[14:31] <linXea> GreenSkunk: Look okay.. Not really nessessary to have different partitions for boot, tmp, usr etc anymore.. partitions for /  and for /home is enough. But ofcourse you can do it old school

[14:35] <tjc_> stefg, indeed, the wcid works way quicker, I'd tried to connect to my wireless but that failed though ;/ probably the reboot will help - i've just upgraded the kernel to 2.6.28-15

[14:36] <martingz> hello, i have a problem with my system. Sometimes the filesystem stops working (ext4 on a 2.6.31 kernel), and the kernel says some thing like it found an inode between two cylinders (maybe i'm wrong, don't get logged on syslog). Do any of you heard something about a bug like this, or is my hard drive dead?
[14:37] <napzter> guys how can I run as root in gui application such as Bluefish editor?

[14:37] <bazhang> martingz, karmic?
[14:38] <remfarkas> already finished apt-get install linux-generic

[14:39] <remfarkas> 2.6.28-15
[14:39] <remfarkas> thats what i installed today, and i wanted to remove older kernels
[14:39] <remfarkas> but it turned out, that the command i used for that in 8.10 deletes now all kernels
[14:39] <tcpip_mrb> i was installing xchat through synaptic and then my system froze while synaptic showed 'preparing packages' and now when I restart it does not boot.. please help I am on Wubi installed linux and I dont have a backup
[14:40] <stefg> remfarkas: so now check /boot/grub/menu.lst if the kernel is listed. If yes you can leave the chroot and reboot
[14:40] <remfarkas> and it also removed my nvidia driver too, i think, and also the system that makes it easy to install and activate restricted drivers
[14:41] <leberny> remfarkas : i made recovery start then fix broken packages and at the end it offers me to delete obsolete packages
[14:41] <leberny> it removed my entries in grub
[14:41] <remfarkas> thx for advice
[14:41] <napzter> hi Guys...
[14:41] <remfarkas> and menu.lst is fine

[14:54] <b3rz3rk3r> Chris220, legacy drivers for that relic mate ;)
[14:54] <Chris220> Heh, fair enough ;)
[14:54] <groza> b3rz3rk3r: quick cam chat.i think i dont have a video driver.
[14:54] <jinnstar> ona, chmod +x atidriver.run then ./atidriver.run
[14:55] <stefg> tcpip_mrb: true, i didn't express that clearly.. what i meant is: busybox isn't enough to rescue a system, and windows can't do. I'll suggest preparing a USP thumbdrive and using that to access the ubuntu image
[14:55] <b3rz3rk3r> groza, is that a logitech?
[14:55] <chrisss6> Hey guys, is there a way to partition an area that might increase the speed of programs on ubuntu?
[14:55] <ona> wait
[14:55] <groza> b3rz3rk3r: yes
[14:56] <b3rz3rk3r> groza, yeah i have something similar that iv yet to set up still...  also logitech quickcam something
[14:56] <Trijntje> chrisss6: I dont understand your question
[14:56] <tcpip_mrb> stefg: with the USB image, can I access the data within root.disk?
[14:56] <b3rz3rk3r> Chris220, swap space?
[14:56] <ona> after writting chmod +x atidriver.run I've seen "no such file or directory"
[14:56] <groza> b3rz3rk3r: what do you mean?
[14:56] <ona> :(
[14:56] <stefg> chrisss6: you don't need that. Linux filesystems are quite smart. all you can do is using a faster disk or set up some raid
[14:56] <b3rz3rk3r> Chris220, oops.. my bad. wrong chris :p
[14:56] <ona> the file is on desktop
[14:56] <b3rz3rk3r> chrisss6, swap space
[14:57] <ona> how to install it ?:(

[14:57] <b3rz3rk3r> groza, i have one too, and it isnt working either. but i havent tried very hard to set it up yet
[14:57] <chrisss6> stefg, b3rz3k3r, Trinjntje: So increasing swap space will make programs run faster? How much GB would you recommend?
[14:58] <groza> b3rz3rk3r: you know what to do?
[14:58] <ona> I had to 3times install ubuntu because after restarting computer I saw horizontal lines on my monitor
[14:58] <ona> :(
[14:58] <jinnstar> type cd Desktop then hit enter. then run the two commands I gave above on the .run file
[14:58] <stefg> tcpip_mrb: i have never used a wubi install, but my understanding is that it is just a big loopback-file (anyone knows this?). you can mount that to the live CD with a mount -o loop ...
[14:58] <ona> I have to install it:(
[14:58] <chrisss6> run/load faster?
[14:58] <groza> b3rz3rk3r: in ubuntu 8.04 worked
[14:58] <stefg> chrisss6: that won't do anything ...
[14:58] <Trijntje> chrisss6: how much memory do you have? usualy at least that much, and max twice that i believe
[14:58] <b3rz3rk3r> chrisss6, not directly no. but overall system performance would be better with some swap. I ususally use the rule of at least the same amount of RAM that is installed
[14:58] <ona> I tried to install open driver
[14:58] <reaktae> my b43 wlan adapter has been dumping phy transmission errors all over syslog until i reverted to an older driver. ever since then it seems that it's been having issues with dhcp. right after loading the module, i get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/257508/ . Using the latest firmware/driver caused the same + a few other, critical issues. bugtrack has files on all of them already. any idea/suggestion/help is very welcome.
[14:58] <ona> thanks synaptec
[14:58] <brk3> hello, ubuntu seems to be dropping my mobile broadband connection(ppp0) after about 30 mins of inactivity.. is there any way to stop this?
[14:59] <ona> but doesn't work
[14:59] <b3rz3rk3r> groza, in theory yes. we just need to find some drivers that work for it. but lgitech doesnt make any, and i havent looked for others yet as i dont really use video much
[14:59] <b3rz3rk3r> groza, have you googled for some drivers?
[15:00] <chrisss6> stefg, b3rz3k3r, Trinjntje: Okay. GParted is the program to use? If you want to partition stuff?
[15:00] <b3rz3rk3r> chrisss6, yes that will work fine
[15:00] <ventti> brk3 you sure its not the ISP killing the connection due to inactivity?
[15:00] <stefg> chrisss6: what are you trying to achieve? don't put your system at risk for nothing
[15:00] <Chris220> How do I run/install/open a ".run" file?
[15:00] <brk3> ventti: possibly
[15:00] <brk3> ventti: but i doubt it
[15:00] <brk3> ventti: the light goes off on the modem
[15:01] <groza> b3rz3rk3r:it worked in ubuntu
[15:01] <reaktae1> dropped but back now. miss any reply?
[15:01] <chrisss6> stefg: I want programs to run/load more smoothly.
[15:01] <Zelfje> brk3: it isnt ubuty but indeed the isp
[15:01] <ventti> Ubu shouldnt kill a connection dur to inactivuty
[15:01] <Chris220> Oh don't worry found out
[15:01] <jinnstar> Chris220, , chmod +x atidriver.run then ./atidriver.run
[15:01] <jinnstar> for example
[15:01] <Zelfje> brk3: you can add cron ping to google each 20 minutes
[15:02] <stefg> chrisss6: what's wrong with the current situation ? anything particular to blame?
[15:02] <brk3> Zelfje: ok ill try that
[15:02] <b3rz3rk3r> Chris220, make it executable (right click, properties, permissions, tick) then use "sh filenamehere.run"
[15:02] <brk3> thanks
[15:02] <Zelfje> yw
[15:02] <b3rz3rk3r> groza, what are you running now then?
[15:02] <chrisss6> stefg: Firefox takes like, 5 seconds to load.

[15:02] <IdleOne> omg 5 seconds
[15:03] <chrisss6> I KNOW, right?! That's ridiculous.
[15:03] <IdleOne> I was being sarcastic
[15:03] <chrisss6> Me too.

[15:04] <dk> hi guys, i have a question that i cant seem to find an answer to..is it possible to remove icons that are displayed in workspaces? for example the firefox one. i'd prefer just to have window outlines, no icons
[15:05] <b3rz3rk3r> dk, yes, right click on them and choose remove
[15:05] <chrisss6> stefg: I'm afraid I don't know which one is RAM, so: Mem: Total, used, free, shared, buffers, cached: 995, 362, 633, 0, 24, 165
[15:05] <dk> i did that, i didnt see anything, 1 sec
[15:06] <chrisss6> stefg: Probably 362. Although there's another row with "-/+ buffers/cache" that has 172 used, and another "Swap" with 0 used.
[15:06] <dk> nono i mean, i want the workspaces to show on my panel, but i am trying to get them to display jus the window outlines in each workspace, no icons
[15:06] <b3rz3rk3r> dk, wait, u mean in the workspace switcher?
[15:06] <stefg> chrisss6: so you have 1G of ram, 362M is used for programs and 633M is cache
[15:07] <chrisss6> stefg: Yep, I have 1G ram. Although I'm willing to get 2Gs if it'd help.
[15:07] <stefg> chrisss6: does the last line say that any swap is used?
[15:07] <b3rz3rk3r> dk, no idea.. i really like that feature so i dont mess with it, sry
[15:07] <dk> np
[15:07] <chrisss6> stefg: 0 swap used, 956 total and free.
[15:07] <b3rz3rk3r> chrisss6, more ram is always better :p
[15:07] <chrisss6> b3rz3rk3r: :P
[15:08] <stefg> chrisss6: so increasing swap space will just waste more space that's not being used ..
[15:08] <coldjack> hello how can i change the loudness of my subwoofer

[15:08] <coldjack> that is my pulse audio config
[15:09] <stefg> chrisss6: what cpu is that?

[15:11] <Cyber-Dogg> my sound works fine in myth
[15:11] <Cyber-Dogg> but I had to configure myth to use ALSA:plughw:0,3
[15:11] <Cyber-Dogg> is there some equivalent of that for flash?
[15:11] <MaGicMaX> hey guys, im trying to port linux on my ipod so i can play ogg files (rockbox doesnt support my model). In the install guide here http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/installation.shtml the first step is to find where the devide is visible on the system (mounted) when the "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" command is run i get "Host: scsi11 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
[15:11] <MaGicMaX>   Vendor: Apple    Model: iPod             Rev: 1.62
[15:11] <MaGicMaX>   Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 00" so what does "scsi11" convert to in a mount point?
[15:12] <tdn> How do I run a script everytime I boot the machine, after the network has been brought up. I have tried putting the script in /etc/network/if-up.d/, but appearently, this does not work. How do I solve this?
[15:12] <hakka> allora gente
[15:12] <stefg> chrisss6: you could optimize your partitioning scheme though ... 3 hours of work to come from 5 sec. firefox start to 4,95 sec :-)
[15:14] <remfarkas> hi all
[15:14] <chrisss6> stefg: Heh, I'll pass. Is there a way to tell how much GBs I allocated to which sda#? I've tried fdisk -l, but I can't decipher the meaning.
[15:14] <MaGicMaX> according to the guide "The scsi0 portion indicates the iPod is the first SCSI device and so will be visible as /dev/sda, if on your system you see scsi1 then your iPod would be using device /dev/sdb" so mine is on "scsi11" which would be /dev/sdk from my understanding, but that wont work

[15:16] <chrisss6> stefg: Couldn't find package pastebin. I'm guessing I need to install something?
[15:16] <scizzo-> stefg: pastebinit

[15:17] <chrisss6> bazhang, stefg: Oh no, I typed it right in the terminal but wrong here. "Couldn't find pacakge pastebinit"
[15:17] <stefg> !find pastebinit

[15:18] <WhiteyMc-Tip> quick question for anyone: I'm running Ubuntu (Jaunty) and anytime I restart or shutdown my system I get a beeping noise ( the one you would normally get when giving the a command prompt an incorrect command or syntax)
[15:18] <stefg> chrisss6: what version of ubuntu do you run ?
[15:18] <chrisss6> stefg: 9.04
[15:18] <hey`> ello
[15:19] <masquerade> WhiteyMc-Tip: i get this also, this is nothing to worry about
[15:19] <stefg> chrisss6: run sudo apt-get update, then try again to sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[15:19] <WhiteyMc-Tip> masquerade: do you know why it happens
[15:19] <Chris220> I keep closing the channel -_-
[15:19] <Whit2spring> guys , Does anybody know computer hardware sites which include picture,review so on..?
[15:19] <tjc_> stefg, thx for all the hints, I've made the thing work now using WPA passphrase, it looks like ndiswrapper wouldn't do the trick, so I've tried again with the b43 ( as it now supports broadcom 4318 ), also did the kernel upgrade to 2.26.28-15, and installed the wicd - I'm unsure if the wicd actually solved it, or if it was b43, but it works much smoother with wicd than NetworkManager ;-))
[15:20] <bazhang> Whit2spring, ask in ##hardware ? here is ubuntu support
[15:20] <Chris220> Ok, I'm installing the driver now, it's saying "ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing." What is an X server?
[15:20] <Whit2spring> bazhang, ok sorry
[15:21] <simran> how can i change the keyring password
[15:21] <joachim> hello everyone
[15:21] <Boohbah> Chris220: that is your graphical environment. perhaps you need to drop to a text console to install it
[15:21] <Chris220> text console?
[15:21] <joachim> does anyone know if it's possible to install windows Vista, then install using Wubi ubuntu on the NTFS partition and then use TrueCrypt to encrypt the NTFS and have the Ubuntu Linux still working ?
[15:22] <Chris220> I'm running this install inside of the Terminal
[15:22] <Chris220> as root
[15:22] <joachim> I know for a fact that encryption before using Wubi doesn't work but is the same after installing Wubi ?
[15:22] <reaktae1> I'm concerned about my dhclient repeatedly failing to discover. What can i do about this? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/257545/ ... it never used to do this, using the same firmware/drivers. It's been like that after a fresh install.
[15:22] <joachim> (installing with Wubi I mean)
[15:23] <blaike> Hi everyone, have recently installed ubuntu 9.04 on to my intel atom set-up. I was hoping to find out how I could set-up xorg to not search for a monitor on start-up. I am trying to run it headless but it keeps coming up with "low graphics error" where it discovers I have no monitor attached and fails to proceed beyond this screen. Any help would be very much appreciated!
[15:23] <joachim> maybe I'll just have to try it and see if the order changes anything
[15:24] <stefg> reaktae1: i'd first verify the hardware by booting the live CD and trying if dhclient fails from there, too
[15:24] <joachim> it's tricky
[15:24] <jefinc> where do I setup a built in webcam? (ASUS laptop)
[15:25] <stefg> reaktae1: ... and you are talking about the wired interface, aren't you?
[15:26] <IdleOne> !webcam | jefinc
[15:26] <reaktae1> stefg: it's mint in a live session and it's a b43 wireless adapter.
[15:26] <stefg> reaktae1: oh ... broadcom .. scroll up, we just had that :-(
[15:27] <Aque0s> hey all, firstly id like to know, if they are on the same switch / same network and one pc has a different subnet to the other, can they speak to eachother/
[15:27] <stefg> reaktae1: the driver seems broken... use wicd and try ndiswrapper
[15:27] <nmvictor> i successfully installed nagios 3.0, i have set it up correctly and everthing was fine untill i logged in to its web interface through http://localhost/nagios to find that i cant log in with the username and password i had configured to it.what could the problem be?
[15:28] <jefinc> IdleOne: oh yes thanks, forgot the all mighty bot :)
[15:28] <reaktae1> stefg: not sure i was here then. is there a log?
[15:29] <stefg> reaktae1: i just looked... nothing of interest.
[15:29] <stefg> !wifi | reaktae1
[15:30] <Vampires> i want bitches
[15:32] <reaktae1> stefg: it's not the driver's fault. i've run it with the latest from fwcutter and that got even worse (thousands of phy transmission errors a minute, which there is a bugreport for). and the dhclient performed the same way then...
[15:32] <dragonrigs> helo

[15:34] <TAVITO> OU
[15:34] <stefg> reaktae1: that doesn't prove that the driver isn't even more broken after update ... try a wired connection, if dhclient still fails then look at router/hardware.
[15:34] <bazhang> Vampires, that is not possible

[15:49] <erUSUL> thebarx: most window manager are highly configurable... just find one you like
[15:49] <blaike> ubottu That is good, but it will always search for a monitor on start-up. As there is no monitor it will fail to load any further. Is there a way to get it not to search for a monitor. That wiki does not seem to mention how to do this, or is it the section about setting up a virtual monitor in the xorg.conf?
[15:50] <stefg> Goldenjo: Then probably gnome-policy-kit is not installed
[15:50] <thebarx> or gksudo if you want to see in another window to see if you're typing you password xD

[15:53] <thebarx> I hat a ratlink usb too
[15:53] <bluboy> hi all
[15:53] <thebarx> are you using version 9.04 or 8.10?
[15:54] <checkit> thebarx: I'm using 8.10
[15:54] <thebarx> that kernels are apropiate to detect that wireless-usb things
[15:54] <Goldenjo> I have the policity kit already.
[15:54] <checkit> thebarx: Sorry?
[15:55] <thebarx> well, the kernels that have 8.10 or 9.04
[15:55] <Saddlery> ..
[15:55] <VCoolio> Goldenjo: "gksudo users-admin" or is that a bad idea considering permissions?
[15:55] <Saddlery> Any body here
[15:55] <erUSUL> !ask | Saddlery
[15:55] <Goldenjo> All this happens since i moved /home and /usr directories to another partition and linked it to the system partition.
[15:55] <Saddlery> thanks
[15:56] <thebarx> in the past existed an executable that you had to run by terminal named monkey drivers
[15:56] <bluboy> Please, where can I find drivers for my graphics card? It's an old asus V9480 with NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti4800SE GPU. Thanks
[15:56] <thebarx> you can search in the internet. It's suppossed thar nowadays are integrated to kernel
[15:57] <thebarx> since ubuntu 8.10
[15:58] <stefg> bluboy: what ubuntu version are you running?
[15:58] <thebarx> sorry, is serial monkey not monkey drivers xD
[15:58] <kapu> is robbing space from /home to make root partition bigger a major big deal, or is it somewhat easy to accomplish?
[15:58] <bluboy> Jaunty
[15:58] <Goldenjo> ** (users-admin:5978): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '5978'
[15:58] <checkit> thebarx: Yeah, I've heard of serial monkey
[15:58] <bluboy> the card is about six years old
[15:58] <Goldenjo> The output of it.
[15:58] <erUSUL> kapu: it depends on the disk layout you have
[15:59] <erUSUL> kapu: if the layout is ok then gparted could do it if it is not maybe you have to do some mayor surgery so to speak
[15:59] <stefg> bluboy: bad news: nvidia dropped the legacy driver (the one you need) for adaption to newer xorg releases. If you need 3D the last version you can run is 8.04 hardy (or get a newer video card)
[15:59] <kapu> http://pastebin.com/d20f89140
[15:59] <kapu> here is my df
[16:00] <thebarx> try this package

[16:00] <erUSUL> kapu: no « sudo fdisk -l »
[16:00] <kapu> ok
[16:00] <stefg> bluboy: if you don't need §D use the (open source) nv driver
[16:00] <bluboy> i'm so sad! right now I wanted to go from win to linux
[16:01] <rodimus> whe, ubuntu
[16:01] <stefg> bluboy: what
[16:01] <stefg> bluboy: what's wrong with running hardy on an old box?
[16:01] <kapu> http://pastebin.com/db7a539e
[16:02] <kapu> erUSUL: I pasted sudo fdisk -l if you would like to see it
[16:02] <erUSUL> kapu: you are using lvm ?
[16:02] <bluboy> i'd like to use jaunty but i think that i have no choice!
[16:02] <kapu> erUSUL: I don't know, how can I find out?
[16:02] <erUSUL> kapu: never used it myself but it is supposd to make resizing of partitions easier
[16:02] <checkit> thebarx: 2570 seems to be the USB driver, 2500 is the PCI driver
[16:03] <erUSUL> kapu: well you are... you use the device mapper

[16:05] <MM_DD_> i downloaded driver as tar.gz   how to install it??  (i'm new user)
[16:05] <bluboy> stefg: so I can only install the version 8.04 on my old system???
[16:05] <bazhang> either via synaptic package manager or the command line : sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[16:05] <bazhang> MM_DD_, which driver
[16:05] <MM_DD_> for pic card satallite

[16:05] <Belding> !sdcard > Belding
[16:06] <stefg> bluboy: you can install 9.04, but you won't have the (closed source) nvidia-legacy driver, only the open source nv-driver (which doesn't do 3D)
[16:06] <erUSUL> kapu: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/how-to-resize-root-lvm-logical-volume-337823/?s=b0db175d2182071842cf699709210081
[16:06] <Chris220> Thing is, it said a load about editing my "X config file?" Wheras the Ubuntu website said I wouldn't need to.
[16:06] <Chris220> How can I test if the drivers are being used now?
[16:06] <Chris220> So I can tell whether I must edit my X Config

[16:10] <thebarx> you can see it?
[16:11] <bazhang> vaxetihirr, the lower right corner of the bottom panel ?
[16:11] <MM_DD_> when i type ./configure it answers bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[16:11] <thebarx> yes

[16:20] <SmithX> hi

[16:26] <boingboingbongg> did you get the info?
[16:26] <Chris220> boingboingbongg, use Pastebin :)
[16:27] <Chris220> or a similar service
[16:27] <asg> boingboingbongg: we did and that looks good
[16:27] <nmvictor> how would I use dpkg -l and grep tools in a script to verify that a package like apache2 is installed?

I appear to be having a small amount of trouble with my laptop wireless card, it's an atheros, but the ath9k drivers do not work, nor does ath_pci, and I cant seem to initialize the ath5k drivers, even when using modprobe -f, is there any other substitutions short of installing ndiswrapper?
[16:28] <stefg> boingboingbongg: it doesn't work that way. powertop is reporting and suggesting things ... one after the other. you have to look and read what powertop is telling you.
[16:28] <tm512> can I get any help setting up audio in ubuntu server?

[16:29] <phreck> so i just installed the 15 kernel
[16:29] <phreck> grub didnt update.
[16:29] <Varth> Can someone help me get my mic working for Skype? I'm running 9.04 on a Lenovo S10 netbook
[16:29] <phreck> anyone know how to fix that?
[16:29] <boingboingbongg> fglrx seems to be the problem
[16:29] <boingboingbongg> does it mean that my graphics card is taking lot of power
[16:30] <stefg> boingboingbongg: and i can tell you upfront that mono is a cpu hog and waking up the cpu far too often... get rid of it. next make sure your cpu frq-scaling is working properly
[16:30] <Puterputter> I need some help getting a new install of ubuntu to see my broadcom wireless on the laptop.
[16:30] <|Slacker|> hey there

[16:30] <stefg> boingboingbongg: the most obvious problem... the ati-drivers are junk... sad, but a fact of life
[16:30] <|Slacker|> this ubuntu netbook remix rocks the hell outta it
[16:31] <boingboingbongg> i have propretiary
[16:31] <boingboingbongg> drivers
[16:31] <boingboingbongg> for my graphics card
[16:31] <stefg> !envy | Grosvenor
[16:31] <phreck> they work decent enough
[16:31] <stefg> boingboingbongg: exactly... that's why they are junk
[16:31] <Grosvenor> tried envy, didn't work
[16:31] <westmi> Grosvenor, sounds like a driver issue
[16:32] <tm512> how do you et up alsa?
[16:32] <tm512> *set
[16:32] <Grosvenor> probably, but i've tried 4 or 5 different drivers. this is the best i've done so far
[16:32] <Chris220> How can I see what drivers I am currently using for my Graphics card?
[16:32] <Grosvenor> running driver 169.12
[16:32] <randam> boingboingboing: one thing to check (not sure whether this has been mentioned) is if the drivers are actually loading. Mine werent on startup, so I had to add it to the /etc/modules file
[16:32] <MaGicMaX> is it possible to add an Audacious applet to my panel? (so i can access it and change tracks on any workspace)
[16:33] <Grosvenor> visual effects are working, but no larger resolution
[16:33] <boingboingbongg> any alternative to fglrx which will run compiz fusion
[16:33] <Puterputter> I need some help getting a new install of ubuntu to see my broadcom wireless on the laptop.
[16:33] <boingboingbongg> and be fast enough for games
[16:34] <Grosvenor> is there any way to override the default resolutions with Xrandr?
[16:34] <GPL> when starting gDesklets from Accessories, it says Error "Could not launch gDesklets" , why so ? :(
[16:34] <boingboingbongg> what can i do about these shitty fglrx drivers?
[16:35] <stefg> boingboingbongg: buy an Nvidia card ...
[16:35] <Grosvenor> hah
[16:35] <stefg> boingboingbongg: buy anNvidia card ...
[16:35] <boingboingbongg> i have a laptop and i cant change it easily

[16:36] <GPL> westmi: Failed to execute child process "gdesklets" (No such file or directory) <- this is the error, what's the solution
[16:36] <boingboingbongg> how can i press ati to release good driverS?
[16:36] <DaZ> newer cards are still supported <:
[16:36] <tm512> Grosvenor: yes I had ubuntu's livercd running on my powermac G4
[16:36] <westmi> GPL,reinstall it from synaptic
[16:36] <asg> Grosvenor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution <--- did you check the instructions there for adding new modelines?
[16:36] <tm512> nvidia geforce2 mx
[16:36] <stefg> boingboingbongg: buy an Nvidia card ?
[16:37] <stefg> :-)
[16:37] <GPL> westmi: gdesklets is already the newest version, when i try to do so ?
[16:37] <boingboingbongg> i already bought this one thats not a practical solution

[16:44] <Chris220> How do I edit my "X Config"?
[16:44] <asg> zipito: netstat
[16:44] <Shoe> VCoolio, I don't see anyting under the apps tab in any of the sub catergories that says nautilus
[16:44] <stefg> !fixres | Chris220
[16:45] <jiohdi> under gnome, I had a right click option of extract here... but under xfce4 it seems to be missing, how do I get it back?
[16:45] <VCoolio> Shoe:  in gconf-editor, right?
[16:45] <zipito> asg, with that I can see that I'm using that port
[16:45] <arkturus> hi
[16:45] <VCoolio> jiohdi: in thunar?
[16:45] <jiohdi> VCoolio: I think so
[16:45] <zipito> asg, but I need to know which service  is using that port to stop that service
[16:45] <tm512> I need help setting up audio in ubuntu server :o
[16:45] <asg> zipito: netstat -ntl should show you the program listening. If not, use 'lsof'
[16:45] <Hamidreza> i can`t understand x windows . can u tell me about it?
[16:45] <Shoe> I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not Ubuntu Savvy VCoolio
[16:46] <VCoolio> jiohdi: there is an extra plugin you can install for that, hang on
[16:46] <asg> zipito: the service name should be in the output
[16:46] <Chris220> stefg, Maybe that's not what I'm looking for then... I just installed an nVidia driver and it said I would have to change a few lines in my "X Config" or something... something about xorg
[16:46] <jiohdi> VC... ok
[16:46] <scizzo-> Hamidreza: what is the question exactly about xorg?
[16:46] <asg> zipito: sorry, try netstat -apnut
[16:46] <zipito> asg, thanks
[16:46] <VCoolio> jiohdi: thunar-archive-plugin
[16:46] <boingboingbongg> i went to #ati but theres is no activity there
[16:46] <Hamidreza> what is it?
[16:46] <jiohdi> VC... is that under add remove or synaptic?
[16:46] <VCoolio> Shoe: alt-f2 and type "gconf-editor" in the box
[16:47] <GPL> boingboingbongg: you got to wait :)
[16:47] <stefg> Chris220: did you have a particulr reason not to use the driver supplied with ubuntu?
[16:47] <zipito> asg, thanks a lot found! that was adobe wave - after installing that I can't use mine JBOSS server :)
[16:47] <boingboingbongg> can soemone use remote desktop and fix it for me?
[16:47] <Chris220> I was told to install a Legacy driver from the nVidia website
[16:47] <VCoolio> jiohdi: in synaptic (or in terminal: sudo apt-get install thunar-archive-plugin)
[16:47] <Chris220> Because I was having problems with Blender
[16:47] <tm512> can /anyone/ help?
[16:47] <stefg> Chris220: what version of ubuntu do you run ?
[16:47] <GPL> !anyone | tm512
[16:48] <jiohdi> thanks VC
[16:48] <Shoe> VCoolio, it brought up a window that says "Configuration Editor" Now what?
[16:48] <Chris220> stefg: 9.04
[16:48] <scizzo-> Hamidreza: xorg is what you call "x windows" its for the graphics of linux
[16:48] <stefg> Chris220: and what nvidia card do you have ?
[16:48] <boingboingbongg> somebody connect to my ubuntu box using vnc and help me fix my battery problem
[16:48] <stefg> Chris220: lspci | grep VGA
[16:48] <scizzo-> !xorg
[16:48] <VCoolio> Shoe: now in the left tree navigate to apps > nautilus > preferences, then on the right scroll down to show_desktop and see if it is checked
[16:48] <tm512> I need to set up audio in ubuntu server, I have install alsa, also-oss, and vlc, but I still can't get sound
[16:48] <Chris220> stefg :RIVA TNT2 Model 64 (old, I know)
[16:49] <Shoe> it is VCoolio
[16:50] <scizzo-> Hamidreza: please do not /msg questions
[16:50] <Goldiadkin> Hi, i'm having some trouble with gparted, it doesn't allow me to do anything even when i'm root
[16:50] <Chris220> stefg: Output from that command gives me "nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15)"
[16:50] <stefg> Chris220: Nvidia dropped support for the -legacy driver for newer xorg versions. the last version of ubuntu having 3D support for that card is 8.04 hardy. No way of getting 3D to work in jaubty for that card
[16:50] <VCoolio> ok, that narrows it down; don't know any other options though, sorry
[16:51] <Chris220> stefg: Well it worked, it just was very slow
[16:51] <stefg> Chris220: because it was using the software emuation
[16:51] <Chris220> Ah I see
[16:51] <Chris220> stefg: Ok, if that's the case, how can I remove this driver I've just installed? I don't want it lying around uselessly
[16:51] <madtychie> ok
[16:52] <tm512> I need to set up audio in ubuntu server, I have installed alsa, also-oss, and vlc, but I still can't get sound, help?
[16:52] <Shoe> I let my cousins on my computer, and now no desktop icons or shortcuts or anything is there. I try dragging stuff from a window, or try dragging stuff from the apllications bar to the desktop, OR try saving a file to the desktop from the internet, and nothing is happening. Help?
[16:52] <GPL> Chris220: sudo apt-get remove <driver-name> would work ?
[16:52] <madtychie> my first question for the day yes how do i enable my boot screen on ubuntu
[16:53] <stefg> Chris220: usually you run the nvidia-*.run file with a -uninstall switch. But that's the problem with programs bypassing the package management... you never know how to get rid of them again
[16:54] <Chris220> stefg: Ok, I guess I have to redownload it then X_X
[16:54] <Chris220> Thanks for the help
[16:54] <slide> Is there no way to access smb drives when opening files in programs?
[16:54] <madtychie> i need help with my bootscreen

[16:55] <Mraedis> Guys
[16:55] <Mraedis> Serious issue
[16:55] <Mraedis> I got my wireless card installed & working, finds the network and such.
[16:55] <Mraedis> The instant I connect to the network, however, (password typed in and stuff) my entire pc crashes
[16:55] <madalin> hello
[16:55] <madalin> i am trying to setup a dhcp server and i am having problems. Does anyone have a tutorial on that or something please?
[16:55] <Mraedis> It just freezes
[16:55] <VCoolio> madtychie: you mean the usplash part (with the progress bar)? Use startupmanager
[16:56] <|Slacker|> nevermind...cam's working
[16:56] <madtychie> yes
[16:56] <madtychie> yes i did go to startmanager
[16:56] <ramiro> if I run dpkg-buildpackage, it will try to patch the code again. how do I build only what is already there? (no patching again)
[16:56] <tm512> I need to set up audio in ubuntu server, I have installed alsa, also-oss, and vlc, but I still can't get sound, help?
[16:56] <VCoolio> madtychie: then what happened?
[16:56] <madtychie> and i restart
[16:57] <madtychie> it all i see
[16:57] <madtychie> is the these long writing
[16:57] <madtychie> and the it start up
[16:57] <madtychie> but i want my bootscreen back
[16:57] <Mraedis> So to sum it all up: Wireless card words, Wireless network found, Wireless network connect -> Crash
[16:57] <madtychie> ok

[17:01] <Slart> boingboingbongg: check the link ubottu sent you.. there's info there

[17:03] <jmak1> Hello All, Noob question here. I recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.0.4 for 64 bit. Browsing the Ubuntu forums I came across the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/346691 I have not experienced this bug but this apparently affects linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic kernels. I just checked the Kernel I have installed and its linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic. Does anybody know if this bug was fixed in linux-i
[17:04] <MTecknology> jmak1: cut off after fixed in linux-i
[17:04] <IdleOne> jmak1: probably
[17:04] <tm512> I need help setting up audio in a minimal ubuntu 9.04 install on my thinkpad a20m, installed alsa, alsa-oss, and vlc but I can't get sound, I know I'm missing something
[17:04] <stefg> madtychie: run ' sudo blkid' , then run 'cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume'  Does the UUID match ?
[17:05] <boingboingbongg> how do i get a history of recently typed commands in irc
[17:05] <Slart> jmak1: it might be a jfs specific problem.. my system is still running despite having used that kernel
[17:05] <IdleOne> boingboingbongg: arrow up if your using xchat
[17:05] <odder> boingboingbongg: it depends on your irc client
[17:05] <jmak1> message cut off cont'd - Does anybody know if this bug was fixed in linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic or do I need to upgrade my kernel? Thanks in advance.
[17:06] <boingboingbongg> i use pidgin
[17:06] <jmak1> Slart: I'm a real noob here, what is jfs?
[17:06] <IdleOne> jmak1: if your not affected by the bug your safe
[17:06] <Slart> jmak1: it also mentions that this was in a pre-release version of jaunty.. that's what pre-release is about
[17:06] <Slart> jmak1: it's a file system.. like ntfs or fat32...
[17:07] <shamm> g'day y'all!
[17:07] <jmak1> Ok, thanks. I'll assume I'm safe for now.
[17:07] <odder> boingboingbongg: try arrow up. per IdleOne
[17:07] <lollan> hi, I want to get into emacs, so I install it but it opens with a gui, I've heard that there was the console version and the gui one. Any tip on how to run the console one with ubuntu ?

[17:07] <odder> hello shamm :-)

[17:09] <Shoe> What do I install from Add/Remove for games like Runescape to run in firefox?
[17:10] <lollan> scizzo-: i try that thanks
[17:10] <MTecknology> Shoe: ... you don't install them in the first place
[17:10] <coventry> Yesterday, I "apt-get upgrade"d 64 bit ubuntu hardy on my laptop.  Now firefox doesn't recognize my flash plugin.  Is this a known problem?  How can I go about debugging this?
[17:10] <lollan> I try that as well odder thanks
[17:10] <dbugger> stefg, Planner is not in the ubuntu repositories?
[17:10] <dbugger> oh yes, but it has to "n" :P
[17:11] <odder> boingboingbongg: try Ctrl-up arrow
[17:11] <stefg> dbugger: sure it is... otherwise ubotto wouldn't have info on it
[17:11] <Shoe> MTecknology, java isn't installed. What app do I need to make it work?
[17:11] <MTecknology> Shoe: java
[17:11] <dbugger> stefg, sorry silly mistake :D
[17:11] <boingboingbongg> works
[17:11] <MTecknology> !java
[17:11] <lollan> scizzo-: it worked thanks
[17:11] <stefg> dbugger: planner != Planner :-)
[17:11] <boingboingbongg> point me to a guide to learn basic irc rules and commands
[17:11] <Shoe> Okay, I searched for java you fuckhead, and downloaded 3 different apps. Still isn't working
[17:12] <scizzo-> lollan: welcome
[17:12] <MTecknology> !language > Shoe
[17:12] <dbugger> na, the problem was I was looking for "planer" with just 1 "n" :D
[17:12] <VCoolio> boingboingbongg: http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html
[17:12] <VCoolio> boingboingbongg: also google
[17:13] <odder> boingboingbongg: rules and commands depend on the network you're chatting in and your irc client, google for it
[17:13] <stefg> dbugger: but for your entertainmaint you can run 'apt-cache search gantt' and see waht come up
[17:13] <zipito> did anyone managed to run jboss AS 5.1.0GA on Ubuntu 9.04 ?   I'm always getting error about unique port :(   double checked that port is free
[17:13] <dbugger> stefg, I didnt know that function! Thanks!
[17:13] <odder> boingboingbongg: there is, for example, a CoC for ubuntu-related channels, like http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct
[17:14] <shamm> When I tried to rebuild virtualbox using /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose, the kernel module rebuild failed.

[17:15] <phreck> so i just updated to the 15 kernel, but grub doesnt even givee it to me as a boot option... any ideas guys?
[17:15] <MTecknology> DaZ-: this isn't the place for that
[17:15] <shamm> back in old linpeople and openproject days :)
[17:16] <odder> danny: the vlite? the vista-related program?
[17:16] <Shoe> I search for Java in synaptic package manager, and it gives me a ton of options. Which one do I install to make runescape work in firefox?
[17:16] <danny> yes odder

[17:17] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[17:17] <MTecknology> hi
[17:18] <shamm> hi wildc4rd
[17:18] <shamm> heya starcraftman
[17:18] <shamm> now that reminds me
[17:18] <NoelJB> coventry: on hardy?  As I recall, *uninstall* any flash packages, and install the 64-bit flash directly from Adobe.
[17:18] <stefg> boingboingbongg: the real reason is: all operating systems suck, linux (and ubuntu in particular) just sucks less. And because it takes a while to recognize that,  we kill some time in here :-)
[17:19]  * shamm wanders off to check on StarCraft 2
[17:19] <boingboingbongg> i spend a lot of time messing with things that should just work in both linux and windows
[17:20] <shamm> boingboingbongg: whats the problem?
[17:20] <zipito> how to switch pulseaudio from 4713 port to different ?
[17:20] <stefg> shamm: just don't ask .. ._)
[17:20] <shamm> lol sounds like it was repeated before I came in
[17:20]  * shamm apologizes
[17:21] <starcraftman> lo' there shamm don't think I know ya.
[17:21] <MTecknology> zipito: not perfectly sure offhand, but probably about /etc/pulse* - I'm not in linux atm :(
[17:21] <shamm> starcraftman: no, we don't know each other, but your nick reminds me.. i'm hardcore starcraft player
[17:21] <Shoe> MTecknology, I don't understand the link you sent me at all. All I want is the exact name of an app to get  from package manager
[17:21] <MTecknology> !java
[17:21] <robysath> I have 3 SATA drives, sda, sdb and sdc. Ubunto runs off sda. There is a hardware raid mirror setup on sdb and sdc. What would be the correct way to mount the mirror raid?
[17:21] <GPL> When i open a .html file , it opens with Mozilla Firefox, but when i try to open a URL / Link, it opens with BlueFish CSS Editor :(
[17:22] <stefg> shamm: you know the only 4 letter word with only 3 letters in Linux, don't you? ATI
[17:22] <madalin> when i´m trying to start dhcp server i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257598/
[17:22] <MTecknology> Shoe: For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre
[17:22] <shamm> stefg: gotcha
[17:22] <phreck> ATI isnt that bad, it just takes some configuring
[17:22] <neverblue> if I want to run apache/mysql/php, is it recommended to just run a LAMP install ?
[17:22] <neverblue> rather than configure my Ubuntu desktop
[17:23] <odder> Shoe: try sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
[17:23] <starcraftman> shamm: hehehe, not the first. I'm a bit retired atm, if I got back into playing it with SC2, I'd probably neglect doing my studies for uni. Definitely a great game though.
[17:23] <MTecknology> neverblue: I do a server install and add the extras - but lamp is meant to make things easy
[17:23]  * stefg is happy to hand over boingboingbongg to phreck to troubleshoot his gfx-cards power consumption
[17:23] <Condoulo> would it be possible for me to burn UDF volumes in Wine?
[17:24] <shamm> starcraftman: I agree!
[17:24] <neverblue> MTecknology: usually I use the Ubuntu Guide, to do the initial setup.  They do not give the info on installing/configuring apache/mysql/php anymore, so I am wondering if its not recommended anymore..
[17:24] <MTecknology> neverblue: even if you install the pieces yourself - there's really no configuration needed
[17:24] <phreck> stefg, oh crap lol
[17:25] <phreck> Is it the proprietary drivers?
[17:25] <neverblue> MTecknology: I don't believe that :D
[17:25] <stefg> yup
[17:25] <MTecknology> neverblue: welcome to ubuntu ;)
[17:25] <phreck> And how does he know its consuming too much power
[17:25] <neverblue> there are dependant packages
[17:25] <coventry> NoelJB: Thanks for the suggestion.
[17:25] <stefg> phreck: HTOP
[17:25] <robysath> Is /dev/sr0 my hardware raid?
[17:25] <stefg> phreck: powertop
[17:25] <NoelJB> coventry: welcome :-)
[17:26] <phreck> bug in software? whats his GPU temp
[17:26] <stefg> boingboingbongg: you found your man... phreck you probably should talk to phreck
[17:26] <somaunn> hello everyone

[17:27] <MTecknology> minche: just ask
[17:27] <minche> o can't install moodbar for amarok
[17:27] <boingboingbongg> about the fglrx problem?
[17:27] <neverblue> is 'sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server' correct?
[17:27] <minche> it wont "make" =S

[17:28] <madalin> sadly this channel lacks people who can help...
[17:28] <minche> yeah
[17:28] <MTecknology> madalin: as well as people that can ask questions
[17:28] <elekitr4> gente pra kct hj
[17:28] <NoelJB> madalin: help regarding what?
[17:28] <minche> but i think that is correct tho
[17:28] <elekitr4> opa wrong channel
[17:28] <somaunn> i got a big latency from the moment a type my password to the moment my desktop get ready
[17:28] <MTecknology> elekitr4: What language is that?
[17:29] <minche> kct what kind of word is that :D
[17:29] <madalin> MTecknology: well, i´ve asked a little bit later. If you scroll up, you´ll find my questions are there. Unanswered tough.
[17:29] <minche> bah, i'm out
[17:29] <MTecknology> !patience | ..
[17:29] <madalin> i´m having problems with setting up a dhcp server.. and i´m lost..
[17:29] <stefg> http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html < good read for people waiting for help
[17:29] <MTecknology> madalin: ok
[17:29] <shamm> hmm
[17:29] <madalin> MTecknology: now that was very helpfull of you, thank you. I didn´t know that :)
[17:29] <shamm> when did powertop exist?
[17:30] <madalin> i´m just a newbie on IRC and i don´t know any rules at all..
[17:30] <madalin> but hey, thanks, you rock...
[17:30] <neverblue> thanks MTecknology for the replies, i found a good doc now :)
[17:30] <NoelJB> madalin: what problem are you having?  Been a while since I set one up, but ...
[17:30] <odder> is it just me, or madalin is not utf-8-ing?
[17:30] <MTecknology> madalin: no problem at all - and if you want to check out your manners...
[17:30] <NoelJB> I'm not seeing any encoding problems from madalin
[17:31] <MTecknology> madalin: #ubuntu-server has people there that are more experienced with servers
[17:31] <madalin> odder: i don´t know, i´m using a quassel, never heard about it..looks strange. I have to double press ´ to show it..
[17:31] <stefg> madalin: first question: are you sure you want a dhcp server running on your ubuntu-server? Wouldn't it be more sensible to run it on the gateway ?
[17:31] <DaZ-> quassel is oh-sum.
[17:31] <NoelJB> madalin: best thing for IRC, in my view, is x-chat.  Pidgin or Empathy come with Ubuntu.
[17:31] <madalin> now that was a good answer MTecknology, thank you and i mean it. As for my manners, they´re here but when you´re going nuts the only way to solve issues is yell or something..
[17:32] <di||itante> exit
[17:32] <Goldenjo> How could i open a .jar file with "Open JDK" from the console?
[17:32] <di||itante> dohj
[17:32] <MTecknology> stefg: I wanted to suggest that - but for crappy manners I tend to go with the path of least resistance ;)
[17:32] <DaZ-> Goldenjo, java_vm ?
[17:33] <NoelJB> Goldenjo: if your system (and the jar) are configured properly: java -jar ${jarname}
[17:33] <Goldenjo> Execute the jar file.
[17:33] <madalin> stefg: sorry, it´s an ubuntu server and i need it to be a gateway. And dhcp sounds like a good ideea
[17:33] <MaGicMaX> is the "System Load" in System Monitor based on a 1-10 scale, 10 being full load?
[17:33] <NoelJB> Goldenjo: e.g., java -jar myapp.jar
[17:33] <stefg> madalin: what's the purpose of that server ?
[17:33] <SmithX> hey everyone--is it possible for me to uninstall sudo altogether?
[17:33] <madalin> stefg: sharing internet ?:)
[17:34] <MTecknology> SmithX: aptitude remove sudo
[17:34] <madalin> stefg: it´s a small radio that has about 10 computers that need internet..
[17:34] <SmithX> MTecknology: will that hurt anything?
[17:34] <shamm> hmm....
[17:34] <stefg> madalin: and nothing else? no file/printer sharing?
[17:34] <DaZ-> SmithX, set root password and everything will work
[17:34] <MTecknology> SmithX: not sure - I don't think so. You'll get a big notification if it might
[17:34] <madalin> stefg: samba sounds good, but i´ll take care of that
[17:34] <madalin> dhcp is the one driving me nuts..
[17:34] <MTecknology> SmithX: yes! do that too
[17:35] <DaZ-> i don't know why you want to remove it tho, sudo is faster than su <:
[17:35] <shamm> when I tried to setup virtualbox from /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose I got this error from /var/log/v*log: ./virtualbox-ose: 350: /usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: not found
[17:35] <jiohdi> I installed google-earth via apt-get, now how do I remove it?
[17:35] <NoelJB> stefg: madalin is building a gateway, presumably, that will be connected between a cable modem on one NIC and an intranet on another.
[17:35] <stefg> !ebox | madalin
[17:35] <SmithX> DaZ-: what do you mean set a root password?
[17:35] <odder> jiohdi: sudo apt-get remove google-earth
[17:35] <NoelJB> been there, done that, been a while though.
[17:35] <Goldenjo> I want to open it with the OpenJDK runtime.
[17:35] <Goldenjo> Not the Sun one.
[17:35] <thedancingdeer> what should i add in my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base?? this is my aplay -l: http://tinypaste.com/e9dba
[17:35] <jiohdi> odder... that seemed too simple :)
[17:35] <harjot_> Whart does it mean when i try and fail to see whats on the blank cd "Could not start process. Unable to Create io-slave"
[17:35] <Plusteck> Hola
[17:35] <SmithX> MTecknology: oh, you mean first set a root password and THEN uninstall sudo
[17:35] <odder> jiohdi: should work, I believe?
[17:35] <DaZ-> SmithX, sudo passwd root
[17:35] <NoelJB> Goldenjo: so?  any java should support -jar
[17:36] <harjot_> Whart does it mean when i try and fail to see whats on the blank cd "Could not start process. Unable to Create io-slave"
[17:36] <MTecknology> SmithX: ya - I forgot that - good thing DaZ- was watching - coulda fixed it thouhg
[17:36] <jiohdi> odder, it needs the exact name, is that the same as the installer .bin file?
[17:36] <Gothfunc> hi.  my netword card's module is loaded, but eth0 is missing.  is this a hardware problem?
[17:36] <SmithX> Can anyone think of a reason why I would need sudo if I'm just a single user on my desktop?
[17:36] <Goldenjo> For some unkown reason this .jar ony works with the "Open JDK".
[17:36] <stefg> NoelJB: thx for that backgrounf info ... madalin as loyal as i am to ubuntu i'd rather look at some specialist firewall/gateway distro. IPCop, or its decendent Endian , if not m0n0wall
[17:36] <Gothfunc> *network
[17:36] <harjot_> PEOPLE
[17:37] <MTecknology> SmithX: sudo is easier
[17:37] <odder> jiohdi: aah, understand, did you try typing google-earth -h in terminal?
[17:37] <SmithX> MTecknology: easier than "su -c"?
[17:37] <NoelJB> Goldenjo: so install and use OpenJDK.  Although I'd be curious to know what the deal is.
[17:37] <DaZ-> SmithX, if you remove password from sudo.. yes
[17:37] <jiohdi> odder, no such command
[17:38] <MTecknology> SmithX: you use your password instead of the root password - and it tends to be safer (better logged too)
[17:38] <madalin> stefg: i´m running 9.04 ... it looks like ebox is not working..
[17:38] <Gothfunc> anyone?  my network card worked in this machine before.  i switched to wifi for a while then switched back.  /dev/eth0 is missing and eth0 is not in ifconfig either, but i can see the card in lspci and the module in lsmod.  any ideas?
[17:38] <odder> jiohdi: google-earth --help maybe? I believe it wants the name + the version
[17:38] <NoelJB> stefg: it is pretty easily done.  I did it from scratch in the past, but I don't know how long it would take for me to dig up the old config.  And madalin hasn't said what problem(s) exist.
[17:38] <Goldenjo> Ok. is working with the Sun one, now.
[17:38] <Goldenjo> :-p
[17:38] <shamm> that reminds me....
[17:38] <SmithX> Daz-, MTecknology: why would I ever NOT have a root password for sudo. wouldn't it be unsafe to not?
[17:39] <odder> shamm: yes? :-)
[17:39] <shamm> downloading Solaris 10 intel
[17:39] <NoelJB> Goldenjo: good
[17:39] <madalin> NoelJB: take a look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257600/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/257598/
[17:39] <jiohdi> odder, do I have to find the installed pkg? probably in usr/bin?
[17:39] <DaZ-> SmithX, it is somewhat unsafe, but safer than lame root password imo
[17:39] <incorrect> is there an easy to to install fonts?
[17:39] <incorrect> i have been sent a .ttf
[17:39] <MTecknology> SmithX: you don't set a root password for using sudo - you grant users permission to users that use their own password instead of others having the root password required to use su
[17:40] <DaZ-> incorrect, ~/.fonts
[17:40] <SmithX> MTecknology: as the only user, I might as well just always run as root
[17:40] <stefg> madalin: i have a working jaunty/ebox server. but i run Endian in a virtualbox vm on that and don't use ebox' gateway features. I don't like having file-server and firewall on the same (logical) machine
[17:40] <Gothfunc> does anyone even know if it SOUNDS like a hardware or software issue?
[17:40] <Gothfunc> :P
[17:40] <MTecknology> SmithX: .......................................... /me is speachless
[17:40] <incorrect> DaZ-, i can just copy into there?
[17:40] <MTecknology> SmithX: then just use windows...
[17:40] <NoelJB> madalin: I don't have time to go into details today, so please see: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html
[17:40] <Goldenjo> Know of any reliable and basic motherboard that works OK with Linux.
[17:40] <Goldenjo> ?
[17:40] <odder> jiohdi: I am searching for the solution, wait a sec plz
[17:41] <MTecknology> !root
[17:41] <DaZ-> incorrect, imo yes
[17:41] <MTecknology> !runasroot
[17:41] <NoelJB> LOL @ ubottu
[17:41] <incorrect> DaZ-, no reindexing or anything?
[17:41] <DaZ-> MTecknology, linspire had root user as default
[17:41] <DaZ-> incorrect, dunno, kde manages them for me :f
[17:42] <SmithX> MTecknology: what's the difference between using sudo ot gain root access vs. just running as root??
[17:42] <MTecknology> DaZ-: other distros have too - bad idea too...
[17:42] <odder> jiohdi: ah, i see. the name of the app might be "googleearth"
[17:42] <incorrect> DaZ-, works for gnome too! thanks!
[17:42] <odder> jiohdi: try removing this one
[17:42] <stefg> SmithX: a (remote) attempt to login as root fails
[17:42] <SmithX> stefg: a remote app then runs sudo !!
[17:43] <edgar4385> Hallo, my problem is: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
[17:43] <edgar4385> home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar
[17:43] <harjot_> !ubottu
[17:43] <IdleOne> SmithX: having to use sudo makes you think about what your installing/removing. You got to some webpage and they have a .deb for some really cool app and you install it ( running as root all the time ) and it also happens to harvest your bank and credit card info and sends it back to that site.
[17:43] <edgar4385> java -jar home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar
[17:43] <Gothfunc> how do you get your questions noticed in this channel?
[17:44] <SmithX> IdleOne: so, say I run as a normal user. I run the script I downloaded, and the script does "sudo"
[17:44] <stefg> SmithX: but you have to know two things: username and password ... ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>will always fail on a (standard) ubuntu server. not even brute force works
[17:44] <rblst> SmithX: the difference is not there, the difference is that you do not login as root
[17:44] <IdleOne> the script can't do sudo without you entering your password
[17:44] <MTecknology> !runasroot is <reply>Never {ever} run as root. It's not safe. For starters, you can accidentally wipe your system clean. You could accidentally delete major files. Worse, you could allow a a flaw in an application to delete your system (most security flaws can allow the attacker to run as the current user only).
[17:44] <DaZ-> IdleOne, wrong <:
[17:44] <MTecknology> SmithX: ^
[17:44] <NoelJB> Gothfunc: I saw it.  You might try asking in #nm
[17:44] <jiohdi_> odder, I tried googleearth -uninstall and it opened the program and locked up my system... the reason I want to uninstall it
[17:45] <IdleOne> DaZ-: am I?
[17:45] <odder> jiohdi_: I meant apt-get remove googleearth
[17:45] <DaZ-> bash-4.0$ sudo echo 'test'
[17:45] <DaZ-> test
[17:45] <MTecknology> DaZ-: well - be default IdleOne is right. I doubt he changed sudoers.
[17:45] <DaZ-> :f
[17:45] <FredWP_Yeeloong> Hey I want to switch from Windows to Ubuntu, but I don't want to lose my files, how do I upgrade so I keep my files? LoL!
[17:45] <harjot_> how would i change what ubuntu labels the joystick axis as?
[17:46] <harjot_> like make no3 no4 vice-versa
[17:46] <SmithX> so basically what everyone is saying is that I do in fact need a password for sudo?
[17:46] <Gothfunc> NoelJB: thanks.  were you not going to answer originally?  i'm wondering what i'm doing wrong :s
[17:46] <stefg> FredWP_Yeeloong: first thing is to have about half a dozen of backups :-)
[17:46] <SmithX> which makes it identical to su -c on a single user system?
[17:46] <FredWP_Yeeloong> Pfff never mind then.
[17:46] <jiohdi_> odder, E: Couldn't find package googleearth
[17:47] <edgar4385> after I use "java -jar home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar" I get "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
[17:47] <edgar4385> home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar", how can I fix this problem?
[17:47] <NoelJB> Gothfunc: not something I would resolve off-hand, but it occurred to me that with no one else answering, there IS a dedicated channel for NetworkManager :-)
[17:47] <MTecknology> FredWP_Yeeloong: the installed will offer to keep them for you
[17:47] <Gothfunc> NoelJB: gotcha.  thanks.
[17:47] <Gothfunc> :)
[17:47] <NoelJB> edgar4385: that means that the jar file isn't properly setup to run with -jar
[17:47] <IdleOne> DaZ-: does echo require root to return output?
[17:47] <NoelJB> given that it is a SOURCE jar, that is no surprise.
[17:47] <MTecknology> FredWP_Yeeloong: don't switch in one big jump though - just have the installer compress windows and offer a dual boot
[17:47] <IdleOne> DaZ-: I mean sudo
[17:48] <edgar4385> thx
[17:48] <SmithX> Daz-, MTecknology: so basically I should always set a password for sudo? then I might as well just use "su -c" on single user system?
[17:48] <MTecknology> SmithX: you have a password for yourself - that's your password to run sudo
[17:48] <__theIdiotBox> hello everyone
[17:49] <SmithX> MTecknology: if I don't set a passwd for sudo, then anything I run as a normal user essentially has root access
[17:49] <DaZ-> IdleOne, http://wklej.org/id/138517/ this is how it looks by default
[17:50] <MTecknology> SmithX: I think you're confused......
[17:50] <MTecknology> SmithX: you don't set a password for sudo OR su
[17:50] <DaZ-> as you can see it doesn't require any password :f
[17:50] <rblst> SmithX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[17:50] <SmithX> MTecknology: I mean a root password
[17:50] <MTecknology> SmithX: you CAN set a password for the root account which by default has noen
[17:50] <stefg> MTecknology: i think someone who dismisses the thought of doing a backup before doing a potentially dangerous operation isn't definitely ready for linux .... no vendor to sue for lost files :-)
[17:50] <edgar4385> And how do I set it up to run?
[17:50] <DaZ-> by default is disabled <:
[17:50] <edgar4385> NoelJB
[17:51] <MTecknology> stefg: :P - I'm not much on backups
[17:51] <SmithX> stefg: I've been using linux for 3 years--I've never made any kind of "dumb" mistake as root
[17:51] <NoelJB> edgar4385: yes?
[17:51] <edgar4385> And how do I set it up to run?
[17:51] <dbugger> A question about "planner". Is it possible to insert a task with a starting date sooner than "today"? (I know, planning should be done before starting to work... my bad)
[17:51] <stefg> SmithX: your time will come :-)
[17:51] <NoelJB> edgar4385: ah, you probably can't, since it sounds like a SOURCE jar.
[17:52] <edgar4385> The FAQ for the files sais itś possible
[17:52] <clintonp> hi there, I have changed my network proxy and applied it system-wide. When I do a sudo apt-get install ..... it still looks for the proxy
[17:52] <MTecknology> stefg: if that was for me - it's come - many times over
[17:52] <edgar4385> with the command I've posted already
[17:52] <NoelJB>  edgar4385: I'd have to look, but off-hand, I'd suggest going back to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pauker/files/ and downloading the non-src jar.
[17:52] <jiohdi_> odder?
[17:53] <xase> ...
[17:53] <stefg> SmithX: nobody keeps you from setting up a root password and using a root account... if you're clever enough to do that, you're probably ready for it. Take it as an intelligence test: if you don't know how to enable root, you should rather not use that :-)
[17:53] <xase> How does one find the 0x000 id of his nvidia card?
[17:53] <SmithX> MTecknology, DaZ-: so is there anything wrong with my reasoning, "anything I run as normal user essentially has root access if I don't see a root password?"
[17:53] <NoelJB> xase: lspci is your friend, most likely.
[17:53] <MTecknology> SmithX: ya - that's not tru at all
[17:54] <MTecknology> SmithX: nothing has root access unless you run sudo or su
[17:54] <xase> Well I gather that, I just don't know how to get it to yield that result NoelJB
[17:54] <SmithX> MTecknology: but if the normal user can run sudo, then it's the same thing
[17:54] <grawity> SmithX: but sudo will ask for your own password to confirm.
[17:54] <MTecknology> SmithX: but you need to give it a password
[17:55] <SmithX> grawity: you said earlier the password is the user password
[17:55] <grawity> SmithX: Yeah?
[17:55] <edgar4385> it works, thanks NoelJB
[17:55] <SmithX> I'm sorry, I meant MTecknology said that
[17:55] <MTecknology> SmithX: without enabled the root account - su won't work so sudo is the only option - you have to enter your password for it to run
[17:55] <NoelJB> edgar4385: what worked?  the non-source?
[17:55] <NoelJB> good
[17:55] <edgar4385> yes
[17:56] <SmithX> MTecknology: now where back where I started--so I might as well just use "su -c"
[17:56] <xase> I'm going to gather that 0x360A is the code... and just head from there. 8200M Geforce
[17:56] <MTecknology> SmithX: you're free to do absolutely whatever you want with your system. It's yours... My bestest bestest suggestion is to trust the security experts that make these desicions...
[17:56] <xase> But I know that's a wrong number
[17:56] <MTecknology> SmithX: this system is about to lock up for ~5min and I'll take a shower so I'll need to take off
[17:57] <grawity> SmithX: You are free to use su -c if you want -- sudo is just preferred by many because it 1) doesn't require having the root password (the root account is locked), 2) allows fine-grained configuration.
[17:57] <SmithX> MTecknology: it wasn't a security expert who made the decision, it was a user interface (ease of use) decision to create sudo, as aI understand it
[17:57] <xase> 0x02e110de I'm looking to yield a number similar to this for my nvidia.
[17:57] <xase> Please help.
[17:57] <stefg> SmithX: my dumbest mistake was cleaning a /home -dir  with rm -rf  ... but forgetting that a windows partition was still mounted in a subdir there :-) .... luckily i have a working backup regime
[17:57] <burner> anyone know how to fix the cups-pdf printer?  It's supposed to go to ~/PDF, but nothing shows up there.  I've reinstalled cups-pdf and the printer shows fine, but no output
[17:57] <SmithX> stefg: I do understand the "prevent against dumb mistakes" part of it--what I'm mainly concerned with is the "security from an external point of view" part of it
[17:58] <MTecknology> SmithX: gksudo is ease of use - sudo itself offers MANY security benefits
[17:58] <grawity> SmithX: What security problems does sudo have, in your opinion?
[17:58] <MTecknology> SmithX: this conversation is going beyond the scope of this channel - #ubuntu-hardened
[17:58] <SmithX> MTecknology: cool, I'll check it out
[17:59] <werti_russian> )
[17:59] <burkmat> My DELETE key stopped working after I spilled beer all over my laptop. I know that's sort of not really in the realm of #ubuntu, but does anyone have any suggestions? ;)
[17:59] <SmithX> grawity: I'm going to try taking this to #ubuntu-hardenede
[17:59] <grawity> burkmat: Remap the Delete key elsewhere?
[17:59] <burkmat> grawity: How would I do that easily?
[17:59] <MTecknology> burkmat: laptop or other?
[17:59] <grawity> burkmat: And get another beer?
[17:59] <IdleOne> burkmat: beer and internet don't go together
[17:59] <burkmat> MTecknology: Laptop.
[18:00] <stefg> burkmat: neutralize the beer with some high voltage wodka ?
[18:00] <clintonp> burkmat: drink some more and maybe everything can get deleted
[18:00] <burkmat> grawity: dont worry, I got plenty of other beers that night, but waking up with semidead keyboard wasnt too fun =(
[18:00] <Walex> burkmat: you can wash your keyboard with water and let it dry for a week or two to make sure it is ereallt dry
[18:00] <burkmat> IdleOne: Last time I bring the laptop to the bar. :P
[18:00] <grawity> burkmat: About remapping - I have never tried that, but I think you need 'xmodmap', some Google, and a key you never use.
[18:00] <MTecknology> burkmat: turn system off - pull keyboard out (carefully) attempt to wash clean in just water, let dry fully, put back together, hope for best
[18:00] <burkmat> grawity: Alright, will look into that. Thanks.
[18:01] <stefg> burkmat: i'd map DEL to CAPS LOCK with a xmodmap :-) nobody needs CAPS LOCK anyway
[18:01] <grawity> stefg: Better map Caps to Compose

[18:09] <bptk421> anyone suggest a good ubuntu friendly scanner?
[18:10] <Walex> Meiki: repeating queries every 2 minutes is a bit excessive... Unless of course you have your Platinum 1-minute-reply account number ready.
[18:11] <gnubie> bptk421; http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html  check here
[18:11] <MTecknology> Meiki: #ubuntu-server might help more
[18:11] <NoelJB> bptk421: scanner? like zenmap?
[18:12] <NoelJB> Oh!  that kind of scanner!  I use a PSC 2200 series HP.
[18:12] <DaZ-> scanner like hp
[18:12] <bptk421> document scanner... thx I'll check the sane site
[18:12] <bptk421> Im finally making the switch from Windows and found that my cheapo canoscan isn't support
[18:12] <bptk421> ed
[18:12] <NoelJB> Yes, I highly recommend HP.  And *ONLY* HP, due to their dedicated driver support.  If someone else knows a printer/scanner vendor that gives a damn about linux, let me know.
[18:13] <NoelJB> another, other than HP, I mean.
[18:13] <bptk421> Canon certainly doesn't.

[18:14] <NoelJB> bptk421: Get an HP.  Just make sure that it is supported.  There are a couple, out of the many, very specific HP printer models that are not supported.
[18:14] <Walex> NeoBlaster: for printers Canon does excellent drivers, and so does Epson.

[18:22] <NoelJB> spursncowboys: and which version?  I have a patched 0.2.x, but I see that he has posted 0.3
[18:22] <ranieri> Nullslash, the send and recieve button does not work
[18:23] <Nullslash> ranieri ,you have reply button .
[18:23] <Nullslash> ranieri , maybe you have made it offline
[18:23] <ranieri> Nullslash, using xchat
[18:23] <rufensis> Day #3 of coming on to the ubuntu irc to try and get help.  I hope there's a vpn guru out there this morning.  I am trying to use pptp, and before and after an upgrade to jaunty I could not get network manager to even try to connect to the vpn.  The same settings work perfectly on my debian laptop.  Any have an idea?
[18:23] <stefg> hawk808: do you have the latest bios for your mobo?
[18:23] <hawk808> thanks ubottu i'll have a look
[18:24] <spursncowboys> NoelJB: 3.01
[18:24] <ranieri> Nullslash, tck?his keeps happening and not setting anything offline. How can I che
[18:24] <ranieri> check
[18:25] <Nullslash> ranieri , can you please send me a screenshot ?
[18:25] <ranieri> if I knew how.
[18:25] <charliehorse> If I point ubuntu at a drive when install to use for /home/ and the drive already has a user folder with that name on it, what will happen to the original folder?
[18:26] <LinuxGold> anyone solo IT person at work here?
[18:26] <zambaboo> hi all
[18:26] <zambaboo> installed kde in regular ubuntu
[18:26] <charliehorse> LinuxGold - I run an IT service in my spare time. I'm in HS
[18:26] <zambaboo> looking for the media devs config in amarok - no such item
[18:27] <stefg> charliehorse: depends on what you tell the installer to do... if you format it, it will be gone
[18:27] <zambaboo> halp? :)
[18:27] <Mike_lifeguard> If I mount a partition on /var/backups, what happens to any files in that directory?
[18:27] <hawk808> ubottu i'll go try, gotta go all the best
[18:27] <zambaboo> amarok?
[18:27] <NoelJB> spursncowboys: no, not of sp-auth.  I have 3.0.1 of that, too.  What version of sopcast-player?  I have a patched  0.2.1-1, and 0.3 is now available.
[18:28] <charliehorse> stefg - I was planning on setting the install to not format the drive. If my user folder is evantandersen, and  tell the new ubuntu install to use evantandersen and my home folder, will it be overwritten? or will it stay?
[18:28] <NoelJB> LinuxGold: what are you looking for?
[18:28] <LinuxGold> charliehorse: Im the same way -- K-8
[18:29] <LinuxGold> NoelJB: looking for more advices in what software I can use to ease my pressure -- I'm currently running Spiceworks
[18:29] <charliehorse> LinuxGold - I also  setup people's home theatres, install backup systems.
[18:29] <LinuxGold> 3 windows servers and 1 Ubuntu 9.04 server running Windows XP guest with Spiceworks
[18:29] <LinuxGold> charliehorse: cool!
[18:30] <charliehorse> LinuxGold - are you looking for a Virtual Machine program or a VNC program. What is spiceworks?
[18:30] <stefg> charliehorse: rather do a backup first :-) . if you tell the installer the right filesystem and choose not to format it will write to the /home/[userame] folder that you give to the installer. so better use a different username
[18:31] <NoelJB> LinuxGold: ah ... what features do you need?  SNMP monitoring?  MRTG type behavior or NAGIOS type behavior?
[18:31] <NoelJB> And what do you like/not like about spiceworks?
[18:31] <bobsomebody> hello #ubuntu
[18:31] <LinuxGold> charliehorse: It is awesome network scanner that finds workstations, printers, what software was installed and all that.  It also have IT help-desk that creates  a ticket and attach to device on what problem it has
[18:31] <bobsomebody> i just set up server 8.04 and i cant seem to find the php6 package
[18:31] <mythomaniac> LinuxGold, if vnc go with freenx
[18:31] <LinuxGold> NoelJB: I already got Cacti on Ubuntu server. --
[18:31] <LinuxGold> mythomaniac: I am running Virtualbox
[18:31] <bobsomebody> is there one? or do i need to manual instal
[18:32] <LinuxGold> do freenx run vm at bootup?
[18:32] <bobsomebody> i also cant seem to find the nslookup package
[18:32] <stefg> !find php6 hardy | bobsomebody
[18:32] <LinuxGold> I had to manually start virtualbox when ubuntu reboots
[18:32] <bobsomebody> :(
[18:32] <bobsomebody> !find nslookup hardy | bobsomebody
[18:32] <mythomaniac> LinuxGold, ssh is your friend ;)
[18:32] <charliehorse>  stefg - thanks for the help - I currently have a full install of ubuntu 9.04 on my 1 TB Hd. I just bought I 30 GB ssd, and I want to move my "/" dir to the SSD while keeping my 300 GB user folder on my 1 TB. Is there an easy way to do this? my biggest external drive is onle 120Gb, so backup is hard.
[18:33] <LinuxGold> mythomaniac: got 'em too :)
[18:33] <NoelJB> LinuxGold: if you're happy with Spiceworks, what's the issue?
[18:33] <charliehorse> LinuxGold - my tech support is more local - I get a phone call.... go to house, fix computer, make $$
[18:33] <LinuxGold> NoelJB: I'm trying to fix network -- network-map on spiceworks isn't that great -- my school budget wouldn't allow me to buy professional network mapper
[18:34] <Walex> charliehorse: what's the problem? Just copy the / partition or the relevant subtrees to the SSD and boot from that instead.
[18:34] <Walex> LinuxGold: OpenNMS? Nagios?
[18:34] <LinuxGold> NoelJB: I do not have time to do console thingie
[18:34] <charliehorse> Walex That would work? Okay. What dir should I not copy. I assume /mnt and /tmp. Anything else
[18:34] <bobsomebody> stefg, i take it the only way for php6 is a manual build?
[18:34] <LinuxGold> Walex: I'll check Nagios out
[18:35] <ipauldev> Hello, I have an odd issue I'm wondering if someone could shed some light on, I'm out of ideas. I run Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. apt-get is painfully slow when downloading large files. It starts out fast (8MB/sec) and goes down to under 25B/sec.
[18:35] <Walex> LinuxGold: Nagios has manual config, but there are a numver of network discovery frontends.
[18:35] <LinuxGold> Walex: got any frontends that you recommendthe most?
[18:36] <ipauldev> I've tried using apt-mirror to make my own local repo, it starts out downloading fast, but that too, starts to be Bytes/second if I "du" the directory and watch the size.
[18:36] <Walex> LinuxGold: I configure it manually. There are some important Nagios features that the frontends don't do a good job with. uBut one can do a scan first and then fix.
[18:36] <stefg> charliehorse: that's doable ... but it's best done from a Live CD environment. Do you want to reinstall? Actually that's not necessary
[18:36] <stefg> bobsomebody: semms so
[18:36] <ipauldev> I've used multiple mirrors with the same issue
[18:36] <LinuxGold> Walex: ok thanks for the advice
[18:36] <bobsomebody> oh well, thanks for the info
[18:36] <NoelJB> LinuxGold: See also www.icinga.org/.  NAGIOS is forking.  ICINGA is the community, NAGIOS is the one-man band.
[18:37] <jack__> hi
[18:37] <charliehorse> stefg I'm in the LiveCD right now.... I've formatted the SSD with proper alignment for highspeeds. I can just copy the / folder over?
[18:37] <Walex> LinuxGold: some people also like Zenoss and Zabbix.
[18:37] <LinuxGold> NoelJB: Walex thanks
[18:38] <jack__> i am new
[18:38] <stefg> charliehorse: first run 'sudo blkid' and put that to pastebin ... you'll need it :-)
[18:38] <stefg> charliehorse: and 'sudo fdisk -l' on pastebin wouldn't hurt either
[18:38] <kuker> siemas
[18:39] <andli_> trying to get sound working.... for some hours.. with one of two soundcards available.
[18:39] <kuker> ist hier jemant
[18:39] <stefg> !de | kuker
[18:39] <kuker> !de
[18:39] <stefg> kuker : /j #ubuntu-de
[18:39] <kuker> ja ich bin aus de
[18:39] <NoelJB> andii: which version of ubuntu?
[18:39] <Bubs> geh heim deutscher :P
[18:40] <stefg> Bubs: no racist jokes, read !coc :-)
[18:40] <Bubs> how was that racist?
[18:41] <Seeker> quit
[18:41] <charliehorse> stefg: Okay  I ran fdisk and blkid. Why do I need that information?
[18:41] <jack__> register jack123
[18:41] <andli_> NoelJB: Ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope
[18:41] <stefg> charliehorse:  put that up on pastebin and post the links in here
[18:42] <jatt> any leafnode users (jaunty)?
[18:42] <stefg> charliehorse: you'l have to adjust /etc/fstab and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and /boot/grub/menu.lstl
[18:42] <LinuxGold> icinga looks promising
[18:42] <ipauldev> I run Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. apt-get is painfully slow when downloading large files. It starts out fast (8MB/sec) and goes down to under 25B/sec. I've tried using apt-mirror to make my own local repo, it starts out downloading fast, but that too, starts to be Bytes/second if I "du" the directory and watch the size. I've used multiple mirrors with the same issue.
[18:43] <LinuxGold> I'll try that one out
[18:43] <NoelJB> andii_: ah ... I'm playing with karmic at the moment, but I seem to recall that with Jaunty, I also had to use alsamixer to get things working properly.
[18:43] <charliehorse> stefg: okay well, I have to reboot. fdisk show me that my SSD in unplugged. Checked my case, sata power came loose!!!! GRR. Anyways. - BRB
[18:43] <WholeGrains> Hi, trying to get OpenSSH working properly. http://pastebin.com/d149eb9da - #openssh is a little dead
[18:43] <NoelJB> I know that I do with karmic, because it keeps messing up audio settings.
[18:43] <stefg> charliehorse: better now than later :-)
[18:43] <scizzo-> WholeGrains: please provide a little more info then that
[18:44] <NoelJB> WholeGrains: what's the problem?  usually works out of box.
[18:44] <andli_> NoelJB: yeah, alsamixer is the usual stuff one tries to get audio working
[18:45] <WholeGrains> NoelJB: I want to use key authentication, it's not working and I don't know how to fix it
[18:45] <LinuxGold> NoelJB: check this out: http://blog.fupps.com/2009/05/11/naguino-an-arduino-based-lcd-monitor-for-nagios-and-icinga/
[18:45] <grawity> WholeGrains: How did you set it up?
[18:46] <WholeGrains> grawity: I explain it here http://pastebin.com/d149eb9da
[18:46] <NoelJB> WholeGrains: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=key+authentication+ssh&aq=0&aqi=g3&fp=c9fe100d9e542c1e
[18:47] <NoelJB> WholeGrains: if you look at the server logs, does it say anything helpful?
[18:47] <grawity> !google | NoelJB
[18:47] <beer_> hey guys, I urgently need some help. I got a new HD last week and set up 3 partitions: one for windows, one for ubuntu, and one for storage.  i installed windows, installed ubuntu, everythign was fine.  after tinkering with Ubu for a while, I realized I didn't really care much for it and decided to delete the partition and add that unallocated space to my windows partition.  now i cant boot into windows.. grub error 17
[18:47] <beer_> any ideas?
[18:47] <arooni> suggestions for utilities to burn cds => mp3s for ubuntu jaunty?
[18:47] <NoelJB> grawity: they need to learn sometime :-)
[18:47] <WholeGrains> NoelJB: the log @ /var/log/auth.log?
[18:48] <rojoloco47> hi all
[18:48] <rojoloco47> its me rojo
[18:48] <beer_> i somehow just need to get rid of grub entirely and get my system thinking windows is my only OS again
[18:48] <grawity> WholeGrains: Does ssh -v list any messages?
[18:48] <NoelJB> beer_: since you are going away from linux entirely, you can run the windows install disk to repair the MBR.
[18:48] <rojoloco47> I just started to use ubuntu
[18:48] <rojoloco47> I am totally new to this OS
[18:48] <Chun> wonder if anyone can help: my 'add/remove programs' menu item has disappeared - not sure how to re-enable it. gnome-app-install is still installed, it's just the menu option which is gone
[18:48] <Laserbeak431> hello, i'm trying to learn to write C++ for linux. So i got an audio library called Faust. It uses alsa-gtk. what do i have to install in synaptic to get started developing? i searched gtk, but so many different packages are available
[18:48] <beer_> NoelJB: You think repair should work?
[18:48] <rojoloco47> hope fully I will learn too much from you guys
[18:48] <grawity> beer_: Do you have the Windows install CD? If yes, boot from it, go to recovery console, and use 'fixmbr' command.
[18:48] <stefg> beer_: you need to reinstall the windows mbr instead of grub. this is done by booting the windows install cd, getting recovery console and run fixmbr.
[18:48] <grawity> beer_: Is it XP or Vista?
[18:48] <LinuxGold> rojoloco47: you will, indeed!
[18:48] <beer_> Vista
[18:49] <rojoloco47> Thank you LinuxGold  :)
[18:49] <grawity> beer_: XP: fixmbr, fixboot. Vista: bootrec /fixmbr
[18:49] <odder> Chun: try alacarte
[18:49] <WholeGrains> grawity: -v does nothing
[18:49] <beer_> thank you so much
[18:49] <grawity> WholeGrains: ssh -v user@host
[18:49] <andli_> NoelJB: how do you usually test your sound?
[18:49] <rojoloco47> I need to learn some basic things first ,Can somebody do so ? :)
[18:49] <NoelJB> andii_: play movies or use Skype :-)
[18:49] <LinuxGold> rojoloco47: secretly I am STILL learning even today since 1995 :)
[18:49] <jac_> May I intrude? I have installed xampp on ubuntu 9.04 which appears to run fine, but when I installed Joomla, I get an error about php setup saying that php configuration file is non-executable. Since it is own by root, how would I change that root file to be an executable?
[18:50] <andli_> NoelJB: oki, what about the system / administration / sound utility?
[18:50] <andli_> NoelJB: system / settings / sound, I mean
[18:50] <rojoloco47> wow since 1995 ,Thats too great you will be the master then :D
[18:50] <andli_> I had a beep running there, but no sound from playing mp3s from command line, or movies in web browser
[18:50] <NoelJB> andii: I've been able to use alsamixer and the volume control for the most part.
[18:51] <LinuxGold> rojoloco47: I'm Technology coordinator right now
[18:51] <Chun> odder: any idea how to create a launcher at the root of the menu? all I can do is create sub-menus
[18:51] <andli_> NoelJB: ok, thanks
[18:51] <rojoloco47> First tell me how your colour is red ? Can mine color be red too ?
[18:51] <LinuxGold> eh?
[18:51]  * Dayofswords likes the color blue
[18:51] <grawity> rojoloco47: It only displays messages in red when they start with your nick, I think.
[18:51] <jac_> of course it can be rojo ;-)
[18:52]  * NoelJB likes multi-colored coats and bikesheds.
[18:52] <Chun> odder: scratch that, got it. thanks a lot!
[18:52] <rojoloco47> grawity:  Owh ok tell me if my color is red now
[18:52]  * jac_ likes red bikinis
[18:52] <NoelJB> rojoloco47: this should be red.
[18:52] <rojoloco47> Was it red now ? :D
[18:52]  * IdleOne thinks that /me is unneeded scroll in #ubuntu
[18:53] <rojoloco47> yes NoelJB  its red ,Now I understand thanks :)
[18:53] <rojoloco47> Xchat is better than MIRC :D
[18:53] <NoelJB> rojoloco47: it certainly is.  especially since you can filter out the unwanted and useless join/exit messages.
[18:53] <rojoloco47> and when some body will join or leave its color will be green ??
[18:53]  * LinuxGold is using irssi
[18:54] <rojoloco47> NoelJB,  How to do so ?
[18:54] <IdleOne> NoelJB: you can do that in mirc also
[18:54] <grawity> IdleOne: bot not per-channel
[18:54] <grawity> IdleOne: but*
[18:54] <rojoloco47> LinuxGold is using irsii ? what does this mean ?
[18:54] <LinuxGold> irssi is console-based irc client
[18:54] <WholeGrains1> grawity: sorry for the delay http://pastebin.org/11172
[18:54] <NoelJB> IdleOne: yeah, but not in pidgin or empathy (which really sucks, IMO), and I haven't gotten around to installing xchat into Karmic.
[18:54] <coldReactive421> Does anyone know why Ubuntu reported a 10% loss in battery power overnight? =/
[18:54] <ahmetalpb> Hello everybody. I'm working on a remote controller script. I need a volunteer living in USA.
[18:55] <grawity> NoelJB: Pidgin and Empathy were not designed for IRC.  So i got an audio library called Faust. It uses alsa-gtk. what do i have to install in synaptic to get started developing? i searched gtk, but so many different packages are available
[18:55] <wrapster> I had a .deb pkg from which i did not want a few files... So i deleted those files after extracting the pkg.. Now what is the procedure to recreate the .deb pkg?
[18:55] <rojoloco47> Please when somebody will say me something ,Use my name in start as you bros said it will be red text then :)
[18:55] <wrapster> If its possible Id like to know how?
[18:55] <NoelJB> grawity: pidgin does?  I'll have to look.  But right now Pidgin on Karmic is unusable due to Bug 417041.
[18:56] <grawity> See Plugins.
[18:56] <rojoloco47> I cant read too many msgs and find one for me ,So If you do type something for me ,let me know :D
[18:56] <grawity> er, NoelJB: ^
[18:56] <Linuxirc> grawity: what type of bug for pidgin ?
[18:56] <NoelJB> grawity: thanks.  I saw.
[18:56] <LinuxGold> Solaris download is alost complete
[18:56] <Linuxirc> grawity: pidgin is unusable!
[18:56] <grawity> rojoloco47: Messages to you are displayed in red :)
[18:57] <grawity> Linuxirc: And why are you complaining to me?
[18:57] <NoelJB> Linuxirc: I was specific.  I'm seeing terrible keyboard freezes with pidgin and firefox on karmic.  not with empathy (so far).  Tempted to install xchat to further isolate the behavior.
[18:57] <Linuxirc> grawity: i'm not complaining.
[18:58] <rojoloco47> yes grawity thank you :)

[19:06] <rojoloco47> IdleOne, thanks
[19:06] <rojoloco47> ubottu, thanks
[19:06] <rojoloco47> I try this now
[19:06] <LinuxGold> brb as I reboot with new kernel
[19:07] <rojoloco47> ubottu,  you are bot ? your mean robot ?
[19:07] <IdleOne> rojoloco47: yes
[19:07] <dev24670> i am attempting to install jdk-6u16-nb-6_7_1-linux-ml.sh but i keep getting cant find bin
[19:07] <NoelJB> ahmetalpb: so let me get this straight ... you want someone in the USA to let you take over their computer?
[19:07] <itswhatev> i tried gizmo & empathy as my im client.. i guess when empathy matures to the point that it's a viable replacement for pidgin i'll use that.
[19:07] <rojoloco47> But how he know that I have asked about some IM ? @ IdleOne
[19:07] <itswhatev> hm?
[19:08] <ahmetalpb> NoelJB: No, I'm trying out a SMS2WEB application.
[19:08] <IdleOne> rojoloco47:  when I did !pidgin | rojoloco47  I told ubottu  to tell you about pidgin.
[19:08] <ahmetalpb> NoelJB: FFEED 8267941 TEST MESSAGE   <---- can you send this to 88147 in USA
[19:08] <NoelJB> not at the moment, sorry.
[19:08] <odder> don't think I'm a racist, but your nickname ahmet seems to be scary when talking about taking over a computer...
[19:09] <rojoloco47> IdleOne, how can I tell a bot that what to say ? :D
[19:09] <IdleOne> ahmetalpb: please dont ask people to sms in here

[19:12] <djalmafilho> Hi, someone could help me about why the notify-send on Ubuntu 9.04 don't make queue of notifys?
[19:13] <rojoloco47> how to start private chat in here ?
[19:13] <asg> rojoloco47: /msg <nick> message
[19:13] <unop> djalmafilho, it could be because priority messages would be held in the queue - and that way, they're not helpful.  just a guess.
[19:14] <rojoloco47> asg, and if I want to start chat instead of just sending private msg then what should I do ?
[19:14] <asg> rojoloco47: for most irc clients, sending a private msg will also initiate a window where you can continue to chat one-on-one
[19:15] <djalmafilho> if I try "notify-send a b " many times it's show one by one
[19:16] <Raydiation> could it be that samba has problems lately?
[19:16] <Raydiation> i cant find my network shares anymore
[19:16] <asg> djalmafilho: that is how it was designed I'm afraid.
[19:16] <NoelJB> djalmafilho, are you using jaunty or karmic?
[19:16] <rojoloco47> asg, can I try for a minute with your ID ?
[19:16] <asg> rojoloco47: sure
