[18:57] <SuperQ> bmcfee: so my basic setup is: 1G md0 RAID1 for /
[18:57] <Murlis> soundray: yes, I saw that bug, there were no solution to that
[18:57] <batsquid> Miyavix3 you are on internet now, why not burn a cd-rom with ubuntu and install?
[18:57] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: its states an api mismatch, the kernel and something doesnt have the same version... you want be to paste it?
[18:58] <SuperQ> bmcfee: then I do another RAID10 or RAID5 for a large LVM partition for the rest of my data
[18:58] <SuperQ> bmcfee: depending on the system
[18:58] <soundray> Murlis: it claims it's solved in OOo 2.3
[18:58] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: ohhhh.. yea
[18:58] <mizipzor_> is there a way to, in irssi, to run a shell command and autopaste the output in here?
[18:58] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) | grep nvidia
[18:59] <Murlis> soundray: what is the text I have to add? please specify
[18:59] <Cyste> bjour
[18:59] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: There will be several files, and you will need to figure out which one belonds to the the correct nvidia driver
[18:59] <bmcfee> SuperQ: i've got two .5T disks here, i was just going to raid-1 the whole thing (partitioned accordingly).  how different is the install procedure from the fakeraid case?
[18:59] <blubbi> hi all, wich package manager can you recommend for kubuntu?
[18:59] <Suicidal_Failure> mizipzor_: but dont paste in here, use the paste url
[18:59] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: the issue is Ubuntu adds some magic to the module loader to pick nvidia-new.ko instead of nvidia.ko
[18:59] <soundray> Murlis: you can add a new line to /etc/environment  like 'LC_NUMERIC=en_EN.utf-8'
[18:59] <bmcfee> Gnea: you're gonna make me register with nickserv to message you?  lame. :)
[18:59] <SuperQ> bmcfee: I'm not sure exactly
[18:59] <Murlis> soundray: I have 2.4.1
[19:00] <mizipzor_> Suicidal_Failure: thats what im trying to do, i want to paste something using pastebinit and then have the link show up here (im in console now)
[19:00] <[3][Finity]> Does anybody have any experience with fixing the sound bug with 80:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA High Definition Audio Controller (rev 10)?
[19:00] <SuperQ> bmcfee: Basically I would just create 2 big partitions on the drives and mirror those
[19:00] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: yea, that command listed several files... what should i do with them?
[19:00] <SuperQ> bmcfee: and build them with the alternate installer
[19:00] <Lifeisfunny> My server list in XChat disappeared and would like to get them back.
[19:00] <Murlis> soundray: oki, I will try. reboot necesery?
[19:00] <bmcfee> SuperQ: well, do i have to do anything crazy to the boot order to make it work?
[19:00] <cbk486> Hello, I am trying to download the broadcom b43 wireless driver for my dell latitude d630. It was detected in the live cd in the restricted hardware driver utility, but not on my installation. I am using a spare usb wifi device to connect to the Internet on my installation as we speak. How do I download the drivers?
[19:00] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: nope
[19:00] <soundray> Murlis: yes
[19:00] <SuperQ> erm..
[19:01] <SuperQ> bmcfee: not really
[19:01] <mizipzor_> is there a way to, in irssi, to run a shell command and autopaste the output in here?
[19:01] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: hold on a sec
[19:01] <Suicidal_Failure> damn it to hell, got to get up for work
[19:01] <FloodBot1> SuperQ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:01] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: sure thing
[19:01] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: No, please use pastebin
[19:01] <batsquid> when running a memoyr test (Memtest86) and it takes forever, does it ever stop or should i just be happy with /one/ pass (took about 15-20 minutes, ran a lot of different tests, but keeps going on a new pass)
[19:01] <Miyavix3> Ok back. Seeing as how I hate my life I can't find another ethernet cord
[19:01] <SuperQ> Haha, I type too fast for FloodBot
[19:01] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: havent anyone heard of pastebinit? :p ill do like ls / |pastebinit ... and it outputs an url, that is what i want to show up here
[19:02] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[19:02] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: the program is cool, you should check it if you didnt know about it
[19:02] <Murlis> soundray: thanks, I will reboot and lets see ;)
[19:02] <Miyavix3> So, I'm going to disconnect from here to use internet on my laptop
[19:02] <Miyavix3> And I'll tell you the results

[19:02] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: anyway.. so what you want to do is look at your dmesg, "dmesg | grep NVIDIA"
[19:02] <Suicidal_Failure> batsquid: it will go as long as its left to run, overnight is a very thorough test in my lax standards
[19:03] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: that will tell you what module version you have loaded.. mine looks like this: [  129.448485] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module  169.12  Thu Feb 14 17:53:07 PST 2008
[19:03] <fiveguysonecup> i cant get my wifi card to connect to anything in ubuntu
[19:03] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: it says that module license nvidia taints kernel
[19:04] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: Yea, ignore that, it's just whining by the kernel developers
[19:04] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: They don't like nvidia's kernel module
[19:04] <Suicidal_Failure> oh the shame, a tainted kernel at his age
[19:04] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: i can tell :p since i got it, nothing works
[19:04] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: nothing graphical that is
[19:04] <grunge> hello
[19:05] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: so what version does Xorg want, and what version does the kernel have?
[19:05] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: but other than that, no output
[19:05] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: that might help figure this out
[19:05] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: hmm.. dunno, how to check?
[19:05] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: well, the error in Xorg.0.log
[19:07] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: hmm, the error doesnt state any error versions
[19:08] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: ok, do these two commands then: 'dmesg | grep NVIDIA'
[19:09] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: 'grep "NVIDIA GLX Module" /var/log/Xorg.0.log'
[19:09] <lnostdal> hey guys ..   all "unlock" buttons are locked .. what's up with that? .. heh x)
[19:09] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: that should get us the two versions that are miss-matched
[19:09] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: the former command just complains about license taint
[19:09] <lnostdal> ..and "(network-admin:15471): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '15471'" at the console btw.
[19:10] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: Oh, run lsmod | grep nvidia
[19:10] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: see if it's loaded
[19:10] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: 169.12
[19:11] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: last command lists nvidia and agpgart
[19:11] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: ok, 169.12 is the base version that comes with 8.04
[19:12] <HomeUbuntuUser> anyone know is the "Creative Live Cam Video IM Pro", Vendor=041e ProdID=4055, still unsupported by (Ubuntu)linux?
[19:12] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: ok
[19:12] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: rmmod nvidia ; modprobe nvidia
[19:12] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: then dmesg | tail and see what it says
[19:12] <Murlis> soundray: I rebooted but it still wasnt workin but I changed the locale in OO so its solved now :)
[19:13] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: now we got some errors and numbers here :)
[19:13] <Murlis> soundray: thanks for your support! :) CU!
[19:14] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: http://pastebin.com/f6037b02b

[19:16] <Derander> I fried my old motherboard (nvidia 650i), went out and bought another one (p45.)  Ubuntu doesn't boot, windows does - is there I way I can get install drivers onto Ubuntu?  (no hardware has changed, just the mobo)
[19:16] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: oh, wait, I think it should work now
[19:17] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: oh? startx or kdm restart?
[19:17] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: kdm restart
[19:17] <dusty__> Hi - What is a good app for playing a music cd in the cd-rom?
[19:17] <dz__> @derander: are the two OS's installed on the same Hard drive?
[19:17] <baske> anyone knows how to enable .11 n mode for a wireless nic using the iwl4965 module?
[19:17] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: the rmmod nvidia removed the non-ubuntu module
[19:18] <Derander> dz___: No, hardy is on a seperate harddrive from vista.
[19:18] <Derander> dz___ although I have gusty on the vista one also
[19:18] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: hmm, nope, just get a black screen
[19:18] <SuperQ> blargh!
[19:18] <dusty__> Anyone recommend a good program for playing a music cd ? ? ?
[19:19] <SuperQ> dusty__: just put the CD in, it should auto-play
[19:19] <dz__> @derander: have you tried messing with your boot sequence in your motherboard's BIOS settings?
[19:19] <Derander> dz__, when I say it doesn't boot, I mean I select it in GRUB, it starts, flashes 'BIOS BUG DETECTED" then does the little orange back and forth bar forever
[19:19] <Miyavix31> Hey guys, I tried to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  but it can't get it
[19:19] <Miyavix31> Any suggestions?
[19:19] <dz__> Oh i see
[19:19] <dz__> sorry
[19:19] <SuperQ> dusty__: I don't even bother playing CDs anymore, I just use the exractor to make mp3 files
[19:19] <SuperQ> extractor
[19:19] <Derander> dz__, No problem, I think I'll probably just reinstall hardy
[19:19] <Derander> dz__, just a lot of apt-getting :-(
[19:19] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: http://pastebin.com/f15c14c9b dmesg paste
[19:20] <dz__> derander: agreed, though luckily the initial install is what, 20 minutes? :P
[19:20] <dusty__> SuperQ: Thx - haven't even tried it yet - thought i might need something else. Will check out the extracter app as well. thx
[19:20] <Derander> dz__, right, but I'm a compulsize tweaker.. so many programs to download/compile again :-P
[19:20] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: Yea, it _should_ work now.  what about the files in /lib/modules?
[19:20] <Miyavix31> hey guys, remember me? I accidentally started uninstalling ubuntu?
[19:20] <dz__> derander: heh, i hear ya. :)
[19:20] <Miyavix31> I don't hyave a desktop anymore, so I'm trying to reinstall it
[19:21] <Flannel> Miyavix31: What did you do to uninstall?
[19:21] <SuperQ> dusty__: Yea, Applications -> Sound & Video -> Audio CD Extractor
[19:21] <Miyavix31> Uh
[19:21] <Miyavix31> I entered remove python2.4-minimal
[19:21] <Miyavix31> Bad idea
[19:21] <Flannel> Miyavix31: Alright, so, to get it back: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:21] <dusty__> SuperQ: Ok - i found it - it installed by default. Thx
[19:22] <becky> wjat
[19:22] <Miyavix31> so now I'm just trying to get my desktop back
[19:22] <SuperQ> dusty__: You will need to install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package with synaptic to get mp3 support I think
[19:22] <Miyavix31> But!
[19:22] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: in /lib/modules there are a bunch of folders, sorted by versions, probably my installed kernels or something
[19:22] <becky> what's the ubuntu intrepid channel?
[19:22] <Flannel> becky: #ubuntu+1
[19:22] <Miyavix31> I can't connect
[19:22] <Miyavix31> I'm using wired connection
[19:22] <becky> thx Flannel
[19:22] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: Right, run this command: "find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) | grep nvidia"
[19:22] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: we need to clean out the broken module
[19:23] <Flannel> Miyavix31: python shouldn't have touched networking.
[19:23] <juro> how can I switch audio output devices as easily as possible in 8.04?
[19:23] <Flannel> Miyavix31: Are you using dhcp or static?

[19:23] <Miyavix31> Um, I beleve static
[19:23] <Miyavix31> Let me check
[19:24] <Miyavix31> What should it be on?
[19:24] <Slart> juro: using pulseaudio it's very easy
[19:24] <juro> Slart, hi! is that in the repo?
[19:24] <dusty__> SuperQ: I actually used the Kiwi2008 instyall - which is is the default ubuntu hardyheron install but already has all the flash, etc codecs all ready installed - it's actually very nice distro - looks exactly like stock hardyheron except comes with all codes.
[19:24] <dusty__> install
[19:25] <Flannel> Miyavix31: It doesn't really matter.  Just make sure you have it set up in /etc/network/interfaces
[19:25] <Miyavix31> no it's DHCP
[19:25] <ThreeFinity> My system has 2 sound cards, VIA HDA VT82xx, and an old SB Live that I just installed. How do I make my computer use the SB Live for sound instead of the VT82 ?

[19:25] <frybye> what video caputre appl do you people recommend - cheese- does not work here for some reason...?
[19:25] <Miyavix31> How?
[19:25] <dusty__> SuperQ: thx for your help.
[19:25] <SuperQ> dusty__: no prob
[19:25] <Flannel> Miyavix31: nano /etc/network/interfaces, or if you're planning on editing it: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[19:26] <ThreeFinity> Anybody know how to change the default sound card used in 8.04 ?
[19:26] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: what nvidia card do you have btw?

[19:39] <datacrusher> i need to install samba 3.2 on my hardy ubunto server, but iv downloaded and dont know how to use the.tar to install it. iv stepet through PREVU, that says i can preview some packages from newer versions. how do u use prevu to get samba intrepid version wich its 3.2?
[19:39] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: ok, done
[19:39] <markelhas> \slayton i'm using the livecd right now
[19:39] <markelhas> \Gnea VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7050/nForce 610i (rev a2)
[19:39] <DocMabuse> i can configuration in ubunte the driver ?
[19:39] <larbuntu> hey I got this problem that's really weird, when I click on places in the menu and choose 'home it opens totem Player. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[19:39] <Plouj> what's the difference between xserver-xorg-video-{via,openchrome,unichrome}?
[19:39] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: ok.. here's the trick
[19:39] <DocMabuse> there was a menue?
[19:39] <SamOrpheus> hi i installed ubuntu a few min. but i cannot introduced broadcom wireless 4313 card.. :( how can i resolve my problem ?
[19:39] <slayton> markelhas, right but the liveCD doesn't have the nvidia drivers... you must install Ubuntu to use the drivers
[19:39]  * mizipzor_ listens
[19:39] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: there is a pre-module load command: /sbin/
[19:39] <Gnea> markelhas: you'll need to get the system installed, then you can install the restricted nvidia driver to take full advantage of it
[19:40] <markelhas> \slayton i'm using the livecd right now, so after the install all the drivers willl be available?
[19:40] <slayton> markelhas, YES!
[19:40] <markelhas> OK
[19:40] <markelhas> sorry about this
[19:40] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: /sbin/lrm-video contains some code to figure out if new or legacy is installed
[19:40] <slayton> markelhas, Ubuntu will automatically find the correct drive for you... all you have to do is enable it!
[19:40] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: you need to rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia*
[19:40] <Gnea> markelhas: not a problem :)
[19:40] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: will do
[19:40] <redrebel> any of you use preload?
[19:40] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: so it will load the nvidia binary driver and not the ubuntu packaged version
[19:40] <markelhas> \slayton hope so, going to install it
[19:41] <markelhas> \Gnea thnks
[19:41] <slayton> markelhas, don't worry it'll work
[19:41] <markelhas> \slayton thnks
[19:41] <Kopfgeldjaeger> amenado: sudo iptables-save > file and sudo iptables-restore < file would have worked
[19:41] <SamOrpheus> i installed ubuntu a few min. but i cannot introduced broadcom wireless 4313 card.. :( how can i resolve my problem ?
[19:41] <markelhas> going to install it
[19:41] <dabb1> is there any way so that the mounted samba folders will unmount automatically
[19:41] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: hmm, i seems to be missing the linux-restricted folder
[19:41] <markelhas> bye
[19:41] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: rmmod nvidia, and then re-run the nvidia setup program
[19:41] <ganymede> why are there start up items for both gdm and xserver-xorg? wouldn't gdm spawn an X server for itself? can i disable xserver-xorg and still get a graphical welcome screen?
[19:41] <Kopfgeldjaeger> SamOrpheus: Did you look at the restricted manager?
[19:41] <Legendario> SuperQ, the problem is probably that i just can't connect both togueter
[19:42] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: oh, did you remove all the restricted module packages?
[19:42] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: yep, closest i got is /lib/linux-sound-base/
[19:42] <SamOrpheus> Kopfgeldjaeger : yep i did it..
[19:42] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: did you remove linux-restricted-modules-common package?
[19:42] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: hmm... i dunno, just ran the commands you told me to, dont understand all that much of this
[19:42] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: hehe, no problem
[19:42] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: no, not that i recall
[19:42] <Kopfgeldjaeger> SamOrpheus: and what does not work? Does networkmanager just not show networks?
[19:43] <patrik> How can I change the default number of threads for decoding/encoding with mencoder? So that programs that use it (like devede) uses more than one cpu!
[19:43] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: hrm, it probably got removed when you removed the nvidia common
[19:43] <evilbug> how would one auto-identify when running "sudo"?
[19:43] <SamOrpheus> Kopfgeldjaeger: i cannot scan list, and i cannot iwconfig ? iwlist scan etc..
[19:43] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: either way, it should work if you re-run the nvidia installer now
[19:43] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: yea, i ran it with the --purge option
[19:43] <Flannel> evilbug: Why do you want to do that?
[19:43] <Kopfgeldjaeger> SamOrpheus: so you dont have a wlan0 interface?!
[19:43] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: ok, should i run rmmod nvidia first?
[19:43] <SamOrpheus> Kopfgeldjaeger: yes
[19:43] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: yea, that's fine
[19:43] <dabb1> is there any way so that the mounted samba folders will unmount automatically?
[19:43] <SuperQ> Legendario: ok?
[19:43] <SamOrpheus> Kopfgeldjaeger : now i loging in eth0
[19:44] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: reboot before running nvidia install program?
[19:44] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: nah
[19:44] <Kopfgeldjaeger> SamOrpheus: please paste "dmesg | grep 43"
[19:44] <SamOrpheus> oki
[19:44] <justin_> what is going on here. I changed the permission of a folder with this command "sudo chmod -R 777 Music" and i was able to write to the files. I downloaded some more songs and was unable to edit the files. So i did the same command "sudo chmod -R 777 Music" and i get this feedback chmod: changing permissions of `Music': Read-only file system
[19:44] <justin_> how can i fix this
[19:44] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: ok, reinstalling the nvidia driver
[19:44] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: btw, could i have got the wrong one from the site?
[19:44] <evilbug> Flannel- i want to run a [counter-strike] server startup script that requires "sudo" and i don't want to enter it every time. besides, nobody has access to linux but me so i'm not worried about security.
[19:44] <slayton> justin_, what is the filesystem on which the files are written?
[19:44] <Legendario> SuperQ, i am here.
[19:45] <slayton> justin_, if the files aren't on a ext3 system then permissions don't matter, are you saving to a fat32 disk?
[19:45] <mizipzor_> SuperQ: i got: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run
[19:45] <Flannel> evilbug: Nah, you don't need sudo for that.  Stuff that runs when you boot gets handled a little differently
[19:45] <Flannel> !bum | evilbug
[19:45] <evilbug> Flannel- or some kind of command that tells it to enter it the password i type in the script.
[19:45] <justin_> slayton, no, its on the linux file systems

[19:50] <klabcorp> can someone help me out setting up RAID straight from the install?
[19:50] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: I dunno, I would really have to interact with the system to see the errors as they happen
[19:50] <ramoanlee> I'm so happy I'm almost crying right now.
[19:50] <SuperQ> mizipzor_: kinda hard to debug over IRC :(

[20:08] <Legendario> SuperQ, i guess i need to set them to ipv4ll on network manager, right? that's what i did, because some told me before to set static ip
[20:08] <excid3> becky, you might try compiling the driver yourself

[20:10] <Slart> daemon3: gimp can open pdf's.. or rather make an image of a pdf..
[20:10] <Pirate_Hunter> afeijo: i think the reason you didnt get a response is because you havent explained your problem and what your trying to do in details - ps: just saying my file got -rwxr-xr-x perms is not enough
[20:10] <afeijo> which
[20:10] <Legendario> well, i tried that, but it didn't work. can u guide me?
[20:10] <wolson> hello all
[20:10] <sk33t0r> hi wolson
[20:10] <afeijo> Pirate_Hunter: it was a comment about my perms, not a question anymore :)
[20:10] <wolson> what is the default root password for ubuntu?
[20:10] <dabb1>  afeijo:normal condition ,like the moment i close that folder
[20:10] <Slart> !root | wolson
[20:10] <Flannel> wolson: There is none, the root account is locked.  Use sudo instead.
[20:10] <sk33t0r> wolson you need to set a passsword for root
[20:11] <wng-> say I have a list of packages in a file, and want to remove all other packages from my system, any easy way I can automate that?
[20:11] <sk33t0r> you can make a password for root
[20:11] <sk33t0r> I forgot what the command is
[20:11] <ShackJack> daemon3: There's also a PDF editor in add/remove programs...
[20:11] <sk33t0r> google it
[20:11] <Slart> sk33t0r, wolson: ubuntu is designed to use sudo.. leave the root password locked
[20:11] <daemon3> Yup.  I know.
[20:11] <daemon3> Yup.  I know.
[20:11] <wolson> passwd root
[20:11] <wolson> bbl
[20:11] <armandocer> sudo passwd root
[20:11] <Flannel> armandocer: No reason to mention that.
[20:11] <sk33t0r> can anyone helps me with my issue?
[20:11] <Pirate_Hunter> Slart: i bet everyone goes through that "wondering what is the root pass" good ole memories
[20:11] <afeijo> ubottu: you are a smart guy, ops, bot
[20:11] <dekushrub> sk33t0r what's your issue?
[20:12] <afeijo> built by smart ones, tho
[20:12] <sk33t0r> hey.. I was trying to reinstall the newest version of ieee80211 so I could use the new ipw2200 firmware, as I was doing that I screwed up my wireless card so I cant wireless internet anymore.. I wanted to reinstall the linux headers so I did that and now my sound card doesn't work anymore or anything what should I do?
[20:12] <armandocer> flannel why is that
[20:12] <Slart> Pirate_Hunter: sigh... yes.. we do get that a lot..
[20:12] <larbuntu>  I got this problem that's really weird, when I click on places in the menu and choose anything in the first column such as 'home' 'documents' and 'music' it opens totem Player. It would be nice to see the files in Nautilus. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[20:12] <dabb1>  afeijo:what happened ?
[20:12] <Flannel> armandocer: Because there's no reason to set a root password
[20:12] <sk33t0r> sudo > root
[20:13] <sk33t0r> do while sudo == root
[20:13] <s-nova> connectirc.freenote.net
[20:13] <tux> i'm in X and if i use ctr-alt-f1 can't see any tty
[20:13] <dabb1> s there any way so that the mounted folder by samba can be unmounted iautomatically
[20:13] <ladyfantasy> actually, sudo < root; that's the whole point :P
[20:13] <armandocer> maybe if you would rather su instead of sudo i understand the ecurity implications
[20:13] <plik> doh
[20:13] <armandocer> either way though no biggie
[20:14] <Flannel> armandocer: You're welcome to use the root account, but please don't recommend it to people in this channel.
[20:14] <wolson> hmmm
[20:14] <Chousuke> su is different, it asks for the target user's password
[20:14] <wolson> How do I shutdown to console ONLY
[20:14] <sk33t0r> shutdown --help
[20:14] <ladyfantasy> one can do just as many damaging things to a system with careless use of sudo
[20:14] <Flannel> wolson: ctrl-alt-f1, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[20:14] <ladyfantasy> i know, i've had to piece together more than one system that some dev or dba trashed with sudo
[20:14] <dabb1> s there any way so that the mounted folder by samba can be unmounted iautomatically
[20:15] <sergiu> hell
[20:15] <sergiu> o
[20:15] <sergiu> :)
[20:15] <dabb1> s there any way so that the mounted folder by samba can be unmounted automatically
[20:15] <Flannel> !samba | dabb1
[20:15] <sergiu> i have removed xorg.conf, it is possible to re-create it?
[20:15] <Slart> dabb1: wait at least 5 minutes before repeating your question.
[20:16] <plik> the point of having a sudoers file is that you can limit the damage that can be done - if you choose to set it up properly
[20:16] <dabb1> ok
[20:16] <Slart> dabb1: you only annoy people and sooner or later you'll get kicked
[20:16] <afeijo> when I click from dolphin on a +x file, it will run?
[20:16] <dabb1>  Slart:ok
[20:16] <sk33t0r> do while sudo <= root
[20:16] <armandocer> i dont understand the appeal of not explaining something to someone who asks maybe someone needs to run a cron job as root there are cases where it could be useful
[20:16] <slammed87d21> any time i try to play frets on fire, the program shuts down. what am i doing wrong
[20:17] <Slart> armandocer: ubuntu is designed to use sudo without root password.. I can't think of anything you can only do with a root password
[20:17] <Flannel> armandocer: The difference is su vs sudo, we're not hiding the root account.
[20:17] <plik> sudo crontab -e works for me
[20:17] <ShackJack> sergiu: When you restart ubuntu I think it will prompt you for resolutions, etc... and create one for you...
[20:17] <sergiu> ShackJack, i will try to reboot ubuntu..
[20:17] <w0ls0n> when I turn on the box, it goes to gnome. I need to install an NVidia driver but I can't seem to just get to console??
[20:17] <slammed87d21> anyone?
[20:18] <Slart> armandocer: but this is getting philosophical.. I think the ot channel would be better suited for this discussion
[20:18] <wng-> So I have a file with a list of only the packages I want installed, and then another file with all the packages I have installed. file a is a subset of file b. What I want to get is a all the packages that are in file b, but not in a, any tips?
[20:18] <Slart> wng-: ouch.. that sounds like a programming
[20:18] <ShackJack> w0ls0n: You can do that while in GNOME....
[20:18] <Slart> wng-: ouch.. that sounds like programming homework =)
[20:18] <w0ls0n> it says I have to be at console, not in X
[20:18] <Miyavix3> Hey, so uh
[20:18] <wng-> Slart: not exactly, was customizing a liveCD and screwed it all up
[20:18] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone use project playlist?
[20:19] <Miyavix3> can someone PM me please?
[20:19] <Mr_Bad_News> everything i upload doesnt work
[20:19] <Slart> wng-: you can probably do it using some weird bash magic.. sort, grep..
[20:19] <wng-> Slart: was hoping I could run one command to remove all the packages instead of going back through it
[20:19] <slammed87d21> anyone?
[20:19] <wng-> Slart: yea, I was thinking sed but I'm not too good with sed
[20:19] <Mr_Bad_News> it plays fine when i open it in a browser but when i upload it it never works im wondering if its something with ffmpeg
[20:19] <armandocer> slart i agree this probably isnt the place for it
[20:19] <Slart> wng-: no.. don't misunderstand me.. I didn't accuse you of asking homework questions.. it just sounded just like homework =)
[20:19] <w0ls0n> how?
[20:19] <Kars> Is there any calender application (Evolution, Kalendar), that can sync with Outlook running on a different machine?
[20:20] <Slart> wng-: perhaps diff can help you?
[20:20] <slammed87d21> does anyone know why FoF wont play? none of my games will...
[20:20] <w0ls0n> ShackJack, how? I can't seem to figure it out
[20:20] <wng-> Slart: I was thinking that as well, then I could use sed or awk to filter out all the nonsense it would create with the +'s
[20:20] <[3][Finity]> Does anybody know how to access the xmms2 equalizer? I can't seem to get anything open but gxmms2 frontend
[20:21] <kevin_123> anyone here using ubuntu on an older computer/laptop?
[20:21] <Slart> wng-: hmm.. ok.. I'm now interested in this.. hang on.. I've got to make two lists to experiment on
[20:21] <detrate> can you do math inside regular expressions?
[20:21] <slammed87d21> hello?
[20:21] <Scorp_> ..
[20:21] <ShackJack> w0ls0n: I think you can sudo init runlevel 2 should do it....
[20:21] <Miyavix3> Can someone please PM me? I'm quite peeved.
[20:21] <w0ls0n> thnx
[20:22] <Scorp_> Miyavix3: Still not got ur desktop back ??
[20:22] <ShackJack> w0ls0n: That takes you down to command line with network... You can sudo gdm start to get back to login...
[20:22] <Miyavix3> yes
[20:22] <Miyavix3> no desktop
[20:22] <sk33t0r> linux > youros
[20:22] <Miyavix3> I only have the cli
[20:22] <Scorp_> Miyavix3: do u have internet running on that desktop ???
[20:22] <Miyavix3> laptop*
[20:22] <Scorp_> ya, laptop
[20:22] <Miyavix3> It's not connecting
[20:22] <[3][Finity]> Anybody know how to open a different xmms frontend besides gxmms2?
[20:22] <Miyavix3> even with the cable hooked up
[20:22] <slammed87d21> hellooo?
[20:23] <[3][Finity]> hi slammed87d21
[20:23] <w0ls0n> this is rough. I gotta find ubuntu drivers
[20:23] <Scorp_> Miyavix3: Just try using ur Live CD, then use chmod to access ur disk and then install the ubuntu-desktop package
[20:23] <Plouj> is there a way to list the installed packages sorted by the amount of space they take up?
[20:23] <becky> excid3: how do i tell what driver i'm running?
[20:23] <wng-> Slart: I've got it figured out pretty easily, kinda felt like cheating though
[20:23] <slammed87d21> how can i get my games to play? none of them will stay running
[20:23] <excid3> becky, not sure...i just looked but couldnt find anything really :(
[20:23] <iGama> slammed87d21, what happens?
[20:23] <Miyavix3> Dude, I don't know how to do that
[20:23] <sriramoman> do ordinary nautilus scripts require any special package?
[20:24] <becky> excid3: ok
[20:24] <tux> i'm in X and if i use ctr-alt-f1 can't see any tty
[20:24] <slammed87d21> after about 10 or 15 seconds into a game, the game shuts dow
[20:24] <slammed87d21> down
[20:24] <excid3> best thing would be to use wget to download the newest one from nvidia.com
[20:24] <Scorp_> Miyavix3: Can u login using hte LIVE CD ???
[20:24] <excid3> becky, take the driver from nvidia.com and compile it yourself
[20:24] <iGama> slammed87d21, try running the game from the Console, and see the output
[20:24] <Miyavix3> The instal disk?
[20:24] <slammed87d21> how do i do that?
[20:24] <Slart> wng-: oh.. what did you do?
[20:25] <iGama> slammed87d21, open a terminal, and run the game, put the name of the app
[20:25] <excid3> becky, that would be your best bet on getting it back to normla
[20:25] <ShackJack> w0ls0n: Do the drivers in the Restricted drivers manager not work?
[20:25] <w0ls0n> no it's still only using 800x600
[20:25] <iGama> slammed87d21, is it a native linux game, or wine?
[20:25] <wng-> Slart: cat filea fileb | sort | uniq -u
[20:25] <Scorp_> Miyavix3: Yeah, thats called a live CD
[20:25] <sriramoman> slammed87d21: were you trying to run any 3D game, preferably tell me the name of the game you attempted to play?
[20:25] <slammed87d21> its a linux game
[20:25] <michael> "'%'-style pattern rules are a gnu make extension" <- what is this error based on ?
[20:25] <w0ls0n> its a fairly older card but other distros work fine with it
[20:25] <slammed87d21> im trying to play Frets on Fire
[20:25] <ShackJack> w0ls0n: BUt it's using the restrcited drivers, no?
[20:25] <Miyavix3> ok uh
[20:25] <Slart> wng-: hehe.. well.. bravo.. most elegant
[20:25] <Miyavix3> How do I actually fix it?
[20:26] <wng-> Slart: I'm guessing uniq is some bash magic that I was trying to write before
[20:26] <Scorp_> Miyavix3: when u boot using the LiveCd, it runs an Ubuntu from the CD, rite ???
[20:26] <slammed87d21> so how do i run the game in terminal?
[20:26] <ShackJack> w0ls0n: And you tried using displayconfig-gtk I assume to set a higher res?
[20:26] <sriramoman> slammed87d21: its not working for me, too. ;)
[20:26] <iGama> slammed87d21, how did you installed it?
[20:27] <iGama> package manager or tar.gz?
[20:27] <slammed87d21> from the add and remove programs program
[20:27] <iGama> ok
[20:27] <sriramoman> slammed87d21: i think its a 3d game and you dont have support for 3d in ur graphx card.
[20:27] <kevin_123> I've got my nVidia drivers working on an older Dell Laptop.  My "issue" is that things are running SUPER slow.  If I minimize a program I watch it minimize like a blind being pulled.  Is the laptop just too slow to evaluate Linux properly?
[20:27] <w0ls0n> ShackJack, can I PM you?
[20:27] <iGama> slammed87d21, open a terminal, and write fretsonfire
[20:27] <slammed87d21> well, it worked before i downloaded any songs for it
[20:27] <iGama> slammed87d21, so run it in the console and see the output
[20:27] <ShackJack> w0ls0n: No, better to use the resources of the room...
[20:28] <iGama> there should be a error msg
[20:28] <Mr_Bad_News> i had to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and now all the colors are messed up and grainy
[20:28] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i fix it
[20:28] <wolson> hmmm now my rez is 600x400 now LOL
[20:28] <vash[b]> what is the minimum ram you guys recommend using for 64 bit?
[20:28] <slammed87d21> this is what it said when i ran it in terminal.....Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
[20:28] <slammed87d21> Aborted
[20:29] <Fenix|work> Anyone have a workaround for localedef killing my machine on an upgrade?
[20:29] <oddalot> 2 gigs?
[20:29] <sk33t0r> include random
[20:29] <Slart> vash[b]: what are you going to use the computer for?
[20:29] <kaiwen> Mr_Bad_News, did it work before? like not grainy?
[20:29] <sriramoman> slammed87d21: its either problem with the game or doesnt support ur card
[20:29] <Mr_Bad_News> yes
[20:29] <Mr_Bad_News> it was the first time
[20:29] <wolson> removing the software
[20:29] <Floi> I've got a problem with my wireless network after installing hardy. it doesn't connect/find any networks until I've done the "check hardware" test
[20:29] <Mr_Bad_News> but as soon as i logged out and in it was fixed
[20:29] <Mr_Bad_News> now its not
[20:29] <vash[b]> nothing serious. just gaming and the like
[20:29] <slammed87d21> so how do i figure that out?
[20:29] <Fenix|work> Should localedef be running for 64 minutes?
[20:29] <kaiwen> Mr_Bad_News ok, go to /etc/X11
[20:29] <kaiwen> Mr_Bad_News, do a cd, and you'll see a backup file
[20:30] <DocMabuse_> excuse me can tell me everyone how can i find my soundcard?
[20:30] <kaiwen> Mr_Bad_News just replace that xorg.conf with the backup *check the backup file to see if it's what you want*
[20:30] <iGama> DocMabuse, run in the console : lspci
[20:30] <w0ls0n> too many people holy crap
[20:30] <sriramoman> slammed87d21: this actually usually occurs in situations, where, in windoze world, the system would freeze and you would require to reboot!
[20:30] <iGama> slammed87d21, looks like a bug in that version , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795517
[20:30] <Slart> vash[b]: I use 4GB in my computer.. but I could probably live with 2GB.. I wouldn't go below 1 GB though
[20:30] <iGama> try getting a newer version
[20:30] <sriramoman> slammed87d21: i refer to segmentation fault.
[20:30] <kaiwen> Slart: I'm running on a 420 mb ;)
[20:31] <vash[b]> alright thanks slart. so i guess i will be fine with my 3GB.
[20:31] <Slart> kaiwen: 420 millibytes? ;)
[20:31] <kaiwen> Slart MB
[20:31] <kaiwen> Slart Mb*
[20:31] <Floi>  I've got a problem with my wireless network after installing hardy. it doesn't connect/find any networks until I've done the "check hardware" test
[20:31] <sriramoman> iGama: segmentation fault occurs even when some hardware feature is not supported for that application, for eg. dri modules in my VIA card,where we need 3D acceleration.
[20:31] <kaiwen> Floi, you have to reinstall yoru drivers
[20:31] <iGama> ok
[20:31] <linuxkrn> hey all, how can I prevent upgrades to certain packages that I've manually changed the source code and install over?
[20:31] <Floi> kaiwen, how?
[20:32] <iGama> sriramoman, ok
[20:32] <kaiwen> Floi, actually try this.
[20:32] <Slart> kaiwen: well.. for a browsing, openoffice, general use computer you don't really need that much memory.. you run gnome on it?
[20:32] <kaiwen> Floi, go to terminal, do. depmod -a
[20:32] <kaiwen> Slart, kde 4.1
[20:32] <becky> excid3:  I got it working by install driver 173 and then changing my xorg.conf to use "nv" driver instead of "nvidia" not sure if the first step was necessary...
[20:32] <Slart> kaiwen: ah.. is it as good as everyone says?
[20:32] <kaiwen> Floi, then modprobe -i ndiswrapper
[20:32] <kaiwen> Slart, i like it so far
[20:32] <kaiwen> Slart, I'm a colelge student, so it looks cool ;)
[20:32] <sriramoman> kaiwen: can u pls tell me how u installed kde 4.1?
[20:33] <excid3> becky, well if you are using the 'nv' driver than you wnot have 3d support :(
[20:33] <sriramoman> kaiwen: i am a college stu, too thats y.
[20:33] <Slart> kaiwen: mm.. I've got a laptop currently running gnome.. might install kubuntu on it.. just to try it out
[20:33] <kaiwen> sriramoman you have to add the kde repository
[20:33] <sriramoman> can u pls give me the link?
[20:33] <becky> excid3: i'm realizing that :(
[20:33] <Floi> kaiwen: and then?
[20:33] <nmeless> help; when i run the command "sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0" I get the error "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem"
[20:33] <becky> i'm downloading the driver now...
[20:33] <excid3> becky, but at least you can user the xserver, try doing another nvidia-xconfig since you have 173 installed...it may just be that the newer kernel is causing problems with it
[20:34] <sriramoman> kaiwen: or some VALID tutorial to the procedure?
[20:34] <kaiwen> sriramoman, it's not that hard to find a google, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-KDE-4-1-On-Ubuntu-8-04-91034.shtml
[20:34] <becky> excid3: ok
[20:34] <tux> i'm in X and if i use ctr-alt-f1 can't see any tty
[20:34] <tux> i see black screen
[20:34] <kaiwen> Floi, do this modprobe -l ndiswrapper
[20:34] <nmeless> can anyone help?
[20:34] <becky> excid3: when i do that do i need to reboot or just /etc/init.d/gdm restart?
[20:34] <kaiwen> Floi tell me what you see
[20:34] <Floi> nothing
[20:34] <kaiwen> sriramoman, i suggest to do a google search before you ask ;)
[20:34] <excid3> becky, gdm restart should be fine
[20:35] <sk33t0r> if I have a device listed in lspci, does that mean it will be possible to get it working dependant, of course, on the amount of research I do?
[20:35] <sriramoman> kaiwen: funny i tried it and that server was not reachable in my comp [refering to kde repos]. thats y it failed when i tried previously.
[20:35] <kaiwen> sriramoman, hmm let me check what repos i have
[20:35] <ganymede> sk33t0r: depends on the device, probably
[20:35] <Floi> kaiwen doesn't say anything
[20:36] <ganymede> sk33t0r: i'm sure there are some obscure devices like hdmi capture cards or something which probably won't work
[20:36] <kaiwen> Floi, then ndiswrapper is not loaded
[20:36] <kaiwen> what did it say when you did modprobe -i ndiswrapper?
[20:37] <Slart> sk33t0r: I think being listed in lspci only tells you the card is connected and working on a most basic level.. doesn't mean you can make it do whatever it's supposed to do without drivers
[20:37] <kaiwen> sriramoman i have this http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu
[20:37] <kaiwen> http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main
[20:37] <kaiwen> sriramoman do it by command line, did you do that?
[20:38] <vash[b]> im a noob linux user about to try to install ubuntu 8.04 on my inspiron 1520, is there any reason why i shouldn't do 64 bit? yes i have 64 bit processor. and i know how to google.
[20:38] <Slart> vash[b]: go with 32-bit.. it's just a little nicer to deal with
[20:38] <skarface> vash[b]: 32bit will be easier and there's little marked benefit to 64 generally
[20:38] <DocMabuse_> !iso
[20:38] <detrate> Anyone know a quick way to divid all numbers in a file in half?
[20:39] <Slart> vash[b]: some proprietary stuff isn't available in 64-bit yet.. flash, skype and so on.. you can still make it work but it takes a little work
[20:39] <sriramoman> kaiwen: i tried. but reloqding failed next time i used update or any apt-based tool.
[20:39] <vash[b]> hmm..ok thanks for the input
[20:39] <Slart> detrate: import it into calc, divide, export?
[20:39] <kaiwen> sriramoman, put this in firefox, and tell me if you can load it http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu
[20:39] <kevin_123> anyone know a way to sync evolution between 2 computers?
[20:40] <kaiwen> sriramoman, oh, and make sure you do it with sudo
[20:40] <sriramoman> kaiwen: no. :(
[20:40] <detrate> Slart: is that a command line tool?
[20:40] <sriramoman> yes, sure.
[20:40] <kaiwen> sriramoman, something wrong, do you have a proxy?
[20:40] <Slart> detrate: openoffice calc
[20:40] <sriramoman> not at all.
[20:40] <psyke83> hi, does anyone know the proper way to add a library to the ia32-libs package for 64bit users? The latest flash plugin has new 32bit dependencies that aren't in the package...
[20:40] <kaiwen> sriramoman, you can go to google though....
[20:40] <Slart> detrate: it's not an elegant solution.. but for a one time thing it works
[20:40] <linuxkrn> hey all, how can I prevent upgrades to certain packages that I've manually changed the source code and install over?
[20:41] <sriramoman> kaiwen: certain sites dont work for me at all, for eg. mobango,the site which u gave, etc.
[20:41] <kaiwen> sriramoman, are you on campus ;)
[20:41] <Slart> linuxkrn: I think you can "pin" them in some way
[20:41] <detrate> Well.. I was writing a php script but it's not as easy to play with the numbers I grep as I thought
[20:41] <Slart> linuxkrn: to keep them from updating
[20:41] <detrate> I was hoping to just pipe in a replacement inside the regular expression
[20:41] <linuxkrn> Slart: wouldn't have a link on that? :)
[20:41] <detrate> I just need to divide my tokens by two :(
[20:42] <sriramoman> kaiwen: no. my own broadband, and anything else, incld. torrents, orkut, irc, illegal stuff .......... works.
[20:42] <Slart> linuxkrn: hmm.. nope.. or wait.. hang on
[20:42] <kaiwen> sriramoman who is yoru provider?
[20:42] <Miyavix31> Hey again
[20:42] <sriramoman> kaiwen: BSNL
[20:42] <Slart> !pin | linuxkrn
[20:42] <linuxkrn> Slart: problem I have is they were installed via apt-get and don't appear on the gui package list (that you can "lock")
[20:42] <kaiwen> sriramoman, prob. that's why
[20:42] <kaiwen> sriramoman, never heard of it.
[20:43] <Miyavix31> So uh, I'm working off the live CD
[20:43] <linuxkrn> Slart: thanks
[20:43] <Miyavix31> But I can't install updates?
[20:43] <kaiwen> sriramoman, let me look up the website's ip ;)
[20:43] <Slart> linuxkrn: you're welcome
[20:43] <Floi> kaiwen so I'll have to get ndiswrapper?
[20:43] <kaiwen> Floi, you dont' have it?
[20:43] <ganymede> if i add a custom line to my sources.list, then i just have to apt-get update, and them i'm good to go? is it normal that i get errors about packages not being able to be authenticated?
[20:43] <Slart> detrate: sorry, I don't really know how to do that in a script.. perhaps someone else does
[20:43] <sriramoman> kaiwen: since its indian govt. stuff, they have the least botheration or intelligence to do things such as block stuff from net.
[20:43] <Miyavix31> good thing I'm on the live CD because now I have internet for both computers
[20:43] <kaiwen> sriramoman it may be your provider's dns
[20:44] <Miyavix31> no wait
[20:44] <Miyavix31> it's working :O!!
[20:44] <Miyavix31> WOAH
[20:44] <kaiwen> Floi, well in any case, do you know the name of yoru network driver?
[20:45] <sriramoman> kaiwen: i am sure its not. just that they may have not connected to certain sites from certain parts of the world. i think all these sites used to work well before that cable disruption 6 months ago in suez canal area.
[20:45] <robot_jesus> how do I associate file types with a program, alternatives ?
[20:45] <frosty> how much should i be paying for a 512 pair of rdram?
[20:45] <robot_jesus> rdram ?  you should get off that asap
[20:45] <kaiwen> sriramoman, could be. you may need to find a mirror
[20:46] <Floi> kaiwen how would I find out?
[20:46] <robot_jesus> frosty: no more than 150
[20:46] <frosty> wow, thats a lot for an old system
[20:46] <Floi> kaiwen thing is- everything worked fine before I upgraded to hardy
[20:46] <kaiwen> Floi, I'm not sure.
[20:46] <robot_jesus> frosty: yea rdram is expensive
[20:46] <Floi> kaiwen let me try to find out
[20:46] <kaiwen> Floi, you can only find it, what's yoru network card called
[20:47] <frosty> any other ways to get that old system hauling?
[20:47] <frosty> already used nlite
[20:47] <kaiwen> sriramoman actually, i may have a mirror foryou
[20:47] <becky> excid3: it's working! mwuhahahahhahahahhaha thx
[20:47] <sriramoman> yes
[20:48] <frosty> that machine is a little slow.....and i can't use any other ram?
[20:48] <kaiwen> sriramoman i take tha tback
[20:48] <robot_jesus> frost typically not
[20:48] <sriramoman> kaiwen: :(
[20:48] <kaiwen> sriramoman maybe you can connect to a proxy server?
[20:49] <kaiwen> sriramoman then through there download it
[20:49] <Moonraker> Hey, I have a problem with Flash in Firefox in Ubuntu Hardy x64.
[20:49] <sriramoman> kaiwen: shall try.
[20:49] <frosty> how about overclocking and stuff?
[20:49] <excid3> becky, awesome glad it worked! :D i was just thinking about upgrading to intrepid myself to see if it would break mine too
[20:50] <becky> excid3: if you do please let me know.
[20:50] <becky> btw loving intrepid!
[20:50] <becky> excid3: the new gnome is sweet and nautilus upgrades have been needed for long time
[20:50] <Miyavix31> Flannel!!! I'm doing it!
[20:50] <robot_jesus> frosty not sure, you probably can though
[20:50] <excid3> becky, i probably wont for a little while because im at home on dialup...but in a week and a half ill be back at college on highspeed :D
[20:51] <frosty> any ideas at all :P ?
[20:51] <excid3> becky, yeah thats what im really looking forward to :D
[20:51] <frosty> it's running fine now...but..
[20:51] <excid3> becky, how stable is it?
[20:51] <Coir> For some reason after an unclean reboot I had to run fsck, and now X won't boot on my machine, and trying to reinstall it I get this message: "Internal Error, ordering was unable to handle the media swap"
[20:52] <becky> excid3: on my other laptop i've had no issues (intel chipset) so i decided to on my main laptop
[20:52] <kaiwen> sriramoman try this http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html
[20:52] <kaiwen> sriramoman add the repos from, there, ;)
[20:53] <becky> excid3: don't know if you use vpn at all but the way they've integrated into the network manager is sweet!
[20:53] <sriramoman> ok, yes. this site works! thanks :)
[20:53] <sbox> Hello all, why I go to apt-get upgrade it tells me things have been kept back. What's the reason for this?
[20:53] <Coir> Anyone have any ideas?
[20:53] <sk33t0r> sudo apt-get install >> windows
[20:54] <sriramoman> has anyone recently installed an update called "evolution-plugins" , which was roughly 83KB?
[20:54] <excid3> becky, yeah i use vpn for gaming with my friends sometimes, i didnt know they integrated that yet! awesome!
[20:54] <excid3> becky,  im pretty sure im just going to upgrade right now :D
[20:54] <becky> excid3: :) cool let me know how it goes
[20:55] <kaiwen> sriramoman are you able to install it?
[20:55] <excid3> becky, will do! need to connect to a faster repository first...only getting 50kb/s and that would take a while even though im stealing highspeed at work :D
[20:55] <kaiwen> sriamoman does the repository load
[20:56] <spsneo> how to install kqemu in hardy?
[20:56] <sriramoman> kaiwen: i'll be trying kde4 after 1/2 hour, coz downloads will be free for me then.
[20:56] <doggymenz> excid3, i download at 9 megabyte/second from the repository with my 100 mbit/s internet connection at home
[20:56] <kaiwen> sriramoman, weird
[20:56] <kaiwen> sriramoman, what's with ur isp?
[20:57] <excid3> doggymenz, wow thats impressive, you must be close to the server then...ive got dialup at home :(
[20:57] <becky> doggymenz: you shouldn't be allowed to brag like that in here :( :(
[20:57] <sriramoman> kaiwen: in india, nearly every isp offers limited bandwidth speed or bandwidth or offers free download timings.
[20:57] <doggymenz> becky, ;D
[20:57] <excid3> doggymenz, and at college they cap us at 300kb/s down :(
[20:57] <doggymenz> excid3, wow, what a sucks college
[20:58] <kaiwen> sriramoman, well let's do a quick check, can you access this http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/
[20:58] <Pirate_Hunter> sriramoman: nice very nice damn why couldnt they do it over here
[20:58] <georgy_28> spsneo, : sudo apt-get install kqemu-common
[20:58] <excid3> doggymenz, yeah but someone told me if you use a static ip there might be a way to get around it ;-)
[20:58] <mizipzor_> i have an external usb hdd, im looking to mount it, according to /dev/ it has more than one partition (in windows it has only one), and none of them is apparently a ntfs partition.... how to mount it?
[20:58] <Alistair> Hi can anyone give me a url for drivers download - I have several but need linux driver for Asus MB and finding it very hard to get.
[20:58] <sriramoman> kaiwen: the link works, i told u previously.
[20:58] <kaiwen> sriramoman, k wasn't sure if you were talking about the webiste or the repois
[20:59] <Gnea> Alistair: drivers for what on the motherboard?
[20:59] <kaiwen> sriramoman, gl w/ it
[20:59] <sriramoman> what?
[20:59] <kaiwen> sriramoman, "good luck with it"
[20:59] <sriramoman> thanx
[20:59] <tillux1> heya there ;) is there some networking-support-channel somewhere? because I need help setting up a proxy for school, especially including the proxy as a bridge...
[21:00] <kaiwen> ok I'm gonna go, hw to do ;)
[21:00] <kaiwen> bye guys
[21:00] <sriramoman> bye
[21:00] <excid3> mizipzor_, install gparted and you can have a graphical view of your drives, then you can mount them accordingly
[21:00] <sriramoman> kaiwen: bye
[21:00] <spsneo> georgy_28: ya I have installed it.. but it still says that qemu accelearation layer not activated
[21:00] <kaiwen> !dhcp | grep tillux1
[21:00] <spsneo> ?
[21:00] <bozrob> what app is this? http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/files/imagecache/screenshot_full/files/445101kd0cf9.png
[21:00] <tillux1> kaiwen: the problem is that we're using a win2k3 server as a dhcp server ;)
[21:00] <excid3> whats the release version for Intrepid? still not beta1 yet right?
[21:00] <Alistair> Gnea: Video drivers for P5VD2-VM
[21:01] <sriramoman> gnome-calculator
[21:01] <georgy_28> spsneo, : ? too
[21:01] <Brucee> how can i add "dclock" to the applications and run; rather than using alt+f2 and type it in?
[21:01] <kaiwen> lol, i'll stay 2. min.
[21:01] <kaiwen> tillux1 so the serve is win2k3?
[21:01] <kaiwen> tillux1 is it also the proxy?
[21:01] <Gnea> Alistair: oh, that's separate from the MB, in the driver sense.. what does lspci | grep VGA   return?
[21:02] <bozrob> brucee; right click applications > edit menu > new item
[21:02] <wolson> nvidia-xconfig: Conflicts: nvidia-glx << How do I get rid of that??
[21:02] <tillux1> kaiwen: no, the proxy is dansguard+squid on an ubuntu machine
[21:02] <Alistair> Gnea: currently I have to run it in VGA mode, otherwise its unusable.
[21:02] <wolson> tried a few different ways
[21:02] <wolson> apt-get remove --purge etc
[21:02] <kaiwen> tillux1, so the setup is like this client > server> proxy
[21:02] <Gnea> Alistair: okay, but that isn't what i asked
[21:02] <excid3> wolson, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx
[21:02] <bozrob> brucee; did that work?
[21:03] <sriramoman> Alistair: use mesa drivers if it does not work.
[21:03] <frybye> I have the recovery live (linux-based-) acronis true image on a cd - but for the eepc of course with no cd-drive need it on a usb-stick.. how exactly can I transer the live acronis cd to a bootable usb-stick?
[21:03] <tillux1> kaiwen: the setup is flexible ;)
[21:03] <Alistair> Gnea: sec I will boot up and do that - can you go to grep from the desktop?? If so can you advise pse?
[21:03] <mizipzor_> excid3: thanks, installing them now
[21:03] <wolson> this is what I keep egting
[21:03] <wolson> Package nvidia-glx is not installed, so not removed
[21:03] <Saladin> I have a problem with sound through Skype. Using Ubuntu 8.04, with ALSA
[21:03] <wolson> oh it says it's broken
[21:03] <Saladin> Can someone help me please?
[21:03] <sriramoman> Alistair: via cards are known for bad linux compatibility. i am sufferin here, too.
[21:03] <excid3> wolson, odd, you checked synaptic?
[21:03] <tillux1> frybye: you can boot it from a pxe-server via lan *g*
[21:03] <oddalot> Saladin what's the problem?
[21:03] <wolson> yea
[21:03] <Saladin> No sound is being recognised or given out
[21:03] <excid3> mizipzor_, gl
[21:03] <kaiwen> tillux1, if you had client > proxy> server
[21:03] <sriramoman> Saladin: try using pulsecode audio
[21:03] <Gnea> Alistair: applications->accessories->terminal
[21:03] <kaiwen> tillux1, you can enable internet connection sharing
[21:04] <mizipzor_> gparted was unable to determine the filesystem of the disk :/ hmm
[21:04] <excid3> wolson, use fix broken packages in synaptic if its broken
[21:04] <oddalot> Saladin like your microphone, or your speakers?
[21:04] <Saladin> sriramoman, how?
[21:04] <kaiwen> tillux1, b/e the two, and that has to do with iptables and such
[21:04] <excid3> mizipzor_, corrupted partition?
[21:04] <Alistair> Gnea: tks
[21:04] <mizipzor_> excid3: maybe
[21:04] <sriramoman> Saladin: choose that in the configuration in gnome volume settings.
[21:04] <frybye> tillux1: - hmmm.. there are even people who know how to fly a bowing 747... if it comes to it...
[21:04] <wolson> looking for it
[21:04] <excid3> mizipzor_, only thing i can think of that would cause that :-\
[21:05] <Saladin> oddalot: My speakers and mic work fine - just not when using Skype. Skype created no sound nor does it pick it up.
[21:05] <tillux1> kaiwen: b/e ?
[21:05] <kdridi> hi there
[21:05] <frybye> tillux1: you dont happen to have the answer to -my- question do you...?
[21:05] <kaiwen> tillux1, I have to go, but do a google around, "firestarter internet connection sharing", "ubuntu internet connection sharing", etc. That may help with the connection in between (b/e)
[21:05] <Coir> For some reason after an unclean reboot I had to run fsck, and now X won't boot on my machine, and trying to reinstall it I get this message: "Internal Error, ordering was unable to handle the media swap"
[21:05] <oddalot> salidin did you try the skype settings?
[21:05] <mizipzor_> excid3: what on earth could have corrupted it? it was working fine under windows like four hours ago :p
[21:05] <Saladin> sriramoman, I only see ALSO, OSS and PulseAudio
[21:05] <kdridi> have you ever hear sound under ubuntu with an imac ?
[21:05] <frybye> just copying the data from the recovery cd in the usual manner to a usb stick would not do the trick - of that I am pretty sure..
[21:05] <kaiwen> !ask | grep frybye
[21:06] <Saladin> Yes, oddalot
[21:06] <sriramoman> Saladin: i meant PulseAudio, sorry.
[21:06] <mib_ouuyz1b0> hello everyone.
[21:06] <Pirate_Hunter> Saladin: is this when youre running skype on its own without another app that uses sound?
[21:06] <tillux1> frybye: well, that indeed is one possible solution of your problem... not the easiest, but it should work
[21:06] <excid3> mizipzor_, that could be it...windows :P i had a flash drive die on me completely it freezes up ubuntu and windows when i plug it in
[21:06] <greymalkin> How do I get portage to download sources from a directory on this machine for a custom ebuild in an overlay?
[21:06] <frybye> kaiwen - I did not ask to ask...
[21:06] <greymalkin> I keep getting "/opt/portage-asp/libdbus++-0.1.tar.bz2: Unsupported scheme."
[21:06] <wolson> fsck this, I'm reinstalling it
[21:06] <Saladin> Pirate_Hunter: In both situations
[21:06] <greymalkin> (same with file:// or file:/// in front of that path)
[21:06] <excid3> mizipzor_, maybe you unplugged it while writing information to it?
[21:07] <excid3> wolson, thats probably the easiest fix unfortunatley
[21:07] <kaiwen> tillux1, so can you tell me the objective? what's the problem you are trying to solve right now
[21:07] <Alistair> Gnea: VGA compatible controller: VIA technologies Chrome9 HC IGP
[21:07] <frybye> if I already have a bootable cd with the whole system on it - shifting that to a usb-stick and making it bootable should not be that mammoth a task or..?
[21:07] <Saladin> sriramoman, Any particular one? I have five in total to choose from
[21:07] <kaiwen> frybye, it's not that hard to do a google on that "ubuntu boot off usb"
[21:07] <AbbasJin[ubuntu]> i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 64-bit in virtual box running over vista 64
[21:07] <sriramoman> Saladin: PulseAudio
[21:07] <AbbasJin[ubuntu]> its giving me error
[21:08] <Saladin> sriramoman, I know, there are five that say pulse audio. Or should there be one on its own as well?
[21:08] <Alistair> sriramoman: it works, but VGA is not that flash for movies. Does mesa driver work better?
[21:08] <frybye> I do not need to boot ubuntu - I need to boot acronis live image recovery disk.... a bootable ubuntu I have...
[21:08] <Pirate_Hunter> Saladin: well pulseaudio could help try that first also to get multiple sound in applications if that is one of your problems as well you could download libasound2, but first try changing sound to pulseaduio and configuring skype for it
[21:08] <frybye> on a stick I mean...
[21:08] <Miyavix31> Hey, can someone find me a working guide to fixing ubuntu using the live CD?
[21:08] <ikonia> frybye: then here is not the correct place to get support
[21:08] <kaiwen> frybye, really, then that has to do with yoru bios
[21:08] <ikonia> frybye: this is support for ubuntu only
[21:08] <Miyavix31> I managed to apt-get update
[21:08] <mizipzor_> excid3: hmm, maybe... is there a way to recover the data from a corrupted partition?
[21:08] <Miyavix31> which was cool
[21:08] <kaiwen> frybye, really, this is not a bios support, this is ubuntu. But, if you insist, go to yoru bios
[21:08] <ikonia> Miyavix31: what is the issue ?
[21:09] <kaiwen> frybye, and set boot from cd as number1
[21:09] <Miyavix31> I started removing ubuntu
[21:09] <excid3> mizipzor_, do you know what format it was?
[21:09] <Miyavix31> and I need to fix it
[21:09] <kaiwen> frybye that way the cd is booted before HD
[21:09] <Alistair> I guess the Envy drivers will not work with this graphics system?
[21:09] <mizipzor_> excid3: ntfs
[21:09] <ikonia> Miyavix31: what errors are you having ?
[21:09] <sriramoman> Alistair: mesa may work better with good refresh rates etc, but it may sometimes be jerky. it will definitely *work* and not harm ur system, so give it a try.
[21:09] <Miyavix31> WEll
[21:09] <_Zeus_> is packages.ubuntu.com down?
[21:09] <ikonia> !envy > Alistair
[21:09] <Miyavix31> I have no desktop, so I'd like to get that back
[21:09] <ikonia> _Zeus_: nope
[21:09] <ikonia> Miyavix31: what did you do to remove it, and what do you have
[21:09] <Miyavix31> but apt-get install ubuntu-desktop isn't working
[21:09] <frybye> ikonia - I am trying to find a way (for me as a newbie-) to put an image of my ubuntu8.04 installation on another pc in the home.. I dont care at all how it is done.. it is just that hubackup cant see the mounted directory from the other pc when it is on my desktop..
[21:09] <Miyavix31> Someone told me to do something with my python
[21:09] <sriramoman> Saladin: choose any one out of the 5
[21:09] <_Zeus_> hmmmm.... can't load it
[21:09] <Miyavix31> sudo remove python2.4-minimal
[21:10] <Miyavix31> Don't do that >_>
[21:10] <frybye> I know how to use acronis to backup ubuntu - the only problem is that it runs from a cd...
[21:10] <mib_ouuyz1b0> hey there. i have a question. i am reinstalling ubuntu 8.04 desktop now. does anyone know if i have to do anything to the homefolder if i want the new instance of ubuntu to keep using it? in the installation i wish to overwrite /home is mountpoint for /dev/sdc1
[21:10] <ikonia> frybye: so what's the problem ?
[21:10] <Tironos_Drii> http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/245/84614d1218626794funnystsw3.jpg
[21:10] <frybye> acronis say - buy an external cd drive..
[21:10] <Miyavix31> It started uninstalling like 30 programs before I realised what it was doing
[21:10] <excid3> mizipzor_, dunno if a force mount would work or not :-\
[21:10] <mlLK>  hey is gzip tarfile > tarfile the same as gzip -c tarfile > tarfile ?
[21:10] <frybye> they did not send the 80$ to pay for it unfortunatly...
[21:10] <kaiwen> frybye, do a search on google "grub boot from cd"
[21:10] <ikonia> frybye: pardon ?
[21:10] <Fenix|work> Greetings, how can I ensure mod_xml and mod_zlib are installed on my ubuntu box?
[21:10] <ikonia> Fenix|work: as in apache mods ?
[21:10] <kaiwen> frybye, we don't want to hear complaints.
[21:11] <Fenix|work> ikonia, correct
[21:11] <sriramoman> Fenix|work: search them in synaptic.
[21:11] <Alistair> ubottu: sri did not get your pm?
[21:11] <ikonia> Fenix|work: look at the apache config to see if it's set to load them
[21:11] <AbbasJin[ubuntu]> i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 64-bit on virtualBOX (in vista64) ...its giving me error, looks like virtualBOX is emulating as 32-bit ..how can i install ubuntu64 on vista64?
[21:11] <Miyavix31> I'm interested in getting my desktop back, so I can work from there
[21:11] <Gnea> Alistair: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-via
[21:11] <sriramoman> Fenix|work: happy independence day greetings.
[21:11] <ikonia> Miyavix31: what happens when you sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop ?
[21:11] <Fenix|work> sriramoman, I'm using ubuntu-server, no gui
[21:11] <kaiwen> frybye, if you want to boot from an iso, put the image on a HD that is ext formatted.
[21:11] <Gnea> Alistair: then, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and make sure to choose the new VIA driver
[21:11] <Miyavix31> tells me to kdpg --configure -a
[21:11] <Miyavix31> but tha doesn't help
[21:11] <Fenix|work> ikonia, I don't see either in mods-available
[21:11] <ikonia> Fenix|work: so what's stopping you look in the apache config file ?
[21:11] <kaiwen> frybye, then do what i said earlier, that'll boot the iso on grub
[21:11] <frybye> strange - up till now I have not experianced this sort of "reception " on #ubuntu..  hmmm
[21:11] <Miyavix31> Let me boot up completely
[21:12] <ikonia> Fenix|work: then they are not installed
[21:12] <Miyavix31> i'll tell you what it says exactly
[21:12] <kaiwen> frybye, b/c you aren't listening
[21:12] <ikonia> Fenix|work: apt-cache search for them
[21:12] <Floi1> kaiwen my network card is a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
[21:12] <Fenix|work> ikonia, and I've grepped for mod_xml with 0 results

[21:12] <ikonia> frybye: what exactly is the issue
[21:12] <kaiwen> frybye, what recovery cd.
[21:12] <kaiwen> frybye, yes.
[21:12] <Fenix|work> ikonia, I've searched with apt-cache xml | grep apache with no results
[21:12] <frybye> kaiwen - I am listening - dont have the background knowledge that u are asuming is available...
[21:12] <Fenix|work> apt-cache search xml | grep apache, with no results
[21:12] <kaiwen> frybye, you didn't seem to reply to my replies
[21:12] <mzuverink> I have a Sony Vaio Laptop, model #: VGN-NR385E.  It has a Intel HDA sound card, and I h=am experiencing the inability to turn of the laptop speakers while there are headphone attached, music or sounds come out both the laptop speakers and the headphones which makes it impossible to use in public locations.  I have Googled it to death but the only results I get are the exact opposite, speakers work fine but no headphones do not work at all.  I
[21:13] <mzuverink>  need to do something and quickly before classes start in two weeks, I  do not care if I can totally disable the laptop speakers all together, when in my room or soon to be dorm room it will be connected to external speakers, anyone experience this or a similar problem?  I am running hardy,4 gigs of ram, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5550  @ 1.83GHz
[21:13] <frybye> I am trying to backup my installation of ubuntu8.04 on another pc...
[21:13] <ikonia> frybye: ok - so what exactly is the issue ?
[21:13] <kaiwen> frybye, do you not have an extern harddrive?
[21:13] <Fenix|work> ikonia, although I've come across libapache2-mod-xmlrpc2 ... but I don't know if that's what I'm looking for
[21:13] <kaiwen> frybye, exactly what are you trying to backup
[21:13] <Miyavix31> Well, if I apt-get my desktop on the live CD but it says I have the newest version
[21:13] <DShepherd> hey I am need some help logging in. When trying to login my gdm says gdm could not write to your authorization file. My disk space is not full
[21:13] <DShepherd> Any clues?
[21:13] <Alistair> Gnea: do I do those commands in term?
[21:13] <kaiwen> Floi1 do you have the windows drivers for it?
[21:13] <frybye> the ubuntu application hubackup cannot "see" the directory from the other pc even though it is on my desktop (on the eeepc which has not cd drive..)
[21:14] <Floi1> I don't think so
[21:14] <Miyavix31> How do I switch it so it goes to my file system?
[21:14] <DShepherd> Alistair, i think so. Right Gnea ?
[21:14] <ikonia> frybye: how have you shared the directory ?
[21:14] <Alistair> Gnea: eg in term type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:14] <frybye> I have an acronis recovery cd that can make backups of whole system very easily on a cd - and need to transfer that somehow to a usb stick that is also bootable..
[21:14] <frybye> ikonia - by using the gui in ubuntu...
[21:14] <kaiwen> frybye, how big is yoru usb then
[21:14] <kaiwen> frybye, and how big is ur "ubuntu"
[21:15] <ikonia> frybye: well, move the file to the USB stick, then boot from a cd and mount the USB stick on the other PC
[21:15] <Miyavix31> Anyone have any suggestions?
[21:15] <kaiwen> Floi1 download the drivers here.
[21:15] <frybye> i have 2 - one of them is 1gb and the other 2gb - = not enough for the whole image or..?
[21:15] <scribawf> Need Guidance on 200gb HD Any recommendations for WinXP & Linux partitions, any thoughts?
[21:15] <Alistair> Gnea: ?
[21:15] <kaiwen> Floi1 http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2259
[21:15] <ikonia> frybye: how big is the image
[21:16] <thompa> no more flash since update latest?
[21:16] <raichlea> hi all, I have a dual boot vista/ubuntu.  I can't mount the vista partition.  The error is "unable to mount volume" and the details say something about the $Logfile and unclean shutdown.  What can I do?
[21:16] <greymalkin> Trying to set SRC_URI to a local tar.bz2 -- how?
[21:16] <Slart> raichlea: boot into vista, run chkdsk on the drive
[21:16] <ikonia> Fenix|work: libapache2-modxslt
[21:16] <excid3> becky, upgrading now! :)
[21:16] <greymalkin> (in an ebuild)
[21:16] <Miyavix31> =\ anyone have any suggestions?
[21:16] <Gnea> Alistair: yes.
[21:16] <kaiwen> raichlea, which one did you install first
[21:16] <greymalkin> damn... wrong channel.
[21:16] <raichlea> Slart, ok..
[21:16] <Slart> raichlea: or use ntfsfix  (with the usual warnings about backups and such)
[21:16] <Fenix|work> ikonia, alright.
[21:16] <thompa> i get a white screen for flash stuff now since upgrade
[21:16] <tillux1> kaiwen: okay, here's the situation: we've got lots of winxp clients with both firefox and ie; one "main" server, which is the win2k3 server which server's as a dhcp client, domain etc..., and one "secondary" server, with ubuntu 8.04 which servers as an ltsp server and as a proxy
[21:16] <frybye> ikonia - you lost me there a bit pal... I need to use acronis true image to -make the image.. the (linux based live recovery system is on a cd and the eeepc has no cd drive..)
[21:17] <kaiwen> raichlea, it can load vista though right?
[21:17] <raichlea> kaiwen, I think vista
[21:17] <Slart> raichlea: I think ntfsfix is included in ntfstools
[21:17] <Slart> !info ntfstools
[21:17] <skywebro> hello everybody. is it possible for apt-get to ignore certain packages from upgrade? i edited /etc/apt/preferences but it doesn't work
[21:17] <Slart> !info ntfsutils
[21:17] <kaiwen> raichlea, but you get vista errors?
[21:17] <raichlea> kaiwen, yes
[21:17] <raichlea> kaiwen, no
[21:17] <Miyavix31> CAn anyone help me D:?
[21:17] <Fenix|work> ikonia, what about zlib .... apt-cache search zlib | grep apache returns libapache2-mod-php5 ...
[21:17] <tillux1> kaiwen: we now just want to make the clients use the proxy (because it's running the filter, which we need, because we're a school ;) )
[21:17] <ikonia> frybye ok - so you need to get a bootable USB stick to boot the OS, get it on the network and copy the image across
[21:17] <Alistair> Gnea: OK tks vm I have to go drop my girl off to school right now but will be back in 15-30 so if I miss you appreciate your help.
[21:17] <frybye> kaiwen:  when you say "move the file" which file do you mean..
[21:17] <Fenix|work> ... does the php mod contain zlib?
[21:17] <SeveredCross> No, but it depends on it.
[21:17] <Slart> !info ntfsprogs | raichlea
[21:17] <cbk486> Hello, I need some help with my broadcom wireless on my latitude d630. I used the utility to installed the restricted drivers and firmware, but the connection is rerdiculously slow. How can I imrpove my speeds?
[21:18] <ikonia> Fenix|work: no
[21:18] <kaiwen> tillux1, ahh, ok your setup will be easier if you do clients > proxy> server then
[21:18] <Miyavix31> Can anyone acknowledge I exist?
[21:18] <cbk486> The same card under windows runs much faster
[21:18] <Slart> Miyavix31: looks to me like you do
[21:18] <ikonia> Miyavix31: people have done that many times
[21:18] <raichlea> Slart, kaiwen installing ntfsprogs
[21:18] <skywebro> hello everybody. is it possible for apt-get to ignore certain packages from upgrade? i edited /etc/apt/preferences but it doesn't work
[21:18] <php6th> Help, wahts the best ever FTP client for ubuntu? gnome??
[21:18] <kaiwen> tillux1, what you do assign a static ip to the port that you want your clients to access to
[21:18] <Miyavix31> So no one knows how to help me?
[21:18] <ikonia> !patience | Miyavix31
[21:18] <raichlea> Slart, kaiwen: installed, now what?
[21:18] <cbk486> !ftp
[21:19] <Miyavix31> Ok fine
[21:19] <Slart> Miyavix31: what's the problem
[21:19] <Miyavix31> I'm currently hogging someone's computer
[21:19] <kaiwen> tillux1, then prob. have your proxy connect through it's other port to the windows server which is using dhcp
[21:19] <Miyavix31> nd they want on
[21:19] <thingfish2> is there a separate channel for 64-bit ubuntu?
[21:19] <Miyavix31> Well, I need to get my desktop back
[21:19] <Slart> raichlea: open a terminal, run "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXX"
[21:19] <frybye> ikonia: If I knew how to do all that stuff - I would also know how to use the konsole and comand line procedurs to do a backup without acronis.. hmmm forget it - too late here now.. time for relax - another day and another battle...
[21:19] <Miyavix31> I'm using the livecd
[21:19] <Slart> raichlea: you'll have to change the sdXX to whatever the ntfs drive is called
[21:19] <kaiwen> tillux1 and the windows is connected to the internet, which I assume, you already have configured to share internet with it
[21:19] <Miyavix31> and it says I'm using the newest version of ubuntu-desktop
[21:19] <ikonia> Miyavix31: boot from your machine, not the livecd
[21:20] <Miyavix31> Then I can't get connection
[21:20] <ikonia> Miyavix31: your livecd  is not what you want to update
[21:20] <ikonia> Miyavix31: you want to update
[21:20] <ikonia> Miyavix31: why ? what happens, is it a wirless card ?
[21:20] <kaiwen> tillux1, it may be easier to also install dhcp on yoru ubuntu box
[21:20] <Miyavix31> Laptop is wireless, but I hook a ethernet cable to it
[21:20] <ikonia> Miyavix31: install the desktop/missing packages from the CD - but for that you need to be booted into the machine
[21:20] <Slart> thingfish2: I don't think so
[21:20] <kaiwen> tillux1, that way the clients will be assigned their own IP address.
[21:20] <[3][Finity]> Does anybody know a good media player with a GUI and that is able to load equalizer presets?
[21:20] <Slart> thingfish2: but you can ask 64 bit question's here =)
[21:20] <Miyavix31> CAn you point me into the direction of a guide or something
[21:20] <raichlea> Slart, this is a really dumb question, but how do I figure out which sda it is?  if I do an ls on /dev/sd* I see /dev/sda - /dev/sda6
[21:20] <thingfish2> thanks Slart
[21:20] <thingfish2> ok cool
[21:21] <Miyavix31> Because I have 1 ethernet cord
[21:21] <Miyavix31> and 2 computers
[21:21] <ikonia> Miyavix31: boot from your PC
[21:21] <ikonia> Miyavix31: don't boot from the live cd
[21:21] <tillux1> kaiwen: ermm :D  I'm not quite sure what you want to say...
[21:21] <Miyavix31> ok then what?
[21:21] <Slart> raichlea: not a dumb question.. let's see.. if you run this "cat /etc/mtab" do you see a line there with ntfs?
[21:21] <thingfish2> I just discovered my box is capable of running a 64-bit o.s. so I'm installing my first one: hardy heron 64-bit.
[21:21] <ikonia> Miyavix31: add the CD as a source to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:21] <ikonia> Miyavix31: then sudo apt-get update
[21:21] <ikonia> Miyavix31: then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:21] <Miyavix31> Hmm ok
[21:22] <Miyavix31> I need internet for this so I'm gonna DC from the chat
[21:22] <Miyavix31> I'll be back
[21:22] <Miyavix31> But wait
[21:22] <ikonia> Miyavix31: you don't
[21:22] <ikonia> Miyavix31: you don't need the internet
[21:22] <Miyavix31> I don't?
[21:22] <[3][Finity]> Does anybody know a good media player with a GUI and that is able to load equalizer presets?
[21:22] <ikonia> Miyavix31: no - install from the CD likve I've just told you
[21:22] <Miyavix31> ok
[21:23] <raichlea> Slart, no, and if I run cat /etc/mtab | grep ntfs I get nothing
[21:23] <justin_> how do i change to root in ubntu
[21:23] <ikonia> justin_: just use sudo for the commands you want
[21:23] <ikonia> justin_: eg: sudo ls
[21:23] <craftyguy> I am trying to set up ssmtp using gmail (ln to sendmail) in TWiki, however I get a "550 5.7.0 Mail Sending denied". Ssmtp sends successfully when run as a local user (I'm assuming TWiki is using apache account??). Any ideas?
[21:23] <raichlea> Slart, does this line help? suid,nodev,user=raichlea 0 0
[21:23] <raichlea> /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf ro,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=raichle
[21:23] <justin_> ikonia, but how do I become root wihtout using sudo
[21:24] <dxdemetriou> can I use the linux-source with all customizations of generic and to make some extra changes? I mean, are there inside the patches of generic kernel and I can apply them?
[21:24] <Slart> raichlea: ah.. ok.. mtab only lists the mounted filesystems.. and yours isn't mounted.. ok, run the gnome partition editor from the system, administration menu
[21:24] <ikonia> justin_: why do you want to
[21:24] <ikonia> justin_: what's the issue with sudo
[21:24] <oddalot> the host is wrong maybe?
[21:24] <Slart> raichlea: nope.. that's the cd/dvd reader
[21:24] <Miyavix31> ikonia: how do I add my CD as a source? I've been using ubuntu for like less than a week
[21:24] <ikonia> Miyavix31: look at the sources.list file, look at the format then add the path to your cd drive
[21:24] <raichlea> Slart, don't have gnome part manager under admin
[21:25] <Miyavix31> No, I mean... what's the command?
[21:25] <justin_> ikonia, some issue im doing with syncing ipod touch and ubuntu, it specificly says not to use sudo, but im trying to ssh over to the ipod, but the user on the ipod is root, andi  believe im having a issue trying to login as root and use it as my user
[21:25] <Slart> raichlea: it's just called "partition editor"
[21:25] <Floi1> kaiwen apparently I'll have to compile the driver I downloaded myself which looks kinda complicated. is there any other way do get the driver?
[21:25] <raichlea> Slart, don't have it
[21:25] <ikonia> justin_: ssh does not require super use privileges
[21:25] <becky> excid3: if you're upgrading on dialup tty in 25 days! :P
[21:25] <soulchild> Hi all,... I have a strange Problem on my Gnome Desktop: Whenever I click a file my home Folder opens, even if I click it only once or with right mouse button, this happend when I upgraded to sid,... any idea ?
[21:25] <ikonia> justin_: ssh root@ipod_host_name_or_ip_address would work
[21:25] <kaiwen> Floi1, you can install the windows xp driver
[21:25] <ikonia> justin_: you don't need to be root to use ssh
[21:25] <Slart> raichlea: ok, run this from a terminal , "gksudo gparted"
[21:26] <Miyavix31> ikonia: I meant, what is the command?
[21:26] <ikonia> Miyavix31: use any text editor you want
[21:26] <tillux1> 22:25:00) kaiwen: windows for ex,  let's network port 1 is eth 0, and network port 2 is eth1
[21:26] <tillux1> (22:25:08) kaiwen: ic,
[21:26] <tillux1> (22:25:15) kaiwen: and is the router connected to the school computers?
[21:26] <Miyavix31> ikonia: Sorry I forgot to mention that I have no desktop... only a CLI
[21:26] <ikonia> Miyavix31: use a command line editor like nano
[21:26] <raichlea> Slart, doesn't seem to have done anything.  Installing gnome partition manager now
[21:26] <ikonia> Miyavix31: you didn't forget to mention, thats why I'm telling you how to re-install your desktop
[21:27] <raichlea> Slart, worked now
[21:27] <Slart> raichlea: hmm.. I thought that was installed by default.. my bad
[21:27] <ikonia> Miyavix31: although at this time you may find it easier to just re-install ubuntu
[21:27] <Slart> raichlea: ok.. in the top right corner is a drop down menu with all your hard drives
[21:27] <raichlea> Slart, I see ntfs is /dev/sda1
[21:27] <Slart> raichlea: ah.. so "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1"
[21:27] <georgy_28> Miyavix31, : sudo apt-cdrom add
[21:27] <ikonia> georgy_28: excellent trick
[21:27] <Slart> raichlea: it shouldn't take very long to finish
[21:28] <ohgodnotanother1> hi
[21:28] <georgy_28> ikonia, ;)
[21:28] <raichlea> Slart, seems to have worked.    Has a big file name with a bunch of $DeleteMe.$'s
[21:28] <Miyavix31> failed to mount the cdrom...?
[21:28] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey I am having toruble setting up my ftp server in ubuntu, i am using proftpd, everything seems to be working excpet after  a users user name and pass is verified it hangs there
[21:28] <ikonia> Miyavix31: is the cd in the drive ?
[21:28] <Miyavix31> yeah
[21:28] <Miyavix31> hold on
[21:28] <ohgodnotanother1> my screensaver does never get active, although I think I've set everything properly (xubuntu)
[21:28] <Slart> raichlea: probably leftovers from whatever was broken on the drive
[21:28] <ohgodnotanother1> any suggestions?
[21:29] <Miyavix31> ok it's working now
[21:29] <justin_> ikonia, i am doing that then it asks for the password twice and i get this fuse: mountpoint is not empty
[21:29] <justin_>   fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
[21:29] <justin_>
[21:29] <raichlea> Slart, cool thanks for the help!
[21:29] <Slart> raichlea: you're welcome
[21:29] <Miyavix31> What does that do now?
[21:29] <ikonia> Miyavix31: thats added the cd to your sources.list
[21:29] <Miyavix31> alright
[21:29] <ds[de]> quick question: ubuntu hardy should be able to play .asf files ootb right?
[21:30] <zChris> Hi, im tryinng to install vbox but it needs modules package, but i cant find the right one to install :(
[21:30] <Miyavix31> hmm
[21:30] <Miyavix31> IT says I should update
[21:30] <Alistair> Gnea: you still there?
[21:30] <ikonia> Miyavix31: so update as I told you to do
[21:30] <ikonia> Miyavix31: sudo apt-get updat
[21:30] <ikonia> Miyavix31: sudo apt-get update
[21:30] <spsneo> I want to compile kernel and make a bootable image. I have already compiled the kernel. How to make a bootable image?
[21:30] <ikonia> spsneo: in what sense bootable image
[21:31] <ikonia> spsneo: a bootable kenrnel file or an iso image
[21:31] <Miyavix31> "Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[21:31] <Miyavix31> YOu may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems"
[21:31] <spsneo> ikonia: i want to boot the new kernel on qemu
[21:31] <spsneo> ikonia: so I guess I need iso /.
[21:31] <ikonia> Miyavix31: thats, fine you have no network
[21:31] <ikonia> spsneo: so just update grub on the vm
[21:31] <ds[de]> What could be a reason why certain packages are being 'hold back' after an apt-get upgrade?
[21:31] <Alistair> [sudo] password for xxxx:    when I type correct password got no feedback eg asterisk but it also took ages to accept correct password any idea?
[21:31] <ikonia> ds[de]: check the dpkg.log
[21:32] <ikonia> Alistair: you don't get astrix
[21:32] <Miyavix31> Should I hook it up to the internet?
[21:32] <ikonia> Miyavix31: no
[21:32] <spsneo> ikonia: theres nothing on vm now
[21:32] <juro> is anyone here running Aptana Studio on Ubuntu 64 bit?
[21:32] <Miyavix31> ikonia: Then what do I do?
[21:32] <ikonia> spsneo: ok - so your going to need to make a distro to boot from
[21:32] <Gnea> Alistair: yes
[21:32] <ikonia> Myrtti: install the ubuntu-desktop pacakge
[21:32] <spsneo> ikonia: ya kinda
[21:32] <spsneo> ikonia: infact yes
[21:33] <Alistair> ikonia: why wouldnt it take correct password on first three attempts is that flakey?
[21:33] <Floi1> kaiwen I downloaded the xp drivers but the installer doesnt' work
[21:33] <ikonia> Alistair: miss-tpe
[21:33] <kaiwen> you don't
[21:33] <ikonia> type
[21:33] <kaiwen> do that
[21:33] <kaiwen> Floi1, youse windows to extract the drivers
[21:33] <thingfish2> so if you download the 64-bit version of hardy, and you install it, and it runs fine after installing, that means it worked?  You're running 64-bit hardy?
[21:33] <Floi1> can
[21:33] <thingfish2> because the kernel says generic
[21:33] <ikonia> spsneo: what part is an issue for you?
[21:33] <Floi1> can't do it with wine?
[21:33] <Alistair> Gnea: tks I tried that but it did say that it already had the latest version installed so I went no further than: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-via
[21:33] <spsneo> i did compile
[21:33] <Slart> thingfish2: you're still using the generic kernel.. but 64 bit
[21:34] <spsneo> i got that bzImage
[21:34] <thingfish2> Slart: oh ok
[21:34] <Slart> thingfish2: and if you installed it, booted it and it works.. that means you've installed it
[21:34] <ikonia> spsneo: yup, so you have a kernel, what have you done to build a distro to boot
[21:34] <spsneo> next?
[21:34] <ikonia> spsneo: you need to build a whole operating system to boot
[21:34] <Slart> thingfish2: you can check what kernel you're using by running "uname -a" in a terminal..
[21:34] <Slart> !smp | thingfish2
[21:34] <thingfish2> Slart: I did uname -r
[21:34] <spsneo> ikonia: so what all will I have to do now
[21:34] <thingfish2> thanks Slart
[21:34] <Slart> thingfish2: I think that only lists the version number
[21:35] <ikonia> spsneo: build a distro to boot, and make it into an iso image
[21:35] <spsneo> any guide on net?
[21:35] <guntbert> thingfish2: use uname -m
[21:35] <ikonia> spsneo: are you trying to boot ubuntu ?
[21:35] <Gnea> Alistair: alright, are you booted up into ubuntu now or are you back in windows?
[21:35] <spsneo> ikonia: no
[21:35] <thingfish2> ah ok, I see, thanks guys.  This is exciting - it's my first 64-bit o.s.
[21:36] <ikonia> spsneo: then it's nothing to do with ubuntu, and thus this channel is not the correct place to ask
[21:36] <Alistair> Gnea: Im running two PC - this is XP and across the room is the Ubuntu one
[21:36] <wam> Hi, I have a graphic tablet which works but which is not recognized as a seperate input device (i.g. by gimp or inkscape). All I have there is "Configured Mouse" and "Core Pointer". How can I make the tablet show up there?
[21:36] <Alistair> Gnea: and ubuntu term is running
[21:36] <Miyavix31> ikonia so... if I have no internet how do I install updates?
[21:36] <chalcedony> wam: nice question .. i have one too
[21:36] <Gnea> Alistair: i was going to suggest - install xchat on ubuntu and get on irc from there
[21:37] <Hulk> irc://irc.velocityirc.net/beast-xdcc
[21:37] <ikonia> Miyavix31: you don't - install the ubuntu-desktop package to get your desktop back
[21:37] <Hulk> irc.velocityirc.net/beast-xdcc
[21:37] <master_yoda> hi folks, i cant get my camera to work properly on ubuntu
[21:37] <excid3> becky, im at work right now so its almost done already but i did run out of harddrive space!
[21:37] <ikonia> Miyavix31: at this stage I would suggest you just boot the livecd and re-install ubuntu
[21:37] <chalcedony> Gnea: don't get Xchat gnome
[21:37] <master_yoda> it shows my photo but it looks like a photo negative
[21:37] <Miyavix31> ikonia: It said I can't, I need to update to resolve the problem
[21:37] <jtmitchum> Good afternoon
[21:37] <ikonia> Miyavix31: what command did you use to install ?
[21:37] <Gnea> chalcedony: what?
[21:38] <sriramoman> kaiwen: its downloading fine! :)
[21:38] <Miyavix31> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:38] <ikonia> Miyavix31: and what was the error ?
[21:38] <ikonia> Miyavix31: exactly
[21:38] <kaiwen> sriramoman great ;)
[21:38] <Bromskloss> Hi! Most of the times I play a movie or use the camera (through Cheese), my desktop freezes. I can move the mouse but windows and meters for CPU and similar stop working, as do Ctrl+Alt+F1. Logging in remotely is still possible. I run Hardy on a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P7230 with an Intel graphics card. No problems in Gutsy, as far as I can recall. Would be very thankful for help.
[21:38] <jtmitchum> I was hoping there was a way to do a fresh install of ubuntu server but keep as many of the settings as possible?
[21:38] <Miyavix31> ikonia: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[21:38] <Alistair> Well I am still in the woods - is the graphics I have under 'video-via' the best I am going to get for p5vd2-vm??
[21:38] <sriramoman> kaiwen: whats the usual bandwidth u get from ur isp?
[21:39] <kaiwen> i'm at the university
[21:39] <ikonia> Miyavix31: remove/comment out the other lines from the /etc/apt/sources.list file that are not to do with your CD
[21:39] <kaiwen> sooooo.... t3
[21:39] <ikonia> Miyavix31: however I suggest you just re-install ubuntu from the CD
[21:39] <guntbert> update-manager - What is the meaning of the section "distribution updates" ?
[21:39] <Gnea> Alistair: i think so - what options do you get if you go system->preferences->screen resolution?
[21:39] <sriramoman> Alistair: unfortunately, yes, at least till via introduces updates, and that may be after 10 yrs.
[21:40] <_Zeus_> to whom can I report a broken mirror?
[21:40] <ds[de]> What package do I have to install in order to play .asf video files?
[21:40] <ikonia> _Zeus_: which mirror
[21:40] <sriramoman> Alistair: did u try mesa driver?
[21:40] <_Zeus_> opensourcemirrors.org
[21:40] <_Zeus_> it's used on packages.ubuntu.com
[21:40] <Slart> ds[de]: perhaps w32codecs.. check out !medibuntu
[21:40] <Alistair> Gnea: its on 1024x768 but will go higher, but I cannot set enhanced graphics mode with this driver
[21:40] <_Zeus_> opensourcemirrors.org is one of those lame search sites now
[21:40] <Miyavix31> ok, **** it, I'm installing again
[21:40] <Miyavix31> Thanks dudes
[21:41] <ds[de]> Slart: w32codecs are already installed in the newest version, didn't help (sadly) :)
[21:41] <Miyavix31> IT's been fun
[21:41] <Alistair> sriramoman: any url for the correct mesa for p5vd2-vm??
[21:41] <arooni> can someone in europe download this deb and send it to me?  http://zattoo.com/en/download/linux?download=1&version=Linux-i386-deb
[21:41] <ikonia> _Zeus_: hit the repo hostmaster
[21:41] <_Zeus_> how do I do that?
[21:41] <ikonia> _Zeus_: email
[21:41] <sriramoman> Alistair: literally, no. it wont be there in the entire internet in public domain, and i am confident.
[21:41] <_Zeus_> ok
[21:41] <Slart> ds[de]: hmm.. then I'm not sure.. or perhaps asf is just a container format.. like avi
[21:41] <Gnea> Alistair: is this you? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5579371
[21:42] <ds[de]> arooni: I would do it but you can only receive programs that are 'appropriate' for the IP you conncet with
[21:42] <Slart> ds[de]: then who knows what's inside it.. could be something microsofty that isn't implemented yet
[21:42] <ds[de]> arooni: meaning they only should you channels which you could watch for free on the tv anyways
[21:42] <sriramoman> ds[de]: y dont u try thru ulimatix?
[21:42] <ikonia> ds[de]: doing try ultmatix
[21:42] <arooni> ds[de], well thats ok i guess?  i really want to watch the olympics
[21:42] <kaiwen> by guys! two min. became 39
[21:42] <kaiwen> lol
[21:42] <Slart> ulimatix??? is that the new automatix?
[21:42] <arooni> how can i watch the olympics on ubuntu :((
[21:42] <ikonia> ds[de]: it's very poor and potentially dangerous to installations
[21:42] <Alistair> Gnea: yep thats me maybe my suggestion is not the best but it worked
[21:42] <ikonia> Slart: yes, not good
[21:43] <ikonia> ds[de]: don't try ultramatix that should read
[21:43] <ds[de]> ikonia: ok :)
[21:43] <Slart> ikonia: sigh... why oh why..
[21:43] <sriramoman> arooni: available in olympic.com, i think via youtube.
[21:43] <Alistair> sriramoman: sorry I dont understand ' it wont be there in the entire internet in public domain'
[21:43] <Gnea> Alistair: yeah, that envy thing makes no sense - you have a VIA GPU, not an ATI nor Nvidia GPU
[21:44] <biped> hi there. does anyone have a minute for a rookie?
[21:44] <ikonia> biped: if you ask the question you'll get a response
[21:45] <biped> sweet. here we go: I'm reinstalling ubuntu right now. /home is on its own partition and i am wondering what i need to do to make the new instance of ubuntu use that /home dir
[21:45] <_Zeus_> nothing
[21:45] <ikonia> biped: depends if you want the data from it
[21:45] <_Zeus_> well i take that back
[21:45] <Alistair> Gnea: you obviously have a lot of clues in Linux. This Video thing comes through as a common problem on the forum - not just for my system but for others too. Ubuntu is so far ahead of other o/s IMHO its a pity that graphics compatibility lets it down.
[21:46] <_Zeus_> biped: when you're installing ubuntu, use the "manual partitioning" feature
[21:46] <biped> ikonia I do want to keep the data
[21:46] <ikonia> biped: then let ubuntu use that partition for /home
[21:46] <biped> i see
[21:46] <burhan> biped: tell it not to format it.
[21:46] <_Zeus_> biped: then, edit the current /home and uncheck "format" and for mount point say "/home"
[21:46] <lore20> hi
[21:46] <_Zeus_> and for filesystem put whatever you use
[21:46] <matlab> Hello. I have to move about 100 folders into one single folder. However, 6 out of these 100 folders need to stay and cannot be touched because they have very delicate permissions. Is there some way I can move ("mv") ALL (sudo mv *) folders into another folder but exclude some specific ones. For example ("sudo mv * /home/user1/ exclude examplefolder1, examplefolder2, examplefolder3)
[21:47] <lore20> where can i found "zip" source in tar.gz? i've found it only in ".zip"
[21:47] <wng-> I made a custom livecd, but what I wanted to do was change the default login shell for the livecd, any ideas?
[21:47] <biped> alright. can i create the same users that /home contains later and assign them to the old folders?
[21:47] <sriramoman> Alistair: i searched completely in the internet and since i also have a via, i have to confess that via LACKS linux support.
[21:47] <ds[de]> arooni are you still around?
[21:47] <ikonia> matlab: simle loop script, for i in `ls | grep -v folder1 | grep -v folder2 | grep -v folder3` ; do ; mv $i $new_path; done
[21:48] <ikonia> matlab: that will move everything except for folder1, ,2 and 3
[21:48] <Valect> i need to create a bridge and tap device in ubuntu.. wwhat commands will do this?
[21:48] <_Zeus_> biped: the users will still be there
[21:48] <_Zeus_> everything will be the same
[21:48] <ikonia> Valect: tunctl and brctl
[21:48] <Valect> k
[21:48] <biped> oh, thanks zeus
[21:48] <_Zeus_> np man
[21:48] <Alistair> sriramoman: tks 4 that. Of course, if you call Asus they dont even want to know you! But you did say Mesa driver you still recommend I search for that?
[21:49] <Gnea> Alistair: well, ubuntu isn't superior in every aspect - this is one of the few that it isn't - but, it has the potential to improve
[21:49] <bastid_raZor> biped; i've done that exact thing in the past.. ideally the way to do it is..in the live cd mount the /home partition and rename your user to ex. user.old then install that way.. move or copy files from the user.old to the user that the install created.
[21:49] <tim_> help, i have no sound with totem, but with everything else
[21:49] <guntbert> question about update-manager : What is the meaning of the section "distribution updates" ?
[21:50] <W9ZEB> is there anything I can do to improve the performance of the spam filters in Evolution?
[21:50] <php6th> Hook InfoboxDataCapture::save failed to return a value
[21:50] <casdf> hi; can someone help me figure out how to get enlightened sound daemon to work?
[21:50] <tim_> i do not find where to change to alsa in totem
[21:50] <php6th> Hook InfoboxDataCapture::save failed to return a value, why this happens with Infoboxdata.php ????
[21:50] <W9ZEB> besides add additional spam controls to my mail server?
[21:51] <matlab> ikonia, so assume I am in the directory that has all the folders I want to move. I type: "sudo mv -r * | grep -v folder1 |  grep -v folder2 | grep -v folder3 ; do ; mv $i $/home/destinationfolder; done"
[21:51] <casdf> when i do `esd` the server seems to immediately shut down
[21:51] <ikonia> matlab: no
[21:51] <ikonia> matlab: I told you a simple for loop
[21:51] <ikonia> matlab: I've just given you the corect command
[21:51] <Alistair> Gnea: Ive been working with PC for over 25 years. Back in the days of assembler and C etc. I tried Linux then, but it was not so flash - showed potential. But just recently I thought it would be a good option to stop the kids stuffing up their PC, and have been amazed at how compatible, and easy Ubuntu is. However, after buying the new PC for them, found this graphics problem which took ages...
[21:51] <Alistair> ...to sort!
[21:51] <sriramoman> Alistair: mesa is the universal video driver in linux. to activate it, just change the driver name to "mesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:52] <matlab> ikonia, could you please expand I bit? I am lost. Thanks...
[21:52] <burhan> W9ZEB: use thunderbird.
[21:52] <Gnuyen> hi, I'm running vncserver
[21:52] <ikonia> matlab: for i in `ls | grep -v ignore_dir | grep -v ignore_dir2` ; do mv $i /home/test/new/dir/$i ; done
[21:53] <Alistair> sriramoman: tks - I know I should read the faq but can I edit xorg.conf within the text editor OK?
[21:53] <Gnuyen> and the keyboard is all screwed up, j->; `->p enter->space
[21:53] <matlab> ikonia, what is "i"?
[21:53] <swamptin> batsquid: thanks
[21:53] <ikonia> matlab: a vaible
[21:53] <W9ZEB> burhan: Mozilla ever release a Thunderbird-Exchange plugin?  ;)
[21:53] <matlab> ikonia, oh. a variable
[21:53] <burhan> W9ZEB: oh you are one of those Exchange people. I feel for you.
[21:53] <sriramoman> Alistair: u can, and use the text editor. i dont mind lending u my hand to clearly explain what to do to enable mesa.
[21:53] <W9ZEB> burhan: tell me about it.
[21:54] <pisse> MySQL isn't working.. I want to either reinstall MySQL from scratch or make it work.. can someone help me with this?
[21:54] <burhan> pisse: what's the error?
[21:54] <sriramoman> Alistair: all u need is to give a decently quick response.
[21:54] <batsquid> swamptin for what?
[21:54] <W9ZEB> burhan: I guess I can take the three imap accounts off of evolution and run thunderbird for three of four accounts.
[21:54] <ikonia> pisse: what's the issue
[21:54] <Alistair> sriramoman: sorry meant to add - if the wheels fall off, and I cannot see my screen any more how to easily revert back to original xorg.conf?
[21:55] <matlab> ikonia, do you include the "$"?
[21:55] <wng-> I made a custom livecd, but what I wanted to do was change the default login shell for the livecd, any ideas?
[21:55] <Alistair> sriramoman: I can understand and do what you are saying np
[21:55] <burhan> Alistair: try sudo dkpg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg -- that should reset it to a usable default.
[21:55] <ikonia> matlab: yes
[21:55] <ikonia> wng-: change the shell in /etc/passwd
[21:55] <sriramoman> Alistair: i will instruct everything, including remedies.
[21:55] <Gnea> Alistair: well, i've found a FEW things on it...
[21:55] <matlab> ikonia, and the "done"?
[21:55] <wng-> ikonia: thanks!
[21:55] <biped> excuse me ikonia or _Zeus_ one more question: when doing the manual partitioning, i don't have to format any of the old partitions? just give the installer the old mount points and that's it?
[21:56] <sriramoman> Alistair: do u know how to use the command line?
[21:56] <swamptin> batsquid: You said that there was a plugin for (I think) getting a usb soundcard to work with firefox. Or at least, that was the last question I asked about here. it just came up in my away log
[21:56] <ikonia> matlab: sure
[21:56] <burhan> biped: you should format / for sure.

[21:56] <juro> I am looking for a linux version of Helium2 (music manager) - any takers?
[21:56] <matlab> ikonia, thank you very much. I am going to do so now
[21:56] <Gnea> Alistair: that may or may not work...... have you seen this one?
[21:56] <batsquid> swamptin someone else must have helped you
[21:56] <ikonia> matlab: enjoy
[21:56] <pisse> burhan, ikonia: I just installed it and tried to get a root password.. but I guess I messed it somehow. Like a week ago I think I managed to get a password for root.. but I could login with admin and no password, so I tried to change it and I don't really remember what I did back then. Now I'm only getting output like this: http://pastebin.com/m4fb951fb
[21:57] <Gnuyen> hi, I'm running vncserver and the input is broken, s maps to b, b maps to s, j maps to ;
[21:57] <biped> okay, how about /boot and /var (both separate partitions)
[21:57] <sriramoman> Alistair: no. press alt+ctrl+f1, you will get a command line once its booted.
[21:57] <ikonia> pisse: remove totally, re-install and set the mysql root password corectly
[21:57] <sriramoman> for now, u will find gnome-terminal in accesories.
[21:57] <burhan> juro: exaile
[21:57] <pisse> ikonia: ok, so which packages should I remove?
[21:57] <wng-> ikonia: the livecd user is added on boot, and the details are not in the /etc/passwd file, i see they are added by a script later, which uses set passwd/user-* lines to set the details, any idea now?
[21:58] <burhan> pisse: you just need to login as root
[21:58] <burhan> pisse: mysql -u root <-- what do you get with that?
[21:59] <pisse> burhan: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[21:59] <UltraNav> How do I get rid of the avahi-#@$@#$ ? After disabling the service and rebooting the machine the route (<IP_ADDRESS>) is still there. deleting the route doesn't seem to work. Any ideas ?
[21:59] <burhan> pisse: mysql -u root -p
[21:59] <burhan> pisse: and then input your password that you set for the *mysql* root user.
[21:59] <el> Is there a way to run msi. extension file in linux?
[21:59] <burhan> el: install wine.
[21:59] <juro> burhan, thank you.
[21:59] <el> already installed
[21:59] <sriramoman> Alistair: i expect a bit faster response.
[21:59] <burhan> el: then double click it.
[21:59] <pisse> burhan: problem is that it doesn't work.. =/
[22:00] <burhan> pisse: so you forgot it then :P
[22:00] <pisse> burhan: nah.. more likely that I deleted the root user or something
[22:00] <Alistair> sriramoman: sorry kids fighting here over some toys I am Dad and sometimes have to act as Mum - a bit tough when you live and work in the same space!
[22:00] <Gnea> !patience | sriramoman
[22:01] <pisse> burhan: I went on a rampage when I realized I could login as admin without password
[22:01] <_Zeus_> you still there biped?
[22:01] <biped> yap
[22:01] <burhan> pisse: ouch lol
[22:01] <_Zeus_> you will need to format the / partition
[22:01] <sriramoman> Alistair: i am sorry.
[22:01] <burhan> pisse: are you interested in resetting the root password for mysql or just re-install it from scratch?
[22:01] <_Zeus_> but it will automatically chack that
[22:02] <_Zeus_> MAKE SURE that the /home is unchecked
[22:02] <_Zeus_> so to sum it up: format ONLY /
[22:02] <el> how I can double click to wine?
[22:02] <Alistair> sriramoman: I will do you instructions now on the other pc pse wait.
[22:02] <Nutzebahn> Hello. Could someone recommend a good alternative to C++ Builder?
[22:02] <_Zeus_> make a shortcut that says "wine programname"
[22:02] <sriramoman> Alistair: sure.
[22:02] <_Zeus_> got it biped?
[22:02] <sriramoman> Nutzebahn: kdevelop
[22:02] <biped> understood, but i have a bunch of other mountpoints defined, should i leave those untouched too? /usr /var for example
[22:03] <Gnea> el: click once on Applications, drag the mouse over Wine and Programs, then click the one you want
[22:03] <_Zeus_> no you need to format those
[22:03] <_Zeus_> why are they all on different folders??
[22:03] <_Zeus_> *partitions
[22:03] <biped> ok, and /boot too, i reckon
[22:03] <_Zeus_> why?
[22:03] <_Zeus_> usually you have 2: / and /home
[22:03] <_Zeus_> did you configure it to use all those different ones?
[22:03] <burhan> Nutzebahn: anjuta
[22:03] <Gnea> _Zeus_: it's not uncommon to have / /var /usr /home /tmp /boot
[22:03] <_Zeus_> oh
[22:04] <_Zeus_> well then i don't know
[22:04] <Nutzebahn> sriramoman: I don't know how to use Kdevelop, could you recommend something else?
[22:04] <biped> i don't know, i guess i did that because it was in the available options during install :)
[22:04] <burhan> _Zeus_: most servers have separate partitions.
[22:04] <Gnea> _Zeus_: that's okay, we all start somewhere :)
[22:04] <casdf> can anyone help me get esd working? it seems to close immediately after it starts
[22:04] <burhan> Nutzebahn: anjuta
[22:04] <burhan> casdf: run it from the shell and see what error it gives.
[22:04] <pisse> burhan: I tried to remove all mysql packages but synaptic displayed an error. so instead I tried to reinstall them and I get this: http://pastebin.com/m37d2a08
[22:04] <casdf> burhan: nothing shows up
[22:04] <Nutzebahn> I want something with an RAD IDE like C++ Builder, with a form designer...
[22:05] <casdf> burhan: i just dont see it in ps ax
[22:05] <Gnea> Nutzebahn: not sure if Eclipse has a form designer, but it'll do C++
[22:05] <_Zeus_> which ones should he format for a reinstall
[22:05] <_Zeus_> ?
[22:05] <_Zeus_> Gnea: should he format all except /home?
[22:05] <guntbert> biped: imho you should format every partition *except* /home
[22:05] <Gnea> _Zeus_: yes.
[22:05] <wng-> I made a custom livecd, but what I wanted to do was change the default login shell for the livecd, any ideas?
[22:05] <burhan> pisse: when you say 'reinstall' what did you do exactly?
[22:05] <sriramoman> Nutzebahn: eric
[22:05] <_Zeus_> ok biped so you should format all but /home
[22:06] <_Zeus_> or else i don't think your install will work
[22:06] <pisse> burhan: marked with "re-install" in synaptic
[22:06] <_Zeus_> likely it will force you to format /var /usr /boot, etc
[22:06] <burhan> pisse: sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server
[22:06] <_Zeus_> yay!
[22:06] <_Zeus_> purge mysql
[22:07] <biped> cool. so, once again just to be on the safe side: if I assign /home to the former /home partition and DON't format it, ubuntu will recognise that and the users will be there in the new installation?
[22:07] <burhan> pisse: next time, when you forget the root password, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[22:07] <Alistair> sriramoman: I always backup my files before modifying them and after opening xorg.conf tried saving it to xorgORG.conf but got a permissions issue which of course would apply to editing and saving the file as well. Pse advise how to unlock files within the X11 dir?
[22:07] <Gnea> Alistair: i found this too... not sure how intuitive you are with kernels, but... http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=P4M900
[22:07] <_Zeus_> biped: yes
[22:07] <burhan> biped: of course not.
[22:07] <_Zeus_> ???
[22:07] <_Zeus_> i've done it
[22:07] <biped> ummm...
[22:07] <_Zeus_> burhan: elaborate please?
[22:07] <burhan> biped: just because its not formatting it, it will not recreate all the users.
[22:07] <biped> ok... i'm confused now :)
[22:07] <dvs> man ..  ubuntu kicks sooo much ass
