[23:35] <kinetic> r2d24u: but is there a way to have them show if I press say F6 for instance
[23:35] <alchemist__> what is the best filesystem to use for directories with lots of small files?
[23:36] <kinetic> r2d24u: oh thanks
[23:36] <Kxx> gbolte: I am assuming yu have pulseaudio applet also running
[23:36] <gbolte> Kxx, its installed but I cannot get it to start
[23:36] <gbolte> yeah
[23:36] <Xial> patrik, I'm half tempted to ask you to disconnect from wireless, hang up the current mobile broadband dial-in session, and start it again, just to eliminate the wireless from the equation. :) Let me think and see if there's a better solution first, however.
[23:36] <milostrife> hey anyone know how to mount a formated hard rive with nothing on, into linux as it's no recognising it?
[23:36] <patrik> Xial, I see your point. Though that means I will lose my internet connection ;)
[23:37] <BCM34> I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from one computer to throughout a network. Does anybody have any ideas?
[23:37] <Scunizi> milostrife: you could try "sudo mount -a
[23:37] <Xial> patrik, exactly. :) That's why I'm thinking to see if I have a better solution.
[23:37] <gbolte> Kxx, this box was working great on first install but once I ran updates and rebooted it dosent play audio anymore
[23:37] <milostrife> is that all of the commands sorry new to uduntu
[23:37] <gbolte> :(
[23:38] <patrik> Xial: an ifconfig says it has an IP, that's a good thing ;)
[23:38] <Kxx> gbolte: when i try it it starts listening on ports 16001 and 4713
[23:38] <Xial> patrik, I also assume you're currently using wvdial for managing the Huawei device, correct?
[23:38] <Scunizi> milostrife: nope.. that's just a quick dirty way to mount what isn't mounted.. you could also look under Places/Computer and find the drive there then right mouse click and choose "mount"
[23:38]  * gbolte notes he probably should have not ran updates
[23:38] <gbolte> Kxx, yeah but the daemon will not even start
[23:38] <gbolte> :/
[23:38] <patrik> Xial, right now i connected through gnome ppp
[23:39] <milostrife> it cant find the drive in places computer :(
[23:39] <Kxx> gbolte: ya i get it :\
[23:39] <Scunizi> milostrife: is it a sata or ide.. or external usb
[23:39] <patrik> Xial, i tried wvdial in terminal before and it didn't work either.
[23:40] <milostrife> ide just formated raw partition
[23:40] <Scunizi> milostrife: what type of file system is it formatted in?
[23:40] <tyler> how do i use remote desktop
[23:40] <BCM34> I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from one computer to throughout a network. Does anybody have any ideas?
[23:40] <gbolte> BCM34, pulse audio
[23:40] <diegodiaz> Can anyone tell me how or where I might be able to find the command to update-mime-database?
[23:40] <gbolte> :)
[23:40] <gbolte> hehe
[23:41] <Scunizi> milostrife: or maybe I should ask.. did you format it personally?
[23:41] <alchemist__> BCM34- VLC
[23:41] <milostrife> thats all it's says raw partion i tried to format it through the live cd but it wouldn't let me
[23:41] <dr_willis> BCM34,  I will admit this orb server thing is nifty. I can watch most all my videos on my Wii or other devices  in a browser  with it. :)
[23:41] <milostrife> no first time i tried to was through the live cd and it wouldn't let me
[23:41] <Scunizi> milostrife: ok.. do you have ubuntu installed at this point? or are you only using the live cd?
[23:41] <diegodiaz> i just know that I accidentally added a rule forcing r04 packages to be seen as text files..
[23:41] <dr_willis> BCM34,  for just audio - theres also the shoutcast server clones out.
[23:42] <milostrife> installed on primary hdd wanting to add another one for possible duel boot
[23:42] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: why cant you right click the file, and change it in the options?
[23:42] <dr_willis> danbh_intrepid,  i sort of mentioned that earlier.. but i dont think it heard me. :)
[23:42] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: 'properties' to be specific
[23:42] <Xial> patrik, I must admit, I'm a tad baffled here. since its acting a little daft, would you mind simply disconnecting the Huawei device, and attempting to redial it?
[23:43] <lw0x15> hey, does anyone know whats the thing called which can display system info ?
[23:43] <Scunizi> milostrife: ok.. open a console/terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) and type .. sudo apt-get install gparted
[23:43] <danbh_intrepid> dr_willis: maybe its time to /ignore  : P
[23:43] <dr_willis> danbh_intrepid,  I would of just used the command line and been done with it...
[23:43] <diegodiaz> you can change what the file opens with, but if the file is seen as another type of file your file is locked.
[23:43] <patrik> Xial, ofc. Might lose connection, i did that last time, so if I disappear it's not because I'm unthankful
[23:44] <lw0x15> hey, does anyone know whats the thing called which can display system info ?
[23:44] <jescis> where's inittab in ubuntu?
[23:44] <dr_willis> diegodiaz,  its very likely the file is currupted then. or missnamed, or other wise messed up
[23:44] <milostrife> thats installed
[23:44] <jrib> !upstart > jescis
[23:44] <Xial> patrik, if it fails, I'll try to think of something else, as long as you can reconnect. :)
[23:44] <erUSUL> jescis: there is none
[23:44] <jrib> jescis: upstart docs should talk about that
[23:44] <Scunizi> milostrife: let me know when it's done installing.. when addressing me type the first couple/three characters of my nick and hit TAB. it will auto complete. Using my nick with a message will "ding" me.
[23:44] <dr_willis> diegodiaz,  i have some .cbr files that are actually missnamed .cbz files, and it confuses things.
[23:44] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: maybe the file you have is corrupt.  mime types arent based on the extension, but rather the content of the file
[23:44] <patrik> Xial, it failed again, same error message
[23:45] <kinetic> lw0x15: System->Administration->System MOnitor its the left most tab
[23:45] <lw0x15> hey, does anyone know whats the thing called which can display system info ?
[23:45] <lw0x15> kinetic: do you know the command line
[23:45] <diegodiaz> i got all of that guys, dr. willis and danbh.. but I did change it in properties, that is "open with" but a text file wont open with archive manager.. I messed it up during an online snafu, you got it that time doc..
[23:45] <kinetic> no
[23:45] <lw0x15> :<
[23:45] <BCM34> dr_willis: thanks, it does look cool
[23:45] <patrik> Xial, why is it trying to connect to suse.de?
[23:45] <Scunizi> milostrife: ok.. now that it's installed go to System/Admin/Partition Editor
[23:45] <danbh_intrepid> lw0x15: what info are you looking for?
[23:45] <lw0x15> danbh_intrepid: i had this small app which displayed system info like hdd space
[23:45] <lw0x15> uptime
[23:45] <lw0x15> etc ram usage
[23:45] <lw0x15> proccesses
[23:45] <dr_willis> BCM34,  yea. Its a little sluggish over wireless here.. and the vbideo aint that great.. but Im watching  old tv shows anyway :)
[23:45] <diegodiaz> right danbh
[23:45] <lw0x15> and cant remember the name
[23:45] <milostrife> Scunizi, done
[23:46] <danbh_intrepid> lw0x15: ah, thats a system monitor kinda app
[23:46] <dr_willis> BCM34,  not sure if they got a orb for linux yet. :) checking that now.
[23:46] <lw0x15> yeah
[23:46] <diegodiaz> errr right lw0x15
[23:46] <Kxx> gbolte: guess what i messed up mine too :)
[23:46] <danbh_intrepid> lw0x15: top will give you some of that
[23:46] <jescis> jrib, upstart? hhmmm -- is that for the server too?
[23:46] <Xial> patrik, I can only surmise that there's some sort of a misconfiguration. I made a silly assumption earlier that suse.de was something to do with your mobile provider. :)
[23:46] <gbolte> Kxx, did you run updates?
[23:47]  * chalcedony smiles
[23:47] <Xial> (Not enough caffeine yet, today. :D)
[23:47] <diegodiaz> so how did you solve your issue lw?
[23:47] <Scunizi> milostrife: nice.. it highlight the line :) .. ok with partition editor open you should be able to change the drive with the pull down box in the upper right.  They are labeled /dev/sda or /dev/sdb
[23:47] <Kxx> gbolte: i killed the daemon pulseaudio -k
[23:47] <chalcedony> if my email attachments to yahoo mail are going to someplace called 'tmp' .. how can i get them to upload to someone else?
[23:47] <Scunizi> milostrife: since it's the secondary drive it's probably sdb.. in the lower portion of the box they should also be listed.
[23:47] <patrik> Xial, no... guessing it has something to do with suse, the dist? Anyways I'm using Tre in sweden
[23:48] <Kxx> gbolte: now can't seem it get it up again, I am assuming everything's gonna be fine on a restart :)
[23:48] <milostrife> it's only come upwith sda 1,2,5
[23:48] <gbolte> Kxx, hope so
[23:48] <gbolte> :/
[23:48] <milostrife> Scunizi,  it's only come upwith sda 1,2,5
[23:48] <formode> Hello everyone, I am having Issues with Ubuntu.. I keep getting random reboots, can anyone help? I know it is not hardware related.
[23:49] <Scunizi> milostrife: they should be labeled under "Mountpoint"  .. tell me the labels
[23:49] <Awsoonn> I have a B43 based wireless card, and it can see the nearby networks, but cannot connect. How can I get connected?
[23:49] <milostrife> Scunizi, found it sorry clicked on wrong tab it's saying unallicated for partition and filesystem
[23:49] <giggsey> Right, I've got ndiswrapper configured, wicd and the built in network manager can detect my wireless, and scan for networks. However, it refuses to connect to my network, and in /var/log/messages, it ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. Any ideas how I can get on the web?
[23:49] <tyler> Everytime i try to use the remote desktop i always get "unable to resolve host by name connection timed out (110)?
[23:49] <formode> Hello everyone, I am having Issues with Ubuntu.. I keep getting random reboots, can anyone help? I know it is not hardware related.
[23:49] <Kxx> gbolte: can you check whether you have pulseaudio configured to run at startup, prbbaly using sthing like bootup-manager etc
[23:50] <dr_willis> tyler,  connect via the ip, not the hostname. perhaps.
[23:50] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: were you the problem with mime types?
[23:50] <tyler> dr_willis: Okay
[23:50] <Scunizi> milostrife: ok.. you can highlight it then click the "New" button
[23:50] <Xial> patrik, I'm drawing blanks, unfortunately. I don't quite know enough to figure that out. :(
[23:50] <gbolte> Kxx, well I just restarted pulseaudio from the command line and was able to connect to it
[23:50] <gbolte> thats a start
[23:50] <gbolte> let me see if I get audio
[23:50] <gbolte> :D
[23:51] <Kxx> gbolte: :)
[23:51] <diegodiaz> here's the issue in a nutshell dr. willis.. straight from properties: ftp-natgeoafganherthelostwar.r04=application/x-extension-r04 yep Danbh..
[23:51] <milostrife> Scunizi,  ok i've got options now for create as and file system but say i want to install windows on it what should i choose for filesystem?
[23:51] <drkibi> Can anyone tell me if a cron makes up for lost time? For instance: if I run an hourly backup script at every even hour, and work from 1:10 to 1:50 and resume at 2:10, will the cronjob for 2:00 be run?
[23:51] <patrik> Xial, thanks anyway ;) This "works out of the box"-thingy they call it isn't always that easy. Guess you need to find the right box...
[23:52] <Scunizi> milostrife: question first.. do you already have windows install on the other drive? or only Ubuntu?
[23:52] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2952926&postcount=4
[23:52] <dr_willis> patrik,  thats how apple makes everything seem to work so  smoothly. :)  they limit the box's
[23:52] <gbolte> nope no sound
[23:52] <gbolte> :/
[23:52] <milostrife> i have ubuntu on this one but am thinkin of running windows on second hdd aswell
[23:53] <patrik> dr_willis, sad but true
[23:53] <diegodiaz> I just wanna say thanks again dan and doc.. this is my first time in irc.. you guys have been patient..\
[23:53] <dr_willis> milostrife,  you could unplug the ubnut hd.  install windows to the other hd.. replug them both in.. and make ubuntu boot the 2nd hd.. (or use the bios menus to boot it) 0
[23:53] <patrik> dr_willis, they also make them all shiny and white, so you see them easily ;)
[23:53] <diegodiaz> thanks dan..
[23:53] <Kxx> gbolte: sudo netstat -tulapn | grep LIST ?
[23:53] <dr_willis> milostrife,  you are refering to having 2 seperate hard drives.. Not just a c: and D:  which can be on the same drive...
[23:53] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: did it work?
[23:54] <Xial> patrik, hopefully this won't discourage you too much. :) I know the cards are a pain to set up, and I was kind of dreading setting up my pantech today.
[23:54] <milostrife> Scunizi,  well i tried that after i couldn't install straight off but it wouldn't detect it for some reason
[23:54] <Scunizi> milostrife: ok.. then you've got other things to do to make it work.. The windows install cd will create and format the HD for you but will mess up the linux Grub boot loader.. that will have to be fixed after a win install. Are you installing so you can play games or do other things.?
[23:54] <gbolte> hmm
[23:54] <gbolte> well its there listening
[23:54] <diegodiaz> don't know yet, working it..
[23:54] <dr_willis> patrik,  i toyed with them in the store.,, they seem... very.. cheaply made/the keyboards/laptops sort of bend as you type.. :) i will pass on apple for now
[23:55] <davidguest> right guys i rang fasthosts and they said i had to use iptables  i have not used that beofre to open port 6667
[23:55] <davidguest> can anyone show me how to use that program
[23:55] <milostrife> Scunizi,  well some games that aren't compatible with ubuntu but some other things as well like python
[23:55] <formode> Hello everyone, I am having Issues with Ubuntu.. I keep getting random reboots, can anyone help? I know it is not hardware related.
[23:55] <jrib> davidguest: if you are using ubuntu, no iptables are set by default.  what is the output of 'sudo iptables -L'?
[23:55] <drkibi> Does anyone know if the crontab "resumes" after a shutdown? :)
[23:55] <danbh_intrepid> formode: are you fully uptodate?
[23:56] <dr_willis> drkibi,  it  might see that date has gotten moved ahead and catch up on the missed jobs.
[23:56] <jrib> danbh_intrepid: s/iptables/iptables rules
[23:56] <jescis> jrib, How do I change the settings with upstart? Like adding tty's or other tasks?
[23:56] <jrib> jescis: that's in the docs
[23:56] <jrib> !pm | davidguest
[23:56] <dr_willis> drkibi,  or it may not. :)  if it did try to catch up.. that could cause a nasty mess when you set your time/date
[23:56] <jrib> !pmdavidguest >
[23:56] <jrib> !pm > davidguest
[23:56] <patrik> Xial, I just installed ubuntu on my new laptop, having had XP on the desktop before since I never really made friends with linux and wireless before. It really did work out of the box, even bluetooth worked... I made som major failures with earlier versions of ubuntu, fedora and gentoo on my old laptop
[23:57] <Scunizi> milostrife: python runs in Ubuntu.. if the games need direct x then you'll definitely have to install Win the normal way. Another way to do this without borking Grub is to disconnect the ubuntu drive and leave the secondary. Install windows, reconnect Ubuntu drive and then use the bios to switch between them or update grub to include a line to list windows on boot.
[23:57] <danbh_intrepid> davidguest: can you paste the results of netstat -l ?
[23:57] <drkibi> dr_willis: Hmm, true, thanks for the info :). I'll just expirement with it then :)
[23:57] <patrik> dr_willis, true. But at least they are expensive
[23:57] <jrib> davidguest: sorry.  I didn't mean to spam you with !pm :)  Use paste.ubuntu.com to paste
[23:57] <milostrife> Scunizi,  pref do the update grub line to include both
[23:58] <dr_willis> drkibi,  i think it just skips the missed ones.
[23:58] <danbh_intrepid> davidguest: actually, can we take this to #ubuntu-server    Im curious what the people there have to say
[23:58] <davidguest> how do i send that my irc client only alows 27 lines
[23:58] <DasEi> !grub > milostrife
[23:58] <jrib> davidguest: use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[23:58] <Scunizi> milostrife: thought so.. still easier to pull the drive on install then fix grub post-facto
[23:58] <Xial> patrik, that's one of the great things -- I had a similar experience (since I am admittedly a windows user who is dabbling bit by bit on this side of the line) with this laptop. Never did test the wi-fi, since I don't use a wireless router. :)
[23:59] <patrik> My e220 connects and receives an IP, but can't seem to connect to the DNS. Trying for some reason to connect to suse.de. Any ideas?
[23:59] <DasEi> milostrife : also a very good tool for recreating grub is the super-grub cd (google it)
[23:59] <milostrife> Scunizi,  ?? that kinda wen over my head still rather new with ubuntu
[23:59] <Scunizi> milostrife: did you get the private message that DasEi sent you on grub?  It's worth bookmarking
[23:59] <milostrife> Scunizi,  yeah i just loading :)
[23:59] <diegodiaz> hey dan, it looks like there should be an argument for that particular command.. I am using hardy, might it have changed in context from that post?


[00:44] <JanC> either that or you need something else inside the X session which you can trigger to start the application

[13:13] <cmaloney> morning
[13:38] <_stink_> yo
[13:50] <cmaloney> How's the morning so far?
[13:53] <_stink_> well
[13:53] <_stink_> i had a lucid dream
[13:53] <_stink_> and instead of flying or becoming a dinosaur
[13:54] <_stink_> i ignored my family and stayed in bed
[13:54] <_stink_> in my dream
[13:54] <_stink_> i feel like that's illustrative
[13:56] <cmaloney> Hah
[13:57] <cmaloney> Are you sure it was a dream?
[13:58] <_stink_> well no one is mad at me
[13:58] <cmaloney> I show you how to create 100's per day using a
[13:58] <cmaloney> calculator designed for FAP.
[13:58] <_stink_> sign me up
[13:58] <cmaloney> Pretty sure I'm not reading this the way they intend
[13:59] <rick_h_> morning
[14:02] <cmaloney> How goes?
[14:02] <cmaloney> Getting ready to don the cape and go to town?
[14:02] <rick_h_> trying to get all packed up
[14:02] <rick_h_> yea, two more calls and car heads out 12:30
[14:02] <cmaloney> Wow
[14:03] <rick_h_> but got my new travel backpack and managed to fit everything in
[14:03] <cmaloney> Hoping for some moments of sanity in between
[14:03] <cmaloney> Just don't bring anything back. :)
[14:03] <rick_h_> heh, I get in Sat night, sunday taking a tour
[14:03] <rick_h_> hah
[14:03] <rick_h_> well I've got these travel wine bottle holder thingies so I can bring a few bottles of wine back
[14:03] <cmaloney> That's all that matters.
[14:03] <rick_h_> yep
[14:06] <jrwren> rick_h_: if you see ninja and/or yolani, bring me back an autograph?  (because I'm american and believe they must just hang out on south african street corners like in their videos)    :)
[14:07] <rick_h_> jrwren: lol, I'll see what I can do
[14:07] <jrwren> also, cape town and johanasburg are the same thing. :)
[14:07] <rick_h_> no no no
[14:07] <rick_h_> :P
[14:07] <cmaloney> They're not?
[14:08] <rick_h_> though I've only been in johanasburg airport and not the city :P
[14:08] <rick_h_> but I'll never fly into that airport again so I have to believe it's different
[14:08] <cmaloney> bad neighborhood?
[14:10] <rick_h_> just aweful neighborhood
[14:13] <cmaloney> Big city awful?
[14:13] <rick_h_> bah, sorry awful airport
[14:13] <rick_h_> it's not clear, impossible to get around
[14:13] <rick_h_> nothing there
[14:14] <cmaloney> Ah, fun fun
[14:17] <jrwren> cmaloney: have you seen district 9?  awful city!
[14:17] <jrwren> cmaloney: or Chappie for that matter :p
[14:17] <cmaloney> Funnily enough I have the DVD ready to watch
[14:17] <cmaloney> from Netflix
[14:17] <jrwren> yes, I'm basing all my johanasburg knowledge on movies.
[14:17] <cmaloney> Can't convince JoDee to watch it though so I have to find some time to watch it
[14:17] <jrwren> Chappie or D9?
[14:18] <cmaloney> jrwren: Everyone else bases their knowledge of the USA off of movies so why should we be different
[14:18] <cmaloney> D9
[14:18] <jrwren> ha! I never thought of it that way.
[14:18] <jrwren> D9 is a solid action movie.
[15:08] <cmaloney> We live in interesting times where a laptop's external device can be a card cage with full-height video cards.

[01:29] <ov3rwatch> Hi all. Appears I was banned from ubuntu-offtopic and I have no idea why.
[01:29] <ov3rwatch> Anyone know if this is the case and if so what I may have done wrong?
[01:31] <Flannel> ov3rwatch: Hi.  #ubuntu-offtopic is currently set +r, which means you need to be identified with nickserv to join.  I don't see any bans that would match you, so once you sort that out, you should be able to join just fine.
[01:31] <Flannel> !register
[01:32] <Flannel> (or /msg nickserv help register  )
[01:32] <ov3rwatch> Hmm I am registered :/ I have to Ident to even use my nic
[01:32] <ov3rwatch> You just mean Ident on freebies not with Ubuntu? It suddenly kicked me last night and I've been unable to rejoin.
[01:33] <ov3rwatch> *freenode
[01:33] <Flannel> You're on freenode right now
[01:33] <Flannel> ov3rwatch: Right now, you are not identified with nickserv, however.
[01:34] <ov3rwatch> Hmm strange. Well good to know I haven't been banned. I guess il try to Ident again and rejoin! Thanks for the info
[03:15] <bazhang> root plex wunderbar
[03:15] <bazhang> plex is some adobe product i s it not
