[13:23] <Odd-rationale> Is there a way to install needed restricted drivers from the command line? Thanks!
[13:23] <Da_Putzler> no idea why it didnt upgrade... might try it again, but scared it'll do the same thing
[13:23] <heogen> jrib for example in windows i connect my pc to tv
[13:24] <heogen> jrib in ubuntu can i to connect with a key or a normal step in the system?
[13:25] <jrib> heogen: for nvidia cards you must edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or use the nvidia-settings tool, that's all I know about it
[13:25] <heogen> jrib or is different the connection depend of the card
[13:26] <DOOM_NX> changes in .asoundrc don't seem to have effect
[13:26] <heogen> jrib ok thank you
[13:27] <omar> How can I view the source code for Ubuntu?
[13:28] <jrib> !source > omar (read the private message from ubotu)
[13:29] <vatzec> hey there lads, I have a server which I administrate via SSH but the pain is that it's connected via wireless so connection drops occur from time to time, I'm trying to make it perform a check every 5 mins, I've already posted a thread at the Ubuntu forums, but it seems that any topic older than 10 mins with no replies is forgotten (the amount of messages posted it overwhelming), here's the thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725364
[13:29] <Kynlem> Is there a way to assign a background to a particular desktop in Gnome?
[13:29] <jrib> Kynlem: if you use compiz-fusion, it's an option for the cube.  If you don't, check out "wallpapoz" (google it)
[13:30] <VentusIgnis> How can I reset my video driver back to vesa?  I installed the wrong driver and now the GUI is useless.
[13:30] <jrib> !xconfig > VentusIgnis (read the private message from ubotu)
[13:30] <jrib> VentusIgnis: what driver are you trying to install by the way?
[13:31] <freeman163> is there a way to burn a large  iso ile to multiple dvd's?
[13:32] <minimec> VentusIgnis: <ctrl>alt><F1> --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will give you a 'console-configuration-wizard'.
[13:32] <davedorm> yeah
[13:32] <vatzec> freeman163: I believe that you have to split the files into multiple dirs and then burn 'em
[13:32] <davedorm> that did not work as planned
[13:32] <patrickStarFish> is osp.ir good?
[13:32] <freeman163> hmm, ok.
[13:32] <ibbuntu> I couldn't boot the gutsy live CD yesterday, so I downloaded Hardy Alpha 6. This still wouldn't boot, so I used the boot options - noapic acpi=off and it booted, but the screen has scrolling blocks of horizontal lines all over it. The computer has a unichrome graphics driver. What should I do next?
[13:32] <davedorm> ok, so I booted to a livecd
[13:32] <vatzec> I might be wrong though
[13:32] <jrib> davedorm: keep what you say on one line please
[13:33] <davedorm> but it does not see the installation
[13:33] <VentusIgnis> thanks
[13:33] <jrib> davedorm: you need to mount the partition your installation is on.  Was the device your partition is on not listed in 'sudo fdisk -l'?
[13:33] <patrickStarFish> what's the alternative for sourceForge? for open source project hosting
[13:34] <davedorm> lemme look... please stand by
[13:34] <jrib> patrickStarFish: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[13:34] <patrickStarFish> sorry
[13:34] <patrickStarFish> jrib, any channel for me?
[13:34] <jrib> patrickStarFish: #ubuntu-offtopic is a channel, you are welcomed there

[13:38] <davedorm> jrib:  ok, I think I have it, I tried mounting the drive, and running chroot, but it still did not seem to work right... wonder what I am doing wrong?
[13:39] <jrib> davedorm: pastebin exactly what you type and the output
[13:39] <davedorm> I can't
[13:39] <davedorm> it's on a KVM

[13:40] <Sybux> hi all
[13:40] <davedorm> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 (I made the dir first)

[13:40] <davedorm> then sudo chroot /media/sda1
[13:41] <davedorm> and it looked like it worked but nothing changed
[13:41] <Sybux> I'm getting issue with duplex mode of my ethernet card. Can some help me to force it to full
[13:41] <robboplus> dear folks
[13:41] <jrib> davedorm: now run 'sudo passwd root'
[13:41] <robboplus> is there a way to omit a connection limit of 1000 in ubuntu?
[13:42] <robboplus> it seems to be 1000 or 1024
[13:42] <robboplus> ulimit says unlimited though
[13:42] <crdlb> robboplus: there is no limit
[13:42] <crdlb> err
[13:42] <davedorm> ok, did that, rebooting back into my installation, stand by for results
[13:42] <crdlb> robboplus: nm, I misread your question :)
[13:42] <robboplus> crdlb ok :)
[13:43] <jrib> davedorm: yeah, I guess the "sudo" wasn't needed there since you were root

[13:44] <ubotu> Ashex, Sybux: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[13:44] <minimec> Sybux: That could be difficult. I had such kind of problems years ago with old ISA cards. There was only a DOS-tool to configure these cards. I had to boot a basic DOS with a floppy disk.
[13:44] <n2diy> I bought 10 SD cards, 8 of them work in my camera, and I can read/copy them to my Dapper box. The other 2 work in the camera, but Dapper says they aren't initialized? They are all Sandisk 32m cards.
[13:44] <davedorm> very cool, I am in
[13:44] <davedorm> thanks, gents
[13:45] <Sybux> minimec: it's seems that the problem is link to ubuntu as I can see in the dmesg log
[13:45] <jetscreamer> initialized is where you write a signature to the partition or disk, iirc
[13:45] <minimec> Sybux: Can you 'pastebin' us your dmesg output?
[13:45] <IsotropicSpin> Does it usually take years to extract a multithreaded .rar using archive manager?
[13:45] <jetscreamer> see what fdisk can do for you
[13:46] <jetscreamer> if anything
[13:46] <IsotropicSpin> is there a faster program?
[13:46] <jrib> IsotropicSpin: it does not usually take years, but it can be a few minutes depending on the file
[13:46] <Sybux> minimec : you can have a look here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59815/

[13:50] <GuiPoli> guys, I'm running ubuntu from live CD, and every time I want to run it, I have to reinstall a few programs I use.
[13:50] <GuiPoli> a couple of days ago I read something about installing them into a pen-drive, so I could run it even using live CD.
[13:50] <GuiPoli> what happens is that I can't remember where I read that. do you have any info about it?
[13:50] <jrib> !enter | GuiPoli
[13:50] <ubotu> GuiPoli: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[13:50] <cannon> i can't play music because I get "Mixer cannot be found" ... how can I fix it?
[13:50] <jrib> GuiPoli: if there is nothing there, google "pen drive linux"
[13:50] <Sybux> minimec : ok you think (at a good sence) that the best choice I got it to change my ethernet card. I will have a look at my garage !
[13:52] <minimec> Sybux: That would be the easiest thing...
[13:52] <R3belS> When go out ubuntu 8.04 ?

[13:54] <R3belS> the 4 april 2008
[13:54] <R3belS> go out the new ubuntu ?
[13:54] <minimec> cannon: Found your question. Try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base' in a terminal
[13:55] <cannon> ta
[13:55] <cannon> what next?
[13:56] <cannon> ya think i need a reboot minimec?
[13:58] <minimec> cannon: No reboot normally
[13:58] <cannon> in that case it;s still not working
[13:59] <minimec> cannon: After you configured alsa open gstreamer-properties and try to play around in the audio section.
[13:59] <cannon> k
[13:59] <jetscreamer> [07.59.24] <dpkg> from memory, alsa-checklist is 1) run alsaconf as root user 2) add your user to the 'audio' group (log out and log again in) 3) use alsamixer and make sure levels are up and it is unmuted 4) arts or esound stopped? 5) OSS modules unloaded? 6) speakers on? 7) modprobe snd-pcm-oss  8) does `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp` work for root?

[14:09] <minimec> Swany1234: I guess you work with the restricted driver for your x600. Try to use the Configuration GUI of your 'fglrx' driver
[14:09] <jimmygoon> Where do I edit the gtk to shrink the height of my menu items?
[14:09] <Swany1234> BobSlob mimimec: i've tried the configuration but it wont let me configure the tv out
[14:10] <BobSlob> Swany1234: i'm still a newb... but all i did was plug both in =P
[14:10] <BobSlob> used envy to install the drivers
[14:10] <minimec> cannon: Do you still have the same problem? No success with gstreamer-properties?
[14:10] <IsotropicSpin> tekteen the CD i just burnt now says "Invalid mount volumne" when I try to insert it in the drive

[14:11] <Swany1234> i did but envy doesn't fix it
[14:11] <cannon> i get errors with that app minimec
[14:11] <minimec> cannon: What errors?
[14:11] <cannon> when i load it through terminal it tells me about 10 plugins are missing
[14:11] <tekteen> IsotropicSpin: what does file <ISO FILE> say
[14:11] <cannon> then if I click test in the app I also get an error

[14:12] <Fireball> what should I use for a server - 6.06 LTS, or newest 7.10 (but not LTS) ?
[14:12] <tekteen> Fireball: depends on what you want
[14:13] <Fireball> what LTS does *not* give to me?
[14:13] <tekteen> Fireball: I would suggest waiting for Hardy which is LTS
[14:13] <minimec> cannon: Ahh ;) I cannot help you with kubuntu. Gstreamer is the gnome sound server. I think you can use it in kde too. You have to find a KDE-user ...
[14:13] <Fireball> will I be able to somehow seemlessly upgrade to Hardy from Dapper?
[14:13] <IsotropicSpin> tekteen whats the command I enter before the file name to do that?

[14:33] <Bad_boy> HI guys, I have a problem. My automatic updates ain't working, always failure to install. I used to package manager too, it is saying failure to install
[14:34] <waylandbill> how does one erase a cd-rw?
[14:34] <riba1> waylandbill: open the cd and delete the files I think
[14:34] <unenough> how do i find out the license of a package?
[14:35] <anton55> what cd burning tool are you using
[14:35] <waylandbill> anton55: nautilus?
[14:36] <minimec> Bad_boy: 'sudo apt-get update' -> 'sudo apt-get upgrade' in a terminal. If apt-get fails, it probably gives you a solution also... Let's see.
[14:36] <InspectorCluseau> does ubuntu have k3b?
[14:36] <anton55> try right clicking the icon if it on desktop or use like k3b or gnomebaker cd creating tool
[14:37] <waylandbill> InspectorCluseau: no. kubuntu has k3b.
[14:37] <kris_ph> ows.. I can't really find the favicon
[14:37] <InspectorCluseau> oh...yeah....
[14:37] <Bad_boy> minimec: thanks : here the result Reading package lists... Done

[14:37] <anton55> k3b can be installed on ubuntu via sym pak man
[14:37] <kristopher> I need to back up my system that has some pretty large files on it.  Is there any program that will split 2 Gig files into easily burnable 700mb files?
[14:38] <kristopher> or anything thatĺl fit on a cd for that matter.
[14:38] <waylandbill> anton55: sure it can, but I can't imagine ubuntu doesn't have a means without needing additional software.
[14:39] <minimec> Bad_boy: Looks that you have a running apt-get or synaptic process... Kill that process or restart your machine.
[14:40] <Bad_boy> minimec: shall restart see you in a sec
[14:40] <minimec> Bad_boy: ok
[14:40] <kristopher> Sorta like the way rar splits it into 8mb chunks
[14:41] <robertchahine> is there matlab for ubuntu?
[14:41] <_zed> is anyone else having problems with the deskbar-applet on gutsy
[14:41] <quaal> how do i get ubuntu to forget the last cd that was in the drive. it continues to think that the cd that was in the drive 2 days ago is still there. it will not let me burn discs because of this
[14:42] <kristopher> quall did you umount it properly? if so, swearing normally helps
[14:42] <_zed> the deskbar-applet keeps crashing on me, and I can't compile a newer version because it asks for dependencies i know i have.
[14:42] <mitch_> Hey I'm running a mbp and useing madwifi for my wireless card (airport extrerem a/b/g) and i can see wireless networks but for the life of me I can not get an ip. Some help would be great!
[14:44] <riba1> mitch: sometimes u have to specify the SSID, channel and make
[14:44] <sixpence> What command can I run to see what flavor of Ubnuntu is running on the machine I am currently on?
[14:44] <riba1> sure suthentication is not set worng in the default

[14:45] <dkd903> mitch_ laptop make n model?
[14:45] <brobostigon> tekteen: uname will only show the kernel version, not the ubuntu version
[14:45] <mitch_> macbook pro
[14:45] <waylandbill> I guess "cdrecord blank=all" would do it.
[14:45] <tekteen> brobostigon: ok
[14:46] <riba1> brobostigon: then he can match the kernel to the distro v :)
[14:46] <brobostigon> riba1: lsb_release will do that.
[14:46] <tekteen> I just look in sources.list
[14:46] <riba1> ok, disabled all ipv6 to see if my internet is a little faster
[14:47] <riba1> remember that it used to fly
[14:47] <minimec> Bad_boy: Oups... There is a problem with the gthumb package. Are you on 'gutsy' or 'hardy'?
[14:47] <minimec> !pastebin > Bad_boy
[14:47] <Bad_boy> minimec: GUTSY 64
[14:47] <mitch_> dkd903 do you have any ideas
[14:47] <riba1> thing I don't get is that sidux has ipv6 enabled and it's faster
[14:48] <riba1> I mean, internet is
[14:48] <dagnachew> hi all
[14:48] <dagnachew>  I have file1.mkv file2.mkv file3.mkv .... and I want to join them to have just one file.mkv how can I do it ?
[14:48] <Bad_boy> minimec: !pastebin, what's this
[14:49] <anton55> copy and paste 2 and 3 into 1?
[14:49] <brobostigon> !pastebin | Bad_boy
[14:49] <ubotu> Bad_boy: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[14:49] <dkd903> mitch_: sorry man, no ideas about macbook, i mean i hv worked on a macbook before but never tried a linux distro on it
[14:49] <tekteen> dagnachew: I think the program mkvmerge does that
[14:49] <tekteen> dagnachew: it comes with a gui too!
[14:49] <minimec> Bad_boy: pastebin allows you to paste command results or so without pasting evrythung in the chat #channel. Not evryone wants to read your 'apt-get problems ;)
[14:49] <Bad_boy> sorry chaps, i did not know about pastebin
[14:50] <robertchahine> does anybody have matlab working on ubuntu?
[14:50] <mitch_> what would you do if it was another kind of laptop
[14:50] <dagnachew> tekteen, mmg right
[14:50] <dagnachew> ?
[14:50] <mitch_> dhclient gives me something about sleeping
[14:50] <tekteen> dagnachew: mmg?
[14:50] <tekteen> dagnachew: what does that mean
[14:50] <minimec> Bad_boy: Did oyu try to uninstall gthumb gefore
[14:50] <dagnachew> the gui
[14:51] <brobostigon> mitch_: i have guutsy on my ibook g3, its powerpc, i believe the macbook is x86, so i could maybe help, but they r eboth very different.
[14:51] <tekteen> sudo apt-get install mkvtoolnix-gui
[14:51] <waylandbill> I guess it was just my fault. When you go to write anything new to the disc, it asks if you want to erase the disc. :-)
[14:51] <Grab> how can i know what is my crontab version ?
[14:52] <Bad_boy> minimec: did not, how do I install Gthumb again, I am a newbie
[14:52] <minimec> Bad_boy: I found something for you... Do 'sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update' in a terminal ... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/10265

[15:03] <anton55> did you try using gpart to see if it shows in there
[15:03] <yeahbuddy> anton55: the computer also has a sata pci card in it but the drive connected to it works fine.. i thought about putting it as primary slave
[15:03] <yeahbuddy> anton55: no
[15:03] <brobostigon> anton55: dont you mean gparted
[15:04] <anton55> yes i mean gparted sorry was just using gpart for short lol

[15:08] <quaal> and right click-ejected it
[15:08] <quaal> bazhang, rosetta stone
[15:08] <quaal> this shit is miserable
[15:08] <bazhang> quaal: and what program are you using to burn?
[15:09] <mitch_> anyone?
[15:09] <threeseas> need to change the root partition (also flaged as boot) but need to get space from an extended partition to do so. two partitions (logical drives?) are in the extended partition. I want to use the last to backup to. is this possible, or does changing the size of the extended partition screw up all its internal partition?
[15:09] <quaal> bazhang, trying to use the gnome burning utility
[15:09] <quaal> whatever its called
[15:09] <quaal> but its not just burning i cant do
[15:09] <quaal> cant look at any cd
[15:09] <bazhang> quaal: brasero? gnomebaker? which one
[15:09] <quaal> unless i put the rosetta cd in
[15:09] <SYNTAX> has snyone found a way to save the GRUB loader for ubuntu while reformatting windows??
[15:09] <quaal> bazhang, rightclick the image and write to disc
[15:10] <quaal> not sure what its called
[15:10] <bazhang> quaal: you have any others installed?
[15:10] <quaal> i have k3b
[15:10] <sk> !svn
[15:10] <ubotu> svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/
[15:10] <SYNTAX> its annoying how windows installation CD actually overwrites the linux GRUB loader
[15:11] <bazhang> quaal: try loading k3b from the command line and post any errors you to pastebin
[15:11] <anton55> gotta put in windows then put ubuntu in windoes don't let ya keep anything but winblows

[15:11] <bazhang> SYNTAX: well that is why we advise to install xp first; there is a link to help with that if you wish
[15:11] <SYNTAX> its annoywing when you have to reformatt windows
[15:12] <Bad_boy> Guys, I have an external 2.5 drive nTFS with all mp3 on it, how can I read that usb external drive with ubuntu
[15:12] <SYNTAX> then you will loose the GRUB loader with linux already being there
[15:12] <jrib> !ntfs > Bad_boy (read the private message from ubotu)
[15:12] <SYNTAX> if you reformat ur windes soy good by to UBUNTU
[15:12] <brobostigon> Bad_boy: just plug it in, and it should automount.
[15:12] <SYNTAX> if you reformat your windows say good bye to UBUNTU
[15:12] <bazhang> SYNTAX: you want the link?
[15:12] <SYNTAX> yes please
[15:13] <ross`> excuse me, what packages do i need to "hack" wireless networks (WEP) (im not using this to hurt or comprimise any system)
[15:13] <jpatrick> ross`: nmap?
[15:13] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows SYNTAX
[15:13] <ross`> O.O
[15:13] <ross`> are you joking?
[15:13] <dako> I have a external harddrive that has a hidden trash folder, can I somehow link to it to empty trash or do I need to just empty it then empty regular trash?
[15:13] <ross`> nmap hacks wireless?
[15:13] <ross`> i had no idea
[15:13] <ross`> jpatrick: i thought nmap scanned for open ports on an ip..
[15:14] <jpatrick> ross`: to find ports ;)
[15:14] <quaal> bazhang, yea k3b seems to be working
[15:14] <quaal> so i'm pretty sure its a gnome failure
[15:14] <quaal> the cd's also show up in terminal
[15:14] <bazhang> quaal: ah okay then use that for now; have you checked launchpad for bugs related to rosetta stone and the situation you are facing?
[15:14] <ross`> jpatrick: im not trying to find open ports
[15:14] <quaal> oh, nope
[15:14] <quaal> it failed
[15:14] <jpatrick> ross`: no idea then
[15:14] <ross`> im trying to hack wireless
[15:15] <quaal> fatal error at startup device or resource busy
[15:15] <bazhang> ross`: we dont support that here
[15:15] <quaal> i really hate gnome
[15:15] <quaal> and nautilus
[15:15] <minimec> quaal: Thunar could be your friend ;)
[15:15] <kalleskaviar> ross`, tried kismet ?
[15:15] <yeahbuddy> anton55: i plugged it as primary slave and it gets seen however it is /dev/sdb   that just doesn't make any sense
[15:15] <bazhang> quaal: that is a shame; if you want help that is one thing--otherwise join #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:15] <KenSentMe> I want to do download a complete directory with command line ftp, but when i do get dirname i get Not a regular file. What am i doing wrong?
[15:15] <quaal> minimec, yea
[15:16] <ross`> kalleskaviar: what is kismet
[15:16] <quaal> been thinking about it
[15:16] <quaal> gnome/nautilus are such miserable failures
[15:16] <anton55> thats cause the 1st drive is /dev/sba
[15:16] <jimmygoon> Can someone please please please help me figure out how to reduce the height of my menu items :( this is very frustrating
[15:16] <quaal> i have to reboot so often because of them
[15:16] <kalleskaviar>  Kismet is a 802.11b wireless network sniffer.  It is capable of sniffing
[15:16] <kalleskaviar>  using almost any supported wireless card using the Airo, HostAP, Wlan-NG,
[15:16] <kalleskaviar>  and Orinoco (with a kernel patch) drivers
[15:16] <akumar__> anyone know how i can copy an 8gb disc?
[15:16] <minimec> quaal: I use thunar in a e17 environment and in gnome ...
[15:16] <akumar__> i have one dtive
[15:16] <quaal> this is the first time i'd have to actually reboot my server because of it though
[15:16] <kalleskaviar> Ehh sorry. that was supposed to be on one line.
[15:16] <ross`> kalleskaviar: um ok..?
[15:17] <ross`> how does it work
[15:17] <theunixgeek> How do I add a virtual hard drive in VMware server?

[15:17] <danbhfive> tbwnoob: go to the wine website
[15:18] <tbwnoob> i thought i could type a command
[15:18] <tbwnoob> in console
[15:18] <brobostigon> Bad_boy: sorry, i forgot the problem??i fell asleep. i had a very bad night.
[15:18] <tbwnoob> i meant terminal

[15:19] <vatzec> oh, so he was kicked/banned?
[15:19] <Bad_boy> brobostigon: no it does
[15:19] <danbhfive> tbwnoob: do you know how to update your software in general?
[15:20] <anton55> if it's showing up then al you need is to monut it
[15:20] <brobostigon> Bad_boy: what does dmesg, lsusb, and df -h, say when its plugged in??
[15:20] <tbwnoob> sudo apt-get install wine
[15:20] <tbwnoob> maybe that
[15:20] <danbhfive> tbwnoob: that installs wine

[15:21] <Exaltia> I still search for something like krfb but working as soon as X start, for controling the current X session, not a new one
[15:22] <minimec> Bad_boy: 'sudo apt-get install libntfs-3g12 libntfs-3g16'
[15:22] <brobostigon> Bad_boy: run dmesg, then, lsusb, and then df -h,  and then pastebin the results,run those after you have plugged it in.

[15:29] <AutoMatriX> Hi folks, I'd like to sync my Nokia 6610 cellphone with Evolution, I googled all nite long, I tried a good part of the mornig, but no luck, I did not succeed
[15:29] <Bad_boy> minimec: Couldn't find package libntfs-3g16
[15:30] <amenado> tbwnoob-> noacpi  acpi=off  during boot
[15:30] <soulc> so I moved my mouse to deactivate the screen-saver and when the desktop refreshed no eyecandy........
[15:30] <tbwnoob> how do i do that during boot
[15:30] <tbwnoob> when glob is loading
[15:30] <minimec> Bad_boy: 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g' That should do it probably.
[15:31] <azuki> hi all
[15:31] <tbwnoob> should i use my ati card in edubunto?
[15:32] <azuki> I am trying to work in MilkyTracker... yet, linux doesn't let milkeytracker override the ALT-F4 and f5 buttons.. is there a way to let it do that?
[15:32] <azuki> or is there another FT2 clone for linux?
[15:33] <Bad_boy> minimec: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59824/

[15:34] <Bad_boy> brobostigon: thanks anyway
[15:34] <minimec> Bad_boy: Well I guess I can't help you further with ntfs because I don't have any ntfs partitions.
[15:35] <Bad_boy> minimec: Thanks a lot chaps for trying

[15:37] <Arelis> Rebooting didn't fix it

[15:38] <azuki> arelis: you could try disconnecting all USB devices and rebooting... that onetime helped me with a slowdown
[15:39] <azuki> Arelis: if you have any connected ofcourse :)
[15:40] <dako> I have a external harddrive that has a hidden trash folder, can I somehow link to it to empty trash or do I need to just empty it then empty regular trash?

[15:54] <bazhang> akumar__: what iso
[15:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixapt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:54] <tbwnoob> you might have to burn on and make the second bootable
[15:54] <LjL> !aptfix
[15:54] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[15:54] <SYNTAX> try using magic iso
[15:54] <stefano> plux, please assure me a second time before i spent so much money :-)
[15:54] <Stormx2> Hiya. I have a public/private key pair. I'm ensured my public key is set up on a remote server I want to ssh to. However I can't seem to get my local machine to ask for my passphrase for my key rather than the remote account's password when I try to ssh. I'm sure there's something I need to do to tie the host in with my key, but I don't know what...
[15:54] <SYNTAX> and mount the iso file
[15:54] <faileas> thanks
[15:54] <Exaltia> tbwnoob, 4,7Gb for the standart one
[15:55] <Exaltia> almost the doubel for dual layer
[15:55] <akumar__> its a 8gb dl disc....
[15:55] <grizlo42> hi, i was trying to set up an apache server
[15:55] <SYNTAX> you can also use a external hardrive that will act as a iso
[15:55] <minimec> Bad_boy: Easy and somehow 'dirty' way to mount your harddisk... 'sudo mount -a' (mount all)
[15:55] <grizlo42> and i can view it from my network
[15:55] <patogen> Is there some good way to add multiple workspaces from a screenshot to one picture?
[15:55] <SYNTAX> so you can load your 8gb
[15:55] <SYNTAX> as an iso file
[15:55] <grizlo42> but i don´t know if it works on others
[15:55] <akumar__> wait how
[15:55] <akumar__> i just made an image
[15:55] <akumar__> from the disc
[15:55] <patogen> Like workspace 1 and 2 screenshot in 1024x768 to a 2048x768 image?
[15:55] <SYNTAX> yes
[15:55] <akumar__> put i my empty disc
[15:55] <brobostigon> mad_max02: theres to partitons on it, sdb1 and sdb5 , look up the mount docs on help.ubuntu.com,
[15:55] <FloodBot1> akumar__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:55] <Stormx2> grizlo42: You mean see if it is visible from the internet?
[15:55] <SYNTAX> use MAGIC ISO
[15:55] <akumar__> now what...
[15:56] <grizlo42> stormx2: yeah
[15:56] <SYNTAX> if you have a 8gig or higher hardvie
[15:56] <bazhang> akumar__: where did you get the iso from
[15:56] <akumar__> where cna i get magic iso from....
[15:56] <Stormx2> grim76, you don't know if it is, or you know it's not?
[15:56] <SYNTAX> mount it into it using the magic iso
[15:56] <akumar__> bazhang, my dvd that i wanted to copy
[15:56] <SYNTAX> it will reformat that drive
[15:56] <SYNTAX> as if it were that iso file
[15:56] <Typhox> Which is my standard-Display in "--display=x"?
[15:56] <Kate_mins> hello, i am trying to install some software for ubuntu from the terminal but i get an error msg : "No package 'glib-2.0' not found" ? what should i do ?(i am new to ubuntu-terminal)
[15:56] <SYNTAX> thas how my friend did it in MAC OSX
[15:57] <manuel_> tbwnoob, try gnu parted. http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/index.shtml
[15:57] <Stormx2> Kate_mins, what software are you trying to install?
[15:57] <stefano> Typhox, i think it's 0
[15:57] <grizlo42> i don´t know if it is, and if it isn´t what do i need to do to make it accessable
[15:57] <ConstyXIV> what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[15:57] <Typhox> aha, thx
[15:57] <AHA> np
[15:57] <AHA> :p
[15:57] <Stormx2> ConstyXIV, aptitude has a proper interface.
[15:57] <tbwnoob> thanks man
[15:57] <tbwnoob> and what drive should i make bigger
[15:57] <manuel_> akumar__, what are you trying to do?
[15:57] <tbwnoob> which partition
[15:57] <SYNTAX> apt-get is tellling the terminal to find that program
[15:58] <Kate_mins> Stormx2: NATools (tools for sentense/text alignment)
[15:58] <stefano> ConstyXIV, some people think aptitude is better, however if you decide to use one or the other, stick with it, because if you mix them things can get messy
[15:58] <akumar__> manic12,  copy a dvd that is 8gb to a blank dvd
[15:58] <Kate_mins> Stormx2: how i can fix this problem ?
[15:58] <akumar__> i made an image of the old dvd
[15:58] <akumar__> and doesnt work when i try to burn it to disc
[15:58] <minimec> ConstyXIV: aptitude is the newer software and should replace apt-get. I think aptitude is default in Debian now.
[15:58] <SYNTAX> unless you have blu ray disk
[15:58] <SYNTAX> good luck
[15:58] <akumar__> nah its a 8gb dual layer dvd
[15:59] <ConstyXIV> SYNTAX, or dual layer dvds
[15:59] <akumar__> why the hell do i need blu gay
[15:59] <minimec> ConstyXIV: Aptitude handels dependencies better than apt-get
[15:59] <Stormx2> Kate_mins: how are you installing the software?
[15:59] <SYNTAX> lol ..it is blu gay
[15:59] <Kate_mins> ./configure
[15:59] <bazhang> ConstyXIV: apt-get is the superior one
[15:59] <Stormx2> grizlo42: So give someone the IP address and ask them to see if it works o.O
[15:59] <Kate_mins> Stormx2: ./configure
[15:59] <Stormx2> Kate_mins: You mean, you downloaded the source code and you're compiling, yeah?

[16:00] <tbwnoob> what version of programs should i use foe ubuntu
[16:00] <tbwnoob> sig
[16:00] <minimec> bazhang: I do not agree with you. Aptitude is meant to be the new power tool.
[16:00] <LjL> tbwnoob: the versions that are in the repositories :)
[16:00] <tbwnoob> bz2
[16:00] <tbwnoob> yea
[16:00] <LjL> !best | minimec, bazhang
[16:00] <ubotu> minimec, bazhang: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[16:00] <bazhang> minimec: hmm that would be where? link?
[16:00] <Stormx2> Kate_mins: Do this: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:01] <Stormx2> Kate_mins: Then try running the ./configure script again
[16:01] <bazhang> oops sorry for the ot LjL
[16:01] <LjL> bazhang: (aptitude is recommended by Debian)
[16:01] <Stormx2> aptitude is recommended, methinks. At least it has been in debian for a long while because it remembers which packages use what, and things installed as dependancies.
[16:02] <LjL> Stormx2: yeah well the only thing is that the Ubuntu version of APT has that built-in
[16:02] <LjL> (see "apt-get autoremove")

[16:02] <SYNTAX> is anyone here now using hardy heron?
[16:02] <manuel_> i have undefined symbols in dmesg relating to my wifi card, but it was working before ubuntu 7.10
[16:02] <Stormx2> KenSentMe: FTP only allows downloading of files.
[16:02] <SYNTAX> im still waitig for it to release in  april
[16:02] <ConstyXIV> SYNTAX, /join #ubuntu+1
[16:03] <vektori> Try lftp.
[16:03] <qwertymn> JC_Denton_, maybe you need register some fonts
[16:03] <LjL> KenSentMe, FTP does not have a native command to download an entire directory. you must download file by file. try using wget to that purpose.
[16:03] <qwertymn> i think mono needs that
[16:03] <AquaFox|Laptop> Mono doesn't need your charity.
[16:03] <pisecx> can anybody help me? google don't know about this problem. I see one message every one second in the log.

[16:05] <belracu>  is it possible to use Gimp from a shell script similar to Imagemagic tools
[16:05] <BadRobot> do you have stuff on it? arnath
[16:05] <JC_Denton_> qwertymn: http://pastebin.org/23941
[16:06] <LjL> belracu: yes. see "gimp --help", specifically the "-i", "-b", and "--batch-interpreter" options
[16:06] <arnath> BadRobot: there's 1 pdf on it, which i didn't put on it
[16:06] <BadRobot> i use to have this problem with my,it was a cheap USB flash disk,always had some problems with it.
[16:06] <LjL> belracu: more detailed information probably in #gimp-users on the irc.gimp.org network
[16:06] <acalbaza> any way to get an updated version of firefox 3 (grand paradisio) using synaptic?
[16:06] <BadRobot> maybe you should to format it
[16:06] <LjL> belracu: or ##gimp here
[16:06] <arnath> BadRobot: could try that
[16:07] <BadRobot> no,there is no FF3 on synaptic
[16:07] <BadRobot> format as FAT16
[16:07] <qwertymn> JC_Denton_, oops, sorry, i was talking in the wrong channel, i thought this was running mono in wine
[16:07] <tuulk> now xorg reconfigure no longer lets people configre device and display is there an alternative ncurses command line gui for this_? xrandr seldomly gets things right with some people. the need to configure xorg is big.
[16:07] <Toshio> Q: Can anyone recommend a good URL snooper for FireFox in Ubuntu?
[16:07] <arnath> BadRobot: stranger still: i couldn't copy into it from X, but if i do it via command line, it's no problem
[16:07] <BadRobot> the only way to install FF3 is manually
[16:07] <acalbaza> BadRobot : synaptic -> search firefox -> firefox-3.0... 3.0~alpha8....
[16:07] <JC_Denton_> qwertymn: oh ok. curious, why run mono in wine when there is a linux implementation?
[16:07] <qwertymn> sorry to bother , maybe someone else can help
[16:08] <LjL> Toshio, none is included in the Ubuntu repositories, try asking in #firefox or well just browsing the extensions site ;)
[16:08] <BadRobot> oh yep ,sorry there is but not updatd version alcabza
[16:08] <qwertymn> JC_Denton_, there seem to be reasons for that, i don't know, but people try it
[16:08] <jtraub> acalbaza, i guess you need to download it from mozilla's site
[16:08] <BadRobot> the beta ones maybe you need to isntall manually
[16:08] <samiam> samiam
[16:08] <samiam> oops
[16:09] <JC_Denton_> qwertymn: perhaps to run their .net apps..
[16:09] <BadRobot> has someone tried the Ubuntu Wubi?
[16:09] <faileas> BadRobot: yup
[16:09] <BadRobot> is it any good?
[16:09] <BadRobot> Is it fast as a normal install?
[16:09] <faileas> BadRobot: i'd say it is, as long as you shut down properly
[16:09] <faileas> hmm
[16:09] <faileas> almost
[16:10] <tbwnoob> should i change my dev folder to more space if im having trouble saving downloads
[16:10] <BadRobot> so,anyone excited about Hardy?
[16:10] <bazhang> !hardy | BadRobot
[16:10] <Ohm> not really
[16:10] <ubotu> BadRobot: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[16:10] <tbwnoob> dev/sda
[16:12] <azuki> when you press ALT-F3 the deskbar applet starts, how can I turn this off?.. it doesnt turn up in "keyboard shortcuts"
[16:12] <tbwnoob> ?
[16:12] <thelonecabbage> off topic, but does anyone know how the heck these video sites like Hulu can detect what country your coming from?  I'm proxying through US server!
[16:13] <tbwnoob> what is nautalus
[16:13] <minimec> tbwnoob: Don't touch the /dev folder. This is a system folder...
[16:13] <Matic`Makovec> Remind me again...where can you turn of pcspkr module? There is an option somewhere as far as I remember, right? (I can't remember how I turned it off by default and friend is asking me how to do it)
[16:13] <tbwnoob> is it importtant
[16:13] <tbwnoob> okay
[16:13] <tbwnoob> so what folder do i change the parttion on
[16:14] <tbwnoob> for more saving space
[16:15] <tbwnoob> ?
[16:15] <ross`__> hey, im trying to use my modem but it needs a port
[16:15] <ross`__> i don't know what to use as a port
[16:15] <minimec> tbwnoob: All your hardware will be connected and announced to your system via the /dev (device) folder. Example: /dev/video0 could be your webcam or your tv card. If you have both you would have /dev/video0 and /dev/video1.
[16:15] <ross`__> for dial up
[16:16] <tbwnoob> yea
[16:16] <ross`__> what port do i use for dial up
[16:16] <ross`__> it wants the port # for ubuntu
[16:17] <ivanhg> hi, how can my usb mouse start automatically if it doesn't do it now
[16:17] <ivanhg> now it works just when rebooted
[16:17] <minimec> tbwnoob: the /dev folder is part of the '/' filesystem and probably the '/' partition in your system. Downloads normally go in your /home directory (do you have a separate /home partition?)
[16:20] <skillz> i am looking for a laptop in the region of no more than £700 and i would like it to be as light as possible.. i have looked at the XPS m1330 and the Samsung Q70 that was on offer.. it needs to have a dedicated graphics card.. does anyone recomend one?
[16:22] <Ace2016> as light as possible huh? dedicated graphics based systems tend to be high performance systems so they're usually heavy
[16:22] <ronandi> what Aim-protocol supported client do you guys use? Im trying to find a good one
[16:22] <skillz> not realy, the Q70 and M1330 weigh in at about 2.3kg max
[16:22] <skillz> q70 is jsut under 2kg
[16:22] <shadowhywind> hay all having a bit of a problem. My logitech mouse back/forward buttons arn't working anymore and xev doesn't see an event for them either any ideas?
[16:23] <Kyro_> shadowhywind, maybe try unplugging and replugging them in, if theyre usb it might help
[16:23] <Ace2016> mine is 3.5kg
[16:23] <Kyro_> maybe try different ports
[16:23] <skillz> WOAH!!
[16:23] <skillz> Ace: no way
[16:23] <skillz> lol
[16:23] <skillz> i need to be able to carry it
[16:24] <Ace2016> its not heavy, is 3.5kg heavy for a laptop?
[16:24] <minimec> shadowhywind: What mouse do you have? maybe try imwheel. Can you pastbin your xorg.conf entry for the mouse. Probably you need to configure the mouse using the evdev driver in xorg.conf
[16:24] <Ace2016> i just wanted a higher screen res, 1440x900

[16:26] <foxiness> hi on the boot it take too long to read from the harddisk "not normal"
[16:27] <shadowhywind> Mouse0 has been what i have been using for nearly a year, without any issues
[16:27] <anteaya> someone had volunteered to help me mount my ntfs  with my windows files so that i can get those files while in linux.  If I do this are there any security issues to my windows files?
[16:27] <shoeunited> Alright, thank you bastid_raZor.  Launchpad is just a little daunting for me that's all. lol
[16:27] <foxiness> on the boot it take too long to read from the harddisk "not normal",and also after that when i load ff for exp
[16:28] <spydon> can anyone try to connect to this ftp? ftp://spydon.is-a-geek.net
[16:28] <spydon> and tell me if it works...
[16:28] <Paavo> Are there .deb packages available of any newer nvidia binary drivers than the ones in gutsy restricted repo?
[16:28] <Ace2016> spydon: nope
[16:28] <minimec> shadowhywind: You use the 'mouse' driver ... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59829/

[16:29] <bazhang> shoeunited: yes #ubuntu+1
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> anteaya, There has never been an issue reading files off ntfs..  Security issue.. what kind?
[16:29] <grizlo42> spydon: anon didn´t work
[16:29] <Ace2016> skillz: so why are you going with a system with such a tiny screen
[16:29] <NB2000> kind of worked.  But not really.
[16:29] <kalleskaviar> spydon/lukas, sems to work
[16:29] <spydon> it is anon only but I cant see where the pb is >_<
[16:29] <anteaya> Jack_Sparrow: i am concerned about viruses getting into windows files through ubuntu
[16:29] <mneptok> anteaya: Windows *is* a virus ;)
[16:30] <minimec> shadowhywind: As you see you have to use the evdev dirver for the logitech mouses to have the buttons working...
[16:30] <shadowhywind> minimec let me change that and restart x, brb
[16:30] <anteaya> mneptok: no arguement there
[16:30] <Jack_Sparrow> anteaya, Your question is hard to answer.. but the short version is no. that wont be a problem
[16:30] <Ace2016> skillz: you're in the uk right?
[16:30] <spydon> kalleskaviar, did you see the folders and the stuff?
[16:30] <Ace2016> skillz: why such a small screen?
[16:30] <skillz> Ace2016: yep
[16:31] <skillz> i want to be able to carry it arround
[16:31] <skillz> i want a portable, but decent laptop
[16:31] <spydon> eeePc ;)
[16:31] <anteaya> Jack_Sparrow: I'm grateful, if you can't trust a pirate...
[16:31] <kalleskaviar> spydon, yeah it said välkommen to spydon/lukas something something
[16:31] <ronandi> what is a good instant msging prog for linux
[16:31] <Ace2016> don't get it from pc world, they're kind of useless middle men, tried to sell me a cover plan which is really no use
[16:31] <skillz> eeePC is 2 small!
[16:31] <Jack_Sparrow> anteaya, If you download a windows program that has a virus and pass that file over to the ntfs partition . you would have a problem.  But a linux virus.. no
[16:31] <ivanhg> hi, I need to restart my computer in order for my iPod and usb mouse to start working when I plug them in, any ideas how I can prevent that?

[16:33] <tbwnoob> i have a backup fan on it
[16:33] <skillz> so any idea of a laptop then?
[16:33] <kalleskaviar> spydon, yeah well, i don't know what to say. maybe you're passive and you're passive or some such.
[16:33] <viller> I am installing kubuntu and it's taking hours. WTF? I went away for a second, is there a software selection or something because it seems to be taking a lot of time because it's installing a lot of soft
[16:33] <kalleskaviar> spydon, err i mean't they and you
[16:33] <Ace2016> tbwnoob: is the backup fan on the heatsink?
[16:33] <tbwnoob> so what could be causeing my fan to stop when i get to the login screen
[16:33] <Ace2016> oh
[16:33] <CraigGB> oh god avast just um tried to destroy my hiberfil.sys(hibernaton)  file from vista in ubuntu
[16:33] <Ace2016> it could be cpufreq or something doing power management, trying to save power
[16:34] <ivanhg> minimec: thanks, does the same work for the usb mouse?
[16:34] <Ace2016> tbwnoob: what cpu is it?
[16:34] <bazhang> CraigGB: this is #ubuntu you know
[16:34] <NB2000> What must I apt-get to have mouse activated in terminal?  Server install...
[16:34] <Seveas> CraigGB, looks like you want help in ##windows
[16:34] <CraigGB> i know i meant advast in ubuntu
[16:34] <minimec> ivanhg: You don't need that for the mouse, as the mouse is probably always plugged when you boot...
[16:34] <shadowhywind> yah that didn't work
[16:34] <bazhang> CraigGB: avast in ubuntu? not needed
[16:35] <CraigGB> is there anyway to stop it avast in ubuntu i mean sorry
[16:35] <CraigGB> yeah i have a vista partion so i dont want to to cross
[16:35] <lonran> hi everybody
[16:35] <ivanhg> minimec: its a laptop so its not always plugged
[16:35] <lonran> what can i use to play a .m4v file?

[16:36] <bazhang> CraigGB: avast installed from where? perhaps check on their forums
[16:36] <minimec> shadowhywind: no success with evdev? You have to configure it right, that's all. The two configurations in my pastebin should do for your Logimouse.
[16:37] <NB2000> What must I apt-get to have mouse activated in terminal?  Server install... Any ideas?
[16:37] <shadowhywind> minimec and thats the thing, I have tried simillar configs like yours and the one that i had was working, up to like yesterday
[16:38] <Ohm> Hey guys, I need some very serious help. It's a big problem, so I described it in the following .txt file:
[16:38] <prince_jammys> !info gpm | NB2000
[16:38] <ubotu> nb2000: gpm (source: gpm): General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-25 (gutsy), package size 372 kB, installed size 708 kB

[16:38] <Tigerplug> whats happening?
[16:38] <NB2000> Thanks.  Will try...
[16:38] <Ohm> To sum it up: Around 90% of GUI apps segfault on startup
[16:39] <minimec> shadowhywind: All I can say to you is that I only work with Logitech devices for years and they are all working properly. There is a software called imwheel (in the repos) that allows you to configure the buttons for any software you want.
[16:39] <peneG> gpltw
[16:39] <bazhang> Tigerplug: do you have a support question?
[16:39] <urlwolf> hi
[16:39] <peneG> ïèçäåñ
[16:39] <urlwolf> I'm contemplating moving away from windows for good (to ubuntu)
[16:39] <NB2000> Oh yeah.  Mouse works great. thanks.
[16:39] <Tigerplug> bazhang well I was hoping to help out anyway that I can
[16:39] <prince_jammys> NB2000: cool
[16:39] <urlwolf> but there's one thing that I need: an autocompleter
[16:39] <Ohm> urlwolf: autocompleter for.. what?
[16:39] <NB2000> prince_jammys will that auto-start at boot?
[16:40] <prince_jammys> urlwolf: autocompleter of what?
[16:40] <Tigerplug> is that ok bazhang
[16:40] <urlwolf> I write a lot and the ability to do tab completion on any window is key to me
[16:40] <prince_jammys> NB2000: don't know, never tried it
[16:40] <urlwolf> I use intellicomplete:
[16:40] <bazhang> Tigerplug: haha dont ask me; I just lurk here ;]
[16:40] <Tigerplug> lol cool
[16:40] <urlwolf> www.flashpeak.com/icomp
[16:40] <urlwolf> is there anything similar for linux>
[16:40] <urlwolf> ?
[16:40] <Ohm> urlwolf: I'd never thought of the idea of having something global to the OS like that. Cool idea.
[16:40] <shoeunited> Thank you Bazhang
[16:41] <urlwolf> There was a GPL version of this called letMeType
[16:41] <urlwolf> for win
[16:41] <foxiness> what is the tool to test smart info about harddisk?
[16:41] <minimec> shadowhywind: Try 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' to see what device your mouse has ...
[16:41] <urlwolf> the author stopped development because he moved to linux
[16:41] <bazhang> no worries shoeunited ;]
[16:41] <prince_jammys> urlwolf: you mean it autocompletes dictionary words as you type?
[16:41] <foxiness> not found on add/remove
[16:41] <urlwolf> I wonder if he developed something like it for linux
[16:41] <bastid_raZor> urlwolf; if you use a terminal in linux tab completion already exists
[16:41] <urlwolf> yes and it also learns words you use and accurately predicts them
[16:41] <urlwolf> of course.
[16:42] <urlwolf> but I want that on ANY window
[16:42] <urlwolf> plus tab completion in terminal is just for commands and dir/files
[16:42] <shadowhywind> minimec i have two Logitech USB Receivers listed
[16:42] <urlwolf> not for any word
[16:43] <minimec> shadowhywind: Do you have one of these logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combos?
[16:43] <minimec> shadowhywind: Like the s510?
[16:43] <urlwolf> My guess is that it intercepts the keyboard and completes from there. Maybe it's window-manager dependent if such a thing exists
[16:43] <shadowhywind> minimec: yes I do actraully, I am not using the keyboard though
[16:43] <CraigGB> um is their anywhere four causul ubuntu chat?
[16:43] <CraigGB> for
[16:43] <bazhang> CraigGB: #ubuntu-offtopic ;]
[16:44] <CraigGB> thanks
[16:44] <minimec> shadowhywind: Wait a moment ...
[16:44] <Mklcst> hi guys
[16:44] <Ohm> urlwolf: Probably distro-specific, but shouldn't need to be WM specific
[16:44] <Mklcst> i need help with r software
[16:44] <Ohm> all it has to do is intercept keyboard input and fake keyboard output
[16:44] <urlwolf> right
[16:44] <ddmdllt> hello everybody
[16:44] <urlwolf> but there's such a thing?
[16:44] <urlwolf> if not, someone should code one
[16:45] <Ohm> urlwolf: not that I've heard of, sorry
[16:45] <ddmdllt> does someone knows a way to force firefox to use ipv4 just for a website?

[16:45] <ubotu> urlwolf: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like!
[16:45] <ddmdllt> (I can't just enter the ipv4 address, the server hosts multiple sites)
[16:45] <tbwnoob> hye guys
[16:45] <tbwnoob> im back
[16:46] <tbwnoob> my fan is on
[16:46] <tbwnoob> but i dont know nwhat i did to get it
[16:46] <tbwnoob> there
[16:46] <tbwnoob> an error came up
[16:46] <tbwnoob>  dpkg --configure -a
[16:46] <tbwnoob> it told me to do that command
[16:46] <tbwnoob> does anyone know what that does
[16:46] <tbwnoob>  dpkg --configure -a
[16:46] <FloodBot3> tbwnoob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:46] <bazhang> tbwnoob: then do the command ;]
[16:47] <tbwnoob> i did
[16:47] <tbwnoob> but i dont know if that fixed the fan not turning on
[16:47] <bazhang> is it on now tbwnoob?
[16:47] <Ohm> tbwnoob: man dpkg and then read
[16:48] <qwerty121> Anyone having any success in installing and running Adobe Air in Ubuntu?
[16:48] <tbwnoob> nope thats not my fan problem
[16:48] <tbwnoob> but im going to install the rest of my updates
[16:48] <tbwnoob> and see if that helps
[16:48] <bazhang> tbwnoob: could be hardware then

[16:53] <sheepmas> Hi everyone. Please let me know if there's a better forum for this (I'm new here), otherwise: Can anyone recommend a good symbolic math package in ubuntu? Is there anything similar to mathematica/maple in ubuntu?
[16:53] <lvkasi> hellp
[16:54] <jrib> sheepmas: maxima
[16:54] <xq> sheepmas: apt-get install maxima wxmaxima
[16:54] <xq> sheepmas: Or Mathomatic -- Either one.
[16:54] <tekstacy> cool. found it in the repo, installing now
[16:54] <xq> tekstacy: Have fun. It's great.
[16:55] <xq> sheepmas: You can still use Maple or or Mathematica...
[16:55] <tekstacy> Thanks alot. Off to play
[16:56] <minimec> shadowhywind: follow the link I gave you. I worked hard on that s510 combo and I was able to get it work.
[16:56] <yowshi> anyone know how to shut down a stuck flash object?
[16:56] <minimec> shadowhywind: By the way ... I am typing with it right now ....
[16:57] <shadowhywind> minimec i believe that it should work. But like i said, everything that should be working isn't. It was working up to yesterday and then poof it doesn't
[16:57] <sheepmas> Cool. Cheers xq, jrib. I have a copy of maple at work, but don't have a license for use at home, so I'm looking for a open source alternative. Any idea how maxima / mathomatic compare to maple/mathematica? Maxima looks good on the face of it
[16:58] <xq> sheepmas: They are excellent :)
[16:59] <minimec> shadowhywind: Oh ... So you had one of 'these' days... ;) I hate them too. lol
[16:59] <tbwnoob> can you set your ubuntu to run more than one setup at once?
[16:59] <xq> sheepmas: I use it all of the time.
[16:59] <shadowhywind> minimec yup
[16:59] <yowshi> anyone know how to shut down a stuck flash object?
[16:59] <yowshi> i have a flash thingy tat didnt close with firefox and now i have a giant blank square in the middle of my screen
[16:59] <Fryguy--> yowshi: you'll have to be somewhat more specific.  As an vague answer to your equally vague question, ps + kill will do what you want
[17:00] <jrib> tbwnoob: what do you mean by "setup"?
[17:00] <sheepmas> xq: great. Thanks!
[17:00] <jrib> yowshi: are you on amd64?
[17:00] <yowshi> it's the size of a window for a flash game i was playing to i am guessing it is from that
[17:00] <yowshi> yes
[17:00] <SLXViper> yowshi: xkill
[17:01] <SLXViper> start xkill and klick on this window
[17:01] <yowshi> yoshi@ubuntu:~$ xkill
[17:01] <yowshi> Select the window whose client you wish to kill with button 1....
[17:01] <jrib> yowshi: ps -ef | grep npviewer    then kill the process
[17:01] <yowshi> ummm i dont know what to do there
[17:01] <jrib> yowshi: if xkill doesn't work
[17:01] <amenado> yowshi  try  xrefresh
[17:01] <tbwnoob> like do updates
[17:01] <reverseblade> my wireless card becomed insvisible suddenly. Can anyone help ?
[17:01] <tbwnoob> and install some other drivers at once
[17:01] <SLXViper> yowshi: try alt+tab to get that flash window on top
[17:01] <tbwnoob> like install two things at once
[17:01] <SLXViper> then klick on it
[17:02] <minimec> reverseblade: Do you have a wireless button on your hardware? Check that first... ;)
[17:02] <amenado> yowshi  xrefresh  refreshes X display
[17:02] <Fryguy--> tbwnoob: no
[17:02] <reverseblade> minimec, yes but it is working
[17:02] <yowshi> ummm i cant the window is right where the aklt tab thing is so i cant tell which window i am selecting
[17:02] <Fryguy--> tbwnoob: there's a lock in place that only allows you to install one thing for a reason
[17:02] <yowshi> xrefresh didnt work
[17:02] <Gizmo_The_Great> trying to kill a process using 'sudo kill 1234' but the process still running when re-execute 'ps -A'. What am I doing wrong?
[17:02] <SLXViper> hum
[17:02] <Fryguy--> Gizmo_The_Great: try kill -9
[17:03] <yowshi> the grep mthing did thiough
[17:03] <yowshi> thanks
[17:03] <Gizmo_The_Great> Fryguy--, what's the -9?
[17:03] <minimec> reverseblade: ok. My mother ince called me with that problem ... ;)
[17:03] <Fryguy--> Gizmo_The_Great: it's a different signal that means "really blow up"
[17:03] <yowshi> the grep and kill thing worked thanks jrib
[17:03] <minimec> reverseblade: what does iwconfig tell you?
[17:03] <SLXViper> sudo kill -9 1234 terminates the process at once.
[17:03] <tbwnoob> is there a souloution or is that the way it runs
[17:03] <Gizmo_The_Great> Fryguy--, thanks. that has worked :-)
[17:04] <reverseblade> minimec, it can't find the hardware
[17:04] <reverseblade> says no wireless extensions
[17:04] <yowshi> man if i had only kown that command. i get this flash problem pretty frequently
[17:04] <Fryguy--> Gizmo_The_Great: kill is somewhat misnamed, as it allows you to send any signal to an application, not just sigkill (there are dozens of other signals available), -9 just happens to flag a different signal.  Check out the manpage for more details

[17:05] <vargran> under win
[17:05] <vargran> I've burned cd image using it
[17:06] <zelrikriando> vargran: is it really a CD image?
[17:06] <vargran> zelrikriando: and how do you think i've booted?
[17:06] <Fryguy--> vargran: what exactly is the problem?  what is this "it" that is saying cannot find cdrom?
[17:06] <zelrikriando> vargran: so the live CD booted?
[17:07] <vargran> yes
[17:07] <vargran> alternative boot cd. install shell says it can't mount cd :(
[17:07] <vargran> one sec
[17:07] <vargran> will send ya part of syslog
[17:07] <Fryguy--> any particular reason why you aren't just using the livecd?
[17:07] <amenado> what trick one can do to print a web page in let say default font 12 size while when viewed in  a browser it could be 18 ?  old people need to view the screen bigger :P
[17:07] <vargran> I got ATI video card
[17:08] <Fryguy--> vargran: so?
[17:08] <zelrikriando> so?
[17:08] <mexicanbanana> What is a virtual world that doesn't suck ass where there is some chance of making a living? Second Life, WoW and Entropia Universe are all out of the question. I want to experience like a simulated young USA. How can there not be something like this out there?
[17:08] <vargran> simple live cd can't start X :(
[17:08] <jrib> !offtopic | mexicanbanana
[17:08] <ubotu> mexicanbanana: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[17:08] <bazhang> mexicanbanana: not here please; this is #ubuntu support
[17:08] <SpookyET> I'm installing KDE to see what the fuss is about. It won the linuxquestions poll.
[17:08] <core_> where does ubuntu store the config for my wireless, there is 3 files i belive one is channel the other is rate and the last is bssid?
[17:08] <Fryguy--> vargran: it certainly can.  Try using the second option on the boot menu if you are having problems.  I've booted the livecd on plenty of ati cards
[17:09] <brobostigon> core_: /etc/network/interfaces
[17:09] <amenado> core_-> /etc/network/interfaces
[17:09] <Fryguy--> SpookyET: have fun with that
[17:09] <core_> brobostigon, amenado thanks
[17:09] <vargran> Fryguy--: it wount solve the problem: cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount failed: device=/dev/scd0
[17:09] <zelrikriando> I know my next computer will not have ATI in it
[17:09] <zelrikriando> :D
[17:09] <Fryguy--> vargran: are you using a SATA cdrom drive? or scsi?
[17:10] <vargran> sata
[17:10] <Fryguy--> vargran: try disabling ahci
[17:10] <vargran> at least I think so
[17:10] <core_> brobostigon, amenado those files arn't there interfaces is a file itself but doesn't store the channel, rate and bssid
[17:10] <vargran> ok, will try it now
[17:10] <SpookyET> Fryguy--: you say it sucks?
[17:10] <Fryguy--> SpookyET: no
[17:10] <amenado> core_-> you can store it in there, the exact syntax i do not know off hand
[17:10] <core_> thank you
[17:10] <brobostigon> core_: on mine the wireless settings are in that file.
[17:11] <Fryguy--> SpookyET: I don't really like it, mostly because I grew up learning linux on minimal desktops (and gnome sometimes), so I'm more used to those than kde, and they do what I want
[17:11] <amenado> core_-> if you want the transient settings, you have to dig it up from /proc  or maybe /sys
[17:11] <Fryguy--> btw using /etc/network/interfaces will usually screw with nm-applet, especially in the case of wireless
[17:11] <Thrash100> will a deb made with alien on 7.10 work on 7.04?
[17:12] <Fryguy--> Thrash100: try it and see
[17:12] <bazhang> haha
[17:12] <chatuu> hey
[17:12] <brobostigon> Fryguy--: i dont use network manager
[17:12] <chatuu> i need help
[17:12] <chatuu> anyone can help ?
[17:12] <Fryguy--> chatuu: not until you ask your question
[17:12] <bazhang> if you ask chatuu
[17:12] <core_> amenado, brobostigon before i had to reinstall ubuntu the 2nd time there were 3 files that was actually called rate, bssid and channel that i would edit. any idea?
[17:12] <Gizmo_The_Great> Trying to setup Skype. Have installed it and registered OK. Have headphones with Mic. Trying to configure. When I select the recording device, there's a list of 10 or so items. Only one works and that is rather patchy, crackly, and not very loud when I do the call test. Any thoughts why?
[17:12] <vargran> erm how do I disable ahci during boot?
[17:13] <Fryguy--> vargran: probably in your bios somewhere
[17:13] <brobostigon> core_: as i said /etc/network/interfaces does what you describe
[17:13] <core_> amenado, brobostigon i am trying to automatically set the information im trying to use by using iwconfig eth1 bssid 00:00:00:00:00:00 it returns that the mode is not supported
[17:13] <amenado> core_-> on ubuntu? not sure where that is, but as i suggested earlier, you can dig through /proc or /sys to find those transient files
[17:13] <vargran> Fryguy--: is it possible to disable it using kernel parameter or sort of?
[17:13] <Fryguy--> vargran: no idea.  I'm basically guessing
[17:14] <SliMM> hello
[17:14] <Fryguy--> core_: are you sure eth1 is your wireless card?
[17:14] <SliMM> how can i make a script to turn off compiz if it is running and to turn it on if not?
[17:14] <core_> yes
[17:15] <vargran> my bios doesn't have any options on ahci
[17:15] <vargran> :(
[17:15] <bazhang> SliMM: have you thought this fully through? would that be a recursive loop?
[17:15] <Fryguy--> SliMM: why do you want to do that?
[17:15] <minimec> Gizmo_The_Great: I have that problem with my logitech webcam sphere with integrated audio... I think in my case it is dirver related...
[17:15] <SliMM> bazhang: it's just a switch an "if" that is run only once
[17:16] <SliMM> Fryguy--: because i need to turn it off to play 3d games well
[17:16] <orudie> bazhang: there ?
[17:16] <bazhang> SliMM: alt f2 compiz --replace; about as easy as you can get imo
[17:16] <core_> Fryguy--, this is what i get, i type in iwconfig eth1 essid 00:c0:49:ff:66:b0 and it returns "iwconfig: unknown command "00:c0:49:ff:66:b0"
[17:16] <SliMM> bazhang: that's for turning it on
[17:16] <Fryguy--> SliMM: so why do you care about switching it? you disable it when you want to play, and then re-enable it when you are done
[17:17] <bazhang> SliMM: alt f2 metacity --replace
[17:17] <thesurvivorman> or you could make another user that doesn't have compiz running and switch
[17:17] <Fryguy--> core_: then obviously you are typing the command wrong.  Read the manpage
[17:17] <bazhang> core that is not the bssid
[17:17] <amenado> core_-> if you have to set a network parameter, you have to sudo,  just to look at setting sometimes you dont have to be root
[17:17] <orudie> bazhang: my putty session froze while i was in screen, after reconnecting i try this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59836/, dont konw how to get back to this attached screen
[17:18] <meoblast001> hello... i have an ipod shuffle on /dev/sdb1 and i need to know what i should do to the fstab so it will mount it giving all permission to my non-root user... how would i do this?
[17:18] <SliMM> Fryguy--: because i can't add an icon on the desktop to disable or enable it (in one word to switch it) unless i write a script
[17:18] <Fryguy--> orudie: try screen -R -D
[17:18] <orudie> Fryguy--: capital ?
[17:18] <bazhang> meoblast001: likely the issue is the libgpod and not that
[17:18] <Fryguy--> SliMM: so then write the oneline scripts that kill and start a process
[17:18] <raidium> looking for a guru to help me with some install probs on evga 680i, 8800gts x2. getting blank screen with live cd and various problems using alt cd (suse works fine)
[17:18] <Fryguy--> orudie: yes
[17:18] <compu73rg33k> is there a way to turn off workspace scrolling/
[17:19] <Fryguy--> compu73rg33k: yes, assuming you are using a stock install, just find the pager icon on your gnome-panel, right click it and go to preferences
[17:19] <orudie> Fryguy-- helped thanx
[17:19] <SliMM> Fryguy--: exactly; so, what are those scripts?
[17:19] <russ> hello can anybody help me figure out how to stop a screensaver from running? I have kde desktop and the screensaver that runs seems to be unrelated to it. I can't find any place to change its settings, and it crashes my session when certain other programs are running.
[17:19] <amenado> how do i tell firefox to print default to  font size 12 while in viewing its font size 18?  anyone good at lpr command options?   :)
[17:20] <Fryguy--> SliMM: uh #!/bin/bash compiz;     and #!/bin/bash killall metacity --replace;   will probably work...
[17:20] <amenado> my default firefox print is  lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+-P"$MOZ_PRINTER_
[17:20] <meoblast001> bazhang: it mounts properly and shows up in rhythmbox when i mount it with Gparted but it mounts it as root
[17:20] <Fryguy--> SliMM: this isn't really the right channel to be asking basic questions about scripting
[17:20] <SliMM> ok, sorry
[17:20] <thesurvivorman> i use gnome but the screensaver option might be under power management, or something like that
[17:20] <bazhang> meoblast001: are you logging in as root? what happened with that?
[17:20] <naag> hello :-)
[17:21] <compu73rg33k> Fryguy--, in the preferences I can only determine the rows and columsn of the number of workspaces
[17:21] <meoblast001> bazhang: im logged in as a non-root user but i mounted it with gparted to make it easy
[17:21] <compu73rg33k> no option to turn off scrolling?
[17:21] <Fryguy--> compu73rg33k: so set it to 1 and 1...
[17:21] <bazhang> meoblast001: ah well that would be the problem then
[17:21] <stefano> is there some sort of good data recovery software for windows? (sorry to ask here, it's for a friend)
[17:21] <naag> i just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 which broke my reiserfs /home partition on LVM
[17:21] <naag> anyone seen something like this?
[17:21] <core_> Fryguy--, i read it and i should be typing iwconfig eth1 ap 00:00:00:00:00 now i get "Set failed on device eth1 ; operation not supported??"
[17:21] <minimec> amenado: I would set default size back to 12 and use <ctrl>+ for the font size.
[17:21] <Fryguy--> naag: #ubuntu+1, don't use beta software.  restore your backup, etc.
[17:22] <meoblast001> bazhang: so what should i do to the fstab so it mounts it as user braden
[17:22] <compu73rg33k> but i want the ones I have I just odn't want hte ability to scroll through them with my mouse
[17:22] <amenado> minimec am looking for setting it in about:config  so i can just default to print at that small size, while viewing in large font size
[17:22] <naag> fryguy: i have a backup and restored most of the data, but still. an upgrade really shouldn't fry your reiserfs volume
[17:22] <Fryguy--> core_: go read a basic introduction to setting up wireless, as you seem to be just typing in random commands at this point.  I don't have wireless on this machine and have no way to help you, and ubuntu REALLY wants you to use nm-applet as opposed to doing it manually
[17:22] <Fryguy--> naag: it's beta, it can do whatever it wants
[17:23] <meoblast001> bazhang: this is what i have "/dev/sdb1       /media/disk   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0"
[17:23] <minimec> amenado: why not... if there is a about:config option ...
[17:23] <naag> fryguy: wouldnt this indicate some sort of bug?
[17:23] <Fryguy--> naag: make sure you go and report the bug so the ubuntu people can take a look at it and possibly address the issue
[17:23] <naag> fryguy: alright
[17:24] <amenado> minimec thats what am seeking..need some expertise, so many options that i glanced through nothing I caught yet thats 12 cpi..
[17:24] <bazhang> meoblast001: no idea how to do undo the root/gparted issue; I just mount it normally, never using gparted--sorry not to be of any help here
[17:24] <vargran> seems that ubuntu isn't ready for asus laptops :(
[17:25] <meoblast001> bazhang: tell me how to mount it normally without it being owned 100% by root
[17:25] <compu73rg33k> Fryguy--, is there a way to just turn off the mouse scrolling navigation?
[17:25] <Fryguy--> meoblast001: just review mount parameters, man mount will give you details
[17:25] <compu73rg33k> I hotkey'd my navigation so I dont' need tos croll w/ the mouse
[17:25] <meoblast001> k
[17:25] <Fryguy--> compu73rg33k: what mouse scrolling navigation.  compiz doesn't enable that by default
[17:25] <marcin> witam:)
[17:26] <compu73rg33k> yeah it does :\
[17:26] <amenado> minimec i wonder if thats a filter on cups or has to be set on the browser...
[17:26] <Fryguy--> are you talking about mouse wheel or what?
[17:26] <compu73rg33k> http://www.linux.com/feature/120112?theme=print 6th paragraph search for the word "scrolling"
[17:26] <russ> how can I find the process that starts my screensaver and kill it?
[17:26] <compu73rg33k> don't have any specific window in focus and scroll your mouse, it scrolls through the workspaces
[17:27] <minimec> amenado: I don't know, but as I said before, I handle font size with <ctrl>+/- and I have no problem with printing.
[17:27] <Fryguy--> compu73rg33k: if you are talking about mouse wheel, then just go into compiz settings manager and change it (install compizconfig-settings-manager first)
[17:27] <bazhang> vargran: tell that to my eeepc ;]
[17:27] <amenado> its been a while back since orielly published that book on printing...got to find that book again or an update
[17:27] <compu73rg33k> Fryguy--, ah okay thanks
[17:27] <vargran> bazhang: eeepc is another type of device, it's a SUBnotebook, not a laptop
[17:27] <Fryguy--> vargran: lol
[17:28] <Fryguy--> vargran: i've personally installed linux on variuos asus laptops without issue
[17:28] <vargran> Fryguy--: look at the specification
[17:28] <bazhang> vargran: asus laptops handle ubuntu fine
[17:28] <amenado> minimec-> what do you do? you have a setting at lowest rez at 12 fonts and lets say 20 fonts and you cycle through them til you hit the right size?
[17:28] <vargran> Fryguy--: and on mine it doesn't installs
[17:28] <vargran> Fryguy--: ideas?
[17:29] <Fryguy--> vargran: i gave you my ideas.  I'm sure if there actually is a problem installing on the laptop then google has an answer for you.  This is ubuntu support not "omg, let's hope to find somebody with my exact hardware configuration so they can handhold me through an install"
[17:29] <amenado> vargran-> sell your asus laptop on ebay so i may be it in-expensively :P
[17:29] <minimec> amenado: Firefox has a zoom function <ctrl>+/- Just try it in your browser window...
[17:29] <vargran> amenado: ggyf
[17:30] <croSmiley> hi all
[17:30] <bazhang> ?
[17:30] <amenado> vargran dittoo whatever that is..hehehe
[17:30] <vargran> Fryguy--: I'm a user, which requires linux, I don't want to debug a half of kernel or build my own sys

[17:32] <stefano> elm1, open your network preferences and put in some dns servers of which you know that they work, you can find out what those are by calling your ISP or possibly looking at their website / googling

[17:33] <radomircho> Please
[17:33] <amenado> elm1 is the other end as fast as yours? maybe the other end has to catch up huh? or yeah you're resolving to an ipv6 as your first priority?
[17:33] <JJones> Does it use the same network (so i will get the same lists of music ect. ) ?
[17:34] <radomircho> and i'm sorry if my English is not good enough

[17:37] <ar0nic> are internet explorer bookmarks importable into ubuntu?
[17:37] <jin> hi
[17:37] <Stroganoff> is it save to disable atd?
[17:37] <elm1> stefano: no joy there, can i, like say the default that u start with in ubuntu?
[17:38] <russ> any ideas how to find and stop a pesky screensaver?
[17:38] <jin> when connecting to my home wireless network, Uuntu does not ask me to remember password. Any way to set it manually?
[17:38] <stefano> elm1, normally you put the adress of your router / gateway there
[17:38] <Toznoshio> ar0nic, first import those bookmarks into firefox in Windows
[17:38] <stefano> elm1, i can give you mine but they're in germany so theyre going to be slow for you
[17:38] <ar0nic> AH
[17:38] <ar0nic> ok
[17:38] <ar0nic> then just copy
[17:38] <bazhang> russ just disable the screensavers for now--you mean you sleep sometimes? ;]
[17:39] <foxiness> i found i have "high load cycles for hard disks" problem ,how i know if my laptop now hang or crash with laptop mode enable?
[17:39] <ar0nic> i knew the way firefox and ie dealt with their bookmarks were a little different
[17:39] <minimec> ar0nic: Import them to firefox in windows and copy them afterwords to linux. I guess that should work.
[17:39] <tbwnoob_> whats up
[17:39] <russ> bazhang the funny thing is I can't even find the screensaver that is running. the kde screensaver dialog just seems to not work

[17:44] <kavik> revolving doors?
[17:45] <ynni> what's the name of the bin for wicd? or how do I find out?
[17:45] <MirrorImage> I messed up my resolution badly and I do not know how to fix it : /
[17:45] <wxPython> http://wubi-installer.org/
[17:45] <wxPython> http://wubi-installer.org/
[17:45] <Fryguy--> MirrorImage: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:45] <Tyczek> I've got problem with team speak... I have hda intel card with no hardware mixing... and only TS can works... other applications are muted
[17:46] <Tyczek> or Ts is muted when other application is on (f.e quodlibet)
[17:46] <Flannel> ynni: what package is wicd?
 MirrorImage: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf < Like I know how to do that, I'm not the most proficient at linux
[17:46] <ynni> Flannel, I guess "wicd" :D But I'll look it up
[17:47] <Fryguy--> MirrorImage: just go to /etc/X11 and look at all of the xorg.confs that are there.  Whenever you make a change in the gui it makes a backup of your settings
[17:47] <ynni> yep, it's called "wicd"
[17:47] <Flannel> Tyczek: You might check the forums (ubuntuforums.org) they have lots of teamspeak information
[17:47] <Alyx|lappy> hey via the command line how do i set up my network connection to go through a proxy?
[17:47] <Flannel> ynni: Which version of ubuntu is this?
[17:47] <scjp_> I mean i am talking about there are alot of images with eyes or faces blurred, is there any software to bring it back to orignal pictures
[17:47] <unicum> how do i find out to which directory aptitude installed the java stuff?
[17:47] <Tixer__> I have two network cards, one is eth0 and the other one is a wifi card. How can I control which one a program uses?
[17:47] <Ja1> does anyone know anything about samba?
[17:47] <scjp_> backtracker, I mean i am talking about there are alot of images with eyes or faces blurred, is there any software to bring it back to orignal pictures
[17:48] <bazhang> ja1 likely that would be a 'yes'
[17:48] <meoblast001> how do you change the UID that a device will be mounted under in the fstab?
[17:48] <Tyczek> Flannel, ok
[17:48] <Tixer__> scjp_: Photoshop.
[17:48] <Tixer__> scjp_: GIMP is also good.
[17:48] <Alyx|lappy> hey via the command line how do i set up my network connection to go through a proxy?
[17:48] <MirrorImage> Fryguy--, this probably sounds really stupid but how do I go about gettign there?
[17:48] <kavik> What irc does ubuntu come with?
[17:48] <Fryguy--> MirrorImage: well where are you now?
[17:48] <kavik> also, i was running live cd ubuntu 7.10 and i couldn't connect to my wireless
[17:49] <dadada> i saw aurora borealis just now
[17:49] <MirrorImage> Well right now I'm on my live CD
[17:49] <kavik> i typed in the correct name and passphrase but nothing...
[17:49] <Fryguy--> kavik: there are dozens of irc clients available to install
[17:49] <Flannel> kavik: pidgin (which doesn't count), xchat, irssi are both good
[17:49] <Ja1> bazhang okay well i have set up a server and I can't write to the drive form windows and all of my premissions are set to read and write
[17:49] <minimec> Alyx|lappy: Don't hang me on that, but I guess this would be a iptables rule...
[17:49] <kavik> fryguy; flannel; what about the ubuntu wireless?
[17:50] <Fryguy--> kavik: no idea
[17:50] <Fryguy--> i've used wireless in linux for a grand total of 5 minutes
[17:50] <meoblast001> how do you change the UID that a device will be mounted under in the fstab?
[17:50] <tbwnoob> my computer is sayiong its unable Xauthorization file.
[17:50] <Fryguy--> meoblast001: why do you want to change the uuid of a device
[17:50] <tbwnoob> to run that file
[17:51] <tbwnoob> why cant i run my Xauthorization file?
[17:51] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: /dev/sda1       /mnt/windows    ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=227     0       0
[17:51] <meoblast001> Fryguy--: cuz it mounts it as root and i need to use it as a normal user
[17:51] <prince_jammys> not the uuid, the uid
[17:51] <kavik> fryguy did you have to manually type in the ssid or whatever?
[17:51] <Fryguy--> meoblast001: so just add uid=whatever to the options on the fstab line
[17:51] <tbwnoob> my Xauthorization file isnt working please help
[17:51] <Fryguy--> kavik: on the linux setup i was using, and for the purposes I was using it for, I did
[17:52] <Fryguy--> tbwnoob: just delete the one that is there and restart X
[17:52] <minimec> Alyx|lappy: Do you speak german?
[17:52] <bazhang> kavik: wireless in the command line? here is a great guide--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188
[17:52] <tbwnoob> how to i get to it
[17:52] <tbwnoob> to dleeate it
[17:52] <meoblast001> Fryguy--: what would be my uid if i was the first user on the system?
[17:52] <Fryguy--> tbwnoob: it's in your home directory
[17:52] <Fryguy--> meoblast001: probably 1000
[17:52] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: likely 1000. type : echo $UID
[17:52] <tbwnoob> ok
[17:52] <Fryguy--> meoblast001: type "id" to check
[17:52] <Ja1> With samba I set up a server.  It shows up in windows and all as a network drive how ever i cant write to it. i think it may be a problem with my users and passwords on samba.  all of my permissions are set to read and write
[17:53] <meoblast001> its 1000
[17:53] <minimec> Would be something like that... iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
[17:53] <Ja1> btw i am using SWAT
[17:53] <minimec> Alyx|lappy: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
[17:53] <Fryguy--> Ja1: editing smb.conf manually will probably be faster and easier
[17:53] <tbwnoob> i dont see my Xauthorization file in my home directory
[17:53] <patogen> How do I find out which colors I can use with grub's menu.lst?
[17:54] <Fryguy--> tbwnoob: it's a hidden file (use ls -a)
[17:54] <smehmood> hey, I have a permissions question: I have two users on my system. one for me (smehmood) and user that will be shared amongst a few people all working on a project together (pmunc). I wanted to store the project files in pmunc
[17:54] <smehmood> home directory, but if I do I don't have access to it (my account)
[17:54] <Ja1> it wont let me edit it it says i dont have premissions to use save to that folder and
[17:54] <meoblast001> Fryguy--: uh oh.... mount: can't find /media/disk in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[17:54] <smehmood> I know I can change permissions for each file and all that, but how do I make it so by default, new directories have certain permissions?
[17:54] <Fryguy--> smehmood: change the group of the target directory, and then add yourself to that group
[17:54] <DOOM_NX> noob question: in terminal, what command moves u one directory up?
[17:54] <tbwnoob> okay thanks
[17:55] <tbwnoob> terminal
[17:55] <tbwnoob> i dont use terminal when im looking at directorys
[17:55] <murlidhar> oops there is NO jigdo file for hardy heron . Any news when will they release a jigdo file for it.
[17:55] <tbwnoob> prolly .
[17:55] <tbwnoob> .
[17:55] <tbwnoob> i would say
[17:55] <tbwnoob> or /
[17:55] <Fryguy--> smehmood: change your umask in the .rc file for whatever shell you are using
[17:55] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: can you paste the fstab line here
[17:55] <DOOM_NX> cd moves u to home
[17:55] <DOOM_NX> let me try .
[17:56] <bazhang> murlidhar: best to ask in #ubuntu+1
[17:56] <Fryguy--> DOOM_NX: cd ..
[17:56] <Ja1> Fryguy--: it wont let me edit it it says i dont have premissions to use save to that folder and
[17:56] <thesurvivorman> cd ..
[17:56] <Fryguy--> Ja1: so then become root and edit it
[17:56] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: /dev/sdb1       /media/disk   /mnt/windows    ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=227     0       0

[17:56] <kavik> bazhang hey it's bazhang! lol
[17:56] <DOOM_NX> Fryguy--, u're right... i was using "cd.."
[17:56] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: what i pasted was just an example. get rid of /mnt/windows
[17:56] <Fryguy--> use a command line text editor such as emacs or vim or nano or pico or do it hardcore with cat or whatever you want
[17:56] <tbwnoob> how do you reply with there name beside it
[17:56] <kavik> bazhang, i couldn't connect to my wireless.. i typed in the right name for it and pass but it never worked.
[17:57] <kavik> tbwnoob, huh?
[17:57] <Ja1> i am happy with swat

[17:57] <Ja1> i will just keep that
[17:57] <Fryguy--> tbwnoob: you type in their name lol
[17:57] <bazhang> kavik: using the gui or the cli?
[17:57] <tbwnoob> ohh
[17:57] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: it's ntfs that you're mounting, correct?
[17:57] <kavik> bazhang, i think the gui.... whatever's on the downloadable .iso
[17:57] <kavik> bazhang for ubuntu 7.10
[17:57] <Fryguy--> tbwnoob: and make plenty of use of tab-complete
[17:57] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: no its vfat
[17:57] <bazhang> kavik they both are
[17:58] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: so what do i have to change to what
[17:58] <Ja1>      =-O
[17:58] <kavik> bazhang.. well.. i guess i'm in a pickle...
[17:58] <kavik> bazhang, gui = general user interface, correct?
[17:58] <tbwnoob> lol
[17:58] <bazhang> kavik: did you read that link?
[17:58] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: /dev/sdb1       /media/disk      vfat    uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=007     0       0

[17:59] <CorruptTerrorist> hey all. is there a way i can run my windows installation in vmware?
[17:59] <minimec> Titan: Try with a sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update
[17:59] <tapas> ok, i have a hardy beta cd here to rescue my system ;)
[17:59] <elm1> stefano: thanks man
[17:59] <kavik> oops
[17:59] <tapas> i need to somehow get cryptsetup ;)
[17:59] <Titan> minimec tyvm ill give that a try
[17:59] <kavik> bazhang did you send me anything? i accidentally closed out
[17:59] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: you can change the umask, depending on the permissions you want
[17:59] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 kavik
[17:59] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: good news and bad news
[18:00] <Fryguy--> CorruptTerrorist: sure, i'd recommend checking out virtualbox first though, it's much better for the consumer desktop market than vmware is imo
[18:00] <tapas> ah just neded to update sources
[18:00] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: but you have to replace ntfs with vfat
[18:00] <Ja1> can someone help me with samba user and premissions
[18:00] <hyw> hi
[18:00] <CorruptTerrorist> how about the other way around Fryguy-- ?
[18:00] <CorruptTerrorist> run my ubuntu in windows
[18:00] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: when i run sudo mount /dev/sdb1 it mounts it as my non-root user..... but when i first plug the device in, it promps me that i do not have permission to mount it
[18:00] <Fryguy--> Ja1: there are tons of resources on the internet for administering a samba installation, go view those resources.  This isn't a samba help channel
[18:00] <Fryguy--> CorruptTerrorist: what?
[18:01] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: ah, it's an external drive
[18:01] <elm1> ive BEEN having a problem with my USB, it works whenever it feels like, when i plug something in, either a flash drive or lone of my externals, sometimes it picks up, other times its like there arent any USB ports on my machine, lsusb, returns nttn in these  cases, blkid returns nothing 2, any thoughts?
[18:01] <Dex-Freudii> anybody using hereon alpha 6?
[18:01] <LjL> !hardy > Dex-Freudii    (Dex-Freudii, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:01] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: its an ipod shuffle
[18:01] <Fryguy--> Dex-Freudii: wrong channel, join #ubuntu+1 for next release information
[18:01] <Dex-Freudii> oki
[18:01] <CorruptTerrorist> Fryguy--, can i run my ubuntu installation via windows?
[18:01] <kavik> bazhang, thanks i'll try that.
[18:02] <Fryguy--> CorruptTerrorist: inside a virtual machine? sure
[18:02] <Ja1> n someone help me with samba user and premissions
[18:02] <elm1> ive BEEN having a problem with my USB, it works whenever it feels like, when i plug something in, either a flash drive or lone of my externals, sometimes it picks up, other times its like there arent any USB ports on my machine, lsusb, returns nttn in these  cases, blkid returns nothing 2, any thoughts?
[18:02] <Fryguy--> Ja1: this isn't a samba support channel, either look up the hundreds of resources on google, or try a more samba central channel
[18:02] <hyw> Can anyone help? trying to install ubuntu, just loaded the cd and got the list start install check cd for defects I chose start then weird colors started appearing and blue red green vertical lines any idea what this means?
[18:02] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: and im starting to get pissed that everytime i do something to it on rhythmbox, it changes but then comes back  to what it orriginally had when i reopen rhythmbox
[18:02] <Titan> what's faster for a server fedora or buntu
[18:02] <Fryguy--> elm1: stop repeating huge paragraphs, if somebody knows the answer they will answer you
[18:02] <LjL> Titan: won't make a difference.
[18:02] <minimec> Titan: Debian ;)
[18:02] <Fryguy--> Titan: they are both pretty awful for server use in my opinion
[18:03] <Titan> yeah but i don't like the looks of centos
[18:03] <LjL> !ot
[18:03] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[18:03] <Titan> I've used debain its very stable
[18:03] <Fryguy--> hyw: try selecting the safe graphics mode option
[18:03] <Fryguy--> Titan: there are plenty of other distributions available.  I personally run freebsd on my servers at home
[18:04] <kavik> bazhang, think you can solve this? when i put the live cd in my other computer (with a blank hdd to install to) the live cd worked at the beginning, however after about 2 minutes it seemed like it was running with the processor speed of a.. well.. something not good. it lagged for 1-2 minutes between anything. i couldn't move the mouse, then it would lagg for 1-2 minutes then the mouse would move. so it was impossible to install ubuntu onto
[18:04] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: i'm looking up exactly how it's done with an ipod
[18:04] <hyw> Fryguy--: ok I'll try that, thanks
[18:04] <Fryguy--> kavik: you are running it off of a CD, what type of performance are you expecting?
[18:04] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: i keep getting permission denied stuff
[18:04] <meoblast001> im mounting to my home folder
[18:05] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: try changing the umask to 000
[18:05] <kavik> fryguy, well if i put the cd in my friend's laptop and run it, it runs just fine. not too far from perfect
[18:05] <meoblast001> k
[18:05] <bazhang> kavik: sounds like a bad burn of that iso; perhaps burn a lower speed and check the md5 to make sure the iso is not corrupt
[18:05] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: i remember d oing that when i had a sansa
[18:05] <kavik> bazhang, well the cd it was running off of i ordered from ubuntu
[18:05] <bazhang> kavik: what system specs, ram cpu etc
[18:05] <kavik> bazhang, but perhaps i will try again, with another cd that i just made

[18:06] <SliMM> meoblast001: also, consider rockbox
[18:06] <kavik> bazhang, i don't remember right off the top but i remember at minimum 512MB, dual core? used to be an old windows xp computer that my friend gave me. he primarily used it for WoW
[18:07] <Nitroray> Flannel: Sorry it was Grub :$

[18:07] <meoblast001> yay
[18:07] <meoblast001> can you rockbox a fourth generation shuffle?
[18:07] <Nitroray> Fryguy--:  Thank you very much

[18:08] <kavik> ljl lol just givin you heads up
