[17:03] <gahan> how do ieasily convert a file from one encoding to another?
[17:03] <hobbzilla> Flannel: I guess it is "Administer the system" which adds/drops you from the admin group..
[17:03] <bazhang> or just click the link beci_ :}
[17:03] <Marfi> nicoleamychung, sudo apt-get install amule
[17:03] <rinaldi_> nicoleamychung: ok type "sudo apt-get install amule" in terminal
[17:03] <Chamunks> Would I be able to get a name of a software package that will let me batch transcode .flv to .avi relatively simply.
[17:03] <beci_> ok
[17:03] <beci_> bazhang

[17:11] <ubotu> melter: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[17:11] <nicoleamychung> (rinaldi and bazhang) now what should i do?, i closed everything
[17:12] <pike_> melter: 90%

[17:13] <NemesisUK> hi all, I have a strange problem when ever I try to install gutsy on my new system, during the install I get a no instalable kernel found.
[17:13] <taishi28012> is there a way to map the escape key to the right alt key
[17:13] <melter> kitche: do you think it'll catch on?
[17:14] <masterjail> hello... has anyone here installed succesfully the Canon PRIXMA MP140 printer ???
[17:14] <pike_> melter: /join #ubuntu-offtopic i was joking btw normally i recommend debian for production boxes
[17:14] <Yonie> Hey guys, how do u route an ip address in ubuntu?
[17:14] <genii> NemesisUK: Sounds like you downloaded the wrong cd image then
[17:14] <nicoleamychung> it won't let me open the synaptic package manager
[17:14] <mavi-> Yonie: like a home router?
[17:14] <melter> pike_: thanks :)
[17:14] <nicoleamychung> what should i do?
[17:14] <melter> pike_: was my question off-topic?
[17:14] <mavi-> Yonie: install firestarter, thats a nice gui to config the firewall and NAT
[17:14] <mavi-> Yonie: but if you want to do it all by yourself you need iptables
[17:15] <pike_> melter: this is more striclty support there is so much traffic that anything not related to that gets shunted to offtopic
[17:15] <brobostigon> nicoleamychung: try tunning synaptic from terminal, if it gets errors that will tell you, gksudo synaptic, that the command
[17:15] <NemesisUK> genii, thats what I thought but I installed it on my server with no problems
[17:15] <melter> pike_: ok, sorry
[17:15] <bcardarella> Would there be a reason why my headphones don't work? (yes, I already checked the volume)
[17:15] <jeezy> hi
[17:15] <neverblue> ksbalaji, which application? have you tried to run it from a terminal, to check the output for errors ?
[17:15] <nicoleamychung> ok
[17:15] <jeezy> i'd need some help
[17:15] <mavi-> bcardarella: did you also check the headphones volume?
[17:16] <fatih> hello. how can i change icons of applications ???
[17:16] <mavi-> bcardarella: or just the system one
[17:16] <czr> what is the proper channel to d-i related questions (ubuntu preseeding, gutsy)
[17:16] <Yonie> mavi-, no, i mean like route the actual connection coz im gona have 2 running similtaniously, for instance in windows xp i would just go to cmd and type "route add (ip of the net) (route to)"
[17:16] <bcardarella> mavi: all audio is cranked
[17:16] <neverblue> !ask | jeezy
[17:16] <ubotu> jeezy: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[17:16] <mavi-> Yonie: ah
[17:16] <mavi-> Yonie: route add default gw <ip-to-router>
[17:16] <bcardarella> mavi: regular speakers work.... headphones no audio. I know the headphone plug works
[17:16] <jeezy> i need help on installing ubuntu 7.10 on an ibook g4 1,3 ghz
[17:16] <adelie> how can I see what package commands / programs are members of?
[17:16] <mavi-> bcardarella: test speakers and phones in the same jack, done that?
[17:17] <taishi28012> Is there a way to map the escape key to the right alt key in ubuntu?
[17:17] <bcardarella> mavi: it's a laptop
[17:17] <jeezy> on 82% the installation stops with "false mirror server" during the apt configuration
[17:17] <brobostigon> jeesy: i have gutsy on an ibook g3, what the problem
[17:17] <nicoleamychung> it got an error when i did that
[17:17] <mavi-> bcardarella: ok, so its the same jack already?
[17:17] <ksbalaji> neverblue: Yes I tried thru terminal. Even then, opening an application takes about 5 secs. Earlier it was immediate.
[17:17] <tytilasson> Anyone know a work around for a HAL failure after an update on 8.04?
[17:17] <neverblue> jeezy have you checked the forums, or do you have a specific question about that setup ?
[17:17] <Chamunks> This just seems like something that would be awesome to know, I've found a few links via google but is there a above all guide to teach a total rookie bash scripting?
[17:17] <mavi-> bcardarella: some laptops have more then one out channel
[17:17] <jeezy> (the error is translated from german)
[17:17] <mats_> tried to connect to #ubuntu-offtopic no answer
[17:17] <adelie> taishi28012: yes... but I don't know how. I know it is possible for what it it worth
[17:17] <neverblue> ksbalaji, and the application is ?
[17:17] <mavi-> bcardarella: oh, internal speakers ofc
[17:17] <Yonie> mavi-, thanks, ill try that now :) can you also tell me how do i get the gateway, ifconf doesnt give me the gateway
[17:18] <nicoleamychung> i'm using the old version of ubuntu - brobostigon
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> tytilasson: Ask in #Ubuntu+1 for the best answers to that.
[17:18] <mavi-> Yonie: you need to get that from your ISP, it isnt something your computer knows
[17:18] <taishi28012> adelie: Thanks
[17:18] <mavi-> Yonie: try typing "route"
[17:18] <bcardarella> mavi: yeah, integrated system speakers work. Headphone jack no worky....    this one doesn't seem to have another audio out port
[17:18] <mavi-> Yonie: that will show your current router
[17:18] <frikkie> How can I access data on a harddrive? (FAT32)
[17:18] <tytilasson> ty
[17:18] <brobostigon> nicoleamychung: in terminal type the following, gksudo synaptic, and tell me what happens
[17:18] <mavi-> bcardarella: double click the speaker icon and make sure all those are turned on
[17:18] <Yonie> mavi-, thank you
[17:19] <NemesisUK> genii, maybe it's a phenom thing :(
[17:19] <nicoleamychung> bazhang - i am using the old version of ubuntu
[17:19] <bazhang> nicoleamychung: which one
[17:19] <neozen-work> hi guys
[17:19] <neozen-work> got a problem with my display
[17:19] <bazhang> hi neozen-work
[17:19] <nicoleamychung> the old version but don't know which one
[17:20] <neozen-work> about every 30 seconds, it goes dark
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> brobostigon-it says it failed
[17:20] <bcardarella> mavi: everything is on... the only thing I don't have in the volume control settings is a headphone volume option. There is nothing in the preferences that allow me to choose that either
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> bazhang-i don't know which version i'm using
[17:20] <neozen-work> switching to a virtual console and back fixes it.... until another 30 seconds passes
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> bazhang-how do i find out
[17:20] <neozen-work> ATI Mobility FireGL 9000
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> bazhang-how do i find out what version i'm actually using?
[17:20] <bazhang> is that lsb_release -a in the terminal? I forget
[17:21] <mavi-> bcardarella: you dont have that checkbox in edit->preferences?
[17:21] <Yonie> mavi-, when i type route it gives me two of the same think under destination, is that right?
[17:21] <jeezy> is there a special channel for ubuntu ppc?
[17:21] <variable_office> is there any way to get java running in 64bit firefox?
[17:21] <neozen-work> even in a virtual console (tty1), display goes dark
[17:21] <mavi-> Yonie: destinations are the networks you route to, so you can have diffrent routers to diffrent networks, the one that go to <IP_ADDRESS> is the default one
[17:21] <neozen-work> bazhang: hi there
[17:22] <bcardarella> mavi: nope
[17:22] <bcardarella> mavi: I wonder if Ubuntu installed the wrong driver for my audio card
[17:22] <bazhang> nicoleamychung: it is lsb_release -a in the terminal
[17:22] <mavi-> bcardarella: type "lspci" to see your hardware detected, then lsmod to see the loaded drivers
[17:22] <grandi> nicoleamychung, type lsb_release -d in the terminal
[17:22] <nicoleamychung> ok
[17:23] <DiDKo> hey guys i just installed ubuntu ..

[17:57] <caravel_> could anyone please help me to solve this network card issue please -- that would increase the ubuntu counter by one, allowing me to remote assist a new user ^^ otherwise he'll have to stick with windows. thank you.
[17:57] <joe_> ikonia:  I know, but I sure do appriciate the help :D

[17:57] <ubotu> caravel_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[17:57] <adelie> mavi-: but script driven
[17:58] <Whisper> h1st0 you suck i fixed it ;)
[17:58] <caravel_> (Edimax EN-9130TXL, chipset: Realtek, module: 8139too, no link)
[17:58] <caravel_> DRebellion: I got your point
[17:58] <mavi-> adelie: i think there are some dialogs and stuff ready to use from shell scripts, but if you want to make more advanced guis you should look in to python scripting
[17:58] <glaxo> some of my folders have an owner of "1026" what does this relate to ? I have no user of this name
[17:59] <ikonia> glaxo: it's a uid
[17:59] <Lunar_Lamp> glaxo, that is the users id number.
[17:59] <ikonia> glaxo: chown it to a user you do have
[17:59] <DRebellion> caravel_: have you checked output from the command 'dmesg' ?
[17:59] <h1st0> arjun: did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845&highlight=realtek+alc883
[17:59] <glaxo> thanks guys thats what I thought, it doesnt relate to any of my visible users UIDs though, I am unable to chown the directory as it is a cifs mount and I get permission denied when trying to do so
[17:59] <adelie> mavi-: for opening up windows and drawing primitives to it, you recommend python?
[18:00] <arjun> h1st0, checking it out quick
[18:00] <frikkie> The media player program does not want to play mp3 files. What do I do?
[18:00] <mavi-> adelie: i thought you ment native gui elements, to draw stuff you can use imagemagick
[18:00] <h1st0> arjun: that involves editing a file aparently
[18:00] <h1st0> arjun: maybe a better option
[18:01] <arjun> h1st0,  ok im gona check this one out quick thanx man ;)
[18:01] <DRebellion> frikkie: which media player program?
[18:01] <adelie> mavi-: both
[18:01] <wers> why isn't gtkwifi in the repos?
[18:01] <caravel_> DRebellion: yes thanks: I can see some entries "NETDEV WATCHDOG [...] timed out", related ?
[18:01] <glaxo> ikonia, Lunar_Lamp, any ideas?
[18:01] <mavi-> adelie: but yeah, i would still recomend python, and use of gtk (the native gui) and cairo, a vector gfx library to do the drawing
[18:01] <nemilar> !mp3
[18:01] <DRebellion> caravel_: yep
[18:01] <ikonia> glaxo: and ideas for what ?

[18:04] <frikkie> DRebellion, oh okay. Didnt know mp3 is proprietary

[18:06] <pteague> ikonia> k, thanks
[18:06] <glaxo> ikonia, let me check appreciate your input
[18:06] <arizon> the other ones doesn't seem to work...
[18:06] <ikonia> glaxo: thats fine
[18:06] <ikonia> arizon: define "doesn't seem to work"
[18:06] <ikonia> arizon: what card do you have
[18:06] <arizon> 7600GS
[18:06] <spyware> i have 7600gs to
[18:06] <arizon> I tried to choose them from using the "search by type of card" thing
[18:06] <ikonia> arizon: not sure which driver the 7600's fall into, I /think/ nvidia-glx-new package should work fine
[18:07] <ikonia> arizon: ubuntu has restricted drivers available for that card
[18:07] <arizon> yeah, I have the pkg
[18:07] <ikonia> arizon: are you using the package ?
[18:07] <arizon> how do I enable the restricted drivers?
[18:07] <oklopol> netstat doesn't show the port that's being hogged.
[18:07] <piyush_> how to open .chm document in linux?
[18:07] <arizon> I had to install it this way last time
[18:07] <piyush_> no help on net :(
[18:07] <arizon> didn't work otherwise
[18:07] <DRebellion> arizon: system > adminstration > restricted drivers manager
[18:07] <ikonia> arizon system --> administration --> restircted drivers manager
[18:07] <piyush_> i mean google

[18:08] <arizon> hmm.. wait a sec then, I need to start gdm, change xorg.conf to run in 2d mode otherwise it craches
[18:08] <ikonia> MitsuoDeshoDesho: partition table gone = data gone
[18:08] <arizon> but I was trying to find it earlier but I didnj't

[18:10] <ikonia> MitsuoDeshoDesho: the data is there, but without a partition table you can't do anything with it
[18:10] <nemilar> The language requirements for this channel are like on a 7th Heaven TV show
[18:10] <mats_> kodge there is one built in
[18:10] <Kodge> In Pidgin?
[18:11] <ikonia> nemilar: if you don't like it, raise a request to change it
[18:11] <ikonia> nemilar: but don't cry about it
[18:11] <arizon> I don't know how to scroll when using this ctrl alt f1 chell
[18:11] <arizon> shell
[18:11] <nemilar> ikonia: I'm not crying about it
[18:11] <DRebellion> arizon: shift + pgup/pgdown
[18:11] <arizon> I've started X now
[18:11] <mats_> Pidgin connects to MSN, Yahoo etc'
[18:11] <arizon> thanx
[18:11] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> ikonia: some stuff can read it.. but some cant
[18:11] <Kodge> mats_: Pidgin doesn't support webcam viewing
[18:11] <brobostigon> mats_: yep
[18:11] <arizon> doesn't work :S
[18:11] <glaxo> ikonia, 1026 appears to be my UID on the server
[18:11] <ikonia> glaxo: perfect
[18:11] <glaxo> ikonia, do I need to make them match?
[18:12] <ikonia> glaxo: thats the most easy way of dealing with things
[18:12] <mats_> guess not
[18:12] <arizon> I don't have the possibility to choose "restricted drivers" from the menue
[18:12] <arizon> menu
[18:12] <glaxo> ikonia, is there a preference for which end to change it at? I would hazard a guess at client end
[18:12] <ikonia> glaxo: excellent call
[18:12] <DRebellion> arizon: have you enabled the restricted sources?
[18:12] <glaxo> ikonia, can you guess my next question? ;)
[18:12] <ikonia> glaxo: how ?
[18:13] <glaxo> ikonia, we have a winner!
[18:13] <arizon> Not that I'm aware of, from synaptic?
[18:13] <ikonia> glaxo: one moment, let me just check everything you need to do
[18:13] <DRebellion> arizon: system > administration > sources
[18:13] <arizon> aight. wait
[18:13] <DRebellion> arizon: system > administration > software sources
[18:13] <arizon> DRebellion, aight, wait a sec
[18:14] <ikonia> glaxo: actually can I suggest an even easier solution, (we can do the longer one if you want)
[18:14] <glaxo> ikonia, suggest away
[18:14] <frikkie> How can I play mp3 files in v5.04?
[18:14] <magnetron> what disassemblers for linux elf binaries do you recommend?
[18:14] <xsfr> can i get a hardy package to work on gutsy?
[18:15] <ikonia> glaxo: create a group on both machines call it something like "share_access" "groupadd -g 1200 share_access" on both boxes, then add your username to that group on both the server and the client, then chown -R user:share_access the share
[18:15] <ikonia> glaxo: that way your local uid's on both client and server are safe
[18:15] <frikkie> How can I install mp3 codec on v5.04 ?
[18:15] <ikonia> frikkie: 5.04 packages have not been updated for a long time
[18:15] <arizon> DRebellion: where do I find it in that menu? I can't see any "restricted drivers" nor "drivers" option
[18:15] <glaxo> ikonia, I don't have that level of flexibility on the server side as it is a consumer NAS
[18:15] <ikonia> glaxo: does that make sense what I'm suggesting
[18:16] <arizon> no wait, i found it
[18:16] <xsfr> can i get a hardy package to work on gutsy?
[18:16] <arizon> DRebellion: it's enabled
[18:16] <ikonia> glaxo: ok - we'll do this the client way. What permissions do you want, just your user - or everyone or what ?
[18:16] <brobostigon> xsfr: no, not recommended
[18:16] <frikkie> ikonia, I dont need a new package. I just want to play mp3 files.
[18:16] <frikkie> ikonia, old package will do
[18:16] <ikonia> frikkie: does that package exist on 5.04
[18:16] <brobostigon> frikkie: try xmms, audacious
[18:16] <glaxo> ikonia, ideally my user with full access and others with read only
[18:17] <xsfr> brobostigon, does gutsy have the boost asio package?
[18:17] <ikonia> glaxo: can you show me the output of "ls $path/to/share" on your client machine in a pastebin please.
[18:17] <brobostigon> xsfr: no idea: packages,ubuntu.com
[18:17] <ikonia> glaxo: just so I can be certain what you've got
[18:17] <magnetron> frikkie: ubuntu 5.04 is not supported anymore.
[18:17] <arizon> did DRebellion leave while I was tabbed out?
[18:17] <DRebellion> arizon: still here
[18:17] <arizon> alright
[18:18] <arizon> DRebellion: It's enabled, but doesn't show up in the menu
[18:18] <frikkie> magez, Yes I see that... but it should not be that hard to get mp3s working right?
[18:18] <gigo> if i do, aptitude update; aptitude upgrade, does it only install security patches or does it upgrade some software packages too to new versions?
[18:18] <dundel> is there a way to restart ur sound driver or something, sometimes rhythmbox is just freezing and i need to reboot or logout to play music/sounds again
[18:18] <glaxo> ikonia, do you want the output of the mount point or what?
[18:18]  * DRebellion shrugs
[18:18] <arizon> DRebellion, I've set driver to "nv" in xorg to make it run at all
[18:18] <ikonia> glaxo: yeah, perfect
[18:18] <arizon> does that affect it
[18:18] <Toran> Hey guys, does anyone have any experience getting uShare to work with sharing media to an xbox 360 over a network?

[18:19] <Toran> I'm having problems. I've installed and configured ushare, but my xbox doesn't see my computer once I start it. Would that have anything to do with the fact that I'm on a campus network?

[18:20] <ikonia> arizon: if you do that, you may lose a lot of support in here

[18:23] <arizon> ikonia, give me a shout-out when you have time/would like to explain on how to go about with this

[18:28] <Sjimmie> lod____: Where is your "default language" set to? go to -> System -> Administration -> Languages
[18:28] <ikonia> glaxo: first "grep 1026 /etc/passwd" on your client

[18:29] <ikonia> glaxo: ok now what is your text editor of choice, what are you most comfortable in ?
[18:29] <lod____> it's set to english
[18:29] <erUSUL> lod____: that depends on locale ;)
[18:29] <DRebellion> frikkie: you could download the xmms source code and compile it yourself
[18:29] <ikonia> frikkie: there isn't a package for your version
[18:29] <glaxo> ikonia, i normally use gedit
[18:29] <DiDKo> DRebellion : do u know amount ind digits

[18:29] <Sjimmie> lod____: ?
[18:29] <BurakSari> Hi

[18:29] <caravel_> DRebellion: thanks for your hint
[18:29] <ikonia> glaxo: tell me when you are there
[18:29] <frikkie> ikonia, OIkay. How can I upgrade this version?
[18:29] <glaxo> ikonia, there
[18:29] <caravel_> Seems like I face this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/76489
[18:30] <arizon> I had some other irc-client last time. it showed my name in yellow when someone wrote it, does anyone know what client it is? This is ircII and it's all black :(
[18:30] <arizon> it's a dickster to read
[18:30] <ikonia> frikkie: download the ubuntu version you want, burn it, boot from it, install it
[18:30] <lod____> US, but i change it to uk and still no changes
[18:30] <caravel_> And that it is fixed on new kernels
[18:30] <DRebellion> rinaldi_: use irssi
[18:30] <frikkie> ikonia, How big is the dowload?
[18:30] <ikonia> glaxo: ok, in that file you should see your username (whatever that is) can you see it
[18:30] <erUSUL> arizon: for comman line?
[18:30] <caravel_> How to get lan connection in order to upgrade ?
[18:30] <Sjimmie> lod____: try restarting gnome, this should be it...
[18:30] <DRebellion> frikkie: 700mb

[18:30] <lod____> i'll try
[18:30] <magnetron> lod____: if you type "locale" in a terminal window, what does it say?
[18:30] <glaxo> ikonia, ok done

[18:31] <glaxo> ikonia, ok done
[18:31] <frikkie> Okay well this sucks.
[18:31] <caravel_> How can I workaround this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/76489 in order to get a temporary connection and update the kernel ?
[18:32] <DRebellion> mustafa: not really, no

[18:32] <Ernst> can anyone tell met if nvidia780i chipset and ubuntu 7.10 will work?
[18:32] <lod____> i didn't know
[18:32] <glaxo> ikonia, done
[18:32] <Pici> lod____: now you know :)
[18:32] <Sjimmie> lod____: oke, but did you restart gnome already? it should be good now
[18:32] <ikonia> glaxo: ok, now I need "gksudo gedit /etc/shadow" let me know when you are there
[18:32] <glaxo> ikonia, yep there
[18:32] <Sjimmie> lod____: if you changed your default language to UK
[18:33] <lod____> can I edit some of these locales
[18:33] <ikonia> glaxo: I need you to copy the whole line with your username in and paste it at the bottom of the file - as you did with shadow
[18:33] <glaxo> ikonia, hmm i get "user root does not exist"
[18:33] <frikkie> If I download the 700mb, and then upgrade... do I have to download 700mb every time there is an update? Or is there like an auto updater or something?
[18:33] <ikonia> glaxo: user root
[18:33] <PloneDork> installed ubuntu studio last night, booted up fine. Then did updates and now when I boot up I get an Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format error.  It then gives me the options to boot from ubutu, or recovery but does not want to boot. (ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-rt) any suggestions
[18:33] <DRebellion> frikkie: you only download what you need to update. nowhere near 700mb
[18:33] <frikkie> DRebellion, Will that continue until v8 and 9 etc?
[18:34] <brobostigon> frikkie: if you rrun an update after install, it only updates the packages that have updates
[18:34] <glaxo> ikonia, yes gksudo gedit /etc/shadow yields an alert box with "user root does not exist"
[18:34] <DRebellion> frikkie: just - 1) Download the gutsy iso image 2) Burn it to disc 3) Do a clean install
[18:34] <frikkie> DRebellion, Okay..... will do that.
[18:34] <brobostigon> do a backup
[18:34]  * arizon_ will be back in 1 min
[18:34] <ikonia> glaxo: ok - please test "sudo nano /etc/shadow"
[18:35] <glaxo> ikonia, sudo: no passwd entry for root!
[18:35] <ikonia> glaxo: thats exceptionally worrying
[18:35] <glaxo> ikonia, you're telling me!
[18:35] <brobostigon> frikkie: backup anything importent first
[18:35] <ikonia> glaxo: please test re-editing /etc/passwd
[18:35] <glaxo> ikonia, again "user root does not exist"
[18:36] <ikonia> glaxo: rats, we should have done this in single user mode
[18:36] <magnetron> glaxo: are you logged in as root?
[18:36] <ikonia> glaxo: my bad, we should have done /etc/shadow first
[18:36] <glaxo> magez, I am not
[18:36] <magnetron> glaxo: good
[18:36] <glaxo> mangetron, i am not
[18:36] <zer07> woah
[18:36] <PloneDork> hello? any suggestions?
[18:36] <glaxo> magnetron, sorry about the spellings!
[18:36] <ikonia> magnetron: it's my mistake, I've added and /etc/passwd entry before putting in a shadow enty for his password
[18:36] <DiDKo> anyvody know after i install ubuntu in safe graphics mode
[18:36] <DiDKo> what shoud i do ?
[18:37] <glaxo> ikonia, ahh I see the shadow should have come first?
[18:37]  * arizon_ is back and ready to be guided through restricted-drivers-installation/update
[18:37] <DiDKo> to boot it ?
[18:37] <magnetron> !enter | DiDKo
[18:37] <ubotu> DiDKo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[18:37] <ikonia> glaxo: not normally, but do to ubuntu's sudo config, it may have been a wiser call
[18:37] <ikonia> glaxo: it didn't hit me how it would effect sudo potentially
[18:37] <glaxo> ikonia, not to worry - do I need to restore from my image?
[18:37] <LadyNikon> hey. i am looking for a wifi adapter for my linux box.  I would like to have it as usb.  Any suggestions?
[18:37] <DRebellion> !hcl | LadyNikon
[18:37] <ubotu> LadyNikon: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[18:38] <ikonia> glaxo: no no no, just reboot into single user mode (safe mode) and remove the line from /etc/passwd at the bottom
[18:38] <LadyNikon> DRebellion: i wanted people suggestions here
[18:38] <magnetron> LadyNikon: my suggestion would be to avoid USB wifi adapters.
[18:38] <LadyNikon> magnetron: oh?
[18:38] <spleencheesmonke> anyone able to help with wireless networking.  seems my wireless card in my desktop doesnt want to connect.  keep getting dhclient: wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
[18:38] <glaxo> ikonia, please excuse my ignorance - how do I boot into single user miode?
[18:39] <ikonia> glaxo: no problem, just reboot any in your grub menu should be "recovery mode"
[18:39] <glaxo> ikonia, will do - catch you shortly
[18:39] <ikonia> glaxo: I'll be  away for about 25 minutes, I'm going to drive home then resume
[18:39] <LadyNikon> magnetron: hard to use with linux or?
[18:39] <genii> spleencheesmonke: That is just the host controller designation and not actually the ethernet adapter itself. This happens much with Realtek 8187 wireless chipsets or similar. The one you want is wlan0
[18:39] <magnetron> LadyNikon: if you check the wiki page, you'll notice that the number of USB wifi adapters with working Linux drivers is disturbingly small
[18:40] <LadyNikon> magnetron: i am looking at it now
[18:40] <lod_> 10x everyone now the first day of the week is the right one
[18:40] <caravel_> DRebellion: do you have an idea for this Realtek chipset ? I did quite a few searching but no user seems to have cured it permanently ?
[18:40] <LadyNikon> magnetron: not surprised.. which is why i asked for opinions :)
[18:40] <LadyNikon> magnetron: i dun wanna spend money or stuff that might work
[18:40] <spleencheesmonke> genii - thanks for your response.  not sure what that means really.  can i post you the  /var/log/syslog of when i try to connect wirelessly?
[18:40] <benny269> Noob ubuntu user just started here, cant seem to watch videos? any help
[18:40] <DRebellion> LadyNikon: mine works perfectly - Belkin F5D7050uk ver. 4002 with gutsy
[18:40] <magnetron> LadyNikon: i got a PCI atheros-based card, it works perfectly.
[18:40] <DRebellion> LadyNikon: with WEP. haven't tried WPA yet.
[18:40] <caravel_> DRebellion: I just can'y believe the issue is not solved, that chipset is way too popular isn't it ?
[18:41] <spleencheesmonke> genii - it was working up until yesterday.  dont think i did anything to it! :)
[18:41] <LadyNikon> magnetron: i got a congested box.. which is why i was thinking usb.
[18:41] <sandr-> does anyone know how i can fix this problem with my desktop: http://users.telenet.be/sandr/video.avi ?
[18:41] <genii> spleencheesmonke: Don't bother. Just instead use wlan0 instead of wmaster0 as the adapter you wish to use
[18:41] <LadyNikon> DRebellion: hmmm..
[18:41] <DRebellion> !codecs > benny269 (read the pm from ubotu)
[18:41] <arizon_> can I somehow install restricted drivers manager?
[18:41] <Petrov> i have xp and vmware 1.0.4. I want install ubuntu but then : asking for cache data failed en assuming drive cache: write through
[18:41] <spleencheesmonke> how do i select wlan0?
[18:41] <DRebellion> LadyNikon: mind you, gutsy is the only distro its worked properly on ;)
[18:41] <magnetron> LadyNikon: i took out one of the sound cards when i fitted this in.
[18:41] <LadyNikon> DRebellion: heh
[18:42] <DiDKo> how can i boot . from the built in shell ?
[18:42] <DiDKo> anybody knows?
[18:42] <danbhfive> arizon_: have you checked your sources yet?
[18:42] <benny269> DRebellion: thank you, before i do that, what is medibuntu?
[18:42] <LadyNikon> DiDKo: . ?
[18:42] <genii> spleencheesmonke: First see if it will start up. In Terminal:   sudo ifconfig wlan0 up                      then: ifconfig    and see if there is a stanza about it now active
[18:42] <arizon_> danbhfive: yes, it's enabled already, I have disabled and re-enabled it
[18:42] <DRebellion> benny269: basically, stuff we can't put in ubuntu for legal reasons. proprietary software/codecs and stuff
[18:42] <arizon_> danbhfive: still doesn't exist in the menu
[18:42] <sandr-> medibuntu is a distribution with many multimedia functions and restriced extras
[18:42] <magnetron> DiDKo: if you are at the shell, you already have booted. when did your ubuntu stop booting into graphical mode?
[18:42] <spleencheesmonke> genii - wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[18:43] <benny269> DRebellion: so is it a program, a distro or codecs or......?
[18:43] <DRebellion> benny269: a repository
[18:43] <danbhfive> arizon_: try using the CLI, restricted-manager
[18:43] <DRebellion> !medibuntu | benny269
[18:43] <ubotu> benny269: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[18:43] <arizon_> danbhfive: where do I find that?
[18:43] <danbhfive> arizon_: do you know how to open a terminal?
[18:43] <sandr-> does anyone know how i can fix this problem with my desktop: http://users.telenet.be/sandr/video.avi ?
[18:43] <arizon_> yes, wait a sec. I'm gonna try
[18:44] <arizon_> ;)
[18:44] <Breakage> Hi, whats gives better audio quality on huge speakers? Alsa or OSS?
[18:44] <danbhfive> arizon_: CLI is a reference to the terminal
[18:44] <genii> spleencheesmonke: 1 minute
[18:44] <spleencheesmonke> np
[18:44] <benny269> DRebellion: lol yes i tried that already but it doesnt mean much to me? whats a repository? what do i use it for? do i need it?
[18:44] <DiDKo> magnetron : stucked at the ubuntu sign for loading
[18:44] <arizon_> ah. I didn't know that
[18:44] <magnetron> sandr-: what problem?

[18:45] <arizon_> the manager
[18:45] <magnetron> DiDKo: what di you do with the computer, the last time it was booting the graphical interface?
[18:45] <danbhfive> arizon_: did it start?
[18:45] <spleencheesmonke> nope.  i learn quick though :)
[18:45] <glaxo> ikonia, troubles!
[18:45] <arizon_> what do I write
[18:45] <Tyczek> hi, what is the best method to install newest ati catalist... build package or start the installer?
[18:45] <DiDKo> magnetron : installed in in safe graphics mode....
[18:45] <DRebellion> benny269: a repository is where lots of packages are stored so you can use programs like synaptic and apt-get to download and install them automagically.
[18:45] <arizon_> danbhfive: driver gives me nothing when tabbing
[18:45] <danbhfive> arizon_: on the terminal? or in the manager?
[18:45] <ouellettesr> hello, im having trouble with my gps device, it keeps switching between /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyACM0
[18:45] <LadyNikon> i see broadcom is still being a pain in the devices..
[18:45] <gradin> anybody know of a good thumbnail generating program thats actually in the repositories
[18:46] <spleencheesmonke> am at pastebin.com now
[18:46] <Jupp2> I have an old laptop with a semi-working cdrom drive, the drive is good enough to boot into a live session in ubuntu, not good enough to go trough a full install. My questions is: is there a way to boot from a CD and install from a usb drive (my old laptop won't boot from usb)?
[18:46] <arizon_> I have the terminal open, but I can't get any manager started, since I don't know what to write in the terminal to start the mgr
[18:46] <benny269> DRebellion: so what popular packages are included under medibuntu?
[18:46] <glaxo> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53064/ thats what I get when trying to run single user login
[18:46] <genii> spleencheesmonke: If nt glaxo just told the channel bot to provide the address of it, above. So copy into a pastebin the results of:  lsmod            then: cat /etc/network/interfaces     and: lspci   and: lsusb
[18:46] <brobostigon> gradin: gthumb
[18:46] <DiDKo> magnetron : any clue ?
[18:46] <danbhfive> arizon_: please continue to cite my name, it makes it easier for me.  The command is restricted-manager
[18:46] <arizon_> yeah, sorry
[18:47] <arizon_> danbhfive: ok, I'll try
[18:47] <DRebellion> benny269: packages for playing proprietary formats like your videos. what format are they in?
[18:47] <arizon_> danbhfive: one sec
[18:47] <Eat_pici> How do I install a .tgz file?
[18:47] <magnetron> DiDKo: what "safe graphics mode" are you talking about? and what did you install? ubuntu has no "safe graphics mode", is this something you did in windows?
[18:47] <DRebellion> !make | Eat_pici
[18:47] <ubotu> Eat_pici: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[18:47] <ouellettesr> benny269: http://medibuntu.org/packages.php
[18:47] <Eat_pici> sweet!
[18:47] <arizon_> danbhfive: i'll do an apt-get since it's not installed
[18:47] <pike_> Eat_pici: unpack it then take a look at the install or readme file it varies. id recommend looking for a deb or something
[18:47] <spleencheesmonke> do i put lsmod into terminal?
[18:47] <danbhfive> arizon_: hmmm, thats not right
[18:47] <DiDKo> magnetron ubuntu 7.10 64
[18:47] <danbhfive> arizon_: is this vanilla ubuntu?
[18:47] <arizon_> arizon@arizon-desktop:~$ restricted-manager
[18:47] <arizon_> The program 'restricted-manager' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[18:47] <arizon_> sudo apt-get install restricted-manager
[18:47] <DiDKo> magnetron right under install ....
[18:48] <DRebellion> spleencheesmonke: yars
[18:48] <arizon_> danbhfive: no It's ordinary gnome kernel ubuntu
[18:48] <magnetron> DiDKo: sorry, i don't understand.
[18:48] <danbhfive> arizon_: try running this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:48] <PriceChild> arizon_, did you install ubuntu, or is it linux mint, ubuntu ultimate etc. ?
[18:48] <arizon_> no ubuntu gutsy
[18:48] <ouellettesr> anyone know anything about gps devices?
[18:49] <arizon_> danbhfive: why would I want to install ubuntu desktop?
[18:49] <arizon_> :O
[18:49] <Enano> Hi! I have windows with Ubuntu, dualboot. I'm gonna re-install ubuntu, I've DLed the live DVD and booted from it, but it won't let me select "install ubunutu" from it. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!
[18:49] <sybariten> i'm running a ubuntu live install from a USB memory, with one of those persistent partitions. I can no longer install apps via apt, it complains about no space. Can someone guide me through how i can find out if i can ditch something, things arent working out here.
[18:49] <brobostigon> arizon_: ubuntu-desktop package guves you gnome DE
[18:49] <sybariten> i have done df -h but it doesnt work, actually
[18:49] <DiDKo> magnetron when i try to staart my pc ... it goes to the built in shell
[18:49] <danbhfive> arizon_: well, you can fix the restricted manager, but the root problem, i believe is that you don't have a full installation, for whatever reason
[18:49] <DiDKo> what to do ?
[18:50] <benny269> DRebellion: I'
[18:50] <mustafa> to make compiz available .. what should I do?
[18:50] <benny269> I'm not sure, i think divx
[18:50] <danbhfive> arizon_: installing ubuntu-desktop gives you a full installation, or at least close to it
[18:50] <spleencheesmonke> genii - done
[18:50] <spleencheesmonke> seperated entrys by ---------
[18:50] <arizon_> danbhfive: I did install that, but still haven't got the restricted-manager
[18:50] <danbhfive> arizon_: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^
[18:51] <arizon_> danbhfive: I originally upgraded from feisty, but then I installed gutsy from a liveCD
[18:51] <benny269> DRebellion: I think divx
[18:51] <arizon_> danbhfive: is the difference the ^?
[18:51] <magnetron> DiDKo: i know that your computer goes to the shell at start, but i don't know why. i was hoping you could tell me what can have caused this, what you were doing the last time the computer functioned normally.
[18:51] <ompaul> scott85678 one only please
[18:51] <danbhfive> arizon_: a fresh install, yes, the ^ makes it different
[18:51] <arizon_> danbhfive: BIG difference.. the other one was like..one pgk
[18:52] <danbhfive> arizon_: a fresh install?
[18:52] <arizon_> danbhfive: yeah, LOADS of stuff, compared to what I first did
[18:52] <DRebellion> benny269: sudo apt-get install avifile-divx-plugin

[19:02] <PloneDork> h1st0: do you think I am better off doing a complete reinstall with ubu defaults, I have no data stored...freshly reformatted disks
[19:03] <h1st0> PloneDork: yeah let the installer partition your drive sounds like you messed up a pointer or something.
[19:03] <asdwdf> hey

[19:04] <magnetron> Linoman: is it an internal or external wireless card that you are trying to got to work? is it an USB device?
[19:04] <dissident> i installed it and it works but i cannot see through it, it doesn't show anything, only black screen
[19:04] <ouellettesr> anyone know why my gps device registers as ttyUSB0 and then changes to ttyACM0
[19:04] <arizon> well, I discovered that it was already enabled, which means it works!!!
[19:04] <dissident> do i have to install some kind of videoplayer in virtualbox

[19:05] <filthpig> !vm
[19:05] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications

[19:06] <filthpig> huh?
[19:06] <glaxo> ikonia, you there?

[19:08] <magnetron> Linoman: that may be it
[19:08] <dissident> what do i have to install to actually use my webcam, it only shows black screen , everthing is installed
[19:08] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: why shouldn't it be using that much?
[19:08] <Linoman> magnetron so what do i do next? where can i start looking?
[19:09] <jm-didi> ?
[19:09] <magnetron> poisonkiller: run the system monitor and tell us which program is using all the ram
[19:09] <IgorSobreira> hi all.. have two processes using all my CPU: gnome-settings-* and gnome-volume-ma* anybody knows what could be the problem?
[19:09] <abuyazan> hwllo
[19:09] <h1st0> dissident: that stuff you may have to ask the virtualbox people.  I don't know if they ever implemented hardware support like that.
[19:10] <h1st0> IgorSobreira: the processes just hung maybe?
[19:10] <abuyazan> i have ubuntu 7.10 on HP laptop but last week the sound control buttons become not functioning

[19:11] <dissident> ok
[19:11] <h1st0> mustafa: your video driver
[19:11] <h1st0> mustafa: what type of video card do you have?
[19:11] <magnetron> Linoman: you could start googling for your laptop model and linux, or you could google for the line that show up in lsusb. i can't provide more help then that, without knowing which card you have. you could also ask your manufacturer.
[19:11] <poisonkiller> magnetron: it seems like nothing is using memory, but 100% is still used :D
[19:12] <dissident> where to find channel for virtualbox
[19:12] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: i have a trick command that may shed some light, wana try it?
[19:12] <magnetron> poisonkiller: where did you read that ubuntu is using 100% of your ram?
[19:12] <mustafa> hlst0: ati radeon I think .. I have in 'restricted drivers' turned on the ati driver
[19:12] <poisonkiller> danbhfive: maybe, depends on that command :P
[19:13] <h1st0> mustafa: then it should be working try joining #compiz-fusion channel
[19:13] <h1st0> mustafa: they will be able to help you more.
[19:13] <poisonkiller> magnetron: under System Monitor, Resources
[19:13] <Linoman> magnetron: yes I'm aware of that, and i already try it, this is what i got from gateway website http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Q106/BladeK8F/6008038R/6008038Rmv.shtml and there i found realtek but i cant seem to find the model or maybe is not supported yet
[19:13] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches              some say its teh dangerous, but according to docs, and my experience, its fine
[19:13] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: type your password twice if you need to
[19:14] <mustafa> Linoman: your problem .. was it wireless device?
[19:14] <genii> spleencheesmonke: So it's a CardBus based rt2500 adapter then
[19:14] <spleencheesmonke> genii - indeed.
[19:14] <poisonkiller> danbhfive: what could it do, if it went wrong?
[19:14] <spleencheesmonke> ralink i think. ra0
[19:14] <Mauro__> Hi I have a problem with the installer
[19:14] <Linoman> yes it is, i guess the main problem is me because i cant find my wireless model so i can look for the libraries to make it work
[19:14] <kinections> the documentation here seems to be incorrect https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html. I cannot find the pacakage ntp-simple. however, ntp is available and installs ntpd
[19:14] <spleencheesmonke> was working fine up until the other day. like i said, not sure that i did anything to make it stop working
[19:15] <medfly> i got this floppy device that connects with a parallel port.. i wanna use it. do i mount it by mounting /dev/fd0, or do i need something different? (and what)
[19:15] <connected> excuse I want to play HABBO but apra nesecito it the Shockwave but is not compatible with linux. Is no algun compatible program with linux?
[19:15] <Mauro__> with gutsy, its not loading the mpt driver
[19:15] <neverblue> Mauro__, just state your question please, on a single line, thanks!
[19:15] <Mauro__> oh sorry
[19:15] <kinections> can anybody else confirm what I am seeing?
[19:15] <mustafa> Linoman: I had a similar problem .. solved it halfway yesterday .. I had a realtek 81-something ..
[19:15] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: well, supposedly, it could corrupt any unsaved files, but it specifically states that it won't do that.  Its part of the kernel, so if you are trusting enough to run linux, then you can probably trust the command
[19:16] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: sync will protect you though
[19:16] <Mauro__> Is there an option to load the mpt SAS driver at boot time while installing a server with 7.10?

[19:25] <holycow> histo: and i fairly clear in my instructions
[19:25] <holycow> thank you

[19:26] <histo> Blinkiz: latency
[19:26] <staan-> desertc: yep its working perfectly, I can enter the help menu in there etc. maybe the problem is that I already have Ubuntu on a partition on the disk?
[19:27] <histo> Blinkiz: although i'm not sure on the virtual
[19:27] <desertc> staan-: I wonder.  Sorry, I can't help you any further.  :(
[19:27] <Blinkiz> histo: Okay, so the server has lower latency? Am currently installing a server os inside a virtualbox vm
[19:27] <histo> Blinkiz: it has a low latency kernel yes.
[19:27] <spleencheesmonke> genii - still no luck.  NetworkManager: <info>  Old device 'ra0' activating, won't change.  keep getting this in /var/log/syslog
[19:28] <staan-> desertc: np mate, thanks anyways :) btw, how would you do it if you were to reinstall ubuntu?

[19:29] <histo> dru: crossover should offer support since its a paid application.
[19:29] <dru> it does and it installs it
[19:29] <dru> but i cant find crossover or photoshop
[19:29] <histo> frost0: Are you trying to install windows after ubuntu I take it?

[19:30] <histo> dru: Then you may need to contact them.
[19:30] <dru> i did

[19:30] <frost0> histo, yes sir.
[19:31] <frost0> histo, can i use another hard drive as a slave?

[19:31] <histo> glaxo: or what pike said
[19:31] <Blinkiz> histo: I found a new guestion. I have installed ubuntu in cli mode. So its clean. If I want the lower latency kernel, I also have to install that one. Have downloaded linux-kernel-server but how do I install the kernel for the server? What package is it?
[19:32] <histo> Blinkiz: hold up
[19:32] <mustafa> Linoman: I was happy too when my wireless worked
[19:32] <riaal> aboed: just added a sound when someone wright my name
[19:32] <frost0> histo, is my idea right though....
[19:32] <Blinkiz> Anyone, how do I search in the repository for files from the command prompt in linux?
[19:33] <frost0> histo, add slave?
[19:33] <aboed> riaal: ah, good for you
[19:33] <Linoman> mustafa: i have a quick question. gimme a sec
[19:33] <Pici> Blinkiz: apt-cache search stuff OR aptitude search stuff
[19:33] <mustafa> Linoman: but I haven't tried out if making the wireless device load on startup works
[19:33] <kitche> Blinkiz: apt-cache search <file>
[19:33] <Blinkiz> nice
[19:33] <histo> frost0: Making a harddrive slave really doesn't matter.  I'm not sure I quite understand your idea.
[19:34] <Pici> Blinkiz: Or... if you're looking for a file within a package, apt-file search stuff.ext  (you'll need to install the apt-file package first)
[19:34] <histo> Blinkiz: linux-image-`uname -r`-server
[19:34] <steveire> Hi. I've done ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>How now do I copy a file on the server to my laptop?
[19:34] <frost0> histo, can i use both....and have 2 seperate hard drives?
[19:34] <desertc> mustafa: sorry buddy - the text to path thing?  I drew a line with the pencil, and it looks like it is an accepted path.  I do Text -> Put on Path, and it says to select the text and a path ... when I do, nothing happens.   Nice command :)
[19:34] <Linoman> it says something about that
[19:34] <Pici> histo: uname -r includes 'server' if you're running the server kernel
[19:34] <viktor> I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10, does anyone know where i can find an .iso since I'd like to reinstall ubuntu :) thanks a bunch!
[19:34] <pike_> !scp | steveire
[19:34] <ubotu> steveire: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/

[19:34] <dissident> can someone maybe tell me how to manage imgburn so i can use it in virtualbox
[19:34] <steveire> thanks pike_
[19:34] <frost0> histo, how?
[19:35] <pteague> i can't seem to get the server kernel to play nice with the nvidia driver :(
[19:35] <dissident> i managed it in opensuse but forgot how
[19:35] <histo> Blinkiz: thats the name of the package you would have to sudo apt-get install linux-image-`uname -r`-server
[19:35] <steveire> pike_: I'm not sure I get it though. Do I use localhost for host?
[19:35] <histo> Blinkiz: the uname -r should just pull your current kernel number if not you may have to put it in 2.6.22-14 or whatever.
[19:36] <frost0> histo, is it hard?
[19:36] <viktor> ubuntu gutsy gibbon is that the same as ubuntu gutsy? =)
[19:36] <histo> Blinkiz: yeah that wouldn't work you have to type ni the version number
[19:36] <histo> Blinkiz: so it would be sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-server
[19:36] <pike_> steveire: so like scp username@servermachine:filename /local/copy/path
[19:36] <frost0> histo, please say its easy ? :)
[19:37] <histo> frost0: its not hard if you know what you are doing. There is documentation.
[19:37] <Blinkiz> histo: It's okay, I got the kernel. linux-image-2.6.22-14-server was the package
[19:37] <pike_> steveire: and just reverse putting local path first to move to server
[19:37] <Blinkiz> histo: Thank you for the help
[19:37] <frost0> histo, linkage por favor?
[19:37] <histo> frost0: basically you could plug in the other drive unplug the ubuntu drive and install windows.  That way you know its safe.  Then plug in the ubuntu drive and reinstall grub.
[19:37] <steveire> pike_: OK thanks. So I don't ssh in first? I run that as 'stephen' on my laptop?
[19:37] <histo> !dualboot > frost0,   frost0 Read the private message from ubotu.

[19:43] <spleencheesmonke> genii - still no luck :(
[19:43] <histo> frost0: assuming you set it up properly
[19:44] <frost0> histo, last question....:)....does it matter which cord i use for my next hd?
[19:44] <histo> frost0: not exactly you can have two ide drives on each cable.  You just have to set the jumpers on the back of the drive accordingly one master and one slave.

[19:49] <Blinkiz> histo: Is the "Linux additions" that comes with vitualbox. It adds modules in the kernel do accelerate the VM without the need for hardware virtualization like Intels VT-x
[19:49] <histo> DiDKo: just give it a few minutes someone will get to you also you may want to post the error message you were getting.
[19:50] <glaxo> well that sort of worked (changing my UID) but I was locked out of my /home !
[19:50] <pteague> figured out my problem... was setting mem=4096 in grub/menu.list instead of mem=4096m
[19:50] <histo> Blinkiz: ahh no idea on how that works.  Make sure you have the headers for the kernel the vm is running.  And possibly ask the #virtualbox peeps

It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
