[09:15] <jo_> hehehehhe
[09:15] <RageMax> is there a way to rerun the update-manager to correct all of the /etc changes after I already upgraded to edgy by changing the values in sources.list. I see that I don't have all of the UUID changes that I had in my clean edgy install
[09:15] <dcordes> any ops in here?
[09:15] <AlexC_> dcordes: why's that?
[09:15] <LjL> dcordes: what is the matter?

[09:15] <snez> is there a way to find the MAJOR and MINOR numbers of a device ?
[09:16] <ompaul> snez, that no longer matters in with udev
[09:16] <ompaul> snez, if the module is in available it device node is created
[09:17] <Shadeline> how do i change the permissions of a file if I am the admin.

[09:17] <sageek> I'm repeating my Q since nobody replied.
[09:17] <ompaul> Shadeline, what stuff do you want to change?
[09:17] <sageek> I'v installed ubuntu recenetly and grub too, tho i can't add my old win xp into grub menu.lst, when i try to boot its says unsupported executable format
[09:18] <Shadeline> just one file.. I can go to the guest area and switch users.. but i just wish to do it from here.. hello.c
[09:18] <RageMax> my distro is all wonky because I didn't use the update-manager
[09:19] <ompaul> Shadeline, okay, I was asking because some people change programs that should not be changed and then wonder why the box does not work
[09:19] <dcordes> AlexC_, LjL : did you get the query?
[09:19] <me> hello fellas
[09:19] <Shadeline> what do i need to do to make it avaible to me?
[09:19] <rmd_> hoagie, that's all wonky.  i've got no clue.  in lieu of my knowing how to fix your problem... i would say that BitTornado is just as good and takes up far fewer resources.
[09:20] <necronz> @!_UnDer
[09:20] <scoates> hello
[09:20] <necronz> HeLLo

[09:21] <AlexC_> chipdip: if you select 'nv' as the driver, yes
[09:21] <chipdip> alright
[09:21] <scoates> something is eating my CPU, and it's not showing up in top (shows the %user high--80%, but doesn't show any processes that are using that much (even summed)). Any idea why that would happen?
[09:21] <AlexC_> chipdip: you'll have to do, in terminal "sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:21] <amigrave> Hi, got this dependency problem on edgy : apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev :  libsdl1.2-dev: Depends: libdirectfb-dev (>= 0.9.22) but it is not going to be installed     (anyone can help ?)
[09:21] <chipdip> yep
[09:21] <chipdip> I know how to configure it, I just wanted to know if it would recognize it
[09:21] <AlexC_> chipdip: ahh, just make sure =)
[09:21] <chipdip> It wihehe
[09:21] <chipdip> erm
[09:22] <chipdip> ehe
[09:22] <chipdip> wasnt the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[09:22] <necronz> _+!-
[09:22] <melih_> how can i restart my x server?
[09:22] <AlexC_> amigrave: you may need extra repositors enabled, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html
[09:22] <AlexC_> melih_: ctrl+alt+backspace
[09:22] <scoates> looks similar to this: http://www.phpdoc.info/images/brokentop.png (this was from yesterday)
[09:22] <amigrave> AlexC_: got universe and multiverse
[09:23] <Shadeline> is there a C programming channel in this irc?
[09:23] <hoagie> When i start azureus it crashes upon opening any ideas?
[09:23] <melih_> but al my xpgrammms like firefox .. shuting down, too ...right?
[09:23] <ompaul> Shadeline, try #C
[09:23] <RageMax> what packages moves fstab and grub to the UUID nomenclature?
[09:23] <ompaul> Shadeline, and don't put that # in the wrong place :)
[09:23] <AlexC_> chipdip: nope, afaik it's dpkg --reconfigure
[09:23] <Shadeline> it requires a invitation on ly..
[09:23] <chipdip> ah
[09:23] <Shadeline> oh
[09:23] <Shadeline> no such channel as C
[09:23] <RageMax> AlexC_: it's dpkg-reconfigure
[09:23] <ompaul> Shadeline, gcc might help the compiler channel
[09:23] <chipdip> Thought so
[09:24] <kunal> can anyone tell me about a good rdc client for ubuntu
[09:24] <chipdip> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:24] <chipdip> Im sure, I just tried on a server here
[09:24] <Shadeline> compiler channel?
[09:24] <AlexC_> weird! could have sworn it was --reconfigure lol
[09:24] <kunal> ?
[09:24] <chipdip> heh
[09:24] <ompaul> Shadeline, /join #gcc ?
[09:24] <chipdip> I may as well try that too, maybe that can be used too
[09:25] <AlexC_> chipdip: just tried it, it's a no go :P

[09:27] <ompaul> kunal, I hate to say if you click on applications internet there might be a terminal server client if it is for that other o/s if not you can do sudo apt-get install xtightvnc
[09:27] <dcordes> ompaul: i didn't know about the possibility to /msg the bots. thanks for this piece of information

[09:28] <AlexC_> lyam: /etc/init.d ?

[09:29] <bauer77> I did df -h but I dont see the extra space I should have there
[09:30] <AlexC_> bauer77: maybe someone filled it up :P

[09:36] <lyam> is where an utility what manages daemons on Edgy?

[09:45] <shatrat> dm82m, its certainly possible to compile something in a tarball, and you can install rpms with alien but I wouldnt do that except as a last resort.  Look for a repository or at least a .deb of the program you want

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. E: Package nvidia-glx has no installation candidate"

[10:14] <PCGenie> dcordes, hello, I did that, what I want to do is be able to edit the history
[10:14] <ompaul> scoates, usuall if there was something really eating CPU it would be sitting there on the top of top - but if not then you got issues maybe you have a very fast process - what is the load on the box like
[10:14] <posingaspopular> wheels3572: why don't you just meet in another room? i use #flood all the time
[10:14] <ompaul> cory_, not needed

[10:15] <dyrne> Orfeous: ive heard good things about kdebluetooth
[10:15] <PCGenie> dcordes, I mean I would like to use a command switch such history -d
[10:15] <scoates> ompaul: yes, I expect top to show the processes that are eating CPU.. that's my problem
[10:15] <dcordes> PCGenie: ah you whish to get rid of evidence? bad guy. gedit ~/.bash_history - you can also remove it: rm -r ~/.bash_history
[10:15] <ompaul> scoates, put ps auwx into http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:15] <Orfeous> dyrne, ok, i want to connect to it and transfer pictures etc..
[10:15] <ompaul> scoates, there are exceptions
[10:15] <wheels3572> gortba_, see you in #flood
[10:15] <Yodude> so can anyone help?
[10:16] <Orfeous> dyrne, i have read that my phone is supported
[10:16] <dcordes> PCGenie: what do you mean b command switch?
[10:16] <dcordes> by
[10:16] <ompaul> scoates, read the mailing list on www.linux.ie back about two weeks for something on the same subject
[10:16] <gortba_> wheels3572: Ok. It's going to take a minute for me to do this
[10:17] <up365> grayscale, did you follow instructions from a site like this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301499  Is this Dapper or Edgy ?
[10:17] <wheels3572> gortba_, ok
[10:17] <grayscale> up365, and I wasnt trying to run something like compiz or beryl, just when i edit my xorg.conf to module "nvidia" it says nvidia doesnt exist even after installing the proper packages
[10:17] <grayscale> Dapper
[10:17] <scoates> ompaul: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6630/
[10:18] <dyrne> Orfeous: i havent fooled with bluetooth im waiting for the neo to come out before spending much on a phone but id check the wiki or ubuntuforums.org because scanning and stuff the commands at least from cli are a little weird see install maybe bluez-gnome too see what tools you prefer
[10:18] <OuZo__> hi, i am trying to join the java channel but i get this message:  ##java :You need to be identified to join that channel
[10:18] <posingaspopular> msg nickserv
[10:18] <ompaul> !register > OuZo__ (read the message from the bot)
[10:18] <blueCmd> is there any way to packetize an ubuntuinstallation for easy rollout? Like say it should install these packages, copy those files from a server and partiton like that
[10:18] <OuZo__> ompaul: thanks
[10:19] <Yodude> can i get some OpenOffice help please??
[10:19] <scoates> blueCmd: you could create a virtual package for apt that has dependencies on everything you want to install, I think
[10:19] <ezekiel72> why when i install php5 it doesnt install any of the extensions?
[10:19] <dcordes> Yodude: what is it?
[10:19] <dcordes> !ask | Yodude
[10:19] <ubotu> Yodude: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:19] <PCGenie> dcordes, haha-evidence
[10:19] <cchance> What can i use to broadcast to a shoutcast server?
[10:19] <scoates> ezekiel72: you should install them with php5-sqlite (for example)
[10:19] <cor1> i cant upgrade to edgy i tried:
[10:19] <cor1> sudp apt-get upgrade
[10:19] <Yodude> dcordes: i can't change the theme
[10:20] <cor1> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:20] <blueCmd> scoates: Nice idea :)
[10:20] <mcquaid> ok this is annoying, I downloaded and burnt a bunch of windows software for a friend cause I'm setting up his machine.
[10:20] <Yodude> dcordes: lol i really want to change my theme to crystal but all i can change to is Industrial icons and Default icons
[10:20] <ardchoille> cor1: That won't upgrade yo to Edgy
[10:20] <mcquaid> all the exe had .bin added to them, and even when I removed them, his windows box said these are not valid installers
[10:20] <Grenadier> Hi guys, I have a quick question... when I try to use aptitude or apt-get for anything, it gives me three packages that were "automatically kept back"...I think it's the next kernel version
[10:20] <ardchoille> !upgrade
[10:20] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:20] <carlos> I trying to install ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS in a Dell PowerEdge 840 with LSI RAID 1 , when the installation try to detect the disk nothing appear -- --
[10:20] <posingaspopular> it's not a feature mcquaid
[10:20] <cor1> ardchoille: how do i upgrade to edgy then
[10:20] <ghadi> hey guys
[10:20] <dcordes> Yodude: did you try the OO documentation?
[10:20] <cchance> What can i use to broadcast to a shoutcast server
[10:20] <scoates> ompaul: any idea what that linux.ie thread was called?
[10:20] <posingaspopular> though honestly i dont know abotu burning anything in ubuntu
[10:21] <blueCmd> ki.ubuntu.com//LiveCDCustomizationHowTo :(
[10:21] <ardchoille> !upgrade > cor1
[10:21] <ompaul> scoates, it was to do with cpu iirc but I would have to look that up
[10:21] <carlos> can anyone help me?
[10:21] <Yodude> dcordes: i do know how to change the theme, it's just not working
[10:21] <scoates> ompaul: thanks. notice anything weird in my ps output?
[10:21] <ardchoille> Grenadier: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:21] <dyrne> cchance: alot of people use darkice or icecast
[10:21] <dcordes> Yodude: sorry i can't help you with that one- never tried to change my theme in oo
[10:21] <Yodude> dcordes: when i go to tools-Options-Openoffice.org-View and change the icons to Crystal nothing happens
[10:22] <Grenadier> ardchoille: Could that possibly screw anything up?
[10:22] <ompaul> scoates, I think the X : -query is a bit high
[10:22] <ghadi> i got a gst player. the name of file = gst-player-0.8.0.tar.gz i read the installation instructions inside but still couldn't undestood how to install the package, what's the command that i must write plz?
[10:22] <dcordes> Yodude: you restarted oo?
[10:22] <posingaspopular> untar
[10:22] <ardchoille> Grenadier: No, it just updates the kernel.
[10:22] <scoates> ompaul: ok. any idea how I can "fix" that?
[10:22] <dcordes> PCGenie: i was just making some fun
[10:22] <rmd_> holy crap.  i wasnt even aware that open office had theme support...
[10:22] <ardchoille> Grenadier: Are you on Dapper?
[10:22] <Yodude> dcordes: yes n didn't work
[10:22] <ardchoille> rmd_: Neither was I
[10:22] <dcordes> Yodude: i dunno then sorry
[10:22] <Grenadier> ardchoille: And is there anything I need to worry about if I do it remotely over SSH instead of in front of the physical computer? Could it screw it up for people using the computer's GUI?
[10:22] <posingaspopular> ummm i forget how to do that though
[10:23] <up365> grayscale, you have to be careful which drivers you install check out that link I posted and compare to what you did. I used these directions for Edgy and my previous Dapper for my old GeForce3
[10:23] <cchance> dyrne, are any of them gui
[10:23] <cor1> thanks ardchoille it worked!
[10:23] <ardchoille> cor1: You're welcome :)
[10:23] <Yodude> dcrodes: k thnkx anyway
[10:23] <matason> Hi any ideas where I can find a php4 package for ubuntu?
[10:23] <christianp> hi all
[10:23] <ardchoille> Grenadier: Are you on Dapper?
[10:23] <ghadi> i got a gst player. the name of file = gst-player-0.8.0.tar.gz i read the installation instructions inside but still couldn't undestood how to install the package, what's the command that i must write plz?
[10:23] <scoates> matason: apt-get install php4
[10:23] <Grenadier> ardchoille: No, I'm on Edgy, but there was a new version of the kernel released, so I think that's why
[10:23] <Yodude> is there anyone who can help me with OpenOffice? i got a problem with my icons themes in version 2.0.4
[10:23] <cor1> ardchollie the stuff they told me to do crashed my system then i had to reinstall and i was up tiol 3 am
[10:24] <matason> When I do apt-get install php4 I get "Couldn't find package php4"
[10:24] <ardchoille> Grenadier: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will update those packages that were auto held back. It's safe to do.
[10:24] <dsquare> vi .gtkrc-2.02  <--- how do i edit this please? i have already edited it once..
[10:24] <ompaul> scoates, restart it - ehh I was mistaken the thread was about high disk access
[10:24] <scoates> matason: I have it in edgy
[10:24] <domelaci> first time user says to you guys, thanx a lot, for getting me off the XP!!
[10:24] <Grenadier> ardchoille: Ah, that's what I needed to know...many thanks. :)
[10:24] <ghadi> please how can i install a .tar.gz file into my system?
[10:24] <ardchoille> Grenadier: You're welcome :)
[10:24] <matason> Right I am on dapper
[10:24] <posingaspopular> ghadi: untar it
[10:24] <christianp> i installed ubuntu 6.10... i'm coming from ubuntu 6.06 and i notice edgy doesn't find my disks, so i'm looking for the utility called disks in my old dapper instance, but i can't find it in the menu "system"
[10:25] <posingaspopular> where is the file?
[10:25] <scoates> ompaul: this is a recurring problem. I'm sure I can solve it by dumping X, but it'll happen again in a few hours
[10:25] <christianp> where can i find it?
[10:25] <ompaul> scoates, but ehh really I would not be worried it seems like the machine is not even breaking into a sweat
[10:25] <rmd_> ghadi, you don't install a tar.gz file into your system.  you unzip it, untar it, and then do something with the files inside.
[10:25] <ghadi> posingaspopular,  i did man, i don't know what i should write in the terminal to install it..
[10:25] <scoates> well, my CPU is very hot (fan's high) and that kills battery in a hurry..
[10:25] <scoates> ompaul: ^
[10:25] <posingaspopular> oh man i know the command, but i forget it
[10:26] <ompaul> scoates, ahh laptop - then I would not be running asterisk and lots of other things there
[10:26] <ompaul> scoates, apache and the like when in "laptop mode"
[10:26] <jrib> ghadi: what are you trying to install?
[10:26] <scoates> ompaul:  yeah.. asterisk was for a demo I did last week.. I guess I could kill it..  my main concern is that top is lying about CPU usage
[10:26] <scoates> ompaul:  I actually need apache and asterisk for development, even when in laptop mode (-:
[10:27] <ghadi> jrib, a gst player, to play my mp3 and video files
[10:27] <ompaul> scoates, well do it in a terminal with no X
[10:27] <scoates> I hear you, though.
[10:27] <ghadi> i got the prog but am a new linux user , don't even know how to install it
[10:27] <ompaul> scoates, well consider less threads and lower nice on it
[10:27] <esaym> Is there an "auto-save" feature in open office?
[10:27] <ghadi> i extracted the files,, then ow can i continue plz?
[10:27] <dsquare> can anyone tell me how to edit vi .gtkrc-2.02  but also keep my existing settings??
[10:27] <ezekiel72> someone wanna help me get my lamp setup up and running? cause ive got the server and php working and phpmyadmin works its just that when i try to install a cms it says that it needs php installed with the mysql extension and i search for the extension and i dont even have it on my computer
[10:27] <ompaul> esaym, there is tools options load / save might be of use
[10:28] <scoates> ompaul: heh.. that makes for ugly slides during a presentation (-:  anyway, if it's a matter of killing of tasks, I'm ok with that, but top lying about processes doesn't sound kosher to me
[10:28] <dcordes> esaym: yes. and it's activated automatically
[10:28] <rbil> ghadi: isn't there a readme in that tar?
[10:28] <ghadi> yes
[10:28] <davin> Hello, I have AMD Athlon 64 CPU. I'm currently running Dapper with a 386 kernel. Do I have any benefits over using a 64bit kernel? And will all my programs still work?
[10:28] <jrib> ghadi: I don't know what a "gst player" is but there are plenty of programs in the repositories that play mp3's and videos.  Why not use one of those?
[10:28] <ompaul> scoates, it is a photograph not a graph over time
[10:28] <rbil> ghadi: well it should give u instructions
[10:28] <dcordes> davin: this depends on the programs you are using
[10:28] <xxl3w> i've already installed ubuntu, but there was many errors with installing a bootloader, so i rebooted and used the CD to go into rescue mode
[10:28] <KNY> does edgy ship with v4l2 by default?
[10:28] <ghadi> jrib, what kind of progs? xmms? it's not installed on my system
[10:28] <scoates> ompaul: understood.. I can watch it for minutes at a time, though, and high-use processes never show up
[10:28] <xxl3w> well, GRUB is now installed, but I don't know how to configure it
[10:28] <ezekiel72> someone wanna help me get my lamp setup up and running? cause ive got the server and php working and phpmyadmin works its just that when i try to install a cms it says that it needs php installed with the mysql extension and i search for the extension and i dont even have it on my computer
[10:29] <jrib> ghadi: no, for example totem and rhythmbox
[10:29] <ompaul> scoates, top is a heavy load
[10:29] <jrib> !mp3  | ghadi
[10:29] <ubotu> ghadi: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:29] <KNY> ezekiel72, sudo apt-get install php-mysql
[10:29] <ghadi> totem couldn';t opne the mp3 files
[10:29] <scoates> ompaul: I'd expect top to show itself, though.. (and it does)
[10:29] <ezekiel72> kny, i already did that
[10:29] <jrib> ghadi: please read the links from ubotu
[10:29] <eyalw> say, why does the new beryl update dropped the snow plugin, it was cool
[10:29] <xxl3w> i've already installed ubuntu, but there was many errors with installing a bootloader, so i rebooted and used the CD to go into rescue mode. well, GRUB is now installed, but I don't know how to configure it
[10:29] <KNY> ezekiel72, what php? php4?
[10:29] <Rprp```>   ChanServ ConnectServ Duiv`tv Eggdrop GameServ Global MemoServ NickServ OperServ Roconda Rprp` wesley
[10:29] <ompaul> scoates, you could do some running aorund the /proc space and see if you can find anything else -- ehh you got the wrong end of the stick there - it is a snapshot
[10:29] <ezekiel72> php5
[10:29] <ghadi> jrib,  plz i need a prof help, i read the instructions but i need close help if u can plz?
[10:30] <scoates> ompaul: what I don't get is how it can show a snapshot CPU %used, and not a corresponding task list
[10:30] <xxl3w> does anyone know how to configure grub, from grub's command line?
[10:30] <computerNERDie> I have a Internet keyboard from Chicony is the possible to enable the internet key such as 'launch browser'-key 'search'-key 'cut'-key 'past-key' etc.
[10:30] <KNY> ezekiel72, sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
[10:30] <jrib> ghadi: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[10:30] <ardchoille> ghadi: MPlayer plays videos as well as mp3 files. It's in the repos.
[10:30] <ghadi> i have totem installed but not opening the mp3 or videos
[10:30] <ghadi> k
[10:30] <ezekiel72> this is the tutorial i followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[10:30] <ezekiel72> KNY: i did that
[10:30] <KNY> ezekiel72, did you restart the server? sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
[10:30] <ompaul> scoates, check out how /proc is made up - it holds the one true item on how it works - the other thing is a local really light wm might be useful
[10:30] <lightseed> hi
[10:30] <ezekiel72> yep i tried but then it says something about not being able to reboot it
[10:31] <KNY> well, what's the error?
[10:31] <lightseed> is there a desktop recorder for ubuntu?
[10:31] <Zambezi> Can anyone help me with "Configure media device" in Amarok? I don't have a clue what I should do.
[10:31] <ompaul> scoates, and a really light browser for reading output
[10:31] <ompaul> lightseed, istanbul
[10:31] <ardchoille> !istanbul > lightseed
[10:31] <lightseed> ok thanks
[10:31] <ezekiel72> KNY: check pm
[10:31] <computerNERDie> to lightseed: Try CamStudio
[10:31] <dcordes> is there an instant messenger which is specialized for local area networks?
[10:32] <scoates> ompaul: I understand. I'm not concerned about legit tasks using CPU.. that's normal. I am concerned about top's two numbers that SHOULD indicate the same thing showing radically different percentages
[10:32] <KNY> dcordes, set up a Jabber server?
[10:32] <ompaul> dcordes, some people run jabber (justin et al)
[10:32] <scoates> ompaul: doesn't that seem wonky to you?
[10:32] <slipttees> hi all
[10:33] <slipttees> i have problem :(
[10:33] <esaym> thank you dcordes and ompaul.  I somehow missed that
[10:33] <dcordes> ompaul, KNY i just want to communicate between to boxes
[10:33] <dsquare> ROFLMAO
[10:33] <dsquare> i just got gedit
[10:33] <dsquare> i was wondering what "gedit" was..
[10:33] <slipttees> ubuntu breezy doesn't work the kernel-k7
[10:33] <dsquare> "WHAT A GEDIT GUYS?!?!?!"
[10:33] <KNY> dcordes, `write` :)
 guess I'll just restart Xorg
[10:34] <scoates> ompaul: thanks for looking
[10:34] <computerNERDie> to lightseed: sry CamStudio is only win32.
[10:34] <ompaul> scotes I have something hang on a sec
[10:34] <scoates> ompaul: ok
[10:34] <dcordes> KNY: eh?
[10:34] <ompaul> !enter | dsquare
[10:34] <ubotu> dsquare: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:34] <KNY> dcordes, man write
[10:34] <dsquare> !thanks | ompaul
[10:34] <ubotu> ompaul: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[10:35] <rwissner> Sorry for this (probably trivial) question, but how do you create a statically linked executable (like e.g. the downloads from the Mozilla website)
[10:35] <slipttees> somebody?
[10:35] <computerNERDie> I have a Internet keyboard from Chicony is the possible to enable the internet key such as 'launch browser'-key 'search'-key 'cut'-key 'past-key' etc.
[10:35] <computerNERDie> Or is there no driver?
[10:35] <scoates> rwissner: AFAIK, the source needs to have a make target (or similar) to build static
[10:35] <ompaul> scoates, have a look for similar http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9001
[10:35] <scoates> ompaul: looking
[10:36] <slipttees> ubuntu breezy doesn't work the kernel-k7, why?
[10:36] <jrib> computerNERDie: does it work when you try to set shortcuts in system . preferences > keyboard shortcuts to use those keys?
[10:36] <dcordes> KNY: thing is the other box is used by a complete noob. i don't know if it is too good to let her use the terminal
[10:36] <webgodfather> hi folks, I have a question.  I have BCM4318 wireless.  I am using ndis wrapper and wifi radar.  it says that I connect but it won't give me an ip number.  any ideas?
[10:36] <scoates> ompaul: I understand that load averages != CPU load
[10:36] <ompaul> slipttees, it did when I ran breezy about a year
[10:36] <KNY> dcordes, it was a joke
[10:36] <scoates> ompaul: maybe I'm being unclear. Top shows a CPU %us of >60 -- that should be a snapshot of the current CPU load, no?
[10:36] <dcordes> KNY: ah i see. is it possible to communicate with jabber without a server?
[10:37] <ompaul> scoates, na I am saying there are other articles that do it better than I will on irc used this query "percent in top differs from what I see"
[10:37] <slipttees> ompaul: i am update 5.04 for breezy about 5 day
[10:37] <scoates> ompaul: ah, ok
[10:37] <KrAsHeR> Hey guys... i'm feeling i forgot something... i installed the nvidia official driver and when i reboot the system, the gdm complains of kernel module missing... then i have to reinstall it... anyone can help me?
[10:37] <scoates> I'll try to find some clues. Thanks again, ompaul.
[10:37] <Marien> hola alguien que me ayude como conectarme via wi-fi
[10:37] <Marien> por favor

[10:37] <ompaul> scoates, maybe a I can be a bit clearer - it is close but it will never be 100% accurate
[10:38] <dyrne> KrAsHeR: try sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[10:38] <Marien> ok
[10:38] <KNY> dcordes, if you're just looking for a computer-to-computer chat client, that's not hard at all
[10:38] <KNY> just Google around; I'm sure scores have been implemented in Java (cross-platform)
[10:38] <scoates> ompaul: sure. I expect a few % difference.. but we're talking swings of 20-40% here
[10:38] <dyrne> KrAsHeR: then just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   instead of reboot
[10:38] <computerNERDie> jrib: It's impossible the use any special keys, also the windows key does nothing, even if have set so.
[10:38] <dcordes> KNY: that's what i'm looking for
[10:38] <ompaul> slipttees, your o/s is almost out of support - move to dapper
[10:38] <ReAspired> I got this kinda error. when adding mythtv
[10:38] <webgodfather> any help with the wireless issue. I can connect (apparently), but it can't get an ip number.
[10:38] <KNY> that's a pretty standard CS project
[10:38] <ReAspired> ythtv-database: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[10:38] <slipttees> ompaul: dapper?
[10:38] <KrAsHeR> i have it already installed dyrne
[10:38] <ompaul> slipttees, after breezy

[10:39] <TorF> Is there a plug-in to display this page > http://www.xineph.com/shabaka30/ ???
[10:39] <KNY> does edgy ship with v4l2 by default?
[10:39] <computerNERDie> One thing I like best about Ubuntu is the easy update support. :)
[10:40] <ompaul> scoates, how many cores has the machine got?

[10:41] <ashaffer> I just installed the openssh-server package, do I need to do anything else to be able to log into this computer?
[10:41] <KNY> ashaffer, no
[10:41] <dcordes> ashaffer: nope
[10:41] <KNY> ashaffer, just sudo apt-get install ssh
[10:41] <whileimhere> I just downloaded and tried the new ubuntu 7.04. Is there a way to upgrade my current system without a full reinstall or should I just reinstall?
[10:41] <agliv5> Greetings all :)  I'm trying to install ubuntu 6.10 AMD x64 and it's telling me that I don't have a root selected even though I do... what's up with that?
[10:41] <dcordes> on the client
[10:42] <dcordes> KNY: can't find anything
[10:42] <jrib> TorF: adobe does not provide a native linux shockwave plugin.  The only way to view that page that I know of it to install firefox in wine and use the shockwave plugin for windows...
[10:42] <dyrne> ashaffer: nope you can test by doing "ssh <IP_ADDRESS> -l username" in the terminal then exit and try your external ip. as long as your router is setup to forward port22 you should be good
[10:42] <jrib> TorF: (lobby adobe)
[10:43] <jrib> !shockwave | TorF
[10:43] <ubotu> TorF: Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[10:43] <ompaul> scoates, put this in a pastebin    top -b -n 1

[10:44] <xxl3w> when i'm trying to load the kernel in the grub command line, i have to do (hd0,0). when i try (hd0,1), it gives an error
[10:44] <G10> Hello folks! Im having an odd issue trying to use adduser.local on 6.10, it does everythign but symlinks and mkdir's and sadly thats what im trying to et it to do!
[10:45] <xxl3w> but when i do (hd0,0), it works, then when i try to boot, it gives me a kernel panic error
[10:45] <Anderson> How do I find out what architecture my processor is? i.e. i386, i686,
[10:45] <G10> whats your processor ?
[10:45] <ompaul> scoates, ehh when you have 150 processes to divide into 20% what are you thinking - all the amounts are low?
[10:45] <scoates> Anderson: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[10:45] <becki> anders_home, dmesg
[10:46] <ReAspired> how can I clear up this mythtv error. mythtv-database: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[10:46] <scoates> ompaul: yes, < 0.09% each
[10:46] <Anderson> scoates, Doesn't say...
[10:46] <ompaul> scoates, so then ...
[10:47] <scoates> Anderson: you're right.. not explicitly
[10:47] <ompaul> Anderson, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name <<<< what does that say
[10:47] <whileimhere> Is there a program to save the packages that synaptic downloads to say a CD or DVD?
[10:47] <scoates> ompaul: 20/150 = 0.13333   I'd expect at least SOME of those to show up as > 0.0
[10:47] <scoates> ompaul: perhaps I'm just being thick
[10:47] <ompaul> scoates, that most active is stopping that from happening
[10:47] <cyberjackal> i'm having a problem with aterm displaying things like ", -, etc... in things like man pages and even in my irc window.  They show up as "garbage" ascii characters.  Does anyone have an idea what I may need to change?
[10:48] <ompaul> scoates, think the law of averages remove that X and look and you will be happy
[10:48] <scoates> ompaul: heh.. ok
[10:48] <scoates> thanks

[10:48] <grayscale> up365, I did everything exactly as its mentioned on the URL you pointed me to.  I had done all those things already prior but I did them again anyway for good measure
[10:48] <grayscale> this is the error im getting

[10:49] <Anderson> hmmmm... interesting... So, if it supports i686, would it also support i386, i486, i586?
[10:49] <grayscale> when i check my packages, it says im up-to-date
[10:50] <grayscale> could anyone help me out with a video driver problem im having?
[10:50] <Klick_> any tablet gnome users in here?
[10:51] <Vigo_> grayscale: Did you do the fglrx?
[10:51] <grayscale> no
[10:51] <Jackz> I installed software updates, from the notifier, and now my Wine, and Synaptic are gone!
[10:52] <agliv5> I fixed the problem by reformating the partition with ext3 instead of reiserfs... why doesn't Ubuntu like a reiserfs root?
[10:52] <G10> here is my adduser.local.conf file and All its supose to do is create the public_html folder, which it isnt, but it processes with no errors: http://pastebin.com/884764
[10:52] <SHKY> Hi
[10:52] <dyslixec> I have been trying to get firestarter for ubuntu but have little success :\
[10:52] <cafuego_> agliv5: Nothing should like a reiserfs root.
[10:52] <evilrob> so how the hell does gcc get installed without the presence of headerfiles like stdio.h ??
[10:52] <Vigo_> grayscale: I have tghe ATI Series 200 , was a mess, I used the Forums and found the fglrx command fixed it perfect.
[10:53] <grayscale> would it work with an nvidia card the same way?
[10:53] <Vigo_> grayscale: frfom what I read, it should.
[10:53] <cafuego_> evilrob: Why would it? It's quite possibly to compile things that don't need those headers.
[10:53] <agliv5> cafuego_ I've installed on a reiserfs root before... what's wrong with that?
[10:53] <Vigo_> grayscale: let me find it for you.....
[10:53] <cafuego_> agliv5: Reiserfs is - interesting, in terms of data security.
[10:54] <grayscale> im googling it and its looking like an ATI utility
[10:54] <ompaul> aglet, it has a rep for hiding data on a really long term basis
[10:54] <ompaul> agliv5, , it has a rep for hiding data on a really long term basis
[10:55] <evilrob> anyway....  a friend of mine is looking at the kernel developer job posted on ubuntu.com.  anyone know anything about how it is working for U?  pay scales etc?

[11:03] <ciscosurfer> ReAspired: go here >. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[11:03] <ompaul> dyslixec, so close synaptic and start a terminal and run that command in there

[11:03] <Jackz> <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu8 (synaptic), and <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu8 (synaptic)
[11:03] <Jackz> Are what the Add/Remove ones say
[11:04] <ciscosurfer> Jackz: go into a terminal, and issue the following at the prompt (what output do you get?)         which synaptic
[11:04] <TorF> ubotu > it works, tyvm !
[11:04] <ompaul> chakian, so click on help and click on about firefox and then tell us that version number
[11:04] <matt|6S|ubuntu> hi all. i have apache2 and firestarter installed, unfortunately i cannot access my page from the internet although port 80 is allowed for everyone in the firestarter policy - any ideas?
[11:04] <Jackz> /usr/sbin/synaptic

[11:05] <royel> My gateway/fireway (ubuntu 6.06 server) is throttling my bandwidth to clients, I should get close to 3MB/s but it is choking me to around 1-1.2MB/s anyone have any clue why, I just done replacing all my nics with brand new nics.
[11:05] <dyslixec> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[11:05] <ciscosurfer> Jackz: so you only have one instance, and that good.  YOu can go into your menu editor and see if it's somehow been turned off otherwise, you can create a new link there....go to System > Preferences > Menu Layout
[11:05] <hdxx> Thug-N-Me: try amsn
[11:05] <dyslixec> D:
[11:05] <Jackz> Okay, so now I know where the executable, or whatever Linux calls it, is.
[11:06] <mescon> does anyone know of an SSL/TLS enabled FTP-client for Gnome?
[11:06] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: do you have a router involved as well?
[11:06] <smokiedbest> i need help please
[11:06] <smokiedbest> is there anyone out there
[11:06] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: nope
[11:06] <chakian> i get to Help > About Firefox ; there writes Ubuntu/edgy ; is that my ubuntu version
[11:06] <ciscosurfer> mescon: gFTP doesn't work?
[11:06] <mescon> ciscosurfer: it doesn't do ssl/tls afaik?
[11:06] <ompaul> chakian, yes edgy - 6.10
[11:06] <chakian> oh. thanks ompaul
[11:06] <adriaticator> The Places->Connect To Server option puts the connections on the desktop. Is there a way to put them somewhere else?
[11:06] <dyslixec> hrm if im the only user how would I set get myself into superuser privilege ? cause that command it told me to do ompal says I need superuser access to do.
[11:07] <ciscosurfer> mescon: okay, i don't use it, i was just throwing it out there...
[11:07] <Marupa> Is there a way to allow a user to access /dev/input/eventX?
[11:07] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: show me your firewall rules file, pastebin it
[11:07] <ciscosurfer> mescon: have you tried FireFTP (the extension for firefox) ?
[11:07] <royel> !pastebin | matt|6S|ubuntu
[11:07] <ubotu> matt|6S|ubuntu: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:08] <mescon> ciscosurfer: i havent
[11:08] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: where does firestarter put it? :-)
[11:08] <ompaul> dyslixec, if you had done it right and started by saying my name I might have worked out who you were talking to -- sudo dkpg---
[11:08] <ciscosurfer> mescon: you might have some luck with it...here's the link >> http://fireftp.mozdev.org/ or here https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/684/
[11:08] <cafuego_> Marupa: Yes, udev rules can do this for you.
[11:08] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: I use shorewall, but look in /etc/firestarter/*
[11:09] <cafuego_> Marupa: Unfortunately udev rules can be voodoo

[11:11] <enlightenedpsych> I've just installed Ubuntu and my slave hd doesn't appear to be detected and I don't really know what to do, I've tried to fix it but my knowledge of linux is a bit too much limited, so if anyone can help it would be appreciated
[11:12] <cafuego_> KrAsHeR: You need to use an UTF-8 locale then, so ts will work
[11:12] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6641/ --- just created with firestarter --generate-scripts

[11:13] <Thug-N-Me> hdxx yeah install it now
[11:13] <kane77> hi
[11:13] <ciscosurfer> Thug-N-Me: try gaim
[11:13] <Vigo__> enlightenedpshych: Did you set the BIOS or the boot.ini to detect ?
[11:14] <kane77> i'm considering installing gentoo, but I have a question. does anybody have experience with ralink ra2500 wifi card? my internet depends on it, and so far it didnt work anywhere...
[11:14] <Thug-N-Me> ciscosurfer gaim is what im using ... and it doesnt allow me to view webcam
[11:14] <ciscosurfer> Thug-N-Me: ok
[11:14] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: i just recognize that i have enabled subversion, too (port 3690), but this doesn't appear anywhere in the script... weird
[11:15] <morrolan> kane77 - I'm using a ralink ra2500 driver on my Belkin 54g, and it's working great, not had an issue
[11:15] <kane77> morrolan, oops.. I thought I was talking to gentoo channel :D
[11:15] <Vilhelms> I'm removed the xubuntu desktop package but whenever I use the Xgl session it loads gnome, with the xfce theme and all my keyboard shortucts don't work. If I start xfce-setting-show the theme goes back to the normal gnome theme but my keyboard shortcuts still don't work. This is my startxgl script http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6642/plain/
[11:15] <kane77> morrolan, mine works fine in ubuntu...
[11:16] <morrolan> kane77 - no problem - it does work on Ubuntu.  Ahhh, get your problem now, gentoo related
[11:16] <agliv5> Ok now I'm really confused... sever different people recommended me to use reiserfs... I wanted to use jfs or xfs because I read saw some benchmarks that suggested to me that were the fastest but apparently not good acording to a link that a friend sent me, that I can no longer find.... can anyone offer some insite into which is best or know of a good source of reading?
[11:16] <scoates> ompaul: fwiw, restarting X didn't help.. rebooting fixed it (for now), though
[11:16] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: this is not my specialty an its nothing like shorewall config files.. (exactly why I use shorewall) I'm lazy :)
[11:16] <kane77> morrolan, I'm just trying gentoo because my friend is saying a lot of good things about it...
[11:16] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to set the right model of keyboard in terminal sessions (alt+f[1-6] )?
[11:16] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: uhm.. are you able to connect via ssh remotely? I see port 22 open
[11:16] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: i tried shorewall but i found it much harder to setup
[11:17] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: yes i am
[11:17] <ompaul> scoates, your missing the point - on a ratio basis X did some silly things on you and skewed your %s so it looks sorted there is nothing right but your playing averages
[11:17] <morrolan> kane77 - yeah, if you can be patient enough to wait for 4 hours for your new app to compile before you can use it :op
[11:17] <scoates> ompaul: I understand what you're saying. I've managed to make X stop using 15% cpu, now, though -- that's what I meant
[11:17] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: I wonder if it's not something in your apache then, like I said, I'm no expert on this type config, but it appears to be open
[11:17] <cntb> why audio/x-wav is so problematic on firefox ?
[11:17] <scoates> it's using more like 6% now
[11:17] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: feel ok giving me a link to the page your trying to open?
[11:17] <ompaul> scoates, so X leaks
[11:18] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: your server
[11:18] <scoates> ompaul: leaks cpu? (-:
[11:18] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to set the right model of keyboard in terminal sessions (alt+f[1-6] )?
[11:18] <Vilhelms> I'm removed the xubuntu desktop package but whenever I use the Xgl session it loads gnome, with the xfce theme and all my keyboard shortucts don't work. If I start xfce-setting-show the theme goes back to the normal gnome theme but my keyboard shortcuts still don't work. This is my startxgl script http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6642/plain/
[11:18] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: well, apache works when i use my local network ip, but not when i try my isp ip, so i assume this is a firewall thing
[11:18] <kane77> morrolan, yeah, well thats a drawback, but I'm determined to try it (although only on vmware...) it's a bit of a challenge... and i like challenges...
[11:19] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: i'll dig into this tomorrow, thanks so far
[11:19] <ompaul> scoates, it is causing the cpu to work more and more - watch it fill your ram and then cause that ram to cost clock cycles as it gets refreshed and puts stuff (consumed resources) between you and your CPU
[11:19] <matt|6S|ubuntu> bye for now
[11:19] <Matteo_M> hi
[11:19] <scoates> ompaul: RAM was never full -- 2gigs (never swaps, anyway)
[11:20] <scoates> I mean, there's some over head to paging, but that's normal
[11:20] <Matteo_M> one question, can I install ubuntu 6.10 ppc on a firewire partition?
[11:20] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to set the right model of keyboard in terminal sessions (alt+f[1-6] )?
[11:20] <robline_> anyone use Xara Xtreme?
[11:20] <ciscosurfer> KrAsHeR: what happens when you issue: gnome-keyboard-properties
[11:21] <agliv5> Ok, I have heard many different oppinions about which filesystem is best and am very confused by the apparently contratradictory information... any one know of a good reliable source?
[11:21] <ubuntu23> is ther a list of commands someone can tell me about
[11:22] <calvarez> agliv5, it doesn't matter, either reiser or ext3 will be just fine
[11:22] <KrAsHeR> in gnome the keyboard is right... but when i change to a terminal session (<ctrl><alt>+F[1-7] ), i can't use properly the / and  of my keyboard (Brazil ABNT 2)
[11:22] <royel> My gateway/fireway (ubuntu 6.06 server) is throttling my bandwidth to clients, I should get close to 3MB/s but it is choking me to around 1-1.2MB/s anyone have any clue why, I just done replacing all my nics with brand new nics.
[11:22] <ciscosurfer> KrAsHeR: hmm
[11:22] <yomm> is X forwarding disabled by default ,and if so ,how do I enable it ?
[11:22] <Kotter> can anyone help? i cant seem to get my intel prowireless 2200BG running under kubuntu, using ndiswrapper
[11:22] <xelados> I can't seem to get the wine configure script to detect my openGL libraries, when I'm positive they're in /usr/lib32
[11:22] <xelados> Any ideas on how to fix it?
[11:23] <xelados> I've already asked #winehq for help and they haven't been able to help me
[11:23] <xelados> I'm using Ubuntu dapper 64-bit
[11:23] <faLUCE> hi, I have installed the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel with RTAI patch. after rebooting i can't start X server... any tips? thnks
[11:23] <ubuntu23> Kotter join #kubuntu
[11:23] <Kotter> thx
[11:23] <patrialt> im using Azureus (torrent program) to download something, and i have the tcp/udp port 63343 forwarded to allow full access to Azureus, yet it says it's still having UDP problems
[11:23] <yomm> xelados : i'm pretty sure its a 64bit issue , do you ha ve a 32 bit system around to test ?
[11:23] <xelados> Nah.
[11:24] <patrialt> furthermore, in my firewall log, mass amounts of connection attempts are being blocked from port 31611 (UDP)
[11:24] <yomm> xelados : lots of lib porblems with 64bit
[11:24] <xelados> I have two copies of my openGL libraries, though (libGL.so and libGLU.so, right?)
[11:24] <enlightenedpsych> I've just installed Ubuntu and it doesnt seem to detect my slave hd (it's detected in the BIOS and was there when I had windows) and I don't really know what to do, I've search for some tutorial but didn't found something really useful so if anyone can help it would be very appreciated
[11:24] <xelados> one copy is in /usr/lib, the other in /usr/lib32
[11:24] <patrialt> is there any chance, that like...the udp access port is supposed to be equal to approx half of the tcp port?
[11:24] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: do you have the proper permissions set for azureus directories and for azureus itself?
[11:24] <Talaman> hello
[11:25] <patrialt> im not sure what your saying cisco, how will i check my permissions for it?
[11:25] <ubuntu23> how can i nget my azereus to download fast
[11:25] <Talaman> how do i get my login to go past the shell login without having to login
[11:25] <scoates> ubuntu23: open up the proper ports on your router (nothing to do with Ubuntu)
[11:25] <Talaman> that being skipping the command line login
[11:25] <dyrne> Talaman: go straight to gdm?
[11:25] <un0p> patrialt,  what are you talking about?
[11:25] <ubuntu23> scoates i am using port forwarding i still download crazy cslow
[11:25] <Talaman> yes
[11:26] <sean__> test
[11:26] <Talaman> or startx or whatever it is
[11:26] <sean__> hey guys
[11:26] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: first go into a terminal and issue the following command (b/c I don't have it installed anymore and don't recall where it is)    which azureus
[11:26] <sean__> any apple users running ubuntu in here?
[11:26] <Talaman> i must have changed something and now i have to login to the command line and then do a sudo gdm
[11:26] <ubuntu23> how can i find out my gateway on ubuntu
[11:26] <sean__> or ppc in general
[11:26] <un0p> ubuntu23,  well, if you download from a source that's not very fast, you aren't going to get any more speed than he can offer :)
[11:26] <scoates> ubuntu23: could be your ISP throttling it
[11:27] <scoates> could be dozens of things
[11:27] <ubuntu23> dam them providers
[11:27] <sean__> can i ask a tech question guys?
[11:27] <agliv5> calvarez I wanted to use reiser as my root partition and ubuntu didn't except it and several users here said that reisersfs has a tendency to apparently loose or hide files...
[11:27] <ubuntu23> i get 13 - 20 seeders
[11:27] <patrialt> un0p primarily what im trying to figure out, is what might be attempting to access my computer via port 31611
[11:27] <sean__> I need help setting up my ibook. I want my command (apple) key to work like the ctrl key
[11:27] <ubuntu23> Ask any question
[11:27] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: try issuing the following in a terminal and then run Azureus again to see if this fixes it:    sudo chown -R root:root /opt/azureus/
[11:28] <Aggrav8d> hello, all.
[11:28] <calvarez> agliv5, i'd advise you just stick to whatever the default of your distro is
[11:28] <calvarez> agliv5, just saves trouble
[11:28] <bauer77> Do I have to use the Live CD to use qparted? Is there any way to add a partition without doing it this way
[11:28] <Talaman> any ideas dyrne
[11:28] <Oz_Diver_68> Hello All...  I'm just about at my wits end here....   Trying to get autologin on LTSP under Ubuntu!
[11:28] <agliv5> ok, I found the link that I was looking for ;) according to http://linuxgazette.net/122/piszcz.html xfs & jfs are best... anyone dissagree or have an opinion why I should not use jfs on root and home?
[11:28] <Oz_Diver_68>  Anyone had any success in this regard? :-(
[11:29] <agliv5> calvarez how do I know what the default is?
[11:29] <calvarez> agliv5, yes, the default ext3 has been tested by<PHONE_NUMBER>8798 people
[11:29] <ciscosurfer> bauer77: you can either unmount the disc or partition you want to modify (or if that's not an option) you can use the LIveCD or the GParted LiveCd (which I like much better)
[11:29] <Aggrav8d> I have an old mandriva box that has a lot of backup data on it.  I'd like to replace mandriva with ubuntu but I don't want to lose any of the data.  I'm trying to find the best way to copy data off the box.  suggestions?
[11:29] <calvarez> agliv5, it's ext3
[11:29] <calvarez> in ubuntu it's ext3
[11:29] <dyrne> Talaman: you have gdm installed?
[11:29] <un0p> patrialt,  well, it doesnt look like a known port, it could be random traffic or a person mistaken your IP address/hostname for something/someone else
[11:29] <dyrne> Talaman: or using startx or xinit?
[11:29] <patrialt> ciscosurfer would these sounds weird to you, it appears that even tho i assigned port 63343 to azureus for tcp/udp connections, it's using 63343 for tcp only, and using a random other port for
[11:29] <patrialt> UDP
[11:29] <ciscosurfer> bauer77: go here for the GParted live cd >> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[11:29] <Aggrav8d> I've tried to ssh and ftp to the box and, though I can connect, it seems to be running terribly slow.
[11:29] <Quintin_> Aggrav8d: I suggest you use 5.25" floppies.
[11:29] <calvarez> Aggrav8d, just use scp and be patient
[11:30] <agliv5> calvarez if ext3 is the default then only because it has been tested so much, the others might be more experimental, but definately faster... better?
[11:30] <bauer77> thanks, so there is no built in disk management then correct?
[11:30] <calvarez> Aggrav8d, or if you can get a hold of a external USB hard drive, even better
[11:30] <patrialt> un0p my only guess is that it's being accessed via a program im using, becuase i've received a couple hundred requests for that port, all by diff outside IPs
[11:30] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: that sounds okay..you may be able to assign static port numbers from within Azureus though...or forward the ports you want open via your firewall/router for udp
[11:30] <Aggrav8d> calvarez - excellent idea! i have just such a drive and it was out of sight, out of mind.
[11:30] <calvarez> agliv5, they might be, I haven't tried them. But again, do you prefer to have something "faster, better" that hasn't been tested enough?
[11:30] <derFlo> does anybody know a good newsreader with gtk frontend
[11:31] <derFlo> it should support nzbs
[11:31] <patrialt> yea, now that i've unblocked this random other port number, the UDP problem seems to have resolved
[11:31] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: good to hear
[11:31] <calvarez> agliv5, just a thought, I've used systems with ext3 that were pretty harddrive intensive and they worked very fast
[11:31] <dyrne> derFlo: well most people i know who want something with a decent gui use pan
[11:31] <patrialt> ciscosurfer it appears that the default firewall that comes with ubuntu was blocking ports
[11:31] <calvarez> agliv5, if you were running a high traffic server, then you probably should be concerning with such things
[11:31] <dyrne> derFlo: before torrent i used it alot for tv shows
[11:31] <un0p> patrialt,  well, the only sure way to find out is to monitor traffic and/or listening ports on your machine
[11:32] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: you had to open the ports through iptables??
[11:32] <Talaman> dyrne i have gdm installed
[11:32] <derFlo> dyrne: but Pan does NOT support nzbs :(
[11:32] <Talaman> and a few others i think
[11:32] <calvarez> agliv5, if not, if it's just a personal desktop, then just go ext3, you will notice no difference :)
[11:32] <dyrne> Talaman: id imagine you could sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm    or just add the symlinks manually
[11:32] <sean__> can someone help me set up my keyboard so that the apple (command) key works like a ctrl key?
[11:32] <sean__> its a pcc ibook g4
[11:32] <soho> hello, what is the meaning of this error message:
[11:32] <patrialt> ciscosurfer, but now that i've downloaded Firestarter and told it to unblock the UDP port that was receiving mass connect requests, im getting much better azureus transfer rates
[11:33] <soho> (gedit:23150): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[11:33] <soho> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[11:33] <soho> can somebody tell me
[11:33] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: sounds good
[11:33] <patrialt> i dont think i could teach myself to use iptables
[11:33] <patrialt> without burning my house down
[11:33] <un0p> patrialt,  sounds to me you've just opened a port and not really understood why
[11:33] <soho> i cannot start gedit with sudo anymore, but i don't know why
[11:33] <patrialt> yup pretty much un0p
[11:33] <derFlo> does anybody know a good newsreader with gtk frontend, it should support nzb-files..
[11:33] <cyphase> Why doesn't Gaim in Feisty have Bonjour support?
[11:34] <patrialt> but that's what you get when you stick a windows xp user into the linux OS world
[11:34] <arrenlex> cyphase: It's not french.
[11:34] <Talaman> dyrne ok, i am going to restart now
[11:34] <kompressor> is there a marcromedia flash mx solution in ubuntu ( i dont mean the driver but the program)
[11:34] <patrialt> a confused user just fidgiting til he can get things working, but dont get me wrong, im trying to understand and learn what im doing :P
[11:34] <arrenlex> kompressor: Flash MX runs great under wine.
[11:34] <cyphase> arrenlex: haha :) you know what i mean
[11:35] <kompressor> arrenlex but there is no free downloadable solution in the library?
[11:35] <un0p> patrialt,  well, opening ports and understanding networking is independant of the OS really -- if windows firewall was complaining about random port hits, i would want to find out why that was happening before making an exception
[11:35] <arrenlex> kompressor: To create flash the way you do in Flash MX? No.
[11:35] <dyrne> soho: use gksudo. but id do something like sudo -s then cd then ls -a | xargs -i chown username {}  or probably just sudo chown -R username ~ would work
[11:36] <kompressor> to bad:P
[11:36] <Klick_> Hey all, can anyone help me figure out why whenever i manuly type in rotate from the terminal it works, but when i create a custom gconf entry for the command rotate it doesnt work?
[11:36] <Klick_> http://pastebin.com/884800
[11:36] <dyrne> soho: sometimes sudo can mess ownership up when used on gui apps
[11:36] <patrialt> un0p well here's what i was thinking when i allowed them, i figured "oh okay, i'll unblock these for about 5 minutes, if the problem on azurus doesn't resolve, then i'll know that my security is at risk"
[11:36] <lisapc> where can I download ubuntu torrent pls?
[11:36] <patrialt> the azureus problem seems to be gone, so i dont feel too worried that im exposed
[11:37] <lisapc> patrialt what port u using?
[11:37] <un0p> patrialt,  errm .. no, if a burglar tries picking on your lock and you notice the pick marks, you dont just unlock your door, do you?
[11:37] <dyrne> lisapc: ubuntu.com is quicker to download from
[11:37] <patrialt> lol sure i do un0p, if i have a baseball bat :P
[11:37] <royel> un0p: lol, nice analogy
[11:37] <soho> dyrne; thanks, gksudo also return with the same error-message. i take a look at launchpad and it is reported as a bug.
[11:37] <patrialt> lisapc im using 63343 for tcp and 31611 for udp
[11:37] <patrialt> dunno why tho
[11:37] <patrialt> azureus should use same tcp/udp
[11:37] <dyrne> soho: a bug?! in ubuntu?
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> hey pressing ctrl-alt-backspace provides an extremely noticable speed boost for those of you willing to try it..
[11:38] <patrialt> un0p it also seemed very unlikely
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> </stupidity check>
[11:38] <lisapc> patrialt why u using 63343 for tcp and 31611 for udp?
[11:38] <soho> dyrne; i also couldn't belive it
[11:38] <Quintin> lisapc: ubuntu.com
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> don't do this unless you wish to kill your x session
[11:38] <arrenlex> !kidding | yourmomsbox
[11:38] <ubotu> yourmomsbox: You may think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users or irritate people who actually start answering your question :)
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> thank you arrenlex
[11:38] <arrenlex> yw
[11:38] <dyrne> yourmomsbox: xgamma -rgamma 3   is helpful also
[11:38] <patrialt> lisapc well i chose 63343 randomly a couple months back on my old pc, so i figured i'd use it again, since my router has already been configured to forward that port for tcp/udp
[11:39] <patrialt> and azureus seems to have chosen port 31611 for UDP all by itself :P
[11:39] <yourmomsbox> dyrne: fun fun
[11:40] <lisapc> patrialt is it good idea to use the default ports?
[11:40] <yourmomsbox> nah 3 isn't potent enough
[11:40] <un0p> lisapc,  almost always yes
[11:40] <patrialt> umm, im not sure it really matters, i just choose port #'s that i can remember :P
[11:40] <patrialt> and ones that i dont use for any other programs ofcourse
[11:41] <patrialt> un0p a while back when i was reading up on azureus i believe i read something about, the default ports set on azureus should be changed, because your local ISP may have umm tampered with them
[11:41] <patrialt> to make them less useable as far as P2P connections go
[11:41] <leoni> when i try to iniciate x i get this message: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.   can someone help me?
[11:41] <patrialt> i cant remember the technical terms they used :P
[11:42] <Boosted> Hey, question.  What is the best browser to use to get java to work right?  I can't get any of them to work . .
[11:42] <qeed> firefox works well with java
[11:42] <royel> My gateway/fireway (ubuntu 6.06 server) is throttling my bandwidth to clients, I should get close to 3MB/s down but it is choking me to around 1-1.2MB/s, I have tested extensively, an it is a problem within the server, an I replaced all the nics just earlier today. Any clues?
[11:43] <un0p> patrialt,  well ok, maybe this works on azureus or whatever, but normally clients connect to a default hardcoded port and if you change that, you break things (could explain your slowdowns) .. in othercases, their firewalls detect traffic going to anomalous ports and block traffic (also explaining your slowdown)
[11:43] <Boosted> qeed; it doesn't work on the website that I need it to lol
[11:43] <cafuego_> royel: Running a 10Mbit hub?
[11:43] <qeed> Boosted, what's the error?
[11:44] <TwoPints> can linux run bsd binaries?
[11:44] <royel> cafuego_: 100M switch
[11:44] <un0p> TwoPints,  no, not as far as i know .. but the reverse is certainly true
[11:44] <erUSUL> TwoPints: no, afaik
[11:44] <TwoPints> cheers
[11:44] <cafuego_> royel: What does mii-tool say?
[11:44] <leoni> when i try to iniciate x i get this message: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.   can someone help me?
[11:45] <royel> cafuego_: eth2: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
[11:45] <royel> eth3: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
[11:45] <Gin> hi
[11:45] <royel> eep, sorry about that
[11:45] <patrialt> un0p i am running at normal speeds now that i've unblocked the UDP access port
[11:45] <Boosted> qeed, says java isn't enabled, but I have every package that is in the ubuntu repository installed, and if I go to the properties in firefox it says it is enabled...
[11:45] <Gin> I can't find the ubuntu server iso
[11:45] <patrialt> i have low low low end dsl
[11:45] <patrialt> so i max out at about 80kbps
[11:46] <un0p> patrialt,  unblocking your ports there hasn't definitively increased the speeds (you just arent sure)
[11:46] <patrialt> un0p, ...and how are you sure?
[11:46] <cafuego_> royel: And at the other end of that link?
[11:46] <un0p> patrialt,  i dont have to be, it's not my security status under scrutiny :)
[11:46] <royel> cafuego_: other end?
[11:47] <cafuego_> royel: the server is one side. What about the other side?
[11:47] <patrialt> lol, well before unblocking the UDP ports i was getting about 20kbps dl speeds, and now it's more than doubled
[11:47] <un0p> patrialt,  but if i were you, i'd be a 100% sure
[11:47] <royel> cafuego_: oh, clients?
[11:47] <patrialt> well im not sure how to be 100% sure :P and i dont understand what you meant earlier about tracking or monitoring the traffic inflow before unblocking >.<
[11:48] <qeed> Boosted, did you symlink the java plugin to your firefox plugin dir?
[11:48] <Boosted> qeed, no it didn't I just used the add/remove.  Got a link to how to do it?
[11:49] <un0p> patrialt,  well, if something is trying to connect to a port on your machine, there has to be a server/service listening on that port .. now, using a netstat at the command line, it is possible to determine if your machine is listening on that port and what process has that port open
[11:49] <patrialt> so like...type netstat in the terminal/
[11:49] <patrialt> ahh, ty
[11:50] <un0p> patrialt,  i believe - netstat -ano | grep -i "port_number"
[11:50] <hyperactivecrond> doesn't lsof serve the purpose netstat does, too?
[11:50] <un0p> patrialt,  or better, for tcp - netstat -ano -p tcp | grep -i "port_number"
[11:50] <qeed> Boosted, make a symlink in your ~/.mozilla/plugins dir pointing to /usr/lib/jre<versionhere>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[11:51] <un0p> hyperactivecrond,  lsof shows you open files and the processes which have those file open -- so it's not related to netstat directly
[11:51] <hyperactivecrond> un0p, i read somewhere lsof has an option to show open network connections
[11:51] <Boosted> qeed, keep in mind that I work on routers for a living, and I hate vista so I moved to ubuntu lol how do I do the link?  is that the ln thing? lol
[11:51] <Boosted> I'm a noob
[11:51] <Vilhelms> How do you change gtk themes?
[11:52] <Vilhelms> Boosted, Same here ;)
[11:52] <Boosted> Right on
[11:52] <qeed> Boosted, yeah ln -s

[11:52] <johnficca> dose anyone know how to fix the lines in totem when playing a dvd
[11:52] <johnficca> ?
[11:52] <Vilhelms> cafuego, Its not working :(
[11:52] <Vilhelms> cafuego_, its not working :(
[11:52] <cafuego_> give it a pay rise.
[11:52] <un0p> hyperactivecrond,  you're right, the manpage does verify that
[11:53] <Vilhelms> cafuego_, a pay raise o.O?
[11:53] <leoni> i am tring to run xterm, every time i try to start up x i get an error telling me x does not recgnize any devices, can someone give me a pointer?
[11:53] <Boosted> qeed, so it would be ln -s ~/.mozilla/plugins  /usr/lib/jre<versionhere>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[11:53] <samalex> Interesting issue with Evolution.  When I drag a message to any folder, it automatically goes to Trash... no matter what folder.
[11:53] <cafuego_> Vilhelms: maybe it will work if you give it mor money
[11:53] <qeed> Boosted, ln -s  /usr/lib/jre<versionhere>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[11:53] <qeed> the link you want to make goes first
[11:54] <patrialt> un0p i did those commands, but i dont really understand the feedback it's giving me
[11:54] <Boosted> qeed, k, gonna try, do I need to restart anything to apply it?
[11:54] <BreakDecks> I installed OSS-linux and now no sound drivers work at all
[11:54] <cafuego_> Vilhelms: That response means: unless you explain what it's not doing, there's not much we cna do to help.
[11:54] <qeed> Boosted, just restart firefox
[11:54] <Demolitio> i have a big problem... i tried to install xgl, came up with an error saying that the files were no found, and crashed xserver. i removed the entries i made in gdm.conf_custom and Xsession, and now i can't log in to my default profile. im talking to you guys through the root account, and have less administration options than i did with the account that is crashing. suggestions? am i screwed?
[11:54] <hyperactivecrond> BreakDecks, why OSS-linux in the first place?
[11:54] <un0p> patrialt,  ok, before filtering out with grep, its better to run the netstat command on its own to view the headings associated with each column, it should then make it clearer for you -- netstat -ano -p tcp
[11:54] <Boosted> qeed, k, trying it now
[11:55] <johnficca> dose anyone know how to fix the lines in totem when playing a dvd?
[11:55] <BreakDecks> I am trying to run StepMania, and it wouldn't run with ALSA
[11:55] <whileimhere> !DVD
[11:55] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages

[11:56] <ubuntu23> how can i get my gateway address
[11:56] <Vilhelms> cafuego_, well i think my problem has to do with xfce... i installed xubuntu-desktop with apt, and today uninstalled it. but whenever i run xgl with gnome it loads the last xfce theme i had, and i can't change it. also, my keyboard shortcuts don't work. if i run gnome on its own everything works fine =\

[11:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gateway - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:56] <patrialt> un0p how does seeing all that stuff pop up NOT overwhelm you? lol
[11:56] <cafuego_> Vilhelms: Yes, I'm not at all sure xfce sues those settings. If it should though, make sure gconfd and cnome-control-center are running.
[11:56] <royel> cafuego_: sorry I had to deal with a crying kid, by other side did you mean a client? if so this is the output: eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
[11:57] <Demolitio> i have a big problem... i tried to install xgl, came up with an error saying that the files were no found, and crashed xserver. i removed the entries i made in gdm.conf_custom and Xsession, and now i can't log in to my default profile. im talking to you guys through the root account, and have less administration options than i did with the account that is crashing. suggestions? am i screwed?
[11:57] <Boosted> qeed, there is not a ~/.mozilla dir, where would it be?
[11:57] <un0p> patrialt,  well, you learn to be a little diligent and home in on only the information that you need "hence why i used grep" .. but you have to know what you are filtering with grep before doing so
[11:57] <dyslixec> okkk
[11:58] <qeed> Boosted, .firefox probably
[11:58] <dyslixec> Im trying to get firestarter installed onto ubuntu, however Im not sure how to setup the Repositories
[11:58] <patrialt> !grep
[11:58] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[11:58] <oreth> macd: you around?
[11:58] <macd> oreth, you lucky dog I sure am.

[11:59] <ubotu> dyslixec: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource

[12:00] <gus321Blastoff> Folks, can anyone recommend hardware that runs edgey right out of box, preferably from a major computer mfg
[12:00] <gus321Blastoff> This is for desktop
