[15:44] <th0r> richardcavell: that, and I want to know if something starts transmitting without my permission. I also keep an eye on system resources in case something goes bezerk and ties up the cpu or memory
[15:45] <Boohbah> mazda01_: all sorts of stuff
[15:45] <richardcavell> Well, I guess I'm going to stick with Firestarter for now
[15:45] <mazda01_> Boohbah: does it have any iptables rules by deault?
[15:45] <pagoda> i have a dell inspiron e1705 and i just upgraded to jaunty. i read that i don't have to use ndiswrapper anymore, but my wireless card doesn't work. i think to install ndiswrapper i need an internet connection...what should i do?
[15:46] <mazda01_> can we inform anyone here on the channel about aaronvarghese_ and his ip?
[15:46] <mazda01_> he's back!
[15:46] <coz_> richardcavell,  that fwbuilder looks pretty cool
[15:46] <coz_> richardcavell,  look at the screenshots  here   http://www.fwbuilder.org/screenshots.html
[15:46] <Boohbah> mazda01_: i actually haven't done a default install of real redhat in years
[15:47] <mazda01_> no one help aaronvarghese he's a hacker looking to get into your computer
[15:47] <mazda01_> Boohbah: oh, ok.
[15:48] <richardcavell> coz_: That looks complicated.
[15:48] <th0r> coz_: fwbuilder is nice, but some of us don't even need that complexity. For me a firewall is as simple as block all incoming requests, permit all outgoing traffic, and btw....open this port.
[15:48] <mazda01_> does anyone know how I can get all my email that the systems sends me forwarded to another email address? is there a guide for this?
[15:48] <LinuxGold> firewall builder looks awesome!
[15:48] <coz_> richardcavell,  yes at first it will be but there are guides for this on that site and of course through google
[15:48] <pagoda> mazda01_: .forward
[15:49] <roma_> hello. I've dought EeePC1000 and I can't read DJVU files.What do you advise to me? For I don't know what version QT I have
[15:50] <vvvv> Hi, i am looking for a tool that wil download a package+is dependencies to a directory.
[15:50] <Mob[st]er> hello !Newbie question: ... I have firefox 3.5 on ubuntu 8.04 but after firefox crashed this morning, when I re-started it, all the icons were gone and all my bookmarks .... in other words: Firefox is majorly messed up and I would like to reinstall it ... how can I do that ?
[15:50] <coz_> roma_,   can you link me to a DJVU file   see if I can read it here
[15:50] <LinuxGold> vvv: apt-get?
[15:50] <Mob[st]er> I have downloaded firefox-3.5.1.tar.bz2 but I don't know how to use it ...
[15:51] <vvvv> Can it do that?
[15:51] <jungle> one simple question:what  this command: "sudo iptables -L -n -v" does?
[15:51] <vvvv> i don't want to install the package
[15:51] <LinuxGold> vvvv: man apt-get
[15:51] <LinuxGold> :)
[15:51] <edbian> Mob[st]er: You can just get firefox 3.5 from the repos! :)
[15:51] <edbian> !ff3.5
[15:51] <jrib> roma_: evince should be able to open djvu files
[15:51] <coz_> Mob[st]er,   try   firefox-3.5
[15:51] <edbian> Mob[st]er: If you'd like though I can teach you how to install software from the source package.
[15:52] <th0r> jungle: man iptables will explain the options
[15:52] <coz_> Mob[st]er,  sorry thought you already installed it
[15:52] <mazda01_> do I put the .forward file in my home directory?
[15:52] <Mob[st]er> coz_, : no prob ;)
[15:52] <roma_> coz_, That is book about Set theory (Hausdorf had witten it). jrib , I haven't evince
[15:52] <Mob[st]er> edbian, well... is it userfriendly / quick ?
[15:52] <jungle> th0r thanks
[15:52] <jrib> roma_: evince is in the default ubuntu install.  What ubuntu are you using?
[15:53] <coz_> Mob[st]er,  do you have link to the download?
[15:53] <Mob[st]er> I can easily find it
[15:53] <coz_> ok
[15:53] <edbian> Mob[st]er: Installing from source is less user friendly and slower than using the repos
[15:54] <tinker> How can I see an manipulate the files on my MP3 player?
[15:54] <coz_> Mob[st]er,  that is true ^^   if you are going to download a firefox  try the Minefield version 3.6
[15:54] <coz_> Mob[st]er,   none or very few of the addons are going to work with that
[15:54] <roma_> jrib, I know it. And I read with evince many time. On my EeePC is installed Xandros OS. I think I will replace that by ubuntu.
[15:55] <legend2440> vvvv: sudo apt-get -d <packagename>    Download only; package files are only retrieved, not unpacked or  installed.
[15:55] <nannes> tinker: what does "manipulate" mean??
[15:55] <tinker> add and remove files
[15:55] <tinker> or just see them at this point
[15:55] <roma_> jrib, How can I get version of QT?
[15:55] <nannes> tinker: do you wanna delete, add files?
[15:55] <nannes> oh ok
[15:55] <Mob[st]er> then, how can I just reinstall the current version I have ?
[15:55] <tinker> nannes: yes
[15:55] <stercor> What is the real command name for {gdmconf | gdmconfig}?
[15:55] <kane77> how do I find out why have packages been kept back when running safe-upgrade?
[15:56] <nannes> tinker: you just have to connect it to the pc via USB
[15:56] <vvvv> legend2440: but that way it will not retrieve packages that are installed on the system i am running this command
[15:56] <nannes> the device should be mounted in auto
[15:56] <tinker> nannes:  I have and the file manger will not display the files
[15:56] <vvvv> i want to use it to create a custom repo for a non internet connected pc
[15:56] <tinker> it just gives me a button to open rythom box
[15:57] <jrib> roma_: ask the xandros channel
[15:57] <tinker> nannes:  the file manager used to display the files before I upgraded
[15:57] <LinuxGold> Mob[st]er: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-rc-1-ubuntu-repository-deb.html
[15:58] <t3ch> hello.. what protection is that ? http://pastebin.com/d6ac89e64
[15:58] <nannes> tinker: ok, isn't Rithmbox ok to manage files?
[15:58] <bazhang> nannes, which mp3player
[15:59] <tinker> nannes:  no it isn't.   I can't find anyway with rythmbox to see the files let along get them on or off my mp3 player
[15:59] <tinker> bazhang:  its a sansa player
[15:59] <thepeon> Need help with ssh access
[15:59] <Mob[st]er> seems to work ... awsome ... thanks LinuxGold
[15:59] <bazhang> tinker, make and model? have you tried others, such as banshee; I have had luck with that and mp3 players
[16:00] <nannes> bazhang: I haven't any problem! It's tinker!
[16:00] <bazhang> nannes, my mistake, apologies
[16:00] <nannes> :D
[16:00] <jrib> tinker: change the settingss on your sansa so that it acts as MSC
[16:00] <tinker> bazhang:  Sandisk sansa m260:  the file manager showed the files before I upgraded to the latest
[16:00] <LinuxGold> Mob[st]er: no problem!  You will be billed.
[16:00] <tinker> jrib: how do I do that?
[16:01] <LinuxGold> :P
[16:01] <LinuxGold> :)
[16:01] <jrib> tinker: should be pretty obvious, mine says "USB mode" in the settings menu
[16:01] <nannes> tinker: so you have upgraded to the lastest version of firmware??
[16:01] <LinuxGold> Google Chrome 3 Beta is out...
[16:01] <LinuxGold> hmm...
[16:01] <JEEBcz> grah, anyone else here with a first-gen ATi Radeon that doesn't get nice performance and seems to have been killed from the latest closed drivers?
[16:01] <tinker> no upgraded to the latest ubuntu which fucked everything up
[16:01] <nannes> aaaa
[16:01] <jrib> !language | tinker
[16:01] <johnnyraidhelp> Hey all, agreed - just upgraded and lost my raid
[16:02] <johnnyraidhelp> I'm having a freakout session of epic proportions
[16:02] <th0r> an ip that isn't in the arin database, must be nsa
[16:02] <LinuxGold> tinker: I think you should install Slackware, learn everything about linux, then return back to ubuntu.
[16:02] <nannes> jrib: are you an op?
[16:02] <jrib> nannes: why?
[16:02] <nannes> boh! so so!
[16:02] <nannes> no reasons
[16:03] <pieroska> qualch eitaliano?
[16:03] <jrib> !it | pieroska
[16:04] <ubuntu> hola
[16:04] <johnnyraidhelp> Can anyone point me in the right direction to get access to my raid again?
[16:04] <tinker> jrib:  my sansa is currently connected to the back of my computer in a hard to reach place.  It reads connected in USB mode -- is that what I need to change?   What is msc mode?  Can I adjust the file manager so it just reads it like a USB as before?
[16:04] <ubuntu> hi motherfuckers
[16:04] <JEEBcz> argh, seems like no-one cares about old ATi cards working correctly and having opengl q_q
[16:04] <jrib> tinker: it's a setting on your sansa
[16:04] <tinker> jrib:  what does MSC mean?
[16:05] <jrib> tinker: mass storage class or something
[16:05] <tinker> jrib:  I can't get a menu while it is mounted, let me unmount and see if I can find a settings menu
[16:06] <gangil> what's the name of the process for the webcam in the output of ps -el?
[16:07] <LinuxGold> brb
[16:07] <HentaiCrazy> anyone know how to change windows on irssi
[16:07] <Floops[w]> alt+1
[16:07] <johnnyraidhelp> Nada on software raid?
[16:07] <thepeon> Any one able to help with an SSH problem??
[16:07] <jrib> HentaiCrazy: alt-WINDOW_NUMBER  or /window WINDOW_NUMBER
[16:07] <Floops[w]> or window number
[16:07] <HentaiCrazy> err thanks!
[16:07] <jrib> !anyone | thepeon
[16:07] <Floops[w]> np
[16:08] <LinuxGold> thepeon: state your question about ssh, we might or might not answer.
[16:08] <darkhamm> how can i create a new launcher in kde4?
[16:08] <Floops[w]> anyone know the option for timeout with ssh
[16:08] <Floops[w]> so that once user is idle it log them out if over that time
[16:09] <LinuxGold> brb again
[16:09] <tinker> jrib:  I found the setting and I can see the files again in the file manager.  Thanks for help.
[16:09] <ztw4726> Floops[w]: you can try setting the TMOUT variable in the user's .bash_profile
[16:09] <gangil> what's the name of the process for the webcam in the output of ps -e
[16:09] <thepeon> I can connect using localhost, but can't connect from inside my network
[16:09] <gangil> plz help
[16:10] <jrib> tinker: no problem
[16:10] <LinuxGold> http://www.wikihow.com/Ask-a-Question-Intelligently
[16:10] <dr3mro> plz help me how to send email using mail command
[16:10] <th0r> gangil: there is no process for the webcam...it is the software you are using that you will find there
[16:10] <tinker> LinuxGold:  I hope the next your car breaks down your mechanic doesn't tell you to go enroll into a engineering school
[16:10] <LinuxGold> thepeon: your network might not be configured correctly.
[16:11] <tinker> have a good weekend
[16:11] <legend2440> vvvv: did you figure it out? i found a way
[16:11] <thepeon> LinuxGold, what would I be looking for??
[16:11] <LinuxGold> I went to engineering school :)
[16:11] <LinuxGold> ;P
[16:11] <mazda01_> i created a file in my home directory named .forward, will this forward all the system email I get to the address I put in the file?
[16:11] <vvvv> legend2440: no not yet
[16:11] <LinuxGold> thepeon: are you familiar with network technologies?
[16:11] <dr3mro> how to send email to my gmail inbox using mail command plz?
[16:12] <vvvv> how is your way?
[16:12] <thepeon> LinuxGold: for the mostpart
[16:12] <burkmat> LinuxGold, lol
[16:13] <LinuxGold> I attended Rochester Institute of Technology, hope that qualify
[16:14] <LinuxGold> I like this link better:  http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[16:14] <johnnyraidhelp> Lost raid after 9.04 upgrade, don't know where to start troubleshooting - any thoughts?
[16:14] <LinuxGold> add that to the bot ;)
[16:14] <thepeon> LinuxGold: I can ssh from server to desktop, but not desktop to server.  So I think it may be a firewall issue
[16:14] <burkmat> thepeon, can you ping the server from your client?
[16:14] <LinuxGold> desktop?
[16:14] <LinuxGold> on the same machine?
[16:14] <legend2440> vvvv: open synaptic  choose programs you want to download and either mark for install or mark for reinstall  then open  File>Generate download script and save the script then run the script  using  sudo ./script from inside dir you create to hold downloaded packages
[16:14] <thepeon> burkmat: yes
[16:14] <LinuxGold> desktop on top of server?
[16:14] <LinuxGold> or separate machines?
[16:14] <JEEBcz> Now seriously, doesn't anyone have a clue on how to make sure the ATi card is getting used properly and is functioning 100% - the guy I installed the 9.04 desktop to loves it, I don't want to go back to Windows for 3-D performance
[16:15] <thepeon> LinuxGold: no, two different machines
[16:15] <burkmat> thepeon, try running `ssh host -vvv` and see if you get anything useful out of it?
[16:15] <darkhamm> how can i create a new launcher in kde4?
[16:15] <legend2440> vvvv: then close synaptic without hitting apply so they dont get installed/reinstalled
[16:15] <LinuxGold> thepeon: ah, what burkmat asks.
[16:15] <mazda01_> dr3mro: i think it's just mail emailaddresshere, then enter your message, then hit ctrl-d to send your message
[16:16] <johnnyraidhelp> Just a quick test, new to irc - are my messages even broadcasting?
[16:16] <vvvv> That's an idea
[16:17] <thepeon> LinuxGold burkmat:  running 0.9.8g, reading configuration data, Applying options for * and ssh_connect: needpriv 0,
[16:17] <LinuxGold> johnnyraidhelp: acknowledged
[16:17] <duph> johnnyraidhelp: working :)
[16:17] <dr3mro> mazda01, i tries that but it gives me "Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to dr3mro "
[16:17] <johnnyraidhelp> thx all
[16:17] <thepeon> Last line reads ssh: Could not resolve hostname host: Name or service not known
[16:17] <LinuxGold> thepeon: from your workstation (desktop on your term) can you ping to a targeted server?
[16:17] <burkmat> thepeon, what hostname are you trying to connect to? dns issue perhaps?
[16:17] <burkmat> LinuxGold, He can.
[16:18] <LinuxGold> oh
[16:18] <LinuxGold> ok
[16:18]  * LinuxGold quiets down
[16:18] <LinuxGold> :P
[16:18] <LinuxGold> :)
[16:18] <thepeon> LinuxGold yest
[16:18] <burkmat> ^^
[16:18] <thepeon> burkmat, I'm just using the ip addresses right now, no local DNS yet
[16:18] <mazda01_> dr3mro: didi you follow a guide for setting up youir ubuntnu install for sending mail?
[16:18] <LinuxGold> is ssh port open in /etc/services?
[16:19] <burkmat> thepeon, huh... that sounds odd. it says it can't resolve an IP? oO
[16:19] <Titan8990> LinuxGold, you don't open ports, you get daemons to listen on them.... sudo aptitude install openssh-server
[16:19] <dr3mro> mazda01, no !
[16:19] <mazda01_> dr3mro: http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/09/25/Ubuntu-Sending-command-line-mail
[16:19] <LinuxGold> Titan8990 (updating my brain) thanks.
[16:19] <pmunt> type netstat -lptu that will tell you if the port is open
[16:20] <burkmat> thepeon, Are you running a firewall on the server? Or is this just a clean install?
[16:20] <thepeon> burkmat: It was a clean server install, only addition was gnome since I was having the ssh issues
[16:20] <kedar1> Hi! Want to know the differences between what "free" reports and what System Monitor shows as free memory. The outputs differ vastly
[16:21] <LinuxGold> kedarl: try top
[16:21] <LinuxGold> it's more detailed than just "free"
[16:21] <burkmat> kedar1, Not 100% sure about the specific apps you mention, but I notice huge differences between top/htop and so, it's because some apps count cached data as memory in use... could be.
[16:21] <frogzoo1> kedar1: free includes buffer allocations, which use a lot of space
[16:21] <Titan8990> kedar1, cat /proc/meminfo
[16:21] <pagoda> i'm trying to compile ndiswrapper (even though i shouldn't need it) and i get this error: Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build, is it configured?. Stop.
[16:22] <th0r> thepeon: you need the localhost defined in /etc/hosts
[16:22] <burkmat> thepeon, Hm... How are they connected? Any routers that might be giving you a hard time? Or is this all local, on the same subnet?
[16:22] <kedar1> but on the 8g RAM machine, free shows that only 1g is available!
[16:22] <kedar1> That's clearly not correct, I guess.
[16:22] <Titan8990> pagoda, you need the kernel headers for your kernel (in other distro you would need the entire source tree)
[16:22] <thepeon> burkmat, router and switch between, but have never had an ssh issue with this router
[16:22] <kedar1> ok, I should rely on Sys Monitor I think.
[16:22] <pagoda> Titan8990: how do i get those?
[16:22] <LinuxGold> kedarl: it should be -- allocated to be used for Operating System.
[16:22] <Titan8990> pagoda, so, because you are not doing things the proper way, you could possible need the source tree
[16:22] <kedar1> I will definitely try top as well.
[16:23] <LinuxGold> it doesn't mean that it is already in use, just "allocated"
[16:23] <pagoda> Titan8990: what is the proper way?
[16:23] <Titan8990> pagoda, through the package manager, where you should get everything, including ndiswrapper
[16:23] <haanuj> what is "Segment fault(Core Dumped)"
[16:23] <thepeon> th0r, local host defined as <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/hosts
[16:23] <Titan8990> pagoda, aptitude search kernel headers
[16:23] <jrib> kedar1: look at the +/- buffers line
[16:23] <Titan8990> pagoda, aptitude install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
[16:23] <pagoda> Titan8990: will that work without an internet connection?
[16:23] <th0r> thepeon: no...that error rings a bell...something about having to have the localhost's computer name and ip in hosts even if you aren't using dns
[16:23] <kedar1> @haanuj -- your program is trying to do an illegal access to memory location.
[16:23] <Titan8990> pagoda, no
[16:24] <haanuj> can anyone tell me that "segmentation Fault(Core Dumped)
[16:24] <pagoda> Titan8990: dammit. i'm trying to skip the steps that use apt-get because i don't want to dig out my ethernet cable
[16:24] <v4vijayakumar1> I am using ev-do wireless USB dongle (from, ZTE) for my internet connection. in a forum, I read that "some versions of Ubuntu do not perform as well with wireless (signal strength wise)." is it true ?!
[16:24] <haanuj> kedar1 : how can it solved
[16:24] <Titan8990> pagoda, thats terrible, download the all the .deb from the repos on a machine that does have internet and transfer it over
[16:24] <Titan8990> pagoda, do things the right way, period
[16:25] <thepeon> th0r, sorry, not following
[16:25] <pagoda> Titan8990: do you know how to get my wireless card working without ndiswrapper? i have a dell laptop with a broadcom card
[16:25] <kedar1> @haanuj, you should analyze the "core" file it dumped (that's what the message is trying to say)
[16:25] <pagoda> Titan8990: running jaunty
[16:25] <Titan8990> pagoda, no, i avoid broadcom at all times
[16:25] <pagoda> Titan8990: where do i get the .deb files?
[16:25] <Titan8990> pagoda, buy a better card such as an atheros
[16:25] <stercor> How do I restart apache2 without rebooting?
[16:25] <mazda01_> i am trying to get mail setup on my system and I am getting this in the /var/log/exim4/mainlog:    http://pastebin.com/f632f9ed3   any help please?
[16:25] <jrib> stercor: sudo service apache2 restart
[16:25] <Titan8990> pagoda, there is an aptitude option to fetch only
[16:25] <th0r> thepeon: yeah...here it is....a ways down the explaination he shows you /eetc/hosts...http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1100566.html
[16:25] <Taft> Hi! How would I change the sound theme on Ubuntu? Also, where would I find a list of sound themes?
[16:25] <haanuj> keden! : when i do "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" it gives that error
[16:26] <pagoda> Titan8990: i only have one computer. i'm dual booting windows and linux. sounds like i need an ethernet cable...
[16:26] <haanuj> kedar : when i do "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" it gives that error
[16:26] <Titan8990> mazda01, it looks like you have done no configuration
[16:26] <Titan8990> pagoda, yep
[16:26] <pagoda> Titan8990: thanks
[16:26] <nownot> does anyone here have ubuntu on their ps3?
[16:26] <th0r> thepeon: you need to define your server's name and local ip in /etc/hosts....it's as though the server can't find itself without an entry in hosts....can't find it with both hands <smile>
[16:27] <mazda01_> Titan8990: any guides for setting this up please?
[16:27] <kedar1> haanuj, the same command worked perfectly for me :)
[16:27] <Taft> How would I change the sound theme on Ubuntu? Also, where would I find a list of sound themes?
[16:27] <Titan8990> mazda01, do you realize that exim4 is a HIGHLY advanced smtp server, smtp servers being the most difficult servers to configure and secure for network admins?
[16:28] <haanuj> that's fine
[16:28] <haanuj> but it doesn't work for me
[16:28] <Titan8990> mazda01, you won't get any spoonfeeding with this, the guy that wrote exim4 has a decent book out there, search for it on amazon
[16:28] <richardcavell> Folks I just installed Karmic and ran zenmap on my system.  This is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/233229/  This is with Firestarter running. Can anyone explain why all those ports are open?
[16:28] <mazda01_> Titan8990: no sorry, I didn't know that. any easier mail apps to setup? i am merely trying to get a mail program so that I can send quick emails from the command line.
[16:28] <dr3mro> mazda01, no it didn't work and i am  using jaunty
[16:28] <bazhang> haanuj, is this jaunty or karmic
[16:28] <dr3mro> mazda01, i tries that but it gives me "Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to dr3mro "
[16:28] <haanuj> karmic
[16:28] <bazhang> richardcavell, #ubuntu+1 for karmic, haanuj you too
[16:28] <thepeon> th0r: ok, added <IP_ADDRESS> with the host name, still not able to log in
[16:28] <ztw4726> haanuj: karmic is alpha software, what do you expect?
[16:28] <Titan8990> mazda01, ssmtp was made for that
[16:29] <richardcavell> bazhang: I don't think it's relevant
[16:29] <haanuj> alpha software means ???
[16:29] <mazda01_> richardcavell: it
[16:29] <bazhang> richardcavell, that is where the discussion is
[16:29] <johnnyraidhelp> Not trying to be a broken record, just waiting for the devine moment - but just upgraded to 9.04 and lost my software raid and don't know where to begin troubleshooting - any thoughts?
[16:29] <Titan8990> mazda01_, http://linux.com/archive/feature/132006
[16:29] <ztw4726> haanuj: development is at alpha stage, very early, not released
[16:29] <kedar1> haanuj -- it means bleeding edge where you bleed with pleasure  :)
[16:30] <mazda01_> s not going to matter if you're behind a router unless you forward all those ports. if you're behind a hardware firewall just make sure none of the ports are forwarded or open
[16:30] <ztw4726> haanuj: stable ubuntu is still jaunty
[16:30] <bazhang> haanuj, karmic is alpha software---> #ubuntu+1 for discussion
[16:30] <haanuj> kedar1 : ok
[16:30] <LinuxGold> is there any good network map software for Ubuntu?
[16:30] <v4vijayakumar1> I am using ev-do wireless USB dongle (from, ZTE) for my internet connection. in a forum, I read that "some versions of Ubuntu do not perform as well with wireless (signal strength wise)." is it true ?! (2)
[16:30] <haanuj> thanx
[16:30] <th0r> thepeon: I assume you can ping to the server and have port 22 open to there as well. Do you have the same hosts file in both machines?
[16:30] <richardcavell> mazda01_: I have done that.  But what are the ports doing?
[16:30] <burkmat> LinuxGold, nmap? :)
[16:30] <Titan8990> LinuxGold, if you are talking about visio similar, no
[16:30] <nownot> does anyone here have ubuntu on their ps3?
[16:30] <Titan8990> LinuxGold, scanning then there is nmap
[16:31] <LinuxGold> visio similar
[16:31] <mazda01_> richardcavell: they are listening only on your internal network. they are services that you're running.
[16:31] <Titan8990> LinuxGold, yep... nothing close
[16:31] <LinuxGold>  I guess I will give cacti weathermap a try.
[16:31] <th0r> thepeon: and are you watching /var/log/messages on the server? it should show when ssh attempts to connect
[16:31] <mazda01_> th0r: don
[16:31] <mazda01_> th0r: doesn't ssh attempts get logged to auth.log
[16:31] <richardcavell> mazda01_: I didn't get them a little while ago.  Which services are they?
[16:31] <LinuxGold> Wish Spiceworks works on Linux.
[16:31] <th0r> mazda01_: I think so there too....but I always just checked messages
[16:31] <MuitAdrenalina> register
[16:32] <ztw4726> th0r: /var/log/auth.log would be better
[16:32] <th0r> ok... thepeon tail /var/log/auth.log ... (bowing to the majority)
[16:32] <mazda01_> richardcavell: you'd have to look them up on the internet. just goggle them.
[16:32] <LinuxGold> lol
[16:32] <nannes> LinuxGold: System > Administration > Network Tools   or   nmap (sudo apt-get install nmap) but it's without GI
[16:33] <mazda01_> Titan8990: can I uninstall exim4 safely and just use sSMTP then? I did sudo aptitude install mailutils and it installed a whole mess of stuff
[16:33] <LinuxGold> nannes: thanks, it sucks to be the only IT person in 300 workstations environment.
[16:33] <nannes> LinuxGold: ahahah
[16:34] <LinuxGold> and 14 Cisco switches
[16:34] <thepeon> th0r, entries about crons and accessing root
[16:34] <nannes> LinuxGold:  nmap is the best however
[16:34] <Titan8990> mazda01, aptitude remove exim4 && aptitude auto-clean
[16:34] <LinuxGold> I'll give nmap a try -- but I need to be able to analyze quickly to be able to have time for other things.
[16:34] <th0r> thepeon: then ssh isn't being accessed...you aren't making it to the server. Can you ping the server ip?
[16:34] <thepeon> th0r, yes
[16:35] <Titan8990> LinuxGold, maybe you should have made documentation around the implementation stage....
[16:35] <th0r> thepeon: you are going through a wifi router?
[16:35] <LinuxGold> hmm....
[16:35] <thepeon> th0r, no
[16:35] <Titan8990> LinuxGold, good network docuementation > all
[16:36] <th0r> thepeon: just an ethernet hub or switch?
[16:36] <DefunctProcess> To add a new samba share anually I just edit smb.conf and add path = /home/usr and restart samba daemon yes?
[16:36] <LinuxGold> titan8990: have you tried Spiceworks?
[16:36] <thepeon> th0r, switch and router, but the router is allowing access reversely (ssh from server to desktop)
[16:37] <kedar1> ok guys, here is a question that is probably asked many times. so, apologies in advance --
[16:37] <th0r> thepeon: you can ssh server to desktop but not the other way?
[16:37] <thepeon> th0r, yep
[16:37] <burkmat> !ask | kedar1
[16:37] <kedar1> If you are hosting your own "server" ubuntu machine, what is a very good resource for sys admins -- I wan to do the things "right".
[16:38] <wet> how can i boot my ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition without x window/gnome? i want to use my ubuntu desktop edition like a server edition.
[16:38] <th0r> thepeon: is there a firewall? sounds like a firewall policy for port 22 that only works in one direction
[16:38] <thepeon> th0r, not that I have set up
[16:38] <nannes> kedar1: what?
[16:38] <burkmat> !nogui
[16:38] <kedar1> The question is about "Where to Start" (sorry for the disappointment in question ;))
[16:38] <mike_s> hi...i have connected my acer aspire 1694wlmi (ubuntu 8.04.3, ATI mobility X700) via s-video to my tv! everything looks good...but how can i adjust the screen resolution on my tv...because i cant see the whole desktop??
[16:39] <LinuxGold> kedar1: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[16:39] <burkmat> kedar1, What do you want your server to do?
[16:39] <thepeon> th0r the router firewall is only set up to firewall from the outside, not the internal side of the network
[16:39] <th0r> thepeon: there is no entry in auth.log so it appears the ssh request is never reaching the server. I would look real close at the router and the switch.
[16:39] <kedar1> LinuxGold -- thanks :)
[16:39] <_Lucretia_> hi, i'm on 8.04 and want to upgrade, but the "sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade" fails to find any upgrades, what am i missing?
[16:39] <burkmat> thepeon, what is the exact command line you use when trying to ssh to the server?
[16:39] <kedar1> burkmat -- I want it to be on the Internet :) (scary, I think)
[16:39] <th0r> thepeon: (there is something buried under years of dust...something about those darn switches)
[16:39] <thepeon> ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:40] <MrKorrupt> hey ppl
[16:40] <MrKorrupt> :-(
[16:40] <LinuxGold> hi korrupt
[16:40] <nannes> kedar1:   -.- what do you want your server to do?
[16:40] <thepeon> th0r, I'll take another look
[16:40] <th0r> thepeon: just use the ip...ssh <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:40] <MrKorrupt> im having problems with my ubuntu 9.04
[16:40] <kedar1> nannes -- I want it to host my web applications.
[16:40] <MrKorrupt> it doesnt play the sound
[16:40] <thepeon> th0r, tried that as well
[16:40] <MrKorrupt> is anyone willing to help me
[16:40] <burkmat> thepeon, probably sound stupid, but are you sure <IP_ADDRESS> is your server and not the router? ^^
[16:41] <th0r> burkmat: that was my next question <smile>
[16:41] <thepeon> opps, sorry, ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:41] <burkmat> lol
[16:41] <ztw4726> thepeon: try   nc <IP_ADDRESS> 22   you should see something like: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2
[16:41] <burkmat> thepeon, does it work with `ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>:P
[16:41] <nannes> kedar1: so you need to install apache web server, mysql (with phpmyadmin) and when it's all ready you have to register to a static DNS SERVER for example dynDNS
[16:41] <thepeon> burkmat, nope
[16:42] <kedar1> nannes- correct. I gather that.
[16:42] <th0r> thepeon: or you can telnet to port 22 and see the same I think
[16:42] <thepeon> ztw4726, would I run that on the server or client?
[16:42] <burkmat> thepeon, do what ztw4726 said, but with the right ip. `nc <IP_ADDRESS> 22`.
[16:42] <MrKorrupt> anyone :-(
[16:42] <burkmat> thepeon, client.
[16:42] <nannes> kedar1: it's to obtain an hostname which is always associated to your IP
[16:42] <kedar1> But I need to make sure that I know where to look for when "system problems" strike
[16:42] <ztw4726> thepeon: on the client if <IP_ADDRESS> is the servers's ip
[16:42] <kedar1> I think going from a "hosted service" to your own machines hosting your applications is a great leap ...
[16:43] <_Lucretia_> ok, found it
[16:43] <mazda01_> Titan8990: actually installing sSMTP removed exim4 and all it's dependencies
[16:43] <kedar1> I want to do it step by step, if possible.
[16:43] <thepeon> ztw4726 burkmat it's sitting, no connection no error yet
[16:43] <kedar1> I am willing to learn by going wrong, but need to know a good starting point.
[16:43] <Titan8990> mazda01, nice, a server can only have one smtp server
[16:43] <th0r> thepeon: yeah...you aren't making the trip to the server...the router or switch is blocking it
[16:43] <nannes> kedar1: LinuxGold told you yet... GOOGLE!
[16:43] <kedar1> :)
[16:44] <ztw4726> thepeon: then you cannot reach the server on tcp port 22
[16:44] <burkmat> kedar1, Well, for a webserver just install Ubuntu Server with LAMP and start playing around. It's all there.
[16:44] <kedar1> google, yes, of course. But there are some issues i think
[16:44] <ztw4726> thepeon: check if any iptables rules on the server block incoming traffic
[16:44] <LinuxGold> cough, is sshd up and running?
[16:44] <burkmat> thepeon, on server, `iptables -L`
[16:44] <kedar1> e.g. free vs System Monitor, your system's syslog etc. Basic disk partitioning ...
[16:45] <kedar1> burkmat -- yes, I have done just that.
[16:45] <ztw4726> LinuxGold: if sshd wasn't running he would get "connection refused"
[16:45] <th0r> thepeon: and while you are on the server....'ps ax | grep sshd' and make sure the ssh server is running
[16:45] <mazda01_> Titan8990: /usr/local/ssmtp/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf  isn't even there? I am doing a locate on it now
[16:45] <kedar1> yes, I will keep on playing with it and coming back to #ubuntu which is a great resource!
[16:45] <Samm> I am having a problem with my Atheros Wlan adapter.  I am running Ubuntu 9.04. My HP Atheros was working fine until today when I turned it on, it would connect to my wireless network but would see other networks in the Network Applet. So, to see if it would help, I opened System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and enables the madwifi drivers and rebooted, and I could not see any networks at all. I rebooted into Windows (which I only use for
[16:45] <nannes> kedar1: you'll find those thing, too
[16:45] <LinuxGold> kedarl: BTW, welcome!
[16:45] <thepeon> th0r, yest, it's running
[16:45] <nannes> kedar1: only if you start googling
[16:45] <thepeon> burkmat: what I'm i looking for in the iptables?
[16:45] <Titan8990> mazda01, try /etc/ssmtp
[16:46] <LinuxGold> kedarl: I suggest linuxquestions.org
[16:46] <burkmat> thepeon, Any rules regarding port 22. if this was a clean install though you shouldn't have any rules?
[16:46] <LinuxGold> and lurk there.
[16:46] <th0r> thepeon: is the server in service right now or it is new? I would disable iptables rules for now
[16:46] <LinuxGold> the more you read, the more you will learn
[16:47] <kedar1>   Thanks LinuxGold. I will park on LinuxQuestions.org
[16:47] <kedar1> How about Ubuntu forums?
[16:47] <LinuxGold> that too
[16:47] <LinuxGold> linuxquestions is more geared at linux by itself.
[16:47] <LinuxGold> the more you learn about linux, the more you will be able to understand ubuntu
[16:47] <nannes> kedar1: I suggest you to use Ubuntu Server Edition
[16:47] <thepeon> burkmat ztw4726 nothing for port 22
[16:48] <ztw4726> thepeon: how did you check?
[16:48] <burkmat> thepeon, Just making sure here: You have a Server connected to a LAN port on a router which does not firewall internal traffic, and on the same router you have, also plugged into a LAN port, a switch, and to that you have your client? So the only "smart" device between Server and Client is a router, which is not the culprit?
[16:48] <th0r> thepeon: it might not be  specific to port 22.
[16:48] <mazda01_> Titan8990: found it, can you suggest what I need to change to have it so that gmail smtp servers sends mail or don't I need to do that?
[16:48] <nannes> kedar1: about partitions... as you like!! for example create a new partition for /tmp and format it with ReiserFS
[16:48] <thepeon> burkmat yes (but switch is between router and server
[16:48] <LinuxGold> (I'm thinking if apache is up and running, should thepeon check if he is able to see it from desktop?)
[16:49] <kedar1> Thank you folks. I agree, the more I know of Linux, the more I will enjoy Ubuntu.
[16:49] <burkmat> thepeon, Alright.
[16:49] <nannes> kedar1: another partition for /var/  (for example on ext3 or ext4 if compatibility is ok)
[16:49] <LinuxGold> kedarl: if someone advise you to do "rm -rf /"  DO NOT DO IT!
[16:49] <th0r> thepeon: is this server in active service or new?
[16:49] <thepeon> th0r, new
[16:49] <burkmat> !danger | LinuxGold
[16:50] <nannes> kedar1: and another also for the webserver files, and certainly you mustn't forget root partition with all the rest
[16:50] <th0r> thepeon: then I would suggest flushing all the iptables rules momentarily to see if the firewall is the culprit (iptables -F on the server)
[16:50] <Samm> Running Ubuntu 9.04, I am unable to connect on a HP-Atheros AR242x. This morning I couldn't connect, but could see networks using the Network Applet. To try and remedy the problem, I enabled madwifi, and now I can see no networks, neither in Ubuntu nor Windows. I disable the madwifi drivers, but the problem persists. Anything I can do to fix my wlan card?
[16:51] <thepeon> th0r: trying now, looks like it's going to timeout again
[16:51] <ztw4726> thepeon: does the server have more than one ethernet interface?
[16:51] <maui> hi guys, ive got a porable sound recorder which won't work on my pc, i had the drivers installed but its just not seen, any idea? thanks
[16:51] <LinuxGold> Gotta cook lunch for family.
[16:51] <LinuxGold> bbl
[16:51] <th0r> thepeon: is there a firewall on the desktop?
[16:52] <thepeon> ztw4726, yes, but it's not currently connected
[16:52] <burkmat> ztw4726, Good question. ;)
[16:52] <thepeon> th0r, no
[16:52] <th0r> thepeon: then it is a problem in the router....has to be
[16:52] <burkmat> th0r, or sshd is listening on the wrong NIC!
[16:52] <th0r> burkmat: he said he could ping the server and ssh server to desktop, so the nic should be good
[16:53] <th0r> burkmat: ...oh...didn't think of that (doooh)
[16:53] <lenswipe> if im logged into an ubuntu machine through ssh and there is a local user logged in is there a way to have a message box appear on the local users screen?
[16:53] <ztw4726> thepeon: try running tcpdump on the server's interface which is connected to the switch: sudo tcpdump -ni ethX   (where X could be 0 or 1)
[16:53] <lenswipe> this is on ubuntu with GNOME desktop environment
[16:53] <lenswipe> anyone know?
[16:54] <NEBAP> can someone tell me how I can add the peoples list in xchat?
[16:54] <narcoclepsy> does anyone know how i can "reset" pulse audio? ever since i used alsamixer once, pulse audio seems to have given up
[16:54] <ztw4726> burkmat: if the server is listening on the wrong nic, he still would get "connection refused" (tcp reset)
[16:54] <narcoclepsy> my volume control has become ineffetive.
[16:54] <burkmat> ztw4726, Ah... True. must be something dropping packets rather than rejecting...
[16:55] <ztw4726> burkmat: that's why i suggested running tcpdump on the server
[16:55] <thepeon> ztw4726, ok, now what am i looking for with the tcpdump?
[16:55] <Samm> Running Ubuntu 9.04, I am unable to connect on a HP-Atheros AR242x. This morning I couldn't connect, but could see networks using the Network Applet. To try and remedy the problem, I enabled madwifi, and now I can see no networks, neither in Ubuntu nor Windows. I disable the madwifi drivers, but the problem persists. Anything I can do to fix my wlan card?
[16:55] <ztw4726> thepeon: you look for tcp port 22 packets
[16:55] <jonex_> Slowwwww wirelessssss
[16:55] <lenswipe> ztw4726, you got any ideas about that?
[16:56] <ztw4726> lenswipe: hmm?
[16:56] <nio> test
[16:56] <lenswipe> ztw4726, im logged into a box thru ssh and someone else is loged in locally, how do i have a message box appear on their screen (i have root privaliges)
[16:56] <nannes> nio: it works! :D
[16:57] <thepeon> ztw4726, ok, not seeing anything and I tried connecting from the client with tcpdump running
[16:57] <ztw4726> lenswipe: use the  write  command
[16:57] <thepeon> I think I need to dig through my router
[16:57] <jonex_> i'm having slow wirelessss
[16:57] <nio> ?
[16:57] <lenswipe> ztw4726, ooh, how do i do that? is it just "write <<message>>"
[16:57] <lenswipe> like that?
[16:57] <th0r> thepeon: yup...I would look close at that router
[16:57] <ztw4726> thepeon: then the packets aren't physically arriving on the server
[16:58] <thepeon> th0r, ok,  just looked and realized I wasn't running my firewall
[16:58] <ztw4726> thepeon: try ping and see if tcpdump shows that
[16:58] <Bookman> I don't seem to be able to print to my printer at all times.  I started my computer up, printed a one page simple document.  All went well.  Now I try to print a 65 page pdf document and no luck.  When I go the the Printers dialog box, it says it may not be connected.
[16:58] <burkmat> ztw4726, I think lenswipe is trying to write to a GNOME Session, is that even possible with `write`?
[16:58] <Samm> !msg | Samm
[16:58] <thepeon> ztw4726, seeing the ping
[16:58] <th0r> thepeon: just run a crossover cable between the desktop and the server...that would verify ssh is running and that the problem is elsewhere
[16:58] <ztw4726> burkmat: write can only write to other user's terminals if the have   mesg y   set
[16:59] <burkmat> ztw4726, aye, as I thought.
[16:59] <th0r> thepeon: but I am pretty sure it will be in the router or the switch
[16:59] <lenswipe> ztw4726, but i was wanting to have  a msg box appear on their screen
[16:59] <th0r> thepeon: is it a smart switch?
[16:59] <lenswipe> like windows netsend
[16:59] <ztw4726> thepeon: then something IS filtering the port 22 traffic
[16:59] <lenswipe> but a local version
[16:59] <burkmat> thepeon, can you try connecting the client and server to the same switch?
[16:59] <ztw4726> thepeon: you pinged the server from the client, right?
[16:59] <thepeon> th0r, nope, netgear fast switch
[17:00] <thepeon> ztw4726, yes
[17:00] <Samm> Running Ubuntu 9.04, I am unable to connect on a HP-Atheros AR242x. This morning I couldn't connect, but could see networks using the Network Applet. To try and remedy the problem, I enabled madwifi, and now I can see no networks, neither in Ubuntu nor Windows. I disable the madwifi drivers, but the problem persists. Anything I can do to fix my wlan card?
[17:00] <ztw4726> lenswipe: if you have root privs, you can copy the .Xauthority from the user who is logged in graphically, set the DISPLAY variable to :0 and run xmessage or something
[17:01] <lenswipe> ztw4726, thanks, would zenity be any use?
[17:01] <thepeon> burkmat, connecting both to the router first (so I don't lose you guys
[17:01] <ztw4726> lenswipe: should work
[17:01] <brodymcd> could someone help me with a partition question?
[17:01] <JonathanEllis> I have a folder in Trash that I dont have permission to delete. How do I get rid of it?
[17:02] <th0r> brodymcd: depends on the question
[17:02] <ztw4726> lenswipe: but you still need to copy the .Xauthority file from the user to get display permission on the X server
[17:02] <lenswipe> ztw4726, thanks :)
[17:02] <Samm> No one, then?
[17:02] <lenswipe> yh
[17:02] <Bookman> I see the following in my system log: serial8250: too much work for irq17
[17:02] <lenswipe> ztw4726, unless i use root :P
[17:02] <ztw4726> lenswipe: even with root
[17:02] <edbian> JonathanEllis: You could give yourself permission using the "chown" command.
[17:02] <ztw4726> lenswipe: X display permissions do not make use of UIDs
[17:03] <JonathanEllis> edbian: Thanks. What is the path to items in trash?
[17:03] <lenswipe> ztw4726, dang
[17:03] <edbian> JonathanEllis: Good question!  I'm not really sure. :)
[17:03] <ztw4726> lenswipe: but when you are root, you can read the user's .Xautority file
[17:03] <Halitech> JonathanEllis, your personal trash is ~/.trash
[17:04] <MT-> ok.... what package do I need to install to make notify-osd work!? I've installed gnome-osd, libxosd2, notify-osd, osdsh, xosd-bin, what else do I need to install??
[17:04] <lenswipe> ztw4726, right thanks
[17:04] <edbian> JonathanEllis: It's a hidden folder in your /home directory: "/home/JonathanEllis/.Trash"
[17:04] <brodymcd> I have vista dual-boot system, and I thought I only had Vista, Dell Recovery, Ubuntu and a swap partition... I want to take the remaining area and make it a data partition, but it says I already have 4... how to make this work? Image of gparted here... http://img.waffleimages.com/4f73e950cf05dc435c66549b400d3faf91544527/Screenshot--dev-sda%20-%20GParted-1.png
[17:05] <floating> what's a good system monitor tool that would add a tray icon showing the current cpu load from there ?
[17:05] <th0r> Halitech: JonathanEllis in jaunty I think trash was moved to ~/.local/share/Trash
[17:05] <Bookman> Ok, confirmed.  It will print a one page document, but nothing more.
[17:05] <edbian> floating: There is a panel applet called "system monitor" that lets you put little monitoring windows on th panel.
[17:06] <Gamma-X> whats the command to delete a directory and its sub contents?
[17:06] <JonathanEllis> th0r: Thanks. Found that
[17:06] <edbian> Gamma-X: sudo rm -r <directory>

[17:06] <floating> edbian: oh it does. I have it actually open, but when i minimize it I dont get it in tray. quickly checking the options I could not find either but
[17:07] <burkmat> !trash
[17:07] <edbian> floating: There are 2 things called "system monitor"  The actual program which is located in System -> Admin and the panel applet.  You can add the panel applet by right clicking an empty spot on the panel and "adding to panel..."  Then select system monitor.  It doesn't go in the notification area but it does go on the panel.
[17:08] <edbian> floating: "System Monitor" the app IS NOT the same as "System Monitor Panel Applet"
[17:08] <floating> edbian: thanks, found it
[17:08] <edbian> floating: Awesome!
[17:12] <Bookman> Could anyone help with my printer problem?
[17:13] <unixbocx> hello room
[17:13] <Ravahan> Hello all.  Does anyone here have any experience with Getlibs?
[17:13] <caveman2> hello all
[17:13] <unixbocx> can someone help out with a dhcp problem
[17:13] <kari> hello
[17:13] <unixbocx> can someone help out with a dhcp server problem
[17:14] <durt> folks, just ask your questions if someone knows they'll answer.
[17:14] <burkmat> !ask | unixbocx
[17:14] <tobi__> hello
[17:15] <th0r> brodymcd: you can have only four primary partitions, but you can create an extended partition for data
[17:15] <tobi__> sup
[17:15] <kari> anyone knows your broblem but, all guys is so lazy
[17:15] <dnet1> defan
[17:15] <dnet1> hai - hai aq fandhi
[17:15] <caveman2> where can I find  a generic video driver for Ubuntu?
[17:15] <tobi__> how are u talking to me unless u have linex??
[17:16] <durt> caveman2, the vesa-server is as generic as they come.
[17:16] <candrodor> How important is it to have a separate /boot partition?
[17:16] <Halitech> caveman2, linux comes with generic drivers
[17:16] <tobi__> i dont no
[17:16] <unixbocx> ok, thanks, i have a ubuntu server running with dhcp server running on it,(two nic cards) i can dhcp out to my cable modem to get online now but how do i get my linksys router to be part of the internat network to the rest of the other machines, dhcp is turned off on the router..
[17:16] <dnet1> haha salome
[17:16] <Halitech> candrodor, unless you are planning multiple installs of linux distros, its not important to have a seperate /boot
[17:17] <kari> listen to all the drivers, ubuntu should be updated by itself
[17:17] <dnet1> opo ndeso
[17:17] <Ravahan> Hello, can anyone give me a hand using Getlibs?  I'm trying to install a 32 bit program on 64 bit jaunty.  getlibs says to "Make sure you have all repositories enabled and updated", but I'm really not exactly sure how to do that and google seems to just be confusing me at the moment.
[17:17] <bazhang> dnet1, English please
[17:17] <ztw4726> unixbocx: you must enable IP forwarding and NAT on the ubuntu server
[17:19] <unixbocx> ok, i will look into that but can my linksys router be inbetween mt server and the rest of the network, can it act like a hub without using the uplink port
[17:19] <unixbocx> my server
[17:19] <Bookman>  I don't seem to be able to print to my printer at all times.  I started my computer up, printed a one page simple document.  All went well.  Now I try to print a 65 page pdf document and no luck.  When I go the the Printers dialog box, it says it may not be connected.
[17:19] <EDinNY> why doesn't evolution know what programs to open to view attachments?
[17:19] <ztw4726> unixbocx: i don't know anything about your linksys router
[17:19] <EDinNY> It used to
[17:20] <Ravahan> unixbocx: In order to get your linksys router to behave like a hub, you'll have to use one of the numbered ports for the incoming connection
[17:20] <EDinNY> it used to before I upgraded from ubuntu to 9.04 kubuntu
[17:20] <unixbocx> ok, i do have it set up like that now, i get a limited or no connection on the winbox
[17:21] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Okay, is the Linksys set on the same IP range as the dhcp server?
[17:21] <ztw4726> unixbocx: if the linksys is a router (not a switch), you won't get any dhcp over it, because a dhcp request is a broadcast. broadcasts cannot be routed.
[17:22] <unixbocx> i was looking into that but can't seem to log back into my router on <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:22] <brodymcd> th0r: how can I create an extended partition? When I hit "new" it says I can't... how do I create extended without deleting one of the 4 primary?
[17:22] <Ravahan> ztw4726: I actually had a Linksys router doing passthrough from a Netgear, so it can be done
[17:23] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Right, it won't let you log into it without an IP Address...
[17:23] <unixbocx> i believe i did yesterday get one winbox to come online throught eth1
[17:23] <george1> hi, im wondering if anyone can tell me how to set the CPU multiplier?...  thanks
[17:23] <acdspit00> whats up
[17:23] <ztw4726> Ravahan: well i don't know many routers. i always use linux boxes for routing.
[17:23] <unixbocx> but i didn't have the router connected
[17:24] <uBUNTUVISTA> Hi does anyone know where to get 9.04 ubuntu themes?
[17:24] <Halitech> george1, depending on the motherboard, it may be a jumper on the board or a setting in the BIOS
[17:24] <uBUNTUVISTA> like to make it look like mac or windows etc -
[17:24] <PoisonSerpent> @ubuntuvista. Google should help.
[17:24] <PoisonSerpent> Hold on a sec.
[17:24] <lightningseed> uBUNTUVISTA: gnomelook.org
[17:24] <uBUNTUVISTA> more modern* look thats all
[17:24] <unixbocx> what i'm trying to do is still use the linksys routers wifi
[17:24] <ztw4726> unixbocx: so how is the winbox connected to the ubuntu server now?
[17:24] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Ah okay
[17:24] <kpkeerthi> www.gnome-look.org
[17:24] <acdspit00> i was wondering  if anyone had a good link for what services I can disable with BUM on a Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[17:25] <unixbocx> it's not it's going through the linksys router now and not connecting
[17:25] <uBUNTUVISTA> ty ty guys
[17:25] <khensthoth> uBUNTUVISTA: Try this http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/9-great-gnome-themes-with-ubuntu.html
[17:26] <Ravahan> unixbocx: I had a similar problem, and what I found out from a friend of mine was that the wireless part of the router and the wired part are different devices.  At least with the wireless device I was using, it was not possible to enable wireless IP Passthrough as broadcast would just turn off whenever I disabled DHCP
[17:26] <uBUNTUVISTA> Ok thanks X I will look now at bothh Gnome-Look and WEBUP8
[17:26] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Would it be possible to rearrange the network so that you have the wireless access point providing the dhcp?
[17:26] <ztw4726> Ravahan: what you f*** stupid device
[17:26] <george1> halitech, my system was running really slow and i realised that although ubuntu recognises the cpu as 1.6Ghz it runs it at 600Mhz or at least thats what the CPU monitor is telling me. i should have worded my question differently.  is there a way to force it to stay at 1.6Ghz?
[17:26] <Bookman> Ok, my printer error seems to be an evince bug
[17:26] <ztw4726> Ravahan: s/you/a/
[17:27] <Halitech> george1, probably using cpu scaling which is usually set in the BIOS
[17:27] <uBUNTUVISTA> khensthoth omg those themes are perfect! so nice!
[17:27] <ztw4726> Ravahan: sorry, typo
[17:27] <uBUNTUVISTA> khensthoth thankyou!!!!
[17:27] <Ravahan> ztw4726: lol I was wondering
[17:27] <khensthoth> uBUNTUVISTA: Glad you like them.
[17:27] <unixbocx> ok this is what i was hoping to do, Cable box > ubuntuserver on eth0(dhcp'd) > eth1 out to router > wireless out to any other devices, dhcp giving ips out from the ubuntu server
[17:28] <george1> Halitech, i know you can set it in the bios but ubuntu has it built in to the os which seems to be over riding that?...
[17:28] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Is there any particular reason that you need the Ubuntu server to be in the front?
[17:28] <uBUNTUVISTA> khensthoth E: Couldn't find package tropical-theme
[17:28] <uBUNTUVISTA> khensthoth its not working :(
[17:29] <Halitech> george1, do you have cpu scaling turned off in the BIOS?
[17:29] <c0ntract0r> How can I record a video stream inside firefox in ubuntu? I'm fairly oriented, just don't know which addon/app...?
[17:29] <george1> Halitech, im not sure.  are you thinking that if i turn it off then ubuntu wont be able to limit the CPU?
[17:29] <th0r> brodymcd: I assume you are in gnome, so gparted is the utility to use. I haven't had much experience with a lot of partitions...always just had two primary and put the rest into extended partitions. You might check here for more info....http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/ref/hdd/index.html
[17:29] <noquinho> oi, tudo bem ?
[17:30] <Halitech> george1, yes, it 'idles' down to save power when it doesn't need to run at full speed
[17:30] <PoisonSerpent> Does anybody know what invalid ROM contents mean?
[17:30] <unixbocx> i was having trouble getting godaddy to redirect to my dyndns with ddclient , i would get my router loging screen so i thought i'd but my server in front and get the ip address the cable box give, which would make godaddys record easier,
[17:31] <PoisonSerpent> *means?
[17:31] <unixbocx> Arecord
[17:31] <george1> Halitech, ok but the system seems to be eating my cpu. xorg is constantly running at a minimum of 30%
[17:31] <Ravahan> unixbocx: What I would advise you try is this; If you need open access on the server, set up DMZ to the Ubuntu server on a static IP with the router in front.  That way you don't have to turn off the DHCP on the router.  If you still need the port in your server for space concerns, you can bridge the connection
[17:32] <acdspit00> anyone know of a good BUM guide for disabling unneeded services/boot up items with Ubuntu netbook version
[17:32] <rkpisanu> c0ntract0r, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006
[17:32] <c0ntract0r> thanks very much friend
[17:32] <unixbocx> i was looking into that DMZ but would my ip address still be dhcp'd from the router
[17:33] <unixbocx> for the server
[17:33] <Halitech> george1, the system is going to use what it needs, you can either disable the cpu scaling and run full speed all the time or leave it and when it needs the speed it will bump the speed up
[17:33] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Well, it could be, but you can also just set up a static IP.  There's a way to automaticly load a static IP in Ubuntu rather that setting it up at each boot, and you'll wanna do that.  Hold on, let me see if I can find the link for ya
[17:34] <Ravahan> unixbocx: I stumbled across it recently
[17:34] <unixbocx> ok thanks
[17:35] <unixbocx> i was concerned that i wouldn't be able to get the A record in godaddy to point to my server
[17:35] <george1> halitech, i think im just stuck with ubuntu running really slowly then! never mind. thanks for your help.  at the risk of being hung drawn and quartered; is there another os that is less cpu intensive?  lol
[17:36] <unixbocx> i have no problem getting dyndns to work find even if the server is behind the router and can even have more websites hosted with apache virtual host
[17:36] <Halitech> george1, if you know ubuntu and like how it works you could go Debian, its no harder the Ubuntu is anymore
[17:36] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Here's a guide on how to setup a static IP in Ubuntu Server.  http://tinyurl.com/2u8ufw
[17:36] <Ravahan> unixbocx: If that doesn't get you up and running, then you've not lost anything but a few minutes as that's all easily reversable, but you could save yourself a lot of headache
[17:36] <george1> halitech, many thanks
[17:37] <warinthepocket> quick question - where is the xorg config file? i would expect it in /etc/X11/, but that's blank
[17:37] <dtchen> warinthepocket: that's expected and normal for common video drivers
[17:37] <Halitech> warinthepocket, it is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:37] <sidewalk> just bought a 1tb disk, external, usb, what filesystem do you guys recommend to run on it? there is some msdos thing on it now
[17:38] <warinthepocket> sidewalk: ZFS!
[17:38] <Halitech> warinthepocket, make sure you are putting X11 and not x11
[17:38] <Ravahan> unixbocx: I've not personally hosted a website out of my home, but it shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think.  I've never known someone who ran a site directly plugged into their cable modem
[17:38] <quickhand> I have a convertible touchscreen eee pc T91, but it doesn't recognize the video adapter.  I end up in standard vesa.  Can anyone help?
[17:38] <Ravahan> unixbocx: I hope that helps some
[17:39] <sidewalk> warinthepocket: windows doesnt read zfs right?
[17:39] <warinthepocket> sidewalk: nope
[17:39] <unixbocx> thanks Ravahan, you've been a big help, shame my nickname is unixbocx and asking simple unix box question lmao..
[17:39] <Halitech> sidewalk, will is be shared with windows boxes?
[17:39] <warinthepocket> sidewalk: windows won't read half of the file systems you can use
[17:39] <Agat0n> Gah. I can't syncronize my iPod with Banshee nor gntpod.. It says "reading Joels iPod" but nothin happens
[17:39] <Ravahan> unixbocx: Hey, np man.  I'm glad to give something back here.  I've been pestering these guys off and on all week.
[17:40] <Agat0n> and in gtkpod it syncronizes but nothin gets transfered even thou gtkpod says it i
[17:40] <Agat0n> s
[17:40] <krishmish> someone help me set up skype in ubuntu???
[17:40] <warinthepocket> Halitech: xorg.conf is empty
[17:40] <Halitech> !skype
[17:40] <sidewalk> i might connect it to windows boxes
[17:40] <candrodor> krishmish: What's the problem?
[17:40] <Halitech> warinthepocket, it should have something
[17:40] <unixbocx> lol, ok, unplugging now to reset the network up and check out DMZ
[17:40] <krishmish> i cant hear my voice in the test call
[17:40] <warinthepocket> Halitech: not a thing
[17:41] <krishmish> candrodor: i set the audio options to pulse
[17:41] <Halitech> sidewalk, then if you might connect to windows, NTFS or FAT32 are your best options
[17:41] <sidewalk> okey, thanks :P
[17:41] <Halitech> warinthepocket, how are you opening it? cli or nautilus?
[17:41] <sidewalk> well, i dont have any windows boxes
[17:41] <warinthepocket> Halitech: less shows nothing, ls -l shows it's size is 0
[17:41] <sidewalk> maybe i should just go for zfs
[17:41] <warinthepocket> Halitech: cli
[17:41] <krishmish> candrodor: sound in : pulse
[17:41] <candrodor> krishmish: If it's the problem I had, you need to set Mic Boost on 'cause otherwise the mic won't come off loudly enough.
[17:41] <candrodor> nto sure.
[17:41] <sidewalk> how can i format the disk in ubuntu, is there some cute graphical interface?
[17:42] <Halitech> warinthepocket, did you make sure the X11 was X11 not x11?
[17:42] <warinthepocket> yep
[17:42] <warinthepocket> it's /etc/X11/
[17:42] <Halitech> sidewalk, partition editor
[17:42] <_42> sidewalk: yes sudo apt-get install gparted
[17:42] <thehook> can someone please kick and ban HrnyLindsey ? It's a spambot!
[17:42] <Zoffix> I suggest you ban HrnyLindsey; it's a bot that sends a /msg on /join: <HrnyLindsey> hi my name is lindsey im very horny please contact me on my page http://sxylindsey.webs.com i have pics and vids of my being cummed on my face
[17:42] <krishmish> candrodor: there is no mic boost option
[17:42] <sidewalk> thanks guys, you are the world! :-)
[17:43] <sidewalk> in the old days one used fdisk ;-)
[17:43] <candrodor> krishmish: double click on volume control up in top right corner by the time.  Edit- > Preferences -> Mic Boost and Mic Capture
[17:43] <sidewalk> or perhaps cfdisk
[17:43] <Halitech> warinthepocket, strange, usually at least has stuff that is commented out
[17:43] <Zoffix> Anyway, I'm failing to find which package contains `avisplit` I remember using that app to split AVI files into several pieces; aptitude avisplit shows no results neither does Synaptic Package Manager.... anyone know where I can get that app?
[17:43] <raar> Hi, since upgrade from 8.something to 9.something, firefox doesn't have flash sound for my user (it does for user root). Deleting ~/.mozilla does not make a change. When I run gstreamer-properties, with the same settings for user thomas and user root, it only makes test sound for user root. Any clue what could be wrong?
[17:43] <candrodor> krishmish: then go to the switches tab and tick Mic Boost.
[17:43] <Halitech> Zoffix, avidemux?
[17:43] <Zoffix> Halitech, hmr... just had it installed and it doesn't contain avisplit
[17:44] <Zoffix> Lemme check the man page if avidemux can split
[17:44] <sidewalk> oh
[17:44] <Halitech> Zoffix, I thought it did, if not there are other apps, check add/remove
[17:45] <candrodor> any luck, krishmish?
[17:45] <sidewalk> it doesn't seem to be able to create neither jfs nor xfs
[17:45] <warinthepocket> Halitech: X starts up fine, i'm just wanting to change the keymap to dvorak
[17:45] <sidewalk> ext3 and ext4 yes, and fat32 and some others, but not xfs or jfs
[17:45] <Zoffix> Hmr, it got --autosplit option to split every $x bytes... avisplit used to have the -t option to split on times :|
[17:45] <militant> just dropped in demoing linux to someone.  they're disturbed by the CLI it seems
[17:45] <Zoffix> wtf happened to that app :|
[17:45] <[victoria]> Do any of you use the Steam platform for gaming on linux?
[17:45] <krishmish> candrodor: not yet
[17:45] <ross_> in the latest version of ubuntu, where is the recycling bin located?
[17:45] <UBUNTUVISTA> hi
[17:45] <Halitech> warinthepocket, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg pretty much only does the keyboard now
[17:46] <UBUNTUVISTA> kenosethe
[17:46] <quickhand> So, anyone can help?  eee t91, video driver problems?
[17:46] <warinthepocket> hmm
[17:46] <candrodor> krishmish: I'm not sure if MicBoost will sort it or not, it's worth trying though, I think.  That's all.  Did you find it?
[17:46] <BillGates4ever> sidewalk: for xfs try sudo apt-get install xfsprogs then try gparted again
[17:46] <krishmish> candrodor: no...it isnt working here
[17:47] <Um_cara_qualquer> Is there a .kgb compressor for linux?
[17:47] <krishmish> candrodor: in fact , skype hung up
[17:47] <candrodor> I don't know then, I'm sorry.
[17:47] <Ffunk74> Hello. I have upgraded my xubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10. I found that process named gnome-volume-control-pulse eated 50% of processor time. But gnome-volume-control-pulse are not in the list of installed packages (aptitude did not find it), so I can't remove it.

[17:49] <sobersabre> I have pasted this sources.list:http://paste.ubuntu.com/233276/
[17:49] <BillGates4ever> Agat0n: what generation ipod you have ? i know for quite a few you have to jail break them.
[17:49] <sobersabre> when running aptitude update, I am getting no errors.

[17:51] <sobersabre> militant: WHY ?! (I think I already know)
[17:51] <Agat0n> BillGates4ever: I have a ipod video, 80gb black
[17:51] <Zoffix> Halitech, I found it; avisplit is in ``transcode'' package.
[17:51] <militant> sobersabre: i'm a bit addled at the moment (sweetie is here) but it's your apt sources list
[17:52] <Agat0n> I've been tryin everything (which I can think of)
[17:52] <Halitech> Zoffix, ok, I have that installed :)
[17:52] <Bookman> I'm rather desperate here.  I cannot print a multipage pdf document.....
[17:52] <sobersabre> militant: thanks, enjoy the sweets... I'm bewildered.
[17:52] <dansa> hehe
[17:52] <militant> sobersabre: /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:52] <martijn81> how do i mount an img with fuseiso and read the contents as user from /media/iso ?
[17:52] <dansa> hey, what was that channel called ubuntu-$something where peopled talked about mathematics, logic, physics, philosophy, et cetera? i forgot
[17:53] <sobersabre> militant: I'm looking at it as "the goat at the new gate"
[17:53] <sobersabre> martijn81: you don't.
[17:53] <Halitech> !ot > dansa
[17:53] <sobersabre>  /media is for root user to write.
[17:54] <martijn81> sobersabre: and if i mount it in my home directory it would work?
[17:54] <Bookman> Is printing yet another weak spot for Linux maybe?
[17:54] <militant> sobersabre: huh?  all i know is your /etc/apt/sources.list or one of the others in that dir are pointing at the install disk instead of the network repos
[17:54] <darthanubis> lol
[17:54] <dansa> Halitech: i think that is right; thanks much!
[17:54] <Halitech> dansa, np
[17:54] <_Lucretia_> my upgrade from 8.04 -> 8.10 failed on updata-manager, it then stated that the upgrade will be aborted (this was at the last steps), I've tried to update the update-manager, but apt says it's the latest version
[17:55] <militant> i'm out gl :)
[17:55] <Agat0n> BillGates4ever: I'm tryin now again and when tryin to synconize it says "can't find the ipod firewire id"
[17:55] <dansa> hey, gnu ubuntu is lead by a company, right?
[17:55] <Agat0n> BillGates4ever: Do you know anythin about this? It bugs the heck out of me
[17:56] <bening> kanonikal?
[17:56] <BillGates4ever> Agat0n: I had an ipod touch ( not supported)  , any try Rhythmbox -> http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/03/how-to-manage-your-ipod-using-rhythmbox-in-ubuntu/
[17:56] <Agat0n> BillGates4ever: I'll give that a try, thanks
[17:56] <Halitech> dansa, its not gnu ubuntu, just ubuntu and yes, it is 'owned' by canocal
[17:56] <Bookman> Ok, no worries I'll boot into xp to get my work done.
[17:56] <k0d3r> hi  ;)

[17:57] <mrb_> hey anybody knows how i can put emerald my default window manager as to run i have to run emerald --replace each time ?
[17:57] <Halitech> Akranis, thanks, can never get the spelling right on that :)
[17:57] <Akranis> :P
[17:58] <candrodor> Bookman: I'd love to know whether printing's a weak spot or not, but as it is, I can't get it to work.  trying to get a printer working by SAMBA, but it needs a driver, which I can't get because it's on a CD and I can't get the CD drive showing.  linux<3 hehe
[17:58] <Blooper> why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed?
[17:58] <dansa> Halitech: what's canocal's take on the fsf stand that systems shouldnt include proprietary software?
[17:58] <Akranis> Does anyone here use blender and has gotten it to work alongside Compiz?
[17:58] <Blooper> why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed?
[17:58] <Blooper> why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed?
[17:58] <Blooper> why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed?
[17:58] <FloodBot1> Blooper: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:58] <Halitech> Blooper, /media is usually for removable drives
[17:58] <Blooper> and i have 4 devices in
[17:59] <candrodor> Do CDs count as removable?
[17:59] <Halitech> dansa, they don't include any for legal reasons
[17:59] <warinthepocket> :P
[17:59] <_Lucretia_> so, will i be able to reboot or not?
[17:59] <Blooper> they open with autoplay but wont appear in the folder
[17:59] <Halitech> Blooper, they could be going into /mnt
[17:59] <Blooper> ??
[17:59] <Bookman> candrodor: yeah, seems to be a weak spot....
[17:59] <warinthepocket> Blooper: media can be mounted anywhere on the system :P
[18:00] <Bookman> candrodor: I got my work done on an xp machine.
[18:00] <Blooper> but all my drives have been there before but now cannot be found
[18:00] <warinthepocket> Blooper: df -h
[18:00] <Ravahan> Okay, so I have the repository link for Gens/GS, and I have Software Sources up, but when I click on Add and paste it into the list of Third Party apps, the only option I get is "Cancel".  I'm sure I'm leaving out something that's common sense to a normal Linux user here.... Is this correct or should I be adding something before or after?   http://gs_server.gerbilsoft.ddns.info/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gens.git;a=summary
[18:01] <warinthepocket> Blooper: are the volumes mounted?
[18:01] <Blooper> yes
[18:01] <warinthepocket> Blooper: where are they mounted to?
[18:01] <mrb_> anyone with emerald experience on Ubuntu 9.04 ?
[18:01] <darthanubis> Ravahan: deb http://
[18:01] <candrodor> Do you need ot create the folder which you're mounting to in advance or does it get created and removed as it mounts/umounts?
[18:02] <warinthepocket> candrodor: the folder has to exist
[18:02] <darthanubis> candrodor: create the folder aka mount point
[18:02] <Ravahan> darthanubis: Okay, I'll try that again here.  Anything supposed to go on the end?
[18:02] <candrodor> So maybe my problem with the CD drive not showing is that there aren't any folders in /mnt or /media to be mounted to?
[18:02] <darthanubis> take a look at /etc/apt/source.lists for the correct format
[18:04] <Ravahan> darthanubis: Alright, I stuck a little text on the end and it'll let me add it.  Let me see if it actually functions.
[18:04] <wildc4rd> evening all
[18:04] <Seracht> hi anyone know what extended ACLs are
[18:04] <magg> hi, i have a big problem, i need your help!!!
[18:04] <warinthepocket> candrodor: you can mount to /mnt or /media
[18:05] <Agat0n> BillGates4ever: Seems to be the same problem.. it just searches but finds nothin
[18:05] <candrodor> Only, the folders are there, but I didn't see them earlier.  Hm.  I'm just confused.
[18:05] <Halitech> warinthepocket, actually you can mount anywhere, I have 2 drives mounted in my home folder
[18:06] <Agat0n> Can I format my ipod in ubuntu?
[18:06] <rad182> hi anyone here familiar with ssh tunneling?
[18:06] <coz_> rad182,  if not here  try  #linux   channel :)
[18:06] <rad182> okay :D
[18:06] <magg> my ubuntu show NO INIT FOUND. TRY PASSING INIT=BOOTARG. ANY IDEA??
[18:07] <RandomTime> Agat0n: http://www.rockbox.org/
[18:07] <masterkoppa> Agat0n: Do you mean restore?
[18:07] <darthanubis> magg: reinstall
[18:07] <BillGates4ever> Agat0n: wish i could help you more , you could try mounting it manualy but quite complicated.
[18:07] <sobersabre> I'm getting this when running apt-get update: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[18:07] <magg> if i reinstall, my programs will lose??
[18:08] <Agat0n> masterkoppa: Yeah, set it to 0
[18:08] <Stupendoussteve> Can someone tell me a quick way to strip the filepath from find results? I only want the filename, not the full path
[18:08] <sobersabre> is there no i386 packages on the main archive of canonical ?1
[18:08] <BillGates4ever> Agat0n: run dmesg | tail when you connnect it and paste bin the results for me.
[18:08] <Halitech> magg, yes
[18:08] <masterkoppa> Agaton: Well you need iTunes to do that and you can't run itunes under wine.
[18:09] <candrodor> How can I tell if there is a floppy disk being read and mounted to /media/floppy or not, given it may well be an empty disk?
[18:09] <jatt> hi, which is the Super Key? Compiz is configured on my laptop to use the Super Key to start the Expo effect.
[18:09] <Agat0n> masterkoppa: I can use me gals computer and reformat it
[18:09] <magg> sorry, its the unique solution??
[18:09] <th0r> candrodor: if it is mounted it will show up in the mount command
[18:09] <Stupendoussteve> You can also do it with VirtualBox if you have a Windows disc
[18:09] <masterkoppa> Agat0n: If it's windows or mac, yeah
[18:09] <Agat0n> Aight
[18:10] <masterkoppa> Agat0n: For the future you might want to search in the forums for a way to do this with Virtual Box
[18:10] <fixje> jatt: it's the windows key (on a windows keyboard)
[18:10] <Agat0n> masterkoppa: Sure, I'm havin a lg x110.. It's to slow for a virtualbox..
[18:10] <durt> jatt, super is one of the keys with a logo
[18:11] <kfan> when playing wop i can be in game for like 2-5 mins and ubuntu shuts down any suffestions?
[18:11] <Ravahan> Well, I'm not sure what I screwed up but Synaptic keeps telling me its already running so  I'm going to restart Ubuntu here.
[18:11] <jatt> durt: fixje: thanks you are right it's the Windows key :)
[18:12] <Agat0n> fat32 it should be, right?
[18:12] <candrodor> Thanks th0r!  Looks like the only removable thing I can get linux to pick up at the moment is my ipod.  funsies.
[18:13] <kfan> i have no sound on dv41155se
[18:13] <insomen4o> kfan: check linlap, i've fixed my sound from there
[18:13] <koltroll> hey guys. so my wifi card not showing when typing lspci or dmesg after it froze going into suspend mode has kinda been solved. I can activate the wlan card through bios. THO every time I turn off the computer and start it again the wlan card is automatically disabled again.
[18:13] <koltroll> Any ideas on how to solve this ?
[18:14] <zeno_> is there a command that copies the contents of a file to the clipboard?
[18:15] <JPSman> Hi, does wubi work with kubuntu?
[18:15] <pagoda> how do i get compiz working in jaunty?  i have a dell inspiron e1705
[18:16] <penyox41> mlm all
[18:17] <w_> há usuários de ubuntu linux  do brasil online agora?
[18:17] <magg> Hi, somebody can suggest me a good tutorial resource for learn to manage Linux??
[18:17] <jcastro> JPSman, yes, there's a dropdown box that let's you choose kubuntu, xubuntu, etc.
[18:18] <silv3r_m00n> in shell how to execute a command and return immediately
[18:18] <silv3r_m00n> ?
[18:18] <error404notfound> can someone install with this: http://pastebin.com/m717e3231
[18:18] <th0r> silv3r_m00n: if you add an ampersand (&) at the end of the command you will get the prompt immediately, but the command will continue in the background until completion
[18:19] <silv3r_m00n> fine
[18:20] <Agat0n> I really hope this works, I'm so tired of iTunes and windows but I can't live without my ipod..
[18:20] <mre_> error404notfound, hmm try -xvvf IP-Country-2.26.tar , is the file there ?
[18:21] <gajop> any smart way of seeing how your http server looks from the outside world?
[18:21] <agoole> gajop: point your browser to it ?
[18:21] <mre_> Agat0n,  have you tried mounting manualy ?
[18:22] <th0r> gajop: you can open firefox and type 'localhost'
[18:22] <v4vijayakumar1> I am using ev-do wireless USB dongle (from, ZTE) for my internet connection. in a forum, I read that "some versions of Ubuntu do not perform as well with wireless (signal strength wise)." is it true ?!
[18:22] <Agat0n> mre_: Yes, but I'm formating my ipod on me gals computer now
[18:22] <JPSman> jcastro, well I already downloaded the kubuntu ISO and would like to use that for my install instead of having wubi download an entire other copy of kubuntu
[18:22] <Agat0n> And I'll give it a go again
[18:22] <gajop> th0r, i'm aware, i was wondering about permissions and such
[18:22] <th0r> gajop: that should be the same server access the rest of the world gets
[18:22] <Agat0n> Format: Windows (Should be like that, rite?)
[18:23] <th0r> gajop: you can also address your public ip...it will go out to your isp and then come back in
[18:23] <martijn81> hi i can't get fuseiso to work on my own home directory, anynone can help please?
[18:23] <martijn81> $ ls -ltr
[18:23] <martijn81> ls: kan geen toegang krijgen tot iso: Toegang geweigerd
[18:23] <martijn81> totaal 698676
[18:23] <martijn81> d?????????  ? ?       ?               ?                ? iso
[18:23] <FloodBot1> martijn81: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:23] <gajop> th0r, no, it won't, you usually can't access your ip if you're behind a router, at least i never managed to do it
[18:24] <Halitech> gajop, I know alot of people say they can't but it has always worked for me
[18:24] <th0r> gajop: I used to do it all the time...your default route should take the packet out, then the isp should reroute it back to you
[18:24] <XLV> gajop, use some proxy
[18:24] <HardDisk> tor
[18:24] <gajop> hm, ye, ok, thanks
[18:25] <XLV> yeah, tor.. also usually most ISPs got some proxy set up
[18:25] <kfan> anyone know why my computer would just shut down after being in world of padman for like 5 mins??
[18:25] <jai_> hi
[18:25] <jai_> hi
[18:25] <th0r> martijn81: what command are you using to mount the iso?
[18:25] <nsahoo> is there a utility to measure cpu speed ? Not from /proc/cpuinfo or from dmesg.
[18:25] <th0r> kfan: it didn't like the game?
[18:25] <etrcap> h
[18:25] <kfan> lol
[18:26] <Halitech> kfan, trying to tell you to do some work instead? :O
[18:26] <ctmjr> kfan: is it a laptop?
[18:26] <sobersabre> is there a utility to create automagically sources.list file ? like source-o-matic once used to do ?
[18:26] <kfan> yea
[18:26] <kfan> :( no work PADMAN lol
[18:26] <Halitech> nsahoo, system load monitor?
[18:26] <kfan> yes its a dv41155se
[18:26] <darthanubis> nsahoo: rt-click the panel and add the cpufreq applet. Anytime you are looking for an app to do X, search synaptic is the fastest and easiest way besides searching google
[18:26] <th0r> nsahoo: there are several, but I don't know where they get the info from...conky, gkrellm, and the gnome panel applet come to mind
[18:27] <martijn81> th0r: i use this: $ sudo fuseiso /path/to/img ~/iso
[18:27] <XLV> nsahoo, whats wrong with /proc/cpuinfo? ksensors got an applet for cpu speed, i bet gnome applets exist too for it
[18:27] <nsahoo> darthanubis: that one just reads prod/cpuinfo
[18:27] <mre_> hmm kfan run world of padman from terminal and grep to a fille eg   padman > some file.
[18:27] <ctmjr> kfan: it is probably overheating and shutting down to protect itself
[18:28] <darthanubis> nsahoo: of course, what do you mean "measure"?
[18:28] <th0r> martijn81: and you have a folder named iso in your home dir (and it should be owned by root:root)
[18:28] <XLV> nsahoo, but i bet all those read /proc/cpuinfo
[18:28] <nsahoo> darthanubis: run something and see how fast it runs
[18:28] <darthanubis> nsahoo: ok, that is called a benchmark
[18:28] <darthanubis> and again, search synaptic
[18:28] <kfan> will try... i would say it was over heating but i have a big house fan blowing on it and pc is cold lol
[18:28] <nsahoo> XLV: I think /proc/cpuinfo is wrong in the case of overclocked systems
[18:29] <martijn81> th0r: both is the case
[18:29] <th0r> martijn81: and you don't need sudo in the command...you should be able to mount it using your permissions. Using sudo forces it to try to mount to /root/iso
[18:29] <XLV> nsahoo, if it reads cpu id string, surely
[18:29] <nsahoo> darthanubis: ya .. sorry .. I am looking for a benchmark tool . I think at the boot time something benchmarks the cpu and outputs the speed , no?
[18:29] <XLV> nsahoo, try lshw
[18:29] <darthanubis> no
[18:29] <nsahoo> XLV: aha
[18:30] <nsahoo> darthanubis: no .. ? dmesg prints a Mhz speed
[18:30] <darthanubis> dmesg is not outputting any kind of BENCHMARK
[18:30] <th0r> martijn81: oh yeah...don't use ~...use /home/<user>
[18:31] <linduxed> need help with this http://tinyurl.com/luw5ve
[18:31] <nsahoo> darthanubis: prints [    0.000000] Fast TSC calibration using PIT
[18:31] <nsahoo> [    0.000000] Detected 2992.320 MHz processor.
[18:32] <unko> can someone help me? i can't enable compiz at all for some reason. the only reason i think it could have stopped working is, i made a guest account and removed the password something might have gone wrong. how do i re enable compiz & emerald
[18:32] <darthanubis> nsahoo: so what, that is NOT a benchmark
[18:33] <martijn81> th0r: this worked!! thanks a lot man
[18:33] <Edson`> What's better? A live CD or the Wubit installer?
[18:33] <nsahoo> darthanubis: so, is it reading off of something?
[18:33] <darthanubis> ugh
[18:33] <Edson`> Wubi*
[18:34] <leleobhz> how can i tell to apt do not attempt to upgrade a specific package
[18:34] <leleobhz> ?
[18:34] <Halitech> Edson`, depends, if you want to save settings, wubi is better, if you just want to try it out, the cd is faster to try, true install is the best imo
[18:35] <darthanubis> leleobhz: read how to use synaptic
[18:35] <Edson`> true install?
[18:35] <HentaiCr1zy> cd ./config
[18:35] <Halitech> Edson`, actually creating a partition and installing on native ext3
[18:35] <darthanubis> Edson`: install to hard drive=true install
[18:35] <Edson`> ah
[18:35] <Edson`> doesn't wubi do that?
[18:35] <fixje> leleobhz: aptitude hold <packagename>
[18:36] <Halitech> darthanubis, technically wubi would be a true install under that definition
[18:36] <darthanubis> if it did we would have not differentiated
[18:36] <leleobhz> fixje: oh, aptitude can manage this? dunno
[18:36] <leleobhz> very nice!
[18:36] <grkblood13> is therea  program thatll let you record your screen?
[18:36] <darthanubis> wubi is a joke of an install, an not considered a full install
[18:37] <darthanubis> installing linux INSIDE of windows is LAME
[18:37] <Halitech> Edson`, technically it does install but it runs on a loop mounted file
[18:37] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> lol
[18:37] <darthanubis> and hence your install would be LAME
[18:37] <fixje> leleobhz: yes, but you may never use apt after that, because it doesn't know that the package is blocked
[18:37] <darthanubis> but it is a nice option for the timid and lazy
[18:37] <leleobhz> fixje: ive the idea of use apt.conf
[18:37] <leleobhz> or apt pinning
[18:37] <Edson`> grkblood13: gtk-recordmydesktop
[18:37] <leleobhz> but i dont know how to do
[18:37] <Edson`> something along those lines
[18:37] <Halitech> darthanubis, and those who don't know the difference
[18:37] <th0r> fixje: will synaptic recognize the hold?
[18:38] <fixje> leleobhz: never tried that because i just use aptitude
[18:38] <unko> can someone please help me? i can't get compiz working anymore.
[18:38] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> is there any real benifit from using kbuntu or any of those other bunut OS over Ubuntu jaunty
[18:38] <fixje> th0r: if synaptic is just a graphical frontend for aptitude, yes.
[18:38] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> ?
[18:38] <darthanubis> leleobhz: if you'd followed my advise you'd be done by now
[18:38] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> re install it
[18:38] <fixje> but i don't know if it is
[18:38] <Edson`> But the wubi install is Ubuntu right? not some imitation or a 'demo?'
[18:38] <leleobhz> fixje: worked like a glove, but damn gnome update manager is borring me
[18:38] <XLV> darthanubis, excluding the fact it should be quite slower, it has full access to all hw.. its not THAT lame
[18:38] <darthanubis> HentaiCrazyAdmin: absolutely NOT
[18:38] <leleobhz> darthanubis: ?
[18:39] <Halitech> HentaiCrazyAdmin, the DE is just a frontend so its just a personal preference
[18:39] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> lame
[18:39] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> ohh
[18:39] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> thanks
[18:39] <HentaiCrazyAdmin> i'm very use to ubuntu now maybe I'll put it on my net book
[18:39] <Halitech> Edson`, yes, it is a full install, just doesn't have the full speed advantage of running on ext3
[18:40] <darthanubis> full install without the full speed, lol
[18:40] <darthanubis> yeah, that full
[18:40]  * darthanubis rolls eyes
[18:40] <leleobhz> o.0
[18:40]  * leleobhz see puritans here
[18:40] <darthanubis> full of crap
[18:40] <Edson`> Ah so it's just a bit slower
[18:41] <leleobhz> think: linux clains to be a versatile system
[18:41] <darthanubis> of course
[18:41] <leleobhz> so why cannot i use this?
[18:41] <darthanubis> it aint NATIVE install
[18:41] <Halitech> darthanubis, its not a demo or limited in anyway (so I've read anyway) so it technically would be a full install
[18:41] <darthanubis> ok "full install" but not native
[18:41] <darthanubis> hence a waste of time
[18:41] <darthanubis> speed
[18:41] <darthanubis> and space
[18:41] <th0r> not l33t
[18:41] <FloodBot1> darthanubis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:42] <pacific-blue> from my user account "crontab -e" puts me into a new file with vi that I can not save. How do I get around this and who's the idiot who has not fixed this?
[18:42] <Halitech> darthanubis, I agree, native installs are better but if someone didn't think it was a good idea for newbies, they wouldn't have done it
[18:43] <darthanubis> Halitech: the idea was to get windows users
[18:43] <th0r> pacific-blue: I always  just create a txt file in ~ and then read it into cron with crontab
[18:43] <darthanubis> who could not follow directions enough to reboot and run the live cd. Or too lame to read the directions for a dualboot
[18:44] <Halitech> darthanubis, I know the idea behind it, just don't think its a good idea in my mind but with the messes I've seen it create lately, I think they should drop it
[18:44] <mds1> hi all.  How can I remove the password for my ssh-key from ubuntus/gnomes cache??
[18:44] <darthanubis> matter of fact, no directions are required these days for dual boot
[18:44] <darthanubis> rm ~/.ssh
[18:44] <epistax> Hey guys my wireless works fine but I was wondering if someone could recommend any apps to help diagnose issues when they occur, such as a weak signal. I can't find anything on synaptic.
[18:45] <Ravahan> I have been messing around on Ubuntu jaunty 64 bit trying to get getlibs to install Gens/GS (32 bit Sega emulator) without much success.  Any idea what I could've screwed up that would cause update manager to hang and/or report there's another instance of Synaptic running?
[18:45] <pacific-blue> th0r: ok, but this should really be fixed. It's never good when an application leads you down a broken path.
[18:45] <darthanubis> a quick google search would answer 99.9% of these questions
[18:45] <ctmjr> !google | darthanubis
[18:45] <Halitech> darthanubis, but someone decided it wouldn't be nice to tell new users to RTFM
[18:45] <JPSman> I uninstalled wubi in windows and the faux grub on system startup is still there
[18:45] <mds1> nope. I rm my id_dsa file but I can still connnect with ssh-server that requires the key!
[18:45] <JPSman> any help?
[18:46] <DreadPirateBob> I'm having issues running vmware server on my jaunty kubuntu system.  When the system boots, the services are started, but if I start or resume a VM, the bridged network adapter doesn't work.  If I restart the vmware service (maybe after I log in?), then the vms have networking.
[18:46] <EDinNY> how does Evolution know which apps to open when it gets an attachment?
[18:46] <DreadPirateBob> NetworkManager?
[18:46] <darthanubis> ctmjr: relax, If you've been paying attention I have not told anyone anything but the answers to their questions.  That is the best advise to give ANYONE in ANY field of endeavor
[18:48] <_marcel> hello
[18:48] <th0r> course it could be that for many here english is a second language and they can't make heads or tails out of google's answers
[18:48] <EDinNY> unfortunately much docs are written to be read by people who already know the answer
[18:48] <darthanubis> Because AFTER RTFM, and a google search we'd have a better pool of questions to field
[18:48] <darthanubis> anyway I digress
[18:48] <_marcel>
[18:48] <_marcel> hello, I wonder which is more secure the ubuntu or fedora.
[18:48] <darthanubis> EDinNY: wrong
[18:48] <_marcel> please
[18:49] <JPSman> How do I delete wubi's grub??
[18:49] <th0r> _marcel: not an answerable question
[18:49] <darthanubis> _marcel: which everone has the better sysadmin
[18:49] <darthanubis> ever one
[18:49] <Halitech> _marcel, depends on who and how they set things up, if they are stupid the system isn't going to matter
[18:49] <EDinNY> grub uninstall?
[18:49] <_marcel> oh
[18:50] <_marcel> installed ubuntu 9.04
[18:50] <kfan> it didnt save the log when i launched padman cuz it shutdown :(
[18:50] <_marcel> my desktop
[18:50] <_marcel> in my nootbook installed fedora 11
[18:50] <_marcel> ubuntu and fedora very good
[18:50] <JPSman> EDinNY - and what is that?  a windows application?
[18:50] <insta1> hey all ... i've got 9.04 installed on a laptop, and networkmanager says "wireless is disabled" ... but iwconfig and lspci both see and identify the card.  ideas?
[18:50] <Halitech> _marcel, if you go with the defaults and don't go enabling root and use a secure password, you should be fine with either
[18:50] <Ravahan> I have been messing around on Ubuntu jaunty 64 bit trying to get getlibs to install Gens/GS (32 bit Sega emulator) without much success.  Any idea what I could've screwed up that would cause update manager to hang and/or report there's another instance of Synaptic running?
[18:51] <JPSman> EDinNY - I uninstalled wubi from windows, but the grub on system start up is still there asking if I want ubuntu or windows
[18:51] <JPSman> how do I rembove this
[18:51] <_marcel> ok
[18:51] <kfan> can somone chat me if they can help  me with world of padman and my computer shutting down?
[18:51] <_marcel>
[18:51] <_marcel> i'ma fan of both
[18:52] <epistax> my cat's litter box keeps getting stuff in it. what can I do about it.
[18:52] <ethereality> How do I type "extra" characters like the accented 'i' in 'gracias', or the tilde-n as in "espanol"? And what is the correct name for such characters?
[18:52] <th0r> epistax: install redhat
[18:52] <Halitech> epistax, get rid of the cat
[18:52] <legend2440> epistax: sudo apt-get clean it
[18:52] <Ravahan> JPSman: Are you trying to just make it boot directly to windows?
[18:53] <epistax> people are apparently more experts on cats than wireless networks here :-P
[18:53] <Ravahan> JPSman: Sorry, I'm just catching the end there.
[18:53] <kfan> sudo rmdir litterbox
[18:53] <epistax> damn you wifi radar. you're two feed from the router.
[18:53] <JPSman> Ravahan, yes, without the faux grub that wubi installs.  Where does it do this BTW?
[18:53] <legend2440> sudo rm -rf cat
[18:53] <kfan> lol
[18:54] <JPSman> Ravahan, thank you for resonding
[18:54] <EDinNY> what sets file associations in Evo?  Using Evolution in Kubuntu and it does not know what to open.  Do I need to install ubunut-destop to get it?
[18:54] <Ravahan> JPSman: If you want it to automaticly boot into windows, its quite easy to overwrite Grub.  Do you have your windows disk?
[18:54] <Agat0n> I believe this time my ipod will work
[18:54] <Ravahan> JPSman: No problem.  I'm actually here looking for answers too.  #ubuntu has been great to me over this last week helping me get used to the OS.
[18:54] <dads> why do I have 5 boot entries for one install of ubuntu??  2.6.28-11- generic and same recovery and....  2.6.28-13- generic and recovery and...  memtest??  I only need one ubuntu and one xp on boot
[18:55] <JPSman> Ravahan somewhere around here.  But why would I need a windows disk?  shouldn't wubi be completly removed under the control panel?  where does this grub install to?
[18:55] <Ravahan> Grub takes the place of the Master Boot Record
[18:56] <th0r> dads: when the system upgrades the kernel it keeps the older versions available in case something goes wrong with the new version
[18:56] <Ravahan> sorry, that was directed at JPSman
[18:56] <JPSman> Ravahan, how can I edit this in windows?
[18:56] <dads> I have to leave.. can someone email me a way to remove the older kernels<EMAIL_ADDRESS>thanks
[18:56] <ethereality> How do I type "extra" characters like the accented 'i' in 'gracias', or the tilde-n as in "espanol"? And what is the correct name for such characters?
[18:56] <JPSman> Ravahan, safely
[18:56] <Ravahan> JPSman: Directly from Windows, I'm not sure, but simply running... I think its "fixmbr" from the recovery console will re-write the mbr
[18:57] <Ravahan> JPSman: Let me confirm that real quick, eh?
[18:57] <JPSman> Ravahan, please do and thank you :OD
[18:57] <Agat0n> brb lads
[18:57] <EDinNY> jpsman, what version of Win do you have?
[18:58] <ctmjr> dads: putting your e-maIl address in a room with 1400+ people is not a good idea
[18:58] <_marcel> exists channel Ubuntu from brazil?
[18:59] <JPSman> EDinNY: XP
[18:59] <ctmjr> !br | _marcel
[18:59] <th0r> ctmjr: I just figured he was lonely
[18:59] <EDinNY> boot your install disk to a dos prompt and type fixmbr
[18:59] <_marcel> ok thanks
[19:00] <ethereality> Is there an easier way to type characters like "í" than to hold down Ctrl+Shift and type "u00ed"?
[19:00] <ctmjr> th0r: not for long
[19:00] <candrodor> What does fixmbr do exactly?
[19:00] <legend2440> dads: leave your home address and someone will come over and do it while your away
[19:00] <th0r> candrodor: it fixes the mbr
[19:00] <candrodor> Put in a Windows Boot Loader?
[19:00] <JPSman> EDinNY, is that the only way to edit the MBR?
[19:00] <Halitech> candrodor, it repairs the windows boot loader
[19:00] <EDinNY> fixes Master Boot Record (MBR)
[19:00] <Ravahan> JPSman: fixmbr will do the trick.  You can specify additional information with it, but its not really necessary.  That command will overwrite the boot sector of the hard drive
[19:00] <candrodor> So if there isn't a windows boot loader in there in the first place, it won't work?
[19:01] <EDinNY> jpsman, you can dd an MBR to the beginning of your hard drive
[19:01] <izzy> Excuse me. How would one make a launcher on the desktop which would point to internal drives?
[19:01] <Ravahan> JPSman: Which is done to clear out boot sector viruses, and will also overwrite grub (which is the boot loader for ubuntu)
[19:01] <EDinNY> jpsman, when you installed grub it made a backup of your MBR.  If you still had Linux installed you could uninstall grub which would writ it back
[19:01] <th0r> izzy: open nautilus (the file manager) and drag the drive icons to the desktop?
[19:02] <datta> did anyone face problem with the fact that i have the gnome panels crashing a lot of times when i first boot up the desktop?
[19:02] <Ravahan> JPSman: The next time you boot your PC, it should go directly to your windows install.
[19:02] <Ravahan> EDinNY: That's really cool, I didn't know grub did that.
[19:02] <izzy> th0r: I tried that it tried to copy the whole drive.
[19:02] <JPSman> EDinNY, no I uninstalled wubi from windows add/remove.  Well, thing is i'd like to install kubuntu now and the old grub is still there
[19:02] <ohmygawd> is there a way of removing dead files in Banshee... as in songs that don't link to anywhere
[19:02] <datta> it didn't happen in any other types of versions but now in 9.04 i am facing this problem, i have the default clearlook theme
[19:03] <JPSman> so I supposed i'll have to fixmbr before I can write another grub?
[19:03] <om26er> plz help me there is no windows picker applet in the netbook remix
[19:03] <datta> and i use the dell 530N desktop which comes with preinstalled ubuntu 8.04 but i upgraded to 9.04
[19:03] <EDinNY> I told you 3 ways to fix it.  This is multiple choice.  choose
[19:03] <th0r> izzy: try right click on the folder you want and choose 'create shortcut'
[19:03] <th0r> izzy: I use xfce and am working from memory
[19:04] <th0r> izzy: VERY volatile memory
[19:04] <izzy> th0r: Not trying for a folder. Trying to put my internal drive and Cd on my desktop as icons.
[19:04] <om26er> i cannot see the panel in unr
[19:04] <legend2440> izzy:  in terminal type  gconf-editor   browse to   /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible   put check mark
[19:04] <izzy> th0r: I appreciate you trying to help. Thank you.
[19:05] <th0r> izzy: the hard drive is / and the cd should be /media/cdrom
[19:05] <th0r> izzy: sometimes the internal drive is identified as 'file system'
[19:05] <vaib> I have a desktop and a laptop, i don't want to update 2 times from mirrors. I tried to look at apt-cacher-ng and apt-proxy but they use separate cache than apt's cache. Can somebody help ?
[19:06] <vaib>  i meant I have this config currently, desktop_source:deb_mirror, desktop runs cacher, laptops_mirror:desktop_cacher  , but this config does download 2 times
[19:06] <th0r> izzy: (starting gnome in the vm...give me a sec)
[19:06] <izzy> Th0r: The only thing that confounds me about linux is this.
[19:06] <th0r> izzy: and the answer is...........
[19:06] <Ravahan> Alright, so my synaptic hangup just resolved, it looks like.  It threw a giant list of what looks like all my repositories at me and said it couldn't download the repository indexes.  Should I just reinstall Ubuntu again?  It didn't start hanging up until I tried to add a repository for Gens/GS, but that repository has been removed via Software Sources.  Does anyone have any ideas that may be helpful whatsoever?
[19:07] <izzy> Nope.
[19:07] <th0r> izzy: (slow vm)
[19:07] <izzy> Th0r: Not working.
[19:07] <Halitech> Ravahan, did you reload after making the change to the repo?
[19:07] <scream> How do I move the panel from my left monitor, to my right monitor?
[19:08] <Ravahan> Halitech, I tried, but it kept either hanging up or giving me an error about Synaptic already running.  I'm kind of nervous to open it again because it took like 20 mins to time out.
[19:08] <th0r> izzy: yeah...not working for me either. A project to fill the day <smile>
[19:08] <Ravahan> Halitech: Give it a whirl you think?
[19:08] <Halitech> Ravahan, ok, open a terminal and run sudo aptitude update
[19:08] <th0r> izzy: give me a minute...I'll get it <smile>
[19:08] <kfan> hey mre
[19:08] <izzy> th0r: Thank you.
[19:08] <Ravahan> Halitech: Alrighty, thanks so much for responding.
[19:09] <th0r> izzy: got it
[19:09] <th0r> izzy: right click on the desktop and choose Create Launcher
[19:10] <th0r> izzy: for Type choose location
[19:10] <Ravahan> Halitech: Okay, it returned a bunch of error "404 Not Found"s
[19:10] <kebomix> i made swap partition and i want it to swap on automatically , how !
[19:10] <Halitech> Ravahan, ok, use pastebin and give us the results of cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:10] <th0r> izzy: for name put Hard Drive, and for location put /
[19:10] <th0r> izzy: click on the icon and find one you like
[19:10] <th0r> izzy: and click ok.
[19:11] <kfan> hey mre u there
[19:11] <th0r> izzy: the cd location should be /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom0
[19:11] <aboleth> wow

[19:12] <brewmaster> sound works fine in gnome
[19:12] <brewmaster> any ideas?

[19:12] <kebomix>  i made swap partition and i want it to swap on automatically , how !
[19:12] <Ravahan> Halitech, No problem mate, take your time.
[19:13] <th0r> aboleth: you are going to find it hard to locate someone with experience with sdl
[19:13] <izzy> Th0r: VB is cool. :)

[19:14] <Cydell> the .img file for ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix gives a kernel panic error when I try to boot live from a usb.
[19:14] <Cydell> anyone else seen this?
[19:15] <Halitech> Ravahan, I'm not sure (hopefully someone else will jump in here) but I don't think it should have -i386 in the deb source lists
[19:15] <Ravahan> Halitech, I was messing around with getlibs earlier trying to get a stupid emulator to run
[19:15] <acdspit00> anyone know whats safe to remove from startup
[19:15] <Ravahan> Halitech, I've not had a lot of luck getting anything 32 bit to run here.  Its a bit frustrating
[19:16] <acdspit00> as well as what service are safe to stop?
[19:16] <Halitech> Ravahan, are you running 64bit?
[19:16] <Ravahan> Halitech, Yessir
[19:16] <Cydell> has anyone installed ubuntu netbook on a mini 9 that can help me?
[19:16] <Halitech> Ravahan, then definately shouldn't have anything -i386 in there
[19:16] <Ravahan> Halitech, I have no idea how it got there lol
[19:17] <Ravahan> Halitech, Maybe a result of getlibs installation?
[19:17] <Halitech> Ravahan, the repos work if you look http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/
[19:17] <Halitech> Ravahan, could be
[19:18] <gangil> how can I stop the update notifier to stop from launching at start up?
[19:18] <Ravahan> Halitech, Yeah, that link opened up
[19:18] <Halitech> Ravahan, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove all the -i386 and then save the file and then run sudo apt-get update again
[19:18] <sobersabre> can somebody post their apt's sources.list ?
[19:18] <Ravahan> Halitech: Sounds like a plan.  Give me a min to run that
[19:18] <Ravahan> Halitech: What's gksudo do, btw?
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> sobersabre: http://pastebin.com/f157449f8
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> sobersabre: for jaunty
[19:19] <Halitech> sobersabre, I would but I don't think the debian list would do much good :)
[19:19] <th0r> gangil: uninstall update-notifier
[19:19] <Halitech> Ravahan, gksudo is the proper way to run sudo for a graphical app
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Ravahan: its for running gui apps with elevated priveledges, sudo for gui apps is incorect and can break ownerships
[19:20] <kfan> hey who was helping me with padman ??/
[19:20] <Ravahan> Aaah, ok
[19:20] <Halitech> !gksudo | Ravahan
[19:21] <hellogen> hi all
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Ravahan: so when you see sudo gedit, it is wrong, use gksudo gedit. kde has kdesudo
[19:21] <gangil> thanks th0r
[19:23] <Ravahan> ActionParsnip: Good to know.  See, this is why #ubuntu is great for this kind of thing.  I actually ran sudo gedit yesterday trying to fix something
[19:23] <datta> please can anyone tell me if they faced the problem with the crashing of the gnome panels?
[19:23] <kfan> who was helping me with padman?>
[19:23] <Ravahan> Halitech: Its still running
[19:23] <gangil> th0r my computer is showing high temp. in gkrellm  ,I dont know why normally it shows ~10 C less
[19:23] <datta> or does everyone just use kde and forget about gnome?
[19:23] <th0r> gangil: move it out of the sun?
[19:23] <Halitech> Ravahan, the edit or the update?
[19:23] <coz_> datta,  I did a few weeks ago :)
[19:24] <gangil> It's night here :D
[19:24] <Ravahan> Halitech: The update.  I'm seeing a lot of converting going on here.
[19:24] <linduxed> ive got a main partition where most space is located mounted on /home. on that partition i have to fit home directories and samba-shares. is it "pretty" to categorized it by doing /home/users/ and /home/samba/ ?
[19:24] <Halitech> Ravahan, ok, pastebin the output
[19:24] <datta> please help with the fact that in 9.04 my alsa mixer, the volume comtroler and other elements from the panel crashes
[19:24] <sebsebseb> hi
[19:24] <Ravahan> Halitech: and so far three errors "Binary / Source version mismatch, skipping" on  all of them
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Ravahan: if you use it extensively, yuo will get a situation like this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+question/72151
[19:25] <datta> how can i fix that? i have to manually put those back in everytime it crashes
[19:25] <ufd> hi all. i got a prob with movie player, it cant play dvd ?
[19:25] <Ravahan> Halitech: Will do
[19:25] <Halitech> ufd, go for vlc
[19:25] <coz_> datta,   ooo that';s not good   is everything  panel associated crashing?
[19:25] <sebsebseb> !dvd |  ufd
[19:25] <ufd> halitech, hi, i looked at the vls site but the download scare the **** of me
[19:25] <datta> coz_: i didn't understand what you are asking about
[19:25] <sebsebseb> !medibuntu
[19:26] <sebsebseb> ufd: your trying to play commercial DVD's?
[19:26] <coz_> datta,   ok alsamixer crashes the panel?
[19:26] <Halitech> ufd, just install using synaptic or sudo apt-get install vlc in the terminal
[19:26] <ufd> sebsebseb, yeah
[19:26] <datta> coz_ yes also the time and the system monitor that i put up crashes
[19:26] <linduxed> bump
[19:26] <Ravahan> ActionParsnip: Well that looks like a giant pain in the butt.
[19:27] <coz_> datta,  mm  hold on
[19:27] <datta> all right coz_
[19:27] <Ravahan> ActionParsnip: I gave up on running Azureus myself.  I learn something valuable every time I come into #ubuntu, even if I don't say a word.
[19:27] <viki27> Hello , i installed ubuntu 9.04 on my computer and i have some problem with the sound , when i try to play some music files (mp3 etc..) or watch movie , or surf youtube i cant hear anyting beside wired noise like electricity , before the installation i try the ubuntu using the live-cd and its work fine including the sound) maybe something went wrong with the updates after the installation ?)
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Ravahan: lots, learning is good :D
[19:28] <sebsebseb> ufd: for legal reasons they can't provide  commercial  DVD support by default, and other  format support such as MP3 and AVI,  there's a program called libdvdcss2  that you can get from the medibuntu repo,  but it may not be fully legal in USA or whatever
[19:28] <sebsebseb> !medibuntu |  ufd
[19:28] <ufd> halitechm i havent downloaded it yet cos i though there might be a working player in the system, i will try to download the app
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> viki27: try:    amixer -q set PCM 100% unmute
[19:28] <linduxed> viki27: could this be it? http://beyondteck.blogspot.com/2009/04/ubuntu-audio-does-not-work-static-sound.html
[19:28] <coz_> datta,  ok  you might want to try to reset gnome to defaults
[19:29] <coz_> datta,  do you know how to do that?
[19:29] <Halitech> ufd, vlc is the only one I find that works, just install it the way I said earlier
[19:29] <kfan> msg mre_ u there buddy sorry about that
[19:29] <Halitech> kfan, mre is not online
[19:29] <kfan> :(
[19:29] <Ravahan> ActionParsnip: I was so tickled to find this resource referenced when I was googling something.  I only know one person who runs Linux and they use Fedora, so I was getting very frustrated trying to figure this stuff out.  #ubuntu really is an awesome resource for new users.
[19:29] <ufd> halitech, the command line is ok, but the download page is a bit daunting
[19:29] <coz_> datta,   in terminal     rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity    then log off and back on or restart X  proplerly  with    ctrl+alt+F1   log in   then   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm  restart
[19:30] <datta> coz_: how do i do that
[19:30] <Halitech> ufd, you don't need to download anything from the website
[19:30] <Ravahan> Halitech: Update; Its still doing its thing.  Just keeping you posted.
[19:30] <sebsebseb> ufd: I thought you wanted to play commercial DVD's,  but  it seems your talking about something else,   well  I just joined here
[19:30] <ufd> halitech, it said it couldnt find package
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Ravahan: i find it equal to the other linuxes. Just seems that more folks are jumping on it. It does have shortcomings as well as strengths just like all linuxes
[19:30] <viki27> ActionParsnip: working like magic :) thanks
[19:30] <coz_> datta,  in terminal     rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity    then log off and back on or restart X  proplerly  with    ctrl+alt+F1   log in   then   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm  restart
[19:30] <Halitech> Ravahan, dang, thats strange
[19:30] <Xacarith> I'm running 9.04 with an nvidia 8500 video card, driver 80.44 two monitors at two different resolutions using seperate x screens.  Part of my one screen is black and unsaleable with only the mouse able to pass through it.  The end result looks something like this http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e85/KessieRingtail/xscreen10.png
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> viki27: ;) i habve the same
[19:30] <datta> coz_ alright i am doing for it then hope it goes all okay
[19:30] <Halitech> ufd, do you have all the repos enabled?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> viki27: it will go back after you reboot
[19:31] <uman> wtf, there is an "ubuntu restaurant"
[19:31] <sebsebseb> !language | uman
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> viki27: i have the command in a script that runs at startup
[19:31] <Ravahan> Halitech: Hmmm not sure I like strange :( lol
[19:31] <datta> coz_: is it supposed to say something in the terminal
[19:31] <uman> lol, that's considered bad language
[19:31] <uman> sorry, then
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> uman: theres a cola too. Its an african word meaning "together"
[19:31] <ufd> halitech, i dont know, but the the line says E: Couldn't find package in
[19:31] <datta> because mine is totally blank
[19:31] <viki27> ActionParsnip: can you guide me how to create this kind of script ?
[19:31] <Halitech> Ravahan, normally it should only take maybe 2 minutes on a slow connection
[19:31] <coz_> datta,  no  not really  use sudo  before the rm -rf
[19:31] <Ravahan> ActionParsnip: I'm having a good time with it.  My first Linux OS.
[19:31] <sebsebseb> uman: the three letter thing is,   also kind of interesting what you put, but off topic
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> viki27: create a text file, paste that line in it
[19:32] <datta> ohh
[19:32] <ufd> halitech, how do u repos enabled ?
[19:32] <Halitech> ufd, okay, use pastebin and give us the results of cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> viki27: and have the top line as:   #!/bin/sh
[19:32] <Ravahan> Halitech: Well, each line is either a convert or a error.  I gather its supposed to be downloading stuff rather than changing stuff?
[19:32] <coz_> datta,   sorry about that the command is     sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Ravahan: i find it a bit bloated trying to accommodate all users. I have a script to pretty much gut it so that I find it usable
[19:33] <Halitech> ufd, Ravahan yeah, should be just checking the file lists to see if there is any newer versions of the propgrams you have installed
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> viki27: save the text file to ~
[19:33] <datta> coz_: well nothing seemed to have happned in the terminal it stays the same
[19:33] <datta> hope that is the way it is supposed to go
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> viki27: you will need to chmod +x the file o make it executable
[19:33] <ufd> halitech, #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted
[19:33] <coz_> datta,  mm ok  restart x  or log off and back on to test it
[19:33] <Ravahan> Halitech: here's a short example "Convert: libfreebob 1.0.11-1"
[19:34] <datta> alrite i am going to log off and log back in so gonna be offline
[19:34] <kfan> hali if i give u the pastebin of what mre wanted me to send him could u look at it for me? he was trying to find out why my computer shuts down when playing world of pad man
[19:34] <Xacarith> *sigh* guess I'll try another time  Wish luck to every one else.
[19:34] <Halitech> Ravahan, I wonder if you somehow had some of your files converted to 32bit
[19:34] <Ravahan> Halitech: I'm not sure what exactly is being converted into what.  If it goes way sour, I got this on a seperate partition from my /home so I won't be totally devistated
[19:34] <vassler> Is there any way to disable all tooltips????
[19:34] <giacomo> hi, I have a 24" DELL monitor and ubuntu does not recognize its correct resolution
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> viki27: if you remove the file extension, you can copy it to /usr/bin and it will be universally available
[19:34] <Ravahan> Halitech: You know, you might be onto something there...
[19:34] <Halitech> ufd, thats it? 1 line?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> giacomo: you need video drivers. lspci | grep -i vga
[19:34] <ufd> giacomo, get an NEC
[19:34] <vassler> Is there any way to disable all tooltips in ubuntu????
[19:35] <Ravahan> Halitech: As I said, I have my /home on a different partition....
[19:35] <ufd> well there's quite a few shall i put them up ?
[19:35] <Halitech> Ravahan, much as I hate to suggest it, might be time to think of nuke and pave
[19:35] <Halitech> ufd, yes, use pastebin though
[19:35] <giacomo> thanks, this is the output giacomo@giacomo-laptop:~$  lspci | grep -i vga
[19:35] <giacomo> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[19:35] <ufd> halitech, whats pastebin, sorry i'm new to this
[19:36] <Ravahan> Halitech: And I originally installed 32 bit Ubuntu by mistake (followed a link to 64 bit from an outside site and it had 32 bit checked at the bottom of the download page) and just recently swapped over.
[19:36] <legend2440> Xacarith: try channel  #nvidia
[19:36] <Halitech> !pastebin | ufd
[19:36] <Ravahan> Halitech: Could that explain why I couldn't get anything 32 bit to frigging load?
[19:36] <Halitech> Ravahan, 32bit will run on a 64 bit machine
[19:36] <Xacarith> k
[19:36] <Ravahan> Halitech: That was my impression =\
[19:36] <Ravahan> Halitech: lol
[19:37] <giacomo> the strange thing is that the live image DID set the right resolution
[19:37] <datta> all right, back to the default and back
[19:37] <Ravahan> Halitech: Well, maybe all this converting business will fix something eh?  Here's hoping.
[19:37] <Halitech> Ravahan, if you have 64bit and want to run 32bit apps then you need the 32bit libs to get it to work
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> giacomo: please tab complete my name at the start of each line if you are addressing me
[19:37] <datta> hope now it fixes everything, btw does anyone know how to stop the beeping?
[19:37] <vassler> Is there any way to disable all tooltips in ubuntu????
[19:37] <datta> i hate that beep that's why
[19:37] <Halitech> Ravahan, can hope, if not, might be time to reinstall
[19:37] <coz_> datta,  did that work?
[19:37] <ufd> halitech, did u get it ?
[19:38] <Halitech> ufd, get what?
[19:38] <datta> coz_: well have to see because the crash happens time to time but think it will not happen now again but if it does u all are here :)
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> giacomo: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html
[19:38] <coz_> datta,  ok :)
[19:38] <giacomo> ActionParsnip, thanks I'll have a look
[19:38] <ufd> pastebin
[19:38] <datta> so does anyone know how to stop the beep (system beep)?
[19:38] <ufd> halitech, pastebin
[19:39] <Halitech> ufd, you need to copy and paste the link it gave you into here
[19:39] <candrodor> ok, so NOW, after a reboot, completely randomly it seems, I have a CDRW drive and Floppy drive showing under Computer.
[19:39] <coz_> datta,  is this beep happening when you type?
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> datta: blacklist the pcspkr module
[19:39] <datta> not when someone sends me a messagage and i have the messanger minimized
[19:40] <piroko> Any idea why firefox shows the java plugin in about:plugins, but java applets don't work?
[19:40] <coz_> datta,  which  for pidgin  xchat or waht?
[19:40] <Ravahan> Halitech: Yeah, this whole adventure started trying to get a couple of 32 bit emulators to run on jaunty 64 bit.  I discovered Getlibs from google and a few ubuntu forum posts and had been messing with that... but it could never find the libs it needed for some reason.  So then, I thought I must not have some repos right or something.  I checked, and all of them were marked except sourcecode, so then I thought maybe I need to add one an
[19:40] <ufd> halitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/233362/
[19:40] <datta> it's for chatzilla plugin in firefox
[19:40] <coz_> datta,  did you check the settings for that in firefox  chatzilla?
[19:40] <kitche> piroko: do you have sun java installed or gcj?
[19:40] <kitche> piroko: or openjdk
[19:41] <legend2440> vassler: http://geekybits.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-tip-turning-off-tooltips.html
[19:41] <datta> coz_: not the last time i did it it was in the sound options, have changed it again but can't test it, could u send me another mesage with the name
[19:41] <coz_> datta,
[19:41] <coz_> datta,
[19:42] <datta> alright, now it's fixed thank you all
[19:42] <coz_> cool
[19:42] <JPSman> EDinNY: So I ran the XP recovery CD and did the FIXMBR, and the Grub4Dos is STILL there
[19:42] <datta> thanks coz_ for helping me out
[19:42] <coz_> datta,   no problem :)
[19:42] <JPSman> How does one remove grub4dos?
[19:42] <ufd> halitech, do u see it ?
[19:42] <Halitech> Ravahan, yeah, crossing the border between the 2 is a real pain, thats why I don't do it
[19:42] <gangil> hi , my laptop is showing THM=43 C and GPU=60 C , ubuntu interprid , is that normal??? :(
[19:42] <Halitech> ufd, yeah, got it and looking now
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> gangil: sounds ok to me
[19:43] <piroko> kitche: sun-java6-plugin/bin
[19:43] <unixbocx> wow, what a nightmare finally got the my linksys router back up, thought i burned it out..now i'm back with >cablebox > router >dhcp'd out to all the pc's plus my ubuntu server.. on it's internal ip <IP_ADDRESS> now all i have to do is figure out how to get a domain name from godaddy to point to my server with apache ruuning
[19:44] <gangil> When should I start worrying above*? C* I have Dell inspiron 1420
[19:44] <Ravahan> unixbocx: So DMZ is working out then?
[19:45] <unixbocx> i couldn't say working.. the router lets me set it up but ????
[19:45] <unixbocx> now what
[19:45] <unixbocx> lol
[19:45] <Ravahan> lol I know what you mean
[19:45] <Hilikus> can someone tell me what they get from "which firefox"
[19:45] <Halitech> ufd, try the instructions here for getting the newest version of vlc ...   http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/195/install-all-new-vlc-1-0-in-ubuntu-jaunty-intrepid-hardy
[19:46] <gangil> Halitech: /usr/bin/firefox
[19:46] <Ravahan> unixbocx: I'm not really familiar with using godaddy, but let me consult the Allmighty Google on your behalf while I wait on this stupid thingie I'm running here
[19:46] <piroko> kitche: Hmm... Apparently sun-java5-plugin works fine.
[19:46] <Hilikus> gangil: could you check if that is just a symlink please
[19:47] <gangil> Hilikus: I dont know that much :D
[19:47] <ufd> halitech, it eventually takes you here ? https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc
[19:47] <Halitech> unixbocx, you are going to need to point it to your external IP and then have the router forward it to the internal IP of the machine running apache
[19:47] <Hilikus> gangil: do ls -l /usr/bin/firefox and tell me what you get
[19:47] <prince_jammys> Hilikus: /usr/bin/firefox: symbolic link to `firefox-3.0'
[19:47] <unixbocx> lol ok ...i've tryed using a cname record that would point to my dyndns name server which on my ubuntu server has ddclient running to update dyndns
[19:47] <Hilikus> thanks guys
[19:47] <Halitech> ufd, yes
[19:47] <Hilikus> i lost my symlink for some reason
[19:48] <Hilikus> but i wanted to make sure that it is a symlink
[19:48] <prince_jammys> Hilikus: /usr/bin/firefox-3.0: symbolic link to `../lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox.sh'
[19:48] <gangil> what's that?*symlink?
[19:48] <unixbocx> ok, that sound like something
[19:48] <Hilikus> gangil: a symbolic link
[19:48] <Hilikus> !symlink
[19:48] <ufd> halitech, there seems to be 10 downloads (looks like portions on ftp site) ????
[19:49] <Halitech> ufd, don't go to the site to download anything, edit your sources.list file to add the correct repo then run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install vlc
[19:49] <prince_jammys> Hilikus: i have hardy, if that makes any difference.
[19:49] <Hilikus> prince_jammys: it should be the same i think
[19:49] <unixbocx> i have a linksys WRT54GX with SRX, looking throught it i'm finding it hard to find something about forwarding
[19:49] <unixbocx> my server is in the DMZ though
[19:50] <Halitech> unixbocx, not the ideal way but you could use the dmz setting, just leaves you open to possible attacks
[19:50] <gangil> Hilikus: Is symlink , the link to the file which that particulaar command points to in the terminal?
[19:51] <Hilikus> gangil: no, symlinks are special files that point to other files or directories
[19:51] <danlii> The scroll wheel on my mouse (Trust MI-6950R) sends events to the gnome volume control instead of scrolling as it should, how could this be solved?
[19:51] <Hilikus> not just commands
[19:51] <ufd> halitech,can i use text edit or vi ? and what shall i put in exactly ?
[19:51] <Hilikus> but any file
[19:51] <unixbocx> ok, i can take it out.. yesterday my logs showed some bots coming out of china and russia looking for ways in my server,
[19:51] <Keiffer> Do you know Azeotrope?
[19:51] <rapha> is there ANY raw converter at all that works with the Canon EOS 50D?
[19:52] <legend2440> Hilikus: yes thats a symlink it resolves at   /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.12/firefox
[19:52] <gangil> Hilikus: thanks :)
[19:52] <nick635mirc1> hello, my ubuntu says "Wired Network not managed"

[19:59] <Halitech> Ravahan, sounds like it
[19:59] <ufd> halitech, sudo apt-get install vlc-nox
[19:59] <iceroot> gangil: type in the shell avant tab and start it

[20:01] <mankeletor> hello there, anybody knows how to change the init mode of ubuntu? i need to change to 'init 3'
[20:01] <ufd> halitech, nope ?!?
[20:01] <ufd> halitech :(
[20:01] <Halitech> ufd, has it finished installing yet?
[20:01] <coz_> mankeletor,   sudo init 3   ?
[20:01] <iceroot> mankeletor: if i am correct ubuntu isnt using init-modes like suse does
[20:01] <ufd> halitech, yes
[20:01] <iceroot> mankeletor: type "init 3"
[20:02] <durt> mankeletor, there are only two 'init' modes in ubuntu single and multi user
[20:02] <Halitech> ufd, did it give any errors?
[20:02] <kc8pxy> what could cause my apache server, managed by webmin, and virtualmin, to quit being accessible from the same switch, with onyl the addition of shorewall between the internet and the webserver?  accesing the webserver from the interwebs is fine,  it's just from the lan that's not working anymore.
[20:02] <durt> mankeletor, if you need cli multiuser, kill xorg.
[20:02] <kc8pxy> this is an ubuntu 8.04 32-bit server.
[20:02] <ufd> halitech, i closed that text file which you asked me to add 2 lines to and now xterm is inflating something ??
[20:02] <kc8pxy> ??
