[16:33] <Crewsr3> I'm doing a full computer rebuild today from scratch and I want to backup everything to a large external hard drive.  Is there a good program that will make a bit for bit copy of my hard drive and put it on the external drive without compression.  I want to be able to reinstall and then pull over files and folders with precision not just one big dump.  The reason behind that is I want to pick and chose what settings I restore

[16:34] <erUSUL> !info genius |  noriyuki
[16:34] <master_alvaro> linuxboy: for example gcc package in gentoo
[16:34] <Guest58830>  in Ubuntu, on my laptop, I can't crank up the sound like in
[16:34] <Guest58830>                     Windows, maximum volume is still quiet, HELP!
[16:34] <noriyuki> erUSUL, Thanks!
[16:34] <[a1]> SOO WHO IN THAFUCK GIVES A FUCK YOU ARE french ????
[16:34] <linuxboy> master_alvaro: then you must do it manually
[16:35] <slestak> is there an ubuntu channel for netbooks?
[16:35] <perlsyntax> is there away to get python 2.6 on unbuntu 8.10?
[16:35] <erUSUL> [a1]: that was totally uncalled for...
[16:35] <erUSUL> !caps | [a1]
[16:35] <master_alvaro> linuxboy: yes, so i am looking for site like packages.debian.org, but for ubuntu
[16:35] <erUSUL> !language | [a1]
[16:35] <wookienz> Maveas: prmisuous mode is basically searching all channels instead of just sticking on one.
[16:35] <[a1]> lol
[16:35] <linuxboy> master_alvaro: packages.ubuntu.com
[16:35] <UnknownUser56> [r]Followed the grub installation instructions ,it's the Windows boot loader that's active and it only detects the liveCD boot ( with the help of wubi ) ..do I HAVE to overwrite the Windows Bootlaoder ?
[16:35] <master_alvaro> linuxboy: i found packages.ubunutu.com, but it doesn't work
[16:36] <linuxboy> master_alvaro: i does work
[16:36] <linuxboy> master_alvaro: it does work
[16:36] <Vimes> Hello! I just found out about the "alias" command, and I live it. But it says something about me having to edit some bash file to make it permenant (source: Ubuntu forums), really, I love the alias stuff but how to I access/edit the bash kinda thingy and how do I edit it? ( .bash_profile)
[16:36] <master_alvaro> linuxboy: "Safari could not open the page “http://packages.ubuntu.com/” because the server is not responding."
[16:36] <erUSUL> Vimes: put them on ~/.bashrc
[16:36] <master_alvaro> i will try for 5 minutes
[16:37] <linuxboy> master_alvaro: works for me
[16:37] <erUSUL> master_alvaro: we already told you that the server is down and Pici gave you an alternative site. what else do you want us to do??
[16:37] <Vimes> Thanks for the respons, but I'm new :/ ..how do I put them on ~/.bashrc? (please excuse my stupidity)
[16:37] <Guest58830> Can anyone help me with increasing the maximum sound loudness on ubuntu ?
[16:37] <linuxboy> Vimes: open a "Terminal" then type "gedit .bashrc
[16:37] <linuxboy> Vimes: open a "Terminal" then type "gedit .bashrc"
[16:38] <master_alvaro> erUSUL: nothing, but linuxboy asking me about my problem, so i try to explain him, what is my problem
[16:38] <Vimes> THANKS!
[16:38] <erUSUL> Vimes: with a text editor as linuxboy said
[16:39] <Vimes> hmmm.. So I should write the alias'es in the text editor, just randomly and they will work? it says "You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
[16:39] <Vimes> # ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
[16:39] <Vimes> # See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package."
[16:39] <UnknownUser56> The Windows boot loader is the one active and it only detects the liveCD boot ( with the help of wubi )  apart from Windows ofcourse..do I HAVE to overwrite the Windows Boot loader so that I may boot to Ubuntu  ?
[16:39] <slestak> is it worth using lpia arch for netbooks?  or for deb compatibility go ahead and use i386?
[16:40] <hmw_> UnknownUser56 if you install grub as boot loader, the windows boot loader will be still available, when you select the boot option for windows
[16:41] <unavailable> ok I installed two instances of windows vista home premium that came preinstalled on my pc.  But, I also have ubuntu and grub.  I do not want 2 os choice menus, and I want to use grub to manage my boots.  How can i remove the second instance of vista from the vista boot-manager, and add it to the grub correctly without it complaining about "bootmgr missing"?
[16:41] <UnknownUser56> hmw_:but why isn't the new ubuntu installation being detected to boot from ?
[16:41] <daedalus__> Hi
[16:42] <dcider> just started using xchat, can i turn off joins and qiuts???
[16:42] <hmw_> UnknownUser56 i dont know wubi, so i am not sure. Windows boot loader is not made to start anything but windows. maybe it is just not capable of booting ubuntu
[16:43] <erUSUL> slestak: lpia is for Ibntel Atom cpu so if your netbook has one of those you can use lpia
[16:43] <DJones> dcider: you should be able to right click on the channel name and there's an option to hide joins & parts in xchat
[16:43] <dcider> thx
[16:43] <erUSUL> dcider: right click on the channel "button"
[16:43] <dcider> excellent
[16:44] <unavailable> if its an xp boot loader
[16:44] <unavailable> you can boot to ubuntu with some help
[16:44] <unavailable> let me try and find the tool needed.
[16:45] <Pizarro> Hi all
[16:45] <xai> How do I blank a dvd-rw  that has been damaged? Do I need to re-format it?
[16:45] <unavailable> while in windows
[16:45] <unavailable> http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm
[16:45] <Pizarro> I am trying to execute a program but I always get the same error (the file exists and I am in its location):bash: ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: No such file or directory  -- Can anyone help me please?
[16:45] <unavailable> use that.
[16:45] <FloodBot1> unavailable: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:46] <_cb> Used to have sound now I don't. Other users in the system do. Sound preferences and Graphical sound control look the same for me and other users. Any ideas?
[16:46] <Pizarro> The file has executable rights:

[16:46] <Pizarro> Any ideas?
[16:47] <alx88> ciao a tutti
[16:47] <genii> Pizarro: the version designation looks like it should have a different extension than .3023   ...like .deb or .tar.gz
[16:47] <slestak> anyome using ubuntu on a netbook?  you keeping the lpia arch or going to i386?
[16:47] <unavailable> UnknownUser56: use that pro i posted a link to ^^ up there... then follow the last three steps on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=327781
[16:47] <unavailable> if its xp
[16:48] <alx88> ragazzi dove si va per la versione italiana?:)
[16:48] <Pizarro> genii, I don't understand, it doesn't have any extension
[16:48] <oskar-> Pizarro:  what happens, if you just enter "bash"?
[16:48] <unavailable> UnknownUser56: or rather the last 5 steps
[16:48] <hmw_> Pizarro if you are in the same dir, you cant start files by just typing their names. you maybe need to type ./PROGRAMNAME to be able to call it from the working dir
[16:49] <genii> Pizarro: Where did the file come from?
[16:49] <Pizarro> oskar-,if I write bash nothing, just another propmt appears on screen
[16:49] <Pizarro> genii,http://pbxnsip.com/software
[16:49] <oskar-> Pizarro:  ok, it was not a good test. look for a command in the file, where bash called with a file as parameter, where the file does not exist
[16:49] <Pizarro> hmw_, I know, I type this: ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23
[16:50] <unavailable> UnknownUser56: if all goes correctly, bootpart will save the boot info from the ubuntu partition, to a file on the c drive, then create an entry in boot.ini  (you must have grub installed on the ubuntu partition NOT THE MBR) FOR THAT TO WORK CORRECTLY
[16:50] <hmw_> Pizarro it might be a tar.gz
[16:50] <Pizarro> hmw_, I changed the extenssion to tar.gz but when I try to decompress it I get a file type error
[16:50] <Pizarro> I am pretty sure it is an executable
[16:51] <genii> Pizarro: http://pbxnsip.com/cs410/update-<IP_ADDRESS>23.tgz       indicates .tar.gz
[16:51] <erUSUL> Pizarro: «file pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23 » should tell you what type of file it is
[16:51] <UnknownUser56> unavailable : interesting .. I will be trying it out I heard of Bootpart but never bothered ,now I will thanks :) ,but the partitions are not visible ,the ones that are ext2 are ,but partitions with ext3 filesystems aren't visible even with the necessary drivers .. guess I'll be overwriting the MBR ,sadly
[16:51] <NicEXE> is there any tool to write on a video the desktop activity?
[16:51] <SlimeyPete> NicEXE: google for screencasting tools
[16:51] <unavailable> bootpart will see them
[16:51] <Pizarro> genii, well, changing the extendion still getting error while trying to decompress it
[16:51] <genii> Pizarro: http://pbxnsip.com/cs410/update-<IP_ADDRESS>23.tgz       You should have run something like    tar -xvzf filename.tgz                       on it
[16:52] <erUSUL> NicEXE: recordmydesktop; xvidcap ??
[16:52] <Pizarro> erUSUL, what you mean?
[16:52] <erUSUL> Pizarro: that command identifies the type of file
[16:52] <mpolo> :-0
[16:52] <unavailable> UnknownUser56: just make sure you have the grub loader installed on the UBUNTU PARTITION before running bootpart
[16:52] <hmw_> erUSUL i couldnt read the chars around the file name... encoding problem...
[16:52] <hmw_> erUSUL what command did you mean?
[16:53] <erUSUL> hmw_: file
[16:53] <Pizarro> genii, error whil decompressing, not tar format
[16:53] <Pizarro> erUSUL, pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

[16:54] <DVA5912> Am I to infer that ubuntu supports user icons? In the login screen there is a user type thing to the left of usernames. Could that be transformed to show the users icon?
[16:54] <erUSUL> Pizarro: so it is an executable...
[16:54] <Pizarro> erUSUL, it is an executable as FILE command says, however I cant execute it ¿? while typing : ./appname
[16:54] <hmw_> Pizarro are you sure, that bash is telling you, that it cant find that file? maybe the program runs, but itself isnt able to find/access another file
[16:54] <Pizarro> hmw_, let me try that
[16:54] <Shanix> anyone is using UK keyboard and have to press the single quote twice for it to appear??
[16:54] <hololight> This is going to be a VERY broad question... I recently dist-upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 (The first ubuntu to fully support all of the features of my hp tx1000), I did this against all my better judgment (so i have no one to blame but myself). Now my laptop is running painfully slow. Gnome startup is slow. programs like gedit (of all things) will actually cause the system to become unresponive for upwards of 30 seconds..... any thoughts?
[16:55] <oskar-> Pizarro: for me it look like the file wants to execute shell commands in a bash, but reference the bash executable with a false path
[16:55] <erUSUL> Pizarro: try with bash completion... write ./pbx<hit tab> maybe there is some weird character that needs to be scaped
[16:55] <unavailable> hololight: clean install out of the question?
[16:55] <Pizarro> erUSUL, root@ITE-Server:/home/cmrabet# ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23
[16:55] <Pizarro> bash: ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: No such file or directory
[16:56] <hololight> unavailable: for the msot part... i could, but this has been a 'production' machine since 8.04 was in beta....
[16:56] <erUSUL> Pizarro: o.0!!!
[16:56] <erUSUL> Pizarro: nver seen such an error
[16:56] <nomic> i have a dell brand inspiron 1525 with ubuntu pre-installed how do i get a 'live' or an installation disk that is the ubuntu which is on the laptop ... please anyone any ideas i want the same configuration i am putting ubuntu onto another inspiron 1525 (now has vista on it)
[16:56] <oskar-> Pizarro:  try this: "strace ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23 2>&1 | grep bash"
[16:57] <unavailable> hololight, you have a seperate /home?
[16:57] <Pizarro> oskar-, thanks, I will try
[16:57] <jeancalvin>  hi, what's a lighter login manager than Gnome manager?  i'm using LXDE as my DE.
[16:57] <hololight> unavailable: nope, the other reason that a reinstall would be quite painful
[16:57] <bscott> is anyone experiencing hangs when running multiple rdp sessions?
[16:57] <unavailable> aah
[16:57] <unavailable> i see.
[16:57] <erUSUL> jeancalvin: xdm ?
[16:57] <Pizarro> oskar-, nothing on screen after that:
[16:57] <Pizarro> root@ITE-Server:/home/cmrabet# strace ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23 2>&1 | grep bash
[16:57] <lmartin92> how well does a HD 4650 work with this distribution (as good as a Geforce 8500?)
[16:57] <Pizarro> root@ITE-Server:/home/cmrabet#
[16:57] <unavailable> I shall then defer to someone else...
[16:58] <oskar-> Pizarro:  nothing? hm...
[16:58] <nomic> im wondering how to get a 'live' or installation disk of the ubuntu copy which is on the machine
[16:58] <Pizarro> oskar-, yes nothing
[16:58] <hololight> unavailable: again it is my own fault... even as i gave advise to another to refrain from upgrading.... i did it anyway....
[16:58] <unavailable> lol
[16:58] <nomic> its probably not possible
[16:58] <hmw_> Pizarro maybe try downloading the same prog from another source
[16:58] <unavailable> try  sudo update-manager -d again..   lastnight it gave me 10.4
[16:58] <Pizarro> hmw_, I will download the other version and see what happens
[16:58] <jeancalvin> erUSUL: thakns. what about slim?
[16:59] <oskar-> ok
[16:59] <nomic> in other words what  i want to do really is 'clone' a machine
[16:59] <erUSUL> jeancalvin: never used it
[16:59] <hololight> Does anyone else have a direction for me to seach in? I'm not the kind to ask for an exact solution... just a direction...
[17:00] <sendark> macs can connect to another computer just with a CAT5 cable, without the need of a crossover. Does anyone know how to connect two linux with just a regular cable?
[17:00] <nomic> whats the problem holodeck
[17:00] <hololight> sendark: it all depends on the hardware
[17:00] <erUSUL> sendark: with a hub/switch
[17:00] <hmw_> nomic: to clone, you can simply use cp -a, while the file system is not "alive" (meaning boot from livecd to make the copy)
[17:00] <Pizarro> I GOT the same result, I think something is wrong with me
[17:00] <Pizarro> bash: ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>8: No such file or directory
[17:00] <erUSUL> nomic: use clonezilla
[17:00] <nomic> ah ok
[17:01] <torgrim> anyone else having a problem with audacious beeing horrible unstable?
[17:01] <nomic> does clonezilla make an installation cd erusul?
[17:01] <hololight> sendark: if the hardware nick supports auto swaping between cross and straight... then you could, otherwise you will need something such as a hub, switch, router
[17:01] <torgrim> segfaults and wierd behavior all the time
[17:01] <oskar-> Pizarro:  type "sh" and then try running it
[17:01] <sendark> hololight, RTL-8139 10/100 card
[17:01] <erUSUL> nomic: dunno really look up the docs
[17:01] <UnknownUser56> available:it does detect the ext3 file system partitions :)
[17:01] <UnknownUser56> *unavailable
[17:01] <oskar-> Pizarro:  does it say "sh: ..." this time?
[17:01] <unavailable> yep
[17:02] <Pizarro> oskar-, sh: pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: not found
[17:02] <oskar-> Pizarro:  ok, what if you try it with the full path? /home/.... and so on?
[17:03] <deever> anyone who brought XDMCP over NAT to work?
[17:03] <nomic> ty erusul
[17:03] <hololight> sendark: I can't find the datasheets for it.... it may, it may not... work, that is
[17:03] <erUSUL> sendark: " macs can connect to another computer just with a CAT5 cable, without the need of a crossover. " << i really doubt it as the need for a crossover cable is at such a low level hardware level that it is the same no matter which OS
[17:03] <Pizarro> oskar-, the same:
[17:03] <Pizarro> root@ITE-Server:/home/cmrabet# ./home/cmrabet/pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23
[17:03] <Pizarro> bash: ./home/cmrabet/pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: No such file or directory
[17:03] <oskar-> deever:  it gives many google results, have you checked them?
[17:03] <torgrim> tips for a nonbloated mp3 player that is stable? ;)
[17:04] <erUSUL> Pizarro: if you use the absolute path do not put the . in front of it
[17:04] <oskar-> Pizarro:  remove the . before the /home
[17:04] <hololight> erUSUL: again, it depends on the feature set of the card.... same as some switches/ hubs can auto switch
[17:04] <erUSUL> torgrim: audacious ?
[17:04] <Pizarro> Ok, the samething guys:
[17:04] <Pizarro> root@ITE-Server:/home/cmrabet# /home/cmrabet/pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23
[17:04] <Pizarro> bash: /home/cmrabet/pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: No such file or directory
[17:04] <deever> oskar-: yeah, but only crap, afais...
[17:04] <hmw_> is it normal, that i cant seek on a DVD with totem?
[17:05] <torgrim> erUSUL: its unstable
[17:05] <erUSUL> torgrim: bmpx
[17:05] <hololight> Pizarro: I'm walking into this halfway through so forgive me..... did you check permissions?
[17:05] <sendark> erUSUL, a crossover cable has the recieve and send pins flipped in order to connect them correctly. But some cards (or some software process) could notice this and just emulate a crossover

[17:06] <candive> Hi all, is Limewire Linux? GNU?
[17:06] <hololight> Pizarro: well, that was all I had at the moment... srry
[17:06] <candive> my search was i nconclusive
[17:06] <oskar-> Pizarro:  can you copy the file? "cp -p /home/cmrabet/pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23 /home/cmrabet/pbx-backup"
[17:06] <Claw6> candive: think so
[17:06] <candive> Claw6 thanks
[17:07] <genii> Pizarro: If the object of this entire exercise is to have a pbx type setup, maybe look at FreePBX or so
[17:07] <Claw6> candive, you join gnutella with lime
[17:07] <oskar-> hehe
[17:07] <candive> Claw6: ok thanks
[17:07] <hmw_> Pizarro genii sure, it might be a solution to try another software. but i am curious, what this strange bug is really
[17:07] <Pizarro> genii, this was bought already, so I have to deal with it
[17:08] <candive> I,m gone, thanks again Claw6
[17:08] <hmw_> Pizarro bought? didnt you download from a different source earlier?
[17:08] <unavailable> ok is it possible to use grub to locate a specific file to boot from?  like if its booting from (hd0,1) can i make it search for \windows\system32\winload.exe?
[17:08] <Pizarro> oskar-, I can: -rwxrwxrwx 1 cmrabet cmrabet 8016988 2008-11-24 17:26 pbxbackup
[17:09] <oskar-> Pizarro:  can you now try to execute that file?
[17:09] <genii> hmw_: It is odd
[17:09] <Pizarro> hmw_, we bought the pbxnsip license to work with the pbx,
[17:09] <Pizarro> yeah, it is really weird, this is Ubuntu Server 8.10
[17:09] <hmw_> Pizarro my idea is, that the file might be just damaged
[17:09] <oskar-> hmw_:  he can copy it...
[17:10] <hmw_> Pizarro or not compatible with the kernel?
[17:10] <Pizarro> hmw_, well , I downloaded it from the oficial website
[17:10] <Pizarro> hwm, is Ubuntu 8.10 Server compatible with Debian 4.0?
[17:10] <hmw_> oskar- that wouldnt contradict the broken-file-theory (corrupded elf header)
[17:10] <oskar-> ok
[17:10] <hmw_> Pizarro the kernel your prog is made for is 2.4, current ubuntu has 2.6 i think
[17:10] <Pizarro> Guys, Can you try doing the same in your computers?
[17:11] <hmw_> Pizarro but that shouldnt result in a file not found message
[17:11] <oskar-> Pizarro:  yes, give us the link
[17:11] <Pizarro> oskar-http://pbxnsip.com/software, look for the Debian version

[17:19] <matt__> I rememeber reading about a distro designed for fixing windows, anyone know the name? I'm being paid to fix a (severly) screwed up windows pc.
[17:19] <nikolam> Guest54023, Audacious, sorry
[17:20] <fde> nikolam: audacity is an editor, not a player
[17:20] <nikolam> fde, I corrected myself, 10x, I have both :)

[17:21] <Pizarro> The file is owned by "cmrabet", and I execute it as "cmrabet" so what the hell is going on here?
[17:21] <fde> Pizarro: are you in the directory where that file is located?
[17:21] <Pizarro> fde, yes: cmrabet@ITE-Server:~$ pwd
[17:22] <hmw_> pwd???

[17:22] <oskar-> Pizarro:  do you have a file /proc/net/dev?
[17:22] <fde> present working directory
[17:22] <pfungstadt> has anyone had problems watching certain java based videos on 8.10?  Sites such as cnn, and nfl.com use them.  Their videos are extremely choppy
[17:22] <hmw_> Pizarro if youre root, then youre not in the home of the user, but ~ would be /root
[17:23] <Pizarro> oskar-, yes I do
[17:23] <fde> hmw_: not helpful
[17:23] <Pizarro> hmw_, I can be root and move under /home/cmrabet
[17:23] <hmw_> fde if he tries to start ./file it goes to /root/file
[17:23] <wesolek> Hello, can anybody help? I have a problem with forwarding windows from another linux/unix machine to my screen. so when I ssh -XC it works fine, but when I try to open a window it says: Cannot open connection to window server: :0 (Server package)
[17:23] <hmw_> Pizarro but your prompt tells me, that you didnt
[17:23] <Pizarro> hmw_, ok, so now I will try as "cmrabet"
[17:23] <fde> Pizarro: what is in the file? is it executable?
[17:23] <|unjustice|> Hey anyoe know how to automount a micro SD card? Ubuntu hardy heron is not doing it
[17:23] <Pizarro> fde, yes it is
[17:23] <hmw_> Pizarro just cd or check that youre not in root's home[D

[17:24] <FloodBot1> Pizarro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:24] <oskar-> Pizarro:  i tried it. here it unpacks a lot of directories and files into the current directory
[17:24] <mgolisch> is the file maybe a symlink pointing to nowhere?
[17:24] <Pizarro> I am going to use pastebin guys
[17:24] <mgolisch> or to an invalid / non existant path?
[17:25] <oskar-> Pizarro:  with strace i also cannot find it trying to reference files, that would lead to a "file not found" message of the program
[17:25] <Pizarro> http://pastebin.com/m4e19de09
[17:25] <NicEXE> how can I temporarily disable compiz?
[17:25] <pfungstadt> has anyone had problems watching certain java based videos on 8.10?  Sites such as cnn, and nfl.com use them.  Their videos are extremely choppy.  I have a Dell Mini 9 and installed ubuntu 8.10 on it but the video is horrible...
[17:25] <hmw_> NicEXE install fusion-icon
[17:25] <Pizarro> oskar-, that's what it supossed to do, unpack, but I cant do it
[17:25] <mgolisch> Pizarro: but the file realy exists?
[17:25] <fde> NicEXE: sure... System > Preferences > Appearance ... Visual Effects tab... "None"
[17:25] <erUSUL> Pizarro: haz an "ls -l" to the sequence
[17:25] <fde> hmw_: no
[17:25] <Pizarro> mgolisch, yes it is there
[17:26] <hmw_> fde this would delete his settings
[17:26] <mgolisch> and its realy not symlink?
[17:26] <NicEXE> fde: I will lose my current settings
[17:26] <hmw_> fde he wanted temporary disabling
[17:26] <fde> NicEXE: why would you? they should be under custom?
[17:26] <lorty> French channel?
[17:26] <mgolisch> NicEXE: just replace the window manager
[17:26] <Pizarro> erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/m52f4e7c7
[17:26] <fde> mgolisch: that's what setting it to 'none' would do
[17:26] <oskar-> Pizarro:  you could type "ldd <executable>", maybe some libraries are missing and it has a uncommon way to say it to the user?
[17:27] <Pizarro> oskar-, I will try
[17:27] <mgolisch> NicEXE: like metacity --replace & then disown to disown the process so it doesnt die when closing the terminal
[17:27] <Pizarro> oskar-, cmrabet@ITE-Server:~$ ldd pbxnsip
[17:27] <Pizarro>         not a dynamic executable
[17:27] <erUSUL> Pizarro: i'm officially puzzled
[17:27] <oskar-> ok...
[17:27] <Pizarro> erUSUL, well imagine how I am...I installed this same file months ago in Ubuntu 8.04
[17:27] <mpi> is it possible to know or vote/elect a package to be backported to hardy?
[17:28] <hmw_> Pizarro i am, too
[17:28] <|unjustice|> I have the dmesg | tail -30 output of the microSD card, and it says that it is not write protected, and it is in the locked position...
[17:28] <Pizarro> Guys, How can I know that something is wrong with my BASH etc..?=?=?=
[17:28] <|unjustice|> not sure
[17:28] <piranijus> Hello, i just installed 8.10 Server Edition, and my internet connection is so slow
[17:28] <oskar-> Pizarro:  have you already tried to download it a second time? ;-)
[17:28] <piranijus> What i should do?
[17:28] <jim_p> how can i change my kde apps icons in gnome?
[17:28] <maxb_> mpi: You can suggest, but whether it actually happens depends on how much of the testing legwork you are willing to do
[17:28] <oskar-> Pizarro:  wget http://pbxnsip.com/download/pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23
[17:28] <Pizarro> oskar-. I'll try again

[17:30] <hmw_> Pizarro i'll ask somwhere else, maybe i get a new idea... stay here, brb
[17:30] <Guest54023> nokolam, erUSUL, fde thanks !
[17:30] <jim_p> |unjustice|, you want to mount a wierdly formated sd card?
[17:30] <Pizarro> I downloaded the file again, the same thing
[17:31] <Pizarro> erUSUL, cmrabet@ITE-Server:~$ dash pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23
[17:31] <Pizarro> pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[17:31] <erUSUL> Pizarro: no; run dash then using that shell try ./pbx...
[17:31] <|unjustice|> jim_p: aye
[17:31] <fde> erUSUL: how would that differ from dash cmd ?
[17:32] <Pizarro> erUSUL, cmrabet@ITE-Server:~$ dash
[17:32] <Pizarro> $ ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23
[17:32] <Pizarro> dash: ./pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: not found

[17:32] <fde> (hint, it wouldn't)
[17:32] <FloodBot1> Pizarro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:32] <|unjustice|> jim_p: formatted by a phone, I did it automatically before...but I geuss I need a command or something
[17:32] <Pizarro> It just simply doesn't find the FILE¿?¿?¿??
[17:32] <erUSUL> fde: well can a shell accept a binary (note that it is not sh script) from command line as parameter to launch it?
[17:32] <fde> Pizarro: please throw the contents of the file up on paste.ubuntu.com
[17:32] <NicEXE> I just realized that every time I launch some (32 bit) 3d games with compiz enabled the textures get really scrambled. Is there any way to fix that problem without disabling compiz?
[17:33] <fde> erUSUL: based on the original error, I'd suggest its not a binary
[17:33] <Pizarro> fde, http://pastebin.com/m67cc6392
[17:33] <fde> erUSUL: else where would be unexpected syntax come from?
[17:33] <erUSUL> fde: it is an elf static binary according to "file"
[17:33] <endo602> has anyone successfully set up audio with spdif out?
[17:33] <oskar-> Pizarro:  are the md5sums identical? try "md5sum <file>". if yes, try simply "strace <executable>", maybe this gives a hint...
[17:34] <fde> Pizarro: thats not what I asked for... cat pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23 | pastebinit (I think you installed that earlier)
[17:34] <erUSUL> fde: 17:53 < Pizarro> erUSUL, pbxctrl-debian4.0-<IP_ADDRESS>23: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for  GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[17:34] <fde> Pizarro: ahh, then nm
[17:34] <jim_p> |unjustice|, give me a sec
[17:34] <jim_p> i am a bit busy :(
[17:34] <Pizarro> cat to 8M?
[17:35] <erUSUL> Pizarro: are you on 64 bit ubuntu???
[17:35] <jim_p> |unjustice|, pm me if you want
[17:35] <NicEXE> I just realized that every time I launch some (32 bit) 3d games with compiz enabled the textures get really scrambled. Is there any way to fix that problem without disabling compiz?
[17:35] <hmw_> Pizarro re... no new ideas so far
[17:35] <CPUFreak91> Evolution keeps giving me a "Cannot write to ~/.evolution/mail/Drafts: Permission Denied" error.  I've tried several solutions on the forums, such as changing the permissions (are writeable) but I still get the error
[17:35] <erUSUL> Pizarro: do you have ia32-lib installed ??
[17:35] <fde> NicEXE: no
[17:35] <Pizarro> erUSUL, I don't know what's that?
[17:35] <erUSUL> Pizarro: it only makes sense if you are on 64 bit ubuntu... do "uname -m"
[17:36] <mpi> maxb_, thanks!
[17:36] <hmw_> Pizarro ldd ./filename
[17:36] <Pizarro> erU
[17:36] <fde> erUSUL: wouldn't that result in a lib error, not a command not found or etc
[17:36] <Pizarro> erUSUL, cmrabet@ITE-Server:~$ uname -m
[17:36] <Pizarro> x86_64
[17:36] <fde> hmw_: he already did that
[17:36] <erUSUL> Pizarro: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[17:36] <fde> hmw_: not a dynamic lib
[17:36] <jeancalvin> ihow can i search my hard drive for a foo.conf file?
[17:37] <jeancalvin> how can i search my hard drive for a foo.conf file?
[17:37] <fde> jeancalvin: locate foo.conf
[17:37] <CPUFreak91> jeancalvin: locate foo.conf
[17:37] <jeancalvin> sorry for dbl post
[17:37] <Pizarro> erUSUL, installing ... 128MB!
[17:37] <fde> !repeat > jeancalvin
[17:37] <jeancalvin> fde: too late
[17:37] <jeancalvin> 8-)
[17:37] <Pizarro> Whating for headers
[17:37] <fde> !enter
[17:37] <Pizarro> now installing
[17:37] <egoleo> hello
[17:37] <erUSUL> !info ia32-libs | Pizarro
[17:38] <erUSUL> !?
[17:38] <Pizarro> ubottu, well I am installing them right now
[17:38] <fde> !search ia32
[17:38]  * erUSUL only 32 bit packages on ubottu ?
[17:38] <deever> anyone who brought XDMCP over NAT to work?
[17:38] <Pizarro> well it is still installing now
[17:39] <erUSUL> Pizarro: launch the binary after installing it
[17:39] <Pizarro> so, the issue is that I am under 64 bits, right?
[17:39] <fde> hmm, packages.ubuntu.com seems to be down?
[17:39] <JonathanEllis> ikonia: Hi. Did you manage to have a look at my problem?
[17:39] <fde> Pizarro: depends if installing ia32-libs fixes the issue
[17:39] <erUSUL> Pizarro: it is a dinamically linked 32bit executable it surely needs the libs
[17:39] <Pizarro> NOW IT WORKED!!!!!!
[17:39] <seven^> when  downloading something, what does OEM mean?
[17:39] <Pizarro> I got all the folders there
[17:40]  * fde still doesn't think that a lib issue would return 'no such file or directory"
[17:40] <fde> Makes no sense at all
[17:40] <CPUFreak91> How can I get Evolution to stop complaining about not being able to create lock files? This is in several email folders, and the address book
[17:40] <erUSUL> fde: maybe the mssing files are the libs ?? but yes a really weird error msg
[17:40] <hmw_> Pizarro has the computer had some hardware issues? power failure or alike?
[17:40] <Pizarro> fde, now it worked : http://pastebin.com/m713536d4
[17:41] <Pizarro> hmw, ist has been on since last November 4Th
[17:41] <fde> What is this pbxctrl thing anyways?
[17:41] <hmw_> Pizarro maybe take a quick look to the logs...
[17:41] <Pizarro> fde,  a PBX software
[17:41]  * fde guessed that much
[17:41] <erUSUL> hmw_: the problem was the shared libs... the binary was 32 bit the system 64 bit . ia32-libs was missing
[17:42] <fde> Still not terribly enlightening
[17:42] <hmw_> erUSUL that results in a "file not found"??
[17:42] <fde> hmw_: apparently
[17:42] <hmw_> erUSUL the header probably fde
[17:42] <Pizarro> fde, it is a software that enables a phone recepcionist in your server, giving you the possibility to have SIP phone communication, PSTN comm, etc..
[17:42] <erUSUL> hmw_: i do not understand it either but it was worth trying; wasn't it ??
[17:43] <DVA5912> Why does it take wine so long to tstart programs?
[17:43] <Pizarro> What I really don't understand is how a hardware error can produce this...also my server has been on since November 4 without any problem
[17:43] <fde> DVA5912: lots of stuff to load
[17:43] <CPUFreak91> DVA5912: They're either bloated, or it's because WINE has to interpret non-Unix code ;)
[17:43] <egoleo> is there an alarm scheduler for gnome?
[17:44] <erUSUL> Pizarro: it wasn't a hardware error after all
[17:44] <fde> Pizarro: it didn't... you didn't have 32bit libs, and that software is 32bit...
[17:44] <hmw_> Pizarro the idea was that the hard drive might be confused or soemthing nevermind
[17:44] <hmw_> fde erUSUL Pizarro did you manage to start it now?
[17:44] <DVA5912> I would think it wouldn't take as long as two minutes
[17:44] <fde> hmw_: yes, his issue is fixed
[17:44] <erUSUL> hmw_: yes after installing the 32 bit libs
[17:44] <fde> DVA5912: what are you trying to load?
[17:44] <DVA5912> photochop CS$, but it does it to every program
[17:45] <Pizarro> Guys, yes now it is working properly
[17:45] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I am trying to get two screens working but I am a bit confused. I will be very grateful for any help, please. I am following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773624. I have followed sub-steps 4.1 thru 4.3 as I have two separate graphics adapters. The output of sub-step 4.1 and my xorg.conf are at http://pastebin.com/d79dfb69b. My first question: lspci returns plain numbers without the PCI: prefix so I have just put the plain numbers
[17:45] <Pizarro> After isntalling the 32 libs everything worked out
[17:45] <fde> DVA5912: doesn't here
[17:45] <DVA5912> fde, really? almoswt instantaneous?
[17:45] <fde> DVA5912: yes... but I only use it for PokerStars.NET ...
[17:45]  * DVA5912 thinks it may be something with the settings
[17:45] <Pizarro> But it was a really weard issue, I couldn't figure out that something was wrong with the libs just reading that "file or directory not found" message
[17:45] <genii> Pizarro: If you guys are paying for that app, bug the hell out of them for a 64 bit version
[17:45] <bakarat> ok, slightly annoying...i'm trying to setup a new system with encrypted partitions, but it won't let me go any further cause it's detecting an unecrypted swap from another drive...
[17:46] <bakarat> any ideas?
[17:46] <bakarat> (it's dual boot linux atm, one encrypted, one not)
[17:46] <Pizarro> genii, I will,
[17:46] <Pizarro> genii, definietly
[17:46] <fabouney> hi
[17:46] <blackpearl> Can i delete the contets of /var folder ????
[17:47] <NicEXE> how do I launch compiz-icon
[17:47] <fde> blackpearl: depends what you want to delete... most things in there shouldn't be though
[17:47] <genii> blackpearl: Um, you could but you probably will not want to, there are some important things in there
[17:47] <hmw_> NicEXE should be an icon in Application/System TOols
[17:47] <fabouney> i look for a software wich allow me to cut a part of a movie (such as virtualdub)
[17:47] <Pizarro> guys, thanks a lot
[17:47] <damijit> Hi, I'm using Intrepid, but I would like to use the "Alternate wallpaper" from Hardy (the leathery-looking one). Does anyone know where I can find it? (I've already googled around a bit)
[17:47] <NicEXE> hmw_: its not
[17:47] <blackpearl> fde : thnx for the reply
[17:47] <hmw_> Pizarro yw. i learned a new deatail, and that is good.
[17:47] <piranijus> lol my server downloading 28mb half hour and still not downloaded whete is the problem?
[17:48] <NicEXE> hmw_: ok I fixed it
[17:48] <hmw_> NicEXE try starting from terminal: fusion-icon
[17:48] <blackpearl> genii : like there are cache folder etc  etc. which one  can safely delete
[17:48] <eth01> might be an idea to give it a reboot @ pir**
[17:48] <Pizarro> see you later guys, bye
[17:48] <fde> fabouney: there are a few... kino and pitivi are simple... cinelerra is more advanced, and not in the repos currently....
[17:49] <kwtm> Hi!  Got a question about Abiword here:
[17:49] <fabouney> thanks fde
[17:50] <kwtm> How does one define a key macro in Abiword?  Say I want to insert the date with Ctrl-D (or whatever) without having to press Alt-I, then select date, then deal with the dialog box.  There's some GNOME way to do it but I'm used to KDE. Any help?
[17:50] <blackpearl> I wish to add .torrent files which are stored on my physical disk in transmission....how to do it ? Transmission ADD button is not opening my physical disk ????
[17:51] <yomomma> i got news for you, ubuntu devs can't even get the basic network setting to work properly half the time
[17:51] <blackpearl> {transmission in ubuntu0
[17:53] <fde> yomomma: neither can Windows, its up to the manufacturers and OEM's to install that stuff usually, Linux has a much higher success rate though
[17:53] <piranijus> reebooted system, i get 2kb when downloading file when my xp get 1mb, what is wrong with ubuntu???
[17:53] <fde> yomomma: No OS supports more hardware out of the box than Linux.
[17:53] <eth01> how do you mean piranijus?
[17:54] <eth01> whats your connection speed..?
[17:54] <piranijus> when it was 7.10 i was having 10mb/s
[17:54] <piranijus> today i installed 8.10 and i have slow internet
[17:54] <blackpearl> how can i check IF i am "Root" in Ubuntu ???
[17:54] <yomomma> i'm not gonna argue with that , i'm sure it does
[17:54] <eth01> which mirror are you using?
[17:54] <piranijus> and slow intranet too
[17:54] <eth01> how ABOUT you change to another :-)
[17:55] <hmw_> fde: seriously? i mean "out of the box" rly? not with ubuntu offline
[17:55] <fde> blackpearl: whoami  ... but you should never be root
[17:55] <fde> hmw_: yes... it is fact
[17:55] <DVA5912> Anyone had success installing Dreamweaver 8?
[17:55] <piranijus> i tired download same file in windows and ubuntu
[17:55] <Zzeiss> blackpearl: well, make that "almost never".  If you have to be root, something is already not quite right.
[17:55] <fde> DVA5912: bother #winehq
[17:55] <DVA5912> :O
[17:55] <DVA5912> it runs
[17:56] <fde> hmw_: Windows has comparatively few drivers out of the box
[17:56] <Cobra-the-joker> hey there every one
[17:56] <Cobra-the-joker> i am here having fedora linux
[17:56] <fde> hmw_: OS X is second
[17:56] <hmw_> fde hmm... if you say so... its just my currend bad expirience
[17:56] <GeorgeAScott> how long before petabyte disks are available
[17:57] <fde> GeorgeAScott: I think there are some, but they're in the multiple thousands currently
[17:57] <Cobra-the-joker> but i heard that ubu is recommended by my laptop firm here
[17:57] <hmw_> fde i dont get my video banshee up since i upgraded
[17:57] <Cobra-the-joker> so i wanted to know some stuff before involving into ubu ...pls help
[17:57] <GeorgeAScott> fde: would the current ubuntu support them without hassle?
[17:57] <fde> hmw_: ok, that is one card that one driver supports...
[17:58] <fde> GeorgeAScott: sure... it currently supports up to 16 terrabytes in ext3
[17:58] <hmw_> fde this shouldnt become an argument, but more a request for help *g*
[17:58] <Cobra-the-joker> is it more powerfull than fedora ..or same ...or least ....and what about wireless broadcom configuration
[17:58] <GeorgeAScott> fde: now who really needs 16tb?
[17:58] <fde> hmw_: Nvidia Banshee right? Or am I mistaken?
[17:59] <hmw_> fde the card doenst even initialize anymore... buntu hangs if i try to use tdfx
[17:59] <toehio> what does this mean and what should i do? "The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libpar-packer-perl: Depends: libpar-perl (>= 0.977) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[17:59] <blackpearl> is anybody using "Transmission" for .torrent files ????
[17:59] <hmw_> fde it worked in 7.10
[17:59] <fde> GeorgeAScott: Large companies need much more than that... imagine google or yahoo having less than 10x that
[17:59] <genii> GeorgeAScott: You'd be surprised how fast terabytes can get chewed up
[17:59] <fde> hmw_: great, that isn't relevant
[17:59] <GeorgeAScott> blackpearl: i've used transmission before.
[18:00] <piranijus> RX packets:991 errors:88 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:88
[18:00] <piranijus> TX packets:894 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
[18:00] <piranijus> There is wired connection why there is so many errors?
[18:00] <fde> GeorgeAScott: (for what its worth, both Yahoo and Google do indeed use Linux extensively, so its not just an example I pulled out of the air)
[18:00] <hmw_> fde why? i think, it had worked, so it should still do... or do i have to wait, until the work in tdfx goes on until it will work again some day?
[18:00] <GeorgeAScott> blackpearl; with success.. would still be using it but im "tethered" and my provider will supposedly rip me a new one if im caught using data that way.
[18:00] <fde> hmw_: is it ati or nvidia?
[18:00] <fde> hmw_: a lot has changed in the world of xorg since then... so its not relevant.
[18:01] <hmw_> fde 3dfx Interactive Voodoo Banshee
[18:01] <blackpearl> GeorgeAScott : in transmission (in Ubuntu) it is saying permission denied for .torrent files BUT in Windows it is woking fine (with uTorrent)
[18:01] <dcider> blackpearl: i use ktorrent
[18:01] <hmw_> fde i will have to install 7.10 again, if i cant fix it, because i need that extra screen
[18:02] <mgolisch> blackpearl: it says that when doing what exactly?
[18:02] <dcider> didnt like transmission
[18:02] <dcider> limited settings
[18:02] <GeorgeAScott> blackpearl:  i installed utorrent thru wine.
[18:03] <pen> is there a tutorial on xsession?
[18:03] <pen> I don't know how to make it work
[18:03] <blackpearl> mgolisch : when i add .torrent file in transmssion and click start (after few seconds it says so)
[18:03] <pen> !xsession
[18:03] <mgolisch> blackpearl: maybe it tries to save it somewhere you dont have write access to?
[18:04] <blackpearl> GeorgeAScott : i dont know how to install uTorrent thru wine, BUt i wnt to use Transmission
[18:04] <beast> Deluge is a good bittorrent client
[18:04] <mgolisch> yeah deluge is great
[18:04] <mgolisch> thats what i use too
[18:04] <pen> is there a xsession tutorial?
[18:04] <mgolisch> pen: xsession?
[18:04] <mgolisch> whats that?
[18:05] <xjk1> i ran apt-get install ethereal, and i got a ethtool or something, where is the gui ethereal ? running ethereal in console doesnt work
[18:05] <hmw_> fde irrelevant, because the card is old and xorg modern, and there is nobody to fix such an old driver? or did you mean something else?
[18:05] <blackpearl> mgolisch : may be you are right...how can i check if a folder i am saving to have read-write permission AND if i dont have permission how can i change the permission
[18:05] <pen> mgolisch: xsession is used to start programs I think
[18:06] <b^j> i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 from 8.04 and now when i do something that generates a lot of network traffic (e.g. nmap <IP_ADDRESS>/8) i get the following error "no buffer space available" and dmesg gives me a bunch of messages stating "Neighbour table overflow".   has anyone encountered this or knows how to fix it?
[18:06] <hmw_> xjk1 ethereal is now wireshark, maybe this is helpful
[18:06] <blackpearl> mgolisch : i think you are right it seems i dont have permission to write to particular folder...how can i change the permisson for writing/saving ?
[18:06] <xjk1> hmw_: whats wireshark
[18:06] <hmw_> xjk1 the new name of ethereal
[18:06] <fde> hmw_: lspci | grep -i voodoo  ... stop rambling and show me the output of this file, note I have no vested interest in your continued Ubuntu use, or whether you downgrade, so threats don't bother me
[18:07] <mgolisch> blackpearl: maybe you should find out where it tries to save the stuff first
[18:08] <hmw_> fde 00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo Banshee (rev 03)
[18:08] <xjk1> hmw_: wireshark cant see my interface :o
[18:08] <fde> hmw_: according to what I've found, it can't be that, but I guess I'll keep looking  :S
[18:08] <blackpearl> mgolisch : actually i define the path i.e, it is saving to /mnt/shared.
[18:09] <mgolisch> blackpearl: what is /mnt/shared?
[18:09] <hmw_> fde sorry, i dont mean to threaten or anything... i have been working on this for nearly 20 hrs now and i am just a little frustrated. sry, srsly!
[18:09] <marshall> what is the terminal command to see what groups a user is part of?
[18:10] <b^j> marshall, groups
[18:10] <mgolisch> marshall: id should tell you if running as the user or groups
[18:10] <deever> anyone who brought XDMCP over NAT to work?
[18:10] <Linuturk> how do I tell evolution to move a message to a certain folder when deleted?
[18:10] <fde> hmw_: I don't care how frustrated you are, such statements don't make me very willing to assist you  :/
[18:10] <mgolisch> deever: why would you want that?
[18:10] <fde> hmw_: I buy hardware that I know works on Ubuntu so I don't encounter issues, so I really have no sympathy
[18:10] <blackpearl> mgolisch : /mnt/shared is created by me - when the last time i was logged into ubuntu (i am using ubuntu on vbox wtih wINxp as my host OS)
[18:10] <LF|Irssi> wireshark isnt the only sniffer out there, just search for 'sniffer' in terminal, 'aptitude search sniffer'  ,  Snort is pretty cool in my opinion , maybe try that :)
[18:10] <marshall> how do i add myself to a group?
[18:10] <Izinucs> Linuturk: you mean to a location other than trash?
[18:11] <ikonia> hmw_: be aware certain old drivers are becoming less and less supporyted in the new versions of xorg, more so with compiz
[18:11] <deever> mgolisch: do you know that XDMCP is?
[18:11] <fde> hmw_: anyway, do you have libglide3 installed?
[18:11] <b^j> blackpearl, can you type "mount" and tell me what the output is?
[18:11] <mgolisch> blackpearl: so /mnt/shares is some filesystem exported via vbox?
[18:11] <blackpearl> How to chnage permission of folder to make it writable  ?????
[18:11] <mgolisch> deever: its used to remotly query a desktop manager greeter isnt it?
[18:11] <ikonia> blackpearl: chmod,
[18:11] <b^j> blackpearl, chmod
[18:11] <Static--> is there a way to make the GDM into your lock screen, currently the lock theme isnt even close to whats enabled
[18:11] <Izinucs> blackpearl: but what folder do you need to change?
[18:11] <hmw_> fde i have tried that with the setup i wiped today
[18:12] <Lynx_> Hi! would anyone by chance be able to help me with the driver for microdia webcams?
[18:12] <fde> hmw_: that doesn't answer my question
[18:12] <ferry1997> ciao
[18:12] <blackpearl> ikonia : chmod wtith what parameters /
[18:12] <ferry1997> !list
[18:12] <hmw_> fde wiped today... so: not anymore.
[18:12] <ikonia> blackpearl: depends what you want with owner/group/world
[18:12] <deever> mgolisch: so it is! :)
[18:12] <fde> hmw_: ok... then install it... its required
[18:12] <marshall> b^j, mgolisch: how do i add myself to a group?
[18:13] <maxbaldwin> marshall: adduser <you> <group>
[18:13] <der|kunstler> anybody knows PyGtk here ?
[18:13] <mgolisch> deever: sounds like a bad idea to do that over the internet, iam sure its awefuly slow
[18:13] <maxbaldwin> marshall: but don't quote me on it
[18:13] <mgolisch> marshall: sudo gpasswd -a user group or so
[18:13] <pen> hi
[18:13] <pen> xsession doesn't work
[18:13] <b^j> marshalll usermod -a -G <group> <user> i think
[18:13] <UnknownUser56> Tried bootpart with all available partitions .. none of them booted ,going to overwrite the MBR :/
[18:14] <mgolisch> pen: what do you mean?
[18:14] <UnknownUser56> !grub
[18:14] <pen> mgolisch: do you know what xsession do?
[18:14] <Anarka> heys :)can anyone give a hand with this error msg .ibtoolize: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) conflicts with ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS=-I m4      autoreconf: libtoolize failed with exit status: 1
[18:14] <marshall> maxbaldwin, that looks like it was the right command, but i accidentally added www-data to group jeff, how do i undo what i did -_-
[18:14] <der|kunstler> anybody knows PyGtk here ?
[18:14] <fde> hmw_: after you have that, it should just work from what I'm reading... using the tdfx driver....
[18:14] <deever> mgolisch: no internet, only nat! ;)
[18:15] <hmw_> fde yes
[18:15] <britishseapower> My sister runs a language school, they currently have 3 PCs available for student browsing. They're a PITA, windows of course, always getting viruses etc. My idea is to put ubuntu on them, either in it's native state or some sort of "kiosk" mode? any tips?
[18:15] <deever> but this is detail...
[18:15] <maxbaldwin> marshall: deluser <you> <group> , but don't quote me on that either. man deluser might be better.
[18:15] <blackpearl> ikonia : i simply want to make my folder (/mnt/shared) writable so that "transmission" torrent client is able to save the files to folder
[18:15] <b^j> marshall, you could just delete it www-data from that line in your /etc/group file
[18:15] <fde> hmw_: ensure that xserver-xorg-video-tdfx is also installed... then just restart X
[18:15] <eth01> b^j: no.
[18:15] <eth01> that will cock things up.
[18:15] <mgolisch> deever: maybe lookup the ports involved and forward that to the box you want to query the greeter of?
[18:16] <GeorgeAScott> fde: i'd love to work for google.
[18:16] <fde> hmw_: that should be it
[18:16] <Izinucs> britishseapower: the first user created always has admin privilidges with sudo.. just create another account called guest w/ a password of guest and limit what can be done.
[18:16] <fde> GeorgeAScott: me too... that's not a support question though
[18:16] <blackpearl> i simply want to make my folder (/mnt/shared - created by ME) writable so that "transmission" torrent client is able to save the files to folder
[18:16] <maxbaldwin> eth01: does my command work? or will that cock things up also
[18:16] <ikonia> blackpearl: you need to make it writeable to the user that transmissions run as as 7 is read/write executable so chmod 755 would be writeable by owner, read/exe group, read/exe world
[18:16] <b^j> blackpearl, please give us the output of mount
[18:16] <ikonia> blackpearl: man chmod will give more info
[18:16] <adub> where are my irc conversations logged to
[18:16] <adub> i use xchat
[18:16] <maxbaldwin> adub: what client?
[18:16] <maxbaldwin> erm, nevermind.
[18:16] <hmw_> fde xorg log says the driver has been loaded, no error message, no graphic card initializing, and most of the time lockup. verified card still works in win, and (sorry for mentioning) had worked in 7.10
[18:16] <blackpearl> b^j :wait i 'll give you the out just now
[18:17] <fde> adub: it doesn't log by default... settings > Preferences > logging
[18:17] <hmw_> fde but let me try once again
[18:17] <GeorgeAScott> fde: sorry it was a reply to an earlier statement you made.  i'm actually looking for support with gnome_voice_control... still
[18:17] <ikonia> blackpearl: use a pasteinb, dont flood this channel
[18:17] <britishseapower> Izinucs: ok ta... What about some sort of LIVECD, like remove the HArd disks or soemthing
[18:17] <Izinucs> adub: logging in xchat isn't on by default.. location is probably ~/.xchat
[18:17] <britishseapower> or automatically reimage each day ?
[18:17] <maxbaldwin> did it work, marshall/
[18:17] <britishseapower> am wondering if there is a linux distribution specificially for this job (internet kiosk)
[18:17] <adub> thanksa guys
[18:17] <Izinucs> britishseapower: the livecd would work but slow.. you could put the live cd on a usb stick and it would be quicker but still not as fast as HD
[18:18] <MFen> what's up with pidgin today?
[18:18] <blackpearl> b^j : here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/76503/
[18:18] <britishseapower> k, just thinking things through
[18:18] <Izinucs> MFen: mine works fine.
[18:18] <mgolisch> no idea never used it
[18:18] <marshall> maxbaldwin, i went into /etc/group and removed the line that appeared to have jeff as a group
[18:18] <britishseapower> at this stage...windows is a pain at the mo
[18:18] <MFen> Izinucs: yours doesn't push out certificate warnings?
[18:18] <Izinucs> britishseapower: "at the moment?"  you mean "most always"
[18:19] <Izinucs> MFen: nope
[18:19] <britishseapower> lol
[18:19] <fde> hmw_: let me say again, xrandr has broken binary compat from the old version of xorg, so all drivers had to be rewritten to work with it. Nothing that applied to Xorg in 7.10 is applicable to 8.10
[18:19] <MFen> i'm getting all these certificate warnings from pidgin. it asks you to verify each certificate but doesn't show you anything but the damn fingerprint! how is that useful?
[18:19] <britishseapower> true
[18:19] <blackpearl> ikonia : i will use man command when i am Not able to access this Channel
[18:19] <ferri> ciao
[18:19] <Izinucs> MFen: are you using it to log into aim or yahoo accounts?
[18:19] <ferri> !list
[18:19] <Administrator> maybe you aren't certified to use pidgin
[18:19] <fde> hmw_: also, the fact that it works with Windows is even less meaningful
[18:19] <ikonia> blackpearl: you'll learn a lot more
[18:19] <hmw_> fde aaah! finally i get to know, what happened... that is an explanation, i can live with... thanks... still reconfiguring the conf... maybe i am somehow licky
[18:19] <Lynx_> Where would I most likely change settings for my webcam driver?
[18:19] <ikonia> blackpearl: rather than us giving you blind numbers, better to learn how to use chmod, it's very handy
[18:19] <hmw_> fde: just checked to verify that the hardware still is ok
[18:20] <ikonia> blackpearl: I've already given you a very high level overview
[18:20] <MFen> Izinucs: jabber (gtalk), msn, and irc are all ssl-ized and all showing warnings
[18:20] <b^j> blackpearl, i don't see /mnt/shared in there, is it mounted currently?
[18:20] <fde> hmw_: just leave it without an xorg.conf ... it should autoconfigure
[18:20] <blackpearl> ikonia : i promise i will
[18:20] <mgolisch> b^j: acording to mount its not :)
[18:20] <ikonia> blackpearl: ok, good luck with it
[18:20] <mgolisch> maybe its some vbox exported shit, no idea how that works
[18:20] <ikonia> mgolisch: that language is not needed
[18:20] <mgolisch> never used that feature
[18:20] <Izinucs> MFen: ok.. sorry I can't help with that but it might be something with the ssl connection.. I don't know how to diagnose that though.
[18:21] <MFen> Izinucs: i'm asking in #pidgin. i suspect a very recent security update enabledit
[18:21] <blackpearl> b^j : that is what i am asking how to mount my /mnt/shared folder Or how to make it writable
[18:21] <fde> hmw_: you can mess with setting later once we know it at least works...
[18:21] <dt84> hi. I can't open some original DVD disks in 8.10. they all open with no problem in my DVD player and in XP. I guess I need to install some packages, but which?
[18:21] <ikonia> blackpearl: chmod will make it writeabl as I've toldyou
[18:21] <ikonia> blackpearl: it should auto mount when you plug the disk in
[18:22] <fde> hmw_: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf* ~/   for now so it doesn't load one, you can move them back later
[18:22] <fde> hmw_: sudo that
[18:23] <noodlesgc> !dvd | dt84
[18:23] <b^j> blackpearl, ok, i thought it was already mounted for some reason, i wanted to make sure it wasn't something silly like the fs was mounted read only
[18:23] <dcider> ive got a msi 9600xt card using the ati FGLRX driver, if i set visual effects to anything but off google earth flickers so bad i cant use it, any ideas???
[18:23] <fde> !dvdcss > dt84
[18:23] <fde> !libdvdcss > dt84
[18:23] <blackpearl> mgolisch : <blackpearl: so /mnt/shared is some filesystem exported via vbox?> no i created that folder in /mnt dir
[18:23] <mgolisch> dcider: yeah dont use compiz
[18:23] <mgolisch> :)
[18:23] <hmw_> fde lockup again, only ssh works now. i think it is not possible at the time
[18:24] <kevin__> i just went to kubuntu i guess? either way the only way I can get to the login screen is allowing the comp to use low graphics mode and then run the session under kde.  When i use gnome low graphics its scrambled
[18:24] <fde> hmw_: then I guess you're going back to 7.10
[18:24] <Xhriss> how i can change the port of a IRC network(Ubuntu 8.10; >>>XChat<<<)
[18:24] <dcider> mgolisch: thx....
[18:24] <blackpearl> b^j : so can i have the solution to mount /mnt/shared folder ???
[18:24] <Izinucs> blackpearl: if you're trying to share between a vm in vbox and your main install, if you catch them at the right time they are very helpful in #vbox.. the issue is vbox setup I believe.
[18:24] <ikonia> blackpearl: it should auto mount when you plug it in
[18:24] <hmw_> fde i will be happy with the old version, too, it was quite cool already. maybe i find new hardware or they update stuff. thanks for your help
[18:25] <Xhriss> how i can change the port of a IRC network(Ubuntu 8.10; >>>XChat<<<)???
[18:25] <Xhriss> please help
[18:25] <b^j> blackpearl, what does ls -l /mnt give you
[18:25] <blackpearl> Izinucs : seems you are lost on what i am asking..sorry
[18:25] <fde> Xhriss: XChat > Network List ... edit the server ... at the top
[18:25] <Xhriss> k thx
[18:25] <dt84> fde, noodlesgc: thanks
[18:25] <Izinucs> blackpearl: me too.. sorry 'bout that.
[18:25] <fw1> where does network manager store vpn connections?
[18:26] <kevin__> anyone know about my issue, only being able to use kde and only in low grapgics mode?
[18:26] <pen> how do I make xsession work?
[18:26] <pen> xsession is not working
[18:26] <Izinucs> Xhriss: open the server list and "edit".. on the line listing the irc address add :<port_number> to it.. like for freenode.. I have chat.freenode.net:8001
[18:27] <fde> fw1: no idea... maybe dpkg -L network-manager-vpnc will be englightening
[18:27] <blackpearl> b^j : please see this ..for ls -l /mnt output
[18:27] <fw1> fde: not really, it writes it config per user
[18:27] <ikonia> blackpearl: is this an external disk
[18:28] <pen> xsession is not working even i follow the guide
[18:28] <pen> how do I make it work
[18:28] <mgolisch> pen: what guide? and what is xsession?
[18:28] <fde> fw1: well, uhh, no it doesn't... /etc/NetworkManager stuff is system wide
[18:28] <b^j> blackpearl, i think you forgot the link
[18:28] <fw1> fde: well i can't see the two configs i wrote for myself
[18:28] <fde> fw1: its probably actually network-manager-pptp that you want though... vpnc is for cisco stuff
[18:28] <icqnumber> kevin__, tell more about your problem, that everyone can follow you
[18:29] <fde> fw1: because those aren't part of the package  :/
[18:29] <pen> mgolisch: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession
[18:29] <blackpearl> b^j : please see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/76505/ ..for ls -l /mnt output
[18:29] <Zerb_Riss> has anyone used GNUMP3D with Intrepid?
[18:29] <ikonia> blackpearl: is this an external disk
[18:29] <fde> fw1: thought you wanted to know where the configs go though, not where yours are?
[18:29] <fw1> fde: well the configs it writes
[18:29] <ugeman92> hello

[18:30] <demontager> Is it possible to run Taken 5 on  PCSX2 ?
[18:30] <b^j> blackpearl, you could try "sudo chown -R <your username> /mnt/shared
[18:30] <hmw_> ugeman92 no worries... ask your question
[18:30] <mgolisch> pen: what exactly are you trying to do, and what part of that doesnt work?
[18:30] <fw1> grep -r is your friend
[18:30] <ugeman92> i need extractor for flac and log & cue
[18:30] <b^j> blackpearl, as long as this is only for storing files that are yours that shouldn't mess anything up

[18:34] <Sorkvild> Hello, I was hoping I might get some help with the no sound issue on Intel iMacs on 8.10

[18:35] <mgolisch> jasuus: you can also edit the config files of the pm scripts so those do that on their own when coming back from suspend
[18:35] <kharloss> ?
[18:35] <noodlesgc> Aperculum dd
[18:35] <ikonia> Aperculum: copy a all the data across, updates the fstab and menu.lst with new block id's
[18:35] <Pretto_away> maxbaldwin, yes.. but not in   this single machine... but if i boot with 7.10  all  works  good
[18:35] <mgolisch> pen: why dont you just use your desktops applikation autostart feature?
[18:35] <ikonia> Aperculum: I don't recommend dd untless the disks are identical
[18:35] <kevin__> i just went to kubuntu i guess? either way the only way I can get to the login screen is allowing the comp to use low graphics mode and then run the session under kde.  When i use gnome low graphics its scrambled
[18:35] <Aperculum> yeah
[18:35] <zer0o> hi guys how do i modify in kopete the "received files destination folder" from "home" to another one?
[18:36] <maxbaldwin> Pretto_away: hmm. No idea. :\
[18:36] <jasuus> mgolisch, thanks for your help. you are kinda speaking above my head here...whats a google term to search?
[18:36] <Pretto_away> maxbaldwin, thank you  for your attention anyway
[18:36] <hmw_> kharloss cat /etc/resolv.conf
[18:36] <maxbaldwin> Pretto_away: sure, you may have better luck on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[18:36] <corky`> updating from 8.04 to 8.10 takes AGES! >_<
[18:37] <mgolisch> jasuus: the problem is the networking device isnt properly reinitialized on wakeup thats why you need to reload its drivers, so these initialize the device again so its in a state you can use it
[18:37] <corky`> Man, First the downloading, The installing... Man.. takes me over 2 hours
[18:37] <noodlesgc> corky yes I can take some time
[18:37] <lobsterfestation> puppy linux loads fast.  try it
[18:37] <noodlesgc> *it
[18:37] <Pretto_away> maxbaldwin,  I am  thinking about installing 7.10  and make an  upgrade using 8.10 cd
[18:37] <corky`> Always better then a certain operating system about we do not speak noodlesgc
[18:37] <ikonia> lobsterfestation: who are you talking to ?
[18:38] <jasuus> mgolisch, how do i reload the kernel?
[18:38] <DrX> How can you ensure that all users can write files to a specific partition without exception regardless of OS (right now getting Insufficient Priviledge errors)?
[18:38] <corky`> DrX is it mounted as rw ?
[18:38] <ikonia> DrX: you can only set that on the current OS
[18:38] <corky`> and are the permissions correct?
[18:38] <Saint1993> is there any programs on linux like itunes?
[18:38] <DrX> ikonia: huh?
[18:38] <ikonia> DrX: chmod -R 777 will make it world writeable
[18:38] <lobsterfestation> oops.  I'll write that over.  corky: try puppy linux over ubuntu
[18:38] <Saint1993> I need to put songs on my iphone :)
[18:38] <maxbaldwin> Pretto_away: sure, that may work
[18:39] <scizzo-> Saint1993: rhythmbox?
[18:39] <mgolisch> jasuus: you need to findout how the kernelmodule/s(drivers) for your networking device are named then you can reload them using the command sudo modprobe -r modulename_here;sudo modprobe modulename_here
[18:39] <ejer> !ath9k
[18:39] <maxbaldwin> !iphone | Saint1993
[18:39] <kharloss> i try install a GNUPanel and a question in setup is " write the ip for the host that can use your DNS "  my IP is public , so what i have to fill in  ?
[18:39] <maxbaldwin> !itunes | Saint1993
[18:39] <DrX> ikonia: oh, so if I want to do that for directory subdir1 it would be chmod -R 777 /subdir1
[18:39] <mgolisch> jasuus: but the suspend scripts ubuntu uses have a builtin facility to do that, you just need to supply the names of the kernelmodules in its config file
[18:39] <hmw_> DrX FAT32 is fully open to pretty anthing (depending on how you mounted it). ntfs can be read from windows and xp, ext3 is also readible from within windows, but you need extra software
[18:39] <ikonia> DrX:yu
[18:40] <jasuus> mgolisch, ah ok
[18:40] <Zzeiss> Saint1993: and to talk to your ipod, use gtkpod.
[18:40] <ikonia> yup
[18:40] <hmw_> DrX "windows and linux" of course
[18:40] <corky`> ubottu, Saint1993 try Amarok, I have it in ubuntu, Doesn't look state of the art, Yet has some eye candy and functions that are nice, And ofcourse a music library!
[18:40] <mgolisch> jasuus: so the first step would be identifing your networkhardware to find out what the drivers are
[18:40] <pen> mgolisch: because I'm using xmonad
[18:40] <pen> mgolisch: it is a tiling windows manager
[18:40] <corky`> jasuus, lspci
[18:40] <pen> mgolisch: I don't use gnome applications in xmonad
[18:41] <DrX> ikonia: what if i want to later change it so subdir1 can only be written to by root but all subdirectories of /subdir1 can be written to by WORLD but not /subdir1 iteself?
[18:41] <mgolisch> pen: i use awesome :)
[18:41] <Cobra-the-joker> pls ....is a PC with 512 MB ram capable of running ubuntu smoothly
[18:41] <ikonia> DrX: chmod 700 subdir1
[18:41] <luis> Hello. I am trying to use the pfmon application but it complains that I don't have the perfmon kernel module. What's the most straightforward way to install this module?
[18:41] <noodlesgc> cobra 512 should be fine. But if it is too slow, try Xubuntu
[18:41] <corky`> luis, what distro are you on?
[18:42] <chris__> jemand deutsch?
[18:42] <DrX> does the chmod -R 777 handle subdirectories?
[18:42] <luis> corky`: Ubuntu 8.10
[18:42] <corky`> chris__, no, Yet I am dutch
[18:42] <Cobra-the-joker> i have a dual core 1.73 processor
[18:42] <corky`> luis, hmm oh wait, I thought I was in #linux... Well open synaptic
[18:42] <chris__> =/
[18:42] <b^j> since upgrading to ubuntu 8.10 i have been getting error messages when i generate a lot of network traffic (e.g. nmap <IP_ADDRESS>/8). i get "no buffer space available" at the console and "neighbour table overflow" in dmesg.  Anyone seen this or know how to fix it?
[18:42] <jasuus> corky`, ok, what am i looking for here?
[18:42] <Cobra-the-joker> not very crappy ....iguess ....i have fedora 9 working here well too
[18:42] <noodlesgc> cobra-the-joker it should work fine, but if it doesn't try xubuntu
[18:42] <hmw_> Cobra-the-joker i've got a 800MHz/512MB machine with compiz running, its a little slow, but usable. without compiz it can play any video/dvd very well
[18:43] <mgolisch> pen: do you need to start additional binarys than your windowmanager? like does it have builtin keybingdings and stuff to open a terminal? the easiest way to create a new xsession is by placing a .desktop file into /usr/share/xsessions/ maybe have a look at the existing files there to get an idea
[18:43] <pen> mgolisch: then how are you using gnome session?
[18:43] <corky`> jasuus, well, look for something like your network card there
[18:43] <Cobra-the-joker> hmw ....comforting
[18:43] <mgolisch> pen: iam not, i just asumed you are using gnome
[18:43] <luis> corky`: apt-cache search perfmon doesn't yield anything I don't have already installed.
[18:43] <kitche> b^j: means stop doing that since in essence your overflowing your network
[18:43] <DrX> ikonia: how do i specify i want the chmod -R 777 /subdir1 to apply to subdirectories but the chmod 700 subdir1 to restrict writing to root for subdir1 but NOT subdirectories?
[18:43] <Zzeiss> Is there any way to tell the networking system to use 802.11B _only_?  Mine's trying to go to a 'g' that is too far away for consistent connectivity.
[18:43] <pen> mgolisch: I choose xmonad session from gdm
[18:43] <ikonia> DrX: perfect
[18:43] <sambagirl> there are 2 xchats
[18:43] <kitche> b^j: the svn version I know actually works fine with a lot of network traffic
[18:43] <pen> mgolisch: in /usr/share/xsessions/? but that requires sudo or something
[18:43] <lobsterfestation> UBUNTU SUKS.  (Good thing I said that in the right chat room.)
[18:44] <sambagirl> one is xchate gnome
[18:44] <b^j> kitche, the svn version of what?
[18:44] <mgolisch> pen: if you have a session for that allready, forget what i said
[18:44] <kitche> b^j: of nmap
[18:44] <corky`> luis, libpfm3-3.2-dev too?
[18:44] <sambagirl> now it wont work after a command i entered
[18:44] <mgolisch> pen: so you are just looking into starting aditional programs on startup ? yes?
[18:44] <DrX> ikonia: thanks!!!
[18:44] <b^j> kitche, its not an nmap issue, anything that generates a lot of traffic does it
[18:44] <luis> corky`: yes.
[18:44] <jasuus> corky mgolisch http://paste.ubuntu.com/76510/
[18:44] <blackpearl> b^j : can you tell me the command again i got disconnect from net and my computer booted.
[18:45] <ikonia> DrX: no problem
[18:45] <pen> mgolisch: yes, that's why I mentioned xsession
[18:45] <corky`> ikonia, nice hammer
[18:45] <corky`> :)
[18:45] <corky`> luis, your out of luck with me buddy. :(
[18:45] <b^j> blackpearl, sudo chown -R <your user name> /mnt/shared
[18:45] <luis> corky`: thanks anyway!
[18:45] <kitche> b^j: here<EMAIL_ADDRESS>like I said you reached the maxium number of connections
[18:46]  * corky` pulls up his belt to brag about "Just doin' ma' job luis"
[18:46] <kharloss> i try install a GNUPanel and a question in setup is " write the ip for the host that can use your DNS "  my IP is public , so what i have to fill in  ?
[18:46] <ikonia> kharloss: I suggest you use your internal ip
[18:46] <ikonia> kharloss: don't want to open that up to the public
[18:46] <b^j> kitche, i figured that, i am not finding solutions to this though
[18:47] <UnknownUSSR> I have followed this guide [ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub ],and on step 6 everything is find until ls /mnt/root/boot which is empty although I setup GRUB on what it return (dh0,5) ,any suggestions ?
[18:47] <corky`> ikonia, look at his mask
[18:47] <kitche> b^j: have to recompile your kernel with a different stack
[18:47] <anger_> Hi!
[18:47] <jerbear> any way to make X forwarding over ssh a little more responsive?
[18:47] <UnknownUSSR> I mount the device and see that /boot is literally empty
[18:47] <anger_> How are you supposed to save iptables configuration in ubuntu?
[18:47] <UnknownUSSR> on that partition ,there is another that has grub installed on it
[18:48] <WormDrink> hi
[18:48] <ikonia> corky`: am I missing something ?
[18:48] <WormDrink> Can i boot of a extended partition ?
[18:48] <anger_> fedora had /etc/sysconfig/iptables, is there something similar in ubuntu?
[18:48] <blackpearl> b^j : what took you so long to understand to tell me this command sudo chown -R <your username> /mnt/shared...VOILA it worked :)..thanx
[18:48] <ejer> !ufw | anger_
[18:48] <Cobra-the-joker> is there is a gui application for network managment ?
[18:49] <corky`> "<ikonia> kharloss: I suggest you use your internal ip, kharloss: don't want to open that up to the public", If you looked at his mask, It was just an IP to me! ;-)
[18:49] <r00tinthebox> yeah!
[18:49] <pen> mgolisch: brb
[18:49] <r00tinthebox> ack\
[18:49] <b^j> blackpearl, i wanted to know if there were other issues, like the fs was mounted ro
[18:49] <corky`> And ikonia, So what if they have your IP?, If you have a good secured PC, Your safe.
[18:49] <w0ls0n> hello all. How can I increase my screen res? It only goes up to 800x600? I can't find the place to change what type of monitor I have.
[18:49] <ejer> !firewall | anger_
[18:49] <blackpearl> b^j : wht is fs command ?
[18:49] <corky`> w0ls0n, what vid card? nvidia or ati?
[18:49] <w0ls0n> neither, it's onboard
[18:50] <hmw_> UnknownUSSR but the /boot directory is there?
[18:50] <b^j> blackpearl, sorry, i wanted to make sure there wasn't another issue like the file system was mounted readonly
[18:50] <corky`> ehm, I know of manual configs, Sorry :X
[18:50] <corky`> brb reboot!
[18:51] <UnknownUSSR> hmw_:yes ...
[18:51] <Pretto_away> maxbaldwin, solved starting  with safe graphics
[18:51] <DrX> ikonia: it didn't work... i'm still getting "Insufficient priviledge" errors
[18:51] <ikonia> DrX: please show me ls -la /subdir1 in a pastebin please
[18:52] <UnknownUSSR> hmm ... sudo grub-install gave an error ,let me pastebin it
[18:52] <UnknownUSSR> !paste
[18:52] <ejer> anybody know a fix for ath9k instability?
[18:52] <anger_> ejer, hehe thanks, didn't really have experience with these gui configurators
[18:53] <ejer> anger_: iptables can also be manipulated directly
[18:53] <mgolisch> pen: you have to select Xclients-Session in gdm it then executes whatever is in your ~/.xsession file, for me atleast
[18:53] <pochi_> can some one help me with touchscreen and libsvga?
[18:53] <pen> mgolisch: hm
[18:53] <anger_> ejer, I know, I just didn't find out how I'm supposed to save the configuration
[18:53] <pen> mgolisch: I see
[18:53] <pen> mgolisch: I will try now
[18:54] <saml> what's burnp6 utility?
[18:54] <maxbaldwin> Pretto_away: cool!
[18:54] <ejer> anger_: this is a good method http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/iptables-save.html
[18:54] <UnknownUSSR> Pasted sudo grub-install output -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/76512/
[18:54] <sambagirl> if i change the speed of my processor does that actually happen or is that just eye candy?
[18:55] <saml> is there a command that maxes out CPU?
[18:55] <sambagirl> i see the option at the top of my taskbar
[18:55] <sambagirl> saml something to do with power management i suspect
[18:56] <anger_> ejer, yeah, I just still would have to modify the init scripts with that one?
[18:56] <saml> sambagirl: thanks. it seems cpuburn package has it
[18:56] <ejer> UnknownUSSR: you are trying to fix grub by reinstalling it? If so, you should be using setup (hd0) to install to MBR unless you have something else going on
[18:56] <sambagirl> ahh ok saml
[18:56] <hmw_pidgin> UnknownUSSR: since you want grub to be the boot loader, these two commands wont do much harm
[18:57] <pen> mgolisch: btw, I only see xclient script
[18:57] <saml> i have a web server.. and i want to do load testing
[18:57] <pen> mgolisch: is that the one you talked about?
[18:57] <hmw_pidgin> UnknownUSSR: ah listen to ejer
[18:57] <sambagirl> ahh i see saml
[18:57] <saml> should I use :(){ :|:&}:   of sort?
[18:57] <pen> mgolisch: it is already selecting script
[18:57] <pen> mgolisch: weitd
[18:57] <saml> i know there was a load testing tool... ab?
[18:57] <sambagirl> i dont know saml.
[18:57] <anger_> anyway, this guarddog seems to be just what I was searching for
[18:58] <ejer> anger_: some people load and save in rc.local - personally I use firehol to do iptables stuff
[18:58] <UnknownUSSR> hmw_pidgin && ejer ,that's what I've done .Note that hd0 is an old 80gb hdd ,but the Windows boot loader is on C:\ which is on hd1 ,does it matter ?
[18:58] <ejer> anger_: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[18:58] <mgolisch> pen: yeah thats it
[18:59] <ejer> UnknownUSSR: in your paste you had setup (hd0,1)
[18:59] <w0ls0n> where do I configure my monitor settings in gnome?
[18:59] <pen> mgolisch: but I have my .Xsession file
[18:59] <pen> mgolisch: it doesn't get executed
[18:59] <mgolisch> pen: its name has to be .xsession
[18:59] <mgolisch> nit .Xsession
[18:59] <UnknownUSSR> ejer:That's what find /grub/stage1 spat out
[18:59] <lianimator2> my vbox with XP installed occasionally becomes filled with green lines and becomes non-responsive... anyone have this problem?
[18:59] <DrX> ikonia: www.pastebin.ca/1265991 (dir & filenames changed for security reasons)
[18:59] <Cobra-the-joker>  what is the application that manages the network devices ?
[19:00] <hmw_pidgin> UnknownUSSR: depends on your bios. on very old pcs there must not be more than one "active" (boot flag in partition table) partition in the whole system
[19:00] <UnknownUSSR> ( in the grub console )
[19:00] <ejer> UnknownUSSR: ok, and that is your correct root entry, but not setup
[19:00] <inflamez> irc.gnome.org
[19:00] <Cobra-the-joker> is there is a gui application for network managment ?
[19:00] <pen> mgolisch: but I tried .xsession first but it doesn't work
[19:00] <pen> mgolisch: I did make it executable like chmod +x
[19:00] <pen> mgolisch: do I need to?
[19:00] <DasEi> Cobra-the-joker: network-manager
[19:00] <OceanX> How do I configure Thunderbird to share account settings with Windows installation?
[19:01] <ikonia> OceanX: you need to configure them both in windows and linux
[19:01] <ikonia> DrX: that pastebin is taking a long time to load
[19:01] <Cobra-the-joker> just typing network-manager ?
[19:01] <pen> mgolisch: any ideas?
[19:01] <mgolisch> pen: does it have a shebang?
[19:01] <ejer> UnknownUSSR: I think what you need to do is 1. grub-install /dev/sda 2. boot into ubuntu, then do update-grub (with sudo of course in front of these commands). This should 1. reinstall grub to your MBR and 2. update grub to see windows
[19:01] <pen> mgolisch: what is shebang?
[19:01] <mgolisch> pen: like does the first line look like: #!/bin/bash or so?
[19:02] <OceanX> #
[19:02] <pen> mgolisch: ah, nope...is that really the reason?
[19:02] <DrX> ikonia: really, it's a tiny file?
[19:02] <ikonia> DrX: still loading
[19:02] <mgolisch> pen: maybe, and have a look at ~/.xsession-errors maybe it tells whats wrong

[19:10] <hylje> network fails to use nameservers, /etc/resolv.conf has correct entries but network apps timeout on name resolving
[19:10] <ejer> vale: choose recovery mode at grub stage

[19:10] <hylje> this issue persists on different network configurations which work for other devices fine
[19:10] <UnknownUSSR> hmm ...
[19:11] <vale> ejer: ok thanks
[19:11] <JonathanEllis> My pc wont start ubuntu when my ide peripherals change. My boot disk is on the primary IDE channel and that hasn't changed but there is a CD drive and another hard disk on the secondary channel. I have been into the BIOS and got it to reconfigure the hard disks. The wierd thing is Grub boots and I get the OS menu but when I select Ubuntu it says starting up and then hangs. When I press Ctl Alt 1 to see the terminal it says Loading, please wait and t
[19:11] <DasEi> manloza: you get by ?
[19:11] <ejer> UnknownUSSR: This error is harmless and can be ignored. (unless you are using XFS for your root filesystem)
[19:11] <zasek> szlag
[19:11] <dp> anyone?
[19:11] <zasek> dp what
[19:11] <ejer> UnknownUSSR: Installation finished. No error reported. - ie: reboot and see
[19:12] <OpenBSDRulzs> UnknownUSSR: is your /boot on a non-XFS partition? What is your boot partition?
[19:12] <dp> zasek: menu items within amarok and openoffice seem to disappear after a very short amount of time (100ms or so). if I hover over them quickly, I can temporarily see them, but they disappear again.  this is for menu items as well as right click context items.  anyone else having this problem?
[19:12] <xiroV> DasEi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/76520/
[19:12] <OpenBSDRulzs> UnknownUSSR: never mind.
[19:12] <ejer> UnknownUSSR: your partitioning is strange tho... you have extended as 1, then a primary as 2

[19:13] <DasEi> JonathanEllis: use a live cd to check menu.lst > right boot given and also check /boot for correct content
[19:13] <UnknownUSSR> ejer:Ah ,it's been resolved for now ,it's about 1am .. yes I have set '/' as primary can't remember why though

[19:15] <DrX> ikonia: how so?

[19:15] <mgolisch> pen: what exactly do you have in that file?
[19:16] <Seveas> sambagirl, 2 cpu's x 2 cores = 4 cpu like thingies in system monitor

[19:16] <JonathanEllis> DasEi: I have worked on menu.lst within the last week and its all as it should be: it hasnt changed. Also /boot is ok because that hasnt changed. The only thing that has changed is the drives on the secondary IDE channel. I just pressed Ctrl Alt Del while in terminal 1 to try to shut down. Oddly enough, instead of shutting down it has now given me the log in screen. Bizarre!
[19:16] <DrX> ikonia: maybe for SAMBA
[19:16] <ikonia> DrX: you don't need it for samba
[19:16] <DasEi>  xiroV: the error you had was X (graphical system), also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:16] <xiroV> DasEi, I lost some important text because of the error.. can i find any logs over stuff which has been in the clipboard or something like that?

[19:17] <IdleOne> is there a howto on how to setup a NAS server with ubuntu?
[19:17] <dp> this has been an ongoing problem since the upgrade to 8.10
[19:17] <DrX> ikonia: it's a Windows XP user
[19:17] <ikonia> JonathanEllis: can do now
[19:17] <ikonia> DrX: thats the problem then
[19:17] <DrX> ikonia: can't guests write to the OS?
[19:17] <ikonia> DrX: you don't have a unix user mapped to it
[19:17] <ejer> xiroV: so in firefox, you probably lost it
[19:17] <unavailable> allright, i figured it out...  if anyone is dealing with a triple boot system, with vista, win7 and ubuntu and want grub as the only boot loader displayed, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6243439&postcount=2

[19:18] <sambagirl> i dont understand why the cpu % is at like almost 100% and stuff like that?
[19:18] <xiroV> ejer, d*mn..
[19:18] <ikonia> DrX: also you need to look at your smb.conf and see what the share settings are
[19:18] <DrX> ikonia: i thought 777 meant WORLD as in EVERYONE
[19:18] <ikonia> DrX: yes, but he share settings can overwride that
[19:18] <DieHenne> dp whats your problem?
[19:18] <xiroV> ejer, Thanks anyway
[19:18] <IdleOne> Seveas, thanks :) and Hi long time no see
[19:18] <paule> thanks worked just fine
[19:18] <DasEi> JonathanEllis: so if you can log in, do so and check via fdisk -l if any descriptors changed, consider using uuids to avoid such a thing, also : hdparm -z rereads the parti table
[19:18] <paule> thanks to ejer
[19:18] <sambagirl> does top show the samething as processes in system monitor?

[19:19] <DrX> ikonia: read only = No
[19:19] <w0ls0n> OpenBSDRulzs, Same resolutions
[19:19] <JonathanEllis> DasEi: I am using volume labels instead of uuids (prefer human readable things so less chance of making a mistake)

[19:20] <w0ls0n> my monitor supports 1280 x 1024
[19:20] <DrX> ikonia: actually, it turns out I'm logged in as user case
[19:20] <ejer> DrX: if you are forcing user, those files need to be owned by that user, if not the entire root share dir needs to be 777, it is much better to chown as user case - maybe check http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html

[19:27] <millertime_018> unavailable: what is direct 3d?
[19:27] <ejer> DrX: yes they will because you are forcing a user in samba

[19:27] <jxander> DieHenne, nope... i can switch between apps, but it doesn't go to the other screen. any idea?
[19:27] <unavailable> millertime_018: directx capable graphics
[19:27] <ejer> DrX: as long as the dirs and files are chown case, all users who log on will have write and read access, as if they WERE user case
[19:28] <DrX> ejer: oh, so forcing the user in SAMBA will override the chmod 700 on the samba share directory?
[19:28] <JonathanEllis> jonathanellis: is testing whether the sound works as I keep missing when people speak to me. Please ignore
[19:28] <unavailable> millertime_018: basically, you wont be able to see any of vista's prettiness, linux's cool compiz or any 3d games in virtualbox..  for those, you will have to use their native os directly installed on the computer.
[19:29] <ejer> DrX: this is 2 different things, chown and chmod. The files should be chmod 644, the dirs 755 as normal...

[19:31] <ejer> DrX: what you want is very easy, but you will need to learn the basics of file permissions, I did send you a link earlier... basically you should not be forcing a user, and each user shopuld have their own dirs, and they can read/write those but not others

[19:44] <LFSrulz2> s000501: this is rtfm to me, too. i think its related to master browser election.
[19:45] <s000501> LFSrulz2: okay; no way to open the (variable) ports to receive bcast queries
[19:46] <LFSrulz2> s000501: if this was a question, then i am clueless. sry
[19:46] <s000501> LFSrulz2: no prblm, tnx!
[19:47] <NicEXE> I recently installed 4GB of RAM on my system. I am on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit but It can only see up to 3.2 GB of RAM (my mobo supports up to 16 GB of RAM)
[19:47] <Petengy> someone could suggest me a very very simple way to remote control an Ubuntu desktop on internet behind a dynamic IP address ???
[19:48] <elwaywitvac> Petengy: dynamic as in dhcp or your isp assigns a random one?
[19:48] <ejer> Petengy: you will need to forward a port in your router, or you could try with http://hamachi.cc - but short answer is there is no easy easy way
[19:48] <andersonx> sudo rm -f /
[19:48] <LFSrulz2> Petengy: port forward on your router? to "find" your ip from outside, you could use a dyndns service
[19:48] <andersonx> sudo rm -f /
[19:49] <the_dark_warrio> My laptop's volume button is changing the volume of something which is not the Master volume... How do I change it to control the master volume???

[19:49] <DrX> ejer: y, i created the root directory as user root so that should be ok.  but, when i try to restore files from an XP system I'm either getting no files and no errors (when user root) or I'm getting about 1/3 of the files and file permission error unable to write file as the force = user
[19:49] <Petengy> elwaywitvac: I suppose my isp assings random IP, it changes every second
[19:49] <NicEXE> I recently installed 4GB of RAM on my system. I am on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit but It can only see up to 3.2 GB of RAM (my mobo supports up to 16 GB of RAM)
[19:49] <DrX> ejer: (when I'm the force user)
[19:49] <ejer> DrX: check the perms on files that error
[19:49] <n8tuser> Petengy-> no it does not change every second
[19:50] <XLV> NicEXE, check the bios for any option about >4GB mem remapping
[19:50] <XLV> NicEXE, also make sure you installed 64bit ubuntu
[19:50] <the_dark_warrio> It was working until I right clicked the volume icon > Preferences and selected Beep to low the beep sound. After that I changed to the Master again and it's not working...
[19:50] <ejer> Petengy: i doubt very much your IP changes that often
[19:50] <elwaywitvac> Petengy: every second seems extreme, but most of the other comments are right.  DynDNS is a good/free way to give a URL to your connection

[19:51] <Bear-Lt> Hello! I'm having a networking issue with my Asus Aspire One (A110L) and Ubuntu 8.04 installed on it: I can't ping the gateway. I'm using correct parameters for my NIC, everything seems to set up as it belong. Still, on pinging I get the "Destinantion Host Unreachable" message... Before Ubuntu I had Linpus Linux and with those parameters I could ping the gateway. I'm wired. My ifconfig and route outputs: http://pastebin.com/d3c2633bb
[19:51] <Bear-Lt> I'm writing through the gateway PC. The Acer Aspire One laptop is connected directly into this one. When I connect the same cable with the same parameters to another PC network works just great.

[19:53] <dangit> (over msn protocol)
[19:53] <the_dark_warrio> ejer: oh... I must be blind... thanks
[19:53] <elwaywitvac> dangit: I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with pidgin unless there is some MSN feature in other clients to block unknowns
[19:53] <Bear-Lt> !n8user any ideas?
[19:53] <IdleOne> mneptok, that ban should be set network wide
[19:54] <n8tuser> Bear-Lt-> prefix your responses with my nick or i will not respond to you
[19:54] <mneptok> IdleOne: i have no o: line
[19:54] <dangit> elwaywitvac, well...i have been using pidgin for ages, never had this before, i used vista for 2 days in september and the msn client there had it....now i'm having it in the new pidgin as well

[19:54] <enquest> how doe "_get_next_or_previous_in_order" work?
[19:54] <ejer> Bear-Lt: you are referencing 2 dif network devices, eth0 and eth1 in your routing table
[19:55] <Jagged> dangit: I've noticed the same thing as well. :shrug:
[19:55] <ejer> Bear-Lt: if you use dhcp, you do not need to do anything extra usually
[19:55] <elwaywitvac> dangit: right, but it sounds like when my mom upgrading her phone and got more spam text messaging.  I don't know, I never use MSN
[19:55] <dangit> Jagged, it is...very...annoying :|
[19:55] <IdleOne> !sound > brandon__
[19:55] <LFSrulz2> Bear-Lt: you can ping your own ip?

[19:55] <DrX> ejer: I think I found something that works, want to know?
[19:55] <userathei> afternoon all
[19:56] <elwaywitvac> dangit: check under tools/privacy
[19:56] <ejer> DrX: if you want :)
[19:56] <elwaywitvac> dangit: there may be an option to block everyone you don't know for MSN like there is for AIM
[19:56] <DrX> ejer: i made the force user an administrator on the XP box and the file permissions errors went away.  I
[19:56] <DrX> ejer: I'll just undo that after the restore...
[19:57] <Jagged> elwaywitvac: You are correct
[19:57] <Jagged> dangit: follow elwaywitvac's suggestions Tools->Privacy
[19:57] <Bear-Lt> I'm not using DHCP. I can ping my own adress.

[19:59] <bimberi> !info falcon | bmunger
[19:59] <LFSrulz2> Bear-Lt: whats the ip of bebebe?
[19:59] <ikonia> wolvbite: is this fffakeraid or linux software raid
[19:59] <Slart> dangit: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[19:59] <sudobash> i have looked all over gconf
[19:59] <Bear-Lt> <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:59] <wolvbite> Ikonia: software raid 1
[19:59] <sudobash> and none of the setting I change seem to do anything
[19:59] <jolynn> I'm having trouble getting my sound to work. I just installed ubuntu yesterday. Can anyone help me? Feel free to PM me if that would be easier.
[19:59] <ikonia> wolvbite: linux software raid
[19:59] <dangit> Slart, thanks, having a look
[19:59] <Slart> dangit: if you want the real 64-bit flash you'll have to download it from adobe yourself, it isn't packaged yet and still i beta
[20:00] <ikonia> wolvbite: as in mdadm ?
[20:00] <dios_mio> this room has 1500 people but #cod.wars on Quakenet has 1900 people!
[20:00] <wolvbite> Ikonia yes
[20:00] <dangit> Slart, o
[20:00] <dios_mio> #cod4.wars I mean
[20:00] <LFSrulz2> Bear-Lt: this really doesnt sound good... you use the same subnet on two interfaces
[20:00] <ikonia> wolvbite: what happens when you mount it ?
[20:00] <Pelo> sudobash, what kind of background is it , I just came in I didn't see the beginning
[20:00] <dangit> is gnash 64 bit and up to the task these days?
[20:00] <ikonia> dios_mio: advertise elsewhere
[20:00] <ikonia> dios_mio: this is a support channel
[20:00] <Slart> dangit: don't know and no
[20:00] <dios_mio> ikonia, I am not advertising
[20:00] <Bear-Lt> !	LFSrulz2 yes
[20:00] <dios_mio> ikonia, it is a fun fact
[20:00] <jolynn> Can anyone help me with my sound problem??
[20:00] <DasEi> jolynn: what says lspci about audio ?
[20:00] <LFSrulz2> Bear-Lt: bring down eth1: ifconfig eth1 down
[20:01] <ikonia> dios_mio: it's offtopic here
[20:01] <sudobash> just a normal jpg... Right now all it will display is black or solid colors... but he says it will show it at startup and then goes away real quick
[20:01] <Pelo> Bear-Lt, stop putting exclamation marks at the start of your sentences,  they trigger the bot needlessly
[20:01] <Slart> dios_mio: so far, that's all you've done.. or was there an ubuntu support question hidden somewhere in that?
[20:01] <dios_mio> ikonia ok whatever
[20:01] <Jagged> Bear-Lt: there is no need for the ! preceeding names
[20:01] <dios_mio> slart, ok ok
[20:01] <jolynn> What dasei?
[20:01] <wolvbite> everything mounts fine.  its just when I create a directory to share for samba the users have permission problems when creating subdirectories and files
[20:01] <Bodsda> LFSrulz2, i though it was   sudo ifdown eth1 ??
[20:01] <DasEi> jolynn: pm me
[20:01] <bimberi> bmunger: Note that falcon is for your own packages.  Otherwise there's things like apt-cacher-ng
[20:01] <sudobash> its 8.10 and I clicked disable desktop background during Remote Desktop Viewing in System-Pref-Remote Desktop
[20:01] <ikonia> wolvbite: are your clients windows ?
[20:01] <LFSrulz2> Bodsda: Bear-Lt: it is probably sudo ifconfig, sry
[20:01] <Pelo> sudobash, if you just want a solid colour desktop that is easy enough
[20:01] <dek> since I upgraded to KDE4 and I want to use KNode, I get "502 Permission denied" error. Any fix?
[20:01] <sudobash> no
[20:02] <sudobash> it will only show solid colors
[20:02] <wolvbite> nope 1 mac client on linux client
[20:02] <sudobash> it will not show any images
[20:02] <sudobash> at all
[20:02] <sudobash> wallpaper
[20:02] <Pelo> sudobash, can you put up the image on imageshack so I can have a look at it , see what might be the problem
[20:02] <bmunger> bimberi: i was looking for a apt mirror for local computers.. i was looking into apt-mirror but i dont know if that will work
[20:02] <ikonia> wolvbite: wrotten timing, I have to pop out. Check your clients usersnames map to a unix level useracccount, look at your smb.conf at the share premissions
[20:02] <macjason0> wow 8.10 rocks
[20:02] <macjason0> wirless everything
[20:02] <sudobash> not even the Ubuntu Wallpaper will show up
[20:02] <Bodsda> LFSrulz2, sudo ifconfig?
[20:02] <sudobash> the new 8.10 wallpaper wont even come up
[20:03] <Pelo> sudobash, do you have compiz enabled by anychance ? there is a wallpaper thingy in there that might be overrissind the regular wallpaper applet in gnome
[20:03] <Havsalt> Anyone using openbox w/ubuntu?
[20:03] <LFSrulz2> Bodsda: you confuse me now *g* what??
[20:03] <wolvbite> ok.   i did change them to 777 and was able to write a directory but then it disappears
[20:03] <Bear-Lt> I've made it. Bring the eth0 down (there are no eth1, I've made a mistake while rewriting output)
[20:03] <bimberi> bmunger: there's apt-cacher-ng, apt-cacher and apt-proxy which all do similar things.
[20:03] <brandon__> ok look i reallyreally really need help with my acer aspire 6920 imusing oss sound drivers but they suck so i need some way of using alsa if thats possible cuz i heard it was please help me please!!!!!!!!! pst me if you can get alsa working on my laptop please
[20:03] <sudobash> yes i have compiz enabled and I have set the wallpaper in that plugin also.. your saying it might have oversized or something?
[20:03] <LFSrulz2> Bear-Lt: congrats!
[20:03] <Bodsda> LFSrulz2, im pretty sure the command for taking a device offline from cli is       sudo ifdown eth1          eth1/device name
[20:04] <Pelo> wolvbite, files and dirs with names starting with a dot are hidden,  if you are not in the view hidden file mode they will disapear
[20:04] <Bear-Lt> LFSrulz2: about what?
[20:04] <sudobash> it was working fine until i disabled for remote desktop
[20:04] <wolvbite> bye all
[20:05] <LFSrulz2> Bodsda: that might be possible too... but ifconfig ethX down does work, also
[20:05] <Pelo> sudobash, override the regular gnome wallpaper changer,  disable the wall paper stuff in compiz , seewhat happens,  actualy turn off compiz completely to test , that will be easier ,  you can ask more about this after in #compiz
[20:05] <Bodsda> LFSrulz2, ok, sorry, my mistake
[20:05] <LFSrulz2> Bear-Lt: the congrats? i thought you solved your problem? uhmm...?
[20:05] <sudobash> how do i override the regular gnome wallpaper change?
[20:05] <sudobash> r
[20:06] <Bear-Lt> LFSrulz2: I'm using one NIC on my laptop. It's integrated RTL8101E ethernet card.
[20:06] <Pelo> sudobash, you don't , compiz will take over if the wallpaper pluggin is enabled in there
[20:06] <sudobash> i turned appearance options to none
[20:07] <sudobash> still no wallpaper
[20:07] <Pelo> sudobash, ask in #compiz, see if they know
[20:09] <Bear-Lt> LFSrulz2: I've bring bring down and bring up eth0 with the parameters and still got nothing. I still get "Destination host unreachable" (the gateway) message.
[20:09] <brandon__> ok look i reallyreally really need help with my acer aspire 6920 imusing oss sound drivers but they suck so i need some way of using alsa if thats possible cuz i heard it was please help me please!!!!!!!!! pst me if you can get alsa working on my laptop please
