[06:50] <Seven_Six_Two> Skipp_OSX, can you play music?
[06:50] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
[06:51] <Skipp_OSX> Seven_Six_Two: yes, I can play audio is most applications
[06:51] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I configured it to use the pulse audio plugin is that not enough?
[06:51] <Michael88> hi everyone...what can i use to connect to a ventrilo server??
[06:51] <Skipp_OSX> Michael88: good question
[06:51] <Codi> I'm having an issue with mp3 playback. VLC, Rythmbox, Songbird. none of them have playback. Only codecs I've installed lately have been w32codecs, not sure what I messed up. Feel free to let me know.
[06:51] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: do you have pulseaudio?
[06:52] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I don't really know, I am on Hardy Heron if that helps
[06:52] <WhoNeedszzz> that doesn't
[06:52] <SugarBoy> lol
[06:52] <Michael88> yes he has pulseaudio
[06:52] <Michael88> i have Hardy Heron..and i have pulseaudio and alsa
[06:53] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: use default audio output
[06:53] <HR416> ive got mustard
[06:53] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
[06:53] <Anonymoose> hi.. is this chat has to do with babylon5?
[06:54] <Seven_Six_Two> WhoNeedszzz, what filesystem did you put on it?
[06:54] <WhoNeedszzz> Seven_Six_Two: vfat
[06:54] <MatthewV> Codi, I'd double check that you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed :)
[06:54] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: no luck
[06:54] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: what audio driver are you using?
[06:54] <revilodraw> i just installed frostwire but it wont open, nothing happens. any ideas?
[06:54] <Skipp_OSX> Michael88: it appears that it is impossible to run the Ventrilo client natively in Linux, however, you can run Ventrilo using wine
[06:55] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I don't know, how can I check?
[06:55] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: i would guess you are using alsa so: sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
[06:55] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: if you don't know you are using alsa
[06:55] <Wispring> I am trying to set up VSFTPD (FTP-Server) for anonymous, download only access. I figure I should be able to type "FTP://myipaddress" to access it but so far this isn't working.Any advice/information/help would be greatly appreciated
[06:55] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: vlc is an oss app so you need to install alsa-oss
[06:55] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I am installing it now
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> k
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> it mounted before
[06:56] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: and suddenly sound works, thank you WhoNeedszzz
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: no problem :D
[06:57] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, try not to repeat your question so often, if someone knows the answer they'll help... could you elaborate on "I just partitioned a drive"
[06:57] <jose__> en que estan
[06:57] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i had one partition on the drive and i just made it into 2 partitions. the second partition mounts but the first won't
[06:58] <tc111> !es | jose__
[06:59] <WhoNeedszzz> i get this when running fsck on the partition: Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
[06:59] <WhoNeedszzz> FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!
[07:00] <ethanjay> I'm running off the 8.04 livecd right now, and ubuntu detected my wifi card (dell wireless) but it was very obtuse about telling me that I needed to be plugged into wired ethernet to get the drivers -- I think this should be more clear, like "to enable wi-fi, you need to be connected to the internet through dial-up, LAN, or bluetooth" or something
[07:01] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, so you had one partition (ext3? fat32?) and you resized that to make room for a new one? or deleted it and created two new ones?
[07:02] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: resized it for a new ext3 partition
[07:03] <dymas> hiii
[07:03] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, ok, so you're saying then that the new ext3 (empty) partition mounts fine, but the old (ext3?) partition won't mount, with the superblock error
[07:03] <simi> hi, can anyone explain me what this line in fstab means /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,utf8,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
[07:03] <simi> how it works??
[07:03] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: yes except the one that won't mount is vfat
[07:04] <simi> i have error when i try to use cd or dvd, i can't open them, i have mount them manualy with mount
[07:05] <WhoNeedszzz> simi: that means that /dev/scd0 will be mounted at /media/cdrom0 automatically at startup
[07:05] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, what mount command are you using to mount the vfat partition then?
[07:06] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[07:06] <giacomo_carissim> is there a way to replace gnome-volume-manager with alsamixer?
[07:06] <tc111> simi: edit fstab and place a '#' in front of that line... let mtab (automounting, autodetection, hotplugging, etc...) detect the insertion and mount it for you
[07:06] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, try using "sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[07:06] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: sure. uninstall gnome-volume-manager and install alsamixergui :p
[07:06] <giacomo_carissim> can i do that with ubuntu or will it uninstall a lot more?
[07:06] <howlingmadhowie> simi: /dev/scd0 is the name of the device node, /media/cdrom0 is where it should be mounted udf,iso9660 are possible partition types, user... are options for mounting, 0 and 0 are something about dumping the file system and if the file system should be checked at boot
[07:07] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: same error
[07:07] <simi> ok, i edit fstab and restart
[07:07] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: use synaptic
[07:07] <giacomo_carissim> ok, ill give it a try
[07:07] <tc111> simi: sure...
[07:07] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, ok, try "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[07:07] <justin__> Wow. Theres a lot of people on here.
[07:07] <giacomo_carissim> it says i have to uninstall ubuntu-desktop
[07:08] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: same error
[07:08] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: then don't. just install alsamixergui.
[07:08] <giacomo_carissim> can i install the alsamixergui and have that run instead of gnome-volume-manager?
[07:09] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: it is seperate. it is located under the Applications menu
[07:09] <WhoNeedszzz> separate*
[07:09] <justin__> Does anyone know how to get java on Ubuntu? I am having the biggest problem :(
[07:09] <tc111> justin__: 32 or 64-bit ubuntu
[07:10] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:10] <justin__> x86, so, uhm, 32 bit?
[07:10] <giacomo_carissim> is there a way to have my system volume buttons adjust the alsamixergui instead of gnome-volume-manager?
[07:10] <howlingmadhowie> justin__: apt-get install openjdk-jre
[07:10] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, hmm... do you think you could pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?
[07:10] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: no the button is for gnome-volume-manager
[07:10] <justin__> Thanks
[07:10] <justin__> its working.
[07:11] <giacomo_carissim> but it seems like there would be a way to link the buttons to alsamixer instead, no?
[07:11] <justin__> I have experience with Ubuntu, but, for some reason I kept thinking "sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre" and it wasn't working :S
[07:11] <tc111> justin__: make sure universe and multiverse are enabled in your software sources, you can install sun's version or openjdk
[07:11] <Temujin_12> does anyone know if the edgy repositories are down?
[07:11] <tc111> justin__: up to v6 now...
[07:11] <justin__> Oh, I guess thats why, lol.
[07:11] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: http://pastebin.com/d2f65b970
[07:12] <howlingmadhowie> justin__: if you want the jdk programs as well, you can install them with openjdk-jdk (i think. i'm not on an ubuntu machine atm)
[07:12] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: you can create a new button via a launcher if you'd like
[07:12] <Rat409> !edgy | Temujin_12
[07:12] <giacomo_carissim> create a new button?  but the buttons are stuck on the front of my laptop
[07:12] <Temujin_12> i'm trying to upgrade an ubuntu 6.10 server to 8.04 and the upgrade tool fails because it can't fetch the edgy repositories so i get the error discussed here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-424547.html
[07:13] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: ohhh. that button. ok yes. you can remap the keyboard to launch alsamixergui.
[07:13] <giacomo_carissim> what's that under?  keyboard?
[07:13] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: should be
[07:13] <Temujin_12> that's what i'm trying to do (upgrade) but  sudo do-release-upgrade  won't let me upgrade on account of it not being able to communicate with edgy sources
[07:13] <giacomo_carissim> wait, but they're volume buttons, so each one will have to launch alsamixergui?
[07:14] <tc111> justin__: try aptitude instead of apt-get too... you can also use tab-completion with either when you're not too sure of the name...
[07:14] <tc111> simi: what's the verdict simi
[07:14] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: no. they need to be mapped to the appropriate raising or lowering volume command
[07:15] <giacomo_carissim> can i have alsamixer launch at startup and run in the system panel or behind the scenes and have the volume buttons control the alsamixer that is running?
[07:15] <justin__> Are you typing my name or are you doing that automaticly somehow? I am a big IRC noob. This is like the first time I have used it, lol.
[07:15] <simi> tc111,  it does not work
[07:15] <simi> the cd do not mount automaticaly or when i try to open it from computer
[07:15] <Wispring> I would like some help setting up vsftpd(FTP-server) to be accessable with anonymous log-in for down load only. maybe i need to do port fowarding, but am unsure how to accomplish this. any help would be appreciated
[07:15] <Temujin_12> it seems a bit contradictory to "end of life" a version which also cripples the upgrade tool to allow you to get out of that version
[07:16] <tc111> simi: you ejected and re-inserted the cd?
[07:16] <simi> yes
[07:16] <Temujin_12> i was thinking of just renaming every instance of edgy to fiesty or gusty in my sources.list then doing the upgrade, but that is generally bad no?
[07:16] <simi> tc111, it  would be nicer if the error message would have more details
[07:17] <simi> tc111,  mount comand works
[07:17] <Rat409> Temujin_12: you edit /etc/apt/sources.list change edgy to feisty,upgrade to it then change to gutsy,upgrde it,then to hardy. it may/may not work a fresh install is recommended
[07:17] <justin__> tcll: We have the same ISP, lol.
[07:17] <justin__> tc111: *
[07:17] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: hit add for the commands and type amixer set Master 0% and hit the mute button on the laptop. add a new one as amixer set Master 10%- and hit the lower volume button on the laptop. lastly add a new one as amixer set Master 10%+ and hit the raise volume button on the laptop
[07:17] <Rat409> Temujin_12: if you do use aptitude
[07:17] <tc111> simi: what the command you're using that works
[07:18] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: so...
[07:18] <tc111> justin__: using tab completion available in xchat
[07:18] <Temujin_12> thanks Rat409, i'll try that.... unfortunately, i don't have things partitioned such that I can do a clean install w/o having to backup/restore data
[07:18] <justin__> I am using xChat, but, how do I do that?
[07:19] <revilodraw> which command tests whether ipv6 is running?
[07:19] <Rat409> Temujin_12: sure,hope it works.
[07:19] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:19] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, not sure then... my gut feeling would be that the resize somehow muddled the partition...
[07:20] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i guess i need to make a new partition and move the data to it and delete that partition :(
[07:20] <marvin__> hi guys, do you guys know how to change the default workspace in eclipse?
[07:20] <cronin> hi, new to ubuntu... i am using it on a webserver. I am in the terminal via my mac. I need to add a super user so I did visudo but everytime I press down... it gives me a litter =P
[07:20] <marvin__> sudo vi
[07:21] <wols_> a litter?
[07:21] <slchen> Hi, all.
[07:21] <marvin__> can anyone solve my eclipse problem?
[07:21] <Jane_> hero
[07:21] <Jane_> Hi
[07:21] <Flannel> cronin: That's a mac terminal issue.  Your terminal isn't sending the arrow keys 'properly'
[07:21] <Rat409> cronin: try visudo /etc/sudoers?
[07:21] <Jane_> Anyone here get the Guitar Hero Air Guitar?
[07:21] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, you could try run fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdb1 but i'm not sure if that's the best idea.. probably best to backup if possible then try taht
[07:21] <slchen> Is the trashcan a built-in function of nautilus file manager?
[07:22] <Flannel> cronin: But, you don't need to edit sudoers to add a user.  Just make them a part of the admin group
[07:22] <marvin__> does anyone know where to configure the default workspace for eclipse?
[07:23] <l1f3> hi. how can i start up in command line mode but not gdm?
[07:24] <marvin__> alt f1
[07:25] <negge> l1f3: when you get to the login screen you can choose failsafe commandline from session type
[07:25] <Felonious> I just installed subversion from synaptic, where by default does it copy the source to when I do an svn checkout?
[07:25] <negge> or press Alt+F1
[07:25] <Felonious> it doesnt not appear to be /usr/src/
[07:25] <marvin__> in a temp file
[07:25] <Earthpig> question: is it possible to make WINE run an app i already have installed on my windows partition...?
[07:25] <MatthewV> Felonious, to the current directory i believe
[07:25] <marvin__> umm i forgot where though
[07:25] <Felonious> yup
[07:25] <simi_> tc111, sorry , my child unplug the modem
[07:26] <Felonious> you are right
[07:26] <negge> Earthpig: you can try moving all the program files to your Wine folder and run it
[07:26] <ianm_> anyone know how to record music instead of the mic in recordmydesktop ?
[07:26] <l1f3> negge: if i press Alt+F1. gdm still running. is there anyway i can disable it from starting?
[07:26] <Flannel> !bum | l1f3
[07:26] <negge> l1f3: you can close GDM manually or you can boot in recovery mode
[07:26] <Felonious> MatthewV is there anyway I can change it to always be in /usr/src/ ?
[07:26] <Flannel> Don't boot into recovery mode.
[07:26] <xiaofeng> h
[07:26] <marvin__> ahh, I guess no one uses eclipse anymore :(
[07:27] <simi_> what command is running when i double clck the cdrom icon? i want to run it in the terminal and see more details?
[07:27] <marvin__> wait
[07:28] <marvin__> you mean on your mac
[07:28] <marvin__> waita miniute
[07:28] <marvin__> do you have a gui for your ubuntu?
[07:28] <MatthewV> Felonious, you can do a "svn co [url] /usr/src/" i think, but I've not come across a way to tell it to always go there...
[07:28] <marvin__> like kde or gnome?
[07:28] <Shaba2> grrr
[07:28] <Shaba2> ok folkes
[07:28] <marvin__> nvmd
[07:28] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i ran a check with gparted and got: Bad FAT: unterminated chain for \VIRTUA~1
[07:28] <xiaofeng> hi
[07:28] <Felonious> I think you can EXPORT something to have it
[07:28] <Shaba2> I followed the instruction at http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html
[07:29] <Shaba2> to set up a vnc server on my xubuntu machine
[07:29] <Wispring> I am trying so set-up vstpd(ftp server) with anonymous log-in, download only, no success so far, I may need to do port forwarding, not sure, any help would be appreciated
[07:29] <Shaba2> I can now connect to it from ny windwos machine
[07:29] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, yeh like i said I think it's a corrupted file system or boot sector, fsck should be able to fix that but you just need to be careful with it....
[07:29] <Shaba2> but all I get is a blank grey screen
[07:29] <negge> Wispring: if you want your clients to connect in passive mode (which you most probably want to) you'll have to open port 21
[07:30] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: fsck gives me this: Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
[07:30] <WhoNeedszzz> FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!
[07:30] <Wispring> negge...thank you ...how do I do that?
[07:30] <Ziroday> what is a good tool to convert a video into a 640x480 resolution?
[07:30] <cabrioleur> Ziroday, I use avidemux for everything :-)
[07:30] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, yep, you can start fsck.vfat with the -a option to tell it to repair... but that's where I said I'd be careful, cause that does involve modifying the data on the drive then
[07:30] <simi_> tc111, i remember that i had the same error when i try to open an usb stick, the icon appeared in computer , but the same error, canot mount file/unable to mount ocation  no ther details
[07:31] <Ziroday> cabrioleur: hmm okay, I tried it but couldn't work out how to do anything
[07:31] <Hermes> I have a strange problem
[07:31] <Hermes> With Pidgin
[07:31] <Hermes> Help please
[07:31] <Flannel> !enter | Hermes
[07:31] <MTecknology> !ask Hermes
[07:32] <MTecknology> !ask > Hermes
[07:32] <tc111> !ask | Hermes
[07:32] <Hermes> Anyone?
[07:32] <hans-solo> where I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager. Does anyone have a clue?
[07:32] <MTecknology> tc111, i think i beat you to it...
[07:32] <MatthewV> Felonious, there is a config file stored in ~/.subversion/config - i'm trying to see if there's an option in there
[07:32] <Hermes> Sorry for not asking question in one line
[07:32] <tc111> MTecknology: damn that lag time...
[07:33] <hans-solo> \NickServ
[07:33] <MTecknology> Hermes, ask the question
[07:33] <Hermes> Ok
[07:33] <simi_> Hermes,  ? what is the problem?
[07:33] <Flannel> Felonious: It doesn't have a default, it does it whereever you ask it to.
[07:34] <Hermes> I have a friend called Raghav, he is apparently logged in. But, for some reason, I keep getting the message "you bored at school??????" OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
[07:34] <Earthpig> probably on his end, hermes
[07:34] <Hermes> A few hundred times now. I rang him up and he claims not to be doing it.
[07:34] <MTecknology> Hermes, are you getting the message from him?
[07:34] <Earthpig> tell him to restart
[07:34] <MTecknology> virus
[07:34] <Earthpig> he a windows user?
[07:34] <Hermes> Yes, but I know he wouldn't do it so many times
[07:35] <Hermes> Yes, hes booting into Ubuntu now
[07:35] <MTecknology> Hermes, if it stops, he probably has a virus
[07:35] <Hermes> Yeah I thought that might be the case.
[07:35] <Earthpig> if the shit still happens when he stopped windows, tell him to change his password while using a diff computer/boot partition
[07:35] <MTecknology> Hermes, that's normally the cause in that situation.
[07:35] <Hermes> But I noticed something.
[07:36] <Earthpig> and then, if it starts again when he starts windows again.. then, ya, he has spyware on his windows partition
[07:36] <Hermes> Occasionally, instead of the normal message, a V would be sent
[07:36] <howlingmadhowie> Hermes: the official icq client was cracked recently as well
[07:36] <Hermes> So maybe somebody is pasting the message with control+v
[07:36] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i get this when running that: Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
[07:36] <WhoNeedszzz> FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!
[07:36] <Hermes> Its a little disturbing I must say
[07:36] <howlingmadhowie> Hermes: yeah, windows is like that
[07:36] <evilbug> someone sent me a message earlier on another channel but my view doesn't go that far back. i also can't spot the message in the log, is there an easy way to spot it?
[07:37] <Felonious> ok thanks Flannel and MatthewV
[07:37] <Hermes> He was using Vista, but now it's stopped. Maybe his computer is being restarted now.
[07:37] <montpelie> hi everybody
[07:38] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, try with the -r option, that should interactively repair it...
[07:38] <Hermes> Hi
[07:38] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: tried that
[07:38] <MTecknology> !hi > Hermes
[07:38] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, otherwise you probably need someone who knows more about fsck (or google)...
[07:38] <montpelie> does anybody know an application similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro, so I can modify and convert PDF documents?
[07:38] <WhoNeedszzz> !hi | Hermes
[07:39] <MatthewV> I think Hermes was actually saying hi to montpelie
[07:39] <howlingmadhowie> Hermes: people tell me that there are other times when vista stops than when it's being restarted
[07:39] <rainwalker> montpelie: all I know of are evince and kpdf, but I don't know if they have all the features you want
[07:39] <Hermes> Okay
[07:40] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: there's an application called pdfedit in the repos, if i remember correctly
[07:40] <Hermes> I suspect Vista is the problem
[07:40] <maharajji> don't dump on Vista I use it as we speak in WM-ware and I love it
[07:40] <jussi01> !info pdfedit | montpelie
[07:40] <Hermes> I suppose he should do a virus scan
[07:40] <Hercules> i finally installed ubuntu
[07:40] <Hercules> but when the dual booter came up
[07:40] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: a herculean task
[07:40]  * rainwalker high-fives Hermes
[07:40] <rainwalker> Hercules sorry
[07:40] <Hercules> it gaves me a shell
[07:41] <Hercules> BusyBo
[07:41] <Shaba2> hmmm
[07:41] <JoCo> hey guys im on my windows partition right now but how do I install wireless drivers for my pc? (I have an aetheros card)
[07:41] <Shaba2> ok now I get a connection
[07:41] <Shaba2> and get to the desktop
[07:41] <Shaba2> or as you say workspace
[07:41] <Shaba2> but its the wrong workspace
[07:41] <rainwalker> JoCo: if you mean wireless drivers in ubuntu, atheros chipsets should be detected automatically
[07:41] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:41] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: that happens when something goes wrong in the boot procedure after the kernel is running
[07:41] <montpelie> ok, I'm  actually giving pdfedit a shot right now, but the computer gets to slow
[07:42] <Hercules> howlingmadhowie, is it because my cd is on?
[07:42] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: there's also an add-on for ooo3 out there
[07:42] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: what do you mean when you say that your cd is 'on'?
[07:42] <JoCo> rainwalker, they were at first but i installed nvidia drivers and changed xorg a little bit and it worked fine until one random reboot made the wireless stop working
[07:42] <Hercules> i meant, it is in
[07:43] <Hercules> it keeps doing it
[07:43] <montpelie> ooo3?, what's that bro?
[07:43] <joseph> Can somebody help me with installing GTK 2.x themes?
[07:43] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: as long as you're booting from the harddrive, it shouldn't matter if there's a cd in the drive or not
[07:43] <Hercules> well
[07:43] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: openoffice.org vs 3
[07:43] <rainwalker> JoCo: is there anything about atheros drivers in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[07:43] <Hercules> i installed it from vista
[07:43] <justin__> Is anyone here using xChat? I need some assistance.
[07:43] <rainwalker> joseph: what do you need help with?
[07:43] <Hermes> I'm using Xchat
[07:43] <JoCo> rainwalker, I dont know Id have to check
[07:43] <afallenhope> mencoder MYFILE.AVI -fps 29.97 -ovc lavc -lavcopts \ vcodec=mjpeg -oac pcm -vf scale -zoom -xy 512 -o WIIFRMT.avi
[07:43] <joseph> I recieved a text type of document when I downloaded a theme
[07:44] <joseph> Im not sure what to do with it.
[07:44] <afallenhope> anyone know what I get an issues?
[07:44] <afallenhope> -s
[07:44] <JoCo> brb
[07:44] <jussi01> !anyone | justin__
[07:44] <rainwalker> joseph: text? that's odd...where did you get the theme from?
[07:44] <joseph> Gnome look
[07:44] <jscinoz> Hey guys, im working on a number of packages, and i've run into a problem with cowbuilder, basically i cannot run multiple instances of it simultaneously as it gets dpkg admin directory locked errors, any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
[07:44] <susa> hello all
[07:44] <rainwalker> joseph: URL?
[07:44] <Hercules> howlingmadhowie, could it be a bad install?
[07:44] <joseph> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ClearlooksLondon?content=84094
[07:45] <jussi01> jscinoz: better to ask that in #ubuntu-motu
[07:45] <jscinoz> alright thanks jussi01
[07:45] <susa> could someone please tell me how to activate 4 sides of the cube in compiz
[07:45] <montpelie> haha ok thanks for the info
[07:45] <SiegeX> what does 'upstart' read to know which rc* file to call upon boot inside the /etc/event.d/ dir?
[07:45] <rainwalker> joseph: I'll check it out, hang ib
[07:45] <rainwalker> hang on*
[07:45] <susa> i only see 2 workspaces
[07:45] <joseph> Thank you ^_^
[07:45] <SiegeX> susa: go to the general section
[07:45] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: oh, you used this method of installing ubuntu inside a windows partition. never used it myself, i'm afraid :( you could try booting again and when it says 'grub starting in 3 seconds, press escape to cancel' press escape, and edit the top option in the list (with 'e') to remove 'quiet' and 'splash'. then boot from the option (with 'b') and try to make a note of the error messages (if there are any)
[07:45] <joseph> Susa
[07:46] <Wispring> I would like help configuring vsftpd for anonymouse login, download only. I will gladly post my conf file in a private chat for you to chk out.
[07:46] <ardeo> Can anyone give me help with a BIND problem I am having?
[07:46] <joseph> Right click on the square in the bottom right hand corner of your screen
[07:46] <joseph> Then go to prefences
[07:46] <montpelie> uhmm, do you remember the name of the add-on by any chance?, or how can I get it ?
[07:46] <rainwalker> joseph: are you talking about the grkrc file? if so, don't worry about that. All you have to do to install the theme is drag the .tar.gz you downloaded into the System > Preferences > Appearance window
[07:46] <Kelen> [Q] i found i could not click ed2k link with Mldonkey automatically while i finished upgraded FireFox3.0
[07:46] <Kelen> Kelen: Anyone help me? Please !
[07:46] <Rat409> !upstart | SiegeX
[07:47] <joseph> Let me try ^_^
[07:47] <Chikubu> how can i add a start up commands for all users before and after x starts
[07:47] <Hercules> grub never word
[07:47] <Hercules> i had to use BCDeasy
[07:47] <Hercules> *worked never word
[07:47] <Hercules> im going to reinstall it
[07:47] <Hercules> but this time outside the partition
[07:47] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: you'll need to install ooo3 first. then the add-on is at the official ooo addon site, as far as i know (never used it myself, but i read something about it at lxer.com)
[07:47] <susa> ok tha thankyou, could you please tell me how you can rotate the cube amd zoom in and out of it
[07:47] <MatthewV> joseph, the file you downloaded should have been called 84094-clearlookslondon.tar.gz - just drag that onto the theme list in System -> Preferences -> Appearance to install it
[07:47] <joseph> I did. Thanks
[07:48] <joseph> But how come i still have default
[07:48] <joseph> Ubuntu symbol
[07:48] <rainwalker> joseph: that depends on the icon theme
[07:48] <joseph> Oh, I see.
[07:48] <joseph> Would I search under icons to change that?
[07:48] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: in most cases i've seen, the user has been returned to a busybox shell because a necessary partition couldn't be mounted
[07:48] <rainwalker> susa: install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager", then go to system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings
[07:49] <Shaba2> this is confusing
[07:49] <simi_> is there a process that automounts cd or usb drive when are inserted? maybe this service/proces is not started
[07:49] <MatthewV> joseph, yep, that theme only changes the window controls, you'll have to change the other stuff yourself
[07:49] <rainwalker> joseph: just my personal preference, but I recommend the Oxygen Refit 2 icons
[07:49] <jussi01> Hercules: you just installed and are geting busybox? if so, what is your gfx hw?
[07:49] <Shaba2> I used a windows vnc client to log into an xubuntu machine
[07:49] <negge> simi_: they should be mounted automatically
[07:49] <joseph> Oh wow
[07:49] <joseph> Those are nice
[07:50] <joseph> To install them, is it the same concept? Drag and drop?
[07:50] <Shaba2> but what I am seeing on my windows vnc viewer look nothing like what is on the xubuntu laptop which is right across the room from me
[07:50] <rainwalker> simi_: all of that mounting stuff will be under "preferred applications", "removable drives and media", and "file management" in system > preferences
[07:50] <montpelie> alrighty howling
[07:50] <justin__> !anyone | justin__
[07:50] <rainwalker> joseph: yep, drag and drop
[07:50] <montpelie> already got ooo3 installed
[07:50] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:50] <SiegeX> Rat409: thanks, ive been to that page but it doesnt really talk about the particulars for what ubuntu calls after init loads
[07:50] <joseph> Thanks a lot.
[07:50] <hans-solo> hi I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager. Does anyone have a clue?
[07:50] <montpelie> let me look for the proper add-on
[07:50] <howlingmadhowie> Shaba2: can you specify?
[07:50] <montpelie> thanks for the info
[07:50] <rainwalker> joseph: no problem :)
[07:51] <jussi01> !fixres | hans-solo
[07:51] <navetz_> is there a good gui video converter I can download somewhere?
[07:51] <WhoNeedszzz> Is there a way to force a mount?
[07:51] <jussi01> !info avidemux | navetz_
[07:51] <rainwalker> navetz_: install the package "ffmpeg" and then google WinFF
[07:51] <jussi01> navetz_: also does conversion iirc
[07:52] <navetz_> jussi01: can it open ogg files?
[07:52] <navetz_> rainwalker: is winff in the repos?
[07:52] <jussi01> navetz_: I beleive so
[07:52] <rainwalker> navetz_: no, but it's a simple download
[07:52] <jussi01> navetz_: vlc also does conversions
[07:52] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: my first bet would be that the built in monitor is not telling the truth about its capabilities so the xserver is assuming it's very limited. you can set things like VertRefresh and HorizSync in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf explicitly. if you have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log you may see lots of lines like 'frequency not supported', which would suggest this problem
[07:52] <JoCoProductions> rainwalker, there are no installed drivers it says
[07:52] <SiegeX> looks like upstart calls /etc/event.d/rcS on startup
[07:52] <navetz_> jussi01: oh it does?
[07:52] <joseph> Rainwalker, Where exactly do I drop the icon package?
[07:53] <hans-solo> I tried that the system crashed
[07:53] <jussi01> navetz_: yes, have a look in the "wizard"
[07:53] <rainwalker> joseph: in system > preferences > appearance
[07:53] <justin__> What is this Ubotta thing?
[07:53] <erdem_> #ubuntu-tr
[07:53] <Shaba2> anyone here familiar with windwow-->ubuntu vnc packages?
[07:53] <jussi01> !bot | justin__
[07:54] <rainwalker> navetz_: here is winff: http://www.winff.org/
[07:54] <justin__> jussi01, why are you the onlyone using it? lol.
[07:54] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: the system crashed?
[07:55] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: i could understand the xserver not starting, but it shouldn't take the system down with it
[07:55] <hans-solo> it just gave a terminal window with a few [OK]
[07:55] <hans-solo> and thats about it
[07:55] <JoCoProductions> hey guys im on my windows partition right now but how do I install wireless drivers for my pc? (I have an aetheros card)
[07:55] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: could you log in at the terminal window?
[07:55] <joseph> Rainwalker, It says the installation failed.
[07:55] <Gigs> I upgraded to 8.04 and now I no longer have esd-style audio multiplexing.  I see pulseaudio is running but it doesn't seem to be accomplishing anything.
[07:55] <Gigs> I can't play more than one sound at a time.
[07:56]  * howlingmadhowie has gotta go to work :(
[07:56] <Hercules> if i want to change my partition after i install ubuntu
[07:56] <hans-solo> howlingmadhowie: I am logged into the terminal
[07:56] <Hercules> is that possible?
[07:57] <negge> Hercules: you mean the root partition or another one?
[07:57] <Hercules> extend it
[07:57] <hans-solo> how dow I get a users name with the colon without copy pasting and typing here?
[07:57] <Hercules> lets say
[07:57] <negge> Hercules: it can be done but you'll have to do it from a Live CD
[07:57] <Hercules> i got in vista
[07:58] <Hercules> is that the same as the install cd?
[07:58] <joseph> Rainwalker:  It says the installation failed:o
[07:59] <hans-solo> howlingmadhowie>	I am logged into Terminal window Now what?
[07:59] <Shaba2> Not that I can help you hans-solo
[07:59] <negge> Hercules: yeah. First you should back up all your files in case anything goes wrong. Then you boot with the Live CD and make sure your root partition is not mounted. Under System --> Administration there's a tool called Partition editor. Use that to resize the partition, it's fairly simple to do.
[07:59] <Shaba2> but what are you trying to do?
[08:00] <Hercules> so, boot from the cd, and select "run ubuntu live?"
[08:00] <negge> Hercules: but if anything goes wrong you'll probably end up with a broken system, that's why you should backup all important files first
[08:00] <negge> Hercules: yeah
[08:00] <Chikubu> anyway to add startup commands for all users?
[08:00] <Hercules> seems easy
[08:00] <hans-solo>   Shaba2>	I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager.
[08:01] <joseph> How come it says my Icon installation failed?
[08:01] <erpo> I have an 8.04 server sharing a printer via cupsd. How can I password protect the shared printer?
[08:01] <hans-solo> I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager.  Anyone?
[08:02] <hans-solo> I have been posting this question for the last three days
[08:03] <hans-solo> Is there a problem with the question? or Am I asking something thats too silly for you guys
[08:03] <dudeperson> okay, i just got a new mp3 phone and i need a program to make my mp3's 64kbps. can anyone help me??
[08:03] <negge> hans-solo: no one dissing you, if you don't get an answer the most likely problem is that no one knows it
[08:03] <negge> hans-solo: are you using ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04?
[08:03] <erpo> hans-solo: As far as Ubuntu question askers go, you're doing all right. The only thing you could do to improve your question would be to mention some reasearch or work you've already done to try to solve the problem yourself.
[08:03] <hans-solo> oh okay
[08:03] <Flannel> hans-solo: Are you on Ubuntu?
[08:03] <remfarkas> hi all
[08:04] <remfarkas> i am trying to install packages on an offline ubuntu, with generating scripts with synaptic
[08:04] <Flannel> hans-solo: Are you on Ubuntu?
[08:05] <hans-solo> Flannel: No I still havn't figured out how to get the network running on the laptop. I am now chatting on good ol' WInXP
[08:05] <remfarkas> to do that, i would need a sources.list and the ehaders for it after apt-get update
[08:05] <joseph> I need some help
[08:05] <joseph> My icon theme wont install O_O
[08:05] <rainwalker> joseph: sorry I'm back
[08:05] <Flannel> hans-solo: no, I mean, with that box.  If so, what does `lsb_release -d` give you?
[08:06] <rainwalker> joseph: what's the problem?
[08:06] <Flannel> hans-solo: Or even if not.  What does lsb_release -d give you?
[08:06] <joseph> Oh hey
[08:06] <joseph> ^_^
[08:06] <joseph> Dunno
[08:06] <joseph> I extract the icon
[08:06] <SiegeX> !sessions | SiegeX
[08:06] <joseph> And drop it
[08:06] <FloodBot3> joseph: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:06] <rainwalker> joseph: don't extract
[08:06] <dudeperson> so no mp3 converters then eh? oh well.
[08:06] <navetz_> what is a good video codec mpeg1 2 or 4, do they make a difference?
[08:06] <hans-solo> Flannel>	it says Ubuntu 8.04
[08:07] <dudeperson> i like divx
[08:07] <rainwalker> dudeperson: install ffmpeg, and then http://www.winff.org/
[08:07] <dudeperson> thanks rainwalker
[08:07] <rainwalker> navetz_: it depends on what you're going to play it on
[08:07] <navetz_> rainwalker: how about for youtube?
[08:07] <navetz_> or possibly flash
[08:07] <joseph> Rainwalker:  The installation still fails.
[08:07] <navetz_> well flash would be fla
[08:08] <rainwalker> navetz_: when you upload to youtube, it automatically converts
[08:08] <Flannel> hans-solo: Alright, and you're sure the package is xf86-video-i810?
[08:08] <rainwalker> joseph: what are you trying to install?
[08:08] <joseph> rainwalker:  Uhm Oxygen-Refit 2
[08:09] <sandman> hi i am unable to mount my windows partition in hardy
[08:09] <sandman> inspite of using ntfs-3g
[08:09] <Chikubu> when do commands in rc.local get executed, before after login manager?  before after X starts?
[08:09] <rainwalker> joseph: from http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+Refit+2?content=79756 right?
[08:09] <navetz_> rainwalker: will youtube accept ogg files?
[08:09] <joseph> rainwalker: Correct
[08:09] <rainwalker> navetz_: I honestly have no idea...one way to find out ;D
[08:10] <hans-solo> Flannel>	no such drivers
[08:10] <rainwalker> joseph: and dragging that .tar.bz2 into the appearance window fails?
[08:10] <joseph> rainwalker: Yes.
[08:11] <Flannel> hans-solo: Right.  So you don't have xf86-video-i810 installed.  Which video driver do you have installed then?
[08:11] <rainwalker> joseph: hang on let me try (I've installed them already, so I don't know why it's not working for you)
[08:11] <hans-solo> how do I find out that
[08:12] <Flannel> hans-solo: dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video
[08:12] <Flannel> hans-solo: (thats an L)
[08:12] <AblaThomas> can anyone help me on seting up pptp on webmin?
[08:13] <Flannel> !webmin | AblaThomas
[08:13] <hans-solo> Flannel>	whole lot of drivers
[08:14] <AblaThomas> !ebox
[08:14] <sandman> hi...is there a way to mount a windows ntfs partition other than ntfs-3g??
[08:14] <Flannel> hans-solo: alright, lets try this one: dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel
[08:15] <Slart> sandman: I think there is some earlier ntfs fs module.. but it's not as good as ntfs-3g and it's read only.. what is wrong with ntfs-3g?
[08:15] <hans-solo> intel i8xx.19xx is installed
[08:15] <Kidfork> I have a .ogg file what file must i convert this into so windows movie maker will understand?
[08:16] <negge> Kidfork: MP3 probably works, or WAV
[08:16] <Slart> Kidfork: sounds like a question for someone who uses windows movie maker, right? ##windows perhaps ?
[08:16] <hans-solo> My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM
[08:16] <sandman> Slart: I am unable to access the partition...i get an error saying "You are not privileged to mount this partition"
[08:16] <negge> sandman: what kind of error do you get when trying to mount it?
[08:16] <negge> sandman: boot into Windows and restart it normally
[08:17] <negge> that should fix it
[08:17] <Kidfork> negge: WAV and MP3 are adio format .ogg is Video format
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> anyone know about sql and how to use it? sql channel sucks ^^
[08:17] <negge> if it doesn't, do a chkdsk on the Windows partition
[08:17] <sandman> at some points of time i get an error saying "Logfile indicates unclean shutdown of windows"
[08:17] <hans-solo> whats the sql issue
[08:17] <negge> Kidfork: it can be audio too.
[08:17] <sandman> so there's clearly a problem with my windows installation
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> i need to receive a Formatted SQL Query result
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> directly through SQL
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> qry?
[08:17] <rainwalker> joseph: I get that same error
[08:17] <negge> Kidfork: atleast I thought it was. If it's video it's a different issue. Try downloading some OGG to AVI converter or something for Windows and convert it there
[08:17] <Slart> sandman: either use "sudo" when you mount it... or if that's not the problem, use the --force option, !ntfs for more info
[08:18] <rainwalker> joseph: just a sec
[08:18] <hans-solo> Formatted SQL query ?
[08:18] <sandman> hmm...will try it..thanks Slart
[08:18] <negge> sandman: just reboot to windows before you try using --force (but try with sudo first if you didn't do that already)
[08:18] <hans-solo> you mena like SELECT * from table where id=xyz
[08:18] <[LMM]Iowahc> nono
[08:18] <[LMM]Iowahc> one moment
[08:18] <joaopinto> Kidfork, try avidemux, it's a video conversion uility available on the repos
[08:18] <Hercules> im trying to install ndiswrpper
[08:19] <Hercules> it says couldnt find packge
[08:19] <sandman> negge: My windows is corrupted...i cannot see the desktop on login...and i want a way to backup my data before i format the partition
[08:19] <hans-solo> how dow I get a users name with the colon without copy pasting and typing here?
[08:19] <[LMM]Iowahc> yep, i need SELECT title, artist.name ... displayed as [Title] - [Artist] as result
[08:19] <Kelen> Why it is not worked while i typed " C-a d" in screen mode?
[08:19] <rainwalker> joseph: try extracting the .tar.bz2 to your .icons folder in your home directory
[08:19] <Kidfork> joaopinto: im tryed them all cinelerra, avidemux, kdenlive, pitivi, but nothing seems to fit my needs
[08:19] <joseph> rainwalker: Alright
[08:19] <joaopinto> Kidfork, :(
[08:19] <hans-solo> phpmyadmin does that for you
[08:20] <hans-solo> Flannel>	any luck?
[08:20] <rainwalker> joseph: to see the hidden folders in the "Extract to" window do control + h
[08:20] <joseph> rainwalker: that worked, haha thanks a lot ^_^
[08:20] <hans-solo> irc://freenode/%5bLMM%5dIowahc,isnick
[08:20] <hans-solo> sorry
[08:20] <rainwalker> joseph: no problem...I really don't know why it does that, it's never happened to me before
[08:20] <hans-solo> trying to figureout this IRC thing
[08:20] <remfarkas> would someone give me a working sources.list and the headers for it?
[08:20] <Hermes> Can someone help me with SSH?
[08:21] <joaopinto> !ask | Hermes
[08:21] <[LMM]Iowahc> hans-solo, i need it to get as result directly, got no interface for it, only a parser which prints the array line per line
[08:21] <Kidfork> Does anybody know the mencoder code to convert .ogg to WMV
[08:21] <Hercules> im trying to install ndiswrpper, but it says cannot find package
[08:21] <Hermes> Want to connect to a computer with SSH, not sure what the usage is
[08:21] <joaopinto> Hercules, it's ndiswrapper
[08:21] <[LMM]Iowahc> sql channel woke up, thx anyway hans-solo
[08:22] <Hercules> thats what i meant
[08:22] <joaopinto> Hercules, ssh user@host
[08:22] <Hercules> my line is: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-
[08:22] <Hermes> I used ssh ipaddress<EMAIL_ADDRESS>didnt work
[08:22] <rainwalker> Kidfork: what are you trying to do?
[08:22] <Hermes> can someone help?
[08:22] <Kidfork> rainwalker: convert a .ogg file to WMV
[08:22] <hans-solo> \j sql
[08:22] <joaopinto> Hermes, do you have opeenssh-server installed and running on the other end ?
[08:22] <Hermes> Yeah
[08:22] <joaopinto> what error do you get ?
[08:23] <Hermes> I can confirm that
[08:23] <rainwalker> Kidfork: install the package ffmpeg, then get winff from www.winff.org
[08:23] <joaopinto> is your ssh server behind a home router ?
[08:23] <Hermes> Not sure
[08:24] <Hermes> There's someone who has installed the openssh server on his computer, he has an account, has given me the password, and I know his IP address
[08:24] <Hermes> I can connect, right?

[08:24] <DJones> Hermes: This page has some useful info on ssh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto ssh user@ipaddress
[08:24] <joaopinto> assuming there is connectivty to it yes, if you can't then it is either shutdown or there is no network to it
[08:24] <Hermes> OK
[08:25] <Hercules> this is weird
[08:25] <joaopinto> can you ping it on the first place ?
[08:25] <dudeperson> ok i got winff and when i click on convert it says it cant open anything
[08:25] <Hercules> it still says it couldnt find package, but i installed it on the live version, now its installed onto the hdd, what is wrong?
[08:26] <negge> Hercules: what are you installing?
[08:26] <joaopinto> if you installed it using the ivelcd, it's not installed on your hdd
[08:26] <bazhang> Hercules, installing it on the live version will be lost once you reboot
[08:26] <Hercules> i know
[08:26] <joaopinto> live
[08:26] <Hercules> but now i actually installed ubuntu to a partition
[08:27] <joseph> How do I go about changing the Ubuntu Menu sign to a image of my choice?
[08:27] <bazhang> !usplash
[08:27] <SiegeX> does ubuntu come with a 256-color capable terminal?
[08:28] <Hermes> I'll deal with this SSH business some other time
[08:28] <Hermes> Bye
[08:29] <dudeperson> is there anything similar to the k-lite codec pack or will that work with ubuntu
[08:29] <microwaver> Anyone experienced a decrease of your performance since the upgrade to 8.04 ?
[08:29] <joaopinto> !codecs
[08:29] <bazhang> dudeperson, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:29] <dudeperson> i got all the restricted stuff i think
[08:29] <bazhang> then medibuntu.org dudeperson
[08:30] <dudeperson> ok
[08:30] <navetz_> is there a way to tell if my cd rom writing laser is broken?
[08:30] <bazhang> ##hardware navetz_
[08:30] <SiegeX> who do I report a bug/unknown feature to? It turns out that gnome-terminal actually does support 256 colors but the terminal codes in /usr/share/terminal/x/ doesnt have one for xterm-256color.  So I ssh'd into my slackware box, copied over the xterm-256color file ran my 256-color shell script test and it worked
[08:31] <bazhang> !bugs | SiegeX
[08:31] <SiegeX> thanks
[08:31] <Hercules> i really dont get this
[08:31] <bazhang> np
[08:31] <esac> how can i tell which version of nvidia driver i have installed ?
[08:31] <Hercules> what am i doing wrong?
[08:31] <joaopinto> esac, dpkg -l nvidia-glx-new (assuming you are using the closed source driver)
[08:32] <esac> i installed it from envyng
[08:32] <Hercules> i type sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common but it says package not found
[08:32] <Hercules> do i need to download the package?
[08:32] <remfarkas> u need a good sources.list then run apt-get update
[08:33] <joaopinto> Hercules, do you have the universe repository enabled ?
[08:33] <joaopinto> !repos | Hercules
[08:33] <Hercules> joaopinto, how would i know?
[08:34] <joaopinto> Hercules, go to the Software Properties menu entry
[08:34] <bazhang> Hercules, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and take a look if there are # marks in front of it
[08:34] <joseph> How do i enter my icon directory?
[08:34] <Gere> Hey, what's a good way to track, and count, bandwidth from a ip adress ?
[08:35] <Hercules> joaopinto, which tab?
[08:35] <Hercules> Community-maintained ope source software is checked
[08:36] <joseph> How do I enter my icon directory folder? /usr/share/icons/
[08:36] <joaopinto> jose__, from the terminal or usint nautlius ?
[08:37] <joseph> Joanopinto: I enter that into the terminal, I need to place a file in one of the folders.. Idunno how
[08:37] <remfarkas> with mc?
[08:37] <joaopinto> jose__, so you want: sudp cp source_file destination
[08:37] <joaopinto> i mean joseph
[08:37] <joaopinto> sudo
[08:37] <Shaba2> anyone here familiar with windwow-->ubuntu vnc packages?
[08:38] <joseph> Joanopinto: So use that followed by the destination?
[08:38] <hans-solo> I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager.
[08:38] <hans-solo> on typing dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel , I find that intel i8xx.19xx is installed.
[08:38] <joaopinto> Shaba2, window vnc packages ??? could you be more clear ?
[08:38] <FuRom> Anyone in here know anything about ettercap, and filters? I can't make the remove() function work, at all. I also can't inject packets.
[08:38] <zhangy> can anyone show me website about how to write window manager?
[08:38] <Shaba2> I am using ultra vnc to connect to and xubuntu machine
[08:38] <zhangy> pls
[08:39] <Shaba2> I used this web page
[08:39] <Gere> joseph: If you want to make /usr/share/icons/ , "cd /usr/share/icons" cd for change directory
[08:39] <joaopinto> zhangy, with all respect but you need to have a hughe experize to write a windows manager
[08:39] <Shaba2> I followed the instruction at http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html
[08:39] <joaopinto> Gere, he just wants to copy a file over there
[08:39] <Shaba2> to set up vnc on the xubuntu machine
[08:39] <zhangy> thanks joaopinto
[08:40] <Shaba2> but what I am seeing here on the windows screen is not what I see on the actual xubuntu laptop
[08:40] <Gere> oh, well listen to them ^^
[08:40] <Shaba2> does that explain it>
[08:40] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, What do you see then?
[08:40] <hans-solo> Where is the xorg.conf in the file system?
[08:40] <FuRom> T_T
[08:40] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, Perhaps upload a screenshot?
[08:41] <Shaba2> Its like its a whole different desktop
[08:41] <negge> hans-solo: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:41] <FuRom> Anyone know a good way to filter packets that are incoming?
[08:41] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, When you connected with your VNC client, did it prompt you to login with a username and password?
[08:41] <Shaba2> and I do not know how to take screen shots of a linux machine so without screen shots of both it would be useless to upload what I am seeing on the windows side only
[08:41] <negge> FuRom: you can use wireshark
[08:42] <Shaba2> yes it did
[08:42] <Shaba2> i used my root pw
[08:42] <Hercules> Windows Wireless Drivers...do i double click that to install it?? I am in the Add/Remove Applications.
[08:42] <Kartagis> i apt-get install'd a package, but it didn't install a menu item. how come? getdeb.net said it would be under Applications>Sound&Video
[08:42] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, There you have it :D
[08:42] <gramm> anybody having problems with eclipse 3.4?  when i try to launch it, it just pops up a blank dialog box (with no controls)...
[08:42] <Gere> "/etx/X11/xorg.conf"
[08:42] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, It's just the way you configured VNC
[08:42] <FuRom> negge, I got it, but I can't find any useful info on it, can you hook me up with some links?
[08:42] <Shaba2> there I have what?
[08:42] <Shaba2> you think you coudl be a bit more specific
[08:42] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, Instead of showing you the current user's session, it gets you to login and creates a NEW session.
[08:43] <KRF> Kartagis, dpkg -L <pkg> | grep /bin
[08:43] <Gere> use "locate word, or mlocate word" to search for word
[08:43] <Shaba2> Ok how do I correct that
[08:43] <Gere> in this case, "locate xorg.conf, or , mlocate xorg.conf"
[08:43] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, I think there's already a VNC server that comes with Ubuntu.
[08:43] <negge> FuRom: are you on hardy or gutsy? The new xorg.conf in hardy doesn't contain much useful info
[08:43] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, I believe it's called "vino"
[08:43] <FuRom> negge, hardy
[08:44] <zhangy> we have a project, i am  responsible for writing a small window manager
[08:44] <Shaba2> yeah  I tried that
[08:44] <Shaba2> no luck getting it to run
[08:44] <negge> FuRom: okay. What are you trying to change?
[08:44] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, And what was the problem?
[08:44] <Shaba2> remember I said Xubuntu
[08:45] <FuRom> negge, I'm trying to just block whispers from being received in myspace chat.
[08:45] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, What, it doesn't have vino?
[08:45] <yurimxpxman> what's an easy way to rename mp3 files according to their tags?
[08:45] <zhangy> i dont know how to do that,and  my boss didnt give me any idea.
[08:45] <dudeperson> ok the codecs didnt work or do i need to reboot
[08:45] <FuRom> negge, I just realized why I couldn't "capture" with wireshark, I had to run it as root. LMAO!
[08:45] <QAH> i am having trouble booting pclinuxos from my external hard drive. can someone help me with it?
[08:46] <danhm> I've got a question about bash scripting: is there any easy way to get yesterday's date? date %F - 1 or something?
[08:46] <hans-solo> I am looking at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It does not mention where I can change the resolution
[08:46] <Kartagis> KRF: /usr/bin/nted
[08:46] <Shaba2> Not that I can see Adlai
[08:46] <KRF> Kartagis, run that one ;)
[08:46] <zhangy> i have google a lot, but i havent found  some useful thing.
[08:47] <hans-solo> Does Linux support Intel graphic cards?
[08:47] <Kartagis> KRF: what about the menu item?
[08:47] <joaopinto> zhangy, if you didn't found on google, you are not going to find it here
[08:47] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, try running /usr/lib/vino/vino-server in a terminal
[08:47] <Shaba2> "bash vino: command not found"
[08:47] <KRF> Kartagis, dont know. maybe you have to create one for yourself
[08:47] <Ahadiel> hans-solo, Yes, there are drivers for intel cards.
[08:47] <joaopinto> anyway, are you sure you want a "windows manage" could you described what is your goal from a functional perspective ?
[08:47] <hans-solo> I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager. on typing dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel , I find that intel i8xx.19xx is installed.
[08:47] <Shaba2> from the actual keyboard of the xubuntu machine Adlai?
[08:48] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, on the Ubuntu machine. And if you are using xchat (or another IRC client), you can use tab-nick-completion. ie. Aha<tab>
[08:48] <IceGuest_75> Anyone ever have any luck getting the s-video out to work on a laptop with ATI Mobility X1400?
[08:48] <zhangy> joaopinto,  can you help me?
[08:48] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, Or Xubuntu* rather
[08:48] <mjreagle> isn't there a text file somewhere you can edit to get the higher resolutions if a video driver can't be successfully found?
[08:49] <Slart> !res | mjreagle
[08:49] <Shaba2> Nope rigght now I am on my windwos machine
[08:49] <Shaba2> using mirc
[08:49] <Shaba2> hold on
[08:49] <DialMan> WTF is with the huge amount of joins/quits/timeouts in here.
[08:49] <Gere> flooding
[08:49] <mjreagle> oh, im sorry, im fine, i was just trying to add something useful to the questions that one guy was having about higher resolutions
[08:50] <zhangy> i have done some coding with gtk+, but i dont know where to go
[08:50] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: couldn't find any that actually works
[08:50] <Slart> mjreagle: ah.. nevermind then =)
[08:50] <danieroux> DialMan, I just installed X-Chat, launched it and automatically got connected here. I wasn't heading here, so see later :-)
[08:50] <Ahadiel> hans-solo, What card do you have?
[08:50] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM
[08:50] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know how to set the wxwidgets variable in code::blocks?
[08:51] <QAH> why won't my pclinuxos Boot from my external hard drive?
[08:51] <Ahadiel> hans-solo, and the "intel" driver did not work for you?
[08:51] <Slart> zhangy: this channel is about ubuntu support.. there are other channels.. try to find a place that discusses programming.. or perhaps even window-managers
[08:52] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: nope
[08:52] <zhangy> ok, Slart,  thank you very much
[08:52] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: I cannot change to a higher resolution
[08:52] <remfarkas> i need a sources.list and the packages list after apt-get update in /var/lib/apt/lists/
[08:53] <zhangy> i will back later
[08:53] <Hercules> now that is just weird
[08:53] <hans-solo> where can I see the properties of the Intel Driver
[08:54] <negge> remfarkas: sources.list for hardy or gutsy?
[08:55] <remfarkas> hardy

[08:59] <negge> remfarkas: 20-30
[08:59] <negge> should I upload them?
[08:59] <remfarkas> i would need them also, to use for offline upgrade
[09:00] <negge> remfarkas: alright, hold on a sec
[09:00] <remfarkas> that would be nice
[09:01] <andrea> mmm
[09:01] <andrea> mmm

[09:03] <osthyvel> Hey, has anyone had problems installing i386 version of Ubuntu 8.04 on a computer with x64 CPU (E7200 to be specific)? The x64 versions works perfect but i need the 32 bit version to run XBMC.
[09:04] <Shaba2> Ahadiel
[09:04] <osthyvel> It hangs before the installation progress begins.
[09:04] <Shaba2> I found /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
[09:05] <Shaba2> but when I type vino-server into a terminal window I get the same message
[09:05] <Shaba2> "bash vino-server: no such command"
[09:05] <remfarkas> negge, u can disable it somewhere in the menu
[09:06] <negge> remfarkas: which menu?
[09:06] <remfarkas> i am currently under win and i dont know well the new gnome and kde menu but i found it somewhere
[09:07] <remfarkas> in administration maybe, dunno
[09:08] <the_hardy_kid> does anyone know of some good themes?
[09:09] <crimsaq> Stoner
[09:10] <the_hardy_kid> wtf?
[09:10] <Pie-rate> is there a command that increases/decreases the volume in gnome, and displays the volume bar thing (like what happens when you hit the volume up/down keys)? i know i can do it with amixer but i want the volume bar.
[09:10] <mjreagle> I have a hard time finding a good theme aside the stock ubuntu theme with desktop effects because if i change it, i'll change it about 20 times a week

[09:39] <leptom> hi
[09:40] <timandtom> Is there a good way to find out what temperature my CPU is currently running at? My fan, which is usually rather quiet, even after hours with me blocking it with my leg, has been really loud for the past few hours, and changes speeds every few seconds :( I'm on an HP laptop(Compaq nx6310)
[09:40] <tomolds> timandtom: more /proc/cpuinfo -- sometimes in there
[09:40] <Slart> timandtom: check out the lmsensors package
[09:41] <Slart> timandtom: there are also lots, lots and lots of little desktop apps that will show you the cpu temperature in all kinds of colorful ways
[09:41] <karex> !lmsensors
[09:41] <negge> why isn't libpcap in the repositories?
[09:41] <Slart> !info libpcap0.8
[09:41] <Slart> negge: I have no idea..
[09:41] <Slart> =)
[09:42] <negge> what the:D
[09:42] <leptom> How do I charge modules from /etc/init.d/modules.sh or /etc/modules? and why?
[09:42] <timandtom> Slart, ok, thanks, I'll look into that/those. Any suggestions? I tend to go for minimalist looks(And performance!), but anything would be nice :)
[09:42] <leptom> I prefer from /etc/modules than create a script for create modules
[09:42] <leptom> sorry
[09:43] <Pie-rate> I'm currently using "amixer sset Master 1+" to increase my volume, is there a way to do it that would show the GNOME volume bar?
[09:43] <leptom> I prefer from /etc/modules than create a script for load modules
[09:43] <tyberion> Slart: I installed sun-java6.. but still if I type java in my console its referring to 1.5.0... where is the binary of the new java stored, you happen to know?
[09:43] <Slart> timandtom: I used conky for a while.. it's nice and light
[09:43] <negge> I just Slart thanks for the hint
[09:43] <Slart> timandtom: but it uses lmsensors for the backend stuff
[09:43] <negge> I just searched for the wrong package name
[09:43] <Slart> negge: you're welcome =)
[09:43] <timandtom> Slart, mmk, is that in Synaptic?
[09:44] <cute_boy_19> hello to everyone

[09:44] <Slart> timandtom: yes, it is
[09:45] <negge> !info gmp
[09:45] <Slart> timandtom: can't remember if it's called lmsensors or just sensors.. but it's there
[09:45] <negge> typical...
[09:45] <negge> Slart: you know where I can get the GMP library for kismet?
[09:45] <Slart> negge: no idea... don't even know what it is
[09:45] <timandtom> Slart, alright, thanks a bunch :) I'll try both those out.
[09:45] <negge> Slart: okay:D
[09:45] <leptom> timandtom: lm-sensors

[09:50] <karex> XB23: try sudo --help or man sudo
[09:50] <Shaba2> I assumed that
[09:50] <Shaba2> but it will not run on my laptop
[09:51] <Shaba2> it took me twelve hours of figthing with it before someone here told me to try xubuntu.
[09:51] <Shaba2> 45 minutes later it was up and running
[09:51] <slowz> can you not use sudo -u user -p password ?
[09:52] <definitely> Anyone know how to make that Sidebar in Screenlet, i pasted some screenlets into it, and it only shows things in one desktop
[09:52] <karex> Shaba2: so, the solution?
[09:53] <Shaba2> for you?
[09:53] <Shaba2> I have no idea
[09:54] <karex> i'm sorry, i've to go. thank, you.
[09:54] <Shaba2> bye
[09:55] <Slart> XB23: sudo -S makes sudo read the password from stdin instead of keyboard...
[09:55] <XB23> ah i see
[09:55] <XB23> so how would i issue it?
[09:56] <crab> hi. is there something other than update-rc.d i can use to manage my rc*.d->init.d links? (not like ntsysv, more like chkconfig.)
[09:56] <raheem> !update-rc.d
[09:57] <Slart> XB23: well.. I'm just guessing here but "echo "mypassword" | sudo bla bla bla" might work
[09:58] <Slart> XB23: sorry.. echo mypassword | sudo -S bla bla bla ... of course =)
[09:58] <crab> or... is update-rc.d actually the preferred way to manage them?
[09:58] <raheem> crab: u can use update-rc.d as u use chkconfig .. for eg.. update-rc.d <process> start 0123 stop 456
[09:59] <RonLut> Is there any way to request password when double-clicking a folder? So the folder will be password protected.
[09:59] <crab> i know how to use update-rc.d.
[09:59] <raheem> that will make that process start at runlevel 0123 and stop at 456
[09:59] <raheem> k ..
[09:59] <raheem> :)
[09:59] <miono> &/1
[10:00] <miono> Sorry
[10:00] <jords> RonLut: You can use truecrypt and make a file hosted encrypted volume, but it takes a lot more than clicking on the folder to open it...
[10:00] <Slart> RonLut: I don't think so.. either the permissions say you can't read it or you can.. but there are lots of security addons for file permissions.. there might be something out there
[10:01] <RonLut> jords&Slart: Thank you very much again ;)
[10:01] <miono> I have a small problem, tried to shutdown GDM with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" from the shell at Ctrl+Alt+F1. Everything seems to have worked out alright, but now I still get: root      6416  3.7  3.2<PHONE_NUMBER>2 tty7     SLs+ Jun17 511:43 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
[10:01] <miono> when running 'ps aux | grep gdm'
[10:02] <jords> RonLut: A permission based solution won't prevent someone taking out your hard disk and accessing the data - so if its really important encryption is the way to go
[10:02] <raheem> crab: check this out http://boilinglinux.blogspot.com/2007/12/chkconfig-in-ubuntu.html
[10:03] <Caesi> irc://irc.dairc.net/mexicanmafia
[10:03] <Caesi> sry
[10:04] <RonLut> jords: I Just need my little brother to be unable to access it... I have there some important school works that he once deleted me accidentally (He is just 6 years old)....
[10:04] <RonLut> jords: maybe can I make this folder hidden?
[10:05] <Slart> RonLut: Backups would be the answer to that.. and letting him have a login of his own
[10:06] <raheem> RonLut .. may be  make it hidden .. u can add a . (dot) to the beginning of the folder .. it will be hidden
[10:06] <jords> RonLut: Putting a . at the start of the name will make a folder or file hidden
[10:06] <Slart> RonLut: or just keep your stuff on another partition and only mount it when you're working on it
[10:07] <xitrox> hi... can i put the option force=1 into /etc/modules to force a module to load???
[10:07] <RonLut> Thank you very much everyone... I just found that in ubuntu forums.... :)
[10:08] <kurugah> hi, after installing the latest updates my wifi is gone. i tried to ifup which wouldnt work. how can i find out what updates i installed and how can i remove those updates?
[10:08] <Espy> ciao ragazzi..
[10:09] <timandtom> Slart, hey, been a bit busy the last few minutes... But I installed that lm-sensors and c something thing... Can't find em. How do I access em?
[10:09] <gronne> Is linux developing faster nowadays?
[10:09] <Slart> timandtom: run conky from a terminal
[10:09] <miono> gronne: Probably developing exponentially :)
[10:10] <remfarkas> gronne, depends on what distro
[10:10] <gronne> miono: You mean it's a dramatic development?
[10:11] <gronne> remfarkas: Sure, but Linux in general, and the kernel
[10:11] <miono> gronne: Well, since the user-base is growing, the developer-base should be growing aswell...
[10:11] <remfarkas> yup, thats the point
[10:13] <miono> gronne: there is a really fun site that tracks development of some open source projects with a cool video.
[10:13] <gronne> miono: sounds awesome :) The user-base has increased quite a lot lately, I've come to understand. I thought most of the programmers already used linux anyway, that it wouldn't make a bigger change, but I'd be thrilled if it gets greater!
[10:13] <timandtom> Slart, ah, ok. Do you know of anything like this that is just on the desktop, not a separate window? Widget, deskjet, thingy, I dunno, the damned names change every time I turn around...
[10:13] <miono> gronne: Check it out: http://www.vimeo.com/1093745
[10:13] <RonLut> How can I see my hardware temperatures easily?
[10:13] <miono> gronne: Some information about it: http://vis.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ogawa/codeswarm/
[10:14] <miono> RonLut: you could use "sensors" if you have lm-sensors installed
[10:14] <raheem> RonLut .. install conky
[10:15] <RonLut> conky is enough? without lm-sensors...? what's the difference
[10:15] <kurugah> where are the logs of the update manager stored and how do i remove updates?
[10:15] <miono> raheem: Hm, can conky operate without lm-sensors?
[10:16] <ArrowLance> hey, i'm having a problem with screen resolution, i can't set it higher than 640x480.
[10:16] <raheem> hhm.. i haven't installed lmsensors ... but, conky does it itself or not, i am not sure
[10:16] <raheem> but, with conky, i am getting those cpu temperature + a lot
[10:16] <raheem> !conky
[10:16] <miono> raheem: Are you sure you didn't already have lm-sensors installed?
[10:17] <raheem> i didn't install it myself..
[10:17] <karl> my 8.04 doesn't see all 4 gigs of ram...how can i make it?
[10:17] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know if theres anyway to make gimp have two colour text? Like one colour outline, one colour fill?
[10:17] <RonLut> raheem: I installed conky but I don't see there temperatures. only cpu ussage and etc.
[10:18] <raheem> RonLut .. please see the ubuntuforums.org search for conkyrc
[10:18] <donda> i m not able to install any packages .it says please close another synaptic or aptitude
[10:19] <donda> i m not able to install any packages .it says please close another synaptic or aptitude
[10:19] <gronne> miono: yeah that was a pretty neat video :) I'm really eager to see linux take shares, because if the nature of linux is that it develops faster the more people use it, and it's going fast now I wonder what it'll be like when "we" have like 10-15% of the market share! That alone should make people want to switch!
[10:20] <fma243> i need help
[10:20] <fma243> i just installed ubuntu
[10:21] <fma243> and forgot to make partitions
[10:21] <toru_> od_python
[10:21] <fma243> now i want to make partitions what show i do
[10:21] <fma243> any one there
[10:21] <gronne> fma243: If you're concerned about fragmentation, it's a minor issue in linux
[10:22] <raheem> fma243: install gparted
[10:22] <fma243> i dont have any problem with fragment tation
[10:22] <fma243> where can i get gparted
[10:22] <raheem> in the System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[10:22] <fma243> because there is only one file systm which is full of files it tends to get annoying seeing all those files i want a clean hard start
[10:23] <fw0127_s> why usb-live disk leads to busy-box, hardy?
[10:23] <gronne> fma243: that's a good enough reason. Haven't tried gparted, but give it a go
[10:24] <miono> Gparted is very easy if you dislike fdisk, it's a good pick.
[10:24] <raheem> fma243: gparted is the gnome partitioner . u can remove / add / expand partitions
[10:24] <pavan> does anyone know how to use google desktop gadgets on ubuntu 8.04?
[10:25] <pavan> hello pl help me here
[10:25] <raheem> pavan: no idea :(
[10:26] <fw0127_s> why usb-live disk leads to busy-box, hardy?
[10:26] <RonLut> raheem: I didn't find there something that explains me how to see temp.:\
[10:26] <fma243> btw i am still using ubuntu 7.04 how much data will i have to download to upgrade to 8.04
[10:26] <remfarkas> for me usb workscorrect
[10:26] <remfarkas> on hardy
[10:28] <raheem> RonLut: wait. .. let me give u the links
[10:28] <miono> RonLut: have you checked conky.sourceforge.net ? There you can see all variables that can be used in conky.
[10:29] <fw0127_s> rem: i use usb as boot-up disk,but after show the screen, then it stops at the commandline windwon with the initrams tools
[10:29] <shishirm1> hey guys how to install firefox 3 in ubuntu 7.04
[10:29] <remfarkas> pff.. i didnot use ubuntu on usb yet
[10:30] <remfarkas> with adept
[10:30] <erUSUL> fma243: you will have to do 7.04-->7.10-->8.04 and the data depends on the apps you have installed
[10:30] <pavan> what does tar.gz means
[10:30] <fw0127_s> what?
[10:30] <gronne> shishirm1: What's the problem? should there be?
[10:30] <pavan> and how to view does kindof files?
[10:30] <bazhang> remfarkas, adept is for kubuntu
[10:30] <shishirm1> i have the tarball unpacked it
[10:30] <miono> pavan: It's a "tarball" thats compressed with Gzip"
[10:30] <erUSUL> pavan: is a tar archive compressed with gzip. It is like a rar or zip file
[10:30] <shishirm1> tried running using a shell script in the untarred folder
[10:30] <shishirm1> but firefox 2 only opens
[10:30] <neeto> I have an AHCI SATA controller which an eSATA external drive is plugged into. The drive does not show up in /dev/. I have tried restarting hal, but to no avail. Any other suggestions?
[10:31] <alexei> hi, do i have to install Kubuntu to use KDE? Does Ubuntu offer a choice between Gnome and KDE at installation?
[10:31] <pavan> k
[10:31] <shishirm1> pavan: tar.gz are compressed file like .zip in windows also called tarballs
[10:31] <miono> alexei: you should be able to install KDE afterwards.
[10:31] <raheem> alexi: yes .. u can install KDE over ubuntu
[10:31] <neeto> alexei: ubuntu comes with gnome, but you can install and use KDE instead after installation
[10:31] <pavan> i installation file in tar.gz but i am not able to install it
[10:31] <bazhang> pavan, what file
[10:32] <fma243> i just installed gparted but it isnt making partitions doesnt give me any option
[10:32] <shishirm1> pavan: right click and click on extract here
[10:32] <Gere> pavan, it its am archive file type
[10:32] <miono> pavan: First you will need to extract the files out of the tarball.
[10:32] <gronne> shishirm1: isn't it available in synaptic?
[10:32] <pavan> ok
[10:32] <shishirm1> not in mine i have 7.04
[10:32] <miono> pavan: I guess you can use something like "tar xvzf <filename>"
[10:32] <Gere> you can always try the command "type file_x" and it will give you a bried description of the file type
[10:32] <shishirm1> i tried doing apt-get update also
[10:32] <alexei> are the distributed Ubuntu images with broken OpenSSL still?
[10:32] <yango> I'm using 7.04 and my apt-get dist-upgrade removes upstart and places sysvinit in its place, can I just install it back?
[10:33] <Gere> where file_x is the file in question, and type being the command
[10:33] <Flannel> alexei: Yes, not until 8.04.1 will the ISOs themselves be updated
[10:33] <shishirm1>  gronne: i tried updating the synaptic also
[10:33] <bazhang> fma243, better to have a gparted livecd to do that, if you are talking about the drive your ubuntu partition is on
[10:33] <Flannel> alexei: (which will be pretty soon)
[10:33] <miono> pavan: Not 100 % sure about the syntax of that, try "man tar" to get exact info.
[10:33] <pavan> ok
[10:34] <raheem> RonLut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865
[10:34] <miono> pavan: The x is for "extract" the v is for "verbose" z is for "gzip" and f is for "file".
[10:34] <bazhang> pavan, what installation file
[10:34] <fma243> ummmmm
[10:34] <shishirm1> pavan: tar -xzvf <filename> if i am not wrong
[10:34] <gronne> shishirm1: I found it there
[10:34] <yango> miono: new tar versions autodetect compression format
[10:34] <amina> What is the simplest way to make the content of a folder available online?
[10:34] <raheem> RonLut: copy & paste the first one to a file .. save it as .conkyrc in your home folder
[10:34] <the_hardy_kid> is it possible to integrate the terminal into the desktop?
[10:34] <miono> yango: Oh, didn't know that :D
[10:34] <fma243> so should i install ubuntu again
[10:34] <shishirm1> gronne: hmmm
[10:34] <yango> amina: install windows
[10:34] <yango> :D
[10:34] <bazhang> amina, for what purpose
[10:34] <pavan> its a google linux gadgets installation file
[10:34] <gronne> shishirm1:  maybe you need to add another rep
[10:35] <shishirm1> amina:  there is no simple way accept archiving it and mailing
[10:35] <tomolds> amina: Upload it to a webserver?
[10:35] <shishirm1> amina:  complex way is install apache and port forward your router
[10:35] <alexei> Flannel:  where do I get 8.04.1RC or similar?
[10:35] <shishirm1> which one?
[10:35] <bazhang> pavan, the google repos dont have it? better to install that way if possible.
[10:35] <shishirm1> gronne: which one?
[10:35] <ArrowLance> Hey, i can't get my screen resolution to get any higher that 640 x 480. anyway i could fix that?
[10:36] <gronne> shishirm1: the 3:rd one... if you use Add/remove... won't it say it's 3?
[10:36] <amina> shishirm1: archiving doesn't work for me because the folder is updated very often and people will access it very often too
[10:36] <bazhang> ArrowLance, what vid card what drivers how installed
[10:36] <amina> shishirm1: so there's nothing simpler than apache for making a folder accessible over the internet?
[10:36] <miono> amina: Then you'll need to run a webserver on the computer.
[10:36] <miono> amina: "apt-get install apache2"
[10:36] <the_hardy_kid> is it possible to integrate the terminal into the desktop?
[10:37] <miono> amina: That will install apache2
[10:37] <bazhang> amina, what will be in the folder
[10:37] <shishirm1> amina: nope
[10:37] <Flannel> alexei: You can get dailys I guess.  There is no RC status sort of thing as far as I know.  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/
[10:37] <shishirm1> gronne: may be there is you have google it..
[10:37] <amina> bazhang: pictures mainly but some documents too
[10:37] <tomolds> amina: Depending on your experience expect to spend some time learning..
[10:37] <shishirm1>  gronne: that was not for you
[10:37] <shishirm1> gronne:  i dint understand
[10:37] <bazhang> amina, for pictures get a flickr account or similar
[10:37] <kurugah> hi, after installing the latest updates my wifi is gone. i tried to ifup which wouldnt work. how can i find out what updates i installed and how can i remove those updates?
[10:38] <amina> tomolds: I'm ok with that, I'm just afraid of spending time on unnecessary things when there's a simpler way out there
[10:38] <XB23> how do i see how much of a quota is left and how much in total a user has?
[10:38] <gnullo> Hi, I'm thinking about downloading Ubuntu (I'm using fedora now); I'm trying to decide wether to get the 64 bit version or not. Are there any compatibility problems with it? (with Fedora I'm having scattered problems because I'm using the x64 edition; flash won't work, etc)
[10:38] <amina> bazhang: no the volume is simply too high
[10:38] <gronne> shishirm1: you know "add/remove" in "applications"?
[10:38] <bazhang> amina, nothing is easier than flickr, or just a blog
[10:38] <shishirm1> gronne: yep it has firefox and its already installed
[10:39] <XB23> how do i see how much of a quota is left and how much in total a user has?
[10:39] <tomolds> bazhang: Doesn't solve the problem though
[10:39] <gronne> shishirm1: in the text doesn't it say it's version 3?
[10:39] <shishirm1> nope
[10:39] <bazhang> tomolds, aye, but a webserver is not that easy to setup for newcomers
[10:39] <amina> bazhang: it wouldn't work I think. the person using the computer receives ~100 images a day, filters them and then makes them available to other people
[10:40] <ArrowLance> bazhang, I'm not really sure. But it all worked until the last update i did. It's an Nvidia card and it has the drivers ubuntu had me download
[10:40] <Flannel> shishirm1: Feisty doesn't have firefox 3 available, even in backports
[10:40] <bazhang> shishirm1, why not get gutsy
[10:40] <tomolds> amina: If they are also using Linux why not just scp them?
[10:40] <alexei> what do I do to fix the SSH/SSL  crypto keys right after install of Kubuntu 8.04?
[10:40] <gronne> shishirm1: there's your answer.. sorry I had no idea.. seemed really weird, that's all :)
[10:40] <Flannel> shishirm1: If you're dead set against upgrading (feisty reaches EOL in four months, by the way), you can do this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[10:40] <bazhang> alexei, just update
[10:40] <ArrowLance> im just a bit upset because i was not having any problems until recently
[10:41] <gronne> bazhang: why do you recommend gutsy? instead of hardy?
[10:41] <bazhang> alexei, if this is a fresh install that is
[10:41] <amina> tomolds: they are not. they are on windows and are used to access the file with their web browser (I used to have a small web/file server on windows but now that I switched to ubuntu I'm looking for an alternative)
[10:41] <Buris> hy
[10:41] <bazhang> gronne, less of a transition
[10:41] <pavan> i have a directory on desktop , now i want the terminal to point to that file
[10:41] <Flannel> gronne: Just because it'd be a single update.  He could go to Hardy if he wanted.
[10:41] <alexei> bazhang: do the keys get re-generated?
[10:42] <Flannel> pavan: install nautilus-open-terminal, and then right click and "open terminal here" or whatever it says
[10:42] <bazhang> alexei, you need to do it if this is an upgrade
[10:42] <codecowboy> ANyone know of the cause of 'Interrupt: pin ? routed to IRQ 18' from lspci -vv of a wireless card. I believe the pin should be A or B?
[10:42] <pavan> ok
[10:42] <pavan> thanks
[10:42] <tomolds> amina: There are many more possibilities available with Linux, the problem is trivial if you 1) use Hamachi to make the network appear transparent then share a folder that way or just use putty from the windows machine and SSH into the linux box and take the pics
[10:42] <gronne> Ok, I haven't used it long enough I guess :)
[10:42] <tomolds> amina: Hamachi will solve your problems.
[10:43] <raheem> XB23: http://beginlinux.com/index.php/desktop_training/com_m/users-and-groups/49-manageusersandgroups/329-quota
[10:43] <miono> amina: My money goes with installing Apache.
[10:43] <alexei> bazhang:  fresh install + update == good keys?
[10:43] <Flannel> alexei: well, + update + entropy, yes
[10:44] <bazhang> alexei, were you using ssl before?
[10:44] <karl> my 8.04 doesn't see all 4 gigs of ram installed, but around 3.5...how can i make it see them all?
[10:44] <amina> tomolds: No idea what Hamachi is. I'll look into that...otherwise yeah apache
[10:44] <miono> karl: You basically can't if you have a 32bit processor.
[10:44] <karl> i have a core2duo, but have 32bit kubuntu installed
[10:45] <alexei> bazhang:  suse update destroyed my installation, need a fresh install. Kubuntu distros have buggy SSL, no newer images...
[10:45] <miono> karl: You'll need to install 64bit kubuntu in that case.
[10:45] <tomolds> amina: Hamachi gives every host a unique IP which eliminates problems with the router incorrectly forwarding ports.
[10:45] <karl> i heard it was buggy
[10:45] <bazhang> alexei, in that case a fresh install and lots of updates=no worries
[10:45] <Flannel> alexei: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/13/openssh-openssh-vulnerabilities-confirm-fix-instructions/ has all the info you'll want
[10:45] <DJones> karl: Does your graphics card share memory with the main system? Thats one reason that I've seen mentioned why it doesn't always show the full memory in the system, if the gpu has reserved some memory
[10:46] <karl> DJones  - that isn't the case
[10:46] <karl> it's the kernel
[10:46] <miono> karl: There is no way a 32bit OS can allocate more that 3.5 GB of RAM.
[10:46] <bazhang> karl then either lose that small amount of ram, or 'upgrade' (full reinstall) to 64bit
[10:47] <Flannel> karl: Or switch to the server kernel
[10:47] <karl> guess i'll be reinstalling, then
[10:47] <RonLut> miono I pasted the code from the .conkyrc but I still don't see temperature
[10:47] <alexei> bazhang, Flannel:  thanks
[10:47] <bazhang> np
[10:48] <amina> thanks everyone
[10:48] <miono> RonLut: Okay, I don't know super-everything about conky, but my guess is that you need to install lm-sensors in order for it to work with temperatures.
[10:48] <gronne> I'll propably buy a laptop with 4 gb ram. I've heard there are compatibility-issues using 64-bit. true?
[10:49] <miono> gronne: I use 64-bit version of Ubuntu on my computer. I see no reason to run 32-bit OS when you have a 64-bit processor.
[10:49] <gnullo> miono; compatibilty with 32bit apps?
[10:49] <miono> It's like buying a BMW 530 and deciding to only drive in 50 km/h :P
[10:49] <miono> gnullo: Never had any problems with it.
[10:50] <gnullo> You use flash for anything (eg youtube)?
[10:50] <gronne> miono: comforting enough :) I thought there could be problems running some 32-bit software in 64-bit
[10:50] <Newy11> i allways had problems with my widescreen with 64bit :(
[10:50] <gnullo> gronne; I'm having problems with that -but I'm using a different distro
[10:51] <gronne> gnullo: which distro, and does it take care of the problems just like that?
[10:51] <bazhang> offtopic...
[10:51] <gronne> gnullo: sorry, read too fast :)
[10:51] <alexei> what is the analogous of yast in ubuntu?
[10:52] <gnullo> Gronne np :)
[10:52] <gronne> gnullo: how do the errors appear?
[10:53] <gausie> my password has a < in it, but if-ever i type it into shell, i get unexpected token errors - how can i avoid this without changing my password?
[10:53] <gordonjcp> gausie: try sticking a backslash before it
[10:54] <gordonjcp> gausie: what do you mean by "type it into shell" anyway?
[10:54] <gnullo> Personally, I'm having two differnet problems; I'm using Fedora 9/64 and I can't get flash to work and I'm having problems with vmplayer. I'm considering getting ubuntu (I like the fact it's supported until 2011/2013 instead of until 2009 ;)) -I just havne't decided on the arch (32 or 64)
[10:54] <karl> alexel: aptitude
[10:54] <pepe_swash> hello. a program, i don't know which one writes down a mtab each reboot, overwriting what i changed for a particular mount. Any idea on the culprit?
[10:54] <gausie> gordonjcp: typing it into terminal sorry
[10:54] <karl> alexel: aka Synaptic
[10:54] <gnullo> gronne so the problem is I can't get the apps to work :)
[10:54] <gordonjcp> gausie: in a password prompt?
[10:54] <gausie> yes
[10:55] <geirha> pepe_swash: mtab is supposed to be cleared each reboot, you should never edit it manually
[10:55] <gronne> gnullo: as easy as that :) well, we all need to make the transition eventually anyway!
[10:56] <gnullo> Yeah; I just don't want to install ubuntu and find I have no flash. :|
[10:56] <neeto> is there a way to permanently change options in /sys/?
[10:57] <gnullo> I think I'll read the 64 bit area of ubuntuforums, then. :)
[10:57] <pepe_swash> geirha: duh! That explains the situation . :s  Any idea where the mounts written in come from? i have a ntfs partition mount at boot, i need to change toe options (i did that in fstab) but 'something' writes down always the same unuseful ones to mtab
[10:57] <pepe_swash> geirha: toe->tHe
[10:57] <plouffe> is there a good time management and/or project management package for ubuntu?
[10:57] <gronne> gnullo: that's a reasonable way to find out, yes :)
[10:57] <alexei> karl: thanks, will need it soon...
[10:58] <geirha> pepe_swash: the mount command writes its mounts to mtab. You should edit /etc/fstab to change mount-options. man fstab
[10:58] <RonLut> I isntalled lm-sensors, I installed corky, I made .corkyrc file with this content: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23271/ but still I don't see temperature
[10:59] <pepe_swash> geirha:  that's what i did. here is what i have in fstab
[10:59] <pepe_swash> "/dev/sda4                                  /data           ntfs         nls=iso8859-1,umask=0222,sync,gid=46,dirsync  0  1  "
[10:59] <pepe_swash> and here is what i get in mtab
[10:59] <pepe_swash> "/dev/sda4 /data fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,dirsync,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096 0 0"
[11:00] <Slart> RonLut: trying to get temperatures for your hd?
[11:00] <Slart> RonLut: and it's coNky.. not corky
[11:01] <geirha> pepe_swash: looks about right, doesn't it? I'd change the last 1 on your fstab-line btw. Change it to either 2 or 0
[11:01] <RonLut> Slart: yea I know... typo. the file IS .conkyrc and the installed is conky... :)
[11:02] <jc_denton_> I installed the nvidia drivers via the h/w drivers dialog but now I only have 600 as a resolution
[11:02] <RonLut> Slart: I see the program, but on temperature it shows 0C, I wish it was reality
[11:02] <jc_denton_> *640x480
[11:02] <pepe_swash> geirha: looks, but if mount takes from fstab to mtab, something's wrong as it's not the same options..
[11:02] <Slart> RonLut: I had to install something else for hd temperatures.. hang on.. I'll check
[11:03] <jc_denton_> How can I get the driver to recognise my monitor is capable of higher resolutions?
[11:03] <Slart> !info hddtemp | RonLut
[11:03] <Slart> RonLut: I'll pastebin my conkyrc.. I get temperatures for all my drives..
[11:03] <RonLut> Slart: HDD is not that insteresting... I'm more interested in CPU temp and graphic card temp.
[11:04] <pepe_swash> geirha: changed fstab for a test...rebooting..
[11:04] <pepe_swash> geirha: thanks for helping
[11:04] <Slart> RonLut: but you haven't inserted any commands for that in the .conkyrc?
[11:04] <Slart> RonLut: or did I miss it?
[11:05] <RonLut> Slart: It's not mine .conkyrc, It's from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1648563&postcount=7
[11:05] <pavan> i have downloaded nautilus-open-terminal but it isnt showing when i right click on the directory
[11:05] <RonLut> And I do have cpu temp in conky, but it shows 0
[11:05] <Slart> RonLut: ahh.. nevermind .. I found it
[11:05] <RonLut> and hdd shows 0 as well
[11:05] <slowz> mount -a ..... no need to reboot
[11:06] <slowz> ohh well some still live the life of windows
[11:06] <RonLut> Slart: In your .conkyrc do you have graphic card temp?
[11:07] <Slart> RonLut: nope.. I wasn't that interested in that when I made it..
[11:07] <Bok^^> heY

[11:08] <Bok^^> a
[11:08] <Slart> RonLut: did you try using the acpi temperature?
[11:08] <Bok^^> can help me
[11:08] <RonLut> Slart: hmmm. So i guess the .conkyrc I'm using should show the temp., but it doesn't :\
[11:08] <Bok^^> ?
[11:08] <pavan>  i have downloaded nautilus-open-terminal but it isnt showing when i right click on the directory
[11:08] <bazhang> Bok^^, no
[11:08] <ikonia> Bok^^: you can't run a bot in this channel (if thats what you want to do)
[11:08] <Bok^^> why

[11:09] <DaveKong> where would be the right place to post about a making a GIS flavor of ubuntu ( assuming there is not already one)
[11:09] <dna_> hi, installing ati 8.6 catalyst drivers makes my machine restart by itself, i have radeon hd 3870, any idea how to fix that?
[11:09] <Mad_Gouki> botnets take control of zombied machines iirc
[11:09] <slowz> wow trigger finger ;P
[11:09] <ikonia> DaveKong: GIS ?
[11:10] <RonLut> Slart: no. I installed now, how do I run it?
[11:10] <pavan>  i have downloaded nautilus-open-terminal but it isnt showing when i right click on the directory. can anyone help me on this issue?
[11:10] <DaveKong> ikonia:  geographical information systems
[11:10] <wangfg_> anyone use usb as install disk?
[11:10] <ikonia> DaveKong: what do you mean by a GIS flavour of ubuntu ? what needs to be changed
[11:10]  * TB` slaps Mad_Gouki upside the botnet
[11:10] <lex0> how do i move files from folder to folder as root?
[11:10] <Slart> RonLut: no, in conky you can get the temperature from a lot of different places.. you can use acpi, i2c or other weird sensors
[11:10] <Mad_Gouki> is nautilus-open-terminal supposed to give you the option to open a terminal from the right click menu?
[11:11] <Mad_Gouki> lex0, sudo cp stuff/stuff/stuff goes/here/to/this
[11:11] <pavan> i guess
[11:11] <DaveKong> ikonia: I mean one which is configured with apps etc specifically for doing gis work like how there is the studio version
[11:11] <RonLut> Slart: oh :-[
[11:11] <Mad_Gouki> or you can do su, and do cp that way, but a lot of people like sudo
[11:11] <ikonia> DaveKong: make your own, it seems a bit pointless though unless kernel tweaks are made
[11:12] <ikonia> DaveKong: one of the drivers behind ubuntu studio is the real time kernel patch, so unless your idea needs changes like that it seems pointless to build another version thats just ubuntu with specific apps installed by default
[11:13] <Slart> RonLut: here are some info about getting cpu temp in conky
[11:13] <RonLut> Slart: I don't really know what to do... I guess I'll leave it for now. There is no graphical tool as everest in windows to see all hardware info and temperatures?
[11:13] <Mad_Gouki> a lot of stuff in linux is command line
[11:14] <susa> hello
[11:14] <Mad_Gouki> http://www.xawk.com/ubuntu-cpu-temperature.html
[11:14] <Mad_Gouki> theres a guide on how to get a graphical monitor of temps, voltages, fan speeds
[11:15] <alecs> hey guys!
[11:15] <Slart> RonLut: there has to be a simple applet for it..
[11:15] <susa> when i apply a theme it only takes effect on the windows, how can i make it effect the taskbars and the background + icons etc?
[11:15] <DaveKong> ikonia: I am not sure right now I just thought it might be nice for setting up a computer lab
[11:15] <bazhang> susa, depends on the theme; some are minimal
[11:16] <alecs> i just bought a pais of headphones genius HS-04U and i have a problem ... i cannot hear anything ...
[11:16] <alecs> anyone know how could i fix this ?
[11:16] <Mad_Gouki> they must be broken ;)
[11:16] <Kaell> is there a script that runs when i get an IP via DHCP?
[11:16] <Kaell> does "if-up.d" run then?
[11:16] <orphean> Slart: try sensors-applet
[11:17] <amina> I'm trying to mount a filesystem (another disk partition) but the file manager wants me to be root. I know how to sudo in the command line, but what is the equivalent with the GUI?
[11:17] <Kaell> where is the proper place to hook when i get an IP?
[11:17] <Mad_Gouki> you can do $sudo nautilus
[11:17] <orphean> amina: gksu
[11:17] <Mad_Gouki> or make a su shell
[11:17] <RonLut> Slart: http://wiki.hardinfo.org/Screenshots maybe good...
[11:17] <ikonia> Kaell: dhclient gets your ip address for you
[11:17] <pavan> in terminal how to point to the directory which is in desktop
[11:17] <TB`> What's the next Ubuntu ver to come out?
[11:17] <Slart> !info computertemp | RonLut
[11:18] <alecs> Mad_Gouki: i still hear in my laptop speaker ... so, i think is a "drivers" issue (they are connected via USB)
[11:18] <amina> orphean: gksu...?
[11:18] <bazhang> !ibex | TB`
[11:18] <TB`> Oh right thanks
[11:18] <orphean> amina: gksu <the gui app i want to run as root> :)
[11:18] <Kaell> ikonia - i have no "dhclient"
[11:18] <orphean> amina: works like sudo but for... gui apps...
[11:18] <microwaver> negge, I found 'a solution' to my slow performance
[11:18] <Kaell> i have dhcdbd ?
[11:18] <amina> orphean: I don't know what the app is for the file manager
[11:18] <susa> bazhang: how so i no what they contain?
[11:18] <ikonia> Kaell: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[11:18] <orphean> amina: gksu nautilus
[11:18] <bazhang> susa best to check the screenshot and the info on the page
[11:19] <Kaell> 8.04
[11:19] <RonLut> Slart: I'll try them both now... thanks
[11:19] <amina> orphean: thanks a lot
[11:19] <Kaell> Ubuntu 8.04 \n \l     Linux odt2 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:19] <pavan> in terminal how to point to the directory plz help me
[11:19] <orphean> pavan: what do you mean 'point'
[11:19] <pavan> ?
[11:19] <KrimZon> cd
[11:20] <Kaell> i have no idea what your question means Pav5088
[11:20] <Kaell> pavan*
[11:20] <ikonia> Kaell: I would be very surprised if you didn't have dhclient on your system, as thats installed by default on an 8.04 desktop
[11:20] <Kaell> i'm running as root... i did find / -name dhc*
[11:20] <pavan> i mean that i want to open terminal on that directory address
[11:20] <Kaell> it found 3 files
[11:20] <Kaell> all three were named dhcdbd
[11:20] <ikonia> Kaell: ls -la /sbin/dhclient
[11:20] <orphean> pavan: cd ~/
[11:21] <Kaell> /usr/sbin/dhcdbd /usr/share/doc/dhcdbd /etc/init.d/dhcdbd
[11:21] <orphean> pavan: that gets you to your home directory. the Desktop folder is in there. so cd Desktop would be the next command
[11:21] <abdullah> f
[11:21] <Kaell> hmm
[11:21] <Kaell> i do have it
[11:21] <Kaell> strange
[11:21] <ikonia> Kaell: no - ls -la /sbin/dhclient
[11:21] <abdullah> hello every one
[11:21] <alexei> how do I get console output at boot time instead of boot splash in Kubuntu?
[11:21] <zerok> hi everyone :)
[11:21] <pavan> ok thanks
[11:21] <Kaell> why does my find not find it???
[11:21] <abdullah> hi  zerok
[11:21] <Kaell> /sbin/dhclient -> dhclient3
[11:21] <MegaMan_EXE> Does anyone know where to find a complied driver for Agere that works in Hardy
[11:21] <ikonia> Kaell: thats better
[11:22] <the_hardy_kid> how do you edit open source?
[11:22] <bazhang> the_hardy_kid, what do you mean
[11:22] <abdullah> how can I add more features in my system
[11:22] <RonLut> Slart: how do I run computertemp :-X?
[11:22] <zerok> the_hardy_kid, is this a philosophical question?
[11:22] <orphean> alexei: you need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' kernel options
[11:22] <Kaell> i guess i needed quotes around the dhc*
[11:22] <orphean> alexei: be careful editing that file, back it up first.
[11:22] <ikonia> Kaell: yes, find requires 'dhcli*' -print
[11:22] <mattysp> this is the place im looking for
[11:23] <Kaell> we.... this works:    find / -name "dhc*"
[11:23] <susa> bazhang: i tried a few themes and they are only showing me the window changing. Could you recomend a theme to test please?
[11:23] <RonLut> How do I run computertemp?
[11:23] <bazhang> susa oxygenrefit
[11:23] <Kaell> so do you happen to know any sript that will call for me when it gets a new IP address?
[11:23] <MegaMan_EXE> Does anyone know where to find a complied driver for Agere that works in Hardy
[11:24] <alexei> orphean: no hot key combination for that? only this permanent solution?
[11:24] <orphean> alexei: sadly yes
[11:24] <orphean> alexei: if you only want it once you can edit the grub information temporarily form the grub menu at startup
[11:25] <orphean> alexei: or supply it a new kernel line (might be easier to edit it, it doesn't save)
[11:25] <orphean> alexei: no simple hotkey for it :/
[11:25] <Slart> RonLut: install it, then right click on a panel, select add and find the computertemp applet
[11:25] <TB`> What ver is after 8.10
[11:25] <bazhang> TB`, take chat elsewhere
[11:25] <TB`> It's a serious question sir
[11:26] <orphean> TB`: 9.04
[11:26] <bazhang> TB`, its offtopic here
[11:26] <TB`> Why do they miss out v8.05 - v.8.09 ?
[11:26] <TB`> Ok sorry I'll shut my trap, sheesh
[11:26] <orphean> TB`: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146
[11:26] <TB`> Can't even talk about Ubuntu in an Ubuntu channel
[11:26] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic TB`
[11:26] <DrLame> TB`: #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:26] <TB`> Thanks bots
[11:27] <DrLame> ...
[11:27] <DrLame> You're welcome
[11:27] <microwaver> anyone using xubuntu?
[11:27] <Slart> microwaver: on my server, yes
[11:27] <RonLut> Slart: I found it but nothing happens when I click on it on the pannel.... It's like just an icon
[11:28] <zerok> very stupid question, but shouldn't there be an entry in the fstab for /boot in 8.04?
[11:28] <microwaver> Slart, recently moved to xubuntu (perfomance increase !!!) but I can't seem to find the System menu.
[11:28] <orphean> microwaver: you might have better luck in #xubuntu if you have a problem
[11:28] <Slart> RonLut: you can right click on it and change preferences and such.. but sure.. it's an icon.. a small thermometr
[11:28] <ikonia> zerok: do you have a seperate /boot partition /
[11:28] <Slart> RonLut: you can make it show the temperature as text too if you want..
[11:28] <kiosk> kampretijo
[11:28] <zerok> ikonia, i honestly don't know since the original installation was done by slicehost, but /boot is empty, so i presume that yes
[11:28] <RonLut> Slart: Isn't it graphic tool?
[11:29] <ikonia> zerok: that would make sense,
[11:29] <Slart> RonLut: yes.. it's a small applet.. designed to sit on the panel and show you the temperature of various things
[11:29] <zerok> ikonia, so it's nothing ubuntu itself does to hide the partition i guess, right?
[11:29] <Slart> microwaver: hmm.. hang on.. let me check
[11:29] <ikonia> zerok: in that case I'd add a /boot entry in fstab, but as you don't need to edit anything in there, unless you do kernel updates
[11:29] <pavan> how to install c complier for ubuntu 8.04
[11:29] <RonLut> Slart: where does it shows the temp.?
[11:29] <RonLut> oh
[11:29] <orphean> pavan: sudo apt-get build-essential
[11:30] <ikonia> pavan: install the gcc package or the "build-essential" package
[11:30] <orphean> pavan: er sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:30] <Slart> RonLut: right click on it.. select preferences.. set it to show text and icon
[11:30] <pavan> ok thanks everyone
[11:30] <zerok> ikonia, the problem is, that i just upgraded from 7.10 but the sytem still boots with the old kernel, so i wanted to edit the grub config
[11:30] <zerok> will ask in #slicehost.
[11:30] <zerok> ikonia, thanks :)
[11:30] <Kaell> is there no standard place to place scripts you want to run when dhclient gets a new IP?
[11:30] <microwaver> orphean, i cant make that symbol before the xubuntu you typed there, need to adjust the keyboard layout
[11:30] <ikonia> zerok: then you'll need to mount /boot - however if /boot wasn't mounted when you did the upgrade, I'd be dubious about to if the upgrade worked
[11:30] <RonLut> Slart: But it shows me only 2 things: hwmon0 (1) hwmon0 (3)
[11:31] <zerok> ikonia, jupp, that's the weird part )
[11:31] <zerok> ;)
[11:31] <RonLut> Slart: Is there any way of viewing the graphic card temperature in it?
[11:31] <nikos> hi
[11:31] <nikos> kapoios apo ellada?
[11:31] <Slart> microwaver: ah.. it's embedded in the main menu.. Applications, system
[11:31] <amikrop> In System->Preferences->Windows, I have chosen "Maximize" as the choice of "Titlebar action", but windows roll up, instead of maximizing when I double click on their title bar.
[11:31] <alecs> anyone know how to fix my problem ?
[11:31] <orphean> microwaver: interesting. well do <whatever character you typed to join ubuntu>xubuntu instead
[11:31] <bazhang> !gr | nikos
[11:31] <nikos> greek?
[11:31] <microwaver> Slart, thanks for opening my eyes :P
[11:31] <MrKennie> Kaell, /etc/network/if-up.d/
[11:31] <amikrop> nikos: egw
[11:31] <Slart> microwaver: hehe, you're welcome
[11:32] <microwaver> orphean, it's the channel I get connecting to when opening xchat :D
[11:32] <doug_> I'm connected to the Internet through an ethernet card set on dhcp, yet Network Manager says no network connection, why?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> hey y'alls
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> doug_: is network manager set to watch the interface?
[11:33] <bazhang> doug_, you used terminal to connect?
[11:33] <magnetron> microwaver: /join #xubuntu
[11:34] <doug_> ActionParsnip, bazhang: I'm connected right now to this irc server, I don't know if NM is watching the interface
[11:34] <microwaver> magnetron, bedankt !
[11:34] <neeto> can someone direct me to a tutorial about adding devices to /dev/mtab?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> doug_: if its connected ok and you are on the same comuter now then its most likely watching the wrong interface
[11:35] <Slart> !fstab | neeto
[11:35] <neeto> thank you sir
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> doug_: right click it - see what you find there
[11:35] <Slart> neeto: afaik mtab is just a simple output of the current status.. fstab is where the configuration is done
[11:35] <doug_> ActionParsnip: left-click gives me No network devices have been found, Manual configuration
[11:36] <doug_> ActionParsnip: right click gives me Enable networking, Connection information (disabled), Edit wireless networks and About
[11:37] <ne2k__> I just installed "arping" package and it removed network-manager and network-manager-gnome. surely this is broken?
[11:37] <ne2k__> I then couldn't reinstall network-manager-gnome because my connection was offline because network-manager wasn't running, so I couldn't download the package (don't know why it wasn't in the cache). I had to use ifconfig manually to fix it. this is VERY BAD for a distribution that is meant to be user-friendly
[11:37] <orphean> ne2k__: submit a bug report on that one
 Kaell, /etc/network/if-up.d/  <--- that was my first guess... but when exactly is that run?
[11:37] <neeto> Slart: I see, well riddle me this: Depending on what devices I have plugged in at one time, sometimes a certain drive isn't always in, say /dev/sdc1. In this case, is there a way to identify the drive by a unique hardware address?
[11:38] <MrKennie> Kaell, I believe when the interface is up and assigned an ip address
[11:38] <Slart> neeto: correct.. that's why you can identify a drive by UUID instead of device file.. type !uuid for more info, sudo blkid to get a list of uuids

[11:39] <veliuX> hello does anyone know of a website with a list of apt mirrors?
[11:40] <veliuX> i tried googling it without results
[11:40] <khajavi> I don't have 1024*768 resolution. what should I do? (in restricted drivers my nvidia-legacy is in red color)
[11:40] <kaushal> hi
[11:40] <veliuX> khajavi in command line type xorgconfig
[11:41] <kaushal> How can i install nagios on ubuntu
[11:41] <bazhang> veliuX, why not go into software sources and look there
[11:41] <noam_> quick question - the java plugin doesn't work in firefox, is that a known problem or did i do something wrong?
[11:41] <neeto> noam_: you did something wrong
[11:41] <soulhacker> noam_:u have openjdk or sun?
[11:41] <veliuX> bazhang where, i want to edit the source.lst because i do not have a gui set up yet
[11:41] <MrKennie> Kaell, personally I would use if-up.d but I don't think it makes any difference.
[11:41] <noam_> java-6-sun
[11:41] <bazhang> veliuX, you want to pastebin it?
[11:42] <Kaell> ok, thanks :)
[11:42] <soulhacker> noam_:what error does it give?
[11:42] <khajavi> veliuX: it doesnt worked
[11:42] <noam_> and firefox (3) reports it has "gcj web browser plugin (using IcedTea) 1.0
[11:42] <veliuX> im not on linux right now, im at work, im hand writing mirrors down
[11:42] <neeto> is there a way to mount devices based on a hardware ID, rather than the order they show up in /dev?
[11:42] <Mercuree> I have just installed kubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu hardy installation. Im guessing that i will be able to select kde as my desktop next time I log in. is this correct?
[11:42] <orphean> Mercuree: yep
[11:42] <veliuX> bazhang can i use debian mirrors?
[11:42] <bazhang> veliuX, quick work when you are on the computer
[11:42] <neeto> veliuX: Why do you need so many repos?
[11:42] <Slart> !uuid | neeto
[11:42] <bazhang> veliuX, if you plan on using debian sure
[11:42] <veliuX> im trying to find a close one in the US to me
[11:43] <soulhacker> noam_:yes gcj is the problem
[11:43] <yoyoned> Mercuree: yes
[11:43] <Mercuree> also, I am currently logged into my system using remote desktop, which only allows me to connect to an already logged in session. is there a way I can set this for the gdm login screen as I will need to logout to start kde
[11:43] <noam_> soulhacker: so... how do i fix it? by installing a sun-java plugin?
[11:43] <soulhacker> noam_:yyes
[11:44] <veliuX> khajavi nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf look in there and change ur resolution
[11:44] <soulhacker> need help guys i want to mount a ftp server using gvfs so i saved a book mark for it but whenever i try to open a hidden folder on ftp it doesnt open i know dat folder is dere and hidden but it doesnt open in gvfs while in gftp it opens
[11:44] <veliuX> bazhang so is there a website that lists ubuntu's apt mirrors?
[11:44] <alexei> so, now I have bare metal + fresh kubuntu, how do I install e.g. firefox (v2)?
[11:44] <khajavi> veliuX: in this file I dont have any resolution setting
[11:44] <noam_> soulhacker: could you describe exactly how to do so? install the "icedtea-java7-plugin"?
[11:45] <orphean> Mercuree: System->Preferences->Login Window then in the first tab change your default session to KDE
[11:45] <Kartagis> alexei: sudo apt-get install firefox?
[11:45] <Vixus> ubuntu's really getting annoying with not being able to play audio from different apps at the same time..  Has this been fixed yet?
[11:45] <bazhang> veliuX, if you are on the computer it is the work of a moment to get those
[11:45] <veliuX> khajavi are you using gnome right now
[11:45] <Mercuree> thanks orphean but i would still have to logout to then login to kde? and if i can access the login screen remotely then i cant login.
[11:46] <soulhacker> noam_:goto applications>add/remove
[11:46] <veliuX> im on a windows box right now, i tried googling and found some but not any in the US
[11:46] <Mercuree> or coul i ssh in login startx then access it remotely?
[11:46] <veliuX> so i dont think i found the right site
[11:46] <khajavi> veliuX: my nvdia is very old. and now in restricted driver the nvdia-legacy is red
[11:46] <Vinconzo> can i use my usb bluetooth stick on PC_1 and my bluetooth stick on PC_2 to get PC_1 connected to the internet through PC_2?
[11:46] <alexei> Kartagis: offers firefox-3.0, is there the older version?
[11:46] <soulhacker> noam_:search sun u will find sun browser plugin in results install it
[11:46] <orphean> Mercuree: well its a session thing, you're already in a session, see the problem?
[11:46] <ikonia> khajavi: look at "nvidia-glx-legacy"
[11:46] <noam_> soulhacker: hah, awesome, i removed the icedtea package and now it works :)
[11:46] <Mercuree> yeah
[11:46] <Vinconzo> probably a noob question
[11:46] <Mercuree> meh.
[11:46] <soulhacker> noam_:good for u
[11:47] <noam_> thank you
[11:47] <Mercuree> thats what im trying to get around
[11:47] <orphean> Mercuree: you could try starting up another x server
[11:47] <orphean> Mercuree: and then running whatever kde's session script is
[11:47] <Mercuree> hmm ill check it out. its not urgent :p
[11:48] <Mercuree> I just wanna play with kde now as i have nothing to do at work :D
[11:48] <orphean> Mercuree: virtualize it ;)
[11:48] <ne2k__> orphean: I just did. Bug #243475
[11:48] <orphean> ne2k__: thank you!
[11:49] <Mercuree> orphean, you mean with vmware or something? that wouldnt be productive as then it would be a whole different 'machine' no?
[11:50] <ne2k__> orphean: I'm not sure if it's really a bug. but I'll let the maintainers decide
[11:50] <veliuX> dammit ubuntu's website only shows how to add extra repositorys using synaptic gui, I am not using a gui and plan on editing the sources.list, where can i find the mirros?
[11:50] <veliuX> mirrors*
[11:50] <magnetron> !mirrors | veliuX
[11:50] <amikrop> Hello. In System->Preferences->Windows, I have chosen "Maximize" as the choice of "Titlebar action", but windows roll up, instead of maximizing when I double click on their title bar. I use Compiz Fusion and Emerald.
[11:51] <veliuX> ok cool thank you ubottu
[11:51] <pavan> can anyone tell me how to get jsdk for ubuntu?
[11:51] <magnetron> !thanks | veliuX
[11:51] <amikrop> !maximize
[11:52] <orphean> amikrop: if you're using compiz you need to set it in the compizconfig-settings-manager. i'm 90% sure that the other preference only applies to metacity (this is most likely incorrect behavior, but it appears that's how it is for the moment)
[11:53] <amikrop> orphean: Will it be fixed?
[11:53] <amikrop> (the behaviour)
[11:53] <orphean> amikrop: Only if a bug has been submitted for it and the maintainers agree.
[11:53] <ne2k__> pavan: isn't sun-java6-jdk what you want?
[11:54] <amikrop> orphean: OK, I will file a bug.
[11:54] <ne2k__> !sun-java6-jdk
[11:54] <RoRe_> hi
[11:54] <XB23> how do i see how much of a quota is left and how much in total a user has?
[11:54] <Nimblefinger> hmm, ok I'm pretty new to ubuntu, and I'm wanting a media player that will play mp3s and to get twinview setup
[11:54] <backslash7> Hey
[11:54] <backslash7> I need to find a file
[11:54] <backslash7> I know a part of it's name
[11:55] <backslash7> How do I do that?
[11:55] <FloodBot1> backslash7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:55] <ne2k__> XB23: man quota
[11:55] <ne2k__> backslash7: use find
[11:55] <Nimblefinger> but I am struggling to get make to work, well it fails when running ./configure
[11:56] <Mercuree> yes you can set the action in compiz-settings
[11:56] <orphean> backslash7: Places->Search for Files
[11:56] <ne2k__> backslash7: find -iname *part*
[11:56] <kaushal> whats the command to install mysql on ubuntu
[11:56] <nikos> greek?
[11:56] <ne2k__> kaushal: apt-get install mysql-server
[11:57] <nikos> ellada?
[11:57] <kaushal> ne2k__, thanks
[11:58] <kaushal> I am looking out for mysql 5.0.54
[11:59] <backslash7> ne2k__: "find -iname .ovpn" => nothing but I know it's there.
[11:59] <backslash7> s/there/somewhere
[11:59] <veliuX> I have one last question, can i recompile ubuntus kernel similar to the way i would recompile debian's kernel?
[11:59] <nikos> apo ellada?
[11:59] <jrib> !kernel > veliuX (read the private message from ubottu)
[11:59] <DJones> !gr | nikos
[12:00] <Kartagis> alexei: sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[12:00] <bazhang> veliuX, not much point in doing so; you lose support here and gain very little
[12:00] <veliuX> i dont care about support
[12:00] <bazhang> nikos apo is not here now
[12:00] <veliuX> actually i would gain quite a bit of speed
[12:01] <veliuX> every linux distro i have used gains considerable speed after the kernel is recompiled
[12:01] <orphean> veliuX: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu    that is useful.  all hope abandon ye who enter here stuff though
[12:01] <nikos> re paidia kaneis apo ellada na me vohtheisei se ena provlima sta ubuntu????
[12:01] <jrib> orphean: that site is terrible after reading the first page...
[12:02] <bazhang> nikos you need to speak english here
[12:02] <bazhang> nikos /join #ubuntu-gr
[12:02] <backslash7> the GUI thing did it
[12:02] <backslash7> thanks
[12:02] <veliuX> good just like debian's recompile
[12:02] <veliuX> ok thats all thanks
[12:02] <backslash7> but find "not found" lol
[12:02] <orphean> jrib: well nm me then. been a while since i've had to do so on ubuntu
[12:03] <jrib> orphean: if there's a guide on the wiki, it's usually better
[12:03] <jrib> !kernel > orphean (read the private message from ubottu)
[12:05] <michele> c
[12:05] <Nimblefinger> ok so I have an nVidia card in this laptop, running Ubuntu 8.04
[12:05] <Nimblefinger> I'm trying to get it to display on two separate screens, using twinview
[12:06] <Nimblefinger> but when i type gksudo nvidia-settings nothing comes up
[12:06] <Nimblefinger> and when i try the old way of editing the xorg.conf settings, the Devices section looks rather dissimilar
[12:07] <Nimblefinger> It doesnt have identifier or busID under the section
[12:08] <bartonello> hi. Does anybody know where I can set umask globally in Ubuntu?
[12:08] <peterpan098> anyone know how to fix resolution?
[12:08] <peterpan098> i can see partial of my desktop
[12:08] <zone51> server irc.epiknet.org
[12:08] <peterpan098> top left
[12:09] <ne2k__> bartonello: /etc/profile?
[12:09] <ne2k__> bartonello: should already be in there; change it to what you want
[12:10] <peterpan098> i can only see partial of my desktop?
[12:10] <_Roman> I have a .cdb file (it is a Microsoft Pocket Access database file from Windows CE), does anyone know of a way to open this in ubuntu?
[12:10] <peterpan098> anyone know how to fix?
[12:10] <bartonello> ne2k__, thanks)
[12:11] <Nimblefinger> darn wireless failed me, could anyone help me with getting twinview working?
[12:11] <RonLut> Why when I'm uploading a file in photobucket my firefox does not responds until upload is completed?
[12:11] <peterpan098> anyone here uses ubuntu ultimate?
[12:13] <interactive> does someone have some experience with evtouch drivers?
[12:14] <sergio__> !list
[12:15] <nooga> hm
[12:16] <overlord_> #ipodlinux
[12:16] <nooga> ubottu does not know anything abt evtouch
[12:16] <g0tcha> hey guys, is ot normal to se "auto lo" instead of "auto eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[12:17] <g0tcha> it*
[12:17] <RonLut> nobody can help me?
[12:17] <nxxs> msg nickserv register
[12:17] <bazhang> nxxs, do that in the server window
[12:17] <berent> is there any way to just goto suspend mode and let the download happen. i see the fans running a waste when i want to just download
[12:18] <Corkster> my ipod classic works great with amarok and rythmbox
[12:18] <nooga> rly?
[12:20] <g0tcha> anyone about setting a static ip
[12:20] <g0tcha> /etc/network/interfaces shows lo and not eth0
[12:20] <g0tcha> ../etc/network/interfaces shows lo and not eth0
[12:20] <palmje> does anyone know how to get usb audio to work?  I have a headset that uses usb.
[12:21] <jatt> palmje: in hardy it should detect your card automatically and ask you if you want to set the usb card as default
[12:21] <gandalf88> ciao a tutti
[12:21] <Pici> !it | gandalf88
[12:22] <gandalf88> excuse me
[12:22] <jatt> palmje: you can also check
[12:22] <jatt> cat /proc/asound/cards
[12:22] <jatt> to see if your USB card is there.
[12:22] <palmje> its not a usb sound card - the headset uses a usb connection for the auido (in and out)
[12:23] <micoh> i think he means the sound card is an ordinary type and that he wants to set the output to usb port
[12:24] <eAm>  hi
[12:24] <eAm> is ubuntu safe?
[12:24] <palmje> micoh: thats about it
[12:25] <joni_> .
[12:25] <sipior> eAm: is this a "Marathon Man" reference?
[12:25] <palmje> eAm: what do you mean by safe?
[12:25] <ubun_t> safe = secure
[12:27] <eAm> is it?
[12:27] <sipior> eAm: a default install,  with a conscientious administrator, is reasonably secure.
[12:27] <`Immortal`> hi guys
[12:27] <sipior> eAm: but then, that goes for pretty much any operating system
[12:27] <palmje> eAm: its certainly more secure than windows
[12:27] <jordan_cbr> hi
[12:28] <tomolds> eAm: You really need to form a better question, to get a better answer :-)
[12:28] <`Immortal`> How do i disable services in Ubuntu 8.04?
[12:28] <jordan_cbr> anyone know where i can get information about creating configuration Packages?
[12:28] <jordan_cbr> *can i
[12:28] <`Immortal`> I used the Services option in Admin.
[12:28] <eAm> shure
[12:28] <`Immortal`> but very few services are listed there
[12:28] <Pici> !newpackage | jordan_cbr
[12:29] <g0tcha> guys, is it normal for /etc/network/interfaces to sho only lo and not eth0 ?
[12:29] <JonathanEllis> Is there a linux equivalent of the "Program Files" directory in Windows? I need to find where an executable is located so I can associate a particular file type with it. In windows I would write click on the program menu item to look at its properties. Is there some similar way to find the location of an application?
[12:29] <`Immortal`> isn't there a tool like, services.msc in XP where all services can be enabled/disbabled?
[12:29] <mysterycool> No.
[12:29] <mysterycool> jk :p
[12:30] <soundray> `Immortal`: System-Administration-Services
[12:30] <tomolds> JonathanEllis: can use whereis I believe.
[12:30] <justin__> Does anyone know of an ISO burner for Ubuntu?
[12:30] <`Immortal`> soundray:  i tried that
[12:30] <soundray> `Immortal`: for more detail, install bum
[12:30] <`Immortal`> very few services show up there
[12:30] <`Immortal`> !bum
[12:30] <palmje> lJonathanEllis: inks to programs are generally in places like /bin, /usr/bin etc.
[12:31] <palmje> i use k3b to burn iso files
[12:31] <`Immortal`> Thanks soundray , will try bum
[12:31] <`Immortal`> also i seem to have trouble with Beagle
[12:31] <justin__> palmje: Thanks.
[12:32] <Hexxeh> Hello
[12:32] <Hexxeh> I've got a fresh copy of Ubuntu 7.04 installed, and I'm trying to setup a squid server on it
[12:32] <Hexxeh> But the package doesn't appear to be in the repos
[12:32] <`Immortal`> seems there's some trouble with indexing
[12:32] <Hexxeh> Do I need to add an extra repo or something?
[12:32] <nooga> how to use xserver-xorg-evtouch
[12:32] <nooga> ?
[12:33] <`Immortal`> this issue cropped up once there was a power-outage
[12:33] <soundray> When I boot Ubuntu, it goes to the sound volume that I last set it to. Can I fix it instead at, say, 50% on every boot?
[12:33] <Pici> !info squid feisty
[12:33] <nooga> soundray: oh, that would be nice
[12:34] <Hexxeh> sudo apt-get install squid squid-common
[12:34] <Pici> Hexxeh: squid should be in the main repo
[12:34] <Hexxeh> is what I ran, but it said it can't find the squid package
[12:34] <`Immortal`> anybody for help with Beagle?
[12:34] <soundray> !info squid feisty
[12:35] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: if something is borked drop the index and start over
[12:35] <soundray> !info squid gutsy
[12:35] <Hexxeh> "Couldn't find package squid"
[12:35] <`Immortal`> how do i go about that mgolisch?
[12:35] <kai> Hi everyone
[12:35] <`Immortal`> hi kai
[12:35] <Hexxeh> I can't see why it isn't finding the package
[12:35] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: what exactly is t he problem? i had beagled freak out sometimes when it indexed my music mostlikely it didnt like some of my wma files
[12:35] <`Immortal`> mgolisch:  i had a power-outage
[12:36] <palmje> anyone know how to get a usb headset working?
[12:36] <soundray> Hexxeh: for gutsy, it's in main. Perhaps you just have to 'sudo apt-get update'
[12:36] <Nimblefinger> i get this error whenever i try to run the ./configure in any package : configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.  why is this?
[12:36] <philipsmith> ubottu etiquette
[12:36] <kai> I am registering a PGP key, but know i need to Confirm the OpenPGP key, how do i do that?
[12:36] <`Immortal`> ever since it ain't showing any files when i search
[12:36] <Hexxeh> ahhh, fair point soundray, should have thought of that
[12:36] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, is gcc correctely installed and in your path?
[12:36] <soundray> palmje: plug it in and make it the default sound device in System-Preferences-Sound
[12:36] <bazhang> kai, you need gpg
[12:36] <kai> How do you mean?
[12:36] <bazhang> !info gpg
[12:36] <kai> ok
[12:37] <Pici> !gpg
[12:37] <Jester45> Nimblefinger: install build-essentials and youll be good
[12:37] <bazhang> !find gpg
[12:37] <kai> Ok
[12:37] <Nimblefinger> I don't know WalloO, I assumed that it would be out of the box i guess, foolishly
[12:37] <Nimblefinger> ok thanks Jester, I'll give that a go
[12:37] <Jester45> Nimblefinger: its build-essential
[12:37] <`Immortal`> mgolisch: ?
[12:38] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, no, it isn't since it's a development tool, and not everybody want to compile
[12:38] <WalloO> !build-essential
[12:38] <Nimblefinger> thanks Jester, and that makes sense WalloO
[12:38] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: theres some config utility beagle-settings or so
[12:38] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[12:38] <philipsmith> I can't get gnome-rdp to allow one of my ubuntu machines to see the desktop of another. I've got the address correct and am using VNC.... terminal server client and remote desktop viewer work ok... how do I get gnome-rdp to work?
[12:38] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, try that sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:38] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: if it doesnt work no more maybe just delete the index file and restart beagled
[12:39] <Nimblefinger> its already running WalloO ;) but thanks :)
[12:39] <LordDicranius> !test
[12:39] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, maybe it will install all necessary dev tools if I remeber correctely
[12:39] <Jester45> philipsmith: is the rdp server on your lan?
[12:39] <`Immortal`> where is the index file stored mgolisch?
[12:39] <Nimblefinger> it looks fairly comprehensive
[12:39] <LordDicranius> !gnupg
[12:39] <LordDicranius> !dvd
[12:39] <Pici> LordDicranius: Please message the bot if you're just looking for stuff for yourself.
[12:39] <philipsmith> Jester45: rdp server? I don't know about this. Gnome-rdp is installed on the machine I want to use.
[12:39] <ozkelligirl> ubottu how are you?
[12:40] <Nimblefinger> I'll give it a go now, just managed to get it working with two monitors, but was just a case of looking up some stuff as i have an nVidia card
[12:40] <bazhang> ozkelligirl, /msg ubottu for fun if you wish
[12:40] <Jester45> philipsmith: the server is the screen you want to view and the viewer is the local screen your looking at
[12:40] <prageeth> how to compile c++ in ubuntu
[12:40] <`Immortal`> mgolisch:  am i better of with Catfish?
[12:40] <ozkelligirl> ok but i need help first
