[18:53] <bluefoxx> so how do i force the RAM to reload or w/e cause its mostly used by some invisible process i cant seem to see. i tried to disable compiz but i still lag, and my rig isnt that bad
[18:53] <SANTAbios> so how do i create shortcut to a webpage llike my webmail on my gnome desktop
[18:53] <LjL> bluefoxx: err, ok, but do you know what "cached" means in that context and if/why/how you need more? :)
[18:53] <mjd-> yea
[18:54] <nephex> The ubuntu installation that is on the server now is bugged, and I was wondering if there was any chance of making a "fresh" install over the internet, since the server is 15kilometers away from me.
[18:54] <kaboombob> Redhammer_the_A_ i dont think i can recieve private messages

[18:54] <Redhammer_the_A_> kaboombob what irc are you using
[18:54] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: one more thing, just to be sure about where we are: type   mount  , and paste that
[18:54] <th0r> nephex there is a chance maybe to fix it. You normally do not reinstall linux...you fix it
[18:54] <Redhammer_the_A_> what version of ubuntu are you using
[18:54] <bluefoxx> LjL: for me i equate cached memory to redieing an action, as if i were playing DND >.>
[18:54] <Redhammer_the_A_> have you tried plugging the player in and using amarok to connect to it ?
[18:54] <LjL> bluefoxx: sorry but you aren't making much sense... your computer is being slow and you're blaming that on the RAM (and possibly the fact that some of it is used as cache), because...?
[18:54] <pike_> bluefoxx: the usage reported by 'free' and such doesnt really mean that an app needs that ram its kinda precaching it so often it isnt what is slowing your system down
[18:55] <nephex> 7.10 i think
[18:55] <LjL> bluefoxx: i don't know what you're talking about. in that context, "cached" memory means memory used as a file cache.
[18:55] <stroyan> SANTAbios:  Right click on the desktop and select "Create Launcher".  Change the type to "link" and enter the URL.

[18:55] <jgalvin> aarrggh, ati drivers eat children :(
[18:55] <nickrud> jgalvin: only bad children
[18:55] <jgalvin> then why won't they work for me? :D
[18:55] <bluefoxx> bascally i have some process in 'zombie' state taking up 1.2 GB of my RAM, and i am lagging on the desktop, and i dont wish to reboot as it will destroy my uptime
[18:55] <nickrud> jgalvin: you been bad this year already !?
[18:56] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51237/
[18:56] <jgalvin> nickrud: I'm just trying to get dual monitors set up :( I didn't know it was that bad :\
[18:56] <pike_> bluefoxx: what does top say?
[18:56] <Wanderer_> Anyone know if there's a usb bootable image for ubuntu for a thumbdrive?
[18:56] <nickrud> jgalvin: oh, that task eats everyone ;)
[18:56] <bullgard4> [GNOME, Ubuntu 7.10] Pressing System > Quit > Suspend will call what program?
[18:56] <LjL> bluefoxx: and "kill -s 9 <process-number>" won't work, i assume?
[18:56] <bluefoxx> i know its not my CPU overheating as i have good cooling for it and just replaced the heatsink compound
[18:57] <stroyan> jgalvin:  I thought that was kittens-  http://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2006/ols2006v1-pages-19-26.pdf
[18:57] <nephex> So there are no ways of fixing it then?
[18:57] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: ok, I got all the info I need. I'm going to edit a couple of things you gave me, then I'll walk you though making the changes
[18:57] <jgalvin> stroyan: hahah
[18:57] <steveire> Seems there's nothing special about the vista filesystem. Should work as well as it did for XP.
[18:57] <bluefoxx> LjL: no, it tells me 'process not there' or something like that

[18:58] <LjL> bluefoxx: *what* exactly?
[18:58] <jgalvin> maybe I'll go see if the IT guys will trade me a nvidia card for this ati card >_>
[18:58] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: ok
[18:58] <Volkodav> xfce xkb layout does not work for some reason - is there a way to turn off gnome layout switcher and go with xorg option instead?
[18:58] <Redhammer_the_A_> or try the following command:

[18:59] <SANTAbios> all i have is 6.1
[18:59] <Jack_Sparrow> grekkos: Was it working before now?
[18:59] <pike_> grekkos: try alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo adduser    after that is done sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and see if new user can login. if they can its just a profile issue and rm'ing some .config files should fix
[18:59] <SANTAbios> anyone?
[19:00] <kaboombob> Redhammer_the_A_ i didnt see the command
[19:00] <Jack_Sparrow> SANTAbios: If you mean Dapper.. yes. it works just fine
[19:00] <grekkos> Jack_Sparrow: yeah i changed some of the compiz settings through the appearance->effects dialog and now nothing loads up
[19:00] <bcardarella> Did Ubuntu rename the apache module: proxy-html to proxy-http ?
[19:00] <bluefoxx> LjL: 'sh_'
[19:00] <grekkos> pike_: so try loggin in as root, for example?
[19:01] <pike_> grekkos: well if you have that setup. i dont typically run x as root
[19:01] <pike_> xsession i mean
[19:01] <Jack_Sparrow> grekkos: If you can get to cli   reset your compiz settings to default compiz --replace cpp &
[19:01] <bluefoxx> it wont die <.<
[19:01] <Volkodav> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51240/  I have this in xorg and it used to work
[19:01] <Volkodav> not anymore for some reason looks like gnome took over
[19:02] <LjL> flush: eh? the "kill -s 9 processnumber" command, what does it say? i don't think it says sh_...
[19:02] <grekkos> Oh wait I think i fixed it... I removed compiz completely and rebooted and that worked for some reason
[19:03] <bluefoxx> ive tried the 'kill' and 'killall' stuff
[19:03] <SANTAbios> how do i restart from the console?
[19:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Volkodav: Is that all of it or just the keyboard section for us and ur
[19:03] <Jack_Sparrow> ru
[19:03] <peppo> I have an internet-less system, which was installed on another monitor. the vga mode during bootup (framebuffer I guess) doesn't work for the monitor it's currently used, but I can't figure out how to change it. where is this controlled?  One is a new menu.lst for grub on the original partition, so it will boot your new partition. The second is the new /etc/fstab for the new partition
[19:05] <SANTAbios> ok when i restart ununut i have a blinking cursor at the top right of the screen for like 10 seconds before it loads, any ideas?
[19:05] <grekkos> bluefoxx: just metacity without the replace worked fine haha-- how can I add it back into my startup?
[19:05] <bluefoxx> that fixed it for me when i upgraded and lost windo borders
[19:05] <grekkos> bluefoxx: just add it to the startup tab in sessions?
[19:05] <kaboombob> i have a question about my panasonic media player it says i cant mount it it works in windows tho
[19:05] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: make a backup of /boot/grub/menu.lst on the original partition, then replace it with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51242/
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Volkodav: I need to ask , since we have seen a lot of odd problems recently.. and many of the people having problems had used automatix.. a bad idea by the way
[19:06] <bluefoxx> grekkos: i think so, but should still work without doing that[it has for me]
[19:06] <grekkos> bluefoxx: oh maybe when i run metacity it will automatically set the configuration for me?
[19:06] <Volkodav> I always use xkb editing xorg
[19:06] <th0r> SANTAbios what is ununut?
[19:06] <blackjax> is ubuntu or centos used more often for server lamp installations
[19:06] <Volkodav> and it worked perfect - not in ubuntu for some reason
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> kaboombob: When you plugged it into windows did it just work, or did it need a driver or need to connect to the internet to get a driver?
[19:07] <bullgard4> [GNOME, Ubuntu 7.10] Pressing System > Quit > Suspend will call what program?
[19:07] <bluefoxx> grekkos: i think so
[19:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Volkodav: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   should let you fix it.
[19:08] <domas> um, I was just today introduced to PPAs
[19:08] <domas> that stuff rocks

[19:08] <bluefoxx> anyone know if theres a tutorial on enabling hibernation and suspend modes to work properly? hibernate just shuts everything off and leaves the computer running until i hit the reset button
[19:08] <grekkos> bluefoxx: it didn't work... and when i used metacity & in a terminal and closed it metacity closed also...
[19:09] <opus> anyone know why alt+shift doesn't work? i have found out that pressing right alt + left alt does change the language, is this configurable somewhere?
[19:09] <cyanics> question: How can i turn off package-update-checking for a specific package (custom ffmpeg, keeps getting overwritten.)
[19:09] <bluefoxx> grekkos: then add it to startup options, and search it on the forums, probally documentation on a fix there
[19:10] <th0r> opus keystrokes can be defined in the file Xmodmap in your home directory. There are some tutorials on the web about Xmodmap
[19:10] <nickrud> cyanics: install yours, then in synaptic, mark it as 'force version'
[19:10] <cyanics> thanks.

[19:18] <dstath> any ideas?
[19:18] <Scampi> no i was trying to install Pro-FTPD server via Webmin which hung and somehow lost package list

[19:19] <Scampi> i've got a script that is meant to rebuild package list but it fails. webmin not supported? its most useful esp as VNC is dreadful from Ubuntu for me
[19:20] <Dr_willis> SANTAbios,  check cups.org to see how well supported that printer is.. with my printers - i just plugged them in and thye were seen/deteted
[19:20] <VoksD> Is there some software I can use to retrieve data from a USB stick that wasn't cleanly unmounted?  I know a lot of data was written to it, but it was removed from it's slot before the unmount completed (some r/w was apparently still in process).
[19:21] <Dr_willis> VoksD,  you can try fscking the filesystem. - may be safer to dd the stick to a file, then try to fsck the file by mounting it.
[19:21] <VoksD> Thanks, I'll try that.
[19:21] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. how do you fsck a loopback'd filesystem in a file..
[19:21] <Dr_willis> Ive heard of it being done.. just not sure how. :)
[19:21] <unperson> How do I turn off the snap to edges feature (or whatever it's called) for the windows on my desktop?  I thought it used to be easy to find, but now I can't find it anywhere.

[19:23] <pike_> Dr_willis: after you losetup and its associated with a node then you can just fsck loop0 or whatever right? or maybe not ive never done it
[19:23] <Volkodav> it does not read the xorg settings for some reason
[19:23] <Scampi> just attempted an install of pro-ftpd from within webmin interface
[19:23] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: ok, that looks good.  now    sudo mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt  , you should just get back a new line, no output

[19:24] <Volkodav> where I can fix that line?
[19:24] <DRebellion> Scampi: you should have used ssh + apt-get to install proftpd
[19:24] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: as you said
[19:24] <Pici> !webmin | Scampi
[19:24] <ubotu> Scampi: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system - Consider "ebox" instead
[19:24] <nano_> can i ask a question
[19:24] <nickrud> Scampi: webmin assumes a lot about how a system is put together, not the way debian/ubuntu is. That's why it's not in the repos anymore
[19:24] <erUSUL> dstath: have you checked your logs?
[19:24] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: ok     cd /mnt/etc
[19:24] <Pici> !ask  | nano_
[19:25] <ubotu> nano_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:25] <dstath> i've tried many things. which logs in specific?
[19:25] <Scampi> right ok shall leave webmin alone then. shame cause it was easy to use. i'll take a look at ebox
[19:25] <DRebellion> dstath: try the command 'dmesg'

[19:26] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: i gives me this:  boikhutso@morobana:/mnt/etc$
[19:26] <DRebellion> crolle17: i think you may have to download extra packages for syntax etc
[19:26] <crolle17> DRebellion, which packages?
[19:26] <DRebellion> crolle17: no idea :P
[19:26] <DRebellion> crolle17: try 'apt-cache search vim'
[19:26] <dstath> drebellion: dmesg without any options?
[19:26] <DRebellion> dstath: yar

[19:34] <dallas> is that what you mean?
[19:34] <neverblue> DRebellion, yes, I seen your previous reply, but thats not what I want, I want to change my current share to allow a login prompt, not to create a new share, from the beginning (if possible)
[19:34] <DRebellion> dallas: what do you need to do with it?

[19:35] <cal-mac> hi folks.  i successfully isntalled ubuntu 7.10 on my hp dv6000 notebook today and i am having troubles with some of my devices.  i have found a walkthrough to get the wireless adaptor working at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?action=show, however i am stuck on step 6.  my wireless card is supposed to be recognized as wlan0, but it is currently listed as eth1, which is preventing ndis
[19:36] <neverblue> DRebellion, so I have to initialize a new share then, not just work with a currently set share ?

[19:37] <crolle17> Pici, even with package vim-full no syntaxhighlightning.
[19:37] <DRebellion> crolle17: try making a file called test.c and see if highlighting is turned on
[19:37] <mEck0> hi! is it safer to have a partitions UUID in fstab instead of e.g. /dev/sda1? or why is the UUID used by default ?
[19:37] <domas> jshriver_: root@ubuntu:~# dpkg -S /lib/libpthread-2.6.1.so

[19:38] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[19:38] <Jack_Sparrow> mEck0: uuid really helps with removeable devices or when you move drives around

[19:39] <yokobr> hey
[19:39] <xTheGoat121x> Afternoon everyone
[19:39] <yokobr> ive got a problem
[19:39] <zhegao> hi, does anyone know how to connect to the internet using ubuntu, i'm currently using a ethernet cable connection but its still not working
[19:39] <graft> UUIDs are annoying as hell for normal devices, though
[19:39] <crolle17> DRebellion, i did. and i wrote a simple for-loop to see if there would be syntax-highlightening. and no there i no syntaxhigh.
[19:39] <mEck0> Jack_Sparrow, aha, okey. Is it otherwise possible that a partition got another name (e.g. /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda1) if not using UUID?
[19:40] <Shadow147> yokobr how can we help
[19:40] <xTheGoat121x> Anyone here know anything about ACPI?  I get a couple of error messages when I run "dmesg | grep acpi"
[19:40] <Jack_Sparrow> graft: Thankfully, you only need to set them once, or when you modify a partition
[19:40] <idefix_> crolle17, DRebellion is gone I think
[19:40] <bullgard4> zhegao: Read the Forum with the catchword 'networking' first.
[19:40] <zhegao> where is that at?
[19:40] <marko-_-> is there a programm... like i'm setting a date and time and a window will popup at that time reminding me someting...?
[19:40] <crolle17> idefix_, mmh... maybe you can help me?
[19:40] <Jack_Sparrow> mEck0: YEs, there were a few of those problems as well...
[19:40] <yokobr> i have an asus m2n4-sli, with geforce 7600gs. I cant install ubuntu, because of acpi problems.
[19:41] <mEck0> Jack_Sparrow, ok, thx!
[19:41] <Jack_Sparrow> mEck0: There was also a problem when people mixed ide and sata drives
[19:41] <idefix_> crolle17, you have a problem with syntaxhighlightning
[19:41] <crolle17> idefix_, yes
[19:41] <yokobr> Ive tryed everything, like noapic nolapic acpi=off, acpi=noirq, irqpoll
[19:41] <graft> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but when i want to go back and see what the fstab settings for /dev/hda2 are, it's a pain in the ass
[19:41] <Shadow147> yokobr | !find acpi
[19:41] <yokobr> =/
[19:41] <idefix_> crolle17, that's like in the X-window? I don't know much about the subjec5t
[19:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !ohmy > graft
[19:42] <yokobr> i can even boot, but my screen gets weird
[19:42] <Jack_Sparrow> yokobr: You may need the alternate cd..
[19:42] <crolle17> idefix_, o.k.
[19:42] <danielito> hey ho!!! everytime i startup ubuntu, this nm-applet wants the key for my keyring
[19:42] <danielito> how do I avoid that?
[19:42] <yokobr> ive tryed the alternate.
[19:42] <Shadow147> !acpi
[19:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:42] <Seamus> Hey guys, I need to get fan speed control working on my thinkpad r60e
[19:42] <yokobr> on the alternate cd, it says that cant mout my cd
[19:42]  * nickrud drums his fingers
[19:42] <Shadow147> !find acpi
[19:43] <ubotu> Found: acpi, acpi-support, acpid, acpidump, acpitool (and 4 others)
[19:43] <Jack_Sparrow> yokobr: Alternate got you through the install but you could not get in after rebooting?
[19:43] <neverblue> DRebellion, did i lose you ?
[19:43] <garbleeee> hi all
[19:43] <garbleeee> http://www.ashlar-online.com/blog/music/Coffee-DenisLeary.mp3
[19:43] <Pici> garbleeee: Please dont, this is a support channel.
[19:43] <yokobr> nope, i cant even make it install. I says that it cannot mount my cd.
[19:43] <Jack_Sparrow> yokobr: Are you trying a regular install or some sort of vm or wubi etc?
[19:43] <yokobr> on alternate.
[19:43] <marko-_-> is there a programm... like i'm setting a date and time and a window will popup at that time reminding me someting...?
[19:43] <cal-mac> hey guys i'm having a problem with ubuntu and my wireless card.  currently there is a line in a file somewhere assigning the name wlan0 to a MAC identifier that i need to remove, but it's not where it's described to be '/etc/iftab'  can anyone tell me where i can find this file?
[19:44] <yokobr> i can install xubuntu, but not my ubuntu and ubuntu studio cds.
[19:44] <crolle17> idefix_, DRebellion doing :syntax on helps...
[19:45] <Jack_Sparrow> yokobr: But that did not answer my question
[19:45] <idefix_> crolle17? I used ultraedit in the past it had syntax highlighting
[19:45] <Flannel> yokobr: With the alternate CD, install the "server" (no GUI), then afterwards, install whatever GUI system you want
[19:45] <yokobr> im on a regular install
[19:45] <idefix_> it was a really cool program
[19:45] <nickrud> crolle17: emacs isn't brokein
[19:45] <Jack_Sparrow> yokobr: Where do you get the error can't mount?
[19:45] <Lukasz> I get an error cannot be mounted 17
[19:46] <idefix_> but in linux you have cool editors already, no use paying for software such as ultraedit
[19:46] <crolle17> nickrud, who talks about emacs?
[19:46] <idefix_> allthough ultraedit was very cool
[19:46] <Tramp> cal-mac: check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[19:46] <yokobr> Well, after it gets my keyboard type.
[19:46] <idefix_> GUYS? does ultraedit exist in ubuntu?
[19:46] <Lukasz> Anyone know how to fix error 17 cannot be mounted
[19:46] <ghost> hello there anyone know why web browser(firefox...) crash with flash animation?
[19:46] <crolle17> idefix_, when i code i use eclipse ;)
[19:46] <nickrud> crolle17: nm me, just a joke
[19:46] <Lukasz> !error 17
[19:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about error 17 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:46] <idefix_> crolle17, do you have a cool screenshot?
[19:46] <Lukasz> hmm
[19:46] <crolle17> idefix_, about what? me?
[19:47] <idefix_> crolle17 that'd be cool too, but I actually meant eclipse..
[19:47] <grekkos> idefix_: i prefer to use vim for my editing :) it's a very powerful editor if you know how to use it
[19:47] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[19:47] <crolle17> idefix_, i can make.
[19:47] <EvaLuaTe> is there any way to 'undo' the changes made by an installation ?
[19:47] <garbleeee> k bye
[19:47] <idefix_> vim, that's the masochistic editor, I remember some companies use it
[19:47] <Dr_willis> EvaLuaTe, undo what exactly?
[19:47] <crolle17> idefix_, why you're asking?

[19:48] <crolle17> idefix_, mmh. it's not masochistic, trust me.
[19:48] <yokobr> well, i can install if i use my xubuntu cd =)
[19:48] <idefix_> at my traineeship company my supervisor always used UltraEdit
[19:48] <yokobr> but i just wanted ubuntu studio.
[19:48] <Lukasz> I need help I get an error 17 cannot be mounted
[19:48] <EvaLuaTe> Dr_willis, i tried to install vhcs and it uninstalled some programs and installed some others instead and i would like to undo that, any idea please ?
[19:49] <crolle17> Pici, we're talking abut vim, eclipse or even emacs. that is linux- software.
[19:49] <idefix_> the emblems ubuntu choses from are they in all formats in /usr/share/icons/gnome/*/emblems ?
[19:49] <Dr_willis> EvaLuaTe,  you can always try to just reinstall the ones it removed.

[19:49] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[19:49] <DRebellion> idefix_: thats what i got from a quick locate
[19:49] <jgalvin> I have my two monitors working properly - login on one, blank on the other with proper color and resolution on the other, with mouse moving between them - with the ATI drivers, but when I go to log in, it hangs for a few seconds and returns to the login screen.  Anyone know why?
[19:49] <Pici> crolle17: That is not an Ubuntu support question.  #ubuntu is not for just random linux chatter, only support questions.  Feel free to discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic however.
[19:49] <EvaLuaTe> Dr_willis, is there any way i can view recent changes made to my system ?

[19:57] <danielito> what is the default root-password when I start the live/install-disc?
[19:57] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: still here, by the way
[19:57] <danielito> I need to mount the harddisk
[19:57] <fiXXXerMet> Why does the unixodbc package require x11-common?
[19:57] <Pici> danielito: There is none.
[19:57] <cal-mac> tramp: thank you, i found the file.  it lists my wireless card and is described as eth1.  i commented out the line and repeated the steps but the wireless device is still listed as eth1.  any suggestions?
[19:57] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: yeh im here
[19:57] <pike_> danielito: sudo -s or sudo -i for root term
[19:57] <danielito> Pici: so there is now way to get root?
[19:58] <Pici> danielito: see pike_
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[19:58] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:58] <Shadow147> well I am going to boot into windows I have to work on it
[19:58] <lastentry> thank you angain Pici. goodbye to all
[19:58] <danielito> pike_: nice one, thats so much!!!
[19:58]  * pike_ bows with a flourish
[19:58] <Scunizi> danielito: when installing from the live cd you don't need root access.  just click install and follow the prompts.
[19:59] <idefix_> hey DRebellion, I found a folder scalable ツ
[19:59] <mike90> thanks pici
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Scunizi: He may be trying to repir something not doing the install
[20:00] <Scunizi> Jack_Sparrow: ah.. true.  even so, I don't remember seeing a root password anywhere on the live cd.. does it do root by default?
[20:00] <Dr_willis> you can jump to the console on the live cd and set a root password if you want.
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Scunizi: Same as ubuntu  just use sudo or gksudo
[20:00] <Dr_willis> but by default i didnt hink it needed one.
[20:00] <danielito> okay my friends. so is there a solution for the latest version of ubuntu (gecko or something?) to avoid my system to everytime ask me for the keyring password when automatically connecting to the wireless network on startup? I am using automatic-login in gdm. the system is for my father who has no experience in entering hidden passwords :)
[20:00] <Scunizi> Jack_Sparrow: yes but will it ask for the sudo password? if so what is it?
[20:01] <shbla99> my system clock keeps drifiting
[20:01] <tinin> Am I the only one that crashes firefox when I close a flash video window?
[20:01] <Dr_willis> Scunizi,  hit enter?
[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[20:01] <Scunizi> Dr_willis: probably.. inquiring minds what to know!
[20:01] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: do sudo umount /dev/sdb6 , it may say it's already unmounted
[20:01] <shbla99> my system clock keeps drifiting, how can i tell ubuntu to use the hardware/bios clock?
[20:01] <xTheGoat121x> shbla99, how old is the computer?
[20:01] <Scunizi> *want
[20:01] <Dr_willis> Scunizi,  i dont think there is one.. for sudo wanting a password. you just hit enter.
[20:01] <shbla99> xTheGoat121x: brand new build.
[20:02] <shbla99> xTheGoat121x: 2 months
[20:02] <Dr_willis> Scunizi,  the default user has no password. so the sudo default password is also blank. (i think)
[20:02] <Scunizi> Dr_willis: that would make sense on the live cd.. kk. :)
[20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> bbl
[20:02] <Dr_willis> Scunizi,  :) yes it does
[20:02] <xTheGoat121x> shbla99, and you're sure that it's not the BIOS clock itself?
[20:03] <Tramp> cal-mac: you removed the line and rebooted?
[20:03] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: it said nothing ,
[20:03] <shbla99> xTheGoat121x: hwclock says the right time
[20:03] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: ok, now run   sudo fsck /dev/sda
[20:03] <nickrud> bots on the job
[20:04] <m3gach33zy> Hey guys i'm trying to install ubuntu onto my desktop and everything is going fine until it starts setting up.  My monitor goes black and doesnt want to display anything... but the cd is running fine cause I can hear it... any suggestions on how to get the monitor to work while installing?
[20:04] <_sojourner> is the ubuntu forums site down I can't reach it ? I get some wierd message from comcast , my isp
[20:04] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: argh, the bot confused me,    sudo fsck /dev/sdb6
[20:04] <KinPumpkinKing> I can't get my webcam detected!
[20:04] <xTheGoat121x> shbla99, hmmm my immediate thought there would have been HW problems... I've never heard of an OS clock floating.
[20:04] <pinklerose> don't seem to be have all the variables for eth1/inet. failed to bring up eth1. - what this mean? i think i have good /etc/network/interfaces file
[20:05] <billenium> Hello! Is there any possible way i can remove the Left, Right and Bottom boarder around my terminal?
[20:05] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: aha i noticed, im its checking
[20:05] <cal-mac> tramp: no, i didn't reboot.. i did however just look in the restricted drivers manager and the broadcom driver was listed in there!! now it is asking me to select the driver.. i assume i am supposed to pick something from the ndiswrapper folder right?
[20:05] <KinPumpkinKing> how can I mount my /dev/video0 or how can I can have gutsy detect my webcam?
[20:06] <billenium> kinpumpking: mount /dev/video0 /location/?
[20:06] <graft> billenium: eviction notices?
[20:06] <Tramp> cal-mac: Sorry, I have no experience with ndiswrapper at all.
[20:06] <billenium> huh?
[20:06] <shbla99> xTheGoat121x: is there a way to tell ubuntu to use the system/hardware clock?
[20:06] <billenium> graft: what?
[20:07] <nickrud> lol graft
[20:07] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: its force checking ,it said it contains a file system with errors
[20:07] <xTheGoat121x> shbla99, not that I'm aware of, I would imagine it would automatically do that but it might not be able to.  Instead, why not synchronize it to an internet time server?
[20:07] <billenium> meh worth a shot i guess...
[20:08] <KinPumpkinKing> billenium, it says it can't locate it under etc/something like that
[20:08] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: ok, I hope this takes care of it. The files are right
[20:08] <KinPumpkinKing> billenium, I guess it didn't detect it at all, which is what I really want :p
[20:08] <visof> how can i find the file for xsession?
[20:08] <billenium> I guess so
[20:08] <visof> .xsession
[20:09] <nickrud> visof: if it doesn't exist, you'd make it. To see it in the filemanager, ctl-h to show hidden files (files that start with a period are hidden)
[20:09] <shbla99> xTheGoat121x: for some reason, the ntp server stops running
[20:09] <blackjax> can you ssh onto an ubuntu livecd
[20:09] <xTheGoat121x> shbla99, wow.... that's... really odd
[20:10] <DRebellion> blackjax: i don't think the livecd contains sshd
[20:10] <kahrytan> DRebellion➲  probably right there. since that opens a port
[20:10] <blackjax> do you know if knoppix does
[20:11] <steveire> Hi. I thought intel released source code for their drivers,but restricted manager tells me it's proprietry...
[20:11] <kahrytan> blackjax➲  you can make your own live cd
[20:11] <steveire> It's a 3945 intel
[20:11] <steveire> pro wireless
[20:11] <anthis> steveire im having the same trouble
[20:11] <anthis> the wireless option doesn't show in the network settings does it?
[20:12] <nickrud> steveire: it probably has a firmware blob, that isn't open source
[20:12] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: the illegal nodes so i clear them
[20:12] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: ok, hope for the best
[20:12] <nalioth> how do i change my window manager?
[20:12] <nickrud> nalioth: find a broker
[20:12] <steveire> anthis: I'm using kubuntu really. I do get a wireless option, but it won't connect to my network atm for some reason
[20:13] <nickrud> nalioth: compliant ones should respect the   --replace option :)
[20:13] <Dr_willis> nalioth,   at the gdm login screen theres a menu to pick from the isntalled windopw managers.. unless you want to ask a more specific Q.
[20:13] <anthis> steveire: did you have to do anything for it to show up? or did it just automatically detect it?
[20:13] <nalioth> Dr_willis: i want to replace GDM with entrance, not gnome for kde
[20:13] <graft> Dr_willis: those are desktop environments, not window managers
[20:14] <graft> nalioth: that's a LOGIN manager, not a window manager!
[20:14] <Dr_willis> nalioth,  install entrance, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, (actually itshould do that automaticially)
[20:14]  * Dr_willis hates entrance.
[20:14] <chazco> Hi... does anyone know how to sync a Samsung F700 with evolution?
[20:14] <graft> is entrance in the repository?
[20:15] <Dr_willis> graft,  ive seen it in the gOS or geubuntu repos.. not sure about the standard ones
[20:15] <nalioth> graft: i don't think so, i'm running a super unstable version of enlightenment
[20:15] <graft> does entrance do multiple sessions for gnome or KDE?
[20:16] <nalioth> Dr_willis: any other ideas? entrance is installed but not showing up in the dpkg-reconfigure session
[20:16] <shbla99> how can i get cron/crontab to not log to syslog?
[20:16] <Dr_willis> graft,  and the GDM.KDM/whatever menus can have just 'window managers' listed in them (sawfish, icewm, wmx and so on) .. or they can have the whole desktop. (kde/gnome/xfce), r
[20:16] <nalioth> graft: join #e to ask about enlightenment/entrance
[20:16] <nickrud> nalioth: how did you install entrance ? If it's not a deb package using debconf , it won't respond to dpkg-reconfigure
[20:16] <Dr_willis> nalioth,  nope.  - Ijust installed the gOS-desktop and it handled all that.
[20:17] <nalioth> nickrud: i'm not sure where to look for --replace
[20:17] <nickrud> nalioth: that was for a window manager, like metacity
[20:17] <idefix> I put a png in the dir but I cannot change the emblem of my icon, why is that?
[20:17] <peppo> is it just me, or is the PS3 Ubuntu 7.10 installer very, very slow?
[20:17] <mindframe-> im getting md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz when trying to install flashplugin-nonfree.
[20:18] <nalioth> mindframe-: run your install again
[20:18] <nickrud> nalioth: try setting /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[20:18] <mindframe-> peppo, linux has not been optimized for the PS3 cell processor's
[20:18] <idefix> does ubuntu only pic icon-emblems from the scalable dir? then why are the other dirs there?
[20:18] <nalioth> nickrud: ah, thanks much
[20:18] <mindframe-> nalioth, i've remove --purge'd several times and it gives the same one every time
[20:19] <nalioth> mindframe-: then find the deb itself from packages.ubuntu.com and install it with gdebi
[20:19] <jughead> hey I plugged in a usb external hard drive before I left home and tried to access it (I use it through freenx) and nothing showed up.  dmesg output is odd... too long here's the pastebin:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51253/ any ideas?
[20:19] <chazco> mindframe- - you may want to look at the channel topic
[20:19] <Dr_willis> jughead,  ntfs filesystem?
[20:19] <mindframe-> hehe
[20:20] <xTheGoat121x> BRB
[20:20] <chazco> You can manually install Flash eaisly though... download the tar.gz from Adobe and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[20:20] <mindframe-> yeah i just wanted to have it in the package list
[20:20] <mindframe-> i usually do install it manually
[20:20] <jughead> Dr_willis, not sure; it's a WD Passport that worked with my linux laptop; it's a WD Passport 160 gig it might be ntfs
[20:20] <Dr_willis> the discussion urlk given in the bot/topic has links to deb's that work also.
[20:21] <chazco> mindframe- - once they fix it just delete the .so and install it from the repos
[20:21] <mindframe-> yeah ;)
[20:21] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: im done with fsck
[20:21] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: try the reboot then. May fail, but worth a try.
[20:21] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: ok
[20:23] <geminidomino> Strange problem... My ubuntu servers are apparently not obeying the post-up lines I added to /etc/network/interfaces to change the mode to 10baseT-FD. When I run mii-tool from the shell, though, it works. Any ideas?
[20:23] <Safiyyah> hi all. i burnt myubuntu  CD as a data disk + it doesnt load at start up
[20:23] <jaggy> can anyone give me a decent explanation of how to configure compiz ? :s i searched the web and i don't get any of the things explained there :s
[20:23] <Safiyyah> now wot?
[20:23] <blackjax> is performing nightly backups of one hard drive to another, on linux, an easily feasible task
[20:23] <Dr_willis> blackjax,  very feasible
[20:23] <Dr_willis> rsync  in a cron job is one way.
[20:24] <blackjax> i'm talking a literaly copy though, so that if one hdd failed, i could boot off the other
[20:24] <kxbx> hey all
[20:24] <blackjax> i can't setup raid 1
[20:24] <Dr_willis> blackjax,  dd can do exact copies..
[20:24] <mribas><PHONE_NUMBER>6
[20:24] <blackjax> thanks, Dr_willis
[20:24] <blackjax> last Q
[20:25] <Tramp> geminidomino: have you tried running ifup with the --verbose option?
[20:25] <blackjax> if hd1 fails, and hd2 is my exact copy. how would you go about saying "now load off of hd2" haha
[20:25] <Dr_willis> blackjax,  you could set up a grub entry to boot either one .
[20:25] <Safiyyah> gosh is any
[20:25] <mribas> not
[20:25] <Safiyyah> any1 2 help me
[20:25] <geminidomino> Tramp: I'll try that.
[20:25] <blackjax> grub is bios-side?
[20:26] <blackjax> so that if hd1 fails it's okie dokes
[20:26] <kxbx> what is it safiyyah?
[20:26] <Dr_willis> blackjax,  I think ya got some reading up to do on linux basics. :) and grub.
[20:26] <nickrud> Safiyyah: you have to burn it as an iso, that's a coaster you have (except maybe for reference)
[20:26] <blackjax> okie
[20:26] <blackjax> thanks Dr_willis
[20:26] <Safiyyah> kxbx> i downloaded the VCD and DVD version too
[20:26] <geminidomino> Tramp: Will --force be safe if I use -n? or does --force override -n?
[20:26] <Dr_willis> blackjax,  you could always just tell the bios to boot the other hd.
[20:26] <dreitech> hi everyone.. can someone help me? I'm quite new to Linux.
[20:26] <Dr_willis> blackjax,  or remove the bad. and swap cables
[20:26] <Safiyyah> kxb> I wanted to install the DVD version but anyway
[20:26] <blackjax> true, thanks again Dr_willis
[20:26] <blackjax> i appreciate your help
[20:26] <Safiyyah> I cant get the VCD to work
[20:27] <Safiyyah> at all
[20:27] <Tramp> geminidomino: no idea. I'd expect force to take precedence - but the manpage doesn't tell
[20:27] <Safiyyah> I just burnt it as a data disk
[20:27] <stathis> hello
[20:27] <geminidomino> hm... it says it's running it...
[20:27] <stathis> i am new is anyone that can help me?
[20:27] <kxbx> mmm
[20:28] <kxbx> FCS
[20:28] <geminidomino> This is nuts...
[20:28] <nickrud> Safiyyah: and that's the problem. if you mount it in windows and see only one file, the iso, then you burned it wrong and must burn as an iso. infrarecorder is a free windows burner that will do the job
[20:28] <Safiyyah> kbx> I tried doing it as a burnt image but that actually didnt go on the disk it went on the HDD
[20:28] <billenium> Do ATI drivers work okay with Ubuntu?
[20:28] <Webspot> Hey. I'm having problems with the built in microphone on my laptop. It doesn't seem to pick up any sound in any sound recording apps. I've set the recording input to Mic, but it doesn't seem to connect up
[20:28] <_moro_bana_> nickrud:  it did not show on the grub menu
[20:28] <geminidomino> Webspot: Is this on an intel on-board audio by any chance?
[20:28] <bildpunkt> hey i have 6 virtual desktops. how can i stick windows to one desktop so they do not overlap to another desktop (when they are opened)
[20:28] <Webspot> geminidomino: Yes, I believe it is
[20:29] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: the Drive 2 stuff we added didn't show?
[20:29] <geminidomino> Webspot: Had the same problem... trying to remember the fix... Involved switching the input channels in the sound applet I beleive
[20:29] <Shapeshifter_> i have a really funny problem. i can't use the ctrl, alt and shift keys anymore. besides of that, e.g. if i click on any menus in opera the will disappear immediatly if i release the mouse button. or e.g. if i click on the kickoff menu the upper menu entry flickers. or i can't just hold a button to have it act multiple times. e.g. i have to write aaaaaaa i have to press a multiple times, i can't just hold it down.
[20:29] <winwinwin> renting a dedicated server VS renting a dedicated line for a server at home
[20:29] <itch_> Hello guys. I`m trying to connect to wireless router in my apartment that is configured to use DHCP and WPA encryption. From what i`ve read around the forums, there seem to be a problem when using DHCP and WPA. Is there any fix to the problem ?
[20:29] <Shapeshifter_> and this is, since i pressed alt-f2 to disable wireless. i just installed the ipw3945 package as the iwl3945 didnt work ar all, and now the wlan actually works, but my keyboard is messed up. i already had this once with the other driver....
[20:29] <Webspot> geminidomino: I'll have a look around there. Thanks.
[20:29] <dreitech> are PCMCIA cards plug and play for ubuntu?
[20:29] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: aha only the one im using and the xp
[20:30] <mneptok> dreitech: if the kernel supports the device, yes
[20:30] <flipmode> running kubuntu 7.10 cant get cds or dvds to read anyone know a fix?
[20:30] <sahil> is there a way to kill a process and store its data in a buffer and then relaunch the application in its prior state
[20:30] <geminidomino> gyah... every server... *facepalms* what a pain
[20:30] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: ok, then somewhere the right changes didn't get written to the right place.  mount   , and paste the output
[20:31] <billenium> Hey, im buying an ATI graphics card, and i want to know if there will be any problems with the driver if i have Ubuntu?
[20:31] <jughead> billenium, it's possible
[20:31] <Tramp> itch_: I can't see, what should be the problem with WPA (Layer2) and dhcp (Layer3) - can you give a reference to which problems you refer?
[20:31] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: ok
[20:31] <mneptok> dreitech: i'd prefer being asked about PMs before receiving them
[20:31] <billenium> jughead: erm, thanks?
[20:32] <bundagan> i just installed a gforce mx4000, and using synaptic i installed nvidia-glx; but i am only getting 400fps in glxgears, what gives? should i have installed nvidia-glx-new instead?
[20:32] <Dr_willis> billenium,  i would not buy ati - if you want best linyux sypport
[20:32] <mneptok> dreitech: you can know if the card is supported by looking online at what devices/chipsets the Linux kernel supports
[20:32] <Webspot> geminidomino: Nah. Nothing in the sound applet, that seems to fix it.
[20:32] <mneptok> dreitech: if it's a wireless card with a Broadcom chipset, good luck.
[20:32] <dreitech> mneptok: sorry, I'm new here and to Ubuntu. Thanks.
[20:32] <mneptok> dreitech: no problem
[20:32] <vinicius__> hello
[20:33] <itch_> Tramp, i just can`t connect to the router. It hangs at "Waiting for IP".
[20:33] <vinicius__> how can i aplu an alsa patc?
[20:33] <vinicius__> *apply
[20:33] <dreitech> mnpetok: how about d-link cards?
[20:33] <vinicius__> *patch
[20:33] <vinicius__> hottible typing...
[20:33] <_moro_bana_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51255/
[20:33] <blackjax> what would be the advantages of doing a nightly rsync as opposed to a raid1 setup
[20:33] <vinicius__> *horrible
[20:33] <geminidomino> Webspot: Gimme a sec, trying to find it in google
[20:33] <Webspot> geminidomino: Thanks
[20:33] <Tramp> itch_: iwconfig <interface> shows the interface associated?
[20:33] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51255/
[20:34] <flipmode> running kubuntu 7.10 cant get cds or dvds to read anyone know a fix?
[20:34] <mneptok> blackjax: RAID is useless in the event of physical catastrophe
[20:34] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: you're in the second partition, see the first line there :)
[20:34] <blackjax> but a nightly rsync would be better?
[20:34] <mneptok> i <3 off-site storage
[20:34] <blackjax> oh no no
[20:34] <blackjax> i mean rsync from one hd to another in the same box
[20:34] <mneptok> blackjax: to an external drive locked in a fireproof safe? you bet.
[20:35] <itch_> Tramp, is that what youre looking for? "eth1      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any "
[20:35] <Rufus> in eggdrop, i get: [20:34] Couldn't listen on port '6667' on the given address. Please make sure 'my-ip' is set correctly, or try a different port.
[20:35] <Rufus>     while executing
[20:35] <Dr_willis> locked in a room.. surrounded by huge attack dogs! :)
[20:35] <siriusnova> yay
[20:35] <siriusnova> brand new ubuntu  laptop
[20:35] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: yes i saw it, what a suprise, i did not notice
[20:35] <siriusnova> what apps should i install :)
[20:35] <Rufus> does that mean it cant connect to the server on that port?
[20:35] <mneptok> Rufus: try an eggdrop channel
[20:35] <LjL> Rufus: that's more than a bit package-specific, you should try #eggdrop
[20:35] <vinicius__> alsa patch in compiling alsa? anyone knows?
[20:35] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: so replace the /boot/grub/menu.lst in that one with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51245/ , that way it will see both partitions
[20:35] <mneptok> Rufus: that's not an OS error. it's an eggdrop configuration problem.
[20:35] <Dr_willis> Rufus,  could be the port is in use.
[20:35] <Tramp> itch_: no, in the 2nd line, after "Access Point" - does it show a MAC?
[20:36] <geminidomino> Webspot: This is what I used: http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001422.html
[20:36] <Webspot> geminidomino: Thanks. I'll take a look
[20:36] <Rufus> is it trying to connect to the server or my computer?
[20:36] <dreitech> mneptok: do you reckon d-link cards are supported?
[20:36] <Xintruder> hi
[20:36] <mneptok> Rufus: try an eggdrop channel, please
[20:36] <geminidomino> Any other ideas on mii-tool not working as a post-up?
[20:36] <mneptok> dreitech: D-Link uses about 25 different actual wireless chipsets. which one are you talking about?
[20:37] <itch_> Tramp, there is no access point or MAC there.
[20:37] <flipmode> running kubuntu 7.10 cant get cds or dvds to read anyone know a fix?
[20:37] <itch_> Tramp, each time i try to connect via WIFI, my wired connection (using now) is hanged up.
[20:37] <mneptok> flipmode: you've been asking that for hours and *still* aren't on #kubuntu? ;)
[20:37] <EvaLuaTe> is there any way to see stuff that was recently installed/uninstalled please ?
[20:38] <dreitech> mneptok, I'm totally forgot the model but I'm referring to a pci wireless card for an old laptop.
[20:38] <flipmode> mneptok: i just started asking five minutes ago and there is noone in that irc
[20:38] <Tramp> itch_: having both wired and wireless at the same time in the same subnet is troublesome for the routing anyways and hard to debug.
[20:39] <mneptok> dreitech: your question is basically "i want to drive 300mph."  "you should see if your car supports that."  "it's an Oldsmobile."
 is nowehere near enough information to help you.
[20:39] <flipmode> thor: i do agree
[20:39] <itch_> Tramp,  there are 2 different internet connetions. Not on the same subnet.
[20:39] <mneptok> flipmode: there are a ton of people in #kubuntu
[20:40] <Dr_willis> the CHIPSET of a card is more imporntant then the brand/company
[20:40] <Jefo> hi!
[20:40] <mneptok> flipmode: which you now know, as you just /join'ed :)
[20:40] <Tramp> itch_: well, then probably the default-GW switches, for some reason, to the not working wireless - but that would imply that dhcp works.
[20:40] <Safiyyah> is  any1 going to help me with this CD problem or what?
[20:40] <Dr_willis> ive also seen exact identical  wireless cards that have different chipsets.. because the silly company changed the specs.. but just called one a version 1.2, and the other radically differetn card was a version 1.3 :)
[20:41] <cabrioleur> EvaLuaTe, sudo less /var/log/dpkg.log
[20:41] <Jefo> when see other wlan networks in ubuntu, can i be sure wlan works on this laptop with ubuntu??
[20:41] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: done , then reboot ?
[20:41] <mneptok> Dr_willis: it's OK. you can say "d-Link" ;)
[20:41] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: yes
[20:41] <itch_> Tramp, i don`t require to use the bouth connections as the same time.
[20:41] <jaggy> can anyone give me a decent explanation of how to configure compiz ? :s i searched the web and i don't get any of the things explained there :s
[20:41] <th0r> Safiyyah well I just got here and don't know what your problem is, but if you keep that attitude...no
[20:41] <dreitech> mneptok: yeah., i got your point. i'd go check the shop tomorrow for the exact model number. Should I then cross check it with the linux kernel throught the INternte?
[20:41] <Dr_willis> mnemo,  actually this was a Linksys card  In my case..
[20:42] <mneptok> dreitech: is this a card you're thinking about buying?
[20:42] <mneptok> Dr_willis: yeah, them too. bleh.
[20:42] <itch_> Tramp, let me try connect now and see what I get . BRB
[20:42] <RyanPrior> jaggy: Use CompizConfig settings manager
[20:42] <RyanPrior> !ccsm | jaggy
[20:42] <ubitux_> hi
[20:42] <ubotu> jaggy: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[20:42] <jaggy> ty
[20:42] <dreitech> mneptok: yes. I used to connect by LAN but my uncle broke the pins inside, god knows how.
[20:42] <lil_cain> on a dapper machine, is there any way of telling if an NFS drive is mounted?
[20:42] <Safiyyah> lol thor
[20:43] <ubitux_> someone can give me the result of ls -ld /root/ please ?
[20:43] <mneptok> dreitech: you in the US?
[20:43] <dreitech> Dr_willis: how do you know what chipset it uses?
[20:43] <lil_cain>  /etc/mtab is singularly useless
[20:43] <Dr_willis> there are replacement network cards. other then wireless..
[20:43] <Safiyyah> i seem to have the problem no1 wants to deal with
[20:43] <dreitech> mneptok: Maputo, Mozambique, Africa.
[20:43] <Dr_willis> dreitech,   lots of googling I guess..
[20:43] <poeloq> re
[20:44] <komputes> has anyone seen tonic-pushcart around?
[20:44] <dreitech> Dr_willis I agree.. mneptok made me realize that a few minutes ago
[20:44] <mneptok> dreitech: desculpe, que pena. ;)
[20:44] <Safiyyah> dreitech mozambique... wow
[20:44] <itch_> Tramp, noup. No MAC ..
[20:44] <nickrud> Safiyyah: I've already given you the fix
[20:44] <mneptok> dreitech: look at the compatability list at http://madwifi.org
[20:44] <geminidomino> Safiyyah: You've been told how to fix it more than once already
[20:44] <Tramp> itch_: but if you have no MAC it should clearly say "not associated"?
[20:44] <mneptok> dreitech: choose a card using an Atheros chipset that others have reported works
[20:45] <Max__> poeloq
[20:45] <Max__> ?
[20:45] <WinShade> ok, i screwed myself...
[20:45] <poeloq> poeloq: what?
[20:45] <impsyn> I'm trying to compile the DRI drivers for an Ati card and I got to step 1.7 on http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building but I just don't understand what it's telling me to do. Can anyone assist? It seems like kernel stuff but I donno exactly what the guy means or how to tell if it's applicable.
[20:45] <poeloq> Max__: what?
[20:45] <dreitech> mneptok: nao falo bem de portugues.. eu estou aqui um ano tres mes porque eu estudou em swazilandia.. muito obrigado
[20:45] <mneptok> dreitech: you could also take an Ubuntu LiveCD to the store, and ask to test the card using a live session
[20:45] <Safiyyah> gemini i apologise..... i was watching the screen for a while saw no responses and finally rebooted to try a few other options
[20:46] <geminidomino> Safiyyah: What burning software are you using?
[20:46] <mneptok> dreitech: really? wow, i have a very good friend from Swaziland. and i don't speak Portugese well, either. :)
[20:46] <yuanfeng> haha
[20:46] <nickrud> Safiyyah: if you mount it in windows and see only one file, the iso, then you burned it wrong and must burn as an iso. infrarecorder is a free windows burner that will do the job
[20:46] <dreitech> mneptok: I tried telling them that but they really have bad service.. I'm serious. Waterford Kamhlaba UWCSA
[20:47] <WinShade> i didnt have an internet connection so i download ndiswrapper 1.51 from the website and tried to install it following the instructions. that failed, finally i ran a really long wire to hook it up to the internet and tried uninstalling ndiswrapper, and then installing (via synaptic) ndiswrapper 1.43. now when i try modprobe ndiswrapper i get "could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/misc/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory.
[20:47] <WinShade> Any ideas anyone?
[20:47] <Landon> Does anyone know how much RAM a cli only ubuntu installation with apache and postfix would take?
[20:47] <mneptok> dreitech: the MadWiFi Compatability chart will set you right
[20:48] <geminidomino> Landon: I suspect it would depend on the load
[20:48] <mneptok> dreitech: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility
[20:48] <Volkodav> How do I turn off gnome's xkb layout so I can use xkb from xorg ?
[20:48] <Landon> I'm just looking for a general figure so I know what level of VPS to purchase
[20:48] <itch_> Tramp, here`s what iwconfig says: http://pastebin.com/d24b3c354
[20:48] <Landon> right now I'm looking at one with 64mb ram, but I'm not sure how much I'd have to go around after getting everything installed
[20:48] <geminidomino> Landon: Well, how much traffic do you expect to get? Do you intend on running bayes filters on the email? Etc...
[20:49] <Tramp> itch_: well, as I said "not associated" - so your WPA does not work at all
[20:49] <leppards> Hi, can anyone point me to a document detailing the installation of Ubuntu on an external USB drive and being able to boot from a macbook pro
[20:49] <RyanPrior> !usb | leppards
[20:49] <ubotu> leppards: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[20:49] <dreitech> mneptok: thanks a lot. I've been going crazy about this. Would you believe me that someone just gave me a laptop for free?
[20:49] <Landon> I don't expect very much traffic or anything very intensive on there
[20:49] <mneptok> dreitech: any bloodstains?
[20:49] <blackjax> !usb | def
[20:49] <ubotu> def: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[20:49] <itch_> Tramp, it should.
[20:49] <itch_> Tramp, how do i find out ?
[20:49] <Landon> I just need to get something I can put my mail and webserver on
[20:50] <LjL> Landon: although not really a Server-specific question, you might try asking on #ubuntu-server, since that's a typical setup for the Server edition much more than the Desktop edition
[20:50] <Tramp> itch_: you are using wpa_supplicant, I presume?
[20:50] <leppards> ubotu: would this also be applicable to a USB drive instead of a stick.
[20:50] <itch_> Tramp, i`m using wicd network manager.
[20:50] <geminidomino> Landon: Then 64MB might be tight but passable, 128 would probably be better.
[20:50] <opapo> I have a problem installing Ubuntu on a 1U HP proliant server
[20:50] <leppards> ubotu : would this also be applicable to a USB drive instead of a stick.
[20:50] <ouellettesr> is there an apt log file?
[20:50] <geminidomino> Landon: Just have to worry about load spikes on the apache. Try not to get slashdotted. :)
[20:50] <Landon> thanks to both, that answered my question and I'll be sure to go check out -server if I need more help
[20:50] <RyanPrior> !bot | leppards
[20:50] <Landon> hah
[20:50] <WinShade> ndiswrapper.ko is missing.. is there anyway i can get this file? I've tried completely removing ndiswrapper and reinstalling but it still says ndiswrapper.ko is missing. Ideas?
[20:50] <ubotu> leppards: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[20:50] <itch_> Tramp, yes, i installed that from reps. But i`m not sure that i configure it right.
[20:50] <Safiyyah> nickrud: it actually looks more like a zip file.. which when unzipped I get all the other files and see them. So are u saying that i need to unzip first and then burn? (I am downloading the infrarecorder)
[20:50] <leppards> ubotu  would this also be applicable to a USB drive instead of a stick.
[20:50] <geminidomino> fsck...
[20:51] <geminidomino> Half my servers ignore post-up, half don't...
[20:51] <Tramp> itch_: dunno this program, but for WPA you usually need a ESSID, a mode and a key
[20:51] <geminidomino> better check the version numbers... I hate inherited networks...
[20:51] <fallore> can someone help me download fusemb? or in some other way get onto the workgroup all the rest of the (windows) computers are on in this house?
[20:51] <dreitech> mneptok: no.. no bloodstains.. A friend of mine had this dell inspiron 8100..

[20:51] <nickrud> Safiyyah: no, you need to make a bootable cd. don't unzip anything (you should have a file ending in iso) and use infrarecorder to create a bootable cd
[20:52] <itch_> Tramp, and how do I get those?
[20:52] <dreitech> mneptok: i had to replace the RAM and HDD but I got lucky and Ubuntu work as I installed it with the HDD after 10 tries. Been using Linux but very ignorantly

[20:52] <Tramp> itch_: they have to match what's configured on the AP
[20:52] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: thank u very much for your time
[20:53] <Safiyyah> nickrud, I did that bootable CD thing using nero + got same thing, will see what infrarecorder says... is this the same for the DVD?

[20:54] <arooni-mobile> using ls
[20:54] <pike_> DWSR2: i dont think you can mkfs a ntfs partition
[20:54] <Tramp> itch_: You run this AP, right? So you configured the values on the AP somewhere 8)
[20:54] <itch_> Tramp, I know the SSID and the encyption key. But what about the mode ?
[20:54] <dreitech> mneptok: thanks.. the battery is dead though so I need to keep plugged. Buying a battery in this country is like buying a pc..
[20:54] <th0r> fallore fusesmb is available in synaptic
[20:54] <pike_> DWSR2: you can setup the partition and let windows format later
[20:54] <fallore> th0r: is it fusesmb? not fusemb?
[20:54] <WinShade> ndiswrapper.ko can't be found even though i installed ndiswrapper 1.43, where can I find it?
[20:54] <itch_> Tramp, yes and no. It`s my roomate`s AP. I know that settings, but I don`t really wanna temper with it.
[20:54] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: cool, I learned a bit more about how uuid's work myself.
[20:54] <th0r> fallore fusesmb - two s's
[20:54] <nickrud> Safiyyah: yes it would be
[20:55] <fallore> th0r: when i search nothing comes up. do i need an additional source?
[20:55] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: u know i copied a 72G to a to 150G hdd its exactly like that, its not showing the free space

[20:55] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: then i ll have to use gparted maybe

[20:55] <fallore> th0r*
[20:55] <bahman> Hi everybody
[20:56] <WinShade> ndiswrapper.ko was not installed or downloaded for ndiswrapper 1.43. how do i find/generate this file so i can use "modprobe ndiswrapper"?
[20:56] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: yeh u were researching all this time
[20:56] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: not all this time, much of it was spend drumming my fingers, hoping you would be back :)
[20:56] <bahman> How could I delete some fonts in non root-user account?!
[20:56] <th0r> fallore http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51258/    make a backup of your file before using this one!
[20:56] <Tramp> itch_: well - the mode is most probably PSK. Just enter key and essid wherever your GUI wants them
[20:57] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: ofcoz dont change your nick please, u a developer
[20:57] <fallore> i'm sorry th0r but i have no idea how to 1. use that 2. make a backup of whatever it replaces :-//
[20:57] <bahman> Could anyone help me in deleting fonts, created by root-user?!
[20:58] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: not even close to being a developer. That takes work, this is simple fun. I've been using linux for a while now and try to help out as I was helped when I was strarting
[20:58] <dreitech> mneptok: pm?
[20:59] <ompaul> dreitech, he is gone away
[20:59] <fallore> nickrud: i think that attitude is what makes ubuntu and this community so great. ever since i discovered this channel, even though i know nearly nothing, i've been sitting in it trying to help and learn :D
[20:59] <th0r> fallore the file in /etc/apt called sources.list is the list of repositories that synaptic uses to find packages. The pastebin url I sent contains a copy of my sources.list, which includes a repo that has fusesmb. You would need to make a backup copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list and then create a new one with the contents I sent.
[20:59] <dreitech> ompaul: ok.
[20:59] <sarthor> i am asking again after 5 min, I Using Ubuntu Hardy, In GUI, my network manager need to be unlocked, How to unlock, i am new.
[20:59] <bahman> Could anyone help me in deleting fonts that created by root-user?!
[20:59] <fallore> thanks th0r!
[21:00] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: i love that, i ve been using linux for almost a year now, i love it, its fun, now wanna know the system very well
[21:00] <Safiyyah> nickrud,  I am gonna do the DVD now... ran out of 700MB disks, will try again in a few hours when I restock only have 650MB disks now
[21:00] <nickrud> fallore: absolutely. I installed warty on a lark cuz I used debian, opend xchat and got dumped here. Got sucked in immediately. Much more fun than helping on mail lists and debian's channel was too abusive. But enough off topic
[21:01] <arooni-mobile> how do i list all files in a directory and get the date they were created (not modified)?
[21:01] <nickrud> Safiyyah: ok, see you
[21:01] <fallore> th0r: it wont let me save the file, said something about insufficient permission
[21:02] <Safiyyah> nickrud, time to shoot windows..... the infrared wont work. I have been having trouble with installations it keeps telling me exe files are corrupted or commited illegal actions NOT just for this
[21:02] <Tramp> arooni-mobile: the creation date is not stored.
[21:02] <th0r> fallore you need to use 'sudo' to edit system files.
[21:02] <arooni-mobile> Tramp, is there any way to change that
[21:02] <fallore> i was just opening it with gedit, should i sudo gedit it from terminal then?
[21:03] <th0r> fallore open a terminal and type 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'
[21:03] <Tramp> arooni-mobile: change what? Storage of creation date? No.
[21:03] <Volkodav> anybody got xkb layout working in xfce?
[21:03] <fallore> th0r: just for education's sake, what does the gk part do/mean?
[21:03] <Safiyyah> nickrud, downloading image burn
[21:03] <th0r> fallore or does ubuntu use gnomesu? the gksu is a gui frontend to su....opens a nice little window for the passwd
[21:04] <Starnestommy> gksudo?
[21:04] <senjin> hello I have a problem with my graphic drivers the change to vesa generic from my i810 inte graphics drivers and it changes my languge settings to and it makes it inpossible to run blender and games
[21:04] <fallore> th0r: i dont know, whenever i do sudo it asks for the password before doing whatever it is supposed to do in the terminal
[21:04] <nickrud> th0r: you can change what gksu uses with gksu-properties, but it defaults to sudo backend
[21:04] <th0r> Starnestommy  might be that....I created a script for gksu cause I use both ubuntu and suse, one uses gksu the other gnomesu, so I scripted them both <smile>
[21:04] <itch__> Tramp, ok, I`ve got it. Had to set the wpa supplicant to wext :) Thanks for the help man.
[21:05] <graft> is there some easier way to configure exim4 other than its stupid config files?
[21:05] <th0r> fallore right....entering that password gives you system access
[21:05] <bahman> I added an unsupported program which name was "Ubuntu restricted extras" - It was install some fonts I really hate them! How could I delete these fonts?!
[21:05] <PirateHead> graft: Write a python script that automates it.
[21:05] <nickrud> !gksudo | fallore
[21:05] <ubotu> fallore: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[21:05] <Tramp> itch__: glad you got it working. So dhcp is now fine as well?
[21:05] <bahman> Help help help!
[21:05] <leppards> Hi, any help would be appreciated with pointers for installing linux on an external USB drive and booting on a macbook pro.
[21:05] <graft> PirateHead: uh... what would that python script do?
[21:05] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: see you around ,gonna read for my exam
[21:05] <fallore> thanks nickrud
[21:05] <bense> how do i mount a device so that a non-root user can read/write to it?  what's that mount option?
[21:05] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: probably :)
[21:05] <PirateHead> graft: It would write a configuration file based on input from a GUI, probably.
[21:06] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: u come here often
[21:06] <graft> PirateHead: so, in other words, i would have to not only do the work of understanding exim4 config, but create a python script to autogenerate it?
[21:06] <WinShade> ndiswrapper.ko was not installed or downloaded for ndiswrapper 1.43. how do i find/generate this file so i can use "modprobe ndiswrapper"?
[21:06] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: more often than is good for me right now, but it comes in waves. I was away for a year a while ago
[21:07] <graft> bense: mount -o rw, plus make sure that they have the appropriate permissions
[21:07] <itch__> Tramp, yeah. I`m chating from the WIFI connection right now. The only problem though, I have to restart the apps that are connected to the internet in the moment I switch connection (pidgin, skype, etc.)
[21:07] <PirateHead> graft: That's assuming that there is no existing exim4 configuration automator already available.
[21:07] <attickid> help with network settings I have a desktop,it uses wireless card to connect to internet..and I have a laptop..which Im connecting to the lan port of the deskop..I set up ip numbers but when I use ping commands with the laptop it says it cant find the ip number of the desktop
[21:07] <graft> PirateHead: that's what I was asking for!
[21:07] <PirateHead> graft: you'd be saving other people the work, though. :-)

[21:07] <graft> PirateHead: nuts to those people! i want to save ME work

[21:08] <bense> for some reason it just stopped working today

[21:08] <bahman> Ahh :(
[21:08] <itch__> Tramp: I know. Well, now I can use my notebook while in the bathroom :D
[21:08] <jshriver_> How can I setup a proxy server?

[21:09] <jshriver_> rather what package should I apt-get?
[21:09] <Tramp> itch__: *g* - have fun then.
[21:09] <PirateHead> graft: I found it by googling "exim4 configuration GUI"
[21:09] <Starnestommy> depends on which protocol you want for the proxy

[21:12] <bahman> th0r: I really remove the package but fonts are now be there! in the font folder
[21:12] <th0r> bahman if the fonts were installed with that package, they should have been removed with it. Have you logged out and back in to see if they are just cached?

[21:14] <bahman> th0r:  I added an unsupported program which name was "Ubuntu restricted extras" - It was install some fonts I really hate them!
[21:14] <sarthor> how to move back to gusty?? is there any command??
[21:15] <Safiyyah> Jack_Sparrow, what is a cloaked machine? sounds like star trek
[21:15] <PirateHead> white_eagle: Why would you want it to do that?
[21:15] <th0r> bahman in gnome you should be able to change the font that is used...you shouldn't have to delete them...just start using a different one. I am not sure where the config is done...I don't use gnome
[21:15] <white_eagle> just for fun
[21:15] <bluefox83> sarthor, i'd suggest a fresh install...
[21:15] <PirateHead> white_eagle: I'm sure it's possible. Download the Nautilus source code and figure it out.
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Safiyyah: Sorry.. enough offtopic...
[21:15] <sarthor> bluefox83, by CD drive is not reliable
[21:15] <nickrud> sarthor: nope no going back
[21:15] <rokra> okok someone tried the xubuntu 7.10?? seems the 3D is not working fine?
[21:15] <jenya> hy yall can anyone help me wit bcm94311mcg install??
[21:15] <bahman> th0r: thanks
[21:15] <th0r> bahman look at the desktop settings in the menu
[21:16] <_moro_bana_> nickrud:i tried that oon me yeh, but on you no
[21:16] <nickrud> Safiyyah: _moro_bana_ you can find out more about ips and cloaking them by asking in #freenode
[21:16] <bahman>  I added an unsupported program which name was "Ubuntu restricted extras" - It was install some fonts I really hate them! How could I delete these fonts?!
[21:16] <dragon67> PirateHead: it work it show me gear doest mean my graphic is installed?
[21:16] <bahman> th0r: sure ;)
[21:16] <bluefox83> sarthor, have a usb thumb drive?
[21:16] <th0r> bahman it is under Settings -Desktop Settings
[21:16] <th0r> bahman  you should be able to change fonts there.
[21:16] <Safiyyah> nickrud,  thanx
[21:16] <PirateHead> dragon67: How many FPS are you getting? (It should say on the terminal window)
[21:16] <jenya> i try sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter does nothing
[21:16] <Fingel> Hey guys, Im running ubuntu at my house at home, and I SSH to it with putty from my laptop at school, how can I launch GUI applications on the ubuntu computer at home on an xsession that I know is running?
[21:17] <sarthor> nickrud, ohhh.... then tell me how to connect my wireless.. ssid is khan WPA key is abcd1234 and ip is <IP_ADDRESS> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:17] <PirateHead> !vino | Fingel
[21:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vino - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:17] <nickrud> bahman: uninstall msttcorefonts , it will remove ubuntu-restricted-extras as well. That's ok since ube is just a list of packages.
[21:17] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: thanks  bye
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> jenya: That is not the right driver for a bcm943xx
[21:17] <th0r> Fingel you have several options...you can use vnc, do X forwarding through ssh, or use NX
[21:17] <PirateHead> !vnc | Fingel
[21:17] <ubotu> Fingel: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[21:17] <bahman> th0r: whrer is this setting?!
[21:17] <sarthor> bluefox83, Yes i hav usb pen drive. thumd drive is that??
[21:17] <nickrud> sarthor: lol. I live or die by networkmanager I know little to nothing about wireless
[21:17] <dragon67> PirateHead: 3678 frames in 5.0 seconds = 731.998 FPS
[21:17] <dragon67> piratehead:3678 frames in 5.0 seconds = 731.998 FPS
[21:17] <th0r> bahman I can't say...I don't use gnome
[21:17] <PirateHead> dragon67: it sounds like your graphics card is probably installed just fine.
[21:17] <bluefox83> sarthor, think so...try using that to install it...
[21:17] <nickrud> _moro_bana_: see you about
[21:18] <ganymede> hello, i have just accidentally rm'ed the /usr, /bin, /etc, and some other directories on a file server (i thought i was rm'ing it off of a mounted disk, not the root filesystem). i wanted to ask if it's still safe to write things onto it's mounted samba shares, before i reinstall linux on it
[21:18] <th0r> bahman, if I remember right there is a gnome-configuration-editor...it might be in there.
[21:18] <sarthor> blu2, i hav remove network-admin and reinstalled but same
[21:18] <dragon67> PirateHead:thanks a lot is there any specific number that it should show
[21:18] <Fingel> I tired checking off x11 forwarding in putty, gives me an error connection to localhost:10.0 was lost
[21:18] <sarthor> bluefox83, , i hav remove network-admin and reinstalled but same
[21:18] <th0r> ganymede probably not.
[21:18] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: what do i need to get the right onw
[21:18] <jenya> one..
[21:19] <sarthor> can any 1 tell me how to make change in /etc/network/interface for ssid is khan WPA key is abcd1234 and ip is <IP_ADDRESS> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:19] <th0r> Fingel if you want to use X forwarding in windows you are going to have to run Xming at the same time
[21:19] <PirateHead> dragon67: Nope, the number it shows depends on your graphics card, your computer, and so on. On my computer, which has no graphics card, I only get about 400 FPS.
[21:19] <bahman> nickrud: Really thanks ;)
[21:19] <Soskel> hi, what year did RH release their first distro?
[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> jenya: I dont know about the 943... I use the bcm43xx
[21:19] <unagi> how do u change the icon of the batter applet in the sys tray
[21:19] <th0r> Fingel  check searcher.myvnc.com/geek...I have some notes about remote access
[21:19] <PirateHead> dragon67: However, you might be able to get more FPS out of that card with different drivers. I'm not an expert on that, though.
[21:19] <bcardarella> What is the Ubuntu way of installing Apache modules? Do I use apt-get or something similar as opposed to downloading and compiling?
[21:20] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: do you know of anyone of any channle than can help me..?
[21:20] <robyonrails> hi guys, what editor do you use for programming?
[21:20] <bahman> th0r: Thanks, <nickrud> said it! I should unistall msttcorefonts ;)
[21:20] <bluefox83> sarthor, i dunno how to help you, i think there used to be a #ubuntu+1 or something for the next releases of ubuntu...
[21:20] <PirateHead> bcardarella: Right, you use apt. For example, apt-get libapache2-mod-ruby
[21:20] <white_eagle> robyonrails, I use gambas
[21:20] <white_eagle> !info gambas

[21:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eclipse - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:21] <th0r> ganymede I wouldn't want to be on the libs being cached...not all of them....so you don't know when the whole thing will come down on your head <smile>
[21:21] <white_eagle> robyonrails, did that help?
[21:21] <sarthor> bluefox83, OK, thank you.. I am hanging.. my feisty was upgraded from the internet to gusty.. so i dont hav any gusty.

[21:21] <bluefox83> sarthor, i don't know if there's a dist-downgrade type command for ubuntu or not...
[21:21] <elektronik123> witam
[21:21] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: i got the light to go on once but i just did a whole reinstall for the sake of expolring
[21:21] <ganymede> th0r: lol, i can't even halt it now
[21:22] <rokra> why the 3D is not integrated in the xubuntu ? like in ubuntu?
[21:22] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: how does ndiswrapper work? or fwcutter
[21:22] <ganymede> would the kubuntu live dvd allow me to run a samba server?
[21:22] <FireHazrd> jenya: i wrote a simple tutorial for ndiswarpper & ubuntu a couple weeks ago. It may help you http://www.firehazrd.com/ubuntu/using-windows-wireless-drivers-on-ubuntu-ndiswrapper-utility
[21:22] <bcardarella> Well to add to the discussion I use Aptana Studio and Gedit. I'm slowly weening myself off of Aptana though... with a little time you can configuring Gedit to act very similar to Textmate. The only downer is that I haven't found any SVN integration yet.
[21:22] <th0r> ganymede right...like I said...you don't know what is in the cache, so it is pending doom <smile> Good luck
[21:22] <palbuddy> help! I formated an external HD to ext3 now when I look at the drive in gnome it says 'lost and found' and I don't have the authoriation to access it!
[21:22] <elektronik123> witam hello guten morgen
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !ndiswrapper
[21:22] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:22] <nickrud> rokra: most people that install xubuntu don't like all the hand holding that ubuntu does, so it expects you to do much manually
[21:22] <PirateHead> bcardarella: You can always write a plugin for gEdit to integrate with SVN.
[21:22] <th0r> ganymede any of the live cds would work...the only difference is the desktop you will be working in
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> jenya: I suppose yu already tried all of that
[21:23] <th0r> ganymede  for a server I would use xubuntu...lighter and leaves more for the 'server' part
[21:23] <Safiyyah> nickrud, just letting you know my DVD works, thanx 4 ur help
[21:23] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: yep forgot wth i did
[21:23] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: recaping ..lol
[21:23] <FireHazrd> jenya: take a look at my tutorial and if it works let me know
[21:23] <ganymede> th0r: i usually choose a server install, a desktop livedvd can offer that, right?
[21:23] <bahman> nickrud: My problem is solve :D really thanks again ;)
[21:24] <nickrud> bcardarella: you could try installing nautilus-script-collection-svn , it gives you most of the svn stuff you need as a right click
[21:24] <bcardarella> PirateHead: yeah, I know. I've actually written a few modifications to some of the other plugins. But my Python abilities are not good enough yet to write full fledged plugin
[21:24] <jenya> sure..i wil
[21:24] <nickrud> Safiyyah: , bahman you are welcome :)
[21:24] <th0r> ganymede I think so.
[21:24] <graft> so, i reconfigured exim4 using dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config; now there's a bunch of stuff sitting in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, but it hasn't updated /etc/exim4/exim4.conf - what gives?
[21:24] <th0r> ganymede I used xubuntu for my server so I am not sure ...but at worst case the desktop just sits there not running <smile>
[21:25] <nickrud> graft: restart exim, but iirc exim reads both and creates it's working config on the fly
[21:25] <rokra> nickrud: yeap, so you confirm me that the 3d is not installed by default on xubuntu?
[21:25] <ganymede> palbuddy: that is normal, only root should be able to access lost+found
[21:25] <elektronik123> witam
[21:25] <Jack_Sparrow> jenya: Not much info on the bcm943 uising google
[21:25] <nickrud> rokra: it's in ubuntu-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) . I'm not sure if it gets installed by default
[21:25] <palbuddy> thanks! ganymede....so uh how do I access it through root (sorry newbie)
[21:25] <reportingsjr> How do I install programs with deb files?
[21:25] <Kris07> A few days ago, I ran the upgrade manager, and since then my scroll has been acting really weird, it lags all the time, and on any program. Does anyone know what it could be?
[21:26] <ganymede> palbuddy: i think that's where files go when your filesystem gets broken, you can make directories alongside lost+found
[21:26] <twavisdegwet> how do i install stuff from source?
[21:26] <DWSR2> hey all. I'm looking to edit the partition table of the computer that I'm currently using. Right now I'm in LiveCD. Does anyone have a guide to using mkfs or fdisk to do this?

[21:32] <smelroy|work> graft, gaim was renamed to pidgin
[21:33] <steveire> I bought a dell vostro 1500 today with an intel 3945abg. Network manager shows networks, but can't connect. What can I do?
[21:33] <x-X-x> how do i close gnome-volume-manager i want to use alsamixer cos gnome has a bug which is affecting my usb soundcard
[21:33] <jenya> i just did common for ndiswrapper and utils...how do i work them now..?
[21:33]  * IndyGunFreak jumps for joy, finally got his sound working again
[21:33] <graft> smelroy|work: ah.. imagine that
[21:33] <elektronik123> astro76 i can`t join there
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !wifi > jenya:
[21:33] <jenya> ?
[21:33] <th0r> frille no it doesn't...none is required. linux handles the file storage differently than windows. What does suck is that windows does need one
[21:33] <x-X-x> ?
[21:33] <graft> what's wrong with it, then? it's one of the best IM clients out there
[21:33] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: just look for wifi?
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> jenya: You need to read...
[21:33] <x-X-x>  how do i close gnome-volume-manager i want to use alsamixer cos gnome has a bug which is affecting my usb soundcard?
[21:33] <DWSR2> graft: I don't like it.
[21:34] <DWSR2> Really, I don't.

[21:34] <jenya> Jack_Sparrow: ok..not too much to read but im trying
[21:34] <DWSR2> I'm not saying I have an alternative, just that I think that it's kinda....well...lame.
[21:34] <x-X-x> how do i close alsamixer?
[21:34] <DWSR2> Although it's a step forward from GAIM >.<
[21:34] <WinShade> ndiswrapper.ko was not installed or downloaded for ndiswrapper 1.43. how do i find/generate this file so i can use "modprobe ndiswrapper"?
[21:34] <graft> DWSR2: can you be more articulate?
[21:34] <x-X-x> gnome-volume manager * i meant
[21:34] <twavisdegwet> i prefer trillian.. but no linux port yet
[21:34] <DWSR2> graft: About what exactly?
[21:34] <graft> DWSR2: about what's wrong with it
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> DWSR2: Please take the conversation to offtopic
[21:34] <th0r> twavisdegwet trillian runs under wind
[21:34] <th0r> (wine)
[21:34] <twavisdegwet> oh really?
[21:35] <twavisdegwet> sweet :D
[21:35] <Kris07> A few days ago, I ran the upgrade manager, and since then my scroll has been acting really weird, it lags all the time, and on any program. Does anyone know what it could be?
[21:35] <ubuntu_> hi, when i try to boot up my computer. it comes up in a terminal style, but instead of it saying what directory its in it says (initramfs) and i cant get the computer to boot up at all. what is this and how can i fix it (im on a live cd now)
[21:35] <twavisdegwet> trillian also converts wine to a smiley that's a bottle of wine..
[21:35] <twavisdegwet> that could get annyoing
[21:35] <DWSR2> graft: The interface is a little bland. I don't like all the flashy flashy that has occured in WLM, etc, but I would like to see SOME colour (then again, I'm only running the default XFCE theme, so maybe that's why?).
[21:35] <white_eagle> ubuntu_ how much ram do you have?
[21:36] <ubuntu_> white_eagle: a gig
[21:36] <DWSR2> ubuntu_: initramfs means that it hasn't been able to mount the harddrive.
[21:36] <graft> DWSR2: try kopete.. gnome stuff is bland
[21:36]  * elektronik123 HELP
[21:36] <ubuntu_> DWSR2: so if i mounted it myself could that fix it?
[21:36] <DWSR2> ubuntu_: possible, although unlikely. The mount probably failed for some reason.
[21:36] <x-X-x> how do i close gnome-volume-manager
[21:36] <x-X-x> ?
[21:36] <Jack_Sparrow> elektronik123:  /j #Ubuntu-ops  and ask in there
[21:37] <ubuntu_> DWSR2: how would i fix it then
[21:37] <DWSR2> Like corrupted MFT or something.
[21:37] <twavisdegwet> are chmod and sudo the same thing?
[21:37] <WinShade> ndiswrapper.ko can't be found even though i installed ndiswrapper 1.43, where can I find it?
[21:37] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[21:37] <broken> If I am using the ati xpress 200M what ati drivers should I be using?
[21:37] <white_eagle> ubuntu_ when you run ubuntu press f2 when it counts down and choose the first option
[21:37] <th0r> x-X-x why would you want to do that? it handles the mounting of usb drives and such
[21:37] <graft> broken: you're pretty much screwed, mate
[21:37] <broken> :/
[21:37] <graft> broken: nothing out there will satisfy you
[21:37] <graft> broken: i've got the same problem
[21:37] <broken> i just want something that will give me dri
[21:37] <ubuntu_> white_eagle: ive tried that
[21:38] <graft> broken: can't do it, as far as i know
[21:38] <white_eagle> ubuntu_ and the same happens?
[21:38] <DWSR2> graft: Can you point me to a good guide for editing my partition table via parted, fdisk, or something?
[21:38] <ubuntu_> white_eagle: yes
[21:38] <broken> that sucks.
[21:38] <x-X-x> th0r im experiencing this bug and its due to gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/155109 and apparently closing gnome volume manager and using alsamixer is the way to go
[21:38] <Dr_willis> My x200m works with the fglrx drivers.
[21:38] <year0369_> moin wie mache ich ein update auf openoffice 2.3.1
[21:38] <Kris07> A few days ago, I ran the upgrade manager, and since then my scroll has been acting really weird, it lags all the time, and on any program. Does anyone know what it could be?
[21:38] <broken> Mine works but DRI isn't working..
[21:38] <Dr_willis> i watch videos with it mainly
[21:38] <white_eagle> ubuntu_, the run the install again
[21:38] <graft> DWSR2: nope... but fdisk is pretty braindead, isn't it?
[21:38] <Dr_willis> dri and ati drivers are often an issue.
[21:38] <xalert> muhhhahahahahahhahaha
[21:38] <ubuntu_> white_eagle: im not comming off a fresh install
[21:38] <th0r> x-X-x  try opening a terminal and typing 'sudo killall gnome-volume-manager'

[21:39] <DWSR2> graft: I know, but I'd rather not leave anything to chance. I guess I'll just read the man pages.
[21:39] <ubuntu_> white_eagle: it just happened when i rebooted today
[21:39] <DWSR2> blackjax: sudo ifup eth1
[21:39] <x-X-x> th0r will i be able to start it back up again later ?
[21:39] <white_eagle> ubuntu_ then I suggest asking in the forums
[21:39] <th0r> x-X-x if that doesn' t work type 'ps ax | grep volume' and then 'sudo kill -9 <process#>
[21:39] <white_eagle> !forum
[21:39] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[21:39] <DWSR2> x-X-x: : Yes.
[21:39] <th0r> x-X-x  it should start again when you log in next time.
[21:39] <graft> DWSR2: are you trying to resize a partition? or just make new ones?
[21:39] <x-X-x> kk
[21:39] <Kernel> hello all. is there a emulator for linux that will do nes/snes/genesis games?. or will i have to use more then one emulator
[21:40] <x-X-x> thnx guys
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Kris07: I must ask.. Did you EVER run automatix or envy? Both bad ideas..
[21:40] <unagi> anyone know how to set gutsy to automatically lock the screen when you close the lid
[21:40] <broken> graft, so nothing will work, not even latest drivers 8.44?
[21:40] <broken> unstable...
[21:40] <graft> broken: the most i've been able to get is 2D acceleration out of those things
[21:40] <twavisdegwet> so are chmod and sudo the same thing?
[21:40] <DWSR2> graft: resize existing to make space for a new one. I'm not worried about data loss (already backed up), but would like to not make the drive unbootable. I have 2 partitions currently.
[21:40] <broken> graft, what do yo mean by 2D acceleration?
[21:40] <stefg> twavisdegwet: no... you might find reading the !cli factoid useful
[21:41] <unagi> twavisdegwet: no chmod allows you to change the access permissions to not need sudo
[21:41] <stefg> !cli | twavisdegwet
[21:41] <graft> broken: just does video and such, doesn't do 3D stuff
[21:41] <ubotu> twavisdegwet: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

[21:41] <unagi> !lock
[21:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:41] <cybergig> oops, forgot I had a session running lol
[21:41] <unagi> omg this is frustrating =(
[21:41] <graft> broken: i'm using 8.42, 8.44 might work, worth a shot
[21:41] <broken> graft, the ati site has their catalyst suite 7.12 for these drivers
[21:41] <broken> I don't know how good those are.
[21:42] <twavisdegwet> so if i write like chmod twavisdegwet+rwx make_file
[21:42] <twavisdegwet> then i get the permisions?
[21:42] <gyaresu> Hello usual suspects.
[21:42] <cybergig> Kernal, there is one out there most likely...
[21:42] <WinShade> ndiswrapper.ko was not installed or downloaded for ndiswrapper 1.43. how do i find/generate this file so i can use "modprobe ndiswrapper"?
[21:43] <twavisdegwet> just use the ndiswrapper included ubutunu.. it actually has a ui and all u have to do is install 3 packages
[21:43] <IndyGunFreak> how do i see a list of available wireless networks?
[21:43] <WinShade> twavisdegwet: how do i get it?
[21:43] <tinin> what's the web page of te flash linux developer, I need to insult him a little bit. Firefox crashes most of the times I see a flash video
[21:43] <th0r> IndyGunFreak  iwlist <interface> --scanning
[21:43] <IndyGunFreak> th0r: thanks
[21:43] <gyaresu> IndyGunFreak: from the command line you can 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan' if eth1 is your card
[21:43] <graft> DWSR2: gparted from a live-cd not warm and fuzzy enough?
[21:44] <WinShade> twavisdegwet: which 3 packages?
[21:44] <stefg> tinin: www.adobe.com :-)
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> graft: live-gparted works when ubuntu livecd with gparted sometimes fails

[21:45] <DWSR2> Oh DUH.
[21:45] <xalert> i realize
[21:45] <unagi> does no one here prefer their screen to lock when they close their laptop?
[21:45] <DWSR2> Forgot that Ubuntu comes with Parted by default.
[21:45] <DWSR2> DUH.
