[12:51] <ndlovu> Dangermike, it's an Intel 945GM - according to Intel it's supported (http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel945gm/sb/CS-021517.htm)
[12:51] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: no, the firmwares are restrited to be REDISTRIBUTED
[12:51] <ndlovu> Dangermike, but not necessarily by the linux driver I suppose
[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, I suggest you bring it up in the #Ubuntu-offtopic room..   this is the first I have heard of it.
[12:51] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it says tha command dplg-reconfigure was not founbd
[12:52] <ere4si> I thought firmware was embedded on the device - drivers are diffwerent
[12:52] <mysterycool> *found
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure
[12:52] <mysterycool> :'(
[12:52] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: this is not offtopic at all, is a thing related directly with ubuntu
[12:52] <mysterycool> i am at root
[12:52] <mysterycool> :S
[12:52] <MasterRat> Dr_Willis: jstest lets you specify the exact /dev/input/js0 (for instance) and reports status on button (on/off) when pressed. It worked once...
[12:52] <mysterycool> is it dpKg??
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, It is NOT related to support and is offtopic in this room
[12:52] <mysterycool> sec
[12:52] <dgjones> foobar, its not a support problem though
[12:53] <foobar> what support ? im not asking for support
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> exactly
[12:53] <foobar> im saying that ubuntu has the acx100 firmwares included in the *modules*restricted* package directly on the ISO
[12:53] <MasterRat> foobar: no change
[12:53] <foobar> and this is NOT legal
[12:53] <Dangermike> your questing legality not asking for support
[12:53] <brandonc503> dgjones thats okay i appreciate it im reading alot too
[12:53] <foobar> because these firmwares not are allowed to be redistributed
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, I understand what you are saying and telling you this is the wrong channel to discuss it
[12:53] <Dangermike> ndlovu, i dont know much about intel cards
[12:54] <foobar> i just want to know HOW ubuntu does that in a legal way... if he does
[12:54] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it now asks for xserver on driver
[12:54] <Dangermike> wtfux
[12:54] <mysterycool> jack
[12:54] <Dangermike> "ITS NOT LEGAL" your a dumbass
[12:54] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: i think that *-offtopic is not the good channel also
[12:54] <ndlovu> Dangermike, no problem
[12:54] <dgjones> brandonc503, if you're still on line in about 5 hours, i'll have a look on my laptop with the geforce2go card and pastebin my xorg so you can see what settings i've got
[12:54] <vallhalla82> what it the best alturnative to cuebase ?
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, Please stop with this discussion
[12:54] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: shall i put vesa or vga? (it has many options)
[12:54] <MasterRat> vallhalla82: allyourbase ?
[12:54] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: ok, where i discuss it then ?
[12:55] <dgjones> !offtopic
[12:55] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:55] <foobar> ok
[12:55] <brandonc503> dgjones i sure will be
[12:55] <vallhalla82> MasterRat:  i will look it up ty
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> File a bug report on the legality?  :)
[12:55] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, vesa
[12:55] <MasterRat> vallhalla82: umm, it was a joke my friend :|
[12:55] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: ty
[12:55] <vallhalla82> ah lol
[12:57] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it asks for ammount of memory to be used for the memory card (in kb)
[12:57] <brandonc503> dgjones what was that gthing gears?
[12:57] <Dangermike> it shows 3d rendering
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, I said earlier... use the tab key and bypass all other user entry except setting max res to 1024
[12:57] <visik7> what's the best player to view full hd divx video under ubuntu ? mplayer xine and gstreamer and vlc all have low frame rate
[12:58] <mysterycool> k thanks :D
[12:58] <Dangermike> brandonc503, man glxgears
[12:58] <dgjones> brandonc503, it just displays a moving 3d graphic
[12:58] <brandonc503> thanks

[12:59] <stevecasper> ive lost all my top toolbars......its just not there? any1 have an idea how i can get it back?
[12:59] <Dangermike> stevecasper, open terminal and type in metacity
[12:59] <brandonc503> said composit extension not available but took setting
[13:00] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, gtk-window-decorator --replace
[13:00] <brandonc503> oh no the settings did not take
[13:00] <Dangermike> brandonc503, run glxgears -info and paste bin your output
[13:00] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: ok finished, now it returned to the black screen with the commands etc...
[13:00] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: what shall i do now?
[13:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, restart

[13:01] <karuna_bdc> hi everyone, i got a question, what are GTK + engines?
[13:02] <MasterRat> the gamepad is now working btw.

[13:02] <brobostigon> good afternoon
[13:02] <killbil> i got problem
[13:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[13:03] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[13:03] <DASPRiD> iter: first 280 gb still running :&/
[13:03] <dgjones> brandonc503, also i think you'll need to do "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" and restart X before desktop effects will run, thats what I needed with my geforce2go
[13:03] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: something fails to load! :S
[13:03] <karuna_bdc> what are GTK+ engines?
[13:03] <doondoon900> gtk+engine is a theme engine for Gnome themes
[13:04] <dgjones> brandonc503, i need to go away from the computer for 30 mins, good luck sorting the problem
[13:04] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it wont load ubuntu successfully! :S

[13:06] <te> does anyone know where I can download YaQuake?
[13:06] <ConstyXIV> if you've never done GUI programming before, and you know python, should you start with Qt, GTK+, or something else?
[13:07] <dda> how to know what parameters can a kernel module accept?
[13:07] <DASPRiD> ConstyXIV, wxPython
[13:07] <simion314> if you have an old version off ubuntu(like 6.06) can you get some applications from 7.10 repositories with apt? it would be nice if you can add the 7.10 repositories somewere and use apt-get install program -use_the_newer_repositories and you can get install that program and it's dependencies
[13:07] <doondoon900> It depends on what you are doing some apps like gimp have it. I didn't have to install it for extra gnome themes to work
[13:07] <te> anyone know where the hell YaQuake went?
[13:07] <karuna_bdc> te: try the repositories?
[13:07] <frank23> te: it's yakuake
[13:07] <ConstyXIV> te: I believe it's yaKuake, and it's in apt-get (sudo apt-get install yakuake)
[13:07] <Jack_Sparrow> simion314, It does not work that way
[13:07] <te> ah-ha!
[13:07] <te> thanks guys
[13:08] <simion314> Jack_Sparrow it would be nice if it had worked, if the program crushed the you have to remove it
[13:08] <karuna_bdc>  te: ah i love yakuake, cool isnt it?
[13:09] <Jack_Sparrow> simion314, Dont expect that to ever work like that
[13:09] <doondoon900> karuna you can always open your shell and type apt-get install GTK+
[13:09] <bazhang> simion314: that is asking for ultimate breakage ;]
[13:09] <doondoon900> * sudo apt-get install GTK+
[13:09] <simion314> Jack_Sparrow why? it just copies some binaries
[13:09] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it says load to fail  microcode something :S
[13:10] <Dangermike> we just had this talk too
[13:10] <stevecasper> gave me error.....nothing happened
[13:10] <Dangermike> !dapper

[13:10] <brandonc503> dgjones what did you suggest i install?
[13:10] <karuna_bdc> doondoon900: ok, cool. Wish the internet would pick up here, 5.5Kbps and they call it broadband
[13:10] <doondoon900> faster fox
[13:10] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, compiz --replace
[13:10] <Dangermike> bleh im not going to explain it im out
[13:10] <bazhang> cya
[13:11] <brandonc503> dgjones cause i have to disable the composite to get gears to work but then desktop things wontwork
[13:11] <simion314> it would be nice not to have to upgrade all your system(it never worked for me to upgrade directly, i had to format and make a clean install)
[13:11] <erawfish_> brandonc503: then use xserver-xgl
[13:11] <Jack_Sparrow> simion314, If it was that simple it would work..  but it isnt.  You can compile from source.. or upgrade your release
[13:11] <stevecasper> must i type that in the terminal?
[13:11] <bazhang> simion314: thus the idea for a seperate /home ;]
[13:12] <bazhang> alt f2 stevecasper
[13:12] <arthur_8200> Damn it... Do I really have to reinstall ubuntu only because my Desktop is /home/arthur instead of /home/arthur/Desktop :(((
[13:12] <erawfish_> simion314: if you are on 6.06LTS, wait another 2 months and then upgrade to hardy
[13:12] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: hello?
[13:12] <Jack_Sparrow> mystery we will need to know what all you have been changing on that system..  something more is obviously wrong in there
[13:12] <doondoon900> brb
[13:12] <erawfish_> arthur_8200: home directory or Desktop?
[13:12] <pi3> arthur_8200: why is your desktop /home/arthur?
[13:12] <erawfish_> if it's desktop, most likely it's a gconf setting
[13:12] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow|_ shall i tell u step by step what im doing?
[13:12] <bashca> ping me
[13:12] <Jack_Sparrow> arthur_8200, Please explain before you reinstall
[13:13] <arthur_8200> My desktop was in .trash/Desktop before.... then I removed this... now it is in /home/arthur
[13:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, no, what all you did prior to this problem
[13:13] <bazhang> bashca ;]
[13:13] <simion314> i tried  8.04 but it do not have all packages that i need
[13:14] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: well i dont remember it step by step :D
[13:14] <erawfish_> simion314: 8.04 is not released yet
[13:14] <brandonc503> erawfish_ i did.. but there where settings i did not understand
[13:14] <arthur_8200> I have already tried changing the value of gconf-editor --> appss --> nautilus --> prefrences --> desktop_is_home
[13:14] <Jack_Sparrow> simion314, and you cant go directly from 606 to 804  you need to go version by version..
[13:14] <simion314> i tried it in beta, it will be nice

[13:15] <arthur_8200> But when I go to places --> desktop... I am in /home/arthur
[13:15] <stevecasper> ok...im not winning with this....compiz is awesome till it breaks everything
[13:15] <brandonc503> erawfish how do i check that?
[13:15] <erawfish_> Jack_Sparrow: he fscked up and deleted Desktop. that's his problem
[13:15] <erawfish_> brandonc503: with glxinfo
[13:16] <simion314> a problem with the firefox in 8.04 is that is the new firefox 3 and some old add ons will not work
[13:16] <LimCore> when ubuntu will support sounds?
[13:16] <LimCore> sound cards
[13:16] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: shall i use again that pbkg command?
[13:16] <pi3> simion314: I guess that's a Firefox issue
[13:16] <omnistegan> in #polyphasers

When I run wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd it doesn't connect, and I get a lot of this: http://pastebin.com/m65dab8ff
[13:23] <apo> And it doesn't connect

[13:23] <mohamed_> anybody there to solve this hdd issue

[13:26] <DOOM_NX> When I was on Windows XP I would use a program called ReverseVNC to create an executable that when run by another Windows PC, I would connect to its desktop. How can I do the same using Ubuntu? My friend uses Windows Vista.
[13:26] <mohamed_> nothing seems to work
[13:26] <deviank> Is it normal for a tovid encoded .mpg file not to run in vlc/mplayer lol or should i try re-encode it?

[13:27] <mohamed_> errors i didnt notice
[13:27] <mysterycool> *Microcode
[13:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, that is your network card and has NOTHING to do with your screen res
[13:27] <IndyGunFreak> mysterycool: ive yet to figure ou t what you're talking about.
[13:27] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, i think wrong nick and i think he tries to do it the other way around
[13:27] <mysterycool> IndyGunFreak: ?
[13:27] <dda> My laptop CPU (turion64) runs on 800MHz-2000MHz (using powernow_k8 module). But suddenly it starts to work only in 800MHz. I tried to reload the module but it did not help. What can be a reason?
[13:27] <mysterycool> IndyGunFreak: whats the prob??? :S
[13:27] <s0u][ight> hello how do i run bittorrent i got it installed
[13:28] <mysterycool> Jack_Sparrow: how can i fix it? :s
[13:28] <IndyGunFreak> mysterycool: you mean other tha you're flooding the channel with your useless 1 lines?
[13:28] <DASPRiD> s0u][ight, just oben a .torrent file
[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hischild, Agreed, I have done that too
[13:28] <mysterycool> IndyGunFreak: ?
[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, Sorry, someone else will need to help you...
[13:28] <pi3> dda: did you insert a floppy?
[13:28] <stevecasper> ok...i disabled my compiz...running no special features...and my toolbars are back, but when i reactivate cool graphics, toolbars go away again...how do i resinstall compiz?
[13:28] <mysterycool> how can i fix the error Microcode "bmc blah blah blah"? :S
[13:28] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, i think i know what he's tryin to do ... he wants to do a reverse vnc connection so the person he's tryin to help doesn't have to forward ports ...
[13:28] <pavlos> hello there
[13:29] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, You may have better luck asking in #Compiz
[13:29] <hischild> stevecasper, i got a fix for that ... a second please
[13:29] <dda> pi3, in laptop? no :)
[13:29] <mohamed_> when i type dmesg it shows error -71
[13:29] <mohamed_> what does this mean
[13:29] <bazhang> soulrider_: go here: www.linuxtracker.org ; download the torrent file, open it with the client and then you are good to go--best to use something like transmission deluge or ktorrent though as the default one is not that hot
[13:29] <dda> 0# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
[13:29] <dda> 800000
[13:29] <pavlos> can someone tell me how can I make a fresh install ubuntu 8.04
[13:29] <Pici> !hardy | pavlos
[13:29] <ubotu> pavlos: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[13:29] <bazhang> oops s0u][ight that was for you above
[13:29] <bazhang> sorry soulrider_
[13:29] <dda> I think it should be 2000000, not 800000
[13:29] <hischild> stevecasper, do you have an ATI or an Nvidia card?
[13:30] <stevecasper> nope....intel graphics
[13:30] <pi3> dda: when reading a floppy the cpu lowers its speed, just a thought
[13:30] <mysterycool> aaargh, hoa can i fix it?
[13:30] <mysterycool> *how
[13:30] <mysterycool> somebody help plz?
[13:30] <hischild> !anyone
[13:30] <ubotu> In place of  "Does anyone/anybody...", please be aware, one persons expert is another persons beginner, please ask your question in full, then see what helps!
[13:30] <DOOM_NX> Is there something equivalent to ReverseVNC in Linux that I can make an executable so that when it's run by a Windows PC I can connect remotely?
[13:31] <mysterycool> weel
[13:31] <hischild> stevecasper, right let me find the link agani
[13:31] <mysterycool> *well
[13:31]  * IndyGunFreak sigh.. can't handle this, i hate using Ignore, but congrats mysterycool you're the first
[13:31] <dda> pi3, thanks for suggestion. no, it is not the case. I'm trying to find what caused that
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  i just ssh to the linux box and run the vncserver.  :) ya could sort of script that i guess..
[13:31] <mysterycool> my pc is messed up, it wont load some Microcode whatever file and the os wont start up
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > mysterycool
[13:32] <stevecasper> i think im the only one using my real name...i feel weird
[13:32] <IndyGunFreak> stevecasper: thats pretty unusual for anything on the internet, not just IRC, i'd never use my real name
[13:32] <DOOM_NX> see Dr_Willis, i have to connect to my friend's PC that uses Windows Vista, and doesn't know how to use uTorrent. So I want to demonstrate him how through VNC. Can I?
[13:32] <mysterycool> !repeat
[13:32] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[13:32] <IndyGunFreak> not my full name anyways
[13:32] <J_P> hi all
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, You are running hardy right?
[13:32] <J_P> People, I would like to change my locale, how I do this ? What is command line ?
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  have him install/run ultravnc on the vista box. and connect to his xp box I guess..
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  err vista box. and show him. :)
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,   vnc over the internet is not a good idea however. its not real secure
[13:34] <DOOM_NX> U mean he has to install UltraVNC and set it up?
[13:34] <stevecasper> hmmm...hardy.....im running gutsy gibbon
[13:34] <lunks> My battery time discharging is currently unknown (quote from tray indicator). How to make Ubuntu know it? Is my notebook not sharing this info? I'm on an HP Pavillion.
[13:34] <bazhang> mysterycool: what microcode? please be precise and calm down a bit; this may take a little while
[13:34] <brandonc503> k now i  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx. and my vid card cannot be detected and runing in low res.. or low something mode
[13:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang, driver for his bcm43xx
[13:35] <DOOM_NX> Dr_Willis, u mean he has to install UltraVNC and set it up? He barely knows how to operate a PC...
[13:36] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: thanks!
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  Guess he has some learning to do then.     You could share your ubuntu desktop, and let him connect to you with a vnc client I guess.
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  or you coudl record some video of your desktop and show him. :)
[13:36] <nickthorley> does anyone here know if the effects for compiz ufsion can be driven by keyboard key presses or are they done through the mouse
[13:36] <hischild> stevecasper, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/89741 <-- sounds like that bug?
[13:37] <DOOM_NX> Dr_Willis, isn't there something that makes an .exe that when he runs it I connect to his desktop?
[13:37] <stevecasper> hischild: thanks...ill go have a look
[13:37] <hischild> stevecasper, doesn't have the solution .. :( ... i'm still searchin for that link
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  no idea.. doubtfull.  sounds like a stand alone vncserver, and vncserver is a bit more complex then that.
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  windows does have some sort of remote desktop feature built in. but ive never used it.
[13:38] <soulburner> had to switch back to gnome
[13:38] <soulburner> kde is a piece of shit
[13:38] <erawfish_> XP Pro does
[13:38] <DOOM_NX> ReverseVNC could do that...
[13:38] <Pici> !language | soulburner
[13:38] <ubotu> soulburner: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[13:38] <DASPRiD> soulburner, it is :D
[13:38] <soulburner> sorry pici
[13:38] <bazhang> language please soulburner
[13:38] <soulburner> my appologies
[13:38] <IndyGunFreak> soulburner: i agree., i don;'t know why so many find it so popular.
[13:39] <soulburner> IndyGunFreak,  my pc isnt too fast but christ, kde will just randomly lag out of nowhere, running firefox is nearly impossible it dimes the resources
[13:39] <stevecasper> hischild: the one guy said. i must hack the file to fix it
[13:39] <hischild> stevecasper, not really hack a file, just create it
[13:39] <IndyGunFreak> soulburner: yup, but KDE fans, say its just as resource heavy as Gnome... not in my experience
[13:39] <brandonc503> when i use restricted drivers manager to enable my vid it seems to unistall nvidia glx.. but i just installed that... advice?
[13:39] <hischild> stevecasper, want me to take you throught that?
[13:39] <soulburner> only reason i was using it was to load some skz theme for desktop addons, was a cool addon but i cant stand using the interface..
[13:39] <simplexio> DOOM_NX: windows has own remote destktop utility, you just need to use tsclient to connect it, or install tightvnc server to windows and use vnc to coonect it
[13:39] <soulburner> IndyGunFreak,  NO WAY!
[13:39] <stevecasper> none of them are my graphics card...should i give it a try though?
[13:40] <soulburner> gnome is much MUCH lighter
[13:40] <IndyGunFreak> soulburner: hang out here long enough, they say it all the time
[13:40] <soulburner> LOL
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  have him instgall reverse vnc then.. Ive never heard of it.
[13:40] <hischild> stevecasper, there are some among them who had an intel gfx card
[13:40] <humbolto> !gnash
[13:40] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[13:40] <soulburner> when my system is idling with a few processes, itll get 2-3% with KDE i was always above 20
[13:40] <simplexio> screen+sbash is lightest gui you can get
[13:41] <humbolto> does anybody know how to activate the gnash mozilla plugin?
[13:41] <simplexio> :)
[13:41] <lunks> My battery time discharging is currently unknown (quote from tray indicator). How to make Ubuntu know it? Is my notebook not sharing this info? I'm on an HP Pavillion.
[13:41] <soulburner> simplexio, we're talkin windows managements though hehehehe
[13:41] <DOOM_NX> Dr_Willis, he doesn't have to install it.... I had to run the servermaker then enter my IP and it would make an .exe. Then he would run the .exe while i'm listening and I would connect.
[13:41] <IndyGunFreak> brandonc503: enable restricted driver, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings  then restart
[13:41] <simplexio> soulburner: screen is "window" management
[13:41] <soulburner> a long time ago when i used redhat i remember this really cool window manager, but can't seem to recall the name
[13:41] <stevecasper> ok im keen...lets hack...sorry create some files....where do i begin?
[13:41] <brobostigon> soulburner: xfce maybe??
[13:42] <DOOM_NX> i would just have to send him the executable and then he would double click it
[13:42] <simplexio> soulburner: i think you can split screen to show two terminal programs :)
[13:42] <soulburner> simplexio, interesting lol
[13:42] <humbolto> how do I replace adobe flash with gnash mozilla plugin in ubuntu?
[13:42] <soulburner> brobostigon,  it could have been, i had it set up nice lots of transparency and it was black
[13:42] <soulburner> was suhweet!
[13:42] <brobostigon> soulburner: could have ben enlightenment then too??
[13:43] <hischild> lunks, how long have you had ubuntu installed?
[13:43] <arthurk> Hi, arthur_8200 is here... I am currently moving my settings from user arthur to arthurk
[13:43] <soulburner> brobostigon,  that sounds very familiar
[13:43] <simplexio> only reasont to use X is to get more terminal views open and browser :)
[13:43] <lunks> hischild, hmm less than a month. Does it learn about it?
[13:43] <arthurk> Is there a quick way to move the folder from one user to the other?
[13:43] <IndyGunFreak> arthurk: uh, copy/paste?
[13:43] <hischild> lunks, yeah ... but with a month ... wait do you have power connected to it?
[13:43] <mysterycool> hello
[13:43] <arthurk> cp /home/arthur/Multimedia /home/arthurk -R does take very long time
[13:44] <lunks> hischild, almost all the time. it's actually less than a month. :P
[13:44] <waylandbill> I have a dsl router that handles dns requests but very slowly. If I manually enter my isp's nameserver before it in /etc/resolv.conf then I get fast requests until rebooting when the resolv.conf is recreated from the dhcp info. Is there a way to prepend a nameserver once the resolv.conf is recreated?
[13:44] <arthurk> mv would be great
[13:44] <tokyoahead> hi guys... I installed ubuntu on a fresh HD and then attached a windows-HD to the system. If I set either of them as primary disc they boot. I installed grub on the linux hd and want to to boot windows w/o setting the windows HD as primary in bios, but it just gives me e blinking _ ... any idea?
[13:44] <Pici> arthurk: Using mv would better than using cp.  You are currently copying that data.
[13:44] <hischild> lunks, well it won't know it's discharge time when you've got the power connected :p only the charge time if it's charging :-)
[13:44] <mysterycool> i changed my graphic's card options to something really big to see what will hapen. then the graphics were reeeaally messed up and then i did something that somebody told me from this chan. now however, ubuntu wont boot up successfully!
[13:44] <arthurk> yeah
[13:44] <arthurk> But how?
[13:45] <arthurk> mv -r ???
[13:45] <lunks> hischild, but it does learn, then =P
[13:45] <nickthorley> is there anything I can alter in ubuntu to increase my battery life - on windows it reported as approx 3 hours but under ubuntu its reporting 2 hours - is this just how it is or can I get that extra capacity out
[13:45] <lunks> it's decharging too fast
[13:45] <hischild> lunks, ubuntu is smart :-)
[13:45] <Pici> arthurk: you don't need to specify -r when using mv
[13:45] <soulburner> i was just checking it out, i think that was it
[13:45] <arthurk> ohj
[13:45] <arthurk> ohj
[13:45] <arthurk> oh
[13:45] <arthurk> thank you :D
[13:45] <hischild> nickthorley, windows was overstating ... unless you're doing more on ubuntu then on windows ... or ubuntu is understating .. (does that for me)
[13:45] <mysterycool> i get the Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode.fw" not available or load faieled
[13:45] <mysterycool> help plz
[13:46] <brobostigon> waylandbill: just add the proper nameserver into resolv.conf, and then change its permission so it can only be read by anyb ody, including root, tht means it will never be changed by anything
[13:46] <khaije> how does the apt applet know when there are updates before i even use the 'update' command? can anyone explain?
[13:46] <chrisime> server irc.freenode.org
[13:46] <erUSUL> mysterycool: install the firmware...
[13:46] <Pici> chrisime: This is freenode.
[13:46] <erUSUL> !broadcom | mysterycool
[13:46] <ubotu> mysterycool: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[13:46] <mysterycool> ?
[13:46] <hischild> khaije, it updates i guess :-)
[13:46] <chrisime> Pici: upsi
[13:46] <waylandbill> brobostigon: the dhcp client won't reset the permissions if needed?
[13:46] <arthurk> @ Pici and now I only have to " sudo chown arthurk:arthurk Multimedia -R " ?
[13:46] <mysterycool> erUSUL: it wont even start up ubuntu!
[13:46] <IndyGunFreak> erUSUL: he is trolling, i would ignore him
[13:46] <brobostigon> waylandbill: it cant change the permissions
[13:47] <nickthorley> hischild: Well I home its under estimating but I will keep trying it and time it to see - could it be possible that it does use more processor power or use the disk more and hence reduce the time
[13:47] <m1r> hi all , i have small problem with evolution email , it says my folders dont synchronize and since last night it doubled all my email. anyone expriance similar problems ?
[13:47] <mysterycool> erUSUL: i am through a lame windows computer
[13:47] <Pici> arthurk: I don't think so, check the permissions first before you do that.
[13:47] <arthurk> I have done mv with sudo
[13:47] <erUSUL> mysterycool: the boot problem can not be becouse of the broadcom driver. You have some other problem
[13:48] <mysterycool> erUSUL: that is what ie printed out
[13:48] <Pici> arthurk: Then yes, you may have to.
[13:48] <brandonc503> k.. enabled in restricted drivers, then apt get nvidia settings.. now what?
[13:48] <arthurk> @ Pici THANK YOU!
[13:48] <Pici> arthurk: It can't hurt anyway.
[13:48] <waylandbill> brobostigon: technically, if the client was run as root it could if the code had support to , but I'll try it out and see. Thanks.
[13:48] <mysterycool> erUSUL: do i have to re install ubuntu?

[13:57] <bazhang> :}
[13:57] <IndyGunFreak> bazhang: i can never get that program to wor on Gutsy
[13:57] <hischild> bazhang, what's that?

[13:58] <bazhang> hischild: does it for you very sweet ;]
[13:58] <Slart> there's another one too..
[13:58] <IndyGunFreak> maybe thast not the one i tried.
[13:58] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: oh so its already in the list - I just have to tick it do i?

[13:59] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, yes, enable all of them while you are in there.. and untick the cd rom.. it gets anoying
[13:59] <waylandbill> brobostigon: that says that root can write to it. looks like the client knows how to modify the permissions to allow itself to update the file.
[13:59] <IndyGunFreak> bazhang: how do you start it once its installed?.. pastebinit in terminal doesn't seem to do it.
[14:00] <deviank> Slart: thanks a bunch, Devede is exactly what i was looking for :D
[14:00] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: pipe your text into it, or use the -i switch to specify a file iirc.
[14:00] <hischild> bazhang, works like a charm on my first try
[14:00] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, Not a problem, glad to help...
[14:00] <brobostigon> waylandbill: well i dont kn ow what else to say, you situation is the same as mine, and can only suggest what i did.
[14:00] <phiqtion> can i install GRUB without linux to launch OSX86 or WINDOWS?
[14:00] <bazhang> IndyGunFreak: you can cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and it gives you the web address-- Pici taught me ;]
[14:00] <IndyGunFreak> Pici: oh so its a CLI program..  the one i tried had a GUI
[14:01] <IndyGunFreak> bazhang: ok
[14:01] <bazhang> hischild: nice!
[14:01] <Slart> deviank: you're welcome.. there's a newer version out on their offical page.. 3.6 .. or use the one from the repo.. whatever makes you happy =)
[14:01] <hischild> bazhang, http://pastebin.ca/927667 ^_^
[14:01] <Zoik1> so.... fsck just deleted everything off my hard drive
[14:01] <Zoik1> whats the chances of me getting it back?
[14:01] <phiqtion> can i install GRUB without linux to launch OSX86 or WINDOWS?
[14:01] <s0u][ight> is perl installed in ubuntu ?

[14:02] <IndyGunFreak> bazhang: i stand corrected, it was web board i tried
[14:02] <hischild> Rgem, pastebin!
[14:02] <Slart> Rgem: don't paste it ghere

[14:02] <Zoik1> Slart: it should have been ext3
[14:03] <Rgem> too late -.-
[14:03] <waylandbill> brobostigon: that's what I did. but the network manager runs as root and probably calls chmod() from the standard lib before writing out the file.
[14:03] <Slart> Zoik1: then you'll need those backups.. that I hope, for your sake, that you have..
[14:03] <brobostigon> waylandbill: ok, was just an idea.
[14:04] <bazhang> hischild: you are iositd? what am I looking for (sorry forgot)
[14:04] <Slart> deviank: yes.. I can't remember how different the version were.. but try the one in the repos first..
[14:04] <Rgem> please read my error, how do I fix it?
[14:04] <Slart> Zoik1: there are some recovery tools for ext2.. nothing for ext3.. I did the same mistake once.. wife had me sleeping on the couch for a week for losing her files =/
[14:05] <Zoik1> Slart: they were my backups :(
[14:05] <Zoik1> it was a raid 5
[14:05] <Zoik1> :'(
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang, That pastebin trick is very cool.. thanks...
[14:05] <Slart> Zoik1: but then you have your original file still?
[14:05] <hischild> bazhang, i was just showin that i did it :p (and yes that's my nick)
[14:05] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: hehe thank Pici ;]
[14:06] <eo> hi
[14:06] <Zoik1> Slart: not really... it was my storage / backup
[14:06] <bazhang> hischild: aha; looks fine ;]
[14:06] <Zoik1> thus the raid 5
[14:06] <Zoik1> i thought ext3 was better then ext2
[14:06] <eo> is it possible to install  just only grub on the main hard drive ?
[14:06] <Slart> Zoik1: ah.. that's bad.. well.. there might be other people out there, wiser than me etc..
[14:06] <hischild> eo, yes ... look for supergrub'
[14:06] <bazhang> Rgem: how about installing the pcre library into the system? what are you trying to achieve?
[14:07] <Slart> Zoik1: no filesystem in the world can save you from a user with permissions doing bad things.. afaik =(
[14:07] <Zoik1> Slart: yeah i know
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, There are other boot managers you might want to try that will work better since you dont want to run linux
[14:07] <Zoik1> the raid buggered up
[14:07] <Zoik1> someone suggested a fsck since it couldnt mess with my data apparently
[14:07] <Zoik1> ug

[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, or give up a couple gig as few as 4 to linux and let the installer do it automatically
[14:09] <bazhang> mike-e: cant play what? what did you change about the reinstall?
[14:09] <sybariten> hischild: ok....

[14:10] <hischild> eo, what language do you speak?
[14:10] <eo> can u plz explain me  normally
[14:10] <sybariten> hischild: but i mean... basicly looking at the tip "/etc/rc.d/init.d/lighttpd stop", its lighttpd i'd want to locate, and in the same time, that would be the binary, which surely isnt placed anywhere near /etc is it......
[14:10] <Slart> Jack_Sparrow: hehe.. never heard it called that before.. but there is some truth in the name =)
[14:10] <sybariten> if you understand my confusion
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, Install ubuntu.... it will install grub and give you access to your other os's
[14:10] <mike-e> bazhang : your question doesn't make sense. I'm trying to play an mpeg

[14:13] <hischild> bella, look at what ubotu replied after me. You see that link? go there
[14:13] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I had a power failure earlier and had to repair the file system with fsck. Now the usual shortcuts (Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music etc) are missing from the Places menu. Also File Browser seems to show the contents of Mozilla Preferences under the Places pane but with each line of the file shown as a folder name. Any ideas please?
[14:13] <Rgem> I install nginx, but where do I find the config file?
[14:14] <sybariten> hischild: as it turns out, locate lighttpd spits out an awful lot of stuff called simply 'lighttpd', but one of them is /etc/init.d/lighttpd and i guess thats the one i want to run
[14:14] <sybariten> confuising though, that they have a lot of stuff named the same thing as the binary, in /usr/sbin
[14:14] <hischild> sybariten, most likely yes
[14:14] <tokyoahead> guys how can I connect a network drive like in windows? I have a NAS that I can connect to via the network in ubuntu, but how do I create a permenent link (mount it?) in my filesystem?
[14:14] <hischild> sybariten, it also looks at the folder and everything in that folder also comes up
[14:15] <Slart> tokyoahead: have you looked at the menu Places, Connect to Server ?
[14:15] <sybariten> hischild: yes, but there were a lot of _files_, as far as i can see, called lighttpd... thats what surprised me
[14:15] <bella> ok and then?
[14:15] <hischild> sybariten, ah that
[14:15] <tokyoahead> Slart: a thanks
[14:15] <hischild> bella, copy the error on there and gives us the link ... avoids spamming the channel
[14:16] <bella> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58366/
[14:16] <bella> like this?
[14:16] <bella> sorry for my ignorance
[14:17] <bella> bit new to all this
[14:17] <hischild> bella, no problem. Can you be a bit more specific about your error so we know what you were doing, what you were trying etc?
[14:17] <sinbox> Hello, if I have turned some rpm into deb via alien and then installed that what would be the easiest/best way for me to uninstall that? is it gonna be in applications add/remove  or in the synaptic manager?
[14:17] <brobostigon> bella: thats ok.
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, alien is a terrible idea and causes all sorts of problems
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !alien > sinbox
[14:18] <sinbox> Jack_Sparrow, well they were drivers for my printer and only available in that format so I didn't really have a choice
[14:18] <bella> just using wvdial to connect it connects but says this ominous message about chap secrets permission denied
[14:19] <bella> so I d like to correct that I have read threads but find them really confusing
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, They are usually available as source.. if they are only available as rpm then there are issues keeping them from having a deb in ther first place
[14:19] <brobostigon> bella: you have searched the forums then??
[14:19] <eo> how to install supergrub ?
[14:19] <bella> yes
[14:20] <dietztho000> do ubuntu have usb port
[14:20] <dietztho000> s
[14:20] <hischild> eo, it's a bootable cd
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, It is a livecd
[14:20] <tokyoahead> Slart: ok I have done that, now I have a Import folder gui here in F-Spot, but that does not show the network drives.. how can I get them there? I only have them on the desktop and on the "places" folder...
[14:20] <bazhang> dietztho000: it is an OS; usb ports come on your computer ;]
[14:20] <dietztho000> lol
[14:20] <eo> i got ubuntu install on my usb hard drive
[14:21] <dietztho000> well theres someone in my channel asking where to plug his iPod in caz he has a ubuntu lol
[14:21] <eo> when i try to boot it display boot error
[14:21] <Slart> tokyoahead: find your desktop in the import folder thingy.. it should be in /home/yourusername/Desktop.. or ~/Desktop
[14:21] <bazhang> dietztho000: okay; the newer iPod?
[14:21] <eo> to fix this problem i want to install supergrub
[14:21] <dietztho000> yes, ipod touch
[14:21] <eo> where to install it ?
[14:21] <hischild> eo, please ... stuff it all on a single line and include as much info as you can .... like what problem, what you're tryin to do, what you did etc .....
[14:21] <dietztho000> ./join #touchmods
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, You dont install supergrub
[14:21] <dietztho000> if u wanna see lol
[14:21] <sinbox> they were only available as rpm from the manufacturer's site unfortunately and I had searched quite a while before finding them, they are not causing any problems but are just plain not working so I wanted to take them off the system Jack_Sparrow , any suggestion on the best way to do that?
[14:21] <tokyoahead> Slart: this import thing only shows image files, no links
[14:22] <hischild> eo, and supergrub is a livecd, you burn it on a disc and then boot from it.
[14:22] <Slart> dietztho000: ubuntu is an operating system.. not a piece of hardware.. it supports usb though
[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, nope
[14:22] <tokyoahead> Slart: and it shows folders..
[14:22] <myIRC> does anyone know what algos irssi is useing in order to colorize the nicks?
[14:22] <sinbox> ok nvm thanks all the same Jack_Sparrow
[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[14:22] <bazhang> dietztho000: a couple of options, neither of them fun--you can compile libgpod 0.6.0 for it or use some libs from another version--the latter is quite risky though
[14:22] <eo> ok
[14:22] <dietztho000> hmmm
[14:22] <Slart> tokyoahead: hmm.. hang on.. let me give it a try here... I've actually never used that menu thingy myself
[14:23] <eo> so what is the solution ,
[14:23] <tokyoahead> Slart: ok thanks
[14:23] <eo> ???
[14:23] <bazhang> dietztho000: the next version will have libgpod support natively though--so if he can suffer for a few weeks..
[14:23] <tokyoahead> Slart: can I mount soemthign like that anyhow?
[14:23] <mike-e> why did they get rid of the w32codec package?
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, Make room on your internal hard drive and install ubuntu there.
[14:23] <Slart> tokyoahead: what is it? a samba share? ftp server?
[14:24] <tokyoahead> Slart: samba share
[14:24] <eo> i have already install ubuntu
[14:24] <bella> brobostigon, ? someone says on a foerum one should be the "owner" of the secrets file what does that mean?
[14:24] <Slart> tokyoahead: yes you can.. smbmount is one way.. or you can edit your fstab
[14:24] <eo> on the external hard drive
[14:24] <lunks> my touchpad scroll is not working... it used to work, but looks like something happened.
[14:24] <tokyoahead> Slart: ok I will try thanks
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, Sorry I cant help you...
[14:25] <brobostigon> bella: that means you need to have RW permissons to it,
[14:25] <dietztho000> ok how can i get a iTunes on ubuntu?
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, obviously you did not install it correctly on the external hard drive or it would have worked, I have offered you the soultion which you ignore.
[14:25] <brobostigon> dietztho000: wine
[14:26] <dietztho000> wine?
[14:26] <bella> but its my computer what rw permission?
[14:26] <EnginA> guys do you know a safe disk deleter ?
[14:26] <brobostigon> bella: you need read write permission to that file
[14:26] <bernhard_> #co-s
[14:26] <bella> ok how do I do that
[14:26] <EnginA> prefereble a static binary that can safely wipe a hard drive

[14:33] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I had a power failure earlier and had to repair the file system with fsck. Now the usual shortcuts (Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music etc) are missing from the Places menu. Also File Browser seems to show the contents of Mozilla Preferences under the Places pane but with each line of the file shown as a folder name. Any ideas please?
[14:34] <brandonc503> i like how windows look all rubbery when you move them
[14:35] <bella> says you are not the owner
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> JonathanEllis, Did you run fsck from a livecd?  Was the hard drive mounted or unmounted when you ran it...   etc
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Brandon_, Did you install ccsm yet?
[14:35] <vignesh> i have a lan network enabled through cables. my friend's computer has direct internet connection. i have configured the proxy settings.. now the browser says "The proxy server is refusing the connection"... can anyone help??
[14:36] <erUSUL> vignesh: does you friend have a proxy server running?
[14:36] <zossso> vignesh: You  are running a proxy server on your friends computer right?
[14:36] <JonathanEllis> Jack_Sparrow: Yes I ran fsck from a livecd
[14:36] <vignesh> erUSUL, no i dont know.. how to make him enable it??
[14:37] <bella> how do I change wr permission of chap-secret file

[14:37] <vignesh> erUSUL, ubuntu
[14:37] <erUSUL> vignesh: your frind's
[14:37] <vignesh> erUSUL, same
[14:37] <andrer> anyone know a good cpu benchmark for linux ?
[14:37] <erUSUL> vignesh: then is better to use firestarter (for example) to share the conection
[14:38] <vignesh> erUSUL, whatz firestarter??
[14:38] <erUSUL> vignesh: then in the net configuration of your ubuntu you have to put your friend's computer ip as your gateaway
[14:38] <soulburner> vignesh, its a firewall with gui, pretty nice
[14:38] <erUSUL> !firestarter | vignesh
[14:38] <ubotu> vignesh: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[14:38] <soulburner> sudo apt-get install firestarter
[14:39] <soulburner> itll be available through administration > firestarter
[14:39] <vignesh> i have installed firestarter.. how do i user it..
[14:39] <soulburner> i used it to share connection with my 360
[14:39] <bruno> Olá pessoal
[14:39] <bruno> alguem ai daqui da Bahia?
[14:39] <dgjones> !br | bruno
[14:39] <ubotu> bruno: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[14:39] <zossso> vignesh: google `"internet connection sharing" ubuntu` or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 might give you a start
[14:39] <bruno> blz, tem o canal ai pra eu add?
[14:40] <soulburner> vignesh, when you first start firestarter it walks you through the setup
[14:40] <soulburner> pretty self explaintory
[14:40] <soulburner> you can't go wrong unless you don't read it
[14:41] <sinbox> ok, I've now found a new rpm package with new drivers for my printers, it's an "src.rpm" which apparently means it contains the source in there, anyone know what I must use to open it extract the source from there so I can then do a make install of the source?
[14:41] <vignesh> yeah.. i got it..
[14:41] <zossso> soulburner: thx.  firestarter looks like a nice little application
[14:41] <vignesh> thanks a lot..
[14:41] <erUSUL> vignesh: the configuration of firestarter must be on your friends computer
[14:41] <soulburner> zossso,  it is
[14:41] <erUSUL> vignesh: you do not need it
[14:42] <soulburner> simplifys iptables if you're a noob like me
[14:42] <soulburner> :)
[14:42] <zossso> sinbox: which printer are you installing
[14:43] <humbolto> where do I put my own font collection, so I can use it?

[14:44] <sinbox> zossso,   Canon Pixma MP160: works fine over the network via cups when connected to an XP machine but steadfastly refuses to work when via USB to this box despite following all the instructions I found in the ubuntu forum and linuxprinting and openprint
[14:44] <wwalker> I need to have the X session be a child of gpg-agent.  ubuntu already does this with ssh-agent.  anyone know where to change this in ubuntu?
[14:44] <humbolto> friedtofu: and will the be available right away? even in wine?
[14:44] <friedtofu> i think you have to recache it, but after that it'll be available
[14:44] <zossso> sinbox: I had a pixima at one time.  let me think a while

[14:46] <Isaiah> I checked the message board, but couldn't really find any information about setting it up
[14:46] <zossso> sinbox: do you have alien installed?
[14:46] <sinbox> I do zossso even if just been told it's not recommended
[14:47] <juri1988> ciao
[14:47] <zossso> sinbox: ah.. I had problems installing this printer too.  think i ended up using turboprint or something.  *thinking*
[14:49] <zossso> sinbox: you've looked at this forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=364749
[14:50] <sinbox> I'm burneverything on the forum and in that thread zossso  :)
[14:50] <humbolto> can my fonts in ~/.fonts/ be organized in folders or do they need to be at the base of this dir?
[14:50] <eo> hi
[14:50] <eo> what is unionfs ?
[14:51] <zossso> sinbox: this one seems alright.  sounds similar to what I did: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-Pixma_MP160
[14:51] <zossso> sinbox: even has a guide for Ubuntu 7.10
[14:52] <Vadi> When I add a new repository, it indexes -all- programs in that repository. What if I only want only _one_ program from that repository, and not the rest? How can I make it stop bugging me about updates?
[14:52] <Bracki> How can I replace an existing Linux with the latest Ubuntu version?
[14:52] <zossso> sinbox: pretty sure you will need alien regardless
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?25,1420,page=2     They suggest turboprint

[14:53] <dt-in-th> Hello. I need help recovering my /boot partition. Can anyone help me?
[14:53] <erUSUL> Bracki: use the partitions currently used by the other distro and overwritte it
[14:53] <dgjones> Bracki, is that an existing ubuntu install?
[14:53] <Bracki> dgjones: no
[14:53] <Bracki> dgjones: opensuse 10.1. I'd prefer a script that just bootstraps itself and replaces everything....
[14:53] <zossso> sinbox: In my experience, it was the most difficult printer to get working with linux (without closed-source turboprint).
[14:53] <dgjones> !install | Bracki
[14:53] <ubotu> Bracki: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[14:54] <Slart> Bracki: I would suggest a reinstall.. it might (in the same meaning that you might win the lottery) work.. but I doubt it
[14:54] <dt-in-th> I installed /boot on a primary partition, / and /usr on another partition. I accidently removed /boot. What should I do?
[14:55] <sinbox> zossso, I had read that one too :) will try that as well  Jack_Sparrow I think that the free version of turboprint puts a watermark of their company logo on prints though which isn't exactly ideal, thanks both of you, if all that fail I will try the newer canon file I found on the european website yesterday
[14:55] <sinbox> or I'll just use it over the network
[14:55] <zossso> sinbox, Jack_Sparrow:  it does put a watermark on it
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, DOnt select your os based on a printer or other hardware...
[14:56] <zossso> sinbox: the method on that last post I gave you should work.  But if I remember, many setting (b/w only, etc.) don't work easily
[14:56] <sinbox> I don't Jack_Sparrow , I just got that printer before my windows box died a physical death and decided to go linux on an old one I had hanging around here but I still have an XP laptop connected for other purposes
[14:57] <Mortuis> I haven't built a computer in awhile, and am currently considering graphics cards.  Is there a particular manufacturer of graphics cards that are known for linux compatability?

[14:57] <st_iron> hello, I have Intel HDA sound chip with compiled ALSA, everything seems fine but I don't have sound
[14:58] <ender> does anyone know an easy way to mount an smb file share
[14:58] <dgjones> !hcl | Mortuis, Nvidia is normally considered fairly good, you could also look at the compatibility lists for specific cards
[14:58] <st_iron> there are not error or warning message in the logs
[14:58] <ubotu> Mortuis, Nvidia is normally considered fairly good, you could also look at the compatibility lists for specific cards: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, did you compile ver 15 or 16
[14:58] <Slart> Mortuis: I'd go with nvidia or intel.. avoid ati for now..
[14:58] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: 16
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, use 15.. 16 does not like our mixer
[14:58] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: 15 did not work too
[14:59] <st_iron> I got the same error
[14:59] <ender> does anyone know an easy way to mount an smb file share
[14:59] <itai-michaelson> i want the output of lsmod tobe saved in a file - how do i do that?
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, 15 will work.. see more specific help in #Alsa....

[15:00] <whatisyourname> that's crazy! so many people here
[15:00] <Isaiah> How can I fix that?
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Isaiah, Did you make any changes to your sources list
[15:00] <Isaiah> Jack_Sparrow, no I didn't
[15:00] <ender> how do I mount a network share as an actual drive
[15:01] <zossso> Isaiah: might try System->Administration->Syanaptic Package Maanger
[15:01] <Isaiah> ok
[15:01] <soulburner> what do i need to type to list available hardware in /dev/*
[15:01] <zossso> What a great community here on #ubuntu!
[15:01] <bella_>  I need to change  rw permission how do I do it
[15:02] <ender> how do I mount a network share as an actual drive
[15:02] <soulburner> bella,  i'd assume chmod but not sure, wait till someone with more experience answers
[15:02] <zossso> soulburner: `ls -l /dev/`?
[15:02] <soulburner> zossso,  perhaps that is it
[15:03] <dt-in-th> My /boot and / has gone. Left only /usr /etc /data and /www. What should I do?
[15:04] <zossso> ender: well, that is kind of tricky.  basically linux mounts drives as folders, so yo just specify what folder to mount to.
[15:04] <zossso> ender: If you want a nice link to it on your desktop, that is pretty easy
[15:04] <ComputerGuru> So I'm giving a course on Linus for beginners and I'll be using Ubuntu - but I have a real tough question
[15:04] <sinbox> next question: I want to build a server on a P2 233Mhz (so no need for fans) can I use 7.10 or shall I go for 6.06LTS to make it easier for the CPU and small amount of ram to use?
[15:04] <ComputerGuru> what's the best way to teach when I have the only non-Windows machine in the lab?
[15:04] <danand> ender - what type of network share do you want to mount?
[15:04] <ender> zossso I just need a link that programs can "see"
[15:04] <ender> smb
[15:05] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: Get the other machines (or have the students bring theirs) and boot up a LiveCD!
[15:05] <Slart> ComputerGuru: well.. you could teach them to install ubuntu on their machines.. learning to use linux without actually getting to use it would be hard
[15:05] <komputes> anyone have any tips on why I can't install directly onto sata - no drive detected?
[15:06] <zossso> In places->network right click on the share, Connect to server.. Name whatever you want
[15:06] <Slart> ComputerGuru: but Odd-rationale seems to have got his coffee today .. I haven't.. the live cd is a much better option
[15:06] <Odd-rationale> Slart: :)
[15:06] <hischild> can you edit the kernel options on lilo?
[15:06] <ComputerGuru> i'm teaching them to install linux on their own machines (that's what EasyBCD is for :)), but the maority will be using the school machines...
[15:06] <bella_> can anyone teach me how to change rw permission of files?
[15:06] <ender> zossso will amarok see it?
[15:06] <ComputerGuru> I'd be needing like 60 live CDs......
[15:06] <itai-michaelson> how do i channel the output of a command into a file?
[15:06] <Slart> bella_: chmod is what you need.. man chmod for info
[15:07] <ComputerGuru> wonder how fast I can burn those <loL>
[15:07] <ComputerGuru> itai-michaelson: use the ">" character
[15:07] <ender> zossso or anything else for that matter other than just viewing
[15:07] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: You can just show then the installation, it is pretty strightforward. Maybe a handout with screenshots for them to keep would be nice.
[15:07] <Slart> itai-michaelson: use a > at the end.. ls -l > yourfile.txt
[15:07] <zossso> ender: a better solution... the `smbmount` command
[15:07] <itai-michaelson> Slart, ComputerGuru thanx
[15:08] <danand> ender - you can use the smbmount command to mount that - smbmount is part of the utils provided by the smbfs package - might need to sudo apt-get install smbfs. syntax is - smbmount //server/share /mountpoint     options can be used at the end behind the -o flage ie smbmount //server/share /mountpoint -o username=user   etc
[15:08] <ender> zossso: didn't know about that one, will try  do I just say smbmount //server/share ?
[15:08] <ender> danand : thanks! will try now
[15:08] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: installation isn't the problem - it's a semester long course as a part of our countr's open source group/linux users group (i'm a founding member)....... but the linux install fest isn't until the end of the month. until then we're forbidden from changing the OSes
[15:09] <zossso> ender: I think `smbmount //server/share <mountpoint>`
[15:09] <ComputerGuru> so i have 4 weeks*2 classes/week with nothing more than ppt slides and a projector running Ubuntu - i think i like the live cd idea best :)
[15:09] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: Your school is switching to f/oss?
[15:09] <zossso> ender: if you need a username/pw, there are some extra options you will need to specify
[15:10] <zossso> ender: might need to `apt-get install smbfs`
[15:10] <xander> hi is there any software for converting the mp3 songs to any other format in ubuntu??
[15:10] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: kinda. i'm pushing it real hard, and got some teachers to agree to set linux as the default OS for the two biggest labs
[15:10] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: Wow! congrat!!
[15:10] <erUSUL> !info soundconverter | xander

[15:10] <webulator70> y'ello
[15:10] <zossso> ComputerGuru: unfortunate that you can't give a live demonstration
[15:11] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: only problem is with educational software..... SynaptiCAD, Easy68k, Matlab, etc ar made for Windows :(
[15:11] <xander> whats the name of the package??
[15:11] <danand> xander - the package mp32ogg can convert mp3's to ogg-vorbis files :)
[15:11] <ComputerGuru> zossso: no, i have my laptop w/ ubuntu for the projecotor, so the presentation will be live
[15:11] <zossso> ender: np. `smbumount <mountpoint>`
[15:11] <ender> perfect
[15:11] <zossso> ender: nice.

[15:12] <zossso> ComputerGuru: excellent!
[15:12] <webulator70> I have an hp a6040n, i cant load the live cd up, does any one know any command line switches that could help?
[15:12] <danand> ender - np :)
[15:12] <webulator70> its a shaem really, never had these kind of things happen on my own machines but this hp was so cheap for me to get
[15:12] <webulator70> *shame
[15:12] <zossso> ComputerGuru: mathmatica is for linux i think
[15:13] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: exactly. :-( and while OS alternatives exist, realistically the students won't be using them when they graduate. Jordan is a very Microsoft-centric environment
[15:13] <Slart> bella_: hmm.. are we talking about just one file here? if so you can just right click on it and select properties..

[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ComputerGuru, I have a whole list of different options if you want them.. generic-ide etc..
[15:19] <zossso> ender: look into xvncviewer
[15:19] <ComputerGuru> Jack_Sparrow: i think you can view them by hitting F* at the boot prompt, right?
[15:19] <erUSUL> nuno:  can you run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' on a terminal and the plug the hdd?? paste the new lines that appear on paste.ubuntu-nl.org

[15:21] <Adylass> Hello, There is a user that is playing with me and he editing the sudoers file of a server so he could do "sudo su -". How I can block him to edit the sudoers file ? Thanks !
[15:21] <xander> how do i resolve it??
[15:21] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: i placed an order for 100 CDs yesterday, any idea how long it usually takes to get a reply?
[15:21] <zossso> ender: *wishes I could just spend helping linux users*
[15:22] <hischild> how can i manually unmount swap?
[15:22] <mavi-> Adylass: remove him from sudoers
[15:22] <mavi-> then he cant get root and thus cant edit sudoers
[15:22] <ndlovu> can anyone tell me what fglxr is? Is it only for ATI video cards or does it work for Intel also?
[15:22] <mavi-> also, change the root-pass to something he doesnt know
[15:22] <Adylass> mavi-: Yeah, I know, but its more about a game then hes not respecting rules.
[15:23] <webulator70> ComputerGuru: nope, no luck, funny i remember no-something options working on my freinds dell but this seems different, x tries to load allot of times and fails, and it tells me it failed about 6 times and i should try again later but that obviously doesnt do anything, i know my parts are fine and its an intel 945 chipset with radeon x1600 btw
[15:23] <nuno> yes  i see ....MARK
[15:24] <cnStarz> Does anyone here know how to fix overscan on an nvidia card?
[15:24] <mavi-> Adylass: as long as he has root-access he can change sudoers file
[15:24] <danand> Adylass - check the permissions and ownership of the sudoers file
[15:25] <Adylass> mavi-: There is no way to filter by regex sudo ?
[15:25] <mavi-> Adylass: filter out users?
[15:25] <mavi-> Adylass: or what do you mean?
[15:25] <dgjones> webulator70, have you tried just using the alternate install cd? I have a toshiba laptop which won't do anything with the livecd, just crashes out after a while no matter what boot options I've tried, using the alternate cd I was able to install and configure the ATI graphics that seemed to be the problem
[15:25] <nuno> hello
[15:26] <xander> JACK_SPPAROW : i use a gutsy..
[15:26] <webulator70> dgjones: no, but i guess ill give it a shot
[15:26] <lilyth> what should the ownership of Virtual Machine files be?
[15:26] <Adylass> mavi-: Ya, I just want em to be forced to use sodo command. Not do "sudo su -" or sudo bash
[15:26] <stevecasper> hischild: i found the problem i had with the windows toolbar......i had installed emerald with compiz...causing some problem, removed emerald, resetup my compiz..and its all fixed.....
[15:27] <stevecasper> thanks for ur help though....and any1 who has ever helped me..
[15:27] <hischild> stevecasper, ok :-)
[15:27] <dgjones> webulator70, the one thing i didn't try was using the vesa boot option with the livecd, which is what i had to change to after i'd installed using the alternate cd, maybe thats worth trying before you try the alternate
[15:27] <mavi-> Adylass: just tell them about sudo -s?
[15:27] <mavi-> Adylass: remove su binary
[15:27] <mavi-> =)
[15:28] <webulator70> dgjones: i did try that, unfortunatly :(
[15:28] <lilyth> thatll do it
[15:28] <mavi-> Adylass: educate your users or remove root-access for them if you dont want that behaviour
[15:28] <mavi-> Adylass: they still can revert whatever regexps you do if they are root
[15:28] <dgjones> webulator70, right, thats that idea out of the window then
[15:29] <webulator70> dgjones: i googled it like mad but i dont think many people tried ubuntu on this machine
[15:30] <sudobash> Ubuntu is the shiznit
[15:30] <webulator70> so is this server im getting it from, its staying clear over a meg no prob
[15:30] <dgjones> webulator70, out of interest, what hp machine was it?
[15:30] <sudobash> and i say that because I am on a very slow PC right this second and I feel right at home after I tweak it out to its max
[15:31] <webulator70> dgjones: this ones an hp a6040n, usually i build my own and have no prob with linux but i had to get this, some one was selling it so cheap
[15:32] <ComputerGuru> best IRC client for Ubuntu? Windows?
[15:32] <webulator70> ComputerGuru: opera imo
[15:33] <sudobash> xchat/Bitchx Mirc for w32
[15:33] <webulator70> xircon was pretty decent on win
[15:33] <sudobash> opera isnt that good i dont think... everyone thinks it is lightweight but it uses more ram than firefox
[15:34] <webulator70> sudobash: negatory :)
[15:34] <sudobash> opera uses 45+ MB firefox most of the time 20-30 mb
[15:34] <LjL> !best > ComputerGuru    (ComputerGuru, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:34] <webulator70> firefox was always slugish scrolling webpages for me on any sys
[15:34] <webulator70> ffox 3 seems to finally fix that though
[15:34] <webulator70> opera is still the smoothest seeming
[15:35] <ComputerGuru> LjL: didn't know anout the poll rule., my apologies
[15:35] <sudobash> negative i am using a 500 mhz celeron with 256 mb and firefox seems to be running much better than opera
[15:35] <sudobash> not my pc but my gf
[15:35] <sudobash> even on live cd firefox is better
[15:35] <LjL> !ot
[15:35] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:36] <sudobash> konq is faster than all of them i think
[15:36] <webulator70> sudobash: i was talking about using it on windows though
[15:36] <webulator70> sudobash: on linux i just leave ffox on
[15:36] <sudobash> oh i see yes opera is better on windows probably
[15:36] <LjL> -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:36] <sudobash> but this is #ubuntu
[15:37] <LjL> yes, indeed, it's a channel where you answer Ubuntu support questions, not where you talk about which browser is best (especially which is best on Windows :)
[15:37] <webulator70> lol
[15:38] <webulator70> almost done, man i hope this works, i havent used ubuntu for a like 3 months now
[15:38] <sudobash> so whats up with this... hoax? http://www.bbspot.com/News/2001/06/gates.html
[15:38] <Slart> sudobash: it's bbspot.. nuf said =)
[15:38] <sudobash> lol
[15:39] <Ir1> Is tjis the place i can ask help if faq does not help?
[15:39] <Slart> sudobash: http://www.bbspot.com/Legal/about.html   but this it !ot =)
[15:39] <webulator70> Ir1: yes
[15:39] <Slart> Ir1: yes
[15:40] <Ir1> i just installed ubuntu to my computyer first time and i need some instal help
[15:40] <sudobash> this is more like it... http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2003-06-29-gates-linux_x.htm
[15:40] <Slart> Ir1: you've come to the right place.. what is the problem?
[15:40] <hackeron> hey, quick question - I have an amplified microphone plugged into line-in on the back of the PC - how do I get ekiga to use it? - It seems to only want to use microphones plugged into mic-in
[15:40] <sudobash> Bill Gates:  The idea is that we're in a competitive situation, that we're willing to provide a better price.
[15:40] <Ir1> this does not let me install any mozilla bluins
[15:40] <sudobash> better price than free?
[15:40] <LjL> sudobash, i realize there's (amazingly) little traffic right now, but please bring offtopic to #ubuntu-offtopic anyway
[15:40] <dgjones> !ot | sudobash
[15:40] <ubotu> sudobash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:41] <Slart> Ir1: mozilla bluins? what is that?
[15:41] <sudobash> wow and people talk about windows apps and shit... I help people as much as I can here but Im sick of the constant nazi regime act
[15:42] <Ir1> sorry my bad english.. plugin
[15:42] <LjL> hackeron: i don't have Ekiga, but isn't it just a matter of enabling line-in recording in the GNOME mixer?
[15:42] <Slart> Ir1: ok.. you've got some mozilla plugin that doesn't work... which plugin is it?
[15:42] <Ir1> adblock
[15:42] <hischild> so yet another one of my lovely probz ...
[15:43] <Slart> Ir1: are you really using mozilla? not firefox?
[15:43] <hischild> why does my cpu only show up as a single core while i do have a dual core athlon 3800+?
[15:43] <erawfish_> hischild: uname -a
[15:43] <hackeron> LjL: I see a mic selection - I can choose mic1 or mic2, that's it :( - I can change the volume but that's output volume, not input volume
[15:43] <Ir1> mozilla firefox
[15:43] <hischild> erawfish_, what part do you need?
[15:43] <LjL> hackeron: is that in the mixer, or in Ekiga?
[15:43] <erawfish_> ALL of it
[15:44] <Slart> hischild: oh.. come on.. you can give us something more to work with.. how does it "show up as single core".. what tool are you using?
[15:44] <hackeron> LjL: mixer- there's nothing in ekiga
[15:44] <Slart> Ir1: ok.. and how do you try to install adblock?
[15:44] <hackeron> LjL: it just allows me to pick my soundcard
[15:44] <hischild> Slart, yeah ... if i knew what to give ... sec while i ssh to it so i can jst copy it
[15:44] <ZZT32> Is there a good way of sharing files over a network with tighter permissions?
[15:44] <mavi-> ZZT32: use ssh
[15:44] <Ulfalizer> does gusty gibon come with gcc-4 per default?
[15:45] <LjL> hackeron, i'm on KDE so can't really relate to the GNOME mixer, but i think there have to be recording selections. can you pastebin the output of « amixer » ?
[15:45] <erUSUL> Ulfalizer: yes
[15:45] <hischild> erawfish_, Linux hc 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[15:45] <Slart> ZZT32: tighter permissions? samba can be pretty tight.. or a ftp-server..
[15:45] <Ulfalizer> okay, thanks
[15:45] <ZZT32> mavi-, isn't that slower, though? Seeing as it's encrypted and all. Not ideal for old machines (I've a PII w/ 128MB of RAM)
[15:45] <hackeron> LjL: I tried various mixers :)
[15:45] <Ir1> i tryed to install adblock from aplications -> ad/remove -> internet -> adblock
[15:45] <hischild> Slart, under system monitor it shows up as a single one
[15:45] <Slart> Ir1: and what happened?
[15:45] <guevo> epale
[15:45] <erawfish_> hischild: should do fine with SMP. is there really only processor 0 in /proc/cpuinfo?
[15:45] <hackeron> LjL: not amixer though - what can I do with amixer?
[15:45] <mavi-> ZZT32: yea sure, if you hunt bits and milliseconds
[15:46] <hischild> erawfish_, yeah, only 1 shows up
[15:46] <hischild> want me to pastebin it
[15:46] <LjL> hackeron, the same things you can do with any other mixer. but aside from KMix, it's the only one i can give you instructions about (and the only one giving complete output to pastebin)
[15:46] <pitris> Hi guys, where can I set ubuntu not to boot to X but only to text mode?
[15:46] <ZZT32> Slart, does samba ignore preset permissions on shared files and only rely on its configuration?
[15:46] <Slart> hischild: hmm... my two cores show up there..that's odd
[15:46] <mavi-> ZZT32: nope
[15:46] <mavi-> ZZT32: samba uses noth
[15:46] <mavi-> both*
[15:47] <hischild> Slart, it used to show up before on the previous installs
[15:47] <hackeron> LjL: hmm, wait mixer says capture: off -- how do I turn it on, lo
[15:47] <hackeron> LjL: amixer*
[15:47] <Slart> ZZT32: I think you can configure it to do whichever you want
[15:47] <LjL> hackeron, can you please just pastebin the entire output first?
[15:47] <Ir1> "list of aplications is not available. click on reload to load it. to reload you need working internet connection"
[15:47] <erawfish_> hischild: the uname -a clearly says "SMP" and we know it's a SMP kernel.
[15:47] <Slart> Ir1: ah.. is your computer connected to internet?
[15:47] <erawfish_> hischild: what is the model name line of cpuinfo?
[15:47] <lilyth> anyone have any idea what the default file ownership for Virtual Machines is?
[15:47] <ZZT32> mavi-, hm... I have a large HD sectioned off for different users so they can't access it locally.

[15:48] <ZZT32> Slart, in the docs I assume? :p
[15:48] <silvana> es en ingles esto no?
[15:48] <hackeron> LjL: I'm using a 10" touchscreen with no right click, lol - but it says for linein that capture: off

[15:48] <lilyth> webulator70  I have som VMs that are owned by a user that is gone
[15:48] <Ir1> how do you think that i can come to irc if i dont have working internet connection on this computer? :D
[15:48] <erUSUL> pitris: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[15:49] <webulator70> lilyth: oh, hmm i wouldnt know that wait for someone else to answer i guess
[15:49] <hackeron> LjL: let me see if I can do anything with the help of the man page, one sec
[15:49] <Slart> ZZT32: indeed =).. I think you can set permissions for who gets to connect to a share.. and you can set it so all file system operations are run as root meaning you can access all files regardless of permissions on your linux system (I'm not sure if this is a wise thing to do though)
[15:50] <Slart> hischild: how did you produce that info?
[15:50] <ZZT32> Slart, sounds like what I want. Not going to share an entire volume or anything :p Just subfolders.
[15:50] <hackeron> LjL: oh beautiful! - I had to press space in alsamixer - itworks now!
[15:50] <hackeron> LjL: thanks!
[15:50] <hischild> Slart, what do you mean? i did cat /proc/cpuinfo | pastebinit -b http://pastebin.com
[15:50] <grmbl> hi
[15:50] <Slart> hischild: I have an AMD x2 64bit too..  I can paste my info for comparison
[15:51] <hischild> Slart, please do ... at least some comparison then :-)
[15:51] <lilyth> how about vmrun? anyone familiar with that?
[15:51] <Slart> hischild: here's mine
[15:51] <Slart> http://pastebin.com/f49673765
[15:51] <Ir1> so.. what should i do
[15:51] <hackeron> LjL: wonder how the echo cancellaton is on line-in -- got a terrible echo in the test, lets make a call :)
[15:52] <LjL> hackeron: uhm, i don't think echo cancellation is a soundcard thing, but rather a software thing done within Ekiga
[15:52] <LjL> hackeron: of course you should have playback for line-in *disabled* in the mixer
[15:52] <pdroy> Anybody here sync their WM5 phone with Ubuntu ?
[15:52] <armedking> Hey all i'm on a live cd resqueing my Disk. i'm at fixing the fstab now. i got the disk uuid by rinning /sbin/vol_id -u /dev/hdb1 now can i use that generated uuid to set the disk up in my fstab or is there another process involved?
[15:53] <Slart> Ir1: ah.. sorry.. didn't see your reply there.. please put my nick in the front of the line so it lights up here at my end..
[15:53] <Slart> Ir1: and run this in a terminal "sudo apt-get update"

[15:54] <hischild> hmm :(
[15:54] <rhineheart_m> anybody has an idea on this? Fatal error: Call to undefined function getEditorContents() in /var/www/joomla/administrator/components/com_content/admin.content.html.php on line 546?

[15:54] <hischild> rhineheart_m, not caused by ubuntu ... look at the error ...
[15:55] <zossso> grmbl: try `apt-get install python python2.5-dev`
[15:55] <Slart> hischild: ah.. you get one section for each core.. that makes sense
[15:55] <dgjones> gmachine_24, have you deleted something as root? maybe in a terminal after you'd used sudo?
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, HAve you changed any of your sources.list?
[15:56] <gmachine_24> dgjones: very possibly yes.
[15:56] <grmbl> zossso: still this dep:

[15:56] <zossso> grmbl: or might try System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
[15:56] <hischild> Slart, yup ... yet i refuse to reinstall ... so either i find a way to fix it, or i'll stick with a single core
[15:56] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: *maybe*. i didnt install it.
[15:56] <gmachine_24> dgjones: is there a *special* place to look for those files?
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, Did you ever run a script called automatix or envy?
[15:57] <grmbl> zossso: i tried aptitude. it couldnt resolve the issue

[15:57] <Seb962> Good afternoon everyone!!!
[15:57] <Bartek> can someone help me with GNOME?
[15:57] <Slart> hischild:  what happens if you run a live cd? you get the same info?
[15:57] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: should i?
[15:57] <gmachine_24> dgjones: ok i'll be patient. thanks for your help.
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> never
[15:57] <hischild> Slart, no that runs fine (last time i checked was a few days ago)
[15:57] <Bartek> I am getting red fail on Starting GNOME display manager
[15:58] <Slart> hischild: have you changed your kernel? compiled a new one?
[15:58] <Bartek> and some error about FreeFontPath
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, try this..  apt-get install pastebinit
[15:58] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: try this from a terminal: sudo rm -R ~/.Trash/*
[15:58] <erUSUL> hischild: maybe you are using 386 kernel instead of the generic one?
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, then  cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and it gives you the web address   and give us the address of the pastebin...
[15:59] <Ir1> Slart: i still dont get it :/
[15:59] <Ir1> Slart, i dunno what i should do with theese aplications caus this is first linux expiriense for me
[15:59] <hischild> erUSUL, uname gives Linux hc 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux so i doubt i changed it without me knowing so
[15:59] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: the source list is a local mirror
[16:00] <Bartek> Please help me! I am getting red "fail" when loading "Starting GNOME Display Manager" and when try to "startx" getting error about FreeFontPath!
[16:00] <erUSUL> hischild: problem is it only detects one core? do you use any boot option?
[16:00] <hischild> erUSUL, might be cause it installed lilo instead of grub? and the only boot option it has is acpi=off (won't boot without it)

[16:01] <Xteven> hi, I have an ubuntu packaging question: my package shows up in "apt-cache show" but not when I go to Applications -> Add/Remove and search for it. Why could that be ?
[16:02] <hischild> erUSUL, if i remove acpi=off it refuses to boot in general. And it worked like this before i reinstalled
[16:02] <Bartek> so nobody?
[16:02] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.stgraber.org/1165
[16:02] <LjL> Xteven, Add/Remove only shows a selection of packages (mainly those with a GUI)
[16:02] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: it's RomeReactor; try without the asterisk: sudo rm -R ~/.Trash
[16:02] <hischild> erUSUL, it would appear my motherboard has a tick that causes wierd stuff to happen ..
[16:02] <erUSUL> hischild: then dunno what is happening

[16:03] <LjL> Xteven: ah, wait, you mean your *own* packages that you created?

[16:04] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: are they hidden files--meaning, do the file names begin with a dot?
[16:04] <macogw> aquarius: uninstall it?
[16:04] <Xteven> LjL: thx! :)
[16:04] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: eh? on the apt-cacher? i dont know to be honest
[16:05] <aquarius> macogw: ah, I might want it in the future :)
[16:05] <Ir1> slart, i have no idea what this mean (18:01:37) Slart: Ir1: or rather.. "sudo apt-get update"
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, the sources list you posted, has the MAIN repo disabled.
[16:05] <Slart> Ir1: open a terminal/console.. type in this: sudo apt-get update
[16:05] <aquarius> I could use update-rc.d to remove gdm from init, but I don't know if that's the best way.
[16:05] <LjL> Xteven: if that doesn't clear it up, you may also want to ask in #ubuntu-devel and/or #ubuntu-motu, although they're not strictly speaking support channels, so don't be surprised if they redirect you somewhere else
[16:06] <RomeReactor> Bartek: what's the problem?
[16:06] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: but only the commercial, or not?
[16:06] <macogw> aquarius: sudo update-rc.d gdm stop
[16:06] <macogw> aquarius: oh haha you just said that.  yeah, thats probably the easiest
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, you only have multiverse and universe enabled.
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, I gotta run.. bbl
[16:07] <macogw> aquarius: or you could stop it on init 2
[16:07] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: ok. thanks.
[16:07] <gmachine_24> rome, i can't find the file names. i look in the trash bin and it appears empty
[16:07] <macogw> aquarius: like sudo update-rc.d gdm 2 stop
[16:07] <kyle__> hi how do i get permission to move stuff into usr/local/games ?
[16:07] <macogw> aquarius: and then put 2 at the end of the boot parameters so it always boots to runlevel 2, but i think 2 is ubuntu's default
[16:07] <zossso> Mouse clicks don't change focus when I click in app window.  Only when clicked on titlebar.  Any ideas?
[16:08] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: press CTRL+H while in the trash can in Nautilus
[16:08] <Slart> zossso: I think it's a feature. you can change it in System, Preferences, Windows afaik
[16:08] <aquarius> macogw: hrm. says "expected runlevel" as an error. the man page for update-rc.d confuses me :(
[16:08] <Ir1> slart: still no help'
[16:08] <kyle__> hi how do i get permission to move stuff into usr/local/games ?
[16:08] <gmachine_24> rome, i have already enabled the show hidden files and it still shows nada
[16:09] <gmachine_24> romereactor, that is
[16:09] <Ir1> slart: i still got same "error" message
[16:09] <zossso> Slart: Sweet!  Don't know what happened to my previous settings, but this is even better than what I had. thx a million
[16:09] <gmachine_24> dgjones, thanks. i will check it out
[16:09] <macogw> aquarius: oh i think you need to tell it which to start on and which to stop on
[16:09] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: weird; try restarting the panels from the system monitor
[16:09] <Slart> Ir1: open a terminal/console.. type in this: sudo apt-get update     <--- did you do this? do you need help opening a terminal?
[16:10] <Slart> zossso: you're welcome
[16:10] <macogw> aquarius: if you do that you can do "init 3" to get back to gui.  if you dont care to be able to do that and are fine with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" then just go with remove
[16:10] <Ir1> yes i did it
[16:10] <Slart> Ir1: any output? errors?
[16:10] <macogw> aquarius: ill be back in like 5-10 minutes. i have to go to class
[16:10] <aquarius> macogw: cheers. remove it is :)

[16:11] <Kleggen> Does anyone know a repo with packages for PHP 5.3? I've been googling and searching in ubuntuforums, but could not find it...

[16:11] <lordleemo> Ir1: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   in a terminal,  then remove the #  before the word  deb  and then save it  . then in terminal run  sudo apt-get update
[16:11] <Slart> Ir1: ahh.. you haven't enabled the internet repos.. that explains it.. don't paste anything else
[16:11] <Ir1> slart: Luetaan pakettiluetteloita... Valmis
[16:11] <zossso> kyle__: from the command line, `sudo` will grant you permissions to do just about anything -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:11] <kippy> hey Guys even fter giving the htdocs directory(LAMP) all the requied persmissions and copying my php files to the folder i cant access them through apache.. any solutions?
[16:12] <Slart> Ir1: open System, Administration, Software sources
[16:12] <zossso> kyle__: so something like `sudo cp /home/kyle/games /usr/local/games` will copy your games dir to /usr/local
[16:12] <Slart> Ir1: make sure the five options on the first page has a checkmark next to them
[16:13] <Ir1> slart none of them has
[16:13] <Slart> Ir1: and the "Download from:" pulldown menu should say something like "Server for Finland".. or main server
[16:13] <crashoweride> ciao
[16:13] <Slart> Ir1: nope.. that's the problem.. just click the box so they are checked
[16:13] <kyle__> zosso is there no way of me being able to just drag and drop something from desktop into usr/local/games ?

[16:14] <graelb> Where can i put a home-made script if i wanted it to run on login?
[16:14] <LjL> !boot > graelb    (graelb, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:14] <zossso> kyle__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#head-c863a1b669260ba6af02fa652d7f8fe5e6828042
[16:14] <Slart> graelb: anywhere you want.. and use System, Preferences, Sessions to run it
[16:14] <Ir1> slart: now it started to download paggaes
[16:14] <graelb> Thank you sir! or... mam! =P
[16:14] <zancdar> Hello
[16:14] <zossso> kyle__: that is new to me too!
[16:14] <LjL> graelb: the "right thing" is to create an init.d compliant script and then add it for boot with "update-rc.d". but you could just run it from /etc/rc.local
[16:15] <Slart> Ir1: yes.. and when it's done the add/remove thingy should work too
[16:15] <zancdar> I'm on kubuntu testing and I install kubuntu-kde4-desktop to have KDE 4 version how can I remove KDE3 with all his dependencies?
[16:15] <Slart> LjL: run on login.. not boot
[16:15] <graelb> Just call it from inside rc.local?
[16:16] <LjL> Slart, graelb: good point... i'm not sure i know the correct answer to that one.
[16:16] <Kleggen> kyle__: try "gksudo nautilus /" and use the one window...
[16:16] <Slart> LjL: well.. there's always the nice gui way of using System, Preferences, Sessions.. easy to point and click
[16:17] <kyle__> aha that work cheers kleggen
[16:17] <graelb> LjL: that's ok! thanks for that. I'll be able to work it out from here, I already found out about rc.local and running the update on it... but i didn't realize a script had to be compliant for it to work
[16:17] <kyle__> how come you can't just do it normally?
[16:17] <Pip> Can I order for 8.04 ?
[16:17] <zossso> kyle__, Kleggen: even better
[16:17] <LjL> Slart: yes, but does that work as expected with a script? i know it's intended to re-run graphical programs on login
[16:17] <kyle__> why cant they just ask you for a password? and then allow you to do styuff?
[16:17] <LjL> graelb, no, for /etc/rc.local it doesn't
[16:17] <zossso> kyle__: security has it's downfalls
[16:17] <Slart> LjL: I use it to mount some samba volumes when I login .. works nicely
[16:17] <kyle__> ahh :)
[16:17] <LjL> graelb, if you want it to run on *logic*, see Slart
[16:18] <kyle__> hopefully i'll pick up all this stuff over time :)
[16:18] <zossso> kyle__: but at least you have a solid OS
[16:18] <graelb> LjL: Right, i wrote a script and put it into /etc/init.d/ and ran the update, but it didn't work. And from what you said, it's because it wasn't rc.local Compliant
[16:18] <kyle__> yeah i'm not complaining it's just all new to me that's all :)
[16:18] <graelb> init.d compliant *
[16:18] <W8TAH|class> i would like to speak to someone about using iSCSI on ubuntu Dapper server to create a large storage environment
[16:18] <kyle__> i love ubuntu :)
[16:18] <dgjones> Pip, not yet, when its released, you should be able to order it from shipit, at the moment, they only offer Ubuntu 7.10 - https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[16:19] <zossso> kyle__: understand :)  me too!
[16:19] <Pip> I see
[16:19] <kes0> hello , my mouse stop work sometimes so i have to pull it out and back in so it start again ?
[16:19] <Slart> kyle__: I don't think linux has ever had the "this is not allowed unless you're root so I'm going to use sudo even though you didn't specify it" thingy
[16:19] <LjL> graelb: most likely. it needs to respond to "start" and "stop" commands at least. see /etc/init.d/skeleton
[16:20] <graelb> LjL: Thanks! =) made my day
[16:20] <zossso> kes0: wired or wireless mouse?
[16:20] <Ir1> slart: Than You very much! now everything works just as it should be :)
[16:20] <gmachine_24> romereactor, i'm giving up for the time being. i tried all the things in the link someone else posted, did a "locate" for trash .Trash ./trash ./Trash .trash everything I could think of and got nowhere
[16:20] <gmachine_24> romereactor thanks anyway for all your help
[16:20] <kes0> zossso wired, intelli 3.0
[16:21] <mee72> what is the pakage realplay is in
[16:21] <LjL> !real > mee72    (mee72, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:21] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: OK
[16:22] <graelb> Wow, this is so far above my bash scripting experience... lol
[16:22] <steve176> Hi. I need to set JAVA_HOME (and other variables) on Gutsy server. I've added them to /etc/environment and rebooted but they haven't been picked up. any ideas?
[16:22] <zossso> kes0: is this a new problem.  how frequently does it quit working?
[16:22] <LjL> mee72: i think on Gutsy you can find it in Medibuntu - not sure if it's in the partner repository as well
[16:22] <LjL> !medibuntu > mee72    (mee72, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:23] <Slart> any X-ninjas here? is it possible to run an application on one gutsy machine and export the window from the app to another gutsy machine using a LAN ? kind of like vnc but for one app only?
[16:23] <mavi-> Slart: sure
[16:23] <ender> Question: Does anyone know how to set up an smb mount in fstab so that it reloads when I restart?
[16:23] <mavi-> Slart: do you know ssh?
[16:24] <kes0> zossso sometimes its like 20 minutes between the times and sometime like 3 mins , installed ubuntu 6.06 yesterday and the mouse have die from the start
[16:24] <Slart> mavi-: I've met him once or twice.. =)
[16:24] <mavi-> Slart: if you do ssh -X host
[16:24] <mavi-> Slart: then all X programs you start will be shown at localhost
[16:24] <FastZ> I'm an ex-ninja.
[16:24] <mavi-> Slart: the ones you start at the remote host that is
[16:24] <Kleggen> Slart:What about using "ssh -X hostname" and then run the program?
[16:24] <Slart> mavi-: that sounds awsome.. I'm off to try that straight away
[16:25] <mavi-> Slart: else X is really a network server, but is firewalled for all but localhost
[16:25] <ender> Question: Does anyone know how to set up an smb mount in fstab so that it remounts when I restart?
[16:25] <PreNoob> would anyone know why after i installed libJama-Java, I still cant use "import Jama.*;"? it says Jama doesnt exist..... ? :S
[16:25] <mavi-> Slart: so you can open ports and send windows everywhere =) but ssh method is much better
[16:25] <ender> I have it mounted already in /media/storage but it will not stay when I restart
[16:25] <zossso> kes0: Have you tried to update the kernel?
[16:25] <dgjones> kes0, i had a similar problem with a USB mouse, i had to modify the startup command to add "noapic nolapic" to the boot paramaters
[16:26] <mee72> LjL: thanks for the link
[16:26]  * delcoyote hi
[16:26] <Slart> mavi-: haha.. *mad laughter*.. it works.. so nice.. thanks again
[16:26] <PreNoob> Q:  would anyone know why after i installed libJama-Java, I still cant use "import Jama.*;"? it says Jama doesnt exist..... ? :S
[16:27] <ender> Question: Does anyone know how to set up an smb mount in fstab so that it remounts when I restart?
[16:27] <hischild> Slart, that's the only reason why my server has a desktop isntalled :p so i can use ssh to get the graphical stuff over ^_^
[16:27] <kes0> zossso: have run the update program in x but i dont know if the kernel is updated
[16:27] <gmachine_24> is romereactor is here
[16:27] <gmachine_24> or dgjones
[16:27] <FLUXxXx> Hello! I'm writing a project for school about Linux. Can anyone help me with this:? Which are the criterias that differeces all Linux distributions? I was thinking about the package manager (rpm/deb/etc), the desktop env (kde/gnome/etc). What else? Give me as many as you can think of. THANK YOU
[16:27] <Slart> hischild: ah.. I've used vnc before.. but that feels really cramped.. =)
[16:27] <ArmedKing> Can anyone tell me or change line 9 in my fstab http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58384/ to make that directory usable by user king i cant figure it out
[16:28] <dgjones> gmachine_24, I'm here for 5 minutes and thats all
[16:28] <gmachine_24> all.... linux.... distros.... very amusing there
[16:28] <zossso> kes0: dgjones might have your fix... see above
[16:28] <kes0> dgjones: ok , its damn enoying :p
[16:28] <hischild> Slart, i always used vnc on windows ... but yeah it feels .. "off"
[16:28] <kes0> dgjones: where do i write that ?
[16:28] <gmachine_24> dgjones, i *fixed* the trash problem by rebooting the computer.
[16:28] <kes0> <-- beginner :P
[16:29] <kes0> zossso: yea , thx =)
[16:30] <dgjones> kes0, in a terminal, tyoe "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst", look for the line "boot: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash" or something similar (the kernel version could be different) and after ro quiet splash, add "noapic nolapic" and then save the file and restart
[16:31] <yao_ziyua1> there is a usability bug: if some packages in my apt database have broken dependencies, Adept-Manager won't install/upgrade any packages. i have to manually find and remove the broken packages. this is very unfriendly to new users.
[16:31] <tom17bombadil_> hiho
[16:31] <openros> i tried to copy some contents to my lap from a pc
[16:31] <openros> i got the following error

[16:32] <dgjones> kes0, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions there's more info on changing the file down at the bottom of this web page
[16:32] <mavi-> yao_ziyua1: but if it helps, it was way way worse before
[16:32] <yao_ziyua1> i think if adept-manager can't do something it must tell me exactly which packages involved are the problem
[16:32] <apurva_> help help
[16:32] <tom17bombadil_> apt-get does not find it

[16:33] <apurva_> hav problems with restricted drivers manager
[16:34] <hischild> yao_ziyua1, hmm ... maybe there's a newer package that depends on the most current version of python?
[16:34] <openros> ok
[16:34] <zossso> ender: Tried this in fstab `//server/share /mnt/share smbfs ro,guest 0 0`
[16:34] <dgjones> kes0, i've got to go now, you'll have to ask somebody else in the channel if there's anything else you need
[16:34] <yao_ziyua1> hischild: the newest official bittorrent client is 5.0 and it depends on python 2.4, weird
[16:34] <steve176> Why are variables in /etc/environment only visible with local login and not from ssh?

[16:35] <openros> what should i do
[16:35] <Bartek> Good Evening
[16:35] <Slart> ok, since the X-ninja concentration was kind of high here today.. here's another question.. can I grab the display from an already running application and get it to my local computer..ie instead of starting a new application I would like one already running on the remote machine
[16:35] <yao_ziyua1> hischild: yes
[16:35] <kes0> okey , have a nice day
[16:35] <kes0> dgjones
[16:35] <Bartek> someane could help me with gnome error??
[16:35] <zossso> zackyramone: when does this error happen?
[16:35] <yao_ziyua1> i think adept-manager currently has too brief error messages
[16:35] <zackyramone> zossso: when i run WoW from terminal
[16:36] <yao_ziyua1> it should translate apt-get's error messages in english
