[03:49] <maxagaz> kindofabuzz, ok, i found it, but whereis gdm doesn't give it to me
[03:50] <Millertime_018> redvamp128: that's what I want to do. but i don't know how. do you know what fusion-icon is?
[03:50] <joe-mac> Millertime_018: there's a couple ways, what you want to do most likely is hit ESC key on boot at the grub menu and then choose the rescue option
[03:50] <Millertime_018> joe-mac: wait!
[03:50] <joe-mac> you will be given a root prompt with no password, at which point you type su - $YOURUSERNAME
[03:51] <joe-mac> waiting
[03:51] <Millertime_018> joe-mac: i know what I'll do.
[03:51] <joe-mac> hit me with it.
[03:51] <Millertime_018> joe-mac: ok, when i start up and grub comes up, hit esc and the command line will come up
[03:51] <Millertime_018> i'll uninstall fusion-icon
[03:51] <selocol> I'm using Ubuntu with Fluxbox. How do I put my computer to sleep? Or hibernate?
[03:52] <redvamp128> Millertime_018:  I use a similar - the compiz-switch instead of the fusion icon - plus I use the advanced desktop effects settings to change my compiz (though mostly I turn it off)
[03:52] <Millertime_018> with "apt-get autoremove fusion-icon" is that command correct?
[03:52] <Millertime_018> after it completes, how will i just tell it to boot?
[03:53] <maxagaz> how to cancel the autologin in gdm from a terminal ?
[03:53] <joe-mac> ctrl-d to exit your shell, init 5 as root
[03:53] <Millertime_018> joe-mac: how will i tell it to boot into the regular screen using the CLI
[03:53] <joe-mac> will get you to a gui
[03:54] <joe-mac> well, don't be using that command unless you enter 'rescue mode' which is verbal dressing for runlevel 1 aka single user mode
[03:54] <joe-mac> 5 is traditionally multi-user with X
[03:54] <Millertime_018> joe-mac: i mean i will use the CLI to remove a program. after that completes i just want to boot normally
[03:54] <Millertime_018> what are you talking about joe-mac
[03:54] <Millertime_018> ?
[03:54] <Achoth> Hello. I have a question about security in Ubuntu. Are there any directories that are publically available except /var/www (default) on a server with apache2 and openSSH?
[03:55] <Millertime_018> what's a "verbal dressing" or runlevel 1?
[03:55] <joe-mac> "rescue mode" at the grub menu when you boot
[03:55] <joe-mac> when you hit esc
[03:55] <joe-mac> you will be presented with a menu
[03:55] <joe-mac> one will say "rescue mode" at the end
[03:55] <joe-mac> that's the one you choose
[03:55] <FloodBot2> joe-mac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:55] <Millertime_018> ok i'll try
[03:55] <Millertime_018> see you in a few
[03:55] <Millertime_018> if i don't come back it worked

[03:56] <redvamp128> joe-mac:  what is so hard about him turning off compiz = fixing the issue then turn it back on?
[03:57] <SMG_CARIII_> smg_yukkkk
[03:57] <Stepan1> Hello.  Is there any way in terminal to get a list of all the packages currently installed?  I just installed a package but now I can't it in Synaptic

[03:58] <Stepan1> rww: great, thanks
[03:58] <felixsulla> So, I have a folder I want to make permissions avail for my normal login to read/write/execute. I did gksudo nautilus to run nautilus as root, but when try to change the owner of the directory it just changes it right back to root. What do I need to do?
[03:58] <joe-mac> redvamp128: his login session doesn't work
[03:58] <rww> felixsulla: what type of filesystem is the folder on? ext2/3, ntfs, etc.?
[03:58] <joe-mac> for someone new to ubuntu, that is the equivalent of fixing apollo 13
[03:59] <redvamp128> joe-mac:  ctl-alt-f2 right after the drums?
[03:59] <joe-mac> yea, my first advice was based on what i thought was a freeze at boot
[03:59] <felixsulla> rww: Ok, stupid question.. how do I check that :/
[03:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> zi just wanna say thanks to everyone here wo's helpng out us newbs
[03:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> :)
[04:00] <rww> felixsulla: the "mount" command in terminal will show a list of all mounted filesystems. If you know the folder path (e.g. /media/disk/foo/bar), you can match that up to the right line, then the filesystem type is right after it.
[04:01] <tareque99> how do i install realplayer?
[04:01] <Fallen[qa]> I'm having problems getting an wireless internet connection through Ubuntu, I had no problems when using the Live cd but after installing Ive had many problems with it. I had read many tutorials on it and talked with three other people but still at no solution. I had installed WICD with no luck, it was not able to find any wireless networks aswell with anything other then my wired connection. I had tried using NDISWRAPPER b
[04:01] <Fallen[qa]> ut turned out my card is compatabile and it was not needed, even though oddly enough its still not working. My adapter is not off or anything else like that and Im running out of solutions. Any help? My card is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
[04:01] <felixsulla> type vboxsf?
[04:02] <chinguy> hi
[04:02] <linxuz3r> hi chinguy
[04:02] <redvamp128> felixsulla:  You could try what is on this page (and I do know it says .dmrc fix) but on the page there is a command to chmod so that it takes ownership of all the files to the specified user- Ubuntu .dmrc permission issue - a fix <http://www.ubuntuproductivity.com/journal/ubuntu/08/2008/fix-ubuntu-dmrc-permissions-error-on-login/>
[04:02] <chinguy> i'm back
[04:02] <chinguy> so hot
[04:02] <linxuz3r> back from?
[04:03] <redvamp128> felixsulla:  and you have to log off and goto options then window manger-- prompt only to run those commands at the bottom.. Should fix the permission issue for the folder.
[04:03] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: that card works near flawlessly with linux via a native module (meaning notndiswrapper) called ipw4965 i believe. so what is the behavior you're seeing?
[04:03] <jhonnyboy> How can i change directory to Local Disk in the terminal?
[04:03] <felixsulla> redvamp128: So i'm encountering some kind of bug..? Not just a normal permissions thing?
[04:03] <joe-mac> like no networks come up, or you try to connect and it fails?
[04:03] <[ka]killer> hey guys, netfinity 5000 system, cant get into a prompt to modprobe any sugestions?
[04:04] <unop> jhonnyboy,  cd  /path/to/"Local Disk"  #perhaps?
[04:04] <DaSkreech> Is there anyone on feisty?
[04:04] <DaSkreech> I need a sources.list from a feisty machine
[04:04] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; I have installed WICD and it is not able to identify any wireless networks, same thing with the native Network Manager
[04:04] <redvamp128> felixsulla:  not really a bug per say = but running nautilus as sudo or gksu is not usually something to be ran (I only run it when I want to remove a file that won't let me otherwise)
[04:04] <[ka]killer> feisty was 7.04 right?
[04:04] <[ka]killer> or was it 7.10..
[04:04] <chinguy> what's feisty
[04:04] <DaSkreech> Yes
[04:04] <jhonnyboy> unop: I don't know how to find the local disk on ubuntu ><
[04:04] <DaSkreech> !feisty
[04:04] <[ka]killer> one sec
[04:04] <[ka]killer> i think i may be
[04:04] <operationhavok> im trying to find some encrytion software for ubuntu
[04:04] <operationhavok> any ideas?
[04:04] <rewt> jhonnyboy, what do you mean by local disk?
[04:04] <[ka]killer> need to vnc ot the box tho
[04:05] <unop> jhonnyboy, maybe you should explain yourself a bit more.   what do you mean local disk?
[04:05] <felixsulla> redvamp128: I was just thinking it'd be an easy way to adjust the permissions. I guess I should just look up the terminal command instead, eh? :)
[04:05] <DaSkreech> 7.04
[04:05] <rww> DaSkreech: feisty isn't supported any more, and its apt repositories got moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com
[04:05] <jhonnyboy> rewt: Places > Local Disk
[04:05] <[ka]killer> wait... never mind i updated to 7.10
[04:05] <DaSkreech> rww: that's kinda why I need the sources.list :)
[04:05] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: can you please go to applications accessories terminal and type sudo lsmod | grep ipw
[04:05] <joe-mac> just copy and paste that command, if nothing comes up, your driver isn't loaded
[04:05] <jhonnyboy> i need to change directory inside the terminal to my local disk so that i may find a .iso to run with Wine
[04:05] <tritium> joe-mac: lsmod doesn't require sudo
[04:05] <DaSkreech> [ka]killer: give me the sources.list for that
[04:05] <[ka]killer> one sec... have to vnc back to the box
[04:05] <Orochium> Is anyone around that can help me with something.
[04:05] <redvamp128> felixsulla:  yes that would be better-- but my fix should adjust all files to be permission for user (the sudo chmod 700 /home/<yourusername>)
[04:05] <[ka]killer> freenode killed nightstar oro
[04:05] <Orochium> oh hey kak
[04:06] <DaSkreech> rww: It needs to have some file from the backports but I can't figure out where the backports server is
[04:06] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; I got no response to the command
[04:06] <unop> jhonnyboy, when you go there.. press CTRL+L  .. you should see nautilus display the path in the navigation bar.  you use that path with cd.
[04:06] <joe-mac> ok so now type sudo modprobe ipw4965
[04:06] <rww> DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121674/
[04:06] <felixsulla> redvamp128: So just run litterally that line in bash: "sudo chmod 700 /home/<username>
[04:06] <Orochium> ?
[04:06] <jhonnyboy> unop: Thank you so much! That helps a lot :)
[04:06] <jhonnyboy> Bye everyone
[04:06] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; FATAL: Module ipw4965 not found.
[04:06] <[ka]killer> son of a... firefox keeps crashing
[04:07]  * Orochium just needs to figure out how to stop Ubuntu's server installer long enough to run a modprobe ide_generic
[04:07] <DaSkreech> rww: Thank you
[04:07] <redvamp128> felixsulla:  But you can't be logged into the desktop (command line online only ) options -- window manger and you should find the prompt only option.
[04:07] <Orochium> trying to get it onto Netfinity 5000...saying that no CDrom is found, even after you boot from it, I was looking in this thread --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818210&page=2 there at the top
[04:07] <joe-mac> ok apparently recently ipw has been deprecated fallen, try the first command lsmod | grep lwl
[04:07] <Orochium> but break = top doesn't seem to stop anything at all
[04:07] <felixsulla> redvamp128: By cant be logged into the desktop, do you mean I cant have nautilus open..?
[04:07] <joe-mac> iwl**
[04:08] <Orochium> so I have no way to get back to aprompt to type in modprobe ide_generic so it can continue installing
[04:08] <Orochium> exact same problem as in that thread
[04:08] <Orochium> any takers? please, I've been working on this sunce thursday night without any luck (three distros later...)
[04:08] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: this page has some good info http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_PRO/Wireless_4965AGN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter
[04:08] <redvamp128> felixsulla:  no just log out-- then goto the options on the left bottom of the screen- then window manger-- then look for the option of prompt only (or maybe listed as command line recovery) depending on build
[04:08] <[ka]killer> it has been driving him crazy
[04:09] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; as for the output http://pastebin.com/m3c85016e
[04:09] <magaio> Does anyone know of a good software midi arpeggiator besides qmidiarp? Something that can work for Alsa MIDI or Jack MIDI?
[04:09] <felixsulla> redvamp128: Ok finally I just clued into what you mean. Thank you.
[04:09] <[ka]killer> who wanted my source list from 7.04?
[04:09] <Orochium> yeah. help me, before I try to install windows out of desperation D:
[04:10] <redvamp128> felixsulla:  that will set all files in that folder to be user settings (all permissions for that folder to that user)
[04:10] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: paste "iwlist scan"
[04:10] <x-ip> iwlist <iface> scan
[04:10] <martin_henry> don't you need to specify the interface with iwlist?
[04:10] <kak2> grrr where is my source list again
[04:10] <kak2> i forget wherre its located -_-
[04:11] <gogutech> y need to broadcast video over internet ( like online radio ) any ideea how ?
[04:11] <dancho> helo
[04:11] <rww> kak2: /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:11] <joe-mac> yea, cept iface is unknown
[04:11] <kak2> appppt!
[04:11] <dancho> anybobody from ecuador?
[04:11] <joe-mac> so iwlist scan will loop through all
[04:11] <kak2> i forgot which folder
[04:11] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; http://pastebin.com/m1331b309
[04:11] <x-ip> gogutech: use icecast2
[04:11] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: is this a lenovo? Check your killswitch. Then when you say it's not killed, check it a couple more times.
[04:12] <joe-mac> those things are great for getting stuck half way
[04:12] <Orochium> ...
[04:12] <RussM> Orochium, You try adding any boot parameters?
[04:12] <joe-mac> and making you want to kill things
[04:12] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; what do you mean by killswitch?
[04:12] <RussM> Orochium, I don't have a netfinity to try it on, but in the past, if I was installing on a box and it had problems seeing the cdrom, there were some boot parameters that were usefull.
[04:12] <joe-mac> there is a wireless killswitch on lenovos, it's a physical switch, on other types of laptops it's an Fn+ControlKey switch
[04:13] <joe-mac> on my x300 it's somewhere near the front bottom
[04:13] <Orochium> RussM: happen to know any of those, and I'd add those to the install line after hitting F6 in the installer right?
[04:13] <rewt> toshibas and dells have that too
[04:13] <RussM> Orochium, all_generic_ide helped me once before.
[04:13] <Orochium> where am I plugging that in?
[04:14] <RussM> Orochium, Hang on, i'll try booting the install iso in a vm so I don't get the info wrong.
[04:14] <Orochium> very very appreciated
[04:15] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; It seems to be on, Ive switched between on and off refreshing to see if it turned on but still not getting anything
[04:15] <qcjn> hi, anyone is top with rsync, cause i made a -n flag rsync with the --delete & log-file, and i don't see in the log file what would be deleted
[04:15] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: is this a physical switch or a function key? is there a corresponding LED omn the LED panel?
[04:16] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; physical switch and I dont think it is, not sure if their is one. Im on a Dell XPS laptop
[04:16] <RussM> Orochium, Yes, select your language, then hit f6, and add "all_generic_ide" in there, probably before "quiet" would be good.
[04:16] <[ka]killer> wrong button
[04:17] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: in a terminal type sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
[04:17] <joe-mac> leave it open
[04:17] <joe-mac> then flip the switch, wait a couple, see if something shows in there
[04:17] <Kagee> Is there any way to share a X-program over network?
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Kagee: yes
[04:18] <Kagee> (not vnc, 2 different users, same program)
[04:18] <B10S> joe-mac, how do you stop that?
[04:18] <RussM> Orochium, If that doesn't work, I see a post by someone in the forums that suggested "acpi=force" when installing 8.04 - maybe that's something that would help? The post is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818210
[04:18] <joe-mac> ctrl-c will stop tail -f
[04:18] <B10S> cool
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Kagee:  I was thinking  VNC, but there's something for X  I think,   plus there's the NX  stuff
[04:18] <boot_loop> anyone know how to disable the touch stick in the middle of the keyboard on a dell E6500 laptop?
[04:19] <_VIM_> Kagee: theres ssh x forwarding but don't ask me how, i just know it is possible :)
[04:19] <Orochium> Russ: I'll try it...right now if I hit ALT+F2 before it tries to find the CDrom, it'll let me activate the terminal, but modprobe ide_generic or modprobe all_generic_ide returns "FATAL Modile X not found"
[04:20] <x-ip> sebsebseb: u can export the display from the X server
[04:20] <x-ip> and connect to the X server by ssh
[04:20] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; http://pastebin.com/m594f38e0
[04:20] <RussM> Orochium, Wow, the poster there actually ended up using "break=top" on the boot, then typing "modprobe ide_generic" when it "broke" into the boot.
[04:20] <x-ip> this is the job that NX do
[04:20] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; Also thanks for all the help
[04:20] <sebsebseb> Kagee: look at this site.  http://www.nomachine.com
[04:20] <Orochium> Russ: and thats what I'm TRYING to do
[04:20] <Orochium> but it hasn't worked at all as explained
[04:21] <Stepan1> Does Ubuntu automatically come with VNC?
[04:21] <Orochium> I boot...hilight Install Ubuntu server...press F6...at the end of the line, I add "break=top"
[04:21] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: not properly no
[04:21] <Orochium> which does NOTHING
[04:21] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: a viewer, but not a server
[04:21] <Orochium> then after it gets into the installer, where it sets up the keyboard and region and layout
[04:21] <_VIM_> x11vnc is good
[04:21] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: also VNC needs to be tunneld  over SSH to be secure, when it's being done over net
[04:21] <Orochium> just before cdrom I'm able to alt + F2 to activate the terminal
[04:21] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: yeah and insecure unless tunneled over SSH
[04:22] <Orochium> typing modprobe Ide_generic there gives me a FATAL: Not found
[04:22] <_VIM_> ye
[04:22] <_VIM_> yes*
[04:22] <Orochium> I am out of ideas
[04:22] <Stepan1> sebsebseb: do you know if I installed server can i view from a windows machine?
[04:22] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: Putty is the way to connect to a Linux SSH server
[04:22] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: I'm not that paranoid though ;)
[04:22] <[ka]killer> i wish i lived closer oro
[04:22] <[ka]killer> i would help you out more
[04:22] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: np, so it look slike nothing popped up in messages, let's try something similar type this
[04:22] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: ,but it is a bit of a pain to set up in Windows I find
[04:22] <joe-mac> watch -n 3 "dmesg | tail -20"
[04:22] <daddyjunebug> can anyone tell me how to use wine to run wow from dvd rom?
[04:22] <Orochium> I've checked the MD5 twice, and reburnt the cd three times
[04:22] <RussM> Orochium, Maybe someone else has a suggestion on how to get it to see the install CD. all_generic_ide was the trick for me, but I was installing on a home-built box w/ an abit mobo, not a netfinity.
[04:23] <joe-mac> flip the switch and just wait, you should def see something new scroll by
[04:23] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: well better safe than sorry, as the saying goes
[04:23] <Orochium> RussM: what did you have to do...try to be specific, maybe I'm missing a step people take for granted
[04:23] <RussM> Orochium, what kind of bios settings does a netfinity have?
[04:23] <Stepan1> sebsebseb: ill check it out, thanks
[04:23] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: if you must have the last word, ok fine, better safe than sorry yes. :P
[04:24] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: if you just want to see someones  Windows desktop in Linux though,  then there's a much easier way
[04:24] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; the output is very similar to the previous one
[04:24] <sebsebseb> that is secure
[04:24] <martin_henry> yeah VNC
[04:24] <^Einstein> OK, folks, here's Yet Another PulseAudio Problem! I used PA for months but could never get good-quality sound from my capture devices because of that bugger HDA-Intel issue that I tried to fix myself. I managed to fix it...
[04:24] <daddyjunebug> does any one know how to install games like sims and wow
[04:24] <Orochium> RussM: not very much, mostly inspectful options
[04:24] <^Einstein> But when I restarted my session, all the audio failed.
[04:24] <Orochium> nothing really to change much with IDE
[04:24] <^Einstein> Now, it fails every 20 minutes or so after I start it manually, with the message:
[04:24] <sebsebseb> martin_henry: maybe you missed it, but we just talked about how VNC is not secure unless tunneled over SSH
[04:24] <^Einstein> Soft CPU time limit exhausted, terminating.
[04:24] <^Einstein> Hard CPU time limit exhausted, terminating forcibly.
[04:25] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: i'm looking for something that doesn't talk about a broadcom input device
[04:25] <daddyjunebug> i have wine but i get an error msg that says success
[04:25] <Myst_> Anyone know the name of a program that will allow my server to automatically connect to dyndns.org to update the IP address?
[04:25] <martin_henry> sebsebseb:sorry. I figured that was known
[04:25] <^Einstein> TS has stopped working even through padsp, and everything else works fine for this 20 minute period.
[04:25] <tritium> ^Einstein: easy on the Enter key, please
[04:25] <sebsebseb> martin_henry: nah loads of people don't know that VNC is meant to be tunneled over SSH
[04:25] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; something similar to [14686.980673] btusb_send_frame: hci0 urb f3407b80 submission failed

[04:27] <RussM> Orochium, I hit f6, added it to the very end of the line.
[04:28] <tritium> ^Einstein: periods work wonders for separating sentences.  ;)
[04:28] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: you get a program such as realvnc  free edition  and  run the server ( add new client ip address)
[04:28] <^Einstein> not when said sentences are more than the 192-ish-character IRC limit, tritium. ;)
[04:28] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: and use putty to get on Linux ssh
[04:28] <sebsebseb> Stepan1:  so much easier Linux to Linux
[04:28] <RussM> Orochium, I got a prompt that read "(initramfs) "
[04:28] <Stepan1> sebsebseb: got it, thanks
[04:29] <RussM> Orochium, I typed "modprobe ide_generic", hit return, then typed "exit".
[04:29] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: usually the same switch disables/enabled BT, sounds like some kind of kernel thing. can you get on a wire and do a dist-upgrade?
[04:29] <stealth_tty1> anyone know the purpose of port 1 (tcp/tcpmux) and port 10000 (tcp/snet-sensor-mgmt)?
[04:29] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: what exactly do you want to do?
[04:29] <RussM> Orochium, It booted from the livecd - now, the vm I'm running it in isn't a netfinity, for sure... but at least it found the  module properly.
[04:29] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; right now im on a wired connection so yeah
[04:30] <Orochium> RussM: please see query, I can't follow you here right now
[04:30] <Stepan1> sebsebseb: I have a windows and linux desktop, i want to be able to use both from time to type and maybe transfer files from time to time
[04:30] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: can't use VNC to transfer files
[04:30] <sebsebseb> and
[04:30] <sebsebseb> !samba
[04:31] <Peddy> join #arnoisaac
[04:31] <_VIM_> i'd rather not
[04:31] <Peddy> sorry, forgot the / :P
[04:31] <_VIM_> ;)
[04:31] <Stepan1> sebsebseb: another great program
[04:33] <Fallen[qa]> joe-mac; im sorry im a bit confused, what do you mean by dist-upgrade
[04:33] <sebsebseb> Stepan1: yep Samba is good
[04:33] <sebsebseb> Fallen[qa]: he means
[04:34] <sebsebseb> !upgrade
[04:34] <joe-mac> Fallen[qa]: well you can upgrade your packages ubt some stuff gets held back like kernels and new modules, so just basically do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:34] <sebsebseb> Fallen[qa]: yeah and after changing your sources
[04:34] <^Einstein> so... PulseAudio, HDA-Intel laptop integrated sound card, reinstalled and reconfigured and patched until my eyes were buggy, and it's still borked. Any ideas? I've followed instructions from a dozen different forums to no avail.
[04:35] <sebsebseb> which versin of Ubuntu  Einstein?
[04:35] <^Einstein> 8.10
[04:35] <^Einstein> sebsebseb: Intrepid.
[04:35] <sebsebseb> !sound
[04:36] <ubd> hello i install torrentflux vith synaptic but the files are not where they should be.??
[04:36] <VladimirPutin> ubd: wut?
[04:36] <ubd> i install torrentflux via aptitude however files are lost i cant find them where they should be
[04:37] <^Einstein> sebsebseb: I've tried everything in the book, nothing is working because of the weird HDA-Intel configuration. I found some tuts to patch Ubuntu's PA config to work with HDA-Intel, but they broke it even more.
[04:37] <ubd> where are they!
[04:37] <tritium> ubd: dpkg -L <packagename> lists files in an installed package
[04:37] <sebsebseb> I don't know Einstein
[04:37] <owen1> i try to install a game from a website using apturl. i click on the link, but nothing happend. apt://balazarbrothers
[04:37] <owen1> any idea?
[04:37] <sebsebseb> !apt
[04:38] <^Einstein> my sound card seems to have issues specific to pulseaudio that require special attention to get the capturing to work properly, but nothing so far has worked.
[04:38] <ubd> tritium, thanks i have found em
[04:38] <sebsebseb> Einstin so use ALSA or something instead?
[04:38] <^Einstein> sebsebseb: I need to be able to use more than one audio app at a time... :-\
[04:39] <sebsebseb> Pulseaudio  caused loads of people issues in Hardy
[04:39] <sebsebseb> Intrepid Ibex it's better, but far from perfect I think
[04:40] <^Einstein> Technically, it is using ALSA, just underneath the PulseAudio sound server as a wrapper. I'm using Intrepid and a few tutorials to manually edit the Pulse config files, but I ended up reinstalling and doing dkpg-reconfigure pulseaudio which broke it even more. sebsebseb ^
[04:40] <sebsebseb> well  next release April, and maybe Pulseaudio is even better then
[04:40] <^Einstein> it's not PulseAudio that has to get better, it's how Ubuntu ships with it configured.
[04:40] <^Einstein> It's a tricky sound server, so many variables to screw up on.
[04:41] <sebsebseb> I can't realy help,  plus going soon anyway,  but s tick around and I guess soemone else can
[04:41] <^Einstein> thank you for trying, at the very least.
[04:41] <sebsebseb> ok good luck
[04:42] <x-ip> ^Einstein: to go bck to defaults, remove / purge it and install it again
[04:42] <^Einstein> x-ip: I did, that broke it even more, I tried that as a last resort.
[04:43] <^Einstein> x-ip: like I said, Ubuntu's default configuration of it is far from optimal.
[04:43] <^Einstein> x-ip: now I can't even get it back to the original state, where recording was awful but at least it would stay alive.
[04:43] <cleric> bouyaaaaa
[04:43] <f_newton> ^Einstein, every distro ive used has problems with pulseaudio and it has to do with they way it interacts with certain hardware
[04:44] <x-ip> ^Einstein: hmmm, an ugly solution is to use another wm
[04:44] <cybercom> i had successfully perform the sync process using the grsync........ so how to make it automated .... i mean it need to done everyday automatically
[04:44] <^Einstein> f_newton: you are entirely correct, in my case it's my laptop's very weird HDA-Intel card
[04:44] <x-ip> pulseaudio works fine for me at gnome in intrepid
[04:44] <cybercom> how to do tat????
[04:44] <cybercom> i had successfully perform the sync process using the grsync........ so how to make it automated .... i mean it need to done everyday automatically
[04:44] <cybercom> how to do tat????
[04:44] <x-ip> ^Einstein: wich chipset ?
[04:44] <^Einstein> cybercom: man crontab
[04:45] <f_newton> ^Einstein, that particular hardware has kernel issues until the <IP_ADDRESS>.X
[04:45] <x-ip> ^Einstein: if u use xfce or openbox for ex, u'll not be using pulseaudio, u'll use alsa directly
[04:45] <hitman1985> hi @ all, what should i do if ubuntu 8.10 didnt install the boot part, my pc boots right up to vista :( not a nice up down menu like 8.04 had :(
[04:45] <x-ip> ^Einstein: which is the chipset from ur sound card ?
[04:45] <x-ip> lspci will tell u that
[04:45] <f_newton> ^Einstein, I use a yamaha 2.0 usb sound system
[04:46] <^Einstein> x-ip: $ lspci |grep Audio returns this: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
[04:46] <f_newton> it works really well but not for recording... recording is choppy and the time base is off
[04:46] <^Einstein> f_newton: that was exactly my problem.
[04:46] <x-ip> hitman1985: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[04:47] <^Einstein> f_newton: when I set about to fix it, I just ended up breaking it even more.
[04:47] <f_newton> ^Einstein, unfortunately that is a linux problem in general
[04:47] <f_newton> ^Einstein, Right click on the sound icon and reset your preferences
[04:47] <f_newton> you may have to reboot
[04:47] <hitman1985> x-ip: whats the chance of me messing up my vista partition in this procedure ?
[04:47] <x-ip> hitman1985: if u dont know what u are doing ... high
[04:48] <TruthTaco> how do i format an SD card in linux
[04:48] <VladimirPutin> i really hope you didn't overwrite it
[04:48] <anhsanhs> hi
[04:48] <^Einstein> f_newton: but for twenty minutes until I restarted my session, it was perfect, even under Linux. My capture was crystal clear, and I could use multiple audio apps at once, including padsp...
[04:48] <VladimirPutin> try reinstalling\
[04:48] <ubd> The requested URL /torrentflux was not found on this server.

[04:48] <owen1> how do i use apturl? i click on a link but nothing happend. here is the link - http://www.lgdb.org/game/neverputt
[04:48] <ubd> why do i get this error
[04:48] <^Einstein> f_newton: I have already reset everything, and I still can't even get it back to its original state.
[04:48] <f_newton> ^Einstein, I'm jealous!
[04:48] <f_newton> Ive never gotten it to work
[04:49] <hitman1985> x-ip: i ll give it a shot :)
[04:49] <chinguy> hi
[04:49] <sebastian> kaisersebastian
[04:49] <hitman1985> BRB
[04:49] <f_newton> I do my sound production in windows or mac using cubase, adobe audition or pro tools
[04:49] <chinguy> how about the gentoo
[04:49] <x-ip> ^Einstein: as i read is a problem with the module snd_hda_intel
[04:49] <x-ip> with the kernel module
[04:49] <sebastian> what about xp for eee
[04:49] <^Einstein> f_newton: I've re-installed it with apt-get, removed every config file for pulse and some for alsa before that...
[04:49] <x-ip> do u have sound ^Einstein ?
[04:50] <^Einstein> x-ip: not right now. I can get sound if I start pulseaudio from the command line, but it fails after about 20 minutes with some CPU-time-quota error.
[04:50] <f_newton> lol ^Einstein Ive been trying to get decent production since rh 5 ...
[04:50] <x-ip> :S
[04:50] <chinguy> so busy
[04:51] <f_newton> lol whuttamess
[04:52] <chinguy> bye
[04:52] <x-ip> ^Einstein: which kernel do u have ?
[04:53] <^Einstein> x-ip: Linux Einstein 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:54] <x-ip> ^Einstein: do u know how to compile a kernel for urself ?
[04:54] <^Einstein> x-ip: I have done so many times before.
[04:54] <mrpockets> yo
[04:54] <mrpockets> What line do you put in the Window Managment deal of Compiz to tell it to use Emerald?
[04:54] <^Einstein> x-ip: are you suggesting I find a newer version of snd_hda_intel?
[04:54] <x-ip> ^Einstein: great! seems to be a module snd-hda-intel problem
[04:54] <x-ip> ^Einstein: exactly!
[04:55] <^Einstein> x-ip: afaik, I'm using the latest version. :-\
[04:55] <^Einstein> one sec, let me check lsmod
[04:55] <x-ip> ^Einstein: nop, there are newer kernel versions
[04:56] <x-ip> well, i'm not sure that in newer kernel versions there is a patch for that module, or if it was fixed this problem
[04:56] <x-ip> as i found there is a lot of ppl with ur soundcard having problems
[04:57] <pluckypigeon> it seems to me that a lot of intel hardware doesn't work with ubuntu anymore
[04:58] <^Einstein> x-ip: exactly. And so many that there's even documentation that's worked for other people, such as options=6stack-digital in the alsa config files... a lot of that just borked it even more.
[04:58] <x-ip> ^Einstein: i think the best u can do is to get a newer kernel
[04:58] <x-ip> if its an ubuntu precompiled .deb package, better
[04:58] <TruthTaco> how do i format a SD card in linux
[04:59] <x-ip> and that means u'll have to fetch it from jaunty jackalope repositories
[04:59] <x-ip> as u have the latest kernel vs from intrepid
[04:59] <x-ip> TruthTaco: mkfs.
[04:59] <^Einstein> x-ip: yea, I'm doing it right now, but preferably through the repo first, I've edited my sources.list accordingly.
[05:00] <x-ip> ^Einstein: great! :)
[05:00] <x-ip> hoping that'll work

[05:04] <SchighSchagh> I would like to start an x session remotely (with startx), and forward that entire session to an unused tty on my local machine. anyone know how to start a new x server locally, and forward the remote session to it?
[05:05] <^Einstein> SchighSchagh: forward it to an already existing tty, or make a new one?
[05:05] <SchighSchagh> ^Einstein: new one
[05:05] <^Einstein> GNU Screen ftw, SchighSchagh?
[05:06] <unop> ^Einstein, screen does not do X

[05:07] <evanbd> Hello.  Can anyone offer advice on getting the livecd to boot on a new MacBook?
[05:07] <^Einstein> evanbd: what problem are you having? is it not recognizing the disk on boot at all?
[05:08] <evanbd> It boots, shows the menu.  I pick english, select the "try xubuntu" option.  It displays a line of text about ACPI, then another about "not responding" then the screen goes black.
[05:11] <evanbd> If I remove the quiet and splash options I get a lot more text with the same end result.
[05:14] <^Einstein> evanbd: you tried acpi=off, I assume?
[05:15] <jeeves> what gives with Craigslist giving me reply and rejection of "please_use_SMTP_relay_of_your_isp,_or_setup_non-generic_dns. xabd-276 (in
[05:15] <jeeves>     reply to RCPT TO command"
[05:16] <jeeves>     reply to RCPT TO command"
[05:16] <jeeves> anyone on this SMTP issue?
[05:16] <lowlycoder> i have a bunch of songs i got from itunes (i dual boot Mac OS X / Linux); however I'd like to play them under Linux. What is he best tool for this? (Mplayer, can not read said files).
[05:17] <Simkin> why isn't ssh server included by default in ubuntu!?
[05:17] <^Einstein> lowlycoder: there's a lot of media players out there, I know Banshee, Exaile, and I believe Rhythmbox can read the copy-protected (old iTunes) m4p files just fine as long as you have the gstreamer extension pack.
[05:17] <Myst_> Anyone know the name of a program that will allow my server to automatically connect to dyndns.org to update the IP address?
[05:18] <^Einstein> Simkin: sudo apt-get install openssh
[05:18] <lowlycoder> ^Einstein: let's talk more
[05:18] <evanbd> ^Einstein Yep.  Also tried acpi=force.  Also also tried noapic and irqpoll options.
[05:18] <plcTowlie> Myst, usually that can easily be done through your router
[05:18] <lowlycoder> ^Einstein: is gstreamer-plugin-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly what I'm after, or something else?
[05:18] <Simkin> ^Einstein: but why isn't it there by default?
[05:18] <Myst_> plcTowlie, the linux server is acting as my firewall/Router
[05:18] <^Einstein> lowlycoder: yeah, those include the proprietary codecs you're looking for.
[05:18] <Simkin> ^Einstein: is there a way to install the package from a cd?
[05:19] <^Einstein> Simkin: I don't beleive openSSH is on the liveCD
[05:19] <hammar66> hi, does anyone know of an app that will allow you to capture streaming webcams?
[05:19] <Simkin> :(
[05:19] <lowlycoder> ^Einstein: is the reinman hypothesis true? is P = NP? how wasw chatting with Godel back at Princeton?
[05:19] <^Einstein> Simkin: but if you're talking to me on IRC, then you can just download the .deb and put it on your Ubuntu box if you're not already on it.
[05:19] <KevDog> Whats in the gstreamer bad plugins?  Why are they called bad and the others good?
[05:19] <^Einstein> KevDog: proprietary versus open-source, mostly.
[05:19] <plcTowlie> Myst_ : http://www.funnestra.org/ubuntu/intrepid/ about halfway down
[05:20] <Simkin> ^Einstein: diff computer
[05:21] <Simkin> ^Einstein: trying to set one up from downstairs
[05:21] <histo> How do you perform a command line install with 8.04? Is it not possible? I don't want a server install.
[05:21] <fixius> hey guys, i need some help i have a AR2413 atheros card and i cant seem to get it to work can i get some help troubleshooting
[05:21] <Simkin> ^Einstein: and trying to get nat going.. but it seems that the monmotha script doesn't want to work for me in this scenario
[05:21] <Simkin> :(
[05:21] <evanbd> histo: use the "alternate" cd image
[05:21] <Simkin> be nice if i could ssh into it to see if it's working
[05:21] <histo> evanbd: and? its not an option on the 8.04 cd
[05:21] <Simkin> ^Einstein: ssh is one of those "must have" tools
[05:21] <Simkin> i find it weird it is not part of the default instlal!
[05:22] <^Einstein> Simkin: it is for servers, and the ssh client is installed by default iirc, but the openssh server is actually a liability on most standard desktops.
[05:22] <dicedealer> hi could somebody tell me how to exit the X Windows server so i can log in as root please?
[05:22] <evanbd> histo: you're using the "alternate" cd not the "desktop" one?
[05:23] <^Einstein> Simkin: unless your computer downstairs is without ethernet, USB, or CD ports/drives, you can get it on there just fine, as a .deb or whatever
[05:23] <Myst_> plcTowlie, sweet that was exactly what i was looking for
[05:23] <evanbd> dicedealer: that's probably a bad idea :)
[05:23] <histo> evanbd: yes
[05:23] <Simkin> ^Einstein: it doesn't have to be running by default, just installed by default.
[05:23] <histo> evanbd: i even tried hitting alt+F4 its not there on 8.04.1
[05:23] <dicedealer> i need to log in as root so i can install the latest nvidia drivers
[05:23] <Simkin> ^Einstein: isn't it possible to install it and not set it to any run level?
[05:23] <histo> evanbd: err F4 sry. To pull up the modes menu
[05:23] <dicedealer> but i dont know how to exit the GUI
[05:23] <evanbd> histo :/ I thought it was.  No idea then.
[05:23] <^Einstein> dicedealer: sudo apt-get will work fine. Try man apt-get to learn more.
[05:23] <histo> evanbd: Me too. I'm downloading 8.10 alternate now
[05:24] <ubd> who can help me to forward a port
[05:24] <evanbd> dicedealer: in general, anything you could do by logging in as root can be done with sudo more safely.
[05:24] <histo> evanbd: i think its missing on 8.04.1 but may be present on 8.04 alternate
[05:25] <dicedealer> when i tried running the autoinstaller with sudo for the drivers, it told me i must exit X windows before installing
[05:26] <dicedealer> does anybody know how i can log in as root please? im having trouble figuring out booting to command line
[05:27] <^Einstein> dicedealer: your package manager, Synaptic, should handle all that for you. Download and install the packages and then hit control-alt-backspace or restart to reset your X server session.
[05:27] <ReAn> you dont
[05:27] <[ka]killer> you shouldnt need root
[05:27] <ReAn> you log in as a user in an administrative role and sudo to do root commands
[05:27] <[ka]killer> or to be logged in as root
[05:27] <[ka]killer> yeah just use sudo
[05:27] <dicedealer> i tried that already it told me i must be logged in as root and that i must exit X before running the installer
[05:28] <[ka]killer> what are you trying to install?
[05:28] <dicedealer> latest nvidia drivers
[05:28] <Flannel> dicedealer: They aren't familiar with the way Ubuntu does things.  You do not need to be root, merely use sudo.
[05:28] <travisat> dicedealer: in command line sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:28] <^Einstein> dicedealer: ok then, drop to the root shell using the recovery option that exists by default in your GRUB boot menu.
[05:28] <dicedealer> *sighs* i have already tried using sudo
[05:28] <Flannel> dicedealer: It works fine with sudo.  Just be sure you stop X
[05:29] <dicedealer> thats what im trying to figure out what to do... how do i stop X?
[05:29] <Flannel> dicedealer: (ctrl-alt-f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop)
[05:29] <evanbd> dicedealer: ctrl + alt + Fn will get you a text-mode login prompt.  Login there *as your normal user*, then shut down the X server manually.
[05:29] <travisat> dicedealer: also I had lots of problems with booting in a regular command line and had to hack the rc2 to stop gdm from starting then boot recovery then init 2
[05:29] <dicedealer> and then to restart by typing start-x?
[05:30] <delly> how to install lampp
[05:30] <travisat> dicedealer: restart /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:30] <travisat> dicedealer: restart: /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:30] <travisat> err don't type restart
[05:30] <ubuntu_fan> hi guys
[05:31] <ubuntu_fan> wut d u think about a linux software directory
[05:31] <delly> how to install lampp
[05:31] <ubuntu_fan> will that be good or not?
[05:31] <ubuntu_fan> any ideas please?
[05:31] <Flannel> !lamp | delly
[05:31] <Flannel> ubuntu_fan: #ubuntu-offtopic would be an appropriate place to ask that; this channel is for support.
[05:31] <dicedealer> oooh cool... when i did ctrl alt f1, it gave me a terminal log in full screen
[05:32] <ubuntu_fan> thanks Flannel
[05:32] <dicedealer> when i typed exit it brought me back to X Windows
[05:33] <delly> i have installed xampp but this not working properly so polz help me
[05:34] <kreino> help, i have made changes in my synaptic server from default server to oscc server, but it didnt work n still downloading from default server? how come?
[05:34] <mabus> How can I query windows services remotely from ubuntu? Like, sc query equivalent.
[05:35] <NimbleRabit> Does anyone here use ventrilo with wine?  I'm having an odd problem where half the time I start the program my mic works and people can hear me, but I can't hear them.  The other half of the time vent starts I can't talk (it won't even let me press the PTT key) but I can hear others.
[05:36] <gverig> I'm confused... I'm trying to play with OpenGL and I want to try some 1.5 features. Is there GL 1.5 support on ubuntu? How to I get it? Mesa seems to be 1.3 only...
[05:36] <evanbd> ^Einstein Any other boot options worth trying?  Or other ideas?
[05:36] <plcTowlie> Nimble, I havnt tried it myself, but there's quite a few discussions about the state of ventrilo in wine.   The most recent thing I've seen is that it works, but only with certain speech codecs, and push to talk only works when your window is the focus
[05:36] <^Einstein> evanbd: I'm still looking, not much luck... one sec
[05:37] <taylor04> im having problems getting my wireless internet working, im using a dell 1501 with a broadcom 4311 wireless card, i installed the b43 driver and got wifi enabled but still having problems
[05:37] <^Einstein> evanbd, try this, perhaps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6430363&postcount=5
[05:37] <plcTowlie> the winehq page has a little blurb about it
[05:37] <cupcake_> Does ubuntu have a rc.conf file?
[05:37] <NimbleRabit> plcTowlie: yeah I've seen a lot a few of those posts, but I can't find my specific problem on any of them, and I've tried all the fixes I found
[05:37] <^Einstein> evanbd: those boot options worked for that guy for that kernel in Arch, might work for yours.
[05:38] <plcTowlie> might want to check you are using the latest wine update
[05:38] <WarriorSlayer> guys how can i make a initrd of my compiled kernel?

[05:39] <WarriorSlayer> radsy: i think the command don't exists
[05:39] <radsy> ok
[05:39] <taylor04> im having problems getting my wireless internet working, im using a dell 1501 with a broadcom 4311 wireless card, i installed the b43 driver and got wifi enabled but still having problems
[05:40] <^Einstein> WarriorSlayer: do `man initrd' and read the first two lines in the 'configuration' section at the top.
[05:41] <f_newton> I clicked on gnusound and the sytem restarted twice
[05:41] <evanbd> ^Einstein It looks like he just added acpi=off.  Am I missing something?
[05:42] <^Einstein> evanbd: he recompiled the DSDT file, that's what I was pointing to.
[05:42] <mobile___> hello everyone
[05:43] <evanbd> Ah, yes...  I don't know how to do that without a bootable linux :/
[05:43] <cupcake_> Does ubuntu have a rc.conf file? I'm looking for my current config
[05:43] <^Einstein> evanbd: you'd have to do it on another machine or another kernel. Have you tried using old kernels, for example with a KNOPPIX disc or some such?
[05:44] <evanbd> Not yet.
[05:44] <evanbd> The Debian 5.0 installer ran, but had the same problems when I did the post-install reboot.
[05:44] <ma5t3rw1tt> this is awsome. sittin here on my ipod touch talking wit ppl. its sweet.
[05:44] <^Einstein> well, I guess it's not a bad disc image, then, is it, evanbd. :-\
[05:45] <evanbd> Nope.  I've tried the xubuntu i386-desktop image, and also the ubuntu-i386-alternate.
[05:45] <wtv> what's the difference between ubuntu CD and DVD?
[05:46] <evanbd> Hmm.  Is there a way to boot the livecd in text only mode?
[05:47] <^Einstein> evanbd: yes, there's a recovery mode you can go into where you can drop to a root shell... one sec
[05:47]  * ^Einstein boots a livecd in a vm to refresh his memory
[05:48] <redvamp128> ^Einstein:  If you are booting-- then hit escape to get the extra boot options then choose recovery- if you at the login you could try the ctl-alt-f2 to then loginto prompt
[05:54] <paulo> Kde 4.2 está estável no ubuntu intrepid?
[05:54] <paulo> Tenho tido alguns problemas.
[05:55] <redvamp128> !es | paulo
[05:55] <paulo> Ok...
[05:55] <^Einstein> gracias, y lo siento
[05:55] <paulo> I've got some issues with kde4 in ubuntu intrepid. Is it stable or should I have to go back to kde 3.5?
[05:56] <redvamp128> paulo:  have you tried asking that in room #kubuntu or #kubuntu-es?
[05:56] <^Einstein> kde4 should be fine, paulo. What issues are you having?
[05:56] <paulo> What is the purpose of this IRC?
[05:57] <^Einstein> paulo: para ayudar gente como usted
[05:57] <^Einstein> pero nadie habla espanol aqui...
[05:57] <^Einstein> no nadie*
[05:57] <patmaddox> I've been installing packages with apt-get...if I start using aptitude instead, will there be any problems?
[05:57] <patmaddox> also, would I want to reinstall the packages with aptitude?  I've heard it manages dependencies better
[05:58] <paulo> My computer has: asus m2ln mobo, ati xpress 1650, atheros 5008 wifi adapter, 4gb ram and sometimes it hangs...
[05:58] <paulo> Some people say aptitude is better than apt-get.
[05:59] <patmaddox> paulo: I've already installed some packages with apt-get.  can I just switch to aptitude?
[06:01] <paulo> I think there will be no problems ... You are enabled to use aptitude without problems.
[06:01] <paulo> I've read that aptitude is easier to maintain system without garbage...
[06:03] <Ma5t3rw1tt> Hey everyone. How u all doing?
[06:03] <CentHOGG> hi
[06:03] <slide> Is there anyway to make a gnome panel not show up on a certain workspace? I have a VBox fullscreen and just don't want the panel to show up
[06:04] <paulo> ID 0ac8:c31d Z-Star Microelectronics Corp - does somebody now this web can?
[06:04] <eepberries> is there anyway to change the defualt video program? note: i don't want to change it for each file type, i want to change the default video player altogether
[06:04] <taylor04> im currently trying to figure out my wireless, when i do iwconfig and it says ESSID:"My_Essid", is this good or?
[06:05] <paulo> taylor04: what is the wifi card chipset? Is it atheros, intel, broadcom and so on ?
[06:05] <Ma5t3rw1tt> I have a question. I have an ubuntu bootable USB stick but I hardly have any space on it since it's a 1gig. Would there b anyway to move
[06:05] <f_newton> do you know the name of your wireless connection taylor04 ?  like linksys 2210 or 2wire234 ?
[06:05] <taylor04> paulo: broadcom 4311
[06:05] <crdlb> slide: the panel should stack below any fullscreen window
[06:05] <Ma5t3rw1tt> Apps and programs to another location?
[06:05] <redvamp128> eepberries:  you can find the file type -- right click on it and choose preferences then open with and change it there
[06:06] <taylor04> f_newton: spart if you mean the name of my router
[06:06] <eepberries> redvamp128: i just said i didn't want to do that. i want to change the default video player altogether
[06:06] <f_newton> thats the one
[06:06] <f_newton> thats your essid
[06:06] <paulo> If you are using linux, you shoud use ndiswrapper to control your card...
[06:06] <CentHOGG> taylor04: try this.... #iwconfig wlan0 essid "megadeth"
[06:06] <f_newton> what card?
[06:06] <f_newton> lol
[06:06] <eepberries> i know there must be some way to do it
[06:07] <taylor04> megadeth? lol
[06:07] <f_newton> ndiswrapper should be used if you need a windows driver to make it work
[06:07] <CentHOGG> see what happens
[06:07] <slide> crdlb, yea it does except sometimes it shows up
[06:07] <redvamp128> eepberries:  to change it system wide-- system- preferences then prefered applications
[06:07] <b1n42y> eepberries: preferences> preffered applications> media
[06:07] <taylor04> F_newton: i got the b43 driver
[06:07] <crdlb> slide: what window manager?
[06:07] <f_newton> oh lol sorry
[06:07] <slide> whatever comes with ubuntu
[06:08] <eepberries> redvamp128: actually i looked there, but it's screwy. for one thing, shouldn't there be different default apps for music and video?
[06:08] <eepberries> also, the default it shows there is not the program that loads when i open a video file
[06:08] <ma5t3rw1tt> I have a bootable ubuntu usb stick and i only have 1gig. I was wondering if I wanna install programs and things if I can install them maybe on a different flash drive, maybe have 1 flash drive which is my OS and another one to save files on?
[06:08] <b1n42y> eepberries: you can also install ubuntu tweak
[06:08] <Badboy_> Unable to delete files from trash what can I do?
[06:09] <crdlb> slide: visual effects or no?
[06:09] <Badboy_> it is showing Access Denied
[06:09] <f_newton> story of my life
[06:09] <f_newton> goodnight all... this will stay up but not me
[06:09] <maxagaz> is it possible (and easy) to log at the same time on a ldap account and on a local account ?
[06:09] <slide> crdlb, normal not extra
[06:09] <taylor04> any ideas to go about it? got the b43 driver, my network card can pick up my router through terminal, but when i disconnect and try to activate wireless thru network manager i get nothing
[06:09] <ma5t3rw1tt> Anyone?
[06:10] <redvamp128> Badboy_:  try this page [ubuntu] file in the trash, not in the gksudo nautilus trash, can't delete it! - Ubuntu Forums <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813861>
[06:10] <crdlb> slide: basically the same thing, just different plugins enabled
[06:10] <Badboy_> Thanks crdlb
[06:10] <Badboy_> and thanks redvamp128
[06:11] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: i would guess you need to setup a link .. not sure how though
[06:11] <CentHOGG> taylor04: ok, what do you see in the GUI network config?  the NIC?
[06:11] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: i think its called sym link (symbolic)
[06:12] <taylor04> centhogg: nic? sorry im pretty new to ubuntu
[06:12] <ma5t3rw1tt> @b1n42y: Thats what I was thinking. But how would I install a program from lets say Synaptic or something onto another storage device?
[06:12] <CentHOGG> taylor04: the wireless adapter
[06:12] <plcTowlie> nic = network interface card
[06:12] <woody86> does anyone know if there's an easy way to make the calender week in Ubuntu start on Monday instead of Sunday?
[06:13] <ma5t3rw1tt> @b1n42y: So lets say I wanted to install VLC player, but not install it on the stick that has my OS but wanna install it on another 1gig flash drive that I have, but leave that flash drive connected, how would I go about doing that?
[06:13] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: im guessing if you set the link up it will store it in wherever you set the link too, maybe even add it to a config file also, no idea how though, google if no answers come here after youve waited for a bit
[06:13] <taylor04> oh let me try this
[06:14] <shavin> i might be just imagining it, but i think the sound of my songs are lower in quality when i play them on ubuntu as compared to vista. Can something be dome regarding this?
[06:14] <plcTowlie> ma5t3rw1tt: you can get a much bigger usb drive for a pretty reasonable price these days.  might be worth the money to not have to struggle with that issue
[06:15] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: also it would be the bin file that you are linking, not sure if ubuntu will like that
[06:15] <ma5t3rw1tt> p1cTowlie: Well at the moment I am kinda low on money, thats why I am trying what resources I have at the moment
[06:15] <b1n42y> plcTowlie: AGREES
[06:15] <Iron_Chef> hi,
[06:15] <Iron_Chef> where do I change the brown screen when X starts up to something else?
[06:15] <Iron_Chef> (not the login screen, just the brown blank screen)
[06:15] <taylor04> so on the network device it was on lo, i switched it to wlan0 and it says not available, i switch it to wlan0 avahi and it gives me some feedback
[06:16] <ma5t3rw1tt> b1n42y: Do you have any idea on how I would download something onto another storage device from synaptic?
[06:16] <tlacaelel> I installed 8.10 alternate i386, and it installed just fine.  But the screen is all chopped up.  Any ideas?
[06:16] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: also maybe it involves setting up a seperate partion on that othe usb and calling it \bin
[06:16] <ma5t3rw1tt> b1n42y: So instead of it downloading like where it normally goes, it would be elsewhere?
[06:17] <redvamp128> Iron_Chef:  Ubuntu Tweak Ubuntu Tweak--Let's tweak ubuntu! <http://ubuntu-tweak.com/>
[06:17] <ma5t3rw1tt> hmmmmm
[06:17] <tlacaelel> b1n42y: do you have experience with this?
[06:17] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: i know what your talking about, i have been giving you ideas on what to search for on google as noone here seems to know at the moment
[06:17] <taylor04> CentHOGG:so on the network device it was on lo, i switched it to wlan0 and it says not available, i switch it to wlan0 avahi and it gives me some feedback
[06:18] <ma5t3rw1tt> b1n42y: And yes your ideas are helpin, just trying to figure this out. I am sure something so simple as this can b done
[06:18] <Iron_Chef> redvamp128, i'd rather just change the relevant config file, than install a 3rd party app (looks good though)
[06:18] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: thats why i suggested the bin partition
[06:19] <taylor04> anyone got any ideas on how to go about setting up my wireless?
[06:19] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: ubuntu might handle the rest automatically
[06:19] <ma5t3rw1tt> b1n42y: would that screw up my bootable OS from the usb stick it boots from?
[06:19] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: i would assume so without any additionaly tweaks
[06:20] <ma5t3rw1tt> hmmmmm this is so simple but yet a hard answer :P
[06:20] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: i was thinking from scratch approach
[06:21] <ma5t3rw1tt> b1n42y: I rather not have to go through setting all this up again. I booted into Windows at the moment. I am just trying to figure things out
[06:21] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: any file (folder) such as bin where programs are kept can have its own partition so during install ... would be easiest without knowledge of additional tweaks needed
[06:21] <cousin_luigi> hello
[06:22] <cousin_luigi> any way to see the temperature of my 9800gt using lm-sensors?
[06:22] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: try google... or come back later :)
[06:22] <kompi07> ?
[06:22] <ma5t3rw1tt> b1n42y: Well its not like this is a dual boot or whatever, Ubuntu 8.10 is installed on a 1gig USB Flash Drive.
[06:22] <ma5t3rw1tt> Anyway I'll search around on google & the forums
[06:22] <ma5t3rw1tt> Thanks!!!!
[06:22] <eepberries> no offense but why not just buy a bigger flash drive
[06:23] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: no probs sorry couldnt help more
[06:23] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: Waiting 4 some money 2 come in firstly.
[06:23] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: Thinking just buying a bigger flash drive so I can have something nice and portable. THE POWER OF LINUX IN THE PALM OF MY PORTABLE DRIVE lol
[06:23] <eepberries> do you have anything like an ipod
[06:24] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: iPod Touch is all I have
[06:24] <eepberries> do you use it?
[06:24] <b1n42y> ma5t3rw1tt: you can pickup 16gb for 49 AUD, but yeah i know whats its like when cash no ere, ere no cash
[06:24] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: iPod Touch is different cause it don't allow you to access the filesystem without jailbreaking it
[06:24] <nomingzi> I am installing a program (extract from .tar.gz) and I execute it (  ./program-install.pl  ) and then it prompt me that the program couldn't find the "make" program in my system ? why is that so? is it the gcc compiler is not installed ?
[06:25] <eepberries> ma5t3rw1tt: can't you just reformat it
[06:25] <eper3z> can any1 help me with a dual screen issue?
[06:25] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: Even then you can't use it as a hard drive or boot anything because its designed different
[06:25] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: Its not like your normal iPods out there, its different for a reason.
[06:26] <eepberries> well anyway, you can get 4gig flash drives for like 10 to 15 dollars
[06:26] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: Yeah, I hope here soon I'll be getting my tax return, then I'll be getting some :D
[06:27] <eepberries> ma5t3rw1tt: why can't you install ubuntu on your hard drive though?
[06:27] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: Cause I want something portable that I can take to computer to computer
[06:27] <TruthTaco> ive installed KDE via add/remove but how do i turn it on?
[06:27] <homeskill> how can i add songs to my 2nd generation ipod nano with ubuntu?
[06:27] <eepberries> TruthTaco: you select a KDE session at the login menu
[06:28] <eepberries> so if you want to use it, log out, then select KDE under sessions at the login menu
[06:28] <TruthTaco> well i tried that once, but it still looked exactly like gnome
[06:28] <ma5t3rw1tt> eepberries: That way I can learn linux more and have something portable at the sametime
[06:28] <eepberries> TruthTaco: what did you select
[06:28] <TruthTaco> the only one that said KDE
[06:28] <eepberries> well i don't know
[06:29] <eepberries> i only use xfce and gnome
[06:29] <TruthTaco> lemme go try again
[06:29] <TruthTaco> brb
[06:29] <tlacaelel> anyone?  8.10 i386 install on an AMD Athlon is giving me chopped visuals.  I can barely see what is on the screen.
[06:29] <eepberries> tlacaelel: what kind of video card do you have
[06:29] <ma5t3rw1tt> @eepberries & b1n42y: Thank you 2 for all your help.
[06:29] <eepberries> no problem
[06:29] <ma5t3rw1tt> I am off to bed everyone, nite
[06:29] <tlacaelel> ati radeon
[06:29] <eepberries> radeon what
[06:30] <tlacaelel> holdon I check
[06:30] <anti_theocon> like that you mena?
[06:30] <eepberries> anti_theocon: ?
[06:30] <tlacaelel> eepberries: ATI Radeon IGP320M shared
[06:31] <c_webkit> any one can help me with the lib soup community
[06:31] <Huufarted> Can anybody tell me why my "Add user" button is removed in the users and groups editor in Gnome?
[06:31] <rsc___> :)
[06:31] <eepberries> tlacaelel: have you ever tried using ubuntu before?
[06:31] <eepberries> with this same computer i mean
[06:32] <Huufarted> nevermind, I found my own answer.  I'm half retarded, that's all.  The other half ain't none too smart, either.
[06:32] <tlacaelel> no... I installed 8.04 and it worked just fine... but my laptop's backlight is out so I'm trying to get it to work with an external monitor.
[06:32] <eepberries> so you used 8.04 with the same computer before and it worked fine?
[06:32] <tlacaelel> I figured 8.10 might detect the external monitor for me
[06:32] <tlacaelel> eepberries: yes
[06:32] <eepberries> is it jus the external monitor that's looking weird?
[06:32] <eper3z> im having monitor issues as well!
[06:33] <eper3z> :x
[06:33] <tlacaelel> both the 86
[06:33] <eepberries> so both the laptop monitor and the external are looking weird/
[06:33] <NimbleRabit> fixed my vent problem =D
[06:33] <eepberries> ?
[06:33] <tlacaelel> eepberries: it isn't even sending it to the external monitor.  I wish it would, so I could see what's going on without peering into the laptop screen with a flashlight, lol.
[06:34] <tlacaelel> eepberries: 8.04 wouldn't send it to the external monitor either
[06:34] <eepberries> well yeah, dual monitoring is tricky in linux
[06:34] <eepberries> i don't really know anything about that myself, but you have to go out of your way to do it
[06:34] <eepberries> but anyway, i guess it could be a driver issue
[06:34] <tlacaelel> eepberries: issok.  is there a way to ssh into the ubuntu machine to try and fix settings from my osx machine?
[06:35] <eepberries> yeah
[06:35] <eepberries> hang on a sec
[06:35] <hitman1985> x-ip: alright, that didnt work :) now not even vista boots :)
[06:35] <tlacaelel> do I need the ubuntu machine's ip address?  I wonder how to get that without a working screen...
[06:35] <eepberries> tlacaelel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
[06:35] <eepberries> read that first of all
[06:35] <eepberries> i think that should have all the info you need
[06:36] <eepberries> it's really easy though
[06:36] <tlacaelel> thx!! :D
[06:36] <x-ip> hitman1985: it has to be fixed
[06:36] <x-ip> hitman1985: surely u did something wrong
[06:36] <eepberries> but basically
[06:37] <hitman1985> x-ip: first thing that is wrong is ubuntu not automaticly creating that like in 8.04 if that was there, i wouldnt be stuck
[06:37] <eepberries> i think all you'll have to do is install openenssh-server then i think you don't really have to do anything after that
[06:37] <x-ip> hitman1985: it creates that automatically :S
[06:37] <x-ip> surely u first installed ubuntu and then vista, right ?!
[06:37] <eepberries> aside from logging into the ubuntu computer using its local ip address
[06:37] <hitman1985> x-ip: no vista then ubuntu
[06:38] <x-ip> hmm ....
[06:38] <kreino> redvamp128,  help, i have made changes in my synaptic server from default server to oscc server, but it didnt work n still downloading from default server? how come?
[06:39] <eepberries> kreino: what are you trying to do
[06:39] <hitman1985> x-ip: i was tryin to assign / to the ext3 partition of ubuntu, then swap is swap of corse and the vista partition is now set as not used, but if i enable mount point windows, nothing can be written ... error
[06:39] <ZeZu> when i copy a file to a  usb drive with X it stops and complains about an IO error after its copied a good ammount
[06:39] <ZeZu> if i copy it via cli,  i have no trouble,  whats with that ?
[06:40] <x-ip> hitman1985: :S
[06:40] <kreino> eepberries, i try to change download server... in my synaptic source
[06:40] <hitman1985> x-ip: that isnt funny :(
[06:40] <ZeZu> it also removes the disk from the system as if it doesn't exist
[06:40] <eepberries> download what server
[06:40] <x-ip> hitman1985: hmmm i cannot guide u to fix that ... u need someone with knowledge to fix it
[06:41] <x-ip> if u want i can try to fix it by ssh
[06:41] <hitman1985> x-ip: i guess i can just kiss my vista partition good bye and just format the whole deal :(
[06:41] <x-ip> thats mean access to ur machine with security shell
[06:41] <eepberries> hitman1985: are you not able to run windows?
[06:42] <x-ip> hitman1985: :(
[06:42] <hitman1985> i m not able to run anything anymore
[06:42] <kreino> em.. by default.. when i add something software.. it will be downloaded from default server...ubuntu intpred.. but i hacve made change into OSCC server... but i woldnt be?
[06:42] <eepberries> hitman1985: so you can't load ubutun or anything?
[06:42] <kreino> eepberries,  em.. by default.. when i add something software.. it will be downloaded from default server...ubuntu intpred.. but i hacve made change into OSCC server... but i woldnt be?
[06:42] <hitman1985> eepberries: only via live session
[06:42] <x-ip> hitman1985: i'm sorry :S, 'boot problems' needs some knowledge to be fixed
[06:43] <eepberries> hitman1985: what did you do to screw things up?
[06:43] <kreino> eepberries, it still downloads from default server , not OSCC server..i dont know how to do yet
[06:43] <hitman1985> eepberries: installed ubuntu i guess
[06:43] <eepberries> kreino: sorry i don't know anything about that
[06:43] <eepberries> hitman1985: well you first installed ubuntu then windows vista right?
[06:43] <hitman1985> eepberries: i installed just like always and it just didnt boot :(
[06:43] <eepberries> were you ever able to run anything after installing vista?
[06:43] <hitman1985> were yeah
[06:43] <hitman1985> but i want to have dual boot
[06:44] <eepberries> so you can load vista but not ubuntu?
[06:44] <hitman1985> eepberries: nothing loads anymore :)
[06:44] <eepberries> and that happened after installing vista right?
[06:45] <brrrrrradical> could somebody please help me set up file sharing between my ubuntu desktop and my wireless xp laptop ?
[06:45] <illumin8_> you can manage the disk while vista is installed, shrink its size down and install ubuntu on the largest contiguious area.
[06:45] <hitman1985> eepberries: the only thing vista dvd shows during "attempt" to repair boot part of vista, is that my 3rd hdd supposely has the bootpartition and doesnt fix it
[06:45] <kreino> eepberries, i have updated my ubuntu.. from kernel ...11 to kernel ...27, but on bootscreen menu, the old kernel still be shown.. how to delete it from that menulist?
[06:45] <eepberries> kreino: sorry i don't know
[06:46] <eepberries> hitman1985: try loading the ubuntu setup and see what partitions it recognizes
[06:46] <hitman1985> eepberries: it recognizes :
[06:46] <illumin8_> kreino, edit grub and change whats there, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:46] <eepberries> hitman1985: i wouldn't be terribly surprised if reinstalling ubuntu (without deleting or messing with the vista partitions) fixed the problem
[06:47] <eepberries> ubuntu should be default install grub and configure it to load windows
[06:47] <hitman1985> eepberries: should, but isnt, heres the list :
[06:47] <kreino> ok in try illumin8
[06:47] <Nytrix> _g, test
[06:47] <illumin8_> kreino, whats listed after title is simply that, it can be altered to reflect the new kernel.
[06:47] <Nytrix> _GoRDoN_, test
[06:48] <hitman1985> eepberries: gimme 5 mins , gonna go back to setup and write them down to make sure :)
[06:48] <illumin8_> hitman1985, did you see my previous message on the proper way to install vista and ubuntu?
[06:49] <DMZ_> hi
[06:49] <DMZ_> iam a windows user and thinking of switching to ubuntu
[06:49] <kreino> illumin8, may i know, what differences between kernel...7 and kernel...11?
[06:49] <DMZ_> how is it better than windows?
[06:49] <eepberries> DMZ_: it isn't
[06:50] <eepberries> it's an alternative
[06:50] <illumin8_> kreino, i am not fimilar with the advances in kernels sorry, but generally they include a better ability to process data.
[06:50] <eepberries> both have their strong point and weaknesses
[06:50] <b1n42y> DMZ_: google linux vs windwos
[06:50] <kreino> oh i c.. illumin8
[06:50] <Incarus> DMZ_, no viruses, secure
[06:51] <illumin8_> DMZ_, there are many reasons to move to linux from windows, one being that its cost is much more reasonable (where applicabale)
[06:51] <b1n42y> eepberries: its better in so many ways .. cant believe you said its an alternative
[06:51] <eepberries> oh please
[06:51] <eepberries> it's just an OS
[06:51] <DMZ_> Incarus: but i can make my windows that secure but there are alot of stuff that i can do under windows that i can't under linux
[06:51] <eepberries> just like xp, vista, mac os, and unix
[06:52] <eepberries> they all have strong point and weaknesses
[06:52] <brrrrrradical> yay the network's working :D
[06:52] <xiroV> Anyone had problems with the ubuntushop lately?
[06:52] <kreino> illumin8, i hav made change in my synaptic source server... from default to http://mirror.oscc.org.my/ubuntu/.... but when i add software  at add/remove software, it doesnt work.. still download from the default server?
[06:52] <eepberries> DMZ_: one of the main advantages of linux is that it's extremely customizable, though at the same time it can make using linux a bit harder
[06:52] <illumin8_> DMZ_, you actually cant make your windows as secure as linux, because the operating system itself is diffirent. along with the fact there are more windows users so its exploted more often.
[06:54] <brrrrrradical> umm quick question ... maybe not relevant to this channel but hopefully someone might know... why is it that when i try to access my lappy on win7 it asks for a username and pass ... but on ubuntu it connected automatically?
[06:54] <DMZ_> but i use alot of applications under windows that i can't find under linux even if i found some i find it really complicated to compile tar balls can't it be as easy as windows?
[06:54] <b1n42y> eepberries: how about security, malware, spyware, trojans, worms, cost, open source free software, abillity to run must have windows applications under wine or emulate windows from within linux  etc etc etc
[06:54] <Incarus> brrrrrradical, yes
[06:54] <xiroV> When i make an order in the ubuntu shop, some days later, i get a mail that says that my order will be refunded.. Anyone knows why?
[06:54] <TruthTaco> how do i uninstall something i installed manually (from tarball)
[06:54] <illumin8_> DMZ_, there are helper tools in linux that would allow a less difficult change over, one for example would be wine.
[06:54] <Incarus> brrrrrradical, you can change this setting in ubuntu
[06:54] <eepberries> b1n42y: how about stop being such a fanboy
[06:54] <brrrrrradical> Incarus: i want to change it in win7!
[06:54] <illumin8_> DMZ_, again, they are not flawless and would present thier own challanges.
[06:55] <Incarus> brrrrrradical, oh, not in ubuntu chat
[06:55] <brrrrrradical> Incarus: i live in the middle of nowhere ... i dont need a username and pass
[06:55] <b1n42y> eepberries: not a fanboy just being factual
[06:55] <DMZ_> illumin8: but i just couldn't install a single tarballs after searching for all types of help everywhere
[06:55] <eepberries> please
[06:55] <brrrrrradical> Incarus: is there a chat u know off hand related to win7 or windows networking?
[06:55] <xTheGoat121x> Hi all... I've just installed Intrepid for the first time on my laptop... with previous versions, I was able to use my left/right scroll as back/forward in Firefox... but I can't figure out how to do that in Intrepid
[06:55] <b1n42y> anyway this isnt the place like i said google linux vs windows
[06:55] <eepberries> to claim that viruses and maleware are a serious threat to a half-intelligent windows user is like saying you'll get cancer from smoking a single cigarette
[06:56] <illumin8_> DMZ_, just like learning to use windows, you would need to learn proper methods here in linux. as i said, each has challanges.
[06:56] <Incarus> brrrrrradical, http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2007/02/20/configure-vista-for-automatic-logon/
[06:56] <eepberries> yes, linux is generally more secure, but at the same time it has a much steeper learning curve, is a bit more finnicky, and takes more effort to use
[06:56] <eepberries> that's not to say it isn't worth it though
[06:56] <brrrrrradical> Incarus: thanks ...  i will reboot and try ... god bless u :P
[06:56] <TruthTaco> how do i uninstall something i installed via tarball?
[06:56] <eepberries> but linux is by no means a perfect operating system
[06:56] <illumin8_> yet :)
[06:56] <DMZ_> illumin8: but just a month ago what pissed me off what a computer science friend of mine couldn't install a tar ball as well plus it doesn't recognize my ntfs backup drive
[06:57] <hitman1985> eepberries: sda, sda1 - ntfs , sda5 - ext3, sda6 - swap
[06:57] <TruthTaco> linux is far from perfect
[06:57] <eepberries> hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu?
[06:57] <hitman1985> eepberries: sdb, sdb1 - ntfs   ; sdc, adc1 - ntfs
[06:57] <b1n42y> eepberries: thats just when your new to it... anyway ... agrees on its not perfect
[06:57] <eepberries> hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu?
[06:57] <hitman1985> eepberries: yea it dont change a thing
[06:57] <Incarus> eepberries, linux is near perfect, the cia + fbi, nasa, nsa ... use it
[06:57] <eepberries> Incarus: yeah sure, it's near perfect for servers
[06:58] <eepberries> but the year of linux on the desktop is many, many years away
[06:58] <Incarus> eepberries, no, decryption, cracking, sniffing
[06:58] <b1n42y> eepberries: roflmao
[06:58] <eepberries> aka stuff that you don't need a gui for
[06:58] <illumin8_> DMZ_, i assume you used ubuntu durring your complications, note that here in ubuntu .deb packages are closer designed to work well in this environment.
[06:58] <hitman1985> eepberries: it looks to me like the boot stuff is way off the hook
[06:58] <eepberries> hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu since this happened or not
[06:58] <Incarus> eepberries, and is mac better?#
[06:58] <illumin8_> DMZ_, but yes. not everything will go as you plan in linux without digging for the right methods, and in some cases making the methods yourself.
[06:59] <hitman1985> eepberries: yes, i ve tried multiple times, the only thing the windows repair assistant can unveil is that supposely my data hdd has the bootmanager installed but not any other partition
[06:59] <DMZ_> illumin8: but the thing is that i can't find the application i need to use in the application manager so i tend to download tarballs which is a bombball
[06:59] <eepberries> hitman1985: the problem is that windows installation has a nasty habit of screwing things up when you're trying to dual boot
[07:00] <hitman1985> eepberries: with 8.04 never was an issue :(
[07:00] <illumin8_> DMZ_, if you dont mind me asking what applciation did you have problems with?
[07:00] <darph> hi, i can't change file permissions with sudo chmod    or ownership with sudo chown
[07:00] <eepberries> hitman1985: it has nothing to do with ubuntu, it has to do with windows installation installing its own boot loader
[07:00] <DMZ_> illumin8: vlc but under mandriva not ubuntu really
[07:00] <DMZ_> illumin8: and kismet too
[07:01] <eepberries> hitman1985: also, when you reinstall ubuntu, can you load it then?
[07:01] <eepberries> completely forgetting about vista i mean
[07:01] <Incarus> eepberries, and is mac better?
[07:01] <illumin8_> DMZ_, im on crunchbang as we speak, out of the box its working excellent its based on 8.10. perhaps you would test it yourself or use 8.10 32 bit to see if it includes what you would need.
[07:01] <hitman1985> eepberries: no its not loadable
[07:01] <eepberries> Incarus: mac is for idiots
[07:02] <b1n42y> hitman1985: you need to fix mbr if your planning to start from scratch
[07:06] <b1n42y> seema wolfe.freenode went down :)
[07:07] <maxagaz> as soon as enter the login, it returns 'incorrect login', what wrong with my system ?
[07:07] <DMZ_> ok
[07:07] <maxagaz> as soon as enter the login, it returns 'incorrect login', what wrong with my system ?
[07:07] <Incarus> eepberries, windows boot manager and grub annoying each other
[07:07] <eepberries> Incarus: probably, but reinstalling ubuntu should overwrite anything windows did right? at least that's been my experience
[07:07] <DMZ_> illumin8: i was using unetbootin but it gives me an error message like this try (hd0.0):EXT2:
[07:07] <Incarus> maxagaz, your password is wrong, check keyboard map
[07:07] <illumin8_> DMZ_, there are a number of functional methods for installing duel boots. some would be network installs, livecds, usb driven boots.
[07:07] <illumin8_> DMZ_, but again, there are challanges with each
[07:07] <Incarus> eepberries, ho, did hi reinstall ubuntu over windows?
[07:07] <maxagaz> Incarus, keyborad map ?
[07:07] <eepberries> Incarus: i don't think so. i'm not entirely sure on the details
[07:07] <Incarus> maxagaz, special keys and so on
[07:07] <xie041> no
[07:07] <plsd> DMZ_, it would probably be less of a hassle to buy a cd drive. a dvd drive costs like 20 euros new, I'm sure you'll get a cd drive really cheap
[07:08] <hitman1985> i had installed vista ultimate 64 bit last week :)
[07:08] <Incarus> eepberries,k, i would do a ram check, and overwrite mbr and something like this
[07:08] <hitman1985> then ubuntu 8.10 today
[07:08] <hitman1985> after install ALL bootloader activity stopped
[07:08] <Incarus> hitman1985, over vista, or dualboot?
[07:08] <hitman1985> nothing boots besides a live cd :(
[07:08] <DMZ_> plsd: iam considering a new labtop rather than fixing everything in my old one it's a 512 of rams lol
[07:08] <hitman1985> Incarus: besides vista
[07:08] <Incarus> hitman1985, k
[07:08] <hitman1985> Incarus: resized a 500gb :)
[07:08] <illumin8_> hitman1985, vistas bootloader overwrites the mbr, so grub wont work.
[07:09] <maxagaz> Incarus, when i try 'passwd myusername', it returns: authentification token manipulation error
[07:09] <eepberries> illumin8_: he installed ubuntu after installing windows
[07:09] <Incarus> hitman1985, boot a live cd and remove grub or remove windows boot manager
[07:09] <hitman1985> vistas loader seems to be on each hdd here, i got 3 hdds connected and vista repair disc detects a bootloader on E (data hdd)
[07:09] <error404notfound> I want to install postfix BUT I have rkhunter which depends on exim, what should I do?
[07:09] <darph> hi, i can't change file permissions with sudo chmod    or ownership with sudo chown
[07:09] <hitman1985> Incarus: im on live cd :)
[07:09] <illumin8_> eepberries, thanks i missed the order.
[07:09] <Incarus> darph, try "sudo chmod 777 file"
[07:10] <hitman1985> Incarus: i dont have more systems in my house then one sorry :)
[07:10] <darph> Incarus, tried it.. doesn't change
[07:10] <Incarus> k
[07:10] <Am3ndment> Good morning everybody, today when i started my computer, i cant get to X. I can't remember doing any changes yesterday. Heh, any ideas :)
[07:10] <Incarus> hitman1985,  remove grub in linux
[07:11] <Incarus> hitman1985,  then it should work
[07:11] <hitman1985> Incarus: how so? readme or such
[07:11] <darph> Incarus, i've even tried gksudo nautilus and changing it.. but no use.. it reverts back to original file permission
[07:11] <Incarus> hitman1985,  ?
[07:11] <eepberries> hitman1985: one thing to be cautious of is the vista repair disc itself. i don't know if this is the case with vista's, but my xp will destroy my boot sector whenever i use the repair mode or whatever it was called
[07:11] <puzanov> Am3ndment: see x11 logs
[07:11] <hitman1985> Incarus: i dont know scuad about this stuff :)
[07:11] <Incarus> darph, yeah, thats a problem, which ubuntu?
[07:11] <Incarus> hitman1985,k
[07:11] <bullgard4> What is the preferred Ubuntu audio conference program?
[07:11] <darph> Incarus, 8.10
[07:11] <Incarus> hitman1985, mount your linux partition
[07:12] <puzanov> Am3ndment: vim /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:12] <Incarus> darph, try to update your system, could be a bug
[07:12] <illumin8_> eepberries, good thinking about how grub could have been whiped :)
[07:12] <Am3ndment> puzanov: where they was, /var/log ?
[07:12] <Am3ndment> thanks
[07:12] <Incarus> eepberries, good idea
[07:12] <Incarus> eepberries, he can repair his mbr under linux live cd
[07:12] <entrooo> anybody here use audacious?
[07:13] <eepberries> again, i don't know if the vista disc does that, but there isn't any reason to be using it anyway
[07:13] <hitman1985> Incarus: i got the 1 100 gb here which should be ubuntu, for some reason in the live cd my main partition (300gb_ vista) isnt even showin, but push that back, volume loeded
[07:13] <puzanov> Eneloop: yep
[07:13] <illumin8_> eepberries, recovery mode will indeed whipe the grubs mbr, you are 100 percent accurate
[07:13] <Incarus> hitman1985, how old is the live cd?
[07:13] <illumin8_> eepberries, erm sorry whipe grub from the mpr.
[07:13] <hitman1985> about 10 mins
[07:14] <eepberries> yeah i thought sot
[07:14] <hitman1985> oh about 3 hrs :) since i burnd it :)
[07:14] <Incarus> hitman1985, k, vista got a new file system
[07:14] <puzanov> entrooo: I'a using it for creating my podcasts
[07:14] <entrooo> have you had trouble with it crashing after streaming for a while?
[07:14] <Incarus> hitman1985, one moment
[07:14] <b1n42y> maxagaz: make sure capslock is off, then username enter then password enter
[07:14] <puzanov> entrooo: nope
[07:14] <puzanov> entrooo: works well for me
[07:14] <hitman1985> Incarus: isnt there a way to remote into this machine from somewhere, i m really not the bst person to mess with bootloaders :)
[07:14] <entrooo> mine keeps crashing, however I'm on a bad dsl connection
[07:15] <entrooo> so that might be the problem
[07:15] <entrooo> the stream keeps stopping and starting and then the program crashes
[07:15] <Incarus> hitman1985, i wouldnt do that
[07:15] <hitman1985> Incarus: kk :)
[07:15] <Incarus> hitman1985, which partition is linux (the installed), sda2?
[07:15] <illumin8_> hitman1985, using the livecd is your best option, and incarus is just the person to walk you through it :)
[07:16] <Incarus> illumin8_, yeah
[07:16] <hitman1985> Incarus: how to see that from here
[07:16] <DMZ_> is putting a dot at the bigining of folders hide it?
[07:16] <Incarus> hitman1985, look in gparted
[07:16] <hitman1985> Incarus: i got sda 5 +6 (5-ext3 and 6 - swap
[07:16] <eepberries> DMZ_: yeah
[07:16] <illumin8_> DMZ_, in a way, ctr+h while in the folder would show it.
[07:16] <Am3ndment> puzanov: heh, i get "no screen found" error
[07:17] <illumin8_> DMZ_, and also rehide it.
[07:17] <Incarus> hitman1985, sda5
[07:17] <DMZ_> illumin8: so will the dot hide it from the gui too?
[07:17] <puzanov> entrooo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious/+bug/244208
[07:17] <hitman1985> Incarus:  ohhhh i cc now :) gparted is still here :)
[07:17] <Incarus> hitman1985, mount it
[07:17] <illumin8_> DMZ_, correct, open your home folder and try ctrl+h you can see it in action.
[07:17] <eepberries> DMZ_: the dot is just a way of knowing that a folder is hidden when you're looking at it in the command line
[07:18] <hitman1985> Incarus: its mounted (thats what gparted says)
[07:18] <DMZ_> so is there a way to password protect folders?
[07:18] <entrooo> puzanov: what does it mean when my audacious goes grey?
[07:18] <Incarus> hitman1985, enter "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"
[07:19] <puzanov> entrooo: hmm.. seems that it freezes
[07:19] <hitman1985> Incarus: it says couldnt find device ,,,
[07:19] <Incarus> hitman1985, k
[07:19] <Incarus> hitman1985, wait
[07:19] <hitman1985> brb running to p real quick :) 1 min
[07:20] <Am3ndment> puzanov: is there way to linux write new xorg.conf?
[07:20] <Am3ndment> = i got "No screen found" error, even tho there is entry of screen
[07:20] <mikorn2> Brother printers on 8.10? Anyone? Bueller?
[07:20] <int256> i installed ubuntu with 4gb swap.
[07:20] <darph> Incarus, is there a known bug that does not allow changing file permissions?
[07:20] <Incarus> hitman1985, enter "sudo grub" in a terminal
[07:20] <int256> then i tried to install windows xp.
[07:21] <Incarus> darph, dont know, it is a bug
[07:21] <eepberries> int256: uh oh
[07:21] <puzanov> Am3ndment: yes, what video driver do you use?
[07:21] <int256> in windows xp i formatted swap
[07:21] <hitman1985> Incarus: grub>
[07:21] <Am3ndment> intel GMA 950
[07:21] <eepberries> int256: let me guess, you can't load linux now right
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> !grub
[07:21] <int256> and all my other drives are gone. pls help
[07:21] <puzanov> Am3ndment: any driver has its own set of tools
[07:21] <Am3ndment> hmh, where can i find it?
[07:21] <int256> i want my other drives back. with data.
[07:21] <eepberries> int256: what drives are gone? in what?
[07:22] <Incarus> hitman1985, "root (hd0,2)"
[07:22] <eepberries> int256: so, you overwrote your linux swap partition to install windows xp right?
[07:22] <int256> eepberries: yes
[07:22] <eepberries> int256: so what's the problem you're having
[07:22] <puzanov> Am3ndment: what video card vendor you have on the box? nvidia? radeon? intel?
[07:22] <hitman1985> Incarus: error no such partition
[07:22] <Incarus> hitman1985, k
[07:22] <Incarus> hitman1985, "root (hd0,1)"
[07:23] <Am3ndment> Intel
[07:23] <int256> eepberries: the other partitions are not showing up on windows. or linux
[07:23] <Am3ndment> puzanov: intel and i use i810 drivers
[07:23] <illumin8_> Incarus, if hes got linux on sda5 wouldtn it be (hd0,4)?
[07:23] <hitman1985> Incarus: that seemd to have not thrown an erro
[07:23] <eepberries> int256: which other partitions? unrelated partitions, or linux partitions?
[07:23] <hitman1985> Incarus: it just went back to grub>
[07:23] <Incarus> illumin8_, dont know, i dont like grub
[07:23] <int256> eepberries: unrelated partitions
[07:24] <Incarus> hitman1985, "root (hd0,4)"
[07:24] <hitman1985> Incarus: that did the same
[07:24] <int256> eepberries: with movies and games and softwares for linux.
[07:24] <eepberries> int256: well the fact that you can load linux at all is weird. installing windows xp generally overwrites grub, making your linux installation inaccesible
[07:24] <hitman1985> Incarus: right back to grub>
[07:24] <illumin8_> hitman1985, good :)
[07:24] <Incarus> illumin8_, was wrong
[07:24] <Incarus> hitman1985, "root (hd0,6)"
[07:25] <int256> eepberries: ok, i want my partitions to show up in windows.
[07:25] <eepberries> int256: do they show up in ubuntu?
[07:25] <Incarus> hitman1985, have yoi got 2 hds?
[07:25] <int256> eepberries: no
[07:25] <puzanov> Am3ndment: hmm, cant remember any tool for intel, but you can try this: X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
[07:25] <hitman1985> Incarus: how about 3 :)
[07:25] <illumin8_> hitman1985, lol that explains it :)
[07:25] <eepberries> int256: well, if you're lucky all that's happened is your mbr is messed up and has lost the partitions, which can be recovered
[07:25] <Incarus> hitman1985, on which of them is ubuntu? on the second?
[07:26] <hitman1985> Incarus: first (sda)
[07:26] <puzanov> Am3ndment: after that you can replace xorg.conf with new generated file and reboot x-server
[07:26] <hitman1985> Incarus: u want a screenshot of gparted ?
[07:26] <int256> eepberries: how ?
[07:26] <error404notfound> I can't remove exim4
[07:26] <eepberries> int256: int256: let me think a second
[07:26] <Incarus> hitman1985, yes
[07:26] <int256> eepberries: ok
[07:26] <hitman1985> Incarus: kk lemme find out how to do that ;)
[07:27] <Incarus> hitman1985, where's a tool
[07:27] <Incarus> hitman1985, or the print key
[07:27] <burkmat> Using the gnome-system-monitor...  It seems to be quite active - And that bugs me.
[07:27] <hitman1985> Incarus:  i know :) print then save then ul to tinypic
[07:27] <Incarus> hitman1985, k
[07:28] <eepberries> int256: what os are you using right now
[07:28] <int256> eepberries: ubuntu i my second hdd.
[07:28] <Incarus> hitman1985, which hd is the first-booting?
[07:28] <hitman1985> Incarus: http://i43.tinypic.com/mma5cl.png
[07:29] <hitman1985> Incarus: booting is none at the moment, but the one i got vista / ubuntu on is the only one that should boot in the way i had it planned
[07:29] <Incarus> hitman1985, your ntfs (vista) is broken
[07:29] <cyrus_mc> if I want to install the kernel source for my currently installed kernel (2.6.27-11), what package do I install
[07:29] <Htx-Bruger> Do you see this message?
[07:29] <eepberries> alright. assuming that int256's partitions are lost but still in existance, what program would he/she used to find and restore them?
[07:29] <eepberries> gpart?
[07:29] <rww> Htx-Bruger: yes
[07:29] <lianimator> Hi, how do I merge several files into one? (concatenate)
[07:30] <tuntun> Hi, I am looking for an open-source app that can convert an .bin to a .iso. Does anyone know one?
[07:30] <hitman1985> Incarus: shouldnt be :( all i did is resize with ubuntu install
[07:30] <Incarus> hitman1985, yes, but resizing is verry riskfull
[07:30] <rww> lianimator: cat source1 source2 source3 source4 > destination
[07:30] <lianimator> rww: thanks
[07:31] <Incarus> hitman1985, we try to repair it
[07:31] <popmadness> Good evening, all.
[07:31] <hitman1985> Incarus: hope we can
[07:31] <Incarus> popmadness, morning
[07:31] <hitman1985> Incarus: that is 30 gb of family pictures!
[07:31] <StR|Sangreal> hello... my boot is slowed down due to an no-critical error and i have no clue what is wrong... could pls someone attend this?
[07:31] <Incarus> hitman1985, yes
[07:31] <eepberries> int256: i think you want to use gparted to find the lost partitions, assuming that's what's going on
[07:31] <ojcme> I have a question for y'all
[07:31] <SinPro> Does anyone know about a Install guide for newbie?
[07:31] <eepberries> int256: actually no, gpart is what i mean
[07:32] <Incarus> hitman1985, make right click on ntfs partition and search something like repair or check ...
[07:32] <rww> !install | SinPro
[07:32] <popmadness> I have a question about my video card with Intrepid.   I have a VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 6100 nForce 405, and the flash freezes up every browser.  The browser goes grey and remains that way until a force quit.  Any suggestions?
[07:32] <ojcme> Why is it that I get recursive errors when trying to install an alternate window manager?
[07:32] <int256> eepberries: wait, i am checking
[07:32] <Am3ndment> Heya, no help
[07:32] <Incarus> popmadness, "glxinfo | grep direct"
[07:32] <SinPro> Oh It's great! thx
[07:33] <Am3ndment> It opened some ugly window and there was X mouse cursor but nothing else :/
[07:33] <Am3ndment> Other ideas?
[07:33] <hitman1985> Incarus: check and repair will be riskfull as it tells me that now
[07:33] <Incarus> hitman1985, 30 gb pictures? do you save everything in raw?
[07:33] <popmadness> direct rendering: Yes
[07:33] <popmadness>
[07:33] <popmadness>
[07:33] <popmadness>
[07:33] <Incarus> hitman1985, yes, do it
[07:33] <int256> eepberries: it shows the entire hdd as 'unallocated'
[07:33] <popmadness> Incarus: Sorry.  Enter key fail.
[07:33] <Incarus> popmadness, have you got x86 or x64?
[07:34] <popmadness> Incarus: Sorry.  Enter key fail.
[07:34] <Incarus> popmadness, i know
[07:34] <SinPro> can I use the vmware at Ubuntu?
[07:34] <eepberries> int256: gpart showed that? also, how many hard drives do you have? which have missing partitions?
[07:34] <Incarus> SinPro, yes
[07:34] <Incarus> SinPro, you can also use qemu
[07:34] <SinPro> qemu?
[07:34] <Am3ndment> puzanov: didnt work
[07:34] <popmadness> Incarus: x86.  I can give you my phpsysinfo URL if need be.
[07:34] <SinPro> I haven't herad about it
[07:34] <Incarus> SinPro, yes, is quicker (if you use kqemu)
[07:34] <eper3z> any1 have experience with "Big Desktop" and fglrx drivers?
[07:34] <hitman1985> Incarus: wow it just threw an error
[07:34] <int256> eepberries: the 250gb drive. i selected it..
[07:35] <Incarus> popmadness, k
[07:35] <eepberries> int256: was this using gparted or gpart?
[07:35] <Incarus> hitman1985, tell me
[07:35] <Incarus> hitman1985, or make a screenshot
[07:35] <popmadness> Incarus: http://mypopmadness.com/phpsysinfo .
[07:35] <int256> eepberries: gparted
[07:35]  * SinPro slaps Incarus around a bit with a large trout
[07:35] <eepberries> int256: i'm pretty sure that's a different program
[07:35] <eepberries> int256: from what i'mm reading, gpart is the program for trying to recover lost partitions
[07:36] <int256> eepberries: ok wait, i will install
[07:36] <SinPro> Incarus, how do i get kqemu?
[07:36] <hitman1985> Incarus: http://i44.tinypic.com/25k0eoi.png
[07:36] <Incarus> popmadness, "ps -u root | grep xorg"
[07:36] <eepberries> int256: i should let you know though that i've never actually used it, i only have experience with the program testdisk for windows xp
[07:36] <Incarus> SinPro, if you want kqemu, you have to compile it
[07:37] <SinPro> oh
[07:37] <popmadness> Incarus: <blank>
[07:37] <eepberries> have any of you ever recovered lost partitions using linux? if so please chime in
[07:37] <Incarus> hitman1985, your ntfs is broken
[07:37] <Incarus> popmadness, good
[07:37] <SinPro> Incarus, Im such a newbie... how can i comile it ...
[07:38] <Incarus> popmadness, adobes flash player or gansh?
[07:38] <Incarus> SinPro, use vmware, its easier
[07:38] <SinPro> ok
[07:38] <hitman1985> Incarus: wow great, meaning ubuntus coders just cost me my family pics, :(
[07:38] <int256> eepberries: i used apt-get to install gpart. how to use it ?
[07:38] <SinPro> Incarus, kqemu can run directx?
[07:38] <b1n42y> whatver you do dont interrupt gparted processes once youve clicked apply
[07:38] <Incarus> hitman1985, no, you can rescue it
[07:38] <popmadness> I've tried Adobe installed alone, gansh alone, both installed together.  Just Adobe right now.
[07:38] <eepberries> int256: http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/index.html
[07:38] <eepberries> that page seems to have some good information on using it
[07:38] <Incarus> SinPro, could be
[07:39] <Incarus> hitman1985, wait a sec
[07:39] <eepberries> int256: i've never used it myself, though i've done the same thing with a different program in windows xp
[07:39] <Am3ndment> Now i dont get any errors in xorg.log file :/
[07:39] <bkruse1> Hey guys, we just had to pull the drives out of a raid 1 server, and put them back in an hour later (after testing), however, they won't boot, and when we fdisk either one of the drives, the ext3 partition shows up as "Swap/Linux (146Gig)" Any idea? Anything we can do?
[07:39] <Incarus> hitman1985, "sudo mkdir /media/Vista", "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Vista"
[07:40] <Incarus> hitman1985, we can rescue your private things, but i think you have to reinstall vista
[07:40] <hitman1985> Incarus: it says you must specify the filesystem
[07:41] <Incarus> hitman1985, k , mom
[07:41] <eepberries> Incarus: do you know anything about finding lost partitions using linux?
[07:41] <b1n42y> bkruse1: fstab needs modifying by the sounds of it... dont know
[07:41] <rdw200169> eepberries, you can use testdisk for that...
[07:41] <eepberries> rdw200169: oh is that available on linux?
[07:41] <rdw200169> eepberries, it'll seek out and find old partition tables
[07:41] <rdw200169> eepberries, yup
[07:41] <eepberries> oh okay
[07:41] <eepberries> cool
[07:41] <Incarus> hitman1985, "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/Vista"
[07:42] <Incarus> eepberries, yes, use testdisk or something like that
[07:42] <bkruse1> b1n42y: I appreciate it, but it won't even boot right now, so we have it in a PC with knoppix running, just trying to save the mysql database
[07:42] <bkruse1> we just need the mysql database :/
[07:42] <hitman1985> Incarus:  that where it says file system type ?
[07:42] <rdw200169> eepberries, you *are* talking about finding partitions that have been deleted, right?
[07:42] <Incarus> hitman1985, ?
[07:42] <Incarus> hitman1985, try the command
[07:42] <eepberries> rdw200169: not sure, it isn't my problem. i'm trying to help int256 figure out why some of his partitions are missing
[07:42] <rdw200169> eepberries, not just hard to detect, like ext3 on windows
[07:42] <eepberries> or if they're just gone
[07:43] <hitman1985> Incarus: Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
[07:43] <hitman1985> The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
[07:43] <hitman1985> Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
[07:43] <hitman1985> partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
[07:43] <rdw200169> eepberries, b/c parted will show everything, regardless of whether or not its mountable
[07:43] <eper3z> some1 help me with this display issue plz!
[07:43] <Incarus> hitman1985, shit, wait
[07:43] <rdw200169> eepberries, same thing w/gparted, the gtk parted frontend
[07:43] <eepberries> rdw200169: well he said gparted showed the hard drive as being unallocated
[07:43] <Incarus> hitman1985, "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Vista"
[07:43] <popmadness> Incarus: Switching back to gnash.
[07:44] <Incarus> popmadness, i wouldnt do that, but you can try
[07:44] <eepberries> rdw200169: would that be scanning for partitions that could be lost?
[07:44] <int256> eepberries: scaning.
[07:44] <hitman1985> Incarus: same thing
[07:44] <Incarus> hitman1985, k
[07:44] <Incarus> hitman1985, just a sec
[07:44] <rdw200169> eepberries, no, go with testdisk.  it can also repair screwed up partition tables
[07:44] <popmadness> Incarus: Fail either way.
[07:44] <eepberries> rdw200169: alright well int256's using a program called gpart right now
[07:45] <rdw200169> eepberries, int256 refer to the documentation here for help, this may do what you want: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[07:45] <b1n42y> Incarus: do you think qemu is better than virtuabox and is kqemu for cpu capable emulation?
[07:45] <tuntun> Hi, I am looking for an open-source app that can convert an .bin to a .iso. Does anyone know one?
[07:45] <SinPro> there's 32bit and 64bit files, which one should I get?
[07:45] <rdw200169> eepberries, yeah, but gparted said that it was 'unallocated' that's not very useful
[07:45] <SinPro> My laptop is T9300
[07:45] <eepberries> rdw200169: yeah if gpart doesn't find it (i don't know anything about this program) i'll have int256 installtestdisk
[07:45] <eepberries> rdw200169: gpart, not gparted
[07:45] <eepberries> i think they're different
[07:46] <Seveas> !iso | tuntun
[07:46] <SinPro> there's 32bit and 64bit files, which one should I get? my laptop cpu is t9300
[07:46] <aram> .
[07:46] <Incarus> b1n42y, 1. yes, 2. yes
[07:46] <rdw200169> eepberries, ah, testdisk and gpart do about the same thing... i prefer testdisk personally... (also int256 )
[07:46] <bryhoyt> hi, have a USB drive problem in Intrepid. I plugin a drive, it shows up in Nautilus ("Places" sidebar). Then I unplug the device (after unmounting it) and the icon remains in "Places". When I plug it in again, a new icon appears. Each time I plug/unplug, another icon gets added. Furthermore, the folder in "/media" doesn't always disappear on unmount, so I can't rely on a consistent filename.
[07:46] <int256> eepberries: estimated time to complete scan.
[07:47] <eepberries> int256: what is it saying so far
[07:47] <Incarus> hitman1985, ok. know error
[07:47] <error404notfound> any help on: http://pastebin.com/m7886fa9
[07:47] <bryhoyt> I've had it since hardy & possibly even before. It was working perfectly on intrepid till recently (it's not related to updates tho -- I haven't updated since installing 3 months ago, and updating today hasn't fix it).
[07:47] <b1n42y> tuntun: bin2iso
[07:47] <b1n42y> Incarus: ta
[07:47] <SinPro> Incarus, I have a question
[07:47] <plsd> SinPro, Depends :) Take a look in the ubuntu forums in the 64-bit forum, there you can read about the "problems" with 64-bit. If you use any programs that aren't available in 64-bit then go with 32, flash used to be problematic before but not anymore, I don't know if there's anything problematic now. I'm using 64. Choose whichever
[07:48] <int256> eepberries: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/121705/
[07:48] <hitman1985> Incarus: so you know the error or your asking me ?
[07:48] <tuntun> Seveas, b1n42y, thanks.
[07:48] <bryhoyt> anyone experienced this USB bug & does anyone have ideas where to start investigating?
[07:48] <eepberries> int256: that's looking great. are those the partitions you're missing?
[07:48] <TIMM1337> hey how are yall
[07:48] <Incarus> hitman1985, hm, boot the windows cd and boot into windows and enter in terminal "fixmbr", this should work
[07:48] <SinPro> hmmmmmmm
[07:49] <Am3ndment> im getting pretty hopeless :/
[07:49] <Incarus> hitman1985, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/298169
[07:49] <SinPro> plsd, 64 is faster than 32?
[07:49] <TIMM1337> ive got a real big problem ... can someone help me?
[07:49] <int256> eepberries: ya, but one remaining to show
[07:49] <TIMM1337> ok ;)
[07:49] <plsd> SinPro, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=616&num=1
[07:49] <eepberries> SinPro: that depends entirely on how well your apps were programmed
[07:49] <Seveas> TIMM1337, not really. You haven't told us the problem so there's not much we can do :)
[07:50] <Incarus> hitman1985, ok. forgett it, was wrong
[07:50] <SinPro> hmm
[07:50] <eepberries> int256: cool. is it finished scanning yet?
[07:50] <int256> eepberries: no
[07:50] <Incarus> hitman1985, install "testdisk" and start it
[07:50] <hitman1985> Incarus: i m running the same crakc then he is talking about but dont think this has anything to do with it :)
[07:50] <TIMM1337> xD ok .. so .. i installed ubuntu on my usb stick ... but now i cant boot myhard drive if the stick isnt connectet
[07:51] <TIMM1337> it always boots the grup
[07:51] <TIMM1337> that booting windows and its tells me "error"
[07:51] <cooldduuudde> timm1337 even if pen drive is removed?
[07:51] <Incarus> hitman1985, crack?
[07:51] <eepberries> TIMM1337: you screwed up. how did you install it on the usb stick
[07:51] <TIMM1337> no just when its removed
[07:51] <Seveas> TIMM1337, boot from windows cd and run the fixmbr command. Then reinstall grub onto the usb stick
[07:51] <hitman1985> Incarus: activator for vista ;) i am not paying the ms cartell :)
[07:52] <Incarus> TIMM1337, dont do this
[07:52] <rww> hitman1985: please don't discuss stuff like that in here.
[07:52] <cooldduuudde> you installed grub on hdd while OS on pen drive timm1337
[07:52] <Incarus> TIMM1337, install grub on the hd
[07:52] <TIMM1337> my stick works perfect
[07:52] <kizza> hi
[07:52] <Incarus> hitman1985, k
[07:52] <Incarus>  8-)
[07:52] <TIMM1337> i just need to remove grub but how ^^
[07:52] <eepberries> TIMM1337: that isn't the problem, your computer now looks for your usb drive for booting
[07:52] <Seveas> Incarus, that won't work if /boot/grub is on the usb stick and he wants to boot without it
[07:52] <TIMM1337> ok so i have to change the boot device?
[07:52] <Incarus> hitman1985, install, testdisk on live linux and run
[07:53] <hitman1985> Incarus: how ? all i see is a archive
[07:53] <eepberries> TIMM1337: do you have only windows installed on your hard drive?
[07:53] <Incarus> Seveas, ...
[07:53] <TIMM1337> yes
[07:53] <cooldduuudde> TIMM1337 you have 2 run windows recovery console or sumthing. but even without it i think it shud b possible 2 boot windows from grub
[07:53] <Incarus> hitman1985, terminal (in linux live cd) and "sudo apt-get install testdisk"
[07:54] <eepberries> TIMM1337: well i dont know if it will mess up your usb linux installation or not, but doing what Seveas said will fix the windows problem
[07:54] <TIMM1337> it doesnt even oopen grub cause error
[07:54] <Incarus> Seveas, wrong, i think
[07:54] <Seveas> Incarus, in case you don't know: grub is a 2-stage bootloader. Stage2 lives in /boot/grub and is needed for booting
[07:54] <hitman1985> Incarus: couldnt find package
[07:54] <SuperMoot> is it possible to use wget for --load-cookies file along with --http-user=user --http-password=pass , and have it login to two places (one with the cookie) and the other site with the user:pass ?
[07:54] <Incarus> Seveas, yes, he have to install it on hd
[07:54] <Seveas> eepberries, it will make the usb dongle unbootable, hence the 'then reinstall grub onto the usb drive' thing
[07:54] <Seveas> Incarus, no, he needs grub not to touch his hd and use bios boot order to boot from usb
[07:54] <TIMM1337> so kk thanks guys for your help im coming back when i fixed the prob
[07:55] <TIMM1337> thanks very much
[07:55] <TIMM1337> cyq
[07:55] <eepberries> int256: still scanning?
[07:55] <SuperMoot> oops

[08:01] <int256> eepberries: ya ya. all gone...
[08:01] <eepberries> int256: nice. congrats
[08:01] <eepberries> int256: oh wait
[08:01] <Orochium> YES
[08:01] <Orochium> awesome
[08:01] <eepberries> int256: you found them all, or they're all gone
[08:01] <Orochium> 8.04 server is installing
[08:01] <Seveas> StyleSheep, not entirely sure if smbmount is still 'the right way'. Try 'mount -t cifs'
[08:01] <Orochium> it was just 8.10 server thats screwed up
[08:01]  * Orochium does an awesome dance
[08:02] <glitsj16> Am3ndment: anything usefull in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to start debugging your issue ? Look for lines starting with (EE) for errors ..
[08:02] <int256> eepberries: all gone... i am restarting. see you soon. if any partition remains..
[08:02] <StyleSheep> Seveas, i tried both, but with the same result
[08:02] <Meshezabeel> is ubuntu 9.04 slated to come out April 30th. Or, is there a set date before that that it will come out on?
[08:02] <eepberries> int256: what happened? didn't the scan find some of the partitions?
[08:02] <int256> eepberries: any way thanks. i will not forgot you...
[08:03] <StyleSheep> Seveas, if i navigate with nautilus i can access the share, but i cant mount it
[08:03] <lwizardl> anyone here ever setup a PXE linux distro install server
[08:03] <Seveas> StyleSheep, any errors, or is it hanging or timing out?
[08:03] <eepberries> int256: before giving up, you should try testdisk
[08:03] <Am3ndment> glitsj16: no errors.
[08:03] <int256> eepberries: its still going on. i started it aging now only the first drive is showning.
[08:03] <Am3ndment> glitsj16: only warning is that there is some font missing
[08:03] <int256> eepberries: ok. wait
[08:03] <StyleSheep> Seveas, just hanging and timing out...
[08:04] <eepberries> int256: try stopping that and trying testdisk
[08:04] <SinPro> ???????????
[08:04] <int256> eepberries: installing it..
[08:04] <Seveas> StyleSheep, any useful logentries in dmesg or on the windows box? Maybe it's refusing multiple simultaneous connections?
[08:04] <arturgam3r> hello. i have problem with gdm. i've removed it and now i use the console to login. but now i have not any rights (cant mount, use network...)
[08:05] <Orochium> WHo would I talk to about why the ide_generic module is missing from Ubuntu Server 8.10...was that intentional?
[08:05] <Incarus> arturgam3r, "sudo apt-get -f install"
[08:05] <kizza> whats the highest ubuntu update out
[08:05] <kizza> is it 8.10
[08:05] <Orochium> stable or ?
[08:05] <Seveas> kizza, 8.10
[08:05] <Orochium> 8.10 is stable yeah
[08:05] <kizza> ohh ty
[08:06] <VADiUM> stupid cock suckers, why cant i set a specific ip for my fuckin network adapter to be used on boot
[08:06] <glitsj16> Am3ndment: yep, that's a pretty regular font warning, that wouldn't be causing serious issues though .. not sure i follwed all your remarks here, could you summarize what is happening exactly ?
[08:06] <Orochium> but I just tried to install it on an old netfinity and found out all the generic ide modules = don't exist on the distro
[08:06] <Seveas> !ops | VADiUM
[08:06] <Orochium> so it was screwing with anything IDE on the system
[08:06] <Seveas> tx Myrtti
[08:06] <kizza> im having trouble with the speail effects on ubuntu like the cube it dosnt work
[08:06] <Myrtti> Seveas: np, sweetie
[08:06] <Am3ndment> glitsj16: basically X just doesnt start. I cant remember doing any changes yesterday. So far i have tried to reinstall xserver and X -config /root/xorg.conf with no help
[08:07] <dust_t> hi i am using ubuntu server 8.04 . I changed the hostname by adding it to /etc/hostname and reloaded postfix. Now when I do telnet localhost 25 it still shows the older hostname
[08:07] <kizza> or any other effects
[08:07] <Myrtti> dust_t: did you change it to /etc/hosts as well?
[08:07] <arturgam3r> Incarus, ??
[08:07] <Seveas> dust_t, look im /etc/postfix/main.cf as well
[08:07] <Am3ndment> glitsj16: Before backtrace latest log is for "Loading extension XFree86-DRI"
[08:07] <dust_t> Myrtti, yes
[08:07] <Incarus> arturgam3r, ?
[08:07] <Seveas> dust_t, and you might need to restart postfix instead of reload
[08:08] <eepberries> int256: have you installed testdisk?
[08:08] <int256> eepberries: using it now
[08:08] <eepberries> int256: are you following the step by step guide/
[08:08] <Incarus> arturgam3r, repair your system, its a bug, your system is missing a package
[08:08] <kizza> can someone help me with my ubuntu effects they dont work
[08:08] <int256> eepberries: ya.
[08:08] <eepberries> int256: okay
[08:08] <Incarus> arturgam3r, try to set you in sudoers or something
[08:08]  * int256 will be back in 5min
[08:08] <dust_t> Seveas, its the older one here.  What errors do you get when you try to run startx from terminal ?
[08:09] <Seveas> dust_t, manually
[08:10] <dust_t> Seveas, works :)
[08:10] <Am3ndment> glitsj16: Nothing, it just says "Starting X server   [OK]" :/
[08:10] <eper3z> hey guys how can i make my computer initiate this commands, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart, upon boot?
[08:11] <Seveas> eper3z, why would you do that? Samba starts fresh at boot, surely there's no need to restart it right away?
[08:11] <bohemian_> anyone has an idea to make nvidia fx5500 work properly with userful multiplier?
[08:11] <eper3z> my network doesnt pickup the folder unless its restarted
[08:11] <Am3ndment> "Gnome server" even ^
[08:11] <eper3z> im trying to access files froma windows computer
[08:12] <Seveas> eper3z, for that you don't need a samba server running at all
[08:12] <kizza> help
[08:12] <Incarus> kizza, ?
[08:12] <eepberries> kizza: what's up
[08:12] <eper3z> well that was the only way i was able to navigate, im a newb
[08:13] <Seveas> eper3z, are you accessing the windows machine by name or by ip?
[08:13] <kizza> my effects for ubuntu dont work like the cube
[08:13] <Am3ndment> glitsj16: i got a hint from other channel. Latest driver update messed up someone else, how can i get older driver release?
[08:13] <dust_t> How do I test that it is setup properly for sending emails ?
[08:13] <eper3z> by name

[08:13] <b1n42y> !qemu
[08:13] <eepberries> kizza: do you have compiz installed

[08:13] <eepberries> kizza: is this what you're talking about? http://shikai.shadowraith.com/images/xgl-compiz.jpg
[08:14] <StyleSheep> but i've connected a windows box to the share, so maybe its the other thingy you mentioned
[08:14] <eper3z> i access the folder by name!
[08:14] <eper3z> Seveas
[08:14] <Seveas> eper3z, might be nmbd starting too early
[08:14] <Seveas> hang on
[08:14] <eper3z> ahh
[08:14] <eper3z> cool
[08:14] <vicmen> Is php 5.2.8 available for ubuntu 8.04?
[08:15] <kizza> yeah
[08:15] <eepberries> kizza: yeah to what
[08:15] <glitsj16> Am3ndment: i'd try looking in bugs.launchpad.net to check if something of a fix is available
[08:15] <kizza> thats wat im trying to do how do u do it
[08:15] <eepberries> kizza: you have to install compiz
[08:15] <kizza> were from
[08:15] <StyleSheep> Seveas, but even if i unmount the share on the windows box i cannot mount it...
[08:15] <Seveas> eper3z, run this: echo /etc/init.d/samba restart | sudo tee /etc/network/if-up.d/samba && sudo chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/samba
[08:16] <kizza> or how
[08:16] <error404notfound> anybody here using ssmtp?
[08:16] <eepberries> kizza: you can probably get it using apt-get
[08:16] <Incarus> kizza, "glxinfo | grep direct"
[08:16] <Seveas> eper3z, that creates a small script that restarts samba when your network is up
[08:16] <int256> eepberries: yes it shows all partitions
[08:16] <int256> eepberries: now what ?.
[08:16] <Seveas> !anyone | error404notfound
[08:16] <eepberries> int256: great, now use testdisk to save that
[08:16] <eepberries> int256: it should tell you how to do that in the guie
[08:16] <Am3ndment> glitsj16: thanks
[08:16] <hateball> Is there a way to "invert" ping replies? Make it show dropped packets instead of the ones that go through
[08:16] <int256> eepberries: how to save it ?
[08:16] <eepberries> *guide
[08:16] <quibbler> vicmen: no 5.24
[08:16] <eepberries> int256: hang on
[08:17] <Seveas> hateball, try mtr. It'll display questionmarks for things not received
[08:17] <kizza> it said yes to glxinfo | grep direct
[08:17] <Incarus> kizza, thats good
[08:17] <Incarus> kizza, install compiz
[08:17] <eepberries> Incarus: kizza wants compiz
[08:17] <Seveas> hateball, when mtr starts, hit d a few times until it shows rows of dots
[08:17] <Incarus> eepberries, know
[08:17] <eepberries> yeah
[08:17] <eepberries> int256: select write
[08:18] <kizza> how
[08:18] <Incarus> kizza, are you under gnome or kde?

[08:18] <eepberries> int256: actually wait
[08:18] <kizza> how do i find out
[08:18] <MrGoodkat_> is there a command to clear ram?
[08:19] <Incarus> kizza, have you got a panel on the top of the screen?
[08:19] <kizza> yes\
[08:19] <Incarus> MrGoodkat_, yes, you can wipe your ram
[08:19] <Incarus> kizza, k, so you are under gnome or xfce
[08:19] <eper3z> Seveas, thanks!
[08:19] <Incarus> kizza, you dont need compiz for effects in gnome
[08:19] <eepberries> int256: yeah, you should be able to write it now
[08:19] <eepberries> int256: have you done that?
[08:19] <int256> eepberries: selected deeper search..pls wait..
[08:19] <kizza> kk
[08:20] <eepberries> int256: was there a missing partition?
[08:20] <kizza> kk well how do i do it
[08:20] <MrGoodkat_> Incarus, how do i do it?
[08:20] <theCarpenter> i want to setup my laptop as a portable wireless router with internet-sharing. however, my builtin wifi device can't do iwconfig mode master.
[08:20] <theCarpenter> question 1- even if it could, could i set it up as a wireless router and use it as im using it right now (a regular wifi adapter) at the same time?
[08:20] <theCarpenter> question 2 - are there any drivers or anything i could install specially to enable setting iwconfig mode master? or is there some way of doing it that doesn't require that setting?
[08:20] <eper3z> brb going to test it, seveas!
[08:20] <int256> eepberries: yes just one..
[08:20] <eepberries> int256: ah
[08:21] <kizza> is there a hotkey
[08:21] <eepberries> kizza: do you know how to use the terminal
[08:21] <kizza> yes
[08:21] <kizza> sort of
[08:21] <Incarus> kizza, no, you have to activate desktop effects
[08:21] <error404notfound> when I try to send email from another server using smtp.nayatel.com as relayhost, it works fine, but from here I get "send-mail: RCPT<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(550 5.7.1<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Relaying denied)"
[08:21] <bohemian_> >	anyone has an idea to make nvidia fx5500 work properly with userful multiplier?
[08:21] <bohemian_> >	i am using driver 173.14.12
[08:21] <eepberries> enter in sudo apt-get install compiz
[08:21] <kizza> kk
[08:21] <bohemian_> and nvidia config tool 177.78
[08:21] <dust_t> Right now postfix is denying relay for any email id except the local ones. How do I enable this ? And also not make it an open relay
[08:21] <dash84> i just got kicked out of ubuntu-offtopic
[08:21] <Incarus> MrGoodkat_, dont know, search in google "ubuntu ram wipe"
[08:21] <dash84> :[
 kizza, no, you have to activate desktop effects <-- arent the desktop effects compiz based?
[08:22] <eepberries> MrGoodkat_: yeah i think so
[08:22] <eepberries> at least the one kizza wants anyway
[08:22] <MrGoodkat_> i just thought, couz he said you dont need compiz for desktop effects
[08:22] <Incarus> MrGoodkat_, no, gnome got his own effect windows manager
[08:23] <eepberries> Incarus: does gnome have that 3d box effect though
[08:23] <Incarus> eepberries, i think so
[08:23] <MrGoodkat_> compiz is already pre-installed since gutsy or intrepid, im not sure, thats what you control via the desktop effects panel
[08:23] <kizza> i went to system / appearance/ visual effects and clicked it but it said cant be enabled
[08:24] <Incarus> kizza, your graca is not compatible
 i went to system / appearance/ visual effects and clicked it but it said cant be enabled <-- why cant it be enabled, most likely a problem with your graphic driver
[08:24] <kizza> well that suks
[08:24] <kizza> can i fix it
[08:24] <eepberries> on the other hand, is there any way to completely disable gnome desktop effects? i tried, but it still does that annoying shrink to the taskbar thing, except it only shows the window border instead of the window picture. i'd like to completely remove that effect
[08:25] <Incarus> eepberries, yes, gconf
[08:25] <Incarus> eepberries, search in google
[08:25] <eepberries> alright
[08:25] <Incarus> kizza, yes
[08:25] <b1n42y> can anyone tell me if its possible to run kde 3.5.* instead of 4.2 and how
[08:25] <kizza> how
[08:25] <Incarus> kizza, its difficult
[08:25] <lwizardl> anyone here ever configured a PXE server to do network OS installs?
[08:25] <kizza> im ready to do it
[08:26] <MrGoodkat_> eepberries, yes, system - preferences - appearance - visual effects - none
[08:26] <Incarus> MrGoodkat_, wrong
[08:26] <glitsj16> kizza: perhaps starting with a script called compiz-check is worthwile, look at http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check for more info
[08:27] <Incarus> MrGoodkat_, where are standard effects, you cant deactive with that
[08:27] <MatBoy> mhh, my 8.04 install just shutsdown when I boot it and get my login screen :S
[08:27] <MatBoy> just @ once
 MrGoodkat_, where are standard effects, you cant deactive with that <--- what standard effects, im sure i dont have any effects
[08:27] <mandar> how to create dial up connection for cable net in ubuntu 8.1
[08:27] <StyleSheep> how can i find out the ip adress of a local server when i have a hostname?
[08:27] <MatBoy> StyleSheep: ifconfig ?
[08:28] <eepberries> MrGoodkat_: the windows will still do that annoying shrink into the taskbar thing, except it will just show an outline of the window
[08:28] <Incarus> MrGoodkat_, under gnome are some effects, like minimizing
[08:28] <eepberries> pretty stupid if you ask me
[08:28] <MrGoodkat_> StyleSheep, ping hostname, should give back ip too
[08:28] <Incarus> eepberries, yes, moment
