[15:03] <mika___> but there is....i have vendor and product ID with lsusb command
[15:03] <erUSUL> GrimJack: no you where using the worng options. is not "fsck.ext3 -y -n [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2" is "fsck.ext3 -y -n -b [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2"
[15:03] <Halabund> aethelrick: Because I have no idea how to do that, and during last week I didn't even get a single repsonse to questions here.  Googleing didn't help.  The best I found is the thread about ndiswrapper.  If you have better idea about where to look, please tell me.
[15:03] <erUSUL> GrimJack: you forgot the -b
[15:04] <mika___> genii i have USB-stick-modem.... huawei
[15:04] <GrimJack> I will try that, one sec...
[15:04] <Arcitens> Hey folks. Does anyone know of any aircards/wireless modems that work well with Ubuntu in the U.S.? And if so what tweaking what if any do I need to do to get them to work?
[15:04] <Plankt0n> !seen maco
[15:05] <Plankt0n> #punk
[15:05] <Halabund> trism:  I don't think so.  If I type dmesg, one of the last messages is "ndiswrapper version 1.53 loaded)"  No mention of ndiswrapper after that..
[15:05] <mika___> its huawei E1552
[15:05] <vG|qum^> Good morning
[15:05] <maco> Plankt0n: stop highlighting me. stop saying offtopic channel names.
[15:05] <b3rz3rk3r> !hcl | Arcitens
[15:05] <aethelrick> Halabund: I could possibly help, but I don't even know what card you have other than "a broadcom" what model number is it?
[15:05] <tp_> linphone configurations.. anyone?
[15:06] <maco> Plankt0n: this channel is for ubuntu support only. if youre having issues with the server, ask in #freenode. if you want to chat about other channels...well just join those channels
[15:06] <Halabund> aethelrick: How can I find that out?  Windows says it's a "Dell 1370 wireless"
[15:06] <geek-in-destress> ubuntu (x64) boots to blank screen... got a live cd and sudo cp'd failsafe xorg.conf to xorg.conf - still booting to a blank screen - any help?
[15:06] <trism> Halabund: does ndiswrapper -l list the correct driver installed and the device present?
[15:06] <GrimJack> I get a "only one of the options may be used -p/-a , -n , -y"
[15:07] <Plankt0n> maco sorry .. but i cant register nick n my private channel
[15:07] <cambazz> hello. how do I check which services I am starting at boot
[15:07] <cambazz> and how do I add apache to sttart at boot
[15:07] <IdleOne> Plankt0n: #freenode for help with registering
[15:07] <aethelrick> Halabund: type "lspci" in a console to see a list of identified devices
[15:08] <Arcitens> b3rz3rk3r: there doesn't seem to be anything on either of those pages for what I need
[15:08] <GrimJack> So instead of "fsck.ext3 -y -n -b [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2" I should use "fsck.ext3 -y -b [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2" ??
[15:08] <GrimJack> Drop the -n ??
[15:08] <Plankt0n> i cnat idleon
[15:08] <b3rz3rk3r> Halabund, if your card works everywhere but university, dont you think that it is your university causing the problems?
[15:08] <erUSUL> GrimJack: the -n is to do a read only (no repair) run
[15:08] <SodaCan> Is there anyway to trick ubuntu into thinking it has a screen?
[15:08] <IdleOne> Plankt0n: you cant what?
[15:08] <Halabund> trism: It says, "bcmwl5 : driver installed" and "device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: ssb)" And before that a "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release."
[15:08] <erUSUL> GrimJack: also please adress me or i would miss your replies
[15:08] <erUSUL> !who | GrimJack
[15:08] <moonshine> b3rz3rk3r: can i pvt you? :D
[15:09] <b3rz3rk3r> moonshine, sure
[15:09] <Plankt0n> cant register my nick name
[15:09] <maco> Plankt0n: ask in #freenode. how many times do you need to be told??
[15:09] <IdleOne> Plankt0n: go to #freenode and ask for help
[15:09] <erUSUL> GrimJack: read the man page « man e2fsck »
[15:09] <IdleOne> Plankt0n: /join #freenode and say " Hello I need help registering my nick"
[15:09] <Halabund> aethelrick: It's Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]
[15:09] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I will... brb
[15:10] <trism> Halabund: the warning isn't a bit deal, it can be fixed by renaming /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
[15:10] <aethelrick> Halabund: cool... I'll see if I can find you a solution
[15:11] <trism> Halabund: you could check iwconfig to see if it lists the wlan interface
[15:11] <Halabund> b3rz3rk3r: No, because it works just fine on Windows for me, and for everynoe else.  Also many people report problems like this with Ubuntu.  I suspect it's because there are actually several devices scattered throughout the building providing the network rather than one (as in the case of home wireless routers)
[15:11] <trism> Halabund: it could be the the ssd driver got loaded instead, I usually have to blacklist the alternate drivers so ndiswrapper grabs them instead
[15:11] <Halabund> trism: it doesn't list it
[15:12] <Halabund> trism: ow do I blacklist drivers?
[15:12] <trism> Halabund: check lsmod | grep ssb and see if anything comes up
[15:12] <mneptok> trism: through the atmosphere, by prism!
[15:12] <Halabund> trism: Yes, it does
[15:13] <b3rz3rk3r> Halabund, yes, my university blocks access to linux machines too.. when in windows they work fine. Its to do with the "security" packages that they install to allow you to use the network
[15:13] <trism> Halabund: you can try adding blacklist ssb to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and rebooting to see if ndiswrapper picks up the interface instead
[15:13] <b3rz3rk3r> Halabund, the fact that the card works everywhere else but university doesnt trouble you?
[15:13] <itswhatev> how do i capture a sysrq dump?
[15:14] <mneptok> Plankt0n: do NOT /msg users who have asked that you stop doing so.
[15:15] <erUSUL> itswhatev: with a digital camera ? sometimes is the only way ...
[15:15] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I looked at the -y and -b switches for e2fsck. From the sysrescue live CD, I issue "e2fsck -y -b ##### /dev/sdb2" and I get a "block cannot be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem"
[15:15] <deany> There is a b43 driver in the hardware drivers program, it actually fw-cutter, but works ok
[15:15] <SodaCan> Will rc.local still execute even If the system doesn't fully start up?
[15:15] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I need to verify where the superblock backups are kept
[15:15] <erUSUL> GrimJack: what number did you used ? the ####
[15:16] <erUSUL> GrimJack: should be 32768
[15:18] <moiubuntu> hi all
[15:18] <kapizilla> Is there a gmail notification applet that uses the Ubuntu Notify OSD? The ones I have tried insists on using their own popups...
[15:18] <moiubuntu> i need help configuring intel card on intrepid 2.6.27-14-generic ( i just upgrade my kernel)
[15:19] <moiubuntu> and the xserver crashes
[15:19] <moiubuntu> anyone to help? thanks :)
[15:19] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I issued "e2fsck -y -b 32768 /dev/sdb2" and got Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdb2. Is this a zero-length partition?"
[15:19] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, which intel card is it?
[15:19] <deany> kapizilla, there is one in the addons site, I cant remember its name
[15:19] <deany> kapizilla, in fact I think there is more than 1
[15:19] <erUSUL> GrimJack: :| seems like the disk is really foobared ...
[15:20] <kapizilla> deany: for the gnome panel?
[15:20] <GrimJack> erUSUL: same result using 8193

[15:20] <deany> kapizilla, sorry, I`m talkin about thunderbird
[15:20] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: there ya go.
[15:20] <erUSUL> GrimJack: can you describe what happened to the disk ?
[15:20] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: any idea?
[15:20] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, did you see this,
[15:20] <kapizilla> deany: thats ok.. I hope someone will point me to a program that works :-(
[15:20] <Administrator_> !intel
[15:21] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: will read the second one. hang on
[15:21] <deany> kapizilla, well you can use gmail accounts in thunderbird..
[15:21] <Critical_Threat> is it me or is it quiet in here lol
[15:21] <kapizilla> deany: I prefer not to
[15:21] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, does x freeze up?
[15:21] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: yep. fails.
[15:22] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: had to change to Driver "vga" in xorg.conf
[15:22] <moiubuntu> so i am currently running on vga driver :(
[15:22] <richardcavell> If I know that my video set up is integrated Intel, can I remove every xserver-xorg-* that is not for Intel?
[15:22] <jcmarini> gidday from oz
[15:22] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, i had to put "DRI" "off" and then mine worked
[15:23] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, try that
[15:23] <GrimJack> erUSUL: the disc is a separate /home partition. Ever since I upgraded to Jaunty, I've been plagued with file system errors. Generally, I leave the system running all the time. I sat down at the machine a few hours ago and loaded Firefox and discovered my saved passwords were all gone. I closed Firefox and tried to re-launch it. When I did, I was given a message that said FF was already running. Issuing a "ps ux" from a terminal showed no FF
[15:23] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: dude, mine is empty. if i try inserting drm, intel-agp, i810, i915 (modprobe), it just borks

[15:25] <shark63> hi, someone can give me a link for a tutorial about installation of miniDLNA from the scratch (I'm new of Ubuntu/linux). thanks
[15:25] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, which ubuntu version are you using?
[15:25] <moonshine> anyone particularly familiar with ptching kernels?
[15:25] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: 8.10
[15:25] <GrimJack> erUSUL: processes. The message suggested restarting the machine. Since I've been having problems, instead of a clean restart, I booted into the live rescue CD and told it to FSCK my /home, /dev/sdb2. It gave hundreds of errors and asked to fix many blocks.
[15:25] <moiubuntu> lsb_release -a                                                  (08-28 23:53) No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 8.10 Release:	8.10 Codename:	intrepid
[15:25] <eurythmia> I have an openoffice.oeg spreadsheet with several thousand rows. I noticed that when I scroll, my audio cuts out, so I went to check it out. It turns out that when I scroll in my spreadsheet document, Xorg's CPU usage goes up to >90% for a burst. Can anybody help me to figure out why this is and/or how I can fix it?
[15:25] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: ^^
[15:25] <moonshine> anyone particularly familiar with patching kernels?
[15:25] <erUSUL> moonshine: ask
[15:26] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, i dont know what to say about your problem
[15:26] <eurythmia> moonshine, what do you need to know?
[15:26] <moiubuntu> anyone?
[15:26] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: thanks dude appreciate it
[15:26] <eurythmia> hey erUSUL .
[15:26] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I'm on a different machine while in this channel, so I cannot paste. Let me try doing sudo fdisk -l from the live prompt.
[15:27] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, np
[15:27] <GrimJack> erUSUL: fdisk doesn't even show the device
[15:27] <shark63> hi, someone can give me a link for a tutorial about installation of miniDLNA from the scratch (I'm new of Ubuntu/linux). thanks
[15:27] <moonshine> i have ubuntu 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27-14 and i installed 2.6.25-2 in order the b43xx injection to work, and when i started the computer with the 2.6.25 kernel, i dont have wireless network at all...but in 2.6.27-14 i have it
[15:27] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, if you cant fix it, have you though about stcking with the LTS's
[15:27] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: trying Part B (Safe/Optimal)
[15:28] <Administrator_> ok
[15:28] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: maybe
[15:28] <erUSUL> GrimJack: o.0! can you check « dmesg | less »
[15:28] <erUSUL> GrimJack: things related to the disk
[15:28] <moonshine> well?
[15:28] <moonshine> anyone?
[15:28] <Administrator_> moiubuntu, this is what i would do re-install and before update i would edit my xorg.conf
[15:29] <erUSUL> moonshine: what does that have to do with patching kernels ?
[15:29] <moiubuntu> Administrator_: fetching packages just a sec
[15:29] <netyire> erUSUL: coffee
[15:29] <moonshine> cause the b43xx injection works until version 2.6.25, it is not supported for higher kernels...
[15:29] <erUSUL> moonshine: maybe it is just that the 25 kernel does not support your wifi card at all
[15:30] <GrimJack> erUSUL: just about everything in dmesg is disc related, I/O errors.
[15:30] <moiubuntu> GrimJack: your disk is crap i reckon
[15:30] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I am going to power the machine down and reboot into the live
[15:30] <moiubuntu> s/is/has
[15:30] <moonshine> i dont understand...they make the injection but it is not supported? confused...
[15:30] <moiubuntu> GrimJack: or either the drive's fscked
[15:30] <ReX0r> how do I automatically rejoin when kicked in X-chat?
[15:30] <erUSUL> GrimJack: your disk has died/is dying? not sure if anything can be done about it. you can not mount the partitions anymore ?
[15:31] <moonshine> first, they assure it is supported for the kernel version
[15:31] <GrimJack> erUSUL: It mounted when I initially ran fsck from the live disc
[15:31] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I didn't mount it before running fsck, but fsck was able to 'see' it...
[15:32] <erUSUL> GrimJack: if you can mount it i would backup any inportant data ASAP
[15:33] <moonshine> well? no idea? anyone?
[15:33] <arand> Are links always lrwxrwxrwx (777) Yes/No?
[15:33] <xnox> ls
[15:34] <erUSUL> arand: no
[15:34] <xnox> Hello I've deleted files with "rm" is it possible to restore them somehow?
[15:34] <llutz> xnox: restore from backup
[15:34] <erUSUL> !undelete | xnox it is very difficult
[15:34] <Shirotoko> xnox, in your /home/share/.trash
[15:34] <arand> erUSUL: is it possible to change their permissions with chmod?
[15:35] <mrwes> xnox, going forward it might be useful to add this to your .bash_aliases file alias rm='rm -i' -- it will prompt you for deletion
[15:35] <llutz> arand: no
[15:35] <Shirotoko> xnox, sorry /home/.local/share/trash
[15:35] <deany> are these to do with the ati radeon driver?  libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa mesa-utils
[15:35] <arand> llutz: then how?
[15:35] <Uuu> so, symlinks are always 777 :)
[15:35] <mrwes> Shirotoko, not if he rm'd it
[15:35] <GrimJack> erUSUL: Understood. Rebooting into live CD now.
[15:35] <erUSUL> arand: yes a link is just another file
[15:36] <Houba1986> hey, i have a problem, whenever i go to login to a site such as facebook, it says waiting for login.facebook.com, but then nothing loads.... til it times out. how do i fix this??? some other sites aren't loading as well... i know the problem isn't in my internet, cuz my other laptop with windows is working fine
[15:36] <xnox> Shirotoko: there is nothing there =( Oh well gonna read links now
[15:36] <arand> erUSUL: I tried using chmod on a symlink and it failed with no errors (i.e. permissions remained 777 after chmod 755
[15:36] <GrimJack> erUSUL: rebooting into the life CD and issuing fdisk shows the drive now...
[15:36] <mrwes> xnox, files deleted from the command line with rm do NOT goto your trash folder
[15:37] <Cpudan80> arand: symlinks do not need chmodding
[15:37] <Uuu> arand: you change permissions for destin=ation file, not symlink itself
[15:37] <mrwes> xnox, use the rm -i alias I posted earlier
[15:37] <Cpudan80> arand: chmod the thing it points to
[15:37] <Houba1986> does anyone know what the problem could be?
[15:37] <erUSUL> GrimJack: as i said i would backup all important data ASAP.
[15:37] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I will again try "e2fsck -y -b 8193 /dev/sdb2"
[15:37] <arand> Cpudan80: Uuu: so you are saying symlinks are _always_ 777 then?
[15:38] <erUSUL> Houba1986: try this « echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling » then try to access the probelmatic sites
[15:38] <codered> Hi, can anyone help me with transferring files?
[15:38] <Uuu> arand: it seems so :) it's no need to worry, permissions are available for files they point to.
[15:38] <mrwes> codered, to and from where?
[15:39] <codered> from an mmc card into another folder (samba?)
[15:39] <GrimJack> erUSUL: bad magic number error, trying with 32768
[15:39] <codered> im trying to copy binary files and its saying symlinks is not supported or something
[15:39] <arand> Uuu: yes, I'm not worried, just collecting info for a bug.
[15:39] <Houba1986> erUSUL: nope, same problem
[15:40] <erUSUL> Houba1986: undo the change « echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling »
[15:40] <Uuu> arand: if you need to know file perms, try ls -lL symbolic-link
[15:40] <Uuu> or so
[15:40] <GrimJack> erUSUL: some progress, I got a /dev/sdb2 was not cleanly unmounted message and a forced check
[15:41] <arand> Uuu: I know, cheers
[15:41] <Houba1986> erUSUL: any other suggestions as to how to fix this??? :S
[15:42] <codered> is anyone familiar with samba and transferring files into it?
[15:42] <erUSUL> Houba1986: nope sorry
[15:42] <Uuu> Why my irssi with /join joins to current "window"? (/join is not an alias to something else.)
[15:42] <Cpudan80> arand: they use the permissions of hte thing they point at - but if you do ls -a you see they have like rwxrwxrwx
[15:42] <Cpudan80> arand: they aren't actually 777 though
[15:43] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: irssi opens a new window for that channel you joined and moves focus to that one as well?
[15:43] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: No; it joines to current window, no new one is created.
[15:44] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: or does it replace the current channel (number n) with a new one (the same number?
[15:44] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: It behaves so after /wjoin and then /join... A bug?
[15:44] <Lost_Lobo> weird, I can get online via my broadband modem ... while in liove cd version, but not in the native hd version
[15:44] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: When I'm on channel 1 and /join 2, current window is connected to the two channels.
[15:44] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I suspect that because this happened when I went to Jaunty that something in the kernel isn't happy with the Dell BIOS. (My Ubuntu is on a Dell e520)
[15:44] <Lost_Lobo> liove = live
[15:45] <buch> !reset panel
[15:45] <arand> Cpudan80: yea, if you "enter" a link you get the permissions of target, but the linkfile in itself always are on lrwxrwxrwx perms right?
[15:45] <buch> !panel
[15:45] <codered> !samba
[15:45] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: is the channel #2 also window number 2?
[15:45]  * Lost_Lobo is just going to RTFM though  :)
[15:45] <GrimJack> erUSUL: Pass 1 complete, Pass2 in progress
[15:45] <Lost_Lobo> interesting though
[15:45] <buch> !panels
[15:45] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: "2" is only an example, and it means #channelname ;)
[15:46] <infrid> hi there, does wget store certificates locally?
[15:46] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: i know what you meant but i have to exclude the possibility of user error :)
[15:46] <GrimJack> erUSUL: All passes complete. It auto-fixes a LOT of inodes, but finished.
[15:46] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: clear :)
[15:46] <infrid> I've got a problem with a cert on my box.. I wget https://urlThatHadABrokenCert
[15:47] <infrid> and I can only access it with --no-check-certificate flag
[15:47] <infrid> is it possible it is storing a cert locally on my box?
[15:47] <GrimJack> erUSUL: would it worthwhile to issue a 'fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb2' again, just to safe?
[15:47] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: seems like a strange error, not sure if that could be a bug or just some mis-tweak in your settings
[15:47] <infrid> I didn't think wget would store cert's locally
[15:47] <SodaCan> I'm trying to get vnc4server to startup without a screen plugged in. When there is no screen plugged in ubuntu complains about it being in low resolution and vnc doesn't start up.. When I've got a screen plugged in ubuntu logs me in and starts up vnc4sever. Any ideas?
[15:47] <moiubuntu> !tell moiubuntu about intel
[15:48] <erUSUL> GrimJack: do not think so
[15:48] <moiubuntu> ok hang on where is intrepid support? #ubuntu-1 ?
[15:48] <moiubuntu> :/
[15:49] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: are the channels in split windows?
[15:49] <vG|qum^> Good morning.ץ
[15:49] <moiubuntu> does anyone here have any idea about intel card on 8.10?
[15:49] <moiubuntu> thanks
[15:49] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: I have Hardy's  irssi 0.8.12 (20071006 0939)... I'll try to reproduce this and check if it would be possible with a new version if installing it would not mean to compile too much or so ;)
[15:49] <W0light> Hello all
[15:50] <GrimJack> erUSUL: since I've now run fsck on /dev/sdb2 and it completed clean, would it be safe in your opinion to reboot again and try to log in so I can do a rsync to a backup USB drive?
[15:50] <codered> Is anyone good with transferring files into samba?
[15:50] <IdleOne> moiubuntu: support for Intrepid is in this channel
[15:50] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: more than 1 window on screen? No, I use "fullscreen" windows (inside screen program).
[15:50] <erUSUL> GrimJack: i would do the rsync from a livecd. but you can try what you say.
[15:50] <moiubuntu> IdleOne: ok. that's good i need help with intel card you got a clue?
[15:50] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: http://irssi.org/documentation/startup#c2
[15:50] <moiubuntu> and thanks
[15:51] <moiubuntu> :)
[15:51]  * W0light just noticed how easy it would be to typo "ass" for "all" on a dvorak KB
[15:51] <IdleOne> moiubuntu: describe your issue and what card is it. someone will help if they can
[15:51] <IdleOne> !ot > W0light
[15:51] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: i assume that you also understand the concept of window as it's meant to be understood in the context of irssi
[15:52] <moiubuntu> IdleOne: sounds good.. intel card on 8.10 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) with 2.6.27-14-generic. X is not starting up!
[15:52] <erUSUL> !intel > moiubuntu
[15:52] <Paavi2_0> Uuu: ...since it's not the same thing as in KDE or Gnome.
[15:53] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I will try to log in, but will stay in this channel... thnak so much for your time and patience thus far.
[15:53] <moiubuntu> erUSUL: that does not help. its for jaunty and kernel 2.6.30 does not install
[15:53] <erUSUL> GrimJack: no problem; good luck
[15:53] <Guest41696> I am a linux_newbie and i like to know what i can do witch linux
[15:54] <moiubuntu> i dont want to do a dist-upgrade for intel now is that a joke!! haha
[15:54] <IdleOne> moiubuntu: unfortunately it is not
[15:54] <moiubuntu> IdleOne: but it is
[15:55] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: I know that there are window modes etc. I understand windows to be "regions" I can switch :] /// Reading docs you gave me link to.
[15:55] <IdleOne> moiubuntu: yeah I hear you
[15:55] <moiubuntu> IdleOne: i can save my pain just by reverting back to 2.6.27-11 and be done with it.
[15:55] <moiubuntu> moiubuntu: wanted to try the newer kernel and oh the suffering!!!
[15:55] <bmunger> How would I setup a user's computer to connect back to my computer using vncserver in connect mode to traverse the firewall?  I'm looking for a way to have a icon to be clicked when support is needed
[15:55] <Guest41696> how i do know if i have the right linux kernel for ubuntu
[15:56] <erUSUL> Guest41696: sudo aptitude install linux-image
[15:56] <Guest41696> what is that
[15:56] <FloridaGuy> whats some good printing packages for photo's that have different templates ...like for my printer in windows i can print oval shape photo's
[15:56] <moiubuntu> oh well back to square one.. either dist-upgrade|live_with_2.6.27-11
[15:56] <Paavi2_0> Guest41696: what do you mean by "the right linux kernel"?
[15:56] <Guest41696> does the kernel up dated
[15:57] <moiubuntu> laterz
[15:57] <moiubuntu> thanks anyways no matter how pathetic the solution is
[15:57] <Chun1> Any way to temporarily disable compiz with a command?
[15:57] <erUSUL> Chun1: metacity --replace
[15:57] <JohnMcClane> who's the behind linux kernel that we are using right now?
[15:58] <tp_> i have a problem in voice using voip.. any solutions?
[15:58] <moiubuntu> JohnMcClane: some kernel moron
[15:58] <Chun1> erUSUL: awesome, thanks. I don
[15:58] <Chun1> I don't suppose there's a way of disabling compiz plugins by command?
[15:58] <Boohbah> Guest84981: what do you mean by updated? are you looking for a particular driver? if you mean security fixes, all current releases have kernels with backported security fixes
[15:58] <my_key> FloridaGuy:  you could use phatch (or imagemagic if you want to do it the hard way) and the gimp
[15:58] <my_key> I don't know of any particular printing packages
[15:58] <moiubuntu> sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko  insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
[15:59] <moiubuntu> wow!
[15:59] <Guest84981> Wrong guest
[15:59] <Boohbah> oops wrong guest
[15:59] <Guest84981> :P
[15:59] <Boohbah> :)
[15:59] <erUSUL> moiubuntu: use modprobe
[15:59] <moiubuntu> erUSUL: same
[15:59] <FloridaGuy> my_key, ok......what you mean the hardway
[15:59] <Paavi2_0> Chun1: no, you only can disable some effects from compiz's settings or disable compiz altogether by replacing compiz with metacity
[16:00] <moiubuntu> http://pastebin.com/ma05df02
[16:00] <codered> Is anyone good with transferring files into samba?  I'm getting an error about symlinks not being supported
[16:00] <moiubuntu> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/ma05df02
[16:00] <bobbob1016> I have an eeepc, I have full ubuntu installed, and configured, but I'm using the generic kernel, on array.org the jaunty kernel is "testing" has anyone used this kernel?  Is it stable enough to use or no?
[16:01] <Chun1> Paavi2_0: thanks, ok. replacing with metacity seems to work fine, but when I switch back to compiz, I seem to lose my panels
[16:01] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I was able to boot to my desktop. It seems to have 'forgotten' my desktop resolution, but that's easily fixed. Right now I'm formatting a new 1TB HDD in a USB enclosure to start the rsync
[16:01] <erUSUL> moiubuntu: Invalid module format <<< o.0! file corrupted ? try reinstalling the kernel
[16:01] <my_key> FloridaGuy:  phatch is a way easier image batch processing tool (nice GUI, point and click, very clear) and imagemagic is a bit more involved (long command lines or script writing)
[16:01] <moiubuntu> erUSUL: ok.. let's that a go

[16:01] <codered> Is anyone good with transferring files into samba?  I'm getting an error about symlinks not being supported
[16:01] <erUSUL> GrimJack: ok; during fsck many files could have been lost or moved to /lost+found/
[16:02] <Paavi2_0> Chun1: that's strange... that is either temporary or you might just have to restart the panels manually. first check if there's a process present for the panel...
[16:02] <noobez> hi guys, i want to add new backgrounds files to "wallpapers", if i do when i reboot it doesnt find em cuz my hd's dont get automounted, how do i copy my background files to /wallpapers in order to make ubuntu get them from there instead of searching em in a path that is not automounted? thanks
[16:03] <Paavi2_0> !u | noobez
[16:03] <FloridaGuy> my_key, ok ill give phatch atry
[16:03] <moiubuntu> erUSUL: time for a reboot you say?
[16:03] <moiubuntu> oh well, how sweet we got a notification
[16:04] <erUSUL> moiubuntu: no; try again to load the module agpgart
[16:04] <moiubuntu> sure thanks
[16:04] <sproingie> real quick Q, how do i get a compose key?  i'm not seeing anything in system->preferences->keyboard that jumps out at me
[16:04] <moiubuntu> erUSUL: same
[16:04] <noobez> hi guys, i want to add new backgrounds files to "wallpapers", if i do when i reboot it doesn't find em because my hard drives don't get automounted, how do i copy my background files to /wallpapers in order to make ubuntu get them from there instead of searching them in a path that is not automounted? thanks
[16:04] <Paavi2_0> noobez: cp /path/to/background/file /wallpapers
[16:04] <moiubuntu> lol
[16:04] <erUSUL> moiubuntu: :|
[16:05] <moiubuntu> erUSUL: back to -11
[16:05] <moiubuntu> laterz
[16:05] <moiubuntu> :(
[16:05] <noobez> Paavi2_0: this is if i do it from a terminal but where do I "physically" find /wallpapers?
[16:06] <sproingie> ah nevermind, found it under layout options
[16:06] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I will check /lost + found/ for residue... still formatting my backup monster.
[16:06] <Paavi2_0> noobez: that's a very good question. :) are you using gnome or kde? in other words: ordinary ubuntu or kubuntu?
[16:07] <legend2440> noobez: /usr/share/backgrounds
[16:07] <noobez> Paavi2_0: ordinary ubuntu
[16:08] <omnomnOMINOUS> hi! should i be using tracker or beagle, or something entirely different? which is going to be officially supported in upcoming releases?
[16:08] <[tla]> Hi.  I used aptoncd and have moved the iso to the target system.  I have mounted the aptoncd iso on a loop fs.  The target system does not have aptoncd installed but I see it in the mounted /packages directory.  How do I install aptoncd on the target so I can restore the aptoncd disk image?  Thx
[16:08] <Paavi2_0> noobez: /usr/share/backgrounds
[16:09] <CodeRed> Is anyone good with transferring files into samba? I'm getting a symlinks is not supported error
[16:09] <Spike1506> sometimes compiz glitches (mostly after using the system for a while). I have to press alt+f2 and restart compiz to fix it (windows just show half etc.) im having a ati graphics card
[16:09] <Paavi2_0> noobez: if you're unable to copy with cp then add sudo in front...
[16:09] <is0dvil> ewrqr
[16:09] <noobez> legend2440: thanks but in that path i have other images i've never seen and that don't get shown in "change desktop background/wallpaper"
[16:09] <Uuu> Paavi2_0: for now, I cannot make the problem with irssi to appear (but I remember that was not the first time the bug-not-bug happened). However, thanks for your time :)
[16:09] <noobez> Paavi2_0: thanks but in that path i have other images i've never seen and that don't get shown in "change desktop background/wallpaper"
[16:10] <legend2440> noobez: yes they dont get shown until you Add them
[16:10] <Uuu> CodeRed: I think the filesystem you are trying to copy files to with Samba does not support Linux symbolic links. Maybe just omit these files. --- I suppose.
[16:10] <g0tcha> hey guys, is this normal when installing ubuntu 9.04 http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7896/28082009049.jpg ?
[16:10] <noobez> legend2440: so where are those 2 ubuntu default images shown in there?
[16:10] <erUSUL> [tla]: afaik you can add the cdrom as a normal source
[16:11] <Paavi2_0> noobez: but that's the proper place to copy them and you can add them by using the add thingy in change desktop/wallpaper :)
[16:11] <CodeRed> Is omitting those going to mess up any of the other scripts?
[16:11] <erUSUL> [tla]: man apt-cdrom
[16:11] <Paavi2_0> noobez: then you at least will propably remember best where you left them
[16:11] <legend2440> noobez: hover your mouse over them and path to files will show where they are
[16:11] <[criipt]> Is there a applet similar to kpf in gnome.
[16:11] <[criipt]> ?
[16:11] <Plankt0n> how can i protect my wallpaper?
[16:11] <noobez> Paavi2_0: i know i can but i've already told you before, the files i want to add are in an hd that doesnt get automounted at boot, so if i add them, at the next boot they're not there anymore :D
[16:12] <Paavi2_0> noobez: just copy those files to /usr/share/backgrounds and _then_ add them!
[16:12] <g0tcha> anyone?
[16:12] <noobez> legend2440: thanks, now i can see where they are :D
[16:12] <noobez> Paavi2_0: thanks
[16:13] <FloridaGuy> my_key, phatch wont open...it opens a little picture on the screen with a crama....and stuff that says phatch and thats all it does
[16:13] <Uuu> CodeRed: You try to copy files with a script? Command in terminal?
[16:13] <Lint01> how can I share a folder between users?
[16:13] <CodeRed> Uuu: No i just tried copying and pasting
[16:14] <Paavi2_0> noobez: you're welcome! i'm off to work now -->
[16:14] <my_key> FloridaGuy: After processing the images with phatch (check http://photobatch.stani.be for how to use it, it's really simple once you uderstand the process) you can put multiple photo's on one page easily with photoprint or gnome photo printer (they are in the repo's)
[16:14] <FloridaGuy> my_key, ok thanks
[16:15] <my_key> FloridaGuy: hmm. you installed it from the rep's right?
[16:15] <mark__> hi my name is jimmy
[16:15] <FloridaGuy> my_key, yep
[16:15] <netyire> hello fluffy teddy bears!
[16:15] <mark__> well!
[16:15] <netyire> :-)
[16:16] <netyire> well, that went well...
[16:16] <Le-Chuck_ITA> A friend of mine downloaded ubuntu 9.10 and he gets a prompt at boot instead of the language selection screen, do you know what could have happened? He is 1000km far away from me
[16:16] <my_key> FloridaGuy: and you don't get the phatch screen with "click + to add actions" and the logo and stuff?
[16:17] <majnoon> just need to figure out how to setup wifi in commandline in linux
[16:17] <FloridaGuy> my_key, nope...just the loading screen
[16:17] <xorigin> Le-Chuck_ITA: #ubuntu+1 for karmic
[16:17] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I mean he gets the prompt at boot on the livecd
[16:17] <FloridaGuy> my_key, ill figure it out..i gota run the mother enlaw somewherer
[16:17] <my_key> FloridaGuy: does it give an error message when you try and run it from the teminal?
[16:17] <Le-Chuck_ITA> sorry xorigin I meant 9.04
[16:18] <my_key> FloridaGuy: ok! good luck.
[16:18] <sebastian_> hey guys, im trying to install a sound theme but i dont know how to install is xD i tried the sound option in prefences but i could find anything there either, anyone got any ideas?
[16:19] <roy_> hiiiiiiiiii
[16:20] <sebastian_> no one know how to install a sound theme?
[16:20] <pe> hi, can I scale my windows automatically to the half of my screen?
[16:20] <FloridaGuy> my_key, http://pastebin.com/m105acf09    .....send me a pm...with if you figure it out..and ill look at it when i get back
[16:21] <sebastian_> wow what a worthless channel..
[16:22] <Dunge> Anyone can tell me where does libtool search for libs? I though it was /etc/ld.so.conf but everythign seems right there.. it search libstdc++.la in a path of my crosstool tests that shouldn't exist anymore
[16:22] <FloridaGuy> my_key, guess i got about 15 min
[16:24] <my_key> FloridaGuy: I 'm afraid I cannot help you with that. Can't make any sense of it...
[16:24] <FloridaGuy> my_key, i know the loading screen is still open..i do i close it
[16:25] <my_key> If anyone else might be able to check floridaguy's error message? It's concerning the python package "phatch" installed from the repo's
[16:26] <nation> can i remote to this laptop over the internet?
[16:27] <FloridaGuy> bbl
[16:27] <my_key> FloridaGuy: press alt+F2 then type xkill  > cursor changes into a cross and you can "kill" the process creating the window
[16:28] <bobbob1016> How would I setup a software RAID-1?  Everything I'm finding is how to install to one, but I don't need that, I just want to use it as storage, not as /
[16:29] <erUSUL> bobbob1016: just use mdadm to assemble thw array. then mount it whatever you want
[16:29] <GrimJack> erUSUL: Still there?
[16:30] <erUSUL> GrimJack: yep
[16:30] <erUSUL> !raid | bobbob1016
[16:31] <GrimJack> erUSUL: The man page for rsync is very complex. Is there a generally known command to backup a /home directory that inclused all recursive directories and hidden folders?
[16:31] <squigle> is there a way to see what and when things were installed? I have an issue where x keeps on crashing on me and I want to see if an auto update may have affected X11
[16:31] <bobbob1016> erUSUL: So basically it isn't hard at all?  I'd assume mdadm lets me specify the drives to raid?
[16:32] <mrwes> GrimJack, rsync --verbose -ae /path/to/folder /path/to/folder
[16:32] <tyler_d> keystore.ubuntu.com is not responsive from terminal... timeout... anyone have a suggestion or know anything about this?
[16:32] <brunob> n
[16:32] <maco> GrimJack: the manage shows that -a does the whole combination necessary for a backup. i use -av so itll list what its backing up as it goes
[16:32] <mrwes> GrimJack, you could also use the --delete option for files you delete from the source
[16:33] <Dunge> I wonder what will be the fastest.. getting an answer from this channel or waiting for my "find / | xargs grep "/opt/crosstool"
[16:33] <Dunge> Anyone can tell me where does libtool search for libs? I though it was /etc/ld.so.conf but everythign seems right there.. it search libstdc++.la in a path of my crosstool tests that shouldn't exist anymore
[16:33] <ecolitan> I cannot get rsakey authentication working to a particular host, the config I am using works with other hosts but one in particular doesnt work, i need hwlp with troubleshooting it
[16:34] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I'm starting a 'rsync --verbose -ae /path /path" now.
[16:34] <squigle> Dunge, did you run ldconfig or what ever after changing it?
[16:34] <mrwes> GrimJack, this is what I use in my crontab:  rsync -av --delete --progress  /media/external/Documents /data/backup
[16:34] <Dunge> squigle : after changing what?... well yes I just tried ldconfig but it didn't do anything
[16:35] <mneptok> GrimJack: you don;t want or need --progress on a homedir rsync. but --stats si helpful.
[16:35] <mneptok> *is
[16:35] <Dunge> squigle : ldconfig -p | grep std gives me the correct path, not the erronous one
[16:35] <squigle> Dunge, the only 2 other places that get checked  is in your LD_LIBRARY_etc env variable and you can hard set binnaries to search for paths (though I dont know how to do that)
[16:36] <legend2440> squigle: there is          /var/log/dpkg.log       or open synaptic > File>History to see whats been installed
[16:36] <Dunge> does X have it's own env var session? cause my terminal env var seems fine but maybe I should restart X
[16:36] <squigle> thanks legend2440
[16:37] <meglo> hey I get a bunch of ATA DRTY errors upon boot. This is probably because I shoved like 3 disks in the box plus like 4 disc drives in and(oh they aren't all detected because i screwed up the IDE jumpers). ANyway afterwards I boots fine, are there any scripts I should look at and modify so its skips those checks? I really don't want to open this box again.
[16:37] <meglo> I can't find any of the preboot checks
[16:37] <GrimJack> erUSUL: Apparently, I don't have permission because the permissions of the drive cannot be determined. I'll have to remount.
[16:37] <meglo> they don't show up in dmesg
[16:37] <mrwes> GrimJack, you might need to preface that with sudo
[16:39] <Spike1506> sometimes compiz glitches (mostly after using the system for a while). I have to press alt+f2 and restart compiz to fix it (windows just show half etc.) im having a ati graphics card
[16:39] <llua> after i installed my nvidia drivers x wont start
[16:39] <erUSUL> GrimJack: use sudo or root
[16:39] <mrwes> yah :)
[16:39] <IonutB> should i use an antivirus on ubuntu ?
[16:40] <erUSUL> !av
[16:40] <mrwes> IonutB, are you sharing files back and forth with Windows' machines?
[16:40] <IonutB> mrwes, no
[16:40] <mrwes> IonutB, then no
[16:41] <IonutB> tnx :D
[16:41] <llua> after i installed my nvidia drivers, xserver wont start
[16:42] <hazzy> llua: What driver version did you install?
[16:42] <GrimJack> erUSUL: Is my thinking wrong? I was under the belief that files I backup ought to have user permissions, not su/root ones... so I ought to be able to rsync from /home to /home_backup as a user, right?
[16:42] <shazbotmcnasty> hallo, simple problem now, I installed a new gtk theme, and it's dark. This made it so I can't read input fields in firefox because the input box and the text is dark.
[16:43] <erUSUL> GrimJack: you should be able yes... but who know maybe soe permissions got foobard during the fsck...
[16:43] <llua> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run
[16:43] <shazbotmcnasty> So does anyone have a userChrome.css (or know of one) that would help me out?
[16:43] <llua> hazzy: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run
[16:43] <GrimJack> erUSUL: There are no premissions on the freshly formatted backup HDD.
[16:43] <hazzy> llua: Are you at tty1 right now?
[16:43] <GrimJack> erUSUL: I can't, as a user, even create a folder.
[16:43] <llua> no im not
[16:44] <llua> hazzy: no im not
[16:44] <sidp> Hi does anyone know whether the ati display driver issue has been fixed in the 9.04
[16:44] <hazzy> llua: Did you try 'startx'/'gdm start'?
[16:45] <llua> hazzy i tried both
[16:45] <llua> hazzy: but get a error
[16:45] <erUSUL> GrimJack: that's the permissions on the backup disk. just create a folder with sudo and xchange ownership to your user. then copy the files to that folder

[16:51] <Machtin> hm.. when i use thunderbird on windows with googlemail imap, i receive my emails when they arrive - with maximum 2s delay, i'd say.. when i use claws-mail here, it's just the usual delay like on pop (client checks every 10minutes).. why is that so fast on thunderbird?
[16:51] <llua> hazzy: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-kernel-source-* nvidia-glx-* is the whole command?
[16:51] <hazzy> Err, wait..'sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*-kernel-source nvidia-glx-* && nvidia-common'

[17:00] <MTeck> prakash_: firefox has its own built in download manager

[17:03] <nation> is there  a list posted of these common commands ???
[17:03] <th0r> sachael: mc is a command line version, and I think there is a gnome version...gmc maybe
[17:04] <MTeck> prakash_: why can't you - what kind of error do you get?
[17:04] <[criipt]> !find v4l-tool
[17:04] <sachael> man, finder has so much features I want in a file manager. I wish someone makes a clone :|
[17:05] <yoni> Hi all :)
[17:05] <g0tcha> hey guys, im trying to install a fresh version of 9.04 but its giving me this error http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/8682/28082009052c.jpg
[17:05] <yoni> I'm using the uptime command to see, from time-to-time, how long my system is up.
[17:05] <g0tcha> it cannot mount the filesystem it needs, so what should i do?
[17:05] <MTeck> sachael: You could add a patch to nautilus for it.. it already has most of the features needed for that
[17:05] <dvz-> is there a way to prevent gnome's desktop from coming to the front when switching apps/workspaces?  i.e. I use screen in terminator (fullscreen) and when i switch to a diff. workspace and prog and switch back to the terminator workspace, i have to click terminator to bring it to front
[17:05] <dvz-> any ideas?
[17:06] <fahadsadah> LordLandon: Hi
[17:06] <yoni> Today I've heard about the "procinfo" command and installed it; though I notice that the uptime value from the uptime command is different from the uptime value that produce by the "procinfo" command, why is it?
[17:06] <prakash_> i installed d4x now thanks.
[17:06] <MTeck> dvz-: are you using compiz?
[17:06] <fahadsadah> yoni: What are the two uptimes?
[17:07] <yoni> fahadsadah, never mind my wrong :P
[17:07] <dvz-> MTeck: i have a config file for it but it's not actively installed atm
[17:07] <yoni> Again I was looking on the first part of uptime value as uptime, and not as clock time =\ lol
[17:07] <dvz-> MTeck: it didn't act like this before I upgraded to the Karmic alpha
[17:07] <yoni> *my mistake ^^^
[17:08] <vikb> vpnc asks me for 2 password one is an XAuth and another along with the IP address ... Are the 2 same?
[17:09] <g0tcha> anyone know what should b done next?
[17:09] <vikb> vpnc doesn't recognise my second password at all... So not sure what to provide there?
[17:09] <MTeck> dvz-: I'm on Karmic without that issue
[17:10] <MTeck> dvz-: but you should go into #ubuntu+1 for support
[17:10] <azlon> is there something similar to task manage where i can see a gui of my processes and their cpu/memory usage?
[17:11] <sidp> MTeck: where did you get karmic from?
[17:11] <MTeck> !karmic
[17:11] <US\mroberts> I have a problem creating users, and with authorizations in general, can anyone here help please ?
[17:11] <fahadsadah> !hoary
[17:11] <MTeck> cdimage.ubuntu.com
[17:12] <fahadsadah> Just checking
[17:12] <g0tcha> so anyone knows wht i should do witht his install partition error im getting?
[17:12] <MTeck> azlon: system > administration > system monitor
[17:12] <sidp> MTeck: are you aware of whether the ati display driver issues have been resolved in 9.04?
[17:12] <th0r> g0tcha: you need to create a partition (ext3 or ext4) to install to
[17:13] <MTeck> sidp: not really - I don't follow video issues
[17:13] <krang> He all, I just pressed some keys that zoomed in on my desktop, and now I'm stuck. How do I get out?
[17:13] <g0tcha> th0r, i did it automaticly,
[17:13] <g0tcha> th0r, so i should Go Back?
[17:13] <th0r> g0tcha: well, you can't go forward
[17:13] <US\mroberts> When I try to use 'Users and Groups' from the Administration menu, it says 'The configuration could not be loaded"
[17:14] <krang> I guess this is cheaper than glasses, but I'd love to see my whole desktop again
[17:14] <g0tcha> th0r, ok.. so i shouldnt click on "Use the inter disk" ?
[17:14] <US\mroberts> When I try to create a user using adduser, and then try to set the password it says 'passwd: Authentication token manipulation error'
[17:15] <MTeck> US\mroberts: what commands did you run?
[17:15] <th0r> g0tcha: I don't know...don't know what you are using, what you are trying to do, what you already told the install to do.....
[17:15] <US\mroberts> From Gnome just 'Users and groups"
[17:15] <g0tcha> th0r, its a new machine with a formatted harddrive, im planning to install 9.04 in it
[17:15] <US\mroberts> @MTeck and from a terminal adduser and passwd
[17:16] <g0tcha> th0r, when i choose "Use the entire disk" it ends up with that error i postead earlier
[17:16] <MTeck> US\mroberts: that doesn't exactly tell me what commands you ran
[17:16] <th0r> g0tcha: how big is the hard drive?
[17:16] <g0tcha> th0r, only 40gb
[17:16] <vikb> what are the 2 passwords asked in vpnc??
[17:18] <US\mroberts> @MTeck I did 'sudo adduser eyew' and then 'sudo passwd eyew' . During the adduser it said : passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[17:18] <g0tcha> th0r, thats what i see right now http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/8818/28082009054.jpg
[17:18] <th0r> g0tcha: how much memory?
[17:18] <g0tcha> 256
[17:19] <g0tcha> mb
[17:19] <distinctblur> Hey team. When I start up in 9.04, my notebook picks up the wireless network for about 10 seconds, then drops it, then picks it up again. After it picks up again I have no further issues until I restart.
[17:19] <MTeck> US\mroberts: sudo -s; userdel eyew; useradd -m -s /bin/bash eyew; passwd eyew
[17:20] <th0r> g0tcha: ok...if you check use the entire disk, and then click OK or GO or whatever...it should reformat the drive to ext3
[17:21] <g0tcha> th0r, thats what i did, but it gave me that error everytime =/
[17:21] <RanyAlbeg> hi , im installing gtk+ 2.17 from source. i now there are 2 dependencies , pango and glib. i installed them both. now after unpacking gtk+2.17 i go to the created library and ./configre. then i try to execute make , and it tells me that he can not find the make file. when i ls the dir i see there are 4 makefiles : Makefile.am /.decl/.in/.msc . can u help me think what do to ? thank you very much
[17:21] <MTeck> distinctblur: That sounds like a bug - you might want to report a bug report about it. You could also join #ubuntu-bugs to find details to reporpt with that
[17:21] <Machtin> hm.. when i use thunderbird on windows with googlemail imap, i receive my emails when they arrive - with maximum 2s delay, i'd say.. when i use claws-mail here, it's just the usual delay like on pop (client checks every 10minutes).. why is that so fast on thunderbird?
[17:21] <th0r> g0tcha: I see what it is....the drive is already partitioned and there isn't enough for ubuntu. Choose custom partitioning
[17:21] <distinctblur> MTeck: I figured as much. Just wanted to know if anyone saw the same. Thanks.
[17:21] <US\mroberts> @Mteck - same thing, getting the "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error" when I do the passwd command
[17:22] <MTeck> US\mroberts: pastebin everything
[17:22] <grawity> Machtin: IMAP has a feature called 'IMAP IDLE'. When IDLE is used, then, after you open Thunderbird, it keeps the connection open, and tells the server to notify about new messages.
[17:22] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: you had an error in ./configure
[17:22] <th0r> g0tcha: then delete all three partitions, and we will start over. First create a / partition of about 10GB
[17:22] <fahadsadah> US\mroberts: Also, is there an entry in /etc/shadow for the user?
[17:22] <Machtin> grawity: now that's cool.. thanks :9
[17:22] <g0tcha> th0r, so specify them munually?
[17:22] <Machtin> :)
[17:22] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: are you sure?
[17:22] <g0tcha> th0r, ok let me try that
[17:22] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: or you are asking
[17:22] <th0r> g0tcha: create a swap partition of 768MB
[17:22] <tyler_d> keystore.ubuntu.com is not responsive from terminal... timeout... anyone have a suggestion or know anything about this?
[17:23] <th0r> g0tcha: and use the rest to create a /home partition, both / and /home should be ext3
[17:23] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: pastebin the output
[17:23] <grawity> tyler_d: Try using pool.sks-keyservers.net instead.
[17:23] <US\mroberts> @Mteck pastebin is new to me - is that an IRC feature ? I'm using XChat
[17:23] <sebsebseb> hi
[17:23] <fahadsadah> tyler_d: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/keystore.ubuntu.com
[17:23] <MTeck> !pastebin
[17:23] <grawity> tyler_d: also, the server name starts with 'keyserver', not 'keystore'
[17:23] <g0tcha> th0r, so i should manually add 10gb for / and then go back and use "install on entire disk" ?
[17:23] <grawity> US\mroberts: A pastebin is basically a website where you can paste a lot of text. See ubottu's message for more information.
[17:23] <th0r> g0tcha: no
[17:24] <US\mroberts> @fahadsadah - yes, it's in /etc/shadow
[17:24] <grawity> Machtin: Claws doesn't support IMAP IDLE, so it can only check every few minutes - http://www.nabble.com/-Bug-1748--Please-add-support-for-IMAP-IDLE-td19842994.html
[17:24] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: you are right. i ran it again and i see that GLIB 2.21.3 or better is requierd. its weird cuz i already installed glib-2.21.5
[17:24] <th0r> g0tcha: delete all three partitions that exist now. Then define the three the way I just laid out, and then just go forward...don't tell it to use the entire disk...you do that when yo uuse the whole thing for partitions
[17:24] <Machtin> grawity: just found the same one :) thanks
[17:24] <krang> Seriously, does *anyone* know how to unzoom the desktop?
[17:25] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: welcome to the world of compiling ;) - can be a pita sometimes - even with configures
[17:25] <g0tcha> th0r, ah ok .. i understand... ill try that now
[17:25] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: do you have any idea?
[17:25] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: :)
[17:25] <AvonGenesis> I can't seem to install the repo key for wine ubuntu. The link seems to be down. Any ideas?
[17:26] <US\mroberts> @MTeck http://paste.ubuntu.com/260996
[17:26] <US\mroberts> @grawity - thanks
[17:26] <grawity> krang: Try holding the key with Windows logo, then use the scroll wheel on your mouse.
[17:26] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: not without that pastebin I asked for ;)
[17:26] <g0tcha> th0r, i dont remember going through all that when i installed ubuntu 8 once a while ago
[17:27] <krang> grawity: Ahhh, blissful. Thanks!
[17:27] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: just a sec my dear
[17:27] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: :)
[17:27] <grawity> krang: You can disable the Zoom plugin, if you want.
[17:27] <grawity> !ccsm | krang
[17:27] <th0r> g0tcha: you don't have to usually, I think you confused it by defining the partitions and then telling it to use all the hard drive
[17:27] <th0r> g0tcha: but it is always a good idea to have a separate home partition
[17:28] <ceil420> where are the workspace settings in ubuntu 9.04? i wanna be able to just move the cursor to the edge of the desktop and move on to the next one, without clicking the pager.
[17:28] <mralexandro> is there anyway i can remove the empty gray space around the white sheet in open office?
[17:28] <g0tcha> th0r, yeah.. thats true..
[17:28] <grawity> ceil420: Are you using Compiz?
[17:28] <MTeck> US\mroberts: ok... you screwed something up..
[17:28] <Usuario1234> wenas
[17:28] <krang> grawity: Naw, just need to learn my shortcuts. I managed to google my may to a page full of them while zoomed in. It was like groping my way around the internet with a pocket flashlight.
[17:28] <MTeck> US\mroberts: is there an entry in /etc/shadow for the user?
[17:28] <ceil420> grawity, just gnome, to my knowledge. i turned off all visual effects
[17:28] <US\mroberts> @MTeck yes
[17:28] <MTeck> US\mroberts: and in /etc/passwd ?
[17:29] <grawity> ceil420: Then it's Metacity. Which, to my knowledge, doesn't have any configuration - besides that on gconf-editor.
[17:29] <US\mroberts> MTeck: yes
[17:29] <klenz87> hey i need some help creating a file share i have an external usb drive connected to my desktop and have have it share according to when i right click and look at sharing options but when i go to my laptop it says un ablle to mount???
[17:29] <ceil420> grawity, i knew gnome didn't deserve a third chance from me >< thanks anyway
[17:29] <john_doe> I have a server connected with lan, and a client connected over wlan (both ubuntu). What would you recommend using for sharing files/folders? I set up nfs but it makes the server's nic stall. Maybe it's not recommendable using nfs over wlan.
[17:30] <friday> wat is the command to check ram and hard disk on ubuntu?
[17:30] <capo> buenas
[17:30] <capo> w
[17:30] <grawity> ceil420: Metacity, not GNOME itself.
[17:30] <ceil420> friday, check hard disk with "df -h"
[17:30] <john_doe> friday: what do you mean by checking?
[17:30] <MTeck> US\mroberts: remove the single line for that user in /etc/shadow /etc/shadow- /etc/passwd /etc/passwd- ; then rm -Rf /home/eyew
[17:30] <ceil420> if you mean free/available size
[17:30] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck:      http://codepad.org/rgWd4Og0
[17:30] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: thanks
[17:30] <MTeck> US\mroberts: then do that exact same thing I told you to again
[17:30] <grawity> ceil420: You could go back to Compiz, and then disable all effects that you don't want.
[17:31] <grawity> !ccsm | ceil420
[17:31] <friday> and ram?
[17:31] <ceil420> friday, there's info on your RAM if you do "cat /proc/meminfo"
[17:31] <ceil420> kinda... verbose, though
[17:31] <ceil420> grawity, cheers
[17:32] <dob1> hi, while using nautilus on some folder i have the "create link" option in right click menu and on other folder i don't have it ? i just want to put a link on desktop on some folder on the fs
[17:32] <dob1> *why
[17:32] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: It says you need to remove GLib 2.18.2
[17:33] <tyler_d> trying to import my key using --- gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --recv-keys --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8 fails????
[17:33] <US\mroberts> MTeck: Still the same thing. The weird thing is that when I try to change any of the authorizations in System -> Administration -> Authorizations that doesn't work either - could these be related ?
[17:33] <mralexandro> my ubntu system just crashed. is there anywhere i can see a log file of that?
[17:33] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: so i need to cd to 2.18 dir and make uninstall?if yes , can you help me find the location?
[17:33] <US\mroberts> MTeck: And when I tried running Users and Groups under sudo the whole GUI was greyed out

[17:34] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: synaptic
[17:35] <friday> in cat /proc/meminfo, i got a big list, which one among that is ram?

[17:36] <ceil420> wtf am i using 3.5gb RAM on...
[17:36] <humbolt> is firefox 3.5 the standard browser in jaunty now?
[17:36] <arvind_khadri> humbolt, it is in karmic
[17:36] <macalan> Its still 3.0.1 I think
[17:37] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: a stuipd question since im not familiar with installing from source . i thought it will be also not so easy.
[17:37] <ceil420> humbolt, gave me 3.0
[17:37] <Lint01> how can I share a folder between users?
[17:37] <mralexandro> MTeck, sorry fell out or something, can you help me to select file, perhaps narrow it down to a copule of logs?
[17:37] <humbolt> arvind_khadri, macalan, ceil420: but when I deinstall it and reinstall firefox, I always get 3.5
[17:37] <ceil420> wtf
[17:37] <humbolt> but not as firefox but as shiretoko
[17:38]  * c0ky is away (Offline.........)
[17:38] <Bearfoot> Lint01, change premission on that folder
[17:38] <arvind_khadri> humbolt, enabled any PPA?
[17:38] <grawity> !ff35
[17:38] <ceil420> free -m shows i'm using 3502 Mem, but top shows Firefox as having the most usage at only 4.7% (of 4gb) and Xorg at 2.7%
[17:38] <g0tcha> th0r, it gaves me the same error on /home ... thats weird
[17:38] <ceil420> are free and used backwards for me on free for some reason? :x
[17:38] <MTeck> ryanakca: what are you trying to obtain by installing the source version
[17:38] <grawity> humbolt: http://is.gd/1reB3 has an explanation on the Firefox name.
[17:38] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: well i see many libglib here.do you remember what the configure log told me to delete?
[17:39] <arvind_khadri> oh cool, i didnt know about that...
[17:39] <ivenkys> does anyone here use truetype fonts on Jaunty
[17:39] <US\mroberts> @MTeck (and all) I think it may be because I'm using likewise to have my machine in a windows machine. I'll have a hunt around. Thanks for trying though
[17:39] <US\mroberts> in a windows domain, rather
[17:40] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: It says you need to remove GLib 2.18.2
[17:40] <grawity> ivenkys: Almost everyone does.
[17:40] <Lint01> Bearfoot: I have the same groupname as my username, how can set permissions for all users?
[17:40] <humbolt> when I try to install firefox it comes with this installation list firefox firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-branding sun-java6-plugin ubufox
[17:41] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: so i guess if i mark one of the libGlib packages for uninstalling it will mark all related. am i right? or do i need to carefully make a selection of packages to remove?
[17:42] <Bearfoot> Lint01, you can creat an new group, add both the users into it (a user can be in several groups) and change the premissions on the folder so that the group can access it
[17:42] <itswhatev> is there a way to reset aptitude's package install/upgrade/remove states?  i accidentally told it to install an entire group of packages that i don't want
[17:42] <ivenkys> grawity: one of the things i want to do is turn autohint on - i know how to do so - however if i understand this correctly , there is freetype autohinting and bytecode interpreter autohinting - i want to find out if the bytecode interpreter is enabled or not in Jaunty .. how do i do that
[17:42] <MTeck> RanyAlbeg: when you remove that package - you could be removing half your system
[17:43] <RanyAlbeg> well , i already applied
[17:43] <RanyAlbeg> MTeck: shit.:D

[17:47] <jkohlmann> power management question - is there a way to disable hibernation over a remote terminal session?
[17:48] <gangil> hi when I am trying to mount an iso with furious mount , I am getting this error http://imagebin.org/61463 , what's the problem?
[17:48] <parapanghelescu> I have pidgin installed as a multiple messenger ; I had no problem with it until 3-4 weeks ago when the file trasfer stopped working; please help until I become insane about this issue ;)
[17:48] <grawity> Did it stop working for all protocols, or just any one of them?
[17:48] <Michalxo> itswhatev, sorry I am lost.. but when you have that list of packages there is no problem to do apt-get remove 'cat file_where_stored_package_names'
[17:49] <parapanghelescu> only for YM ; never tried other protocols anyway
[17:49] <MTeck> mralexandro: I have no idea - unless it happens again though - I wouldn't worry about it

[17:50] <gangil> hi when I am trying to mount an iso with furious mount , I am getting this error http://imagebin.org/61463 , what's the problem?
[17:50] <itswhatev> Michalxo: my problem was that in inadvertently selected all "packages not installed" to be installed, then presssed 'g'.. not sure what apt-get remove will help with there
[17:51] <mralexandro> MTeck, alright, think it was something due to graphics, cause it freesed by flashing firefox from screen one, when i was in terminal in screen 3, then i pressed window selector to choose screen one, and it freesed while changing window, in the middle of a cube roation, i saw "pixels" discolored and stufff, then i restarted
[17:51] <parapanghelescu> DJones > thanks bro ...I did this ..changing the pager server ...solved some issues regarding the connection between pidgin and yahoo ....
[17:51] <rameshwor> is Ubuntu only for newbie ? i mean is there's anything that a expert would want to do and is not available in Ubuntu ??
[17:52] <Michalxo> itswhatev, seems like you did that in synaptic... so maybe it will help you to remove most of the packages ;)
[17:52] <MTeck> mralexandro: ya, that sounds like a compiz glitch
[17:52] <Michalxo> rameshwor, you can do everything in ubuntu.. it's still linux :)
[17:52] <gangil> hi when I am trying to mount an iso with furious mount , I am getting this error http://imagebin.org/61463 , what's the problem?
[17:52] <MTeck> rameshwor: it's fr all users
[17:52] <mralexandro> MTeck, hardware related?
[17:53] <MTeck> rameshwor: very highly advanced users use Ubuntu as well
[17:53] <MTeck> mralexandro: compiz is still young - glitches happen
[17:53] <aaaa> anybody can give me ati beta drivers link on launchpad pls
[17:53] <Michalxo> gangil, is it proper iso file? try mouting with -t udf
[17:53] <mokafolio> hello, I would like to know if there is a way to render crisp, aliased pixelfonts in ubuntu, opengl using freetype? i failed for now and read something about apple having a patend on doing it on unix systems, is there any way to do that anyways?
[17:53] <fizk_> hey guys, I can't find the "new volume control and new Sound Preferences tool." according to GNOME 2.26 release notes
[17:53] <mralexandro> MTeck, alright
[17:53] <rameshwor> ok thanks all guys..
[17:53] <fizk_> i'm using gnome 2.26
[17:53] <jinnstar> is there anyway to combine arguments in grep -v instead of adding addition | grev -v "line" entries to the command?
[17:53] <JaneDoe> my windows computers suddenly don't recognize my ubuntu server by its hostname ("server").  what can i try?
[17:53] <Michalxo> gangil, sudo mount -t udf -o loop /iso/image/path /mount/path
[17:54] <MTeck> JaneDoe: sounds like the fault of the router
[17:54] <aaaa> dsa
[17:54] <aaaa> anybody can give me ati beta drivers link on launchpad pls
[17:54] <JaneDoe> MTeck: oh, that's served by the router?  what kind of a thing am I looking for in router settings?
[17:55] <parapanghelescu> DJones > however , my last installation is with this settings cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com : 5050 and filetransfer.msg.yahoo.com : 80 .....and still it does not work; the pidgin version is 2.6.1 from Ubuntu's rep; I also compiled version 2.5.8 the latest one available from sources but with no luck ....
[17:55] <XQbit> hello people
[17:55] <XQbit> any ideas how to make gba roms work?
[17:55] <klenz87> hey i need some help with file sharing i have an external drive with all my media on it connected to my desktop and shared when i try and access it on my boxee box it says unable to mount windows shares..im running ubuntu on both machines by the way..also in boxee i see the share but it asks for a user name and password i type the one that im guessing it is and it doesnt work either
[17:56] <__theIdiotBox> mokafolio, i guess that'll be a bit difficult...
[17:56] <Enissay> while trying to install jaunty on my laptop, the process stops because af a partitionning error, i restart the machine, but the live cd wont load, and i have error messages =(
[17:56] <klenz87> is there a way mabye to get ride of the user name and passwortd thing
[17:56] <mokafolio> hmm
[17:56] <mokafolio> so there is not really a possibility to do that?
[17:56] <MTeck> ok - I'm going to try to tackle it
[17:56] <__theIdiotBox> klenz87, why do u want it that way?
[17:56] <__theIdiotBox> mokafolio, i'm afraid not
[17:56] <klenz87> __theIdiotBox: want what?
[17:56] <klenz87> __theIdiotBox: i want to share my media files between 2 ubuntu computeres
[17:56] <MTeck> JaneDoe: I can't remember the name of it
[17:57] <mokafolio> what a shame, how can a company have a patent on aliasing fonts :)
[17:57] <DJones> parapanghelescu: I don't use yahoo messenger, so other having read that theres problems and being aware of that factoid, I haven't got any experience with it
[17:57] <__theIdiotBox> klenz87, okey....how do share now? and what do want to do
[17:57] <sarthorks> can i install jaunty from the iso file without burning to a cd? how?
[17:57] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, yep provided u already have linux on ur box
[17:57] <sebsebseb> sarthorks: maybe if you do a  CDFS  partiton or something with the ISO contents
[17:57] <klenz87> well im sharing using smb i believe via right clicking on the folder and going to sharing options and checking the three boxes
[17:58] <sebsebseb> sarthorks: and  you can run an ISO in a virtual machine,  but yeah that's not a real proper install
[17:58] <klenz87> __theIdiotBox: but i cant access my external usb drive that is shared on my other desktop it says unable to mount windows share
[17:58] <mcphail> mokafolio: i'm not sure what you are looking for, but the newer nvidia drivers can hardware accelerate font anti-aliasing
[17:58] <sarthorks> _theidiotbox, i do. please tell me! i used : sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop packages/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso /media/disk
[17:58] <sarthorks> but when i restart, i dont get any boot options.
[17:58] <ninel> after I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 I cant get my wifi activated. I tried with many kernels 2.6.27 to 2.6.31 latest RC none seemed to work for that
[17:58] <mokafolio> i want aliased fonts :P
[17:59] <mokafolio> crisp, pixel fonts
[17:59] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, you just have to make a directory and put the iso there then extract the vmlinuz and initrd and put them in proper place and finally put an entry in grub for that..during boot chose that  and there u are
[17:59] <mokafolio> no anti aliasing
[17:59] <mcphail> mokafolio: sorry - didn't read properly!
[17:59] <__theIdiotBox> klenz87, are you able to access other stuffs from that machine?
[17:59] <mokafolio> no problemo!
[17:59] <Brent_Roth> I'm trying to learn every tidbit of info about memory in ubuntu, anyone have any good sources they recommend?
[18:00] <mariusz__> ema
[18:00] <__theIdiotBox> Brent_Roth, what exactly u wnat to learn?
[18:00] <JaneDoe> MTeck: WINS service perhaps?
[18:00] <Brent_Roth> I'm wanting to know everything from the structure to allocation, deallocation, metadata, etc.
[18:00] <arvind_khadri> sarthorks, use system->admin->create a boot up disk.... using the already downloaded iso, and then make bios to boot from it
[18:00] <klenz87> __theIdiotBox: yes
[18:00] <mariusz__> czesc
[18:00] <klenz87> __theIdiotBox: just the external is giving me the issue

[18:00] <Brent_Roth> __theIdiotBox, pretty much everything about it ... I want a complete understanding of how it works ... I'm already familiar with the abstract concepts, but I want to know the details of Ubuntu's implementation
[18:00] <__theIdiotBox> klenz87, okey....
[18:00] <sarthorks> _theidiotbox thanks i'll try that
[18:00] <sarthorks> arvind_khadri thanks

[18:03] <wahjava> the Packages file is mentioned in Releases file but is not present on any of the mirror, wtf.
[18:03] <sarthorks> _theIdiotBox , can you explain what you meant by all this in more detail : extract the vmlinuz and initrd and put them in proper place and finally put an entry in grub for that. ?
[18:04] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, wait a min....will give u full details on that

[18:06] <arvind_khadri> parapanghelescu, tried asking in #pidgin ?
[18:07] <sarthorks> _theIdiotBox, yes sure
[18:07] <Mestora> I have two networks, <IP_ADDRESS>/24 (eth0) and <IP_ADDRESS>/24 (eth1) connected to my ubuntu box. How do I get all traffic from eth0 destined to <IP_ADDRESS>/24 and vice versa to forward to the appropriate network?
[18:07] <xendon> parapanghelescu have you done portsettings ?
[18:08] <David-T> Mestora: see /etc/sysctl.conf:  Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
[18:08] <NFischer> Hi all.. i try to set a custom sound-file for login.. its a wav file, its selectable in SoundPreferences, but it does not play.. y is that?
[18:10] <xendon> parapanghelescu join #pidgin on irc.freenode.net
[18:10] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, you can get some ideas out here: http://imthi.com/blog/linux/install-fedora-core-5-linux-without-burning-cd.php
[18:10] <parapanghelescu> xendon > right
[18:10] <sarthorks> _theIdiotBox thanks :)
[18:11] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, u're welcome...
[18:11] <klenz87> __theIdiotBox: mabye i can share the drive using a different protocal like nfs?? i just have no idea how to do that
[18:11] <Mestora> David-T: Do I have to restart anything to make that effective?
[18:12] <FoolsRun> Hi, any quick ideas on why a parallel printer might not be working in Hardy? Printer is on, connected, the gnome printer tool lets me add a printer on "LPT #1" but I cannot print (nothing ever prints).
[18:12] <sarthorks> _theIdiotBox, i'm on ubunut hardy heron. not on windows!
[18:13] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, have a look here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/general-10/install-linux-from-iso-image-on-hard-disk-without-using-a-dvd-rom-or-cd-drive-741322/
[18:13] <FoolsRun> I have checked my BIOS, the port is enabled and is set to EPP. lsmod | grep para returns nothing. Modprobe paraport says module not found
[18:13] <arvind_khadri> !usb > sarthorks
[18:14] <sarthorks> _theIdiotBox ah thanks
[18:14] <sarthorks> arvind_khadri  thanks
[18:14] <sarthorks> ubotto thanks
[18:15] <FoolsRun> anyone?
[18:15] <VCoolio> FoolsRun: you could check working drivers for your printer here http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
[18:15] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, and this one as well : http://tinyurl.com/kpgvc3
[18:15] <FoolsRun> VCoolio: I did that; it's a LaserJet 2.
[18:15] <vikb> vpnc asks me for 2 passwords ..what the diff?
[18:18] <MTeck> !info vpnc
[18:19] <Mestora> I've enabled forwarding in sysctl.conf, and run sysctl -p, but it still won't forward my packets
[18:21] <MTeck> vikb: I'd assume that's just the way cisco works..
[18:21] <Halabund> trism: I finally managed to get that wireless thing working, using this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731177 and this http://gostewarts.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/getting-dell-inspiron-1521-wireless-to-work-under-ubuntu-9-04/  The problem was that ssb still got loaded in spite of blacklisting
[18:21] <vikb> MTeck: The first one is authenticated ....Am not sure what the second one is?
[18:22] <David-T> Mestora: any firewall set up?
[18:22] <Mestora> David-T: Yes, but I disabled it to test out the forwarding
[18:22] <Mestora> I set to accept all
[18:22] <David-T> hmm
[18:22] <vikb> MTeck: and me working for Cisco isn't helping me getting any info on the same
[18:23] <Mestora> David-T: I'm using ufw for my firewall, and I normally have it setup for masquerading.
[18:23] <MTeck> vikb: I've no idea - sorry
[18:23] <MTeck> vikb: I assume you looked through the man pages?
[18:24] <David-T> Mestora: try sysctl -a | grep forwarding
[18:25] <David-T> Mestora: you should see net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1
[18:25] <Deele> Hello erUSUL
[18:26] <Mestora> David-T: Yup, net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1
[18:28] <David-T> Mestora: I assume "route -n" shows 192.168.x.0 <IP_ADDRESS> being routed to the appropriate interfaces?
[18:28] <David-T> and that tcpdump -i eth0 shows the incoming packets?
[18:28] <hacim1> can some tell me how to connect to a wireless print server or point me to some relevent info.
[18:30] <Deele> I have a problem with Mozilla's Firefox, not opening as default browser, when clicking links, but it is set as default browser...
[18:30] <eMyller> guys, how much space a clean ubuntu server installation takes?
[18:30] <LamaZ> Hi all. I'm having issues with ext4 in Ubuntu 9.04. It keeps hanging when I copy large files. I heard there is a fix released but I dont know how to install it. Could anyone help me out please?
[18:31] <groza> dele
[18:31] <jakob_> hi
[18:31] <Deele> groza
[18:31] <groza> deele:in what browser it opens?
[18:31] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: install the ppa for the later kernel
[18:31] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: that  will hopefuly help
[18:31] <Deele> groza, in Ubuntus Firefox
[18:31] <LamaZ> sebsebseb: How would I do that exactly?
[18:31] <groza> deele:then what is the problem
[18:32] <Deele> groza, you know difference between Ubuntu Firefox and Mozilla Firefox?
[18:32] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: google for  2.6.30  ppa or some such, it will be on luanchpad,   also  check out the  Ext4 stuff in the 9.04 release notes
[18:32] <sebsebseb> !notes |  LamaZ
[18:32] <groza> enter ubuntu firefox and search for default browser option and uncheck it
[18:32] <claude> salut
[18:33] <LamaZ> :sebsebseb: I checked out the releases notes but didnt find a fix. I'l google that kernel patch, thanks.
[18:33] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: it's, because of things like that, why  some people think  it's not stable enough  in  9.04,   that and  the kernel it has,   however  it will be nice and stable and default  for Ubuntu 9.10
[18:33] <maco> claude: fr?
[18:33] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: it's not a patch, it's a later kernel
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: ext4 is fine here in karmic :D
[18:33] <Deele> groza, one is created specially for Ubuntu as paralell project, another is shipped from Mozilla, default is already set\
[18:33] <maco> !fr | claude
[18:33] <LamaZ> sebsebseb: Oh ok, shouldnt be to hard to install then if its in a repository.
[18:33] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: it has been for me, but  not for LamaZ when it comes to deleting large files,  by the way I haven't deleted any really large files  with  Ext4 on 9.04
[18:33] <trism> Halabund: glad you got it working, guess you had to blacklist them both
[18:33] <Mestora> David-T: I used tracert from the machine on eth0 and it says that it comes to my ubuntu box, but no farther.
[18:33] <Berzerker> How can I hide thunderbird to the notification area?
[18:33] <groza> deele:u didnt understood!
[18:34] <groza> deele:u want default browser mozzila firefox!
[18:34] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: know of any other   possible fix for his issue?  other  than installing the later kernel's ppa?
[18:34] <David-T> Mestora: does tracrt from your ubuntu box reach the right place?
[18:34] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: it's not in a repo, well it is kind of, but you got to add it
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: me neither, my system partition i ext4, my home is ext3
[18:35] <Mestora> David-T: yup
[18:35] <Deele> groza, you mean unset Ubuntu Firefox as default?
[18:35] <groza> deele : YES
[18:35] <David-T> Mestora: hmm, i'm pretty much out of ideas, sounds like it should be working...
[18:35] <Mestora> My ubuntu box can talk to both eth0 and eth1 networks fine, it's just they won't talk to each other.
[18:35] <Deele> groza, already done
[18:35] <LamaZ> sebsebseb: I found this; http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/06/10/linux-kernel-2-6-30-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/
[18:35] <deany> Berzerker, new mail icon
[18:35] <Mestora> David-T: Thanks anyways, I'll keep working on it.
[18:35] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: well   the ppa you get is on luanchpad
[18:35] <sebsebseb> or should be
[18:35] <Berzerker> deany, new mail icon? what is that
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Mestora: you need to use bridge-utils
[18:35] <groza> Deele:did u tried to restart the browsers?
[18:36] <Deele> groza, yes :P
[18:36] <groza> Deele:delete one browser
[18:36] <deany> Berzerker, sorry, wrong one... there was one I used, cant remember its name
[18:36] <Deele> groza, huh, how? wont it drop out error?
[18:36] <Halabund> trism: That's not enough because b44 is the driver for the wired card, so I can't just blacklist that.  But if the modules are unloaded and reloaded in a different order, like in that blog post, then it works.  I am very glad I managed to get it working too.
[18:36] <David-T> Mestora: actually, one last thought - try sudo iptables -L FORWARD
[18:36] <David-T> Mestora: make sure the default policy is ACCEPT
[18:36] <groza> remove ubuntu firefox and install mozzila firefox
[18:37] <groza> deele:it shouldnt
[18:37] <Mestora> David-T: I did that. I also flushed it so it was default accept and no rules.
[18:37] <Berzerker> deany, it's not alltray, is it?
[18:37] <Deele> groza, maybe there is place, where I can choose what application to open http links?
[18:38] <sebsebseb> LamaZ: that looks ok, kernel.ubuntu.com yeah
[18:38] <Mestora> ActionParsnip: I'm actually looking for routing from <IP_ADDRESS>/24 (eth0) to <IP_ADDRESS>/24 (eth1), not a full bridge.
[18:38] <David-T> Mestora: then i'm definitely stumped... you could try adding logging entries to the iptables input/forward/output tables to see where the packets are going...
[18:38] <groza> deele:if ubuntu firefox and mozzila firefx are 2 separate browsers then removing one should fix the problem
[18:38] <Mestora> David-T: I think I'll try that.
[18:38] <Mestora> brb
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Mestora: then use: sudo route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0; sudo route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth1
[18:40] <deany> Berzerker, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2831
[18:40] <Mestora> ActionParnsip: Both routing entries are already setup. I can access both from the ubuntu box.
[18:40] <deany> Berzerker, scrub that, wrong one.. thought it was the one
[18:40] <deany> looked similar options

[18:51] <gabriel__> Hi everyone
[18:51] <kvasirme>  well. i've an intel 3945abg wireless card, i cant connect with it... i can see it in lspcie but i can't activate it.. neither in windows.. i dont know ho to make it work again, my toshiba bluetooth is gone too.. led is active but i don't see it... now i've notebook working with ubuntu 8.04 live... this is the only version that has always worked for me fastly.. but now.. i've NO WIFI NO BT.. can anyone help me to activate wifi again? fn+f2 don't work.
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> kvasirme: lspci will not make anything work, it only shows the hardware attatched to the pci bus
[18:52] <__theIdiotBox> groza, are u sure you have all the parameters set properly in the config  and thats not causing the problem of speed?
[18:52] <__theIdiotBox> !hi | gabriel__
[18:52] <mcphail> kvasirme: sounds like a hardware failure, unless you have pressed an "off" switch or deactivated in BIOS
[18:52] <kvasirme> ActionParsnip
[18:52] <kvasirme> i only say
[18:52] <gabriel__> I have a little problem: I have to reinstall windows xp because of a virus and I have a partition for Ubuntu 9.04 bits, another partition for windows xp and an empty NTFS partition, I want to know how to get grub bootloader back after windows XP install
[18:52] <kvasirme> that i see wifi in lspci
[18:52] <kvasirme> and in windows
[18:53] <Slart> !grub | gabriel__
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> kvasirme: that doesnt mean it will work, the hardware is only identifying itself
[18:53] <kvasirme> mcphail i've not pressed any switch
[18:53] <CodeRed> Does anyone know anything about transferring files into samba?  I'm getting an error of symlinks are not supported
[18:53] <Slart> gabriel__: that link "Lost grub after installing windows" should explain it all
[18:53] <gabriel__> I want an easy way to restore grub after I install windows xp
[18:53] <bigDaddy> Can someone help? Can't get TTY 1-6; goes to blank/black screen
[18:53] <kvasirme> i was only working
[18:53] <groza> __theIdiotBox: i didnt changed the settings.i am using the same setting just like the last month when i was downloading with 500kbs
[18:53] <kvasirme> and it has lost connection
[18:53] <kvasirme> in windows
[18:53] <Slart> !enter
[18:53] <gabriel__> Once I tried it and it didnt work, is there another way?
[18:53] <kvasirme> i see
[18:53] <__theIdiotBox> groza, ohh
[18:53] <kvasirme> the card
[18:53] <mneptok> !enter > kvasirme
[18:53] <kvasirme> but i can't see any wifi
[18:53] <syn4pse> is there a way to change the location of the messages in the black rectangles that come from the network manager and pidgin (when pidgin is out of focus)?  formerly, these messages were in the upper right corner but now they are at mid height at the right side of the screen
[18:54] <Slart> kvasirme: let the enter key rest for a while.. write the whole sentence.. everything you want to say.. then press enter
[18:54] <mcphail> kvasirme: if it isn't working in multiple operating systems and it used to, you have either switched it off or it is broken
[18:54] <kvasirme> seen
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> kvasirme: does   sudo iwlist scan    show any APs?
[18:54] <kvasirme> sry guys. mcphail in windows
[18:54] <kvasirme> if i try press fn+f2
[18:55] <CodeRed> Does anyone know anything about transferring files into samba?  I'm getting an error of symlinks are not supported
[18:55] <__theIdiotBox> kvasirme, alongwith alt, right?
[18:55] <bigDaddy> Can someone help? Can't get TTY 1-6; goes to blank/black screen in Jaunty
[18:55] <kvasirme> it stay always in OFF i cant put it on. - ActionPasnip. wait i see.
[18:55] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, i guess you're trying to transfer some files linked by softlinks and hence the error
[18:55] <gabriel__> I want to know the easy way to restore grub after a windows xp install, can somebody help me, please?
[18:56] <mcphail> CodeRed: that sounds reasonable - don't think samba can handle such things
[18:56] <aqqd> hi everyone. I have a Gateway lt3103u sub notebook with an AMD Athlon 64 processor. I am not able to change the cpu frequency (downclock) to 800 Mhz. please help
[18:56] <alanpan> how to switch between consoles i tried ctrl+Alt+F1, and it won't work.
[18:56] <Slart> gabriel__: the easy way is in the link from ubottu
[18:56] <CodeRed> im not good in linux.. obviously.. i mean is that going to affect other scripts on the mmc?
[18:56] <Michalxo> bigDaddy, fresh installed jaunty?
[18:56] <__theIdiotBox> gabriel__, pretty easy, use livecd and grub-install tool
[18:56] <aqqd> i am running a fresh copy of Ubuntu 9.04 NBR
[18:56] <bigDaddy> Michalxo: fresh as day old bread
[18:56] <Michalxo> alanpan, alt+(ctrl in gui) + f1 .. F12 ;)
[18:56] <kvasirme> ActionParsnip, in scanning im only view lo and etho.. no wifi is active... :(
[18:57] <gabriel__> exactly how do I grub-install, sorry, but Im not an expert in ubuntu
[18:57] <Slart> alanpan: if you're in a tty already you can use alt+f1, alt+f2 and so on.. from Gnome/X you have to press ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f2 and so on
[18:57] <Michalxo> bigDaddy, well I think there was a bug in it.. try just updating all
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> then you need to websearch for the chip to see what makes it work
[18:57] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, that depends on the context...if you're trying to transfer some files which are mandatory and they have soft links then its quite obvious that they will lead to some issues eventually
[18:57] <Michalxo> bigDaddy, i believe they fixed it in patches very fast
[18:58] <__theIdiotBox> gabriel__, wait a min...
[18:58] <gabriel__> ok
[18:58] <kvasirme> ActionParsnip to activate it, i've to press fn+f2 but this function in ubuntu doesnt work, in windows it stay always in off :( and.. i don't have any other switch or bios function.
[18:58] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: So then how can i get those files over?
[18:58] <alanpan> i tried  ctrl+alt+f1 in Desktop, and it won't switch.
[18:58] <trism> bigDaddy: I had that problem on this laptop, I had to set UseBIOS to false in xorg.conf to fix it, but yours could be a completely different problem
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> kvasirme: then you may need to set it as always on in the bios
[18:59] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, how exactly you are transfering those files, btw?
[18:59] <CodeRed> copy/paste
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> kvasirme: if its a laptop, you can websearch the make and model to maybe find a guide
[18:59] <__theIdiotBox> gabriel__, this one is for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[18:59] <Michalxo> alanpan, did you updated system?
[18:59] <kvasirme> no action, i've changed bios, there arent options about it in bios. i was searching somethings when this problem is arrived...
[18:59] <alanpan> it is 7.04
[18:59] <alanpan> 8.04
[19:00] <Michalxo> so it's up to date, right?
[19:00] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, don't do that do it from command line and make the cp command follow the symlinks so as to take care of those files as well
[19:00] <kvasirme> sry for my bad english, im italian.... i'ven't changed anything before the wifi stops...
[19:00] <bigDaddy> copy that
[19:00] <bigDaddy> those
[19:00] <aqqd> anyone?
[19:00] <erUSUL> !it
[19:00] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: what do you mean by make the cp command follow the symlinks?
[19:00] <mcphail> kvasirme: to be quite clear - is it still working in windows?
[19:00] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, wait a min...i'll give you the command for the same...
[19:00] <kvasirme> there is a mode to restart wifi in ubuntu?
[19:01] <gabriel__> Thanks a lot for the help
[19:01] <__theIdiotBox> kvasirme, restart the network manager
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> kvasirme: check allonline docs for your make / model, There may be a guide
[19:01] <groza> aqqd:what is the problem
[19:01] <Michalxo> aqqd, there has to be some tweaks for it ;)
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> kvasirme: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:01] <bigDaddy> whats the proper syntax for update all?
[19:01] <alanpan> so what is the problem??
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> bigDaddy: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:02] <Michalxo> groza, <aqqd> hi everyone. I have a Gateway lt3103u sub notebook with an AMD Athlon 64 processor. I am not able to change the cpu frequency (downclock) to 800 Mhz. please help
[19:02] <groza> wow
[19:02] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, are you familiar with the cp command ?
[19:02] <aqqd> thx Michalxo
[19:02] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: ehh.. not all that familiar, i mean i know what it does and the general way to use it but past that i dont have a clue
[19:02] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, i guess YES, rigth? then you just have to use the extra flag -L to handle the softlinks
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Michalxo: you'll need cpufreq
[19:03] <Michalxo> ActionParsnip, aqqd problem.. I've just copied it ;)
[19:03] <aqqd> ActionParsnip: do you mean me?
[19:03] <Michalxo> yes
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> !info cpufreq
[19:03] <vG|qum^> gather is running.. pme for a channel.
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> !cpufreq
[19:03] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: so what would be the syntax
[19:03] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, okey fine...then do this: cp -vrL <source directory> <destination director> , v for verbose, r for recursively all folders and L for following softlinks...check using man cp
[19:04] <aqqd> how do i install cpufreq now?
[19:04] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: Perfect thanks, greatly appreciated
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> aqqd: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/   may help
[19:04] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, you're welcome
[19:04] <Michalxo> aqqd, sudo aptitude install cpufreq
[19:04] <groza> aqqd: sudo apt-get install cpufreq
[19:04] <myk_robinson> need some help with NetworkManager and VPN. I am able to successfully connect to my VPN and browse remote network shares. However, whilst connected to the VPN, I am unable to browse the internet on my local machine. I assume it is a setting in the Network Manager somewhere, but could use a hand....
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> aqqd: its installed by default
[19:05] <aqqd> ok
[19:05] <aqqd> but i added a panel on my gnome menu and it shows no options
[19:05] <aqqd> its stuck at stock frequency with no options available
[19:05] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: one last question.. how would i do it if the source was media/disk or whatever and the destination was a folder that was /export in the samba folder?
[19:07] <fluxy> I tried reading the forum posts regarding cups-pdf, I'm still unable to figure out what to do :S
[19:07] <aqqd> cat fails
[19:07] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, din't get you Qs propery..i'm not that much comfortable with samba, btw...but the same command may handle that as well, i guess
[19:07] <aqqd> cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/: No such file or directory
[19:07] <groza> aqqd:your cpu supports freq scaling?
[19:07] <aqqd> as per the link provided
[19:08] <aqqd> groza: yes i am able to underclock using Rightmark to 800 Mhz @ 0.67V in windows .. but i think the gateway bios / processor does not do it automatically
[19:09] <groza> aqqd: why do you want to do that?
[19:09] <aqqd> groza: better battery life?
[19:09] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: well it's not a samba question really, my question is basically that the folder im trying to copy to requires a / before it
[19:10] <groza> aqqd:i thought you use desktop
[19:10] <aqqd> groza: i mentioned it was a gateway sub notebook
[19:10] <Deele> groza, I deleted it, now, it opens cliked links in new window, not a new tab, in already opened...
[19:10] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, then may be you need to add sudo for taking care of permission issues, right?
[19:11] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: Is that a permissions isssue though?  I don't think it is the permissions are 777 .. i just wouldn't know how to write the path to it
[19:11] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, is that ok, or still stuck?
[19:11] <groza> deele :in the right browser?
[19:11] <Deele> groza, yep

[19:12] <groza> deele:search the preferences for something lie open links in a new tab!
[19:12] <aqqd> under the cpu/cpu0 i see no cpufreq folder. why is tht?
[19:12] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: Can it be written as /etc/samba//export?
[19:12] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, 777 for the destination, right? then its not a permission issue? put the full path for the destination
[19:12] <Deele> erUSUL, hello again, I have a question for you too :)
[19:12] <erUSUL> Deele: hi

[19:18] <derek_> Hello folks. What's a good help channel for a command-line beginner?
[19:18] <derek_> I have a simple question. I think it's easy to answer
[19:18] <erUSUL> Deele: you do not have 3d enabled... System>Admin>hardware drivers
[19:19] <Deele> erUSUL, there is no other options, than REMOVE current driver
[19:19] <erUSUL> !ask | derek_
[19:19] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, a suggestion: is that /etc/samba folder mounted under some other folder actually? does this make sense?
[19:19] <erUSUL> Deele: :|
[19:19] <kev_> Hi!
[19:19] <radioman-lt> whats the time? ;}
[19:20] <radioman-lt> anyone? ;D
[19:20] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: I have no idea man
[19:20] <Deele> "If you wish to enable desktop effects, this driver is required.
[19:20] <Deele> If this driver is not enabled, you will not be able to enable desktop effects and will not be able to run software that requires 3D acceleration, such as some games."
[19:20] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, or may be you can just put the same path with double // escaping the 2nd one with a \...
[19:20] <Deele> But it is installed
[19:20] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: Now were talking.. didn't try escaping it
[19:20] <CodeRed> __theIdiotBox: I'm gonna give that a shot.. i think you understand the problem now though im having
[19:20] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, just give it a shot...
[19:20] <Deele> erUSUL, this driver is activated and currently in use

[19:22] <derek_> If I'm instructed to type: "find /lib/modules/'uname -r' | grep snd" (sans quotes), should I type that exactly? Or should I put something else in the 'uname -r' space?
[19:22] <Deele> erUSUL, send it to you?
[19:22] <wildc4rd> evening all
[19:23] <bucky> radioman-lt, 6:23 PM GMT
[19:23] <Deele> erUSUL, there is not only 0 but 1 and 99 files too
[19:23] <__theIdiotBox> derek_, for uname -r use backtick like this: `uname -r`
[19:23] <mcphail> derek_: are you sure it is 'uname -r' rather than `uname -r`?
[19:24] <__theIdiotBox> derek_, using the backtick will do the replacement for you , so you don't need to worry for that
[19:24] <derek_> you're right, it's a backtick (`). Never even noticed.
[19:24] <derek_> thank you
[19:25] <__theIdiotBox> you're welcome
[19:25] <grawity> derek_:, __theIdiotBox: That's why everyone should use $( ) instead of `` :)

[19:25] <erUSUL> Deele: paste it in pastebin
[19:25] <erUSUL> !paste | Deele

[19:27] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, did you try googling the same issue? if not try that,,you might get some help out there
[19:27] <vavar> what vim versions are out there? i seem to have a version which totally fucks up arrow keys and other keys also
[19:27] <erUSUL> Deele: check lines 144-148
[19:28] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, yeh we're half way done.. at least :-)
[19:28] <erUSUL> Deele: something went wrong with the nvidia install
[19:28] <grawity> vavar: You probably have vi, not vim.
[19:28] <grawity> vavar: The original vi did not support arrow keys.
[19:28] <parapan> __theIdiotBox: done this and found out something on the net except that they say if kernel bigger then 2.6 I should use the driver on the kernel ...which is not working :d
[19:28] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, if you can't do that be more specific and let me google it
[19:29] <grawity> vavar: You might try using :set nocompatible, in case that's vim in compat mode.
[19:29] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, oops
[19:29]  * erUSUL vi only has to modes one in which it beeps and one in which it does not
[19:29] <erUSUL> two*
[19:29] <Deele> erUSUL: so, what I should do now?
[19:30] <vavar> grawity: well, itś the version that came with ubuntu.. so it should be vim rightht.. the version tells: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1
[19:30] <__theIdiotBox> vavar, i better suggest you install vim....
[19:30] <Deele> erUSUL: reinstall driver?
[19:30] <parapan> theidiotBox: http://www.pharscape.org/hso.html
[19:30] <erUSUL> Deele: reinstall the driver? or find out what may have messed ther install... kernel update recently?
[19:30] <vavar> __theIdiotBox: it is vim already isnt it?
[19:30] <q0s> hey guys. is it a problem to use ext4 under jaunty?
[19:30] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, okey wait a  min
[19:30] <grawity> vavar: It might be in compatibility mode - did you try the command I gave?
[19:30] <__theIdiotBox> vavar, yeh the version details says that
[19:30] <grawity> vavar: Or, just install vim-full and be done with it.
[19:31] <vavar> grawity: i will try it
[19:31] <q0s> hey guys. is it a problem to use ext4 under jaunty?
[19:31] <Deele> erUSUL: that "stupid" nvidia driver did something with kernel update, cause it could not connect to its ftp address, so it used something that he had, compiled for my system specially and tried to use that (when I tried setting up 185 version), that did not worked (started low graphics mode and error)
[19:32] <erUSUL> q0s: shouldn't be
[19:32] <Deele> erUSUL: so I reset back to back up, and set up back 180 driver
[19:32] <mcphail> vavar: remember the version of vim that ships with ubuntu is crippled (although the arrow keys _should_ work). Install vim-full or vim-gnome
[19:32] <erUSUL> Deele: so you installed it with the package from nvidia.com ?
[19:32] <q0s> erUSUL, heard of stability problems. thats the reason why i first comes with karmic as default.
[19:32] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, whats the kernel version you're having? it says the driver is working fine for 2.6.27
[19:32] <Deele> erUSUL: yes, tried to use their instructions... eaven turned off graphics engine :P
[19:33] <erUSUL> q0s: is somewhat new. if you do not want risks use ext3
[19:33] <Deele> erUSUL: from alt f1
[19:33] <trism> varar: or just get used to hjkl
[19:33] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, btw, as a last resort you have to compile it from source..did you try that ?
[19:33] <parapan> __theIdiotBox: 2.6.28-15
[19:33] <Dunge> Anyone can tell me where does libtool search for libs? I though it was /etc/ld.so.conf but everythign seems right there.. it search libstdc++.la in a path of my crosstool tests that shouldn't exist anymore
[19:33] <erUSUL> Deele: ok; so now you have installed both versions ? the one from repos and the one from nvidia.com ?
[19:33] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, in that case may be we need to compile it from source right?
[19:33] <q0s> erUSUL, would it help to install the newest karmic kernel?
[19:33] <parapan> __theIdiotBox: wasn't sure if I'm not going to screw something else :d so I didn't
[19:34] <racecar56> if i generated a debian package (somehow) would it work reliably in debian also?
[19:34] <vavar> grawity: thank you. i asked that question on #vim once and noone had an answer..
[19:34] <erUSUL> q0s: i dunno really
[19:34] <Michalxo> racecar56, imo yes, bu I am not an expert
[19:35] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, we're going to compile just that module only, do you have other dependencies on that which might break if there are some issues during compilation?
[19:35] <racecar56> Michalxo: k
[19:35] <Deele> erUSUL: I dont know unix, I am windows guy :D I dont know how are drivers managed in ubuntu... Maybe it is still in there... I dont know... In hardware drivers manager, it only shows version 173 and 180 (with recommended tag)
[19:36] <Deele> erUSUL: and that 180 is with green circle and activated
[19:36] <parapan> __theIdiotBox > well ...you tell me :d should I try this or not ? could it be more damaging for the network manager for example ????
[19:36] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, the links you gave me talks about compiling from src in depth...so i think you can easily follow that, right?
[19:36] <parapan> __theIdiotBox : yeap I can follow ....
[19:37] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, its segregated...no impact on others..try it out...it shud work...but make sure you follow the steps religiously
[19:37] <parapan> __theIdiotBox : only that I wanted to check that first ....and not to jump on the process
[19:37] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, coool...go for it...
[19:39] <perlsyntax> How do i change this to just usr  -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root     95 2009-01-16 12:46 wing-personal
[19:39] <RPG_Master> How do I check my internal IP?
[19:39] <Deele> RPG_Master: use ifconfig
[19:39] <__theIdiotBox> perlsyntax, you are not clear? do you want to change the permission? or the owner?
[19:40] <__theIdiotBox> RPG_Master, use ifconfig utility
[19:40] <Deele> __theIdiotBox: I am newbie, sorry for answering :)
[19:40] <perlsyntax> i want to change the persmission to just usr that it so it wil not mess up my ubuntu.
[19:40] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[19:40] <perlsyntax> hi
[19:41] <RPG_Master> so it's the inet addr
[19:41] <RPG_Master> ?
[19:41] <bucky> perlsyntax, sudo chmod 751 <file_name>
[19:41] <__theIdiotBox> Deele, i think your answer is same....no probs ...
[19:41] <perlsyntax> thanks
[19:41] <purvesh> any 1 know abt drupal.........?  ,purvesh
[19:41] <EvaLuaTe> in opera, on some pages the fonts are too big. I tried changing the default font for opera and the size but it doesn't really help (the fonts still remain too big). Also changing the dpi value don't seem to do anything to that...
[19:42] <mneptok> EvaLuaTe: you might have better luck asking on OperaNet
[19:42] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, still stuck? ....i hope not....gotta go...c ya
[19:42] <Deele> RPG_Master: try seraching in returned answer a line with eth0 (if you are using cable) or wlan0 (if you are using wireless) and inet addr, but that will help only if you are connected directly to internet (not with router)
[19:43] <bucky> purvesh, does apt-cache show drupal6  say you have it in the repos?
[19:43] <EvaLuaTe> mneptok: well, i also used another linux distro before, with the same opera version, and the fonts looked perfect there. that's why i thought i'd ask in here first...
[19:43] <Deele> erUSUL: are you still here?
[19:43] <perlsyntax> thanks
[19:43] <__theIdiotBox> quit
[19:43] <__theIdiotBox> ooops
[19:43] <mneptok> EvaLuaTe: you're always welcome to ask here
[19:44] <purvesh> bucky,  i stuck at /localhost/drupal6.13/
[19:44] <DaZ-> EvaLuaTe: microsoft fonts maybe? :f
[19:44] <purvesh> bucky, at drupal installation ...
[19:44] <Deele> !register
[19:44] <bucky> purvesh, did you install the deb from the repos?
[19:44] <EvaLuaTe> DaZ-: don't know, i just have the default ubuntu installation and installed opera 10 from their website. any idea if/what i did wrong?
[19:45] <purvesh> bucky, no from its site.. i downloaded the tar.gz pack
[19:45] <Yopu> some app on my ubuntu machine is creating a whole bunch of .gifs in my home folder. with the names "0].gif" "1].gif] "2].gif" etc, anyone know whats causing it?
[19:45] <DaZ-> EvaLuaTe: check font packages in the repository
[19:45] <bucky> purvesh, hmm.. don't know purvesh
[19:45] <purvesh> bucky, k thanx 4 reply
[19:46] <bucky> purvesh, try /join #drupal
[19:46] <EvaLuaTe> DaZ-: could you please name what exactly i should look for? i'd prefer to search for them with apt-cache cause synaptic doesn't seem to work right for me either
[19:46] <purvesh> bucky, i tried but der is no channel der may be
[19:47] <erUSUL> Deele: sorry; been away a few minutes
[19:47] <bucky> purvesh, there are 448 users in  #drupal
[19:47] <Bookman> Does the MagicJack service work with Ubuntu?

[19:47] <ilya> Can I copy ~/.mozilla/firefox/kmxur05t.default/Cache to a home folder of a new ubuntu system and use cahsed pages, providing that "kmxur05t.default" wil be changed to the prooper directory name?
[19:47] <erUSUL> Deele: i checked. but did you removed the drivers installed with the nvidia.com pkg ?
[19:48] <DaZ-> EvaLuaTe: msttcorefonts :F
[19:48] <Deele> erUSUL: I should? Ok, how it's done?
[19:48] <EvaLuaTe> DaZ-: ok, i'll try to install that. thanks for now :)
[19:49] <erUSUL> Deele: i think you have to pass the --remove option to the package
[19:49] <dotblank> wow skype just added pulseaudio support
[19:49] <Kuifje111> hello all. what is the difference between "!" and "*" in the /etc/shadow file in the place where the hash normally is?
[19:49] <Deele> erUSUL: =-O

[19:50] <Michalxo> yes? :)
[19:50] <H4rl4n> hi there

[19:51] <Berzerker-> !it | H4rl4n
[19:51] <aarkerio> no, spanish only ;-)
[19:51] <groza> how do i unistal ie4linux?
[19:51] <EvaLuaTe> DaZ-: omg, that seems to have solved the problem. thank you so very much <3
[19:51] <Kuifje111> genii: what do you notice about that in reality?
[19:51] <erUSUL> Deele: sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run --remove
[19:51] <Deele> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/261080/
[19:52] <genii> Kuifje111: That if you try to su to an explicitly disabled account you get booted back out
[19:52] <Lunis> according to http://is.gd/2EiXE a fix for a problem I'm having is "echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend". will this work in a chrooted enviroment with sys properly mounted after chroot`ing?
[19:52] <erUSUL> Deele: is --uninstall
[19:52] <grawity> Lunis: chroot only affects the root directory. It doesn't affect device access or anything else. So I think it should work.
[19:53] <Kuifje111> genii: all right, thanks. that is what I wanted to know! Is it possible that an user somehow gets disabled? I think that happened with one of my accounts
[19:54] <Deele> erUSUL: it shows that annoying message again: "WARNING: Your driver installation has been altered since it was initially installed; this may happen, for example, if you have since installed the NVIDIA driver through a mechanism other than nvidia-installer (such as your distribution's native package management system).  nvidia-installer will attempt to uninstall as best it can.  Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. OK"
[19:54] <erUSUL> Deele: skip it
[19:56] <Deele> erUSUL: it made something like "graphics engine restart"?
[19:56] <Deele> erUSUL: and now, I lost all my opened windows :D
[19:56] <Lunis> another question: is it possible to boot into a system from a virtualbox? i.e. set up a virtualbox for ubuntu, then point it to my usb hard drive where ubuntu's already installed?
[19:56] <erUSUL> Deele: now i would reinstall the driver offered in System>Admin>hard. drivers
[19:57] <perlsyntax> is there away to change back to root for permisson?
[19:57] <Deele> erUSUL: that includes "Remove" and "Activate"?
[19:57] <Deele> Lunis: Tu Latvietis? :)
[19:58] <Lunis> Deele, huh?
[19:58] <erUSUL> Deele: then i would remove it and then activate it again. to be safe
[19:58] <Deele> erUSUL: use one some other package --remove function?
[19:58] <Deele> on*
[19:58] <erUSUL> Deele: no the options offered by the gui
[19:58] <Deele> Lunis: never mind :) Your nickname just looks like you would be from my country :P
[19:59] <Deele> erUSUL: so, just "Remove"'button?
[19:59] <erUSUL> Deele: yes then activate it again
[19:59] <Deele> erUSUL: I hope, no "mini restart" again
[19:59] <trism> Lunis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664692 seems to go over what you want
[19:59] <erUSUL> Deele: could be
[20:00] <erUSUL> Deele: i have to go for a while
[20:00] <erUSUL> Deele: good luck
[20:00] <Deele> erUSUL: :(
[20:00] <Deele> erUSUL: thanks... sadly, I wanted some more support, but I think, its ok :P Bye!
[20:01] <Deele> this pidgin thingy will notice me of you anyway :D
[20:01] <grampajoe> Does Ubuntu 9.04 have good touchscreen/tablet support?
[20:02] <shelby> I am having a problem with disc space
[20:02] <Deele> erUSUL: ok, it asks for restart...
[20:02] <Al2> could somebody help me to make my samsung mp3 player compatible with ubuntu? At least able to put music in it... please
[20:02] <genii> Kuifje111: Apologies on lag. I'm currently at work. It's conceivable but unlikely a regular user account got disabled. If your current user has sudo rights you can set a password for the disabled user with something like: sudo passwd disabled-username-here
[20:03] <Kuifje111> genii: ok, thanks.
[20:03] <bucky> grampajoe, for net book?
[20:04] <grampajoe> bucky: It's a full-size tablet pc
[20:04] <Al2> is there help to make my mp3 player compatible?
[20:05] <bucky> grampajoe, which one?
[20:06] <apisd> Hello everybody, building a new machine. What would be a good choice Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad. $$ not an issue..need an efficient/fast Ubuntu Desktop

[20:06] <Kuifje111> Password:
[20:06] <Kuifje111> su: Authentication failure
[20:06] <Deele> erUSUL: yeah, it works now 8-) +1 for you
[20:07] <Kuifje111> genii: I am facing something peculiar. I am logged in as "root" and su into an user like this: "su test", then I execute "/etc/init.d/daemon start", and it asks me for a password! "Password: <NEXT LINE> su: Authentication failure"
[20:07] <Erix> hi
[20:07] <bucky> grampajoe, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks
[20:07] <mneptok> Kuifje111: because that user does not have rights to start init processes
[20:07] <mneptok> Kuifje111: and why on earth did you set a root password?! ;)
[20:07] <SealedWithAKiss> I have installed a new graphics card - under Ubunutu everything appears to be fine. Under Windows however, the display doesn't seem as sharp as it was when I had integrated graphics. The fonts just aren't as crisp, and appear a little rough around the edges. Any reason why?
[20:08] <detonation> Well, I've had a small breakthrough on my acpi issue. How exactly does linux affect bios settings? What program can set bios settings?
[20:08] <grampajoe> bucky: It's an HP Pavillion TX2500
[20:08] <mneptok> SealedWithAKiss: bad Windows driver?
[20:08] <Kuifje111> mneptok: ah, all right! but when I enter my root password, it says wrong password. why does it ask for a password?
[20:08] <llutz> SealedWithAKiss: join #windows
[20:08] <grawity> Kuifje111: 'su test' asks for the password of user 'test'.
[20:08] <mneptok> Kuifje111: why not just use sudo like you are supposed to?
[20:09] <apisd> Kuifje111: first create a root passwd > sudo passwd root
[20:09] <SealedWithAKiss> llutz, okie doke.
[20:09] <Kuifje111> grawity: it is not like that. I su into a user with root, everything fine. then I execute that command and it begins to ask for a password..
[20:09] <mneptok> Kuifje111: ignore apisd. do NOT set a root password.
[20:09] <mneptok> Kuifje111: just use sudo.
[20:09] <Kuifje111> I have already set a root password!!
[20:09] <Kuifje111> I never use sudo.
[20:09] <apisd> Kuifje111: ok
[20:09] <grawity> mneptok: Why not set a root pass? It isn't as if it automatically removes sudo or anything.
[20:10] <mneptok> grawity: it's a security risk
[20:10] <SealedWithAKiss> Woahhh! My keys are mixed up man! When I press hash it does a backslash, never had this happen before. When I press backslash a < comes up. Any idea why?
[20:10] <Kuifje111> I know it is, but its not related to my problem here
[20:10] <treble54> anyone in here use DockBarX ? I'm trying to combine tasks and launchers, similar to how the windows 7 taskbar works and I can't figure out how to do it
[20:10] <grawity> mneptok: Umm. Explain?
[20:10] <Kuifje111> could be used for ssh brute force, if the root user is enabled.
[20:11] <mneptok> grawity: there is one account i know exists on every Unix box everywhere. and it's an account that gives me god-like powers. so guess which account i'll taget a brute force attack at?
