[00:00] <aj_444> how do I add a printer to ubuntu?
[00:00] <ctmjr> Waseem: try apt-cache search linux-image-generic_2.6.27-4.6_i386 see if it's there (which i doubt)
[00:00] <gigglefight> doesn't boot
[00:00] <RJARRRPCGP> I'm trying to change from ALSA to OSS 4.
[00:00] <unr3a1> well, I am out.  have a good night
[00:00] <aj_444> night
[00:00] <gigglefight> bye
[00:00] <Casandrax> RJARRRPCGP: You seem incoherent enough. .
[00:00] <erUSUL> unr3a1: night
[00:00] <RJARRRPCGP> I heard good things about OSS4, but a F-up, so far.
[00:00] <m_law> whats the best media centre for ubuntu?
[00:00] <erUSUL> !best
[00:01] <gigglefight> well, back to my install horror story: my monitor that's actually a lcd tv set on vga mode doesn't find the 'signal'
[00:01]  * RJARRRPCGP peed, going to be forced to reformat and reinstall!
[00:01] <assumedalive> RJARRRPCGP: yep you're in the wrong channel, if there's an ossv4 channel ask in there, if not, post in the ossv4 post in the forums. you wont get help for it here because its pretty non-standard
[00:01] <ctmjr> RJARRRPCGP: so go to oss4's website and read the linux how to
[00:01] <Casandrax> m_law: The one you like the brest.
[00:01] <gigglefight> it says something like 'signal not found'
[00:01] <gigglefight> it's on vga mode.
[00:01] <RJARRRPCGP> Wait, I went by this HowTo:
[00:01] <m_law> Casandrax: what are the options?
[00:01] <RJARRRPCGP> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound
[00:01] <younder> erUSUL: that works. thanks!
[00:02] <erUSUL> younder: no problem
[00:02] <RJARRRPCGP> And it's F-ed up.
[00:02]  * RJARRRPCGP about
[00:02] <Casandrax> m_law: got synaptic ? ... then search for media...
[00:02]  * RJARRRPCGP about to reformat and reinstall
[00:02] <cornet> RJARRRPCGP: :( what was up with ALSA that made you change ?
[00:02] <Waseem> how can i get my 8.04 to 8.10?
[00:02] <Waseem> easily
[00:02] <assumedalive> RJARRRPCGP: its your own goddamn fault for choosing a non-standard sound system, go and get help from the people who actually know about oss4 rather than spamming in here
[00:02] <RJARRRPCGP> I heard that OSS 4 is better.
[00:02] <m_law> Casandrax: will do
[00:03] <RJARRRPCGP> I'm NOT a spammer!
[00:03] <erUSUL> Waseem: System>administration>update manager
[00:03] <losher> m_law: best? Who knows? I run mythtv on 8.04 LTS. It was difficult to set up. If I hadn't done it 3 or 4 times before, I dunno how long it wouldn't taken...
[00:03] <biovore> RJARRRPCGP: it depends on your hardware..
[00:03] <RJARRRPCGP> !op
[00:03] <erUSUL> Waseem: should offer you the upgradwe
[00:03] <Casandrax> alright m_law
[00:03] <mrwoody> is it normal that many kde application behave very weird
[00:03] <mrwoody> ?
[00:03] <ctmjr> Waseem: sudo update-manager -d in terminal
[00:03] <Waseem> erUSUL, ok but i already applied all of the updates available to me.
[00:03] <Flannel> RJARRRPCGP: How can we help you?
[00:03] <rww> Waseem: the instructions are on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades
[00:03] <archman> my screen is going black after one minute!!! what's the problem?!?
[00:03] <cornet> RJARRRPCGP: well my first step would be to roll back all the changes and see if you can get sound working with ALSA again
[00:03] <losher> Casandrax: "The one you like the brest.". Freudian typo?
[00:03] <RJARRRPCGP> OK.
[00:03] <aj_444> I hate to ask the same question twice, and this'll be the last time I do it. How do I add a printer to ubuntu?
[00:04] <cornet> RJARRRPCGP: at least then you'v eliminated a hardware problem
[00:04] <rww> Waseem: since 8.04 is LTS, Update Manager won't prompt you without following the instructions at that URL, and update-manager -d is for development releases.
[00:04] <biovore> !printers
[00:04] <bifrost_via_rain> I can't get vlc to terminate with kill.
[00:04] <VCoolio> m_law: try xbmc or moovida (formerly elisa); I like first one better than elisa, but haven't tried moovida
[00:04] <Casandrax> losher: Oh, sorry for that. Although... pretty neat :)
[00:04] <m_law> losher: I have tried elisa and its not the best. mythTv looks quite triky to set up. do u use mythbuntu or mythTV
[00:04] <RJARRRPCGP> That's why I gave the output of lspci
[00:04] <cornet> RJARRRPCGP: to be honest i've had zero issues with ALSA, only problems have been with pulse audio and that is pretty much fine these days
[00:04] <losher> aj_444: I bet google knows...
[00:04] <Waseem> rww, yeah i was just using the webpage, thanks for it, its pretty thorough.
[00:04] <erUSUL> Waseem: if not. Check in system>Preferences>software sources || third tab (upgrades) Dsitribotion upgrades choose offer normal releases
[00:04] <Jackiz> !swe
[00:04] <Jackiz> !ubntu-se
[00:05] <ctmjr> rww: thanks and your right sorry Waseem

[00:05] <brandon> Are any of you running the remix?
[00:05] <Jackiz> oh
[00:05] <bifrost_via_rain> There's something really wrong with vlc.  It won't start, wont die.
[00:05] <bifrost_via_rain> I have to reboot to terminate it.
[00:05] <rww> ctmjr: common mistake, don't sweat it :)
[00:05] <m_law> VCoolio: couldn't get moovidia to see my nework HD (but elisa could?!) how stable is boxee isn't is still Alpha?
[00:05] <Casandrax> !us
[00:05] <aj_444> losher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne google provided me with that.

[00:05] <Casandrax> !en
[00:05] <aj_444> losher: but it doesn't make sense.

[00:06] <losher> m_law: I added mythtv to an existing 8.04 desktop, and as I say, it was *not* straightforward. If you are going to dedicate the machine to mythtv, you might try mythbuntu. Personally, the best install experience I had was knoppmyth, which 'just worked'. That was some time ago, though...
[00:06] <erUSUL> Casandrax: country ISO codes
[00:06] <bifrost_via_rain> has ANYONE had similar problems?

[00:07] <Waseem> man its so heartbreaking to have a perfect linux only to upgrade and mess up life as you knew it :(
[00:07] <cornet> RJARRRPCGP: i've got an intel HD Audio controller in my laptop and it works fine with ALSA
[00:07] <RJARRRPCGP> But, I never done this before.
[00:07] <biovore> RJARRRPCGP: that sound device is sorta lame.  If you have a program tring to do OSS with it..  your only going to get one PCM stream at a time..  (No hardware mixing) ..  To get multipule sound streams your application needs to use alsa dmix or pulse.
[00:07] <RJARRRPCGP> Makes me want Karmic Koala more ;)
[00:07] <assumedalive> RJARRRPCGP: alsa works perfect for most stuff man, you dont need to go messing around with oss
[00:07] <Casandrax> erUSUL: seems to work just fine otherwise though, but ok.
[00:07] <VCoolio> m_law: don't know about boxee, but xbmc was nice, didn't use it much; somehow mediacenters don't add anything to file manager for me
[00:07] <losher> Casandrax: actually, I like to browse http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=
[00:07] <heroin> Hey im sharing a bunch of folder. However i want to disable a bunch. But i cant find them in any config files. Not /etc/samba/smb.conf or in shares-admin. Where are they!?

[00:08] <RJARRRPCGP> Jaunty Jackalope was already an Ubuntu that seemed well planned out.
[00:08] <RJARRRPCGP> I liked the fast booting ;)
[00:08] <mehedi> for internet connection i need to install gnome ppp in ubuntu 9.04. but internet connection is needed to install gnome ppp. what can i do??
[00:08] <m_law> VCoolio: Im looking at running a media PC at some point just playing around with them at the moment before investing in new hardware
[00:08] <RJARRRPCGP> Wonder what Karmic Koala is like?
[00:09] <cornet> mehedi: doh! is it not on the install cd ?
[00:09] <losher> RJARRRPCGP: this isn't a chat room.  However i want to disable a bunch. But i cant find them in any config files. Not /etc/samba/smb.conf or in shares-admin. Where are they!?

[00:10] <Manifest> When I try to hibernate, or sleep, my laptop, it pretty much just turns off. It doesn't restore. How can I fix this?
[00:11] <m_law> VCoolio: no problem thanx for your help

[00:12] <heroin> VincentBelmont: ... honestly? you want to host irc daemons and u have no idea how.. dont start w. it its a hassle as a service
[00:12] <losher> hutchisw: postfix is a pain. If you're just trying to get mail off a server to mail hub, use ssmtp instead...
[00:13] <Manifest> When I try to hibernate, or sleep, my laptop, it pretty much just turns off. It doesn't restore. How can I fix this?
[00:13] <VincentBelmont> Not even so much as irc services more so domain/webhosting

[00:18] <pyro2927> it's asking me for a password
[00:18] <erUSUL> archman: nothing in dmesg ? or in the logs ?
[00:18] <reaper> thanks :)
[00:18] <Bluey> i am trying to help gman with an nvidia problem - we installed the drivers, rebooted, but it says there are no propriety drivers - what should be our next step?

[00:20] <erUSUL> !intel | archman

[00:23] <erUSUL> archman: maybe is a kernel bug... there were kernel upgrades recently... can you test with an older kernel ?
[00:24] <erUSUL> archman: current version is <IP_ADDRESS> try with .14 or so. if the problem goes away you have something to blame
[00:24] <G-man> Geforce 9800gt
[00:24] <G-man> what driver do i need for that
[00:24] <archman> erUSUL, i kept the .14, i will test now!

[00:28] <archman> erUSUL: ok testing now
[00:28] <mehedi> i am already using 8.10
[00:28] <erUSUL> archman: good luck
[00:29] <micah> how do you play the game it only lets me be a spectator and says no quarter on the front page
[00:29] <Cyb3rSniFF> since distupgrade font in gdm and xserver are broken
[00:29] <Cyb3rSniFF> hints anyone?

[00:30] <ctmjr_> G-man how did you install the 180 driver?
[00:31] <G-man> thru terminal
[00:31] <SudoKing> i found what was segfaulting firefox =] http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2253
[00:31] <micah> pici do you know how to play it instead of just being a spectator?
[00:31] <archman> erUSUL i did an update today
[00:31] <erUSUL> micah: actually join a team ?
[00:31] <Pici> micah: I don't know, I haven't played that in a long time.
[00:31] <archman> erUSUL, libpam got updated, anything suspicious?
[00:32] <micah> erUSUL I did join but it will only let me be a spectator
[00:32] <erUSUL> archman: really dunno...
[00:32] <archman> f**k
[00:32] <Pici> G-man: If you install the drivers manually with the package from the repositories  then you don't need to go into the hardware drivers tool
[00:32] <erUSUL> micah: teams are full ? tried various servers ?
[00:32] <Pici> archman: Please mind your language
[00:32] <archman> Pici, i'd like to...
[00:33] <micah> erUSUL I did but every time I connect to a server it only says spectator and I fly around and it also says "no quarter" at the main menu what is that?
[00:33] <archman> erUSUL, what can change anything that has to do with this "power management" or whatever?...
[00:34] <jennistin> I have a SSH issue if anyone would like to help. My client drops the connection before exchanging keys.
[00:34] <ubuntu_> where am i
[00:34] <erUSUL> micah: dunno been ages since i plyed that game...
[00:34] <fccf> !ubuntu | ubuntu_
[00:34] <losher> jennistin: what client and server os?
[00:34] <micah> okay
[00:34] <jennistin> losher: Server is Ubuntu distro with OpenSSH from main repos
[00:35] <jennistin> losher: Client is Putty on WInXP
[00:35] <jennistin> losher: On client, I've also tried with FileZilla for SFTP and Aptana SFTP
[00:37] <losher> jennistin: dunno if putty has any debugging facilities, but openssh does. On the server, kill sshd and run it manually as sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -d then try and connect.  If you can't make sense of it, pastebin it & we can look at it...
[00:37] <dORSY> hi. how do i get my networkmanager back to see my interfaces (eth0 and pppoe)
[00:37] <redes_> Pici, sorry i had a problem.. :S
[00:37] <jennistin> losher: I don't think the issue is with the server, even though I have not debugged sshd yet. When I watch the packets, the client stops responding, and the server continues to retransmit.'
[00:38] <jennistin> losher: Putty only has an event log, nothing detailed.
[00:38] <G-man> wow man
[00:38] <G-man> this is driving me nuts
[00:38] <Guest38601> i tryed to install WampServer2.0i.exe and it wont let me
[00:39] <ctmjr_> G-man: ok try this sudo nvidia-xconfig see what it says
[00:39] <jennistin> losher: Netstat shows the connection as established, and WinXP drops it before the server does. Then the server sends a FIN packet
[00:39] <pvvni> Anyone know if watch can display color as well?
[00:39] <redes_> Pici,  yeah i have it over there, but when i wanna run it ... It says that cannot access config file...
[00:39] <pvvni> Or if there's a patch that allows it
[00:39] <fccf> Guest38601: that's a windows apache mysql php ... you want !lamp

[00:39] <knasto> HELP, I accidentally did something while messing with volume control and now I when I press the volume buttons on my laptop, it will no longer control the master volume. How do I fix this?
[00:39] <redes_> usr/local/etc/aide.conf:No such file ... And yeah i cannot see it inside of it :s
[00:39] <Guest38601> so thats for windows only? awwwww
[00:40] <losher> jennistin: I don't see much in google offhand. This has got to be a common combination. Check the putty options e.g. ssh protocol version etc...
[00:40] <dORSY> hi. how do i get my networkmanager back to see my interfaces (eth0 and pppoe)
[00:41] <jennistin> losher: Yeah, I think I've exhausted Google as well. Putty works fine from other WinXP systems with this server. The client with difficulty is behind my employer's firewall
[00:41] <floryn90> hi evryone
[00:41] <jennistin> losher: The client and server handshake fine and agree on SSH2
[00:42] <archman> erUSUL: tested it in gnome now, it happens there too!
[00:42] <knasto> HELP, how do I fix my volume control?
[00:42] <floryn90> what is the code to eliminate a folder on the terminal
[00:42] <Guest38601> ok how do i install sound?
[00:42] <smogattack> I installed the windows 7 beta and then I restored grub. Now I can boot into Ubuntu, but can't see or boot into windows 7.
[00:42] <xikteny> floryn90: rm -dR /folder
[00:42] <jennistin> floryn90: What do you mean, eliminate?
[00:43] <ctmjr_> !sound > Guest38601
[00:43] <losher> jennistin: obviously something different about this particular putty client then. Firewall shouldn't be an issue, as they obviously make initial contact. It's pretty hard to escape the conclusion that something in this particular client's settings is wrong...
[00:43] <andyzammy> hello everybody, i'm trying to copy a dvd to HD, but instead of the ~7Gb it "completes" with a 39Mb .iso. what's going wrong with the copy?
[00:44] <archman> this ubuntu is just shit...
[00:44] <xikteny> !language | archman
[00:44] <jennistin> losher: The settings are defaults, which work fine from other WinXP clients
[00:44] <losher> archman: Here. Have your money back...
[00:44] <archman> losher, i know i know
[00:44] <knasto> HELP, how to I switch the function of my volume control buttons on my keyboard. I did something in volume control. How do I undo that to set it back to normal?
[00:44] <losher> jennistin: same version of client?
[00:45] <grumete> oh great, now we have foundametalism in linux distros
[00:45] <emma> archman, well ubuntu is for people who are new to linux, and also for people who very experienced with linux. You might be some kind of arch linux user though. lol.
[00:45] <jennistin> losher: Yes
[00:45] <archman> emma, i wouldn't
[00:45] <losher> grumete: you found metal in your distro?
[00:45] <pvvni> archman: arch ftw!
[00:45] <floryn90> hi
[00:45] <pvvni> emma: arch = awesome.
[00:45] <grumete> yes, it's called gold, I think it worths something losher.
[00:45] <jennistin> losher: This client also works for other servers, just not this particular one
[00:45] <floryn90> whow can i control my psp on linux?
[00:45] <smogattack> I installed the windows 7 beta and then I restored grub. Now I can boot into Ubuntu, but can't see or boot into windows 7.
[00:46] <xikteny> knasto: System>Preferences>Sound>Default Mixer Tracks
[00:46] <archman> floryn90, it works for me, by default
[00:46] <archman> which is a miracle
[00:46] <andyzammy> hello everybody, i'm trying to copy a dvd to HD, but instead of the ~7Gb it "completes" with a 39Mb .iso. what's going wrong with the copy?
[00:46] <pvvni> smogattack: what's your /boot/grub/menu.list say
[00:46] <floryn90> for me no
[00:46] <archman> floryn90, it's a normal thing :D
[00:46] <smogattack> pvvni, it doesn't list anything windows 7
[00:47] <pvvni> smogattack: add an entry for it then
[00:47] <jennistin> andyzammy: Do you have dvdlib installed?
[00:47] <smogattack> pvvni, it's just ubuntu and the 'old' windows xp
[00:47] <knasto> xikteny, thank you so much. Ive been spending hours trying to fix this on volume control messing with the diffrent 30 sliders.
[00:47] <smogattack> pvvni, how can I do that?
[00:47] <pvvni> smogattack: Just modify the 'old' windows xp one to point to the windows 7 partition
[00:47] <losher> jennistin: so to recap: the client works with other servers, the server works with other clients. Just not with each other, but they do swap packets initially?
[00:47] <xikteny> knasto: NP, did that work for you?
[00:48] <pvvni> smogattack: pastie what it has right now
[00:48] <floryn90> archman, your psp version?
[00:48] <smogattack> pvvni, okay, hang on
[00:48] <andyzammy> Jennistin: if that's the one that lets you play dvds, then yes i do. have watched several dvds from disk and from iso. what's weired is that one dvd copied fine, and i struggled with two others
[00:48] <knasto> xikteny, yes it works perfectly (i was looking at the volume control applet on my panel instead of sound)
[00:49] <jennistin> losher: Correct, they establish a connection and then the client stops responding and Putty times out
[00:49] <thomc> is fsck the program to use to diagnose a hard drive corruption?
[00:49] <smogattack> pvvni, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268269/
[00:49] <jennistin> andyzammy: What are you using to grab the ISO's?
[00:49] <Lunatic> Im using ubuntu minimal to be as light as possible and I was wondering if there was a messenger like pidgin only lighter?
[00:49] <smogattack> pvvni, I don't know what those generic entries are either
[00:50] <andyzammy> the gnome "right click copy disk to iso" thingy :P
[00:50] <jennistin> Lunatic: It depends on what chat services you want to use, but Gnome's gossip and PSI are good
[00:50] <Lunatic> I'm just going to be using it for the most common ones, MSN, Yahoo, AIM.
[00:51] <pvvni> smogattack: the win7 install is on the same drive the xp one was on right
[00:51] <jennistin> Lunatic: I think Gossip supports all of those, but it may be in beta
[00:51] <smogattack> pvvni, yeah, same drive as XP
[00:51] <Lunatic> whats PSI?
[00:51] <jennistin> Lunatic: Its a jabber app. like Pidgin, Google PSI Jabber
[00:52] <pvvni> smogattack: k, what probably happened, is when you installed win7 it created a new partition (windows 7 adds a partition similar to linux's swap)
[00:52] <pvvni> smogattack: that partition took over the sda1 mount where xp used to be
[00:52] <Lunatic> is there one not tied to GTK+ and QT?
[00:52] <losher> jennistin: Anything you've not told me? What kind of authentication is it? Where in the exchange does the client stop responding? I think you're going to have to run debug on the server to get any further...
[00:52] <jennistin> Lunatic: PSI not GTK or QT
[00:52] <xikteny> !info psi
[00:53] <pvvni> smogattack: try chaning the (hd0,0) to (hd0,1)
[00:53] <th0ger> Hello! My ubuntu test print is ok, but when printing from any application the colors look strange(or missing). It's a canon i550, I'm using the closest driver available, i560. So what can i do?
[00:53] <smogattack> pvvni, I was just going to ask that. lol
[00:53] <Lunatic> oh, your right, I was looking at the wrong thing. awesome
[00:53] <smogattack> pvvni, should i double check with partition editor?
[00:53] <pvvni> smogattack: sure, open a terminal and type parted
[00:53] <pvvni> er
[00:53] <pvvni> sudo parted
[00:54] <jennistin> losher: It is password authentication. I can send you the packet log if you want to see where it stops responding. I think I'm going to have to run debug too since I have no other options.
[00:54] <pvvni> smogattack: use /dev/sda
[00:54] <pvvni> smogattack: p
[00:54] <losher> jennistin: I'd be willing to look at a packet log if want to pastebin it. No promises though...
[00:54] <jennistin> Lunatic: apparently PSI does use QT... nevermind, I use it on Windows
[00:55] <pvvni> smogattack: quit
[00:55] <Lunatic> ah, dang it!
[00:55] <jennistin> losher: k, I'll grab it
[00:55] <pvvni> smogattack:  (those commands, in that order. Copy/paste/pastie the results)
[00:56] <andyzammy> l
[00:56] <smogattack> pvvni, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268277/
[00:56] <jrib> Lunatic: how about bitlbee or finch?
[00:56] <PauLoAndre[ja_vo> oi
[00:56] <Lunatic> will they run yahoo/aim/msn?
[00:56] <PauLoAndre[ja_vo> hi
[00:57] <smogattack> pvvni, it's the  1049kB  21.5GB  21.5GB  primary   ntfs           which is number 2,1. lol
[00:57] <andyzammy> on top of my dvd copy problem i have another. yesterday morning i managed to copy over a couple of folders to my psp (via usb cable), but yesterday evening, i couldn't do it - ubuntu threw an error saying that the psp was mounted as a read-only filesystem
[00:57] <andyzammy> how can i fix this?
[00:58] <Lunatic> hmm, bitlbee seems interesting
[00:58] <jennistin> losher: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d61913234
[00:58] <jrib> Lunatic: they should... check and see
[00:58] <jrib> Lunatic: yeah, it's pretty neat if you are always on irc anyway
[01:00] <Lunatic> I'll try them both anyhow, many thanks!
[01:00] <smogattack> pvvni, so I should change (hd0,1) to /dev/sda1?
[01:01] <pvvni> smogattack: hrmmm
[01:01] <pvvni> smogattack: no dont mess with the /dev/sda1
[01:01] <pvvni> smogattack: that line is commented out
[01:01] <pvvni> smogattack: so it doesnt do anything
[01:02] <pvvni> smogattack: did you upgrade to 7 from xp?
[01:02] <jennistin> andyzammy: I have no idea for the USB jumping to read-only, but what are you using to grab the ISO's?
[01:02] <smogattack> pvvni, maybe I should just try changing (hd0,0) to hd0,1 like you said
[01:02] <smogattack> pvvni, clean install
[01:02] <skapism_> can I do a wireless install with mini.iso?
[01:02] <pvvni> smogattack: weird, it usually creates an extra partition
[01:03] <andyzammy> jennistin: i just right-click the dvd and select copy disk
[01:03] <skapism_> is there any way to load the wireless drivers during installation?
[01:03] <smogattack> pvvni, yeah, I'm stumped looking at the grub
[01:03] <pvvni> smogattack: yea try that, though I now doubt that it will work.
[01:03] <rww> andyzammy: for the DVD copy problem, are you just copying them to the hard disk, or do you eventually want to burn the back to DVD?
[01:03] <losher> jennistin: Oh, I was expecting a lower level trace with SYN/ACK etc. if I read this trace right, the client sends a SYN (presumably) to the server, the server responds with an ACK, and that's the last thing that happens. I'm not even sure the client sees the ACK. Can the server even talk to the client through the firewall?
[01:03] <terry> join #php-es
[01:03] <godmodegrafix> just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty
[01:03] <godmodegrafix> what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash?
[01:04] <andyzammy> rww: i just want to copy to HD. i have no special dvds to copy iso's > 4.7 Gb
[01:04] <jennistin> andyzammy: Have you tried dvd::rip?
[01:04] <Waseem> awesome. Finally got around to fixing my problem, turns out i had 8.10 when ubuntu was working right.
[01:04] <Waseem> so thanks to all those that helped.
[01:05] <losher> andyzammy: newer commercial dvds have all sorts of ridiculous copy prevention hacks. The only sure-fire method of copying is to use windows AnyDVD which doesn't run on wine...
[01:05] <rww> andyzammy: I'd strongly recommend the dvdbackup package/program, then. In combination with libdvdcss (I can link you instructions for getting that if you don't have them) it works perfect for me :)
[01:05] <jennistin> losher: Sorry I only sent you the tail of it. The server does send the server version which the client receives
[01:05] <skapism_> man, linux is so d*mn awesome!
[01:05] <deadleaf> hey is there a way to change system's default encoding?
[01:05] <andyzammy> jennistin: no i haven't. tbh i just wanted to do this using current method. is there no workaround? i guess if not i'll try some other proggies but i thought that since it came "out of the box" it would just work
[01:05] <Waseem> skapism_, I agree. when it works its the best.
[01:06] <losher> jennistin: any chance of a more complete trace?
[01:06] <skapism_> Waseem: for me it has hardly ever not worked
[01:06] <godmodegrafix> just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty
[01:06] <godmodegrafix> what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash?
[01:06] <andyzammy> ah, i see
[01:06] <jennistin> losher: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d48676980 here's the whole thing
[01:06] <Waseem> skapism_, cant say the same, I have rarely had it without a problem but still once I iron out the kinks.
[01:06] <Waseem> its too good.
[01:06] <meoblast001> hello, someone told me i would be ok if i deleted my vhosts... as far as i know i don't use them (never configured them), but now i get a vhost warning when starting apache... everything still works, but warnings scare me.. should i be concerned?
[01:06] <GuidMorrow> quick question, how do I clear my DNS caches in ubuntu
[01:06] <Nick_Meister_Lap> hi guys i am having an xnest issue, when i try to run it over ssh i get this >  Fatal server error:
[01:06] <Nick_Meister_Lap> Unable to open display "".
[01:06] <jennistin> losher: 192 is the server, 162 is the client
[01:06] <rww> meoblast001: what's the text of the warning?
[01:06] <skapism_> Waseem: I think for the most users it's ok oftb
[01:07] <skapism_> ootb+
[01:07] <Waseem> skapism_, really depends on the hardware.
[01:07] <andyzammy> ok, thanks for the help everyone. would someone be able to help me with my usb readonly filesystem problem?
[01:07] <googeek> Anybody know the command line to start gdm configure?
[01:07] <skapism_> Waseem: true
[01:08] <rww> andyzammy: what's the filesystem on it? ntfs, fat32, ext3...?
[01:08] <meoblast001> rww: one second
[01:08] <godmodegrafix> just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty
[01:08] <godmodegrafix> what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash?
[01:09] <meoblast001> rww: http://codepad.org/8yIfJJL2
[01:09] <Waseem> ok before i mess up anything, how can I set up my 8.10 ubuntu so that it updates stuff but no major updates to the kernal/OS
[01:09] <Waseem> ?
[01:09] <andyzammy> rww: i believe its fat32. its my psp connecting through usb cable. a google showed this problem has happenned before, but i couldn't find a solution
[01:10] <rww> meoblast001: do you have a NameVirtualHost line somewhere in your apache configuration?
[01:11] <andyzammy> it's quite strange, looking in /media, "disk" is still there (and shows size and free space), though i have unplugged psp. now replugging it creates a disk-1
[01:11] <meoblast001> rww: [ "NameVirtualHost" not found ]
[01:11] <Loafers> What sans font does Ubuntu use?
[01:12] <rww> meoblast001: in all of the various files in /etc/apache2/ ? (not just the ones in sites-enabled
[01:12] <rww> Loafers: DejaVu Sans. It's an offshoot of Bitstream Vera Sans.
[01:12] <meoblast001> yes
[01:12] <meoblast001> i have it in ports.conf
[01:12] <meoblast001> can i remove it?
[01:13] <rww> meoblast001: throw a # in front of it to comment it out, and see if that helps.
[01:13] <Loafers> rww, thanks!
[01:13] <meoblast001> all works, thanks
[01:14] <losher> jennistin: ok, I see the 3-way tcp handshake (lines 1-3), then the server should send an proto id string (line 4) then the client should send a proto id string (line 5) then the server should send a key exchange init (line 6) at which point the client goes dumb when it should reply to the server's key exchange init. I can't tell from this trace if the problem is at the tcp layer or above. A tcp problem seems unlikely... What's in the
[01:14] <losher> client logs?
[01:15] <SilAmeth> Ok who is the uber ubuntu geek on here?
[01:15] <rww> andyzammy: hmm, strange. What's the relevant line in mount?
[01:15] <rww> meoblast001: glad I could help
[01:15] <meoblast001> :)
[01:15] <UBuntuNewbie> hi there
[01:15] <UBuntuNewbie> I need help anyone here?
[01:15] <meoblast001> the people i talked to in #httpd don't seem to like the Debian Apache setup
[01:15] <SilAmeth> hello
[01:15] <andyzammy> which one do you want, the phantom "disk" or the one that really shows the psp when it's plugged in?
[01:16] <Tim__> Is it possible to return Ubuntu to a previous configuration?
[01:16] <meoblast001> UBuntuNewbie: largest channel on Freenode i think
[01:16] <UBuntuNewbie> I'm having trouble trying to install my video driver
[01:16] <Tim__> Somehow it has become corrupted and I'd just like to return it to a time when it was working
[01:16] <jennistin> losher: Unfortunately I can't get Putty to give me a detailed log and I don't have privilege to record the packets on the client.
[01:16] <andyzammy> rww: which one do you want, the phantom "disk" or the one that really shows the psp when it's plugged in?
[01:16] <meoblast001> UBuntuNewbie: ATI, Intel, or NVIDIous?
[01:16] <godmodegrafix> just updated to 9.04, i had this issue with 6.10 also... everytime i complete all the security updates, ubuntu crashes and when i reboot.. it starts up in tty
[01:16] <godmodegrafix> what can i do to install all the security updates and not crash?
[01:16] <jennistin> losher: By the way, thank you for your help
[01:16] <SilAmeth> anyone on here know about ppp?
[01:16] <losher> jennistin: sorry I haven't been able to solve it...
[01:16] <UBuntuNewbie> meob: ATI
[01:17] <meoblast001> UBuntuNewbie: which rXXX is it?
[01:17] <rww> andyzammy: may as well give me both :)
[01:17] <meoblast001> UBuntuNewbie: if you don't know, just give me the model
[01:17] <rww> UBuntuNewbie: what version of Ubuntu are you using (9.04/Jaunty, 8.10/Intrepid, etc.)?
[01:17] <UBuntuNewbie> meob : ATI 9000 mobile
[01:17] <Pici> godmodegrafix: What version of Ubuntu were you running before 9.04?
[01:17] <maximenko_> i have a big problem i cant login on lost and found :(
[01:17] <SilAmeth> anyone on here know about ppp?
[01:17] <UBuntuNewbie> meob: ATI Radeon 9000 mobile
[01:17] <andyzammy> rww: they're both the same actually. mount -v gives: /dev/sdd1 on /media/disk-1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
[01:18] <Pici> !anyone | SilAmeth
[01:18] <UBuntuNewbie> meob : is it ok if I talk to you in private?  I am having toruble following all the other chat
[01:18] <godmodegrafix> Pici: it's irrelevant because i wiped out my whole harddrive before installing it
[01:18] <UBuntuNewbie> with all the other chat going on*
[01:18] <losher> Tim__: sorry, that's what a backup is for. If you didn't make one, it's really hard to go back...
[01:18] <meoblast001> UBuntuNewbie: is that a newer or older card?
[01:18] <SilAmeth> Does anyone on her know about ppp?
[01:18] <maximenko_> hm
[01:19] <meoblast001> UBuntuNewbie: and sure
[01:19] <Pici> godmodegrafix: Oh. Well you said you updated to 9.04.  Does Ubuntu crash while you are installing updates or is it on the next reboot that you boot to a tty?
[01:19] <godmodegrafix> oh no sorry, i installed from live CD
[01:19] <godmodegrafix> it crashes while installing
[01:19] <maximenko_> losh how can i login into lost and found?
[01:20] <rww> andyzammy: odd, that looks fine. Is it an internal drive, or a swappable SD card or something?
[01:20] <rww> maximenko_: lost and found generally isn't a user =/
[01:20] <godmodegrafix> Pici: and then when i reboot my laptop, i try boot the linux kernel and it leaves my in tty
[01:20] <maximenko_> rww :(
[01:20] <maximenko_> i cant do nothing?
[01:21] <losher> maximenko_: what exactly are trying to do?
[01:21] <mib_mib> Hi all - I am a newb - i enabled and created a 'key' so that only I can ssh to my server, however, now I want to disable that - how do I disable it so that I can simply type ssh <my IP> <port>
[01:21] <maximenko_> losh too get the files
[01:21] <maximenko_> on that thing
[01:21] <rww> maximenko_: if you're seeing a "lost+found" folder on your home partition, that's a directory created on all ext partitions to store broken files. It's not a user you can log into...
[01:21] <losher> maximenko_: are you saying you lost some files?
[01:21] <maximenko_> yep
[01:22] <GuidMorrow> how do you flush the dns cache on ubuntu
[01:22] <rww> maximenko_: is there another language you're more comfortable speaking? There are country-specific rooms that might be able to help better...
[01:22] <maximenko_> norwegian
[01:22] <rww> !no | maximenko_
[01:22] <losher> maximenko_: what happened, exactly?
[01:22] <Pici> godmodegrafix: Have you noticed that it crashed during a particular package? or is it random?
[01:23] <rww> maximenko_: by all means continue getting help in here, but that room might be able to help too :)
[01:23] <bigdavejoker> I can't get Leo XML editor to run  I keep getting qtGui.py: can not import Qt    I can find how to fix this
[01:23] <GuidMorrow> what does that lost+found folder do?
[01:24] <godmodegrafix> Pici: never took notice, I only let it happen once.... cause from my previous experiences i had from 6.10.. i knew that the only way to fix this issue was to repartition my HD and remove linux altogether...then install again from live cd..
[01:24] <SilAmeth> I am trying to log into the internet through dialup, it dials and when it is authenticating it says looks like a welcome message/ can't run /usr/sbin/pppd, any ideas?
[01:24] <godmodegrafix> and i dont want to try it again, cause its a hassle installing and uninstalling ubuntu
[01:24] <godmodegrafix> well it's not.. but i dont wanna :(
[01:25] <rww> GuidMorrow: if messed up files are recovered during a disk check and the disk recovery can't figure out where to put them, they're put there. It's typically empty.
[01:25] <losher> GuidMorrow: when checking the disk, if the checker finds files that don't seem to belong anywhere, it puts them into lost+found so you have a chance of putting them back in the right place. When that happens, the filename is typically lost, even if the contents are still there...
[01:25] <Swian> looking for a solution for work. They want a small install of linux (I suggested puppylinux) that is configured to open remote desktop on boot and nothing else, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[01:25] <biglinux> alguem br?
[01:26] <rww> !br | biglinux
[01:26] <losher> Swian: I just read a comparison of tiny linuxes here: http://www.abzone.be/Review001_p001. It's a bit old but still ok...
[01:26] <Pici> godmodegrafix: Well, 6.10 was nearly 6 releases ago, we may have a completely different issue here.  Is your graphics card by chance made by intel?
[01:26] <biglinux> I need help
[01:27] <biglinux> for check error in Hd FAT and NTFS in the Debian Linux
[01:27] <buttons840> does anyone know of a UML editor that I can simply draw the diagrams myself?  Something similar to DIA but that allows a print preview?
[01:27] <andyzammy1> rww: oops, pidgin froze up on me, sry
[01:27] <GuidMorrow> losher : problem is, nobody can't even get in that folder!
[01:27] <godmodegrafix> Pici: im not sure, how would i find out?
[01:27] <losher> biglinux: for FAT & NTFS you need to boot windows to check them properly
[01:28] <Swian> thanks but the question wasn't about the distro but more about configuring it to do what I said
[01:28] <losher> GuidMorrow: you have to be root to look in there. Use sudo ls /lost+found
[01:28] <rww> andyzammy1: no problem. The last thing I asked was whether it's an internal drive or an external SD card or something like that?
[01:28] <Pici> godmodegrafix: open a terminal and type: lspci and look for something that looks like a graphics adapter
[01:29] <godmodegrafix> ah yes
[01:29] <godmodegrafix> everything is intel
[01:29] <biglinux> when I'm on Windows, it asks to format the HD, and Linux open normally
[01:29] <andyzammy1> rww: right. basically the psp's acting as a card reader. it takes memory stick duo cards. should i try reformatting the carrd?
[01:29] <GuidMorrow> losher: that only works through terminal, but not through nautilus
[01:29] <Pici> godmodegrafix: Some people today were discussing intel graphics issues with the latest updates, I'm not sure which package it was though.
[01:29] <biglinux> and no have space in the HD for make backup
[01:30] <GuidMorrow> losher : how do I display the folder contents
[01:30] <rww> andyzammy1: you may have done this already, but some memory sticks have a "lock" switch on the back. Is it set appropriately?
[01:30] <godmodegrafix> Pici: actually nvm, my graphics card is RADEON
[01:30] <losher> GuidMorrow: if your system is so screwed up that files are showing up in /lost+found, you probably can't fix it from nautilus, sorry...
[01:31] <rww> GuidMorrow: hit Alt-F2, run "gksudo nautilus", and use that to browse it.
[01:31] <andyzammy1> rww: i did have a look, but there doesn't appear to be a physical lock.
[01:31] <SilAmeth> Does anyone on her know about ppp?
[01:32] <SilAmeth> or rather pppd on jaunty
[01:32] <GuidMorrow> ANYONE HOME?!
[01:32] <losher> Swian: when you say 'remote desktop' do you mean just ssh into a shell, or a full (gnome?) desktop viewed remotely?
[01:32] <rww> GuidMorrow: I just replied to you a minute ago.
[01:32]  * GuidMorrow echo HOME ... HOME ... HOME ...
[01:32] <GuidMorrow> yep, that folder's empty
[01:32] <dewman> sheesh some people are impatient.
[01:32] <buttons840> how come every time i try to figure out how to do something through the terminal i have to sift through about 5 pages of people demonstrating how to do it using gui? :(
[01:33] <Pici> godmodegrafix: hmm... I've really not seen a package install crash Ubuntu in.. well never.
[01:33] <bigdavejoker> hehe  good question
[01:33] <Swian> when I say remote desktop I mean the remote desktop application that can be used to connect to windows terminal servers
[01:33] <rww> GuidMorrow: good, that means the disk checker isn't finding broken lost files when it runs.
[01:33] <Swian> that's the ONLY app they want available
[01:33] <GuidMorrow> rww: define broken?
[01:33] <godmodegrafix> Pici: this is strange... :\
[01:34] <JoshuaP0x> I downloaded the new NVIDIA driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run. how do i install it?
[01:34] <Pici> godmodegrafix: You could try updating from the terminal if you have a network connection there.. otherwise just try again from the gui and maybe it was just coincidence.
[01:34] <cbassett> can anyone help me with drivers for broadcom
[01:34] <losher> buttons840: some people are incapable/unwilling to do anything that doesn't have a GUI. I also notice nowadays that youtube has videos of things which take 20 minutes to watch, which could be written in half a page of text...
[01:35] <wes_> F*CK ALL YOU CAWK SCKERS

[01:35] <Swian> how intelligent
[01:35] <UBuntuNewbie> Hi I'm wondering has anyone here ever had the "messed up graphics" screen of death after installing updates, and then restarting unbuntu?  It shows up right after the Ubuntu splash screen
[01:35] <eminor> omg
[01:35] <godmodegrafix> Pici: thanks, I'll figure it out eventually... i dont want to run the risk of having to reinstall ubuntu right now though..
[01:35] <andyzammy1> rww: i did have a look, but there doesn't appear to be a physical lock.
[01:36] <GuidMorrow> yet another windows user
[01:36] <rww> andyzammy1: hmm. I'm looking around online and can't find anything about whether there is one or not. Strange, that's usually the problem when that error comes up with those things.
[01:36] <cbassett> I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack can anyone help
[01:36] <m3wt> a
[01:36] <GuidMorrow> rww: what makes a file break?
[01:36] <Qvintvs> can you search for installed packages using apt-cache?
[01:37] <biovore> dpkg -l | grep <name>
[01:37] <rww> GuidMorrow: disk corruption caused by hardware failure, power outages, or other fun stuff like that
[01:37] <bucky> UBuntuNewbie, you mean the one with the black screen with lots of text that says something about Xorg.0.log ?
[01:37] <GuidMorrow> ouch
[01:37] <losher> Swian: client remote desktop application only?
[01:37] <Swian> yes
[01:37] <Swian> losher: yes
[01:37] <UBuntuNewbie> bucky : no
[01:37] <andyzammy1> rww: i was going to try mount the psp in a windows VM but it appears i can't use anything usb (don't know why, all my usb devices are grayed out) lol, yet another problem
[01:37] <Qvintvs> biovore: i know about using dpkg to do it, i mean is there a way to do it with apt-cache
[01:37] <ctmjr> JoshuaP0x: ctrl+alt+f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then run the installer sudo sh ./name of driver.run then reboot
[01:38] <rww> andyzammy1: if you're using Virtuabox from the Ubuntu repositories, that's because the open source version of VirtualBox (the one Ubuntu ships) doesn't have direct USB support. You'd need to use the one from their website.
[01:38] <cbassett>  I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack can anyone help
[01:38] <cbassett> help please
[01:39] <UBuntuNewbie> bucky: I mean if you install all the "important' update when you have a fresh copy of 9.04 installed, you restart the pc, and you get that blank screen
[01:39] <GuidMorrow> !help > cbassett
[01:39] <SaTaNucT> i love in kalina rios what me did :(
[01:39] <cognitiaclaeves> Anyone know why I'm seeing this in the shell?: ImportError: No module named CommandNotFound
[01:39] <bucky> UBuntuNewbie, i don't think i've ever seen that one
[01:39] <rww> andyzammy1: ugh, pretty much all Sony says is that some of them do have locks, some of them don't, and in the ones that do, it looks different on different ones. So much for standardization.
[01:39] <cognitiaclaeves> heh:  command-not-found is already the newest version
[01:40] <cognitiaclaeves> ... ok.
[01:40] <GuidMorrow> what do you mean "command-not-found"?  What's that?
[01:40] <rww> Qvintvs: not that I can see, no. I generally use "aptitude search ~i" to show all installed packages.
[01:40] <cognitiaclaeves> Evidently what is called when a command isn't found.
[01:40] <damian> how does this work?
[01:40] <trism> GuidMorrow: command-not-found is a python script ubuntu runs when you type a command into bash that doesn't exist
[01:40] <damian> newby here.
[01:40] <cbassett> where can i get broadcom 4322 3rd party drivers for aircrack the ones im using now are propietary drivers and they dont cut it for aircrack
[01:40] <andyzammy1> rww: i'm going to try to reformat the memory stick and see if that helps any. thanks for your help!
[01:41] <trism> GuidMorrow: it just prints out possible packages from the repos
[01:41] <rww> damian: if you have a problem with or question about Ubuntu, just go ahead and... I guess not.
[01:41] <UBuntuNewbie> anyone here have a problem running Chess in 3d-mode?
[01:41] <andyzammy1> ?
[01:41] <losher> Swian: ok, so they all come with x11 and networking. The most obscure part is the rdesktop application. You can build it if it isn't available, but some of the build environments for the small distros are a pain to work with. Also, if your hardware is non-standard, you need to be sure the distro supports what you have. If I were you, I'd pick 3 or 4 and just download them, burn 'em to CD, and try them out...
[01:41] <rww> andyzammy1: alright. let me know how it goes :)
[01:42] <GuidMorrow> cognitiaclaeves : try reinstalling command-not-found?
[01:42] <andyzammy1> rww: will do!
[01:42] <cognitiaclaeves> I did.  Already the latest version.
[01:42] <GuidMorrow> what's the apt-get command for that
[01:43] <Swian> losher: yeah, I like puppy because its debian based, but can you point me to somewhere to read up on configuration?
[01:43] <GuidMorrow> what's the apt-get command for reinstalling a package
[01:43] <Swian> if not I'll google around
[01:43] <cbassett>  I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack where can i find some and how to install?
[01:43] <rww> GuidMorrow: sudo apt-get --reinstall install <packagename>
[01:44] <cognitiaclaeves> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-April/080844.html
[01:45] <dmem> whats up?
[01:45] <mordof> how do i change my default browser? i installed firefox-3.5 but it's still defaulting to 3.0
[01:45] <cyber_666_uk> hey guys is there any reason why pressing F2 when a fiel is highlighted, i cant rename it?
[01:45] <dmem> remove both entirely
[01:45] <GuidMorrow> look around the menus until you see "Shiretoko"
[01:45] <cyber_666_uk> i have t us ethe right click menu
[01:45] <andyzammy1> rww: reformatting the memory stick worked. it must have been some sort of sw glitch on the memory stick side.
[01:45] <dmem> then install firefox latest version
[01:45] <rww> mordof: System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications. under Web Browser, click "Custom" in the dropdown, and change "firefox" to "firefox-3.5"
[01:46] <losher> Swian: nearly all puppy config is done from the GUI if I recall correctly. http://www.puppylinux.com/. But don't rule out crunchbang, and there's also a Ubuntu minimal CD which you can customize. You're actually spoiled for choice when it comes to small distros...
[01:46] <mordof> rww: ty~
[01:46] <rww> andyzammy1: weird. glad to hear you got it figured out, though :)
[01:46] <GuidMorrow> !karmic
[01:46] <linuxguy2009> Anyone else running netbook remix 9.04? Im trying to drag and drop app icons to my favorites and also right clicking and select add to favorites and its not adding them. (I installed the ubuntu-netbook-remix meta package from the repos cause I didnt want to have to reinstall everything again on my Dell Inspiron mini here.
[01:46] <Swian> ok losher, thanks
[01:47] <andyzammy1> rww: yep, very strange. thanks for your time and help :) apreaciate it!
[01:47] <Chascon> hi all
[01:48] <trism> Swian: unless this is a really low resource system, I would just do an ubuntu command line install, and then add what you need. I find puppy a bit of a pain to work with, and they default to running as root all the time.
[01:48] <Waseem_> hi my firefox is really sluggish, in ubuntu.  Say amsn that is in the repos but I want amsn PPA.
[01:49] <merma> Waseem_: hah
[01:49] <merma> Waseem_: describe sluggish?
[01:50] <Waseem_> merma, just really slow when i scroll pages.
[01:50] <Chascon> Does "install amsn" simply install the PPA?
[01:50] <dogwind> join #politics
[01:50] <JoshuaP0x> I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run and it says I have to run 173.14 linux driver
[01:50] <merma> Waseem_: check your cpu and ram usage
[01:50] <dsdeiz> Chascon: it'll install the latest version it finds i think
[01:50] <Waseem_> merma how would i do that?
[01:50] <merma> Waseem_: go to System Monitor in Administration
[01:50] <dsdeiz> Chascon: ikonia told me yesterday about 'apt-cache policy'
[01:51] <JoshuaP0x> which driver do i need on http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html ?
[01:51] <GuidMorrow> there isn't really a fully-published Flash 64 plugin for Jaunty yet, the plugin they put out is in beta, I think
[01:51] <G-man> well, i decided to just go with xubuntu... and now thee monitor resolution is working properly
[01:51] <G-man> i just need to get the dual monitor display to show
[01:51] <sudansh> hi..anyone has knowledge of wubi
[01:51] <Chascon> thanks
[01:51] <rww> Chascon: if the PPA is set up right, the PPA version will be higher than the Ubuntu repo version (perhaps through the use of version modifiers that use ~ and are complicated, but still...) and a normal package update will get it to install
[01:51] <rww> Chascon: and yeah, apt-cache policy packagename is awesome :)
[01:51] <GuidMorrow> If Karmic is released, how do we upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic when the time comes
[01:51] <sudansh> anyone who knows wubi
[01:51] <diego> hola
[01:52] <merma> GuidMorrow: update manager
[01:52] <dissociative> anyone knows how to reset a vista password from ubuntu livecd?
[01:52] <cognitiaclaeves> woa... trash-cli.  Cool.  :)
[01:52] <Waseem_> merma, did it, out of my 2 cpu's 1 seems to be working quite high although what its doing I dont know. fluctuates from 10% to 60%
[01:52] <GuidMorrow> !es | diego
[01:52] <rww> Guest95791: there'll be a link to a Karmic page on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes with instructions
[01:52] <merma> Waseem_: that's ok
[01:52] <Waseem_> other than that memory usage is at a constant 63%
[01:52] <Guest95791> alguien que hable español que me pueda ayudar a instalar uns tarjeta de video ati radeon 9550 en ubuntu.
[01:52] <SilAmeth> Does anyone on here know about pppd
[01:52] <dsdeiz> !karmic
[01:52] <merma> Waseem_: you have to get worried when it stucks at 100%
[01:53] <sudansh> does anyone knows about wubi installer.
[01:53] <nErVe> sudansh: What about Wubi do you want to know
[01:53] <rww> !anyone

[01:53] <sudansh> @nerve i installed ubuntu in windows xp

[01:53] <sudansh> @nerve and i reinstalled windows xp
[01:53] <mh512> has anyone here upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04 directly?
[01:54] <rww> zhanglearn: open a terminal and type "man programnamehere"
[01:54] <mh512> without going thru a double upgrade?
[01:54] <zhanglearn> when i want to man a system call?
[01:54] <sudansh> now i cant c the start up screen which shows me the options to choose windows xp or ubuntu
[01:54] <sudansh> what do i do nw..
[01:54] <matrixblue> anyone know how to repair an ntfs partition from linux. ntfsfix doesn't work and chkdsk isn't an option
[01:54] <rww> mh512: probably, but it's not supported at all. the only current supported upgrade path is 8.04 > 8.10 > 9.04.
[01:54] <Bigshot_> i am using xournal on ubuntu and i am getting some scratches while while writing on it in tablet mode
[01:54] <merma> sudansh: what os does it boot?
[01:54] <sudansh> now it boots windows xp
[01:54] <rww> mh512: When the next LTS comes out (10.04 or 10.10, we don't know yet), you'll be able to upgrade directly to that.
[01:54] <merma> sudansh: you need to reinstall grub
[01:54] <dmem2009> how?
[01:55] <mh512> rww, I understand its not supported. but.. do u know how to do it?
[01:55] <UBuntuNewbie> Hi, anyone here having a problem getting chess to play in 3d mode?
[01:55] <merma> sudansh: get your ubuntu live cd ready

[01:55] <sudansh> yup i have it
[01:55] <mh512> without the double upgrade process?
[01:55] <merma> sudansh: there are a lot of tutorials on the web on how to do it
[01:55] <dmem2009> edit the /etc/grub.conf file
[01:55] <nErVe> sudansh: try this link___https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:55] <merma> dmem2009: no, winxp destroys grub
[01:55] <dmem2009> Got ya.
[01:56] <rww> zhanglearn: if it's a system call with the same name as a program, you might have to do man 2 systemcallnamehere
[01:56] <sudansh> @nerve i tried this link
[01:56] <rww> zhanglearn: "man man" has more info on general use ;)
[01:56] <sudansh> im nw running ubuntu from live cd
[01:56] <dmem2009> which one did you install first?
[01:56] <UBuntuNewbie> Hi, does anyone know why I get the black screen of death when I boot into ubuntu?
[01:56] <sudansh> n when i run the command fdisk -l nothing happens
[01:56] <sudansh> @dmem2009
[01:56] <merma> sudansh: go as root
[01:57] <merma> sudansh: sudo -u i think
[01:57] <IdleOne> sudansh: use sudo
[01:57] <sudansh> i installed windows xp...then installed ubuntu thru wubi..n then reinstalled windows xp..
[01:57] <zhanglearn> thanks , but i have done what you said.
[01:57] <midnightleutenan> I'm having a hell of a time with VLC.  Can anyone help me even connect to their irc?
[01:57] <GuidMorrow> will windows 7 destroy grub afterwards
[01:57] <sudansh> now i cant open ubuntu
[01:57] <midnightleutenan> They've set it up poorly.
[01:57] <rww> sudansh: did you reformat the Windows XP partition while reinstalling it?
[01:57] <GuidMorrow> I would like to keep ubuntu once I install 7
[01:57] <merma> sudansh: yeah you just need to put a few commands now
[01:57] <merma> sudansh: put sudo fdisk -l
[01:57] <dmem2009> on 1 or 2 drives?
[01:57] <GuidMorrow> btw, how do I make a grub disk
[01:57] <sudansh> @merma.. ya its working with sudo command.
[01:57] <IdleOne> !fixgrub
[01:58] <ctmjr> midnightleutenan:  /join #vlc
[01:58] <merma> sudansh: that's to see your partitions
[01:58] <zhanglearn> such as "man 3 printf", but the result show no result
[01:58] <dmem2009> cant install xp on a linux system and still use linux.
[01:58] <UBuntuNewbie> does anyone know how to fix the "black screen of death" when i log into ubuntu?
[01:58] <dmem2009> you erase the MBR
[01:58] <midnightleutenan> ctmjr, They aren't set up on freenode
[01:58] <dmem2009> which is where grub resides
[01:58] <rww> !who | zhanglearn
[01:58] <sudansh> @merma ya i knw this..bt my problem is that i installed ubuntu thru wubi installer..
[01:59] <midnightleutenan> ctmjr, They're at <IP_ADDRESS>, but their site doesn't state a port number
[01:59] <rww> zhanglearn: install the "manpages-dev" package
[01:59] <verv87> how do i install cabal in ubuntu
[01:59] <midnightleutenan> ctmjr, for some reason Xchat seems to try to connect on the loopback channel.
[01:59] <rww> zhanglearn: that has all the manpages for system calls. I forgot it isn't installed by default.
[01:59] <merma> sudansh: how exactly does wubi installs ubuntu? when you install ubuntu through wubi do you select it through grub at startup?
[01:59] <SilAmeth> is there an actual ubuntu support channel?
[02:00] <IdleOne> merma: yes
[02:00] <zhanglearn> ??
[02:00] <sudansh> @merma i dont get the boot screen to choose from the OS which i originally was getting before reinstalling windows xp
[02:00] <IdleOne> SilAmeth: this is the channel
[02:00] <merma> sudansh: yeah
[02:00] <merma> sudansh: do sudo grub
[02:00] <rww> zhanglearn: "sudo apt-get install manpages-dev"
[02:00] <verv87> is there a cabal package in ubuntu? i can only find a dev one
[02:00] <zhanglearn> got it, thanks
[02:00] <SilAmeth> ah.... I see so I guess no one in here knows about pppd?
[02:00] <sudansh>  @merma ya then
[02:00] <IdleOne> sudansh: if you formatted the drive when you re-installed windows. you erased the wubi install
[02:00] <dsdeiz> @where cabal
[02:00] <dsdeiz> lolz
[02:00] <rww> SilAmeth: perhaps if you asked your actual question, rather than repeating "anyone on here know about ppp?" over and over again, you'd get better help.
[02:00] <merma> sudansh: do you know your ubuntu partition number?
[02:01] <Alumin> so, just curious...now that Sun has GPLed Java, how come distros still ship with OpenJDK / IcedTea, etc?
[02:01] <sudansh> @merma no i still hv the wubi installed
[02:01] <merma> sudansh: sda2 or something like that
[02:01] <ctmjr> midnightleutenan: sorry here it is #videolan
[02:01] <verv87> dsdeiz: LOLSSLOSLS
[02:01] <SilAmeth> i did....
[02:01] <sudansh> i hv installed wubi in different drive then the windows xp
[02:01] <dgd> SilAmeth, look at the number of people here... you are one of 100s
[02:01] <IdleOne> SilAmeth: that is a possibility at this time yes have you looked at !pppd?
[02:01] <sudansh> @merma  ya
[02:01] <IdleOne> !pppd
[02:01] <midnightleutenan> ctmjr: THANK YOU
[02:01] <IdleOne> errr
[02:01] <dsdeiz> verv87: i remember compiling it or something
[02:01] <dgd> SilAmeth, be patient,
[02:01] <verv87> wow the only help in this channel is things like how do i make gnome look like windows
[02:01] <verv87> i say cabal and everybody is like what
[02:01] <merma> sudansh: what is it?
[02:01] <dsdeiz> verv87: what do you want from cabal?
[02:01] <UBuntuNewbie> anyone here having problems getting 3d chess to play in 3d mode?
[02:02] <bfox> msg nickserv identify hello
[02:02] <SilAmeth>  I installed a 56k modem it dials but when it authenticates it says can't run /usr/sbin/pppd

[02:02] <dsdeiz> trying to install the xmonad wm?
[02:02] <IdleOne> bfox: change your password
[02:02] <rww> SilAmeth: oh, there it is, half an hour ago in my scrollback. Your problem is probably that your user isn't in the "dip" group, which is required for access to /usr/sbin/pppd.
[02:02] <sudansh> i hv windows xp installed in sda1 n ubuntu installed thru wubi in sda5
[02:02] <bfox> IdleOne: yep
[02:02] <bfox> sigh
[02:02] <verv87> i want to install a dmenu wrapper
[02:02] <pancho_13_cangri> que ondas
[02:02] <merma> sudansh: ok
[02:02] <SilAmeth> hmmm
[02:02] <ctmjr> bfox what IdleOne say's
[02:02] <verv87> yeganesh
[02:02] <SilAmeth>  that is a thought....thanks
[02:02] <rww> SilAmeth: you'd fix that with "sudo adduser yourusername dip" and logging out and back in
[02:02] <pancho_13_cangri> are you speak spanish?
[02:02] <dsdeiz> verv87: from dmwit?
[02:02] <merma> sudansh: do root (hd0,4)
[02:02] <rww> !es | pancho_13_cangri
[02:03] <n-iCe> hola
[02:03] <SilAmeth> gottcha
[02:03] <merma> sudansh: after putting sudo grub
[02:03] <verv87> dsdeiz: http://dmwit.com/yeganesh/
[02:03] <SilAmeth> rww: I appreciate it
[02:03] <rww> bfox: "hello" is a bad password ;)
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> bfox: good lesson on why you shouldnt do that in a channel, but on the "main" page
[02:03] <dsdeiz> verv87: try #xmonad, i think dmwit is there
[02:03] <aleron6> can anybody heah help me install my video driver heres the link that says what it supports http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html
[02:03] <sudansh> @merma what will it do..
[02:03] <rww> SilAmeth: you're welcome. In the future, repeating your actual question about every ten minutes or so tends to work much better, I've found. Glad we figured it out :)
[02:03] <bfox> rww: :)
[02:04] <bfox> it's not been my day so far  :)
[02:04] <dsdeiz> verv87: i'm not quite familiar with yeganesh, sorry. though i've used cabal to install xmobar i think
[02:04] <merma> sudansh: just set your root partition for grub, nothing bad
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> aleron6: well which device do you have
[02:04] <SilAmeth> rww: I hope we found it....lol I will go to that pc and try it out
[02:04] <rww> bfox: incidentally, you can set the "server password" in your IRC client to your nickserv password and it'll automatically identify you.
[02:04] <sudansh> @merma please inform me beforehand if any command formats or deleted any data...
[02:04] <IdleOne> verv87: haskell-cabal is the package name I believe
[02:04] <bfox> rww: I'll do that, thanks
[02:04] <aleron6> an intel 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller
[02:04] <merma> sudansh: dont worry
[02:05] <sudansh> @merma  k done
[02:05] <aleron6> its been hard latly to find the drivers for it cause i need them
[02:05] <merma> sudansh: now put setup (hd0)
[02:05] <IndyGunFreak> aleron6: why, can you not run 3D?
[02:05] <sudansh> @merma cannot mount selected partition
[02:05] <aleron6> yea the gamses render blurry
[02:05] <IdleOne> verv87: maybe haskell-devscripts
[02:06] <aleron6> even tried  assault cube and it was blurry on launch
[02:06] <damagu> Hey guys is there an easy way to revert all theme/menu/windowing back to defaults?
[02:06] <merma> sudansh: hmmm
[02:06] <BCS-Satori> Does anyone run SLI in Ubuntu?  How does it fair compared to Windows?
[02:06] <damagu> Also, can someone tell me how to access a /home partition when running from a livecd?
[02:06] <merma> sudansh: then youll have to go the long way
[02:07] <RapeApe> damagu: mount it
[02:07] <sudansh> @merma did u understand my problem fully..?
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> damaex: mount it and then browse it?
[02:07] <damagu> RapeApe: ah
[02:08] <damagu> RapeApe: livecds don't come with a way to backup a partition like /home do they? I mean without mounting and using some cli tools?
[02:08] <Chascon> I get the regular amsn despite adding the PPA repository and adding the key
[02:08] <Chascon> grr
[02:08] <sudansh> does anyone knows about wubi..
[02:09] <damagu> sudansh: that depends on whats you wants to knows.
[02:09] <Fohn> !ask | sudansh
[02:09] <rww> Chascon: copy the output of "apt-cache policy amsn" to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and put here a link to the page it creates
[02:09] <Fohn> or rather
[02:09] <Fohn> !anyone | sudansh
[02:10] <coolcourt> hello how would i install phpmyadmin into /home/user/public_html/
[02:10] <RapeApe> damagu: its possible, but depnding ont he livecd you can usually install software temporarily to it, so you could install an imaging app and do it that way
[02:10] <sudansh> i installed ubuntu thru wubi inside windows xp and then reinstalled winxp..now i dont get the option to choose ubuntu in the starting...can anyone help
[02:10] <rww> Fohn: considering that sudansh spent the last ten minutes giving details, those might not be the most relevant factoids ;)
[02:11] <IdleOne> sudansh: when you re-installed windows did you tell it to use the entire drive?
[02:11]  * rww asked this earlier, didn't get a reply
[02:11] <sudansh> @idleone no i have three partitions of my hard drive
[02:12] <sudansh> n winxp is installed in first one
[02:12] <sudansh> n ubuntu in second one
[02:12] <IdleOne> ok you need to fix grub
[02:12] <IdleOne> !fixgrub | sudansh
[02:12] <sudansh> @idleone ya i knw ..bt how..
[02:12] <IdleOne> follow the links and read
[02:12] <wers> it's very difficult to convert a video file that would play on the ipod touch. I tried with a few windows apps but they took a lot of time to finish and failed. any linux app you can suggest? :)
[02:13] <IdleOne> sudansh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub this is how
[02:13] <sudansh> @idleone i have installed ubuntu thru wubi inside windows as an app...
[02:13] <RapeApe> sudansh: you don't have to prepend with @ saying their nick will hilight them
[02:13] <sudansh> so this process doesnt work
[02:14] <sudansh> rapeape thnx
[02:14] <RapeApe> np
[02:14] <IdleOne> sudansh: you can backup your /home and reinstall wubi
[02:14] <Chascon> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/268301/
[02:14] <merma> sudansh: or just fix grub
[02:14] <rww> Chascon: did you do "sudo apt-get update" recently?
[02:15] <Chascon> rww: yep
[02:15] <sudansh> IdleOne i knw the alternative of reinstalling...bt isnt there any other method which doesnt require reinstalling wubi
[02:15] <rww> Chascon: what's the PPA you're using?
[02:15] <sudansh> merma how.
[02:15] <IdleOne> sudansh: yes fixing grub
[02:15] <merma> sudansh: what's so hard about the several guides that have been handed to you?
[02:15] <sudansh> idleone merma how do i fix the grub
[02:15] <slayton_> does anybody know if it is possible to sync the evolution calendars on two seperate computers each running ubuntu?
[02:16] <IdleOne> sudansh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub READ THIS DO WHAT IT SAYS AND IT WILL WORK.
[02:16] <rww> merma: they're all for fixing grub if Ubuntu's installed to a separate partition, not to a Wubi partition-as-a-file, I assume.
[02:16] <rww> IdleOne: watch your attitude, please.
[02:16] <rww> !caps
[02:16] <merma> rww: he said he installed ubuntu on a different partition
[02:16] <RapeApe> ubottu: not all of us
[02:16] <IdleOne> rww: sorry
[02:16] <sudansh> merma the prob is that these guides tell me if i have installed ubuntu in ext partitions
[02:17] <sudansh> bt i have installed ubuntu inside windows xp as an app in ntfs system
[02:17] <rww> merma: he said he installed using Wubi. The Wubi files are on a separate partition. They are still Wubi files.
[02:17] <merma> sudansh: ahhh I don't know then, just reinstall ubuntu
[02:17] <sudansh> wubi has made virtual disk ... root.disk home.disk and swap.disk
[02:18] <sudansh> which ubuntu treat as real disk..
[02:18] <merma> it has your home on a different "disk" anyway
[02:18] <Alumin> hey, how is Wubi anyway...is it a decent representation of the Ubuntu experience for someone who's interested in experimenting with an alternative OS?
[02:18] <merma> sudansh: why not install the real thing?
[02:18] <rww> sudansh: Wubi has crappy support in here, really. If I were you, I'd temporarily move your wubi stuff elsewhere, install a new throwaway wubi in the place where it used to be, then copy over all the files from your old wubi install and overwrite the new one.
[02:19] <rww> sudansh: I know it's a pain, but the way Wubi is set up is so weird (it doesn't use GRUB like normal installations, for example) that it's probably the easiest way.
[02:19] <sudansh> merma cz i dont want to create a separate partition js for ubuntu
[02:19] <thiebaude> rww, i heard alot problems with wubi
[02:19] <IdleOne> rww: I offered that solution to him. he did not like it
[02:19] <rww> Alumin: If you're at all comfortable with "real" partitioning, I'd recommend it over Wubi. There are a myriad of potential problems with it.
[02:20] <sudansh> rww actually i was going to reinstall wubi anyway bt thought if there was a way without reinstalling it
[02:20] <G-man> okay, i've finally got hardware drivers to recognize 180
[02:20] <G-man> how do i open xconfiguration now?
[02:20] <merma> sudansh: you are using the disk space anyway, just on a file inside your windows partition, why not make a partition for ubuntu, what's the problem?
[02:20] <G-man> X Server rather, sorry
[02:21] <rww> sudansh: well, you're welcome to continue looking for one, but as I said, not many people really understand what's going on with it, so it'll be tough :(
[02:21] <sudansh> merma coz then i cant use that space inside windows xp
[02:21] <slayton_> is it possible to synchronize the evolution calendar across two computers?
[02:21] <matrixblue> no one knows how to repair an ntfs partition using linux?
[02:21] <merma> actually i have a feeling fixing grub on wubi should be the same as in a standard installation
[02:21] <G-man> Anybody?
[02:22] <verv87> matrixblue: install ntfs-progs
[02:22] <verv87> look at man pag
[02:22] <verv87> e
[02:22] <matrixblue> thanks verv87
[02:22] <verv87> ntfsprogs or ntfs-progs dont remember the exact name
[02:23] <rww> matrixblue: even ntfs-progs isn't too good at it, though. NTFS being a Microsoft filesystem format has certain negative consequences like this.
[02:23] <isabellf> maybe ntfs-utils
[02:23] <rww> merma: no, it wouldn't be. Wubi uses the Windows bootloader, not GRUB.
[02:23] <merma> i hate how windows doesn't recognizes my 2 partitions inside my usb stick
[02:23] <waseem> hi i am on ubuntu 8.10 and have got the proprietary drivers installed for my xpress 200m graphics chipset, however things (firefox) renders really slow, and scrolling is really sluggish. anyone can offer any help or shed some light my way?
[02:23] <UBuntuNewbie> hi
[02:23] <cognitiaclaeves> scrounge-ntfs looks interesting, too.
[02:23] <goddard> WINDOWS SUCKs
[02:23] <matrixblue> rww, understood but Linux is my only hope in this case. cd drive doesn't work to boot the xp cd
[02:24] <UBuntuNewbie> anyone here know how to get chess to play in 3d mode?
[02:24] <merma> rww: ahhh
[02:24] <G-man> Can anybody help me with Nvidia X Server
[02:24] <sudansh> merma ya rww is right
[02:24] <G-man> I can't get it to run
[02:24] <rww> goddard: no need to be negative about other operating systems :(
[02:24] <sudansh> anyway thanx everyone for help...i guess i have to finally copy my imp data n then reinstall ubuntu :(
[02:25] <cognitiaclaeves> UBuntuNewbie: try apt-get install wesnoth .  ;)
[02:25] <lokad> hi
[02:25] <UBuntuNewbie> whats that
[02:25] <thiebaude> UBuntuNewbie, battle of wesnoth
[02:25] <cognitiaclaeves> A turn-by-turn strategy game.
[02:25] <lokad> someone here with grub-debugging-foo?
[02:28] <lokad> I'm running karmic with grub 1.97 beta2 and do not get it to boot.
[02:28] <thiebaude> !karmic
[02:29] <lokad> OK, thx much
[02:29] <thiebaude> lokad, no prolem
[02:29] <merma> karmic will brake?
[02:29] <lokad> quite often :-)
[02:29] <rww> merma: It's still in development right now, and thus we can't guarantee its stability, hence that warning.
[02:30] <G-man> okay, i've got nvidia x server up, and im enabling my secondary monitor, but it says i must press apply , and then save x configuration file.... but when i click save to x configuration file, it tells me Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[02:30] <rww> merma: when it's released, it will no longer break (hopefully ;)!
[02:30] <merma> ahh
[02:30] <dewman> hello. I would like to know how to check a hard drive? one of my drives is no longer showing up. So I wasnt sure what command I could use
[02:30] <lokad> bye then
[02:30] <merma> i wonder how much different will 9.10 will be, with it's clouding experiments
[02:31] <waseem> there is an open source driver for xpress 200m ati graphics card, can anyone help in installing it over the flgrx drivers I am using?
[02:31] <tnnc> can someone tell me what would cause ubuntu to boot direct into memtest86
[02:31] <verv87> when is 9.10 coming out for real
[02:31] <Tim__> Okay, so my computer no longer wants to recognize my USB Flash Drive after I attempted to format it
[02:31] <cognitiaclaeves> I suppose 'karmic' is an appropriate name then.  :p
[02:31] <rww> verv87: the end of October
[02:31] <G-man> okay, i've got nvidia x server up, and im enabling my secondary monitor, but it says i must press apply , and then save x configuration file.... but when i click save to x configuration file, it tells me Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[02:31] <kahrg> CHey guys, question... Is there a way in EVOLUTION to set an event in the calendar for a certain day, every day for a span of time (In this case, I want to put in my college classes, so I can look at my sched and see what I have)
[02:31] <GuidMorrow> how do I make a grub rescue disk
[02:31] <fccf> G-man: you have to run nvidia-settings with gksudo ... or you can't write to /etc/X11
[02:31] <Tim__> It is recognized in the lsusb
[02:31] <G-man> how do i do that?
[02:31] <Tim__> But I can't access it with any other means
[02:31] <cognitiaclaeves> kahrg: Are you stuck on evolution?
[02:32] <Tim__> and since it is fucked up I'd like to format it back to NTFS
[02:32] <fccf> G-man: gksudo nvidia-settings
[02:32] <Tim__> and worry about dealing with this piece of shit Ubuntu has formed into later
[02:32] <kahrg> cognitiaclaeves not nec.. but i do like it to be integrated with gnome
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> G-man: in a terminal, gksudo nvidia-settings
[02:32] <cognitiaclaeves> kahrg: .. because tb has a calendar plugin that allows you to interface to google calendar...
[02:32] <thiebaude> !language | Tim__
[02:32] <kahrg> cognitiaclaeves: tb?
[02:32] <Tim__> Oh, sorry.
[02:32] <cognitiaclaeves> thunderbird.
[02:32] <Tim__> I'm just really angry because I left my computer on sleep, then when I returned everything was imsane
[02:32] <kahrg> cognitiaclaeves: thunderbird doesnt use GTK :(
[02:33] <cognitiaclaeves> It's pretty sweet.  I can see all 6 of my google calendars on the same page with any local events...
[02:33] <Tim__> Can anyone help me find my USB drive?
[02:33] <Tim__> lsusb locates it, but fdisk -l won't, and it doesn't show up anywhere else
[02:33] <smogattack> I can't make my windows 7 partition boot on GRUB
[02:33] <G-man> nice
[02:33] <G-man> now how in the world was i supposed to know that :)
[02:33] <G-man> hehehe
[02:33] <tnnc> can someone tell me what would cause ubuntu to boot direct into memtest86 and wont boot the kernel
[02:33] <cognitiaclaeves> oh, well.  Works like mad for being able to coordinate with other people and groups.  GTK or not.
[02:33] <G-man> brb after quick restart!
[02:34] <thiebaude> !grub | smogattack
[02:34] <Tim__> Does anyone know how to have Ubuntu relocate your USB after it became corrupted?
[02:35] <Tim__> lsusb sees it, however nothing else does.
[02:35] <kahrg> cognitiaclaeves: never really used google calendar
[02:35] <Cameron> hi, I have setup two IP aliases (eth0:1, eth0:2) and now the default outgoing IP address is the one for eth0:2 rather than eth0 .. anyone know how to change this back ?
[02:35] <smogattack> thiebaude, yeah, I'm reading the first one, but I don't know whether to choose hd0,0; hd0,1, etc
[02:35] <rww> Tim__: is there any data off it you want, or is reformatting it okay?
[02:35] <kahrg> cognitiaclaeves: suppose i should look into it, but i wanted it to be integrated with gnome (for notifications)
[02:35] <Tim__> I want to reformat it
[02:35] <Tim__> I want it back in NTFS format where I can't do any more damage to it
[02:35] <cognitiaclaeves> oh, is that all?  tb has an extension to handle notifications.
[02:36] <kahrg> cognitiaclaeves: but TB is also an eyesore
[02:36] <Tim__> Ubuntu has become so madly corrupted that I had to try and manually put a LiveCD on it to boot from, however it failed and destroyed it
[02:36] <cognitiaclaeves> lol.  Guess I'm agnostic like that.
[02:36] <rafael_> hey folks
[02:36] <smogattack> thiebaude, how can I check what partition my windows 7 is on? like hd0,1
[02:37] <rww> Tim__: alright. Unplug it if it's plugged in, then plug it back in, wait about ten seconds, and run "dmesg | tail" in a terminal. You should get a bunch of messages prefaced with some numbers and then [sdX] where X is a, b, c, whatever. e.g.: "[11146.937141] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk", X is "c".
[02:37] <anthony> nice
[02:37] <k1LL_O2> hey rafa
[02:37] <kahrg> GTK applications have kind of a smooth look, that dont make my eyes strain like QT or XUL apps do
[02:37] <thiebaude> smogattack, im not sure
[02:37] <anthony> !!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally i got my dual monitor to work
[02:37] <kahrg> and use my GTK theme
[02:37] <Guest26536> but not in Ubuntu but xubuntu 8.10
[02:37] <k1LL_O2> somebody is using the karmic alpha5 now?
[02:37] <puff> Somebody gave me an old dell bluetooth keyboard, one of these:  http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/acc/P109356/en/setup.htm
[02:37] <rww> k1LL_O2: Karmic discussion in #ubuntu+1, not here, thanks.
[02:37] <smogattack>  how can I check what partition my windows 7 is on?
[02:38] <Tim__> rww: Ok, it's /dev/sdb1
[02:38] <k1LL_O2> oh, tanks!
[02:38] <Guest26536> is there any disadvantages to using xubuntu
[02:38] <Tim__> Same as it was when I could read it :p
[02:38] <Guest26536> ?
[02:38] <Tim__> At least I think so
[02:38] <rww> Tim__: you think it's the same, or you think it's sdb? 'cause the next command will wipe it out, so you should probably be sure it's sdb ;)
[02:38] <Tim__> It's definitely sdb
[02:39] <Tim__> I don't really care what it does to my comp anyways, it somehow corrupted itself while it was on sleep mode... when I turned it back on everything was completely different and messed up. >:(
[02:39] <thiebaude> !xubuntu | Guest26536
[02:39] <Tim__> But I'm 99.99999% sure it's /dev/sdb1
[02:40] <rww> Tim__: alright. next do "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=10MB" (people who are not Tim__: DO NOT DO THIS) and let it run for a few minutes (you won't get any output), then Ctrl-C it to quit it. That'll overwrite the start of the partition and completely remove any partitioning (broken or otherwise) on the drive.
[02:40] <thiebaude> Guest26536, i dont use it
[02:40] <Guest26536> what is the difference
[02:40] <Guest26536> just the GUI
[02:40] <Tim__> rw: I'm assuming I'm supposed to replace /dev/sdb with /dev/sdb1, correct?
[02:40] <tnnc> can someone tell me what would cause ubuntu to boot direct into memtest86 and wont boot the kernel
[02:40] <Tim__> And I don't replace /dev/zero?
[02:41] <Tim__> *rww
[02:41] <fuzzybunny> hey everyone what is the best way to tag lots of photos?
[02:41] <rww> Tim__: no, /dev/sdb is the name of the whole disk, which is what contains the broken partitioning. Assuming there's nothing on the disk you want, you'd want to do sdb.
[02:42] <Tim__> rww: It seems to be responding
[02:42] <Tim__> My USB light is blinking now
[02:42] <caguamon> tnnc: you have grub installed?
[02:42] <rww> Tim__: okay. Like I said, let it run for a few minutes, then do Ctrl-C to quit it. It might take a few seconds to return you to a prompt after that. After that, I'll walk you through partitioning it properly with gparted.  If you don't already have gparted installed, install it (for example, "sudo apt-get install gparted" from the command-line)
[02:45] <Tim__> rww: It's installed
[02:45] <thomc> is it normal for an fsck on a large partition (500GB) to be completed in a very short space of time (less than a minute)?
[02:45] <smogattack> Well, it's not booting my windows 7. How can I find what hd it's on?
[02:45] <rww> thomc: is it using ext4?
[02:46] <thomc> rww: no, this is a vfat partition.
[02:46] <Justnulling2> hi, system monitor shows a process with no process name/command line that respawns with a new pid every 5 seconds or so, how can i find more about this process?
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> thomc: is the drive predominantly empty?
[02:46] <caguamon> smog: does it boot any other OS?
[02:46] <rww> Tim__: alright. Run it from System -> Administration -> Partition Editor. It'll probably take a minute to scan /dev/sdb; when it's done, select it from the dropdown in the top right
[02:46] <thomc> IndyGunFreak: no, its about 2/3 full.
[02:46] <thiebaude> smogattack, grub doesn't boot windows 7
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> thomc: well, to me.. that woudl seem a bit odd
[02:47] <smogattack> thiebaude, what.....
[02:47] <Coder4Lyfe> Hi, I'm a C++ programmer moving from Windows to Ubuntu and I'm wondering if there are any good IDEs for C++ development. I'm used to Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0's C++ implementation
[02:47] <smogattack> thiebaude, any way to boot it? or should I just lose hope?
[02:47] <Tim__> Coder4Lyfe: Try Eclipse, or Netbeans

[02:47] <dsdeiz> Coder4Lyfe: there's also codeblocks
[02:47] <thiebaude> smogattack, i dont know anything about windows 7
[02:48] <Coder4Lyfe> Are those any similar to Visual Studio?
[02:48] <Tim__> Coder4Lyfe: Somewhat
[02:48] <Coder4Lyfe> I thought NetBeans was for Java development
[02:48] <thomc> IndyGunFreak: basically at some point I think I've had a data corruption (some video files on the disk now seem to be scrambled) and I'm trying to track down the cause. Nothing wrong with the drive according to badblocks or smartctl but fsck doesn't seem to be doing its job.
[02:49] <Tim__> rww: I got an error, something about "Volume 240M cannot be mounted, access denied" or something similar
[02:49] <Cameron> hi, I have setup two IP aliases (eth0:1, eth0:2) and now the default outgoing IP address is the one for eth0:2 rather than eth0 .. anyone know how to change this back ?
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> thomc: hmm, no clue
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> brb
[02:49] <Tim__> Coder4Lyfe: It is for anything
[02:49] <Tim__> Coder4Lyfe: It has C++/C plugins, and they are very easy to install
[02:49] <rww> Tim__: hrm. close gparted, pull the USB stick out, put it back in, and try again. GNOME might have tried to mount it at some point.
[02:49] <Tim__> rww: Okay, it's working
[02:50] <Coder4Lyfe> Tim__: Which do you think is closest to Visual Studio? I'd like to get started as fast as possible
[02:50] <rww> Tim__: alright. are you at a screen that looks something like http://imagebin.org/63259 ?
[02:50] <Tim__> Codr4Lyfe: I think Netbeans would be better suited for your needes... it's very easy to get the C++ plugins installed.
[02:50] <Tim__> Coder4Lyfe*
[02:51] <rigodeni> guys how do i make linux automatically mount my 2nd HDD upon a reboot. In GParted its at "/dev/sdb" and is mounted to the directory "/media/disk"
[02:51] <Tim__> Coder4Lyfe: Eclipse is a little more complex, at least from my brief experience with it.
[02:51] <Tim__> rww: Yes, it is exactly like that
[02:51] <Coder4Lyfe> Ok thanks, I'll try NetBeans.
[02:51] <rww> rigodeni: You'd need to add it to /etc/fstab
[02:51] <rww> !fstab | rigodeni
[02:52] <rww> Tim__: awesome. Make sure the "unallocated" partition is selected, then click "New" on the toolbar. You'll get a WARNING: screen, click the "Create" button.
[02:52] <diazepam> hey all just a quick one -- can anyone recommend an off site storage service?  I want to be able to run bacula and save data offsite
[02:52] <Tim__> rww: Okay, done
[02:52] <Relar> I have a newbie question.  I am installing 9.04 on an HP nx6325 laptop, hoping for native wireless support for  the broadcom 57xx wireless card, am I going to have to use ndis wrapper to get it to work?
[02:53] <rww> Tim__: Alright. do you want the whole disk to be one NTFS partition?
[02:53] <Tim__> rww: I want it to be in a partition that I can install a disc image to, to reinstall Ubuntu
[02:53] <causasui> Relar: you can find out by booting the liveCD and testing it out
[02:53] <Tim__> rww: Which I believe would be either FAT16, or FAT32
[02:53] <rigodeni> rww: k thx, reading
[02:53] <rww> Tim__: okay. So the whole thing should be FAT32? Or did you need something more complicated?
[02:54] <rww> (and yes, usb-creator wants FAT32)
[02:54] <Tim__> rww: Sure, just FAT32
[02:54] <Tim__> rww: I was wondering why usb-creator wasn't complying >.>
[02:54] <Relar> thanks, good idea.
[02:54] <tnnc> what would cause memtest86 only be in boot choice
[02:54] <rww> Tim__: awesome. Click that "unallocated" partition again, click New again, and you should get a different screen this time. Change the "File system:" dropdown to "fat32" and click "Add"
[02:54] <mdgrech> blah blah
[02:55] <rww> Tim__: yeah, it's really picky about partition layouts. Screws up for me a lot.
[02:56] <rww> Tim__: once you've done that, your screen should look like http://imagebin.org/63260
[02:56] <Tim__> rww: Okay, done
[02:56] <mdgrech> how can I hacketh adobe cs4 on linux mahine
[02:57] <rww> Tim__: alright, click the Apply button (Green checkmark) on the toolbar, then click "Apply" in the window that pops up
[02:57] <Tim__> rww: Already did
[02:57] <Tim__> :)
[02:57] <rww> Tim__: hehe. Okay, once that's done, close out gparted and usb-creator should work :)
[02:57] <Tim__> rww: Thank you sooooooo much.  I believe you may have helped me retain my sanity
[02:58] <Mqueue> lol
[02:58] <rww> Tim__: You're welcome, glad I could help. Apologies that the process takes so long!
[02:58] <Tim__> rww: No apologies needed, it's my fault for allowing my comp to get a mind of it's own and morph overnight :x
[02:58] <i00nsu> hi guys, any ftp-server app with interface ?
[02:59] <Mqueue> Tim__> no worries Tim we all go thru this one day or the other
[02:59] <Mqueue> hang in there brother
[02:59] <tnnc> what would cause memtest86 only be in boot choice
[02:59] <Tim__> G-R-E-A-T
[02:59] <rww> !ftpd | i00nsu: see the "Graphical frontends" section.
[02:59] <Tim__> Now usb-creator just crashed
[02:59] <Tim__> Which is the same exact thing it was doing for me earlier
[02:59]  * rww facepalm
[03:00]  * Tim__ :facepalm:
[03:00] <rww> Tim__: run it from the terminal (type usb-creator), it should give you a whole bunch of output
[03:00] <Tim__> Ok
[03:00] <Guest8212387> hi
[03:00] <Mqueue> only if this disk partitioning thing would a bit easier...we all would sipping beers
[03:00] <Tim__> rww: "usb-creator: command not found"
[03:01] <rww> Tim__: I'm about to go get dinner, but if you copy that output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link it here, someone will hopefully be able to help (or I will when I get back)
[03:01] <PMantis> Hi guys. Is there a quick guide for accessing an excrypted disk from a live cd?
[03:01] <Guest8212387> I've downloded ubuntu, unzipped it and wrote a cd but it doesn't read it when the computer boots up
[03:01] <rww> wut
[03:01] <Guest8212387> did i do anything wrong?
[03:01] <rww> Tim__: how do you usually get to USB creator? What's the menu item?
[03:01] <Guest8212387> It should run the "wubi" as that's the only exe file in there
[03:01] <Mqueue> PMantis> define encyption ? what type
[03:01] <Tim__> rww: It's simply USB creator... but there are two of them
[03:01] <matrixblue> Guest8212387, you been to burn the ISO directly to CD
[03:01] <Guest8212387> ah
[03:01] <rww> Tim__: in System -> Administration?
[03:02] <rww> Guest8212387: which operating system are you using to burn the ISO? Windows?
[03:02] <Tim__> rww: Yes
[03:02] <Guest8212387> vista
[03:02] <PMantis> Mqueue: I use an alternate install, and created an encrypted volume group. ALL but /boot is encrypted. I need to access it from a Live CD.
[03:02] <Tim__> rww: The first one allows me to press the "other" button and select another ISO, but it crashes when I click "Create..."
[03:02] <rww> Tim__: which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[03:02] <Tim__> rww: 9.10... but shhh
[03:02] <delner> hey guys, is GIZMODO.COM loading really slow for you guys too or is it just me? thanks
[03:02] <matrixblue> Guest8212387, http://downloads.sourceforge.net/infrarecorder/ir050.exe?download
[03:02] <PMantis> Mqueue: I'm not sure what the default encryption is...
[03:03] <matrixblue> Guest8212387, use that to burn the ISO to disk
[03:03] <rww> Guest8212387: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto#Windows for instructions
[03:03] <rww> Guest8212387: infrarecorder would be my recommendation too
[03:03] <Guest8212387> hm
[03:03] <Guest8212387> i used nero
[03:03] <Tim__> rww: I just need a way now to make a startup disc manually
[03:03] <Mqueue> PMantis> are you trying to reconfigure grub
[03:03] <Tim__> I already downloaded the initrd.gz and vmlinuz for 9.04 earlier
[03:04] <rww> Tim__: weird. Try unetbootin maybe, or ask in #ubuntu+1, or try to find usb-creator with "whereis usb-creator"
[03:04] <PMantis> Mqueue: No, my had is failing, and I'm having trouble booting from it. I need to access the data, that's all.
[03:04]  * rww disappears to dinner
[03:04] <PMantis> Mqueue: s/had/hdd/
[03:04] <spO> Deluge torrent daemon sometimes crashes/stops  , i checked the logs but it doesn't report any clear error. I would like for something simiar to inittab's respawn using ubuntu's upstart/event.d or whatever ...
[03:04] <Tim__> rww: I'm going to try and install the disc manually
[03:04] <Mqueue> PMantis>> which data r u trying to access linux or windows ?
[03:05] <Aca-Tu-Nick> :/
[03:05] <PMantis> Mqueue: EWWWWWWWWWWw, I *HATE* windoze. This is #ubuntu isn't it? :) I'm using Ubuntu 9.04, with all but /boot encrypted.
[03:05] <Aca-Tu-Nick> hola? Hello? Hi! Hole? :P
[03:06] <MRIguy> Guest8212387: I would avoid using Nero.
[03:06] <Mqueue> PMantis>> heheee..no offense just askin..not sure about that bro
[03:06] <mom_> if a normal user locks a x-windows session, is there a way for a su to unlock it?
[03:06] <neekers> hi, i'm trying to install the sun wireless toolkit 2.5.2 onto ubuntu 9.04, it's a .sh file and it wehn i try i get /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/jar: No such file or directory
[03:06] <mom_> x-window sessions
[03:07] <mom_> i mean you could change the user´s password i guess
[03:08] <rigodeni> rww: u still there?
[03:08] <neekers> is there a proper way to install the sun wireless toolkit onto ubuntu? I read a forum that said use synaptic package manager, but i couldn't find it in there
[03:08] <PMantis> Mqueue: I think I have it!  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7445254&postcount=6
[03:08] <test34> PMantis: I don't really understand why encrypting the HD is good if when it's running it has to be unencrypted ?
[03:09] <Mqueue> PMantis>>> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto8
[03:09] <FlamingFlamingo> hey guys, i started up ubuntu and it said that it's running in 'Low-graphics mode' and that i need to reconfigure my display. but everytime i revert to my default display settings and restart, it just does the same thing
[03:09] <Mqueue> okay cool
[03:10] <PMantis> test34: If you shutdown and power off the laptop, nobody can access any data on the hard drive, even if they remove it. This relies on a SECURE password.
[03:10] <test34> PMantis: 14+ characters password
[03:10] <rigodeni> ok i would like to add "/dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 auto 0 2" to fstab but when i put that in terminal i get "command not found"
[03:11] <test34> (random, that even you can't remember)
[03:11] <PMantis> test34: Yup, that's approx what I do, Upper/lower case and symbols.
[03:11] <PMantis> lol
[03:11] <MRIguy> rigodeni: use sudo gedit /etc/fstab to do the edit
[03:11] <billybigrigger> rigodeni, you need to open up the file /etc/fstab
[03:11] <billybigrigger> rigodeni, ie nano /etc/fstab
[03:12] <smogattack> I don't get what this means-- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268320/
[03:12] <test34> if I want to remember my passwords I use 8 random  Upper/lower case and symbols, otherwise I use a password manager
[03:12] <Tim__> How do I set a boot flag to a USB stick?
[03:12] <test34> tim: fdisk
[03:13] <Tim__> test34: How?
[03:13] <janderie> test
[03:13] <neekers> ahh, jar was in /usr/bin
[03:13] <Tim__> test34: I typed "fdisk /dev/sdb1" but it says "Unable to open /dev/sdb"
[03:13] <Tim__> *"/dev/sdb1"
[03:13] <rigodeni> MRIguy: k, now just to make sure, to make it automatically mount the drive i do "auto" for options part right?
[03:14] <Tim__> Nevermind
[03:14] <Tim__> I set it using Gparted
[03:14] <test34> tim__, sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[03:14] <PMantis> test34: I took the time to memorize this one, since it protects access to my HD, which contains other passwords.
[03:15] <test34> PMantis: well, you also need to change it at least once a month
[03:15] <abhi_> hi
[03:15] <rww> !gksudo | MRIguy, rigodeni
[03:15] <PMantis> test34: Why?
[03:15] <rww> rigodeni: I am now :p
[03:16] <Tim__> WTF
[03:16] <test34> PMantis: if someone gets access to your encrypted password, they might crack it ???
[03:16] <Tim__> Why isn't my computer recognizing the USB drive as a valid FAT file system?!?
[03:17] <Tim__> "Failed to mount 209M Volume"
[03:17] <rww> Tim__: did you remove it from the computer and plug it back in since the last time you did weird stuff to it?
[03:17] <Tim__> rww: Yes
[03:17] <test34> tim__, is it NTFS?
[03:17] <Tim__> test34: No, rww walked me through formatting it to a FAT32 just a minute ago
[03:18] <test34> tim__, or even better, ext2
[03:18] <zruty> When running live CD, how to bypass the language choice ?
[03:18] <PMantis> test34: If someone can walk off with my laptop, it doesn't matter if the password is new or old. This is their first stab at it, and they get to keep it as long as they want to try to crack it to see my data. Once they have it in their possession, I can't change the password.
[03:18] <G-man> Question for u gamers, out there, how do i go about getting wine tricks, i dont see it in synaptics
[03:18] <PMantis> test34: With that in mind, I pick one really strong password, and keep it for good.
[03:18] <danbhfive> G-man: have you looked at the !appdb ?
[03:18] <merma> G-man: it's just a script, it's easy to find on google
[03:18] <test34> PMantis: they could possibly get it via then internet?
 i think u have to do it via apt-get
[03:19] <hossam> hello! ive just installed my asus xonar hdav1.3 slim are there any xonar drivers available for this card?
[03:19] <Mqueue> G-man>>>  wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
[03:19] <MRIguy> ubottu: Appreciate the tip, but the /etc/fstab file is best edited via CLI editing.
[03:20] <PMantis> test34: There's no way they can access a raw block device on my laptop when it's powered off. If it's powered on, the drive is already decrypted, and there's absolutely no need for the to guess the encryption password, since luks already has is mounted.
[03:20] <G-man> okay thanks
[03:20] <Distro^Junkie> trying to get the latest amarok 2.2 in Ubuntu 9.04
[03:20] <Mqueue> G-man>>>  http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
[03:20] <Mqueue> np
[03:20] <Distro^Junkie> its asking for a gpg key
[03:20] <Tim__> "Failed to mount '2G Removable Volume'. The enclosing drive for the volume is locked."
[03:21]  * merma hates amarok
[03:21] <Tim__> WTF, then I suddenly can open it... :/
[03:21] <Tim__> My computer is doing some very odd things
[03:22] <Out_Cold> so can someone recommend a video card 512 or better that is highly supported with hdmi or component video
[03:22] <test34> PMantis: makes sense... my computer is always ON, so no sense in encrypting the HD I guess (unless it gets stolen)
[03:23] <Out_Cold> test34, also if it's encrypted and you have problems it's fairly difficult to get it all set back up...
[03:23] <test34> I do have an encrypted "partition" on a file on my USB key using truecrypt..
[03:23] <PMantis> test34: Right. I sometimes encrypt my backup servers, since they contain data from multiple systems. If that's stolen, ALL is compromised. But, an encrypted drive does *nothing* to stop attacks while the system is fully booted.
[03:23] <kljgi> 123
[03:24] <PMantis> test34: So, I always do a shutdown (or hibernate) before I travel, just is case I loose it. I never want to tell my client that I lost a device that holds their data!
[03:24] <rww> !test | kljgi
[03:24] <bill_> hi all
[03:24] <merma> anybody knows if it's possible to hide the left side bar in banshee?
[03:24] <rww> aww, jussiO1 made it not funny :(
[03:24] <bill_> anyone ever get camfrog to work on ubuntu?
[03:24] <Out_Cold> gpus anyone? I need a a good one for a big screen... my geforce 8500 drivers are garbage for tv out..
[03:25] <G-man> I'm actually trying to install Ultima Online from CD, i have wine, installed, .net and razor, but when i click regluar install it just dissapears
[03:25] <Tim__> "Failed to mount '209M Volume'.  The enclosing drive for the volume is locked."
[03:25] <Tim__> I didn't lock crap!!!!!!! >.<
[03:26] <Arc_Orion> Apparently you did.
[03:26] <extor> Is there anything available on bestbuy.com that isn't a total and complete ripoff? I have some vouchers I need to redeem...
[03:26] <rww> Tim__: how are you trying to mount it? In GNOME, or with the "mount" command?
[03:26] <rww> !ot | extor
[03:26] <roel> help
[03:26] <Tim__> rww: I'm using Xfce at current since GNOME disappeared overnight... literally
[03:26] <G-man> Anybody that has experience, with running video games thru wine, please PM me
[03:26] <test34> Out_Cold: why don't you just get a separate TV out adapter if that's the only thing that doesn't work right?
[03:26] <Korlis> hey all, i got a problem
[03:26] <Tim__> rww: I'm just going into GParted and it gives me that error
[03:27] <Korlis> i got broken deps that i can't update

[03:27]  * extor points at rww: S.N.I.T.C.H!
[03:27] <Tim__> I can still remove and add files, but I can't use syslinux on it, it says "this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem."
[03:28] <tnnc> can someone tell me why when i boot my machine now it boots right to memtest86 and not booting the kernel thanks
[03:28] <Out_Cold> well... i am having some issues with other video intensive situations also. It seem that the driver series just aren't all that great.
[03:28] <Korlis> tnnc, have you looked in your menu.lst to see which is the default boot?
[03:29] <G-man> Anybody that has experience, with running video games thru wine, please PM me
[03:29] <Tim__> I haaaaaaaaate this computer
[03:29] <tnnc> korlis when it was working up till tonight not sure how i can get to menu.lst as it boots right to memtest86
[03:29] <Korlis> ok, anyone got any ideas how to upgrade gstreamer so i can install stuff again?
[03:29] <Out_Cold> G-man, what graphics card you have?
[03:29] <G-man> 9800gt
[03:29] <Out_Cold> and what game?
[03:30] <G-man> geforce
[03:30] <Korlis> tnnc, press esc while booting to be able to choose your kernel
[03:30] <goddard> it really sucks running things through wine
[03:30] <MRIguy> !smart
[03:30] <G-man> im trying to install Ultima Online from CD
[03:30] <goddard> your better off just setting up an xp partition man
[03:30] <G-man> its a 2d game
[03:30] <goddard> I hate supporting wine
[03:30] <danbhfive> G-man: it gets a good rating on appdb
[03:30] <tnnc> korlis ok will try tought i try that and just seen memtest86 in there
[03:31] <gwildor> or vmware or somet..
[03:31] <test34> it's a really old game
[03:31] <goddard> its like supporting people to only support windows
[03:31] <goddard> game developers should port every game for linux
[03:31] <tnnc> korlis  are the kernels and memtest86 listed on the same line
[03:31] <Mqueue> Tim__>> what happened
[03:31] <Korlis> tnnc, if you don't see you rkernel in there just boot up with a live cd and edit the menu.lst manually
[03:31] <goddard> if they dont we shouldn't buy there games
[03:31] <EF_Codd> goddard yeah, that massive market would make it worth it
[03:31] <Tim__> Mqueue: I'm getting an error with my flash drive
[03:31] <G-man> so how would i go about installing it
[03:31] <Korlis> agreed goddard
[03:31] <dmem2009> ls
[03:31] <MRIguy> rww: just having fun with the bot
[03:32] <Mqueue> Tim__>> what r u trying to do ??
[03:32] <Korlis> but till then wine is a great tool, and crossover games rocks
[03:32] <EF_Codd> goddard just stop playing games altogether
[03:32] <Tim__> Mqueue: It's telling me that the "enclosed volume is locked", when I didn't lock anything.  I can still add and remove files, but I can't do anything with GParted
[03:32] <goddard> haha
[03:32] <tnnc> korlis ok will try live cd what do i need to add there never have done this
[03:32] <goddard> I only play games that are ported to Linux
[03:32] <rww> MRIguy: hmm?
[03:32] <goddard> like Neverwinter Nights
[03:32] <EF_Codd> goddard I don't play any. Ever. At all.
[03:32] <Korlis> that depends on your kernel version tnnc
[03:32] <danbhfive> goddard: can you take this to offtopic?
[03:32] <goddard> or xbox 360
[03:32] <Mqueue> Tim__>> u get that message in gparted ?
[03:32] <MRIguy> rww: I normally hang out on #ubuntu-us-ga
[03:33] <test34> EF_Codd: games aren't only a waste of time....
[03:33] <Tim__> Mqueue: Yes
[03:33] <goddard> danbhfive how is this off topic?
[03:33] <tnnc> korlis ok i am not sure what it is
[03:33] <Korlis> ok now, can nayone help me?
[03:33] <webbb82> i was thinking about installin kde 4.3 what version is stable but still new
[03:33] <webbb82> is 4.3.1 a good choice
[03:33] <danbhfive> goddard: its not a support question
[03:33] <goddard> Wine has configuration pages on tons of games
[03:33] <danbhfive> !ot | goddard
[03:34] <goddard> its best to go there
[03:34] <test34> webbb82: look at KDE's website or #kde or #kubuntu
[03:34] <webbb82> i am in those room  just no one is talking in them
[03:34] <G-man> when i double click setup.exe ont he actual install cd... it just blanks out
[03:34] <G-man> nothing happens

[03:35] <test34> webbb82: ubuntu doesn't use KDE
[03:35] <webbb82> i know
[03:35] <EF_Codd> !ot | goddard
[03:35] <webbb82> kubuntu uses kde
[03:35] <danbhfive> G-man: you probably need to run it as wine cdrom/installer.exe
[03:35] <G-man> how would i go about doing that
[03:35] <goddard> !ot | EF_Codd
[03:35] <Mqueue> Tim__>> k i was just googling it i'm not too sure about that one
[03:35] <test34> webbb82: kubuntu isn't ubuntu
[03:36] <danbhfive> G-man: do you know how to use a terminal?
[03:36] <Mqueue> Tim__>> did u read this ?      http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/free/2009/05/14/%23ubuntu-za.html
[03:36] <test34> !ot | webbb82
[03:36] <G-man> yes

[03:37] <Korlis> lalalalalalala
[03:37] <goddard> Korlis have you look on wine by chance
[03:37] <Korlis> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.15-2ubuntu1~pidgin4.9.04_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstliveadder.so', which is also in package gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight
[03:37] <Korlis> what baout wine?
[03:37] <Mqueue> Tim__>> u're just using it for Linux right ?
[03:37] <danbhfive> G-man: well, on the teminal: cd /media/cdrom
[03:37] <goddard> on there website
[03:37] <Korlis> for what?
[03:37] <G-man> no such file or directory
[03:37] <goddard> i was trying to install Perfect World and Baldurs Gate and i found out how to do it throug them
[03:38] <danbhfive> G-man: where is the cdrom mounted?
[03:38] <Korlis> i got perfect world working perfectly with crossover
[03:38] <goddard> nice good for you
[03:38] <goddard> fun game
[03:38] <G-man> no idea
[03:38] <EF_Codd> goddard these are not support questions/answers. Please take your off topic conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[03:38] <G-man> lol
[03:38] <Mqueue> Tim__>> u're just using it for Linux right ?
[03:38] <goddard> EF_Codd they are support questions
[03:38] <G-man> its right under file system
[03:38] <G-man> if that helps any
[03:38] <Tim__> Mqueue: Yes, at least at the moment...
[03:39] <Korlis> so anyone know how i can solve my problem, or will i have to just back up and reinstall?
[03:39] <goddard> EF_Codd whats with you?
[03:39] <danbhfive> G-man: when you open it, what is the location?
[03:39] <rww> EF_Codd: considering that goddard seems disinclined to listen to you, it might be best to stop telling him that, since it isn't going to make him change his mind :(
[03:39] <G-man> okay i opened the terminal
[03:39] <G-man> from the cd rom drive itself
[03:39] <EF_Codd> rww yes. I had to decide if he was willfully being off topic, or if he just wasnt' too bright
[03:39] <EF_Codd> I've decided the latter
[03:40] <EF_Codd> oh. I wasted a zinger
[03:40] <zruty> When I rename a folder on a USB stick, why doesn't it DO it?  I'm currenlty running Ubuntu, is it possible for me to upgrade to Kubuntu so I can try out the KDE desktop?
[03:42] <PMantis> UBuntuNewbie: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:42] <zruty> rww: But sometimes it works. Strange.
[03:42] <rww> 6!kde | UBuntuNewbie
[03:42] <rww> !kde | UBuntuNewbie
[03:42] <Babygirl> Holy Shit Theres Actual people on here? :O
[03:42] <zruty> rww: I mean without unmounting
[03:43] <Out_Cold> UBuntuNewbie, search the synaptics for kde
[03:43] <PMantis> UBuntuNewbie: ubuntu vs kubuntu ... there's really no difference except for what packages are installed.
[03:43] <Wildbat> hihi
[03:43] <Babygirl> HELLO?
[03:43] <Korlis> and ubuntu is pretty bad at KDE
[03:43] <cms-aff1la> Hi!
[03:43] <Wildbat> any suggestion for FTP client ?
[03:43] <UBuntuNewbie> wow thanks guys
[03:43] <Korlis> for KDE i prefer Fedora or Suse
[03:43] <KB1JWQ> !ohmy | Babygirl
[03:43] <rww> zruty: yeah. Data isn't written to the flash drive right away, it's cached and then written when the disk is "synced". This is done every so often, but if it hasn't been done since the rename, the rename won't "stick".
[03:44] <Korlis> wow, ubotto, that was a little late
[03:44] <G-man> danbhfive: anthony@anthony-desktop:/media/cdrom0$
[03:44] <zruty> rww: Understood... thanks!
[03:44] <danbhfive> G-man: what is the name of the .exe?
[03:44] <G-man> setup.exe
[03:44] <Babygirl> im confused
[03:44] <Korlis> what up babygirl
[03:44] <Babygirl> do people actually talk on this thing? :S
[03:45] <Korlis> of course we do
[03:45] <danbhfive> G-man: so try: cd /media/cdrom0 && wine setup.exe
[03:45] <rww> Babygirl: Yes. There are more than a thousand people in here right now, although most of them are idle.
[03:45] <Korlis> mostly people come here for help
[03:45] <MRIguy> Everyone have a nice evening! Adios!
[03:45] <Babygirl> ohhh okay haha
[03:45] <G-man> okay... when i do that
[03:46] <G-man> the window pops up to install... but when i click regluar install, it just closes out and nothing happens
[03:46] <rww> Wildbat: I generally just use Places -> Connect to Server... in GNOME. It has an FTP option.
[03:46] <evon> hello is there a program that lets me monitor who logs onto my wireless network?
[03:46] <Babygirl> this ubuntu thing is werid i cant figure anything out
[03:47] <PMantis> Babygirl: IRC chat has been around since 1988
[03:47] <evon> hello is there a program that lets me monitor who logs onto my wireless network?
[03:48] <Babygirl> haha wow i feel so dumb
[03:48] <rww> !repeat | evon
[03:49] <G-man> danbhfive:  did you catch that?
[03:49] <Korlis> evon, im looking it up
[03:50] <danbhfive> G-man: ok, im looking now.  Hmm, do you get any errors on the terminal?
[03:50] <G-man> glx bad drawable
[03:50] <G-man> and locking assertion failure
[03:51] <danbhfive> G-man: have you tried installing the latest wine?
[03:51] <Out_Cold> Babygirl, this chat is for ubuntu support, but you should first google your problem and check out the online forums and help pages that come with ubuntu
[03:51] <djbuggsy> Hello, I could use some help configuring X to work with an older video card.
[03:51] <adub_> what is the apache source package
[03:52] <Babygirl> okay
[03:52] <djbuggsy> Have tried reading docs and posting in the Absolute Beginners web forum.
[03:52] <Out_Cold> apache2
[03:52] <Korlis> evon: http://etherape.sourceforge.net/
[03:52] <zruty> Does syslinux parse every syslinux.cfg file or something?
[03:52] <G-man> i went to synaptics and installed the wine at the top of the list
[03:52] <UBuntuNewbie> hi, I typed in apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, and it asked me if I'm root....anyone know what I'm supposed to do next?
[03:52] <djbuggsy> I'm trying to get an older ATI Rage Pro card to run in 1024x768
[03:52] <rww> adub_: source as in source code? you'd do "apt-get source apache2", it'll download to your current directory
[03:52] <djbuggsy> So far my attempts at editing xorg.conf have hosed my computer several times.
[03:52] <G-man> do i need wine dev?
[03:52] <Out_Cold> UBuntuNewbie, do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:52] <rww> UBuntuNewbie: replace "apt-get" with "sudo apt-get"
[03:53] <Sonnyx4> hello, I've installed Ubuntu but I had windows XP before, how could I see the partitions I had?
[03:53] <adub_> k rww
[03:53] <KB1JWQ> Sonnyx4: Not if you overwrote them.
 i know what u mean i gave up with that card too
[03:53] <danbhfive> G-man: try this site, add the repo so you can get the beta version of wine: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[03:53] <UBuntuNewbie> this is what I got Out_cold : E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:53] <UBuntuNewbie> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:53] <meoblast001> anyone know the command line options to create a .tar.bz2?
[03:54] <djbuggsy> I'm covering my ears and humming lougly Mqueue :-)
[03:54] <KB1JWQ> meoblast001: xjvf
[03:54] <djbuggsy> loudly
[03:54] <LucidGuy> Ok is it just me or is Jaunty the buggiest version of Ubuntu? ..  or maybe it all went wrong because I upgraded from intrepid.
[03:54] <Out_Cold> UBuntuNewbie, you can only use apt-get OR synaptics, not both
[03:54] <G-man> what do you mean by add the repo
[03:54] <Mqueue> UbuntuNewbie>> u may have synaptics open
[03:54] <meoblast001> KB1JWQ: so it's tar -xjvf directory/ dir.tar.bz2?
[03:54] <UBuntuNewbie> ooooh
[03:54] <UBuntuNewbie> thanks guys
[03:54] <UBuntuNewbie> I'm such a donkey
[03:54] <danbhfive> G-man: are you looking at the site?
[03:54] <KB1JWQ> meoblast001: No, it's not.
[03:54] <KB1JWQ> Necrogami: man tar
[03:54] <G-man> yes
[03:55] <KB1JWQ> Er, meoblast001 rather:  man tar
[03:55] <G-man> hey by the way i have xubuntu
[03:55] <meoblast001> ok
[03:55] <G-man> does that matter?
[03:55] <danbhfive> G-man: Adding the WineHQ APT Repository:
[03:55] <musician> Hi, everybody!
[03:55] <djbuggsy> Should I keep posting my question, I don't know the etiquette on this channel and don't want to be rude.
[03:55] <rww> meoblast001: tar -jcf name_of_file_to_create files to put in it
[03:55] <Guest40971> hello!
[03:55] <Mqueue> go ahead
[03:55] <danbhfive> G-man: maybe, do you have your graphics driver installed?
[03:56] <G-man> yes
[03:56] <G-man> my graphics driver is installed
[03:56] <rww> djbuggsy: once every ten minutes or so is fine
[03:56] <danbhfive> G-man: well, I would try installing the wine
[03:56] <Korlis> iguess i'll just reinstall
[03:56] <djbuggsy> Thanks RWW.
[03:56] <UBuntuNewbie> wow
[03:56] <Out_Cold> djbuggsy, have you checked that the card is supported with ubuntu?
[03:56] <Sonnyx4> KB1JWQ: I think they are still in there... I chossed "4 GB installation" but I ahve a 128 GB disk.. I can't see the older partitions
[03:56] <G-man> how do i install off the net
[03:56] <G-man> like deb files
[03:56] <Sonnyx4> is there any application i can use to see them in ubuntu?
[03:56] <djbuggsy> Out_Cold, I've gotten conflicting info.
[03:56] <UBuntuNewbie> can someone tell me why its so much faster downloading from ubuntu than it is from Windows Xp?   I notice this when it comes to transfering files too
[03:57] <KB1JWQ> Sonnyx4: What does fdisk say?
[03:57] <djbuggsy> And I don't want to do anything advanced with it.
[03:57] <danbhfive> G-man: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[03:57] <G-man> or bz2
[03:57] <Out_Cold> check the ubuntu page...
[03:57] <G-man> i mean
[03:57] <djbuggsy> I just want to make 1024x768 resolution available.
[03:57] <smogattack> Anyone know how to get windows 7 to boot using GRUB?
[03:57] <zapconquest>  hello I have a ram question -- I have one dimm of 1gb ddr2 800 memory installed. I want to buy another one to get the dual channel bonus. Do I have to buy one with the same cas latency and timing?
[03:57] <djbuggsy> What's weird is that resolution is available in Puppy.
 does your PC crash when you activate visual effects ??
[03:57] <KB1JWQ> zapconquest: Matched memory.
[03:57] <rww> zapconquest: ask in ##hardware
[03:57] <zapconquest> ?
[03:57] <Sonnyx4> KB1JWQ: I can't even boot in windowx XP, I've lost the selection boot screen, it only boots Ubuntu... but I'm sure I haven't formatted anything at all, my old OS is still in there.
[03:57] <zapconquest> kk
[03:58] <djbuggsy> Mqueue, how do I activate visual effects in Ubuntu 8.04?
[03:58] <Sonnyx4> Ubuntu says that I have only one drive of 4 GB
[03:58] <gwildor> Sonnyx4, did you edit /boot/grub/menu.list ?
[03:58] <danbhfive> zapconquest: yes, quite likely
[03:58] <KB1JWQ> Sonnyx4: Not what I asked.
[03:58] <KB1JWQ> Sonnyx4: I repeat, what does fdisk say?
[03:58] <Mqueue> right click desktop and properties
[03:58] <Out_Cold> Sonnyx4, check for the part on boot up if it asks to see grub menu..
[03:58] <Sonnyx4> gwildor: I am a total newbie in Ubuntu, should I do that through command prompt?
[03:58] <Mqueue> sorry change desktop background
[03:58] <Korlis> UBuntuNewbie: ext is faster than NTFS in general, far as tranferring files from external or downloading i can only assume you had outdated drivers in windows, as it shouldn't be any difference
[03:58] <russ5811> I just bought the Netgear Digital Entertainer Live. Anyone know how much VuNow charges? It says there's a fee and I can't find it on their website, in forums, or anywhere. Can anyone help?
 mine does that not right away but after like 5  mins or so it does crash
[03:59] <G-man> okay
[03:59] <Mqueue> i gave up with it and just left it alone and truned it off
[03:59] <G-man> i've got the latest version of wine
[03:59] <KB1JWQ> !ot | russ5811
[03:59] <djbuggsy> "Desktop Effects could not be enabled"
[03:59] <UBuntuNewbie> Korlis : well i downloaded a 17 mb file in like 3 seconds on ubuntu, it usually takes 3 times as much on xp... I don't know hwy
[04:00] <russ5811> well i figured a group of tech savvy people may be able to help. sorry to bother you.
[04:00] <Sonnyx4> omg I'm so noob in ubuntu hehe
[04:00] <russ5811> thanks
[04:00] <UBuntuNewbie> Sonnyx4:  I feel your pain lol
[04:00] <Out_Cold> djbuggsy, check in settings>preferences>appearance
[04:00] <Korlis> as i said newbie, probably outdated drivers
[04:00] <Out_Cold> last tab
[04:00] <Sonnyx4> lol
 by default it is usually but i turned it off cuz of that crashing situation
[04:00] <Korlis> windows doesn't update it's drivers for you
[04:00] <russ5811> since i can't ask that question here. any suggestions where to go?
[04:01] <djbuggsy> Out_Cold, the resolutions only go up to 832x624
[04:01] <russ5811> or is that asking too much?
 ATI has lack of support for linux
[04:01] <KB1JWQ> !ot | russ5811
[04:01] <KB1JWQ> russ5811: The factoid told you where to go.
[04:01] <danbhfive> G-man: hopefully, that works.  Else, I don't know
[04:01] <ink> what keeps overwriting /etc/motd?
[04:01] <schism30> djbuggsy: What video card do you have?
[04:01] <djbuggsy> Mqueue, here's myu question.
[04:01] <djbuggsy> Why will the same computer run at 1024x768 in Puppy Linux?
[04:01] <russ5811> have fun helping each other out.
[04:02] <rww> ink: update-motd. "man update-motd" may be of interest :)
[04:02] <Sonnyx4> alright, there's a text editor in Ubuntu... you are basically telling me that I can open the boot configuration file and edit this so that I could boot windows again???
[04:02] <ink> rww: gracias
[04:02] <Sonnyx4> what kind of parameters should I add???
[04:02] <Lunatic> So, say I found a module in lsmod and I want to disable it in blacklist.conf do I just type in the name of the module in lsmod and type in blacklist before it?
[04:02] <UBuntuNewbie> Korlis:   DO you have a suggestion as to which file system I should install ubuntu in?  Also, for pre-installation setup, do you think 2 partition is enough?  ( 1 for ubuntu root, and 1 for swap (2 Gb))
[04:02] <djbuggsy> I don't think the card's not capable of running the resolution, I just want to know how to add an additional resolution to Administration/Preferences
[04:02] <ink> # man update-motd
[04:02] <ink> No manual entry for update-motd
[04:02] <ink> :-(
 i haven't been able to figure this out for a long time now it's a valid question
[04:02] <djbuggsy> If the system crashes, oh well!  :-D
[04:03] <Korlis> UBuntuNewbie: EXT4 is the best imo, and yes, 2 partitions is enough
[04:03] <shane2peru> djbuggsy: what graphics card do you have?
[04:03] <smogattack> Anyone know how to get windows 7 to boot using GRUB?
[04:03] <djbuggsy> ATI Rage Pro IIC
[04:03] <Lunatic> is ext4 out of beta yet?
[04:03] <Mqueue> ATI Rage pro
[04:03] <KB1JWQ> smogattack: Only about 5000 articles on the subject on google.
[04:03] <Korlis> Lunatic, i think so
[04:03] <shane2peru> djbuggsy: eek, ATI
[04:03] <UBuntuNewbie> thank you very much
[04:03] <djbuggsy> Gee, thanks Shane.
[04:03] <Korlis> ive had no problems with it
[04:03] <djbuggsy> lol
[04:03] <shane2peru> djbuggsy: have you installed the proprietary drivers?
[04:04] <Lunatic> huh, didn't know that. awesome
[04:04] <djbuggsy> None available for that old card...
[04:04] <smogattack> KB1JWQ, no there isnt
[04:04] <Korlis> on my 80 gig laptop fsck takes like 30 seconds with ext4
[04:04] <djbuggsy> At least not from the "Hardware" thingie.
[04:04] <djbuggsy> Can I get drivers via apt or synaptic?
[04:04] <shane2peru> djbuggsy: ohh, old too, I'm afriad that I can't be of much help.
[04:04] <KB1JWQ> smogattack: My error.  There are just shy of two million.
[04:05] <KB1JWQ> http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+7+grub&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a <-- smogattack
[04:05] <shane2peru> djbuggsy: I do know this, some distro's handle ATI better than others.
[04:05] <djbuggsy> Let me try a different tack.
 if u have 9.04 don't try it ..u will end up in crashes
[04:05] <Chascon> hey guys
[04:05] <djbuggsy> Mqueue, I know.
[04:05] <Lunatic> ay I found a module in lsmod and I want to disable it in blacklist.conf do I just type in the name of the module in lsmod and type in blacklist before it?
[04:05] <Korlis> djbugsy, buy a nvidia card
[04:05] <djbuggsy> :'(
[04:05] <smogattack> KB1JWQ, that's just adding. it doesn't actually make it boot
[04:05] <Chascon> where is vlc? I don't see it with "aptitude search vlc"?
[04:05] <afallenhope> hey is there a reason as to why wHeN I load the LiveCD my wireless doesn't work??
[04:05] <shane2peru> djbuggsy: perhaps you could find a card somewhere, ebay or something
[04:05] <djbuggsy> Korlis, I'm trying to get this to work so I can give away some old P3 server boxes running this config.
 the drivers they wrote for ATI with 9.04 are newer when i download from ATI website that messed me up
[04:06] <djbuggsy> OK
[04:06] <Out_Cold> afallenhope, because your wireless card driver isn't automatically instlled..
[04:06] <Korlis> ah, have you tried installing superos on it djbuggsy?
[04:06] <Chascon> there isn't smplayer but there is a smplayer-themes package? That doesn't make sense.
[04:06] <djbuggsy> System/Preferences
[04:06] <Sonnyx4> Alright people. I'll make my question easier: I installed Ubuntu over Windows but Windows is still in there because I created a new partition from my unpartitionated 128 GB Disk. Now I can't choose to boot windows when it starts, not even when I press ESC to see the "Operative Systems List"... and I can't even see my hard disks in Ubuntu (maybe because it doesn't support NTFS) ??
[04:06] <djbuggsy> Screen Resolution
[04:06] <schism30> Korlis: Agreed.. Nvidia works much better with Linux than ATI
[04:06] <djbuggsy> How do I force Ubuntu to add 1024x768
[04:06] <KB1JWQ> Sonnyx4: Once more, what does fdisk say?
[04:06] <barqs> How can I reset by ubuntu repository List?
[04:06] <afallenhope> Out_Cold it used to be supported.. how would I go about having the wireless work?
[04:06] <Out_Cold> afallenhope, you can install it and load from there but you would have to find your driver for your card first
[04:07] <Korlis> SuperOs is a modified ubuntu that has all the codecs and drivers you need installed by default
[04:07] <Sonnyx4> KB1JW: I can't start Fdisk, is there other application that can show me through Ubuntu what partitions I have??
[04:07] <KB1JWQ> Sonnyx4: I don't know or care to know what the GUI flavor of the day is.  If you can't start fdisk from a terminal you have larger problems.
[04:07] <Sonnyx4> I downloaded one program, it says my disk is 128 GB and that there's only ONE partition of 4 GB (where Ubuntu is installed right now)
[04:07] <G-man> Is it possible to run UO with wine on xubuntu
[04:07] <G-man> ?
[04:08] <Sonnyx4> the only fdisk I know is the DOS version of microsoft... I don't have windows boot disks right now :S
[04:08] <Korlis> djbuggsy: http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS
[04:08] <Out_Cold> G-man, test it and let us know..
