[10:36] <bruenig> not a BSOD on linux!?!?
[10:36] <emil> i'd like to install google earth, i downloaded the file (bin), but how to nstall?
[10:36] <bruenig> bsod - blue screen of death
[10:36] <Tonren> cess: fglrxinfo now outputs stuff about ATI.  any other way to test the install success?
[10:36] <eternalswd> how do I append terminal output to a file?
[10:37] <SillyZ> eternalswd:  try command > file
[10:37] <Symbolizer> it asks me if i wannna see the error-log.
[10:37] <homer_linux> symbolizer have just just update the nvidia restricted package think   had the same problem
[10:37] <SillyZ> use >> to append, the > will overwrite
[10:37] <bruenig> eternalswd, just add > whatever.txt to the end of it
[10:37] <dibblego> Symbolizer, have you looked at the error log?
[10:37] <bruenig> oh append
[10:37] <bruenig> ah
[10:37] <Symbolizer> dibblego, im not used to the "text-based" linux actually..
[10:37] <AndroidData> hello. I'm Data. I'm using UBUNTU (latest, just installed) and I installed WINE. I have a specific application that I want to run with WINE (BYOND, since the Linux version is text-only). At the moment, the main program is giving me an "Application Error" which either has to do with the richtext dll or IE. any help?
[10:37] <emil> i'd like to install google earth, i downloaded the file (bin), but how to nstall?
[10:38] <dibblego> Symbolizer, surely you can try?
[10:38] <aceracer24> Anyone know how to restart InitNG? It segfaulted when I did sudo ngc -L.
[10:38] <Symbolizer> homer_linux, thanks i'll try that
[10:38] <lostinc> Is there a easy way to remove fonts that are not relevant to the english language?
[10:38] <ompaul> emil, chmod 766 GoogleEarthLinux.bin && sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[10:38] <SillyZ> ugh I really dont want to have to re-install ubuntu over a silly little sound issue..... anyone got time for a sound problem?
[10:38] <ubuntu__523> I am getting a Kernal Panic error on my x64 program. What is wrong
[10:38] <Symbolizer> dibblego, of course :-)=
[10:38] <Agrajag> 766?
[10:38] <covOPprometheus> when I insert a disk into my CDROM it isn't mounted everytime, to be more specific, it almost never mounts, as if the cd's would not be read, can anyone help me?
[10:38] <Agrajag> what kind of bizarre-ass permission is 766?
[10:38] <erUSUL> emil: chmod +x file.bin && sudo file.bin &
[10:39] <Agrajag> Why would you want san executable file to be world-writeable?
[10:39] <emil> thanks ompaul and erUSUL
[10:39] <SillyZ> thatd be rwxrw-rw- i belive 766
[10:39] <bruenig> Arajag, 766, gives read write execute permissions to the user, and read and write execute priveleges to the group and others
[10:39] <AndroidData> :[
[10:39] <Agrajag> SillyZ: I know that
[10:39] <SillyZ> Agrajag: you asked, so i told ya
[10:39] <Agrajag> bruenig: why would you want world write priveleges on any file you plan on executing?
[10:39] <Agrajag> 744 I could understand, or 755
[10:40] <SillyZ> but yes 766 is a bizzare arsed permission set
[10:40] <Agrajag> but to allow anyone to write to the file if they're not allowed to execute it?
[10:40] <emil> ompaul: how do i define that it's located on de desktop
[10:40] <trappist> SillyZ?
[10:40] <smax> error: stdio.h: No such file or directory  why?
[10:40] <SillyZ> trappist: trappist?
[10:40] <ompaul> Agrajag, cos I am evil  (typo tbh I need a rest)
[10:40] <tuxtux__> ciao a tutti
[10:40] <bruenig> Agrajag, perhaps some weird scenario needs it
[10:40] <trappist> SillyZ: long time no see, if you're who I think you are
[10:40] <Agrajag> smax: stdio.h is a microsoft library
[10:40] <ladydoor> Symbolizer: the terminal isn't so bad once you get used to it--and at first, it's usually ok to copy/paste. but it's good to get to where it doesn't intimidate you because it's *much* easier to, for example, say "do adduser username" than to try to walk you through all the steps to do the same thing in the gui
[10:40] <eternalswd> okay, the time command isn't working in doing time > file.txt  how do I get the current time to the file.  this is in a bash script
[10:40] <smax> no it is not a MS lib
[10:40] <SillyZ> Its me trappist.... same ol sillyz from the mandunked days
[10:41] <smax> jesus christ.  it's part of the ansi c standard
[10:41] <smax> i even installed libc6-dev
[10:41] <Agrajag> smax: well it's not in GNU C anyway
[10:41] <trappist> SillyZ: so many from back then have seen the light, and show up here :)
[10:41] <smax> it is on my gentoo box
[10:41] <ladydoor> eternalswd: date?
[10:41] <Agrajag> wait
[10:41] <smax> and the schools sun bux
[10:41] <smax> box
[10:41] <emil> erUSUL: How do i define that it's on de destktop
[10:41] <tuxtux__> reboot
[10:41] <Agrajag> am I thinking of conio
[10:41] <ompaul> emil, actually do it slightly differently, chmod 744 /home/username/GoogleEarthLinux.bin && shGoogleEarthLinux.bin
[10:41] <Agrajag> yes I am, I'm a moron
[10:41] <smax> am i missing something from $path ?
[10:41] <ompaul> emil, actually do it slightly differently>> chmod 744 /home/username/GoogleEarthLinux.bin && sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[10:41] <SillyZ> trappist: Yup, saw the light coming along time ago, and it was the train.....
[10:41] <erUSUL> emil: ?? define what ??
[10:41] <Agrajag> smax: are you using gcc or g++?
[10:41] <smax> gcc
[10:41] <aceracer24> Anyone know how to restart InitNG? It segfaulted when I did sudo ngc -L.
[10:41] <smax> always
[10:41] <Agrajag> huh
[10:41] <eternalswd> ladydoor, that's the one I was looking for, thanks
[10:42] <Agrajag> ok
[10:42] <ompaul> smax, build-essetial for that
[10:42] <trappist> smax: sudo apt-get install build-essential and be done with it
[10:42] <Agrajag> Did you install build-essential?
[10:42] <smax> ahh
[10:42] <smax> thanx guys
[10:42] <ompaul> smax, build-essential without the typo
[10:42] <ladydoor> eternalswd: sweet!
[10:42] <Siphroma> What is a good client for linux for gnutella
[10:42] <SillyZ> trappist : join #sillyz
[10:43] <smax> it is already the newest version
[10:43] <JoseStefan> !p2p
[10:43] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network). BitTorrent: see !torrent Direct connect: try valknut. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[10:43] <lukus001> Can someone please tell me how to chroot my system to rub 32bit applications?
[10:43] <Siphroma> Thanks
[10:43] <mathieu> smax: show how you compile
[10:43] <smax> gcc app.c
[10:43] <lukus001> lol run :p
[10:44] <mathieu> smax: and app has #include <stdio.h> ?
[10:44] <smax> of course
[10:44] <mathieu> app.c
[10:44] <smax> yes  it worked on an other box
[10:44] <smax> it
[10:44] <smax> it's a one file app.
[10:44] <mathieu> smax: try this: gcc -I/usr/include app.c
[10:44] <Agrajag> lukus001: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&highlight=32-bit+chroot
[10:45] <mathieu> smax: it's an ubuntu box?
[10:45] <quiet> s/an/a
[10:45] <Agrajag> I used that guide way back in breezy and it works fine
[10:45] <smax> no Debian it work.  but gcc -I/usr/include  doesent work.  still same compile errors
[10:45] <lukus001> Agrajag, thank you, ill have a look at the link
[10:45] <smax> are the headers there?
[10:45] <mathieu> smax: ls /usr/include/stdio.h
[10:45] <aceracer24> Anyone know how to restart InitNG? It segfaulted when I did sudo ngc -L.
[10:45] <mathieu> smax: what does that say?
[10:46] <Vegeta^> Are all the ports closed when Linux (ubuntu) is installed?  Like 6881 for KTorrent and etc.?
[10:46] <quiet> Vegeta^, they're open if you're not running a firewall
[10:46] <smax> mathieu:  that whole dir is practically empty
[10:46] <lukus001> Agrajag, Yeah I used one back in beeezy's day that was really easy to do (might be this one) and worked a charm... the one in ubuntu's wiki killed my system
[10:46] <smax> where do i get the headers?
[10:46] <bruenig> Vegeta^, you can open a terminal and do sudo iptables --flush
[10:46] <jpjacobs> Vegeta^, they are closed by default
[10:46] <mathieu> smax: reinstall libc6-dev
[10:46] <smax> i have that libc6-dev
[10:46] <mathieu> REINSTALL
[10:47] <smax> ok
[10:47] <jpjacobs> Vegeta^,  most of them that is...if you want to check (and you are'nt behind a NATTing router, look this way: www.auditmypc.com
[10:48] <mathieu> smax: some files might have been deleted. if you have libc6-dev, the files should be there. so reinstalling should fix it. unless you're not running ubuntu
[10:48] <mathieu> reinstall is aptitude reinstall (or apt-get install --reinstall)
[10:49] <quiet> where is the iptables config in Ubuntu anyways?
[10:49] <Agrajag> he should probably reinstall build-essential in case something else got screwed up as well
[10:49] <smax> mathieu:  reinstalling it worked.  thanx buddy
[10:49] <Agrajag> if linc6-dev got wiped some other packages might have also
[10:49] <mathieu> Agrajag: reinstalling build-essential won't do anything. it's a virtual package
[10:49] <Agrajag> oh, it won't reinstall the packages it depends on?
[10:49] <Agrajag> damn
[10:49] <mathieu> Agrajag: it only has dependencies. reinstall won't affect dependencies
[10:49] <kotatsu> anyone else unable to boot edgy with the latest kernel?
[10:50] <mathieu> smax: no problem. glad i could help you
[10:50] <bruenig> quiet, you can use the terminal and iptables or firestarter is supposed to be a good graphical front end for iptables
[10:50] <quiet> i don't want graphical... isn't there a config file to edit?
[10:51] <bruenig> quiet, do man iptables
[10:51] <mathieu> quiet: there's no config file. you can create a shell script that's run on startup (before the network goes live)
[10:51] <mathieu> quiet: well, that's how i do it anyway, maybe there a fancy way in the meanwhile
[10:51] <mathieu> there's
[10:52] <jpjacobs> quiet, there is iptables-save and iptables-restore to facilitate the setting of the rules
[10:52] <quiet> :\  there HAS to be a config file SOMEWHERE... how else would it store rules?
[10:52] <quiet> red hat is /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config
[10:52] <quiet> maybe i'm just used to PF.
[10:52] <mathieu> quiet: it's kept in memory i guess

[10:54] <dk06> hey philh are u here
[10:54] <dk06> so yeah
[10:54] <dk06> has anyone ever tried to install nvidia drivers before?
[10:55] <skypa> someone with a gnupg capable mail client and a keypair willing to do 2 minutes of testing with me? :)
[10:55] <dk06> cuz i just did, and i messed up my x with one command
[10:55] <dk06> its when you type sudo nvidia-glx-enable config
[10:55] <dk06> i did that, and i got an error
[10:55] <dk06> and it asked me to do 1 of 2 things
[10:55] <mathieu> dk06: where does that tool come from?
[10:55] <dk06> umm
[10:55] <dk06> i dunno
[10:56] <dk06> anywhom
[10:56] <dk06> so
[10:56] <dk06> the first option is someting to do with md5chksum
[10:56] <mathieu> dk06: check the ubuntu online docs on how to configure the nivdia driver
[10:56] <dk06> and the second
[10:56] <dk06> is
[10:56] <mathieu> and forget about the rest
[10:56] <dk06> to change "nv" to "nvidia" in your xorg.conf
[10:56] <dk06> so i tried the second one
[10:56] <dk06> and it didnt work
[10:56] <Sarra_> Is there a way to defrag FAT partitions in Ubuntu?
[10:56] <dk06> so then i tried the first one
[10:57] <dk06> and it did someting
[10:57] <dk06> and now my x is messed

[11:10] <shut-> anyone know
[11:10] <mathieu> w3m with vesa is nice

[11:11] <m4rk> please
[11:11] <jpjacobs> m4rk, try just plugging it in ;)
[11:11] <THX-1138> vesa is an early way of controlling the screen
[11:11] <dk06> oh ok
[11:12] <mathieu> well, vesafb actually. it's a universal framebuffer. it allows you to use higher resolution & show pictures in console
[11:12] <dk06> is there  a way to play music from console?
[11:12] <m4rk> i did jpjacobs but it says /dev/video1 no such device
[11:12] <mathieu> dk06: sure, use a command-line musicplayer
[11:12] <dk06> awesome
[11:12] <mwe> dk06: mplayer for example
[11:12] <dk06> im gonna have lots of fun with command line :D
[11:12] <jrib> dk06: mocp is a nice ncurses player with a playlist and stuff
[11:12] <Lynoure> m4rk: depends a lot  on which one, some are plain not linux friendly
[11:12] <dk06> are there games to play in console?
[11:12] <dk06> lol
[11:13] <dk06> maybe hangman
[11:13] <m4rk> it's a normal firewire dv cam
[11:13] <jpjacobs> m4rk, try looking in the output of dmesg|tail just after plugging the thing in, it should say which device it is connected too
[11:13] <ladydoor> dk06: you might also check out pytone for music. and nethack for games
[11:13] <mathieu> clanbomber is a framebuffer game
[11:13] <dk06> sweet

[11:15] <WillRock>  http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/knot3
[11:15] <WillRock> that release?
[11:16] <Hybernate> still cant find where to get the support for mp3 files on the restricted page

[11:17] <mathieu> Hybernate: OP?
[11:17] <jrib> Hybernate: OP?
[11:17] <Paddy_EIRE> what will open/convert a ".daa" (I think its an iso belonging to poweriso) file and burn it in linux
[11:17] <kitche> WillRock what do you mean numb?
[11:17] <Hybernate> sorry OS
[11:18] <THX-1138> mp3 is patented and costs money for every binary distributed. (at least here in the U.S.)
[11:18] <mathieu> everywhere
[11:18] <WillRock> numb in the sense that why bother with visual updates...i mean having them is nice...but better not to term them as features;i would rather have the display and audio drivers fixed
 great movie :)
[11:18] <Hybernate> il keep looking maybe il find some way to get it to work
[11:18] <THX-1138> mathieu - France and the netherlands also?

[11:19] <mathieu> THX-1138: sure. some germans patented it

[11:20] <WillRock> not a single mention of the fix of display drivers
[11:20] <THX-1138> Hello Howlingman
[11:20] <Who_> I have a disk that crashes fsck
[11:20] <MrRio> Howlingmadman: depends on the makes/model
[11:20] <Brinks> does Ubuntu have drivers for the Linksys WMP11 v2.7?
[11:20] <Who_> is there anything I can do?
[11:20] <bintrue|work> I'm having some problems with a remote x application and ubuntu. It works fine on fedora and SuSe workstations but I keep getting an error about  not being able to connect to the X Server.
[11:20] <Brinks> it shows a wireless card in networking but it doesn't work
[11:20] <MrRio> Howlingmadman: Is it a laptop?
[11:20] <Howlingmadman> Mr. Rio I have a dell inspiron b120
[11:20] <jrib> Hybernate: in the table of contents 5.1 MP3
[11:21] <THX-1138> !wifi > Howlingmadman
[11:21] <Brinks> maybe I need to disable my network's MAC filter first
[11:21] <mathieu> bintrue|work: how are you setting up the X connection?
[11:21] <WillRock> .....
[11:21] <WillRock> well?
[11:21] <sethk> Brinks, more likely a key issue, if your wireless net uses a key
[11:21] <korba-> what can i do if a packaget is one or two versions behind ?
[11:21] <Howlingmadman> thanks
[11:21] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know how to burn .daa in linux
[11:21] <mathieu> korba-: apt-get install package
[11:22] <Telroth|School> Paddy_EIRE, can't
[11:22] <gbrent> !xgl

[11:22] <Ubunfoo> Since installing compiz, I've lost my windows key controls for amarok.  Anyone have any ideas?
[11:22] <Telroth|School> Paddy_EIRE, you have to install powerISO on windows
[11:22] <bintrue|work> mathieu, my ubunut box is the workstation with the remote server being an Irix box. I telnet into the irix box and should be able to just run a command. (at least thats how it works on other linux distros in my office)
will wine run this app
[11:22] <korba-> mathieu - no the problem is that the version in the _repository_ is outdated
[11:22] <Telroth|School> Paddy_EIRE, and then hack it if the file is larger than 300 mb
[11:22] <sethk> korba-, behind what?  I'm not sure whether you mean there is a newer version of the program for which a package isn't available, or you are upgrading by more than one version, or what.
[11:22] <Telroth|School> Paddy_EIRE, i don't know, i haven't tried it
[11:22] <Who_> Ubunfoo: it will probably be becuase you have Compiz using the Windows key for something - like moving a windo
[11:22] <Who_> w
[11:22] <mathieu> bintrue|work: is $DISPLAY set correctly? does your X server accept remote connections?
[11:22] <korba-> sethk: first option
[11:23] <sethk> korba-, compile from source, or use the older version.
[11:23] <korba-> newer version of the program for which there isn't a package
[11:23] <CromagDK> dude, anyone installed winamp with wine ?
[11:23] <mathieu> bintrue|work: you might have to remove -nolisten from the gdm or kdm config
[11:23] <MrRio> Howlingmadman: ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_3020_5020/driver/80211g.zip
[11:23] <CromagDK> im only able to move them all sepretly heh
[11:23] <bintrue|work> mathieu, I can run remote apps via ssh but not telnet
[11:23] <Who_> anyone know what to do when fsck brings the computer _seriously_ down - no SYS REQ or anything...?
[11:23] <bintrue|work> mathieu, gdm/kdm I thought that was only xserverrc
[11:23] <m4rk> jpjacobs: it says [17181208.172000]  usb 4-1.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[11:23] <Who_> I want to file a bug but I don't know how to find out more
[11:24] <JoseStefan> !winamp
[11:24] <ubotu> winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use beep-media-player or xmms as alternative.
could this be done if i ran a version of windows for this task alone on a vmware virtual os running on the same harddrive as my ubuntu, i have 1600 athlon xp with 512 system ram
[11:24] <mathieu> bintrue|work: gdm has an option to provide -nolisten to the X server. it's on by default
[11:24] <Caplain> what do i need to install to watch mpg's and avi's?
[11:24] <mathieu> bintrue|work: i had the same problem
[11:24] <jpjacobs> m4rk, then it doesn't get recognized natively. google for more info on your cam+linux
[11:24] <ISOLATEDViRuS> hey guys
[11:24] <sethk> Who_, are you sure it never comes back?
[11:24] <bintrue|work> mathieu, thanks I will look into that
[11:24] <ISOLATEDViRuS> i need to mount a new hdd i have
[11:24] <Telroth|School> Paddy_EIRE, depends. you probably could.
[11:24] <sethk> Who_, does the caps lock light respond to the caps lock key?  is the disk activity light on?
[11:24] <korba-> sethk: ok i can do that .. only thing is about directories ... i understand compiling may install to a different directory as opposed to packages
[11:24] <mathieu> bintrue|work: check ps aux | grep X   you should see -nolisten there. you need to get rid of it
[11:25] <sethk> korba-, by default, but easy to override
 what version of windows would be least resource consuming for this??
[11:25] <m4rk> jpjacobs: ok thanks i'll see what i can work out
[11:25] <ISOLATEDViRuS> how do i mount a new harddrive?
[11:25] <sethk> korba-, the default for a source package is usually /usr/local, but there is an override option you can use on the configure step
[11:25] <THX-1138> Paddy_EIRE It will work. though more ram maybe 750mb will keep you from using any swap file
[11:25] <Telroth|School> Paddy_EIRE, i think you have to have XP to run powerISO. 2k may also work
[11:25] <sethk> korba-, with most programs there is also an override that works on the install step.
[11:25] <dk06> how do u browse up and down in console
[11:25] <Nezza> damn any one know of a guide howto install fluxbox from a server install?
[11:25] <axee> how can i increase my screen resolution, its only 1024x768 - i have my graphics card installed now :o
[11:25] <sethk> korba-, and a third option is to use a symbolic link, e.g., link /usr/local/bin/xyz to /usr/bin/xyz
[11:25] <korba-> sethk: yes, but how do i know where the package installed the files, so i overwrite them ?
 with the setup ive got would it still be possible even if its slow
[11:26] <ISOLATEDViRuS> !mount
[11:26] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[11:26] <Telroth|School> dk06, shift+pgup shift+pgdown
[11:26] <dk06> ok ty
[11:26] <THX-1138> Absolutely YES it will work
[11:26] <salim> I want to install anjuta 2.0.2, but it doesnt work, the only unstable version available is 1.2.4a
[11:26] <Paddy_EIRE> nice one
[11:26] <sethk> korba-, you mean the new one, or the one that's already installed?
[11:26] <salim> although I've added unstable
[11:26] <ISOLATEDViRuS> grr
[11:26] <sethk> korba-, you can get a list of files associated with a package.
 is vmware hard to setup
[11:26] <dk06> telrtohschool
[11:26] <ISOLATEDViRuS> !mounting
[11:26] <Who_> sethk: disk activity light never actually works
[11:26] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[11:26] <dk06> i cant browse all the way up
[11:26] <korba-> sethk: good, how do i do that ?
[11:26] <dk06> because there is a man
[11:26] <sethk> korba-, with the source, after building,     make -n install     will show you the installation commands without actually executing them
[11:26] <dk06> i cant browse above the man
[11:27] <sethk> Who_, that's odd.  is the hardware broken do you think?
[11:27] <Who_> sethk: I left it about an hour... Didnt think to check num/caps lock but normally if sysreq+B does nothing then it won't work
[11:27] <sethk> Who_, obviously it shouldn't crash the system even if the hardware is broken.
[11:27] <THX-1138> Paddy_EIRE - well it is easier recently synaptic can install it for you.
[11:27] <mbx2112> can anyone help me remove or purge a half-installed .deb of jedit (msg me)
[11:27] <Who_> sethk: only the LED, I think - not the disk :)
[11:27] <sethk> Who_, you are probably correct but I'd check caps lock or num lock anyway.
[11:27] <korba-> sethk: and how about a list of files (locations) of the already installed package
[11:27] <korba-> or maybe i can remove the package
[11:27] <korba-> and compile from source
[11:27] <Who_> sethk: will do - I want to get a bit more info before I crash the system again :)
[11:27] <osfameron> can you get transparent windows in ubuntu gnome?  (without xgl) ?
[11:27] <sethk> korba-, sure, you can uninstall
[11:28] <korba-> but if i ever want to upgrade from pacakges .. i guess chaos right ?
[11:28] <sethk> Who_, ok
[11:28] <guerby> hmmm my dapper just froze completely, no ping, no keyboard/move reaction, any idea of where to look at after reboot?
 nice one, although i only have the ubuntu root partition and linux swap on my drive...will it still work
[11:28] <sethk> korba-, correct.
[11:28] <Who_> sethk: how do i sync my other disks before fscking the bad one so I don't loose data on them
[11:28] <THX-1138> Yes
[11:28] <korba-> sethk: hehe
[11:28] <sethk> korba-, that's not so bad, but if some _other_ package uses this package, then you could get pretty messed up pretty fast
[11:28] <mathieu> guerby: /var/log/syslog
[11:28] <korba-> its snmpd
 k, cool how does it get around the whole ntfs thing
[11:28] <sethk> Who_, I would boot a rescue cd or the live cd and do the fsck from there
[11:29] <sethk> Who_, in general the answer to your question is to umount the others.  that's the most complete file system termination available.
[11:29] <Who_> sethk: okie, sounds sensible. Do you think there is much hope for the data?
 or must i install xp as fat32
[11:29] <korba-> sethk: thats why i want to know where the snmpd package installed the files, so i can overwrite them with the source compilation
[11:29] <Who_> sethk:yea, that's what I've been doing - I thought I might be able to get away without unmounting
[11:29] <guerby> mathieu, thx, any idea for:

[11:29] <THX-1138> Paddy_EIRE - If you can setup ntfs write in ubuntu it uses ubuntu as a second network machine.  NAT or bridged
[11:30] <mathieu> guerby: that's normal
[11:30] <Who_> sethk: I guess I should report the crash that caused things to go wrong - can you pint me where to look in my logs?
[11:30] <THX-1138> oh NVM - VMWARE creates a disk image file you treat like a normal hard drive
 so it would be difficult to setup as ntfs, as i dont trust the linux ntfs drivers at all
[11:30] <sethk> Who_, you probably would get away with it, but why take the chance?
[11:30] <guerby> I have three eth cards, no cable on eth0, my main (internet) is eth1, I have another lan on eth2
[11:31] <sethk> Who_, _if_ there is anything to find in the logs, then do this (booted after the crash):     ls -ltr /dev/log
[11:31] <sethk> Who_, the last file listed is the file that most recently changed
[11:31] <THX-1138> Paddy_EIRE - the disk image file is formatted as you would a normal disk then you install the second guest OS
[11:31] <sethk> Who_, if there is any useful info it would be in that log.
[11:31] <guerby> mathieu, so no more info to gather?
[11:32] <sethk> Who_, if more than one have the same timestamp, then check all of them.
[11:32] <sethk> guerby, what's the problem you are having?
[11:32] <Who_> sethk: I have booted several times since, but i'll look
k, so its just like having an iso file stored in my ext3 filesystem basically?
[11:32] <THX-1138> The host machine is seen from the guest OS as a second machine on a network
[11:32] <sethk> Who_, odds are it didn't have a chance to log anything anyway.
[11:32] <THX-1138> Exactly, the same
[11:32] <Who_> sethk: looks like it
[11:32] <ISOLATEDViRuS> You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "disks-conf-hdb1".
[11:32] <guerby> sethk, sudden freeze (no mouse no keyboard) no ping from another machine, I had to reboot with the hardware button
[11:33] <ISOLATEDViRuS> help... anyone?
 so net access should not be a problem
[11:33] <Who_> sethk: would running badblocks do anything good?
[11:33] <mythril> does anyone know of a nxclient other than NoMachine's?
[11:33] <Who_> sethk: basically, do you have any idea what to do if tghe caps/num lock keys are gone and it is totally crashed?
[11:33] <sethk> guerby, ok.  and you showed those log messages in case they helped. which they didn't.  now I'm in sync.
[11:33] <sethk> Who_, it can't hurt
[11:33] <guerby> sethk, correct :)
[11:33] <sethk> Who_, again do it from a live cd or rescue cd, because it wouldn't surprise me if it also crashes the system
[11:34] <Who_> sethk: it does crash the system
[11:34] <sethk> guerby, no triggering event?
[11:34] <guerby> sethk, there are indeed plenty of eth0 DHCP before, they fail since there's no cable there
[11:34] <guerby> seth, no, I was typing an email in evolution (which nicely recovered it :)
[11:34] <Who_> sethk: but is there anyway to use the disk without reformatting?
[11:34] <pianoboy3333> What can I use to read an ext3 drive on a mac?
[11:34] <sethk> Who_, use it how?
[11:34] <sdh> pianoboy3333: ssh and a linux box, tee hee.
[11:34] <guerby> sethk,  no, I was typing an email in evolution (which nicely recovered it :)
[11:35] <sethk> Who_, you can't reformat, but even if you could, it wouldn't help.
[11:35] <Who_> sethK: some fsck options that make it be more careful, check in a different way/check kmore deeply
[11:35] <sethk> guerby, what version are you running?
[11:35] <Paddy_EIRE> brb, restart
[11:35] <sethk> guerby, did you upgrade anything recently?
[11:35] <sethk> Who_, indeed, but if a normal fsck crashes the system, so will a more intensive fsck
[11:35] <guerby> sethk, I installed 6.06 a week ago
[11:35] <pianoboy3333> sdh: .... not exactly what I need
[11:35] <THX-1138> Paddy_EIRE - Give it a try. - It is so much easier to use disk images than a disk installation of windows.   - psst someone is going to remind us soon we are in the ubuntu channel and off-topic. - shh
[11:35] <hondje> pianoboy3333: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/
[11:35] <guerby> it is up to date except for the latest kernel
[11:35] <sethk> guerby, and this is the first crash?
[11:36] <AZzKikR> THX-1138, Paddy_EIRE is rebooting .. :p
[11:36] <sethk> guerby, being up to date doesn't guarantee anything.  In fact, it adds uncertainty
[11:36] <guerby> sethk, this is the second one, one happened a few days ago during the night (during my cron tarball backup)
[11:36] <ompaul> THX-1138, why did I wake up?
[11:36] <Who_> sethk: in short - if fsck is crashing, badblocks is crashing then is there any step to try before reformatting and any way to post a bug report?
[11:36] <pianoboy3333> hondje: what will that do?
[11:36] <THX-1138> I know. - We'll wean him away from windows - you just wait.
[11:36] <guerby> sethk, before I was running SuSE 9.3 without problem
[11:37] <pianoboy3333> hondje: and it's a ex3 drive
[11:37] <sethk> guerby, v6 is a bit new for my taste.  My production boxes are still on breezy.
[11:37] <THX-1138> opaul - "Wake Up"? - carpe diem??? - grin
[11:37] <Hybernate> nice there was an easy way
[11:37] <guerby> sethk, my other 6.06 machines don't have the sudden freeze issue (they are x86_64 though, whereas the freeze one is x86)
[11:37] <guerby> sethk, this is home :)
[11:37] <ISOLATEDViRuS> GRRR
[11:37] <dk06> how do u move back and forward in W3M
[11:38] <guerby> sethk, anything to activate to get more info the next time it happens?
[11:38] <sethk> guerby, I recommend using the kernel from kernel.org, rather than the ubuntu kernel.  However, _everyone_ here will disagree with me about that (including, possibly, you.  :)  )
[11:38] <ISOLATEDViRuS> is there a command i can type to let me view the contents of a hdd in a seperate GUI window?
[11:38] <sethk> guerby, you can rebuild the kernel with more logging and more debugging, but in many cases that doesn't help.
[11:38] <hondje> It doesn't matter if it's ext3.
[11:38] <mathieu> sethk: even linus would disagree
[11:38] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, you can point any of the available file manager programs at the root of a disk.
[11:38] <guerby> sethk, ok so I'm kind of stuck. Anything special to know when compiling a kernel for ubuntu?
[11:38] <sethk> mathieu, I don't know about that.  I have fixed several machines that way.
[11:39] <compilerwriter> Hey anyone here have a an idea for a good windows SIP client and server.
[11:39] <sethk> guerby, there are some options.  I can tell you the ones that I have used that might help.
[11:39] <guerby> mathieu, BTW I don't see the changelog for the latest update using the UI update tool, is it normal?
[11:39] <ISOLATEDViRuS> sethk i just got a friend's HDD, and i hooked it into my computer. his mobo is on the fritz so i told him i'd back up the information on the HDDs he gave me, i cant access them!
[11:39] <pianoboy3333> What can I use to read an ext3 drive on a mac?
[11:39] <Who_> sethk: I'm gonna go crash my live CD - thanks very much for the help - any more ideas on what to do if fsck and badblocks continue to fail?
[11:39] <THX-1138> ompaul - sorry to have woken you didn't mean to. though i am still working out how i did.
[11:39] <sethk> mathieu, fixed one that way this afternoon, by the way.
[11:39] <sethk> Who_, this is a hardware problem.
[11:39] <dk06> whats a good command line music player
[11:39] <jbirdAngel> Hello, whats the easiest way to run ubuntu in winows
[11:40] <sethk> Who_, hard to say anything intelligent other than that.
[11:40] <kitche> ISOLATEDViRuS: if it's NTFS you need fuse or ntfs-3g
[11:40] <mathieu> sethk: you could have waited for the fix in ubuntu
[11:40] <dk06> jbirdangel: VMWARE
[11:40] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, is it from a linux box?  from a windows box?
[11:40] <hondje> Once again, pianoboy3333: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/
[11:40] <Who_> sethk: thanks - disk still in warranty :)
[11:40] <guerby> mathieu, 2.6.15-26-386
[11:40] <compilerwriter> jbirdAngel the easiest way would be with a live cd
[11:40] <pianoboy3333> hondje: will that work for ext3?
[11:40] <sethk> mathieu, this is work, I can't tolerate machines that hang or crash
[11:40] <compilerwriter> You just pop in the cd and reboot.
[11:40] <pianoboy3333> hondje: ah, I see, you posted up there
[11:40] <pianoboy3333> sorry
[11:40] <pianoboy3333> thank you
[11:40] <dk06> whats a good commandline music player, because i cant aptget mplayer
[11:40] <hondje> You're welcome
[11:40] <dk06> hank you
[11:41] <sethk> dk06, your elcome
[11:41] <hondje> dk06: mpg321 or 123
[11:41] <lupine_85> mplayer does command-line too :)
[11:41] <Who_> dk06, i used mpg123 once upon a time
[11:41] <ISOLATEDViRuS> sethk from a windows box.
[11:41] <treitter> I installed the server minimum 6.06.1 install, and X. Then I installed usplash, but it doesn't show up on boot
[11:41] <dk06> i cant apt-get install mplayer
[11:41] <ISOLATEDViRuS> i just need to copy documents and pictures to CD
[11:41] <treitter> any ideas?
[11:41] <dk06> i get this error
[11:41] <lupine_85> add the ASCII display lplugin and you can watch videos too
[11:41] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, ok, do (as root):   fdisk -l /dev/hdd
[11:41] <jbirdAngel> dk06: vmware costs money right?
[11:41] <kitche> dk06: it's in a different repo that's why
[11:41] <ISOLATEDViRuS> which will?
[11:41] <dk06>  sudo apt-get install mplayer
[11:41] <dk06> Reading package lists... Done
[11:41] <dk06> Building dependency tree... Done
[11:41] <dk06> Package mplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[11:41] <dk06> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[11:41] <dk06> is only available from another source
[11:41] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, see what the partition is (or partitions are).  should tell you whether it is FAT or NTFS
[11:41] <lupine_85> vmware is free, but not Free
[11:42] <jbirdAngel> compilerwriter: would i be able to use the development version of gimp if i run it from a livecd?
[11:42] <ISOLATEDViRuS> k sec
[11:42] <THX-1138> hondje - Is there a page with variables used by XLIB? - I just don't know the magic incantation google hasn't been much help to me
[11:42] <lupine_85> well, the workstation costs; player and server are free
[11:42] <dk06> jbirdangel: u can find VMWARE torrent
[11:42] <compilerwriter> I don't know about that.
[11:42] <eyequeue> !equivalents
[11:42] <ubotu> A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant
[11:42] <jbirdAngel> dk06: is that legal
[11:42] <dk06> im not sure whether its free or not
[11:42] <Paddy_EIRE> how do install windows now that i have vmware-player installed???...when i go to System tools in the apps menu and click it, it asks for a virtual machine to load???
[11:42] <dk06> that depends where u live
[11:42] <hondje> I don't know what XLIB is, THX-1138 :)
[11:42] <Who_> sethk: just remembered somethink perhaps relevant - pc first crashed while disk was being accessed using samba - sound reasonable?
[11:42] <AZzKikR> !pastebin > dk06
[11:43] <sethk> Who_, sounds irrelevant to me.
[11:43] <ISOLATEDViRuS> Windows NTFS
[11:43] <sethk> Who_, at that level, access is access.
[11:43] <jbirdAngel> dk06: okay thank you
[11:43] <dk06> yw
[11:43] <THX-1138> Thats okay i didn't either until this morning. - began playing with visual effects
[11:43] <dk06> so why isnt my mplayer workign
[11:43] <Who_> sethk: okay
[11:43] <dk06> how can i get it to work
[11:43] <dk06> rememeber
[11:43] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, ok, then create a directory to mount it on, say:   mkdir /mnt/ntfs.   then mount it as follows:   mount -r -t ntfs /dev/hdd1 /mnt/ntfs
[11:43] <dk06> i have nox
[11:43] <compilerwriter> lupine_85 you are here.  Thank God.
[11:43] <dk06> so i have to do this in console
[11:43] <william_> Doe ubuntu include pine?
[11:43] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, both commands as root
 how do install windows now that vmware is installed?
[11:43] <william_> Does*
[11:44] <guerby> dk06, launch system / administration  / synaptic then setting / repository then 6.06 LTS binary, click on edit and check everything
[11:44] <treitter> ah - I figured out my problem. It's a bug, and I'm about to file it :)
[11:44] <Who_> sethk: thanks and bye
[11:44] <lupine_85> compilerwriter: doubt s/he had much to do with it, but go ahead ;)
[11:44] <sethk> william_, it's available.  don't know what you mean by "include".  it's probably not part of the default list of packages to install, but that makes no difference.
[11:44] <william_> Is there a place where I can see all the precompiled software for ubuntu
[11:44] <compilerwriter> I have gotten ekiga to work.  Now i need to work on the windows client and server.
[11:44] <jbirdAngel> compilerwriter:  okay thank you
[11:44] <momo> anyone feels like holding a newbies  hand for a about 10 mins
[11:44] <william_> That is what I meant by included yah.
[11:44] <THX-1138> Paddy_EIRE - a vmware channel would be a better place to ask. -i just stumbled through until it worked.
[11:45] <cwatson> whats up momo?

[11:45] <eyequeue> william_, packages.ubuntu.com
[11:46] <momo> I have been trying to play an avi file.. but i am guessing i need to install the codec.. but i have not had any luck in doing so
[11:46] <Who_> sethk:last question, in fact
[11:46] <din> http://img133.imageshack.us/my.php?image=amorajl7.jpg
[11:46] <din> :)
[11:46] <Who_> can i make fsck anyt more verbose than it is with fsck -fv?
[11:46] <compilerwriter> Do you have any ideas for me lupine_85
[11:46] <cwatson> momo: have you followed the RestrictedFormats wiki page?
[11:46] <xevix> looking for method for system update on no-internet computer
[11:46] <ISOLATEDViRuS> sethk : mount: special device /dev/hdd1 does not exist
[11:46] <Who_> sethk:sorry, missed your name off the above Q - can fsck be more verbose than it is with fsck -fv?
[11:47] <lupine_85> compilerwriter: no idea when it comes to windows, sorry
[11:47] <cwatson> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[11:47] <compilerwriter> ok
[11:47] <momo> nope.
[11:47] <lupine_85> if you want your own server, asterisk or sipxpbx
[11:47] <lupine_85> TBH it's a complete pain to do
[11:47] <muroc> hiho zusammen :)
[11:47] <cwatson> momo: that is where I usually start
[11:48] <momo> thanks
[11:48] <william_> I didn't see pine in the text search list :(
[11:48] <cwatson> sure
[11:48] <hondje> william_: I'm not sure pine is in the repos, it has a weird license...and naturally same with pico
[11:49] <william_> I've been trying to compile it on my opensuse and it's being lame :(
[11:49] <eyequeue> william_, mutt is much better, and if you like pine, you'll find the transition easy
[11:49] <william_> mutt is a bit more complex though
[11:49] <eyequeue> william_, nano rather than pico, in the same vein
[11:50] <Kronoz> hi, how do i change the default blue earth firefox icon to the offical fox wrapped round world icon?
[11:50] <william_> I was thinking about trying mutt tho; the user guide on the site is lacking.
[11:50] <eyequeue> william_, yeah if you read the docs for mutt you'll get lost, it has "too many" features but the basics are okat
[11:50] <eyequeue> william_, lynx /usr/share/doc/mutt/ after installing it :)
[11:50] <william_> It's not too complicated I should say, there is just so much crap. :(
[11:51] <Blinker> whats the terminal command to make a directory?
[11:51] <bbrazil> mkdir
[11:51] <william_> mkdir
[11:51] <eyequeue> Kronoz, d/l the other from somewhere, then overwrite the icon file that you dislike with it
[11:51] <Blinker> thx
[11:51] <william_> I'm sure I can do it, I'm just lazy :P
[11:51] <cyphase> wow, this is great..
[11:51] <cyphase> look at the source of this site: http://www.golivetech.com.au/
[11:52] <Storkme> how do i remove a chroot?

[11:52] <sethk> Storkme, exit
[11:52] <eyequeue> william_, i look at it as, learn what you need today, then learn one new thing once a week, or whatever ;0
[11:52] <sethk> Storkme, a chroot only applies to the shell that is started when you run chroot.
[11:52] <Storkme> seth, i mean remove the setup
[11:52] <ISOLATEDViRuS> sethk : You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ntfs".
[11:52] <sethk> Storkme, don't know what you mean.
[11:53] <william_> hehe
[11:53] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, you can view them as root, or...
[11:53] <ISOLATEDViRuS> dude
[11:53] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, you can use the UID= mount option to make them readable by you
[11:53] <william_> Yeah also pine seems to have too many vulernabilities :(
[11:53] <ISOLATEDViRuS> ;_;
[11:53] <Storkme> sethk, well i have a /chroot dir and when i do df -h it lists my hdd partitions twice
[11:53] <ISOLATEDViRuS> how do i log in as the root?
[11:53] <william_> su
[11:53] <ISOLATEDViRuS> su, not sudo?
[11:53] <sethk> Storkme, that's not a mount, just a chroot
[11:53] <sethk> Storkme, umount it
[11:53] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, either way
[11:53] <ISOLATEDViRuS> -_>
[11:54] <william_> Yeah they are pretty similar
[11:54] <hondje> sudo -s
[11:54] <cwatson> ISOLATEDViRuS: sudo passwd, will allow you to login as root
[11:54] <krazykit> you don't need to log in as root.

[11:55] <lupine_85> anyone know what the git version management package is called?
[11:55] <SillyZ> try sudo passwd root ISOLATEDViRuS
[11:55] <SillyZ> then reset it
[11:55] <kitche> lupine_85: git
[11:55] <salim> I cant install anything
[11:55] <salim> nothing
[11:55] <salim> what happened
[11:55] <salim> s.b. help
[11:55] <salim> please
[11:55] <ompaul> ISOLATEDViRuS, please mind your language thanks: sudo command
[11:55] <sethk> Storkme, back to my first answer
[11:55] <ISOLATEDViRuS> sudo ******* root ?
[11:55] <kitche> IAOLATEDViRuS: use sudo
[11:55] <Agrajag> if you just want a root shell, run sudo -s
[11:55] <sethk> Storkme, exit out of the shell that did the chroot
[11:55] <SillyZ> sudo passwd root
[11:55] <SillyZ> try that ISOLATEDViRuS
[11:55] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, just start the file manager with sudo
[11:56] <ompaul> !sudo > ISOLATEDViRuS
[11:56] <cwatson> ISOLATEDViRuS: you have to run "sudo passwd" before su will work
[11:56] <sethk> SillyZ, sudo passwd  is the same as sudo passwd root
[11:56] <lupine_85> kitche: git is the "GNU interactive tools"...
[11:56] <krazykit> lupine_85: i thought it was just git
[11:56] <kitche> cwatson: you mean sudo passwd root
[11:56] <SillyZ> then use the password for your "user" which should be the same password for root
[11:56] <salim> ubuntu support sucks
[11:56] <salim> nobody is here to help me
is it not gksudo that the filemanager must be started with??
[11:56] <ISOLATEDViRuS> ok thanks.
[11:56] <kitche> lupine_85: well the thing that you want is called git as well
[11:56] <salim> and my system is going to die
[11:56] <lupine_85> this particular ubuntu support is free
[11:56] <salim> *cries*
[11:56] <mbx2112> can someone help me a half-installed .deb package? (msg me)

[11:56] <william_> it's free can't bitch :P
[11:56] <SillyZ> whats the problem salim?
[11:56] <sethk> salim, might have something to do with the fact that you haven't asked a question
[11:56] <lupine_85> buy a support contract if it's that important to you
[11:56] <Agrajag> salim: you haven't given any details or asked any actual questions
[11:57] <salim> I asked a question: can s.b. help me
[11:57] <salim> lol
[11:57] <Agrajag> all you have said is "nothing will install pelase help"
[11:57] <SillyZ> and Im from the old school so sudo passwd root ... is proper syntax
[11:57] <william_> Just ask ur question :(
[11:57] <salim> I dont know enough to ask a particular question
[11:57] <Agrajag> salim: that's not a question. Don't ask to ask.
[11:57] <SillyZ> salim: join #sillyz
[11:57] <SillyZ> ill try and help ya there
[11:57] <salim> I just know that libc6 is red in synaptic, and now I cant install anything, it says it's broken
[11:57] <salim> what can I do
[11:57] <krazykit> lupine_85: i think it's in universe
[11:57] <sethk> SillyZ, no, it isn't.  think about it for a moment.  sudo makes you run the command with the effective user id of root.  passwd, by itself with no arguments, changes the password of the effective user id
[11:58] <william_> backup reinstall!
[11:58] <mwe> sudo -i works just like su -
[11:58] <krazykit> lupine_85: i think you want cogito
[11:58] <salim> I wanted to install anjuta, and now nothing works
[11:58] <ompaul> ISOLATEDViRuS, read the page the bot threw at you I think you will find it useful cheers
[11:58] <sethk> SillyZ, the only time you use a username with passwd is to change someone _else's_ password
[11:58] <lupine_85> !cogito
[11:58] <ubotu> cogito: version control system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.16.3-1 (dapper), package size 125 kB, installed size 760 kB
[11:58] <TheGateKeeper_> salim: will it let you remove it?
[11:58] <fowlduck-> test
[11:58] <hondje> just use sudo -s .... id shows it's 'real' root, as much as one needs
[11:58] <kitche> lupine_85: cogito is an overlay of git
[11:58] <mbx2112> "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal."
[11:58] <sethk> ISOLATEDViRuS, I already told you three times two ways to solve your problem.  go do it.
[11:58] <SillyZ> sethk although previously sudo passwd, did not change the root password in older versions of sudo
[11:58] <lupine_85> thanks :)
[11:58] <sethk> SillyZ, no, not true
[11:59] <theBeno> Hey guys, what's the easiest way to install XP as a virtual machine on Ubuntu?
[11:59] <sethk> SillyZ, when the passwd program is run, it does not know it was started by sudo
[11:59] <lupine_85> vmware
[11:59] <lupine_85> ah, "git-core"
[11:59] <lupine_85> d'uj
[11:59] <sethk> SillyZ, all it knows is it's effective user id.
[11:59] <Agrajag> theBeno: vmware server
[11:59] <mwe> sudo -i is recommended over sudo -s as it sets the environment properly for root
[11:59] <theBeno> Agrajag, is it easy to install?  Is it in the repos?
[11:59] <sethk> it's so dumb to say su is bad and then tell people to do sudo -i or sudo -s
[12:00] <klausos> what do i need to install to do "./configure" command without getting errors?????
[12:00] <Agrajag> theBeno: no, it's not Free software, though it doesn't cost anything
[12:00] <hondje> throws me off
[12:00] <Agrajag> theBeno: you can download it at vmware.com, you'll need to register (also free, you can give fake info) for a key.
[12:00] <cwatson> theBeno: VMWare server and workstation both cost money
[12:00] <sethk> klausos, depends entirely on what errors you are getting
[12:00] <hondje> then again, all these different prompts throw me off too
[12:00] <Agrajag> sethk: no
[12:00] <BigToe> night internet :*
[12:00] <sethk> klausos, post your errors on the paste web site
[12:00] <Agrajag> sethk: VMWare server is free.
[12:00] <Agrajag> sethk: always has been
[12:00] <sethk> Agrajag, I didn't say anything about vmware
[12:00] <kitche> cwatson: umm vmware server doesn't cost anything should get your facts straight
[12:00] <Agrajag> sethk: GSX server was not.
[12:00] <Agrajag> oh sorry


[04:44] <nhandler> Is there any way other than adding each individual event to get the Jaunty release schedule (http://people.ubuntu.com/~vorlon/JauntyReleaseSchedule.ics) added to the Fridge calendar?
[04:50] <johnc4510> nhandler: not that i know of, but you should ask boredandblogging
[05:04] <boredandblogging> not that I can think of
[05:07] <nhandler> Does someone have access to the gcal account for the fridge. I know gcal provides a way to copy the events from one calendar onto antoher one
[05:13] <nhandler> Here is one of the many guides about merging two calendars in Google Calendar: http://tinyurl.com/yt9mms.
