[00:13] <Danskmand> (00:47:02) Danskmand: Howdy :-) - After -a-lot- of work and searching and trial-and-error I found out that the driver fcpci is part of the kernel of my 8.04 Ubuntu. So finally I got capisuite to work with fcpci....But when sending a fax, I see in capisuite.error "controller doesnt support fax-services". Is that true ? - the pre-installed driver doesnt support faxing ?

[00:13] <mib_59qm9umk> T2 transmission is goos
[00:14] <rob> T2, thats more of a personal preference, I like transmission
[00:14] <GaMbi_DK> Nigra4jus: how do I change /etc/ircd-hybrid ?
[00:14] <ubuntu_todd> any recommendation?
[00:14] <fvwmnet> woddf2: you can use modeline.http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/9959
[00:14] <Danskmand> GaMbi: Is it true ! - "DK" ?

[00:15] <riegersn> T2, rtorrent ;)
[00:15] <T2> rob: why do you prefer transmission
[00:15] <fvwmnet> woddf2: the modes can  get form gtf or get form you /var/log/xorg.log.
[00:15] <tacticalbread> T2, you may want to try Azureus. it's similar to uTorrent
[00:15] <Danskmand> Hehe - I first pasted my question and then I wrote your name :-)
[00:15] <rob> simple, and fast
[00:15] <blahblahx> dli: hey

[00:16] <malibu> This may be the wrong channel, and if anyone knows of the right channel, please tell me... But I need about 2TB of storage in a raid array..... Can anyone tell me what the point is of NAS?  It seems to me taking a beefy storage node and attching it through a puny 100 mbit pipe is silly...
[00:17] <riegersn> i installed linux-image-k7 & linux-k7 metapackages but they didn't install the kernel, am i missing something?
[00:17] <Schmitty> hello, i have a directory named -=bleh=- how do i rename it?
[00:17] <Schmitty> the '-='
[00:17] <Schmitty> seems to be confusing linux
[00:18] <blahblahx> dli: you around? i came to get more help with the xauth problem i had yesterday
[00:18] <GaMbi_DK> ircd-hybrid anyone?
[00:18] <dli> blackkatt, yes
[00:18] <amenado> Schmitty--> linux is not confused, perhaps your script is ?
[00:18] <dli> as I said, you have to troubleshoot why it messed up:(
[00:19] <GaMbi_DK> special configuration?
[00:19] <Schmitty> amenado: i can't cd -=bleh=-
[00:19] <sevenseeker> do I use dpatch-edit-patch to convert a normal patch to dpatch format?
[00:19] <dli> blahblahx, I have no idea how it messed up
[00:19] <Schmitty> amenado: im in ssh
[00:19] <dr_Willis> schiluve,  use single quotes to quote the whol ename.
[00:19] <GaMbi_DK> well, I really need to get this going
[00:19] <dr_Willis> oops Schmitty  i mean.. :) cd 'funnyname'
[00:19] <amenado> Schmitty--> try to escape the - and =  chars
[00:19] <dr_Willis> Schmitty,  or use cd --  Funnyname
[00:19] <Onyx> hi, while trying to encode with mencoder, i keep getting the warnings "skipping frame!" and "1 duplicate frame(s)".  i would like to stop whatever issue is causing these warnings to occur... basically, i want mencoder to ignore whatever is causing it to say that.
[00:19] <blahblahx> dli: okay but do you know how to fix it? because the command you gave me worked until i restarted. now im back in (i did it again) but i want to know if there is a more permanent fix.
[00:20] <dr_Willis> How to handle file names that begin with a -   is a good linux 'test' question. :)
[00:20] <woddf2> I will try that.
[00:20] <woddf2> Thanks
[00:20] <woddf2> Goodybe
[00:20] <woddf2> *Goodbye
[00:20] <FloodBot2> woddf2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:20] <GaMbi_DK> grrr
[00:20] <Schmitty> doing cd '-=bleh=-' returns this error -bash: cd: -=: invalid option
[00:20] <dli> blahblahx, you use gdm, gdm should handle xauth
[00:20] <Da61> .
[00:21] <Stargazer> Hey guys! i was watching a movie from an *.avi file about 10 minutes ago. for some reason Totem is "uninterruptible" and it's taking 50% of my cpu(1 whole core). any ideas ?
[00:21] <blahblahx> dli: yeah, so...
[00:21] <blahblahx> dli: im sorry, i just dont get what you mean
[00:21] <dli> blahblahx, how gdm messed up. many reasons. hard to troubleshoot, but we can try step by step
[00:21] <Schmitty> amenado: what do you mean by escape the charaters
[00:21] <blahblahx> dli: i would love to try that if you had the time.
[00:22] <amenado> Schmitty--> use of \  to escape
[00:22] <dr_Willis> Schmitty,  try the -- way then...    cd -- -=blea=-
[00:22] <dli> blahblahx, try to check whether you have any error message in /var/log/gdm/
[00:22] <dli> blahblahx, for the time being, the same command should fix xauth, try it again
[00:22] <dr_Willis> Schmitty,  or try both    cd -- '-=blea=-'
[00:23] <blahblahx> dli: oh yeah i already did it again, so im fine for this session
[00:23] <dli> blahblahx, "sudo ps fx|grep X" to find X command line, find xauth cookie file
[00:23] <blahblahx> dli: wait let me check the gdm errors first.
[00:23] <rob> help, while id like my dust theme to look like this http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/90254-1.jpg, the I keep getting this result; http://i37.tinypic.com/20s6783.png Can someone help?
[00:23] <dli> blahblahx, I misunderstood, I thought the fix failed
[00:23] <Stargazer> How do i stop an uninterruptible process that's taking 50% CPU ?
[00:23] <blahblahx> dli: oh no it worked
[00:23] <x-ip> Stargazer: kill it ?
[00:23] <Schmitty> mv worked with the -- option dr_Willis
[00:23] <rob> stargazer press alt+f2 and type "xkill"
[00:23] <blahblahx> dli: so knowing that, what should i do know?
[00:23] <Stargazer> X-ip, i tried, nothing.
[00:23] <x-ip> ou out ... uninterruptible ...
[00:23] <Schmitty> dr_Willis: so what does -- do?
[00:23] <x-ip> thats a problem
[00:24] <dr_Willis> Schmitty,  now for Bonus points explain why... :)
[00:24] <x-ip> how do u know the process took that state Stargazer  ?
[00:24] <riegersn> anyone? please.. i installed linux-image-k7 & linux-k7 metapackages but they didn't install the kernel, am i missing something?
[00:24] <geenome> I recently switched to Linux and found I cannot play my 1200+ songs all of which are encoded in mp3 is there a program I can use to convert these to ogg?
[00:24] <dli> blahblahx, gdm first
[00:24] <Stargazer> X-ip, from gnome-system-monitor.
[00:24] <sevenseeker> does anyone here have packaging experience, specifically using dpatch?
[00:24] <dr_Willis> Schmitty,  anything 'after' a --  - does NOT get parsed by the shell. it gets passed straight to the program. I belive is how ive seen it explained
[00:24] <dli> maybe, gdm complained
[00:24] <amenado> Schmitty--> a hint for you would be to look into  getopt and getopts
[00:24] <blahblahx> dli: you mean the gdm logs?
[00:24] <dli> blahblahx, yes
[00:24] <T2> Hi, i keep getting an NAT error when i put the incoming TCP listen port in the azureus configuration screen
[00:24] <lordnoid> what package is gdk-x11-2.0.pc in?
[00:24] <orkid> any of u have wildly oscillating link/signal quality, specifically on an rtl8185 ? the two devices around about 6 ft apart
[00:25] <Stargazer> Erm.. rob, Totem has been closed for a few minutes now. any other ideas ?
[00:25] <orkid> perhaps turning down the power would help ?
[00:25] <Schmitty> dr_Willis: thankyou
[00:25] <blahblahx> dli: because there are four files in that folder, :0.log, :0.log.1, and continuing until 3
[00:25] <Schmitty> amenado: will do
[00:25] <WinfieldMike> #robomo
[00:25] <x-ip> Stargazer: hmm ... if u send the process a 9 signal kill ?
[00:25] <dli> blahblahx, ls -l
[00:25] <dli> blahblahx, of course, the newest
[00:25] <geenome> how can I convert a mass amount of MP3 to OGG?
[00:25] <Stargazer> X-ip: wtf?
[00:25] <tiggers> does anyone know about ACPI and hibernate on an Ubuntu laptop?
[00:25] <blahblahx> dli: so i do ls -l /var/log/gdm/:0.log.3 ?
[00:25] <|Angelic|_> geenome: I think rythmbox can do that
[00:25] <rob> stargazer, nope. sorry, are you able to help me with my problem?
[00:26] <x-ip> Stargazer: somethink like kill -9 pid_process as root
[00:26] <blahblahx> geenome: you know, unless you are against it, you can just install codecs to play mp3 in linux
[00:26] <blahblahx> geenome: you dont have to convert everything
[00:26] <CyberBird> Stargazer: killp totem
[00:26] <CyberBird> or killd totem
[00:26] <geenome> not against it but I have wanted to do everything to ogg for a while
[00:27] <amenado> blahblahx--> to find out your current X screen  type   xdpyinfo  and find display name
[00:27] <geenome> just want to know if there is some command I can type before I leave for work then come back to a complete library of OGG
[00:27] <CyberBird> one of them must be correct
[00:27] <blahblahx> amenado: what?
[00:27] <dli> blahblahx, try a n00b way, "dpkg --purge gdm && apt-get install gdm". maybe, it fixes, then, you don't have to know what went wrong
[00:27]  * x-ip doesnt have killp and killd :,(
[00:27] <riegersn> is there anyone who can help me install the k7 kernel?
[00:27] <T2> hi, how do i find an open port for Azureus as i jkeep getting a NAT error
[00:28] <dli> blahblahx, or, rm the ~/.Xauthority file, and regenerate it
[00:28] <amenado> blahblahx--> if you dont know which X screen you are on, assuming you have a few, xdpyinfo will tell you which one you are looking at right now
[00:28] <Scunizi> FYI.. Anyone think they clear their cookies using the Browser "clear cookie function"?  It doesn't delete flash cookies.. you have to go here to do that .. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html
[00:28] <x-ip> T2: open ports, or better said, listening ports as root netstat -ntpl
[00:28] <blahblahx> dli: ill try the xauthority file first
[00:28] <x-ip> nat error ? which one ?
[00:28] <blahblahx> dli: but how do i regenerate it?
[00:28] <CyberBird> shit, bot are invalid
[00:28] <Craighney> does $ stand for sudo?
[00:28] <CyberBird> no
[00:29] <CyberBird> for simple user
[00:29] <x-ip> whoami ?
[00:29] <dli> blahblahx, run the same command
[00:29]  * x-ip wants pizza and beer ...
[00:29] <blahblahx> dli: oh that earlier command?
[00:29]  * x-ip write code for pizza and beer
[00:29] <blahblahx> dli: that let me login before?
[00:29] <lordnoid> whats package is gdk-x11-2.0 in?
[00:29] <katdog> anyone know if ubuntu has support for 82845g chipset?
[00:30] <dli> blahblahx, xauth -f /path/to/cookie nlist|xauth -f ~/.Xauthority nmerge -

[00:31] <CyberBird> $ for simple user, # for root
[00:31] <x-ip> export PS1='\u > '
[00:31] <x-ip> for example, my shell prompt is 'myusername' >
[00:31] <x-ip> with and '>' at the end
[00:32] <blahblahx> dli: uh rming the file and doing that gave me the error xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "(stdin)"

[00:44] <dli> blahblahx, try to enable debug in custom.conf, it's either in /etc/gdm/ or /etc/X11/gdm/
[00:44] <woddf2> x-ip: It does not work in the command line.
[00:45] <x-ip> woddf2: install gpm
[00:45] <Happy> x-ip: can i simply update the menu.lst : 19 > 21 ?
[00:45] <woddf2> kdm-kde4 refuses to start.
[00:45] <x-ip> Happy: nop, u cant simply do that
[00:45] <x-ip> chech the modification dates at /boot
[00:45] <x-ip> if all goes right, u have to have a new vmlinuz or kernel image
[00:46] <x-ip> recently added
[00:46] <misteralexander> I formatted a my second internal drive 'sdb1' using Gparted, but I can't write to it!  How do I change the permissions of a whole drive?
[00:46] <x-ip> Happy: simply copy the format from the other entries in menu.lst
[00:46] <x-ip> but point it to the new (if exists) kernel image at /boot
[00:46] <blahblahx> dli: uh hold on ill be right back, but there is no custom.conf in either folder. maybe a subfolder of one of them?

[00:46] <gnufs> hello all
[00:46] <gnufs> i'm using a dell inspiron 1420n laptop with intel GM965
[00:46] <gnufs> I am having problem setting an external monitor(1280x1024) as the extension of the laptop screen(1440x900)
[00:46] <gnufs> The Preferences>Screen Resolution detects the monitor correctly but forcibly places the screen on top of eachothert and decreases laptop screen's resolution to 1024x768
[00:47] <FloodBot2> gnufs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:47] <dli> blahblahx, under the section [Debug], add a line: Enable=true
[00:47]  * x-ip now has another beer, can keep helping ...
[00:47]  * x-ip helps for a beer and snacks!
[00:48] <dli> blahblahx, my wild guess, you probably messed up with group setting, try " groups $(whoami)"
[00:48] <misteralexander> x-ip:  I've got beer and snacks . . . I formatted a my second internal drive 'sdb1' using Gparted, but I can't write to it!  How do I change the permissions of a whole drive?
[00:49] <x-ip> misteralexander: read man fstab or look up at googl how to set the values to fstab to write on it
[00:49] <Happy> x-ip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58103/
[00:49] <x-ip> i dont remember the values, but i would do that if i need that misteralexander
[00:49] <Happy> x-ip: i updated to 21 (three entries)
[00:50]  * x-ip checking Happy
[00:50] <misteralexander> x-ip:  Okay, so the answer lie within figuring out fstab . . . got it, THANKS!
[00:50] <GT> So, say I have some software I use regularly, but need to compile to install, and the I upgrade my kernel. ShouldI, after upgrading this kernel, recompile and reinstall that software?

[00:53] <clayg> lets pretend someone renamed a song to kfh389r3948ru.mp3.  is there any program that can "guess" what the name of the song is and rename the file name?
[00:54] <Happy> x-ip: ? i m sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst . what do u mean ?
[00:54] <x-ip> Happy: when u edit that file u must update grub, run as root grub-update
[00:54] <x-ip> otherwise ur change will not have effect
[00:54] <blahblahx> clayg: i dont think so, but search musicbrainz on google. it is a service to guess a song by a sample of it, and there are programs that utilize it for many different platforms
[00:55] <Happy> x-ip: how to update ? in terminal? what's the command ?
[00:55] <clayg> blahblahx, hmm that sounds interesting; thanks
[00:55] <x-ip> Happy: yeah! the fucking lovly shell! not all is X men !

[00:55] <blahblahx> dli: what do you mean?
[00:56] <x-ip> Happy: try to restart, u will not see ur new entries ;)
[00:56] <x-ip> thats why u must update ur grub with grub-update
[00:56] <sangcXL3> 0nyx, force instllation will help
[00:56] <Happy> x-ip: i do not know howto do with grub-update
[00:56] <dli> blahblahx, you checkout groups for root:( I want you to check for the login user

[00:57] <onthefence928> so i ofically hate eclipse what's a better IDE
[00:57] <dli> blahblahx, try to add it to the users group: gpasswd -a olpc users

[00:58] <Phantal--> Is there a ... protocol implementation for TCP/IP that is specifically designed to handle noisy connections
[00:58] <Happy> x-ip: sudo: grub-update: command not found :(
[00:58] <Phantal--> Or a way to tweak the existing implementation (with settings) to accomodate a noisy connection
[00:58] <x-ip> Phantal--: what do u mean by 'noisy connections' ?
[00:58] <max07> PART quizpl

[00:59] <x-ip> seems i cant understand ur problem Phantal--
[00:59] <Phantal--> x-ip, i mean the tcp/ip implementation used by my OS
[00:59] <x-ip> Phantal--: which is ur OS ?
[01:00] <x-ip> if u use gnu/linux u should be using 4.3 bsd tcp / ip stack immplementation

[01:09] <wall-e> the cd is linux kernal supported
[01:09] <wall-e> so how do i install?
[01:09] <WelshDragon> Dreamglider, Lower number = Higher priority
[01:09] <Dreamglider> thanks
[01:09] <thiebaude> wall-e:a live cd?
[01:09] <wall-e> no
[01:09] <wall-e> i already have linux installed
[01:09] <wall-e> i have ubuntu 8.04
[01:10] <juakin> hello i need help on how to test a two-way multipath route to see if it works...i've found nothing on the web i swear
[01:10] <thiebaude> wall-e:what are you trying to install?
[01:10] <wall-e> i am trying to install a usb ethernet
[01:10] <wall-e> itts called
[01:10] <wall-e> smc 10/100 mbps ethernet adapter
[01:10] <wall-e> there is an installation cd that comes with it
[01:10] <blahblahx> dli: is it just apt-get purge gdm && apt-get install gdm ?
[01:10] <wall-e> and i read the manual
[01:10] <wall-e> and it supports linux kernal
[01:10] <blak> how might i download the packages for gnome network manager but not install it... say have the package for installing when i'm offline
[01:10] <redwhitewaldo> can you ssh into a computer that is powered off?
[01:10] <wall-e> and i put the cd in and i want to run the .exe file
[01:10] <Perezz> xomp i use ndiswrapper for my laptop but my situation is that the internet went down, after it came back up the wifi isnt being picked up on the laptop
[01:10] <greedyb> Anyone know why I get this when using dvdrip? STDIN player command: xine not found : NOT Ok
[01:10] <wall-e> but nothing happened
[01:11] <alarm> hello, i wanted to ask if the nvidia drivers are the same in linux as they are under windows too. meaning if i need different drivers for my laptop for linux, or i can download the latest provided from the nvidias webpage (for linux)
[01:11] <thiebaude> wall-e:install it from the ubuntu desktop
[01:11] <maco> alarm: ubuntu will include drivers
[01:11] <Perezz> xomp i use ndiswrapper for my laptop but my situation is that the internet went down, after it came back up the wifi isnt being picked up on the laptop
[01:11] <alarm> maco that wasnt my question :)
[01:11] <WelshDragon> blahblahx, not sure what your problem is but it's --purge
[01:11] <maco> alarm: they should be up to date enough, but if they aren't, then nvidia.com does have linux ones...but you need to reinstall them after each kernel update
[01:11] <alarm> i talk about a nvidias binary
[01:11] <wall-e> thiebaude i did, but nothing happened
[01:12] <xomp> Perezz, have ye tried to reboot since the network went down?
[01:12] <maco> alarm: yes, the driver ubuntu has is the same as nvidia's binary
[01:12] <bobertdos> I need to purge my printer queue. I've power cycled the printer several times and I've even wiped the entire spool directory in cups. other suggestions?
[01:12] <wall-e> it wont autorun theibaude
[01:12] <Perezz> xomp yes a bunch of times
[01:12] <wall-e> thiebaude, it wont autorun
[01:12] <maco> alarm: it's just that itll automatically install a binary compiled against the new kernel when you get a kernel update so you dont have to
[01:12] <alarm> maco thats not a problem, reinstalling them. i figured out today that for my laptop i need other drivers than the ones from the website (from my laptop manufacturer) as they are different
[01:12] <thiebaude> wall-e:.exe is a windows command
[01:12] <alarm> thats why i am asking if the drivers for a laptops vga work in the same way under linux
[01:13] <wall-e> but i read the manual that it says it supports linux kernal v2.4 or later
[01:13] <wall-e> how can i run it?
[01:13] <Uplink> lol @ wall-e
[01:13] <R0b0t1> Is anyone else here using one of the newer iMacs?
[01:13] <xomp> Perezz, hmm, have you tried resetting your modem/router? My wifi tends to get a little crazy during say, a power outage or blip in the connection during outages and usually a quick reset of both modem and router clears it up.
[01:13] <R0b0t1> It says I can now use a proper Wireless card, so I'm assuming it'll work?
[01:13]  * R0b0t1 is happeh.
[01:14] <thiebaude> wall-e:right click on network connection
[01:14] <Perezz> xomp did that as well :/
[01:14] <maco> alarm: yes, the nvidia.com ones should work
[01:14] <blak> is there anyway to download packages through synaptic package manager in ubuntu to install later while you are offline... say i want to install it later when i won't have internet?
[01:14] <|Angelic|_> wall-e: they should include linux drivers, or check their website if you can download it
[01:14] <lirit> how can i map the windows key to control key without xmodmap?
[01:14] <xomp> Perezz, sorry :( I'm all out of ideas lol, wireless in linux is like 2 boys dancing, it just ain't right :(
[01:14] <wall-e> |angelic|_ the problem is i cannot get a working network connection
[01:15] <redwhitewaldo>  can you ssh into a computer that is powered off?
[01:15] <alarm> okie, thank maco
[01:15] <bastid_raZor> redwhitewaldo; what do you think?
[01:15] <redwhitewaldo> bastid_raZor: no
[01:15] <Perezz> xomp it happed after the new update
[01:15] <juakin> need help testing a two-way multipath route
[01:15] <thiebaude> wall-e:was that wired or wireless
[01:16] <xomp> Perezz, what model wifi you use?

[01:17] <Perezz> xomp its this intel wifi link 5100, i use ndiswrapper
[01:17] <bobbob1016> I have a question, it isn't directly an ubuntu question, but my machine won't let me press F12 or whichever at boot.  I know the keyboard works, and I plugged it directly in to a known working port.  On a different machine now with the same keyboard, any ideas?
[01:17] <ubuntu_todd> what's the command option so than I can see each step of the execution of it?
[01:17] <bobbob1016> Or if someone could point me to the correct channel to ask for help with this.
[01:17] <xomp> Perezz, I've always heard Intel are THE KINGS O LINUX SUPPORT as far as drivers in linux go. You sure there's no native drivers for it so you can dump NDISWrapper?
[01:18] <maco> Perezz: 5100? that exists?
[01:18] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: of what exactly?
[01:18] <Perezz> xomp https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel%20WiFi%20Link%205100
[01:18] <maco> the newest is 4965

[01:18] <ubuntu_todd> excatly
[01:18] <Perezz> i purchased a lenovo t400 last month
[01:19] <xomp> Perezz, ouch :( looks like I was misinformed back when I was having wifi issues and everyone was "Oh! Buy and Intel card, they're super supported in Ubuntu!" lol
[01:19] <Pavlz> wow
[01:19] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I remember I read it somewhere, but I forgot the details

[01:19] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: umm, strace
[01:19] <Perezz> i just booted up in a different kernel
[01:19] <blak> is there anyway to download packages through synaptic package manager in ubuntu to install later while you are offline... say i want to install it later when i won't have internet?

[01:19] <xomp> lol
[01:19] <jrib> !offline | blak
[01:20] <xomp> Perezz, welkommen to linux! :)
[01:20] <Perezz> i botted from of the older kernel packages
[01:20] <Perezz> ive been a linux user for a while

[01:20] <jabagawee> how do you change a truecrypt archive's filesystem (from default fat32 to ext3)?
[01:21] <blahblahx> dli: purge gdm didnt work
[01:21] <albuntu> jabagawee: you can use gparted to edit partitions
[01:22] <albuntu> !partition | jabagawee
[01:22] <blak> jrib: but i want to pre download the packages on this computer for installing later when i don't have internet.. i am trying to swtich between wicd and network manager
[01:22] <clayg> blahblahx, do you use musicbrainz
[01:22] <jabagawee> albuntu, will this work on a truecrypt archive though?
[01:22] <Pavlz> remove ubuntu and you don't have any problem Perezz
[01:22] <blahblahx> clayg: uh on my mac
[01:23] <blahblahx> dli: i did it, but it didnt help
[01:23] <balz> I'm trying to set up an FTP server that only allows users with accounts on the server to log in, and only allows them access to a specific directory (and subdirs) ... so far this has been a complete nightmare.  Can anybody help me out?  I'm starting from scratch for the 3rd time
[01:23] <Pavlz> install a free software distribution such as debian, ututo, blag Perezz
[01:24] <grim76> balz: use vsftpd with the proper arguments.
[01:24] <jabagawee> anyone have a sure-fire idea to change filesystems in a _truecrypt archive_?
[01:24] <balz> grim76:  yeah i've been using proftpd... seems to be the more complex option.  Do you know what the proper arguments are?
[01:25] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I have one fortran program. I can compile it but when I run the executable file .out there are some errors which saying float something which I don't understand
[01:25] <grim76> balz man page tells you all the arguments you need.  It is very well documented.
[01:25] <GasFurnace______> when is intrepid coming out?
[01:25] <Pavlz> and gNewSense, GNU/HURD, GNU/KFreeBSD and GNU/NetBSD, GNU/Step, GNU/Darwin Perezz and you solved your problems
[01:25] <balz> grim76:  okay i'll check it out. thanks for the tip!  i just found the page on ubuntu help as well
[01:25] <Uplink> i just updated my kernel and its asking me what should i do with menu.lst ?
[01:26] <grim76> balz: if you have any questions I will be around.
[01:26] <Pavlz> ubuntu is full of problems
[01:26] <balz> grim76:  i no doubt will.  Thanks much!
[01:26] <blak> jrib: but i want to pre download the packages on this computer for installing later when i don't have internet.. i am trying to swtich between wicd and network manager
[01:26] <albuntu> Uplink: you can overwrite it because i think you can edit it any time later if you want
[01:26] <jrib> blak: so after you generate the download script, download it
[01:26] <jrib> s/it/them
[01:27] <blak> ah ok thanks jrb
[01:27] <Uplink> albuntu: i have xp on this pc too
[01:27] <Pavlz> for example is not possible to see a dvd with totem and to choose which language we prefeer
[01:27] <albuntu> Uplink: that isnt a problem. if xp doesnt show up after overwrite you can add it later
[01:27] <corndog1> to use ssh do i need to install it????
[01:27] <jrib> blak: make sure you just copy to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and then use APT or synaptic normally.  And make sure you are not mixing ubuntu versions
[01:27] <OilFurnace______> when is Intrepid RC being released?
[01:27] <albuntu> !ssh | corndog1
[01:27] <danbh_intrepid> Pavlz: while I agree there are annoying problems, the place to vent is #ubuntu-offtopic    This channel is too busy for anything but support
[01:28] <Uplink> albuntu: so i "install the package maintainer's version" or "keep the local installed"
[01:28] <Pavlz> there is not a package to unmount dvd and remove all the parts of a dvd that don't interest us
[01:28] <blak> jrib: how do i know if i am mixing ubuntu versions
[01:28] <naknomik> How do I install the new adobe flash player v10?
[01:28] <danbh_intrepid> Uplink: have you made any changes to menu.lst?
[01:28] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: so your question is how to debug a fortran program.  You need to ask #fortran maybe
[01:28] <albuntu> Uplink: install package maintainers version , and after that if you have any problem come here and will fix it.
[01:28] <fenerli7> naknomik: adobe site
[01:28] <naknomik> I'm running 8.04, on 64bit
[01:28] <fenerli7> naknomik: lol, good luck then
[01:28] <jrib> blak: I mean just make sure both are hardy, or both are gutsy, etc.
[01:29] <Uplink> albuntu: kk thanx
[01:29] <jrib> naknomik: they provide a deb
[01:29] <Uplink> danbh_intrepid: yea i have edited it.... i have xp on this pc
[01:29] <fenerli7> jrib: for 64 bit?
[01:29] <naknomik> fenerli7: I downloaded the package, but it says it wrong architecture.
[01:29] <wng-> is there an easy way to undo the kernel update earlier? It broke my wireless and fglrx
[01:29] <jrib> fenerli7: good point
[01:29] <jrib> naknomik: just use hardy-backports then
[01:29] <jrib> naknomik: or check if it's there first
[01:29] <fenerli7> naknomik: java and flash are a bitch when you use 64 bit unfortunately
[01:29] <Pavlz> do a backup and mount GNU/linux Debian
[01:30] <danbh_intrepid> Uplink: well, maybe you should make a backup copy first, real quick.  I think the reason its asking if you want to replace is because it can detect that you manually edited it.   Make the backup copy to save your edits
[01:30] <blak> jrib: thanks
[01:30] <jrib> naknomik: sorry, doesn't seem to have hit -backports yet.  So you have two options.  1) the easier, safer option: wait for it to hit -backports.  2) The harder option: download the tar.gz and use nsplugwrapper yourself
[01:30] <Uplink> danbh_intrepid: aahh too late lol
[01:30] <balz> grim76:  when i'm done configuring, can I pastebin my conf file and have you give it a quick look-over?
[01:31] <linkmaster03> What does the lock in the corner of a file mean in Nautiulus?
[01:31] <linkmaster03> Nautilus
[01:31] <fenerli7> I'm trying to upgrade to Intrepid but my /boot partition is about 10MB short (50MB total), what should I delete in /boot and how do I? I'm sure it's just a matter of clearing the old kernel versions, right?
[01:31] <endy_c> under hardy heron my ps2 mouse is not detected, what should I do?
[01:31] <fenerli7> linkmaster03: you don't have permissions for that file
[01:31] <grim76>  balz: sure I will look at it.
[01:31] <balz> thanks
[01:32] <linkmaster03> fenerli7: how do I change that
[01:32] <jrib> fenerli7: linux-image-* is old kernel versions.  Keep the latest one at least of course
[01:32] <fenerli7> linkmaster03: do you think you are supposed to have permissions for that file/directory?
[01:32] <linkmaster03> fenerli7: it's on my user desktop
[01:32] <fenerli7> jrib: just a straight forward delete is okay?
[01:32] <jrib> fenerli7: it's a package.  Use a package manager
[01:33] <dli_> blahblahx, you have to do gdm debug then :(
[01:33] <balz> grim76:  I'm a bit confused.  by default anybody can download off of the ftp server, but only users with accounts on the server can upload?
[01:33] <blahblahx> dli_: will you be here in an hour? i have to do some work now
[01:33] <blahblahx> dli_: if not, ill see you tomorrow
[01:33] <niall> hi
[01:33] <grim76> balz: That would be correct that is why you have to change the conf file to match what you need.
[01:33] <fenerli7> linkmaster03: from a terminal, sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername/Desktop/filewithlock
[01:34] <dli_> blahblahx, no, I will be gone, sorry
[01:34] <dli_> blahblahx, I have a work around
[01:34] <linkmaster03> fenerli7: thanks
[01:34] <balz> grim76:  okay. i just wasn't clear on what the default entailed...
[01:34] <dli_> blahblahx, you use "startx" to start session, /etc/rc.local
[01:34] <fenerli7> jrib: duh, that sure was a stupid moment, thanks for pointing that out
[01:34] <blahblahx> dli_: wait how do i prevent gdm from starting?
[01:34] <grim76> balz: That is why you start with the defaults and then change them to suit your needs.
[01:35] <dli_> blahblahx, update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[01:35] <sethric> hey
[01:35] <tritium> blahblahx: dli_ is correct.  See this for more info: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start
[01:36] <dli_> blahblahx, to startx by default, add one line in /etc/rc.local: /bin/su olpc -l -c "cd /home/dli;startx"
[01:36] <blahblahx> dli_: wait cant i use your other workaround?
[01:37] <blahblahx> dli_: that xauth command?
[01:37] <lucian> Hi! I am trying to set-up dual-view on my 1080p hdtv (hi-res) and a normal 17" monitor, nvidia-settings isn't working properly. Here is a copy of my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/58112/
[01:37] <dli_> blahblahx,  /bin/su olpc -l -c "cd /home/olpc;startx"
[01:37] <blak> jrib: how do i make sure after using the generation script it is in  /var/cache/apt/archives/
[01:37] <dli_> blahblahx, two parts, xauth nlist and xauth nmerge
[01:38] <blahblahx> dli_: right can i do that other two part command as my workaround for now?
[01:38] <balz> grim76:  chroot-ing a user means he will only have access to his home directory, correct?
[01:38] <dli_> blahblahx, no, I think the workaround would be startx, without using gdm
[01:38] <blahblahx> dli_: even though the other command works?
[01:39] <grim76> balz: depends on your other settings.  You can setup a dedicated root and then chroot people in there.  The options are all in the man page.
[01:39] <dli_> blahblahx, no, you need Xserver be up to use the command
[01:39] <dli_> blahblahx, I feel you can get rid of gdm issue, just use startx, I don't use gdm
[01:39] <blahblahx> well i used it from the terminal after i failed to login from gdm last time
[01:39] <blahblahx> dli_: yeah but i want to use it
[01:40] <blahblahx> dli_: the session changing is the best for me
[01:40] <dli_> blahblahx, you can easily change ~/.xinitrc
[01:40] <grim76> balz: Read through the man page and pick the options that you need.  Add them or change them, and then move from there.
[01:41] <zigzags> anyone know how i can view the index of a website? like showing its pages and folder hierarchy
[01:41] <blahblahx> dli_: i think im actually going to reinstall tomorrow (i havent changed anything in the original install that i want to keep)
[01:41] <Jinzhu> konqueror?
[01:41] <blak> What exactly is  /var/cache/apt/archives/  for?
[01:41] <dli_> blahblahx, then, just do it. hard to guess
[01:41] <basti> when i define an alias, can i reload the config and use the defined alias without having to logout/login? if yes, how?
[01:42] <blahblahx> dli_: yeah its hard to solve the problem, and i wont lose anything
[01:42] <blahblahx> dli_: well see ya later
[01:43] <IRONHIDE> can i run ubuntu whith a pentium 3 procesor 512 mb of ram and 40gb with no problems
[01:44] <jrib> blahblahx: umm, you download a bunch of debs on one machine right?  Then when you copy them to the other machine, you put them in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[01:44] <linkmaster03> How do I give my user access to usbfs?
[01:44] <jrib> blak: umm, you download a bunch of debs on one machine right?  Then when you copy them to the other machine, you put them in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[01:44] <jrib> blahblahx: sorry
[01:44] <tnnc> does anyone know if there is a channel for ?'s about everydns
[01:44] <blak> jrib: oh ok i got it... so do wget ... put the packages into that folder and synaptics wont have  to d/l them they will already be there
[01:44] <dli_> IRONHIDE, no problem
[01:44] <blak> jrib: do i have that correct?
[01:45] <IRONHIDE> can i be able of using the cube and all the interesting applications
[01:45] <dli_> IRONHIDE, probably, video card too old
[01:46] <IRONHIDE> thats what i thought
[01:46] <jrib> blak: yeah
[01:46] <baudthief> Argh. Yesterday I was meant to copy some files from my laptop to my flashdisk, so I can continue working off another machine, but I accidentally overwrote the files on my laptop with older files from my flashdisk... I'm boned right? or is there a way to restore newer files?
[01:46] <blak> Did they just update linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic and linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21 generic?... and cupsys and libdbus-1-3?
[01:46] <IRONHIDE> cause i am having problems
[01:46] <crimsun> blak: the former two are simply moves from -proposed to -updates
[01:46] <IRONHIDE> compiz wont work
[01:47] <jrib> blak: yeah
[01:47] <crimsun> blak: I.e., they completed (passed) the testing round
[01:47] <darkhamm> can i do a downgrade of my intrepid, to hardy , with something like "upgrade-manager -d"
[01:47] <darkhamm> ?
[01:47] <jrib> darkhamm: no
[01:47] <IRONHIDE> and with glx either
[01:47] <blak> jrib:  thanks a ton i got it doone... what i am doing is doing it on the same computer.. just i want to install network manager .. go bacak and forth between them... but during using wicd i wont have internet connectivty to d/l network manager so it would hav eto be previously downloaded.. thats what i am trying to do.. and i think it should work fine now thaks to your help
[01:48] <danbh_intrepid> darkhamm: you cant
[01:48] <jrib> blak: I'd check out apt-zip for what you are doing.  It was intended for this sort of thing
[01:48] <IRONHIDE> any one knows if is a linux group in orlando
[01:48] <blak> crimsun: so these 22 updates i have available including those and linux-generic etc. are all legit and normal?
[01:48] <danbh_intrepid> darkhamm: you just have to do a clean install if you really want to downgrade
[01:48] <jrib> !loco > IRONHIDE
[01:49] <Geoffrey2> could someone help me get my laptop to once again connect to my wireless router?  As for what's wrong, I detailed the problem here, if anyone would care to take a look.... http://pastebin.com/maa708c7
[01:49] <blak> I just felt 22 updates seemed lik ea lot and i know the linux headers and image etc. is ver important.. didnt want to have some error in my update lists or something... seemed like i just downloaded those when i installed ubuntu recently
[01:49] <crimsun> blak: yes.
[01:49] <blak> crimsun: and jrib: thanks so much
[01:50] <Dreamglider> what's a good program for mounting iso files ?
[01:50] <darkhamm> danbh_intrepid: thanx, i haven't hard problems with intrepid beta, i can't load properly gnome without freeze after GDM
[01:51] <IRONHIDE> #ubuntu-us-fl
[01:51] <darkhamm> danbh_intrepid: and i can only use recovery gnome, or kde
[01:51] <tnnc> does anyone know if there is a channel for ?'s about everydns
[01:51] <blak> is it going to be chaos when Intrepid is officially released, or is it pretty much working great for people by now?
[01:53] <danbh_intrepid> darkhamm: well, you should bring discussion of intrepid to #ubuntu+1
[01:53] <blak> So this linux-restricted-modules update of 18.6 MB .. why is there so much extra being added exactly? seems like a lot
[01:54] <zblach> hallo.
[01:54] <danbh_intrepid> blak: its not being added, its being reinstalled
[01:54] <zblach> !dmraid
[01:54] <zblach> !fake raid
[01:54] <zblach> !wiki raid
[01:54] <zblach> gah
[01:55] <danbh_intrepid> zblach: please use pms to ubottu
[01:55] <blak> danbh_intrepid: ah ok, so if it has installed in package manager it is meaning reinstalled with minor chnages making it proper... and then the updates are also uninstalling and getting replaced with their minor chnages?
[01:56] <IRONHIDE> nobody answers me in the florida room
[01:56] <danbh_intrepid> blak: yeah, its not like windows, where only the changes are downloaded yet.  In the linux world, things just get reinstalled.  There are hopes that that changes one day...  but so far, no one has implemented that
[01:57] <IRONHIDE> somebody from orlando florida here
[01:57] <blak> ahhh i see
[01:57] <xomp> any desktop recording apps out there for ubuntu that don't suck? (eg. gtk-recordmydesktop)?
[01:57] <DINK_> If I have formated over a fat32 partition (but didn't write any new data to the drive.) what's my best method for recovering the data?
[01:57] <blak> danbh_intrepid: thanks so much for that info, i was really confused by that... so everything is always uninstalld and fresh new install of updated files or it is just installed first time with latest
[01:58] <Bladesman> Hello.  Anyone ever get exim4 to work with gmail?
[01:58] <blak> Is this change to menu.lst necessary.. or can i keep my old one? btw
[01:58] <danbh_intrepid> blak: I dont follow
[01:58] <b_> newbie here
[01:59] <blak> these updates... brought a window up asking me if i wanted to keep my old version of menu.lst or update to the new one or compare them
[01:59] <jrib> IRONHIDE: this channel is dedicated for support.  The loco channels are usually not as active as this one.  Be patient there and try their mailing list.  You can also use #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:59] <AllNewToMe> How do I know if I have a firewall running on Ubuntu Hardy? Thanks
[01:59] <IRONHIDE> ok my bad
[01:59] <jrib> AllNewToMe: you have one by default with no rules defined.
[01:59] <danbh_intrepid> blak: have you ever edited menu.lst manually?  If so, I would back it up before having it replaced
[01:59] <DINK_> If I have formated over a fat32 partition (but didn't write any new data to the drive.) what's my best method for recovering the data?
[01:59] <Bladesman> AllNewToMe: iptables -L
[02:00] <blak> yes i have edited it
[02:00] <blak> Ok I will back it up
[02:00] <amenado> AllNewToMe--> sudo iptables -vL  .. unless you have rules, the default is no rules
[02:00] <tnnc>  can someone help with everydns
[02:00]  * Bladesman recommends the arno-iptables package.
[02:01] <Falcon192> hello?
[02:01] <danbh_intrepid> tnnc: whats the problem?  (I dont know anything about everydns btw, I'm just curious)
[02:01] <AllNewToMe> I get "iptables unknown argument -l"
[02:01] <jrib> AllNewToMe: linux is case-sensitive
[02:01] <Falcon192> i can´t acess the torrentbytes page anymore
[02:01] <Bladesman> Didja use a capitol L?
[02:01] <b_> just got done installing ubuntu on my laptop, but now my computer constantly running the fan and is getting hot..help
[02:01] <Falcon192> could you help me?
[02:01] <AllNewToMe> Yes, I know.
[02:02] <jrib> AllNewToMe: the command given to you had a "-L", not a "-l"
[02:02] <AllNewToMe> Yes
[02:02] <blak> danbh_intrepid: thank you so much for your help on all these issues!
[02:03] <Bladesman> iptables -L will list the policies.
[02:03] <Falcon192> all times i try, i see an error like htis: http 403 - Proibido
[02:03] <dajhorn> b_:  Click Applications -> Add/Remove...    and uninstall the "Tracker Search Tool".
[02:03] <mn> has anyone here had mem leak problems with FF3 in ubuntu?
[02:03] <danbh_intrepid> blak: np
[02:03] <xomp> any desktop recording apps out there for ubuntu that don't suck? (eg. gtk-recordmydesktop)? Or maybe can tell me why gtk-recordmydesktop runs so horrid on my system? I mean it's bringing my dualcore system to it's e-Knee's!!
[02:03] <danbh_intrepid> !screencast | xomp
[02:03] <AllNewToMe> Sorry my bad, I did use lower -l
[02:03] <Geoffrey2> blak, unless I'm completely mistaken, whenever an updated file is being installed, it simply overwrites the old file...
[02:03] <xomp> thanks danbh_intrepid
[02:03] <DINK_> If I have formated over a fat32 partition (but didn't write any new data to the drive.) what's my best method for recovering the data?
[02:03] <jannikhp> anyone who can help me got some problems with adobeflashplayer and ubuntu :)
[02:04] <AllNewToMe> Using the right command gives me information.
[02:04] <Bladesman> AllNewToMe: Try the arno-iptables package.  Makes a nice firewall script.
[02:04] <danbh_intrepid> DINK_: what format is it now?
[02:04] <jrib> !firewall > AllNewToMe
[02:04] <cmdln> Has anyone experienced problems with evince when opeing pdfs from firefox?
[02:04] <blak> danbh_intrepid: so is it normal now that this wants me to restart?
[02:04] <AllNewToMe> I just want to it to work and not block my network.
[02:04] <blak> danbh_intrepid: this update i guess that occured to proper in the past day or so?
[02:05] <danbh_intrepid> blak: yes
[02:05] <jrib> AllNewToMe: pastebin the output you got from iptables -L
[02:05] <cmdln> I frequently just get the loading screen of evince when opeing pdfs from firefox. (not using mozplugger) Downloading the pdf to disk then opening with evince works as expected.
[02:05] <blak> danbh_intrepid: ok thanks, rebootin i guess then :P thank you and good night :P
[02:05] <DINK_> danbh_intrepid: Mac OS (extended) journaled
[02:05] <blak> danbh_intrepid: oh yea, this is because it effects the kernel right... nothing else ever requires reboot right?
[02:06] <Falcon216> can anyone help me acess the torrentbytes site?
[02:06] <AllNewToMe> How do I "pastebin"?
[02:06] <jrib> !pastebin | AllNewToMe
[02:07] <danbh_intrepid> blak: incorrect, other things can trigger the request for a reboot.  But, I don't know much about which really need a reboot, and which don't.  I generally just reboot
[02:07] <DINK_> danbh_intrepid: Mac OS (extended) journaled, But I haven't written any new data to the drive (other than the data the HFS+ writes)
[02:07] <blak> danbh_intrepid: oh ok thanks then, and goodnight for real this time :P
[02:07] <DINK_> danbh_inrepid: I've used dd_rescue to recover data from a drive but that was when I accidentally pulled the plug on an external while it was reading
[02:08]  * Bladesman tries puzzling out the exim4 docs, trying to get SSL running for gmail.
[02:08] <danbh_intrepid> DINK_: well, I have no idea, but here is a guess.  Reformat back to fat32, (of course, doing the light format, not the low level one) and then use a tool thats designed for fat32 partitions
[02:09] <DINK_> danbh_intrepid: any direction you can point me in for fat32 recovery (I've been googling)
[02:09] <DINK_> danbh_intrepid: could I use dd_rescue in that case?
[02:10] <danbh_intrepid> DINK_: well, the last time I checked into that, I was using windows, and there are tools out there for windows...  but again, I really don't know.  dd_rescue seems harmless enough, as long as you are copying to a different partition/harddrive
[02:11] <AllNewToMe_> here is the output as requested. http://paste.ubuntu.com/58130/
[02:11] <trimeta> So, I have this perennial problem on my system because I made my /boot partition too small: I have barely enough room to store two kernels at the same time, but if I try to uninstall one of the kernels, it runs out of space in the middle of the uninstall.
[02:12] <trimeta> In particular, I end up with (right now) linux-image-2.6.24-19-server successfully uninstalled, but it dies in the middle of that process, leaving linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server still installed.
[02:12] <tnnc>  can someone help with everydns
[02:12] <AllNewToMe> Sorry, lost my internet connection!!
[02:12] <trimeta> And I can't remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server, because it apparently needs to have linux-image-2.6.24-19-server installed to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server.
[02:12] <crimsun> trimeta: a hackaround would be to mv the initrd*.bak to /var/tmp/
[02:13] <Bladesman> rm -rf /lib/modules/kernalmodulesdirectory?
[02:13] <trimeta> crimsun: I'll try to remember that for the future, but right now is there a way to force it to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server without complaining that the relevant kernel isn't installed? And just wiping the modules directory won't make apt know it's not installed.
[02:14]  * Bladesman would repartition the drive.  Bugrit.
[02:15] <DINK_> danbh_intrepid: http://www.linux.com/articles/56588 I found the preceeding link helpful (if anyone if looking for similar hard drive recovery topics)
[02:15] <Bladesman> Will be an unending PITA, otherwise.
[02:15] <trimeta> I mean, it's really annoying when it tries to get a copy of the /boot/System.map-2.6.24-19-server file, which no longer exists, just so it can remove something I don't want anyway.
[02:15] <wng-> Has anyone else had trouble with fglrx after todays kernel update?
[02:15] <danbh_intrepid> trimeta: can you pastebin the error?
[02:15] <AllNewToMe> Did anyone see my pastebin? Thanks
[02:16] <dajhorn> trimeta: If your root filesystem is in a regular partition, then you can just stop using /boot.
[02:16] <danbh_intrepid> DINK_: interesting, maybe I'll add that to help.ubuntu.com
[02:16] <trimeta> dajhorn: It (my main filesystem) is on one system, but it's an LVM on another.
[02:16] <jrib> !who | AllNewToMe
[02:16] <dajhorn> trimeta: If the root ("/") is in RAID or LVM, then you should just backup and reinstall.
[02:17] <crimsun> trimeta: just touch the nonexistent file
[02:17] <jrib> AllNewToMe: you have no iptables rules.  What exactly the issue you are having that you think a firewall is to blame?
[02:17] <zigzags> could someone tell me, what is the name for java commands that get run in browser address field? such as "javascript:insert('>>428')"
[02:17] <trimeta> Pastebin of current error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58131/
[02:17] <trimeta> crimsun: I'll try.
[02:17] <AllNewToMe> Sorry, I didnt know. Thanks.
[02:18] <AllNewToMe> jrib: I cant get my Ubuntu box to talk to a Winblows Vista box.

[02:19] <trimeta> crimsun: Some touching and mkdiring has allowed it to remove the package, thanks.

[02:19] <hacker3d>
[02:19] <hacker3d> can someone help me
[02:19] <AllNewToMe> jrib, network communication
[02:20] <jrib> AllNewToMe: you need to be more specific.
[02:20] <Bladesman> hacker3d: Sorry.  Blind and don't use the GUI.
[02:20] <redwhitewaldo>  how do i find out the ip address of my ubuntu box?
[02:20] <DigitalFiz> AllNewToMe, you install samba?
[02:20] <jrib> redwhitewaldo: ifconfig for your local one, or whatismyip.org for your internet one
[02:20] <redwhitewaldo> jrib: thanks
[02:21] <xiamx> telling you guys.. use XDMCP to remote control a server is a nightmare for the network card
[02:21] <hacker3d>
[02:21] <hacker3d> someone here assisting in the movie ubuntu
[02:21] <dajhorn> redwhitewaldo: Click System ->Administration -> Network Tools  and choose your network interface.
[02:21] <xiamx> so many trafics
[02:22] <AllNewToMe> jrib, I cant send see the Windows machine from my Ubuntu machine nor can I see my Ubuntu machine from Windows. So there is no network communication between the two. I have completely disabled the Windows Firewall
[02:22] <Bladesman> redwhitewaldo: if your router's status page doesn't have the info, try "route"
[02:22] <onx> AllNewToMe, can you ping each others?
[02:22] <jrib> AllNewToMe: you need to explain exactly what you are doing.  Again, you are saying "see".  I don't know what you are doing when you say that
[02:23] <AllNewToMe> DigitalFiz: Yes, samba is installed and works perfectly with other machines on the network. (Windoze 98, OpenSuse, Mint, XP)
[02:23] <hacker3d>
[02:23] <hacker3d> I'm not able to run in movie rmvb in mplayer
[02:23] <jrib> hacker3d: did you install w32codecs?
[02:24] <erisco> an update broke my graphics configuration, or a package, or something
[02:24] <erisco> nonetheless I cannot get glx working
[02:24] <DigitalFiz> AllNewToMe, go into vistas network settings and make sure sharing is on
[02:24] <erisco> did anyone else's system break in recent updates?
[02:24] <jrib> erisco: what card?  And how did you install its drivers before?
[02:24] <redwhitewaldo> i'm having problems using synergy . "failded to connect to server: timed out". can anyone help?
[02:24] <hacker3d> how make this
[02:24] <jrib> !w32codecs | hacker3d
[02:24] <erisco> jrib, its a geforce 7600 and I installed the previous drivers through the repo
[02:25] <jrib> erisco: you didn't use envy then?
[02:25] <erisco> jrib, very recently, and for no apparent reason, I was reduced to failsafe graphics
[02:25] <erisco> jrib, I do
[02:25] <erisco> jrib, but I have tried the normal one now to no success
[02:25] <jrib> erisco: if you use envy, then you need to reinstall the drivers everytime there is a kernel upgrade
[02:25] <AllNewToMe> jrib: "see" in this case means to actually "see" an icon or an entry under workgroup or a folder or anything that I can click on to access file/folders that are stored on both machines. i need to be able to access this data from either machine as part of my work.
[02:25] <hacker3d> i have make the install medi ubuntu repository first
[02:26] <erisco> jrib, well I just recently installed the envy drivers
[02:26] <erisco> jrib, after the kernel upgrade
[02:26] <erisco> jrib, from the repository...
[02:26] <jrib> erisco: and after you booted the new kernel?
[02:26] <erisco> jrib, yes
[02:26]  * Bladesman burns his lip on a tater-tot.
[02:26] <AllNewToMe> DigitalFiz: I have already done that, and I have no problem accessing Vista from other machines
[02:27] <erisco> jrib, I don't know where to start troubleshooting
[02:27] <erisco> jrib, glxinfo gives me rather ambiguous errors
[02:27] <onx> AllNewToMe, try in console smbclient -L //nameofyourvistamachine
[02:28] <jrib> erisco: psatebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf and 'uname -a' and 'dpkg -l | grep nvidia'
[02:29] <Bladesman> AllNewToMe: does   the swat package help?
[02:29] <erisco> jrib, here is the log http://pastebin.com/m5dba4ba2
[02:29] <b_> laptop's fan stays on after install of ubuntu..just uninstalled "search tools" fan still on
[02:30] <erisco> jrib, here is the xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m4c8055d8
[02:30] <jesseboi> Does anyone know where I might find the url to the XML feed that displays updates to Ubuntu+1?.   It was a .se address but I can't remember the URL.
[02:30] <AllNewToMe> bladesman, what is "swat package"
[02:31] <erisco> jrib, here are those commands: http://pastebin.com/m1ce89e56
[02:31] <erisco> jrib thanks for looking into it
[02:31] <Bladesman> AllNewToMe: swat is a samba tool package.
[02:31] <woddf2> Hello
[02:31] <AllNewToMe> Bladesman, how do I use it?
[02:31] <casperr> hey
[02:32] <woddf2> How do I get a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit to work in Hardy?
[02:32] <erisco> jrib, I have tried different xorg.conf's without much success. When I delete xorg.conf and let it configure my resolution comes back to normal, but glx still does not work
[02:32] <genii> woddf2: That one should use the emu10k2  driver
[02:32] <woddf2> Where do I get that?
[02:32] <Bladesman> Stands for Samba Web Administration Tool.
[02:32] <dr_willis> My live 24bit works - with no problems.. i recall.
[02:33] <AllNewToMe> is there a quick way to enter a persons nick that i want to respond to?
[02:33] <woddf2> It worked in Dapper, but not Hardy.
[02:33] <dr_willis> !tab | AllNewToMe
[02:33] <erisco> AllNewToMe, type part of it and hit tab
[02:33] <AllNewToMe> thanks :)
[02:33] <jrib> erisco: it's an envy issue.  I don't know anything about envy.  Try reinstalling one more time with envy.  If that fails, try purging and then installing again
[02:34] <genii> dr_willis: The one box I have with a SB Live! 24     also did not need any special attention to work
[02:34] <erisco> jrib, I tried the normal drivers as well with no difference though
[02:34] <don_jr_KS> What are the commands to burn an ISO please?  I'm new to *nix systems
[02:34] <redwhitewaldo> qwerty
[02:34] <dr_willis> genii,  yea. for a low end card.. that one works very well.
[02:34] <erisco> jrib, the one the hardware device manager recommends
[02:34] <erisco> jrib, hardware driver manager
[02:34] <dr_willis> don_jr_KS,  in ubuntu or windows?  Ubuntu - ya can just double click onthe iso
[02:34] <dr_willis> !iso
[02:34] <dr_willis> !burn
[02:35] <don_jr_KS> This is Ubuntu ultimate.
[02:35] <don_jr_KS> Thanks
[02:35] <woddf2> Where do I get the emu10k2 driver?
[02:35] <jrib> erisco: once you use envy, things become weird and you the repo version won't work right.  I don't know if that's still the case, but it was at one point
[02:35] <dr_willis> woddf2,  it should be allready built in..
[02:35] <genii> !ultimate | don_jr_KS
[02:35] <AllNewToMe> Bladesman: if I enter the command smbclient _L  //machinename, I get an ACESS DENIED error.
[02:35] <woddf2> I heard sound from Amarok, but not from Firefox and Flash Player...
[02:36] <erisco> jrib, all I know is that it broke without any apparent cause, other than an update
[02:36] <don_jr_KS> I've got Kubuntu HH ISO downloaded and gettin ready to burn and install it
[02:36] <jrib> erisco: that's what happens with envy
[02:36] <erisco> jrib, I am purging all related packages and reinstalling
[02:37] <wartalker> int grub menu.list, kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 vga=ext . i want to complete information on the available options, help?

[02:38] <woddf2> How do I get the sound card to work?
[02:38] <Geoffrey2> ok, can anyone here help me get my laptop to once again communicate with the wireless router?
[02:39] <ticky_> How can i change the group permission of a folder in /media ?  % sudo chgrp doesn'tseem to work
[02:39] <jrib> ticky_: is it for something you mounted?
[02:39] <ticky_> is there a special requierement for that forlder?
[02:39] <ticky_> i have unmounted it, and it still doesn't work
[02:39] <wartalker> ubottu:my english is poor, what you mean
[02:40] <ticky_> it changes it. but when i remount it it's all gone
[02:40] <b_> just installed ubuntu and my computer's fan stays on and computer is getting hot
[02:40] <jrib> ticky_: of course.  Do you want to change the permissions on something you are mounting?
[02:40] <onx> wartalker, ubottu is just a bot - what's your native language?

[02:41] <onx> try this :)
[02:41] <PMT> World, there's a package in Debian I'd like to pull into Ubuntu and maintain in Ubuntu. I have never touched the packaging process for Ubuntu - how do I go about doing this?
[02:41] <ticky_> jrib: i wan tto change the permissions to some partitions. so guest users don'thave access to those disks. only me. the sole user of this computer
[02:41] <PMT> [To be clear, I mean specifically Ubuntu's formal process - I'm quite familiar with dpkg, thank you.]
[02:41] <wartalker> onx:thanks
[02:41] <jrib> ticky_: what filesystem?
[02:42] <jrib> PMT: /join #ubuntu-motu
[02:42] <woddf2> How do I get the sound card to work?

[02:42] <don_jr_KS> Is there a way to install from an ISO without burning it to a disk?
[02:42] <iamelite> Hi omg i need help
[02:42] <jrib> !install > don_jr_KS
[02:43] <iamelite> Ive ben googling for hours
[02:43] <genii> don_jr_KS: If you have 2 machines, yes
[02:43] <b_> computer overheating after ubuntu install-help please
[02:43] <amenado> don_jr_KS--> i believe yes
[02:43] <AllNewToMe> ubottu: is it possible to add the mint support chat chanel to this program?
[02:43]  * Bladesman steps out after nearly choking to friggin death of a tater-tot.
[02:43] <iamelite> I have a g3 Imac old thing and a live CD powerpc that boots up into the text kernel but wont boot the X. Right now im most concerned with getting the life commandline base kernel installed into the computer and ill screw with the other things later
[02:44] <woddf2> How do I get the sound card to work?
[02:44] <iamelite> I dont know how to do that
[02:44] <b_> i give up
[02:45] <wng-> I'm having trouble with fglrx after the kernel update. I can't get it to work with either the ubuntu package and the latest package from ati, anyone have any luck?
[02:45] <TD-Linux> HELP
[02:45] <Flynsarmy> if i had a whole bunch of folders called xyz.com how could i zip them all at once and ignore all folders that don't end in '.com' ? i tried zip -r *.com test.zip but it didnt work
[02:45] <TD-Linux> I'm officially in a panic now
[02:45] <TD-Linux> after doing something really stupid
[02:45] <jrib> !ask | TD-Linux
[02:45] <TD-Linux> I killed my partition table
[02:45] <PoisonArrow> I just want to say how FRESH and CLEAN the new Kubuntu is
[02:46] <TD-Linux> and bang
[02:46] <PoisonArrow> and its supports my card now:) I LOVE UBUNTU
[02:46] <TD-Linux> 60GB of data, as well as my restore partition, GONE
[02:46] <jrib> !enter | TD-Linux
[02:46] <redwhitewaldo> after i ssh into my laptop with Nautilus, how can i make changes to files which require Sudo accessL?
[02:46] <PoisonArrow> !ubuntu
[02:46] <jrib> redwhitewaldo: doubt you can
[02:46] <amenado> don_jr_KS--> you dont need to pc, you can use debootstrap and point the install source from an expanded iso (expanded to a directory)
[02:46] <woddf2> How do I get the sound card to work?
[02:46] <TD-Linux> so, my question is, how can I find where the two partitions (ext3 and fat) are, and rebuild the partition table to point to them?
[02:46] <don_jr_KS> is upgrading from feisty up to HH alright? or should I do a fresh install
[02:47] <jrib> !sound > woddf2
[02:47] <jrib> don_jr_KS: you need to do Feisty -> Gutsy -> Hardy
[02:47] <jrib> !upgrade > don_jr_KS
[02:47] <redwhitewaldo> so how can i edit my laptop's sources.list from my desktop box ?
[02:47] <don_jr_KS> jrib right, It's upgrading to Gusty now...but wasn't sure if that's an okay way to go? or if new install would be a more stable way to handle it
[02:47] <don_jr_KS> since I'm using ubuntu ultimate, will the upgrade work out?
[02:47] <jrib> don_jr_KS: either is fine.  I have no idea about ultimate
[02:47] <Storrgie> is there a channel to talk about 810?
[02:47] <swegner> anybody know a good IRC channel appropriate for programming-type questions?  In particular, I had an autoconf question.
[02:48] <don_jr_KS> ok thanks
[02:48] <Geoffrey2> don_jr_KS, well, if nothing else, only installing one OS insted of two would seem to save a lot of time....
[02:48] <amenado> swegner--> perhaps #c  for make and automake and autoconf related topics
[02:49] <swegner> amenado: great, thanks
[02:49] <don_jr_KS> Geoffrey2 I only want one OS, but for some reason my DVD burner isn't working right
[02:49] <don_jr_KS> in 'computer' it shows it's a DVD/CD writer, but when I right click the ISO and tell it to write, it doesn't
[02:49] <jrib> Flynsarmy: isn't -r recursive?
[02:49] <onx> TD-Linux, get testdisk and try that
[02:49] <Flynsarmy> jrib, yes. all the .com's are folders
[02:50] <jrib> Flynsarmy: and you want to zip all the .com or ignore all the .com?
[02:50] <Flynsarmy> jrib, i want it to zip all .com folders in current directory and ignore all other folders/files. basically anything with '.com' in its name
[02:50] <balz> grim76:  if you're still there, here's my vsftpd.conf file ... I think it's right.
[02:51] <balz> grim76:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/58139/
[02:51] <jrib> Flynsarmy: zip -r name *.com     should work, but I don't really use zip
[02:51] <Pierre_> How do I check what the settings are for my power back up shut down settings?
[02:51] <grim76> balz: Are you wanting people to upload to your ftp?
[02:52] <TD-Linux> onx, I'm using gpart right now
[02:52] <TD-Linux> what's the executable name for testdisk?
[02:52] <balz> grim76:  yes, but only users who have accounts on my machine, and only to their home folders
[02:52] <TD-Linux> I installed it but can't figure out how to run it :(
[02:52] <grim76> balz: ok that looks like it should work.
[02:52] <TD-Linux> currently, gpart has found the two partitions that do exist
[02:52] <onx> TD-Linux, testdisk is the executable name. don't touch gparted for now
[02:52]  * TD-Linux crosses his fingers... and nearly breaks them
[02:52] <TD-Linux> gpart, not gparted
[02:52] <balz> grim76:  no security problems as far as you can tell?  Also, is there a way to ban certain users from ftp?
[02:53] <onx> TD-Linux, ah ok
[02:53] <grim76> balz: There is but I have not had to do that in a while.
[02:53] <TD-Linux> I'll cancel it and use testdisk
[02:53] <Pierre_> I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take
[02:53] <Flynsarmy> jrib: thanks
[02:53] <balz> grim76:  oh and just to be clear:  the chroot jail only applies to FTP, right?  a user seated at the terminal can still work with other files?
[02:53] <balz> grim76:  okay i'll google that lol thanks
[02:53] <adrian_> hi all
[02:53] <lat> I've been given a CD that works fine on a WindowsXP computer, but on my Ubuntu computer I get: "Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'." Is there a way around this?
[02:53] <TD-Linux> alright running testdisk now, it was in /usr/sbin
[02:53] <grim76> balz: Yes it only apples to the ftp and not ssh connections as well.
[02:54] <TD-Linux> note I'm using a fedora live cd, though the system I just lost is ubuntu
[02:54] <balz> grim76:  i don't have to uncomment "write_enable" do i?
[02:54] <lordars> what is  sinbol the debian
[02:54] <grim76> balz: For people to be able to upload yes you do.
[02:55] <Pierre_> I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take
[02:55] <balz> grim76:  ah okay. Well i'll fire it up and test it out. thanks very much!
[02:57] <Pierre_> I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take
[02:57] <zigzags> could someone tell me how to view the index of a site? as in show its folder hierarchy?
[02:58] <jrib> zigzags: ls -R /path/to/www
[02:58] <genii> !info apcupsd | Pierre_
[02:58] <Pierre_> Thanks Genii I will try that
[02:59] <genii> Pierre_: Those 9 pin serial port types need a special cord  incidentally
[03:00] <MiddleOfNowhere> How can i make my ubuntu box a socks 5 proxy?
[03:01] <balz> grim76:  not to beat a dead horse, but what are the security risks associated with chroot_local_user?
[03:01] <balz> grim76:  or risks rather, it doesn't sepcify that they are security related
[03:01] <onx> TD-Linux, didn't even know about gpart. from what i just read on it, author seems to have lost interest a while back :o
[03:01] <AllNewToMe> Does anyone know the Ex Chat name of a Linux Mint group please?
[03:01] <jrib> AllNewToMe: I gave you that information already
[03:02] <zigzags> jrib: its not working, says 'no such file or directory' would this work "ls -R http://www.yahoo.com"
[03:02] <Windsurfer6191> (Q) I'm trying to make a LiveCD with NVidia drivers on it. What packages are required?
[03:02] <AllNewToMe> jrib: Yes, and I lost it :(  (I'm a bit slow)
[03:02] <jrib> zigzags: no.  I assume you want to do this on a server locally as your question doesn't really make sense for some random website
[03:03] <TD-Linux> YES
[03:03] <AllNewToMe> jrib: could you be so kind and give it to me again?
[03:03] <jrib> AllNewToMe: /msg ubottu mintsupport
[03:03] <TD-Linux> YES
[03:03] <TD-Linux> testdisk found my linux partition !
[03:03] <TD-Linux> unfortunately it didn't find my system restore partition
[03:03] <AllNewToMe> jrib: Thanks :)
[03:03] <grim76> balz: I am not sure.  I will be honest with.
[03:03] <TD-Linux> but meh, not that useful anyway, I can order a restore DVD
[03:03] <Windsurfer6191> What is the difference between all the nvidia-glx packages?
[03:03] <TD-Linux> nvidia-glx-new is for recent cards
[03:03] <jrib> Windsurfer6191: different versions for different cards
[03:03] <balz> grim76:  okay. thanks so much for the help. it seems to be working!
[03:04] <onx> TD, try the "deep search" or whatsitcalled
[03:04] <TD-Linux> nvidia-glx-*-dev is for using nvidia-specific headers to compile (aka you don't need it)
[03:04] <punto> hi.. does the flash package install the new flash version? (10) I'm on 'hardy'
[03:04] <jrib> punto: not yet
[03:04] <Windsurfer6191> jrib: Hm. Is there a way to get all the drivers?
[03:04] <Windsurfer6191> I'm on Intrepid.
[03:04] <Windsurfer6191> Or at least, using an intrepid ISO
[03:04] <jrib> Windsurfer6191: umm, just get the one that works for the card you have.  Intrepid questions belong in #ubuntu+1
[03:04] <TD-Linux> onx, I can't find that option
[03:05] <TD-Linux> what card do you have? you probably want nvidia-glx-new
[03:05] <onx> TD-Linux, after doing the initial quick search, you get the option to search more
[03:05] <Windsurfer6191> jrib: Okay. I tried the 173 package, and that didn't work. I don't know what card I have, but it's a few years old. What would you guess?
[03:05] <onthefence928> how do i turn off emerald without shutting down compiz entirely or uninstalling emerald?
[03:06] <jrib> Windsurfer6191: system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers  usually suggests the one you need
[03:06] <onx> that will take quite a while then, but sometimes works for bringing stuff back that has been messed with thoroughly :9
[03:06] <bzaks> does anyone know how to set wlan0 as primary over eth0?
[03:06] <Windsurfer6191> jrib: I don't have a GUI available
[03:06] <jrib> !nvidia > Windsurfer6191
[03:06] <Rev> hello
[03:06] <onthefence928> bzaks: if theer is no eth0 connection than wlan0 should be used automatically
[03:06] <TD-Linux> alright, running deep search now
[03:06] <Rev> my xfce just died, and my panel moved out of the screen (i can still see a part of an edge of it)
[03:06] <TD-Linux> btw, if anyone wants to learn from my mistakes:
[03:06] <jrib> Windsurfer6191: the documentation there links you to the supported cards for the driver
[03:06] <Rev> how to make it come back where it used to be?
[03:07] <TD-Linux> I decided to install a pirate copy of Mac OS x86... NEVER DO IT
[03:07] <bzaks> onthefence928: there is an eth0 connection, its to a different network though.. (no internet on that network)
[03:07] <the_dude> i need to install some nvidia mx440 drivers to my pc, ive reinstalled ubuntu, and suddendly he started running in 640 of resolution, plz help! im all day fixing this sh1t!

[03:09] <FuDGe2> TD-Linux: what happened?
[03:09] <MiddleOfNowhere> Sorry guys im back: How can i make my ubuntu box a socks 5 proxy?
[03:09] <the_dude> smil3y, its all 640 man...
[03:09] <jrib> the_dude: system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[03:09] <the_dude> jrib, yeah but it doesnt open man
[03:09] <Rev> my xfce panels are now empty
[03:09] <TD-Linux> well, I moved my partitions around a bit with gparted
[03:10] <TD-Linux> which I think succeeded but I never tested
[03:10] <TD-Linux> so I made an empty logical partition I thought I would install to
[03:10] <TD-Linux> so I go into the Mac OS X installer
[03:10] <TD-Linux> start the Disk Utility
[03:10] <smil3y> the_dude>  system> pref> screen resolution
[03:10] <MiddleOfNowhere> I got so many responses it confused me.
[03:10] <TD-Linux> I choose to format the logical volume HFS+
[03:10] <TD-Linux> and BOOM
[03:10] <the_dude> how do i donwload nvidia drivers and managers thrue terminal
[03:10] <TD-Linux> somehow my partitions all die
[03:10] <AllNewToMe>  /msg ubottu mintsupport
[03:10] <ross__> Is it possible to bypass websense by setting my box up as a proxy?
[03:10] <the_dude> smil3y, it only has 640 and 800, but 800 cuts my screen
[03:11] <Aegeon> does anyone know what program is used for the volume hotkey dialogs
[03:11] <jrib> the_dude: run 'jockey-gtk'
[03:11] <smil3y> the_dude>  wget and then the url for what you want to dload
[03:11] <Aegeon> for volume +/- and mute  it shows a dialog what program makes that dialog?
[03:11] <Aegeon> is it a custom gnome config or something?
[03:11] <peer`> anybody here good with windows networking? i need a little help for the sake of my kubuntu install
[03:11] <the_dude> jrib, error
[03:12] <onx> TD-Linux, did macOS workc though?
[03:12] <jrib> !pastebin | the_dude
[03:12] <the_dude> smil3y, a guy yesterday helped me man
[03:12] <jrib> the_dude: pastebin it
[03:13] <smil3y> the_dude>  what are you talking about? you jump from one thing to another... have you tried any suggestions yet?
[03:13] <punto> what version number is "hardy"?
[03:13] <youngbreezy> how do i bring back my bottom toolbar
[03:13] <the_dude> smil3y, what man?
[03:13] <_Zeus_> 8.04
[03:15] <youngbreezy> how do i bring back my bottom toolbar
[03:15] <MiddleOfNowhere> guys what is  /etc/rc.local
[03:15] <MiddleOfNowhere> ?
[03:15] <bryantdoss> youngbreezy: do you still have a top toolbar?
[03:15] <youngbreezy> yeah
[03:15] <the_dude> can someone help me?
[03:16] <bryantdoss> youngbreezy: right click the top toolbar and select "New Panel"?
[03:16] <MiddleOfNowhere> I need to make my ubuntu box a Socks 5 Proxy using the CLI
[03:16] <_Zeus_> !ask | the_dude
[03:16] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: the comments at the top of /etc/rc.local tell you what it is.  It's a way to run things on startup as root
[03:16] <MiddleOfNowhere> Well I want to make my ubuntu box a socks 5 proxy and cause it to start on boot up
[03:16] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: depending on what you want exactly, you could just use ssh (-D)
[03:16] <MiddleOfNowhere> can i make ssh socks 5 compatiable?
[03:16] <youngbreezy> bryantdoss:thanks..will everything minimize to this
[03:16] <jrib> the_dude: no one can help you if you do not answer questions you are asked
[03:17] <bryantdoss> youngbreezy: probably not yet, you may have to add the window list to the toolbar
[03:17] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: yes...
[03:17] <MiddleOfNowhere> How do i do that in my cli?
[03:17] <bryantdoss> right click and select "Add to panel"
[03:17] <iamelite> So question if you have a live command kernel can you install Xubuntu through the net, or the base kernel itself
[03:17] <arvind_khadri> hi, whats the module for AC97?
[03:17] <bryantdoss> youngbreezy: and select Window List
[03:17] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: see the -D option in 'man ssh'.  Pass -D when you connect.
[03:17] <the_dude> my screen man, its off resolution man, i cant open any resolution manager, and i was with the nvidia mx440 driver, and suddendly it came to 640.... i justa wanna get back the driver and download the manager that i got yesterday....
[03:17] <bryantdoss> youngbreezy: then everything will minimize to it, you can also add a lot of other cool stuff like extra workspaces, buttons, etc
[03:18] <MiddleOfNowhere> jrib: how do i make that happen automatically on boot up?
[03:18] <grafixbadnow> did anyone else lose their nvidia workarounds with the latest updates? I'm back to 800x600 generic drivers again.
[03:18] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: not with ssh
[03:18] <PMT> You're running intrepid?
[03:18] <MiddleOfNowhere> jrib: how could i do socks 5 to start on bootup?
[03:18] <PMT> Rather - grafixbadnow and the_dude and co, are you asking about intrepid or hardy?
[03:18] <indio> Hi.
[03:19] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: you just have the option of creating a local port when you ssh somewhere that acts as a socks proxy
[03:19] <the_dude> hardy
[03:19] <grafixbadnow> PMT... I'm on hardy
[03:19] <youngbreezy> bryantdoss:thanks
[03:19] <indio> How do I know the kernel version I'm running?
[03:19] <MiddleOfNowhere> jrib: can you walk me through it?
[03:19] <PMT> indio - uname -r will tell you.
[03:19] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: I don't know.  Did you try: apt-cache search socks proxy
[03:19] <indio> PMT: Thanks.
[03:19] <MiddleOfNowhere> just did
[03:20] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: that should give you a place to start
[03:20] <indio> Is 2.6.24-21-generic the latest kernel version ?
[03:20] <ezzieyguywuf> is psad only a standalone program or is there some sort of antivirus package that uses it? (psad = port scan attack detector)
[03:21] <genii> indio: For 8.04 yes
[03:21] <arvind_khadri> indio, ya
[03:21] <PMT> MiddleOfNowhere - it seems like gstm might do what you want. It allows you to open SSH tunnels (including SOCKS5) automatically on startup of a client computer.
[03:21] <indio> Thanks folks.
[03:21] <PMT> It depends on whether you're asking because you want a specific machine to be an open SOCKS5 proxy or because you want one machine to be a client.
[03:21] <grafixbadnow> I'm also on 2.6.24-21-generic. also have nvidia problems
[03:22] <arvind_khadri> if i compile envy's drivers on a new kernel will the settings for the older ones be lost?
[03:22] <JulioNeto> Any of you are using Flash Player Plugin 10 for Linux right now?
[03:22] <JulioNeto> in Ubuntu
[03:22] <nkei0> Hello, is there a way to re-install a fresh 8.04 without losing any of my settings/data?
[03:22] <PMT> arvind_khadri - unless you modified the code itself, I don't believe so.
[03:22] <lat> Google shows that the error "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'" is a long time bug that is still not fixed. What a pain!
[03:22] <AllNewToMe> jrib: How do I add the Linux Mint chanel to the Ex Chat program so that it appears in the list like "#ubuntu"
[03:22] <PMT> JilioNeto - I am, but I'm in intrepid.
[03:22] <ezzieyguywuf> nekei: jsut save your home folder
[03:23] <bbyever> is there a program in ubuntu to turn voice commands into command line commands?
[03:23] <arvind_khadri> PMT, but it happens for me...
[03:23] <JulioNeto> PMT, Do you have noticed any better change in it?
[03:23] <ezzieyguywuf> nkei: of course, it won't be a completely 'clean' install since you are resetting all your settings. why do you need a clean install?
[03:23] <PMT> arvind_khadri - then Envy's installer is doing something unpleasant and blowing away your settings.
[03:23] <jrib> AllNewToMe: Connect to the server it is on and then join the channel.  Check the first menu dropdown you have, it's probably around there that you can connect to a new server
[03:23] <arvind_khadri> PMT, when i try to install it removes the older packages
[03:23] <PMT> JulioNeto, I don't have nearly as many crashes in it as I used to. I don't really use flash sites much, so I don't notice much.
[03:24] <PMT> arvind_khadri - what packages specifically?
[03:24] <MiddleOfNowhere> PMT: I want the machine to be a socks 5 proxy. Not a client
[03:24] <JulioNeto> ok
[03:24] <JulioNeto> ;)
[03:24] <JulioNeto> tks
[03:24] <nkei0> ezzieyguywuf:  I tried to update my system with the latest 20 updates and it failed in the middle and my laptop lost power.  So my fsck is failing and I can't repair the broken packages and start because my acpi doesn't work.
[03:24] <PMT> MiddleOfNowhere - then you probably want some package out of apt like jrib said, and I can't offer you any help setting it up, as I've not done it. :)
[03:24] <AllNewToMe> jrib: But how do I connect to the server!! :(
[03:24] <arvind_khadri> PMT, nvidia-kernel-envy and 2 more...cant remember now..
[03:24] <PMT> nkei0 - your fsck is failing how?
[03:24] <jrib> AllNewToMe: Connect to the server it is on and then join the channel.  ----->  Check the first menu dropdown you have, it's probably around there that you can connect to a new server  <----
[03:25] <ezzieyguywuf> nkei: damn that sucks. so yea if you save /home/[user] to an external hard disk you should be good
[03:25] <biouser> anyone know of a good way to check my connection speed?
[03:25] <Cryptorchild> speedtest . net
[03:25] <nkei0> PMT: I'm not entirely sure, it won't let me copy it.  However, it fails and then it my xserver gui won't start and i only have the option to type in my login/pw and then nothing happens.
[03:25] <ezzieyguywuf> nkei: i usually put /home on its own partition so that when i do re-install, i just don't format that partition and i'm good to go.
[03:25] <PMT> fsck failing is something you'd probably want to address before trying to repair the packages, nkei0, unless it failed at precisely the right time to hose the binary
[03:26] <Crayboff> can anyone who knows ubuntu, can you help me out? my internet isn't working on the ubuntu half of my computer. Vista works fine. I reset the iptables. I have all the info I have on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504  please help!
[03:26] <AllNewToMe> jrib: what dropdown? where?
[03:26] <nkei0> PMT: It started the fsck after repairing the broken packages, it was one of the every so often checks.
[03:26] <jrib> AllNewToMe: you have menu items at the top of your window right?
[03:26] <isilion> Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday
[03:26] <PMT> nkei0 - that's still pretty bad. :)
[03:27] <AllNewToMe> jrib: Yes?
[03:27] <jrib> AllNewToMe: click them
[03:27] <TD-Linux> hmm, gpart found my fat32 recovery partition
[03:27] <grafixbadnow> crayboff... i'm very new to ubuntu, but I had similar problem. do you get eth0 when you do ifconfig?
[03:27] <TD-Linux> but didn't do so well with the others
[03:27] <MiddleOfNowhere> I want to Use SSH to reroute traffic as a Socks5 proxy so I can use video and voice as well as typical traffic
[03:27] <TD-Linux> time to come up with a good way to combine their results
[03:27] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: I told you how to do that already
[03:27] <smil3y> AllNewToMe>  wow dude click "XChat" at the top left of the window your in
[03:27] <nkei0> PMT:  I agree.  That's why I was trying to re-install in place...  Do you think if I upgrade to the 8.10 beta it will be ok?
[03:28] <MiddleOfNowhere> jrib: I looked but there was so many packages to choose from
[03:28] <PMT> nkei0 - It won't fix your fsck problems. :)
[03:28] <FiReSTaRT> hello everyone
[03:28] <skulls> BitchX works on ubuntu now if you rather use that
[03:28] <reddraconi> 'allo
[03:28] <ggmaster> hello guys
[03:28] <nkei0> PMT:  Okay, I think I'll try it anyways though.
[03:28] <nkei0> PMT:  Thanks.
[03:28] <AllNewToMe> jrib: Ok, if I click on "IRC" it opens a box but there is nothing about MINT?
[03:28] <jrib> MiddleOfNowhere: pick one, google it, read documentation.  Then go on to the next one.  Then make a decision.  There were about a dozen when I searched and not all were actual proxies
[03:28] <grafixbadnow> crayboff?
[03:28] <PMT> No problem. Come back in if it doesn't work. :)
[03:29] <MiddleOfNowhere> jrib: thanks
[03:29] <nkei0> PMT:  LoL, if I can.
[03:29] <jrib> AllNewToMe: so?  Didn't ubottu tell you the server the mint channel was on?
[03:29] <Crayboff> umm, grafixbadnow, I'm using wireless so i thought it should be the wlan one but anyway I'm not really sure what you are asking, but that link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504) has a copy of the ifconfig. I can't redo right now because I am using Vista right now.
[03:29] <AllNewToMe> jrib: um?
[03:29] <TheBeast> I'm planning to install an ubuntu system using the minimal iso (the one that's like 10 megs) and I'd like to enable the interpid (cutting edge) repos. do you think this would be possible?
[03:29] <jrib> !mintsupport | AllNewToMe
[03:29] <jrib> AllNewToMe: irc.spotchat.org
[03:29] <skulls> anyone know anything about compiz? When I try to click on Extra, it goes back to none
[03:29] <FiReSTaRT> i have a grub question on hardy.. i'm already doing a dual boot (vista/hardy) but i wanna add xp for some work apps that won't wine or run on vista.. will i have to manually configure grub or will it auto-detect the new bootable partition?
[03:30] <isilion> Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday. i forgot to tell that im using ubuntu 8.04.1 with kernel 21 installed and updated 30 mins ago
[03:30] <ezzieyguywuf> TheBeat: enabling the repoes shouldn't be a problem once you have the system installed. it's just a matter of entering it into synaptic
[03:30] <PMT> Crayboff - the contents of route -n would be interesting. Also, as said in the thread, aptitude purge firestarter. The next thing to do is start grepping your /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc.local for things which restore iptables rules.
[03:30] <FiReSTaRT> TheBeast: the way they advertised intrepid, it should be able to run on just about anything and i don't see any problems with the native repos
[03:30] <reddraconi> 'allo all: having issues running socks5 over ssh for video, ideas?
[03:30] <PMT> s/contents/output/
[03:30] <grafixbadnow> crayboff... sorry. i didn't notice that those postings on the forums were actually you. I never could get the mac address to show on eth0. I think I had a different problem with similar symptoms. can't help you. sorry to disappoiht
[03:31] <PMT> reddraconi - more details? what kind of issues?
[03:31] <smil3y> FiReSTaRT>  you have an empty partition for xp already?
[03:31] <jrib> TheBeast: you don't "enable intrepid repos".  It's a different release.  You would need to upgrade from hardy to intrepid if you have the hardy minimal iso.  Instead you should get an actual intrepid iso. #ubuntu+1 is the channel for help with intrepid
[03:31] <nkei0> exit
[03:31] <AllNewToMe> where do I type irc.spotchat.org? in my browser (does nothing except present security warnings!)
[03:31] <PMT> grafixbadnow - I'd bet you a quarter your eth0 was firewire or otherwise unreal.
[03:31] <reddraconi> i can pass TCP traffic, can't seem to get UDP through though
[03:31] <balz> grim76:  i keep getting an authentication error (530)
[03:31] <skulls> ./server irc.spotchat.org
[03:31] <FiReSTaRT> smil3y: nope.. i was gonna create a 10gig partition.. that's one good thing i can say about vista.. partitioning is very easy
[03:31] <jrib> AllNewToMe: it's the server you want to connect to in xchat
[03:31] <PMT> That's correct, reddraconi. You don't expect that to work, because of how SOCKS works. Sorry. The -w option to SSH or a VPN would probably be more what you want. :)
[03:32] <TheBeast> jrib: what I really want is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list or whatever and get interpid installed off the minimal ISO over the network(network install) is that possible?
[03:32] <genii> skulls: omit the . before the /
[03:32] <skulls> yeah
[03:32] <grafixbadnow> pmt.. you're probably right. i've been using ubuntu for all of 6 weeks, so you could make a lot of money betting against met
[03:32] <PMT> [Someone correct me if I'm mis-recalling and SOCKS has no problem with UDP.]
[03:32] <reddraconi> -w? woot, I've already got -D to reroute traffic through the SSH
[03:32] <AllNewToMe> Thanks all, I'll just give it up, I have no idea what to do :(
[03:32] <jrib> TheBeast: doesn't sound like a terribly great idea, no.  Ask #ubuntu+1 if there exists an intrepid minimal iso, that is what you want
[03:32] <smil3y> FiReSTaRT>  its easy enough to add xp to grub, ubuntu doesnt automagically add other os to grub though unless it finds it on ubuntu install
[03:33] <Crayboff> PMT, i'm not really sure what you are saying as I am pretty much a ubuntu noob. I purged firestarter already, but what do meam by grepping those files?
[03:33] <skulls> I'm wanting to use 3D cube, I activate it and the other thing, but when I do ctrl+atl+left it changings the screen
[03:33] <skulls> any help?
[03:33] <smil3y> FiremanEd>  just google grub xp theres a ton of instructions on the net
[03:33] <PMT> -w is a bit more complicated, reddraconi, but it's how you set up a complete virtual network between the two using SSH, which should do UDP and anything else you want.
[03:33] <Fezzler1> I need some advice for a CTO
[03:33] <grafixbadnow> skulls... what graphics card?
[03:33] <grim76> balz: Try turning off the ssl options.
[03:33] <reddraconi> awesome, thanks!
[03:33] <balz> in the client or vsftpd?
[03:33] <omnomnOMINOUS> Hi all! I'm using Firefox 3.0.3 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, and I'm getting random crashes with Flash. Sometimes Firefox crashes when I load a page with Flash; sometimes it crashes when I start playing a video. Sometimes it crashes the first time I try to load a page with Flash, and then works fine the second time I try to load it. Sometimes it crashes over and over. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance! :)
[03:33] <PMT> Crayboff - I mean grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* /etc/rc.local and then putting the results in the thread.
[03:33] <FiReSTaRT> smil3y: thanks.. this was just a curiosity thing.. i remember it being easy enough, but i'm a lazy bum lol.. ughhh my baby will be soiled with 2 versions of doze
[03:33] <skulls> grafixbadnow, idk, it's one that came in this computer
[03:34] <PMT> omnomnOMINOUS - have you filed a bug using apport?
[03:34] <b3lorixx> is there a better portscanner i can get besides the one builr into ubuntu
[03:34] <omnomnOMINOUS> PMT: no, how do I do that?
[03:34]  * FiReSTaRT bbiab pit stop
[03:34] <PMT> b3lorixx, better in what sense?
[03:34] <benzin`> I have no internet connection on my kubuntu install, however I do have internet on my PC. I just downloaded NDISwrapper 1.53 as a tar.gz file and can move it over to my laptop, however I don't know what I need to do to extract and install it. a guide would be appreciated. Anybody?
[03:34] <smil3y> FiReSTaRT>  i cant get my youngest off xp......... WOW addict
[03:34] <jrib> AllNewToMe: in xchat: Xchat menu -> network list -> Add  -> edit new network -> irc.spotchat.org for the server. close. select the new network. connect. /join #linuxmint.  If you installed linux, you can do this
[03:34] <Crayboff> PMT alright I think I can do that, you'll have to wait for me to shutdown Vista and reboot as ubuntu then reboot as vista again, though.
[03:34] <grafixbadnow> skulls.... someone (else) can tell you the command to use to get your graphics card. it's lspci something
[03:34] <b3lorixx> PMT, able to scan remote addresses
[03:34] <Blice> Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu and it says I have no harddrive. I went into /dev and did 'ls', and there isn't an entry with hd* or sd*? I also tried 'fdisk -l' and it returned nothing. What should I try next?
[03:35] <PMT> omnomnOMINOUS, I'm not sure of the nice way to enable apport using the GUI, but edit /etc/default/apport, change enabled=0 to enabled=1, then run /etc/init.d/apport start
[03:35] <grafixbadnow> skulls.. go into terminal and type lspci. it will be a long list, but you can probably pick out the name of a graphics card
[03:35] <PMT> Then the next time it crashes, you should get a prompt to submit a bug. :)
[03:35] <smil3y> benzin`>  tar -xvf and the name of the tarball will extract it
[03:35] <grim76> balz: Are there some users that you can login as and others that you can't?
[03:35] <jrib> omnomnOMINOUS: know bug, should be fixed in intrepid being released in 2 weeks
[03:35] <PMT> b3lorixx, what port scanner are you using? If it's backed by nmap, it can scan any arbitrary address.
[03:35] <ezzieyguywuf> is there a way to make a removable drive automount to the same place every time?
[03:35] <skulls> it
[03:36] <benzin`> smil3y, do i need to cd to the dir it's in to do that?
[03:36] <jrib> ezzieyguywuf: give it a label
[03:36] <Crayboff> PMT, wait, are the codes you want me to do: $grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/*  and $grep -i iptables /etc/rc.local?
[03:36] <balz> grim76:  no, i can't log in with any user.  I keep gettinf 530:  login failed
[03:36] <smil3y> benzin`>  yes
[03:36] <jrib> !label | ezzieyguywuf
[03:36] <skulls> grafixbadnow, it's all VIA Tech names,
[03:36] <b3lorixx> PMT, i was using teh horrible one built into teh Ubuntu Netowkr tools
[03:36] <benzin`> smil3y alright, then how do I install it? apt-get?
[03:36] <ezzieyguywuf> jrib: thanks
[03:36] <PMT> Crayboff - sure, but you can run them both as one command: $ grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* /etc/rc.local
[03:37] <PMT> b3lorixx, I have a default install laying around and don't see it. It's under Network->Port Scanner?
[03:37] <grim76> balz: Pastebin your config after the last set of changes that you made.
[03:37] <omnomnOMINOUS> jrib: oh, can you link me to the bug report?
[03:37] <isilion> Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday
[03:37] <smil3y> benzin`>  nope.  should be a "readme" somewhere in the extracted files, follow instructions in that, every tarball is different
[03:37] <grafixbadnow> skulls... hmmm I'm way too new to be helping you here. i was hoping for nvidia or ati or something else I'd heard of. I spent a week on a graphics card problem a while ago, so i was going to point you in that direction
[03:37] <b3lorixx> PMT, System, Admin, Netowrk tools
[03:37] <benzin`> smil3y, alright thanks
[03:37] <tundrayeti313> Is there a key combo to restart X but not kill the user session?
[03:37] <PMT> Fascinating. Never tried this one.
[03:37] <jrib> omnomnOMINOUS: search bugs.ubuntu.com, I don't know it offhand.  It involves flash and pulseaudio and the libflashsupport package
[03:38] <smil3y> benzin`>  most likely it will tell you to ./configure  then make and then sudo make install
[03:38] <PMT> b3lorixx, have you tried specifying a network interface that's not lo in the Devices tab?
[03:38] <omnomnOMINOUS> jrib: ok. i tried searching on google for "firefox 3 flash crash ubuntu hardy", but it returns a bunch of results, with a bunch of different people having problems, and a bunch of different solutions, none of which work for everyone
[03:38] <skulls> grafixbadnow, great.. I'm going to install an ATI Gforce in this box tomorrow, any links, or does it autodetect the card and find drivers?
[03:38] <genii> tundrayeti313: I severely doubt it
[03:38] <PMT> isilion, does syslog or dmesg show anything useful?
[03:38] <grafixbadnow> skulls... as my name indicates, i'm in here looking for help with nvidia graphics. the recent updates blew out all my hard-worked patches that had it working before
[03:38] <jrib> omnomnOMINOUS: I didn't tell you to search google...
[03:38] <omnomnOMINOUS> jrib: oh i know
[03:38] <tundrayeti313> genii: nothing other than ctl+alt+backspace?
[03:38] <omnomnOMINOUS> jrib: i'm going to bugs.ubuntu.com now
[03:38] <balz> grim76:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/58153/
[03:39] <Crayboff> PMT, i'm going to try that now
[03:39] <grafixbadnow> skulls... i manually downloaded the correct nvidia proprietary driver from their site. it has stopped working since yesterday's updates
[03:39] <isilion> now i dont have any driver installed. i was going to install ati drivers from envyng, if you dont suggest anything
[03:39] <PMT> tundrayeti313, I'm reasonably certain that you're not going to get an equivalent of nohup for X without a really weird X extension. Such exist, but they're not installed by default, so it won't work everywhere. :)
[03:39] <jrib> omnomnOMINOUS: there's no good solution that I know of in hardy.  You either deal with the crashes or remove teh support for pulseaudio and can't play more than one sound when flash is playing.  (there's nspluginwrapper, but that's a hack to use on 32bit)
[03:40] <tundrayeti313> PMT: hmmm, not familiar w/ nohup
[03:40] <skulls> grafixbadnow, thanks though, I'll come back tomorrow when I'm installing the new card
[03:40] <fyrmedic> is anyone good at pppd scripts that can help me figure out an issue?
[03:40] <PMT> nohup is a command-line tool to prevent a program from going away when the appropriate terminal vanishes.
[03:40] <ezzieyguywuf> jrib: that link refers me to a program titlted e2label which doesn't seem to be in the repoes. is there an alternative program?
[03:40] <isilion> pmt so what i do?
[03:40] <PMT> ezzieyguywuf, e2fsprogs/e2fstools should have it.
[03:41] <jrib> ezzieyguywuf: it's in e2fsprogs
[03:41] <grafixbadnow> hello, room. anyone else have video driver problems since yesterday's updates?
[03:41] <Uplink> anyone know physics? i need some help =|
[03:41] <FiReSTaRT> smil3y: unfortunately it's not an addiction thing.. some things i need for work just won't work on anything else (other than possibly w2k/me/98)
[03:41] <PMT> isilion, not even failsafe mode works?
[03:41] <paul68> !anyone
[03:41] <jrib> Uplink: try #physics
[03:41] <magicrobotmonkey> does the new flash 10 work on hulu for anyone?
[03:41] <isilion> grafixbadnow: me, but i think that my card its problematic in linux
[03:42] <ezzieyguywuf> jirb and PMT : thakns
[03:42] <FiReSTaRT> smil3y: otherwise, i'd be running Ubuntu and nothing else
[03:42] <grafixbadnow> isilion... there was a workaround, but the most recent updates seem to have disabled it. I don't know much about ubuntu/linux, so diagnosing the problem is difficult
[03:42] <isilion> PMT: i havent tried to run games in failsafe mode
[03:42] <PMT> Oh, okay, your problem only triggers with 3D. I thought it was on boot. That's far more debuggable. :)
[03:42] <isilion> PMT:  whatever driver works until show desktop and run 2d programs. but 3d freezes screen
[03:43] <peer`> NDISwrapper's install is telling me to log in as root, however I don't know the root password. I haven't fiddled with anything. Is there a default root password?
[03:43] <selocol> how do i override the "Bad: new password is too simple" when I try to change my password with "passwd". If I do sudo passwd, that changes the passwd of root, not the user's password I want to change. Thanks.
[03:43] <grafixbadnow> isilion & PMT... I had that problem with geforce 8200. could never run 3dd
[03:43] <jrib> peer`: are you installing ndiswrapper from the repositories?
[03:43] <peer`> what?
[03:43] <peer`> in the NDISwrapper install text file
[03:43] <magicrobotmonkey> selocol: try sudo passwd username
[03:43] <PMT> grafixbadnow - you enabled the non-free drivers and it crashed badly?
[03:43] <jrib> !wifi > peer`
[03:43] <peer`> it says cd to the ndiswrapper untar'd dir
[03:43] <genii> jrib: Apparently he's not
[03:43] <grim76> balz: What login shell do you have these users set to?
[03:44] <PMT> selocol - sudo passwd [user], but I wouldn't recommend overriding it, it really knows when it's too simple.
[03:44] <grafixbadnow> pmt... yes. i installed nvidia's driver. turning on 3d effects caused crash
[03:44] <soar> Hello. Completely new to Ubuntu/Linux and was just wondering how to go about installing a .rpm file?
[03:44] <b3lorixx> PMT, is tehre a gui for zmap, and if so how do i install it
[03:44] <selocol> magicrobotmonkey: thanks!
[03:44] <selocol> PMT: alright, thanks for the advice
[03:44] <isilion> grafixbadnow: it seems similar to my problem
[03:44] <b_> why is my computer running hot after ubuntu install? please help
[03:44] <jrib> soar: you don't.  You avoid them as ubuntu uses debs, not rpms.  What are you trying to install?
[03:44] <balz> grim76: i'm not sure.  To be honest, i'm not sure what a shell is
[03:44] <jrib> !software > soar
[03:44] <PMT> grafixbadnow - from envy, from ubuntu, or from nvidia?
[03:44] <fulat2k> hi folks, anyone here using Ubuntu on a Dell Studio 15?
[03:44] <grim76> balz: how did you setup the users?
[03:44] <tritium> grafixbadnow: use ubuntu-packaged nvidia drivers, not downloads from nvidia.com
[03:44] <grafixbadnow> pmt... driver was direct from nvidia.com
[03:44] <PMT> b3lorixx, there is a GUI, I forget what it's called.
[03:45] <PMT> grafixbadnow - what did glxinfo | head report?
[03:45] <grafixbadnow> tritium... i'm very new. i followed someone's post on a message board
[03:45] <PMT> b3lorixx, zenmap is probably what you'd like.
[03:45] <isilion> grafixbadnow:  i coulndt say if before it worked, because my videocard is new. i installed it yesterday
[03:45] <fyrmedic> I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from?
[03:45] <tritium> grafixbadnow: they led you astray.  Always use what ubuntu has packaged up for you.
[03:45] <peer`> I'm new to Linux, I'm just trying to get my wireless card working and everything I've read says to use NDISwrapper. I can't wget it because I have no internet on my laptop yet, so I'm trying to install it through make commands in the console. I just cd'd to the ndiswrapper dir and did 'make uninstall' then 'make', now the install text file is telling me to log in as root and type 'make install'
[03:45] <tritium> !nvidia | grafixbadnow
[03:45] <grafixbadnow> pmt..... "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"."
[03:45] <jrib> peer`: please read the docs I had ubottu send you
[03:46] <balz> grim76:  I'm using the user i made when i installed ubuntu.  Are you referring to something in the config file though?  I ask because i didn't specify any users in the config file
[03:46] <peer`> ( jrib ): is there anything there that pretains specifically to installing NDISwrapper offline?
[03:46] <PMT> grafixbadnow - this is the problem with installing drivers direct from nvidia on ubuntu. the ubuntu init stuff will automatically nuke some of the glx stuff from nvidia with its own on every boot, leading to the wrong glx version...and hilarity.
[03:46] <grafixbadnow> tritium... it's somewhat a moot point. since downloading last night's ubuntu updates, the graphics workaround i had no longer works. back to 800x600
[03:46] <FiReSTaRT> peer`: you need to use sudo for it to work
[03:46] <jrib> peer`: yes
[03:46] <peer`> ( jrib ): okay
[03:46] <grim76> balz: Ok so when you login as the user that you created at install that is the one that you get the error with?
[03:46] <jrib> peer`: and more importantly, it has documentation that may help you avoid using it altogether
[03:46] <peer`> ( FiReSTaRT ): wait, I can 'sudo make install' and that sould work?
[03:46] <balz> grim76:  yes
[03:46] <grafixbadnow> pmt & tritum... so I should get something direct from ubuntu. lesson learned. how do I go about it?
[03:47] <isilion> tritium: i did that howto yesterday and 3d not work at all
[03:47] <FiReSTaRT> peer`: yeah as long as it's been configured first
[03:47] <PMT> grafixbadnow - on hardy, apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-glx-new
[03:47] <b3lorixx> PMT, how would i scan a address for open port using nmap, ive never used it before, sorry if im being a pain
[03:47] <balz> grim76:  but i intend to create another user later
[03:47] <PMT> no wait you have a nice GUI
[03:47] <isilion> continues hanging up using 3d games
[03:47] <PMT> b3lorixx, nmap -p [port or range of ports] [host]
[03:47] <grafixbadnow> pmt... i'll give that a go and report back.
[03:47] <PMT> grafixbadnow - System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[03:48] <PMT> Then enable the nvidia drivers. It should automagically installed nvidia-common and so forth, and enable them in X, and tell you to reboot into a new world of wonder.
[03:48] <PMT> [Be sure to remove the envy drivers first, if they're around - I have no idea what will happen if they are.]
[03:48] <balz> grim76:  actually, if my current user doesn't work, that's fine.  I was just testing it out using that user.  The user I'm going to create is the only one that will be using FTP, so if it's easier to create a new user, that's fine.
[03:48] <omnomnOMINOUS> jrib: ok. it looks like this is the bug we're talking about: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libflashsupport/+bug/192888. thanks for the pointer!
[03:48] <grim76> balz: Are you seeing any error messages in /var/log/messages
[03:48] <FiReSTaRT> peer`: anyways i've gotta jet.. got some work stuff to finish and gotta get up at 5am.. good luck :)
[03:49] <hard^^> hi
[03:49] <omnomnOMINOUS> jrib: from http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/ it also looks like adobe released the release version of flash 10 this morning, so we'll see how that affects things.
[03:49] <omnomnOMINOUS> :0
[03:49] <joegeek> Im having trouble setting up my Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000,..  Im run`n kubuntu hardy on a ibm thinkpad t41p,...  I also have a Logitech Quickcam EC witch works fine in any software I want to run,..  however, the only software Ive been able to get the Pro 5000 to work on is webcamd, and even then the colors are way off,..   I need both of these cams to work simutanously,...
[03:49] <omnomnOMINOUS> :)
[03:49] <PMT> joegeek - what software would you like it to work with?
[03:50] <grafixbadnow> pmt.... i get error message from terminal: E: Couldn't find package nvidia-common
[03:50] <ezzieyguywuf> if i just right click the drive, go to drive>>settings and set the mount point, will that do the same as changing the label?
[03:50] <balz> grim76: no
[03:50] <grafixbadnow> in system>admin> there is no restricted driver manager. when i go into proprietary drivers, it says none are in use
[03:50] <PMT> Can you enable any?
[03:50] <ezzieyguywuf> also, how do i set them to automount, as once i set the label they no longer automount
[03:50] <joegeek> PMT: i dont know yet, but i know its not webcamd,...  im fix`n to do some timelapse video,..
[03:50] <PMT> If not, that's exciting.
[03:50] <fyrmedic> I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install. Apparently something has changed since the script isn't working now, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from?
[03:51] <PMT> joegeek - yeah, webcamd could, but probably shouldn't, do what you want.
[03:51] <grim76> balz: Are you using a firewall?  Also how are you trying to connect?  Have you restarted the vsftpd service?
[03:51] <JulioNeto> I'll install Flash Player 10 in my Ubuntu, which already has the Flash P. Player 9. Should I remove the 9 one before install the 10?
[03:52] <joegeek> PMT: any suggestions?
[03:52] <balz> grim76:  i'm trying to connect via fireFTP on the local network using a hostname.  There's no firewall on the internal network
[03:53] <grim76> balz: Ok try to connect from the command line.  I don't know anything about the fireftp client or how it works.
[03:53] <grafixbadnow> pmt & tritium... in the aforementioned workaround (that lead me astray), i vaguely remember doing something to force GLX not to work. I don't really know what that means, but it seems relevant now
[03:54] <PMT> I'd look at kdenlive, joegeek, but I have no idea off the top of my head.
[03:54] <PMT> grafixbadnow - that's exciting, and correct. Can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file somewhere? :)
[03:54] <PMT> [Rather - that's exciting, and you're correct, that is relevant.]
[03:54] <PMT> JulioNeto - yes, for the love of all you hold dear, uninstall Flash 9 first.
[03:55] <JulioNeto> :D
[03:55] <JulioNeto> tks!
[03:55] <fyrmedic>  I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install. Apparently something has changed since the script isn't working now, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from?
[03:55] <grafixbadnow> <with shame>  what's the terminal command to open a simple text editor to view xorg.conf?
[03:55] <fyrmedic> grafixbadnow: sudo gedit
[03:56] <joegeek> PMT: tnks,...  i take it your suggestion on my problem is, find the software i wanna use,..  then get my cam to work with it,..  correct?
[03:56] <fyrmedic> grafixbadnow: or sudo nano
[03:57] <PMT> joegeek - tragically, I have no precise experience with this. For time-lapse video, you might want to look at the ubuntu-multimedia repositories, but those aren't official, and are sometimes hit or miss with functionality. I'd recommend kdenlive and cinelerra as starting points as standard video editing programs.
[03:57] <PMT> The magic keyword you'd like to search for with your webcam's name or what you want to do is probably v4l2 or video4linux2.
[03:57] <fyrmedic> joegeek; what are trying to do with the camera
[03:57] <PMT> Also, vlc supports recording from v4l2 sources, so you can use that to record from the webcam and then find an editor program later, if you like.
[03:58] <theblue> Hi all.
[03:58] <undertaker>  :'(
[03:58] <theblue> I'm trying to use a USB storage device on a Thinkpad T60 with Hardy, and whenever I plug it in, it throws an error saying "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume."
[03:58] <hale3rd> hi
[03:59] <PMT> theblue - what does dmesg think you're trying, and what kind of filesystem is on the device?
[03:59] <fyrmedic>  I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install. Apparently something has changed since the script isn't working now, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from?
[03:59] <theblue> should be FAT., PMT
[03:59] <hale3rd> i have a dual boot vista/ubuntu.  i need to give vista more space.  can i just use gparted?
[03:59] <theblue> PMT: no clue how to check dmesg, though.
[03:59] <joegeek> PMT: tnks, I have a 5 DVD snapshot of the repoitories, as im on a 28.8 dial-up connection,...  one day, they'll run cable out here,..  maybe within the next two decades or so,...
[03:59] <dink>  danbh_intrepid: http://www.linux.com/articles/56588 I found the preceeding link helpful (if anyone if looking for similar hard drive recovery topics)
[04:00] <PMT> hale3rd - sort of. the caveat is that if you used ext3 as your root, ext3 doesn't like moving around very much.
[04:00] <PMT> joegeek - ouch, sorry to hear that. :(
[04:00] <genii> fyrmedic: Likely because file created in windows end with ^M
[04:00] <balz> grim76:  sorry i just saw your last message.  Command line is just ftp hostname, right?
[04:00] <theblue> joegeek: my sympathies to you.
[04:00] <hale3rd> hmm
[04:00] <hale3rd> ok
[04:00] <genii> fyrmedic: The end of each line that is
[04:00] <grim76> balz: yes
[04:00] <hale3rd> thank you
[04:00] <don_jr_KS> how can I install a .deb file?
[04:00] <jrib> don_jr_KS: of?
[04:00] <Hilikus> hey guys, whats the best FS to share a partition between ubuntu and windows?
[04:00] <balz> grim76:  that seems to have worked...
[04:00] <hale3rd> PMT: do you think i will destroy my drive using gparted?
[04:00] <PMT> Hilikus - I like vfat or ntfs-3g.
[04:00] <Hilikus> its all gonna be data only, no system stuff
[04:00] <grafixbadnow> pmt.... i dumped it on my old wikipedia usertalk page:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Feco#Code
[04:00] <fyrmedic> genii; I wrote the script in gedit. does that happen often?
[04:01] <balz> grim76:  it now says ftp>
[04:01] <PMT> hale3rd - not unless you "accidentally" tell it it can delete a partition. :)
[04:01] <grim76> balz: did you login?
[04:01] <jrib> Hilikus: or ext3 and a driver for windows to read it
[04:01] <joegeek> fyrmedic: fix`n to take time lapse video of my hydroponic garden,...  one cam on a close up, and one at a 6 foot distance,...
[04:01] <don_jr_KS> jrib I downloaded adobe flash player for ubuntu in a .deb file. I don't know how to install it properly
[04:01] <hale3rd> lol
[04:01] <joegeek> tnks theblue,..
[04:01] <jrib> !deb | don_jr_KS
[04:01] <hale3rd> ok, thanks!
[04:01] <Hilikus> jrib i thought of that, how good is that driver?
[04:01] <wartalker> how to set the init level
[04:01] <fyrmedic> joegeek; have you looked at zoneminder?
[04:01] <PMT> Cool.
[04:01] <jrib> Hilikus: works for me
[04:01] <genii> fyrmedic: Shouldn't. Usually see it when some script is imported from a windows box and made with notepad or such.
[04:01] <balz> grim76:  yes.  it prompted me for a user name and password and now it says "ftp>"
[04:01] <grim76> balz: ok do an ls -l
[04:01] <don_jr_KS> I click it once, it opens Ark with nothing inside it.
[04:02] <joegeek> fyrmedic: I've not looked at any software,...
[04:02] <jrib> wartalker: why?
[04:02] <hale3rd> PMT: last thing, does it matter how i set up dual boot?  i had ubuntu installed first.
[04:02] <balz> grim76:  let me pastebin
[04:02] <grim76> balz: ok
[04:02] <tritium> wartalker: there are only 3 that debian/ubuntu use: 0 (reboot), 1 (single-user), and 2.  You really only use 2 on a regular basis.
[04:02] <fyrmedic> genii; I figured that. I originally copied and pasted from a webpage. Then when the error started I re-entered by hand and still get it.
[04:02] <Hilikus> im kinda trying to avoid fat32 since its not very realiable so going with ext3 and a windows driver is my inclination
[04:02] <theblue> PMT: What should I do to get this to mount?
[04:03] <wartalker> tritium: if set 1, does it need the nvidia driver
[04:03] <balz> grim76:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/58158/
