[08:30] <tiyowan> pudidis: No problems. Don't use the recovery partition, because that will reset your hard disk to the way it was when it came from the vendor. As in, it'll wipe out Ubuntu and restore Windows XP completely. I don't think you should have any problems using the Media Center disc.
[08:30] <dman777> anyone use a macbook?
[08:30] <dsdeiz> uhm, just wanted to know how am i to use the font that was in the list in xfontsel
[08:30] <dsdeiz> i wanted to change my font in xterm
[08:31] <pudidis> tiyowan: Fantastic, I'll give it a shot then. Thanks a lot for your help. I'll try to look for the original disc
[08:31] <finlay> 	Room hackjllm have added channels to Oh
[08:31] <Mooms> Anyone know a good how to for vyatta configuration?
[08:31] <dsdeiz> xterm kept on saying that it is unable to open the font and switches back to "fixed"
[08:31] <tiyowan> pudidis: No problem - if chkdsk doesn't fix things for you, pop back in anytime.
[08:31] <dsdeiz> which is the default font i think
[08:31] <lotharn> anyone wanna help me troubleshoot dosemu
[08:32] <lotharn> ?
[08:32] <tiyowan> neil_d: Sorry for the delay. So about this pendrive...what brand is it?
[08:32] <pudidis> tiyowan: Sorry, I meant that I have Media Center installed, but it shouldn't make a difference what boot disk I use, right? As long as I can go into "recovery mode", correct?
[08:32] <lvlefisto> is there a shell command to log out from the current session?
[08:32] <matrixblue> dsdeiz, does this happen with just that font or have you tried other as well?
[08:32] <tiyowan> pudidis: That's right. As long as you can get into recovery mode and use chkdsk, it'll be fine.
[08:32] <neil_d> tiyowan: dont know, I havent ever seen it.
[08:32] <lucas2> hey. Does anybody know how I can find out if my ubuntu version is 32bit or 64bit?
[08:32] <dsdeiz> i've tried others as well
[08:32] <lvlefisto> i mean the current X session?
[08:33] <lstarnes> lucas2: uname -m
[08:33] <pudidis> tiyowan: Thanks, I'll give it a try now.
[08:33] <lucas2> lstarness: thanks.    it says i686    that's 32 bit right?
[08:33] <lstarnes> lucas2: ues
[08:33] <lstarnes> *yes
[08:33] <lucas2> bummer.

[08:39] <kazper> Who know, who are maked first IRC application?
[08:39] <lotharn> xarvh, everything runs ubuntu

[08:42] <lotharn> xarvh, for thee are guided in the ways of the linux.
[08:42] <xarvh> lotharn: ahah, ok, I'll check that
[08:42] <lotharn> xarvh, and lo, do see the wisdom of enterprise compatibility
[08:42] <balleyne> how can I upgrade from feisty to hardy (whether or not i have to upgrade to gutsy in between)? seems like repos are down since no longer supposed, do-release-upgrade fails
[08:42] <Myrtti> !upgrade | balleyne
[08:43] <matrixblue> balleyne, you have to upgrade to gutsy first. I'd just backup and do a reinstall
[08:43] <Mooms> anyone got knowledge about Vyatta distrib?
[08:43] <lotharn> xarvh, for support is the forbear of trust. and trust the forbear of business, and business the forbear of work, and work the forbear of love.
[08:44] <G_A_C> Mooms, I've used Vyatta a little bit (version 3 I think it was)
[08:44] <raghu125coorg> Mooms, I tried once, but shorewall is still the winner
[08:44] <tiyowan> balleyne: Skipping upgrades is discouraged.
[08:44] <balleyne> Myrtti, matrixblue: thanks, may try an EOL upgrade
[08:44] <Abracadabra> good morning
[08:44] <lotharn> xarvh, so it is inscribed that you shall purchase a lenovo umpc and love it, as it doth also submit to ubuntu.

[08:45] <bluegoon> ?
[08:45] <pudidis> tiyowan: Okay, I just tried it. Unfortunately, I'm told "The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems." Is there anything I can do to save this installation of windows?
[08:45] <Newbie-> I have downloaded a emerald theme, but when I am dragging and dropping it on theme window it says not a valid theme.

[08:45] <lotharn> yaris123456789, cause youre a tool
[08:45] <adi1> hi all. is there any plugin or something to download what you hear on radio or magnatune from rhythmbox??
[08:45] <Titan8990> yaris123456789, we supposed to guess what you were doing?
[08:45] <Mooms> raghu125coorg:   really? shorewall?
[08:45] <Myrtti> lotharn: mind your manners
[08:45] <G_A_C> yaris123456789: MySQL error, yeah? You probably either have the password wrong, or not specified, or access grants set wrong
[08:45] <G_A_C> there's no way of us iknowing though
[08:45] <G_A_C> since your question is too vague

[08:46] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yikes...hmmm. Okay, just hang on a moment.
[08:46] <lotharn> i'm drunk
[08:46] <matrixblue> Newbie-, you are using the emerald theme manager and not the regular one right?
[08:46] <lotharn> sorry
[08:46] <Mooms> G_A_C:  i need to use vyatta v5 as a dhcp dns and ids but i didn't found any good how to on the web
[08:46] <pudidis> tiyowan: Thanks a lot.

[08:47] <Myrtti> lotharn: not an excuse
[08:47] <mobi-sheep> !emerald | Newbie-
[08:47] <adi1> so i was wondering if there is something to download from magnatune
[08:47] <matrixblue> Newbie-, you have to install emerald
[08:47] <G_A_C> Mooms: I'm afraid I can't help, I played with Vyatta very briefly as a router, but I already provide DHCP and DNS services elsewhere on the network, I just tested Vyatta as an interconnect
[08:47] <theoriginal73> mi dice  server non valido
[08:47] <lotharn> Myrtti, amusing as it is do you know how i can print from a program from 1989?

[08:48] <xarvh> theoriginal73: come sei entrato in quetso canale?

[08:48] <bluegoon> Guys, in Thunderbird, in Jaunty, my Lightning addon's New Tasks is transperant, i cant click either New Event, New Tasks etc, its all transperant, any clues?  Sorry if this isnt too linux related, just hoping someone might be able to help...
[08:49] <Mooms> G_A_C: Ah oki, thanks anyways, i will continue my shearchs over google i guess
[08:49] <matrixblue> Newbie-, when it's installed the Emerald theme manager will appear in the Preferences Menu
[08:49] <lotharn> Myrtti, and as a sysadmin, someone handing one a  comment from some app without context is sort of pointless.
[08:49] <G_A_C> Mooms: good luck, hope you find the information you're looking for :)
[08:49] <xarvh> theoriginal73: ok, vedi se invece di connetterti ad #ubuntu riesci a connetterti ad #ubuntu-it
[08:49] <matrixblue> and your theme then run emerald --replace
[08:49] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay, do you hear any clicking or whirring noises coming from your hard drive?
[08:49] <tarskial> whats up linux geeks
[08:49] <Newbie-> gotcha!
[08:49] <lotharn> hmm?
[08:49] <Myrtti> lotharn: no, I don't know how to print from such an app
[08:50] <pudidis> tiyowan: Hm, not any particular ones. Should I be listening when attemtping to start up windows?
[08:50] <Newbie-> matrixblue: I have importe theme in its Manager how to apply?
[08:50] <raghu125coorg> Mooms, http://www.vyatta.org/documentation ...may help you
[08:50] <Myrtti> !hi | tarskial
[08:50] <Clouse> I think I worked it all out, thanks guys ans gals and sorry for all the questions
[08:50] <tiyowan> pudidis: Not really - it's a fairly constant noise. I'm worried because unrecoverable errors in chkdsk are usually a sign of impending hard drive failure. Can you access the file you've got stored on your windows partition from Ubuntu?
[08:51] <yaris123456789> Host 'asdf' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
[08:51] <yaris123456789> i checked that its listening
[08:51] <lotharn> anyone available for one on one hot and heavy sweaty dos trobleshooting?
[08:51] <yaris123456789> also resetted mysql and apache
[08:51] <matrixblue> Newbie-, alt +f2 then emerald --replace
[08:51] <yaris123456789> edited mysql.user to accept all domains
[08:51] <yaris123456789> im stumped
[08:51] <pudidis> tiyowan: I can open the partition, yes, without a problem. I'll try now to log into Ubuntu and see if I can open files and such.
[08:52] <ikonia> yaris123456789: did you do a fllush privilges
[08:52] <matrixblue> Newbie-, you have to add that emerald --replace command to the window decorator in Compiz Manager to use emerald by default
[08:52] <tarskial> what's the best programming language, let's start the flame wars!
[08:52] <lotharn> Myrtti, how about you?
[08:52] <ikonia> lotharn: DOS as in the OS or denial of service ?
[08:52] <lotharn> os
[08:52] <ikonia> lotharn: nothing to do with this channel, please don't ask
[08:52] <lotharn> or the other if you prefer
[08:52] <Mooms> raghu125coorg: thanks you man i been on that website alredy but ty tough
[08:52] <ikonia> lotharn: this channel is for ubuntu support only - pleae keep to that topic
[08:53] <tarskial> ikonia, DOS is an OS, DoS is denial of service
[08:53] <Newbie-> done.
[08:53] <Newbie-> but the wallpapers not changed
[08:53] <ikonia> tarskial: I'm well aware of what they are, I'm asking for clarification to the question
[08:53] <pudidis> tiyowan: Could the problem be perhaps that I was using a Windows xp Professional CD on an xp media center edition installation?
[08:53] <lotharn> ikonia, this is in regards to dos2unix
[08:53] <matrixblue> Newbie-, you have to change the wallpaper yourself. Emerald is just a window decorator
[08:53] <lotharn> ikonia, and the dosemu package
[08:53] <ikonia> lotharn: what is the question then ?
[08:54] <Newbie-> Hmm.. So I have to download wallpaper and change my self the wallpaper i saw in Theme was just a cool screen shot and nothing else.
[08:54] <Titan8990> pudidis, windows is very picky about discs and types
[08:54] <tiyowan> pudidis: I really don't think so. chkdsk is a program that doesn't care about the different editions of windows. It analyzes the hard drive on a lower-level for errors.
[08:54] <Titan8990> pudidis, oh, for chkdsk from recovery console, no
[08:54] <lotharn> ikonia, i have a file that is filled with ^Ms that is preventing printing
[08:54] <matrixblue> Newbie-, seems so
[08:54] <ikonia> lotharn: ok, so dos2unix will remove that
[08:55] <sree45> how to make c++ script run in start up
[08:55] <ikonia> sree45: c++ is not a script
[08:55] <lotharn> ikonia, this is not the case.
[08:55] <pudidis> tiyowan: Hm, I figured. Well, I'll try to access the partition now.
[08:55] <finlay> http://www.hackjllm.cn
[08:55] <pudidis> Thanks, Titan8990.
[08:55] <dsdeiz> i already installed console-terminus how come it isn't being listed in xfontsel? :(
[08:55] <yaris123456789> ikonia: flush privleges ?
[08:55] <lotharn> ikonia, this is not the case.
[08:55] <sree45> some thing atleast a python script
[08:55] <yaris123456789> ikonia: how do i do that ?
[08:55] <ikonia> yaris123456789: from the mysql prompt "flush privileges"
[08:55] <Niels_> Has anyone got an idea how to install VBox on a Jaunty Server ?
[08:55] <Newbie-> Now, I want to change the Start bar "Applications, Places, System"
[08:55] <tiyowan> pudidis: It looks like you installed Ubuntu at a good time, actually. Because I'd recommend using Ubuntu to back up all the important data from your Windows partition as soon as possible.
[08:56] <yaris123456789> whats with the ban ?
[08:56] <Myrtti> yaris123456789: is it any of your business? move on
[08:56] <matrixblue> Newbie-, what exact you wanna do to it?
[08:56] <dsdeiz> i already installed console-terminus how come it isn't being listed in xfontsel? :(
[08:56] <lotharn> ikonia, as far as dos2unix is concerned the file passes through it transparently
[08:56] <ikonia> lotharn: what synatax are you using ?
[08:56] <yaris123456789> Myrtti: chill out man ;D
[08:56] <dsdeiz> anyone again? hehehe
[08:56] <Myrtti> yaris123456789: ENOPARSE. move on
[08:57] <lotharn> ikonia, -a
[08:57] <ikonia> lotharn: please show me the exact command you're using ?
[08:57] <tiyowan> pudidis: And then, if you're comfortable with it, I'd have you burn something like the Ultimate Boot CD to a disc and then using one of the tools to do a thorough hard drive fitness check.
[08:57] <lotharn> fromdos -a file
[08:57] <yaris123456789> Myrtti: okay :)
[08:57] <pudidis> tiyowan Okay, so it looks like my hdd is dying, huh?
[08:57] <Myrtti> tiyowan: smartmontools
[08:57] <ikonia> lotharn: fromdos is nothing to do with dos2unix
[08:57] <pudidis> tiyowan That's odd. Maybe it didn't like the defrag I did on it yesterday.
[08:57] <lotharn> yeah its a wrapper
[08:57] <Myrtti> !info smartmontools | tiyowan, pudidis
[08:57] <yaris123456789> alright i flushed privs
[08:57] <tiyowan> pudidis: I'm afraid so. Hang on - brb.
[08:57] <yaris123456789> hope it works
[08:58] <pudidis> tiyowan: Sure, thanks again.
[08:58] <ikonia> lotharn: there is no need for a wrapper - it's a straight command
[08:58] <lotharn> tofromdos is the ubuntu
[08:58] <yaris123456789> damn it! it still wont let me connect.host is not allowed to connect to mysql
[08:58] <ikonia> lotharn: just use dos2unix
[08:58] <ikonia> yaris123456789: what grant command did you use ?
[08:58] <lotharn> ikonia, trying
[08:58] <tiyowan> pudidis: I'll be back in fifteen minutes. Hang on, please.

[09:00] <yaris123456789> ikonia: grant all priveleges

[09:00] <yaris123456789> hold on
[09:00] <lotharn> how do i slip that into the print spool
[09:01] <ikonia> lotharn: you don't - a print spooler does not execute scripts
[09:01] <lotharn> ikonia, its got to go somewhere.
[09:01] <Newbie-> I downloaded a Compiz theme from gnome look, how can i install it?

[09:04] <stevecam> is it possible to copy the instalation files onto a hard drive, so i can run the setup on another computer without a cdrom or usb stick
[09:05] <tiyowan> pudidis: That's certainly good news. All right, do you have an external drive handy?
[09:05] <yaris123456789> ikonia: it just hangs
[09:05] <Newbie-> matrixblue: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Terminator+Salvation+Theme?content=105941
[09:05] <ikonia> define just hangs - never comes back from the command prompt ?
[09:05] <pudidis> tiyowan: Just a sec, I need to see.
[09:05] <daniele> server irc.oltreirc.net
[09:05] <yaris123456789> ikonia: right after i enter password. cursor just blinks
[09:05] <matrixblue> elena09, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:06] <lstarnes> .22
[09:06] <lstarnes> oops
[09:06] <ikonia> yaris123456789: Hmmmm I wonder if your name resolution is a problem also
[09:06] <pudidis> tiyowan: yes, I have one. Does it need to fit the whole partition or just the files I want?
[09:06] <ikonia> yaris123456789: looks like you may have to put mysql into recovery mode and reset the permissions correctly
[09:07] <tiyowan> pudidis: I'd get all the important files, you know. Documents, pictures, etc.
[09:07] <lotharn> ikonia, back
[09:07] <pudidis> tiyowan: Sure. Fortunately most of those are already backed up onto an external.
[09:08] <matrixblue> Newbie-, cool theme. No idea how to install a compiz theme though, sorry
[09:08] <ikonia> lotharn: ok
[09:08] <Newbie-> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/i-winwrap+(Animated+Desktop+Script)?content=104823
[09:08] <elena09> matrixblue: I am reinstalling it from Live CD just now. After that I'll try to set the native rezolution according to specifications. I don't understand, your command, where should I type it if the screen will be frozen?
[09:09] <yaris123456789> *facepalm
[09:09] <matrixblue> elena09, I misunderstood
[09:09] <pudidis> tiyowan Should I then reinstall Windows? Or use the backup partition?
[09:09] <tiyowan> pudidis: That's very good. :) Just copy the rest of the important stuff over, and then we'll see what to do next. At this point, I'd use Ultimate Boot CD to do the diagnostic tests - but Myrtti's pointed out the smartmontools package. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with that, but if you've got some time on your hands, we could get that setup and use that to scan the hard drive.
[09:10] <alex_> run
[09:10] <tiyowan> pudidis: Na, don't reinstall Windows after finishing the backup. What you need to do is use a low-level tool to check your hard drive. To find out exactly what's wrong.
[09:10] <pudidis> tiyowan: Ah, right. So this Ultimate Boot CD, do I need to download it?
[09:11] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yep, you can get the iso from www.ultimatebootcd.com. Burn that onto a disc, and boot from that to run the hard drive checking tools.
[09:11] <Knirgh> I'm having some troubles with restoring grub. I originially have XP, then installed ubuntu and lastly installed another copy of XP, this overwrote GRUB and i can't get it back. i get Error 22 when i try to install grub from a liveCD. http://paste.ubuntu.com/186333/
[09:12] <Titan8990> Knightlust, are you aware hd0,5 is first disc, 6th partition?
[09:12] <pudidis> tiyowan: Okay, I'll download that.
[09:13] <Ryan_Delaney> using jaunty x64. Having problems downloading a package thats allegedly in the universe repo: command line says it is "not available, but referred by another package."
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[09:14] <Ryan_Delaney> any ideas?
[09:14] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yeah. It has a lot of tools for checking hard drives. It could be a minor problem with the partition table that could be fixed using TestDisk, or it could be something major. But it's best to find out now and take appropriate steps. Because if your HD is indeed dying, then it's best that you know now.
[09:14] <tiyowan> Hey ActionParsnip :)
[09:14] <Knirgh> Titan8990: You mean that it's just the temporary livecd filesystem? i cannot mount my ubuntu partition, it's ext4
[09:14] <pudidis> tiyowan: Yeah, sooner the better.
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> pudidis: the ultiate boot cd contains tools from the major hdd manufacturers to test their own drives
[09:15] <Titan8990> Knirgh, no, im saying that you are specifying it as the SIXTH partition on the disc
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: wassup?
[09:15] <Ryan_Delaney> using jaunty x64. Having problems downloading a package thats allegedly in the universe repo: command line says it is "not available, but referred by another package."
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: ok, which package?
[09:15] <Titan8990> Knirgh, is that correct?
[09:15] <Ryan_Delaney> http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/zsnes
[09:16] <tiyowan> pudidis: Do you know what brand your hard drive is?
[09:16] <Knirgh> Titan8990: Well, i was following a guide that told me to do find /boot/grub/stage1 and use the output in the following commands
[09:16] <pudidis> tiyowan: No, it came with the computer. I'll check online, maybe HP will tell me
[09:16] <matrixblue> Ryan_Delaney, make sure you have the universe repos enabled
[09:16] <Newbie-> How can I Install iwinwrap_0-2-2.tar.gz
[09:16] <pizzledizzle> what does the "sw" option do in fstab for swap entry?
[09:16] <tiyowan> pudidis: What model is your computer? I'll check for you.
[09:17] <creature1> how do you get dmesg to show up on desktop transparently?
[09:17] <Titan8990> Knirgh, is ubuntu on a single partition?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: ive been here before. try accessing http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/zsnes/download and downloading the deb. then run: sudo dpkg -i <deb file name here>; sudo apt-get -f install
[09:17] <axxc> lo fellas
[09:17] <Ryan_Delaney> matrixblue: all repos are enabled, would you like a screenshot?
[09:17] <matrixblue> Ryan_Delaney, sure (I use zsnses)
[09:17] <pudidis> tiyowan: Thanks, it's "Hp pavilion a1540n"
[09:17] <Ryan_Delaney> http://www.fopedush.com/upload/malathion/repos.png
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Newbie-: sounds like source code to me. you can extract it with   tar zxvf iwinwrap_0-2-2.tar.gz
[09:17] <safruhani> can u recommend another text editor instead of gedit on gnome?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Newbie-: you'd be better of finding a repo with it already compiled
[09:18] <Ryan_Delaney> safruhani: nano :D
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> safruhani: leafpad
[09:18] <safruhani> yes leafpad
[09:18] <Knirgh> Titan8990: I have 19G mounted on / and 2G linux-swap
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> !info leafpad
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> !info mousepad
[09:18] <Knirgh> This is my fdisk -l if it helps http://paste.ubuntu.com/186337/
[09:18] <Newbie-> ActionParsnip: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/i-winwrap+(Animated+Desktop+Script)?content=104823 I'
[09:18] <Titan8990> Knirgh, pastebin fdisk -l
[09:18] <Newbie-> I am trying to install this ActionParsnip
[09:18] <Titan8990> Knirgh, err sudo fdisk -l
[09:19] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: install failed. package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[09:19] <Knirgh> Titan8990: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186337/
[09:19] <mac|gyve1> what would the reason be of grub error 18?
[09:20] <safruhani> ActionParsnip: thank you so much
[09:20] <Titan8990> Knirgh, root should be hd0,4
[09:20] <matrixblue> Ryan_Delaney, my guess is that they don't have a 64 bit version of it......that sucks
[09:20] <mac|gyve1> oh I got it, brb
[09:20] <Ryan_Delaney> :|
[09:20] <Ryan_Delaney> am I going to have to run this in virtualbox :|
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Newbie-: then compile, they have debs i ngetdeb for intrepid and hardy
[09:20] <matrixblue> Ryan_Delaney, or find another snes emulator
[09:20] <Titan8990> Knirgh, you don't have a hd0,5
[09:21] <Ryan_Delaney> AFAIK zsnes is by far the best one
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Newbie-: if you are not comfortable or familiar with compiling i suggest you hunt out a repo
[09:21] <Newbie-> ActionParsnip: How?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> safruhani: np man, gedit is slooow :)
[09:21] <Ryan_Delaney> http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Newbie-: websearches
[09:21] <G_A_C> I thought you could run 32bit software on a 64bit Ubuntu installation? :(
[09:21] <matrixblue> Ryan_Delaney, trying running the windows version under WINE
[09:21] <Newbie-> ActionParsnip: Not sure, I think I can't!
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Newbie-: http://www.getdeb.net/app/xwinwrap
[09:21] <elena09> I installed Ubuntu a second ago, without Internet connection. Can't change the resolution and refresh rate
[09:21] <mobi-sheep> Ryan_Delaney: aptitude search snes
[09:22] <Ryan_Delaney> I did that, but I want to use zsnes
[09:22] <Ryan_Delaney> I'm gonna try it with getlibs first
[09:22] <Knirgh> Titan8990: now i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186338/
[09:22] <mobi-sheep> !chroot
[09:22] <mobi-sheep> G_A_C: See above for 32-bit in 64-bit.
[09:22] <matrixblue> elena09, did you enable proprietary drivers?
[09:23] <Newbie-> ActionParsnip: I have Jaunty but they have Hardy and interpd
[09:23] <n0gear2> .
[09:23] <flux_> hey help me i feel stupid ^^ an hour ago i understood this proof. let p in N be prime. for any a,b in Z: p|ab => p|a or p|b. the proof then uses euklid algorithm to show that if p NOT | a, then there are a', b' in Z with a'p+b'a=1, thus enforcing p|(a'p+ba)b - i do not get, why p|ab seemingly implies p|(a'p+b'a)b ( | means "divides")
[09:23] <Ryan_Delaney> ...lol.?
[09:23] <flux_> wrong chan :>
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> Newbie-: could try the intrepid one. for better results try finding a jaunty repo with it on or compile (can get messy but is fun)
[09:24] <pudidis> tiyowan: I've burned the cd, but I'm currently moving files off my hard drive, going to take about 30 min
[09:24] <Ryan_Delaney> how can I find out where a package installed its files?
[09:24] <Ryan_Delaney> specifically, where is zsnes installed
[09:24] <Titan8990> Knirgh, its because you are using a kernel that does not have support for the filesystem grub is installed on
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: due to the nature of linux it is not installed to a single folder
[09:24] <tiyowan> pudidis: That's great. Is your hard drive capacity 250GB?
[09:24] <kenyon> Ryan_Delaney: dpkg -L pkgname
[09:24] <BigMack83> i serve all my web stuff out of /home/public_html but after adding a new user and they login via ftp (using ssh) they cant loging because it says they dont have permissions to view that folder. the folder is owned by bigmack83:www-data , and the other users are members of the www-data group
[09:24] <elena09> matrixblue: no
[09:24] <matrixblue> Ryan_Delaney, usually /usr/bin
[09:24] <Titan8990> Knirgh, use the 9.04 livecd
[09:24] <Ryan_Delaney> thanks kenyon
[09:25] <alyoshka> what is the correct way to enable horizontal scrolling with a touchpad in (K)Ubuntu 9.04? I know I can put the thing in xorg.conf, but since Xorg now autoconfigurates, shouldn't there be a better way to enable it (eg. with a shell command)?
[09:25] <BigMack83> the perms on the public_html folder are 775
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: there is the binary you will use in /usr/bin but there will be libs and other files scattered all through the file system
[09:25] <Knirgh> Titan8990: i am using ubuntu 9.04 liveCD, my ubuntu installation is also 9.04 with ext4 filesystem
[09:25] <matrixblue> elena09, try doing that
[09:25] <elena09> matrixblue: No proprieatry drivers are in use
[09:25] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: I think kenyon got it
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: linux doesnt install stuff to a single folder like windows does as libs and other files are shareable with multiple apps
[09:25] <Ryan_Delaney> I get taht
[09:25] <pudidis> tiyowan: Yes, that's the one.
[09:25] <Titan8990> Knirgh, you said a second ago you couldn't mount the partition because it was ext4....
[09:25] <Ryan_Delaney> Looks like the binary didnt install. Wine is next...
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: i'm just explaining the way linux / bsd allocate files
[09:26] <Ryan_Delaney> Yeah, I understand it, but thanks
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: np man
[09:26] <Titan8990> Knirgh, but it really doesn't matter
[09:26] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay, looks like you've got a hard drive from Seagate. Ok, so we'll need to use the SeaTools that are on the Ultimate Boot CD.
[09:26] <concerta> ALOUWWW
[09:26] <pudidis> tiyowan: Thanks a lot for your help.
[09:27] <alyoshka> so, is there a way to enable a touchpad to scroll horrizontaly without hardcoding the touchpad in xorg.conf in 9.04?
[09:27] <Ryan_Delaney> Ehh, looks like zsnes works perfectly in WINE
[09:27] <Titan8990> Knirgh, try it again from a new grub prompt
[09:27] <Titan8990> Knirgh, without the incorrect commands
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: theres snes9x i believe
[09:27] <pudidis> tiyowan: I really hope it's just a problem with the partition being ugly on my drive. I was having trouble doing the partition and always getting an error from Ubuntu's live cd when I would try to install it. Then I defragged the drive and it worked.
[09:27] <Knirgh> Titan8990: in nautilus it says "unable to mount location"
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> !find snes
[09:27] <Titan8990> Knirgh, GUIs are lame
[09:27] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: Yes, but I want to use zsnes
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: then you got some fun ahead of you
[09:28] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: Why? it looks like it works fine in wine
[09:28] <chris__> can some one tell me why znes stoped working for me
[09:28] <tiyowan> pudidis: No problem. :) Yeah, I hope so too. Approximately how old is your machine?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: try it is all i can ask
[09:28] <Ryan_Delaney> Do you expect it to fail?
[09:28] <Knirgh> Titan8990: this might be more detailed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/186342/
[09:28] <pudidis> About 3 years, now. 3 years in September.
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: in my experience yes. i always compile it personally but thats me
[09:29] <Ryan_Delaney> Welp I'm going to try it.
[09:29] <Ryan_Delaney> Now I just have to find where I put those roms...
[09:29] <Titan8990> Knirgh, looks like you may have problems with the filesystem
[09:29] <pudidis> tiyowan: Sorry, about three years now.
[09:29] <Titan8990> Knirgh, sudo fsck /dev/sda5
[09:29] <matrixblue> Ryan_Delaney, lemme know how is goes. I run a DS emulator though WINE and it works perfectly
[09:30] <chris__> does any one now how to fix wine i cant get desktop to come up
[09:30] <tiyowan> pudidis: Hard drive should be ok, then. Anyway, we'll see what SeaTools reports. If it's something wrong with the partition table, then there's enough weaponry on the Boot CD to hopefully fix that and get your Windows back.
[09:30] <Titan8990> chris__, how is problems wine and your desktop even related?
[09:31] <chris__> i am new to all this
[09:31] <Knirgh> Titan8990: Thanks, i now mounted my ubuntu partition
[09:31] <indus> chris__: hello
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> chris__: did you use the wine repo to install it? You don't get a desktop with wine, wine lets you run win32 apps only. It doesnt give yu a windows desktop
[09:31] <pudidis> tiyowan: Oh that would be fantastic.
[09:31] <rags> Hello, How to do Wan Load sharing over multiple interfaces??
[09:31] <zortec> I'm having trouble getting WoW to run on Wine... without any bugs
[09:31] <chris__> i cant get wine to load any exe
[09:31] <Titan8990> !appdb | zortec
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> chris__: if you want that, you will need something like vmware or virtualbox and a full install of windows from a windows cd
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | chris__
[09:32] <Pici> Please join and ask in #winehq for running applications under wine.  We can only really help with getting Wine installed in the first place.
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> chris__: make sure you use this version of wine: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[09:32] <chris__> well ok
[09:32] <matrixblue> night peeps
[09:33] <chris__> how about problems with znes
[09:33] <Ryan_Delaney> chris__ how about them
[09:33] <bkraptor> anyone know how to remove ipv6 from jaunty?
[09:33] <rags> I have two AdSL lines and I need a way to balance my internet traffic between them. Is it possible?
[09:33] <Ryan_Delaney> chris__ there is no zsnes amd64 package in the repositories
[09:33] <Ryan_Delaney> is there anyone who should be notified of that btw?
[09:33] <Titan8990> bkraptor, ipv6 is built in to the networking stack of the kernel
[09:33] <chris__> i was playing a rom and now znes wont even open any more
[09:33] <bkraptor> I know that. any way to disable for an interface?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: if you want to install 32bit debs you can install ia32libs
[09:34] <tiyowan> pudidis: Your Windows installation was working fine before you installed Ubuntu right? Didn't notice any unusual errors, blue screens, etc.?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: then you can install the 32bit deb and it will run
[09:34] <Ryan_Delaney> why didnt you say so :P
[09:34] <pudidis> tiyowan: No, none, no problems.
[09:34] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: : Couldn't find package ia32libs
[09:34] <pudidis> tiyowan: I had just finished the defrag and went straight to try again to install Ubuntu.
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: i'm unable to second guess every possibility, sorry
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: apt-cache search ia32
[09:34] <Ryan_Delaney> I dont know what that means
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: one will be named li
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> *lib
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> !find ia32
[09:34] <Ryan_Delaney> ia32-libs
[09:35] <tiyowan> pudidis: What was the Ubuntu installer complaining about originally?
[09:35] <Knirgh> Titan8990: I still cannot install GRUB. any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/186345/
[09:35] <dsdeiz> !info ia32-libs
[09:35] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: ia32-libs is already the newest version.
[09:35] <Ryan_Delaney> sweet
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: there you go, you can now install 32bit debs using dpkg and --force-arch
[09:35] <Ryan_Delaney> No, it was already installed.
[09:35] <theoriginal73> mi ridate il link per ita
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: or --force-all
[09:35] <indus> sudo dpkg -install --force architecture <package name>
[09:35] <pudidis> tiyowan: When I would try to do the partition resize I would get an error saying something like "Could not resize partition. Operation aborted" after it would not move from 0%.
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: you will need to run: sudo apt-get -f install   to install its deps
[09:36] <dsdeiz> how come ubottu didn't display it? :S
[09:36] <Ryan_Delaney> I did that, it didnt work. It crashes with segmentation fault
[09:36] <Ryan_Delaney> hmm
[09:36] <Ryan_Delaney> I didnt do that
[09:36] <indus> sudo dpkg --install --force architecture <package name>
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: dpkg doesnt install deps, thats apt's job
[09:36] <fland> hello, here is the proble on ubuntu server not working network, ifconfing see interface eth1 with corerct settings but only my machine can be pinged

[09:36] <ActionParsnip> indus: its --force-architecture ;)
[09:36] <theoriginal73> come faccio a parlare in italiano
[09:36] <indus> ActionParsnip: damn !
[09:36] <Titan8990> Knirgh, oh....
[09:37] <Titan8990> Knirgh, you added a partition IN FRONT of the ubuntu partition i'm guessing?
[09:37] <Ryan_Delaney> indus: Crashes with segmentation fault
[09:37] <indus> Ryan_Delaney: what crashes
[09:37] <Ryan_Delaney> zsnes
[09:37] <Knirgh> Titan8990: if "IN FRONT" is "after", then yes
[09:37] <theoriginal73> chi mi legge
[09:37] <Knirgh> Titan8990: Oh. yes. Before and after
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: its a whole chock of fun getting zsnes nice. I suggest you find an alternative if you dont get anywhere, there are lots of alternatives
[09:37] <Titan8990> Knirgh, after? your ubuntu partition is the last on the disc...
[09:37] <Ryan_Delaney> No thanks
[09:38] <Ryan_Delaney> If push comes to shove I'll run it on virtualbox
[09:38] <Titan8990> Knirgh, anyways, thats going to throw off your grub config
[09:38] <Titan8990> Knirgh, you need to fix menu.lst on the ubuntu partition
[09:38] <indus> Ryan_Delaney: maybe try the forums for znes install
[09:38] <Godel-Paradox> guys
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: then have fun. I think a full VM just for zsnes is a bit much, thats a tonne of bloat
[09:38] <Titan8990> Knirgh, to point to the new root
[09:38] <Ryan_Delaney> I have a virtualbox already for other purposes
[09:39] <Ryan_Delaney> Not trying to be ungrateful here but it's better not to argue with people about what they want to do :P
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: its an option, not a very good one but heyho
[09:39] <kraut> moin
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: its healthy to understand there are alternatives and digging heels in is counter productive
[09:39] <Ryan_Delaney> I have 6gb of ram. I don't care about overhead
[09:39] <pudidis> tiyowan: About 20 minutes left in the backing up.
[09:39] <Knirgh> Do you want me to paste menu.lst? i have no idea how to do that
[09:39] <Ryan_Delaney> and it's a snes emulator. not exactly a cpu intensive process
[09:40] <Titan8990> Knirgh, if you can't edit it yourself, i guess
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: sure, but running a whole VM is
[09:40] <Ryan_Delaney> ...is not a big deal at all and not a problem, whereas arguing about whether I should run one is a complete waste of time
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: you're talking about booting windows for the sake of a snes emu.
[09:40] <tiyowan> pudidis: The installer was probably complaining about a problem that was already present in the filesystem before. Running defrag enabled you to install Ubuntu, but I doubt it fixed the actual problem itself. It could be a problem with the boot sector. Definitely fixable. Ok, I'll wait.
[09:40] <Ryan_Delaney> No, as I told you before, I already had it installed for other purposes.
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: I'm just stressing there is a far better option

[09:41] <Ryan_Delaney> Not really, since I want to use zsnes
[09:41] <pudidis> tiyowan: Thanks a lot.
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: your call dude. i think its a huge bloat
[09:41] <Ryan_Delaney> Yes, it is my call
[09:41] <Ryan_Delaney> Look at it this way: I dont want to leave my RAM to go to waste
[09:41] <Knirgh> Titan8990: Just to clarify, i had a windows 7 install before, but overwrote it with XP. Sorry that i didnt mention it earlier http://paste.ubuntu.com/186346/
[09:42] <jway> is there a way to mute/unmute sound from the console?
[09:42] <Ryan_Delaney> Tbh I appreciate your help but I dont come here for a debate about this kind of thing, its very pointless
[09:42] <jway> using default pulse driver
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: in linux its not, its used as drive cache to make your disks run faster
[09:42] <Ryan_Delaney> What is?
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: your ram
[09:42] <tiyowan> pudidis: No problem at all. Ping me when you're done backing up.
[09:43] <Ryan_Delaney> so my disk will run slower when I run snes? I'm supposed to care why?
[09:43] <zortec_> This really annoying, every time I reboot I lose my audio...
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: if apps aint using it it will be used as cache, the cache size will change as you run more apps
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: i never said you did.  Its all in use right now
[09:44] <zortec_> I have audio in rhythmbox, but no audio in Firefox... odd
[09:44] <Ryan_Delaney> Lol, get help
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: and keep it family friendly, ops dont like swears
[09:44] <tiyowan> !language | Ryan_Delaney
[09:44] <Titan8990> Knirgh, use blkid and compare the UUID of your linux partition with the one in the grub file
[09:44] <tiyowan> Ryan_Delaney: Additionally, that's not a very helpful attitude to adopt when people are trying to help you.
[09:45] <Titan8990> Knirgh, dc7f9ce1-ea3f-458c-92e3-f3bbe2587829
[09:45] <Ryan_Delaney> He's not helping, he's arguing with me that I dont want to do what I do want to do.
[09:45] <G_A_C> tiyowan: OTOH, should people in here be preaching to others what they should be doing?
[09:45] <G_A_C> Ryan asked "how do I do X?" not "should I do X?"
[09:45] <Knirgh> Titan8990: /dev/sda5: UUID="dc7f9ce1-ea3f-458c-92e3-f3bbe2587829" TYPE="ext4"
[09:46] <fallore> i need help splitting my harddrive, which only has windows installed on it (i'm on a dif hdd on right now), into partitions.
[09:46] <Titan8990> Knirgh, that is correct, and on that note I am stumped....
[09:46] <Ryan_Delaney> fallore: gparted on ubuntu livecd?
[09:46] <Ryan_Delaney> back up your data...
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> !info gparted
[09:46] <fallore> Ryan_Delaney: can you not use gparted on an ubuntu install?
[09:46] <Ryan_Delaney> fallore: You dont want to edit partitions on a disk thats running your O/S.. heh
[09:47] <fallore> this OS isn't on the disk i want to edit, Ryan_Delaney
[09:47] <Ryan_Delaney> fallore: safer to run it off the livecd if you can
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: i wasnt teling you what you want to do. I was suggesting better alternatives to stress the system less, tats all
[09:47] <Titan8990> fallore, no, you can't alter mounted partitions
[09:47] <Ryan_Delaney> faller:All right, well then you can do it that way. Just unmount the disk and edit the partitions
[09:47] <Titan8990> fallore, if its on a seperate disc, go for it
[09:47] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: Let it go dude
[09:47] <fallore> Titan8990: i'm trying to alter an unmounted partition
[09:47] <DarthPuff> hello
[09:47] <sidh> i have no sound on ubuntu 9.04 with alsa, but the soundcard seems to be recognized, i made a test with alsa-info.sh : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9bdd347da567dcdc9be04d50cc6c9d8e72efae6d , does someone could help me to fix that ?
[09:47] <tiyowan> G_A_C: I doubt anyone is here is compelled to do something that they don't want to. :)
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: i'm not having you saying I did something i didnt
[09:48] <Ryan_Delaney> ActionParsnip: You're going to have to find some way to deal with it because I've moved on
[09:48] <DarthPuff> i'm using hal and have an sd card auto-mounting
[09:48] <DarthPuff> how do i make it read-write for users?
[09:48] <zortec_> To fix the problem with no audio in firefox, I installed this package if anyone has the same problem: sudo apt-get sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[09:48] <DarthPuff> when it mounts
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: btw, regarding ram use etc: read this please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051144
[09:48] <Ryan_Delaney> No thanks, not interested
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: thought not, ignorance is bliss eh
[09:48] <Knirgh> Titan8990: Maybe this is a hint, i cannot see my partitions in gparted, does this mean my partition table is messed up?
[09:48] <Ryan_Delaney> Yes. Now let's move on
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> go ahead
[09:48] <Titan8990> Knirgh, did you get a lot of errors with fsck when you ran it?
[09:49] <PointMan> if im using raid 1, how can I see when one of the hdds fail?
[09:49] <fallore> my gparted isn't seeing my other HDD, how can i fix this?
[09:49] <Knirgh> Titan8990: about 5 that i accepted to fix
[09:49] <fallore> nevermind i got it
[09:49] <G_A_C> PointMan: mdadm if it's software RAID (I think)
[09:49] <Titan8990> Knirgh, run it again and see if the errors reappear, thats usually a dead give-away there is a problem
[09:50] <G_A_C> PointMan: if it's hardware RAID, then that would depend whether your RAID controller has Linux management tools
[09:50] <Knirgh> Titan8990: What was the command again?
[09:50] <DarthPuff> is there a group i need to put my user in to allow them to read/write to a disk automounted by hal?
[09:50] <PointMan> G_A_C: i was kinda hoping i could get an email or so, or atleast didnt have to check an utility every other day.. :)
[09:50] <fallore> GParted isn't letting me resize an unmounted hdd. It has a warning: Unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. the filesystem is ntfs. Is there a way I can fix this?
[09:50] <Titan8990> Knirgh, sudo fsck /dev/sda5
[09:51] <Ryan_Delaney> fallore: Do you have ntfs-3g installed?
[09:51] <Titan8990> PointMan, you could automate that via script, including mailing
[09:51] <G_A_C> PointMan: if you can use mdadm, then you could probably script it (ie a cronjob to run mdadm status, look for "failed", email you if present)?
[09:51] <PointMan> ah cool guys, ill check it out
[09:51] <fallore> Ryan_Delaney: i dont remember installing it. how can i check?
[09:51] <Titan8990> G_A_C, you should never recommend mdadm when someone has a real hardware controller
[09:51] <Knirgh> Titan8990: No errors now.
[09:51] <Titan8990> G_A_C, only when they have fakeRAID :)
[09:51] <Ryan_Delaney> fallore: $ sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[09:51] <G_A_C> Titan8990: he didn't say whether he did or not, if you look, I gave two possible solutions
[09:52] <lotharn> i like hardware
[09:52] <G_A_C> I'm still none-the-wiser as to what sort of RAID it is, so I've given both options :)
[09:52] <Titan8990> G_A_C, ah, I see

[09:53] <fallore> Ryan_Delaney: I installed it but i'm getting the same error. Should i try restarting, or booting to a live ubuntu disc?

[09:53] <Ryan_Delaney> Oh, sorry

I can access all other files on the partition except in one directory where I get "cannot open `SomePic.jpg' for reading: Permission denied" error. The file's permissions are "-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root " and I am root. Can anyone help me?
[09:54] <soloslinger> hmm, that netsplit has happened a few times today
[09:54] <punda> When I say I can access all the other files, I mean I can read from them for copying etc.
[09:54] <fallore> did you miss my message because of the split, Ryan_Delaney?
[09:54] <Ryan_Delaney> fallore: Maybe, try sending again
[09:54] <fallore> Ryan_Delaney: I installed it but i'm getting the same error. Should i try restarting, or booting to a live ubuntu disc? Ryan_Delaney
[09:55] <Ryan_Delaney> I dont expect that restarting would help, but you could try the livecd
[09:55] <Ryan_Delaney> It's possible that the disk or the filesystem is damaged :\
[09:55] <Ryan_Delaney> But I cant say
[09:55] <pudidis> tiyowan: Okay, I'm done backing up. Shall I boot from this Ultimate boot CD?

[09:55] <Pixels> how do I enable firefox to view PDF files on a website?  Just install adobe?
[09:55] <fallore> Ryan_Delaney: well, i've run windows off it for a while now without error. it did BSOD during the windows installation, but nothing since.
[09:55] <Ryan_Delaney> Ok
[09:56] <tiyowan> pudidis: Right. Let's get this done then. Yep, you need to boot from the CD.
[09:56] <Pixels> joakim-: hur mor du?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: adobe is a company name, you'd have a time installing that
[09:56] <Pixels> !adbode reader
[09:56] <unop> Pixels, you need the acroread-plugin (from medibuntu)
[09:56] <chocobanana> Pixels: you can install acroread or mozplugger
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: try: apt-cache search acrobat
[09:56] <Pixels> chocobanana: sudo apt-get install acroread ?
[09:56] <tiyowan> pudidis: You'll be looking for SeaTools for DOS when it boots up. It'll be in Hard Disk Tools.
[09:57] <Pixels> E: Couldn't find package acroread
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: apps like that sometimes have a mozilla plugin which likes the reader to mozilla
[09:57] <chocobanana> Pixels: yeah. If you prefer to use Evince inside Firefox, install mozplugger

[09:57] <Pixels> ok ty brb
[09:57] <pudidis> tiyowan: Oops, I forgot to burn the disc, I thought it had been done.
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: acroread is on the medibuntu repo which you need to add
[09:58] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: gotcha, doing that now. brb
[09:58] <tiyowan> pudidis: That's ok. Go ahead and burn the disc.
[09:58] <jastram> Howdy, I want to buy a PCMCIA or USB Soundcard for my Laptop (R52 Thinkpad) in order to use true surround sound.  The system is running 9.04. I don't have the speakers yet, so I don't care whether it's analog or s/pdif. Can anybody make a recommendation?  I could find next to nothing searching online.  Thanks!
[09:58] <chocobanana> interesting, with medibuntu installed, I don't get acroread either....
[09:58] <pudidis> tiyowan: I seem to be unable to burn it. Disk utility (Mac os X) tells me it failed because of a medium write error. I'll try downloading it again.
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> pudidis: if you can, md5 check the iso first
[09:59] <Pixels> i typed this: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[09:59] <pudidis> ActionParsnip: md5? Hm, dunno how to do that.
[09:59] <Pixels> and still it claims it cannot find acoread...  hmm update?
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | pudidis
[09:59] <tiyowan> pudidis: medium write error...hmm, do you have another disc handy?
[09:59] <mobi-sheep> Pixels: You didn't type that.  You copied and pasted that from Internet. :)   Yup.  Update.  sudo aptitude update (to update the sources list).
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: did you run: sudo apt-get update
[09:59] <pudidis> tiyowan: Yes, I'll try again.
[10:00] <punda> pudidis, just do "md5sum <filename" on the command line and compare the hashes

[10:00] <xerox1> general question on live systems: if i am using a live system and would try to install packages: will such a process affect the hdd or not?

[10:00] <Vinceman> where can you get help on flash?
[10:00] <pudidis> Thanks
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: did you do that?
[10:00] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: yes... i ran the 2 commands at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu... the "Any Ubuntu Release and keyring: " + ""Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope": " commands
[10:01] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: still says this:  E: Couldn't find package acroread
[10:01] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: what now? :P
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: well the jaunty one will overwrite the file in the first command
[10:01] <chocobanana> Pixels: you need to enable the Ubuntu Partner repository. Open Synaptic, then click the Settings menu > Repository and tick the Partner line. Then close, reload and install acroread and the acroread-mozilla plugin
[10:01] <mobi-sheep> xerox1: If you're running a Live System, you can do what you want.  However, when you're finished with it, it won't be saved, of course.
[10:01] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: when I do updatye, i even see this: Hit http://packages.medibuntu.org jaunty/free Packages
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: ok then try: apt-cache search acro
[10:02] <Pixels> yet when I type " sudo apt-get install acroread" nothing works

[10:03] <Pixels> Pixels> ActionParsnip: yes... i ran the 2 commands at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu... the "Any Ubuntu Release and keyring: " + ""Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope": " commands
 ActionParsnip: still says this:  E: Couldn't find package acroread

 yet when I type " sudo apt-get install acroread" nothing works
[10:03] <FloodBot2> Pixels: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:03] <Pixels> oops sorry
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: chocobanana: ActionParsnip, Pixels: acroread is in the Partner repository
[10:03] <Pixels> anyone know whats wrong?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: enable the partner repo
[10:03] <chocobanana> lol
[10:03] <chocobanana> Pixels: you need to enable the Ubuntu Partner repository. Open Synaptic, then click the Settings menu > Repository and tick the Partner line. Then close, reload and install acroread and the acroread-mozilla plugin

[10:04] <punda> Hi. I have an NTFS partition mounted on my loopback as read only.

[10:04] <tiyowan> What's the name of the alternative to acroread again?
[10:04] <flintwingel> tiyowan: evince ?
[10:04] <chocobanana> punda: that is most likely because of the ntfs file permissions, that even root cannot read...
[10:04] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: maybe I need multiverse? not medibuntu?

[10:04] <Titan8990> punda, can you copy to file to another partition and then open it?
[10:04] <tiyowan> Yep. :)
[10:05] <tiyowan> Thanks.
[10:05]  * Pixels yells "help" lol
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: its good to havethe medibuntu repo
[10:05] <punda> Titan8990,  no, can't open it for reading to do the copy
[10:05] <punda> chocobanana,  i thought as much. Is there any way to get permissions to the files?
[10:05] <pudidis> tiyowan: Okay, I've booted from the CD.
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: you need to launch synaptic and enable the repo, then run: sudo apt-get install acroread mozilla-acroread acroread-plugins
[10:05] <koshari> chocobanana i dont even think acroread is in the repos, you need to download the binary from adobr
[10:05] <tiyowan> pudidis: Right. Look under Hard Disk Tools for SeaTools for DOS.
[10:06] <koshari> chocobanana not for 32 bit anyway
[10:06] <Titan8990> chocobanana, pretty sure it ignores window acls
[10:06] <chocobanana> koshari: I checked myself. The Partner repository is disabled by default
[10:06] <pudidis> tiyowan: Hm, okay, i go to Hard Disk Tools, but SeaTools doesn't seem to be there. Which subfolder should I go to?
[10:06] <koshari> chocobanana ok,
[10:06] <chocobanana> koshari: after enabling you can access acroread. Try yourself
[10:06] <chocobanana> :)
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> chocobanana: looks like its there: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/acroread.html
[10:06] <zortec_> How come Firefox does not let me save files to my /home directory?
[10:07] <koshari> chocobanana its ok i used the adobe binary
[10:07] <fallore> i'm running gparted on a 7.04 live cd and it's showing my 1.5tb drive as -697623958272.00 bytes, though in another place it recognizes the correct size, used and unused space. is it safe to resize this drive?
[10:07] <tiyowan> pudidis: I can't remember off the top of my head. Poke around in there. You're bound to find them.
[10:07] <pudidis> tiyowan: Sure thing.
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> zortec_: is it running as the username who's home you want to save to?
[10:07] <punda> chocobanana, Do you know any way around my problem?
[10:07] <Titan8990> zortec_, regular users don't have permission to do that, you want: /home/yourusername/
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> !info mozilla-acroread
[10:07] <tiyowan> pudidis: Should be under Hard Disk Diagnostic Tools I think.
[10:07] <pudidis> Tiyowan: Okay, I went under Diagnostic tools and found SeaTools for DOS v1.09
[10:07] <koshari> ActionParsnip thats the 64bit package
[10:07] <Titan8990> zortec_, that is YOUR home directory, not THE home directory
[10:07] <zortec> ActionParsnip, Titan8990: I don't want to save the files to the Desktop, would like to put them in /home/zortec
[10:08] <chocobanana> punda: hold on a sec plz
[10:08] <pudidis> tiyowan: Should I go ahead and start it up?
[10:08] <mobi-sheep> ActionParsnip: Lulz @ http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/hot-babe.html
[10:08] <Titan8990> zortec, and the problem?
[10:08] <chocobanana> zortec; did you manage to install Ubuntu? :)
[10:08] <tiyowan> pudidis: Great. Run those. Now what you need to do in SeaTools is to select your drive and choose to run the short test under the basic menu.
[10:08] <Pixels> still says this:  E: Couldn't find package acroread
[10:08] <Pixels> anyone able to help?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> mobi-sheep: not seen that? its completely pointless
[10:08] <zortec> chocobanana: I have ubuntu installed thanks to all of the help in the IRC room :)
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/367328
[10:09] <pudidis> tiyowan: Whoa, okay, just a sec.
[10:09] <zortec> Titan8990: The problem is that it will not let me save the downloads in the home directory.
[10:09] <zortec> Titan8990: It keeps saving them to the Desktop.
[10:09] <tiyowan> pudidis: The interface is a little...outdated. :) But don't let that faze you.
[10:09] <Titan8990> zortec, edit -> preferences -> main tab
[10:09] <Pixels> oh well back to Vista :(
[10:09] <Titan8990> zortec, new to firefox as well?
[10:09] <pudidis> tiyowan: It's pretty intimidating, that's for sure.
[10:09] <zortec> Titan8990: I'm there
[10:10] <koshari> Pixels get the binary for adobe
[10:10] <zortec> Titan8990: Not at all, just it does not allow you to save the files in that directory.
[10:10] <Pixels> koshari: how?
[10:10] <koshari> downlaod it,
[10:10] <chocobanana> punda: problem doesn't happen with all files, right?
[10:10] <Pixels> whats binary?
[10:10] <Titan8990> zortec, I still don't understand your problem
[10:10] <punda> chocobanana,  right
[10:10] <pudidis> tiyowan: I'm not sure about choosing my hard drive. Under D-Drive I have D- Drive 0 - 0 ( 0). Does that make any sense to you?
[10:10] <zortec> Titan8990: Sorry, it's late and I failed to notice something.
[10:10] <Titan8990> zortec, do you not know how to do it or is it or is there some kind of error?
[10:10] <zortec> Titan8990: It's working now
[10:10] <Titan8990> zortec, excellent

[10:11] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: so you'd drop ubuntu purely because in-browser pdf viewing is not working for yu right now?
[10:12] <chocobanana> punda: and Windows version?
[10:12] <pudidis> tiyowan: At the bottom it says "Device - 0 Seagate, Model - Maxtor, etc, Controller - nVidia MCp51 SATA "
[10:12] <koshari> Pixels: theres no bug its just not in 32bit form in the standard repos,
[10:12] <punda> chocobanana,  Hardy Heron. Windows 2000
[10:12] <Pixels> koshari: can you help me install adobe?  I need it for my credit card website to view my monthly bills online
[10:12] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: I need it
[10:12] <chocobanana> Pixels: did you enable the Partner repository?
[10:12] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: can you help me install it then?
[10:12] <Pixels> chocobanana: how I check that?
[10:12] <theoriginal73> chi mi legge
[10:12] <NN-Tags> I'd like to install a network printer, but I do not have the drivers nor has ubuntu.
[10:12] <NN-Tags> Is it possible to use the Win or OS-X drivers in some way so I can install the printer?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: dude, you can tell firefox to open the pdf with the external app. Its not the end of humanity
[10:12] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay press D to switch drives.
[10:12] <Pixels> koshari: so how do I get adobe on ubuntu?  Surely this shouldnt be so hard :P
[10:13] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: so tell me.. how do I fix this?
[10:13] <chocobanana> Pixels: I already told you. Scroll up and look for my answer
[10:13] <Titan8990> Pixels, and many prefer an external app
[10:13] <koshari> Pixels i downloaded it and installed it from the adobe site
[10:13] <Pixels> chocobanana: I cant, i was dc
[10:13] <pudidis> tiyowan: It seems not to change.
[10:13] <mib_i2s467et> hey guys there is a problem with my tv tuner card
[10:13] <zortec> This is a simple question but I can't remember, how do you run a .exe file from your home directory?
[10:13] <Pixels> koshari: ill try that..
[10:13] <chocobanana> Pixels: you need to enable the Ubuntu Partner repository. Open Synaptic, then click the Settings menu > Repository and tick the Partner line. Then close, reload and install acroread and the acroread-mozilla plugin
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: let me websearch
[10:13] <Pixels> brb
[10:13] <mobi-sheep> Pixels: Can't you download the PDF from your bank site and view it in something other than Firefox?
[10:13] <mib_i2s467et> its not detected properly
[10:13] <chocobanana> punda: tough cookie :D
[10:14] <tiyowan> pudidis: That's your drive then. Press S to run the short test.
[10:14] <mib_i2s467et> how do i insert into kernel in jackalope
[10:14] <punda> chocobanana, lol. ok then
[10:14] <G_A_C> zortec: you need to install Wine
[10:14] <koshari>  Pixels http://get.adobe.com/reader/thankyou/?item_reader=1262
[10:14] <pudidis> tiyowan: Okay, here goes.
[10:14] <chocobanana> punda: is it a local drive or shared?
[10:14]  * NN-Tags wonders. Why hould you have adobe on Ubuntu?
[10:14] <theoriginal73> chi mi da il server in italiano
[10:14] <Pixels> chocobanana: i dont see any Partner line?
[10:14] <punda> chocobanana,  there is one way, but it's labour intensive
[10:14] <juan> hola
[10:14] <mib_i2s467et> previosly i succeslfyly saw tv using modprobe cammond
[10:14] <chocobanana> hola :)
[10:14] <punda> chocobanana,  it's an image of a partition mounted on loopback
[10:14] <zortec> G_A_C: I have wine installed
[10:14] <Pixels> mobi-sheep: no, it wont allow it
[10:14] <Titan8990> mib_i2s467et, modprobe loads modules into the kernel
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Pixels: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25685
[10:14] <tiyowan> pudidis: It'll take two minutes, and the middle area will should show the results.
[10:14] <G_A_C> zortec: "wine exename.exe" should do it then, I believe
[10:14] <NN-Tags> Is it possible to use the Win or OS-X drivers in some way so I can install a network printer on ubuntu?
[10:14] <mib_i2s467et> also why doesnt jaunty automount my partitions
[10:15] <Pixels> whats this "Partner line" chocobanana talking about?
[10:15] <punda> chocobanana,  I may have to try to open the whole 8 gig in a hex editor and manually extract the hex for the images in that directory
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> NN-Tags: you will need a ppd file, or a native driver
[10:15] <Titan8990> mib_i2s467et, did you tell it to?
[10:15] <chocobanana> punda: jeez!
[10:15] <pudidis> tiyowan: Okay, it says "Short test PASSED on (today)"
[10:15] <Vinceman> statement: if you don't install from synaptic packet manager your installation doesn't stand a chance

[10:16] <_n00b_> sorry
[10:16] <punda> chocobanana,  I need to see what the images are :(
[10:16] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay. So that's definitely a good sign.
[10:16] <Titan8990> mib_i2s467et, by selecting mount points during installation or editing fstab later?
[10:16] <mib_i2s467et> last time i edited /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134 file
[10:16] <koshari> ActionParsnip are you actually reading the content of any of those links?
[10:16] <Pixels> ActionParsnip: good link, but too complicated for me LOL!  i just want adobe lol not to mess around
[10:16] <mib_i2s467et> now its says there needs a .conf file for it
[10:16] <pudidis> tiyowan: Oh phew, I was worried it meant that the error was even more mysterious.
[10:16] <NN-Tags> ActionParsnip: I do have the ppd file (off the OS-X installation) but still it will not install
[10:16] <mib_i2s467et> i dont know and tvtime doesnt recognize my card
[10:16] <chocobanana> punda: good luck. You can always try in the forums or copy the files in Windows to somewhere else, preferably a FAT32 disk
[10:16] <Titan8990> mib_i2s467et, you should use /etc/modules in debian based systems
[10:16] <zortec_> I'm trying to run the WoW downloader, but it's not connecting which I suppose is a problem opening up certain ports.
[10:16] <_n00b_> I'm getting a BADSIG error
[10:16] <tiyowan> pudidis: Na, okay, find a way to quit this program. We'll be running TestDisk next.
[10:16] <theoriginal73> chi mi aiuta
[10:16] <koshari> Pixels i gave you the link to the binary
[10:16] <_n00b_> from mirrir http://au.archive.ubuntu.com

[10:17] <Titan8990> zortec, all of them are open by default
[10:17] <_n00b_> Is there any way to find out if the fault is on my side or not?
[10:17] <pudidis> tiyowan: Alrighty.
[10:17] <Pixels> chocobanana: ok i clicked the 2 partner lines, but still no acroread :P
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> _n00b_: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 437D05B5;gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add -; sudo apt-get update
[10:17] <punda> chocobanana,  yeah. Thanks anyway :)
[10:17] <creature1> how do you get dmesg to show up on desktop transparently?
[10:17] <zortec> Titan8990: It's not downloading any files and the tracker is not responding.
[10:17] <koshari> mib_i2s467et is yours a dvb-t or an analog card
[10:17] <Pixels> koshari: that link didnt work
[10:17] <Pixels> koshari: nothing loads.. it hangs
[10:17] <chocobanana> Pixels: Close the repositories window and click the reload button on the toolbar, then look for acroread
[10:17] <mib_i2s467et> i previously created saa7134 file inside in /etc/modprobe.d
[10:18] <Pixels> koshari: the link is non working.. any other?
[10:18] <Titan8990> zortec, its not a problem of open ports
[10:18] <Pixels> chocobanana: i did that, still no acroread
[10:18] <mib_i2s467et> which was success now how it is changed
[10:18] <Titan8990> zortec, atleast not on your local machine
[10:18] <pudidis> tiyowan: Would that be under the same Folder? Hard disk tools?
[10:18] <dumbkiwi> creature1: open a terminal without a window decoration? try eterm - think there's a few howtos on the internets

[10:18] <mib_i2s467et> i dont know about partiition mounting at boot
[10:18] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yep.
[10:18] <mib_i2s467et> well should i edit fstab
[10:18] <Pixels> chocobanana: OK!  yes it worked!  you legend ;)
[10:18] <ms_> Hello, I was wondered about mount.ntfs, when rw access to that disk is big it eats all my cpu. Suppose it is nothing to do about that. Can I somehow move my partition from ntfs to eht2, without copying all data to another disk?
[10:18] <SamSams> hi all i am new to ubuntu. pls tell me how do i set up permissions so that i can save or delete files in the FileSystem
[10:18] <Titan8990> !fstab | mib_i2s467et
[10:18] <Pixels> chocobanana for president :)
[10:18] <chocobanana> Pixels: fantastic :)
[10:19] <zortec_> This is the message I get in terminal: InternetGetConnectedState always returning LAN connection.
[10:19] <Titan8990> mib_i2s467et, i know nothing about tvtuner cards honestly
[10:19] <koshari> Pixels the links fine here
[10:19] <Pixels> chocobanana: so all I had to do was click on those 2 Partner lines???
[10:19] <G_A_C> ms_: No, you would need to backup your data, reformat the disk you want to use as ext3, and then restore your data to it
[10:19] <chocobanana> Pixels: remember to install the plugin as well
[10:19] <chocobanana> Pixels: the first one would have been enough
[10:19] <mib_i2s467et> anybody help me about tvtuner card detectection in tvtime
[10:19] <Titan8990> zortec, its a problem with the WINE handling the windows api calls it looks like
[10:19] <G_A_C> ms_: there's no "inplace" migration from NTFS to ext3
[10:19] <pudidis> tiyowan: Hm, sorry, I'm poking around for it, just a sec.
[10:19] <Titan8990> zortec, did you check the notes on appdb?
[10:19] <mib_i2s467et> also how to change ntsc format to pal in tvtime
[10:19] <tiyowan> pudidis: No problem.
[10:20] <Pixels> chocobanana: thanks :)  see ya ;)
[10:20] <quizme> when i log in i get dumped into /
[10:20] <koshari> mib_i2s467et is it a dvb-t or analog?

[10:20] <quizme> permission denied
[10:20] <mib_i2s467et> analog
[10:20] <quizme> anybody know why ?
[10:20] <zortec> Titan8990: I didn't see any notes on appdb
[10:20] <koshari> \chocobanana medibuntu DONT provide 32 bit acroread

[10:21] <Jyxt> oh my what a hassle just to get dmcrypt working, oh well more knowledge for me :)
[10:21] <G_A_C> quizme: the permissions have got screwed up on your home directory, maybe?
[10:21] <dumbkiwi> quizme: you been able to get to a graphical desktop previously?  Is this a new thing?

[10:21] <dman777> anyone use a macbook pro?
[10:21] <hdon> hi all. is there a channel specifically for installing ubuntu?
[10:21] <pudidis> tiyowan: Ah here we go, I found it under filesystem tools/  partition tools/ testdisk v6.6 (check/undelete). is this the one?
[10:21] <Malicia> Pici, 10x :)
[10:21] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yep, that's the one.
[10:21] <mobi-sheep> !welcome | hdon

[10:22] <chocobanana> !installation
[10:22] <chocobanana> also a good source
[10:22]  * hdon clicks
[10:22] <chocobanana> hdon: you can always ask a question here of course

[10:23] <ms_> G_A_C: tanks
[10:23] <tiyowan> pudidis: It should have asked you whether you wanted to create a log file.
[10:23] <G_A_C> quizme: that looks normal, you are logged in as tempuser on this machine?
[10:23] <tiyowan> pudidis: In any case, you should be on the disk selection screen by now.
[10:23] <mib_i2s467et> should i edit fstab to automount drives at boot in jaunty>
[10:23] <mib_i2s467et> ?
[10:23] <pudidis> tiyowan: Yes, I am
[10:23] <ozzmosis> mib_i2s467et: yep
[10:24] <zortec_> Hmm, it uses bittorrent technology.
[10:24] <pudidis> tiyowan: Shall I go ahead and Proceed?
[10:24] <mib_i2s467et> how give an example
[10:24] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay.  I proceeded with the installation, and reached this point where I had to select the keyboard format. when I clicked next, the installation just hangs. any ideas?
[10:26] <tiyowan> pudidis: Right, highlight Analyse, and press Enter.
[10:26] <mib_i2s467et> what to do with automounting drives at boot
[10:26] <mib_i2s467et> they are not mounted
[10:26] <mobi-sheep> Ersran9: Did you md5sum before you burn the iso?
[10:26] <dman777> anyone use a macbook pro?
[10:26] <mobi-sheep> !md5sum | Ersran9
[10:26] <dman777> anyone use a macbook?
[10:27] <Undertaker> hi i'm installing 9.04 & i get this   ata1 softreset failed (device not ready) what am i doing wrong
[10:27] <Ersran9> mobi-sheep, yes md5 passed, and media check on bootup also passed
[10:27] <mobi-sheep> dman777: Ask the real question. :)
[10:27] <ozzmosis> mib_i2s467et: they will be automounted if you edit fstab properly
[10:27] <pudidis> tiyowan: Okay, I now get two warnings of the same type: "Warning: incorrect number of heads/cylinder 240 (NTFS (and FAT for the other)) != 255 (HD)
[10:27] <pudidis> tiyowan: Lower down, it says "bad relative sector"
[10:27] <mib_i2s467et> ok
[10:27] <mib_i2s467et> anybody help me about tvtuner card detectection in tvtime
[10:27] <mobi-sheep> Ersran9: Generally that shouldn't happen.  Old hardware?
[10:27] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yikes. Does it go ahead with the analysis?
[10:27] <mib_i2s467et> analog card
[10:28] <pudidis> tiyowan: I get the option to proceed, below these messages.
[10:28] <ozzmosis> !ask | mib_i2s467et
[10:28] <cryptcritic> hey room
[10:28] <linny> hello i wonder if someone could advise me ? i have a dedicated server running 8.04 server and my desktop running jaunty what are my options for automated ftp backup of my home folder not my videos and stuff im thinking more along the lines of all my config files and folders (also list of installed packages would be nice to backup too, if thats possible)
[10:28] <Ersran9> mobi-sheep, nope. could this be due to hardware errors?
[10:28] <incorrect> taptu
[10:28] <pudidis> tiyowan: There's also some information along with these error messages
[10:28] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: hardware error or incompatibility
[10:28] <incorrect> ooops
[10:28] <tiyowan> pudidis: What kind of information?
[10:28] <Ersran9> ah
[10:28] <tupac4life> forza milan
[10:28] <cryptcritic> hey room
[10:28] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: might be worth trying the alternate install CD
[10:28] <mobi-sheep> Ersran9: It's not an easy approach -- hit-or-miss.  Did you burn the ISO at slowest speed?
[10:28] <Ersran9> oh, alright
[10:29] <chocobanana> hey cryptcritic
[10:29] <cryptcritic> hey
[10:29] <Ersran9> mobi-sheep, not the slowest, but at 24x
[10:29] <mobi-sheep> Ersran9: See what ozzmosis say.  I use alternative install disc myself and I find it better over LiveCD.
[10:29] <Undertaker> hi i'm installing lenny & i get this   ata1 softreset failed (device not ready) what am i doing wrong
[10:29] <Ersran9> ah okay
[10:29] <Ersran9> thanks for your help :)
[10:29] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: or more extreme things like an earlier Ubuntu version, or booting a different OS from CD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc) depending on how much effort you want to go to ;)
[10:29] <mobi-sheep> Ersran9: 24x is too fast.  Burning at this speed can lessen the quality, skipping bits there and there.  Burn at x4 (slowest).
[10:29] <pudidis> tiyowan: Well, under each warning I get something like this: (this is the first one) 1 * HPFS - NTFS    0  1  1 27804 254 63  446687262 [HP_Pavilion]  (The other one has similar information, and [hp_recovery] at the end
[10:29] <G_A_C> Undertaker: you'd have better results in a Debian channel, possibly
[10:29] <cryptcritic> I was wondering does anyne know how to get adobe flash on ubuntu 9.04
[10:30] <chocobanana> linny: not sure about the exact specifics, but you can always set up a cron job
[10:30] <Ersran9> okay
[10:30] <Ersran9> but
[10:30] <cryptcritic> it keeps saying architecture not found
[10:30] <pudidis> tiyowan: Also, below the bad relative sector warning, it says some similar information with what seems to be the linux partition
[10:30] <cptblood> mobi-sheep: burning at 4x is often just made available by older media
[10:30] <mobi-sheep> Ersran9: Go for alternative disc.  There are more choices there.  Be sure to md5sum and burn slow. :)
[10:30] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay. One moment.
[10:30] <Undertaker> o9oops i was to say 9.04
[10:30] <cptblood> and if you got a good burner and good media, burning at 24x isnt a problem
[10:30] <Ersran9> ozzmosis, If I can use fedora 10, which is fairly new, could it be incompatibility?
[10:30] <pudidis> tiyowan: Shall I take a picture and put it up on twitpic or something?
[10:30] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: could be, yeah
[10:31] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: maybe even an errant BIOS setting
[10:31] <linny> chocobanana: but it would end up uploading files that haven't changed on the server wouldn't it i was wondering if there specific software for this purpose
[10:31] <Undertaker> hi i'm installing ubuntu 9.04 & i get this   ata1 softreset failed (device not ready) what am i doing wrong
[10:31] <tiyowan> pudidis: Actually, could you do that? It's really help. Do you see anything like "invalid NTFS boot"?
[10:31] <G_A_C> Undertaker: which one are you installing? a second ago you said lenny (ie Debian) now it's Ubuntu 9.04? :)
[10:31] <Ersran9> ozzmosis, but... well, I dont know, it shows this dialog "scanning disks" and then hangs
[10:31] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: maybe toggle USB legacy devices in the BIOS ... I'm just grasping at straws though :)
[10:31] <quizme> g_a_c: /home/tempuser
[10:32] <Undertaker> ubuntu 9.04
[10:32] <pudidis> tiyowan: Not a problem, just a sec. I don't see anything like that, no
[10:32] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: I thought you said it stopped when it detected the keyboard?  (which I think you can skip anyway)
[10:32] <Ersran9> okay, I'll try that as well
[10:32] <G_A_C> quizme: after you've been dumped into / when you login, can you get into /home/tempuser manually?
[10:32] <Ersran9> ozzmosis, after I clicked next from that step
[10:32] <chocobanana> linny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
[10:32] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: ah
[10:32] <quizme> G_A_C: no
[10:32] <quizme> G_A_C: permission denied still
[10:32] <linny> chocobanana: thanks reading
[10:33] <G_A_C> quizme: can you get into that folder as root?
[10:33] <quizme> G_A_C: yes root np
[10:33] <chocobanana> see you all later
[10:33] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: have you tried Alt+F4 to look for any error messages?
[10:33] <ozzmosis> Ersran9: I think it's Alt+F4 ..
[10:33] <Ersran9> ozzmosis, no.. I never knew it could be done there
[10:33] <Ersran9> ozzmosis, I'll try that out right now
[10:34] <pudidis> tiyowan: http://twitpic.com/6gfhr Here we go.
[10:34] <ozzmosis> mobi-sheep: I've never had any problems with burning discs at 52x btw :)
[10:34] <G_A_C> quizme: you could try resetting the permissions (although they appear to be right anyway)? chown -R tempuser:tempuser /home/tempuser
[10:35] <mobi-sheep> ozzmosis: Heh.  Ubuntu ISO? :o
[10:35] <G_A_C> otherwise I'm somewhat out of ideas, from your paste, and what you've said, I can't see anything out of place
[10:35] <quizme> G_A_C: i figured out what it was.  I set chmod 700 /home
[10:35] <CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo> How can i look for a line in a file, and return only a section of this line? like, how can i parse output of fgrep thru gettok?
[10:35] <G_A_C> quizme: ahhh!
[10:35] <ozzmosis> CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo: awk
[10:35] <G_A_C> quizme: I never even thought of that, heh
[10:35] <CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo> Ta.
[10:35] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay, this is a problem with the partition table. Hmm.
[10:35] <quizme> G_A_C: that's what was messing me up.... but why does the directory above affect the intended destination directory?
[10:36] <G_A_C> quizme: the x bit controls who can enter that dir
[10:36] <G_A_C> so if you had 711 /home, that would be fine
[10:36] <G_A_C> you wouldn't be able to do an ls on /home because of not having the r bit, but you would be able to enter the directory OK
[10:36] <quizme> G_A_C: do i need to have the x bit set on "/" as well ?
[10:37] <pudidis> tiyowan: So the partition process itself failed?
[10:37] <G_A_C> quizme: I don't think you can set permissions on / as it's the root partition
[10:37] <tiyowan> pudidis: Your drive has an x number of cylinders and heads. (physically) But the partition table (basically, a file) is listing your partitions in a way that they don't "end" where they're supposed. It in the worst case, you could have lost all of your data.
[10:37] <quizme> G_A_C: i mean, does every directory above have to have +x or only the one above ?
[10:37] <G_A_C> quizme: every directory above
[10:38] <mobi-sheep> k
[10:38] <A[L]IF> ::«][»:: ÇaFê ÃÐÐã SçRîpT LoãÐêÐ ::«][»::
[10:38] <pudidis> tiyowan: I see. Even for the recovery partition?
[10:38] <G_A_C> quizme: a missing x at any step would essentially be the end of the "chain"
[10:38] <quizme> G_A_C: geez.  I never knew that.
[10:38] <quizme> G_A_C: k thanks
[10:38] <quizme> G_A_C: i'm sorted
[10:38] <G_A_C> quizme: you do now, you learn something new every day ;)
[10:38] <koshari> G_A_C: roots the owner, but setting permissions like 777 on / would be suicide
[10:38] <CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo> ozzmosis, Lol, that was extreamly simple, thanks for that.
[10:38] <quizme> G_A_C: yup
[10:38] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yep.
[10:38] <hdon> so i need to boot from usb flash memory. i'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromCForUSBStick but my problem is that it's now asking me to copy some files onto it from my system, and i'm not running ubuntu. is it reasonable to expect /boot/grub to be compatible between Debian 4.0 and Ubuntu?
[10:38] <hdon> (boot as in boot the installer)
[10:39] <A[L]IF> hei
[10:39] <ozzmosis> CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo: no probs :)
[10:39] <G_A_C> koshari: yeah, I realise that, I always thought that / was always root:root 700
[10:39] <_dr> hi
[10:39] <G_A_C> and unchangable
[10:39] <pudidis> tiyowan: Dang.
[10:39] <_dr> is it possible to use different window decorations for different window types?
[10:39] <koshari> hdon if you are booting from usb you likely wont use grub but instead syslinux
[10:39] <tiyowan> pudidis: Nah, it doesn't necessarily mean that the data is lost. :)
[10:39] <zortec_> How do I find out my ip address like in windows I would type ipconfig.  I want to set up port forwarding for my router.
[10:39] <tiyowan> pudidis: I'm actually trying to think of the best way to fix this.
[10:40] <_dr> zortec_: ifconfig
[10:40] <G_A_C> ifconfig, zortec
[10:40] <pudidis> tiyowan: Thank you so much.
[10:40] <tiyowan> pudidis: The good news is that there's nothing wrong with your drive.
[10:40] <mac|gyve1> how can I manually run grub from a recovery session? where is it on the disk?
[10:40] <A[L]IF> any op hare  ?/
[10:40] <mib_i2s467et> i have a analog tv tuner card which is nt detected by default so i loaded the module to using modprobe and edited file using /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134 but now its changed in jaunty
[10:41] <koshari> use the term in a live session and run update-grub
[10:41] <tiyowan> pudidis: It's just that there's a vital file on it which has some data which isn't exactly matching what's on your disc. :)
[10:41] <pudidis> tiyowan: Oh right, that's good.
[10:41] <koshari> mac|gyve1 use the term in a live session and run update-grub
[10:41] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay, tell you what. As of now, do you have anything important on this drive?
[10:42] <piergiacomo> !list
[10:42] <pudidis> tiyowan: In the worst case, I can see myself reinstalling Windows. The only problem there is that I don't know where my CD with drivers is.
[10:42] <pudidis> tiyowan: No, not really.
[10:42] <WolfHack> when I boot into Ubuntu, the GUI screws up and it wont show the login screen. last thing i did was manually change the resolution using 'randr -s 800x600'
[10:42] <WolfHack> any ideas?
[10:42] <hdon> koshari: oh i just discovered "boot.img.gz" in hd-media, can i use that to install ubuntu from usb flash?
[10:43] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay...HP..I think best thing to do is use HP's PC Recovery Mode.
[10:43] <pudidis> tiyowan: Alrighty, I'll give that a shot.
[10:43] <tiyowan> pudidis: I'm trying to find out whether that'll allow you to restore your hard drive to the way it was when it shipped.
[10:43] <hdon> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/
[10:43] <pudidis> tiyowan: Oh, but to quit this testdisk, I can just switch off my PC?
[10:43] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yep.
[10:43] <ozzmosis> WolfHack: see /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. you probably need to start with a fresh /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. but make a backup of the old one
[10:43] <koshari> hdon make a bootable usb install from the utility in >admin it will make the filesystem bootable itself , you just provide the iso
[10:44] <hdon> koshari: what is ">admin" ?
[10:44] <WolfHack> thank you
[10:44] <jamieleshaw_> Hello, Is there an Aero shake equiventalent for Ubuntu?
[10:44] <koshari> menu > system > administration > usb creation
[10:44] <ozzmosis> WolfHack: I've never heard of randr being used btw
[10:44] <koshari> jamieleshaw WTh is auroshake
[10:44] <mobi-sheep> jamieleshaw_: Eh?  Aero shake?
[10:45] <A[L]IF> who is admin in this room ?
[10:45] <ozzmosis> WolfHack: I don't even have a "randr"
[10:45] <hdon> koshari: i'm not on ubuntu right now. this will be my first time trying it. i've already used fdisk to set up the partition table on my usb flash media
[10:45] <ozzmosis> A[L]IF: why?
[10:45] <tiyowan> pudidis: Did you ever use that program from HP - Recovery Manager, to make a recovery disc?
[10:45] <jamieleshaw_> Aero Shake is new In Windows 7
[10:45] <WolfHack> me either this was what a friend of mine on rizon was asking about so i figured i would ask the official channel ;]
[10:45] <pudidis> tiyowan: Gosh, no, I didn't.
[10:45] <A[L]IF> ozzmosis nothing jst ask
[10:45] <NN-Tags> Has anyone some experience using Infotec/Heidlberg printers on Ubuntu?
[10:45] <easter_egg> hello world :-)
[10:45] <koshari> hdon use the live disk, you will need to reformat your usb key to fat or fat32 anyway for syslinux to boot
[10:45] <easter_egg> good morning for us
[10:46] <koshari> jamieleshaw so , whats it do?
[10:46] <pudidis> tiyowan: Well, I'm in HP recovery.
[10:46] <mobi-sheep> koshari: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20081103/shake-up-your-windows-7-with-aero-shake/
[10:46] <hdon> koshari: what is a "live disk?"
[10:46] <mobi-sheep> jamieleshaw_: You don't use SHIFT + ALT + ARROW UP ?
[10:46] <tiyowan> pudidis: Oh, you're in PC recovery? Did you have to press a key like F11 on startup to get into recovery mode?
[10:46] <jamieleshaw_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JdV0sG6sFI
[10:46] <koshari> the ubuntu cd, you have a disc dont you?
[10:47] <hdon> no!
[10:47] <pudidis> tiyowan: Nope, the boot program (GRUB?) gave me a choice of OS' and among them was a second copy of windows xp, which took me here.
[10:47] <ozzmosis> jamieleshaw_: no trolling ;)
[10:47] <hdon> i just want to install from usb mass storage media
[10:47] <koshari> then how do you intend on installing it?
[10:47] <easter_egg> tiyowan, the recovery mode you will found in grup menu list
[10:47] <mobi-sheep> jamieleshaw_: You'll end up getting carpal tunnel syndrome from shaking all times. :|
[10:47] <jamieleshaw_> In what way am i trolling
[10:47] <easter_egg> tiyowan, just press esc in init
[10:47] <tiyowan> easter_egg: Thanks. :)
[10:47]  * hdon considers going back to debian already
[10:47] <jamieleshaw_> I'm confused
[10:47] <tiyowan> pudidis: Okay. What you need to is...
[10:47] <ozzmosis> jamieleshaw_: posting a Windows 7 video here?  what is the point?
[10:48] <easter_egg> tiyowan, but you will need many knowledge in bash programming
[10:48] <jamieleshaw_> You asked what it did
[10:48] <ozzmosis> jamieleshaw_: I didn't ask
[10:48] <ozzmosis> jamieleshaw_: who are you talking to?
[10:48] <jamieleshaw_> well koshari asked
[10:48] <tiyowan> pudidis: In Advanced -> Destructive Recovery. This will format your *entire* drive, and reinstall Windows and the original software that came with the computer.
[10:48] <koshari> hdon to install from usb you still need the iso
[10:48] <jamieleshaw_> And im talking to who ever i slistening
[10:49] <tiyowan> pudidis: And *that* should fix the mismatch in the partition table as well.
[10:49] <jamieleshaw_> That's all
[10:49] <hdon> koshari: no problem
[10:49] <ozzmosis> jamieleshaw_: you need to direct your replies to the people who are talking to you
[10:49] <pudidis> tiyowan: Hm, I'll poke around, but it gives me two options: Start hardware dignostics, and start pc recovery. I imagine I'll go with start pc recovery
[10:49] <mobi-sheep> jamieleshaw_: There are many compiz features you can use.  Aero shake is pointless and stupid. :)
[10:49] <mobi-sheep> !compiz | jamieleshaw_
[10:49] <koshari> jamieleshaw just looks like a poor mans version of a compiz plugin to me
[10:49] <NishaKitten> compiz is a lot better than aero is x.x
[10:50] <tiyowan> pudidis: Destructive Recovery will make your system exactly the way it was when you bought it.
[10:50] <pudidis> tiyowan: Thar she blows.
[10:50] <jamieleshaw_> It is not useless it's quicker
[10:50] <koshari> hdon you can use unetbootin alternatively to prepare the usb drive from the iso,
[10:50] <tiyowan> pudidis: Look at the bright side - at least your drive isn't dying. :)
[10:50] <ozzmosis> !offtopic jamieleshaw_
[10:50] <pudidis> tiyowan: My PC needed a good sweep, I guess.
[10:50] <easter_egg> hdon, try live usb creator
[10:51] <easter_egg> hdon, https://launchpad.net/liveusb
[10:51] <pudidis> tiyowan: Oh no, I'm a little sad that I've lost some programs, but like I said, it needed a good sweep. I just hope this works.
[10:51] <hdon> "live usb creator" sounds too easy
[10:51] <koshari> easter_egg i already suggested that.
[10:51] <NishaKitten> jamieleshaw_, I happen to run windows 7 right now and I can even though I like windows tell you right now compiz has 10x the features maybe 100x and it's just as fast or it was for me
[10:51] <NishaKitten> nvm then
[10:51] <NishaKitten> ~~
[10:51] <Fluxibuxi> please press [Strg]+[W]
[10:51] <pudidis> tiyowan: To be perfectly honest, I was trying to install Ubuntu for a job that likes linux and test around in it.
[10:51] <ozzmosis> Strg?
[10:51] <easter_egg> hdon, http://www.programatium.com/pt/tecnologia/news.php?id=Create+Ubuntu+Bootable+USB+Flash+Drive+with+uSbuntu+Live+Creator+for+Windows (windows)
[10:52] <tiyowan> pudidis: Yeah, it happens. I think the most likely way the information in your partition table was corrupted was due to a failure in the partitioning process.
[10:52] <mobi-sheep> pudidis: You can use cygwin ?
[10:52] <hdon> easter_egg: why are you giving me this?
[10:52] <easter_egg> hdon, is very useful
[10:52] <hdon> easter_egg: i'm not using windows!
[10:52] <koshari> hdon what are you using?
[10:52] <hdon> koshari: Debian
[10:52] <pudidis> tiyowan: It's a shame, but it's at least nice to have a fresh start. Plus I've got most of my files on a backup HDD, so it should be good.
[10:52] <easter_egg> hdon, you are creating usb live? are you? XD
[10:52] <tiyowan> pudidis: What mobi-sheep said. If I have to use Windows, I'll always use Cygwin. But an alternative option is, you could run Ubuntu inside a virtual machine in Windows if you want to do some tinkering around.
[10:53] <hdon> easter_egg: only for installation purposes
[10:53] <koshari> hdon then use unetbootin to prepare the key
[10:53] <NishaKitten> *has ubuntu running in a vm machine*
[10:53] <mobi-sheep> pudidis: If it's a pure linux job, then you can use http://www.cygwin.com/
[10:53] <NishaKitten> virtual box is a good one for it
[10:53] <tiyowan> pudidis: A friend of mine lost 2 TB recently.
[10:53] <pudidis> tiyowan: Hm, I'll keep that in mind. I wanted to test a board over null modem serial on the linux terminal
[10:53] <easter_egg> hdon, ok, the two links can help you (at windows or ubuntu)
[10:53] <pudidis> mobi-sheep: Thanks, i'll keep that in mind.
[10:54] <hdon> koshari: Debian 4.0. why do i have to use some easy program to do it? this really isn't that hard, i just have to know what files to include
[10:54] <pudidis> tiyowan: That's awful. I felt the pain for awhile, but managed to at least get my music and save files out of windows before the format
[10:54] <mobi-sheep> tiyowan: I'm sorry to hear that your friend lost 2TB of something that's not his in first place. :X
[10:54] <pudidis> tiyowan: Should take about 20 minutes
[10:55] <koshari> hdon because its not like installing to a hard drive as you use syslinux , its a compressed image like a live disk,
[10:55] <tiyowan> mobi-sheep: Dead- on accurate. :X
[10:55] <hdon> koshari: doesn't sound that intimidating
[10:56] <pudidis> tiyowan: I'm just glad it hasn't failed yet. Heh.
[10:56] <SamSams> what is the command to rename a folder???
[10:56] <koshari> its not, its dead easy, its just the syslinux.conf file is not able to be edited by a test editor, a
[10:56] <aprilhare> is it possible to add wolfram alpha to a gnome panel?
[10:56] <hdon> aprilhare: you can add any launcher to gnome panels
[10:56] <pudidis> tiyowan: I've read that it's possible to install the startup ubuntu onto a USb stick and just have the machine boot from it. Is that reccomendable?
[10:57] <tiyowan> pudidis: Indeed. Just wait until the recovery process completes, then power off the machine and go for a walk or something. :)
[10:57] <isimiip> hi
[10:57] <ozzmosis> aprilhare: type the web address (http://etc) instead of the command
[10:57] <ozzmosis> aprilhare: I assuming you already know how to add to the panel
[10:57] <hdon> ozzmosis: i wouldn't make that assumption :\
[10:57] <tiyowan> pudidis: A live USB. That's also good for testing things out.
[10:58] <isimiip> i'm doing some development, so sometimes I need to install some devel packages, please tell me is there a list of this devel packages somewhere ?
[10:58] <aprilhare> ozzmosis: i have added elements before, but nothing like this http://www51.wolframalpha.com/addtoyoursite.html
[10:58] <pudidis> tiyowan: Hah, that's definitely a good idea, go get some fresh air.
[10:58] <ozzmosis> aprilhare: actually my suggestion doesn't work!  it works for Alt+F2 but not commands run from the panel.  hrm :S
[10:58] <isimiip> because now i have to search google and it feels kinda strange to me that i can't find it in some official place
[10:59] <koshari> tiyowan live usb is a little limited for some testing, i find VMs better for such actions
[10:59] <hdon> aprilhare: why would you want to go back to that specific page so often as to need a link to it?
[10:59] <aprilhare> hdon: the wolfram is very important to me
[10:59] <hdon> aprilhare: yes, but why addtoyoursite.html ?
[10:59] <anr78> anyone running Ubuntu on MBP 5.1 or 5.2 with no heat issues?
[11:00] <aprilhare> hdon: i was looking for a toolbar for the gnome panel like the ones featured there :)
[11:00] <koshari> isimiip build essentual?
[11:00] <G_A_C> hdon: I think he probably means he wants the HTML widget, on his panel
[11:00] <hdon> oh!
[11:00] <aprilhare> yes
[11:00] <tiyowan> koshari: Agreed. I'm still dual-booting XP/8.10. I still need to test 9.04 in VirtualBox first. As well as the Win7 beta.
[11:00] <G_A_C> rather than a link to the page describing how to add the widgets :)
[11:00] <hdon> aprilhare: you want this page http://www51.wolframalpha.com/downloads.html
[11:00] <G_A_C> aprilhare: I don't know of a way to do this, maybe one of the desktop widget engines (gdesklets IIRC?) can do it?
[11:00] <hdon> aprilhare: it looks like they do not have a gnome panel applet yet
[11:01] <aprilhare> hdon: yes... no gnome panel applet yet
[11:01] <hdon> aprilhare: if you are brave or experienced you can try to make your own :)
[11:01] <hdon> aprilhare: it's probably not very difficult
[11:01] <isimiip> koshari: not really, i mean, for example i need mysql devel package, and i have to search google to find it's name
[11:01] <aprilhare> gdesklets - is it in the repos?
[11:01] <dquestions> whats wrong with this  10 echo "$2" | tr -d  '\15\32' >> "/home/users/$1/.ssh/authorized_keys"
[11:02] <mobi-sheep> !info gdesklets
[11:02] <mobi-sheep> aprilhare: Yup.  See ^
[11:02] <aprilhare> hmmm
[11:02] <isimiip> and typically there is more than 1 answer (package name) and how can i determine the right one
[11:02] <utane> สวัสดีครับทุกท่าน
[11:02] <aprilhare> i'd need a wolfram alpha widget then :)
[11:03] <mobi-sheep> aprilhare: http://www51.wolframalpha.com/downloads.html  (Just a thought.)
[11:03] <utane> Good boy
[11:03] <Tyrath> Sorry - this is not a ubuntu question, but I don't know where else to go. I'm using Ubuntu btw :P. Anyhow, I want to extract multiple 7zip files to an output directory - how can I do this? I tried: 7z -x *.7z -o <directory> but it's not working :(
[11:04] <aprilhare> mobi-sheep: unless i feel like running os x or vista that won't help me :)
[11:04] <aprilhare> or firefox.
[11:04] <mobi-sheep> aprilhare: Do you use Gnome-do?
[11:04] <Malicia> Tyrath, why not doing it directly in a dir?
[11:04] <aprilhare> mobi-sheep: i have it installed however i tend not to use it
[11:05] <Tyrath> Malicia: because then I'll have to mv all the 7z files out of that dir :(
[11:05] <koshari> aprilhare i forget its there and prefer beagle anrate
[11:05] <uhriventis> smbclient -M <host> does that command send messages outside of a network?
[11:05] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: 7z x -o "/outdir/" \*.7z
[11:05] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: thanks :)
[11:05] <zaxxxon> hi all
[11:06] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: or 7z x -o "/outdir/" '*.7z'
[11:06] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: just a quick question is that 7z x or 7z -x ?
[11:06] <G_A_C> uhriventis: it could do, but a lot of Windows machines probably have the Messenger service disabled now, so your message may well not be received
[11:06] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: x not -x
[11:06] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: ah k. bizarre.
[11:06] <uhriventis> Yes I know that
[11:06] <uhriventis> I was going to show my friend how to enable it
[11:06] <uhriventis> With XP you can still
[11:06] <mobi-sheep> aprilhare: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=OpenSearch_Plugin
[11:06] <uhriventis> But, not vista
[11:06] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: not really .. x is a command .. -x is a switch
[11:07] <zaxxxon> I have a problem.. 20 days agoo my network worked.. now I have booted and it doesn't anymore.. The configuration of the network manager is ok but if I do a ifconfig it seems that all isn't configured.. I installed xen but maybe it doesn't matter.. can you help me?
[11:07] <hdon> ozzmosis: bash will not expand *.7z for you if you put it in quotes like that
[11:07] <ozzmosis> hdon: I want 7z to do the expanding
[11:07] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: Pastebin the results of ifconfig. Wired/wireless?
[11:07] <hdon> ozzmosis: amazn
[11:07] <ozzmosis> hdon: well, presumably Tyrath does
[11:07] <pudidis> tiyowan: Alrighty, the recovery's done. Restarting to check that it worked. It did! It's going into windows.
[11:08] <zaxxxon> wireless
[11:08] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: ah k. my understanding of linux is purely what I've made it up to be based on what I know :P. I know what the output of certain commands is but not really why they're structured the way they are
[11:08] <zaxxxon> wait a second
[11:08] <pudidis> tiyowan: Phew, well, thanks a lot for your help. It's better to have this than nothing.
[11:08] <ozzmosis> hdon: unzip is another .. unzip '*.zip' will do internal globbing instead of the shell doing it
[11:09] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: like for example, all that %t %u etc. stuff I recognise, I can tell you what it is, but not why it's like that :P
[11:09] <hdon> ozzmosis: why do you want the program to do it?
[11:09] <tiyowan> pudidis: It's all right. I'm sorry I couldn't recover your Windows.
[11:09] <AdvoWork> hi there, im trying to do: rm -r /home/adirectory but it says: rm: cannot remove directory `adirectory': Device or resource busy  but how? its empty
[11:09] <ozzmosis> hdon: otherwise if you do: unzip *.zip and you have A.zip and B.zip it will get parsed as unzip A.zip B.zip which will mean "look for B.zip inside of A.zip"
[11:09] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: there's probably a process open using it
[11:09] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: is it your own home directory?
[11:09] <frafra> hi all
[11:09] <mobi-sheep> !hi | frafra
[11:10] <bullgard4> What files are stored in /usr/share/menu/ ?
[11:10] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: it's just stuff you pick up over time.  %u format specifier for unsigned int.  I don't think %t is valid.  maybe for strftime()?
[11:10] <zaxxxon> this is the output of the lspci
[11:10] <zaxxxon> http://pastebin.com/m24e1142a
[11:10] <liamjfoy> Hi. I added my VPN settings into the network connection manager. How on earth do you make it connect?
[11:10] <G_A_C> liamjfoy: what kind of VPN?
[11:10] <koshari> AdvoWork why would you want to do that?
[11:10] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: yeah, it refers to time in certain config files. I've done a bit of programming, so some of the config files make sense to me
[11:11] <liamjfoy> G_A_C, Using openvpn.
[11:11] <frafra> I've done a dd on my external usb drive for about 100mb over 320gb. I had a ext4 partition, and I need to recover it. I've made a new partition table with a linux partition all over my hd (as it was), but I can't mount it, and I don't know how to try to recover it
[11:11] <G_A_C> liamjfoy: you should just be able to click on the network-manager icon, go down to VPN connections, and then click it to connect it
[11:11] <uhriventis> G_A_C could you send me a message so I know it works?
[11:11] <Tyrath> do leechers affect your upload capacity?
[11:11] <liamjfoy> When I click on it it edits the connection detials.
[11:11] <liamjfoy> details.
[11:11] <koshari> AdvoWork it may have hidden files in if and unless its your home dir you wont have permissions to do it , nad if it is your home dir why would you want to delete it?
[11:12] <hdon> ozzmosis: good observation. i generally use tar, i've never liked zip's invocation syntax. it seemed fragile.
[11:12] <G_A_C> liamjfoy: However, with my vpnc based VPN, I got an error with "no valid secrets"; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/360818 has a fix from Patrick Healy, which I applied, and this fixed my problem
[11:12] <benc> how do I execute a bash script inside a bash script?
[11:12] <ozzmosis> hdon: well plus it doesn't support unix permissions :)  but it's popular in Windows, so we live with it
[11:12] <hdon> benc: bash filename
[11:12] <unop> benc, just as you would normally
[11:12] <koshari> benc place it in your path and call it
[11:12] <mobi-sheep> frafra: When you dd a partition, the data is gone forever.
[11:13] <benc> thanks
[11:13] <G_A_C> liamjfoy: you're definitely just clicking on the systray icon? and then on the VPN submenu, and then onto your VPN item
[11:13] <G_A_C> ?
[11:13] <hdon> ozzmosis: i haven't used windows for 7 years :)
[11:13] <frafra> mobi-sheep, I've overwritten only a little initial part, not everything
[11:13] <koshari> hdon where do you work, the moon?
[11:13] <hdon> ozzmosis: you have no idea how good it feels when friends or family call me asking for computer help and i tell them i no longer know anything about their computers
[11:13] <liamjfoy> G_A_C, Oh whoops yes. Now it says service failed to start.
[11:13] <ozzmosis> hdon :)
[11:13] <hdon> koshari: the company i work for does a lot of FOSS stuff
[11:14] <G_A_C> liamjfoy: oh, I don't think I can help you with that error, that's different from the one I was getting :(
[11:14] <mobi-sheep> frafra: You mean you halted a dd while it was in progress?
[11:14] <hdon> (they do run some solaris systems though)
[11:14] <frafra> mobi-sheep, yes
[11:15] <ozzmosis> hdon: I've run freebsd on a server for about 10 years but NT4/2K/XP on the desktop until 3 weeks ago when I switched to Ubuntu.  still dualbooting for some things though.
[11:15] <zaxxxon> this is the output of the ifconfig
[11:15] <zaxxxon> http://pastebin.com/m3d86933f
[11:15] <hdon> ozzmosis: s/dual boot/emulate :D
[11:15] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: Hang on.
[11:15] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: I'm still having difficulties :/
[11:15] <zaxxxon> ok
[11:15] <ozzmosis> hdon: emulation's not good enough for what I use, sadly
[11:16] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: Incorrect command line
[11:16] <hdon> ozzmosis: :(
[11:16] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: actually, I think I know what's wrong
[11:16] <mobi-sheep> frafra: I don't know how one would rescue but there are something in the repo.
[11:16] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: can you tell me what you want to do?  I assume you have a few .7z files and you want to extract them all to the same directory?
[11:16] <mobi-sheep> !info ddrescue | frafra
[11:17] <frafra> mobi-sheep, already backupped the entire disk
[11:17] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: 7z x -o "~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/" Counter*
[11:17] <hdon> koshari: with unetbootin, when it asks me to specify a target, should i specify the partition or the entire block device? (/dev/sda or /dev/sda1?)
[11:17] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: replace Counter* with Counter\*
[11:18] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: I don't want to escape the * character tho. I'm using the * to specify all
[11:18] <koshari> hdon it should detect the mounted usb device,
[11:18] <reivis> is it possible to create an a axception to few computers to not use password when connect to remote desktop? and other ones to use password.
[11:18] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: but the shell is expanding * to file1.7z file2.7z .. you don't want that
[11:18] <hdon> koshari: it did, i just wanted to make sure that was correct
[11:18]  * hdon walks away while downloads occur
[11:19] <koshari> hdon *tick* and it will want the partitiion, so sda1 ect will be the target
[11:19] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: my files are like this 7z.002 7z.003 7z.004 7z.005
[11:19] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: but they all start with counter
[11:19] <mobi-sheep> Tyrath: Just un7z the original file?
[11:19] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: isn't that just one archive that's been split?  7zip will work that out itself
[11:20] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: I used the GUI version of 7z to extract the first of the 7z.001 numbers, will that mean the rest were extracted as well?
[11:20] <mobi-sheep> Tyrath: You're looking for a particular file.  Find it and un7z it.
[11:21] <mobi-sheep> Tyrath: Yes is the probable answer.
[11:21] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: you're really doing this the hard way :)
[11:21] <Tyrath> mobi-sheep ozzmosis: thanks. I'll give it a try
[11:21] <AdvoWork> koshari, its not my home dir, its a folder within it, ive just checked, no hidden files either. anyideas?
[11:22] <zaxxxon> no one?
[11:22] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: well if I'd use the GUI to do multiple files (which is what I thought I would be doing) you can see how it could present processing problems for the CPU
[11:22] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: Okay. What version of Ubuntu are you running? And did your wireless work before?
[11:22] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: I didn't realise 7zip worked this stuff out itself
[11:22] <zaxxxon> yes my wireless worked before
[11:22] <Tyrath> ozzmosis: but yeah the extraction did seem to take longer than it should have :P
[11:22] <koshari> AdvoWork post the path again last time you posted a home dir, remember /home is not the home dir, /home/myhome is
[11:23] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: Okay. Are you using 9.04?
[11:23] <Tyrath> ozzmosis mobi-sheep: anyhow, thanks both for your help
[11:23] <Tyrath> ozzmosis mobi-sheep: i'll try the prog see what happens
[11:23] <Tyrath> ciao all
[11:23] <zaxxxon> where is it written? I don't rimember the command of the shell for the version :(
[11:23] <ozzmosis> Tyrath: 7z is pretty slow
[11:23] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: uname -a
[11:24] <zaxxxon> 2.6.27-11 generic
[11:24] <n3f> hi everyone! =)
[11:25] <n3f> is it allowed in ubuntu to share a net connection to a vista machine?
[11:25] <koshari> n3f: do it in the router
[11:25] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: Sorry. I meant lsbrelease -a
[11:25] <n3f> koshari: I am not using  a router, just two lan cards....
[11:26] <AdvoWork> koshari, theres a folder in /home/ called adirectory ie:  /home/adirectory  im trying to delete it yet it wont. theres no files nor hidden files in there. Could it be mounted or similar? how can i find whats using it?
[11:26] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: fuser /home/adirectory, I think
[11:26] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: With the underscore. lsb_release -a
[11:26] <koshari> AdvoWork GACs correct, thats a users folder,
[11:26] <zaxxxon> it doesn't work that command
[11:27] <koshari> AdvoWork you understand that home isnt the home dir but /home/thesearehomedirs/
[11:27] <mobi-sheep> AdvoWork: Run "echo $HOME" in the terminal --> What does it say?
[11:27] <AdvoWork> koshari, yeah. so what does fuser /home/adirectory do?
[11:27] <tiyowan> zaxxxon: Try: lsb_release -a
[11:28] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: it lists PIDs of programs which are currently using the /home/adirectory directory, and therefore stopping you from deleting it
[11:29] <AdvoWork> G_A_C, i tried that, it returned nothing
[11:29] <koshari> AdvoWork have you created a group or user called adirectory?
[11:29] <AdvoWork> koshari, as far as I know, no.. but i may have mounted it in the past :s
[11:29] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: maybe try running it with sudo
[11:29] <AdvoWork> G_A_C, same :S
[11:29] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: oh :)
[11:29] <koshari> AdvoWork check the owner and permissions
[11:30] <Sabir> Ïîñîâåòóéòå âåá-êîíôèãóðàòîð äëÿ ñåðâåðà

[11:30] <N3bunel> hy...
[11:31] <N3bunel> i have a problem with my sistem.... evry time on boot i see this message : WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it will be ignored in a future release.
[11:31] <AdvoWork> koshari, permissions: drwxrwxrwx  2 nobody      65533    0 2009-03-16 13:04
[11:31] <benc> I have a example.sh script that I run using ./example.sh     Now I'm trying to run it from a different folder. I've tried $folder/example.sh but it doesn't work
[11:32] <koshari> AdvoWork does that file creation date ring a bell?
[11:33] <flintwingel> benc: be more specific... what is the error message?
[11:33] <koshari> benc use full path
[11:33] <Pici> AdvoWork: Is the name of the directory nobody?
[11:33] <koshari> Pici thats the owner
[11:34] <Pici> koshari: Is it the name of the directory though?
[11:34] <benc> koshari: thanks
[11:34] <koshari> Pici the dir is called adirectory going off earlier posts
[11:35] <Pici> koshari: I assumed that was just a placeholder name
[11:36] <koshari> Pici i would be checking logs on what happened on the file creation date/time
[11:36] <Rosanet>  hi everybody I have installed the DNS in my ubuntu server but when I do nslookup <IP_ADDRESS> s the following message displays server can not find <IP_ADDRESS>.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN if you have an idea please help me thanks otherwise good day
[11:37] <koshari> Rosanet can you ping it
[11:37] <G_A_C> Rosanet: sounds like you haven't set up your zone files correctly for your LAN addresses
[11:37] <karex> HELP, how to enable USB autosuspension?
[11:38] <Rigongia> just guessing ... isn't nslookup supposed to translate hostnames into ip addresses ?
[11:38] <Rosanet> koshari:when i make nslookup mydomain.local it's ok but when i make nslookup <IP_ADDRESS> no
[11:39] <AdvoWork> Pici, no its not :S
[11:39] <G_A_C> Rosanet: you need a second zone for the reverse addresses, it sounds like you're missing this
[11:39] <AdvoWork> koshari, i think its something to do with a mount though somehow, can i check?
[11:39] <Rosanet> G_A_C: i configure all the zones
[11:39] <G_A_C> Rosanet: if that were the case, it'd be working ;)
[11:39] <Rigongia> Rosanet : try dig -x <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:39] <Rosanet> in the /etc/bind/named.conf.local
[11:39] <koshari> AdvoWork i guess you could check your fstab file
[11:40] <AussieGuy> if I do "apt-get install kde", kde wont take over as my default desktop and ill get to choose at login what I want, right?
[11:40] <bazhang> AussieGuy, kubuntu-desktop
[11:40] <ozzmosis> AussieGuy: you probably want kubuntu-desktop .. then you will get a choice at the GDM login screen
[11:41] <koshari> AussieGuy yes you will be able to choose default and session WM in the gdm screen
[11:41] <tiyowan> AussieGuy: Note that kubuntu-desktop is -big-.
[11:42] <ozzmosis> tiyowan: well, KDE is big, fullstop
[11:42] <AussieGuy> 112mb...not that big
[11:42] <dsdeiz> how to determine your resolution?
[11:42] <AussieGuy> already got konqueror installed though that could be why
[11:42] <ozzmosis> AussieGuy: it expands out .. still, not that big
[11:42] <ozzmosis> AussieGuy: same
[11:42] <ziroday> dsdeiz: xrandr
[11:43] <tiyowan> AussieGuy, ozzmosis: Well, it's not big by today's standards, true.
[11:44] <AussieGuy> not with 1Tb hard drives :)
[11:44] <dsdeiz> ziroday: i'm not quite sure how to interpret it, here's the result http://paste.ubuntu.com/186423/
[11:44] <dsdeiz> :D
[11:45] <ziroday> dsdeiz: sure, currently its working at 1280x800 which is the maximum
[11:45] <tiyowan> AussieGuy: Actually, it's this habit of mine. Everytime I look at a file that needs to be downloaded, I automatically calculate how long it would take on 14.4k dialup. :)
[11:45] <dsdeiz> ahh, that's good to know, thanks ziroday
[11:45] <Da_Fra> Hi! Is there any XFCE user???
[11:45] <AdvoWork> koshari, ahhh.. etc/fstab shows: 192..../adirectory  /home/adirectory cifs exec   can i get rid of just that one? as its not longer needed
[11:45] <ziroday> Da_Fra: #xubuntu will probably have a few
[11:46] <Da_Fra> :P yep :)
[11:46] <Da_Fra> Maybe...:)
[11:46] <Da_Fra> thank you
[11:46] <koshari> AdvoWork do you not want to mount that network location at that placeholder anymore?
[11:47] <AdvoWork> koshari, no
[11:47] <AdvoWork> sudo mount -a ?
[11:47] <koshari> comment out the line and run "sudo mount -a"
[11:48] <kamiar> Is anybody there know how can I run FreeGate on ubuntu? I copied all dlls from a WinXp com to wine but still get some error in MFC42.dll
[11:48] <ziroday> kamiar: #winehq can probably help you out with that
[11:48] <koshari> kamiar: winehq?
[11:48] <bazhang> kamiar, is it the appdb?
[11:48] <AdvoWork> koshari, ran it, made no difference :S
[11:48] <bazhang> !appdb > kamiar
[11:49] <koshari> AdvoWork you will still need the delete the palceholder
[11:49] <AdvoWork> koshari, how?
[11:49] <AdvoWork> i commented it out, did sudo mount -a
[11:49] <koshari> sudo rm -R /home/adirectory
[11:49] <kamiar> bazhang, ubottu, ziroday, koshari : thank you :)
[11:50] <Da_Fra> ziroday: #xubuntu semms to be a dead channel...:)
[11:50] <ziroday> Da_Fra: you just need to be patient, if its not xfce related you can ask here
[11:51] <AdvoWork> koshari, still says: Device or resource busy
[11:51] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: try sudo umount /home/adirectory
[11:51] <G_A_C> in my experience, mount -a only *mounts* stuff, it won't *unmount* things you've removed from fstab
[11:51] <Da_Fra> ghghghhggh I'll wait, but It's a bit boring to wait over there all alone...:)
[11:52] <mohanohi> hi.
[11:52] <AdvoWork> G_A_C, perfect, thankyou
[11:52] <mohanohi> y doesn't live cd of ubuntu doesn't detect ethernet ?
[11:53] <Aspin> is esword available in ubuntu these days?  I heard someone did a package!

[11:54] <G_A_C> AdvoWork: cat /etc/passwd
[11:54] <nandodutra> hello

[12:02] <Aspin> N3bunel: Search google a bit more
[12:02] <Vinceman> ziroday, but I'm talking about programming flash apps myself
[12:03] <N3bunel> i try but without help
[12:03] <AdvoWork> Ive got 4 users on my system that Im wanting to delete. Is there a way I can see if there is anything on the system that those users are used for etc?
[12:03] <ziroday> N3bunel: have you taken a look?
[12:03] <Aspin> depends on your search input
[12:03] <ziroday> Vinceman: right, I have no idea how that works sorry
[12:03] <earthling> is it possible to merge two partitions without loosing data
[12:03] <N3bunel> yep
[12:04] <earthling> two partitions being my /home folder and the /tmp folder
[12:04] <ziroday> N3bunel: remove the old ndiswrapper driver and follow that, it should get you up and running in no time
[12:04] <simplexio> AdvoWork: man find , and search files owned by username
[12:04] <Niels_> Hi Folks!Has anyone ever shrinked a 5TB ext3 Partition down to the half?If so, how long did it take to finish?
[12:04] <ziroday> Niels_: I would imagine that would take an extremely long time
[12:04] <N3bunel> ok i try now
[12:04] <ozzmosis> Niels_: eek .. I'd probably use XFS or something instead :)
[12:04] <simplexio> earthling: no. i dont think so. but there isnt anything importand in tmp, if you havent but it there
[12:05] <Niels_> ziroday, extremely long? 1hr?2hrs? or even more?
[12:05] <simplexio> earthling: and i think /tmp/ is cleaned in every reboot
[12:05] <ozzmosis> Niels_: at least, from my understanding of ext3, it's not really suitable for such large partitions...
[12:05] <ziroday> Niels_: it depends on lots of factors, but 2 hours is not unheard of
[12:05] <Aspin> N3bunel:  other drivers for eg Netgear might actually work for yours
[12:05] <Niels_> ziroday, thx
[12:06] <earthling> simplexio : I wanted to increasse the size of my /home usinf the /t,p partition
[12:07] <simplexio> earthling: i think you can clean tmp and add it to home so that you dont loose data on home
[12:08] <simplexio> earthling: but so that you dont lost data on both partition.. no
[12:08] <earthling> simplexio : but that will not increase the size of /home partition
[12:08] <slipttees> hello guys
[12:09] <kane77> I am so happy now! I finally understood how jack works and I found lots of guitar efects for ubuntu! :D
[12:09] <slipttees> i can install ubuntu in GUID shema ?
[12:09] <simplexio> earthling: it should be possible to format /tmp and add it to home, without loosing data on home
[12:09] <Aspin> N3bunel: looks like this guy may have got it working  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7370379
[12:09] <ozzmosis> kane77: JACK is great ... if you have the CPU power :-)  I need to upgrade!  argh ;)
[12:10] <simplexio> earthling: but it easier and much more secure just get one hd more and but it to /home/
[12:10] <ozzmosis> kane77: where did you find the guitar effects?
[12:10] <kane77> ozzmosis, http://linux-sound.org/fx.html
[12:10] <ozzmosis> kane77: thanks
[12:10] <TheFunkbomb> Anyone else having a problem with npviewer.bin or flash in general?
[12:11] <earthling> thanks all
[12:11] <kane77> ozzmosis, in my oppinion the best is rakarrack
[12:11] <dsdeiz> i've installed xfonts-terminus although can't find it in xfontsel :S
[12:11] <slipttees> i can install ubuntu in GUID shema ?
[12:12] <kane77> good thing is that they work with jack, so you can chain them together, so if one program has distortion that you like and other has good chorus effect then you can chain them :)
