[07:12] <jrattner1> shawnie give me a few more minutes if i can't figure it out by  1:30 then give up
[07:12] <fistandantilus> niall: not needed, it knows what its converting to
[07:12] <server_> Hey how can i reset my Mysql Password (I have no clue what it is.)
[07:12] <niall> kk
[07:12] <shawnie> 1.30? LOL
[07:12] <shawnie> I'm in the U here. LOL
[07:13] <ephesius> erUSUL: do you know of a good command line one because i need to ssh into my server then use irc
[07:13] <shawnie> But that's cool. If you can fix it I'd be very grateful.
[07:13] <wizbowes> hi - having trouble installing dapper on my old IBM T20.  It runs fine from the live disc but fails at 72% when running the installer.  I'm guessing it's a problem with my hard drive.  The installer has reformated this now - so my old windows os is lost.  Any ideas where to start with this?  (this if my first Linux experience)
[07:13] <oskude> server_: try "mysqladmin -u root password yournewpassord"
[07:13] <zazeem> help me please :(
[07:13] <dr_willis> wizbowes,  could try the alterantive/text based installer - it may spit out some more verbose error messates as to whats going wrong.
[07:14] <shawnie> Could you IM me sometime as I need to go make some food but I'll hear it make a noise.
[07:14] <server_> oskude, I Got. mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
[07:14] <server_> error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
[07:14] <zazeem> i cant make any files, i installed all the programs to do it but i aways get the same error after
[07:14] <oskude> server_: with the command i gave ?
[07:15] <server_> oskude, Yeah
[07:15] <Ricesteam> hi, i'm new to linux and I have a question about Gaim
[07:15] <oskude> server_: ah, you need "sudo" for that(i think), sorry
[07:15] <wizbowes> dr willis - thanks - is this is a seperate download from the website is it?  not shown as an option on the opening menu for me...
[07:15] <dr_willis> zazeem,   i think ya need to clarify what you are trying to do.
[07:15] <esperegu> I am trying to upgrade to 6.06 with the update manager. but I keep getting an error that a zip subprocess is failing on Sources.gz . any suggestions?
[07:15] <jrattner1> shawnie you get my message
[07:15] <ttyfscker> i am having some kind of issue with my dvd writer in linux.. i keep getting i/o errors when i try to burn a dvd.. if i burn a cd however it works flawlessly.  can someone help me figure out how to get this fixed?  i have a dell inspiron 6000, and the drive is a sony 20x cdrw 6x dvd +- r(w)    any help?
[07:15] <shawnie> Yeah. You get my reply?
[07:15] <dr_willis> wizbowes,  they got 2 cd's the livecd/installer. and then the Other Alternative installer/cd
[07:16] <jrattner1> shawnie: no
[07:16] <oskude> server_: oh, that works only if theres no password set yet. so you have set a password allready ?
[07:16] <shawnie> Oh
[07:16] <zazeem> dr_willis: making files from archives, i have downloaded simple programs that require to be made usiign make and none work, i think somthing is wrong
[07:16] <shawnie> I said "Sorry?"
[07:16] <dr_willis> wizbowes,  just seems its harder to trouble shoot the livecd's installer.
[07:16] <Ricesteam> does anyone know, in Gaim, how to change the font colors, etc in the conversation windows?
[07:16] <shawnie> Why would you need my username, password and IP address?
[07:16] <server_> oskude, Yeah, but i have no clue what it is..
[07:16] <dr_willis> zazeem,  you are trying to  compile programs from the source code.. You mean to say?
[07:16] <ephesius> Ricesteam: it should be under edit > preferences
[07:16] <jrattner1> shawnie because i was going to modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst file for you because i suspect you did it incorrectly
[07:16] <zazeem> dr_willis: yes
[07:16] <oskude> well, there are ways to "reset" it, try google
[07:17] <Oni-Dracula> has anyone noticed ubuntu starting a hell of a lot speedier than usual?
[07:17] <Warbo> Ricesteam: You can change your own with the little buttons above the text entry box. Other than that you can remove all colours in the preferences (like I do)
[07:17] <jrattner1> shawnie: your pad should work with the kernel running with acpi=off
[07:17] <Oni-Dracula> my system just booted in under 10 seconds
[07:17] <Barnabas> hey guys , I installed ubuntu for my dad, worked like a charm, and suddenly it stopped loading the graphics interface, The login screen works but afterwards all I get as a cursor, no menus etc. , any ideas?
[07:17] <dr_willis> zazeem,  Then why dident ya say so. :P  - First. be sure to 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
[07:17] <shawnie> Oh
[07:17] <zazeem> dr_willis: i dont know what it is im a nub :(
[07:17] <dr_willis> zazeem,  then other dev packagtes and libs may be needed - depending on the source
[07:17] <zazeem> ok
[07:17] <shawnie> Well I'm gonna just go back to Windows.
[07:17] <zazeem> thanks :)
[07:17] <server_> oskude, Hello?
[07:17] <shawnie> Thanks anyway though. It's sounding like too much hard work.
[07:17] <jrattner1> shawnie: alright good luck : )
[07:18] <dr_willis> !source
[07:18] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:18] <oskude> server_: yes ?
[07:18] <shawnie> LOL I'm a wimp and used to the Windows thing working.
[07:18] <Bob535> Shawnie, it took me 4 tries to get off windows
[07:18] <jrattner1> well windows is for wimps : ) hehe
[07:18] <server_> oskude, How can i reset my password if its already set?
[07:18] <shawnie> Really?
[07:18] <jrattner1> it took me like 6
[07:18] <Oni-Dracula> hmm there was a recent update to ubuntu common and the kernel... maybe that sped things up
[07:18] <oskude> server_: try google
[07:18] <shawnie> Why did you keep trying?
[07:18] <Spec> have you used windows, shawnie?
[07:18] <jrattner1> i kept trying cause i knew there was something better
[07:18] <Bob535> Because linux keeps getting better
[07:19] <server_> oskude, tried that already...
[07:19] <shawnie> Yeah
[07:19] <jrattner1> shawnie: you'll get it, maybe your just not ready yet
[07:19] <oskude> server_: hmm...
[07:19] <fistandantilus> there's a fun level with working on linux for alot of ppl
[07:19] <polpak> server_: restart in recovery mode, and at the root prompt type passwd myuser
[07:19] <shawnie> I want to swap but something so simple like a touchpad really doesn't fill me with confidence.
[07:19] <Bob535> each time i tried i got slightly better at figuring things out, eventually it just all works for me
[07:19] <jrattner1> the fun is getting things tyo work : )
[07:19] <Barnabas> ...
[07:19] <polpak> shawnie: blame the HW manufacturer
[07:19] <fistandantilus> jrattner1: depending on who you are .. we dont mind, to others its a nightmare
[07:19] <server_> polpak, ....
[07:20] <jrattner1> fistandantilus true
[07:20] <Ricesteam> thank you all!
[07:20] <oskude> server_: this is what i get with google as first answer :/ http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[07:20] <wizbowes> cheers dr w - I'll get in downloading the other right now.
[07:20] <fistandantilus> honestly toshiba laptops have bad history with linux detecting thier devices, even on the old ones, i used to have one
[07:20] <polpak> shawnie: it's not linuxes fault if your hw manufacturer doesn't either make drivers for linux OR open the spec for the hardware so someone else can
[07:20] <server_> oskude, I was there. Didnt get it to work
[07:20] <oskude> server_: then try the next "howto"
[07:20] <chollis> server sudo passwd root
[07:20] <shawnie> So there's a chance it'll never work?
[07:21] <polpak> chollis: root doesn't have a password
[07:21] <Bob535> always a chance something will never work
[07:21] <shawnie> Right
[07:21] <fistandantilus> shawnie: oh im sure with time and patience you could get it working now, but out of the box working maybe not
[07:21] <polpak> chollis: the root user is disabled
[07:21] <oskude> server_: does this work ? http://www.megalinux.net/archives/000183.html
[07:21] <shawnie> I'm off to windows then. LOL
[07:21] <dr_willis> polpak,  that sets one for root.
[07:21] <shawnie> Thanks for the advice and help anyway guys.
[07:21] <chollis> replace root with your username
[07:21] <polpak> dr_willis: I know, but it's not recommended
[07:21] <polpak> shawnie: eh.. yeah, good luck with that
[07:22] <dr_willis> polpak,   then tell them that. :P its not really disabled. Its just got no password by default..   We had a huge argument over this a few weeks ago in here. :)
[07:22] <chollis> works on most any debian based systems
[07:22] <fistandantilus> lol i remember that
[07:23] <burhan> has the wwdc keynote already started?
[07:23] <Trae> Anyone use this with Ubuntu?  http://www.realistanew.com/projects/alacarte/
 hey man I renamed the files fear.bin and fear.cue although the terminal is still reporting the old names
[07:23] <m4rk> how do i format a usb drive in ubuntu?:(
[07:23] <Trae> it won't install... I get this error: http://pastebin.ca/120915
[07:24] <fistandantilus> niall: i doubt you actually rename them then, if terminal is showing the old names
[07:24] <burhan> Trae: its already in ubuntu
[07:24] <oskude> Trae: did you do "sudo apt-get install alacarte" ?
[07:24] <server_> oskude, Should i just type "mysqld --skip
[07:24] <fistandantilus> Trae: you do know ala carte comes installed by default in dapper?
[07:24] <Trae> 0.8
[07:24] <Trae> not 0.9
[07:24] <polpak> m4rk: check the device name with the mount command, unmount it, (don't unplug it) and use mkfs.vfat to format the device
[07:24] <Trae> 0.9 has bug fixes
[07:24] <oskude> server_: dunno
 in my video folder it says the new names in the gui not in terminal
[07:24] <server_> oskude, grant tables
[07:24] <burhan> Trae: what's the difference?
[07:24] <Trae> 0.8 is not scottish... it'd crap
[07:24] <Trae> heh
[07:24] <server_> oskude, Ill try it
[07:25] <polpak> m4rk: you can use a different fs type if you don't need windows interoperability
[07:25] <Trae> 0.8 ala carte is busted in Ubuntu
[07:25] <fistandantilus> niall: start a new terminal and see if the names changed
[07:25] <Trae> in Dapper Drake
[07:25] <fistandantilus> busted? works fine here
[07:25] <finalbeta> So weird, I'm using netbeans (Java IDE), somethimes when I open a dialog box, other windows on the desktop vanish, just now even the GNOME panels vanished.
[07:25] <burhan> busted how?
[07:25] <Thor2> does network install mean it will get the files from the internet ?
[07:25] <polpak> Thor2: usually yes
 still the same man
[07:25] <Trae> it doesn't save names or icons like it's supposed to.
[07:25] <burhan> Thor2: yes, or a local mirror
[07:25] <Thor2> OK
[07:25] <fistandantilus> names and icons work here
[07:25] <Thor2> how do i make a local mirror
[07:25] <Thor2> ???
[07:26] <oskude> Trae: if you got problems with this http://dev.realistanew.com/alacarte/releases/0.9/alacarte_0.9-0ubuntu1~amaranth_all.deb you better report to them
[07:26] <burhan> you want a mirror or a proxy?
[07:26] <m4rk> polpak: hey that works thanks for your help dude
[07:26] <zoredache> Thor2: One nice way is to use something like apt-proxy...
[07:26] <fistandantilus> niall: did you rename in gui or terminal? try renaming in terminal instead, mv 'old long file name.bin" fear.bin
[07:26] <Trae> oskude, http://pastebin.ca/120915
[07:26] <Thor2> I have the dvd iso
[07:26] <Thor2> and two pcs
[07:26] <Trae> oskude, is my syntax wrong?
[07:26] <Thor2> want to install on one
[07:26] <smo> zoredache: will apt-proxy work well with sneakernet?
[07:26] <Trae> oh
 it has to be in those quotes
[07:26] <ubuntulover> Can you use Debian Repositories in Ubuntu?
[07:26] <Thor2> dont have access to cd/dvd drive
[07:26] <Trae> oops
[07:27] <Trae> alacarte_0.9-0ubuntu1~amaranth_all.deb: HTML document text
[07:27] <Trae> *blush*
[07:27] <fistandantilus> niall: the long file name does yes
[07:27] <server_> oskude, I got into my Db. But it needs no password now. How can i get it Set to use a password. And to have that stick that way?
[07:27] <Thor2> I just want to try to install it using my local networ
[07:27] <burhan> ubunewbie: don't do that :)
[07:27] <oskude> Trae: lol... why are you logged in as root ?
 whats the rename command
[07:27] <Trae> oskude, blah, get tired of sudo foo
[07:27] <Thor2> burhan - mirror
[07:27] <MeTa[AwAy] _> can i run an opengl program through ssh from an other machine<
[07:27] <oskude> server_: dunno, ask #mysql
[07:27] <fistandantilus> niall: i just told you, mv
[07:27] <Trae> oskude, you can just sudo su -
[07:27] <MeTa[AwAy] _> ?
[07:27] <Thor2> it connects fine to the internet
[07:27] <Trae> oskude, and run several commands at once
[07:27] <Trae> :)
[07:27] <MeTa[AwAy] _> if in this machine haven't got opengl
[07:27] <burhan> niall: mv
[07:27] <fistandantilus> niall:  mv 'old long file name.bin" fear.bin
[07:27] <niall> mv as in move
[07:28] <MeTa[AwAy] _> so the rendering and calculating are both on the other machine
[07:28] <oskude> Trae: maybe the download was "broke" try download again... do they got md5 sums for that file ?
[07:28] <MeTa[AwAy] _> only the displaying in this
[07:28] <fistandantilus> moving is identical to renaming so they use one command
[07:28] <robertj> BWAAHAA the new powermac is standard with 2x 2.6 dualcore processors & 256 megs of ram
[07:28] <Trae> oskude, yeah it seems busted
[07:28] <Trae> wow
[07:28] <ubuntulover> Can you use Debian Repositories in Ubuntu?
[07:28] <burhan> split?
[07:28] <flodine> what the hell
[07:28] <Geert> nah
[07:28] <robertj> h=ma|2k must be explotiing something
[07:28] <Geert> dcc exploit :)
[07:28] <oskude> ubuntulover: i wouldnt recommend
[07:28] <robertj> I got a malformed DCC request
[07:28] <Trae> umm
[07:29] <zoredache> ubuntulover: Yes, you can point to debian repositories.. You will probably have lots of dependancy issues
[07:29] <finalbeta> Must be a new mirc exploit, or an old one
[07:29] <burhan> don't tell me that exploit is still going around?!
[07:29] <cherwin> crappy modems
[07:29] <polpak> !opts

[07:29] <LoRez> finalbeta: router exploit
[07:30] <Thor2> any more info on running a local mirror ?
[07:30] <burhan> I thought freenode did something to avoid this?
[07:30] <finalbeta> LoRez, router exploit?
[07:30] <polpak> burhan: they did
[07:30] <val_sexy> I'm so kewl
[07:30] <nalioth> burhan: watch for the " $NICK has quit [K-lined  "  among all the afflicted
[07:30] <LoRez> burhan: told people to connect to a different port.
[07:30] <dr_willis> wowsers
[07:30] <cherwin> crappy routers, damn
[07:30] <dr_willis> :)
[07:30] <server_> oskude, Its working :)
[07:30] <chollis> that sucks
[07:30] <burhan> Thor2: you could do the 'hack' way and just nfs mount /var/cache/apt/archives from your local server.
[07:30] <oskude> server_: nice!
[07:30] <dr_willis> crappy 'firewall protection featrure' :)
[07:30] <cherwin> haha
[07:31] <burhan> wow excellent protection there.
[07:31] <Geert> :p
[07:31] <burhan> nalioth: I don't see that kline text.
[07:31] <LoRez> <-- [jade]  has quit (K-lined)
[07:31] <burhan> ah there it is.
[07:31] <bbrazil> dr_willis: no, an incorrect D C C nat feature for an edge case
[07:31] <burhan> its scrolling by too fast lol
[07:31] <Wanderer> ugly one there
[07:31] <ephesius> why is it affecting the same people
[07:31] <nalioth> burhan: look in the middle of ALL those people that leave suddenly, look at the quit reasons
[07:31] <Thor2> my server is a windows machine...
[07:31] <sloof3> Hi jade...
[07:31] <ephesius> how come i havent gotten kicked
[07:32] <cherwin> Wandere: the same people got the same stupid routers
[07:32] <Thor2> any way to do a hard disk install ?
[07:32] <nalioth> ephesius: because those people won't upgrade their routers
[07:32] <dr_willis> heh - from what id read - it was a  'security feature' of some of the routers/stuff.
[07:32] <finalbeta> ephesius, it makes sense that it's always the same people, because those are vulnerable, you are not.
[07:32] <sloof3> ephesius: Your router doesn't suck?
[07:32] <burhan> Thor2: that's what a livecd install is.
[07:32] <chollis> yea i got a coyote linux floppy router setup
[07:32] <dr_willis> but the fix for freenode is to connect to some higher port.. but i forget the port #
[07:32] <finalbeta> dr_willis, can you provide me that reading material? :p
[07:32] <burhan> dr_willis: do you remember which one?
[07:32] <bbrazil> dr_willis: no that was something elese that affected nortan
[07:32] <bugs__> ya gotta fix all the bugs!
[07:32] <ephesius> finalbeta: makes sense i should have said why are these peopl evulnerable
 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19938
[07:32] <dr_willis> i was thinking it was port 8000 or somthing.
[07:33] <zoredache> It sure seems like freenode could block the dcc requests that cause this...
[07:33] <burhan> go LoRez (?? who tha heck is LoRez??)
[07:33] <dr_willis> zoredache,  evey just saying the correct 'd c c stuff' line in channel will cause it.
[07:34] <D|scOveR|> hello
[07:34] <dr_willis> zoredache,  this attack is just doing it in a not publicy said methid. it seems.
[07:34] <polpak> hi
[07:34] <D|scOveR|> can I ask something?
[07:34] <polpak> yes
[07:34] <burhan> !ask
[07:34] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:34] <bbrazil> dr_willis: that could be blocked too, freenode does some crazy stuff
[07:34] <polpak> !justask
[07:34] <p33squad> pee squad dcc exploit!
[07:34] <Geert> :p
[07:34] <yamal> 10 left
[07:34] <burhan> I know there are some people cursing their routers.
[07:34] <fistandantilus> niall: those arent qoutes, plz follow the syntax exactly, it needs " on both side not '
[07:35] <cherwin> how annoying...
[07:35] <finalbeta> I turned of SPI on mine :p, I'm fine with nat.
[07:35] <burhan> I wonder how someone tripped upon this exploit.
[07:35] <bbrazil> burhan: probably a buggy irc client
[07:35] <dr_willis> likely that you can prevent the DCC exploit from working by connecting to us via port 8001 rather than port 6667
[07:35] <sloof3> This is why people should use decent routers.
[07:36] <ompaul> nalioth, @@ ?
[07:36] <dr_willis> its the better routers that are being over paranoid that are the probmen I think. :P
[07:36] <Jimmey> chown +r james:james .etwolf returns: chown: `+r': invalid user
[07:36] <sloof3> Jimmey: -r

[07:36] <D|scOveR|> I have a DVD-RAM drive and I wondered can I install Ubuntu on a DVD-RAM disc, since it is random access, it should be possible, but I am not sure. So guys, please answer! :)
[07:36] <LoRez> nalioth: you redirecting them?
[07:36] <nalioth> LoRez: i am
[07:36] <Ribs> How do you know it's routers and not the IRC client?
[07:37] <fistandantilus> cause it will do it regardless of the client
 sorry man my bad didnt go into the fearandloathing folder doh
[07:37] <zazeem> dr_willis: it still wont work
[07:37] <Jimmey> sloof3, burhan, thanks :)
[07:37] <dr_willis> zazeem,  what dont work? :P
[07:37] <zazeem> dr_willis: i did cd to the directory of the makefile then typed make
[07:37] <burhan> D|scOveR|: interesting thought, I don't think it will work though.
[07:37] <bbrazil> Ribs: this was big about 2 months ago
[07:37] <labau> still lol
[07:37] <fistandantilus> niall: np
[07:37] <zazeem> dr_willis: got a bunch of errrors
[07:37] <dr_willis> zazeem,  normally you do a ./configure, make, make install
[07:37] <tholmes> hi folks -- im looking for a new package of KVIRC for ubuntu -- the 3.2.4  it has features that i want -- how can i make it show up?
[07:37] <burhan> D|scOveR|: because ubuntu needs to write to the disk as well
[07:37] <zazeem> o
 again thanks for your patience
[07:38] <zazeem> dr_willis: do i have to cd to the directory first?
[07:38] <dr_willis> zazeem,  check the docvs for the program you are trying to compile.. it may also need some libraries and the assoiucated library-dev packages
[07:38] <dr_willis> zazeem,  ./configure is running it from the current dir.. so yes.
[07:38] <zazeem> dr_willis: it only says to type makefile
[07:38] <zazeem> dr_willis: it is a gimp plugin
[07:38] <fistandantilus> niall: i gotta go soon though so we need to wrap this up otherwise ill be back in about an hour
[07:38] <burhan> zazeem: what are you trying to build?
[07:38] <zazeem> a gimp plugin
[07:39] <dr_willis> zazeem,  no clue there then.. it could be a badly written plugin. or it may want some gimp-dev packages
[07:39] <Spec> DBO: did you ban labau?
[07:39] <DBO> Spec, yeah
[07:39] <Spec> and mostwanted?
[07:39] <zazeem> burhan: a gimp plugin
[07:39] <burhan> *sigh* man this is getting annoying.
[07:39] <server_> Does anybody use vhcs2?
[07:39] <LoRez> Spec: yes.
[07:39] <burhan> zazeem: pastebin some of those errors (usually the last few lines)
[07:39] <qwerty2k> are wireless routers/adsl modems supported very well in ubuntu?
[07:39] <zazeem> burhan: ok
[07:40] <qwerty2k> (ethernet kind)
[07:40] <Spec> qwerty2k: it's the wireless cards that don't have 100% great support
[07:40] <anosa> !samba
[07:40] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:40] <burhan> qwerty2k: supported how? Don't think there is much to support?
ok i converted the files although it made two iso files which one do i use
[07:40] <dr_willis> perhaps pervent the  exploit from working by connecting to freenode via port 8001 rather than port 6667
[07:40] <bbrazil> qwerty2k: it's all ethernet, so they just work
[07:40] <cherwin> qwerty2k, it's platform independent
[07:40] <stefg> !wifi > qwerty2k
[07:40] <anosa> !nfs
[07:40] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[07:40] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Sorry to break it to you... But Ethernet is a wired way of doing things....
[07:40] <qwerty2k> kk, thanks guys, just wanted to know if some wifi cards etc are better supported than others so i know which to buy or not to
[07:40] <server_> Does anybody have vhcs working on there Server of Pc?
[07:40] <server_> !vhcs
[07:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about vhcs - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:40] <tomekdd> hi all
[07:40] <fistandantilus> niall: two iso files? what do you mean?
[07:41] <qwerty2k> Ribs, yeah, i realised how dumb it sounded afte i said it
[07:41] <tomekdd> i've got some problems with my ubuntu..
[07:41] <boolka> Does dapper have a text based installer? im new to linux, but I would like to learn it..
[07:41] <tomekdd> can sb help me ?
[07:41] <Ribs> qwerty2k: :)
[07:41] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Laptop or desktop?
[07:41] <fistandantilus> boolka: the alternate iso cd, as i stated before
[07:41] <qwerty2k> Ribs, desktop
[07:41] <dr_willis> boolka,  the 'alternate cd installer is text based'
[07:41] <sloof3> boolka: Use the Alternative Install disk
[07:41] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Well, I'm not too clued up in that area
[07:41] <erUSUL> !install > boolka
[07:41] <Ribs> qwerty2k: My advice, search the forums, see what people are saying...
[07:42] <cherwin> !ask > tomekdd
[07:42] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Do you mean by way of a wireless card?
[07:42] <qwerty2k> Ribs, ok, will do, might get ethernet wired one then, just wanted wireless for my xbox 360 and ninty wii when it comes out
[07:42] <michael___> Hello all. I have installed the ati drivers in ubuntu and have dualscreen running fine. however, fglrxinfo tells me i am using Mesa OpenGL, and it should be ATI OpenGL. I have compared my xorg.conf to one my friend has but i do not see where the opengl thing is located. can anybody point me in the right direction, please?
[07:42] <tomekdd> i cannot configure the net on ubuntu
[07:42] <niall> when i did the command like so bchunk fear.bin fear.cue fear then it made fear01.iso which is 602kb and fear02 which is 702mb
[07:42] <tomekdd> i already did it but it doens't work
[07:42] <cherwin> tomekdd: anything to add to that?
[07:42] <Ribs> tbh, wired ethernet is more secure, faster, and less of a pita when it comes to setting it up, on any OS
[07:42] <wasauce> can anyone help me setup my box to run some code whenever it boots? right now here is what i am doing: http://wasauce.blogspot.com/ but this doesnt always work
[07:42] <seraphi1> Hi folks!
[07:42] <tomekdd> i gave ip adresses, dns
[07:42] <qwerty2k> Ribs, true
[07:42] <fistandantilus> niall: how big is the original bin?
[07:43] <tomekdd> and then typed pppoeconf
[07:43] <Ribs> Most wireless routers have at least one ethernet port anyway
[07:43] <zazeem> burhan: heres the link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19939
[07:43] <zazeem> burhan: there is no configure file
[07:43] <tomekdd> everything went well
[07:43] <Ribs> my desktop and server run on a ethernet port each, and I have the wireless for my laptop and PSP :)
[07:43] <qwerty2k> Ribs, :O
[07:43] <erUSUL> wasauce: put the code or a call to a script in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[07:43] <ompaul> na got them both
[07:43] <tomekdd> i type iwconfig , it shows that i am connected
 807mb
[07:43] <zazeem> burhan: there is a config file though
[07:43] <ompaul> nalioth,  got them both
[07:43] <tomekdd> but when i try to ping my host i can't
[07:43] <cherwin> tomekdd: you are beeing very opaque
[07:43] <tomekdd> :/
[07:43] <qwerty2k> that would be perfect, ethernet it to my pc then use the wireless for xbox and wii :)
[07:43] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Aye
[07:44] <wasauce> erUSUL: okay i will try that...
[07:44] <Thor> # DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR=`pwd` ./debootstrap --arch i386 breezy /mnt/ubuntu http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy <-- what files of the install cd does this command get ?
[07:44] <Ribs> qwerty2k: I don't know where in the world you live... But in the UK market 'wireless' router/ADSL/firewall combination boxes are fairly cheap, and all have at least one ethernet port
[07:44] <Ribs> Mine has four ethernet ports :)
[07:44] <tomekdd> cherwin : once againt..
[07:44] <Warbo> Gagh. Gazpacho crashed again :( (this time it's player 3 that is the problem)
[07:44] <qwerty2k> Ribs, im in uk :), was gonna ask if you would suggest a brand/particular product to get
[07:45] <tomekdd> i have to use pppoe script to connect to my network.
[07:45] <fistandantilus> niall: ive never had it split it into two files, i would think the big one woulod be the one you need but i dont know its smaller than the original .. did it do the same thing to the other movie? or did you try it?
[07:45] <zoredache> wasauce: I suspect I would do it as an up <cmd> in your //etc/network/interfaces file...
[07:45] <tomekdd> in linux terminal i type pppoeconf, and it causes configuration of this script
[07:45] <D|scOveR|> so, there is no chance that Ubuntu or any other operating system can be installed on a DVD-RAM disc?
[07:45] <qwerty2k> Ribs, caus my wired netgear atm SUCKS, it constantly cuts out as it cant handle too many requests at once :S
 the other movie is avi
[07:45] <D|scOveR|> so, there is no chance that Ubuntu or any other operating system can be installed on a DVD-RAM disc?
[07:45] <tomekdd> everything seems to be good
[07:45] <tsume> huh
[07:45] <seraphi1> I've a problem with my USB-keyboard, it doesn't load at startup. Anyone can tell me where or how/where  I can configure the module loading behavior? I'm using the latest Xubuntu
[07:45] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Well, the SpeedTouch 580 works well here. The default firmware should be updated if you can to the latest version (requires a windows PC :( )
[07:46] <D|scOveR|> so, there is no chance that Ubuntu or any other operating system can be installed on a DVD-RAM disc?
[07:46] <yamal> hmmz?
[07:46] <ompaul> LoRez, whjat is that think to make +r exits?
[07:46] <tomekdd> :>
[07:46] <fistandantilus> D|scOveR|: quit repeating
[07:46] <tsume> okay, whoever the mirc user is, that is just pure chlidish
[07:46] <hollero> Does Ubuntu let me login as root?
[07:46] <qwerty2k> Ribs, dont have a windows pc :(, but a mate does :D
[07:46] <ompaul> !root > hollero
[07:46] <polpak> hollero: no, use sudo
[07:46] <ardchoille> hollero: No, you need to use sudo
[07:46] <tsume> but I expect just as much, because its a mIRC user
[07:46] <Jman888> msg NickServ IDENTIFY jordan
[07:46] <ompaul> hollero, no read the message from the bot
[07:46] <Ribs> qwerty2k: The Speedtouch 580 is, like, fairly old, but works on all OSes, and is uber-cheap when you can find it
[07:46] <Ribs> qwerty2k: and it's pretty realiable
[07:46] <ompaul> Jman888, change your password
[07:46] <zazeem> burhan: u there?
[07:46] <qwerty2k> cool
[07:46] <Elite2k> woah finally works.. let me be the first to say windows XP can go to HELL i am a n00b to linux but ubuntu kills XP !!!!!
[07:46] <stefg> D|scOveR|: please stop exposing your lack of closer thought every 30 secs.. :-) that's wishful thinking and you know yourself why it is
[07:46] <Ribs> qwerty2k: The default firmware does a good job... But the newer firmware has sexy features
[07:46] <qwerty2k> Ribs, no problems with bittorrent or anythnig like that?
[07:47] <cherwin> D|sc0veR|: you have to know that it isn't regularly used escpecially in Europe where i'm from
[07:47] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Once you tell it to forward the ports, it copes pretty well
[07:47] <qwerty2k> Ribs, cool, cheers will look into it
[07:47] <Ribs> qwerty2k: I've has *very* occasional problems with, and it's on 24/7
[07:47] <MikkelRev> Hi, I have a Ubuntu 6.06 CD-R which I tried to install for a friend. But when I booted the CD, it just stopped at the beginning where it tries to mount root file system. I have tried the same physical CD on two different comps, and it works ok there. What could be wrong on his comp?
[07:47] <fistandantilus> niall: hmm, will you paste me an ls -l from the directory the files are in and put in on the pastebin?
[07:47] <Ribs> qwerty2k: once the wireless stopped working, a quick power cycle sorted that
 yeah its on the way
[07:47] <Ribs> qwerty2k: But yeah, it's good kit for the money
[07:47] <qwerty2k> Ribs, cool, i will check ebuyer etc for it
[07:47] <D|scOveR|> cherwin: I am from europe too, Macedonia :)
[07:48] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Good man :)
[07:48] <cherwin> D|scOveR|: then why are you using such type of media, just use something else
[07:48] <hollero> sudo works!
[07:48] <hollero> thanks
[07:49] <LadyNikon> oh good lord
[07:49] <LoRez> nalioth: I klined the a-hole ghosting him.
[07:49] <Ribs> qwerty2k: Check as many shops as you can... Remember you're paying for just one product (no shop can offer anything special for extra money), so get the cheapest
[07:49] <nalioth> LoRez: ok
[07:49] <nalioth> LoRez: i'm glad, cuz this is not the first time
[07:49] <Spec> MikkelRev: i guess you should probably run a memory tester on that comp, just to make sure the mem's good
[07:49] <stefg> MikkelRev: there might be problems with the motherboard. Some Kobos have broken ACPI, which is ignored by win, but affects linux, another reason might be an IRQ conflict
[07:49] <Ribs> shouldn't Jman888 change his password?
[07:49] <qwerty2k> Ribs, will do, will check ebuyer, dabs, aria, scan etc :)
[07:49] <D|scOveR|> cherwin: I was interested in how it works, so I bought a DVD-RAM drive and disc
[07:49] <LadyNikon> nalioth: i take it I dont have to say anything about you guys having a bot problem
[07:50] <D|scOveR|> cherwin: it is a new experience for me
[07:50] <LadyNikon> heh
[07:50] <FeestBijtje> ive installed XGL + Compiz and its loadet success fully but now i cannot start AMSN whats the problem?
[07:50] <nalioth> LadyNikon: it's not just us, it's network wide
[07:50] <LadyNikon> ah
[07:50] <seraphi1> Anyone can tell my how the modules for usb are loaded in the latest version of ubuntu? becaucse my usb-keyboard first loads after i logged in with a ps/2 keyboard and opened a terminal...
[07:50] <justaguy> "network wide" ... what?
[07:50] <MikkelRev> Spec: I tried the memory check and the CD check from the CD boot menu, no errors. The comp has Windows running which works ok.
[07:50] <cherwin> D|scOveR|: hmm ok, anyway just hook the stuff up and see what happens. keep a close eye on dmesg
[07:51] <Spec> MikkelRev: hmm. and when does it fail?
[07:51] <m4rk> hmm
 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19940
[07:51] <zazeem> burhan: u there?
[07:51] <zazeem> burhan: u there?
[07:51] <D|scOveR|> cherwin: I did try it, but where the wizard asks me where to install, only the HDD is shown, not the DVD-RAM drive
[07:51] <Spec> MikkelRev: maybe you should try to boot the cd with the no acpi option (acpi=off passed to the kernel)
[07:52] <MikkelRev> Spec: at the boottime at the very beginning when it sais something like "mounting root file system"
[07:52] <tsume> okay stop
[07:52] <Thor2> any one know how to do a local network install ??
[07:52] <tsume> I was just playing with him, heh
[07:52] <tsume> I didn't mean to chase him away
[07:52] <stefg> MikkelRev: what make is the motherboard (Chipset?), what CPU is it
[07:52] <MikkelRev> Spec: I will try that. Any other suggestions if that doesnt help ?
[07:52] <erUSUL> !install
[07:52] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[07:52] <fistandantilus> niall: wow id say its the big one but there's like a 100 meg difference in filesize
[07:52] <Thor2> er4z0r - no local network install in that list...
[07:53] <Spec> MikkelRev: I suppose if that doesn't work, try out the alternate installer cd
[07:53] <MikkelRev> stefg: dunno atm, he doesnt live here... but its a fairly new comp
[07:53] <tsume> nalioth: what did Homer do?
 thats kinda crazy is there some sort of compression goin on
[07:53] <Elite2k> hey guyz i am a n00b to ubuntu got automatix running just wanted to know how come i cant get some online videos to work from websites they say does not have permission .
 will i just use k3b normally with that file
[07:53] <MikkelRev> Spec: what is the "alternate installer cd" ? I have only one Ubuntu CD (ubuntu 6.06 desktop)
[07:53] <stefg> MikkelRev: there were problems with newer Asus boards iirc
[07:53] <polpak> !automatix

[07:53] <tsume> Jman888: change your password fyi
[07:53] <fistandantilus> niall: it might be added work but vlc player will play an .iso, you might wanna install it and just see if the movie is still legit before wasting a burn on it
[07:53] <Spec> !alternate
[07:53] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[07:53] <tsume> oh, blah. he left
[07:53] <cherwin> D|scOveR|: i don't have any information for you left, i just keep wondering why the heck you wanna install ubuntu on a DVD-RAM drive, it's the same as installing ubuntu on a DVD-RW
[07:54] <nalioth> tsume: the -b shows an 'unbanning'.  All the victims of the latest attack have been directed to where they can get help
[07:54] <Spec> MikkelRev: it's The Alternate CD :p
[07:54] <bit_doidao> hello! how to take a screenshot with seconds of delay?
[07:54] <FeestBijtje> ive installed XGL + Compiz and its loadet success fully but now i cannot start AMSN whats the problem?
i do have dvdrw discs but ill try as u suggested
[07:54] <MrPockets> is there a something or other i can get as an addon for the desktop toolbar thats similar to the mac scrolling dock?
[07:54] <MrBallZ> hi, I have aproblem mounting an external USB drive on my server , thru NFS on my laptop, it tells me " Permision denied " and I have mounted another nfs share on the same server but that's a normal hdd inside the server, what can this be ?
[07:54] <erUSUL> bit_doidao: with gimp
[07:54] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: anything to add to that? we cannot see what kind of errors you have on the screen you know..
[07:54] <ardchoille> bit_doidao: gnome-screenshot --delay=5
[07:54] <fistandantilus> niall: well if they are rewritable you could try that too yeah, your option really
[07:54] <D|scOveR|> cherwin: I just wanted to try if it works, nothing more, if I want to install linux for real, i'll do it to a HDD ofcourse :) thx anyway
[07:54] <bit_doidao> FeestBijtje, some softwares maybe not 100% compatibilie with xgl, causing some issues
[07:55] <stefg> MikkelRev: you might want to go through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions to see if you can get the machine to boot. Once it's up you have logs to look at and determinae wahts wrong
[07:56] <tsume> okay, which ever netop it is, stop. Speak to levin. I only toy with people
[07:56] <bit_doidao> er4z0r, exactly! I knew i had this feature somewhere!
[07:56] <bit_doidao> erUSUL, eactly! I knew i had this feature somewhere!
[07:56] <tsume> nalioth: oh, heh.
[07:56] <MrPockets> go with a no on that?
[07:56] <bit_doidao> ardchoille, thank you too

[08:06] <zoredache> ephesius: I really like irssi
[08:06] <scrappy_> ephesius: irssi?
[08:06] <tsume> AfterDeath: it just makes a point, because theres always someone who does it and doesn't change it
[08:06] <tsume> Jman888: yeah :)
[08:06] <AfterDeath> the ONLY situation where it MIGHT be REMOTELY acceptable, is if someone isn't believing you when you tell them they need to change their password
[08:06] <chedabob> can a brother get an answer around here?
[08:06] <Jman888> tsume, :(
[08:06] <tsume> Jman888: please change your nickserv password

[08:07] <michael___> ok. i had installed my ati driver wrongly, and i edited the xorg.conf manually. i have a copy of the original. do i need to replace the edited one with the original one before i follow the ati how to instructions? or does it not matter?

[08:09] <burhan> ucordes: okay, then you cannot see it in Places > Network Servers ?
[08:09] <ZataH> anyone who have got PPTP to work in ubuntu ?
[08:09] <chedabob> whats the default ubuntu root password? cos i cant get root
[08:09] <Jman888> msg tsume Hello?
[08:09] <nalioth>                                                    !tell chedabob about root
[08:09] <ucordes> burhan: no. this is my problem. he isn't visible under smb
[08:10] <michael___> chedabob: use sudo <command> to get root rights
[08:10] <ZataH> chedabob: you can change it in your userlist
[08:10] <nalioth> !tell ZataH about root
[08:10] <burhan> ucordes: is windows file sharing disabled on that pc?
[08:10] <chedabob> oh rt, cos when i type su, it asks for a password, then wont let me in
[08:10] <ZataH> nalioth: what ?
[08:10] <nalioth> ZataH: you have a private message
[08:10] <Jimmey> I get this error whilst trying to play ET: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy Could not open /dev/dsp
[08:10] <Jman888> Does anybody know how to set up a new proftpd account with accsess to only one folder like /var/www
[08:10] <ucordes> burhan: no he got several folders shared
[08:10] <marshall__> what is the best irc client for gnome?
[08:11] <nalioth> ZataH: ubuntu comes without an active root account for a reason.  enabling it after installation can lead to breakage
[08:11] <TheGame> xchat
[08:11] <burhan> marshall__: the one you like :)
[08:11] <TheGame> xchat irc
[08:11] <michael___> mozilla irc
[08:11] <ompaul> marshall__, I use xchat not xchat-gnome :) but as burhan said ...
[08:11] <ZataH> nalioth: you can still login as root i console
[08:11] <ZataH> use Irssi :P
[08:11] <cherwin> marshall__ xchat it the most used client, but some people prefer BitchX or something else
[08:11] <marshall__> ompaul: burhan TheGame: thanks
[08:11] <nalioth> ZataH: only in the rescue console on a default machine, otherwise you need to sudo -i
[08:12] <fistandantilus> its not reccomended, not having a root password set is part of ubuntu's security
[08:12] <ZataH> no, i can log in as root, in standard terminal
[08:12] <ardchoille> marshall__: XChat is a nice graphical client. irssi and bitchx are nice text-based clients.
[08:12] <ZataH> but i have ofcorse change the root password
[08:12] <fistandantilus> zatah because you've set the root password
[08:12] <fistandantilus> normally you wouldnt be able to
[08:12] <marshall__> cherwin:  cool, thanks
[08:12] <stefg> scrappy_ you can have the best (bore) of both worlds... nexenta
[08:13] <ompaul> !root > ZataH
[08:13] <marshall__> ardchoille: thanks
[08:13] <ardchoille> marshall__: You're welcome :)
[08:13] <ZataH> fistandantilus: yea i know, and that was what i tell him to do in the first place
[08:13] <Jman888> How can i make a new ftp account in linux
[08:13] <ompaul> ZataH, that pm tells you how to remove the root password for root if you want to run the box like the rest of the planet and remember one less password
[08:13] <mopflite> ardchoille: I haven't used xchat for years, but it's the nicest gui irc client that I have used
[08:13] <ZataH> ompaul: oki
[08:13] <ZataH> i was just trying to help him
[08:13] <burhan> ucordes: do you have samba utilities installed? can you see any other machines? can you see the linux machine from windows?
[08:14] <fistandantilus> ZataH: its not a recommended suggestion, especially to new users
[08:14] <ZataH> my dist works fine, so i have no problems
[08:14] <ompaul> ZataH, never advise someone here how to set a password - tell them !root > their_nick and leave it at that
[08:14] <cherwin> !root > cherwin
[08:14] <harisund> ZataH what dist do you use?
[08:14] <ompaul> !msgthebot
[08:14] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops
[08:14] <ZataH> ompaul: why not set a password ?
[08:14] <ZataH> Ubuntu 6.06 now
[08:14] <cherwin> :p
[08:14] <ompaul> ZataH, take that to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:14] <fistandantilus> if you'd read the link it'd tell you
[08:15] <ZataH> ompaul: why ?
[08:15] <chedabob> how come when i type "su" and i type  my password, i dont get jack, but if i type Sudo <command> and enter the same password it works?
[08:15] <zim_> hi all what is the command to reconfig the network
[08:15] <Jman888> Can anybody help my with proftpd
[08:15] <zim_> hi all what is the command to reconfig the network server install
[08:15] <ompaul> because it is offtopic for here - this is support not discussion
[08:15] <ompaul> !offtopic
[08:15] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:15] <ZataH> ompaul: yea, esy on
[08:15] <ZataH> *easy
[08:15] <ompaul> ZataH, you ask I will discuss but not here
[08:15] <harisund> chedabob su only allows you to change to another user. sud allows you to become the root user temporarily
[08:15] <nalioth> chedabob: Ubuntu uses the sudo model, read the URL ubotu sent you
[08:15] <chedabob> how come i cant change to root? is it disabled?
[08:16] <fistandantilus> ...
[08:16] <fistandantilus> wow
[08:16] <harisund> !root > chedabob
[08:16] <stefg> !root
[08:16] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:16] <ompaul> !root > chedabob
[08:16] <cherwin> my god
[08:16] <cherwin> hahaha
[08:16] <fistandantilus> lets go through it one more time for kicks
[08:16] <fistandantilus> ;)
[08:16] <cherwin> doesn't anyone read Faq's anymore?
[08:16] <nalioth> chedabob: sudo can handle all your superuser needs
[08:16] <chedabob> i know what sudo and su are, but why cant i just use su to stay as root in terminal?
[08:17] <nalioth> chedabob: use sudo -i  (and read the URL that has been sent to you many times now)
[08:17] <fistandantilus> chedabob: read the link, root passwd is not set by default as a security precaution, ubuntu uses sudo instead
[08:17] <harisund> chedabob if you want to stay in terminal as root do sudo -i
[08:17] <chedabob> kk, thats all you had to say. that i cant use su for root
[08:17] <zim_> can anyone tell me the commant on a server install to reconfigure a network interface
[08:17] <chedabob> i used a linux distro before that wouldnt let you log in as root, i guess this was it
[08:17] <zim_> command
[08:18] <cherwin> zim_: ifconfig
[08:18] <bbrazil> zim_: /etc/network/interfaces, ifup,ifdown
[08:18] <zim_> is there no reconfigure command that just askes you like at the install
[08:18] <snook353> i have to reinstall the ndiswrapper driver every time i use a different WAP.  how do i fix that?
[08:19] <Frostyx> Is it possible to configure a directory to set automatically the owner of a file to someone else than the creator?
[08:19] <ucordes> burhan: i have only the normal samba which is installed from scratch. yes the windows box can see me. but it requests password on connect which won't work!
[08:19] <zim_> somthing that will rewite /etc/network/interface file
[08:19] <harisund> Frostyx I think what you are looking for is a 'setuid' bit .. either wait for someone to answer here or google that term
[08:19] <snook353> ok, thanks
[08:19] <snook353> i guess
[08:20] <Frostyx> harisund i'll google that term now, thank you
[08:20] <tholmes> hi folks -- im wanting to download a package from a cvs -- it does not have a ubuntu section specifically, but debian sarge and sid are supported -- which should i be using? -- or with it not work at all?
[08:20] <nalioth> tholmes: using debian pkgs are not advised
[08:20] <nathanial> hi folks. I have a question about BITTORENT downloading.
[08:20] <tholmes> nalioth: ok -- just get the source?
[08:21] <ompaul> tholmes, what package?
[08:21] <harisund> Frostyx the wikipedia entry might be a good page to start.
[08:21] <tholmes> kvirc
[08:21] <nalioth> tholmes: you can use debian SOURCE repos and have apt-get build you an official package right on your own system
[08:21] <ompaul> !info kvirc
[08:21] <ubotu> kvirc: KDE based next generation IRC client with module support. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2:3.2.0-5ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 2366 kB, installed size 7108 kB
[08:21] <ompaul> tholmes, you must enable universe
[08:22] <nalioth> ompaul: don't short-change tholmes please advise universe AND multiverse
[08:22] <tholmes> ompaul: yes, i however am looking for the newest version which is 3.2.4
[08:22] <Kensey> So am I the last person still using BladeEnc to burn new MP3s?
[08:22] <FurryNemesis> anyone know where I can get updated themes for CGWD which replaced compiz-themer?
[08:23] <tholmes> ompaul: i already have 3.2.0 installed -- it works great but is missing a few key features
[08:23] <ompaul> tholmes, well I would not suggest the latest but if you want to then yes source is the way you also should know about build-essential and checkinstall
[08:23] <opsidao> hi all, I need one little favour, can you run "echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" in a terminal and tell me if it gives you something (of course only if you are using ubuntu), thx
[08:23] <m4rk> how do I hide a partition so it's doesn't appear in nautilis' "Computer"
[08:23] <nalioth> tholmes: join us in #ubuntu-classroom if you would
[08:23] <mrPolite>   FurryNemesis: Synaptic Search "Compiz" or "CGWD" for teh theme pack
[08:23] <polpak> m4rk: hide a partition?
[08:24] <FurryNemesis> ty
[08:24] <m4rk> polpak yeah /dev/hda1 is a dell administrative partition with some dell tools on it but i don't want it appearing in "Computer" when it lists the paritions
[08:24] <m4rk> it's not mounted but it still shows up
[08:24] <mcquaid> hello, is there some other gtk+ equiv to baobab?
[08:25] <ubunewbie> I know this has been dealt with before elsewhere but no solution I can find is working.  I cannot get my wireless card usr5410 to go past 28% on the network configuration "Activation stage: Configuring device."  It is driving me bonkers.  Will any genius take pity on me?  I have been up and down and around the block with no hope.
[08:25] <NeoThermic> Question.. does ubuntu allow the battery to be charged to capacity granularity 2, or does it charge to the 'design capacity' if both differ?
[08:25] <bit_doidao> had anyone made palm zire 72 sync with ubuntu ddrake 6.06?
[08:26] <Cornellius> Is there an easy way to upgrade the kernel to a newer version ?
[08:27] <ErikTheRed> Cornellius: there's a few guides on the forums, but the process isn't exactly easy
[08:27] <Frostyx> Unfortunately setuid does not do what I was looking for
[08:27] <zim_> ok what happened is this i installed dapper LAMP install but let it use DHCP i have edited the interface file to fix this but it wont come up on boot i have to "ifup eth0" what is wrong or is there a command that will reconfigure it
[08:27] <zim_> can anyone help
[08:28] <zencocoon> hi
[08:28] <Kensey> ubunewbie: a post on the forums says setting the essid and running dhclient manually seems to sort it
[08:28] <zencocoon> Someone can help me with network configuration with ubuntu live 5.10
[08:28] <zencocoon> I can't connect to my router
[08:29] <TheGame> anybody have any experience with cdwg
[08:29] <Kensey> TheGame: we buy from them at work
[08:29] <ubunewbie> Kensey, thank you for the response.  Can you point me to that?  Maybe that's the one post I didn't read about it (i read zillions of others. . .) Thanks.
[08:29] <mrstocks> Hiya, is there an optimized version of ubuntu for 64bits systems ?
[08:29] <TheGame> no
[08:29] <scrappy_> Cornellius: of course installing a newer kernel is easy if its in repos but compiling your own is a little involved though straight forward
[08:29] <Kensey> ubunewbie: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225832
[08:29] <TheGame> cdwg the gnome theme engine
[08:30] <ErikTheRed> zencocoon: are you using a wireless adapter?
[08:30] <Kensey> oh that cdwg
[08:30] <TheGame> ya
[08:30] <Kensey> :)
[08:30] <mwe> The <IP_ADDRESS> patch from kernel.org applies to 2.6.17, not <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[08:30] <TheGame> my themes right now in compiz suck
[08:30] <mrstocks> do i loose lots of pref with an optimized 64 bits system ?
[08:30] <FeestBijtje> cherwin: u still here?
[08:30] <erUSUL> mwe: right
[08:30] <cherwin> yeah
[08:31] <mwe> erUSUL: thanks

[08:31] <fistandantilus> cgwd is xgl/compiz specific, regular gnome doesnt use it
[08:31] <zencocoon> how can I find if my ethernet card (Realtek Semiconductor RT8139) si supported by ubuntu live 5.10
[08:32] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: hmm doesn't sound familiar, lets google it. one moment please
[08:32] <mrstocks> should i use ubuntu on a 64bits system ?
[08:32] <legendarysock> ya why not?
[08:32] <NeoThermic> the computer is in 64 bits? You might wish to put it back together first! ;)
[08:33] <fistandantilus> lol
[08:33] <legendarysock> hahaha
[08:33] <mrstocks> its for 32bits no ?
[08:33] <mrstocks> wont i loose lots of perfs?
[08:33] <fistandantilus> yuk yuk ;)

[08:33] <FeestBijtje> cherwin: i did almost every thing what ive found on google
[08:33] <zim_> is there a command that will give me network conf dialog on a dapper server install
[08:33] <bradibus> hey i totally messed up all of my panels in the GUI... is there any way i can reset them all to how they were when i first installed ubuntu?
[08:33] <NeoThermic> mrstocks: like any good linux distro, there is a 64bit version.
[08:33] <fistandantilus> mrstocks: there is a 32 bit and 64 bit version
[08:33] <zoredache> When I am using xfce is there an init script somewhere that I can add 'ssh-add' too, and have it ran when I login?
[08:33] <legendarysock> but the original also works for 64 bits
[08:33] <mrstocks> Oh. Stupid question how do i know what version is have? i got the red cd ? :=)
[08:34] <legendarysock> the red cd?
[08:34] <ubuntu__> i  was trying to change the permissions of my home folder and i accidentally changed / folder and now i cant get root
[08:34] <mrstocks> Version 6.06 LTS, from the freecs thingy
[08:34] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: did you try this one
[08:34] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: replace the /usr/lib/tk8.5/tkfbox.tcl that comes with tk8.5_8.5.0-1~neto3_i386.deb package with the one from http://tktoolkit.cvs.sourceforge.net...?revision=1.58
[08:34] <ubuntu__> can anyone help me
[08:34] <ubunewbie> kensey can you tell me what the right switches would be for dhclient?  i ran dhclient as well as sudo dhclient wlan0 but didn't get further.
[08:34] <mwe> some 64 bit linux programs are not as mature as the 32 bit versions, if they are even ported to 64 bit
[08:34] <Dors> hi guys im totally new to this,i cant do too much things with my install user account, i want to make it as a root user, full privileges, how acn i do it?
[08:34] <zim_> is there any network gurus here i need help
[08:34] <nalioth> !tell Dors about root
[08:34] <zim_> please
[08:34] <bradibus> Is there any way I can reset all the panels in the GUI to when I booted ubuntu for the first time?
[08:35] <fistandantilus> Dors: ubuntu uses sudo instead of root to give superuser privliges
[08:35] <nalioth> Dors: you can use "sudo" from your regular account just fine
[08:35] <FeestBijtje> cherwin: if i am correct ive followed this guide: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-87001.html
[08:35] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: your problem has to do with a faulty xorg installation
[08:35] <Dors> but i can delete some folders or mount a ntfs hd because i dont have privileges :S
[08:35] <FeestBijtje> cherwin: with means i have to reboot o.0
[08:35] <NeoThermic> arg. silly ACPI
[08:35] <three> Dors: dont login as root or some 1337 h4X012 will pnw your b0x
[08:35] <ubuntu__> i accidentally typed chown -R user /
[08:35] <ubuntu__> and now i'm locked out
[08:35] <fistandantilus> d
[08:35] <mrstocks> Can't a 64bits system run 32bits progies along with 64bits ones all hand in hand ?
[08:35] <ubuntu__> i'm on the live cd now
[08:35] <nalioth> Dors: use 'sudo'
[08:36] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: no just read this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216689&page=4
[08:36] <ubuntu__> is there any way i can set it back
[08:36] <mwe> ubuntu__: that's hard to fix
[08:36] <NeoThermic> it's going to charge my battery to the granualrity 2 setting
[08:36] <fistandantilus> Dors: if you dont have privliges on a command type sudo before it and when it asks for password but your user password in
[08:36] <nalioth> ubuntu__: you'll need to make a new user and copy your files and .files over
[08:36] <legendarysock> *goes to pnws dors b0xzorz*
[08:36] <TheGateKeeper> Dors: fyi password in the cli will not give you ant feedback
[08:36] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: you will find a couple of solutions there
[08:36] <NeoThermic> but the G2 setting is uh, 55,714, yet the design capacity is only 4,000 mAh
[08:36] <ubuntu__> how nalioth
[08:36] <ubuntu__> i cant get root powers
[08:36] <ubuntu__> /etc/sudoers is messed up
[08:37] <ubuntu__> im on the live cd now
[08:37] <mwe> ubuntu__: if you did it in / I think your system is hosed, more or less
[08:37] <erUSUL> ubuntu__: boot in recovery mode
[08:37] <ubuntu__> is there any way i can do it from that
[08:37] <nalioth> ubuntu__: when you restart the computer, boot into the rescue mode
[08:37] <bradibus> Is there any way I can reset all the panels in the GUI to when I booted ubuntu for the first time?
[08:37] <bigbill52a> i formatted one of my partitions in ext3...i placed this sentence in fstab.../dev/sda2	/media/sda2	ext3	rw,user,auto	0	0

[08:37] <FantasticFoo> hmmm
[08:37] <ubuntu__> and what do i do nalioth ?
[08:37] <zoredache> bradibus, one way would be to remove or rename your .config directory under your home
[08:37] <bigbill52a> is there a better sentence to use?
[08:37] <ubuntu__> create the new user from there?
[08:37] <bradibus> zoredache: I'll try that thank you
[08:37] <ubuntu__> or try and change the ownership back?
[08:38] <FantasticFoo> what do i need to install to get java stuff working? or does that come with the basic dapper installation
[08:38] <mwe> ubuntu__: you changed owner of / recursively, right?
[08:38] <ubuntu__> yea
[08:38] <FeestBijtje> cherwin: how do i do this: If you are using xgl, you most probably have the file rgb.txt in /etc/X11 . Xgl in Ubuntu Dapper is usually misconfigured and looks for the file in /usr/share/X11 . Make a symlink to it in /usr/share/X11 and restart your X server.
[08:38] <mwe> ubuntu__: it's very hard to fix
[08:38] <fistandantilus> FantasticFoo: well installing java would be the first place to start
[08:38] <erUSUL> !java > FantasticFoo
[08:38] <kedarguru> hey
[08:38] <ubuntu__> is there anyway i can ssh my files over to a windows computer
[08:38] <mopflite> ubuntu__: if you have run that command, every file and directory on your system will now be owned by user "user" - I wouldn't even attempt to recover from that, I'd reinstall
[08:38] <Dors> ya everytime i uso sudo it ask me for password, but like i said i cant mount a ntfs partition, or delete it from my desktop
[08:38] <name> hey
[08:38] <FantasticFoo> erUSUL: thanks
[08:39] <name> just set up a ubuntu system for a mate
[08:39] <name> and, errm, where's the root password
[08:39] <erUSUL> !root
[08:39] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:39] <TheGateKeeper> FantasticFoo: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_J2SE_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[08:39] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: ln -s /etc/X11/rgb.txt /usr/share/X11 and then ctrl-alt-Bksp
[08:39] <Dors> when i enable it using disk manager i can  see any file or even delete it
[08:39] <ubuntu__> mopflite, i would but i have alot of files that i cant lose
[08:39] <fistandantilus> wow its been nothing but root nonsense all day today
[08:39] <nalioth> name: ubuntu doesn't use a root password.  it uses the 'sudo' model for superuser tasks
[08:39] <erUSUL> name: ubuntu does not need/use root
[08:39] <ubuntu__> is there a way i can ssh my home directory over to a windows box?
[08:39] <mopflite> erUSUL: not quite true :-)
[08:39] <legendarysock> im trying to install ubuntu on a new computer using the alternate i386 install cd and it says that it can't load something from the cd, i forgot the message. I ran an integrety test and it failed, so i guess I'm supposed to burn a new image and make sure that one passes the md5 check rite?
[08:39] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: be sure to use sudo!
[08:39] <kedarguru> I'm trying to join a windows network with samba
[08:39] <FeestBijtje> cherwin: i did that a while aggo o.0
[08:40] <FeestBijtje> cherwin: only a restart of gnome is enough?
[08:40] <zoredache> legendarysock: that sounds correct yes
[08:40] <fistandantilus> lets not get in this stupid argument, yes root is there and is need but the passwd is not set for security reasons
[08:40] <bigbill52a> you can use it if you want it..root that is...i like the freedom to use it, if i want to...
[08:40] <kedarguru> but when I try to access it from windows computer a dialog box for enter network password comes up
[08:40] <legendarysock> alrite thanks
[08:40] <kedarguru> I'm new to this stuff :-(
[08:40] <polpak> legendarysock: I had a similar issue , but it was a problem with the drive speed of the cdrom
[08:40] <cherwin> FeestBijtje: you have to restart X
[08:40] <nathanial> hello folks. I have question about SU passwords.
[08:40] <mopflite> root is essential for some (non-ubuntu) things - such as initially setting up a juniper ssl vpn client, for instance
[08:40] <FantasticFoo> how do yeh install macromedia flash with firefox support again?
[08:40] <nalioth> legendarysock: check the integrity of the iso image and burn at 4x or less
[08:40] <polpak> legendarysock: so does it always error at the same point?
[08:40] <legendarysock> i'll try my other cdrom drive
[08:40] <nathanial> It seems that my SU password is not what I thought it would be. Is there a way I can find out what it is??
[08:41] <TheGateKeeper> kedarguru: if you want to look at a windows share from ubuntu/linux, you don't need to install samba just use konqueror
[08:41] <legendarysock> idk ive only tried it once
[08:41] <erUSUL> mopflite: i've never enabled the root account nor i think i will need to
[08:41] <polpak> legendarysock: you can also set the cdrom read speed too if that's your problem. That's what I eventually had to do
[08:41] <legendarysock> damn probably shouldve tried it again just in case
[08:41] <ubuntu__> i logged out and xchat is still running
[08:41] <fistandantilus> nathanial: its your user password, and you should be using sudo not su
[08:41] <zim_> is there a command that will bring up the network config tool that you get at install
[08:41] <nathanial> ah yes
[08:41] <nathanial> firstandantilus
[08:41] <nathanial> thank you
[08:41] <zim_> ls
[08:41] <fistandantilus> np
[08:41] <kedarguru> what I meant is
[08:41] <afief> Is firefox highly unstable for you people?
[08:41] <TheGateKeeper> kedarguru: you only need to install samba if the windows pc wants to look at a ubuntu/lonux share
[08:42] <legendarysock> alrite well i'm going to go burn a new image and give that a shot, if i have the same prob i'll be back
[08:42] <kedarguru> I'm trying to share files
[08:42] <seraphi1> Hi anyone can give me a hint or little help on why my usb-keyboard first works when I switch on the Numlock on my ps/2 keyboard?
[08:42] <kedarguru> yeah
[08:42] <kedarguru> I have files that I want windows users to see
[08:42] <ardchoille> afief: My firefox has never had any problems here
[08:42] <kedarguru> so I'm using samba
[08:42] <TheGateKeeper> afief: FF works for me :-)
[08:42] <fistandantilus> i need a break heh
[08:42] <move> can someone tell me how to fix this? [17179601.848000]  [fglrx]  Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 929  MBytes.

[08:42] <afief> Ardchoille, TheGateKeeper, it crashes 3 times a day at an average
[08:43] <zim_> i think i used it a long time ago it was somthing *reconfig

[08:44] <kedarguru> :-(
[08:44] <TheGateKeeper> afief: never had that problem either on linux or windows, and in both enviromemnts Firefox is my main browser, and if everyone found it that unstable I don't think it would be as popular as it is
[08:44] <fragg> can anyone tell me why the "restart" part of this script I wrote does not work? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19941
[08:44] <scrilla-> yo
[08:44] <afief> Firefox was much less crashy under windows, why does it act like this here :S
[08:44] <scrilla-> configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
[08:44] <scrilla-> See `config.log' for more details.
[08:44] <zim_> thegatekeeper
[08:45] <scrilla-> what could be causing it?
[08:45] <zoredache> afief: Are you running any weird extentions or plugins perhaps?
[08:45] <scrilla-> cpp is installed.
[08:45] <zim_> do you know much about networking
[08:45] <scrilla-> cpp is /usr/bin/cpp
[08:45] <afief> Does anybody know where the log file that stores crash information is kept?
[08:45] <Kensey> so am I typically going to see a big difference in 128K CBR MP3s created with LAME and with BladeEnc?
[08:45] <scrilla-> afief: usually, dmesg should work for you
[08:45] <TheGateKeeper> zim_: what are you tryng to do?
[08:45] <afief> zoredache: only extensions are the language stuff that comes when i add language support, plugins i think only mplayer and flash
[08:46] <scrilla-> g++ hrm
[08:46] <scrilla-> useless, brb
[08:46] <afief> scrilla-: that tells me the errors? then it's clear fglrx is doing the problems
[08:47] <niall> whats a good all-round video file converter

[08:48] <mwe> zim_: did you add auto <interface> to the file?
[08:48] <ubunewbie> i cannot get my wireless card to associate.  i see networks but can't connect to them.  can anyone please help?
[08:49] <gorski> how to see which kernel runs on my mashine?

[08:50] <mwe> zim_: ok
[08:50] <echobinary> hello all :)
[08:50] <Kensey> fragg, what does it do?  nothing, or stops the daemon and never restarts it?
[08:51] <fragg> So no ideas?  I've just written it looking at another script from /etc/init.d but when I run it with restart, it just kills existing processes and never runs it again
[08:51] <echobinary> has anyone had issues with Azuerus completely dissapearing from X? but staying as a running process
[08:51] <m4rk> how do I hide a partition so it's doesn't appear in nautilis' "Computer"
[08:51] <erUSUL> fragg: maybe you need '/bin/sh $0 stop'
[08:51] <niall> does anyone know of a good video converter specifically one for AVI to DVD?
[08:51] <Kensey> I think $0 is the program itself, right?
[08:52] <fragg> erUSUL: didn't make any difference :(
[08:52] <DShepherd> Kensey: right
[08:52] <echobinary> anyone in here use Azureus?
[08:53] <fragg> the weird thing is that stop and start work fine if I call the script with those arguments manually, but restart doesn't even though that's all it does
[08:53] <Kensey> fragg: how about just putting the command lines in the restart section instead of doing fancy $0 tricks?
[08:53] <erUSUL> fragg: i see here in another init script a sleep call between the two calls
[08:53] <zim_> mwe http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19943
[08:53] <Kensey> also I don't think I'd use signal KILL to stop a daemon routinely
[08:54] <Kensey> use TERM
[08:54] <truzak> hello, since 2.14.3 upgrade I've been unable to change panel, menu fonts..
[08:54] <fragg> even when I just paste the lines from start and stop into the restart section it still does the same thing
[08:55] <zim_> mwe
[08:55] <zim_> did you get that
[08:55] <Kensey> try a delay between them then
[08:55] <Dors> well time to reboot :P
[08:55] <fragg> yup, I have "sleep 2" between the kill and trying to start the process
[08:56] <fragg> I can see that restart runs the kill command but it never seems to start a new one
[08:56] <m4rk> did anyone know my answer?
[08:56] <agliodbs> am I correct in that Ubuntu can't boot off of SW RAID?
[08:56] <m4rk> ubuntu
[08:56] <nalioth> agliodbs: is SW RAID anything to do with LVM ?
[08:57] <zim_> thegatekeeper mwe anybody can you tell me why http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19943 wont start at boot
[08:57] <MrBallZ> hi, I have aproblem mounting an external USB drive on my server , thru NFS on my laptop, it tells me " Permision denied " and I have mounted another nfs share on the same server but that's a normal hdd inside the server, what can this be ?
[08:57] <FloK> hi
[08:57] <agliodbs> nalioth: no
[08:57] <mjr> agliodbs, the kernel (/boot) needs to be loaded from where grub will be able to load it; namely, not raid or lvm, unless it's raid-1
[08:57] <FloK> i miss xv iin the packages
[08:57] <agliodbs> nalioth: I'm talking about nd
[08:57] <agliodbs> mjr: it is raid-1
[08:58] <m4rk> raid1 is just a mirror
[08:58] <mjr> agliodbs, booting from a mirror is okay
[08:58] <scrilla-> hrm

[08:58] <FloK> how do i get unstable sources? how are they called in sources.list ?
[08:58] <scrilla-> whats up with that?
[08:58] <erUSUL> fragg: put a few echo "something" in the script to debug it between the different calls to see what is failing
[08:58] <mwe> zim_: it's missing auto eth0

[08:58] <zim_> ty
[08:58] <sivik> ok, how do i go about getting libnjb and gtk+-2.0 installed in ubuntu?

[08:59] <scrilla-> thank you

[08:59] <scrilla-> are you sure?
[08:59] <sivik> x-window-system-core
[08:59] <sivik> sorry
[09:00] <echobinary> does anyone here have issues with the Azureus UI disappearing completely?
[09:00] <scrilla-> x-window-system-core is already the newest version.
[09:00] <scrilla-> hrm
[09:00] <sivik> what are you trying to fix?
[09:00] <scrilla-> dude, if thats the case, why the hell is this happening to me
[09:00] <agliodbs> mjr: well, I've been trying to set it up using ubuntu-server for 3 attempts now with no luck
[09:00] <fragg> erUSUL: it looks like it actually fails at the killall command, for reasons I don't understand it prints "Terminated" on the terminal after printing "RESTART", so killall is making the script crash?
[09:00] <sivik> scrilla-: what is your issue?
[09:00] <scrilla-> checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[09:00] <scrilla-> sivik: that one.
[09:01] <sivik> scrilla-: not sure
[09:01] <scrilla-> any pointers at least?
[09:01] <sivik> scrilla-: did you try searching that error in www.ubuntuforums.org?
[09:01] <fragg> camE doesn't seem to be wonderfully written, I can't call it with an argument to ask it nicely to quit so I have to kill it..
[09:01] <scrilla-> yep
[09:01] <scrilla-> brb
[09:01] <zim_> ty it works see you all later
[09:01] <mwe> scrilla-: you need the libx11-dev package I think

[09:14] <geekdom> wget will get it.
[09:15] <burhan> geekdom: that URL is invalid. Its not correct. When you type it in a browser, you will see what I mean.
[09:15] <burhan> geekdom: wget is downloading the error page from the browser, because the URL doesn't exist.
[09:15] <geekdom> burhan:  If you would use command line
[09:15] <Bob535> If music works in rythmbox, any idea why my games would not have sound, or videos embedded in webpages?
[09:15] <geekdom> paste "wget http://davidbr.com/srv/www/htdocs/joomla_cms/Menu_module/mod_exmenu_1.0.3.zip"  into the command line
[09:15] <burhan> geekdom: are you simply ignoring what I am saying, or you think I am stupid that I am just telling you things?
[09:16] <fragg> I think the more important question here is why the hell do you want sound embedded in web pages?!
[09:16] <ompaul> sorush20, edgy or dapper?
[09:16] <erUSUL> geekdom: burham is right you are dl the error page of the web server not the file
[09:16] <geekdom> I do not know how to fix that.  I just use wget.
[09:16] <burhan> geekdom: I will get the same thing you get, a html page -- BECAUSE THE LINK IS NOT VALID.
[09:16] <sorush20> ompaul: dapper
[09:16] <burhan> geekdom: do you own davidbr.com ?
[09:16] <Johncro11> anybody know anything about wpa_supplicant?
[09:16] <geekdom> Yes
[09:16] <ompaul> sorush20, it comes with 0.9.7 you are aware of that I take it?
[09:16] <geekdom> I am davidbr endlinger
[09:16] <mwe> !shout
[09:16] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[09:17] <geekdom> I am not trying to be diffacult.
[09:17] <eigenlambda> anybody here recently bought an hp notebook off their web store?
[09:17] <eigenlambda> do they come with ac adapters?
[09:17] <name> hmm, could it be that amarok is broken?
[09:17] <burhan> geekdom: are you running this on a ubuntu server?
[09:17] <name> ^^
[09:17] <gdb> geekdom: http://bitzoo.homeip.net/ is your ISP?
[09:17] <ompaul> geekdom, you are looking for something that is not there and sever sends you back 404
[09:17] <name> it just doesn't play the tracks
[09:17] <mwe> eigenlambda: I can't believe it doesn't
[09:17] <gnomefreak> eigenlambda: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[09:17] <name> xmms works
[09:18] <sorush20> ompaul: yes I am , the main problem is that I am unable to get a gui for hplip as shown here. I don't know http://hplip.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
[09:18] <burhan> eigenlambda: it would be stupid if they didn't -- but take it to -offtopic :)
[09:18] <steve_Laptop> Is there a better place to be asking server ? as I move forward with my new debian server?
[09:18] <name> 'llo
[09:18] <gdb> steve_Laptop: #debian channel on irc.ocft.net
[09:18] <burhan> steve_Laptop: #debian I would think, since this is #ubuntu
[09:18] <eigenlambda> 'k
[09:18] <gdb> irc.debian.org works
[09:18] <Johncro11> anybody familiar with wpa-supplicant?
[09:18] <steve_Laptop> hehe ok ubuntu server :)
[09:18] <TheGame> so nobody knows how to install cdwg?
[09:19] <ompaul> sorush20, that is a ubuntuisim we see the printing world through system administration printing - looking at that picture now
[09:19] <gdb> steve_Laptop: If it's an ubuntu server, then here is fine.
[09:19] <Jimmey> Hey people. I'm having trouble getting my intel 855GM onboard graphics controller to work as well as it does in Windows. It works with ET now, but at a usual FPS of about 8, where Windows usually ran at about 25. Any ideas?
[09:19] <steve_Laptop> k
[09:19] <burhan> TheGame: enable compiz repos, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install cdwg -- and ask #ubuntu-xgl from now on.
[09:19] <ompaul> sorush20, it is a huge advance on where we are now it appears
[09:19] <sethk> steve_Laptop, you can also try #debian_
[09:19] <geekdom> gdb:  yes, well it is my comuter
[09:19] <burhan> Jimmey: might want to peruse https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Video
[09:19] <Jimmey> Thanks
[09:20] <sorush20> yes it is
[09:20] <sorush20> ompaul:
[09:20] <gandalfcome> does anyone know how to use different backgrounds for each viewport in gnome (ubuntu dapper)
[09:20] <gandalfcome> ?
[09:20] <gandalfcome> please
[09:20] <burhan> geekdom: your url is http://davidbr.com/joomla_cms/Menu_module/mod_exmenu_1.0.3.zip
[09:20] <steve_Laptop> Im moving my server from Fedora to Ubuntu /web/mail/samba/print server
[09:20] <geekdom> sorry guys, my server is freaking out for some reason.  The pages are not resolving ocally.
[09:20] <owen_> anyone know of a package, that lets you have a calendar and/or a notepad for reminders on your desktop?
[09:20] <Bob535> galndalf, that would be cool
[09:20] <burhan> gandalfcome: not possible currently, without third-party "hacks"
[09:21] <Bob535> boo
[09:21] <Bob535> :(
[09:21] <burhan> geekdom: your not giving the right url, your correct url is what I posted earlier.
[09:21] <geekdom> burhan:  You are correct.   I just could not get in fixed.
[09:21] <uwo> hi all - what is the alt+F2 launcher command in Ubuntu? (one terminal command)
[09:21] <burhan> owen_: sudo apt-get install gdesklets
[09:21] <mwe> gandalfcome: it works in KDE though
[09:22] <burhan> uwo: the what?
[09:22] <gnomefreak> owen_: your gonna need gdesklets-data
[09:23] <geekdom> burhan:  How did you figure that out ?  What I used worked from this side?  I am confused.   I do some strange things to get this to do what is should and it has 3 addresses !
[09:23] <gnomefreak> burhan: nope :(
[09:23] <uwo> burhan - in KDE when i press alt+F2 it gives me the option to run a terminal command (good for running one single command without launching terminal)
[09:23] <burhan> gnomefreak: would make sense if it did lol
[09:23] <gnomefreak> burhan: i know
[09:23] <burhan> uwo: you can do the same in gnome
[09:23] <Shinzetsu> burhan: what are you trying to do?
[09:23] <steve_Laptop> is anyone using asterisk on ubuntu? fedora is just to unstable for me :) so we are slowly moving everything
[09:23] <owen_> it does install gdesklets-data
[09:24] <gnomefreak> it doesnt here :( unless updated
[09:24] <ompaul> sorush20, msg me
[09:24] <burhan> geekdom: experience :) when you type your domain name, its already pointing at your docroot (the directory where all your html files are stored) you just need to give it the path from there onwards.
[09:24] <burhan> Shinzetsu: help people :)
[09:24] <owen_> no worries, but part of me wished it wouldnt, i love typing stuff into the terminal :D
[09:24] <Shinzetsu> burhan: ah I thought you needed help, sorry
[09:24] <TheGame> any1 know how to reboot gnome into terminal
[09:24] <burhan> Shinzetsu: no problem.
[09:25] <gandalfcome> @burhan and others: thanks but I don't want to use kde because im using compiz and it works very well with gnome. you mentioned 3rd party hacks? where can I find them>
[09:25] <geekdom> burhan:  Grin
[09:25] <gandalfcome> ?
[09:25] <burhan> TheGame: just hit ctrl+alt+f1
[09:25] <geekdom> burhan:  thanks
[09:25] <mwe> owen_: yeah. it makes you feel like a 1337 HaX0R
[09:25] <burhan> gandalfcome: google -- that's where I found out about it.
[09:25] <esperegu> I am trying to upgrade to 6.06 with the update manager. but I keep getting an error that a zip subprocess is failing on Sources.gz . any suggestions?
[09:25] <burhan> gandalfcome: by the way, I think compiz works regardless of wm?
[09:26] <gnomefreak> esperegu: reload it
[09:26] <mopflite> is compiz worth the effort involved in getting it working?
[09:26] <owen_> i hate doing stuff with the mouse.. why even move the mouse, when you can just tell your computer what to do
[09:26] <gnomefreak> mopflite: not really (imho)
[09:26] <mwe> mopflite: it's not mature enough for me
[09:26] <gandalfcome> I heard it works better with gnome
[09:26] <gandalfcome> i dont know
[09:26] <abhinay> i have a problem with one of my desklet (gdesklets), i added tasklist desklet, and iam not able to move or remove it (tasklist) by right clicking on it ?  Here is a screenshot http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9933/checkitoutxn1.png  Any suggestions ?
[09:26] <burhan> mopflite: impress your friends, make your enemies jealous ..... and /maybe/ improve productivity. I just like it for eye candy, but I don't think its much more beyond that.
[09:27] <burhan> mopflite: I don't run it on my laptop, but on my desktop with dual screens, its a real show stopper.
[09:27] <mopflite> I love gnome - which is odd, as from 2002 until three weeks ago I was a blackbox user
[09:27] <Shinzetsu> Question: If I had a TV Tuner (antenna-in) would I be able to use MythTV to watch TV?
[09:27] <esperegu> gnomefreak: what should I reload?
[09:27] <secleinteer> does any1 know how i can change the interface language?
[09:27] <twotwenty> is it recommended to change sshd port?
[09:27] <gnomefreak> esperegu: synaptic
[09:27] <burhan> Shinzetsu: depends how well your card is supported.
[09:27] <mwe> mopflite: see what the trend does to your soul
[09:27] <mopflite> the latest gnome isn't that different to blackbox in certain ways
[09:27] <Subhuman> abhinay, close all the apps, so your jus left with a lil white square, and right click that.
[09:27] <mopflite> I can't get on with the bloat of kde
[09:28] <Shinzetsu> burhan: Thing is im urging to buy a TV card for years now
[09:28] <erUSUL> secleinteer: System>Admin>language support??
[09:28] <burhan> twotwenty: yes.
[09:28] <abhinay> Subhuman, no , right click is not working ...
[09:28] <secleinteer> erUSUL: that lets me add/remove languages only
[09:28] <burhan> Shinzetsu: its great when it works :) You can google around and find out which ones are supported.
[09:28] <mopflite> twotwenty: what would the benefit be of changing sshd port?
[09:28] <Shinzetsu> burhan: ok ^^
[09:28] <Shinzetsu> also,
[09:28] <gnomefreak> !hardware
[09:28] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:28] <Shinzetsu> are there adapters to split an antenna in two?
[09:28] <mwe> mopflite: not using all the krap makes KDE better
[09:28] <burhan> abhinay: restart the gdesklets daemon (there is an icon on the notification area)
[09:28] <Shinzetsu> like you got one antenna but you split it in 2 so you can use it in your real TV and a TV Tuner
[09:29] <burhan> Shinzetsu: two identical feeds, or two separate feeds? Same channel in both places, or different?
[09:29] <abhinay> burhan, if i restart it , it'll come again ...
[09:29] <burhan> abhinay: it shouldn't.
[09:29] <Shinzetsu> Identical
[09:29] <herbal> can someone help me with resolution? im in 1440x900 which is native to my monitor but the panels in gnome are streched past the screen
[09:29] <Shinzetsu> like 1 in / 2 out
[09:29] <burhan> Shinzetsu: ah those are easy to come by. You can pick one up at your local electronics store.
[09:29] <mwe> herbal: paste your xorg.conf to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:30] <Shinzetsu> burhan: cool thanks
[09:30] <mopflite> herbal: you may need to adjust your monitor's settings?
[09:30] <burhan> !fixres
[09:30] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:30] <cowmilk> i'm going to be installing a CD-RW drive and a DVD drive into my box. Aside from checking out the jumper setting for Master or Slave, is there anything else I have to do to install?
[09:30] <esperegu> gnomefreak: I am using the upgrade manager. synaptic seems to be up to date.
[09:30] <cowmilk> Do I have to some setting up in Ubuntu? Or will they automatically work?
[09:30] <mwe> herbal: it sounds like the viewport is bigger than the physical size
[09:30] <secleinteer> does any1 know how to change the interface language (system -> admin -> language support doent work)?
[09:30] <burhan> cowmilk: make sure you ground yourself, and while you have your case opened, clean all that dust out of there. Make sure the drives are screwed in snugly, otherwise they will cause vibrations that might cause reading errors.
[09:30] <gnomefreak> esperegu: close it and use terminal so we can see the error output in terminal type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:31] <sethk> cowmilk, if you have an eide cable, you must use cable select, NOT master or slave
[09:31] <sethk> cowmilk, an eide cable has one blue connector, one grey, and one black
[09:31] <cowmilk> burhan: thanks for all your good advice.
[09:31] <Shinzetsu> MythTV looks like the Media Center software they ship with WinXP MCE
[09:31] <sethk> cowmilk, other than that an IDE CD-RW drive should "just work"
[09:31] <burhan> Shinzetsu: its the same concept, yes.
[09:32] <Tsukino> What reasons would cause a tar.gz to fail in extracting? I've already made sure the md5 matches, so the file isn't corrupt, and I'm extracting to a directory where I have full write privileges too
[09:32] <geekdom> burhan:  Is the patient going to live ?
[09:32] <mwe> Tsukasa: typos or bad files usually
[09:32] <burhan> which one?
[09:32] <neutrinomass> Tsukino: Pastebin the error please ...
[09:32] <esperegu> gnomefreak: shouldn't I first change the sources.list first then?
[09:32] <mwe> Tsukasa: how you extracting it?
[09:32] <gnomefreak> esperegu: no
[09:32] <esperegu> gnomefreak: as specified here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades
[09:32] <burhan> Shinzetsu: but there are some cool things with mythv, like that php app that lets you control it via a browser :D
[09:32] <KenSentMe> Tsukino: maybe you run out of disk space?
[09:32] <Tsukino> There's a good number of errors, but here are a few
[09:32] <GBK> anyone here that can help me with my usb stick that's not detected anymore?
[09:32] <sethk> Tsukasa, are you using tar xvzf   to extract?
[09:32] <gnomefreak> esperegu: your not upgrading distros are you?
[09:33] <Tsukino> tar: vmware-server-distrib/installer/services.sh: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
[09:33] <Tsukino> tar: vmware-server-distrib/installer: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
[09:33] <Tsukino> tar: vmware-server-distrib/vmware-install.pl: Cannot create symlink to `bin/vmware-uninstall.pl': Operation not permitted
[09:33] <Tsukino> tar: vmware-server-distrib/FILES: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
[09:33] <Tsukino> tar: vmware-server-distrib: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
[09:33] <Tsukino> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[09:33] <sethk> Tsukasa, or xzf?
[09:33] <burhan> whoa whoa
[09:33] <cowmilk> sethk: um, i'm not sure if my box uses eid cable. the cable is a flat, grey thing
[09:33] <mwe> Tsukasa: don't paste here!
[09:33] <sethk> Tsukasa, untar with sudo
[09:33] <sivik> pastebin
[09:33] <geekdom> GBK:   I have the same problem.  Tell her that you are rich :)
[09:33] <gnomefreak> Tsukino: use pastebin
[09:33] <esperegu> gnomefreak: I want to go from breezer to dapper
[09:33] <sethk> cowmilk, you look at the connectors, not the cable, to tell
[09:33] <cowmilk> seth, the connectors don't have colors.
[09:33] <KenSentMe> !paste > Tsukino
[09:33] <sethk> cowmilk, either all three are the same color, usually black, or you have one blue, one black, and one grey.
[09:33] <cowmilk> they're just pins
[09:33] <burhan> !upgrade > esperegu
[09:33] <Tsukino> oops, sorry
[09:33] <gnomefreak> esperegu: than yes change the word breezy to dapper in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:33] <sethk> cowmilk, ok, then you use master/slave
[09:33] <KenSentMe> !root > Tsukino
[09:33] <sivik> esperegu: upgrade all the places in the sources.list from breezy to dapper and type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:34] <Tsukino> I've tried it a number of ways already
[09:34] <gnomefreak> sivik: psssst update first
[09:34] <cowmilk> sethk: thanks so much.
[09:34] <sivik> gnomefreak: yeah
[09:34] <smacnay_> Hello, I have a debian system with lots of partitions for /usr, /var, /home, etc... - would a ubuntu install work over this without affecting my /home partition?
[09:34] <secleinteer> does any1 know how to change the interface language (system -> admin -> language support doent work)?
[09:34] <cowmilk> ok. i've gotta power off now.
[09:34] <cowmilk> see you guys!
[09:34] <GBK> ja ja.
[09:34] <KenSentMe> Tsukino: have you tried it with sudo?
[09:34] <Tsukino> I've gone as root, through sudo, as myself, and they give me the same errors
[09:34] <burhan> !easysource is another way you can do that esperegu
[09:34] <geekdom> GBK:   usually that means you pulled out your usb stick without unmounting it first.   Learned the hard way
[09:34] <mwe> Tsukasa: normal users are not allowed to tamper with the system in linux. A stupid idea to let users do that anyway if you ask me.
[09:34] <sivik> smacnay_: yes, you can tell the installer to not format that partition
[09:35] <geekdom> GBK:   later linuxes ( suse 10.1 ) handle the hostal removal much better
[09:35] <Newbi1> Gaim getting crash, while i connect to msn.
[09:35] <sethk> smacnay_, if you use the same /, /home will be clobbered.  You can rename /home before the install.
[09:35] <GBK> not the case. I booted up and plugged it in
[09:35] <sivik> Newbi1: try kopete
[09:35] <sethk> smacnay_, I would also preserve /etc and /root
[09:35] <burhan> smacnay_: it should, if you setup the drive mapping properly -- although, make sure you mark everything for formatting except your /home
[09:35] <smacnay_> sivik: thanks - I might try an install over this working Deb system or just get another hd and put ubuntu on that and dual boot.
[09:35] <RedMonkey> try irssi
[09:35] <secleinteer> does any1 know how to change the interface language (system -> admin -> language support doent work)?
[09:35] <sethk> Newbi1, latest version of gaim?
[09:35] <burhan> smacnay_: and for sanity, don't create a new user with the same username as the one in debain
[09:35] <Newbi1> sivik, im downloading, but i must solve the gaim problem.
[09:35] <burhan> !doesn't work
[09:35] <ravenous> moo
[09:35] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[09:36] <echobinary> it doesnt work
[09:36] <herbal> does anyone know how i can fix this resolution problem, gnome panels are streched past the screen
[09:36] <Newbi1> sethk, i dont know about the latest version of Gaim, i just install Ubuntu and update all
[09:36] <echobinary> ..  my Ex doesnt work
[09:36] <sivik> Newbi1: kopete is better anyways
[09:36] <sethk> my it doesn't either
[09:36] <scrilla-> quick question
[09:36] <sivik> scrilla-: yes
[09:36] <scrilla-> how do i completely clean my ubuntu box and only leave nothing but the base system on it?
[09:36] <scrilla-> so i can, like, start from scratch
[09:36] <GBK> geekdom:
[09:36] <ravenous> reinstall
[09:36] <scrilla-> without reinstalling
[09:36] <mwe> scrilla-: why would you do that?
[09:36] <sethk> Newbi1, There might be a recent bug fix to gaim.  After the install, see if your gaim is the most recent one available in the repositories.
[09:36] <ravenous> you dont
[09:36] <burhan> format, then reinstall :)
[09:37] <sivik> scrilla-: not sure how to do that withou a reeinstall
[09:37] <scrilla-> word
[09:37] <scrilla-> brb
[09:37] <sethk> Newbi1, if not, you can try installing from source (if you don't mind installing from source)
[09:37] <scrilla-> aptitude purge just about everythin
[09:37] <geekdom> gbk:  Yes.  I do not have a clue.  did it used to work ?  Waht is your distro ?
[09:37] <Newbi1> sethk, Ok i will try it later.
[09:37] <geekdom> gbk: are you gui or command line ?
[09:37] <geekdom> gbk: I assume that it did show up in "mount "
[09:38] <herbal> hmm so nobody knows how to fix the resolution problem? ill paste xorg in pastebin
[09:38] <Newbi1> and What Media Player i should download to play all movies, avi , mpeg etc.
[09:38] <burhan> vlc
[09:38] <sivik> Newbi1: VLC
[09:38] <GBK> geekdom: kubuntu dapper, no its not in mount, and i'm using gui, if possible
[09:38] <secleinteer> does any1 know how to change the interface language (system -> admin -> language support doent work)?
[09:38] <thejusticecow> does anyone here encode mp3s?
[09:38] <sivik> GBK: did you try /media?
[09:38] <ravenous> thejusticecow: yes
[09:38] <mwe> what's the ubuntu approach to automounting floppies, autofs?
[09:38] <Newbi1> Ok Thanks, VLC can be found on Synaptics?
[09:38] <burhan> secleinteer: man, 1. stop repeating 2. and tell us what you mean  by 'doesn't work'
[09:38] <geekdom> gbk:  did it ever work ?  Try the usb on the other side of the machine
[09:39] <sivik> Newbi1: yes
[09:39] <secleinteer> it doesn't change the interface language
[09:39] <sivik> GBK: check under /media
[09:39] <crimsun> mwe: Linux 2.6.15+udev+hal+gnome-volume-manager.
[09:39] <geekdom> gbk:  front side often is not wired in :)
[09:39] <secleinteer> it just lets you add languages
[09:39] <Tsukino> well, just ran it under root power. I got less errors, but I still got errors
[09:39] <burhan> mwe: udev
[09:39] <GBK> geekdom: yes, not there. command lsusb shows it
[09:39] <sivik> GBK: check /media
[09:39] <mwe> thanks
[09:39] <crimsun> mwe: (sorry, I omitted a `pmount')
[09:39] <secleinteer> there is no place under preferences to change the language for just one account
[09:39] <Newbi1> OK!
[09:39] <thejusticecow> ravenous, where did you get your mp3 encoder?
[09:40] <GBK> geekdom: only back planes, plugged into usual slot
[09:40] <Tsukino> I just pastebin'd it
[09:40] <cs_DK_DK> hi
[09:40] <ravenous> thejusticecow: i use the one that comes with ubuntu, sound juicer
[09:40] <sivik> trying to get gnomad2-2.6.8 installed
[09:40] <mwe> crimsun: well thank you
[09:40] <geekdom> gbk:  sounds like it does not know how to mount what you have formatted on the usb.    is this a factory stick ( fat )
[09:40] <cs_DK_DK> Using dapper here: cannot login to gnome
[09:40] <thejusticecow> ravenous, but it does not come with mp3 encoding
[09:40] <cs_DK_DK> when I remove .gnome2 I can
[09:40] <cs_DK_DK> who's to blame?
[09:40] <Tenebrys> Hey... I know it's a little bit rude to barge in with questions, but I'm a tad ticked right now.
[09:40] <cs_DK_DK> Ubuntu or Gnome?
[09:41] <secleinteer> jesus it's so unhelpful here...prolly have better luck on the forums
[09:41] <Dodzey> Tenebrys, whats up?
[09:41] <GBK> geekdom: fat32. I copied files to it earlier from winXP
[09:41] <geekdom> gbk:  does the stick work anywhere else ?   You did nto get it around microsft betaware ?
[09:41] <trappist> Tenebrys: barging in with questions is the preferred way to get help here.  not rude at all.
[09:41] <sivik> can't find libnjb and gtk
[09:41] <cs_DK_DK> Using dapper here: cannot login to gnome
[09:41] <cs_DK_DK> Ubuntu or Gnome?
[09:41] <cs_DK_DK> when I remove .gnome2 I can
[09:41] <cs_DK_DK> who's to blame?
[09:41] <cs_DK_DK> Ubuntu or Gnome?
[09:41] <burhan> cs_DK_DK: you are to blame, I would think.
[09:41] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: don't repeat
[09:41] <sivik> gnome
[09:41] <cs_DK_DK> sorry
[09:41] <ravenous> thejusticecow: thejusticecow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping , gives you the list of libs to install to enable mp3 support in soundjuicer
[09:41] <Tenebrys> Is it common for the newest (6.06) ISO to pretty much go bad right from the get-go, when trying to boot it?  Both "check for errors" and "Start or install Ubuntu" give me CD read errors.
[09:41] <geekdom> gbk:  Have a new stick somewhere ?
[09:41] <sivik> cs_DK_DK: gnome
[09:41] <sethk> secleinteer, I don't believe there are per account settings.  You can change the environment variables associated with language, but I'm not sure the result will be good.
[09:41] <cs_DK_DK> I get really tired of that
[09:42] <burhan> cs_DK_DK: did you do anything like setting a root password or logging in as root?
[09:42] <thejusticecow> ravenous, k
[09:42] <cs_DK_DK> nope
[09:42] <GBK> geekdom: will try a new stick with DSL on it
[09:42] <sivik> cs_DK_DK: i just don't use gnome
[09:42] <geekdom> gbk:  how big is the stick ?
[09:42] <trappist> Tenebrys: it's not that unusual, unfortunately.  try burning at a slower speed.
[09:42] <cs_DK_DK> I removed .gnome2 from my home dir
[09:42] <cs_DK_DK> and it works
[09:42] <trappist> Tenebrys: you might also want to md5sum your iso, to be sure it's not bad
[09:42] <sivik> its a gnome issue
[09:42] <cs_DK_DK> but I think it stinks
[09:42] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: did it happen again?
[09:42] <geekdom> gbk: dsl ?
[09:42] <sethk> cs_DK_DK, so something in .gnome2 is corrupted
[09:42] <Tenebrys> I'll check md5sums and such right now...
[09:42] <cs_DK_DK> it happens from time to time
[09:42] <burhan> cs_DK_DK: what is in ~/.xsession-errors ?
[09:42] <cs_DK_DK> sethk: yes
[09:43] <secleinteer> well ,then i gues i'll look for another solution
[09:43] <cs_DK_DK> cs_DK_DK: xsession-errors looks fine
[09:43] <sethk> cs_DK_DK, do you know specifically what, yet?
[09:43] <KenSentMe> secleinteer: have you tried rebooting or restarting x after you changed the default language and hit Apply?
[09:43] <cs_DK_DK> sethk: not yet sorry
[09:43] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: that's one of the reasons I don't use gnome. that has always happened for me from time to time for several years. gnome seems to dislike me
[09:43] <GBK> geekdom: Damn Small Linux. new stick also not detected
[09:43] <trappist> Tenebrys: also you can md5sum the cd without booting to it, so you know ahead of time - just md5sum /dev/hdc (if that's where the cd is)
[09:43] <sethk> secleinteer, I would.  changing the language for all users is practical, but I don't think it's practical to use multiple languages.
[09:43] <cs_DK_DK> mwe: i am starting to dislike gnome also
[09:43] <geekdom> gbk: different box ?
[09:43] <secleinteer> sethk: there is no place to change the interface language
[09:43] <acojlo> where to seek help for S3 resume when acpi-linux ml is deaf, when ubuntuforum is deaf?
[09:44] <sethk> cs_DK_DK, besides checking error logs, you can cut out pieces of .gnome2 until it stops breaking.  I use kde
[09:44] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: like if gnome crashed it wouldn't start normally again after that
[09:44] <secleinteer> all there is is a place to change the login screen language
[09:44] <esperegu2> gnomefreak & others: http://pastebin.ca/121146
[09:44] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: unless I deleted the profile or some file in it
[09:44] <sethk> secleinteer, the entire box can operate in another language.
[09:44] <RedMonkey> I've tried a lot of Linux distributions, and I must say that Ubuntu is one of (if not THE) best of them all!
[09:44] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: I forgot the name of the file to delete though
[09:44] <secleinteer> well i'm trying to find where i can change that
[09:44] <cs_DK_DK> mwe: weird, gnome is indeed unstable
[09:44] <geekdom> gbk:  different computer, different hardware ?
[09:44] <GBK> geekdom: nothing. new stick also not starting
[09:44] <burhan> !locale
[09:44] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LocaleConf
[09:44] <sethk> secleinteer, by default I believe internationalization is not installed.
[09:44] <burhan> secleinteer: try that ^
[09:44] <cs_DK_DK> sethk: I will do that
[09:44] <herbal> can someone please help me with my resolution im gonna cry lol
[09:44] <sethk> secleinteer, so start there.
[09:44] <Tsukino> Does anyone know why the archive would be giving me those kinds of errors when I'm trying to unpack it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19950
[09:44] <acojlo> is there something like .doc file viewer?
[09:45] <secleinteer> i've added languages
[09:45] <trappist> burhan: if you've used something the size and scope of gnome for 4+ years and haven't found a problem, you're not looking very hard
[09:45] <Tenebrys> Checking at thTrying to deal with this... just a minute.
[09:45] <sethk> secleinteer, check that url also, obviously.
[09:45] <GBK> geekdom: works with my WinXP laptop
[09:45] <trappist> acojlo: openoffice.org can open word docs
[09:45] <cs_DK_DK> however I think that gnome QA is really bad
[09:45] <secleinteer> ok
[09:45] <GBK> gekdom:
[09:45] <thejusticecow> ravenous, there is something wrong with the ugly pkg it isnt working i allready read that....
[09:45] <burhan> trappist: I'm not saying I haven't run into problems (sound issues, and other miscellany) just not one like the one described
[09:45] <cs_DK_DK> maybe XFCE is better
[09:45] <gnomefreak> esperegu2: open your sources.list file and put a # infront of the repos that say cdrom in it
[09:46] <sethk> secleinteer, sorry I don't have more details; I haven't dealt with the issue for quite a while.  It definitely is possible.
[09:46] <geekdom> gbk: you should be able to do a mount /dev/usb .......     You know, what ever is on your system.
[09:46] <acojlo> and why ubuntu have at 20 places set 'eng-au' as default instead of eng-us'?
[09:46] <burhan> cs_DK_DK: have you already tried asking in ##gnome ?
[09:46] <esperegu2> yeah.. see it... cool thx
[09:46] <ravenous> thejusticecow: have you enabled the universe and multiverse repositories?
[09:46] <cs_DK_DK> burhan: I can try to do that, Is it also on freenode?
[09:46] <thejusticecow> ravenous, yup
[09:46] <burhan> yeah
[09:46] <secleinteer> ok
[09:46] <cs_DK_DK> thanks
[09:46] <thejusticecow> ravenous, there is something wrong with the pkg
[09:46] <esperegu2> gnomefreak: is it best to use terminal or gui (update manager)
[09:46] <secleinteer> thx anyway
[09:46] <sethk> cs_DK_DK, I still have gnome on two ubuntu boxes and I've not seen a problem with it.
[09:46] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: I never figured why it kept happening to me. I didn't do anything to cause it as far as I can tell
[09:47] <ravenous> thejusticecow: try a mirror, some ppl are having trouble with some, thats what you need for soundjuicer mp3 support anyway
[09:47] <gnomefreak> esperegu2: i think terminal is faster
[09:47] <Tenebrys> Well, if anything, I don't like how k3b's write speed kinda got out of control at the end... nor how this thing seems to not want to stay mounted.
[09:47] <Tenebrys> Yeah... I'm going to just pitch this CD and try again.
[09:47] <thejusticecow> ravenous, i can download a package from somewhere else? how would i install it?
[09:47] <thejusticecow> ravenous, or are you saying to find it and compile it?
[09:47] <ravenous> thejusticecow: im talking about using a repo mirror
[09:48] <A[D] minS> i am in Authentication in Postfix configuration
[09:48] <thejusticecow> ravenous, where can i find one?
[09:48] <A[D] minS> dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add root sasl 755 /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
[09:48] <A[D] minS> An override for "/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd" already exists, but --force specified so lets ignore it.
[09:48] <GBK> geekdom: nope nothing there
[09:48] <ravenous> thejusticecow: they're listed on ubuntu.com i believe, couldnt say for sure, i havent had any problems with the default ones so ive never had to use one
[09:49] <cs_DK_DK> sethk: that doesn't explain why it doesn't work here
[09:49] <A[D] minS> any idea what i have to do ?
[09:49] <thejusticecow> ravenous, thanks
[09:49] <davin> is there some kind of System Restore/Backup program? I want to try and install ScummVM, but last time when I try to compile it I screwed up the sound and I had to reformat
[09:49] <sethk> cs_DK_DK, indeed, it does not.  I meant, though, that you shouldn't give up on gnome.
[09:49] <geekdom> gbk:
[09:49] <hui___> umm
[09:49] <cs_DK_DK> sethk: ok, maybe I am just being unlucky
[09:49] <GBK> geekdom: i think my system might be buggered since i reinstalled udev or something that drives my usb
[09:50] <sethk> cs_DK_DK, Possibly just you are doing something atypical.
[09:50] <mwe> sethk: for some reason I have experienced what cs_DK_DK is several times over the years too.
[09:50] <hui___> I've forgotten a software pacakge, it has a nice setup like frontpage witht he remote access, which package was it?
[09:50] <cs_DK_DK> sethk: sometimes computers are just frustrating
[09:50] <geekdom> gbk: I hate to say it but you are at the limit of my little mind.  I really thing it is a mount command.
[09:50] <hui___> quanta, bluefish, I can't remember
[09:50] <hui___> oh wait, I think it is nvu :)
[09:50] <burhan> hui___: screem, bluefish, quanta, nvu?
[09:50] <Madjar> Salut tout le monde
[09:50] <sethk> cs_DK_DK, I would start by listing the contents of .gnome2 in modification date order, to see what changed most recently.  I have to go for a bit.  I'll tell you how to do that when I return (if you don't already know)
[09:50] <Madjar> arf, forgotten the -fr ...
[09:50] <geekdom> gbk:  that would have a tendancy to do that.
[09:50] <cs_DK_DK> sethk: ok
[09:50] <hui___> burhan: yeah, I think its nvu :)
[09:50] <singamayya> nvu rox!
[09:51] <hui___> it does, I remember its pretty cool for a quick editor
[09:51] <A[D] minS> !postfix
[09:51] <ubotu> postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Postfix or here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[09:51] <burhan> its based on mozilla composer code
[09:51] <GBK> geekdom: thanx for trying, I will try and bug the group again!
[09:51] <Shinzetsu>  is there some kind of System Restore/Backup program? I want to try and install ScummVM, but last time when I try to compile it I screwed up the sound and I had to reformat
[09:52] <geekdom> gbk:  Could you take a stab at my unzip thingy ?
[09:52] <mwe> cs_DK_DK: ls -t will sort the output by modification time
[09:52] <geekdom> gbk:   http://davidbr.com/joomla_cms/jom_bok_table_paidfor/0f1ddf-com_jombok-v1.2.zip
[09:52] <GBK> geekdom: what unzip thingy?
[09:52] <burhan> GBK: he wants you to take a 'stab' at 'unzipping' his 'thingy'.
[09:53] <geekdom> gbk: it shows as html.  I can not get it unzipped from the command line.   The gui does it find but will not tell me what it did.   It goes on a non gui server
[09:53] <OneSeventeen> I am no longer able to lock my workstation using the "Lock Screen" on the Quit menu, nor am I able to use the "Lock Screen" Gnome Pannel Applet
[09:53] <recon0> Is there any kind of *stand alone* flash player for linux instead of viewing it in firefox?
[09:53] <OneSeventeen> what is the command for Lock Screen, so I can view error messages?
[09:53] <GBK> geekdom: you lost me completely
[09:53] <burhan> OneSeventeen: hit the 'pause' button on your keyboard
[09:53] <Sir_Fawnpug> I'm having problems with Eterm 0.9.2 hanging for seemingly no reason. Does anybody else notice this behavior?
[09:54] <OneSeventeen> burhan: that did nothing
[09:54] <OneSeventeen> Using lock screen worked earlier last week
[09:54] <cs_DK_DK> mwe: ok, thanks
[09:54] <Oni-Dracula> recon0, I second that request
[09:54] <geekdom> gbk:  Just unzip this file from the command line:  http://davidbr.com/joomla_cms/Menu_module/mod_exmenu_1.0.3.zip
[09:54] <Oni> Im a complete newbie at this, can someone help me with a couple of things that I want to do so I can finally kill XP? ^^
[09:54] <kcbanner> is there a program that will show me how disk space is distributed on a drive?
[09:54] <kcbanner> I need to find my biggest files
[09:54] <A[D] minS> telnet localhost 25  -->output is Connection closed by foreign host.
[09:54] <Sir_Fawnpug> Oni, what is it you want to do?
[09:54] <Oni> first
[09:55] <GBK> burhan: how do YOU know its a thingy?!!!
[09:55] <burhan> GBK: don't ask
[09:55] <Oni> i need to upload gba roms to a flash 2 advance card
[09:55] <recon0> Oni-Dracula- amen!
[09:55] <Tsukino> I followed the guide on http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server exactly, but those errors just hit me while I'm trying to decompile the tar
[09:55] <acojlo> does anyone want to pay him to set me up s3 resume?
[09:55] <harisund> kcbanner you could use du
[09:55] <MrErnst> what username/pswrd do i ad to samba, so that my windows system won't ask me to log in?
[09:55] <kcbanner> harisund, du?
[09:55] <vicscandl> kcbanner: man du
[09:55] <kcbanner> vicscandl, righto
[09:55] <Oni-Dracula> recon0, I'll do some searching, see if I can find us somethin
[09:55] <GBK> geekdom: what's it suppose to do and how do i open things from command line
[09:56] <harisund> kcbanner, chck out du. It stands for disk usage. You can do all sort of nifty things with it.
[09:56] <burhan> geekdom: it works here, you are just not giving the right domain name. You need to use http://davidbr.com/joomla_cms/jom_bok_table_paidfor/0f1ddf-com_jombok-v1.2.zip
[09:56] <recon0> Oni-Dracula: no need. just found http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ .
[09:56] <Oni-Dracula> r0x0rz
[09:56] <vicscandl> kcbanner: i'm particular to `du -h --max=1`
[09:56] <burhan> geekdom: whoops, I mean
[09:56] <cs_DK_DK> mwe: the keyrings directory is the sinner I think
[09:56] <geekdom> burhan:  You mean you can unzip it ?
[09:56] <geekdom> burhan: and use the files ?
[09:56] <burhan> geekdom: http://bitzoo.homeip.net/joomla_cms/jom_bok_table_paidfor/0f1ddf-com_jombok-v1.2.zip
[09:56] <burhan> geekdom: sure
[09:57] <geekdom> burhan:  what is the "exact" command you used to unzip it ?
[09:57] <recon0> Oni-Dracula: I'm gonna try using it.  Does anybody else notice this behavior?
[09:58] <schitzo> yo
[09:58] <Shinzetsu> thanks for pointing that out
[09:58] <burhan> geekdom: you need to use bitzoo.homeip.net, not davidbr.com
[09:59] <geekdom> burhan:  I will try that.  I have the file so resolution for me does not make any difference.   I just need to unzip it.   It comes from this comptuer so I have it !
[09:59] <harisund> vicscandl what does --max=1 do in a du output?
[09:59] <schitzo> that's a secret
[09:59] <Tenebrys> ...umm.
[09:59] <Shinzetsu> is there some kind of System Restore/Backup program? I want to try and install ScummVM, but last time when I try to compile it I screwed up the sound and I had to reformat

[10:00] <burhan> Shinzetsu: you can use dd to backup your disk. There is a backup program, I forget its name right now :(
[10:00] <harisund> vicscandl ah .. ok ..

[10:01] <Warbo> Copter: We said, ask away :)
[10:01] <harisund> kcbanner did you figure out a way to find out which file occupies the max size? I am still thinking ..
[10:01] <OneSeventeen> burhan, apparently the command is gnome-screensaver-command --lock, and typing that in showed that gnome-screensaver wasn't running..
[10:01] <d-s-d> got it...
[10:02] <OneSeventeen> weird, now that I typed in gnome-screensaver manually all the links to locking the screen now work... problem solved!
[10:02] <kcbanner> harisund, dunno, but du -h max=1 gives a general idea
[10:02] <kcbanner> I narrowed it down
[10:02] <geekdom> ubotu:  what is flooding the channel ?
[10:02] <Copter> Okay -- I am trying to install phpmyadmin by doing apt-get phpmyadmin, but it isnt working, any suggestions?
[10:02] <gopss> you tell me
[10:02] <YesDad> investigating
[10:02] <burhan> OneSeventeen: I thought you mean you wanted to pause the screen so that you could read stuff on it, not lock the screen :) anyway, glad you got it sorted.
[10:02] <bbrazil> Copter: apt-get install

[10:02] <harisund> kcbanner you want to find the max sized file within a directory?
[10:02] <Warbo> Copter: Or use a GUI like System>Admin>Synaptic
[10:02] <burhan> geekdom: is 7 > 3 ?
[10:02] <Copter> E: Couldn't find package phpmyadmin
[10:02] <Oni> does anybody know how can I upload some GBA roms to a Flash2Advance Ultra Card using the standard USB Linker?
[10:02] <harisund> kcbanner I mean, within a single directory and not recursively going inside each one?
[10:03] <OneSeventeen> burhan thanks for replying though!  What is pause supposed to do anyway?
