[17:10] <cheetiong> in my network, i already have a master DNS server, but i cannot change any thing on this server, now i want to setup my own DNS server, but i need all ip resolve on that primary server, then my own dns server i can manage to update my host & ip, so i should setup my dns server as slave name server or caching-only name server?
[17:11] <tummyacid> hey guys, quick question about the XawTV package.  I am using webcam to upload pictures to a server and I need to use SSH.  Anyone know how to specify a port number in .webcamrc ?
[17:11] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, i know what was wrong with the command i gave you earlier
[17:11] <ScottG> I'm on a laptop, how do I switch to an external display?
[17:11] <Seveas> cheetiong, it's not entirely clear what you want but it looks like you want a forwarding nameserver with maybe some extra zones
[17:11] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, What was? :)
[17:11] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: i used 'touch' which creates an actual file. you have symlinks in there, so....
[17:12] <neurologic> Okay so I was just talking to somebody...apparently my sudoers is broken, he told me I need to erase the password, or lack there of, for root, in /etc/shadow Can someone tell me how to do this? I'm looking at the shadow file, but I don't know what to erase
[17:12] <hspaans> asterslash: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity/global_keybindings && gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity/windows_keybindings && gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity/keybindings_command
[17:12] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: the command would need to be...  find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type s | xargs rm -v
[17:12] <hspaans> asterslash: that should do the trick
[17:13]  * Seveas afk, back in 20 min
[17:13] <ldiamond> I need the package gnome-cups-manager, but it says its only available from another source... How do I install that^
[17:13] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Still get rm mistake :S
[17:13] <asterslash> hspaans, unfortunately no
[17:13] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, i dunno then
[17:13] <hspaans> asterslash: you may need to relogin
[17:13] <asterslash> hspaans, oh ok, i come back here then, be right back
[17:13] <sky_> hi anyone know about some windows decoration program like Emerald theme ? but he must works without compiz
[17:14] <neurologic> I was just talking to somebody...apparently my sudoers is broken, he told me I need to erase the password, or lack there of, for root, in /etc/shadow Can someone tell me how to do this? I'm looking at the shadow file, but I don't know what to erase...Can somebody please help me?
[17:14] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen,any thoughts? =)
[17:14] <genii> neurologic: Root should have no login. There should be a !     between     root:                and               :123456            (or whatever number here)
[17:14] <jughead> I think I finally got my nvidia card driver installed, but it thinks my LCD is only capable of 640x480... how can I change it to the max res?
[17:14] <thebloggu> hspaans, no, nothing, still the same
[17:15] <neurologic> genii: what's there I assume is a hash of the password? It's a bunch of random numbers and letters
[17:15] <johannes_> hi im using 8.04 and use two hdds, one for the os and one for data, can I tell ubuntu to turn off one of the hdds when it hasnt been used for an hour?
[17:15] <genii> neurologic: Yes, thats an md5 hash of the current password
[17:15] <hspaans> thebloggu: you may need to unset some more, but what is your problem?
[17:16] <g0r8y> jughead - if your driver is working u can use randr
[17:16] <g0r8y> or xrandr
[17:16] <neurologic> genii: okay, so if I remove that I should be able to use root? or?
[17:16] <urban_ryoga> hi. i'm trying to upgrade to 8.10 but the live cd doesnt recognize my partitions...
[17:16] <quatar-it> Hi all. Has anyone ever used fbi?
[17:16] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me out setting up a network printer? (I dont even have the printing menu in administration!)
[17:17] <thebloggu> hspaans, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1025704
[17:17] <neurologic> genii: or, uh, when would one have been prompted to set a root password? I might remember it.
[17:18] <g0r8y> Im noticeing that my xorg.conf is very blank compared to my last install of ubuntu - can I stop the modules that are being loaded automaticaly as normal in there?
[17:19] <genii> neurologic: Ubuntu is designed to NOT use root account. Things requiring admin rights should be done instead with sudo
[17:19] <neurologic> genii: unfortunately sudoers is broken, so...that's not possible
[17:20] <genii> neurologic: I would recommend to use a default type sudoers file. Should be only 2 entries in it.
[17:20] <bastid_raZor> neurologic; use the liveCD to set the permissions of the file you need
[17:20] <rhaven> hi, can someone point me in the right direction to mount a hard drive, that is in a "hard drive bay", it doesnt appear in /dev as sdb or sdc
[17:20] <neurologic> bastid_raZor: I'm on the livecd right now, so I should change the permissions of sudoers?
[17:20] <mrwes> how do you break sudo?
[17:21] <neurologic> genii: well, the person I was talking to before told me I can like...chmod 044 or something and fix the sudoers file
[17:21] <bastid_raZor> neurologic; didn't you say it has the wrong permissions earlier? mount your / drive and make the changes
[17:21] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen - only the nvdia-config has modified my xorg.conf and there are no signs of bad stuff happening in the xorg.log
[17:21] <neurologic> bastid_raZor: yeah it said something like it was 0664 instead of 0440 or something
[17:21] <KoolD> can someone name a good cd burner
[17:21] <genii> neurologic: 3 lines actually... eg: Defaults        env_reset         and: root    ALL=(ALL) ALL                      and another line of: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL                And yes should be permissions like 644 or such
[17:21] <RivitingOne> Where can I find a good up to date Walkthrough on steps to take after a brand new install to get all the normal functionality that ubuntu doesn't come with. Dvd playback, NTFS access, the ability to have sound on two applications at once, possibly something that can display a .gif.
[17:22] <bazhang> !burners > KoolD
[17:22] <fosco__> KoolD, brasero on gnome or k3b on kde
[17:22] <neurologic> genii: but that was the error I was getting in the terminal, that I couldn't use the sudoers because it was set to 66 something instead of 0440 or whatever
[17:22] <mrwes> RivitingOne: I believe the forums have an 'ultimate media installation guide'
[17:22] <KoolD> thanks a lot
[17:23] <Dan> hello
[17:23] <Dan> hola?
[17:23] <bazhang> RivitingOne, ubuntu-restricted-extras and two packages from medibuntu
[17:23] <ldiamond> How do I get the "Printing" menu in System->Administration ????
[17:23] <genii> neurologic: Boot to recovery mode kernel. Then issue:   chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
[17:24] <mrwes> bazhang: yah..I forgot ubuntu-restricted-packages make it easy
[17:24] <venger> having trouble setting up CUPS, i have the printer installed but even when i go to http://server:631 on the server itself and do a print test page, i get an authentication dialog which will not accept any known credentials.  I've read the admin portions of the interface may be disabled in ubuntu by default.  Also there is no cups[sys] user after installation which i believe would need to be in the shadow group for basic authentication to work.  can anyone
[17:24] <Dan> this irc only speak inglish?
[17:24] <neurologic> genii: ok, how do I boot into a recovery mode?
[17:24] <thebloggu> hspaans, have you seen the post ?
[17:24] <fosco__> !es | Dan
[17:24] <bazhang> Dan, #ubuntu-es for espanol
[17:24] <Dan> ups...
[17:24] <Dan> thanks!
[17:24] <genii> neurologic: Hit esc during grub. Choose the recovery kernel line.   Then boot to that. Issue the chmod line. Then after: telinit 2
[17:25] <storrgie> I am using ubuntu on my media center with a 50" plasma 1080p display. I would like everything to be 'larger' in windows I would adjust the DPI... is there a comparable adjustment in linux?
[17:25] <mrwes> ldiamond: right click on the system menu and then goto administration and check the printer icon
[17:25] <duffydack> storrgie: yeah, adjust the dpi :)
[17:26] <storrgie> duffydack: figured as much, where would I find this?
[17:26] <mrwes> ldiamond: right click on the system menu and then goto edit and then administration and check the printer icon
[17:26] <neurologic> genii: what does telinit 2 do? O_o
[17:26] <ldiamond> mrwes, the printing menu is not there either, I'm missing the package
[17:26] <ldiamond> mrwes, but I have absolutely no idea what the package name is.
[17:26] <mrwes> ldiamond: cups is missing?
[17:26] <genii> neurologic: telinit 2        puts the computer into multi-user mode from single-user mode ("recovery")
[17:26] <mrwes> !cups
[17:26] <storrgie> Is it difficult to get the optical audio to work in ubuntu?
[17:26] <tewmten> quick question: is there no BitchX package in ubuntu's repos??
[17:27] <ldiamond> mrwes, gnome-cups-manager seemed to be the right one, but I cant get this package (it can only be referenced by other packages)
[17:27] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen - i have tried setting a manual resloution in xorg.conf but i dont think this is issue
[17:27] <ldiamond> mrwes, I have cups installed
[17:27] <tewmten> cant find it on packages.ubuntu.com =O
[17:27] <neurologic> genii: ah ok. well thanks. I'll brb hopefully
[17:27] <bazhang> tewmten, irssi instead
[17:27] <tewmten> bazhang: no I was asking for BitchX
[17:27] <duffydack> storrgie: i dont actually know for SURE but appearance options, fonts/details
[17:27] <storrgie> g0r8y: there is a hack to get that working properly, you have to enter the lspci information into xorg.conf before restarting
[17:27] <duffydack> never adjusted it
[17:28] <mrwes> ldiamond: I dunno....cups worked after the basic installation I didn't have to add anything
[17:28] <g0r8y> storrgie: awesome ty, that should be enough to goolge=)
[17:28] <AngryElf> how do I find out what package a given file is in?
[17:28] <ldiamond> mrwes, I installed from the alternate CD and did a minimal installation with no window manager
[17:28] <storrgie> g0r8y: if i remember right you just have to do an lspci and enter the busid in the xorg.conf file under the video adaptor....
[17:28] <onetinsoldier> AngryElf: dpkg -S <path_to_file>
[17:29] <storrgie> g0r8y: when u find the link will you send it to me, i should have that bookmarked
[17:29] <mrwes> ldiamond: sudo apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client
[17:29] <thebloggu> hspaans, have you seen the post ?
[17:30] <Dan> hello to all
[17:30] <onetinsoldier> !welcome | Dan
[17:30] <ldiamond> mrwes, still nothing :(
[17:30] <g0r8y> Storrgie: will do - by doing that am i basicly overideing something automatic, my x.org.conf seems very barren compared to my previous  installs
[17:30] <Dan> thanks onerinsoldier :D
[17:30] <onetinsoldier> :-)
[17:30] <Dan> one question
[17:31] <Dan> how to enabled wireless atheros on Ubuntu 8.10?
[17:31] <storrgie> g0r8y: well kinda, your just identifying the hardware in the xorg.conf, only adding a single line
[17:31] <HideousNashimoto> Hey, I need to burn 7.9 GB of data to dual layer 8.5 GB DVD, but Ubuntu is F*** me in the brain with some stupid!!!!!!!
[17:31] <bazhang> HideousNashimoto, no cursing here
[17:31] <HideousNashimoto> It say that there is not enough room on DVD
[17:31] <HideousNashimoto> Can you tell me some good software for burning
[17:31] <bazhang> !burners > HideousNashimoto
[17:32] <Dan> the card is a atheros ar242x
[17:32] <mrwes> ldiamond: try this link...https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/cups.html
[17:32] <g0r8y> Storrgie: yeah im used to doing that stuff previously but thought that might be the wrong approach now as the config file was so empty
[17:32] <Dan> not can enabled on ubuntu 8.10
[17:32] <ardchoille> HideousNashimoto: nautilus hasn't let me down as far as burning yet :)
[17:32] <NintendoGuy0> Hey all :)
[17:32] <HideousNashimoto> Well I can't it say that  I need to pud DVD R-L
[17:32] <HideousNashimoto> in it
[17:32] <HideousNashimoto> Even though I put it
[17:33] <ardchoille> HideousNashimoto: perhaps give brasero a try? you should already have that
[17:33] <bazhang> Dan, the ubuntu wiki has a link for that
[17:33] <Neurologic> genii, Thank you so much!!!
[17:33] <ldiamond> mrwes, All I want is to add the printing menu so I can configure my network printer using GUI
[17:33] <NintendoGuy0> Just wondering, I'm a beginner with Ubuntu. Is there some way I can just install a plugin/addon/mod to ubuntu that will allow me to run Windows Programs as easily as I can with WinXP?
[17:33] <HideousNashimoto> I tried brasero also, it *** me about some oversized thing also
[17:33] <Dan> please someone can help me with my card?
[17:33] <Neurologic> genii, everything works, and I remembered my root password! XD
[17:34] <genii> Neurologic: Glad to see you're back on track :)
[17:34] <HideousNashimoto> And that medium is not available for writing with current set of plugins
[17:34] <fosco__> NintendoGuy0, you can use wine
[17:34] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, check the appdb
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> Fosco, WINE costs money.
[17:34] <fosco__> no
[17:34] <bazhang> !appdb > NintendoGuy0
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> And I don't have money :)
[17:34] <Neurologic> genii, yep, thank you again! and razor too
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> Okay.
[17:34] <fosco__> wine is free
[17:34] <mrwes> ldiamond: try the webgui  http://localhost:631
[17:34] <Dan> please someone can help me with my card atheros on Ubuntu?
[17:34] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, no it does not. it is software.
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> Oh?
[17:35] <NintendoGuy0> I thought it said on the website it did.
[17:35] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: you're confusing cedega with the main wine tree
[17:35] <captainm> NintendoGuy0: You can use wine (it's free, really!) or a virtuall machine like virtuallbox
[17:35] <storrgie> anyone have experience getting optical audio to work?
[17:35] <bazhang> help in #winehq NintendoGuy0
[17:35] <mrwes> free wine? where?
[17:35] <mrwes> heh
[17:35] <Dan> I've read my questions?
[17:36] <zeld> hi all
[17:36] <bazhang> Dan, the ubuntu wiki has a link
[17:36] <onetinsoldier> hi zeld
[17:36] <bazhang> !wiki > Dan

[17:36] <zeld> hi al..

[17:36] <NintendoGuy0> So.. how easy is WINE?
[17:36] <zeld> how can disable nm-applet from ubuntu?
[17:36] <Dan> help :D
[17:36] <nat2610> I don't know why but after a couple of hour of uptime, my sound stops working, I tried to restart /etc/init.d/pulseaudio but I'm not sure it worked... and the sounds isn't back is there anything I can check?
[17:36] <HideousNashimoto> 8137 MB
[17:36] <fosco__> NintendoGuy0, just try
[17:36] <zeld> onetinsoldier: :)
[17:36] <bazhang> Dan, you need to read the link
[17:36] <Dan> only need module for atheros ar242x
[17:36] <NintendoGuy0> Alright.
[17:36] <captainm> NintendoGuy0: depends on the software you're trying to run
[17:36] <sky_> NintendoGuy0: why you use linux if you use windows program here ?
[17:37] <mrwes> ldiamond: did you try the webgui ?
[17:37] <sky_> if you want use there windows apps
[17:37] <Dan> what link?
[17:37] <NintendoGuy0> sky_, because
[17:37] <mrwes> ldiamond: I actuall use that...works pretty good
[17:37] <zeld> there is a dettailed how to?? where is explained good?
[17:37] <NintendoGuy0> For one, I'm sick of Windows.
[17:37] <ldiamond> mrwes, I'm trying to add the network printer but I dont really know how to locate it.
[17:37] <ardchoille> I need a command line ftp client and am open to suggestions
[17:37] <zeld> i don't want nm-applet password manager
[17:37] <bastid_raZor> ardchoille; scp ?
[17:37] <sky_> NintedoGuy0: and which programes ? i use wine only for gaming :P
[17:38] <NintendoGuy0> Two, I have bluescreen on my other computer, and I don't want to bother buying XP or Vista
[17:38] <bazhang> sky_, NintendoGuy0 please take game chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:38] <fosco__> ardchoille, lftp
[17:38] <mrwes> ldiamond: did you fire up your web browser and goto http://localhost:631 and then hit add printer?
[17:38] <NintendoGuy0> is this really off-topic?
[17:38] <storrgie> g0r8y: find it yet?
[17:38] <zeld> NintendoGuy0: remove vista and Xp ;) increase your disck space :)
[17:38] <zeld> s/disck/disk
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> zeld, what do you mean..?
[17:39] <ldiamond> mrwes, yes
[17:39] <mrwes> and?
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> I'm sorry
[17:39] <zeld> nothing :)
[17:39] <Dan> :S
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> I cant stress how uneducated I am with this sort of stuff.
[17:39] <sky_> NintendoGuy0: wine is really simple...just click on exe and enjoy :D
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> Oh, thanks sky
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> that's what I meant.
[17:39] <ardchoille> bastid_raZor: that would be hugely hindered by my faulty memory
[17:39] <zwobble> hey there, managed to get my beamer working :)... just one quick question: How do i remove the "Laptop 15"  notice
[17:40] <zwobble> its at the top left of my scren
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> ardchoille; rsync ?
[17:40] <NintendoGuy0> I didnt really want to have to open up an emulator program in Ubuntu and go searching for the Windows program.
[17:40] <captainm> ardchoille: I like lftp
[17:40] <mrwes> ldiamond: and then fill in the required information, like Printer Name, Location and Description
[17:40] <NintendoGuy0> I'll give WINE a go, thanks!
[17:40] <ardchoille> fosco__: lftp, eh? and it's already installed :)
[17:40] <ardchoille> I think ubuntu ships with lftp
[17:40] <sky_> NintendoGuy0: wine is not an emulator xD
[17:41] <ldiamond> mrwes, That's what I dont know how to fill. Anyways, I need to print something right now (a form that cant be saved). So I'm now trying to print it to PDF
[17:41] <NintendoGuy0> sky_, I heard that technically, WINE is an emulator
[17:41] <mrwes> ldiamond: what is the pritner connected to?
[17:41] <ldiamond> mrwes, I just added a PDF printer, but it doesnt work when I try to print to it from Acrobat Reader
[17:41] <NintendoGuy0> But I've no right to argue, I haven't the slightest clue
[17:41] <zwoble> beamer works :)
[17:41] <duffydack> its more of a wrapper
[17:41] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: if it was an emulator, XP and Vista would be completely obsolete
[17:41] <venger> NintendoGuy0, #winehq  winehq.org  --- wine is a compatibility layer, a translator at best
[17:41] <ldiamond> mrwes, to a ubuntu desktop machine.
[17:42] <cmdbbq> NintendoGuy0: wine is a compatability layer, so it is and it isn't
[17:42] <captainm> NintendoGuy0: wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator ;)
[17:42] <ldiamond> mrwes, but lets juts add a PDF printer for now
[17:42] <ldiamond> mrwes, Ill worry about the network printer later.
[17:42] <mrwes> ldiamond: same machine or another?
[17:42] <ldiamond> mrwes, Another machine
[17:42] <mrwes> ldiamond: er.. then use internet printing protocol
[17:42] <bastid_raZor> Gnea; XP and Vista are already obsolete.. ;P
[17:42] <NintendoGuy0> @Gnea, sorry, what do you mean if it was an emulator, XP & Vista would be obselete?
[17:42] <bazhang> !offtopic
[17:42] <sky_> we are really offtopic :D
[17:43] <zwobble> How do i remove the "Laptop 15"  notice with a beamer and dual screen?
[17:43] <bazhang> please take chat elsewhere.
[17:43] <NintendoGuy0> Alright
[17:43] <mrwes> sits back in his easychair
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> Okay, now I have a genuine support query.
[17:44] <rhavenw> hi,
[17:44] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, bring it on :)
[17:44] <rhavenw> is there something special i need to do to mount a modular bay
[17:44] <Seveas> hi rhavenw
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> On my other computer (it's on 8.04.1), I can't connect to my dial-up
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> Don't kill me for using dial up :P
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> It's the fastest I can get where I live.
[17:45] <NintendoGuy0> So anyways
[17:45] <mrwes> depressing
[17:45] <duffydack> NintendoGuy0: you`ll do it yourself eventually :)
[17:45] <NintendoGuy0> Well
[17:45] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, upgrade to 8.10 if you can get a cd with packages. It won't magiaclly fix all your problems but dial-up is much easier
[17:45] <duffydack> cant you even get satellite or some 3G dongle
[17:45] <NintendoGuy0> Seveas, I just ordered the CD yesterday
[17:46] <IdleOne> what do i need to do so I can connect to my phone with bluetooth?
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> Duffydack, I've tried
[17:46] <mib_3y96cp> hey guys, can you tell me when the latest release of pidgin will be available on the servers for updates?
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> The satellite provider is useless
[17:46] <Kartagis> help. i tried to make a dhcp server and my laptop can't access the internet now
[17:46] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, I thought ireland was better connected than that :)
[17:46] <Gnea> mib_3y96cp: when it's ready
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> What gave you that idea? xD
[17:46] <nickrud_> Good morning Seveas
[17:46] <Dan> help me for atheros on Ubuntu?
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> Unless you live in some huge city, Internet access is tedious
[17:46] <Gnea> !wireless | Dan
[17:46] <IdleOne> !wireless > Dan
[17:47] <Dan> thanks
[17:47] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, that sucks
[17:47] <mib_3y96cp> well, i know that, but do you guys have an idea of when that might happen?
[17:47] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: it's getting better in rural areas
[17:47] <NintendoGuy0> It's still not very good.
[17:47] <NintendoGuy0> I'm in a relatively rural area.
[17:47] <Gnea> so am I
[17:47] <Gnea> depends who your provider is and who's doing the work
[17:47] <NintendoGuy0> Gnea, ever heard of AirWire?
[17:48] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me setup a PDF printer and/or a Network printer please? I have to print a form that can't be saved.
[17:48] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: nope, they a baby-bell?
[17:48] <venger> echo "test"| lp -dML-2010 yields lp: Not allowed to print.  user is in lpadmin group, printer is accepting requests and idle.  what should I do?
[17:48] <nat2610> I don
[17:48] <NintendoGuy0> I'm not sure what Baby-bell means, but they're definitely inefficient.
[17:48] <Seveas> baybel? cheese?
[17:48] <Dan> can make an automatic script wifi in ubuntu?
[17:48] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: allow me to rephrase - cable or dsl? :)
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> Erm, allowing my inexperience to break through here; It was wireless. I think LAN or something.
[17:49] <ultraren> weird, my laptop's wifi kept timing out until i set up wifi security
[17:49] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: and a 'baby-bell' is a small telephone company that nobody's heard of
[17:49] <mib_3y96cp> hey, again, anyone knows how long will it take for the newest release of pidgin to be available? i'm sure someone here probably knows how's the progress on that going..
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> Oh, thanks Gnea
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> they're big enough
[17:49] <Gnea> heh
[17:49] <bazhang> mib_3y96cp, perhaps next release
[17:49] <Seveas> mib_3y96cp, about april 2009, when jaunty is released
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> but they are way too expensive and the service is awful.
[17:49] <bazhang> mib_3y96cp, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro
[17:50] <nat2610> I don't know what I did I was trying to find a shortcut and (alt + ctrl + <key>) and now everytime I open a new tab in firefox for example, the browser cover the 2 panel bars of gnome ... I don't think it's something in firefox, anybody what I pressed ?
[17:50] <nat2610> and how can I stop that
[17:50] <mib_3y96cp> i didn't know there were so many bug fixes to be implemented
[17:50] <Dan> irc in spanish?
[17:50] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: most baby bells are using a wireless signal these days for rural access - since they're not part of a larger corporation, they can set and demand any price they want and get away with it
[17:50] <Gnea> !es | Dan
[17:50] <bazhang> #ubuntu-es Dan
[17:50] <NintendoGuy0> Gnea, problem is nobody's going to pay for it
[17:50] <NintendoGuy0> especially stingy people like me.
[17:51] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me setup a PDF printer and/or a Network printer please? I have to print a form that can't be saved.
[17:51] <Seveas> !repeat | ldiamond
[17:51] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: and yet, you and I are having this conversation. :)
[17:51] <duffydack> mib_3y96cp: the latest is available on the pidgin site for ubuntu
[17:51] <mib_3y96cp> i mean, they just release the 2.5.3 or something like that last week.. i thought that update should be up on the canonical servers by now..
[17:51] <Seveas> ldiamond, search synaptic for cups-pdf and install that
[17:51] <bazhang> mib_3y96cp, no
[17:51] <ldiamond> Seveas, I did.
[17:51] <NintendoGuy0> I'm on dial-up.
[17:51] <NintendoGuy0> :)
[17:51] <Seveas> ldiamond, then use it :)
[17:51] <ldiamond> Seveas, my problem isnt that simple.
[17:51] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, was there a support question in there?
[17:51] <ldiamond> Seveas, I also have to repeat because nobody answers me.
[17:51] <NintendoGuy0> Oh yes.
[17:52] <NintendoGuy0> Well
[17:52] <mib_3y96cp> well, that sucks.. i love to use the whole apt-get thing for my updates.. don't like to go download software on 3rd party sites, you know?
[17:52] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, please dont use the enter key after one word
[17:52] <ldiamond> Seveas, I dont even have the "Printing" option in System->Administration
[17:52] <Seveas> bazhang, enter is the new space \o/
[17:52] <bazhang> !ot > Seveas
[17:52] <Seveas> ldiamond, install the ubuntu-desktop package
[17:53] <ldiamond> Seveas, configuring it using cups web UI failed as well. (I get /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf failed )
[17:53]  * Gnea passes bazhang a fresh cup of joe
[17:53] <NintendoGuy0> anyways, I've set up the information (user password & username, IP, all that stuff) for my dial up connection, and then I click the Network icon in the bottom right of my screen
[17:53] <Seveas> bazhang, oh grow up.
[17:53] <ldiamond> Seveas, No, I dont want the entire ubuntu-desktop package (as it will also conflict with current applications I have)
[17:53] <Kartagis> help. i tried to run a dhcp server and my laptop can't access the internet now
[17:53] <Coloquialist> I'm having a problem mounting a Disk formatted as ReiserFS
[17:53] <NintendoGuy0> And my dial-up doesn't show up on it.
[17:53] <ldiamond> Seveas, I need the specific package for the printing manager
[17:53] <Gnea> Kartagis: did you actually edit the config file to set it up?
[17:53] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, is this pppoe
[17:53] <Seveas> ldiamond, well then you're rather on your own (or at least without my help :))
[17:53] <Kartagis> Gnea, yes
[17:54] <NintendoGuy0> Err, one second
[17:54] <Seveas> bazhang, pppoe is adsl, dialup is ppp
[17:54] <Gnea> Kartagis: care to pastebin it?
[17:54] <Kartagis> Gnea, and i disabled the one in the modem
[17:54] <NintendoGuy0> I'll fire up my other computer so I can tell you better
[17:54] <Kartagis> Gnea, just a sec
[17:54] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me setup a PDF printer and/or a Network printer please? I have to print a form that can't be saved.
[17:54] <Gnea> bazhang: he's on dialup
[17:54] <NintendoGuy0> It's PPP
[17:54] <Seveas> !ops | ldiamond keeps repeating
[17:54] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto NintendoGuy0 here is a link for you to read

[17:55] <genii> ldiamond:  From in OpenOffice you can just do export to pdf
[17:55] <yogi192> edit the config files with vim
[17:55] <AshTray-> Thank you very much hateball :)
[17:56] <AshTray-> Have a nice evening.
[17:56] <Shammah> 'Evening
[17:56] <ldiamond> genii, I'm currently filling a form in Acrobat Reader
[17:56] <floryn90> #ubuntu-it
[17:56] <ldiamond> genii, however, it just randomly crashed...
[17:56] <Shammah> Is it right it currently is impossible to run any 'new' games like CS: Source via Wine with an ATI HD4870? Even with the latest driers?
[17:56] <Shammah> *is it ture
[17:56] <Shammah> **true
[17:57] <nerdyperdy> hey all...i have a question
[17:57] <Coloquialist> anyone available to assist me with a Problem mounting an HDD?
[17:57] <bazhang> Shammah, check the appdb
[17:57] <bazhang> !appdb > Shammah
[17:57] <Shammah> Bazhang: It's more of the drivers I think
[17:57] <NintendoGuy0> Okay
[17:58] <ldiamond> Seveas, Its not like I'm spamming you idiotic kid. I have to repeat the question because nobody is answering it. I am waiting a reasonable time before asking again. If ure unhappy, just go outside for a bit... it'll help your mental health.
[17:58] <bazhang> Shammah, likely the appdb will tell what they used to run it; also see #winehq
[17:58] <NintendoGuy0> *Woops, apologies for one-wording again.
[17:58] <nerdyperdy> i dld ubuntu from ubuntu and was wandering if i burned it to a disk and whiped out my hdd,will it boot and install from the disk???
[17:58] <Shammah> Thing is, I get artifacts everywhere, and the appdb says the game should work good
[17:58] <rostaman> I'm with ldiamond
[17:58] <bazhang> Shammah, with compiz or not
[17:58] <Shammah> I also get 40FPS on loewst settings, while i get 120FPS on highest on Windows
[17:58] <Gnea> Kartagis: try setting a range, like this:  range <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:58] <Seveas> ldiamond, read what uboty said. It also gives you alternatices for getting help.  My window settingd are currently set to: Extra Effects
[17:59] <Shammah> Like wobbling windows
[17:59] <rostaman> I'm about to shrink a Vista partition before installing Ubuntu...I'm doing linux development...nothing huge...is 50GB gonna do it?
[17:59] <bazhang> Shammah, aha
[17:59] <rhavenw> do livecds have hotplug/coldplug support for inserting/removing ide drives?
[17:59] <bazhang> Shammah, try setting to none
[17:59] <Shammah> :O
[17:59] <Seveas> rostaman, more than enough
[17:59] <rostaman> ty Seveas
[17:59] <Gnea> Kartagis: and having a broadcast is a good idea too:  option broadcast-address <IP_ADDRESS>;
[17:59] <progre55> hi everyone
[17:59] <ldiamond> Seveas, this is not a case of emergency. A few repeats was the only option here.
[17:59] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: what driver and version are you using in linux? never know, for that game it may be best to windows for it tho
[17:59] <rostaman> Eclipse would be the biggest thing I install I think
[17:59] <AshTray-> Aaa. can't install ebox. http://pastebin.com/m72d1e6da
[17:59] <Shammah> onetinsoldier: I use 8.12 prop drivers
[17:59] <Gnea> ldiamond: still, you should limit your repeats to every 5 minutes or so.
[17:59] <Shammah> The latest
[17:59] <nerdyperdy> can someone help me???
[18:00] <Coloquialist> I'm looking for some assistance mounting a hard drive
[18:00] <Seveas> rostaman, eclipse doesn't take one gb, let alone 50. It's not like it's visual studio :)
[18:00] <progre55> can somebody suggest anything.. why my firefox always starts in offline mode?? is there any ways to fix it?
[18:00] <bazhang> AshTray-, the releases notes indicate ebox does not work with intrepid
[18:00] <donkeykong> lol seveas
[18:00] <n8tuser> ldiamond - hang a few
[18:00] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: roger. yep, them's the latest

[18:00] <rostaman> heh, Sev, ty! :-)   Yeah, I'm a Visual Studio .NET developer that's about to break from the chain$!
[18:00] <Lasivian> any ideas why my ATH5k wireless is not detected until I power down my notebook AND remove the battery?
[18:00] <rostaman> Getting back to my unmanaged, c++ roots
[18:00]  * Shammah still double clicks .exe instead of opening with Wine
[18:00] <Shammah> :(
[18:01] <donkeykong> i used to work on .net studio rostaman. Its a crappy product
[18:01] <ldiamond> Gnea, I limit them according to how many people joined, how many lines were entered since last repeat and how much I need help quickly.
[18:01] <rostaman> it wore me out, DK
[18:01] <ldiamond> Gnea, this added up to around 3-4 mins
[18:01] <bazhang> AshTray-, for intrepid? think I saw a thread or two on ubuntuforums you may want to check there
[18:01] <Kartagis> Gnea, is this the same as range dynamic-bootp ip.ad.d.ress ip.ad.d.ress ?
[18:01] <rostaman> and now that there's WPF and WCF, it's way too platform-y for me
[18:01] <NintendoGuy0> So, I've set up my Dial-Up connection. I left-click the Network Icon, mouse-over dial-up connections, click Connect to ppp0 via Modem, and nothing happens.. any ideas to fix this?
[18:01] <woow-reseau> link french ubuntu channel?
[18:01] <nerdyperdy> i dld ubuntu from the website...if i burn the iso to a cd and whipe my hdd out will it boot from cd and install???thats all i need to know.

[18:02] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, also be sure to md5 the iso and do disk integrity check after burning at low speed
[18:02] <Shammah> Is there some kind of task-manager in GNOME to kill applications?
[18:02] <bazhang> !md5 > nerdyperdy
[18:02] <NintendoGuy0> bazhang, please can you check PM?
[18:02] <AshTray-> -bash: deb: command not found

[18:03] <Seveas> Shammah, system -> admin -> system montior
[18:03] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, the live cd has loaded?
[18:03] <NintendoGuy0> Okay. So you don't know anything about this particular problem?
[18:03] <Shammah> Seveas: Thank you :)

[18:03] <nerdyperdy> i installed ubuntu last night...im on xp know...there both installed and running perfectly...i want to make xp go away
[18:04] <Gnea> Kartagis: hrm, no. the 'range' is reserving a pool of ip's to use - since you're using .2 as dns and .1 as a router, clearly you wouldn't want those being in the default pool (1-254)
[18:04] <rostaman> Sev or donkeykong:  Is there a preferred IDE for C++ dev on Debian, etc.?  Vague question, I know.
[18:04] <MrHankey> are there anny whocan tell me why my amsn doesent work

[18:05] <bazhang> gparted livecd or the ubuntu live cd can do it nerdyperdy
[18:05] <rostaman> heh, Sev :)
[18:05] <rostaman> I know Eclipse from Java dev, so...
[18:05] <MrHankey> flasklapp.webs.com is the best page ever!

[18:05] <bazhang> MrHankey, dont spam here
[18:05] <Seveas> !ops | MrHankey spamming
[18:05] <Gnea> Seveas: no need to be so hasty :)
[18:05] <Seveas> ah bazhang, sorry I was too slow :)
[18:05] <Seveas> Gnea, I hate spam :)
[18:05] <donkeykong> rostaman: i think eclipse should work for that ... no ?
[18:05] <Seveas> Gnea, and one never knows how much attention the ops are paying
[18:06] <Gnea> Seveas: so do I ;)
[18:06] <Kartagis> brb
[18:06] <nerdyperdy> so...what do i need to do????
[18:06] <donkeykong> long time since i programmed .net or c++
[18:06] <Gnea> Seveas: oh, they pay a good amount of attention these days
[18:06] <fisheater> hello
[18:06] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, easy way or more difficult way
[18:06] <nerdyperdy> easy
[18:06] <n8tuser> ldiamond - you   gksu system-config-printer  and then select add class
[18:06] <Shammah> bazhang: Still glitchy, but less however
[18:06] <bazhang> Shammah, which drivers and how installed
[18:06] <Gnea> n8tuser: he left awhile ago
[18:06] <donkeykong> anybody know a good irc channel/server for java discussion ?
[18:07] <n8tuser> too bad
[18:07] <Gnea> donkeykong: #java
[18:07] <fisheater> super basic question: does 'sudo get-apt install" get info from the live CD or from the internet?
[18:07] <NintendoGuy0> I don't know what modem I have :l
[18:07] <Gnea> fisheater: it depends what's set in sources.list
[18:07] <bazhang> fisheater, is the cd in your sources.list?
[18:08] <bazhang> jinx
[18:08] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: internal?
[18:08] <NintendoGuy0> I have an Advent 7110
[18:08] <fisheater> dang, i didnt ever think of it... let me check
[18:08] <Shammah> Hmmm
[18:08] <AshTray-> "ebox | 0.11.99-0ubuntu11 | intrepid/universe | source, all" That means ebox supports interpid. Still.. http://pastebin.com/m7f03a63a
[18:08] <NintendoGuy0> It's an internal modem, yes
[18:08] <Seveas> fisheater, both. It reads the package list from the system you're on (so if you're on the live cd it does that) and packages from the internet or package cd's
[18:08] <NintendoGuy0> as opposed to a portable or mobile modem.
[18:08] <bazhang> fisheater, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of cd
[18:08] <Gnea> aka external, yeah
[18:08] <earthen> is it possable and easy to install the ubuntu setup disk on a flash drive
[18:08] <woow-reseau> i got problem to write file on my new dd
[18:08] <Shammah> bazhang: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI - I followed to guide to install the latest 8.12 from ati.com
[18:09] <woow-reseau> he is on ext3
[18:09] <NintendoGuy0> Alright Gnea
[18:09] <Shammah> I did the checks like flgrxinfo etc to check it, and it says they're installed correctly
[18:09] <woow-reseau> someone?
[18:09] <NintendoGuy0> Any ideas what modem I might have?
[18:09] <fisheater> great thaks for the info!
[18:09] <NintendoGuy0> :l
[18:09] <Gnea> you know, they throw this freenx-vnc package in and, I have to wonder why: http://pastebin.com/d1579986a
[18:10] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: fglrxinfo? are you sure you have and used that command?
[18:10] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, lets keep this in channel please; easy way is just to reinstall and use entire disk, slightly less easy is to use gparted live cd or ubuntu live cd and delete the xp partition and format as ext3
[18:10] <fisheater> i am trying to put ubuntu on an acer aspire 5000, but cant access the wired nor wireless net. thanks for you help
[18:10] <Shammah> ontinsoldier: It was out of the tip of my head :-)
[18:10] <woow-reseau>  /join #ubuntu-fr
[18:10] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: ok
[18:10] <Shammah> onetinsoldier: I used the exact command given on the site ;)
[18:10] <nerdyperdy> so what do i do???
[18:10] <NintendoGuy0> fisheater, i think I've the same problem
[18:11] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, did you just not read what I wrote above? ^^
[18:11] <NintendoGuy0> how far do you get?
[18:11] <donkeykong> gnea: it says i need to be identified to join channel. what does that mean ?
[18:11] <woow-reseau> may someone help me for my hard dsk problem?

[18:34] <hspaans> doglino: 8.04 or 8.10?
[18:34] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: no message about it creating a file after the screen comes back?
[18:34] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/browse/product+brother-dcp-135c?id=6498 warthog
[18:34] <doglino> 8,04
[18:34] <Pirate_Hunter> Seveas wouldnt make a difference since the current one is the defualt one made after install
[18:34] <ScottG> Every time I update my graphics driver and reboot, the "Ubuntu" login screen gets pushed over to the far right as does the username and password promt. I tried removing the driver and it worked, but as soon as I updated it again it did the same thing after I restarted. Can someone help?

[18:55] <shams> hspaans: thank you
[18:55] <onetinsoldier> eidolon: does it look ok in full-screen?
[18:55] <thebloggu> hspaans, you have seen the post ?
[18:55] <Abhaile> Is there a channel that is less for troubleshooting and more for general OS discussion?
[18:55] <onetinsoldier> eidolon: or is full-screen the same as preview?
[18:55] <gaintsura> ar
[18:55] <eidolon> onetinsoldier: full screen shows the same behaviour.  blinkyblinky.

[18:56] <wwb> for the person who was wondering if i was an ubuntu staff member, no.
[18:57] <lvlint67> eidolon, i think that's your problem. form what i gather it's an unresolved bug
[18:57] <wwb> i was Canonical
[18:57] <bazhang> wwb, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:57] <eidolon> lvlint67: oh really.  Huh.  let me refine my google searches a bit.
[18:57] <lvlint67> does it work if you disable compiz (i know it's not a solution but to isolate the problem)
[18:57] <onetinsoldier> eidolon: what output do you get from? --> grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[19:10] <Guest58288> hi
[19:10] <Guest58288> all
[19:10] <sigmab3ta> hey guys i'm running intrepid and am trying to use my zune with vmware. however sometimes vmware will freeze until i unplug the zune - whatever, i'll figure that out later, but the thing is that after this happens, ubuntu refuses to recognize the zune as usb 2.0
[19:10] <zelda> hi lol
[19:10] <jamus> Shammah:  about the shrinking part i recommend gparted partition manager live-cd
[19:10] <Guest58288> how are u :D?
[19:10] <sigmab3ta> until i reboot. i assume this is somehow restarting a USB management service of some sort. is there a way to do that without rebooting?
[19:10] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: i don't know about shrinking / unless you originally formatted as LVM. however, i do think you could move /home to a new partition, yes
[19:11] <genii> Lol: Do you have some ubuntu support question?
[19:11] <noobie__> jamus, how can I switch the kernel?
[19:11] <zelda> lol, your the vampire

[19:24] <zelda> he maybe using Mandriva
[19:24] <bazhang> Vampire, please paste.ubuntu.com your sources.list
[19:24] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: try doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from shell

[19:25] <dstar> Does anyone know if there is any way to disable the on-screen display that pops up when I use the volume-up/down buttons on my laptop? My laptop has a front-mounted wheel that's stupidly sensitive and easily bumped, so it's popping up all the time....
[19:26] <bazhang> Vampire, there is no 9.6
[19:26] <sigmab3ta> Vampire: there's no ubuntu 9.6. Ubuntu releases are named after the date they're released - 8.10 was released in 2008 October. there's no 9.6 because 2009 June hasn't happened yet
[19:26] <bazhang> Vampire, please take chat elsewhere
[19:26] <RivitingOne> Would it be possible to have 2 copies of Ubuntu installed that shared the same partitions? Not sure I'm explaining this right. Like have 2 installs that could access the same program... like I click an icon located on the desktop running on the OS located on Partition A or C and it will access a program on partition B.
[19:26] <Vampire> i will go Sory
[19:26] <mdmkolbe> What command line tool will help me extract the dimentions of a JPEG? (Something like what "file" does for PNG)
[19:26] <Vampire> Bye Bye All
[19:26] <fosco__> RivitingOne, you can share /home and swap
[19:27] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: What would you use that for
[19:27] <lvlint67> fosco_, i would think you could, with some work, share alll of the folders if they are partioned and mounted correctly
[19:27] <onetinsoldier> RivitingOne: you might only want to share partitions like   /usr/local and/or /opt and/or /home
[19:27] <nDuff> mdeslaur, GraphicsMagick should do that
[19:28] <fosco__> lvlint67, sharing all folders has no sense
[19:28] <lvlint67> fosco_,  no but sharing folders with common programs does
[19:28] <zelda> why not put it on a NAS device?
[19:28] <lvlint67> because NAs is expensive
[19:29] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: that didnt work my problm is that when i startx it goes black and i cant use any commands agterwards
[19:29] <zelda> lvlint67: not really. I have a NAS device that i made out of a few hard drives.
[19:29] <mdmkolbe> nDuff: (I assume you were refering to me) thx, that seems to do the job just fine
[19:30] <RivitingOne> Hak5fan: My issue is that the video driver I currently have works excellent for playing games but has very poor performance with dvd and video playback. I have used another Driver that had supurb video quality but I was unable to get my games to work. I am thinking I could have 2 seperate installes of ubuntu that had different drivers installed that I could use for video playback or games.
[19:30] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: Does it print any error messages on screen?
[19:30] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i mount usb through command line
[19:31] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: see if you can spot the device and partition with  sudo parted -l
[19:31] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: no i cant see anythind I used to know a command that tested X without actually going into it and printed errors but i forgot and this way i not helping me at all
[19:31] <GNUtoo> hello the computer shut down itself during the ubuntu upgrade...so I made a dpkg --configure -a and an apt-get autoremove...is it sufficent?
[19:31] <meareweird> hello

[19:31] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: partition is there
[19:32] <lacax> hi all
[19:32] <Pirate_Hunter> can someoen tell me how to mount usb pen drive through command line?
[19:32] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: ok, make a mount point in either /media or /mnt and use the 'mount' command to mount it
[19:33] <GNUtoo> sudo do-release-upgrade doesn't work
[19:33] <lacax> i just installed the ubuntu 8.10 and i dont't know how to make my 5.1 sound system work

[19:33] <Kartagis> !anyone | lacax
[19:33] <RivitingOne> hak5fan: I am not sure how I would do that. I am fairly new to linux and not at all sure of what the capabilities of this OS are.
[19:33] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: any suggestions with my xorg problem
[19:33] <[Spooky]> Cant alien make debs of *tar.bz2 files?
[19:34] <gumpish> =/ So I have some source code that has a makefile and all that... how can I tell what it's going to install (and where) before I run make install? (I'm working with software that isn't in the repositories.)
[19:34] <hak5fan> RivitingOne:  I'm not quite sure  how myself, but give me the name of the two different video drivers and I'll give it a shot
[19:34] <zelda> sorry, offtopic: anyone use Xchat?
[19:35] <Smilee> hello
[19:35] <lacax> Kartagis, i asked it a little upper
[19:35] <shipz> yes
[19:35] <shipz> xchat is my hero :)
[19:35] <Smilee> i have xp pro but want to install ubuntu: does it matter if ubuntu is on 2nd partition and xp on 1st ?
[19:35] <zelda> mind if I PM you shipz?
[19:35] <nDuff> zelda, why? are you having a problem with it you want help with? if so, ask about the problem, don't ask if anyone uses it first.
[19:35] <lacax> i want to my 5.1 sound system work normally
[19:35] <orudie> how can i install ssh-server on 8.10 ubuntu server ?
[19:35] <nDuff> Smilee, that will work.
[19:35] <lacax> but don't know how
[19:36] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: you don't know how to use the mount command?
[19:36] <shipz> Smilee, not that I know of, long as the bootloader is configured properly
[19:36] <Pirate_Hunter> does anyone know a command to test xorg sever file withoutt he system starting x but instead pinting replies from x
[19:36] <Smilee> nDuff: what's the best way to have both xp and ubuntu installed ?
[19:36] <zelda> How do I ignore all incoming messages?
[19:36] <WebcamWonder> !dualboot | Smilee
[19:36] <Imaginativeone_> on which os?
[19:36] <Ahadiel> lacax, pastebin the output of aplay -l
[19:36] <Smilee> htanks
[19:36] <Smilee> thanks
[19:36] <Smilee> *
[19:36] <Imaginativeone_> oops
[19:36] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: i do know its that i dont know the device for the usb the previous command u gave only gave me the physical partitions i.e. sda1 & 2
[19:36] <Ahadiel> lacax, and are you using Pulseaudio?
[19:37] <lacax> Ahadiel: yes
[19:37] <RivitingOne> Hak5fan: Well, the on I am using now is the proprietary driver that you ckicl the check box for under System-> Administrator -> Drivers. The other one was installed with a program called envyNG. I'm not sure if those are the names your looking for or not.
[19:37] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: well a usb device will likely show up as something other than your hard drive device
[19:38] <ggsdgdsg1> How to install GRUB from live CD?
[19:38] <Ahadiel> lacax, also pastebin /etc/pulse/default.pa
[19:38] <Kartagis> can someone help me fix my dhclient.conf please? it isn't giving out IPs
[19:38] <Ben1> hi guys
[19:38] <nDuff> Smilee, the links you've been given on dual-booting look helpful. One other thing to consider if you want to run them both simultaneously is possibly using VirtualBox to run your Windows system in a VM; the down side of that is that it isn't particularly suitable for gaming.
[19:38] <bazhang> !grub > ggsdgdsg1
[19:38] <lacax> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96205/
[19:38] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: ok but tis not showing up so what should i do
[19:38] <Smilee> how much space do you suggest me to use for ubuntu partition ?
[19:38] <RivitingOne> If I remember correctly my usb devise was listed as media if that helps at all
[19:38] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: if it's not showing up then i don'tknow
[19:38] <Ben1> anyone able to help me with a bit of a custom install??
[19:38] <Ahadiel> lacax, Does your card support 5.1?
[19:38] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: ok
[19:39] <nDuff> Smilee, depends on what you want to do with it; if it's just general desktop usage, 10GB should be fine; if you want to do heavy development or such, I'd allocate significantly more.
[19:39] <lacax> Ahadiel, in windows worked perfectly
[19:39] <Smilee> nDuff: i used ubuntu 2 years ago: i use pc for everything (but im not a programmer nor developer)
[19:39] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: lsmod | grep usb   and make sure your usb drivers are loaded i guess
[19:39] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: I could try to make two different versions of xorg conf for you so you can change between the to different video drivers. But I need the dirver names
[19:39] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: usbcore               175888  4 usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
[19:40] <Ahadiel> lacax, Ah sorry, I meant aplay -L

[19:40] <WebcamWonder> levidos: System -> Preferences -> Appearence, isntall it there

[19:40] <WebcamWonder> !xubuntu | Smilee
[19:40] <nDuff> Smilee, xubuntu, I'd think.
[19:40] <pschorf> bug 245898 | pschorf
[19:40] <Smilee> ok
[19:40] <RivitingOne> hak5fan: Where do I find the actual names?
[19:41] <Ben1> I need to install linux on a 512 HDD. The only way to do it is via my xubuntu live cd. It only needs CLI, no gui rqd. any ideas?
[19:41] <lacax> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96210/
[19:41] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: didn't you have them working....
[19:41] <zelda> Hey with that NAS stuff, couldnt he use 3 HDD and have all the /home on the second?
[19:41] <WebcamWonder> Ben1: What is a 512 HDD? 512 KB, 512 MB, 512 GB, 512 TB, 512 PB?
[19:41] <Ahadiel> lacax, Okay, I'll put together the modified default.pa; Make a back up of the old one before replacing it.
[19:41] <Ward1983> Ben1, debootstrap? :)
[19:42] <Ben1> 512MB... debootstrap????
[19:42] <zelda> Set it all up with Gparted?
[19:42] <levidos> thanks WebcamWonder
[19:42] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: it is showing now as sdb1 but that cant be right eitherway i tried to mount it using this command sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb and it tells me device is not found any suggestions
[19:42] <WebcamWonder> levidos: No problems
[19:42] <RivitingOne> I have the proprietary one working now but all I did was click a check box that said use enable in the hardware drivers
[19:42] <Ward1983> Ben1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[19:42] <WebcamWonder> Ben1: Alternative CD can do a CLI based install IIRC
[19:42] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: What video card brand and model do you have?
[19:42] <RivitingOne> hak5fan: Ati X800
[19:42] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: try... mount -t fat16 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[19:43] <Ward1983> Ben1, or just a minimal install, there is some minimal CD for ubuntu too, i dont remember the exact name
[19:43] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: if that doesn't work then try  fat32
[19:43] <zelda> RivitingOne: thats a nice card. I have the X850 Pro
[19:43] <Ward1983> Ben1, or trow the old disk out and get a 20GB one for 5euro somewhere
[19:43] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: or maybe it's vfat.. not sure
[19:43] <Ward1983> or for free
[19:43] <Ahadiel> lacax, here is the modified /etc/pulse/default.pa => http://paste.ubuntu.com/96212/
[19:43] <hak5fan> pastebin your current xorg.conf somewhere like pastebin.ca
[19:43] <Ben1> webcamwonder the trouble is that I need to boot from a usb CD drive with a weird controller chip, xubuntu is one of very few capable of loading
[19:43] <raylu> onetinsoldier: that won't fix anything
[19:44] <onetinsoldier> raylu: ok
[19:44] <nicklas_> öj
[19:44] <Kartagis> Package dhcpd has no installation candidate <--- what does this mean?
[19:44] <Flannel> !minimal | Ward1983, Ben1
[19:44] <raylu> onetinsoldier: the error is that /dev/sdb1 isn't found, so it's not a type issue
[19:44] <lacax> Ahadiel, thx i''ll try it out
[19:44] <RivitingOne> hak5fan: All it says is ATI accelerated graphics driver then a box for the checkmark and a little green check with the words in use by it
[19:44] <Ahadiel> lacax, k
[19:44] <zelda> RivitingOne: THats what it should do.
[19:44] <Ahadiel> lacax, I've done the same thing on 2 other systems, and they both work perfectly.
[19:44] <Flannel> Kartagis: it means "dhcpd" isn't a package (or your repositories don't know about it anyway), in your case, it's not a package
[19:44] <onetinsoldier> raylu: roger...
[19:44] <Ahadiel> lacax, The only problem is you can't change individual channel volumes.
[19:44] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: it just doesnt accept sdb1
[19:45] <WebcamWonder> Kartagis: I think it comes with dhclient
[19:45] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: Pastebin the contents of /etc/x11/xorg.conf and send me the link
[19:45] <Ben1> thanks flannel. I'll see if that will boot.
[19:45] <onetinsoldier> ok, so...    sudo parted -l   ..shows /dev/sdb1   ...yet /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist, hmmmm
[19:45] <The_Rebel> why is linux-kernel-devel missing from intrepid ibex..
[19:46] <zelda> hak5fan: I had an issue with the autoconfig stuff messing up my xorg.conf. I had to use a 7.10 disk and ran the dkpg command to get it to work.
[19:46] <hak5fan> zelda: so it works now?
[19:46] <WebcamWonder> onetinsoldier: Does sudo fdisk -l also show this /dev/sdb1?
[19:46] <raylu> Pirate_Hunter: have you run "sudo fdisk -l"? also, ls /dev/disk/* may help
[19:46] <lacax> so, then a system reboot... brb
[19:46] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: thats what it says just restarted anyway but yeah i need to mount it so i can get my previous xorg file
[19:47] <Pirate_Hunter> raylu: ok
[19:47] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: i hear ya. i just don't know what to think of that myself
[19:47] <zelda> Hak5Fan: yeah mines working fine.  Tell him to disable that feature and try to dkpg in 8.10. if not throw in a live 7.10 disk and dpkg command, then copy and paste that in teh 8.10 xorg.
[19:48] <The_Rebel> why is linux-kernel-devel missing from intrepid ibex..
[19:48] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: yah i guess trying to bring an old system to life is just hard
[19:48] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder: anything wrong with   parted  ?? imo, fdisk is ancient and outdated now, and shouldn't be used. just my opinion
[19:48] <RivitingOne> hak5fan: http://pastebin.com/d279f3f8e
[19:48] <zelda> hak5fan: yeah thats his problem.
[19:48] <WebcamWonder> onetinsoldier: I don't think so... It is more of a convention I guess
[19:48] <zelda> RivitingOne: Do you have a 7.10 live cd?
[19:49] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder: roger
[19:49] <RivitingOne> zelda: no, just the 8.04 I started with
[19:49] <zelda> RivitingOne: go download one.
[19:49] <zelda> get that going while your here talking.
[19:49] <zelda> I had the same issue you are having.
[19:49] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder: consdier replacing   sudo fidsk -l   -with-   sudo parted -l   ... :-)
[19:50] <Melio1> how do i know what file system i'm running
[19:50] <Melio1> and how do i use su -
[19:50] <RivitingOne> the entire live CD?
[19:50] <zelda> Does anyone know how to turn off that autoconfigure feature in xorg.conf?
[19:50] <Melio1> when i try it, it sais authentication failure
[19:50] <WebcamWonder> onetinsoldier: :)... Last time I used any partiting utility was an eternity ago :D
[19:50] <zelda> RivitingOne: Yes.
[19:50] <Pirate_Hunter> raylu: yeah tried that comamnd the usb is picked up but fdisk -l gives me sort of errors like showing the usb as different parts
[19:50] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder:  i hear ya
[19:50] <Melio1> RivitingOne: riveting
[19:50] <lacax> Ahadiel, i made a system reboot too, but still only two speakers work
[19:51] <JMS32> How to know from what partition i m booted?
[19:51] <onetinsoldier> Melio1: simply type in...   mount
[19:51] <Melio1> onetinsoldier: thanks
[19:51] <rostaman_> my new dual core CPU is always showing 100% util on one of the cores...I'm running Mint FWIW...is that right?
[19:51] <Melio1> onetinsoldier: cool /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[19:51] <Melio1> i need that to be ext2
[19:51] <zelda> RivitingOne: DO you have a USB thumb drive?
[19:51] <onetinsoldier> Melio1: you're welcome... and for the su, i  use    sudo -i   ..if i want a persistent root prompt
[19:51] <neo644> For some reason, my arrow keys tend to get stuck and stay stuck for everything except browsing menus and file browsers until I log out. How can I fix this?
[19:51] <Melio1> is there a defualt su - password
[19:51] <RivitingOne> zelda: yes
[19:52] <Melio1> sudo -i will stick
[19:52] <zelda> good.
[19:52] <Melio1> ok thanks
[19:52] <WebcamWonder> Melio1: Any particular reason why you want to downgrade from ext3 to ext2?
[19:52] <zelda> you'll need it
[19:52] <Melio1> i'm going to convert this filesystem to ext2
[19:52] <Squideshi> What is the difference between the "Add/Remove" option under "Applications" and the "Synaptic Package Manager" under "System > Administration"?
[19:52] <Melio1> WebcamWonder: ext2 is faster/more efficent on ssd cards
[19:52] <Melio1> this is an acer aspire one
[19:52] <Melio1> it has an 8 gig ssd
[19:52] <neo644> Synaptic is a bit more advanced
[19:52] <Ahadiel> lacax, Hrm.
[19:52] <sheep> Squideshi: add/remove is simpler and not as powerful
[19:52] <zelda> Add/Remove is worthless imo
[19:52] <WebcamWonder> Squideshi: Add/Remove programs only shows packages as programs. Synaptic shows all packages individually
[19:52] <Ahadiel> lacax, sudo apt-get install padevchooser; then run "padevchooser".
[19:52] <RivitingOne> zelda: ok so I am downloading 7.10 live CD?
[19:53] <zelda> yes
[19:53] <girao> I can not see the trust webcam with amsn
[19:54] <Squideshi> OK. When I look in Synaptic Package Manager, I see three entries for most categories (i.e. Universe, Multiverse, etc.) What does this mean?
[19:54] <Ahadiel> lacax, left-click the icon it brings up, and go to Volume Control.
[19:54] <GillyGilly2> can someone help me with a virtual pc install of ubunut64? I have a 64 bit processor, but i get the message "Your CPU dose not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution"
[19:54] <raylu> neo644: bit more advanced tan what?
[19:54] <zelda> RivitingOne: I have an X850Pro and I had the same issues where it wouldnt recognize any of my hardware. I didnt catch the exact issue you were having yet im assuming by the looks of it you had the same where you want a certain screen res?
[19:54] <genii> Melio1: tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/foo
[19:54] <sheep> GillyGilly2: I think virtualpc is only 32-bit
[19:54] <Melio1> genii: i read that on a fourm
[19:54] <genii> Melio1: Clears the flag indicating journalled (ext3)
[19:54] <lacax> Ahadiel, and now?
[19:55] <GillyGilly2> i downloaded the 64 bit version of VPC
[19:55] <GillyGilly2> er, im pretty sure i did
[19:55] <Ahadiel> lacax, does surround51:0 show up under Output Devices?
[19:55] <onetinsoldier> !multiverse > Squideshi
[19:55] <rubydiamond> what is the best commandline torrent downloader software
[19:55] <lacax> Ahadiel, yes
[19:55] <Ahadiel> lacax, And under Playback, do you see the application you're using to play music?
[19:55] <lvlint67> GillyGilly2, i get the same problem with sun virtual box, haven't looked into a solution yet
[19:55] <Ahadiel> lacax, How many channels under surround51?
[19:55] <girao> I can not see the webcam with amsn
[19:56] <lacax> Ahadiel, only two (Front Left and Front Right)
[19:56] <GillyGilly2> hmmmmmmm
[19:56] <nicklas__> fjkgbsdfkjgbsdfkgjh
[19:56] <Ahadiel> lacax, hrm...
[19:56] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone suggest how
[19:56] <Pirate_Hunter> oops
[19:56] <NicEXE> how can I find my Ubuntu partition in Vista?
[19:56] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone help me identify why X is not working please
[19:56] <RivitingOne> Zelda: The trouble I am having is that I get horizontal lines and stuttering when I try and play movies or dvd's with my current drivers but with the driver EnvyNG installs I don't have the issue. But with that driver I can't play openGL games.
[19:57] <Squideshi> onetinsoldier: Thanks.
[19:57] <raylu> !ifs
[19:57] <Melio1> this isnt going to be easy
[19:57] <raylu> !search ifs
[19:57] <hak5fan> NicEXE: What file system are you running?P
[19:57] <nicklas__> NicEXE: you cant
[19:57] <Melio1> i need to do this with a differnt os booted
[19:57] <gaintsura> hey all, I'm trying to configure OpenLDAP/slapd on my system for samba sharing, and I'm pretty sure I remember server class... DC= 'domain controller' right? what should that be set to, if its only on my system?
[19:57] <lvlint67> NicEXE, open disk manager, it will likely be the only one that is not recginised
[19:57] <raylu> nicklas__: yes you can. ext2ifs
[19:57] <Melio1> because i can't unmount the /dev/sda1 while stuff is running on it
[19:57] <Melio1> or it'll smoke it
[19:57] <bfig> i am having trouble using madwifi to configure my atheros wireless adapter
[19:57] <The_PHP_Jedi> Sup? If anyone is familiar w/ APCI and an error that says "incorrect checksum in table [OEMB]...", I'll be eternally grateful :P
[19:57] <AshTray-> SquirrelMail gives me this error: "Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 111 : Connection refused". I'm using ubuntu server 8.10 interpid and running postfix and dovecot 1.1.4. This is the pastebind of netstat: http://pastebin.com/m14b7907a, dovecot log: http://pastebin.com/m10322b24, postfix log: http://pastebin.com/m7171dcfd . Please help me. Thank you in advance.
[19:57] <RivitingOne> zelda: I'm looking at about 2 hours 20 min to d/l the 7.10 cd
[19:58] <zelda> RivitingOne: Not sure on that. But looks like your xorg.conf isnt seeing any hardware.
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> Squideshi: you're welcome. i relly like the 'Tongue-in-Cheek' descriptions they have on there  :-)
[19:58] <raylu> AshTray-: ewwww squirelmail
[19:58] <bfig> to be more precise, i haven't been able to make it work at all :(. can somebody help me a bit? i haven't been lucky with google and i'm very new to linux
[19:58] <Ahadiel> lacax, This is what mine looks like. http://omploader.org/vMTJvOQ
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> $release: Don’t touch it, I like consistency, even with my bugs.
[19:58] <AshTray-> raylu: WHat's with it ?
[19:58] <GreedyB> is it worth it to install KDE stuff for amarok?
[19:58] <raylu> AshTray-: it's a webmail client (and it sucks, even for one)
[19:58] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone help me identify why X is not working please
[19:58] <Melio1> ok i'm gonna boot with the usb installer i made
[19:58] <raylu> GreedyB: try exaile
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> $devel: I can take it. Seriously. If you break my X, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
[19:59] <RivitingOne> What exactly am I going to do with the 7.1 CD?
[19:59] <Melio1> then go thru that conversion by hand
[19:59] <zelda> RivitingOne: Ok once you do that, load up the liveCD and then get to terminal and run the dkpg command. go through it. THen you want to stay in term and run sudo gkedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:59] <nicklas__> grinrok juflin
[19:59] <AshTray-> raylu: It's a small server, i need a small thing.
[20:00] <NicEXE> how can I see my files that are in ubuntu's partition using vista?
[20:00] <ariqs> ubuntu seriously needs a program like tcp view for windows. Now, I have a process that's hogging my slow connection, how do I fgure out what it is
[20:00] <zelda> RivitingOne: make sure it sees your hardware, then copy the file to your usb drive. Load up 8.10 and get to terminal and copy/paste from the 7.10 file. That should help
[20:00] <lacax> Ahadiel, and here's mine http://omploader.org/vMTJvYQ
[20:01] <ariqs> someoen told me to type ps x before, which seems almost completely worthless. It jsut seems to list all my processes
[20:01] <BlackDex> hello there..
[20:01] <BlackDex> Is there a way to count the amount of open tcp/network connections?
[20:01] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: I can try to help you with X if you pm me
[20:01] <RivitingOne> Zelda: Might should have mentioned I am on 8.04
[20:01] <onetinsoldier> NicEXE: download and install   ext2 IFS  ...do a google search on that
[20:01] <raylu> hak5fan: it's better to keep support in this channel
[20:01] <RonPaul> is there an onscreen keyboard in ubuntu.  if so, .here can i find it.  Thanks
[20:02] <The_PHP_Jedi> Sup? If anyone is familiar w/ APCI and an error that says "incorrect checksum in table [OEMB]...", I'll be eternally grateful :P
[20:02] <hak5fan> raylu: It's very noisy and hard to follow a problem
[20:02] <The_PHP_Jedi> oh, hey hak5fan :)
[20:02] <raylu> hak5fan: get a client that highlights. for users' safety and everyone elses' benefit, it's still better to keep it in here
[20:02] <hak5fan> The_PHP_Jedi: Ho
[20:02] <The_PHP_Jedi> hak5fan, what's your nick over at the Hak.5 chan?
[20:02] <raylu> hak5fan: also, something that shows you the last messages containing a keyword (someone's nick) is very useful :D
[20:02] <onetinsoldier> NicEXE: hwoever.. sorry, that may very well not work for Vista. i don't know. i've only used it in XP
[20:02] <Ahadiel> lacax, Yeah, I'm not sure then. Sorry =/
[20:02] <ariqs> I want to see what programs are using what internet resources
[20:02] <RonPaul> on screen keyboard?
[20:03] <samuraicrow> My friend's Ubuntu 8.10 system aborts after the GRUB window but will continue after waiting at the busybox prompt for 5 seconds and typing exit.  What's the easiest way to delay the root mount abort?
[20:03] <hak5fan> The_PHP_Jedi: I'm not over there to much and I can't remember my password for it, but iot used to be blackhawk
[20:03] <raylu> onetinsoldier: i'm using it on vista now :D
[20:03] <lacax> Ahadiel, here's my default.pa again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96225/
[20:03] <hak5fan> The_PHP_Jedi: So you're on ubuntu, huh?
[20:03] <onetinsoldier> raylu: oh! ok, cool. thank you for the info. :-)
[20:03] <bfig> can somebody help me set up my atheros wireless adapter using madwifi?
[20:03] <Squideshi> I am missing a "TV" output when I type "xrandr -q" on my Dell Inspiron 1100. This laptop has a 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device with an s-video output. "man intel" indicates that the s-video output should be listed as "TV". Any clues as to why this output might be missing?
[20:04] <onetinsoldier> NicEXE: ok, raylu reports that ext2 IFS does work for Vista, cool.  :-)
[20:04] <Ahadiel> lacax, Not sure, everything looks like it should work.
[20:04] <The_PHP_Jedi> hak5fan, ah. I use it as my primary desktop OS, but my old HD died, and I'm having issues setting it up w/ some new hardware and new HD >.<
[20:04] <The_PHP_Jedi> If anyone is familiar w/ APCI and an error that says "incorrect checksum in table [OEMB]...", I'll be eternally grateful! >.<

[20:07] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: you can try... making sure you have the latest BIOS for the vid card. but even then, you might still get the message
[20:07] <Abhaile> Hey guys, is it possible to create an "image"  or backup of my Ubuntu with all my synaptic downloads, settings, driver settings, compiz/desklet effects and files? Could I do this to a DVD or a jump drive?

[20:12] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: oh! hmmm, that's a bummer. you might keep asking how to solve this, don't repeat too often tho. or make a forum post, or do a lot of google searching
[20:12] <lacax> who use an 5.1 sound system?
[20:12] <AshTray-> SquirrelMail gives me this error: "Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 111 : Connection refused".

[20:15] <Flannel> Ben1: Few hundred meg I believe.  I don't have hard and fast numbers though
[20:15] <Ben1> ok ta
[20:16] <nonix4> default doesn't fit comfortably in 4 gigs
[20:16] <Flannel> nonix4: yes it does.  Default install is right around 2G
[20:16] <nonix4> Flannel: comfortably means surviving one month of updates w/out cleaning up manually :)
[20:17] <nonix4> Flannel: yes, my virtual machine farm is using 4 gig images, and no, it ain't comfortable.

[20:22] <lukasz> I am so glad I did dual Boot :D
[20:22] <samuraicrow> nonix:  It was on a single hard drive.  No RAID or anything.
[20:22] <wasert> hi I'm trying to program a system shutdown
[20:22] <wasert> I'm using at
[20:22] <wasert> but it does not seem to work
[20:22] <poboy975linux> hello, I have a network issue, I can ping all three comps on network. but cant share the internet connection from the laptop to other comps
[20:23] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: while at the console terminal, do --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop   (if gdm is your display manager)
[20:23] <mrwes> wasert: with a crontab?
[20:23] <wasert> no, I'm typing for example:
[20:23] <JMS32_> With what i can burn audio CD?
[20:23] <wasert> at 4:00pm Dec 30
[20:23] <wasert> then I type
[20:23] <wasert> sudo shutdown -h now
[20:23] <wasert> my password
[20:23] <wasert> then Ctrl+D
[20:23] <FloodBot2> wasert: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:23] <guntbert> !enter | wasert
[20:23] <mrwes> heh...
[20:24] <wasert> and I get: job 9 at Tue Dec 30 15:20:00 2008
[20:24] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: btw, you'll need sudo for that command
[20:24] <nonix4> samuraicrow: 'k... mainly seen such issues w/ raid+lvm consisting of 5+ devices... but just one hd can be slow enough
[20:24] <balanar391> yes i have sudo
[20:24] <lukasz> 160 gb Is More then enought for 2 operating systems :D
[20:24] <nDuff> wasert, is atd running?
[20:24] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: ok, did you get a response from that command?
[20:24] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: did it say OK ?
[20:24] <xun> hi, does anyone know why my laptop would just have the "dd" service running in the background(i don't think I've ran the "dd" command sinc the reboot)? it's taking 30% of my total cpu usage
[20:25] <wasert> nDuff, I don't know. I tried to do some tests and for example try: sudo apt-get update > file.txt . The file is created but blank
[20:25] <nDuff> wasert, if it's running, did it send you an email with the task output?
[20:25] <readygo> i have an intel 64-bit quadcore, should i use the amd64 disk image?
[20:25] <manja> how do I make my webcam work in skype?
[20:25] <onetinsoldier> readygo: yes
[20:25] <readygo> onetinsoldier: ok, thanks!
[20:25] <onetinsoldier> :-)
[20:25] <nDuff> wasert, if you want your at job to run as root, you should run "sudo at", not put the sudo inside the at job.
[20:25] <RivitingOne> Can anyone suggest a guide detailing steps to take after install?  Programs, libraries, and other steps I need to take to get functionality near what I would expect on windows.
[20:26] <nonix4> samuraicrow: if you have a look at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, can you spot where it stops?
[20:26] <johannes_> is there a command line tool to see the current cpu frequency?
[20:26] <wasert> nDuff, I can see this in /var/log/syslog: Dec 30 15:20:02 jelly atd[10701]: Exec failed for mail command: No such file or directory
[20:26] <nDuff> wasert, ahh; that's why you aren't getting failure reports
[20:26] <Slart> RivitingOne: oh.. you're already way past windows when the installer is finished =)
[20:26] <onetinsoldier> RivitingOne: i can send you my package list.. lol
[20:26] <wasert> ok I will try that, It's just that I saw that on ubuntuforums
[20:26] <Delvien> johannes_: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[20:26] <johannes_> thx
[20:27] <poboy975linux> Rivitingone: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683&highlight=ubuntu+opera+quicktime  it helps setup your media and stuff
[20:27] <nonix4> samuraicrow: or in another words, does it stop at 'log_begin_msg "Mounting root file system..."'?
[20:27] <lukasz> How can I get a channel list?
[20:27] <pos69sum> hi
[20:27] <pos69sum> anyone using proftpd over tls?
[20:27] <lukasz> nevermind
[20:27] <bfig> can somebody help me set up my atheros wireless adapter using madwifi?
[20:27] <Slart> RivitingOne: is it anything special you want to do/fix?
[20:28] <nDuff> wasert, install mailx or such.
[20:28] <samuraicrow> nonix4:  I'm not at my friend's computer at the moment but it usually pops up an interrupt message after about 5 seconds and will resume booting after exiting the shell.
[20:28] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: so, are you still in need of help?
[20:28] <Mimi> Hi all, is there a way i can share wireless from my laptop to my boyfriends laptop? (wifi to wifi card) we dont have a router
[20:28] <xun> does anyone know why my laptop would just run "dd" & "klogd" in the background by itself? they take a lot of CPU usage. thanks
[20:29] <nDuff> Mimi, you should be able to use ad-hoc wireless
[20:29] <balanar391> onetin: yes I stopped the gnome
[20:29] <simpleos> hi all, would someone kindly help me compile a kernel?
[20:29] <nDuff> Mimi, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[20:29] <poboy975linux> hi I could use some help figuring out why internet is not being shared
[20:30] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - not shared by whom?
[20:30] <RivitingOne> Slart: Not really. When I first installed I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and I have added a lot of random stuff trying to get some functionality. Just thinking if I could start over I might have better results
[20:30] <wasert> nDuff, Thank you I tried with sudo at, and It worked.
[20:30] <guntbert> !kernel | simpleos
[20:30] <manja> where do I get drivers for a creative webcam?
[20:30] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: ok, be a little responsive.. talk to me, let me know you're alive and kicking.  next step is --> sudo Xorg -configure    ...then look in either you home directory or in root's home directory for a file named 'xorg.conf.new'
[20:30] <RivitingOne> poboy975linux: Thanks, looks like what I was looking for
[20:30] <poboy975linux> I have a laptop that is connected to internet through wireless...I want to share that connection from ethernet on laptop to hub to other computers on network
[20:30] <mrwes> heh onetinsoldier
[20:31] <onetinsoldier> mrwes: howdy
[20:31] <mrwes> hello
[20:31] <nonix4> samuraicrow: been a couple years since I've had to deal w/ such issues... but "find /etc/initramfs-tools/" and "man update-initramfs" should get you started :)
[20:31] <n8tuser> !ics | poboy975linux
[20:31] <Mimi> nDuff,  Yeah, I thought so ^^; so I went to WicD and hit "Create Ad-Hoc". It had an IP number in there, I gave it the name XMAS,  and I didnt want security so I clicked ok.... Then it says 'Connected to XMAS at 0%" on *MY* laptop  LOL
[20:31] <poboy975linux> Rivitingone, Itll will get you a lot of codecs and general tweaks to start with
[20:31] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: i privated you, but I guess you didn't get the messages
[20:31] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: i am in two different roooms so it takes a while to do what you tell me to
[20:31] <samuraicrow> nonix4:  Thanks for the help!
[20:31] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: darned xchat.. it's supposed to give me a baloon pop-up when i get pm'd
[20:32] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: hold on, i will try ur next command
[20:32] <poboy975linux> I have gone through the tutorils on both ics and tried firestarter and I can ping all comps on network, but oknly lapotop has internet. the other comps are not getting it...even though they can ping laptop as well
[20:32] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: but, just keep chat in here anyway
[20:32] <Slart> RivitingOne: if you tell us what kind of functionality you want perhaps we can give you some hints etc.. but it's really very personal.. not everyone wants their computer setup the same.. and if you compare a installed ubuntu system to a installed windows system you have way more stuff available on the ubuntu system... windows is pretty empty when nothing else is installed
[20:33] <eseven73> onetinsoldier: do you have libnotify? I think that is required in order for xchat to do popup messages
[20:33] <Slart> poboy975linux: have you enable ip routing?
[20:33] <manja> where do I get drivers for a creative webcam?
[20:33] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - what exactly have you done? anything with iptables?
[20:33] <WebcamWonder> !repeat | manja
[20:33] <poboy975linux> I did edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and put in ip4 forward
[20:33] <GillyGilly2> Hi, can someone help, have a 64bit processor but when i try to install 64bit ubuntu 7.10 using virtual pc (again, the 64bit version), i get a message telling me that my "cpu does not support long mode. use a 32bit distribution." Is there no way to fix this?
[20:34] <onetinsoldier> eseven73: it was working just yesterday. i don't know why it's not giving me a balloon pop-up today. itmade me check my settings... it's still set
[20:34] <poboy975linux> yeah there were two different instructions on iptables
[20:34] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - be more specific, exactly what you did?
[20:34] <nonix4> samuraicrow: and better yet, "man initramfs-tools" has a pretty thorough description of the boot time scripts
[20:34] <n8tuser> !who | poboy975linux
[20:34] <eseven73> onetinsoldier: ah ok
[20:34] <nDuff> manja, good question; depending on the model, it may be bundled with the kernel, or it may just not be available; since you aren't telling us the model of your webcam, we can't help you more than that.
[20:34] <SudoKing> Hi, my sound card is enabled, using Xine, and everything seems ok, but the sound isn't working.  It seems to do this after some period of time of inactivity.  Any ideas? :?
[20:35] <onetinsoldier> eseven73: almost makes me wonder is turning off the gnome-screensaver and enabling the xscreensaver daemon has anything to do with it
[20:35] <poboy975linux> Slart: net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1 I added these two lines to sysctl.conf
[20:35] <mars___> hi
[20:35] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: i can't find the file
[20:35] <eseven73> onetinsoldier: or any other app that might use libnotify
[20:35] <gmathews> Hey - how can i get a weather screenlet that displays the weather in South Africa?
[20:35] <samuraicrow> nonix4:  Thanks again!  Now I'll have some place to look when I go over there after New Year's.
[20:35] <RivitingOne> Slart: Well, when I first installed I had to go around in circles trying to get a video playback. I finally managed to get sound for games but it still goes away when I have another program open like firefox. At the moment I have crapy dvd playback but atleast I've managed to get my games working fairly well. All I really do on this system is game and watch movies and surf the web but I can't seem to do any 2 of those things at once.
[20:35] <mars___> is there a way to use two monitors with different resolutions?
[20:35] <manja> nDuff, it's a Live! Cam Video IM (VF0220)
[20:36] <Mimi> Ohhhhhhhh......  do I need TWO wireless cards on MY laptop to share wireless..... ?  :(
[20:36] <nonix4> GillyGilly2: sounds like that particular version of virtualpc doesn't support 64-bit guests
[20:36] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: what happened when you did the command? did you use sudo?   sudo Xorg -configure    ...capital X might be required there
[20:36] <mars___> i currently use grandr and somehow i cannot get my second monitor to work properly.
[20:36] <poboy975linux> Slart: sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE  I ran these commands
[20:36] <kim0> Hi .. how "small" can I install from the normal 8.10 dvd ? can it go ~ 200MB ?
[20:36] <manja> nDuff, I already tried it in skype (the test in the options) and it shows only garbled green bars, so I guess it's not bundled in the kernel
[20:36] <gmathews> Hi - how can I get a mini window of video (like a screenlet) on my desktop?
[20:36] <nDuff> manja, a quick bit of googling found http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html
[20:37] <RivitingOne> slart: and why has ubuntu not managed to master the ancient art of .gif. If I wanted to see the first frame of an image I'd use a .jpg
[20:37] <sinbox> anyone here built fluxbox 1.1.1 0j 8.04? I get some errors on ./configure
[20:37] <nonix4> GillyGilly2: kvm has no problems w/ 64-bit cpus... well, have tried only w/ cpu virtualization support, which most 64-bit cpus do have.
[20:37] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: sudo Xorg -configure .....should give you some sort of a response
[20:37] <manja> nDuff, what did you google for?
[20:37] <Slart> RivitingOne: I think because some of the ancient masters decided to sue everyone doing anything with gif..
[20:37] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - which name is for your wifi? eth0 or eth1 ?
[20:37] <nDuff> manja, "Creative Live webcam Linux"
[20:37] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: wifi is wlan1
[20:38] <Slart> RivitingOne: are you using plain alsa or pulseaudio for sound?
[20:38] <nDuff> manja, first hit with those terms.
[20:38] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - then look at your rules, you were using eth0 and eth1  and not wlan0 .. make sense?
[20:38] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: eth0 is ethernet cable to hub
[20:38] <manja> nDuff, thank you
[20:38] <nicklas__> im out, bye
[20:38] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - then look at your rules, you were using eth0 and eth1  and not wlan1 .. make sense?
[20:38] <Slart> popori: what do you get if you run "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[20:39] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: oh ok now i can see the file
[20:39] <mrwes> balanar391: or you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:39] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: sorry here is command copied out of the terminal :  sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan1 -o eth0 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
[20:39] <Jeaton> what do you use to unzip rar files?
[20:39] <RivitingOne> slart: I'll assume pulseaudio because that's the applet I have on my toolbar. I've tried configuring it but given that there are a billion different guides that say twice as many things I have no idea if anything is setup correctly.
[20:39] <eseven73> !rar
[20:39] <jdolan> hi, i have a fresh Intrepid install, and audacity refuses to output any audio.  all other apps playback just fine.
[20:39] <poboy975linux> the first was from the instruction page
[20:39] <nonix4> GillyGilly2: any particular reason for using virtualpc/vmware/whatever-non-stock-vm as opposed to "sudo aptitude install kvm libvirt-bin virt-manager"
[20:39] <ssdt> i am trying to install ubuntu but with the live cd, i reboot my system and no boot screen comes up, i goes stright to the windows
[20:40] <ssdt> how do i make it go to ubuntu?
[20:40] <Slart> RivitingOne: if you open the settings dialon in system, preferences, sound. does it say mostly "ALSA" or mostly "PULSEAUDIO"
[20:40] <RivitingOne> ssdt: You might need to change your boot order in the bios settings
[20:40] <nonix4> ssdt: bios setup, enable booting from cd
[20:40] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: great!  now --> cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old && cp -v /path_to_file/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:40] <ssdt> nonix4, where is the bios setup?
[20:40] <GillyGilly2> nonix4, thank you for the responses
[20:41] <nonix4> ssdt: bios setup is usually accessed by one of the top row keys, like esc, f1, f2, etc, when booting
[20:41] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - what is your default Policy for the iptables?
[20:41] <ssdt> thanks nonix4 i will try
[20:41] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: last step is..   sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[20:41] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: that I dont know. where can i find out?
[20:42] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - sudo iptables -n -vL
[20:42] <Lexvegas> Im thinking of getting a dell mini 12, but i want to get XP on it, so I can dual boot. Does anyone know if the wireless card it comes with is compatible with Ubuntu?
[20:42] <RivitingOne> slart: Sound events and music and movies is set to autodetect, audio conferencing is all set to pulseaudio
[20:42] <poboy975linux> ok, it printed a bunch of stuff, too much to paste in here
[20:43] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: you still around?
[20:43] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: Yes
[20:43] <RivitingOne> default mixer tracks is HDA ATI SD (Alsa mixer)
[20:43] <Slart> RivitingOne: ok.. and you can't play sounds in firefox and listen to some music at the same time, right?
[20:43] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: im so happy whats the command to pm you?
[20:43] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: ok done
[20:44] <RivitingOne> Slart: Correct
[20:44] <hak5fan> I can pm you
[20:44] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: ok here is a pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/96256/
[20:44] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: the screen still fails to show
[20:44] <Slart> RivitingOne: try running this, "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol"
[20:44] <ssdt> nonix4 it did not work
[20:45] <Slart> RivitingOne: and after it's done you run "pavucontrol&" in a terminal
[20:45] <ssdt> i need to know where i can see the os screen where windows and ubuntu can be seen
[20:45] <Slart> RivitingOne: it's probably already installed
[20:45] <gmathews> is playing: korea by Deftones on White Pony (Ltd. Ed.)
[20:45] <nonix4> ssdt: which machine is it?
[20:45] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: hmmm , strange. are you sure you copied the new file into place?
[20:45] <andresmh> can I move my user's home directory (/home/andresmh) to a different partition and simply change the /etc/passwd entry for it?
[20:45] <Gnea> !ot | gmathews
[20:45] <ssdt> dell
[20:45] <gmathews> I was waiting for that Gnea :P.
[20:46] <gmathews> Okay - so no one knows how to get a mini window to play video?
[20:46] <Gnea> gmathews: your trollness will be noted.
[20:46] <The_PHP_Jedi> onetinsoldier, if you want to give it a closer look, here's the output of dmesg, lspci -v, and lspci -n: http://slexy.org/view/s2FCKfgyXW http://slexy.org/view/s2Cfp9Jdcu http://slexy.org/view/s2GJslMiqt
[20:46] <AKangB> Hi!
[20:46] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: you might try giving it a reboot. what kind of monitor is this?
[20:46] <The_PHP_Jedi> I'm going to post it in the forums in a bit if I don't find anything (which I haven't, so far)
[20:46] <gmathews> trollness ;/
[20:46] <nonix4> hmm... don't have one here, but at least gx1's might have had f10 there... bios setup is very early in the boot process
[20:46] <The-Compiler> A mate of me has a problem: He changed the resolution in Gnome, now it's too high. KDE works, though. How to change it again? There is no resolution in the xorg.conf so it must be stored somewhere else.
[20:46] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: yep.. i see it
[20:47]  * Gnea wonders if there's anyone around right now that knows FreeNX and VNC... I've got FreeNX setup, but it won't make a VNC connection and http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu/web/installing-freenx-on-ubuntu-8-04-hardy doesn't quite make it
[20:47] <AKangB> Well, Sorry if I Have a bad English but my bootsplash returns me a "Out of Range".... Then linux boot but I cannot see "the progress bar". Any Idea?
[20:47] <nonix4> ssdt: which dell? http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm
[20:47] <RivitingOne> Slart: Ok so apparently terminal won't work now. I click terminal and a tab comes up that says starting terminal then after about 20 sec it goes away and nothing happens
[20:48] <manja> how do I find out my kernel version?
[20:48] <Gnea> gmathews: 'mini window'?
[20:48] <Gnea> manja: cat /proc/version
[20:48] <Flannel> manja: uname -a
[20:48] <onetinsoldier> manja: uname -r   in a terminal
[20:48] <Ben1> damnit minimal install just ran out of hdd space :(
[20:48] <primesuspeckt> anyone know how to change the fonts in wine..mines is looking garbled and i can't understand anything...
[20:49] <Slart> RivitingOne: hmm.. that can't be a good sign..
[20:49] <gmathews> Gnea, yea like a sort of screenlet...with your video playing
[20:49] <gmathews> Gnea, like Media player does
[20:49] <Flannel> Ben1: You told it to install the server/command line install? or the regular desktop?
