[20:19] <radovich> how do i make my kubuntu be ubuntu? install ubuntu-desktop from repo, then how do i change the startup screen to say ubuntu and not kubuntu?
[20:19] <_Zeus_> radovich: install gdm

[20:20] <orgthingy> hi
[20:21] <thiebaude> i don't know, black_feather
[20:21] <orgthingy> i wanna transfer bookmarks from one ubuntu to another ubuntu machine
[20:21] <orgthingy> of firefox
[20:21] <carthik> My Ubuntu 8.04 desktop crashed - it got stuck and would not respond, and I could not ssh in. I want to find out what caused this, how do I find out?
[20:21] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: as you have installed ubuntu at the first place, did the WLAN card work out of the box? if yes, it is very likely a hardware problem.
[20:21] <orgthingy> but i dont know where firefox bookmarks are stored
[20:21] <_Zeus_> orgthingy: try foxmarks
[20:21] <_Zeus_> plugin
[20:21] <black_feather> oh ok
[20:21] <ushills> orgthing. try gmarks in firefox and google bookmarks
[20:21] <black_feather> sorry to bother you guys
[20:21] <l337ingDisorder> anyone know how to make a custom install cd that omits certain packages?
[20:21] <LjjjL> orgthingy: firefox has an "export" function for its bookmark, look in the bookmarks manager
[20:21] <carthik> orgthingy, or you can export your bookmarks, copy them over and import them, but it gets painful if you have to do it everyday
[20:23] <Moes> !cupsys
[20:23] <ianliu_88> Have anyone experienced strange behaviors with the master sound control? It low the sound very much, so, when it is like 50% there is no sound at all
[20:23] <thiebaude> orgthingy:do you have a floppy drive?
[20:23] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix?
[20:23] <thiebaude> do
[20:23] <orgthingy> where's "export" ?
[20:23] <macvr> sqawarlz: seems ok for noob like me... simple~~~
[20:23] <orgthingy> i know can see import
[20:23] <orgthingy> thiebaude : i have an external USB hardisk though?
[20:24] <thiebaude> ok
[20:24] <ushills> orgthingy. seriously if you need to do this often try gmark plugin for firefox
[20:25] <LjjjL> orgthingy: i don't have firefox 3 in front of me (only 2, which has import/export in the file menu), but both should be in the toolbar of Bookmarks /Organize bookmarks
[20:25] <black_feather> am on an intel 945 chipset...the video is crappy...any workarounds or twaeks guys?????
[20:26] <black_feather> tweaks
[20:26] <macvr> orgthingy: just open organize bookmarks and select backup
[20:26] <macvr> "BACKUP"
[20:26] <radovich> black_feather: use intel instead of i810
[20:26] <node357> the problem with backing up bookmarks in FF3 is you can't import them afterwards
[20:27] <macvr> node357:  u can
[20:27] <radovich> black_feather: modify you xorg.cong to use intel driver instead of i810 driver
[20:27] <radovich> xorg.conf
[20:27] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix?
[20:27] <black_feather> can you be a lil more explanatory please radovich
[20:27] <radovich> black_feather: just a sec...
[20:27] <black_feather> ok
[20:29] <radovich> black_feather: /etc/x11/xorg.conf file needs to be edited
[20:29] <Azlx> ok i got a big issue
[20:29] <black_feather> ok...so what do i edit in that??
[20:29] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:30] <radovich> black_feather: Section Device has to have a value for driver. it is "i810". chage that value to "intel"
[20:30] <Azlx> ive been running windows duel booting with ubuntu, well i was messing with the partition, and it basically, made my windows not boot anymore, is there a way i can make ubuntu primary, or only os?
[20:30] <macvr> JesseL627: no spam
[20:30] <black_feather> ok radovich...thank you
[20:30] <KenBW22> Azlx: you mean so that Grub loads Ubuntu by default?
[20:30] <radovich> np
[20:30] <juliandevwgfnbvh> ok so i think that maybe my upgrade to ubuntu studio might have killed my wifi
[20:31] <Azlx> yeah
[20:31] <Azlx> like wehn my comp use to be only windows.
[20:31] <Azlx> it just started up.
[20:31] <Azlx> well now it wont boot either...
[20:31] <KenBW22> Azlx: Ubuntu wont boot?>
[20:31] <macvr> Azlx: just delete the win partition and expand ur present ubuntu  partition from ur LIVE CD
[20:31] <radovich> Azlx: yep. use gparted to erase windows partition. then edit grub menu list, just delete or comment out windows part
[20:32] <Azlx> thats the ntfs partition right?
[20:32] <macvr> Azlx:  s
[20:32] <radovich> riiiight
[20:32] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix?
[20:32] <KenBW22> Azlx: paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:32] <juliandevwgfnbvh> wmaster0 what the heck is this
[20:32] <KenBW22> Azlx: to a pastebin
[20:32] <msikma_> Hi there

[20:32] <aldipc> hi!
[20:32] <radovich> ola
[20:32] <macvr> KenBW22: i think he just wants to get rid of XP
[20:33] <aldipc> I installed xbindkeys config, but I cannot find it in the startmenu.. how do I start it?
[20:33] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:33] <msikma_> I'm currently on the PPC Ubuntu 8.04 live CD but the screen cannot init.  Specifically, it says "bogl_init failed: EXPLODE".  Anyone know why?  I'm on a Titanium Powerbook 500 MHz.
[20:33] <tyberion> uhm, guys ive been using amarok so far for playbacking my mp3s but it crashes way to often, however I luv those global hotkey stuff there, is there anything comparable which I can use instead of amarok?
[20:33] <KenBW22> macvr: an excellent decision :)
[20:34] <macvr> :)
[20:34] <radovich> tyberion: rhytmbox
[20:34] <macvr> someone ban JesseL627 : looks like a spam bot?
[20:34] <Azlx> http://www.pastie.org/289624
[20:34] <tyberion> radovich: can I easily have global hotkeys assigned there or do I need a plugin for that?
[20:34] <kayos> can someone please help me with configuring mythtv?
[20:34] <msikma_> Is anyone able to help me or should I go to a PPC-specific channel?
[20:34] <radovich> tyberion: i am on kde now, i think there are options for assigning keys
[20:35] <SiDi> msikma_, what is it about ?
[20:35] <msikma_> SiDi: unable to initialize X while on a rather old Powerbook using the community port of 8.04 for PPC
[20:35] <radovich> please help with my firefox flash problem... it is a global flash problem, now just in firefox. same thing in opera and konqueror
[20:35] <msikma_> I just popped in the CD, so this is a 100% vanilla environment.
[20:35] <kayos> I used all the default settings (I think) but I don't know what to tell it in mythtv-setp
[20:35] <msikma_> I actually thought it had locked up until I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to find out it had logged in, except without X.
[20:36] <SiDi> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466328 msikma_ it seems to be the usplash
[20:36] <msikma_> SiDi: hm.. I don't know how to click links in text-mode irssi...
[20:36] <SiDi> msikma_, once you're logged in shell on a user account, what happens when you type "startx" ?
[20:36] <msikma_> I'll try this, just a sec
[20:37] <msikma_> hmm
[20:37] <msikma_> Lots of error messages.  It tried to enable the screen, but it says that none of the screens that were found are suitable
[20:37] <KenBW22> Azlx: it's booting Windows first?
[20:37] <SiDi> Well, your pc is decent enough to run a X server ?
[20:37] <SiDi> What GPU do you have ?
[20:38] <radovich> msikma_: run Xorg -configure (i think it can be done in linux, it is a freebsd command)
[20:38] <msikma_> SiDi: I'm not entirely sure. This is a Titanium Powerbook 500 MHz, but I'm pretty sure it should be able to do that comfortably
[20:38] <SiDi> Is it an ATI card?
[20:38] <SiDi> lspci | grep -i vga to check
[20:38] <SiDi> from google, it seems to come mostly with PPC / ATI
[20:38] <juliandevwgfnbvh> wmaster0 can anyone tell me what this interface it
[20:38] <macvr> Azlx: jus comment out the last few lines33-36... after u get rid of winDOZE
[20:38] <lucax> man, everytime i enable firestarter i cant see netbios connections, i mean all the network!! how do i set this up without turning the firewall off???
[20:38] <msikma_> It's an ATI card
[20:39] <msikma_> ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x
[20:39] <linduxed> why do some ppl dedicate a partition to the /boot directory
[20:39] <SiDi> oh dear, thats rather old :D
[20:39] <SiDi> i've got a rage pro on my Pentium II
[20:39] <radovich> msikma_: ati rage, right
[20:39] <msikma_> SiDi: yeah :)
[20:39] <msikma_> I hope something can be done
[20:40] <SiDi> msikma_, maybe you could try Xubuntu, it uses XFCE, should be lighter ^^ But i'm not sure an ATI Rage can run KDE/Gnome
[20:40] <msikma_> I used to run Ubuntu on a 400 MHz Toshiba
[20:40] <SiDi> What's your RAM by the way ?
[20:40] <SiDi> It's recommanded to have 64/128 MB for X.
[20:40] <radovich> msikma_: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:40] <radovich> run this
[20:40] <msikma_> A lot, either 512 MB or 768 MB
[20:40] <msikma_> radovich: I'll try this, thanks
[20:40] <lucax> k, can someone help me? i cant access to my other computer with samba while firestarter is on...
[20:40] <carthik> linduxed, old habits, I don't any more.
[20:40] <SiDi> Oh good. Then the weak point shall be the GPU.
[20:41] <radovich> lucax: open port 138 tcp, udp 139 i think
[20:41] <linduxed> carthik: i c
[20:42] <radovich> please help me with my flash problem
[20:42] <danbh_intrepid> !ask > radovich
[20:42] <msikma_> SiDi: when trying dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it asks me to give the video card's bus identifier.
[20:43] <msikma_> Is lspci's 0000:00:10.0 correct?
[20:43] <SiDi> msikma_, i have no idea
[20:43] <msikma_> because its example says PCI:0:16:0
[20:43] <lucax> k solve it... turned off firestarter...
[20:43] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix? it is aglobal flash problem. same in opera nad konqueror
[20:43] <Halabund> Hi!
[20:43] <SiDi> radovich, sec gonna get you a link
[20:43] <radovich> there :)
[20:43] <lucax> thats the only way, dont want to open ports,
[20:43] <lucax> how do i use a shared printer with samba?
[20:43] <radovich> Thanx !!!
[20:43] <danbh_intrepid> radovich: link?
[20:43] <drichert> randovich, does it happen every time or just when you have an audio app running?
[20:43] <SiDi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 radovich i managed to get decent flash with this page.
[20:44] <radovich> www.itsvet.com serbian page, for example...
[20:44] <nickelpat> Hello guys, is there a command I can use to check my system specs, RAM and what not?
[20:44] <Halabund> I just tried the Ubuntu 8.10 live CD.  As I click the little network icon in the upper right corner, I see an entry: Configure VPN. But in the window it brings up, all the buttons are disables (on the VPN tab).  Is this feature still unimplemented?
[20:45] <DasE1> nickelpat:hwinfo, lspci, lshw....
[20:45] <danbh_intrepid> !intrepid > Halabund
[20:45] <SiDi> radovich, i cant see it either to tell you the truth
[20:45] <drichert> randovich: I have the same problem when I'm running Exaile and load up a site with flash.  It's a pulseaudio thing I believe.  Haven't found the fix myself.
[20:45] <drichert> randovich: other than closing Exaile
[20:45] <SiDi> drichert, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 for pulseaudio + flash

[20:46] <danbh_intrepid> radovich: well, I can see the page, but it is allot of flash running.  It causes quite the cpu burn, though its not maxing out
[20:46] <SiDi> radovich, either they have too much flash for our poor flash plugins or their flash objects are not correctly written in their code
[20:46] <radovich> SiDi: you cant see what? no sound problem, just freezing graphic
[20:46] <macvr> !ubuntu

[20:46] <SiDi> radovich, i can't see the flash on their pages.
[20:46] <radovich> SiDi: oh
[20:46] <radovich> it work fine in windblow$ :(
[20:46] <SiDi> radovich, usually crashes with pages with several flash animations come from conflicts for sound card mastery.
[20:47] <lucax> how do i use a windows shared printer?
[20:47] <nickelpat> Cool, thanks Arquebus and DasE1
[20:47] <SiDi> radovich, flash will work better with time hopefully. all i can say is that people who make websites (as i myself made some) and who use tons of flash are dumbass. they lose 10% clients.
[20:47] <radovich> i thought it is like that... several flash animations make a lot of cpu go crazy...
[20:47] <radovich> SiDi: these guys do it for the money. those are all ads...
[20:47] <SiDi> no, it's more related to compatibility / conflicts.
[20:47] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:47] <SiDi> radovich, then maybe its why i dont see them, i have adblock :D

[20:51] <SiDi> macvr, try the #freenode channel admins if you feel like
[20:51] <Mimi> Telendrith,  I wonder if you know about http://wubi-installer.org ?  It lets you install Ubuntu as if it were a windows program.
[20:51] <eeenico> =)
[20:51] <danbh_intrepid> macvr: dont worry about it.  If it becomes a problem, ask in #ubuntu-ops
[20:52] <macvr> danbh_intrepid: SiDi  dont u guys see the BOT?
[20:52] <noriyuki> anders__,  I keep having the same problem even though I did what you said
[20:52] <vipaca> Sometimes I think this channel is so worthless.
[20:52] <vipaca> maybe there's to much noise.
[20:52] <msikma_> Er, anyone knwo where xorg.conf is?
[20:52] <SiDi> macvr, i do see it, but only #freenode admins may be on at the moment to take it out.

[20:53] <SiDi> macvr, use the /ignore command ;)
[20:53] <Telendrith> Mimi, thanks, i'll check it out
[20:53] <Mimi> tyberion,  whats the problem
[20:53] <SiDi> vipaca, i'm actually lookin at my vnc client options for your at the moment...
[20:53] <tyberion> Mimi: any clue how I can set global hotkeys in rhythmbox?
[20:54] <SiDi> vipaca, which vnc client are you using at the moment?
[20:54] <macvr> SiDi: /ignore and the user name?
[20:54] <dorian_> I just moved to Intrepid and there is something amazing
[20:54] <Mimi> Telendrith, make sure you read the faq on the website before you decide if its good for you :)
[20:54] <vipaca> the one that comes with Ubuntu
[20:54] <vipaca> Remote Desktop Viewer
[20:54] <natalisushka> Hi, is it possible to create a direct wireless connection between two ubuntu boxes?
[20:54] <vipaca> Vinagre is a VNC client for the GNOME Desktop
[20:54] <dorian_> the OpenGL bug with intel chipset seems to be solved !
[20:54] <Mimi> tyberion,  you mean like,  Next Song button on your mouse, or stuff like,  CTRL+Right Arrow (example)
[20:54] <tyberion> Mimi: exactly, cant find where to set those:*
[20:54] <tyberion> :(
[20:55] <Telendrith> Mimi, Heh, I will ^^
[20:55] <JewingGum> Is here spambot?
[20:55] <Bruno_______> hi
[20:56] <SiDi> vipaca, isn't it coming with server options "Lock screen when user logs out" ?
[20:56] <Mimi> tyberion,  you know that rhythmbox uses the keyboard shortcuts under Keyboard Shortcuts on your Ubuntu preferences?
[20:56] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:57] <Mimi> tyberion,  though to be honest, i just tried one and it didnt work >_< I'm sorries
[20:57] <orgthingy> :O
[20:57] <vipaca> SiDi: So this is the scenarion there is a server that is started by someone. Other clients have an option -share that does not kick the users that are viewing the server out before connect
[20:57] <tyberion> Mimi: okay :( ohwell I just want to be able to navigate songs over global hotkey stuff
[20:57] <tyberion> why does amarok have to crash all the time,gr
[20:57] <orgthingy> get a better pc
[20:57] <basy> how to scan FTP dir tree and store it into text file?
[20:57] <orgthingy> and get a better one that support linux fully
[20:57] <SiDi> vipaca, from the paquage description of vinagre it supports several connections.
[20:57] <orgthingy> with good drivers
[20:57] <dorian_> on Xubuntu Amarok works fine
[20:57] <juliandevwgfnbvh> has ubuntu studio broke anyones wifi
[20:58] <Bruno_______> Hello I would like to know how to find a free script for example to make this type of search: www.rio24h.com.br
[20:58] <Mimi> Bruno_______,  wrong place to ask
[20:58] <vipaca> This more or less means you can have several connection to many different servers
[20:58] <pasteeater> I believe I have a dying hard drive on my Windows partition.  What is a good utility to test it or to verify the SMART status?
[20:58] <vipaca> I want many to one server with out the kick
[20:59] <vipaca> what ends up happening is that whne I join a session in progress everyone gets kicked and has to rejoin with -share that doesn't kick me
[20:59] <vipaca> I want to be able to do the same
[20:59] <LjjjL> pasteeater: use the "smartmontools" package, "smartctl" command
[20:59] <leethal> hello there. Any suggestions for installation tactics if your CD-rom is borked and you don't have a USB stick?
[20:59] <DasE1>  pasteeater: smartmon-tools or testdisk, also e2fsck
[20:59] <pasteeater> DasE1: thanks
[20:59] <SiDi> What clients do they use ?
[21:00] <SiDi> the vinagre man says nothing about this
[21:00] <LjjjL> DasE1: despite the name, testdisk doesn't test disks
[21:00] <pasteeater> LjjjL: thanks as well
[21:00] <Azlx> im trying to remove windows and make my pc boot into ubuntu
[21:00] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: if you are running windows, there used to be a net installer that you could run right from windows
[21:01] <DasE1> LjjjL: yup, was hdparm, pasteeater
[21:01] <leethal> danbh_intrepid: sounds like something that could work, got any links?
[21:01] <leethal> nvm, I'll just f-in google it ; )
[21:02] <TheMusicGuy> hello, trying to share internet connection of my laptop with my palm treo 650. I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PalmBluetoothHowto and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332652 but it still isn't quite working.
[21:02] <jorge_> hello
[21:02] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: try sourceforge.net
[21:02] <danbh_intrepid> !netinstall | leethal
[21:03] <TheMusicGuy> according to Wireshark, DNS packets sent from my palm are getting to the DNS server, but the response packets from the DNS server aren't making it back to the palm.
[21:03] <TheMusicGuy> At least, that's what it looks like is happening.
[21:03] <leethal> thanks!
[21:03] <vipaca> Where can you find the command line for the icons in the applications menu?
[21:03] <jrib> vipaca: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu
[21:04] <vipaca> jrib: awesome
[21:04] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: maybe start here http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/  : )
[21:04] <TheMusicGuy> Packets from the DNS make it to my laptop, but then the laptop doesn't forward them to the palm like it should.
[21:04] <TheMusicGuy> I can ping the DNS from the palm just fine
[21:05] <leethal> danbh_intrepid: seen http://wubi-installer.org/ ?
[21:05] <leethal> looks sensible as well
[21:06] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: yes, that will install ubuntu inside windows
[21:06] <vipaca> vinagre --help-all
[21:06] <leethal> hm, no options for partitioning etc
[21:06] <vipaca> kinda helpful but not fully enlightening
[21:06] <leethal> I'll go with unetbootin I think
[21:06] <Codemaster|Mobil> for some reason, whenever i set a wallpaper, i only get the color background, not the actual image
[21:07] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: thats the point.  Its for just trying out ubuntu, if you arent sure about it.  It makes it easy to remove if you just want to return to windows (at least thats my understanding)
[21:07] <Codemaster|Mobil> ie - if the color background is set to black and i try to select an image, the background stays black instead of displaying the background image
[21:08] <vipaca> Im assuming that it uses some kinda standard .vnc file and information on this would be awesome
[21:08] <Sl4y3r> need some help mounting a second hard drive
[21:08] <leethal> danbh_intrepid: I see
[21:08]  * tbone-atl would love to find a hardy package for mongrel-cluster
[21:08] <Zach> Hey guys, anyone know how I can get my computer to see wireless networks with Hardy instead of me having to enter the networks name?
[21:08] <vipaca> my experience however is that this is a directory not a file
[21:09] <DasE1> Sl4y3r: go ahead, open a terminal, attach drive...
[21:09] <Sl4y3r> ive tried the sudo mount /dev/sdb command but it says its not listed in fstab
[21:09] <FarmCretin> hi, im using ubuntu server and would like to unmount my external HDD. its located at /dev/sdb
[21:09] <lwizardl> Hello
[21:09] <DasE1> Sl4y3r:  open a terminal ...
[21:10] <Sl4y3r> k
[21:10] <Oilfurnace> is ubuntu written in  C+++?
[21:10] <Sl4y3r> done
[21:10] <lwizardl> whats better to share printers printer hooked to Ubuntu and shared with windows or printer hooked to windows and shared with ubuntu?
[21:10] <jrib> Oilfurnace: ubuntu is a collection of many programs written in many many languages
[21:10] <DasE1> !who|Sl4y3r
[21:10] <DasE1> Sl4y3r:  sudo fdisk -l
[21:10] <Sl4y3r> sorry its done Dase1
[21:10] <Zach> How do I browse wifi connections, instead of entering ESSID everytime?
[21:11] <jrib> Oilfurnace: a lot of the ubuntu developers like to use python though
[21:11] <DasE1> Sl4y3r:  correct with /dev/sdb ?
[21:11] <Jordan_U> Zach: Do you see a network-manager applet at the top right of your screen?
[21:11] <Zach> Jordan, no just the Manual Network Configuration
[21:11] <Zach> I can't figure out how to enable that service
[21:12] <Zach> I'm very new
[21:12] <Jordan_U> Zach: Try running "nm-applet" in a terminal
[21:12] <Codemaster|Mobil> so no one has any ideas on this missing wallpaper issue?

[21:13] <asarch> !atheros
[21:13] <Zach> Jordan a blank prompt actually
[21:13] <eeenico> can I resize an ubuntu root partition from a live cd?
[21:14] <deathtech> Hey Guys, still getting quite a bit of heat despite the suggestions to disable compiz effects. I am running on a Dell XPS M1730 With Dual 8700 M GT's, Temp in Vista With Dig Vibrance , Dreamscene with HD vid playing, object bar and all aero effects is around 61 - 64, Nix is about 10 degrees more (71-74) . I have installed the latest 177.80 Driver and still the temp is all around much hotter, please help, as this is a deal breaker for nix on my laptop
[21:14] <deathtech>  (although my server will stay the same :) )
[21:14] <Jordan_U> eeenico: Yes, use gparted
[21:14] <eeenico> gparted doesn't seem to be working
[21:14] <^Cheeky> iam trying to use icecream and i used this command to play and save the file into tracks using this program but vlc opened and i got an error Unrecognized format for 'file:/dev/stdin' could any one give me hand ?
[21:14] <ilembitov> Hi, does anybody knows, will OpenOffice 3 make its way to Ubuntu 8.10?
[21:15] <vipaca> So I take it know one knows howto do this
[21:15] <Jordan_U> deathtech: Does CPU usage seem to be high? If so what processes are using the most CPU?
[21:15] <Jordan_U> vipaca: What are you trying to do?
[21:15] <natalisushka> how can I create a direct wireless connection between two ubuntu boxes?
[21:16] <deathtech> jordan_U : I didnt notice a lot of cpu usage, its seems to be pretty good, but to be honest i didnt really monitor it as much as it was the GPU Chips that appear to be getting hot (CPU temp is fine)
[21:16] <natalisushka> how can I create a direct wireless connection between two ubuntu laptops?
[21:16] <Jordan_U> deathtech: Does your card have a low power mode?
[21:16] <IntuitiveNipple> natalisushka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[21:16] <Zach> Jordan_U: nw-applet just says "bash: nw-applet: command not found"
[21:17] <deathtech> jordan_U : Yes sir, there is 3 modes available, Low Power 2d, Low power 3d, and 3d PErformance. Mind you , this is a SLi Setup with dual 8700 M GT's (Mobile)
[21:17] <Grrr> Hello i have a problem with apt-get, i installed a server for the second time but for some reason this time when ever i try apt-get i get a "E: Couldn't find package" error
[21:17] <Jordan_U> Zach: nm-applet , not nWapplet ( stands for network-manager )
[21:17] <Grrr> anyone can help?
[21:17] <jrib> Grrr: what command are you running?
[21:17] <Grrr> sudo apt-get install gcc
[21:17] <Grrr> for example
[21:17] <Grrr> as i dont have gcc
[21:18] <Zach> Oh, now i jsut have two Manual Network Configurations
[21:18] <jrib> Grrr: run 'sudo apt-get update'.  Then try again.  If it still fails, pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:18] <deathtech> it is using 3d perf mode, but windows does the same mode ( GPU @ 625 Mhz, Mem @ 799, Shader Procs @ 1250)
[21:18] <Jordan_U> deathtech: I don't have an nvidia card but there is probably a way to change the mode, have you tried doing this?
[21:18] <jrib> !who | Grrr
[21:18] <jrib> Grrr: you should install build-essential instead of just gcc by the way
[21:19] <Jordan_U> Zach: What do you mean "two manual network configurations" ?
[21:19] <Grrr> jrib : ok thanks i will do that its called ' build-essential' ?
[21:19] <deathtech> Jordan_U : i can do that jordan, for the sake of using it, but that is what bothers me, Windows is using the same exact settings, and getting more than 10 Degrees less temp than nix
[21:19] <jrib> Grrr: yeah
[21:19] <deathtech> Jordan_U : At least i can search around for how to do it :)
[21:19] <Zach> Jordan_U Two icons for the Manual Network Configurations
[21:19] <msikma_> Anybody here who runs Ubuntu on a Titanium Powerbook?
[21:19] <Grrr> jrib : ok after i used the update it seems to work, thanks!
[21:19] <Zach> :-(
[21:19] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: How are you measuring the temperature? Is it possible the program reporting the value isn't accurate?
[21:20] <DCPom> !anyone | msikma_
[21:20] <slayton> UBUNTU!
[21:20] <gausie> When i log in to Hardy, for some thousands of "xmodmap" processes are run (i think each one spawns the next one).. I can get rid of it with killall sending the signal CHLD, but I want to know how to fix the problem permenantly - and ideas?
[21:20] <DasE1> !ubuntu
[21:21] <msikma_> Frustrating... my X server still cannot start, even though I know which card I have (ATI Technologies Inc. Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02))...
[21:21] <slayton> UBUNTU!
[21:21] <tsrk> If I run ubuntu with virtualbox installed w/ a windows xp guest, can I sync my ipod with itunes on the guest?
[21:21] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : it appears Linux is reporting incorrect values, as i can literally feel more heat in the OS after using it for about 5 mins. What ive done is rebooted to windows, ran Nvidia System tools, and the temp begins going down and the laptop is physically much cooler, byt the time i reboot (vista ultimate boots in about 25 secs for me) temp guage shows around 71
[21:21] <msikma_> I tried a bunch of things but it just won't work.  It says it can't enable the fb, it doesn't find any screens...
[21:21] <Zach> Jordan_U Yesterday I accidentally got my internet driver to work, I have no idea if I did something to that or not, but for me, the network manager only lets me type what network I want to connect to
[21:21] <Grrr> how can i search for a package using apt?
[21:21] <Jordan_U> Zach: That icon should not be showing "manual network configurations", it should be showing a list of available networks to connect to. Go to System -> Administration -> Networking and make sure that your wireless interface is set to "roaming mode"
[21:21] <DasE1> msikma_:try to copy back an xorg.conf backup
[21:21] <jrib> !apt > Grrr
[21:21] <slayton> tsrk, if you can get USB working in windows then you should
[21:21] <jrib> tsrk: it should work, but you would need the closed source version of virtualbox from their site to get usb to work
[21:22] <ushills> grrr. suod ap-cahe search xxxx
[21:22] <tsrk> jrib, is that available as a debian package?
[21:22] <ushills> grrr. sudo apt-cache search xxxx
[21:22] <jrib> Grrr, ushills: don't need sudo to search
[21:22] <jrib> tsrk: yep, it's a .deb on virtualbox.org
[21:22] <msikma_> DasE1: this is the first boot from the installation CD.
[21:22] <Jordan_U> tsrk: There are ways to sync ipods natively in linux, what ipod version do you have?
[21:22] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : I can check temps in nix and they say 64 degrees, but the laptop is physically much warmer, reboot and pull up the temp monitor in windows , and it shows 71 degrees (allowing 25-30 secs for reboot i estiamte it hitting around 74)
[21:22] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: It sounds as if it isn't being doing 'wait' states when idle.
[21:22] <msikma_> I'm in text mode right now because the installer can't even activate X
[21:23] <tsrk> Jordan_U, ipod touch 2g, so it needs to backup as well
[21:23] <msikma_> As in, first time, without having tampered with xorg
[21:23] <tsrk> pretty sure i can't on ubuntu
[21:23] <DasE1> msikma_:did you check cd for defects ?
[21:23] <DasE1> did*
[21:23] <tsrk> jrib, ok I found it, thanks
[21:23] <tsrk> why isn't it open source though?
[21:23] <tsrk> when the rest is?
[21:23] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : Interesting. Is tehre anyway to force this mode ? im using the latest 177.80 Driver straight from nvidia
[21:24] <msikma_> DasE1: I very sincerely doubt it's a CD fault.  I just made this from the ISO.
[21:24] <DasE1> msikma_: hardy ? which ATI-card ?
[21:24] <lashi> hi everyone!
[21:24] <tsrk> msikma_, cd burning tends to have problems
[21:24] <msikma_> ATI Technologies Inc. Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)
[21:24] <msikma_> Using 8.04
[21:25] <lashi> Just wondering - anyone got an idea how to change my keyboard so I can type Umlauts etc? I don't want to change language
[21:25] <jokkaa> Im trying to burn an audio cd with brasero.. but when im adding songs to the list it says "Make sure the appropriate codec is installed." and the song wont add.. how can i instrall the proper codecs?
[21:25] <DasE1> msikma_: use the cds option to check disc
[21:25] <lashi> I googled it, and it told me to seelect English + Internation in System -> Preference -> Keyboad
[21:25] <lashi> but I don't see the option
[21:25] <lashi> :S
[21:25] <msikma_> DasE1: how would I do this in the text mode console?
[21:26] <ushills> jokkaa. ther is a whole section on the ubuntu wiki about restricted formats
[21:26] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : Be Nice if maybe i could control the fans or something to have them come on more or faster, or if the wait mode your talking about can be initiated
[21:26] <deathtech> Anyone Else runninng nix on a Dell XPS M1730 with Dual 8700 M GT's ?
[21:27] <lashi> msikma_, mind running yor problem by me msikma? I might be able to help
[21:27] <msikma_> lashi: hi there!  My problem is related to the fact I'm trying to run 8.04 using a Titanium Powerbook
[21:27] <lashi> yeap
[21:27] <msikma_> ATI Technologies Inc. Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) is the video card--X won't start
[21:27] <lashi> and?
[21:27] <Jordan_U> vipaca:  What are you trying to do?
[21:27] <lashi> 1 sec, let me check msikma
[21:27] <msikma_> This is a fresh boot from the install CD
[21:27] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: I know this is probably not the most helpful suggestion, since it seems to be OK with Windows, but have you checked for an updated system BIOS? The reason I ask is this: http://laptoping.com/alienware-area-51-m15x-beta-bios-update.html
[21:27] <ushills> jokkaa: you can find it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[21:28] <msikma_> I tried setting my xorg.conf to have an "ati" driver, tried manually setting the correct horiz/vert settings
[21:28] <Simetrical> If I can't boot my machine on newer kernels, would it be safe to upgrade to Intrepid (when that comes out) but use an old Hardy alpha kernel?
[21:28] <deathtech> intuitivenipple:  yeah i watch all driver updates almost daily. i have the most recent version for my laptop (A09 from Dell)
[21:28] <Simetrical> Or would stuff break?
[21:28] <lashi> msikma_, is this from the live CD it won't start?
[21:28] <Simetrical> I'm hoping I can boot it on Intrepid kernels, but I can't boot it on up-to-date Hardy kernels, so . . .
[21:28] <mordof> k i'm on windows xp at the moment, and i'm using Putty to ssh into my server. i can't find anything about using screen, i don't know much about it. anyone able to help me out / point me in the right direction?
[21:28] <Jordan_U> msikma_: Did you try vesa or choosing "safe graphics mode" at boot
[21:28] <msikma_> lashi: I believe this is the live CD, yes.  I just inserted it and booted, and didn't see anything for a while.  I thought it had locked up until I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to see tty1, whcih was working fine.\
[21:29] <lashi> ok
[21:29] <lashi> msikma, when booting the live cd
[21:29] <msikma_> Jordan_U: when I tried vesa, it said that the vesa module is not available
[21:29] <Aeosynth> Hi, I messed up something and now I can't see 'Applications' from the Gnome main menu, a folder on my panel which resided in the 'Applications' menu is empty, and I can't edit menus. I'm in Gnome failsafe mode and I still can't edit menus.
[21:29] <niche> What do I type to find out how many ordinary files, directories, and link files exist in my /usr/bin directory?
[21:29] <lashi> let me just get the livecd going on my Virtualbox - give me one second msikma, so I can give you exact instructions
[21:29] <jokkaa> ushills, googled it.. kinda easy solve ^^ thx anyway
[21:29] <guntbert> mordof: do you know what screen is for?
[21:29] <msikma_> lashi: thanks :)
[21:29] <lashi> no worries
[21:29] <venger> how can I export some functions for global use by the gnome session when it appears that the login process uses /bin/dash and ignores such functionality.  I tried ~/.gnomerc and got exported variables to work but not functions
[21:30] <Jordan_U> Simetrical: File a bug report against intrepid, the sooner you file it the more likely the problem will be fixed before intrepid is released, but please discuss intrepid in #ubuntu+1
[21:30] <Simetrical> niche, ls /usr/bin | wc -l?
[21:30] <Aeosynth> Does anyone know what I can do to fix my setup?
[21:30] <mordof> guntbert: it's to attatch/detatch a session so that things running don't stop when the session is closed isn't it?
[21:30] <mordof> guntbert: i thought once i closed my putty ssh session, it would shut off anything i was running - but i don't want that
[21:31] <lashi> msikma_, press F6 for other options
[21:31] <Simetrical> Jordan_U, I don't know if it works in Intrepid, that's the point.  I want to know whether, in general, I should upgrade even though it might mean I would have to use an old kernel with a new userspace for some reason.  Will that break or not?
[21:31] <lashi> that should drop you to an editable line
[21:31] <hydrozen> i have a mounted external harddrive but somehow it is not shown when I do "df -h"....  how else can I know how much free space there is on that thing?
[21:31] <DasE1> msikma_: use the cds option to check disc, its earlier an option at boot up >install ubuntu, check cd for defects
[21:31] <msikma_> lashi: when I start the liveCD I actually only get the ability to type "live" or just press enter--maybe I've got the alternative CD?
[21:31] <Jordan_U> venger: What are you trying to accomplish by exporting the functions? Why can't you add them to your .bashrc ?
[21:31] <lashi> maybe you haev msikma
[21:31] <niche> Simetrical, thanks, I heard I also need a grep command, do you know if that's true?
[21:31] <lashi> and that might be the issue
[21:31] <msikma_> hmmm
[21:31] <Simetrical> If it might break, I should try out the Intrepid kernel before I do the actual distribution upgrade.
[21:31] <guntbert> mordof: the main purpose (as I see) is to provide you with several screens, another one is that it keeps sessions "open", did you look at 'man screen'?
[21:31] <lashi> basically, this card shoud work fine
[21:32] <venger> Jordan_U, to my knowledge bashrc is per terminal session not parent to the enitre gnome-session
[21:32] <lashi> you should get a graphical greeter
[21:32] <msikma_> That is strange
[21:32] <lashi> and you should be able to press F6
[21:32] <matteo_> list screenlets
[21:32] <Jordan_U> Simetrical: Test out the intrepid beta, if it doesn't work file a bug report.
[21:32] <Simetrical> niche, if you actually want to exclude device files and sockets and stuff, then yeah, you need grep or find or something.  If you just want to include all files, then what I said will work.
[21:32] <mordof> guntbert: i don't know if screen should be on the client or server..
[21:32] <DasE1> msikma_: what says a uname -r in terminal ?
[21:32] <msikma_> No, I did not get a graphical greeter, but I figured that my video card was the issue there too
[21:32] <lashi> and if you do get there, delete from "quiet" all the way tto "--"
[21:32] <mordof> guntbert: i can't install things through putty, so i wasn't sure if i should grab cygwin or something
[21:32] <genii> Simetrical: You're asking a hypothetical question about a beta release and how it relates to your specific computer specs. This makes it quite difficult to answer.
[21:32] <lashi> basically to avoid the the splash screen from booting up
[21:32] <msikma_> 2.6.24-19-powerpc
[21:33] <guntbert> mordof: ok, you are in a ssh-session on your server?
[21:33] <Jordan_U> venger: But why do you want the entire gnome-session to have in it's environment functions which will only be usable in bash?
[21:33] <msikma_> to DasE1
[21:33] <Simetrical> Jordan_U, hmm, I guess if there's a kernel problem I would figure out by booting from a LiveCD.  I just hate rebooting, is the problem.   Help?
[21:33] <DasE1> msikma_: powerpc ? neither desktop nor server ? very strange
[21:33] <eeenico> thank you
[21:33] <guntbert> mordof: you have to start screen before that app
[21:34] <mordof> guntbert: so i need cygwin
[21:34] <DCPom> msikma_, are you trying to install hardy on a powerpc? I didn't think you could
[21:34] <chupy> hi, i had compiz fusion well but i unninstall it to install the git version but not serve, nothing... i reinstall the old version and neither works what can it be how can i make git compiz work?
[21:34] <Simetrical> genii, I was expecting an answer of either "it will work, all userspace binaries are compiled so they'll work with older kernels"; or "it won't work, userspace binaries will use new system calls"; or "dunno, depends".  Seems to be the latter, so I'll just be on the safe side.
[21:34] <guntbert> mordof: is it an X app?
[21:34] <lashi> why not DCPom ?
[21:34] <msikma_> lashi: the normal option doesn't work--it freezes.  It tells me a slightly different boot command, so I use it.  Which starts the CD and allows me to log into text mode like now.
[21:34] <mordof> guntbert: nope, my server doesn't have X
[21:34] <DCPom> msikma_, you have to use dapper
[21:34] <DCPom> lashi, powerpc's don't have intel support...
[21:35] <msikma_> DCPom: this is the "official unofficial" version I believe.  The community port of 8.04 for PPC, yet it's still on Ubuntu's servers
[21:35] <msikma_> Which version is dapper?
[21:35] <DCPom> msikma_, link?
[21:35] <lashi> DCPom, I know, I used to own an Ibook, but I ran debian on that
[21:35] <msikma_> 7.10?
[21:35] <guntbert> mordof: so you don't need cygwin. please start a new ssh session on your server
[21:35] <noodlesgc> msikma_ 6.06 i believe
[21:35] <chupy>  i had compiz fusion well but i unninstall it to install the git version but not serve, nothing... i reinstall the old version and neither works what can it be how can i make git compiz work?
[21:35] <DasE1>  gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel  ,Aeosynth
[21:35] <mordof> guntbert: ok, got one open atm
[21:35] <n3hima> can somebody tell me why postfix is dropping connections on non-loopback interfaces?
[21:35] <msikma_> Alright, well
[21:35] <deathtech> intuitivenipple: Can you recommend a good Temperature monitor for use in ubuntu for my system (graphics cards included hopefully)
[21:35] <lashi> But one second
[21:35] <lashi> DCPom, her kernel is booting, she's getting tty1
[21:35] <msikma_> I think I should just get the latest official PPC version
[21:35] <venger> Jordan_U, if they were available to a bash script in any given launcher without any redundant code then i would achieve my objective but it seems here really that dash will prevent this anyway
[21:36] <guntbert> mordof: now type 'screen'
[21:36] <Pici> chupy: You'd be better off asking for help in #compiz-fusion than here.
[21:36] <lashi> so, that means that whatever they've got (Hardy I think) is booting
[21:36] <VincentBL> Hey everyone, I'm on the Ubuntu Live CD at the moment. For some reason, neither the Installer nor GParted can detect my partitions, but Nautilus shows them all correctly and so does fdisk -l. The partitionning tools just show an empty disk. Any clue on how to fix that?
[21:36] <chupy> ok jajajaj thanks
[21:36] <msikma_> lashi: yes indeed, it does work.  That's how I'm talking to you right now :)
[21:36] <lashi> so, it's not powerpcl issue
[21:36] <lashi> :D
[21:36] <mordof> guntbert: not installed, i should install it on my server?
[21:36] <lashi> exactly, so this isn't an architecture problem
[21:36] <DasE1> deathtech:conky and gkrellm might be the apps you're looking for
[21:36] <DCPom> msikma_, where did you get the hardy for ppc? i have an ibook that is running OS X.4 now
[21:37] <deathtech> kk, brb booting into nix to try it
[21:37] <msikma_> DCPom: just a second, I'll walk over to my other computer and see where I downloaded it from
[21:37] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: The nvidia-settings one I'd think would be the one to trust. I've been doing some Googling... not found anything specific as yet, but this thread offers some 'hints' when the contributors talk about power-mizer and multiple GPUs: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=109514
[21:37] <lashi> msikma_, it's weird that this is happening - you've got to try and figure out what cd you've got
[21:37] <guntbert> mordof: yes you need it on your server, but I'm surprised, I thought its installed nearly everywhere
[21:37] <lashi> Maybe!
[21:37] <Jordan_U> venger: Launchers do not invoke a shell, they execute commands directly. They would not be able to use a bash function unless you called bash explicitly, in which case a .bashrc would suffice
[21:37] <lashi> youc an type live vga=1
[21:37] <lashi> that might pass vga=1 as a kernel option...
[21:37] <Dada_> DCPom: this is msikma_, and I got the image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso
[21:37] <deathtech> intuitivenipple: i really appreciate your help, im rebooting now into nix and will brb
[21:37] <mordof> guntbert: i installed ubuntu server install, with the bare minimum. only the apps i need and the minimal core of ubuntu is installed
[21:38] <Dada_> DCPom: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/
[21:38] <guntbert> mordof: ok, so install screen please
[21:38] <mordof> guntbert: installed
[21:38] <lashi> Dada, try booting it with that option, see what happens
[21:38] <Dada_> This is the live CD for PPC of Ubuntu 8.04
[21:38] <VincentBL> No clue on why the Ubuntu Live CD partitionning tools can't see my partitions, anyone?
[21:38] <Dada_> lashi: with which option?
[21:38] <guntbert> mordof: now type 'screen'
[21:38] <Dada_> oh
[21:38] <DCPom> Dada_, that's weird, it wasn't there the last time I tried to install
[21:38] <Dada_> vga=1
[21:38] <lashi> Dada_,: live vga=1
[21:38] <lashi> try that?
[21:38] <lashi> :S
[21:38] <Dada_> DCPom: I believe it's not officially sanctioned by Canonical
[21:39] <DasE1> msikma_: you run a mac ?
[21:39] <Dada_> Yet still hosted on Ubuntu
[21:39] <Dada_> DasE1: right now I am
[21:39] <DCPom> Dada_, oh i see
[21:39] <lashi> does anyone have any idea bout my international keyboard problem?
[21:39] <lashi> :S
[21:39] <guntbert> mordof: ?
[21:39] <Dada_> Hmm, well, time to try some things
[21:39] <mordof> guntbert: ok.. done. so, my terminal is now in a new screen session thingy?
[21:39] <BitWraith> does anybody here use Lubi? (Wubi for Linux)
[21:39] <DasE1> al right then, have no experience with the installe, but will dld one to see its options, Dada_
[21:40] <BitWraith> I need to see a known working grub.conf/menu.lst
[21:40] <genii> Gah. As if regular wubi needed to have forks
[21:40] <hydrozen> /quit
[21:40] <Winol> hey guys ! is there a nice website for noobies that want to learn ubuntu please ?
[21:40] <guntbert> mordof: now try the following: 1) start top, 2) type <CTRL>A C 3) <CTRL>A N
[21:41] <VincentBL> Winol: It's called the documentation.
[21:41] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to get the gforce driver to work on unbuntu 8.10?
[21:41] <ushills> Winol, Ubuntu forums - absolute beginers
[21:41] <jesselucas> I'm using ssh id_rsa keys for passwordless ssh to my two ubuntu servers and two workstations. I created a public private key on one workstation and just copied the public keys to the servers and the same private key to both workstations. is that the best method? Or should I have created a new key for each workstation?
[21:41] <mordof> guntbert: ok, ctrl+a then c takes me to a new window, ctrl+a then n takes me back
[21:41] <Zaiden> Does anyone know if PCSX works in Ubuntu AMD64
[21:42] <BitWraith> I find it so incredibly frustrating that lubi is out there, but nobody seems to have documented how it gets grub to boot the image
[21:42] <Dada_> Right, now let's see if this works
[21:42] <Cerberus_> jesselucas: you should use unique keys....
[21:42] <mordof> guntbert: now.. i'd like to close this ssh session completely while top is running, then get that window back
[21:42] <guntbert> mordof: right, now close the session (not <CTRLL>D, but just close)
[21:42] <perlsyntax> anyone
[21:42] <mordof> guntbert: k, closed. now open a new one?
[21:42] <matisse> hi
[21:42] <VincentBL> Looking for help. Trying to partition using GParted or the Installer on the LiveCD, but my partitions are not detected. Anyone
[21:43] <guntbert> mordof: yes, start a new one and type 'screen -R'
[21:43] <perlsyntax> does anyone know how to get the gfore driver to work on unbuntu 8.10?
[21:43] <jesselucas> Cerberus_: How do I add the new workstation to my authorized_keys for my home directory? All workstations and servers use the same username
[21:43] <venger> Jordan_U, so if i make launcher point to a bash script it will execute .bash upon launch? and i suppose if so i would need it before the if [ -z PS1 ] call perhaps
[21:43] <DasE1> VincentBL: what does fdisk -l say ?
[21:43] <perlsyntax> it will not download
[21:43] <mordof> guntbert: :D:D
[21:43] <venger> s/.bash/.bashrc
[21:43] <DasE1> VincentBL: what does sudo fdisk -l say ?
[21:43] <perlsyntax> ?
[21:44] <VincentBL> DasE1, the're all there. fdisk and nautilus can see the partitions perfectly
[21:44] <Cerberus_> jesselucas: this was helpful to me:  http://blogs.translucentcode.org/mick/archives/000230.html
[21:44] <Cheiron> Title: Shortest passwordless ssh tutorial, ever
[21:44] <jesselucas> Cerberus_: Thank you!
[21:44] <perlsyntax> hello
[21:44] <matisse> It seems to be not possible to open a ssh-connection from a shell which is already connected via ssh to another computer, am I right ?
[21:44] <DasE1>  perlsyntax: the xorg 7.4 is the prob, stay with hardy and see:
[21:44] <DasE1> !ibex
[21:44] <Jordan_U> venger: Yes
[21:44] <mordof> guntbert: so.. what are the two shortcuts for specifically that you told me to do before?
[21:44] <perlsyntax> it no prob with without 3D
[21:44] <perlsyntax> thanks any ways
[21:44] <lungan> Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares
[21:44] <guntbert> mordof: within screen you create more sessions with ctrl+a c, close a session with ctrl+d, the last one terminates screen itself
[21:45] <MTecknology> I used bluetooth-applet to pair my phone and computer. I know it works bacause I grabbed files off of it. Now I want to setup blueproximity but when I scan for devices, it doesn't see my phone.
[21:45] <DasE1> VincentBL: and gparted doesnt show them ? choosen wrong device in gparted ?
[21:45] <matisse> my shell -- ssh --> server A -- ssh --> server B
[21:45] <guntbert> mordof: ctrl+a N = next, ctrl+a P  = previous, but please read 'man screen' or at least 'screen --help' for more details
[21:46] <noriyuki> hey anders__
[21:46] <VincentBL> DasE1: No. Only one hard drive on my laptop and it's the one that shows in GPartedwith the right size but it shows as empty.
[21:46] <Tim-S> if I imported my secret key from another computer, how can I generate a public key with that?
[21:46] <noriyuki> anders__, I solved my problem already
[21:46] <anders__> noriyuki, what was the problem?
[21:46] <cpbtklogic> Anyone know how I can uninstall the complete xubuntu meta-package (and everything it installed?)
[21:46] <anchoragez> why does not ubuntu have a central control panel?
[21:47] <cpbtklogic> I seem to be having a fight between xfce's gtk engine and ubuntu's
[21:47] <Cerberus_> cpbtklogic: i think the package is called xubuntu-desktop    so apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop i think should do it
[21:47] <Kl4m> cpb: apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[21:47] <noriyuki> anders__, is a little more complicated than just re installing but it is still easy
[21:47] <lungan> Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares
[21:47] <Kl4m> cpbtklogic: : apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[21:47] <DasE1> VincentBL: you saw the little window in gparted's title-bar that allows you change viewed hd ?
[21:47] <noriyuki> anders__, you have to modify some things in the bluetooth archive
[21:47] <noriyuki> then restart
[21:47] <mordof> guntbert: so ctrl a+ C = create, ctrl+a N = next, ctrl+a P = previos, ctrl+d = (delete) or destroy? i'm guessing.  i'll make sure to read the man screen shortly ^^ mainly the issue was i didn't know how i was supposed to get it set up, whether client or server needed the program itself
[21:47] <noriyuki> and VOILA! hehe
[21:47] <cpbtklogic> only one package removed
[21:47] <mordof> so, now that that's taken care of, i'll go over the details of it. ty very much
[21:48] <cpbtklogic> xubuntu-desktop is a meta package
[21:48] <guntbert> matisse: that certainly is possible (generally), what are you trying to do?
[21:48] <Winol> thanks
[21:48] <guntbert> mordof: yw :)
[21:48] <VincentBL> DasE1: As I said, /dev/sda is selected in GParted and that's my only hard drive anyway.
[21:48] <jrib> mordof: all you need is ctrl-a ?
[21:48] <Nanojit>  Once in a while, my wifi on the AAO will stop working and won't connect again to my AP. Restarting doesn't work and messages about not being able to reset the wifi card appear in dmesg. Powering off and powering on again seems to get wifi working again. Anyone else experiencing this?
[21:48] <Kl4m> cpbtklogic: the line that removes the rest is apt-get autoremove
[21:48]  * Nanojit running Intrepid with latest kernel and ath5k.
[21:48] <mordof> jrib: not sure what you mean, but if things get changed on me now i'll be confused.
[21:49] <lungan> Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> no... autoremove is only for orphaned packages.
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> it doesn't do anything/.
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> :-(
[21:49] <matisse> guntbert: first ssh-connection is to get a another ip to be not refused by server B
[21:49] <jrib> mordof: press 'ctrl-a', then '?' in screen.  It will show you most of the shortcuts
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> guess I'm screwed.
[21:49] <DasE1> VincentBL: you saw the little window in gparted's title-bar that allows you change viewed hd ?
[21:49] <mordof> jrib: ah
[21:50] <lungan> Why are all my characters in mercury looking like squares?
[21:50] <DCPom> lungan, try installing msttcorefonts, it may not have the fonts it needs
[21:50] <VincentBL> DasE1: I just told you I did have it set to the right hd
[21:50] <DasE1> VincentBL: if that doesn't do,  close gparted, open a terminal
[21:50] <matisse> guntbert: if I trying to do that the shell gets stuck
[21:50] <Dada_> Well DasE1: I tried running it with vga=1 and now I seem to get a little more response, but the X server shows only a large glitch.  Still, it finds a screen.  So at least there's some progress!
[21:50] <Docal> Can an upgrade be performed from 7.10 to 8.04 without having to burn media?
[21:50] <leethal> so, umm, I installed ubuntu with the network install stuff, and it seems like that didn't install gnome. Just getting the command line, no X or anything.
[21:50] <lungan> DCPom but it worked before
[21:50] <Cerberus_> Docal:  well sure
[21:51] <leethal> any short commands I can run in order to install that?
[21:51] <jrib> !upgrade > Docal
[21:51] <DasE1> VincentBL: sudo hdparm -z
[21:51] <DasE1> VincentBL: gparted
[21:51] <Docal> Thank you
[21:51] <ushills> Docal sudo apt-get upgrade /d
[21:51] <guntbert> matisse: if you open a ssh-session to one server, you practically "sit" at that server, and you can do (nearly) anything you can do directly on the console
[21:51] <jrib> leethal: install the ubuntu-desktop package
[21:51] <leethal> jrib: thanks =)
[21:51] <DCPom> lungan, what have you done differently since then? the command to install the font packages is sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[21:52] <DCPom> lungan, followed by sudo fc-cache -f -v
[21:52] <DasE1> Dada_: I can't help you much with macs as I don't use em , but can tell you in approx 10 min about the installer cd
[21:52] <Dada_> DasE1: that's okay, I'll do some more figuring out
[21:52] <pOOdi> ?
[21:52] <Dada_> I'm sure it's possible
[21:53] <DasE1> VincentBL: any changes now ?
[21:53] <egoflux> i just pluged in my s-video to the tv and even though there is a second display detected, there is no putput to the tv...
[21:53] <VincentBL> DasE1: hdparm -z required a device parameter. I put in sda since it's the hd with the partitions but it says the disk is busy
[21:53] <matisse> guntbert: now it works... well earlier today the 2nd connection hung at "debug1: Entering interactive session."
 and trying know, i dont remember what i did but nothing special i think :S
[21:54] <guntbert> matisse: sweet :)
[21:54] <DCPom> lungan, you could just try reinstalling if the font packages didn't work
 It worked and thank you so much
[21:54] <Nanojit>  Once in a while, my wifi on the AAO will stop working and won't connect again to my AP. Restarting doesn't work and messages about not being able to reset the wifi card appear in dmesg. Powering off and powering on again seems to get wifi working again. Anyone else experiencing this?

[21:54] <leethal> jrib: it's downloading openoffice and stuff, guess I have to live with that? ; )
[21:54] <matisse> :)
[21:54] <DCPom> lungan, np
[21:54] <DasE1> VincentBL: what gives sudo fdisk -l exctly for the /dev/sdXX  out ?
[21:55] <^Cheeky> can anyone help me with VM in ubuntu i installed xp as a VM , it works fine but when i plug in my usb web cam it doent pop up in windows could some one please help me ?
[21:55] <jrib> leethal: well, it will get you what the regular install has with ubuntu desktop.  In retrospect that may not have been what you wanted?
[21:55] <leethal> jrib: it's not like having open office is a problem, so it's ok I guess
[21:55] <IntuitiveNipple> ^Cheeky: It depends what VM hypervisor you're using
 But azureus still have that kind of russian charachters, not all of them are russian, but for example "file" is writen with russian characters
[21:56] <Kl4m> ^Cheeky: what Virtual machine software are you using?
[21:56] <VincentBL> A list of sda's from 1 to 8, all my partitions. sda1 is FAT32, 2 and 3 are NTFS, , 4 is Ext'd, 5 is Unknown, 6 is Swap, 7 and 8 are Ext3
[21:56] <egoflux> anyone?
[21:56] <leethal> jrib: seeing that it aso installs alsa etc, I guess it makes sense.
[21:56] <VincentBL> DasE1: A list of sda's from 1 to 8, all my partitions. sda1 is FAT32, 2 and 3 are NTFS, , 4 is Ext'd, 5 is Unknown, 6 is Swap, 7 and 8 are Ext3
[21:56] <DCPom> lungan, there area few more font packages you can try installing
[21:57] <DasE1> VincentBL: sudo hdparm -z /dev/sda
[21:57] <^Cheeky> sun systems v 2,02
[21:57] <VincentBL> BLKRRPART failed: Device or resource busy, as I said
[21:58] <^Cheeky> IntuitiveNipple, umm sun xVM v2.02
[21:58] <DasE1> VincentBL: mmight have to try from live, and also use e2fsck  !!CAREFULL: disk mussn't be mounted for that
[21:58] <DCPom> lungan, you can try sudo apt-get install gv gsfonts gsfonts-x11 then the same sudo fc-cache -f -v
[21:58] <VincentBL> I'm on Live CD
[21:59] <DasE1> VincentBL: sda unmounted ? sudo umount -a
[21:59] <VincentBL> returned device is busy many times
[22:00] <DasE1> VincentBL: mount                 ,output ?
[22:00] <VincentBL> proc, sysfs, varrun, udev, devshm, devpts, tmpfs
[22:00] <^Cheeky> IntuitiveNipple, does that version let you use USB?
[22:01] <IntuitiveNipple> ^Cheeky: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747
[22:03] <IntuitiveNipple> ^Cheeky: also, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB
[22:03] <Aeosynth> Is there any way to restore previous settings? Should I just reinstall Ubuntu? I can't edit menus or see 'applications' in the gnome menu bar
[22:03] <lImItaO> hi
[22:04] <DCPom> Aeosynth, if you right click the panel and go to add new item. then search menu, is there a choice for that?
[22:04] <lungan> DCPom sry, in azuerus I just dont know but the language was on "germania"
[22:04] <DCPom> lungan, lol, well problem solved
[22:04] <lungan> DCPom but thank you for the help with mercury :D
[22:04] <lImItaO> is there any way to listen in mpd's clients the music of the server? Always sound in the server!!!
[22:04] <Aeosynth> there's a 'search for files' thing, yeah
[22:05] <Aeosynth> i just added it and it works
[22:05] <tim_> hello
[22:05] <DCPom> Aeosynth, so you're good?
[22:05] <Aeosynth> basically everything works, except for applications
[22:05] <DasE1> VincentBL: also, did you check the cd for defects ?
[22:05] <tim_> i have no idea what this is???
[22:05] <Aeosynth> i can add items to my panels

[22:14] <ConstantineXVI_> Silv3r_Blad3: then from there, archive manager should be able to extract from the resulting .iso
[22:14] <cpbtklogic> it is just flip flopping between themes and engines

[22:17] <SliM1> i start ssh with the -X option, but when I run an X application on the server, it says that "DISPLAY" isn't set
[22:18] <SliM1> and setting DISPLAY or using the -display option won't do it
[22:18] <meoblast001> what do i do in fstab so i can copy any file i want of a cd?
[22:18] <SliM1> xterm Xt error: Can't open display: <IP_ADDRESS>:0

[22:19] <Codemaster|Mobil> x-session-manager[20948]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-wm.desktop' failed to register before timeout
[22:19] <ConstantineXVI_> DigiFly_: not until 8.10, at the least.
[22:19] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: well when i try to copy my Playstation CD's so i can run them in PSX without my external CD drive, programs always complain about some file
[22:19] <meoblast001> for example
[22:19] <meoblast001> genisoimage: Input/output error. Cannot read from '/media/cdrom/stream.ixa'
[22:20] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: you know a virgin playstation can't run backups, right?
[22:20] <Aeosynth> DCPom: thanks, it's working now. I think the issue was that I didn't have any free space left (after 8gig dl) so I couldn't save any new settings
[22:21] <DasE1> Dada_: I can't help you much with macs as I don't use em ,also a pc doesn't boot it, but indeed I couldn't find a check-option it its bootmenu
[22:21] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: ?
[22:21] <Dada_> DasE1: not sure if you saw my message earlier, but I managed to get X to work comfortably
 already did that. i have libdvdcss2 installed
[22:22] <DasE1> Dada_: good to hear, I haven't seen
[22:22] <Dada_> DasE1: it was a matter of setting vga=1 at boot and then finding out the exact specs of the built-in monitor as well as some other xorg.conf settings
[22:22] <Dada_> I'll make a post about it later on the forums
[22:22] <Dada_> For posterity
[22:22] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: as in, you can't copy playstation cds and play them without modifying your playstation
[22:23] <DasE1> Dada_: very oftwen a bad burn is the prob, so its bad not to havwe a checker on tht kinda disc-installer
[22:23] <jrib> stickboy: is this a dvd with css (some commercial movie)?
[22:23] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: uhh.... this is my PC... they can copy CD's
[22:23] <Dada_> I'll try that later, though for now I'll try installing
[22:23] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: oh, PSX is the hardware, are you thinking of PCSX?
[22:23] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI: im copying these so i can run them in a PSX (software) program
 i got it from netflix. other netflix movies have worked in the past. (it's in bruges)
[22:23] <meoblast001> sorry.. the hardware is PSX... the software is pSX
[22:23] <DasE1> Dada_: as i said, the installer doesn't has this opton in his boot file
[22:23] <PoisonArrow> Can anyone tell me how to check a file sysmte id, such as /dev/hda2?
[22:24] <Dada_> DasE1: I did think I saw it, though
[22:24] <DasE1> PoisonArrow: uuid ?
[22:25] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: try this: "cat /dev/cdrom0 > foobar.iso", foobar being what you want to call the file
[22:25] <PoisonArrow> DasE1, thanks i will try
[22:25] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: h/o im rooting the ISO process.. then ill try that if this doesnt work
[22:25] <PoisonArrow> DasE1, command dont work
[22:27] <JDahl> is there a GUI way to have additional partitions automatically mounted (with appropriated proporties for a single user system),  or do I have to manually edit fstab?
[22:27] <DasE1> PoisonArrow:that wasn't a cmd, do u want the disk identifier (uuid) or check the fs ?
[22:27] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: Input/output error
[22:28] <DasE1> JDahl: fstab
[22:29] <DasE1> JDahl: you might google ntfs-config, but in my eyes its more hassle then edit fstab once
[22:29] <DasE1> PoisonArrow: ?
[22:30] <JDahl> DasE1, thanks,  I was just wondering if there was an obvious ubuntu tool I'd missed;
[22:30] <DasE1> Dada_: saw my pm ?
[22:30] <JDahl> DasE1, it is an ext3 partitiong, though
[22:31] <Dada_> DasE1: yes, thanks, I think I'll be trying something tomorrow
[22:31] <DasE1> JDahl: need help with fstab ?
[22:32] <JDahl> DasE1, I can probably figure it out from google
[22:32] <PoisonArrow> DasE1, I found it thanks, its fdisk -l ^^ for some reason when i do a mkswap, it says the uuid=asdfa, which is incorect, I check the uuid of that particular partition and it is different, how can I change it?
[22:32] <sd32> haha... 15 different live distros all boot on my system...except mandriva..lol
[22:33] <DasE1> PoisonArrow: sudo blkid for the right, put in fstab
[22:33] <PoisonArrow> k
[22:33] <jj_> hi lads ... I have a question... :)
[22:34] <DasE1> !ask
[22:35] <DasE1> JDahl: could pm me , its a 10 min usually
 any ideas? not even vlc will work.
[22:35] <jj_> rapidfire - where i can some settings for that plug-in ??
[22:35] <meoblast001> what do i do in fstab so i can copy any file i want of a cd?
[22:36] <jrib> stickboy: not really.  If other DVDs work, and this one works in XP all I can suggest is googling the error.  Can you pastebin the full output you are getting?
[22:37] <Dreamglider_> i have a problem with jerky dvd play bact, i have MDA enabled.
[22:37] <Dreamglider_> i manage to cure some of the jerking by unplugging one of the cd rom drives but it is still far from good.
[22:38] <stickboy> jrib : i googled it and it seems all the problems are solved by using vlc but that won't work for me. how do i play the dvd using terminal?
[22:38] <jrib> stickboy: mplayer dvd://  if you have mplayer
[22:41] <stickboy> jrib : http://paste.ubuntu.com/56112/ all it says, never opens anything
[22:42] <jrib> stickboy: what command did you run?
[22:43] <DasE1> stickyboy: vlc is strange, ubuntu-restricted-extras installed ?   digge through /var/log/syslog - file  for errors ?
[22:43] <damijit> Hello, I am a new linux user. I am trying to install Netbeans 6.1 and JDK 6 on my computer. I went to Sun's site, and downloaded a file named "jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh". How do I install from this file?
[22:43] <DasE1> *digged*
[22:43] <thetrav> ahoy hoy.  I've got a folder that's currently owned by root, and I want to give it to my user
[22:43] <DasE1> !java|damijit
[22:43] <thetrav> can I do that with chmod? or is it another command?
[22:43] <jrib> thetrav: what directory?
[22:43] <stickboy> jrib : this is weird. my keyboard is literally typing on its own and random windows are opening up. haunted? lol
[22:43] <thetrav> umm /media/disk/dump
[22:44] <stickboy> jrib : mplayer dvd://media/cdrom0
[22:44] <jrib> thetrav: what filesystem
[22:44] <jrib> stickboy: nah, just 'mplayer dvd://'
[22:44] <thetrav> ext3 ?  Is that a file system?
[22:44] <damijit> I'm not trying to install the JRE, I'm trying to install the JDK and Netbeans IDE
[22:44] <jrib> thetrav: yeah, use chown to change ownership

[22:45] <Dreamglider_> is there much diffrence between ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 ?

[22:45] <kitche> Dreamglider_: well versions and some small stuff are different
[22:45] <freeman192038> hi, someone know where i can find mod_slotlimit package? it's a project that i've found on sourceforge
[22:45] <stickboy> jrib : same output as before
[22:45] <Sapient> I heard that it was unsafe to add . to your execution path... is this true?
[22:45] <jrib> stickboy: it shouldn't be the same, pastebin
[22:45] <HymnToLife> Sapient: yes
[22:46] <Dreamglider_> will me installing 8.04 fix the jerky dvd playback ?
[22:46] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: Note: there are JDK packages (Sun JDK and OpenJDK) in the archives, but for that file you'd do something like: "chmod a+x jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh && sudo ./jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh"
[22:46] <Sapient> HymnToLife: why is it unsafe and how unsafe is it (just curious) ?

[22:46] <ElijahDuBarryVT> may I install non-free-codecs when I have installed w32codecs?

[22:47] <HymnToLife> Sapient: Google is your friend, and will most likely explain better than me
[22:47] <stickboy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/56117/
[22:47] <jrib> ElijahDuBarryVT: (it won't really do anything though :))
[22:47] <damijit> IntuitiveNipple: OK, what are the archives and how do I install from them? Also, can I get Netbeans from the archives?
[22:47] <Sapient> HymnToLife: "." isn't exactly a great search keyword...
[22:48] <Sapient> otherwise I wouldn't ask in here
[22:48] <kitche> Sapient: really there is no need to put . in your PATH use the full path instead
[22:48] <jrib> stickboy: hmm, do you get a window if you specify a particular title.  Like with: mplayer dvd://1    (2,3,... etc)
[22:48] <stickboy> jrib : http://paste.ubuntu.com/56118/
[22:49] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk netbeans" - see http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-jdk and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/netbeans
[22:49] <stickboy> jrib : no i don't
[22:49] <jrib> stickboy: yeah, your last pastebin tells us the real problem.  I don't know about it.  You have to scour for info on why dvdcss fails to crack some keys
[22:50] <HymnToLife> Sapient: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/misc/27942-linux-doesnt-automatically-add-current-directory-path.html#post141980

[22:58] <Omoikane_> I saw a few screens of Ibex that had a theme that looked like panes of glass for windows. I was wondering if that can be done.
[22:58] <Blaenk> hey guys I'm trying to create a system link of a script to my /usr/bin so that I can execute it by just calling 'myscript', I did sudo ln -s trace.py /usr/bin/trace
[22:58] <Blaenk> but it doesn't seem to work
[22:59] <Blaenk> when I cat the script, /usr/bin/trace, it's empty
[22:59] <jrib> Blaenk: do you want a better way to do it or do you want to figure out what you are doing wrong?
[22:59] <Blaenk> well both if it's not a bother?
[22:59] <Blaenk> any would be greatly appreciated
[23:00] <Blaenk> basically I don't want to have a copy of the script
[23:00] <LjL> like, put it in /usr/local and don't call it "trace"?
[23:00] <Blaenk> because it's a check out of a repository
[23:00] <SM411> Not anyone here that can help me?
[23:00] <Blaenk> if that makes any sense
[23:00] <Blaenk> I'll try
[23:00] <Blaenk> LjL: /usr/local/trace didn't work either
[23:00] <LjL> Blaenk: /usr/local/bin/trace
[23:00] <Blaenk> ok
[23:01] <Blaenk> same
[23:01] <jrib> Blaenk: you want to do 'ln -s TARGET NAME' where TARGET = the path to trace.py and NAME = /usr/local/bin/target
[23:01] <LjL> Blaenk: never put stuff in /usr, except for /usr/local
[23:01] <JanekMZ21> howdy, does anyone know how to get the sidebar on the right in the following image http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/current-desk.png
[23:01] <Blaenk> I'm doing that, unless target must be an absolute path
[23:01] <MidnightDevil> any linux games strategy alike age of empires, for linux?
[23:01] <jrib> Blaenk: it can be relative, but it has to be in relation to /usr/local/bin/
[23:02] <Blaenk> I see
[23:02] <Blaenk> so I can't just do trace.py just because it's in the curdir
[23:02] <JanekMZ21> Midnight, you can get Red Alert for free
[23:02] <jrib> Blaenk: right
[23:02] <Blaenk> is /usr/local/bin in the PATH?
[23:02] <Blaenk> or must I add it
[23:02] <MidnightDevil> oh nea JanekMZ21, is it free?
[23:02] <Blaenk> hey it works now thanks jrib and LjL
[23:02] <Blaenk> I appreciate it
[23:02] <MidnightDevil> neat*
[23:03] <LjL> Blaenk: yes, it is
[23:03] <JanekMZ21> yeah, the original version is free
[23:03] <MidnightDevil> tks :) any others?
[23:03] <JanekMZ21> if you do search on the web, you'll find directions how to install it on linux

[23:12] <break_free> lucax, how would I go about using madwifis?
[23:13] <ElijahDuBarryVT> will I made mistake if I install ubunut-restricted-extras, kubuntu-restricted-extras and xubuntu-restricted-extras together?
[23:13] <ElijahDuBarryVT> not only ubuntu
[23:13] <jrib> ElijahDuBarryVT: nope
[23:14] <lucax> break_free, go to madwifi web page... download drivers, then sudo apt-get install build-essentials, tar xvf madwifidrivers.tar.gz,make config, make, sudo make install
[23:14] <break_free> lucax, I don't have to uninstall the default drivers?
[23:14] <lucax> break_free, theres a hwoto in the tar gz file though
[23:15] <pianoboy3333> jrib: in addition right now I have the nvidia-glx-new package installed
[23:15] <lucax> break_free, if they are third party yeah
[23:15] <jrib> pianoboy3333: pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:15] <break_free> lucax, I don't think i have third party drivers. I am running wicd though
[23:16] <lucax> break_free, try madwifi
[23:16] <break_free> is it easy to roll back if it doesn't work?

[23:20] <saxonjf> Can anyone help me with compiz?
[23:20] <Nt_nT> Hey I just downloaded a program that I couldnt find in the synaptic package manager. It says it is an executable file, a setup file. How do I start it?
[23:21] <damiji1> IntuitiveNipple: Hey it's me again. Installing from the archives failed, what was the command to install from "jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh" again?
[23:21] <Wotanskrieger> can anyone help me with modem 56k compilation and settings?
[23:21] <cyphase> Uptime: 31 days, 22:18
[23:21] <IntuitiveNipple> damiji1: "failed" - I'd recommend solving that issue, since that points to some system issues, before installing a non-standard package and possibly interfering with system packages
[23:22] <jrib> pianoboy3333: sure, if you want
[23:22] <hanoi> hello
[23:22] <ElijahDuBarryVT> nothing can't make to play .mpeg :(
[23:22] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: But, here's what I wrote earlier: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk netbeans" - see http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-jdk and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/netbeans
[23:22] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: Note: there are JDK packages (Sun JDK and OpenJDK) in the archives, but for that file you'd do something like: "chmod a+x jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh && sudo ./jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh"
[23:22] <pianoboy3333> jrib: ok, restarting X
[23:22] <hanoi> hello i need help
[23:23] <IntuitiveNipple> don't we all!?
[23:23] <thiebaude> !netbeans
[23:23] <hanoi> how to change the language to Hebrew or Arabic
[23:23] <toresn> do any of you use 'music on console'?
[23:23] <IntuitiveNipple> damiji1: also, have you considered Eclipse as a possible alternative to netbeans?
[23:24] <hanoi> how to change the language to Hebrew or Arabic
[23:24] <paulproteus> I just installed Ubuntu on my Intel iBook, and I am using refit successfully.
[23:24] <Nt_nT> !install
[23:24] <paulproteus> It shows me a Linux option, but when I launch it the machine shows a penguin icon for a moment and then turns off.
[23:24] <aldipc> how do I setup a wireless connection using my build-in wireless device (intel) in ubuntu?
[23:25] <jrib> paulproteus: does linux load from bootcamp?
[23:25] <damiji1> IntuitiveNipple: I have, and I use it on Windows, but right now I'm trying to learn OpenOffice extensions, and it integrates with NetBeans
[23:25] <paulproteus> jrib, This is OS X 10.4; I don't have Bootcamp.
[23:25] <paulproteus> I only have refit.
[23:25] <jak-o> hi to all
[23:25] <paulproteus> And thanks for taking an interest (-:
[23:26] <Nt_nT> how do u start an executable file in linux?
[23:26] <aldipc> nt_nt start up a terminal!
[23:26] <mm_202> This may be a stupid question, but why is Kubuntu using 2.6.24[-21], not the latest?  (since 2.6.27 just came out...)
[23:26] <jak-o> i have installed only xorg, nvidia driver and xbmc (a mediacenter that doesn't need windowmanager), so how to autologin?
[23:26] <Nt_nT> yes that much i know :P
[23:26] <aldipc> so just type in the name
[23:27] <Nt_nT> ok
[23:27] <jrib> paulproteus: when I installed ubuntu on my macbook I found some problems.  Apparently grub doesn't get setup correctly.  I had to end up doing the "sync" or "refresh" (can't recall) option in refit and then reinstall grub on the ubuntu partition from the live cd.    Did you check the wiki for hints  (help.ubuntu.com)?
[23:27] <Nt_nT> does nothing
[23:27] <paulproteus> jrib, Oh, I didn't do anything special for grub
[23:27] <thiebaude> hi jrib
[23:27] <paulproteus> reinstall grub on the Ubuntu partition?  Sounds good to me.
[23:27] <jrib> thiebaude: hey
[23:27] <Nt_nT> its supposed to be a setup file
[23:28] <rwrw> for some reason i keep getting dbus erros telling me that dbus isent running
[23:28] <rwrw> when i run it /etc/init.d/dbus start
[23:28] <rwrw> everything works fine
[23:28] <rwrw> how do i autostart dbus?
[23:28] <neopsyche> hi. anyone. where is a repo for 8.04 desktop alternate install i386?
[23:29] <neopsyche> I need to grab specific files
[23:29] <jrib> !alternate | neopsyche
[23:29] <ZeroanHero> im running e17, is there a way to view my windows shares?
[23:29] <jrib> neopsyche: the repos are the same for alternate and desktop, just a different install method
[23:29] <neopsyche> jrib: not torrent, i need to get the files individually
[23:29] <jrib> neopsyche: what do you need exactly?
[23:29] <Stormx2> neopsyche: There's no specific repo for the alternate install. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[23:30] <Zaiden> When I try to save my nvidia display settings to the X configuration file, I get an error saying "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'. Is there a way to fix this so I can have 1280x1024 as my default screen resolution when I log in?
[23:30] <neopsyche> jrib: thanks.. where can i grab individual files from that.. i am using windows in a country where it is expensive for bandwidth and want to install vmware on ubuntu but damaged installation cd with about 12mb missing packages which i want to download and replace manually then re-build the iso to install on vmware.

[23:37] <Flare183> iamrafkid: I might be able to help

[23:38] <Max-P> Hi all, I have a problem with my remote: It doesn't always work, it stops working after disabling wireless, and need to boot windows to make it working again on linux (Hardware off?)
[23:38] <Flare183> iamrafkid: ok What kind of problem are you having?
[23:38] <woooosh> Samba can be used as a windows domain controller... my question is: what if you are only using linux machine, how does a linux only network create a PDC ? (does that make sense)
[23:38] <jcdick> I was wondering if it was possible to "capture" an interactive process from one terminal into another without using a screen session
[23:39] <neopsyche> Flare183: i am using windows trying to get missing ubuntu packages. its ok. im using a program already.
[23:39] <mm_202> jcdick: if its not using curses, than I'd say it'd be fairly easy.
[23:39] <iamrafkid> Flare183: I cannot get vb to recognise any usb devices - it is as if they do not exist - this is after enumerable fix's
[23:39] <Flare183> neopsyche: then goto http://packages.ubuntu.com/  and get them there
[23:40] <jcdick> mm_202:  Might you have any idea what commands to use?  I started a process from a remote login at work, but forgot to kick off screen first.  Now I need to "
[23:40] <Flare183> iamrafkid: uh weird try unmounting the usb and then starting vb
[23:40] <iamrafkid> Flare183: and yet lsusb tells me they are all recognised
[23:40] <jcdick> Grrr ... take over that process now that I'm home to monitor its progress
[23:40] <jrib> iamrafkid: huh?
[23:40] <iamrafkid> Flare183: will do now
[23:40] <Flare183> k
[23:41] <iamrafkid> jrib: your previous answer left me aghast....................
[23:41] <neopsyche> Flare183: is this also an ok mirror?
[23:41] <mm_202> jcdick: oh, so you're trying to take it over, not use 'watching' the output?
[23:41] <neopsyche> http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/
[23:41] <neopsyche> Flare183: http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/
[23:41] <jrib> iamrafkid: because I'm not psychic or...?
[23:41] <Flare183> umm
[23:41] <thiebaude> lol,jrib
[23:41] <jmg> guys how do i make networkmanager settings permanent for all users?
[23:41] <iamrafkid> jrib: nah you have misunderstood somehting - my apologies - my bad
[23:41] <Flare183> neopsyche: I would use the actual ubuntu repos/packages and not mirror (sometimes the mirrors aren't updated)
[23:42] <jcdick> mm_202:  Watching the output would be fine ... I just don't know how to do it ... I could use script to capture to a file, but I want it to go from the remote session (pts/1) to my local session (pts/2)
[23:42] <neopsyche> Flare183: how do i search for packages?
[23:42] <IntuitiveNipple> iamrafkid:  see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB
[23:42] <Flare183> neopsyche: Goto http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for the packages there
[23:42] <IntuitiveNipple> iamrafkid: Also: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747  (someone else asked the same question about an hour ago and solved it with those links)
[23:43] <mm_202> jcdick: k, give me a min to find/make the script  (playing an online chess game, my move)
[23:43] <Flare183> wow
[23:43] <neopsyche> Flare183: there is no search box?
[23:43] <jcdick> mm_202:  Oh, that would be great!  Thanks!
[23:43] <Flare183> neopsyche: There should be a search box
[23:43] <iamrafkid> Intuitivenipple: thankyou for that - been there done that to death, no joy
[23:43] <Pici> neopsyche: scroll down
[23:43] <IntuitiveNipple> iamawake: So what error messages does VB / the system logs report?

[23:51] <navane> i did: sudo apt-get remove libstdc++6
[23:51] <navane> and now it looks like my ubuntu is uninstalling itself?
[23:51] <rwrw> in what package is the /etc/passwd in ?
[23:51] <Flare183> rwrw: There isn't one
[23:51] <rwrw> =
[23:51] <rwrw> ?
[23:52] <navane> is there anyway to reverse the process?
[23:52] <Flare183> navane: reinstall it
[23:52] <rwrw> ok how do i generate that file then
[23:52] <unop> rwrw, it does not belong to a package, it is created when you install the system
[23:52] <Flare183> rwrw: use passwd
[23:52] <DasE1> rwrw: it gets installed automatically
[23:52] <rwrw> my got corrupted
[23:52] <Flare183> ouch
[23:52] <rwrw> or something is corrupted
[23:52] <unop> rwrw, there might be a backup at /etc/passwd- then
[23:52] <neopsyche> CRAP! I cant beleive there are drivers for the FRITZ chip in UBUNTU!!!
[23:52] <neopsyche> ???
[23:52] <GofG> I read the guide for installing ubuntu from a flash drive... I'm on an Acer Aspire One running Windows XP Home and i'd really prefer to be running Ubuntu. Is there any easy way to do this?
[23:52] <neopsyche> THAT SUCKS!
[23:52] <FloodBot1> neopsyche: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:52] <rwrw> i cant login on anyterminal
[23:52] <rwrw> luckly i have a root already logged in
[23:53] <Flare183> rwrw: Then use root to change your password
[23:53] <unop> rwrw, reset your user's password then - from a root shell,  pass user_name
[23:53] <unop> err, passwd user_name
[23:53] <Flare183> yeap
[23:53] <rwrw> Flare183: did not work

[23:54] <martin_r> wine doesn't cognize my vista installation?
[23:54] <martin_r> why?
[23:54] <unop> martin_r, wine does not do that
[23:54] <Flare183> martin_r: What do you mean?
[23:54] <IntuitiveNipple> rwrw: maybe there is a backup? /etc/passwd-  (and /etc/shadow- for the actual passwords)
[23:54] <jrib> martin_r: wine has nothing to do with windows installations
[23:54] <rwrw> are - backups?
[23:54] <BlueEagle> martin_r: wine is not an emulator
[23:54] <rwrw> if i run sudo i get
[23:55] <rwrw> sudo: uid 1000 does not exist in the passwd file!
[23:55] <DasE1>  martin_r: use vmware to run win inside ubuntu
[23:55] <BlueEagle> martin_r: That's what the acronym stands for
[23:55] <Chousuke> rwrw: ...
[23:55] <Chousuke> rwrw: sounds like your system is very broken
[23:55] <navane> is uninstalling libstdc++6 bad?
[23:55] <Chousuke> yes
[23:55] <IntuitiveNipple> rwrw: cat /etc/passwd-   ... see if the users you expect are there?
[23:55] <BlueEagle> rwrw: Have you created a new user and deleted the one you created during install?
[23:55] <rwrw> k that did it
[23:55] <rwrw> now it works
[23:55] <navane> if im doing it right now, what should i do to minimize damage?
[23:55] <navane> hypothetically
[23:56] <rwrw> i think the editor i used b0rked my file

[23:56] <iamrafkid> All: I fear jrib has the answer in that VB ose does nto support usb out of the box but the binaries from Sun direct do...............knashing of teeth as eh realises another winxp instlal is coming up - night all
[23:56] <martin_r> DasE1: where to get vmware from?
[23:56] <unop> rwrw, you should never ever ever ever - edit /etc/passwd with an editor by hand
[23:56] <DasE1>  martin_r: google it
[23:56] <Flare183> Yeah
[23:56] <Flare183> lol
[23:56] <Flare183> oops sry about that
[23:56] <unop> !lol
[23:56] <Chousuke> navane: you really shouldn't do it
[23:56] <Chousuke> navane: it's the C++ standard library
[23:56] <rwrw> unop: ? why not
[23:57] <thiebaude> not irc
[23:57] <rwrw> how do you edit it then with scripts?
[23:57] <Chousuke> navane: any C++ app that depends on it will also be removed
[23:57] <Chousuke> navane: which should be quite a sizable portion of all apps on your system.
[23:57] <unop> rwrw, because you can easily make a mistake and leave /etc/passwd useless - prohibiting you from logging in, etc
[23:57] <rwrw> they dont give you a good overview, i have never had issues before, this is the first time ever, and i just started using this new editor too
[23:57] <zetheroo-ubuntu> hmm
[23:57] <rwrw> unop: i see your point
[23:57] <thiebaude> rwrw:lol, im on irc right now
[23:57] <out0flaw> Is the network manager in Ubuntu 8.04 capable of doing everything that wpa_supplicant can? Because I can connect to network via wpa_supplicant but I don't see the same options in nm? Any ideas?
[23:57] <BlueEagle> rwrw: useradd and passwd
[23:57] <IntuitiveNipple> rwrw: use usermod
[23:57] <Chousuke> navane: also, remove "that depends on it" from my previous statement as redundant :P
[23:57] <unop> rwrw, there are a whole set of tools that do this job for you - and they perform error checking, etc before /etc/passwd is written to
[23:58] <rwrw> how do you get a overview
[23:58] <The-Kernel> Where does HAL dump its logs on start up?
[23:58] <rwrw> ok anyways, i guess i learnt my lesson
[23:58] <BlueEagle> The-Kernel: I think most things goes into /var/log
[23:58] <rwrw> i will use the scripts from now on :)
[23:58] <The-Kernel> BlueEagle: true but what file?
[23:58] <The-Kernel> I can't find it
[23:58] <Chousuke> rwrw: or make a backup :P
[23:58] <unop> rwrw, if you must ever edit /etc/passwd by hand - use visudo (but i suggest using that only as a last resort)
[23:58] <rwrw> :) yea
[23:59] <unop> rwrw, sorry, that's  vipw  not visudo
[23:59] <rwrw> how do i figure out what daemons are getting started at startup?
[23:59] <rwrw> vipw ok, i will lookinto it
[23:59] <rwrw> never used it before
[23:59] <unop> !startup > rwrw
[23:59] <IntuitiveNipple> rwrw: "man usermod" and look at the "See Also:" section at the end for related commands/files
[23:59] <switchfoot> i am so blazed
[23:59] <BlueEagle> The-Kernel: If it doens't go anywhere else /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages are likely suspects
[23:59] <kindofabuzz> does running memtest from the grub menu "fix" memory problems or just let's you know about them?
[23:59] <rwrw> no not gnome, i mean like startup init scripts
