[19:08] <binarymutant> azimout, I thought there were no viruses all were just tests which then were patched...
[19:09] <SlimeyPete> MTecknology: indeed, but if Oni_of_z_AsH is concerned then there's no harm in installing an AV in case one does make it out "into the wild"
[19:09] <binarymutant> wiki lies!
[19:10] <predator363> ronz0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60626/
[19:10] <MTecknology> SlimeyPete: common sense says that - but virus scanners that run on Linux don't check for a linux virus afaik. They just check for Windows based virii signatures.
[19:10] <neosisani> is beta version good for complete newbies to linux?
[19:11] <SlimeyPete> neosisani: no
[19:11] <neosisani> thx
[19:11] <predator363> b r b got   to   pee
[19:11] <SlimeyPete> MTecknology: good point

[19:15] <emobus> What can I use to convert m4a files to mp3?
[19:15] <isaac__> I know this is the Ubuntu chat, but can I ask an XChat question here?  Nobody is watching #xchat.
[19:15] <RonzO> emobus, do a search for convertIT
[19:15] <isaac__> emobus, try soundconverter
[19:15] <MTecknology> isaac__: yup
[19:15] <emobus> either of those in apt?
[19:15] <isaac__> In settings>advanced>userlist popups, how do you make a multi-line popup?  Also, how do you make a popup for personal actions (/me)?
[19:16] <isaac__> I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 if it matters, using regular XChat, not XChat Gnome.
[19:16] <maniheer> !hi | supravat
[19:16] <supravat> hello

[19:17] <supravat> I wanna watch the desktop of my friends who are using XP , how ?
[19:18] <supravat> hi jaggy
[19:18] <ajhtiredwolf> supravat, they will need to install vnc
[19:18] <predator363> ronz0: im back
[19:18] <MTecknology> isaac__: I think xchat-gnome has some of the built in - but beyond that, i don't have a clue
[19:18] <binarymutant> blood_, nmap <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:18] <supravat> how to it works ?
[19:18] <headphonerush> alright, i somehow screwed up my package manager, how do i check for broken packages and permissions, etc?
[19:19] <MTecknology> headphonerush: apt-get install -f
[19:19] <headphonerush> i'll try
[19:19] <MTecknology> headphonerush: that fixes broken packages

[19:20] <supravat> hi kasbalaji
[19:20] <aflack> k
[19:20] <Neaai> aflack: am going through some debugging too.
[19:20] <F-3000> For a note: Someone asked about "Grub error 17", I found out that it's about BIOS' dissability to find /boot from further than 8Gb on the HD.
[19:20] <supravat> where r u from ?
[19:21] <emobus> went with SoundConverter, ty guys
[19:21] <ksbalaji> supravat, hello! This is a surprise. I see none responding immediately here on entering. Mostly busy with helping.
[19:23] <veros> who is using ubuntu right now?
[19:23] <csilk> me -_-
[19:23] <Trashlord> me
[19:23] <Pici> veros: Whats the point of asking that in an Ubuntu support channel?
[19:23] <Trashlord> who's drunk right now?
[19:24] <headphonerush> MTecknology: i tried that command but it didn't work, tried to install the medibuntu repository earlier through the command line but my system still seems to be stuck there, i'm getting the message "is not known on line 1 of source list" then gives the medibuntu address
[19:24] <ksbalaji> veros, I use and I always use ubuntu and ubuntu  only
[19:24] <MTecknology> headphonerush: pastebin what's going on
[19:24] <legend2440> Trashlord: you?
[19:24] <CaptainMorgan> veros, I am.
[19:24] <Trashlord> well, semi, I guess
[19:24] <Trashlord> but it's cool, you know?
[19:25] <ksbalaji> veros, maybe you want to ask who does not use ubuntu?!
[19:26] <predator363> so....who wants to help me fix dpkg?
[19:26] <csilk> any reason for the ctcp version?
[19:26] <csilk> veros,  ^
[19:27] <scunizi> If I have an install with /home located in the same partition as / but I also have another /home located on a different partition can I just make the reference change in fstab so the system uses the different partition?
[19:27] <headphonerush> ' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list        this is what comes up when i type the apt-get install -f command
[19:27] <veros> yes, wanted to see what client people use in ubuntu , is that not clear?
[19:27] <Helminthe> csilk: it would be quite hilarious to find out that half of us are using mirc ;)
[19:27] <csilk> mirc, ewww nasty
[19:27] <ninfomane> predator363, what's your problem with dpkg ?!
[19:28] <scunizi> veros, most every one here is using ubuntu with few exceptions..
[19:28] <EeVeeTzA> Help: I need to instal VirtualBox on ubuntu notebook that is not connected to the internet. Solution?
[19:28] <almostautomated> Hello all :)  Is there a setting for the 'Package Installer' that will make the 'terminal' window output always be visible?
[19:28] <predator363> ninfomane: ronzo seems to think its broken based on this paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/60626/ becouse we were suposed to be installing jocky or something
[19:29] <rubyx> EeVeeTzA, get the .deb on a usb stick ?
[19:29] <MTecknology> !pastebin | headphonerush
[19:29] <MTecknology> !coc > headphonerush
[19:29] <ksbalaji> veros, Xchat here - But may I know why you take poll?
[19:29] <EeVeeTzA> rubyx: I try that, but it is asking for internet conection to download 2 packeges
[19:30] <scunizi> EeVeeTzA, you need the deb and the kernel support package in ubuntu's repos.. get the deb from the vbox site.
[19:30] <Helminthe> EeVeeTzA: find what packages are needed for build-essential, then download virtualbox from sun, copy everything on an usb or something and run dpkg -i *
[19:30] <MTecknology> headphonerush: Run this -> "rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" Then apt-get update
[19:30] <veros> ksbalaji, to pretend an ubuntu user
[19:30] <milligan> Anyone else experiencing firefox being very unstable? Mine keeps crashing all the time .. especially when I'm using my wysiwyg webmail.
[19:30] <Daremonai> which port should i forward so that i can access vnc from outside my router?
[19:31] <ninfomane> predator363, and by sudo apt-get autoremove
[19:31] <ninfomane> or something like that ?!
[19:31] <Helminthe> almostautomated: open the 'terminal' window and type apt-get update && apt-get upgrade :)
[19:31] <EeVeeTzA> I will try dpkg
[19:31] <EeVeeTzA> 10x
[19:31] <calwig> does anyone know how to configure the bluetooth in hardy to download incoming files from a remote device to a specific folder?
[19:31] <sparkey> hello, trying to make a kpkg-clean but some errors keep bugging me. Makefile:518: /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>/arch/xen/Makefile: No such file or directory ,,,,, make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>/arch/xen/Makefile'.  Stop.
[19:32] <swajak> anyone know where I can find the 'working tree' mentioned in this quote:  "Other ways include doing the same in the bzrlib/plugins directory of your bzr working tree"
[19:32] <almostautomated> Helminthe: cute ;)  I like to 'open with package installer' when using FF, but I also like the terminal output
[19:32] <csilk> veros,  on freenode, userinfo and time just do version afaik
[19:32] <predator363> ninfomane: it said 0installed 0removed 1 not fully installed or removed
[19:32] <azhar27> !alien

[19:33] <azhar27> Can Alien convert .tar.gz files to .deb ?
[19:33] <veros> csilk, what do you mean?
[19:33] <csilk> n/m i'm busy on the phone
[19:34] <kjetil_> #rlug
[19:34] <predator363> ninfomane: also i got a crash report that sais something about xauthorizations
[19:34] <ninfomane> predator363, I don't really how to fix it. perhaps, you should rebuild the package list
[19:34] <predator363> ninfomane: how to rebuild?
[19:34] <ksbalaji> veros, don't you think Ubuntu is serious and has hundreds if not millions of users? Please check up for yourself.
[19:34] <veros> ksbalaji, and?
[19:35] <predator363> veros: 6 million users as a rough guestimate as it is free and not tracked
[19:35] <Azhi_Dahaka> hi, i installed xmbc but it freezes my computer
[19:35] <ninfomane> predator363, maybe when you change source.list and apt-get update
[19:35] <ninfomane> maybe
[19:35] <predator363> ninfomane: um....im noob
[19:35] <veros> so what???
[19:36] <ninfomane> predator363, comment a repository in /etc/apt/source.list and execute "sudo apt-get update"
[19:36] <Helminthe> almostautomated: just tried, and you do have an interesting point. still, messages would scroll very quick if you called dpkg so not very useful either
[19:36] <ksbalaji> veros, I had this type of thought two years back. Now I am a happy Ubuntu user. Forgotten Mycrowsopt longback.
[19:37] <veros> ksbalaji, my time will come too
[19:37] <veros> ksbalaji, but not now
[19:37] <peter771> I am using firestarter for my iptables frontend, I've noticed it only allows one device to be selected for the internet however I alternate as I use a laptop (ethernet at home wireless when in uni)
[19:37] <evan_> i need help installing an AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter on my laptop
[19:37] <peter771> is there a way to have it defect to the one which is active?
[19:38] <Helminthe> almostautomated: a simple shell that does apt-cache show $1, dpkg -i, read will do the trick
[19:38] <evan_> i need help installing AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
[19:38] <almostautomated> Helminthe: agreed; 'not very useful'; yet being someone who like to watch text scroll by vs a swirling pointer...  It at least should stick with the current setting between packages of the same installation session
[19:38] <almostautomated> Helminthe: I'll give it a try
[19:38] <headphonerush> legend2440:  how do i open that?  i'm a new to linux...
[19:39] <evan_> does anyone have experience installing Atheros wireless adaptors
[19:39] <legend2440> headphonerush: in terminal   gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[19:39] <ksbalaji> veros, Definitely - and a warning - Please do not expect Linux to be exactly like PAID OS. -It is better.

[19:40] <veros> ksbalaji, I know what linux is, and...     Is it safe to install that on Ubuntu 8.04 ?   Thanks
[19:41] <evan_> im not sure how to use madwifi
[19:41] <blip-> (i checked in the repo it's not there)
[19:41] <FFEMTcJ> what would you recommend for a download manager and why?
[19:41] <a1len> evan_, did you do wubi?
[19:42] <evan_> wubi?
[19:42] <a1len> evan_, did you install it on its own partition via the live CD?
[19:42] <avar> evan_: Yes, and the first step to getting it working is to figure out if it's supported under linux and by what driver
[19:42] <ksbalaji> veros, I too never paid for moygrowsoppt but felt guilty and changed over. Now I am a free sovereign owner of a very good free OS.
[19:42] <Helminthe> avar: there is no "proprietary madwifi driver" anymore. this is a very very good thing imho. what it's called now is ath9k
[19:43] <evan_> what do you mean
[19:43] <a1len> evan_, did you boot the ubuntu install with a CD?
[19:43] <headphonerush> legend2440:  i have the list, now what?
[19:43] <peter771> I am looking for an advanced firewall frontend for ubuntu gutsy, does anyone have any recommendations?
[19:43] <evan_> yes
[19:44] <veros> ksbalaji, I am too much deep in ms for now and no time for shifting os + no guilty feelings (I'm shameless)
[19:44] <a1len> evan_, yeah, you'll want to use madwifi. one second, I'
[19:44] <rootsnatch> peter771: The gui for UFW
[19:44] <a1len> ll link you something
[19:44] <a1len> it'll help

[19:47] <Helminthe> evan_: the solution a1len offers is ok, except that you don't have build-essential packages on the live cd. you do have ndiswrapper though. try using the windows xp driver first, get online, and then do the madwifi steps

[20:01] <Caleb|> Please.
[20:01] <Helminthe> CaptainMorgan: hardware raid means paying for a hardware solution, one that takes care of monitoring if your disks spin, that the data gets to them intact, maybe a battery-backed buffer to improve speed and reliability..
[20:01] <nivin> once i saved my session. how to i undone it?
[20:01] <Caleb|> I'm in quite a bit of a tight spot.

[20:02] <CaptainMorgan> Helminthe, which do you employ and/or prefer?
[20:02] <Caleb|> Someone please help.

[20:03] <scriptx> Caleb| what did you do prior thtat happening?
[20:03] <Pici> scriptx: Ask something beyond 'is anyone'.
[20:03] <CaptainMorgan> Helminthe, I understand the basics... what I'm concerned about is whether Ubuntu provides a stable software solution to this... or whether I should purchase a hardware controller
[20:03] <MajorC> ajopaul, where to get more information on how to approach this matter?
[20:03] <scriptx> Pici: i'm considering replacing a slackware server with ubuntu server, but wanted some perspective first.
[20:04] <ajopaul> _mora: what does ur /etc/resolv.conf have ?
[20:04] <scriptx> Pici:  no need to be a prick.
[20:04] <nivin> KenBiz, I clicked (Remember Currently Running Aps) under Session Preference
[20:04] <scriptx> Caleb|: also, what bootloader are you using?
[20:04] <Caleb|> I just booted from my USB drive.  I downloaded Ubuntu from the website (the iso file, 8.04) and put it into Unetbootin,.
[20:04] <ajopaul> MajorC: http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2Fcommunity%2FBinaryDriverHowto%2FATI&ei=tyf-SPGjPIqEsQO_-Igz&usg=AFQjCNEVa0g6UZ67GDypa0RdcpqtfMDBVQ&sig2=LWV03Ple5-04sj79KZJO6Q
[20:04] <KenBW2> nivin: yea, pick that option on the login screen
[20:04] <Caleb|> I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a newbie.  I'm not amazing at tech stuff.
[20:04] <_mora> (should i pastebin the output?)
[20:05] <Helminthe> CaptainMorgan: software cannot supplement the lack of a battery when power fails. Nor can it watch a hard disk unless the (cheaper) hardware controller reports accurately its status. so..
[20:05] <scriptx> i'm unfamilar with the usb ubuntu
[20:05] <headphonerush> legend2440:  just saw your last message, will try
[20:05] <scriptx> but you're booting it, and it returns no linux kernel image found?
[20:05] <nivin> KenBW2, ok let me try thanks
[20:05] <legend2440> headphonerush: ok lets rename that file and try again in terminal type   sudo mv etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list.old   and try update again   ok?
[20:05] <Caleb|> Yeah.
[20:06] <Caleb|> That's what I get.
[20:06] <stumpy_> Does anyone know where the dpkg irc channel is ?
[20:06] <KenBW2> stumpy_: whats the question
[20:06] <scriptx> well i doubt you were supposed to compile and include your own kernel.. perhaps the image didn't write correctly?
[20:06] <F-3000> !dpkg
[20:06] <scriptx> do you have the resources to re-download and try agan?
[20:06] <cyris|> i need to install some ldap tools that will allow me to do some queries against an ldap server. isn't their a package called openldap-tools or something that will give me ldapsearch?
[20:06] <ajopaul> _mora: may be u have not put a valid or working nameserver try adding "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" to /etc/resolv.conf
[20:06] <Caleb|> Yeah.
[20:06] <Caleb|> Sure.
[20:06] <scriptx> that would be a good first try
[20:06] <MajorC> ajopaul, thanks for helping me out
[20:06] <Caleb|> Or maybe I should try to boot ubuntu on another computer to see if it works.
[20:06] <j0nr> evening all
[20:07] <Caleb|> Would that be helpful>
[20:07] <j0nr> can anyone help me with a wireless card issue?
[20:07] <stumpy_> how do i make "Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !" work it does not know if im piping it or not...
[20:07] <_mora> ajopaul:  should i put it at the top or bottom of the other entries?
[20:07] <j0nr> i have a broadcom f5d7000 'nearly' working
[20:07] <scriptx> Pici:  i like how your only input to this channel is to troll a newcomber and how they formulated a question.  that's a real shame.
[20:08] <ajopaul> _mora:  at the top
[20:08] <_mora> ah!  that fixed it, ajopaul.
[20:08] <_mora> you are my new hero.  :)
[20:08] <ajopaul> _mora: NP :)
[20:08] <Caleb|> Scriptx:  would that be helpful, to try to boot ubuntu from another computer?  I've already tried formatting the usb and then running UnetBootin again.
[20:08] <nivin> suggest me a good torrent downloder application
[20:09] <Pici> scriptx: I can't help if you didn't ask a question, I didn't mean to make it sound annoyed.  Anyway, our channel guidelines can be found in the channel topic.
[20:09] <j0nr> broadcom wireless card shows up as installed but does not detect wireless network
[20:09] <headphonerush> legend2440:  no such file or directory
[20:10] <ajopaul> j0nr: have checked this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom
[20:10] <legend2440> headphonerush: can i pm?
[20:10] <scriptx> ok, boss.
[20:10] <chao1> hello. I installed a theme on my computer that changes the look of the login prompt when my screen is locked. I can't remember what that is called and was wondering if anyone knows
[20:10] <nkei0> so how do i paste from an upgrade details window?
[20:10] <nivin> some body please suggest me a good torrent application
[20:10] <nkei0> or rather copy
[20:10] <_mora> i use deluge
[20:10] <Killeroid> nivin: deluge
[20:10] <_mora> (for torrents)
[20:10] <stumpy_> nivin: vuze
[20:10] <_mora> it's GTK-specific, so if you're in KDE it might not be optimal
[20:11] <nivin> killeroid, i am using that one any other
[20:11] <legend2440> headphonerush: ok to private message?
[20:11] <headphonerush> legend2440:  yeah that's coo
[20:11] <headphonerush> l
[20:11] <Killeroid> nivin: deluge is the best around IMO, you can also try transmission
[20:11] <nkei0> I'm in the intrepid ibex beta, and i am doing a partial upgrade (some wouldn't work for some reason) and it's seemed to have paused on the cleaning up section, how do i copy it so i can nshow you guys whats wrong?
[20:12] <j0nr> ajopaul: thanks...but i think i am a bit lost... i have followed many guides and none seem to go to plan...
[20:12] <chao1> (*) Can anyone tell me what the login prompt is called where you login from a locked screen
[20:12] <Daremonai> My ISP has some problems with certain websites, such as intel.com, it can't load it due to some routing issues (or so they told me), is there a way to be able to get to these websites? is it a DNS (can i use openDNS?) or do i have to use a proxy?
[20:12] <j0nr> ajopaul: its kinda there but not 'on'
[20:13] <Isis> Daremonai: if it really is a routing issue, get a new ISP. But it might just be a DNS issue. I use OpenDNS quite successfully
[20:13] <nivin> killeriod, ktorrent is little more faster i thing
[20:13] <andycan> I cant figure out, how do i make gtk themes work? Every time i install a theme, it goes back to fail-safe theme (grey, very minimalistic). Im using system-pref-appearance to install a theme. Tried installing over 10 themes with same results
[20:13] <Xima1> can anyone here tell me how to turn off the autostarting of Xserver which brings me into this gui whenever I boot my machine ?
[20:14] <Daremonai> Isis, I already use their DNS, can I include more than one?
[20:14] <scriptx> Xima1: it depends on the runlevel you are booting into
[20:14] <scriptx> what would you prefer?
[20:14] <Isis> Daremonai: Yes - but the first one that resolves will be used.
[20:14] <nivin> how can i check a port is opened and how can i open a port?
[20:14] <Xima1> well scriptx : i want to be able to run irssi and rtorrent when i boot... in text mode
[20:14] <Isis> Daremonai: gotta go - sorry.
[20:14] <Xima1> that's all to be honest...
[20:14] <Daremonai> Isis, no worry, and thanks
[20:14] <scriptx> which bootloader do you use, Xima1?  Grub?
[20:15] <Daremonai> worries*
[20:15] <Xima1> aye
[20:15] <Xima1> super grub did my boot loader for me
[20:15] <scriptx> Xima1: is aye a yes?
[20:15] <dulak> Xima1: system-> administration -> services, unlock it then uncheck the graphical login manager or gdm
[20:15] <scriptx> ok, as root, look in /boot/grub, is there a mnu.lst file?
[20:15] <CaptainMorgan> can anyone recommend a hardware controller they're using that is compatible with Ubuntu ?
[20:15] <CaptainMorgan> hardware raid 1 controller
[20:15] <nivin> how can i check a port is opened and how can i open a port?
[20:16] <scriptx> nivin your question doesn't make much sense without any context
[20:16] <scriptx> nivin:  a port for what?  what is your goal
[20:17] <nivin> scriotx, how can i check a port is opened or not?
[20:17] <kindofabuzz> put your finger in it
[20:18] <nivin> scriptx, to check a specific port is opened or not
[20:18] <ajopaul> j0nr: what does /sbin/iwlist scan return ?
[20:18] <scriptx> well there are multiple ways..
[20:18] <scriptx> you can do a netstat -an, to see if one is listening locally
[20:18] <scriptx> or you can try telnet <host> <port> (assuming it's a TCP port)
[20:18] <KenBW2> nivin: did it fix your problem?
[20:19] <calwig> does anyone know how to configure the bluetooth in hardy to download incoming files from a remote device to a specific folder?
[20:19] <j0nr> ajopaul: wlan0 No scan results
[20:19] <j0nr> ajopaul: the lights on the card aren't on which doesn't look right
[20:19] <KenBW2> calwig: try "Bluetooth file sharing" in Add/Remove
[20:19] <nivin> scritx, let me try thanks
[20:19] <j0nr> but the computer knows it is there
[20:19] <yfk> does my "print to pdf" printer have windows drivers so jobs may be sent over network?
[20:20] <nivin> KenBWZ, Let me try
[20:21] <Ximal> hello.. just wandering if you can see this , snip ?
[20:21] <stumpy_> Does anyone know how to make dpkg -lI "gedit" work ? it gives an error about "Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !"?
[20:21] <erUSUL> stumpy_: pipe it through `less' or `more' --> dpkg -lI "gedit" | less
[20:22] <nivin> Good night to all
[20:22] <nivin> Thanks.......
[20:22] <ThePandemic82> Hello.  How do i completely uninstall nvidia graphics driver in 8.10??
[20:22] <Ximal> ok i did the graphical kill but it did not work.. i was wandering if there's a less laggy version than irssi that's able to be ran from terminal ?
[20:22] <stumpy_> erUSUL sure i know how to pipe but dpkg does not know im :P
[20:22] <calwig> does anyone know about bluetooth or a bluetooth forum for Dell laptops?
[20:22] <LjL> j0nr: does it show up when you type "ifconfig"?
[20:23] <LjL> !bluetooth | calwig
[20:23] <Ximal> anything ?
[20:23] <LjL> Ximal, what in the world are you actually talking about? :)
[20:24] <broonsparrow> how can I run a email mailing list from ubuntu? I currently use group mail on windows but that's the only thing I now boot up into Windows for (apart from Civ 4!) so if I can find a way of doing it in ubuntu that'd be good.
[20:24] <calwig> LjL: thank uu :)
[20:24] <j0nr> LjL: yes
[20:24] <Ximal> I am trying to go just text based and not have to start x or any visual program unless needed...
[20:24] <Ximal> and irssi is soo lagged that it's unreal
[20:24] <erUSUL> broonsparrow: mailman is the most used package. majordomo is also used
[20:25] <calwig> LjL: actually it works, i would just like to change the download folder of the receiving files
[20:25] <stumpy_> erUSUL: went I pipe it. it gives the same error.... I need to pass a flag to dpkg but i can not find it.
[20:25] <LjL> Ximal, irssi itself isn't "lagged", your connection might be
[20:25] <j0nr> LjL: actually no sorry, but it does if i do iwconfig
[20:25] <Mixed_--_> anyone knows how to connect to a samba share from ubuntu?  I can connect from a windows machine just using my machine's host name, I can't connect from within ubuntu!
[20:25] <scriptx> hi, Xima1
[20:25] <erUSUL> stumpy_: the problem is -I that option does not exist for dpkg
[20:25] <scriptx> where did you go before?  I was trying to help you.
[20:25] <j0nr> wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:""   Mode:Managed  Channel:0  Access Point: Not-Associated    Tx-Power=0 dBm    Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B    Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0
[20:25] <LjL> j0nr: ok, then try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", then see if it shows up in "iwconfig", and if it does, try the scanning again
[20:26] <scriptx> Xima1 We need to change your runlevel to 3 in grub.
[20:26] <Ximal> nah... xchat is getting .1 s lag while irssi is getting 15 to 30 seconds of lag..
[20:26] <erUSUL> Ximal: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[20:26] <erUSUL> Ximal: hatr will disable the boot of X window
[20:26] <erUSUL> that*
[20:26] <Killeroid> what is the command for killing a process and prevent it from restarting?
[20:27] <erUSUL> scriptx: runlevels are all equal in debian/ubuntu they all launch X window by default
[20:27] <Ximal> hatr ?
[20:27] <j0nr> LjL: its weird, it shows in iwconfig but not in ifcinfig
[20:27] <erUSUL> Ximal: that*
[20:27] <Ximal> aye erusul : many thanks..
[20:27] <scriptx> they do, erUSUL?
[20:27] <LjL> j0nr: it's not weird if it's not up. does it show in "ifconfig -a"?
[20:28] <erUSUL> Ximal: fat fingers and sllepy state leads to keyboard disaster XXDD
[20:28] <scriptx> that's news to me..
[20:28] <j0nr> LjL: yes
[20:28] <broonsparrow> ty erUSUL I'll give them a try.
[20:28] <erUSUL> scriptx: yes they are all equal by default (except 0-1 and 6 of course)
[20:28] <GaMbi_DK> crdlb, are you there? :)
[20:28] <Ximal> so now i just have to type startx if i want to go graphical.. correct ? erusul ?
[20:29] <erUSUL> Ximal: yep or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[20:29] <LjL> Ximal: or "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start"
[20:29] <j0nr> LjL: jonrserv@jcrserver:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[20:29] <j0nr> SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[20:29] <piasdom> hello

[20:29] <Ximal> azy* ... <--- has fat fingers too ..
[20:29] <Ximal> lazy * rather..
[20:29] <tMish> Doesn't ubuntu use 'upstart' ?
[20:30] <Ximal> im going to reboot the pc now to see what kind of trouble i've done..
[20:30] <nkei0> how do i copy text from the terminal?
[20:30] <LjL> j0nr: what do "cat /proc/net/wireless" and "cat /proc/net/dev" say? (use the pastebin please)
[20:30] <piasdom> highlight it then right click
[20:31] <LjL> nkei0: select, right click, and copy.
[20:31] <nkei0> LjL it won't let me get a menu, because it's during an upgrade
[20:31] <_mora> ...Okay, correction.  Apparently my DNS resolution is still sporadic and I don't know why that worked earlier.  Can't resolve domains I haven't visited, still - however, I tried using ifup/ifdown and it said that eth0 doesn't exist.  What now?
[20:31] <LjL> nkei0: then you're in a virtual terminal? text mode?
[20:32] <piasdom> how do i backup my system and drivers ?
[20:32] <nkei0> like it paused so i clicked on details
[20:32] <GaMbi_DK> crdlb, remember my TV-out issue with separate X screen? and / or Twinview: not being able to drag movies to TV or compiz wont work or files will put itself on the TV.. well Mandrake that smart ass bastard guided me to write a little shell script (one line) and now everything is A OK! :P
[20:32] <erUSUL> nkei0: select it then middle click to paste old good unix way
[20:32] <LjL> nkei0: ah. well if you can select the text, then you can just select it and then paste it somewhere by clicking the middle mouse button
[20:32] <LjL> if you can't select it in the first place, tough luck
[20:33] <j0nr> LjL: http://pastebin.com/m3eced2ca
[20:33] <crdlb> GaMbi_DK: what does the shell script do?
[20:33] <nkei0> i don't have middle mouse button
[20:33] <LjL> nkei0: then try clicking both buttons at the same time
[20:33] <bimberi> !backup >  piasdom
[20:33] <blacko> somebody of you can join to the channel #papirux ?
[20:33] <GaMbi_DK> crdlb, opens my videos on the TV in full screen :)
[20:33] <piasdom> bimberi: thanks
[20:33] <sleon> i have a problem, that after i hibernated my computer, it stopped starting with acpi mode on
[20:33] <stumpy_> erUSUL: thanks. 'i' is install opps! 'I' for info. it does not like '-IL' does not like both at ones
[20:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmm
[20:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> what's console kit daemon?
[20:34] <Sylphid|work> hello, i had installed another linux distro after ubuntu that reinstalled grub.... i have since removed that distro and now grub cannot find the config files in the ubuntu install
[20:34] <GaMbi_DK> crdlb, simple and allot of ppl might know how to do it.. but why havent anyone posted on the net or given me that answer on IRC? :)
[20:34] <LjL> j0nr: what card model is it again?
[20:35] <^Naveed^> Hey, when I try to ping a server using its domainname it takes several seconds before I get a reply. If I ping the same server using its ip address, I get a reply instantly. What might be the reason ?
[20:35] <j0nr> LjL: broadcom f5d7000
[20:35] <LjL> ^Naveed^: slow DNS
[20:35] <LjL> !ipv6 | ^Naveed^
[20:35] <Craihhgney> !iso
[20:35] <LjL> (that *might* be the cause)
[20:35] <bimberi> !grub > Sylphid|work
[20:35] <Azhi_Dahaka> no ideas, *people*?
[20:36] <ChaoZero> evening...
[20:37] <Sylphid|work> find /boot/grub/stage1  returns an error 15
[20:37] <ChaoZero> does anyone have experience with the RTL8187b wifi card under 8.10?
[20:37] <Sylphid|work> file not found
[20:37] <GaMbi_DK> crdlb, you seems like a guy who are on IRC 24/7.. am I the first to ask about separated X screen moves to TV? :) if not.. you could give them this info... really the only (and maybe best) thing to do! in my situation anyways..
[20:38] <LjL> j0nr: what does "sudo lshw -C network" say?
[20:38] <LjL> !8.10 | ChaoZero
[20:39] <ChaoZero> okay thank you!
[20:39] <a1len> Does anyone have Ubuntu 8.10 installed?
[20:39] <Sylphid|work> bimberi: find /boot/grub/stage1      returns Error 15: File not found
[20:39] <erUSUL> a1len: many in #ubuntu+1 ;P
[20:39] <LjL> a1len: look at the message just above the one above yours.
[20:40] <Sylphid|work> bimberi: but i know the configs are on sda6
[20:40] <LjL> a1len: ah wait, you hadn't joined. ignore me.
[20:40] <a1len> erusul, is that the 8.10 channel?
[20:40] <LjL> yes
[20:40] <erUSUL> a1len: yes
[20:40] <a1len> oh, thanks. sorry.
[20:40] <j0nr> LjL: http://pastebin.com/m2901b477
[20:41] <erUSUL> a1len: no problem
[20:41] <mifritscher> hi
[20:41] <LjL> j0nr, uhm, to me it doesn't seem like the driver for the card is fully present.
[20:41] <LjL> !broadcom | j0nr
[20:42] <mifritscher> how can I route dound from my tv-card, which appears as a alsa soundcard, and my normal soundcard?
[20:42] <LjL> j0nr: there is a thread here http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=194172 also, which describes your problem... it would make it seem like one needs to upload the firmware to the card
[20:42] <LjL> j0nr: although it's not talking about your very same model
[20:42] <j0nr> LjL: I have really been struggling to get the right driver installed in the right way... i'll try again.
[20:42] <broonsparrow> hi. i've installed mailman using synaptic package manager - but where is the programme to run it? It's not in my programme menu - everytime i've installed something in the past it's just been there,so I'm now lost (probably missing something really obvious!)
[20:43] <j0nr> LjL: thank you. I will read now.
[20:43] <LjL> j0nr: have you used a "fwcutter" tool?
[20:43] <kindofabuzz> broonsparrow, did you type mailman?
[20:43] <bimberi> Sylphid|work: not sure sorry.  That process usually works OK.
[20:43] <j0nr> LjL: yes i believe so... also the ndiswrapper
[20:43] <Soliloquial> I get great speeds on the ubuntu torrent...it's really fast
[20:43] <j0nr> LjL: found it hard to find the right driver to begin with
[20:44] <broonsparrow> kindofabuzz: where? in terminal?
[20:44] <Soliloquial> atm 1.68 MB/s
[20:44] <kindofabuzz> broonsparrow, umm umm yeah
[20:44] <LjL> j0nr: the forum thread is about fedora, so take everything with a grain of salt
[20:44] <broonsparrow> kindofabuzz: yeah - command not found
[20:45] <kouth> hi ... my ubuntu hardy is not recognizing my nvidia card 9800GT ...no metter how nvidia driver install from synaptic ..
[20:45] <Sylphid|work> bimberi: .... now im confused... now ubuntu only sees sda4 which is the holding partition for my logicals ... its not reading the logicals at all
[20:45] <bimberi> broonsparrow: mailman has a web interface, no gui.  https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/mailman.html
[20:46] <kindofabuzz> broonsparrow, mailman is something you use along with apache
[20:46] <aflack> is there any way to configure these screensavers in ubuntu
[20:47] <kindofabuzz> broonsparrow, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman
[20:47] <genius> I've just installed ubuntu on encrypted LVM, but ubuntu installator did not added PAM auth for encrypted HDD. I've created encrypted vg from two pv. I think it can't install PAM automatically. How to fix?
[20:47] <bimberi> Sylphid|work: that's what 'sudo fdisk -l' shows you?
[20:48] <j0nr> LjL: ok just ran thru fwcutter method again...going to reboot...fingers crossed
[20:48] <Danskmand> Howdy :-) - I am waiting for someone called Jim_p.....Does someone know him and how often he is online ?
[20:49] <broonsparrow> um ok. no idea what that is!  obviously more complicated that I thought! Cheers for links I'll look into it....i'll probably be back!
[20:49] <_mora> Firefox can't resolve DNS (although it seems that some other apps - like ping - can) and ifup says that the interface eth0 is unknown.  ifconfig reports that eth0 exists, however.
[20:49] <belle_> whenever I go to move a file on my desktop ubuntu creates a copy instead how do I fix that?
[20:49] <LjL> belle_: drag with the right mouse button instead of the left?

[20:50] <n3hima> does anybody know, is there a syslinux equivalent to grub's configfile command?
[20:50] <Sylphid|work> bimberi: /dev/sda4               1       12161    97683201    5  Extended .... thats all it shows
[20:50] <aflack> is there anyway to configure the screensavers in ubuntu?
[20:50] <Sylphid|work> it does not show the logical partitions at all
[20:50] <belle_> yes but before it would move by default,  somehow that got changed where do I go to change the defaults so I don't have to hold shift
[20:50] <jken146> aflack: System>Prefs>Screensaver
[20:50] <aflack> i mean configure..
[20:50] <RyanPrior> Is there Free Software for creating animated GIFs?

[20:51] <sparkey> i keep getting this while trying to make kpkg-clean :S http://paste.ubuntu.com/60657/ . I dont have that Xen folder so i can understand its nagging me about it but what is it?
[20:51] <RyanPrior> Ximal: Lots of them. Try bitchx for example.
[20:51] <Ximal> don't like bitchx
[20:51] <winter-mute> Dvd don't play at all, but drive mo8unt
[20:51] <Grim76__> RyanPrior: weechat works quite well.
[20:51] <winter-mute> mounts
[20:51] <Ximal> what's weechat ?
[20:51] <RyanPrior> Ximal: So what are you really looking for?
[20:51] <TJ-42> I want to create an ftp account that will write to the apache server's directory root -- is it safe to add the ftp user's group as ownership over the directory (changing from ownership which is currently root:root)
[20:51] <RyanPrior> Is there Free Software for creating animated GIFs?
[20:51] <belle_> bitchx has a lot of inherent vulnerabilitis try ircii

[20:52] <Grim76__> Ximal: Install weechat and try it out that is the only way that you will know if you like it or not.
[20:52] <aflack> so is there anyway to actually configure a screensaver on ubuntu?
[20:52] <Ximal> but im looking for a low latency chat program that's text based and irssi is failing me sorely
[20:52] <bimberi> Sylphid|work: Not sure about that sorry.  If no-one else here knows I'd by trying reboot, try another CD, google ...
[20:52] <Gohae> Sob

[20:54] <CCedilha> uau tons of people
[20:54] <belle_> How do I change the default action for drag and drop on my desktop, somehow it got changed to copy I would just like to rearrange the icons
[20:54] <spt_49> Does the new version of Ubuntu support password protected directories within the home directory?
[20:54] <_mora> Azhi_Dahaka, yeah - a couple, actually.
[20:55] <Caleb_> Hey, I need some help.

[20:55] <winter-mute> a question, anyone had trouble using s-ata dvd burners in linux? ... it looks like I am burnt onthat oneDISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.1"
[20:55] <belle_> ximal where would I go to check that?
[20:55] <winter-mute> iios
[20:55] <winter-mute> DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.1"
[20:55] <Caleb_> Could someone please help me?  I'm installing Ubuntu from windows desktop, so I can dual boot, because every other method I have tried has not worked.
[20:56] <Caleb_> Here is my question:  Is it possible to, once I get into Ubuntu, reformat my computer and have just Ubuntu installed?
[20:56] <Ximal> well did u try just left clicking on the desktop to see if a menu comes up ?if so it's your mouse... after that try checking your accessibility options under Syste>prefs>Assistive Technologies..
[20:56] <Lokian> Caleb_: if you wanted to reformat, why not just install ubuntu in the first place?
[20:56] <jken146> Caleb_: Yes.  Install gparted
[20:57] <LjL> Caleb_: "reformat" what?
[20:57] <nkei0> Hello, I just installed Intrepid Ibex beta, and started the upgrade, now that it's mostly done...  I get this when i click on details, what should i do?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/60660/
[20:57] <Ximal> sometimes belle_ ' you can enable by accidental press of a hotkey you didn't know you had and this will happen..
[20:57] <LjL> Caleb_: computers cannot be "reformatted". hard drive partitions can be.
[20:57] <Caleb_> It won't work.  Installing Ubuntu doesn't work, my computer won't boot up into my USB flash drive for some reason.
[20:57] <Ximal> Grim76_ ; weechat installed but won't come on when i type weechat
[20:57] <DavidCanarias> jken146: I read the following but want to blank a dvd ... sudo umount /dev/cdrom cd record dev=dv/cdrom blank fast. I changed to dvdrom and was told dev=dv/dvdrom doesn't exist. Any ideas?
[20:57] <LjL> Caleb_: don't you have a CD-ROM?
[20:57] <blood_> could any1 tell me how to redownload the apache2 httpd.conf file by itself?
[20:57] <sparkey> i keep getting this while trying to make kpkg-clean :S http://paste.ubuntu.com/60657/ . I dont have that Xen folder so i can understand its nagging me about it but what is it?
[20:58] <Caleb_> Nope.  This computer doesn't.
[20:58] <LjL> !smartbm | Caleb_, try this
[20:58] <Caleb_> I can only install via USB flash drive.
[20:58] <LjL> err... what was it called again
[20:58] <LjL> !smartbootmanager | Caleb_
[20:59] <LjL> Caleb_: smartbootmanager should let you boot from USB, hopefully. anyway, i don't see what this has to do with "getting ubuntu installed and then reformatting"
[20:59] <woli> is intrepid ibex buggy?
[20:59] <Caleb_> I'm sorry, I'm bad at wording stuff.
[20:59] <Caleb_> ^^;
[20:59] <spt_49> i have had no problems with it
[20:59] <Lokian> woli: it's a beta.
[20:59] <hwilde> !intrepid | woli
[20:59] <Robb_M> !intrepid | woli
[20:59] <hwilde> Robb_M, too slow
[20:59] <woli> thats the reason for which i asked...
[20:59] <woli> is it buggy?
[21:00] <jken146> woli: Working fine for me.  Do ask in #ubuntu+1 though :)
[21:00] <woli> ok
[21:00] <Caleb_> It's not that my computer can't boot into USB flash drive, it can.  But when I boot to USB flash drive this computer gives me an error.
[21:00] <bronzewalla> can't get wired connection to work in gutsy, can someone please help?
[21:00] <LjL> Caleb_: perhaps you should have said that... what error is it?
[21:01] <belle_> ximal no menu's pop up when i left click,  under the assistive technologies dialog I can't find anything relating to a "sticky" setting.  I'm running gutsy btw
[21:01] <eitreach> Quick question - is "Ubuntu" - the word, a registered trademark?
[21:02] <bimberi> blood_: find the package with the the file in it via http://packages.ubuntu.com - download the package - open it using the archive manager and extract the file you want
[21:02] <[Solars]> how do i 'connect' a shared printer from my network
[21:02] <jken146> eitreach: Yes, of Canonical
[21:02] <Caleb_> I'm not sure.  Want me to reboot and then tell you the error.
[21:02] <Caleb_> ?
[21:02] <eitreach> jken146: alright then. thanks.
[21:03] <Caleb_> I'll just go ahead and do that, LjL.
[21:03] <Ximal> have you tried rebooting... thinking maybe you have a stuck key or a hung process
[21:04] <Ximal> can anyone tell me the command to start weechat ?
[21:04] <bimberi> Ximal: weechat-curses
[21:04] <Ximal> tht's just wrong
[21:04] <Ximal> lol... is there a way to change it's startup command..
[21:04] <bimberi> i knew you'd say that ;)

[21:13] <bustaplz> soundray: sweet, I'll give that a try, thank you very much.

[21:13] <Danskmand> Soundray: In my /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server directory there are only links that point to themselves....Is that ok ?

[21:14] <Caleb__> On this computer (no other computer, though) whenever I try and install ubuntu from my flash drive (thumb drive, pen drive) I get the error "Could not find Kernel Image: Linux".   - You just opened my eyes !! - the links are in /linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server, the links point to /linux-headers-2.6.24-19    !!!! - without the "server" !!! that means I will have to install the header-files for the "normal" 2.6.24-19 !! - Not the server one !!
[21:16] <Caleb__> I came on here for a little friendly help, it's not necessary to call me a "POS"

[21:18] <csilk> j0nr, you got wifi problems?
[21:18] <soundray> Shakedown: top or gnome-system-monitor
[21:18] <j0nr> csilk: yup
[21:18] <Shakedown> I'm not doing anything, why is 20% of my RAM in use as cache?
[21:18] <Caleb__> But, seriously.  Could someone help me boot up into the Ubuntu install?

[21:21] <TheFiller> What about the stable version of Ubuntu? Are those ISO images of the alternate CD updated regularely?
[21:21] <Sylphid|work> im having problems...... I had installed ubuntu and another distro  (ubuntu first) ... the 2nd distro reinstalled grub..... i just removed the second distro leaving only ubuntu and now it wont boot ..... attempting to reinstall grub isnt working either as all my ubuntu partitions are logical and the live cd is no longer recognizing them
[21:21] <soundray> lucax: your question is unanswerable, as it depends on the kind of flash memory installed in either. It's also offtopic -- try ##hardware
[21:21] <fryguy--> I've got a package on my system that I don't want to upgrade. I've use aptitude to hold the package back manually, and locked it at it's current version, but the update manager still continues to prompt me to update the package, is there anything I can do to make package manager ignore this package?

[21:21] <macvr> Shakedown: if RAM isnt used it gets progressively cached... its not bad

[21:22] <Flannel> !es | Oakenfold_xD
[21:22] <csilk> j0nr,  sometimes the hardware lights don't work without another driver, that usually isn't a problem
[21:22] <Gohae> I responded :(
[21:22] <Shakedown> macvr: That's why system monitor says I've got 3.2 GB of RAM when I have 4 GB installed, or that's why 20% of my RAM is in use as cache and I'm not doing anything?
[21:22] <j0nr> csilk: ok...it doesn't scan
[21:22] <CHaiNS> can somebody point me to how to install the newest kde4 in ubuntu 8.10 please?? thanks...
[21:23] <soundray> Sylphid|work: how do you mean 'no longer recognizing' the partitions?
[21:23] <fryguy--> Shakedown: you can't use 4GB of ram on a 32-bit system
[21:23] <Oakenfold_xD> Sorry, ok, thx, I go From #ubuntu-es .. Thx .. Ubuntu is ANALSEX! Good !
[21:23] <j0nr> csilk: /sbin/iwlist scan returns wlan0 no scan results
[21:23] <isilion> hi! i need help with an ati radeon 9800 pro. im in xubuntu 8.10, im using the latest driver (the one that has been released last week from canonical). games or compiz freezes the skin. when i use "grep agp", console hangs (thats symptom of anything?), but fgl_glxgears works.
[21:23] <macvr> Shakedown:  why 20% of my RAM is in use as cache and I'm not doing anything?
[21:23] <GaMbi_DK> Hi guys.. anyone who can tell me how I can have my NTFS drive auto mounted? I can rw with no problems when I manual mount.. but id like it to be mounted on startup.. fstab:"/dev/sad2    /media/Stash    auto [what to put here]" ?
[21:24] <Shakedown> fryguy: Ah, so...uh...did I waste my money getting 4 GB of RAM or can I switch to a 64-bit system (is it even recommended)?
[21:24] <pingu_> Hallo
[21:24] <Shakedown> macvr: Oh, thanks
[21:24] <fryguy--> Shakedown: just switch to 64-bit
[21:24] <Caleb__> On this computer (no other computer, though) whenever I try and install ubuntu from my flash drive (thumb drive, pen drive) I get the error "Could not find Kernel Image: Linux".  Some help would be great, thanks.
[21:24] <Shakedown> fryguy: is it just that easy?
[21:24] <fryguy--> Shakedown: yes
[21:25] <Shakedown> fryguy: Where can I found out if I have 32 or 64 bit system?
[21:25] <Sylphid|work> soundray, fdisk -l only shows the extended partition sda4 which houses 5 other partitions..... but the others arnt found only sda4 is
[21:25] <fryguy--> Shakedown: uname -a will tell you
[21:25] <csilk> Shakedown, what cpu you got?
[21:25] <fryguy--> I've got a package on my system that I don't want to upgrade. I've use aptitude to hold the package back manually, and locked it at it's current version, but the update manager still continues to prompt me to update the package, is there anything I can do to make package manager ignore this package?
[21:26] <Danskmand> soundray: YOU MADE MY DAY !!! - One "sudo apt-get remove  linux-headers-2.6.24-19 linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server" and an install did it !!!!!!
[21:26] <Caleb__> Is there any way to fix this problem?
[21:26] <a1> some one want to know how to Connect from USB wireless card?
[21:26] <pingu_> anyone knows a good GUI program for (X)Ubuntu to define which single files should be backuped to f.e. /home/me/backup-YYMMDD when i start it or maybe periodically?
[21:26] <Danskmand> soundray: I've been sitting her for 2 whole days and getting more and more blind about what could be wrong....
[21:26] <Shakedown> csilk: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20 GHZ

[21:28] <soundray> Caleb__: it's not worth repeating your question at this frequency. Nobody knows an answer for you at the moment -- please give it 10 or 15 minutes, then ask again as new people will have joined
[21:28] <csilk> Shakedown, isn't that a 64bit cpu?
[21:28] <Shakedown> fryguy: uname -a gives me this: Linux <my machine name> 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[21:28] <fryguy--> Shakedown: so 32-bit
[21:28]  * Danskmand hands a lifelong coupon for "Hawaiian ice tea" to soundray....
[21:28] <Caleb__> Soundray:  That hurts me.  That hurts me down here.  *points to heart*
[21:28] <Shakedown> csilk: I don't know...I bought my desktop from Dell a few weeks ago
[21:28] <csilk> yeah, your os is 32bit looking at your uname output
[21:29] <Sylphid|work> soundray, sda4=extended sda5=/ sda6=/boot sda7=/home  sda8=swap  sda9=fat partition
[21:29] <Shakedown> fryguy: where does it say 32 bit?
[21:29] <Bit_Breaker> Caleb: what is the issue
[21:29] <csilk> Shakedown,  1686 = 32bit
[21:29] <fryguy--> Shakedown: i686 = 32bit
[21:29] <csilk> snap, i win :D
[21:29] <Shakedown> Ah, what's 64 bit look like then?
[21:29] <Shakedown> ha
[21:29] <lucax> Shakedown, i686
[21:29] <huayra> bug #1
[21:29] <fryguy--> Shakedown: x86_64
[21:29] <huayra> !bug #1
[21:29] <huayra> mmm
[21:29] <soundray> Sylphid|work: how do you get this listing? fdisk?
[21:29] <niuq> hi, i'm using sbackup tool, but it does not seems to do nothing at all, there is anything i can do to test if everything it is well configured?
[21:30] <Shakedown> So, is it better to be on a 64 bit OS?
[21:30] <Sylphid|work> soundray, fdisk -l
[21:30] <soundray> Thanks Danskmand
[21:30]  * soundray looks at coupon, wondering...
[21:30] <Caleb__> Bit_Breaker:  Whenever I boot up from my flash drive I get "Could not find kernel image: linux"
[21:30] <Gnea> Shakedown: depends what you want to do... in general, yes
[21:30] <zap> Hello! Anybody knows if it's possible to leave DHCP client running, my DHCP server has a 1 day lease expiration time and I have to disable/enable interface after that to get it registerd again.
[21:30] <soundray> Sylphid|work: so what do you mean by "the others aren't found"?
[21:30] <GaMbi_DK> whats a good program for downloading torrents from ubuntu
[21:31] <Shakedown> Gnea: What are the cases when I DON'T want 64 bit?
[21:31] <fryguy--> zap: dhclient stays running automatically
[21:31] <Bit_Breaker> Caleb: did u install ubuntu on Usb?
[21:31] <Gnea> zap: most dhcp clients stay running
[21:31] <isilion> Hi! "grep agp" hang my console. anyone help?
[21:31] <fryguy--> Shakedown: pretty much nothing
[21:31] <JewStyleKungFu> If someone accidentally overwrites a folder in XP, and subsequently loses files in subfolders, is there an open source utility I could use to recover those files from the hard drive?
[21:31] <Gnea> Shakedown: when something won't work in 64-bit
[21:31] <fryguy--> isilion: press ctrl-c, and read the manpage on grep for proper usage
[21:31] <zap> Gnea: indeed, just looked at it and its in the process list
[21:31] <Sylphid|work> soundray, hope i didnt add to confusion.... the partitions are from memory with the except of sda4
[21:31] <fryguy--> GaMbi_DK: rtorrent
[21:31] <zap> In this case I don't understand why it does not renew the lease
[21:31] <a1> any1 have problem to SETUP USB wireless card ???
[21:31] <Bit_Breaker> Caleb: what version of Ubuntu?
[21:31] <a1> some1*
[21:31] <soundray> Sylphid|work: so your partition table is wrecked?
[21:31] <Caleb__> Bit_Breaker: I used UnetBootin to put it on USB flash drive.
[21:32] <Caleb__> Bit_Breaker:  It's 8.04.
[21:32] <Sylphid|work> soundray, sda4 is the only partition shown by fdisk -l
[21:32] <Gnea> zap: well, without the client running, the connection would drop if the server decided that it didn't like the mac address of the system
[21:32] <soundray> Sylphid|work: I've used gpart once to recover from a similar situation
[21:32] <Shakedown> Hah, so if I've got the hardware to support 64-bit I should switch? Will a google search lead me in the right direction or is it as simple as a single command line?
[21:32] <soundray> !info gpart | Sylphid|work
[21:32] <Caleb__> Bit Breaker:  Also, whenever I boot up with another computer using my USB drive, Ubuntu works.
[21:32] <Sylphid|work> soundray, thanks ill give that a whirl
[21:32] <mercutio22> what is the application that lets me access gconf?
[21:32] <soundray> Sylphid|work: another program that is designed to fix such problems is testdisk
[21:32] <Gnea> zap: leases only get renewed every so often - whatever is set on the server
[21:32] <soundray> !info testdisk | Sylphid|work
[21:33] <soundray> Sylphid|work: please read the docs carefully, your data is in danger
[21:33] <Mixed432> anyone knows of a graphical client for samba???
[21:33] <WesGniel> I just installed hardy inside of windows, I have 3 gigs of ram and a 1.8 ghz system. My keyboard is very very slow in responding. My mouse responds normally and everything responds normally. I checked the keyboard settings including assessability and they appear to be set correctly I check ram and cpu usage and they are fine. What should I do to speed up my keyboard response?
[21:33] <Flannel> mercutio22: gconf-editor
[21:33] <mercutio22> Flannel: thanks
[21:33] <Sylphid|work> soundray, is it ill advised to resize an extended partition?
[21:33] <Bit_Breaker> Caleb: try this way http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
[21:34] <Sylphid|work> soundray, for future reference
[21:34] <Lokian> WesGniel: NOT use hardy inside windows. or clean your keyboard
[21:34] <_mora> Firefox can't resolve DNS (although it seems that some other apps - like ping - can) and ifup says that the interface eth0 is unknown.  ifconfig reports that eth0 exists, however.
[21:34] <Lokian> WesGniel: hardy is a tad slower if you use it inside windows
[21:34] <WesGniel> thanks lokian
[21:34] <Lokian> WesGniel: i'd believe that to be your case
[21:35] <DavidCanarias> Using the terminal can anyone tell me the command for blanking a DVD. Is it sudo umount /dev/cdrom
[21:35] <DavidCanarias> cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom blank=fast   but changing cdrom to DVDrom?????
[21:35] <Gnea> _mora: if the interface exists and no ip is attached to it, and no default route is set, and your /etc/resolv.conf doesn't have any dns servers, then yes, firefox is operating as it should
[21:35] <soundray> Sylphid|work: I wouldn't have thought so, but I would always shrink the contained logical ones first, then the extended one
[21:35] <soundray> Sylphid|work: and if you're enlarging, enlarge the extended first, then the contained ones.
[21:36] <Caleb__> Bit_Breaker:  I don't have a computer running Linux.
[21:36] <Caleb__> Bit_Breaker: All my computers run Windows.
[21:36] <sparkey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/60657/ . Someone plz :(
[21:36] <Bit_Breaker> Caleb: oh ok . do u have any Linux VM`s
[21:36] <_mora> Gnea: resolv.conf does indeed have dns nameservers.
[21:36] <Gnea> _mora: can you ping them?
[21:37] <Caleb__> Bit_Breaker: No.
[21:37] <macvr> csilk soundray : guys i have this file /boot/initrd.gz and when i open it it points has the older kernel 24-19... is this normal? why i'm concerned is because the default option in my grub points to this initrd file... though i have an option in the grub for 24-21 & 24-19 kernels... is this normal?
[21:37] <Shakedown> So if I've got the hardware to support 64-bit I should switch? Will a google search lead me in the right direction or is it as simple as a single command line?
[21:37] <_mora> Gnea: yes.  I can also view some sites by domain name, but only after I load them by IP.
[21:38] <Bit_Breaker> Caleb: Can i have info on the PC`s in question then
[21:38] <Gnea> _mora: what happens if you click on the 'try again' button a few times?
[21:38] <yoyoned> sparkey: is there a config file, have you ran make menuconfig or something similar
[21:38] <_mora> Gnea: same deal.
[21:38] <sparkey> yoyoned: yep right after make menuconfig
[21:38] <Gnea> _mora: are the dns servers local or from your isp?
[21:38] <soundray> sparkey: does /bin/sh link to /bin/dash on your system?
[21:38] <the_eraser> why are there so many audio layers :(
[21:39] <_mora> Gnea: local.  i've also tried using OpenDNS, to no avail.  for the record, none of the other machines on the network have this issue.
[21:39] <sparkey> soundray: will check :)
[21:39] <Gnea> _mora: i have no idea how your network is setup. try using non-local dns servers.
[21:40] <MrD1> Hi i dont know if any one can help. i have installed the new ubuntu, and i am trying to install my alfa network driver from aircrack that i used on the older version but it will not make, make install and i need this for packet injection does any one know if its because a new version or some thing else if any one could help please
[21:40] <SirDucky> stupid question:  when installing ubuntu, it asked me for an account name and password, but no root password.  What's the default ubuntu root password?
[21:40] <_mora> Gnea: like openDNS?  already said, makes no difference.
[21:40] <LjL> !root | SirDucky
[21:41] <Gnea> _mora: i'm sure that verizon has their own set of dns servers for its paying customers to use
[21:41] <eXeCuTe> hey, I want to get an eee pc 1000h, anyone knows if its possible to install ubuntu on it from a disk on key?
[21:41] <Lokian> ubottu: your the greatest bot ever
[21:42] <Gnea> eXeCuTe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC  and #ubuntu-eeepc
[21:42] <_mora> Gnea: while I'm sure they do, the fact that changing the DNS servers to an outside service (without success) indicates to me that the issue lies elsewhere.
[21:42] <eXeCuTe> cool, didn't know there's a channel for that
[21:42] <eXeCuTe> thanks
[21:42] <Jetekus> SirDucky: The root password's hash is set to !, I believe (in other words there is no password). You can change the root password, so it's available to use, but I believe it's discouraged.
[21:42] <Denise> jackass
[21:43] <Soliloquial> is ubuntu currently the most-used linux desktop os?
[21:43] <sparkey> soundray: ye it does
[21:43] <LjL> Soliloquial: that's a good question for #Ubuntu-offtopic
[21:43] <Gnea> _mora: could be a firewall on your end or a faulty ethernet cable
[21:43] <Neremor> Hello! I' try to install my 5.1 system with Alsa. I have sound, and it surrounds me ;)... But currently I can just use 4 channels. The front center speaker isn't making any noise... I ran the test for that and every speaker except the front center one sayed to me that it is available. Its the only thing that isn't working right now, does anyone have any idea what I have to do to fix that? :)
[21:44] <Gnea> Soliloquial: according to distrowatch.com, yes.
[21:44] <soundray> sparkey: do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' and follow the steps to make it point to bash, then try the make-kpkg again. Better yet, find a way of getting by without compiling your own kernel ;)
[21:44] <SirDucky> Jetekus:  thanks.  I would like to enable my root user and create a password for it.  How do I do that?
[21:44] <_mora> it isn't a firewall, because this occurs on no other machine on the [standard verizon DSL router] network.  i doubt it's the cable, as i'm getting no packet loss between this machine and the router.
[21:45] <sparkey> soundray: okay will try that :) thx m8
[21:45] <Gnea> _mora: what happens if you connect the machine directly to the dsl modem?
[21:46] <[TiZ]> Hey there. Still working on my LiveDVD. I have one question. If you aptitude purge software while in the LiveDVD environment, will it still be installed when you use Ubiquity? Example: I already have OpenArena, Gridwars, Zsnes, etc on there. I might also want to add Eclipse and MonoDevelop. Should someone not want any of those, could they "sudo aptitude purge blah blah blah" in order to prevent from installing it?
[21:47] <a1> Can some1 know how to bring back the ICON that i can chose connection point? please!
[21:47] <sparkey> soundray: the thing is that the Xen folder is not there so its not strange that its saying its not there. What is Xen?
[21:47] <a1> i don't find it
[21:47] <Jetekus> SirDucky: It's 'sudo passwd root', though bear in mind it's not recommended.
[21:47] <LjL> SirDucky: why would you need to?
[21:48] <Gnea> a1: icon?
[21:48] <a1> in the panel
[21:48] <Gnea> what panel?
[21:48] <soundray> !xen | sparkey
[21:48] <Gnea> the panel on the top or bottom?
[21:49] <chaddy> a1: right click the panel and add a notification area
[21:49] <a1> nm. how to chose a connection point
[21:49] <Soliloquial> "kernel" should sound more scary
[21:49] <Dillizar> the 8.10 iso its live cd?
[21:49] <Gnea> a1: still lost... 'connection point'? do you mean, for internet?
[21:49] <LjL> Dillizar: yes, like every desktop cd of ubuntu
[21:49] <_mora> Gnea: the situation is unchanged with the machine connected directly to the router.
[21:49] <a1> yes
[21:49] <Azhi_Dahaka> why should i get an alsa error from an app that uses PulseAudio?
[21:49] <LjL> Dillizar: but, #ubuntu+1 for 8.10 discussion.
[21:49] <Dillizar> ok 10x
[21:50] <[TiZ]> Hey there. Still working on my LiveDVD. I have one question. If you aptitude purge software while in the LiveDVD environment, will it still be installed when you use Ubiquity? Example: I already have OpenArena, Gridwars, Zsnes, etc on there. I might also want to add Eclipse and MonoDevelop. Should someone not want any of those, could they "sudo aptitude purge blah blah blah" in order to prevent from installing it?
[21:50] <Dillizar> 10x i am on it
[21:50] <Gnea> _mora: how long as the machine been doing this? just recently or the whole time?
[21:50] <Gnea> *has
[21:50] <_mora> Gnea: the machine has been doing this since i distupgraded last night.
[21:51] <a1> thanks with this all ICONS!! :)
[21:51] <kexman> hi guys
[21:51] <kexman> i installed kubuntu
[21:51] <Gnea> _mora: what did you distupgrade from/to?
[21:51] <sparkey> ubottu: okay. is it needed? or can i compile without it?
[21:51] <kexman> set up ppp to work with a huawei modem
[21:51] <_mora> from heron to intrepid.
[21:51] <kexman> kopete works with it
[21:51] <a1> so many icons
[21:51] <a1> :P
[21:51] <kexman> so do ssh and others
[21:51] <sparkey> oops a bot haha :D
[21:51] <Gnea> !kubuntu | kexman
[21:51] <kexman> but konqueror is not happy
[21:51] <kexman> cant browse no page with it
[21:51] <kexman> uff
[21:51] <FloodBot3> kexman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:52] <Gnea> _mora: then you should inquire in #ubuntu+1, we don't support intrepid here quite as well yet
[21:52] <_mora> mmkay.
[21:52] <Gnea> 9 more days, then we will
[21:52] <Gnea> _mora: the problem is clearly with intrepid, though.
[21:53] <sparkey> soundray: is it needed or can i compile without it?
[21:53] <Dillizar> yo my 8.04 is crashing all the time! can i reinstall it wihtout formating?
[21:53] <untermensch> I'm having a problem. I have the live cd in my friends new toshiba laptop, (64 bit) but when i try to start the live cd the X server is all messed up.
[21:53] <_mora> Gnea: support for my hardware (forceware integrated ethernet) isn't on the list of (known) issues.  and in any case, a networking problem still ought to be solvable by reasonable methods.
[21:53] <soundray> sparkey: I think you ought to be able to compile without it, but you probably have to disable related items in make config
[21:54] <soundray> sparkey: I must say I'm not up-to-date on kernel compilation any more, though. Ubuntu made me lazy that way.
[21:54] <soundray> sparkey: if I wanted 2.6.27 badly, I'd upgrade to intrepid.
[21:55] <pingu_> Anyone knows a good GUI program for (X)Ubuntu to define which single files should be backuped to f.e. /home/me/backup-YYMMDD when i start it or maybe periodically?
[21:55] <Mixed432> anyone knows if there is anything equivalent to "smbmount " for ubuntu???
[21:55] <[TiZ]> Hey there. Still working on my LiveDVD. I have one question. If you aptitude purge software while in the LiveDVD environment, will it still be installed when you use Ubiquity? Example: I already have OpenArena, Gridwars, Zsnes, etc on there. I might also want to add Eclipse and MonoDevelop. Should someone not want any of those, could they "sudo aptitude purge blah blah blah" in order to prevent from installing it?
[21:55] <soundray> pingu_: sbackup perhaps
[21:55] <Gnea> _mora: i've already explained the support position, and i really don't know much about intrepid right now. just trying to help you get your problem solved. :)
[21:56] <[TiZ]> Man, are all my questions really this hard?  I guess I should take it as a good thign.
[21:56] <[TiZ]> thing, rather
[21:57] <sparkey> soundray: okay i see =/ the thing is i tried another kernel but same shit =( need to set 1000hz cpu freq.
[21:58] <soundray> [TiZ]: my guess is: no, what you install or don't install in the live environment has no impact on what ubiquity will install
[21:58] <soundray> sparkey: no fecal references please
[21:58] <soundray> sparkey: why do you need to set a specific frequency?
[21:58] <Wintervenom> How do I get things to play though both my laptop speakers and external speakers at the same time?
[21:59] <Wintervenom> I think what I am wanting to turn off is called "jack sense," but I can't find anything that says how to turn it off.
[21:59] <[TiZ]> soundray: Alright. I'm trying to do research via google and the forums, but it's tough to find things that pertain to my problem rather than using the livecd as a repository
[21:59] <[TiZ]> Thank you.
[21:59] <soundray> Wintervenom: I don't think you can. Most laptops have hardware "jack sense".
[22:00] <niuq> if i want to run an application every time the computer starts, how could i make it?
[22:00] <Wintervenom> Well, on Vista, for some reason, sometimes, if I put my headphones in, it would play on both speakers.
[22:00] <soundray> !boot | niuq
[22:00] <Wintervenom> (At least until the driver got updated.)
[22:01] <Wintervenom> But now, I want that back, 'cause my external speakers don't do treble too well.
[22:01] <soundray> Wintervenom: ah, so you do have software jack sense. Then it would be a matter of the Linux driver supporting it. In other words, don't get your hopes up...
[22:01] <sparkey> soundray: hlds runs much smother with 1000fps
[22:01] <soundray> sparkey: hlds?
[22:02] <koti> hi
[22:02] <pingu_> soundray: sbackup does not show hidden folders with point at the beginning
[22:02] <KenBW2> did hardy remove Control Centre?
[22:02] <pingu_> so i cannot backup .Mozilla configs f.e.
[22:03] <niuq> soundray, thanks
[22:03] <soundray> pingu_: if you explicitly set $HOME/.mozilla to be backed up, sbackup should do it.
[22:03] <winrid> how do i send a comand to my server?
[22:03] <koti> ik
[22:03] <KenBW2> winrid: ssh
[22:04] <Kr0ntab> winrid: can you describe what command you ad in mind?
[22:04] <winrid> KenBW2: Hey ken. Shh wont work. I get "connection refused
[22:04] <winrid> KenBW2: I just want to see the memory and cpu usage of my headless server
[22:04] <KenBW2> winrid: you need to add your PC to a list of allowed connections
[22:04] <niuq> soundray, well the application i wanted to start is sbackup,  i should put sbackupd over /etc/rc.local?
[22:04] <pingu_> soundray: i cannot type directories manually
[22:04] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[22:04] <soundray> KenBW2: shouldn't he make sure that sshd is installed and running on the server first?
[22:04] <pingu_> only the way with browsing, but the folder is not shown
[22:05] <winrid> KenBW2: how?
[22:05] <KenBW2> soundray: probably, i cant remember setting upo ssh on my PC
[22:05] <soundray> pingu_: give me a minute, I'll try to reproduce
[22:05] <Kr0ntab> KenBW2: ssh is not installed by default...
[22:05] <KenBW2> Kr0ntab: it must be or it would tell him so
[22:05] <pingu_> soundray it works
[22:06] <pingu_> rightclick
[22:06] <soundray> Kr0ntab: ssh client is, just not the server
[22:06] <aatk> Anyone know how to launch the restricted modules dialog from the command line?
[22:06] <soundray> pingu_: ah, good
[22:06] <Kr0ntab> ~sigh~  of course I meant the server component guys..
[22:06] <robert__> how do i update gnome apps that aren't updated by canonical?
[22:06] <winrid> rebort: manual download :)
[22:07] <robert__> winrid, how?
[22:07] <soundray> robert__: you don't
[22:07] <vonderer> hello there… is there any way to remove some packages without resolving dependencies?
[22:07] <winrid> robert: search for your stuff on www.softpedia.com in the linux section :)
[22:07] <KenBW2> robert__: go to the program's website
[22:07] <soundray> robert__: check backports and proposed to see if Ubuntu really hasn't provided updates
[22:08] <winrid> robert: or you could add dependencies
[22:08] <soundray> KenBW2, winrid: please don't recommend bypassing the package manager without giving appropriate warnings ( robert__)
[22:08] <[TiZ]> Is there anyone who can give a definite answer? I'm really hoping this will work. I want to make it so that my LiveDVD is full of software, but some of it can be removed before installing. I want to know if "aptitude purge" while inside the LiveDVD environment will have any effect on what is installed from Ubiquity, or if there's any way to make it have an effect. Thanks for any guesses that have been given or will be given.
[22:08] <Orbixx> Ubuntu. I connect to my WLAN, it's fine. I go away, restart, Ubuntu throws wobbly, does not like WPA key. I change security, it works, I go away, restart, same again. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
[22:08] <KenBW2> soundray: warnings?
[22:09] <soundray> KenBW2: like "bypassing the package manager to upgrade individual packages will break apt updates"
[22:10] <soundray> !backports > robert__
[22:10] <KenBW2> soundray: you mean if you install apps from somewhere else they wont be updated by apt anymore?
[22:10] <Kr0ntab> KenBW2: for many people just learning about Ubuntu, let alone Linux, it's beneficial for them to keep within the realms of packages software.  to prevent breaks, etc.  Thats all he was saying.
[22:10] <soundray> KenBW2: yes, and that's not the worst thing that can happen.
[22:11] <sparkey> soundray: half life dedicated server :)
[22:11] <KenBW2> soundray: malicious apps etc?
[22:11] <Flannel> KenBW2: not playing well with others
[22:11] <KenBW2> Flannel: well, i suppose
[22:12] <kandjar> hi there
[22:12] <soundray> KenBW2: I was thinking more of breaking the ability to upgrade to intrepid
[22:12] <soundray> niuq: still here?
[22:13] <MadneX> hi, i want to switch from slackware to kubuntu,(tired of complications and resolve dependencies on hand ;-?) but i want to use the kde 4... its the 8.10 good to use?? or better download the 8.04??
[22:13] <kandjar> I have an issue running ubuntu server, I can't get the remote display working through ssh
[22:13] <Robb_M> Ubuntu is LTS...but the edubuntu addon cd isnt?
[22:13] <KenBW2> MadneX: 8.10 isn't released yet. if you wait till the 30th you might as well use 8.10 then
[22:13] <Flannel> MadneX: 8.04 has a variant that has KDE4, but #kubuntu-kde4 is probably your best place to ask
[22:14] <soundray> niuq: sorry, got caught up in that other discussion. I seem to remember that you can set unattended regular backups somewhere in the sbackup settings. Can you not use those?
[22:14] <Flannel> Robb_M: what makes you think that?
[22:14] <soundray> kandjar: can you specify more exactly what you are trying to do, and what doesn't work?
[22:15] <kandjar> soundray: I setup a ubuntu server box,
[22:15] <Robb_M> Flannel: says support for 18 months on the site here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2008-April/002579.html
[22:15] <robert__> are there epiphany plugins?
[22:15] <kandjar> i m trying to ssh to it (using ssh -X or -Y) with display support
[22:15] <[TiZ]> Is there anyone who can give a definite answer? I'm really hoping this will work. I want to make it so that my LiveDVD is full of software, but some of it can be removed before installing. I want to know if "aptitude purge" while inside the LiveDVD environment will have any effect on what is installed from Ubiquity, or if there's any way to make it have an effect. Thanks for any guesses that have been given or will be given.
[22:16] <[TiZ]> If no one currently here knows for sure, I'll just ask again later.
[22:16] <MadneX> Flannel, Thx
[22:16] <kandjar> first I notice that the variable DISPLAY wasn't setup at all once logged in the server, and even after settings that up it does work
[22:16] <kandjar> I have the same issue on LAN or WAN
[22:16] <Flannel> Robb_M: Interesting.  Well, all of Edubuntu is in the repositories.  So, even if "edubuntu" isn't supported, your packages will all be.
[22:16] <MadneX> KenBW2, are you sure??i found kubuntu 8.10 beta to download right here https://wiki.kubuntu.org/IntrepidIbex/Beta/Kubuntu
[22:17] <soundray> kandjar: what's running on the local side (where you issue the ssh -X command)?
[22:17] <Flannel> Robb_M: I guess that means the Edubuntu specific artwork and stuff won't be.
[22:17] <soundray> MadneX: note *beta*
[22:17] <Robb_M> Flannel: oh, ok...i just saw that and was like "what the heck"? lol
[22:17] <Robb_M> anyways, thanks for the insight :D
[22:18] <kandjar> soundray: linux box, either ubuntu 7 from LAN or debian from WAN
[22:18] <Flannel> Robb_M: yeah, its a little odd, but shouldn't affect you as far as security goes that I can see.
[22:18] <soundray> kandjar: and X forwarding from the debian box works?
[22:18] <KenBW2> MadneX: yea, thats the beta
[22:18] <kandjar> soundray?
[22:19] <pingu_> soundray, what's that?
[22:19] <Flannel> Robb_M: Oh.  If youre using Kubuntu on KDE, those are only 18 months.  I haven't kept up with Edubuntu on KDE.  But Kubuntu isn't LTS, so after 18 months, KDE stuff will go stale.
[22:19] <kandjar> soundray: both ssh are done to the ubuntu box, I either do a ssh -X from a debian box trough WAN to the ubuntu server
[22:19] <Flannel> Robb_M: er, Edubuntu on KDE
[22:19] <pingu_> i included only three little files and backup folder grows up to 200mb not stopping
[22:19] <kandjar> or from a ubuntu desktop through LAN to the same ubuntu server
[22:20] <soundray> pingu_: what's what?
[22:20] <kandjar> both dont work
[22:20] <pingu_> big "files.gtz" and cant open it
[22:20] <soundray> kandjar: what I'm trying to establish is whether ssh -X works when you use another remote machine instead of your Ubuntu server.
[22:21] <pingu_> how can i stop this backup process?!
[22:21] <kandjar> mmm
[22:21] <kandjar> soundray: actually it's a bit more tricky :)
[22:21] <mowk> I have seen topics about error 21, but i think it would be very helpful for some advice to me. The problem is when i got my new external hardrive i decided i would install ubuntu on it(not knowing much) So it went along and installed grub also. But i guess this changes something in the system. So without the ubuntu disk i cannot boot into anything. they only way i can go into windows is go to ubuntus disk and go to boot from first drive then gru
[22:22] <kandjar> soundray: first, I didnt try from the ubuntu client to another computer since it's the only other linux computer I have
[22:22] <kandjar> on my lan
[22:22] <acu> I want to capture Video and Audio from webcam (Logitech Pro9000) which works well with EKIGA and luvcview - is any functional software which can capture video and audio from the webcam ?
[22:22] <soundray> kandjar: okay. Try 'ssh -X localhost xlogo'. Does that work?
[22:22] <kandjar> then, from the debian, I m actually connected to the debian from a winxp box (in LAN) which already redirect the display to the win box
[22:22] <kandjar> and it works
[22:23] <jadedoto> acu: Try Cheese
[22:23] <mowk> I have seen topics about error 21, but i think it would be very helpful for some advice to me. The problem is when i got my new external hardrive i decided i would install ubuntu on it(not knowing much) So it went along and installed grub also. But i guess this changes something in the system. So without the ubuntu disk i cannot boot into anything. they only way i can go into windows is go to ubuntus disk and go to boot from first drive then gru
[22:24] <mowk> anyone?
[22:25] <mowk> I have seen topics about error 21, but i think it would be very helpful for some advice to me. The problem is when i got my new external hardrive i decided i would install ubuntu on it(not knowing much) So it went along and installed grub also. But i guess this changes something in the system. So without the ubuntu disk i cannot boot into anything. they only way i can go into windows is go to ubuntus disk and go to boot from first drive then gru
[22:25] <pingu_> soundray how can i stop this backup process?
[22:25] <soundray> !repeat | mowk
[22:25] <kandjar> soundray: so, to sum up, I m currently connected from a windows box (with a x server running) to the debian box
[22:25] <kandjar> the redirection work
[22:25] <Lebo> Hi all
[22:26] <soundray> pingu_: find out its PID (ps aux | grep backup) and run 'sudo kill PID'
[22:26] <kandjar> I also did: ssh -X localhost xlogo on the debian box, and the redirection worked too
[22:26] <soundray> kandjar: on the server, have you checked that X forwarding is enabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?
[22:26] <kandjar> yeah
[22:27] <Lebo> Is there a way to disable the wireless killswitch with the iwl3945 driver? (For whatever reason fujitsu decided to disable RF scanning by default so in windows it has to be enabled via some stupid key combo, there is no option in bios to disable this behaviour), rmmod iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 has no effect.
[22:27] <kandjar> grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[22:27] <soundray> mowk: you can resize the Windows partition on your first disk, create a small extra /boot partition for grub to live in, and reinstall grub using that.
[22:27] <kandjar> > X11Forwarding yes
[22:28] <kandjar> > X11DisplayOffset 10
[22:28] <soundray> kandjar: no pasting please
[22:28] <kandjar> i didnt past
[22:28] <kandjar> I typed it :P
[22:28] <soundray> kandjar: still, a simple 'yes' would have been sufficient
[22:28] <kandjar> ok :)
[22:29] <kandjar> I jsut wanted to make sure I didnt miss something
[22:29] <Lebo> Any ideas?
[22:29] <kandjar> soundray: I don't understand why it's not working...
[22:29] <soundray> kandjar: and you don't have a $HOME/.ssh/config on the server?
[22:29] <kandjar> soundray: so I have to install a X server on the ubuntu server???
[22:30] <testola> how do i setup a website on local network? working fine with apache on localhost. Is it a firewall question o my router that needs to be reconfigured?
[22:30] <roxo> exiit
[22:30] <mowk> soundray: thanks but im not sure quite how to install grub because ubuntu did that for me, cept on the wrong drivXD
[22:30] <aflack> is there anyway to configure the screensaver you set
[22:30] <kandjar> soundray: nop
[22:31] <soundray> kandjar: no
[22:31] <FA3> Hello, I just have a quick question about Ubuntu Server, I have been searching but can't seem to find the answer. I would just like to know how many users it supports.
[22:31] <soundray> !grub | mowk
[22:31] <soundray> mowk: you can use the RestoreGrub instructions ^^
[22:32] <warz> hey all, i'm trying to remember where the apache config files are located on ubuntu. anyone mind reminding me?
[22:33] <Kr0ntab> warz: /etc/apache2
[22:33] <soundray> kandjar: what do you get from a    ssh -X server 'echo $DISPLAY'
[22:33] <warz> Kr0ntab: ahh, thanks.
[22:33] <aflack> how do you configurew the screensavers??
[22:34] <soundray> FA3: interesting question... I don't think the number is limited for all practical purposes
[22:34] <_mora> Gnea:  After a lot of swearing/hair-pulling/violence, I determined it's a kernel issue (& is already reported in Launchpad.)  Anyone else asks, the solution is to reboot back into 2.6.24 and then everything's ducky again.  :)
[22:34] <warz> i did apt-get install wordpress, but i don't know if this will be easier than just downloading it and installing it manually.
[22:34] <lisa_> is there a way to get winrar to run on ubuntu?
[22:34] <warz> because i have no clue where it put wordpress.
[22:34] <_mora> lisa_: why?
[22:34] <warz> oh, well, i found wordpress, nevermind.
[22:34] <_mora> lisa_ there are way better tools in ubuntu.
[22:35] <Lebo> lias_: unrar
[22:35] <lisa_> _mora, go away
[22:35] <Lebo> lisa_*
[22:35] <_mora> lisa_ uh!  what.
[22:35] <soundray> lisa_: is that how you treat people for trying to help you?
[22:35] <lisa_> _mora, i didnt ask yoir opinion. I asked about winrar
[22:36] <lisa_> soundray, he didnt try to help me, he was trying to give advice which wasnt asked for!  He went off track from my topic
[22:36] <kandjar> soundray: empty
[22:36] <kano> lisa, http://rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz
[22:36] <kandjar> soundray: looks like DISPLAY hasnt been set
[22:36] <kano> command line only
[22:36] <lisa_> _mora, let me try that again.  How can I use winrar on ubuntu?
[22:36] <lisa_> kano, thanks :)
[22:36] <_mora> lisa_ and i didn't ask for your attitude.  you feel like talking to me like a grown-up, or would you like to find someone else to help you?
[22:36] <lisa_> kano, perfect, thats what I was after, cheers
[22:36] <Lebo> It was hardly help though was it? It was a condescending remark when 'unrar' or other tool would do.
[22:37] <kandjar> and if I try to set it by hand, the app freeze for a bit without showing anything, and then report a fail to connect
[22:37] <LjL> take a deep breath everyone
[22:37] <lisa_> _mora, go away!  dont give advice which isnt asked for.  I didnt ask you if there exists anything better than winrar.  I asked HOW I CAN USE winrar.
[22:37] <lisa_> LjL, ok :-)
[22:38] <sirMajid> hi guys
[22:38] <kano-lt> hi
[22:38] <_mora> lisa_: sounds like you've got it all figured out.  have fun.
[22:38] <sirMajid> I have a problem with my visual efects
[22:38] <_mora> sirMajid: you talking about compiz?
[22:38] <LjL> lisa_: for most people, it would be completely unreasonable to use WinRAR in Ubuntu, since unrar together with file-roller do the job nicely. so _mora did well to point that out to you.
[22:38] <soundray> lisa_: if we only ever gave the precise advice that people ask for, we'd be giving lots of very bad advice
[22:38] <_mora> thanks, ljl.
[22:39] <sirMajid> when I turn them on, it says they can't be enabled
[22:39] <lisa_> LjL, i have my reasons and im not "most people"
[22:39] <_mora> let me point out that offering a superior alternative is in no way offensive.  you may have your reasons but that does not excuse causeless rudeness.
[22:39] <lisa_> LjL, I want to encrypt a file in Ubuntu and then send it to my other windows email account, so I can decrypt it on windows.  I only know how to do that using Winrar.   Any other ideas?
[22:39] <LjL> lisa_, and how would we know that beforehand? anyway, it appears that you ended up using "rarlinux", which is command line only, just like "unrar", how's that any different - out of my curiosity?
[22:40] <jken146> lisa_: Install rar from medibuntu and use file-roller
[22:40] <lisa_> jken146, file-roller?
[22:40] <LjL> lisa_, well, if you only know how to do that with "WinRAR", then using "rarlinux" isn't going to help you either
[22:40] <LjL> sure, file-roller. which i just hinted to.
[22:40] <LjL> !rar
[22:40] <lisa_> LjL, ok. so how can I encrypt a file in Ubuntu that will be able to be decrypted in Windows Vista?
[22:40] <kandjar> soundray: any idea?
[22:40] <jken146> lisa_: file-roller a.k.a. Archive Manager
[22:41] <LjL> lisa_: so, see, *that* was your real question, not "how to use WinRAR".
[22:41] <soundray> kandjar: when you set it by hand, what are you setting it to?
[22:41] <_mora> ...and it is the question i answered and got flamed for.
[22:41] <KenBW2> anyone know an IE6 theme for FF3?
[22:41] <lisa_> LjL, no! my real question was how to use winrar on Ubuntu so I can decrtypt a file on windows
[22:42] <lisa_> LjL, but if you claim to have a better alternative, im listening now
[22:42] <lisa_> LjL, if not, then I stick with winrar as thats only way I know
[22:42] <LjL> lisa_: from "man rar", i see:  -hp<password>              Encrypt both file data and headers.  The password is case-sensitive. If you omit the password on the command line, you  will  be  prompted  with  message "Enter password".
[22:42] <GaMbi_DK> anyone who can tell me why I cant make a playlist for Rythmbox music player? or if there is a better music player out there (winamp like)
[22:42] <kandjar> soundray: the address of the computer I trying to log from
[22:42] <jken146> lisa_, go to medibuntu.org and odd the repo following the instructions there.  Then install the package rar nad use the default Ubuntu archive manager (file-roller)
[22:42] <kandjar> soundray: with :0.0 at the end
[22:43] <lisa_> LjL, yes thats what I want!  encrypt using rar.
[22:43] <jken146> GaMbi_DK: vlc is more like winamp; you should be able to make playlists in Rhythmbox.
[22:43] <lisa_> LjL, you see? that was the answer I wanted!  Sudo apt-get install rar.
[22:43] <LjL> lisa_: yes, and that's done with the very tool that mora was suggesting you use.
[22:43] <jken146> lisa_, Do what I said then.
[22:44] <LjL> lisa_: then you asked completely the wrong question. i'd apologize to mora if i were you.
[22:44] <lisa_> jken146, i did it by using "sudo apt-get install rar"
[22:44] <lisa_> LjL, mora didnt suggest rar
[22:44] <FA3> 10? 20?
[22:44] <jken146> lisa_, yup, that's it :)
[22:44] <LjL> lisa_: was about to, except you told them off before they even could.
[22:44] <_mora> precisely.
[22:44] <soundray> kandjar: then the server will set up a separate, unencrypted channel to your X. That's insecure and inefficient, and it requires you to run the xhost command locally (xhost + to enable X connections from anywhere)
[22:44] <lisa_> LjL, 1. you are not me. 2. mora didnt suggest rar. 3. i only apologise when its due. 4. you should see the pm he sent me
[22:44] <uwe> hello, i have a problem with wine and the sound, can somebody help me
[22:45] <LjL> lisa_: well, unfortunately i only see the public messages in this channel. so i can only strongly suggest that you read the following
[22:45] <LjL> !guidelines > lisa_    (lisa_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[22:45] <jken146> uwe: Go on.
[22:45] <Malik_> i jus found out Ubuntu has a server edition too
[22:45] <Rideh> grr i locked myself out on a client machine after setting up pam to use ldap
[22:45] <_mora> the private messages she's talking about are here:  http://pastebin.com/me625f96
[22:46] <CaMason> hi guys. I've been advised to upgrade samba to the latest version (SVN issues). I'm using 8.04, and the latest version seems to show as 3.0.28a. Any ideas on the best way to update it?
[22:46] <lisa_> anyway, thanks jken146. I found the answer I wanted.  Using rar to encrypt in ubuntu!  send file to my windows email account and decrypt in windows using winrar :-)
[22:46] <uwe> my english is not the best, but i will try
[22:46] <FA3> server edition sounds interesting. I wounder how many users it supports?
[22:46] <_mora> i assure you that i did not say anything inappropriate in PM.  or much of anything at all, heh.
[22:46] <LjL> _mora, let's just consider the matter closed at this point
[22:47] <kandjar> soundray: so I shouldn't set it up by hand
[22:47] <_mora> ljl: sure.
[22:47] <lisa_> _mora did NOT say anything inappropriate in PM to me, I never claimed he did.  I just said, "you should see the pm he sent me" :)
[22:47] <uwe> i wish to run the game Homeworld 1 with wine 1.1.2 and the the game does not start with the alsa
[22:47] <GaMbi_DK> jken146, I got VLC for playing movies.. but I dont find it fitting for music playback... can you tell me how to make a play list? when I do "Music->playlist->save to file" on a playlist.. shut down the player.. and when I try to open the playlist It opens in "movie player"  when I try to open with Rythembox music player.. it opens the player and shuts down.. any hints? this is ubuntu 7.04
[22:47] <Malik_> does any1 hav experince with a server here
[22:47] <soundray> kandjar: definitely not if you're using the WAN connection and you value your privacy and security
[22:48] <lisa_> _mora, ok ok! im SORRY if I jumped to wrong conclusions. thanks for trying to help me. I know you meant well
[22:48] <uwe> i search google, but find no woraround
[22:48] <lisa_> _mora, i know your intentions were honourable
[22:48] <uwe> workaround
[22:48] <kandjar> soundray: ok understood, I was just trying to get it working...
[22:48] <ikonia> Malik_: just ask the question
[22:48] <lisa_> _mora, were you going to suggest rar when I asked about winrar?
[22:48] <_mora>  yeah.
[22:49] <lisa_> _mora, be honest now :)
[22:49] <kandjar> soundray: any idea about what I should do?
[22:49] <_mora> rar is what i use.
[22:49] <lisa_> your nose is growing :0
[22:49] <anarkia> hi
[22:49] <lisa_> ok
[22:49] <Malik_> so when a server is made and it has files on it how do the other computers acess it is it liek a website
[22:49] <LjL> lisa_: would probably have suggested "unrar", without knowledge that you'd be wanting to *compress* and not *extract*
[22:49] <jken146> GaMbi_DK: Not sure I can help you much with the rhythmbox problem.  You could try a different player, e.g. exaile though. Perhaps an upgrade to Gutsy (and then to Hardy maybe) would fix the issue.
[22:49] <ikonia> Malik_: you need to run a webserver on it
[22:49] <lisa_> _mora, if you use rar, then tell me.. how do I create a file using a password?
[22:49] <jrib> DavidCanarias: still around?
[22:49] <ikonia> Malik_: keep in mind you can do this on a desktop - you don't need a special server install
[22:49] <Malik_> u donot?
[22:49] <GaMbi_DK> I just got my ubuntu -> compiz .7.6 to work with separate X screen and Im still able to watch movies on 2nd screen (TV) and change desktops on monitor :P
[22:49] <Malik_> then wat r the special sever editions
[22:49] <lisa_> _mora, you use rar, so you would know the command, right?
[22:49] <LjL> lisa_: there's not much else one could have suggested, anyway - "rar" and "unrar" are the only tools in Ubuntu that allow working with RAR files. anyway, why don't we just consider the issue closed as i said? this is just keeping the channel busy now.
[22:50] <lisa_> LjL, ok cheers
[22:50] <ikonia> Malik_: for enterprise hardware (not meant for home use)
[22:50] <Malik_> o
[22:50] <anarkia> salve
[22:50] <Malik_> so is a router a server to
[22:50] <LjL> !it | anarkia
[22:50] <soundray> kandjar: I'm not sure. Maybe your server is missing X-related packages that would, when installed, enable X forwarding -- but I don't know. Perhaps the people in #ubuntu-server will know what the problem is
[22:50] <Malik_> cause with it i can share printers
[22:50] <Malik_> and share files
[22:50] <GaMbi_DK> jken146, im using hardy .7.6
[22:50] <Malik_> in the sharing fodler
[22:50] <ikonia> Malik_: a router is a different technology
[22:50] <lisa_> _mora has gone to look up how to create a password rar file :)
[22:50] <jken146> Malik_: The server edition basically has another kernel, optimised for server hardware.  It doesn't have the GUI installed at all by default either
[22:50] <Malik_> so how is a sever diffrent from a router
[22:51] <LjL> lisa_, enough, please
[22:51] <Malik_> i can share files with a router and share printers
[22:51] <jken146> GaMbi_DK, Oh ok, I thought you said you were on 7.04. Never mind!
[22:51] <kandjar> soundray: mmm ok :)
[22:51] <ikonia> Malik_: a server is something that "serves" services and people, a router provides network routing
[22:51] <kandjar> soundray: thanks anyway, I'll try the ubuntu-server channel then :)
[22:51] <ikonia> Malik_: you may want to check wikipedia for defintions
[22:51] <GaMbi_DK> jken146, 8.04 :P
[22:51] <Malik_> so lets say u hav a server
[22:51] <aflack> can someone help me with java.. i have it installed the plugin but it isnt working
[22:51] <uwe> can some help me? please
[22:51] <Malik_> and u want me to connect to it
[22:51] <Helminthe> LjL: salve is a greeting in a few more languages :)
[22:51] <lg29> hi i'm an ubuntu newbie, wondering if anyone can tell me the basics of setting up a local development environment for a couple of projects. I'm not sure how to configure for multiple "sites" though
[22:51] <Malik_> how will i conneect to it form here
[22:52] <jrib> aflack: what happens exactly?  How doesn't it work?

[22:53] <Helminthe> LjL: ah you did your homework first :)
[22:53] <jrib> !lamp > Neelabh
[22:53] <_mora> SirMajid: you need to enable restricted drivers.  Should be in your System > Administration menu, s'far as i recall.

[22:53] <lg29> jkenl46: yep. don't need to access it remotely though, just for testing.  I have lamp running, just not sure what to do for multiple test sites (eg <IP_ADDRESS> = localhost, 127.0.0.x = mytestsite1, 127.0.0.y = mytestsite2, etc)
[22:53] <blip-> it just complains about the decoder...
[22:53] <LjL> lisa_, i don't know how that's done from inside file-roller (since i'm a KDE user), but from the command line, it's just rar's "-p" option
[22:54] <soundray> Neelabh: no. Read the page that ubottu sent, it tells you how to use the package manager to install apache
[22:54] <jrib> aflack: right.  You should use the packages from the repositories.  They set things up for you.  You need to install the sun-java6-plugin package if you want sun's java plugin
[22:54] <lisa_> LjL, lol
[22:54] <soundray> Neelabh: more general advice for installing software is here:
[22:54] <soundray> !software > Neelabh
[22:54] <Malik_> i wana know of how it looks on the giving computer and reciving computer
[22:54] <jken146> lisa_: file-roller can do it.  It's in 'other options' in the 'save as' box when you choose rar as the type of archive
[22:55] <lisa_> _mora, you are an avid rar user you said, so can you pls tell me how I create a password rar file?
[22:55] <lisa_> jken146, what?
[22:55] <aflack> jrib: this is under synaptic?
[22:55] <LjL> lisa_, now you're just being a troll.
[22:55] <jrib> Neelabh: it's recommended you install from the repositories.  No need to download any tar.gz yourself.  See ubottu, but poke me if you are unsure about anything
[22:55] <jken146> lg29: the Ubuntu apache2 community doc page tells you I think
[22:55] <lisa_> jken146, i didnt understand what u said
[22:55] <jrib> aflack: right
[22:55] <LjL> lisa_: "man rar". the "-p" option is explained there. go read it.
[22:55] <lisa_> LjL, dont judge
[22:55] <lisa_> jken146, what do you mean?  It's in 'other options' in the 'save as' box when you choose rar as the type of archive?
[22:55] <aflack> i serached exactly what you said and nothing cxame up
[22:55] <aflack> sorry for typos lol
[22:56] <lisa_> anyone know how to create a rar file with a password?
[22:56] <jrib> Neelabh: ubottu is just a bot by the way, he can't really have a conversation :)
[22:56] <jrib> lisa_: did you try reading the information LjL told you about?
[22:56] <Bit_Breaker> join #PS3
[22:57] <jken146> lisa_, That's where I found the password option.  Start file-roller.   Create a new archive.  Choose rar sa the format.  Expand the other options just below the format choice menu and enter a password.
[22:57] <aflack> jrib:nothing came up from search
[22:57] <Craihhgney> anyone here use JanusVM, Tor, GNUnet, Freenet or I2P ?
[22:57] <Helminthe> LjL: on a more serious note, are you aware of similar localized resources of help that canonical supports/hosts? i.e. is there a i
[22:57] <jrib> aflack: tell me the output of this command please: uname -m
[22:57] <Adriaan> hi! does someone know the name of the sidebar tool that is on the right (behind OO) on this image http://www.mikesplanet.net/images/darktheme.png?

[22:58] <lg29> jklen146: ok, ill check there, thanks
[22:58] <Craihhgney> anyone here use JanusVM, Tor, GNUnet, Freenet, JAP or I2P ?
[22:58] <aflack> jrib: x86_64..
[22:59] <jrib> aflack: sun does not provide a 64bit java plugin.  Your only options on 64bit are to either use an open java like gcjwebplugin or to install a 32bit firefox as described in !java64
[22:59] <Adriaan> Craihhgney, i sometimes use Tor..
[22:59] <jrib> Adriaan: your link is timing out
[22:59] <aflack> jrib: where can i get a 32bit firefox then
[22:59] <jrib> !java64 | aflack
[22:59] <Craihhgney> Adriaan do you know anything about chaining proxies with tor?
[23:00] <ubuntu> hello
[23:00] <demontager> how to connect to ftp server via gnome-commander?
[23:00] <demontager> I need this adress http://www.stardict.org/wikipedia/
[23:00] <jrib> aflack: oops, issue was on my end.  That's conky.  Why do you want to compile it?  It's in the repositories
[23:01] <ubuntu> what you mean
[23:01] <Craihhgney> anyone here use JanusVM, Tor, GNUnet, Freenet, JAP or I2P ?
[23:01] <elli222> im thinking of installing and trying KDE, is there anything i should know?

[23:01] <Guest272> hi all!  how can i make a link or mount a ftp folder? i can connect over gnome but i cant go with vim to edit files there
[23:01] <Adriaan> Craihhgney, sorry can't help you with that :(
[23:01] <Craihhgney> id really appreciate hearing from a janusVM user out there
[23:02] <ubuntu> any one use KDE
[23:02] <Craihhgney> oh thats ok thanks
[23:02] <elli222> im thinking of trying out KDE, should I or is gnome better?
[23:03] <kandjar> soundray: mmm is ubuntu-server the right channel??
[23:03] <jrib> Guest272: Maybe with curlftpfs, but you can edit ftp files directly from vim, see    :he netrw
[23:03] <hsinam> hi, how can i rename multiple files to asdf001, asdf002, asdf003 ... etc,  but before renaming, the files need to be sorted by date modified.
[23:03] <formode> Hello everyone, I'm currently making a LIVEUSB of Ubuntu, I use 64 bit ubuntu, would it be safe to use that on the LIVEUSB, or should I go with 32 bit? (Will the 64 bit not work with most computers?)
[23:03] <jken146> elli222: matter of personal preference.  Install both and see which you like best.
[23:04] <bruenig> hsinam: a for loop
[23:04] <dimm> hello! who now about problem rtorrent + lvm?
[23:04] <jken146> formode: 64bit won't work on 32bit comps
[23:04] <dimm>  Storage error: [File chunk write error: Success.]
[23:04] <formode> jken146 So I should go with a i386 build for a travel version?
[23:04] <soundray> kandjar: not with those people there...
[23:05] <jken146> formode: I would
[23:05] <formode> jken146 Alright, thanks.
[23:05] <acu> jadedoto: are you still around - it seem that cheese captures some video - but no audio - where I can configure Cheese capture resolution ?
[23:06] <kandjar> soundray: :)
[23:06] <soundray> kandjar: can you run a debugging session (ssh -X -vv) and paste the log on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[23:07] <formode> Does anyone know the size of the 8.04 -> 8.10 upgrade?
[23:07] <ikonia> formode: depends on what you have installed
[23:07] <formode> ikonia, I have 64 bit ubuntu 8.04, fully updated.
[23:07] <ikonia> formode: it depends on what additional software from the base
[23:08] <ronzilla> anyone here have an iphone and linux? if so have you managed to make it sync or get itunes working?
[23:08] <formode> ikonia, Ah, ok. :)
[23:08] <ikonia> ronzilla: it doesn't sync well
[23:08] <a1> nokia hi
[23:08] <ronzilla> what about if i create a virtual build
[23:08] <ronzilla> of windows
[23:08] <formode> ronzilla, currently Iphone 2.0 software does not work with linux. :( The onyl way to do it is to SSH, which I'm not sure if that works anymore.
[23:08] <ikonia> ronzilla: what about it ?
[23:09] <ronzilla> to run itunes
[23:09] <ronzilla> and sync my iphone
[23:09] <ikonia> ronzilla: yes ? what about it
[23:09] <ikonia> thats windows - nothing to do with ubuntu
[23:09] <ronzilla> just wondering if it will
[23:09] <ronzilla> work
[23:09] <ikonia> ronzilla: thats windows
[23:09] <dubby> hey anyone, how would i fill a feature request
[23:09] <dunas> My friend is asking about Linux on a http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9052945&type=product&id=1218012528210, can anyone give me some idea how that'd work?
[23:09] <formode> ronilla, The thing is, that, ubuntu doesn't even recognize the device mount. So a virtual windows won't pick it up.
[23:10] <ikonia> dunas: looks fine
[23:10] <formode> ronzilla May I suggest, in the future, checking compatability before pruchasing?
[23:10] <soundray> kandjar: are you doing it?
[23:10] <jrib> !brainstorm | dubby
[23:10] <ikonia> dunas: looks like generic hardware mostly
[23:10] <mouser-> Hi, I'm trying to set-up shortcut keys for compiz, and am apparently unable to use the super/windows key, as it opens the main menu.  I'd like to use the super key if i could.
[23:10] <ronzilla> looks like i have to go back to XP
[23:10] <TheFiller> How can I get an automatically created link to my mounted devices on my desktop? Usually it does that by itself, but after a reinstall it won't do that anymore
[23:10] <formode> ronzilla Yes. :) If you have a complaint please mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[23:10] <jrib> mouser-: turn off the shortcut key for the menu.  Should be in preferences -> keyboard shortcuts
[23:11] <ronzilla> haha yeah i i really like this OS too =/
[23:11] <formode> ronzilla, Well, why not dual boot?
[23:11] <MrD1> Hi could some one please help who knows about drivers i have installed the new ubuntu, and i tryed installing the same drivers i got from aircrack for my rtl818 alfa network wifi, but now when i get to the make make install it appers with an error does it have a conflict with the ubuntu drivers or is there some thing else that it wrong also is there away of downloading the old linux headers because they dont seem to appear in synaptic if som
[23:11] <MrD1> e one could help plaese thanks in advance
[23:11] <ikonia> !ibex > MrD1
[23:11] <ronzilla> i dont really want to bother booting between 2 different OS's just to sync my phone
[23:12] <formode> ronzilla I gave up my ipod touch for linux. :-P
[23:12] <lg29> hmm, so, still trying to figure out quickest way to (drupal, multi site) development environment. i found this "drubuntu" vmware image here - http://groups.drupal.org/node/6260 .  Can anyone advise/discourage me about whether this is a good solution?  vmware player is already set up. thanks!
[23:12] <mouser-> jrib: I looked there, but couldn't find the correct setting.
[23:12] <formode> ronzilla, Then why did you buy the phone without checking if it would work?
[23:12] <ronzilla> yeah but im stuck 2 years with my iphone and AT&T
[23:12] <ronzilla> i had the phone, i just installed linux over the weekend
[23:12] <soundray> TheFiller: in gconf-editor, tick the checkbox for /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible
[23:12] <ikonia> ronzilla: sorry
[23:12] <jrib> mouser-: Desktop -> Show the panel menu
[23:13] <GodfatherofEire> Is there any way of using the Find/replace function in OO.o that can replace spaces with tabs or returns?
[23:13] <formode> ronzilla, go tell the phone company it won't work with your computer, maybe they'll give you a different phone :)
[23:13] <ronzilla> i dont want one :(
[23:13] <mouser-> ronzilla: It's probable due to its popularity that someone will make it compatable in the future, as well, if Virtualbox/VMware/etc or dual-booting isn't a solution
[23:13] <formode> ronzilla Linux or iphone then, is your question. Linux, in the future, will probably support the iphone, it just needs to be cracked.
[23:14] <jrib> ronzilla: you can sync your iphone, but you need to jailbreak it (see help.ubuntu.com)
[23:14] <GodfatherofEire> Never mind
[23:14] <formode> jrib, he's refering to iphone 2.0
[23:14] <soundray> GodfatherofEire: you have to enable regular expressions in the dialog and use escape codes for tab and return (might be ^t and ^$, but better to look it up in the help)
[23:14] <GodfatherofEire> Yeah, just found that
[23:14] <TheFiller> soundray: thank you, but it is already checked :S
[23:14] <GodfatherofEire> But thanks for the help Soundray
[23:14] <soundray> TheFiller: ah
[23:15] <kandjar> soundray: done
[23:15] <soundray> kandjar: so?
[23:15] <mouser-> jrib: that setting shows a panel menu next to the mouse cursor, but doesn't disable the super key opening that menu.
[23:15] <kandjar> i pasted it
[23:15]  * soundray taps his fingers
[23:15] <JoseBravo> Im having problems doing ssh connections from any terminal from my ubuntu, when I put the password the terminal got freezed.
[23:15]  * soundray waits for the URL
[23:15] <kandjar> http://paste.ubuntu.com/60710/
[23:16] <JoseBravo> I have tried with many different server, Putty works fine!
[23:16] <jrib> mouser-: it opens the main menu
[23:16] <kandjar> sorry :)
[23:16] <kandjar> not used to it :)
[23:16] <TheFiller> soundray: but it apparently does not work. How can I get it to work?
[23:16] <chronographer> hi all. I want to make some of these changes permanent: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio#Version_0.12.0_and_later.. Specifically these lines: sudo usermod -a -G pulse-access mpd
[23:16] <chronographer> is there an easy way?
[23:16] <chronographer> or a beter way to grant rights?
[23:16] <Anza> Why thunderbird is not sending my emails complete? I mean, people receive like haft of the sentence I typed, incomplete mails, does anyone could tell me how to fix that?
[23:16] <soundray> kandjar: there's a clue in 109
[23:16] <ikonia> Anza: thats going to be down to your smtp server
[23:17] <Anza> ikonia,  and how could I fix it?
[23:17] <ikonia> Anza: depends on your problem
[23:17] <soundray> kandjar: do you have the xauth package installed on the server?
[23:18] <kandjar> dunno
[23:18] <soundray> kandjar: can you find out?
[23:18] <mouser-> jrib: Correct.  It looks like it was a custom menu applet that was masquerading as the main menu that was causing the problem.  I removed it and restored the correct main menu and it works now.  Thanks.
[23:18] <Anza> ikonia, how could I know? :S
[23:18] <kandjar> soundray: how?
[23:18] <cs_student> I just switched over from debian to ubuntu. For some reason my internet on ubuntu is extremely slow.  How can I figure out why?
[23:18] <ikonia> Anza: what / who's smtp server are you using
[23:18] <jken146> !tab
[23:18] <visik7> anyone has flash 10 installed ? do you got a strange right click behavior ?
[23:18] <soundray> kandjar: sudo apt-get install xauth
[23:18] <kandjar> k
[23:19] <Anza> ikonia, yahoo?
[23:19] <ikonia> Anza: your using yahoo's smtp server ?
[23:19] <JoseBravo> Im having problems doing ssh connections from any terminal from my ubuntu, when I put the password the terminal got freezed. I have tried with many different server, Putty works fine!
[23:19] <kandjar> mmm
[23:19] <sirMajid> hi guys
[23:19] <sirMajid> I have a problem with my ubuntu
[23:19] <kandjar> soundray: it did something
[23:20] <mouser-> sirMajid: what is the problem?
[23:20] <Guest39263> hello to all , i cannot create a internet connection share (from a wireless ath0 to a eth0 one), is there any link for try again to configure it??
[23:20] <sirMajid> It becomes really slow
[23:20] <sirMajid> even the mouse moves slow
[23:20] <TheFiller> How can I get an automatically created link to my mounted devices on my desktop? Usually it does that by itself, but after a reinstall it won't do that anymore
[23:20] <soundray> kandjar: when done, disconnect and reconnect with ssh -X
[23:20] <Anza> ikonia, I mean, its happening with yahoo account, when I go to addons / preferences in webmail it says the SMPT server is running!
[23:20] <sirMajid> and the windows open really late
[23:20] <f|uke> Guest, are you using firestarter?
[23:20] <ikonia> Anza: your using webmail ? I thought you where using thunderbird
[23:20] <sirMajid> it usually happens after restart or hibernate
[23:21] <f|uke> GGust39263: http://www.blank89.net/2008/05/how-to-setup-ubuntu-804-as-a-dhcp-router/
[23:21] <f|uke> *Guest39263
[23:21] <sirMajid> and sometimes it happens suddenly when I'm working
[23:21] <jrib> TheFiller: do they still get mounted?  (They just don't show up on the desktop)
[23:21] <soundray> TheFiller: might be worth mentioning that volumes_visible is set
[23:21] <ronzilla> how do you think obuntu will run on a dell d400 laptop
[23:21] <Craihhgney> anyone here use JanusVM, Tor, GNUnet, Freenet, JAP or I2P ?
[23:21] <TheFiller> jrib: yes
[23:21] <ikonia> ronzilla: depends on the spec
[23:21] <t35t0r> has anyone used an esata connected drive in ubuntu? does it work like a removable usb or firewire drive (user mountable and unmountable) or does it work like a new HDD (only root can mount/umount?) ?
[23:21] <Anza> ikonia, webmail, as an add on, to run the email accounts in thunderbird
[23:21] <kandjar> soundray: ooooh!!
[23:21] <sirMajid> mouser-: do you know what the problem is?
[23:21] <kandjar> soundray: looks like its working!!! :)
[23:21] <Guest39263> iread, one moment i give a look (i have tryed with firestarter without succces)
[23:22] <ronzilla> i think its a 1.4 P4 with 1 gig ram
[23:22] <soundray> !yay | kandjar
[23:22] <jken146> ronzilla: How much RAM does that have?
[23:22] <ronzilla> 1 gug
[23:22] <ronzilla> gig*
[23:22] <jken146> ronzilla: Should be OK
[23:22] <ikonia> ronzilla: should run "fine"
[23:22] <sirMajid> has anybody had my problem?
[23:23] <mouser-> sirMajid: Did you recently install Ubuntu?
