[03:52] <bDerrly> then try to run synaptic
[03:52] <tuxlifan> bDerrly: it just doesn't let me change resolution, or any other setting, like, e.g. papersize... I'm in the lpadmin group and even with sudo it doesn't work
[03:53] <tuxlifan> bDerrly: I'm still on 5.04 if that matters...
[03:53] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, the sudo tail thing asked me for a password and didn't do anything else after I typed it in
[03:53] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, want me to pastebin it?
[03:53] <yanis> hello
[03:54] <yanis> how do I format a new usb hard disc?
[03:54] <pvanhoof> just like any other harddisk, yanis
[03:54] <pvanhoof> plug it in, check dmesg to get to know it's name
[03:54] <MrPrimate> damn 10x burn worked fine for me, ubuntu seems to be up straight now
[03:54] <pvanhoof> fdisk /dev/sda
[03:55] <pvanhoof> create a partition (for example n, p, 1, enter enter)
[03:55] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, http://pastebin.com/477618
[03:55] <pvanhoof> w
[03:55] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, you don't have sudo privileges is my guess...type this in terminal:  sudo -l
[03:55] <pvanhoof> pvcreate /dev/sda1
[03:55] <onkarshinde> yanis: perhaps gparted will help you
[03:55] <fractalmbrown> "Sorry, user michael may not run sudo in localhost"
[03:55] <pvanhoof> vgcreate groupname /dev/sda1
[03:55] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, WABAM!
[03:55] <pvanhoof> lvcreate -L size /dev/groupname -npartitionname
[03:55] <bDerrly> and all the answers fall into place
[03:55] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, hehe. Keep in mind I know nothing of linux
[03:55] <pvanhoof> yanis, that's for an LVM2 setup
[03:56] <yanis> ehm
[03:56] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, have a solution?
[03:56] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, how do you have a terminal running as root and a root password and no sudo?
[03:56] <pvanhoof> and then, mkfs.ext3 /dev/groupname/partitionname
[03:56] <yanis> what's the most common fs.ext3 right?
[03:56] <pvanhoof> and mount /dev/groupname/partitionname /mnt
[03:56] <MrPrimate> damn ubuntu install didn't work, must not have gone onto mbr, I get Error loading operating system
[03:56] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, hell if I know. I just typed "su" and entered the password when it prompted me
[03:56] <gnomefreak> fractalmbrown, you dont have sudo privledges but if that was the name and password you used to install ubuntu you should have them
[03:56] <pvanhoof> yanis, these days I recommend using LVM2
[03:56] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, in that terminal type "whoami"
[03:57] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: don't use su in the future, ubuntu doesnt use the 'su' model of superuser
[03:57] <gnomefreak> fractalmbrown, who installed ubuntu on that pc?
[03:57] <yanis> havent heard of it..
[03:57] <pvanhoof> it'll make management of your "volumne" a lot more easy and powerfull
[03:57] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell fractalmbrown about root
[03:57] <fractalmbrown> whoami returns "michael"
[03:57] <bDerrly> then you're not root
[03:57] <yanis> is it a standard?
[03:57] <pvanhoof> yanis, yea well, then learn it ;)
[03:57] <pvanhoof> yanis, yes
[03:57] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, was michael the first user you created after install?
[03:57] <pvanhoof> yanis, every modern linux distro these days creates a LVM2 for / by default
[03:57] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, yes. There is a root password, however
[03:57] <pvanhoof> yanis, Ubuntu, for example, does it
[03:58] <fractalmbrown> johndarkhorse, ubotu says there is no root pass by default, but I set one
[03:58] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: ubuntu is not set up for root account usage, and that can confuse some things
[03:58] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, so if you type "su -"  (that is a hyphen) and put in the root password, then type "whoami" do you get root?
[03:58] <pvanhoof> yanis, and it's indeed a lot more powerfull if you want to make triping raids, mirror raids, let it grow add, delete volumnes, do snapshot backups
[03:58] <pvanhoof> stuff like that, very powerfull
[03:59] <kakei> fractalmbrown sudo su and see
[03:59] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, here is something interesting: I went into System->Administration->Users and Groups, and it said "Starting Users and Groups..." but then it disappeared
[03:59] <yanis> pvanhoof: it's a simple usb exteran hdd
[03:59] <gnomefreak> is sudo really that hard to use that people have to add su account?
[03:59] <pvanhoof> yanis, that's perfect for lvm2
[03:59] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, it is because you don't have sudo
[03:59] <pvanhoof> yanis, however .. if you want to use it on Windows ... you're only option is to use VFAT
[04:00] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, su - got me into root@ubuntu
[04:00] <bDerrly> type whoami
[04:00] <johndarkhorse> gnomefreak: it is not hard to use at all, just unfamiliar. and all the howtos on the net instruct with 'su' usage
[04:00] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, I've been as root before.
[04:00] <yanis> pvanhoof: I use ext2win
[04:00] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly: whoami returns "root"
[04:00] <pvanhoof> yanis, that might not work with LVM2
[04:00] <bDerrly> how the hell...?
[04:00] <MrPrimate> can you name your account root in ubuntu?
[04:00] <bDerrly> i don't understand how you installed ubuntu and have a root passwd and yet no sudo...
[04:01] <yanis> pvanhoof: is there any tool to read it from windows?
[04:01] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, sure, just add a record in /etc/passwd with id 0
[04:01] <bDerrly> MrPrimate, not recommended
[04:01] <gnomefreak> johndarkhorse,  i see that point
[04:01] <yanis> pvanhoof: for LVM2
[04:01] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, sudo -l from root@ubuntu: ~ says I can run all commands
[04:01] <MrPrimate> yeah I thought ubuntu avoided this
[04:01] <pvanhoof> yanis, you'll have to check the LVM2 docs for that
[04:01] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, sudo su , followed by passwd and you have a root account
[04:01] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, type visudo
[04:01] <MrPrimate> right,... does ubuntu stick with its own packages or debian packages also
[04:02] <johndarkhorse> MrPrimate: debian pkgs will break ubuntu
[04:02] <MrPrimate> (in normal apt-
[04:02] <gnomefreak> MrPrimate,  pretty much a mixture
[04:02] <bshumate> gnomefreak: of course it is, that is why it was created...because of the inherent insecurity in su
[04:02] <MrPrimate> johndarkhorse, ok, so you'd have to force
[04:02] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, okay, I'm in a text editor
[04:02] <johndarkhorse> MrPrimate: if you force, you'll break. it's a guarantee
[04:02] <sethbc> gnomefreak, it's only as secure as the config
[04:02] <MrPrimate> johndarkhorse, got it
[04:02] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, afaik there's work in progress to get dpkg's compatible with ubuntu
[04:02] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, scroll down to the bottom
[04:02] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, should i add my name to the list?
[04:03] <pvanhoof> binary compatible .. but nevertheless, if there's a ubuntu package : use it
[04:03] <bDerrly> hit the 'i' key once
[04:03] <johndarkhorse> MrPrimate: building from debian source is the safest way
[04:03] <gnomefreak> bshumate, but if that was case wouldnt all distros go to it since ubuntu is only one im sure of that uses it?
[04:03] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, like the letter i?
[04:03] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, or CTRL-I?
[04:03] <bshumate> sethbc: i think he is referring to it being more secure in theory....of course in practice it can be insecure too.
[04:03] <bshumate> gnomefreak: you can get sudo for any *nix out there
[04:03] <MrPrimate> winsecure?
[04:03] <bDerrly> wtf?  i ran visudo and it used nano...eeeeew!
[04:03] <pvanhoof> yanis, if you can go for LVM2, go for it. It's the future of volume management in Linux
[04:04] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, I'm in nano
[04:04] <johndarkhorse> pvanhoof: debian is not binary compabible
[04:04] <MrPrimate> dDerrly: odddd
[04:04] <pvanhoof> well, it's not only the future .. it's today
[04:04] <yanis> pvanhoof: I hope :P
[04:04] <gnomefreak> if you have to type sudo before each command you have less chance to mess something up than say using sudo -i or su
[04:04] <MrPrimate> vim vim !
[04:04] <pvanhoof> johndarkhorse, that's what I said, indeed
[04:04] <bDerrly> i didn't even know i had nano installed
[04:04] <MrPrimate> emacs is wacky
[04:04] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, I thought it was default installed
[04:04] <johndarkhorse> bDerrly: it uses your $EDITOR variable
[04:04] <sethbc> bDerrly: nano is installed automatically, it's executed because that is what your $EDITOR is set to
[04:04] <coolgoose> hi all
[04:04] <gnomefreak> bshumate, im sure you can but most people stick with default su cause they know it
[04:04] <pvanhoof> yanis, it is. And it's powerfull .. and some day you'll do virtualisation with xen .. and you'll love it
[04:04] <pvanhoof> you'll see
[04:04] <coolgoose> can someone help me with my dri problem ? :)
[04:05] <pvanhoof> just wait and see
[04:05] <MrPrimate> coolgoose, gotta be more specific than that
[04:05] <MrPrimate> coolgoose, don't paste though
[04:05] <coolgoose> MrPrimate: i don't even have 100 fps in glxgears lol
[04:05] <coolgoose> MrPrimate: and glxinfo gives me
[04:05] <bDerrly> $EDITOR and $VISUAL were not set, and it uses $VISUAL not $EDITOR
[04:05] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, the line at the bottom says root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[04:05] <MrPrimate> coolgoose, what hardware and drivers are you using ?
[04:05] <bshumate> gnomefreak: who are these "most people" you are referring to?  and how do you know this?  did you do some surveys?
[04:05] <yanis> lol I dont know what that virtual thing is
[04:05] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, first are you using nano or vim?
[04:05] <pvanhoof> yanis, btw, you'll love both xen and LVM2. They are a great combo
[04:05] <fractalmbrown> bderrly: nano
[04:06] <pvanhoof> yanis, you'll know when time comes
[04:06] <ossie> hi , please can someone tell me how to apt-get the i686 mutliporccessor package please I want the source
[04:06] <bDerrly> ok, just copy exactly what it says for root but change root to michael on the next line down
[04:06] <gnomefreak> bshumate,  no i take it from people that switch from another distro to ubuntu
[04:06] <MrPrimate> ossie, msg me and ask about it i'll explain everything
[04:06] <johndarkhorse> ossie: use synaptic
[04:06] <burning_bronx> gnomefreak, is correct
[04:06] <burning_bronx> and bshumate please don't be so offensive
[04:06] <burning_bronx> ~_~
[04:06] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, then save and log out then back in?
[04:06] <coolgoose> MrPrimate: root@ov360:/home/coolgoose# glxinfo | grep Mesa
[04:06] <coolgoose> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20050528 AGP 4x TCL
[04:06] <coolgoose> OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 6.4.1
[04:06] <burning_bronx> we are all friends here trying to help each other :)
[04:06] <gnomefreak> bshumate,  you sit here long enough you will see how many questions you get about su and sudo :(
[04:07] <johndarkhorse> coolgoose: please dont paste in here, read the /topic
[04:07] <bDerrly> yes, exit the file
[04:07] <coolgoose> sorry
[04:07] <bshumate> burning_bronx: i am not being offensive.  i just don't take the word of anyone as gospel.  how is asking questions offensive?
[04:07] <burning_bronx> gnomefreak, as long as there are people to answer it will be all good :)
[04:07] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, then run visudo -c
[04:07] <burning_bronx> bshumate, you make it sound offensive. like just right now
[04:07] <gnomefreak> hoary was the first distro i ever tried
[04:07] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, should I type CTRL-O to save the file?
[04:07] <fractalmbrown> bderrly: it says "^O  WriteOut"
[04:08] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, i've never used nano, there should be a bar at the bottom that tells you what to do
[04:08] <burning_bronx> gnomefreak, most people usually start with older distros
[04:08] <coolgoose> i have http://rafb.net/paste/results/xcD8Ob89.html and not even 100 fps in glxgears , in fact glxgears doesn't show a value :)
[04:08] <burning_bronx> >.>
[04:08] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, yes, that is the save
[04:08] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, then exit
[04:08] <burning_bronx> ubuntu is quite young
[04:08] <sethbc> control x exits in nano
[04:08] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: ctrl-o, enter, and ctrl-x
[04:08] <MrPrimate> burning_bronx, debian's been around though
[04:08] <bshumate> burning_bronx: well i am sorry if you are offended.  i suppose if i am actually offending everyone, i'll be +b or kicked from the channel.  i cannot help that you interpret asking questions as offensive.
[04:08] <burning_bronx> MrPrimate, Ubuntu is not Debian as you may have noticed ;)
[04:08] <coolgoose> so any ideeas ? :P
[04:08] <MrPrimate> burning_bronx, well it's on the pillars
[04:09] <burning_bronx> bshumate, you keep doing it - just be calm and friendly like we are towards you :P
[04:09] <sethbc> i'm trying to do an SVN checkout on the lighttpd repo, and svn is telling me that it cannot write to a temp directory...of course /tmp is writeable by me, so i'm kind of left wondering why its barfing
[04:09] <gnomefreak> bshumate,  your not offending me and i dont want you to take what i say offensive please
[04:09] <johndarkhorse> sethbc: hows your space usage?
[04:09] <coolgoose> this is my xorg.conf http://rafb.net/paste/results/y3ttJq70.html
[04:09] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, did you exit?  run visudo -c ?
[04:09] <sethbc> johndarkhorse: about 1 of 200 gigs used
[04:09] <sethbc> ;-)
[04:09] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, "sudoers file parsed successfully"
[04:09] <bDerrly> excellent!
[04:10] <ossie> MrPrimate, i have messaged u
[04:10] <coolgoose> so any ideeas ? :P
[04:10] <MrPrimate> ossie: I don't see it
[04:10] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, now try to run synaptic or update manager and type in the password you have set for michael
[04:10] <fractalmbrown> okay
[04:10] <johndarkhorse> MrPrimate: ossie you need to be registerd and identified to msg
[04:10] <burning_bronx> gnomefreak, what time is it there, where you live?  Update manager still does nuffink.
[04:11] <MrPrimate> ossie: sorry you can msg me now
[04:11] <kakei> hey any one knows an aplication to check the CPU temp?
[04:11] <johndarkhorse> MrPrimate: please watch your language in here
[04:11] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, from a new terminal (not in root) type sudo -l
[04:12] <fractalmbrown> it still says "sorry, user michael cannot run sudo on localhost"
[04:12] <bDerrly> kakei, lmsensors
[04:12] <coolgoose> MrPrimate: can you help me ? :) http://rafb.net/paste/results/y3ttJq70.html is the xorg.conf
[04:12] <MrPrimate> johndarkhorse, did I step out of line? sorry
[04:12] <MrPrimate> coolgoose, msg me
[04:12] <gnomefreak> burning_bronx,  have a wonderfull xmas eve dinner and a wonderful xmas if i dont see you
[04:12] <fractalmbrown> bderrly: should i re-log in
[04:12] <bDerrly> no
[04:12] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, I still have no sudo priviledges
[04:12] <burning_bronx> gnomefreak, I'd be around till dinner time ;)
[04:12] <Malachi> Ubuntu's great isn't it?
[04:12] <gnomefreak> :)
[04:13] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, paste your /etc/sudoers file in a pm to me
[04:13] <yaniss> pvanhoof: are you there?
[04:13] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, for some reason the sudoers file never saved
[04:13] <burning_bronx> Malachi, ubuntu is teriffic
[04:13] <pvanhoof> yaniss, yes
[04:13] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, hang on, I must edit it again
[04:13] <bDerrly> ok
[04:13] <yaniss> pvanhoof: can we talk in private for a sec?
[04:13] <pvanhoof> nop, please talk here
[04:14] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: you have to have superuser privs to use visudo
[04:14] <kakei> bDerrly where can i get lmsensors? with apt-get didnt work =(
[04:14] <johndarkhorse> kakei: use synaptic, they are there
[04:14] <bDerrly> kakei, it probably isn't called lmsensors... apt-cache search sensor
[04:14] <fractalmbrown> johndarkhorse, bDerrly, I now have sudo priviledges under michael :D
[04:14] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: cool beans
[04:14] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, congrats.  now run update-managers
[04:15] <fractalmbrown> w00t
[04:15] <fractalmbrown> lol
[04:15] <fractalmbrown> it worked
[04:15] <tristan> anyone knows why when I am trying to run xboard it tells me : xboard: no fonts match pattern -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
[04:15] <pvanhoof> yaniss, please ask your questions here
[04:15] <johndarkhorse> tristan: install more font pkgs
[04:15] <bshumate> tristan: because xboard is looking for a helvetica font and you don't have such a font installed, or it is not installed properly
[04:15] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, i would look at the ubuntu guide about su vs sudo and i believe they have instructions on how to set root up to not be allowed login again...
[04:16] <tristan> johndarkhorse, bshumate : where can I find this font?
[04:16] <johndarkhorse> tristan: search for "font" in synaptic or apt
[04:16] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, I've tried logging in as root from the startup screen
[04:16] <MrPrimate> tristan, just install a bunch of fonts, that sounds like normal font
[04:16] <johndarkhorse> tristan: install missing pkgs
[04:16] <fractalmbrown> bderrly: it didn't work
[04:17] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: dont use 'root'
[04:17] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, that is because by default ubuntu (gdm really) doesn't allow root to login
[04:17] <burning_bronx> omg
[04:17] <pussfeller> whats the command to see what package might contain a certain file or string?
[04:17] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, so, is root not allowed to login?
[04:17] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: a root account is so unnecessary
[04:17] <gnomefreak> omg doesnt sound good
[04:18] <burning_bronx> the ubuntu devels are so hasty - they put gfxboot package but this package still creates a suse folder
[04:18] <MrPrimate> i think my ubundtu installation may have acctually locked up configuring libxft2, unless this takes forever and you can't alt+f2 or anything
[04:18] <johndarkhorse> pussfeller: install and update apt-file
[04:18] <joachim-n> hi
[04:19] <fractalmbrown> johndarkhorse, bDerrly, thank you guys so much for your help
[04:19] <gnomefreak> MrPrimate, its prbably a big lib file let it sit there for a while see if it changes
[04:19] <MrPrimate> during installation should I be able to jump to another contsole alt+f2, etc ? i think it's locked up
[04:19] <MrPrimate> gnomefreak, with debian i could always switch console though
[04:19] <MrPrimate> gnomefreak, this seems to be locked up
[04:19] <bDerrly> fractalmbrown, no problem  :)
[04:20] <johndarkhorse> MrPrimate: the install only has 3 consoles and one is used for the install
[04:20] <MrPrimate> johndarkhorse, and I can't get to any of the others, so it's locked up huh
[04:20] <fractalmbrown> bDerrly, one last thing: now that I can get into the "login screen startup", I discovered in the security tab: Allow root to login with GDM is unchecked. Does that mean root is not allowed to login period?
[04:21] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: not at the gui, no
[04:21] <bshumate> MrPrimate: a good test of hard locked state is CAPS or NUM lock keys...if you press them, and the corresponding lights don't appear, then you're really locked up...if they light, then you're not so locked up. ;-)
[04:21] <mlopes> merry christmas
[04:21] <mlopes> :-)
[04:21] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: and if i were you, i'd not ever use root again, there is no need for it
[04:21] <mlopes> does anyone know how can I see which flags were use to compile a ubuntu package?
[04:21] <MrPrimate> bshumate, this bunk keyboard dodsn't have proper lights though :]
[04:21] <bshumate> MrPrimate: bummer.
[04:21] <fractalmbrown> johndarkhorse, essentially, now I am root because I have ALL = (ALL) ALL priviledges
[04:22] <MrPrimate> bshumate, hopefully a reboot during install won't nuke it
[04:22] <johndarkhorse> fractalmbrown: you have ALL priveleges with sudo, also
[04:23] <redneck> hello !!
[04:24] <gnomefreak> hi
[04:24] <phreak97> my fat32 partition isnt showing up under computer
[04:24] <nmsa> I just installed my new PII Ubuntu server; installed DNS server  and thinking I need a DHCP to give dynamic IP's in the local net; is this correct ?
[04:24] <phreak97> hello:P
[04:24] <MrPrimate> damn my ubuntu is wrecked
[04:24] <MrPrimate> how can i force it to reinstall now from the shell
[04:24] <MrPrimate> it bombed out when i rebooted it during that install
[04:24] <MrPrimate> can I just apt-get base anything ?
[04:25] <phreak97> oh, and my monitor supports 1280x960 70Hz, but it only lets me choose 60Hz
[04:25] <phreak97> how do i get around that?
[04:26] <bshumate> nmsa: if you mean you would like to distribute IP addresses to other computers on your network, then yes, you need dhcpd (sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server)
[04:26] <gnomefreak> phreak97, reconfigureing your xserver might help but if your vc doesnt support it than you wont get it is what im thinking
[04:26] <phreak97> i just realized the nvidia drivers need installing, then ill check on it
[04:27] <phreak97> works in windows is the thing
[04:27] <MrPrimate> phreak97, can be hard to find your modelines sometimes to get just right, do you got your monitor's specs
[04:27] <gnomefreak> phreak97, windows and linux wont run the same things the same way
[04:27] <nmsa> bshumate: ok then, 'thnx I'll try and install it :) ubuntuguide is a good reference for conf info, any other good start point ?
[04:27] <MrPrimate> MrPrimate, my 20" widescreens gave me hell with xf86config
[04:27] <MrPrimate> MrPrimate, but eventually I got them to play nice
[04:28] <gnomefreak> !ubuntuguide
[04:28] <ubotu> I guess ubuntuguide is an unofficial guide written by community members. It is not guaranteed to be up to date, or to work. There is an official guide, at http://help.ubuntu.com which is preferred.
[04:28] <phreak97> nope, all i know is its an lg studioworks 700s
[04:29] <MrPrimate> I will have to try to install older version if this ubuntu install freezes up again
[04:29] <michael> how do i access my win xp parition?
[04:29] <gnomefreak> phreak97, never used nv drivers myself but they should help with your res
[04:30] <MrPrimate> michael, I don't know anything about ubuntu, but in debian you should just be able to mount it (read-write if you want)
[04:30] <MrPrimate> michael, you could mount it to /mnt/xp  for example
[04:30] <MrPrimate> michael, msg me if you don't know what i'm talking about
[04:31] <michael> i dont know wat your tlking about
[04:31] <MrPrimate> yeah msg me
[04:31] <michael> last time i had ubuntu
[04:31] <michael> i was able to access my win xp parition and access my music folder and play my music
[04:31] <MrPrimate> well i've yet to see ubuntu because the install keeps failing,
[04:31] <phreak97> gonna try studff, brb
[04:31] <phreak97> stuff too
[04:31] <MrPrimate> michael, ok, yeah perhaps, was that in nautilus ?
[04:32] <michael> nope it was defintly in ubuntu
[04:32] <MrPrimate> sorry,
[04:32] <bshumate> nmsa: check out also, wiki.ubuntu.com
[04:32] <MrPrimate> michael, your /etc/fstab has to have your xp partition in it
[04:32] <michael> ill have to wait for my ubuntu friend to get on msn messenger to help me
[04:32] <MrPrimate> michael, if you put it in there proper, then you can see it in your system
[04:32] <MrPrimate> michael, otherwise you mount it each time to use it
[04:32] <michael> and how do i mount it
[04:32] <michael> im a noob
[04:33] <MrPrimate> michael, to mount it manually, you would say   mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/xp
[04:33] <MrPrimate> assuming the device is hda1 and the mount point is /mnt/xp
[04:33] <MrPrimate> devices for ide are hda hdb hdc hdd    partition 1 hda1
[04:33] <michael> do i put that in the terminal
[04:33] <michael> i just did and it said only the root can do that
[04:33] <MrPrimate> michael, you would put the proper mount line in the terminal yes
[04:33] <Sh4d0x> hi all
[04:33] <MrPrimate> then you must sudo
[04:33] <michael> it says only root cand do that
[04:34] <johndarkhorse> michael: help.ubuntu.com has quite a bit of answers to your "noob" questions (and probably answers to questions you didnt have)
[04:34] <MrPrimate> type sudo before you type the command
[04:34] <tristan> Well, I cannot find Helvetica font for Linux. Anyone, knows where to get it....?
[04:34] <Sh4d0x> can someone tell me how to install gdesklets with all the packages?
[04:34] <johndarkhorse> tristan: did you install all your font pkgs available?
[04:34] <Toma-> !info gdesklets
[04:34] <gnomefreak> !fonts
[04:34] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto
[04:34] <ubotu> gdesklets: (Architecture for desktop applets), section universe/gnome, is optional. Version: 0.35.2-1build1 (breezy), Packaged size: 404 kB, Installed size: 2260 kB
[04:34] <johndarkhorse> Sh4d0x: sudo apt-get install gdesklets
[04:34] <MrPrimate> tristan, i dunno ms true type font pack? haha
[04:34] <fractalmbrown> does anyone here have advice on how to go about installing Nvidia drivers on linux? I don't know which driver archive to choose
[04:34] <MrPrimate> fractalmbrown, whcih nvidia card do you have
[04:35] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell fractalmbrown about nvidia
[04:35] <MrPrimate> fractalmbrown, nvidia drivers work well in linux
[04:35] <Sh4d0x> johndarkhorse, then only the program is being installed
[04:35] <fractalmbrown> GeForce FX550
[04:35] <fractalmbrown> er
[04:35] <fractalmbrown> GeForce FX5500
[04:35] <MrPrimate> fractalmbrown, get the driver from nvidia, it works great
[04:35] <johndarkhorse> Sh4d0x: apt doesnt know what you want to watch, that is up to you
[04:35] <MrPrimate> fractalmbrown, don't use the nv driver
[04:35] <tristan> johndarkhorse : yes except chinese, japanese and so on fonts
[04:35] <yaniss> pvanhoof: I did fdisk
[04:35] <fractalmbrown> MrPrimate, yes, but there are multiple choices
[04:35] <johndarkhorse> tristan: the msttcorefonts ?
[04:35] <MrPrimate> fractalmbrown: such as? list?
[04:36] <fractalmbrown> Linux lA32
[04:36] <fractalmbrown> Linux lA64 etc
[04:36] <Sh4d0x> johndarkhorse, yesterday someone gave me a command which did installed all the gdesklet packages but i was forced to format and know i don't know the command anymore :(
[04:36] <MrPrimate> fractalmbrown, if you're not 64-bit you want IA32
[04:36] <MrPrimate> fractalmbrown, I assume you don't have an AMD64 or intel64
[04:37] <yaniss> pvanhoof: you gave me a lot of commandnn
[04:37] <pvanhoof> yaniss, check the LVM2 documentation
[04:37] <pvanhoof> search for the FAQ
[04:37] <tristan> tjohndarkhorse : his package is installed. and there is no Helvetica fonts in it
[04:37] <pvanhoof> it's very good and usefull
[04:37] <tristan> johndarkhorse : his package is installed. and there is no Helvetica fonts in it
[04:37] <MrPrimate> ARGGG oh no I just typed ifconfig while ubuntu was installing and I got a KERNEL PANIC
[04:37] <MrPrimate> can you believe that?
[04:38] <phreak97> ok, someone please tell me how to set up auto server and channel joins, and auto-ident in xchat?
[04:38] <johndarkhorse> tristan: you have msttcorefonts?
[04:38] <Sh4d0x> MrPrimate, i did got even worse :)
[04:38] <MrPrimate> phreak97, rtfm
[04:39] <Uriku> hello
[04:39] <MrPrimate> Sh4d0x, i've been through like 5 discs and so many bad ubuntu installs, i dunno why i'm still trying
[04:39] <phreak97> MrPrimate, i couldnt figure it out
[04:39] <Uriku> I am running on the Ubuntu liveCD
[04:39] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, err, don't type ifconfig then? :)
[04:39] <peewee> when we'll can install firefox 1.5 with synaptic?
[04:39] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, anyway, i'd try replacing your network card
[04:39] <Sh4d0x> MrPrimate ubuntu made me format my laptop like 8 times in 3 days, i asking me the same question
[04:39] <Uriku> and I'm trying to access the Hard Drive
[04:39] <MrPrimate> pvanhoof, i'm scared of one of my interfaces :)
[04:39] <peewee> anybody knows that?
[04:39] <MrPrimate> pvanhoof, the other one works fine
[04:39] <Sh4d0x> MrPrimate, probably cus we are sick of windows? :D
[04:39] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, yea. Okay, take it out and replace it
[04:39] <MrPrimate> pvanhoof, i'm installing on a friend's box so I can't say for the condition of the hardware
[04:39] <Uriku> help me, please
[04:40] <MrPrimate> Uriku, more specific, please
[04:40] <tristan> johndarkhorse : yes I have it and there is no Helevetica fonts in it. and xboard wants Helvetica font to run.....
[04:40] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, don't waste your time on broken hardware ;), just replace it
[04:40] <MrPrimate> Uriku: explain your problem in one long complete sentence and we got you
[04:40] <pvanhoof> NICs are cheap
[04:40] <Uriku> I am running the Ubuntu LiveCD, and I am trying to access the hard drive (which has WinXP. sorry)
[04:40] <MrPrimate> pvanhoof, oh i'm going to pull out the bad one when i figure out which is which
[04:41] <Uriku> how do I do it?
[04:41] <phreak97> ok, i got autoconnects
[04:41] <phreak97> :P
[04:41] <pvanhoof> MrPrimate, often the one closest to your AGP slot is eth0
[04:41] <pvanhoof> but it's not per definition
[04:41] <sewoyl> hi there! merry christmas ina dvance
[04:41] <MrPrimate> pvanhoof, yeah i don't know which segfaulted
[04:41] <pvanhoof> I see
[04:41] <pvanhoof> ifconfig eth0
[04:41] <pvanhoof> ifconfig eth1
[04:41] <MrPrimate> hehe
[04:41] <pvanhoof> :)
[04:41] <pvanhoof> and watch it burn
[04:41] <MrPrimate> yeah, let me wait untill ubuntu finishes installing first
[04:41] <sewoyl> I have an old 4.10 live cd, I wanted to know how to run in in text mode
[04:41] <tristan> I have the xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi installed in which there should be the helvetica font but still xboard does not see it
[04:41] <MrPrimate> so I can finally have something of a stable boot
[04:42] <gnomefreak> not sure you can run live-cd in text only mode
[04:43] <Uriku> anyone?
[04:43] <phreak97> brb
[04:43] <gnomefreak> sewoyl, try ctrl+alt+F2
[04:43] <Uriku> I have an assigment to do, I have to access the hard drive
[04:43] <tristan> Uriku : I think you have to mount it if it is possible with live CD
[04:44] <phreak97> ok, that works
[04:44] <sewoyl> gnomefreak, thanks,but I'd like to boot in text mode
[04:44] <Uriku> I tried that, but it said only root can do it
[04:44] <Uriku> when I tried to do "su"
[04:44] <sewoyl> I'm gonna try in qemu
[04:44] <Uriku> I was asked for password
[04:44] <gnomefreak> sewoyl, with the live-cd i dont think you can
[04:44] <tristan> Uriku : use sudo
[04:44] <phreak97> can someone help out with configuring evolution mail to use my gmail account?
[04:44] <Uriku> the password
[04:44] <sewoyl> gnomefreak, oh ok :(
[04:44] <phreak97> i tried and failed
[04:44] <MrPrimate> phreak97, do they give you pop access ?
[04:44] <phreak97> yeah
[04:45] <MrPrimate> phreak97, whats your problem you don't know what pop server to put in ?
[04:45] <phreak97> but for outlook express in windows they give you a configuration exe
[04:45] <gnomefreak> phreak97, gmail needs to be set for pop and personally i use thunderbird its easy
[04:45] <phreak97> i dont, no
[04:45] <MrPrimate> phreak97, no you go into account and put it in yourself
[04:45] <MrPrimate> phreak97, probably pop.gmail.com
[04:45] <gnomefreak> phreak97, the incomming server is pop.gmail.com out going is smtp.gmail.com
[04:45] <phreak97> thats what i though
[04:45] <MrPrimate> evolution will tell you if it can't see the server
[04:45] <phreak97> g
[04:45] <phreak97> t8
[04:46] <phreak97> gnomefreak,  thanks
[04:46] <MrPrimate> yeah put it all in you should be fine
[04:46] <gnomefreak> yw
[04:46] <Uriku> it... it can't find sudu?
[04:46] <Uriku> "bash: sudu: command not found
[04:46] <Uriku> "
[04:46] <gnomefreak> phreak97,  the ports will need to be changed also
[04:46] <phreak97> i need to give it a server
[04:46] <gnomefreak> incomming is 995 i think and outgoing is 587
[04:47] <tristan> Uriku : try to type sudo -s to become root
[04:47] <gnomefreak> phreak97, the server is pop.gmail.com
[04:47] <gnomefreak> for incomming
[04:47] <Uriku> same result
[04:47] <Uriku> but I don't have a root password
[04:47] <phreak97> gnomefreak,  it just says Server:
[04:47] <Uriku> because I don't have root
[04:47] <phreak97> not incoming or outgoing
[04:47] <Uriku> it's just a liveCD
[04:47] <mlopes> any good tutorial on how to make a deb package out of a compiled source package?
[04:47] <sewoyl> I always do sudo su to become root
[04:47] <phreak97> should it still be ok?
[04:48] <gnomefreak> phreak97, if you go to your gmail account and go into help it has a walkthrough
[04:48] <phreak97> ok, ill see
[04:48] <gnomefreak> pop.gmail.com is gmails server
[04:48] <tristan> Uriku : I understand your problem. I am trying to find a way to solve it
[04:48] <Sh4d0x> brb *installing some new packages
[04:48] <Uriku> woops... typed sudu
[04:48] <Uriku> should have typed sudo

[04:50] <dave_> i run fluxbox gnomefreak, dont like gnome, its too slow on my laptop
[04:50] <dave_> and it wont run with the link i give it for the desktop menu

[04:52] <tristan> Uriku : You should make a mount point before like mkdir /Desktop/Windows
[04:52] <dave_> like wen i type 'which firefox' is shows /usr/bin so can i make a link somehow to add to there so azureus shows up in 'which'
[04:52] <sewoyl> I wonder how many people wil lrecieve ubuntu cds as christmas presents :)

[04:53] <oris_wolfbane> how come $ sudo apt-get install php4 no longer works?
[04:54] <Uriku> Tristan: I don't tink so, but I don't understand what do you mean
[04:54] <johndarkhorse> meepy: ctrl-alt-l/r arrow
[04:54] <meepy> :D
[04:54] <Uriku> I know I need to use the mount command, I just don't know how to use it
[04:55] <dave_> oh does anyone know how i can alter mouse acceleration in fluxbox? and keep it, i can change it in konqueror but it doesnt stay after reboot
[04:55] <sewoyl> meepy, if you wish to use oenbox instead of metacity as window manager in gnome you will be able to switch desktop by scrolling the wheel over the desktop
[04:55] <sewoyl> meepy, thats oPenbox
[04:55] <meepy> hmm
[04:55] <meepy> Something I will look into
[04:55] <Uriku> d'ou!
[04:56] <johndarkhorse> Uriku: in a terminal, type "man mount"
[04:56] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell Uriku about mount
[04:57] <sewoyl> hey guys I have a question ... I've been trying to find the runlevel for textmode, this time on the hard drive install of breezy but inittab didn't help me as it doesnt say what level I should use ...
[04:57] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell sewoyl about bum
[04:58] <Uriku> I think I'm getting there....
[04:59] <salah> How do I install PHP with apache2 in ubuntu?
[04:59] <ray> help
[04:59] <tristan> Uriku : try something like sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/Windows/
[04:59] <tristan> Uriku : where /dev/hdaX is the device and /media/Windows is the mount point
[05:00] <tristan> Uriku : in your case it is the folder you created to mount
[05:00] <Uriku> yes
[05:00] <meheren> i need help! g++ is dead is there a way to do a complete system reinstallation without remvoin my current fiels?
[05:00] <Uriku> Usage: mount -V                 : print version
[05:00] <Uriku>        mount -h                 : print this help
[05:00] <Uriku>        mount                    : list mounted filesystems
[05:00] <Uriku>        mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
[05:00] <Uriku> So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
[05:00] <Uriku> The command is `mount [-t fstype]  something somewhere'.
[05:00] <Sh4d0x> woooooot everthing is reinstalled :D:D
[05:01] <Uriku> Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
[05:01] <Uriku>        mount -a [-t|-O]  ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
[05:01] <Uriku>        mount device             : mount device at the known place
[05:01] <Uriku>        mount directory          : mount known device here
[05:01] <Uriku>        mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
[05:01] <Uriku> Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
[05:01] <Uriku> a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
[05:01] <Uriku> One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
[05:01] <Uriku>        mount --bind olddir newdir
[05:01] <tristan> Uriku : stop pasting here
[05:01] <oris_wolfbane> salah https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[05:01] <Uriku> or move a subtree:
[05:01] <Uriku>        mount --move olddir newdir
[05:01] <Uriku> A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
[05:01] <tristan> Uriku : stop pasting here
[05:01] <Uriku> or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
[05:01] <Uriku> Other options: [-nfFrsvw]  [-o options]  [-p passwdfd] .
[05:01] <Uriku> For many more details, say  man 8 mount .
[05:01] <Uriku> that's what it says
[05:01] <bshumate> salah: sudo apt-get install php4
[05:01] <bshumate> salah: or for PHP5 : sudo apt-get install php5
[05:01] <Sh4d0x> but eurhm can someone tell me how to install a soundcard? i can play sounds but must be set at 60% to hear a bit sound

[05:02] <Uriku> I guess it laggs
[05:02] <bshumate> salah: that will install php and apache2
[05:02] <tristan> Uriku : do you know which /dev/hdaX is your Windows partition?
[05:02] <meheren> i need help!!! my compiler iis dead and ive tried everything is there a way to do a complete reinstallation without reformatting the partition??

[05:04] <sewoyl> couple packages* sorryu
[05:04] <Uriku> nope... it's not working
[05:04] <tristan> Uriku : In System, Administration, Disk, you should be able to know what is the /dev/hdaX for Windows
[05:05] <_viridis_> hello everybody
[05:05] <Uriku> I know I know it's /dev/hda

[05:10] <Uriku> ./HD
[05:10] <sewoyl> rednektek, its gotta be very old
[05:10] <bshumate> salah: try : sudo apt-get update

[05:11] <bneuro1> join #ubuntu.it
[05:11] <tristan> Uriku : I don't know it ./HD will work as a mounting point. Create a folder names HD in /media
[05:11] <johndarkhorse> Uriku: there is a nice script that'll do that for you
[05:11] <ray> unjoin
[05:11] <phreak97> ok, how do i get wmv's working?

[06:12] <beub> il y a des francais
[06:12] <uber_spaced> what package do i install to allow me to ssh into my machine?
[06:13] <niffe> uber_spaced: sudo apt-get install ssh
[06:13] <Goshawk> uber_spaced, openssh-server: usr/sbin/sshd
[06:14] <Goshawk> for the server
[06:14] <uber_spaced> thanks
[06:14] <Goshawk> and ssh for the client
[06:14] <Malachi> Now that Ubuntu is FINALLY up and running correctly on my computer.....
[06:14] <Malachi> What should I do?
[06:15] <Goshawk> Malachi, whatever you wanna do with a free OS
[06:15] <uber_spaced> haha.  when I first installed, i didnt have <IP_ADDRESS> in my hosts.allow file... that would explain why I couldnt ssh
[06:15] <Malachi> That's the thing.
[06:15] <uber_spaced> thanks for your help.
[06:15] <Malachi> I got it because I love OpenSource,
[06:15] <dfgas> how do i get firefox to play asf files?
[06:15] <Malachi> And I like Linux (from what I've dealt with it)
[06:15] <Khisanth> heh a solution looking for a problem
[06:16] <Malachi> But now it's just sitting there.
[06:16] <Goshawk> Malachi, ok next step is to find programs to replace windows ones
[06:16] <Malachi> Starting with a good video editing software.
[06:16] <Malachi> Any ideas?
[06:16] <Goshawk> Malachi, yep cinerella
[06:16] <Goshawk> Malachi, but wait
[06:16] <Malachi> I've tried JahShaka, but it doesn't have any good tutorials.
[06:16] <Malachi> Cinerella?
[06:16] <Goshawk> it can be written wrong
[06:17] <Malachi> Goshawk, what can be written wrong?
[06:17] <Goshawk> Malachi, no it's right http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3
[06:17] <Sh4d0x> hmm strange
[06:17] <Malachi> I'll check it out.
[06:17] <Goshawk> Malachi, jahshaka and cinerella seem to be the best ones
[06:18] <Malachi> Okay.
[06:18] <Goshawk> but they are not supported n ubuntu
[06:18] <Goshawk> s/n/on
[06:18] <Malachi> Any good tutorials out there?
[06:18] <Goshawk> cinerella is an old program and there are a lot of tutorial, google it
[06:18] <Sh4d0x> i got 2 os (win xp & ubuntu) but the time in my xp isn't correct :s there is a difference of an houre :s can someone tell me how to fix this?
[06:18] <Goshawk> jahshaka is newest, and i don't know
[06:19] <Unity> kino is a video editor for kde
[06:19] <Goshawk> Sh4d0x, when you installed ubuntu did you set the time to gtm?
[06:19] <Sh4d0x> goshawk yup
[06:19] <Goshawk> Sh4d0x, that's the problem
[06:20] <Sh4d0x> goshawk huh?
[06:20] <Malachi> I'll get both. What can it hurt?
[06:20] <Goshawk> Windows use the hw clock set to local time
[06:20] <Malachi> Goshawk, what's the difference between Cinerella and HeroineWarrior's version?
[06:20] <Sh4d0x> Goshawk, so how can I fix this now? do i need to reinstall ubuntu?
[06:21] <Goshawk> Malachi, i think that HeroineWarrior is the company that produces cinerella, i never used it, so i don't know
[06:21] <Goshawk> Sh4d0x, reinstall (and format) are windows-like words
[06:21] <Goshawk> you are in  linux :D
[06:21] <Malachi> Ah.
[06:21] <Goshawk> linux can be set to use hw clock for localtime or gtm
[06:22] <Goshawk> you should dpkg-reconfigure something
[06:22] <Goshawk> give me more minutes
[06:22] <Sh4d0x> Goshawk ok, :)
[06:22] <thegladiator> how can i umount a cd (faulty seemingly) which is being read all the time !
[06:22] <bDerrly> thegladiator, eject it?
[06:23] <irvin> thegladiator, sudo umount /media/cdrom
[06:23] <thegladiator> eject with immediate effect
[06:23] <thegladiator> sudo doesnt work
[06:23] <thegladiator> says device is busy
[06:23] <thegladiator> since the cd is faulty
[06:23] <bDerrly> do you have nautilus looking in it?
[06:23] <irvin> thegladiator, sudo umount -f /media/cdrom
[06:23] <thegladiator> linux tries to read it and fails
[06:23] <bDerrly> how do you know it is mounted?
[06:23] <thegladiator> -f
[06:23] <conn> can someone with dapper please show me the proposed packages to be removed when you "sudo apt-get remove locales" please?
[06:24] <bDerrly> conn, if you look at the man page for apt-get there is the --dry-run setting i believe
[06:24] <conn> (don't accept this, I just need to know so I can reinstall what I removed after doing this)
[06:24] <thegladiator> it is mounted coz i can see the cdrom symbol in dekstop and moreover it is a VCD and when i try to play a movie ( i can see the file) , it kinda goes into this mode
[06:24] <bDerrly> conn, and i would recommend using dpkg --purge rather than apt-get remove
[06:24] <Evil_Whisper> I need some help with compiling wine please. :-)
[06:25] <bDerrly> thegladiator, if your only hint is that it is on the desktop then it is the automounter and should allow you to just eject the disc
[06:25] <conn> bDerrly: I need to know the answer please, I already removed locales and it removed language-pack-en and other packages, I need to know precisely what they were
[06:25] <conn> (to reinstall)
[06:25] <bDerrly> conn, well, it is going to vary by install
[06:26] <conn> well if you can give me the results it may help, even if on breezy
[06:26] <Polygon89> hi again.....
[06:27] <bDerrly> conn, what i msged you is from dapper
[06:27] <Polygon89> ummm ubuntu does not boot up now... and i did nothing to it since i installed it yesterday besides installing ndis wrapper
[06:27] <bDerrly> Polygon89, how about an error message?
[06:27] <Polygon89> yeah
[06:27] <Goshawk> Sh4d0x,  hwclock --set --date=newdate
[06:28] <Polygon89> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
[06:28] <conn> thanks, I got it
[06:28] <Goshawk> where newdate is 'month/day/year/ hour:min:sec'
[06:28] <Evil_Whisper> Polygon89: Have you tried Fsck?
[06:28] <Goshawk> when you did it contact me again
[06:28] <Polygon89> im like brand new and i have no idea what that is...
[06:28] <Polygon89> like i said i just installed it yesterday and today it wont boot up
[06:29] <Evil_Whisper> Polygon89: Do you have a liveCD?
[06:29] <Polygon89> (it booted up yesterday btw)
[06:29] <Polygon89> i have a knoppix live cd, not one of ubuntu
[06:29] <Evil_Whisper> I think that might work
[06:29] <Evil_Whisper> hold on
[06:29] <Sh4d0x> Goshawk, so i just have to type that command in a terminal?
[06:29] <Evil_Whisper> !fsck
[06:29] <bDerrly> Polygon89, it looks like grub is pointing to an incorrect device
[06:29] <bDerrly> unknown-block (0,0)
[06:29] <Goshawk> Sh4d0x, yep sudo  hwclock  --localtime --set --date=newdate
[06:30] <Polygon89> well why did it change, i didnt do anything to it
[06:30] <bDerrly> Polygon89, what is your hard drive setup?
[06:30] <Polygon89> unless windows did something to it
[06:30] <Polygon89> ok i got a 120 gig
[06:30] <DJ_Mirage> hi, my display doesnt want to go above 1024x768 under ubuntu, where can I change that in config files ?, its supposed to do 1600x1200 :)

[06:30] <Polygon89> ?
[06:30] <Polygon89> noooo
[06:31] <Evil_Whisper> DJ_Mirage: You can try editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[06:31] <DJ_Mirage> Evil_Whisper, thanks :)
[06:31] <Polygon89> like music
[06:31] <Evil_Whisper> DJ_Mirage: Be very careful though and back it up first
[06:31] <Goshawk> Sh4d0x, no wait
[06:31] <Fujoor> bderrly: thanks

[06:44] <Polygon89> so anyone have any advise for me and my unbootable ubuntu? =/
[06:44] <Polygon89> **advice
[06:45] <pashaw> Polygon89,  your windows boots?
[06:45] <Polygon89> yeah
[06:45] <Polygon89> im on it now
[06:45] <pashaw> Polygon89,   what bootloader?
[06:46] <navarone> Polygon89, did you jsut do dist upgrade?
[06:46] <Polygon89> its the defualt one from the installation, i thing grub
[06:46] <Polygon89> and no i didnt do a dist upgrade
[06:46] <Polygon89> i wiped my hard drive and installed it fresh
[06:47] <bDerrly> Polygon89, well, this is going to be a choice for you:  boot a live cd and try to fix grub with a howto or reinstall ubuntu.  personally i would take the challenge and try to fix grub with a live cd
[06:47] <Polygon89> will i need to download a unbuntu live cd
[06:48] <bDerrly> Polygon89, i think it looks like grub is pointing to the wrong boot device
[06:48] <bDerrly> Polygon89, you can use knoppix.
[06:48] <Polygon89> cause i have a knoppix live cd here cause i needed to do some partition stuffs
[06:48] <Polygon89> ok
[06:48] <bDerrly> i use my knoppix for all my live booting
[06:48] <bDerrly> Polygon89, did you say you installed xp before or after linux?
[06:48] <Polygon89> so how do i make grub point to the right device
[06:48] <Fujoor> i only seem to have partioned one of my harddisk, how do i find the other one?
[06:48] <Polygon89> i had XP installed on one hard drive
[06:48] <Polygon89> and then yesterday i installed ubuntu on a completly different hard drive
[06:49] <bDerrly> Polygon89, and ubuntu booted without problems yesterday?
[06:49] <Polygon89> so what exactly do i need to do to make grub point to the right device?
[06:49] <Polygon89> yes
[06:49] <Polygon89> right after install
[06:49] <Polygon89> and i installed ndis wrapper
[06:50] <Polygon89> didnt do anything with it and rebooted the computer and booted into windows xp
[06:50] <bDerrly> Polygon89, you need to open up a text editor (probably nano) and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:50] <Polygon89> what SHOULD it say
[06:50] <bDerrly> hey cool, comcast is here!  :)
[06:50] <bDerrly> getting cable modem installed today :)
[06:51] <Polygon89> cool
[06:51] <decklin> where is the 'component' box in bugzilla? (entering a new report)
[06:51] <bDerrly> Polygon89, that depends on what drive your linux is on
[06:51] <bshumate> Chris_Tucker: you have to use sudo for that command i gave...
[06:51] <Sh4d0x> Goshawk: yup it worked
[06:51] <Polygon89> its on my second hard drive
[06:51] <Sh4d0x> Goshawk, thnQ
[06:51] <bDerrly> Polygon89, second hard drive first partition?
[06:52] <navarone> POly...you can use install cd and type rescue at boot promt...should be able to reinstall grub then.  You need to know what partition boot is on...ie hda2 or whatever. After rescue mode loads type mkdir /mnt/mydir   then mount /dev/<hd## /mnt/mydir...you can then acces drive and reinstall grub
[06:52] <Polygon89> well i didnt change anything when ubuntu installation was at partiton discs
[06:53] <Polygon89> in the list there, it was in this order: primary, logical (under logical) root and swap
[06:53] <pashaw> Polygon89,   have you tried the recovery option       seems like your grub should be mounting (1,0) not (0,0) anyway
[06:53] <Polygon89> i tried booting up in recovery mode and it didnt boot
[06:53] <pashaw> Polygon89,   maybe just the main kernel entry got whacked
[06:53] <Polygon89> well the strange thing is HOW did it get whacked
[06:53] <Polygon89> i literally installed this yesterday
[06:54] <Polygon89> unless windows has a "kill all linux installations" program
[06:54] <Polygon89> i didnt do anything to it...
[06:54] <navarone> Polygon89, are you still dual booting? And if so, did you install ubuntu on first or second partition? Or on seperate drive?
[06:54] <Polygon89> yes im dual booting, and ubuntu is on a SEPPRATE drive
[06:54] <ilba7r> polygon89 can you state in detail what you did
[06:54] <christopher> How do i add windows to grub?
[06:54] <batman> hey has anyone tried to install the lexmark x1100 series printer/scanner?
[06:54] <Polygon89> ok
[06:54] <pashaw> navarone,   2nd drive   first partition       1st drive is all windows stuff
[06:54] <bDerrly> then the line that starts with root under the Ubuntu kernel title needs to have root  (hd1,0)
[06:54] <apokryphos> !tell christopher about grub
[06:55] <Polygon89> yesterday: i installed ubuntu
[06:55] <Polygon89> installed it, then booted up
[06:55] <navarone> hmmm...so dev should be hdb1?
[06:55] <Polygon89> installed ndiswrapper, then restarted my comp and booted into windows
[06:55] <Polygon89> thats it
[06:55] <navarone> or hdb0
[06:55] <bDerrly> Polygon89, read the last line i wrote
[06:55] <ilba7r> so you have installed window first then ubuntu
[06:55] <bDerrly> it looks like you're trying to boot from root (hd0,0) which would be windows
[06:55] <Polygon89> where is that line suppost to be located?
[06:55] <pashaw> navarone,   for grub it sould be (1,0)    2nd drive  first partition
[06:56] <Polygon89> ilba: yeah
[06:56] <ilba7r> do you know what harddisk or partition you have them on
[06:56] <pashaw> well  hd1
[06:56] <Polygon89> well i think the windows disc is hd1
[06:56] <pashaw> Polygon89,     hard drive count starts at 0
[06:56] <Polygon89> how do i tell which hard drive is what number
[06:57] <navarone> Polygon89, I had similar prob recently after resizing partitons. I went into Windows and accidently set wrong partiton as boot...<s> HAd to use rescue cd to reset boot drive oops
[06:57] <pashaw>  Polygon89   in a master/slave  master is 0  slave is 1
[06:57] <Polygon89> so then my windows disc is 0 and the one with linux is 1
[06:57] <batman> Polygon89, you can always read the volume label :P
[06:57] <pashaw> Polygon89,   yes if your jumpers are set  the way to describe
[06:58] <Polygon89> cause i know i set the second hard drive to be the slave
[06:58] <navarone> Polygon89, did you set bootloader in mbr?
[06:59] <pashaw> Polygon89,  im such a lilo freak       i think grub has hotkey to customize the booting
[06:59] <Polygon89> i left whatever ubuntu displayed at defualt
[06:59] <ilba7r> are you able to log into window now polygon
[06:59] <batman> can someone help guide me on installing a lexmark printer? i looked on the ubuntu forum but i had no luck with the way they said to do it
[06:59] <Polygon89> yes
[06:59] <navarone> Poly...press "e" at grub boot menu to edit boot parameters
[06:59] <Polygon89> im in windows now
[06:59] <pashaw> navarone,   bootloader is working  grub boots hiw windows
[06:59] <ilba7r> so it is not bootloader error
[06:59] <Polygon89> want me to give the error message?
[07:00] <navarone> yes
[07:00] <Polygon89> this is the one when i get when i try to boot into ubuntu (not recovery mode)
[07:00] <decklin> is there anyone here who knows how to use bugzilla?
[07:00] <Polygon89> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[07:01] <shwag> a USB drive is automounting, but I dont have permissions to modify the files on it. How do I fix this ?
[07:01] <Malachi> How do I use "deb"?
[07:01] <Polygon89> when i boot in recover mode it has that error and "VFS: cannot open root device "mapper/Ubuntu-root" or unknown0block(0,0)
[07:01] <Polygon89> **unknown-block
[07:01] <ilba7r> polygong from what you said i think our roo fs is on (hd1,0) right
[07:01] <Polygon89> most likely
[07:01] <Polygon89> cause hd0 is my windows disc
[07:01] <Polygon89> according to computer management in windows
[07:02] <Sh4d0x> polygon89 euhm no i don't think so :) hd0 is your entire disk
[07:02] <ilba7r> do you know how to use a rescue cd
[07:02] <navarone> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27709&page=2 <-- this thread has instructions for redoing initrd for specific kernel...that may be prob
[07:02] <Polygon89> i have two hard drives
[07:02] <ilba7r> sh4dox he has two hard disks
[07:02] <Sh4d0x> polygon89 first partition is hda1 (1= 1e partition ,, a = first disk)
[07:02] <Polygon89> i have a knoppix live cd
[07:02] <nanno>  does anyone know how to control the date that applications run within wine? for example, if I want an app to think it is one year ago
[07:03] <navarone> nanno...lol...are you using time limited software? <s>
[07:03] <ilba7r> polygong do you have the ubuntu installation cd
[07:03] <Polygon89> yah
[07:03] <ilba7r> you can use that
[07:03] <ilba7r> soo on boot type rescue will take you into the rescue mode
[07:04] <nanno> navarone, never! ;)
[07:04] <Polygon89> what do i do in there?
[07:04] <ilba7r> follow the screens than it will tell you where is your root system you can mount it then
[07:04] <Sh4d0x> polygon89 how you mean?
[07:04] <Polygon89> will that fix the problem just temporarly?
[07:04] <Polygon89> (sp)
[07:04] <ilba7r> no you have to reinstall grub
[07:04] <Polygon89> i see
[07:04] <ilba7r> after mounting is successfull you will enter a shell
[07:05] <kaffeend> Happy Christmas you weirdos :P
[07:05] <Polygon89> let me read the fourm post that naverone posted, its my exact problem
[07:05] <Polygon89> one sec
[07:05] <ilba7r> ok
[07:05] <Sh4d0x> ilba7r when using 2 disk a partion on 2e disk will look like hdb1 :)
[07:05] <ilba7r> merry christmas to you too happy
[07:05] <shwag> how do I globally change the permissions of a mounted drive ?
[07:05] <navarone> I think Polygon89 needs solid instructions so he can get things done while he no longer has us looking over his shoulder since he is gonna be offline during the process
[07:05] <ilba7r> sorry kaffeend
[07:05] <kaffeend> :)
[07:05] <Polygon89> well
[07:06] <ilba7r> sh4dox sorry do not follow you
[07:06] <Polygon89> i have other computers
[07:06] <pashaw> Polygon89,   reboot, when grub comes up  select the normal Ubuntu kernel,   then change the (hd0,0)    to (hd1,0)   hit enter
[07:06] <Anak1n> Sh40x: it also can be hdc and hdd
[07:06] <Polygon89> how do i change that?
[07:06] <kaffeend> ilba7r thankssyou
[07:06] <pashaw> Polygon89,    oops  after you select the kernel  hit E
[07:06] <navarone> pashaw does he have to hit "e" to edit boot?
[07:06] <Polygon89> ok
[07:06] <navarone> lo
[07:06] <Sh4d0x> ilba7r: k when you have some time, read back ;)
[07:06] <pashaw> navarone,   sorry  typing  slower than thoughts
[07:06] <Polygon89> ill do that now
[07:07] <Polygon89> wish me luck ;)
[07:07] <navarone> pashaw must be all that eggnog
[07:07] <Polygon89> brb
[07:07] <pashaw> Polygon89,   remember after you select the kernel
[07:07] <Polygon89> k
[07:07] <ilba7r> sh3dox i read it and did not understand what you ment :)
[07:07] <pashaw> navarone,   :P
[07:07] <ilba7r> sh4dox its abbreviated
[07:07] <Polygon89> rember what after select the kernel
[07:07] <kaffeend> can anyone tell me how to give myself permission to edit xorg.cinf files please?
[07:07] <Malachi> I keep getting "deb: command not found"
[07:07] <kaffeend> .conf*
[07:08] <pashaw> navarone,  im used to fixing stuff  that has a working backup     so im normally  heavy handed  but most of these have data that can be lost easily
[07:08] <navarone> kafend in terminal type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:08] <Polygon89> wait, do i press E when the kernal is selected before i press enter or AFTER i press enter
[07:08] <kaffeend> navarone thanks
[07:08] <nanno> lame answer #536 to a support question: "read the source" :(
[07:08] <Sh4d0x> ilba7r, you sais polygon89 was using 2 disk well a partition on the first disk wil look like hdA1 and a partition on the 2e disk will look like hdB1 :) in case that would have been the problem
[07:09] <ilba7r> shad4dox that is right it can also be specified in grub as hd(0,0) and hd(1,0)
[07:09] <Polygon89> wish me luck... brb
[07:10] <navarone> pasahaw...I am gonna backup entire system to other partition i think. I havea  fat32 32gb partition that i can image both windows and ubuntu systems on comfortably
[07:10] <ilba7r> first is root for first harddisk second is first partition on second harddisk
[07:10] <Sh4d0x> ilba7r indeed :)
[07:10] <ilba7r> :)
[07:10] <pashaw> navarone,   i normally   partimage  onto my server
[07:10] <navarone> pashaw...I only have local drive for storage
[07:11] <ilba7r> take care all and merry christmas
[07:11] <kaffeend> um, I'm probably going backwards here... I should have asked how to run a xorg.conf file
[07:11] <pashaw> navarone, your solution  works fine also    another thing you can do is break the backup into CD/DVD size chunks and burn em off
[07:11] <kaffeend> I'm trying to install my ATi drivers
[07:12] <navarone> kaffend...yuo don't run it...it is read by system to set up input/video/keyboard/monitor etc
[07:12] <kaffeend> navarone - so reboot?

[07:13] <Dreamglider> merry xmas from the faroe islands
[07:13] <navarone> pashaw..was considering that. But I resized windows partiton to comfortable size and I have bootable cd with Ghost 4 Linux on it to image drive

[07:30] <djm62> mpma: /usr/share/doc is a treasure trove
[07:31] <Polygon89> you mean booting into recovery mode or booting with the ubuntu install disc
[07:31] <djm62> mpma: typically /usr/share/doc/packagename, but tab complete helps you with the rest

[07:31] <burning_bronx> what's the problem gentlemen?
[07:31] <burning_bronx> ~_~
[07:31] <Polygon89> need the few extra lines?
[07:32] <pashaw> Polygon89,   sure  wont hurt
[07:32] <djm62> Malachi: you add that line to the end of the file /etc/apt/sources.list (not clear from that page), and then you can install and update automatically with apt
[07:32] <Malachi> Ah.
[07:32] <Malachi> THanks.
[07:32] <Polygon89> CRC Error    VFS: Cannot open root device "mapper/Ubuntu-root" or unknown-block(0,0)   please append a correct "root=" boot option
[07:33] <Malachi> I'm in the middle of trying that.
[07:33] <Malachi> I think I got it....
[07:33] <Malachi> Phew, thanks a lot.
[07:33] <salah> Sh4d0x: Okey, but I am getting a error when im trying "make". Im getting a error like: grep: /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386//.config: No such file or directory
[07:33] <mpma> djm62: I cd'd into /usr/share/doc/python2.4 and I see a bunch of good things, I just don't see an index that would be like a 'homepage' for all of the documentation
[07:33] <djm62> Malachi: once that line has been added, sudo aptitude update, sudo aptitude install cinerella
[07:33] <oxez> in what file can I set the default editor? crontab -e opens nano (or pico im not sure), but I'd like to use ViM. Usually it's in /etc/rc.conf but it seems that file doesnt exist in ubuntu.
[07:33] <Malachi> Okay.
[07:33] <djm62> mpma: is this "dive into python"?
[07:33] <shwag> sudo mount -o remount,mode=0777 /media/usbdisk/     ... fails saying  bad mount option but ....   sudo mount -o remount /media/usbdisk/    ... works. ?
[07:34] <navarone> pashaw...I can't dl from ubuntu obviously...and I doubt validation will work in order to dl...that's the problem I have been having with windows update...lol
[07:34] <mpma> no djm62 i found 'dive into' as well though, I was looking for the standard manuals
[07:34] <pottoko__> does anybody want to play typespeed?
[07:35] <pottoko__> head to head?
[07:35] <Qiang> question: how do i create a partition out of existing free space ?  any tools ?
[07:35] <mpma> oxez: set -o vi' or 'set -o emacs' works for me
[07:35] <mpma> oxez and you can add that to .bashrc
[07:35] <oxez> mpma: but there is a line somewhere I'm sure we can replace nano for vim
[07:35] <djm62> mpma: /usr/share/doc/python2.4-doc/html
[07:35] <pashaw> Polygon89,  heres a thread from the boards http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36573&highlight=grub+unable+mount
[07:35] <oxez> mpma: so it's system wise, not just for a user
[07:35] <pottoko__> Qiang fdisk
[07:35] <Polygon89> ill check it out
[07:36] <Malachi> AH!
[07:36] <Qiang> pottoko_: the free space doesn't show up in fdisk..
[07:36] <Malachi> I see....
[07:36] <djm62> mpma: if you use tab-completion you can see the array of python packages...the -doc was clearly a separate pack
[07:36] <djm62> Malachi: all is well?
[07:36] <Malachi> So this should automatically be added to my update manager.
[07:36] <Malachi> The GUI.
[07:36] <oxez> mpma: Thanks, I'll use that one while I'm looking for that file, :0
[07:36] <Malachi> Right?
[07:36] <djm62> Malachi: yes
[07:36] <Malachi> And I can add stuff there too, instead of doing it through the terminal?
[07:37] <djm62> Malachi: yes
[07:37] <Malachi> Thanks.
[07:37] <Malachi> All is well indeed.
[07:37] <djm62> Malachi: (don't ask me how right now)
[07:37] <Malachi> I've got it.
[07:38] <winXperts> Qiang, try qparted
[07:38] <psyke> hi, has anyone here got a NVidia TNT2?
[07:39] <mpma> djm62: thanks for the help, it turns out it wasn't installed by default on my system I had to specifically apt-get python2.4-doc
[07:39] <ossie> hi guys, ive asked this question 100 times, can anyone please tell me where to find the source for i686sm kernel please
[07:40] <pashaw> psyke,   ask your question
[07:40] <kaffeend> hmmm
[07:40] <djm62> ossie: apt-get source doesn't work?
[07:41] <mikey2> Hi can anyone here help an ubuntu newbie...Is anyone here familliar with Vmware's browser appliance, which runs ubuntu?
[07:41] <Qiang> winXperts, qtparted.. thanks
[07:41] <cron0> When was Azureus removed from the repositories?
[07:41] <djm62> ossie: do you really need the source, or just the kernel headers (to compile modules for instance)?
[07:41] <ossie> what would i apt-get , i dont know the name of the package
[07:41] <ossie> im not sure if the headers would suffice
[07:41] <apokryphos> cron0: I don't think it was ever in Multiverse
[07:41] <kaffeend> I have lost X after reconfiguring my Input Devices in xorg.conf
[07:41] <mpma> djm62: looking at file:///usr/share/doc/python2.4-doc/html/index.html now, and I'm very happy :-) Especially for the Library reference part - do you think that the same docs are browsable via man pages?
[07:41] <cron0> hmmmm, I had it installed
[07:42] <apokryphos> cron0: perhaps from the old hoary-extras
[07:42] <monzie> what packages do i need to install do write docs for GNOME
[07:42] <cron0> ahh that's it
[07:42] <ossie> can i add a driver to the headers, last time i did it to the source, maybe able to do it to the headers
[07:42] <monzie> i want DocBook and Scrollkeeper
[07:42] <cron0> apokryphos: ANy suggestions for a replacement?
[07:42] <apokryphos> monzie: they accept text submissions, I'm sure :)
[07:42] <shwag> sudo mount -o remount,mode=0777 /media/usbdisk/     ... fails saying  bad mount option but ....   sudo mount -o remount /media/usbdisk/    ... works. ?
[07:42] <djm62> ossie: yeah, adding a driver you should be able to just use headers
[07:42] <ossie> but im not sure, i followed a tutorail last time and was no probs, on the i386 source
[07:42] <apokryphos> cron0: I don't use Azureus, but the tar from their site works fine. I use Ktorrent.
[07:42] <ossie> ok cheers , ill try it with the headers
[07:42] <kaffeend> can someone please help me restore X to what it was before I changed xorg.conf?
[07:43] <pashaw> kaffeend,   restore the backup you made of your xorg.conf  before your edit job
[07:43] <djm62> kaffeend: what did you change it with?
[07:43] <monzie> they want it in DocBook XML format apokryphos
[07:43] <psyke> pashaw: I suspect there's a problem with Xorg (or at least a TNT card using either vesa, nv or nvidia). All 2D operations are very sluggish. In KDE, highlighting the desktop with the mouse causes the CPU to max out, maximizing hidden apps is slow and you can see the buttons and graphics being redrawn slowly, konsole scrolling is very slow, and hiding the kicker panel is very slow. I've tried SUSE 10.0 and Knoppix, and KDE has absolutely no 2D slowness like in Ub
[07:43] <djm62> kaffeend: not being nosy, some editors make an automatic backup
[07:43] <monzie> that's what they say atleast
[07:43] <kaffeend> djm62 I changed my mouse settings
[07:43] <mikey2> I am trying to figure out how to set up ssh port forwarding with ubuntu.
[07:43] <apokryphos> monzie: they use Docbook, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind putting up the markup for you.
[07:43] <psyke> 3D performance is find with the nvidia module, it's only 2D performance that seems to suffer
[07:43] <apokryphos> monzie: anyhow, I recommend Quanta+ for Docbook. There's a good tutorial on some of the stuff around if I can find it...
[07:44] <kaffeend> djm62 I also made a xorg.conf.bak
[07:44] <monzie> ohh.. thanks apokryphos
[07:44] <ossie> sweet the headers work :)
[07:44] <apokryphos> monzie: there's not much point learning docbook though if you're just writing an article, I'd say (unless you want to join the team or something). There's people who can already do the markup very quickly :)
[07:44] <pashaw> psyke,  if your more familiar with kde  witch uses a different x server  i believe install KDE
[07:45] <djm62> kaffeend: in that case mv xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:45] <navarone> kaffend what mouse probs are you having?
[07:45] <Polygon89> pashaw: will the fixes in that fourm post work for me? it looks like they are upgrading from a different ubuntu version..
[07:45] <djm62> kaffeend: and /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:45] <ossie> is it a bird is it a plane , no its ossie and his speed of light ubuntu box, now running HT :)
[07:45] <monzie> isnt quanta for writing html apokryphos ?
[07:45] <kaffeend> djm62 you lost me :s
[07:45] <djm62> ossie: cool, you got the right headers files
[07:45] <monzie> can it do XML too?
[07:45] <psyke> pashaw: it uses Xorg, don't be silly :)
[07:45] <ossie> yes , nice 1
[07:45] <apokryphos> monzie: it's much more than that :)
[07:46] <arbir> hello
[07:46] <apokryphos> monzie: and yup, it's very good for XML
[07:46] <monzie> ohh..
[07:46] <navarone> kaffeend what probs you have with mouse?
[07:46] <quirky> Does anyone know how I can check what causes my laptop to completely hang when I the network starts?
[07:47] <kaffeend> navarone sorry I didn't see your post til now :)
[07:47] <monzie> but i dont need to write in XML.. dont i?
[07:47] <djm62> kaffeend: mv is the move command.  mv xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf replaces the new xorg.conf with the backup you made
[07:47] <dfgas> hmmm, how quickly can i break my system
[07:47] <kaffeend> navarone actually no probs - mx1000 just trying to activate some functionality
[07:47] <apokryphos> monzie: why is it you want to write docbook?
[07:47] <djm62> kaffeend: then you just need to restart X... /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:48] <monzie> cause the docs say so.. though i dont know any of it yet..
[07:48] <kaffeend> djm62 ok gotcha - thanks
[07:48] <apokryphos> monzie: what are you trying to write, though?
[07:48] <djm62> kaffeend: you'll need to put sudo before those commands, but if you've made a back-up, you have nothing to worry about
[07:49] <monzie> doing work on gparted now
[07:49] <Polygon89> can someone help me getting my ubuntu to boot up?
[07:49] <Polygon89> i think pashaw dissapeared
[07:49] <arbir> what is the function of the deb-src line in the sources.list file ? does it mean that when i update my machine, the sources would also be downloaded ?
[07:49] <apokryphos> monzie: and you want to write some more documentation for it?
[07:49] <monzie> it has currenlty no docs and its frontend needs some imp too, apokryphos
[07:49] <djm62> arbir: no, it refers to source code
[07:49] <monzie> yes, i just read http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/handbook/gdp-handbook/ar01s02.html
[07:50] <shwag> how do I remount a usb drive so that I can write to it ?
[07:50] <monzie> thats where they are crying about docbook, apokryphos
[07:50] <djm62> shwag: mount -o remount,rw,user /mount/point
[07:50] <apokryphos> monzie: ok, so you're looking to write a handbook for Gparted, then?
[07:50] <kaffeend> ok... back soon maybe ;)
[07:50] <pashaw> Polygon89,   lol  im trying to find you a good link smarta@@
[07:50] <apokryphos> (more gnome-centric than ubuntu-centric)
[07:50] <Polygon89> oh sorry
[07:50] <dfgas> how do i install a .deb package?
[07:50] <Polygon89> i was looking through that post
[07:50] <apokryphos> !deb
[07:50] <arbir> test
[07:50] <ubotu> To install a deb: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[07:51] <sudhir> which repo should I add to install mplayer /
[07:51] <monzie> where do i submit it? i has to end up in the cvs .. but how?
[07:51] <monzie> that's what i dont know yet apokryphos
[07:51] <Polygon89> do you think the stuff in that post would apply to me?
[07:51] <paulproteus|lapt> sudhir: multiverse.
[07:51] <djm62> dfgas: but best to use apt or synaptic to search for it in repositories and download and install automatically
[07:51] <apokryphos> monzie: I'm not 100% sure of what it's like in gnome documentation world, but in KDE they're always glad to get text submissions. There's several people on the doc team that can do all markup in seconds -- it's the content that they're interested in, though.
[07:51] <arbir> if i take that line off will it affect my updates ?
[07:51] <Fujoor> can anyone please name a simple picture viewer for ubuntu? something similiar to acdsee or irfanview on windows? not too bloated
[07:51] <arbir> if i take that line off will it affect my updates ? @ djm62
[07:52] <djm62> arbir: no, you just won't be able to get source code automatically for you packages
[07:52] <sudhir> I have removed all "#" in my repo and did apt-get update
[07:52] <apokryphos> monzie: I presume it's the same in the world of gnome docs. Best way to go about it is to just ask them -- send a post to them on the mailing list, asking if someone would be willing to do the markup if you give them a text submission.
[07:52] <sproingie> Fujoor: konqueror's got one built in
[07:52] <monzie> do they get credit for what they do apokryphos ?
[07:52] <sudhir> still it says can not find mplayer-386
[07:52] <djm62> Fujoor: I don't know the windows ones, but F-spot is pretty nice
[07:52] <arbir> djm62: well .. i dont think i really need source code on this box as i dont compile from source
[07:52] <sproingie> djm62: f-spot requires mono.  i wouldn't call that small
[07:52] <apokryphos> monzie: in KDE for example it's like this: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdetoys/kteatime/index.html
[07:53] <djm62> arbir: there should be no disadvantage to having the deb-src line there...is there an underlying problem?
[07:53] <Fujoor> djm62: sounds good, is it light?
[07:53] <apokryphos> monzie: "Developer" or "Author" (usually) is the person who sent the text submission. "Reviewer" is the person who did the markup.
[07:53] <arbir> well as long as it does not download the source along with the binary,, i am fine with that line there in my file... i dont have spare hard disk space @ djm62
[07:53] <Fujoor> sprongie: i dont have konguqeror, i use xfce4
[07:53] <apokryphos> I'm sure it'd be the same. The copyright remains yours (though I presume all GNOME documentation is published under GPL, too)
[07:53] <skon> How do I edit or just erase the RSA hosts file for SSH ??
[07:53] <djm62> Fujoor: as sproingie says, requires mono, but I thought that was part of ubuntu anyway
[07:54] <Eleaf> MONO
[07:54] <Fujoor> so any other alternatives?
[07:54] <djm62> arbir: no it doesn't download the source every time you install a package...the only disk space you'd save would be about 20 bytes by not storing that line ;)
[07:55] <arbir> LOL @ djm62
[07:55] <pashaw> Polygon89,   some light reading   http://geodsoft.com/howto/dualboot/grub.htm#install
[07:55] <shwag> djm62, not working...its an ext3 drive.  i dont have the user permissions.
[07:55] <arbir> is there a place where i can get a list of standard repositories ? @ djm62
[07:55] <djm62> shwag: are you using sudo?
[07:56] <Polygon89> k thanks
[07:56] <monzie> okay, apokryphos
[07:56] <shwag> djm62, yes
[07:56] <telecide> #spain
[07:56] <djm62> arbir: the standard ones are in /etc/apt/sources.list (uncomment the universe/multiverse lines)
[07:56] <apokryphos> monzie: no problem. I'm sure documentation for gparted would be really appreciated =)
[07:57] <pashaw> Polygon89,  the link i gave you earlier  did mention   --reinstalling the kernel    id try that also
[07:57] <djm62> Fujoor: does gtk count as lightweight for you?
[07:57] <jhenn> if i want to install opera for powerpc ubuntu all they have are debian packages which one should i use or any at all?
[07:57] <arbir> are those the only two which are not officially supported by Ubuntu ? @ djm62
[07:57] <shwag>  how do I temporaryily force a drive to 777 just for one mount so that I can edit the files without overwritting all the existing permissions.
[07:58] <Polygon89> fun
[07:58] <mikey2> hi everyone  -- can anyone help a newbie to ubuntu?
[07:58] <thegladiator> hi
[07:58] <kakei> mikey2 what u need
[07:58] <z0rz> Anyone use synergy?
[07:58] <shwag> mikey2, you just used up your ones question.
[07:58] <odat> hi everyone
[07:58] <thegladiator> is there any way to change the colors of a control theme in gnome ?
[07:58] <pashaw> Polygon89,   there was a new kernel image last few days   if you installed that update and it went bad   there could be your problem
[07:58] <djm62> arbir: to be honest, I don't know...nor would I know where to go for official support if I needed it ;)  the stuff in that file will get you many thousands of packages
[07:59] <djm62> kaffeend: did your backup work?
[07:59] <rockinchado> so i'm trying to install a rt2500 wireless card and now i have it to where modprobe ra0 doesn't give me anything which is good think but it still doesn't show up in iwconfig            anyone help?
[07:59] <pashaw> Polygon89,   since your grub/windows works id start there   reinstalling the kernel
[07:59] <thegladiator> like i am using this theme alled VistaRevisited for controls , but the color of inactive text is white . hence the color is same as the background
[07:59] <Polygon89> how recent was it released?
[07:59] <kaffeend> djm62 nope
[07:59] <arbir> djm62: i was looking for mysql 5.0 in particular . and right now an apt-get -s install mysql-server tells me that it would install mysql 4.x
[07:59] <odat> today I became strictly linux  and entirely windows free after month of linux use   wooooohoooooo
[07:59] <arbir> djm62:  so i was looking into backports
[08:00] <djm62> arbir: ah
[08:00] <mikey2> I have the Vmware browser appliance -- I would like to be able to set up ssh port forwarding if it's possible
[08:00] <monzie> i would like to do my bit for the community apokryphos , as i am sure you would too
[08:00] <apokryphos> always good to see :)
[08:00] <pashaw> Polygon89,  2-3days tops   its in my available updates but havent applied it    as im running fine for now
[08:00] <kaffeend> djm62 I don't suppose Ubuntu has "System Restore"?
[08:00] <shwag> how do I mount a samba volume on the command line ?
[08:00] <djm62> arbir: you can add backports, but they're unsupported (and possibly unsupportable)
[08:00] <djm62> kaffeend: what errors did you get?
[08:01] <kaffeend> no such file exists
[08:01] <djm62> kaffeend: :(
[08:01] <kaffeend> aye
[08:01] <Polygon89> ok, ill try reinstalling the kernel
[08:01] <Polygon89> "mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/linux
[08:01] <Polygon89> chroot /mnt/linux /bin/bash
[08:01] <Polygon89> mount -t proc /proc /proc
[08:01] <Polygon89> apt-get install linux-image-2.6.11-1-386
[08:01] <Polygon89> is that what i type?
[08:01] <Polygon89> it was in the fourm post you showed me first
[08:01] <arbir> djm62:  i need mysql 5 somehow. is there an apt-get way of installing it ?
[08:01] <kaffeend> djm62 so I tried to move the .bak that was made by the ati installer
[08:02] <arbir> djm62: or i just run it off the binary which i get at the mysql site ?
[08:02] <pashaw> psyke,   sorry  i know i worded that wrong,   there was another person with your same problem and they mentioned  giving kde install a shot
[08:02] <kaffeend> djm62 but that didn't work either
[08:02] <djm62> kaffeend: my fault I guess... in that mv command you were meant to replace xorg.conf.bak with /whatever/the/path/to/xorg.conf.bak is
[08:02] <odat> kaffeend, did you search in synaptic?
[08:02] <pashaw> psyke,    how old is your system?
[08:02] <shwag> how do i find out what package contains the smbmount command ?
[08:02] <kaffeend> djm62 ah... no worries then :)
[08:02] <djm62> kaffeend: what you can do is sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to restore the default settings
[08:02] <bobbyd> hi
[08:03] <HIghoS> shwag: apt-cache search smbmount
[08:03] <kaffeend> odat what for?
[08:03] <bobbyd> when i try to stop my software raid array ti says it's in use? any ideas why?
[08:03] <bobbyd> I unmounted it...
[08:03] <djm62> arbir: backports are hard to support, but if you can find one, you are free to use it
[08:03] <pashaw> Polygon89,    dont flood  :(    the new kernel   is  2.6.12-10-386
[08:03] <apokryphos> Sh4d0x: smbf
[08:03] <kaffeend> djm62 ok I'll do that
[08:03] <MS|a> can i resize windows partition to make free space for ubuntu with the ubuntu installer?
[08:03] <apokryphos> er
[08:03] <apokryphos> shwag: smbf
[08:03] <odat> kaffeend, sorry it was arbir i meant to say that too lol
[08:03] <Polygon89> sorry, im new to irc and i didnt know paste would do that ;)
[08:03] <kaffeend> djm62 beats reinstalling
[08:03] <apokryphos> *smbfs
[08:03] <apokryphos> gah
[08:03] <HIghoS> apokryphos: Giving him the answer didn't answer his question, silly :)
[08:03] <kaffeend> odat np
[08:03] <dailyrorschach> anyone able to help mounting an ntfs drive in ubuntu the directions on ubuntuguide.org didn't work and the wiki is unclear
[08:04] <z0rz> Anyone know how to fix this error in synergy: http://pastebin.com/477763
[08:04] <Polygon89> so i boot from ubuntu live cd and install that?
[08:04] <odat> has anyone ever used cedega?
[08:04] <z0rz> ?
[08:04] <pashaw> Polygon89,   the fix  was  2.6.12-10.25
[08:04] <apokryphos> shwag: best way is to always use apt-file (you can install it from apt-get) or just package.subuntu.com
[08:05] <pashaw> Polygon89,    read the grub thing first  you might find something we missed
[08:05] <djm62> arbir: if you're the admin, you might be better finding some properly supported way
[08:05] <spike> hi there
[08:05] <spike> mirrors went on holiday?
[08:05] <apokryphos> nope
[08:05] <spike> I can't install stuff, neither finish to apt-get update
[08:06] <arbir> no djm62 i am not the admin. i have another machine in the house which serves as a mysql server for my development
[08:06] <apokryphos> spike: what are the errors specifically? Can you pastebin them?
[08:06] <arbir> djm62:  i just practice and learn and do all my development with this server
[08:07] <spike> I guess mine are... security and backports succeede, the .locality.archive.ubuntu... fails
[08:07] <z0rz> Anyone?
[08:07] <Polygon89> soim confused, what exactly am i looking for in that grub article?
[08:08] <Polygon89> im**
[08:08] <djm62> arbir: well, you're well-enough informed to decide for yourself...I'm no dev :)
[08:08] <Tuntis> Erm, hi
[08:08] <Tuntis> I've got a geforce here in my desk
[08:08] <Tuntis> I've got Radeon drivers installed in ubuntu...
[08:08] <Tuntis> So what should I do?
[08:09] <Eleaf> Tuntis, is it in your desk or on your desk?
[08:09] <Tuntis> on
[08:09] <Eleaf> you said in...
[08:09] <Eleaf> lol.
[08:09] <Tuntis> my mistake :P
[08:09] <Eleaf> MIckMcMack
[08:09] <Eleaf> MickMcMack,
[08:09] <Eleaf> Tuntis, lol
[08:09] <Eleaf> Tuntis, does it not work?
[08:09] <arbir> djm62: my question was that is there any way i can install mysql thru apt-get. :-).. well let me figure this out myself... if i break the system.. i can always re-install it
[08:09] <arbir> thanks a lot djm62
[08:09] <Tuntis> Erm, erm...
[08:10] <Tuntis> Haven't installed it yet
[08:10] <Tuntis> the thing I'd like to do is get rid of the radeon drivers
[08:10] <MS|a> hi there. can i resize windows partition to make free space for ubuntu with the ubuntu installer?
[08:10] <llukax> :)
[08:10] <Eleaf> Tuntis, oh, can you uninstall them with apt-get ?
[08:10] <djm62> arbir: if it's a situation where you can afford to break the system, try to find backports
[08:10] <Tuntis> sure, I guess so but what about the xconfig?
[08:10] <MickMcMack> ?
[08:10] <Eleaf> Tuntis, I don't think it will be too catostrophic if they are still installed
[08:10] <Tuntis> Would I need to copy the backups back to the original file?
[08:11] <llukax> i finally figured out how to install my usb midi
[08:11] <llukax> the guy who programmed it didnt list the library he used
[08:11] <Tuntis> Well, anyways, I'll come scream back later if it doesn't work :P
[08:11] <kaffeend> what is a pci bus identifier?
[08:11] <sudhir> which is command to see loaded module
[08:11] <llukax> so i had to find it from the errors in the code
[08:11] <arbir> LOL @ djm62
[08:11] <Eleaf> Tuntis
[08:11] <sudhir> I tried lsprob but not working
[08:12] <arbir> b.t.w djm......there is breezy universe, breezy multiverse... is there also a breezy-security for both multiverse and universe ?
[08:12] <arbir> b.t.w djm62 ......there is breezy universe, breezy multiverse... is there also a breezy-security for both multiverse and universe ?
[08:12] <kaffeend> djm62 I have no idea what to enter for all the prompts when reconfiguring X
[08:12] <pashaw> sudhir,   lsmod
[08:12] <djm62> arbir: I /think/ that security covers any packages
[08:13] <kaffeend> djm62 I didn't realize I was going to have to manually reconfigure the system :/
[08:13] <arbir> what does that mean djm62 ?
[08:13] <djm62> kaffeend: I thought it would probe things...did you have to do that the first time as well
[08:14] <kaffeend> djm62 not on install
[08:14] <djm62> arbir: any security updates get put on that server, with higher version numbers
[08:14] <kaffeend> djm62 it asked me if my card was a ati 6800 - that's good
[08:15] <kaffeend> djm62 I just have no clue as to the bus identifier
[08:15] <llukax> hey does anyone know if there are better drivers for a mac mini's graphics card?
[08:15] <djm62> kaffeend: WOW- that is not a friendly question
[08:15] <djm62> kaffeend: is it an AGP card?
[08:15] <arbir> so that means i can all breezy-security for both multiverse and universe ? @ djm62
[08:15] <kaffeend> djm62 yep
[08:16] <mjr> kaffeend, the default radeon driver is pretty much what you get
[08:17] <kaffeend> mjr - that default doesn't let me see anything in 3d
[08:17] <pashaw> kaffeend,   you need the bus identifier?
[08:17] <djm62> arbir: yes I think so
[08:17] <kaffeend> pashaw yeah
[08:17] <sudhir> how to activate infrared  ?
[08:17] <mjr> kaffeend, well, it should. That is, unless the memory is too low for your resolution. See the log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for information on why DRI is not enabled.

[08:23] <Pegasos989> How do I force close for a freezed windows game install in wine
[08:23] <pashaw> djm62,    because if your good with Linux its assumed your a windows genius first
[08:23] <kaffeend> pashaw I installed the drivers - it wrote changes to xorg.conf itself
[08:23] <Pegasos989> nevermind, it finally closed
[08:23] <sudhir> christmas : or after installing xp use ubuntu cd rescue mode
[08:23] <djm62> pashaw: some of us are neither windows users nor geniuses of either stripe ;)
[08:23] <pashaw> kaffeend,    what error   does it spit out when it crashes
[08:24] <kaffeend> pashaw :O
