[04:25] <outbriber> jigp: run 'pinky' from the command line
[04:25] <geremy> wols_: which is under archives
[04:25] <Jordan_U> danbhfive: One thing that blew my mind a little the first time I saw it is that if you want to list all of the files in your current directory, because of this you can just do "echo *" :)
[04:25] <Wicked> wols_, im sorry. i read it as. "was the disk mounted" it was mounted at /External
[04:25] <wols_> geremy: learn to READ
[04:25] <unop> wols_, are you ok today?
[04:25] <Wicked> and im not getting a full dump using locate
[04:25] <wols_> Wicked: so ALL files with the path beginning with /External are gone. there
[04:26] <jigp> thanks outbribber
[04:26] <geremy> wols_: Thank you for your courteous assistance. It won't be needed anymore.
[04:26] <jigp> thanks outbriber
[04:26] <outbriber> jigp: that will tell you all the users that are currently connected. To see all ones that have connected, run this in the command line $ vim /var/log/auth.log
[04:26] <danbhfive> Jordan_U: ahahah, thats pretty funny actually, that it works like that
[04:26] <Wicked> wols_, well yes. everything in /External is gone. but this JUST happened. im hoping to get a list of files from locate so i know what i lost.
[04:26] <Wicked> i just need to do this before updatedb runs again
[04:26] <danbhfive> Jordan_U: thats a great example
[04:27] <wols_> Wicked: Locate External
[04:27] <Wicked> and locate '*' > db.dump is not giving me a full print out
[04:27] <wols_> erm, "locatate External"
[04:27] <Balam> hola no puedo conectarme a la de #ubuntu-es
[04:27] <wols_> grah
[04:27] <Balam> se conecta a esta
[04:27] <geremy> unop: thank you very much for your help
[04:27] <wols_> Balam: english. and your irc client gives you a message why
[04:27] <unop> geremy, yw
[04:28] <Wicked> wols_, i need to list the sub directorys of  /External also.
[04:28] <wols_> Wicked: yes. RUN IT%
[04:28] <Balam> xchat
[04:28] <Wicked> wols_, locate External only lists the MAIN dir on /external
[04:28] <dres> Wicked: try "locate -E '*' > db.dump"
[04:28] <Jordan_U> Wicked: Be sure to backup /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db before it is overwritten
[04:29] <Wicked> Jordan_U, ah ok cool. i did not know where it was stored. backing up now
[04:29] <wols_> it shows ALL files which have the string "External" in its full path
[04:29] <Wicked> dres, will run that in 1 sec....
[04:29] <Wicked> wols_, umm....hmm it didnt for me.
[04:29] <Xcerca> whats the command to list what drives you have and where they are , like to say /dev/sda1   Ubuntu ...
[04:29] <zcat[1]> OK, two weird things that don't happen when I boot the ubuntu live CD.. my laptop won't recognise and USB mice unless I plug them in before I boot, and I can't use an external screen, everything works file until I log in and then it locks up hard, total freeze and only poweroff will get it back.
[04:29] <wols_> Wicked: sudo locate External possibly if it's a permission issue
[04:30] <spiritssight> is there a way to tell fdupes to del and just keep the one of each of the dups
[04:30] <Wicked> wols_, i did it as root
[04:30] <wols_> Xcerca: sudo fdisk -l
[04:30] <Wicked> dres, invalid options -#
[04:30] <Wicked> err -E
[04:30] <Xcerca> wols_  thanks
[04:30] <zcat[1]> If I boot off the live CD, USB mice hotplug like they should, and the external SVGA works just fine.
[04:30] <zcat[1]> any idea where I should even start looking for an answer about this?
[04:30] <dres> Wicked: hmm.  look at "man locate" and look for an option for non-existing or to disable existence checks.
[04:31] <Wicked> i see -e, --existing
[04:31] <Wicked>               Print only entries that refer to files existing at the time locate is run.
[04:31] <bpat1182> anyone?  configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables  ... what's going on?
[04:31] <wols_> bpat1182: install build-essential. you installed gcc but no binutils
[04:31] <zcat[1]> !b-e | bpat1182
[04:31] <dres> bpat1182: look at config.log for error messages.
[04:32] <bpat1182> wols_: thanks
[04:34] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Have you tried using a default xorg.conf ?
[04:36] <Zopiac> unop: sorry, what was that command again?
[04:40] <rdehler_> using samba to setup a network printer, on windows xp i'm getting "The server for the printer does not have the correct printer driver installed."  every solution in the forums says "don't use samba, use cups instead", but that's a pita from the client side
[04:40] <rdehler_> any idea?
[04:40] <FAJALOU> what is the printer?
[04:40] <rdehler_> hp laserjet 4000
[04:41] <dr_Willis> I thought cups worked with samba.
[04:41]  * rdehler_ shrugs
[04:41] <dr_Willis> The printer is on the linux box being shared to a xp machine?
[04:42] <FAJALOU> rdehler_: system>administration>printin
[04:42] <rdehler_> dr_Willis: yes
[04:43] <buffer> Anyone know a dock-type program for RSS feeds?
[04:43] <buffer> that will notify you when a feed has a new item, etc
[04:43] <rdehler_> FAJALOU: what about it...?
[04:43] <Derander> buffer: for a specific dock?
[04:43] <dr_Willis> rdehler_,  you did install the samba pacakges and enabled the printer shares in the smb.conf ? (not sure if they are enabled by default)
[04:43] <buffer> I use XFCE..
[04:43] <FAJALOU> o you want to see it on the xp machine,,, it's working on ubuntu?
[04:44] <rdehler_> i see the printer from the xp box, it just won't auto-install drivers as it usually does
[04:44] <rdehler_> correct FAJALOU
[04:44] <rdehler_> it works on ubuntu
[04:44] <FAJALOU> sorry i was thinking the other way around...
[04:44] <buffer> I can't seem to find anything
[04:44] <rdehler_> dr_Willis: yes i have samba installed and printer shares are enabled
[04:44] <odditie> Alright, I'm back for some more. Running in a higher resolution right now, but thats only because I'm not running the driver it gives me for my nvidia card. I have went to nvidia and downloaded the driver, but I can't get it to run, says it has to run in root. Any help for this sad sad noob?
[04:45] <Derander> buffer: Yeah, I can't recommend anything.  I just use google homepage.
[04:45] <buffer> *nod*
[04:46] <FAJALOU> odditie:   is it a .deb?
[04:46] <Cocoabean> its probably a shell script to build it from source odditie
[04:46] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: driver on desktop ?
[04:46] <odditie> it is a .run
[04:47] <Cocoabean> odditie 'sudo nvidia.run'
[04:47] <dr_Willis> rdehler_,  whats weird - normally if windows tells me the server dosetn have the drivers installed.. windows lets me just select the proper printer from the windows drivers..
[04:47] <Jordan_U> odditie: Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers?
[04:47] <odditie> yes, it is on the desktop, I have got it to open by double clicking it
[04:47] <Cocoabean> odditie, it will then give you directions, and it probably wont work when its done
[04:47] <Jordan_U> odditie: Do not install using the .run
[04:47] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: open a ter,inal...
[04:47] <ScheissDrogen> terminal
[04:47] <Cocoabean> odditie waht card do you have
[04:47] <rdehler_> /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86/ is empty, and that's where smb.conf is looking for drivers
[04:47] <odditie> Jordan, the driver through the admin panel won't work
[04:48] <odditie> Ok scheiss
[04:48] <rdehler_> dr_Willis: yea it lets me, but i don't want to have to do that for X hosts that use my network
[04:48] <odditie> Cocoabean: geforce 8800 GT
[04:48] <rdehler_> so i guess my question is how do i populate /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86/, is there a package?
[04:48] <Cocoabean> is it part of the legacy drivers odditie
[04:48] <dr_Willis> rdehler_,  ahhhhhhhhhh.. now its making sence.. I recall some doc. that told how to track down the driverfiles from a xp machine and copy them over to the samba server.. but i forget where...
[04:48] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorgconfsave2
[04:48] <rdehler_> i see
[04:48] <odditie> Cocoabean: shouldn't be, its a 8800, its a fairly new card
[04:49] <dr_Willis> rdehler_,  for a start - i would check the 'samba-doc' package. and the 'using samba book' thats in there.. thats the defacto-guide on the topic. :)
[04:49] <Cocoabean> odditie, ok, nvm, ive only tried with the legacy drivers, never got it to work so i just gave up, GeForce2 MX440
[04:49] <rdehler_> will do thx
[04:49] <odditie> ScheissDrogen: Alright, no errors this time
[04:49] <dr_Willis> rdehler_,  i recall the basics was you isntalled the printer on ONE machine.. then ya looked somewhere.. and copied the files over to the samba server from some location
[04:50] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: sudo cp /home/<ur_username>/Desktop/<filenameBLA.run     /usr/src
[04:50] <dr_Willis> rdehler_,  of course now a days.. it seems every printer comes with 129+mb of a setup.exe for its drivers...
[04:50] <rdehler_> makes sense
[04:50] <Merther> How do I use grub to boot to a version of linux installed on a usb drive on a system that doesn't support usb booting in the BIOS?
[04:50] <odditie> cocoabean: no worries. I have done it on an older machine before, but its been a long time, just made the switch back to Ubuntu today on my machine
[04:50] <dr_Willis> Merther,  i do not think thats possible.. grub can only see what the bios sees. I belive...
[04:51] <Cocoabean> Merther its not possible as far as i kno, ive tried it
[04:51] <dr_Willis> Merther,  i could be wrong.. the PuppyLinux forums I think had a thread or 2 on this topic.. and possible work arounds
[04:52] <odditie> ScheissDrogen: Ok, I think it worked, no errors, just popped up another line to work on
[04:52] <Merther> good to know, too bad though.  Anyone seen Open BIOS? does that flash the bios and may give the computer the ability to boot to the usb?
[04:52] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: cd    /usr/src
[04:52] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: ls                     , can see the driver ? l= small L
[04:53] <stan555> hi guys
[04:53] <dr_Willis> Merther,  i would think it may need more then just a bios update.. also Openbios only works on specific machines last i looked.
[04:53] <odditie> yes I can see the driver
[04:54] <timothy007> stan555: Hi!
[04:54] <stan555> anyone here now how to transcode using vlc?
[04:54] <stan555> anyone here now how to transcode using vlc?
[04:54] <trend> has anyone installed the ODBC driver via apt-get?
[04:54] <stan555> hello there tim
[04:54] <Merther> thanks for the advise :)
[04:54] <trend> I am having trouble w/ setting up the /etc/ODBC.ini
[04:54] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: sudo sh  >balabla.run<
[04:54] <trend> don't know where to reference the driver
[04:55] <banana-phana> so, i just connected to a friend's mac, and i can view and copy her music files, and rhythmbox can see them, but it won't play them
[04:55] <dizzyd87> anyone have any success installing ubuntu on their cat?
[04:55] <ScheissDrogen> !nvidia > oddtie
[04:55] <dr_Willis> stan555,  i recall the vlc homepage having a lot of docs  and info on that topic.. not that i ever did much with it.
[04:55] <dr_Willis> dizzyd87,   the cat dident like the usb thumbdrive...
[04:55] <banana-phana> lol
[04:55] <ckyle> How do I shutdown X server / Gnome and only have the command line running?
[04:55] <ckyle> no gui
[04:56] <dizzyd87> dr_Willis, lol
[04:56] <stan555> i already been there but i'm having proble with my command
[04:56] <banana-phana> ctrl backspace?
[04:56] <banana-phana> i think
[04:56] <odditie> That is the truth Scheiss
[04:56] <Cocoabean> ckyle 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[04:56] <ScheissDrogen> ) ckyle: no gui: /etc/init.d7gdm stop
[04:56] <EXT4> ctrl alt f1
[04:56] <ckyle> thx!
[04:56] <odditie> I got the error that I'm running Server X and it needs to be exited, lol
[04:56] <Cocoabean> ctrl alt f1 just changes the window, it doesnt shutdown x
[04:56] <ScheissDrogen> ) ckyle: no gui: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:56] <salaz> is there any media centre other than elisa?
[04:56] <banana-phana> yeah
[04:56] <salaz> ! elisa
[04:56] <banana-phana> there's a shortcut but i don't remember...
[04:56] <Jordan_U> dizzyd87: No, but my dead badger had a 2 year uptime until it had completely rotted away
[04:56] <banana-phana> maybe ctrl esc...
[04:57] <banana-phana> gah something like that
[04:57] <dizzyd87> Jordan_U, nice!
[04:57] <EXT4> i know with backspace restart back to the login part
[04:57] <Jordan_U> dizzyd87: http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml
[04:57] <banana-phana> but yeah, anyone have significant experience with rhythmbox and networking?
[04:58] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: ran through ?
[04:58] <odditie> ScheissDrogen: Error about running Server X, lol
[04:58] <stan555> dr_willis, i already been there but i'm having proble with my command
[04:58] <dizzyd87> Jordan_U,  LOL where do you find this kind of stuff?
[04:58] <cwill747> i just put a different video card in, an ATI Radeon 1900 series, and i can't seem to configure it. it's making me run in low-graphics mode. i tried installing the drivers, even the proprietary drivers. any help?
[04:59] <Jordan_U> dizzyd87: It's a classic
[04:59] <banana-phana> anyone with rhythmbox expertise?
[04:59] <wbmj> Does anyone know of a setting to disable the shutdown option in System menu
[04:59] <CodeWar> its not clear from man ps does -c provide /proc/xxx/cmdline. I need to display /proc/xxx/cmdline any idea what the flag sohuld be
[05:00] <ScheissDrogen> wait, oddite : (logs you off19      /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then a gain last to cmds without x
[05:00] <dizzyd87> ubuntu works so well, will there ever come a day where there's nothing left to develop?
[05:00] <odditie> huh?
[05:01] <dr_Willis> stan555,  you may want to check out avidmux, or mplayer/mencoder it can do lots of things like tha talso.
[05:01] <odditie> I think that is what I was about to try, lol
[05:01] <Cocoabean> CodeWar, he c flag just gets rid of the path in front of the process name
[05:01] <timothy007> dizzyd87:  there will always be something new to develope
[05:01] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: stop gdm, use cli .: cd /usr/src   && sudo sh balabla.run
[05:02] <stan555> thanks dr_willis, i'll try
[05:02] <ScheissDrogen> odditie: no gui: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:02] <odditie> Alright, yea, that is what I was going to try
[05:02] <dizzyd87> it's like the Simpsons, no matter what you try to invent, or some new code, it already exists in the repositories with trillions of programs in them no matter what you try to make, it's already been made
[05:02] <tanner_> Question. Having a problem compiling a package. I am told i need to mave mysql, perl and zlib all installed. when i check in Synaptic it looks like all those ARE installed. can anyone help me try to figure out what is wrong? I have tried goole, ubuntu and other things to figure this out but im at a loss. thanks in advance
[05:02] <banana-phana> any rhythmbox users?
[05:02] <banana-phana> anyone?
[05:03] <odditie> Ok, be back in a few hopefully.
[05:03] <timothy007> dizzyd87: todays computer will change soo much in the next 10 years..... there are so many thing that have not even been thought of yet......
[05:03] <CodeWar> I have 4 desktops CCSM->General->Desktop Size->Horiz Size = 4 ( everything else 1 ).  Its not clear to me how to set keyboard shortcuts to enter each of these desktops.
[05:03] <cwill747> !ot | dizzyd87
[05:04] <CodeWar> System->preferences->keyboard shortucts only lists 2 desktops and allows bindings
[05:04] <cwill747> CodeWar, you're just trying to get to them?
[05:04] <banana-phana> rhythmbox.  network.  issues.  anyone?
[05:04] <oddalot> anyone know a good repository of free images/designs?
[05:04] <cwill747> !anyone | banana-phana
[05:05] <CodeWar> cwill747, you mean for keyboard shortucts? nopes I need a keybinding to enter each of the desktops without cycling thorugh a list
[05:05] <banana-phana> sorry, i was getting lazy :P
[05:05] <cwill747> CodeWar, oh i gotcha. nvm then. i don't know what to tell you
[05:05] <banana-phana> Does anyone know how to play music files over a network in Rhythmbox?
[05:05] <banana-phana> It can see them, but won't play them.
[05:06] <CodeWar> banana-phana,  mount the remote files and play them?
[05:06] <timothy007> oddalot: sxc.hu = great stock photos
[05:06] <hml> on linux, how do i open up / view flv files?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> banana-phana: Are they being hosted by itunes?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> hml: Double click them
[05:06] <banana-phana> yup
[05:06] <ckyle> I tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' and it killed the gui, it looks like, but doesn't leave me at a usable command prompt... any ideas?
[05:07] <banana-phana> I tried the DAAP thing, but it just says "retrieving" forever
[05:07] <Jordan_U> banana-phana: Newer versions of itunes changed the protocal to be incompatible
[05:07] <banana-phana> awww
[05:07] <dr_Willis> ckyle,  ive seen where the framebuffer causes issues and makes the console unuseable. :(
[05:07] <banana-phana> Is there any patches for Rhythmbox for this?
[05:07] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  over a samba share?  You could mount the share locally with some tools. then it whould appear as a local directory
[05:08] <banana-phana> that's what i did.   i used ssh
[05:08] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  useing the sshfs tool?
[05:08] <ckyle> How do I change my ubuntu 8.04 setup, so that instead of launching gnome, it just stays at the command prompt? Need some command that I can reverse easily from the command prompt, as I'm new to gnu/linux.
[05:08] <dr_Willis> the gnome connect thing - i thought just sort of browsed the ssh stuff that way. not quite the same as sshfs does it.
[05:08] <banana-phana> erm,  the one through nautilus, where you click "go to", then type in ssh://username@ipaddress
[05:09] <wbmj> CodeWar:If you right click on the workspace applet and chose preferences you can add workspaces......the they will appear in the keyboard shortcut utility
[05:09] <odditie> Ok, I fail at Ubuntu. Did what you said, got to a spot where I could type, but nothing would do anything
[05:09] <banana-phana> i double click the music file, it opens rhythmbox, tries to load it, then terminates rhythmbox :(
[05:09] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  'sshfs' works by mounting the ssh server to a local directory. that may work much better
[05:09] <dr_Willis> !sshfs
[05:09] <dr_Willis> ack!
[05:09] <dasdajs> hmm is it safe to compile a new kernel on ubuntu server edition? I only have ssh access :S
[05:09] <cwill747> i just put a different video card in, an ATI Radeon 1900 series, and i can't seem to configure it. it's making me run in low-graphics mode. i tried installing the drivers, even the proprietary drivers. any help?
[05:10] <amal029> ckyle: man update-rc.d, you can just remove the gmd init script from init.d and then use update-rc.d to update the symlink which I think is in level 5
[05:10] <ckyle> how do I disable gnome from starting... want to boot into a clean command prompt? thx.
[05:10] <banana-phana> how do you do sshfs?  and can i do that through nautilus?
[05:10] <ckyle> ama1029: thx
[05:11] <tanner_> Question. How can I find out if MySql, Perl, and zlib are all running properly? According to Synaptic they appear to be installed. But I do not know if they are running properly. I have unbunto server running gnome desktop. Thank you.
[05:11] <banana-phana> is it the same, only you do "sshfs://username@ipaddress"?
[05:11] <banana-phana> and what do you mean local directory?  because the directory shows up on my desktop already
[05:11] <banana-phana> it's under "computer" also
[05:12] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  as far as i know the sshfs: stuff dosent mount the share...
[05:12] <Slim0wnzu> hey
[05:12] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  thats the BIG differaance . check the 'mount' command
[05:12] <Slim0wnzu> i need help if someone can
[05:12] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS
[05:12] <banana-phana> well, whatever i did, it's mounted now
[05:13] <Slim0wnzu> i just installed ubuntu on  desktop, ubuntu only, and i cant get on the net
[05:13] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  if it shows up in mount, you could point the program at the /home/user/whateversshismountedto/ and see the remote machine
[05:13] <dr_Willis> the fuse tools are so handy in cases like this.
[05:13] <banana-phana> that's what i did.  rhythmbox can see the folder
[05:14] <dr_Willis> the whole way kde and gnomes file managers use the Special:// stuff.. can cause issues at times. :(
[05:14] <TheReverend> the firefox that i see in my package manager is beta 5, is that current?
[05:14] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: ASK YOUR QUESTION
[05:14] <dr_Willis> Hmm. I got firefox 3.0.1 here
[05:14] <TheReverend> do i have to update my packages or something?
[05:14] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: sorry for shouting
[05:15] <timothy007> caps key issues
[05:15] <Slim0wnzu> I cannot connect to the internet
[05:15] <Zopiac> what is the command to start GDM (like "startx" to start X server)
[05:15] <Slim0wnzu> i just installed ubuntu on mydesktop
[05:15] <timothy007> your here now..?
[05:15] <Slim0wnzu> im on my laptop
[05:15] <Slim0wnzu> windows :|
[05:15] <timothy007> IC
[05:15] <Jordan_U> banana-phana: Not really sure if this will help but check out GStransit http://www.el-tunes.com/
[05:15] <cwill747> Slim0wnzu: is your wireless card configured properly?
[05:15] <tanner_> Zopiac: i believe its sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:15] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: what os version, what connection?
[05:16] <Slim0wnzu> i am using a cabl modem that comcast gave me
[05:16] <Zopiac> kk will try...
[05:16] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: wifi or cat5
[05:16] <Slim0wnzu> version .04?
[05:16] <Slim0wnzu> 8.04. cat5
[05:16] <timothy007> ethernet card name?
[05:17] <Slim0wnzu> honestly im not sure
[05:17] <banana-phana> Jordan_U: cool.  i'm going to go ahead and try the sshfs thing, and if that doesn't work i'll look into el tunes
[05:17] <timothy007> IC
[05:17] <Slim0wnzu> just got the pc and just threw linux in it
[05:17] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: were you connected to the net when you installed?
[05:17] <Slim0wnzu> no sir
[05:18] <Slim0wnzu> i didnt have it plugged in
[05:18] <Zopiac>  tanner_ it tells me gdm is not my default ( i think kde might be, what is that or how do i change default without a GDM?)
[05:18] <Slim0wnzu> during install
[05:18] <timothy007> Have you pluged in... reboot?
[05:18] <Slim0wnzu> yes.
[05:18] <ckyle> how do I change bash prompt to just be '$' ?
[05:18] <tanner_> Zopiac: have you installed gdm?
[05:18] <Zopiac> ya
[05:18] <Slim0wnzu> ive tied a few things in the help section also
[05:18] <timothy007> hmmm, second
[05:19] <Jordan_U> ckyle: Change $PS1
[05:19] <Zopiac> but i when i installed kde i switched it to my default
[05:19] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: what did you try already?
[05:19] <Zopiac> i think, at least O.o
[05:19] <Jordan_U> ckyle: Like "PS1=$ "
[05:19] <tanner_> Zopic: I dont know then. that is how i got it running opn mine and i had the same issue. had kde installed already but wanted gnome. it gave me an option of which one to choose. anohte rguy in here may have to help you further. sorry
[05:19] <tony_> I'll have you fiends know that instead of being in bed with a hot goth chick, I'm upgrading her freakin' laptop to 8.04! Grumble...
[05:19] <banana-phana> so, if i want to unmount the drive/folder from ssh, so i can try it in sshfs, what command would i use?
[05:20] <Slim0wnzu> went into terminal and did. 'sudo pppoeconf'
[05:20] <banana-phana> oh wait nvm
[05:20] <banana-phana> lol
[05:20] <Zopiac> tanner_ thx anyways; i just cant choose, i need GDM to switch my default, as far as i know :P
[05:20] <Slim0wnzu> it found 1 eth0 deice
[05:20] <tanner_> Zopic: i tried :) sorry friend
[05:20] <skittz> hm
[05:20] <Zopiac> lol
[05:20] <ckyle> Where do I change $PS1 ?
[05:21] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: try main menu > system > administrator > network
[05:21] <wbmj> Zopiac: did you try sudo update-alternatives --config gdm
[05:21] <tanner_> Question. How can I find out if MySql, Perl, and zlib are all running properly? According to Synaptic they appear to be installed. But I do not know if they are running properly. I have unbunto server running gnome desktop. Thank you.
[05:21] <Slim0wnzu> k
[05:21] <Zopiac> udo update-alternatives --config gdm
[05:21] <Zopiac> oops
[05:21] <Zopiac> No alternatives for gdm.
[05:21] <Zopiac> wbmj: that was the output
[05:22] <ckyle> Jordan_U: thanks, but I don't know what you mean by "change $PS1"... hint?
[05:22] <banana-phana> i tried sshfs username@ipaddress and it said i didn't give it a host
[05:22] <wbmj> Zopiac: did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[05:22] <zorpo2> Question about scp... I used a symlink on the remote side as a source, then i changed the target of that symlink. Now when I try to use scp again it's still using the OLD target of the symlink... (!!!)
[05:23] <Slim0wnzu> then hat timothy007
[05:23] <Jordan_U> ckyle: PS1 = "$ "
[05:23] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: what is the properties of your wired connection?
[05:23] <Miyavix3> Ok guys, new problem of the day. :[ I uninstalled ubuntu and now I'm getting a grub 22 error. How do I fix it? I only have windows on my partition as of right now.
[05:23] <Jordan_U> ckyle: Sorry, no spaces: PS1="$ "
[05:23] <Slim0wnzu> roaming
[05:23] <Slim0wnzu> mode
[05:23] <Slim0wnzu> i did try using automatic
[05:24] <ckyle> Jordan_u: thanks a lot - that worked.  How do I make that change permanent in my .bashrc or something...?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> ckyle: Yes, add it to your .bashrc
[05:24] <dr_Willis> Miyavix3,  got any bootable windows cd's ?  what versions.. you need to boot one and use its rescue/recovery feature and use some command to reinstall the windows MBR.
[05:25] <Miyavix3> Yeah, I just did that. I'm rebooting my PC now
[05:25] <Miyavix3> oh fantastic, thank you
[05:25] <Miyavix3> Ok peace
[05:25] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: turn off roaming, turn on configuration "automatic configuration DHCP"
[05:25] <Slim0wnzu> i did still got nothing
[05:26] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: that doesn't work after reboot?
[05:26] <Slim0wnzu>  ialso entered everythin manuall also
[05:26] <Slim0wnzu> nope
[05:26] <bobiscool000> hi
[05:26] <timothy007> open a console then    sudo netstat
[05:26] <Slim0wnzu> is there something that may not have been installed since it was not plugge in?
[05:26] <cjf6421> its starting to get tough again
[05:26] <ckyle> Jordan_U: thanks... that worked with the .bashrc   Now I don't have a 30 character command prompt thank god.
[05:26] <nixk490> can someone hlep really quick?
[05:26] <timothy007> Slim0wnzu: maybe...

[05:28] <zcat[1]> has all the features I use .. library, crossfade, album cover art, lyric search
[05:28] <banana-phana> cool
[05:29] <banana-phana> i think i'll have to look into it now

[05:29] <Slim0wnzu> nopenothing
[05:29] <timothy007> brb ..... household emergency!
[05:29] <nixk490> anyone know?
[05:30] <kindofabuzz> nixk490, try clearing your FF cache and/or try Flash 10 rc1
[05:30] <Rebecca_work> hey peoples, im trying to use my digital cam with ubuntu. usb connection and appears as a mass storage device on other computers but not this ubuntu heron setup. i had previously uninstalled f-spot because i just want to manage uploading pics myself. how can i get my system to just view it as a mass storage device again?
[05:30] <ckyle> how do I modify .bashrc to change the color of the characters in the terminal...? is that possible?
[05:30] <nixk490> its a java game
[05:30] <kindofabuzz> oh my bad
[05:30] <kindofabuzz> so he leaves
[05:30] <banana-phana> Probably a stupid question, but does Amarok play mp3s?  Or at least has a patch to play mp3s without much fuss?
[05:31] <mooseman447> what is the easiest way to add iptables rules on boot?
[05:31] <outbriber> ckyle: you edit .bashrc in bim. From your home terminal $ vim .bashrc
[05:31] <Zopiac> ckyle, yes it is, edit>current profile>
[05:31] <ckyle> right... I'm using gedit
[05:31] <outbriber> ckyle: one sec and I'll give you what I've got
[05:32] <Atomic_UE> I've mounted an encfs under the root www dir for apache, however when I try to navigate to the directory via browser apache gives me a 403 forbidden. Apache error logs say Permission Denied, but the filesystem permissions are correct/readable. If I unmount the encfs I can access the dir, but I get 403 if it is mounted
[05:32] <nixk490> srry i crashed
[05:32] <u> timothy?
[05:32] <dr_Willis> banana-phana,  i think you just install the proper 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' or perhaps some others and it will play them
[05:32] <outbriber> ckyle: PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[1;31m\]\u\[\033[1;32m\]\h\[\033[1;37m\]:\[\033[1;37m\]\w
[05:32] <outbriber> '
[05:32] <banana-phana> okedoke
[05:32] <banana-phana> thanks
[05:32] <banana-phana> BTW, what's Ruby?
[05:32] <banana-phana> is that an extension?
[05:33] <dr_Willis> ruby is a language
[05:33] <banana-phana> It says it needs it if it's going to play streaming last.fm
[05:33] <kindofabuzz> nixk490, try clearing your profile, then if still crash, try in safe mode, if safe mode works, then your problem is a theme or addon, then if it still crashes, try a new profile
[05:33] <banana-phana> Hmmn.
[05:33] <dr_Willis> install ruby then.. im suprised its not allready installed.
[05:33] <outbriber> ckyle: that is my color scheme. it gives me red and green userhost:~, and then my command goes down on the next line
[05:33] <banana-phana> well, it might.  i haven't tried yet.  i'm still installing amarok.
[05:33] <nixk490> im on a fresh install of firefox
[05:33] <Phase> This might sound a bit silly, but I need to figure out which speaker is the "left" speaker, and which is the "right" speaker, whats a nice (small) application that would let me make only one speaker play? Sort of like that left/right feature in winamp..
[05:34] <nixk490> no addons or editions
[05:34] <kindofabuzz> well try what is siad though
[05:34] <ckyle> outbriber: cool... but how would you do that with just a "$ " command prompt using your color scheme? thems a  lotta characters for me to wrap my brain around.
[05:35] <dr_Willis> Theres a 'bash prompt howto' wit all sorts of neat bash prompts. :)
[05:36] <Rebecca_work> i just double checked the cam, plugged it into a win box and it appears as a mass storage device. anyone know how to stop it being treated as a camera by ubuntu?
[05:36] <maxtothemax> you mean standard digital cam?
[05:37] <maxtothemax> does it have removable flashcard?
[05:37] <outbriber> ckyle: each set (\[\033[1;31m\]\u) controls a different thing. To have just a $ in read, I think you'd want something like .. PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[1;31m\]' But to tell you the truth, I can't quite remember what each part of it is, I did it a while ago.
[05:37] <Rebecca_work> maxtothemax: it's a powershot a710is, uses a SD for storage
[05:37] <outbriber> ckyle: I think I learned how from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=470626
[05:38] <kindofabuzz> ckyle, http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2006/02/02/bash_themes.html?CMP=OTC-6YE827253101&ATT=Theming+Bash
[05:38] <lawrence> does anyone know when and how to install ubuntu
[05:38] <kindofabuzz> when and how?
[05:38] <xoptik> know
[05:38] <lawrence> should i first install lvm before ubuntu or the other way round?
[05:39] <Flannel> lawrence: Do you have the alternate CD?
[05:39] <FarmCretin> hi, i accidentally got rid of the little panel thing that shows wireless networks and such, how can i add it back?
[05:39] <lawrence> i have just installed ubuntu 8.04 on a 750g
[05:39] <usser> FarmCretin, nm-applet & in terminal
[05:40] <Jordan_U> FarmCretin: System -> Preferences -> Session make sure that network manager applet is checked
[05:40] <Flannel> lawrence: Ah.  You really should do LVM before (well, during) installation.  But you can add it afterwards, yes.
[05:41] <kindofabuzz> ckyle, here's a cool bash shell themer: http://bashish.sourceforge.net/
[05:41] <joanki123> can anyone recommend a good calendar program?
[05:41] <joanki123> something really cool looking
[05:41] <kindofabuzz> sunbird!
[05:42] <lawrence> okay and thanks i will uninstall ubuntu then;
[05:42] <FarmCretin> Jordan_U: i dont see a preferences in my system panel
[05:42] <usser> joanki123, outlook
[05:42] <joanki123> usser outlook for ubuntu?
[05:42] <joanki123> i'll check sunbirdo ut
[05:42] <FarmCretin> usser: it responded [1] 6628
[05:42] <usser> joanki123, nope but its cool :)
[05:42] <usser> FarmCretin, did it reappear?
[05:43] <FarmCretin> usser: nossir
[05:43] <kindofabuzz> outlook for ubuntu? that would be just stupid
[05:44] <maxtothemax> evolution or thunderbird
[05:44] <FarmCretin> thunderbird
[05:44] <Jordan_U> FarmCretin: That's very odd
[05:44] <usser> '?[[''
[05:44] <usser> err
[05:45] <FarmCretin> Jordan_U: i suppose it would be.
[05:45] <usser> FarmCretin, type fg. see any error messages?
[05:45] <FarmCretin> usser: it says nm-applet and doesnt respond until i break
[05:45] <Jordan_U> FarmCretin: Right click on System, choose edit menu and see if Preferences is just unchecked or actually missing
[05:46] <usser> FarmCretin, it should be running then
[05:46] <FarmCretin> Jordan_U: right clicking just opens the panel
[05:46] <Jordan_U> FarmCretin: Ok, try "alacarte" at a terminal or run dialog
[05:47] <midkniht> anyone got fgrlx to work in intrepid?
[05:47] <Jordan_U> midkniht: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid
[05:48] <midkniht> rawk
[05:48] <midkniht> thx
[05:48] <FarmCretin> Jordan_U: my desktop envirnment is seriously messed up. i dont even have a desktop. im just going to reinstall xubuntu and be done with it
[05:49] <midkniht> moar
[05:49] <Jordan_U> FarmCretin: Wait
[05:49] <devin>  .. got a little issues, i made the mistake and commented out all my kernel lines in menu.list and im unable to get past grub to get to a terminal to fix it
[05:49] <Jordan_U> FarmCretin: Try simply creating a new user and see if it has a desktop / network manager applet etc
[05:49] <Phirax> hi i was wondering if someone would help me out, ubuntu is only letting me use a max resolution of 800x600 (only 800x600 and 640x480 is selectable), my laptops native is 1024x768
[05:50] <FarmCretin> Jordan_U: great idea, ill do that now. if not, then i'll reinstall. thanks btw
[05:50] <FarmCretin> exit
[05:50] <dr_Willis> Phirax,   You have installed the proper drivers for your video card?
[05:50] <usser> devin, boot from a live cd mount your root partition and edit menu.lst
[05:51] <Phirax> dr_Willis: i am unsure where to get them, the laptop manuf.. only supplys Win XP drivers
[05:52] <dr_Willis> Phirax,  linxu has them....
[05:52] <midkniht> ftw
[05:52] <dr_Willis> Phirax,  what is your video card?
[05:53] <dr_Willis> Phirax,  windows thinking is 'going to the manafactures web site for drivers' :) Linux thinking -> install the stuff from the 'repositories' in a quick easy fashion.
[05:53] <Phirax> dr_Willis: its some form of ati mobility
[05:53] <dr_Willis> You want to install the fglrx drivers from the  hardware manager tool then.
[05:53] <dr_Willis> it should of asked to do so when you first booted up to the desktop
[05:54] <thosmos> why does elisa not run on my 8.0.4?
[05:54] <thosmos> when i run elisa it doesn't create any log, no splash page, nothing, just ends
[05:54] <dr_Willis> thosmos,  run it from a terminal - look for errors ? it does run here.. but i cant get it to do much
[05:55] <thosmos> dr_Willis: tried the console, nothing
[05:55] <Phirax> it didn't ask me anything, i'll try the fglrx drivers
[05:56] <thosmos> maybe I will try to build their latest version from source
[05:57] <Atomic_UE> I've mounted an encfs under the root www dir for apache, however when I try to navigate to the directory via browser apache gives me a 403 forbidden. Apache error logs say Permission Denied, but the filesystem permissions are correct/readable. If I unmount the encfs I can access the dir, but I get 403 if it is mounted
[06:00] <Syco54645_AAO> can anyone offer some help with klogd?  it is failing to run with the message "mkfifo: cannot create fifo '/var/run/klogd/kmsg" file exists
[06:00] <thosmos> anyone have any DLNA network media server working on 8.0.4?
[06:00] <midkniht> anyone have a good way to upgrade from ibex to sid?
[06:01] <maxtothemax> do you have a home partition?
[06:02] <maxtothemax> because ubuntu is pretty far removed from debian
[06:02] <midkniht> nope
[06:03] <airtonix> My phone : "LG Electronics, Inc. U8120 3G Cellphone" plugged into usb...using ubuntu hardy. wwhat do I have to do get it working as a dial up modem a 3g modem and also be able to access it's data store?
[06:03] <Zopiac1> so in compiz, when i want to have transparent menus, i go to general settings>opacity settings, then what?
[06:03] <maxtothemax> Midkniht: do you have enough room on your hdd to have all your files twice?
[06:04] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm having an interesting problem with flash vids. A lot of the time when i'm trying to view a flash vid it is just a gray box. Any idea why it isn't working properly?
[06:04] <Phirax> for the fglrx drivers should i install xorg-driver-fglrx
[06:04] <dr_Willis> !ati | Phirax
[06:05] <dr_Willis> I no longer use ati Phirax  so cant really tell ya  what to use.
[06:05] <jake_> I decided to sit down and get an intro to c++ today. Starting off my script with #include <iostream> and my system can't find it.
[06:05] <jake_> Using Hardy desktop
[06:05] <jake_> apt-get tells me that gcc is up to date
[06:06] <maxtothemax> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide method two; worked for me getting fglrx working
[06:06] <jake_> Banging my head against the wall is starting to hurt
[06:06] <dr_Willis> jake_,  install the 'build-essential' package
[06:06] <jake_> Did that so I could install something else. Don't remember what it was now
[06:06] <dr_Willis> You JUST isnatlled gcc.. nothing else.. no libs/support files/includes I imagine
[06:06] <maxtothemax> build-essential
[06:06] <jake_> Let me try the deps again
[06:07] <jake_> Hold please
[06:07] <dr_Willis> dont ya include iostream.h ?
[06:07]  * dr_Willis knows very little C
[06:07] <maxtothemax> that's a no-duh
[06:07] <jake_> build-essential is already the newest version.
[06:07] <jake_> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[06:07] <WhoNeedszzz> Any ideas?
[06:07] <jake_> First line of code is #include <iostream>
[06:07] <Rakeer> !info compile
[06:08] <dr_Willis> I only do perl now a days.. good luck.
[06:08] <jake_> Heh yeah perl works
[06:08] <G1> Hi, I have a very large hard disk and I've decided to reinstall Ubuntu, making separate partitions for /, /home, /usr, /boot, /var, and /tmp. I've been reading through documentation all night, but there's one thing I'm still not clear on: Which partitions are supposed to be primary, and which partitions are supposed to be extended?
[06:09] <maxtothemax> none are extended
[06:09] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm having an interesting problem with flash vids. A lot of the time when i'm trying to view a flash vid it is just a gray box. Any idea why it isn't working properly?
[06:09] <maxtothemax> extended means that it's divided up into sub-partitions
[06:10] <danbhfive> G1: I dont think it matters.  You just have to have some extended since you have more than 4.   Also, making /tmp a separate partition?  Does that even make sense?
[06:10] <maxtothemax> wait
[06:10] <thosmos> ushare is WORKING! as a DLNA media server to my playstation3!
[06:11] <Rakeer> woohoo!
[06:11] <Rakeer> thosmos: pls idle in #ubuntu-ps3 :D
[06:11] <maxtothemax> you only need seperate partitions for /home and MAYBE /usr under certain circumstances
[06:11] <thosmos> Rakeer: ok, thanks
[06:11] <Phirax> ubottu ok according to that link, the drivers are already included
[06:11] <Rakeer> lol
[06:11] <danbhfive> G1: also, you only need / and /home, unless you are doing LVM I think, but I gota go
[06:12] <jake_> !info gcc
[06:12] <Rakeer> thosmos: are you able to stream remuxed MKV's at all?
[06:12] <maxtothemax> if you want to keep your installed programs also seperate /usr
[06:12] <naerys> ok, i've looked through the wiki FAQ a little, and I'm having issues finding out how to download Flash to be usable within firefox
[06:12] <maxtothemax> but only if it's the same distro
[06:12] <naerys> i've already downloaded the package for restricted copyright stuff as per the wiki
[06:12] <naerys> but it hasn't worked
[06:12] <jake_> !info libgcc
[06:12] <jake_> OHHO
[06:12] <zcat[1]> !flash
[06:12] <thosmos> Rakeer: dunno.  Have a sample mkv for me to try?
[06:13] <naerys> thats within firefox i assume?
[06:13] <zcat[1]> normally just install the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package via snyaptic or aptitude or however you prefer
[06:13] <zcat[1]> or within firefox click the puzzle piece and it will do the same thing
[06:14] <banana-phana> I heard that iTunes 7's DAAP is preventing any music programs from accessing it. O.O  Is that true?
[06:14] <maxtothemax> wouldn
[06:14] <zcat[1]> are you lookin at a page with flash or 'shockwave' -- shockwave is a totally different thing from flash and there's no linux plugin for it
[06:14] <naerys> zcat: am following the link that ubottu gave me
[06:14] <maxtothemax> wouldn't surprise me
[06:14] <naerys> thanks!
[06:14] <banana-phana> -.-;;
[06:15] <WhoNeedszzz> it's falsh
[06:15] <WhoNeedszzz> flash*
[06:15] <tony_>  Hi, everyone. I'm having some newbie issues. I have a Broadcom 4311 (rev 1) card and I'm following the instructions here to get my wireless card working: http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-old
[06:15] <WhoNeedszzz> based on what i've looked up, it seems the plugin is segfaulting
[06:15] <WhoNeedszzz> But why?
[06:15] <spiritssight> whats a good program for changing photos colour size etc
[06:15] <maxtothemax> gimp
[06:16] <maxtothemax> gimp is great
[06:16] <starscalling> !wireless > tony_
[06:16] <maxtothemax> but the UI sucks
[06:16] <spiritssight> I heard some thing about 16bit and 8 bit
[06:16] <acrousey> is there a way for me to access files on my ubuntu machine from my mac (which i'm on right now). I am able to use the wireless from my neighbor in my dorm, but my ubuntu doesn't have wireless hardware. I don't want to surf the net on it tonight, I just want to share files between my ubuntu machine and my mac. But I don't know how without a router. Can anyone help me with that?
[06:16] <starscalling> acrousey: yeah
[06:16] <spiritssight> what is a good one for UI
[06:17] <maxtothemax> gimpshop makes gimp look like photoshop
[06:17] <zcat[1]> nothing wrong with the gimp UI, just people learn some other crap first and have to unlearn it
[06:17] <naerys> humm, there's no software properties selection as the multiverse install guide mentions
[06:17] <starscalling> acrousey: get a spare ethernet cable
[06:17] <starscalling> make a cross connect cable
[06:17] <starscalling> then give each of them ips from same subnet: 192.168.20.xxx
[06:17] <starscalling> for instance
[06:17] <acrousey> starscalling: from machine to machine? I'm doing that now
[06:17] <starscalling> then you should be able to shell in etc
[06:17] <starscalling> scp and what not
[06:17] <starscalling> iirc
[06:17] <jake_> I'm seeing alot of threads that say the libraries I need are available via apt-get but it's telling it can't find them. Is there a repository I need to add that I don't know about?
[06:17] <FloodBot1> starscalling: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:17] <zcat[1]> I only ever used gimp, now when I try to use photoshop it makes no sense to me.
[06:17] <starscalling> acrousey: remember mac has shell
[06:17] <starscalling> ^^
[06:17] <starscalling> try it
[06:17] <starscalling> im in and out so sorry
[06:18] <acrousey> starscalling: thanks!
[06:18] <tony_> Thanks for the head's up on the manuals, but this isn't covered:  I'm getting a bunch of error messages, though, when I enter the line that says, sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o
[06:18] <naerys> i have "Software Sources" but not "Software Properties"
[06:18] <tony_> I don't think you can do that in Ubuntu
[06:19] <zcat[1]> tony_: Hmmm.. my card I only had to check the box in hardware drivers and it sorted all that out for me.. did you try the easy option first?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> tony_: Did you try simply letting the b43-fwcutter package download and extract the firmware itself?
[06:19] <spiritssight> so how in gimp do I lighten a picture so that its easy to see the pic
[06:19] <phate> guys i need help
[06:19] <devin> alright, another small issue, recentlyjust upgraded my kernel i think it was 2.6.24-19 but i don't see it in my menu.list its just showing <IP_ADDRESS>, tho i see the kernel image in /boot
[06:20] <tony_> zcat[1], no mine's stupid.
[06:20] <zcat[1]> tony_: bummer..
[06:20] <Jordan_U> phate: Just tell us your problem / ask your question
[06:20] <phate> i dont know how to install THC hydra
[06:20] <tony_> Jordan_U, no I didn't. I was just following that set of instructions.
[06:20] <dfeuer> I can't seem to use certain Java applets (including Scrabulous and Literati) with the icedtea-gcjwebplugin plugin (under FF 3.0.1).  A friend of mine has no problem with that combo.  It seems likely she has a different plugin/jre version, but she has a different distro, so I'm not sure how to compare/change.
[06:21] <zcat[1]> spiritssight: contrast and brightness, can't remember the name of the menu off the top of my head but I know where it is
[06:21] <phate> it says i need ssh v0.11 but still it wont work
[06:21] <zcat[1]> colors > brightness-contrast
[06:23] <Phirax> dr_Willis: thanx for the help, i got it working by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:23] <naerys> argh, nothings working to get firefox to play flash. I checked the link I was sent, and went through the procedure and its not working :(
[06:23] <zcat[1]> naerys: what URL isn't it playing?
[06:24] <naerys> zcat[1]: nevermind, it was pure stupidity on my part
[06:24] <naerys> its working
[06:24] <zcat[1]> AHH, COOL
[06:24] <naerys> yup
[06:24] <zcat[1]> Opps, sorry .. caps
[06:24] <naerys> no it made me feel special :)
[06:24] <phate> ay bro
[06:24] <naerys> cheers

[06:25] <dasdajs> I have 7 ip's to my server, how do I setup the server to use the 7 ip's?
[06:25] <trojatra> I recently installed a new GTK2 theme that makes the window interface white and sleek, but my panel is gray and blocky :|
[06:25] <zcat[1]> dasdajs: eth0, eth0:1, eth0:2 .. ?
[06:25] <phate> ay bro
[06:25] <zcat[1]> There's probably a better way
[06:25] <phate> you here
[06:25] <dasdajs> zcat[1] ye, well I how do I find out which ip's I have?
[06:26] <trojatra> How can I change my panel to look like the rest of my windows?
[06:26] <_hase> What's the command I need to remotely login and send files over ethernet from one laptop to the next
[06:26] <jameswf-home> _hase: ssh
[06:26] <zcat[1]> dasdajs: Ummmm.. ask whoever routed them for you?
[06:26] <casao> how do i get java working in firefox/opera?
[06:26] <_hase> ssh?  that's it?
[06:26] <jameswf-home> _hase: ssh or scp
[06:26] <jameswf-home> login ssh copy files scp
[06:26] <zcat[1]> _hase: scp local_file remotehost:.
[06:27] <zcat[1]> !scp
[06:27] <dasdajs> zcat[1] i done that, but they haven't answered me yet, So i'm just curious if i can see it without asking them? :S
[06:27] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm having an interesting problem with flash vids. A lot of the time when i'm trying to view a flash vid it is just a gray box. Any idea why it isn't working properly?
[06:27] <zcat[1]> dasdajs: run wireshark and see what packets come knocking?
[06:27] <torx1704> can anybody tell me how to play counter-strike source , using wine when its installed on the computer
[06:27] <dasdajs> hmm
[06:28] <zcat[1]> WhoNeedszzz: flash sucks. Sorry. Out of our control, that's what 'non-free' means.
[06:28] <WhoNeedszzz> well is there an alternative?
[06:28] <_hase> ok ill try it, thanks guys
[06:28] <trojatra> My panel is staying "ugly" no matter what Controls I select, what's wrong?
[06:29] <Phirax> can anyone point me to a repos.. for the ndiswrapper
[06:29] <zcat[1]> WhoNeedszzz: hmmm.. not really. gnash is making progress..
[06:29] <torx1704> can anybody tell me how to play counter-strike source , using wine when its installed on the computer
[06:30] <zcat[1]> that reminds me, I should go see how useable gnash is lately ...
[06:30] <usser> torx1704, just launch steam and run cs:S
[06:31] <torx1704> it cant
[06:31] <torx1704> i come with mount error
[06:31] <zcat[1]> somehow I expect this to go badly
[06:32] <CorbinFox> zcat: i get that feeling all the time
[06:32] <usser> torx1704, what do u mean mount error?
[06:32] <WhoNeedszzz> torx1704: it won't work right
[06:32] <torx1704> ill link it
[06:32] <usser> torx1704, is it installed on your windows partition?
[06:32] <zcat[1]> last time I tried gnash is was completely hopeless
[06:32] <torx1704> yes in wine/fake_drive c
[06:33] <usser> torx1704, whats the error message?
[06:34] <dfeuer> Is there anyone here who might be able to answer my Icedtea/Java plugin question?
[06:35] <mordof> can someone help me set up permissions properly for my user (server)?  i want /www  to be fully read/write, but also that apache needs to be able to access it r/w too ..  i always struggle with this, lol
[06:35] <torx1704> now it works just i need some new font
[06:35] <torx1704> fonts
[06:35] <mordof> i ended up locking my user out
[06:36] <torx1704> cya guys gtg
[06:36] <zcat[1]> ok, gnash doesn't seem to do anything at all. no gootube, no weebls stuff... complete FAIL. Did I miss something?
[06:36] <zcat[1]> It doesn't even seem to be trying
[06:36] <unop> mordof, sudo chown www-data.www-data /var/www
[06:36] <bobernet> gnash is largely worthless
[06:36] <bobernet> adobe sucks, but it works (barely)
[06:37] <dinar> hello
[06:37] <zcat[1]> I understood it had at least reached the point of playing gootube..
[06:37] <mordof> unop: then i have to put write access to everyone for my user to have access right?
[06:37] <_hase> K, why would I get this, ssh: connect to host hase-laptop port 22: Connection refused lost connection
[06:38] <mordof> unop: i added my user to the www-data group.. and then did sudo chown server:www-data on it
[06:38] <unop> mordof, no, that's too much - just add your user to the www-data group
[06:38] <dinar> why hard disk led dlashes periodically?
[06:38] <zcat[1]> _hase: apt-get install ssh  on the target host
[06:38] <usser> _hase, do you have ssh server installed on that laptop?
[06:38] <dinar> flashes
[06:38] <_hase> ssh server?
[06:38] <unop> mordof, is server even a valid user?
[06:38] <mordof> unop yeah....
[06:38] <zcat[1]> _hase: apt-get install ssh on both machines, actully.. assuming at some point you'll want to move stuff from either
[06:39] <unop> mordof, is apache setup to run under that user?
[06:39] <bobernet> zcat[1]: it didn't work for mcuh of anything last i tried.  that was 0.8.1 or 0.8.2, iirc
[06:39] <mordof> unop www-data. i don't know how to change it
[06:39] <devin> i got windows hdd i just added in my machine, what do i put in menu.list to add it to grub, it has root (hd0,0) but i can't boot the drive with that
[06:39] <enterneo> i need to install ubuntu on p3, no cd-drive, no usb boot option, tried network boot, p3 doe s not detect it either, have windows running currently on the pc, any suggestions?
[06:39] <dinar> how can i log all hard disk requests?
[06:39] <unop> mordof, why don't you stick to how things should be done? :)
[06:39] <mordof> unop: >.>
[06:40] <zcat[1]> bobernet: all very well for RMS to say use only free software.. but if they can't get to weebls stuff my kids would kill me...
[06:40] <unop> mordof, .. until you know how to change things around without asking for support.
[06:40] <dinar> devin i can say
[06:40] <mordof> unop: how will i ever know if i just leave things alone?
[06:41] <ross> i'm currently have some problems with my printer
[06:41] <ross> i can print but i'm not sure how to use the scan
[06:41] <airdog> i need some serious help, i cannot figure out this problem with my connection dropping randomly to save my life
[06:41] <unop> mordof, well, first understand how things are setup the 'usual' way .. then build up from there on .. makes sense, doesn't it? :)
[06:41] <airdog> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5704160#post5704160
[06:41] <_hase> hmm, still saying connection refused
[06:41] <dinar> devin is there chainloader	+1
[06:41] <mordof> unop: i do understand how things are set up the 'usual' way
[06:41] <mordof> unop: i'm trying to learn how to do it this way
[06:41] <zcat[1]> "you destroy every pie you touch today.. destroy mine and you'll pay..."
[06:42] <devin> the error is reads off is : Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executablre format
[06:42] <devin> dinar yes
[06:42] <dinar> is there chainloader	+1 in menu lst ? ok
[06:42] <ross> anyone?
[06:42] <mordof> unop: what i don't understand is how a folder can be chown server:server  (my current user)  and then chmod 655 or 665, tried both..  and have no permission
[06:43] <haydn1> Any one familiar with SSH?
[06:43] <unop> mordof, you mean you have no permissions over the folder?
[06:43] <mordof> unop: *nods* even though i specified myself as the user and group
[06:43] <mordof> unop: i still get permission denied
[06:43] <dinar> devin , is it ide disk?
[06:43] <unop> mordof, what does the groups command give you?
[06:43] <airdog> i am vnc'd into my box so any more information let me know and i will post it on this thread so not to spam msg anyone
[06:44] <airdog> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5704160#post5704160  my thread on my ics problem
[06:44] <mordof> unop: groups command? sorry but which exactly are you referring to
[06:44] <mordof> unop: nevermind, didn't know that worked, lol
[06:44] <unop> mordof, open up a terminal and type groups
[06:44] <dinar> devin , do you know exactly it is hd0 0 ?
[06:44] <dinar> i think it is not
[06:44] <airdog> haydn1 whats your ?
[06:44] <mordof> unop: server adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin
[06:44] <devin> dinar, its a sata drive
[06:45] <haydn1> How can I limit SSH login to local subnets only
[06:45] <unop> mordof, ok, now what kind of permissions don't you have?
[06:45] <mordof> unop: tried to cd into the folder and it won't let me
[06:45] <bobernet> zcat[1]: dunno about weebls, but around here, it's webkins  *sigh(
[06:45] <unop> mordof, what are the permissions on the folder?
[06:46] <dinar> there are a command in terminal to know out about disks and partitions any body knows?
[06:46] <meoblast001> hi
[06:46] <unop> dinar, sudo fdisk -l
[06:46] <meoblast001> i downloaded a skydome off beryl-look.org and set it up... but it doesnt show... its just white
[06:46] <mordof> unop: ah, x isn't anywhere in the permission list.. odd, thought i put it on there. hold on, lol
[06:46] <airdog> haydn1 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-383185.html
[06:46] <haydn1> airdog: Thanks!
[06:47] <mordof> unop: ah, right. 6 is just rw, not x
[06:47] <airdog> haydn1 thank google ;)
[06:47] <bobertdos> meoblast001: Hardy doesn't support Beryl anymore. You should be able to accomplish the Skydome effect through compiz.
[06:47] <meoblast001> ok.. i think i figured it out
[06:47] <meoblast001> it must be png
[06:47] <haydn1> I've been on there for an hour! What was your search string
[06:47] <ekow> Ok I'm stumped now... I installed a fresh version of Ubuntu with intentions of dual booting with vista or xp, however neither worked with the partition I created with Gparted.  So then I did a fresh install of windows vista, intending to shrink the hd and install Ubuntu... that didn't work either, ugh...
[06:47] <airdog> haydn1 ubuntu limit ssh to local subnets
[06:48] <unop> haydn1, have sshd listen only the address in the local subnet or use iptables to restrict access from local subnets only -- the latter is preferred
[06:48] <dinar> devin try sudo fdisk -l if you can.. i think you cannot
[06:48] <dinar> devin , are you in grub's terminal?
[06:48] <haydn1> unop: iptables from my firewall?
[06:49] <unop> haydn1, iptables is the firewall
[06:49] <airdog> haydn1 - firestarter is easy gui to configure iptables by ssh port limiting only to local ips
[06:49] <Sphero> anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04?
[06:49] <mordof> unop: if i chown server:www-data and mod as 775 is that ok?
[06:49] <borisof> vcaw2
[06:49] <dinar> in that computer in grub's terminal try "help" and know out what is hdn,n code of that disk
[06:49] <haydn1> excellent, can I do that at the router level
[06:49] <dinar> devin ^^^
[06:49] <bobertdos> ekow: Could you be a little more specific? How is it "not working?"
[06:49] <unop> mordof, well, it's ok ... but does it suit your purpose, i dunno
[06:50] <mordof> unop: i think it should
[06:50] <devin> dinar, I'm on my laptop. but I'm logged in linux on my other machine, i just can't get the xp partition to boot. anyhow fdisk -l shows my windows drive as, /dev/sdb1
[06:50] <airdog> anyone with ppp0 wireless card internet connection sharing exp. i need help... my guess is its a iptables issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5704160#post5704160
[06:50] <dinar> i then it is not hd 0 0
[06:51] <mordof> unop: i keep forgetting x is required to browse through folders, lol. that's the biggest thing i keep messing up xD
[06:51] <dinar> it is (hd1,0) i think
[06:51] <dinar> devin ^^
[06:51] <ekow> bobertdos: All of the partitions I've created aren't recognized or aren't supported when I go to install the 2nd OS.
[06:51] <Sphero> anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04?
[06:51] <devin> dinar, i try that
[06:52] <bobertdos> ekow: using SATA drives?
[06:52] <angel> ikuttann
[06:52] <mordof> unop: i mounted /www by itself to seperate it from my /home as well as / partitions.. hopefully that'll keep it a bit safer

[06:55] <airdog> anyone have any ideas on my issue?
[06:56] <Sphero> anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04?
[06:57] <airdog> or know somone who could help?
[06:57] <bobertdos> ekow: You said you've tried both directions, Windows then Ubuntu, Ubuntu then Windows............Generally Windows does need to be first........If you had a means of backing things up, I'd recommend wiping the drive and starting from scratch, but.........
[06:57] <Syco54645_AAO> can anyone offer some help with klogd?  it is failing to run with the message "mkfifo: cannot create fifo '/var/run/klogd/kmsg" file exists
[06:58] <ekow> bobertdos: Oh yeah I've got everything backed up.
[06:58] <devin> eh, no luck
[06:58] <bobertdos> ekow: I personally wouldn't involve gparted at all. I'd let Windows handle most of the partitions, including just leaving completely unallocated space for Ubuntu later.
[06:59] <friedtofu> gparted is awesome - why not? lol
[06:59] <unop> Syco54645_AAO, try this. sudo mv -vi /var/run/klogd/kmsg{,.bkp}
[07:00] <bobertdos> friedtofu: In general, gparted is awesome, yes, but in this situation, I think it's just another variable he doesn't need right now.
[07:00] <ekow> bobertdos: That's what I did the first time... I was thinking I might try an alternative partition editor in Vista, the first time I just used the native disk manager
[07:00] <airdog> mellowd: <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:00] <friedtofu> the native disk manager resizer in vista doesnt allow much resizing...
[07:00] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: i was afraid to try tat, but i will, then i need to boot to my other kernel.  i am thinking that it is just that i do not have the option enabled in the .config file for the kernel
[07:00] <meoblast001> is wubi-installer stable now?
[07:00] <meoblast001> im recommmending it to someone
[07:00] <ekow> Yeah that's true... it's lame
[07:01] <meoblast001> and when i used it a year ago it messed up my system
[07:01] <friedtofu> meoblast001: well i tried it on someone's computer - it worked
[07:01] <Syco54645_AAO> because klogd works fine on the generic ubuntu, but not on the one that i compiled myself
[07:01] <meoblast001> friedtofu: ok.. thanx
[07:02] <bobertdos> ekow: I confess to being a little outdated when it comes to this. I have never dual-booted with Vista. I actually wiped my Vista system completely and installed Ubuntu on it alone. Plus, I've also never worked with SATA drives.
[07:03] <meoblast001> im both helping a new user and trying to get a new user
[07:03] <Flannel> meoblast001: wubi is stable enough to be official
[07:03] <bullgard4> What is the function of the Xorg process on my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer? (It consumes 2.3 %CPU according to top, by far the most of all processes.)
[07:03] <WhoNeedszzz> aw crap, I just messed up flash
[07:04] <Flannel> bullgard4: xorg is what handles your GUI
[07:04] <WhoNeedszzz> what's the best way to install flash in ubuntu?
[07:04] <unop> bullgard4, it's the X server .. handles your desktop applications
[07:04] <Flannel> bullgard4: As well as HID stuff
[07:04] <unop> bullgard4, and 2.3% is not so much to be honest.
[07:04] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: In Hardy, probably just through the repos, version 9 revision 124 along with libflashsupport
[07:04] <Flannel> bullgard4: Its likely the input stuff is whats causing it to be so high.  Every keypress and mouse movement is an interrupt, etc.
[07:04] <bullgard4> Flannel: What does 'HID' stand for?
[07:05] <Flannel> bullgard4: human interface device
[07:05] <Sphero> anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04?
[07:05] <unop> bullgard4, things like pointing devices, keyboards, etc
[07:06] <bullgard4> Flannel: I do no input: NO key press and no mouse movement. Still Xorg loads the CPU with 2.3% of its time. A static setup does not need to make the CPU work, I would think.
[07:06] <naerys> so what sort of options do I have for customizing the Gnome GUI? (or where can I read about it)
[07:07] <WhoNeedszzz> err well i got it working for youtube but when I try and watch a news video on wdsu.com it actually crashes firefox
[07:07] <naerys> as in, make it look fancier, similar to windows themes
[07:07] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: 9 or 10?
[07:07] <ekow> bobertdos: Oh np, thanks for the help anyways, I'll keep trying
[07:07] <Flannel> bullgard4: there's still a bit of polling and interprocess communication that goes on, yes.
[07:07] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: that didnt work, still hung at boot
[07:08] <cellofellow> naerys: GTK widget themes, window borders for Metacity and Emerald, and icon themes. All available at gnome-look.org.
[07:08] <unop> Syco54645_AAO, any error messages at all?
[07:08] <naerys> cellofellow: thanks!
[07:08] <bullgard4> Flannel, unop: Thank you for comenting.
[07:08] <bullgard4> Flannel, unop: Thank you for commenting.
[07:08] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: ah well it seemed to make it 10 by default
[07:08] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: nope, i disabled the ubuntu splash so when things were saying [ok] klogd just sat there
[07:09] <unop> Syco54645_AAO, hmm, does the system boot up into recovery mode?
[07:09] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: If you go into Firefox, what's listed under about:plugins?
[07:09] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: this is a custom kernel that i am booting.  the system will eventually boot once it has timed out
[07:09] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: ok i forced version 9 so now it just shows gray boxes
[07:10] <Syco54645_AAO> unop and then it works fine.  i can either disable kernel logging (i dont want to) or fix this issue
[07:10] <unop> Syco54645_AAO, errm ok .. do the default kernels boot up ok?
[07:10] <Syco54645_AAO> bu ti cannot figure out how to fix
[07:10] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: yes
[07:10] <wolfman3k5> I am trying to Install Ubuntu 8.04 on my system which is a Q9550+ASUS P5Q Deluxe (P45) motherboard, 8GB RAM. It won't install. Any advice would be helpfull, and I would like to know if there are any known issues with the Intel P45 chipset. Thank you
[07:10] <deakillo> hi
[07:11] <deakillo> i really need help.. something wrong is happening to my desktop
[07:11] <bobertdos> wolfman3k5: Are you sure you've got the 64-bit version?
[07:11] <unop> Syco54645_AAO, have you checked the log files for any indication as to what might be wrong? /var/log/*
[07:11] <WhoNeedszzz> deakillo: VAGUE
 Absolutely:)
[07:11] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: yes and i saw nothing out of the ordinary
[07:11] <deakillo> its all blue color.. my desktop image disappear and when i try right click.. nothing happens :S
[07:12] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: i based this kernel off of the linpus install that was on here before.  it did not have the klogd running, so i am thinking i missed something when compiling the kernel.
[07:12] <bobertdos> wolfman3k5: Hmm, how far do you get?
[07:12] <unop> Syco54645_AAO, not sure then, troubleshooting this is beyond my abilities .. I would go back and scrutinise the log files a little harder - apart from that - i'm out of ideas
[07:13] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: What is listed under about:plugins?
 After I hit <ENTER> to install ubuntu, I get the Ubuntu Logo, and the bar moves a few times, and then I get a command line and that's it
[07:13] <WhoNeedszzz> File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[07:13] <WhoNeedszzz>     Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124
[07:13] <Syco54645_AAO> unop: fair enough.  thanks for trying anyways, it was more than anyone else had one :D
[07:13] <ckyle> is gksudo safe to use? it doesn't prompt me for a password when I click on it...
[07:14] <airtonix> click on it? it s cli cmd
[07:14] <bobertdos> wolfman3k5: Is it a regular login prompt? Have you tried logging in as root?
[07:14] <airtonix> <- confused
[07:14] <nandemonai> What airtonix said.
[07:14] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: look up
[07:14] <ckyle> I created a link on my desktop to "gksudo nautilus" - just have to double-click on it... no password is asked for...
[07:14] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Ah you're running a 64-bit system, yes?
[07:15] <WhoNeedszzz> nope
[07:15] <dres> ckyle: have you entered a password in the near past?
[07:15] <ckyle> dres: yes
[07:15] <deakillo> hi can someone help me.. something very weird its going on with my desktop..  its all blue color.. my desktop image disappear and when i try right click.. nothing happens :S
 no, it's actually unussual. I've installed Ubuntu before on a iMac and older systems, and everything went fine. Only on my brand new Workstation this seems to happen. I don't know why I should try to login as root, since I can't get it to install
[07:15] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Well then it's weird that flash would be in the wrapper.
[07:15] <nandemonai> Ah that would be why ckyle :)
[07:16] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: ok then what is the best way to install it? Clearly I installed a retarded version
[07:16] <dres> ckyle: that's why.  don't run a sudo for 15 minutes or so and try again.
[07:16] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Did you install it from the repos or did you let Firefox do it itself?
[07:17] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: repos. ff won't do it itself for some reason
[07:17] <wolfman3k5>  bobertdos could it be that the kernel in Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't support the P45 chipset?
[07:17] <ekow> One more question, is there any way to install ubuntu with wubi with more than just 30 gb max?
[07:17] <ckyle> nandemonai: is "gksudo nautilus" safe to use if I only use it for a couple of things then close?
[07:17] <Flannel> ckyle: Yes, just be extremely careful
[07:17] <nandemonai> ckyle, Sure is just yeah be careful what you do.
[07:17] <Flannel> dres, ckyle: you can also clear the password cache with "sudo -k"
[07:18] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Purge it, then look at about:plugins again for anything else that looks flash-like.
[07:18] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Go into a terminal and type sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree

[07:19] <mamoru_new_here> how to add printer on win xp shared printer?
[07:20] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: ok now what?
[07:20] <nandemonai> ckyle, could even change your launcher to something like 'gksudo nautilus && sudo -k' to clear password cache for better security if your worried aobut someone reopening the link when your afk etc.

[07:20] <Jonny> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[07:20] <WhoNeedszzz> aye
[07:21] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Does about:plugins list any other versions of flash or gnash or anything like that?
[07:23] <mamoru_new_here> bobertdos: so i do need linux based server to share printer?
[07:23] <asho79> has anyone had any trouble bluetoothing from a mobile phone to ubuntu?
[07:23] <bobertdos> mamoru_new_here: No, you just need to install all the Samba packages on your Ubuntu machine.
[07:23] <AaronChen> hello all
[07:23] <mamoru_new_here> ow okay
[07:24] <AaronChen> I need help
[07:24] <bobertdos> AaronChen: Ask and we shall attempt to give.
[07:25] <AaronChen> I have about 102 files like that [.......?..?..?].friends.sx1.rmvb
[07:26] <susa24> hello
[07:26] <bobertdos> AaronChen: Really weirdly encoded RealVideo files?
[07:26] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: nope
[07:26] <AaronChen> No,bobertdos
[07:26] <AaronChen> is rename
[07:27] <Jonny> anyone here think they could help me with this problem. Ive used the wibi installer to install Ubuntu and it made a 15 gig partition on my F:\ . All my games are installed on this drive aswell , i downloaded whine last night cause i found a web site that says i can use it to play call of duty 4 in linux. So i open up " computer " off my ubuntu bar only to find out i cant find any of the games that where on F:\ drive in
[07:27] <Jonny>  windows , what am i missing here?
[07:27] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Then I'd try reinstalling flash 9 from the repos, and also include libflashsupport. If that doesn't work, I can walk you through flash 10.
[07:27] <Flannel> Jonny: You might have more luck asking in #winehq
[07:27] <bobertdos> AaronChen: So what are you wanting to do?
[07:28] <Jonny> but say i just wante dto see that drive will all my games on it? i cant find it anywhere
[07:28] <susa24> i have mythbuntu installed and i have a couple of problems i cannot sort out on it
[07:28] <hateball> !wine | Jonny
[07:28] <AaronChen> yes , I use rename 's/\[//' ,so the name become like that ....].friends.sx1.rmvb
[07:29] <susa24> Is their a way of inserting a dvd or cd in the drive and automatically copying the contents of the disk to a specific location, and sort them into Video, Music etc..?
[07:29] <Jonny> right now the problem isnt trying to run the games in whine its just finding the partition that the games are on
[07:30] <AaronChen> but I just want the file name like friends.xs1.rmvb without .....?..?..?]
[07:30] <AaronChen> how to do that bobertdos
[07:31] <odditie> Question: Any way to restart my sound without logging out then back in?
[07:31] <bobertdos> AaronChen: Well, graphically, you can just select the files, hit F2 and rename them.
[07:31] <bobertdos> odditie: In the terminal -- sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[07:32] <AaronChen> bobertdos,but I have about 102 files
[07:32] <super6> ubuntu isn't recognizing my second monitor, how do i fix that?
[07:32] <unop> AaronChen, rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//' [.......?..?..?].*.rmvb
[07:32] <AaronChen> so much,so I think why are not we use rename
[07:33] <bobertdos> AaronChen: True, I believe there are packages in the repos for batch renaming.
[07:33] <xim> isnt there some way using grep to search for a particular file by title or content?
[07:33] <AaronChen> yes
[07:33] <Prathibh> I am getting the following error "An error occured whie adding files to archive" while right-clicking a folder and creating archive
[07:33] <unop> AaronChen, actually.   rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//'  *.rmvb
[07:35] <odditie> Thank you bobertdos
[07:35] <odditie> next, can anyone tell me why my mic isn't working on Teamspeak?
[07:35] <devin> dinar?
[07:35] <AaronChen> bobertdos: yes ,but now the file name like .....?..?..].friends.sx1.rmvb
[07:35] <unop> xim, what determines a files title or content? are you talking about html files?
[07:36] <WhoNeedszzz> bobertdos: it just has gray boxes here: http://www.wdsu.com/video/17356407/index.html
[07:36] <AaronChen> become hinden files now
[07:36] <unop> AaronChen, did you not get my suggestion up there?
[07:36] <devin> i got a second hdd with windows on it, what do i add in menu.list for ex: (hd1,
[07:36] <unop> AaronChen, change the glob to .*.rmvb
[07:36] <unop> AaronChen,  rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//'  .*.rmvb
[07:37] <devin> ,0) fdisk shows windows being on /dev/sdb1
[07:37] <xim> sorry i was being kind of vauge, just as a file search type of command by title, or possibly searching for files containing a string
[07:37] <AaronChen> unop, I got that
[07:37] <xim> or would that take more complex shelscripting
[07:37] <Liverbones> Hello, people.
[07:37] <bobertdos> WhoNeedszzz: Okay, you can PM me if you want, 'cause this might get messy.
[07:37] <unop> xim, i don't get it. doesn't this do that?  grep string file
[07:38] <unop> xim, or perhaps this?  grep string file /dev/null
[07:38] <xim> but that searches one file for a string, i mean searching your file system for files with that string
[07:39] <unop> xim, do you know where in the system you want to limit searching to?
[07:39] <AaronChen> unop,bobertdos: but , the files name like .....?..?..?].frends.xs1.rmvb,not [.......?..?..?].friends.sx1.rmvb
[07:39] <unop> xim, grep -R string /path/
[07:39] <xim> i was just curious more theoretically its not a problem at the moment or anything
[07:39] <xim> i see though
[07:40] <AaronChen> with out the '[',become a hide file
[07:40] <lordofwar> 人呢？
[07:40] <lordofwar> HI
[07:40] <lordofwar> 人呢？
[07:40] <Liverbones> Pardon the interruption, but is anyone here using Ubuntu on a laptop with 1280x800 resolution? Ubuntu seems to not like this too much.
[07:41] <lordofwar> 有懂中没？
[07:41] <LSD|Ninja> Liverbones: It seemed to work fine on my MacBook
[07:41] <hume> hi..anyone here can help with bluetooth? My laptop is set to be discoverable and to accept connections, but other devices cannot discover it ... what to do?
[07:41] <Liverbones> I wish I had a MacBook, heh.
[07:41] <Liverbones> I'm using a Gateway.
[07:41] <Flannel> !cn | lordofwar
[07:41] <Liverbones> The resolution appears fine, and everything works, it's just a minor annoyance I'm having at the moment.
[07:42] <AaronChen> the  rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//'  .*.rmvb became  rename 's/^.\?\]\[]+//'  .*.rmvb I think it not work now
[07:42] <unop> AaronChen, i dunno if you tried the command out -- but see here.  http://pastebin.com/d5f2544d3
[07:43] <Liverbones> The top panel only goes to about 768 pixels and won't stretch across the entire screen, all windows snap to the same 768 point, and occasionally windows won't clear their contents outside of the same point.
[07:43] <Liverbones> It's interesting.
[07:43] <unop> AaronChen, your second rename does not serve your purpose
[07:43] <unop> AaronChen, moreover, it's unlikely to work as you have an empty class  []+
[07:43] <xim> what do I do if my text in the console is in ferangi?
[07:44] <Supaplex> when I'm booting a very boring/ordinary 2year old dell desktop, sometimes it hangs just after hid loads.  Is there anyway to findout what's causing this?
[07:44] <zcat[1]> xim: type 'reset' ?
[07:44] <zcat[1]> xim: did you cat a binary?
[07:44] <xim> haha yep
[07:44] <Supaplex> xim: type reset
[07:45] <xim> ok its doin it thx
[07:45] <xim> kinda funny tho it really does look like ferangi
[07:45] <Liverbones> Hmm. There are a lot of people in here for 2:44 AM where I live.
[07:45] <super6> i'm on ubuntu 8.04 x64 and I allowed the restricted nvidia drivers but I don't have anything coming on my 2nd monitor, any ideas what's wrong?

[07:45] <xim> psh only 1:45 here
[07:45] <Supaplex> Liverbones: it's only 12:44am here

[07:46] <super6> how do i get to nvidia setup?
[07:46] <zcat[1]> install it first..
[07:46] <Liverbones> Note: I'm not used to large rooms of people.
[07:46] <zcat[1]> sudo aptitude install nvidia-setup
[07:47] <zcat[1]> !info nvidia-setup
[07:47] <zcat[1]> Umm.. did I get that name wrong?
[07:47] <agaffney> I'm having the hardest time finding what should be a very simple thing

[07:48] <Rajec> hi is there any difference in quality of Linux version of firefox vs windows version?
[07:48] <unop> Rajec, define 'quality'
[07:48] <zcat[1]> Rajec: same codebase afaik, so should be pretty identical
[07:49] <shiloh7> man i dont miss windaows at all, no more defrag, no more virus's
[07:50] <Rajec> unop: maybe stability, memory management
[07:50] <legend2440> unop: are those rename commands you gave   sed?  or regexp? i would like to learn that
[07:50] <shiloh7> and no more spending $100's and $1000's on software
[07:50] <shiloh7> :P
[07:50] <unop> zcat[1], though, it isn't .. firefox 3 atleast, integrates with the native windowing toolkits .. and as hard as it is for me to say it, gnome does not fare as well as the windows toolkit (whatever it is called)

[07:51] <zcat[1]> hml: and of the axis or linksys IP cameras ahould work just fine..
[07:51] <unop> legend2440, that's perl actually .. rename is a perl script. and those are regular expressions albeit perl style.
[07:51] <hml> zcat[1]: what does IP stand for?

[07:52] <maxtothemax> basically network
[07:52] <hml> is the latency on this going to be okay?
[07:52] <maxtothemax> you got an entire wifi router on that baby?
[07:52] <maxtothemax> or a wireless card
[07:52] <maxtothemax> at least?
[07:52] <hml> no, i'm tracking based on vision
[07:52] <hml> the camera will be connected to my laptop over wire
[07:52] <emma> can anyone tell how you are supposed to download the server edition on this page -- http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[07:52] <maxtothemax> oh I get it
[07:52] <hml> the rc car will be controleld over rc
[07:52] <maxtothemax> thought the cam would be on the car
[07:53] <hml> the rc controller will be hacked to take commands from my liknux box
[07:53] <unop> legend2440, if you have the perl-doc package installed, you can read up on perl regular expressions using these commands.  perldoc perlretut and  perldoc perlre
[07:53] <maxtothemax> paint the car a bright color
[07:53] <hml> http://www.ipcamerasupply.com/product/axis-210-network-ip-camera ; damn some of these are expensive
[07:53] <Flannel> emma: the top radio button
[07:53] <maxtothemax> find some code to track that color
[07:53] <hml> maxtothemax: two brite colors; to track orientation too
[07:53] <unop> legend2440, or visit  http://perldoc.perl.org/perlretut.html and http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html respectively
[07:53] <legend2440> unop: thank you
[07:54] <emma> Flannel: yes, but that radio button has text over the top of it.
[07:54] <Flannel> emma: In which browser?
[07:55] <emma> Firefox
[07:55] <Flannel> emma: which version? (Ubuntu version will suffice)

[08:11] <Flannel> deakillo: switch to tty2 (or is it 1 now?) and checking the messages you get when plugging it in
[08:12] <deakillo> ok

[08:14] <Bodsda> hi,im having problems connecting to my wireless network. The network has a wep key but when i try to connect NM asks for a wpa personal key, if i give it the wep key it doesnt connect. what can i do?
[08:14] <Flannel> Happy: What are the permissions on /var/www/test?
[08:14] <Flannel> Happy: er, /var/www/test/?
[08:15] <Happy> Flannel: i use sudo cp ...; but i have changed it to drwxr-xr-x
[08:15] <mkhlnsh> vegombrei, it may be the SUSE Linux Enterprise. try #suse
[08:15] <thosmos> is it possible to create a folder that contains a filter pattern on another set of folders?  I need to have a list of images in one folder that reside in a nested tree of folders.
[08:15] <Flannel> Happy: can you verify that it's 755?
[08:16] <Happy> Flannel: sorry. i see. it is drwxr--r-- ... change in a sec ..
[08:18] <naerys> has anyone run a chicony 2.0 usb camera on board of a toshiba satellite and gotten it to work?
[08:19] <naerys> or rather, has anyone compiled UVC successfully?
[08:19] <cernex> Anybody knows how to configure NAT on Azureus?
[08:19] <LSD|Ninja> I just let UPnP handle it
[08:19] <cernex> UpnP?
[08:20] <Happy> Flannel: now works. sorry. me problem :)

[08:22] <Guest1> hello
[08:22] <Kate_Mins> Hello, I need help please, i would like to know how i can add new user with sudo privileges from the terminal line ?
[08:22] <Guest1> i just installed ubuntu, but it only recognizes 3gb or ram out of the 4 i actually have. vista recognizes all 4
[08:22] <Kartagis> what to do about this? /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
[08:22] <Kartagis> error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
[08:22] <Kartagis> run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
[08:22] <LSD|Ninja> Guest1: is the vista a 64 bit version?
[08:22] <Guest1> yes, ubuntu is 32
[08:23] <LSD|Ninja> Guest1: perfectly normal then. you need a 64 bit version if you want to see the full 4GB in Ubuntu
[08:23] <Guest1> i thought it might be that, but rethinking i know that xp reads 4gb of ram i think
[08:23] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: Have you already added the user or not?
[08:23] <kallahar> n
[08:23] <hateball> Guest1: You could always recompile the kernel with PAE support as well
[08:23] <LSD|Ninja> Guest1: only if it, toom is x64
[08:23] <Guest1> is there a way to fix it? they told me not to install the 64bit version for various reasons...
[08:23] <Flannel> Guest1: which reasons?
[08:24] <LSD|Ninja> PAE sucks. Either put up with the memory hole or run amd64
[08:24] <Flannel> aye, PAE is one method, but certainly ont idea
[08:24] <Guest1> 32 version being actually faster being that 64bit support is limited if not absent
[08:24] <Flannel> not, ideal even.
[08:24] <Linux50> hello everyone. Im new to ubuntu. Im trying to setup my vncserver on ubuntu 8 and it startups up but when I connect all I get is a command line. I dont get the environment. Is there something I have to do to enable the enviornment?
[08:24] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: no
[08:24] <Linux50> I think I have gnome
[08:25] <wcchandler> When using Kismet I'm not allowed to execute anymore commands system-wide...  I have terminals open before executing then afterwards I cannot even issue reboot shutdown -h now...  nothing works.  Could it be the madwifi-ng?
[08:25] <Guest1> LSD|Ninja: you think the 64bit version qould still be better?
[08:25] <naerys> whats a solid, free, video capture app for Ubuntu?
[08:25] <LSD|Ninja> Guest1: Only if you really need that extra GB or so fo RAM. Chances are you don't, so the 32 bit version will be fine
[08:25] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: Alright.  We'll be using adduser.
[08:26] <Guest1> LSD}Ninj: thats what i though, 3gb are good, also because in the end vista of the 4 i have uses more than 2, ubuntu of the 3 uses less than one...
[08:26] <deakillo> my webcam is working now thanks
[08:26] <Guest1> so in the end it is actually better
[08:26] <deakillo> flannel
[08:26] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: easiest way is just: sudo adduser username, and then sudo adduser username admin
[08:26] <ckyle> I just got ubuntu installed on my old Thinkpad - easier than breathing - I'm impressed.
[08:26] <devin> bah, dr.willis?
[08:26] <Flannel> deakillo: yes?
[08:27] <Flannel> deakillo: Ah, good to hear.
[08:27] <deakillo> Flannel: yeah
[08:27] <wcchandler> When using Kismet I'm not allowed to execute anymore commands system-wide...  I have terminals open before executing then afterwards I cannot even issue reboot shutdown -h now...  nothing works.  Could it be the madwifi-ng?
[08:27] <lardarse> what's the prefered method to generate a non-failsafe xorg.conf ?
[08:27] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: where username (in both of those) is whatever username you want.
[08:27] <Linux50> hello everyone. Im new to ubuntu. Im trying to setup my vncserver on ubuntu 8 and it startups up but when I connect all I get is a command line. I dont get the environment. Is there something I have to do to enable the enviornment?
[08:27] <Guest1> LSD|Ninja: maybe you can help me with something else. my pc is a laptop and noticed that i barely got 1 hour of juice. is there a way to configure the battery usage, so i can tune it as i like?
[08:28] <wcchandler> Linux50 what happens when you try to startx?
[08:28] <evilbug> what's the fastest u.s. software sources server?
[08:28] <Linux50> from tightvnc?
[08:28] <deakillo> Flannel: i have just 1 last issue.. for some reason my desktop stop working.. right click does not work.. and its not showing my original wallpaper but a light blue wallpaper.. any idea? i really dont even know how to start.
[08:28] <LSD|Ninja> evilbug: check your ISP, they may have one
[08:28] <devin> i accidentally deleted my menu.list today, and i got most of the correct entries i need but i can't figure out why its still not letting me boot windows
[08:28] <LSD|Ninja> Guest1: power management isn't my area of expertise I'm afraid
[08:29] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: this command will create also home directory for the user ? (/home/newuser) ?
[08:29] <wcchandler> Linux50 sorry misread your issue...
[08:29] <lardarse> devin, you need to make it chainload it
[08:29] <Linux50> no problem
[08:29] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: yes, adduser does all that stuff (it'll also ask you for the REal name, etc for that user)
[08:30] <Richtopia> can some one help me with my PS3?
[08:30] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: i just rent this new server from hosting company , how i can check my current Ubuntu version from the terminal ?
[08:30] <wcchandler> Linux50 what vnc server are you running?
[08:30] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: lsb_release -a
[08:30] <devin> lardarse i have the line chianloader +1 but still nothing
[08:31] <Richtopia>  i need help with my screen Resolution on my PS3 i have a 73" DLP HD tv HDMI  the screen is zoomed in i cant see the buttons like close or next and back and i have a black border a round the window so its not fitting the screen can anyone help?
[08:31] <Linux50> wcchandler, are you refering to version?
[08:31] <lardarse> devin, you need root to set the partition to use
[08:32] <devin> lardarse lost <
[08:32] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: ok thanks , i think this is Ubuntu server version . does it possible to know if its Desktop or Server version ? if its Server version does it possible to install Desktop Gui ?
[08:32] <vegombrei> hi .. anyone using irssi here ?
[08:32] <lardarse> devin, hmm?
[08:33] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: It is possible.  `uname -a` will tell you whether you're using the server kernel or not (if not, it'll be generic) although that doesn't really matter too much.    But, for the record, you (almost) never need to sudo to copy something to your homedirectory.
[08:34] <Richtopia> ok all you had to do was say no you ass
[08:34] <devin> lardarse /dev/sdb1
[08:34] <Linux50> IF you dont have direct console access how can I tell if it has a gui installed. Im currently logged in via SSH.
[08:34] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: i get this : Linux d4 <IP_ADDRESS>-generic does its Desktop version ?
[08:34] <lardarse> devin, and ubuntu is where?
[08:34] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: technically.  But you probably don't have a GUI installed anyway
[08:34] <devin> lardarse /dev/sda1
[08:35] <ganes> hello , i have HCL pc of using RTL8168B ethernet card ., with this i am not able to browser
[08:35] <lardarse> devin, ok... one moment
[08:35] <devin> ok
[08:35] <Linux50> Flannel, I have 2.6.24-19-server
[08:35] <Guest1> so, can anyone help me customize my power usage for this laptop?
[08:35] <Linux50> how can I check to see If I have a gui installed.
[08:35] <Flannel> Richtopia: This is the PS3 version of Ubuntu, right?
[08:35] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: when i typed sudo adduser username admin i get msg : the group `admin` does not exist ?
[08:35] <Linux50> Im in LA and the server is in Seatle
[08:35] <lardarse> ubuntu dual boot
[08:35] <Richtopia> yes
[08:35] <lardarse> oops
[08:35] <ganes> it is throwing error " no mii interface found : eth0 not supported "
[08:36] <lardarse> wrong keyboard :-(
[08:36] <wcchandler> Linux50 - Check if GDM is running?
[08:36] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: Hmmm, type "groups" what do you get as the output?

[08:36] <Linux50> Im not root
[08:36] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: root
[08:36] <Linux50> ps aux will only give me my userid process's
[08:36] <zaggynl> Linux50: try running ps aux as root with sudo
[08:37] <Linux50> I dont have sudo rights
[08:37] <wcchandler> :p
[08:37] <Linux50> I dont have root pass
[08:37] <lardarse> Linux50, ps -A
[08:37] <Flannel> Linux50: you don't have either?
[08:37] <Linux50> nope

[08:37] <Linux50> but ps -A | grep GDM came back with nothing

[08:38] <Happy> Flannel: currently are root
[08:38] <Flannel> Linux50: that'll check if ubuntu-desktop is installed, although its possible that you still have a GUI without "ubuntu-desktop" itself ebing installed
[08:38] <wcchandler> Linux50 - Is this an active desktop?
[08:38] <Linux50> ii  ubuntu-desktop                        1.102                                    The Ubuntu desktop system
[08:38] <Flannel> Linux50: then yes, you do have it installed

[08:38] <Flannel> Happy: Er.... Why are you chowning all those files?
[08:38] <wcchandler> Happy - Perl :p
[08:39] <Linux50> how can I make vncserver show me the environment. All i get is the command line prompt when I vnc. I know I have to edit xstartup but I dont know what Im supposed to enter
[08:39] <lina> heee....
[08:39] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: root
[08:39] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: Alright, its likely that they have taken out the normal Ubuntu stuff (with the admin group, etc)
[08:39] <Happy> Flannel: they should be user: mysql; because sudo cp, so they are curretnly root
[08:39] <lardarse> devin, do you use anything from within windows to access your linux partitions? (as it may change the answer i need to give if you do)
[08:39] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: pastebin the contents of /etc/sudoers please
[08:39] <lardarse> !pastebin

[08:41] <computer_> what is a good PDF editor for ubuntu?
[08:41] <susa24> hello
[08:41] <wcchandler> computer_ openoffice :p
[08:41] <susa24> hello people i have a Twinhad DTV-T, is it possible to use a different remote for it?
[08:41] <Flannel> Linux50: I've never used VNC, so while I could, I wouldn't be any help.
[08:41] <DIFH-iceroot> computer_: openoffice 3 can edit pdfs
[08:41] <susa24> such as Logitech Harmony 525 Advanced Univeral Remote
[08:41] <computer_> does it come with ubuntu?
[08:42] <wcchandler> yes
[08:42] <murlidhar> checking for GTK... configure: error: GTK+-2.8 is required to compile candido

[08:42] <computer_> hmmm ok
[08:42] <DIFH-iceroot> computer_: you have to install it, ubuntu come with openoffice 2.xx
[08:42] <murlidhar> err which version have?
[08:43] <devin> lardarse yes actually i do, but can't think of the name of the app right off hand
[08:43] <wcchandler> Linux50 where's the copy pasta?
[08:43] <devin> lardarse xp
[08:44] <lardarse> devin, ok,. that makes things simpler
[08:44] <susa24> anyone please
[08:44] <murlidhar> do i have to install libwxgtk2.8-0-dev for that ?
[08:44] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m29be2e77
[08:44] <jake_> I'm connected to the internet fine but for some reason eth0 is not showing up as connected.
[08:44] <computer_> how do i update?
[08:44] <DIFH-iceroot> murlidhar: for what?
[08:44] <jake_> !info eth0
[08:44] <murlidhar> DIFH-iceroot: checking for GTK... configure: error: GTK+-2.8 is required to compile candido
[08:44] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: alright.  You want to get back to a sudo sort of thing, right?
[08:44] <jake_> ahh
[08:44] <jake_> well that's just silly
[08:45] <ex0r> hello, I was wonderinG. Does ubuntu have good wireless network card support yet, and video card support for ati?
[08:45] <jake_> !eth0
[08:45] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: i would like the new user will have sudo access
[08:45] <bubblegumtate> I've just replaced the nonfree-flashplugin with gnash, and I can't play any flash streaming video
[08:45] <cef> jake_: sure you don't have more than one ethernet? or wireless?
[08:45] <bubblegumtate> other flash files seem to work fine
[08:45] <murlidhar> jake_: do you see that in ifconfig
[08:45] <bubblegumtate> any suggestions?
[08:45] <jake_> yeah it's a desktop with no wireless and on board nic
[08:46] <jake_> No ifconfig seems to think it's being used... but gkrellm and network tools say it doesn't exist
[08:46] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: do visudo, and then make this the contents of that file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/42328/
[08:46] <jake_> It's working fine I'm just curious how ubuntu handles this as I've NEVER seen a *nix box without eth0
[08:46] <node357> gu
[08:46] <cef> jake_: do you have anything suspicious is in /etc/network/interfaces ?? you might have it renamed perhaps?
[08:46] <murlidhar> jake_: probably it is on eth1
[08:47] <ex0r> nice, finally my wifi card works for ubuntu :)
[08:47] <smmagic> Hey guys, is deluge in the repos yet?
[08:47] <cef> jake_: I've got a box that acts as a firewall and I've renamed the interfaces to int0 and ext0
[08:47] <jake_> Lets go see
[08:47] <Flannel> !info deluge-torrent | smmagic
[08:47] <smmagic> fair nuff, thanks
[08:48] <Flannel> smmagic: Is that the right deluge?
[08:48] <smmagic> indeed.
[08:48] <murlidhar> !info monsoon | smmagic
[08:48] <murlidhar> hmm
[08:48] <cef> I've only recently found it annoying as iptraf doesn't support randomly named ethernet interfaces
[08:48] <smmagic> transmission just doesnt really cut it Flannel
[08:48] <Flannel> smmagic: I just use bittornado
[08:48] <jake_> cef: Everything looks ok to me. iface eth0 inet static
[08:48] <ex0r> hmm at least I think it does
[08:48] <kindofabuzz> use the new Deluge 1.0 RC's on delugge's site
[08:48] <murlidhar> smmagic: deluge is better one
[08:49] <ex0r> it shows awlh3028, but doesnt show an awlh3026 which is what mine is
[08:49] <smmagic> you should try deluge now, its really good
[08:49] <jake_> has the address and gateway right
[08:49] <murlidhar> yeah
[08:49] <kindofabuzz> i think Deluge is at 1.0 RC7 now
[08:49] <murlidhar> smmagic: deluge-torrent.org
[08:49] <jake_> Also has auto eth0, could that be it?
[08:49] <cef> jake_: what about 'route -n' ??
[08:49] <jake_> auto lo
[08:49] <jake_> iface lo inet loopback
[08:49] <jake_> iface eth0 inet static
[08:49] <jake_> address <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:49] <jake_> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:49] <FloodBot1> jake_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:49] <jake_> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:50] <cef> oops!

[08:51] <lardarse> devin, try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/42330/
[08:51] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: hit 'i' and you'll get to insert mode, and then you can just paste.
[08:51] <ex0r> hey guys, a quick bit of help please
[08:51] <heckler^> tampa.fl.us.undernet.org
[08:52] <smmagic> oh man, ubuntu is so great these days. My printer installs itself :D!
[08:52] <obf213> sometimes my network applet dissapears from panel. kinda annoying is there any other way i can acess the network applet?
[08:52] <ben34> how can i configure samba to use ldap authentication without setting up a samba domain?
[08:52] <vegombrei> how do i get irssi to automatically connect to the freenode server identify my nick and join #ubuntu ?
[08:53] <ex0r> so I have a wireless NIC, Airlink101. The ubuntu faq page shows support for airlink101 cards, awlh3028, and my card is awlh3026 (not listed) is it safe to assume that it uses the same drivers as the awlh3028 ?
[08:53] <cef> smmagic: I can't agree, but that's cos we've got 2 samsung printers here at work and only ONE works with Ubuntu, while the other comes up with an error message in place of the printout. :/
[08:53] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: ok done. :) what is the next step ?
[08:53] <cef> jake_: any luck?
[08:53] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: Alright, once you've saved that (escape, then :wq)
[08:54] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: we need to add an admin group, and then add that user to the admin group.
[08:54] <taishi28012> I'm having a problem getting mpd to work.  I have it and ncmpc install but after I run --create-db and do an update inside ncmpc I don't have any music under the browse category.  I don't get any error or warnings either and there is nothing in the log files.
[08:54] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: ok done.
[08:54] <jake_> Everything in the command line acts the way I'd expect. But in the gui eth0 doesn't exist. Working, just baking my noodle is all.
[08:54] <shappie> Hi all, how do i check which kernel im using atm?
[08:55] <taishi28012> vegombrei: The startup-howto on irssi's webpage gives good instructions on how to edit your .irssi/config file to do what you want.
[08:55] <cef> jake_: sounds like network-manager is just being goofy
[08:55] <jake_> yeah but that wouldn't explain gkrellm
[08:55] <rafiki> shappie: uname -a
[08:55] <ben34> shappie, uname -a
[08:55] <shappie> ok ty :)
[08:55] <vegombrei> taishi28012: i did that bro .. /add server etc .. but it still doesnt connect to it at start up
[08:55] <ex0r> anyone ?
[08:55] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: admin will end up being a system group, so addgroup --system admin
[08:55] <jake_> Oh well I'm not going to worry about it. Just wondered if there was something I didn't know.
[08:56] <cef> jake_: well.. if gkrellm decies it's going to get info from network-manager (eg: via dbus).. that'd explain it
[08:56] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: and then adduser username admin
[08:56] <BunTai> im using ubuntu hardy 8.04...can i install beryl in ubuntu?
[08:56] <cef> jake_: actually, is dbus working properly? (no idea off the top of my head how to check.. but it seems the logical place to check next)
[08:56] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: working :) thanks alot
[08:56] <Flannel> BunTai: beryl is old, we use compiz-fusion now, and you've already got it installed.
[08:57] <jake_> cef: I'll have a look
[08:57] <Flannel> BunTai: for a configuration manager, install compizconfig-settings-manager or simple-ccsm
[08:57] <BunTai> but i dont know how to use is mister Flannel
[08:57] <shappie> Its kind of weird Ati driver says it does not match the good kernel version... But as far as i know i got the most recent updates with kernel 2.6.24-19
[08:57] <taishi28012> vinegaroon: http://dotfiles.org/~x1101/.irssi%2Fconfig is a good example config file.  Just change the password and nick sections.
[08:57] <Kate_Mins> Flannel: i would like also to install FTP on my server . can you recommend me on good ftp software for ubuntu ? that will be easy to configure from the terminal ?
[08:57] <ex0r> hmm
[08:58] <BunTai> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager?
[08:58] <BunTai> like that?
[08:58] <BunTai> flannel?
[08:58] <Flannel> BunTai: yep
[08:58] <BunTai> thnx
[08:58] <Flannel> Kate_Mins: Actually, I'd recommedn using sftp. It's more secure, and also easier to set up.  Assuming you're connected via ssh, it's already set up (unless they've tweaked that as well)
[08:58] <ex0r> im going to assume that it's safe to do so
[08:59] <BunTai> flannel : ive got a newest version now..
[08:59] <BunTai> but i dont know how to use it
[08:59] <BunTai> how to 3D IT
[08:59] <Flannel> BunTai: alright, now go to System > Preferences > compiz config settings manager (or something like that)
[09:00] <BunTai> OK
[09:00] <Flannel> BunTai: and you'll see something that looks somewhat familiar, from what I understand
[09:00] <Kate_Mins> !apache2
[09:00] <Kate_Mins> !apache
[09:00] <deakillo> how good is real player for linux? im lazy to download it lol.. its better than totem?
[09:00] <BunTai> ok
[09:00] <BunTai> thanks
[09:00] <cef> Kate_Mins: if you 'really' need ftp (eg: need to serve files anonymously with FTP) then you probably want to use pure-ftpd or possibly vsftpd. Not sure which is better.
[09:01] <KingOfSofa> I need some help to get my usb wireless card thing to function. The device is a "Jensen Scandinavia 54 mbps" Ubuntu dont recognize it when i installed the OS. Any program or trick i can try to use?
[09:01] <Flannel> cef, Kate_Mins: vsftpd is recommended: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[09:01] <wols_> KingOfSofa: find out what chip it uses first
[09:01] <KingOfSofa> Wols_ how do i do that?
[09:01] <wols_> KingOfSofa: with lsusb and google
[09:02] <BunTai> what profile should i choose?
[09:02] <BunTai> flannel
[09:02] <KingOfSofa> lsubs dont say me anything
[09:02] <Flannel> BunTai: I have no idea, I've never used it.  Someone else here probably knows a lot more about it though.
[09:02] <BunTai> ok
[09:02] <BunTai> one more question
[09:03] <Happy> need help again.
[09:03] <BunTai> im using acer aspire 4520 atheros wireless
[09:03] <BunTai> how to setup it?
[09:03] <wols_> KingOfSofa: if it doesn't then ther eis no wlan stick
[09:03] <BunTai> it make me confuse
[09:03] <wols_> !madwifi | BunTai
[09:03] <BunTai> owh
[09:03] <BunTai> thnx
[09:03] <Happy> anyone please check what's the file permission for: /var/lib/mysql? mine= drwxr-xr-x   5 mysql         mysql
[09:05] <ckyle> drwxr-xr-x  2 mysql root      4096 2008-08-17 11:17 mysql
[09:06] <BunTai> how do i know my wifi functioning?
[09:06]  * ex0r waits patiently in line
[09:06] <BunTai> the icon wireless appears
[09:06] <BunTai> but theres no wireless signal
[09:06] <kibibyte> how to test if env variable is set?
[09:06] <BunTai> but im in wifi port..
[09:07] <BunTai> how do i know my wifi functioning?
[09:08] <jake_> cef
[09:09] <cef> jake_: yes?
[09:10] <jake_> Pasted a link to a post
[09:10] <jake_> hmmm must work on my pasting skills apparently.
[09:11] <cef> jake_: yeah I didn't see it either.. oops!
[09:11] <jake_> Anyway. It you open network-admin as a non sudo user and unlock it things start to work. Don't know if I'll have to do this everytime I boot the box. I suspect I will.
[09:11] <bullgard4> How to test if XGL is running or not?
[09:11] <KingOfSofa> wols_ this is what i get with the lsusb command. http://pastebin.com/m59cf77a2
[09:12] <rcy> hi snafu
[09:12] <snafu> hi
[09:12] <cef> jake_: ugh. yuk. very yuk. oh well, least you know it works at least. Was this the default user on the machine from install, or a new one?
[09:12] <osmosis> here is the config I am using, http://dpaste.com/75192/  the second virtual host is not working. I dont know why.
[09:12] <farid> hi rcy
[09:12] <rcy> hi farid
[09:12] <jake_> Only one user. Set myself up in the install
[09:13] <farid> how are u?rcy
[09:13] <jake_> just did network-admin from the command line and bingo
[09:13] <jake_> Probably something to do with this prehistoric motherboard
[09:13] <rcy> farid: pretty good
[09:13] <KingOfSofa> wols_ this is what i get from the lsusb command. http://pastebin.com/m59cf77a2
[09:13] <cef> jake_: cool.. I ask simply because I thought perhaps the user wasn't added to a necessary group to do this sort of stuff.
[09:14] <devin> lardarse hey thanks for your time and help, its working again
[09:14] <cef> KingOfDos: just run 'lsusb' (without the quotes)
[09:15] <jake_> I'm have absolutely no idea what the deal is but it's not a huge thing. No worries
[09:15] <cef> KingOfSofa: woops.. that was for you
[09:15] <farid> rcy plz pm me
[09:16] <KingOfSofa> cef http://pastebin.com/m2c7cafeb
[09:18] <white_eagle> hello, if anyone remembers my problem from yesterday
[09:18] <cef> wols_: see KingOfSofa 's msg to me above.
[09:18] <white_eagle> it seems that fglrxinfo gives me the output that I use the mesa driver??
[09:18] <white_eagle> I'll go to the wiki of the ati driver
[09:18] <white_eagle> there was a fix there
[09:18] <Gh0s7> hey
[09:19] <Gh0s7> may i ask a question?
[09:19] <Kate_Mins> what is the best software for ubuntu for compressing data ?
[09:19] <farid> hey gh0os7
[09:19] <cef> Gh0s7: ask or do not ask, there is no may. :P
[09:19] <karname> hello , i try to install kde-4 in ubuntu with this code sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop but i get this eror , what should i do?
[09:19] <ckyle> Gh0s7: i don't know, can you?
[09:19] <ckyle> ;-)
[09:19] <Gh0s7> i didnt say can
[09:19] <Gh0s7> i said may i
[09:19] <Gh0s7> so anyways
[09:19] <ckyle> true
[09:20] <ckyle> but who is to say whether you may or not? there're many here.
[09:20] <Gh0s7> when i install ubuntu, i need to dual boot, so i already installed vista, so everytime my computer starts, will the grub interface show up so i can choose which partition i want to boot up?
[09:20] <Flannel> karname: what error?
[09:21] <ckyle> Ghos7: yep...
[09:21] <Gh0s7> aight nice
[09:21] <ckyle> that's what mine did
[09:21] <Gh0s7> thas all
[09:21] <Gh0s7> i have slack
[09:21] <Gh0s7> but it uses LILO
[09:21] <Gh0s7> so i didnt know if they worked the same or w.e
[09:21] <Gh0s7> but thanks
[09:21] <Gh0s7> so pce
[09:21] <Circs> I have an odd thing happening sometimes on widow resizing my windows oscillate wildly between sticking and not sticking.
[09:21] <ckyle> just don't install Vista again... it doesn't play nice... then you have to go learn things about GRUB
[09:23] <ckyle> Gh0s7: so I don't have problems, i have ubuntu on one drive and Vista on a second drive. That way if I need to re-install Vista, or something, I don't hose my Ubuntu...
[09:23] <KingOfSofa> i better get back here later
[09:23] <wols_> karname: you've been told to run it. don't you know how to run a command you are given?
[09:23] <wols_> danmn, kingofsofa is gone
[09:24] <Omar87> I need some help with Phonon, it's refusing to play any audio.
[09:26] <scuser> hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and I was building lustre from sources but the following error occurred http://paste.ubuntu.com/42339/ any help ?
[09:26] <Seveas> scuser, looks like you'er missing kernel headers, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[09:27] <scuser> Seveas: E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.22 ??
[09:28] <nnull> anyone tell me what ubuntu uses to open .chm files? it has a console icon so im liek :O
[09:28] <scuser> Seveas: is the package name is correct ?
[09:28] <Seveas> 2.6.22? You're on gutsy?
[09:28] <nnull> scuser, are you root?
[09:28] <scuser> Seveas: yes
[09:28] <hateball> doesnt build-essential pull down kernel sources as well?
[09:28]  * hateball cant remember
[09:28] <Seveas> linux-headers-$(uname -r)-generic maybe
[09:29] <Seveas> hateball, it does not.
[09:29] <Seveas> linux headers are not essential for most packages
[09:29] <dooglus> I updated my hardy install recently for the first time in a month or two, and now it won't get online.  can someone help please?
[09:30] <Kate_Mins> does sftp has upload limit ?
[09:30] <Seveas> dooglus, slightly more info please. Wired or wireless? link or no link? static or dhcp? dhcp failed? routes missing? gateway pingable?
[09:30] <shukty> hi how can i set to a samba user privileges ex. read but cannot write to a shared folder tnx
[09:30] <dooglus> Seveas: both wired and wireless are broken now, but differently.  wireless fails completely, and wired fails after 100 bytes of transfer or so.  I'll boot into ubuntu to check the exact error.
[09:31] <Seveas> Kate_Mins, the 'sftp' command does not have an option to limit transfer rate
[09:31] <dooglus> Seveas: ah, I remember the problem - no wireless adaptor shows up when I 'iwconfig', whereas it used to
[09:31] <Seveas> dooglus, 'fails completely' would be 'associating with accesspoint fails'? or 'scanning fails'?
[09:32] <Seveas> dooglus, ah, broadcom chipset?
[09:32] <dooglus> Seveas: no, 3945?
[09:32] <dooglus> ipw3945 maybe?
[09:32] <Seveas> dooglus, it looks like the kernel got upgraded without l-r-m. Once wired works again, install the 'linux' package
[09:33] <dooglus> Seveas: rebooting now - soon I'll be able to give you proper details.  getting wired to work isn't necessary - I have flash cards I can transfer .deb files with
[09:33] <dooglus> Seveas: the wire's not convenient to plug in anyway
[09:33] <box_> What is the best way to create static devices using udev? I want to create pty devices without a hack :)
[09:33] <dooglus> Seveas: unless you think it would be easy to fix the wired interface?
[09:34] <Seveas> dooglus, wired is more convenient for doing the quick installs. It'll only be for a few minutes :)
[09:34] <dooglus> Seveas: I'll go get the wire then too
[09:34] <Omar87> I've just updated Amarok 2 today, but it stopped playing audios due to wrong version of codecs, where do I get the correct ones??
[09:34] <Seveas> dooglus, when the wired conenction doesn't work, run these commands and store the output on a flashcard so you can pastebin:
[09:34] <Seveas> sudo mii-diag
[09:34] <Seveas> ifconfig -a
[09:34] <Seveas> route -n
[09:34] <FloodBot1> Seveas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:34] <Seveas> FloodBot1, I love you too :p
[09:34] <shukty> how can i set priveles for a workgroup of samba users ?
[09:36] <Omar87> I've just updated Amarok 2 today, but it stopped playing audios due to wrong version of codecs, where do I get the correct ones??
[09:36] <Seveas> Omar87, if nobody in here answers, try #kubuntu
[09:37] <Omar87> Seveas, but I'm using Gnome.
[09:37] <Seveas> Omar87, amarok is a kde application though, #kubuntu people might know more (I for sure don't know the answer)
[09:38] <dooglus> Seveas: are there any kernel versions to avoid?  I have 2.6.24-19 through 2.6.20-16
[09:38] <Seveas> dooglus, they all worked fine for me with an 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)
[09:38] <dooglus> ok, I'll just use the newest I have then
[09:38] <Seveas> dooglus, but go for the most recent and delete all kernels that are not 2.6.24
[09:39] <dooglus> this computer is going back to the manufacturer as soon as I can get my stuff off it, so it's not important to tidy it up
[09:39] <dooglus> doh - great time to chose for a 'routine check', ubuntu!  :)
[09:40] <Seveas> dooglus, rofl, *always* at the most inconvenient time
[09:40] <Seveas> *always*
[09:40] <Happy> hello: howto uninstall mysql and reinstall mysql in ubuntu ?
[09:40] <dooglus> Seveas: if I 'ESC' out of it now, will it check again next time I boot?
[09:40] <Seveas> dooglus, iirc yes
[09:40] <Seveas> Happy, apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client-5.0
[09:40] <dooglus> Happy: something like "sudo apt-get install -reinstall mysql" perhaps?
[09:40] <Happy> i wrongly deleted mysql.user
[09:40] <dr_willis> Happy,  with the synaptic package manager.. why do you think remove/reinstalling it will help? use the PURGE option if you want to remvoe all configs also
[09:41] <Happy> ok
[09:41] <bullgard4> How to test if XGL is running or not?
[09:41] <Seveas> Happy, ah, in that case it's probably best to purge (apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0) and remove the /var/lib/mysql directory after backing up files that belong to databases you want to keep
[09:42] <Happy> Seveas: actually i only damaged /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.*
[09:42] <Happy> Seveas: i remember there is a way to install mysql default tables ? forgot what it is.
[09:42] <Seveas> Happy, I'm not entirely sure but if you delete the /var/lib/mysql/mysql folder and restart mysql, it might just recreate those.
[09:43] <Seveas> Happy, but please stop mysql now and back up /var/lib/mysql
[09:43] <Happy> Seveas: ok. i try ...
[09:43] <Seveas> to avoid further damage :)
[09:43] <CoolCubix> Does the fact that a DVD is encrypted can explain errors while reading the disk ?
[09:43] <Happy> Seveas: no worries. i just installed. nothing inside it yet
[09:44] <Seveas> Happy, ok, then my previous advise holds. It's easier :)
[09:44] <ganes> hello , i have HCL pc of using RTL8168B ethernet card ., the light is glowing but when i put "mii-tool" --- it displays " no mii interface found : eth0 not supported"
[09:44] <Happy> ok back in a sec .seveas
[09:44] <dooglus> Seveas: I don't believe this - the wired connection is downloading at a steady 300kB/s with no problems...
[09:45] <Seveas> dooglus, well at least that's working now :)
[09:45] <dooglus> Seveas: right.  so now to the wireless...
[09:45] <JeFFrY282> I need a program to send a message to a windows client
[09:45] <Seveas> dooglus, for good measure, apt-get update and apt-get distupgrade before apt-get install linux
[09:45] <dooglus> I'm doing a dist-upgrade - maybe that'll fix it
[09:46] <euthymos> hi what is the VNC server that runs in Ubuntu?
[09:46] <Seveas> euthymos, vino
[09:46] <dooglus> it'll take an hour or two I guess - it's been 2 months since I last used this machine
[09:46] <Seveas> dooglus, heh, have some coffee :)
[09:46] <euthymos> Seveas: client?
[09:47] <euthymos> Seveas: the same? vino? and does it have a Win/Mac version?
[09:47] <noob> I just found something pretty cool, if you have a multi-core/processors...do a make with the -j argument, it speeds up the compile big time.
[09:47] <JeFFrY282> anything here, to give me a program for sending messages via LAN to a windows client?
[09:47] <koshar1> JeFFrY282 pidgeon
[09:47] <Seveas> euthymos, vnc-viewer (old) or vinagre( shiny and new)
[09:47] <dooglus> Seveas: how can I tell which interface the data is going on?
[09:47] <Seveas> euthymos, any vnc client should be able to connect to vino
[09:47] <Seveas> dooglus, iptraf, tcpdump or bwm. bwm is best for this purpose
[09:47] <Seveas> apt-get install bwm :)
[09:47] <dooglus> Seveas: oh, I see the 'RX bytes' in the ifconfig output - it's showing me that the wlan0 interface has RX's 138.2MB
[09:48] <dooglus> hmmm, so it's the wireless that magically fixed itself, not the wired
[09:48] <euthymos> Seveas: I was searching for a free, open source, interoperable VNC clien
[09:48] <dooglus> Seveas: wired is still stuck at "RX bytes 12241"
[09:48] <dr_willis> Hmm.. Most vnc clients ive seen fit that bill.
[09:48] <euthymos> AND SERVER
[09:48] <euthymos> sorry, client and server
[09:48] <Seveas> dooglus, looks like wireless is working then. examine the output of ifconfig and route to confirm
[09:49] <Seveas> dooglus, route -n should say which interfaces are being used
[09:49] <shankhs> hi
[09:49] <euthymos> I tought Ubuntu's one might be also available for other platforms
[09:49] <dr_willis> Theres more vnc client/servers out then just the one built into ubuntus gnome.
[09:49] <dooglus> Seveas: route -n shows 3 lines all with 'wlan0' in the Iface column
[09:49] <Seveas> dooglus, then you're using wifi :)
[09:49] <euthymos> dr_willis: such as?
[09:50] <dr_willis> euthymos,  just looking in the package manager shows vnc4server, tightvnc, and proberly others.. time to hit google and the package manager
[09:50] <dr_willis> !find vncserver
[09:50] <fiber> hello... i want to write a value to /proc (to set the writeback time) and i was wondering how i can make it so the changes are persistant event after a reboot
[09:50] <euthymos> dr_willis: they're not for other platforms :(
[09:50] <Seveas> euthymos, this is Ubuntu support, please don't expect us to know about other platforms :)
[09:51] <dr_willis> euthymos,  err... you can use any vncclient to connect to about any vncserver.. reguarless of the os..
[09:51] <euthymos> ok
[09:51] <euthymos> where should I go
[09:51] <Seveas> euthymos, google :)
[09:51] <dr_willis> I think some of them even have a java based vncclient you can use in a browser
[09:51] <Seveas> dr_willis, yeah, those are evil :)
[09:51] <euthymos> dr_willis: that's not the point. I'm searching for an open source VNC server/client couple that just works everywhere
[09:51] <euthymos> thank you however
[09:51] <dr_willis> check the tightvnc, and vnc4servers  homepages.. they may have windows ports.. Not sure what you really mean by 'other platforms'
[09:51] <cernex> Yo'!
[09:52] <euthymos> windows, mac, linux
[09:52] <cernex> Somebody knows how to configure the NAT thing in Azuerus?
[09:52] <euthymos> these are the platforms
[09:52] <dr_willis> euthymos,  look for one done totally in java then I guess.. or .net
[09:52] <euthymos> thank you however, bye
[09:52] <euthymos> dr_willis thanks
[09:52] <Seveas> dr_willis, is there a mac implementation of .net?
[09:52] <cernex> I have no idea of how to do it, and I can't finish installing Azureus if I don't configure that first
[09:52] <shankhs> Seveas : i dont think so..
[09:53] <dr_willis> Seveas,  not a clue... i have learned to hate .net..  updated this vista box and it tool close to 20 min to just install the latest .net and NOW i have to reboot it. :)
[09:53] <Seveas> ah, vista. Lovely os.
[09:54] <dr_willis> Seveas,  yep.. been 'reinstalling' all day.
[09:54] <CoolCubix> cernex, the only thing you have to do in Azureus is to choose a port. You'll have to open this port on your router then
[09:54] <cernex> CoolCubix, and how do I open the port in the reuter?
[09:54] <salmon_> question: ventrillo in wine, is that possible. i can get it to run but when i try to talk it gives me an error message telling me i have an invalid mux set?\
[09:54] <cernex> CoolCubix, I'm already on my homeportal, BTW
[09:54] <cernex> (It's a 2WIRE modem)
[09:54] <CoolCubix> what is the local ip address of your router ?
[09:55] <shukty> I NEED TO KNOW IF SOME1 can help me to set privileges to a workgroup of samba users
[09:55] <cernex> CoolCubix, don't worry about it, I'm already on the homeportal
[09:55] <dr_willis> shukty,   I dont know the specifics.. but the 'using samba book' in the samba doc package Im sure covers the proper settings in the smb.conf file for that.
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[09:56] <CoolCubix> okay, so you'll have to enter your router's settings and go to the page where you can "open" (or "route") ports
[09:56] <cernex> ok
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> shukty: i can give you mine if you want, its not complicated. If you websearch round you can find some easy howtos
[09:57] <CoolCubix> obviously, it must be the same port than the one you entered in azureus
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> CoolCubix: its sometimes called virtual server
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> CoolCubix: (is on my old dlink pos)
[10:00] <shankhs> this is a novice question: How to share and then do a remote connection to a ubuntu 8.04 desktop using windows xp desktop
[10:00] <Seveas> shankhs, on the ubuntu machine: system -> prefs -> remote desktop
[10:00] <Seveas> shankhs, and on the windows machine you install a vnc client
[10:00] <henux> A question: Can have my user account to run 'shutdown' or 'poweroff' without having to use sudo, and is this a bad idea to do ?
[10:00] <henux> *Can I...
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | shankhs
[10:01] <dr_willis> henux,  yes thats doable...
[10:01] <shankhs> seveas : thanx
[10:01] <henux> *How can I
[10:01] <Seveas> henux, you can't. You can set up sudo not to ask for a password to do it.
[10:01] <CoolCubix> Does someone know what I should do to enable encrypted DVD reading, apart from installing libdvdcss ?
[10:01] <dr_willis> henux,  proper way would be to set up sudoers where the users can do it without a password.. but ya still gotta use sudo
