[03:15] <kindofabuzz> yacc, yeah i think that's all i need, i don't really need a gui at all on server, just trying to learn VNC or whatever
[03:15] <penba> atcla_ubuntu: what? sorry, didnt catch your message
[03:16] <atcla_ubuntu> penba,  i erased conkryc whats next
[03:16] <atcla_ubuntu> ;D
[03:16] <xanderp> when I log in, and do a 'mount' command it shows '/dev/hdc1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)'
[03:16] <penba> Nis2k: maybe the installation of pidgin fucked up with the permissions of /usr
[03:16] <penba> Nis2k: but I cant be sure
[03:16] <icanhasadmin> penba: language?
[03:16] <Nis2k> penba, i hope so
[03:16] <penba> icanhasadmin: sorry
[03:16] <unop_> kindofabuzz, you don't even need VNC, you can forward X through SSH to have the remote apps display locally
[03:16] <penba> messep up*
[03:16] <kindofabuzz> unop_: ok, using?
[03:16] <Nis2k> penba, i have to restart every time i have to try a new thing
[03:16] <Nis2k> penba, i hate that
[03:17] <Nis2k> brb
[03:17] <penba> Nis2k: i know man, im sorry
[03:17] <atcla_ubuntu> $uptime
[03:17] <atcla_ubuntu> 19:10:57 up 46 days, 22:02,  2 users,  load average: 0.67, 0.53, 0.47
[03:17] <penba> Nis2k: you could try using irssi form the console
[03:17] <penba> Nis2k: that way you dont have to restart
[03:17] <unop_> kindofabuzz, like this -- ssh -X otherhost 'firefox'
[03:17] <Nis2k> penba, how do i change permission chmod -r 755 or what
[03:17] <Nis2k> penba, try to use what?
[03:17] <tim__> atcla_ubuntu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbox
[03:17] <penba> Nis2k: yeah, should be chmod -R 755 /usr
[03:17] <niuq> hi, my menu bar keep disappearing, someone could help me with that
[03:17] <penba> Nis2k: irssi, it is a console-based IRC client
[03:18] <atcla_ubuntu> tim_,  i already did but thanx man :DD
[03:18] <Flannel> !danger | Nis2k, penba
[03:18] <ubotu> Nis2k, penba: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you!
[03:18] <kindofabuzz> unop: oh ok, well i wanted to actually have the system show up on my screen, wanna mess around with it
[03:18] <niuq> well actually is the title bar
[03:18] <kindofabuzz> like vmware or qemu?
[03:18] <atcla_ubuntu> penba, so how do i create new .conkryc ?
[03:18] <penba> atcla_ubuntu: nano .conkyrc
[03:18] <atcla_ubuntu> im still waiting for next step :D
[03:18] <tusk1113> yacc  ok found the issue, just a quick question, now that my fstab is correct, it will automount?
[03:18] <unop_> kindofabuzz, if you run that command, firefox shows up locally, not on the server
[03:19] <atcla_ubuntu> penba,  now just paste that script ?
[03:19] <Nis2k> penba, so i guess i need to reboot huh?
[03:19] <atcla_ubuntu> and save with :wq ???
[03:19] <kindofabuzz> unop, i wanna have my server gui in a screen on the local desktop, i guess i wasn't clear
[03:19] <penba> Nis2k: yeah, for that you need to reinstall
[03:19] <laoxdat> hi
[03:19] <penba> atcla_ubuntu: yes
[03:19] <Zoris> does anyone know where I can download the drivers for the Canon iP1600 printer?
[03:19] <Nis2k> penba, for what?
[03:20] <Nis2k> penba, i need to format my hd?
[03:20] <ce_chinnese> hey aLL
[03:20] <mikev> **question*** if I already installed an ubuntu LAMP server but I forget to select the Mail server, what would be the apt-get instruction to install it from the CD?
[03:20] <Nis2k> zoris, use your camera as a massive storage device, that way you dont need any drivers
[03:20] <tim__> Zoris,  is not it suported by Cups ?
[03:20] <Nis2k> ohhh no!! no more penba
[03:20] <Zoris> what is Cups, and how would I use my camera?
[03:20] <Flannel> mikev: tasksel .... uh, shoot.  I dont know.  taskel something
[03:20] <Piffer> ah smbmount \\\\<server>\\<share> /mnt/stuff -o username=<windows user>  worked fine.
[03:21] <agustin> Aguien que hables epaรฑol?
[03:21] <Nis2k> try to mount your camera this way
[03:21] <agustin> ?
[03:21] <Flannel> !es | agustin
[03:21] <ubotu> agustin: Aquรญ solamente hablamos inglรฉs. Para Espaรฑol, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allรญ obtendrรก mรกs ayuda.
[03:21] <unop_> kindofabuzz, well, firefox (a gui) appears on the localdesktop -- but i think you want to use XDMCP to connect to the remote desktop
[03:21] <Nis2k> agustin yo
[03:21] <agustin> jojojo
[03:21] <xanderp> could '/dev/hdc1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)' indicate i need to fsck.ext3 the file system?  would that lock it RO?
[03:21] <Flannel> mikev: You can also just set it up package specific: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html
[03:21] <bbrown> is there a flag to show status with 'dd'
[03:21] <unop_> Piffer, my eyes hurt -- you can do // instead of \\\\
[03:21] <mikev> thnx flannel, lemme check that
[03:21] <agustin> quit
[03:21] <Nis2k> zoris try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1/ /media/usb0/
[03:22] <Zoris> my camera won't work though
[03:22] <kindofabuzz> unop_ yeah i want a remote desktop, how can i enable xdmcp on the server without physically in front of it?
[03:22] <Flannel> xanderp: It mounts it read-only if there are errors
[03:22] <Nis2k> zoris, you tried what i said?
[03:22] <kindofabuzz> or wait, don't i just do that from this local login?
[03:22] <Zoris> mount: mount point /media/usb0/ does not exist
[03:22] <Nis2k> zoris, mhh wait a sec
[03:23] <xanderp> Flannel: so fsck.ext3 is a good idea then?
[03:23] <Nis2k> zoris are you using ubuntu 7.10?
[03:23] <unop_> kindofabuzz, i think you'll need to configure the remote GDM to accept remote connections -- you have to do that first -- ssh -X otherhost 'gdmsetup'
[03:23] <Zoris> no, I'm using Hardy Beta, but the printer didn't work in 7.10 either so I thought no need to go to beta channel
[03:23] <atcla_ubuntu> tim_,  hi
[03:23] <Flannel> xanderp: sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot, assuming you can touch /forcefsck
[03:24] <Flannel> Zoris: Hardy support is in #ubuntu+1, thanks
[03:24] <unop_> kindofabuzz, then, on the localhost, run gdmflexiserver (logon screen) and connect to the remote host
[03:24] <atcla_ubuntu> tim_,  i created .conkryc - CONKY , now i need to move to home i guess
[03:24] <atcla_ubuntu> how do i do that
[03:24] <Nis2k> zoris sorry man i work on ubuntu 7.10
[03:24] <Nis2k> BRB
[03:24] <Zoris> okay then
[03:24] <xanderp> Flannel: if not, I can touch it in livecd... will try that. thanks
[03:24] <Flannel> xanderp: You can fsck it with a liveCD
[03:24] <Piffer> whoever suggested amarok for me as a media player yesterday, thanks! it's awesome, and now that my smb share is mounted locally i can play all my mp3 files too.
[03:25] <kindofabuzz> unop_: how do i run local and server?  is that where qwmu comes in?
[03:25] <kindofabuzz> qemu
[03:25] <atcla_ubuntu> why everybody is leaving ???:(
[03:25] <Madd_Matt> People come and go all day....
[03:25] <unop_> kindofabuzz, i dunno where qemu comes in from? why qemu?
[03:25] <Exfil> i am having a problem with my titlebars not showing up
[03:25] <xanderp> it's the rapture...
[03:25] <kindofabuzz> that's why i like chatzilla's conferance mode, i don't see all the enters and leaves
[03:25] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: metacity --replace
[03:26] <xanderp> hmmm why am I still here... :(
[03:26] <Exfil> what will that do?
[03:26] <kindofabuzz> unop_ i dunno, that's what someone suggested instead of vmware
[03:26] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: make them appear
[03:26] <Exfil> how
[03:26] <QDogg> Good evening I was wondering if anyone can help a sort of newb
[03:26] <Exfil> im not a newbie, i want to know what its doing
[03:26] <unop_> kindofabuzz, no, you dont need qemu,
[03:26] <seamus7> QDogg: what's your question?
[03:26] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: replacing your current (crashed prolly) window manager with the default gnome one
[03:27] <QDogg> I think alacarte crashed on me and I have no programs under my "applications" tab
[03:27] <kindofabuzz> hey unop_ you mentioned gdmsetup, i have fluxbox on the server
[03:27] <mattgyver83> I keep receiving the error "dependency is not satisfiable: libc6" however i have the most recent version of libc6 installed, does anyone know why i might be getting this error?
[03:27] <atcla_ubuntu> icanhasadmin,  im trying to config "conky", i removed .conkryc, now i did: nano .conkryc , pasted script in it and saved. do i need to move .conkryc somewhere to a right dir cuz my "conky" is still default
[03:28] <unop_> kindofabuzz, what display manager does the server run?
[03:28] <kindofabuzz> fluxbox
[03:28] <unop_> kindofabuzz, no, thats a window manager
[03:28] <prettyricky> has anyone installed avant window navigator and how did you install it?
[03:28] <seamus7> QDogg: have you tried restarting Alacarte?
[03:28] <kindofabuzz> unop_ok what's a display manager then?
[03:28] <andash> the login manager
[03:28] <unop_> kindofabuzz, the display manager is usually the GUI logon screen, like the GDM on a desktop
[03:29] <xanderp> xanderp=not so bright... i touched /forcefsck from the livecd, not /mnt/forcefsck... guh... now I have to do it again! :)
[03:29] <QDogg> seamus7 I reinstalled it
[03:29] <kindofabuzz> unop_ oh i dunno, i've never seen the wm or dm on it, i just did a apt-get install fluxbox
[03:30] <kindofabuzz> it was headless
[03:30] <Sp3nc3> Have a question regarding Serial Ports and USB-to-Serial cable.
[03:30] <atcla_ubuntu>  im trying to config "conky", i removed .conkryc, now i did: nano .conkryc , pasted script in it and saved. do i need to move .conkryc somewhere to a right dir cuz my "conky" is still default ?! :(
[03:30] <icanhasadmin> atcla_ubuntu: what in the world are you talking about?
[03:30] <atcla_ubuntu> about CONKY config
[03:30] <icanhasadmin> Sp3nc3: they generally don't work. that's all i know about them :P
[03:30] <xanderp> the wierd thing is that the / file system mounts perfectly in the livecd, not RO.
[03:30] <seamus7> prettyricky: enable backports in gutsy (I assume you're on gutsy) and then do this in a terminal:  sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator awn-manager
[03:30] <Joeb454> atcla_ubuntu, .conkyrc should be in ~/.conkyrc
[03:30] <ptr771> atclua_ubuntu: have you killed and restarted conky?
[03:31] <atcla_ubuntu> Joeb454,  how do i check ?
[03:31] <atcla_ubuntu> ptr771,  how do i do that
[03:31] <prettyricky> how do I enable backports?
[03:31] <atcla_ubuntu> i think i did
[03:31] <Joeb454> cat ~/.conkyrc from a terminal
[03:31] <Exfil> metacity --replace
[03:31] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: do you know what caused your window manager to shutdown/crash in the first place?
[03:31] <unop_> kindofabuzz, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/
[03:31] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: and you're suppose to type that in terminal.. not irc...
[03:31] <atcla_ubuntu> Joeb454,  cat: /home/atc/.: Is a directory
[03:31] <atcla_ubuntu> cat: conkryc: No such file or directory
[03:32] <atcla_ubuntu> Joeb454,  sorry
[03:32] <seamus7> prettyricky: It's under System/ Administration/ Software Sources ... make sure it's checked
[03:32] <Sp3nc3> icanhasadmin: I got the cable connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 right off the bat.. But I was having trouble configuring the baud rates and stuff.
[03:32] <atcla_ubuntu> space between . conk
[03:32] <atcla_ubuntu> ok
[03:32] <atcla_ubuntu> i fixed
[03:32] <lappy> im having probs with xubuntu not booting into x after "boot"...it seems to run on screen 7 but then closes imediately after it tries to run...i can manually run  startxfce but i cannot type gdm..it says that its already running...
[03:32] <ptr771> atcla_ubuntu: ps -ef | grep conky --> find its pid and then kill <conky-pid>
[03:32] <icanhasadmin> Sp3nc3: oh then you're 85% of the way there :)
[03:32] <kindofabuzz> unop_: so does fluxbox even have a dm?
[03:32] <atcla_ubuntu> Joeb454,  ok it showed me my script
[03:32] <atcla_ubuntu> whats next ?
[03:32] <Sp3nc3> icanhasadmin: now i need help on that other 15%
[03:32] <unop_> ptr771, killall conky  or  kill $(pidof conky)
[03:32] <Joeb454> where did you save your .conkyrc
[03:32] <Lunks> Where can I find what is Ubuntu doing when I plug my AC adapter?
[03:33] <atcla_ubuntu> Joeb454,  i dunno
[03:33] <Sp3nc3> anyone know exactly how to configure the baud rates and stuff for a serial port?
[03:33] <Exfil> icanhasadmin
[03:33] <atcla_ubuntu> ;)
[03:33] <Joeb454> atcla_ubuntu, I dunno, you wanted to see your script
[03:33] <xanderp> Lunks cat /var/log/messages, and also dmesg
[03:33] <unop_> kindofabuzz, it can, usually people who use fluxbox dont use a DM, so it depends
[03:33] <atcla_ubuntu> Joeb454,  i did nano .conkryc
[03:33] <tritium> Sp3nc3: with setserial
[03:33] <atcla_ubuntu> ok lets try restart
[03:33] <seamus7> QDogg: did you try deleting (or renaming) Alacarte's configuration file before reinstalling it? Sometimes that will fix whatever misconfiguration that might have crept in
[03:33] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: yes?
[03:34] <Exfil> icanhasadmin: Im getting an error when i try metacity --replace,  the error says unable to open X display
[03:34] <prettyricky> there is no such thing as backports in there>,....
[03:34] <kindofabuzz> unop_: i think i will throw ubuntu-desktip on it just to make this easier
[03:34] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: oh that's bad.
[03:34] <Exfil> what needs to be fixed
[03:34] <atcla_ubuntu> ptr771,  how do i find its pid ?
[03:34] <unop_> kindofabuzz, errm, overkill, it's not necessary
[03:34] <Exfil> i uninstalled compiz
[03:34] <Exfil> anything to do with that
[03:34] <unop_> kindofabuzz, just read the howto, it's got everything you need to know
[03:34] <dissle> ok
[03:34] <kindofabuzz> kk
[03:34] <ptr771> atcla_ubuntu: see what unop_ said to me, killall conky
[03:34] <unop_> kindofabuzz, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/
[03:35] <kindofabuzz> unop_: got it
[03:35] <seamus7> prettyricky: it's listed under the Updates Tab as 'Unsupported Updates (gutsy-backports)'
[03:35] <abcnight> ๏ผ/mode abcnightย  + i
[03:35] <icanhasadmin> Exfil: yes that's absolutely the problem. join #compiz-fusion and we'll work on it with people who know what they are doing :P
[03:35] <atcla_ubuntu> atc@atc-ubundu:~$ killall conky
[03:35] <xanderp> forcefsck didn't work... what about doing fsck.ext3 /dev/hdc1 from the livecd?
[03:35] <atcla_ubuntu> conky: no process killed
[03:35] <prettyricky> ok it was checked
[03:36] <seamus7> prettyricky: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator awn-manager
[03:36] <atcla_ubuntu> im giving up
[03:36] <ptr771> atcla_ubuntu: can you start conky ?
[03:36] <atcla_ubuntu> yea
[03:37] <seamus7> prettyricky: AWN themes here: http://www.queervisions.com/arch/2007/10/awn_avantwindow.html
[03:37] <xanderp> I would be so screwed if I only had one pc.  how the heck do people troubleshoot machines that can't boot if they can't get online to ask questions/research/google?  sad sad sad...
[03:37] <prettyricky> it says broken packages when I sudo
[03:37] <atcla_ubuntu> ptr771,  but script doesnt load
[03:38] <CodyT07> Test - anyone able to see my message?
[03:38] <atcla_ubuntu> ptr771,  nvm, enough for today
[03:38] <atcla_ubuntu> i dont wanna get pissed
[03:38] <atcla_ubuntu> CodyT07,  yes
[03:38] <ptr771> atcla_ubuntu: maybe some issues with your script?
[03:38] <atcla_ubuntu> ptr771,  i dont think so
[03:39] <CodyT07> Thank you, atcla
[03:39] <atcla_ubuntu> with me applying script yea
[03:39] <xanderp> fsck.ext3 shows my / as 'clean' but it's booting RO.  What's next?
[03:39] <seamus7> prettyricky: oh sorry .. I use the development version which isn't broken ... let me get you the info
[03:39] <prettyricky> thanks!
[03:39] <atcla_ubuntu> ptr771,  ty for your help
[03:39] <atcla_ubuntu> enough for today
[03:39] <kindofabuzz> unop_: : see the thing is, it says to setup X, but i don't even have a monitor on the server
[03:39] <ptr771> atcla_ubuntu: np
[03:41] <unop_> kindofabuzz, you've installed fluxbox, so you have X
[03:42] <jimiridge> holy join/part batman!
[03:42] <kindofabuzz> actually i don't even know if i got fluxbox setup right since i can't see it
[03:42] <Nis2k> Question: When  i start up my computer instead of getting my normal log in screen i get a black screen with my mouse pointer on waiting mode, any one knows how to fix this?
[03:42] <c-ron> unop_and kindofabuzz , fluxbox runs on top of x
[03:42] <jimiridge> is start_fluxbox in your path?
[03:42] <c-ron> ?
[03:42] <kindofabuzz> i just did a apt-get install fluxbox on the server
[03:43] <kindofabuzz> yeah i know
[03:43] <xanderp> root partition in fstab had option of default instead of defaults, rebooting to see if that fixed anything
[03:43] <kindofabuzz> i'm just ying to fiure out how to set up x through ssh
[03:43] <Devourer> How can I make Vim my default text editor?
[03:43] <unop_> kindofabuzz, well, thats what you are doing now, testing fluxbox out, but you need to have this setup before you can do that
[03:43] <Nis2k> Question: When  i start up my computer instead of getting my normal log in screen i get a black screen with my mouse pointer on waiting mode, any one knows how to fix this?
[03:43]  * Sp3nc3 depress about not knowing what to do with the USB-to-Serial cable
[03:43] <jimiridge> oh doublecheck /etc/ssh/sshd_cononfig
[03:44] <unop_> Devourer, export EDITOR=$(which vim)
[03:44] <Nis2k> can anyone help me?
[03:44] <tritium> Devourer: if you mean globally, with the update-alternatives command
[03:44] <nks_> Hello All, The Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5418 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI on a MacBook 2.16ghz. running Ubuntu 7.10, Are there any tutorials on getting it(The wireless network card) to work ? I'll really appreciate the info..
[03:45] <icanhasadmin> nks_: i believe that card is supported by the madwifi drivers
[03:45] <Devourer> unop_, can I be the terminal based vim that I use?
[03:45] <xanderp> huzzah!  it was the default instead of defaults in fstab that had me read only!  i'm back in business!
[03:45] <xanderp> thanks everyone
[03:45] <seamus7> prettyricky: I suggest following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981
[03:45] <bullgard4> xdg - Wikipedia: "The X Desktop Group, the former name of freedesktop.org" It has left a lot of traces in Gnome.  --  What has the 'X Desktop Group' been concerned with mainly?
[03:46] <genii> xanderp: You can change mount option on fly like:       sudo mount -o option-to-change-here,remount /mountpoint        eg: sudo mount -o rw,remount /
[03:46] <prettyricky> ok thanks for all your help will try it!
[03:46] <tritium> Devourer: you want to set it globally, or just for your user?
[03:46] <Devourer> tritium, just for my user I guess.
[03:46] <xanderp> now back to my original issue of getting my nvidia to dual-display...
[03:46] <Devourer> tritium, it said this, Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal. :(
[03:47] <NIKA_> co_scorpion
[03:47] <Devourer> tritium, how do I fix that?
[03:47] <tritium> Devourer: OK.  Then use unop_'s method, but you'll want to include that in your .bashrc
[03:47] <NIKA_> \ server irc.dal.net
[03:47] <xanderp> genii: nice one to know... making note of that.
[03:47] <Devourer> tritium, oh. What do I put in .bashrc?
[03:47] <tritium> Devourer: the export command unop_ gave you
[03:47] <Sp3nc3> anyone have a a$$ kicking vimrc that can share?
[03:48] <nks_> icanhasadmin-I'd tried madwifi with ndiswrapper and was unsuccessful ! Would you happen to have an instructional address?
[03:48] <icanhasadmin> nks_: you mean a way to download it?
[03:48] <Devourer> tritium, where is .bashrc?
[03:48] <nks_> yes
[03:48] <unop_> Sp3nc3, http://tinyurl.com/35oufz
[03:49] <unop_> Devourer, ~/.bashrc
[03:49] <tritium> Devourer: in your home directory
[03:49] <CodyT07> When a new ubuntu version gets released, does it take the same amount of time to download and install as it did downloading the first time?
[03:49] <Svenstaro> CodyT07, yes
[03:49] <unop_> CodyT07, probably not
[03:49] <Devourer> unop_, so I just put the line export EDITOR=$(vim) somewhere in .bashrc? Like, maybe the bottom?
[03:50] <Svenstaro> CodyT07, it of course depends on how fast your connection is
[03:50] <icanhasadmin> nks_: 1 second, i'm actually using them
[03:50] <unop_> Devourer, hey, get the command right
[03:50] <CodyT07> 1.2 Mbs takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to download ubuntu completely
[03:50] <unop_> Devourer, export EDITOR=$(which vim)
[03:50] <tritium> Devourer: anywhere is fine.  Then be sure to "source ~/.bashrc"
[03:50] <nks_> ok, thank you..I'll wait..
[03:50] <Svenstaro> CodyT07 sounds about right, aint so much is it?
[03:50] <Devourer> unop_, oh, it needs the which? What does which do?
[03:50] <Devourer> tritium, what does source do?
[03:51] <tritium> Devourer: $(which vim) expands to /usr/bin/vim, so you can use that instead
[03:51] <unop_> which vim finds the path to vim
[03:51] <CodyT07> Svenstaro you kind of lost me
[03:51] <Devourer> Ohhhh, yeah. :)
[03:51] <prettyricky> seamus7------->thats weird no go., I still get broken packages
[03:51] <icanhasadmin> nks_: ok my firefox decided to crash, 1 more sec :P
[03:51] <nks_> ok
[03:51] <tritium> Devourer: essentially "reloads" your .bashrc for your current bash session
[03:51] <Svenstaro> CodyT07, the mirror servers will be pretty busy on release day, you will want to use a torrent to get hardy as fast as possible
[03:52] <Devourer> tritium, I see.
[03:52] <CodyT07> I mean will it take an hour and 30 minutes to download even if the servers are getting hit hard, or will it just download the changed files only?
[03:52] <tritium> Devourer: if it were me, I'd use update-alternatives instead
[03:52] <CodyT07> if the servers arent*
[03:52] <kindofabuzz> ok trying vncserver, i connect so the server with xvncviewer but all i get is a flashing cursor with some info on top
[03:53] <Devourer> tritium, what does that do?
[03:53] <seamus7> prettyricky: hmmm .. make sure any previous attempts at installing awn are uninstalled first .. you must be using a composite window manager like Compiz Fusions ... read further into the forum and see if others are having the same problem ... ???
[03:53] <unop_> tritium, but other users on his system might be emacs-lovers :)
[03:53] <tritium> unop_: I'd be willing to bet he's the only user on his system
[03:53] <Devourer> tritium, it's true.
[03:53] <tritium> Devourer: changes the default for several targets listed in /etc/alternatives/
[03:54] <Svenstaro> CodyT07 you will have to download the same amount of data as you did when downloading any other ubuntu release
[03:54] <unop_> tritium, thats not the point tho, why change something globablly when it can easily and _safely_ be done within the user's environment
[03:54] <Devourer> tritium, how do I do it?
[03:54] <prettyricky> I didnt uninstall cause I had already tried installing.... Is there a way to remove everything I just did? There is nothing there stating how to uninstall first
[03:54] <tritium> unop_: it's up to his preference.  I'm pointing out both options
[03:54] <nith> the eternal question -- weither to dist-upgrade or fresh install
[03:55] <CodyT07> I C, thank you svens
[03:55] <tritium> unop_: and both options are safe
[03:55] <phuzion> I want to link a directory from /spare into my home directory, whats the best way to do so?
[03:55] <|lilox|> hi, I have problems when I try to install shake software I read https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7185 and I have followed the steps, and i have a message of error
[03:55] <Svenstaro> CodyT07 I really do recommend using a torrent on release day, it will be fast :)
[03:55] <yemeni-> can someone help me get dvd playback on ubuntu gutsy, any help is appreciated, thanks
[03:55] <CodyT07> I can't wait until my ubuntu cd arrives
[03:55] <xenis69> hey all
[03:55] <nith> hey xenis69
[03:55] <xenis69> can some one help me with a dhcp server question
[03:56] <Svenstaro> CodyT07 are you traffic limited?
[03:56] <CodyT07> my internet is set for unlimited
[03:56] <Svenstaro> xenis69, sure what is it?
[03:56] <|lilox|> when I put csh shake in the command line >>>>>>>>  lilox@ANI:~/shake/bin$ csh shake
[03:56] <|lilox|> /home/lilox/shake/bin/shkx.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:56] <unop_> tritium, update-alternatives requires sudo, and anything that requires sudo requires you excercise caution, so how can that be safe? i mean, he could mess up on the command and have something else going
[03:56] <xenis69> No subnet declaration for eth0 (<IP_ADDRESS>).
[03:56] <xenis69> but i want the dhcp to run on eth1
[03:56] <prettyricky> found something to remove it thanks
[03:56] <Svenstaro> xenis69, <IP_ADDRESS> will work for you as a subnet
[03:56] <phuzion> anyone
[03:56] <tritium> unop_: using sudo is not inherently unsafe.
[03:57] <Svenstaro> phuzion, whats your issue?
[03:57] <unop_> tritium, right exactly but that doesn't make it safe tho
[03:57] <phuzion> my bad.  whats the best way to link a directory into another directory so that FTP can read it and copy files?
[03:57] <unop_> tritium, or rather, it doesnt make what you use with sudo safe
[03:57] <icanhasadmin> nks_: I'm really sorry, this is the best i can find: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
[03:57] <xenis69> i have the dhcpd.conf file setup and it works if i use eth0 ips
[03:57] <tritium> unop_: setting the default editor with update-alternatives is not unsafe
[03:57] <MasterShrek> phuzion, use a symlink
[03:58] <Devourer> tritium, I'd like it to be where I double click on something and it opens up the files in Vim. :D
[03:58] <Svenstaro> phuzion, for ftp you should probably use mount --bind
[03:58] <xenis69> but then when i change them to the eth1 ips it stops working
[03:58] <nks_> no problem and thank you for the link...
[03:58] <Svenstaro> xenis69, you need to tell it to listen on eth1 too :)
[03:58] <icanhasadmin> nks_: let me know if you run into any hassles
[03:58] <|lilox|> somebody help me
[03:58] <xenis69> okie so how do i tell it to use eth1?
[03:58] <tritium> Devourer: if you wish, "sudo update-alternatives --config editor"
[03:59] <gralco> when i try to go under administrator mode in KDE Control Module it tells me "Changes in this section requires root access. Click the "Administrator Mode" button to allow Modifications"
[03:59] <gralco> and i cant click it
[03:59] <nks_> ok thank you
[03:59] <tritium> Devourer: or, just use unop_'s approach.  Your call.
[03:59] <nith> |lilox|: just ask, if anyone knows the answer, they will
[03:59] <MasterShrek> gralco, log in to X as root and do wahtever you need to do
[04:00] <|lilox|> yeap, already ask
[04:00] <tritium> Devourer: as far as double-clicking is concerned, that's a gnome setting, which either approach doesn't address.
[04:00] <Svenstaro> xenis69 put this into your dhcpd.conf "INTERFACES="eth1"" without the wrapper quotes
[04:00] <gralco> MasterShrek, in the log in screen?
[04:00] <Svenstaro> |lilox| reask, this is a busy channel
[04:00] <MasterShrek> gralco, sure
[04:00] <unop_> Devourer, see the first comment to this blog - http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-change-the-default-text-editor-on-ubuntu-with-nautilus
[04:00] <Devourer> tritium, awwww.... how do I change that?
[04:00] <xenis69> omg that easy ?
[04:00] <brandonc503> heya anyone wana let me use their ip for a bit.. i made to many trial accounts on wow now im getting error.. i googled it and looks like they dont want you to make more than like 10 accounts... i figure they are tracking it by ip...
[04:00] <xenis69> *slaps himslef
[04:00] <Svenstaro> xenis69, should do the job
[04:00] <Devourer> unop_, oh. Thanks.
[04:00] <|lilox|> :D
[04:00] <Svenstaro> xenis69, of course restart it afterwards
[04:00] <unop_> Devourer, not the blog itself but the first comment
[04:01] <xenis69> INTERFACES=
[04:01] <tritium> thanks for handling that, unop_
[04:01] <Devourer> unop_, yeah, I see. Lol.
[04:02] <xenis69> the syslog dosent like that command in the dhcpd.conf file
[04:02] <tim__> !mint
[04:02] <ubotu> The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate
[04:02] <unop_> tritium, what's that?
[04:03] <kindofabuzz> to save myself these headaches i'm gonna go hook up a monitor to my server lol
[04:03] <tritium> unop_: I was thanking you for answering the question Devourer asked me.
[04:04] <agent> why would a newly inserted pci card not show up in lspci?
[04:04] <nith> |lilox|: do you have any libstdc++5 installed?
[04:04] <unop_> tritium, i was just making a contribution - but you're welcome :)
[04:04] <nith> agent: plug and play in bios off?
[04:04] <|lilox|> ok  well,  i want to install shake is a software or motion graphics from apple store, well the problem is in the instalation folder there are a 7 folders, in bin folder is the script then when I try to execute in consola csh shake print this >> lilox@ANI:~/shake/bin$ sudo ./shake
[04:04] <|lilox|> /home/lilox/shake/bin/shkx.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:04] <Devourer> unop_, I think when I use Vim, it doesn't output to the terminal...
[04:04] <tritium> unop_: :)
[04:04] <nith> |lilox|: are you installing from souce?
[04:05] <agent> actually... it was set to off
[04:05] <agent> trying
[04:05] <|lilox|> souce?
[04:05] <|lilox|> what is souce
[04:05] <unop_> Devourer, i dont think i follow you here, can you explain?
[04:06] <Devourer> unop_, well, when I double click on a text file or whatnot, nothing happens.
[04:06] <nith> |lilox|: try typing sudo aptitude install libstdc++5-3.3-dev into a terminal
[04:06] <nith> |lilox|: then try that script again
[04:07] <Svenstaro> xenis69 you might wanna try out "gdhcpd" its a neat little dhcpd configurator
[04:07] <agent> still not registering
[04:07] <xenis69> ok ill give it ago
[04:07] <unop_> Devourer, did you follow the instructions exactly?  what's the string you used? "text/plain=gvim.desktop" or "text/plain=vim.desktop"?
[04:07] <|lilox|> ok
[04:07] <Devourer> unop_, text/plain=vim.desktop
[04:07] <Angela_Smith> hi, anyone know how I can upgrade my kernel to K8 with a wibi install? I try from synaptic, but it dose not update the DOSGRUB
[04:07] <|lilox|> wait
[04:08] <Rolcol> How would I remove a Windows partition after installing Ubuntu?  Should I just delete the partitions?  (would that mess up GRUB?)
[04:08] <MasterShrek> anyone know which ebuild has lspci in it?
[04:08] <MasterShrek> woah, wrong channel sorry lol
[04:08] <Svenstaro> Rolcol, it wouldnt,
[04:08] <unop_> Devourer, vim.desktop isn't a valid desktop file, you need to make one
[04:08] <agent> so why else wouldn't lspci pick up a card
[04:08] <Svenstaro> Rolcol, you will want to regrow the partition after you deleted windows' one
[04:08] <tritium> MasterShrek: wrong distro also ;)
[04:08] <icanhasadmin> Rolcol: well i'd suggest you remove them from menu.lst after...
[04:08] <Devourer> unop_, what's a desktop file?!
[04:09] <MasterShrek> tritium, yea, wrong channel :)
[04:09] <Rolcol> Alright.  Thanks!
[04:09] <Svenstaro> Rolcol, to regrow the partition, use a live cd like gparted iso, because it needs to be done offline, without ubuntu running
[04:09] <unop_> Devourer, it's a file that contains info for a launcher, the command to execute, the icon, help hints, etc
[04:10] <|lilox|> thanks friend
[04:10] <Devourer> unop_, oh... Awesome. Where are they located?
[04:10] <Nith> |lilox|: np
[04:10] <Rolcol> Svenstaro, doesn't ubuntu's live CD include gparted?
[04:10] <Svenstaro> Rolcol, oh yes of course it does, it can do that too :)
[04:11] <unop_> Devourer, you can find out -- use one and follow the syntax to create one for your need - local *.desktop
[04:11] <unop_> Devourer, err, locate *.desktop
[04:11] <Svenstaro> Rolcol, be aware that moving and resizing big partitions can take several hours, if your comp crashes in the middle of that your partitions will become corrupted
[04:11] <|lilox|> nith, You have solved my problem, thanks
[04:11] <Nith> |lilox|: not a prob
[04:11] <tritium> Rolcol: regarding your /part message, how does one wonder (think, ponder) into a black hole?
[04:12] <SnoFox> My wireless adapter isn't beind detected or given power by Kubuntu - Can anyone help?
[04:12] <xenis69> lol that dhcp proggy
[04:12] <Rolcol> tritium, it's an inside joke on another IRC server.
[04:12] <xenis69> is for gui
[04:12] <Svenstaro> sure is
[04:12] <Rolcol> And thanks for everything, Svenstaro.
[04:13] <Svenstaro> xenis69, you need command line? then do sudo dpkg-recondigure dhcp3-server
[04:13] <SnoFox> Is there any module or package I can use to make it work? >.<
[04:13] <Svenstaro> Rolcol np
[04:13] <xenis69> need cli
[04:13] <unop_> Devourer, an important note,  your command  in the .desktop file should be -- x-terminal-emulator -e "vim %s"
[04:13] <xenis69> awsome
[04:13] <highpitch> iphone
[04:13] <Devourer> unop_, alright.
[04:13] <highpitch> any?
[04:14] <xenis69> command not found
[04:14] <Muhammad_Saad> Hello, I want to remove the permission for sudo from regular users. What do I have to do? Is there a possibility that it may cause some problems?
[04:14] <icanhasadmin> Muhammad_Saad: shouldn't cause problems, in fact i'd encourage it.
[04:14] <unop_> Muhammad_Saad, you need to edit the /etc/sudoers file and revoke their permissions
[04:14] <Svenstaro> xenis69, I suck i spelled it wrong, sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server
[04:15] <SnoFox> My wireless adapter isn't beind detected or given power by Kubuntu - Can anyone help? :o?

[04:18] <unop_> my eyes hurt reading that
[04:18] <Muhammad_Saad> icanhasadmin: unop_: I have seen that some applications and applets work through sudo. I felt that because when I set a password for root, some applications and applets started to ask me to provide a password and did not work with root password, instead they worked with the regular user account password.
[04:18] <Nis2k> Question: when i turn on my computer instead of getting my log-in screen i get a black screen like if the log screen is waiting to be loaded but it never loads, anyone knows how to fix this?
[04:18] <xenis69> is dhcp and dhcp3 the same ??
[04:18] <jimiridge> Nis2k, what video driver
[04:19] <jimiridge> card/etc
[04:19] <Svenstaro> Nis2k, that *may* be desired, have you had installed ubuntu for long? it may be checking your filesstem
[04:19] <Nis2k> jimiridge, nvidia-glx
[04:19] <xenis69> as in a service
[04:19] <Svenstaro> xenis69, no, the dhcp package refers to an older version, of course use YOUR package version in dpkg-reconfigure
[04:19] <jimiridge> open up a console CTRL+ALT+F2
[04:19] <unop_> Muhammad_Saad, if you've already enabled root - then you can use su and the root password
[04:19] <agent> if lspci gives me 2:0a.0 for a vidcard should my xorg device entry be "PCi:2:0a:0"?
[04:20] <Nith> cheers folks
[04:20] <xenis69> will ahh so i should apt get remove dhcp then?
[04:20] <Svenstaro> xenis69, not at all, tho I recommend the newer version of dhcp
[04:20] <jimiridge> Nis2k, feel free to /query me
[04:20] <Svenstaro> !s dhcp
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about s dhcp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <Svenstaro> whats the package command for ubotu again?
[04:20] <Nis2k> jimiridge, i just went to ubuntu-es and the man in charge told me to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, did that and now, i still have the same problem but now i cant do ctrl-alt-f1
[04:20] <tritium> Svenstaro: info
[04:21] <Svenstaro> !info dhcp
[04:21] <Bitmess> Is Synaptic supposed to ask for an Ubuntu CD every time I install a package?
[04:21] <jimiridge> aslong as you have a console its allgood
[04:21] <Svenstaro> Bitmess, in the repository options, disable CD
[04:21] <icanhasadmin> Bitmess: exactly what Svenstaro just said
[04:21] <Svenstaro> tritium, it doesnt want to talk to me
[04:21] <Nis2k> jimiridge, i dont have a console, i just have a black screen with my mouse pointer in waiting mode
[04:22] <tritium> ubotu: test
[04:22] <ubotu> Failed.
[04:22] <Bitmess> Svenstaro,  :) sounds like I should remove the CD from the repositories. Thanks
[04:22] <jimiridge> well i cant help you help yourself if you cant get a console up
[04:22] <Svenstaro> xenis69, I recommend you install dhcp3-server instead of dhcp-server, it will give you less trouble
[04:22] <tritium> Svenstaro: it's nothing personal
[04:22] <Svenstaro> tritium, he may not like me
[04:22] <Nis2k> jimiridge, i can get the console by starting up in recovery mode
[04:22] <Svenstaro> !helpersnack
[04:22] <ubotu> Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!
[04:23] <xenis69> ps aux comes up with the dhcp3 sevice
[04:23] <Svenstaro> Okay maybe he does
[04:23] <jimiridge> ok then do that
[04:23] <Nis2k> jimiridge, do what?
[04:23] <jimiridge> recovery mode
[04:23] <Nis2k> and then type what?
[04:24] <jimiridge> checkout the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:24] <Nis2k> what should i see?
[04:24] <xenis69> so now on reboot will i have to reconfiger to eth1 again?
[04:24] <jimiridge> cat /var/log/Xorg.log |grep EE
[04:24] <jimiridge> or grep WW
[04:24] <Svenstaro> xenis69, the changes will be permanent
[04:24] <xenis69> *over exited
[04:24] <jimiridge> you can see a cursor though right?
[04:24] <icanhasadmin> jimiridge: that's my favorite command for troubleshooting ;)
[04:25] <Nis2k> yeah i see i but only in waiting mode
[04:25] <Nis2k> the guy in ubuntu-es made my problem worse
[04:25] <xenis69> chears for the help ... im such a linux nood .... all in good time tho
[04:25] <jimiridge> weird thats never really happened to me
[04:26] <Nis2k> i reconfigured xorg, and now im not able to get the console from the black screen by pressing ctrl+alt+f1
[04:26] <jimiridge> i've had blank screen <error with the monitor section of xorg.conf> and just plain hell getting nvidia to work
[04:26] <icesword_> hehee
[04:26] <icesword_> ctrl alt f7
[04:26] <Nis2k> i have a black screen
[04:27] <jimiridge> i thought you said you couls see a mouse pointer?
[04:27] <Nis2k> yes i can
[04:27] <Nis2k> but in a black screen
[04:27] <jimiridge> does the mouse freeze?
[04:27] <Nis2k> no
[04:27] <Nis2k> i can move it
[04:27] <agent> so is pci:2:0a:0 a valid busid?
[04:27] <xenis69> dose any one here want to buy a cisco 24 port 10/100 managable switch?
[04:27] <Coops> Anyone know why after I installed php 5.2.5 it still shows up as 5.2.3 in phpinfo() ?
[04:28] <xenis69> i need gigabit
[04:28] <clinton> xenis69: omg I've been wanting one of those for years!
[04:28] <Svenstaro> Coops, restrart apache
[04:28] <Nis2k> plus, the ubuntu-es guy banned me
[04:28] <Coops> Svenstaro: already did
[04:28] <jimiridge> well checkout the Xorg.log
[04:29] <Nis2k> ok i made a xorg backup anyway
[04:29] <Svenstaro> xenis69, please know that advertising for stuff you want to sell should rather be done outside this channel
[04:29] <Nis2k> ok i need to reboot my comp, i booted from the live cd
[04:29] <Nis2k> ill be back in a couple of mins
[04:29] <Nis2k> jimiridge, dont go please
[04:29] <jimiridge> heh
[04:29] <Svenstaro> Coops, check the modules symlink, the old php may still be linked
[04:30] <jimiridge> x can be a $#@% sometimes
[04:30] <xenis69> my appoligys
[04:30] <Coops> Svenstaro: Where can I find it?
[04:30] <Nis2k> BRB
[04:30] <Coops> You mean the .so?
[04:30] <Svenstaro> coops, yes
[04:30] <Coops> Svenstaro: Where should it be linked to now?
[04:31] <Svenstaro> coops, php5.load should read "LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so"
[04:31] <Svenstaro> coops, of course, at that position the updated libphp5.so should be, if it is not the package maintainer might have screwed up
[04:32] <Coops> Svenstaro: Yea, that's where it points
[04:32] <Svenstaro> Coops, did you install CGI version or module one?
[04:32] <Coops> I see that /usr/local/bin/php is 5.2.5 but /usr/bin/php is 5.2.3
[04:32] <Coops> Svenstaro: I believe the module one
[04:33] <xenis69> what is the command to view hardware ? eg pci slots
[04:33] <Coops> lspci
[04:33] <Svenstaro> xenis69 lshw

[04:35] <ghostnob> HELP! I'm following the BIND9 tutorial on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto but I don't understand where it says "Now, you can add DNS records to the bottom of the zone". my domain name is haryoh.com. Would I have to create ns.haryoh.com or use my FQDN ns?
[04:36] <JohnRobert> ghostnob: you need to read the manual properly, it's too easy to make mistakes otherwise.

[04:42] <Crysm> I've mistakenly overwritten a partition table with the wrong information.  Is there an easy way to fix this or do I have to know the start/end cylinders, etc?  The disk had two NTFS partitions, if that's important.
[04:42] <ghostnob> the documentaiton says ns.example.com.... my domain is haryoh.com; would I have to use my nameservers where it says @      IN     NS     ns.example.com? this is my first trial in setting up a public server, whatever mistake I make now, will help me when I want to set it up in future... HELP please...
[04:42] <tritium> Coops: apt-cache search for it
[04:43] <Nis2k> jimiridge?
[04:43] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: chances are it's just a difference between the way firefox and IE render web pages
[04:43] <jimiridge> ye
[04:43] <Coops> tritium: I'm not seeing one for 5.2.5
[04:43] <Nis2k> didnt woek
[04:43] <Nis2k> didnt work
[04:43] <jimiridge> no console?
[04:43] <Nis2k> it said no such file or directory
[04:43] <JohnRobert> Crysm: grub-install should re-write the partition table, but that in turn may screw up your windows bootloader etc...
[04:43] <donkey7186> nightytweek i dont think so because i use firefox on windows as well and it works
[04:43] <jimiridge> ?well ya screwed something up then
[04:43] <Nis2k> i didnt
[04:44] <unop_> ghostnob, replace all instances of example.com with haryoh.com
[04:44] <donkey7186> nighty tweek do you think that there is a plugin or something that is not activated on firefox?
[04:44] <ghostnob> ok.. thanks...
[04:44] <Nis2k> well how, i havent been messing with anything i shoulnt mess with
[04:44] <kenboo> ghostnob: your ns is ns54.domaincontrol.com
[04:44] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: Hmm... can you give me an example of one?
[04:44] <donkey7186> yes hold please and ill get you a link
[04:44] <Nis2k> jimiridge please help, is there anything else i can do?
[04:44] <ghostnob> yes... so i should use that?
[04:44] <Crysm> JohnRobert: I don't mind the bootloader being messed up, as that's what I was trying to fix in the first place, but will that preserve file structure?  I don't have any backups of one of the partitions.
[04:44] <kenboo> ghostnob: unless the ns administrator delegate it to your server, you can't do anything
[04:45] <bookmark> so how do you do all that nifty 3d shit?

[04:45] <Aval0n> can anyone tell
[04:45] <Nis2k> hey jimiridge i think my priovate chat isnt working
[04:45] <nickrud> bookmark compiz?  install the right driver (if there's one for your vid card) and enable it
[04:45] <JohnRobert> Crysm: the data will still be there, grub-install only puts grub into the boot sector. I'm fairly sure grub-install also writes the partition table..
[04:45] <bookmark> is compviz already installed?
[04:46] <bookmark> or do i need to install that
[04:46] <JohnRobert> like I say, I'm only suggesting that's what you look into, don't just grub-install as it might make things worse
[04:46] <jimiridge> dual booting?
[04:46] <ghostnob> which means i will have to let my domain name provider know(godaddy)... should I just use DYNAMIC DNS then?
[04:46] <tim__> How do i add shortcut to TERMINAL in xfce menu ??!!!
[04:46] <Nis2k> hey jimiridge my private chat isnt working
[04:46] <nickrud> bookmark it's installed by default. What vid card do you have?   lspci | grep -i vga   will tell you exactly
[04:46] <bookmark> nickrud: thanks
[04:46] <jimiridge> ok
[04:46] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: I've requested to add you as a friend so I can see your profile
[04:46] <donkey7186> kk hold please
[04:46] <Nis2k> jimiridge, anything else i can do?
[04:46] <bookmark> nickrud: i have a geforce6200
[04:47] <jimiridge> are you logged in with a bash shell?
[04:47] <donkey7186> nighty tweek i accepted
[04:47] <Nis2k> pff i dunno what a bash shell is
[04:47] <bookmark> nickrud: what if i just want to run straight debian, can i still use compviz with another window manager?
[04:47] <bookmark> or is ubuntu a window manager?
[04:47] <tim__> How do i add shortcut to TERMINAL in xfce menu ??!!!
[04:47] <cellofellow> bookmark: compiz is a window manager
[04:47] <bookmark> ah
[04:47] <jimiridge> Nis2k james@Acer-4315:~/openmoko/openmoko$  <-- bash shell
[04:47] <nickrud> bookmark theoretically (I don't have nvidia) all you have to do is system->admin->restricted manager , and log out and back and go to system-:>prefs->appearance effects tab
[04:47] <cellofellow> bookmark: gnome is a desktop. metacity is the default WM, compiz the fancy one.
[04:48] <Nis2k> it said something like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:48] <nickrud> bookmark haven't run debian in years, not familiar with what's in sid (and probably not in stable)
[04:48] <jimiridge> yes that is a shell and prolly bash
[04:48] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: I see what the problem is. There's a bug in the Flash plugin for Firefox which causes flash applets to appear over top of everything else, even if they are supposed to display underneath things
[04:48] <bookmark> which brings me to another question
[04:49] <donkey7186> nighty tweek so is there something that i can do to fix it?
[04:49] <bookmark> how the heck do you exit X?
[04:49] <bookmark> i tried the other day
[04:49] <jimiridge> Nis2k, /join #nixtutor
[04:49] <cellofellow> MightyTweek: yeah, that's an annowing bug
[04:49] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: You can use Adblock to disable individual flash objects to work around the problem
[04:49] <jimiridge> i cant think with all these lines going by
[04:49] <donkey7186> nighty tweek how do i do that?
[04:49] <Nis2k> jimiridge, no such channel
[04:49] <bookmark> like exit xwindows to a console
[04:49] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: one sec
[04:49] <Niveous> Ok I am new to ubuntu. I dont know what version I need to download.. does the desktop include the server stuff...
[04:50] <nickrud> bookmark  ctl-alt-f2 , login, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop.  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to get X back. clt-alt-f7 if needed to see the gui login
 ok
[04:50] <icanhasadmin> bookmark: ctrl alt f1?
[04:50] <cellofellow> bookmark: you can hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill X, which then restarts because GDM is running. Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] gets you to a console. `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop` will kill gdm.
[04:50] <icanhasadmin> yeah, what he said lol
[04:50] <nickrud> Niveous you can certainly install whatever server stuff you want on the desktop
[04:50] <bookmark> ok now back to the nvidia question
[04:50] <Hansel> from a console you need not push CTRL ALT F7... ALT F7 works  ;)
[04:51] <bookmark> if i'm running the live cd and it asks for a restart can i do that?
[04:51] <nickrud> bookmark no
[04:51] <Hansel> to GET to a console CTRL ALT + F1-F6 is needed... to get back to GUI just ALT + F7
[04:51] <bookmark> heheh
[04:51] <bookmark> damn so ill have to wait for my new harddrive to test the nvidia drivers
[04:51] <bookmark> no big whoop
[04:51] <donkey7186> mighty tweek: should i go into sunaptic and add the program mozilla-firefox-adblock???
[04:53] <Niveous> Ok So I download the desktop verson... anyone know what is one of the faster servers are.
[04:53] <jga23> are there any drivers for the dell dimension internal card reader?
[04:53] <kindofabuzz> donkey7186: adblockplus.org
[04:53] <donkey7186> mighty tweek: should i go into sunaptic and add the program mozilla-firefox-adblock???
[04:53] <nickrud> Niveous I use the torrent myself, generally quick enough.
[04:54] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: I've looked again at that page, and I'm not sure Adblock will fix the problem after all. The thing is, if you hide the flash applet you won't be able to see the links to click on them
[04:54] <donkey7186> kindofbuzz: should i go into synaptic and add the program mozilla-firefox-adblock?
[04:54] <Crysm> Is there a utility I can use to edit my partition table without changing any other sectors?  I've got a bad table and I'm trying to regain access to the first partition on the drive without losing file data.
[04:55] <sstoveld> hey guys, i just installed GKrellM, but i cant seem to find it now. i checked on the wiki it says to go to Applications > System Tools > GKrellM, but i dont have a System Tools menu in my Applications Menu
[04:55] <genii> donkey7186: No. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
[04:56] <AdamNess> I'm about to break the Approvals Database...
[04:56] <Trey85> hey all
[04:57] <AdamNess> If anyone has any urgent business on the approvals database, do it now... I'm going to upload some massive changes, and things might not be working tomorrow during the day.
[04:57] <Trey85> anyone had a problem with ubuntu not installing form the cd/dvd
[04:57] <Niveous> hmm ok Nickrud ... what is this one ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent ....
[04:57] <Niveous> or should i get ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[04:57] <donkey7186> genni: how do i get all the webpages to stop blocking?
[04:58] <nickrud> Niveous alternate doesn't have the livecd , desktop does. alternate will install on more machines, and gives more control over the install.
[04:58] <nickrud> Niveous alternate also uses a text install screen, it's not as simplified as the install from the desktop cd.
[04:59] <Niveous> ok so I want alternate... dont want livecd....
[04:59] <Niveous> it for a server I am doing up
[04:59] <nickrud> Niveous I always use the alternate myself ;)
[04:59] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: once you've installed adblock, you'll see a tab on each Flash applet on a webpage you visit that says "Block", click on that.
[04:59] <Niveous> for someone
[04:59] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: but like I say, on those Myspace pages, when you block the applet, you won't be able to see the links to click on them
[05:00] <nickrud> Niveous there's a server disk as well, doesn't have the gui stuff and more server stuff installed by default.
[05:00] <MightyTweek> you're probably best to wait until the bug is fixed
[05:00] <Niveous> will I need the gui stuff... is it that hard to install it later
[05:00] <donkey7186> mighty tweek so all the items that are block i need to unblock?
[05:01] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: by default it should only be blocking ads
[05:01] <MightyTweek> you shouldn't need to unblock anything
[05:01] <ether_c> Hi, I've searched quite a bit online for a solution to this problem but found nothing. I have an NTFS external usb hard drive. When I plug it in, nautilus pops up a window and it seems like it is mounted, but I don't see the files on it.
[05:01] <ether_c> oh crap
[05:01] <ether_c> maybe I should post this in ubuntu+1
[05:01] <nickrud> adblock is great, I have like 9 rules and almost never see an add
[05:02] <donkey7186> is there something like another web site program i can download where it doesnt block them? cause i have no idea what to do with this adblock to make it from blocking everything. cause i need to be able to click the links!
[05:02] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: what is it blocking that you need to click on?
[05:02] <nickrud> donkey7186 edit the blocking rules
[05:02] <donkey7186> like the add as friend. message, instant message
[05:02] <donkey7186> how do i edit blocking rules?
[05:03] <Niveous> nickrud .. so is it hard to install the gui stuff after i install server edtion
[05:03] <nickrud> donkey7186  tools->addblock , right click and select delete, then apply
[05:03] <nickrud> Niveous yes, very simple to add the gui. As easy as adding the server stuff to a guified version
[05:04] <donkey7186> nickrud there are no rules to delete
[05:04] <qft> hehe
[05:04] <Niveous> ok thanks nickrud maybe back later
[05:04] <qft> are you ready
[05:04] <nickrud> Niveous as in installing the   ubuntu-desktop   package will install the desktop with openoffice and a bunch of other stuff
[05:04] <nickrud> donkey7186 very strange that it's blocking anything then
[05:04] <donkey7186> is there a way you can try and look at it?
[05:05] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: adblock isn't blocking the links. If you've told it to block the flash applet, you just can't see the links. See, what's happening is the theme makes the links invisible and puts them over the text in the flash applet, to make it look like you're clicking on the flash applet
[05:05] <nickrud> donkey7186 what exactly is getting bocked?
[05:05] <nickrud> ah, myspace crap
[05:06] <donkey7186> mighty tweek so how can i get it to be able to click the links? or do i have to download a new program
[05:06] <mzuverink> How do I go about changing a volume descriptor of a fat32 external disk, it is mounted as "disk" and I would like to change it to something else?
[05:06] <donkey7186> mighty tweek cause im just using my myspace as an example. i have friends with the myflash page theme and i cant message them
[05:06] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: you will probably have to wait until the bug in Flash is fixed
[05:06] <Niveous> man I hate thinking....
[05:07] <nickrud> mzuverink right click the incon on the desktop, select properties, and the volumes tab. Click the triangle next to settings, and give it a name. Do not use a path, only a single name, like   fat32
[05:07] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: or install a userscript to block custom myspace themes, like this one: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/997
[05:07] <Allyn> I dunno how adblock works but couldnt you give myspace permission to play flash aps?
[05:07] <nickrud> mzuverink erm, the place you give it a name is the   mountpoint
[05:07] <mzuverink> nickrud, thanks, Ill give it a try
[05:08] <MightyTweek> Allyn: the problem is that there's a bug in Flash that makes Flash applets appear over top of everything when they aren't supposed to, which is breaking this particular MySpace theme
[05:08] <donkey7186> mighty tweek how do i install that userscript
[05:08] <nicle> hi all, is the libiconv still in the Ubuntu's repos?
[05:09] <nickrud> !find libconv
[05:09] <ubotu> Found: sh:
[05:09] <Allyn> Well that bites I guess if you need to use MySpace
[05:09] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: first install Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
[05:09] <nickrud> !find libiconv  | nicle

[05:12] <donkey7186> should i remove adblock?
[05:12] <agent_> so what does it MEAN when you get lspci reporting bus of 2:0x.0 where x= a b or c depending on pci slot?
 I think these is not the libiconv of C library
[05:12] <wargasim> I have installed ubuntu as a dual boot, winxp, then ubuntu, However, when i ran the initial setup, after i took the livecd out and the isntallation was complete, It booted straight into windows firsts
[05:12] <Peddy> can someone tell me if 60degrees celsius is too hot for my CPU temperature?
[05:12] <Peddy> please ;)
[05:12] <agent_> previously i had something like 2:9.0 for the same slot with a different card
[05:12] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: you can, but only if you like seeing ads on web pages :)
[05:13] <donkey7186> i usually dont get ads lol
[05:13] <wargasim> Then I ran Acronis in windows to set the Ubuntu drive active so that it can boot, Now, I get this error loading system.
[05:14] <ike> Hello?
[05:14] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: looks like I spoke too soon. You'll still need to use Adblock to disable the flash applets

[05:21] <ike> No helping going on right now huh....
[05:21] <MightyTweek> ogre: you should be able to open them up in Firefox
[05:21] <ogre> MightyTweek:  there is no standalone player?
[05:22] <kenboo> ogre iirc mplayer worked
[05:22] <MightyTweek> ogre: I believe mplayer and xine will both play them as well
[05:23] <kenboo> if not, ffmpeg can convert flv to mpeg
[05:23] <nife> mplayer plays everything.  I think it would play a record if I could hook it up to a computer
[05:23] <kenboo> hehe
[05:23] <Irreducibilis> nife: lol

[05:27] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[05:28] <MightyTweek> JohnRobert: schedule is here if you're curious: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule
[05:28] <cesurasean> why would anyone use ubuntu over debian?
[05:28] <agent_> what's better about debian?
[05:28] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, because of the clean desktop packageS :)
[05:28] <JohnRobert> cesurasean: it's got much better support for restricted formats and stuff, it's got much newer packages
[05:28] <ploom> cesurasean, no nice installer
[05:28] <nife> don't feed the trolls
[05:28] <Peddy> can someone please tell me if 60 degrees is to hot for my Cpu temp?
[05:28] <FFForever> can i play m4a on ubuntu????
[05:28] <agent_> 60 should be fine
[05:28] <Svenstaro> Peddy, its okay
[05:28] <JohnRobert> it uses more user-friendly stuff by default, like networkmanager etc
[05:29] <Peddy> Svenstaro: cheers mate ;)
[05:29] <cesurasean> 60 degrees is fine
[05:29] <JohnRobert> don't get me wrong, I think debian is better in a lot of ways
[05:29] <ploom> cesurasean, well actually the system is about the same, but ubuntu has marketing
[05:29] <JohnRobert> especially in terms of being a server
[05:29] <JohnRobert> it's rock solid.
[05:29] <JohnRobert> ROCK solid
[05:29] <Peddy> how much do you think is *too* hot?
[05:29] <Svenstaro> Yup Debian for server all the way
[05:29] <cesurasean> ubuntu has a server version though, yes?
[05:29] <JohnRobert> yeah, but it's a bit 'meh'
[05:29] <Svenstaro> Peddy, starting at 75ยฐ its getting too hot
[05:29] <shin> f
[05:29] <ploom> cesurasean, yes afaik
[05:29] <MightyTweek> Peddy: when your computer turns itself off
[05:30] <agent_> so what does it MEAN when you get lspci reporting bus of 2:0x.0 where x= a b or c depending on pci slot?  is that ok or what?  I am trying to use the reported numbers for BUSID in my xorg.conf and it isn't working...
[05:30] <shin> gw ga ngerti........
[05:30] <Peddy> MightyTweak: so I can't explode it when I overclock it?
[05:30] <Peddy> MightyTweak: let me rephrase, will the temperature be able to melt it or something
[05:30] <cesurasean> yes, you can burn up your cpu when you overclock.
[05:30] <MightyTweek> Peddy: probably not. But if it does, please don't sue me
[05:30] <Svenstaro> Peddy, usually not, if you turn up the voltages too high, it will break
[05:30] <Peddy> yeah I don't want to sue you
[05:30] <icanhasadmin> Peddy: overclocking is generally a bad idea
[05:30] <Peddy> in new zealand you can't sue
[05:31] <ploom> cesurasean, debianistas are still doing a great job! Hope the rest of Ubuntu developers take it the same way
[05:31] <Peddy> icanhasadmin: why do you think that?
[05:31] <cesurasean> ubuntu is based on debian. :P
[05:31] <MightyTweek> peddy: there will typically be a setting in the bios to make a warning beep or something if it gets too hot, and then turn off if it gets way too hot
[05:31] <icanhasadmin> Peddy: there's a reason processors have ratings
[05:32] <Peddy> icanhasadmin: that's why I have water cooling ;)
[05:32] <norty> Question: How do i search for a file using grep if i know the name?
[05:32] <cesurasean> overclocking will just make your system unstable
[05:32] <FFForever> can i play m4a on ubuntu????
[05:32] <icanhasadmin> man grep comes to mind..
[05:32] <Svenstaro> I've overclocked my Q6600 from 2.4ghz to 3.4ghz and it runs pretty stable :)
[05:32] <Svenstaro> On air!
[05:32] <Peddy> Svenstaro: I've overclocked a 1.86 to 3.4
[05:32] <Peddy> 3.2*
[05:32] <Peddy> stable
[05:33] <MightyTweek> norty: you might want to try the locate command
[05:33] <Svenstaro> Peddy is there a 1.86 quodcore?
[05:33] <Peddy> ran prime96 for 13 hours
[05:33] <Peddy> I'm not sure
[05:33] <scala> I'm getting an error when installing NDISwrapper: http://rafb.net/p/EXiBea32.html
[05:33] <Peddy> 95*
[05:35] <Peddy> Svenstaro: so I went out to buy a 2.4GHz, and it wouldn't even overclock. i got a bad batch or something ^^
[05:35] <Svenstaro> Peddy :P
[05:35] <MightyTweek> scala: Try setting the variable KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC to 1 before running make
[05:36] <MightyTweek> scala: I just got that from here, don't really know what it means http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/an-error-about-fix-it-to-use-extracflags-625753/
[05:36] <norty> Question: My compiz got messed up somehow and so i reinstalled, but now it doesn't work at all, how do i refresh everything so it works again?
[05:36] <cesurasean> anyone ever encountered a motherboard that turns on, but won't post?
[05:36] <Peddy> Svenstaro yep
[05:36] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, yes
[05:37] <Peddy> oops wrong window
[05:37] <cesurasean> what's the problem with the motherboard? any idea?
[05:37] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, does it beep
[05:37] <cesurasean> no
[05:37] <d_bo> where is the best place for me to ask very simple n00b questions about an ubuntu install?
[05:37] <pen> is there a way to find the screen model?
[05:37] <Svenstaro> cesurasean does it say anything at all?
[05:37] <cesurasean> and the on board ethernet lights up and turns off real quick
[05:37] <MightyTweek> d_bo: right here
[05:37] <cesurasean> no
[05:37] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, how many memory modules are on it?
[05:37] <cesurasean> none, I took them out
[05:37] <cesurasean> it's just the mobo by itself
[05:38] <cesurasean> with the processor in
[05:38] <UBuntu--Newbie> hi all
[05:38] <Svenstaro> cesurasean a mobo doesnt post without memory
[05:38] <cesurasean> the processor still gets hot
[05:38] <MightyTweek> pen: try System>Preferences>Hardware Information
[05:38] <mkquist> cesurasean: well i dont think it will post w/o memory
[05:38] <cesurasean> it should beep without memory though
[05:38] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, it might not
[05:38] <cesurasean> it doesn't work with memory either
[05:38] <cesurasean> I think the mobo is fried, but Im trying to find the problem.
[05:39] <cesurasean> I don't understand how it stills runs without posting
[05:39] <rgmp> heyyy
[05:39] <Svenstaro> cesurasean you might wanna see if all critical connectors are connected
[05:39] <cesurasean> they are
[05:39] <Master_Chief> Hey guys
[05:39] <mkquist> cesurasean: try taking it out of the case, put if on something like a phone book to isolate it and just try to boot with the minimum required to boot, see what happens, if its still good u should get a boot
[05:39] <pen> MightyTweek: well, there is no hardware Information
[05:39] <Master_Chief> I would like to split a 6gb file into two archives
[05:39] <MightyTweek> actually pen, never mind, it probably won't tell you
[05:39] <Master_Chief> Could someone help me?
[05:39] <cesurasean> ok, what happened was my friend's computer died. I think lightning got it. So I went to test his PSU inside my unit, and I think it fried my mobo.
[05:40] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, you want to use 7zip for that, you should google it and read up on it, its easy
[05:40] <pen> MightyTweek: ok
[05:40] <cesurasean> possibly static discharge from his PSU?
[05:40] <mkquist> cesurasean: bad move, id think...
[05:40] <Master_Chief> i installled 7zip through synaptic but i cant find it in the applications
[05:40] <cesurasean> yup
[05:40] <mkquist> cesurasean: but my suggestion is above.. good luck
[05:40] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, you have to use the CLI to do that
[05:40] <cesurasean> new mobo is coming tomorrow via fedex
[05:40] <cesurasean> I've tried it outside the case, nothing happens
[05:41] <Master_Chief> oh okay
[05:41] <Master_Chief> =)
[05:41] <cesurasean> Do you think my CPU is fried too?
[05:41] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, it might be
[05:41] <UBuntu--Newbie> hi all is there anyone here that is a debian king/queen?
[05:41] <cesurasean> doh
[05:42] <cesurasean> im kinda scared to try the CPU inside the new mobo
[05:42] <Svenstaro> UBuntu--Newbie I kinda have experience in debian :) been sysadmin on debian for 4 years if thats okay
[05:42] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, the cpu will not do harm to the new mobo
[05:42] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, where can I find some understandable documentation about Snort and Base ?
[05:42] <cesurasean> the cpu won't have static discharge? or any other components?
[05:42]  * AutoMatriX is not a native english speaker
[05:42] <Svenstaro> AutoMatriX, try howto forge, theres a cool howto on those
[05:42] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, usually not
[05:42] <Svenstaro> AutoMatriX, where are you from?
[05:43] <cesurasean> so the mobo took all of the discharge itself? and won't spread to RAM, anything else? I checked the HD and it seems to fire up just fine on another computer.
[05:43] <AutoMatriX> Svenstaro, Belgium, so Dutch or french is more readable to me
[05:43] <UBuntu--Newbie> Svenstaro, what do u know about setting up an inhouse imap server?
[05:43] <Svenstaro> AutoMatriX, sorry, cant help with that.
[05:43] <AutoMatriX> Svenstaro, got it installed, bu tI'd like to shut it up on ome 'alerts' ....
[05:44] <friedtofu> anyone know whats new in openoffice 2.4?
[05:44] <Svenstaro> UBuntu--Newbie with virtual users?
[05:44] <cesurasean> I wish there was a way to test the CPU...
[05:44] <friedtofu> test cpu how?...
[05:44] <UBuntu--Newbie> i think so
[05:45] <donkey7186> Help i just installed IE on ubuntu and want to get rid of it. How do i do that
[05:45] <Svenstaro> UBuntu--Newbie which program do you want to use?
[05:45] <cesurasean> WHY would you want to get rid of IE? :D
[05:45] <Svenstaro> donkey7186, why would you install IE on ubuntu? :(
[05:45] <AutoMatriX> donkey7186, IE ?
[05:45] <Svenstaro> lol
[05:45] <cesurasean> I love IE.
[05:45] <UBuntu--Newbie> brb
[05:45] <cesurasean> <--- windows user
[05:46] <friedtofu> oh.. you can use ie4linux but thats only designed for web developers...
[05:46] <AutoMatriX> cesurasean, never mind, nobody's perfect
[05:46] <cesurasean> lol
[05:46] <donkey7186> well i am having trouble looking at web pages on Firefox. i cannot click on certain links on myspace. and people tried to help me saying its a flass problem. so i tried that but i would like to get rid of IE
[05:46] <friedtofu> flash.. then install it >.>?
[05:46] <cesurasean> hopefully my new mobo works with every other part of my old computer.
[05:46] <donkey7186> no there is something wrong with flash at the moment on myspace
[05:46] <MightyTweek> friedtofu: it's the bug where flash objects appear on top of the text on web pages
[05:47] <friedtofu> ah ah well
[05:48] <Master_Chief> hey guys, is there an archiver for ubuntu that has a GUI, like winrar?
[05:48] <nikrud> Master_Chief file-roller
[05:48] <donkey7186> So can someone help me get rid of IE
[05:49] <agent_> so what does it MEAN when you get lspci reporting bus of 2:0x.0 where x= a b or c depending on pci slot?  is that ok or what?  I am trying to use the reported numbers for BUSID in my xorg.conf and it isn't working... so is that a valid busid or some kinda generic spaceholder?
[05:49] <nikrud> donkey7186 a drastic method (one I suggest strongly) is rm -r ~/.wine ;)
[05:49] <donkey7186> ?
[05:49] <MightyTweek> master_chief: right-click on applications, select "edit menu", click on accessories on the left-hand side and put a check next to "archive manager"
[05:49] <donkey7186> rm ?
[05:49] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: what instructions did you follow to install IE?
[05:50] <donkey7186> let me see if i can get em
[05:50] <nikrud> donkey7186 rm -r  removes a directory and all of it's contents; ~/.wine is where ie got installed
[05:50] <Svenstaro> agent_ you want "sudo lshw -businfo"
[05:50] <gumby600m> pastie: send me a link!
[05:50] <donkey7186> so can i just remove the IE folder?
[05:51] <cesurasean> heh I love bidding on ebay and not paying for items
[05:51] <jx> whats up guys?
[05:51] <agent_> pci@0000:02:0c.0
[05:51] <MightyTweek> jx: saving the world
[05:51] <fuffalo> i keep having problems with my npviewer.bin taking up massive amounts of my CPU/ram on my system, and i have to go in and kill the process...it seems to happen almost every time i refresh a page...any ideas? =/
[05:51] <agent_> same kinda numbah
[05:51] <Svenstaro> cesurasean, youre a scammer
[05:51] <jx> :)
[05:51] <donkey7186> these are the instructions i followed
[05:51] <donkey7186> http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu
, you should be ashamed/
[05:52] <hypnodox> what could be the reason for flash not loading on firefox from time to time? I then have to restart the browser to fix it
[05:52] <nikrud> donkey7186 probably not (the ie folder under ~/.wine) and have wine run properly; removing ~/.wine completely would allow you to reconfigure wine (like a fresh xp install)
[05:52] <donkey7186> so if i remove wine then it should be fine?
[05:53] <donkey7186> if i remove wine will anything get messed up?
[05:53] <jx> haha hey check this out... read what this lady says about our OS...http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2<IP_ADDRESS>056.2147.html
[05:53] <nikrud> donkey7186 remove the ~/.wine folder ?  no.
[05:53] <hp> flash sucks up all my resources. playing a simple youtube video and the cpu works at 70-90%. is there a way to lower this?
[05:53] <cesurasean> no one thinks my RAM or CPU got fried when the mobo died?
[05:53] <donkey7186> how do i do it
[05:53] <Svenstaro> agent_ PCI:2:0:0 is your bus id
[05:53] <Master_Chief> errr guys, I am using 7zip at the moment, splitting a 7GB file, its going so slow
[05:54] <Master_Chief> and i see its only using 25% of each of my cores
[05:54] <MightyTweek> donkey7186: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Uninstall
[05:54] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, it can take hours :) 7GB is pretty huge
[05:54] <xpistos_> okay so this is fun, I am in chat, but FF and Opera will not load
[05:54] <cesurasean> no one thinks my RAM or CPU got fried when the mobo died?
[05:54] <xpistos_> anybody got any suggestions?
[05:54] <nikrud> donkey7186  apps->accessories->terminal, type in there:    rm -r  ~/.wine  .    I am using ubuntu 7.10, the pc wont let me install the server version :(
[05:56] <cesurasean> Ubuntu--Newbie, try Howtoforge.com
[05:56] <Master_Chief> guys, any ideas: 7z is going so slow, and its only using 25% of each of my cores
[05:56] <xpistos_> I have tried rebooting with no success
[05:56] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, are you using p7zip?
[05:56] <UBuntu--Newbie> i hope there is something in there, i have been searching for 2 weeks now for something
[05:56] <Master_Chief> yes, sven, i am
[05:56] <UBuntu--Newbie> i have even tried the "Perfect Server" from flurdy
[05:56] <Master_Chief> =)
[05:57] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, on CLI run "7za b"
[05:57] <Svenstaro> and see how many threads it uses
[05:57] <Master_Chief> # CPU hardware threads:   4
[05:58] <Master_Chief> p7zip Version 4.51 (locale=en_AU.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,4 CPUs)
[05:58] <Master_Chief> weird, eh?
[05:58] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, goodie, then use the cli version, not a gui wrapper one
[05:58] <Master_Chief> oh well, its 88%
[05:58] <agent_> Svenstaro: but wouldn't 2:0:0 be my busid for all 3 slots then?
[05:58] <Master_Chief> sven, i am using CLI at the moment
[05:58] <Svenstaro> agent_ dunno :) try it
[05:58] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, oh, uhm
[05:58] <Master_Chief> i figured i was comfortable with it =)
[05:58] <a_dashing> hi
[05:58] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, can you paste the command u use?
[05:59] <agent_> did, no video
[05:59] <Master_Chief> 7z a -t7z -v400m /media/sda5/DOWNLOADS/GAMES/acreed.7z /media/sda5/DOWNLOADS/GAMES/Assassins.Creed-RELOADED/rld-acrd/rld-acrd.iso -mx0
[05:59] <Svenstaro> agent_ run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg, it will detect it
[05:59] <jbwiv_> guys...anyone using Hardy? I upgraded a rather vanilla Gutsy install tonight and now none of my sound cards (SBLive) are being recognized...
[05:59] <Master_Chief> i used this site to help me
[05:59] <Master_Chief> http://www.howtoadvice.com/7zipHelper/
[05:59] <juice> anyone know if i can get my iMon Ultra Bay working in ubuntu 7.10 x86?
[06:00] <a_dashing> can u plz tell me the useful commands for vi editor???
[06:00] <Master_Chief> sven, it finished anyway
[06:00] <Master_Chief> dont worry =)
[06:00] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, you didnt compress it, you used mx0
[06:00] <Master_Chief> yeah
[06:00] <Master_Chief> i just needed to split it
[06:00] <Master_Chief> didnt need compression at all
[06:01] <Master_Chief> would that slow it down?
[06:01] <agent_> Svenstaro: did  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg change my xorg.conf or what?
[06:01] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief ah right okay, you got a ftp running so I can fetch assassins? :P
[06:01] <Svenstaro> agent_ yes
[06:01] <jbwiv_> is there a particular channel that focuses on Ubuntu beta releases?
[06:01] <Svenstaro> agent_ but it made a backup I think
[06:01] <Svenstaro> jbwiv_, #ubuntu+1
[06:01] <icanhasadmin> #ubuntu+1
[06:02] <agent_> nothing changed....
[06:02] <fouad> hi , how I can increase my devshm size ???
[06:02] <Svenstaro> agent_ my bad, its sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:02] <fouad> I know in Fedora I could do it in the fstab , but I can't find it in ubuntu
[06:03] <a_dashing> why dont u reply me ?
[06:03] <Master_Chief> oh yeah, thanks for the help sven mate
[06:03] <Master_Chief> appreciate it
[06:03] <Master_Chief> my upstream is 200 kbps, so youll be fetching it for a while =)
[06:04] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief, uhm thats okay :P
[06:04] <agent_> that autodetected my agp card that is indeed working fine, but not my secondary card that's on the 2:0c:0
[06:04] <Svenstaro> Master_Chief but its okay, ill fetch it myself
[06:04] <agent_> can i tell dpkg-reconfigure to ignore the one card?
[06:04] <Svenstaro> agent_ no, it is laid out only to detect a single card
[06:05] <nks_> Hello all ! Do anyone have a link to a tutorial on installing Atheros AR5418 wireless pci on a macbook 2.16ghz. running Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[06:05] <friedtofu> madwifi?
[06:05] <fouad> ok I got it
[06:05] <fouad> nevermind
[06:05] <Master_Chief> exit
[06:05] <cesurasean> why would you run ubuntu on a macbook? LOL
[06:05] <cesurasean> MacOSX is already freebsd :P
[06:06] <friedtofu> nks_ i believe it should work if you go to Restricted Drivers... and it should automatically detect taht you need the driver... otherwise i think you should go and install madwifi (for atheros based wireless cards)
[06:06] <pcglue> The /var/lib partition on my mythtv box became full and got corrupted.  It's XFS filesystem and I can't mount it.  Seems like I get hardware errors when I try to mount it (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6125/).  Is there anything else I should try before trying xfs_repair?
[06:06] <nks_> I'd went to madwifi and used ndiswrapper with it and constantly getting the thummbs down...
[06:08] <nks_> I haven't used the restricted drivers - I'll give that a try !
[06:08] <friedtofu> eh?... ndiswrapper? you should really only need to install the madwifi...
[06:09] <friedtofu> make then install...
[06:09] <agent_> maybe i should just remove the other card, reboot, run dpgk-reconfigure, save the xorg.conf file, shutdown, readd card, and manually add the stuff from the other card?
[06:09] <friedtofu> huh. theres another card?..
[06:09] <agent_> yeah.  2 video cards
[06:10] <friedtofu> i doubt that video cards would matter or xorg.conf would for that cause in getting your wifi detected
[06:10] <agent_> but one says it's pci bus is 2:0c:0 or 2:0b:0 or 2:0a:0 depending on pci slot
[06:10] <agent_> that's the other guy
[06:10] <agent_> lol
[06:10] <friedtofu> oh
[06:10] <friedtofu> haha
[06:10] <flinttown420> modprobe -a ndiswrapper
[06:10] <flinttown420> add wifi driver to ndiswrapper
[06:10] <flinttown420> i hate wireless setup heh
[06:11] <friedtofu> it works all well with madwifi
[06:11] <friedtofu> i wanted to get the wireless LED to blink...
[06:11] <friedtofu> but it kept blinking every 3 seconds... so i just turned it off
[06:11] <flinttown420> k those lights are just annoying
[06:13] <K-Rich> Can anyone help me, i'm using Gutsy and when i go into my Pictures folder (which is full of jpegs) and search for jpg, nothin happens, whenever i search for anything nothing shows, even when i know the file is there... any ideas?
[06:15] <friedtofu> k-rich - do you have "tracker" enabled?
[06:16] <K-Rich> yes
[06:16] <K-Rich> it works fin with other users
[06:16] <K-Rich> fine
[06:16] <friedtofu> oh
[06:16] <ashishmohansriva> how can I connect printer that required windows user name and password for printing?
[06:16] <friedtofu> i dont ever use the search feature... :/ so meh
[06:17] <K-Rich> i can search fine from Places>Search for files
[06:17] <tcpdumpgod> K-Rich, where are the pictures.
[06:17] <tcpdumpgod> In what folder?
[06:18] <tcpdumpgod> /home/yourusername/Pictures ?
[06:18] <K-Rich> ~/Pictures
[06:18] <tcpdumpgod> Do you own the files?
[06:18] <K-Rich> i think it's something to do with tracker from what i read online
[06:18] <tcpdumpgod> What are you using to search?
[06:18] <K-Rich> yes
[06:18] <tcpdumpgod> No
[06:18] <tcpdumpgod> What are you using to search?
[06:18] <K-Rich> nautilus
[06:18] <tcpdumpgod> hold
[06:18] <K-Rich> ok
[06:19] <sjovan> k-rich: do a sudo slocate -u
[06:19] <tcpdumpgod> hmm.
[06:20] <tcpdumpgod> sjovan, nautilus uses Berkley DB for searches?
[06:20] <K-Rich> sjovan: running, seems to be taking a while
[06:20] <sjovan> mhmj
[06:20] <sjovan> you are updating the locate database
[06:20] <K-Rich> okay
[06:21] <tcpdumpgod> sjovan, "sudo updatedb" works too.
[06:21] <sjovan> in the future just do locate <name of something> | grep *.jpeg for instance
[06:21] <fudus3> how to stop windows from snapping to the edge of the desktop?
[06:21] <cellofellow> there's a nice little app called Catfish that is a GUI frontend to Find, Locate, and Tracker.
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> K-Rich, thats another way to search ... i'm not sure about the way nautilus searches...
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> catfish eh.
[06:22] <fudus3> or allow the title bar to go beyond the desktop
[06:22] <fudus3> it is very annoying
[06:22]  * tcpdumpgod blinks
[06:22] <cellofellow> Just use the included Tracker search tool.
[06:22] <chris___> hi
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> high-freq,
[06:22] <chris___> is there some general FAQ or "official" ubuntu page about webcams and getting them setup for taking pictures?
[06:22] <fudus3> titlebar isn't permitted to go above the top of the screen
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> hi chris___
[06:22] <sjovan> fudus3: do you use compiz?
[06:22] <fudus3> wastes space
[06:23] <fudus3> no
[06:23] <K-Rich> well, Applications>Accessoris>Tracker Search Tool  wasn't working either
[06:23] <chris___> (before i go ahead and try all these (various) ways of getting webcams to work)
[06:23] <sjovan> K-Rich: locate is prob the fastest way to search any way...
[06:23] <tcpdumpgod> cool program cellofellow ! Thanks for turning me onto it!
[06:23] <levander> Anybody remember how to set the necessary password so Windows users can access your Samba shares?
[06:23] <tcpdumpgod> K-Rich, install the package "catfish"... it'd be good for you
[06:23] <cellofellow> levander: smbpasswd?
[06:23] <illabled> can someone explain ndiswrapper to me?
[06:23] <levander> what is the name of cellofellow's program? i just got here
[06:24] <K-Rich> so there is no way to fix this so i can search with Nautilus ?
[06:24] <cellofellow> catfish, a search-tool frontend.
[06:24] <levander> cellofellow: yeah, but i forget the syntax, it was on some obscure wiki.ubuntu.com page... i hate how sloppy that web site is, now i can't find it
[06:24] <sjovan> illabled: ndiswrapper is a prog that you can use to get windows drivers to work in linux. man ndiswrapper has all the info you need
[06:24] <Blown-Upp> I'm having instalation issues: When XP reboots after doing the wubi.exe on the Ubuntu 8.04 i386 CD, I choose normal install and it brings me to a busybox screen
[06:24] <Blown-Upp> and does nothing
[06:24] <illabled> thx
[06:24] <tcpdumpgod> cellofellow, do you know of a grep front end like that?
[06:25] <Blown-Upp> oh
[06:25] <Blown-Upp> wrong channel
[06:25] <cellofellow> tcpdumpgod: that'd be useful. Nope, sorry.
[06:25] <tcpdumpgod> Dang :)
[06:25] <tcpdumpgod> Thanks anyway
[06:28] <cellofellow> tcpdumpgod: http://software.twotoasts.de/ is the website for the development of catfish. Hehe, I remember helping this guy come up with the name. He might be able to implement a grep thing.
[06:28] <tcpdumpgod> Cool, i'll drop him a line :)
[06:31] <alecwh> What is the bash command to make my system make a beep noise (to test my audio)?
[06:31] <Svenstaro> alecwh, thats beep but it only tests the pc beeper, not speaker
[06:32] <sjovan> alecwh: how about just try running some pr0n or something...
[06:32] <alecwh> My applications all tell me that the audio device is busy. >_>
[06:32] <lymeca> Are there any free software applications that can do TTS?
[06:33] <yacc> TTS?
[06:33] <tcpdumpgod> cellofellow, what is Catfish written in?
[06:34] <yacc> tcpdumpgod: packages.ubuntu.com suggests python
[06:34] <tcpdumpgod> Ah, thanks.
[06:34] <friedtofu> hm... dont know which backend i should use for catfish..
[06:35] <Chris|> i always liked beagle-search
[06:35] <tcpdumpgod> yacc, I guess PyGTK?
[06:35] <tcpdumpgod> beagle-search likes to reindex too much.
[06:35] <yacc> tcpdumpgod: yeah, python with the GTK bindings.
[06:35] <tcpdumpgod> Word... hey... whats the difference inbetween locate and slocate?
[06:36] <friedtofu> hm.. how about slocate?
[06:36] <tcpdumpgod> friedtofu, use "find" or "slocate"
[06:36] <friedtofu> findutils ?
[06:36] <tcpdumpgod> slocate is quicker but has to be indexed if you add something to the machine.
[06:37] <donkey7186> can someone help me with some issues with sound on a toshiba satellite m55 s135
[06:37] <tcpdumpgod> yes friedtofu
[06:37] <friedtofu> k. went with that
[06:37] <friedtofu> doubt that i'll ever use it.. but its just there.. heh
[06:37] <tcpdumpgod> donkey7186, what issues?
[06:37] <tcpdumpgod> Yeah, i use locate a lot.
[06:38] <donkey7186> ok well my sounds isnt working when my laptop lid is open but when i close the lid the sound works
[06:38] <tcpdumpgod> and find also, it'll be nice to have a front end to play with.
[06:38] <Nasra> hi, Can any1 tell me how can I share my internet connections..with remote desktop?
[06:38] <tcpdumpgod> donkey7186, what is your model number again?
[06:38] <donkey7186> m55 s135
[06:39] <cellofellow> tcpdumpgod: sorry catfish is written in PyGTK.
[06:39] <tcpdumpgod> okay its a Toshiba Satellite M55-S135
[06:39] <cellofellow> tcpdumpgod: and I forgot it supports Beagle in addition to the other engines I mentioned.
[06:39] <tcpdumpgod> Cool cellofellow... im trying to get into programming... i guess I found my 1st project.
[06:39] <tcpdumpgod> :)
[06:40] <tcpdumpgod> yeah, im looking @ catfish.py at the supported search engines section.
[06:40] <donkey7186> Yes its toshiba satellite m55 s135
[06:40] <tcpdumpgod> It supports 'find', 'locate', 'slocate', 'tracker-search', 'beagle-query'
[06:40] <phuzion> Anyone here done the Photoshop CS3 in Wine thing yet?  I'm trying, and failing miserably, it says I need XP Service Pack 2
[06:41] <tcpdumpgod> donkey7186, start here: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=38439619
[06:42] <sjovan> phuzion: check if crossover office suports PS CS3. If it does... download it :)
[06:42] <friedtofu> apparently photoshop CS and CS2 are working better in wine from what i read in their logs
[06:43] <phuzion> Well, wine 0.98 or whatever the .98 version is can now support CS3 fully, from what I understand
[06:43] <donkey7186> i couldnt find much there :(
[06:43] <phuzion> so I was wondering if anyone had tried it yet and had any suggestions
[06:44] <friedtofu> yeah.. i was looking at this http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584 maybe it'll help you
[06:44] <sjovan> phuzion: but you can't get it to work, derfor i recomended you a realy easy prog to use. check if it suports cs3...

[06:55] <c0Ld> When partitioning using 7.10's installer, the first option to resize my original partition allows me to make it smaller then what's used...is it just not scanning it right, or could this be a sign of problems to come if I don't partition using something else?
[06:55] <tcpdumpgod> c0Ld, ...
[06:56] <tcpdumpgod> I dont understand.
[06:56] <tcpdumpgod> If you have a 100GB drive and 50GB is used.
[06:56] <tcpdumpgod> it'll allow you to make it _ _ _ _ _ ?

[07:03] <seamus7> vega--: are you using Evolution?
[07:04] <ethan961> !hardy
[07:04] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[07:04] <vega--> seamus7: as my mua? not really, thunderbird
[07:05] <vega--> seamus7: do i have to set it in evolution?
[07:05] <seamus7> vega--: I mean when you say Gnome Calendar. Is that Evolution?
[07:05] <vega--> seamus7: no, just the default thingy up in the right corner :)
[07:05] <seamus7> vega--: or are you talking about the little applet that pops out when you click on the time? oh ok.
[07:05] <vega--> seamus7: yes
[07:06] <seamus7> vega--: that is linked to Evolution so I would try changing how the calendar is displayed within Evolution and see if that changes the calendar applet..
[07:07] <seamus7> vega--: I have Evolution import my appointments from Google Calendar .. and they get displayed on that calendar applet you mentioned ... pretty sweet!
[07:08] <vega--> seamus7: yep, been thinking about the same thing.. google cal is also syncable to your mobile
[07:09] <seamus7> vega--: nice

[07:14] <jim82_z> i only got howtos on edgy or dapper.. :(
[07:14] <r00tintheb0x> kditty, you need to install libk3b2-mp3
[07:14] <Bisclaveret> also, find frequently doesn't work for me on a lot of my searches
[07:14] <kditty_> You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to the K3b project.

[07:16] <akaineko> greetings
[07:17] <akaineko> did anyone used thing called "CDemu" ?
[07:17] <bod_> mrynit, is that the only error u get when running xchat from terminal?
[07:17] <Bisclaveret> like, if i do a find -iname "filename" i frequently don't get anything or i get something like "./abiword - permission denied" as the only results
[07:18] <mrynit> bod_: yes that is the only error from terminal. if i run it from GUI it starts the automaticly quits
[07:18] <jim82_z> i am having brezzy ed. can anyone help me how to enable writing on ntfs usb hdd ?
[07:18] <bod_> mrynit, ok, try     sudo apt-get purge xchat && sudo apt-get install xchat
[07:19] <Abagael> hello, how do I download an ubuntu program in windows so as to install it in Ubuntu later
[07:19] <mrynit> && is a command line operator?
[07:19] <bod_> yes, it means if the previous command works then run the next command
[07:19] <gawwdotnet> && is continue if the last statement was okay
[07:20] <bod_> Abagael, just find the .deb file and save it to disk
[07:20] <mrynit> i saw putting a & at the end of a command for a graphical application lets you use the same terminal window
[07:20] <Abagael> where do I search for it?
[07:20] <bod_> mrynit, yes
[07:20] <droberts> how can i launch GUI applications on a computer i'm sshed into? i thought setting $DISPLAY to 0:0.0 would work but it hasnt
[07:20] <bod_> Abagael, well it would depend, usually the developers website
[07:20] <Abagael> bod_: I need wine
[07:20] <mrynit> bod_: if i do locate xchat i still have files
[07:21] <bod_> mrynit, after running that command?
[07:21] <mrynit> i just did purge only
[07:21] <bod_> mrynit, ok try     sudo apt-get remove xchat --purge
[07:21] <Abagael> is wine HQ different?
[07:22] <bod_> Abagael, new and old,.,. winehq website is where ul find the latest wine

[07:23] <Abagael> how do I dl this - udo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[07:23] <[[thufir]]> I plan on removing quite a few packages.  Is there a linux equivalent to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_restore ?
[07:24] <bod_> Abagael, that will just add a winehq repo into ur sources.list
[07:24] <bod_> Abagael, il try and find the deb downlaod
[07:24] <mrynit> bod_: these are the files i still have on my computer http://slexy.org/view/s2fUbIuvLW
[07:25] <mrynit> bod_: i did remove but it said it was already gone. so i did autoremove. still have files left over.
[07:25] <bod_> mrynit, no thats something else,. run this        xchat-gnome
[07:26] <Abagael> bod_: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html - is that it?
[07:26] <mrynit> ?
[07:26] <bod_> Abagael, yep,. thats them ;~)
[07:26] <mrynit> oh i think i mixed files. xhcat/gnome xchat

[07:26] <bod_> mrynit, just run     xchat-gnome              theres two different types of xchat
[07:26] <bod_> ;~)
[07:27] <mrynit> bod_: im in gnome but is there a reason to run "gnome" xchat?
[07:27] <[[thufir]]> what happens if I inadvertently remove the networking packages?  I had to re-install :(
[07:27] <chx> hi. I got my HSDPA connection working and as it was rather hard I posted it to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4595375#post4595375 . Is there anything else I need to post here or this is understandable?
[07:28] <bod_> mrynit, nope,.,. gnome-xchat is the xchat that gets installed on livecd    ,.,. im not sure why
[07:28] <bod_> [[thufir]], u probably lose a network
[07:28] <mrynit> im on desktop and would like a working xchat...
[07:28] <[[thufir]]> bod_: no "system restore"?
[07:29] <bod_> mrynit, yeah i know,. so remove the xchat-gnome with     sudo apt-get purge gnome-xchat
[07:29] <Abagael> how do I make ubuntu windows look like in classic windows theme?
[07:29] <bod_> [[thufir]], not sure,.,. sorry,.,. it should be posssible to recover them unless u did something like rm -rf
[07:29] <bod_> Abagael, strange why u would ask how to make ubuntu look like windows
[07:30] <ryan-c> I just had to use debugfs from a boot disk to delete a file on my system :(
[07:30] <mrynit> bod_: xchat-gnome is not installed it says. cant remove
[07:30] <[[thufir]]> how would I recover them if the "internet" is lost?  catch-22.  (I plan on uninstalling lotsa stuff, but last time overdid it and had to re-install).
[07:30] <bod_> mrynit, ok, dont worry about those packages then,.,. now try     sudo apt-get install xchat
[07:30] <Abagael> I just want to remove all theming also disable the special effects
[07:31] <mrynit> bod_: i dont think that will work...
[07:31] <bod_> Abagael, System-->Preferences-->Appearence
[07:31] <Abagael> is there a guide on tweaking Ubuntu?
[07:31] <bod_> mrynit, u wont know till we try ;~)
[07:31] <UBUNTUJAY123> hi all sup
[07:31] <intravenous> not much
[07:31] <bod_> Abagael, loads infact theres a program called ubuntu tweak
[07:31] <Abagael> bod_: is that for Gnome?
[07:31] <bod_> !hi | UBUNTUJAY123
[07:31] <ubotu> UBUNTUJAY123: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:31] <bod_> Abagael, yep
[07:31] <Abagael> I have KDE
[07:31] <UBUNTUJAY123> iam haveing high cpu spiks what could be wrong
[07:31] <intravenous> damn, you guys are creepily welcoming
[07:32] <bod_> Abagael, im sure it will work with kde aswell
[07:32] <vega--> seamus7: does the calendar need to be shared in google somehow? evolution just keeps asking for the google password over and over (and i know the password is ok) ?
[07:32] <Abagael> ok
[07:32] <Abagael> thanks
[07:32] <bod_> ;~)
[07:32] <tcpdumpgod> vega--, what passwd is it asking for?
[07:33] <UBUNTUJAY123> i have a 512 ram 40 gb hd 2.0 cpu intel p4
[07:33] <vega--> tcpdumpgod: the google cal password, trying to sync google calendar with evolution
[07:33] <mrynit> bod_: sudo apt-get purge gnome-xchat
[07:33] <seamus7> vega--: you need to use the private xml feed of your google calendar in evolution ...
[07:33] <mrynit> bod_: sry i ment: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[07:33] <tcpdumpgod> vega--, i've never been able to get that to work.
[07:33] <tcpdumpgod> Does the same to me.
[07:33] <vega--> seamus7: ah, i see, ok
[07:34] <bod_> mrynit, really,. cool,. how strange,.,. try installing    xchat-gnome
[07:34] <mrynit> >.>

[07:35] <bod_> UBUNTUJAY123, are you running the firefox 3 beta?
[07:35] <Abagael> bod_: I still didn't understand how to disable themes. In windows you could just pick the classic theme and all fancy stuff would go.
[07:36] <seamus7> vega--: not as far as I'm aware.
[07:36] <UBUNTUJAY123> but i dont see how i have it open right now this chat open listen to a cd and downloading music
[07:36] <UBUNTUJAY123> it just does it everyonce in a while
[07:36] <bod_> Abagael, if you disable themes the all colour will go you can remove desktop affects in the apperance window customize tab i think its called
[07:36] <UBUNTUJAY123> but when it does it like frezzes my pc for a few sec.

[07:37] <mrynit> no one in #xchat is active
[07:37] <pinky_linda> halooo
[07:37] <bod_> damn
[07:38] <seamus7> vega--: it might be the ical rather than the xml private feed .. can't remember ...i do notice that evolution automatically changes the url to a webcal: address ... it works for me ... one way
[07:38] <AnRkey> mrynit, try deleting the ~/.xchat2 directory
[07:38] <bod_> Abagael, System--Preferences-->Appearence-->'Visual effects' tab to disable desktop effects and 'Theme' tab for changing theme
[07:38]  * UBUNTUJAY123 sits and reads everything
[07:39] <AnRkey> mrynit, also sudo apt-get remove xchat --purge

[07:39] <bod_> Abagael, oh dman yeah,.,. erm,. i dont know much about kde,. someone here might and someone in #kubuntu will know

[07:57] <bod_> !info asspell
[07:57] <UBUNTUJAY123> i need help add server to this xchat
[07:57] <seamus7> swam: isn't aspell just the spelling program for pidgin in windows?
[07:58] <UBUNTUJAY123> i want ot add frostwire server chat.peercommons.net /6667
[07:58] <bod_> UBUNTUJAY123, Xchat-->new-->Server tab    then click on tab then -->Server-->Connect
[07:58] <swam> anyone know how to get it to work with firefox?
[07:59] <slashjamiec> doesn't xchat just pickup irc:// syntax as the default app?
[07:59] <woo_> would anyone be able to help me.  I have just installed ubuntu 7.10 and the drivers for my NVidia card but my computer still feels really sluggish. The computer has 512 RAM it says there is only 386 available, could this be the problem?
[07:59] <UBUNTUJAY123> thta dont work
[08:00] <slashjamiec> ok
[08:00] <bod_> UBUN
[08:00] <slashjamiec> woo_, i had a linux pc with 512 ram
[08:00] <bod_> UBUNTUJAY123, why not?
[08:00] <BankHead> unsure
[08:00] <ArmedKing> hey all i'm aware ext3 fs doesnt fragment a lot. but is there a way to see the fragmentation rate of a ext3 file system?
[08:00] <UBUNTUJAY123> i went to Xchat
[08:00] <UBUNTUJAY123> then server
[08:00] <slashjamiec> You'll need to edit a configuration file so you don't have so many user pipes running
[08:00] <devilsadvocate> woo_, can you check if your swap space is mounted?
[08:00] <Linux_Fresher> funny things keep happening to me in linux =/
[08:00] <UBUNTUJAY123> tab
[08:01] <slashjamiec> Google should be able to help you out with this.
[08:01] <UBUNTUJAY123> and theres nothing there
[08:01] <bod_> ArmedKing, ext3 doesnt fragment almost at all unless the disk is over 95% full
[08:01] <UBUNTUJAY123> empty
[08:01] <devilsadvocate> woo_, run "top" and see if swap is non-zero, and also check the ram there
[08:01] <woo_> top
[08:01] <woo_> ok i will
[08:01] <UBUNTUJAY123> this is how iam trying to add the server
[08:01] <goob> no i don't see any config file in the second life folder
[08:01] <Starnestommy> UBUNTUJAY123: try adding it as chat.peercommons.net
[08:01] <Starnestommy> without the 6667 part
[08:01] <bod_> UBUNTUJAY123, press   ctrl+T   a new thing should come up on the left hand side
[08:02] <ArmedKing> bod_, The disk has been full 98% for a month now. just cleaned it up to 80%. It's a Data only disk no OS installed on it.
[08:02] <slashjamiec> Wow it looks like it could rain here!
[08:02] <woo_> devilsadvocate :Swap:   859436k total,   184572k used,   674864k free,    77620k cached
[08:02] <woo_> thats what I have there
[08:02] <devilsadvocate> woo_, cpu usage?
[08:02] <bod_> ArmedKing, im not sure of a proram to check fragmentation, but it shouldnt matter if theres no OS
[08:03] <Linux_Fresher> Q: please elaborate on this .. this hdb is nicely usable and visible through windows xp, its fat32 partition --->  http://pastebin.com/m231742d8
[08:03] <woo_> Cpu(s): 19.9%us,  4.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 74.1%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  2.0%si,  0.0%st
[08:03] <UBUNTUJAY123> i go to network list
[08:03] <ArmedKing> bod_, Oke thanks m8 ;-) i'll take ya word on it :D
[08:03] <bod_> ;~)
[08:03] <devilsadvocate> woo_, it looks ok to me :\ whats the load average like
[08:03] <UBUNTUJAY123> and in networks i try to add it
[08:03] <Linux_Fresher> ArmedKing: yeah if there is no os and u just want to be re sure, if no data there too, then reformat it to ext3
[08:03] <woo_> load average: 1.18, 0.70, 0.86
[08:03] <slashjamiec> It's definately a RAM issue.
[08:03] <UBUNTUJAY123> when i go to edit it and put in chat.peercommons.net
[08:03] <Linux_Fresher> anyone wants to tell me why hdb has issues?
[08:04] <UBUNTUJAY123> newserver/6667
[08:04] <UBUNTUJAY123> it stay at newserver/6667 will not chat to chat.peercommons.net
[08:04] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, because ur ubuntu does not know of the label hdb    is the fat32 a 80gig or 40 gig ?
[08:04] <devilsadvocate> woo_, its a wee bit on the high side for an idle computer, but not terribly so. you should not feel it to be sluggish. do you have a lot of disk activity? some sort of high speed file transfer or something?
[08:04] <goob> how do i pastebin?
[08:05] <bod_> !paste
[08:05] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[08:05] <slashjamiec> test
[08:05] <tcpdumpgod> test
[08:05] <Starnestommy> UBUNTUJAY123: hit enter after putting it in
[08:05] <bod_> test succeeded
[08:05] <woo_> no not much disk activity, it just feels really slow to swtich between programs
[08:05] <UBUNTUJAY123> i did
[08:05] <Linux_Fresher> aww =/ i feel ignored !!
[08:06] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, is ur fat32 disk 40gig or 80gig?
[08:06] <woo_> and firefox is really slow to draw pages once you scroll down or up
[08:06] <devilsadvocate> hm, are you sure you dont have deskop effects enabled with a long animation cycle or something - thats what ive had happen to me before
[08:06] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  its 40 gig fat32 .. it doesnt have ubuntu on it .. its just a movie storage disk
[08:06] <Wiseguy> hey guys i just installed truecrypt via the .deb from the website, but there was no entry added in my applications menu... is there anyway to forcefully add it to the menu?
[08:06] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  the thing is its accessible without any issues in xp
[08:06] <slashjamiec> woo_), i know this could be irrelevant, but what desktop manager are you running?
[08:06] <devilsadvocate> i've use *buntu on a 800 mhz laptop with 384 gigs of ram. it was a bit sluggish, but not terribly slow
[08:07] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, ok, u called it /dev/hdb  in fact u want to call it /dev/hda5
[08:07] <damo22> devilsadvocate: xubuntu would work faster
[08:07] <slashjamiec> woo_), i know this could be irrelevant, but what desktop manager are you running?
[08:07] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:   yeah !! my bad soz
[08:08] <woo_> im using that AWN desktop manager
[08:08] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  hdb is dvd drive, soz
[08:08] <slashjamiec> oh
[08:08] <devilsadvocate> damo22,  i know. didnt really like the xubuntu xfce though. eventually moved to vector linux and then ubuntu with fluxbox
[08:08] <akaineko> what is the default folder for things i install ?
[08:08] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  the Q remains though .. why the label is messed up ? i am on live cd so i havent touched fstab yet
[08:08] <woo_> but it still felt slow before i installed that.
[08:09] <slashjamiec> haven't considered using xfce4 or fluxbox?
[08:09] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, in terminal type    id look at mounting it   im not certain about the mount command but i think it will be something like      mount /media/disk /dev/hda5
[08:09] <woo_> ohh yeah and I have that compiz thing installed
[08:09] <woo_> would that be it?
[08:09] <Gopher99> if i'm on a dualboot macbookpro,(osx/ win xp) through BootCamp, would installing ubuntu on it(tri-boot) rid of BootCamp's control?
[08:09] <bod_> woo_, not unless u have custom effects enabled
[08:09] <devilsadvocate> woo_, disable compiz temporarily, see if the improvement is very significant
[08:10] <slashjamiec> woo_ no that should be fine
[08:10] <bod_> Gopher99, yes, unless u skip the grub installer
[08:10] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  i can even mount it, but it wont show the data inside , keeps saying permission denied
[08:10] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, ok have u got it mounted now?
[08:10] <devilsadvocate> Linux_Fresher, you need to mount with the allow-other option
[08:11] <slashjamiec> I haven't used linux for years, but when i did install ubuntu, mine was sluggish on a system identical to yours. And there was an excellent article to rip most of the shit out of it to make it faster
[08:11] <Gopher99> bod_: if i skipped the grub installer, do you know if the BootCamp app would add the ubuntu distro into the options? (I know this probably isnt your area of expertise)
[08:11] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, listen to devilsadvocate ;~)
[08:12] <bod_> Gopher99, i doubt it,.,. but u could add it by hand,. or just allow ubuntu to install grub and let it use that
[08:12] <devilsadvocate> Linux_Fresher, you are on the live cd or have you installed?
[08:12] <bod_> cd devil
[08:12] <Linux_Fresher> devilsadvocate:  i am on live cd atm, came here to use gparted
[08:13] <devilsadvocate> Linux_Fresher, could you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[08:13] <vivi_sma> aq g mudeng
[08:13] <bod_> devilsadvocate, his output is here -- http://pastebin.com/m231742d8
[08:14] <devilsadvocate> ok, you are supposed to have a 40 gig fat32 partition?
[08:14] <trippss> anyone recommend a good sysex program for ubuntu (dumps system exclusive midi data from external devices)?
[08:15] <devilsadvocate> Linux_Fresher, it looks to me that the partition you are looking for is hda1 :|
[08:16] <Wiseguy> hey guys i just installed truecrypt via the .deb from the website, but there was no entry added in my applications menu... is there anyway to forcefully add it to the menu?
[08:17] <bod_> Wiseguy, right click on the word applications,. then edit menus
[08:17] <Linux_Fresher> devilsadvocate: umm .. u r not getting the point .. even as root, hda5 gets permission denied error
[08:17] <Tarkus> anyone know of a website to discuss opensource in general and concepts/ideas, and just share views, etc..
[08:17] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, its not hda5 i got it wrong its hda1
[08:17] <melly> alo
[08:17] <bod_> alo
[08:18] <devilsadvocate> Linux_Fresher, ok. but keep in mind that hda5 seems to be a rather small partition
[08:18] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  hmm its cool .. i will figure it out =)  will be back here if i get stuck
[08:18] <devilsadvocate> if you have it mounted now, then please pastebin the output of "mount"
[08:19] <bod_> im off,. cya guys
[08:19] <devilsadvocate> Linux_Fresher, if you have installed ubuntu, in all probability it would have automounted it in one of the folders in /media
[08:19] <ronandi> Tarkus: programming channels, specific programming language forums (ie sun java forums), pixel2life forums
[08:20] <slashjamiec> cya bod_!
[08:20] <melly> alo
[08:20] <slashjamiec> hey melly
[08:20] <slashjamiec> how's things?
[08:20] <bod_> ;~)

[08:25] <peter77> on boot my laptop (toshiba satellite pro a120) displays like a boot device chooser for 2 secs, for some reason due to reinstalling ubuntu or resetting the bios it now goes a bit faulty and stays on screen when grub starts (like an image blocking me from seeing the grub options)

[08:30] <devilsadvocate> Dam778, which card?
[08:31] <devilsadvocate> onefunk, you will have to change something in /etc/fstab . sorry i dont know the details :P
[08:31] <Dam778> I found the driver earlier but I forgot how
[08:31] <peter77> DistroJockey, I've looked in the bios and couldn't find an option however I remember fixing this problem before, just unsure how as was a year ago
[08:31] <Dam778> cisco something
[08:31] <devilsadvocate> Dam778, for most cards you dont need a driver .. most are built into the kernel
[08:31] <arreis> hello all, forgive me for asking this, but this is one of the first times i use linux, i want to make an iso file from 2 folders

[08:48] <damo22> pranith: your video card is crap built into m/b VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter
[08:48] <pranith> damo22, :) i know that
[08:48] <ghost> hey guys i could use some help
[08:48] <pranith> damo22, but it is no reason for the video to fail like this...
[08:48]  * delcoyote hi
[08:48] <ghost> i borked my install the other day
[08:48] <damo22> pranith: thats why youre getting crappy video playing
[08:48] <ghost> so now i need to format and reinstall
[08:48] <pranith> damo22, dapper worked fine for me all the time
[08:48] <ghost> problem is, i have no friggin disks
[08:48] <ghost> and no burners
[08:49] <pranith> damo22, dapper worked fine.. there were no problems like this
[08:49] <ghost> but i do have USB keys
[08:49] <pranith> damo22, may be this is a bug in xserver? or mplayer?
[08:49] <damo22> pranith: save yourself some trouble and buy a $40 nvidia 3d card
[08:49] <ghost> (i have older copys of ubuntu and other distos but my 1440x900 monitor gives xorg a heart attack for these installers
[08:49] <pranith> damo22, that is not an option right now im afraid
[08:49] <pranith> :(
[08:50] <ghost> so, is there a ultra small ubuntu distro that I can throw on a usb key, install, then apt-get install everything else?
[08:50] <damo22> pranith: sorry thats all i can suggest at this stage
[08:50] <friedtofu> you could go debian based - which would be damnsmalllinux
[08:50] <pranith> damo22, thank you
[08:50] <friedtofu> maybe theres a ubuntu core iso that you can do that too...
[08:51] <Svenstaro> ghost, ubuntu fits on an usb key
[08:51] <ghost> which package
[08:51] <ghost> because the DVD iso dag sure don't
[08:51] <ghost> :)
[08:51] <Svenstaro> ghost, not a package, google is your friend as long as your key is bigger than 512mb
[08:51] <damo22> ghost: the standard x86 desktop one
[08:53] <damo22> ghost: i think you'll need syslinux or something to make the key boot the iso
[08:53] <ghost> man i don't feel like dealing with this crap all night
[08:53] <ghost> :(
[08:53] <ghost> kay ill look for usb sized distros
[08:54] <DistroJockey> ghost: This is a good guide:  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[08:54] <damo22> ghost: the easiest solution is buy a blank cd and burn the iso... it works for bios that dont have usb boot option
[08:54] <DistroJockey> ghost: accept it says burn the iso :(
[08:54] <ghost> damo22, if i had a computer that i could burn the iso with i wouldn't need a usb drive method ")
[08:55] <ghost> im just firggin astonished that ALL my disks are not working
[08:55] <ghost> for stupid reasons
[08:55] <ghost> bah ill just get this 6.10 working, i don't need x.

[09:02] <tarelerulz> I am  is there any linux client that can talk to gtalk with voice ?
[09:03] <DistroJockey> ghost:  expert   at the boot: prompt?
[09:03] <archman> damo22: and then merge two ext3's ?
[09:03] <ghost> expert? thank you
[09:03] <damo22> archman: then you can mount it as /downloads or something
[09:03] <DistroJockey> ghost: np
[09:04] <ghost> er maybe if i launch it at a lower rez
[09:04] <ghost> problem is my particular monitor has a non standard monitor ratio
[09:04] <archman> damo22: yeah, but it's a bit complicated, i have grub loader; i don't want to mess with it...
[09:04] <ghost> throws off a lot of installers
[09:04] <DistroJockey> ghost: *nods*
[09:04] <ghost> latest ubuntu handles it, but i don't remember all the paramaters to make it work
[09:05] <ghost> however a working system with no X can be updated'
[09:05] <damo22> archman: its pretty simple... wipe the xp partition and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove xp from there
[09:05] <DistroJockey> ghost: indeed :)
[09:05] <ghost> hrm
[09:05] <ghost> this kde boot disk, when its done, just comes to a terminal prompt
[09:06] <damo22> archman: then all you need to do is edit /etc/fstab and add the new mountpoint for the new ext3 partition
[09:06] <friedtofu> archman: do you use archlinux? haha - anyways. what damo22 said - you can wipe it easily with gparted
[09:06] <archman> ok, thanks; but i somehow find it easier to wipe it all of...
[09:07] <archman> but that's the n00b mind
[09:07] <archman> :-D
[09:07] <friedtofu> yeah :/ sadly unless you merge it, you'll just have space of whatever you allotted the ntfs partition...
[09:08] <madmanwoo> hey all, I just turn off desktop effect temporally but now if I try and turn them back on it just says "Can not enable Visual effects" or somthing like that.
[09:08] <archman> friedtofu: yeah, i need it merged...
