[16:00] <Gun_Smoke>  Can a mac be partitioned for dual boot the same way a windows machine would be?  From the installer?
[16:00] <Threethan> Err.. My router is from a long time before I got my modem. I don't really recall if my ISP gave me a CD or not.
[16:00] <unop> Gun_Smoke, yes
[16:00] <LjL> !dualboot > Gun_Smoke    (Gun_Smoke, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:00] <vidd> or put a real router between that motorola and your com[puter (like a linksys)
[16:00] <Gun_Smoke> unop, Thanks
[16:00] <saiki> Threethan: busty bibbion? now that's an interesting name lol. as far as your router.. what make is it?
[16:01] <Threethan> It's DSL, that goes to the Zyxel from my ISP to my motorola router.
[16:01] <Gun_Smoke> LjL, thanks
[16:01] <karly> bazhang: sorry about that lol, its xubuntu 8.04 ,checked the media and its ok, I assume (initramfs) is the system booting into RAM instead of the disc?
[16:01] <stefan_> Threethan: A cableconnection if to used for a router i think, and point to point for dsl without router
[16:01] <saiki> Threethan: the modem/router you're trying to configure is?
[16:02] <Threethan> I can't, there's two other people using the connection besides myself.
[16:02] <stefan_> threetthan: itś a littelbit hard to explain, go to ubuntu.com
[16:02] <vidd> Threethan, then simply press and hold the reset button on your router for 3-5 seconds, let it pick up your DSL connection, and you should be good to go
[16:02] <Threethan> It's a motorola wr850g
[16:02] <paolo> !list
[16:02] <stefan_> threethan: you want to connect a second router?
[16:02] <saiki> Threethan: try this url: http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[16:02] <karly> bazhang: any ideas?
[16:02] <saiki> Threethan: try this url: http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[16:02] <saiki> Threethan: try this url: http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[16:02] <saiki> one of those 3
[16:03] <kevinO> why cant i record whats coming out of my speakers?
[16:03] <bazhang> karly, you get the busybox prompt?
[16:03] <saiki> kevinO: why not record it from the soundcard?
[16:03] <karly> bazhang: yea
[16:03] <kevinO> saiki, i dont know how
[16:03] <kevinO> saiki, audacity does not capture the sound
[16:04] <bazhang> karly, did you md5 the iso and burn slow as well as doing the disk integrity check? those are the top three reasons for that iirc
[16:04] <karly> bazhang: when I boot, it gets to the screen where the loading bar bounces from 1 side to the other, stays there for 5 minutes+ then goes to busybox
[16:04] <saiki> kevinO: vlc does
[16:04] <kevinO> saiki, thanks ill check it out
[16:04] <saiki> kevinO: np
[16:04] <karly> bazhang: I am reinstalling the system, the first install worked fine, same disc about a month ago
[16:04] <bazhang> karly, try removing quiet and splash from the kernel parameters in grub and see the exact error message
[16:04] <karly> bazhang: id integrity check, greenlighted
[16:05] <karly> hmm how do you do that?
[16:05] <saiki> bazhang: if I compile idjc from source, will the updater still see updates?
[16:05] <karly> bazhang: I did boot with rescue mode once but nothing really showed there
[16:05] <saiki> bazhang: the idjc in hardy is 3 versions old
[16:06] <bazhang> saiki, this is somehting different from ps2 emulator?
[16:06] <ilembitov> Hi, all. How can I get major updates to Ubuntu without adding Intrepid repos?
[16:06] <drmarwat> hello
[16:07] <{g}> Hey People! After suspend to ram, my trackpad doesnt work any more. Any way to wake it up?
[16:07] <bazhang> karly, you know the grub countdown? you need to hit esc before it expires then hit e to edit and scroll to the bottom and delete quiet and splash to see all the lines of text
[16:07] <karly> bazhang: ok 1sec
[16:07] <bazhang> ilembitov, intrepid is not out for two months from now
[16:07] <drmarwat> how do i know that if my system is hardy or previous version? is there any command for that?
[16:08] <wols_> !version
[16:08] <bazhang> ilembitov, you can use proposed repos, though that is at your own risk when it breaks
[16:08] <drmarwat> wols_: thanks
[16:08] <agent> when booting, grub mistakes what partition it needs to look into for /boot, but inside ubuntu grub identifies the correct partition. what could be the problem?
[16:08] <ilembitov> bazhang: They aren't even as up2date as Debian testing (although Lenny freeze was long ago) either
[16:08] <kevinO> saiki, how do i select the soudcard for record?
[16:08] <bazhang> agent, you switched them?
[16:08] <karly> bazhang: it didn't have splash there, I took out quiet but it does still show the splash
[16:08] <wols_> agent: reinstall grub
[16:09] <agent> wols_, tried it many times already :(
[16:09] <wols_> agent: then do it right for once
[16:09] <drmarwat> wols_: im looking for official repositories list, is it available?
[16:09] <bazhang> drmarwat, for hardy?
[16:10] <wols_> drmarwat: settings in synaptic
[16:10] <drmarwat> bazhang: yes becuase the one already enabled are slow
[16:10] <bazhang> drmarwat, check software sources find fastest server
[16:11] <user01> is there a channel for xetex?
[16:11] <bazhang> !channels | user01
[16:11] <bazhang> user01, check last link
[16:12] <Aquahallic> Mornin' folks
[16:12] <saiki> how does one make a zip/tar/rar a .deb?
[16:12] <Aquahallic> what's the name of the ATI opensource driver for a radeon 9600
[16:12] <agent> bazilek, i did not switch them... problem is, when grub is run at boot, it has the drives mixed up... in ubuntu it figures them out correctly, and it is also correct in menu.lst and device.map
[16:12] <wols_> agent: ati
[16:12] <wols_> Aquahallic: ati
[16:12] <karly> bazhang: I can't get the splash to go away
[16:12] <wols_> !errors | agent
[16:13] <Aquahallic> in synaptic... if I search ATI.. I get a bazillion hits
[16:13] <AT2SmithJason> Good morning from Seattle
[16:13] <wols_> Aquahallic: the drivers are already installed. no need for synaptic
[16:13] <Threethan> Saiki: None of the links work.
[16:13] <Aquahallic> well.. I been messing around with fglrx and just can't get it to work properly
[16:13] <wols_> Threethan: what is your local IP? check with /sbin/ifconfig
[16:13] <_jason> !packaging | saiki
[16:14] <Aquahallic> is there a way for me to purge all video drivers I have installed and then reinstall just the opensource?
[16:14] <bazhang> karly, try adding nosplash
[16:14] <Threethan> I'm dual booting, so I can't check that out. Give me a couple of minutes, and I'll grab my wife's laptop to be able to do it.
[16:14] <wols_> Aquahallic: the opensource ones are ALWAYS installed. and it depends how you installed the fglrx versions
[16:14] <wols_> Threethan: ipconfig.
[16:15] <saiki> Threethan: try .<IP_ADDRESS> then last idea I have
[16:15] <karly> bazhang: is there a way to save it? I have beemn just hitting b on one of the selections in there
[16:15] <quietus> Anyone know of a way to script something in fstab to mount all folders excluding ones preceded by a . on a ntfs partition giving ownership of each mount, to the user with the same name as the folder being mounted, for use of making a ntfs home directory
[16:15] <G7OAH> Any VMWare fans out there?
[16:15] <wols_> saiki: stop that. find out first what he uses. what his default route is, etc
[16:15] <wols_> quietus: you can't do this
[16:16] <quietus> at all, or is there a limiting work around available?
[16:16] <Threethan> Will ipconfig work on my windows partition?
[16:16] <wols_> at all. ntfs doesn't to permissions
[16:16] <wols_> Threethan: it's a windows command, so yes it will
[16:16] <bazhang> http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-how-to-edit-grub-boot-parameters.html karly
[16:16] <LjL> wols_: uh? NTFS doesn't do permissions?
[16:17] <wols_> LjL: not under linux with ntfs3g
[16:17] <Threethan> Meh. It goes so fast. lol
[16:17] <agent> wols_, i get this message from grub after choosing any os option: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41893/
[16:17] <wols_> LjL: which is why you have to hand it ui, gid and umask on mounting
[16:17] <quietus> i know ntfs doesnt do permissions, but i thought the default permissions for the mounted folder could be set at mount time, thus making a script that makes the default permission the name of the folder?
[16:18] <wols_> agent: do you get a grub menu?
[16:18] <Threethan> I do the run: ipconfig and it blasts through it too fast to even look at it.
[16:18] <wols_> Threethan: ipconfig | more
[16:18] <LjL> wols_: ah right, not under linux
[16:18] <billi> hi friends i have a dual boot computer
[16:18] <djamel> billi, congratulations :)
[16:18] <billi> for what
[16:19] <quietus> wols_: i know ntfs doesnt do permissions, but i thought the default permissions for the mounted folder could be set at mount time, thus making a script that makes the default permission the name of the folder?
[16:19] <agent> wols_, yes i do: and the strange part is that menu.lst is correct and so is device.map according to the physical layout and also according to grub (and fdisk) when inside ubuntu
[16:19] <Tobark> Having a db computer
[16:19] <djamel> for the dual boot :)  just ask our question
[16:19] <bobertdos> billi: He's sarcastically asking you to please complete your question on one line.
[16:19] <wols_> agent: pastebin your menu.lst and your partition layout
[16:19] <trontonic> Anyone else have trouble with Intrepid and the latest libc upgrade?
[16:19] <wols_> Threethan: #ubuntu+1. youre OT here
[16:20] <billi> when i do some work on the drive on which i had installed it and reboot to load ubuntu it doesn't load but start with a cammand line interface , lease help???????????
[16:20] <Threethan> OT?
[16:20] <wols_> !errors < billi
[16:20] <wols_> Threethan: off topic
[16:20] <billi> i meam first i work on windows xp
[16:20] <wols_> Threethan: don't bother about other people, bother about your own problem and do what I told you
[16:20] <Threethan> Uhh..?
[16:20] <Threethan> When did I say anything that was off topic?
[16:21] <wols_> Threethan: I asked you something
[16:21] <trontonic> Threethan: OT means off topic. I was off topic too, I think.
[16:21] <saiki> Threethan: you didn't they handle multiple people
[16:21] <Threethan> I'm trying to do it.
[16:21] <Threethan> It's seriously going too fast for me to look at it.
[16:21] <rmaj> I'm looking for an fast to install full solution for very secure (against media/data corruption) storage. Best something that can be easly used INSIDE my desktops (ubuntu,debian; perhaps gentoo) can be via FUSE if needed; But also any other free solution via network server (ie server on say openbsd with access via ftp/ssh to files). What can you reccommend? Curently im looking into btrfs(for linux); and zfs via fuse on linux;
[16:21] <bobertdos> billi: Is it a grub prompt that you arrive at?
[16:21] <wols_> Threethan: and I told you how to slow it down
[16:21] <billi> what to do
[16:21] <Threethan> And I did it. It's still going too fast.
[16:21] <saiki> wols_: point is, I'm trying to help, reguardless there are only 5 ips that routers use that I know about
[16:22] <djamel> billi,  when you say command line, it's after grub ? you arrive on a page that says "login" ?
[16:22] <wols_> saiki: there are 4 BILLION IPs and routers can easily use 16 million+
[16:22] <nikhil> hey
[16:22] <karly> bazhang: after that it hangs on "megaraid: ABORTING-1[7d], fw owner."
[16:22] <billi> no
[16:22] <usser> rmaj, i would advise agains zfs on linux, since its in its early development still
[16:22] <boobek> n
[16:22] <quietus> saiki: im pretty sure they can use anything they want, depends how u configure them
[16:22] <boobek> hi
[16:22] <Leefmc> Question: I am trying to run a XAMPP server but it is being run from the root (/opt/lampp), how can i make the lamp/htdocs directory writable by anyone? So i can FTP Import a website into it
[16:22] <wols_> saiki: which is why you check local IP, subnet and default gateway. then you know what IP to try
[16:22] <Threethan> I'm not trying to be a pain, I want this solved.
[16:22] <Kira> hmm
[16:23] <wols_> Leefmc: we do not support xampp. xampp will break your ubuntu. HARD
[16:23] <rmaj> usser: is there any more mature technoology for my goal?  btrfs seems early too
[16:23] <wols_> Threethan: then do what I asked you
[16:23] <Leefmc> wols_: Eh?
[16:23] <Leefmc> wols_: Why loi
[16:23] <jrib> Threethan: your #ubuntu+1 issues should be discussed in #ubuntu+1.  Incidentally, that channel will be a lot slower, so you can keep up more easily
[16:23] <wols_> Leefmc: xampp is not in ubuntu and breaks it. not supported.
[16:23] <Threethan> I did. Again, and again, and again.
[16:23] <wols_> Threethan: you use intrepid?
[16:23] <Kira> ”export PATH“ does not make the PATH variable survive a system restart, right?
[16:23] <Threethan> How do I know what is an ubuntu+1 question, and what a unbuntu question is.
[16:23] <wols_> Kira: right
[16:23] <Leefmc> wols_: Ubuntu can't handle xampp? What does xampp do thats so anti-ubuntu? I ran it for years on Windows for a local dev environment
[16:24] <wols_> Threethan: what are you running? right now?
[16:24] <jrib> Threethan: go to the #ubuntu+1 channel.  That channel deals with Intrepid
[16:24] <Threethan> Not that I know of. I'm on my windows XP sp2 machine.
[16:24] <wols_> Leefmc: it's not in ubuntu, it's no ubuntu quesiton. good day
[16:24] <usser> rmaj, a hardware based raid with pretty much any filesystem
[16:24] <Kira> wols_: to make it survive a system restart, I need to change the variable in ~/.profile, right?
[16:24] <Dante123> P3 running at 450 mhz with 512 mb ram-  what Linux would you recommend?  Xubuntu? Or Another?
[16:24] <pistache> Hello all, juste a simple question, where do I need to go (IRC) to get an answer about a network problem (Configuring my routers and all my firewalls to allow my servers to be seen from outside)
[16:24] <wols_> Kira: for example, yes
[16:24] <jrib> Threethan: what is your actual question?
[16:24] <wols_> Threethan: last chance. run the command I told you about
[16:25] <Kira> wols_: you mean there are other ways?
[16:25] <Leefmc> wols_: .. you just said it breaks ubuntu, and that is my question as of now. I am asking what in ubuntu, it is incompatible with (and thus, that is an ubuntu question)
[16:25] <rmaj> usser: will not protect afair against some kinds of failures... and less portable..  OT. if you want xampp help: go away
[16:25] <Threethan> I want to use ubuntu
[16:25] <Dante123> bobertdos Would it run decently given those specs u think?
[16:25] <wols_> !lamp | Leefmc
[16:25] <jrib> I think Threethan may have been mixed up with trontonic at some point
[16:25] <bazhang> Threethan, what version of ubuntu do you have installed
[16:26] <Threethan> I noticed.
[16:26] <Threethan> 7.10
[16:26] <Leefmc> wols_: But fine, if you hate the word xampp, ignore it. How do i make a directory in root (that is, not in /home/user) writable by all programs?
[16:26] <usser> rmaj, a raid can be setup in different ways it can also devote a whole hdd to checksumming your data and as far as i know ppl havent come up with anything more secure than raid. but in terms of portability yea its gonna be kinda bulky
[16:26] <Leefmc> wols_: No that was an ubuntu question, you answered about the packaging system, thats all that was needed. Forget i ever mentioned xampp loi.
[16:26] <pistache> Hello all, juste a simple question, where do I need to go (IRC) to get an answer about a network problem (Configuring my routers and all my firewalls to allow my servers to be seen from outside)
[16:26] <wols_> pistache: #networking. or your router manual (port forwarding
[16:26] <amenado> pistache-> here or in #networking  mayby
[16:27] <wols_> amenado: here, only if the router runs ubuntu
[16:27] <bobertdos> Dante123: Eh, it would run okay, not brilliantly, but better than it would under Gnome or KDE. I don't want to go off-topic, but there are lots of other minimalistic distros you could try too.
[16:27] <rmaj> usser: afair zfs is more secure then raid, it will protect from power failure that happens when wwrite occures to both RAID devices (and corrupts them both)
[16:27] <Leefmc> wols_: So here, pretend i never mentioned that word you hate so much. Here is my question: "How do i make a directory in root (that is, not in /home/user) writable by all programs?"
[16:27] <codyzapp> is dmix for alsa in the synaptic?
[16:27] <wols_> Leefmc: please stop talking to me and take your xampp questins to another channel
[16:27] <amenado> wols_-> we will make him run the routing protocols on his ubuntu so he can enjoy it as an ubuntu router ! :P
[16:27] <bazhang> Leefmc, use lamp
[16:27] <Leefmc> wols_: Forget xampp! yeesh.
[16:28] <jrib> Threethan: you should probably give more details
[16:28] <wols_> amenado: unlikely
[16:28] <Dante123> bobertdos okay thanks.  Is there any others you recommend to look at in addition to Xubuntu?
[16:28] <Leefmc> bazhang: Will do, but can we get off this damned lamp/xampp talk?
[16:28] <Leefmc> Its irrelevant to the question heh.
[16:28] <amenado> Leefmc-> you ever thought of /tmp  ?
[16:28] <saiki> how does one make a zip/tar/rar a .deb?
[16:28] <wols_> amenado: putting webserver files to /tmp is about the stupidest things you can do
[16:28] <Leefmc> amenado: Well its not temp documents
[16:28] <jrib> saiki: I told you before.  Did you read the documentation ubottu sent you?
[16:29] <karly> bazhang: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41900/
[16:29] <wols_> saiki: for an easy way, look up checkinstall
[16:29] <Leefmc> wols_: foorrgettt web server. gaashhh loi
[16:29] <bobertdos> Dante123: I like Puppy Linux. It initially runs off CD, but you can configure it to run a session from a single file, so that's kind of cool.
[16:29] <Leefmc> wols_: You'
[16:29] <saiki> jrib: yes, but it didn't make sense to me
[16:29] <Leefmc> wols_: You're a frustrating man. ;P
[16:29] <usser> rmaj, unfortunately all those features are only currently supported on Solaris and OpenSolaris, linux support is lagging behind
[16:29] <amenado> wols_-> for temporary things is not stupid..but then again i jumped into a convo , i didnt have prior knowledge
[16:29] <agent> wols_, my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41899/ my menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41898/ my device.map: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41897/
[16:29] <wols_> Leefmc: stop that or I need to waste another /ignore on a moron
[16:29] <Leefmc> My loss it seems.
[16:29] <jrib> saiki: you should ask questions about what didn't make sense then...
[16:29] <BunTai> help me..i cant see my aplication like firefox or whatever when i minize
[16:30] <BunTai> anyone help
[16:30] <saiki> jrib: I'm not linux-smart, I'm trying to be though
[16:30] <alinet> i have one question if theres no problem
[16:30] <rmaj> usser: thanks
[16:30] <saiki> jrib: nd um... none of it made sense..
[16:30] <jrib> saiki: then you need to start somewhere else
[16:30] <amenado> wols_-> you seem perturbed this morning..may i offer you a cup of joe? calms the nerves..hehe
[16:30] <Threethan> I have a motorola W850G router. I have ubuntu 7.10. My router is recognized on my win computer, but ubuntu won't connect to the internet. It's wired, I know the router, ethernet card, ethernet cord and modem all work. I've done what it says on the site. I've done sudo ifconfig eth0. I get nothing from the internet.
[16:30] <Leefmc> bazhang: Anyway, i'll checkout lamp. Thanks for the help :)
[16:30] <BunTai> when minize,the folder is missing..anyone help me
[16:30] <monostone>  Anyone experience the black screen+system lockup on boot when using ATI fglrx drivers on ubuntu 8:04.1 and ATI X1650 pro AGP card?
[16:30] <BunTai> when minimize,the folder is missing..anyone help me
[16:30] <BunTai> im new in linuz
[16:30] <BunTai> im new in linux
[16:30] <agent> wols_, now when i boot in grub, for whatever reason i have to use hd(0,Y) to boot any os :( (i just edit it in the grub menu at boot)
[16:30] <Leefmc> amenado: Heh, "perturbed", i would have put it much differently. .. involving a stick, and a donkey.
[16:30] <wols_> agent: why the mapping for windows?
[16:31] <Threethan> I've even done dhclient eth0
[16:31] <wols_> and the important part is: how does your BIOS see your multiple disks? and where exactly is grub installed?
[16:31] <agent> wols_, because there is a windows partition on there.... i changed it to hd(0,0) but the default one was hd(1,0)...
[16:31] <amenado> Leefmc-> come on man, all the ops deserves one of those days...with people asking questions here like..hehe..
[16:31] <wols_> Threethan: in ubuntu: ifconfig -a
[16:32] <Threethan> I did that, too.
[16:32] <agent> wols_, hd(1,0) SHOULD be correct, but like i said above, for whatever reason it requires hd(0,Y) to work
[16:32] <wols_> agent: makes no sense
[16:32] <Leefmc> amenado: I guess loi. Then again, i work in customer service, so i can relate. ;)
[16:32] <BunTai> agent, when minimize,the folder is missing..anyone help me
[16:32] <agent> wols_, i know! it's driving me up the wall!
[16:32] <karly> bazhang: any ideas on that paste?
[16:32] <mib_ldyqdaj0> How can i add space to my linux partition?
[16:32] <wols_> agent: find out what your BIOS thinks is the first drive. not what linux says
[16:32] <Leefmc> amenado: Perhaps if i get paid for it i feel professional in that sense, not sure. Then again, if i was in a bad mood i probably wouldn't bother to "help" :)
[16:32] <amenado> Threethan-> okay, your w850g can alllow other clients?
[16:33] <AmbuTech> Need help help VMWare 0n 8.04
[16:33] <BunTai> i cant minimize anything..it will missing
[16:33] <mib_ldyqdaj0> ???
[16:33] <AmbuTech> Anyone feeling brave!!!!
[16:33] <rubyat> Is there a way to turn off all the log and history keeping? .bash_history sys.log etc
[16:33] <jrib> BunTai: right click on the panel -> add to panel -> add the "window list"
[16:33] <wols_> amenado: try to edit menu.lst and load ubuntu kernel from hd0,2
[16:33] <bazhang> karly, this is the busybox problem right? it cant find your disk to boot from
[16:33] <cikilin> hello i don t have any sound
[16:33] <mib_ldyqdaj0> how can I add space to my linux partition?
[16:33] <Threethan> Well, it's allowing my Windows right now. I was looking at the PDF for the owners manual, and it only has windows options.
[16:33] <karly> bazhang: yea, any idea why?
[16:33] <mib_ldyqdaj0> answer with polishdemon and im good
[16:33] <agent> wols_, im not sure how to do that (besides trusting the bios menu & regular output), but i also tried switching drive boot order and that did not work (it just froze when the first drive was different than the current one)
[16:33] <blame> Ekiga is running sluggishly lately. How can I pinpoint the problem?
[16:33] <BunTai> thanks
[16:33] <BunTai> its work
[16:33] <leftyfb> ok, i'm failing. Fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 with all updates including from proposed on a Dell XPS 410. Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS. I've tried the normal restricted drivers (nvidia-glx-new), tried envy and even tried version 177 which isn't released yet. It refuses to boot properly (beyond 800x600).
[16:34] <BunTai> yehaa!!
[16:34] <wols_> agent: that's notmal. do what I told you
[16:34] <Leefmc> bazhang: Btw, what "lamp" do you speak of? Can you give me a product name? lamp is a very generic term, so assuming you mean lamp in the sense of "bundled lamp stack" (like xampp) it would help to have an actual product name :)
[16:34] <agent> wols_, ok... via post output & bios menu?
[16:34] <amenado> Threethan-> does it have a dmz option? or allow nat and forwarding on that router
[16:34] <BunTai> thanks jrib
[16:34] <karly> bazhang: does grub do things by name (/dev/sda) or by uuid? maybe the mountpoint keeps changing?
[16:34] <cikilin> help!i don t have sound : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[16:34] <wols_> amenado: that's not what I told you. I told you to edit menu.lst
[16:34] <Threethan> I'm pulling up the PDF of the owner's manual once more.
[16:34] <wols_> karly: neither
[16:35] <saiki> jrib: trying to get 2 more things done, idjc 0.7.9 and dolphin
[16:35] <amenado> wols_-> me? i dont have a problem..another user perhaps?
[16:35] <jrib> saiki: don't know what those are, try asking the channel
[16:35] <wols_> agent:  that's not what I told you. I told you to edit menu.lst
[16:35] <saiki> jrib: if I knew how to .deb things it would make installing them MUCH easier
[16:35] <wols_> amenado: sorry
[16:35] <mib_ldyqdaj0> answer to me with the name polishdemon: How can I add space to my linux partition
[16:35] <Gun_Smoke> !dualboot > Gun_Smoke
[16:35] <agent> wols_, no, you told that to amenado :)
[16:35] <wols_> saiki: did you check out checkinstall?
[16:35] <doon> I thought that if I'd mounted a device in /media that any other links would be named what I've named the directories I've mounted to, instead of just labeling them by the size(like when anything is added to /media, it adds a link to the desktop, I don't want a bunch of links named by the size, but the name I've given the mount point), any ideas?
[16:35] <amenado> wols_-> no problem ... :)
[16:35] <Khisanth> Threethan: can you ping the router?
[16:35] <karly> wols_: neither? how does it keep track of discs?
[16:35] <saiki> jrib: idjc is a dj client similar to windows's SAM, and dolphin in a gamecube emulator
[16:36] <Threethan> It comes back with 0%
[16:36] <wols_> karly: it uses BIOS only
[16:36] <amenado> !who | Threethan
[16:36] <BunTai> anyone can suggest the best dock for me? im using ubuntu hardy 8.04
[16:36] <saiki> jrib: and the idjc in the repos is .4, the new ones are out
[16:36] <cikilin> can anybody help me?
[16:36] <wols_> karly: kernel uses whatever you tell it to, sdaX, UUIDs, labels, etc
[16:36] <sponix> Looking for advice on webcams, anyone know of one under $40 that "just works" without any fiddling around ?
[16:36] <saiki> !anyone | cikilin

[16:37] <karly> wols_: not sure where to go from here
[16:37] <rp3> BunTai: AWN works well for me
[16:37] <Threethan> Err... It goes from the DSL line to the modem to the router, to my computer (wired) my sister's computer (wired) and my wife's computer (wireless)
[16:37] <sponix> wols_:  thanks for the link, you used any with success ?
[16:37] <leftyfb> anyone?
[16:37] <Threethan> I'm dual booting, if that matters at all.
[16:37] <wols_> karly: misconfigured menu.lst probably. not a grub problem, kernel config problem
[16:38] <Leefmc> So i wonder if anyone else has experience with zampp (z/x) breaking ubuntu, i can't find any google results on the matter. (Seems to be used in the ubuntu forums with no ill results, odd as that may be...)
[16:38] <BunTai> but i cant move to left or right
[16:38] <leftyfb> ok, i'm failing. Fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 with all updates including from proposed on a Dell XPS 410. Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS. I've tried the normal restricted drivers (nvidia-glx-new), tried envy and even tried version 177 which isn't released yet. It refuses to boot properly (beyond 800x600).

[16:38] <cwill747> !partition | Dabbu1
[16:38] <cikilin> i clicked on sound from panel and it sais  No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[16:38] <cwill747> !sound | cikilin
[16:38] <bobertdos> !sound > cikilin
[16:38] <karly> wols_: and any direction you can point me to? where is menu.lst and should I try to edit it?
[16:38] <amenado> Leefmc-> whats a zampp?
[16:38] <wols_> leftyfb: repeating useless info won't get you any more help. check your Xorg logs
[16:39] <wols_> karly: you should pastebin it. /boot/grub/
[16:39] <dasdajs> hi, I've compiled sbnc and it's now running, but when I try to connect to a server through the bouncer, it says "Connection initialized. Waiting for response..." but then it disconnects? how do I fix this? :S
[16:39] <leftyfb> wols_: how do you consider every relevant details I supplied useless?
[16:39] <Dabbu1> how to know the location and type of drive mounted
[16:39] <elexodus_> Anybody feel like helping me get my media player to play?
[16:39] <wols_> amenado: useless, unsupported software
[16:39] <Leefmc> amenado: Its an x, not a z.  ;P
[16:39] <wols_> leftyfb: because except the card type it is not relevant
[16:39] <Leefmc> (+, )
[16:39] <erUSUL> Dabbu1: cat /proc/mounts
[16:39] <cwill747> !anybody | elexodus_

[16:39] <bobertdos> elexodus_: Which player and what are you trying to play?
[16:40] <leftyfb> wols_: every piece of info I gave is relevant.
[16:40] <amenado> Leefmc-> what you doing with unsupported s/w ? you know better to work with the standards ..
[16:40] <wols_> amenado: all the software in xampp is already in ubuntu. but unlike xampp it's security udpate supported
[16:40] <Leefmc> amenado: He says it breaks ubuntu, but im not finding any examples of this "fact".
[16:40] <wols_> leftyfb: please stop
[16:40] <wols_> leftyfb: if you can't do what I told you, stop talking to me. good day
[16:40] <Leefmc> amenado: Please point me in the right direction then :)
[16:40] <Threethan> amenado: How would I find out if it has a dmz option or if it allows nat and forwarding?
[16:40] <ponti> #/jacquouille
[16:40] <Leefmc> amenado: Though i still have yet to find where it breaks ubuntu, but w/e :)
[16:40] <wols_> Leefmc: you've been pointed to !lamp time and again. why do you ignore it?
[16:40] <leftyfb> Anyone else have any useful assistance they can provide please?
[16:41] <amenado> Threethan-> i guess reading the manual that came with your w850g would help
[16:41] <bazhang> leftyfb, for what
[16:41] <grigora> how do I reset my timezone, no matter what I do, it doesn't change. any ideas?
[16:41] <agent> wols_, my bios post output is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41902/
[16:41] <leftyfb> bazhang: Fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 with all updates including from proposed on a Dell XPS 410. Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS. I've tried the normal restricted drivers (nvidia-glx-new), tried envy and even tried version 177 which isn't released yet. It refuses to boot properly (beyond 800x600).
[16:41] <Leefmc> wols_: Sorry, just started ignoring you by accident. Lemme re-read, perhaps theres use in it.
[16:41] <Threethan> amenado: I'm looking at that right now. I just don't know where in the manual it'd be. Under what topic.
[16:41] <bazhang> leftyfb, intrepid?
[16:41] <grigora> my /etc/timezone has the correct value
[16:41] <nikhil> installed kubuntu alongside ubuntu 8.04?  KDE 4.1 applications are not running properly, Any help?
[16:41] <jrib> Leefmc: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid
[16:41] <leftyfb> bazhang: try reading my post
[16:41] <jrib> leftyfb: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid
[16:41] <Leefmc> jrib: Im not in intrepid ;)
[16:41] <jrib> Leefmc: sorry, ignore me
[16:41] <leftyfb> ugh!!!!!
[16:41] <Leefmc> on+
[16:41] <leftyfb> sorry
[16:42] <bazhang> leftyfb, 8.10 is intrepid
[16:42] <leftyfb> 8.04
[16:42] <leftyfb> my bad
[16:42] <Leefmc> jrib: np :)
[16:42] <amenado> Threethan-> okay, let me also digest what you said, you have a dsl/router now and it is one port? four ports?
[16:42] <wols_> agent: why is there no channel 1 master? and why is the seagate another slave?
[16:42] <FloodBot1> leftyfb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:42] <cwill747> leftyfb: you're running intrepid.
[16:42] <leftyfb> it's not intrepid
[16:42] <leftyfb> it's not 8.10
[16:42] <nikhil> anybody?
[16:42] <nikhil> installed kubuntu alongside ubuntu 8.04?  KDE 4.1 applications are not running properly, Any help?
[16:42] <cwill747> leftyfb: sorry, i just saw you say that
[16:42] <leftyfb> it's 8.04 .... my mistake
[16:42] <bazhang> leftyfb, install nvidia-settings
[16:42] <leftyfb> wtf
[16:42] <Threethan> amenado: four ports.
[16:42] <meng_> hi, when i put the eee901 to sleep mode it hang. any ideas?
[16:42] <agent> wols_, seagate is ATA and the rest are SATA which technically means there is no such thing as master/slave in SATA (AFAIK)
[16:42] <bazhang> meng_, running hardy?
[16:43] <meng_> yes
[16:43] <cap> FYI: Problem; vlc-plugin does not work in Firefox. Solution, install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[16:43] <BunTai> i love u all
[16:43] <amenado> Threethan-> out of the 4, you have a windows plugged into it and the windows host can access the internet?
[16:43] <BunTai> you all very good
[16:43] <bazhang> meng_, check the wiki at www.eeeuser.com on how to get hardy running perfectly
[16:43] <BunTai> :)
[16:43] <cap> Thanks all
[16:43] <wols_> agent: your maxtor can't have both ubuntu and windows. not with your current menu.lst
[16:43] <cwill747> leftyfb: have you looked at !nvidia?
[16:43] <Vialas_res> hi everyone
[16:43] <Vialas_res> how are you all?
[16:43] <wols_> agent: sudo fdisk -l
[16:43] <grigora> does anyone know what I need to do in addition to setting /etc/timezone for my system to use the correct timezone? I used tzconfig to set it, but date still shows the time in the old timezone.
[16:43] <Threethan> amenado: It has a dmz ip address configuration option. So, I assume it does have a dmz option.
[16:44] <Vialas_SSH> hi everyone
[16:44] <amenado> Threethan-> out of the 4, you have a windows plugged into it and the windows host can access the internet?
[16:44] <agent> wols_, my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41899/ my menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41898/ my device.map: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41897/
[16:44] <Gnea> !hi | Vialas_SSH
[16:44] <wols_> agent: no one asked you for this
[16:44] <leftyfb> bazhang: i'll try that after going back to the normal restricted drivers .. gotta get rid of envy. although i'm not sure it will help. It's not just a question of resolution, but of the driver not working. I get the "bulletproof" mode at boot. cwill747 no need, I know the basic troubleshooting for video/nvidia issues.
[16:44] <cwill747> grigora: and you tried just right clicking on your clock and setting the preferences?
[16:44] <Threethan> amenado: Yes, the windows host can access it. The ubuntu host, which is the same computer (dual booting) cannot.
[16:44] <agent> wols_, <wols_> agent: sudo fdisk -l <--- then i gave  you links to pastebin of fdisk-l
[16:44] <wols_> leftyfb: did you use envy or envyng?
[16:44] <agent> wols_, errr... sorry
[16:45] <Threethan> amenado: And, yes, it does allow forwarding.
[16:45] <wols_> Threethan: what ethernet chip?
[16:45] <Leefmc> Anyone familiar with this error: "aptitude failed (100)"? Recieved when attempting "sudo tasksel install lamp-server"
[16:45] <Vialas-ssh> was just using ssh, a little message came up on the bottom saying "wolf wolf"
[16:45] <alinet> i am would like to develop web applicaiton on linux
[16:45] <Vialas-ssh> what on earth does that mean
[16:45] <alinet> any one know a good room
[16:45] <amenado> Threethan-> okay, lets do this,  on your windows msdos command line, type ipconfig  and tell me the ip address and the gateway it acquires
[16:45] <grigora> cwill747: this is the server, i don't have any GUI installed
[16:45] <Vialas-ssh> did i get hacked :O
[16:45] <Threethan> wols_: That's a new one. Let me look into that. Lol.
[16:46] <jrib> Vialas-ssh: you are using screen
[16:46] <cwill747> grigora: oh, that might explain it. XD
[16:46] <amenado> Threethan-> then do the same on the attached ubuntu (on another port of that router), type ifconfig
[16:46] <leftyfb> wols_: "envy" won't install in 8.04. I've already mentioned i'm privy to basic nvidia troubleshooting and don't need a walkthrough with the common sense basics. If you're not going to listen to me, then please stop talking to me,.
[16:46] <Threethan> amenado: Tried that, it's going too fast for me to review it. ifconfig | more is the same way.
[16:46] <wols_> Threethan: I asked you lots of things which you all ignored
[16:46] <habernet> where can you download login screens?
[16:46] <grigora> cwill747: explain what exactly?
[16:46] <amenado> Threethan-> it should not go so fast on windows, make the windows larger, and type ipconfig again
[16:46] <Threethan> wols_: I didn't ignore it. I replied, you confused me with someone else.
[16:46] <wols_> leftyfb: good luck getting any help with your attitude. have a nice day
[16:46] <karly> wols_: il say its misconfigured menu.lst, there is no boot directory
[16:47] <cwill747> grigora: why i didn't understand what you were talking about
[16:47] <grigora> cwill747: I am guessing I need to set the TZ variable somewhere
[16:47] <wols_> karly: not possible. if ther is no /boot you don't have ubuntu installed
[16:47] <Gnea> leftyfb: seriously, fix your attitude if you want any help here.
[16:47] <Vialas-ssh> ?
[16:47] <rubyat> Is there a way to turn off all the log and history keeping? .bash_history sys.log etc
[16:47] <karly> from busybox promt, ls gives me the standard dirs, no boot there
[16:47] <fogobogo> Vialas-ssh: ?
[16:47] <wols_> rubyat: you could stop the logging daemon but that would be unwise
[16:48] <karly> gives me root, tmp, bin, etc
[16:48] <arcade> Got a problem with an HP Omnibook 6100 (my good old laptop) and newer Ubuntu releases.  It freezes or reboots (either or) with newer kernels.  Worked nice up until 6.10 (I think), 7.04, 7.10 and 8.04 causes hang/reboot during bootup.  Bug 89892 seems to be the one hitting me (and others)
[16:48] <wols_> karly: use the live cd
[16:48] <jrib> Vialas-ssh: screen will do that by default on beep
[16:48] <Threethan> amenado: Everytime, it goes too fast for me to look at it. I try the pause|break key, but that doesn't help either.
[16:48] <jrib> Vialas-ssh: or "alert bell" or whatever
[16:48] <grigora> what's the proper place/way to set the TZ variable?
[16:48] <marek_> marek
[16:48] <wols_> karly: cause you aren't on your harddisk. it's not mounted. which is why busybox is showing.
[16:48] <arcade> And for some reason it's marked 'wontfix'. :-/
[16:48] <amenado> Threethan-> it should not go so fast on windows, make the windows larger, and type ipconfig again..then tell me the ip address and gateway
[16:48] <marek_> kurwy jebane
[16:49] <vegeta> salut
[16:49] <v1nce> I am testing some simple sample code provided by Authorize.net to connect to their AIM service. This script utilizes cURL, which I have installed on a virtual server. The script is not working on this server and I get no error messages or anything. It just doesn't run.
[16:49] <amenado> Threethan-> full screen command line on windows please so it dont scroll too far
[16:49] <cwill747> grigora: try taking a look at http://tinyurl.com/3vjda but i don't know if it's right
[16:49] <v1nce> I have cURL installed???
[16:49] <wols_> Threethan: it's nice how you ignored my question again. I think I will ignore you too frm now on. HAND
[16:49] <Threethan> Thank you, everyone, for trying to help me. But, I'm getting very frustrated. I'm going to take a break, and come back in a bit.
[16:49] <amenado> v1nce-> can your virtual server ping same address?
[16:50] <leftyfb> Restricted nvidia drivers are not working properly. There's nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
[16:50] <v1nce> I have run the exact same script on a shared host that works fine
[16:50] <v1nce> ???
[16:50] <jrib> leftyfb: define "properly".  Pastebin Xorg.0.log anyway
[16:50] <Gnea> arcade: does this happen only with 8.04?
[16:50] <agent> wols_, my fdisk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41903/
[16:50] <Tona> hello guys, I have a very strange

[16:50] <Tona> thing
[16:50] <cwill747> !ask | Tona
[16:50] <Threethan> wols_ : again, I wasn't ignoring you. Take it as a personal insult if you want, but it's not. I'm trying to answer the questions that I'm asked from people that are trying to help me, just like you are. I appreciate the effort, but I can't answer fifty people at once, and still try to answer the questions fully.
[16:50] <wols_> jrib: didn't you read? there is NOTHING in tehre :P
[16:51] <v1nce> amenado -> ping what server?
[16:51] <Threethan> And, as I said, going AFK. I need to regroup.
[16:51] <amenado> v1nce-> the host you are trying to connect with
[16:51] <Gnea> arcade: er, sorry, i mis-read the problem. have you tried any kernel switches?
[16:51] <arcade> Gnea: Nah, 7.04 and 7.10 too.
[16:51] <wols_> agent: last time. edit your menu.lst entry for ubuntu and change the hdX where for X you try all numbers from 0 to 2
[16:51] <Tona> the thing is that I have just installed ubuntu, and I can surf some websites like google news etc, but if I go to others keep loading but never comes, if I go to windows all is ok, what can be
[16:51] <cwill747> !bye | Threethan
[16:51] <arcade> Gnea: noacpi and so forth has been tried.
[16:51] <arcade> Gnea: No joy, though.
[16:51] <v1nce> amenado-> i will test now
[16:52] <Gnea> arcade: i'm not familiar with the "so forth" switch. :) could you please elaborate?
[16:52] <amenado> Tona-> what others? yahoo.com is okay for you?
[16:52] <Tona> I did not check, but even ubuntuforums is not going
[16:52] <Tona> or anypage that is from wordpress
[16:52] <arcade> Gnea: Hmm.  *tries to remember*.  noapic?
[16:52] <appeltje> can anyone help me??
[16:53] <Tona> or even the updates from ubuntu self
[16:53] <Rakeer> Is there any way to see a progress bar when copying files from say a thumbdrive to desktop?

[16:53] <Lincid> !anyone | appeltje
[16:53] <amenado> Tona  is your /etc/resolv.conf okay?
[16:53] <leftyfb> my Xorg.0.log
[16:53] <amenado> !who | Tona
[16:53] <Gnea> arcade: no sure if turning off APIC would help... have you tried re-routing interrupts?
[16:53] <agent> wols_, it works with hd(0,Y).... i said that in the beginning...problem is after every grub-update it is reset to (ha1,Y)
[16:53] <arcade> Gnea: Nope.
[16:53] <arcade> Gnea: not familiar with rereouting interrupts.
[16:53] <Tona> I did not check that
[16:53] <agent> wols_, s/ha/hd
[16:53] <wols_> agent: then you have a misconfigured groot=line in menu.lst
[16:53] <Tona> amenado: what I should do ?
[16:53] <Gnea> arcade: okay - keeping APIC on is usually a good thing. pci=routeirq  usually takes care of hangs/lockups
[16:54] <arcade> Gnea: According to the bugreport that others have filed, some have had success removing / moving away the intel-rng.ko
[16:54] <amenado> Tona  cat /etc/resol.conf and put it in pastebin so we can see
[16:54] <wols_> agent: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41898/ line 74
[16:54] <arcade> Gnea: But I had no joy with that. :-/
[16:54] <Tona> ok
[16:54] <Gnea> arcade: well, give this a shot and see what happens :)
[16:54] <wols_> agent: if you fix that line and run update-grub, all will be well
[16:54] <Tona> I need to go to ubuntu now
[16:54] <Tona> and I come back to windows
[16:54] <Tona> cause I can not go to chatzilla even
[16:54] <_numbers_> anyone know the command to re open terminal in tightvnc on ubuntu?

[16:55] <v1nce> amenado-> the url is https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll
[16:55] <arcade> Gnea: I will as soon as it's finished with its current task.  :)
[16:55] <Gnea> arcade: ok
[16:56] <v1nce> amenado-> when i run ping should it be ping -c 5 test.authorize.net ???
[16:56] <agent> wols_, tried changing groot=(hd1,2) to # groot=(hd0,2) and no go :(
[16:56] <wols_> agent: did you run update grub?
[16:56] <amenado> v1nce-> yeah or just regular ping test.authorize.net
[16:56] <agent> wols_, yeah
[16:56] <wols_> agent: via sudo?
[16:57] <wols_> Cza: as glxinfo says: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[16:57] <arcade> Gnea: Tad annoying that it's marked 'medium,nofix' though - with no proper resolution.  The bug, that is.
[16:57] <agent> wols_, yes
[16:57] <Nechepsos> hello ubuntu help?
[16:57] <doon> no
[16:57] <wols_> agent: then it will rewrite your menu.lst as it should
[16:57] <agent> wols_, i am attempting again as we speak
[16:57] <karly> wols_: live cd didn't show discs either
[16:57] <wols_> karly: what sata controller?
[16:58] <dacubuntu> hi there
[16:58] <Gnea> arcade: yeah, i'm looking at them right now
[16:58] <wols_> karly: and how did you check for disks?
[16:58] <dacubuntu> i've been using ubuntu for a while now
[16:58] <amenado> !ask | Nechepsos
[16:58] <dacubuntu> and recently... nautilus has been hanging on me. I know this is because of the previes
[16:58] <karly> wols_: it's a scsi controller, perc2
[16:58] <v1nce> amenado-> i get 100% packet loss out of 5 packets with ping test.authorize.net
[16:58] <Nechepsos> ok... I have sound via mplayer and it works great
[16:58] <dacubuntu> *previews, is there any way to solve it?
[16:58] <doon> I thought that if I'd mounted a device in /media that any other links would be named what I've named the directories I've mounted to, instead of just labeling them by the size(like when anything is added to /media, it adds a link to the desktop, I don't want a bunch of links named by the size, but the name I've given the mount point), any ideas?
[16:59] <shallwe> hi :D
[16:59] <Nechepsos> but for some reason sound for youtube is gone
[16:59] <wols_> karly: and how did you check for disks?
[16:59] <Nechepsos> I know it has to do with a flash or firefox setting but where?
[16:59] <shallwe> someone using ubuntu 8.04 please? i had a error trying install libasound2-dev
[16:59] <wols_> !Info libflash-support
[16:59] <amenado> v1nce-> can you resolve the url  test.authorize.net to its numerical ip address? check your /etc/resolv.conf
[16:59] <shallwe> someone has the same error?
[16:59] <Gnea> shallwe: what's the error, exactly?
[17:00] <karly> wols_: used DSL, don't have live cd for buntu, and I checked there, it just showed ramdisc
[17:00] <dacubuntu> Recently, nautilus has been hanging on me. I know this is because of the preview feature. Is there anyway to fix this?
[17:00] <shallwe> i cant install libasound2-dev becouse dependecys
[17:00] <amenado> doon please look into using udev, man udev or google for how to make udev rules
[17:00] <Gnea> arcade: i'm guessing you have done this, but i'd rather not assume that you have: have you gone through HP's troubleshooting guide?
[17:00] <v1nce> amenado-> when i run ping it says the ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:00] <shallwe> libasound2 (=1.0.13ubuntu4)
[17:00] <shallwe> i have brazilian ubuntu :P x64
[17:00] <wols_> karly: we do not support DSL
[17:01] <Gnea> aah
[17:01] <dacubuntu> I've disabled preview, but I want previews, but I don't want the hangs!
[17:01] <amenado> v1nce-> but you can not resolve it using the test.authorize.net ?
[17:01] <socomm> brazilian isn't that just portoguese?
[17:01] <karly> wols_: lol I know, I have no questions about dsl
[17:01] <dacubuntu> Can any1 please help me?
[17:01] <Tona> amenado : ready i did paste it
[17:01] <Tona> d
[17:01] <karly> wols_: just sued it to check for drives and none showed
[17:01] <wols_> karly: use a ubuntu live cd. we do not know what drivers dsl has and we don't care
[17:01] <v1nce> amenado-> i have two nameserver ip's listed in /etc/resolv.conf
[17:01] <amenado> socomm nope, depends on where you live in that big country
[17:01] <agent> wols_, i tried it again and it works... i must have made a type of some kind or whatnot (due to being tired).... thank you soooooooooooo much!!!
[17:01] <Nechepsos> audio is youtube or any firefox session is gone.. video works fine and mplyaer can play all mpegs etc just fine
[17:01] <Altreus> My xorg.conf has the standard "Configured Mouse" "mouse" "CorePointer" in it but I don't have a mouse cursor because I don't have an actual mouse, but when I connect my wiimote I still don't have a mouse pointer. How do I make the mouse pointer appear?
[17:01] <Gnea> shallwe: are you familiar with the pastebin site?
[17:01] <agent> wols_, s/type/typo
[17:01] <v1nce> amenado->not sure what i need to do
[17:01] <amenado> Tona I missed it, can you repaste the link?
[17:02] <Tona> yes
[17:02] <v1nce> amenado->i am able to ping google.com fine
[17:02] <Tona> http://paste.ubuntu.com/41907/
[17:02] <amenado> v1nce-> whats the nameservers are you using?
[17:02] <starenka> hullo, any samba (printing only) tutorial?
[17:02] <bobbob1016> I'm looking a GeForce 8400 GS with HDMI out.  It also says it has audio passthrough, does anyone know if the audio passthrough is supported by the linux driver?
[17:02] <dacubuntu> hello? Can any1 please help me fix the nautilus bug?
[17:02] <v1nce> amenado->i think they are my hosts - <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:02] <Jackiz> why can i not copy and paste text from mirc ?
[17:02] <Gnea> !ask | dacubuntu
[17:02] <amenado> Tona i told you you have to put my nick on the front or I will miss your responses
[17:03] <Altreus> Jackiz: mirc auto-copies when you select
[17:03] <Tona> sorry
[17:03] <Tona> you are right
[17:03] <Jackiz> i cant do it in ubuntu :O
[17:03] <Gnea> Jackiz: ctrl-c, ctrl-v?
[17:03] <Tona> tona : sorry you are right
[17:03] <Jackiz> doesnt work :/
[17:03] <Tona> amenado :  sorry you are right
[17:03] <amenado> v1nce-> those are not good nameservers..
[17:03] <sourav1234> hi i am having problem downloading software from ubuntu repo...anybody else having this problem?
[17:03] <Gnea> !repeat | Tona
[17:03] <Tona> amenado : http://paste.ubuntu.com/41907/
[17:03] <Nechepsos> audio in youtube or any firefox session is gone.. video works fine and mplayer can play any mpegs etc with audio/video just fine
[17:03] <amenado> v1nce-> ooops, i was lookiing at tona paste..
[17:04] <arvind_khadri> sourav1234, what problem??
[17:04] <Gludggen> good morrow
[17:04] <amenado> Tona  your router/gateway is  <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[17:04] <v1nce> amenado->are my nameservers ok?
[17:04] <sourav1234> looks like archive.ubuntu.com is down...
[17:04] <Tona> amenado : yes
[17:04] <Tona> amenado : I even can go to certain website but not the most ones
[17:04] <Gnea> sourav1234: works fine here.
[17:05] <sourav1234> apt-get is stopped with this:
[17:05] <amenado> v1nce-> those ip address <IP_ADDRESS> is your ISP's dns servers?
[17:05] <sourav1234> sudo apt-get install soundconvertersudo apt-get install soundconverter
[17:05] <Cza> 19:01 <wols_> shut the fuck up and never ever PM people unasked you moron  <- Lol ^^ Nice people here :P. I tought it would be a better to set a query around my problem that keep on chatting here and fullfill this channel...
[17:05] <v1nce> amenado->no, they are my virtual hosts dns servers i believe
[17:05] <amenado> Tona-> your router is not providing a good name server, use your ISP name server instead.. change what you have in /etc/resolv.conf  with your ISP's
[17:05] <Gnea> Cza: PM is meant for PM, not for the channel.
[17:05] <Tona> amenado : Ok I will see
[17:06] <sourav1234> oops.....sorry
[17:06] <Gnea> Cza: that is quite inappropriate of you to do. yes, you really should ask someone before you PM them if you can PM them.
[17:06] <amenado> v1nce-> well make sure your virtual host dns servers can resolve names correctly ..thats where your issues seems to be
[17:06] <Vialas> hi there
[17:06] <Vialas> i was using ssh,
[17:06] <LjL> Cza: this is not the place for that, if you have complains, there is #ubuntu-ops (although PM is PM)
[17:06] <sourav1234> but 0% [Waiting for headers] is showing for ages
[17:06] <Vialas> i got a message bottom left "wolf wolf"
[17:06] <v1nce> amenado->ok i'll look into that
[17:06] <Vialas> was this a hacker?
[17:06] <Gnea> Vialas: sure it's not "WOOF -- WOOF"?
[17:07] <duiu> sourav1234: you're not connected to the net or your being firewalled
[17:07] <v1nce> amenado->i am able to ping google fine
[17:07] <Altreus> I have discovered I do in fact have a mouse but it has no cursor. Why would this be?
[17:07] <sourav1234> it says After this operation, 721kB of additional disk space will be used.
[17:07] <sourav1234> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe soundconverter 1.0.1-0ubuntu2
[17:07] <sourav1234>   Connection failed [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[17:07] <maek> Cza, yeah not sure what wols_ problem is
[17:07] <Cza> Gnea: :) I've been using IRC for a 12years now, and setting up a query hasn't ever been "a bad thing"
[17:07] <LjL> !ot
[17:07] <amenado> v1nce-> but thats just google, but others you cant right? work on that private dns resolver of yours
[17:07] <Cza> Gnea: if PM means same as query... Newer ever used that word.
[17:07] <Gnea> Cza: I've been using IRC for over 13 years. :) I'm sure you're familiar with the concept of "channel protocol". :)
[17:07] <Tona> amenado : I know is not ubuntu related but how I get this  ISP name server ?
[17:08] <duiu> Where is the kernel source tree located at in Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-19?
[17:08] <amenado> Tona-> what is your ISP name? you can ask them or go to their web site and get the info ?
[17:08] <Gnea> !guidelines | Cza
[17:08] <v1nce> amenado->thank you i'll look into this!
[17:08] <Nechepsos> audio in youtube or any firefox session is gone.. video works fine and mplayer can play any mpegs etc with audio/video just fine. any ideas?
[17:08] <amenado> v1nce-> yeah thats common problem, having a faulty name server dolling out wrong info
[17:08] <sourav1234> but sudo apt-get update is working
[17:09] <sourav1234> ok working now...looks like temporary issue
[17:09] <farid> hi
[17:09] <farid> hi all
[17:09] <farid> how are u
[17:09] <LjL> !hi
[17:09] <ToxicAngel> hey all
[17:09] <Iradieh> I'm installing Ubuntu right now and desperately want one, without going through the hassle of setting up MythTV. I don't want to record video, I just want a nice clean way to browse and watch it on my TV.
[17:10] <Iradieh> What app should I use?
[17:10] <larsig> Nechepsos: I have the same problem, try exiting all sound applications and then restart firefox. after the flash window is opened, run 'alsactl restore' in the console
[17:10] <Cza> ubottu: Gnea: Still cant find: "Dont use /msg or /query -messages. Talk only in channel."
[17:10] <duiu> !ask | farid
[17:10] <Gnea> larsig: that depends on which TV card you have.
[17:10] <LjL> Iradieh: eh, i missed something... "want one" what?
[17:10] <prince_jammys> Cza: well, it's pretty standard all over freenode, not just #ubuntu.
[17:10] <Gnea> oops
[17:10] <Nechepsos> thnks tarsig.. will try
[17:10] <Gnea> Iradieh: that depends on which TV card you have.
[17:11] <LjL> !tv > Iradieh    (Iradieh, see the private message from Ubotu) if i've got you right...
[17:11] <Gnea> larsig: sorry :)
[17:11] <farid> plz anyone chat with me
[17:11] <Cza> prince_jammys: Ok, first time here in freenode... kinda different ppl than in Ircnet, :)
[17:11] <LjL> !ot | farid
[17:11] <nivek_unix> hello, how do i fix for: when i added the mysql-gui-tools in the Synaptic Package Manager it didnt install?
[17:11] <Gnea> nivek_unix: what's the exact error message?
[17:12] <rmaj> usser: btw, ##nexent (ubuntu + opensolaris) looks really cool
[17:12] <ToxicAngel> hey,im using ubuntu for 2 days now
[17:12] <rmaj> usser: ##nexenta
[17:12] <larsig> I am experiencing the same issue with the sound as Nechepsos do. On both two ubuntu-installations in fact. I guess its a common bug in ubuntu nowdays?
[17:12] <nivek_unix> Gnea: no error, it just says the typical Installation Success and when i look in Programming, and Menu Edit, no MySQL GUI Tools
[17:12] <ToxicAngel> could one of u tell me a good music player?
[17:12] <Cza> Okay... What  setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[17:12] <rmaj> ToxicAngel: all players have flaws
[17:12] <Gnea> nivek_unix: are you sure you're looking in the right place?
[17:12] <bazhang> !players > ToxicAngel
[17:12] <Cza> means?
[17:13] <rmaj> ToxicAngel:  most not bad are audacious  and  rhyme box something  it seems
[17:13] <dyf> hello.. i have a laptop that does not have a cd drive, just a network connection.. how do i install ubuntu on it?
[17:13] <Gnea> Cza: that's an environment variable
[17:13] <duiu> ToxicAngel: It's personal preference, I prefer AmaroK
[17:13] <LjL> !good > ToxicAngel    (ToxicAngel, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:14] <br10ta10> dyf: are you running Windows on it?
[17:14] <dyf> br10ta10: hmm, lets say no
[17:14] <Cza> Gnea: If I set it, as told, will it help me to solve, why my client glx vendor string is SGI while it should be NVIDIA?
[17:14] <LSD|Ninja> dyf: USB CD drive
[17:14] <br10ta10> dyf: not sure then. i had Windows installed previously and I used WUBI to install Ubuntu from inside Windows.
[17:14] <Gnea> Cza: the possibility exists.
[17:15] <nivek_unix> Gnea: yes, it should be in Programming
[17:15] <dyf> br10ta10: WUBI can do network install?
[17:15] <crdlb> Cza: if your client glx vendor is SGI, then the nvidia driver is not installed
[17:15] <gilligan_> anyone here by any chance using a Brother MFC-7820 ? I tried a lot of different settings but so far I could not yield proper results.. printer test page isn't printed correctly .. imageable area seems wrong - or something with the margins is wrong or so
[17:15] <br10ta10> dyf: not really, you run windows, download wubi and install it like you would any windows app, only it install linux on the disk and then you boot into linux from there on out. it's cool.
[17:16] <nivek_unix> Gnea: i look to other menus also, but when i do a locate mysql-query, it results the svg images..
[17:16] <nivek_unix> means installed? but cant find the binary :(
[17:16] <Gnea> nivek_unix: well, according to what i'm seeing, mysql-gui-tools-common is just a bunch of backend things for mysql administrator
[17:16] <ToxicAngel> im still too confused bout all that new stuff
[17:16] <Cza> crdlb: please check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=905295  I've installed the NVIDIA driver correctly for about 15times now, but nuthing helps. I've also removed xserver core and things, but client glx vendor string stays SGI
[17:17] <Gnea> nivek_unix: it doesn't even depend on anything, which means it's not a GUI itself.
[17:17] <Nechepsos> didn't work tarsig. it did come up telling me all the plug-ins installed
[17:17] <Gnea> nivek_newbee: have you installed mysql-admin?
[17:17] <prince_jammys> nivek_newbee: perhaps you want mysql-admin
[17:18] <pistache> join #ubuntu
[17:18] <crdlb> Cza: you've tried: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx-new ?
[17:18] <Nechepsos> audio in youtube or any firefox session is gone.. video works fine and mplayer can play any mpegs etc with audio/video just fine. any ideas?
[17:18] <kevinO> does socks require dns?
[17:19] <Cza> crdlb: few times yes.. How it's different than using sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx-* and then rebootin X and installing the driver again
[17:19] <nivek_unix> Gnea: oops! ic.. so its not a gui tools same in mysql.com? i already installed the LAMP things
[17:20] <Gnea> nivek_unix: nope! it's just a collection of software that helps a separate GUI work :)
[17:20] <crdlb> Cza: ok, this is a big of a longshot, but you can uninstall nvidia-glx-new, then sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-glx, then install nvidia-glx-new
[17:20] <nivek_unix> Gnea: haha! ok.. my bad..
[17:20] <crdlb> Cza: the nvidia driver has its own libgl which must replace the one in libgl1-mesa-glx, and that seems to be failing
[17:21] <Gnea> nivek_unix: no worries
[17:21] <Iradieh> LjL: I am sorry you misunderstood
[17:21] <Iradieh> LjL: Look into Front Row it is just a graphical way to browse and play your movies with the apple remote
[17:21] <Iradieh> LjL: I want to do the same
[17:21] <VvWolverinevV> hi, i have 2 HDD's (1 windows, 1 linux); when i boot windows through the boot loader on the linux HDD MBR, i am unable to sleep windows; but when i boot directly to the windows HDD, i can sleep no problem; anyone seen that before?
[17:21] <Gnea> Iradieh: MythTV will do that
[17:22] <bazhang> Iradieh, that is not available with ubuntu exactly the same as OS X
[17:22] <quentusrex> Is there a way to run "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y" without having to type a password?
[17:22] <adammw111> Hi, what's the quickest way to install sound support on Hardy?
[17:22] <Gnea> Iradieh: as bazhang pointed out, it's not exactly the same, but it does work.
[17:22] <bazhang> #ubuntu-mythtv Iradieh
[17:23] <trontonic> adammw111: 1. See if you have sound, 2. Check if the volume is turned on, 3. Follow a guide
[17:23] <Gnea> !sound > adammw111   (following these directions will get you sound)
[17:24] <sax> hi
[17:24] <adammw111> Gnea: So install ALSA? (i was asking cause i've got the base installed and didn't know if i just go stright to alsa or i need drivers or whether oss is better supported)
[17:24] <Guest2092> hello
[17:24] <npope> morning all
[17:24] <Guest2092> whats the prompt command for update?
[17:24] <Oli``> Is it possible to create a direct launcher for a virtualbox virtual machine? (rather than launching the VirtualBox overview)
[17:24] <Guest2092> im behind a firewall and i cant update
[17:24] <Oli``> Guest2092: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:24] <Iradieh> Gnea and bazhang MythTV is too bloated
[17:25] <Gnea> adammw111: alsa should already be installed - just follow the guides that ubottu sent you to make sure that it's working properly
[17:25] <nivek_unix> whats the next release of ubuntu?
[17:25] <Iradieh> and does to omuch
[17:25] <Gnea> Iradieh: only if you let it be bloated.
[17:25] <adammw111> Gnea: even for a server?
[17:25] <duiu> nivek_unix: 8.10
[17:25] <Iradieh> I just want to scroll my library, pla and pause with my Apple remote
[17:25] <Guest2092> thanls
[17:25] <Gnea> adammw111: you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server then
[17:25] <Gnea> adammw111: but yes
[17:25] <LSD|Ninja> nivek_unix: intrepid ibex and it's due in october
[17:25] <adammw111> ok.. thanks
[17:25] <nivek_unix> Gnea: is there a blog for the upcomming release?
[17:25] <johnmatrix> greetings, are there any *good looking* msn messenger clients out there? amsn looks like absolute shite, and pidgin doesnt provide the functionality i need
[17:26] <nivek_unix> ow, still available though updates?
[17:26] <LSD|Ninja> johnmatrix: mercury> (mercury.im)
[17:26] <Gnea> Iradieh: you don't have to install every mythtv component. and if you want front row, then buy a mac.
[17:26] <LSD|Ninja> Frontrow++
[17:26] <Iradieh> Gnea: I got a Mac
[17:26] <duiu> johnmatrix: apt-get update, then apt-cache search msn will search packages for MSN and you can try one
[17:26] <Iradieh> Gnea: I got a mac mini and that was just a useless comment
[17:26] <sourav1234> again I am not getting to archive.ubuntu.org
[17:26] <Iradieh> please spare me
[17:26] <sourav1234> it says unknown host when trying to ping
[17:27] <Oli``> johnmatrix: what do you need that pidgin doesn't do?
[17:27] <bazhang> Iradieh, well we gave the best solution possible
[17:27] <LSD|Ninja> Though FR2 is a bit of a step backwards compared with FR1 :(
[17:27] <johnmatrix> LSD|Ninja: thanks ill check it out
[17:27] <Gnea> Iradieh: well, with your attitude, it looks like you've got everything that you really need.
[17:27] <johnmatrix> Oli: it dosnt support multiple multi-person convos
[17:28] <LSD|Ninja> johnmatrix: I haven't tried it myself, I only discovered it existed a few hours ago
[17:28] <Oli``> johnmatrix: it really does
[17:29] <Oli``> johnmatrix: oh.. multiple multiple-person chats... Well I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I've been in two three-person chats before (a while back)
[17:29] <johnmatrix> Oli: I guess I havnt figured it out :S, also it dosnt receive msgs i receive when im offline.. amsn does
[17:29] <johnmatrix> amsn just turns me off visually though lol
[17:29] <Oli``> johnmatrix: the latest version has added offline message support
[17:30] <Oli``> johnmatrix: you can grab the .deb from getdeb if you don't fancy building it yourself
[17:30] <johnmatrix> really? cos i was just logged into pidgin, then i logged into amsn and 4 messages from hours ago popped up
[17:30] <johnmatrix> oic so the one in synaptic isn't the latest?
[17:30] <mnemo> non-focused windows have semi-transparent titlebar in ubuntu. how can I make them solid non-transparent instead?
[17:30] <outbriber> johnmatrix: Pidgin 2.5.0 has MSNP15 support, so offline messages and personal status messages, etc.
[17:31] <magnetron> with ccsm, mnemo
[17:31] <Oli``> johnmatrix: nope - they only upgrade the synaptic version when there are security updates.. until the next major ubuntu release
[17:31] <mnemo> magentar: i have it, but where?
[17:31] <johnmatrix> awesome, ill try it. thanks guys
[17:31] <taub> could someone google an euirc server for me?
[17:31] <taub> browser aint working
[17:32] <Oli``> taub: which?
[17:32] <taub> i just need any but the default server
[17:32] <BunTai> i need a codec for rmvb format..how?

[17:33] <BunTai> i need a codec for rmvb format..how?anyone?
[17:33] <Gnea> !repeat | BunTai
[17:33] <taub> thx
[17:33] <bazhang> BunTai, get realplayer from their site
[17:33] <duiu> TJ13820: You migh have had a corrupted download, check your ISO's md5sum
[17:33] <BunTai> no..for linux..im not repeat..im changing my alphabet
[17:33] <Oli``> taub: but chat.eu.freenode.net is the official geodns EU address
[17:34] <TJ13820> duiu i went through 5 CD's from 5 dfifferent mirrors.
[17:34] <bazhang> BunTai, there is a linux version.
[17:34] <BunTai> ok
[17:34] <BunTai> brb
[17:34] <TJ13820> i also get an ACPI=Force upon load
[17:34] <duiu> TJ13820: Did you checksum any of them?
[17:34] <TJ13820> as it is a 1999 machine
[17:34] <Gnea> BunTai: you asked the same thing 3 times within 1 screenfull. changing a letter here and there doesn't change anything.
[17:34] <TJ13820> duiu they are all good
[17:35] <duiu> TJ13820: How much RAM does the laptop have?
[17:35] <TJ13820> not a laptop
[17:35] <TJ13820> a server
[17:35] <BunTai> ok.sorry
[17:35] <AlbinoClock> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell laptop with the alternate cd and it says my installation cdrom couldn't be mounted.
[17:35] <taub> i need an EUirc server
[17:35] <duiu> TJ13820: sry, how much RAM does the server have?
[17:35] <taub> it is annother network
[17:35] <TJ13820> it is a Compaq Proliant ML530 with dual 866Mhz xeons and 1280Mb ram (not allocated to system devices)
[17:35] <test27> how to mount gparted live not using cd?
[17:35] <test27> i want to expand my linux spaces
[17:36] <Oli``> taub: that was my bad - irc.inn.at.euirc.net
[17:36] <TJ13820> and no, it is not "128Mb" is is 2Gb but some is allocated
[17:36] <Lunis> how about this.. is there a kernel parameter to disable ACPI Trip points or ACPI in general, so I can attempt to debug the machine?
[17:36] <Oli``> taub: or webchat.euirc.net or irc.bas.ch.euirc.net or irc.zur.ch.euirc.net or irc.ber.de.euirc.net
[17:36] <TJ13820> anyone have any idea?
[17:36] <LSD|Ninja> Lunis: noacpi on your kernel line in menu.lst?
[17:37] <duiu> TJ13820: Try booting with the noacpi option
[17:37] <Lunis> LSD|Ninja, I believe that's what I'm looking for, thank you
[17:37] <TJ13820> how do i do that?
[17:37] <Lunis> duiu, and you as well
[17:37] <j0nr> can anyone advise on unrar usage please?
[17:37] <BlackDesign> Iemand die weet hoe ik in de Gconf-editor het pad opgeef van het custom logo (bij Apps > Panel > Objects
[17:37] <BlackDesign> sry wrong box :)
[17:37] <Lunis> j0nr, unrar e file.rar
[17:37] <koto> is there a way to install the 2.6.27 kernel in hardy? can I just use the intrepid packages?
[17:37] <duiu> TJ13820: There's a boot option button on the main screen (I think it's F6, not sure), add noacpi at the end
[17:37] <duiu> TJ13820: then hit enter
[17:38] <TJ13820> ah
[17:38] <TJ13820> thank you
[17:38] <BlackDesign> Anyone here who knows how I can change the path in Gconf-editor for the custom logo?
[17:38] <LSD|Ninja> koto: probably not a good idea
[17:38] <duiu> BlackDesign: Change it in your system theme icon settings
[17:38] <j0nr> Lunis: i try unrar e file.rar and i am not sure if it is working right as it is asking to overwrite files during the process, which makes me think it is not preserving the directory structure or something? tryinig to drop all files into one directory
[17:38] <koto> LSD|Ninja: but in many bug reports a dev said that we should try this version. but how do I get it?
[17:39] <Lunis> LSD|Ninja, strangely enough, devs closed a bug related to my situation saying to use 2.6.27
[17:39] <Oli``> koto: upgrade to intrepid if you want .27
[17:39] <BlackDesign> duiu, only thing I can change there are all the icons... I have the Icons I want , just not the menu-bar icon on the top left
[17:39] <Lunis> j0nr, i've always had it preserve dir structure. I'm not sure that you can tell it not to :)
[17:39] <Oli``> koto: that's realistically the only way you'll manage it without breaking everything =)
[17:40] <Lunis> BlackDesign, what you're looking for is an actual icon in your currently selected icon set
[17:40] <j0nr> Lunis: oh. it seems to want to ovevrwrite a fair few files....perhaps thats why i keep reading ppl using the -y to answer yes to everything
[17:40] <j0nr> Lunis: ill give it a whirl. Thanks :)
[17:40] <BlackDesign> Well actually you can change it in the Gconf-editor with "Use custom logo"
[17:40] <BlackDesign> but I can't change the path there
[17:40] <koto> Oli``: is intrepid usable at this point?
[17:40] <shigutso> can you help voting for my idea in brainstorm? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12473/ thanks :)
[17:40] <Lunis> BlackDesign, if you're using Tango, for instance, there is a specific icon in there you change. or at least that's what the theme readme's i've read have said
[17:41] <BlackDesign> and if I go to usr/share/icons, the icons I use are not there
[17:41] <_ba> question on psybnc any ideas what could be causing vhost to use ip versus vhost when connecting to irc?
[17:41] <duiu> BlackDesign: Copy your icons to /usr/share/icons
[17:41] <cryingtux> hello
[17:41] <dinesh_> hi plz tell me how to learn linux as i am a beginner,like what approach to follow,what books and websites to read i will be highly thankful to you
[17:41] <Lunis> BlackDesign, if there's a way to specify it in gconf let me know, that would be epic win
[17:41] <cryingtux> what are Ubuntu backports repos and should they be enabled ?
[17:42] <jepp> i don't know how to export a movie in cinelerra. if i try, the movie is either without video or the video is not shown properly. another problem is the final size of that movie file: 3min length means about 400mb filesize. why is that?
[17:42] <hickop> hi, i can see console-terminus font is installed but i cant select it in any program ? any diea ?
[17:42] <BlackDesign> Lunis, normally its under Apps > Panel > Objects (and then Menu bar or something) There you can normally select use custom icon
[17:42] <Lunis> cryingtux, cool things that get added to newer versions of ubuntu that are cool enough to get added backwards
[17:42] <duiu> dinesh_: Beginning Ubuntu or Beginning Ubuntu Server both have good general linux command-line stuff.
[17:42] <Lunis> BlackDesign, ah nice, i'll try it
[17:42] <BlackDesign> Yeah, and in case you are able to change the path, let me know :p
[17:43] <j0nr> Lunis: nope it definately didn't preserver directory structure.
[17:43] <cryingtux> Lunis: so can i add these repos safely?
[17:43] <j0nr> Lunis: it dumps all contents irrespective of location, all into the current working directory
[17:43] <dinesh_> duiu:i am beginning in ubuntu
[17:43] <Lunis> j0nr, i would look in man unrar then, to see if there's some specific switch
[17:43] <Lunis> j0nr, it's odd though, i'd say, that it doesn't preserve by default
[17:43] <Iradieh> I get a question mark after installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well
[17:43] <AlbinoClock> The answer to my question was "Open and close the CD drive"
[17:43] <AlbinoClock> odd
[17:43] <xyblor> How do I show a list of installed packages using the command-line?
[17:44] <duiu> dinesh_: Those are book titles
[17:44] <Lunis> cryingtux, I would say you can. I've never had problems with backport repos
[17:44] <duiu> xyblor: dpkg -l
[17:44] <Lunis> xyblor, dpkg -l
[17:44] <arvind_khadri> xyblor, dpkg --list
[17:44] <xyblor> lol thanks guys
[17:44] <scor`> hi guys, http://pastebin.com/m733c669d <- any suggestions how to solve this problem?
[17:44] <duiu> xyblor: dpkg -l|grep <search> to search installed packages
[17:44] <j0nr> Lunis: me too... used archive manager in the end... but it would have been nice from command line. ah well
[17:44] <cryingtux> Lunis: i found a full list of repos, i will paste it, can you please look at them and recoomend /drecommend any ?
[17:44] <dinesh_> duiu:please tell me from where i can get these
[17:45] <cryingtux> ! paste
[17:45] <duiu> dinesh_: amazon
[17:45] <Iradieh> Can someone please help me
[17:45] <Iradieh> I get a question mark after installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well
[17:45] <Lunis> cryingtux, just drop the paste in a pm and i'll tell you what i do know, though that may not be much
[17:45] <hide1713> hi. Anyone can tell me use what command to change font in text mode?

[17:46] <bdog> is it possible to increase the ubuntu partition? I am using the windows installed version
[17:46] <Lunis> j0nr, i wonder, were you using free or nonfree unrar?
[17:46] <duiu> dinesh_: No, they're books. You have to buy them at a place that sells books.
[17:46] <duiu> dinesh_: or go to a library
[17:46] <trontonic> nonfree unrar is usually the one that works for me
[17:46] <hide1713> Which command to change and select font in text mode?
[17:46] <brandon__> Hey, i am running fedora 9 right now and i was wondering if anyone could give me some good reasons to switch to ubuntu, i am thinking about it and just need some good reasons thanks
[17:46] <LjL> !english | pistache
[17:46] <j0nr> Lunis:  I just did apt-get unrar
[17:46] <pistache> sorry ljl
[17:47] <Lunis> j0nr, i wonder if unrar-nonfree does the same thing?
[17:47] <dinesh_> duiu:actually i cannot buy these tell me about some website related to linux thanks
[17:47] <Lunis> j0nr, i usually use nonfree, i think
[17:47] <LjL> pistache: (what language is that, anyway?)
[17:47] <djamel> brandon__, : http://polishlinux.org/choose/comparison/?distro1=Ubuntu&distro2=Fedora
[17:47] <hide1713> Plese help me. How to change font in text mode? I mean change font in init 3
[17:48] <dinesh_> duiu:actually i cannot buy these tell me about some website related to linux thanks
[17:48] <RB2> Afternoon all.
[17:48] <AlbinoClock> Installing Ubuntu Alternate on a laptop and I got the following error: "Debootstrap Error Invalid Release file: no valid components."
[17:48] <test27> can i use photoshop cs3 using wine?
[17:48] <jepp> no
[17:48] <bdog> is it possible to increase the ubuntu partition? I am using the windows installed version
[17:48] <pistache> jepp
[17:48] <jepp> test27, wine doesn't support is yet
[17:48] <hateball> test27: check on http://appdb.winehq.org/
[17:48] <AlbinoClock> cs2 works though
[17:48] <duiu> dinesh_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com//
[17:48] <tgpraveen> pls help me how do i format my 500 gb external hdd from fat to ntfs in ubuntu8.04 I DONT WANT TO LOOSE ANY DATA ON IT
[17:49] <tgpraveen> ?
[17:49] <duiu> tgpraveen: that's not possible, unless you copy the data off, format it, and copy it back
[17:49] <hide1713> How to change font in text mode? Thanks
[17:49] <j0nr> Lunis: how would i ensure i was using nonfree?
[17:49] <jepp> test27, maybe you can use cinelerra
[17:49] <charlespeng> some one said
[17:49] <tgpraveen> in winodows xp i heard itspossible
[17:49] <jepp> and we can help each other
[17:49] <RB2> I ran into a problem and had to boot into Recovery Mode and have it Fix X. Now, I'm back to the old problem (that was fixed with an update) where the window headers disappear when I enable Compiz instead of Metacity
[17:49] <trontonic> tgpraveen: it is possible in Windows XP. It _might_ be possible in gparted, but I think duiu is right.
[17:49] <duiu> tgpraveen: and ubuntu doesn't format to NTFS, you can only use windows
[17:50] <BlackDesign> Lunis, where you able to change the path?
[17:50] <djamel> tgpraveen, you WILL loose the data if you do that :)
[17:50] <test27> cinelerra? what is this? is it like wine?
[17:50] <hide1713> Hi. Is there any command in ubuntu could setup font like slackware?
[17:50] <jepp> test27, that is a semiprofessional video editing tool.
[17:51] <tgpraveen> oh darn so even if i am ready to loose the data i cant format to ntfs frm ubutnu right?
[17:51] <scor`> http://paste.ubuntu.com/41919/ <- any suggestions how to solve it?
[17:51] <hide1713> I googled. Is there any command could reset my console font?
[17:51] <test27> owww
[17:51] <secp> is there a softphone that you can playback MOH audio with sip foundry available on Linux? I dont want to change the SIP server because of MOH.
[17:51] <arvind_khadri> tgpraveen, use gparted
[17:51] <duiu> tgpraveen: I believe so, just hijack someone else's Windows computer
[17:51] <jepp> test27: http://cinelerra.org/
[17:51] <trontonic> tgpraveen: now, why would you want to format to ntfs while using Ubuntu? If you want to format to ntfs for using the disk in Windows, why not change from FAT to NTFS in Windows?
[17:51] <brettley> when installing ubuntu with windows vista and windows XP installed all on 1 harddrive, GRUB doesnt see windows XP, is there a reason why?
[17:52] <Rakeer> Does it see windows vista?
[17:52] <brettley> yah
[17:52] <Rakeer> DAMN.
[17:52] <brettley> ?
[17:52] <Rakeer> well, that stopped my joke..
[17:52] <dinesh_> duiu:thanks for the advise is this perfectly suitable for beginners
[17:52] <test27> ohhh yeah when using windows xp on virtualboxover linux can i play some games like crysis?
[17:52] <Iradieh> I get a question mark after reboot when installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well
[17:52] <hide1713> Please tell me how to change font in text mode? Is there any package ?
[17:52] <Oli``> brettley: because Windows has its own bootloader and Vista eats XPs when it installs and puts an entry in it in its own loader. So point it at vista and it should give you the option of selecting XP
[17:53] <Oli``> brettley: that's assuming you stuck Vista on after XP
[17:53] <Rakeer> brettley^^^
[17:53] <jepp> test27: http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3#download
[17:53] <Rakeer> and if not, you may have to add a line into grub...
[17:53] <brettley> Oli``: vista was already there and XP ate vistas bootloader
[17:53] <Rakeer> lol
[17:53] <nich^> hide1713: try "consolechars"
[17:54] <Oli``> brettley: so before grub came along, you had a bootloader giving you the choice of XP or Vista?
[17:54] <brettley> no
[17:54] <fivre> if I have a PC with two NICs, can I make a setup such that one's plugged into the wall, and the other is plugged into my laptop, but for all intents and purposes it's like they're both plugged into the wall?
[17:54] <brettley> i could boot to vista only
[17:54] <brettley> because i restored the bootloader with an OEM disk
[17:54] <user01> i cant seem to see video on the reuters website
[17:54] <user01> i get audio though
[17:54] <Rakeer> so...xp isnt there to any system, let alone one that will report it to grub
[17:54] <Lunis> j0nr, nonfree is called unrar-nonfree i think
[17:54] <Lunis> BlackDesign, let me look now
[17:55] <BlackDesign> Lunis, ok ;)
[17:55] <brettley> Rakeer: wouldnt XP alteast report to grub?
[17:55] <Oli``> brettley: oh okay. Well try pointing grub at the respective partitions manually then. You'll need to work out which partitions they are exactly, but here are the rough instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[17:56] <Rakeer> xp is sort of in...purgatory...
[17:56] <Oli``> brettley: you don't need to bother with LiveCD jazz if you're already in ubuntu
[17:56] <Rakeer> not really ther,e not really dead...
[17:56] <brettley> what if i pulled the harddrive that had each OS on it until i was ready to boot with ubuntu? would it see all of the OS's then?
[17:56] <brettley> like, have vista on 1
[17:56] <brettley> then pull that one
[17:56] <brettley> then install winXP on another
[17:56] <Rakeer> you could probably run a repair install on vista and see if it finds it again...
[17:57] <brettley> i did run repair, and it only had winxp
[17:57] <brettley> er vista
[17:57] <johnmatrix> i just installed opera 9.5 deb.. but i cant find an icon anywhere to launch it? am i missing a step here?
[17:57] <shiloh7> repair on vista, ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:57] <Rakeer> hmm, I would remove linux and vista drive, run xp repair install
[17:57] <brettley> ohh then re-install vista?
[17:57] <user01> how do i figure out what video codec www.reuters.com is using?
[17:57] <brettley> er
[17:57] <brettley> put the drive back in :P
[17:57] <Oli``> brettley: I did a while back. It's a PITA but it works. Made even more useful if your BIOS has a nice priority switching doobrey (I can press F8 on bios load and it'll let me change which disk it'll try first)
[17:57] <Rakeer> then, run a vista repair with vista and xp drive up, so they bot are on the boot loader, then hook up grub
[17:58] <tyg13> is there any way to get a wired 360 controller hooked up to Hardy?
[17:58] <rubyat> user01: I think reuters is using flash.
[17:58] <Oli``> user01: it's flash. so FLV of some variant
[17:59] <user01> rubyat, weird because youtube working fine for me but not reuters
[17:59] <brettley> Oli``: i DO have a gigabyte board that lets me select witch loads first on one PC, but the swapping of harddrives would only work on a desktop, im talking about a dell lappy :)
[17:59] <brettley> even more suck
[18:00] <Grenyaris> Quick Question...if I futzed the USB driver, how do I get a fresh one installed?
[18:00] <user01> Oli``, i cant seem to get video to work on it and i have adobe flashplayer installed
[18:00] <Oli``> brettley: usually installing XP, then Vista, then Ubuntu would be the perfect setup (if you needed all three). I'd expect the Vista bootloader to eat XP's but add an antry for XP in its own. And then Ubuntu to eat Vista's but add an antry for it on its own.
[18:00] <brettley> Rakeer: i have tried runing the repair while windows XP had the bootloader, it didnt work worth squat
[18:00] <Rakeer> why would you repair if it was working...
[18:01] <brettley> Oli``: the problem is, i need vista pre instaled
[18:01] <Rakeer> Oli: right I just suggested him to do that...
[18:01] <brettley> i cant loose the info thats on that partition
[18:01] <Oli``> Rakeer: sorry I'm all over the place =)
[18:01] <Rakeer> hehe
[18:01] <Rakeer> I know, it's early...
[18:01] <Rakeer> and late
[18:01] <Rakeer> it's latearly
[18:01] <Oli``> brettley: have you tried just adding a new entries to grub pointing right at the Windows partitions?
[18:02] <Rakeer> ^^^ see thats what I said
[18:02] <brettley> yes
[18:02] <Rakeer> but it got lost in the storm
[18:02] <brettley> but it gave me a funky eror
[18:02] <katsuodo> Hello
[18:02] <Oli``> which error brettley?
[18:02] <Rakeer> windows xp /sda1/windows/ or whatev?
[18:02] <brettley> Oli``: something about memory or something
[18:02] <katsuodo> I am having a issue with evolution mail client
[18:03] <rambo3> Grenyaris, what do you mean?
[18:03] <xbxb|afk> How can I see the date/time a file was created? in gnome I only see "modified" and "last accessed"...
[18:03] <Rakeer> brettley: remebering what errors say are key...to success
[18:03] <jrib> xbxb|afk: impossible.  ext3 does not store that information
[18:03] <xbxb|afk> jrib: why is that? and are there any file systems that store that information?
[18:03] <sauvin> dmesg on hardy heron prints each message in the form [digits] message. What are these digits?
[18:03] <user01> Oli``, can you see the video here?  http://www.reuters.com/news/video
[18:03] <Oli``> brettley: did you add the chainloader +1 argument to the grub entry?
[18:04] <Oli``> user01: yep
[18:04] <jrib> xbxb|afk: I don't know the answer to either of those
[18:04] <dinesh_> rakbeer: i really tried hard but unable to run wireless network on my laptop i am having vista premium as the other os
[18:04] <brettley> Oli``: what is that supposed to do?
[18:04] <xbxb|afk> thanks though, jrib
[18:04] <pistache> user01 : yes I can
[18:04] <user01> Oli``, is it flash?
[18:04] <dres> xbxb|afk: stat <file>
[18:04] <Oli``> brettley: sets it up for another bootloader (iirc)
[18:04] <Oli``> user01: yup
[18:04] <test27> hey how to create new partition on linux?
[18:04] <Bliepo> test27, use gparted
[18:04] <brettley> Oli``: it WAS when vista had boot loader, so im thinking it was looking for a bootloader that wasnt there, and im thinking that if i can make the vista partition hidden while it has a bootloader, winXP can take a bootloader without removing vistas bootloader and then ubuntu can recognize both of them
[18:04] <test27> i have used gparted and created one but i cant write on it
[18:04] <user01> Oli``, not sure how i will troubleshoot it then
[18:05] <Bliepo> did you mount it?
[18:05] <test27> please help me
[18:05] <test27> yeah
[18:05] <rubyat> xbxb|afk: ina terminal ls -la will show you date/time
[18:05] <Oli``> test27: use gparted. you've already been told =)

[18:08] <leftyfb> I'm having Nvidia problems. All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775
[18:08] <Bliepo> But I am still having my wireless problem. For over a week now, and nobody has been able to help me fix it. My wireless still disseapears. When I boot, it works fine. Then suddenly, it stops working and dissappears from the network manager.
[18:08] <brettley> Oli``: WHAT IF i have my vista instalation there, but i leave it alone, then i install XP and steal the bootloader, then install AONOTHER copy of vista? would that cause them all to show up?
[18:08] <Oli``> brettley: the vista bootloader won't find Ubuntu
[18:09] <FicaBlok38> my ubuntu 8.04.1 doesn`t see my camcorder
[18:09] <Bliepo> Anyway, details can be found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903875
[18:09] <user01> grrrr i have no idea if it is flash why youtube works fine but reuters does not for me
[18:09] <FicaBlok38> camcorder is connected via firewire
[18:09] <brettley> Oli``: i noww, and after all of that i install ubuntu
[18:09] <brettley> know*
[18:09] <Bliepo> But can somebody please help me?
[18:10] <brettley> Oli``: BUT will the vista that i install 2nd see both of the other windows instalations?
[18:10] <Oli``> one sec brettley
[18:10] <user01> Oli``, should i try a reinstall of flashplayer plugin?
[18:11] <BotLobsta> so i woke up this morning and i found that i had a kernel panic sometime overnight.  Are there any logs or any other messages that are saved that can help me determine what happened?
[18:11] <ben34> what language would people recommend to learn first for multi platform gui applications, i know php well
[18:11] <brettley> Oli``: kai

[18:11] <fam> hi folks, in order to improve X-11 forwaring i installed NX_CLIENT from nomachine homepage ... how do i use nx ????
[18:11] <trontonic> Bliepo: you could try this: 1. shut down network manager 2. shut down avahi 3. kill any dhclient, dhclient3 or similar that might be running, 4. Find the network you wish to connect to with: iwlist wlan0 scanning, 5. select the network with: iwconfig wlan0 essid , 6. Get a new ip address with dhclient wlan0
[18:11] <leftyfb> I'm having Nvidia problems. All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775. Can someone help me with it please?
[18:11] <trontonic> Bliepo: then install and use "wavemon" to ensure that the signal is strong
[18:11] <Oli``> user01: do other flash sites work for you?
[18:12] <user01> Oli``, yes
[18:12] <Oli``> user01: which version of Flash are you using?
[18:12] <Oli``> user01: and which browser?
[18:12] <FicaBlok38> any idea?
[18:12] <brettley> Oli``: i know how to get that part working, but i can never get ubuntu to see my XP instalation
[18:12] <Bliepo> allright. This is the most usefull reply yet
[18:13] <gilligan_> dpkg -l
[18:13] <user01> Oli``, firefox 3.0.1  adobe flash 9.0.124
[18:13] <Oli``> brettley: you don't need it to. just get ubuntu seeing vista and then get vista to see xp
[18:13] <brettley> so much for having 1 boot menu
[18:14] <Oli``> brettley: I'm just aiming for something that works at the moment =)
[18:14] <trontonic> Bliepo: people are all on equal footing here, so some may hesitate to be useful for the sake of being useful, not for the interest of helping someone
[18:14] <brettley> Oli``: i know haha
[18:14] <trontonic> Bliepo: feel free to ask questions if I was unclear, btw :)
[18:14] <johnmatrix> i downloaded opera deb file and installed it... but theres no icons anywhere to launch it?
[18:15] <Bliepo> trontonic: Don worry, I will ;)
[18:15] <brettley> Oli``: the problem is i can never get vista to see my XP instalations
[18:15] <Oli``> brettley: technically speaking that tutorial looks like it will give you just one bootloader: Vista's. try playing with EasyBCD and see where that takes you
[18:15] <trontonic> johnmatrix: alt+f2, opera
[18:16] <BlueKoala> p0l
[18:16] <user01> Oli``, it only seems to be reuters i think
[18:16] <trontonic> johnmatrix: you might have to install a package named something with "menu" in order for it to appear on the menu
[18:16] <FicaBlok38> does anybody have camcoder?
[18:16] <trontonic> johnmatrix: also, it depends on which windowmanager you are using
[18:16] <Oli``> user01: you don't have anything like flashblock or noscript installed?
[18:16] <FicaBlok38> DV Camcorder
[18:16] <johnmatrix> trontonic: redownloaded and reinstalled and it worked.. odd
[18:17] <brettley> Oli``: when i use EasyBCD it wants winXP to go on C:/ drive but winXP is installed in E:\ drive
[18:17] <user01> Oli``, nope
[18:17] <trontonic> johnmatrix: odd, perhaps it was a delay in the menu-update-function-thingy?
[18:18] <quentusrex> how do I check which users are allowed to run sudo?

[18:20] <chrisdown> Hey guys, does anyone know how to get my drives so that Windows will recognise them?
[18:20] <test27> can i act as root using my own account? like modifying filesystem files?
[18:20] <quentusrex> how do I find out who is in a group?
[18:20] <brettley> chrisdown: harddrives or CD drives?
[18:20] <trontonic> chrisdown: colinux, andlinux, ext2fs or run Windows virtualized and set up samba
[18:20] <chrisdown> hard-drives, i presume cd drives should be ok out of the box?
[18:20] <Oli``> brettley: ah!
[18:21] <brettley> Oli``: im guessing you found out whats rong?
[18:21] <leftyfb> I'm having Nvidia problems. All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775. Can someone help me with it please?
[18:21] <RB2> I installed a TV tuner card driver and it hosed X. So, I used recovery mode and had it fix X. Worked great, but now whenever I enable the NVidia driver, it comes up and says it cannot detect my HW. Any suggestions?
[18:21] <quentusrex> How do I cat a groups users? I want to find out which users are in a particular group.
[18:22] <chrisdown> trontonic - leftyfb - did you use glx or glx-new?
[18:22] <Oli``> brettley: looks like there have to be some of XP's files present on the bootloadering partition for it to work (HORRIBLE!) http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Windows+XP and http://www.pronetworks.org/forum/about90450.html
[18:22] <xbxb|afk> dres: stat <file> doesn't show date of creation either
[18:22] <tensei> is there anyway to turn off the auto anchoring non-maximized windows do to the 4 edges of the desktop in ubuntu 8.04?
[18:22] <Grenyaris> chrisdown, in windows, use a program like "Ext2IFS" to read Linux Files Systems...
[18:22] <RB2> tensei, with Compiz enabled?
[18:22] <tensei> RB2: I'm sorry, I don't know what Compiz is.
[18:22] <brettley> Oli``: yuck
[18:22] <leftyfb> chrisdown: That information is at the very top of the "related information" link I posted
[18:22] <chrisdown> Grenyaris - the problem is i get a STOP error at windows and i have to run CHKDSK /R, but i can't do this when it's linux off a vista recovery disc
[18:22] <ortsvorsteher> ! gnome-terminal
[18:23] <RB2> tensei, all the special effects: wobbly windows, etc. etc.
[18:23] <chrisdown> Grenyaris - sorry, i mean a STOP error at xp setup
[18:23] <ortsvorsteher> how can i set backround color to black, an text color to green in gnome terminal?
[18:23] <leftyfb> chrisdown: nvidia-glx-new
[18:23] <Cpudan80> chrisdown: can you boot of an XP CD into the recovery console?
[18:24] <Cpudan80> chrisdown: that *should* have chkdsk
[18:24] <chrisdown> Cpudan80 - yes, but it doesn't recognise my disk.
[18:24] <tensei> RB2: I suppose i have those enabled.. so I guess yes.
[18:24] <chrisdown> Cpudan80 - what do i tell it to format?
[18:24] <chrisdown> *chkdsk
[18:24] <chrisdown> Cpudan80 - what drive letter? i've tried all of them
[18:24] <Cpudan80> chrisdown: perhaps you should join ##windows
[18:24] <ortsvorsteher> how can i set background color to black an text color green for default in gnome-terminal?
[18:24] <Grenyaris> chrisdown: why on earth would you WANT to install Windows?
[18:24] <Cpudan80> chrisdown: it's not really an ubuntu problem
[18:25] <Cpudan80> chrisdown: I'm over there too
[18:25] <chrisdown> Cpudan80 - this is a linux problem, not a windows problem, surely. i am asking how to reset my drives in ubuntu
[18:25] <Cpudan80> what do you mean reset them?
[18:25] <leftyfb> ortsvorsteher: edit - current profile - colors
[18:25] <Grenyaris> I just put windows where it belongs, in a VM...
[18:25] <RB2> tensei, you want to install compizconfig-settings-manager, so in a terminal, put: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:25] <ortsvorsteher> leftyfb: thx, i try
[18:25] <Cpudan80> you want to get rid of ubuntu and isntall windows chrisdown ?
[18:25] <bazhang> chrisdown, using a xp disk?
[18:26] <chrisdown> Cpudan80 bazhang - yes, and yes.
[18:26] <bazhang> chrisdown, /join ##windows
[18:26] <chrisdown> Cpudan80 bazhang - i swear it's purely because wine doesn't run my games and VB ain't working :P
[18:26] <chrisdown> ok.,
[18:26] <Cpudan80> chrisdown: So just run the XP installation off the XP disk -- it will trash Ubuntu
[18:26] <Cpudan80> At least you're installing XP and not Vista
[18:26] <tensei> RB2: done
[18:26] <chrisdown> Cpudan80 - as i said before, i get a STOP error. i need to CHKDSK /R
[18:27]  * chrisdown moves to ##windows
[18:27] <Cpudan80> :-)
[18:27] <Grenyaris> chrisdown, if it is gaming, then I suggest CodeWeavers "CrossOver Linux"
[18:27] <ortsvorsteher> leftyfb: it works, thx :)
[18:27] <Grenyaris> or "CrossOver Games"
[18:27] <Bliepo32> Hello, I am back again
[18:28] <test27> can i act as root?
[18:28] <doon> why is it that even though I did this command: sudo mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/sdc1 /media/sata  <-- it still doesn't let me write to it?
[18:28] <RB2> tensei, now you will have an Item under System > Preferences called "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings".
[18:28] <d4r1os54> hi all
[18:28] <leftyfb> test27: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[18:28] <sebner> does anybody here has vmware (server) running with 2.6.27 kernel?
[18:28] <bazhang> test27, use sudo not root
[18:28] <Bliepo32> doon: Did you try chmodding it?
[18:28] <RB2> tensei, you can control all of the effects from there. It's near the bottom and called "Snapping Windows". You can disable it there
[18:29] <Grenyaris> doon: is the drive partitioned and formatted?
[18:29] <test27> ummm how about not using terminal?
[18:29] <tensei> RB2: who made compizConfig?
[18:29] <bazhang> test27, no.
[18:29] <RB2> tensei, and as a bonus, you get to play with all the effects. :)
[18:30] <leftyfb> test27: what exactly are you trying to do? You should not run X as sudo.
[18:30] <RB2> tensei, probably the compiz guys? Not sure really.
[18:30] <test27> i want to write on my new partition?
[18:30] <bazhang> gksudo for gui apps test27
[18:30] <leftyfb> test27: learn how to mount the partition writeable by users
[18:30] <leftyfb> not run X as root
[18:30] <tensei> RB2: it just seems odd to me that there wouldn't be a preference in the OS that would let you change the effects it does without a 3rd party program..
[18:30] <test27> i just create one partition using gparted and i cant write on it
[18:31] <Grenyaris> "te qic brown fx jumpedoe telzy dg" believe it or not, this is what "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" looks like since something happened to my drivers...any idea how I can fix this?
[18:31] <test27> only root can write
[18:32] <RB2> tensei, I agree it's strange that it does not install by default if you have the HW to support it, but it can be added/removed like any other component of Ubuntu.
[18:32] <leftyfb> test27: not if it's mounted properly.
[18:32] <Grenyaris> USB or KEYBOARD driver replacement?
[18:32] <leftyfb> test27: If the drive is mounted properly, then any user you want can write to ut
[18:32] <leftyfb> it
[18:32] <RB2> How do I go about re-installed my binary driver for NVidia?
[18:32] <test27> no still can't write
[18:32] <leftyfb> test27: it's not mounted properly
[18:32] <RB2> Everytime I enable it, it hoses X
[18:33] <test27> its mount properly
[18:33] <mnemonic76> I need help getting my UMAX Astra USB scanner to work.
[18:33] <RB2> tensei, did that fix your sticky window problem?
[18:33] <leftyfb> test27: it's not, or else you'd be able to write to it
[18:33] <mnemonic76> I read there is a kernel option I need to turn off.
[18:33] <Grenyaris> test27: chown and chgrp to make it belong to you...not root
[18:33] <mnemonic76> Something about USB-SUSPEND or something
[18:33] <test27> ohh yeah when i created one there's lost+found folder. is right becoz its locked?
[18:34] <leftyfb> I'm having Nvidia problems. All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775. Can someone help me with it please?

[18:34] <mnemonic76> I tried to follow a howto and hosed the system... something I would like to avoid. I guess I need help re-compiling the current kernel without hosing the current kernel.

[18:40] <tensei> RB2: hey, also, when I open a window it loads in the top left corner of the screen, is there anyway to turn that off so it loads to wherever it was last closed?  you know what I'm saying?
[18:41] <saiki> where does this lead to?: /dev/dvd
[18:41] <RB2> tensei, I've never had that issue before. Hmmmm....
[18:41] <ou7f4ll3r> hi I have a minor problem: after installing updates yesterday my ubuntu looks kinda like windows classic theme.
[18:41] <RB2> lol
[18:41] <alessandro_> ciao
[18:42] <tensei> rb2: well for example, when I open up x-chat, it grips the top and left border, it remembers what size i normally have the window.  all applications i open except the finder do that
[18:42] <brk3> is there any way to connect to a wpa network from the command line so at least i can see the error?
[18:42] <bdunlap> i cant execute syslog, i know there is a thing that shows errors like top shows ongoing processes... does anyone know that command?

[18:46] <KoolD> found it thanks guys
[18:46] <prince_jammys> rubyat: at least to set it. you can view it with: echo "$HISTSIZE"
[18:46] <test27> hey guys do you know how to expand filesytem size?
[18:46] <leftyfb> test27: use gparted after being booted to a live cd

[18:56] <kkrusty> but I will install it again
[18:56] <EcoA> i've got ubuntu! i want a dual boot just to try mezzo. Can you help me?? or there is a way to install mezzo in my current Ubuntu version 8.04?
[18:57] <bazhang> !info mezzo
[18:57] <test27> mezzo?

[18:57] <alff21> d
[18:57] <erickvp> does anyone know which bit torrent client works like utorrent for windoze?
[18:58] <leftyfb> erickvp: try frostwire.com
[18:58] <leftyfb> er
[18:58] <leftyfb> sorry
[18:58] <leftyfb> no
[18:58] <EcoA> mezzo is a desktop environment and uses FVWM as a window manager.
[18:58] <leftyfb> sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent
[18:58] <xicubed__> anyone explain at a high level why i can connect wirelessly if i disable wpa2 but not otherwise?
[18:58] <test27> is it like emerald?
[18:58] <erickvp> frostwire cool thanx i figure best to ask lol i tried a few but he couldn't work it lol
[18:59] <leftyfb> I meant deluge
[18:59] <leftyfb> frostwire is like limewire
[18:59] <leftyfb> deluge is a torrent client
[18:59] <erickvp> im initiating someone that don't even know windose lol
[18:59] <leftyfb> then they shouldn't be using "advanced" torrent clients
[19:00] <erickvp> lol
[19:00] <mika_videodev> I don't know what is mezzo, but that kind of thing is the top reason why many prefer windows instead of linux: linux is a great OS, as long as you are happy with those apps included in your distro (so they are easy to "sudo aptitude install appname"). But as soon as you want to run some app that is NOT part of your distro, you begin to see what's wrong with today's linux distros (this *could* be corrected with the correct attitude !), so it is
[19:00] <mika_videodev>  NOT a fundamental error in linux, it is just bad decisions when implementing ...
[19:00] <leftyfb> stick with transmission which comes with ubuntu 8.04
[19:00] <erickvp> im tired of fixin his stuff lol
[19:00] <vexati0n> problem with nvidia driver - installs and runs every time, but i have to reinstall it every time i reboot. wtf?
[19:00] <Rakeer> some shut that flop up
[19:00] <bazhang> mika_videodev, interesting; please come to #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[19:00] <mika_videodev> erickvp: i don't konw, but I used KTorrent to download my KUbuntu 7.10 install DVD
[19:01] <windmill> this is odd I've got a .profile on one laptop (a fresh install) the other (upgraded from gutsy) hasn't got it!
[19:01] <erickvp> cool
[19:01] <bazhang> Rakeer, what is that
[19:01] <leftyfb> mika_videodev: if he's not already running KDE, then installing KDE applications is asking for more resources/potential problems then is needed. Especially for someone with pre-existing issues.
[19:02] <prince_jammys> windmill: ~/.profile is a user's account profile. it doesn't have to exist. if you don't have it, your PATH is just the system-wide PATH.
 I have used kwrite and kate even when my desktop is not KDE but icewm
[19:03] <leftyfb> mika_videodev: I didn't say it wasn't possible
[19:03] <windmill> prince_jammys, ok cool, so where is the system wide path set?
[19:03] <prince_jammys> windmill: in ubuntu, i think it is set by the 'login' binary
[19:04] <juninhoguitarr_L> #ubuntu-br
[19:04] <windmill> prince_jammys, so it's hard coded in the binary and not changeable?
[19:04] <prince_jammys> windmill: change your PATH in ~/.profile by creating the file
[19:04] <wols_> windmill: it's not hardcoded. and there is no system wide path
[19:04] <wols_> prince_jammys: no need to create it
[19:05] <prince_jammys> wols_: huh?
[19:05] <windmill> prince_jammys, wols_, surely there must a way to set the system wide default?
[19:05] <prince_jammys> /etc/profile
[19:05] <wols_> prince_jammys: every user has ~/.profile
[19:05] <prince_jammys> wols_: he says he doesn't
[19:05] <windmill> wols_, I haven't
[19:06] <wols_> then how did he create his user?
[19:06] <wols_> see /etc/skel/
[19:06] <ir2> good day, i have a problem with ubuntu, could you please help me???
[19:06] <windmill> wols_, at install
[19:06] <Apurva_C> sure ir2, i could help you
[19:07] <ir2> no, it was when i was terying to install the restricted extras
[19:07] <windmill> wols_, there is a .profile in /etc/skel/
[19:08] <windmill> wols_, but I don't have one in my home directory
[19:08] <ir2> i typoed this "$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[19:08] <wols_> windmill: then copy over the one from /etc/skel/ and adjust ownerships
[19:08] <windmill> wols_, prince_jammys, I suppose it could have been deleted at some stage
[19:08] <wols_> windmill: and check for the other files from skel in your ~ too
[19:09] <ir2> “E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem.
[19:09] <ir2> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.”
[19:09] <windmill> wols_, ok cool I'll do that but how is my path getting set currently?
[19:09] <leftyfb> ir2: did you run what it said to correct the problem?
[19:10] <windmill> wols_, there must be a system default somewhere or it wouldn't get set
[19:10] <wols_> windmill: grep PATH ~/.*
[19:10] <prince_jammys> windmill: man login says that login checks your entry in /etc/passwd and sets the PATH variable accordingly
[19:10] <leftyfb> I'm having Nvidia problems. All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775. Can someone help me with it please?
[19:11] <windmill> wols_, nothing, it returns nothing.
[19:11] <prince_jammys> windmill: if you HAD to (why?) change the system-wide path for bash, you would do it in /etc/profile, which bash sources on startup.
[19:12] <prince_jammys> s/startup/login/
[19:12] <ir2> ok, it throws me this: "Escriba dpkg --help para ayuda sobre instalar y desinstalar paquetes [*];

[19:13] <Aquahallic_> afternoon folks
[19:13] <Bliepo> I have another problem: Firefox wants to dowload php files. How do I set it back to normal?
[19:13] <leftyfb> ir2: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[19:13] <prince_jammys> windmill: well, they are apparently set by /bin/login, which in turn runs bash if that is your users shell, when you log in.
[19:14] <leftyfb> Bliepo: close firefox and open it again
[19:14] <windmill> prince_jammys, the /etc/profile file just seems to look for things on the profile.d directory
[19:14] <Aquahallic_> after an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 I also upgraded my ati to radeon driver and now when I start compiz it goes white screen... I've seen all kinds of stuff out there but I can't seem to run this one down
[19:14] <wols_> Bliepo: your own server?
[19:14] <Bliepo> leftyfb: that doesn fix it
[19:14] <leftyfb> Bliepo: then it's a server-side problem
[19:14] <prince_jammys> windmill: which is empty here. 'man login'
[19:14] <Bliepo> wols_: no, not my own server
[19:14] <wols_> Bliepo: then that server is misconfigured
[19:15] <TD-Linux> hmm, my iwl3945 wireless seems to have died
[19:15] <TD-Linux> for no apparent reason at all
[19:15] <Bliepo> leftyfb: could be, I will try another host
[19:15] <AeronTS> anyone here using XChat-Gnome?  I'm trying to ignore a user on another server and the command -> "/ignore kuzetsa!*@* all" isn't working
[19:15] <TD-Linux> restart doesn't fix, nor does power-off and boot
[19:15] <AeronTS> it's saying the person was ignored, then a few moments later the person's messages are showing back up in the main window
[19:15] <erickvp> that frostwires cool,loaded up quik,works good
[19:15] <hatoon> server irc.freenode.net
[19:16] <mano> hey all... how can i disable all native gnome animations on minimize and resize actions?
[19:16] <leftyfb> lol
[19:16] <ir2> ok now it throws me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41944/ sorry, this is my first aproach tu linux
[19:16] <Bliepo> allright, that server indeed seems to be misconfigured
[19:16] <xyblor> If I'm on Gutsy, can I download and install a single package from Intrepid?
[19:16] <TD-Linux> hmm eth1 is there... just no networks detected ?
[19:16] <Bliepo> But as wols_ probably might remember, I am still having problems with my wireless
[19:16] <leftyfb> ir2: sorry, I don't read spanish
[19:16] <TD-Linux> xyblor, yes
[19:16] <basd> Hello all. I am trying to delete a file from my Windows partition while I'm booted into Ubuntu. Although Ubuntu automatically mounts that drive, when I attempt to delete files, I get an error message saying that drive is "read-only". I tried right-clicking on the drive and changing the permissions to "read-write", but I get a message saying that i'm not allowed to set that permission. The question is: how can I set my windows partition to be rea
[19:16] <leftyfb> ir2: if you want help with error messages in spanish, please go to #ubuntu-es
[19:16] <TD-Linux> xyblor, but often that package will depend on a bunch of other intrepid packages, so be careful
[19:16] <ir2> ok thanks
[19:17] <LjL> ir2: you haven't typed "dpkg --configure -a", you've typed something else.
[19:17] <bazhang> xyblor, no
[19:17] <setkeh> hey guys i have started a linux podcast for itunes to combat the windows podcasts i was wondeing if a ubuntu developer or senior member would like to be a special guest to the pod casts
[19:17] <mano> where are animations located on gconf-editor?
[19:17] <erickvp> basd just log in as root then do your thing
[19:17] <bazhang> setkeh, come to #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:17] <leftyfb> setkeh: try #ubuntu-us

[19:18] <Frederickrabbit> Can anyone help?  Compiz-Check will not work because it detected more than one graphics card.  must be oem and my radeon 7200 that I want to use.
[19:18] <basd> erickvp: I think I am logged in as root...I only have one account on my Ubuntu installation...is there something I might be missing?
[19:18] <leftyfb> mano: install compizconfig-settings-manager and use that.
[19:18] <windmill> prince_jammys, I see what you mean the man page says that path is set by the login program according to passwd file but in my passwd entry the path isn't there
[19:19] <Rammy> Hi, I'm having trouble installing the xserver-xgl package. Apparrently I need it for desktop effects. SPM is telling me it's installed, but relogging and typing 'compiz' in the terminal is reporting it not being present.
[19:19] <mano> KoolD, leftyfb not compiz... gnome animations... when you minimize a windows there is a border animation thats bothering me...
[19:19] <wols_> Rammy: what videocard do you have?
[19:19] <Rammy> An 8800GT
[19:19] <erickvp> lemme think,im kinda disabled at the moment lol
[19:19] <Rammy> It doesn't appear to be blacklisted.
[19:19] <wols_> Rammy: you don't need xserver-xgl. in fact it's harmful. pastebin the output of glxinfo
[19:20] <basd> how does one log in as root? Is there a special user name like "Administrator" or such??
[19:20] <erickvp> it don't ask for a password it just says no
[19:20] <cwill747> basd: you don't want to log in as root
[19:20] <wols_> basd: you can't and you shouldn't ever do it. use sudo
[19:20] <syntax_> oi
[19:20] <basd> ok
[19:20] <syntax_> Alguem do Brasil
[19:20] <zykes-> anyone here know if xen 3.3 will be backported to heron?
[19:20] <cwill747> wols_: well actually you can... but you still shouldn't do it.
[19:20] <wols_> !br | syntax_
[19:21] <basd> wols_: so how can I use sudo to unlock my windows partitions so I can delete files from it?
[19:21] <wols_> cwill747: you can't. and one doesn't tell people how to enable it in here
[19:21] <Bliepo> Aet
[19:21] <Bliepo> Are the ubuntu forums down or something? Cannot connect to them...
[19:21] <wols_> basd: you can't. you mount the windows partitions properly
[19:21] <Rammy> I don't need it? All the places I've found by googling have recommended installing this package. Hold up, I'll grab a pastebin of that info.
[19:21] <erickvp> eh it helps to be in godmode to work the tools how you want lol
[19:21] <syntax_> Obrigado
[19:21] <wols_> !ntfs3g > basd
[19:21] <Bliepo> nevermind, works now
[19:21] <zinake> Bliepo: i was on them a few minutes ago
[19:21] <bazhang> Bliepo, working here
[19:21] <erickvp> otherwise you could use that knoppix live cd thats great for fixits
[19:22] <Lunis> gah!
[19:22] <Bliepo> @zinake and bazhang: it is working now
[19:22] <Lunis> even with the noacpi kernel param the system still shuts down before it even boots
[19:23] <Frederickrabbit> Anyone know how to disable a graphics card that is not being used?
[19:23] <basd> wols_: thank you...is this driver preinstalled? If not, can I get it from synaptic?
[19:23] <wols_> basd: read the factoid more carefully
[19:23] <basd> wols_:ok, thank you
[19:23] <prince_jammys> windmill: cat /etc/environment
[19:23] <Rammy> There you go, wols_: http://pastebin.com/d79b78aa1
[19:24] <wols_> !nvidia | Rammy
[19:24] <Lunis> so to restate the problem: woke up this morning, laptop was off. tried to start it several times but each time it shut down because of a supposed critical temp of 95C. the laptop is literally cold to the touch (cold day today) and has been much, much hotter before with no problems. the shutdown happens before the system even really begins loading. using noacpi doesn't help
[19:25] <wols_> Lunis: is it suddenly stopping/shutting off?
[19:25] <windmill> prince_jammys, Ahhhhh   that's what I was looking for.  Thanks. I wonder when this get's read
[19:26] <Rammy> Apparently I don't need restricted drivers, wols_
[19:26] <wols_> Rammy: wrong
[19:26] <prince_jammys> windmill: go to #bash, and once in the channel, type: /msg greybot dotfiles
[19:26] <bbq^> Lunis, sounds like a Bios warning is preventing it damaging itself
[19:26] <Bliepo> Just a question: Might they be able to help me with my wireless on the debian channel?
[19:26] <wols_> Rammy: restricted drivers are the only way to get 3D accell for your card. no other way
[19:26] <prince_jammys> windmill: that will give you a link to a full description of what happens in debian/ubuntu login.
[19:26] <Lunis> wols_, yep. even in recovery mode, before it can drop me to a root shell
[19:26] <wols_> Bliepo: only if you run debian. ubuntu is not debian
[19:26] <romme> how do i automatically reconfigure and reinstall grub after my partition table has changed and my MBR replaced with vista bootloader?
[19:27] <wols_> Lunis: hardware based. ie BIOS setting or even hardwired
[19:27] <windmill> prince_jammys, Thanks alot you've been very helpful
[19:27] <Lunis> bbq^, it is possible that there's a bios issue, however there's likely no damage involved
[19:27] <Rammy> Well, the restricted drivers manager is telling me I don't need them. Is there a way to force this in the terminal?
[19:27] <notwist> romme: reinstall grub? not sure
[19:27] <wols_> !grub | romme
[19:27] <prince_jammys> windmill: welcome. tricky, huh?
[19:27] <wols_> romme: nothing automatic about it
[19:27] <bbq^> yea Lunis thats what i mean mate, perhaps disconnect the battery for a few hours and leave it to run down... clear cmos and try again
[19:27] <windmill> prince_jammys, yeah, it's crazy complicated
[19:27] <wols_> romme: what ubuntu version?
[19:28] <Lunis> bbq^, alright, i'll try that
[19:28] <Bliepo> Then can you help me? Because I was running a little server, and my clients are getting impatient
[19:28] <Frederickrabbit> Hello, I read FAQ on desktop effects and tried Compiz-Check I just get an error because more than one graphics card is being detected, what should I do?
[19:28] <romme> wols_: 8.04, i'm inside Ubuntu right now
[19:28] <wols_> Rammy: what ubuntu version
[19:29] <wols_> romme: sorry. wrong nick complete
[19:29] <Rammy> 7.10
[19:29] <Aquahallic_> are some of the repos down?
[19:29] <bbq^> yea, today i had similar problems with my desktop Lunis, I pulled my pc apart, cleaned the dust out... Kept freezing and shutting down while installing openSuse.... It has not missed a beat since, so i think thats a starting point. Especially if you are leaving the lappy on for long periods of time
[19:29] <wols_> Rammy: upgrade to 8.04 if the 7.10 nvidia driver doesn't support your card
[19:29] <Bliepo> Anyway, anyone sho wants to help me could just leave a reply at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903875. It contains all the information you need, and it would be of great help.
[19:29] <Bliepo> *sho = who
[19:30] <bbq^> Bliepo, i will have a read see if i can help
[19:30] <dingodeege> hi
[19:30] <Bliepo> bbq^: thank you
[19:30] <wols_> Bliepo: you run customers (!) on a usb rt2500 wlan stick?
[19:31] <Bliepo> wols_: I don have many customers. So yes.. I know it is... unadvisable
[19:31] <test27> where i can download for EOG plugin?
[19:31] <wols_> Bliepo: your whole hardware park is, *unmentionable". via based mobo...
[19:31] <bbq^> Have u tried manually adding a new connection ? Oh i see the problem is the usb wifistick is not being recognized
[19:31] <csa3d> anyone tell me what I need to look into to override the speed of my fans on my Dell laptop?
[19:31] <windmill> prince_jammys, so it's PAM that reads it.... interesting
[19:32] <Bliepo> nah, it doesn work that way
[19:32] <bbq^> Bliepo, i have had similar issues with my lappy. Does yours have inbuilt by any chance ?
[19:32] <prince_jammys> windmill: right
[19:32] <Rammy> Thanks wols_, I'll upgrade to 8.04 and let you know how I go.
[19:32] <prince_jammys> windmill: that's a debian thing
[19:32] <Bliepo> I just give them my ip, Im don even have a domain name
[19:32] <Cmoi`> Wesh #ubuntu :)
[19:33] <Bliepo> bbq^: yes, indeed it does. But that one is 802.11b, wilst my network is 802.11g. Therefore I bought a wireless USB adapter which is 802.11g
[19:33] <AeronTS> i am trying to download something with apt, but can't because apt is already downloading something else.  how can i 'suspend' the first apt task (and resume later)?
[19:33] <Rakeer> Wait for it to complete
[19:33] <bbq^> ah i see, but can't u change your network to g ? I remember reading that g does both a and b
[19:34] <bbq^> or something like that Bliepo
[19:34] <AeronTS> Rakeer: i can't quite do that, i'm on dialup and it's a big file i'm downloading :D
[19:34] <Lunis> amazing how the simple solution is always right, and never thought of until the last minute >.>
[19:34] <erUSUL> AeronTS: crtl + C
[19:34] <alex19910> hi
[19:34] <AeronTS> erUSUL: when i do that, how do i get the first download to start up again?
[19:34] <bbq^> hello alex19910
[19:34] <Bliepo> bbq^: I tried, but my wireless network doesn support it
[19:34] <Lunis> bbq^, pulling the battery and ac cord then hitting the power button to use up what's left of the power in the system fixed it somehow :P
