[14:41] <wols_> replica: everything is there for compiz
[14:41] <Jowi> sandr-, ...and "defrag" package is for ext2 if I'm not mistaken.
[14:41] <sandr-> actually I mean a package to defrag my external NTFS disk
[14:42] <sandr-> or do I need to hook it up to a windows system to do that?
[14:42] <wols_> replica: install compizconfig-settings-manager and any other compiz plugins you want
[14:42] <astro76> Ein_, have you registered?
[14:42] <Ein_> no
[14:42] <astro76> sandr-, I believe you need to use windows, that would be best
[14:42] <jussi01> !register > Ein_
[14:42] <wols_> sandr-: I certainly would use ubuntu for defragging ntfs
[14:42] <astro76> Ein_, check your PM from ubotu
[14:42] <replica> wols_: thx
[14:42] <Ein_> how?
[14:43] <sandr-> maybe it was possible, thx for the answers

[14:43] <|DuReX|> do i need to change my initramfs
[14:43] <ed_> Is Ubuntu much better than Debian? What are the main differences?
[14:43] <brobostigon> i have just installed blogtk, t blog ob blogger, but its asking for a server, what do i use??
[14:43] <astro76> !debian | ed_
[14:43] <ubotu> ed_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[14:43] <billy> wols_, thanks... ill give it a go
[14:43] <ed_> Thanks.
[14:43] <|DuReX|> do i need to change my initramfs, when i use dmraid ?
[14:44] <ed_> I almost used those once :P
[14:44] <Ein_> thanks... I'll try now
[14:44] <underyx> back now
[14:44] <underyx> wols: It has given another error yesterday, now it says "Compressed BOOTMRG"
[14:44] <wols_> dugbert: dpkg-reconfiguring the kernel package should be enough. but ubuntu might be different
[14:44] <wols_> underyx: windows error
[14:44] <Cnerd> hoe do i format a harddisk?
[14:44] <Cnerd> it is ntfs
[14:44] <Cnerd> :/
[14:45] <f00f> Cnerd, do you want to make it which filesystem
[14:45] <brobostigon> cnerd: gprted
[14:45] <brobostigon> cnerd: gparted
[14:45] <Cnerd> ok
[14:45] <Cnerd> juj
[14:45] <Cnerd> huh
[14:45] <Cnerd> im new :p
[14:45] <g0rb3h> I think the main differances between the distros can be summed up nicely by the maxim under the splash logo, "linux for human beings"
[14:45] <underyx> ouch
[14:45] <Cnerd> its a second disl
[14:45] <Cnerd> so, ext3?
[14:46] <Disastro> has anyone ide how to fix failed to fetch error in feisty to ubuntu update?
[14:46] <f00f> yeah, ext3 is the usual choice.
[14:46] <billy> is there a rename command for linux? or should ijust use mv?
[14:46] <Cnerd> ok, and, how do i use gparted?
[14:46] <Jowi> Disastro, see if another mirror solves the prob
[14:46] <f00f> Cnerd, are you just trying to install linux?
[14:46] <astro76> billy, it's mv
[14:46] <Jowi> !mirror | Disastro
[14:46] <ubotu> Disastro: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low!
[14:46] <Cnerd> no
[14:46] <Cnerd> it is already installed
[14:47] <Jowi> hmmm, that was not what I meant by mirror
[14:47] <Disastro> how i change another mirror in internet update feisty to gutsy?
[14:47] <sandr> hm
[14:47] <Jowi> right, the second link actually list them
[14:48] <f00f> Cnerd, if you don't already have it you need to install it with apt-get install gparted
[14:48] <Ein_> no one there at that room :(
[14:48] <Ein_> any way
[14:48] <irotas> is there any item I can add to the GNOME panel that will notify me when software updates are available?
[14:48] <legosa> Hey
[14:48] <astro76> irotas, it should do that out of the box
[14:48] <Ein_> did any one use Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6?
[14:49] <astro76> irotas, you will see a update manager icon in the notification area when updates are available
[14:49] <Disastro> Jowi: how i change the mirrors
[14:49] <astro76> Ein_, hopefully not
[14:49] <irotas> astro76: hmm, for some reason i've never seen that, but i've certainly used the upgrade manager many times to update my software
[14:49] <xiven> msg NickServ identify d3c8v4
[14:50] <Cnerd> whats the password of root????
[14:50] <irotas> i've got other items in the notification area, just never software update notifications
[14:50] <astro76> !root | Cnerd
[14:50] <ubotu> Cnerd: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[14:50] <Disastro> Jowi: and when i use wget it downloads the packages.gz
[14:50] <astro76> xiven, change your password quickly
[14:50] <xiven> Hey
[14:50] <g0rb3h> lol ubotu =)
[14:50] <xiven> Have you guys fixed the error with Windows Dual-Boot turning off NIC's yet?
[14:50] <billy_> wols_, didn't work :( even after a reboot
[14:50] <irotas> astro76: is there a way I could have turned off such a feature? i'd like to turn it back on :)
[14:51] <astro76> irotas, you could have removed the "notification area" applet from the panel
[14:51] <fairman> Cnerd: it is your password (password which was set for first user)
[14:51] <Ein_> so sad... cuz I want to know what version of Original Ubuntu that Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6 use
[14:51] <irotas> astro76: no, that applet is still there
[14:51] <irotas> astro76: i've got 3 items in notification applet right now
[14:52] <wols_> billy_: grep -r ath /etc/udev/*
[14:52] <love> hai
[14:52] <Jowi> Disastro, you don't need to use wget. use "apt-get -d" to download only from the mirrors.
[14:52] <love> ;
[14:52] <love> ;
[14:52] <love> ;
[14:52] <fairman> Could anybody help me with configuring xorg.conf? I have old nVidia RIVA TNT 2 and i have problem with resolution and openGL support.
[14:52] <Jowi> bbl
[14:52] <Cnerd> how do i instakll gparted, it gives errors: i dont have rights
[14:52] <darksider> can someone help me? when i start up my ubuntu box the login screen's text is huge and i cant see the login forms.
[14:52] <astro76> irotas, in system > admin > software sources, Updates tab, check settings under Automatic updates
[14:52] <f00f> sudo apt-get install gparted
[14:52] <irotas> astro76: now, at one point I *did* delete the notification area applet, but I put it back shortly afterward
[14:52] <Disastro> Jowi: but im updating to gutsy
[14:52] <xiven> Okay
[14:52] <f00f> or if you like guis you can do it through synaptic
[14:52] <Disastro> im confused
[14:53] <xiven> Has there been a fix to Ubuntu being unable to reactivate the NIC, after a reboot from a dual-boot of Windows?
[14:53] <g0rb3h> fairman: I used to have one of them, pastebin me your xorg.conf
[14:53] <billy_> wols_, what does that command do? ive done it and it lists some of the files within the udev directory
[14:53] <tak2> hey there =)
[14:54] <irotas> astro76: it's set to check daily, and to only notify of updates
[14:54] <Cnerd> package gparted is not availeble
[14:54] <astro76> xiven, hmm dunno if that is solvable in linux or not, or if it's a windows issue of not resetting the card properly
[14:54] <irotas> astro76: its always been set like that
[14:54] <astro76> xiven, but shutting down from windows instead of rebooting should work

[14:58] <f00f> meh I might as well see if anyone knows my problem.  This desktop uses an intel i810.  Whenever ubuntu boots I see random characters flashing on the screen instead of the logo, and the text in the console is _huge_.  Everything boots just fine, but I'd like to get the splash problem fixed.
[14:59] <f00f> or could I just disable the boot splash to get a normal console? :)

[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: use gparted
[15:13] <mirak> I have this errors in dmesg, is it bad ?   72.612302] hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: You can also use cli/terminal if you prefer that method
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> x3roconf: What has the link you provided got to do with his question?
[15:15] <x3roconf> ok that link sucked
[15:16] <x3roconf> realized it now lol
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> mirak: THat message does not look good.  was it a one time event or reoccuring

[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mirak: I would make sure I had a backup... not sure if it is a dma issue or a drive failing.. Others are much better at figuring those out
[15:18] <x3roconf> Retro´: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=312196 for e200 but maybe it works
[15:18] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, and yes, i have used gparted to do that, but i don't have the option to format it
[15:18] <andre_> hello all
[15:19] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the filesystem of my device is FAT32
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: you cant format a mounted drive...  umount it and see if it lets you.  What format is the player wanting
[15:19] <fsckr> Retro`, can you delete the partition thats on it?  I had a problem like that as well.  Once i deleted what was originally there and create a partition i was able to format it
[15:19] <fsckr> umm yea can't be mounted :)
[15:19] <fsckr> hehe
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> later people breakfast is ready
[15:21] <xiven> So, what was the status on that bug fix?
[15:22] <foso> can i use beryl and compiz fusion at the same time?
[15:22] <astro76> xiven, you could check on launchpad, or at least give us a link to the bug
[15:23] <astro76> foso, I'm sure you can't
[15:24] <Retro`> oh my god

[15:24] <Retro`> oh shit

[15:25] <charleston> What dose a security vulerability looks like?
[15:25] <jdolan__> there's a quite annoying defect with the version currently available for Gutsty.
[15:25] <foso> how do i make my windows look cooler, i thought that was beryl?
[15:26] <Retro`> i unmounted the device and then formated the drive of the device to FAT32... is there anyway i can restore to previous state?
[15:26] <astro76> foso, compiz fusion, comes with gutsy
[15:26] <charleston> What dose a security vulerability looks like?
[15:26] <x3roconf> don't install latest driver if u have 8800GT it's buggy
[15:26] <andre_> iam new in using ubuntu (7.10) and using gnome...  - before that i used years KDE
[15:26] <andre_> but i have some questions...
[15:26] <jdolan__> x3roconf: how so?  ( i have 8600GT)
[15:26] <Lunar_Lamp> andre_, just ask :-)
[15:26] <foso> astro76 i got it but i dont see what im going for, ill just keep tinkering, thanks
[15:27] <andre_> where can i define how much lines willbe scroll by using the mouse-wheel?
[15:27] <x3roconf> jdolan: fan bug
[15:27] <x3roconf> makes it very noisy
[15:27] <Lunar_Lamp> andre_, I'm not sure you can
[15:27] <daedra> someone here must have nice small font in framebuffer console?!
[15:28] <x3roconf> and previous drivers won't work too
[15:28] <turbocueca> I'm trying to connect a laptop with a linksys PCMCIA wireless card to my access point, but no success. It detects the card, but not the network. Can somebody help me?
[15:28] <x3roconf> with 8800GT
[15:29] <tho1> turbocueca does ifconfig show the card?
[15:29] <astro76> daedra, you need to add a vga=xxx option to the defoptions line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, something like vga=791 but you can google for other options
[15:29] <turbocueca> tho1, ifconfig no
[15:29] <turbocueca> tho1, iwconfig yes
[15:30] <astro76> daedra, after you change that you will need to run 'sudo update-grub' and reboot
[15:31] <turbocueca> tho1, this is a bcm43xx
[15:31] <andre_> is there a way to show in fullscreen-mode of "Eye of Gnome" the filename, and the number of current picture of all pictures?  for example   foobar.jpg (12/29323)
[15:31] <f1sh3r> can someone help me out with a lamp development server
[15:31] <andre_> cause when i start a diashow it wouldbe nice to know how many pictures willbe follow
[15:32] <daedra> thanks
[15:32] <tho1> turbocueca what does iwconfig call the card...wlan0, eth0, ath0?
[15:32] <turbocueca> tho1, eth1
[15:33] <matux> hi, is  eclipse web tools in the ubuntu repositories?
[15:33] <todd_> what is the best way to make a folder to share amongst many users on a system?
[15:33] <Arelis> Guys, Gutsy is a real unstable system.. can't you release critical updates to harden everything BEFORE the release of hardy?
[15:33] <daedra> todd_: samba
[15:34] <tho1> turbocueca and 'sudo ifup eth1' doesn't start the card? does it return an error message?
[15:34] <turbocueca> gutsy is alright
[15:34] <todd_> daedra: lol no I mean permissions wise
[15:34] <f1sh3r> where do i put my *.php files so that the LAMP server sees them?
[15:35] <x3roconf> todd_ or FTP
[15:35] <turbocueca> tho1 - Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1
[15:35] <ifireball> todd_: depends what what you are trying to achieve, who reads? who writes?
[15:35] <turbocueca> tho1, the card is enabled, however it can't connect to my access point
[15:36] <tho1> turbocueca then ifconfig shows eth1?
[15:36] <turbocueca> flsh3r, htdocs
[15:36] <turbocueca> tho1, ifconfig no, only iwconfig
[15:37] <todd_> i am just trying to make a folder where a bunch of people on the local PC (all of the same group) can work on a project together... what is the best way of doing this?
[15:37] <ifireball> todd_: root-owned + sticky group write permissions seems to be a good idea (given you have a group with all the permitted users in it)
[15:37] <tho1> turbocueca right...you won't get anywhere til it shows in ifconfig. Check /etc/network/interfaces and see if there is an entry for eth1
[15:37] <f1sh3r> do i need to set myself up in a group to have access to the httpdocs area?
[15:37]  * daedra agrees with ifireball
[15:37] <tho1> turbocueca  should be several lines...I can pastebin mine if you need it.
[15:38] <todd_> ifierball: ahh that sounds right... how do you set a dir "sticky"?
[15:38] <turbocueca> tho1, 2 lines mine
[15:38] <daedra> edit group file
[15:38] <turbocueca> tho1, I installed gutsy today, and it didn't download the critical updates during the installation due to no connection
[15:38] <turbocueca> tho1, Can that be related to this problem?
[15:38] <chazco> Hi... my USB keyboard doesnt work in 7.10 when connected to the motherboards USB ports. A PCI USB port works fine - unless I want to use GRUB/BIOS.... How can I fix this so the keyboard will work on the motherboard ports?
[15:39] <todd_> how do you set a dir "sticky"???
[15:39] <turbocueca> tho1, It also doesn't show the Ubuntu logo while loading the system
[15:39] <ifireball> todd_: you play with the 1st 3 permission bits, e.g. chmod 2770 should do the trick
[15:39] <x3roconf> turbocueca: not critical because tehere are zero remote holes
[15:39] <tho1> turbocueca it didn't download the updates because it can't see the network. You need to get the interface working before you can get the updates
[15:39] <turbocueca> tho1, yes
[15:40] <ifireball> todd_: w8, there is another issue of who is allowed to delete, also, do you have some kind of a user who is gonna be "in charge" ?
[15:40] <todd_> ifierball: um... root
[15:40] <turbocueca> tho1, it's weird because it shows the connection on gnome
[15:41] <turbocueca> tho1, looks like that it works but doesn't connect
[15:41] <ifireball> todd_: hmm, actually letting root own the files may be a little dangerous
[15:41] <tho1> turbocueca is the bcm43xx driver loaded?
[15:41] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, are you here?
[15:41] <turbocueca> tho1, How to be sure?
[15:41] <x3roconf> ifireball: why it's dangerous
[15:42] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have bricked my mp3 player. completely
[15:42] <tho1> turbocueca in a terminal....'lsmod | grep bcm43'
[15:42] <ifireball> x3roconf: becasue someone may be able to create a suid-root executable
[15:42] <turbocueca> tho1, on gnome says: Driver: bcm43xx
[15:42] <todd_> ifireball: ok what do you sugggest?
 Is there a program for mounting .dmg files in Ubuntu Gutsy?
[15:43] <ifireball> todd_: w8
[15:43] <Retro`> please help me, anyone, to put my bricked SanDisk Sansa e260 mp3 player into manufactoring mode
[15:43] <turbocueca> tho1, 3 lines
[15:43] <tho1> turbocueca ok...then the driver is loaded.
[15:43] <turbocueca> tho1, about bcm43xx and ieee80211
[15:43] <turbocueca> tho1m ok
[15:44] <tho1> turbocueca (thinking)
[15:44] <Retro`> i have accidentally formated the drive /dev/sda that my device was plugged on
[15:44] <Retro`> with gparted
[15:44] <LimCore> are bugs fixed usually, or am I wasting my time reporting them?  This time open office fails misserably to show variables
[15:44] <Abyssal> hi
[15:44] <Retro`> how can i make an another /dev/sda that has the FAT32 filesystem? please help!!
[15:44] <astro76> LimCore, yes bugs are fixed only if they are reported :p

[15:45] <Abyssal> how to improve the quality of a scan in SANE?
[15:45] <tho1> turbocueca are you using network manager?
[15:45] <turbocueca> tho1, I have no wireless security
[15:45] <Retro`> please help anyone
[15:45] <turbocueca> tho1, with gnome
[15:46] <ifireball> todd_: you see, there are 2 options here to choose from: either users retain ownership of their files, or you make some regular user own the directory and make that sticky as well (therefore making him own the files as well)
[15:46] <Abyssal> how to improve the quality of a scan in SANE?
[15:46] <LimCore> astro76: I see cruciall bugs unfixed for long time :(
[15:46] <todd_> ifireball: ok so I need a "dummy" user
[15:46] <tho1> turbocueca I am accessing my server remotely so I can see what gnome needs...give me a sec
[15:46] <Abyssal> Retro: is there not a partitioning programme?
[15:46] <turbocueca> tho1, okay
[15:46] <x3roconf> use nobody
[15:46] <luckybamboo> i tried to burn by k3b, but k3b always tell me to insert a blank medium. the inserted medium is definetely blank. the fstab also looks good. even k3b detects the the writer correctly as /dev/scd1. maybe a permissions-problem?
[15:47] <ifireball> todd_: or the group leader
[15:47] <turbocueca> tho1, my laptop is frozen rrr
[15:47] <todd_> ifireball: ok
[15:47] <tho1> turbocueca don't normally use gnome...and ubuntu is on my server so I have to get to it remotely
[15:47] <Abyssal> how to improve the quality of a scan in SANE?
[15:47] <f00f> !fstab | Cnerd
[15:47] <ubotu> Cnerd: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[15:47] <f00f> Abyssal, set the DPI higher
[15:48] <tho1> turbocueca in System-Administration-Network it shows eth1 right?
[15:48] <Abyssal> foof: how?
[15:48] <Abyssal> foof: is there an option within sane?
[15:48] <f00f> Abyssal, I think it's the --resolution option or something...
[15:48] <turbocueca> tho1, just a bit, it's refusing to open, restarting X
[15:48] <ifireball> todd_: any any case, test, test, and test again...
[15:48] <f00f> Abyssal, or you can just apt-get install xsane.. it's easier.
[15:49] <tho1> turbocueca it doesn't show ethx....it will show 'Wireless connection' (jeez...getting old)
[15:49] <Abyssal> foof: it is xsane already
[15:49] <bagh0662> #quit
[15:50] <turbocueca> tho1, sorry, gotta restart, my network window is blank and grey
[15:50] <turbocueca> tho1, just 2 minutes
[15:50] <tho1> I am using NX to access my server remotely. Usually in xfce, which works fine. But now in gnome there is no title bar....does anyone know of this issue?
[15:50] <tho1> turbocueca ok
[15:50] <prudo> ola
[15:51] <luckybamboo> mmh i also tried it as root-user and k3b still tell me to insert a blank medium...
[15:51] <turbocueca> tho1, may channels have something to do with?
[15:51] <lobosque> how do I enter in a directory with space in the name trough shell?
[15:51] <turbocueca> tho1, it never asked me for the wireless channel I'm using
[15:52] <tho1> turbocueca shouldn't....it should scan for the channel
[15:52] <tho1> turbocueca there isn't much you need to define to start with....unless you have changed configuration of the router or something
[15:52] <turbocueca> tho1, it was WPA2 before
[15:53] <lobosque> how do I enter in a directory with space in the name trough shell?
[15:53] <turbocueca> tho1, but I changed to disable to avoid problems
[15:53] <tho1> turbocueca are you sure the wpa is turned off?
[15:53] <Abyssal> foof: can i send you the resulting scan file? i am not content with it. maybe you know how to improve.
[15:53] <tho1> turbocueca you have to disable wpa in both the laptop and the router
[15:53] <turbocueca> tho1, yes
[15:53] <Whyvas> lobosque, type the beginning of the name then hit tab
[15:54] <turbocueca> tho1, on ubuntu I'm connecting with no security
[15:54] <tho1> turbocueca ok...in gnome...System-Administration-Network
[15:54] <turbocueca> tho1, ok, it shows wiress connection, wired connection and connection with modem
[15:55] <Abyssal> the are also 2 stripes in it.
[15:55] <x3roconf> turbocueca: use at least wpa lol
[15:55] <cybergig> @_@
[15:55] <turbocueca> x3roconf, right
[15:55] <tho1> turbocueca the ESSID should match the SSID of your router, the Network Password should be blank, and the Connection Settings Configuration should be dhcp
[15:55] <Whyvas> anyone know why uname -i gives me unknown instead of i386 ?
[15:55] <aoupi> lobosque: you can use " around the directory name, or \ before the space (like "a b" or a\ b), but the esiest is tabing like Whyvas said

[15:56] <turbocueca> tho1, what about the type of password?
[15:56] <Whyvas> cybergig, google compiz fusion
[15:56] <Whyvas> jaggy, try XMMS
[15:56] <tho1> turbocueca those should all be under the wireless connection.
[15:56] <Mr_Sonoma> what are you trying to play? .mp3?
[15:56] <{Nathan}> jaggy: You can't, without using wine. It's windows only.

[15:57] <{Nathan}> jaggy: Then you can try to run it in wine

[15:57] <{Nathan}> jaggy: what is it you need to do?
[15:57] <jaggy> kk nathan ill try that
[15:57] <turbocueca> tho1, let me test
[15:57] <jaggy> and its for a belgium radio online ..
[15:57] <{Nathan}> jaggy: other programs can handle radio streams
[15:57] <Whyvas> XMMS can play those jaggy
[15:57] <tho1> turbocueca I recall that it takes a while in gnome to get the interface to come back up again.

[16:00] <tho1> turbocueca don't paste it all in here...use pastebin or just let me know that it says SOMETHING <smile>
[16:00] <Retro`> why is there no one helping me???
[16:00] <turbocueca> tho1, 1 no results

[16:00] <Retro`> help :(
[16:00] <turbocueca> tho1, no scan results
[16:00] <tho1> turbocueca I forget...is your wireless 0 or eth1?

[16:01] <tho1> turbocueca sorry...I am looking at mine...eth0....use the same command with eth1
[16:01] <astro76> Retro`, because you didn't ask a specific question, no one will answer "How do I use x?"
[16:01] <Abyssal> i got 2 colored stripes in my scan. how can i change that?

[16:02] <tho1> turbocueca ifup says it is ignoring unknown interface...<thinking>

[16:02] <BetaTest> I have installed wine, and when I open mIRC, it opes up, it runs in the background, but I can't see the program.  How would I go about fixing that?

[16:04] <GarulfoUnix> hi guys

[16:04] <tamgo> {Nathan}: How does one brick a DS Lite?
[16:04] <GarulfoUnix> someone know how to center automaticaly windows with metacity's WM ?
[16:04] <{Nathan}> tamgo: Flashme.
[16:04] <negroxxx> ubotu.. valeu
[16:04] <Mr_Sonoma> BetaTest, yes Whyvas has a good question, there are several IRC chat platforms avail for linux in the repos, such as xchat, kvirc, konversation and many others
[16:04] <Pici> LimCore: If you have an issue with a way that a specific bug was filed, please ask in #ubuntu-bugs, not here.
[16:04] <turbocueca> tho1, it threw many lines, but most are network is down, and a No DHCPOFFERS received

[16:05] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You have to create a new 4GiB FAT32 partition and mount it.
[16:05] <Retro`> {Nathan}, please instruct me on this
[16:05] <GarulfoUnix> astro76, thanks a lot
[16:05] <{Nathan}> Retro`: Are you in a live CD?
[16:05] <tho1> turbocueca now that's a different story.  I have installed it, running fine. I added a symlink of the directory I want to display on /var/www, restarted the server, but that didn't seem to work. How do I add a directory?
[16:06] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You can't do this without repartitioning, which means you need to be in a live CD enviornment.
[16:06] <BetaTest> And not even that, but I don't want that happening to every program that I open
[16:06] <turbocueca> tho1, nope
[16:06] <{Nathan}> tamgo: Make sure that's the right directory. That should work though.
[16:06] <Retro`> {Nathan}, is there any way around that?
[16:06] <{Nathan}> Retro`: No. That's why I've said this twice.
[16:07] <Retro`> {Nathan}, how can i make an unallocated space?
[16:07] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You delete things.
[16:07] <Whyvas> Retro`,  are you trying to install ubuntu?
[16:07] <tho1> turbocueca if you type 'dhclient eth1' does it appear to try to get a dhcp lease
[16:07] <tamgo> {Nathan} I did verify the directory, and restarted the server, not working for some reason.
[16:07] <{Nathan}> Then you resize a partition, Retro`
[16:07] <gaurav_> i have told wine C: is now pointing to a new drive, but when i go to "Wine > Browse C:\ Drive" it takes me to the old C:, how do i tell it to use the other directory?
[16:07] <Retro`> {Nathan}, i have plenty of unused space of my 130 GB drive
[16:07] <{Nathan}> tamgo: You shouldn't have to restart either... does it work witha normal directory (not a symlink)
[16:07] <{Nathan}> Retro`:  [11:07] < {Nathan}> Then you resize a partition, Retro`
[16:08] <Retro`> {Nathan}, please tell me exactly ho to do that with gparted
[16:08] <turbocueca> tho1, my card never blinks
[16:08] <Retro`> {Nathan}, please consider that i am a noob
[16:08] <{Nathan}> Retro`: I am. But you have to read what I say, and it gets very annoying when you don't.
[16:08] <Whyvas> Retro`, what are you trying to do?
[16:08] <tamgo> {Nathan} I actually put in a symlink! Does it have to be a physical directory? In which case wouldn't a hard link work?
[16:08] <jaggy> anyone knows a nice texteditor whit ide's for c++ c and java coding ?
[16:08] <tho1> turbocueca if you type that in a terminal you should see a number of dhcp lines as it requests an address. Is the light on the card ever on?
[16:08] <x_zeuss> hi, i have really big ubuntu problem pls help
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, never
[16:09] <x_zeuss> firefox doesn't start at all
[16:09] <Retro`> {Nathan},  i have read i have to resize the partition... how exactly should i do that?
[16:09] <{Nathan}> tamgo: I use symlinks to my music directory (don't tell the RIAA...) all the time. I don't know why it's not working for you.
[16:09] <Whyvas> jaggy, go download and install automatix
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, only the power
[16:09] <x_zeuss> and sometimes the computer just logs out
[16:09] <BetaTest> So is there a way to actually see the program that's running in the background?
[16:09] <Whyvas> check it out, pretty awesome.
[16:09] <astro76> !automatix | Whyvas jaggy
[16:09] <ubotu> Whyvas jaggy: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, no working leases
[16:09] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You right click on the partition from gparted in a live CD enviornment and hit resize. I'm not your babysitter, you can figure this out.
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, btw,, what is SIOCSIFFLAGS?
[16:09] <hanasaki> what will generate my tls certs for exim?
[16:09] <{Nathan}> Retro`: I figured this out when I was 11.
[16:10] <turbocueca> tho1, seems it can't find that file
[16:10] <tamgo> {Nathan}: make sense. So just to make sure we are on the same page. Go to /var/www, make a symlink to the directory you want to publsih. and voila! open a browser to localhost (or your server) and you should see the directory?
[16:10] <Retro`> {Nathan}, why do i need to be in the Live CD environment?
[16:10] <WorkingOnWis1> im installing Ubuntu fresh on my laptop, and am looking to get the best battery life. that file system is best in that respect?
[16:10] <{Nathan}> x3roconf: So firefox doesn't start at all? Nothing happens?
[16:10] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You just do.
[16:10] <Retro`> {Nathan}, even if my Ubuntu is on the harddrive?
[16:10] <tho1> turbocueca one at a time....no working leases...did you see a DHCPREQUEST?
[16:10] <{Nathan}> tamgo: Yeah, that's what I've always done and it always works.
[16:10] <{Nathan}> Retro`: I've said this about 5 times now. YES.
[16:10] <Retro`> {Nathan}, okay
[16:10] <Cnerd> ARG
[16:11] <tamgo> {Nathan} uumm... must not be my day. Cool I'll try again. Thanks.
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I have a couple minutes before I leave...
[16:11] <Cnerd> how do i edit /etc/fstab??
[16:11] <{Nathan}> Retro`: It's because you are using data on your hard drive and it's not smart to move it when you are using it.
[16:11] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help!
[16:11] <chuckf> Retro`, if you weren't new, there are other ways to do it. however it is easiest for you from the live cd
[16:11] <turbocueca> tho1, yes, I see DHCPDISCOVERs on <IP_ADDRESS>, then no DHCPOFFERS received
[16:11] <{Nathan}> Cnerd: You open a text editor as root and open fstab
[16:11] <cybergig> o.o;
[16:11] <cybergig> bah...
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Enter recovery mode (with the hold button on, press down the voice recording button, and without letting go of it, press ON).  LEt me know if that works
[16:11] <turbocueca> tho1, it looks like the machine is commanding the card
[16:11] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, it does not
[16:11] <tho1> turbocueca then the card is working ok and it is a config problem. Sounds like you might still have encryptiont turned on in the wifi router
[16:11] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have tried that 10 times
[16:12] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have tried that 10 times and nothing
[16:12] <Cnerd> ow do i logon as root?
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1, weird
[16:12] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i think i messed up my bootloader and everything
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1, I'll restart it
[16:12] <tho1> turbocueca does iwconfig show an essid?
[16:12] <{Nathan}> Cnerd: You do not need to login as root, just run "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[16:12] <WorkingOnWis1> Cnerd: dont. use sudo in a terminal or gksu from in gnome instead
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1, yes
[16:12] <{Nathan}> Cnerd: sudo temporarly sets you as the root user
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: So it looks like you erased the fat16 firmware partition instead of copying your firmware to the player and letting it self install
[16:12] <tho1> turbocueca and does it match the essid of the router?
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1 yes
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the /dev/sda does not exist anymore
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help me restore it
[16:13] <nickrud> !gksudo | {Nathan} Cnerd
[16:13] <ubotu> {Nathan} Cnerd: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Can I assume you are sure sda is your player?
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, yes, it was
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, now it's dead
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Does gparted still show sda
[16:14] <{Nathan}> nickrud: Actually, I use fluxbox so I don't ever use any gnome apps... so I didn't know if it was gksu or gksudo :-p
[16:14] <Retro`> the player does not start
[16:14] <tho1> turbocueca the problem is not in the card (I think). You need to get the router to respond to the DHCPREQUEST. Nothing is going to happen until that does...you need an ip address
[16:14] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, gparted does not show sda anymore
[16:14] <{Nathan}> Retro`: Does it have battery power?
[16:14] <nickrud> {Nathan}, gksu can be set to use either sudo or su , your choice ;)
[16:14] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, yes it has battery power
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: THose are supposed to have tow partitions, one for the firmware and another for your music
[16:14] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, no sda whatsoever
[16:14] <turbocueca> tho1, the card works alright on xp(r)
[16:15] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have erased it all, by mistake that is
[16:15] <WorkingOnWis1> nickwhats the diff between su ans sudo? thought they were same.
[16:15] <Cnerd> how do i make a ir in terminal?
[16:15] <turbocueca> tho1 I'll restart the router cya in 5 minutes
[16:15] <Cnerd> mkdir xD
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I figured you would not have bricked it intentionally
[16:15] <tho1> turbocueca it looks like the card is working on ubuntu as well...the problem is in the communication between the card and the router
[16:15] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help me create a /dev/sda mountpoint
[16:15] <{Nathan}> WorkingOnWis1: su is actualy "switch user" eg "su bob". Sudo always takes you to root, and for only one command.
[16:15] <nickrud> {Nathan}, it's not about gnome, the main thing is sudo <app> uses your home as home, so if you save prefs they'll be saved as root owned, and no longer changeable by your normal user. gksudo will use /root
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Do you have any idea how big the firmware partition was?
[16:16] <brobostigon> Retro`: mkdir inside /media
[16:16] <turbocueca> tho1, yes, I've had many times problems about that communication on windows too
[16:16] <tamgo> {Nathan}: I tried creating a physical directory and copying a file. I am getting the listing, but when I try to access it, I get a forbidden error. I am only going to use this inside my lan, so I really don't care all that much about security. How do I just give anonymous free access to all resources?
[16:16] <wraund> atm it complains error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[16:16] <MrDinkles> Is flashplayer still down or is it working and the topic wasnt updated?
[16:16] <Cnerd> :'(
[16:16] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the firmware partition was... i can't remember, sorry
[16:16] <wraund> a game i have needs some 32bit sound libraries but i am on 64bit, for example the 32bit of libopenal.so.0:
[16:16] <{Nathan}> tamgo: chmod -R +r (directory)
[16:17] <WorkingOnWis1> {Nathan}: ah...ok. never actually used su. always been on a single user machine. thanks
[16:17] <tamgo> {Nathan} of course
[16:17] <tho1> turbocueca might need to investigate the router further...but I couldn't help with that as I don't know your router. If you have problems with windows as well then definitely you need to get that working correctly
[16:17] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help me create a /dev/sda mountpoint with gparted
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: TO enter recovery mode you are starting with the unit OFF is that correct?
[16:17] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, correct
[16:18] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, but the blue wheel is glowing
[16:18] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the screen, however, is black
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I am trying to find the size of the original firmware partition.
[16:18] <WorkingOnWis1> does fat32 in linux still have the 4GB file size limit it has in Windows?
[16:18] <x3roconf> "{Nathan}> x3roconf: So firefox doesn't start at all? Nothing happens?" nathan wtf? i said no such thing lol
[16:18] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, that's a filesystem limit, not os limit, so yes
[16:19] <LimCore> can any one with open office  download my tiny .odt  and confirm my bug report?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/179230
[16:19] <{Nathan}> x3roconf: wrong person, sorry
[16:19] <x3roconf> ok
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: It looks like the firmware partition is 16 megs..
[16:19] <cybergig> Ack...
[16:19] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i think i'll have to enter the Manufacturing Mode
[16:19] <cybergig> The header, with the litter X button to close/move programs have disapeared.
[16:19] <cybergig> What do I do
[16:20] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, oh yes, it was something like 16 MB and something
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Ok.  and gparted does see it?
[16:20] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud: grrrrr..... Been trying to backup my home folder and kept geting "File too big" nonsense from Nautilus..with a 10GB file when 4GB had been copied!
[16:20] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, no
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: as sda that is.. (and be very sure about that)
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: gparted does not see it at all now?
[16:21] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have erased the sda mountpoint completely
[16:21] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, time to turn that fat to an ext3 then
[16:21] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, it is NOT seen
[16:21] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, we must recreate it
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I dont care about the mount point...  looking to see if gparted sees the drive as in all unallocated
[16:21] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud: Is ntfs read/write pretty stable now? I need to keep my usb hard drive Windows readable too..
[16:21] <turbocueca> Hi
[16:21] <Cnerd> {Nathan}, PM plz
[16:21] <julien> re
[16:21] <turbocueca> tho1, restarted
[16:22] <chuckf> WorkingOnWis1, yes, it is pretty stable
[16:22] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud:  I dont need acls , compression, or encryption...
[16:22] <BetaTest> There's no sound when I play WMV files, but it shows the image. What should I download?
[16:22] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the only mountpoint i have is /dev/hda   there's no unallocated space because the space of sda is gone
[16:22] <{Nathan}> VMware just messed up my screen resolution. How can I use xrandr to set it back to 1024x768
[16:22] <soldats> BetaTest, use synaptic and make sure you  have all the audio codecs
[16:22] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: are you copying the home folder from ext3 to a fat32 pendrive?
[16:23] <WorkingOnWis1> is there a driver I can install in windows to allow read/write access to an ext2 or 3 partition?
[16:23] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, I finally started using ntfs for writing with this release, I'm a fraidy cat with data
[16:23] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: to a usb hard drive, 80GB
[16:23] <BetaTest> Is Synaptic already installed, or do I need to Google for it?
[16:23] <soldats> BetaTest, synaptic is a package menager
[16:23] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'll try to reboot my computer if that would make any difference
[16:24] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, yes, I use explore2fs to read ext2/3 not write though
[16:24] <soldats> look in apps > system > synaptic
[16:24] <BetaTest> Ah, ok
[16:24] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: that's not much of a backup. make a split zip/tar.gz file
[16:24] <astro76> !synaptic | BetaTest, that's system > admin > synaptic
[16:24] <tho1> turbocueca ok. in the terminal when you type 'dhclient eth1' you should see an exchange between the router and ubuntu...a DHCPDISCOVER followed by  a DHCPOFFER...do you see those first two steps?
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Ok,, not sure it will help, but at this poing cant hurt
[16:24] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud: me too...no matter what happens, apps can be installed way easier than data can be recovered
[16:24] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, brb... please wait for me
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: There are some windows tools that may be able to restore your brick
[16:24] <sirbijan> hello all
[16:25] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: i dont follow u....i'm backing up /home to my usb har drive.
[16:25] <sirbijan> how can I remove the volumes shown on my desktop?
[16:25] <sirbijan> i don't like a busy desktop
[16:25] <WorkingOnWis1> hard
[16:25] <turbocueca> tho1, there are no DHCPOFFERs next to DHCPDISCOVERs
[16:26] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: of you're doing it with a simple copy you're losing a lot of data like file permissions and attributes in the process
[16:26] <brobostigon> sirbijan: volumes are shown on youre desktop when they are mounted, if you dont want any, do mount anything
[16:26] <turbocueca> tho1, want to see all the output?
[16:26] <brobostigon> dont mount anything
[16:26] <tho1> turbocueca then the wireless card and ubuntu are doing all they can. you need to investigate the router...is the router close? Are you sure the signal is reaching it?
[16:26] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: I suggest you create a compresses archive of some kind on the zip drive instead
[16:26] <BetaTest> What am I looking for in Synaptic?o.O
[16:26] <sirbijan> brobostigon: it should be a way not to show'em buddy! I remember it's in "gconf-editor", but don't remember where
[16:27] <turbocueca> tho1, it always reaches here...
[16:27] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: (actually it doesn't have to be compressed, just an archive...)
[16:27] <brobostigon> sirbijan: no idea, sorry.
[16:27] <turbocueca> tho1, should the card blink even without signal?
[16:27] <sirbijan> i want'em not on my desktop, and mounted, and I did it b4, just don't remember how
[16:27] <sirbijan> welcome brobostigon
[16:27] <turbocueca> tho1, while trying to connect.
[16:27] <astro76> BetaTest, as a start, install ubuntu-restricted-extras, but you will also probably need w32codecs which you can get from medibuntu
[16:27] <astro76> !medibuntu | BetaTest
[16:27] <ubotu> BetaTest: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[16:27] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: true.. if i were going from a ext3 to ext3 would the permissimos be preserved?
[16:28] <Geck1> random question: does anyone know how to set a picture as a signature in windows live hotmail?
[16:28] <tho1> turbocueca can't count on the card 'blinking' one way or the other...the dhcp packets will be so quick that they might not show up
[16:28] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: yes.
[16:28] <KJHJKH> HI everyone I am a new user to linux and am currently runnung Ubuntu....  I just installed it and just booted it up for the first time... but I dont know how to get to the GUI part can anyone help me?
[16:29] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: arg...how soon before u think Windows will use ext3 nativly   :D
[16:29] <Odd-rationale> Task: What do you see right now?
[16:29] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, probably want to use cp -a
[16:29] <Task> looks like dos prompt
[16:29] <tho1> turbocueca My next step would be to fire up wireshark on the computer you do have on the network and see if I could spot the packets going from ubuntu to the router...but that is a techie thing <smile>
[16:29] <Task> I logged in
[16:29] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'm back
[16:29] <turbocueca> tho1, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49982/
[16:29] <soldats> Task, type startx
[16:29] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, hah never, but you can install a driver to read/write ext2/3 from windows
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Im still here
[16:29] <Odd-rationale> Task: Try "init 3"
[16:29] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: right before they release the new winfs ;)
[16:29] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, you were right... nothing changed
[16:29] <turbocueca> tho1, wireshark?
[16:30] <Task> hmmm fatal error....   "No valid frontpath could be found
[16:30] <WorkingOnWis1> astro76: write ext3 in win? whats it called? the one i found is read only...
[16:30] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please tell me how can i create a /dev/sda mountpoint
[16:30] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, http://www.fs-driver.org/
[16:30] <Odd-rationale> Task: How did you install your Ubuntu?
[16:30] <nickrud> Odd-rationale, that's not the way it works in ubuntu, runlevels 2 & 3 both start gdm ....
[16:30] <tho1> turbocueca packet sniffer
[16:30] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: hahahaha....winfs....they had a great thing with ntfs, but as usual, they gotta screw it up too...
[16:31] <Task> OFf a cd   I was having trouble before with the regular one... so I used the text only one
[16:31] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the sad thing is that my mp3 player is dead
[16:31] <WorkingOnWis1> astro76: ty
[16:31] <Task> I burned it slow at 8x
[16:31] <Odd-rationale> nickrud: OK
[16:31] <Geck1> random question: does anyone know how to set a picture as a signature in windows live hotmail?
[16:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I would borrow a windows macnine and use the sandisk recovery tool..  http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1532
[16:31] <Odd-rationale> Task: Did you install a command line system?
[16:31] <Task> hrmm
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I would NOT try to run it under wine
[16:32] <Task> I had a lil trouble with LILO or Grub
[16:32] <Task> It was havin some trouble... maybe I should try to reinstall lilo?
[16:32] <WorkingOnWis1> Jack_Sparrow: i have never done it in Linux, but could Retro recover the partition with some forensics data tools? As long as he stops trying other sure-to-fail methods?
[16:32] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i will visit my friend and try to fix my bricked mp3 player
[16:32] <biola> You guys have andu idea how im supposed to install a dual-cd-distro in vmware?
[16:33] <biola> any*
[16:33] <WorkingOnWis1> Jack_Sparrow: have done it on DOS/Windows many times successfully
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: NO good answer to formatting the wrong partition.
[16:33] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, will the recovery tool restore the bootloader as well?
[16:33] <BetaTest> Hey astro76, do you mind if I PM you?
[16:33] <astro76> biola, it should work fine, but try asking in #vmware
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: They seem to have a wide variety of tools on their site.  I would think a windows fat recovery tool would fix the problem
[16:34] <astro76> BetaTest, please ask here :)
[16:34] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, thanks
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> np good luck
[16:34] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'm off to my friend's house now... he has Windows XP
[16:34] <BetaTest> astro76 I've got no idea what I'm doing here with Sanyptic :/
[16:34] <Cnerd> how do i uninstall ubuntu
[16:34] <astro76> BetaTest, your problem is you can't view/hear .wmv properly?
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Cnerd: INstall whatever os you want over the top or just format the partition
[16:35] <nickrud> Cnerd, boot windows, and reformat the partition you gave to ubuntu as ntfs . Done
[16:35] <tho1> turbocueca I am not sure where to go from here. It seems that ubuntu is doing what it is supposed to do...the problem is in the link between ubuntu and the router. I would verify that the dhcp is turned on in the router, the encryption is turned off, the essid matches what is in ubuntu, and might setting the router (and ubuntu) to another channel. But those are all just guesses.
[16:35] <BetaTest> Yeah, I can view, but not hear
[16:35] <nickrud> Cnerd, you'll want to run   fdisk /mbr as well
[16:35] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, after the tool will be installed in his machine... what conbination of buttons would i have to press/hold on my mp3 player?
[16:35] <{Nathan}> When I hit ctrl+alt+F1-F6, I have no TTYs -- they are all just a blinking cursor. How can I get them back?
[16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Depends on what tools he has available... start with a flash drive recovery tool
[16:36] <astro76> BetaTest, so first just hit Search, search for ubuntu-restricted-extras, check that, then Apply to install
[16:36] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, okay
[16:36] <uzerzero> Has anybody had any luck getting the Broadcom BCM4310/12 wireless chipset working under Gutsy?
[16:36] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, will do

[16:37] <BetaTest> Ok
[16:38] <nickrud> erUSUL, if a non authed ubotu user does that, will it put it in an approval queue ?
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: You still here?
[16:38] <tho1> chuckf we can see the dhcp request leaving ubuntu, but there is no response from the router
[16:38] <BetaTest> If it doesn't, I'll be back here annyoing you

[16:38] <BetaTest> Thanks
[16:38] <nickrud> erUSUL, echo a command at ubotu ?
[16:38] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[16:38] <chuckf> tho1, that's why I'm asking abotu the router firmware. I've had three probs in the last month that that fixed

[16:39] <astro76> nickrud, no, !trigger | ubotu does nothing special
[16:39] <tho1> chuckf right...I agree...I was to the point of suspecting the router...especiallyh after he mentioned he also had some issues in windows
[16:39] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, got any tip for me?
[16:39] <nickrud> Terrasqu1, ah you know jack, he's one of those 'good hearted' pirates
[16:39] <Superworms> can ubuntu be started with less than 200 mb of ram
[16:39] <Geck1> anyone that can help me with the hotmail question?
[16:39] <SimpleAnecdote> hiya peeps :D I got this weird thing.. I'm a total newbie on linux and ubuntu so take it easy on me.. but the thing is that I installed apache and it works but there is not apache2.conf file...
[16:40] <erUSUL> nickrud: aouch!!! tab completion mistake... (and i dunno what the consequences are)
[16:40] <Geck1> how can I set up a picture as my email signature?
[16:40] <Terrasqu1> nickrud: only steals from those that have something to steal? :)
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> yes

[16:40] <zenrium> simpleanedote: perhaps /etc/apache.conf ??  or just apache.conf ?
[16:40] <Abyssal> hi. i have got a dual boot ubuntu, where windows was installed before and linux ubuntu got installed now. i automatically made a dual boot. how can i get rid of that dual boot and how can i partitionate and format the whole windows harddrive? please help!
[16:40] <turbocueca> tho1, I will connect the laptop by wire and do all the updates it wants
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I will wait long enough for you to read it
[16:40] <nickrud> astro76, thanks
[16:41] <tho1> turbocueca you might consider also updating the software in the router.
[16:41] <SimpleAnecdote> I go to the apache2 folder on fileSystem/var/www/apache2-default
[16:41] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: you want to get windows off your machine?
[16:41] <SimpleAnecdote> and there is no apache2.conf
[16:41] <turbocueca> tho1, yes, but the strange is that I know this works
[16:42] <Abyssal> odd-rationale: yes.
[16:42] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, it's in /etc/apache2 , and be sure to look over *-available and *-enabled in that dir
[16:42] <turbocueca> tho1, first time with wireless on linux
[16:42] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: And just have ubuntu?
[16:42] <SimpleAnecdote> nickrud: sorry to be so newbish.. what do you mean by etc? like a drive?
[16:42] <turbocueca> tho1, the laptop is from my father, and so it never had linux
[16:43] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, no, that's the global config dir ,  /etc   (like /var/www is the apache html root)
[16:43] <zenrium> simple : /etc is a directory on your harddrive
[16:43] <Abyssal> odd-rationale: yes

[16:44] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, why did you gave me this post? does the Sansa Recovery Tool automatically fixes everythig back to normal?
[16:44] <sean> I am trying to install the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run graphics driver for a geforcefx graphics card, and when i double click the icon it says gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[16:44] <sean> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
[16:44] <sean> Select a character coding from the menu and try again. what does this mean?
[16:44] <nickrud> oxxi, please don't do that here

[16:44] <SimpleAnecdote> ok.. so now maybe you can solve another problem for me? how can I edit my website files without using the root user?
[16:44] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, why did you gave me this post? doesn't the Sansa Recovery Tool automatically fixes everythig back to normal?
[16:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I think the sans is not going to do what you want
[16:44] <oxxi> sorry new in irc
[16:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I think the method to try would be the last link I gave, which looks like they are working in linux
[16:45] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: You can probably use gparted liveCD to delete the windows partition then expand the linux partition to fill up the free space.  Let me find it...
[16:45] <ubotu> sean: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[16:45] <turbocueca> tho1, be back later
[16:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: My crystal ball is not working today.. Sorry, sarcasm is wasted online.. I have no way of knowing
[16:46] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, it's designed that way; you can run   sudo a2enmod userdir , and use ~/public_html to test, then move them to /var/www
[16:46] <sean> ill check it out thanks
[16:46] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'll try the Windows methods instead
[16:46] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'm off to my friend
[16:46] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: turbocueca I havent followed all of your thread, but have u tried rebooting the router, unpluggung power for a minute? I have had lease problems with my wrt router and that fixed it. I think it clears all the caches, which can get corrupted. I know, it sound so "Windows-ish" but it worked for me....
[16:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: BEst of luck with any and all methods..
[16:46] <nickrud> !sudo | SimpleAnecdote
[16:46] <ubotu> SimpleAnecdote: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[16:46] <Abyssal> ok. did you get what i mean. windows installed before. now linux ubuntu. but it made automatically dual boot and let windows live. but now i want windows to be deleted and also out of the boot options.
[16:46] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'll came back and report what happened
[16:47] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, see ya ;)   bye now
[16:47] <brainbug> hello and good evening everyone, i've just got simple question: i set up my wireless network and wired network , but when i go to /etc/network/interfaces i find at some line of my (ath0 wireless) my key, is there any way i can delete it there and i get a prompt where i can type this or any other way so its not listed in the file?
[16:47] <syarif> tes
[16:47] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, if you want to edit those files directly, you would run, for example,  gksudo gedit /var/www/<file>
[16:47] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes. I understood what you meant. BTW good choice!
[16:47] <SimpleAnecdote> nickrud: I know what sudo is, thanks though, it's always good to get some more reference... but what does that sudo command do? how does apache know to treat that new folder as server?
[16:47] <syarif> hello, i just wanna say hello from indonesia's ubuntuers
[16:48] <Abyssal> i tried suse some years ago. it lacked of free support. but ubuntu gives a good solution with the community support.
[16:48] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, if you run a2enmod userdir , it will add the apache directives to the http.conf that allows you to use that folder
[16:48] <ploom> Abyssal, kudos! Wasrte of license maybe, but who cares!
[16:48] <wraund> how would i go about getting  libopenal.so.0 for 32bit machines on a 64bit computer
[16:48] <tho1> WorkingOnWis1 yes...we have restarted the router.
[16:49] <tho1> WorkingOnWis1 I have run out of ideas <smile>
[16:49] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: k. sometimes we overlook the simplest things...
[16:49] <Abyssal> ploom: kudos?
[16:49] <SimpleAnecdote> nicrud: thank you very much! I will investigate further and only then bother you some more.. for now though I am happy :D thank you thank you thank you! if you ever need help with php I'm on ##phpfreaks (I don't mean to advertise other channels.. just grateful)
[16:49] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: is there another router to try?
[16:49] <Oli``> Anyone else here use Xine (the media player; and not GXine, etc)? I'm trying to make it as minimalistic as possible and would like to be able to drag the window with the left mouse button (anywhere on the video).. Any ideas?
[16:50] <syarif> anyone know other room?
[16:50] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, and the sudo command simply lets you work as root temporarily. Much safer than a root term, you're much less likely to run a system damaging command if you have to conciously use sudo to run commands on the system
[16:50] <SimpleAnecdote> truer words never said
[16:50] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: or a direct connection, getting the router out of the way totally, to be sure it is the router and not the pc?
[16:50] <SimpleAnecdote> gonna log off my root now
[16:50] <astro76> Oli``, you can alt+click anywhere on any window to move it
[16:50] <ploom> Oli``,  have you tried holding alt key (or meta or whatever) while dragging any window?
[16:50] <SimpleAnecdote> thank you and see you later :D thanks for helping a newbie..
[16:51] <Oli``> yeah alt works...  I used roxio 10 burned at 8x
[16:52] <ploom> Abyssal, kudos: http://www.answers.com/topic/kudos?cat=biz-fin
[16:52] <jameswf-home> what command
[16:52] <Oli``> Task have you check that the file you downloaded is not corrupt?
[16:52] <ifireball> nickrud: just checking, since I find "sudo mano", etc. to be bad style
[16:52] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK I con't find the howto.
[16:52] <Task> yeah  seems fine... I did the disc check too
[16:52] <ksivaji> how to access linux partition form windows ?
[16:53] <pulaski> hello, I'm running ubuntu 7.04 server and my last apt-get update/upgrade ended in a dpkg dependency error after trying to configure an upgrade to MySql-server-5.0.  Has anyone else had this experience?  "dpkg --configure -a" results in the same error.
[16:53] <LjL> !ext3 > ksivaji    (ksivaji, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:53] <jameswf-home> install win32 ext driver
[16:53] <nickrud> ifireball, to be honest, I'd never heard of sudoedit till just now, I think you are right about sudoedit being a better choice
[16:54] <Oli``> Task: has the media been good for other stuff?
[16:54] <ksivaji> LjL thanks
[16:54] <syarif> hello, i want to register, but i don't know how
[16:54] <syarif> anyone can help me
[16:54] <syarif> ?
[16:54] <ifireball> nickrud: we agree. good. :)
[16:54] <corporal_clegg> helloggs, could someone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4028660
[16:54] <corporal_clegg> sorry helloggs...
[16:54] <Abyssal> ploom: thx :-)
[16:55] <ksivaji> syarif  want to register what where ?
[16:55] <Abyssal> odd-rationale: so how to proceed?
[16:55] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Do have a ubuntu live cd?
[16:55] <nickrud> ifireball, problem is, most new users really want that gui editor, is VISUAL an X preferred app?
[16:55] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: yes
[16:55] <syarif> umm... i don't really sure, i want to have private chat, but then it's warn me to register first
[16:56] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Which one? 7.10?
[16:56] <LjL> !register > syarif    (syarif, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:56] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: yes. the newest release
[16:56] <Terrasqu1> LjL: can ubotu send pm to one that aint regged?
[16:56] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: 7.10
[16:57] <LjL> Terrasqu1: a registered user can PM an unregistered user.
[16:57] <Terrasqu1> LjL: ok :)
[16:57] <ifireball> nickrud: "EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /etc/passwd"
[16:57] <Blistok> Anybody know what would cause FTP to be really slow over a small LAN? Ping time is 1ms, but it takes like 15 seconds to upload a 5k file
[16:57] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK First of all, you want to back up your home directory. although you *shouldn't* lose any data, we just want to make sure. messing around with partitions can be dangerous.
[16:57] <nickrud> ifireball, problem with that is once again, if someone saves gedit prefs under sudo , it will write to .gconf as root
[16:58] <horzee> anyone know why none of my virtual terminals have ANY logins, but getty is running on all 6?
[16:58] <ifireball> nickrud: no it won't since the gedit runs as the normal user
[16:58] <lukasz_> Hey People
[16:58] <BetaTest> astro76, that didn't help:/
[16:58] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: so shall i copy the home directory to a safe place?
[16:58] <nickrud> ifireball, not when it's privs are escalated by sudo, that's why gksudo is constantly mentioned here
[16:59] <Terrasqu1> Blistok: firewall? bad link?
[16:59] <lukasz_> I installed ati as binary and I dunno how I can get the ati control panel there
[16:59] <ifireball> nickrud: read up what sudoedit does _exactly_.
[16:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes. another hard drive or other removable drive preferably.
[16:59] <Blistok> Terrasqul: I'm just using a cheap linksys router, no idea how to check that stuff... ah well, guess I'll live with it, not a huge deal
[16:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Also back up any other data you would like to keep.
[17:00]  * nickrud goes off to play with sudoedit
[17:00] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok... wait. i says that i have not the appropriate legitimation to copy home to another external harddrive
[17:00] <lukasz_> Ati displays now in flgrxinfo but no control panel :(
[17:00] <horzee> anyone know why none of my virtual terminals have ANY logins, but getty is running on all 6? also, X runs fine, have it set to start 2 sessions, one on vt 7, one on vt9.
[17:01] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Do alt+f2 then "gksudo nautilus" Then copy the home directory.
[17:01] <Task> can any settings in BIOS mess up the installation?
[17:01] <Whyvas> Abyssal, or install automatix then install the nautilus scripts....
[17:02] <lukasz_> I think I know how brb
[17:02] <ifireball> nickrud: the reason you find yourself having to use gksudo is because "normal" sudo doesn't pass DISPLAY to the calling up, nor does it solve the X-auto-cookie mumbo jumbo
[17:02] <ifireball> nickrud: e.g. called app*.
[17:02] <pulaski> My last ubuntu server 7.04 update ended with a MySql dependency error.  Can I safely proceed with upgrading to ubuntu server 7.10?
[17:03] <Edil> Hello I'm new here (I'm new even with IRC) I need help installing Ubuntu.
[17:03] <lukasz_> I will need to reboot brb
[17:03] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: still the same: Fehler »Vorgang nicht erlaubt« beim Kopieren von »/home/nam...en-GB.soe«
[17:04] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Do you have read/write permissions to your external hdd?
[17:05] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: as root in the file browser nautilus there are no other drives available.
[17:05] <pulaski> edil, google "install ubuntu" and look at any likely results.
[17:05] <nickrud> ifireball, as well as setting the root dir as home unlike sudo. That's been one of the major issues
[17:05] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Go to /media/
[17:05] <Drixx> how do i install JRE java ?
[17:05] <BetaTest> I can't hear the audio for WMV files, and installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, but that didn't help
[17:06] <Edil> Ubuntu installation is not booting. Is there any particular information that I need to know with Ubuntu and a Radeon X850 pro
[17:06] <Edil> The computer boots but the screen remains blank
[17:06] <ifireball> nickrud: well, don't you agree sudoedit is a neater solution in most cases?
[17:06] <nickrud> ifireball, which sudoedit deals with also
[17:06] <syarif> d
[17:07] <ifireball> nickrud: the selling point I believe is that noting actually runs as root
[17:07] <nickrud> ifireball, I do like sudoedit so far
[17:07] <nickrud> ifireball, yes
[17:07] <Drixx> frostwire ain't workin .... it says i don't hav the valid Jre java ... from where do i install it ??
[17:07] <ifireball> nickrud: I wonder if that piece of information can find its way to the /topic
[17:07] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: frostwire ain't workin .... it says i don't hav the valid Jre java ... how do i install it ??
[17:07] <nickrud> ifireball, it could easily be the overwhelming selling pint
[17:07] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: hey supp dude ?
[17:08] <Odd-rationale> Drixx: ? are you talking to me?
[17:08] <lukasz_> I installed apt-get install fglrx-control and its not in applications anywhere
[17:08] <Drixx> Odd-rationale : yes dude ...
[17:08] <wols_> lukasz_: dpkg -L  fglrx-control |grep bin
[17:08] <larson9999> did i miss the memo?  cd's don't mount to /media/cdrom anymore?  looks like they're mounting to /media/(volume id)
[17:08] <lukasz_> thnx
[17:09] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: the same. not possible to do a copy.
[17:09] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: how can i install java JRE ??
[17:09] <Odd-rationale> !java
[17:09] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[17:09] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: let us forget about the security.
[17:09] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: coz frostwire ain't workin
[17:09] <Edil> Is there any other interactive forum where newbies can ask questions? I already google for a solution but didn't find anything
[17:10] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK First. Are you willing to do a reinstall of ubuntu. or would you rather keep your current install. (hint: the second is more complicated)
[17:10] <BetaTest> So can anyone help me?
[17:10] <lukasz_> do I need to restart after that?
[17:10] <Odd-rationale> Drixx: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:11] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: the second option would be fine.
[17:11] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: thnx dude
[17:11] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: can i just delete my windows harddrive and partitionate it with ext3 or so...
[17:11] <lukasz_> I will try and see :)
[17:11] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK fire up the livecd. Then open gparted.
[17:12] <syarif> anyone have a chat with indonesian?
[17:12] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: can i also install gparted on my ubuntu harddrive system and run it from there?
[17:12] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes. you delete your windows partition and then *expand* your linux part. to fill up the empty space.
[17:13] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No. you can't be using the partition you are working on.
[17:13] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: so i can install gparted here with the installer/uninstaller without having to run the live CD?
[17:14] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No. you need to not be running off your hard drive.
[17:14] <nickrud> ifireball, you should talk to the people in -ops about it
[17:15] <lukasz_> I did exactly what you said and the control panel isn't there :(
[17:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: so i installed gparted on my harddrive now. can i run it from there and delete the microsoft harddrive?
[17:15] <hanasaki> thunderbird wont connect to my server when i use the host smtp but it does when i use smtp.mydomain.com      both "smtp' and the fqdn resolve to the same IP... any idea what is going on?
[17:15] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No. You need the liveCD.
[17:15] <syarif> wayya...
[17:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: FYI: i got 2 harddrives. 1 for ubuntu and 1 for windows.
[17:16] <syarif> original windows?
[17:16] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Oh. I see. Not a partitioned hard drive?
[17:16] <ifireball> nickrud: will do, can I make a !sudoedit for ubotu or does one need a special permission for that?
[17:17] <cybergig_> Question: When I use compiz and press X on anything the title bar goes away on all the applications and something crashes, I have to restart compiz to get it back. How do I solve this problem?
[17:17] <MrDinkles> Is there anyway to use gparted and create a partition without having to put it on a cd?
[17:17] <syarif> what "x" here?
[17:17] <syarif> you mean shut the window?
[17:17] <zenrium> cyber : so you are just loosing the title bars of windows?
[17:17] <cybergig_> x = close app button
[17:17] <cybergig_> yeah
[17:17] <nickrud> ifireball, gotta have perms for that now
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> MrDinkles i normalyly use a livecd that has parted tools allready on it. :) like the gparted live cd.
[17:18] <nickrud> ifireball, too many perverse adds back in the day
[17:18] <Abyssal> 2 partitioned hard drives. 1 for ubuntu and 1 for windows. so it could be possible to run gparted from here without the live cd cause the operating systems are on 2 different hard drives.
[17:18] <Abyssal> ??
[17:18] <lukasz_> hmm
[17:18] <Drixx> how do i run real media files on ubuntu
[17:18] <syarif> umm...maybe..just maybe...there something with ur vga card stting
[17:18] <ifireball> nickrud: I see, obtained by talking to -ops as well I guess?
[17:19] <MrDinkles> Dr_Willis: Im at work and noway to install it to a cd lol-- 8 hours here and i can't work on my dualboot!!!
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Abyssal with gpparted - the disk you are resizing/working on . Must NOT be mounted.  if you boot linux. you can resize the windows drive If its not mounted.
[17:19] <nickrud> Abyssal, the disk you're editing must be unmounted, that's the only requirement
[17:19] <nickrud> ifireball, yes
[17:19] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: possibly. You would have to unmount the windows drive first, though.
[17:19] <lukasz_> If I download from ati website and do this sh ati.run
[17:19] <lukasz_> The control panel works from there
[17:19] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok. it is. how to run gparted? where can i find it?
[17:19] <cybergig_> How do you mean, like compiz doesnt support my hardware fully?
[17:19] <lukasz_> but I think after that says missing xfree86-dri
[17:20] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: System -> adim
[17:21] <nickrud> ifireball, if you do that factoid, you should mention that adding VISUAL=gedit to .bashrc might be a nice thing
[17:21] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok. i see my soon former windows drive. :-) what to do next?
[17:21] <grout>  Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday?
[17:22] <ifireball> nickrud: I prefer EDITOR, but yeah
[17:22] <cybergig_> Wait, now its not doing it... but if I close the terminal that I ran compiz in, it happens..
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> grout you been asking that since last night havent you?
[17:22] <grout> haha yes
[17:22] <nickrud> ifireball, did some testing, sudoedit will prefer visual, but will fall back on editor in a console.
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> grout you have done the obvious like check the doomsday homepage?
[17:23] <grout> someone gave me one last week but i lost it
[17:23] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: You can delete all the windows partitions and then create a new partition to fill the empty space.
[17:23] <grout> of couse i did
[17:23] <grout> they only have source
[17:23] <aoupi> hi, I installed pidgin-plugin-pack with the help of apt-source since it didn't include switchspell, but now update manager tries to install the version from the repos. How can I give my version(which has the same version number) higher priority?
[17:23] <nickrud> ifireball, so the people that prefer a gui for editing can get it if they set that variable
[17:24] <v507> hello
[17:24] <ifireball> nickrud: I see. so VISUAL for X, EDITOR for text?
[17:24] <v507> i need help again
[17:24] <v507> how to compile??
[17:24] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok 1. which file system can you recommend? reiser? ext2? ext3? ??? fat?    2.is the boot screen then clean after that procedure?
[17:24] <larson9999> this is starting to tee me off :)
[17:24] <PriceChild> v507, what are you thinking you need to compile?
[17:24] <Abyssal> 2. i mean no option any more to boot windows?
[17:24] <nickrud> ifireball, can work that way, yes
[17:24] <PriceChild> Abyssal, ext3
[17:25] <v507> the application is in tar.bz2
[17:25] <jamescarr> any idea why firefox would suddenly cause my system to hang badly???
[17:25] <v507> how to install it
[17:25] <PriceChild> v507, what application is it?
[17:25] <v507> i read some tutorial
[17:25] <PriceChild> jamescarr, flash?
[17:25] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: 1. What do you want to use the drive for. 2. Not yet. we will try to edit the boot.list
[17:25] <jamescarr> I mean, I have a dual core 2.1Ghz laptop with 2MB or ram
[17:25] <ifireball> nickrud: ok, well, I have EDITOR=vi; so you can see where my habits lay...
[17:25] <jamescarr> PriceChild, no... all I do is start firefox
[17:25] <jamescarr> it's locked up, and then it locks up gnome
[17:25] <lukasz_> Im gonna try something
[17:25] <jamescarr> and it takes FOREVER for me to get a console open to kill it
[17:26] <nickrud> ifireball, well, I have my bad points as well :)
[17:26] <MrPled> I was wondering if there is a site I can get drivers from for an ethernet PCMCIA card for ubuntu 7.10
[17:26] <v507> metalserve-0.4-svn250_17092006.tar.bz2
[17:26] <jamescarr> it loads with the icons all gone and crap
[17:26] <jamescarr> looks badly crippled
[17:26] <v507> pricechild metalserve-0.4-svn250_17092006.tar.bz2
[17:27] <lukasz_> hmm
[17:27] <PriceChild> v507, do they not provide ".deb" packages?
[17:27] <v507> no
[17:27] <PriceChild> v507, if not then right click and extract that archive
[17:27] <kikdadog> anybody free to help a noob
[17:27] <lukasz_> I dunno why it ain't working the fglrx-control
[17:27] <PriceChild> v507, then read the "INSTALL" file.
[17:27] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok i deleted the partition now. i want to use it to safe files there. it is sda (55.90 GB). sdb (37.27 GB) is where i installed ubuntu.

[17:28] <stefko> How to i set a Timer on Xchat like ( i set timer to i CYCLE ( hop ) the channel on 3 mins ) ?
[17:28] <nickrud> darn, that one shouldn't have been deleted
[17:28] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: ext3 should be fine.
[17:28] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone here got aircrack installed successfully
[17:28] <kikdadog> i downloaded a couple of debs for the new metacity, with composting
[17:28] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok.
[17:28] <kikdadog> thow do i change it back
[17:28] <nickrud> kikdadog, try  alt-f2  emerald --replace
[17:28] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Tell me when that's finished.
[17:29] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone here got aircrack installed successfully?, sudo make and make install return errors
[17:29] <kikdadog> i want to turn the composting off its a little buggy
[17:29] <v507> it said i need to type ./configure
[17:29] <kikdadog> ti used this command
[17:29] <kikdadog> gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true
[17:29] <stefko> Hello people, how to i set /timer hop #channel ?
[17:29] <stefko> on xchat
[17:29] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: why not FAT? :-) a lot of friends still use windows. isnt with ext3 the data exchange between them and me handicapped?
[17:29] <v507> but i can't do that in terminal
[17:30] <nickrud> kikdadog, my first guess would be same command, but false
[17:30] <kikdadog> tcan i change the last word to false to turn it off
[17:30] <kikdadog> t:)
[17:30] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: If you want to still share files with windows use fat or ntfs.
[17:30] <kikdadog> thanks
[17:30] <v507> it said  No such file or dire
[17:30] <lukasz_> i will be back
[17:30] <nickrud> kikdadog, where'd you get the metacity debs, anyway? I'm interested
[17:30] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: fat32 has a 4gb file size limit, however.
[17:31] <kikdadog> ijn the forums like page 4
[17:31] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: no i will use ext3. i got an external harddrive formattted in fAT 32.
[17:31] <v507> hello
[17:31] <jamescarr> firefox has become an undead monster that, upon startup and without loaidng a page, takes up so many resources it locks up my machine and forces a hard reboot

[17:31] <jamescarr> this is new and sudden
[17:31] <feierfox> 24 has the most changes in 6er history
[17:31] <kikdadog> it is a little buggy
[17:31] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes.
[17:31] <jamescarr> I didnt upgrade or anything
[17:31] <turbocueca> tho1, still there mate?
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> jamescarr try a new usr, or  move teh firefox/mozilla dir to start with a clean setup of firefox. and see if it still does it.

[17:35] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: You can leave that at its default settings.
[17:35] <kikdadog> thanks again
[17:35] <KlrSpz> ompaul: i got the masquerading stuff working, but i'm confused on a configuration choice i had to make if you could help me wrap my head around it
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> v507 normally you cd to the source dir and use the command  ./configure
[17:35] <brobostigon> v507: type in into cli
[17:35] <kikdadog> later all thanks
[17:35] <KlrSpz> v507: don't repeat... but the answer is to open your terminal and navigate to the source folder and run it
[17:36] <Volkodav> is there an ftp install option?
[17:36] <v507> sorry... i allready run it and it said ; bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

[17:36] <acen> i have problem with my asdl connection and need somebody to help:-D
[17:36] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale:  creation of my new file system is advanceing. why was it neccessary to choose primary drive?
[17:37] <nickrud> v507, in that source dir, do ls  , if there is no configure file, then you really need to read INSTALL
[17:37] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: i was also able to choose extended drive.

[17:39] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: do "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[17:40] <Volkodav> right - instead of burning full CD ftp install CD are normally 30-40 mb
[17:40] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: where? in my terminal?
[17:40] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: alt+f2

[17:52] <con-man> out
[17:52] <nickrud> Task, is this the live cd?
[17:52] <Task> YEah
[17:53] <Task> is it checking online right now or something?
[17:53] <con-man> ok sooooo I try to isntall that package and it says I can do it because I have X running
[17:53] <nickrud> Task, I hate to say this, but you should probably download the alternate cd and install from there. The live cd has issues on some machines
[17:53] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok it is in the pastebin.
[17:53] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: I told you to use the pastebin. You didn't listen to me. See what happens? ;)

[17:54] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale:  i did not know the pastebin.
[17:54] <cabrioleur> con-man, ubuntu goes crazy when you install nvidia-built drivers. First, change the runlevel to 3, or alt-ctrl-f1, loggin, kill gdm, and do it from there.
[17:54] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: just pm me then.
[17:54] <Task> ok well d/ling it now  thanks nickrud

[17:57] <con-man> when I go to "screens and graphics" there is only 1 monitor on the list
[17:57] <Task> BBL when its done d/ling for more of your great service   :)
[17:57] <turbocueca> I used bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the firmware from the bcmwl5.sys, it extracted some *.fw files. Where am I supposed to put them?
[17:57] <v507> how to autoconf???
[17:57] <cabrioleur> v507, type autoconf then ./configure, and make at the end.
[17:57] <Sammy88> Hi there, I have some problems with the suspend and the hibernate mode. Is there a somebody who knows much about that topic? I tried several things...
[17:58] <v507> ok
[17:58] <v507> iĺl try it
[17:58] <con-man> LjL shouldnt there be two listed because I have two monitors hooked up?
[17:58] <KlrSpz> sorush20: http://pastebin.org/13362
[17:58] <carnage__> Hy I have a problem when i watch video after aprox. 10 min the screen blanks out.What should i do?
[17:58] <KlrSpz> sorush20: there ya go!, just change the interface names if they differ
[17:58] <LjL> con-man: don't really know, never tried such a setup
[17:58] <LjL> !dualhead > con-man    (con-man, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:58] <con-man> ok
[17:58] <KlrSpz> carnage__: tell the movie player to handl ethe screensaver properly in the options somewhere.. which app are you using?
[17:58] <v507> cabrioleur: what version of autoconf do u use???
[17:58] <nickrud> carnage__, right click the panel, and add the   inhibit   applet, that will allow you to tell the screensaver to leave your screen alone for a while
[17:59] <carnage__> totem
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Actually, do it like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49987/
[17:59] <cabrioleur> v507: 2.61
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Got it?
[17:59] <lukasz_> alright it works nquake :)
[17:59] <lukasz_> But the sound is horrible
[18:00] <carnage__> but i think it's not screensaver related because  i killed the screensaver and the power managemnt
[18:01] <carnage__> aand anyway i setted the screensaver to 2 h so dunno
[18:01] <KlrSpz> sorush20: you there?!
[18:01] <nickrud> carnage__, then you can use   xset -dpms   in a terminal
[18:01] <Sammy88> I'm searching for somebody who knows how to get a laptop's suspend or hibernate mode working...
[18:01] <KlrSpz> carnage__: that's probably dpms set up on your xorg conf
[18:01] <nickrud> carnage__, why it's doing it I have no clue
[18:01] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: When you're done, save and close the file. Then open a terminal and do "sudo update-grub"
[18:01] <KlrSpz> Sammy88: if it doesn't work out of the box, your hardware does not support it yet
[18:01] <carnage__> it's very anoying
[18:02] <nickrud> carnage__, I believe you :)
[18:02] <Sammy88> oh dmmt
[18:02] <v507> cabrioleur: after i type make command it said :
[18:02] <Sammy88> -.-
[18:02] <Jordan_U_> sorush20, If nobody else has answered you already, yes, you can share your wireless connection via ethernet
[18:02] <Sammy88> thanks for the answer :-)
[18:02] <nickrud> Sammy88, what video driver are you using?
[18:02] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: got it. changed it and saved it. the # reminds to windows if you did not want sth to appear at the bootscreen. when configuring the autoexec.bat then. :-)

[18:03] <KlrSpz> who doesn't know about pastebins these days!?
[18:03] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Any errors?
[18:03] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: what next?
[18:04] <Jordan_U_> v507, Read the message from ubotu, do not try to paste anything else until you do
[18:04] <multi_io> is acroread available as an ubuntu packet?
[18:04] <Sammy88> nickrud: I am using 7.11
[18:04] <the_bad_rock> can anyone help me with my sound card on ubuntu 7.4?
[18:04] <LjL> !paste | v507
[18:04] <ubotu> v507: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[18:04] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Did sudo update-grub spit out any errors?
[18:05] <Sammy88> nickrud: 7.12 cannot be really old - I loaded it only a few days ago...
[18:05] <tomek_> qw
[18:05] <Jordan_U_> KlrSpz, Many people don't know about it, heck, most people havn't even heard of IRC
[18:05] <sorush20> KlrSpz: i'm here
[18:05] <shonen> paste bins are niiiiccccee
[18:05] <v507> sorry
[18:05] <v507> i newbie
[18:05] <the_bad_rock> no errors
[18:05] <LjL> multi_io: not anymore, i'm afraid
[18:05] <v507> im newbe
[18:06] <nickrud> Sammy88, that one supports suspend, modify /etc/default/acpi , using:  SAVE_VBE_STATE=false POST_VIDEO=false USE_DPMS=false
[18:06] <monra> as i see from "lpstat -d" my default printer is deksjet but when i try lpr -P deskjet file.txt i get that there is no such file
[18:06] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: as far as i can see. No! see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49988/
[18:06] <nickrud> Sammy88, I am so happy to be able to suspend my laptop now :)
[18:06] <LjL> v507: then perhaps you shouldn't be compiling a server package...? ;)
[18:06] <sorush20> KlrSpz: my computer has ra0 as the wireless computer chip
[18:06] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK Now reboot your computer, hold your breathe, and pray that it works.
[18:06] <tim167> how do i make a video tutorial ?
[18:06] <Sammy88> nickrud: Thanks a lot, I will try that one
[18:06] <multi_io> LjL: ok thanks
[18:06] <sorush20> KlrSpz: how do I re arrange the script
[18:06] <LjL> v507: anyway, that looks like a successful make to me
[18:06] <Sammy88> nickrud: You didn't know that too?
[18:06] <KlrSpz> sorush20: lines 7 and 8 are the interfaces... EXT is your internet connection, the INT is your network
[18:07] <nickrud> Sammy88, know what?
[18:07] <LjL> KlrSpz: please, don't call people idiots. if a channel flood or some other emergency is happening, just call !ops
[18:07] <pate> hello
[18:07] <fotoflo> nickrud: you here?
[18:07] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: hahaha... i not then it was nice to meet you. :-) otherwise see you later!
[18:07] <con-man> dont suppose anyone can help me set up dual-head?
[18:07] <v507> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49989/
[18:07] <nickrud> fotoflo, hi there
[18:07] <KlrSpz> nah, it's pretty idiotic to paste 10+ lines in a room regardless of knowledge of a pastebin.. for crying out loud there's almost 1200 ppl in here with at least 30 actively speaking
[18:07] <pate> can anyone tell me how to install pichat?
[18:07] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: See ya. good luck
[18:08] <fotoflo> Nickrud: thanks for your help earlier... have another question for you :-)
[18:08] <LjL> KlrSpz: well personal insults are not appreciated in this channel anymore than pasting is.
[18:08] <Jordan_U_> con-man, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics ? ( not that I expect it to work unfortunately )
[18:08] <Odd-rationale> tim167: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/
[18:08] <LjL> v507: still looks like a successful make to me.
[18:08] <con-man>  Jordan_U yes I have
[18:08] <nickrud> fotoflo, sorry, you've had your question ;-p
[18:09] <tim167> Odd-rationale ha thanks
[18:09] <v507> then how to run the program??
[18:09] <fotoflo> I have never compiled apache before, but i have administered it on several (basic) systems... I would like to try and compile it now
[18:09] <fotoflo> currently i have it installed from apt-get
[18:09] <LjL> v507: that's another matter... does it not come with instructions?
[18:09] <x3roconf> what's wrong with apt-get?
[18:09] <LjL> fotoflo: so why would you compile it after these ubuntu guys have put so much effort into packaging it?
[18:09] <fotoflo> can i do an apt-get remove/clean and then try and compile? and if something goes wrong, just reinstall it?
[18:09] <nickrud> fotoflo, I echo LjL
[18:10] <Jordan_U_> !compile | fotoflo
[18:10] <ubotu> fotoflo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[18:10] <Odd-rationale> tim167: np
[18:10] <fotoflo> LjL: the default install isnt perfect for everyone's needs
[18:10] <Jordan_U_> LjL, Because he can? :)
[18:10] <LjL> fotoflo, no, if something goes wrong when you compile, you may need to remove each created file manually (and *find* them first).
[18:10] <Sammy88> nickrud, you meant the file /etc/default/acpi-support, didn't you?
[18:10] <LjL> fotoflo: and it's not stuff that can be changed from the runtime configuration?
[18:10] <nickrud> fotoflo, do  aptitude search ~i^apache , remove all those packages
[18:11] <nickrud> Sammy88, yes, isn't that what I wrote?
[18:11] <kyleBAKED> what is the vga mode for 1280x800?
[18:11] <fotoflo> ljl: find / -cmin 5 ?
[18:11] <nickrud> Sammy88, ah, I didn't
[18:11] <fotoflo> thanks Jordan_U... reading
[18:11] <LjL> fotoflo: that may work if nothing's been overwritten.
[18:11] <Sammy88> nickrud, It'll take a moment...
[18:12] <fotoflo> cool
[18:12] <ijn> hi all
[18:12] <fotoflo> never used aptitude before either
[18:12] <ijn> what do I need to to play video in flash from you tube?
[18:12] <LjL> !flash > ijn    (ijn, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:13]  * nickrud is off to eat lunch
[18:13] <Sammy88> nickrud, I will try out now StandBy... :-)
[18:13] <KlrSpz> !flash
[18:13] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[18:13] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[18:13] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Well?
[18:13] <Arrick> hrrm, Ive been trying all night to get my ubuntu 6.06.1 server install to actually use mod_rewrite in apache, but uhmm, it says it is enabled, but it doesnt work

[18:13] <Arrick> any suggestions?

[18:14] <omar> application**
[18:14] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: it worked. thank you. i had 3 options: 1. ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic 2.(recovery mode) 3.memtest86+
[18:14] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: very well! :-)
[18:14] <Sammy88> nickrud: Uhm, I got another problem yet...
[18:14] <Odd-rationale> ^Ocean^: Yes. But I would reccommend DSL or Puppy linux for that.
[18:14] <aloui> HI
[18:14] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Great! Enjoy.
[18:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale:  thank you again. i will recommend you.
[18:15] <Sammy88> nickrud: Whenever I start the standby mode it only shows me a window: "Please log in" - the station is locked...
[18:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: where can i find that pastebin again? url?
[18:15] <Sammy88> nickrud: I log in and it tells me that going into suspend mode didn't work (like I didnt notice...)
[18:15] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No need to reccomend me. I'm just a ordinary channel spammer
[18:15] <KlrSpz> Sammy88: it locks the screen before suspending, your pc just isn't suspending
[18:16] <Jordan_U_> ^Ocean^, Yes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[18:16] <Sammy88> KlrSpz: yes
[18:16] <johnficca> where does ubuntu keep the modules that load on boot?
[18:16] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49987/
[18:16] <x3roconf> !modules
[18:16] <ubotu> To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard !kernel, install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see !blacklist
[18:16] <omar> I have a problem in installing Amarok and Kaffeine from the Add/Remove application
[18:16] <LjL> omar: what problem?
[18:16] <Jordan_U_> omar, What is the problem?
[18:17] <Stingy> hi. is there a way to get the sources of linux-image-2.6.22-14-xen
[18:17] <Sammy88> KlrSpz: May this effect be based on the hibernate package?
[18:17] <johnficca> I'm having a problem with a wireless card of mine
[18:17] <omar> LjL: Can you give me the link where I can pastebin ?
[18:17] <Sammy88> KlrSpz: I tried a lot of things, and this was one of them
[18:17] <LjL> !pastebin > omar    (omar, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:18] <Sammy88> KlrSpz, installing the hibernate package
[18:18] <con-man> would anyone be willing to take a look at my Xorg.conf and tell me why my dual head isnt working?
[18:18] <KlrSpz> Sammy88: not a lot of hardware works properly with hibernate/suspend in linux
[18:18] <LjL> !kernel > Stingy    (Stingy, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:18] <NorDoc> hello guys
[18:19] <Sammy88> KlrSpz, That would be too sad if it couldnt be gotten to work because that is a -r-e-a-l-l-y important function to me...
[18:19] <con-man> I have done everything the help page said
[18:19] <Stingy> LjL, the kernel with xen is bugy i cannot use nvidia driver and there is no modul for clocking down the cpu
[18:19] <NorDoc> any ideas on how to turn ubuntu into a wireless hotspot?
[18:19] <Jordan_U_> Sammy88, What happens when you try to suspend?
[18:20] <KiD_ChAoS> a program i'm installing calls for me to do 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers' but which headers pacage sould i choose
[18:20] <johnficca> they have a driver for my card and when I use there install scripts the card starts working but then I have to run them every time I reboot...need help
[18:20] <Sammy88> Jordan_U_, The screen wents black, with light on. Then it shows a prompt like the station is locked: "Please enter your password" or something like that
[18:20] <Jordan_U_> Stingy, How would you use an nvidia module and why would you underclock a xen guest OS?
[18:20] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: does the pastebin only exist in the netherlands? http://paste.ubuntu-ger.org did not work
[18:20] <LjL> KiD_ChAoS: most likely linux-headers-generic
[18:21] <Jordan_U_> Sammy88, And if you try to enter your password?
[18:21] <KiD_ChAoS> ok LjL and what are these exactly?
[18:21] <LjL> Abyssal, it's hosted there...
[18:21] <Stingy> Jordan_U_, i speak of Dom0
[18:21] <pbx> hello everybody. I am trying to compute several times the MD5 sum of a file and it is ever changing
[18:21] <LjL> KiD_ChAoS: the kernel headers?
[18:21] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: I don't know
[18:21] <LjL> pbx: how are you doing it?
[18:21] <KiD_ChAoS> oh ok
[18:21] <aoupi> I dragged a new theme to the Appearance window, and now I can't get the old default theme back
[18:21] <pbx> Any explanation?
[18:21] <Sammy88> Jordan_U_, Then it logs me in and tells me (with a little popup in the right bottom corner) that suspending wasnt successfully done...
[18:21] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: and how was that with those PMs again? i need to register first?
[18:22] <pbx> LjL, md5sum file
[18:22] <johnficca> my card is a realtek trl8185L
[18:22] <LjL> pbx: are you sure the file is *supposed* to be static? i.e. not some system file that gets updated?
[18:22] <Odd-rationale> !register | Abyssal

[18:22] <pbx> LjL, it is a ubuntu CD image

[18:23] <omar> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49992/
[18:23] <mboldisc> Does anyone know how to convert a WMV file to FLV without losing the audio?
[18:23] <Sammy88> nickrud, Uhm my computer locks the session before it goes to suspend
[18:23] <LjL> pbx: hardware problems are likely. use "smartmontools" (run "smartctl -H /dev/yourdrive" and, for more detail, "smartctl -A /dev/yourdrive" to check the HD -- and to check the RAM, select MemTest in your GRUB boot menu)
[18:23] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: g2g see ya!
[18:23] <nickrud> Sammy88, did suspend ever work, like with the ati driver?
[18:23] <Jordan_U> Sammy88, Have you tried uswusp?
