[05:40] <ag> ctmjr, Yes, I typed a lower case L and the answer came as 'command not found'.
[05:40] <bigmack83_> scunizi, in apt, should i install mythtv front/backend ?
[05:40] <pipegeek> bigmack83_, sorry to hear it :(  just a quick google
[05:40] <stderr_> scunizi: Thing is, I have like 3 800 GB ntfs partitions, and Ubiquity likes to run ntfsresize on those. Multiple times. And that takes... quite a long time.
[05:40] <richardcavell> After Thursday, will Jaunty be deprecated in the sense that the standard advice will be to install Karmic, or Intrepid for long term support?
[05:41] <bigmack83_> pipegeek, yea i googled and found a few pages but its all the same. it should work but it doesnt.
[05:41] <ctmjr> ag: that is strange try it with sudo aplay -l
[05:41] <pipegeek> ag: you may need to install alsa-utils
[05:42] <scunizi> stderr_: stderr_ ubiquity doesn't do the resizing .. gparted does.. if you want get the gparted live cd and do it manually with that.. no matter.. you'll probably still have to resize since windows typically takes the entire hd
[05:42] <richardcavell> scunizi: to be perfectly correct, libparted does
[05:42] <stderr_> I mean, I don't want to resize.
[05:42] <pipegeek> haha
[05:42] <scunizi> bigmack83_: no idea.. never did an install of it.  I just pointed it out because often there are instruction on ir remote setups..
[05:43] <scunizi> richardcavell: yea... but new users can't relate to that
[05:43] <richardcavell> I know
[05:43] <stderr_> scunizi: I mean, I don't want to resize. I have free unformatted space for my install. It's just that Ubiquity always tries to calculate guided partitioning by default, and I don't want it to do that since it always takes a long time because of the size of my ntfs partitions.
[05:43] <bigmack83_> scunizi, yea. well thanks
[05:44] <|Leech|> Are Nvidia drivers organized by card number( 8800GT, 9800GT) or something else?
[05:44] <richardcavell> Anyone else here using Mac hardware?
[05:44] <stderr_> |Leech|: Legacy, Stable, Beta.
[05:44] <scunizi> stderr_: in every live cd and alternate cd there is a portion where you can choose guided partitioning, manual partitioning and one other.  choose manual
[05:44] <bostikforever> Hello please I'm new to LINUX I use an HP 6735... I can't get sound or video drivers
[05:44] <|Leech|> stderr_:Would different brands of 9400 GT cards use the same driver?
[05:45] <stderr_> |Leech|: Yes.
[05:45] <thedude42> |Leech|, generally no, nvidia and ati use a unified binary for their cards, and sometimes have lower limits on the cards they support or specific features (like mobile chipsets and tv tuners) that other drivers support
[05:45] <stderr_> |Leech|: The stable branch for the Linux driver right now is 185.* I believe.
[05:45] <stderr_> Well, last time I checked.
[05:45] <stderr_> I was running the beta branch, 190.* drivers.
[05:45] <richardcavell> thedude42: mind you, nVidia have legacy drivers going back to the TNT2
[05:45] <|Leech|> thedude42:I was meaning brands like MSI and Galaxy that both use nvidia chi[s
[05:46] <pipegeek> Oh.  Then yes, they would
[05:46] <stderr_> scunizi: Indeed. But, _before_ it shows me that alternative, it tries to calculate how much free space it can squeeze from existing ntfs partitions by running ntfsresize on them, which takes up a lot of time.
[05:46] <thedude42> |Leech|, right, the brands rarely deviate from the reference design, the drivers support the chipset (GPU)
[05:47] <|Leech|> I have an integrated Geforce 6100 and plan on upgrading into something in the 9x series. I am debating the MSI N94GT-MD512 or the Galaxy 95TGE8HUFEXX
[05:47] <scunizi> stderr_: I haven't experienced that.
[05:47] <|Leech|> thedude42:Okay, thanks
[05:47] <pipegeek> |Leech|, incidentally, the restricted drivers manager should handle the process of picking the right driver for your card and installing it
[05:47] <stderr_> |Leech|: Nvidia implemented an unified driver architecture so it doesn't matter if you have a card from a different vendor.
[05:47] <pipegeek> not sure if that had been mentioned yet
[05:47] <odourless> #chennai
[05:47] <|Leech|> pipegeek:Yes, that came in handy when my 6100 was set to 800x600 on a 17 inch screen and didn't give any higher modes
[05:48] <|Leech|> stderr_:Thank you
[05:48] <stderr_> |Leech|: You're welcome.
[05:48] <ag> ctmjr, with sudo aplay -l it shows '**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

[05:48] <stderr_> scunizi: Well, do you have 1x 40 GB, 1x 60 GB, 1x 250 GB and 3x 800 GB ntfs partitions in your pc? That's what's taking so long in mine, it's running ntfsresize on each one of them.
[05:48] <_akahige_> I changed my wm from xfce to gnome and there are still some residual pieces of xfce installed (most noticeably the boot screen). can I just rip all that stuff out in synaptic or could that break something?
[05:48] <|Leech|> Do you know any good channels to get help on choosing different hardware
[05:49] <Tracy-P> I have just installed Desktop 9.01 to a box and can't get to the desktop. Adding applet 13 fails with a Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0 and throws me back to a login screen
[05:49] <stderr_> |Leech|: Google both card model names, they should have comparisons and reviews.
[05:49] <pipegeek> scunizi: here's a terrible idea: if there are entire drives you don't want it to consider, you *could* remove the corresponding device nodes from /dev before running ubiquity :P
[05:49] <scunizi> stderr_: I have a 300gig, 500gig & 1terrabyte..
[05:49] <rsbaskin> How do I open the proper ports in iptables for Samba to work on Ubuntu?
[05:49] <|Leech|> stderr_:I am looking at both cards on Newegg and want someone else's opinion before I drop the money on them
[05:49] <leaf-sheep> !puregnome | _akahige_
[05:49] <leaf-sheep> _akahige_: Err. Hold.
[05:50] <scunizi> pipegeek: yea.. or just pull the plug on them .. but that's for stderr_ not me.. :)
[05:50] <pipegeek> oh oopsie
[05:50] <pipegeek> apologies
[05:50] <ag> FloodBot3, sorry, and thanks for the pasting advice.
[05:50] <leaf-sheep> _akahige_: Do try the second command --> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[05:50] <Wiseman> Ugh, I don't think I have ever gotten Brasero to burn a DVD Video
[05:50] <leaf-sheep> _akahige_: Or depends on your distro.  ;o
[05:50] <rsbaskin> This is for Ubuntu Server, so it would have to be from the command line.
[05:50] <stderr_> scunizi: But are all those ntfs? I have 3x 1 terabyte and 1... hey this is not an epeens discussion :S Anyways it takes a long of time to run ntfsresize on those so any ideas on how to make Ubiquity GTK UI skip calculating manual partitioning and go straight for the manual partitioning?
[05:50] <alexgee> hello everyone
[05:51] <StrangeCharm> what's the difference between the ubuntu cds and dvds?
[05:51] <Wiseman> Can someone help me get this up and running?  I want to burn a movie to a dvd but Kmediafactory both fail to do it
[05:51] <stderr_> |Leech|: I'd say googling both cards is your best choice. That's what I normally do.
[05:51] <losha> Wiseman: brasero seems to be a real mess. k3b is much better...
[05:51] <Wiseman> k3b eh?
[05:51] <stderr_> I pay for Nero Linux :S
[05:51] <scunizi> stderr_: nope.. I wouldn't put ntfs on anything but a small partiiton for windows to play games.. I much prefer ext3, reiserFS etc.. havent' tried ext4 yet
[05:52] <_akahige_> leaf-sheep: I actually followed the psychocats instructions ... but it still left some stuff behind (gnome is running fine)
[05:52] <|Leech|> stderr_:Thanks for the help. I am going to do a little more research. I am used to having to find drivers in XP.The last time I had to find drivers was on an ATI Rage Mobility card in a laptop from ~2000
[05:52] <Wiseman> Why on earth do windows partitions become so fragmented but every other file system doesn't?
[05:52] <Wiseman> lemme try this K3b
[05:52] <losha> Wiseman: when you say 'burn a movie to a dvd' what kind of file are you starting with?
[05:52] <stderr_> scunizi: I still use Windows sometimes so ntfs is my preferred choice for partitions full of music/vids/etc.
[05:52] <Wiseman> losha: Avi
[05:52] <ag> ctmjr, as I pasted, it seems that ubuntu cannot recognize my bttv card.
[05:52] <ziroday> Wiseman: better programming
[05:52] <leaf-sheep> _akahige_: I see. "aptitude show xubuntu-desktop" will display all XFCE-related packages. Copy and paste them. Remove/Purge the packages. Try that? :)
[05:53] <ziroday> !defrag > Wiseman
[05:53] <leaf-sheep> _akahige_: Also, what do you mean when you said some stuffs?
[05:53] <scunizi> stderr_: then it looks like you're going to have to put up with ubiquity doing it's thing.
[05:53] <losha> Wiseman: so are you just burning the file, or do you need to convert it to dvd format for a dvd player?
[05:53] <alexgee> my xp stopped booting and i tried 3 windows installs which all failed so i installed ubuntu studio
[05:53] <stderr_> scunizi: Funny. I should file a bug report :P
[05:53] <Wiseman> losha: I want to play it on my home dvd player
[05:54] <Wiseman> burning it as data has never been a problem
[05:54] <jaychou> so what are you doing
[05:54] <losha> Wiseman: then unless your player has divx support, you need something like devede to convert the avi to dvd format...
[05:54] <Wiseman> I've done it in windows all the time but I got rid of windows.
[05:54] <Wiseman> losha:
[05:54] <stderr_> losha: Most players come with divx support anyways.
[05:55] <ctmjr> ag: ok thats just aplay try this sudo cat /proc/asound/cards
[05:55] <_akahige_> leaf-sheep: some stuff meaning... things like xfce settings, taskmanager, xfwm4, various libs and icons...
[05:55] <Wiseman> I just want to watch it on my DVD player and I cannot for the life of me get this running right
[05:55] <losha> stderr_: Odd, I haven't found that to be true. Mostly philips players, and not all of those, and of those, not all perform well..
[05:56] <Wiseman> tovid is supposed to convert to DVD format
[05:56] <Wiseman> I don't know if that's what I need or what
[05:56] <stderr_> losha: I have bought LG, Samsung, Daewoo and Sony. All of those with divx/mpeg4 support.
[05:56] <Wiseman> and k3b doesn't say it can burn dvd movies
[05:57] <scunizi> Wiseman: www.handbreak.fr
[05:57] <losha> Wiseman: tovid *does* convert to DVD format. k3b doesn't convert, it just does the burning part...
[05:57] <Wiseman> well brasero burns fine, it just doesn't burn movies
[05:57] <thedude42> Wiseman, burning DVD movies is simply a matter of placing the layout of the directories and files in a way that the players expect
[05:57] <emberetherorb> I have found DeVdee to work great for transcoding avi to dvd format
[05:57] <emberetherorb> very simply
[05:58] <thedude42> i concur, devedee is one of the most useful apps to produce DVD video disks
[05:58] <cgroza> hello, when i try to update its says internal server error
[05:59] <pipegeek> cgroza: ie, when you try to update your apt package list?  you could try switching to a different mirror; yours may be down at the moment
[05:59] <pipegeek> or just waiting
[05:59] <losha> Wiseman: so you actually need 2 programs, a converter and a burner. I recommend devede to convert and k3b to burn. If you'd rather use tovid, that's up to you. This is one area where windows does better than linux...
[05:59] <cgroza> pipegeek,yes
[06:00] <pipegeek> cgroza, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors
[06:00] <cgroza> pipegeek,ok ill wait
[06:00] <stderr_> Whoa, install from USB is speedy.
[06:00] <pipegeek> that works too :)
[06:00] <ag> ctmjr, it shows '0[ intel      ] : HDA-Intel - HDA Intel  and  then HDA Intel at 0x70300000 irq 22.
[06:01] <losha> stderr_: got a favorite model among all those divx players? Do tell...
[06:02] <stderr_> losha: LG has worked fine for me always, and they are all dirt cheap. Although they sometimes have stuttering with high bitrates, but those (hurr durr legal backups of) regular 700 MB movie rips play just fine.
[06:03] <stderr_> losha: What do you need it for? Only DVD and divx/mpeg4 play?
[06:03] <ctmjr> ag: ok see if you can load the module for the sound sudo modprobe saa7134-alsa
[06:03] <stderr_> losha: If you watch MKV stuff you should check one of those popcorn hour boxes. Dunno about them, though.
[06:03] <leaf-sheep> _akahige_: Oh sorry. I'm playing video games. If you're talking about the dot folders in your home directory (/home/aka/.xfce-goodies) and such. You can remove those.   I'm seeing these in synaptic
[06:04] <stderr_> lol
[06:04] <leaf-sheep> _akahige_: What specific packages?
[06:04] <somebody> How do I find the parralel device in /dev
[06:04] <somebody> ?
[06:04] <somebody> Please
[06:04] <losha> stderr_: thanks. The philips play anything I shove at them, and they have a usb port so I don't even have to burn to disk, but I find the sound is often muddy when there is speech on music. It appears to be the decoder, as the same file sounds much better when I play it on a PC
[06:04] <yoyoned> somebody: lp0
[06:05] <pipegeek> somebody, /dev/lp0, I believe
[06:05] <pipegeek> you mean the parallel port, right?
[06:05] <emberetherorb> lol, I have this sneaking feeling that walking lost his patience
[06:05] <Richi_> goodmorning, i would like to use msn messanger with my new installed UBUNTU, can anybody help me to get some information, i have non expirience with this system. Tahnks
[06:05] <azlon> !lamp
[06:05] <losha> emberetherorb: or went off his meds...
[06:05] <xpistos> oh man I am having a slight issue and I need some help real bad. I did a chmod on one of my folders and now I none of my files show up. Help
[06:06] <emberetherorb> true losha
[06:06] <losha> stderr_: so I'd like to find a box that plays avi's with superior sound quality...
[06:06] <vikasap> Has anyone here got Xen 3.3 installed for Jaunty ?
[06:06] <_akahige_> leaf-sheep: there's a bunch, but... xfce4-utils, xfce4-settings, xfwm4, etc. there are also some xubuntu packages, but some of them -- like the xubuntu-gdm-them -- are tied to ubuntu/gnome packages that seem like they'll hose me if I rm them
[06:06] <stderr_> losha: nettop + mythbuntu
[06:07] <pipegeek> xpistos: it's possible you made the folder unopenable by you.  chmod u+rwx the folder
[06:07] <emberetherorb> richi I would suggest downloading the latest version of pidgin and setting up your account for msn using it.
[06:07] <losha> stderr_: yes, good idea...
[06:07] <vikasap> I have followed this link http://www.infohit.net/blog/post/running-xen-on-ubuntu-intrepid-and-jaunty.html
[06:07] <ag> ctmjr, it shows, 'WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compt, it will be ignored in a future release.
[06:07] <xpistos> pipegeek: On my file server I ran "chmod -R 766 /folder"
[06:08] <alexgee> hello, i hit a little challenge here... i need to patch some c files part of a dkms package and then make, install, etc... if anyone has enough time to mentor me
[06:08] <vikasap> But it fails to boot through the Xen hypervisor
[06:08] <stderr_> losha: Anyways, gotta go, nice helping ya buddy
[06:08] <xpistos> pipegeek: Now, I can't see files in that folder from wither my remote computer or on my file server
[06:08] <losha> stderr_: thank you...
[06:08] <Vague> I was planning to finally upgrade to Jaunty. I have a question though. I did a lot of customizing the look of my Ibex, and I was wondering is there a way I can preserve all of my settings?
[06:09] <pipegeek> xpistos: kay.... that's kind of a weird mode.  Why 766?  you probably rendered the folder (and all of its contents) not openable by anyone but the owner.  The executable bit (1), for folders means "this folder can be traversed"
[06:09] <ctmjr> ag: yea do not worry about that now run sudo modinfo saa7134-alsa
[06:09] <losha> Vague: why bother? Something you *need* in Jaunty?
[06:09] <brandonc503> heya.. so insted of trying to use two monitors on one comp,, can i use two comps for one ubuntu?  like two computers use same harddrive(s)  but two different desktops on two different monitors.. cause ubuntu has that multi desktop thing
[06:09] <Vague> losha, I just want to preserve all of my settings O.o the look of my desktop took quite a long time.
[06:10] <pipegeek> xpistos: 777 or 755 would make more sense.  If you wanted all files to be read/writable but not executable, then you could do something like: "find /path/to/directory -type f -exec chmod 666 {} \; ; find /path/to/directory -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;"
[06:10] <xpistos> pipegeek: I tried to reset it to 777 but that didn't do it
[06:10] <losha> Vague: and my point was: don't upgrade if you don't need to, and save yourself the potential for a lot of headaches...
[06:10] <pipegeek> recursively?
[06:10] <somebody> I got an error with cat file > /dev/lp0 .
[06:10] <Vague> losha, ah, I figured there was fresh new stuff in Jaunty
[06:11] <Vague> Not so much?
[06:11] <durt> brandonc503, how in the world do you connect a hardrive to two computers?
[06:11] <pipegeek> xpistos: ie, did you do "chmod -R 777 /the/folder"?
[06:11] <scunizi> brandonc503: there are some google links I read in the educational sector where they are doing just that.. been a while though
[06:11] <pipegeek> or just "chmod 777"
[06:11] <pipegeek> (no -R)
[06:11] <losha> somebody: and you want us to guess what the error was?
[06:11] <somebody> I can't determine if lp0 is really my paralel device
[06:11] <joebodo_> durt you can use a remote X session or a few other options
[06:11] <Tiders> !flash
[06:11] <pipegeek> somebody, what do you mean?  /dev/lp0 is defined as being the first parallel port.
[06:11] <xpistos> pipegeek: yes
[06:11] <joebodo_> !xdmcp
[06:11] <losha> Vague: there's always fresh stuff, but if you don't need it or won't use it...
[06:12] <xpistos> pipegeek: from the server
[06:12] <Wiseman> ok, I am now encoding a dvd using tovid
[06:12] <Wiseman> so exciting!
[06:12] <pipegeek> kay, what were the permissions before?
[06:12] <losha> Wiseman: very good!
[06:12] <syam1> Hi, I need help in rescuing my HDD
[06:12] <brandonc503> so what would a linux cluster be for?
[06:12] <syam1> Can anyone help me out plz?
[06:12] <somebody> I tried to print to a printer attached to the lp0
[06:12] <Wiseman> losha: it seems to be outputting to a single MPG file....is that right?
[06:12] <yoyoned> !ask|syam1
[06:13] <brandonc503> syam1: maybe  <--- doest that count as help?
[06:13] <somebody> But I got acccess denied
[06:13] <pipegeek> xpistos, and, just for sh*ts and giggles, have you tried restarting samba now that the directory permissions are set correctly (assuming they are)?
[06:13] <Wiseman> the encoding thing says "encoding video stream to video.m2v" but the only ouput file is a .mpg
[06:13] <durt> brandonc503, parallel computing
[06:13] <syam1> I have a huge issue with HDD.
[06:13] <yoyoned> syam1: such as
[06:14] <xpistos> pipegeek: I am not using samba. I am using sshfs, but I can't see the files from the server.
[06:14] <pipegeek> xpistos, wait, you can't see them when logged in locally?
[06:14] <jason____> somebody, you almost certainly can't output to lp0 without using sudo
[06:14] <pipegeek> xpistos, can you cd into the directory and ls?
[06:14] <syam1> Yoyoned, Is there a way I can communicate with you separately from this window?
[06:14] <alexgee> i'm found instructions on a forum to solve my issue but I am a little bit confused over a few things, would someone want to read the post quickly and give me a few hints? i basically need to apply a patch to the source of a usb driver in a dkms package
[06:14] <syam1> I'm new,
[06:14] <pipegeek> xpistos, I guess what I mean is, "what do you mean you can't see them"
[06:14] <xpistos> pipegeek: Let me see
[06:14] <losha> Wiseman: I think so. A dvd is basically just a set of mpeg files in a slightly customised format (,VOBs) with a few other files (.IFOs). Eventually you'll end up with a bunch of .VOB and .IFO files suitable for burning to dvd.
[06:14] <brandonc503> durt: thats what its called .. what i asked.. its kinda like having one drive networked.. i guess i can just use ftp window

[06:17] <pipegeek> xpistos, that's a little odd... could you do ls -l in the directory and post the results on pastebin?
[06:17] <ctmjr> ag: ok now do sudo cat /proc/asound/cards again just let me know if you have a new card no need to paste it all
[06:17] <xpistos> pipegeek: server or remote?

[06:17] <pipegeek> I mean, it doesn't matter---I just want to be able to see the permissions on those files, and on the containing directory as well.  If you can do that by sshing in (can't see why not), then go for it

[06:18] <losha> syam1: try explaining something about your issue here first.
[06:18] <jason____> somebody, that won't work.  you're effectively doing (sudo cat file) > /dev/lp0 - the ">" is with your permissions.  Try using sudo -i.
[06:18] <syam1> I just pasted my issue in http://paste.ubuntu.com/300259/
[06:20] <xpistos> pipegeek: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/300262/
[06:20] <pipegeek> syam1, the data's probably still there, you just need to rebuild the partition table.  If you don't have the exact sizes of the former partitions in blocks, that may be difficult.
[06:21] <vikasap> I am not able to get the Xen installed on Ubuntu Jaunty , Could anyone help me with it ?
[06:21] <pipegeek> syam1, deleting partitions doesn't delete their contents; it just removes all record of where they were on the disk (leaving you free to overwrite them at a later date, should you choose to)
[06:21] <syam1> pipegeek, that is exactly my problem is.
[06:21] <pipegeek> ah
[06:21] <xpistos> pipegeek: That is from my sshfs share on the entire Storage folder that I am having trouble with
[06:21] <pipegeek> syam1, well, you could grep the disk looking for filesystem headers
[06:21] <yoyoned> somebody: maybe you should use lpr instead of sendingig date directly to the device
[06:21] <syam1> Is there a solution to this?
[06:21] <pipegeek> a huge drag, but doable
[06:21] <ag> ctmjr, no, it shows 'command not found' and when I use the command as root it shows only one card i.e. the HDA-Intel.
[06:21] <pipegeek> xpistos, OK, checking it out
[06:22] <Tracy-P> I'll do a dist-upgrade and get back to this after some sleep.
[06:22] <losha> syam1: Some people report success restoring a deleted partition table using the program 'testdisk' http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[06:22] <somebody> Here: sudo -i cat embossing/emboss\ test.brl > /dev/lp0
[06:22] <syam1> I have very imp information on the NTFS partitions which is needed to be recovered.
[06:22] <somebody> I still get the error
[06:23] <losha> syam1: see also http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Partition-Rescue.html#AEN102
[06:23] <jason____> somebody, no.  Run "sudo -i".   This will put you in a shell with superuser permissions.  Then run cat file > /dev/lp0
[06:23] <losha> syam1: note that it may not be possible to recover from what you've done...
[06:23] <somebody> Okay
[06:23] <somebody> Lol
[06:24] <pipegeek> syam1, your pastebin says you installed gpart.  gpart is the tool you'll need to find the lost filesystems.
[06:25] <pipegeek> syam1, it'll tell you where it thinks the filesystems begin and end.  You can then use fdisk to create new partitions at those locations, and see if they'll mount
[06:25] <syam1> How do I find it? I'm sorry. But, I'm new to Ubuntu.
[06:26] <pipegeek> syam1, no prob.  So, boot from a livecd (if you don't have an installed system remaining), and sudo apt-get install gpart.  Then do sudo gpart /dev/sda.  This'll tell you what it believes your partition table probably should look like.  It'll take a longish time, as it's searching the whole disk
[06:26] <pipegeek> xpistos, sorry to keep you waiting.  Hold on
[06:26] <frybye> Hi - re WindowsEasy-Transfer system - anybody used it - how much does it manage automatically and how much does one still have to do by hand?
[06:27] <frybye> damn it - wrong +
[06:27] <frybye> #  sorry..
[06:28] <q0_0p> how do i delete all files found using locate command
[06:28] <syam1> Pipegeek, ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gpart
[06:28] <syam1> Reading package lists... Done
[06:28] <syam1> Building dependency tree
[06:28] <syam1> Reading state information... Done
[06:28] <syam1> Package gpart is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[06:28] <syam1> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[06:28] <syam1> is only available from another source
[06:28] <syam1> E: Package gpart has no installation candidate
[06:28] <pipegeek> xpistos: OK, so I'm less interested in what sshfs has to say then the actual permissions.  I should have told you to log in locally.  And while you're at it, please tell me the permissions of every directory in the path to Storage/
[06:29] <pipegeek> syam1: you need to add the universe and multiverse repositories, I believe.  This can be done from the "software sources" control panel
[06:29] <xpistos> pipegeek: Ok let me get that
[06:29] <syam1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/300265/
[06:30] <pipegeek> syam1: right.  That's because the installer's not actually on the livecd, nor is it (likely) in the "main" repository.  Add universe and multiverse, then try again
[06:30] <milo__> does anyone know smthg like moviemaker for linux?
[06:30] <Polarina> syam1: There's another process using dpkg.
[06:30] <pipegeek> oh.
[06:30] <pipegeek> I'm a big idio
[06:30] <pipegeek> t
[06:30] <pipegeek> syam1: what Polarina said
[06:30] <pipegeek> >_<
[06:31] <xpistos> pipegeek: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/300267/
[06:31] <ctmjr> ag: ok what about arecord -l you might have to use sudo
[06:31] <pipegeek> xpistos: who is "x"?
[06:32] <xpistos> pipegeek: that is my username
[06:32] <LiraNuna> you all read http://www.computerworlduk.com/community/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=2603&blogid=17 ?
[06:32] <pipegeek> oh, guess it doesn't matter anyway
[06:32] <pipegeek> Storage/
[06:32] <pipegeek> sigh
[06:32] <pipegeek> dunno dude.  Sorry.
[06:32] <q0_0p> how do i delete all files found using locate command?
[06:32] <pipegeek> locate
[06:33] <pipegeek> err, wow.  This isn't a terminal
[06:33] <LiraNuna> if you're into FOSS humor, this is a great article
[06:33] <alkisg> I've switched my clients to using NFS homes, and now they're experiencing "grayed windows" every few minutes; like if the active window hangs for a few secs. Has anyone else experienced this with NFS?
[06:33] <pipegeek> q0_0p, locate | xargs -l 100 rm
[06:33] <pipegeek> say
[06:33] <ltspadmin> how to install display driver of thinclient on ubuntu 9.04
[06:34] <henryC> some mountall error killed my koala VM.  I was about to install a new VM and I see that the Koala disc has an option to run inside Windows.  Is this better than running in VMWare inside Windows?
[06:34] <pipegeek> q0_0p: make sure to run locate with a filter, or you'll end up deleting everything on your filesystem ;)
[06:34] <alkisg> ltspadmin: better ask this in #ltsp
[06:34] <xpistos> pipegeek: ok how do I change the owner
[06:34] <pipegeek> chown
[06:35] <ag> ctmjr, I found '**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]   Subdevices: 3/3   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0   Subdevice #1: subdevice #1   Subdevice #2: subdevice #2'.
[06:35] <q0_0p> pipegeek, what if i do locate something > file.txt
[06:35] <q0_0p> pipegeek, and delete what file.txt outputs
[06:35] <q0_0p> pipegeek, ?
[06:36] <pipegeek> q0_0p, that works too
[06:36] <q0_0p> pipegeek, i dont know how to delete my output in file.txt
[06:36] <pipegeek> again, make sure you run locate with a filter, or you'll end up deleting everything
[06:36] <pipii> Hello
[06:36] <pipegeek> ooh
[06:37] <Azeotrope> Anyone knows what are the variables I can put in a file name to be the actual date? in need something like backup-21-10-2009
[06:37] <pipegeek> well, just pipe the contents of the file into that xargs command above
[06:37] <pipegeek> ie,
[06:37] <pipegeek> q0_0p, xargs -l 100 rm < file.txt
[06:37] <ag> pipegeek, I already installed  alsa-utilis. Thanks.
[06:38] <pipegeek> q0_0p, or, alternatively, if the file isn't very long, you could go with "rm `cat file.txt`"
[06:38] <q0_0p> pipegeek, thanx i learned something
[06:38] <pipegeek> np :)
[06:38] <pipii> I've been using ssh tunneling + local socks to proxify through my server, is there a package to easy setup an auth socks5 proxy, without needing to open the ssh connection everytimes?
[06:38] <q0_0p> pipegeek, -l 100 is for the first 100 lines
[06:38] <ctmjr> ag: well am about out of ideas try this and see if this module get's loaded first sudo rmmod saa7134-alsa then sudo modprobe saa7134-oss
[06:38] <pipegeek> oh I'm a big idiot
[06:38] <pipegeek> hold on, q0_0p
[06:38] <xpistos> pipegeek: I don't know what happened but it s working again?
[06:39] <pipegeek> q0_0p: no it's not
[06:39] <pipegeek> q0_0p: what it does is to parcel out the contents of the file
[06:39] <xpistos> I didn't get to do the chown on it though cause I didn't have the correct params
[06:39] <pipegeek> q0_0p: it removes 100 files at a time
[06:39] <q0_0p> pipegeek, oh
[06:39] <pipegeek> q0_0p: that way you don't end up with a really really really long command line that overflows
[06:39] <q0_0p> pipegeek, can i just do cat rm file.txt?
[06:40] <q0_0p> pipegeek, i dont have a lot of files i want to delete
[06:40] <pipegeek> q0_0p: doesn't file.txt contain a list of file?
[06:40] <q0_0p> pipegeek, yes
[06:40] <pipegeek> oh oh
[06:40] <pipegeek> sorry, misread
[06:40] <q0_0p> when doing locate search > file.txt
[06:40] <pipegeek> "cat rm file.txt" is meaningless,
[06:40] <pipegeek> but you could do "rm `cat file.txt`" (note the backticks)
[06:40] <q0_0p> pipegeek, alright
[06:41] <q0_0p> pipegeek, oh so its like two commands in one
[06:41] <pipegeek> (the backticks mean, "substitute whatever I get by running this command for the command", so you end up with "rm file1 file2 file3" etc
[06:41] <pipegeek> hmm, actually, that's not safe
[06:41] <pipegeek> yeah, don't do that
[06:41] <pipegeek> just do "xargs rm < file.txt"
[06:42] <yaris123456789> is it possible to "pause" a running process ? does it consume resource to remain in the paused status ?
[06:42] <pipegeek> or "cat file.txt | xargs rm" (which is equivalent)
[06:42] <maco> yaris123456789: ctrl+z pauses
[06:42] <q0_0p> pipegeek, cool
[06:42] <q0_0p> pipegeek, i guess i will start reading xargs man pages
[06:42] <q0_0p> pipegeek, to fully understand
[06:42] <yaris123456789> maco: possible to do it from command line ?
[06:42] <pipegeek> righto
[06:42] <yaris123456789> maco: looking for a command
[06:43] <q0_0p> pipegeek, thx for guiding me in the right direction
[06:43] <pipegeek> q0_0p: xargs just takes whatever it reads on stdin and sticks it on the end of the command line
[06:43] <q0_0p> pipegeek, ah i c
[06:43] <ag> ctmjr, as adviced the first module loaded but the second one said 'FATAL: Module saa7134_oss  not found'.
[06:43] <maco> yaris123456789: to a process that isnt running in that shell?
[06:43] <pipegeek> q0_0p: so "echo 'bloop' | xargs rm" ends up running "rm bloop"
[06:43] <yaris123456789> maco: process runs in background
[06:43] <q0_0p> pipegeek, but bloop is not a file
[06:43] <yaris123456789> maco: perhaps pause it via its PID
[06:43] <pipegeek> or fleep, flort, foobaz as the case may be
[06:43] <pipegeek> right, that was just an example
[06:43] <q0_0p> pipegeek, ah
[06:43] <maco> yaris123456789: ooo hmm not sure on that. i know if its the foreground process, you hit ctrl+z
[06:44] <q0_0p> pipegeek, i understand now
[06:44] <pipegeek> "echo 'bloop' | xargs flort" turns into "flort bloop"
[06:44] <pipegeek> coolbeans
[06:44] <q0_0p> pipegeek, why dont i use || instead of --> | ?
[06:44] <pipegeek> q0_0p they mean different things.  "|" means "take the output of the preceding command, and tie it to the input of the next one", so that when the first one prints, the second one reads
[06:44] <losha> yaris123456789: yes, you can suspend a process by sending is a STOP signal, then continue it by sending a CONT signal...
[06:45] <pipegeek> q0_0p: "||" means "or"
[06:45] <q0_0p> pipegeek, gotcha
[06:45] <pipegeek> completely unrelated
[06:45] <q0_0p> pipegeek, cool
[06:45] <q0_0p> pipegeek, thx for helping me out
[06:45] <pipegeek> np :)
[06:46] <pipegeek> if you were to use "||" instead, it would end up meaning "stop at the first command that succeeds".
[06:47] <pipegeek> counterintuitively
[06:47] <pipegeek> shutting up now
[06:47] <emberetherorb> lol
[06:48] <maco> pipegeek: so its: "try this. did it work? try this. did it work? how about this?"
[06:48] <pipegeek> yep :)

[06:59] <Ihateapache> again
[06:59] <kota> can anyone here help me out
[06:59] <emja> bazhang: thx for the advice before (re suggish jaunty). the links you referred me to seemed to do the trick
[06:59] <Ihateapache> whats up kota
[06:59] <kota> i am trying to acess gmail from the cmnd line
[06:59] <Jesi> whats that red line for?
[06:59] <pipegeek> haha, nifty
[07:00] <pipegeek> kota: I've successfully used mutt for that purpose before
[07:00] <tzolkin> anyone knows this function: 'Window Select_Window(Display *dpy)"? is it return the handle of a window?
[07:00] <Jesi> in Quasel IRC
[07:00] <emja> kota: use mutt, connect via imap
[07:00] <soldats> kota: you should use an app called mutt
[07:00] <pipegeek> haha
[07:00] <pipegeek> THERE IS A CONSENSUS
[07:00] <emja> pipegeek: :)
[07:00] <soldats> bingo
[07:00] <emja> but but but... this is the interwebs
[07:01] <pipegeek> haha
[07:01] <soldats> stranger things have happened
[07:01] <kota> will it b a straightforward thing
[07:01] <kota> or will i have to tweek things
[07:01] <pipegeek> kota: you'll probably want to screw around with your .muttrc a bunch until it's just the way you like it
[07:01] <soldats> a few small tweaks but thats it
[07:01] <pipegeek> people have probably posted theirs online
[07:01] <pipegeek> the man page is helpful
[07:01] <kota> thanks guys
[07:01] <kota> i will look in to it
[07:02] <kota> i have the whole night ahead to figure it out
[07:02] <pipegeek> hehe
[07:02] <kota> :)
[07:03] <soldats> you could easily set it up with a very simple config in about 10 minutes
[07:04] <Ihateapache> ill just reinstall the whole server
[07:04] <Ihateapache> this is making me tired
[07:05] <Ihateapache> there should be a command to rebuild site files

[07:05] <Ihateapache> and i guess
[07:05] <alexgee> ew, defaults :)
[07:06] <Ihateapache> defaults > apache2: Syntax error on line 281 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default: No such file or directory

In order to get Avahi to broadcast the server I have to manually restart it with service avahi-daemon restart.  I guess my question is how do I change it so ubuntu loads afpd then loads avahi-daemon?

[07:13] <hyperstation01> hmm no one wants to answer it huh
[07:13] <pipegeek> Azeotrope, my guess would be ro.archive.ubuntu.com is down at the moment.... which wouldn't surprise me, as someone else was saying something similar earlier
[07:14] <pipegeek> yeah, looks like it

[07:15] <genshihebi> tzolkin, xprop
[07:16] <Azeotrope> Thanks again, pipegeek
[07:16] <pipegeek> np
[07:16] <pipegeek> tzolkin... err... what language?
[07:16] <tzolkin> C
[07:16] <pipegeek> ok, then what toolkit?
[07:17] <Ihateapache> I'm making the problem worse
[07:17] <Ihateapache> i deleted the apache configuration
[07:17] <Ihateapache> (/etc/apache2)
[07:17] <Ihateapache> thinking it would rebuild
[07:17] <Ihateapache> only to be left with
[07:17] <Ihateapache> .: 44: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars
[07:17] <tzolkin> thanks :) genshihebi
[07:18] <Ihateapache> anyone think i should just run rm -rf and fuck it
[07:18] <Ihateapache> rm -rf *
[07:18] <Ihateapache> make all the pain go away
[07:18] <bfdhud> anyone?
[07:18] <elky> Ihateapache, please dont suggest that ever.
[07:19] <CWinLx> I'm trying to browse to a dir but I get Permission denied
[07:19] <Ihateapache> "rm -rf *" kills your hd, dont run it guys
[07:19] <pipegeek> I made the horrible horrible mistake of suggesting that as a joke in this channel two years ago.  never again.
[07:19] <CWinLx> shouldn't "su cd dir" work?
[07:19] <CWinLx> @Zeus01:~$ su cd ~/Unknown id: cd
[07:19] <Ihateapache> i removed apaches config directory
[07:19] <Ihateapache> how does i rebuild
[07:19] <CWinLx> @Zeus01:~$ su cd ~/
[07:19] <CWinLx> Unknown id: cd
[07:20] <CWinLx> why do I get this probme?
[07:20] <stew> CWinLx: do you have a user named "cd" on your system?
[07:20] <pipegeek> CWinLx, su doesn't work that way
[07:20] <CWinLx> ohh
[07:20] <Ihateapache> su -c (command here)
[07:20] <Ihateapache> or
[07:20] <CWinLx> I'm trying to get into this dir
[07:20] <CWinLx> and permission denied
[07:20] <Ihateapache> sudo su
[07:20] <Ihateapache> then enter your pw
[07:20] <Ihateapache> then give it 777
[07:20] <jason____> I believe the standard Ubuntu solution to this is to use "sudo -i"
[07:21] <CWinLx> 777 can't be good
[07:21] <pipegeek> CWinLx, also, cd isn't a program that you can just run as root---you need to start a shell as root, then cd in
[07:21] <Ihateapache> it would be a last resort
[07:21] <stew> CWinLx: its not good
[07:21] <pipegeek> sudo su - like Ihateapache said
[07:21] <CWinLx> so why is he saying this
[07:21] <pipegeek> just become root for the moment, then "exit" when you're done being root
[07:22] <pipegeek> ok, beddie bie for pipegeek
[07:22] <pipegeek> night folks
[07:22] <CWinLx> good night
[07:22] <johntramp> where is the grub config on the live cd?
[07:23] <johntramp> -does it even have one?
[07:23] <Azeotrope> how much swapt do you need when you have 4 gb of ram? 8 gb??
[07:23] <johntramp> Azeotrope: that was always the rule-of-thumb, swap=2*ram
[07:24] <monkeyman> how do i make packages that are available for backtrack available in ubuntu?
[07:24] <Azeotrope> johntramp, isn't that too much? i barely use 2%
[07:24] <nickapalooza> no, it's true
[07:25] <fool__> monkeyman: sudo aptitude install nmap etc....
[07:25] <johntramp> Azeotrope: it sucks when you run out of swap.... unless the hdd space is limited i'd use 8gb
[07:25] <Ihateapache> if you have 4 gigs of ram, you just need 512, just in case
[07:25] <Omen20> hiffy, from what ive heard the 64bit version of Ubuntu has awful flash support. Anyone have any experience?
[07:26] <Ihateapache> i got flash working in 64bit before
[07:26] <Omen20> sorry that was supposed to be hi
[07:26] <nickapalooza> hey i'm running windows 7 lol
[07:26] <monkeyman> fool__: not all the packages i need are available in the repos
[07:26] <nickapalooza> chilling in ubuntu channel..
[07:26] <jason____> Azeotrope, Very little, unless you want to hibernate, in which case you need 4GB
[07:27] <losha> Azeotrope: the old 2*ram rule doesn't scale to the modern, vast ram sizes. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[07:27] <kkady32> hi,i have problem with apt-get update :http://www.pastebin.org/47774
[07:27] <fool__> monkeyman: the devs of the individual package might maintain them in ppa or something, check each one
[07:27] <monkeyman> nickapalooza: you should be kicked out then, lol
[07:27] <fool__> monkeyman: or manual install
[07:27] <monkeyman> nickapalooza: just kidding
[07:28] <crazy> can i get support here? i have hardy 8.04, and i cant click with the mouse outside of menus
[07:28] <robot682> Hello
[07:29] <monkeyman> fool__: it's a pain in the butt if i install it manually
[07:30] <fool__> monkeyman: there's the main repos, then ppa, then the dev/project's individual repos (like virtualbox)
[07:30] <fool__> that's about all that i've seen
[07:31] <IoIoIo> you know what I don't understand about Ubuntu
[07:31] <IoIoIo> is everyone thinks it is like this community pass the joint thing when it's actually a start-up company by a clever billionaire
[07:31] <robot682> I was just wondering if something is possible.  I have a wiki and a webpage set up on the same server for local access.  I was wondering if it is possible get them each to resolve to different names i.e.  entering "wiki" in the browser would go to the wiki and "home" to the website
[07:32] <monkeyman> fool__: thanks for the suggestions
[07:33] <Ihateapache> Your apache2 configuration is broken, so we're not restarting it for you.
[07:34] <Ihateapache> now what?
[07:34] <Ihateapache> does that translate to "Your apache2 configuration is broken, so you're SOL."

[07:54] <Ihateapache> i guess ill have to reinstall the whole server
[07:55] <Ihateapache> i reinstalled apache 5 times
[07:55] <nic1> fool_, i think my system has got that problem with status file.a ny idea how i can fix this?
[07:55] <losha> nic1: looks like you lost your status file. Any idea how that happened?
[07:55] <Hew> Hi. How do I modify the flags in apt that show some packages as 'manual' and others as 'auto removable' that I don't want to be?
[07:56] <nic1> losha, i remember i did a mistake of downloading and ran ./configure of ubuntu package and then make of that gave errors while trying to instal skype..so how can i solve this now?
[07:57] <nic1> losha, please help me out in getting my status file back,..i think i have messed up things greatly..
[07:57] <losha> nic1: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg    See any files in there?
[07:58] <nic1> losha: yes, there are many files in that
[07:58] <losha> nic1: anything called status or status-old or some such?
[07:58] <Ihateapache> Thanks guys, Ill just reinstall my whole server. That seems to be the best way to fix it.
[07:58] <fool__> Ihateapache: did you try purgethen reinstall ?
[07:59] <Ihateapache> yes

[08:00] <Ihateapache> do you wanna know where my apache problems started?
[08:00] <Ihateapache> i can almost write a country song about it
[08:01] <Ihateapache> or the apache blues
[08:01] <fool__> Ihateapache: sudo aptitude purge apache2-common
[08:01] <fool__> Ihateapache: sudo aptitude purge apache2-common apache2
[08:01] <fool__> then reinstall
[08:02] <losha> nic1: I notice your dpkg seems to be looking for /usr/local/var/dpkg/status. I don't have that on my 8.04 system. I'm wondering if your system used to have a link between  /usr/local/var/dpkg and /var/lib/dpkg and that you've lost your link. Can any 9.04 users confirm this?
[08:03] <losha> nic1: whats does ls -l /usr/local/var  say?
[08:03] <fool__> losha: no
[08:03] <teolicy> (parrot from 10 minutes ago) Hi. I'd like to enable automatic security updates on my Jaunty server. Is installing cron-apt with 'apt-get install cron-apt' the "right way", or is there a more specific tool for the task of software updates?
[08:04] <losha> fool__: can you be a bit more specific?
[08:04] <nic1> losha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/300298/
[08:05] <fool__> losha: there's no var in /usr/local
[08:05] <nic1> losha: above is my ls -l /usr/local/var
[08:06] <fool__> status is there alright
[08:06] <losha> nic1: well it contains a status file. So why is your dpkg complaining it can't read it? And why are you using dpkg anyway? You shouldn't need anything except apt-get or aptitude or synaptic...

[08:09] <docmax> hello, i get a popup when a user is connecting to pidgin... can i change the way this popup looks? i think its not depending on pidgin...
[08:09] <nic1> losha: i gave sudo
[08:09] <cyris|> hey everyone. does silverlight work on linux atm or will it ever?
[08:10] <nic1> losha:, i get this error after installing from apt-get and when i try to use: /usr/bin/skype.real: symbol error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv
[08:11] <emberetherorb> docmax: are you refering to when one of your alias is connecting to pidgin or when one of your contacts is connecting?
[08:11] <bazhang> http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/ cyris| you mean this?
[08:11] <losha> nic1: that is because skype was built for a different version of the library that you have.
[08:11] <iceroot> cyris|: moonlight
[08:11] <nic1> losha: so what can i do now?
[08:12] <losha> nic1: ok, try the sudo dpkg -i skype... again. Pastebin the command and it's output...
[08:12] <docmax> emberetherorb, when a contact is connecting
[08:12] <iceroot> nic1: why not using skype from the repos?
[08:12] <cyris|> bazhang, iceroot thanks
[08:12] <docmax> the popup is top right. i want it bottom right for exa.
[08:13] <emberetherorb> docmax: I believe that it is controlled by pidgin and there may b a plugin that changes it
[08:13] <nic1> iceroot: skype from repos gives me this error: /usr/bin/skype.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv

[08:17] <faragos> Thank you for having fun greeting
[08:18] <losha> nic1: one of the bug reports says: "I have seen several folks report similarly, and each case, they had a local/private copy of qt4 installed on their box somewhere.  Please double-check if that is the case." Does that apply to you?
[08:18] <fool__> something's really wrong with your dpkg nic1
[08:18] <sam_> but a doing every step i could
[08:18] <sam_> i fell
[08:19] <bazhang> sam_, which game and installed from where
[08:19] <losha> fool__: that's possible, but unlikely...
[08:19] <nic1> losha: fool__ how can i check my qt4??
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> sam_: claifyu what you are doing.
[08:19] <optimizer> q
[08:19] <sam_> i am try to play call of duty 4
[08:19] <optimizer> i have a program installed; i know it's at /usr/bin/fbsetbg how do I query apt or dpkg for wshat package provided this file?
[08:19] <nic1> fool__: i am understanding that something is wrong with my dpkg but couldn't findout what is the problem..
[08:19] <losha> nic1: try locate libQtXml for starters
[08:19] <sam_> its on iso(windows version)
[08:20] <iceroot> !wine | sam_
[08:20] <sam_> i triede wine
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  if you want to run windows games you need to uise WINE and theres no guarentees that any of them wil work with wine
[08:20] <iceroot> sam_: then post a detailed question please
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  check the wine app database for the specific ga,e
[08:20] <iceroot> sam_: in one line
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | sam_
[08:20] <bazhang> sam_, check the appdb it may or may not work
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> now we have the actual 'question' boiled down to the actual problem :)
[08:21] <bazhang> though cod4 does work if memory serves
[08:21] <sam_> ok thanks for the help
[08:21] <sam_> ?
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> Last game ive tried in wine is Plants Vs Zombies :)
[08:22] <teolicy> As of late I've been getting hash sum mismatches when doing apt-get upgrade (and bzip2 error on apt-get update). Changing my source servers in /etc/apt did no good (tried 4), neither did apt-get clean nor  did borrowing the neighbour's wifi connection for the test. I tried both 9.04 and 9.10, and was totally at a loss for the reason (started thinking crazy things, like bad hardware in my ISP's caching server). Searching forums, I found
[08:22] <teolicy> suggestion to switch from http:// to ftp://, and lo and behold, the problem disappeared. ANY half reasonable explanation for this insanity?

[08:22] <teolicy> (some packages worked fine)
[08:23] <kassah> is there a way to tell which way I am connected to my Wireless Router.. a, b, g or n?
[08:23] <iceroot> sam_: quake3 is a native linux version, no need wine
[08:23] <ZachK_> yo yo yo all of ya's
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  that new 'quake live' works in ubuntu  (the browser based quake game just released a few weeks ago)  and see what iceroot  said.
[08:23] <Sahkolihaa> Call of Duty 4 on Linux - I wouldn't even try it.
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  theres also several games out that use the Q3 source engine that are very nice
[08:24] <Sahkolihaa> Guild Wars doesn't run that well.
[08:24] <iceroot> sam_: go to the website from id-software, download the linux installer and put your pak-files into that dir. its running nativ
[08:24] <sam_> but sir i have a very week internet connection
[08:24] <iceroot> sam_: installer is 20mb
[08:24] <iceroot> !who | sam_
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> http://en.djl-linux.org/ -- a GPL 'steam like' front end for installing manyt games in linux. (gpl and other licenses)
[08:24] <sam_> can you tell is there any procedure to increse the speed of the internet
[08:24] <iceroot> sam_: also tehre is openarena in the repos, its like q3 and free
[08:25] <losha> teolicy: dunno. Did the forums have any theories...?
[08:25] <iceroot> sam_: buy a faster connection
[08:25] <losha> nic1: still there?
[08:25] <teolicy> losha: No, it was just what some dude says.
[08:25] <sam_> yes i will
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> djl is worth grabbing if you like games :)
[08:25] <teolicy> losha: To be honest, it kinda strengthens the bad cache in ISP theory (ftp is less cached than http), but that's /so/ hard to believe.
[08:25] <sam_> but now this time i have to use this
[08:26] <kassah> iceroot, any way to get wireless N working...
[08:26] <krummaluf> so uh
[08:26] <krummaluf> what is gnome
[08:26] <krummaluf> ?
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> !gnome
[08:26] <sam_> what about my  question i have asked you?
[08:26] <kassah> iceroot, right now the stupid wireless is my bottle neck... rather than the internet connection
[08:26] <nic1> losha: ya here, trying to pastbin the output you asked previously
[08:26] <krummaluf> does that mean i can change the look of my desktop?
[08:26] <krummaluf> hello?
[08:26] <nic1> but pastebin is not working
[08:26] <iceroot> kassah: make a manual connection trough network-maager (add wireless connection) and choose the settings
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  yes. the linux 'desktop' is more customizeable then you can imagine
[08:26] <krummaluf> im using ubuntu
[08:26] <losha> teolicy: if the ftp repo is separate from the http repo, then that implies corruption in the http repo. The only other explanation, that http is corrupting downloads somehow, seems less likely, though stranger things have happened...
[08:27] <krummaluf> well
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  and ubuntu used gnome for its default window manager/desktop.
[08:27] <krummaluf> ok
[08:27] <krummaluf> well how do i change it then
[08:27] <krummaluf> i hate this brown on brown
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  you can install other window managers.., or play with gnome or compiz themes
[08:27] <teolicy> losha: That's the thing, I tried four repos. Four! (including us, uk and fr, I mean, they gotta be serious repos).
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  explore the settings menus for starters.
[08:27] <krummaluf> ok
[08:27] <iceroot> !enter | krummaluf
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> try, then ask :)
[08:28] <kassah> iceroot, nothing about speed or network type in Network Manager config for Wireless Networks
[08:28] <teolicy> losha: I don't even know how to approach my ISP with this. I mean, telling this to the entry-level support guy in the ISP... I'd die inside! :)
[08:28] <krummaluf> i was trhyin to talk to drwillis
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> !info gnome-art
[08:28] <nic1> losha: can i message you in personal window about the output?
[08:28] <kassah> iceroot, unless that's what a MTU is?
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  the gnome-art tool also lets you install extra theme 'parts'  but theres a lot of themes i9n the repos by default.
[08:28] <iceroot> kassah: hm, and your card support N? like the AP?
[08:28] <sam_> bot
[08:28] <kassah> iceroot, the AP is N.. yeah they made me install it when I got the connection
[08:28] <halega> krummaluf, go System -> Preferences -> Appearance and select a new theme
[08:29] <teolicy> losha: It has the bad keywords 'hash', 'corrupt', 'your fault', 'not sure' and (drums) 'linux'!! (/me runs away in fear, screaming "Oh no, just not Linux!")
[08:29] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  many of the 'looks' are handled by various 'theme parts' such as the icons, window decoration,  and widgets. yuou can pick and choose. and tweak all day long
[08:29] <kassah> iceroot, the card is an Intel ABGN integrated
[08:29] <teolicy> :)
[08:29] <sam_> some one tell me about slow inter net connection
[08:29] <iceroot> kassah: i dont know if it is supporting n
[08:29] <iceroot> kassah: dont know the card
[08:29] <Nitrodist> !ask
[08:29] <kassah> iceroot, Intel 4965 ABGN
[08:29] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  if its slow its slow. what sort of answer are you expecting?
[08:30] <losha> teolicy: well, they are all mirrors, so a bad file in the main one would just be replicated. Can you download the same file via http and ftp and compare them? Then you'd need to talk to someone running the servers I guess. ISP would be my last port of call..
[08:30] <kassah> iceroot, hmm
[08:30] <losha> nic1: you can PM me if you must...
[08:30] <teolicy> losha: that's quite a good idea. I'll see if I still have the URL.
[08:30] <kassah> well I gotta install Windows at some point anyway... maybe I'll do that and see how the speed differs
[08:30] <sam_> dr_willis  i know that ,but is there any procedure to increse the speed
[08:31] <kassah> if it doesn't... then I know it's the connection
[08:31] <iceroot> sam_: buy a faster connection
[08:31] <nic1> losha: libQtDBus is there in two locations on my machine
[08:31] <sam_> i am using mobile for connecting internet
[08:31] <losha> nic1: Aha. which two locations?
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  if the servers are only giving you stuff at 10k/s then it wont matter.. but theres not any magical trick to make your dialup run as fast as a T1
[08:32] <sam_> i am a computer student , i dont have to much money for bying the expensive net connection
[08:32] <krummaluf> lol
[08:32] <losha> sam_: and if there were, the isps that sell faster connections for more money would find a way to cripple it...
[08:32] <docmax> whats the correct packet name for adding the kde desktop env.?
[08:32] <iceroot> docmax: kubuntu-desktop
[08:33] <docmax> thanks
[08:33] <sam_> losha thanks
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  go to some place that has free wireless and use that I guess.
[08:34] <Nitrodist> or university
[08:34] <losha> nic1: Um, I don't think my client accepts PMs...
[08:34] <nic1> losha: you there?
[08:34] <Nitrodist> or cruise in your neighborhood for WEP routers/open routers
[08:34] <nic1> losha: ok forget about PM, my locate libQtDBus gives it as present in two locations, is that a problem??
[08:35] <alyssum> I'm looking for help on setting up LDAP in Karmic.  I have checked the docs already but they are out of date (filed a bug against them already).  I started a Ubuntu forum post but no responses.  Is anyone here running LDAP in Karmic??
[08:36] <sam_> dr_willis will you tell me ,how i open the mobile net configuration option from terminal
[08:36] <losha> nic1: I think so. I think that's exactly what the bug report was saying. You have two different versions of libQrDBus, one of which is missing something that skype depends on. Where exactly are the two files?
[08:37] <iceroot> alyssum: #slapd and #ubuntu+1
[08:37] <nic1> losha: /usr/share/qt4/lib/libQtDBus.so and /usr/lib/libQtDBus
[08:37] <alyssum> thanks iceroot
[08:38] <nic1> losha: you there? the above two are the locations? is that's what you are asking?
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> sam_:  no idea. I dont use mobile networking.. i rarely use wireless
[08:40] <losha> nic1: yes, that's what I wanted to know. The error message you gave earlier says that skype.real is using the version in /usr/lib and that's the one that's missing the symbol. There's a way to make it use the other one, but I don't remember what it is...
[08:41] <krummaluf> how do i change the colors on this freakin thing
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  system preferances appearances - customize your theme
[08:42] <losha> nic1: ok, try typing: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/qt4/lib skype with the repo version and see if that works better
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  or select a different theme, and wallpaper
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> krummaluf:  try 'Hight contrast large invert' :)
[08:43] <DougM> Does anyone know if Hamachi runs won Ubuntu?
[08:43] <DougM> im trying to setup a VPN through it to connect to a vista machine and was wondering if this was possible
[08:47] <JECHO> yo
[08:47] <xiambax> Is there anyone available that knows a little info on video drivers
[08:47] <xiambax> I installed ubuntu and all worked fine but my video drivers
[08:47] <CountDeMonet> intel video drivers?
[08:47] <nic1> losha: skype with the repo version meaning apt-get or from skype.com?
[08:48] <JECHO> xiambax whats wrong with them
[08:48] <xiambax> so i have an MSI R4350 and installed the drivers
[08:48] <xiambax> and when i rebooted my system is stating
[08:48] <xiambax> invalid enviroment block
[08:48] <xiambax> at grub
[08:48] <CountDeMonet> Anyone know why karmic RC won't actually install. boots from the cd, but pressing enter on install does nothing
 that has nothing to do with the video driver
[08:49] <xiambax> ok so can i repair grub some how?
[08:49] <bazhang> CountDeMonet, #ubuntu+1 for karmic
[08:49] <CountDeMonet> ok, thanks
[08:49] <JECHO> countdemonet sounds like youve got a corrupted disk or something... try burning another
 yes, try googling how to install grub
[08:49] <CountDeMonet> JECHO: disk is fine in windows
 which version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:49] <bazhang> !grub
[08:50] <nic1> losha: after giving the path also, i am getting the same error
[08:50] <xiambax> 9.10 beta
[08:50] <bazhang> xiambax, karmic channel is #ubuntu+1
[08:50] <guntbert> JECHO: please don't tell people to  "burn another" - they should !md5sum check their downloaded images first
[08:50] <j1mp492> skype for Ubuntu is so useless impossible to get the mic's to work.
 read what gunbert said to me above.
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> given that skype is a closed source app.. its hard for the ubuntu people to 'fix' its problems. it did work for me last i tried it. i did have to move my mic to  the front input for some reason i recall.
[08:52] <CountDeMonet> JECHO: i did, i am
[08:53] <j1mp492> Dr_Willis: Okey, i tried to get my mic to work for some days then i gave up
[08:54] <losha> nic1: sorry, I'm out of ideas at this point. Maybe someone else can help....
[08:55] <krummaluf> this color scheme is terrible

[08:58] <lunks> Hi, I am using Ubuntu in English, have an American keyboard, but would like to write in Portuguese. Unfortunately, I can't seem to use accentuated characters like I would do if Ubuntu was set to Portuguese. Is there someway I can enable accentuated characters on this scenario?
[08:59] <manojmalik> Enter text here...hi

[09:31] <jitender> 9.04 version
[09:31] <nrdb> jitender: I use it...
[09:31] <jitender> so how we can install
[09:31] <psinetic> jitender, what is preventing you from installing it?
[09:31] <psinetic> sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[09:31] <bazhang> jitender, via the package manager
[09:31] <jitender> thunderbird have .exe
[09:31] <psinetic> negative
[09:31] <psinetic> wait
[09:31] <psinetic> what?
[09:31] <jitender> and ubuntu not support this
[09:31] <psinetic> no no no
[09:32] <FloodBot2> psinetic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:32] <bazhang> jitender, no need for that with ubuntu
[09:32] <psinetic> thunderbird works in ubutnu
[09:32] <jitender> then wat is needed
[09:32] <psinetic> jitender, go into terminal, and type this:
[09:32] <psinetic> sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[09:32] <jitender> what
[09:32] <bazhang> jitender, you need to install your software from the package manager, not 3rd party web sites
[09:33] <nrdb> jitender: System->Admisitration->Synaptic .. in the search type "thunderbird" and install it.
[09:33] <deo> es-web: depends on the laptop manufacturer usually..
[09:33] <jitender> psinetic, next step
[09:33] <bazhang> jitender, synaptic package manager is how you do it, or via add/remove, or the command line via the terminal
[09:34] <psinetic> jitender, what do you mean next step? it should install
[09:34] <bazhang> jitender, that is it. there is no second step
[09:34] <jitender> terminal
[09:34] <psinetic> jitender, did it install it already?
[09:34] <jitender> ok its installing
[09:34] <jitender> yes
[09:34] <bazhang> jitender, in future, use the package manager
[09:34] <jitender> ok
[09:35] <jitender> i will
[09:35] <nrdb> I hate pidgin... no history... I have a malfunctioning mdadm raid5 array, when booted from the CD, mdadm can't seem to do anything with it :( why
[09:35] <bazhang> jitender, ie dont download .exe from 3rd party websites as that is for windows
[09:35] <waterloo>  nrdb: why hate pidgin?
[09:35] <PSP> is thier a way of making music in ubuntu??
[09:35] <PSP> like fruity loops
[09:35] <DougM> bazhang: in that thread one of the steps is "Next, you should test that lm-sensors works correctly. Run the "sensors" command and check the output. Example output is below: "  How do I run the sensors command?
[09:35] <jitender> ok
[09:35] <nrdb> waterloo: not user friendly..  no history..
[09:36] <PSP> hello
[09:36] <bazhang> DougM, cant remember let me check the link
[09:36] <psinetic> jitender, also, if you can't find an alternative of the windows-based program that uses .exe, you can run .exe (windows based apps) emulated in ubuntu using wine
[09:36] <psinetic> sudo apt-get install wine
[09:36] <PSP> helloo.... is thier a way of making music in ubuntu like fruity loops in windows
[09:36] <psinetic> if you haven't used it before, worth a try
[09:36] <waterloo> nrdb: er.. like a little , keystroke is bad
[09:36] <jitender> ok , this will work (wine)
[09:36] <jitender> i have intalled wine
[09:37] <TTilus> installed karmic, reboot after install and after "GRUB loading, please wait..." nothing happens
[09:37] <psinetic> TTilus, use #ubuntu+1
[09:37] <jitender> ok
[09:37] <nrdb> I have a malfunctioning mdadm raid5 array, when booted from the CD, mdadm can't seem to do anything with it :( why
[09:37] <TTilus> psinetic: okay
[09:38] <docmax> i'd like to remove the startup logo and have normal console output... how can i do this?
[09:39] <jitender> installation done , ldconfig defered prcessing now takinf place --after this on command prompt showing
[09:40] <jitender> hello,psinetic
[09:40] <psinetic> jitender, now check in applications and thunderbird should be there
[09:40] <jitender> under which
[09:40] <psinetic> applications->Internet
[09:40] <bazhang> DougM, I ran sudo sensors-detect and answered Y to everything (as in the link)
[09:40] <gianiaz> anyone here uses elisa?
[09:41] <tstebut> Hello
[09:41] <iceroot> docmax: you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst     remove quit and splash from your kernel
[09:41] <jitender> ok
[09:41] <tstebut> I have a problem with evolution
[09:41] <jitender> its showing
[09:41] <jitender> thanks
[09:41] <jitender> buddy
[09:41] <docmax> iceroot, thanks
[09:41] <bazhang> DougM, you may also wish to install sensors-applet if you end up not using conky
[09:41] <tstebut> I can't reveive last day mails
[09:41] <psinetic> jitender, no problem :)
[09:41] <iceroot> docmax: or better, from the grub-entry to your kernel
[09:41] <jitender> now i can configure mails
[09:41] <tstebut> ...but only today
[09:41] <DougM> bazhang: yeah i ran through that and answered YES to everything
[09:41] <DougM> but after it says something about running hte command
[09:42] <bazhang> DougM, says what
[09:42] <nrdb> how do I fix mdadm so I can use the array it is currently saying "md1 : inactive sdd2[3](S) sdb2[4](S) sdc2[2](S) sda2[0](S)"
[09:42] <bostikforever> I'm having problem with my sound. It isn't working. I've followed all the instructions on forums... nothing works
[09:42] <docmax> i have grub2 (karmic)
[09:42] <psinetic> so who here does graphic design with Blender?
[09:42] <bazhang> docmax, this is not karmic support channel
[09:42] <iceroot> bostikforever: and we shoudl guess what ubuntu-version, which soundcard and which forum-entry?
[09:42] <DougM>  bazhang: Run the "sensors" command and check the output. Example output is below: .. thats after I answer yes to everything
[09:43] <iceroot> docmax: #grub and #ubuntu+1
[09:43] <docmax> allright...
[09:43] <jitender> ok , iam going for lunch
[09:43] <jitender> bye
[09:43] <bazhang> DougM, okay, what is the problem then
[09:44] <DougM> bazhang: im not sure what the command is to run the sensors to check the output
[09:44] <bostikforever> iceroot: sorry. Jaunty Jackalope, AD198x
[09:46] <bazhang> DougM, you did also run sudo sensors-detect correct?
[09:46] <DougM> bazhang: yeah
[09:46] <nrdb> why does "# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda2" give the error "mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sda2 for write - not zeroing"
[09:46] <DougM> bazhang: and answered yes to everything
[09:47] <DougM> bazhang: now i wana test it and ake sure it worked and it says to type in the sensors command.. but i dont know what the command is
[09:47] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[09:47] <chacal> hii
[09:48] <hkuieagle> type sensors
[09:48] <psinetic> does anyone have a list of some good software that might not be advertised well on ubuntu? i'm taking a look at some decent stuff. to help clarify, networking tools are nice
[09:48] <bazhang> DougM, at the bottom it says you can do some modprobe'ing or simply restart
[09:48] <bazhang> DougM, the command is :   sensors
[09:49] <ShapeShifter499> I just reinstalled my system and I need to change all my files I copied from my old linux so I can freely change them as I like, how do I do that? use chmod? or what?
[09:49] <indraveni> hi all

[09:50] <psinetic> does it give you an error?
[09:50] <indraveni> could someome please help me
[09:50] <bazhang> indraveni, you installed windows over it?
[09:50] <_Narc_> Hey everyone
[09:50] <indraveni> no
[09:50] <indraveni> not over it, it was other partition where i installed windows
[09:50] <indraveni> say ,a, b c are partitions
[09:51] <indraveni> a i have linux, b is NTFS created from a and copied data
[09:51] <indraveni> over c I installed windows
[09:51] <bazhang> DougM, are you clear there
[09:51] <ShapeShifter499> is it chmod or what?? I need to know, the permission of this files are for root, I want it set so I don't have to use sudo to change them, how do I do that?
[09:51] <indraveni> afer windows installation, the content of B is invisible
[09:51] <DougM> bazhang: yeah.. thanks a lot
[09:51] <indraveni> its not visible from linux and windows
[09:51] <DougM> bazhang: appreciate it
[09:51] <indraveni> is there a way to get my data back
[09:52] <bazhang> DougM, you saw the part about restarting, right?
[09:52] <indraveni> is my data safe or its been removed by windows?
[09:52] <mojo_o> indraveni, sure you installed to the right partition? did you mount them all and poke around?
[09:52] <DougM> bazhang: yeah
[09:52] <bazhang> ok
[09:52] <indraveni> yes i have mounted them all
[09:52] <DougM> bazhang: thanks again
[09:52] <indraveni> i even remember the parttions with size
[09:53] <mojo_o> so it's blank?
[09:53] <_Narc_> Hi folks, anyone on Jaunty having the "Not all updates can be installed" error message with update-manager proposing a partial upgrade ?
[09:53] <smoo2> hello, having fstab issues, I've got a line which wont mount at boot, but does mount if I do "mount -a" what do I need to change?
[09:54] <yoavsbg17> join #ubuntu-il
[09:54] <ShapeShifter499> anyone know?
[09:54] <mojo_o> indraveni, i suggest googling for some ntfs recover software
[09:55] <_Narc_> smoo2: can you copy the line from your fstab file ?
[09:55] <indraveni> should i search for recovey software that run on linx or win
[09:55] <ShapeShifter499> ??
[09:55] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, chmod would work
[09:55] <yoavsbg17> Hi all
[09:56] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: ok, like this------->    "sudo chmod -x 777"
[09:56] <chacal> hi
[09:56] <yoavsbg17> I'm on Ubuntu
[09:56] <smoo2> curlftpfs#share:password@host /mnt/media fuse allow_other,rw,user, 0 0
[09:56] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, chmod 666 file
[09:56] <smoo2> _Narc_: it's an ftp share
[09:56] <yoavsbg17> somebody can tell me how i could to connect into my Skype accunt ?
[09:56] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, yeah sudo if you need it and 777 is for execution
[09:57] <Polarina> yoavsbg17: You shouldn't be using Skype.
[09:57] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: and this will change the permission of my files so I can change them and not have to be root right?
[09:57] <_Narc_> smoo2: Oh, I don't know about that then, I thought it was a partition you wanted to mount
[09:57] <rimvis> hello anybody knows how to fix it i cant restart my PC
[09:58] <rimvis> N4N173 syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu3: restart.
[09:58] <rimvis> Oct 14 21:48:48 N4N173 exiting on signal 15
[09:58] <bostikforever_> rimvis: fix what?
[09:58] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, it will allow ALL users to change the file. not always the best idea
[09:58] <rimvis> bostikforever,  when i click on restart it dont restart
[09:58] <smoo2> _Narc_:  the parts about mounting at boot aren't any different are they? the share mounts ok, i just can't get it to mount without me doing somehting
[09:58] <nrdb> why does "# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda2"  give me the error "mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sda2 for write - not zeroing"
[09:58] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, chown could be better if your special user was part of a special group
[09:58] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: I just want my user to be able to change it
[09:59] <schmukkk> the notifications are really small
[09:59] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: so what do I do?
[09:59] <schmukkk> like point 5 font
[09:59] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, you could create a new group, use chown to change the group ownership of the file and add the user to that group :-)
[09:59] <_Narc_> smoo2: Well, maybe you made a mistake while writing the corresponding line in your fstab file
[09:59] <yoavsbg17> Polarina can you answer me in the praivate chat ?
[10:00] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, or.. :-) just use chown to make the owner the user you want to change the file :-)
[10:00] <ShapeShifter499> ok...
[10:00] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: ok hold on
[10:00] <trijntje> hi all. My videocard seems to have died overnight, can someone help me debug this? I know absolutely nothing about hardware
[10:01] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, sudo chown user:root file     ..user being the username
[10:01] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: could I do that to a whole directory worth of files needing changing?
[10:02] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, ok, that's scary :-)
[10:02] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, do you use the su utility at all?
[10:02] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: no
[10:03] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, if the problem is having to sudo everything, try su. i can't even remember if the root account is enable by default
[10:03] <mojo_o> *sigh*
[10:04] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: I copied these files from a old partition(things like the desktop) and they are stuck in root only permissions, so can I use chown on a whole directory?
[10:04] <_Narc_> Ok, Update manager is giving me the "Not all updates can be installed message" message proposing me a partial upgrade, and I'm on Jaunty, not Karmic beta which is strange, any idea anyone ? Thanks.
[10:05] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: surelly you tryed to update to 9.10, and update failed
[10:05] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, ahh, then this is ok, yes you can use chown with wildcards, just be carefull you don't hit other things. perform the operation on these files from within a subfolder of your home
[10:05] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: now you have got 2 syestems repositories
[10:06] <kbp> does anyone know any "pdf editor" that is free? I just need to change a number and a date on the pdf page so I dont need a rich-features one. Thanx
[10:06] <_Narc_> No, that's the strange part, I read the thread on the forum and I'm sure I didn't tried to upgrade to 9.10.
[10:06] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: well, did you add anything to repositories?
[10:07] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, chown username:users * ;#be carefull where you do this!
[10:07] <_Narc_> BlouBlou: I always wait for the final and do a clean install every time
[10:07] <_Narc_> BlouBlou: yes, a few things
[10:07] <BlouBlou> kbp: openoffice can use pdf
[10:07] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: try to remove it
[10:07] <BlouBlou> they*
[10:07] <_Narc_> BlouBlou: Ok, I will, thanks. It's broken dependencies or what ?
[10:08] <rtr_> hi there, i have an bash question .) i want do echo all rar-files wich i need to unrar in a directory. So first, i do  "echo *.part{1,01,001,0001,00001}.rar" to find all multi-parts, but then i need a way to echo all wich dont have *part* in their filename. is this possible?
[10:08] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: no, ubuntu is searching programms in repositorie, what is not avaiable
[10:09] <_Narc_> BlouBlou: Ok, I'll remove thrid parties then.
[10:09] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: okay
[10:09] <kbp> BlouBlou: thank you just tried OO3 but it cannot open PDF, however I found pdfedit from repository :)
[10:09] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: ok was this ok?     I chowned the following dir:   ~/Desktop, ~/ Videos, ~/Music, ~/Documents, and ~/Pictures with this command "sudo chown -R"
[10:10] <MrSchmo> when will 9.10 be release?
[10:10] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: I mean this command "sudo chown user:root -R"
[10:10] <BlouBlou> !karmic | MrSchmo
[10:11] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, not quite
[10:11] <_Narc_> BlouBlou:  Thanks, it was indeed the repos for Awn and Miro who were messing things up.
[10:11] <Guest65509> hi all
[10:11] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: huh?
[10:12] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: you're welcome :)
[10:12] <Guest65509> i am new and i am from india
[10:12] <Guest65509> i need u r help
[10:12] <BlouBlou> !ask | Guest65509
[10:12] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, if they are just for the user, use: sudo chown -R username:users ~/Desktop
[10:12] <trijntje> Where should I look to diagnose a non-functional videocard? X-server dies saying "fatal server error, no monitor found"
[10:12] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, note the group is 'users'
[10:12] <_Narc_> BlouBlou: So, will it solve by itself with time because devolpers will add the missing packages ?
[10:12] <trijntje> The card worked fine yesterday
[10:13] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: but the way I did it was ok too right??
[10:13] <Guest65509> are there any traning partners in india for ubuntu course??
[10:13] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: surelly packet were in your pc database and in repository's, but it was not avaiable to download
[10:13] <nic1> there are two libQtDBus in my machine, which leads to problems in using skype. how can i remove one?
[10:13] <_Narc_> BlouBlou: Ok, I see. Thanks.
[10:13] <BlouBlou> _Narc_: no problem ;)
[10:13] <Guest65509> ubottu
[10:14] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o : or did something else happen?
[10:14] <BlouBlou> !bot | Guest65509
[10:14] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, well you should be able to use them, but if it's in your home folder it looks a little messy with group root :-)
[10:14] <Guest65509> are there any traning partners in india for ubuntu course??
[10:14] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, try it out ;-)
[10:15] <yoavsbg17> what is all the IRC comand ?
[10:15] <BlouBlou> yoavsbg17: use /help
[10:15] <nic1> there are two libQtDBus in my machine, which leads to problems in using skype. how can i remove one?
[10:15] <nic1>
[10:16] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: its working ok now, files I couldn't delete or move I can now without the "sudo mv" command
[10:16] <mojo_o> doesn't pidgin emulate skype?
[10:16] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, yep. it's all good :-)
[10:16] <BlouBlou> !spkype | mojo_o
[10:16] <mojo_o> !skype | mojo_o
[10:17] <BlouBlou> mojo_o: no, it doesn't do it, you need download another programm
[10:17] <mojo_o> BlouBlou, :-(
[10:18] <ShapeShifter499> ok anyone know why this is happening?, I right click a file or set of files and choose delete or drag them to the trash icon, but when I go to delete they don't show up...but I do find them in "/home/myuser/.local/share/trash/files/"
[10:18] <ShapeShifter499> why is this happening
[10:18] <ShapeShifter499> ?
[10:19] <BlouBlou> ShapeShifter499: try to don't use enter as putuation please
[10:19] <ShapeShifter499> sorry BlouBlou
[10:19] <sam_> $irc object
[10:19] <sam_> $conn object
[10:20] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, i don't quite understand where you don't see them
[10:20] <bazhang> sam_, ?
[10:20] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: I don't see them in nautilus trash shortcut
[10:20] <ltspadmin> S32ltsp-client-setup what is the use of this command in ltsp server ubuntu 9.04
[10:20] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, refresh?
[10:20] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: I did
[10:21] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, nfi sorry
[10:22] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: I'm sorry I'm not good with irc typing shortcuts, whats nfi?
[10:22] <previouslyunname> no idea
[10:22] <previouslyunname> well, abbreviated
[10:22] <ltspadmin> The hard disk can be used with LILO or GRUB, to load the Linux kernel and initrd. You can also load the Etherboot bootrom image from the hard disk, and it will act like a bootrom. but how can i  do ???
[10:22] <mojo_o> the f can be interpreted in many ways. freakin' was my intent :-)
[10:23] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: oh..ok
[10:24] <previouslyunname> given that you can tell ubuntu 9.04 to simulate/do a dry run of an install in the command line, IIRC, is there a way to do the same thing in synaptic with multiple files?
[10:25] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, what happens if you create a new shortcut to that trash folder manually?
[10:26] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: haven't tried
[10:26] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: I'll try now
[10:28] <Ascavasaion> My system feels as if it is running slower and slower as in the usual thing with Windows machines.  How can I see what is using resources, what resources are left, and tweak it?
[10:28] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: w8 whats the trash command?
[10:29] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, trash command?
[10:29] <previouslyunname> ascavasaion, system monitor should do the trick
[10:29] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: yea like how to get it running...so I can make the new shortcut
[10:30] <Ascavasaion> thanks previouslyunname Will look now.
[10:30] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, well i don't use gnome, no idea how to make shortcuts on it :o

[10:32] <mojo_o> ShapeShifter499, i think i understand what you mean now, what i was thinking was maybe the shortcut to the trash is pointing to the wrong folder

[10:33] <ShapeShifter499> mojo_o: oh
[10:33] <previouslyunname> does anybody know if it's possible to get ubuntu to reset and rebuild itself based off the distro servers?
[10:33] <Huffameg> mojo_o: yup, i got it.. but does that mean that you don't think there's any big difference?
[10:34] <previouslyunname> amartin: is that the name of your computer, it's mother board, your network, your router?
[10:34] <kevin__> hi

[10:58] <c10ud8> just wipe the swap partition
[10:58] <_Space_Cace_> for the same reason you encrypt your /home partition.
[10:59] <c10ud8> it will still work next boot

[11:00] <NerveClasp> I have a question! why when I mount ntfs partition by one user I can't use it by another? standart parameters window does not change properties of access(((
[11:00] <Kris07> Anybody know how to put videos on an iPod?
[11:01] <_Space_Cace_> i belive there is some ipod stuff in the repos.
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> convert with winff Kris07  then copy them over. is one way
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> !info winff
[11:02] <NerveClasp> how can I change access rights to mounted NTFS partitions???
[11:03] <Billiard> NerveClasp: do you want all users to have full rw access?
[11:03] <c10ud8> !info chown
[11:03] <NerveClasp> Billiard, yes!!!
[11:03] <sharperguy> !chown
[11:03] <Billiard> NerveClasp: add a mount option umask=000
[11:04] <NerveClasp> Billiard, em.. how and where?
[11:04] <bigbrovar> Intel x3100 graphic card is so slow on karmic :(
[11:05] <onats> help, i upgraded my 9.04 to 9.10 but now i cant boot in. the boot sequence gets stuck when it starts to try mounting devices in /etc/fstab. it keeps on waiting for ALL the devices
[11:05] <Billiard> NerveClasp: how do you currently mount yout ntfs partition
[11:05] <c10ud8> onats, how did you upgrade it?
[11:05] <bigbrovar> ok not so slow but not as smooth as jaunty with greedy mode enabled
[11:06] <NerveClasp> I have gnome and it has a partitions applet, so I mount it in gui with oneclick
[11:06] <Kris07> Dr_Willis, I've tried converting the video but nothing seems to be happening
[11:06] <Billiard> NerveClasp: ok, do you wanted mounted on startup?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> Kris07:  that dosent really give us much to go on. :)
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> Kris07:  run winff from terminal look for error/log messages
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> Kris07:  and it can take a bit of time to convert videos
[11:07] <NerveClasp> Billiard: this too. I want partitions be mounted on startup and to be accessible to all users
[11:07] <Theexperts> I have old pc it is 16 bit pc.. i have installed Ubuntu 8.04... i have display problem can any one help :?

[11:08] <c10ud8> Theexperts, what display problem are you experiencing?
[11:09] <bazhang> bigbrovar, karmic?
[11:09] <bigbrovar> bazhang> yep
[11:09] <mojo__o> Theexperts, as far as i know nobody has ported linux back to a 8086 or 286
[11:09] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for karmic bigbrovar
[11:10] <Theexperts> c10ud8: i am getting login display.. after that i am not getting display......
[11:10] <bigbrovar> bazhang> oh ok hanks
[11:10] <c10ud8> is it a graphical login display or terminal
[11:11] <c10ud8> gnome probably will not be compatible with your hardware if it is a really old pc
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> i think he may of ment 32bit not 16...
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> i hope....
[11:11] <BlessJah> hi 4ll
[11:11] <onats> bazhang, thanks
[11:11] <BlessJah> how can i change menu button?
[11:12] <c10ud8> Theexperts, whats the specs of the PC?
[11:12] <bazhang> BlessJah, which menu? the gnome menu?
[11:12] <Theexperts> c10ud8: ok, can you tell me compatible OS for old PC
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> BlessJah:  you mean the gnome ubuntu logo for the menu?
[11:12] <c10ud8> hi bazhang :)
[11:12] <BlessJah> bazhang: yep
[11:12] <BlessJah> Dr_Willis: yep
[11:12] <bazhang> c10ud8, hi
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> BlessJah:  the tweak ubuntu program lets you do that easially enough
[11:13] <Theexperts> c10ud8: 40 G.B. HDD ram 256
[11:13] <BlessJah> Dr_Willis: can i without program?
[11:13] <c10ud8> Theexperts, linux should be fine, whats the specs
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> or was it called 'ubuntu-tweak' Its not official :) goitta get it from the ubuntu -tweak page
[11:13] <c10ud8> oh thats plenty
[11:13] <BlessJah> Dr_Willis: i dont want tweaks xD
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> BlessJah:  its just an icon some where on the system. so yes.. but figureing out what one.,. is the hard part
[11:13] <BlessJah> Dr_Willis: editing configs should be enough
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> BlessJah:  so go reserach it more i guess.. or use the tool and get it done in 3 min.
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> I dont worry too much about the icon :)
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> I just rember ubuntu-tweak having that and 100+ other neat tweaks it can do
[11:14] <Theexperts> c10ud8: processor 400 Mhz
[11:14] <Theexperts> c10ud8: 40 G.B. HDD ram 256
[11:14] <BlessJah> Dr_Willis: probably i have to replace images somwhere in /usr/share
[11:14] <kboi> hello. I've just bought a used Linksys NSLU2. I want to change it's os. I've seen that Ubuntu has an installer for it, but it's based on 9.04. Does anybody knows if there is a release for 9.10 planned?
[11:14] <BlessJah> Dr_Willis: or edit somwhere gnome configs

[11:17] <geurt> hi there
[11:17] <BlessJah> geurt: hi here xD
[11:17] <geurt> yesterday I was repairing an ext3 filesystem. it turned into read only
[11:17] <c10ud8> geurt, lol
[11:18] <geurt> i tested it with..touch this
[11:18] <geurt> than MC hammer came in...
[11:18] <geurt> Can't touch this
[11:18] <geurt> ...
[11:18] <c10ud8> haha
[11:18] <geurt> 30 minutes of fsck.ext3
[11:18] <geurt> 2 reboots
[11:18] <geurt> and my fs is up and running again
[11:19] <geurt> has one of you ever repaired a file system?
[11:19] <geurt> why is the reboot with secundairy check needed?
[11:20] <mojo__o> i always though fsck sounded nasty, not something that's going to repair a fs
[11:20] <geurt> well it did repair it
[11:21] <geurt> the cause was a degraded raid array
[11:22] <krazyken04> I'm trying to rebrand my wifi card, its a broadcom 4311 (DW1490) so I'm using ssb-sprom to do it. I think I need to get past more than just the sub vendor and sub device id's (I'd like to hit the Device and Vendor ID's) but can't seem to get it to work. Anyone have any experience with doing this?
[11:23] <xerox1> hi, is there a diff tool that is able to compare pdf files?
[11:23] <Billiard> xerox1: compare?
[11:24] <nic1> ldd: exited with unknown exit code (126), why do i get this error??
[11:26] <damjan_> Why I cant see my new network connection, when I left click on network manager icon
[11:26] <xerox1> Billiard, like a diff
[11:26] <bazhang> damjan_, does ifconfig show your devices
[11:27] <damjan_> yes it shows
[11:27] <bazhang> damjan_, are you trying to connect via ethernet or wirelessly
[11:28] <nikor> Will there be very much difference between the RC 9.10 and Final release due 10/29 ? ?
[11:28] <nic1> does anyone use skype here on ubuntu9.04??
[11:29] <bazhang> nic1, installed from medibuntu.org ?
[11:29] <bazhang> damjan_, please keep it in channel
[11:29] <damjan_> ok
[11:29] <damjan_> network manager is allways connecting to auto eth0,
[11:30] <bigcat> what is "line disciplines"?
[11:30] <bazhang> damjan_, and you wish to connect to wireless?
[11:31] <thiensen> hi
[11:31] <thiensen> its possible for me to use 2,2-2,7 channel on linux?
[11:31] <damjan_> nou, I can connect bouth with wireless and ethernet, But problem is to define two wireed connection, an switch between them
[11:31] <thiensen> i mean wireless channel using atheros based card
[11:32] <AmokPaule> Hello, how is the state of karmic atm? Is it stable?
[11:32] <damjan_> network manger cant see another configured connection, so I cant switch between them
[11:32] <Makavel> hi guys... is there anyway i can restore partion table?
[11:32] <Makavel> hi guys... is there anyway i can restore partition table?
[11:33] <bazhang> damjan_, you mean unplugging one ethernet connection and connecting another?
[11:34] <damjan_> yes , from dhcp connfigured to static address
[11:35] <laughzilla__> hi. anyone know an easy way to create a mobile application that will work on most phones, and for iphones and android?  :)

[11:38] <nic1> i have two versions of qt, i want to remove one, how can i remove?
[11:39] <lao5> i dont know
[11:39] <Pizarro2> Hi
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> proberly best to leave them both in....
[11:40] <Pizarro2> Installed 9.04 and found again that VPN PPT does not work well, installed everything as in 8.10 and nothing, any idea?
[11:42] <Makavel> help needed please. I mistakenly deleted my partition table. How can i restore it
[11:43] <nic1> i have two versions of qt, i want to remove one, how can i remove?
[11:43] <oobe> Makavel, if you didnt format them you should be able to easily recreate them using cfdisk
[11:44] <oobe> be sure to set it up exactly the same
[11:44] <Makavel> oobe... I did not format them
[11:44] <Makavel> oobe: exactly the same?
[11:44] <matteo1990> hi all anyone can help me really fast? I need to know how to make a single video with ffmpeg from 2, sorry for the wrong topic
[11:45] <oobe> i mean same space allocated in same order
[11:45] <oobe> since the data is already there
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> matteo1990:  i belive ive seen the proper command line for that in either the ffmpeg or mencoder faq's   depending on the video formats theres some options that need to be used
[11:45] <oobe> sudo cfdisk
[11:45] <psinetic> anyone got a list of really good networking tools/hacking tools/ethical security tools?
[11:45] <oobe> should show you unallocated space
[11:46] <oobe> Makavel, how can you accidentally delete your partition table
[11:46] <Billiard> matteo1990: mencoder vid1.avi vid2.avi -o vid.avi i think
[11:46] <_Space_Cace_> if i was to mount /var as its own partition what would be a good size for it? 30GB?
[11:46] <Billiard> matteo1990: i never got ffmpeg to do it well
[11:46] <nalcomis> All, this is probably a very simple question, but I downloaded some data from a Usenet group and it is saved as .001, .002, .003, .004, etc files.  How do I unzip these?  I am used to rar files where the first one is named .rar and the rest are named with numbers....  Thanks in advance.
[11:46] <Billiard> matteo1990: you might need to through in a -ovc copy -oac copy
[11:47] <ksnp> anyone familiar with truecrypt here ?
[11:47] <psinetic> why doesn't ubuntu come prepared and ready with media players that work for anything and ready to play any kind of media without configuration?
[11:47] <_Space_Cace_> i think u need unrar?
[11:47] <skiwithpete> hi, has anyone else installed from the RC?
[11:47] <nalcomis> hrmmm
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> nalcomis:  unrar x (or e) filename.rar
[11:47] <skiwithpete> am having problems with FF3.5.3
[11:47] <Makavel> oobe: i opened gparted, i am not too familiar with it. I wanted to create a partion on an unallocated space. I dont know what i was thinking and i went to a different menu and clicked on create partition table
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> nalcomis:  or try unrar -e whatever.00
[11:47] <nalcomis> Dr_Willis, let me give it a try
[11:47] <grawity> Dr_Willis: unrar e is a Bad Thing. (See also: tarbomb)
[11:47] <FiReSTaRT> psinetic: because most of that stuff is closed source and it goes against the open philosophy.. as long as you follow very simply instructions on the medibuntu page, you should be ready to play mp3's and dvd video in a couple of minutes
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> i consider Rar a bad thing,..,but i tend to use unp
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> !info unp
[11:48] <oobe> _Space_Cace_, i think you dont need a var partition but if you were to use one 30GB is too much maybe 10GB at most
[11:48] <oobe> _Space_Cace_, and even 10GB maybe be wasting disk
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> assuming it even is a rar archive
[11:48] <FiReSTaRT> ksnp: i've tried it out, but haven't really played with it.. what do you need?
[11:48] <Billiard> psinetic: some codecs have licences and stuff i believe, ubuntu wants everything on the disc totally free i think
[11:49] <nalcomis> Dr_Willis:  I just got this "1-3.7z.001 is not RAR archive
[11:49] <nalcomis> "
[11:49] <oobe> Makavel, and the / partition is gone too?
[11:49] <Rovanion> How do I detect which version of fglrx I'm running?
[11:49] <skiwithpete> This is the error I get:
[11:49] <nalcomis> how the hell do I find out what it was compressed as?
[11:49] <skiwithpete> Firefox could not install the file at
[11:49] <skiwithpete> https://addons.mozilla.org/downloads/file/58328/webmail_ad_blocker-2.6.1-fx.xpi?src=api
[11:49] <skiwithpete> because: Download error
[11:49] <skiwithpete> -228
[11:49] <FloodBot2> skiwithpete: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> nalcomis:  err  .7z is an archive format,..,,  :)
[11:49] <allel_azer> bonjour
[11:49] <psinetic> FiReSTaRT, i've been trying to get my media to work since i've been with ubuntu and i've ALWAYS got to tweak something. it's still not working. I still can't play dvd's simply by putting them in the computer and opening it, i still can't play one speicific media. one thing ubuntu sucks at, as far as i can see, is media. networking on the other hand, it's excillent at
[11:49] <allel_azer> g besoin d'aide
[11:49] <nalcomis> Dr_Willis, How do I unzip those?
[11:49] <Makavel> oobe: the whole stuffs is just one empty disk right now
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> nalcomis:  try the 7zip archive tools
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> !7zip
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> !archive
[11:50] <bazhang> allel_azer, #ubuntu-fr pour francais
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> nalcomis:  whuth the proper 7z tools or install them and use the archive manager gui
[11:50] <oobe> Makavel, how many partitions did yo have?
[11:51] <FiReSTaRT> psinetic: install your system, follow the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and you'll be able to play anything under the sun other than hi-def wmv media, but you can thank Brother Bill for that
[11:51] <oobe> i think you may need to seek special  data recovery info advice
[11:51] <nic1> dpkg-query: failed to open package info file `/usr/local/var/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory...in what all cases will i loose that file???
[11:51] <psinetic> Brother Bill? who is that?
[11:51] <oobe> it will be a hassle
[11:51] <nalcomis> Dr_Willis, what command do I type to install them?
[11:52] <Makavel> oobe: I had a partion for windows, a storage partition, linux partition, swap and two unallocated partitions
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> nalcomis:  fire up the package manager and look for 7zip  or check the urls the bot gave
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> !fubx 7z
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> !find  7z
[11:52] <FiReSTaRT> psinetic: bill gates.. the big brother.. by keeping certain formats closed, microsoft doesn't allow certain other platforms to play their content.. with that being said, i think i have standard-def wmv files that will play without any issues
[11:52] <oobe> Makavel, are you booting in on that machine using a live cd or somthing
[11:52] <_Space_Cace_> what would be a better option? if i were to reinstall the os and did not want to download all the updates again should i manually back up the updates or mount /var on a different partition?
[11:53] <FiReSTaRT> psinetic: but hi-def wmv plays with no sound
[11:53] <psinetic> FiReSTaRT, that's pretty gay >_>. I hate windows anyways.
[11:53] <Makavel> oobe: yeah
[11:53] <geirha> nalcomis, Dr_Willis: p7zip
[11:53] <bazhang> psinetic, please stay on topic and appropriate for this channel
[11:54] <FiReSTaRT> psinetic: btw, install vlc media player (sudo apt-get install vlc).. i've been using that one on both windoze boxes and linux boxes because it has killer support for media formats
