[18:24] <ikonia> Ethosser: the directory you want to create does not exist, so can't create the subdiretory, make the directory or do a mkdir -p
[18:24] <gfather> small question
[18:24] <gfather> i have the 3d desktop now
[18:24] <gfather> but lets say i have firefox open
[18:24] <git_> how big can a file be in Ubuntu?
[18:24] <Ethosser> I assumed the mount/remoteback was just a mount point not a directory as such
[18:24] <gfather> when i view the 3d box
[18:24] <ikonia> git_: many gigabyes
[18:24] <ikonia> Ethosser: a mount point is a directory or file
[18:24] <gfather> i see firefox on all the windows
[18:25] <Ethosser> ah ok
[18:25] <cuddlefish> depends on the filesystem
[18:25] <Ethosser> thanks
[18:25] <git_> i have a VM that's growing about 4GB per day
[18:25] <ActionParsnip1> git_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3
[18:25] <pop79> hey does ubuntu count into TB's?
[18:25] <git_> default ubuntu fs
[18:25] <fearful> gfather, right click the firefox on the panel and click "Only on this workspace"
[18:25] <ActionParsnip1> git_: Max file size, 16 GiB – 2 TiB
[18:25] <ikonia> git_: ext$ and resier and XFX support well over 32GB by default
[18:25] <gfather> and even when i change windows from the toolbar i see firefox on all of them
[18:25] <pop79> ok
 its already cheked
[18:25] <pop79> entrapture: you there now?
 ah ok thanks ;)
[18:26] <fearful> gfather, your welcome
[18:27] <erUSUL> git_: Max file size → 2TiB Max filesystem size → >8TiB

[18:28] <enraptur1> ok...
[18:28] <Ethosser> mkdir: missing operand
[18:29] <enraptur1> it's sudo apt-get camorama xawtv -- right?
[18:29] <ikonia> Ethosser: you need to use the path too as you did in the original

[18:44] <jo2> Hello everyone. I'm trying to get my wireless adapter to work with Ubuntu. I'm using Intrepid Ibex, 8.10. I've downloaded ngdiskt, or whatever it's called, and installed the drivers that came on the adapter's CD using it. It says, regarding the drivers I installed, "Hardware present: Yes". And while that is the case, i.e. the adapter is plugged in, the green light on the adapter isn't on, and I'm unable to detect any wireless networks.
[18:44] <ActionParsnip1> HSNews: just chill and keep it P in here or ops will start dishing punishment
[18:44] <n8tuserf> syzothermy-> can you post your interfaces file contents? also results of  ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf
[18:45] <hmw> gfather - my conf is not opted for eyecandy but for usability - clicking left or right edge of screen turns cube, pressing mouse-wheel-button rotates
[18:45] <n8tuserf> HSNews-> is you like follow same advise am telling syzothermy
[18:45] <syzothermy> sure, the interfaces file has just    auto lo    iface lo inet loopback
[18:45] <syzothermy> hang on, i'll just post this into pastebin

[19:04] <SimonS> i have the same problem with the 177 nvidia driver
[19:04] <f_newton> k
[19:04] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yep, thats what I am using 177 driver too
[19:04] <Led_Zeppelin> any fix?
[19:04] <SimonS> but i think it doesn't apear with the 180
[19:04] <f_newton> stop using nvidia?
[19:05] <pingdom> Hey guys, is there any good doc on customizing desktop switching? Ive seen some cool features online that id  like to do for example rolling
[19:05] <Led_Zeppelin> f_newton, wht about graphics?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip1> nvidia ftw :D
[19:05] <SimonS> i had the prob under fedora, and now again under ubuntu, so i installed the 180 from the package management, maybe it will work, otherwise install the driver from nvidia.com
[19:05] <SimonS> thats the fix ;)
[19:05] <Led_Zeppelin> so, is your system all ok now, SimonS ?
[19:06] <Izinucs> Led_Zeppelin: SimonS the 177 driver doesn't work well on some of nvidia cards.. little buggy and SLOW.. I'm using the 180.29 and it's a night and day difference for my 8200 card & chipset.
[19:06] <qos_> j #Ubuntu-fr
[19:06] <SimonS> i don't realy know, it was last time
[19:06] <Led_Zeppelin> how do I install nvidia180 thru apt-get? apt-get install nvidia-180-modaliases ?
[19:06] <Led_Zeppelin> Izinucs, I hope that fixes it :-)
[19:06] <bbelt16ag> can somebody point me in the right direction of  finding my old config files for kde..
[19:06] <f_newton> well even though the kernel dev team building linux kernels are unfairly biased towards nvidia ... nvidia makes very poor products and color schemes that are no where close to reality.... they fail to release adequate drivers and cause all kinds of problems... they also purchased voodoo corp which has the patent for 3D rendering and that is why no one else has as effective rendering for under 500 dollars
[19:07] <f_newton> the nvidia team is the most proprietary in the business.... they even put microsoft to shame
[19:07] <loller> hi , can u suggest me editor for javascript and ajax and want highlight of the function and auto finish
[19:07] <Izinucs> Led_Zeppelin: I came in late so I don't know what you're experiencing.. however if the repo's have the 180 it's probably the 180.11 which is much better then the 177.  try it and see if it fixes whatever you're experiencing.. if it doesn't then you might need to go to the 180.29
[19:07] <Led_Zeppelin> f_newton, they acked linux though. Thats all that matters
[19:08] <erUSUL> loller: aptana
[19:08] <erUSUL> !ot | f_newton
[19:08] <Led_Zeppelin> Izinucs, my mouse is freezing. Its a Ps/2 mouse. The pointer is moving but no clicks.
[19:08] <f_newton> acked linux?  what do you mean Led_Zeppelin?
[19:08] <SimonS> different question, same area...    does anybody know, how to make kde4 work with xinerama ?? (and displays with different resolutioN)
[19:08] <what_if> Mr-Woof: its working fine so far, using the 64 bit version. What did yours not do ?
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, using Nvidia? I can help .
[19:09] <The_Joe_> Is there a way to stop the cursor showing up in screenshots?
[19:09] <SimonS> yes using nvidia
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, nvidia-xconfig
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, enable xineerama
[19:09] <Mr-Woof> I installed in wine, but i couldn't get any channels to run. If i remember it gave me a video style error. I'll try it again now and post the error message
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, thagts how I am using it. It rocks. except this mouse thing :-(
[19:09] <SimonS> whait, i just have to enable it in the nvidia-sttings tooll..
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yes. and restart X
[19:09] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: use imagemagick and draw a selection, no cursor
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> brb. got to reboot.
[19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: there is a linux version and a deb package, why do a wine version ? t
[19:10] <Izinucs> Led_Zeppelin: might do it.. I had just terrible performance with the 177 driver.. my machine I built recently.. amd am2+ 4 gigs ram. etc. and it was much slower then an old 256 meg celeron single core
[19:10] <The_Joe_> ActionParsnip1, I'd rather do it quicker than that - but thanks anyway
[19:10] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yes, thats all you have to do..
[19:10] <Mr-Woof> ah that's probably the problem then :P
[19:10] <Mr-Woof> is it in the repos?
[19:10] <pop79> anyone have any graphics problems?
[19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: see http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/
[19:10] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: i allread tried, and then i just had one screen, the other just had no kwin etc. pp..
[19:10] <SimonS> arg he left
[19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: not in the repos, still very beta
[19:10] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: or move the pointer off the screen to the right ;)
[19:10] <The_Joe_> ActionParsnip1, I was zoomed in.
[19:11] <The_Joe_> Nevermind then.
[19:11] <olavimmanuel> hello. I need evice3dfx-module in intrepid.. dont seem to be available... what shall i do?
[19:11] <Mr-Woof> I'll have a look what_if, cheers for the information
[19:11] <ActionParsnip1> !find 3dfx
[19:12] <ActionParsnip1> olavimmanuel: install the source via that package and compile it
[19:12] <what_if> Mr-Woof: no problem, took me 2 minuts to install, no config, just worked. Now ia get free espn!
[19:12] <obi_> can anyone tell me how to better setup a dual monitor in intrepid? i can setup through screen resolution but the options are crummy. the only set up that functions remotely well is to mirror screens and the resolution options are poor. any suggestions?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip1> !info device3dfx-source
[19:12] <Mr-Woof> lol :
[19:12] <porter1> abi_, do you have a nvidia card?
[19:12] <olavimmanuel> link to package?
[19:12] <Mr-Woof> :)
[19:12] <porter1> obi_, do you have a nvidia card?
[19:13] <olavimmanuel> oh, ok
[19:13] <obi_> porter1 i really couldnt say, its a gateway laptop.
[19:13] <porter1> Oh
[19:13] <porter1> Hmm...
[19:13] <dexter> Hello. I use v8.10 with rdesktop <IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu. I have tried to connect to all win server version, but i have no sound. Anyone have the same prob? plz PM
[19:14] <porter1> obi, it probably won't get much better
[19:14] <bbelt16ag> found em yay
[19:14] <obi_> porter1: i would also like to avoid editing xcongfig if at all possible
[19:14] <Mr-Woof> I've got an ATI Radeon x300 card in this machine and i can't enable the visual effects, would you guys recommend getting the Linux drivers for the card straight from the ATI site?
[19:15] <obi_> porter1: thats a shame. is there any talk of that being fixed in upcoming releases of ubuntu
[19:15] <Stustoph> hey
[19:15] <porter1> obi_, Not sure. Is it just that the resolution options are bad?
[19:15] <shausam27> i have a problem with boot up the line cman  ccsi  4425 ccs  unable to connect to cluster   i hit the atl ctrl delete and it boots but all 3D  and muitiable  desktops are gone  what do i to repair this this happen when i up dated some flies
[19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: back
[19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> so, whats up?
[19:16] <Mr-Woof> wb
[19:16] <SimonS> led_zeppelin: i allready tried like that, it worked with gnome, kde just ignores the second screen for plasmoids and wallpaper ....
[19:16] <night_> hey, does some1 know winetricks?
[19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> hmm. what is your default DM? gdm or kdm ?
[19:16] <porter1> night_, are you trying to install extras?
[19:16] <SimonS> so the second screen is empty, gra  background an no plasmoids etc.
[19:16] <imachine> night_, what's there to know.
[19:16] <SimonS> gdm at the moment
[19:16] <imachine> you just alunch it.
[19:16] <imachine> it works.
[19:16] <imachine> ;]
[19:16] <ActionParsnip1> shausam27: do you mean multiple desktops in compiz or actual desktops in standard gnome?
[19:16] <Stustoph> I can't load into ubuntu 8.10 anymore, every time I try I end up stalling at a screen that reads Alert! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist
[19:17] <FloodBot2> imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:17] <Stustoph> any ideas
[19:17] <obi_> porter1: well yes and no, i would be fairly content with the ability to have better resolution, but i would also ideally like to have the second monitor setup with better res and have it function just like multiple destops do, with all my icons and menu bars.
[19:17] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: right. Use gdm as your default display manager. Then try to use kde
[19:17] <night_> imachine, i have installed wine and wanna know if winetricks is good 4 it
[19:17] <Tucker1979> Enter text here...Hello
[19:17] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | Stustoph
[19:17] <blackjak> guys what should I type as a source in kismet configuration file?
[19:17] <Tucker1979> i need some help with Ubuntu 8.10
[19:17] <maxhax> i installed utorrent with wine but now i dont know how to use it
[19:18] <night_> use gtorrent
[19:18] <Stustoph> ubottu any way I can access my usual ubuntu files I have on there with this live cd???
[19:18] <porter1> maxhax, get deluge
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> !torrents | maxhax
[19:18] <Imran> hey all
[19:18] <maxhax> whtas that
[19:18] <Mr-Woof> Should i install the ATI drivers for my card straight from the ATI site?
[19:18] <Stustoph> I mean some files I downloaded
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> !torrent | maxhax
[19:18] <Tucker1979> when i boot up my pc, it dual boot, i can a mess of a screen and can not move on less i turn it off
[19:18] <Imran> I have a small issue with a sh file
[19:18] <shausam27> yes but i can boot in to gnome
[19:18] <maxhax> si i cant use utorrent?
[19:18] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: does the nvidia 180 work?
[19:18] <blackjak> guys what should I type as a source in kismet configuration file?
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> maxhax: there are lots of torrent clients that are native to linux, theres no need to run a windows client
[19:19] <Stustoph> ubottu
[19:19] <Imran> it doesn't seem to throw the expected output
[19:19] <porter1> obi_, if it doesn't run a very good res thru the second monitor, it's probabl a limitation of the onboard graphics
[19:19] <Imran> which is to create two zip files
[19:19] <maxhax> ok then wich one do you think is th best?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip1> !ubottu
[19:19] <Mr-Woof> quit
[19:19] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: so far yes. I guess I have to wait for the mouse to become unresponsive. Unless you a way to test this bug out
[19:19] <Stustoph> oh your a bot damn!!
[19:19] <Tucker1979> how do you boot to gnome from start up, i need to sort out the display
[19:19] <ActionParsnip1> maxhax: i use ktorrent but there is no best. try a few
[19:19] <obi_> porter1: oh i see, even though i can run the higher resolution on the main monitor?
[19:19] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: if it freezes again, install the driver from nvidia.com, it worked for me..
[19:19] <porter1> obi_ yeah
[19:19] <ActionParsnip1> Stustoph: yes, he sasys stuff that we get asked loads to save us typing
[19:19] <maxhax> ok thanks
[19:20] <fearful> ActionParsnip1, Transmission works fine
[19:20] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: ok. So far so good though.
[19:20] <Stustoph> oh right not so good when I have a hard time explaining
[19:20] <Imran> Usage /home/imran/create_package.sh {clear_packages|clear_main|clear|create_main|create_packages|create}
[19:20] <Imran> this is what I get
[19:20] <obi_> porter1: is there anyway to check that for sure, how do i figure out the card i have
[19:20] <roadrock> Tucker1979: provided gnome is installed, use 'options' at the login screen.
[19:20] <SimonS> kdm does some strange thing on my second display..
[19:20] <ActionParsnip1> fearful: i use ktorrent for its web interface :)
[19:20] <maxhax> does anyone know of a good program that syncs with an ipod sound / video
[19:20] <porter1> obi_ check the gateway website for you model
[19:20] <blackjak> : Unknown capture source type 'madwifi-ng' in source 'madwifi-ng,wifi0,DWL-G650'
[19:20] <Tucker1979> i can not see the login screen, it a mess of colour, i can not see anything
[19:20] <roadrock> obi_: in a terminal type 'lspci'
[19:21] <Stustoph> action you got any ideas if I can access some files I download on usual ubuntu 8.10 desktop with the live cd because usual ubuntu is failing to load???
[19:21] <Tucker1979> i need to configure the display but i try safe mode and it does not work
[19:21] <fearful> ActionParsnip1, I guess, I don't really use that just to download :p
[19:21] <ichbinesderelch> Stustoph: you just have to mount the hdd in the livecd
[19:21] <tobywuk> stunatra, if the files are on your hard drive you can, need to mount
[19:21] <Stustoph> how do I do that
[19:21] <tobywuk> ^^
[19:21] <ActionParsnip1> Stustoph: sure, just mount the partitions in the live environment
[19:21] <Imran> am I invisible to you guys?
[19:21] <Stustoph> it is appearing & can access
[19:21] <Stustoph> the hdd
[19:22] <ActionParsnip1> Imran: wassup dude?
[19:22] <Carstairs1> i see you imran
[19:22] <Stustoph> but can't find files when I click through ubuntu folder
[19:22] <roadrock> Tucker1979: try booting to safe mode from your grub boot menu and try re-installing gnome-desktop
[19:22] <Imran> thanks for responding actionparsnip1
[19:22] <Imran> I can't run a sh file
[19:22] <Imran> I run it and it seems to execute
[19:22] <ichbinesderelch> Imran: chmod +x file
[19:22] <Stustoph> any ideas
[19:22] <Imran> but doesn't throw out the two zip files it is supposed to create
[19:22] <Tucker1979> the problem is that if i book from Safemode, i can the dos style screen
[19:22] <ActionParsnip1> Imran: chmod +x <file>; ./<file>
[19:22] <Imran> Usage /home/imran/create_package.sh {clear_packages|clear_main|clear|create_main|create_packages|create}
[19:22] <Imran> tried that
[19:23] <Imran> tried all that I could find at Ubuntu forums
[19:23] <obi_> roadrock: xpress intergrated graphics controller?

[19:31] <Will_M> adaptr: I understand that
[19:31] <ikonia> Will_M: do you get the same behaviour if you use shift instead of caps lock
[19:32] <Atlantes_> i use ubuntu 8.10 x64, i changed sources.list so i had medibuntu. Then i installed skype. In Sound devices in skype i set sound in and sound out to pulse. in Ubuntu i set all the microphone sliders to 100%.  Maybe someone can help me
[19:32] <Will_M> adaptr: but when I type it makes the next letter Capitol even though it I already undid CAPS lock
[19:32] <dayo2> netsplit?
[19:32] <dayo2> looks like
[19:32] <_VIM_> maxhax: has anyone answered your ipod question yet? If not I found this might help..http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes#ipod.
[19:32] <ikonia> dayo2: nope
[19:32] <Will_M> No, not when I use SHIFY
[19:32] <Will_M> *shift
[19:32] <shadeslayer> guys and gals any idea??
[19:32] <adaptr> Will_M: you typed too fast
[19:32] <roadrock> shadeslayer: ah, well that calls for apt-get a 12 pack of beer and wait. sorry i never used a livecd, try the ubuntu doc sites or keep asking. if your sources file uses the cdrom then yeah it oughta work.
[19:32] <ikonia> Will_M: so the shift key behaves normal, but caps lock doesn't
[19:33] <Tucker19798> can anyone help or point me in the right direction
[19:33] <maxhax> _VIM_ thanks
[19:33] <Will_M> Well, ok, I usually just use CAPS though. Ha. JUst wanted to see if anyone knew what the problem was.
[19:33] <shadeslayer> hehe,well ill rather download then
[19:33] <Will_M> Thanks anyway
[19:33] <_VIM_> maxhax: np
[19:33] <shadeslayer> Thanks anyways
[19:33] <ikonia> Will_M: worth logging a bug for
[19:33] <Will_M> Ya I will definitely do that
[19:33] <mr> hi all
[19:33] <Will_M> ikonia: do you have the link to submit bugs?
[19:33] <ikonia> !launchpad > Will_M
[19:34] <Will_M> Never had to do that before
[19:34] <Will_M> Ok
[19:34] <ActionParsnip1> !bugs
[19:34] <Gaeel> Anyone know how to force a 1024*768 resolution? The "screen resolution" tool in the preferences isn't giving me that option
[19:35] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: have you installed video drivers?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: you can set it in xorg.conf
[19:35] <Tucker19798> what do i type on the dos style screen to sort out my graphics problem
[19:35] <Gaeel> ActionParsnip1: it was working at 1024*768 about an hour ago, and then it stopped working when I changed the resolution for a game...
[19:35] <xie041_> could not play rm and rmvb
[19:35] <xie041_> ?
[19:36] <xie041_> just voice,no graphic
[19:36] <Guest18649> did anybody use lampp?
[19:36] <Gaeel> What folder is xorg.conf in?
[19:36] <dayo2> Guest18649: yes
[19:36] <Izinucs> /etc/X11/xorg.conf Gaeel
[19:36] <Lasivian> I'm running Gnome and I can;t figure out how to list wireless networks by strength
[19:36] <nightrid3r> Gaeel /etc/x11
[19:36] <dries> Tucker19798: hehehe, funny question. Did you try right-clicking the desktop and selecting "change desktop background"
[19:36] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:36] <Guest18649> how do i get the rights for using it?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: if a game screws your res, restart the x server
[19:37] <zash> Guest18649: llp ftw
[19:37] <pop79> FedeUBS: good, thats the way to ask :)
[19:37] <dayo2> Lasivian: have u tried clicking on the networking icon?
[19:37] <Guest18649> yes
[19:37] <Izinucs> Weird problem.. I ripped a dvd and it plays in mplayer fine.. it will not show the video in vlc or totem but does have sound.. any idea why?
[19:38] <jim_p> !nfs
[19:38] <Guest18649> the lampp folder lies in /opt/lampp
[19:38] <Gaeel> ActionParsnip1: how do I restart the x server?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: ctrl+alt+backspace
[19:38] <Gaeel> And if I've rebooted my computer already isn't that already done?
[19:38] <Izinucs> Gaeel: or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[19:38] <_VIM_> Guest18649: that sounds more like an Xampp setup than Lamp
[19:38] <Guest18649> and i can't open the htdocs folder
[19:39] <_VIM_> why not just use Lamp? xampp sucks
[19:39] <_VIM_> !Lamp
[19:39] <ActionParsnip1> _VIM_: some users like an x server
[19:39] <Condoulo> ok, I have a question. I have Compiz Fusion enabled, and I am having a bit of an issue where video playback in totem player (or any media player for that matter) is sorta flashy. Is there any way to fix this?
[19:40] <Guest18649> i use lampp but i can't work with it
[19:40] <Guest18649> :S
[19:40] <ikonia> Guest18649: why ?
[19:40] <Izinucs> Condoulo: I fixed that with a better video driver for my nvidia
[19:40] <Condoulo> Izinucs, eh. I use ATI.
[19:40] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:40] <Izinucs> Condoulo: sorry don't know much about the ATI's..
[19:40] <ActionParsnip1> FedeUBS: try adding more info about your monitor in xorg.conf
[19:41] <Guest18649> because i haven't got the rights for editing or something
[19:41] <Condoulo> anybody here experienced with ATI?
[19:41] <Cpudan80> Is there a command line way to add deb source lines to /apt/sources.list ?
[19:41] <carlos> hello can someone help me installing screensavers please?
[19:41] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, it happened again!!!!
[19:41] <dries> Guest 18649: use the sudo command?
[19:41] <ActionParsnip1> Guest18649: make sure you use sudo /gksudo when accessing
[19:41] <ikonia> Cpudan80: echo $line > /etc/apt-/sources.list
[19:41] <Guest18649> yes
[19:41] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: nvidia.com
[19:41] <ikonia> Cpudan80: or open it with a text editor
[19:41] <Cpudan80> ikonia: shouldnt it be >>
[19:41] <Izinucs> FedeUBS: also check xorg for what driver is listed there.. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  on the driver line it should show nvidia not vesa or nv or anything else
[19:41] <ikonia> Cpudan80: all lwell done >>
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: well caught
[19:42] <Cpudan80> ikonia: hehe
[19:42] <Cpudan80> Im not a newb!
[19:42] <Cpudan80> :-P
[19:42] <dayo2> carlos: sudo aptitude install gnome-screensaver
[19:42] <Cpudan80> Do you really need the src lines?
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: that could have been bad - well spotted
[19:42] <Lasivian> dayo2: that pops up a list of located wireless networks, but does not seem to have sorting options
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: if your not building source packges, remove them
[19:42] <ActionParsnip1> Cpudan80: they are used with apt-build :)
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: that's all they are there for apt-get source $package
[19:42] <FedeUBS> it says nvidia
[19:42] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, how do I figure out my graphics product type and series?
[19:42] <dayo2> Lasivian: yeah
[19:42] <Guest40107> dayo 2 donesnt matter if i have kde 4.1?
[19:43] <SimonS> i think nvidia-settings tells you
[19:43] <ActionParsnip1> Led_Zeppelin: lspci | grep -i vga
[19:43] <dayo2> Guest40107: ?
[19:43] <Guest40107> dayo2 im carlos, they change my nickname
[19:43] <Guest40107> i have kubuntu
[19:44] <FedeUBS> I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0"
[19:44] <FedeUBS> if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[19:44] <Cpudan80> ikonia: ok so how about importing the key file
[19:44] <Cpudan80> ikonia: like the little screencast for the PPA says to save it to a file then import it... blah
[19:44] <dayo2> Guest40107: oh. well i don't know what screensaver kde uses. maybe try: sudo aptitude install xscreensaver
[19:44] <badpc> anyone use clamav?
[19:45] <dries> badpc: why do you use it?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip1> FedeUBS: have you install nvidia drivers
[19:45] <FedeUBS> yes
[19:45] <dries> no need to in Ubuntu.. (unless you want to be nice to windows users :P-
[19:45] <FedeUBS> version 177
[19:45] <badpc> dries: no was just wondering if i need to?
[19:45] <Led_Zeppelin> ActionParsnip1, thanks
[19:45] <masiddiqui> hello
[19:45] <Led_Zeppelin> it seems I have to goto CLI mode. I am not sure how to get into CLI mode SimonS
[19:45] <dries> nop, you don't
[19:45] <shadeslayer> hi
[19:45] <masiddiqui> i need some help here
[19:45] <dries> no virusses
[19:45] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: init 3
[19:46] <dries> just make shure no one lurs you into formatting your partition :D
[19:46] <Wez> hey folks, can someone point me at docs on automated (like kickstart) installs for ubuntu 8.10 server?  I've found docs for an older version and I'm having trouble making that work with 8.10
[19:46] <Led_Zeppelin> hmm. just run that?
[19:46] <Led_Zeppelin> init 3 ?
[19:46] <Guest40107> ok thanks i have this question because im really new and i dont know whats happens if i combine kde with gnome
[19:46] <_VIM_> !Virus
[19:46] <_VIM_> | badpc*
[19:46] <mr_green> how can i get the right for the folder /opt ??
[19:46] <_VIM_> forgot the pipe command sorry
[19:46] <dries> guest40107: you use one of the two
[19:46] <ActionParsnip1> Guest40107: you get a load of stuff on your system and you can run both kde apps and gnome apps
[19:46] <dries> but the apps should run on both
[19:47] <rewt> doesn't that cause a rift in the space-time continuum?
[19:47] <dries> hahaha
[19:47] <dries> rewt: last time I tried it did ..
[19:47] <f_newton> kde apps run ok in gnome but gnome apps dont run so well in kde
[19:47] <rewt> lol
[19:47] <ActionParsnip1> Guest40107: one will be the running DE but the other apps can be used
[19:47] <dayo2> j
[19:48] <mr_green> how can i get the rights for the folder /opt ??
[19:48] <FedeUBS> if I tried to change the resolution it says 1280x1024(5:4), and not 1280x1024(4:3)
[19:48] <badpc> dries: so theres no need for defrag or malware on linux?
[19:48] <dries> mr_green: sudo su?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip1> mr_green: ls -l /opt
[19:48] <dries> nop, both aren't nescesarry
[19:48] <mr_green> doesn't works :S
[19:48] <mohmed> 064506270641064a0634 063906310628
[19:48] <ActionParsnip1> dries: sudo su is not advised, it doesnt setup the environment. sudo -i is advised
[19:48] <mohmed> 062706440648064806480648064806480648064806480648064806480648064806480648
[19:48] <dries> okay, will remember
[19:48] <mohmed> 062d06280627064a062806460627
[19:49] <f_newton> lol no need for defrag but its a good idea to get rkhunter on a separate disk to run independently of your hard drive and use chkrootkit occasionally to check for things
[19:49] <badpc> dries: how about disk cleanup?
[19:49] <f_newton> sorry to butt in
[19:49] <Guest40107> other thing, when i put an icon in my desktop put in the top left side, do i have an option like in windows to have all icons in a row?
[19:49] <dries> don't even know if we have that in Ubuntu.. I don't need it anyway
[19:50] <blackjak> is there anyone who can help me configuring kismet?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip1> badpc: temp is emptied on reboot, sudo apt-get clean will remove old debs
[19:50] <f_newton> cleanup is in ubuntu
[19:50] <blackjak> is there anyone who could help me configuring kismet?
[19:50] <FedeUBS> ?
[19:50] <dries> guest: right mouse on desktop / check "keep aligned"
[19:50] <wirelessdreamer> anyone know of a way to blacklist devices from using hid, without patching the kernel module before compile?
[19:50] <rdw200169> badpc, generally, for cleanup, all you have to do is clean out a very small amount of directories
[19:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> Hey guys, I have a little problem that maybe someone can help me with. I have a 1gig USB flash drive. I used the Live CD of Ubuntu 8.10 to create a Bootable USB Stick. Well it completed successfully and when I boot into it the first time, it works like a charm. Now after I do some changes, like say change the wallpaper or download something, I boot into it a second time to see if it works and all I keep getting is the B
[19:51] <rewt> ma5t3rw1tt, you were cut off at "... and all I keep getting is the B"
[19:51] <shadeslayer> is the??
[19:51] <rdw200169> badpc, your trash, in ~/.local/Trash (or something like that, they moved it), then the stuff in /var like log files and stuff, but 99% of that isn't an issue, and then there's /tmp which gets cleaned out every time you restart
[19:51] <dries> ma5t3rw1tt: it's supposed to be a live-cd.
[19:51] <maxhax> hi. whats the problem when i put su in to terminal and put my password it says Authentication failure
[19:52] <f_newton> lol
[19:52] <mikedraven28> pls help problem with my ati x1200 card in ubuntu 8.10 ... all works fine except full screen games it gives scrambled image
[19:52] <dries> you should install a complete version of ubuntu on it to keep your changes, or make them recursive (dunno exactly how to do that)
[19:52] <ActionParsnip1> ma5t3rw1tt: make sure you are the owner of your home folder and its chmodded 755 throughout
[19:52] <f_newton> sudo in ubuntu
[19:52] <dolo> hey i get a wierd error when i logg in now
[19:52] <f_newton> sudo -i for root path
[19:52] <rdw200169> badpc, and for the packages thing mentioned, apt is configured by default to swamp out the big downloaded packages regularly
[19:52] <Thanatoast> After giving up on Network Manager for a static IP, I uninstalled it and installed wicd, now I have no network: "current network not found" Any suggestions on how to get my network back and hopefully set a static IP?
[19:52] <dolo> it says home /.dmrc is being ignored
[19:52] <mikedraven28> i've got stuck twice in alien arena
[19:52] <maxhax> hi. whats the problem when i put su in to terminal and put my password it says Authentication failure
[19:52] <shadeslayer> !ati | f_newton
[19:52] <cirno__> wrong password?
[19:52] <jrib> !root | maxhax
[19:53] <badpc> linux rules!
[19:53] <ma5t3rw1tt> @dries: Well I watched a video on Revision3.com called Systm and they even had a video showing you to do it.
[19:53] <shadeslayer> yeah we know
[19:53] <dolo> anyone know what that could be?
[19:53] <dolo> should i delee the .dmrc file?
[19:53] <maxhax> isnt root password my normal log in password
[19:53] <jrib> maxhax: no
[19:53] <rdw200169> badpc, most of your wasted space ends up in /usr/share and that's due to installed packages that you don't need...
[19:53] <dolo> maxhax: no your just a user
[19:54] <rdw200169> badpc, and that's always kinda
[19:54] <maxhax> so instead what should i do
[19:54] <rdw200169> badpc, 'user dependent'
[19:54] <maxhax> i want to extract an file
[19:54] <f_newton> maxhax ubuntu uses sudo for most things and if you need root path without /sbin/ you need to use sudo -i
[19:54] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:54] <FedeUBS> in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[19:54] <FedeUBS> if I tried to change the resolution it says 1280x1024(5:4), and not 1280x1024(4:3)
[19:54] <jrib> maxhax: double click on it
[19:54] <maxhax> on what
[19:54] <dries> ma5t3rw1tt: did you try a google search on that? should be a lot of walktrougs out there (dunno how to myself thats wy I say google it)
[19:54] <jrib> maxhax: on the file you want to extract?
[19:54] <iD_J> !help when i report bugs on launchpad with apport, it says my packages are outdated when i have more recent ones than it states
[19:55] <badpc> rdw200169: you know anything about the ext4 filesystem?
[19:55] <dolo> maxhax: root is not given to help with security so even if someone did hypotheticly figure out your password they could not have root access to do anything melicuous to your system on a side note with root privlages new users have an easyer time breaking things
[19:55] <f_newton> ext4 is not ready for prime time
[19:55] <ifroog> !find klauncher
[19:55] <cooldduuudde> is der an ext4 also?
[19:55] <rdw200169> badpc, note, though, that if you want to know whats wasting your space, that you can use the Disk Usage analyzer, Applications -> accessories
[19:55] <ifroog> !locate klauncher
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc:  that's an option in the next one
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc: next Ubuntu
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc: in April
[19:55] <maxhax> so whats the point with a root password if you dont know it ? =P
[19:55] <rdw200169> badpc, i read a little about it, but i have not tried it... i'm pretty happy w/ext3
[19:55] <ifroog> !find klauncher
[19:55] <ifroog> huh ? :S
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc: it will be faster than Ext3
[19:55] <ActionParsnip1> maxhax: there isnt one
[19:56] <f_newton> lol maxhax
[19:56] <dries> ifroog: jup, and it runs fine for me.. (but not yet mainstream: more testing is advised)
[19:56] <dolo> maxhax: use sudo its basicly the same thing
[19:56] <ActionParsnip1> !root | maxhax
[19:56] <maxhax> ok next problem
[19:56] <FedeUBS>  I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:56] <FedeUBS> in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[19:56] <FedeUBS> if I tried to change the resolution it says 1280x1024(5:4), and not 1280x1024(4:3)
[19:56] <maxhax> i typed sudo - 1
[19:56] <Ethosser> can I rename my hostname by simple editing etc/hostname ?
[19:56] <ifroog> dries, THing is i get a klauncher error when i run amarok.
[19:56] <maxhax> -i
[19:56] <Ethosser> or will it kill my install? :D
[19:56] <badpc> sebastien_: yeah thats what i heard!
[19:56] <dolo> apt -get a life
[19:56] <maxhax> and put  my password then i putted tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt
[19:56] <maxhax> to extract the xampp file
[19:56] <ifroog> so, i was wondering if i have to install that applications, but then again. why is amarok using klauncher which is in a xfce wm.
[19:56] <stroyan> dolo: Your error message is discussed at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7296 .  Perhaps you to have a file permissions problem.
[19:56] <dries> ifroog: what dous it say?
[19:57] <rdw200169> badpc, i'm one of those ubuntu users that likes to stay 6 months behind so i can stay nice and stable...
[19:57] <dries> does***
[19:57] <maxhax> and it said: tar: xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[19:57] <maxhax> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

[19:57] <rewt> FedeUBS, 1280x1024 is 5:4
[19:57] <f_newton> wise decision rdw200169
[19:57] <rdw200169> badpc, so 6 months after you have ext4, i *might* actually take a shot at it (after all the problems are works out)
[19:57] <jrib> maxhax: why don't you install lamp through the repositories?
[19:57] <dries> hmm, dunno if it runs fine in a xfce..
[19:57] <maxhax> ok how?
[19:57] <jrib> !lamp | maxhax
[19:57] <badpc> rdw200169: i like to try all the new stuff unstable
[19:57] <f_newton> ext4 not recommended at this time.... check back later please
[19:57] <woodyb> I can't login at all.  I keep getting thrown back to the brown login screen. I am using 8.10 for awhile now. any help please?
[19:57] <rdw200169> f_newton, that, and i absolutely hate setting up a new version with my 1,000,000+ customizations
[19:57] <ifroog> dries, It says "cannot talk to klauncher"
[19:58] <cooldduuudde> badpc rdw200169 would it be possible to make est3 into ext4 without formatting?
[19:58] <FedeUBS> ah ok
[19:58] <f_newton> lol build your own install rdw200169
[19:58] <rewt> FedeUBS, what's the lcd's native resolution?
[19:58] <FedeUBS> 1280x1024
[19:58] <rdw200169> badpc, now, don't get me wrong, i do that too, but its on a case by case situation, for example, i use many applications that are cutting edge from the PPA's
[19:58] <maxhax> ok...
[19:58] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, i sincerely doubt it
[19:58] <maxhax> il read the website.
[19:58] <f_newton> good choice maxhax
[19:59] <rdw200169> f_newton, now lets not get crazy here... i'm not into 'linux from scratch' stuff *heheh*
[19:59] <badpc> Cool_Nick: i believe there is a way to do so though im not sure how yet
[19:59] <rdw200169> f_newton, what i do is more like "a little bit of enhances regularly over a long period of time"
[19:59] <f_newton> rdw200169: you can build a quickstart or something that will automagically pull down your desired apps w/ubuntu ...
[19:59] <Besogon> Where can I find icon files in Linux? (I need name icon for edit menu)
[19:59] <dries> ifroog: if you use xkfc I don't think you can use Klauncher..
[19:59] <f_newton> that depends on the distro used Besogon in ubuntu Im not sure
[20:00] <rdw200169> f_newton, oh, i know, stuff like dpkg --get-selections, etc...
[20:00] <Ursinha> ifroog, klauncher is a kde stuff thing
[20:00] <Don> RaceFan
[20:00] <stroyan> dolo: You should check the ownership and permissions of ~ and ~/.dmrc.  "ls -ld ~ ~/.dmrc"    They should be owned by your account name.  .dmrc should have -rw------- permissions.
[20:00] <Ursinha> ifroog, if you run a kde app, it will use it
[20:00] <f_newton> well Im a redhat oldtimer rdw200169 and not too familiar with ubuntu except for very early deb
[20:00] <maxhax> I putted sudo tasksel install lamp-server in treminal and it opened some blue thing
[20:00] <maxhax> what is happening
[20:00] <rdw200169> f_newton, but that doesn't make me hate it any less!  problems *always* come up... that, and you *never know* if your /home will upgrade well...
[20:00] <xie041_> ....
[20:00] <ifroog> dries, ah, ok
[20:00] <maxhax> im total noob i know
[20:00] <FedeUBS> rewt: when I put that resolution, a black screen appears,
[20:00] <dolo> it does i followed the tutorial and ima logg out and logg back in
[20:00] <ubuntu810> hi guys
[20:01] <Ursinha> ifroog, when you installed amarok it certainly installed a lot of kde-* dependencies
[20:01] <ifroog> dries, Never mind that, do you know how i can change kde theme from gnome?
[20:01] <f_newton> build your /home on a separate partition rdw200169 and custom partition on new installs
[20:01] <Ethosser> what's the best way to rename a ubuntu server? I head it can mess alot of things up ;o
[20:01] <Besogon> f_newton, Im use ubuntu (with installed xfce) Do you know it? Where can I get names of icons?
[20:01] <dries> ifroog: you have to install the KDE packages
[20:01] <stealth_tty1> while trying to change my drivers to get better fps in wow under wine, I seriously messed up my system. After running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it wouldnt start up my X server :| It complained about not being able to find a usable screen. Ive found that happens when I turn on the kernel frame buffering device, if I turn it off, I get graphics, but no opengl. Wich makes wow pointless :| any help PLEASE?
[20:01] <rdw200169> f_newton, that's what i do.  i just wonder many times, if a new version of know will trash my gconf settings (for example...)
[20:02] <Lasivian> is there any way to sort the list of wireless networks in Gnome?
[20:02] <ifroog> dries, yes, i have kde installed too.
[20:02] <f_newton> heh I am not in the xfce corral at all Besogon sorry I cant help
[20:02] <rdw200169> f_newton, *gnome not know
[20:02] <stroyan> Besogon: There are a lot of icons under /usr/share/icons/*
[20:02] <ifroog> dries, But i cannot run kcontrol.
[20:02] <ifroog> to configure the theme.
[20:02] <dries> k, then logg off and choose KDE environment for this session
[20:02] <ifroog> bash: kcontrol: command not found
[20:02] <dries> yes, but you don't have to run klauncher to log off no?
[20:02] <rdw200169> f_newton, it should be *strongly suggested* by the installer to set up a separate /home for that specific reason, but i understand why it isn't
[20:03] <f_newton> rdw200169: thats anyone's guess.... but the good news is as linux matures it becomes more reliable during upgrades etc which I always recommend clean install
[20:03] <cambazz> hello. how do I tell if one package is installed or not
[20:03] <f_newton> rpm -q (package)
[20:03] <Thanatoast> After giving up on Network Manager for a static IP, I uninstalled it and installed wicd, now I have no network: "current network not found" Any suggestions on how to get my network back and hopefully set a static IP?
[20:03] <cooldduuudde> cambazz using synaptic
[20:03] <ifroog> dries, never mind, the klauncher issue, i fixed it by running kdeinit
[20:03] <Reformer81> I'm trying to unmount a partition, but I get an "in use" error.  How do I find out what process is using that partition?  I have no open files and/or file browsers pointing to that location.
[20:03] <rdw200169> f_newton, I, also, always do a clean install.  i find that dist-upgrades never quite turn out the way i want them to
[20:03] <D99> Is there anyway I can install the Java 6 update 12. The PM only has Java 6 update 10
[20:03] <dries> ifroog: glad it works now
[20:04] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: lsof | grep /dev/<partition name>
[20:04] <f_newton> rdw200169: that is true for every distro linux or not
[20:04] <Besogon> stroyan, I know it. but there only system icons (for themes I mean)...
[20:04] <ifroog> dries, Yeah :) but i dont like the white kde theme on my black gnome theme.
[20:04] <cooldduuudde> how can i get shockwave in ubuntu?
[20:04] <ifroog> its a contrast and it looks ugly. i wish i could change that.
[20:04] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: That does nothing.
[20:04] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, i don't think its possible, yet.  we do have flash 10 player, but not that (i think)
[20:04] <dyhex> hi
[20:04] <ubuntu810> i have a Q about ubuntu 8.10 32-bit how do i stop it from keeping in list of every video and picture i look at using movie player and f-spot ?
[20:04] <Myrtti> f_newton: since when have you been able to use rpm -q (package) in UBUNTU?!
[20:04] <dyhex> there
[20:04] <ActionParsnip1> cooldduuudde: you will need to run a browser via wine, shockwave is windows only
[20:04] <dyhex> i try to install
[20:04] <dyhex> openvpn
[20:05] <FloodBot2> dyhex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:05] <dyhex> wzell
[20:05] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, yeah, i was gonna say that, you *can* get IE in wine, and use shockwave that way
[20:05] <f_newton> bleah
[20:05] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: you need to change the command to name the partition you are wanting to unmount
[20:05] <stroyan> Besogon: What icon do you seek?  What do you mean by "name icon for edit menu" ?
[20:05] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[20:05] <FedeUBS> in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[20:05] <cooldduuudde> ActionParsnip1 rdw200169 i tried it wid firefox windows and shockwave but it crashes often in wine
[20:05] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: I did.   When I hit enter, it just goes to the next line and sits there.
[20:05] <dyhex> i try to install openvpn i got a problem on the configuration
[20:05] <dyhex> file
[20:06] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, you could also, if you have a fast computer, use VirtualBox w/ WIndows, and do it that way
[20:06] <dyhex> can anyone help plz
[20:06] <dries> ifroog: I prefer gnome, so I didn't test KDE very touroughly. But can't you change the collor in the settings?
[20:06] <f_newton> sounds like wine to me cool
[20:06] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: Ah... it's just slow :P
[20:06] <Reformer81> Sorry
[20:06] <f_newton> lol I meant cooldduuudde
[20:06] <dyhex> i got this erro r
[20:06] <rdw200169> dyhex, it would be best to try #openvpn
[20:06] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169 can i get virtualbox thru synaptic?
[20:07] <ifroog> dries, im talking about apps like konqueror, amarok that i love. Im on gnome though. But i like to make those kde apps darker to match my gnome theme.
[20:07] <dyhex> i got this error
[20:07] <dyhex> http://paste.ubuntu.com/121546/
[20:07] <dyhex> no one help
[20:07] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: But it returned no results.
[20:07] <dyhex> i think there is no buddy on line
[20:07] <NativeAngels> can anyone tell me how to set up the login info for webhosting
[20:07] <dries> ifroog: hmm, that I don't know how to do it
[20:07] <FFEMTcJ> how can I search via cli for all files that are bigger than X size in MB
[20:07] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, yeah, check the ubuntu wiki on how to get it working
[20:07] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: hmm then its not open, are you trying to access / partition?
[20:07] <ifroog> ah k

[20:08] <enzotib> FFEMTcJ, find /path -size +100MB
[20:08] <abc2xyz> any good book on linux kernel?
[20:08] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: I'm trying to umount /dev/sda1
[20:08] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[20:08] <stroyan> dyhex: Did you source the "./vars" file?
[20:08] <ikonia> abc2xyz: amazon.com - this is ubuntu support only
[20:08] <dries> ifroog: google this please "
[20:08] <dries> QGtkStyle"
[20:08] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169 ty
[20:08] <dries> should help you out..
[20:08] <ifroog> i did, they say to edit threw kcontrol
[20:08] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: what mount point is that used for?
[20:08] <ifroog> dries,
[20:08] <abc2xyz> ikonia meaning?
[20:09] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: It's mounted at /media/Temp
[20:09] <dyhex> i don't know how to do ?
[20:09] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: I've tried umounting the mountpoint and the device itself.
[20:09] <Reformer81> http://www.triplejack.com/remote.php?affcode=431137-8cc09845214004717851f3ae74c5b6d0
[20:09] <Reformer81> crap
[20:09] <dries> yes?
[20:09] <Reformer81> umount: /media/Temp: device is busy.
[20:09] <ikonia> abc2xyz: meaning this channel is for ubuntu realted support - if you look on amazon you'll find lots of good books
[20:09] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, and, if you want *all* the features VirtualBox has to offer, you *could* use the svn version, but that's a *lot* of work :(
[20:09] <stroyan> dyhex: sudo will clear environment variables such as set by "./vars" unless given a -E option.  The directions may not allow for that.
[20:09] <ifroog> i did, they say to edit threw kcontrol
[20:09]  * f_newton wonders if its too early to start drinking beer
[20:09] <Besogon> stroyan, I installed xfce afte I had gnome. And need change main menu. So I need all icon. (I can looking name icons in files of gnome menucertainly, but it too bad)
[20:10] <stealth_tty1> with kernel frame buffer device on, I get no GUI, with it off, I get no OpenGl. It was working before I reconfigured xorg
[20:10] <ikonia> Reformer81: make sure you have no terminals or windows using that file ssytme
[20:10] <ikonia> system
[20:10] <dries> ifroog: hahah, okay, srry then: just picked the first thing off google :D
[20:10] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: i'd boot to root console and do whatever there, lsof should show open files on partitions. try lsof | grep temp
[20:10] <Reformer81> ikonia: I have.  Nothing is using it.... that I can see.  And lsof doesn't show anything using it either.
[20:10] <abc2xyz> ikonia:  ok
[20:10] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169 ok
[20:10] <ikonia> Reformer81: fuser ?
[20:10] <dyhex> sorry what have to do ?  stroyan
[20:10] <Reformer81> ikonia: I don't know what you mean by that, sorry.
[20:11] <ikonia> Reformer81: fuser the file system
[20:11] <dyhex> e option for what ?
[20:11] <Reformer81> ikonia: That wasn't any clearer lol
[20:11] <dries> okay, gotta go
[20:11] <dyhex> this is my first i face this kind of error
[20:11] <ikonia> Reformer81: the command fuser, run it on that file system
[20:11] <Thanatoast> Is there a better channel to ask about Net Manager and wicd in Ubuntu?
[20:11] <Reformer81> ikonia: Hmm... I got it.

[20:13] <maximilian-schro> hi. is there a way to get the current x / y position of a winow?
[20:13] <stroyan> dyhex: The directions in you error message tell you to edit ./vars to set variables and then "source ./vars" to get those variables set in your shell.  Do that.  But you will also need "sudo -E ./build-ca" to preseve those variables when running build-ca
[20:13] <mchamplain> Hi, when I install Ubuntu i find it really slow when it connect to the internet... I tried to load the live CD and change the 'software source'  before I start the installation but it doesn't seems to make anything faster, I think the installation still use the canadian default server and it's really, really slow (like 50kbps instead of 800kpbs I can get with another server)...  Ideas?
[20:13] <FedeUBS> help!
[20:13] <NativeAngels> how to you setup the ftp login for different users in ubuntu
[20:13] <dyhex> this my actual./vars file configuration

[20:14] <dyhex> which line i have to modify ?
[20:14] <NativeAngels> so they can upload webpages
[20:14] <fearful> How can I check if my drivers were installed correctly everything seemed to work fine by default but everyone is having problems with nvidia graphics card, and I have one
[20:14] <mchamplain> FedeUBS: do you have the black screen only with that resolution or every time you change it no matter the resolution?
[20:14] <dyhex> i don't any line with source indication
[20:15] <FedeUBS> only with that
[20:15] <linny1> fearful: it if aint broke dont fix it :)
[20:15] <stroyan> dyhex: It looks like you won't need to modify the defaults.  You will need to source the file to set the environment variables.
[20:15] <fearful> linny1, true, but it says no propiteray drivers found for this system, that means?
[20:15] <Lasivian> is there any way to sort the list of wireless networks in Gnome?
[20:17] <linny1> fearful:that means that it cannot find propritary drivers the ones you are using currently are prolly open source and they are fine for most things what gpu do you have ?
[20:17] <stroyan> dyhex: "source ./vars" is a literal shell command.  You type it at the prompt.
[20:17] <FedeUBS> ?
[20:17] <fearful> linny1, gpu?
[20:17] <Thanatoast> :(
[20:17] <dyhex> desktop:/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0$ source ./vars

[20:17] <dyhex> NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/keys
[20:17] <dyhex> it give that one
[20:17] <HSNews> what is 'metric'? in Nic
[20:18] <fearful> linny1, nvidia accelerator, but how can I check exactly
[20:18] <Kerry_Ki810> hi all
[20:18] <dyhex> is it normal ?
[20:18] <fearful> linny1, I have  Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[20:18] <stroyan> dyhex: That is the script warning you that you are working on files in that directory.  You probably want to copy that aside to your own local directory instead of the original.
[20:19] <rewt> HSNews, 'metric' is sorta like "how much it costs to use this route", so if there's multiple routes to the destination, the lower metric wins
[20:19] <Kerry_Ki810> somebody help me please - trying to get skype to work in Kubuntu 8.10

[20:21] <stroyan> dyhex: It looks like you are working your way through a howto document.  You can follow that.  But if you are told to use sudo you will need "sudo -E" in order to get those environment variables to the command.

[20:25] <tibrox> I think linux sound must be given priority for ubuntu to be taken seriously as a working desktop
[20:25] <ActionParsnip1> FedeUBS: try the modes like the ones in nthis post http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-723334.html
[20:25] <Snover> tibrox: What sound card do you have?
[20:25] <zap1> hi
[20:25] <tibrox> Snover, I'm using an HP/Compaq laptop
[20:26] <newt-home> linux has never had quality sound tibrox and that is mostly because of the proprietary sound drivers of hardware mfgrs
[20:26] <Izinucs> !resolution | FedeUBS
[20:26] <Tucker1979> So can anyone help me if my graphics problem, like a step by step guide, it just a graphic mess on start up and i need to sort it out inside the dos style screem
[20:26] <tibrox> newt-home, It's driving me nuts!
[20:26] <ActionParsnip1> Tucker1979: wasup?
[20:27] <Snover> tibrox: The best advice is to get a different card with support for hardware mixing, but obviously that can be a bit more challenging with a laptop :)
[20:27] <linny1> Tucker1979:what card have you got
[20:27] <zap1> do you know if there is a way to run apple apps into ubuntu ?
[20:27] <newt-home> I understand tibrox... I do all my sound production work in windows or mac because of that but other then that I am completely linux based
[20:27] <Tucker1979> it a Nvidia g72 card
[20:27] <tibrox> Yeah, and now when I want to chat on Skype I have to go to my windows partition :(
[20:28] <newt-home> tibrox: iirc there is a way to make skype work with linux but I have no clue about it
[20:28] <tibrox> newt-home, I've googled the problem silly
[20:28] <tibrox> newt-home, I even intalled esound :(
[20:29] <newt-home> I was referring to audiophile sound production for producing masters for copy

[20:30] <perlmonkey> oh, thanks
[20:30] <Tucker1979> and it a DVI cable as well
[20:30] <perlmonkey> newt-home cool nick
[20:30] <newt-home> heh  its a runner up
[20:30] <perlmonkey> whats your nick normally, just newt?
[20:30] <newt-home> f_newton dude
[20:30] <perlmonkey> oh
[20:30] <jhg> i have a question, the system doesn't see/mount any cdroms (audio nor data) i insert, when i try to mount a data cd manually it says no medium found. any idea?
[20:31] <jhg> i also rebooted btw but that didnt help
[20:31] <skate2> does sudo in other linux distros work the same as sudo in ubuntu or do they have diff options?
[20:31] <Snover> jhg: Are you sure your CD drive isn’t broken?
[20:31] <lucie> test
[20:31] <usser> jhg, sounds like a hardware problem? did u install using cd?
[20:31] <newt-home> most distros dont use sudo but it is available skate2
[20:31] <cwurm> skate2: No, it's not the same in other distros.
[20:31] <usser> skate2, it works the same
[20:31] <usser> hehe
[20:31] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: i'd have a read through 'dmesg | tail' when you put a cd in
[20:31] <skate2> :/
[20:32] <lhoersten> whenever I log out of gnome, my screen turns black (backlight still on) and my computer becomes unresponsive. ctrl + alt + backspace/delete do nothing. I don't see a cursor in the top left either. Anyone have any ideas how to debug this?
[20:32] <cwurm> usser, skate2: It does not. Fedora uses su -c 'command' or su -
[20:32] <jhg> Snover: it still worked yesterday, its a possibility but i thought id first check if there are any known issues concerning this
[20:32] <newt-home> imho it provides an uneeded layer of complexity but I dont make the distro
[20:32] <Ethosser> guys how can I take a complete image of ubuntu server without a) affecting anything on the system b) paying for software :D
[20:32] <Ethosser> Need it so if the hdd fails I can just re-image it
[20:32] <usser> cwurm, im just saying if u enable sudo on fedora/centos/redhat it'll behave the same, su is entirely different beast
[20:32] <skate2> cwurm can you install sudo on fedora?
[20:32] <newt-home> yes
[20:32] <newt-home> you can
[20:33] <newt-home> its available for all linux distros
[20:33] <rewt> !clone | Ethosser
[20:33] <rewt> oh maybe not
[20:33] <cwurm> Yup, it's no problem skate2.
[20:33] <usser> Ethosser, boot into live cd find out the name of your harddrive, and do sudo dd if=/dev/sourcehdd of=/dev/target
[20:33] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: it displays various things, no errors i think
[20:34] <usser> Ethosser, where source and target are harddrive names ie sda or sdb, target have to be at least the same size as source
[20:34] <newt-home> the basic purpose of sudo , skate2 , is to allow varying degrees of root access for different users and groups
[20:34] <Snover> jhg: I would recommend putting in a known working boot CD (eg. a CD you have tested in another machine already). That should tell with certainty if it’s a hardware problem or not
[20:34] <Ethosser> ok, thanks
[20:34] <Ethosser> :)
[20:34] <rewt> couldn't the dd target be a file (for easy transport)?
[20:34] <newt-home> it is totally unnecessary for a single user skate2
[20:34] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: if you manually mount it from command line, can you give us the error in a pastebin
[20:34] <skate2> newt-home,  single user?
[20:35] <newt-home> yeah how many people use your machine skate2?
[20:35] <skate2> just me
[20:35] <newt-home> you are one single user arent youi?
[20:35] <perlmonkey> mkisofs -V LABEL -r directory | gzip > backup.iso.gz
[20:35] <skate2> newt-home, yeah but i still have to use sudo because i cangt login as root
[20:36] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: when i do mount /cdrom it says: mount: No medium found and when i do sudo mount /dev/sda /cdrom it says: mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /cdrom busy
[20:36] <rewt> skate2: "sudo passwd" then give a root pass, and login with that
[20:36] <newt-home> its a protection issue skate2 but one that is more of paranoid prevention rather then necessity
[20:36] <boot_loop> If I ran the command 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' because someone told me this would only disable my touch stick mouse and not my touchpad, but it disabled my touchpad as well, how do I undo that change? or how do I get my touchpad back working??
[20:36] <skate2> rewt well i was told that i should still use sudo because running as root causes processes i start to run as root, such as open office, and that makes the program lesss secure
[20:36] <newt-home> it actually makes it easier to take over your machine through the keyboard skate2
[20:37] <Ethosser> is http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page any good?
[20:37] <Ethosser> looks easier
[20:37] <rewt> yeah, don't run as root
[20:37] <rewt> only login as root if you need to do a lot of root-needing stuff
[20:37] <newt-home> skate2: you should only run as root when not network connected and for maint purposes
[20:37] <rewt> or just "sudo -i" if you need to
[20:37] <skate2> why login as root then i can just sudo -i
[20:37] <skate2> right
[20:37] <newt-home> right
[20:37] <newt-home> what rewt saide
[20:37] <ScottG489> I just changed my fstab and uswsusp.conf file to /dev's for my swap instead of their UUID's. Now it seems to start to work but after a lot of disk activity it just brings me back to the GUI. What should I do?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: wrong command
[20:38] <hayes> ow do i get a backtrace of a perl module
[20:38] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: sudo mount /dev/sdc0 /media/cdrom0
[20:38] <skate2> rewt if i want to switch to a user who doesnt have a login ability do i have to su to root then su to them?
[20:38] <skate2> cause i cant sudo -u non-loginable users like apache
[20:38] <rewt> skate2, i "su thatuser -c /bin/bash"
[20:38]  * newt-home goes back to getting drunk
[20:38] <rewt> not sure if it's "proper"
[20:39] <rewt> but it works
[20:39] <newt-home> thats pretty good rewt
[20:39] <Izinucs> I'd like to slocate all wma files in my ~ and move them to <new directory> from the terminal.. doing it this way will save me hours of locating and copying.
[20:40] <skate2> rewt but i take it loggin in as a nonloginable user is bad and i should just temporarily sudo -u them
[20:40] <usser> Izinucs, use find command
[20:40] <usser> Izinucs, hang on
[20:40] <boot_loop> I need help. I used the 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' command because i was told it would only disable my touch stick and not my touchpad, but it disabled both, how do I get my touchpad back?
[20:40] <newt-home> unauthorized users are not recommended period
[20:41] <Izinucs> maybe something like .. slocate *wma | -exec cp <something here> <new directory> *  usser *
[20:41] <ScottG489> Does the kernel patch for Tuxonice come with 8.10?
[20:41] <rewt> skate2, i've only done that briefly to double check the user has permissions to exec/read/write/whatever
[20:41] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:41] <skate2> rewt if i say 'sudo -i postgres' it says '-bash: postgres no such file or directory'
[20:41] <FM> Izinucs: try this: find ~ .name "*.wma" -exec mv {} /newdirectory \;
[20:41] <usser> Izinucs, more like find ~ -name *.wma -exec mv {} /path/todirectory \;
[20:41] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:42] <newt-home> all anonymous users should be limited to user access only skate2 never give then any root access sudo or other wise
[20:42] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: i have no sdc*, only sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5
[20:42] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:42] <hayes>  did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:42] <FloodBot2> hayes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:42] <iamjay> hey there.. how can I switch from software rendering to my intel 965 one?
[20:42] <usser> Izinucs, find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec mv {} /path/todirectory \; sorry
[20:42] <rewt> skate2, "su postres -c /bin/bash"
[20:42] <rewt> postgres*
[20:42] <rewt> su, not sudo
[20:42] <FM> Izinucs: sorry, that should read: find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec mv {} newdir \;
[20:42] <Izinucs> FM & usser can I use cp instead of mv..?
[20:42] <pitwalker> hi all, anyone has problems with network manager under Jaunty?
[20:42] <hayes> how do i get a backtrace of a perl module
[20:42] <usser> Izinucs, yes sure
[20:42] <skate2> rewt that says authentication failure
[20:42] <rewt> hm
[20:43] <fearful> My screensaver is disabled but it still goes into it any ideas?
[20:43] <Pariah> I started network upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. the network upgrade was cancelled in the middle. now i try to upgrade again but "new upgrade 8.10 is available" is not showing up.
[20:43] <rewt> did you put int he g i missed?
[20:43] <Pariah> can anybody help
[20:43] <skate2> rewt do i have to be root before i do it?
[20:43] <skate2> rewt yeah i spelled it right
[20:43] <FM> Izinucs: yes you can
[20:43] <Izinucs> FM: usser thanks.. I'll give it a shot. :)
[20:43] <mrasty> UK top on ubuntu bug jam
[20:43] <rewt> umm, maybe
[20:43] <mrasty> http://digg.com/linux_unix/UK_Ubuntu_Team_top_of_the_Ubuntu_Bug_Jam
[20:43] <hayes> how do i get a backtrace of a perl module???
[20:43] <felixsulla> I fyou have WinXP on a box already, what is the best way to also have Ubuntu on it without overwriting/changing XP?
[20:43] <rewt> try:  sudo -u postgres /bin/bash
[20:43] <newt-home> Pariah: try cleaning your synaptic buffer and trying again
[20:43] <rafa_> hello people
[20:43] <hayes> Look! A retard!
[20:43] <Pariah> thanks newt-home
[20:44] <Pariah> i'll do that
[20:44] <SiDi> Pariah: you should just try to update your packages. It's likely that it'll finish downloading what it was downloading. Either, i think the command line is "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" for upgrading, but do a normal update before
[20:44] <FM> Izinucs: good luck
[20:44] <Tucker1979> can i use a Viritul Machine to test some things
[20:44] <skate2> rewt that worked :D
[20:44] <hayes> Look! A retard!
[20:44] <rewt> \o/
[20:44] <usser> felixsulla, repartition your hdd to have some space for ubuntu and just install it into empty space it will find your xp installation and will add a boot option for it
[20:44] <vatja> hello people, I have one question. I'am not able to find amarok2 in synaptic, but I added the line from the installation-instructions to the sources: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-<IP_ADDRESS>
[20:44] <Pariah> i tried normal update before many a times
[20:44] <vatja> any ideas?
[20:44] <rafa_> hey guys, do u know how to burn ps2 games on ubuntu???
[20:44] <FloodBot2> vatja: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:44] <Pariah> but showing no new updates
[20:44] <Pariah> now
[20:44] <ma5t3rw1tt> @ActionParsnip1: Are you there?
[20:44] <rewt> hayes, maybe #perl would be better for that?
[20:44] <pitwalker> Pariah: gksu update-manager -d
[20:44] <hayes> k
[20:45] <pitwalker> Pariah: !!! important !!! if you start under a terminal dont close it!!!!
[20:45] <Pariah> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade showing 0 everything
[20:45] <newt-home> oh lordy..... I am not part of that one pariah
[20:45] <rafa_> how to burn ps2 games on ubuntu???
[20:45] <Pariah> yeah newt i'll try to clear the buffer now
[20:46] <ma5t3rw1tt> I need some quick help. What would be the command where I don't have the busybox when I boot from a bootable USB stick. I was talking with ActionParsnip1 but he don't seem to be here at the moment.
[20:46] <Tucker1979> i still need help with this graphic problems, i need a easy guide to sort this problem out, i got a Nvidia, DVI Cable, Ubuntu 8.10
[20:46] <newt-home> try man apt-get Pariah
[20:46] <skate2> rewt i can also 'sudo -i; su - postgres'
[20:46] <ma5t3rw1tt> Something about making sure the permission is 755 on my home directory so it can properly save
[20:46] <hey_joe> i get segmentation faults and rc-default main process errors when booting from my pci ati video card instead of my onboard intel.. running ubuntu 8.04, any suggestions?
[20:46] <rewt> yeah skate2, but then you're starting up more processes than necessary
[20:46] <hey_joe> boots fine to the onboard video card
[20:46] <skate2> rewt true
[20:46] <boot_loop> Folks, if I removed my touchpad device by typing modprobe -r psmouse, how do I get it back?? How can I reinstall my touchpad?
[20:46] <Tucker1979> i just get a graphic mess, when i boot up Ubuntu
[20:47] <TnEt1> Hi all...any one notice that web surfing in Ubuntu is slow?
[20:47] <newt-home> hey_joe: try booting in to a recovery kernel and making sure your display info is correct
[20:47] <fearful> My screensaver is disabled but it still goes into it any ideas?
[20:47] <boot_loop> TNEt1: not at all, much faster surfing than any windows PC I've used of late
[20:47] <ma5t3rw1tt> TnEt1: Are you using wireless?
[20:47] <TnEt1> No, wired
[20:47] <sagredo> hi, after moving to 8.10 my system hangs at about 50% looking boot for what seems like a full minute
[20:48] <Condoulo> TnEt1, switching from Chrome to Firefox, yeah. I feel the difference.
[20:48] <rewt> TnEt1, are you surfing linux sites or windows sites?
[20:48] <ma5t3rw1tt> TnEt1: hmmmm, maybe its your network
[20:48]  * Condoulo is about to install Chrome in Wine or something.
[20:48] <sagredo> anyone know a fix?
[20:48] <newt-home> need more info sagredo
[20:48] <TnEt1> I will try it. No issues on my OpenSuse PC or XP.
[20:48] <boot_loop> Does anyone know that the command would be to add the module 'psmouse' to my kernel using modprobe??
[20:49] <josher4> ##windows
[20:49] <AdamS42> I don't use nfs and /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs appears to be causing me trouble. Is there a proper way to remove mountnfs?
[20:49] <shausam27> cman will not open durng boot
[20:49] <Elmaron> I read about ubuntu netbook remix
[20:50] <Elmaron> it is supposed to have good asus eee support
[20:50] <Pariah> newt-home plz. tell how to clear the synaptic buffer
[20:50] <Cpudan80> !eee | Elmaron
[20:50] <Pariah> i tried to search the help
[20:50] <Elmaron> but it also ships with specific programs to get "easy into the net"
[20:50] <Elmaron> does the normal ubuntu also support eee that well by now?
[20:50] <wolter> is there a free software which can calculate formulas i write?
[20:50] <upfwnv03> TnEt1 did u disable ipv6 in firefox ?
[20:50] <usser> wolter, octave
[20:50] <newt-home> Pariah: not sure Im more familiar with yum but synaptic is a graphical front end for apt-get so if you open a terminal and do either apt-get --help or man apt-get you will find a cli way of doing it
[20:51] <TnEt1> Yes I did...I will review the steps in case I missed anything.
[20:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> I need some help. I just created a bootable usb stick using a guide over at pendrivelinux.com where you use the live cd to create a bootable usb stick and then you can boot Ubuntu from it. Well upon first boot, everything was fine. Then when I made some changes, like I changed the background & things and then closed out my session then later tried booting from it again, I keep coming to a busybox. I was being told earlier about if
[20:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> I come to busybox again, is to enter a command or something to make sure my home directory is 755. What would the command b so my settings are properly saved when I close my sessions from the USB flash stick?
[20:51] <newt-home> you will have to  close out synaptic first though
[20:51] <Pariah> ok
[20:51] <Pariah> thanks a ton
[20:51] <Pariah> new
[20:51] <upfwnv03> Elmaron try CrunchEEE based on ubuntu but made for the eee

[20:51] <ubuntu810> hi guys i asked about ubuntu 8.10 and privacy with movie player and f-spot how to get not to keep a list of every movie and picture i look at ?
[20:51] <newt-home> bbiab
[20:52] <Izinucs> FM ok.. another issue.. some of these files have the wrong permissions and won't move.. so I tried "sudo find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec chown <name:name> {} \;  and the same thing again with chmod 777 but it looks like I need to do it recursively. where would I put the -r to make it recursive?
[20:52] <iio> lol
[20:52] <shausam27> cman will not open durng boot i have to ctrl-alt delete to finsh boot
[20:52] <iio>  8-)

[20:53] <Izinucs> FM: there's gotta be a way to do it.. :)
[20:53] <ma5t3rw1tt> I keep getting a busybox on a USB flash stick bootup, how do I fix this?
[20:54] <ma5t3rw1tt> Was being told ealier that my home directory might be 755 or something like that
[20:54] <FM> Izinucs: what is the exact message you're getting while trying to copy those files?
[20:54] <FedeUBS> hi again
[20:54] <Elmaron> I read the ubuntu eee-related pages
[20:54] <FedeUBS>  I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17, in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[20:54] <Elmaron> but it's still not completely clear to me if the default ubuntu does come with eee acpi support or not
[20:54] <Elmaron> or if only the netbook remix does
[20:54] <FedeUBS> someone help
[20:55] <FedeUBS> me
[20:55] <Izinucs> FM: yada yada ... permission denied
[20:55] <Izinucs> FM: yada yada = file location
[20:55] <skate2> how can i tell if a user has a password or not
[20:55] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: i had ubuntu 8.10 on my eee 900.. and it worked fine... i sold it however, and bought an AAO w/ a hard drive... and 8.10 works fine
[20:55] <ubuntu810> FedeUBS are you using onboard video ?
[20:55] <FedeUBS> yes
[20:55] <Izinucs> skate2: unless you go to great lengths.. every user on linux has a password
[20:55] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: does it "just work fine" or also provide acpi support?
[20:55] <raboof> i have a machine that has 2 disks: 1 removable and 1 fixed.
[20:55] <FedeUBS> ubuntu810:yes
[20:55] <Elmaron> so will the shutdown button and the sleep mode work etc?
[20:55] <ugliefrog> is there a program for ubuntu that allows voice chat  like ventrillo
[20:55] <fearful> My screensaver is disabled but it still goes into it any ideas?
[20:56] <Elmaron> suspend to disk etc
[20:56] <FloatingApplets> Hello, could anyone help me with a problem I have with my applets such as "NetworkManager Applet" and "screenlets-daemon.py" floating in seperate windows rather than stick to the top panel? This happened when I changed to a multiple screen config.
[20:56] <FM> Izinucs: try with "sudo find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec cp -p {} newdir \;"
[20:56] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: honestly, i don't remember...
[20:56] <Elmaron> because on archlinux they don't
[20:56] <Elmaron> and that's lame
[20:56] <raboof> i'd like to install ubuntu on the fixed disk, but the machine has no functional cd drive - however, i have a fully functional ubuntu installation on the removable disk
[20:56] <skate2> iziinucs well for instance apache and stuff dont seem to have passwords, they're not loginable
[20:56] <Elmaron> to enable them on archlinux I need a custom kernel
[20:56] <Izinucs> FM: what's the -p option?
[20:56] <ubuntu810> it may be a limitaion of the onboard video
[20:56] <meoblast001> hi
[20:56] <Elmaron> the only distribution where this seems to work is debian eee edition
[20:56] <Elmaron> but it's based on etch and the software is sooo old
[20:56] <ugliefrog> is there a program for ubuntu that allows voice chat  like ventrillo
[20:56] <Pariah> apt-get autoclean is this the command to clear the synaptic buffer
[20:56] <Pariah> य़
[20:56] <dirtybank> ola
[20:56] <raboof> i apt-got 'ubiquity' (the installation application from the livecd), but it appears to expect a '/target' directory
[20:56] <raboof> what does that mean?
[20:56] <Elmaron> so I'd prefer ubuntu, but only if the support is at least as good as debian eee's
[20:56] <FedeUBS> in 7.10 it works
[20:57] <FM> Izinucs: It should preserve the permissions after copying the file. It is not mandatory though
[20:57] <FloatingApplets> Hello, could anyone help me with a problem I have with my applets such as "NetworkManager Applet" and "screenlets-daemon.py" floating in seperate windows rather than stick to the top panel? This happened when I changed to a multiple screen config.
[20:57] <Pariah> i used this command but still upgrade 8.10 is not available
[20:57] <meoblast001> ubuntu says i have permissions to the directory "/var/www" and even says i own it, but when i try to upload files i get "Cannot Make Directory" errors....... why would that be?
[20:57] <laughzilla> heya :) anyone know why a my ubuntu box doesn't detect my boss br-1600 digital mixer when i connect them via usb?  i can't find anything that answers that question online.
[20:57] <ubuntu810> what is the chipset for the onboard video ?
[20:57] <FedeUBS> nvidia 410 with gforce 6100
[20:57] <raboof> meoblast001: upload how? ftp? www?
[20:57] <meoblast001> sftp
[20:58] <illumin8> ugliefrog, look into teamspeak.

[20:58] <FloatingApplets> Hello, could anyone help me with a problem I have with my applets such as "NetworkManager Applet" and "screenlets-daemon.py" floating in seperate windows rather than stick to the top panel? This happened when I changed to a multiple screen config.
[20:58] <RussM> Pariah, If you bring up System / Administration / Software Sources and go to the "Updates" tab, what does it say for "Release Upgrade"?
[20:59] <ubuntu810> i had to change a bios setting to get a higher res.
[20:59] <Hiroga> Hey, I have a question:  I'm trying to run winetricks with sudo, but it tells me that I don't have permission to edit the files.  I have edited files that require root permissions with sudo before.  Any ideas what may be wrong?
[20:59] <Pariah> I'm using Normal Releases options RussM
[20:59] <Pariah> Per the instruction
[20:59] <Pariah> s
[20:59] <ubuntu810> in your bios change the setting from 200 MHz to auto
[20:59] <meoblast001> :/
[20:59] <CaMason> hi guys. I just tried to ran the software update and my system has frozen. Should I hard-reset or wait?
[20:59] <RussM> Pariah, OK. That's what got me the last time. :)
[21:00] <Izinucs> FM: do wma's need an execute bit set?  seems weird.. almost all the wma's copying have either 777 (the ones that I changed) or 333 permissions (-wx-wx-wx)
[21:00] <FedeUBS> 200 Mhz from the video card?
[21:00] <fearful> How can I make xscreensaver default and stop gnome screensaver for ever
[21:00] <Pariah> RussM I've followed all the instructions correctly for the Network Upgrade
[21:00] <Pariah> I
[21:00] <ubuntu810> no its under HD Audio if you have high def audio
[21:00] <usser> Izinucs, executable bit usually gets set when you copy files of fat partition cause fat doesnt know any better.
[21:01] <FM> Izinucs: No, they don't need it. Probably some messy permissions due to copy procedure from a windows file system
[21:01] <FedeUBS> ?
[21:01] <Elmaron> nobody here who knows if ubuntu supports asus eee 1000h acpi or not?
[21:01] <FedeUBS> ubuntu are you talking to me?
[21:01] <Pariah> So how can I get the "New Upgrade available" back
[21:01] <Pariah> RussM
[21:01] <ubuntu810> yes
[21:01] <FloatingApplets> Can anyone help with floating applets?
[21:01] <illumin8> Elmaron, someone suggested using crunchbang linux
[21:01] <Izinucs> usser: FM that would explain it.. obviously what happened here with wma files.. certainly didn't create them on linux ..
[21:01] <Pariah> Can Anyone help
[21:01] <usser> FloatingApplets, just restart xorg, that happens sometimes
[21:02] <FloatingApplets> ok, I'll try
[21:02] <ubuntu810> one sec i will try to paste a screen shot for you
[21:02] <Elmaron> illumin8: I dunno about crunchbang linux, I only know debian eee pc works perfectly fine
[21:02] <FedeUBS> ok
[21:02] <Elmaron> but it is based on debian _etch_
[21:02] <Elmaron> and etch is so old
[21:02] <Elmaron> :/
[21:02] <met_> can anyone help me with getting my intel graphic card to run, I'm trying to install some drivers here: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html... but I get the following error message http://pastebin.com/m151ccc83  how can I get dri2proto to the latest version...
[21:02] <RussM> Pariah, I have no other suggestion, unfortunately. It worked for me, so I never had to dig deeper.
[21:03] <illumin8> Elmaron, crunchbang is a ubuntu based distro, they have a version specificly for eee
[21:03] <IndyGunFreak> crunchbang will probably work fine on an eee.. i've had it on my AAO w/o problems, and they have very similar hardware
[21:03] <illumin8> indeed, im using it now
[21:03] <illumin8> extreamly fast.
[21:03] <dayo2> Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06. ubuntu 8.04. on an empty line when i repeatedly press Backspace of LeftArrow, i get:    g  g  g  g
[21:03] <dayo2> how can i get rid of that?
[21:03] <Elmaron> illumin8 how different is it from ubuntu?
[21:03] <felixsulla> Is there any potential hazard with GRUB overwriting the windos installer?
[21:04] <felixsulla> Or windows startup I mean?
[21:04] <NativeAngels> ive installed vsftpd on my linux box but when dreamweaver goes to transfer files its getting permisons error how do i fix this
[21:04] <dayo2> !grub | felixsulla
[21:04] <ARCKEDA> met_: Pm.
[21:04] <IndyGunFreak> felixsulla: if you mean the windows master boot record, no, there's no real harm in it.
[21:04] <Hiroga> Ahh, ok I found the problem
[21:04] <illumin8> Elmaron, it uses openbox as a window manager instead of gnome, so its slightly diffirent but much more customizable. it comes preinstalled with most of the ubuntu restricted. (flash works out of the box(
[21:04] <Hiroga> I shouldn't have run it with Sudo in the first place
[21:05] <Elmaron> illumin8 does it have ubuntu repositories for software?
[21:05] <felixsulla> I mean, if the machine has XP now, and you add Ubuntu as a dual boot option
[21:05] <Elmaron> e.g. can I install kde 4.2?
[21:05] <illumin8> Elmaron, yes it is able to interface with the gnome-app-install (the add remove tool)
[21:05] <Elmaron> no, I mean what is the packaging base?
[21:05] <felixsulla> This tutorial says grub overwrites the xp loader, and there is no way to get it back. Should I be concerned about taht?
[21:05] <Elmaron> apt-get again? and does it have the same repositories?
[21:05] <jlevy> Anyone familiar with php configuration on a ubuntu server LAMP install?
[21:05] <illumin8> Elmaron, ubuntu 8.10
[21:05] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: if you want kde 4.2, why not just install kubuntu?  but yes,... you could install it on crunchbang (crunchbang is more or less ubuntu 8.10, with openbox gui)
[21:06] <Elmaron> and is KDE in those repositories?
[21:06] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: because ubuntu fails on eee?
[21:06] <illumin8> Elmaron, yes apt-get package.
[21:06] <Elmaron> at least that seems to be the case
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: in what manner?.. ubuntu 8.10 worked fine on my eee
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> which eee do you ahve?
[21:06] <illumin8> Elmaron, you should join the crunchbang channel here they have one and could answer many questions
[21:07] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: I have 1000H and I just wanted to know if ubuntu also has the proper acpi drivers
[21:07] <Guest49354> Eeek! I've been battling this ubuntu problem for like a month! I could only login in failsafe mode and my .xsession-errors log says "Executing /usr/bin/gnome-session failed, will try to run x-terminal-emulator "fatal IO error 111"
[21:07] <Elmaron> and nobody here was able to answer... and illumin8 sounded a bit as if no
[21:07] <Pariah> I've followed all the instructions correctly on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading for upgrade to 8.10
[21:07] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: oh thats right.. sorry.
[21:07] <Hiroga> Thanks for the help guys
[21:07] <Guest49354> This happened after upgrading to 8.10
[21:07] <Pariah> but to no avail
[21:07] <TiCPU> is there a way to control fan speed on HP laptops?
[21:07] <The_Joe_> Exactly what does " sudo killall -9 peer " do (don't ask why)
[21:07] <jlevy> Does anyone here use the zend sever debugger on an ubuntu LAMP server?
[21:07] <Guest49354> Is there a number I can call that will charge me to fix this? I really just want this problem fixed
[21:07] <Pariah> the network upgrade was cancelled on an earlier occassion
[21:08] <illumin8> Elmaron, #crunchbang? been logging all night dont see you in the histrory?
[21:08] <ubuntu810> FedeUBS go here its the first setting under advanced:
[21:09] <ugliefrog> teamspeak way to complicated
[21:10] <Izinucs> mumble
[21:10] <Guest49354> I tried completely removing ubuntu-desktop, every package that starts with gnome-* and removed my graphics drivers, and I still could not log into gnome without failsafe! I need some help
[21:10] <Wunderbar> I think I may have just had my first denial of service attack...:(
[21:11] <FedeUBS> I will triy it
[21:11] <RussM> Wunderbar, Any chance you can create a new user and try logging in with that?
[21:11] <FedeUBS> thanks
[21:11] <the_dark_warrio> I've chosen the Tango Icon pack, but the icons in Places top menu haven't changed. Any tips?
[21:11] <Wunderbar> have done...
[21:11] <Wunderbar> more than once..
[21:11] <IndyGunFreak> Wunderbar: even cheap routers protect against that
[21:11] <RussM> Wunderbar, Same on the new user, eh?
[21:12] <Guest49354> If I start failsafe terminal, I can then enter "gnome-session" and it'll start up fine, but according to .xsession-errors it was unable to start when I first logged in
[21:12] <Wunderbar> yeah
[21:12] <Izinucs> Guest49354: do you have an Intel 8200 chipset board?
[21:12] <Wunderbar> sucks
[21:12] <jlevy> anyone familiar with "wrong ELF class" errors?
[21:13] <Guest49354> Izinucs: I am on an M1530 laptop
[21:13] <Slart> jlevy: sounds like you're trying to run something that is not compiled for your current system
[21:13] <Izinucs> Guest49354: k.. nevermind..
[21:13] <Slart> jlevy: like trying to run a 64bit binary or a 32bit system
[21:13] <Pariah> what should i do to upgrade to 8.10. An earlier network upgrade to 8.10 was cancelled. Now I cannot upgrade to 8.10
[21:13] <Pariah> Anybody with solution
[21:14] <Izinucs> Guest49354: since you've removed all gnome- pkgs.. how about, from failsafe,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to make sure that everything is put back correctly?
[21:14] <adaptr> Pariah: what do you mean that you "can't" upgrade
[21:14] <Guest49354> Izinucs: I did that and it didn't work
[21:14] <Pariah> adaptr. I don't get any upgrade notification
[21:14] <Izinucs> Guest49354: ok.. missed that part of the conversation..
[21:15] <Pariah> i don't get any 8.10 availabe
[21:15] <Pariah> available
[21:15] <Pariah> message
[21:15] <jlevy> Slart: the error happens when I try to load the ZendDebugger.so php extension.  The version i downloaded is marked x86_64.  I am running Ubuntu 8.10 LAMP sever on a virtualbox vm
[21:15] <Slart> jlevy: are you running a 64 bit virtual system?
[21:15] <Pariah> This is happening since on an earlier occasion 8.10 network upgrade was cancelled
[21:15] <adaptr> Pariah: so do it manually : sudo update-manager -c
[21:15] <jlevy> Slart: I don't think so, how can I check?
[21:16] <Slart> jlevy: start a terminal in the vm, run "uname -a"
[21:16] <EdSquareCat> why does ubuntu load with so many kernel versions? (which one should i use?)
[21:16] <Sajuuk> hey guys I wish to be able to connect to my ipod through ubuntu 8.10 server but it doesn't see the ipod, whats wrong?
[21:16] <Tommasa> I saw an article on reddit the other day that explained a command I could pipe anything to to show a little progress bar in the console, but I can
[21:16] <Slart> EdSquareCat: depends on what you want to do with it
[21:16] <Pariah> adaptR it's not working either
[21:16] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to run a .jar file on ubuntu?
[21:16] <Tommasa> 't seem to find it... anyone know what it is?
[21:16] <jlevy> Slart: i686
[21:16] <Guest49354> Izinucs: .xsession-errors says executing /usr/bin/gnome-session failed, gnome-terminal: Fatal IO error 111( connection refused) on X server :0.0
[21:16] <g0th> I bought two Zyxel NWA570N wireless ap's to connect my appartment with another appartment on the opposite side of the street. The zyxel ap should be able to make 300 Mbit/s, but I would be ok with the g standard (54 Mbit/s). But at the moment I always have around 1 Mbit/s instead (not even 1/10th of 11Mbit/s). I also tried to set it up when I had both machines opposite to each other (1m). It never achieved great speed. We have quite a few aps
[21:16] <RoastedTiresX> Ed - the most recent one, which is normally at the top. The reason they have multiple kernels is sometimes if you have problems iwth a newer kernel, the older kernel is in the list which gives you the abilitiy to boot to what works for you.
[21:16] <Slart> EdSquareCat: the regular desktop kernel is ok for most occasions
[21:16] <Pariah> It's showing your system is up to date
[21:16] <Sjimmie> EdSquareCat: just pick the generic one and it will automatically select the correct kernel version
[21:16] <Fallen[qa]> blizzkid; Im back again hehe
[21:16] <prince_jammys> Tommasa: pvm maybe
[21:16] <Slart> jlevy: then you have a 32 bit ubuntu system running in your vm.. so you should download a 32 bit version of that file
[21:17] <prince_jammys> Tommasa: excuse me, 'pv'
[21:17] <EdSquareCat> generic one? there are just a bunch of different kernel versions to choose from.
[21:17] <Pariah> I've chosen Normal Releases option for UPdates
[21:17] <blizzkid> wb Fallen[qa] any luck?
[21:17] <Tommasa> prince_jammys: Thanks
[21:17] <FedeUBS1> Ubuntu810, I've checked the bios and there is nothing
[21:17] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to run a .jar file on ubuntu?
[21:17] <EdSquareCat> i chose the "highest" one and it just booted in text-mode. i chose another and it booted normally
[21:17] <Slart> !java | Kingsy101
[21:17] <jlevy> Slart: that's what I thought, but the only version is x86_64, which seems like it should work for both
[21:17] <ubuntu810> you changed it from 200 MHz to auto ?
[21:17] <Guest49354> Kingsy101: -java -jar <jarfilename>
[21:17] <FedeUBS1> I can't
[21:18] <Slart> jlevy: it won't.. you can run 32 bit files on a 64 bit system.. not the other way around
[21:18] <Guest49354> Can someone help me get logging into gnome working?
[21:18] <FedeUBS1> send me the screen shot
[21:18] <Guest49354> I tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop to no avail
[21:18] <rapha> Hi!
[21:18] <rapha> Can you help me get my Logitech QuickCam to work?
[21:18] <jlevy> Slart: which would you dl? http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/server-debugger/

[21:19] <mkokotovich> Hello everyone, does anyone know what the default sound server in 9.04 is going to be?
[21:19] <mkokotovich> pulseaudio?
[21:19] <Slart> jlevy: one of the ones marked "i386"
[21:19] <Sjimmie> EdSquareCat: all you need is this package -> linux-image-generic
[21:19] <Slart> !jaunty | mkokotovich
[21:19] <usser_> mkokotovich, still pulse yes
[21:19] <jlevy> Slart: I'll give it a shot, thanks
[21:19] <Slart> mkokotovich: but I'm guessing pulseaudio
[21:19] <g0th> another question: what could be a reason that rsync -rvP --size-only /dir/file /media/usbstick/file is over 5 times faster without "sudo" then it is _with_ "sudo" in front...
[21:19] <Sjimmie> EdSquareCat: that will slect the right version and type of kernel
[21:19] <Slart> jlevy: you're welcome
[21:19] <FedeUBS1> I'll check again
[21:19] <ubuntu810> ok good luck
[21:19] <mkokotovich> thanks
[21:20] <rapha> Slart: I got Logitech QuickCam Express, which uses module "qc-usb". The page you gave me says compile module yourself, but the link it gives does not work ... where should I take it from then?
[21:20] <willy_> hey guys, my wireless is not showing up how can i regain it
[21:20] <kira\> does openbox have 3d support for games like wow yet?
[21:20] <Slart> rapha: you'll need to find the original site for that module.. google might help
[21:21] <rapha> kira\: openbox does not have to support them. it's not a question of the window manager.
[21:21] <usser_> kira\, what does openbox have to do with 3d
[21:21] <Guest49354> gnome sometimes makes me so sad
[21:21] <hemimaniac> hello, im an ubuntu noob
[21:21] <matrix> sometimes i loose my sound on ubuntu i need to reboot and i get the sound back what is wrong with my pc
[21:21] <rapha> Slart: oh found it in Synaptic :)
[21:21] <hemimaniac> need a wee bit of advice
[21:21] <g0th> anyone?
[21:21] <Slart> kira\: virtualbox has some start for 3d support... it's only been available for a short time though.. only works with opengl also, I think
[21:21] <RoastedTiresX> matrix - do you have two sound cards in your computer?
[21:21] <IndyGunFreak> hemimaniac: ask your question
[21:21] <NativeAngels> ive set up a ftp server on my linux box, and want to use dreamweaver to ftp files, it logs on fine, but then get a permision error how do i fix this
[21:21] <matrix> nope just one
[21:21] <Slart> rapha: even better =)
[21:21] <kira\> rapha, usser_, Slart: lol, sorry I meant virtualbox
[21:22] <RoastedTiresX> it may be an issue related to pulse audio, something I'm not too familiar with. I've only ahd trouble with it with multiple sound cards...
[21:22] <kira\> Slart: okay, thanks
[21:22] <hemimaniac> im using ubuntu 8.04 and id like to update the ktorrent version to 3.2, cant seen to find help in this area
[21:22] <Sajuuk> hey guys I wish to be able to connect to my ipod through ubuntu 8.10 server but it doesn't see the ipod in /media/, whats wrong?
[21:22] <Guest49354> can someone help me be able to log into gnome without failsafe?  VMWare Workstation or even Player *might* work, I think both have an experimental 3D mode
[21:23] <Slart> Daniel_G: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic or something like that
[21:23] <jlevy> Slart: that worked.  Given the amount of time I wasted using the wrong version, I feel pretty dumb.  Thanks again for your help!
[21:23] <Kingsy101> after I have installed something like openjdk-6-jre can I just double click on a .jar file and it will run?
[21:23] <rapha> Slart: But it doesn't compile :-(
[21:23] <kira\> usser_: okay, thanks. lol, ive tried everything for getting better linux fps in wow (I only get about 8, painfully slow), so virtual box is my last attemtp
[21:23] <Daniel_G> Slart: i thought as much, once ive done that do i need make any other changes? or will it boot into the new kernel on the next restart?
[21:23] <rdw200169> hemimaniac, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=ktorrent
[21:24] <usser_> kira\, you have to run wow in opengl on wine, ie wine wow.exe -opengl

[21:24] <matrix>  0 snd_intel8x0
[21:24] <matrix>  1 snd_mpu401

[21:24] <Kingsy101> hmmm has anyone got any pointers... I have just installed openjdk-6-jre how can I run a jar file?
[21:24] <kira\> usser_: I am :| Trust me, ive tried about everything
[21:24] <Kingsy101> double clicking it still just brings it up as a archive

[21:24] <erikcc> I need help logging into gnome without failsafe. Already tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and every package starting with gnome-*.
[21:24] <Slart> Daniel_G: you'll be able to select the new kernel when you reboot.. in the grub menu.. you might have to press esc while booting for it to show up
[21:24] <Slart> rapha: error messages?
[21:25] <Xikkub> does anybody have a dictionary file that contains REAL words from the dictionary
[21:25] <Daniel_G> Slart: its a server mate, i only have SSH access and no KVM
[21:25] <icons-noob> i've downloaded some icons from gnome look - and i'm struggling to install them even after googling.. could someone help?
[21:25] <jrib> erikcc: create a new user.  Are you able to login with the new user?
[21:25] <FedeUBS> I don't have that option on my bios
[21:25] <matrix> sometimes i loose my sound on ubuntu i need to reboot and i get the sound back what is wrong with my pc
[21:25] <FedeUBS> ubuntu810:  I don't have that option on my bios
[21:25] <prince_jammys> erikcc: did you change the permissions of any dotfiles in your homedir?
[21:25] <Slart> Daniel_G: then it's off to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure it's setup right.. but usually it will boot the ne kernel by default
[21:25] <Sajuuk> hey guys I wish to be able to connect to my ipod through ubuntu 8.10 server but it doesn't see the ipod in /media/, whats wrong?
[21:25] <Xikkub> i need a REAL dictionary file :(

[21:26] <morphles> i have 8.04 and i want to upgrade to 8.10, but i have slow connection, and quite a lot of apps installed. is there a way to perform upgrade in parts or best using torrents, to be able to stop/continue package downloads since i dont want to keep my pc on for like 3 nights?
[21:26] <jrib> Xikkub: we need a REAL question to answer :)
[21:26] <erikcc> I did not change permissions of any dot files and let me see if a new user is able to login
[21:26] <Kingsy101> usser_ - I have Open JDK Java 6 web start but that just asked for where I kept cache files and then did nothing
[21:26] <Slart> morphles: download a iso file of 8.10 and use that to upgrade
[21:26] <icons-noob> where would i go to install new icons i've downloaded
[21:26] <Xikkub> does anybody have a dictionary file with REAL words from the dictionary excluding fake words
[21:26] <Slart> morphles: you can download the iso using torrents if you want.. check the download page
[21:26] <jrib> Xikkub: what do you mean by "real" words...?
[21:27] <usser_> Kingsy101, in gnome right click on the file, there should be open with menu, click that in the new window theres a text field at the bottom type java -jar in that and press ok
[21:27] <Xikkub> jrib: the dictionary files i haev contain real words, but they also contain strange, not-real words like IGN and stuff
[21:27] <Xikkub> i need one that is just like the Merian dictionary used for scrabble or something
[21:27] <Kingsy101> usser_ - thanks :)
[21:27] <morphles> Slart: yeach i have iso, bet the peroblems is i have lots of apps that are not in iso. when i upgraded from 7.<something> to 8.04 i had to download like >3Gbs, and now it probably would be even more
[21:28] <IndyGunFreak> icons-noob: is the icon pack a tar file?
[21:28] <timahvo1> Xikkub: you mean like aspell ?
[21:28] <hemimaniac> so rdw200169, i just take the commands from the text page and run them in terminal?
[21:28] <ubuntu810> FedeUBS ok then your bios is older them mine
[21:28] <Xikkub> isnt that just a program to spellcheck?
[21:28] <FedeUBS> yes
[21:28] <ubuntu810> mine is the GF8200A
[21:28] <Slart> morphles: oh.. ok.. I see.. there are also dvd's available.. those contain even more packages.. not sure if that will help you
[21:28] <Xikkub> i need a plaintext doc that has each word on a different line. does apsell haev that
[21:28] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: Yes i extracted it into ~/.icons
