[06:40] <Aren> dooglus, the documentation for any command can usually be found with either "man <command>" or "info <command>"
[06:41] <Aren> dooglus, make sure you have your man/info pages installed
[06:41] <dooglus> Aren: yes, but not for 'mv', it seems
[06:41] <matthew_> dooglus what are you trying to do ?
[06:41] <dooglus> Aren: any idea which package the mv docs are in?
[06:41] <loswillios> hello
[06:41] <Aren> dooglus, not sure really
[06:41] <dooglus> matthew_: I'm trying to find the documentation for mv
[06:41] <Aren> loswillios, ello
[06:41] <loswillios> wtf is "audit" and why is it preventing me from printing?
[06:41] <Aren> dooglus, http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?mv
[06:41] <Aren> as a backup plan
[06:42] <matthew_> http://linux.die.net/man/1/mv
[06:42] <Pici> dooglus: coreutils package
[06:42] <GNine> it surprises me matthew didnt know about ubunty feisty fawn 7.04
[06:42] <dooglus> Aren: ah, I thought mv was part of fileutils
[06:42] <Pici> dooglus: I did dpkg -S /bin/mv
[06:43] <GNine> u must be on redhat9 , arent u
[06:43] <loswillios> this is in my logs: http://pastebin.ca/657118

[06:44] <Hobbsee> Pici: ah, thanks.
[06:44] <Pici> Hobbsee: Yep yep
[06:44] <matthew_> before Ive used red hat for 5 years
[06:44] <Aren> loswillios, Audit is just saying that there's a security/program error
[06:44] <tendertang> oh, I know.
[06:45] <tendertang> thinks
[06:45] <matthew_> I think I used windows 98 for 8 hours
[06:45] <loswillios> Aren: oh. not audits fault then?
[06:45] <Aren> lol Audit's not actually a program/whatever
[06:45] <dooglus> Aren, matthew_: ok, I found it.  to see 'mv' docs, you type "info coreutils" and search for 'mv'...  looks like a bug to me
[06:45] <loswillios> Aren: sorry
[06:45] <Aren> loswillios, no need to appologise
[06:46] <myriadar> hello :) i have a little problem with teamspeak 2, my microphone wont work (thinkpad r60), i tried aoss /ts2
[06:46] <matthew_> i don't need mv docs lol
[06:46] <^Flash^> myriadar "Roger that"
[06:46] <WindowsRuls> Hello people
[06:46] <Aren> loswillios, check your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[06:46] <Aren> make sure you're actually allowed access
[06:46] <myriadar> has anyone tips?
[06:47] <Aren> myriadar, does it work in other software?
[06:47] <WindowsRuls> Halim ubuntu!
[06:47] <loswillios> Aren: it's 755 root:root and I'm starting cups as root too.   Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti or mneptok
[06:49] <uberspaced> anyway of figuring out what the easiest way to get postgresql client 8.2 is?
[06:49] <matthew_> windows rules lol
[06:49] <alesan> which command-line command can I give to end the current graphical session?
[06:49] <loswillios> Aren: I haven't fiddled with cupsd.conf myself, the default 1.2.8 just won't start
[06:49] <alesan> should I kill something?
[06:49] <Hobbsee> bruenig: ?
[06:49] <Aren> loswillios, i'm looking into it for you
[06:50] <bruenig> Hobbsee, needed regex to get them both
[06:50] <loswillios> Aren: thanks. do you need anything?
[06:50] <bruenig> I am on serious lag so maybe that is the question
[06:50] <myriadar> audacity doesnt work, too :/
[06:50] <Aren> loswillios, not yet, I'm just seeing if it's a known bug first
[06:50] <soothsayer> alesan: kill gnome-session
[06:50] <soothsayer> alesan: ctrl-alt-backspace kills the X server
[06:50] <alesan> soothsayer, I need it in a script
[06:51] <Aren> loswillios, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/131952
[06:51] <alesan> is killall gnome-session ok then? I would like a "soft" logout if possible :)
[06:51] <dooglus> matthew_: I wanted the mv docs to find the address for reporting bugs
[06:51] <Popof> does anyone know how to do in order to have always the same mount point for each partition of my usb disk ? beacause the partitions are on disk-1 or disk but never the same data on the same place
[06:51] <GNine> i feel so much more integrated with my puter now.  granted it takes some more reading and research than standard windows problem solving .. but not nearly as exciting
[06:51] <matthew_> that's cool
[06:52] <matthew_> GNine my friends make fun of me because I don't know how to use windows :|
[06:52] <soothsayer> alesan: Sounds like a bad idea. I don't think it will send HUP signals to all the applications
[06:52] <loswillios> Aren: thanks. should I delete etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd as a workaround?
[06:52] <lutz_> #fixtv
[06:52] <soothsayer> alesan: What are you trying to do?
[06:53] <Aren> loswillios, http://www.webhostingtalk.com/archive/index.php/t-618209.html
[06:53] <Aren> loswillios, that archived forum discusses some workarounds I think
[06:53] <alesan> soothsayer, in this script I change gdm config to enable Xdmcp. I need to restart gdm for this. before I restart it I would like to logout the user in a graceful manner
[06:53] <matthew_> 1118 people in here holy crap
[06:53] <soothsayer> alesan: I'm sure there is a way to execute a logout from gnome but I'm not sure what it is
[06:53] <PriceChild> !offtopic | matthew_
[06:53] <ubotu> matthew_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:53] <zirra-meeting> Ok, I'm back.
[06:54] <zirra-meeting> Arafangion: My X still isn't starting up now.
[06:54] <myriadar> anyone knows a solution for me not having a microphone with feisty fawn (ibm notebook)
[06:54] <soothsayer> alesan: Ah. I don't know. I think your best bet is #gnome
[06:54] <Aren> myriadar, check your mixer
[06:54] <GNine> i say.. if u know windows  u dont know much.. unix based systems is where u turn from email reader to computer user
[06:54] <Aren> see if the microphone is muted
[06:54] <alesan> soothsayer, thanks :)
[06:55] <rockets> Is torrentflux dead?
[06:55] <bruenig> buy one
[06:56] <bruenig> GNine, some would insert ubuntu where you put windows
[06:56] <loswillios> Aren: that works, thanks! unfortunately my printer still doesn't work
[06:56] <Aren> loswillios, haha oh well, back to troubleshooting
[06:56] <GNine> thats cuz they dont know
[06:56] <myriadar> at sound preferences everything looks fine, aren
[06:57] <Aren> myriadar, I'm going to assume that you're using Alsa
[06:57] <Aren> can you open up a terminal window
[06:57] <myriadar> yes
[06:57] <myriadar> yes2
[06:57] <Aren> sudo alsamixer
[06:57] <bruenig> GNine, have you used other distros?
[06:57] <Aren> myriadar, you should see lots of coloured bars being shown
[06:57] <loswillios> Aren: maybe you can give me a hint: it worked with 7.04, then I dist-upgraded to 7.10 and it stopped working. I reverted the {cups,gutenprint}-stuff back to previous versions. Doesn't work either
[06:57] <myriadar> mic has an empty bar with MM, aren
[06:57] <daren> Hi
[06:58] <GNine> windows , for years .. now feisty .. since couple of days ago.  full switch too
[06:58] <Aren> myriadar, MM means muted
[06:58] <daren> how can I unload a module ?
[06:58] <Aren> myriadar, press M to unmute
[06:58] <Aren> loswillios, honestly I'm not too sure what's going on
[06:58] <myriadar> with pressing "m" i can mute master, aren
[06:58] <myriadar> aww moment
[06:58] <Aren> myriadar, make sure you've got the microphone selected first
[06:59] <loswillios> Aren: When I sent a job to the Brother HL-2030, it get's noisy and some LEDs are lighter but doesn't print anything. :/
[06:59] <myriadar> <-- jerk ^^
[06:59] <loswillios> Aren: thanks for your help anyways
[06:59] <Aren> loswillios, no worries, I"m actually trying to get network printing happening here
[06:59] <Aren> the jobs get sent, but not processed
[06:59] <myriadar> thx, aren, how do i close alsamixer?
[06:59] <loswillios> Aren: yeah
[06:59] <Aren> myriadar, press escape
[06:59] <Stormx2> How do I extract a .tar.bz2 from command line?
[07:00] <Aren> tar jxvf *.tar.bz2
[07:00] <Aren> just replace the * with the filename
[07:00] <jrib> Stormx2: tar xf  is enough
[07:00] <loswillios> Aren: is there a way of cleanly downgrading the system to 7.06? I guess not?
[07:00] <Aren> jrib, it's a bz2 though, you need the J
[07:00] <loswillios> err, 7.04
[07:00] <shira> hi, I get a message "The CUPS server could not be contacted" when I try to open Systems->Printer. How would I start the CUPS deamon?
[07:00] <Aren> loswillios, probably not
[07:01] <Aren> shira, at the console/terminal
[07:01] <southafrikanse> hello does anyone know how to remove the default key management?
[07:01] <Aren> type /etc/init.d/cupsd start
[07:01] <zirra-meeting> Sigh.  Can anyone help me fix X on my laptop?  I can't get it working again.
[07:01] <Aren> shira, make sure you do it either as root, or sudo it
[07:01] <Aren> zirra-meeting, what's happened to your X??
[07:02] <shira> "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd start" gets "command not found"
[07:02] <GNine> my nvidia card performs way better on ubuntu that it did on windows
[07:02] <shira> it usually works..
[07:02] <shira> not the command, printing itself
[07:02] <maxagaz> What is the more stable tool to upload 5163 files and 32 MB od datas over the internet ?
[07:02] <Aren> shira, strange
[07:02] <maxagaz> s/od/of
[07:02] <Aren> shira, did you change the cups configuration?
[07:02] <faileas> maxagaz: rsync?
[07:02] <bulmer> shira: well look at /etc/init.d/  and see if there is that cupsd
[07:02] <smithers> just downloaded the firefox 2 and i can't get it to install because dapper says that its already has the latest version. should i uninstall?
[07:02] <shira> not manually
[07:02] <zirra-meeting> Aren: It tells me it Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module, and that screens were found but none are usable.
[07:02] <Aren> it might now be starting up because of an error in the config file
[07:03] <Aren> zirra-meeting, reinstall the nvidia drivers
[07:03] <maxagaz> faileas: ok, i'll try it
[07:03] <Aren> might not be starting*
[07:03] <GNine> perform a glx install there
[07:03] <GNine> and enable
[07:03] <shira> Aren, there is cupsys
[07:03] <zirra-meeting> I'll try that now.
[07:03] <Aren> I've never used it =S
[07:03] <shira> Aren, and only cupsys, cupd doesn't exist
[07:03] <Aren> shira, thats very strange
[07:04] <shira> let me try a reboot
[07:04] <southafrikanse> what is key management when I start Ubuntu?
[07:04] <bulmer> shira then its cupsys not cupsd.. so do  /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[07:05] <loswillios> no error logs :/
[07:05] <myriadar> ok, now mic works in that way that i can hear myself in my headset
[07:05] <Aren> southafrikanse, what do you mean by key management?
[07:05] <shadowhywind> does anyone know what the nosmp boot option does
[07:05] <Aren> shadowhywind, disables the use of SMP
[07:05] <MasterShrek> shadowhywind, so the kernel doesnt load smp support
[07:05] <Aren> SMP meaning either hyperthreading or dual core etc
[07:05] <sahil> anyone know why my gaim wont connect to my MSN account anymore?
[07:05] <smithers> how would i go about installing the latest version of firefox?
[07:05] <maxagaz> faileas: does it work with ftp ?
[07:05] <GNine> Zirra: also i suggest u make sure ur pci bus id is correctly stated
[07:06] <MasterShrek> smp = symmetric multi-core processing (dual-core)
[07:06] <faileas> maxagaz: no
[07:06] <faileas> its a seperate protocol
[07:06] <shadowhywind> dang
[07:06] <Harkins> smithers: Run synaptic, click 'Mark All Upgrades', click 'Apply'. Wait a while for it install new versions of everything.
[07:06] <shadowhywind> MasterShrek i am trying to get hibernation to work, and it only seams to work when i add the nosmp option
[07:07] <MasterShrek> strange shadowhywind, do you have a dual-core processor?
[07:07] <shadowhywind> MasterShrek yes
[07:07] <zirra-meeting> reinstalling it worked.
[07:07] <zirra-meeting> odd.
[07:07] <Harkins> Is it possible to install Ubuntu to a loopback-mounted filesystem on a running Ubuntu machine? All the directions I find start "Boot the install CD..."
[07:07] <southafrikanse> Aren: When I start Ubuntu. I log in to my session. Then, for me to access the Internet I have to put a default key because my wireless device is restricted. How can I remove this window from starting?
[07:07] <Aren> zirra-meeting, you probably recently upgraded your kernel
[07:07] <myriadar> ok, now mic works in that way that i can hear myself in my headset <-- any hints? sorry for my problem ;(
[07:08] <myriadar> in teamspeak2 with oss chosen as input device it doesnt work
[07:08] <smithers> Harkins: well i just did that but it just reinstalled ver 1.5, i downloaded ver 2 from the firefox site but when i uninstalled and tried to install from the page i downloaded it went back and reinstalled 1.5. i use the command sudo apt-get install firefox and firefox.tar.gz
[07:08] <nikron> How do you disable directory listing in apache2?
[07:08] <palintheus> southafrikanse: I found a link to fix this a week or 2 ago, give me second and Ill try to find it
[07:08] <MasterShrek> i dunno shadowhywind, never use hibernate
[07:08] <southafrikanse> palintheus: Ok
[07:08] <Harkins> smithers: This is an older install of Ubuntu, then?
[07:08] <Symmetria> hrm, anyone got any good hints on finding X windows mode lines?
[07:09] <zirra-meeting> Aren: nope.
[07:09] <zirra-meeting> Haven't upgraded anything...
[07:09] <zirra-meeting> except the alsa drivers.
[07:09] <smithers> Harkins: Oh yeah, dapper is I'm using
[07:09] <Aren> zirra-meeting, very strange indeed
[07:10] <GNine> shadow: cant u just use lock-screen with a password protected screen saver?
[07:10] <Harkins> smithers: Run 'update-manager -c' to get up to the current version of Ubuntu. This will take probably 1-2h to download and install all the updates.
[07:10] <maxagaz> What is the most stable tool to upload 5163 files and 32 MB of datas on an unstable FTP server ? Knowing that Filezilla, FireFTP and yafc can't do the job...
[07:10] <myriadar> sigh, so i use winxp for teamspeak.. it's just too complicated getting this work :/
[07:11] <Harkins> maxagaz: rsync is the right tool for that job, if you have ssh access as well
[07:11] <maxagaz> Harkins: i don't
[07:11] <smithers> Harkins: Will it try and update me to ver 7 or something other?
[07:11] <bjron> anyone know if it's possible to eject the live CD once you've booted from it (without shutting down of course)
[07:11] <Harkins> smithers: Yes
[07:11] <GNine> in general i think windows is more gamer friendly for all the support for it.  oh well
[07:12] <palintheus> southafrikanse: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/
[07:12] <Harkins> bjron: The install will read a lot of packages from the CD, so you'll need to keep it in.
[07:12] <Trae> wow....  I tried man X  and it wasn't present.
[07:12] <Harkins> bjorn: Oh, live cd. Got me.
[07:12] <Harkins> Trae: man xorg
[07:12] <Aren> it's a captial X
[07:12] <southafrikanse> thank you palintheus. I'll give a shot
[07:12] <Aren> org
[07:12] <Aren> lol
[07:12] <bjron> Harkins: yea I only have one drive though and I want to burn a CD :P
[07:12] <Aren> Xorg
[07:12] <palintheus> southafrikanse: it worked for me
[07:12] <Harkins> bjron: give it a shot
[07:12] <myriadar> i mean i'm impressed how ubuntu improved in things like wlan and external usb-drives
[07:13] <palintheus> southafrikanse: only thing is your keyring and login password have to be the same
[07:13] <bjron> well, can't just press the eject button ...
[07:13] <Trae> I liked the old XFree86 description of what X was
[07:13] <smithers> Harkins: I rather stick with Dapper until I learn how to fully use it and then I'll make the transition to upgrade. But I believe I figured out what was going on. Its a tar.gz file and I was installing it incorrectly, I believe I found the right method, I think. We will see.
[07:13] <MasterShrek> bjron, i think there may be a kernel parameter you can pass before you boot the livecd
[07:13] <ismell> ello
[07:13] <myriadar> but on areas like tv-capture and audio-stuff it's not very userfriendly
[07:13] <myriadar> thanks for help anyway :) cu
[07:14] <bjron> MasterShrek: any idea what that might be?
[07:14] <MasterShrek> ill find out for ya
[07:14] <Harkins> smithers: That may or may not work without the supporting packages. You'd do well to upgrade soon for many reasons, including security.
[07:15] <southafrikanse> palintheus: Oh
[07:15] <smithers> Harkins: Thanks
[07:15] <southafrikanse> palintheus: Then I'll have to reset it xD
[07:15] <palintheus> southafrikanse: I did to, but to me it was worth to not have to enter 2 passwords on loging
[07:16] <palintheus> *login
[07:16] <southafrikanse> palintheus: that it is what I want
[07:16] <MasterShrek> bjron, maybe not, im pretty sure it was possible, maybe on a gentoo livecd or something though
[07:17] <MasterShrek> it was 'toram' or something, loaded the os into the ram to free up the drive i think
[07:17] <thepat20> can someone help me install Java?
[07:17] <MasterShrek> !java | thepat20
[07:17] <ubotu> thepat20: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[07:17] <eifzon> How do I change my fonts in gnome?
[07:17] <ctothej> I'm looking for a way to have seemless encryption of a logical volume for data. What is the best way to achieve this?
[07:17] <MasterShrek> eifzon, system>preferences>font
[07:17] <Harkins> eifzon: run gnome-control-center
[07:18] <bjron> MasterShrek: yea, diggint through launchpad it looks like any way I force things to eject will break the system... I'll keep digging for that kernel param
[07:18] <thepat20> MasterShrek i tried that, but i am confused, and the instructions did not match. I am doing something wrong but i dont know what it is
[07:19] <eifzon> and how do i install fonts?
[07:19] <MasterShrek> !fonts | eifzon
[07:19] <ubotu> eifzon: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[07:19] <southafrikanse> palintheus: how can I edit this file? Edit the /etc/pam.d/gdm
[07:20] <southafrikanse> from the terminal?
[07:20] <dinamizador> ola
[07:20] <MasterShrek> sudo nano /path/to/file
[07:20] <palintheus> southafrikanse: gksudo gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm
[07:20] <MasterShrek> southafrikanse, be careful though
[07:20] <MasterShrek> dont do anything if you dont know what its going to do
[07:20] <zirra-meeting> Anyone have any experience with an HP Pavilion and getting sound to work on ubuntu?  I've followed the directions I can find on the web but it doesnt seem to be working still.
[07:20] <speaker219> Does anyone know if it's possible to run a WindowsXP system that is already installed on another partition inside of linux in a virtual machine?
[07:20] <ismell> what package would i install to get the strings command ?
[07:20] <southafrikanse> MasterShrek: due?
[07:21] <MasterShrek> ?
[07:21] <speaker219> Is it possible?
[07:21] <MasterShrek> i believe so speaker219
[07:21] <speaker219> how?
[07:21] <MasterShrek> heh
[07:21] <MasterShrek> vmware i spose
[07:21] <eifzon> I put my new fonts into my fonts map but cant see em there
[07:21] <speaker219> yes but how do i get it to boot the partiton i already have
[07:22] <MasterShrek> add a virtual hard drive as a physical partition
[07:22] <speaker219> ok, thanks (noob = me) let me go try it
[07:22] <MasterShrek> you run the risk of messing up your windows install speaker219
[07:22] <Ecalix> anybody know why in ubuntu you cant open a file from a network share directly. example would be double clicking a .psd file to open in gimp.
[07:23] <southafrikanse> palintheus: I'm going to reboot to see if it works...
[07:23] <speaker219> I do, mastershrek? how?
[07:23] <palintheus> southafrikanse: it should if you followed the directions
[07:23] <MasterShrek> i dunno, theres always that chance though, that windows partition was not made to boot that way
[07:24] <owndarwin> Hi
[07:24] <owndarwin> Here iaam
[07:24] <owndarwin> :D
[07:24] <MasterShrek> im just saying, if it screws it up, dont cry to me about it =P
[07:24] <smithers> how do i install tar.gz files?
[07:24] <Aren> smithers, you don't
[07:24] <Aren> they're usually source files
[07:25] <Aren> smithers try this
[07:25] <Aren> tar zxf filename.tar.gz
[07:25] <Aren> it will extract the tarball
[07:26] <Aren> then cd into the tarball and see if it has a Makefile or a configure file
[07:26] <Aren> if it's got a configure file, do a ./configure
[07:26] <Aren> then "make"
[07:27] <Aren> and if you're lucky, a "make install" will put whatever you're trying to install into the right place
[07:27] <Aren> if you only have a Makefile in the directory
[07:27] <Aren> try typing "make"
[07:27] <southafrikanse> palintheus: It worked xD. Thanks for the info
[07:27] <Aren> if you're lucky, it will just compile, then you can "make install"
[07:27] <smithers> i don't believe i have a ./configure file but let me check
[07:27] <choudesh> Question - Is there any implementation of a "terminal server" for linux...basicly - I want X people to connect to this machine and each get there own GUI. VNC doesn't work since I don't want to specify which port they get
[07:27] <Aren> sometimes it will just spit out instructions on how to complete the installation
[07:27] <lokkilololo> hi ppl. I have a problem with the acx111 driver in ubuntu 7.04. It's supposed to be working by default if u disable networkmanager. But my problem is with the firmware loading, when i try modprobe acx in dmesg aoutput says: [  216.632000]  requesting firmware image 'tiacx111cFF' [  216.744000]  acx: firmware image 'tiacx111cFF' was not provided. Check your hotplug scripts [  216.744000]  requesting firmware image 'tiacx111' [  216.748000]  acx
[07:27] <Aren> smithers, best bet is to take a look at the README, or INSTALL file included in the tarball archive
[07:28] <palintheus> southafrikanse: np, glad to help
[07:28] <afief> shouldn't RECOVERY MODE ask for a password before giving me root access to the machine?!
[07:28] <_WS_> why should it?
[07:28] <PriceChild> afief, if someone has physical access to your machine, they can get root regardless
[07:29] <smithers> cd aren thanks
[07:29] <PriceChild> afief, unless you encrypt your entire partitions
[07:29] <smithers> aren thanks
[07:29] <_WS_> the root environment from recovery disc just utilizes the hardware attached
[07:29] <_WS_> yeah
[07:29] <Aren> smithers, no worries
[07:29] <afief> PriceChild, I know my little brothers can't
[07:29] <bulmer> choudesh: you have to install LTSP
[07:29] <PriceChild> afief, add a grub password or something?
[07:30] <choudesh> bulmer, does this work? I thought LTSP was only for thinclients to boot from
[07:30] <afief> PriceChild, but they got accounts on this machine which they should be able to access
[07:30] <_WS_> why shouldn't they be able to access them?
[07:30] <choudesh> bulmer, I need them to be able to use Window's remote desktop so I need an RDP implmenation on top of this
[07:30] <PriceChild> afief, grub password only stops you changing boot... it will go into first choice automatically without the pass
[07:30] <_WS_> if you have physical access to something that is not encrypted, then why shouldn't you be able to?
[07:31] <bulmer> choudesh: well windows is different, you need a license for that
[07:31] <apocalypti> how do i install tarballs?
[07:31] <choudesh> bulmer, ?
[07:31] <PriceChild> !compile | apocalypti
[07:31] <ubotu> apocalypti: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[07:31] <PriceChild> apocalypti, and you shouldn't have to
[07:31] <_WS_> first you have to clean the tar off, then you can use them :)
[07:31] <afief> _WS_, the obvious reason: not everybody is a computer geek who will boot into a liveCD, mount the partitions and change stuff, but my brothers sure did see "sudo apt-get install" often enough by now
[07:31] <bulmer> choudesh: rdp is for windows not for linux( uses tcp/ip)
[07:31] <choudesh> bulmer, I understand
[07:32] <lokkilololo> hi ppl. I have a problem with the acx111 driver in ubuntu 7.04. It's supposed to be working by default if u disable networkmanager. But my problem is with the firmware loading, when i try modprobe acx in dmesg aoutput says: [  216.632000]  requesting firmware image 'tiacx111cFF' [  216.744000]  acx: firmware image 'tiacx111cFF' was not provided. Check your hotplug scripts [  216.744000]  requesting firmware image 'tiacx111' [  216.748000]  acx
[07:32] <choudesh> bulmer, I still need a way for Windows clients to connect to a linux box and they each have their own GUI
[07:32] <_WS_> afief, what if your system crashed and you needed to get into accounts, and didn't remember your old passwords?
[07:32] <_WS_> physical access to machines is meant to be utilized that way
[07:32] <bulmer> choudesh in that case, there are plenty of X windows client to be used in windoz one is Freenx to access Xwindow of linux
[07:32] <_WS_> recovery is just a different user environment that allows you full access to your hardware
[07:33] <Jordan_U> afief, Set a BIOS and / or GRUB password
[07:33] <choudesh> bullgard4, I understand that - but I need them to each have their own GUI without predefining them.
[07:33] <afief> _WS_, isn't the point of Linux "we won't keep you from doing stupid things like rm -rf /"?
[07:34] <Jordan_U> afief, Or if all you are worried about is your brother, just remove the recovery mode option at boot
[07:34] <_WS_> no
[07:34] <bulmer> choudesh: each user that wants to log on to linux has its own user account
[07:34] <_WS_> the point of linux is you have the power to customize anything in any way you want
[07:34] <PriceChild> afief, please don't paste commands like that in here
[07:34] <bullgard4> choudesh: Did you mean me?
[07:34] <bulmer> afief: you cant do that unless you are root
[07:34] <choudesh> bullgard4, sorry. I meant bulmer
[07:34] <choudesh> bulmer, Yes. I pull these from LDAP.
[07:34] <svamp23> hi need help with an USB device
[07:35] <afief> bulmer, okay replace / with ~, still devastating effect for that user
[07:35] <Ecalix> anybody know why in ubuntu you cant open a file from a network share directly. example would be double clicking a .psd file to open in gimp.
[07:35] <bulmer> choudesh: you're throwing words around ...
[07:35] <svamp23> dmesg says that the device is connected to ttyUSB0 and then that it is disconnected from ttyUSB0 ? what is wrong?
[07:36] <speaker219> ubotu
[07:36] <svamp23> i get this output between the connection and disconnection -- usbfs: interface 0 claimed by ftdi_sio while 'brltty' sets config #1

[07:37] <lokkilololo> am i spamming? sry for that...
[07:37] <Aren> lokkilololo, seems like you haven't provided the firmware image for it lol
[07:37] <lokkilololo> Aren ;)
[07:37] <Jordan_U> lokkilololo, If it is like broadcom cards you need to get the firmware and put it in /lib/firmware
[07:38] <nilsgodecke> hi everybody
[07:38] <GNine> aren: u genius.. mind telling him the how to
[07:38] <claus> hi nils
[07:38] <lokkilololo> the firmware is there but the driver dosent seem to see it
[07:38] <nilsgodecke> hi claus
[07:38] <_WS_> linux is just a kernel, other projects such as sudo limit restrictions, and other projects even do encryption such as openssl
[07:38] <_WS_> but it doesn't just do everything automatically for you
[07:39] <Aren> GNine, got no idea where the how-to's are
[07:39] <kefka> !virtualbox
[07:39] <_WS_> encryption slows down a system, so your system is not automatically encrypting everything for you
[07:39] <Sunnyboi14> Hello Everyone!
[07:39] <lokkilololo> the firmware and the driver gets installed with linux-restricted-modules
[07:39] <_WS_> if you want to disable access to things you will have to customize it yourself
[07:39] <kefka> !vmware
[07:39] <nilsgodecke> is here annybody who can help me whit some networking problems?
[07:39] <_WS_> there are some kits that help you with them
[07:39] <_WS_> for shell hosting companies etc.
[07:39] <lokkilololo> so i dont have to mess with this i think
[07:39] <kefka> meh... ubotu hates me
[07:39] <rafael_> opa

[07:39] <kefka> -heh
[07:39] <Jordan_U> lokkilololo, Are you sure that the firmware is included in linux-restricted-modules?
[07:40] <rafael_> :)
[07:40] <kefka> !virtualbox
[07:40] <rafael_> agora sim
[07:40] <bulmer> lokkilololo: do you have a  /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/acx/default  directory?

[07:41] <kefka> ubotu had to restart?
[07:41] <Sunnyboi14> is there a command is ubuntu that restores my pc to factory settings?

[07:41] <Sunnyboi14> what?
[07:41] <Alloosh> DVD drive, when I insert a dvd I see the icon on the desktop and its fine, with others I dont get even get the icon
[07:41] <Jordan_U> Sunnyboi14, If you want to go back to windows just install windows with a windows install CD
[07:41] <lufis> Sunnyboi14: windows and linux are two different platforms, one does not affect the other
[07:41] <Sunnyboi14> there is an error.
[07:41] <palintheus> Sunnyboi14: if grub was installed it more than likely replaced the dell boot loader
[07:42] <paotzu> alloosh: data dvds or video dvds
[07:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about had to restart? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:42] <Sunnyboi14> yes
[07:42] <Sunnyboi14> it did
[07:42] <Aren> Sunnyboi14, that control F11 only works if you still have the recovery partition on the drive methinks
[07:42] <Alloosh> data and video.
[07:42] <Sunnyboi14> how do i get it to boot again?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> Sunnyboi14, Do you have a windows install CD?
[07:42] <Sunnyboi14> yes
[07:42] <lufis> Alloosh: No, what brand/model of drive?
[07:42] <paotzu> alloosh: weird
[07:42] <Sunnyboi14> i tried that
[07:42] <zirra-meeting> OK, my usb mouse is kind of odd in X... for some reason it seems a little... laggy.  Like if I try and select text, it selects a few lines below where I started when I click and drag down.
[07:42] <Sunnyboi14> but it didnt work
[07:42] <Aren> Sunnyboi14, what was the error?
[07:42] <Alloosh> LG
[07:42] <Jordan_U> Sunnyboi14, Boot from it, go to recovery mode, run fixmbr
[07:42] <Sunnyboi14> said it couldnt find hard disks or something
[07:42] <lokkilololo> the acx directory in /lib/firmware/`uname -r` includes diferent firmware versions, and the default one is the one used in the default directory witch is smlinked to the correct <IP_ADDRESS> firmware directory
[07:42] <lufis> Alloosh: are you sure it's not the hardware?
[07:42] <yeniklasor> How can I learn my IP from terminal ?
[07:42] <nilsgodecke> i have a old ciso wlan card that can not connect to the internet trough my accespoint, the card is recognised by ubuntu and can see the accespoint. i have removed the every securety from the accespoint, but it looks like that the card can't connect to the accespoint.
[07:42] <Stev> Sunnyboi14: you're not "restoring" anything, if you want windows just install it back, if you have a laptop then you might have a rescue partition, with some software to restore an image of your hd
[07:43] <snowy> my terminal stopped working all together and i dont know the cause of it >.<
[07:43] <Aren> Sunnyboi14, make sure to remove the partitions of linux using the ubuntu installer before trying to go back to windows
[07:43] <Mishu> I have a script file for starting asterisk callback-demon in /etc/init.d But it doesn't executes one my pc reboot also i need to run it using ./nameofile, i can't run it just like nameoffile. What i need to do?
[07:43] <Sunnyboi14> when i click on recovery mode, the error comes up
[07:43] <lokkilololo> i am trully confused
[07:43] <Alloosh> Iam 100% sure, because it plays some and not play others
[07:43] <svamp23> is this a bug in UBUNTU -- usbfs: interface 0 claimed by ftdi_sio while 'brltty' sets config #1 -- it connects and disconnets a USB device ?
[07:43] <lufis> yeniklasor: ifconfig
[07:43] <Aren> the Windows install disk can't read harddisks that have been partitioned by linux sometimes
[07:43] <Jordan_U> Sunnyboi14, That is not caused by Ubuntu, that is a hardware problem or a bug in windows
[07:43] <Sunnyboi14> even though i installed it on an external HD?
[07:43] <Sunnyboi14> i already got everything off my External Hard drive
[07:43] <paotzu> sunnyboi14: what problems are you having in ubuntu that you want to wipe the drive
[07:43] <GNine> sunny: there r 2 ways of gettin rid of ubuntu. delete the partition its in. or reinstall.  but be careful how u go about that
[07:43] <directLink> yeniklasor: ifconfig, and then you see the ip of the different network devices
[07:43] <Sunnyboi14> it is stupid
[07:43] <boris_> i got ubuntu feisty and i get error "The Composite extension is not available." error when i try to start Desktop Effects feature
[07:43] <Sunnyboi14> i just want to go back to windows
[07:44] <snowy> same here =\
[07:44] <boris_> desktop effects were working 2 days ago
[07:44] <paotzu> this channel is not really for installing windows
[07:44] <snowy> every since i tried to install the eye toy webcam ubuntu has been messing up
[07:44] <Nem> Does anyone know how to see if a freenode Nick has been inactive for X number of days?
[07:44] <Sunnyboi14> i know
[07:44] <Jordan_U> Sunnyboi14, Again, this is a bug in the windows installer, not with Ubuntu, you might try ##windows

[07:45] <zirra-meeting> OK, my usb mouse is kind of odd in X... for some reason it seems a little... laggy.  Like if I try and select text, it selects a few lines below where I started when I click and drag down.  Can anyone tell me how to fix it?
[07:45] <directLink> yeniklasor: goto whatismyip.com
[07:45] <bulmer> lokkilololo: there are several there..can you paste the dir contents on pastebin?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> yeniklasor, ifconfig
[07:46] <shut-> why does ubuntu lag for me
[07:46] <lokkilololo> bulmer am not used to pastebin can i post them here (dirs only not to long) ?
[07:46] <lufis> yeniklasor: ping will show you websites' servers' ip

[07:46] <Jordan_U> yeniklasor, ifconfig
[07:46] <shut-> ATI?
[07:46] <lufis> yeniklasor: Then use ifconfig...
[07:46] <bulmer> lokkilololo: they'll ban you if you paste too long in this channel
[07:47] <bulmer> lokkilololo: get used to using pastebin
[07:47] <alexandre_> can someone help me i'm new to linux and i want to install java to access a website but the file is a .bin and i haven't been able to uncompress it
[07:47] <GNine> can someone tell zirra how to check his mouse config settings

[07:47] <GNine> heheh
[07:47] <directLink> yeniklasor: maybe use wgetto download whatismyip.com, and then use nano to see html code...?
[07:47] <lufis> alexandre_: What version of ubuntu?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> alexandre_, Just install it with Add/Remove instead
[07:47] <bulmer> lokkilololo: that makes it hard for me to read..use a pastebin
[07:47] <shut-> alex
[07:47] <alexandre_> 7.04
[07:47] <lokkilololo> bulmer ok
[07:47] <Alloosh> going to the store to give them a speech about the drive
[07:48] <shut-> do /dirtojava/file.bin
[07:48] <lufis> alexandre_: Go to Applications > Add/Remove
[07:48] <snowy> =\ still no one has awnsered my question on the boards... its been 14 hours lol
[07:48] <shut-> :S
[07:48] <zirra-meeting> Actually the USB mouse isn't jumpy, it just doesn't seem to register left click and drags in firefox.  (and possibly elsewhere).
[07:49] <Jordan_U> shut-, Most people who ask questions like that don't know that there is a package in the repos, and installing from the repos is usually a better idea
[07:49] <lufis> alexandre_: There yet?
[07:49] <alexandre_> yes
[07:49] <lokkilololo> bulmer http://pastebin.com/d73ae7c77
[07:49] <lufis> alexandre_: Ok, at the top select "All available applications"
[07:49] <alexandre_> ok
[07:49] <lufis> alexandre_: Then type java in the search bar
[07:49] <bulmer> lokkilololo: use ls -la please so i can see the symlinks
[07:50] <PaulEU> hello!
[07:50] <PaulEU> where is configuration file for xterm terminal ?
[07:51] <lufis> alexandre_: There?
[07:51] <PaulEU> I'd like to change default font
[07:51] <alexandre_> yes this is downloading
[07:51] <lufis> ok
[07:51] <svamp23> how do i update kernel in ubuntu
[07:51] <shut-> what is this GTI thing?
[07:51] <lokkilololo> bulmer http://pastebin.com/d70927895
[07:51] <snowy> for some reason my ubuntu pretty much locked me out...
[07:51] <PaulEU> I must always click CTRL + right click mouse button on xterm and select font medium
[07:51] <snowy> the terminal stops working when i attempt to sudo
[07:51] <lokkilololo> bulmer but the symlinks are inside default directory
[07:52] <snowy> everything under system just disappeared
[07:52] <alexandre_> but just for general knowledge how do you extract a bin file
[07:52] <PriceChild> svamp23, you'll be notified about security updates by the software updater.
[07:52] <PaulEU> who anybody know? ;)
[07:52] <lufis> alexandre_: Generally, software in linux isn't installed by downloading from websites. You can search for software in Ubuntu's repositories, which ensures you are getting quality, stable, unmalicious software
[07:52] <snowy> and i cant burn the newest version of ubuntu to disc D:
[07:52] <bulmer> lokkilololo: then paste the inside of default dir
[07:52] <snowy> i keep getting errors
[07:52] <alexandre_> i have tried chmod +x file
[07:52] <shut-> anyone no why my linux lags?
[07:52] <bulmer> PaulEU:  cat /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm
[07:52] <alexandre_> but it hast'n extract the rpm
[07:52] <lufis> alexandre_: Well, you could install it from the website, but this method is much easier
[07:53] <Jordan_U> shut-, What GFX card do you have?
[07:53] <alexandre_> ok
[07:53] <lufis> So don't worry about the RPM, it doesn't work with Ubuntu anyway :)
[07:53] <Jordan_U> alexandre_, Ubuntu does not use RPM
[07:53] <shut-> Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller (Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller)
[07:53] <alexandre_> ok lol
[07:53] <qetuR> help, half my Ubuntu is in Swedish and half in English, i want all in Swedish
[07:53] <j_ack> snowy, which version of ubuntu you use?
[07:53] <alexandre_> i could have lost some time on it so
[07:53] <shut-> but u can make it a deb

[07:54] <lokkilololo> bulmer http://pastebin.com/m15c10fb5
[07:54] <qetuR> please have a look
[07:54] <bulmer> alexandre_: however if you use alien, you can convert an rpm to deb packaging
[07:54] <shut-> by installing alien
[07:54] <Jordan_U> shut-, Can you pastebin the output of "glxinfo" ?
[07:54] <PaulEU> bulmer: I must edit this file ? :/
[07:54] <shut-> ?
[07:54] <shut-> what that
[07:54] <Jordan_U> !rpm
[07:54] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[07:54] <shut-> Jordan
[07:54] <alexandre_> ubuntu is a version of debian
[07:54] <alexandre_> ?
[07:54] <shut-> yes
[07:54] <shut-> but they keep it more uptodate
[07:54] <alexandre_> ok
[07:55] <ahmadsaifan> does thunderbird work with hotmail accounts?
[07:55] <Pici> !debian | alexandre_
[07:55] <ubotu> alexandre_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[07:55] <shut-> doubt it
[07:55] <sSiroSoriSs> you cant do that!
[07:55] <sSiroSoriSs> I'm not an American citizen!
[07:55] <lufis> qetuR: Have you been to System > administration > language support?
[07:55] <Jordan_U> ahmadsaifan, If hotmail supports pop like most mail accounts do then yes, if not I don't know
[07:55] <bulmer> PaulEU: i dont know what you want to do
[07:55] <shut-> Jordan_U:Can you pastebin the output of "glxinfo" ?? whats that
[07:55] <ahmadsaifan> Jordan, do you know how to set up it then?
[07:55] <alexandre_> so when i want to install a software i need to go to add/remove
[07:56] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | shut-
[07:56] <ubotu> shut-: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:56] <shut-> i no what that is
[07:56] <Pici> alexandre_: Or you can use apt if you're more comfortable with that.
[07:56] <PaulEU> bulmer: when I run command $ xterm I'd like that default font was bigger than default
[07:56] <lufis> alexandre_: That's the easiest way. Some things aren't in add/remove, for such cases you can go to System > administration > synaptic package manager
[07:56] <bulmer> lokkilololo: I have same dir structure and contents
[07:56] <shut-> i mean the output of glxinfo
[07:56] <shut-> whats that
[07:56] <Jordan_U> shut-, Run "glxinfo" in a terminal and paste the output of it to pastebin
[07:56] <lokkilololo> bulmer so what do u think is the prob?
[07:56] <thavorn> if want to connect to my home samba server , what software to use?
[07:56] <PaulEU> bulmer: I have problem with eyes and I must have big fonts
[07:56] <alexandre_> i already experienced that yesterday
[07:56] <ahmadsaifan> What do i put in as the income server if i want to use hotmail in thunderbird?????????/
[07:56] <bulmer> PaulEU: hang on..let me check..
[07:56] <shut-> i am not on linux
[07:56] <shut-> i am on windows
[07:57] <kefka> !vmware
[07:57] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers

[07:57] <thavorn> if want to connect to my home samba server from office, what gui software to use?
[07:57] <Stev> !virtualizers
[07:57] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications

[08:02] <lufis> qetuR: This isn't windows where you've got to reboot every time you change something
[08:02] <Jordan_U> snowy, Then sudo is not broken, can you name one application that *doesn't* work from the administration menu ?

[08:09] <palintheus> everyone is a volunteer or needs help
[08:09] <unimatrix9> strange question
[08:09] <david00> can anione tell me what anacron is?
[08:09] <boelraty> hey, i cant use sudo in terminal, if i do : sudo something, nothing happen, but if i do something without sudo, it works, how can i solve the problem ?
[08:09] <philthy> palintheus, and most of the time both :P
[08:09] <Jordan_U> shut-, Were you the one who also said that desktop effects didn't work?
[08:09] <ahmadsaifan> Pici, what is the command for beryl to run at start up ?
[08:09] <lufis> david00: it's a scheduler
[08:09] <palintheus> philthy: that describes me ; )
[08:10] <david00> lufis: do i need it?
[08:10] <Pici> ahmadsaifan: I'm sorry, I don't know.
[08:10] <ahmadsaifan> ok
[08:10] <Jordan_U> shut-, Were you the one who also said that desktop effects didn't work?
[08:10] <lufis> david00: well, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to turn it off
[08:10] <unimatrix9> boelraty : are you running as root ( terminal )
[08:10] <shut-> Jorden_u  did you get paste bin link
[08:10] <ahmadsaifan> should i go to #beryl ?
[08:10] <Pici> ahmadsaifan: or #ubuntu-effects
[08:10] <david00> lufis: and atd?
[08:10] <philthy> palintheus, haha, my too. except i can only help with trivial stuff really.
[08:10] <lufis> david00: atd? dunno
[08:10] <snowy> =/
[08:10] <ahmadsaifan> ok, but noone takes at Ubuntu effects
[08:10] <unimatrix9> the command is beryl-manager , for beryl to run
[08:10] <jtshaw> david00: atd is a scheduler as well
[08:10] <unimatrix9> at start up
[08:11] <david00> i shouldnt disable them, right?
[08:11] <ahmadsaifan> are yo usure?
[08:11] <jtshaw> david00: it is the backend that allows the at command to work...
[08:11] <Kouryuu> well you have to start "beryl" first then run "beryl-manager" right?
[08:11] <Jordan_U> shut-, Yes, and desktop-effects should work
[08:11] <jtshaw> david00: I wouldn't... they aren't going to hurt performance or anything
[08:11] <boelraty> unimatrix9 > i launch a simply terminal as usual, but now if i do for example : sudo gedit dfk.conf, nothing happens
[08:12] <david00> just triing to speed up boot time, and if i have a desktop, do i need the acpid and apmd services running?
[08:12] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | boelraty
[08:12] <ahmadsaifan> what is the command for Gaim to run at start up????????
[08:12] <ubotu> boelraty: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[08:12] <philthy> can i uninstall the newest version of the kernel via apt-get without messing anything up?
[08:12] <unimatrix9> boelraty , did you at some time run the command sudo passwd?
[08:12] <Jordan_U> philthy, No
[08:12] <Kouryuu> ahmadsaifan, it's configured within gaim as part of the preferences.. or just run "gaim"
[08:12] <boelraty> unimatrix9 > no
[08:12] <unimatrix9> ok
[08:13] <ahmadsaifan> is it in preferences?
[08:13] <ahmadsaifan> Ill go looks
[08:13] <Jordan_U> philthy, You would need to also downgrade any kernel modules if you want to use an older kernel
[08:13] <philthy> Jordan_U, aw. how would I uninstall it then? (it creates some small bug with my UI)
[08:13] <Kouryuu> iahmadsaifan, if you run the taskbar plugin it is
[08:13] <jtshaw> david00: probably not strictly.. but I can't imagine they have any real impact on startup speed either
[08:13] <Kouryuu> (that's how I have it run at startup)
[08:13] <david00> do you know of some way to speed boot time?
[08:13] <boelraty> unimatrix9> in fact, terminal ask me the password and then nothing, just a new invitation for an other command
[08:13] <ahmadsaifan> what kouryuu?
[08:14] <ahmadsaifan> i cant find it in preferences
[08:14] <Kouryuu> ahmadsaifan, just run the command gaim
[08:14] <ahmadsaifan> is it use last status from exit at startup???
[08:14] <snowy> jordan would this be easiler done via the forums since i could post logs if i could get it to work?
[08:14] <unimatrix9> boelraty , how did you install ubuntu?
[08:14] <unimatrix9> expert install?
[08:14] <ahmadsaifan> i dont want to manually do it eveyrtime i start up
[08:14] <ahmadsaifan> i want it to run on its own
[08:14] <Kouryuu> ahmadsaifan, what desktop are you using? kde? gnome?
[08:14] <ahmadsaifan> gnome
[08:15] <unimatrix9> boelraty, take a read here , see if its the same as your problem http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-146859.html
[08:15] <Jordan_U> philthy, You might be able to simply remove the newest kernel, pin the package and re-install ubuntu-desktop if anything was removed, but I am tired right now and not completely sure
[08:15] <unimatrix9> and if you can solve it with..
[08:15] <spencer28> Hello, I need help with my ubuntu internet connection problems. I have spent time on it and have a number of questions I would love to ask someone more experienced.
[08:15] <Kouryuu> ok, I forget with gnome, but there should be some gnome utility that will "remember last desktop" if you have gaim running and logout of gnome, it'll bring it back
[08:16] <philthy> Jordan_U, haha, I'll just work on fixing my specific problem with the new kernel then. :D thanks
[08:16] <ahmadsaifan> Ok, thanks
[08:16] <ahmadsaifan> Bye
[08:16] <lufis> spencer28: Just ask your question :)
[08:16] <Kouryuu> no prob
[08:16] <Jordan_U> philthy, Are you sure that it is the new kernel which is causing the glitch and have you filed a bug report?
[08:16] <jtshaw> david00: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491
[08:16] <boelraty> unimatrix9 > seems to be the same problem
[08:16] <ahmadsaifan> and noone is talking at ubuntu effects or beryl!!!
[08:16] <ahmadsaifan> where are they
[08:16] <spencer28> when I ping my router, I get no responce
[08:16] <philthy> Jordan_U, No, and no. I'm just pretty sure its the newest kernel. Because it works fine on the old kernel
[08:16] <Kouryuu> ahmadsaifan, heh I still have to fix my totally hosed ati drivers from running beryl ;)
[08:17] <david00> jtshaw: thanks for all the help
[08:17] <ahmadsaifan> lol
[08:17] <unimatrix9> ahmadsaifan  : you can try any command from the terminal to see it work
[08:17] <boelraty> animatrix9> maybe i have change the right for admin
[08:17] <dd2d> I have a question concerning Ubuntu and it's related to Wubi, can I post it here? (newbie)
[08:17] <snowy> wow... dmesg works perfectly fine
[08:17] <unimatrix9> ahmadsaifan  : so gaim is just gaim as you type it, and to add at startup use sessions in gnome
[08:17] <snowy> but when i try to run sudo dmesg is just freeze's
[08:17] <ahmadsaifan> someone just spoke in ubuntu effects, they told me the command
[08:18] <unimatrix9> jeeeeeeeeeeeeH
[08:18] <unimatrix9> :P
[08:18] <Jordan_U> dd2d, Can't hurt, there is also a wubi channel IIRC
[08:18] <ahmadsaifan> but what is the command i put in for gaim?>
[08:18] <unimatrix9> is he blind?
[08:18] <spencer28> Anyone CTC about my ubuntu network problem?
[08:18] <spencer28> PM me
[08:19] <jtshaw> david00: no problem.. hope it helps
[08:19] <dd2d> Thanks, I'll try first here then. I installed it on my E:/ drive (6GB) and get the error NO RAID DISKS
[08:19] <lufis> ahmadsaifan: gaim is simply "gaim"
[08:19] <dd2d> and then udevd-event[2827]
[08:19] <ahmadsaifan> Just gaim?
[08:19] <ahmadsaifan> ok
[08:19] <bulmer> spencer28: here is okay...type this  "ip a"  and tell me what your ip address is and name of your nic
[08:19] <erisco> when I get to the terminal with ctrl+alt+f3 and I try to log in, it says that my login was incorrect...
[08:19] <erisco> however I for sure used the correct username and password
[08:19] <boelraty> animatrix9 > that's happen just after that : sudo usermod -G -a netdev boelraty
[08:20] <spencer28> well right now I am in windows. I wrote down when I was on ubuntu
[08:20] <bulmer> erisco: on the other consoles..you used same login credentials?
[08:20] <Jordan_U> philthy, What is the graphics glitch exactly, and what GFX card?
[08:20] <Toddler> anyone in here actually using multiple desktops ? rotating cube is nice and all but whats the use of having 4 desktops ??

[08:21] <philthy> Jordan_U,  After installing the new kernel, when windows have a pop-up, the pop-up doesn't appear right away, I have to click the taskbar for it to appear. nVidia 7800
[08:21] <erisco> bulmer, I cannot get in on any of them...
[08:21] <lufis> Toddler: More space :)
[08:21] <spencer28> i need my ubuntu to use <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>,
[08:21] <palintheus> Toddler: I use 2 desktops
[08:21] <unimatrix9> Toddler yes i use four
[08:21] <bulmer> erisco: that tells me you dont have the correct credentials
[08:21] <Jordan_U> Toddler, It is very useful for organizing different tasks that I am doing at the same time
[08:21] <erisco> bulmer, I can log in fine though, and I know the root password

[08:21] <politik> I'm trying to use xming to run an X session on my Windows box, and I'm able to log in, but once I log in I only get my desktop background, and gnome doesn't seem to start
[08:22] <bulmer> erisco: how are you exactly logging on on those consoles?
[08:22] <politik> any ideas?
[08:22] <erisco> bulmer, what do you mean? It prompts me for my username... so I type it. Then it prompts me for my password... I type it
[08:22] <Jordan_U> Toddler, It has been in almost all *nix managers for decades ( literally ) and will be added to OSx in the next release, so it's not just a novelty item like many parts of beryl
[08:23] <bruenig> four desktops has a purpose
[08:23] <bulmer> erisco:  are you on a gui now? log out and use same credentials you use in the console..see if you can log in
[08:23] <EJ> \\'elcome ack Jesus

[08:23] <osxdude|laptop> please say os x not osx
[08:23] <osxdude|laptop> thank you

[08:25] <politik> anyone? how can I debug why when I log in to my ubuntu box via xdmcp I can see the gdm login prompt and login, but gnome doesn't start afterwards?
[08:25] <bulmer> spencer28:  who owns that .1? is it another device?
[08:25] <renate> Hi there

[08:25] <Where|here> Hello renate
[08:25] <spencer28> have dlink router
[08:25] <Where|here> renate: Do you have an Intel sound card?
[08:25] <dd2d> Can anyone help me? :)
[08:25] <renate> SB live from creative
[08:25] <erisco> bulmer, which file contains that information? I see access.conf, group.conf, limits.conf, pam_env.conf, time.conf
[08:25] <genii> spencer28: Your router may not be set to answer ICMP requests
[08:25] <Pelo> dd2d,  what with ?
[08:25] <Jordan_U> politik, Does failsafe gnome or failsafe terminal work?
[08:25] <bulmer> spencer28: also prefix your responses with a nic..so it will not be missed
[08:25] <Grandpappi> ineed some help in determining if my madwifi-ng driver patches are working.  can anyone help with some commands?
[08:25] <lufis> renate: changed anything recently?
[08:26] <bulmer> erisco off hand i cant recall..check all of them
[08:26] <renate> yea, created a .asoundrc because the default device was wrong
[08:26] <erisco> bulmer, in all of them everything is commented out
[08:26] <lufis> renate: That may be the problem ;)
[08:26] <renate> contint of the .asoundrc is pcm.!default {       type hw        card 2}
[08:26] <bulmer> erisco:  did I say  /etc/securetty ?
[08:27] <renate> card 2 is the soundcard that i use
[08:27] <lufis> renate: So you have two cards?
[08:27] <renate> there is a onboard one but unused
[08:27] <politik> Jordan_U: sorry, how do I select those when using xdmcp (via xming)? I am able to use the machine fine from a local login
[08:27] <lufis> renate: Do away with the config file and just turn off onboard sound in the bios
[08:27] <erisco> bulmer, yes I assumed you meant /etc/security/
[08:27] <renate> well the system actually recognised 3
[08:27] <spencer28> nic...do u still need what you asked for before?
[08:27] <bulmer> erisco:  did I say  /etc/securetty ?  <-- look carefully

[08:28] <lufis> qetuR: Applications don't get translated I don't think. "Firefox" is "Firefox" in every language
[08:28] <qetuR> yes, firefox
[08:28] <renate> well i don'T think thats the problem lufis , becqause in vlc i set as output device the hw0,2 and it still doesn't output anything
[08:28] <erisco> bulmer, okay I do have it opened now. It seems to just list the standard console names
[08:28] <qetuR> but the panel is still english
[08:28] <Pelo> renate,  dbl click on the volume icon, check in the menu under preference or device and change from oss to alsa
[08:28] <lufis> renate: Did you try disabling it in bios?
[08:29] <politik> hm bizarre... if I turn off xming's clipboard integration, it works fine
[08:29] <bulmer> erisco: also do a  man securetty
[08:29] <isei> !foo
[08:29] <ubotu> bar

[08:29] <shadowhywind> is there a log of what happens at startup?
[08:29] <paotzu> sb live is that one weird chipset, the ev something?
[08:29] <lufis> renate: Try it anyway
[08:29] <Pelo> renate, might need to disalble the onboard one in the bios,
[08:29] <boyam> lol@spencer28
[08:29] <renate> ok i try
[08:30] <renate> cya in 2 min
[08:30] <paotzu> I remember for years that would just crash teh kernel :(
[08:30] <Where|here> At least once a day, the X server crashes and restarts. This sometimes happens when using FireFox and sometimes happens when using Pidgin. I am using the 64-bit version. Does anybody know how I might be able to diagnose this problem?
[08:30] <lufis> paotzu: yeah, i have one sb live card but it shows up as two devices
[08:30] <kefka> I installed vmware server, and get this when trying to run it: /usr/lib/vmware-server/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

[08:31] <Where|here> lufis: feisty
[08:31] <unimatrix9> system / systemlogs?
[08:31] <Pelo> kefka,  how did you install vmware ?
[08:31] <kefka> Pelo: From apt, following the ubuntu wiki guide, including the pam modification

[08:31] <Jordan_U> Where|here, What GFX card?
[08:31] <bulmer> erisco okay..what was it?
[08:32] <erisco> bulmer, I always type all my capitals with the caps lock key... and for some reason the caps lock key doesn't work in that console
[08:32] <Pelo> kefka, if you are running fiesty,  with gnome,  just install it from the add/remove menu , it's easier
[08:32] <erisco> bulmer, so my password was always wrong
[08:32] <Pelo> kefka, and it works
[08:32] <kefka> Pelo: Running a server install
[08:32] <bulmer> erisco: i told yah..credentials were not right
[08:32] <spencer28> Bulmer: i would love if someone could finally solve this problem with me.
[08:32] <Pelo> kefka, I can'T help with that one, maybe the ppl in #vmware can
[08:32] <kefka> Pelo: I'll try cleaning this up and reinstalling the normal way.
[08:32] <orangefly>  can someone help with remote desktop to server 2003....???....
[08:32] <erisco> bulmer, that was my best guess as well but seeing as I for sure was typing it correctly... bah =\
[08:33] <bulmer> spencer28: you can pay me to solve it :)
[08:33] <erisco> bulmer, it doesn't show the password you are typing so I had no idea... until I just accidentally typed my password first
[08:33] <erisco> bulmer, into the username field =\
[08:33] <bulmer> erisco: chuck it as lesson learned
[08:33] <Where|here> Jordan_U: 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS

[08:34] <spencer28> Bulmer: to poor at this time
[08:34] <bobc> is it possible to boot the live-cd to the console instead of the desktop?
[08:34] <erisco> bulmer, at least I don't have to keep restarting all the time when a program goes down now
[08:34] <Where|here> orangefly: *apt-get
[08:34] <bulmer> spencer28: you can always pay and learn as you go along.. hehehe
[08:34] <Where|here> orangefly: Then type rdesktop server
[08:34] <Jordan_U> politik, I don't use XDMCP ( I always just do ssh -X ) so I am not very familiar with it, does it give you a standard GDM like you would get with a local login?

[08:36] <Pelo> renate, you'd have to dig around a lot more then just asking here
[08:36] <Jordan_U> Where|here, Might be a bug in the Nvidia drivers, you might try grabbing the newest ones from nvidia.com *if* you are willing and able to recompile them whenever there is a kernel upgrade
[08:36] <bulmer> spencer28: anyhow..you gathered the info i request of you?
[08:36] <Pelo> renate, you'd probably end up manualy editing config files and such

[08:46] <ahmadsaifan> i have the file on my desktop
[08:46] <genii> Sivik: If you want your own removed, rm ~/.bash_history

[08:48] <betamax_> is it possible to do it in one command, or would i have to do cp /home/user/* /path/to destination

[08:48] <danta> Pici thanx, will do that
[08:48] <bulmer> betamax_: juidicious use of tar and sed and piping will do it..youhave to play around to get it right

[09:02] <DrDabbles> Vspike, I have seen a novell project written in mono that is supposed to allow you to manage several types of SQL server, including MSSQL. I have not, however, tried to compile or run it. There are also no debian packages for it as far as I know

[09:02] <PP188> winnix: gusty?
[09:02] <DrDabbles> fox2mike, do you know what graphics chipset you have? Perhaps an intel built-in chipset?

[09:04] <betamax_> winnix: it's Gutsy Gibbon i believe

[09:07] <DrDabbles> fox2mike, any luck?
[09:07] <fox2mike> DrDabbles: lspci tells me Intel Corp Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller
[09:08] <needhelpnstuff> i just typed fdisk -l its two HDs
[09:08] <Pelo> mrga, ...  can I ask why you change the /var permission to start with ?

[09:08] <Pelo> needhelpnstuff, how much do you know about your computer ?
[09:08] <DrDabbles> fox2mike, Okay, then to get it working you will probably need 915resolution installed
[09:08] <needhelpnstuff> quite a lot
[09:08] <hwilde> anybody use a logitech cordless rumblepad ?
[09:08] <needhelpnstuff> why?
[09:09] <betamax_> efram: yes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3 for more info
[09:09] <efram> betamax_:  thanks
[09:09] <fox2mike> DrDabbles: hrmm, off the livecd?
[09:09] <DrDabbles> fox2mike: That will modify what the video bios reports to X on boot, so it sees the higher resolution as available. Then you'll need to do the typical modify of the xorg.conf file.
[09:09] <DrDabbles> fox2mike: are you running the liveCD, or have you installled ubuntu?
[09:09] <fox2mike> DrDabbles: Livecd
[09:10] <snowy> how do u re-enable admin rights to a accocunt?
[09:10] <mrga> i think that there is no solution, so i need to reinstall , can i save somehow my archives,
[09:10] <Pelo> needhelpnstuff, just trying to get an idea of your skill level,  I was starting to wonder,   check in the bios to make sure your boot order is still the same as it was before, and if that doesn'T work , boot the live cd and see if all the partitions are as tehy are suppse to be
[09:10] <fox2mike> DrDabbles: I may need to get a binary i915 off another box and then run it here
[09:10] <snowy> account*
[09:10] <hwilde> anybody use a logitech cordless rumblepad ?
[09:10] <travis> should i go with ubuntu ultimate ?
[09:10] <fox2mike> DrDabbles: but then, the installer should be fixed to show buttons at 800x600 :)
[09:10] <Pelo> mrga, boot the live cd and eiter put your /home folder on a seperate partiton or back it up to a cd or smeting
[09:10] <praveen> how to backup all my repositories in Feisty fawn
[09:10] <praveen> ?
[09:10] <DrDabbles> fox2mike: Ah, that makes is much more difficult...actually getting the app installed and getting it to apply on the LiveCD, and then restarting X to change the resolution is...difficult.
[09:10] <jonathan8di> Does anyone know a good guide for setting up a midi synthesizer and sequencer?
[09:11] <mrga> i put live cd , but nothing happens,
[09:11] <Pelo> travis,  there is no advantage to ubuntu ultimate, it's just a repack of the official ubuntu,  get the regular ubuntu live cd
[09:11] <Pelo> mrga, how did you install ubuntu to start with ?
[09:11] <travis> is it stable?
[09:11] <mrga> live cd,
[09:11] <DrDabbles> fox2mike: I agree. I had the same issue with an nvidia chipset on my new AMD64 board...but I was able to install the kernel module and restart X. Still a REAL pain, and I don't think that would work too sell with the 915 stuff :-/
[09:12] <Pelo> mrga,you need to boot your cmputer after you put in the live cd
[09:12] <betamax_> does anyone here know regular expressions?
[09:12] <Pelo> travis, is what stable ?
[09:12] <zenbuntu> About to instal ubunto 7.04 on old computer with small 13GB disk. Can anyone tell me just how much space ubunto needs to be safe?
[09:12] <gerber^Cavesup> Anybody know a good irssi xmms plugin?
[09:12] <mrga> aha, ok, i'll try,
[09:12] <Terrasque> betamax_: i know some
[09:12] <mrga> cya
[09:12] <travis> pelo, im downloading ultimate because i only have 5.04 install cd and is ultimate stable ?
[09:12] <hwilde> betamax_, what kind of regex
[09:12] <fox2mike> DrDabbles: just tell me how I can completely kill and restart X, I have the rest covered
[09:12] <praveen> ?
[09:12] <Terrasque> zenbuntu: depends, a good guideline is around 5gb imo
[09:12] <praveen> ?
[09:12] <praveen> how to backup all my repositories in Feisty fawn ?
[09:13] <betamax_> whichever kind unix commands like grep and sed use
[09:13] <needhelpnstuff> Pelo, they are but someone deleted the partition with K-ubuntu on it which was installed on /hdb hda1 had Xp on it.as i said bootmanagement in bios is right, and both HDs are detected
[09:13] <needhelpnstuff> skill level in linux is not that high, its just a couple a commands know :D
[09:13] <hwilde> betamax_, what do you want to do with a regex
[09:13] <Pelo> travis,  why don'T you just get the 7.04 cd from the ubuntu.org site ? , and we donT' support ultimate here, it is not an official release
[09:13] <travis> o ok
[09:13] <zenbuntu> terrasque thanks that will do for the space that I have left thks
[09:13] <travis> when ever i donwloaded fiest fawn it never auto runs when i wanna install
[09:13] <mrga> pelo how can i put home folder to cd, if i can't get gnome
[09:13] <travis> ive also tried 6.06
[09:14] <DrDabbles> To restart X you can simply click Quit and then Log Out. If that doesn't totally restart X you can press CTRL+ALT+1 to get to terminal 1, and enter "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[09:14] <betamax_> hwilde, i want to use sed to examine the output from ls, and replace the line breaks with spaces, is this possible?
[09:14] <mrga> pelo how can i put home folder to cd, if i can't get gnome
[09:15] <DrDabbles> fox2mike: To restart X you can simply click Quit and then Log Out. If that doesn't totally restart X you can press CTRL+ALT+1 to get to terminal 1, and enter "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[09:15] <Pelo> needhelpnstuff,  the stage 2 grub is on the same partiton as your kbuntu  install , which is why you get an error,  you'll need to reinstall kubuntu , to get the full grub installed again and boot both os or restor the MRB to boot your windows
[09:15] <Pelo> mrga, you can do it from the live cd
[09:15] <fox2mike> DrDabbles: tried all that, but let's see

[09:17] <carthik> travis, you probably wrote the iso as a file to the cd - you have to burn from the iso, using it as a disk image

[09:21] <Jack_Sparrow> sahil: Have you ever used the script automatix or envy...?
[09:21] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy: before adding a routing entry (will be done by DHCP usuallly) you need to get the computer pinging the router

[09:21] <Pelo> n0ur, run while you can't you donT' want to get trapped here

[09:23] <Harkins> What's the name of the package the console installer is in?
[09:23] <TimeRider41> MC: how large is the drive?
[09:23] <Pelo> MC_, try partitionning it manualy before starting the installer,  from menu > system > admin > gnome partition editor
[09:23] <sahil> it says could not get lock/var/cache/apt/archives/lock-open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) and E: Ubavle to lock the download directory
[09:24] <MC_> 250 gig
[09:24] <Mishu> What is the way to have script in init.d to run at reboot?
[09:24] <alexluft> carthik: let me look to find out; one sec
[09:24] <TimeRider41> and what's the largest partition you're trying to make?
[09:24] <TimeRider41> cos there's a bug in the GUI installed if partition is too lare
[09:24] <Pelo> sahil,  you need to close down all other package manager  synaptic , add/remove etc
[09:24] <MC_> the drive is empty so ithought i would jusy use it all= swap
[09:25] <hoarycripple> Jack_Sparrow, let me clarify my setup; I have an SAS controller and SATA controllers.  I have the boot device hooked to SATA0, and my storage hooked to SAS0 (node 0 and 1).
[09:25] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy: Did you set the IP by hand, or by DHCP?
[09:25] <sahil> Pelo, yup everything is closed, only Update manager and irc and gaim are open
[09:25] <kel39ru> so, it looks like theres no such a command huh?:)
[09:25] <TimeRider41> MC: it's the gnome partition tool that's the problem
[09:25] <Pelo> sahil, well something is still opened,  try rebooting the computer, open noting and just run the update manager
[09:25] <TimeRider41> MC, do you really need to add a swap part of 250gb?
[09:25] <praveen> hi TimeRider41
[09:25] <TimeRider41> hiya praveen
[09:25] <TimeRider41> hope you're not a bot
[09:25] <sahil> Pelo, will try and be back in 2 min
[09:25] <TimeRider41> lol
[09:25] <praveen> do u know how to backup all my repositories in Feisty fawn ?
[09:25] <hoarycripple> Jack_Sparrow, so I can boot fine. but it wont recognize the two devices on SAS0
[09:26] <MC_> no i thioght it was needed
[09:26] <TimeRider41> MC, is this your first time with ubuntu? or?
[09:26] <Pelo> TimeRider41, maybe he as 150 gig or ram
[09:26] <Pelo> of
[09:26] <david__> whats the latest version of gnome?
[09:26] <MC_> 1st time trying this
[09:26] <alexluft> carthik: how do I find out from within Ubuntu?
[09:26] <TimeRider41> pelo: that'd be nice :)
[09:26] <Pelo> david__,  2.18 I think , check the gnome site
[09:26] <JohnShortland> MC_: How much ram have you?
[09:26] <MC_> 2gig ram
[09:26] <savvas> praveen, the repositories are in: /etc/apt/
[09:26] <MC_> Amd 64 bit
[09:26] <david__> Pelo: i did, but on one mag i have they talk about 2.8....
[09:26] <carthik> alexluft, lspci | grep graphics -- or use the command lshw and then read the output
[09:27] <praveen> savvas: which file to copy ?
[09:27] <JohnShortland> david__: gnome 2.20 will be in gutsy gibbon
[09:27] <Jack_Sparrow> hoarycripple: I understand but I dont have any suggestions on the sas controller...
[09:27] <savvas> david__, www.gnome.org ?
[09:27] <Pelo> david__,  the current gnome running on fiesty is 2.18.1
[09:27] <hoarycripple> ok, no problem
[09:27] <hoarycripple> clear
[09:27] <hoarycripple> oops
[09:27] <TimeRider41> MC, you ran Ubuntu before?
[09:27] <TimeRider41> cos of not, I'd advise letting it partition for you
[09:28] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: Sorry, I have the blasted "a network cable is unplugged" error on this xp
[09:28] <TimeRider41> but to anyone trying to partition on install, who wants more than 220GB for one partition, the partition tool is screwed
[09:28] <david__> when is gusty gibbon being released?
[09:28] <savvas> praveen, well sources.list is the main file
[09:28] <JohnShortland> david__: mid oct
[09:28] <MC_> only from the disc it worked well
[09:28] <xanith> Can someone help me with dual screen in ubuntu
[09:28] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: Can we continue now?
[09:28] <TimeRider41> sources.list is just a list of the repositories
[09:28] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy: Not the same computer you're trying ubuntu on, right?
[09:28] <Symmetria>  hrm, can someone give me awk format to match the last field in a line (space delimited, number of fields is variable)
[09:28] <TimeRider41> so does he wanna backup THE files downloaded via apt, or just the repository list
[09:28] <david__> what will it be like going from 7.04 to gusty gibbon?
[09:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !dualhead
[09:28] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[09:28] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: yes,, dual boot
[09:29] <david__> do i need to format or a updte is simple?
[09:29] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy: Did you set the IP by hand, or by DHCP?
[09:29] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: 1 nic
[09:29] <alexluft> carthik: it doesn't show up there; I know it's integrated; let me look on Dell's site to give you the specs
[09:29] <JohnShortland> david__: compiz fusion will be installed by default, newer gnome, newer kernel
[09:29] <r_rehashed> where do all the .deb packages d/loaded get stored?
[09:29] <wayoutthere> Is anyone here good with MAME ROMS? Please pvt me if so I need some help.
[09:29] <david__> JohnShortland: but do i need a fresh install or can i upgrade from 7.04?
[09:29] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: well I am still learning how to properly setup a static ip in my router and all that but I have tried both ways
[09:29] <attunix> can synaptic install .tar.gz packages i downloaded?
[09:30] <r_rehashed> i am using Feisty
[09:30] <TimeRider41>  - /var/cache/apt/archives
[09:30] <reallyjoel> Can I list all my installed libraries? Thining specifically of my SDL-libraries.
[09:30] <TimeRider41> should be there I think
[09:30] <r_rehashed> TimeRider41: k. thanks
[09:30] <savvas> david__, you can always upgrade from an old version using the alternate version of iso
[09:30] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy: Ok, so, essentially, what you expect is that you'll plug in your PC and it will automagically get an IP like it does in Windows?
[09:30] <alexluft> carthik: nVidia GeForce 6150 LE integrated graphics drivers
[09:30] <JohnShortland> david__: to upgrade from feisty to gutsy when it comes out all you have to do is type at a terminal: apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade and it'll install gutsy
[09:30] <savvas> !alternate
[09:30] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[09:31] <carthik> oh okay, alexluft.
[09:31] <xanith> Is xinerama the better solution to multihead setups?
[09:31] <TimeRider41> The alternative CD is also included as a menu option with the DVD .iso
[09:31] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: yes,, I had ubuntu workin great. No internet problems. Then it just stopped
[09:31] <carthik> alexluft, the easiest way is to try System->Preferences->Desktop Effects and to try and enable that option.
[09:31] <TimeRider41> fishing, more than one network card?
[09:31] <systemd0wn> Question, anyone know of some good open source linux biometrics software?  (face, fingerprint, perhaps voice)
[09:32] <savvas> TimeRider41, yes, but for those that don't have 1gbit/s connections, alternate is easier :p
[09:32] <fishing_guy2222> I just had one network card
[09:32] <ambassada>
[09:32] <carlo> Is there any way to make system event messages like hardware errors NOT to show on terminals?
[09:32] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy: The fact that you have issues in windows and ubuntu most likely indicates something is wrong with either your NIC or your router. I'd try it with a different NIC or a friend's laptop to see if the problem persists.
[09:32] <alexluft> carthik, let me try that
[09:33] <praveen> savvas: u there ?
[09:33] <savvas> carlo, sure, try grep or pcregrep :)
[09:33] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: Dam dude,, I gotto goto the brick right away.
[09:33] <savvas> praveen, yep
[09:33] <attunix> can synaptic package manager install .tar.gz packages i downloaded?
[09:33] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: Can I email u?
[09:33] <DrDabbles> drdabbles: Sure<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:33] <JohnShortland> attunix: no it cant
[09:33] <savvas> attunix, negative
[09:33] <attunix> ok
[09:34] <erUSUL> attunix: no, you shouldn't install software from tar.gz. Are you sure the program is not in repos?
[09:34] <JohnShortland> attunix: what are you trying to install
[09:34] <savvas> attunix, try and find a .deb alternative package
[09:34] <praveen> savvas: which file to copy for backing up my repositories
[09:34] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy: Oops. Typed that to myself. tom#drdabbles.us.
[09:34] <attunix> savvas: The latest version of Gambas; the one in the repos gives me Windows-style buttons, not gnome-style ones.
[09:34] <fishing_guy2222> Drabbles: Hey thanks so much for the efforts. Something is wacked out.  I'm using feisty and I "upgraded" by hand libc6 to gutsy's version.  What can I do?
[09:35] <r_rehashed> TimeRider41: i see only some of the debs there. and i have specified insynaptic to delete only old versions of the debs
[09:35] <ZumA> www.mynet.com
[09:35] <DrDabbles> fishing_guy222: That's what's important.
[09:35] <savvas> attunix, version?
[09:36] <praveen> savvas: but i want all the package installation files
[09:36] <carlo> savvas how can I use grep to do that?
[09:36] <attunix> savvas: the one in repos is 1.0.15. I want to install 1.0.19, which hopefully fixes the interface problem.
[09:36] <carthik> alexluft, to tweak the resolution is more involved, but do you now have wobbly windows?
[09:36] <Pelo> nibblesmx,  to into synaptic, remvoe the gutsy repos,  find the pacakage,  right click andsee the options
[09:36] <carlo> isnt grep about showing things, not hiding them?
[09:37] <carlo> im not too savvy
[09:37] <alexluft> nope, just how it was before. What I was "complaining" about before was that I have a 22" display and not making very good use of it at that res
[09:37] <savvas> carlo, grep can help you get what you need, match it with a specific text. www.regular-expressions.info - you'll have to learn regular expressions and read the: man grep
[09:37] <carlo> ok thanks
[09:38] <nibblesmx> Pelo: I don't have any gutsy repos. When I said by hand, I ment manually downloading libc6 package and installing it with gdebi
[09:38] <Pelo> nibblesmx,  the rest of the suggestion should work as well
[09:39] <savvas> praveen: oh sorry, i think what you need is aptoncd or backuppc. from the menu: applications > add/remove > type aptoncd and try it
[09:39] <Pelo> nibblesmx,  when you right click on a package in synaptic you get the option to install earlier versions,  might be in the properties dialog
[09:40] <savvas> praveen still there? :)
[09:40] <carthik> alexluft, to change your resolution, you first have to know what the horizontal and vertical refresh rates supported by your monitor are. Once you know that, get back to me
[09:40] <Pelo> savvas, you scared him off
[09:40] <alexluft> carthik: ok
[09:40] <nibblesmx> Pelo: thanks a LOT man. I owe you a cold one :D
[09:40] <zirra-meeting> Ok, my USB mouse works oddly in X.  It seems to move fine, but click events don't seem to kick off at hte correct times when I click and drag.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
[09:41] <stuart-> ah, disconnected..
[09:41] <stuart-> i'm having weird laggy/cubic playback with .wmv on my players. someone once recommended me some codec packages to make it play smoother, anyon ehave any idea what it is?
[09:41] <harveyd> whats the default password when you install mysql with synaptic
[09:41] <Pelo> alexluft, just look at the lable at the back of your monitor
[09:41] <harveyd> daleharvey@daleharvey-laptop:/opt/SVN/spriki/trunk/lib$ mysql -uroot -h localhost -p
[09:41] <harveyd> Enter password:
[09:41] <harveyd> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[09:41] <Pelo> zirra-meeting,  search for the model and number in the forum see if there are any recommendations,    www.ubuntuforums.org
[09:42] <nilsgodecke> does ammybody know how to get the ES1978 Maestro 2E soundcard to work accurate in ubuntu?
[09:42] <alexluft> carthik: this? 75 Hz x 83 kHz
[09:42] <Pelo> harveyd, try your ubuntu username and password
[09:42] <harveyd> yeh that was my first shot
[09:42] <Pelo> nilsgodecke, I'm assuming this is not an onboard card ?
[09:42] <southafrikanse> hello once again: I need help configuring wine
[09:42] <zirra-meeting> Sigh.. my wireless keeps disconnecting too.
[09:42] <zirra-meeting> I dont know why.
[09:43] <nilsgodecke> Pelo it is, i have a compaq armada m700 laptop
[09:43] <harveyd> my wireless does every hour or so
[09:43] <Pelo> southafrikanse,  as usual we need specifics
[09:43] <southafrikanse> Pelo: Tell me what you need
[09:43] <Pelo> nilsgodecke, look up your model in this list see if anyting is mentionned  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:43] <Pelo> southafrikanse,  how about the actual problem ?
[09:44] <carthik> alexluft, great, alexluft, the first is the vertical rate and the second (83 khz) is the horizontal refresh rate. I hope you did not read them off the monitor's on screen display, because that would be what it is at right now :)
[09:44] <vocx> For reference, here is a web page explaining what "Error Loading Operating System" means. A proof that it is not a Linux error. It happened before in Windows. http://whocares.de/2004/12/28/error-loading-operating-system/
[09:44] <harveyd> http://pastebin.com/m2f312947
[09:44] <alexluft> carthik: off Dell's website
[09:44] <carthik> alexluft, we really could use the range of rates, but this works just as well.
[09:44] <zirra-meeting> Pelo: I've already tried that.  I haven't found anything similar to the problem I'm having.
[09:44] <southafrikanse> Pelo: I've installed wine so I can play Counter Strike
[09:45] <Pelo> southafrikanse,  go and inquire in #winehq
[09:45] <Pelo> zirra-meeting,  what is the actual nature of the problem just so I know what we need to fix ?
[09:45] <savvas> attunix, i see 1.0.18-2 in ubuntu universe repository ;)
[09:45] <sahil> pelo, it worked
[09:45] <Pelo> sahil, congrats
[09:46] <sahil> i have another problem. I have Nexiuz, but it doenst open or ask me how to open it
[09:46] <carthik> alexluft, so now we have to reconfigure the xorg server. to start use the command $sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  Choose the default options, except - choose "nv" as the graphics driver, and in the end, when it asks you whether you want simple, medium or advanced to configure the monitor, choose advanced and then use the refresh rate info you know.
[09:46] <carthik> alexluft, once you are done reconfiguring xserver-xorg, you can restart X by closing all apps and then doing a ctrl+alt+backspace
[09:46] <sahil> it just opens it up in a text editor, and when i drag it onto the terminal it says permission denied
[09:46] <Pelo> sahil,  I hve no idea wht nexiuz is so you'll hve od tell me
[09:46] <sahil> Pelo, my previous problem was that i couldnt update
[09:46] <alexluft> carthik: let me try that; thanks
[09:46] <sahil> Nexiuz is a game for Linux, quake-like
[09:47] <Pelo> sahil,   cd to the foler where it is , then   sudo chmod 755 filename
[09:47] <carthik> alexluft, you're welcome. I will be around when you pop back in
[09:47] <exyan> if I try to connect to an ubuntu share from my windows machine it asks me for a login and password, how the hell do I know it? I didn't set anything
[09:47] <sahil> difference between 744 and 755?
[09:47] <kitche> exyan: well you need to set it :)
[09:47] <exyan> kitche where/how ;p
[09:48] <zirra-meeting> Pelo: When I click to drag a window, select text, etc, its as if the click happens a few seconds AFTER I actually click.
[09:48] <Pelo> sahil,  5 is read execute ,  4 is just read
[09:48] <kitche> exyan: man sbmpass will tell you
[09:48] <sahil> Pelo, works like a charm
[09:48] <exyan> smbpass* ?
[09:48] <sahil> Pelo, thats a lot
[09:48] <Pelo> sahil,  no prob
[09:48] <kitche> exyan: I would look it up myself butr anymore I just use scp
[09:49] <exyan> kitche and there's no man for that :P
[09:49] <exyan> and I'll just use scp myself, thx for the tip
[09:49] <Pelo> zirra-meeting,  ok sorry I got confused abit I thought you were the sound card,  sounds like your mouse is laggin,  maybe try another usb port to make sure it is  full speed, or smeting, I donT' realy know
[09:49] <Pelo> nilsgodecke,  I don'T allow private msg , please talk to me in the channel
[09:50] <zirra-meeting> I did try another usb port.
[09:50] <f0rqu3> how do I disable minimize effect
[09:50] <zirra-meeting> no difference.
[09:50] <zirra-meeting> I'm having that problem, as well as having the problem with my wireless disconnecting repeatedly.
[09:50] <zirra-meeting> It connects fine and works fine, but after a while it just disconnects.
[09:50] <zirra-meeting> and won't reconnect.
[09:50] <carthik> f0rqu3, what wm are you using? are you using compiz, or compiz fusion?
[09:50] <Pelo> zirra-meeting,  is your wireless usb as well ?
[09:50] <zirra-meeting> No.
[09:50] <f0rqu3> gimp
[09:50] <Pelo> could have explained it
[09:50] <f0rqu3> minimize to taskbar
[09:50] <nilsgodecke> Pelo, ok, sorry, well it is not on the list, what is there to do next ?
[09:50] <zirra-meeting> It could have. ;)  But alas.
[09:50] <carthik> zirra-meeting, please try and type one long message, instead of one sentence over several message :)
[09:50] <kitche> exyan: told you wrong command anyways :)
[09:51] <Pelo> zirra-meeting,  pleas repeat your questions periodicaly,  I cannot help you but maybe someone else can
[09:51] <kitche> exyan: smbpasswd https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html#windows-networking-server has more about it
[09:51] <carthik> f0rqu3, gimp is not a window manager. Are you using compiz?
[09:51] <Pelo> nilsgodecke, did you look for the computer or the card ?
[09:51] <f0rqu3> gnome :D
[09:51] <hekman> anybody have any ideas on good exchange calendar clients other than evolution?  (or is there such a thing)
[09:51] <nilsgodecke> Pelo, the computer
[09:51] <carthik> f0rqu3, okay, then what do you mean by removing the minimize effect?
[09:52] <zirra-meeting> I'm having two problems.  One, my mouse clicks on my usb logitech track ball seem to lag behind by a second or two.  Two, my wireless network disconnects every once in a while and won't reconnect no matter what I do (when it connects it works fine, so I know that the WPA keys are correct).
[09:52] <Pelo> nilsgodecke, ok,  how do you mean the soundcard is not working properly anyway, can we get some specifics ?
[09:52] <f0rqu3> hit the minimize button of a window
[09:52] <jamesstansell> !backport
[09:52] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[09:52] <riyonuk> How do I install fonts? Cause I wish to install the first one, www.proggyfonts.com/index.php?menu=download, buy am unsure on which file to download
[09:52] <f0rqu3> it goes to the taskbar with an ugly effect
[09:52] <Alloosh> oh my god, guys I lost the network, when I click the network icon I dont see the eth0 and eth1 what happened?
[09:52] <Pelo> zirra-meeting, try searching the forum for lagging usb mouse , maybe that will help , or just usb mouse
[09:53] <IndyGunFreak> hekman: what other calendar apps have you looked at/
[09:53] <erUSUL> Alloosh: try 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'
[09:53] <hekman> IndyGunFreak: Just Evolution
[09:53] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[09:53] <hekman> but it has to interface with exchange :(
[09:54] <IndyGunFreak> hekman: orage maybe?
[09:54] <xiambax> what would you say the best media play for linux would be theses days
[09:54] <nilsgodecke> Pelo, the soundcar is a ESS Technology ES1978 Maestro 2E (rev 10), it "playes" only some nois, bot really anny sound, tryed to play a cd, but could only here some noise.
[09:54] <xiambax> closest thing i say itunes
[09:54] <zirra-meeting> Pelo: thatswhat I'm searching for already.  I'm finding plenty of usb problems, but not that one.
[09:54] <Pelo> !sound | nilsgodecke try this first
