[00:00] <_Vi_> On0bi: I dont think theres many RPG type channels on freenode, freenode tends to lean more towards technical topics...you might try something like searchirc.com and look for "Fantasy" or "RGP" , "D&D"
[00:00] <KenBW2> eurorail: ah, then you'll need to ask someone else sorry - i cant help
[00:00] <eurorail> i dont have a cd drive. i have to install it form the hard drive...and no floppy!  so i had to try to get dos to boot a kernel and then the installer but i got stuck on the syntax of the loadlin in dos
[00:00] <holyguyver> TrentH, Yes, sorry, you must have missed it the first time I said it. Earlier Baughn had me used badblock to find out the health of my harddrive, but it took hours for the programs to answer, it was 9AM then & only now at 5PM do I have an answer, but Baughn is not in at the moment, so I was looking for someone who could tell me what this answer means?
[00:01] <eurorail> does anyone know where i canget someone to help me with that loadlin syntax for installing ubuntu onto an older machine with no cd or floppy?
[00:01] <eurorail> AND no net connection!  ;)   i can get files on it in windows...  with an sd card
[00:02] <johnnny> I'm getting this error while doing: sudo apt-get install vim       http://pastebin.ca/1317448
[00:02] <Gerinych> how do i apply emerald themes
[00:02] <holyguyver> eurorail, if it can take an SDcard then it isn't that old.
[00:02] <leefmc> wesolek: No, i just havent had much luck with out of the ordinary devices & linux heh
[00:02] <TrentH> holyguyver, what is wrong with your harddrive?
[00:02] <jsfoxton> cwillu: how do i get it removed from the app dir if i cant find it in add/remove
[00:02] <leefmc> wesolek: All depends on popularity i spose
[00:02] <holyguyver> TrentH, I a year & a half ago dropped it from 4 feet onto the ground.
[00:03] <eurorail> holy:  i got a card reader to work in win98...   so i could backup and put files on it. i just cant get ubuntu installer to run... will not boot from cd and no floppy
[00:03] <faileas> eurorail: i think if you can get a disk image, and unetbootin, it should be sufficient to start up an install from windows
[00:03] <Dante123> hi all, trying to install latest pidgin and it says that not all dependencies are satisfied....pidgin 2.5.4 says this.  Any suggestions?  Also, what does sudo dpkg -i *.deb do?
[00:03] <eurorail> unetbootin requires and internet connection no?
[00:03] <bobbob1016> I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10, with an nVidia 8200 on the mobo and the propritary drivers.  I'm not getting a gui anymore.  I checked /var/log, and the files don't seem to have been updated for a while.  Any ideas?
[00:03] <cwillu> jsfoxton, depends where it put the file.  Easiest just to hide the menu (we're talking a couple k, nothing big enough to worry about)
[00:03] <Pricey> Dante123: is there a reason why you are not using the pidgin in the repositories?
[00:03] <eurorail> or can i use it to direct the installer on the disk...
[00:04] <TrentH> holyguyver: Are you having information loss? weird sound from the driver?
[00:04] <wesolek> leefmc, I think some people managed to install it properly, but when I follow their steps, I get some errors along the way... not very fluent in linux world, so I can't figure out what is wrong
[00:04] <holyguyver> TrentH, no I am not
[00:04] <jsfoxton> cwilllu: ok...so how do i do that?
[00:04] <TrentH> hoyguyver: If you dropped it and it still works shouldn't be any problems.
[00:04] <famous> is anyone able to provide support for octave here? i just have a question about getting the symbols package operating properly for octave 3.0
[00:04] <johnnny> this is strange :P..
[00:05] <TrentH> holyguyver: Since you are not having issues with it, why test it?
[00:05] <holyguyver> TrentH, it did not work after I dropped it, I paid 1600$ to get the data off of it.
[00:05] <johnnny> something must be wrong with my apt setup..
[00:05] <wesolek> leefmc, I thought, if anywhere, here would be the best place to find somebody that could help me out
[00:05] <TrentH> holyguyver: Oh my god, was your information really that important?
[00:05] <eurorail> well.... can anyone help direct me to get help with that loadlin command line stuff in dos so i can get an install to run without any removable media or net connection?
[00:05] <Wiseguy> hey guys, is it possible to install ubuntu from a USB key?
[00:05] <holyguyver> TrentH, I tested it because as you can see from my pastebin there are bad sectors & the drive is dieing from a head crunch.
[00:05] <j_nw1> hi.. just installed ubuntu 8.10 server from the CD. It is not configured for accessing repositories over the network and keeps on asking for CDROM everytime. Also, it does not have universe repos configured. Can some one please send me pointers to these repositories.. that I need to add in sources.list.. Thanks.
[00:05] <holyguyver> TrentH, Yes it was that important.
[00:06] <Dante123> Pricey I keep getting dc'ed after a few minutes.  Chatter just quits appearing on my screen although the program is still running.  The pidgin irc channel says dont bother asking for help unless you are running 2.5.4 and so I checked my version and see it is outdated...thought the new one might fix any bugs.
[00:06] <RocketLauncher> Damn I never knew i was registered
[00:06] <TrentH> holyguyver: Actually, I have no idea what that pastebin means. I am not very harddrive savvy.
[00:06] <ortsvorsteher> !sources.list | j_nw1
[00:06] <Gerinych> how do i apply emerald themes?
[00:06] <Flannel> j_nw1: You'll be editing /etc/apt/sources.list, comment out the CDrom line.  Uncomment the universe lines and you'll be good.  Then sudo apt-get update again
[00:06] <j_nw1> sources.list.d
[00:06] <Flannel> j_nw1: No, /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:06] <TrentH> holyguyver: I was lucky to get my harddrivers in Raid 0.
[00:06] <Dante123> With my luck, you will answer my question and I will never see it because I usually get dced in five to ten minutes.  Have to restart pidgin for it to work again.  Running 8.10
[00:07] <leefmc> wesolek: Atleast a decent shot :), i was just commenting on it, nothing good/bad intended about it :)
[00:07] <Pricey> Dante123: if you can't install software from pidgin.im, i suggest you ask them for support.
[00:07] <holyguyver> TrentH, that pastebin is a list of bad sectors
[00:07] <j_nw1> Flannel : The installation does not have pointers.. that i can simple uncomment.
[00:07] <leefmc> wesolek: Im in the same boat as you, involving the linux world, that is,
[00:07] <holyguyver> TrentH, meaning the harddrive is nearly dead
[00:07] <alltax> I have a problem with the GUI of xfig. The fields become to long causing some buttons become hidden
[00:07] <leefmc> wesolek:  Flannel saved my life, maybe he knows. :D
[00:08] <TrentH> holyguyver: perhaps get a new drive?
[00:08] <wesolek> leefmc, lol :)

[00:08] <Dante123> Pricey did you just read my message!  They won't support unless you have the latest.  I try to remove the one that is installed, ubuntu says I cant.  I try to install 2.5.4 deb and it says that dependencies are not met.  What's a noob to do?
[00:08] <RocketLauncher> i typed it in twice sorry

[00:08] <TrentH> holyguyver: Which is cheaper, new drive or $1,600 to recover the information again?
[00:09] <holyguyver> TrentH, there is no information on it
[00:09] <alesan> hi, do you know if it is possible to create RAID partitions on the installer of ubuntu server and use them?
[00:09] <RocketLauncher> holyguyver: NEW DRIVE
[00:09] <TrentH> holyguyver: But you do plan on putting information back on it correct?
[00:09] <thiebaude> new computer,lol
[00:09] <wesolek> flannel, do you know by any chance how to install / make work a touch screen? I followed one of the threads and it led me nowhere, but it may have been because my xorg.config looked nothing like it should according to thread

[00:09] <TrentH> Can someone tell me how to get a dialup connection to work on Ubuntu 8.10?
[00:09] <Flannel> j_nw1: Pastebin your sources.list please
[00:10] <holyguyver> TrentH, yes, but will you pay for my new drive for me? if not, then you have no right telling me to get a new one, only to suggest that if I have the money to, then that would be best.
[00:10] <Cpudan80> !dialup | TrentH
[00:10] <Flannel> wesolek: Not really no.  You may try starting your own thread.

[00:10] <walbert> Hey folks.  I'm doing some work on a project that uses GTK, and working under Kubuntu 8.10.  I'd like to be able to change my gtk themes around.  I installed gtk-engine-* and gtk-theme-switch2, but i still only get the default options of Qt4 and Raleigh in the theme switcher.  What am I doing wrong?
[00:10] <RocketLauncher> Can someone tell me how to fix compiz from interfering with video playback (flickering, etc) without disabling compiz?

[00:11] <wesolek> flannel, ta :)
[00:11] <TrentH> holyguyver: I only suggested you get a new one. As I find it less expensive to buy a new drive than try and fix this broken one, and risk it breaking again.

[00:16] <Flannel> j_nw1: That is.
[00:16] <cjae> walbert: worried about the ati chipset part of it
[00:16] <gnubuntu> johnnny: just try sudo apt-get install -f

[00:19] <holyguyver> Baughn, so would a wipe be worth it?

[00:19] <TrentH> Ah come on...
[00:19] <ty> Can i make gnome as fast as xfce, and it still look the same?
[00:19] <lstarnes> TrentH: sudo lshw
[00:20] <signil> argh, now could someone give me any suggestions pls? :'(
[00:20] <Flannel> johnnny: Because that's a good way to break something.  There's absolutely no reason you need to use force to install a normal package.
[00:20] <walbert> ty: Don't ask silly questions
[00:20] <lstarnes> ty: I don't think so
[00:20] <ro> cwillu, i diud what you told me and made the ext3 an nfts and reooted then i get the bootmgr is missing and i can't reboot into windows
[00:20] <Flannel> johnnny: "when something doesn't fit, force it" isn't a good policy... ever.
[00:20] <Baughn> holyguyver: Well, that's the question. You can force a remapping by manually writing to those particular sectors, but the HD might not even have that many extra sectors (well, you'd find out), and at any rate, there'll be damage to the /heads/ too
[00:20] <johnnny> Flannel: oh, it's force install..
[00:20] <walbert> ty: Well, you can ask silly questions, but stop asking that particular silly question :)
[00:20] <yagga> holyguyver: use dd to image your hdd the look at ptk from dflabs
[00:20] <Caverus> Alright then. I'm in my Sound Preferences and I'm trying to get the test sound to play for any device, but they keep returning errors on playback. "Could not get/set settings from/on resource." or "Could not open audio device for playback." or the like. Any suggestions?
[00:20] <ro> yagga, when do i do that at start up
[00:20] <cjae> walbert: ok what is better plug and play OS in bios or not
[00:21] <johnnny> Flannel: so, what do you think of the apt-get update pastebin ?
[00:21] <cwillu> ro, I _didn't_ say to _make_ it an ntfs, I said the fact that it wasn't ntfs was really suspicious, and then somebody else said it was wubi, and I handed you off to him :(
[00:21] <gnubuntu> johnnny: Flannel is right. Maybe you should remove vim-common first then install it again
[00:21] <Flannel> johnnny: Alright, try installing it again, if it doesn't work, pastebin the error as well as the output of this: apt-cache policy vim vim-common
[00:21] <Baughn> holyguyver: You really, REALLY don't want to keep using a disk that's this damaged. It always gets worse.
[00:21] <TrentH> I need detailed instructions on setting up a dialup connection.
[00:21] <walbert> cjae: I tend to leave that disabled.  iirc it's there for older microsoft os's.
[00:21] <johnnny> Flannel: reinstalling vim ? our the OS ?
[00:21] <johnnny> our = or
[00:21] <Flannel> johnnny: sudo apt-get vim
[00:21] <holyguyver> Alright, thank you :) I only plan on using it for 3 months before I get the money to replace it :)
[00:21] <TrentH> The link provided, isn't much on helping.
[00:21] <gnubuntu> johnnny: you have a depencency problem with vim-common. i guess cause of your dial up connection.
[00:21] <ro> cwillu, i understand that i did what he told me now i get the message bootmgr is missing to boot into windows
[00:22] <j_nw1> Flannel: Thanks for your help. Is it normal to have cdrom only repository.. or I chose some option during installation that might have made it so.
[00:22] <cwillu> ro, do you have a windows cd?
[00:22] <ty> could i make xfce as slow as gnome and it still look the same
[00:22] <ro> cwillu, no
[00:22] <Flannel> j_nw1: If during the install you didn't configure internet, then yeah, that's normal.
[00:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: At any rate, do you have a windows machine?
[00:22] <TrentH> Johnnny, can you tell me how you setup your dialup connection?
[00:22] <johnnny> Flannel: same message as earlier
[00:22] <thedeadliestwhis> I've got two hard drives installed on this system but its only locating my 80 GB hard drive. Any suggestions?
[00:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: A full scandisk run (w/ the disk surface check) should fix your disk, to the degree it's fixable.
[00:22] <yagga> holyguyver: if you have another box connect the particular drive and use dd to copy the sectors the use ptk to get the files off you will need anothe hdd but it wont cost 1600
[00:22] <johnnny> TrentH: why ?
[00:22] <cwillu> ro, have you ever made the recovery cd that windows offers to make when you first boot it up?
[00:22] <patmanpato> my ubuntu is dying half way through bootup all of a sudden this morning, is there a way to get rid of the boot splash and show the details of the bootup process ?
[00:22] <ro> yagga, when do i press f8 then fix mbr
[00:23] <Flannel> johnnny: Alright, and the output from the policy command/
[00:23] <lstarnes> ro: in the recovery disk
[00:23] <TrentH> Johnnny, Because I need to setup a dialup connection on this PC. So I can play games.
[00:23] <johnnny> .. 1 sec
[00:23] <j_nw1> Flannel: humm.. dont remember.. any option like that.. will be careful on my next install.. (or reinstall) Thanks again.
[00:23] <Baughn> patmanpato: Press alt-f1
[00:23] <yagga> ro, when it starts up f8 is safe boot
[00:23] <johnnny> TrentH: it's not a dialup
[00:23] <patmanpato> Baughn: thanks
[00:23] <Baughn> patmanpato: Or alt-f2 then alt-f1. Something like that.
[00:23] <ty> could i make xfce as slow as gnome and it still look the same
[00:23] <meoblast> uh oh
[00:23] <cjae> walbert: shouldn't sudo ifup eth0 work
[00:23] <meoblast> Ubuntu can't figure out how to use my CDRom drive
[00:23] <TrentH> johnnny, why did someone say it was your dialup connection then?
[00:23] <ro> cwillu, no i haven't but yagga says f8 then fix mbr hopefully that works
[00:23] <meoblast> what should i do
[00:23] <meoblast> i don't have a floppy drive
[00:23] <holyguyver> yagga there are not files on this drive at the moment that I need copies of & I do not have enough space elsewhere to do that.
[00:24] <holyguyver> Baughn, I do not have any windows machines.
[00:24] <meoblast> i think i need 8.10
[00:24] <johnnny> oh, i should try pinging google.com
[00:24] <ty> meoblast: i have a floppy drive you could borrow
[00:24] <ty> lol
[00:24] <RocketLauncher> Can someone tell me how to fix compiz from interfering with video playback (flickering, etc) without disabling compiz?
[00:24] <johnnny> Works
[00:24] <yagga> ro, that is "fixmbr"
[00:24] <johnnny> my net, seems to work
[00:24] <meoblast> ty: now i have to wait 3 hours to download 8.10
[00:24] <meoblast> AHH
[00:24] <ty> why?
[00:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: Even after resetting those sectors, the filesystem will be damaged, and linux does not have any tools to fix ntfs.
[00:24] <cjae> walbert: it says ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[00:24] <ty> meoblast, why?
[00:24] <cyphase> What do people use for desktop widgets, if you use them at all? Screenlets, Google Gadgets, or something else?
[00:24] <RocketLauncher> Can someone tell me how to fix compiz from interfering with video playback (flickering, etc) without disabling compiz?
[00:25] <ro> yagga, gotycha when the system starts up before i get which system to chose form hit f8
[00:25] <yagga> holyguyver: there are hdd 750gb or so for app $100
[00:25] <ty> try using xine instead of gstreamer. RocketLauncher
[00:25] <holyguyver> Baughn, as said earlier I do not exactly need the data on this drive, so if I reformat it to ext3 will all be fixed?
[00:25] <meoblast> ty: aparently 8.10 doesnt have SATA cd rom drivers
[00:25] <ty> totem-xine
[00:25] <gnubuntu> RocketLauncher: i now this problem. only way is to use no Xv!
[00:25] <ty> lol
[00:25] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: Get an nvidia card
[00:25] <patmanpato> dont you hate when that happens... alt 1/2 => display the boot process... now the system boots up fine :P
[00:25] <yagga> ro, yep
[00:25] <meoblast> ty: i mean 8.04
[00:25] <holyguyver> yagga I do not even have 5$
[00:25] <RocketLauncher> Baughn: OH YOU!
[00:25] <ty> compiz looks crisp on nvidia
[00:25] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: It requires DRI2, which isn'T out yet, or some hacks only the nvidia driver does
[00:25] <ty> could i make xfce as slow as gnome and it still look the same???????
[00:25] <cjae> walbert: seems like it is just not getting ip addy brb
[00:25] <biouser> !dbg
[00:25] <ro> yagga, do i need to change it in the ios
[00:26] <yagga> holyguyver: maybe the stimulus pakage will help
[00:26] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: Lacking either of those, you're out of luck.
[00:26] <johnnny> Flannel: http://pastebin.ca/1317489
[00:26] <TrentH> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkAdmin I do not have those settings on my version?
[00:26] <holyguyver> yagga the stimulas package won't be coming in today :p
[00:26] <lstarnes> ty: that's a very silly question.  If xfce were that slow and looked like gnome, then it wouldn't be xfce
[00:26] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: ..or you could not use compiz. It's just pointless eyecandy anyway.
[00:26] <yagga> ro, no when it starts to boot f8
[00:26] <cjae> do I have to remove a 56 k winsoft modem when installing ubuntu
[00:26] <ty> thats all i needed
[00:27] <TrentH> Err
[00:27] <ty> i was just seeing what kind of trouble i could get in for asking silly questions
[00:27] <ty> lol
[00:27] <ty> bye
[00:27] <cjae> lspci is showing my ethernet card that is not working
[00:27] <biouser> is it possible that some of my video and audio might run better in xfce or is that just wishful thinking?
[00:27] <johnnny> Flannel: the pastebin is : http://pastebin.ca/1317489   (if you missed the msg)
[00:27] <Finlay> Is there a good way to erase a read only .iso image from a usb key? neither rm  nore shred working on it, nor chmod chown.
[00:27] <thedeadliestwhis> I've got two hard drives but only one is detected. could someone help?
[00:27] <Flannel> johnnny: What have you done to previously install vim?  You downloaded a deb from somewhere? or what?
[00:27] <Baughn> biouser: Wishful thinking, but there /is/ a possibility that video works better without compiz.
[00:28] <Baughn> (Near certainty, in fact)
[00:28] <ro> yagga, will that add boot manager
[00:28] <johnnny> Flannel: it came with the 8.04 server edition install .
[00:28] <widea> Finlay: try with mc
[00:28] <gnubuntu> RocketLauncher: run gstreamer-properties and try change the video plugin to X window system (no Xv) that's work for me.
[00:28] <Caverus> Hi, I'm in my Sound Preferences and I'm trying to get the test sound to play for any device, but they keep returning errors on playback. "Could not get/set settings from/on resource." or "Could not open audio device for playback." or the like. Any suggestions?
[00:28] <johnnny> Flannel: i installed my machine 2 hours ago
[00:28] <yagga> ro, it will fix your mbr so windows will boot
[00:28] <unop> Finlay, what filesystem on the disk?
[00:28] <ro> yagga, when i hit f8 where do i go to fixmbr
[00:29] <ortsvorsteher> !sound | Caverus
[00:29] <Finlay> linpuslite
[00:29] <RocketLauncher> I dropped my slim jim :(
[00:29] <Fractured> wash it off
[00:29] <yagga> ro, it will be obvious you will type fixmbr
[00:29] <patmanpato> is there a way to permanently avoid the boot-splash and show the bootup sequence ?
[00:29] <ro> yagga,  ok easy enough
[00:30] <zax> ...
[00:30] <biouser> Baughn remove compiz with apt?
[00:30] <gnubuntu> johnnny: last tip from me.just sudo apt-get autoremove vim-common than apt-get install vim
[00:30] <Baughn> biouser: There's no need to remove it, just disable it.
[00:30] <Flannel> johnnny: Oh.... interesting.  It did.  It seems that the vim on 8.04.2 is newer than the one in the repos.  Which is whats causing this problem.
[00:30] <Baughn> biouser: ..though removing it will certainly work.
[00:31] <Flannel> johnnny: If you've got the CD still enabled, you'll want to remove it (although that policy says you don't).  sudo apt-get remove vim vim-tiny && sudo apt-get install vim
[00:31] <unop> patmanpato, remove the words, quiet and splash from the menu entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:31] <holyguyver> Baughn, As said I only intend on using it for three months & storing non-important data on it for that time, & then moving it off in April when I get a new harddrive, so I am looking for the things I can do to make it somewhat usable for that time being.
[00:31] <biouser> if ps ax |grep compiz returns nothing then I am not running compiz?
[00:32] <Baughn> holyguyver: Find a windows machine to run scandisk on
[00:32] <johnnny> Flannel: i'll try that, but in a couple of minutes :)
[00:32] <johnnny> thanks
[00:32] <holyguyver> Baughn, Alright, that will be my mother's windows vista which is a 15 miunte drive away
[00:32] <patmanpato> unop: thanks :)
[00:33] <oskar-> patmanpato:  remove it in the commented variants, as they are the drafts at next execution of update-grub
[00:33] <holyguyver> Baughn, I have not ran scandisk nor windows in 5 years. what do I do to activate scandisk, is it commandline?
[00:33] <DVA5912> Is their an apache development enviroment with php and mysql with it? Im just looking to build my site localy then publish. The site on my computer does need to be accessible through outside though...
[00:33] <biouser> what cruft can I remove to get the best chance of stable high-quality screencast recording?
[00:33] <Baughn> holyguyver: I have no idea. I haven't either.
[00:33] <Baughn> biouser: Compiz would be a good start
[00:34] <unop> !lamp > DVA5912
[00:34] <holyguyver> Baughn, as said, what if I wipe the drive, then do I have pureply gnu/linux salutions?
[00:34] <Baughn> holyguyver: Sure, that would work
[00:34] <DVA5912> unop, is that a single package?
[00:34] <holyguyver> Baughn, alright, tell me what I need to do?
[00:34] <Baughn> holyguyver: Wipe the drive, and the bad blocks will get remapped (hopefully). Switch to a linux-native FS, and it'll be better able to handle further errors.
[00:34] <unop> DVA5912, read the message ... it has instructions
[00:34] <patmanpato> oskar-: you mean remove it from the uncommented plus remove it from the comments above it? so on an update-grub my settings wont be overwritten ?
[00:34] <nwahsadude> Is there a way i can search for all other computers on the network?
[00:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: Eh. Copy off any data you want to keep, unmount the filesystem, then cat /dev/zero > <whatever device it's using> (as root).
[00:35] <biouser> sudo aptitude remove compiz and compiz is no more?
[00:35] <unop> DVA5912, as for getting your site to be accessible from the outside .. it depends on the type of network connection, router, etc .. and that's somewhat beyond the scope of this channel
[00:35] <holyguyver> Baughn, will wiping the drive be as easy as simply going into gparted & reformatting?
[00:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: Then you use fdisk to create a partition, and mke3fs to make a filesystem on said partition.
[00:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: No. A "reformat", in linux, just means recreating the filesystem; it doesn't touch every sector.
[00:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: Though it'd probably /work/, there could be un-remappable bad sectors still on the drive and you wouldn't know until it's too late.
[00:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: So you need the cat /dev/zero > device-file line; that's the wipe.
[00:36] <holyguyver> Baughn, can you tell me this in pms so that I have it all down?
[00:36] <MisterKM> Did anyone think of what I can do with my webcam? And please, no !webcam.
[00:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: Eh, sure.
[00:37] <alesan> MisterKM, I put one on my windows and there is a software that is activation-enabled
[00:37] <alesan> so I record all the hot chicks that walk by
[00:37] <Royall> How do I stop my mic from gettng major feedback
[00:37] <oskar-> patmanpato:  look for the string "BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST". the file should be self-documenting. the part between "End Default Options" and "END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" will be overwritten by update-grub each time
[00:41] <trix> /irc.freenode.org/vbox
[00:41] <trix> Hi all,
[00:42] <trix> I need some help, I have a virtualbox running on ubuntu 8.10
[00:42] <trix> and I have maya 2009 installed there
[00:43] <pisecx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109193/
[00:43] <pisecx> I thought linux can kill any process..
[00:44] <trix> every time I try to run Maya or install my license file, it crashes and gives me a guru meditation messeage
[00:44] <luke_> Izinucs, still here?
[00:45] <gonewestcoast> Pisecx: sudo the kill 9
[00:45] <Izinucs> luke_: still having issues?
[00:45] <pisecx> gonewestcoast: it was sudo
[00:45] <luke_> Izinucs,  yes sir, followed the instructions and got a black screen with writing then it froze
[00:45] <pisecx> gonewestcoast: it's very strange for me O_o
[00:45] <gnubuntu> trix: there is a linux version of maya why you dont install that version? much better than in vb
[00:45] <pisecx> gonewestcoast: I thought linux can kill anything
[00:46] <Izinucs> luke_: that was the first set of instructions or the second set that came in the link from ubottu?
[00:47] <unop> pisecx, that's a zombie process .. usually cannot be killed .. it's not taking up any resources - so you don't really have to worry about it
[00:47]  * johnnny 's in VI heaven now :)
[00:47] <_Vi_> johnnny: its fixed?
[00:47] <pisecx> unop: ok, thanks. why did this happened?
[00:47] <johnnny> _Vi_: yup
[00:47] <_Vi_> johnnny: what did you do to fix it?
[00:47] <johnnny> removed my vim-tiny from the distribution CD installation.. and installed "vim" from the web repository.
[00:47] <MisterKM> alesan: I've put it in, ran EasyCam2 here in Linux. It installed something, but it didn't work. I've researched it and the commands that were used gave me the result thats in the pastebin.
[00:48] <Huene`> could someone please point me to the right place for learning how to diagnose sound problems? a working configuration would work just fine
[00:48] <_Vi_> johnnny: lol i told you that long ago, but you didnt want to :P
[00:48] <redvamp128> which one vim-nox or just plain vim?
[00:48] <Dr_willis> johnnny,  i always install vim-full  :)
[00:48] <_Vi_> johnnny: anyways nice to see it works
[00:48] <unop> pisecx, the process that started this instance .. failed to wait for it to be 'reaped' .. read more about zombies here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
[00:48] <johnnny> _Vi_: ya, but not the full one
[00:48] <johnnny> _Vi_: and ya.. you did, but apt-get fucked on me
[00:48] <pisecx> unop: thanks again
[00:48] <_Vi_> oh
[00:48] <unop> johnnny, no need for that language here
[00:48] <_Vi_> apt-get can do mean things at times
[00:49] <johnnny> _Vi_: didn't want to install it, because vim-tiny was conflicting with "vim" from the web-repo.
[00:49] <johnnny> _Vi_: and my vim-tiny was more Up to Date, than the web-repo.
[00:49] <johnnny> _Vi_, Flannel is the one that figured that part out
[00:50] <patmanpato> commenting out the  "quiet" in menu.lst  and removing quiet in the commented section above, isnt removing the splash screen, hrmph, am i missing something?
[00:50] <luke_> Izinucs,  That was the one from ubottu, the last one that you said just says warning: overwriting possibility-customized configureation file
[00:50] <johnnny> stupid vim-tiny :P  (sorry) hehe
[00:50] <Flannel> patmanpato: You only need to touch the stuff in the commented section, then save and do sudo update-grub
[00:50] <unop> patmanpato, did you remove 'splash'?
[00:50] <cjae_> what is wake by pme
[00:50] <Flynsarmy> I've lost the default bluetooth icon in the upper panel. How do i get it back? I installed gnome-bluetooth and went apps - accessories -bluetooth file sharing but that's a diff icon and i can't figure out how to connect to bluetooth devices
[00:50] <_Vi_> johnnny: heh Flannel is good, theres no doubt there
[00:51] <Izinucs> luke_: are you relaying all this to your friend that's actually doing all the work? in a different location?
[00:51] <johnnny> :)
[00:51] <luke_> Izinucs,  he's sistting right next too me
[00:51] <johnnny> your all .. all good :)
[00:51] <johnnny> xcept me
[00:51] <Izinucs> luke_: close enough :)
[00:51] <Huene`> ok well since no one is sure, would it be safe for me to uninstall Pulse, Alsa, OSS and anything else that I see as being sound related and install Alsa?
[00:51] <redvamp128> johnnny:  I didn't even think about vim-tiny  == thought because it was a server with no gui that vim-nox was the package you needed.
[00:52] <johnnny> redvamp128: vim simply did it :)
[00:52] <johnnny> short a simple and seems light
[00:52] <patmanpato> unop: woops, didnt see the 'splash' , trying that now
[00:52] <Izinucs> luke_: you may be having this issue because you either have 1> a crt monitor that doesn't output esid info 2> a flatscreen hooked up with a vga connector instead of a dvi connector 3> something just couldn't be configured because of a lack of info
[00:53] <_Vi_> VI/M/Gvim is light, i donno bout simple, its very advanced johnnny
[00:53] <Izinucs> luke_: you might need to install the nvidia driver manually. hang on and I'll find the right one.
[00:53] <luke_> Izinucs,  it's a laptop, I think it's lcd
[00:53] <johnnny> _Vi_: i know i know :P
[00:54] <Royall> #ubuntu: How do I stop the feedback of my mic? I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, my mic is built in to my monitor
[00:54] <johnnny> and whats with vim-nox ?  (better syntax highlighting ?)
[00:54] <Izinucs> luke_: that would make sense.. they can be finicky sometimes.
[00:55] <johnnny> redvamp128 seems to want to push it on me :P  should i install vim-nox instead of vim ?
[00:55] <patmanpato> unop: thanks for the help, works now :)
[00:56] <rdw200169> johnnny, you could take a shot at pida: pida.co.uk
[00:56] <rdw200169> johnnny, it's Vim + GUI, easier (some would say) than gvim
[00:56] <johnnny> rdw200169: i'm not in X !! (console only)
[00:56] <redvamp128> johnnny:  I only suggested that earlier because you said it was a server install -- with command line only and vim didn't want to install - you said in the pastebin that it was missing dependencies-
[00:56] <rdw200169> johnnny, vim is, not pida
[00:56] <Izinucs> luke_: ok.. open a terminal (applications>accessories>terminal) and type ... sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 .. it may install a total of 3 packages .. watch .. if it only installs one let me know.
[00:57] <johnnny> redvamp128: so now that "vim" works, should i still have a look at "vim-nox" ? :)
[00:57] <Izinucs> luke_: if it says that package isn't available let me know.
[00:58] <redvamp128> johnnny:  if vim is working now then leave it alone--
[00:58] <johnnny> redvamp128: k :)
[00:58] <Chaorain> Is There a way to run "sudo compiz" at startup?
[00:58] <jscinoz> Hi
[00:58] <luke_> Izinucs, theres a bunch oof lines beginning with "failed to fetch"
[00:58] <rdw200169> Chaorain, you don't want to run it as root
[00:58] <jscinoz> I'm running pulseaudio systemwide, but it still starts per user, how do i disable pulseaudio startup from each user's session?
[00:58] <Izinucs> luke_: ok.. does the laptop have an active internet connection?
[00:58] <Chaorain> I have to otherwise it wont run at all
[00:59] <whompapotamus> anyone in here familiar with bridging a connection from ubuntu to an xbox
[00:59] <rdw200169> Chaorain, then there's a big problem!
[00:59] <whompapotamus> ?
[00:59] <luke_> Izinucs, yes
[00:59] <Chaorain> any clue how to fix?
[00:59] <rdw200169> whompapotamus, you're just piggybacking internet from a linux computer, i.e. internet connection sharing, right?
[01:00] <Izinucs> luke_: ok .. just hit the up arrow in the terminal and that last command will appear again.. however before hitting enter change the 180 to a 177
[01:00] <luke_> Izinucs, same thing
[01:00] <luke_> Izinucs, if it helps any this computer is a year old
[01:01] <Izinucs> luke_: shouldn't make a difference.. which version of ubuntu did you install?
[01:01] <jsfoxton> hi ppl
[01:01] <DVA5912> Ok so i have lamp installed now whats the best way to edit my website?
[01:01] <luke_> Izinucs, EEEbuntu
[01:01] <luke_> Izinucs, its a mod from 8.10
[01:01] <Izinucs> luke_: arg.. for the netbook?
[01:01] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: there's not really a "best" way to do it, what works for you?
[01:01] <jsfoxton> i have installed wine and office but excel never runs....does anyone have any suggestions on how to get excel running?
[01:01] <darkblue_B> Q. After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, I had minor errors that are now resolved.. but when I restart, I am getting a "Recovery Menu" screen, hitting enter aloows boot normally. How do I get rd of this safety screen now and let it boot ??! this is a headless machine normally
[01:02] <DVA5912> gordonjcp: i just want to be able to upload or copy files to the /var/www directory
[01:02] <eljaco> hi, I have a Dell PowerEdge 400SC server that I use as my desktop and am running ubuntu 8.10 on it. It was running fine and well until I just added some new RAM and a wireless card (used to be connected straight to router.) Now X freezes on me after a few seconds - I can't even log in to gnome
[01:02] <Chaorain> My vista laptop can't read my samba shares any help?
[01:02] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: yup
[01:02] <Izinucs> luke_: can you get to System>Admin>Synaptic package manager?
[01:02] <luke_> Izinucs, yes thats what its for, he doesnt havea netbook but I do and  used that version and it gave me my internet drivers, so he used it too for the drivers since Ubuntu was too hard to get working drivers with
[01:02] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: cp thing /var/www
[01:02] <DVA5912> gordonjcp: i have to do that everytime i want to move files?
[01:03] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: you might want sudo cp thing /var/www if it's not owned by you (and it probably isn't)
[01:03] <luke_> Izinucs, hes in it
[01:03] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: there are lots of ways to do it
[01:03] <meoblast001> hi
[01:03] <meoblast001> nvidia drivers broke my system
[01:03] <meoblast001> what do i do
[01:03] <heatmzzr> i am trying to play a streaming mms file, totem opens and it shows streaming but i dont hear anything
[01:03] <DVA5912> gordonjcp: what would i need to install to got ftp
[01:03] <Izinucs> luke_: hit the search button and search for nvidia-glx
[01:03] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: don't use ftp

[01:04] <Dante123> First dwl900ap is access point upstairs.  What do I config the second one to be?  Access Point Client, wireless bridge point to point, or wb point to multipoint?  I'm thinking Access Point Client....so internet from upstairs AP is shared with downstairs ones and any nintendos that hook up to i.  Look at http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee359/RacerWhy5/wifidiagram2.jpg
[01:04] <mnguyen> I'm currently using openbox as my WM. How do I get conky to autostart when I create a new session?
[01:04] <BlackBatMan> i have two desktops connected through a router to a high-speed modem
[01:04] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  that is a link to the wine database with helpful hints to get programs running under wine
[01:04] <Huene`> can I remove Alsa without removing things that are barely related (like gnome-panel) I do still want to have an OS during this attempt to reinstall sound
[01:04] <luke_> Izinucs, its showing nvidia-glx-96
[01:04] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: basically if anyone wants me to install an FTP server I immediately quote them £750 plus an additional £200 per month
[01:04] <BlackBatMan> i want to transfer data from linux to my windows machine
[01:04] <Izinucs> luke_: that's it?
[01:04] <Chaorain> Is this the right place to ask about ubuntu samba?
[01:05] <KujiUn> How do you add a wireless network?
[01:05] <johnnny> whats a system usergroup ? ... no shell access simply ?
[01:05] <BlackBatMan> i can just think about rdesktop but know nothing else to transfer data effectively
[01:05] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: this usually puts them off, which is of course the intended effect
[01:05] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  you can also try asking in channel #winehq
[01:05] <BlackBatMan> anybody?
[01:05] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: for copying files?
[01:05] <luke_> Izinucs, it shows a bunch of other stuff but none of it is nvidia
[01:05] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: you could use Samba on the linux machine
[01:05] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp transfer a file from linux to windows...yup
[01:06] <newb101> whats i program i can use to sync videos to an ipod video?
[01:06] <Izinucs> luke_: is this system using the regular ubuntu repo's or one that is designed only for the eeepc
[01:06] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp, i'll look that up, thanks
[01:06] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: just "a file" - only one - or many many files?
[01:06] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: if it's just one you could probably do something with scp
[01:06] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp either way
[01:06] <luke_> Izinucs, whats the repos
[01:06] <gordonjcp> well, that would work for lots
[01:06] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp either way
[01:06] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: but Samba would actually let it show up as a windows share
[01:06] <eljaco> BlackBatMan: go to the folder you want to share and click on "Sharing options"
[01:06] <gordonjcp> which is probably what you want, eh
[01:07] <Chaorain> I just get an error when my Vista laptop tries to read my Ubuntu Samba shares but not my knoppix shares
[01:07] <Izinucs> luke_: that's what synaptic looks at for programs/drivers etc that are available for download.
[01:07] <BlackBatMan> eljaco, you made it a bit complicated
[01:07] <eljaco> BlackBatMan: right-clicking on a folder is complicated?
[01:07] <Izinucs> luke_: in synaptic go to Settings>Repositories
[01:08] <luke_> Izinucs, it is the eeeubuntu that we installed if that answers it...
[01:08] <KujiUn> Excuse me, but how do you add a wireless network?
[01:08] <BlackBatMan> lol :)
[01:08] <luke_> Izinucs, He says its showing 71,173, and 177 now
[01:08] <Izinucs> luke_: suddenly? or did he do something different?
[01:08] <balzac> Hello
[01:08] <wolter> how do i install the python 2.6 in ubuntu intrepid? is there some repository i can add?
[01:08] <eljaco> KujiUn: do you have network-manager installed?
[01:08] <Flynsarmy> I think i've made a bluetooth connection with my phone. how do i transfer files to and from it?
[01:09] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp how does jamba basically work?
[01:09] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: in what sense?
[01:09] <luke_> Izinucs, he clicked the 96 aand then mark for installation and he tried to install and it said failed then showed the others
[01:09] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp made to simply transfer files?
[01:09] <Izinucs> luke_: nice.. have him install the 177
[01:09] <balzac> I have a custom version of Ubuntu with a kernel for my netbook. I want to add general Ubuntu Intrepid repositories without putting my special kernel at risk for being updated to the default kernel.
[01:10] <balzac> What should I add to my sources so I get all the apps but no new kernel updates?
[01:10] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: well lets you set up something that will appear as a share on your Windows network
[01:10] <BlackBatMan> BlackBatMan, it looks difficult to even  install, i'm not a good computer guy
[01:10] <luke_> Izinucs, failed to fetch
[01:10] <Izinucs> luke_: after that's been done.. and it should also install nvidia-settings.. you'll need to log out, and reboot.. don't ctrl+alt+backspace
[01:10] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: <shrug>
[01:10] <BlackBatMan> oh
[01:10] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp mmmm
[01:10] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: I haven't used it for years, and I don't really know much about Windows
[01:10] <KujiUn> eljaco: Is it already included in Ubuntu?
[01:11] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: I know there's loads of stuff about it in the ubuntu forums
[01:11] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp thank you gordon
[01:11] <eljaco> KujiUn: it should be - do you see two little computers on the panel? Or something resembling a network?
[01:12] <Izinucs> luke_: check Settings/repositories and see what's in there
[01:12] <antiver> meoblast001 repair xorg.conf at bootup (not 100% sure, i'm a noob, but it's what i would try first)
[01:12] <eljaco> KujiUn: better yet, go to System > Preferences > Network Configuration
[01:12] <luke_> Izinucs, turns out there was a problem with internet, 177 is downloading
[01:12] <fiasco> I have a fat32 external hard drive that I wan't to be to store 4GB+ files on. Do I have to convert the format. Will Ubuntu still be able to read and write to it if its NFTS?
[01:12] <Izinucs> luke_: you were making me wonder there for a while.
[01:12] <fiasco> wan't => want
[01:12] <eljaco> KujiUn: should be pretty simple after that
[01:13] <dean> My windows antivirus tries to scan my ubuntu partition and it goes into a loop trying to process the symlinks.
[01:13] <dean> Should I just disable checking the Linux partition?
[01:13] <SlimeyPete> yes
[01:13] <Izinucs> fiasco: yes to the ntfs question.. but why not use ext3
[01:13] <balzac> what intrepid repository should I add so I can get emacs without automatic kernel updates? I have an eee pc with a special kernel which is why I can't just use the regular repositories.
[01:13] <KujiUn> eljaco: There wasn't an option for wireless.
[01:13] <fiasco> Izinucs: whats the advantage?
[01:14] <Izinucs> dean: yes.. configure so it doesn't touch the linux partition
[01:14] <Flynsarmy> Whats a GUI i can use for transferring files over bluetooth?
[01:14] <balzac> I want emacs, gimp, and all the regular apps, but no kernel updates. help meh.
[01:14] <dean> balzac: use apt pinning
[01:14] <dean> fiasco
[01:14] <fiasco> dean: no real need to scan a linux parition for viruses aye
[01:14] <balzac> dean, thanks
[01:14] <balzac> I'll look it up
[01:15] <dean> thanks
[01:15] <Izinucs> fiasco: ext3 is native to ubuntu and can be read by windows with a 3rd party driver. it journaled like ntfs so it's much harder to loose info. also it's able to handle 4gig files easier.. I would question ntfs for that
[01:15] <KujiUn> eljaco: This is what I have: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/360940/terminal_stuff.txt
[01:16] <eljaco> KujiUn: see if this helps: http://www.linux.com/feature/56946
[01:16] <tank__> i installe ubuntu on one of my hard drives (with vista on another), but not grub won't let me boot up vista. does anyone know how i can fix that?
[01:16] <johnnny> Lets say i want to create a user/usergroup that will be running a deamon. I'll probably also want a homedir for that user to contain the deamon application.  What type of user should i do ?
[01:17] <fiasco> Izinucs: so to use ext3 on windows, windows needs a 3rd party driver?, is this easy enough to do? Also, so you have a tut handy on converting hardisks from FAT32 to ex3?
[01:17] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp i installed samba with the Synaptic Package Manager
[01:17] <fiasco> ext3 that is :)
[01:17]  * fiasco googles
[01:17] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp what is the command to run it? do have any idea?
[01:17] <johnnny> Is it a system user that I'd need ?
[01:17] <dean> fiasco: this is the driver: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd
[01:17] <bobbob1016> I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10, with an nVidia 8200 on the mobo and the proprietary drivers.  I'm getting a text login, and can't start the gui, /etc/init.d/gdm restart seems to work, says restarting ok, but nothing happens, any ideas?
[01:17] <DasEi> fiasco: quite simple, google ext2tonfs
[01:17] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: check the forums, I haven't used it in a long long time and I've forgotten
[01:17] <BlackBatMan> command to run samba anyone?
[01:17] <fiasco> dean: thats
[01:18] <dean> fiasco: this one also works but it is not open source http://www.fs-driver.org/
[01:18] <Izinucs> fiasco: sudo apt-get install gparted .. do this in a terminal.. then look in System>Admin>Partition manager .. that will allow you to reformat it to ext3
[01:18] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: it's a server, it's not something you run like a program
[01:18] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: /etc/init.d/samba start ?
[01:18] <DasEi> fiasco: quite simple, google ext2tnfs, sry
[01:18] <fiasco> thanks*
[01:18] <johnnny> BlackBatMan:  or /etc/init.d/smb start !?
[01:19] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: your config files are probably in the /etc/samba/ folder.
[01:19] <Izinucs> luke_: update?
[01:19] <fiasco> thanks alot guys. heaps of help you all are :)
[01:19] <DasEi> johnnny: samba start
[01:19] <johnnny> oh, even simpler :P
[01:19] <johnnny> i dig to much sometimes
[01:19] <eljaco> can anyone help me figure out what is wrong with my X server? it starts up, but I can't use my mouse or keyboard
[01:19] <DasEi> johnnny: eerm, /etc/init.d/samba start
[01:19] <BlackBatMan> johnnny you want to work through this quickly and briefly?
[01:19] <Izinucs> luke_: did he put this on a standard laptop?
[01:19] <johnnny> Oh
[01:19] <johnnny> ok ok
[01:20] <dean> eljaco: can you try upgrading
[01:20] <BlackBatMan> johnnny i don't know how to configure files
[01:20] <johnnny> DasEi:  just staying which one :)
[01:20] <fiasco> Izinucs: does my harddisk ned to be clean? will I lose the data on it?
[01:20] <eljaco> dean: upgrading to what? do you mean apt-get upgrade?
[01:20] <dean> eljaco: yes
[01:20] <Gerinych> does anyone use bitpim here?
[01:20] <Izinucs> fiasco: you will loose all all the data if you format it.
[01:20] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: i have noooooooooo clue how to do the setup of the samba configuration files ;)
[01:20] <jscinoz> I'm running pulseaudio systemwide, but it still starts per user, how do i disable pulseaudio startup from each user's session?
[01:21] <BlackBatMan> johnnny my issue is basically having to transfer a file from linux to a windows machine
[01:21] <eljaco> dean: well, I just installed a new wireless card, so I don't have a connection
[01:21] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: I SCP in the machine..
[01:21] <BlackBatMan> johnnny understood
[01:21] <BlackBatMan> SCP?
[01:21] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: i use WinSCP...
[01:21] <eljaco> dean: it says there is nothing upgradable when I run apt-get upgrade
[01:21] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: try downloading it on your winbox, and login to your server as you would via ssh.
[01:22] <DasEi> johnnny: it's /etc/samba/smb.conf, but tell if I disturb you, may also type !samba in the channel
[01:22] <johnnnny> DasEi: it's for BlackBatMan :)
[01:23] <dean> eljaco: the keyboard and the mouse don't work or is it just the mouse
[01:23] <DasEi> johnnny: ah, alright, got it wrong then :)
[01:23] <johnnnny> on my side, i think i'll do a system user :oS
[01:23] <johnnnny> but i'm not sure if it's what i need.
[01:23] <BlackBatMan> johnnny basic steps ? ..... download/install into my windows machine?
[01:23] <heatmzzr> anyone know what i have to get to play mms streams on my ubuntu
[01:23] <eljaco> dean: both keyboard and mouse - but I can hit ctrl+alt+F1 and go to the terminal session
[01:23] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: very simple..get the Installer version :)
[01:24] <Chaorain> Can someone help my vista laptop see my Ubuntu samba shares?
[01:24] <eljaco> dean: aside from switching sessions, I can't do anything else
[01:24] <Royall> I'm on Linux Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. My wireless card (built in to my Dell Inspiron laptop) is not being recognized. I've installed ndiswrapper.
[01:24] <Royall> Still nothing.
[01:24] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: download this: http://winscp.net/download/winscp418setup.exe
[01:24] <Royall> What should I do next after installing it?
[01:24] <Royall> Does it need a reboot?
[01:24] <DasEi> Chaorain: samba up and running ? no firewalls blocking ?
[01:24] <tank__> i installed ubuntu on one of my hard drives (with vista on the other) and now i can't boot windows, does anyone know how to fix this?
[01:24] <n8tuser> Royall -> is the ON/OFF switch into the ON position?
[01:25] <eljaco> dean: in case it's related, I get a "User Switcher" error when I start X, although when I start normally (not in recovery mode) I can't even type anything in the login screen
[01:25] <Royall> I'm going to assume that wasn't a joke, and say that the wireless card is turned on.
[01:25] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: thats the windows installer of WinSCP (a FTP, SFTP, SCP, .. client)
[01:25] <jscinoz> I'm running pulseaudio systemwide, but it still starts per user, how do i disable pulseaudio startup from each user's session?
[01:25] <ceil420> anyone use SCIM and know how to stop it from 'exiting abnormally'? http://rafb.net/p/TMAIWP95.html
[01:25] <dean> dean: it might be that gdm is started before HAL
[01:26] <dean> sorry s/dean/eljaco/g
[01:26] <johnnnny> dean talking to himself again ?
[01:26] <Chaorain> DasEi, I can't tell if Samba is running but my firewall is disabled
[01:26] <heatmzzr> anyone know what i have to get to play mms streams on my ubuntu????
[01:26] <eljaco> dean: haha - ok, is there a way I can check that?
[01:26] <KujiUn> I got this, but I can't seem to get my wireless network: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/360940/terminal_stuff.txt
[01:26] <dean> eljaco: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove && sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults 99 01
[01:26] <Chaorain> DasEi, Vista sees ubuntu but can't read any folders
[01:26] <n8tuser> Royall -> what does sudo ndiswrapper -l     shows?
[01:26] <DasEi> Chaorain:sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart   or look with htop
[01:26] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: how's that going ? :)
[01:27] <Royall> ls: cannot access /etc/ndiswrapper: No such file or directory
[01:27] <dean> eljaco: well you could restart gdm through ssh
[01:27] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: or you could try to get your Samba service to work :P
[01:27] <n8tuser> !who | Royall
[01:27] <DasEi> Chaorain:configured /etc/samba/smb.conf ?
[01:27] <BlackBatMan> johnnny download process through rdesktop
[01:27] <johnnnny> k
[01:27] <Royall> n8tuser: 'ls: cannot access /etc/ndiswrapper: No such file or directory'
[01:27] <dean> eljaco: by doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:27] <Chaorain> DasEi, htop not installed. Let me check smb.conf
[01:27] <dean> eljaco: i think it needs sudo
[01:27] <eljaco> dean: i did that, but i still can't type anything or move the mouse
[01:28] <n8tuser> Royall -> look for your ndiswrapper,
[01:28] <BlackBatMan> johnnny i have two interfaces, which do you recommend for my task?
[01:28] <eljaco> dean: the cursor is blinking though, so I assume it's not frozen
[01:28] <Royall> n8tuser: where would I look for it and how would I know if I've found it
[01:28] <dean> eljaco: is it a USB or ps2 mouse and what kind of mouse is it
[01:28] <BlackBatMan> johnnny i see mmmmm, norton commander interface and explorer-like interface
[01:28] <eljaco> dean:both are USB

[01:30] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: create a "NEW" connection
[01:30] <kerlo> Why would a network interface that shows up in ifconfig -a not show up in Network Tools?

[01:31] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: let me know if you manage to go threw the process of createing a new connection, saving it, and connecting to your linux machine.
[01:31] <meoblast> i don't know what package contains the

[01:32] <johnnnny> Oh
[01:32] <BlackBatMan> :(
[01:32] <n2diy> gnome-panel is using 50% of my memory, when I kill it it, it respawns, what is the parent process?
[01:32] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: Do you have a user account on your linux box ?
[01:32] <sudobash> hey with avant windows manager doing the OSX dock it shows like a list of blank boxes
[01:32] <n8tuser> kerlo -> if you learned the command line to configure such, it would greatly help
[01:32] <BlackBatMan> i have my own and probably two more user accounts
[01:32] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: do you know the IP of that box ?
[01:32] <sudobash> right over the trash icon
[01:33] <kerlo> That's probably true.
[01:33] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny no

[01:33] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: is this on your home network ?
[01:33] <sycho> SO I just instaled 8.10 x64 and after enabling the ATI drivers my xorg went screwy. I am now prompted to login by terminal and when I try to run 'startx' I get the error "no screens found". I've tried replacing xorg.conf and trying to fix it but neither has not helped. I've also ran all updates using "apt-get upgrade". I've also tried using "X -configure" but also exits with an error. Any ideas on how to fix this or at least "remove" t
[01:33] <harley> I accidently right clicked one of my icons and clicked "remove from panel"
[01:33] <harley> how do I bring it back?
[01:33] <Dr_willis> right click on the panel.. add applets to panel
[01:33] <kerlo> I'll see what happens when I set the ssid and encryption type and key and ifup it.
[01:33] <fwaokda> I can't get ubuntu to notice my wireless card can someone try and help me? I have a RTL8187SE wireless card in my msi wind u100-420.
[01:34] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny these two computers are connected to the same router
[01:34] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: can you type "ifconfig" on a shell on your linux and find your IP ?
[01:34] <jrib> sycho: how did you install the ati drivers?
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> !realtek | fwaokda
[01:34] <n8tuser> sycho -> umm try the livecd and copy the xorg.conf that works from the livecd ?
[01:35] <sycho> jrib: When I first entered gnome ubuntu said they where available to download and enable, the little hardware icon in the top right corner.
[01:35] <n8tuser> !wireless | fwaokda   start reading this please and then once you read we can discuss ..
[01:35] <harley> Dr_willis: It's not in the list. It was Emesene (instant messenger) that docks in the tray, but now when it docks I can't see it
[01:35] <fwaokda> IndyGunFreak, seems thats for the b and not SE :(
[01:35] <Dr_willis> harley,  could be the program itself runs and adds an icon to the systray
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> fwaokda: then you're probably gonna have to use the powers of google, i've not heard of SE
[01:35] <luke_> Isn't there a more user friendly Linux distro then Ubuntu?
[01:35] <luke_> One with a lot less terminal use, downloads, etc?
[01:35] <Dr_willis> harley,  check the program settings perhaps. Ive never used that one.
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: lmao.. how could that be possible?
[01:36] <lifenova> luke_: matter of opinion...
[01:36] <luke_> How couldn't it? :p
[01:36] <_Vi_> not possible
[01:36] <kerlo> luke_: I believe Ubuntu is generally considered the most user-friendly.
[01:36] <n8tuser> luke_ -> what is your purpose?
[01:36] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: still following ?
[01:36] <harley> Dr_willis: it's something to do with removing it from panel, because now it isn't showing when it should
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: what are you having a problem with, ubuntu is by far the most newb friendly distro
[01:36] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny .... i'll show you the ouput in a sec
[01:36] <luke_> Well like with Ubuntu I had trroble getting wireless drivers
[01:36] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: i'm sure you can find the IP in there yourself !:)
[01:36] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i see no ip
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: you'll have that problem w/ any distro.. did you get it workin
[01:36] <johnnnny> oh
[01:36] <luke_> So I used EEEbuntu, which I had for my netbook
[01:36] <n8tuser> luke_ -> just my preference.. suse
[01:36] <johnnnny> Use a USB key instead ? Lol
[01:37] <luke_> But thats made for netbooks, so I might have problems with that
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee > luke_
[01:37] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: use a USB key instead maybe ?
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: you've still not stated your problem, did you nnot get yuour wireless working w/ normal ubuntu?
[01:37] <fwaokda> n8tuser: unless im missing something you sent me a pretty general link with alot of information on the wireless in ubuntu. Do I really need to read all of that for you to be able to help me?
[01:37] <DasEi> Chaorain:  can also look at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/
[01:37] <luke_> Thanks Jack, I got it on my netbook
[01:37] <Dr_willis> luke_,  i had some issues ith using eeebuntu on a normal desktop machine.. but the thing did install a normal  Kernel also. Youmay want to boot it with that. via editing the menu.lst
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: i have a normal ubuntu running on my eee, no problem at all.
[01:37] <n2diy> gnome-panel is using 50% of my memory, when I kill it it, it respawns, what is the parent process, or how do I ID it?
[01:37] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny yup i got it
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> luke_ Are you running eee-ubuntu or regular ubuntu..
[01:37] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: show me your output in a pastebin,  and i'll see.. but maybe you have no network connection working on your machine ?
[01:37] <luke_> I couldn't get the wireless drivers
[01:38] <harley> Dr_willis: I just checked program options, nothing in there
[01:38] <n8tuser> fwaokda -> its a start for you, get the gist out from it, so you get an idea how to troubleshoot it yourself if we were not here
[01:38] <sycho> jrib: Any ideas?
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: well if the eee is working out of the box, then you have the AR242x, right?
[01:38] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: so you got the IP ?
[01:38] <DasEi> n2diy: try top or htop to see what does this
[01:38] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i have it but i don't know if it's safe to send it to you
[01:38] <johnnnny> DOnT!
[01:38] <luke_> Weell I just instaled EEEbuntu on my desktop and it apparently doesnt have the drivers for my internet like it did on my netbook and my friends laptop
[01:38] <johnnnny> i don't want it
[01:38] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny ok
[01:38] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: DOn't send it, i want you to know it! :)
[01:38] <BlackBatMan> ok
[01:39] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: and now in windows... In WinSCP, in the Host name: you type your IP
[01:39] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: Username: and Password: i think you know what those are too!
[01:39] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: what exactly are you trying to get working, your eee, or are you trying to get a normal ubuntu install on your eee, or did you put ubuntu eee on a non-eee pc?
[01:39] <n2diy> DasEi: I am running top, but I haven't tried killing it with top, let me try that.
[01:39] <luke_> Third one.  I got the first one working.
[01:39] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: and than, you can <Save> or  simply <Login> and try !:)
[01:39] <johnnnny> than = then
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: ok.... so you put ubuntu eee, on a non-ee PC.. just want to make sure i followl.
[01:40] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, right, hoping it would have the proper wireless drivers like it did for my friends non eee laptop
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: ok, did it?
[01:40] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, nope
[01:40] <MisterKM> Hey all, can someone PM me to help me with a webcam?
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: well whats your wireless device you can't get working
[01:41] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny Error "Network error: Connection refused
[01:41] <johnnnny> hummm
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> !webcam | MisterKM
[01:41] <MisterKM> I've already done that Indy.
[01:41] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny "OK" "Reconnect" "Help"
[01:41] <johnnnny> OK
[01:41] <BlackBatMan> johnnnn windows firewall?
[01:41] <luke_> IndyGunFreak,  wmp54gs
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: that tells me nothing.. what chipset was it.
[01:41] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: probably not windows firewall
[01:42] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, chipset?
[01:42] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: did you open OpenSSH ?
[01:42] <Nikyo> Hi
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> MisterKM: wel, then you'er probably screwed...lol, webcam support isn't very good in Linux
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: atheros, intel, broadcom, realtek?
[01:42] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i have here "file protocol /???
[01:42] <harley> does anybody here use an instant messenger client?
[01:42] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny and allow scp fallback
[01:42] <Nikyo> yep Pidgin
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> harley: for IRC?
[01:42] <harley> anything
[01:42] <harley> well the problem is
[01:42] <DasEi>  harley: pidgin, yes
[01:42] <harley> mine isn't showing in tray anymore
[01:43] <harley> how do I bring it back?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> harley: i use a messenger client, but definitely not for IRC.
[01:43] <lifenova> harley: yep, pidgin
[01:43] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: i usually don't touch anything...
[01:43] <DasEi>  harley: pidgin, yes
[01:43] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny mmhmm ok
[01:43] <lifenova> harley: like a launcher?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> harley: you probably accidentally deleted notification area on your panel.. add it back.
[01:43] <DasEi>  harley: which one do you use ?
[01:43] <MisterKM> Indy, I tried some info on the help site, its not coming up as the detected information, what came up is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109177/
[01:43] <harley> not a launcher
[01:43] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: 1 sec
[01:43] <harley> IndyGunFreak: how do I bring it back?
[01:43] <redvamp128> harley:  try adding back the notification area to your panels
[01:43] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, linksys
[01:43] <harley> I need the notification icon, not launcher
[01:43] <harley> how?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> harley: right click your panel, add to panel, add notification area
[01:43] <lifenova> harley: Right click the pannel, press add, and scroll to notification area
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: if yuou won't answer a question, i'm not gonna try to help you.
[01:44] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I thought I just did
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: was linksys in that lis t i gave you?
[01:44] <harley> thank you Indy and lifenova.
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> thats a device manufacturer, i asked you for the chipset.
[01:44] <harley> and redvamp
[01:44] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I had to pull it out of my case.  I dont know, dont have the list anymore
[01:44] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: if you type (in linux) :  ps -A | grep sshd           do you get anything listed ?
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> luke_:  are you on it right now?
[01:44] <harley> DasEi: I'm using Emesene
[01:45] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: and, can you technically remote access your linux box ? (Did you install the OpenSSH server)?
[01:45] <luke_> IndyGunFreak,  let me put it back in and run lspci
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[01:45] <DasEi>  harley: .. and got your answer as I read
[01:45] <KujiUn> Is there a way to export Wubi stuff into a brand new Ubuntu?
[01:45] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny no output for ps -A | grep sshd
[01:45] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, would it be broadcom?
[01:45] <Chaorain> DasEi, I went through the site tutorial but how do I start samba?
[01:45] <johnnnny> Aaah
[01:46] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny if i knew i would have known
[01:46] <johnnnny> Guys, how do you get a a ssh server going on a machine that doesn't have it installed (it seems)
[01:46] <BlackBatMan> ... the openssh
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: it could be, but broadcom could be your regular ethernet port to... does the broadcom say its a wireless device?
[01:46] <DasEi> Chaorain:  /etc/init.d/samba/(re-)start
[01:46] <johnnnny> hope someone answers :P
[01:46] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, wireless lan controller
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: then thats it.. ..
[01:46] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny ok, thnks for trying
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> !broadcom | luke_
[01:47] <johnnnny> probably something like: apt-get install openSSH       but...
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: and to my knowledge, i don't think broadcom works out fo the box w/ any distro, could be wrong though
[01:47] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i'll try sypnatic manager
[01:47] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: once you get that sshd thing installed.... you'll be able to remote-access your linux box with a windows client like Putty
[01:48] <johnnnny> !openssh
[01:48] <DasEi> IndyGunFreak: xp not, too
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> DasEi: is that right?.. thats surprising
[01:48] <Chaorain> DasEi, I did sudo /etc/init.d/samba start but vista can't read. restarting vista.
[01:48] <s1ma0> hi all
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i have a couple of similar results.... I have a 320 gig hard drive, should i just install all of it?
[01:49] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: ya, the synaptic manager should help you
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny ok
[01:49] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: not necessarely..
[01:49] <DasEi> Chaorain:  you made the share browseable, you chowned a dir to the samba user (that exists on the ubu-pc) ?
[01:49] <SirFunk> hi... is there a way in APT to protect certain packages (aka. make sure they get pulled from a speciffic repo and not overwritten by anything else)?
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i don't know which one to install
[01:49] <johnnnny> you just want the SSH Deamon basically..  (BUT WAIT)
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> ok
[01:50] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: somebody that knows needs to tell you which one exactly :)
[01:50] <johnnnny> patience :P
[01:50] <hec_> hello, can someone help me to activate my atheros wlan card in a acer laptop aspire 3680?
[01:50] <johnnnny> it might be all of what you found, but i can't tell
[01:50] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I think i  have the driver, move to flash drive and put it on Ubuntu?
[01:50] <Chaorain> I own the directory and I made me a samba user
[01:50] <jtaji> BlackBatMan: openssh-server
[01:51] <johnnnny> thanks :)
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: i honestly don't mess w/ broadcom much, i've been fortunate and have always had atheros, which i've always gotten to work w/ little fuss
[01:51] <DasEi> Chaorain: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:51] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: u got that!? :)
[01:51] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, but is that what you'd reccommend I'd do?
[01:51] <s1ma0> who can i install playonlinux ?
[01:51] <BlackBatMan> jtaji johnnnny ok thanks
[01:51] <DasEi> Chaorain: pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: i'd recommend youf ollow the instructions in that link i gave you...
[01:51] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny yup
[01:51] <DasEi> Chaorain: url from last cmd?
[01:51] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: get this Windows Tool too!!: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
[01:52] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: PuTTY
[01:52] <BlackBatMan> mmm
[01:52] <Chaorain> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f351b8cef
[01:52] <johnnnny> doesn't look safe of a site, but it's official !:)
[01:52] <BlackBatMan> it crashed
[01:52] <BlackBatMan>  i need to kill a process i think

[01:52] <cjae_> for anyone having troubles with realtek ethernet cards and dual boot sernarios http://reynantem.blogspot.com/2008/12/ubuntu-810-ethernet-problem-solved.html
[01:52] <BlackBatMan> ...yup
[01:53] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: let it run...
[01:53]  * lyricnz is loooong time redhat user, installing his first ubuntu server (in a VM, for an appliance application).
[01:53] <DVA5912> I have php and apache installed but im not about to run php files. What command can i use to make php part of the apache config
[01:53] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: don't kill if it's still workng :)
[01:53] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: it might be fetching stuff from the web..
[01:53] <Rencx> !laptop
[01:53] <lyricnz> Does anyone have a pre-made kick start file, for a minimal install - or do I have to install ubuntu first, then run the kickstart generator tool?
[01:53] <balzac> Hello again
[01:54] <Dr_willis> lyricnz,  check out the ubuntu 'JEOS' edition - for a minimal ubuntu setup
[01:54] <meoblast> what program can i use to monitor  my CPU temperature?
[01:54] <con-man> how do I select a different audio device
[01:54] <con-man> I did it on the sound menu
[01:54] <lyricnz> Dr_willis: thanks  (googles)
[01:54] <con-man> nothing change
[01:54] <con-man> do I need to stop and start a service?
[01:54] <n8tuser> lyricnz -> if am not mistaken something akin to kickstart is debian-installer or d-i  for short
[01:54] <balzac> I'm trying to get emacs through aptitude, but I have this ubuntu-derivative for netbooks
[01:54] <Dr_willis> lyricnz,  its like some ultraminimal ubuntu for 'appliances' and stuff if i recall
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i just checked openssh-server, but it seems to be doing something
[01:55] <Dr_willis> balzac,  eeebuntu here lets me install everything i can on a normal ubuntu install.
[01:55] <LEX_WELL> I cannot compile c programs
[01:55] <Flannel> jeOS is designed for virtualization, not netbooks.
[01:55] <balzac> Dr_willis: is it intrepid?
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> must be dependicy hell
[01:55]  * lyricnz is building a linux-based VM to act as a testing-slave for large-scale automated testing.
[01:55] <DasEi> Chaorain:you havent set up a share
[01:55] <LEX_WELL> can anybody help me
[01:55] <lyricnz> I've been using fedora/redhat forever, but it's minimal install....aint
[01:55] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: it should tell you what the dependencies are, I think.
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> ?
[01:55] <Royall> n8tuser: I installed the correct driver onto ndiswrapper
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> i'm locked
[01:56] <Royall> But there's still no connection
[01:56] <Dr_willis> LEX_WELL,  FAQ - :) install build-essential package. for the C compiler stuff
[01:56] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: great :(
[01:56] <lyricnz> I looked at centos/rhel, but ubuntu might be a nice change ;)
[01:56] <BlackBatMan> i'll try the terminal
[01:56] <n8tuser> Royall -> are you sure you have ndiswrapper installed?  try  ndiswrapper -l
[01:56] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: hummm... right :)
[01:56] <Chaorain2> DasEi, if you said anything I missed it. IRC hung
[01:56] <pyro2927> can can I open a split archive? I'm trying to open a set of .rar, .00, .01...... and so on with archive manager but it doesnt work
[01:56] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: your good for that .. ? :)
[01:56] <Royall> n8tuser: I tried it, it showed my driver name thing... 'bcmwl6 : driver installed	device (14E4:4315) present (alternate driver: wl)'
[01:57] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i see progress
[01:57] <johnnnny> :)
[01:57] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny done
[01:57] <n8tuser> Royall -> can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces
[01:57] <Dr_willis> pyro2927,  i just 'unrar e whatever.r00.rar  or whatever the first one is
[01:57] <DasEi> Chaorain2:you havent set up a share nor made your home-directories readable
[01:57] <DVA5912> I have php and apache installed but im not about to run php files. What command can i use to make php part of the apache config
[01:57] <Royall> n8tuser: I'm using Wicd to configure the network. I have ndiswrapper selected as the driver there
[01:57] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: great :)
[01:57] <johnnnny> now..
[01:57] <BlackBatMan> a;slkjfa;df :)
[01:57] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: did you get Putty too ?
[01:57] <johnnnny> (for windows)
[01:58] <Chaorain2> dasEi, oops um. How do?
[01:58] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: or just try WinSCP again :)
[01:58] <DasEi> Chaorain2:you want a specific share dir or browse the home folders ?
[01:58] <pyro2927> Dr_ willis, apparently i didnt have the unrar package installed. ha
[01:58] <lyricnz> Dr_willis: joes is actually built into the standard server install now (press F4 at first screen, and select install a minimal virtual machine)
[01:58] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: i should actually ask you to do : ps -A | grep sshd        before, to not waste time.
[01:59] <con-man> how do I select a different audio device
[01:59] <con-man> I did it on the sound menu
[01:59] <con-man> nothing change
[01:59] <con-man> do I need to stop and start a service?
[01:59] <BlackBatMan> ok
[01:59] <FloodBot2> con-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:59] <LEX_WELL> Dr_willis : thanks!

[02:00] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I transferred this file the guyy has for the driver to my computer, he says to open these 2 files which are .sh or enter the text into terminal, shouldn't it pull up as terminal insteaad of a text file then?
[02:00] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan:  whatever it suggests! :)
[02:00] <DVA5912> I have php and apache installed but im not about to run php files. What command can i use to make php part of the apache config. Like a mod probe or something modprobe-php5 i dont know the exact code

[02:15] <bliZZardz> i did _something_ last week to get my sounds working on Hardy(64 bit) and hve started getting a screeching sound since then. it is like some noise.

[02:19] <kerlo> "Alguem pode me dar" closely resembles Spanish. I imagine it's Portuguese or something similar.
[02:19] <DasEi> joljam: ubottu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[02:19] <Rencx> How can i fix sound in java programs? My sound in java dont work...

[02:22] <sylvia_fuentes> hey guys I put 8.10 live on my usb via unetbootin and I have a 8GB usb drive but it took up almost the entire drive when the file is only 700mb so is there a program that I can use to repartition the usb drive so I can put other stuff on there?
[02:22] <dexxxtor> #ubuntu-de
[02:22] <AlgorithmicContr> Can anyone tell me why OO has been eating up 900 MiB of virtual memory when I only have one document open with just one page of nothing but text? I'm running 8.10 and OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 Build 9376

[02:23] <kerlo> When I try to ifup wlan0, I get this: http://pastebin.ca/1317633
[02:23] <kerlo> I find the "No such file or directory" errors rather weird.
[02:23] <El> what is wrong arcutecture i136?
[02:24] <rdw200169> El, the only drawback to i386 is the RAM limitation to 4Gig
[02:24] <El> what is wrong arcutecture 1386
[02:24] <rdw200169> El, that is *it*

[02:24] <Dr_willis> I find my video reencoding does work faster under 64bit. :)

[02:24] <El>  <rdw200169> so what do i do?
[02:24] <Dr_willis> but thts proberly due to the binareies beign a bit mor eoptmized :) to some degree
[02:24] <kerlo> El: what is your goal?
[02:24] <El> V i wont let me install adobe flash or crossover
[02:24] <jpedroza> Evening all. I am running ndiswrapper with a Netgear WG311v3 wireless card. I can see the card, and the card can see networks, but will not associate. Anyone else using this card with Intrepid?
wont let me install adobe flash or crossover
[02:25] <DasEi> Chaorain2:was a bad idea, as you hve to write to it still, sudo chmod 777 /dir/whatever
[02:25] <_Vi_> El type rdw and press tab
[02:25] <bliZZardz> unop:  i have removed sendmail-but it still shows up during boot and hogs time.
[02:26] <El> rdw200169,
[02:26] <_Vi_> neat hah? :)

[02:26] <mv0> hellanzb is amazing lol
[02:27] <Rencx> How can i fix sound in java programs? My sound in java dont work...
[02:27] <kpuljek> is 10% cpu usage when completely idle normal?
[02:27] <unop> bliZZardz,  sudo update-rc.d -f sendmail remove
[02:27] <_Vi_> El nevermind i thought you were pasting his nick cause you keep putting <around> his nick, maybe it's your client
[02:28] <El> can any one help me with the i386 error?!?!?!
[02:28] <bliZZardz> unop: i dont have a /etc/rc.d !
[02:28] <Dr_willis> EL if you are using 64bit  you need 64bit packages
[02:28] <bliZZardz> unop: have /etc/rc.local instead
[02:28] <bliZZardz> unop: is that a problem?
 im not using a 64 bit prossesor im using an intel centrino duo
[02:29] <joljam> can anyone send me the xorg.conf file used for a laptop with a Planar LCD monitor attached
[02:29] <unop> bliZZardz, what's /etc/rc.d got to do with anything here?  and it's not a debian/ubuntu directory .. and that's normal.
[02:29] <gerber> help with remote destop
[02:29] <baseballer790[Np> Shut up
[02:29] <Dr_willis> el that is a 64bit cpu..  i think.. what version/bit of ubuntu did you install? 32 or 64bit?
[02:29] <bliZZardz> unop: ok.let me restart now
[02:29] <unop> baseballer790[Np, what's that for?
[02:29] <Chaorain2> DasEi, I think we are going after the wrong problem. Vista says it can't access DAN-DESKTOP (my ubuntu computer)
[02:29] <baseballer790[Np> Shut up nigger
[02:30] <_Vi_> !ohmy
[02:30] <unop> !ops baseballer790[Np
[02:30] <unop> !ops
[02:30] <_Vi_> gotta love that mission pipe command
[02:30] <baseballer790[Np> !ops
[02:30] <Cpudan80> Guys
[02:31] <Cpudan80> For your information, the ops command makes a loud, annoying noise on the ops computer
[02:31] <Cpudan80> Please use it only in real emergencies
[02:31] <rdw200169> El, on a i386 version of ubuntu?
 i think 32 i just installed using a wubi installer
[02:31] <Royall_> n8tuser: Every time I boot, it doesn't recognize the card, and then when I deactivate and then reactivate the Broadcom STA driver, it does after that
[02:32] <unop> Cpudan80, that's understandable but that behaviour we just saw is intolerable as per the CoC right?
[02:32] <DasEi> Chaorain2:you don't get a login screen ?
 i dont think so it shows when i wanna install pacages
[02:32] <Chaorain2> DasEi, nope
[02:32] <kerlo> Cpudan80: what constitutes a real emergency?
[02:32] <jimisrvrox> hey guys I put ubuntu 8.10 live on my usb via unetbootin and I have a 8GB usb drive but it took up almost the entire drive when the file is only 700mb so is there a program that I can use to repartition the usb drive so I can put other stuff on there?
[02:32] <Cpudan80> Well
[02:32] <Cpudan80> That was probably an ok time to use it
[02:32] <Cpudan80> but only use it once
[02:32] <Cpudan80> unless nobody comes around
[02:32] <DasEi> Chaorain2:sudo ufw disable             ,try again
[02:32]  * kerlo nods
[02:32] <n8tuser> Royall ->  you still have not confirmed for me the results of  ndiwrapper -l
[02:33] <_Vi_> jimisrvrox: try gparted
[02:33] <n8tuser> Royall -> can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces
[02:33] <unop> Cpudan80, my mistake .. didn't realize the first call went through .. though ubottu complained
[02:33] <Dr_willis> el -  i dont use wubi so  no idea on that.. rephrase/restate/clarify your excat problem to the whole channel - perhaps someone knos more on the topic then i do
[02:33] <Keeganator> Problem: I formatted a partition to NTFS in ubuntu and windows install wont pick it up.
[02:33] <Royall_> n8tuser: I did though. Here it is again:
[02:33] <Royall_> bcmwl6 : driver installed
[02:33] <Royall_> 	device (14E4:4315) present (alternate driver: wl)
[02:33] <El> rdw200169> wait yes its non ubuntu 8.10
[02:33] <n8tuser> !who | Royall
[02:34] <Cpudan80> unop: yes - you need to do the thing on its own line or do [command] | person
[02:34] <Chaorain2> DasEi, it said "Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup" still no logon screen
 n8tuser: I did though. Here it is again:
[02:34] <rdw200169> El, no, i mean, which architecture version of ubuntu did you install?
[02:34] <Royall_> Do you want me to pastebin two lines?
[02:34] <n8tuser> Royall -> you must put my nick in the front for me to see the highlighted ones..
 8.10
[02:34] <unop> Cpudan80, yes yes .. i know.  it was a typo
[02:34] <Cpudan80> np
[02:34] <Dr_willis> rdw200169,  perhaps a 'uname -a' or 'lsb_release -a' will help. :)
[02:35] <Royall_> n8tuser: bcmwl6 : driver installed	device (14E4:4315) present (alternate driver: wl)
[02:35] <Keeganator> help I formatted a partition to NTFS in ubuntu and windows install wont pick it up.
[02:35] <Dr_willis> el 8.10 is a 'release' that comes in 32 and 64bit versions.
[02:35] <rdw200169> Dr_willis, don't tell me, tell him!
[02:35] <albech> how do i force tar to extract an archive 'flat' so not use directory information?
[02:35] <n8tuser> Royall -> can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces
 im pretty sure its a 32 bit
[02:36] <DasEi> click on ubuntu machine again ?
[02:36] <Dr_willis> el  and whats the actual original problem then?
[02:36] <Drewgrange> i'm trying to install virtualbox but can't seem to find it in synaptic.. it's supposed to be in the default repositories isn't it?
[02:36] <DasEi> click on ubuntu machine again ?(from vista) Chaorain
[02:36] <Dr_willis> el look at the output of       uname -a
[02:36] <maxxist> keeganator will windows not even see the partition?  cause you should reformat the partition with windows installer.
[02:36] <_Vi_> Drewgrange: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[02:36] <Chaorain2> DasEi, same error
[02:36] <n8tuser> Royall -> did it ever associate with AP?
 it just wont let me install practaces
[02:36] <Royall_> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m25b4ebf
[02:37] <Keeganator> maxxist: Windows just see the harddrive as one big unknown partition
[02:37] <Royall_> n8tuser: I don't know if it has
[02:37] <Dr_willis> el clarify that statement please.
[02:37] <Keeganator> so I cant format just one bit
[02:37] <Keeganator> Or I'll kill ubuntu
[02:37] <_generic_> hey im making a shell script to install some programs anyway i cant make it select 'y' to confirm each install
[02:37] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:37] <maxxist> keeganator and it was supposedly paritioned a couple times?
[02:37] <Dr_willis> Keeganator,  windows likes to ask to format Ext2/3 partitions sadly.. gotta watch out for that.
[02:37] <Mez> _generic_: --yes
[02:37] <Dr_willis> _generic_,   use the TAB key  to get to the Yes.. then hit enter
[02:38] <Ketrel> If I want to make a cron job that would affect a file not owned by me (that I need to use sudo to change) how would I do that?
[02:38] <n8tuser> Royall ->  how did the eth1 got its ip address?
[02:38] <Keeganator> It's formatted to a NTFS partition right now, it was fat32 earlier
[02:38] <_generic_> so it would be sudo apt-get install prog --yes?
[02:38] <Keeganator> but windows wont see it
 i tried to install adobe flash and it started to install when the installed came up ith an error saying "error: wrong architecture i386" and would let me install the package
[02:39] <Mez> _generic_: yes
[02:39] <Royall_> n8tuser: I don't know, how would I tell
[02:39] <unop> _generic_,  read -p "perform operation? y/n " yn; if [[ $yn = [yY] ]]; then echo yes; fi
[02:39] <_generic_> thanks Mez
[02:39] <_generic_> peace
[02:39] <maxxist> keeganator ok what is existing on the drive now?
[02:39] <Dr_willis> el and how did you try to install it?  the medibuntu repos have that program.  for 32 and 64bit versions
[02:39] <Keeganator> nothing
[02:39] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:39] <maxxist> keeganator and do you want to dual boot?
[02:39] <ozzloy> i can't play sound through youtube.  but i do get sound through the sound config test.  how do i make youtube videos have sound again?
[02:39] <Keeganator> yea
[02:39] <n8tuser> Royall -> please read what you posted,
[02:40] <unop> _generic_, i might have misinterpreted your question ... nevermind my post
 well i just clicked the instal flash when i went on youtube i just clicked .deb for linux 8.04 +
[02:40] <_generic_> unop: whats the -p argument on read do?
[02:40] <sellyoursoul> anyone know a good windows irc channel?  i have linux installed, looking to dual boot with xp, but i have some windows questions.
[02:40] <Dr_willis> el thats the TOTALLY WRONG way to install it. :)
[02:40] <unop> _generic_, print a prompt
[02:40] <unop> _generic_, try it out, you'll see what it does
[02:40] <Dr_willis> el use the package manaeger tool. Not the  'browser says click here' method
[02:40] <DasEi> Chaorain2:I#m not sure about vista, in xp there is an option add network place, that make samba coming up, but you should be able to browse it, too ... same network ?(ip's ??) same workgroup ??
[02:40] <Cpudan80> sellyoursoul: ##windows
[02:40] <maxxist> keeganator well if windows sees the drive.  then make a partition with windows installer the size of the windows partition you want.  and save some space for linux.
[02:41] <_generic_> Nice thx that handy for reducing writing!
 im totaly new to linux can u elaborate
[02:41] <Keeganator> ok thanks
[02:41] <alihan> TURKÝSH
[02:41] <Royall> n8tuser: I'm looking under eth1, I see 'Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:22:69:32:05:f9 ', so I'm saying Ethernet? I don't know what I'm looking for
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis: i always use the .deb from adobe.com...  dont think i've ever used synaptic.
[02:41] <Dr_willis> el 'sudo apt-get install acroread'
[02:41] <n8tuser> Royall ->  have you done any tutorials on how to setup networking with ubuntu?
[02:41] <Dr_willis> IndyGunFreak,  i always enable medibintu i think :)
[02:41] <Dr_willis> IndyGunFreak,  it seems to have downloaded the wrong one for him in this case
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis: oh for acroread.. thought we were talking flash.. yes, for acroread, add medibuntu, and use it.
[02:41] <_Vi_> albech: im wondering if this might work.. i got this from the 'man tar' page:  --recursive-unlink remove existing directories before extracting directories of the same name
[02:41] <Royall> n8tuser: I haven't...written any, but I read the tutorial of using ndiswrapper, which I did
[02:42] <ozzloy> how do i find out why youtube sound isn't working?
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis:  of course, the easier thing to do, is just use evince
[02:42] <thenetmonkey9250> anyone have experience running xen on jaunty?
[02:42] <n8tuser> Royall -> what are you trying to achieve again?
[02:42] <DasEi> Chaorain2:well ip's should match, if ubuntu is seen though
[02:42] <Chaorain2> DasEi, Its in the same workgroup
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> El: why don't you just use evince?.. its already part of your install
[02:43] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:43] <kerlo> Is it fine to repeat a question so often, and if so, how often should I limit myself to?
[02:43] <El> dr_willis isn't working?

[02:43] <Chaorain2> DasEi, I can't check it with XP as that one is dual booting ubuntu
[02:43] <Royall> n8tuser: I can connect to the internet using my builtin wireless card, but only after deactivating my Broadcom STA driver and then reactivating it, so there must be something wrong
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> El: you're trying to install acrobat reader?
[02:43] <linuxman410> if windows is running in virtual box
[02:43] <Royall> n8tuser: I'd need to do this every boot
 no idea what ur talking bout
[02:43] <albech> _Vi_ I believe that will remove target directories before extracting files
[02:43] <Royall> n8tuser: I'm trying to get it working normally
[02:44] <n8tuser> Royall ->  the guide regarding ndiswrapper mentioned anything about making it permanent?
[02:44] <thenetmonkey9250> can anyone suggest a channel I can go to and get help with xen on jaunty?
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> El: ok, i thought Dr_willis was helping you..
[02:44] <linuxman410> if windows is running in virtual box cam=n it still get virus
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> thenetmonkey9250: ubuntu+1
[02:44] <Dr_willis> el oops im confused. You need flash. :) not acrobat reader.
[02:44] <lstarnes> linuxman410: yes
[02:44] <albech> _Vi_ it doesn't extract the whole archive into just one folder
[02:44] <linuxman410> wow
[02:44] <Dr_willis> el 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[02:44] <exodus_ms> IndyGunFreak: I think he said he 'clicked on the .deb for flash at the youtube site'
[02:44] <thenetmonkey9250> indygunfreak: thanks
[02:44] <jpedroza> I have a WG311v3 that will show networks, but not connect
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis: lol, well then ack to the matter at hand, i always use the .deb from adobe.com
[02:44] <Royall> n8tuser: I'll look
[02:44] <albech> _Vi_ it could also be that I should create the archive as 'flat' and not address this in the extraction process
[02:45] <jpedroza> ndiswrapper loads correctly, but no connections
 nonono its adobe flash so i can watch utube
[02:45] <Dr_willis> IndyGunFreak,  and ive never had to. :)
[02:45] <lstarnes> linuxman410: but the virus can't affect the host machine if the virys is a windoes virus and the host is running something other than windows
[02:45] <lstarnes> *virus

[02:45] <lstarnes> *windows
[02:45] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-restricted-extras grabs flash, and some fonts, and java i think   - you proberly want them all
[02:45] <IndyGunFreak> El: just download the .deb file from adobe.com, and double click it.. it should work fine
 no dive sais its missing a pacage
[02:45] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> what have you done to associate or troubleshoot?
[02:45] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:45] <Mez> Dr_willis: and a lot of codecs
[02:45] <jpedroza> n8tuser: I am not sure where to look.
[02:46] <n8tuser> !ndiswrapper | jpedroza read this please
[02:47] <Royall> n8tuser: it has instructions concerning making it permament when using nm-applet, but I'm using wicd, should it make a difference?
[02:47] <El> dr_ willis: also i have the pro versoin of crossover so i can use microsoft office 07 and that wont install either
[02:47] <n8tuser> Royall -> shouldnt, its ndiswrapper command wasnt it?
[02:47] <Royall> n8tuser: It shows editing the /etc/modules to load the module on startup
[02:47] <jpedroza> n8tuser: Ndiswrapper is loaded fine, and I can see networks, but not associate. Is there a log file for wireless network?
[02:48] <DasEi> Chaorain2:I have no idea on vista, but may check guest account and http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=45&TopicId=8284
[02:48] <gdad2_> what version of the ubuntu 8.10 install should I use for an Atom-equipped MSI WInd desktop machine?  I tried the amd64 version and got a dramatic message about kernel panic.  I suspect that's not going to work for an Intel chip.
[02:48] <n8tuser> Royall -> that should not depend on wicd or nm then
[02:48] <johnnnny> how should i proceed at starting a program in my service scripts ? I used to use "runuser"
[02:48] <Royall> n8tuser: ok, I'll try it anyways
 ok it sais configuring java somthing and ok at the bottom how do i click ok?
[02:48] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> sudo dhclient wlan0
[02:48] <Dr_willis> el i never use crossover office.. so no idea on that.  the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' should install flash and java and codecs that yoiu will want eventually
[02:48] <Dr_willis> el hit the TAB key
[02:48]  * Dr_willis thinks that Java install package needs to TELL peopel to hit the TAB KEY to get to 'ok'
[02:49] <Dr_willis> i still ownder why java has that eula thing.. :) but i guessits the lawyers
 great thanks for all the help maby ill just get used to open office sence theres no way to use microsoft office
[02:49] <joljam> can anyone help me with xorg.conf
[02:49] <jpedroza> n8tuser: No good. It isn't associating with the AP, so no traffic is passing
[02:50] <Mez> Dr_willis: you have to accept the licence to use it
[02:50] <Mez> that's part of the licence terms
[02:50] <johnnnny> can anyone help me to fun a program as another user ? (in my init.d scripts)
[02:50] <marine> boot manager is missing after converting ext 3 to nfts
[02:50] <n8tuser> jpedroza ->  can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces and sudo lshw -C network
[02:50] <johnnnny> fun = get
[02:50] <johnnnny> oups fun = run
[02:51] <Mez> johnnnny: sudo -u user program
[02:51] <exodus_ms> Mez: yeah, I think that is understood, just wondering why there is a need for an agreement
[02:51] <DasEi> marine: is your fstab based on blkid ?
[02:51] <johnnnny> k
[02:51] <johnnnny> will try
[02:51] <Mez> exodus_ms: blame sun
[02:51] <marine> DasEi, what is that
[02:51] <Octoroks> hello, anyone know anyhthing about truecyrpt, is there a way to un-encyript something you encrypted?
[02:51] <marine> what command
[02:51] <Dr_willis> Mez,  so the whole 'we are going to GPL java' was a sham? ;)
[02:51] <marine> DasEi, what command
[02:52] <marine> DasEi, that is on the windows side
[02:52] <jpedroza> n8tuser: no net access on that box, what are you looking for specifically?
[02:52] <aron> hi,who can tell me how to use a static DNS server?I am using ADSL and every time the ISP provides me their DNS server address,but I want to use openDNS.
[02:52] <Mez> the version that you're running is not GPL. afaik
[02:52] <DasEi> marine: your partitions are identified by /dev/blabla   or by a number (blkid), the last will fail after a convert
[02:52] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> i have give you a list, you certainly can make accomodation to copy them by hand or put them on a usb?
[02:52] <Dr_willis> Mez,  shows that i never read that EULA :)
[02:53] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> i have given* you a list, you certainly can make accomodation to copy them by hand or put them on a usb?
[02:53] <DasEi> marine: did you install first ubuntu and then windows ?
[02:53] <faileas> Dr_willis: no one actually reads EULAs ;p
[02:53] <Ketrel> If I want to make a cron job that would affect a file not owned by me (that I need to use sudo to change) how would I do that?
[02:53] <jrib> Ketrel: use root's crontab
[02:53] <marine> DasEi, no i installed linux on windows hence the prolem when trying to merge on gparted
[02:53] <faileas> hmm, this the right place to ask a wubi question?
[02:54] <Mez> Dr_willis: http://java.com/en/download/license.jsp
[02:54] <DasEi> marine:wubi ?
[02:54] <marine> DasEi, what is wubi
[02:54] <fwaokda> i installed a deb package by double clicking it and now i want to uninstall it but cant seem to do it how can i do this i tried apt-get remove but it says the package doesnt exist
[02:54] <jrib> fwaokda: use the right name
[02:55] <redvamp128> !wubi | marine
[02:55] <DasEi> marine:wubi is a way to install ubuntu inside win like a prog
[02:55] <faileas> DasEi: naw, i was wondering how wubi would react to being installed onto a FAT32 drive
[02:55] <Ketrel> jrib: is that doable as a command, of do I have to use something like su?
[02:55] <marine> DasEi,  my boot manager is missing now i can't boot back into windows
[02:55] <fwaokda> jrib, how can i find out the right name i thought i was using the right name
[02:55] <Burky> yeaaaahhhh mon
[02:55] <jrib> Ketrel: sudo crontab -e
[02:55] <ozzloy> i killed and restarted pulseaudio, but amarok still says device is busy.  how do i find out what's using my sound device?
[02:55] <faileas> marine: you need to reinstall grub i think
[02:55] <marine> ok how is that doen
[02:56] <fwaokda> jrib, nevermind i was using the filename and not the actual name
[02:56] <rww> faileas: Considering that FAT32 partitions can't have files larger than 4GB on them, I'd guess "not very well"
[02:56] <marine> faileas, how is that done or how do we checkto see if it's loaded
[02:56] <Mez> !mbr | marine
[02:56] <Chaorain2> Is there a way other than samba to let vista manage ubuntu files?
[02:56] <Chaorain2> Including transfers
[02:56] <DasEi> marine:but can still boot ubuntu, so more a win question; you can restore win-loader with the win-install cd
[02:56] <faileas> rww: precisely. i'd like to get ubuntu on a netbook, but i want to be able to remove the linux install easily if need be
[02:57] <rastaval> im a newbie with ubuntu. my friend just gave me a disk copy of it. now, im trying to install in my pc and im now stuck with "busyBox v1.1..3" Can i ask help from someone else here what command should i do first?
[02:57] <marine> DasEi, which i don't have
[02:57] <Ketrel> jrib: thanks, am I right in assuming then that it runs at specified times and not specified intervals?
[02:57] <DasEi> marine: ask in ##windows
[02:58] <rastaval> im a newbie with ubuntu. my friend just gave me a disk copy of it. now, im trying to install
[02:58] <rastaval> in my pc and im now stuck with "busyBox v1.1..3" Can i ask help from someone else here what command should i do first?
[02:58] <faileas> Chaorain2: on the same box?
[02:58] <joljam> how do you restart xorg.conf from command line
[02:58] <jrib> Ketrel:  I don't understand the difference.  Can you be more specific as to what you mean?
[02:58] <faileas> rastaval: it should go further, sounds like there's some issue with the install disk
[02:58] <DasEi> joljam: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:58] <Chaorain2> faileas, no over a lan connection
[02:58] <AndreasMadrid> will the new alsa be included in next ubuntu update?
[02:58] <Ketrel> nvm, I think I understand
[02:59] <faileas> Chaorain2: FTP, winscp+ssh...
[02:59] <Ketrel> though I do have to ask, is the spacing important or is one space enough?
[02:59] <rastaval> faileas: you mean, what i have encountered now is not a normal on installation process?
[02:59] <marine> DasEi,  everything was working fine i tried to remove the remaining harddrive space for my windows side and use it for linux ut was having trouble because windows was indentified as ext3 not nfts
[02:59] <jrib> Ketrel: any whitespace is fine
[02:59] <noordam> Marine: You can also reinstall the windows boot loader if you have FDISK with FDISK/MBR.
[02:59] <faileas> rastaval: no, it isn't
[02:59] <Chaorain2> faileas, what is the program for ubuntu?
[03:00] <rastaval> faileas: so what seemed to be the problem and how would i avoid of falling into this?
[03:00] <marine> noordam, is that the original cd ecause id it is that i don't have anymore
[03:01] <DasEi> marine:what says an : sudo fdisk -l ?
[03:01] <faileas> rastaval: 'best' way IMO is to order a cd from canonical. its free.
[03:01] <Omikane> How do I create more profiles for FF? I deleted all of mine... :( It just keeps saying that FF is already running.
[03:01] <DasEi> Chaorain2: oh, yes, and install ext2tnfs  on vista
[03:01] <cdenny> im a noob, how can i find irc chat room for tomshardware
[03:02] <marine> DasEi, sudo: fdisk-l: command not found
[03:02] <cdenny> or computer
[03:02] <wolter> allquixotic, hi
[03:02] <rastaval> faileas: can i ask details on how to contact them? you may pm me.. thanks
[03:02] <DasEi> marine:what says an :                                   sudo fdisk -l ?
[03:02] <faileas> DasEi: most of the windows based EXT3 ifses are borked cause of inode size ;p. you need to mattwu one
[03:02] <cdenny> this is the only room i know how to get in which is why im asking here
[03:02] <allquixotic> hi wolter
[03:02] <noordam> Marine: it should be on any old windows boot disk.
[03:02] <Ketrel> jrib: this syntax right for running every half hour '30 * * * * fortune | tee /etc/motd'
[03:02] <faileas> rastaval: one moment, i get you the lonk
[03:02] <wolter> allquixotic, i ran the sysprof again and a binary named whiptail is causing the stall
[03:02] <marine> DasEi, Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>96 bytes
[03:02] <marine> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
[03:02] <marine> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[03:02] <marine> Disk identifier: 0x144d144d
[03:02] <marine>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[03:02] <FloodBot2> marine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:02] <marine> /dev/sda1   *           1       18152   145805908+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[03:02] <jrib> faileas: yes
[03:02] <wolter> allquixotic, what is whiptail anyway?
[03:03] <faileas> marine: dude, pastebin
[03:03] <DasEi> faileas: I can only speak for xp, never had a problem there
[03:03] <Chaorain2> DasEi, you mean ext2ntfs? for samba?
[03:03] <alihan> this system know speakyweb ?
[03:03] <DasEi> marine: fil esystem ?
[03:03] <DaveW> does anyone know how to program in ML?
[03:03] <alphae> this system know speakyweb ?
[03:03] <marine> DasEi, how can i locate
[03:03] <faileas> DasEi: ext3ifs from fsdriver won't work, the mattwu one will
[03:03] <allquixotic> wolter: I honestly don't know - I haven't heard of whiptail
[03:04] <allquixotic> wolter `man whiptail`
[03:04] <cdenny> is there a program that searches for rooms
[03:04] <DasEi> marine:use paste.ubuntu.com for long posts;  it's reecognized as ntfs, as you can see
[03:04] <faileas> cdenny: /list would but you do not want to use it on freenode
[03:04]  * Darksmurf just wants everyone to know that blueman is awsome...
[03:05] <allquixotic> cdenny: /list has too many channels on freenode; the best way is to simply guess the chat channels you'd like to be involved in, and if no one is there, just leave those channels and try again
[03:05] <faileas> rastaval: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu look for 'request a cd' ;)
[03:05] <faileas> it takes a few weeks
[03:05] <marine> DasEi,  that's becuse i chnaged it before now i boot into windows to see if everything is ok an that side i get the message bootmgr is missing
[03:05] <cdenny> faileas: im looking for a chatrooom about computer hardware cause I need to fix my cooling system
[03:05] <rastaval> thank you faileas
[03:05] <wolter> allquixotic, well, it appears it is a dialog shower.. but also, my cpu is stuck at 100% all the time!
[03:05] <rww> cdenny: ##hardware
[03:06] <faileas> cdenny: ##hardware ;)
[03:06] <allquixotic> wolter: All the time?! That's different from before
[03:06] <Chaorain2> DasEi, what is ext2ntfs?
[03:06] <cdenny> aw thanks
[03:06] <wolter> allquixotic, CPU1 is normal, but CPU2 is 100% permanently now!
[03:06] <Chaorain2> DasEi, I can't find it
[03:06] <allquixotic> wolter: That's.. bad.. whiptail is a dialog displaying script
[03:07] <rambo298> any recommendations for an ftp client that has a decent gui??
[03:07] <rikkimaru> Is there a repository I can add so that I can install a more recent (2.0+) version of Amarok?
[03:07] <alphae> free speakyweb ?
[03:08] <faileas> rikkimaru: i think nightly neon
[03:08] <linuxman410> my keyboard starting beeping with every letter i type how do i turn it off
[03:08] <meoblast> how do i override architecture in apt?
[03:08] <meoblast> i want to install the 32-bit version of something as well as its 64-bit version
[03:08] <famous> does anyone have a recommendation for a program that provides a virtual drive? i want to mount an iso...
[03:09] <wolter> allquixotic, yeah.. i am sampling again because my cpus are working too damn hard for what i am using them... xfire + firefox + gediit+ gnome-terminal (idle) + nautilus (idle)
[03:09] <rww> rikkimaru: See "Install Instructions" on http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:09] <marine> DasEi,  yes i still oot ubuntu with no problem but after changing my ext 3to nfts so that i could use gparted to use the remaining hadrdrive space form the windows sidethat is what happened
[03:09] <DasEi> Chaorain2: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[03:09] <n8tuser> famous -> virtual drive? you can mount the iso to any dir
[03:09] <linuxman410> famous what operating system are u using
[03:09] <rikkimaru> faileas: I don't really want the nightly build, just the latest stable (<IP_ADDRESS>).  When I add the repository listed for kubuntu, I can't find a more recent version with synaptic
[03:09] <wolter> allquixotic, i killed whiptail and stuff went back to normal...
[03:09] <allquixotic> wolter: Try killing the whiptail app; but I'm disturbed that it's running without you seeing a dialog box, as that is its function
[03:09] <rikkimaru> faileas: is there anything I need to do other than adding the repo?
[03:09] <allquixotic> wolter: Hmm, strange
[03:09] <wolter> let me see if i keep getting stalls...
[03:10] <rambo298> rambo298: oh use filezilla
[03:10] <faileas> rikkimaru: probably the usual apt-get update and upgrade, and maybe installing it. the kubuntu channel might have someone else who's done it...
[03:10] <rambo298> rambo298: ty
[03:10] <faileas> wait.. when did amarok 2 go stable?
[03:10] <wolter> allquixotic, it might be because i ran that module-assistant, i think whiptail is the one that makes that blue terminal dialogs.
[03:10] <allquixotic> wolter: Oh, ok... weird....
[03:11] <wolter> allquixotic, i keep getting stalls though..
[03:11] <TheKing> How do I use sed to find and replace a string of text
[03:11] <TheKing> in ALL files in ALL subdirctories
[03:11] <wolter> allquixotic, now cpus alternate between 0% and 30%
[03:12] <Omikane> how would I bring my logins and passwords over from a FF profile backup?
[03:12] <DasEi> marine:if you did so, you would have changed ntfs to ext3; anyway, help on restoring windows can be found ##windows
[03:12] <jrib> TheKing: use find with -exec sed.  See the examples in « man find »
[03:12] <TheKing> k
[03:13] <DaveW> does anyone know how to program in ML?
[03:13] <wolter> allquixotic, also, it seems that those stalls only happen when i am using the keyboard or the guis (it happens in my guis in the sense that the hover effects pause when the stall occurs)
[03:13] <joljam> how can i go and see my old chat logs
[03:14] <linuxman410> keyboard started beeping when i type in irc how do i turn off
[03:14] <gerber> where is locater the TCP property
[03:14] <johnnnny> I have Ubuntu (server edition 8.04 LTS) installed. I would like to register an extra service script to be started at the same time as my mySQL service starts (or around there)
[03:15] <johnnnny> any ideas how to get it registered? ( I copied my file in the /etc/init.d/ folder, and it didn't start on boot)
[03:15] <lstarnes> johnnnny: man update-rc.d
[03:15] <gerber> where is locater the TCP property
[03:15] <johnnnny> ah ;)
[03:15] <Pelias|afk> so yeah, problem with ubuntu not booting on raid0 system. Who wants to help?
[03:16] <Pelias> I see forest of hands:P
[03:17] <gerber> where is locater the TCP property ?
[03:17] <gerber> local connection
[03:18] <Frederick> folks why if I set a high resolution my screen fits less than the total monitor area?
[03:19] <gerber> i need to -put IP address,but i don't how ?
