[12:39] <aixing> you can still use Ubuntu while you wait for them to respond cant you?
[12:39] <snowblink> Nothing_about, but it does help if you want to run higher screen res/colours.
[12:39] <frogzoo> Nothing_about: you're going to use ubuntu to run ubuntu virtually ?
[12:39] <Nothing_about> yeh
[12:39] <cypher1> is there any documents for interpreting the output of commands like "dpkg --list" or "dpkg --listfiles" ?
[12:40] <Nothing_about> yes
[12:40] <Nothing_about> its running virtually right now
[12:40] <RichardCranium> Paddy_EIRE, io_32bit is not enabled -might that have something to do with it or is it supposed to be like that?
[12:40] <snowblink> Nothing_about, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[12:40] <Nothing_about> ok
[12:40] <snowblink> cd /media
[12:40] <frogzoo> Nothing_about: I suggest you start with a basic ubuntu install on a spare partition, and work up to figuring out vmware
[12:40] <aixing> in my experience, like snowbike says its not neccessary, but to get a good idea of what you may be missing out ono wait and ask them on #vmware
[12:41] <Nothing_about> oh but i cant
[12:41] <vito_corleone> hey how do i remove ubuntu from the comp...
[12:41] <Paddy_EIRE> RichardCranium: i cant be sure
[12:41] <Nothing_about> thats one of the problems
[12:41] <vito_corleone> can i just reformate the linux parion??
[12:41] <frogzoo> vito_corleone: format the ubuntu partitions
[12:41] <vito_corleone> frogzoo: ah k thanks ...:)
[12:41] <Nothing_about> now what terminal is running
[12:41] <asabil> vito_corleone, why are you leaving ?
[12:41] <frogzoo> vito_corleone: if you want grub gone, you'll need to do a /fixmbr
[12:42] <inzy> i'm having probs installing nvidia drivers? my xorg.conf changes part way through the process, from an nvidia quadro to a radeon when i run the line to update the md5sum
[12:42] <vito_corleone> asneed some space for backing up stuff...
[12:42] <snowblink> Nothing_about, have you told VMWare that you want to install the tools?
[12:42] <Nothing_about> yes
[12:42] <vito_corleone> asabil: need spave for backing stuff
[12:42] <Nothing_about> vmware tools cd is on the desktop
[12:42] <snowblink> Nothing_about, hang on, while I bring up Ubuntu in a VM...
[12:42] <frogzoo> zcat[1] : devine "normal"  - heh
[12:42] <constricted> hmmm how come 16 by 1200 isnt on the change resolution?
[12:42] <zcat[1] > frogzoo: oh, I see you said that
[12:42] <Nothing_about> ok
[12:42] <vito_corleone> asabil: space*... will install the new beta version later....
[12:43] <asabil> okey vito_corleone
[12:43] <shans_home> is there anyway to stop 'lock screen' from activating when I close the lid of my laptop?
[12:43] <zcat[1] > normal == not grub :)
[12:43] <Nothing_about> hey snowblink go to #vmware its empty and no one is talking
[12:43] <shans_home> (dapper)
[12:43] <zcat[1] > shans_home: 'don't close it' :-)
[12:43] <shans_home> zcat[1] : thanks
[12:43] <frogzoo> shans_home: in power prefs
[12:43] <shans_home> frogzoo: aaah, OK
[12:43] <snowblink> Nothing_about, probably ##vmware... anyway
[12:44] <snowblink> Nothing_about, double click the icon on the desktop
[12:44] <shans_home> frogzoo: set it to do nothing?
[12:44] <snowblink> Nothing_about, you should see two files
[12:44] <Nothing_about> yes
[12:44] <frogzoo> shans_home: this a trick question ?
[12:44] <snowblink> Nothing_about, drag the tar.gz to your desktop
[12:44] <Nothing_about> there are two files
[12:44] <Nothing_about> ok
[12:44] <Nothing_about> brb
[12:44] <shans_home> frogzoo: no, it just seems strange that 'blank screen' actually means 'blank and lock screen'
[12:44] <shans_home> but it works!
[12:44] <shans_home> thanks :)
[12:45] <snowblink> Nothing_about, in your terminal: cd ~/Desktop
[12:45] <Nothing_about> ok
[12:45] <vito_corleone> asabil: hey how is hte beta version of edgy???
 ok so i go to terminal in apps
[12:45] <snowblink> Nothing_about, tar xvzf VMWare*
[12:45] <_hAPPY_mAJA> Anyone knowing ow to get to know what app using hw:0?
[12:46] <Nothing_about> so in terminal i type cd~/desktop
[12:46] <asabil> vito_corleone, fine, has some bugs, but quite fine

[12:46] <Fibbs> hi folks
[12:46] <_hAPPY_mAJA> frogzoo: thanks
[12:46] <vito_corleone> asabil: alright ill try it then...
[12:46] <vito_corleone> asabil: any idea when the final version is gonna come out?
[12:47] <snowblink> Nothing_about, ?
[12:47] <RichardCranium> how do I link my 32 bit libs so I can use them when I run apps?
[12:47] <asabil> 28 oct
[12:47] <Nothing_about> ok
[12:47] <RichardCranium> im trying to run ut2004
[12:47] <snowblink> Nothing_about, have you untarred that file?
 ok well ive done cd ~ /Desktop
[12:47] <Fibbs> i have a problem: did install postfix and copied over my old configs, but too much because the postfix-scripts where not compatible. I now want to uninstall all postfix stuff and create all /etc/postfix files another time by installing postfix (standard files), how to do this?
[12:47] <Nothing_about> could i just right click and extract here ?
[12:47] <snowblink> Nothing_about, tar xvzf VMWare*
 could i just right clikc and extract here ?
[12:48] <zcat[1] > zZzZ - g'night all.. nearly midnight here.
[12:48] <Nothing_about> ok so i type tar xvzf VMware* in terminal
[12:48] <snowblink> Nothing_about, yes
[12:48] <Nothing_about> ok brb
[12:49] <Nothing_about> ok
[12:49] <Nothing_about> well it couldnt open or etract file

[12:49] <Nothing_about> and im in my desktop
[12:49] <snowblink> Nothing_about, did you drag the file to the desktop?
[12:50] <Nothing_about> yes
[12:50] <snowblink> Nothing_about, then the tar.gz file should be there
[12:50] <Nothing_about> its called VMwareTools
[12:50] <_hAPPY_mAJA> frozoo: I cant fins anything. Actually dont understand the what the list is about. I just want to know what program using hw:0, and how i do to terminate it.
[12:50] <_hAPPY_mAJA> Any idea?
[12:50] <snowblink> Nothing_about, reread my instructions from the beginning
[12:50] <Nothing_about> The file you asked to drag was VMwareTools-5.5.2-29772.tar.gz
[12:51] <snowblink> Nothing_about, correct
[12:51] <Nothing_about> ok from the point where i type in cd ~ / Desktop
[12:51] <snowblink> Nothing_about, there should only be one space in that command
[12:52] <Nothing_about> oh
[12:52] <_hAPPY_mAJA>  I want to know what program using hw:0, and how i do to terminate it. Anyone?
[12:52] <Nothing_about> woops

[01:04] <mnepton> RichardCranium:s sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:04] <snowblink> Nothing_about, vmware-install.pl not vmware-tools.pl
[01:04] <RichardCranium> I sure hope that works
[01:04] <Nothing_about> lol
 OMG
[01:04] <Nothing_about> woops
 im such a newbie
 brb
[01:05] <mike_stern> working!
[01:05] <RichardCranium> mnepton, do i need to log out or anything
[01:05] <jacked> mike_stern: :)
[01:05] <mnepton> RichardCranium: shouldn;t need to, no
[01:05] <mike_stern> thank you guys
[01:05] <RichardCranium> hmph mnepton I dont think that installed the file I need
[01:06] <mnepton> RichardCranium: sudo updatedb && locate libstdc++
[01:06] <mike_stern> ok 1 more question
[01:06] <RichardCranium> mnepton, it only shows up in my /usr/lib32
[01:06] <mike_stern> i need to read log files of users requestiong pages from apache
[01:06] <mike_stern> where is that file?
[01:06] <snowblink> mike_stern, /var/log/apache2
[01:06] <mnepton> mike_stern: /var/log
[01:06] <RichardCranium> mnepton, the so.5 version is only in lib32
[01:07] <mike_stern> great
[01:07] <RichardCranium> mnepton, if i try to install the old version it wants to install gcc 3.3
 hey
 i know what the problem is that the command aint working
[01:09] <Nothing_about> the wmare-tool.pl file you have is called within the file i have
 vmware-install.pl
[01:09] <snowblink> poningru, heh - give the newbie a break
[01:10] <Nothing_about> hey which directory do i want to install the binary files ?
[01:10] <Crissi> frogzoo: http://paste.debian.net/14965
[/usr/bin]  ?
[01:11] <snowblink> Nothing_about, accept the defaults
[01:11] <Nothing_about> so just press enter
[01:12] <snowblink> Nothing_about, sure
 what is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6d/) ? [/etc]
[01:13] <Crissi> why the package quality of ubuntu is soo bad? Yes, its dapper.
 what should i do ??
[01:13] <snowblink> Nothing_about, Accept the defaults
[01:13] <frogzoo> Crissi: fprintf bombs because clock_gettime returned null, dunno  why
[01:13] <Crissi> frogzoo: on debian it has worked
[01:13] <constricted> whats the command line to change the permissions for a folder?
[01:14] <Crissi> this should never happen on stable
[01:14] <constricted> i cant change in the gui cause it says im not the owner (root)
[01:14] <Crissi> its a fresh dapper install
[01:14] <Crissi> 2 days old
 ok so far ive just pressed enter
 now its asking In which directory do you want to install the doc files ?
[01:14] <Crissi> i think i sholuld kick ubuntu because i got a lot of troubles
[01:14] <jacked> constricted: sudo chmod <permissions> -R <folder>
[01:15] <snowblink> Nothing_about, hmm.... keep pressing enter until you get an error
[01:15] <jacked> constricted: if you give me the permissions you want to set and the folder I'll give you something more complete
[01:15] <Crissi> the ubuntu ppl really should do quality management
 OK NOW installation of vmware tools 5.5.2 build -29772 for linux completed successfully
 cd icon isgone
[01:15] <jacked> constricted: err... the line I gave you above will change the files inside the folder too
 says before running vmware tools for the first time
[01:15] <snowblink> Nothing_about, good. Restart your Ubuntu VM.
[01:16] <Crissi> remember the cups desaster. i had seen that before dapper was released but nobody has fixed it before release
[01:16] <constricted> thanks, and if i wanted user whyso to  be able to sudo chmod whyso -R /media/sda1
 i need to configuyr it by invoking the following command :"/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl" do you want this program to invoke the command for you now [yes]  ?????
[01:16] <snowblink> Nothing_about, ah yes that bit
[01:16] <snowblink> Nothing_about, before you do that
[01:17] <jacked> constricted: if you want to change the owner (only do this in your /home/<your login name> directory), you may want to use chown...
 yeh what do i do its asking for a yes or i dont know ??
[01:17] <Crissi> so i cant recommend ubuntu
[01:17] <Crissi> its too bad.
[01:17] <snowblink> Nothing_about, say no
[01:17] <Nothing_about> ok
[01:17] <constricted> ok
[01:17] <Nothing_about> just type no
[01:17] <snowblink> Nothing_about, sudo apt-get install linux-headers
[01:17] <Nothing_about> and press enter
[01:17] <mnepton> Crissi: what "CUPS disaster?"
[01:17] <Crissi> mnepton: you dont know it??????
 ok type no and press enter ?
[01:18] <snowblink> Nothing_about, yes
[01:18] <mnepton> Crissi: yes, i do. i just really like typing the words "what CUPS disaster."
[01:18] <snowblink> Nothing_about, You should be back on command line
[01:18] <jacked> lol
[01:18] <snowblink> Nothing_about, have to make sure you have the headers installed before continuing
 yeh back to cmd line
[01:18] <snowblink> Nothing_about, sudo apt-get install linux-headers
ok brb need to type command
[01:19] <hypn0> hello, anyone installed yahoo messenger? do yahoo deb/s exist? is webcam feature available?
[01:20] <jacked> hypn0: use gaim (no webcam though)
[01:20] <mnepton> hypn0: GAIM
 ok done something
[01:20] <Crissi> mnepton: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/418?from=20
[01:20] <Nothing_about> linux heads came up
[01:20] <boink> hypn0: you can use GAIM
[01:20] <boink> and yahoo does have debian .debs for its messenger
[01:20] <Crissi> hypn0: sim
 now its says You should explicity select one to install
[01:20] <Crissi> or kopete
[01:20] <Crissi> but i recommemd sim
 E: Package linux heads has no installation candidate
[01:20] <boink> is sim better than gaim?
[01:20] <Crissi> yes
[01:20] <Crissi> i think
 and its back to command line
[01:20] <Crissi> www.sim-im.org
[01:21] <boink> gaim is just the best know
[01:21] <Crissi> no
[01:21] <constricted> hmmmm chown whyso /tmp/disks-conf-sdc1 isnt working :(
[01:21] <Crissi> sim is better... if you have tried you will know what i mean
 So which linx header is the right now to install and how ?
[01:22] <jacked> constricted: you'll have to put 'sudo' before that
[01:22] <snowblink> Nothing_about, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
[01:22] <constricted> oh ok thanks
[01:22] <jacked> constricted: np
 and what will that do ?
[01:22] <snowblink> Nothing_about, install your headers and build tools necessary for the next part
 ok brb need to type code
[01:24] <constricted> still not working, chown report successful, but owner still root
[01:24] <Crissi> here is your bug: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060430.181654.76d091a9.en.html
[01:24] <Crissi> so bad....
[01:24] <constricted> whyso@Andrew:~$ sudo chown whyso /tmp/disks-conf-sdc1
[01:24] <constricted> chown: changing ownership of `/tmp/disks-conf-sdc1': Read-only file system
 ok well it had Reading package lists . Done
[01:25] <jacked> constricted: oh, didn't I suggest that you shouldn't use chown outside of your home directory?
 Building dependency tree . Done
 but E: Couldnt find package linux headrs -uname -r
[01:26] <constricted> oops didnt see that :( did i just mess something up?
[01:26] <jacked> constricted: copy the file to your home dir first, or use sudo before writing the file
[01:26] <snowblink> Nothing_about, sorry cannot help you more - have to get back to work. Remember to type stuff exactly as people tell you to...
[01:26] <Nothing_about> so
[01:26] <Nothing_about> whats up
[01:27] <jacked> constricted: no, it'll be fine
[01:27] <Nothing_about> im going to mess things up
[01:27] <Nothing_about> if i restart comp
[01:27] <snowblink> Nothing_about, http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server?from=10&comments_per_page=10
 thank you for the link
[01:28] <snowblink> Nothing_about, should be pretty straightforward. Good luck!
 thnxz for the help
[01:28] <Nothing_about> well at least i know vmware tools are installed
[01:28] <snowblink> Nothing_about, np
[01:28] <dbglt> how stable is the new edgy better? Good enough just for a home user?
[01:28] <Nothing_about> i just have to restart dont i
[01:28] <Nothing_about> after i install right headers
[01:28] <Nothing_about> OH one question what are linux headers anyways ?
[01:29] <timhaughton> Is Edgy still pencilled in for release this month?
[01:29] <jacked> dbglt: it's pretty good. depends on how time-critical your personal computing is (mostly).
[01:29] <dbglt> what does that mean?
[01:29] <jacked> timhaughton: yes
[01:31] <timhaughton> jacked: Groovy. Thanks
[01:31] <jacked> dbglt: it means that it isn't recommended for install if you're not prepared for something to go wrong.  but I'll tell you, my personal experience is that I haven't seen a lot of problems lately (i've been running edgy for 2 months)
[01:34] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys I have no experience with vmware player and was wondering how I would install win 2000/xp with this.  I have both cds
[01:34] <constricted> hmmmm i cant figure out how to access this removeable ntfs HD still :(
[01:35] <silent_scream> you have to install vmware workstation
[01:35] <silent_scream> Paddy_EIRE,
[01:35] <aixing> Paddy_EIRE: you cant do it with just the player
[01:35] <silent_scream> it's easier
[01:36] <aixing> Paddy_EIRE: You need the workstation, like silent says or you can go for the free server version
[01:36] <jacked> constricted: are you able to mount it?
[01:36] <constricted> yup
[01:36] <dbglt> you can install an image
[01:36] <dbglt> it is just harder
[01:36] <constricted> all mounted up
[01:36] <dbglt> have a search around for how to do it
[01:37] <jacked> constricted: what is the mount point?
[01:37] <constricted>  /media/sdc1
[01:38] <Paddy_EIRE> vmware workstation will this cost me
[01:38] <jacked> constricted: sudo ls /media/sdc1
[01:38] <jacked> does that return anything?
[01:38] <constricted> yup works
[01:38] <constricted> i just need to copy stuff over to ubuntu now
[01:38] <huangzuobin> hey,there are some words missing in my irc,how to do that?using xchat
[01:39] <constricted> whats comand line for that?
[01:39] <jacked> sudo nautilus /media/sdc1
[01:39] <constricted> sweet!!!! i kept leaving out natilus hehe
[01:39] <constricted> ty so much
[01:39] <jacked> (or nautilus /media/sdc1 if it will let you)
[01:40] <Paddy_EIRE> aixing: im not looking to run a server will the workstation cost me
[01:40] <constricted> nope, thats what kept not working (they should have a open as sudo option)
[01:40] <gnomefreak> gksudo should be used for gui apps
[01:41] <jacked> constricted: you can install it as a 'nautilus-script'
[01:41] <jacked> gnomefreak: true
[01:41] <aixing> Paddy_EIRE: yes it will... the server actually does the same thing.. except you are missing 1 or two things, but have the ability to run it as a service [speaking windows now]
[01:41] <Paddy_EIRE> !script
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about script - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:42] <jeanre> hey all
[01:42] <Paddy_EIRE> aixing: are the 1 or 2 things that are missing something that will be missed
[01:44] <chrishoeppner> Hi
[01:44] <aixing> Paddy_EIRE: I can't remember 1 of them, but the other is USB support
[01:44] <chrishoeppner> anyone know how I can check for compile options withing a deb package? I mean... if I install binary package X, how do I know which compile options have been used?
[01:45] <Paddy_EIRE> aixing: is there a free free way of getting any other os running as a virtual machine in linux?
[01:45] <aixing> Paddy_EIRE: my advice is that you try it and see, its free so nothing to lose. if you find that you need the stuff missing then buy the workstation version
[01:46] <Paddy_EIRE> i suppose
[01:46] <aixing> there is XEN
[01:46] <Paddy_EIRE> no open source alternative then
[01:46] <aixing> but i have not used it, and not sure how well it works with windows
[01:46] <Paddy_EIRE> trying to keep commercial software in the past
[01:47] <aixing> there are loads of alternatives, but XEN is the main one that gets mentioned along side vmware and virtual PC
[01:47] <jacked> Paddy_EIRE: would QEMU not be considered a VM?
[01:47] <Paddy_EIRE> except for windows os, which I already paid for just dont wanna waste money
[01:47] <aixing> yes that's another one
[01:47] <jacked> Paddy_EIRE: or just not free free
[01:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !qemu
[01:47] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[01:47] <Paddy_EIRE> nice one :)
[01:48] <Paddy_EIRE> !xen
[01:48] <ubotu> XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy
[01:48] <aixing> i would go with the free version of vmware or xen
[01:48] <aixing> [but that's me]  :>
[01:48] <jacked> Paddy_EIRE: ignorant question, sorry, but what is the difference between an emulator and a VM?
[01:49] <easytiger> how do i delete *everything* from evolution.. its keeping stuff i want to remove
[01:49] <Paddy_EIRE> i have no idea
[01:49] <ShaunES> Anyone have any suggestions on how to limit users to a pre-set number of commands?
[01:49] <k3nobi> hi, who can I setup write permissions for my external usbdisk?
[01:49] <easytiger> a Vm might do more than pretend to just be another machine
[01:49] <ShaunES> IE, only allow nano, ls, cd, cp, mv, irssi, rm and chroot them to a different place?
[01:49] <Paddy_EIRE> well a confusing idea anyway
[01:49] <RichardCranium> if I could do xen + winxp 64 id do it
[01:50] <jacked> Paddy_EIRE: is there a difference in function?
[01:50] <Paddy_EIRE> i would say so
[01:50] <aixing> ShaunES: I am no way near an expert [yet] , but my guess would be to change the default PATHS that users get whan the logon
[01:50] <ShaunES> Hrm..
[01:50] <jacked> k3nobi: what file system does is use?
[01:51] <aixing> also, maybe creating a new PATH, and putting the commands [programs]  you want them to be able to use in that PATH
[01:51] <timhaughton> Anyone know if the enctypted partition option made its way into the Edgy installer?
[01:51] <Yaakov> An emulator pretends to be something it isn't (e.g.: x86 on PowerPC); a VM is a way of providing access to what appears to be a "machine", and it might run an emulator or an OS.
[01:51] <k3nobi> jacked: ext3
[01:51] <aixing> and then of cos make that their default PATHS
[01:51] <k3nobi> jacked: it's read only for the users
[01:51] <RichardCranium> the amd64 unreal runs great on ubuntu amd64-generic
[01:52] <RichardCranium> happy to report
[01:52] <Yaakov> So, VirtualPC running under OS X provides both VMs AND an x86 emulator to host OSs that need x86.
[01:52] <jacked> k3nobi: sudo chmod a+rw -R /path/to/device
[01:52] <aixing> Yaakov: yes, i believe so
[01:52] <jeanre> Ubuntu 4.0.3 is dapper?
[01:52] <boink> jeanre: no
[01:52] <RichardCranium> 6.06 is dapper
[01:52] <boink> dapper is 6.06
[01:52] <Yaakov> On the other hand, a VM running on an x86 processor and hosting an x86 OS needn't emulate anything.
[01:53] <boink> !dapper
[01:53] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th and latest release of Ubuntu. Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake"
[01:53] <jeanre> hmmmm
[01:53] <Ropechoborra> Isnt that hoary?
[01:53] <jeanre> what is that then?
[01:53] <boink> sounds ancient
[01:53] <Ropechoborra> or warty
[01:53] <boink> !hoary
[01:53] <ubotu> hoary was the second release of Ubuntu. Version 5.04, codename "Hoary Hedgehog"
[01:53] <boink> !warty
[01:53] <ubotu> warty was the first release of Ubuntu. Version 4.10, codename "Warty Warthog"
[01:53] <jeanre> its xubuntu actually
[01:53] <RichardCranium> Yaakov, can one do windows and linux simultaneously with xen
[01:53] <boink> jeanre: in any case, it's ancient
[01:53] <Ropechoborra> 5.04 is hoary
[01:53] <jeanre> can one upgrade without breaking anything
[01:54] <boink> by updating your /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:54] <Ropechoborra> I guess is warty :P
[01:54] <jeanre> boink: for xubuntu?
[01:54] <Paddy_EIRE> jeanre:  i would think so, although backup
[01:54] <Paddy_EIRE> !backup
[01:54] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[01:54] <jeanre> I know I can edit that to update
[01:54] <boink> sure, xubuntu works just like ubuntu/kubuntu
[01:54] <Paddy_EIRE> !upgrade
[01:54] <brush01uk> Greetings Everyone, have a good day .......
[01:54] <ubotu> Upgrading, please see the instructions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:54] <jeanre> but I would not know what to change
[01:54] <boink> by updating your /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:54] <constricted> how do i change permissions to write for folder /home/whyso/Desktop for user whyso
[01:54] <aixing> RichardCranium: If you mean can one have more than 2 guest OS on the same system one running linux and the other windows... then YES
[01:54] <Yaakov> RichardCranium: Yes.  As with any VM provider, such as QEMU.
[01:55] <RichardCranium> wow! how do I switch between os's?
[01:55] <Ropechoborra> !upgrade > jeanre
[01:55] <Yaakov> Though that is not as "pure" an option as Xen, I believe.
[01:55] <Paddy_EIRE> RichardCranium: win will be in a window
[01:55] <RichardCranium> i have virtualiztion support in the CPU
[01:55] <Yaakov> RichardCranium: They run in windows.
[01:55] <RichardCranium> paddy how about 3d apps?
[01:56] <RichardCranium> this is sounding fantastic if I can run games
[01:56] <Yaakov> Xen, though, requires PORTED VERSIONS of the OS.
[01:56] <Paddy_EIRE> RichardCranium: will work the same except remember you are running 2 os's so performance will be slower
[01:56] <jacked> constricted: sudo chown whyso:whyso (assuming that's your group name) /home/whyso/Desktop
[01:56] <RichardCranium> ell ive got dual core
[01:56] <Yaakov> RichardCranium: Whereas QEMU doesn't.
[01:56] <aixing> alright peeps, i am off for now cya
[01:56] <Paddy_EIRE> RichardCranium: well that would be you sorted
[01:56] <Paddy_EIRE> :)
[01:56] <jeanre> question can I go straight to edgy?
[01:56] <Yaakov> RichardCranium: Right now I think Windows support in Xen is experimental.
[01:56] <jacked> constricted: sudo chmod o+w -R /home/whyso/Desktop
[01:57] <RichardCranium> Yaakov, experimental = poop
[01:57] <boink> I've never done such an update, jeanre .. from warty to dapper
[01:57] <boink> you could take it one step at a time
[01:57] <RichardCranium> ok all im outtie for a bit, props for doing what gentoo cant yet
[01:57] <Yaakov> RichardCranium: QEMU also offers CPU emulators, like ARM and SPARC.
[01:57] <J_P> hi all
[01:58] <jacked> jeanre: it seems to me that an upgrade like that isn't supported
[01:58] <jacked> jeanre: I'm quite sure I remember reading that
[01:58] <poningru> how long does prelink take?
[01:58] <k3nobi> jacked: no that wont help, the problem is on the mount level, not on the node level
[01:58] <boink> so, upgrade to the next release
[01:58] <Paddy_EIRE> !warty
[01:58] <ubotu> warty was the first release of Ubuntu. Version 4.10, codename "Warty Warthog"
[01:58] <k3nobi> jacked: the nodes are created dynamically everytime you plug in the ubs device
[01:58] <boink> that would by hoary. that should work fine
[01:58] <boink> !hoary
[01:58] <ubotu> hoary was the second release of Ubuntu. Version 5.04, codename "Hoary Hedgehog"
[01:59] <constricted> chmod  isnt doing anything :(
[01:59] <constricted> ty for help again tho :)
[02:00] <Paddy_EIRE> !chmod
[02:00] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[02:01] <Paddy_EIRE> !cake
[02:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cake - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <jacked> k3nobi: okay.  well.  umount the device
[02:01] <jacked> k3nobi: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/<device>
[02:02] <jacked> k3nobi: then you should be able to reach everything as root
[02:02] <jacked> errr...
[02:02] <jacked> k3nobi: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/<device> /media/<empty folder>
[02:03] <Rur0un1> help us obi , lol
[02:03] <rubso> hey guys, please i need help :(
[02:03] <Paddy_EIRE> !ask
[02:03] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:03] <Rur0un1> what's up rubso
[02:03] <rubso> after updating my system, my X Windows won't start and my Atheroes Wireless card won't start too
[02:03] <rubso> :'(
[02:03] <k3nobi> jacked: yes but this is a one time solution, I'm longing more for a generic solution because I usualy turn on and of my client
[02:04] <k3nobi> rubso: hh
[02:04] <Rur0un1> rubso, when did you make last update ?
[02:04] <rubso> today
[02:04] <k3nobi> I mean: Rur0un1 hh
[02:04] <Rur0un1> rubso, and the one before ?
[02:04] <rubso> there was nothing before!
[02:04] <k3nobi> jacked: i could but it in fstab
[02:04] <easytiger> no evolution users?
[02:04] <Rur0un1> rubso, was this the first time you upgraded your system after the installation ?
[02:05] <k3nobi> would ubuntu like it to edit my fstab?
[02:05] <Rur0un1> easytiger, I do
[02:05] <kandala> Any Thunderbird users here?
[02:05] <rubso> =( no help?
 i can't get rid of "on this computer" mail
[02:05] <easytiger> its an old account i no longer want
[02:05] <easytiger> any dieas
[02:05] <andyshack> evening folks. ive got two ubuntu boxes that firefox is unwilling to work on. everything else works and it seems a bit odd. can anyone point me to the right forum ?
[02:05] <Rur0un1> easytiger, why do you want to get rid of it ?
 its an old account i no longer use
[02:06] <k3nobi> andyshack: what exactly is not working?
[02:06] <jacked> k3nobi: what is the side of the usb storage device?
[02:06] <qwe1> hello, how do I tell the system that I want to open a certain file extension with a special Programm. I am looking for the configuration file.
[02:06] <k3nobi> jacked: the side?
[02:06] <Rur0un1> easytiger, then remove the account
[02:06] <jacked> k3nobi: what is the size of the usb storage device?
[02:06] <andyshack> k3nobi : type in url and nothing loads.
[02:06] <jacked> k3nobi: sorry
[02:06] <Volstrup> qwe1: the system? Is it from Nautilus, the filemanager?
 i did.... but all the mail still remains
[02:06] <k3nobi> jacked: arround 30gb
[02:06] <easytiger> i even deleted the .evolution folder
[02:06] <andyshack> all services are running, apache is even hapiily serving on one of them.
[02:07] <jeanre> ok now there crunch question does xgl work with ati xpress 200m cards? with beryl
[02:07] <qwe1> volstrup: yes in Nautilus
[02:07] <jacked> k3nobi: do you have a lot of data on there?  (what I'm getting at is... can you back it up so that you can format the drive)
[02:07] <k3nobi> jacked: type /tmp in the url bar
[02:07] <k3nobi> usp
[02:07] <k3nobi> andyshack: type /tmp in the url bar
[02:07] <Rur0un1> easytiger, I have never used multiple mailboxes in evolution. But check the folder .evolution in your home folder (it is a hidden directory in deed)
[02:07] <k3nobi> jacked: sorry
[02:08] <Volstrup> qwe1: right-click and select Properties
[02:08] <Rur0un1> easytiger, that you can remove anything manually there
. i did. i deleted it.. but it doesnt remove existing messages.
[02:08] <easytiger> i'll just delete them
[02:08] <qwe1> Volstrup: is there also a configuration file? Because some of the options I would like to delete
[02:08] <andyshack> yeah that works,
[02:09] <andyshack> the fkr seems to be working now, well it said hi to google anyway.
[02:09] <Volstrup> qwe1: probably. Why is it important, if you just select you favorite app?
[02:10] <qwe1> Volstrup: I just tested it. It works fine. I would just like to know where this configuration is stored
[02:10] <Volstrup> qwe1: user settings is saved in ~/.nautilus/
[02:12] <VxD_> bonjour, j'ai un problme sous ubuntu, quand je lances n'importes quel jeu qui as des .jpg, a bug. des fichiers .py que je lances par python fichier.py me fais des messages d'erreurs du genre ne peut pas charger les fichier .jpg
[02:12] <qwe1> Volstrub: ups, lots of xml files in there
[02:12] <nizo> heloo
[02:12] <jacked> k3nobi: sorry for the delay here... um, yeah.  fstab is an option too, although it may or may not be the BEST option
[02:12] <VxD_> oups sorry mistake with the french chan
[02:12] <chrishoeppner> Hi. got a little problem
[02:12] <nizo> what is the best cA
[02:13] <Rico> chrishoeppner: just ask
[02:13] <nizo> what is the best cache internet program in linux ?
[02:13] <andyshack> squid
[02:13] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, !ask
[02:14] <chrishoeppner> accidentally changed owner group to the whole /usr/ directory recursively. Now i can't do sudo or su. it tells me "must be setuid root" whenever i want to su. and as non-root user i can't restore ownership to root:root
[02:14] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, lol
[02:14] <chrishoeppner> Rur0un1, yeah... i know... but how do i solve this, beside live cd and mount my partition?
[02:15] <constricted> ty jacked for all the general help :)
[02:15] <jacked> chrishoeppner: oi!  jeesh
[02:15] <Rico> chrishoeppner: what's wrong with the live cd option?
[02:15] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, I am sure there is a better option
[02:15] <Rur0un1> I don't get why you can't sudo
[02:15] <jacked> constricted: np, killin' time before studying
[02:15] <jacked> :P
[02:15] <k3nobi> chrishoeppner: backup your home dir and reinstall the system
[02:15] <chrishoeppner> Rico, i can't find it right now *lol. any idea?
[02:15] <chrishoeppner> k31th, are you kidding?
[02:16] <nizo> okay
[02:16] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, search the error in google
[02:16] <nizo> what is the best configration for squid
[02:16] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, also search how to enable su (not sudo) in google
[02:16] <nizo> i have ubuntu 6 server
[02:16] <Rur0un1> for ubuntu of course
[02:16] <k3nobi> chrishoeppner: you wont be able to restore the prober permission because there are different groups in /usr. no everything is root:root
[02:16] <k3nobi> e.g. games
[02:17] <jacked> chrishoeppner: when you type ls -l /usr what do you see?
[02:17] <easytiger> why can't you sudo?
[02:17] <Rur0un1> k3nobi, he can give everything 777, so data will be safe
[02:17] <chrishoeppner> root : users
[02:17] <asabil> anyone good at making .deb packages ?
[02:17] <k3nobi> Rur0un1: you call that save?
[02:17] <chrishoeppner> easytiger, changed permission on /usr/sbin accidentally
[02:17] <Rur0un1> k3nobi, better than reinstalling I suppose
[02:18] <fredl> argh PNG's and older explorer versions are driving me nuts
[02:18] <k3nobi> Rur0un1: why?`you can reinstall in 20 min.
[02:18] <nizo> what is the best configration for squid cache ?
[02:18] <rubso> GOD DAMN IT, SOMEBODY HELP, MY SYSTEM IS DEAD !
 i bet you won't mess around as root again
[02:18] <k3nobi> Rur0un1: and with a /use recursively 777 you have saftey as windows
[02:18] <chrishoeppner> easytiger, be sure.
[02:18] <Rico> chrishoeppner: if you're in the users group, can't you chgrp it back?
[02:18] <Rur0un1> k3nobi, no, configuring and tweaking the system, flash and so on even if you use auotmatix, will take at least a day
[02:18] <k3nobi> easytiger: lol
[02:19] <Rur0un1> k3nobi, I don't mean security, I said data will be safe
[02:19] <Rur0un1> as well as the programs will be runnable again
[02:19] <k3nobi> Rur0un1: ah I see
[02:19] <starsyang> ?
[02:19] <chrishoeppner> oh hell...
[02:19] <starsyang> hello, everyone
[02:20] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, don't call that, if you write rm -R / at the top of the FS, there will be no cure
[02:20] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, besides I still did not get why you can't sudo
[02:20] <chrishoeppner> wan't a dump?
[02:20] <k3nobi> chrishoeppner: there is a saying in my country: the one that does not listen (and makes something stupid) must feel (the pain)
[02:21] <chrishoeppner> k3nobi, spanish?
[02:21] <Rur0un1> I don't need a dump. just tell me why cant you sudo
[02:21] <easytiger> not a great saying is it
[02:21] <chrishoeppner> "must be setuid root" is all i get
[02:21] <starsyang> JOIN<channel>
[02:21] <Rur0un1> or investigate it yourself
[02:21] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, investigate why you get this ?
[02:22] <k3nobi> easytiger: I think there are lots of other sayings aprobriate in this case
[02:22] <k3nobi> appropriatre
[02:22] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, I think you make sudo itself unaccessible
[02:22] <easytiger> like "you can't handle the root"
[02:22] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, since it relies on /usr/bin/sudo
[02:23] <easytiger> i think he is aware of that
[02:23] <nizo> sex
[02:23] <Rur0un1> sorry I lately figured it out
[02:23] <Rur0un1> hehe
[02:23] <chrishoeppner> it's actually what i first said, Rur0un1
[02:23] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, no , you only said you can't run sudo. not the reason
[02:23] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, anyway
[02:23] <jacked> chrishoeppner: can you do this   adduser root users
[02:24] <chrishoeppner> no permission
[02:24] <Rico> the files are owned by root though
[02:24] <easytiger> time to wack out a live cd dude
[02:24] <jacked> sudo adduser root users   (doesn't work either?)
[02:24] <Rico> HE CAN'T SUDO
[02:24] <chrishoeppner> yeah but the group isn't correct
[02:25] <easytiger> lol
[02:25] <RadiantFire> root already exists
[02:25] <jacked> Rico: yeah, got it bud.
[02:25] <RadiantFire> anyway
[02:25] <RadiantFire> boot into single user mode
[02:25] <RadiantFire> you get left at a root prompt
[02:25] <Rur0un1> chrishoeppner, I think you are out of luck
[02:26] <Rico> RadiantFire: that uses sulogin. if sudo doesn't run perhaps sulogin won't either?
[02:26] <RadiantFire> it will
[02:26] <Rico> problem solved then...
[02:26] <chrishoeppner> RadiantFire, and how do i get into single user mode?
[02:27] <RadiantFire> its a grub boot option
[02:27] <RadiantFire> its the "Rescue Mode"
[02:27] <RadiantFire> or in Edgy they changed it to "Single User Mode"
[02:27] <Rico> assuming he has it
[02:27] <RadiantFire> its a default thing
[02:27] <chrishoeppner> RadiantFire, and how do i get into that? live cd? or via grub?
[02:27] <RadiantFire> each kernel comes with a regular and the emergency mode
[02:27] <RadiantFire> grub
[02:28] <Rico> ah it's called recovery mode
[02:28] <Rico> aka the 'single' kernel option
[02:28] <Rur0un1> Edgy rocks by the way
[02:28] <klarkin> hi there
[02:28] <klarkin> just a quick question i hope
[02:28] <chrishoeppner> RadiantFire, you're the man. i'll then restore ownership to root:root. this should fix it, don't it?
[02:28] <klarkin> :)
[02:28] <Rur0un1> klarkin, !ask
[02:28] <RadiantFire> i don't know
[02:29] <Rico> chrishoeppner: chmod it 755 to be safe...
[02:29] <klarkin> spellcheck in openoffice2
[02:29] <RadiantFire> i would think os
[02:29] <klarkin> = not spellchecking
[02:29] <chrishoeppner> RadiantFire, thank you lots. i'm off to try.
[02:29] <vivi_> hi everybodi
[02:29] <klarkin> hi
[02:30] <vivi_> how are they today?
[02:31] <vivi_> how are you klarkin?
[02:31] <klarkin> a bit miffed i cannot get the spellcheck in openoffice2 to work
[02:32] <klarkin> and you vivi_? how are you
[02:32] <vivi_> i find , thank you

[02:34] <Poromenos> Hi, I'm trying to create another user with useradd but that user can see the files of all users in the /home/ dir
[02:35] <Poromenos> any way to avoid that?
[02:35] <vivi_> I don't speak english!
[02:35] <vivi_> :D
[02:35] <klarkin> me either
[02:36] <klarkin> and i am from england
[02:36] <klarkin> :P
[02:36] <vivi_> hihi:D
[02:36] <Rico> Poromenos: chmod other home directories to something like 700
[02:36] <Rico> Poromenos: in particular, the execute bit for a directory determines if other users can cd into it
[02:36] <vivi_> you are boy or gilr?
[02:37] <jacked> klarkin: have you tried going to File -> Wizards -> Install New Dictionaries?
[02:37] <Poromenos> Rico: Hmm, okay. This might cause problems with my apache and stuff though, I'll see, thanks :)
[02:37] <Rico> Poromenos: chgrp all your home files into a group that this new user is not part of
[02:37] <vivi_> are you boy or girl klarkin?
[02:37] <Rico> Poromenos: then add your apache user to that group
[02:37] <Poromenos> Rico: Ah, okay, thanks :)

[02:40] <klarkin> jacked: yup just done that now and works fine - cheers
[02:40] <Poromenos> Rico: where can i learn more about groups? i am having some trouble
[02:40] <vivi_> I sorry, but I'm off, because I going to learn
[02:40] <klarkin> ciao vivi_
[02:40] <vivi_> hi
[02:41] <mm2000> Hi, how can i updrage my "locale" to more countries?
[02:41] <klarkin> okee off also
[02:41] <klarkin> ltrz
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> !locales
[02:41] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[02:42] <Poromenos> !groups
[02:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about groups - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:42] <Poromenos> :(
[02:42] <Rico> Poromenos: addgroup <group>, adduser <user> <group>
[02:42] <Rico> type 'id' to see what groups you're currently in
[02:42] <Rico> 'groups' would also work
[02:42] <Poromenos> aha, hmm
[02:42] <hid3>  I've compiled my kernel with raid(1) support. I've set up raid1 in my raid bios. When my machine boots up, I can see in dmesg: raid1 personality registered for level1. What should be my next step to start using the disk array?
[02:42] <darek> hi
[02:42] <Poromenos> why is the new user able to see my files, though?
[02:43] <darek> know someone whats the problem? -> http://wklej.org/id/4dbbd2f4a9
[02:43] <Rico> do you have them marked as world-writable?
[02:43] <Rico> erm, world-readable
[02:43] <Poromenos> no, world-read and execute, though
[02:43] <Poromenos> yes
[02:43] <Rico> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[02:43] <Poromenos> i think they were like that by default?
[02:44] <Rico> Poromenos: chmod o-r filename
[02:44] <Poromenos> i did 0750, is that the same?
[02:44] <mm2000> fyrestrtr: thanks, but i need to install all locales.
[02:44] <Rico> you can leave out the 0
[02:44] <mm2000> any idea how to do?
[02:44] <Poromenos> ah, okay
[02:44] <Rico> otherwise that's correct, 750 = rwxrw----
[02:45] <Poromenos> rwxr-x---, actually
[02:45] <Rico> dammit, yeah
[02:45] <Rico> basically you have a lot of options
[02:45] <Poromenos> damn, apache stopped working
[02:46] <Rico> Poromenos: find out what user apache is using
[02:46] <Poromenos> Rico: How do I do that/
[02:46] <Poromenos> groups apache?
[02:46] <Rico> By default it uses the user 'www-data' and group 'www-data'
[02:46] <Poromenos> ah
[02:46] <Somebody_> hey!
[02:47] <Poromenos> that's it
[02:47] <Poromenos> do I add it to the "poromenos" group?
[02:47] <psyoptik> I'm trying to compile a program from source and I am getting this error when using ./configure: "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables." I just installed a new version of my c compiler. Any iideas?
[02:47] <Rico> adduser www-data poromenos
[02:47] <Poromenos> hmm, still nothing
[02:47] <Poromenos> forbidden
[02:47] <Poromenos> that is odd
[02:48] <Poromenos> do i need to reload?
[02:48] <Rico> are your files under the poromenos group?
[02:48] <Poromenos> that's what ls-l shows
[02:48] <Poromenos> ls -l
[02:48] <Poromenos> oh wait
[02:48] <Rico> restart apache2?
[02:48] <Poromenos> yeah, that group
[02:48] <Poromenos> sec
[02:49] <Poromenos> ok, it works now, thanks a lot :)
[02:49] <manmadha> Is it possible to set our ip as unkown?
[02:49] <Poromenos> by the way, which digit is now apache in the chmod perms?
[02:49] <Poromenos> what are the digits? owner, group, world?
[02:50] <rsl> Isn't there a log for what's been updated via apt-get or synaptic?
[02:50] <tacho> hi, can someone recommend a small graphics editor for ubuntu. Something smaller than GIMP, only as much functionality as mspaint.
[02:51] <lolkaare> Anyone got a guide for installing mpd? On ubuntuforums.org, it requires a download which is not there anymore..
[02:52] <tacho> i guess that's a big 'no'
[02:52] <defrysk> tacho, xpaint
[02:52] <kanotix> hi guys
[02:52] <tacho> defrysk, thanks
[02:52] <kanotix> grub us giving me error 18 after using automatix :(   how do i fix grub?
[02:52] <kanotix> urff
[02:52] <kanotix> sorry
[02:53] <defrysk> kanotix, stop using automatix
[02:53] <defrysk> and go to #automatix for help
[02:54] <arkygeek> it wasnt automatix they say.  is there a grub repair option on the livecd?
[02:54] <defrysk> arkygeek, they say it wasnt we say it was
[02:54] <Wazm> sup?
[02:54] <defrysk> arkygeek, also automatix is not supported by ubuntu
[02:55] <arkygeek> well this is a grub issue now, which is needing fixing with ubuntu livecd.
[02:55] <defrysk> good luck

[03:13] <whyme> does anyone know about ppc's?
[03:13] <wick2o> anyone able to get ubunut to see harddrives connected to a sas raid?
[03:14] <Poromenos> Hi, I have created a symlink as root but the user can't follow it, why is that?
[03:14] <whyme> got a powermac 7200/75...
[03:14] <wick2o> Dell SAS 5/ir Adapter to be exact
[03:14] <whyme> is that good enough?
[03:16] <moridin> anyone can tell me how to configure mpd?
[03:16] <tj_> hey, i've got a toshiba laptop, and it seems that i cant partition, or format his HD, do you have any ideas?
[03:17] <Poromenos> how can I make it so that a user can follow a symlink i made as root?
[03:18] <cyfr> Hi. I want to use icon theme: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=44539 but when I try and drag the file in to theme manager it says file format is wrong
[03:21] <Zaggynl> Anyone in here knows how to get AvP working?
[03:22] <lurker99> Poromenos: Is the target readable or executable by the user directly?  Normally an 'ln -s' gives a world followable link...
[03:22] <POVaddct> Poromenos: the target of the symlink must be readable by non-root. ownership of the symlink itself is not important for that.
[03:23] <davidT> hi all
[03:23] <Poromenos> ah, thanks, i'll try that
[03:23] <Poromenos> i didn't know if i needed to look at the target or the actual symlink
[03:23] <cyfr> can anyone help me?
[03:24] <winterweaver> hey all =D
[03:25] <winterweaver> can someone tell me how I can determine what my internet ip is (It's for TeamSpeak)
[03:25] <Somebody_> how to update gnome to 2.16?
[03:25] <Poromenos> winterweaver: www.whatismyip.com
[03:26] <winterweaver> O.o
[03:26] <jrib> Somebody_: edgy will have gnome 2.16.  It will be released as stable in a couple of weeks
[03:26] <winterweaver> lol
[03:26] <winterweaver> there is a website for that
[03:26] <Poromenos> winterweaver: there are many :p

[03:26] <Poromenos> np
[03:27] <Poromenos> still permission denied, and i have chmodded the directory to 0777
[03:27] <Somebody_> then i'll wait,thank you,jrib.

[03:28] <Poromenos> the parent directory is non-world readable, though
[03:29] <Solopher> Ah okey

[03:31] <wick2o> anyone running ubuntu on a dell poweredge 860??
[03:32] <Poromenos> my symlink appears red to the user's ls, btw
[03:33] <davidT> a quickie one
[03:33] <kmaynard> wick2o, no but i am running on dell hardware
[03:33] <davidT> in theory how much would take a fsck of a 200gb ?
[03:33] <jelly-home> davidT: how may files?
[03:34] <_rodney> Poromenos: check the permissions
[03:34] <jelly-home> many
[03:34] <mjr> depends on file amounts, but I'd guess off the cuff 5-10 min
[03:34] <mjr> just a guess tho
[03:34] <wick2o> kmaynard: mind a private IM?
[03:34] <mnepton> mjr: on a 486/66? ;)
[03:34] <kmaynard> wick2o, im game
[03:34] <_rodney> Poromenos: make sure its readable for users
[03:34] <kmaynard> aim, msn, yahoo, or gtalk? :)
[03:34] <mjr> mnepton, mmh, fsck is not generally cpu-bound, but a 486 will probably have slow buses also...
[03:35] <jelly-home> davidT: how many files?  is it an ext3?  was it mkfs-ed with default options?
[03:35] <davidT> a lot of file and a lot of big ones
[03:35] <davidT> ext3
[03:35] <jelly-home> davidT: by "a lot" do you mean tens of thousands or millions?
[03:35] <davidT> no
[03:35] <davidT> thousands
[03:35] <jelly-home> feh, that's a few.
[03:35] <mjr> that's not a lot :)
[03:36] <darek> what can i do when on ubunu live cd my usb keyboard doesnt work?
[03:36] <davidT> well it is now more than 24 hours
[03:36] <Poromenos> _rodney: permissions are drwxrwxrwx
[03:36] <mjr> davidT, uh oh...
[03:36] <Poromenos> i made a symlink to a directory with ln -s, is that correct
[03:36] <Poromenos> ?
[03:36] <mjr> something rotten in denmark
[03:36] <jelly-home> davidT: that's definitely too much for ext3.
[03:37] <jelly-home> davidT: did fsck report any errors?
[03:37] <davidT> the first time i did with the -a flag
[03:37] <jelly-home> davidT: I'd guess maybe 2-3 hours...
[03:37] <darek> what can i do when on ubunu live cd my usb keyboard doesnt work?
[03:37] <davidT> it did report errors
[03:38] <davidT> ok so something's wrong
[03:39] <davidT> would you stop it ?
[03:39] <jelly-home> davidT: of course pasting the last few screenfuls might help to know if they look like benign errors or not.
[03:41] <brynk> anyone in here using an Epson AL-C1100?
[03:41] <davin> Is it possible to get flash working in Konqueror?
[03:41] <darek> what can i do when on ubunu live cd my usb keyboard doesnt work?
[03:42] <davin> darek: try another one or try ps/2?
[03:42] <ba5e> davin: use firefox!
[03:42] <brynk> smash it on your desk 3 times
[03:42] <darek> davin, ehh i have got only one keyboard...
[03:42] <davin> ba5e: I know it works in firefox but that wasnt my question
[03:42] <davin> darek: mhm does it work out of the live cd?
[03:42] <vbhanu> -NickServ- Password accepted - you are now recognized

[03:42] <vbhanu> vbhanu I am using firefox, and i access net through a proxy server, I would like to block some sites from being accessed from my system. Please tell me how i could do that.
[03:42] <vbhanu> soweto and nmap reports its open??
[03:43] <vbhanu> tiny I was sshing to the box .. now I'v put my dyndns hostname into hosts.allow and it stoped working
[03:43] <vbhanu> sorry!
[03:43] <vbhanu> I am using firefox, and i access net through a proxy server, I would like to block some sites from being accessed from my system. Please tell me how i could do that.
[03:43] <brynk> konqueror sucks, but flash shouldn't be a problem
[03:43] <darek> davin, yes, on windows xp, on linux i didnt checked
[03:43] <davin> darek: cause if you use ubuntu on your harddrive you might be able to compile your own drivers
[03:43] <davin> darek: but seeing as ubuntu live cd didnt recognize it youre pretty screwed
[03:43] <ba5e> davin http://www.konqueror.org/faq/#WhydoesKonquerorcrashoneverypagewithFlash
[03:44] <darek> daved, ok thx
[03:44] <darek> davin, ok thx *
[03:44] <josh_> whats up people... how do i find out how much space a certain directory is taking up on my drive from a commandline standpoint?
[03:44] <ba5e> davin; maybe this is more helpful http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262789&highlight=flash+Konqueror
[03:45] <ba5e> josh_: good question
[03:45] <disasm> darek: thats odd, i use a usb kbd all the time with ubuntu live cd, you must have a really non-standard keybard
[03:45] <josh_> lol i thought so too :P
[03:45] <darek> disasm, my friend ;]
[03:45] <ba5e> i use baobab, bu tthat is not li
[03:45] <ba5e> sorry not cli
[03:45] <disasm> darek: you could try tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug/unplug kbd and watch the system messages go by, see if it shows anything
[03:46] <ba5e> josh_: have a look at 'man ls'
[03:46] <davin> ba5e: doesnt that look in the mozilla/firefox folders? I have Kubuntu without firefox..
[03:47] <ba5e> davin not sure
[03:47] <disasm> darek: the driver associated with 99% of usb keyboards is usbhid.ko or usbkbd.ko could try modprobing both of those and seeing if it has any affect
[03:47] <darek> disasm, ok thx
[03:47] <disasm> darek: of course, now that I'm mentioning this, I realize that your keyboard doesn't work, how are you going to type ;-)
[03:48] <winterweaver> I know this is a bit off topic, but does anyone here know anything about adsl routers and opening ports on it (for my TeamSpeak server), or can you direct me to a channel with support for this ?
[03:48] <ba5e> davin do a search in the forums for 'flash Konqueror'
[03:49] <ba5e> winterweaver: go to www.portforwad.com
[03:49] <winterweaver> tx
[03:49] <disasm> winterweaver: all depends on the router, i know a lot of the dsl companies here don't give users the admin info on the dsl modem/router and you need to call the dsl company to get a port forwarded
[03:49] <ba5e> sorry www.portforward.com winterweaver
[03:50] <winterweaver> thx disasm... will keep that in mind

[03:55] <ubotu> mount: Tools for mounting and manipulating filesystems. In component main, is required. Version 2.12r-4ubuntu6 (dapper), package size 149 kB, installed size 336 kB
[03:55] <solevita> anybody online who could help me with getting surround sound with ubuntu??
[03:55] <A[D] minS> !mount

[03:56] <ba5e> solevita: it depends what sound card you have
[03:57] <solevita> i used to change the sound inputs into outputs with the original sounddriver (that used to be with windows)
[03:57] <raintheory> anyone have any luck with SVIDEO out on nvidia geforce fxgo 5100?
[03:57] <defrysk> surround only works with dvd and stuff , not mp3
[03:58] <A[D] minS> sudo mount /dev/sd1  /media/usb/
[03:58] <A[D] minS> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[03:58] <defrysk> or is this not about 5.1
[03:58] <Mille> howdy
[03:59] <_Rappy_> Why isn't there an option to use LVM during the installation of dapper, like it was in the previous versions. It annoys me ><
[03:59] <solevita> i know that   but i used to have a program  (as i still had windows) that could change the line in and micro inputs to subwoofer, center and rear outputs
[03:59] <raintheory> i'd love to be able to watch videos on the TV thru SVIDEO...
[03:59] <ba5e> yeah you have to have a discrete 5.1 or 6.1 channel for it to work (ie dvd, AC3 etc)
[04:00] <solevita> so you dont happen to know a program for ubuntu (6.06) that can simply change the ports functions?
[04:01] <SUSaiyan> Solopher: viva
[04:02] <Solopher> Das ist wel schon
[04:02] <Chm0d> hey guys how can i completely delete vmplayer so that I can install the server?
[04:02] <solevita> so nobody in here who knows a program that can change sound inputs into sound outputs?
[04:03] <defrysk> solevita, try alsamixer
[04:03] <Chm0d> sorry solevita i dont know that answer
[04:03] <Mille> after i've created some partitions with gparted, after the reboot, suddenly it can't find any of them. i booted with the live cd and the gparted says there is no partition what so ever, BUT, when I boot with the Windows XP cd the partition manager there displays all of partitions that should be there. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
[04:04] <jrnd> join #ubuntu-libre
[04:05] <highvoltage> ok

[04:17] <Peggerr> so why does  The following packages have been kept back:   linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386  happen??
[04:17] <josh_> asmo674hurt: u will need to get opengl loaded on the new computer...
[04:17] <asmo674hurt> josh_ my HDD is back in oldo PC...
[04:17] <josh_> you moved a harddrive that kept all the settings from a previous config... unless the system you put the harddrive in is exactly the same you will need to recongifure
[04:18] <tuqann> eh, hello?
[04:18] <asmo674hurt> josh_, ...old...
[04:18] <josh_> did you take it from the old put it in new and then move back to old?
[04:18] <tuqann> is this where I can find help setting up ubuntu dapper
[04:18] <josh_> or going from new to old?
[04:18] <josh_> yes tuqann
[04:19] <solevita> hmm   something smells nice    dinner is ready!!!!   im out
[04:19] <tuqann> okay, so I just go ahead and shoot my questions here or should I privately discuss it with someone?
[04:19] <asmo674hurt> josh_, from old to new and back
[04:19] <josh_> hmm...
[04:19] <josh_> just shoot them in the room tuqann
[04:20] <tuqann> k, I'm working on a laptop, Amilo M1437g, and my ati isn't letting the xserver work
[04:20] <ch4rm0n3> killing people is bad josh_
[04:20] <josh_> lol depends... some people deserve it
[04:20] <tuqann> I am a complete noob, most of the forums are a few miles ahead of me
[04:21] <josh_> tuqann: you need to install the ati drivers
[04:21] <tuqann> now, I guessed most of the commands "apt-get install" and such need an internet connection, right?
[04:21] <mnepton> correct
[04:21] <josh_> yes tuqann
[04:21] <tuqann> yes, I know, but I never seem to get anything working
[04:21] <josh_> !ati
[04:21] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:21] <tuqann> so so I HAVE to be online in order to fix the drivers?
[04:21] <josh_> tuqann: your online now....
[04:21] <tuqann> I did check this page, I actually have a printout next to me
[04:22] <tuqann> as well as three other more
[04:22] <josh_> ok...
[04:22] <tuqann> but they still confuse the hell out of me
[04:22] <josh_> so you have ati drivers installed?
[04:22] <ch4rm0n3> tuqann: you can instal automatix this program all you have to do is click and install the ati driver and other programs
[04:22] <tuqann> for starters, none of the atp-get commands are working
[04:22] <ch4rm0n3> apt-get
[04:22] <mnepton> please do not use Automatix or EasyUbuntu
[04:23] <ch4rm0n3> why not
[04:23] <tuqann> I'm not sure I am connected when I'm in Ubuntu text prompt
[04:23] <POVaddct> ch4rm0n3: do not recommend automatix here
[04:23] <tuqann> okay
[04:23] <josh_> because of security issues
[04:23] <tuqann> is the program runable on winxp? (I'm duel booting)
[04:23] <asymmetry> Is Anjuta the best bet for a GNOME IDE, or are there other, better alternatives?
[04:23] <mnepton> ch4rm0n3: they can introduce problems that are not easily solved by people new to Linux
[04:23] <Zaggynl> Is there any way to convert a .ebuild to .deb?
[04:23] <ch4rm0n3> ok
[04:23] <josh_> what program tuqann ?
[04:23] <tuqann> automatix
[04:24] <mnepton> tuqann: start Ubuntu, and start Synaptic. do a name search for fglrx. see what you have.
[04:24] <raintheory> tuqann: nope
[04:24] <tuqann> I would need to disconect mirc
[04:24] <andresmujica> hi anyone knows how can i change the status of a bug from unconfirmed to confirmed??  i've been doing some triage trying to confirm bugs but i cannot change its status only make the comment...
[04:24] <tuqann> like I said, I'm duel booting, so everytime I need to check something online or a save webpage I have to restart
[04:24] <mnepton> tuqann: if you can do all that in the next 5 years or so, the channel should still be here ;)
[04:25] <josh_> tuqann: why?
[04:25] <Chm0d> hey guys in ubuntu where is the location of c header files?
[04:25] <josh_> u dont have internet on your ubuntu side?
[04:25] <Rur0un1> andresmujica, add a comment, afterwards you will be able to change it
[04:25] <ChaosFan> Chm0d: usually /usr/include/ or somewhere like that
[04:25] <Rur0un1> Chm0d, try locate ?
[04:25] <tuqann> haahaa, but I was hoping I can clear something of the things now, seeing that I have to move in like 20 minutes
[04:25] <Chm0d> thx
[04:26] <tuqann> ahhh, if I only thought of IRC ealier
[04:26] <kes> hi all
[04:26] <mnepton> tuqann: no to fix anything until you're in Ubuntu. and no way to tell what the exact solution is until you do a little investigation.
[04:26] <raintheory> kes: hello
[04:26] <josh_> tuqann: switch to your ubuntu, do "sudo apt-get install irssi"
[04:26] <josh_> its a text irc program for linux
[04:26] <kes> hi rain how's things?
[04:26] <Mad3Max3> Hi.. wonder if I could get some help.. having problem with the ubunti install
[04:26] <tuqann> k
[04:26] <mnepton> tuqann: can you get on the 'net from Ubuntu?
[04:26] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, what's wrong ?
[04:26] <raintheory> not too bad
[04:27] <josh_> do a /connect irc.freenode.com
[04:27] <raintheory> brb...
[04:27] <tuqann> just tell me, how can I check if I'm actually connected online
[04:27] <ChaosFan> tuqann: just ping something
[04:27] <Heldon> Hello all- Quick question. I'm trying to set up a LAMP server, but can't get into the GUI interface, Tried a apt-get update, but it doesn't reconize my network. I have a static IP, but i don't think it is seeing my dns. Is there a way to set that up manually?
[04:27] <mnepton> tuqann: launch GAIM and use it to connect here
[04:27] <josh_> open a command prompt and type in "ping www.yahoo.com
[04:27] <GuyFromHell> hello folks, can someone help me get my cdrom drive to work on a dell D610? The mount command simply freezes after password input
[04:27] <tuqann> and if I get "Network is unreachable"
[04:27] <mnepton> tuqann: or try Firefox, or ping, or ...
[04:27] <josh_> if you can ping a website your connected
[04:27] <tuqann> like what happened 10 minutes ago
[04:27] <kes> i wonder tah someone explain me how to install wm ware tools..
[04:27] <josh_> are u using dialup?
[04:27] <Rur0un1> GuyFromHell, searched the forums ?
[04:27] <ChaosFan> tuqann: then you aren't connected or your dns is broken ;)
[04:28] <Dr_willis> kes,  you mean VMware tools?
[04:28] <asmo674hurt> yesterday i'we take HDD & insert in other PC. now i can't run any application wich need OpenGL, what I need to do???
[04:28] <mnepton> tuqann: in a terminal, "ifconfig"
[04:28] <tuqann> ipconfig
[04:28] <GuyFromHell> Rur0un1: yea, as best as I could
[04:28] <josh_> kes, load your vmware environment and then go to "tools", install vmware tools"
[04:28] <kes> yes dr wiilis
[04:28] <Rur0un1> kes, there are excellent howtos in the forums
[04:28] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, well.. my comp won't boot the ubuntudisc.. it stops right after I select.. start in the menu..
[04:28] <tuqann> ahhh, not ipconf
[04:28] <mnepton> tuqann: no, ifconfig
[04:28] <tuqann> hoookay
[04:28] <kes> how tos?
[04:28] <tuqann> k
[04:28] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, what do you select from the menu ? Boot or install ?
[04:29] <Dr_willis> kes,  I used the vmware server packages, and downloads from the vmware site to install them  on the guest Os's . vmware server has a feature to auto-install them on windows whichis nice.
[04:29] <mnepton> tuqann: if the primary ethernet interface has an IP address, you probably have DNS issues.
[04:29] <kes> really?
[04:29] <Dr_willis> !vmware
[04:29] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[04:29] <tuqann> gonna try it now, if it didn't work guess I'll try it later
[04:29] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, something with the CD if i look at the errors.. but there can't be.. this is the 5th cd I've tested.. and I have tested the cd on my main computer and it worked
[04:29] <kes> ok but the problem is
[04:29] <tuqann> thanks for the help
[04:29] <tuqann> later\
[04:29] <Rur0un1> GuyFromHell, normally you dont need to mount a Cdrom drive, If I were you I would check if people with same computer had any problems from google first
[04:29] <kes> first i can't go the tools until
[04:29] <kes> guest sistem boot
[04:30] <Heldon> Anyone?
[04:30] <kes> and after it0s no possible
[04:30] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, the first one on the menu..
[04:30] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, your CD-writer might be problematic. How did you make that 5 cds ?
[04:30] <kes> :(
[04:30] <kes> ok
[04:30] <GuyFromHell> Rur0un1: allright I'll try again but like I said, I already checked. I'll be back soon so don't go too far ;-)
[04:30] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, there is also a checksum in the cd rom
[04:30] <josh_> who uses NFS?
[04:30] <ChaosFan> Heldon: u want to set up your dns info manually?
[04:31] <kes> i have only a iso
[04:31] <Dr_willis> kes you made no sence..   Normally i run the vmware server. start the guest os. then install the vmware tools.
[04:31] <Rur0un1> GuyFromHell, you have to first assure someone is capable of running the same hardware, then seeking a solution might work
[04:31] <Heldon> yes, because i can't get the update so i can go into the desktop
[04:31] <kes> yes doc
[04:31] <Heldon> no internet = no update
[04:31] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, I burnt the CD with Nero.. with low speed.. but I tested the Ubuntu CD with my main computer first and it worked
[04:31] <ChaosFan> Heldon: edit (as root, e.g. by using sudo) your /etc/resolv.conf
[04:31] <kes> but it doesn't work ro me
[04:31] <ChaosFan> Heldon: add your dns server there in a line "nameserver <ip>"
[04:32] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, if you have any other *nix computer, please check the checksum in the CD
[04:32] <kes> i see i'll try
[04:32] <ChaosFan> Heldon: and look at the output of the ``route'' command (sudo route), there should be your gateway, if not, do ``sudo route add default gw <ip of router>''
[04:32] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, it's the Check cd feature in the menu right?
[04:32] <Heldon> what if that is blank?
[04:32] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, secondly try to boot the problematic computer with say another bootable like windows XP
[04:32] <ChaosFan> i'm away
[04:32] <kes> thanks...damn i'm crazy for this:(
[04:32] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, yes that will do
[04:32] <Heldon> ChaosFan: What if that is blank?
[04:33] <josh_> anyone? NFS?
[04:33] <ChaosFan> Heldon: if what is blank?
[04:33] <Mille> after i've created some partitions with gparted, after the reboot, suddenly it can't find any of them. i booted with the live cd and the gparted says there is no partition what so ever, BUT, when I boot with the Windows XP cd the partition manager there displays all of partitions that should be there. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
[04:33] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, well in matter of fact.. I tested an old knoppix disc I had.. and it worked
[04:33] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, did you check it recently ?
[04:33] <kes> thanks to all to information and tips thank a lot
[04:33] <Heldon> ChaosFan: The resolv.conf I did a vi on it and it is blank
[04:33] <kes> :)
[04:34] <josh_> Heldon: then you have to add them in therer
[04:34] <ChaosFan> Heldon: then write "nameserver <ip of dns server", if you want multiple lines
[04:34] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, at what part of booting you got problems, do you get an error message ?
[04:34] <ChaosFan> if you have more than one nameserver
[04:34] <ChaosFan> then dns should work
[04:34] <ChaosFan> i have to go now, sorry
[04:34] <Heldon> Thanks
[04:34] <salestodo555> what i need to do if i have read this: " OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0' "??? 2 days ago it goes perfectly!
[04:34] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, I built the computer yesterday and tested the knoppix after the Ubuntu failed. Have pretty much tested everything so I thought I'd ask someone
[04:34] <marcepan> hi. I need graphic suite like e.g Corel Draw, is there something similar in the repositiories?
[04:35] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, and what kind of error do you get ?
[04:35] <josh_> marcepan: gimp not good enough for ya?
[04:35] <marcepan> josh_, I need to draw geometrical objects etc, gimp is more for painting and image manipulation methinks
[04:36] <marcepan> josh_, and gpaint is not enough
[04:36] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, "[190.241885]  hdc, ide_intr: huh? expected null handler on exit
[04:36] <josh_> ok get inkspace
[04:36] <oslo> hi! ; how could i tape what i see on my desktop to an video file ?
[04:36] <josh_> or inkscape
[04:36] <josh_> its one of those
[04:36] <marcepan> josh_,  will give it a try, thanks
[04:37] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, at what stage ?
[04:37] <josh_> npo
[04:37] <josh_> np
[04:37] <bionoid> marsu: xfig, gnuplot, for more complex things you might want to look into blender
[04:37] <Zaggynl> Gah, I'm trying to compile aliens versus predators, but I seem to be missing a dependency, no clue which one
[04:38] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/70483-cant-install-ubuntu-kubuntu.html
[04:38] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, I have fetched a laptop now.. shall check teh checksum on the cd.. and lets see what it says..
[04:38] <SeanTater> My laptop suddenly decided to use fglrx, out of the blue, but now my pc only supports 640x480 and even smaller resolutions. Here's my paste: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27003/ what do I do?
[04:38] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, try searching some part of the error in google or ubuntu forums
[04:38] <GuyFromHell> Rur0un1: Yea I can't find anything. Everything I find shows that it is working for whoever it is.
[04:38] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, the first stage.. after the kernel has been unpacked or something and it tries to mount
[04:39] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, as I read it from google it is because Bad CD drive or bad image burn only
[04:39] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, let's see how the checksum results
[04:40] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, yeah.. it seems odd doesn't it
[04:40] <Rur0un1> GuyFromHell, sorry I don't know. Check your log files in /var/log, may be you can find something
[04:41] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, is it finished ?
[04:41] <Mad3Max3> nope.. just started..
[04:41] <GuyFromHell> Rur0un1: do you know of any more verbose mount command that I could try ti get something from?
[04:41] <M_A_K> I cant seem to get rid of a default route.
[04:42] <jeli> Is there a simple way to remove some of the preinstalled Ubuntu software without it wanting to take ubuntu-desktop?
[04:42] <Rur0un1> GuyFromHell, man mount
[04:42] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, I even changed the firmware in the DVD burner I burnt the disc in and reburnt it..
[04:42] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, I dont know, what does the checksum say ?
[04:42] <GuyFromHell> Rur0un1: *slaps self* of course.  I would say concentrate on CD or the CDROM/DVDRom what ever
[04:45] <Angie121> not
[04:46] <Angie121> whrer are you from
[04:46] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, one final note, your downloaded iso itself may be broken after all
[04:46] <M_A_K> Anybody know why my default route goes back to and old one after a reboot even if I change it?
[04:46] <casiciaco> does anyone knows how to make work the powerplay of the X700?
[04:47] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, how come it boots on one comp.. but not the one I want it to boot in..
[04:47] <M_A_K> I have tried the sudo route delete df gw (ipaddress) as well as trying to set it via network settings.
[04:48] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, I have seen some incompatibilities between some discs and drives. And neither disc or drive is broken
[04:48] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, Im gonna try changing the DVD in the machine.. maybe it has reading problems.. what can I say.. it's a samsung
[04:48] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, you may try to burn the ISO from a different writer
[04:48] <casiciaco> So nobody konws about X700, powerplay and ubuntu, does someone?
[04:48] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, nero sucks by the way
[04:49] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, what shall I use instead of nero?
[04:49] <M_A_K> mad3max3 : haven't seen the entire conversation, but I have had trouble booting from disks that arent the master on the chain.  I assume you have checked the boot sequence in the bios.
[04:49] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, I don't know if there are any alternatives in windows, you may search it in google. in linux there are applications like K3b
[04:50] <Mad3Max3> M_A_K : I have CD-ROM first in the boot.. and then HD
[04:50] <clarkphp> Hello! 5-day Ubuntu user - loving it!  I wish to try out Eclipse (I'm an old vi user) and am wondering which package I should apply: "ecj-bootstrap", "ecjboostrapt-gcj" or both?  Descriptions for both packages include: "This bootstrap version should be used for uploading initial versions of packages which are a dependency of Eclipse and build with ECJ".  I'm guess the gcj version, as it "contains a native version of ecj using
[04:50] <M_A_K> K, is the drive master or slave?
[04:50] <zardinuk> how do you figure out which version of ubuntu you have?
[04:50] <Mad3Max3> M_A_K : Master on IDE 0.
[04:51] <Mad3Max3> M_A_K : tried setting it as Slave.. and I tried to switch IDE port
[04:51] <GuyFromHell> Rur0un1: FYI I was able to solve the problem in the simplest way possible...  I booted a old Knoppix disc I had lying around. and it booted
[04:53] <zardinuk> Chm0d: use locate
[04:53] <Chm0d> what do i type after locate?  header?
[04:53] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, CD done now.. 0 errors on the checksum
[04:53] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, sorry I am outta ideas
[04:54] <ubuntunubi> hello
[04:54] <ubuntunubi> can someone tell me which version did ubuntu run on
[04:54] <ubuntunubi> ?
[04:54] <Rur0un1> but still I would say it is a CD problem
[04:54] <GuyFromHell> Rur0un1: Thanks for your help :-) I'm gonna go give this back to the girl that I was working on this for.
[04:54] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, well Im gonna try with another DVD player next.
[04:54] <M_A_K> Then it must bee in the way the disc was burned.  I would agree with rur0un1, it must be media related.
[04:54] <ubuntunubi> X windows type
[04:54] <Rur0un1> GuyFromHell, could you fix it ?
[04:54] <ubuntunubi> X.org or Xfree
[04:54] <morphix> will edgy actually be released in oct :P
[04:55] <morphix> that jmicron problem is a real pain.
[04:55] <clarkphp> FYI on Eclipse install: marking the gcj package automatically marks the other one.  All is well.  Up and running.
[04:55] <Chm0d> locate header
[04:55] <Chm0d> ugh
[04:55] <A[D] minS>  tar -cvvf to make file.tar
[04:56] <A[D] minS> what about tar.bz2?
[04:56] <Mad3Max3> it has nothing to do with me Having SATA drive.. haven't formatted it or anything.. when installing XP u have to create disks and crap to make SATA work. is it that way in Linux aswell?
[04:56] <POVaddct> A[D] minS: tar -cvjf

[05:00] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, Although I haven't run it (since I stay away from beta sowftware ) almost all the comments on it says, "Edgy rocks and Edgy is superior over dapper". Though It brings some edge programs which are itselves beta, most people found it stable
[05:00] <mnepton> richee: Winmodem?
[05:00] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3, still I would recommend wait a couple of weeks
[05:01] <ba5e> richee: whats wrong?
[05:01] <Mad3Max3> Rur0un1, gonna download it.. try if it boots.. u never know! :D
[05:01] <richee> mnepton: it's the internal modem which came with my laptop....It's configured and ATZ also says OK and also ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
[05:01] <richee> OK
[05:01] <richee>  says ok
[05:01] <kmaynard> edgy is nice. there's a lot of updates to it, and some compatibility issues (looking to you, truecrypt), but so far so good
[05:01] <Rur0un1> Mad3Max3,  in your situation it makes sense
[05:01] <chrishoeppner> anyone for a network monitor?

[05:05] <peder_> Can anyone recommend a imap and smtp server working fine on ubuntu?
[05:06] <mnepton> richee: the problem is that you fdo not have a modem, you have a sound card. that's a Winmodem. and Winmodems are nothing but sound cards that do all their modulation in software.
[05:06] <berent> could not open /initialize audio device no sound is the message by mplayer when i am user and works fine when root
[05:06] <berent> no one here for the taking
[05:06] <richee> mnepton: oh!
[05:06] <Peggerr> so why does  The following packages have been kept back:   linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386  happen??
[05:06] <richee> mnepton: so what can be done about it ?
[05:07] <mnepton> richee: there are some Winmodem solutions (some sl-modem-daemon or something) but they are tricky.
[05:07] <richee> mnepton: that's package I installed and gnome-ppp and also wvdial are querying the modem.....
[05:08] <mnepton> richee: OK, i'm not familiar at all with that package. i haven't used a modem in a long, long time.
[05:08] <Zaggynl> arf, almost succeeded in compiling avsp :<
[05:08] <Gasten> If I find a programming-language which gEdit doesn't provide syntax-highlightng for, how can I specify my own?

[05:08] <GTX-> Where can I get a script from, so when a process dies it starts it again
[05:08] <mnepton> richee: do you *need* the modem, or are you just curious?
[05:09] <mnepton> Gasten: what language?
[05:09] <richee> mnepton: I need the modem, I want to configure this device with ubuntu/linux
[05:09] <freddybidouille> french
[05:09] <Gasten> mnepton: ChucK.
[05:10] <kmaynard> external modem
[05:10] <Gasten> mnepton: why?
[05:10] <mnepton> Gasten: got a working JRE?
[05:10] <Gasten> mnepton: I'm not sure. I think I have.
[05:10] <Gasten> mnepton: Yes, I do.
[05:11] <Gasten> more or less..
[05:11] <assobachant> bonjour
[05:12] <mnepton> Gasten: you'll want Sun's Java 1.5, available via Synaptic. then run "sudo update-java-alternatives -l" and find the Sun version on the list. then run "sudo update-java-alternatives name-of-the-sun-version-you-find"
[05:13] <mnepton> Gasten: then head over to http://jedit.sf.net and get the Java installer for jEdit. get jEdit installed, and the ChucK syntax highlighting module is here - http://www.jesusgollonet.com/blog/?p=135
[05:14] <Gasten> mnepton: thanks!
[05:14] <kes> hi all
[05:14] <GTX-> Where can I get a script from, so when a process dies it starts it again
[05:14] <kes> i wonder ..are there italian rooms here?
[05:15] <sheriff> i want to download Ubuntu dapper to my system but my can i use the x86 version of it because my proccessor is Amd 64?
[05:15] <mnepton> !it
[05:15] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[05:16] <kes> grazie ubotu ma e' solo x capire una ocsa ritorno tra poco...
[05:16] <mnepton> Gasten: not only do you get ChucK highlighting, but jEdit is a *kickbooty* editor.
[05:16] <xav> sheriff, amd 64 is compatible with x86, so yes you can use both version
[05:17] <Gasten> mnepton: what's "kickbooty"?
[05:17] <mnepton> sheriff: you can easily use the x86 version, but once you get it installed get the k7 kernel and restricted modules via Synaptic for the AMD-specific love
[05:18] <mnepton> Gasten: a word to mean "really, really good" without profanity (this channel is family friendly)
[05:18] <sheriff> mnepton : what is k7?
[05:18] <kes> ma nn li trovo
[05:18] <kmaynard> k7 is AMD
[05:19] <mnepton> sheriff: 386 = Intel 386/486  | 686 = Pentium II or better | K7 = 32 bit Athlon (which your 64 is most similar to)
[05:19] <Gasten> mnepton: Aah. ok. I'll look at it when I get some time over. In my experience, Java tends to run painfully slow. But I got a ducky computer.
[05:19] <afief> How can i open an LIT document in Ubuntu?
[05:20] <mnepton> Gasten: to be honest, on a find/replace on an 800Kb file on my machine, jEdit is more than four times as fast as gEdit
[05:20] <femi> i need help with the permissions settings in ubuntu
[05:20] <femi> who can help me'
[05:20] <kmaynard> femi, with what?
[05:20] <mathieu> mnepton: 686 is Pentium Pro or better
[05:20] <femi> i have a problem
[05:20] <femi> i can't do anything cause i guess i've messed up something
[05:20] <GTX-> Where can I get a script from, so when a process dies it starts it again
[05:21] <femi> my sound device does'nt work
[05:21] <kmaynard> can you be a little more specific
[05:21] <sheriff> mnepton: well if i dont get it , the system not gonna work?
[05:21] <mnepton> mathieu: i'd stick with 386 on PPro myself. got burned long ago. :/
[05:21] <femi> and practically everything in the administrator menu has disappeared
[05:21] <kmaynard> what changed?
[05:21] <mnepton> sheriff: it will work fine. but the k7 kernel will give you much better performance
[05:21] <femi> can i pvt you?
[05:21] <Gasten> mnepton: ah. I'm not gonna argue about that. I'll see how it runs. Back to homework.
[05:21] <kmaynard> femi, you say you messed something up...how?

[05:23] <sfilleul> hi
[05:24] <sfilleul> Do we have some chance to see fontconfig 2.4.1 in edgy (is in debian now) ?
[05:24] <cfm> My 6.06 server is up and has a name in /etc/hostname, but how do I get the name pushed out to my LinkSys router?
[05:24] <kmaynard> cfm, what for?
[05:24] <gnomefreak> sfilleul: join #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions
[05:25] <cfm> kmaynard: So I can access it by name from a different machine
[05:25] <SlayedbyGouki> ok this is starting to hack me off...I installed wpasupplicant and wpa-gui....I went to look for the wpa_supplicant.conf file and it doesn't exist in /etc/   wtf?
[05:26] <tonyyarusso> cfm: Wouldn't you just add it to the hosts on the other machine?
[05:26] <kmaynard> cfm, if you're accessing it internally, just use the ip or add the host to the hosts file of the remote machine. if you're trying to get in from outside, you'll need to open the right port(s) to your server
[05:26] <sfilleul> thx gnomefreak
[05:26] <gnomefreak> SlayedbyGouki: check in home under hidden files
[05:27] <raintheory> brb...   switchin to linux
[05:27] <cfm> Hmm, that's not ideal.  It uses DHCP and I have over 20 machine that need to access it.
[05:27] <kmaynard> access it how? samba?
[05:27] <joeCoT> cfm: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/02/06/fix-hostname-unknown-in-router/
[05:27] <femi> kmaynard, can u help me?
[05:27] <cfm> kmaynard: HTTP initially, but svn later
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> cfm: You could set up the router to always use the same IP for it.
[05:28] <SlayedbyGouki> gnomefreak: Ok still when I try to run wpa_gui it says it can't connect to x server...is it necessary to edit the .conf file?
[05:28] <gnomefreak> SlayedbyGouki: dont know but i would assume so
[05:28] <cfm> joeCoT: Ah, interesting, I'll give that a go
[05:28] <kmaynard> cfm, dude, if its http you just need to configure apache accordingly
[05:28] <gnomefreak> !wpa > SlayedbyGouki
[05:28] <gnomefreak> SlayedbyGouki: check your pm from ubotu
[05:29] <SlayedbyGouki> gnomefreak: thanks
[05:29] <gnomefreak> yw
[05:29] <cfm> kmaynard: I don't think Apache will help - the box isn't publishing it's name, so I can't ping it etc.
[05:29] <kmaynard> so, what are you using for http?
[05:29] <kmaynard> because if its browser access, your other boxen should be able to resolve the hostname
[05:29] <Mad3Max3> Must be error in the Ubuntu bootdisk,, have tried everything
[05:30] <joeCoT> bbiab
[05:30] <cfm> kmaynard: But without there being any name to access the box by, how can the clients connect?
[05:30] <cfm> Machine's rebooting now with joeCoT's fix...
[05:31] <kmaynard> what server are you running?
[05:31] <SlayedbyGouki> Unfortunately that information shows for version 5.10 of Ubuntu?
[05:31] <cfm> kmaynard: Server is irrelevant I tihnk, but t's Apache2
[05:32] <kmaynard> it's not irrelevant! it's the whole issue
[05:32] <SlayedbyGouki> !wpa
[05:32] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:32] <kmaynard> if you configure apache correctly, your browsers can access that box using the hostname. I HAVE DONE IT TRUST ME
[05:32] <kmaynard> thats internally...if you want external access, it's gonna take some DNS
[05:33] <femi> heeelp
[05:33] <cfm> But if a computer cannot ping by name, it can't resolve the machine at all.  How does the webserver fix that?
[05:33] <kibbled_bits> does anybody have trouble adding menu items via Alacarte?
[05:33] <berent> could not open /initialize audio device no sound is the message by mplayer when i am user and works fine when root
[05:33] <femi> please help me
[05:33] <femi> i can't do anything
[05:33] <kibbled_bits> is it just me or does that menu editing system seem worthless?  ;)
[05:33] <berent> any takers for this?
[05:33] <kibbled_bits> what's up Femi
[05:34] <SlayedbyGouki> If he can't connect using the machine name hosts probably is missing entries..
[05:34] <sparkleytone> berent: is your user a member of the audio group?
[05:34] <berent> yes i added
[05:34] <femi> i have a problem with permission
[05:34] <der0b> cfm: you need to either add the hostname to ip mapping for that machine to your hosts file or set up a dns server (dnsmasq is an easy one to config and maintain)
[05:34] <femi> can i explain it in private
[05:34] <sparkleytone> berent: when did you add?  just now?
[05:34] <femi> so i don't get messed up?
[05:34] <kibbled_bits> shoot, pm me
[05:34] <berent> yes
[05:34] <berent> shud i reboot
[05:34] <SlayedbyGouki> berent: Use gxine less hassles
[05:34] <PSUSI> berent: did you log the user out and back in again?
[05:34] <kmaynard> a book on networking might help
[05:34] <sparkleytone> berent: now restart your window manager
[05:35] <berent> window manager ? who is that
[05:35] <sparkleytone> berent: just reboot then
[05:35] <PSUSI> log out and back in again
[05:35] <berent> ok
[05:35] <SlayedbyGouki> berent: Ctl+Alt+Backspace
[05:35] <SlayedbyGouki> HEh
[05:35] <Ninja562> hello, I am upgrading from hoary to breezy, after the updates download...what do I do next?
[05:36] <sparkleytone> apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:36] <Mad3Max3> oh.. Kernal Panic.. that a intressting error.,. 4 DVD drives and now a CD-ROM driver..
[05:36] <Ninja562> done
[05:36] <PSUSI> you mean apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:36] <SlayedbyGouki> What...why not upgrade to Dapper?  sudo apt-get update....sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:36] <Ninja562> running
[05:36] <kibbled_bits> femi I have PMed you, if you need help
[05:36] <Mad3Max3> well atlest it goes past the moutning part
[05:36] <sparkleytone> he already got the updates
[05:36] <cfm> kmaynard: Please don't speak to me like that, I don't think I deserve it.
[05:37] <Ninja562> I was told to upgrade to brreezy, then dapper
[05:37] <SlayedbyGouki> Ninja: Ahhh...
[05:37] <kibbled_bits> does anybody here have any luck with Alacarte?
[05:37] <cfm> der0b: Will a DNS server on the box itself trigger the publishing of the hostname to the upstream DNS then?
[05:37] <Ninja562> the update is taking a while and I wanted to know if there was a reboot or something needed
[05:38] <AsheD> any way to do a search and return any files with non-alphanumeric characters?
[05:38] <Zaggynl> Hi, how do I get X to run at 60hz instead of 75hz? (my LCD monitor it's optimal rate is 60hz)
[05:39] <der0b> cfm, you'll just be setting up a private dns server.  You'll just tell your machines to use it as a lookup.  If you need to get to the machine from outside of your network you'll want to get yourself a dyndns account
[05:39] <SlayedbyGouki> Ninja562: Nope...it will do it all and inform you if it needs to reboot..can take a while...
[05:39] <Ninja562> OK
[05:39] <cfm> der0b: I want this machine to get it's IP via DHCP, so the clients can't use it for DNS
[05:39] <Ninja562> I am hoping Dapper will rresolve my amd64 isues
[05:40] <cfm> der0b: I guess what I'm after is what Windows does automatically! :-/
[05:40] <der0b> cfm, if you set up dnsmasq as your dhcp and dns server it won't be a problem.  In general, if you have a machine "serving" you set it to a static IP.
[05:40] <kibbled_bits> Zaggynl: try /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:41] <kibbled_bits> find the section under monitors with frequencies
[05:41] <kibbled_bits> comment out the other lines and put a line for 60 in there
[05:41] <SlayedbyGouki> cfm: I believe you are confusing the situation...DNS will be provided by DHCP to the clients unless you tell it otherwise in the network setup
[05:41] <kibbled_bits> should be pretty straightforward
[05:41] <der0b> cfm: I can't get to my windows machines by name without using the hosts file or a dns server
[05:41] <kibbled_bits> then hit CTRL-BKSPC
[05:41] <cfm> der0b: Yes, but Windows boxes publish their DNS to the upstream server.
[05:41] <freekill> just use linux :p
[05:42] <SlayedbyGouki> freekill: Indeed
[05:42] <cfm> I already have DHCP provided by my router, which provides DNS as well.  I can't switch DHCP to this box, unfortunately.
[05:42] <Zaggynl> kibbled_bits, okay
[05:42] <der0b> cfm, I'm not sure what you mean by upstream server
[05:42] <elias_> I have a linux host with a pptp connection to the internet. how can I share this with my windows vmware instance?
[05:42] <freekill> What linux distro do you use SlayedbyGouki?
[05:42] <Zaggynl> kibbled_bits, I could only find     HorizSync       30.0 - 65.0 VertRefresh     50.0 - 75.0
[05:43] <SlayedbyGouki> Uhhh..Ubuntu Dapper?
[05:43] <cfm> der0b: Sorry, I mean that a Windows box on my network registers itself with the router, and can be accessed by name without any other config.
[05:43] <cherubiel> Zaggynl: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:43] <andyshack> cfm : is this for parsing urls for apache ? im setting up a dns server tomorrow as ive had enough of using either proxies or the windows hosts files to parse url info to apache.
[05:43] <cfm> andyshack: Nope, sorry!
[05:43] <cherubiel> Zaggynl: follow on-screen instructions, backup your old. working xorg.conf before doing this. revert back if it craps up.
[05:44] <der0b> cfm, It's using it's windows hostname when registering..  your linux machine doesn't have one
[05:44] <Zaggynl> cherubiel, cheers
[05:44] <JoeCoT> cfm: to set your windows hostname, you'd need to configure samba for it
[05:44] <der0b> cfm, I think there's a way to config the linux machine to register with a specific name but I don't know how
[05:44] <freekill> Does anyone here also has got troubles  with ati drivers for ubuntu if i install them everything fails so nog i dont have direct rendering
[05:44] <cherubiel> !X
[05:44] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[05:45] <femi> anybody can help?
[05:45] <femi> i have 4 partitions on my disk
[05:45] <femi> (17:22:11) femi: and i wanted to access one of them to store some data
[05:45] <femi> (17:22:20) femi: because the home one was filling up
[05:45] <femi> (17:22:45) femi: so i tried to mount the partition on my home directory
[05:45] <femi> (17:23:08) femi: it worked, cause under preferences it sayd i was the owner
[05:45] <femi> (17:23:25) femi: but i hadn't the permission to change the read/write settings
[05:45] <femi> (17:23:42) femi: then ubuntu automatically logged off and re logged on
[05:45] <femi> (17:23:49) femi: but it didn't work anymore
[05:45] <femi> (17:23:51) femi: i mean
[05:45] <femi> (17:23:57) femi: i didn't have any sound
[05:45] <femi> (17:24:43) femi: i only have device manager, network tools, printing, storage device manager, system log and system monitor in the administration menu
[05:45] <femi> (17:24:56) femi: and neither does the root terminal work anymore
[05:45] <femi> (17:25:17) femi: and the partition that i tried to mount doesn't work anymore
[05:45] <femi> (17:25:25) femi: i mean, it says i cannot access it
[05:45] <femi> (17:25:37) femi: so what have i done?
[05:45] <femi> (17:29:01) femi: now it says the other partitions are unknown user
[05:45] <cherubiel> hey cut the flooding!
[05:46] <wrabbit^> !flood
[05:46] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:47] <cfm> I'm afraid I think I'm confusing matters by mentioning Windows!  I'll try and restate my problem.
[05:47] <SurfnKid> ok why is there a problem copying files already existing in a destination
[05:47] <SurfnKid> when clicking on replace, it actually doesnt copy them,just replaces the folders
[05:47] <SurfnKid> not the files
[05:47] <femi> ok sorry
[05:48] <femi> but can anyone help?
[05:48] <cfm> My 6.10 box needs to pick up DHCP from my LinkSys router, but needs to be pingable by name from other machines on the network.  Is that even possible?
[05:48] <Subhuman> cfm, yes
[05:49] <JoeCoT> cfm: yes. For most interactions, it'd be using the hostname set in your dhcp.conf ; for windows network interactions, it'll use your hostname from your samba config
[05:49] <Subhuman> cfm, on your routers config, you can set "reserved ips." in your dhcp conf, jus enter an ip and the mac adress of your machine, then your router will always assign the pc with that mac address, the same ip.
[05:49] <femi> is tehre anybody who can help?
[05:49] <kmaynard> whats wrong with static for the one box?
[05:50] <gnomefreak> femi: most people dont read when people flood put the paste in pastebin and give us the link someone might look at it
[05:50] <andyshack> cfm : subhuman has a point, that will allow you to keep your dhcp config on your ubuntu box.
[05:50] <kmaynard> my servers are always staic...it's just easier
[05:50] <andyshack> likewise. cfm : with networking, it really can help to just have static ip's on smaller networks.
[05:51] <cfm> kmaynard: Unfortunately static isn't an option here, it needs to be DHCP.
[05:51] <JoeCoT> cfm: then set the hostname in your dhcp.conf and in samba. that's all you need to do
[05:52] <cfm> JoeCoT: I'm not running a DHCP server on the Ubuntu box, so have no dhcp.conf
[05:52] <andyshack> cfm : are you just wanting to be able to type in \\servername and then just see the shared drives ?
[05:53] <femi> how do i open pastebin?
[05:53] <boink> !pastebin
[05:53] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:53] <cfm> andyshack: No, right now I just need to ping by name.  I'll sort out the network services later.
[05:53] <cherubiel> cfm: try dyndns
[05:53] <JoeCoT> cfm: you have no dhclient.conf ?
[05:54] <JoeCoT> #send host-name "andare.fugue.com";
[05:54] <andyshack> cfm : i have a generic 6.10 with samba running and that works fine.. it does however have a static ip although im not sure that it really makes that much difference once the machine has authenticated itself through your router. does it people ?
[05:55] <femi> ok anybody hel me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27010/
[05:55] <cfm> JoeCoT: I have dhcpclient.conf yes, and I applied that change after you mentioned it before.
[05:55] <femi> please
[05:55] <JoeCoT> restarted networking? any affect? are the other machines unix or windows?
[05:55] <andyshack> i just tried to ping servername and it worked fine.
[05:55] <cfm> JoeCoT: I bounced the whole box, just to be sure.  Windows client isn't able to ping by name
[05:56] <sfeehan> Does anyone know the ubuntu equivalent of the debian base-config command?
[05:56] <JoeCoT> cfm: then set up the hostname in samba for windows networking
[05:56] <cfm> JoeCoT: I'll look into it, thanks
[05:57] <cfm> Hmm, no Samba installed.  One moment while I apt-get it...
[05:57] <andyshack> thats your problem cfm
[05:58] <cfm> Does Windows ping use netbios names then?
[05:58] <Mad3Max3> I hope the ubuntu team can sort their installer out so it will boot..
[05:58] <PSUSI> yea, windows can use netbios for name resolution
[05:59] <beligum> Does someone know of some good Linux-based visual art projects?
[05:59] <JoeCoT> cfm: i know if does for all file sharing, dunno about hostname resolution period
[05:59] <femi> anybody seen my problem? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27010/
[05:59] <femi> please help me if possible
[05:59] <der0b> cfm, you're router may use netbios for name res, so you would need samba configured
[05:59] <der0b> *your
[05:59] <Ninja562> the update is still going...
[06:00] <cfm> der0b: Ah, now that would make sense - I see now.
[06:00] <Mad3Max3> to bad thou.. the ubuntu dist was a perfect OS for me.. but since it won't boot and install.. I can pretty much use it as a coffecup tray
[06:00] <raintheory> okay guys...    I'm on my laptop running Dapper, and I want to connect to my desktop running Edgy (via VNC or something like that), what is the easiest way to accomplish this?
[06:01] <andyshack> femi : i cant help you with your partition problem, sorry.
[06:01] <femi> ok
[06:01] <raintheory> I already have the remote stuff set up on edgy
[06:01] <PSUSI> raintheory: enable vnc and use it?
[06:01] <kmaynard> raintheory, you might wanna try www.nomachine.com
[06:01] <femi> so does the installation cd resolve my problem
[06:01] <femi> is it possible?
[06:01] <JoeCoT> raintheory: vnc for desktop, sftp or samba for files
[06:01] <kmaynard> you can use vnc too, but its laggier
[06:01] <SurfnKid> guys how can i make a link to my usb drive to show as a list on apache web server?
[06:01] <raintheory> what about Gnome-RDP?
[06:02] <andyshack> femi : maybe wait a while and someone will get back to you. have you made all of these partitions in ubuntu ? i mean : these are not windows partitions right ?
[06:02] <klm-> is there a free pdf editor (which I could use to fill out pdf forms) for ubuntu?
[06:02] <cfm> JoeCoT, der0b: Yes, that was it!  Many thanks for all your help
[06:02] <femi> no
[06:02] <femi> not windows
[06:02] <PSUSI> raintheory: no, RDP is the windows remote desktop protocol
[06:02] <femi> they are ubuntu ext2/ext3
[06:02] <JoeCoT> cfm: no problem
[06:02] <meheren> how do i reconfigure a package
[06:02] <PSUSI> meheren: dpkg-reconfigure packagename
[06:02] <meheren> ah thx so much
[06:03] <raintheory> okay i'll try VNC at the moment (since I'm more familiar with that)..   i'll let you know what happens
[06:03] <raintheory> should i just grab it from synaptic?
[06:03] <JoeCoT> raintheory: search the forums for shareX11vnc . might be a good setup for you
[06:03] <Mad3Max3> is there anywhere I can report the fatal problems with the ubuntu bootdisc?
[06:03] <raintheory> JoeCot: thanks i'll check that out
[06:03] <JoeCoT> raintheory: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45565&highlight=sharex11vnc
[06:04] <PSUSI> Mad3Max3: yes... file a bug report
[06:04] <morbid88> hey guys. Anyone know how to reset root password on mysql? I tried following the guidelines in this page, but it didn't work. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[06:04] <h0ax> i have abit of trouble with my sound drivers i need ac97 onboard drivers and cant find them
[06:04] <Mad3Max3> PSUSI : ok..
[06:05] <dom-chilln> i try to install a vpn server on my Xubuntu, try it with this documentation (german) http://www.uni-koblenz.de/GHRKO/VPNUbuntu , installed the software, but than i should use a Applet to add a new VPN...dont know how to get there
[06:05] <andyshack> femi : i do not know if one may mount drives with the live cd. ive not tried. i assume it creates a ram drive allowing read write access so possibly one could. perhaps run the live cd, mount all of the partitions and see which one it is that you are meant to be booting from.. i think you may wish to then have a play with grub (there is a program called super grub disk that i have used before that helped) and boot off your old partition
[06:05] <h0ax>
[06:05] <andyshack> ..working for you in the first place ? im not very good as i said with mounting things.
[06:05] <morbid88> could anyone please help me reset the root password on mysql server?
[06:06] <JoeCoT> morbid: you tried starting it with skip grant tables? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1476548&postcount=5
[06:06] <morbid88> JoeCoT: I tried both solutions.
[06:06] <morbid88> JoeCoT: neither one seemed to work.
[06:06] <Rookie_> morbid - dpkg-reconfigure mysql
[06:07] <andyshack> femi : do you have any data in any of these partitions that means anything to you ?
[06:07] <JoeCoT> morbid88: what happened when you did skip grant tables?
[06:07] <andyshack> femi : sometimes, it really is just easier to nuke the thing and start again.
[06:07] <dom-chilln> how get i to this nice window, where i should add svn options : http://www.uni-koblenz.de/GHRKO/pics/VPN/ubuntu/Schritt1 (sorry, me is very new at linux operating systems)
[06:07] <femi> i have a lot of data i need
[06:07] <femi> but it's only on one partition
[06:07] <klm-> can I fill out pdf forms in ubuntu for free?
[06:08] <morbid88> JoeCoT: I managed to connect, but I couldn't do anything. I followed the guide in the reference manual, including updating the password and flushing the priviliges.
[06:08] <femi> i am afraid that if i installed ubuntu on the other free partition
[06:08] <morbid88> nada.
[06:08] <femi> i wouldn't have the permissions to access my old data
[06:08] <JoeCoT> morbid88: and it updated the table?
[06:08] <femi> is it possible?
[06:09] <femi> is it possible to burn dvd's with the livecd os?
[06:09] <andyshack> femi : i cannot answer that. i would assume not although as its your data and im a noob best seek additional help.
[06:09] <jaks> anyone got experience with fuse/obexftp ?
[06:09] <jaks> *obexfs
[06:09] <andyshack> femi : yes i think i saw someone burn a cd with the live cd.
[06:09] <femi> ok then
[06:09] <femi> i'll try
[06:09] <femi> thanx and bye
[06:09] <LabThug> Can anyone tell me which package I need to install to watch the CNN videos under Opera?

[06:11] <Anybody> how can i launch beep media player in terminal?
[06:11] <JoeCoT> cryptonic: have you tried using the noapic option at the installation prompt?
[06:11] <LabThug> gnomefreak, it's already installed.  I think CNN uses WMVs now
[06:11] <cryptonic> well i didnt see an installation prompt
[06:11] <jaks> Anybody: surely just run the command from a Terminal Window?
[06:11] <cryptonic> just some options
[06:11] <der0b> labthug: have you installed the win32codecs package?
[06:12] <LabThug> der0b: yes
[06:12] <morbid88> JoeCoT: how to I pastebomb?
[06:12] <morbid88> !pastebomb
[06:12] <morbid88> ... that didn't work...
[06:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebomb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:12] <JoeCoT> cryptonic: which install cd? have you tried to alternative install cd?
[06:12] <morbid88> oh, got it it's in the subject.
[06:12] <cryptonic> right so does anyone know what could cause an error like that?
[06:13] <Rookie_> !pastebin

[06:14] <cryptonic> i wonder if it has anything to do with that new bootloader
[06:15] <JoeCoT> morbid88: do that again, but afterwards, run the query: "select * from mysql.user where PASSWORD=PASSWORD('12345')"
[06:15] <dom-chilln> can somebody explain me how i could install a vpn server on my xubuntu?
[06:16] <Ninja562> what is the diff between Dapper and Kubuntu?
[06:16] <JoeCoT> morbid88: after updating the password. i want to see if that's what the password's set to. you'll notice the query matched 1 and changed 0
[06:16] <W9ZEB-Lars> what's the site that talks about the differences between 6.10 and current?
[06:16] <dom-chilln> installed all entries in the package manager which i found with "vpn" (network manager pp. etc) but how could i configer it?
[06:16] <morbid88> cherubiel: thanks, I found it :-)
[06:17] <morbid88> JoeCoT: I noticed that. I tried another method, the one found at this page http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[06:17] <morbid88> but it got the same results.
[06:17] <Rookie_> morbid88 dpkg-reconfigure mysql
[06:17] <PSUSI> Ninja562: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome... Dapper is the current stable release of ?buntu

[06:18] <Ninja562> Oh, thanks..Both are amd64 good 2 go?
[06:18] <morbid88> JoeCoT: let me try that other thing you wanted me to do. bbiab.
[06:18] <JoeCoT> morbid88: yes, i want to see if the password is /already/ 12345, and there's something else that's the issue
[06:18] <PSUSI> Ninja562: yes, there are amd64 builds of Ubuntu and Kubuntu
[06:19] <Ninja562> I am running one now, the update and upgrade process understand the diff and take care of it..yes?

[06:21] <deedubb> Hello. I have a question - is there a way to get the gd2 library for php without installing x11-common? If I compile it myself does it still require x11-common?
[06:21] <klm-> can I fill out pdf forms in ubuntu for free?
[06:21] <boink> sure
[06:21] <LabThug> hmmm, let's try clicking the play button
[06:21] <cfm> morbid88: You don't have a root@localhost user?
[06:21] <JoeCoT> morbid88: okay, have you tried restarting and logging in?
[06:21] <LabThug> well, that hung it...yay!
[06:22] <morbid88> JoeCoT: with a trailing slash http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27012/
[06:22] <JoeCoT> morbid88: cfm brings up a good point
[06:22] <morbid88> it seems to me that I did get a result, but why isn't it accepting it on login?
[06:23] <X92|James> Hi.
[06:23] <jaks> deedubb: you'll probably still need the x libraries
[06:23] <dom-chilln> hihi ... can somebody help me to install a vpn server on my xubuntu?
[06:23] <JoeCoT> morbid88: if you still can't login, try: "UPDATE mysql.user SET Host='localhost' WHERE USER='root';"
[06:23] <BlueEagle> dom-chilln: apart from apt-get install vnc-server and configuring it?
[06:23] <ROBOd> hello
[06:23] <BlueEagle> ubotu: tell dom-chilln about anyone
[06:24] <X92|James> I've just got Ubuntu in the post.
[06:24] <ROBOd> how to access an usb sticky? 1gb data
[06:24] <X92|James> And basically, I'm a n00b.
[06:24] <X92|James> Any advice. :)
[06:24] <jaks> X92|James: put the cd in your cd drive
[06:24] <jaks> and reboot
[06:24] <jaks> and then you're free
[06:24] <X92|James> Yeah.
[06:24] <X92|James> I know that. :)
[06:25] <X92|James> Can I run from the disk?
[06:25] <jaks> well theres not much else to it
[06:25] <jaks> you can
[06:25] <X92|James> And how do I get mIRC or anything to work?
[06:25] <SlayedbyGouki> Ok so I tried running wpa_supplicant with -Dtest -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf...now it says it couldn't run it because there may have been an unclean exit the last time the command ran....how to check for the errant temp file?
[06:25] <X92|James> Or cant I?
[06:25] <jaks> it's a LiveCD
[06:25] <JuNkPhreak> \quit
[06:25] <jaks> mIRC is Windows only
[06:25] <richiefrich> yes
[06:25] <jaks> but you could always run it through wine
[06:25] <X92|James> Thought so.
[06:25] <X92|James> WINE?
[06:25] <X92|James> I've heard of that.
[06:25] <Gwildor> why for?
[06:25] <JuNkPhreak> man havent used irssi in long time
[06:25] <X92|James> And Crossover Office.
[06:26] <JoeCoT> X92|James: it's a livecd, so yes. if you have questions, ask on the forums, search the wiki, or ask here. no mIRC, but there's xchat. most windows programs have a linux alternative. if there's not, you can run it in wine.
[06:26] <JuNkPhreak> anyone here using sparc box for servers for ubuntu ?
[06:26] <LabThug> X92|James: Wine adds the stability of Windows to the user-friendlyness of Linux :-)
[06:26] <X92|James> What is WINE?
[06:26] <X92|James> OK. :)
[06:26] <deedubb> X92|James, you'll love the IRC clients linux has, they're more powerful then mirc and they make you look ubber nerdy
[06:26] <jaks> lol LabThug
[06:26] <X92|James> Windows isnt stable though...
[06:26] <LabThug> yep, and Linux isn't user-friendly
[06:27] <X92|James> OK...
[06:27] <LabThug> but Wine lets you run Windows applications on Linux
[06:27] <dom-chilln> BlueEagle:i am very new a linux, have install all packets which i found, when i searched "vpn", is that all? or have i to download more?
[06:27] <JuNkPhreak> it will be as time go's on
[06:27] <JoeCoT> X92|James: wine is a windows api handler, ie it lets you run windows programs. You're probably better off running a linux program though, if one's available.
[06:27] <Mad3Max3> where can I download the edge version.. since the dapper is crap
[06:27] <JuNkPhreak> it has made alot of changes sence the start
[06:27] <X92|James> What about Crossover Office
[06:27] <X92|James> And is WINE free?
[06:27] <deedubb> $$
[06:27] <X92|James> Where do I get it?
[06:27] <X92|James> ARGH!
[06:27] <X92|James> lol
[06:27] <Shin_Gouki> itsfree
[06:27] <richiefrich> Mad3Max3 you mean debian ?
[06:27] <jaks> Wine is free and you get it by "apt-get install wine"
[06:27] <Shin_Gouki> use google
[06:27] <morbid88> JoeCoT: sorry, I was lagging fro some reason (probably still am). Did i miss anything after I gave you the new pastebin/
[06:27] <morbid88> ?
[06:27] <Gwildor> X92|James, WINE is NOT worth it jsut for mirc...
[06:28] <JoeCoT> morbid88: if you still can't login, try: "UPDATE mysql.user SET Host='localhost' WHERE USER='root';"
[06:28] <X92|James> I knwo.
[06:28] <X92|James> But games etc.
[06:28] <ROBOd> how to access an usb sticky? 1gb data
[06:28] <jaks> for games, you're gonna want cedega
[06:28] <X92|James> Anyway, BRB.
[06:28] <X92|James> Ubuntuing.
[06:28] <kulbir> Is there a toolset for creating PDF files on Linux?
[06:28] <richiefrich> ROBOd mount it
[06:28] <X92|James> OK.
[06:28] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, no I mean v6.10 of Ubuntu. and not the 6.06.1 dappar.. that has a crap bootload
[06:28] <X92|James> Thanks all.
[06:28] <deedubb> GRANT all on * to root identified by 'password'; flush privileges;
[06:28] <X92|James> How about MSN Messenger?
[06:28] <Gwildor> ROBOd, plug it in...
[06:28] <X92|James> Shoudl I just use webmessenger, or is there a Linux equivalent.
[06:28] <jaks> apt-get install gaim
[06:29] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, since the 6.06.1 wont boot.. maybe the beta will
[06:29] <ROBOd> richiefrich: how?
[06:29] <JoeCoT> X92|James: for games, you can try wine, cedega, or crossover office. they all have varying results, but none are going to run games at full speed (as fast as windows)
[06:29] <X92|James> :(
[06:29] <klm-> kulbir: msg me if you get the answer :P
[06:29] <X92|James> Anyway, be right back.
[06:29] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, And it's called edgy or something I belive
[06:29] <kulbir> klm-: lol
[06:29] <jaks> X92|James: there gaimwhich is an IM for anything, or aMSN which is more for MSN
[06:29] <kulbir> klm-: sure
[06:30] <richiefrich> Mad3Max3 i suggest a differ distro.. or did you try to pass any boot options
[06:30] <klm-> kulbir: thanks!
[06:30] <richiefrich> ROBOd i need to know some info 1st
[06:30] <jaks> heh i want windows live messenger on ubuntu..
[06:30] <W9ZEB-Lars> what's the actual release date of Edgy?
[06:30] <ROBOd> got it working
[06:30] <ROBOd> thanks guys

[06:30] <georgy> jaks : gaim or install amsn
[06:30] <richiefrich> bitlee
[06:30] <cga> hi , how do i see if i have a .deb installed ? (not in repos btw)
[06:31] <jaks> georgy: i know i know, i use gaim. but i like windows live - gaim's boring!
[06:31] <defrysk> cga, you can see it in synaptic when u use the filters available
[06:31] <richiefrich> bitlbee
[06:31] <W9ZEB-Lars> jaks: you could try, although I doubt it'll work knowing Microsoft, using wine or Crossover Office
[06:31] <cga> defrysk, i'm on kubuntu and don't use synaptic , any CLI ?
[06:31] <Gwildor> it probably needs .net
[06:32] <jaks> i got msn messenger 7 running through wine.. anything newer doesn't work
[06:32] <W9ZEB-Lars> jaks: since most new Microsoft products check to see what version OS you're on, I doubt it'll work.
[06:32] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, well.. the Dapper has problem reading my discs.. so it's a disc reading problem.. and since my dvd driver can read dists like Knoppix.. I belive it's the Dapper bootdisc that is corrupt
[06:32] <defrysk> cga, can be done on cli but not sure how
[06:32] <JoeCoT> morbid88: any luck?
[06:32] <cga> defrysk, thanks anyway =)
[06:32] <Zaggynl> Hi, I've been trying to get my monitor to run at 60 hz (it's optimum refresh rate), but I can't find a way how to set that :(
[06:32] <Zaggynl> The Gnome tools only lists 75hz
[06:32] <richiefrich> Mad3Max3 does knoppix boot
[06:32] <mr_daniel> under ubuntu a nice weather-applet is available
[06:32] <mr_daniel> but
[06:32] <JoeCoT> Zaggynl: in your xorg.conf
[06:32] <defrysk> bad wetaher too
[06:32] <W9ZEB-Lars> The None beta release date for EdgyEft is?
[06:32] <mr_daniel> where the program get's the weatger-data?
[06:33] <jaks> and cxoffice has win98/200 'bottles' -- live msgr needs xp!
[06:33] <mr_daniel> and the cool small icon's
[06:33] <defrysk> mr_daniel, in the prefs
[06:33] <Zaggynl> JoeCoT, I tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and editing xorg.conf, but still nothing :(
[06:33] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, Yes.. without any errors..
[06:33] <SlayedbyGouki> fsck people...I can't find the frickin' D-Link DWL 620+ listed on the compatible list for ubuntu..it works or I wouldn't be typing to you right now...anyone know which chipset this uses? They vary by model..duh
[06:33] <JoeCoT> Zaggynl: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=472868
[06:33] <Zaggynl> thanks
[06:33] <mr_daniel> defrysk: i am not asking how to set the location, I am asking for the source where the weather-data come from ?
[06:33] <richiefrich> Mad3Max3  can you  try to pass options at boot on dapper idk i have not used it
[06:34] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, but knoppix isn't my taste in dist.. like the ubuntu.. Just dl knoppix so see if it would boot on my new comp.. and it did..
[06:34] <jaks> SlayedbyGouki: you might be able to figure out the chipset from lspci/lsusb
[06:34] <meheren|> i need to set up a extremely secure proxy and firewall does anyone have some suggestions for progroms to use?
[06:34] <richiefrich> Mad3Max3 no i am sure but there are many
[06:34] <kmaynard> meheren|, linksys :)
[06:35] <meheren|> ok thx
[06:35] <richiefrich> Mad3Max3 as for why it doesnt boot  there can be many reasons
[06:35] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, I can pass options before starting the boot.. in the menu
[06:35] <nn> whats a good cd-burning app in gnome (ubuntu/dapper preferably) that can do audio from mp3/ogg? :)
[06:35] <richiefrich> Mad3Max3 if you can then try
[06:36] <defrysk> nn, serpentine
[06:36] <Mad3Max3> richiefrich, try what?
[06:36] <W9ZEB-Lars> meheren|: if you've got an old pc laying around, and a couple/few network cards, take a look at ipcop.org
[06:36] <nn> Ahh, thank you :)
