[00:01] <X-plo> Hello ppl, I am unable to get my usb hub to work (D-Link DUB-H7 7-Port USB Hub) and wondered if anyone could possibly help me with this problem.
[00:01] <ChrisBookwood> jrib: thinking gets harder in these late hours -.-

[00:01] <radovich> i have hardy and interpid installed. i use hardy grub. i want to make ibex be default. how to edit menu.lst do make that happen?
[00:02] <Killeroid> radovich: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and find the line that says default 0, 0 means grub bootas the first option by default, so if you change it to 1 it will boot the second option by default and viceversa
[00:02] <Tonno> dekkong, is that page have the WINE in .deb ?
[00:02] <tj83> QUESTION: I have bumped into something that bugs me..... if i do ls --help is says that: -h, --human-readable       with -l, print sizes in human readable format(e.g., 1K 234M 2G) however... how does one determine how much data is in contained in a directory? not the size of the directory file itself?
[00:02] <dekkong> Tonno: yes it has
[00:03] <radovich> Killeroid, than you very much
[00:03] <jrib> tj83: du -sh
[00:03] <Tonno> dekkong, Thanks :) I gonna download it now

[00:13] <log_nick> does anyone know about puppy linux here?
[00:13] <emorris> Killeroid: hi, tried disabling the b43, but it didn't work. Got a feeling "Broadcom B43" is the driver and "wl" is the firmware
[00:13] <emorris> log_nick: a bit
[00:13] <log_nick> emorris i have nexuiz and it doesnt seem to run, something about glx visual isnt' working
[00:13] <Killeroid> emorris: are you using a dell?
[00:13] <emorris> Killeroid: yes
[00:13] <Killeroid> emorris: which one?
[00:13] <emorris> Killeroid: 1505
[00:13] <logivision> How sensitive is Ubuntu to hardware changes????
[00:14] <emorris> Killeroid: inspiron
[00:14] <Killeroid> emorris: i know exaclty what the problem is, i also use an e1505
[00:14] <log_nick> emorris would you happened to know how to setup glx visual or whatever needs to be done?
[00:14] <emorris> log_nick: doesn't puppy linux use xvesa?
[00:15] <log_nick> it can...but i use xorg
[00:15] <log_nick> emorris both options are available..
[00:16] <emorris> log_nick: taking a guess, you might have to install a propriety driver for your graphics card
[00:16] <logivision> If i need to change a processor or motherboard do I have to re-install Ubuntu or will it keep working no problem???
[00:16] <stevej678> need a link to read on configuring virgin broadband, or should i wait till 8.10?
[00:17] <krlitos> hey i am having trouble enableing my desktop effects after enableing my card
[00:17] <log_nick> emorris im on a gateway laptop...
[00:17] <csilk> krlitos,  what card?
[00:17] <Killeroid> emorris: basically, the new wl driver cant subside with the ssb, b43 driver but your modem uses the b44 driver which relies on the ssb driver. so for wl to work, you hav to blacklist b43, b44 and ssb but then you can use wired connections cos your modem deosnt have a driver.
[00:17] <Killeroid>  so you have to choose between using b43 and keeping your modem driver or using wl and having a really fast wireless connection but not being able to use a wired connection.
[00:17] <Guest20398> ,
[00:17] <emorris> Killeroid: yes? is it anything to do with this really bad network bug in intrepid?
[00:17] <emorris> woops
[00:18] <Killeroid> emorris: no, the network bug is something else
[00:18] <krlitos> nvidia
[00:18] <X-plo> Hello ppl, I am unable to get my usb hub to work (D-Link DUB-H7 7-Port USB Hub) and wondered if anyone could possibly help me with this problem.
[00:18] <csilk> krlitos,  oh rite, sorry I only have experience with ATI
[00:18] <emorris> Killeroid: ssb?
[00:18] <krlitos> ok
[00:19] <Killeroid> emorris: ssb module, both b43 and b44(the modem driver) rely on it
[00:19] <DINK> If I'm trying recover a fat32 partition that been partitioned to a different FS with TestDisk, should I partition the drive back to fat32 before running TestDisk or other recovery software?
[00:20] <emorris> Killeroid: ok, thanks. i'll probably stick with b43 for now. it works.
[00:20] <krlitos> some one knows about how to enable my desktop effects after enableing my nvidia card
[00:21] <krlitos> i am new at this
[00:21] <Killeroid> emorris: yeah, i always use wireless so it was easy for me to just switch to wl and junk the b43,b44, ssb driver. when i want to use a wired connection, i just manually unload the wl driver and then load the b44 and ssb driver
[00:21] <storrgie> Can anyone help me with some wireless issues
[00:21] <Killeroid> !ask | storrgie
[00:22] <emorris> Killeroid: sounds a pain in the arse TBH
[00:22] <strtok> anyone know how to tell ubuntu to "fix" nvidia drivers? both the kernel modules and the proprietary drivers
[00:22] <strtok> i had installed them manually and for some reason now my kernel updates fail because of missing dependencies
[00:22] <logivision> How sensitive is Ubuntu to hardware changes????????
[00:22] <storrgie> I have a WRT56G, Ralink chipset. It was just connected to my wireless network, when I restarted it connects to the network but says 0%, and I cant get an IP
[00:23] <krlitos> i enable my card drivers and when i am going to enable my desktop effects it says that it can not be enable
[00:23] <Killeroid> emorris: i use the wired connection, once in every month, so its perfect for me to use the wl for the rest fo the time. faster speeds when i sue wl instead of b43
[00:23] <Killeroid> *use
[00:24] <khalood_> ?
[00:24] <jspp_> Yay
[00:24] <jspp_> I got my wifi working
[00:25] <emorris> log_nick: i was going to suggest #puppylinux, but I see you're already there. you could also try #ati or #nvidia for info re. proprietry drivers
[00:25] <khalood_> I have 1 primary drive that has windows, 1 extended contains 4 logical drives , now , should what should I make the extra drive for / ? primary or logical ?
[00:26] <chilly> #ubuntu-es
[00:26] <storrgie> I have a WRT56G, Ralink chipset. It was just connected to my wireless network, when I restarted it connects to the network but says 0%, and I cant get an IP. Anyone using this card? I have never had this issue before so I dont know how to diagnose it further
[00:27] <strtok> "Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[00:28] <khalood_> ????? any answer?
[00:28] <emorris> Killeroid: interesting. are there any other advantages of wl over b43?
[00:28] <GaMbi_DK> Umm.. im in ccsm atm.. Iw saw some kewl videos with the cube.. but cant get it to work.. the desktop wall and all the other effects works perfectly! but Cant get the damn cube to appear.. anyone who can help? could it be due to my TV-out?
[00:28] <logivision> Will changing a motherboard or processor run you into any problems if you don't re-install Ubuntu?
[00:28] <GaMbi_DK>  anyone who got the cube desktop to work with tv-out? :)
[00:28] <khalood_> I have 1 primary drive that has windows, 1 extended contains 4 logical drives , now , should what should I make the extra drive for / ? primary or logical ?
[00:29] <marcules> Is there in xchat a setting to prevent showing nicks which could be too long?
[00:29] <storrgie> I have a WRT56G, Ralink chipset. It was just connected to my wireless network, when I restarted it connects to the network but says 0%, and I cant get an IP
[00:30] <Killeroid> emorris: signal quality is better, b43 used to output a lot of errors ito my system log, no more errors ever since i started using wl. Personall, the greatest perk is the speed. very vast difference for me.
[00:31] <DINK> If I'm trying recover a fat32 partition that been partitioned to a different FS with TestDisk, should I partition the drive back to fat32 before running TestDisk or other recovery software?
[00:32] <DINK> or if anyone can point me in the direction of a chanel might be able to help
[00:33] <Killeroid> DINK: you most probably wont be able to recover anything since you wiped the old partition and then installed a few FS. ask in ##linux but i am pretty sure they will tell you the same
[00:33] <DasEi> DINK:its not formatted yet ? only parti-table ?
[00:35] <Killeroid> DasEi: since he repartitioned to a different FS, he most definitely formatted it
[00:35] <storrgie> how do you force restart a wireless card?
[00:35] <DINK> I just created a new 1 partition
[00:35] <DINK> so I'm not sure
[00:35] <ubuntu_todd> how to see text website in terminal?
[00:35] <thiebaude> dink:are you dual-booting?
[00:36] <bruenig> ubuntu_todd: use a text browser
[00:36] <DINK> thiebaude: This is on an auxilarly drive
[00:36] <DINK> so no
[00:36] <DasEi> DINK:if you formatted, it'll be quite impossible to recover any data
[00:36] <Killeroid> ubuntu_todd: use elinks
[00:36] <LjL> ubuntu_todd: are you looking for a text-mode web browser?
[00:36] <ubuntu_todd> Yes.
[00:36] <Killeroid> ubuntu_todd: sudo apt-get install elinks
[00:36] <LjL> ubuntu_todd: try one of these - elinks, lynx, w3m, edbrowse, netrik
[00:36] <DINK> DasEi: would a format on a 1 TB drive take a long time?
[00:36] <thiebaude> !w3m
[00:36] <LjL> !info w3m
[00:37] <DINK> DasEi: because I seem to remember it taking like less than a minute
[00:37] <thiebaude> thanks ljl
[00:37] <FeiRuoWa> hello. i heard that somebody in here may know of a kswahili channel on freenode somewhere?
[00:37] <DasEi> DINK:depends on machine, generally yes
[00:37] <ubuntu_todd> Is that save to use text browser?
[00:37] <LjL> FeiRuoWa: #ubuntu-sw perhaps
[00:37] <DasEi> DINK:good sign
[00:38] <LjL> ubuntu_todd: sorry, i didn't understand your question
[00:38] <Killeroid> ubuntu_todd: yes, no javascript is run so you should be very safe
[00:38] <LjL> Killeroid: i believe w3m (and perhaps others) support javascript
[00:38] <DasEi> DINK:can you tell a litttle mre about the environment ? ubuntu machine ? sys drive ?
[00:38] <ubuntu_todd> Hehe. Does every website have a text mode?
[00:39] <LjL> ubuntu_todd: no. next to no websites do. these browsers just let you see *normal* websites as text.
[00:39] <DINK> DasEi: because I'm running TestDisk right now and it's just taking bloody forever and I'm wondering If I should have partitioned it back to fat32 because I might be able to recover data that way if can work in a fat32 environment (it's looking like it's going to take ~3 days to complete the scan)
[00:39] <storrgie> i am having issues with my wireless card can anyone help me, it is a WRT56G, and was working 10 minutes ago... i dont know how to troubleshoot it
[00:39] <krlitos> what are the reason why i could not ennable my desktop effects after installing my card and compiz
[00:40] <ubuntu_todd> Killeroid: So what's the advantage of using text websites?
[00:41] <DasEi> DINK:can you tell a litttle mre about the environment ? ubuntu machine ? sys drive ? steps taken until now ?
[00:41] <DINK> DasEi: it was an external 1TB drive that I was moving files off of (to be backed up :/  ) and I thought I had all the files off of it so I turned the drive into HFS+ but then realized that I hadn't moved off all the data
[00:41] <Killeroid> ubuntu_todd: i dont understand your question. if you are asking the advantages of using a text browser, then i guess, i use a text browser when i have no need to render the imageso n a website , i just want t read
[00:42] <ubuntu_todd> Killeroid: Same for me. But it is a little bit difficult to use. Cause I have used the GUI for many many years.
[00:42] <LjL> ubuntu_todd: err... then use the GUI
[00:43] <thiebaude> killeroid:too many commands in w3m, the text browser, didnt even know where to enter a web address
[00:43] <storrgie> comon noone has ever had to diagnose wireless problems? i would just like to know where to start
[00:43] <Killeroid> thiebaude: i use elinks, the learnnig curve is very gentle IMO
[00:44] <ubuntu_todd> LjL: Sometimes I like in terminal to make program and listen to music using mpg123. But most of my time I use firefox to browser.
[00:44] <thiebaude> killeroid:is elinks in the repositories?
[00:44] <Killeroid> thiebaude: yes
[00:44] <LjL> !info elinks | thiebaude
[00:44] <khalood> i have one primary partition , 1 extended , do I have to make a dedicated primary partition for ubuntu or i can use the extended ?
[00:44] <thiebaude> kewl, i'll try it and see what happens, ljl,killeroid
[00:44]  * mgroman is wondering ... who let the dawggs out?!?!oneone!
[00:44] <LjL> khalood: you can use the extended (and create logical partitions in it), if you want
[00:45] <LjL> khalood: but you can have up to 4 primary partitions, so do you really need an extended?
[00:45] <LjL> !offtopic | mgroman
[00:45] <khalood> LjL: no , because I already have it , so why creating a primary unless it has extra benefits
[00:46] <DasEi> DINK:I see, then testdisk is one solution, until you couldn't help with gparted (don't FORMAT!), also hdparm could help or pc inspector file recovery from a win machine, BUT try not make changes on and on on the disk
[00:46] <khalood> LjL:  I already  have  1 primary , 1 extended with 4 logical partitions
[00:46] <LjL> khalood: well, it can be slightly confusing sometimes with partition names
[00:46] <LjL> khalood: ah well, in that case you certainly need an extended, if you have 5 in total
[00:46] <musashi> i am trying to boot intrepid in vbox and i get an error about "this kernel requires an x85-64 cpu but only detected an i686." I have a 64 bit CPU and run 64 bit hardy right now. any idea what i'm missing? i don't see a config option for this.
[00:46] <DasEi> DINK:what a machine is doing the testdisk job ?
[00:46] <LjL> !intrepid | musashi
[00:47] <thiebaude> killeroid:that's neat and its easy to use, just type a web site address
[00:47] <thiebaude> elinks
[00:47] <khalood> LjL: no , there is only 1 primary , those 4 logically are inside the extended
[00:47] <musashi> LjL, yes. i'm aware. i usually play with beta versions this way or with a full install
[00:47] <LjL> khalood: right, so anyway you have 5 "real" partitions (stuff containing data) in total... one is a primary and four are logical
[00:47] <storrgie> Can anyone assist me in troubleshooting my wireless card?
[00:47] <khalood> LjL: yes
[00:47] <LjL> musashi: if you're aware then why are you asking here?
[00:48] <musashi> LjL, ah, missing the bit about the other channel. my bad
[00:48] <Killeroid> thiebaude: yeah, g  to open a url , t to open new tab, insert to scroll up and delete to scrool down, plus elinks supports the mouse
[00:48] <khalood> LjL: should I create a primary for the ubuntu or make it beside the 4 logical
[00:48] <khalood> LjL: so they will be 6 in total ( adding a /swap )
[00:49] <LjL> khalood, i'd make a primary personally
[00:49] <LjL> khalood: but it's really up to you
[00:50] <khalood> LjL: if they have similar benefits then i'd go with primiary
[00:50] <maco> i'm trying to compile a kernel for class.  it's <IP_ADDRESS>, and i have a .config.  when i "make oldconfig" on centos5, it does its thing without question.  on ubuntu it asks about 20 questions instead of just following the .config.  why?
[00:50] <dr_willis> maco,  i would guess the ubuntu kernel source has some patches that dont have answers in the .config
[00:51] <maco> dr_willis: but im not using ubuntu's kernel source
[00:51] <dr_willis> maco,  no idea then.
[00:51] <maco> dr_willis: i'm trying to compile a vanilla kernel. it compiles on centos, but not on ubuntu
[00:51] <dr_willis> lets look at !kernel
[00:51] <dr_willis> !kernel

[00:54] <Ron_Paul_> Does anyone know how to setup SMTP authentication for Zimbra? If you do, please open chat with me!
[00:54] <mgroman> Ron_Paul_: try #zimbra
[00:54] <GeOcs> I've been there, but I'm new in Linux and I don't understand much of the instructions
[00:54] <mgroman> fine im leaving
[00:55] <krlitos> can anyone help me to ennable my desktop effects i am new at this
[00:56] <LjL> khalood, the only benefit the primary doesn't give you is the ability to later add even more primary partitions. but since it seems you already have a few, that might not be an issue.
[00:56] <krlitos> :)
[00:57] <dr_willis> krlitos,  you must have the proper drivers set up for your video card first.. tell the channel your video card.  If its ati/nvidia - the hardware-driver tool should set them up for you
[00:57] <dr_willis> !nvidia | krlitos
[00:57] <DrX> how do you fix x windows won't start?
[00:57] <krlitos> i allready enable my card its an nvidia an its in use
[00:58] <krlitos> and i downloaded compiz
[00:58] <DINK> DasEi: I had a phone call let me read your messages
[00:58] <jrib> krlitos: "downloaded compiz"?  What do you mean?  It's installed by default
[00:59] <Wintervenom> I managed to fix my DSDT file, but for some reason the ACPI module occasionally gets killed for some reason when Ubuntu boots, and powernowd freezes up.
[00:59] <postersandguitar> I have nvidia-settings. where do I go to tell it what kind of monitor I have and the res?
[00:59] <storrgie> when i connect to my wireless network it just says 0%
[00:59] <Wintervenom> Is there anything I can do to fix that?
[00:59] <Guest85278> Can I compress a XFS, JFS, ReiserFS ou Ext4 filesystem to save diskspace like in NTFS?
[00:59] <DasEi> DINK:I see, then testdisk is one solution, until you couldn't help with gparted (don't FORMAT!), also hdparm could help or pc inspector file recovery from a win machine, BUT try not make changes on and on on the disk
[00:59] <DasEi> DINK:what a machine is doing the testdisk job ?
[00:59] <DasEi> DINK:if it was a fat 32 sys before, maybe a win machine can do a better job than an ext -optimized system
[00:59] <DINK> ah thanks I was reading above :D
[01:00] <maco> i'm trying to compile a vanilla kernel on ubuntu with a .config from class.  on centos5, "make oldconfig" does not ask questions. on ubuntu it does.  why?
[01:00] <DasEi> np, get a flood-spot, lol, DINK
[01:00] <dasickis> hey
[01:00] <krlitos> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

[01:01] <dasickis> how do i figure out what compact flash reader do i have?
[01:01] <krlitos> my card is an riva tnt2 64pro

[01:03] <DINK> natalisushka: handbrake is nice
[01:03] <DasEi> Guest85278: can compress unused files or back em up elsewhere
[01:03] <krlitos> it says could not be enable

[01:05] <Flare183> !dvd | natalisushka
[01:05] <DINK> DasEi: well I know which device the drive is and the old File system (fat32) so are you saying find the old partition headers (I think that's the term) and restore the drive taht way?
[01:05] <Guest85278> DasEi, Compress using gzip ou bzip2 files?
[01:05] <Flare183> sry wrong one
[01:05] <Guest85278> DasEi, Oh no.. it's so boring like compressing every file I'm not using with zip on windows and after uncompressing it manually before an access..
[01:05] <Berto> Hi - Firefox automatically saves PDF files, but i want it to give me a choice.  Where do I change that default option?
[01:06] <storrgie> my wireless network connection keeps saying 0%, what is going wrong?
[01:06] <Guest85278> DasEi, I need something automatic like in Ms Windows.. it's not possible that it doesn't exist at this time (2008)

[01:07] <DasEi> DINK: right
[01:07] <steven__> How do I remove nvidia driver that I downloaded from there site. .run file
[01:07] <krlitos> at the how to says that the driver for my card is nvidia-glx-legacy how i installit
[01:08] <people> question -- I got the NVidia drivers working great from the nvidia website itself everything is smooth compiz fusion works like magic
[01:08] <people> until i reboot
[01:08] <people> then X won't start at all I have to build the nvidia driver each time i boot up
[01:08] <dr_willis> krlitos,    should be an icon at top right that runs the hardware-driver tool that should ask/download/install the proper drivers
[01:08] <DasEi> Guest85278: I never seen this for ext3, and harddrives became cheap
[01:09] <HymnToLife> people: most likely a conflict, have you properly uninstalled the version of the drivers that ship w/ Ubuntu?
[01:09] <people> no
[01:09] <dr_willis> krlitos,  or fire up the package manager and manually install 'nvidia-glx-legacy' package.. or 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy'
[01:09] <people> its from the nvidia
[01:09] <people> website
[01:09] <DasEi> Guest85278: also next to performance it always was a problem with loosing data
[01:09] <people> those drivers don't work right
[01:09] <people> it always worked before, i just had to reinstall with a new HD now it doesnt
[01:10] <krlitos> ok it says is already the newest version
[01:10] <dr_willis> krlitos,  if you just installed them in this session. You will need to reboot for them to take full effect.
[01:11] <krlitos> ok thaks ill be back
[01:11] <DasEi> DINK:what a machine is doing the testdisk job ?
[01:12] <jadams_> so I have an intel ICH10 SATA controller and I cannot install ubuntu from a sata cd rom onto my sata hard drives, it drops to busybox
[01:13] <jadams_> I've seen plenty of forum posts that suggest various things, such as break=top, modprobe piix, but I have no piix module when I try that
[01:13] <jadams_> I've set my SATA to compatibility mode, as another suggested
[01:13] <jadams_> still no dice
[01:13] <jadams_> any help?
[01:13] <dasickis> i need to install to compact flash what's the best way to do this?
[01:13] <dasickis> i have the drive in but Ubuntu can't find it
[01:14] <KMan2121> i need help setting up my wireless internet on ubuntu
[01:14] <Ademan> is it possible to mount only certain directories on a device?   for instance /dev/sda1/myhome -> /home/me      /dev/sda1/config -> /etc        and so on  (this is an example that might not make sense, but the actual application, i think, is rather nice)
[01:14] <mneptok> jadams_: in your BIOS does the SATA controller offer an IDE and RAID mode?
[01:14] <DasEi> jadams_:ibex?
[01:15] <jadams_> DasEi, when I tried that, it failed with a panic
[01:15] <KMan2121> i need help setting up my wireless internet on ubuntu
[01:15] <jadams_> mneptok, no RAID, I've got the SATA in IDE rather than AHCI mode
[01:15] <DasEi> jadams_:are u sing hardy or ibex ?
[01:15] <dr_willis> Ademan,  not that i have ever seen.. You could perhaps use  soft links , to  make one directory that you want access to - appear somewhere.
[01:16] <KMan2121> can some1 plz help me?
[01:16] <mneptok> jadams_: pu it in AHCI, please
[01:16] <mneptok> jadams_: *put
[01:16] <jadams_> DasEi, hardy, ibex fails with a panix
[01:16] <jadams_> mneptok, will try
[01:16] <Ademan> dr_willis: that's unfortunate, since a fair number of applications have the ability to deal with soft links differently
[01:17] <dr_willis> Ademan,  use hardlinks perhaps.. Ive hever had issues with software  having issues with softlinks
[01:17] <dr_willis> That was redundant of me to repeate.. :)
[01:17] <Ademan> :-p
[01:18] <Ademan> the thing about hard links is they don't work across devices, and may not work across mount points, but i'll look into it, thanks
[01:18] <eitreach> I have a related problem with what must be a sata drive. I installed Hardy onto it a few months ago, and it was trouble free, right untill today, with no updates. When trying to boot with a live-cd, I have run gparted and removed the partitions, and when I try to install, I can't write any new partitions to it.
[01:18] <dr_willis> Ademan,  i have  linked like /etc/Somthing to /mnt/extradrive/settings  befor.
[01:18] <Ademan> with hard links?
[01:18] <dr_willis> Ademan,  soft links only if across devices.. as you said.
[01:18] <KMan2121> can some1 plz help me?!
[01:18] <Ademan> ah, cool, well i may be overly paranoid about the implications of soft links then
[01:18] <dr_willis> Ademan,   had to move some things from / to some free space on my /home partition befor.
[01:19] <Ademan> !ask | KMan2121
[01:19] <dr_willis> Ademan,  I will say.. i cant rember ANY issues with using softlinks.
[01:19] <DasEi> jadams_:but hardy works ?
[01:19] <dr_willis> Ademan,  compared to say.. using shortcuts under windows.. :) ive had lots of issues with them
[01:19] <Ademan> dr_willis: :-)
[01:19] <KMan2121> i asked twice already but i'll ask again: i need help setting up my wireless internet on ubuntu
[01:19] <EvilDaemon> I have a port question. If I'm using port 6667, can any other process use it?
[01:19] <dr_willis> !wireless | KMan2121
[01:20] <Ademan> haha
[01:20] <mneptok> jadams_: any luck?
[01:20] <dr_willis> KMan2121,  explain more details to the channel.  thats a broad topic.
[01:20] <KMan2121> i'll try tht thanx
[01:20] <KMan2121> i jus don't no how
[01:20] <KMan2121> i'll try the link tho
[01:20] <mneptok> KMan2121: what kind of machine?
[01:21] <KMan2121> its custom made
[01:21] <[TiZ]> I'm currently customizing a liveCD. I've installed a bunch of packages and added a background, but now I want to copy over the panel, theme, and font settings from here into the liveCD. How would I do so?
[01:21] <DCPom> this afternoon, i had an update waiting for the firefox plugin mouse gestures redox. when i installed and relaunched the add-ons prefs said i needed to restart AGAIN to complete the installation. and this won't go away (aka it won't install) does anyone know a solution
[01:21] <Ademan> dr_willis: i had this crazy idea to keep the majority of / on a flash drive, excluding directories that might get excessively big, like maybe /opt /usr/*/games and such, and then mount /home from a traditional hard drive
[01:21] <cmdbbq> hey, anyone else her use banshee-1 ? I am trying to add the BBC to its internet radio stations, but I can't find the config folder and adding the addresses manually doesn't work
[01:21] <arrrghhh> so i have an issue with nautilus.  it randomly doesn't show files in folders!  it literally says 0 items.  i can view the same files using ls, thunar, etc...
[01:22] <DasEi> jadams_:one machine I run has the same busybox-thing with ibex, both sata, hd n cd, but hardy works well, otherwise hardy>live>updateinitramfs
[01:22] <Ademan> the idea being faster boot times... while not sacrificing storage space for user data
[01:22] <[TiZ]> arrrghhh, are they dot files?
[01:22] <bruenig> arrrghhh: don't use nautilus
[01:22] <DrX> my xwindows won't start... is there a quick fix?
[01:22] <dr_willis> Ademan, gotta watch out  for some things in /  - some of the stuff may be needed very early in the boot up, befor stuff is fully mounted.
[01:22] <arrrghhh> [TiZ], not by a longshot
[01:22] <xomp> can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer. It shows up as "psc_1310_series" in my "Default Printer" menu. My "lsusb" reports "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317" but I'm unable to print. All print jobs stay in the spool and never get printed off.
[01:22] <arrrghhh> bruenig, how do i replace nautilus with thunar?
[01:22] <bruenig> just use thunar
[01:22] <dr_willis> Ademan,  i dont worry about 2 Min boot times.. when i have 3+month Uptimes.
[01:22] <bruenig> like click on it and stuff
[01:23] <[TiZ]> Oh. That reminds me, I need to install epdfview into my livecd
[01:23] <dr_willis> Just make an icon to Thunar on the desktop. :) but thats not exactly what you asked.
[01:23] <Ademan> dr_willis: i thought /boot was all you needed to get going, from there, i mean /*/bin and /etc and /usr/share would be available to any startup programs
[01:23] <arrrghhh> bruenig, well when i go to places and open a place it defaults to nautilus, i want it to default to nautilus
[01:23] <arrrghhh> it's for my girlfriend, i want to make this as *simple* (read: break-proof) as possible.
[01:23] <Ademan> dr_willis: think is i'm thinking about a laptop that I tote around alot, looking to get a netbook and set something like what i'm describing up
[01:23] <dr_willis> Ademan,  /boot has the kernel stuff.. once the kernel is loaded.. /boot isent even needed.. gentoo dosent mount /boot by default.
[01:23] <bruenig> oh well you can't do that because gnome is as locked in and awful as osx and windows combined, but you can use it yourself
[01:24] <dr_willis> Ademan,  looking at those netbooks also. :) perhaps this Xmas i may get one.
[01:24] <legend2440> arrrghhh: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease
[01:24] <Ademan> #kde is that way...
[01:24] <[TiZ]> bruenig: if you feel that way, what are you doing in the gnome ubuntu channel? O_o
[01:24] <arrrghhh> legend2440, thanks!  that site is awesome, i've used it before for going to "pure-gnome", "pure-kde" etc.
[01:24] <jadams_> mneptok, thanks, that worked
[01:24] <jadams_> I would've mentioned sooner but I was getting the installer started
[01:25] <dr_willis> Gnome does take a 'when in doubt lock it out' mentality :)  but in some cases thats good..
[01:25] <jadams_> mneptok, awesome.  I have an intel quad core Q6600, 4GB RAM in this sucker, so I'm siked to get it running
[01:25] <[TiZ]> Anyways, how do I copy my panel, theme, and font settings into a liveCD that I'm editing. I've got a terminal open, chrooted into it.
[01:26] <xomp> can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer. It shows up as "psc_1310_series" in my "Default Printer" menu. My "lsusb" reports "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317" but I'm unable to print. All print jobs stay in the spool and never get printed off.
[01:26] <jadams_> my work computer is an AMD quad core (phenom?) and it's alright, but I've heard the intel beats its pants off and tomshardware seems to agree.
[01:26] <bruenig> [TiZ]: this is not exclusively a channel about supporting the particular gnome package in ubuntu iirc
[01:26] <DINK> DasEi: a Macbook
[01:26] <bruenig> I mean that is what it boils down to so often because we shy away from cli for some reason, but there are other questions occasionally
[01:26] <[TiZ]> Of course not, but it seems weird that an obvious kde fan would be here in the gnome ubuntu channel
[01:26] <cmdbbq> isn't there a #kubuntu?
[01:27] <bruenig> [TiZ]: I don't use kde
[01:27] <[TiZ]> Exactly. The- oh. XFCE?
[01:27] <cmdbbq> there is indeed
[01:27] <cmdbbq> ah i <3 XFCE
[01:27] <arrrghhh> there is a #kubuntu
[01:27] <arrrghhh> i use kde
[01:28] <DasEi> DINK:Hardy on mac
[01:28] <KMan2121> i'm so clueless rite now, i need step-by-step instructions on how 2 set up my internet
[01:28] <bruenig> [TiZ]: dwm
[01:28] <cmdbbq> anyhow, does anyone know where the banshee-1 package puts its config files?
[01:28] <[TiZ]> I see.
[01:28] <LjL> [TiZ], this is not the "GNOME" ubuntu channel. it's the ubuntu channel period.
[01:29] <Ademan> bruenig: really dwm? that's pretty hardcore, how do you like it?
[01:29] <cmdbbq> it didn't create a ~/.gnome2/banshee
[01:29] <[TiZ]> A little late jumping on me, there.
[01:29] <bruenig> dwm is great, no clutter, everything you need, just fluid and uninvasive
[01:29] <dr_willis> KMan2121,  first step would be getting the wirless card working properly, thats the hard part.. then you would configure networking.. I dont do wireless any more.. so cant help much more then that. Determine your exact wireless card, and its chipset, would be #1 task to do
[01:29] <Randal1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i don't understand the last step?
[01:30] <alms> i have the eeepc 1000h with win xp installed , booting up with my eeeubuntu cd -- i remember last time getting confused with the hard drive config (how do i shrink the ntfs partition to make room for ubuntu . . .). do i need to prepare for the install by pre-formatting the hard drive partitions?
[01:30] <arrrghhh> KMan2121, plug it in, it works!
[01:30] <arrrghhh> at least it always has for me haha
[01:30] <KMan2121> i can't
[01:30] <xomp> can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer. It shows up as "psc_1310_series" in my "Default Printer" menu.

[01:30] <KMan2121> its at least 50 ft away from the router... nd i don't have an ethernet cable tht long
[01:30] <cmdbbq> whoa dwm is intense
[01:30] <KMan2121> u wanna sell one 2 me???
[01:31] <arrrghhh> KMan2121, i crimp my own cable.  it'll be expensive haha
[01:31] <postersandguitar> My monitor is 1400 x 1050. I use a nvidia graphics card. X autoconfigurations detects it as 1280 x 800. Nvidia config detects as something out of my monitors range. How do I fix this, and still use nvidia-settings?
[01:31] <KMan2121> ok...
[01:31] <Ademan> bruenig: how many other tiling window managers have you tried?   I use a nvidia graphics card. X autoconfigurations detects it as 1280 x 800. Nvidia config detects as something out of my monitors range. How do I fix this, and still use nvidia-settings?
[01:32] <Randal1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i don't understand the last step? (Network managers problem part) I don't get what its doing really?
[01:32] <bruenig> Ademan: I went to dwm first, it worked great, didn't move on. Awesome and the others are bigger in size and slightly slower. Although I doubt significantly. Dwm does one thing and does it perfectly. It doesn't really branch into the areas of awesome and the others with their little widget things and such
[01:32] <alms> so i am really worried at this point i am at the 'prepare disk space component of my install -- i can do guided (resize scsI1 (0,0,0), partition #2 (sda) and use freed space <-- will this disturb my windows partition -- what if i want more space for windows??
[01:33] <[TiZ]> Back from unannounced afk. Where was I? Oh yes. I want to copy my panel, theme, and font settings from my user account to the livecd default one. I have a chrooted terminal open and ready to go. I'm using Gnome, by the way.
[01:33] <Zirk> i would do a manual resize for your partitions
[01:34] <arrrghhh> k i'm out.  thanks legend2440

[01:35] <Randal1> send me a PM and i'll see what i can do

[01:47] <jrib> aminh: (it's a bug)
[01:48] <Randal1>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) so on the final step (network manager problems) what exactly is the command line thing doing cause i can't get it too work
[01:48] <AdamMoredo> xomp: Also, turn up the debug level on the cups server configuration file (/etc/cups/cupsd.conf)
[01:48] <aminh> jrib, are u sure
[01:48] <Expl0ited> how do I stall xfce without it taking over my ubuntu install.
[01:48] <jrib> aminh: yes... come back afterwards
[01:48] <AdamMoredo> xomp: Then keep checking /var/log/cups/ for any updates
[01:48] <postersandguitar> Both nvidia-xconfig and  x autoconfigure detect my resolution wrong, nvidia-xconfig not even in the monitors range. I need to be able to use nvidia settings, but can't without nvidia-xconfig. What can I do to have it detect the right resolution, which is 1400x1050?
[01:48] <[TiZ]> Randal1, use ndisgtk.
[01:48] <jrib> Expl0ited: install xubuntu-desktop?  What do you mean by "taking over my ubuntu install"?
[01:49] <Randal1> TiZ i already have the wireless device installed i'
[01:49] <Expl0ited> jrib: I don't want it booting into it, just added as a session option
[01:49] <postersandguitar> Both nvidia-xconfig and  x autoconfigure detect my resolution wrong, nvidia-xconfig not even in the monitors range. I need to be able to use nvidia settings, but can't without nvidia-xconfig. What can I do to have it detect the right resolution, which is 1400x1050?
[01:49] <Randal1> i'm just wondering what the thing to configure it is doing
[01:49] <jrib> Expl0ited: yes, just install xubuntu-desktop.  It just adds an option to gdm
[01:49] <xomp> AdamMoredo, I have cupsd.conf up now, where do I level up the debug level?
[01:50] <jrib> postersandguitar: why can't you use nvidia-settings?
[01:50] <[TiZ]> Randal1: Install it via synaptic, apt-get, or aptitude. Whichever way you prefer. A new option will appear in your administration menu, "Windows Wireless Drivers". Go into that, and install the .inf for your driver.
[01:50] <[TiZ]> Randal1: Also, you seem to have copied the url wrong.
[01:50] <ThePandemic82> Hi.  How easy is it to connect to a wireless network using Ubuntu?
[01:50] <wartalker> who know the driver of nvidia GM 8600 GT for kernel 2.6.27?
[01:51] <postersandguitar> jrib-Get this error: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " But when run nvidia-xconfig, the resolution goes out of range.
[01:51] <[TiZ]> ThePandemic82: If your wifi card is autodetected, it's as easy as a left-click on the network icon in the system tray.
[01:51] <nodealmsft> depends
[01:51] <Reaverbot> Does anyone know how to install a integrated microphone and web-cam?
[01:51] <jrib> postersandguitar: you can't edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put something in there that works?
[01:52] <postersandguitar> jrib- that never occured to me, what should I put in?
[01:52] <ThePandemic82> ah ok cool.  I am on a wired network, but I'm going to be installing ubuntu on my dad's computer and he is on a wireless network so..thanks for the info!  He, like me, got tired of windows
[01:52] <JackOS> Wartalker: I belive so, but I havn't tested it myself
[01:52] <jrib> postersandguitar: what does it look like after nvidia-xconfig?
[01:52] <[TiZ]> ThePandemic82: Well, keep a copy of your windows wireless drivers handy. You may need to use ndisgtk to install them in ndiswrapper
[01:53] <ThePandemic82> oh ok.
[01:53] <postersandguitar> jrib: after I restar the x-server, my monitor says out of range
[01:53] <ThePandemic82> my dad's laptop is an HP dv9008nr
[01:53] <xomp> can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer. It shows up as "psc_1310_series" in my "Default Printer" menu. My "lsusb" reports "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317" but I'm unable to print. All print jobs stay in the spool and never get printed off. (x7)
[01:53] <jrib> postersandguitar: edit the file before you restart it
[01:53] <ThePandemic82> it's only about 1.5 years old
[01:53] <postersandguitar> jrib: I tried that, it has no listing for the resolution
[01:53] <[TiZ]> ThePandemic82: Mine's about that old. It uses the rtl8187 wifi chipset. Ubuntu's drivers for rtl8187 are _really_ bad.
[01:54] <ThePandemic82> Is it a good idea to always upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu once it's released?
[01:54] <ThePandemic82> hm
[01:54] <ThePandemic82> ic
[01:54] <wartalker> JackOS: what you mean
[01:54] <jrib> ThePandemic82: up to you.  If the current one is working and it's still supported, then don't unless you want to
[01:54] <postersandguitar> jrib: By the way, do you know why my update manager filled with stuff about KDE, libarts and cupsys? I don't use any of those.
[01:54] <jrib> !fixres > postersandguitar
[01:55] <jrib> postersandguitar: try setting modelines
[01:55] <postersandguitar> jrib: I tried
[01:55] <[TiZ]> ThePandemic82: If you have rtl8187 on yours, don't worry. The windows 98 drivers from realtek work _perfectly_ in ndiswrapper. Just use ndisgtk to install them.
[01:55] <dulak> ThePandemic82: I upgrade my workstation asap, but servers I leave on the LTS version
[01:55] <jrib> postersandguitar: if it's offering upgrades for packages, it's because you have them installed, probably as dependencies for some other programs
[01:55] <ThePandemic82> well I'm a pretty new user when it comes to linux.  Been using windows for about 9 years, but now I've seen the light..so to speak.
[01:55] <postersandguitar> jrib: k
[01:55] <postersandguitar> jrib: I tried whart you sent me already
[01:55] <[TiZ]> I know what you mean. I switched about four months ago.
[01:56] <jrib> postersandguitar: you set explicit modelines?
[01:56] <JackOS> I still can't belive I used anything else
[01:56] <ThePandemic82> how do i install drivers from the windows disc if im running ubuntu??? how would I go about installing wireless drivers?
[01:56] <postersandguitar> jrib: Yeah, I still got out of range. For some reason nvidia-xconfig seems to set it out of range.
[01:56] <GaMbi_DK> INFO (no need help just plain stupidity)!!! So.. as I asked about before.. how do I get ccsm cube to work? I had a lot other fun stuff working.. including two workspaces on each side of what would look like a peace of paper.. 1 hour later of intense searching on google I come up with the idea that I might need 4 workspaces for this trick to work.. DO'H!!!
[01:56] <unitedpotsmokers> hello, good evening.. the simple question : how to update wine?
[01:57] <jrib> postersandguitar: you should be editing the file AFTER running nvidia-xconfig.  nvidia-xconfig just edits /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:57] <xomp> can someone please help me with my USB printer? It's an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer. It shows up as "psc_1310_series" in my "Default Printer" menu. My "lsusb" reports "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317" but I'm unable to print. All print jobs stay in the spool and never get printed off. (x8)
[01:57] <JackOS> you need to add 2 more panels to get a cube
[01:57] <[TiZ]> Well, just copy the drivers off of the CD. Put them somewhere easy to get to, but out of your way. Before doing that, though, insert the ubuntu cd, and install ndisgtk from synaptic
[01:57] <GaMbi_DK> JackOS, really? :P yea I feel kinda stupid right now :P
[01:58] <ThePandemic82> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3253948&  <<which operating system do I select if im installing wireless drivers for ubuntu?
[01:58] <JackOS> GaMbi_DK: hey, it had me stumped for a while as well.
[01:58] <hal_v2> My external hard drive that I'm trying to backup all of my data on claims to be read only and it doesn't detect permissions. Any advice? It's an Eaglebit External hard drive
[01:58] <[TiZ]> After installing ndisgtk and copying your wifi drivers somewhere, go System -> Admin. -> Windows Wireless Drivers. Click the install button and find the .inf file for your driver
[01:58] <[TiZ]> Uh. I use the Windows 98 driver here.
[01:58] <[TiZ]> I would suspect Win98 drivers aren't available on HP's site though
[01:59] <paul_colwell_> I'm doing a GUI update of feisty right now for a friend, in preparation for upgrade to gutsy (and later hardy)  What I'd rather do is once this is finished, go home and do a cli upgrade.  What's the command?
[01:59] <paul_colwell_> go home and ssh in I mean
[01:59] <[TiZ]> So just get the 32-bit WinXP drivers
[01:59] <legend2440> xomp: did you try the newest drivers from HP?
[01:59] <jrib> !upgrade > paul_colwell_
[01:59] <GaMbi_DK> JackOS, ^^ nice to know im not the only one :)
[01:59] <ThePandemic82> ok ic
[01:59] <xomp> legend2440, not that I'm aware of.
[01:59] <ThePandemic82> cool
[01:59] <ThePandemic82> thanks for all your help dude,,i really appreciate it!
[01:59] <xomp> legend2440, is there a way to tell?
[01:59] <paul_colwell_> jrib, pauls name isn't registered on freenode; can't see the pm
[01:59] <[TiZ]> Mhm. No problem.
[01:59] <jrib> paul_colwell_: yes you can
[02:00] <legend2440> xomp: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=149981&package_id=165777&release_id=627192
[02:00] <ThePandemic82> how long have you been using linux TiZ?
[02:00] <GaMbi_DK> unitedpotsmokers, im not 100%.. im kinda a noob meself.. but i think if you run "apt-get update" ande "apt-get upgrade" you will get the newest versions.. dont kill me if im wrong
[02:00] <renegade420> How do I mount and write to a removeable disk?
[02:00] <paul_colwell_> jrib, ahh, ok.  I do.  Thanks; you just saved me a couple hours waiting.  :)
[02:00] <postersandguitar> jrib: I am
[02:00] <jrib> renegade420: what filesystem?
[02:00] <[TiZ]> About 4 months. Hold on, I gotta fire off a question of my own into the channel.
[02:00] <xomp> legend2440, I take it I should download the .tgz file there?
[02:00] <hal_v2> My external hard drive that I'm trying to backup all of my data on claims to be read only and it doesn't detect permissions. Any advice? It's an Eaglebit External hard drive
[02:00] <ThePandemic82> oh ok
[02:00] <jrib> paul_colwell_: just look for the server instructions on there
[02:00] <ThePandemic82> np
[02:00] <legend2440> xomp: no the .run file
[02:01] <renegade420> fat32
[02:01] <[TiZ]> Okay, my turn. I'm trying to customize the liveCD. I am at the step where I want to copy my panel, font, theme, and icon settings into the live CD, as default. I've got a gnome-terminal open, and it's chrooted into the live CD. So what terminal commands would I use?
[02:01] <Netham45> can I generate a public key off of a private key?
[02:01] <legend2440> xomp: these are install directions   http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html
[02:01] <xomp> legend2440, thanks, I shall take a gander :)
[02:01] <[TiZ]> ThePandemic82: It can be extremely difficult to get support here, unfortunately.
[02:02] <[TiZ]> s/"can be"/is
[02:02] <ThePandemic82> oh ic
[02:02] <ThePandemic82> well, that's alright
[02:02] <ThePandemic82> there is always the forums to use
[02:02] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks GaMbi_DK  for helping
[02:03] <unitedpotsmokers> what is a program can erase junk files in ubuntu? like windows washer?
[02:03] <ThePandemic82> Can I game on ubuntu?  Can I play source games?  Will they run good or will they run like shit?
[02:03] <paul_colwell_> jrib, ahh, ok.  I was going to say... "This is all GUI" but I see the server section now
[02:03] <iShock> !ohmy | ThePandemic82
[02:03] <Randal1> whats the difference between WEP hex key and WEP passphrase?
[02:03] <ThePandemic82> woops..
[02:03] <[TiZ]> ThePandemic82: Wine.
[02:03] <brtb> Anybody know why (Ubuntu 8.04.1 server) Apache connections would be staying open in "closing connection" or "TIME_WAIT" state for 600 seconds+?
[02:04] <[TiZ]> Install Wine; that's the best chance you've got to play Source engine games on Linux.
[02:04] <JackOS> uh oh you made the bot overlords angry
[02:04] <buzzsaw> about how large of a hard drive do i need for an ubuntu install?
[02:04] <ThePandemic82> well, will the games run good?  Or will i get terrible FPS?  Mind you, I have a 9800GTX+
[02:04] <buzzsaw> not alot of apps on it
[02:04] <JackOS> ThePandemic: I belive you can play some source games on it, but I don't think that the installer works yet
[02:04] <[TiZ]> Depends on the drivers you install. With good drivers, it could possibly be faster than Windows.
[02:04] <[TiZ]> I hear Steam has a platinum rating on Wine.
[02:04] <renegade420> jrib, fat 32\
[02:05] <ThePandemic82> well i used envy to install the nvidia display driver
[02:05] <[TiZ]> So if you can install it through steam, you should- ACK!
[02:05] <jrib> renegade420: just plug it in
[02:05] <JackOS> Tiz: oh, really now, time to test out this new graphics card
[02:05] <dudemax> aye
[02:05] <ChunkStyle> yo
[02:05] <dudemax> heh
[02:05] <dudemax> ok wait
[02:05] <[TiZ]> I hear bad things about envy.
[02:05] <ThePandemic82> hm
[02:05] <braeker> can i join to this rum?
[02:05] <[TiZ]> If you have problems with your gfx, it's envy's fault. Promise.
[02:05] <Ttech> Anyone have good docs on how to configure a mail server on Ubuntu?
[02:06] <ThePandemic82> well how do i install the display driver through the nvidia website?
[02:06] <[TiZ]> Um, I'll google it for you.
[02:06] <dudemax> RUN DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 10
[02:06] <renegade420> jrib, I can manually mount it... it''s not being auto detected.  I unable to write to the removable disk
[02:06] <braeker> wow this room is great.....
[02:06] <ThePandemic82> the driver im using is 173.14.12
[02:06] <[TiZ]> ThePandemic82: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:06] <braeker> i knew to ubuntu im studying it now....
[02:07] <xomp> Nooooooo! he has quit IRC!
[02:07] <jrib> renegade420: erm, I plug in vfat devices and they just mount by themselves.  How are you mounting it?  (I may lose you, I'm upgrading this machine and a bunch of errors are popping up :))
[02:07] <ThePandemic82> cool thanks TiZ
[02:07] <n8tuser> braeker may i suggest you pick up a good book on ubuntu also to get you more familiarized?
[02:07] <[TiZ]> No problem.
[02:07] <braeker> n8tuser tnx for tips. i appreciate it
[02:07] <greedyb> Is it okay to get the new flash yet?
[02:07] <KINGTEKRIN> I need help sort of
[02:07] <[TiZ]> Now, for the UMPTEENTH TIME...! I want to copy my panel, font, theme, and icon settings into the live CD I'm customizing. chrooted gnome-terminal, all set to go. What terminal commands should I use?
[02:08] <braeker> wow this room is great full of information
[02:09] <Grey_Loki> !patience | braeker
[02:09] <AdamMoredo> [TiZ]: Check out sabayon. I did something similar a few years ago.
[02:09] <jrib> :/
[02:09] <memeemeee> I'm having problems upgrading ram
[02:09] <AdamMoredo> [TiZ]: I think it makes a directory called /etc/desktop/profiles or /etc/profiles/desktop or something similar.
[02:09] <renegade420> jrib, I found out what the disk was called and mount it
[02:09] <ThePandemic82> well i gotta get going...thanks again tiz! later
[02:10] <KINGTEKRIN> I would like to install Ubuntu Ultimate, but when I installed it on windows, it showed up as ubuntu intrepid, which is understandable, but when i boot up because i have to keep the cd in, its a fresh install of ultimate. I am using ultimate live right now. My question is, how do I install ubuntu from here, live, using the partition that windows is on? I'd basically like to steal some gigbs from that partition i guess
[02:10] <[TiZ]> AdamMoredo: Another distro entirely? Well, thanks for responding, at least.
[02:10] <renegade420> jrib, I found out what the disk was called and mount it
[02:10] <jrib> renegade420: you need to pass a proper umask in the mount options
[02:10] <AdamMoredo> [TiZ]: No. Sabayon is a utility that creates images of desktop profiles.
[02:10] <jrib> !vfat > renegade420
[02:10] <renegade420> to like a file on the home
[02:10] <[TiZ]> Really?
[02:10] <[TiZ]> Hmm
[02:10] <AdamMoredo> [TiZ]: Also, with that attitude, you can go figure it out yourself.
[02:11] <[TiZ]> AdamMoredo: No, that's not what I mean. I am sincerely thanking you for responding.
[02:11] <braeker> tnx  for the advice..... sorry im new to this OS , just want to learn it.....
[02:11] <[TiZ]> Every time I come here, I get the cold shoulder.  Can someone point me to a tutorial that will walk me through all the steps that will show me howto map a network drive on my ubuntu box from a win xp machine?
[02:11] <JackOS> King: try virtualizing it using VirtualBox.  Your hardrive will thank you for not choping it up
[02:11] <theflamingpi__> AdamMoredo: Isn't Sabayon a GNU/Linux distro?
[02:12] <Ttech> does anyone know how to setup mail server on a Ubuntu Server ( good docs)/
[02:12] <theflamingpi__> AdamMoredo: So far as I know, it's based on Gentoo.
[02:12] <AdamMoredo> theflamingpi__: Yes, but Sabayon is _also_ a desktop image generation program.
[02:12] <theflamingpi__> AdamMoredo: Thanks.
[02:12] <citizen42alpha> Ttech: check howtoforge, they have brilliant server articles.
[02:12] <Ttech> citizen42alpha, thanks.
[02:12] <greedyb> Anyone using the new Flash10?
[02:13] <AdamMoredo> I remember strongly disliking GNOME a few years ago, and sabayon made my job so much easier, that I began to like GNOME a lot more just for that.
[02:13] <AdamMoredo> The equivalent process for KDE (at least KDE 3) was monstrous.
[02:13] <[TiZ]> Yeah, this website is definitely showing a full-blown distro. Hmm. Maybe I'm looking on the wrong place.
[02:13] <[TiZ]> I tried KDE once. I didn't like it.
[02:13] <AdamMoredo> [TiZ]: aptitude search sabayon
[02:13] <AdamMoredo> system administration tool to manage GNOME desktop settings
[02:14] <[TiZ]> Oh! Okay!
[02:14] <KINGTEKRIN> look...i just want to know how to take a chunk out of the vista partition. it has 140gb, it only needs 50. lol... I want linux the rest, but i DO NOT want to virtualize it
[02:14] <bungieQord> How do I display the table of contents of a .tar file through terminal?
[02:14] <zutme> i just installed from the livecd for 8.10 and when it rebooted I had a black screen which read GRUB in the top left with a blinking cursor next to it. I rebooted the livecd and I'm wondering how to avoid it this time
[02:14] <AdamMoredo> bungieQord: tar -tf <yourtarfile>. Also, read the man pages.
[02:14] <[TiZ]> Y
[02:14] <jrib> [TiZ]: admin guide at library.gnome.org has some documentation on sabayon as well
[02:14] <[TiZ]> Oops. That was supposed to go in tilda. Sorry. :P
[02:15] <[TiZ]> I'll check this sabayon tool out. :D
[02:15] <[TiZ]> Thank you, Adam.
[02:15] <AdamMoredo> No problem.
[02:15] <JackOS> I'm trying to virtualize a thin client system before I put it into practice at work.  Does anyone know where good documentation can be found on setting it up in VirtualBox?
[02:15] <AdamMoredo> I don't even remember why I'm in here.
[02:15] <[TiZ]> I'll make sure to aptitude install it in my live CD too if I like it. :)
[02:16] <uman>  Hello everyone. I have a really really big problem. I have windows xp installed under vmware workstation and I accidentally reverted back to an old snapshot and lost all my files and everything. I want to know if there is a way to undo the snapshot revert. If not, do you guys know what exactly happens when you go back to a snapshot? I mean, does the old .vmx (or entire virtual hdd partition) simply get erased and replaced by a new one? If so , I could simply
[02:16] <uman> [20:11] <uman> use recovery software to recover it right? Thanks. Which software do you recommend.
[02:16] <kitche> JackOS: well if virtualbox can do pxe booting it's pretty much the same as a real terminal
[02:17] <greedyb> Anyone using the new Flash10 ???
[02:17] <jrib> uman: try #vmware
[02:17] <AdamMoredo> nalioth: wtf are you doing?
[02:18] <theflamingpi__> greedyb: I'm installing it right now.
[02:18] <zutme> Does anyone know of a way in the livecd installer to make sure it sets up grub to boot because I ran it once and when i rebooted all I saw was a black screen with GRUB in the upper left corner and a blinking cursor
[02:18] <greedyb> theflamingpi__: you following any specific directions?
[02:18] <[TiZ]> I'm gonna take a break from my livecd (probably going to end up being a dvd) for now. See you later, guys.
[02:18] <theflamingpi__> greedyb: Yeah.  I went to the website, downloaded the deb, and installed it.
[02:19] <greedyb> theflamingpi__: ahh I heard some issues using the deb thats all.. I'll give it a try
[02:19] <uman> jrib Thanks, I did, but it seems I am the only active user in the vmware channel..
[02:19] <Randal1> I need help configuring my wireless internet can someone send me a PM?
[02:19] <jrib> uman: be patient, try their mailing list/forums too
[02:19] <theflamingpi__> greedyb: I'm currently attempting to connect with youtube.
[02:19] <jrib> !wifi > Randal1
[02:19] <theflamingpi__> greedyb: Hopefully it won't crash or anything.
[02:21] <Samekh> eww, ubuntu :p
[02:21] <Randal1> i have already made the wireless driver work but i was wondering how to configure it since my wireless has a WEP Key on it and the wifi doc told me to use some commands that i'm not sure of what they do
[02:22] <Randal1> sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <AP NAME> ap <AP MAC ADDRESS> key <KEY IN HEX> sudo dhclient wlan0 so what does this mean?
[02:22] <JackOS> you should be able to do it via GUI
[02:22] <lucax> Randal1, try nm-applet... its much easier
[02:23] <Randal1> how do i get that?
[02:23] <theflamingpi__> greedyb: It worked fine, but i had to remove flashplugin-alternative.so from /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
[02:23] <greedyb> theflamingpi__: thanks for the update I'll give it a shot and thanks for the tip
[02:24] <tidrion> is this an okay place to ask questions about 8.10

[02:26] <mib_no6v7jdc> on boot
[02:26] <mib_no6v7jdc> from grub after ubuntu updates
[02:27] <dr_willis> postersandguitar,  clarify to the channel what you mean by 'jumping around'
[02:27] <mib_no6v7jdc> this is why I hate ubuntu, everytime I try to use it ..an update breaks it
[02:27] <postersandguitar> By jumping around I mean moving to random parts of the window. It appears to be because the screen is too small for the window because the resolution is too low.
[02:27] <nick327> question: how can i use the command line to assign myself an ip using dhcp?
[02:27] <tj__> is there any way i could recover some files just deleted
[02:28] <nick327> i used iwconfg to configure my card, i just need to get an ip
[02:28] <nick327> im used to using dhcpcd
[02:28] <KINGTEKRIN> does anyone know how i can take some of the 140gb vista partition and free it up for a linux install?
[02:28] <dr_willis> postersandguitar,  theres the nvidia-xconfig tool that can configure things from the cli also.
[02:28] <postersandguitar> Nvidia xconfig doesn't detect  it right.
[02:28] <nick327> KINGTEKRIN: the ubuntu live cd should be able to resize your vista install
[02:29] <KINGTEKRIN> well, but i dont know how...lol...
[02:29] <niskel> I am having trouble with iwlwifi-5300. I am getting a kernel oops every time I try to bring the interface up.
[02:29] <dr_willis> KINGTEKRIN,  vista has its own partition resizer feature yoyu should use - it will be much faster then the ubuntu resizer feature
[02:29] <mib_no6v7jdc> heh
[02:29] <nick327> boot up the cd
[02:29] <nick327> use the installer on the desktop
[02:29] <wartalker> does anyone know nvidia GM8600 GT driver for the latest kernel 2.26.27
[02:29] <KINGTEKRIN>  right
[02:29] <nick327> there is a page for partitioning, the first option shown is to resize a partition
[02:29] <nick327> you can use a simple slider to change the sizes
[02:30] <dr_willis> KINGTEKRIN,  vista will resize the partition in a few min.. ubuntu may take an hr+  :) so guess wht i use more
[02:30] <KINGTEKRIN> it gives me two options
[02:30] <KINGTEKRIN> guided or manual
[02:30] <postersandguitar> I tried nvidia-xconfig. It didn't change it.
[02:30] <KINGTEKRIN> but on guided it says use whole disk
[02:31] <postersandguitar> Is there a way to get it to stay in place?
[02:31] <nick327> there should be an option above that
[02:31] <KINGTEKRIN> only the guided, which if you choose uses whole 140gb;s
[02:31] <KINGTEKRIN> and below that is manual
[02:31] <dr_willis> postersandguitar,  ive never seen windows randomly jump around.. so im not sure what is going on.   You can use the alt-mouse to move windows around if parts of them are off screen
[02:31] <sunapi386> does anyone know a tool to test read/write speed ?
[02:31] <nick327> hmm, a slider showed up for my xp partition
[02:31] <oliver__> hi
[02:32] <KDE4000> sunapi386: hdparm
[02:32] <nick327> try using gparted, its a partitioning utility that allows you to resize partitions
[02:32] <oliver__> um... im having some trouble with my ubuntu
[02:32] <sunapi386> KDE4000; thx
[02:32] <nick327> it is on the live cd, use google to get some background
[02:32] <KDE4000> oliver__: go ahead and state your question, and someone can answer it
[02:32] <oliver__> im having problens with my ubuntu my resolution wont go above 800
[02:33] <KDE4000> oliver__: have you installed any drivers with the restricted driver manager?
[02:33] <postersandguitar> my nvidia-settings window keeps focusing on a different part of the window when I click because the screen is at a low resolution becuase it's being detected wrong.
[02:33] <oliver__> there are no drivers in the list
[02:33] <lliw00> how to i get my fingerprint reader to work on hardy?
[02:33] <KDE4000> oliver__: what graphics card do you have?
[02:33] <mib_no6v7jdc> Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds max supported by BIOS
[02:33] <mib_no6v7jdc> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml#doc_chap6
[02:33] <oliver__> an old one, 3dfx voodoo3
[02:33] <KDE4000> o_O
[02:33] <oliver__> lol
[02:33] <mib_no6v7jdc> this is what I'm getting after a kernel update
[02:34] <KDE4000> better ask someone else here, i dont know of that graphics card =[
[02:34] <dr_willis> postersandguitar,  try the tab key to move around the window I guess.    Normally i manually install the nvidia-glx-XXX drivers and the res corrects itself.
[02:34] <mib_no6v7jdc> already tried updating bios, no go
[02:34] <oliver__> can we talk in private?
[02:34] <KINGTEKRIN> it says since gparted is a weapon of mass destruction, you need root priv;s
[02:34] <mib_no6v7jdc> wtf is going on
[02:34] <oliver__> all these convos do my head in at 2:34 am
[02:34] <tj__>  does anyone know a way i could recover some files just deleted
[02:34] <dr_willis> KINGTEKRIN,  Yep it does.. as i said earlyer.. if you want to resize a vista partition. its proberly best to boot to vista amd use vistas resizeing features to resize the vista partition.
[02:35] <mongolai_> This might be a little complex -- My default ubuntu install is golden, however, GDM screen resolution is wrong. I'm currently on a remote X Session (configured by GDM?) and would like to reset the resolution for the session
[02:35] <gsevil> I set DNS in /etc/resolv.conf, but every time restart, It lost, how can I save it?
[02:35] <theflamingpi_> greedyb: I just rebooted and for some reason it's using flash 9 again.
[02:35] <Ron_Paul_> Anyone use Zimbra here?
[02:35] <Swian> I do
[02:35] <greedyb> theflamingpi_: I'm scared to reboot.. last time I did that some initramfs prompt came up and I could never get my ubuntu back
[02:36] <KINGTEKRIN> this says my minimum is 152625 and the max is 152626
[02:36] <NickPresta> Ron_Paul_, my school uses it and I'm using it right now :)
[02:37] <mikem> hi, wondering why synaptic on my machine shows Firefox 3.0.1 as the latest available, while http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/firefox shows 3.0.3 as available. how can I get the latest version installed?
[02:37] <theflamingpi_> greedyb: Did you modify the kernel at all?
[02:37] <Ron_Paul_> I need someone who know how to configure outbound SMTP authentication.
[02:37] <greedyb> theflamingpi_: nope
[02:38] <mongolai_> nevermind -- I got it ( I thik)
[02:38] <tj__> i just deleted a folder of some pictures and I really need to know if there is anyway of saving them
[02:38] <kitche> mikem: did you update?
[02:39] <craigbass1976> jrib, hey, this is Craig, formally know as paul_colwell
[02:39] <postersandguitar> Where would I go in nvidia-settings to manually set a new resolution?
[02:39] <jrib> tj__: did you right click -> move to trash  or do something else?
[02:39] <kitche> mikem: sudo apt-get update will update the package cache
[02:39] <jrib> craigbass1976: hi
[02:39] <mikem> kitche: i pressed the "Reload" button in Synaptic, also I ran `sudo apt-get update`
[02:39] <tj__> yeah i put it in trash and emtied :(
[02:39] <craigbass1976> jrib, when I run the do-upgrade I get a message about ssh switching ports.  At that point, my connection borks
[02:39] <jrib> !recover | tj__
[02:40] <jrib> craigbass1976: hrmm, yeah, didn't realize that
[02:40] <postersandguitar> Where would I go to type in my screens resolution when I have nvidia settings?
[02:40] <craigbass1976> jrib, and it actually killed my connection entirely; I totally got booted off my lan too
[02:40] <Craighhney> can anyone tell me how to open a .bundle file?
[02:40] <lliw00> does anyone know how to get my fingerprint reader working on my asus m50?
[02:40] <jrib> craigbass1976: you could have run it in screen and then reconnected to it.  It affected your local connection?  that's weird
[02:41] <craigbass1976> what if I sshed in and got an x session and did the gui anyway
[02:41] <postersandguitar> Can someone answer my question?
[02:41] <jrib> craigbass1976: I guess that works, but won't you get booted if ssh restarts again?  Could you still reconnect to the running upgrade?
[02:42] <dr_willis> postersandguitar,   you couldjust manually edit  your xorg.conf also.   I  doubt if anyoneknows your problem exact enough to answer you
[02:42] <mikem> kitche: hm, looks like my local mirror is way out of date. I told Synaptic to use "Main Servers" instead, and now there's tons of updates avaialble, including firefox.
[02:42] <Randal1> I have a trendnet USB wireless device and i was wondering if someone could help me configure it using terminal. the wiki said that the person had problems doing it through nm-applet i've spent a couple of hours and ran what it said but it didn't connect wirelessly?
[02:42] <lliw00> anyone know why ubuntu wont play dvds?
[02:43] <jrib> !dvd | lliw00
[02:43] <craigbass1976> jrib, oh yeah...  Can I run an at job that does the upgrade?
[02:43] <craigbass1976> jrib,  is there a way to pass option into thr do-upgrade command?
[02:43] <jrib> craigbass1976: the upgrade may ask questions
[02:43] <postersandguitar> HELLO! I NEED AN ANSWER! SORRY TO USE CAPS BUT I WAS IGNORED
[02:44] <jrib> !patience | postersandguitar
[02:44] <dr_willis> postersandguitar,  i did answer.. and  yelling tends to get you really ignored.
[02:44] <craigbass1976> postersandguitar, You get an answer when someone comes along that knows it.
[02:44] <marthy_MBP> omg its getting loud in here
[02:44] <postersandguitar> It would be nice if someone at least said that.
[02:45] <kitche> postersandguitar: what that someone anwsered you and you fully ignored them?
[02:45] <postersandguitar> kitche: No one answered me, at least not this time.
[02:45] <craigbass1976> postersandguitar, and you're lucky this is ubuntu room; in fedora, centos, and some of the other rooms, you'd have been ignored after the post BEFORE you used caps
[02:47] <jrib> craigbass1976: I think your only option if you really want to do this is to use screen and the server upgrade method. There's less that can go wrong that way.  I don't know of ways to pass options to do-upgrade.  What were you looking for exactly?
[02:47] <postersandguitar> Does anyone here know what to do if my computer with nvidia-settins and nvidia drivers is convinced my screen is 640x480?
[02:47] <lliw00> jrib i have tried that already and it didnt work
[02:47] <jrib> lliw00: pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy libdvdcss2'
[02:47] <Randal1> I have a trendnet USB wireless device and i was wondering if someone could help me configure it using terminal. the wiki said that the person had problems doing it through nm-applet i've spent a couple of hours and ran what it said but it didn't connect wirelessly?
[02:48] <craigbass1976> jrib, I don't understand run it in screen
[02:48] <wartalker> postersandguitar: edit /etc/X11/xorg.cong
[02:48] <lliw00> jrib http://pastebin.com/m177f55a5
[02:48] <craigbass1976> Randal1, does the device work in windows?
[02:48] <Randal1> yes
[02:48] <jrib> craigbass1976: screen just lets you run a command, log out of ssh, then come back, reattach screen, and still have the command active
[02:49] <perillux> can someone tell me if I need to have windows installed, or a windows CD to run VirtualBox?
[02:49] <jrib> !screen | craigbass1976
[02:49] <jrib> perillux: no, you don't need windows to run virtualbox in ubuntu
[02:49] <Randal1> craigbass1976 it already shows up in my nm-applet just not sure on how to configure it
[02:49] <jrib> perillux: however, if you want to run windows /inside/ virtualbox on ubuntu, you'll need a windows disk to install it of course
[02:50] <perillux> jrib: i never got a windows CD when I bought my laptop
[02:50] <perillux> jrib: it was already installed
[02:50] <Randal1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i've been using this as a guide and i just don'
[02:50] <ultraren> i have a question about chown
[02:50] <perillux> jrib: but I overwrote it all with Ubuntu
[02:50] <bzaks> I have 2 different networks: eth0, and wlan0, they both point to different networks, and the nameservers keep over writing the resolv.conf, is there a way I can get ubuntu to handle both?
[02:50] <Randal1> i just don't understand the bottom (network managers problems)
[02:51] <postersandguitar> The instructions to fix resolution say to go to video configuration in nvidia-settings, but there is no such heading.
[02:51] <jeeves_Moss> what causes a fresh install to hang @ dst_get_mac?  I can't for the life of me get this server to boot
[02:51] <jrib> perillux: contact your manufacturer or borrow a cd from someone and use your license key (there should be a sticker on your laptop with it)
[02:51] <yoyoned> !ask|ultaren
[02:51] <SirGlacious1> perillux:  thank microsoft or your manufacturer :)
[02:51] <usser> bzaks, what do you want exactly?
[02:51] <perillux> jrib: is there anything similar to virtualBox that would allow me to run a small windows desktop because I just want it so I can play an old game
[02:51] <usser> bzaks, to have a static nameserver?
[02:52] <ultraren> sudo chown -hR laserwolf /media/noise returns "operation not permited" why?
[02:52] <yoyoned> perillux: wine
[02:52] <usser> perillux, is it a dos game?
[02:52] <marcustomized> perillux, wine
[02:52] <postersandguitar> I can't find video configuration in nvidia settings
[02:52] <perillux> yoyoned: usser: marcustomized: it's not working in wine.  It does work but it locks up when it plays quicktime videos
[02:52] <jrib> perillux: you're not going to install windows on anything without a windows disk.  You could try wine to run some windows programs as others are suggesting.  wine is not windows though
[02:53] <perillux> yoyoned: usser: marcustomized: it's ok though, it's no big deal.  just an old game
[02:53] <jrib> perillux: X Server Display Configuration
[02:53] <usser> perillux, then you're out of luck, check appdb.winehq.com to see if ppl managed to run that game somehow
[02:53] <perillux> jrib: thanks for all your help
[02:53] <jeeves_Moss> anyone on this dst_get_mac issue?
[02:53] <bzaks> usser: I would like one computer to be able to handle being on two networks at the same time. (one without internet, the other with internet. The one with out internet is a private internal network, the one with internet is my ISP (naturally). The dhcp and dns from the private network keep overwriting my resolv.conf and I'm unable to access the internet and the other network at the same time
[02:53] <postersandguitar> Hmm
[02:53] <postersandguitar> Hey, did people ignore me?
[02:53] <yoyoned> ultraren: try using sudo
[02:54] <jrib> postersandguitar: X Server Display Configuration
[02:54] <postersandguitar> jrib: thanks
[02:54] <usser> bzaks, just add appropriate prepend lines to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[02:54] <ultraren> yoyoned, i did
[02:54] <postersandguitar> jrib:  there's no where to manually set the display and refresh rate?
[02:54] <yoyoned> bzaks: do you have to  use dhcp internally
[02:54] <jrib> postersandguitar: editing your xorg.conf
[02:54] <csilk> when the hell is gimp gonna stop sucking?
[02:54] <bzaks> I'll look into it usser, thank you.
[02:55] <postersandguitar> jrib: What part of it specifically?
[02:55] <bzaks> yoyoned: yeah, I'm doing netboot work on the private network
[02:55] <usser> bzaks, there are examples in that file already just adjust them to your needs
[02:55] <nick327> question: how do i use dhcp to update my ip?
[02:55] <bzaks> thank you usser!
[02:55] <usser> bzaks, np
[02:55] <nick327> ive set up everything in network manager, and everything is set but an ip
[02:55] <jrib> postersandguitar: the "undetected monitor settings" section of the wiki has the details
[02:55] <nick327> is there a command, such as dhcpcd?
[02:55] <postersandguitar> jrib: link?
[02:55] <jrib> !fixres > postersandguitar
[02:56] <jrib> nick327: dhclient maybe?
[02:56] <bzaks> usser: what if dhclient.conf doesn't exist?
[02:56] <yoyoned> nick327: sudo dhclient eth0
[02:56] <nick327> ok
[02:56] <csilk> anyone know how to select text in gimp, text that you created with the text tool
[02:56] <csilk> i can only select the 2nd one i created not the first
[02:56] <paulo> hola.
[02:56] <bzaks> nevermind usser, I didn't put vi in my command, and bash was trying to be smart
[02:56] <postersandguitar> jrib: I already looked there. That is what got me confused and coming here because  that page tells me to look in a part of nvidia settings that doesn't exist.
[02:56] <nick327> it workedj
[02:57] <nick327> thankd
[02:57] <jrib> postersandguitar: 1) I gave you what the section is called here when I open nvidia-settings   2) the section that I referred to explains how to edit xorg.conf without using nvidia-settings
[02:57] <yoyoned> csilk: use the layers dialog to select the layer that has the text you want to edit
[02:57] <postersandguitar> jrib: k
[02:58] <postersandguitar> jrib: thanks
[02:58] <Randal1>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i've been using this as a guide and i just don't understand the bottom part on configuring it? (network manager problems)
[02:58] <zachary> hello
[02:58] <jrib> postersandguitar: in (1) I mean section of the nvidia-settings program.  in (2) I mean section of the wiki

[02:59] <oriez> does proxy (like Tor) will prevent u from packet sniffing?
[02:59] <dr_willis> postersandguitar,  heres my example xorg.conf  file - try it and see if it works for you

[03:00] <julioso> hey folks, I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed on my system, and I need to install Windows XP as well to run some engineering software. I have 6 hard drives, so I may as well use one of them for Windows. I know that if I install Windows with all the drives hooked up, it'll overwrite the GRUB boot loader on my system drive; if I disconnect all the drives but the Windows drive, however, it'll have to...
[03:00] <julioso> ...install the windows boot loader to the Windows drive. Anyone know if that'll work (i.e. will I still be able to boot into Windows after re-connecting my Ubuntu drive?)
[03:00] <jrib> bouma: or just use nautilus
[03:00] <julioso> and sorry for the long message, haha
[03:01] <Av1> hey

[03:01] <jrib> julioso: meh, just install windows and then reinstall grub if something goes wrong
[03:01] <Av1> I need to uninstall and then reinstall my graphics driver how do i do it
[03:01] <jrib> !grub > julioso
[03:01] <yoyoned> csilk: what version of gimp

[03:02] <bonhoffer> anyone know how i get a terminal prompt in eeeubuntu

[03:03] <Av1> Please help
[03:03] <Av1> I updated Ubuntu and my grahpics card stopped working
[03:03] <errpast> what's best way for newbie to burn cd on Ubuntu?  Gnome Baker seems buggy
[03:03] <errpast> Nothing fancy. I just want to save data.
[03:03] <Mari> Can somebody please PM me I will be really quick with my questions?
[03:04] <marcustomized> errpast, Brasero
[03:04] <csilk> yoyoned, no that doesnt exist, thanks for the help anyway, i'll struggle with this
[03:04] <errpast> marcustomized, thx - I'll try it
[03:04] <yoyoned> ultraren: what about the file are you trying to change
[03:04] <Av1> I updated Ubuntu and my grahpics card stopped working
[03:04] <julioso> I can do that, thanks jrib
[03:04] <Pulpie> hey all
[03:04] <Randal1> errpast doesn't ubuntu come with cd/dvd creater and just burn it that way?
[03:04] <EatShrooms> Hey I need some help, Does anybody use Korganizer? Why is it when I dismiss a task it stays in the same day no matter what?
[03:04] <ultraren> i want to change the owner from root to me
[03:04] <Pulpie> how are you all doing today?
[03:04] <Pulpie> ultraren: man chown
[03:04] <Av1> I updated Ubuntu and my grahpics card stopped working
[03:04] <errpast> Randal1, I haven't had luck with that.
[03:05] <lucax> ultraren, right click on folder properties and there ull find a tab to do so
[03:05] <Pulpie> Av1: happened to me too, ati card?
[03:05] <errpast> Randal1, Gnome Baker seems clunky. It works, but clunky.
[03:05] <Randal1> oh
[03:05] <woaidoudoucindy> hello
[03:05] <Av1> Pulpie: yeah
[03:05] <Av1> Pulpie:  how do you correct it
[03:05] <Pulpie> Av1: black screen and nothing else?
[03:05] <errpast> For example, you can drag and drop files to burn, but can't "undrag" them if you've dragged too many. No big deal. But annoying.
[03:05] <ultraren> Pulpie, i followed chown, i got an error
[03:05] <bonhoffer> so i just want a terminal prompt
[03:05] <Nixdorf> anyone how to compile xen 3.3.0 in kernel 2.6.24 ?
[03:05] <Pulpie> Av1: or do you get a console?

[03:06] <postersandguitar> I can't find the horizsync or vertrefresh for my monitor. Is there a simple way to tell the computer the native resolution?
[03:06] <marcustomized> julioso, you'll probably need to manually edit the kernel line
[03:06] <Craighhney> can anyone tell me how to open a .bundle file?

[03:07] <Av1> Pulpie: it says you do not full fill system  requirements where as it was working beofr update
[03:07] <marcustomized> ultaren, use 'chown' and do it recursively
[03:07] <yoyoned> ultraren: use chown
[03:07] <csilk> yoyoned,  online gimp resources are pretty fail, I honestly don't have the motivation to figure out how gimp does things when I rarely do grfx based work, i'll just use photoshop for this small job

[03:08] <Av1> Pulpie:  Second life
[03:08] <Pulpie> ultraren: define music partition, is this a partioned mp3 player or just a pary of the hard drive
[03:08] <Pulpie> Av1: heard you the first time.
[03:09] <yoyoned> ultraren: why doesn't chown work
[03:09] <lucax> Pulpie, with nautilus u can do it right clicking and in preferences u can set that as u want instead of breaking your head on terminal with long commands
[03:09] <postersandguitar> I can't get to my native resolution or find horizinsync and vertrefresh for my monitor. What do I do?
[03:09] <julioso> probably, cheers marcustomized

[03:10] <bonhoffer> ctl+alt+del option
[03:10] <Pulpie> lucax: meh I perfer the classic way still.
[03:10] <Pulpie> yoyoned: add sudo infront of that
[03:10] <dasickis> how do i get ubuntu to recognize flash cards?
[03:10] <lucax> ultraren, gksudo nautilus /media select folder and change it from nautilus dont break your head
[03:10] <twoadmin>  i m a new club ubuntu
[03:10] <Pulpie> dasickis: should be able to by default
[03:10] <bonhoffer> do i really have to turn/off hard power kill

[03:10] <Pulpie> twoadmin: your a new what?
[03:11] <lucax> i love to be practical...
[03:11] <bonhoffer> new computer, first ubuntu install and it crashes in five minutes?
[03:11] <ultraren> chown: changing ownership of `/media/noise/noise': Operation not permitted
[03:11] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: what are you talking about?
[03:11] <twoadmin> yes
[03:11] <Pulpie> twoadmin: it was not a yes or no question
[03:11] <marcustomized> ultraren, use sudo
[03:11] <bonhoffer> Pulpie, sorry, i just loaded ubuntu -- all excited and it is frozen
[03:11] <postersandguitar> Is there a way to manually tell ubuntu the refresh rate and native resolution of the monitor? I"m using a nvidia graphics and have the drivers and nvidia settings installed. I cannot find the horizsync or vertrefresh of my monitor, which is a westinghouse l2046nv.
[03:11] <yoyoned> ultraren: did you use sudo
[03:11] <Randal1>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i've been using this as a guide and i just don't understand the bottom part on configuring it? (network manager problems)
[03:11] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: froze how
[03:11] <ultraren> yoyoned, marcustomized i did use sudo
[03:12] <bonhoffer> want to know two things (1) what are my options (something like ctl+alt+del) and (2) how often does this happen
[03:12] <bonhoffer> frozen from poking at the menus trying to find an xterm
[03:12] <yoyoned> ultraren: is the partition mounted read/write
[03:12] <bonhoffer> nothing big here
[03:12] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: usually never and ctrl+alt+backspace will reset the X11 server
[03:12] <twoadmin> ubuntu is very good
[03:12] <Pulpie> twoadmin: we know
[03:12] <tianshen> ubuntu is very good
[03:12] <bonhoffer> ctl+alt+backspace does nothing
[03:12] <lucax> ultraren, sudo -i then type the command u want
[03:12] <ultraren> yoyoned, fstab sez "/dev/sdb6	/media/noise	vfat	rw,user,auto,exec,sync	0	0"
[03:12] <Pulpie> tianshen: this has been said
[03:12] <bonhoffer> mouse will not move
[03:13] <bonhoffer> not even a blue screen :)
[03:13] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: then you will have to hard reset it
[03:13] <ultraren> lucax, what is -i ?
[03:13] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: what are the specs of the machine
[03:13] <reya276> is there a channel to chat about Ubuntu new features and ask questions about it?
[03:13] <Pulpie> ultraren: man sudo
[03:13] <yoyoned> ultraren: vfat doesn't support unix style users
[03:13] <bonhoffer> Pulpie, 1.6 ghz atom processor, 2 gb ram 80 gb hard drive (1 gb swap 12 gb for ubuntu)
[03:13] <lucax> ultraren, that way ull get into root account
[03:13] <bonhoffer> no apps installed yet
[03:13] <bonhoffer> os is untouched
[03:13] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: hmm and it just freezes?
[03:14] <bonhoffer> only froze onece
[03:14] <bonhoffer> only used for five minutes
[03:14] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: what did you try to do on it?
[03:14] <jtisme> lucax, sudo before commands
[03:15] <bonhoffer> just trying to find an xterm
[03:15] <bonhoffer> used the touchpad
[03:15] <bonhoffer> hadn't started an app yet
[03:15] <kaneda^> hey, so my mouse is back at it again
[03:15] <kaneda^> or rather, trackpad
[03:15] <yoyoned> ultraren: you can'tdo it, because fat filesystems don't have users
[03:15] <bonhoffer> boots up fast (at least :<
[03:15] <lucax> jtisme, sudo -i and then u dont have to type sudo for all commands u want to type... if u are gonna use a lot of sudo commands
[03:15] <Randal1> can someone PM me and help me?
[03:15] <kaneda^> i'm not sure what triggers it, but sometimes it completely changes my preferences
[03:15] <Pulpie> bonhoffer: very odd... and it you just got this laptop?
[03:15] <kaneda^> and i have to restart x to get it to reload the mouse
[03:15] <Pulpie> Randal1: no ask here.

[03:16] <adrian> pulpie, i've tryed, but I don't now how to detect and install drivers for the tuner
[03:16] <kaneda^> would anyone happen to have ideas on why my trackpad suddenly reverts to old settings after a random amount of time
[03:16] <kaneda^> and can only be fixed by restarting x?
[03:16] <yoyoned> !ntfs|merther
[03:17] <Pulpie> adrian: use google?
[03:17] <ultraren> yoyoned, then how do i write to my fat partitions?
[03:17] <merther> ty
[03:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> anyone knows how can i calibrate colors of video?
[03:17] <Pulpie> adrian: consider the possiblity that the tuner doesn't have linux drivers
[03:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> seems like the hue in Totem doesn't work on my case
[03:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> :S
[03:17] <adrian> tryed that too, but no instructions for noobs
[03:17] <yoyoned> ultraren: you should be able to
[03:17] <arecibo> you should be able to write to FAT by default
[03:17] <Pulpie> adrian: then you have found instructions?
[03:17] <Randal1> any ideas anyone?
[03:17] <adrian> but it has, i've seen in google others that had this
[03:17] <Craighhney> can anyone tell me how to open a .bundle file?
[03:18] <Pulpie> Craighhney: google can, second time i answered this please read more carefully.
[03:18] <yoyoned> ultraren: I do it all the time without any trouble
[03:18] <arecibo> .bundle is a hidden directory
[03:18] <arecibo> cd into it
[03:18] <mrpockets> is there a command to remove a directory that's got shit in it?
[03:18] <arecibo> from terminal
[03:18] <arecibo> $ cd .budle
[03:18] <Pulpie> Craighhney: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=.bundle+file

[03:18] <Craighhney> pulpie stop telling me that
[03:18] <Pulpie> Craighhney: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=.bundle+file
[03:18] <ultraren> yoyoned, i can't, they are all read only.  this is a fresh install. i edited the fstab so they would be automounted on startup, and now i cant write to them
[03:18] <FloodBot2> Pulpie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:19] <Craighhney> and dont flood

[03:19] <kaneda^> my trackpad is f-ed up, can anyone help me?
[03:20] <mrpockets> i actually made a script to delete a buncha old users directories
[03:20] <yoyoned> ultraren:sudo  chmod 777 /media/noise
[03:20] <mrpockets> causae i couldn't figure that oneout :-p
[03:20] <lliw00> i have followed the online guides for ubuntu and playback of dvds, but im having no luck. any ideas?
[03:20] <kaneda^> it works fine for the first 15 minutes of using x, and then reverts to some other set of settings
[03:20] <Pulpie> kaneda^: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html explain how.
[03:20] <kaneda^> Pulpie, it works fine for the first 15 minutes of using x, and then reverts to some other set of settings
[03:20] <kaneda^> i have to restart x to get it to reload
[03:20] <Pulpie> kaneda^: how do you know it uses some other settings and that its not just some sort of glitch
[03:21] <Randal1> Pulpie: my exact problem is i don't know what that code on the page does as i've tried several times and believe i have entered in the right info and have not connected wirelessy yet
[03:21] <ZraS87> I'm having a problem
[03:21] <kaneda^> Pulpie, i dont
[03:21] <ultraren> yoyoyoned, ok, did sudo chmod 777 /media/noise. ls -l /media returns drwxr-xr-x  8 root root  4096 1969-12-31 16:00 noise
[03:21] <kaneda^> Pulpie, as far as i can tell, i do not have a documented problem
[03:21] <CaptainHowdy> I am having an issue with virtual desktops http://paste.ubuntu.com/58627/
[03:21] <Pulpie> kaneda^: then you need to document it
[03:21] <ZraS87> Why is it sometimes my mp3 files play and sometimes don't ???
[03:22] <ZraS87> I have the streamer plug ins
[03:22] <ZraS87> can anyone help?
[03:22] <kaneda^> Pulpie, i've looked in the xorg log and found nothing strange, and it doesnt happen at any given time that i can document
[03:22] <Pulpie> ZraS87: what do you play them in
[03:22] <ZraS87> anything
[03:22] <ZraS87> like
[03:22] <yoyoned> ultraren: change owner of noise and try to write file
[03:22] <kaneda^> Pulpie, it seems random, suddenly my trackpad will ONLY vertical scroll, not move regularly, and then it goes to these other settings
[03:22] <ZraS87> rythymbox
[03:22] <Pulpie> kaneda^: you said about 15 minutes after xorg starts
[03:23] <kaneda^> Pulpie, totally depends, it seems the more stressed the computer is the faster it happens
[03:23] <Pulpie> ZraS87: try totem/mplayer and check if alsa is installed
[03:23] <ZraS87> ok
[03:23] <Pulpie> kaneda^: it could be that you computer generates too much heat
[03:23] <ultraren> yoyoned, sudo chown -R laserwolf /media/noise returns "operation not permited"
[03:23] <Azhi_Dahaka> No ideas how can I fix the color issue?
[03:23] <Pulpie> kaneda^: so the track pad cant tell if your finger is actually touching it or not
[03:23] <kaneda^> Pulpie, i don't doubt that, but if that's resetting the mouse driver to default then i'm a monkey's uncle
[03:24] <Pulpie> kaneda^: why would it do that in the middle of running xorg
[03:24] <ZraS87> no they won't play
[03:24] <Pulpie> ZraS87: is alsa installed?
[03:24] <kaneda^> Pulpie, i dunno, that's what i'm here to find out
[03:24] <ultraren> yoyoned, chown: changing ownership of `/media/noise': Operation not permitted
[03:24] <ZraS87> I think alsa is installed
[03:24] <ZraS87> how do you check
[03:24] <Pulpie> ZraS87: ps aw | grep alsa
[03:24] <yoyoned> ultraren: try chown without the -R
[03:24] <ZraS87> just to make sure
[03:24] <mrpockets> does Ubuntu not have a .bash_profile ?
[03:25] <Pulpie> mrpockets: it should if you use bash with it
[03:25] <proxybomber> is there anyway to make your virtual box fit the whole screen? not just a little screen?
[03:25] <ultraren> yoyoned, same thing
[03:25] <ZraS87> I put that int the terminal
[03:25] <mrpockets> hmm
[03:25] <mrpockets> I'm pretty sure I'm using bash
[03:25] <ZraS87> it gave me :  6465 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep alsa
[03:25] <ZraS87> back
[03:26] <Pulpie> mrpockets: erm actually no debian does not have it
[03:26] <kaneda^> mrpockets, in your home folder .bashrc
[03:26] <yoyoned> ultraren: what is output of df -h
[03:26] <Pulpie> ZraS87: no you need to install alsa
[03:26] <Pulpie> kaneda^: thats not .bash_profile
[03:26] <mrpockets> if i want a script to run at startup
[03:26] <ZraS87> how do I do that?
[03:26] <kaneda^> mrpockets, .bashrc
[03:26] <mrpockets> what file do I modify to run it?
[03:26] <kaneda^> mrpockets, ^^
[03:26] <ZraS87> I thought I already had it?
[03:26] <Pulpie> ZraS87: apt-cache search alsa
[03:26] <mrpockets> thanks
[03:26] <ultraren> yoyoned, /dev/sdb6              43G   35G  7.9G  82% /media/noise
[03:27] <kaneda^> Pulpie, so why would it be resetting in the middle of running x?
[03:27] <bullgard4>  Gestern gab es ein Kernelupdate via Aktualisierungsverwaltung auf 2.6.24-21. Ich wurde gefragt, ob ich meine alte alte Datei /boot/grub/menu.lst beibehalten wolle. Ich antwortete: "Ja",
[03:27] <Pulpie> kaneda^: there is no logical reason for this, i dont think it would
[03:27] <Pulpie> kaneda^: i think you are "jumping to conclusions"
[03:27] <ZraS87> it put alot of stuff back
[03:28] <Pulpie> mrpockets: man crontab
[03:28] <bullgard4>  Gestern gab es ein Kernelupdate via Aktualisierungsverwaltung auf 2.6.24-21. Ich wurde gefragt, ob ich meine alte alte Datei /boot/grub/menu.lst beibehalten wolle. Ich antwortete: "Ja",  weil ich meine Framebufferkonsole nicht verlieren wollte. Jetzt habe ich aber keinen Kernel 2.6.24-21. Was tun? Zeilen in /boot/grub/menu.list einfügen von Hand?
[03:29] <Pulpie> ZraS87: search through it and find alsa audio server and install that package

[03:30] <kaneda^> Pupeno, i can also tell you that sometime during my x session it resets the mouse settings and completely ignores the stuff in xorg.conf
[03:30] <dasickis> Pulpie: it doesn't so how do i figure out if the CF is corrupted or if ubutu is messing up
[03:30] <Pulpie> kaneda^: i haven't used that. check its settings through
[03:30] <kaneda^> Pulpie*
[03:30] <Pulpie> dasickis: huh?
[03:30] <yoyoned> ultraren: i am at a loss.  could you write to if before adding the line to fstab
[03:31] <kaneda^> Pulpie, the settings work correctly at the beginning of my x session, and at some point the mouse freezes up, and upon becoming unfrozen no longer works as is set in xorg.conf

[03:34] <Pulpie> bungieQord: then run the same thing but with ~/passwdln at the end
[03:34] <ZraS87> Pulpie: this is what terminal gave me ...

[03:34] <Pulpie> NOOO
[03:35] <bungieQord> jtisme, I'm supposed to link my home directory to /etc/passwd... So /etc/passwd is my file
[03:35] <Pulpie> ZraS87: type yes
[03:35] <bungieQord> jtisme, also, do I need to be in my home directory or /etc/ directory?
[03:35] <Pulpie> ZraS87: oh wait, start alsa
[03:35] <n8tuser> bungieQord-> that does not make sense
[03:35] <Pulpie> ZraS87: man alsa to figure out how
[03:35] <dasickis> Pulpie: i'm trying to get ubuntu to see my CF card but i'm wondering how do i tell if my CF card is corrupt or if ubuntu doesn't have proper driver support
[03:35] <Pulpie> dasickis: dont ask me directly
[03:36] <jtisme> bungie ln -s /etc/passwd /home/myhome.dir
[03:36] <ZraS87> yes
[03:36] <kaneda^> Pulpie, i'm back
[03:36] <Pulpie> dasickis: whats a cf?
[03:36] <Pulpie> kaneda^: wb
[03:36] <kaneda^> Pulpie, did you see my trackpad settings in xorg?
[03:36] <yoyoned> ultraren: I dn't know what else to try other that removeing the line in fstab and letting hal  mount it at boot or whrn plugged in
[03:36] <jtisme> bungieQord, ln -s /etc/passwd /home/myhome.dir
[03:36] <Pulpie> kaneda^: yes but i dont have your trackpad so i dont know the settings that it should have
[03:36] <kaneda^> Pulpie, all of those settings work
[03:36] <dasickis> cf = compact flash
[03:36] <kaneda^> until something happens at which point it resets
[03:36] <biabia> ok so my update notify said 5 updates available so i updated...then saw that it checked 14 hours ago, so i checked again and now there is 90 updates available. anyone know why
[03:37] <ultraren> yoyoned, i just #'d out the line in fstab.
[03:37] <Pulpie> kaneda^: how does it reset?
[03:37] <Stargazer> How do i print an image over a number of pages instead of the entire image being on one page ?
[03:37] <dasickis> sorry, you answered my question before
[03:37] <Randal1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i need help understanding the code at the bottom of the page listed under network manager problems    can someone please take a look? plz?
[03:37] <Pulpie> dasickis: i did?
[03:37] <dasickis> yeah
[03:37] <biabia> Stargazer, poster
[03:37] <yoyoned> ultraren: sudo umount /media/noise
[03:37] <Pulpie> dasickis: what question was that?
[03:37] <ZraS87> keeps on giving me error messages
[03:37] <Stargazer> Biabia: ?
[03:37] <Mari> how do i get in to root?
[03:37] <kaneda^> Pulpie, the mouse goes crazy (i.e., only allows me to vertical scroll), and then locks up, after which it is reset
[03:37] <Pulpie> ZraS87: try it as root
[03:37] <dasickis> it was: how do i make ubuntu see my flash card
[03:38] <Pulpie> kaneda^: but how do you know the settings are changed
[03:38] <dasickis> you said it does it by default
[03:38] <dasickis> so i was working on that for this long and it doesn't
[03:38] <jtisme> Mari, sudo su -
[03:38] <yoyoned> ultraren: unplug/replug device.  do you use gnome
[03:38] <zcat[1]> just wondering if there's any GOOD OCR software in Linux.. something that actually manages to get most of the words right.. xsane totally fails
[03:38] <Pulpie> dasickis: whats a cf card?
[03:38] <ultraren> yoyoned, ah ha! unmounting and remounting works
[03:38] <Pulpie> Mari: man su or man sudo
[03:38] <dasickis> cf card = compact flash card
[03:38] <biabia> Stargazer, poster should be a print option, then let you select how many pages to break it up into
[03:38] <csilk> !sudo
[03:38] <csilk> !sudo > mari
[03:38] <zcat[1]> !ocr
[03:39] <kaneda^> Pulpie, what do you mean how do i know, all of a sudden my tap to click is back on and the sensitivity has gone way down
[03:39] <Pulpie> dasickis: ahh umm it should just pop up like any other usb device
[03:39] <Pulpie> kaneda^: so that doesn't mean the xorg.conf was changed
[03:39] <kaneda^> what
[03:39] <dasickis> but it doesn't so what's my next step to figuring out where the problem is
[03:39] <kaneda^> why would xorg.conf have been changed
[03:39] <ultraren> yoyoned, oh the mount point has changed
[03:39] <yoyoned> ultraren: good, tell me again why you added a line to fstab for the device
[03:39] <kaneda^> Pulpie, what in god's name are you talking about
[03:39] <kaneda^> Pulpie, the mouse is handled by gsynaptic, xorg tells it what settings to load with
[03:39] <Pulpie> kaneda^: thats the only way the settings for your touchpad would be changed
[03:39] <formode> Hello I am looking for a Keyboard onscreen that will allow me to set it's langauge. Anyone know of one?
[03:40] <kaneda^> no
[03:40] <kaneda^> they can be changed live via gsynaptics
[03:40] <Pulpie> kaneda^: oh remove gsynaptics then
[03:40] <Pulpie> kaneda^: it seems to want to screw up the settings xorg set
[03:40] <Stargazer> Biabia: in what program ? i can't find that option in eog or g-thumb's printing options.
[03:40] <kaneda^> gsynaptics is what's allowing me to use the nice mouse config that i'm using now
[03:40] <ZraS87> Pulpie: hold on ...if the web browser can play music and sound works ...
[03:40] <kaneda^> Pulpie, is there someone more experience around?
[03:41] <jtisme> dasickis, tail /var/log/messages  and see if the OS found anything
[03:41] <Pulpie> kaneda^: O_O this isn't like a damn store im not paid to talk to you
[03:41] <curtis> how can i make windows xp boot instead of ubuntu when i turn my comptuer on?

[03:41] <yoyoned> !grub|curtis
[03:41] <formode> Hello I am looking for a Keyboard onscreen that will allow me to set it's langauge. Anyone know of one?

[03:42] <Randal1> what does acces point: not associated mean?
[03:42] <dasickis> jtisme: i'm wondering if it's because i was messing with the bios

[03:42] <jtisme> dasickis, not sure about that what did you change in bios
[03:42] <curtis> in terminal...
[03:43] <Pulpie> curtis: you mean "where is the grub conf file?"
[03:43] <zcat[1]> "shipping  co_p_nie8  8re, i cre 8si_ly ,using Pjv_te sicujtp M_s to co_b_k pirates off the coast of So_di_  becguEe ' f__eign na_es _e"
[03:43] <dasickis> jtisme: actually wait this time it did say it found something with this new CF card

[03:57] <biabia> well people expect miracles. sometimes a little sweat must be shed
[03:57] <n8tuser> whyameye-> do you have a need for it?
[03:57] <Pulpie> biabia: but i dont require anything but DECENT english
