[04:05] <mirak> my kernel doesn't boot
[04:05] <mirak> is there some support somewhere ?
[04:05] <jrib> kevb: pastebin maybe, I mean do you think someone will just say yes without knowing what the massive favor is? :)
[04:05] <Andy> mirak:try here;-)
[04:05] <sticazzi> I'd be happy if someone quickly reviews the other two just to make sure that I'm not spamming the bug tracking tool. The problems I had encountered were: http://cimarosti.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-installation.html
[04:05] <coolpaul900> Why does my splash look kinda weird? It looks a little darker then normal?
[04:06] <jrib> !repeat | coolpaul900
[04:06] <ubotu> coolpaul900: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[04:06] <kevb> I need someone to enable remote desktop, set password to "password" (or something else, known) and then copy me the file ~/gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access/%gconf.xml . (Theres no security problem btw, just tell me the password after you copy the file and change the pw)
[04:06] <coolpaul900> Why does my splash look kinda weird? It looks a little darker then normal?
[04:06] <ubuntero22> i have a problem installing dapper, when loading i get error such "buffer i/o error" anybody knows how can i solve this? thanks a lot for your help
[04:06] <alnokta> Hello ... I need some help ... I was adjusting "Services" from "System" ... I unticked "D bus service" . when I did that ... the "services-admin" disappeared ..also I cannot access "Right click on desktop menu" ... anyone knows how to undo the stupid thing I made?
[04:06] <josh__> lol next question... who uses dyndns services?
[04:07] <josh__> such as webhop/dynamic dns... whatever
[04:07] <mirak> Andy: the 2.6.17-10 kernel fail to boot, I think it's bound to LVM. by grub menu.lst is ok, but something is wrong with this upgrade from dapper. I had this problem on another computer but it's fixed now, though I don't know how or why.
[04:07] <coolpaul900> mirak, I had the same problem
[04:07] <mirak> I am goind to do a fresh install but that's a waste of time
[04:08] <kevb> jrib: Feel like helping : )
[04:08] <coolpaul900> mirak, did you type aptitude in the terminal and check to see if any was broken?
[04:08] <mike_> aoupi: So now I've added the dir to both bachrc and enviroment /home/mike/myappdir but how what?
[04:08] <mirak> I also can copy that other system to this boot partition since I managed to boot that other harddrive on this box
[04:08] <jrib> kevb: maybe in a bit, doing something else atm
[04:08] <JNeverMind> weee  i got it
[04:08] <sticazzi> should I post these as bugs or are they too minor?
[04:08] <mirak> coolpaul900: lot of problems came during the upgrade
[04:08] <coolpaul900> ya
[04:09] <mike_> aoupi: How do i start my program just by typing "appname" without /dir/dir/appname
[04:09] <kevb> jrib: No problem at all
[04:09] <mirak> CoolBeer: but now it seems to be fixed. Maybe a package like ubuntu-minimal is missing, I will check that
[04:09] <alnokta> nevermind ..
[04:09] <coolpaul900> Mirak: That was my only problem I think..
[04:09] <mirak> coolpaul900: how did yu fixed it ?
[04:09] <ubuntero22> i have a problem installing dapper, when loading i get error such "buffer i/o error" anybody knows how can i solve this? thanks a lot for your help
[04:09] <coolpaul900> go to aptitude in the terminal
[04:10] <coolpaul900> mirak: then look to see if there is any broken packages
[04:10] <aoupi> mike_: it should just work now
[04:10] <LjL> aoupi: you add the directory to your path. export PATH="directory:$PATH" - but your programs should be in standard directories anyway (if you add your own, either /usr/local or /opt)
 Do you have enough ram?
[04:10] <ubuntero22> ye
[04:11] <ubuntero22> yes
[04:11] <ubuntero22> actually i dont have the problem in hoary
[04:11] <coolpaul900> how much?
[04:11] <mirak> coolpaul900: aptitude -f is supposed to reveal that
[04:11] <coolpaul900> ok
[04:11] <ubuntero22> 256 mb
[04:11] <jmitchj> could someone help me with this message?..."W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.moshen.de dapper Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FC0A1CC62F306651"
[04:11] <coolpaul900> then you should be good
[04:11] <ubuntero22> when installing hoary i dont have that problem
[04:11] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell jmitchj about gpgerr
[04:11] <josh__> LjL: or u just add it to the /etc/environment file and no export is needed... and its global for all users...
[04:12] <LookTJ> I need help with fonts
[04:12] <Ych> anyone know a good ftp server program?
[04:12] <LjL> josh__: guess so, thanks. still the point about standard paths remains
[04:12] <ubuntero22> but when dapper installer loads (which loads as a live cd) i get that errors
[04:12] <coolpaul900> hmm.. I had that happen to me
[04:12] <josh__> yeah... standard paths are great if you only need it for one user
[04:12] <LookTJ> I got a zip of 6000 fonts, but don't know where to put the fonts
[04:12] <sticazzi> kevb, I can probably remote desktop to myself from the laptop, but no inbound connections - you just need that file, right?
[04:12] <josh__> Ych: proftpd
[04:12] <coolpaul900> Use the alternative disc instaed
[04:12] <FRET> LookTJ, dont install of them
[04:12] <Ych> thankyou josh__
[04:12] <mike_> aoupi: Now it did i just toke like 1 min b4 it did, sorry, Thank you!
[04:13] <LookTJ> FRET: why not?
[04:13] <coolpaul900> ubuntero22> use the alternative disc
[04:13] <LookTJ> I need fonts for gimp :|
[04:13] <LjL> josh__: no i meant putting applications in /opt or /usr/local, rather than changing the path (either for the local user or using /etc/environment)
[04:13] <JNeverMind> do you know a way to confirm im actually in(using) software raid?
[04:13] <ubuntero22> i will try paul.. thanks a lot for your help
[04:13] <kevb> sticazzi: I need that file and I need to know the password for your remote desktop, so it needs to be changed (so you don't give me your password :)
[04:13] <coolpaul900> ur welcome
[04:13] <ubuntero22> you say it worked for you right?
[04:13] <coolpaul900> yep
[04:13] <JNeverMind> mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0
[04:13] <josh__> oh... yeah that is definately safer then changing the path
[04:13] <JNeverMind> STATE: clean
[04:14] <JNeverMind> should i say active ?
[04:14] <mirak> coolpaul900: I have no broken pacakges
[04:14] <JNeverMind> should it say active instead of clean ?
[04:14] <jrib> kevb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29735/
it might be that you have a problem with your cdrom drive
[04:14] <coolpaul900> hmm
[04:14] <ubuntero22> ok... i will try then, do you know if efty has the same problem? i dont know if downloading dapper or efty
[04:14] <kevb> jrib: Thanks so much
[04:14] <josh__> but in my case i do alot of scripting and testing and such so i have created a /scripts/ directory and just added that to my path to keep my applications seprate from system ones since i use a messed up naming convention also :P
[04:14] <coolpaul900> mirak: is there a solution there?
[04:14] <jrib> kevb: password is foobar by the way
[04:15] <kevb> jrib: nice one!
[04:15] <ubuntero22> well... rare thing is that hoary live cd works.. and same thing with hoary instalator...
[04:15] <mirak> coolpaul900: where ?
[04:15] <coolpaul900> mirak: if yes I would suggest doing it

It is a windows server, I set up putty to connect to the IP(of course) and set up L4800 localhost:4800 as a tunnel and tried to connect. I was able to connect and log in just fine...

[04:18] <atarinox> anybody have an idea why firefox is crashing on me after installing the flash-nonfree plugin?
[04:18] <sami> how i get rid off edgy's bootsplash in startup and shutdown
[04:18] <atarinox> when i try to load a flash page
[04:18] <Joe_SWAU> Hello, I am having problems booting after my laptop crashed during an update. The error I get at boot is : [17179571.21200]  Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) [17179571.21200]
[04:18] <LjL> sami: /boot/grub/menu.lst - remove the "splash" kernel parameter
[04:18] <j2daosh> i left it commented out... my router will block everyone from the outside and any computer has to know the password to log in so im fine
[04:18] <Dimensions> ubuntero22:  i have had some units which couldn't load with ubuntu they had 256 ram and 40 Gb hdd ... but i had to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and reduce the vga size etc ... they work fine then ...
[04:19] <ubuntero22> yes, thats like my system
[04:19] <j2daosh> Ych: basically all you do is edit your /etc/proftpd.conf file
[04:19] <Ych> ok thanks
[04:19] <variant> i sit just me or is the gnome menu slow to respond?
[04:19] <variant> is it*
[04:19] <ubuntero22> its 256 ram, 80 gb, amd at 1.5 ghz
[04:19] <LookTJ> ych: or install gproftpd
[04:19] <Dimensions> Joe_SWAU: i get the same problem but with installing ubuntu not after updating ...
[04:19] <Ych> and its running all the time, right? @j2daosh
[04:19] <soundray> Since I upgraded to edgy, antialiased fonts look poor in some apps (but not in others). Have you seen this/fixed this?
[04:19] <coolpaul900> ubuntero22: do you have the right disc?
[04:19] <ubuntero22> the easiest thing would be installing the alternate
[04:19] <variant> soundray: I have heard of htis.. dont know what the cause is though
[04:19] <LookTJ> ych: yep
[04:20] <coolpaul900> ubuntero22: Ya much easier
[04:20] <sami> LjL, my kernel line is : /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash, should i remove that last word "splash"
[04:20] <ubuntero22> sorry coolpaul, what you mean with right disk? my english is terrible
[04:20] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: from the live CD, can you mount your root partition and find the file /etc/fstab?
[04:20] <coolpaul900> ubuntero22: do you have one for AMD?
[04:20] <Dimensions> yeah ubuntero22 because alternate one  doesn't load live cd ...should work for you as it did in dozen of times for me ... in many sistuation ...
[04:20] <LjL> sami: yes. possibly "quiet" as well, to get more text output, though i'm not sure
[04:20] <MTecknology> I'm trying to connect to my server with vncviewer.

When I tried to connect vnc to localhosthost:4800 it couldn't connect. I'm getting the error Connection Refused What am I doing wrong?
[04:20] <soundray> variant: you don't happen to remember where you heard it?
[04:20] <ubuntero22> i dont know, i have to check that
[04:21] <coolpaul900> ubuntero22: did you burn the disc urself?
[04:21] <variant> soundray: in here, somone complaining abou tit :)
[04:21] <MTecknology> you said tit
[04:21] <soundray> variant: it was me, probably :(
[04:21] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: It says unable to mount volume.

[04:22] <Dimensions> coolpaul900:  i have been in such situation many times with such errors with right disc .. i386 desktop ... but only in live version ...
[04:22] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Something about it not being a removable drive.
[04:22] <balayhashi> jjss: escolhe-me !
[04:22] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Do I need to mount it from the terminal?
[04:22] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: what's the device name of the partition?
[04:22] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: probably.
[04:23] <Dimensions> ubuntero22:  if you try alternate ... u wont have any such errors .. i have solved that problem more than dozen times ... with alternate cd ...
[04:23] <ubuntero22> yes... actually didnt happen to me with hoary, rare thing is that using hoary live cd didnt have that error
[04:23] <coolpaul900> ubuntero22: to install I would use the alternative...it is much mch fatser

[04:27] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: do a "cat /mnt/etc/fstab" and put the output on the pastebin (see /topic)
[04:27] <aoupi> j2daosh: I see, gentoo and ubuntu differs in the apache conf then
[04:27] <azarias> xroach,  hm... how did you installed then?? there is a RAM check software on the Boot cd, I would  start a RAM check
[04:28] <aoupi> j2daosh: go into the directory with httpd.conf then: grep DocumentRoot *
[04:28] <j2daosh> yeah, gentoo is more of a "compile it yourself since you think your so special" distro :P
[04:28] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: /topic?
[04:28] <xroach> azarias Used the alternative cd, I had 6.06 and it worked but i decided to go for edgy:D
[04:28] <soundray> MTecknology: if you keep doing the same thing, you will keep getting the same results. Reformulate the question.
[04:28] <aoupi> j2daosh: DocumentRoot is what you want to change. that's gentoo in a nutshell :)
[04:28] <Dimensions> soundray: there is no mysqld.sock in location its telling me and when i try to start mysql with /etc/init.d/mysql start it gave the same error

[04:28] <MTecknology> soundray, how?
[04:28] <j2daosh> ok ill have to add a line... there isn't one in the http.conf file
[04:29] <Joe_SWAU> The channel #topic?
[04:29] <Elohimus> afternoon all, wondering how I can get my laptop to use the 1280x768 resolution. It's not an option in my resolution settings. I've gotten it before, just don't remember what I did last time. -.-;;
[04:29] <soundray> MTecknology: if you can't think of anything else, at least remove the mistakes and typos from your question.
[04:29] <MTecknology> k
[04:29] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: yes, that has a pastebin pointer, too.
[04:29] <azarias> xroach,  looks to me like a kernel problem.... but it could be sth. else though
[04:30] <Elohimus> I think I just used apt-get to install a driver and then I was all set, but I don't remember the driver name.
[04:30] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: no, sorry, the topic of this channel (available by typing /topic)
[04:30] <xroach> azarias so anything what I can do for it?
[04:30] <j2daosh> well adding the line didn't work
[04:31] <aoupi> j2daosh: in /etc/apache2 is there only an httpd.conf file or are there more stuff in there?
[04:31] <soundray> Elohimus: could have been fglrx or nvidia-glx
[04:31] <xroach> azarias what should i read from var/log
[04:31] <azarias> xroach,  download the 386 or the x86 cd you shoudnt have any probs.
[04:31] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Ok, I just did it.
[04:31] <joel> Does anyone know any good GUI client for MySQL?
[04:31] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: I need the URL

[04:31] <j2daosh> there is apache2.conf / httpd.conf / ports.conf

[04:32] <LjL> sami, if you're afraid of messing up your system, then don't touch menu.lst; simply, when you boot, go into the grub menu, type "e" when you've selected your kernel line, edit it (to remove "splash"), and type "b" to boot. that way, the change will only affect that particular boot, and if it goes wrong, you can just reboot
[04:32] <j2daosh> rebeca: with what?
[04:32] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell sami about grub

[04:34] <azarias> xroach,  well this deppends on your systems, might be that you've installed the wrong kernel...
[04:34] <kevb> has anyone successfully connected to an edgy machine using the vnc server in gnome (Remote Desktop)?

[04:35] <aoupi> j2daosh: see if there already is any DocumentRoot in any of thoose files
[04:35] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Did you get the URL?
[04:35] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: no
[04:35] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29737/
[04:35] <j2daosh> mope
[04:35] <j2daosh> nope
[04:36] <Vigzilla> URL for a first install on a newish (stoopi) XP box?
[04:36] <sami> LjL, Thanks! :)
[04:36] <ailean> where is the channel for rosetta language support?
[04:36] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: that's fine, it doesn't explain your problem. I think the best thing to do is start over with the installation.
[04:36] <termleech> does anyone here have ubuntu working on two monitors with fglrx?
[04:36] <termleech> cause i'm racking my brains and can't get it to work
[04:37] <aoupi> j2daosh: are you sure thoose are all that is in /etc/apache2? no other directories?
[04:37] <termleech> i can get dual monitors with ati and radeon but not fglrx
[04:37] <termleech> and i'd really like the direct rending as it speeds things up a lot
[04:37] <angelo> edgy doesn't download the updates...
[04:37] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: So, if I ever update my computer, and it powers off during the update, I will just have to reinstall the whole thing?
[04:37] <azureal> did you guys find that the comprehensive sound guide just doesnt work...and in fact breaks your sound?
[04:37] <LjL> azureal: which one?
[04:37] <azureal> ^^  i mean this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[04:37] <aoupi> j2daosh: and since you change Listen in httpd.conf, I suggest you change it in ports.conf instead seems like that is the way ubuntu wants it
[04:37] <termleech> i'm running ubuntu edgy BTW
[04:38] <LjL> azureal: ah, well, *shrug*, forum thread... ;)
[04:38] <rc-1> why should the arcatectural design of a system precede the development for a formal specification
[04:38] <angelo> edgy doesn't download the updates...
[04:38] <Dimensions> where is log file for mysql in ubuntu ?
[04:38] <azureal> LjL, sadly my recent experimentation has led me to break things
[04:38] <Dimensions> or error log or something ?
[04:38] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: What if there was something imortant on there? Would there be a way of recovering it?
[04:38] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: no, this is an unusual consequence of a powercut.
[04:39] <azureal> LjL, in my attempts to get multiple sound outputs to work simultaneously, i first managed to disable oss, and after the guide it doesnt recognize my sound card at all
[04:39] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: I thought you were installing rather than updating during the powercut. Okay, let's think about your problem again.
[04:39] <livingdaylight> anyone here familiar with Flickr?
[04:39] <angelo> edgy doesn't download the updates...
[04:40] <LjL> angelo, what updates?
[04:40] <livingdaylight> is Flickr cool? what is the Ubuntu consensus?
[04:40] <aoupi> livingdaylight: I find it slow :)
[04:40] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  it aint near as annoying as YouTube. :)
[04:40] <livingdaylight> aoupi: is there an open-source alternative?
[04:40] <Dr_willis> but theres a lot of neat things to do with FLickr
[04:40] <angelo> LjL, there are available updates, but through updates-manager it doesn't download anything
[04:41] <LaR1> can anyone tell me were to get libdvdcss for amd64 ?
[04:41] <engie> livingdaylight: It has a great api
[04:41] <LjL> angelo: indeed, there are some updates from edgy-security. i could tell you how to install them manually -- i don't know why update-manager wouldn't get them, though
[04:41] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: not sure what you mean. I find youtube a great resource :)
[04:41] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Yeah, I was just updating it.
[04:41] <angelo> LjL, it is working to you ?
[04:41] <livingdaylight> aoupi: so, apart from speed it is good?
[04:41] <livingdaylight> engie: api?
[04:41] <LjL> angelo, i don't have Gnome
[04:41] <kevb> has anyone successfully connected to an edgy machine using the vnc server in gnome (Remote Desktop)?
[04:42] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  i find it to be a Cancer on the brains of the masses.. :)
[04:42] <xopher> how do you guys suggest using ps? eg 'ps aux, ps -A' etc, to get the best (most clear) output?
[04:42] <aoupi> livingdaylight: yea, I don't upload anything to it but if it were faster I wouldn't ignore flickr links
[04:42] <angelo> LjL, i know how to install them manually however i think it's a bad issue anyway
[04:42] <dgl> Hi, yesterday I changed my /etc/apt/source.list to edgy and did apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. After a long download and install everything looks work fine. I turned off my computer and went to bed. Unfortunately, my computer doesnt boot up today. It stops at Running /scripts/init-bottom. Does anybody may help me?
[04:42] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: lol, is that all!?
[04:42] <Ych> is there a way to open a folder on the GUI in root mode?
[04:42] <feliciano> Hi... I have beryl + Xubuntu... But I cant use the AltGr key... Do You know how fix it???
[04:42] <angelo> kevb, i use that often.. it works fine
[04:42] <LjL> angelo: indeed. but not having Gnome, i can't check this out
[04:42] <IndyBC> How do I create a symbolic link?
[04:42] <jpjacobs> Ych, gksudo nautilus (but whatch out what you do)
[04:43] <angelo> Ych, sudo nautilus /path/to/folder
[04:43] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  i also am amazed at how many trademark/copyright/whatever violations are there. :P  Gotta love it when a guys posts a copy of a funny comercial.. then cuts out the last bit an puts his own web site ad there.
[04:43] <LjL> IndyBC: man ln
[04:43] <Ych> thanks
[04:43] <kevb> angelo: I am getting an authentication error using the same config from dapper, now in edgy :S
[04:43] <IndyBC> LjL: ok, thx
[04:43] <Ych> just wanna move a file, too lazy to mv
[04:43] <angelo> kevb, strange
[04:43] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: this 'unknown block' error is odd. Your root partition is okay, otherwise it wouldn't mount just like that. Let's try reinstalling grub.
[04:43] <angelo> edgy doesn't download the updates...
[04:44] <JNeverMind> i have a default install of ubuntu server 606 how could i find out if its apache2.0 or apache 2.2 ?
[04:44] <feryana> Hi guys!!!!
[04:44] <JNeverMind> :q!
[04:44] <feryana> Is possible to extract a webpage (html file) and convert it to pdf??????????'
[04:44] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: have you got the live CD booted?
[04:44] <feryana> I tried to force it but no way
[04:44] <Joe_SWAU> The error comes right after it uncomresses the linux kernel.
[04:44] <sticazzi> feryana, it's possible to print it
[04:45] <feryana> yeah I remeber
[04:45] <aoupi> JNeverMind: go to http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ThisDoesNotExist
[04:45] <feryana> cool thanks
[04:45] <feryana> i think that I have the software
[04:45] <feryana> on printers
[04:45] <aoupi> JNeverMind: look at the server info there
[04:45] <engie> livingdaylight: For fiddling with your photos from python! I've put together a couple of fun little tools
[04:45] <feryana> with postscript???
[04:45] <feryana> I dont find the file
[04:45] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: d'you hear the news about myspace? they gonna use this software that apple uses so people can't use illegal media
[04:46] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Yes, I have the live CD booted, but the error comes after grub has done it's thing, and the linux kernel is uncompressed. (It is the line right after that uncompressing linux kernel message.
[04:46] <sontek> Do you guys know if there is a better way of refreshing the gnome network manager wireless networks than restarting dbus?
[04:47] <feryana> sticazzi how I do that??? I thought that was with postscript, but I don't find the file
[04:47] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: my suspicion is that grub is using a wrong root parameter to the kernel. Do you want to try my suggestion? The other thing you could do is let me have a look at your /boot/grub/menu.lst (on pastebin)
[04:48] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Ok.
[04:48] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: that's /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst if you've mounted the HD from the live CD
[04:48] <termleech> can anyone help me getting dual head set up under fglrx and ubuntu edgy for xorg
[04:48] <termleech> i'm banging my head here
[04:49] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: How do I open that file?
[04:49] <snoops> feryana yep, quite a few html to pdf converters about.. not sure of anything in specific... but googling for html to pdf linux is a start. I made a small html to pdf converter for a project once..but it was specific to them
[04:49] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  yea.. i imagine the disaster that will be.. :) since from what ive seen all the  'legal' videos are peoples home movies of their pets.
[04:49] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: What text editor do I use?
[04:49] <Flats> In my smb.conf file. I want allow all PC's on the 192.168.1.XXX network. What should my hosts allow format look like? 192.168.1?
[04:49] <dgl> Hi, yesterday I changed my /etc/apt/source.list to edgy and did apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. After a long download and installation everything looks work fine. I turned off my computer and went to bed. Unfortunately, my computer does not boot up today. It stops at Running /scripts/init-bottom. Does anybody may help me?
[04:50] <feryana> snoops, I can print it into a pdf file, but I don't see the pdf printer I can see "Make a pdf file" but doesn't appear on the print options of firefox
[04:50] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: cat /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst will display the file in the terminal
[04:51] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: indeed, that'll be all thats left. As all the music and legal stuff won't be allowed. Welcome to the DRM  generation!
[04:51] <dob1> can the ubuntu installer boot and recognize a sata hdd ?
[04:51] <dob1> i have some problem with it
[04:51] <snoops> Dr_willis, on youtube there's about 2 or 3 people I regularly watch, and they're witty, intelligent, and provide a great piece of entertainment..it's the same with blogs.. Most blogs suck, as do most home videos.. if you spend awhile finding the good stuff, it's well worth it
[04:51] <Cyril__> hi
[04:52] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29742/
[04:52] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  personally ive been going to the 'adult swim' site - and watching shows legally. :) better quality also.
[04:52] <aoupi> livingdaylight: more like: welcome to the piracy generation
[04:52] <feryana> I think I got it
[04:52] <Ych> hmmmm i get an error when i try to run openftpd:  - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'localhost' error: Name or service not known
[04:52] <Ych> anyone know what this means?
[04:52] <livingdaylight> aoupi: piractes are being exterminated
[04:52] <aoupi> Ych: that shouldn't matter
[04:53] <feryana> is firefox fault, coz with Konqueror I can do it
[04:53] <Ych> ok good
[04:53] <xamox> if a package went into a config mode when I did an apt-get install, how can I make that config pop up again. I know I have done it before, but I don't remember the command
[04:53] <Dr_willis> snoops,  bah! i spend all my time exploring "SecondLive" trying to find ANYTHING worth doing on it.  :)
[04:53] <aoupi> livingdaylight: no, not even close
[04:53] <Ych> thanks aoupi
[04:53] <Cyril__> I upgrade to edgy using the edgy install CD, an internet connection and the 'gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" ' command, but it stops while downloading
[04:53] <rausb0> xamox: dpkg-reconfigure packagename
[04:54] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: nothing obviously wrong in there. Do a 'sudo grub' and enter 'root (hd0,0)', then 'setup (hd0)'
[04:54] <xamox> rausb0:  alright, thx.
[04:54] <Stusio> hi all
[04:54] <Cyril__> how can I continue ?
[04:54] <snoops> Dr_willis oh gosh..I've been fighting an urge to get into secondlife
[04:55] <Dr_willis> snoops,  i read a artical about the Weather Service (NOAA) having a neat second life 'exibit' so i go .. and cant find it...
[04:55] <livingdaylight> aoupi: then i'm hanging out with the wrong crowd! can i join your gang? :p
[04:55] <Dr_willis> snoops,  its amazing what a mess it is.
[04:55] <aoupi> livingdaylight: sure :)
[04:55] <Dr_willis> snoops,  the Linux SecondLife client seems to work  decently for me however.
[04:55] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: It says it succeeded.
[04:55] <Stusio> who can help me whit eciadsl?
[04:55] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: great. Type quit and reboot from the HD.
[04:56] <aoupi> livingdaylight: I'll stop pirating when I can buy movies cheaply that are high quality and no DRM, same for music
[04:56] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: checking out adult swim site - a first -hrmmm
[04:56] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Ok, thanks will do.
[04:56] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  yea the 'adult swim fix' is the site that has the shows..
[04:56] <xopher> fast question, how can I extract all the zip files in a dir with one command?
[04:56] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,   it should work if ya got all the right plugins/packages/players installed. :)
[04:56] <soundray> xopher: for i in *.zip ; do unzip $i ; done
[04:56] <Dr_willis> xopher,  unzip "*.zip"
[04:57] <feryana> snoops. I got it, is easy, you must browse with Konqueror, then just click on print and select "To a PDF file" and wuala! I don't know if is my faoult or firefox's but on it, I can't do it
[04:57] <Dr_willis> i think also works.. unzip was one of the FEW programs ive seen that use wildcards that way. (or it used to)
[04:57] <snoops> cool feryana
[04:57] <rausb0> Dr_willis: it does. however, this is very un-unixish
[04:57] <xopher> thanks
[04:57] <feryana> take it for your notes if someone ask in the future :)
[04:57] <CarinArr> hey, is anyone else having problems with azureus being EXTREMELY slow? i haven't really used it before so i'm not sure if it's normal
[04:58] <Dr_willis> rausb0,  yea.. it suprised me also. :P
[04:58] <feryana> this gonna save me tones of ink :D
[04:58] <CarinArr> and i'm not talking download speeds.. it's been checking a file tht was part downloaded for over an hour
[04:58] <aoupi> CarinArr: it uses lots of RAM, if you don't have lots of ram it'll be very slow
[04:58] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: hrmmm....tricky...what do i need?
[04:58] <CarinArr> i have a gig..
[04:58] <josh__> whats up guys (and girls)? i need to fix my fstab and my mounts so that people other then root can read/write/execute stuff on a disk i use for backups
[04:59] <josh__> it is owned by root and devplug is the group
[04:59] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  well im not sure.. I isntalled a bunch of players/xine/mplayer/vlc/plugins and w32codecs on edgy.. then noticed the site worked. :) on my old dapper install i never did get it working
[04:59] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell josh__, about windowsdrives don't be misled by the fact that this focuses on Windows partition - it should contain the information you need
[04:59] <LjL> whops

[05:00] <samu2> What commands can you use to format a disk?
[05:00] <rausb0> Dr_willis: zip/unzip are not exactly unix tools. they were developed as a GPL'd alternative to pkzip/pkunzip under ms-dos.
[05:00] <LjL> samu2: man mkfs
[05:00] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: well, i do have w32codecs and totem-xine with libxine-extracodecs but so far nothing is working
[05:00] <samu2> LjL ok, i'll check it out, thanks
[05:00] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  im not even sure what the site plays with onmy system - let me see
[05:02] <livingdaylight> Dr_willis: one of them is not liking my version of flash. but i haven't got my head round upgrading to flash9beta and using the ole regular flash7 is it?

[05:03] <soundray> [ANF] MasterNinja: wish you better luck with Suse then ;)

[05:04] <[ANF] MasterNinja> thx i really gave Ubuntu ago but its not for me
[05:04] <kevb> angelo: What is that, is that where it asks if I want to accept connection?

[05:05] <angelo> kevb, i understand..
[05:05] <[ANF] MasterNinja> thx for your support everybody
[05:05] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: That didn't work. Still same error.
[05:05] <Dr_willis> livingdaylight,  using...  Totem Mozilla Plugin 2.16.2  Movie Player using xine-lib version 1.1.2
[05:05] <LjL> mcayland, have you installed a third-party version of firefox?
[05:05] <soundray> mcayland: did you run 'sudo apt-get update' before that?
[05:05] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: too bad. Did you look at the messages up to that error?
[05:05] <ACSpike[Work] > is there anywhere I can find a current status of network-manager with wpa as it relates to edgy?
[05:06] <ACSpike[Work] > I see a lot of mixed messages. half say it works out of the box, half say no. most refer to older releases.
[05:06] <jmeunier> question from a newbie:  I am trying to install on a p4 with 256mb memory.  It is freezing after selecting the language. also noticed that it is not using disk swap when running from CD
[05:06] <LjL> mcayland, actually, i believe you have enabled Universe but not in the edgy-updates and edgy-security repositories, so the versions now mismatch
[05:06] <LjL> mcayland: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:06] <manchicken_> Anybody?  Vmware on x86-64?
[05:06] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: The message directly before it is the one that says "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." Then it gives the error.
[05:07] <mcayland> LjL: lol everybody loves netiquette. ok will check my /etc/apt/sources.list...
[05:07] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: are you back on the live CD right now?
[05:07] <Joe_SWAU> Yes.
[05:08] <angelo> kevb, however there is a debdiff in that bug.. if you know how to use that
[05:08] <mcayland> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29745/

[05:12] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: now try a 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.15*deb'
[05:12] <manchicken_> I'm having some serious trouble with 32-bit apps in this 64-bit environment.  Can anybody help?  vmware won't even install right now.
[05:12] <LjL> mcayland, here. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29747/  <-- remember that when you enable universe and/or multiverse, you should *always* also enable them in the -updates and -security repositories
[05:12] <optimusprime> anyone?
[05:12] <LjL> mcayland: now type "sudo apt-get update" after changing your sources.list
[05:12] <atarinox> can somebody recommend a firefox alternative for xfce?
[05:13] <atarinox> something fast
[05:13] <atarinox> preferably
[05:13] <Lo_Pan> elinks
[05:13] <protocol1> is there a way I can bypass my password on bootup?
[05:13] <LjL> atarinox: links2
[05:13] <soundray> !links | atarinox
[05:13] <ubotu> links: Character mode WWW browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99+1.00pre12-1 (edgy), package size 375 kB, installed size 936 kB
[05:13] <optimusprime> swiftfox?
[05:13] <LjL> soundray, links2 is graphical though ;P
[05:13] <soundray> LjL: wow! ;)
[05:13] <rausb0> atarinox: i prefer w3m as console www browser
[05:14] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: it says "Unable to lookup ubuntu via gethostbyname()."
[05:14] <aragorn_elessar> hi at all!
[05:14] <LjL> soundray: no, seriously. it's a good browser for X if you want to actually use a graphical and very fast browser. try "links2 -g" -- without the "-g" option it's mostly just like elinks
[05:14] <xopher> allirght, another quick one, how do I make files extract to the folder the archive is, crushing directory structure inside the archive?
[05:14] <soundray> LjL: will have a go
[05:14] <goose> protocol1: check system>administration>login window
[05:14] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: should that have been .deb or *deb?
[05:15] <rausb0> LjL: dillo is also fast, but missing some features
[05:15] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: sorry, I'm out of ideas. *deb was correct
[05:15] <Ych> whats a good code editor, with colors and the like, but not in console, since i like to use my mouse?
[05:15] <jmeunier> OK quick question, how can you set up virtual memory or disk swap?
[05:15] <LjL> soundray: and additionally it *should* also work graphically using svgalib or the framebuffer or DirectFB, although here by default it doesn't really
[05:15] <feg> jmeunier, mkswap
[05:15] <atarinox> What about Epiphany? how would that work for xfce?
[05:15] <NigelS> Ych: I quite like kate
[05:15] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Hehe, ok. Thanks.
[05:15] <atarinox> should I stick to gtk?
[05:15] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: have you tried recovery mode?
[05:15] <LjL> rausb0: links2 is not exactly full featured either. yeah, i guess dillo is another decent choice
[05:16] <psychic> Is there a point-and-click way of getting an Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem working in Edgy?  I know there isn't in Dapper, but I'm not sure about this new version.
[05:16] <aragorn_elessar> there is a way to avoid that the partitions of windows appear on the desktop?
[05:16] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: strike that out, it won't work.
[05:16] <goose> hey guys  I have a problem after my upgrade to edgy. the software updates program no longer shows the 'show updates'  window
[05:16] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: It gave me an error when I tried it. Hehe, ok.
[05:16] <jmeunier> feg: thx
[05:16] <feg> aragorn_elessar, remove them fron /etc/fstab
[05:16] <LjL> atarinox, well, epiphany still uses the Firefox rendering engine
[05:16] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: have you got an older kernel in the grub menu?
[05:16] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: I don't know.
[05:16] <feg> aragorn_elessar, or better...comment them
[05:17] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: hold on...
[05:17] <aragorn_elessar> feg: hi! But in this way ubuntu doesn't mount them at all...
[05:17] <LjL> atarinox, i'd try, in order of preference, dillo / links2 -g / epiphany, i think
[05:17] <atarinox> ah. well i'm having trouble getting this firefox flash plugin to work...keeps crashing on me...so i'm hoping switching browsers might solve it
[05:17] <feg> aragorn_elessar, yup! if you want them available but not visible on the desktop, maybe there a gconf entry to do that
[05:18] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: From this point I would be able to back up documents and the like though. Correct? Since the drive is mounted. I would be able to go in and back up document 'n the like to a usb drive, or floppy drivers or what ever.
[05:18] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: yes, you do. In the grub menu, select the third option. If that works, try the dpkg -i command I gave you earlier
[05:18] <Joe_SWAU> From the Live CD menu?
[05:18] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: yes, you can do that.
[05:18] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: no, from the HD boot grub menu
[05:18] <psychic> Will Feisty have better support for USB modems?
[05:19] <LjL> atarinox: then the kind of things we've suggested are probably not a good solution for your problem (but then i feel you misstated your problem a little)
[05:19] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: I don't get a boot menu.
[05:19] <mcayland> LjL: sorry about the delay, paste server was down :(
[05:19] <mcayland> LjL: Yup looks like it's working. Thanks very much!
[05:19] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: It just boots. As far as I can tell.
[05:19] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: watch the boot messages, there should be something like "Press ESC for grub menu"
[05:20] <mirak> is there graphicall differences between ubuntu and debian or are all gui tools common to both distributions ?
[05:20] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Ahh.., ok. So the third selection.
[05:20] <atarinox> yeah. well everything seems in order, i'm using the flash 9.0 beta plugin, and the about:plugins agrees...dont know waht the problem is
[05:20] <pianoboy3333> Anyone also think that lockinb packages doesn't work with synaptic in edgy?
[05:20] <pianoboy3333> *locking
[05:20] <LookTJ> might go back to windows
[05:21] <aragorn_elessar> feg: now I search , thanks for the answer!
[05:21] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: the reinstall command for the kernel then is 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.15-27-386*deb'

[05:24] <Ayabara_> someone helped me find a patch to the kernel in dapper that doesn't seem to be in edgy. I use a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop with media keys on the front. when I plug in headphones I want the media keys to control headphone volume instead of speaker volume. this doesn't work in edgy.
[05:24] <Ayabara_> puhh. that was a bad explanation. anyone understand?
[05:24] <LjL> !browsers | soundray, i've changed the factoid to make it a bit more comprehensive
[05:24] <ubotu> soundray, i've changed the factoid to make it a bit more comprehensive: Browsers available for Linux: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), Opera (Qt, proprietary)  -  HTTP servers: apache2
[05:24] <xopher> How could I add the file-extensions r00-r99 to this script, the clean way..? http://pastie.caboo.se/20653
[05:24] <quintin> How do I make firefox not so slow?
[05:25] <soundray> LjL: cool
[05:25] <ACETACE> quick question... for hardcore grep users.... what should be a pattern string that matches any ip address for grep?
[05:25] <Nickle0de0n> engie: I'd need to do more i presume- splitting it so that i can write it to 700MB cds.
[05:25] <Nickle0de0n> the source file is in avi- i think mpeg4
[05:25] <abze> how can i install opera 9.03 when apt-get tels me i have the newest, and i have 9.00 installed?
[05:26] <soundray> xopher: *.r[0-9] [0-9]
[05:26] <jpjacobs> hi! i've made a .deb myself, how can i have dpkg add some dir to the users $PATH when installing the package?
[05:26] <ACETACE> abze, i think you have to wait for the latest opera to be added in the pool?
[05:26] <abze> ok thanx ace
[05:26] <pianoboy3333> jpjacobs: you don't
[05:26] <HeathenDan> abze, 9.03 isn't out yet. and there is always lag between release and availability in repositories
[05:26] <abze> ok, thought so
[05:26] <pianoboy3333> jpjacobs: you declare how the deb installs when compiling the deb
[05:26] <ryjax> hello all
[05:27] <xopher> soundray, *bows*
[05:27] <soundray> jpjacobs: that's not recommended. Make your package install executables to standard paths
[05:27] <ACETACE> quick question... for hardcore regEX users.... what should be a pattern string that matches any ip address for grep?
[05:27] <abze> maybe i can find it out there in another formate then ;) like some tarball thingy?
[05:27] <HeathenDan> if you can't wait, opera always has .deb files for you... cause even their repositories can take days before updating
[05:28] <asbo> a question regarding the install on edgy
[05:28] <abze> ill use google and see what i find, hope its not to hard to install
[05:28] <asbo> can i killall this dosfsck as its been running for 1 and a half hours
[05:28] <pianoboy3333> Does anyone know where I can pick up debs for gaim 2.0.0 beta 4?
[05:28] <asbo> and will it fuck my install if i do
[05:28] <asbo> ?
[05:28] <jpjacobs> ok thx.
[05:28] <samu2> So you can basically do mkfs /dev/hdb and it will format that hard drive and just make it one big partition?
[05:28] <LjL> !language | asbo

[05:29] <asbo> ups sorry
[05:29] <TooTallJones> #uti
[05:29] <asbo> :)
[05:29] <asbo> a little frustrated sorry
[05:29] <HeathenDan> does the installer run dosfsck? i didn't notice if it did
[05:29] <quintin> yea, somehow I doubt there are any little kids in here
[05:29] <quintin> 'family-friendly'
[05:29] <quintin> what a joke.
[05:29] <josh__> it is owned by root and devplug is the group... chmod 777 and chown josh
[05:29] <Skid> someone's son may be reading the channel
[05:29] <josh__> dont work either
[05:29] <dcraven> quintin, some of us are easily offended.
[05:29] <quintin> Skid: yea, I doubt that.

[05:30] <LjL> ACETACE: "\([[:digit:] ] \{1,3\}\.\)\{3\}[[:digit:] ] \{1,3\}"
[05:30] <soundray> asbo: there you have your anti-social behaviour order... your install should be okay, but the dosfs may or may not work after killing dosfsck
[05:30] <dcraven> quintin, or the rest of you could obey the rules ;)
[05:30] <quintin> dcraven: or you could eat me! :P
[05:30] <dcraven> Nice.
[05:30] <asbo> soundray: i cannot ruin the dosfs
[05:30] <Agrajag> Some people have thin skin and ears that bleed at the mention of any four-letter word. But, they're just as welcome as everyone else here, and they need to feel welcome.
[05:30] <asbo> major important
[05:30] <josh__> quintin: or you can just stop being a douche
[05:30] <LjL> ACETACE: it will also match some things that aren't IP addresses though, such as 456.234.393.4

[05:31] <LjL> !offtopic
[05:31] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[05:31] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: hooray. Did you do the dpkg step, too?
[05:31] <quintin> josh__: I'm not trying to get anyone to change.  I'm just saying I think it is stupid and pointless.
[05:32] <Drac|School> I've just installed the nVidia beta driver on Dapper and X complains that the kernel module is older than the X module. How can I update/replace the kernel module? Where are the two located?
[05:32] <LjL> quintin: you're entitled to that opinion -- in #ubuntu-offtopic ;-)
[05:32] <asbo> 40 gig fat partition should not take 100 minutes + to check SHOULD IT?
[05:32] <josh__> anyway, what is the mount command to allow all users access to a disk that sotres backups?
[05:32] <surfhai> josh__, umask=000
[05:32] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Yes. It wouldn't let me use the Update Manager otherwise.
[05:33] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: okay, and did you reboot back into the -27 kernel then?
[05:33] <xopher> soundray, what would be the most efficient way of learning all that? Like how to replace, how to search for a specific pattern in a file etc
[05:33] <ACETACE> thanks LjL i will give it a try
[05:33] <feryana> I copied 45 DvD's yesterday with Linux Ubuntu and I placed it as "for free" in the entrance of my IT store :D Some customers took cd's :P (all explained inside the case "how to use the live CD" :D
[05:33] <skmidry> I have an ADSL connection, my resolv.conf entries disappear after 1 hour of connection being established - I'm using Dapper
[05:33] <quintin> asbo: no.
[05:33] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Ummm.., no. It did say it set it up, and everything.
[05:33] <ACETACE> LjL, thanks i'll give it a try
[05:33] <abze> its not able to download opera for edgy, can i download the tar.gz then, and install from there?
[05:33] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell abze about opera
[05:33] <fusspils> I've just installed Ubuntu 6.10, is there any easy way to get dual monitors running on a geforce 7300GT?
[05:33] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: I can reboot to check it out. I think it is all good now though. :-)
[05:34] <quintin> skmidry: search on ubuntuforums.org for '/etc/resolv.conf'
[05:34] <soundray> xopher: I personally follow a "just-in-time" learning approach as opposed to "just-in-case". Most of what I need, I find in examples on ABS (Advanced Bash Scripting guide)
[05:34] <feryana> is very cool viewing people rejecting windows from their pc's
[05:34] <Drac|School> Can somebody tell me where the kernel nvidia module is located? I need to update it.
[05:34] <quintin> oh my god
[05:34] <quintin> you say 'please' to the bot.
[05:34] <quintin> fdl
[05:34] <Drac|School> Actually, I know where the kernel module is. I need to know where the X module is.
[05:34] <LjL> soundray, xopher: definitely agreed, when we're talking about shell fiddling.
[05:34] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Thanks. :-) Bye. :-)
[05:35] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: I think so, too. If all else fails, you can always boot into -26 again
[05:35] <xopher> Allright, going to have a look at ABS then. Thanks again
[05:35] <LjL> quintin: fdl?
[05:35] <Joe_SWAU> soundray: Hehe, yeah. I think it just powered down during the kernel update. ;-)
[05:35] <quintin> LjL: sudo apt-get install wtf && wtf fdl
[05:36] <soundray> Joe_SWAU: must have done. Very bad luck. You're up for a lucky streak now ;)
[05:36] <errr> is it possible to not boot the install disk into live mode?? I want to install but live mode will not work on my laptop for some reason
[05:36] <soundray> errr: no, you'll have to get the alternate CD
[05:36] <quintin> errr: there is an alternate install disc.  not sure if the regular one has text-only or not
[05:37] <soundray> Cheers guys
[05:37] <quintin> errr: you could also try to configure x then restart it
[05:37] <errr> soundray: what if I have fc5 on it now, is it possible to d/l something minimal and do a net type install?
[05:37] <LjL> quintin, i still don't know what fdl means. if it's an insult, though, perhaps keep it to yourself next time...
[05:37] <erUSUL> Drac|School: uninstall the module with apt and then install it using the up to date nvidia installer
[05:37] <quintin> LjL: I'm telling you how to get a definition for it.
[05:37] <Drac|School> erUSUL: That's what I did...
[05:37] <quintin> LjL: ...

[05:38] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[05:42] <Paddy_EIRE> how do I check to see if direct rendering is enabled under the "ati" driver
[05:42] <quintin> LjL: I don't think they are mounted rw by default in ubuntu with mount command.  not 100% sure
[05:42] <keescook> kevb: what can I help with?
[05:42] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: glxinfo | grep Rendering
[05:42] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: thx
[05:42] <LjL> quintin: could be, in that case it'd be a documentation bug though
[05:42] <quintin> still no one tells me how to make firefox not totally suck
[05:43] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: it just goes on to the next line
[05:43] <erUSUL> Drac|School: i have the same driver instaled here (with a custom kernel though) and see no complaints from X... the nvidia instaler should have replaced both
[05:43] <kevb> keescook: I wasn't sure what the thread was saying. I don't know if it is fixed or not and how to apply said fix.
[05:43] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: glx info | grep ender
[05:43] <keescook> kevb: a fix was discovered, and is making its way through the "stable release" channels now.
[05:43] <Drac|School> erUSUL: X launches without complaints when I first install it, but after reboot it has this problem
[05:43] <optimusprime> I'm trying to update and I can't...."sudo apt-get" doesn't work
[05:43] <kevb> keescook: any way to apply it now?
[05:44] <ACETACE> LjL, YESS it works~~~~~ thanks
[05:44] <eXSiR> may be it is "glxinfo | grep render"
[05:44] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: "glx info | grep render" command not found
[05:44] <keescook> kevb: if you want to recompile it yourself, you can use the attached "debdiff".  have you done package builds before?

[05:44] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: there is no space, you donkey.  enter it like I told you to
[05:44] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: oops!  I put in a space
[05:45] <eXSiR> may be it is "glxinfo | grep render" :))
[05:45] <quintin> heh, I'm off today
[05:45] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: i did it both ways eehh oorrr
[05:45] <kevb> keescook: I tried to do it earlier, I didn't use the diff debdiff I just commented line 309 in vino_prefs.c - it didn't work : )
[05:45] <Drac|School> erUSUL: It even compiles the kernel module itself... I don't understand why it doesn't stick.
[05:45] <erUSUL> Drac|School: the only problem i encounterd was that i had to move the config file from $HOME to /etc/X11/ manually
[05:45] <quintin> what eXSiR is saying will work.
[05:45] <optimusprime> how do get a user to be "sudoer"
[05:45] <Drac|School> erUSUL: That might do it.
[05:46] <keescook> kevb: the reason is that there are patches to that area already, so the build probably failed.
[05:46] <law_> optimusprime:  just type sudo ?
[05:46] <quintin> optimusprime: add them to the 'admin' group or whatever.  system > admin > users

[05:46] <kevb> keescook: I applied the current patches, modified the source then built with dpkg-buildpackage, it built the package...
[05:46] <erUSUL> Drac|School: xorg.conf
[05:46] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: so do you have DRI?
[05:46] <optimusprime> yeah I can't....'cause I don't seem'em......
[05:46] <optimusprime> and sudo doesn't seem to work...
[05:46] <kevb> keescook: I've started wondering if I have a different issue altogether and maybe my build worked.
[05:46] <law_> hi i got a problem i configured svn and want to connect with ssh , he connects and asks me for a password , but when i type it in he just asks me again (without error msg)
[05:46] <keescook> kevb: do this:   cd /tmp; apt-get source vino; cd vino-*; patch -p1 < /path/to/debdiff; debuild -uc -us; sudo dpkg -i ../vino*.deb
[05:47] <law_> i tried to use the password db but it dont works
[05:47] <Drac|School> erUSUL: That's nutty. My Xorg.conf is configured to use the nvidia module, and as long as yours was it should have worked. Copying it makes no sense. -.o
[05:47] <optimusprime> I meant that I can't see the system admin thingy....
[05:47] <keescook> kevb: after the install, you'll have to restart your session, and hopefully that'll fix it.
[05:47] <kevb> keescook: Thanks, I'm gonna try that now. Much appreciated :)
[05:47] <erUSUL> Drac|School: for some reason i do not understand the nvidia instaler does not update the xorg.conf (it creates one in your home) and when you reboot the machine bang!!
[05:47] <keescook> kevb: okay, good luck!
[05:47] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: no direct rendering, I already tried the "fglrx" driver and it would only work if I put libGL.so.1.2 in /usr/lib...although then it stopped working again! I seen a similar bug of launchpad
[05:47] <quintin> optimusprime: ehm.. hm?
[05:47] <earthian> optimusprime use 'visudo' command then enter the username down there near root and use the same form as root is entered there..
[05:47] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: Hah! :P
[05:47] <kevb> keescook: ty, gtg but thanks
[05:48] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: I've been trying for some time to get DRI on i810 with no success.  sux, eh
[05:48] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: yeah
[05:48] <erUSUL> Drac|School: mine was configured to my old radeon card and the instaler did not update it properly as i said
[05:48] <TooTallJones> Why is my new Geforce 7600 GS 512MB graphics card only coming up as Nvidia Default card in my xorg.conf on my xubuntu/edgy? =(
[05:48] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: which video card?
[05:48] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: radeon 9250
[05:49] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: mm.  I think nvidia are easiest to setup for dri.  I do not do this sort of thing much though
[05:49] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: I wish ati would take their finger out their a*s and sort this out
[05:49] <Drac|School> erUSUL: Ah. I never told it to update my Xorg.conf. I figured changing the driver to "nvidia" manually was enough. I just reinstalled and let it do its thing. I'll reboot now.
[05:49] <optimusprime> is it normal for a user not to see the "admin" stuff?....like GDM....Users and Groups
[05:50] <quintin> Paddy_EIRE: it would be nice.  only thing you can do is write a letter or talk with your $$$ and buy intel or nvidia :(
[05:50] <eXSiR> optimusprime: are you a super user?
[05:50] <Mr_Pan> i've a problem with upgrade to ubuntu 6.10 edgy. apt return me an error processing xfonts-intl.european_1.2.1-6    Any hints?
[05:50] <optimusprime> no
[05:50] <eXSiR> i think  u cant see
[05:50] <dearboy> what file is for set  java_home
[05:50] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: can you recommend a cheap NVidia card
[05:50] <eXSiR> you can use "su" insted of "sudo"
[05:51] <LjL> !sudo
[05:51] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:51] <eXSiR> than make yourself a super user with root
[05:51] <Paddy_EIRE> quintin: one with around 128
[05:51] <LjL> or even not
[05:51] <SpeEn> Evening. Having some problems with edgy. Installed using the alternate cd. But when loading, x wont start. Any known problems with ATI 9800 Pro?

[05:52] <fusspils> I've just installed Ubuntu 6.10, is there any easy way to get dual monitors running on a geforce 7300GT?

[05:54] <sheriff> is there anyone using utorrent as a torrent application?
[05:54] <ey> hello are linux and unix command the same????
[05:54] <ey> couse i am learning about unix command
[05:54] <ey> s
[05:55] <Human_Prototype> ey, no, but they can be very similar
[05:55] <LjL> ey: mostly, yes. Linux is a POSIX compatible system.
[05:55] <Human_Prototype> ey, commands are the same
[05:55] <Drac\School> erUSUL: Hey. It didn't work. Same error still. nVidia compiles the kernel module, though, like always. Where is your module located? Mine might be in the wrong place.
[05:55] <leafw> any clues on how to list the hardware specs in gnome or in a terminal?
[05:56] <lagshot> hello ubuntu users :)
[05:56] <ey> hello lagshot can we help you?
[05:56] <leafw> like, whether this machine has 2 processors or one (can't shut it off to find out and dmesg didn't help)
[05:56] <Admiral_Chicago> leafw: when did you get your computer?
[05:56] <LjL> leafw: perhaps "cat /etc/cpuinfo"
[05:57] <LjL> leafw: perhaps "cat /proc/cpuinfo" i meant
[05:57] <eXSiR> leafw try adnministration tool "Dive Manager"
[05:57] <leafw> lshw seems useful ..
[05:57] <eXSiR> at gnome menu
[05:57] <eXSiR> device*
[05:57] <leafw> Admiral_Chicago : I got access to it just now.
[05:57] <Drac\School> erUSUL: Where is your nvidia kernel module located?
[05:57] <leafw> eXSiR : thanks
[05:57] <Admiral_Chicago> leafw: i mean how old is it, do you know?
[05:58] <kevb> keescook: thanks so much man, it works! you are a legend
[05:58] <lagshot> ey: that would be dandy, thanks for asking. I'm using the latest xubuntu live disk, and i'm curious if theres a way to specify using reiserfs for my / instead of ext3?
[05:58] <leafw> Admiral_Chicago : about 5 year old powermac
[05:58] <Admiral_Chicago> leafw: it's probably PPC not 64bit
[05:58] <keescook> kevb: great!  Good to hear!  :)
[05:58] <leafw> LjL : thanks, the /proc/cpuinfo list it all
[05:58] <leafw> yes, not a 64 for sure, but could be dual 500MHz
[05:58] <Wilmer> are there dapper install images with a newer linux kernel available or shall i try to make one myself? :-/
[05:58] <leafw> actually, /proc/cpuinfo says "0" processor
[05:59] <ey> lagshot so you are about to install xubuntu?
[05:59] <lagshot> I've tried mkreiserfs and then installing but during the gui install the option to uncheck "reformat" is greyed
[05:59] <Admiral_Chicago> leafw: i'm not a gnome person, so I'm not sure
[05:59] <lagshot> ey: correct
[05:59] <eXSiR> leafw: so you have 1 processor
[06:00] <leafw> the System Preferences Device Manager should list i all, it does.
[06:00] <eXSiR> i have 2 and command says 0 and 1 processor
[06:00] <leafw> eXSiR : hum, strange way of counting
[06:00] <eXSiR> not my fault :P
[06:00] <ey> lagshot i dont really know .i just burned the iso on cd :S
[06:00] <leafw> I opened the side door and the heat sink is huge on the horizontal, I was hoping there'd be two
[06:00] <Drac\School> erUSUL: *poke*
[06:00] <lagshot> ey: alright, well thanks anyhow
[06:00] <leafw> eXSiR : definitely not, thanks for the tip
[06:01] <ey> lagshot :P i am new to linux
[06:02] <kkrusty> hi, can anyone tell me which ones better from a Laptop user's prespective; ubuntu LTS or ubuntu edgy
[06:03] <B-Minus> heh
[06:03] <eXSiR> if you want stability dapper is perfect or if you want new programmes edgy is perfect
[06:03] <goldsmurf>  /home is going to be separate.  how much space will be "enough" for / ?  Like maybe a high estimate and a mid estimate?
[06:03] <eXSiR> it is up to you kkrusty
[06:03] <MeTa> what apt-index-watcher does? is it improtant for antoebook? i want to turn that of
[06:03] <thee3> how can stop a drive from auto mounting at boot?
[06:03] <erUSUL> Drac\School: it shoulb be under /lib/modules/2.6.xx/
[06:04] <lagshot> thee3: edit fstab
[06:04] <eXSiR> thee3: edit your /etc/fstab file not to mount at boot
[06:04] <erUSUL> Drac\School: find /lib/modules/ -name 'nvidia*' -print
[06:04] <Terminus> goldsmurf: doing fine with 2GB here for /. 512 would probably work if you put /tmp in a different partition.
[06:04] <thee3> lagshot , eXSiR: yep I figured that out but exactly what do i change in it?
[06:05] <lagshot> one sec,
[06:05] <eXSiR> look at the driver not to mount and mark the beginning wiht #
[06:05] <xroach> why cant edgy just boot on my laptop,
[06:05] <eXSiR> so it wont mount next boot
[06:05] <xroach> i've donloaded and burned too many cd's and it just wont work
[06:05] <lagshot> strange, the fstab looks a little different than in gentoo
[06:06] <eXSiR> #/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[06:06] <eXSiR> like this
[06:06] <lagshot> I would add a noauto to the line
[06:06] <IcemanV9> annoying problem - rhythmbox always freezed when i played S K Y . F M radio station. is it bug or there is a workaround?!
[06:07] <Admiral_Chicago> lagshot: Edgy made changes to the Fstab, you may or may not be seeing them
[06:07] <Admiral_Chicago> IcemanV9: you check LP?
[06:07] <IcemanV9> Admiral_Chicago: no. will do now.
[06:08] <poningru> lagshot: for fstab you can also do according to uuid of the partition
[06:08] <poningru> its a lot better
[06:08] <poningru> for things like moving the hard drive out of and into other boxen
[06:08] <thee3> lagshot, eXSiR : thank you.

[06:25] <attilio> LjL, thanks in advance
[06:25] <samu2> I posted a description of my problem on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1697896#post1697896 the answer i got tells me to use the live desktop CD and use gparted. But one of the problems was that the live CD doesn't work for me. Can't I just open a terminal in rescue mode and format it with some command?
[06:25] <thee3> sheriff: in utorrent window. options->preferences->enable Upnp mapping ?
[06:25] <sheriff> yes
[06:26] <sheriff> thee3: it is enable
[06:26] <j0n> Admiral_Chicago: I just installed it, but noticed it has an old version of automake (1.4-p6).. as it happens the first thing I tried to compile requires a newer version.. I'm getting the source now to compile it myself... but I just though someone should know.
[06:26] <LjL> attilio: try changing your resolv.conf so that it reads "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>", and then try again the "sudo apt-get update"  (by the way, perhaps you'll want to change your mirrors from "de.archive.ubuntu.com" to "it.archive.ubuntu.com", since you appear to be on an italian ISP)
[06:26] <Admiral_Chicago> j0n: might want to check the repos
[06:26] <sheriff> thee3: also in wine i selected windows xp as an application
[06:26] <Kronoz> wow 1033, more the #gentoo :o
[06:27] <sheriff> thee3: it worked for the first time i tried it
[06:27] <attilio> LjL, ok I'll try
[06:27] <sheriff> thee3: but when i rebooted the system i started not working
[06:28] <LjL> attilio: just try the resolv.conf thing for now, switching mirrors can wait
[06:29] <j0n> Admiral_Chicago: OK.. I've just installed 1.9 from source, but I'll have a look anyways.
[06:29] <Admiral_Chicago> j0n: it's best to install stuff only in the repos, less of a chance of system breakage / unmet dependencies
[06:30] <LjL> 'specially when it's firefox and you're installing your own compile into /usr/bin
[06:31] <attilio> LjL, nothing it does'nt work :( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29757/
[06:31] <dom_f> Hi - Following an upgrade to Edgy I have a problem with the root partition not showing up in either df or mount though it is mounted - I have put further details in launchpad as support#2293.  Does anybody have the knowledge and some time to help me troubleshoot this?
[06:31] <j0n> Admiral_Chicago: I'ts a fresh (sacrifical) machine... so its not a problem for me to play
[06:31] <attilio> LjL, I've already imported gpg keys

[06:31] <Admiral_Chicago> ah i love those machines
[06:31] <attilio> LjL, I don't know why it tries to connect to localhost
[06:32] <brenlae> hi, i'm curious as to how to setup a usb joystick (Logitech, just a normal gamepad)
[06:32] <LjL> attilio, i'm unsure why it tries to connect to localhost, and on port 4001 (should be 80 i think) - are you behind a web proxy? does "echo $HTTP_PROXY" say anything?
[06:32] <brenlae> any howto's someone could link me to?
[06:32] <Dimensions> how do uninstall mysql ?
[06:32] <woo> hi
[06:32] <LjL> Dimensions: sudo apt-get remove mysql

[06:34] <j0n> Admiral_Chicago: Thanks for the help
[06:34] <nitalaut> hello guys. i've a little problem - i can't save some of my setting(i'm using 6.10 as desktop) - for example i can create new panel and drag icons there
[06:34] <nitalaut> but afetr logoff and log on it is emty
[06:34] <LjL> attilio: ah, that's it. you have a proxy set -- i wonder why. type   export HTTP_PROXY=""
[06:34] <tapas> http_proxy
[06:35] <tapas> should be lowercase, no?
[06:35] <LjL> attilio: then try again the sudo apt-get update, it should work. but this is only a temporary patch, you need to find out where and why you have a proxy set
[06:35] <rga> how do install PHP, Apache and mysql in Edgy?
[06:35] <attilio> LjL, with sudo before?
[06:35] <tapas> [one of the few env vars which are lowercase]
[06:35] <Yancho> How can I login - the first time - as a root in ubuntu pls ?
[06:35] <nitalaut> Yancho, don't do this )
[06:35] <nitalaut> use sudo
[06:35] <LjL> tapas: you have a point, though he does have it set to localhost:4001 in the uppercase version
[06:35] <LjL> attilio: no
[06:35] <LjL> attilio: try typing "echo $http_proxy" as well
[06:36] <Yancho> thanks nitalaut
[06:36] <tapas> LjL: ah ok, i didn't follow the discussion previously. was a shot in the dark :)
[06:36] <nitalaut> try sudo bash
[06:36] <Yancho> and how can i know what is the ip set on the pc? :)
[06:36] <tapas> LjL: maybe some programs use the uppercase version
[06:36] <nitalaut> and you'll get a root shell
[06:36] <tapas> sudo su
[06:36] <tapas> is good, too :)
[06:36] <LjL> aaagh sudo bash and sudo su
[06:36] <nitalaut> or just su -
[06:36] <nitalaut> ))
[06:36] <Yancho> a cool :) phew .. i though im logged out lol
[06:36] <LjL> please use "sudo -i" for that
[06:36] <gottreu> does #ubuntu+1 not exist right now since eft was jsut released?
[06:36] <tapas> nitalaut: hehe ;)
[06:36] <tapas> su - won't work no ubuntu
[06:36] <attilio> LjL, btw I've tried export HTTP_PROXY="" and then sudo apt-get update, but it does'nt work :((
[06:37] <LjL> gottreu: good guess
[06:37] <samu2> I posted a description of my problem on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1697896#post1697896 Could someone check it out please? The answer i got tells me to use the live desktop CD and use gparted. But one of the problems was that the live CD doesn't work for me. Can't I just open a terminal in rescue mode and format it with some command?
[06:37] <nitalaut> yeah ??
[06:37] <LjL> attilio: same errors?
[06:37] <nitalaut> i didn't knew
[06:37] <mirak> when I do apt-get build-dep mythtv it says depencies can't be resolved
[06:37] <Flamekebab> hmm, is it possible to rip audio from SWF files?
[06:37] <Fastly> what's coming next after edgy?
[06:37] <tapas> which is a clue to the answer to the original question
[06:37] <brenlae> tapas, sudo root passwd
[06:37] <LjL> nitalaut: just "su -" shouldn't even work
[06:37] <LjL> !root | brenlae, tapas
[06:37] <ubotu> brenlae, tapas: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:37] <nitalaut> guys it works
[06:37] <nitalaut> i've just checked )
[06:37] <nitalaut> su -
[06:37] <nitalaut> and my root password
[06:37] <tapas> LjL: man, i know what sudo does :)
[06:37] <attilio> LjL, quite the same, I'll paste it
[06:37] <nitalaut> and i became a root
[06:37] <LjL> nitalaut: that's because you have a root password set. you shouldn't have, on a normal Ubuntu install.
[06:37] <tapas> nitalaut: yes, if you have a root password, but this is ubuntu
[06:37] <tapas> )
[06:38] <alecjw> i've just crashed x; when i try to start it, it says that a security file or something's missing, can anyone help me please?
[06:38] <nitalaut> ah)
[06:38] <mirak> how can I know the build-deps for mythtv or a package ?
[06:38] <nitalaut> yeah i have set it
[06:38] <brenlae> no need to use su anyhow
[06:38] <gottreu> so does eft support 32- and 64-bit packages in parallel?  or was that put off for a later release?
[06:38] <nitalaut> sudo is better certainly
[06:38] <tapas> sudo su is useful to not have to type sudo on ebery command
[06:38] <LjL> tapas: i'm sure, but i was seeing blanket advice to use "su" and set a root password. which shouldn't be given without disclaimers and explanations to alternative possibilities (i.e. using "sudo" like Ubuntu intends people to)
[06:38] <chad> im trying to boot a winxp install in vmware from a Physical Partition ..following this guide: http://news.u32.net/articles/2006/07/18/running-vmware-on-a-physical-partition, the disk is a SATA disk..and there seems to be a problem with the drivers ..  i get as far as the "winxp loading logo" then i get a bluescreen.."remove new hw"
[06:39] <H0110Wman> L
[06:39] <nitalaut> terrible, so many questions what a mess!
[06:39] <LjL> tapas: no, "sudo -i" is useful for that. "sudo su" doesn't make much sense, since you're invoking two essentially similar commands chained, with no need for that
[06:39] <nitalaut> a lot of people use ubuntu ))
[06:39] <tapas> LjL: i didn't tell anyone to set a root password. i was justhinting at ubuntu's "quirk" to not set a root pw.. but minor important
[06:39] <LjL> mirak: apt-get build-dep <package>
[06:39] <Dimensions> how do i install mysql with sudo apt-get install
[06:39] <tapas> LjL: right
[06:39] <nitalaut> Dimensions, sudo apt-get install mysql-server -)
[06:39] <attilio> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29760/
[06:39] <mirak> LjL: what do you have for mythtv ? for it fails, it says it can't resolve deps
[06:39] <LjL> tapas: no, but brenlae did - if you notice, the bot factoid was addressed to both of you
[06:39] <nitalaut> like this i suppose
[06:40] <attilio> LjL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29760/
[06:40] <tapas> LjL: yah, i was just wondering why at me, too :)
[06:40] <tapas> LjL: btw; i like sudo su 's quirkyness :)
[06:40] <rga> how do i install PHP, Apache and mysql in Edgy?
[06:40] <LjL> mirak: because you were suggesting sudo su and similar
[06:40] <mirak> LjL: can you past me the list of deps ?
[06:40] <DiMiTRiS> How do i backup dvds in ubuntu? Does libdvdcss2 bypass all protection on dvds such as bad sectors and invalid structure protection???

[06:40] <nitalaut> rga aptitude install apache 2 php4 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php4
[06:40] <tapas> like with all tools, the default setting of no passwrd makes sense in many situations..
[06:41] <LjL> mirak: do you have the *source* repositories enabled, for Universe and Multiverse as well?
[06:41] <mirak> LjL: thanks
[06:41] <mirak> LjL: I guess, but I am checking
[06:41] <tapas> it can run astray though i.e. if your computer forgets the date and sudo is a bit picky about timestamps
[06:42] <Dimensions> i have reinstalled mysql-server but when i type mysql -u user -p and type my passwd after it ask it ..i get this error ... ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'filter'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

[06:42] <mirak> LjL: I have it
[06:42] <candyban> Hi guys
[06:42] <tapas> Dimensions: mysql has its own user database
[06:42] <clearzen> where does ubuntu store the programs it uses during startup?
[06:42] <rga> nitalaut apache 2 or apache2 no space?
[06:42] <LjL> tapas: see, i'm not arguing for or against sudo, i'm just saying that it's the supported default in Ubuntu, so people should be adviced to use that (and the proper "sudo -i" command to become root for a longer time) instead being told to set a root password. the !sudo factoid is useful, since it links to a page that explains it all, and
[06:42] <nitalaut> rga, apache2
[06:42] <dkr> clearzen: /etc/init.d
[06:42] <tapas> Dimensions: your normal pw won't work.. take a look at some mysql tutorial
[06:42] <candyban> Are there some known problems with the edgy kernel and usb ?
[06:42] <rga> nitalaut thanks
[06:43] <clearzen> dkr: thanks
[06:43] <LjL> tapas: and *also* explains how to enable root, while making it clear that you should know what you're doing if you do that
[06:43] <candyban> My linux box won't boot anymore since it upgraded from dapper to edgy
[06:43] <mirak> LjL: E: Build-dependencies for mythtv could not be satisfied.
[06:43] <LjL> mirak: have you run a sudo apt-get update?
[06:43] <candyban> Are there some kernel options I can provide to skip usb?
[06:43] <Dimensions> tapas i had created my user filter ... and i know its password too .. it also says using password yes ...
[06:44] <LjL> attilio, sorry, i missed your last paste. try also   export $http_proxy=""
[06:44] <LjL> attilio, sorry, i missed your last paste. try also   export http_proxy=""   <-- i meant
[06:44] <mirak> LjL: yes I do that from a root shell
[06:44] <nitalaut> Dimensions, try logging in with user root and emty password
[06:44] <nitalaut> empty
[06:44] <LjL> mirak, *shrugh*, don't know why it says that. you have the binary repositories for universe and multiverse enabled as well, i suppose. i think you could just try running "apt-get install list-of-packages-i-gave-you"
[06:44] <Dimensions> nitalaut:  i can login as root ...
[06:45] <attilio> LjL, thanks it works! Great!!!!
[06:45] <nitalaut> ah
[06:45] <nitalaut> so why don't you use something like GRANT ALL on *.* to etc
[06:45] <Yancho> how can i set up my ip on the server . .. since it is <IP_ADDRESS> and this pc is <IP_ADDRESS> too lol - and i need to download webmin
[06:45] <LjL> attilio: yeah, now you need to find out where your proxy is set. if you're using Gnome, i can't be of much help, since i use KDE, but there should be something under System / Preferences or System / administration -- see if it's set

[06:48] <asbo> go ahead thinkgreen
[06:48] <LjL> mirak: hm, but isn't that because of a conflict, rather than because of the autoremove feature?

[06:53] <attilio> LjL, I'm in Xfce4
[06:54] <TritonX> TC': have you tried Firestarter ?
[06:54] <erikgz> crimsun: ahhh, perhaps that won't fail now that i have those stage1 and stage2 (grub CL works)
[06:54] <LjL> attilio: oh i see, well same thing, browse around in your xfce control panel and see if you have any proxy setting... and do try the console thing anyway
[06:54] <asbo> thinkgreen: can you use dhcp

[06:54] <tigerspirit> Hello, all.  I need direction to a source for help.  I am not a highly educated Ubuntu user, although I am learning.  I have BB (5.x) with all the updates, and am running FF as my browser.  i downloaded and installed FF2, however i seem to have a mishmash installation -- the borwser About shows it as <IP_ADDRESS>.  When I try to install themese for 2.0, i get an error saying that they don't work...
[06:54] <tigerspirit> ...in 1.5.0,.1, but when I try to install earlier themese, the error says they don't work in 2.0.  Ideally, I'd like to run 1.5 and 2 completely spearately, as I am a designer, and want to see the work in as many non-MS browsers as possible.  Any suggestions, or places on the web i can get help?
[06:54] <crimsun> azureal: of course, as are many things that can be found on the forum
[06:54] <thinkgreen> asbo: i disabled the dhcp server on my modem becuase i need to keep the same local ip for port forwarding
[06:54] <Lemino> come on, isn't this channel supposed to support newbies like me?
[06:54] <asbo> thinkgreen: indeed :)
[06:54] <maxb_at_work> crimsun: I don't have any xserver-xorg-video-* packages installed... does that mean bits of my X installation are still using the dapper version, or just that I don't need any of those packages?
[06:55] <thinkgreen> asbo: also, the dhcp server was handing out weird DNS values (one local, one publi)
[06:55] <asbo> thinkgreen: netstat -a
[06:55] <azureal> crimsun, that guide is...
[06:55] <crimsun> maxb_at_work: Edgy doesn't need xserver-xorg-driver-*
[06:55] <erikgz> crimsun: say that i have a boot partition (/dev/hda1), and i want to install grub on the MBR of hda... how do i tell grub-install "root (hd0,0); setup (hd0)" ?
[06:55] <azureal> crimsun, it's a mix of sev. separate things
[06:55] <rc-1>  if i were to do a rinstall is there a way to save a list of packages i have and then make the rinstall redownload them?
[06:55] <azureal> crimsun, and combined it makes the guide dangerous
[06:55] <TritonX> anyone with a laptop with a go420... ?
[06:55] <thinkgreen> asbo: i get a lot of output...

[06:56] <aMicke> Hi, i have some weird problems with my wirless card... The drivers, ipw3945 are installed and i can find networks but when i try to connect to my network i get "connection failed" even if the network is open, not encrypted, I have searched in the foums and on google but haven't been able to find an answear so please help me.
[06:56] <erikgz> so, grub-install /dev/hda1 ?  how does that tell it to do the MBR?
[06:56] <crimsun> drop the 1
[06:56] <TC`> no
[06:56] <thinkgreen> asbo: i've got a lot of connections, should i look for something in particular
[06:56] <erikgz> crimsun: but my boot partition is /dev/hda1, my root is /dev/hda5
[06:57] <TC`> !firestarter
[06:57] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:57] <crimsun> erikgz: the install device is not necessarily a partition.
[06:57] <tritium> rc-1: dpkg --get-selections will create that list for you
[06:57] <asbo> thinkgreen: forget netstat - my bad
[06:57] <asbo> thinkgreen: sudo apt-get install iftop
[06:57] <erikgz> crimsun: it's not obvious to me how grub-install figures out that the grub installation i want the MBR to point to is /dev/hda1
[06:57] <asbo> iftop is a network monitor
[06:58] <asbo> thinkgreen: may help with diags
[06:58] <crimsun> erikgz: then use a grub device (which I implied by the 'or')
[06:58] <rc-1> tritium: ah ok thanks so much :) and then i could probably make a script to sudo apt-get install them somehow, right?
[06:58] <thinkgreen> asbo: installing...

[06:58] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell cpl-tnt44 about wine
[06:58] <asbo> thinkgreen: sudo iftop
[06:58] <erikgz> crimsun: a grub device??  then doesn't grub install into the boot record of that device?  this is very opaque
[06:59] <dnite> my Edgy system is freezing up on random. Mouse still moves, but nothing responds to it. Keyboard seems to do nothing.

[06:59] <aMicke> anyone who could help me with wlan problems?
[06:59] <thinkgreen> asbo: it runs, gives me infor about sit0, my device is eth2

[07:03] <variant> Yancho: but to make it permanent do what LjL says
[07:03] <DaHunger> i didnt understand what he said...
[07:03] <DaHunger> thx
[07:03] <erikgz> crimsun: fyi, the command i was looking for was "update-grub"
[07:03] <thinkgreen> asbo: so you think i should keep it running untill it disconnects?
[07:03] <variant> Yancho: and dont forget the default gateway
[07:03] <earthian> cpl-tnt44 yes wine is needed.
[07:03] <asbo> thinkgreen: may help with verbosity
[07:03] <iturk> hi there in simulink application that runs over matlab everytime that i open a properties windows of some component the characters from this windows are too small to been seen !! how can i change that ??
[07:03] <Yancho> variant in that file which LjL gave me there is no ips :S its just some words lol
[07:03] <snoops> cpl-tnt44 regarding enabling universe.. have you used apt in linux before?
[07:03] <earthian> cpl-tnt44 join #wine-hq for wine related questions
[07:03] <variant> Yancho: read it :)
[07:03] <TC`> firestarter let's me to connect to internet by proxy and let's connect e.x. my laptop to this pc?
[07:03] <LjL> Yancho: that's probably because you have DHCP set, look for a "dhcp" keyword in it
[07:04] <cpl-tnt44> snoops : i have used that command b4 if that what u asking ..
[07:04] <Yancho> yes there is LjL
[07:04] <thinkgreen> asbo: is their anything like a dhcp lease, or some reason my ip address would expire if i'm not running a dhcp server?
[07:04] <earthian> i belive there is no wine in ubuntu/universe repositories
[07:04] <dkr> what's with this new gaim?  I have the buddy list window about 25 characters wide, and yet it abbreviates my contact names down to 2 or 3 letters followed by ellipsis(and 10 spaces on each side)
[07:04] <jokoon> Is this possible to "listen" last.fm music with Rythmbox ?
[07:04] <LjL> Yancho: then if you're using DHCP, you probably don't want to set an IP address manually
[07:04] <Yancho> i want a fixed ip LjL
[07:04] <asbo> thinkgreen: is there a patern to the disconnects?
[07:04] <cpl-tnt44> earthian : what server ?
[07:04] <earthian> or at least i remember using the wine repositorie from wine=hq.org website
[07:04] <LjL> !info wine | earthian

[07:04] <Yancho> since here im just testing the server - i want to put it in a server room
[07:04] <snoops> cpl-tnt44 alright, well you can either edit a file to enabled the universe repository or you can use synaptic package manager to enable it in a gui..
[07:04] <variant> Yancho: you need to make your router assign a range of ip address that are fixed then
[07:05] <thinkgreen> asbo: only that it seems to happen every few hours, had never happened while i was using my computer
[07:05] <asbo> thinkgreen: strange
[07:05] <Yancho> can't i just fix it variant .. the router is hopeless :P
[07:05] <earthian> cpl-tnt44 www.wine-hq.com
[07:05] <cpl-tnt44> snoops : how's it called ? universe ?
[07:05] <earthian> strange wine irc channel is like gone :S
[07:05] <variant> Yancho: were you given an ip address to use by your datacenter support?
[07:05] <thinkgreen> asbo: after it disconnects when i run ifconfig there isn't even an ip feild
[07:05] <Yancho> yes variant .. for now its gonna be a <IP_ADDRESS> then it will be a foreign ip
[07:06] <cpl-tnt44> earthian : yeap thats why i asked ... or moved btw
[07:06] <LjL> cpl-tnt44: yes. universe. the bot gave you links on how to enabled it.
[07:06] <variant> Yancho: a foreign ip?
[07:06] <snoops> why's it called universe? Well, not quite sure, but I just thought it's a place where everything that doesn't already have a category goes.. it's just out there.. contains other bits and pieces
[07:06] <xst> Bug 58721 is a showstopper in edgy for most Matrox graphics card owners. However, its importance hasn't been set even though the bug was reported for ages ago. Can non-maintainers in any way push the importance of this critical bug?

[07:06] <earthian> sorry, cpl-tnt44, www.winehq.com
[07:06] <variant> Yancho: ok
[07:06] <Yancho> so for now i want the <IP_ADDRESS> set up :) it is there with ifconfig - how can i write it in that file :)
[07:07] <alakazamz0r> ok
[07:07] <LjL> snoops: nothing to do with categories actually. "main" is free stuff mantained by the core devs, "universe" is free stuff maintained by the community, "restricted" is non-free by the core devs, "multiverse" is non-free by the community

[07:11] <LjL> earthian, not really
[07:11] <dnite> alakazamz0r, looks fine to me, maybe try and remove the BusID line.. what error are you getting? or is it just not setting the resolution right for u?

[07:12] <grogoreo> what is the difference, when using 'ln', between a symbolic link and a hard link? Does the hard link make a copy of it and then makes the changes when either file is changed?
[07:12] <TC`> ;]

[07:12] <Zaggynl> Tonren, gedit claims it's read only

[07:12] <alakazamz0r> dnite, yes
[07:12] <Tonren> Zaggynl: Did you use gksudo gedit?
[07:12] <psusi> grogoreo: a hard link creates another name for the same file, which must be on the same filesystem, a symbolic link just creates a file name that points to a different file name
