[04:40] <carandraug> PorkSoda: one minute. Let me find the page to get that
[04:40] <NiKeCRu666> uhmn... yes i think
[04:40] <PorkSoda> thanx
[04:40] <NiKeCRu666> alteregoa, yes i think
[04:41] <seij0> It's not just the system drive either
[04:41] <carandraug> LaQuirrELL: I'm guessing that means it worked. Try the same command but with the 766 so see wether it was the numeric code or the recursive option that made a difference
[04:41] <seij0> there's no CDRom
[04:41] <seij0> the only thing is seems to notice is the floppy
[04:41] <digifor> "bash: syslinux: command not found"  what is missing?
[04:41] <alteregoa> thats why i use edcast with foobar2000 on ubuntu,
[04:41] <NiKeCRu666> alteregoa, what???
[04:41] <PorkSoda> seijo sounds like the problem I had a while back
[04:42] <NiKeCRu666> edcast?
[04:42] <NiKeCRu666> can you stream music and voice?
[04:42] <unop> digifor, syslinux is not installed
[04:42] <alteregoa> i only had problems with amarok streaming stuff
[04:42] <carandraug> PorkSoda: I've looked but it seems that there's no free shiping of Xubuntu "Unfortunately, unlike the other Ubuntu derivatives, Xubuntu does not yet have free cds available for shipping due to lack of funding."
[04:42] <alteregoa> i stream only music
[04:42] <Allah> digifor: perhaps you should install syslinux first.
[04:42] <NiKeCRu666> alteregoa, and what about voice? any option?
[04:42] <techsupport> carandraug, yes, everything is very good, now i have to figure out how to share this new 500g drive with my windows computers
[04:42] <espacious> what a hell happened to ndiswrapper i was using TEW424 usb adapter for wireless
[04:42] <espacious> but since i upgraded/renstalled to new version my pc freezes when try to connect
[04:42] <espacious> to my ruter i need to hard reboot,i fonund out 128bit WEP works ok but not WPA. somebody?
[04:43] <carandraug> PorkSoda: you can however buy it from online shops, It's cheap, you pratically pay only the CD
[04:43] <carandraug> !samba > techsupport
[04:43] <Allah> http://packages.ubuntu.org/distver/utils/syslinux
[04:43] <Allah> ^ digifor
[04:43] <digifor> duh!!! I am having a grey hair day. apting now
[04:43] <PorkSoda> carandraug: well I may do that and I'll just let my computer download it
[04:44] <alteregoa> you need bindings to /.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/shouter to /usr/share/apps/amarok/scripts/common/
[04:44] <nytek> anybody know how to get a circle desktop with compiz fusion?
[04:44] <nytek> desktop cube wise
[04:44] <PorkSoda> here's a big question if I wanted to get Xubuntu through Synaptic
[04:45] <carandraug> PorkSoda: you could instead ask the to ship Ubuntu 8.04 and then, one you have it installed, remove Ubuntu and install Xubuntu
[04:46] <digifor> thanks
[04:46] <techsupport> carandraug, i installed samba and swat, and for some reason none of the links work withing swat
[04:46] <LaQuirrELL> carandraug   it was the -R that made the difference
[04:46] <PorkSoda> where can I get xubuntu 8.04
[04:46] <IdleOne> PorkSoda: www.ubuntu.com
[04:47] <Guma> Does any one know if 8.10 Beta comes with latest ATI drivers?
[04:47] <carandraug> LaQuirrELL: ok. well, at least now we know. Or maybe there's a difference between "/media/MUSICSTORE" and "/media/MUSICSTORE/"
[04:47] <IdleOne> PorkSoda: you can also install xubuntu-desktop but I suggest you do a fresh install to a different partition of xubuntu
[04:48] <LaQuirrELL> i tried it with out the -R    and also with-R and both 777 and 766    it only worked if i used the -R
[04:48] <carandraug> PorkSoda: download from here http://www.xubuntu.org/get
[04:49] <carandraug> PorkSoda: maybe it's better if you use torrents to download it. If your connection goes down, you can continue to download it on another day
[04:49] <LaQuirrELL> well thats that     ty again   and yes cud may have been the / at the end    i try it a few different ways   just to see  I'll be back t ask about the anomaly of storage device manager l8r    good nite all
[04:49] <PorkSoda> I did that. thats what on my cdrw
[04:50] <roch> Ubuntu seems to think opera is my main browser when i click links in irc...but my preffered application is irc.  is there anyway to fix that?
[04:50] <roch> wow preffered = firefox*
[04:50] <Pavlz> the laptop advises me that were available updates
[04:50] <coil> niggers
[04:50] <carandraug> roch: System > Preferences > Preferred applications
[04:50] <Pavlz> so i tried to update
[04:50] <roch> yea it says firefox
[04:51] <Pavlz> the updates corrupted nautilis
[04:51] <PorkSoda> Can Synaptic be configured to do a direct 8.04 Xubuntu upgrade?
[04:51] <Pavlz> and something goes wrong
[04:52] <Pavlz> i booted the computer and started only with shell
[04:52] <PorkSoda> brb
[04:52] <ivan> do I need to compile my own kernel in 8.10 if I'm using XFS/LVM? I get lock-ups during disk activity
[04:53] <Pavlz> now from shell i'am trying to recover the work that i did and that i can read now
[04:53] <PorkSoda> anyone know if synaptic be configured to do a direct 8.04 upgrade???
[04:54] <Pavlz> i am using apt-get update to update the kernel
[04:54] <Pavlz> tomorrow i got a conference to University Popolare of Roma
[04:55] <PorkSoda> I thought there would be a way to avoid 322 updates
[04:55] <skylar_> how to get my cd/dvd player to work (only trying to auto mount and play music right now)
[04:56] <Pavlz> and if i can't read anymore my dates mark shuttlework risks that i ask him in judgement
[04:57] <badfish> can i integrate unrar-free into my archive manager?
[04:57] <Peroxyde> Hello. I am having a problem with flash freezing firefox for about 20 seconds while loading on Ubuntu x64.
[04:57] <Pavlz> ubuntu is not a good distribution
[04:57] <Peroxyde> Can somebody give me a hand?
[04:57] <jrib> badfish: use unrar, not unrar-free.  It will be automatically used by archive manager
[04:58] <arquebus> Ive got an empty fat32 partition I want to install ubuntu on. So if I set a manual install to ext3, root, format, will ubuntu automatically put in a swap partition? Should I delete the partition first?
[04:58] <badfish> i didn't think unrar was free
[04:58] <skylar_> System tab ---> Preferences ---> Removable Drives and Media has no multimedia tab
[04:58] <toonless> can someine tell me the command for an irc client to list all channels with more than 100 users please?
[04:58] <jrib> badfish: it's not free in the free software sense.  It doesn't cost anything
[04:58] <Yomic> 7zip can unrar
[04:58] <Yomic> Can't it?
[04:58] <badfish> ok
[04:58] <badfish> thx
[04:59] <genii> Yomic: Yes it can
[04:59] <pw-> Pavlz, linus likes it, that's good enough for me!
[04:59] <IdleOne> Pavlz: do you have a question or just wanted to complain?
[05:00] <IdleOne> Pavlz: not to mention that you cannot sue Canonical or Mark Shuttleworth because it is clearly stated that Ubuntu is distributed without warranty
[05:01] <Peroxyde> Hello. I am having a problem with flash freezing firefox for about 20 seconds while loading on Ubuntu x64. Can I get a hand?
[05:01] <tritium> Pavlz: there were no recent updates to nautilus.  What updates are you referring to?
[05:01] <Yomic> Only problem I have with any distro is lack of (easy) instructions for wireless devices :)
[05:01] <Yomic> I can deal until I feel like fixing it though
[05:01] <tritium> !wireless | Yomic
[05:02] <IdleOne> oh look easy instructions
[05:02] <Yomic> I know;  too much on my plate right now ;P
[05:02] <IdleOne> easy is a relative term
[05:02] <Yomic> And I'm not entirely familiar with everything when using linux
[05:02] <Yomic> This is true
[05:03] <Yomic> I'm too spoiled by WinXP
[05:03] <IdleOne> Yomic: but you can read that and if anything comes up then ask in here and someone will help if they can
[05:03] <skylar_> Yomic lol
[05:03] <badfish> already check the forum?
[05:03] <haywire> Yomic here's an easy manual connection guide..... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188
[05:03] <pan_> cpufreq-selector or powernowd?
[05:04] <Yomic> Biggest problem is that I have no internet connection while on my linux partition
[05:04] <pw-> xp has nothing to spoil you with
[05:04] <pw-> aside from games
[05:04] <pw-> and, well, i'll admit samba is a bit of a finnicky slut
[05:04] <skylar_> I have no multimedia tab in system>preferences>removable drives and media how am I going to play a cd?
[05:05] <skylar_> I like XP's package manager though
[05:05] <tritium> pw-: family-friendly channel, please
[05:05] <skylar_> it is really awesome
[05:05] <pw-> tritium, apologies
[05:05] <Yomic> games, pnp wireless, instant compatability with many things due to..., many apps written for compatability for Windows but not linux
[05:05] <IdleOne> !hardware | Yomic check out this link to see if your card is supported
[05:05] <Yomic> And I know Wine
[05:06] <skylar_> Yomic better things linux only
[05:06] <tritium> pw-: no worries.  Thanks.
[05:06] <Yomic> But I'm a gamer so it benefits me not to waste as much time on Linux
[05:07] <IdleOne> waste time on linux?
[05:07] <Yomic> I still enjoy learning
[05:07] <IdleOne> hahahha no such thing
[05:07] <pan_> how do i see what services i'm using?
[05:07] <tritium> Between the two, I'd say time on gaming, not linux, is time wasted ;)
[05:07] <Yomic> Reprased:  ...not to use as much time with linux
[05:07] <IdleOne> pan_: System>Admin>Services
[05:08] <KRABEN> my pc is Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M-RH - motherboard - micro ATX -K8M800 where i can download driver?..
[05:08] <tritium> KRABEN: for what?
[05:08] <skylar_> Yomic I could probably boot windows and play a freaking cd though hehe
[05:09] <Yomic> I have an XP partition and ubuntu partition
[05:09] <Yomic> Just so I can learn and fool around
[05:10] <pan_> right that tells u what loads in startup in gnome
[05:10] <danbh_intrepid> Yomic: you have no net connection?
[05:10] <pan_> how would i view what is actually running ?
[05:10] <pan_> services
[05:10] <IdleOne> Yomic: bottom line is that Windows is good for people who like windows and granted gaming is better supported on windows. Linux is great for people who don't need the gaming support ( getting better ) and don't want to be brainwashed into believing there is no choice

[05:11] <Yomic> I have wireless that extends to this side of the house;  house designers neglected this side of the house by not installing an ethernet port in this room
[05:11] <Pavlz> now i can't see nothing on the screen, it blinks 3 times then give me as error impossible to start X server (your own graphic interface). Probably is not well configurated. You want to see the output of server X to diagnose  the Yes or No
[05:11] <Pavlz> if i click yes
[05:11] <KRABEN> tritium... for resolution my pc
[05:12] <danbh_intrepid> Yomic: I don't thnk you have to draw a line, and say that windows is for games, and linux is not.  Windows has most of the games, but linux has some games too.  Check out playdeb.net     No sense in limiting your options when you can dual boot.
[05:12] <Yomic> I just have no reason to switch wholley to Linux at the moment
[05:12] <Yomic> But learning it doesn't hurt
[05:13] <pen> Yomic, have you trieed other distro?
[05:13] <Yomic> nope
[05:13] <IdleOne> Yomic: there is no reason to switch over completely. except because you want to
[05:14] <IdleOne> Yomic: that is the whole point of Linux. use it because you can not because some big company says you have to

[05:14] <IdleOne> Pavlz: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[05:14] <GodfatherofEire> 8.04
[05:14] <SpAc> I've just freshly installed Ubuntu on my laptop. It's working great so far. Just setting up my mail in Evolution. Having trouble getting it to work the way I like with IMAP. All my folders currently show up as subfolders of the Inbox. Can I change this?
[05:15] <Pavlz> edubuntu
[05:15] <linny> GodfatherofEire: what exactly dop you need help with ?
[05:15] <chamunks> i've got an issue with my php5 / apache2 i've got a string of things causing an issue where i have no /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
[05:15] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: That is usually caused by the mail-server.
[05:15] <chamunks> Can someone give me some advice on this?
[05:15] <Yomic> If it ever comes to a point that I have to decide between Linux, Mac, or Windows Vista (I don't mind the others as much), I'll want to have knowledge of something that doesn't cost $100 and that I don't care to learn (vista)
[05:15] <GodfatherofEire> The Zen isnt registering under Amarok, and I cant copy files to it from Banshee or any other program except nomad

[05:16] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, yeah. Although the mailserver is pretty standard. I thought others might be in the same situation.
[05:17] <IdleOne> Pavlz: tritium asked earlier of what update you were speaking about. there has not been any updates to nautilus according to tritium
[05:17] <Pavlz> Using config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:17] <jasuus> how do I find which file contains a <string> ?
[05:17] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: Courier IMAP server does that, and the author won't change it (claims everything else is 'broken'). Dovecot works fine as you expect it to
[05:17] <chamunks> can someone give me some assistance with apache2
[05:17] <SpAc> In thunderbird I can set the 'IMAP server directory' to fix the problem. Anything similar in Evolution?
[05:17] <linny> GodfatherofEire: try KZenExplorer it should be in synaptic
[05:17] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, i see!
[05:17] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: I changed my server from Courier to Dovecot because of that, amongst other things
[05:17] <jasuus> as in i have 100 files and i need to find which one contains the function "get_parameters(a,b)"
[05:17] <Pavlz> to update general packages
[05:17] <GodfatherofEire> Tried that
[05:18] <GodfatherofEire> Didnt register it
[05:18] <linny> GodfatherofEire: i see let me look

[05:18] <Pavlz> using config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:18] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, I don't suppose you know, but any plugins or work arounds? (Apart from switching IMAP servers?)
[05:18] <GodfatherofEire> I'm just trying to use Banshee or Amarok cause the ID3 Tags are relatively fine on ther

[05:19] <dean0null> if i could get some help on my hp pavilion d7 1020 i'd be eternally grateful
[05:19] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: I did a lot of trying to work around it, and I'm a techie, but in the end it was easier to move to Dovecot. However, I do seem to recall that Mozilla Thunderbird could handle it somehow
[05:20] <dean0null> my wireless card doesn't work

[05:20] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, yeah. Was using Thunderbird on Windows. It has a setting to specify the root folder

[05:42] <tyoc> Hi there, I have installed anonproxy for test it on my school, I have redirected the proxy of FF to localhost:4001, then after see that it doesnt work like I spected, I have uninstalled it.... but now when I try to use synaptic for install some packages, I get: can't connect tolocalhost:4001 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 refused connection)
[05:43] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: Playing around with the Evolution root namespace value might help
[05:43] <badfish> shockwave flash files are set to "use shockwave flash (in firefox)"
[05:43] <badfish> restarted a couple times
[05:43] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: It would seem logical to set it to "Inbox" :)
[05:43] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: That might confuse courier enough :p
[05:43] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, I've given it a go, but then then only the inbox appears and no other folders
[05:43] <FAJ> IntuitiveNipple:  do you have any thoughts
[05:44] <badfish> i'm gonna try browsing to set shockwave flash files to libflashplayer.so
[05:44] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJ: Yes - I should still be in bed!
[05:44] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, tried a few different combinations... given up :P
[05:44] <FAJ> lol IntuitiveNipple
[05:44] <badfish> still get a big empty space where a video should be
[05:44] <Pavlz> i got the cd of edubuntu how can i choose only
[05:44] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: I know I did too, it was *very* frustrating. I was sniffing the network to watch what was going on and I couldn't find a way to kick courier IMAP into shape, either
[05:44] <dean0null> i think i accidentally closed it....i'm trying to find a wrapped file or a file that will support the wireless card i have on my pavilion d7 1020us
[05:44] <dean0null> this is all new to me
[05:45] <Pavlz> the packages necessary to setup X
[05:45] <dean0null> i just want to watch the presidential debate or download some Hero's and be done with it
[05:45] <tyoc> is like if synaptic was triying to connect to web via anonproxy, but dont know why, also anonproxy is already deleted completely
[05:45] <linny> badfish: about:plugins what does this say
[05:45] <FAJ> IntuitiveNipple:  can you think of anything?  he said that gparted messsed up on him,,,
[05:46] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/4592
[05:46] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJ: I'm staying well away :)
[05:46] <FAJ> why?? :(

[05:47] <badfish> actually i have 2
[05:48] <linny> badfish: you could try upgrading to flash 9
[05:48] <badfish> that's the other one
[05:48] <badfish> i just purged gnash
[05:48] <linny> badfish:  that could be your problem you only need one delete one
[05:48] <badfish> the other one's here, it looks ok http://paste.ubuntu.com/53360/
[05:49] <FAJ> hi my friend used gparted to add to his / partition, unfortunately it did something weird, and now it says that he has 30 g's of used space in his / , which is wrong, because he is not using that much space, and when he checks on df -h it says he is only using 6 gbs of space in / while in sudo fdisk -l it says 30 gbs used.  he wants to use some of that space for / but cannot take it away because gparted says it's all used (not free).  can a
[05:49] <dean0null> i'll be back after i try to take files off my old computer with ethernet cords
[05:49] <badfish> that's it

[05:49] <sprocket> i need to display very large text messages on a screen... can anyone suggest a linux program that would do this? Ie i need a message like "Welcome home Fred" to fill the whole screen.
[05:49] <dean0null> if i did that wouldn't my linux box show up as a drive?
[05:49] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, nice to know we're not the only ones
[05:50] <dean0null> because it doesn't even find it now
[05:50] <ykphuah> sprocket: you can do that using the presenter in openoffice.
[05:50] <ykphuah> sprocket: just like you would do it in powerpoint.
[05:50] <Chainsinthewall>  my built in sound card on my Shuttle AK32V mother does not get along with linux at all. what, if anything, can i do about this
[05:51] <sprocket> ykphuah: yeah but i have a text file that will be changing and need to display the changes.... i don't think presenter can handle that

[05:52] <NiKeCRu666> how do i kill an app that has freezed on wine?
[05:52] <tyoc> some one know where synaptic obtain his "door" to the internet
[05:52] <FAJ> sorry Flannel it's just that no one knows at all, there isn't even any thoughts on what to do
[05:52] <Doonz> anyone here running mdadm with a raid 5 config?
[05:52] <Doonz> im just trying to get the array to rescan the system and rebuild the array with a new drive
[05:53] <Flannel> FAJ: Repeating it every 2 minutes won't jog anyones memory.
[05:53] <FAJ> *sigh* you never know ;)  can you think of anything _anything_
[05:54] <NiKeCRu666> !patience
[05:54] <_haywire_> FAJ yeah start over
[05:54] <dean0null> if i connected a laptop running ubuntu to a windows xp computer by ethernet cable and nothing happens what does that mean?
[05:54] <NiKeCRu666> =)
[05:54] <FAJ> _haywire_:   that's a hard one to do...
[05:54] <dean0null> i should be able to access the hard drive shouldn't i?
[05:55] <FAJ> _haywire_:  can you think of anything other than that to try?
[05:55] <_haywire_> dean0null: possibly missing package /setting or wrong/bad cable
[05:56] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: I've just read an article that reports recreating the IMAP account in Evolution and changing those Namespace options *at account creation time* works/might work (depending on Evolution version) but they, unhelpfully, don't spefiy any Evolution versions, or date of article
[05:56] <dean0null> i've tried two cables...and i've tried connecting it to my router/modem...i can't get this thing online or even recognized by two windows pc's one running vista the other xp
[05:56] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, ok... can I see the URL?
[05:56] <IntuitiveNipple> dean0null: A direct PC to PC connection would require a 'crossover' cable
[05:57] <dean0null> maybe i don't know how to set up the wireless and that's it
[05:57] <linny> dean0null: youll need to setup proper network shares in the windows pcs
[05:57] <_haywire_> FAJ backup and fresh start
[05:57] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: There's not alot to see, but ... http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/faq:favoriteclient:why_don_t_i_see
[05:57] <FAJ> _haywire_:  how can he back upwell?
[05:57] <dean0null> how do i go about that linny?
[05:57] <linny> dont know i dont do windows :)
[05:57] <bjork> hii..im tring to install gegl and i keep getting this error 2geglbuffer.c:(.text+0x1d): undefined reference to `gtk_init'
[05:58] <dean0null> heh lol
[05:58] <bjork> anyone have any ideas?
[05:58] <_haywire_> dean0null: create a user and password in windows for your ubuntu
[05:59] <dean0null> how? and would i be forced to use it to get online?
[06:00] <test> i have one broken package... what should i do?
[06:00] <_haywire_> dean0null you have to create a userid with access credentials on the windows box, plus two smb packages must be installed...
[06:00] <jasuus> ugh gnucash sucks
[06:01] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, no breakthroughs there!
[06:01] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, it was worth a try :)
[06:01] <dean0null> smb packages?
[06:01] <IntuitiveNipple> SpAc: Well, the general consenus is, Evolution developers aren't interested in providing 'proper' namespace support, more interested in the Exchange connector
[06:01] <dean0null> i'm thinking about just waiting for this hobbist I know to wrap the windows drivers on tuesday
[06:02] <dean0null> i just wanted to get some files on here and play around...but it looks like i'll be stuck reading books etc
[06:02] <TeslaTony> Is there any way to throtlle my download speed without using QoS settings on my router?
[06:02] <phuzion> !ubotu restart sound
[06:03] <linny> dean0null: you can mess with windows to setup internet connection shareing then just plugin your laptop
[06:03] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, that's the feeling I get as well from doing some searching
[06:03] <SpAc> IntuitiveNipple, most people who use courier must just put up with it!
[06:03] <dean0null> how do i do that?
[06:04] <dean0null> oh yeah, you don't use windows
[06:04] <linny> dean0null: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126 OMG did just post an m$ link :)
[06:05] <insta> hey guys, anyone built an HTPC before?
[06:05] <telephone> can anyone recommend an app that can convert mov->mp4?
[06:05] <Doonz> Hey ANyone here that can help me with MDADM Raid Array?
[06:05] <dean0null> thanks linny
[06:06] <insta> Doonz: i can
[06:06] <dean0null> i'll check it out tomorrow...too much stress now
[06:06] <dean0null> getting a freakin headache donchakno
[06:06] <Doonz> insta i have a "failed" drive
[06:06] <Doonz> im trying to figure out howto make my array rebuld itself
[06:06] <Chainsinthewall>  my built in sound card on my Shuttle AK32V mother does not get along with linux at all. what, if anything, can i do about this
[06:07] <phuzion> I have no sound, but did earlier, and tried restarting alsa-utils, anyone got any ideas?
[06:07] <dean0null> bye guys have fun!
[06:07] <linny> bye
[06:07] <insta> mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdb
[06:07] <thxpnp> hi everyone!
[06:07] <insta> before that, i'd suggest:
[06:07] <insta> mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --readonly
[06:08] <insta> the --remove will ... remove the bad drive from the array
[06:08] <insta> i guessed /dev/sdb in this example, use your actual drive that failed
[06:08] <Doonz> !pastebin
[06:09] <Doonz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/53363/ <-- thats what  mdadm --detail /dev/md0 gives me
[06:10] <insta> so it looks like it was /dev/sda that failed?
[06:10] <Doonz> appears that way
[06:10] <Doonz> but
[06:10] <PoisonArrow> If I wanted a firewall, what one would I want?
[06:10] <genii> PoisonArrow: A hardware one
[06:11] <insta> Doonz: but?
[06:11] <Doonz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/53365/ <-- this is what Fdisk outputs
[06:11] <vega_> PoisonArrow: all of the software ones are frontends to iptables, it's just a matter of how you want to configure it (gui or text-base config files)
[06:12] <FuriousGeorge> hey all
[06:12] <telephone> can anyone recommend an app that can convert mov->mp4?
[06:12] <insta> so?
[06:12] <insta> are you just showing me that fdisk says the drive is alive?
[06:12] <mobodo> telephone: ffmpeg?
[06:12] <Doonz> and that its their
[06:12] <Doonz> there*
[06:12] <mobodo> telephone: though not any kind of mov
[06:12] <Doonz> should mdadm automatically try readding the drive?
[06:12] <PoisonArrow> vega_, Ok. I have used firestarter before. I just there might be other alternatives to iptables.
[06:12] <insta> mdadm will kick drives out for several reasons
[06:12] <IntuitiveNipple> PoisonArrow: Hardy has 'ufw' (Ubuntu Fire Wall) built in
[06:12] <paulo> hola. hay alguien con quien combersar?
[06:13] <insta> check the drive's smart status
[06:13] <FuriousGeorge> i have a ps/2 usb adapter that works well in other distros, but doesnt work in kubuntu unless its plugged in when i start the computer, or i hit the caps lock key on a separate usb keyboard...
[06:13] <PoisonArrow> vega_, thought there might be*
[06:13] <FuriousGeorge> http://pastebin.ca/1217653
[06:13] <insta> (install smartmontools, run smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda)
[06:13] <PoisonArrow> IntuitiveNipple, Thats the command?
[06:13] <Doonz> ok and if its good?
[06:13] <FuriousGeorge>  http://pastebin.ca/1217653  <---  thats the difference between dmesg on gentoo (works) and kubuntu (requires a reboot) when i plug in the adapter (p/2 -> usb)
[06:13] <vega_> PoisonArrow: yes, "apt-cache search firewall" etc.
[06:13] <insta> if you have a preliminary good, then dig through the smartctl options and kick off an offline test
[06:14] <insta> if it passes the offline test then run:
[06:14] <IntuitiveNipple> PoisonArrow: That's the package
[06:14] <vega_> PoisonArrow: can't recommend any as i don't use a graphical one..
[06:14] <insta> mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sda
[06:14] <xiaopi> Does the Add/Remove... use apt-get or aptitude?
[06:14] <PoisonArrow> IntuitiveNipple, ok ya just enabled it, going to check out the man
[06:14] <genii> xiaopi: dpkg
[06:14] <phuzion> I have no sound, but did earlier, and tried restarting alsa-utils, anyone got any ideas on what might be wrong?  I tried lsof | grep pcm as well and that didn't return anything
[06:15] <Doonz> thanx insta
[06:15] <SebNaitsabes> phuzion: yep sound issues like that are common
[06:15] <xiaopi> just fetch .deb and dpkg them ?
[06:15] <SebNaitsabes> with Hardy heron
[06:15] <Doonz> so theres no way to make mdadm automatically readd drives?
[06:15] <insta> Doonz: don't readd it until you're sure the drive is fine though
[06:15] <Doonz> insta its brand new
[06:15] <insta> no, you don't want it to do that
[06:15] <insta> so?
[06:15] <SebNaitsabes> phuizon: try this  killall pulseaudio then  try anything that makes sound
[06:15] <insta> brand new drives are some of the most likely ones to die
[06:15] <Doonz> i mean i took out the failed one
[06:15] <Doonz> and put that one in
[06:16] <SebNaitsabes> phuzion: killall pulseaudio
[06:16] <insta> ah
[06:16] <insta> ok
[06:16] <Doonz> i have another boc ill scan it on
[06:16] <genii> xiaopi: Synaptic is the usual one
[06:16] <Doonz> boc = box
[06:16] <insta> i thought the drive in there now was the failed one
[06:16] <Doonz> no
[06:16] <insta> if you've already replaced it, then just run the --add line
[06:16] <phuzion> Nope, that didn't do anything either, SebNaitsabes
[06:16] <chamunks> Im having troubles getting php working again on my server can anyone lend a hand?
[06:16] <SebNaitsabes> !sound
[06:17] <xiaopi> genii> okay thx for the answer :)
[06:17] <william_> So I'm reading a tutorial on VNC and it's saying that tightvncserver isnt that great
[06:17] <chamunks> I had to purge all apache2 and php5 packages yet still my php pages dont function.
[06:17] <william_> Any ideas what I should use?
[06:17] <SebNaitsabes> william_:  VNC is not secure unless you tunnel it over SSH
[06:17] <SebNaitsabes> or a vpn
[06:18] <passive> I've screwed gnome when i deleted xorg.conf i can't get it back working
[06:18] <lirit> how can I share files between two ubuntu machines?
[06:18] <SebNaitsabes> passive: are you in Gnome now?
[06:18] <passive> no KDE4
[06:18] <SebNaitsabes> !scp
[06:18] <RickZilla> Another sound question...I just have a Sound Blaster Live card, but I'm not getting any sound
[06:18] <william_> Okay, should I even bother with TightVNCServer? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to configure it..
[06:18] <SebNaitsabes> lirit:  SCP
[06:18] <SebNaitsabes> that's one way to do it
[06:19] <passive> i can't login to Gnome it gives me a white page for any session
[06:19] <SebNaitsabes> !gnome
[06:19] <SebNaitsabes> passive: hummmmmm   so either gnome is buggered up or X is?
[06:19] <passive> I don't know really SebNiatsabes :S
[06:19] <PoisonArrow> Anyone know of any good software in the respitories on which to teach better typing schools?
[06:20] <SebNaitsabes> PoisionArrow: there are quite a few I can't just tell you the names, but you can search for typing software with Synaptic Package Manager
[06:21] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  I guess deleting the  hidden  .gnome folders in your home folder should take care of it,  but if you can't log in well  you need to do it in the Ubuntu console or from Live CD
[06:21] <malek> xubuntu xfce 8.04.1 is good pc pentium 3, 128mo, 20go
[06:21] <PoisonArrow> SebNaitsabes, thanks
[06:21] <passive> SebNaitsabes i'll give it a shot and come back. Thanks alot!
[06:21] <insta> anyone have suggestions for how i can track why my I/O wait is so high?
[06:22] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  you don't have Kubuntu or antyhing like that installed?
[06:22] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  no other desktop environment or window manager?
[06:22] <passive> Yeah i've installed KDE4 beside Gnome
[06:22] <jamesish> insta: i/o on the hard drive'll be something you can look at with hdparm.
[06:22] <SebNaitsabes> passive: ok well can you log into KDE4
[06:22] <passive> yeah
[06:22] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  ok your issue has nothing to do with X
[06:23] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  you won't need Live CD to fix it, since you can log into KDE4
[06:23] <RickZilla> Sound blaster Live...how do I go about installing a driver for this?
[06:23] <SebNaitsabes> passive: maybe your in KDE4 right now?
[06:23] <passive> Okay just deleting the .gnome folder?
[06:23] <passive> yes I'm
[06:23] <RickZilla> I'm not getting any sound at all
[06:23] <gnuskool> Aloha!
[06:23] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  well  user settings for all programs go in home in hidden .folders so  deleting any folders to do with gnome should probably take care of it
[06:24] <insta> jamesish: i'm pretty sure it's harddrive-related actually, because my system is running on a compact flashcard that's in PIO mode.  however, it happens while streaming a movie over my network ... so ...
[06:24] <insta> i'm trying to see if mplayer is thinking it will outsmart me by caching the movie
[06:24] <passive> 2 folders .gnome, .gnome2_private which one ?
[06:24] <jamesish> insta: you said it was i/o related. Is it that or your network, then? What made you think i/o? Just a guess? guesses are okay, I'm just trying to make sure I understand.
[06:25] <insta> i've only ever seen "wait" be high in top when it was waiting on I/O
[06:25] <jamesish> inar
[06:25] <R_YoYo_R> i love linux
[06:25] <jamesish> insta: read man top.
[06:25] <RickZilla> Sound blaster Live...how do I go about installing a driver for this?
[06:26] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  yep get rid of them all
[06:26] <insta> aw, that's a pretty official rtfm :(
[06:26] <jamesish> insta: it tells you what all the WAIT and whatnot mean. Either that or man ps.
[06:26] <insta> ok, and it says it's I/O
[06:26] <shadypixie3> :-*
[06:26] <insta> so it's either network latency or disk latency, and i'd like to know how to tell which one
[06:26] <jamesish> insta: I don't tell *everyone*to read man pages. Only people who're sounding like they already have some undersatnding and are interested ;
[06:26] <passive> Okay I'll give it a shot. do u mind telling me how to prepend the username before the text you are typing ?
[06:27] <jamesish> insta: they're dense information, and really awesome.
[06:27] <Doonz> anyway to pull up the motherboard model # through linux?
[06:27] <insta> jamesish: i know, i was just pretty sure of myself with it
[06:27] <jamesish> insta: think of man pages as secret unix knowledge going back forty, fifty years. They're the awesome.
[06:27] <insta> i use man a lot
[06:27] <SebNaitsabes> passive:    just type  name:  message
[06:28] <insta> heh
[06:28] <shadypixie3> rofl
[06:28] <insta> actually, in my terminal right now, 3 of my 4 tabs are manpages
[06:28] <jamesish> insta: okay, you can either benchmark your network or your latency. BUt here's a freebie: if you have solid state storage, and you're streaming a movie over the network, it's almost certainly network.
[06:28] <passive> SebNaitsabes: Many Thanks ( I'll BE BACK the terminator :P)
[06:28] <insta> generally, you'd think so, but solid state != fast in this case :(
[06:28] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  yes try log into Gnome now
[06:28] <insta> solid state in this context just means no moving parts
[06:28] <jamesish> insta: try rsyncing a file with the --progress flag, that'll help.
[06:30] <badfish> is it possible to add to my "places" menu?
[06:31] <badfish> alacarte only lets me work with applications and system
[06:31] <insta> rargh
[06:31] <insta> dd shows me it's network
[06:32] <airtonix> does snmp allow for showing bandwidth usage per client address or is it only bandwidth used at the router point ?
[06:33] <chamunks> libphp5.so anyone know how i can get this file?
[06:33] <insta> and i can't do anything about it either :(
[06:34] <R_YoYo_R> when i get an icon theme from gnome-look.org not all the icons change
[06:34] <certis> hi
[06:34] <insta> because it's ndiswrapper which i need
[06:34] <airtonix> chamunks, did you install php5 as per instructions on the ubuntu wiki?
[06:34] <passive> Gnome didn't work :S
[06:34] <SebNaitsabes> passive: hummmmmm
[06:34] <airtonix> chamunks, if you did, then you can find that file with : locate libphp5.so
[06:35] <SebNaitsabes> passive:  well you could re install it
[06:35] <Chainsinthewall> my built in sound card on my Shuttle AK32V mother does not get along with linux at all. what, if anything, can i do about this
[06:35] <passive> i've deleted all the files in .gnome2, .gnome_private and still gives me that whitepage
[06:35] <SebNaitsabes> !purekde
[06:35] <chamunks> airtonix, ill run that real quick and see what i get back sec.
[06:35] <passive> Hmmmmmm how to ?
[06:35] <R_YoYo_R> with 8.04 what version is KDE?
[06:35] <Wicked> anyone help me with this error? ICE default IO error handler doing an exit()
[06:35] <airtonix> !who | passive
[06:35] <SebNaitsabes> passive: look above
[06:35] <SebNaitsabes> airtonix:  yes I know
[06:36] <airtonix> SebNaitsabes, know what?
[06:36] <passive> airtonix: I'm sorry i'm new to IRC and just found the nick: msg thing
[06:36] <chamunks> airtonix, I just realised that i've got a different problem than that at this point "php-5.2.3.tar.bz2"
[06:36] <airtonix> !tab | passive
[06:36] <SebNaitsabes> airtonix:  nevermind

[06:37] <chamunks> airtonix, sorry old text in my copy "/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[06:37] <Wicked> how can i fix this error....it happens when running a script and messes the script up

[06:38] <airtonix> chamunks, feel free to private message me then
[06:39] <NukkaG> ubuntu is for n00bs and faggots -- true hardcore elitists use slackware or one the BSDs
[06:39] <jamesish> Y'know -- I use FreeBSD. But ubuntu is a fine OS.  FreeBSD is a fine desktop, if you understand it.
[06:41] <R_YoYo_R> here is the thing. ... i have used alot of distros ... freeBSD gentoo LFS ... i have compiled to compiler that compiles the compiler ..... ... ubuntu is great if you have no TIME
[06:41] <jamesish> Ubuntu, oddly enough, I use on one of my two servers. I use it because the ROOT physics framework won't compile on BSD>
[06:41] <R_YoYo_R> face it ubuntu is a great linux os no matter how you look at it
[06:42] <Wicked> lol well for me bsd sucked for a desktop....lacked support for almost all my hardware...even my freaking wired nic was not supported....even in 7
[06:42] <b1> randysaputra
[06:42] <[Slug]> im learning the linux command line and someday maybe I will run a GUI.
[06:42] <savage-> if I'm running tar czvf to tar up a bunch of files and then cancel it in the middle with control-c, that shouldn't somehow affect the actual files that I'm tarring up, right? (ie.e., no harm to those files) ?
[06:42] <R_YoYo_R> ubuntu as a desktop > than BSD imho
[06:42] <GreedyB> So I setup SSH/x11vnc but after I SSH  in I cannot get the vncviewer to connect to the local port
[06:42] <jamesish> We're not flamewaring here,
[06:42] <Wicked> right...ubuntu does what i want it to do....just work
[06:42] <R_YoYo_R> !kde
[06:43] <jamesish> I prefer BSD on the desktop, but who cares?
[06:43] <R_YoYo_R> !kde4
[06:43] <gnuskool> [Slug]: you got no gui?
[06:43] <AussieGuy> hi, if I ssh into a server that has a hardware setup the same as a server I have here, how would I go about using rsync to clone the local server to the remote one?
[06:43] <[Slug]> nope
[06:43] <gnuskool> [Slug]: good idea, i did that for a while and its the best thing i ever did
[06:44] <jamesish> AussieGuy: look at the delete-after flag. I tink that'll help you out./
[06:44] <[Slug]> its kinda like a step back to the 80's but it forces you to get good
[06:45] <Wicked> anyone help me with this error? ICE default IO error handler doing an exit() ive googled all around and do not find a solution. ive tried removing the file and it still has the error
[06:45] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: what do you mean by clone
[06:45] <gnuskool> [Slug]: yeah, you learn the how and why, instead of just clicking stuff
[06:45] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: rsync tends to be a bad way to "clone" live filesystems
[06:46] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: especially if it's the OS of the machine
[06:46] <Seven_Six_Two> I enabled desktop effects in gnome but I didn't know direct rendering was off. It turned the screen totally white and I can't do anything. I can get in to gnome safemode (I am now) but not in to regular gnome
[06:46] <AussieGuy> well, here at home I have ubuntu server custom setup with my apache and web application, along with my dns servers etc.........Im going to rent a VPS server, install the default ubuntu server cd onto it
[06:46] <GreedyB> I'm stuck when trying to use SSH/VNC anyone help me with it?
[06:46] <AussieGuy> then ssh into the remote server and use rsync to clone the local server to the remote one
[06:46] <[Slug]> and believe it or not im running a nslu2 hacked with unslung hehe!
[06:46] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: Ahh, so it might be a bit more trouble, but I would simply duplicate the package listings and then rsync config files
[06:46] <AussieGuy> ive got the kvm stuff all worked out already
[06:47] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: You can use "dpkg --get-selections" to get a package list out of the "from" server
[06:47] <AussieGuy> superq: the local server doesnt have to be running, cos its a virtual machine
[06:47] <jamesish> AussieGuy: It's doable. If you have space, loook into doing a dd of you current drive to an isio
[06:47] <AussieGuy> I could probably extract its files into a folder
[06:48] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: Still, it may not be a good idea depending on the type of VPS they use
[06:48] <jamesish> AussieGuy: Then unpacking the iso via ssh onto the remove.
[06:48] <jamesish> Um, remote.
[06:48] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: They may have modified the installation a bit
[06:48] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: "dpkg --get-selections > package.lst"
[06:48] <pan_> how do i save battery life?
[06:48] <AussieGuy> they actually reccomended rsync over iso, reason being that it would save alot of bandwidth
[06:48] <jamesish> AussieGuy: SuperQ is right, but the best way to find out is to ask them. Just email and ask if it's a default install or what./
[06:48] <pan_> does anyone use powertop?
[06:48] <[Slug]> gnuskool> this little box is kinda nifty, im trying to get it to run ircd-hybrid
[06:49] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: Hrm
[06:49] <AussieGuy> so when I make changes etc I can easily update
[06:49] <Doonz> kinda a dumb question. But is 1 core on a quad core 2.4ghz better than a single celeron at 2.4 ghz?
[06:49] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: I personally think that is a bad idea, but if they recommend it, maybe they have instructions
[06:49] <AussieGuy> they said do a one time install of a secondary os (ubuntu server) then ssh into it, and rsync over my changes
[06:49] <badfish> how do i change my default dvd player to ogle?
[06:49] <SuperQ> Doonz: Not a fair comparison
[06:49] <jamesish> Doonz: can't imagine so, as it doesn't hav eprivileged access to the L2 cache. THough most quad cores increase the amount of L2 cache to compensate, now I think about it.
[06:50] <SuperQ> Doonz: since the core in the celeron has a lot of other changes besides being "just one core"
[06:50] <Doonz> yeah not sure why i didnt think about it
[06:50] <Doonz> :/
[06:51] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: Yea, I don't know enough about the setup to give you specifics
[06:51] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: rsync is fairly easy, the man page is good
[06:52] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: if you give it a destination like user@host:/path/to/dir/ it will automatically try ssh
[06:52] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: and prompt for your login
[06:52] <SuperQ> AussieGuy: I do something like this all the time "rsync -av /dir/on/local/ superq@remotehost:/dir/on/remote/"
[06:53] <GreedyB> I'm having trouble with x11vnc anyone have any ideas why I cant connect with my other computer when using a vncviewer?
[06:53] <Doonz> Intel Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 2.4GHz w/ 2x4MB Cache VS
[06:53] <Doonz> Intel Core™2 Quad Processor Q9300 2.50GHz w/ 6MB Cache
[06:53] <Doonz> wich one is better
[06:53] <SuperQ> Doonz: depends on a lot of stuff
[06:53] <gnuskool> Seven_Six_Two: any progress with the white screen?
[06:54] <SuperQ> Doonz: I would look at hardware review sites for benchmark comparisons
[06:54] <AussieGuy> ill give that a try. thanks anyway
[06:54] <Doonz> super whats a decent one
[06:54] <SuperQ> I dunno.  trustedreviews, tomshardware, there are lots of them
[06:54] <DigitalFiz> if i want certain programs to run when i login where do i put them?
[06:55] <SuperQ> DigitalFiz: System -> Preferences -> Session
[06:55] <SuperQ> DigitalFiz: You can add programs under Startup Programs
[06:55] <DigitalFiz> ok ty

[07:25] <suren> jim_p, i am attempting to compile handbrake gtk, but it gives me the error "No package 'gdk-pixbuf-2.0' found"
[07:25] <[Slug]> and it would be nice to be able to have a linux for non computer geeks
[07:25] <odracir34> i was in the shop and i see that opensuse 10.3 cost 45 euro
[07:25] <jim_p> passive: ubuntu-desktop plus all the packges? sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop
[07:25] <gluonman> Nobody knows anything about my question?

[07:26] <jim_p> gluonman: delete your kopete settings, and remake your account in kopete again
[07:26] <[Slug]> i do know that more and more computer companies are sticking linux on computers they sell to the general public
[07:26] <cypherdelic> odracir34: simple: money!
[07:26] <jim_p> suren: give me a sec to find it
[07:26] <_haywire_> redhat and mandrake charge now too don't they?
[07:26] <suren> jim_p, ok thanks mate
[07:26] <[Slug]> like the eeepc or the mini 9 from dell
[07:27] <gluonman> jim_p, when I sudo aptitude remove kopete and the sudo aptitude install kopete, it just comes back with the exact same account settings. Removing the program and reinstalling it doens't erase my user information.
[07:27] <odracir34> wtf is wrong with the worldbut kinux is free
[07:27] <passive> jim_p: 53.2kB disk space will be freed !!

[07:27] <Bc303> the mini 9 w/ ubuntu configed to the same specs as the mini 9 w/ XP is the same price, its a rip-off
[07:27] <gluonman> jim_p, unless there's some kind of removal code that is more thorough.
[07:27] <Ademan> anyone here successfully setup remote sound over pulse audio?
[07:27] <jim_p> gluonman: sudo apt-get remove kopete --purge AND remove any .kopete folder inside your home dir
[07:27] <cypherdelic> odracir34: again: money! linux does not cost any money, thats why it is basically right ;)
[07:27] <IcemanV9> gluonman: sudo aptitude purge kopete (will remove EVERYthing including config files)
[07:28] <gluonman> jim_p, IcemanV9, thank you.
[07:28] <[Slug]> bc303? what would you want on your mini 9 if you where buying one

[07:38] <Administrator> hello
[07:38] <gluonman> jim_p, I used the purge command and after reinstalling Kopete my account information was still the same and I kept getting the same error.
[07:38] <jim_p> gluonman: did you remove the .kopete folder inside home?
[07:38] <gluonman> jim_p, what else do I need to delete before I can completely remove kopete so that it's fully renewed after reinstallation.
[07:39] <gluonman> ?
[07:39] <gluonman> jim_p, I did not find .kopete inside home, so I assumed it was also deleted if there ever was one.

[07:40] <jim_p> passive: these are the packages ubuntu-desktop installs > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-desktop . either remove them by hand one by one or leave them as they are. gnome is ~200MN
[07:40] <bazhang> fserve, please disable that script
[07:40] <jim_p> MB
[07:40] <jim_p> gluonman: the settings may be stored inside some subfolder e.g. kde. can you ask at kubuntu for sure?
[07:41] <gluonman> jim_p, I'll look into that.
[07:42] <passive> jim_p the problem is i need to install Gnome but it doesn't work so i thought i shoud *reinstall* it
[07:42] <jim_p> passive: what pagkage has the problem?
[07:42] <meustation> I'm having troubles with wicd, therefore can't use wireless anymore. have no idea why, and I can't seem to even uninstall and reinstall it (both through synaptic or using apt-get in terminal)
[07:43] <passive> i don't know when i login to Gnome desktop it shows a white pages and just that!
[07:43] <_haywire_> meustation have you tried manually connecting in the terminal
[07:43] <_haywire_> meustation ----------> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188
[07:43] <jim_p> passive: force it to reinstall then    sudo apt-get install -f gnome
[07:44] <meustation> haywire: I'll have a look into that, and, no, I wouldn't know how to connect using just the terminal
[07:45] <_haywire_> terminal connection = one less thing to go wrong :)
[07:45] <passive> jim_p looks like gnome-desktop-environment has some problems http://pastebin.com/d71db71af

[07:58] <chameleon> can anyone help with my question
[07:58] <IcemanV9> chameleon: you just answered your own question. :) lamp is a good start for "ecomm". you don't need mail server just to email
[07:58] <chameleon> ok waht about sy fo instance the dnbs server i wouldnt imagine to need that  either
[07:58] <Daft_Punk> i am looking for a program that will be the same as "clipboard" in windows. glipper and klipper dont work unless they are RUNNING on panel? :(

I am using the wired interface as of now on the computer with the problem, and I am just trying to get wicd reinstalled, but dpkg complains about "returned an error code (1)" when trying to remove it
[08:00] <IcemanV9> chameleon: nope. you can add them later if need.
[08:01] <dean0null> is anyone familiar with intel corporationUnknown device 4237?
[08:01] <chameleon> cheers icemanV9 thanks for the help

[08:05] <Ohmu> I have a feeling it may be a MBR/grub type issue, but I'm n00b there.
[08:08] <[Solars]> Ohmu grub has to be on the internal hdd (iirc) you can check with the folks in #grub :P
[08:10] <passive> back i couldn't find the xorg.conf file so i ran dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server
[08:10] <passive> and it generated a basic xorg.conf anyways gnome still gives me that white page
[08:12] <IcemanV9> passive: you need to restart the X server to read the new xorg.conf

[08:15] <ubuntu_todd> Any suggestions?
[08:15] <zeeeee> is there a program that can read what i copy to the clipboard? orca is close, but it reads darn near everything. i don't need accessibility, i'd just like to have my computer read what i select/copy (e.g. a news article in my browser).
[08:16] <RawSushi> hmm, it seems I can't run nautilus as root.  wonder why
[08:17] <mib_ej6jow> i have a q; i'm installing ubuntu and for 'Device for boot loader installation:', the default is (hd0) .. will that default to '/dev/sda1'?
[08:17] <passive> IcemanV9, i did restart the xserver and even restarted my pc
[08:18] <Daft_Punk> how can i change the wallpaper of each of my desktops on the compiz cube? i dont know which plugin to use or where to get it :(
[08:18] <ogzy> i have a freeze problem at the boot time, the startup process is freezed when the r8169 is loaded how can i protect that module not loaded at the boot time, i think i should add some parameters to kernel options
[08:20] <thesaint4444> hi guys, how can I add a user to my system so I can set up an email account for them. I want the user name to be in the form 'firstname.secondname' thanks...
[08:21] <gbear14275> ok so how do I change the permissions I have so I can access a different partition?
[08:21] <sia-eXtreme> gbear14275: are you owner?
[08:21] <airtonix> thesaint4444, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto
[08:22] <gbear14275> well I created the partition using gparted
[08:22] <mib_ej6jow> i have a q; i'm installing ubuntu and for 'Device for boot loader installation:', the default is (hd0) .. will that default to '/dev/sda1'?
[08:22] <roland> nicht lachen....
[08:22] <mib_ej6jow> or '/dev/sda'
[08:23] <airtonix> !de | roland
[08:23] <gbear14275> I'm not sure how to set file permissions on partitions... or in general yet... still on the steep side of the learning curve
[08:23] <sia-eXtreme> gbear14275: in terminal typ : "sudo nautilus" and then right click on the partition > permissions and change them
[08:23] <roland> aber welches Paket muss ich installieren um jpgsupport für php5 zu bekommen?
[08:23] <ComradeHaz> teh number is partition
[08:23] <ComradeHaz> device is the sda bit
[08:23] <ComradeHaz> so probably
[08:23] <thesaint4444> airtonix: thanks, I have read that, adduser does not work for a name with a dot in it..
[08:23] <airtonix> !who | ComradeHaz
[08:23] <airtonix> thesaint4444, try escaping the period/full-stop
[08:24] <Daft_Punk> how can i change the wallpaper of each of my desktops on the compiz cube? i dont know which plugin to use or where to get it :(
[08:24] <airtonix> Daft_Punk, not possible
[08:24] <ubuntu_todd> Anybody know how to make me heard in skype. I can hear people's voice.
[08:24] <Daft_Punk> airtonix, ive seen it done, so it has to be
[08:24] <thesaint4444> airtonix: like firstname./secondname ?
[08:24] <sia-eXtreme> Daft_Punk: i don't know how but it would be very great if possible
[08:25] <airtonix> thesaint4444, almost (its just an assumption of mine though so be wary) but : firstname\.lastname
[08:25] <wers> i'm using utorrent on wine. where's the default download folder? i cant find the files i downloaded
[08:25] <thesaint4444> airtonix: ok, thanks, will give it a go....
[08:25] <airtonix> Daft_Punk, easiest way i can think of is to make a wallpaper that is the size of one of your workspaces x how many you have
[08:25] <mib_ej6jow> home/.wine (?)
[08:26] <sia-eXtreme> wers: can't you choose download place when you want to start a download ?
[08:26] <airtonix> Daft_Punk, ie : one workspace is 1024x768, therefore wallpaper would be (1024x4)wide, 768 high
[08:26] <Daft_Punk> airtonix, http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=4279
[08:26] <sia-eXtreme> wers: why you don't use deluge on ubuntu ?
[08:26] <wers> sia-eXtreme, i can but i didnt manage to choose when i downloaded
[08:26] <Daft_Punk> airtonix, according to that link, you can do it but i cant find the plugins
[08:26] <ComradeHaz> uh, how comes thesaint isn't in teh user list and won't 'bash complete'?!
[08:26] <airtonix> wers, use transmission...
[08:26] <wers> sia-eXtreme, yeah. i just want to access the files i jst downloaded
[08:27] <gbear14275> does it create a security vulnerability to give full permissions to "others" on a seperate partition?
[08:27] <wers> airtonix, i use that. i just want to access the files i downloaded using utorrent under wine
[08:27] <gbear14275> could they install something on that permissions that would give them access to the kernel, etc?
[08:27] <gbear14275> partition*
[08:27] <airtonix> wers, download lastest transmission from their website..i just peformed the operation your talking about
[08:27] <mib_ej6jow> i have Quad Q6600 .. do i have x86 or x86_64?
[08:27] <sia-eXtreme> wers: do you try Browse C:\ drive and then search in there ?
[08:28] <Daft_Punk> airtonix, http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~cyberorg/2007/11/07/one-more-cube-right-prism-and-wallpapers/ (this is with nautilus STILL enabled)
[08:28] <sia-eXtreme> "Browse C:\ drive" under wine menu
[08:28] <zeeeee> is there a program that can read what i copy to the clipboard? orca is close, but it reads darn near everything. i don't need accessibility, i'd just like to have my computer read what i select/copy (e.g. a news article in my browser).
[08:29] <airtonix> wers, you have to first specify a folder in the transmission config for where downloads are stored, then you load up transmissionm, then you move the current data for a torrent to that download folder and then..you load the .torrent file and press go/save/download
[08:29] <jim_p> zeeeee: festival?
[08:29] <wers> airtonix, i dont care about transmission. my objective is to access the files i _already_ downloaded with utorrent
[08:30] <airtonix> wers, then ask in #uTorrent
[08:30] <AzMoo> Hey, is there a fix for the Australian timezone changes?
[08:30] <sia-eXtreme> wers: did you search in "Browse C:\ drive"
[08:30] <wers> sia-eXtreme, doing it now
[08:30] <airtonix> wers, transmission is practically a utorrent clone
[08:30] <zeeeee> jim_p, isn't festival just a backend?
[08:31] <zeeeee> jim_p, how exactly do i get festival to monitor clipboard contents?
[08:31] <zeeeee> jim_p, (i do already have it installed)
[08:31] <wers> airtonix, that's what i always use. i'm just trying to play with utorrent in such a way that i would be able to use it in both my windows and ubuntu partition with the same config files
[08:31] <airtonix> wers, and i am telling you that regardless of your torrent client..the currently downloaded data for a torrent is able to be read and continued by any torrent app
[08:31] <wers> airtonix, oh. that's good. thanks
[08:31] <airtonix> wers, and transmission is also available for windows afaik
[08:32] <chameleon> who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation
[08:32] <jim_p> zeeeee: i noticed you said clipboard after my post, sorry. enyway, you can find a frontend to it
[08:32] <wers> airtonix, dont worry. i'm using utorrent on windows. hehe
[08:32] <wers> airtonix, its just good to know that i can continue downloading on ubuntu with another client like transmission
[08:32] <chameleon> who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation
[08:32] <zeeeee> jim_p, that's what my whole question was about. i have been searching for 30 min but have not found a frontend for ubuntu (gnome)
[08:32] <Daft_Punk> where can i download aquarium for compiz fusion?
[08:33] <airtonix> wers, all good, just so you know...transmission is compatiable with utorrent dht and pex data also....which only applies while downloads are in affect
[08:33] <jim_p> chameleon: ipconfig ??
[08:34] <airtonix> wers, rTorrent will also do this....but my reason for using rTorrent is for the cli, which transmission also has... including a webinterface
[08:34] <wers> nice. i'll continue downloading with transmission when i go back to my ubuntu partition
[08:34] <chameleon> keeps on giving me command not found
[08:34] <airtonix> wers, but like i said, any torrent app worth its salt will continue since its a has check based on the .torrent file
[08:35] <wers> ok. thanks airtonix
[08:35] <ForsakenSoul> hey guys what was the command for formating something
[08:35] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[08:35] <ForsakenSoul> formating a pendrive
[08:35] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[08:35] <chameleon> who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation
[08:35] <chameleon> who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation
[08:35] <chameleon> keeps on giving me command not found
[08:35] <airtonix> Daft_Punk, have you looked into using the ppa repos for compiz?
[08:35] <FloodBot1> chameleon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:35] <jim_p> chameleon: my mistake. its ifconfig
[08:35] <chameleon> sorry ipconfig

[08:46] <Ishnu> !tab
[08:46] <airtonix> Ishnu, in any case you coud begin by using the "locate" command : $ locate png
[08:46] <Ishnu> ok thanks

[08:48] <turtle_> i am amazed that yall are still up
[08:48] <airtonix> turtle_, its only 3pm here in australia
[08:48] <Ishnu> Ok thanks airtonix
[08:48] <jim_p> espacious: is this TEW424UB the name of the device? how it appears on lsusb / lspci?
[08:48] <airtonix> turtle_, woops....times fun when your having flies....its actually 5pm
[08:49] <espacious> jim_p http://pastebin.com/m59776e8d
[08:49] <turtle_> 3.49am here
[08:49] <turtle_> my cousin is in australia
[08:49] <jim_p> espacious: yea i have seen this, what is it? it does not look like lsusb or lspci
[08:49] <Ishnu> I am in Australia.
[08:49] <espacious> jim_p is lsusb
[08:49] <Ishnu> Sydney, Australia.
[08:50] <airtonix> :) back on topic
[08:50] <Ishnu> lol
[08:50] <turtle_> people from everywhere
[08:50] <askvictor> where can I find a list of packages installed on my system?
[08:50] <Ishnu> airtonix:
[08:51] <airtonix> askvictor, $ dpkg -l
[08:51] <Ishnu> /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/ is incorrect, its not in pixmaps
[08:51] <Ishnu> It's just usr/share/backgrounds
[08:51] <Ishnu> But thanks, that led me to it
[08:51] <airtonix> Ishnu, thar you go...i made you look lol
[08:51] <askvictor> airtronix: is there a list in the filesystem anywhere? I'm recovering a broken system and I can't boot to run this command
[08:52] <airtonix> Ishnu, there will be programs that will create that folder though...like the cosmos screensaver
[08:52] <jim_p> espacious: this is ndiswrappers output. anywat, have a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628928
[08:52] <Ishnu> Yeh, the cosmos folder was in the pixmaps/backgrounds
[08:52] <espacious> jim_p sorry u right. i can paste u lsusb output
[08:53] <airtonix> askvictor, yes, if you have not cleaned out the packages they are kept as backups in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[08:53] <airtonix> !paste | espacious
[08:53] <espacious> jim_p sorry reading now but i think i already saw that
[08:53] <jim_p> espacious:  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0457:0163 Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. this is it?
[08:53] <jim_p> dont paste
[08:53] <espacious> yes
[08:54] <airtonix> askvictor, i recommend you look at the software apt-on-cd
[08:54] <airtonix> !info aptoncd | askvictor
[08:54] <espacious> jim_p yes it is, i meaned paste to pastebin:D
[08:55] <airtonix> espacious, there is a nice gnome-applet for using pastebin...its called webboard should be in your 'add applet to panel menu'
[08:55] <klarer> pepe49
[08:55] <espacious> airtonix thanks but im on win now
[08:56] <jim_p> espacious: it seems that ndiswrapper is the only way. can you tell if its ndiswrappers fault or the drivers?
[08:56] <[Solars]> is it possible to change the load splash image of unbuntu (right after grub done its thing) with a animated gif?
[08:56] <C0p3rn1c> is there by any chance a ubuntu forum moderator here?
[08:56] <SOGisherehaha> Does Ubuntu gives EVERY drive a UUID? because I found out once I format them with another OS, my Xubuntu can no longer see my drive
[08:56] <espacious> jim_p i can tell for 100% sure is kernel or ndiswrapper as i had this working for an year or more
[08:57] <askvictor> airtonix: would rather just get list of packages so I can re-install (am fearful of things on the fs being corrupted, hence reinstall)
[08:57] <espacious> jim_p a older release of ubuntu
[08:57] <[Solars]> SOGisherehaha all devices have a UUID number associated
[08:57] <espacious> jim_p it happened upon reinstall
[08:57] <IamSOG> Oh.. I see thanks [Solars]...
[08:57] <[Solars]> !UUID >> IamSOG
[08:57] <[Solars]> bah
[08:57] <C0p3rn1c> n/m
[08:57] <IamSOG> guess I shouldn't have format it then :o
[08:58] <[Solars]> you can find the new uuid
[08:58] <airtonix> askvictor, dpkg --get-selections do the job?
[08:58] <[Solars]> sudo blkid
[08:58] <jim_p> espacious: you are on ubuntu 6.06?
[08:58] <IamSOG> thanks [Solars] um... but UUID is given by Ubuntu right ?
[08:58] <[Solars]> yea
[08:58] <C0p3rn1c> yay mysql-workbench-alfa for linux has bin released!
[08:59] <airtonix> IamSOG, btw there is a tool here : /usr/bin/uuidd
[08:59] <espacious> jim_p now i tryed latest gos before i tryed latest daly ubuntu.
[08:59] <IamSOG> Oh, thanks, l am looking at it now
[08:59] <espacious> jim_p no luck, i think before reinstall i had 7.10
[08:59] <askvictor> airtonix: I can't run that as the system won't boot - all I can do is access the (partially corrupted) filesystem
[09:00] <IamSOG> Thanks airtonix and [Solars] I am looking at the UUID now, thanks.
[09:00] <jim_p> espacious: i have heard thet ndiswrapper fails sometimes and the solution to this is to compile it from source and install
[09:00] <airtonix> askvictor, then can you : ls /var/cache/apt/archives
[09:00] <airtonix> IamSOG, do a search with google for : ubuntu uuidd
[09:01] <airtonix> IamSOG, throw in ubuntuforums as a keyword also
[09:01] <espacious> jim_p did this i get the 1.53 from sf.net did make and make install
[09:01] <askvictor> airtonix: not all there; has been cleaned up I think
[09:01] <hosstest> what app can uncompress .7z archives?
[09:01] <espacious> jim_p same thing.
[09:01] <airtonix> askvictor, factor in a back up script next time round or have a look at apt-on-cd
[09:02] <airtonix> hosstest, $ apt-cache search 7zip
[09:02] <hosstest> thanks
[09:02] <airtonix> !info p7zip-full | hosstest
[09:02] <C0p3rn1c> I have a problem copying files to my nokia n95 8gb, the files are often corrupted and it hangs at 99% of the copy
[09:03] <jim_p> espacious: i cant think of anything more then, sorry :(
[09:03] <hosstest> you guys rock!,  Jim_p, you da man!  Later guys.
[09:03] <espacious> jim_p thanks, if u get sth on mind PM me.
[09:04] <pyrohotdog> My usb drive mounts on my laptop. but not on my desktop....and they're identical systems!
[09:04] <jim_p> espacious: ok
[09:05] <johntramp> hey can anyone recommend a command line rss aggregator?
[09:05] <espacious> jim_p thanks again.
[09:05] <jim_p> pyrohotdog: what usb?  flash drive?
[09:05] <Curious-Tux> hi, how could i install 3ds max in ubuntu with wine?
[09:05] <xiaopi> Curious-Tux, forget about it :)
[09:06] <Curious-Tux> xiaopi: why?
[09:06] <xiaopi> IF you're serious about using 3ds, dual boot your comp
[09:06] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=343 after all these critics here, i would not even bother burning to disk
[09:06] <Curious-Tux> xiaopi: i'm using 3ds max for 7 years and it's very bad if i can't havi it!
[09:06] <Curious-Tux> ow!
[09:07] <xiaopi> Keep on using windows then
[09:07] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: dual boot then. virtualization lacks 3d acceleration
[09:07] <Curious-Tux> xiaopi: nope
[09:07] <pyrohotdog> It's an external usb drive.
[09:08] <C0p3rn1c> Curious-Tux: don't know about 3ds but I recommend you to install wine-doors , it's a tool that makes it very easy to install wine apps
[09:08] <xiaopi> And 3ds is mainly developed for windows, so chances to see a port aren't around the corner
[09:08] <jim_p> pyrohotdog: is it listed in lsusb?
[09:08] <xiaopi> Maya is cross platform though
[09:08] <Curious-Tux> xiaopi: really
[09:08] <Curious-Tux> ?
[09:08] <pyrohotdog> jim_p: negative.
[09:08] <xiaopi> Yeah that's the closest thing you'll have
[09:08] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: i use premiere and photoshop for my job, thats why i need dual boot
[09:09] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: sometimes its the only way
[09:09] <C0p3rn1c> jim_p, photoshop runs fine with wine
[09:09] <xiaopi> cs3 had some issues, but cs2 always worked fine
[09:09] <Curious-Tux> Curious-Tux: yeah.. where could i find about dual boot?
[09:09] <xiaopi> (exept some plugins that jus crashed :)
[09:09] <jim_p> C0p3rn1c: i prefer native running. faster, more fluid
[09:10] <xiaopi> Dual boot is when you install linux and windows at the same taime
[09:10] <C0p3rn1c> it's all very easy to install with wine-doors
[09:10] <jim_p> pyrohotdog: is it listed as a drive in fdisk -l ?
[09:10] <Curious-Tux> xiaopi: mmm...
[09:10] <Tzahi> hello
[09:10] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, have you not used blender?
[09:10] <jim_p> hello
[09:10] <pyrohotdog> jim_p: Nope.
[09:10] <Curious-Tux>  airtonix: yes i have
[09:11] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, blenders bone system pwns 3ds
[09:11] <Curious-Tux>  airtonix:  but it's more difficult!
[09:11] <Tzahi> I have a question
[09:11] <C0p3rn1c> jim_p, it runs pretty fluid here
[09:11] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, you can always return to windows :)
[09:11] <passive> I've managed deleting and installing Gnome and it still doesn't work!!!
[09:11] <Curious-Tux> airtonix: oh don't say it... i hate windows and love ubuntu :d
[09:11] <Daft_Punk> airtonix, found solution. run script at this forum 4th post down (compizplugins4.sh) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820802&highlight=compiz+plugins&page=4
[09:12] <jim_p> pyrohotdog: plug it out and plug it back in. what does " dmesg | tail " say at that time? (you run it AFTER you plug it)
[09:12] <Tzahi> my wireless card changed it's name from wlan0 to eth1 is it a problem?
[09:12] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, then i suggest you learn to use blender...many a pro move maker have done so
[09:12] <jim_p> passive: then its the fglrx fault
[09:12] <xiaopi> Well use windows and run ubuntu in a full screen virtual machine
[09:12] <xiaopi> If you computer is powerfull enough (chances are if you run 3ds)
[09:12] <passive> jim_p: there's no fglrx phrase in the xorg.conf
[09:12] <Daft_Punk> Curious-Tux, install windows using virtualbox OSE (a virtual machine) works great for running windows only apps :) (i use it for photoshop)
[09:12] <Curious-Tux> airtonix: i am programmer... my friend want 3ds max... ok.. he can use maya too ;)
[09:12] <jim_p> passive: can you post it somewhere?
[09:13] <passive> like where?
[09:13] <Curious-Tux> Daft_Punk: really? how?
[09:13] <jim_p> pastebin
[09:13] <xiaopi> Daft_Punk, virtualbox doesn't support 3d accelerated softwares :)
[09:13] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, look at the orange project : http://orange.blender.org/background
[09:13] <passive> Okay
[09:13] <euw3648> Daft_Punk: you would have no 3d in virtualbox, so no 3ds
[09:13]  * Daft_Punk cries
[09:13] <pyrohotdog> jim_p: Device offlined - not read after errorr recovery
[09:13] <xiaopi> And SUN clearly isn't focusing on 3d now :
[09:13] <jim_p> Daft_Punk: virtualbox is good for apps that dont NEED 3d. there is no 3d accel in vbox
[09:13] <C0p3rn1c> windows runs great using vmware, it seems faster than running faster as my old native install :)
[09:13] <airtonix> euw3648, doesnt vmware have 3d accel?
[09:13] <euw3648> airtonix: no
[09:14] <C0p3rn1c> maybe it's because I have a 64 bit system
[09:14] <xiaopi> airtonix, does but too slow to run 3ds in a VM
[09:14] <passive> jim_p: this the xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d7fc15562
[09:14] <jim_p> i think that no virtualization product has 3dacceleration... yet
[09:14] <Curious-Tux> airtonix: yeah.. i've seen
[09:14] <euw3648> xiaopi: vmware does 3d accel? since when?
[09:14] <airtonix> C0p3rn1c, and thats as far as you will get .... anything that requires 3d will slow down...since there is no direct access to the 3d card
[09:14] <anakln> Hello all, i am trying to play counterstrike, problem is, i need the '-steamlocal -cstrike' option added to the commandline in wine. how do i get this done?
[09:14] <xiaopi> 1 or 2 year (you just had to manually edit the config file of the vm)
[09:14] <jim_p> 3d acceleration is in the future plans of every virtualization maker
[09:15] <xiaopi> with last workstation 6.5, it supports up to dx9 and shaders2
[09:15] <C0p3rn1c> no vmware doesnt have 3d acceleration atm
[09:15] <euw3648> jim_p: but none of them managed to do it
[09:15] <xiaopi> yes it does..
[09:15] <airtonix> !who
[09:15] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, http://www.theorangeproject.net/
[09:15] <C0p3rn1c> xiaopi: nice , I did not know tat
[09:15] <C0p3rn1c> yeah I was using vmware-player
[09:16] <xiaopi> vmware-player alone does too from last year option just isn't in the GUI :)
[09:16] <passive> jim_p, and this is the old backup  http://pastebin.com/d2dad25c5
[09:16] <euw3648> jim_p: and if virtualization is also used for security reasons, direct hardware access (which is needed for 3d accel) is a very bad thing
[09:16] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, woops...wrong site
[09:16] <jim_p> euw3648: we may see it in the near future. when i started linux, compiz was like "look what we managed to do :O" and now everyone has it
[09:16] <Curious-Tux> airtonix: yeap :d
[09:16] <jim_p> passive: do you have fglrx installed?
[09:17] <passive> i deleted it
[09:17] <C0p3rn1c> xiaopi: are you also running a 64 bit system?
[09:17] <xiaopi> we won't have correct gpu virtualisation until GPU manufacturer dev a chip for it (like vt-x)
[09:17] <jim_p> passive: Then add under the device section this line
[09:17] <xiaopi> Yes i do
[09:17] <jim_p> passive: 	Driver		"vesa"
[09:18] <Curious-Tux> how could i update OpenGL?
[09:18] <jxander> does gnome-volume-manager have a configuration gui?
[09:18] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: for what reason? update gpu drivers?
[09:18] <xiaopi> But using Windows and running a few app and using 3ds which is a memory eater monster and use heavy 3d rendering
[09:18] <Curious-Tux> jim_p: yeah
[09:18] <qweqwe> Hello. How do I replace kdm with gdm?
[09:18] <C0p3rn1c> xiaopi: my windows xp pro seems to run faster using vmware, am I seeing things or ? :)
[09:18] <jim_p> jxander: i think not, its all in gconf-editor :(
[09:18] <xiaopi> C0p3rn1c, try running a direct3d application then :)
[09:18] <euw3648> 3ds, blender, blah... i only use povray :)
[09:19] <passive> jim_p : in the Device section or after it ?
[09:19] <jim_p> qweqwe: install it and a prompt will come up to select
[09:19] <Curious-Tux> ?
[09:19] <ogzy> is there a way to change my eth cards ONBOOT=yes to no?
[09:19] <Curious-Tux> how to update OpenGL?
[09:19] <xiaopi> povray is Sweet/Slow =D
[09:19] <C0p3rn1c> xiaopi: I don't need 3d, I'm a web programmer and I don't play or design games
[09:19] <jim_p> passive: under this line         Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
[09:19] <airtonix> jxander, does the drives and media gui do it for you? found in the system -> preferences menu
[09:20] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: you need to install drivers for your vga !
[09:20] <passive> jim_p: okay then restart xserver ?
[09:20] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: from ati or nvidia
[09:20] <jim_p> passive: yes
[09:20] <Curious-Tux>  jim_p: NVIDIA
[09:20] <jxander> jim_p: thanks... is there a way to set gnome-volume-manager to mount at boot and leave a certain ntfs partition mounted for like ever? :)
[09:20] <passive> jim_p, ok thanks
[09:20] <xiaopi> C0p3rn1c, so it's totaly different from this kind of software
[09:20] <airtonix> !fstab | jxander
[09:20] <jim_p> jxander: use fstab for this, its the noauto option
[09:20] <jim_p> !fstab
[09:20] <qweqwe> jim_p: thanks
[09:21] <jim_p> !fstab
[09:21] <ogzy> is there a way to change my eth cards ONBOOT=yes to no at ubuntu hardy 64 bit desktop edition?

[09:22] <jxander> whoa, many thanks...
[09:22] <Curious-Tux> how could i install maya? with wine or?
[09:22] <jim_p> Curious-Tux: you need to install nvidia drivers (dependong on what card you have there are 2 sets of drivers) and make a minor change in xorg.conf
[09:22] <Curious-Tux> ok
[09:22] <jxander> back to fstab then... lazyness not ubuntu compatible :(
[09:22] <C0p3rn1c> did any1 here try ubuntu ultimate edition?
[09:22] <C0p3rn1c> looks fun :)
[09:23] <Curious-Tux> how could i install maya? with wine or ...?
[09:23] <chameleon> i already have ubuntu server installed and want to install teh ftp server so i can ftp from my windows box and install some files accross the lan, ho dod i do it if i already have installed
[09:23] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, with the maya installer
[09:23] <euw3648> ogzy: if you don't want an interface set up at boot time, edit /etc/network/interfaces and comment out lines like "auto eth1"
[09:23] <ogzy> euw3648, i am asking how can i do such a thing at ubuntu
[09:23] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, most programs wont know your not using windows
[09:23] <Curious-Tux> airtonix:  u mean it is crossplatdorm?
[09:23] <euw3648> ogzy: the interface config in debian and ubuntu is /etc/network/interfaces
[09:23] <chameleon> i already have ubuntu server installed and want to install teh ftp server so i can ftp from my windows box and install some files accross the lan, ho dod i do it if i already have installed
[09:23] <Curious-Tux> platform*
[09:23] <passive> jim_p: you are my hero
[09:24] <C0p3rn1c> chameleon: you can also use samba
[09:24] <airtonix> ogzy, this is how you do it in ubuntu ergo debian
[09:24] <chameleon> yeah i know i would rather use the ftp
[09:24] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, i mean that ... when you run the maya-installer-of-pawnage.exe its most likley going to install
[09:24] <ogzy> euw3648, ok will try it now
[09:25] <euw3648> ogzy: and read the manpage (man interfaces)
[09:25] <passive> well now the screen resolution totally missed up
[09:25] <jim_p> passive: did it work? you dont have 3d acceleration now though
[09:25] <chameleon> how do i get to the package installer from the command line
[09:25] <C0p3rn1c> chameleon: isnt there documentation on ubuntu server explaining this? if not just install a popular ftp server
[09:25] <passive> no and i wasn't trying to enable it till today
[09:25] <airtonix> Curious-Tux, every single windows app i have installed with its own installer has : installed, created a desktop icon and works
[09:25] <passive> yes it did work
[09:25] <C0p3rn1c> chameleon: !install
[09:25] <airtonix> !apt-get | chameleon
[09:25] <poing_> Is there a way to access the content of the clipboard in a gnome-terminal via a command? Like "clipboardcontents >> somefile.txt"
[09:26] <airtonix> poing_, middle click after you highlight something
[09:26] <jxander> which one is more compatible with using multiple applications that require sound? alsa, oss, pulse?
[09:26] <Curious-Tux> airtonix: yeah.. i used wine before... tnx
[09:26] <Lofde_> anyone know on the ubuntu forums how i can view who gave me thanks and on what forums ?
[09:26] <airtonix> Lofde_, rephrase your question it seems incomplete
[09:26] <poing_> airtonix, via a command, not by mouse, and it should not just be pasted there.
[09:27] <Lofde_> airtonix,  on the forums when someone gives you thanks, can you see who it was and on what post
[09:27] <airtonix> Lofde_, have you looked at your profile page?
[09:28] <airtonix> !info xclip
[09:28] <airtonix> poing_, is this what you want? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/xclip.html
[09:28] <Vanter> I'm trying to do a dist-upgrade from feisty to gutsy, and apt-get wants to remove the current kernel and the modules directory for it.. anyone experienced that before?
[09:29] <Lofde_> airtonix,  yes, but i didnt see where on my profile page it might be
[09:29] <Vanter> I doesn't seem to want to install a new kernel image either..
[09:29] <poing_> airtonix, yeshu! that looks exactly like what i was thinking of :)

[09:29] <ogzy> euw3648, there is not eth entry et the interfaces file
[09:30] <Lofde_> airtonix,  i found it thix
[09:30] <euw3648> ogzy: please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file
[09:30] <passive> how to set the screen resolution to 1024*768 ??
[09:30] <jim_p> passive: if you are patient enough, here is my xorg.conf. you can make on of your own and istall fglrx    http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf
[09:30] <ogzy> euw3648, auto lo iface lo inet loopback
[09:30] <euw3648> ogzy: pastebin, not here
[09:30] <airtonix> !paste | ogzy
[09:31] <passive> jim_p: wow it'll take ages for me to know all these options :s
[09:31] <ogzy> euw3648, there is no eth entry just lo information pasting doesnt change
[09:31] <airtonix> passive, but once you do youll see that its not as hard as you once thought it was
[09:32] <passive> airtonix, will i'll do it one a time
[09:32] <euw3648> ogzy: so the file consists only of one line?
[09:32] <jim_p> passive: its the same in 90% of it
[09:32] <ogzy> euw3648, ok pasting
[09:32] <jim_p> passive: most of the options under fglrx are just tweaks
[09:33] <ogzy> euw3648, http://paste.ubuntu.com/53395/
[09:33] <euw3648> ogzy: you pasted nothing
[09:33] <euw3648> ogzy: sorry
[09:33] <passive> Hmm okay i'll get to it but first i should use subsection display to set the resolution right ?
[09:33] <jim_p> passive yea
[09:33] <ogzy> euw3648, as i said there is nothing related with eth
[09:34] <jim_p> passive: note that mine has to do with a tft monitor
[09:34] <passive> and restarting x again right ?
[09:34] <jim_p> yea
[09:34] <euw3648> ogzy: then the eth* interfaces are set up by network manager
[09:34] <passive> i'll set it to 1024*768
[09:34] <ogzy> euw3648, and normally there isnt any entry for other interfaces at the interfaces file, network manager automaticaly handles them
[09:34] <euw3648> ogzy: if you don't want that, you have to remote the network manager package
[09:34] <airtonix> ogzy, not always true...
[09:35] <euw3648> network manager stinks
[09:36] <ogzy> euw3648, lets first identify the problem, i removed the parameterf quiet and splash from the grub and after pressing enter it freezes after sayin r8169 is loaded and eth0 information line
[09:36] <ogzy> euw3648, it sometimes happens indeed
[09:36] <ogzy> euw3648, while plaing with acpi anc pci options it sometimes passes it and i got my desktop
[09:36] <airtonix> euw3648, ogzy in my experience, the problems i had with  network-manager were to do with my own lack of understanding on how things were behaving...and my own pervasive interference and lack of patience
[09:37] <Falcons_roost> I have question about EVE there is the licience agreement to view when you first start the game . For me there is no text to scroll to get the end of agreement anyone know what might be wrong
[09:37] <euw3648> airtonix: i prefer to handle interfaces with /etc/network/interfaces only
[09:37] <euw3648> airtonix: network-manager is too much automatism
[09:37] <airtonix> euw3648, which is why network manager hates you
[09:37]  * Kondensuotas_pie a a a a Stay'in alive stay'in alive !!!
[09:38] <airtonix> Falcons_roost, this is a question best taken up on the linux section of the eve-online forums
[09:38] <euw3648> airtonix: okay, i edit /etc/network/interfaces _after_ i deinstall network manager
[09:38] <Falcons_roost> ok
[09:38] <pavan> hey can u tell me a software that is very useful and handy
[09:38] <euw3648> ogzy: okay, this sounds more a like hardware/driver issue with that realtek gbit card
[09:39] <airtonix> pavan, read the tutorials and tips section of the ubuntuforums website
[09:39] <_haywire_> pavan: terminal is both useful and handy
[09:39] <airtonix> ogzy, wait are you using intrepid?
[09:39] <pavan> ok  thanks
[09:41] <pfo> hey guys
[09:41] <ogzy> airtonix, no hardy
[09:41] <pfo> kaffeine screwed my ac3 sound :/

[09:41] <ogzy> airtonix, do you think i should try it?
[09:41] <pfo> by automaticall trying to install some codecs
[09:42] <pfo> which didn't work
[09:42] <pfo> but now ac3 sound only works partially

[09:42] <pfo> voices are gone
[09:42] <pfo> any hints?
[09:42] <pfo> reinstalled moste libxine1-* liba52 mplayer kaffeine etc.
[09:42] <pavan> k
[09:42] <pfo> still no changes.
[09:43] <airtonix> ogzy, not sure, i know that intrepid has a network card driver that will smoke and brick your network card. so dont touch it yet

[09:43] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how can i get x-mplayer2 plugin for firefox???????
[09:44] <airtonix> indian_munnda, read the above msg from ubottu
[09:44] <Falcons_roost> can some one give me path to wine director for windows
[09:44] <jim_p> indian_munnda: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[09:44] <jim_p> i am GONE. see you
[09:44] <airtonix> Falcons_roost, windows questions are best discussed in #windows
[09:44] <Indoctrine> Falcons_roost: ~/.wine/drive_c
[09:44] <Falcons_roost> ty
[09:45] <ogzy> airtonix, so what it that freezing problem at eth, indeed it freezes at different places sometimes passes sometimes says use bus_type methods so random behaviors
[09:45] <amorphous_> I'm having massive problems with dbus & hplip. Is there a better place to discuss it or can I go through it here?
[09:45] <pfo> sorry, but the wiki pages contain 0 information.
[09:45] <airtonix> ogzy, no idea sorry
[09:45] <pfo> nothing.
[09:45] <Indoctrine> Falcons_roost: Np
[09:45] <slak> hi
[09:45] <airtonix> ogzy, try another nic card...
[09:45] <ogzy> airtonix, it is a laptop
[09:45] <Falcons_roost> :)
[09:45] <airtonix> !who | pfo
[09:46] <airtonix> ogzy, usb nics are available :)
[09:46] <ogzy> airtonix, but the eth still on it i can not remove it
[09:46] <pfo> airtonix:  the wiki stuff is worthless.
[09:46] <sullyva86> Anybody know a simple way to enable ICS in ubuntu? It's easy in windows but I don't know what to do in ubuntu.
[09:46] <airtonix> pfo, in your opinion
[09:46] <ogzy> airtonix, i need a way ti disable it from kernel parameters if possible
[09:46] <airtonix> !firestarter | sullyva86
[09:47] <pfo> airtonix: no, there's nothing relevant to my problem there.
[09:47] <euw3648> ogzy: maybe it is a 64bit only issue. already tried the 32bit version?
[09:47] <airtonix> sullyva86, it also has a internet connection sharing section in it
[09:47] <ogzy> euw3648, 32 bit is working
[09:47] <pfo> airtonix: not even remotely.
[09:47] <sullyva86> airtonix: Can i just use it without enabling the firewall then?
[09:47] <euw3648> ogzy: then use that. 64bit gets you nothing on the desktop except you have 4GB+ ram and very big file
[09:48] <euw3648> +s
[09:48] <airtonix> pfo, make a post on the forums describing your situation and provide pastes from : lspci -vvv
[09:48] <pfo> airtonix: did you read what i said?
[09:48] <sullyva86> airtonix:  I don't think i have the ubuntu ucf enabled
[09:48] <ogzy> euw3648, i need ti solve this problem :)
[09:48] <airtonix> sullyva86, ucf?
[09:48] <pfo> airtonix: i don't have any problem with general sound output.
[09:48] <pfo> airtonix: damnit.
[09:48] <euw3648> ogzy: why does it have to be 64bit?
[09:48] <sullyva86> airtonix: The uncomplicated firewall or whatever they call it thats included with ubuntu
[09:48] <pfo> airtonix: it's something ac3/liba52 specific.
[09:49] <airtonix> sullyva86, get rid of it ...firestarter is better
[09:49] <pfo> airtonix: i removed all rc files for kaffeine/mplayer/libxine1.
[09:49] <airtonix> sullyva86, firestarter and ufw, are just frontend guis to  the underlying firewall that is already insatlled....which is called iptables
[09:49] <chameleon> i installed vfstpd and i cant work out where the config file is for it i can actually log into it from my windows ftp client, filezilla but its preveneting me from transferring any files and i think is the case as i can only login as anonymous
[09:50] <airtonix> pfo, sorry cant help you im afraid
[09:50] <pfo> airtonix: np, thx anyway.
[09:50] <airtonix> chameleon, tried using the locate command to search for the conf files?
[09:50] <Ademan> is there any way to get mplayer to play files mounted using gvfs ssh ?
[09:51] <airtonix> chameleon, $ locate vsftp | grep conf
[09:51] <chameleon> cheers airtronix
[09:51] <sullyva86> airtonix: Do i need to remove ufw before installing firestarter?
[09:51] <euw3648> airtonix: why not simply list the files of the package? dpkg -L vsftp
[09:51] <airtonix> chameleon, another way might be to read the man pages for the program, they usually list the conf files paths
[09:52] <airtonix> sullyva86, dont think so, just stop it but you can if you want
[09:52] <airtonix> sullyva86, ufw is mainly for use on ubuntu machines without a screen
[09:53] <chameleon> yeah airtronix, i cant work ou two things where the vfstpd folder is after the install and how to view the man pages and how to edit teh conf files
[09:53] <sullyva86> airtonix: I actually have gufw a graphical frontend installed for ufw but never turned it on cuz i didn't think i needed it.
[09:54] <chameleon> im sorry im asking so many questions im trying to get this done in a hurry usually iwould just sit and read
[09:54] <airtonix> chameleon, euw3648 has suggested that you use the dpkg command to list the files : dpkg -L vsftp
[09:54] <amorphous_> does anyone else have issues with printers stopping working using hplip
[09:54] <amorphous_> ?
[09:54] <euw3648> chameleon: dpkg -L vsftpd
[09:54] <Lofde_> I love leaving my footprint on the web :) Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:<IP_ADDRESS>) Gecko/2008092515 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.1
[09:55] <airtonix> sullyva86, imo gufw is a poor replacement for firestarter...only the cli portion is worth holding onto if you run a server and dont want to enable x-forwarding
[09:56] <euw3648> Lofde_: this is not the web
[09:56] <sullyva86> airtonix: So is there a way to just use the ICS without leaving the firewall on? I'd hate to have to open ports on a firewall and a router.
[09:56] <chameleon> euw3648: dpkj command doesnt work saying command not found
[09:57] <euw3648> chameleon: dpkg, not dpkj
[09:57] <airtonix> sullyva86, you dont have to open ports by using firestarters ics
[09:57] <airtonix> sullyva86, unless the machine making use of your ics requires ports to be forwarded
[09:57] <sullyva86> airtonix: I know. I mean now that i installed this firestarter am i going to have to configure it so it doesnt block bittorent and other apps etc.
[09:58] <sullyva86> airtonix: Since before i was running zero software firewall.
[09:58] <Lofde_> thanks euw3648  ;)
[09:58] <airtonix> sullyva86, set your torrent ap to use a dedicated port and open that port
[09:58] <airtonix> sullyva86, then set your router to forward that port...
[09:58] <airtonix> sullyva86, you always had a firewall running....firestarter is not a firewall..only a config app
[09:59] <sullyva86> airtonix: No everything is already working i'm just asking if installing firestarter is going to block all that. Yeah but i had it turned off.
[09:59] <chameleon> euw3648: dpkg command saying not installed, which is funny i just did an aptget and it downloaded and installed some dependencies i have logged in with filezilla
[09:59] <airtonix> sullyva86, i can only suggest that you experiment and find out
[10:00] <euw3648> chameleon: dpkg -L vsftpd    says it is not installed?
[10:00] <sullyva86> airtonix: Oh ok thats
[10:00] <sullyva86> airtonix: thanks*
[10:00] <airtonix> sullyva86, but from memory... if your using upnp then i dont think you do need to worry about opening ports.
[10:01] <upnPAD> hey all, does anyone know the font used in http://www.ubuntu.com/files/u3/helpmenu.png I've never used ubuntu, it's just that the font is really easy on my eyes
[10:01] <sullyva86> airtonix: Yeah im sure about that im just wondering about other services etc. I'll just try to remember its on now and if stuff doesn't work to configure it lol.
[10:01] <airtonix> sullyva86, but you will get better transfer peformance by using a dedicated port
[10:02] <airtonix> sullyva86, have a read of this forum post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[10:03] <kongove> Is there anybody like Python?
[10:03] <sullyva86> airtonix: Nope
[10:04] <airtonix> sullyva86, nope what? no you didnt read the post or no you wont get better peformance when specifying a port to use?
[10:04] <{g}> Hey People! Is it safe to assume, that a user without root privilieges cannot restore a deleted file, even if he was the owner of the file?
[10:04] <sullyva86> airtonix: Post looks interesting i'm glancing over it. I think i already use a dedicated port cuz UPNP wasn't working for me or something.
[10:05] <airtonix> sullyva86, imo upnp is also a security risk
[10:05] <euw3648> airtonix: ACK
[10:05] <rebel_kid> what is the package for pureftp, sudo apt-get install pureftp doesnt work
[10:05] <sullyva86> airtonix: So is leaving ports open
[10:05] <airtonix> rebel_kid, apt-cache search ftp | grep pure
[10:05] <IntuitiveNipple> rebel_kid: pureftpd ?
[10:06] <euw3648> rebel_kid: apt-cache search pureftp
[10:06] <airtonix> sullyva86, which is beside the point since upnp opens ports that you dont know about
[10:06] <euw3648> rebel_kid: the package name is pure-ftpd
[10:06] <kongove> "apt-cache search" can help us find the right name of the software.
[10:07] <rebel_kid> euw3648, u said it just as i found it :)
[10:07] <rebel_kid> thanks all
[10:07] <airtonix> sullyva86, so when monitoring traffice with something like jnettop or etheral...how would you know that port 58333 is for torrents when just yesterday maybe it was 32222
[10:07]  * euw3648 wonders why so many people use stupid protocols like ftp
[10:07] <sullyva86> airtonix: Oh yeah it just opens ports whenever? I'm no expert I just know its more convenient.
[10:07] <sullyva86> airtonix: If you set your client to stay on one port and not to randomize right?
[10:07] <airtonix> sullyva86, mhmm and what did we learn from windows, safe-sex & fast food  about convienence?
[10:08] <airtonix> sullyva86, jokes
[10:08] <sullyva86> airtonix: Some of that safe-sex stuff is overblown too haha
[10:08] <airtonix> :)
[10:08] <UnionPivo> airtonix, use netstat -p it shows you which programs are using which port
[10:08] <ken_do_san> good evening all
[10:08] <sullyva86> airtonix: Do you know what package i need to install to enable the dhcp function of firestarter?
[10:09] <airtonix> sullyva86, not sure, i assumed it was part of firestarter
[10:09] <airtonix> sullyva86, again, i like to set stuff up in a static manner
[10:11] <airtonix> aiet time for sleep...big dinner make me sleepy
[10:11] <sullyva86> sullyva86: I'm just doing ics to get this old laptop online i have next to my new one. I found it.

[10:12] <shyam_k> i was surprised to see ubuntu working on an ntfs partition..as my friend installed ubuntu inside windows..anyway thats pure virutalisation and not that much recommendable for not-so-high-end pcs right?
[10:14] <euw3648> shyam_k: that's no virtualization at all
[10:14] <stdin> shyam_k: it's not virutalisation exactly, it just uses a file on a partition as a fake hard drive. the only thing that would be slower is disk access, the rest should be the same
[10:14] <euw3648> shyam_k: it just runs from a loop-mounted file on the ntfs partition
[10:14] <euw3648> shyam_k: which is of course slower than having the filesystem directly on a partition
[10:15] <joerack_> Is there a way to remove manually applications installed in wine?
[10:15] <shyam_k> oh ic its like mounting from the live cd in that partition..
[10:15] <zplash> hi, in which folder are the icons of ubuntu located?
[10:15] <shyam_k> i mean booting from the live cd ..
[10:16] <shyam_k> ok and its not yet to make ubuntu/other GNU/Linux to run on ntfs right?
[10:16] <shyam_k> or i heard still ext3 is the best or something.
[10:17] <stdin> it doesn't run on ntfs exactly, it still uses ext3
[10:17] <euw3648> shyam_k: ntfs can't be used as a native filesystem under linux. many things like ownerships, device files etc. would be missing
[10:17] <pavan> hey can anyone tell me how to open a bin file
[10:17] <euw3648> shyam_k: and btw, ntfs is not documented by microsoft
[10:17] <pavan> coz i am downloading realplayer it is coming in bin file
[10:18] <Vanter> dist-upgrade wants to remove my current kernel when i want to go from feisty to gutsy, anyone know how to work around that?
[10:18] <shyam_k> ohk so its the same story.. i thought the story changed all the way:)
[10:18] <euw3648> shyam_k: the wubi based install creates a ext3 _in_ a file on a ntfs partition
[10:18] <shyam_k> great!
[10:18] <pavan> even google earth is downloaded as bin file.. iam not able to open it
[10:18] <Vanter> pavan: you probably have to execute it, as it's most likely a installer
[10:19] <pavan> so it is executed as?
[10:19] <pavan> any command such as install etc?
[10:19] <Vanter> pavan: in a terminal ./nameoffile.bin
[10:19] <pavan> ok
[10:19] <pavan> thanks
[10:19] <shyam_k> pavan: btw google earth is as proprietary as windows is:)

[10:20] <ernest> hello room
[10:22] <pavan> hey but it says permission denied
[10:22] <pavan> so how to operate that bin file?
[10:22] <Vanter> pavan: you probably have to give it execute permission
[10:22] <pavan> howz that going to happen?
[10:22] <Vanter> pavan: chmod u+x nameofbinfile.bin in a terminal
[10:23] <Vanter> pavan: that gives your user permission to execute it
[10:23] <pavan> ok
