[00:02] <flynch> the volume-mute, volume-up & volume-down actions in gnome don't seem to control my audio out... under system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, I've set these to my hardware keys, I get the OSD but no change in volume. Anyone got a tip on what I should look at to debug/fix this?
[00:02] <Jack_Sparrow> saintbob move what you want to the top menu item or set the default os to boot
[00:03] <m66> kocham was]=
[00:03] <saintbob> k thanks
[00:03] <plytheman> okay, I can only ping my XP box MEDIA from my XP box OLDNEW, but can't ping OLDNEW from MEDIA if that could be parth of the problem
[00:03] <m66> przepraszam
[00:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > m66
[00:04] <hudnix> Hey, does anyone know what packages I have to reinstall to get back to a virgin apache2 + php5 setup?   That's what I wanted to do, right?  where did it go?
[00:07] <murdok> dpkg -L samba-doc
[00:08] <daklan> plytheman: dpkg -L samba-doc
[00:08] <airtonix> plytheman, man samba
[00:08] <murdok> hehe
[00:08] <plytheman> ic
[00:08] <plytheman> someday I'll understand how to do things in terminal
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> plytheman you can find the install directories in synaptic
[00:08] <pcorr> anyone know how to adjust monitor brightness?  I searched ubuntu wiki and found nothing
[00:08] <szal> pcorr: on your monitor perhaps? o0
[00:09] <pcorr> it is a laptop
[00:09] <pcorr> no such feature i am afraid
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !keys
[00:09] <daklan> pcorr: other than hotkeys?
[00:09] <mn> anyone here know how to make phi and psi in OO.o Formula editor?
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> pcorr see the section above on keys..  it may help
[00:09] <dr_willis> pcorr,  my laptops special brightness keys work for me..  I recall some specific brightness tools - for specific brand laptops in the repos also
[00:09] <lap> how to fix flash9+firefox crashes ?
[00:09] <nonewmsgs> pcorr, i think there is a gtk widget thing
[00:10] <flynch> in case there is a bot logging this. my fix was in System->Preferences->Sound Preferences, select the alsa mixer device & the master channel.
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> flynch for sound from multiple aps right
[00:11] <tonyyarusso> Has anyone else had problems with the Facebook Chat plugin for Pidgin making it crash frequently?
[00:11] <plytheman> facebook chat is on pidgin?
[00:11] <daklan> has anyone managed to make a laserjet 3100 run with hplip in ubuntu? hplip's site lists it as supported, but everyone else in the net has mentioned that it doesn't work
[00:11] <outbri> tonyyaruss0: yep
[00:11] <tonyyarusso> plytheman: It can be, with said plugin.
[00:12] <tonyyarusso> outbri: Any workarounds that you've found so far?
[00:12] <lap> how to fix flash9+firefox crashes ?
[00:12] <Daft_Punk> Killeroid, i tried running that command but nothing happened, how do i exit gnome panel first
[00:12] <outbri> tonyyarusso: I haven't come across anything. The crashes have stayed through 3 or so pidgin upgrades, and an upgrade to intrepid ibex
[00:13] <lap> damn, there's never no one to help here.
[00:13] <tonyyarusso> lap: don't use firefox, but it does the same to epiphany a lot - always when I'm closing a tab, oddly enough.
[00:13] <lap> tonyyarusso: what do you want me to use to use flash perfectly ?
[00:13] <tonyyarusso> outbri: Ick.  Bug filed yet?
[00:13] <airtonix> tonyyarusso, lap its because both your choice of browser use the gecko rendering engine
[00:13] <tonyyarusso> lap: I don't know if there is a way to make flash work perfectly right now, sadly.  I just try to avoid it when I can.
[00:14] <tonyyarusso> airtonix: acknowledged.
[00:14] <lap> tonyyarusso: flash10 ?
[00:14] <Killeroid> Daft_Punk: you have to go to gnome session, current session, select gnome-panel and kill it. You have to save the current session if you want  gnome-panel to be always killed when you log in
[00:14] <outbri> tonyyarusso: I haven't. I didn't set up a launchpad account until a little while ago, so I haven't.
[00:14] <tonyyarusso> lap: haven't tried it yet
[00:14] <dewente> i want to lear bash script .. any suggestion
[00:15] <airtonix> tonyyarusso, one thing i cant see properly is the streetview in googlepmaps
[00:15] <outbri> tonyyarusso: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/261630 seems to be it
[00:15] <tonyyarusso> outbri: Wouldn't be an LP thing, since the plugin isn't packaged for Ubuntu.  I think it's hosted on google code.
[00:15] <tonyyarusso> outbri: I guess that's one way, although likely misdirected.  /me will look into it more.
[00:16] <DCPom> is pidgin-libnotify only for GNOME?
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !find abs
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !find abs-
[00:16] <dewente> i want to learn bash script
[00:16] <dewente> any book
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> dewente sudo apt-get install abs-guide
[00:16] <Daft_Punk> Killeroid, ok i see trayer running now but i dont see my apps being minimized to the invisible bar, so how can i make it do that
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !info abs-guide
[00:17] <J-n> I'm definetly having Zero luck watching an episode of the simpsons from fox.com. I have tried using user agent switcher, but that has not provided me any improvement. I get to the page and it seems the video is loading... but it just stays there. If anyone has had success in viewing videos from Fox.com please let me know how ya did it :)
[00:17] <dewente> Jack_Sparrow, did you learn from that ?
[00:17] <outbri> tonyyarusso: looks like there are a number of different crash reports on it's google code wiki
[00:18] <Killeroid> Daft_Punk: trayer is just the system tray. i use tint as my panel/task bar  where apps are minimised to
[00:18] <michaelbuckbee> Anyone know how to set an environment variable in Ubuntu? I'm having trouble with the syntax. RAILS_ENV = "production" is not working
[00:18] <Frogzoo> anyone know why my laptop often emits loud beeps when coming out of suspend?
[00:18] <jrib> michaelbuckbee: no space
[00:18] <Denise> omg
[00:18] <Killeroid> Daft_Punk: trayer is not in the repos, you can find a deb onlnie or i can email you a deb of the most current version
[00:18] <Frogzoo> michaelbuckbee: no spaces
[00:18] <Jack_Sparrow> dewente firefox file:///usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index.html              after you install it..   A good FREE book.. how can you go wrong
[00:18] <nonewmsgs> are there any good transcodders for mkv (hi def video) to something compatable with standard dvd format?
[00:18] <michaelbuckbee> jrib: do I need the quotes around "production" also /etc/environment is the right place for this?
[00:18] <Daft_Punk> Killeroid, what do u mean i got trayer... now i need tint lol
[00:19] <jrib> michaelbuckbee: that's one place.  It's system-wide for all users
[00:19] <jrib> michaelbuckbee: you don't need quotes
[00:19] <michaelbuckbee> jrib: ok, will try. Thanks
[00:20] <michaelbuckbee> heck, one more question: any non rebooting command that can reload /etc/environment ?
[00:20] <dewente> Jack_Sparrow, is too big
[00:20] <jrib> michaelbuckbee: no, not for your entire desktop environment
[00:20] <Jack_Sparrow> dewente you are welcome to /j #bash or look around
[00:20] <lorph> where is the python lib path
[00:21] <michaelbuckbee> jrib: ok, it was rebooting as I asked, I was just curious
[00:21] <jrib> lorph: why?
[00:21] <lorph> because i need to update a package
[00:21] <dewente> to /j #bash or look around
[00:21] <dewente> to /j #bash or look around
[00:21] <dewente> ?
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> dewente your choice, but help with programming is not within the scope of this channel
[00:22] <Frogzoo> anyone know why my laptop often emits loud beeps when coming out of suspend?
[00:22] <michaelbuckbee> ok, I lied one more one more questions: how can I tell conclusively if it is set, I type $RAILS_ENV after sshing in and it fails, but $PATH works nicely
[00:22] <jrib> lorph: so use APT.  Or if you really think you have to, install your own version in /usr/local/.  In any case, python -c 'import sys; print sys.path;' will tell you the path
[00:22] <xMassi1986x> Somebody know a good VNC server? Vino is minimal for me :/
[00:22] <michaelbuckbee> Frogzoo: why or how to turn off?
[00:22] <Frogzoo> michaelbuckbee: both
[00:22] <Frogzoo> michaelbuckbee: if I know the why, I can turn it off  :)
[00:22] <philsf> how hard is it nowadays to setup a NIS+ on ubuntu? (I have used NIS in the past, and the docs made clear that NIS+ was pretty hard to do by then, some 8 years ago)
[00:23] <lorph> thx jrib it was in /usr/local/lib
[00:23] <jrib> michaelbuckbee: echo $RAILS_ENV
[00:23] <michaelbuckbee> Frogzoo: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/26/turning-off-the-system-hardware-beep-linux-tutorial/
[00:23] <Frogzoo> michaelbuckbee: legend, thx
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Frogzoo check for overheating if it is only when the pc has been off for a rather short time
[00:23] <Daft_Punk> Killeroid, i would like the deb of tint if u have it
[00:23] <cliechti> whats the current state of backuping an ubuntu systems. are there any recommendations for recent ubuntu installations? (google shows a lot of "old" results)
[00:23] <Frogzoo> Jack_Sparrow: it's just when coming out of suspend, so I don't think heat's the problem
[00:23] <jrib> !backup > cliechti
[00:24] <michaelbuckbee> aah, excellent
[00:24] <michaelbuckbee> jrib: thanks for all the help, I think I've got it
[00:24] <Killeroid> Daft_Punk: see my pm
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Frogzoo my thinking is that if you suspend, fans go off and the system temp will climb for a bit,  Does it happen when the laptop is off for an extended period
[00:25] <generic> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-6/intrepid-desktop-i386.iso.torrent ;)
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > generic
[00:25] <Digg> hello. quick question about the ubuntu minimal distro (the 9,5MB one). does it let me choose partitions etc as normal (text installer)? or does it by some strange reason just make it own partition tree..
[00:26] <generic> Jack_Sparrow, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-6/intrepid-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[00:26] <Digg> i mean, can i choose which partition to format etc
[00:26] <learning22> hello, how do I search a whole directory tree for a certain type of file? like say /desktop/ then what ls /s mydoc*.*?
[00:27] <generic> Jack_Sparrow, don't be such a power knob
[00:27] <Pici> learning22: find /desktop/ iname "mydoc*.*"
[00:27] <jrib> learning22: you can use find
[00:27] <Pici> learning22: oops, forgot a dash: find /desktop/ -iname "mydoc*.*"
[00:27] <Frogzoo> Jack_Sparrow: it beeps when it's been suspended for hours, so that's not it
[00:27] <puff> I just installed apache2 and php5 and apache's not interpresting index.php as a script, it's returning the source instead.
[00:27] <jrgp> what is the gnome program that manages printers?
[00:27] <learning22> i see and can do a find --help for all the variables right?
[00:28] <jrib> learning22: or 'man find'
[00:28] <Pici> learning22: man find   has more information in my opinion
[00:28] <learning22> cool, thanks
[00:28] <outbri> jrgp: cups
[00:28] <puff> I installed php5-common, etc. I checked and .php is in /etc/mimetypes. php5.conf is in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled.
[00:29] <puff> And /etc/apache2/sites-available/dir.conf has index.php inthe DirectoryIndex line.
[00:29] <learning22> so if i wanted to find all of the .h files on my pc, i could goto the root directory and do a find -iname *.h?
[00:29] <puff> Anybody know what I need to do to get php working?
[00:29] <cliechti> jrib: thanks, i know some of these backup tools. so it looks like only sbackup is usable. the others are "experimental", not packaged for ubuntu or "enterprise" grade with configuration friendliness like sendmail ;-)
[00:29] <puff> learning22: You should include a starting directory parameter. Also, I find tha tmost of the time I need to put double-quotes around the find pattern, e.g. "*.h"
[00:30] <jrib> !lamp > puff
[00:30] <jrib> puff: follow the troubleshooting steps there
[00:30] <jrgp> puff, sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> cliechti I use tar and dd for my backups
[00:30] <tyler_> IM havign a problem wiht sound, i try to touc hteh volume, and it says this is no sound device connected, i go to SYSTEM>PREFRENCES>SOUND and theres no device on the drop down menu
[00:30] <tyler_> i just had sound working liek yesterday
[00:31] <xsystemx> anyone know how to start xvnc manually?
[00:31] <cliechti> Jack_Sparrow: :-) have done that too, but i'd like to have an user friendly variant i can tell to non geeks too ;-)
[00:31] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  I normally install 'vnc4server' and use the command 'vncserver'  - not sure about xvnc,  could check its docs. :)
[00:31] <dr_willis> !info xvnc
[00:32] <puff> jrgp: Be danged, I thought I'd installed that. You're right.
[00:33] <learning22> thats worked perfect, except i got a couple of permission denied files, im guessing i need to do a sudo find *.h to get the results of those type of files correct?
[00:33] <xsystemx> dr_willis - both are installed... odd... can you tell me how to start vncserver?
[00:34] <cliechti> xsystemx: just "vncsever" or "vnc4server" should do. i usually also use -geometry WxH
[00:34] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  the command is 'vncserver' :)
[00:34] <learning22> is the command in ubuntu find the same as in freebsd or unix systems?
[00:34] <puff> jrib: Oddly enough, php5-cli isn't mentioned on the LAMP troubleshooting page. Should it be?
[00:34] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  check the .vnc directory also. and if theres a xstartup file - to configure what window manager you want vnc to run
[00:34] <Happy> test
[00:34] <xsystemx> dr_willis - ./vncserver -geometry WxH
[00:34] <xsystemx> vncserver: geometry WxH is invalid
[00:34] <blak> Anyone ever had to setup wireless with peap mschapv2 802.1x at a university?
[00:34] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  note that vnc4server and 'vncserver' do NOT share the 'current' desktop. they make their own
[00:35] <wers> i cant boot my hardy right now. I had fsck problems. now, i cant totally boot. before, i just used to skip the fsck. yesterday, i did fsck manually.
[00:35] <blak> i have found several posts on the forums but no luck in trying all that they had
[00:35] <jrib> puff: you shouldn't need it
[00:35] <cliechti> xsystemx: replace W and H with numbers, such as 1024x768
[00:35] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  you might want to read the docs a littel bit on it..  if its isntalled you dont use ./whatever its a normal command :)
[00:35] <learning22> xsystemx; is the command in ubuntu find the same as in freebsd or unix systems?
[00:35] <DCPom> is pidgin-libnotify only for GNOME?
[00:35] <bringatowel> dr_willis: my guess is it should work fine without the ./ part
[00:35] <unop> learning22, do you mean, is 'find' the same ?
[00:36] <plytheman> hi
[00:36] <puff> jrib: Hm, you're right, installing php5-cli didn't fix my problem.
[00:36] <dr_willis> bringatowel,  and not work at all with the ./ part. :)
[00:37] <tyler_> How can i configure my sound card
[00:37] <plytheman> whats a good gui for samba?
[00:37] <learning22> unop; yes
[00:37] <dr_willis> plytheman,  a gui to do what exactly?
[00:37] <cliechti> plytheman: i browse with nautilus and smb://
[00:37] <bringatowel> plytheman: i like pyneighborhood, do you mean for configuring the server or client?
[00:37] <blak> any help please?
[00:38] <plytheman> i dunno... make my network work?
[00:38] <plytheman> client
[00:38] <xsystemx> dr_willis - any ideas why the port number changes everytime i terminate and restart vnc?
[00:38] <tamer> how i can install install_flash_player_9_linux
[00:38] <learning22> unop; is the find command the same on ubuntu bash as on unix or freebsd systems
[00:38] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  because you are not killing the old one. you are spawning a new one
[00:38] <jrib> tamer: visit http://badgerbadgerbadger.com and click on the yellow bar at the top
[00:38] <plytheman> all I know is I can ping my xp box from any other computer but can't get to anything on it
[00:38] <badfish> i'm supposed to edit 45-libsane.rules but for some reason the file isn't there
[00:38] <unop> learning22, somewhat, the basic syntax is the same - but Gnu find (the one ubuntu uses) has some extra functionality that is not compatible with the BSD find
[00:38] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  vncserver --kill :1  or whatever # it is
[00:38] <cliechti> xsystemx: because you start many vnc severs. use vncserver -kill :1 etc to stop them
[00:38] <bringatowel> plytheman: yeah try smb:// in the file browser (nautilus) or use pyneighborhood if you want to mount the network shares locally
[00:38] <learning22> unop; i see , thanks
[00:39] <geirha> !flash | tamer
[00:39] <dr_willis> vnc is one of those multi-tasking tools - that has a lot of little quirks. :)
[00:40] <xsystemx> thx
[00:40] <bringatowel> tamer: check the readme, the command is something like "sh flash_player_9_linux_install"
[00:40] <xsystemx> dr_willis - last question, know how to change the runlevel of vncserver?
[00:40] <J-n> I'm definetly having Zero luck watching an episode of the simpsons from fox.com. I have tried using user agent switcher, but that has not provided me any improvement. I get to the page and it seems the video is loading... but it just stays there. If anyone has had success in viewing videos from Fox.com please let me know how ya did it :)
[00:40] <bringatowel> tamer: also you can install it from Add / Remove, just enable the 3rd party -nonfree software source
[00:40] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  its not a service. so it dosent have a runlevel - you CAN set up vnc as a service.. but i rarely bother.
[00:40] <badfish> i'm supposed to edit 45-libsane.rules but the file doesn't seem to exist
[00:40] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  i normally ssh to the linux box, run 'vncserver' then connect to the vncserver with a vncclient
[00:41] <puff> jrib: Followed the php5 troubleshooting section.  I alrady have libapache2-mod-php5 installed, but just to be sure I reinstalled it.  "a2enmod php5" reports php5 is already enabled..
[00:41] <unop> xsystemx, you can't change the runlevel of vncserver - i don't think it has such a thing - maybe you mean, how do you change the linux runlevel?
[00:41] <blak> can someone help me with w_supplicant
[00:41] <jrib> puff: the important steps are restarting apache and then clearing the cache in your browser
[00:41] <blak> or 802.1x wifi stuff
[00:41] <xsystemx> unop - I want to be able to select the desktop when connecting via vnc
[00:41] <bringatowel> !ask | blak
[00:42] <badfish> can someone tell me how to make 45-libsane.rules?
[00:42] <plytheman> bringatowel: thanks for the py suggestion, I finally found my shared folders on my other computer
[00:42] <blak> Anyone ever had to setup wireless with peap mschapv2 802.1x at a university? I am having trouble with my university, how might I do this.. i have tried everything in the forums
[00:42] <plytheman> no idea why that's the only way to find it though...
[00:42] <cliechti> xsystemx: there are howtos for setting up vns with xinit. connect with vnc and you have to loging, then the desktop is laoded
[00:42] <dr_willis> xsystemx,  if you mean  select which desktop ot use.. as in 'show gdm' then you could set up vncserver to do that.. i just dont rember how.   I think ive seen the forums mention doing it that way
[00:42] <bringatowel> plytheman: sure thing, i like pyneighborhood alot, it isn't the only way though, there are tons of other options :)
[00:42] <xsystemx> kk, thx
[00:43] <dr_willis> You could alwyas have root run vncserver, and have his xstartup run gdm. BUT that may cause issues.
[00:43] <plytheman> i just dont get why it isn't showing up under 'network places' in ubuntu's normal file browser
[00:43] <puff> jrib: Yeah, I've been restarting apache after every change as I try to troubleshoot this. I'll try clearing my browser cache.
[00:43] <puff> jrib: Oddly enough, clearing the cache did it.
[00:43] <bringatowel> plytheman: you can also use places -> connect to server or just type smb://*serveridaddress* in the file browser
[00:44] <jrib> puff: that's why it's there :)
[00:44] <puff> jrib: I guess it was probalbythe libapache2-mod-php5 reinstall.
[00:44] <bringatowel> plytheman: probably that is for network places which have already been added
[00:44] <dr_willis> plytheman,  ive seen some issues where the gnome file browser just dosent see/show windows shares. ive used other tools and they saw the shares, or i mounted the shares manually and they worked.. just gnomes file manager had isues.. (and i dont know why) :)
[00:44] <bringatowel> !who plytheman
[00:44] <bringatowel> !who | plytheman
[00:44] <puff> jrib: Thanks.
[00:44] <plytheman> i don't know anything about me either =S
[00:45] <tyler_> sound | tyler_
[00:45] <puff> jrib: Well,I was trying to do shift-reload (forces it to not use the cache) but I used Tools/clear private data/cache to clearit and that worked.
[00:45] <bringatowel> plytheman: lol, okay i got the command right the 2nd time ;)
[00:45] <el3allali> hello
[00:45] <plytheman> well, I found my shared drives with pyneighborhood, still can't mount
[00:45] <dr_willis> plytheman,  thats a start. :) at least.
[00:46] <el3allali> i have a big problem with my nvidia graphic card
[00:46] <plytheman> yup
[00:46] <bringatowel> plytheman: you might need to instal smbfs
[00:46] <plytheman> I'm still in the honeymoon phase with ubuntu, so I'm assuming the problem is on the windows side
[00:46] <bringatowel> plytheman: i think its just "apt-get install smbfs"
[00:46] <dr_willis> plytheman,  i tend to use fusesmb to access the windows shares -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb   i just like how it works better then the way the filemanagers do it.
[00:46] <el3allali> i can't set resolution above 640/480, can any one help please ?
[00:46] <cliechti> plytheman: smaba in nautlis works out of the box i think
[00:47] <bobertdos> !res > el3allali
[00:47] <el3allali> ok
[00:48] <badfish> what's the terminal prompt to delete a file?

[00:49] <Timberwolf5578> Why does xchat keep freezing and not showing me any new text??
[00:49] <genius> how to forward tcp port to ssh server inside? i want users to connect internal ssh server seamlessly
[00:50] <cliechti> genius: depends on your router... look how you can forward port 22
[00:50] <genius> cliechti: my router is Ubuntu server with it's own ssh
[00:50] <Timberwolf5578> If you have more than one server open on Xchat, does it tend to freeze?
[00:51] <cliechti> genius: so the users are loggin into that box? or do you want then to log in to a box in your internal network?
[00:51] <hotmonkeyluv> is the kernel kept in the /boot directory? or is it just a pointer to the kernel?
[00:51] <bringatowel> Timberwolf5578: sounds like something is wrong on your computer, but im not sure what :/
[00:52] <genius> cliechti: yes i want. they can't log my box. maybe i will change my sshd port to free 22 port for them
[00:52] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: yes, it IS there
[00:52] <DasEi>  hotmonkeyluv: the kernelimage is found in /boot/vmlinuz
[00:52] <blak> did all this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249654      --- no luck ... any ideas? Network wants me to enter wep key.. there is none
[00:52] <hotmonkeyluv> crap
[00:52] <Timberwolf5578> If I keep only Freenode open, it doesn't freeze, but if I connect to another server too, new text just stops coming
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Timberwolf5578 try /j #xchat
[00:53] <cliechti> genius: if you are running it as firewall/router you may want to use iptables to set up a port forward
[00:53] <hotmonkeyluv> cliechti, DasEi: so, um, if I say....deleted the /boot partition, is there a way to get the kernel back?
[00:53] <genius> cliechti: oh! o forgot about them
[00:53] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: dont reboot then ;-) and reinstall the "linux" package
[00:54] <hotmonkeyluv> well, it's a little late for that cliechti
[00:54] <hotmonkeyluv> darn it
[00:54] <hotmonkeyluv> could I start the live cd and then fix it?
[00:54] <tonyyarusso> hotmonkeyluv: possibly.
[00:54] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: boot from a live CD and "chroot" to your disk to run the installation
[00:54] <OrangeKyo> ubuntu uses gnome, and kubuntu uses kde right? if i want to use kalarm, do i need to get kde, since i have ubuntu right now. is there a gnome equivalent for kalarm? i just want a quick prog that will set an alarm from the command line
[00:54] <DasEi>  hotmonkeyluv:if you new the version, maybe, but inetrd could be a problem
[00:54] <DasEi> *knew
[00:55] <hotmonkeyluv> DasEi:  it's hardy
[00:55] <blak> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249654   did all of this and still cannot connect to university wifi, wondering if anyone else might know why i would still nnot be able to connect?
[00:55] <jrib> OrangeKyo: APT will automatically install anything you need to use kalarm
[00:55] <tonyyarusso> hotmonkeyluv: yeah, what he said.  Although you may get weirdness from the package manager, but you should be able to pull it off.
[00:55] <badfish> is it generally advisable to change the usb mode from 0664 to 0666 in 40-basic-permissions.rules?
[00:55] <DasEi>  hotmonkeyluv: the exact kernelversion?  e.g. 2.6.24-16-server
[00:56] <hotmonkeyluv> cliechti:  what does the chroot do?
[00:56] <fxhp> Does anyone else have trouble with viewing myspace in ubuntu,  When I point to a site, it slows down all other websites untill said myspace page is finished loading...
[00:56] <fxhp> Doesn
[00:56] <fxhp> 't happen in windows
[00:56] <tonyyarusso> fxhp: That's your punishment for looking at myspace.
[00:56] <tonyyarusso> It's intentional.
[00:56] <hotmonkeyluv> DasEi:  I don't know
[00:56] <badfish> fxhp: i haven't noticed anythign like that
[00:56] <badfish> is it generally advisable to change the usb mode from 0664 to 0666 in 40-basic-permissions.rules?
[00:56] <bringatowel> is there any way to determine, from the command line, what speed the lan is connected (10mbps or 100mbps)?
[00:56] <bringatowel> fxhp: are you using FireFox 3?
[00:56] <blak> Does anyone know where I can find people who know about using 802.1x security over wifi  that can help me out?
[00:57] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: it "moves" the root (that is /) to your disk. so it is as if you hadd booted from your disk and it will use all the settings from your installation. i.e. all you apt-get in the chroot will be installed on the disk, not in the live system
[00:57] <DasEi>  hotmonkeyluv: are you in hardy now ? deleted it from there while system is still up ?
[00:57] <fxhp> bringatowel:  Yes, ff3, but ff2 does the same thing.  I don't use myspace often, but its a hassle when I let others use my computer.
[00:57] <hotmonkeyluv> DasEi:  no, i'm on a different computer
[00:58] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: i guess it should be possible to "chroot /media/diskyxx" then run "apt-get install --reinstall linux" and "update-grub" to fix it
[00:58] <hotmonkeyluv> cliechti:  so would I make chroot to / or to /boot?
[00:58] <murdok> I can't believe it. I don't want ssb to be loaded on boot. I have blacklisted it -> continued being loaded. But now I have removed it and it continues being loaded. Any idea?? :S
[00:58] <matrix> hi all,  how do i know what is my wlan mode is ?
[00:59] <matrix> like the current mode it is set on.
[00:59] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: you use chroot to enter the partition your linux was installed. that is the level where you see /etc, /home, /usr ...
[00:59] <DasEi>  hotmonkeyluv: once you have it dleted and down, a fresh install next to a chroot-riot via live cd would be easiest then, important files on that broken pc ?
[00:59] <clint_> why did ub8 go is pidgin insted of gaim
[00:59] <filthpig> could I bother someone to recommend northbridge/southbridge combos for a perfect Ubuntu experience? I'm trying to write a guide on what motherboards to look for when buying a new PC, but the info on the net is very scattered. Yes, I've tried the ubuntu docs, but it has very limited info
[00:59] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: the disk has to be mounted, but thats probably easy with the ubuntu live cd, just clock the disk icon :-)
[00:59] <bringatowel> fxhp: ff3 should be fastest, if that is still slow im not sure what to suggest, you can use a plugin to block flash loading which speeds things up alot, but idk why it would be so slow in the first place
[00:59] <hotmonkeyluv> DasEi:  not a whole lot of important stuff, but lots of config troubles
[01:00] <Jacobbs> Man, my USB keyboard works for navigating the BIOS, but fails when I use the ASUS Boot Loader
[01:00] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: then.. maybe just copy /home and /etc as backup and start over to get a "new" clean ubuntu install? ;-)
[01:00] <DasEi> ...
[01:00] <hotmonkeyluv> cliechti:  what is in the /etc?
[01:01] <DasEi> config
[01:01] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: system wide settings.
[01:01] <hotmonkeyluv> oh
[01:01] <blak> why does no one adress my question?
[01:01] <matrix> cliechti, do u know how to see the current mode the wlan is set on  ? using iwconfig maybe ?
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !patience > blak
[01:01] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: mopst of it should be fine after a new install, but sometimes its good to have a lokk at the old config :-)
[01:01] <hotmonkeyluv> hey, i'm a noob here. (else i wouldn't have deleted /boot in the first place
[01:01] <colika> hi all. i have a question i hope somebody can answer me or cAN help me to solve it , it is a kind of network problem

[01:02] <cliechti> badfish: nope, but it simply worked for me. pluging in usb scanner running xscane, scan

[01:11] <el3allali> hello, please can any one help me to setup my nvidia driver correctly ?
[01:12] <jedimind> i installed nvidia drivers from nvidia's site; and they work great but every time i reboot, ubuntu doesnt recognize my display and prompts the 'configure now' popup before login, and doesnt let me set a resolution (only 640x480) so i have to kill x, install the drivers, and start X again in the same session every single reboot....
[01:12] <jedimind> any ideas?
[01:12] <szal> Digg: that's what the alternate CD is for
[01:12] <el3allali> my resolution is horrible
[01:12] <hotmonkeyluv> Digg:  yeah, I think so, go into options when you first start, might be there
[01:12] <blistov> what gnome application will start a new x session?
[01:12] <jedimind> el3allali: are you using a dvi connector to your display?
[01:12] <Digg> szal: thanks.. but dang.. i cant find any empty cd's hehe
[01:12] <hotmonkeyluv> jedimind:  i had that same problem
[01:12] <cliechti> hotmonkeyluv: maybe you can install it over the previous installation, but i'd never do that without a backup of my precious data in /home
[01:12] <jedimind> hotmonkeyluv: how'd you fix it ?
[01:12] <Digg> hotmonkeyluv: oh i check it out

[01:37] <ubuntutlups> hi i did this to get the checkSUM
[01:37] <puff> Lately (roughly since I switched to hardy) firefox seems to be beating the bejezus out of my CPU and memory.
[01:37] <lwizardl> anyone here setup a cash register on Linux ?
[01:37] <ubuntutlups>  md5sum ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso
[01:38] <ubuntutlups> and got the key.
[01:38] <ubuntutlups> bbd21ded02c06b41c59485266833937a  ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso
[01:38] <lwizardl> puff, same here
[01:38] <ubuntutlups> but i dont know if its the right key.
[01:38] <ubuntutlups> because i burn it onto a CD and did Cd verify and it got an error
[01:38] <puff> It's really annoying... firefox itself is slow as heck now.
[01:39] <tyler_> yasurmoto: When i type ALSAMIXER in terminal i get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[01:39] <toabctl> Mr_Fixit, sorry for the answer, but it's possible to use 2 connections at the same time. but not with network manager.
[01:39] <Edulix> hi
[01:39] <puff> And this is on a thinkpad with a 2.13Ghz pentiumM and 2GB of ram!
[01:40] <Edulix> I've got the adobe flash plugin activated, but I want to try gnash, how to do that? I've got it already installed..
[01:40] <toabctl> Mr_Fixit, but it's a bit diffucult to do and you can not use networkmanager anymore. so wait 1 month for 8.10, then networkmanager can do.
[01:40] <DasEi> ubuntulups: so go again to downlaod location and compare md5, most times is bad burning the fault
[01:41] <Mr_Fixit> well i am a patient man toabctl...
[01:42] <BrianFox_> is it possible to tell grub to install to the mbr of a disk other than the first disk?
[01:43] <cliechti> Edulix: in firefox you can control the plugins using extras->add ons -> plugins tab. just deactivate the one you dont want
[01:43] <Gekitsuu> BrianFox_: I think you just do grub-install /dev/hda  or what ever device you want to install to
[01:43] <kwyjibo> where is the gedit binary stored
[01:43] <Guest49222> is there a way i can extend my desktop, create different resolution settings, different wallpaper etc. onto a monitor. does a program exist to assist me with this
[01:43] <cliechti> kwyjibo: try "which gedit"
[01:43] <BrianFox_> Gekitsuu, the doco i found says that this puts the grub images to that location, but still uses the primary mbr
[01:43] <kwyjibo> cliechti, thank you :)
[01:44] <toabctl> Edulix, you have to install mozilla-plugin-gnash.
[01:44] <AthlonFanBoy> is it possible to have a swap file?
[01:44] <toabctl> Edulix, then you can run on the console: sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin
[01:44] <cliechti> AthlonFanBoy: yes
[01:44] <BrianFox_> i can tell my system to boot from another disk, but can't seem to get grub on that mbr
[01:44] <genius> anyone familiar with iptables? i want to forward port inside the network with nat. do i have to use masquerading?
[01:45] <Strang3r> hi to all
[01:45] <Strang3r> :)
[01:45] <TimStarling> "The list of changes is not available yet. Please try again later."
[01:45] <nate-> is there a way i can extend my desktop, create different resolution settings, different wallpaper etc. onto a monitor. does a program exist to assist me with this
[01:45] <Strang3r> is there somebody ?
[01:45] <TimStarling> why does this happen?
[01:45] <nate-> sorry i had changed names and somethin screwed up
[01:45] <Strang3r> nate ?
[01:45] <cliechti> genius: masquerading *is" NAT. its waht you use for the outgoing connection. port forwatind is somethink elese, i think (long ago i used iptables myself)
[01:46] <nate-> yes?
[01:46] <AthlonFanBoy> How small should i shrink my 500GB ntfs partition?
[01:46] <Strang3r> do u have the ubuntu installed with Virtualbox
[01:46] <Strang3r> ?
[01:46] <Tramp> masquerading is SNAT, port forwarding is DNAT
[01:46] <nate-> any idea
[01:46] <nate-> ?
[01:46] <Strang3r> do u have the normal instalation of Ubuntu
[01:47] <Strang3r> or u have installed it
[01:47] <Strang3r> in virtualbox ?
[01:47] <cliechti> nate-: system preferences -> screen resolution should be able to configre multi screen environments on recent ubunuts
[01:47] <nate-> okie doke
[01:47] <Strang3r> yeah, but if it`s installed in virtualbox
[01:47] <Strang3r> this won`t help
[01:47] <Strang3r> whatever
[01:47] <nate-> no its regular install
[01:47] <Strang3r> can somebody tell me some good torrent client ?
[01:47] <genius> cliechti: no you are wrong. there is DNAT that can be masqueraded too. so internal clients see internal ip
[01:47] <badfish> what's the terminal command to move a file?
[01:47] <SoccerCore11> mv
[01:47] <toabctl> genius, see: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/73   very small article
[01:48] <toabctl> badfish, mv
[01:48] <luis08> hey everyone! please help, I need to rsh into other machines in my network, but I keep getting "conenction refused" errors... I've already installed all kinds of packages related to rsh, ssh, openssh, servers... no luck!! please help
[01:48] <el3allali> hello twice
[01:48] <cliechti> genius: ok, sorry then. i saw applications like fiorestarer that could help you building these rules. would that be easier?
[01:48] <SoccerCore11> need help disabling modules in intrepid kernel compile
[01:48] <genius> toabctl: that article has mistakes. look comments. and it does not work for me :((
[01:48] <nate-> deluge
[01:48] <toabctl> luis08, what commands you tried?
[01:48] <el3allali> EnvyNG didn't fix my problem with my nvidia gc
[01:49] <AthlonFanBoy> how big should / be with swap file? I plan to make a 400GB /home
[01:49] <nate-> its like a replica of utorrent
[01:49] <J-n> !torrent |  Strang3r
[01:49] <nate-> my fave
[01:49] <genius> cliechti: i use server ver
[01:49] <luis08> toabctl: rsh machine   trying ssh machine works fine
[01:49] <SoccerCore11> how do we disable the connects and disconnects messages?
[01:49] <gluonman> Does anyone know how I can configure vmware so that my guest Windows XP can connect wirelessly?
[01:49] <toabctl> luis08, and when ssh works fine, whats the problem?
[01:50] <luis08> toabctl: I need rsh, not ssh
[01:50] <nate-> okay i still cant get this right...
[01:50] <Bogus8> why does my fat32 formated usb flash drive show up like this? http://www.pastebin.ca/1205456
[01:50] <toabctl> luis08, ok. but rsh is unsecure. but im sure you know;)
[01:50] <luis08> toabctl: I know, but I still need it
[01:50] <nate-> it isnt reading there is a monitor
[01:50] <nate-> attached
[01:50] <SoccerCore11> gluonman, i recommend virtualbox instead of vmware, but you need to set your network to NAT, as long as you can connect wirelessly with ubuntu
[01:51] <chris______> 1 million dollar question: is there a file system readable/writable by both windows and macOS that allows filesizes over 4 gig?
[01:51] <toabctl> luis08, are you sure that on the remote machine is an rsh server running and an open port?
[01:51] <nate-> yes.
[01:51] <AthlonFanBoy> chris______: ext3 i think
[01:51] <nate-> yeah
[01:51] <nate-> haha
[01:51] <chris______> AthlonFanBoy: xp cant see ext3
[01:51] <nate-> yea it can
[01:51] <luis08> toabctl: well, the packages are installed, but I'm not sure which port rsh uses
[01:51] <gluonman> SoccerCore11, since I installed my VMWare Windows, I've received hundreds of recommendations for VirtualBox. Oh well. But I will go ahead and try what you said. But the other things that I needed to figure out is support for sound and video hardware with the guest OS.
[01:51] <Bogus8> sure it can
[01:52] <AthlonFanBoy> it can see ext2
[01:52] <nate-> gotta install the driver thats all
[01:52] <AthlonFanBoy> ext3 is backwards compatiable with ext2
[01:52] <Strang3r> can somebody tell me what`s the terminal comand
[01:52] <nate-> gay xp> and its drivers
[01:52] <Strang3r> to create a text file
[01:52] <toabctl> luis08, try "sudo lsof -i -n" to see all open ports on a machine.
[01:52] <AthlonFanBoy> no
[01:52] <Strang3r> ?
[01:52] <Strang3r> pls ...
[01:52] <AthlonFanBoy> o nm
[01:52] <el3allali> what's going wrong between ubuntu and nvidia gc ?!!
[01:52] <Strang3r> i just installed the ubuntu for first time :/
[01:52] <MrD> Hi does any one know any good free rpg games for ubuntu
[01:52] <toabctl> luis08, if you don't have access to the rsh-server machine, you have to use a portscanner.
[01:52] <SoccerCore11> gluonman, virtualbox is a 22meg dl, give it a shot ;)
[01:52] <badfish> will mv move a directory?
[01:52] <chris______> and macOS can read ext3 aswell?
[01:53] <MrD> virtualbox is alot better
[01:53] <gluonman> SoccerCore11, actualy, is it possible to take my existing Windows XP and open it in VirtualBox? Or would I have to reinstall Windows?
[01:53] <SoccerCore11> yes, you can actually :)
[01:53] <Bogus8> it's based off unix why not
[01:53] <MrD> gluonman, yes it is possible
[01:53] <onx> chris______, osx is actually unix based
[01:53] <Jinko> mv does move directories, badfish.
[01:54] <CorbinFox> wacom tablets work fine under 8.04, right?  and should I try the upgrade feature for 7.10 or just delete the 7.10 partition and and install in the empty space
[01:54] <gluonman> MrD, SoccerCore11, cool. I'll give it a try.
[01:54] <chris______> onx: that does not mean it "wants" to read foreign file systems
[01:54] <SoccerCore11> gluonman, you just set virtualbox to use the premade HD image
[01:54] <luis08> toabctl: it's strange, I don't see an rsh daemon in "/etc/init.d/"... it should be there, right?
[01:54] <gluonman> SoccerCore11, VirtualBox will automatically support the sound and video hardware and wireless automatically?
[01:54] <Bogus8> chris______: windows doesn't WANT to read ext3 but it CAN
[01:54] <onx> chris______, it means you can whip it into shape though :)
[01:55] <ubuntutlups> i got a small question how do i burn the image using the default burner of Linux.
[01:55] <ubuntutlups> it says write to disc
[01:55] <SoccerCore11> video yes, sound, not so sure, wireless - you just piggyback off your current connection through linux
[01:55] <ubuntutlups> but it gives me 2 options
[01:55] <chris______> ok thanks for your help guys... will find out how to teach xp to read/write ext3:)
[01:55] <gluonman> SoccerCore11, thank you very much.
[01:56] <carandraug> ubuntutlups: just right click on the image and select burn to disc
[01:56] <rosaunterhose> hi. i have USB-Floppy Drive ( /dev/sda ) and would like to execute this command to it: dd if=<source image> of=/dev/fd0u1722  how can i get it to work?
[01:56] <Macro_Zzz> Bogus8, really? where can i get this ext3 for windows?
[01:56] <chris______> if you say OSX is fine with it...
[01:56] <toabctl> luis08, i don't know. i never tried rsh
[01:56] <ubuntutlups> DVD A DH20A3P and File Image
[01:56] <gluonman> SoccerCore11, I'll be back if I run into problems I can't fix on my own.
[01:56] <SoccerCore11> gluonman, there is a CD image that you can mount to install more drivers, just like in vmware
[01:56] <Bogus8> Macro_Zzz: not sure off top of my head... done it before... google
[01:56] <bobertdos> ubuntutlups: the first one
[01:56] <Dragon> My sound isn't working...I've been fooling with the sound mixers and settings but its still broken, I'm using headphones.
[01:56] <ubuntutlups> bobertdos thanks..
[01:56] <carandraug> ubuntutlups: choose DVD A DH20A3P the other one will create another iso
[01:56] <gluonman> SoccerCore11, can I get the ISO for that somewhere?
[01:56] <whileimhee> closed both of my panels. How can I get one back?
[01:57] <ubuntutlups> so the first one will burn the image as bottable and the other will make another ISO image right ?
[01:57] <SoccerCore11> anyone with knowledge of kernel compiling?
[01:57] <Jinko> Dragon, have you tried logging out and back in?
[01:57] <Dragon> Jinko: yes
[01:57] <bobertdos> ubuntutlups: correct
[01:57] <toabctl> SoccerCore11, ubuntu-kernel or  from kernel.org ?
[01:57] <SoccerCore11> gluonman, its included, just install tools from the menu, you will figure it out
[01:57] <Dragon> Jinko: Is there a way to set all the defaults on mixers and what not
[01:57] <XArcade> hi, i downloaded the Ubuntu Desktop Edition and i was wondering if i can connect to it remotely, the video chip on the computer i want to use ubuntu on is dead, can i connect to ubuntu using vnc ?
[01:57] <badfish> what about changing permissions?
[01:57] <ubuntutlups> thanks bobertdos also this question is this key up to date ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[01:58] <SoccerCore11> toabctl, ubuntu, from synaptic, intrepid
[01:58] <outbri> XArcade: yes
[01:58] <gluonman> SoccerCore11, I see. Thank you.
[01:58] <ubuntutlups> because i did check it and was right...
[01:58] <droopsta915> what does a hardy heron DVD do?
[01:58] <ubuntutlups> bobertdos bbd21ded02c06b41c59485266833937a         ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso
[01:58] <szal> droopsta915: are you kidding?
[01:58] <Jinko> Dragon:  Right-clicking the volume icon and clicking "Volume control" is the only way I know, I'm afraid.
[01:59] <onx> XArcade, vnc works, but might wanna give NX a try. more options there
[01:59] <XArcade> outbri, can you give me the user/password please
[01:59] <droopsta915> szal: yeah, im kidding. I thought this was a chat for questions and answers, not smart asses
[01:59] <Jinko> badfish: You'd need to chown.
[01:59] <carandraug> badfish: chmod or chown
[01:59] <XArcade> onx, nx ?
[01:59] <bobertdos> ubuntutlups: I would certainly think so, unless there's a different key for .1, but I wouldn't think there would be.......
[02:00] <droopsta915> what does a hardy heron DVD do? is it just the OS?
[02:00] <toabctl> SoccerCore11, you read this ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[02:00] <Macro_Zzz> droopsta915, its the install disc
[02:00] <carandraug> droopsta915: yes. But has some extra packages. It's best if you have no internet access
[02:00] <outbri> XArcade: you have to set that yourself
[02:00] <rosaunterhose> hi. i have USB-Floppy Drive ( /dev/sda ) and would like to execute this command to it: dd if=<source image> of=/dev/fd0u1722  how can i get it to work?
[02:00] <outbri> XArcade System>Preferences>Remote Destop
[02:01] <onx> XArcade, google "freeNX" and "nomachine", first one is free but lagging a bit behind the commercial product (which is free to use with little limitations(
[02:01] <hadi57> hi, how to make a bootable flash form iso file
[02:01] <droopsta915> thanx, i was just wondeing because i saw that it was for sale, i do have the 8.04 install disk, i guess i wont be purchasing a DVD. thanx again
[02:01] <woli> is there a music player that will organize my music in folders by /artist/album/song ?
[02:01] <bobertdos> !dvd > hadi57
[02:01] <bobertdos> oops
[02:01] <carandraug> !usb > hadi57
[02:01] <hadi57> ok
[02:01] <XArcade> onx, ok thanks.
[02:01] <Jinko> woli:  You might like to try Amarok.
[02:01] <rosaunterhose> hi. i have USB-Floppy Drive ( /dev/sda ) and would like to execute this command to it: dd if=<source image> of=/dev/fd0u1722  how can i get it to work?
[02:02] <XArcade> outbri, how do i set it up myself ? (once ubuntu is running i guess?)
[02:02] <SoccerCore11> toabctl, i hove read alot of things, 16 hrs + on it, any makeconfig changes i do makes the kernel unbootable, couldnt find anything online about it
[02:02] <woli> Jinko: does exile organize music also?
[02:02] <Jinko> woli:  Wouldn't know, I'm afraid, not used it.
[02:02] <carandraug> hadi57: sorry. I've reread your message. In my country when we say flash we actually mean usb stick. Opps
[02:02] <outbri> XArcade: once you have vnc installed you should be able to go to where I directed you in the last message, and it will have a place for you to enter a password
[02:02] <onx> Jinko, it does, and it doesn't need kde libs
[02:02] <woli> i've heard that its based on amarok... but for gtk... nvm: ill look it up
[02:03] <SoccerCore11> toabctl, i get the splash screen just fine, whin its time for the desktop to appear, i just get an unresponsive flashing cursor
[02:03] <toabctl> SoccerCore11, hm.i never had problems with that. maybe you change the wrong flags in makeconfig?
[02:03] <hadi57> ok usb stic the same
[02:04] <toabctl> SoccerCore11, so the kernel boots well, right?
[02:04] <CorbinFox> is there an easy way to backup everything on ubuntu to an external hard drive? or will it be me copy and pasting everything manually
[02:04] <hadi57> i want to create a bootable usb stic form a iso file
[02:04] <SoccerCore11> toabctl, only enabling and disabling a few modules, ty for the help
[02:04] <Jacobbs> So, legacy USB support made my kb work in ASUS boot utility, but I'm gettting that initramfs prompt thing happening
[02:04] <Jacobbs> I never get the chance to see a "menu" though
[02:04] <wers> i had fsck problems. now I cant boot my ubuntu hardy. it says that "unable to resolve "uuid.. blah blah""
[02:05] <wers> any idea on how to fix it? do i just reformat?
[02:05] <Jacobbs> The ubuntu thing pops up, does the bouncy bar thing, then gives me busybox\
[02:05] <Unbe> Hey, all--is there a way to see what options a module has been loaded with?
[02:05] <toabctl> wers, try to start recovery mode and run fschk again.
[02:05] <wers> toabctl, did that
[02:06] <wers> for a number of times
[02:06] <XArcade> outbri, i dont get it, is vnc already installed on ubuntu cd and running when system starts or do i have to install vnc ON ubuntu once it is running ? i am using windows to connect to ubuntu using vnc
[02:06] <szal> wers: get a live CD (preferably something other than *buntu), boot it up, look in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ whether your root partition's UUID has changed (by comparing it with that written in /etc/fstab) and, if necessary, change it in /etc/fstab
[02:06] <EvilDaemon> What is the command to 'move to trash'
[02:07] <woli> does anybody here use exaile?
[02:07] <woli> i want to know if it organizes music in the folder...
[02:07] <toabctl> wers, hm. maybe you have to install you bootloader new? but im not sure.
[02:07] <outbri> XArcade: not sure myself. you can open up a terminal and type in vnc and hit tab, if a few different vnc options don't show up, then you'll have to install it
[02:07] <Jinko> woli:  Do you mean reordering them at their location?  ie: In your music folder?
[02:07] <woli> Jinko: yes
[02:08] <Jacobbs> I'm not getting the menu to come up on the live install CD
[02:08] <woli> Jinko: like if i have a song of van halen in the best of both worlds album, i want it to be placed under /Van Halen/Best of Both Worlds/song.mp3
[02:08] <woli> in the music folder...
[02:09] <wers> szal, i'm on my windows partition right now. i can do it here, right?
[02:09] <XArcade> outbri, what i am trying to do here is to connect to Ubuntu machine because the machine where Ubuntu will be running has no video display on it  (no screen, video chip is dead and video card not working)
[02:09] <Unbe> Alternately, if I have a module listed in /etc/modules, should it automatically take the options listed in /etc/modules.d/options?
[02:09] <outbri> XArcade: can you ssh to it?
[02:09] <Jinko> woli: Not that I know of.  As far as I knew, music players only organised how the songs are displayed in the program.  I don't know of any that reorganise your actual files.
[02:10] <XArcade> outbri, so i need to know if Ubuntu already has VNC installed and running and i just need to enter pass and user from windows machine to connect to it over the netwrok
[02:10] <woli> Jinko: so amarok does not accomplish that either?
[02:10] <szal> wers: if you have an ext filesystem driver for Windblows, you _can_ do it from within Windblows..  but I'd rather not recommend that as the ext drivers for Win appear to be a bit flaky and may cause data loss
[02:10] <XArcade> outbri, i dont know, i think i will have to download the x64 ubuntu because i have x32 only.
[02:10] <outbri> XArcade: from your windows machine you should be able to try to vnc to its ip address, if it doesn't work it isn't installed
[02:10] <case^> does hamachi work in 8.04?
[02:11] <Jinko> woli: Nope.  Only thing I know that does that is sound extractor, as it is extracting the songs, and that's not what you're after.
[02:11] <outbri> XArcade: no, x32 should work fine for it
[02:11] <Jacobbs> I can't press F6 :/
[02:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok i'm trying to install ubuntu on this toshiba satelllite model 1805-s204
[02:11] <woli> Jinko: nope...
[02:11] <Jacobbs> I never get there
[02:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> it has windows xp on it
[02:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> i stuck in the alternate cd and it said non disk or disk error change disk andpress any key to continue
[02:12] <XArcade> outbri
[02:12] <XArcade> ok
[02:12] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i tried the livecd and it gave me the same output
[02:12] <wers> oh my. szal, i can access other ext3 partitions but windows says that my ubuntu root partition is not formatted and it's asking me if i want to format it
[02:12] <Jacobbs> I'm using a live cd dvd, would that matter?
[02:12] <szal> wers: that screams for a fsck run --> no way around a live CD
[02:13] <exophonix> salut je vien de macheté un 2e disque  dur et je ne suis pas capable dy accedé
[02:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok i got it to load the livecd
[02:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> now it's loading
[02:13] <Jinko> woli:  Wouldn't know how you'd do that except manually, then, sorry.  I suppose if you consistently name all of your songs very well, then you could possibly write a script that'd do it for you, but I wouldn't be sure where to start with that either, apologies.
[02:13] <szal> !fr | exophonix
[02:13] <wers> szal, what do you mean, i do a fsck again? :D
[02:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> i just selected the try out ubuntu without installing option
[02:14] <Dragon> My mixers and what not are messed up I cannot hear anything from my headphones?
[02:16] <abhijeet> hey guys does any one know "yet" to change the font on the log on screen
[02:16] <pauljr> Dragon, did you run alsamixer in terminal?
[02:16] <abhijeet> I tried the log on prefrences but that doesn't have anything
[02:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok, as i said i'm trying to install ubuntu on a toshiba satelllite model 1805-s204 andi just got the livecd to boot up, it's just loading the gui, it's a very slow laptop with only 256 mb ram and a 5 gb hard drive, but one thing i notice is that the image is smaller than the size of the screen, about an inch frame of black surrounds the border of the gui for some reason
[02:19] <^paradox^> i just added a gig of ram and a geforce 6200 video card. can anyone help me set up compiz fusion
[02:19] <chubs> CostaRicanQuaker, if it's still installing don't worry about it now
[02:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok
[02:19] <Jacobbs> Anyone know what's going on with my install? >.<
[02:20]  * CostaRicanQuaker clicks on install
[02:20] <Jacobbs> I get the busybox "error", but there are no error messages.

[02:23] <Jacobbs> Jack, the thing is, I can't get to the menu
[02:23] <osama> hello
[02:23] <Jacobbs> The Ubuntu logo pops up, and does the bouncy orange bar thing
[02:23] <Jacobbs> Then it shoots me over to busybox with (initramfs)
[02:23] <HaSH> hello all. i have dvd files(the whole video_ts folder) but the main language is spanish..but it also has a english language too.....how can i remove the spanish soundtrack? or at least make the english on the default
[02:23] <Jacobbs> I tried pressing F6 a lot, same result.
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Jacobbs you dont get the first start or install screen
[02:23] <Jacobbs> Nope.
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Jacobbs livecd?
[02:23] <Jacobbs> I have the ISO burned onto a dvd
[02:24] <Jacobbs> Someone said it would work @.@
[02:24] <Jacobbs> I mean, could that be the problem?
[02:24] <chubs> no it's fine
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Jacobbs but that was the cd.iso right
[02:24] <Jacobbs> yep
[02:24] <chubs> as long as you have a dvd drive
[02:24] <Jacobbs> I do chubs
[02:24] <case^> burnt as an iso
[02:24] <Jacobbs> yea
[02:24] <chubs> then that isn't the problem, unless you burned it incorrectly
[02:24] <szal> chubs: well, how to burn to a DVD blank w/o a DVD drive? :D
[02:24] <Jacobbs> virtual drive E:\ comes up with Ubuntu stuff
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> chubs I have never personally burned a cd.iso to a dvd
[02:25] <chubs> szal, could be two different computers, just checking :)
[02:25] <Jacobbs> oh oyu know what
[02:25] <Jacobbs> I'm an idiot
[02:25] <chubs> Jack_Sparrow, I have.
[02:25] <duxbarak> is there an easy way to bridge two ethernet cards?
[02:25] <Jacobbs> I think I burned the CD to contain the ISO
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> chubs thanks
[02:25] <Jacobbs> and not actually as "the cd"
[02:25] <szal> hehe
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Jacobbs :)
[02:25] <Jacobbs> okay
[02:25] <Jacobbs> let me figure this out now :P
[02:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok it says installing system
[02:26] <Jacobbs> I don't think Nero lets me do that
[02:26] <Dragon> al
[02:26] <Jacobbs> does it?
[02:26] <Dragon> I've tried a few different terminal commands and what not and i still cannot hear anything?
[02:26] <Daisuke_Ido> Jacobbs: burn image
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !burn
[02:27] <Jacobbs> Thanks Jack
[02:27] <Dragon> Is there any way to reset all mixers and settings to defaults

[02:28] <eduardojm> how upgrade from ubuntu 7.04 to 8.04 with update manager?
[02:28] <duxbarak> is there an easy way to bridge two ethernet cards in my comp?
[02:29] <chubs> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade eduardojm
[02:29] <eduardojm> this upgrade to 7.10... :(
[02:29] <keevie> dxbarak: this http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/08/howto-share-internet-connections-in.html works brilliantly
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> chubs what about 7-10
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> eduardojm you need to do both
[02:29] <duxbarak> ty
[02:29] <keevie> sorry, duxbarak
[02:29] <pawan> hi
[02:30] <chubs> eduardojm, you're better off upgrading 8.04 from a cd, preferably a fresh install thoguh
[02:30] <chubs> eduardojm, otherwise you'll have to run that twice iirc

[02:34] <CostaRicanQuaker> this*
[02:34] <hacker3141> check the harddrive for errors
[02:34] <duxbarak> Costa: and try reformating

[02:35] <CostaRicanQuaker> how? well it seems like it's whats...wait it says Guided rsize ide mater and what it shows is new partition size 17.8 gb 99% of disk

[02:37] <Hyperion2010> grrr, why can ubuntu have nice and friendly text files to edit like everyone else :(
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> keevie YOur video card drivers are not setup correctly
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Hyperion2010 most are.
[02:37] <carpediem> Hyperion2010: whatever do you mean?
[02:37] <Hyperion2010> aside from anything hooked to a daemon
[02:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok now i'm deleting the partition
[02:37] <chubs> Hyperion2010, because slackware already exists
[02:37] <keevie> I used envy
[02:37] <Hyperion2010> haha
[02:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> where the ntsf file system was
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> keevie envy from our repos?
[02:38] <keevie> yes
[02:38] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok the new partition i'm creating on the new space
[02:38] <hacker3141> is there a terminal command to install libraries from the ubuntu server?
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> keevie did you try the online envy first.. That can cause mixed results
[02:38] <CostaRicanQuaker> should it be primary or logical?
[02:38] <hacker3141> primaty
[02:38] <hacker3141> primary*
[02:38] <keevie> but i had used nvidia x-server setting first to get my other screen working
[02:38] <CostaRicanQuaker> and should it be at the begining or end?
[02:38] <loquitus_of_bor1> Hey people. I was wondering. If I am ssh'ed into a machine, how do I run an X11 process that displays on THAT machine's screen?
[02:38] <hacker3141> dosent matter
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> CostaRicanQuaker How many partitions are already on the drive?
[02:39] <v3ctor> loquitus_of_bor1: use `ps -ef` to find the process and get the process id number
[02:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> what about (2 free space and /dev/hda5 swap) the mount point?
[02:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> which should be the mount point?
[02:39] <duxbarak>  /
[02:39] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: there is some env variable that defines which display X output should go to....
[02:39] <v3ctor> loquitus_of_bor1: then send a signal to it and make it die
[02:40] <hacker3141> CostRicanQuaker are you planning on keeping another system on the computer?
[02:40] <carpediem> v3ctor: that's not what he's asking.
[02:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> hacker3141, nope
[02:40] <loquitus_of_bor1> v3ctor: I am not trying to kill it.
[02:40] <v3ctor> sorry...
[02:40] <loquitus_of_bor1> carpediem: if I am ssh'ed onto a server someplace remote, I would know what that variable is?
[02:40] <hacker3141> CostaRicanQuaker there should be an option before that should let you do a guided partition of the entire drive
[02:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes, i just did that
[02:41] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: sec, let me think for a sec, I'll remember....
[02:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> nowi'm trying to install again
[02:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> it's detecting file systems
[02:41] <keevie> Jack_Sparrow: any suggestions on how i can get both screens working AND compiz?
[02:41] <DasEi> !ch>DasEi
[02:41] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1:  its the $DISPLAY
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !dualhead
[02:41] <DasEi> !er>DasEi
[02:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> now it just said the ext3 file system creation in partition # of the ide1 maste hda failed
[02:42] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: if you set it to the right value, it should go to that display.....
[02:42] <DasEi> !ru>DasEi
[02:42] <chubs> DasEi, /msg ubottu !
[02:42] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: this is a good explanation  http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/ssh/guide/node29.html
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> CostaRicanQuaker # Use a live cd..At start or install press F6 add all_generic_ide before the "--"
[02:42] <DasEi> chubs: ?
[02:43] <loquitus_of_bor1> thanks carpediem
[02:43] <chubs> if you're messing with commands just message ubottu outside of the channel, don't flood it
[02:43] <hacker3141> is there terminal command to install libraries from the ubuntu server?
[02:43] <keevie> Jack_Sparrow: so should i completely restore my xorg, then run envy, then try to get both monitors to work?
[02:43] <danbh_intrepid> !askthebot > DasEi
[02:43] <DasEi> chubs: was looking for chinese channel, but got it , anyway
[02:43] <chubs> !cn
[02:43] <Jack_Sparrow> keevie I have not bothered with dual monitors, but those links should have good info
[02:43] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: that tutorial is geered more at remote X, but the technique for local is pretty much the same.
[02:43] <DasEi> (brain-file)
[02:43] <abhijeet> Hey what was that command line again mate
[02:43] <keevie> thanks
[02:43] <danbh_intrepid> hacker3141: arent there tons of libraries?  what libraries do you want to install?
[02:44] <hacker3141> i am trying to compile a program and i need libraries that i do not have. i need a terminal command to install those
[02:44] <danbh_intrepid> hacker3141: build-essential
[02:44] <mEck0> hi! what does "stop_untied=" mean in the .rtorrent.rc file?
[02:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> Jack_Sparrow,  i just tried f6 but nothing happened
[02:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> and i am using a livecd
[02:45] <chubs> hacker3141, you'll also need automake if you don't have it
[02:45] <v3ctor> carpediem: that is the opposite of what he wants to do
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> CostaRicanQuaker boot livecd to the start or install screen then F6
[02:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> it just gave me the same output the ext3 file system creation in partition # failed
[02:45] <loquitus_of_bor1> carpedium: I just read it but not getting how to do the opposite of that
[02:46] <hacker3141> @ danbh_intrepid it says command not found. what is the proper syntax usage?
[02:46] <carpediem> v3ctor: not really, remoting and local still involve the same thing.  The display is still set the same.  You don't set the -X on the SSH.  you just have to figure out how to reference the local display
[02:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> Jack_Sparrow,  ok i rebooted and booted fromn the cd and now i pressed f6
[02:46] <danbh_intrepid> !build > hacker3141
[02:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> and i see something that says boot options
[02:47] <EvilDaemon> Where are downloaded-only packages downloaded to?
[02:48] <EvilDaemon> Like, sudo apt-get -d install php5
[02:48] <CostaRicanQuaker> and it says file=/cdroom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper intrd=/casper/intrid.gz quiet splash --
[02:48] <CostaRicanQuaker> Jack_Sparrow, what do i do now?
[02:48] <snadge> my laptop has an nvidia chipset, and ubuntu 8.04.1 isn't prompting me to install the nvidia binary drivers .. even if i go into "hardware devices"
[02:48] <loquitus_of_bor1> carpediem: mostly I got it :)
[02:48] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: just like this:  "export DISPLAY=:0.0"
[02:48] <EvilDaemon> Where's the location of the package?
[02:48] <loquitus_of_bor1> setting display to :0.0
[02:48] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: then run xterm
[02:48] <carpediem> loquitus_of_bor1: and it should show on the other machine
[02:48] <loquitus_of_bor1> carpediem: thanks
[02:49] <puff> So, a flash ad on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p4 killed my firefox performance.
[02:49] <v3ctor> loquitus_of_bor1: did it work?
[02:49] <danbh_intrepid> EvilDaemon: same location they are normally downloaded to, which is something like /var/apt/cache      try locate deb
[02:49] <loquitus_of_bor1> v3ctor: yep! export DISPLAY=:0.0 && do_something works
[02:49] <puff> Like 60% cpu usage.
[02:49] <loquitus_of_bor1> thanks
[02:50] <puff> this seems to be specific to ubuntu's flash plugin, somebody else tried it on a different distro and didn't see the same behavior.  I installed flashblock to stop it.
[02:50] <sam_delta> i need help, friends ndiswrapper works fine on open networks, but when it comes to password encrypted networks, it keeps prompting for the password over and over
[02:50] <snadge> !nvidia
[02:50] <Macrosoft> puff, you could just remove the flash plugin
[02:50] <Bogus8> I'm having issues using my usb flash drivers with fat32 format... fdisk is showing this http://www.pastebin.ca/1205456
[02:50] <Jinko> Puff: I had similar troubles with the open source flash plugin.  The adobe one works fine, though.
[02:50] <Bogus8> the partitions don't really get numbered
[02:50] <Macrosoft> puff, anyway, there are 3 different flash plugins for ubuntu
[02:51] <tomvolek> Hi all,  I have a new Sony Vaio laptop 1600x900 , when i try to boot from CD to install Ubuntu on it, It does not recognize the resolution as a result only shows pixles of colors.  What is the command to boot from CD in a different resolution ?
[02:51] <danbh_intrepid> puff: I get some heavy cpu usage on the bottom add
[02:51] <puff> Macrosoft: Yeah, sometimes I needit.
[02:51] <puff> danbh_intrepid: How do you know?
[02:51] <jada> alguien habla español
[02:51] <Bogus8> when I drop it into my ubuntu desktop it mounts it as /dev/sde ... but my fat16 drive gets a number and doesn't have all those fdisk issues
[02:51] <puff> danbh_intrepid: Jinko Hm, not sure which I'musing.
[02:51] <Macrosoft> puff, like jinko said, the adobe version is pretty decent
[02:51] <bringatowel> !es | jada
[02:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> Jack_Sparrow, i did what you told me, i added all_generic_ide before the -- noww it's loading the splash screen
[02:52] <danbh_intrepid> puff: its the one with the autoscroller.  I just grab the slider, and the cpu usage goes down.   But its only like %10 for me
[02:52] <tomvolek> how do I boot from Ubuntu Cd in a different resolution ?
[02:52] <jada> gracias
[02:52] <sam_delta> i need help, friends ndiswrapper works fine on open networks, but when it comes to password encrypted networks, it keeps prompting for the password over and over
[02:52] <jada> pero como hago eso soy nuevo
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> CostaRicanQuaker lets see how it goes
[02:52] <Macrosoft> puff, i think the worst is libswfdec
[02:52] <puff> danbh_intrepid: Ah, I was wondering if you had some funky flash CPU usage profiler plugin for firefox :-)
[02:53] <physically_fit> jada, escribe: /join #ubuntu-es
[02:53] <HappyHater> anybody help me with lighttpd? noones awake in their channel.
[02:53] <puff> Hm, not a lot of details about the plugin in tools/add-ons/plugins
[02:54] <puff> libflashplayer
[02:54] <danbh_intrepid> HappyHater: apache2?   why go against the flow, you know?
[02:54] <puff> libflashplayer.so, Flash 9.0 r124
[02:54] <Macrosoft> puff, sounds like you have the bad one
[02:54] <Macrosoft> oh, maybe not
[02:55] <sam_delta> i need help, friends computer with ndiswrapper works fine on open networks, but when it comes to password encrypted networks, it keeps prompting for the password over and over
[02:55] <Macrosoft> puff, at least it works, i keep having firefox randomly crash all the time
[02:55] <Bogus8> could someone take a look at my pastebin and tell me what the hell is going on with my flash drive? http://www.pastebin.ca/1205456
[02:55] <puff> Macrosoft: Hm, I haven't seen that many crashes, lately.
[02:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> Jack_Sparrow, i'm getting ata2.oo: satus {DRDY}
[02:56] <Macrosoft> puff, just dont install 3.0.1
[02:56] <chubs> Bogus8, nothing out of the ordinary
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Bogus8 what did you use to create those partitions
[02:56] <Bogus8> Jack_Sparrow: xp
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> CostaRicanQuaker no idea atm
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Bogus8 what tool?
[02:57] <kthakore> where would I got to get open office help?
[02:57] <chubs> Bogus8, flash drives partitioned as fat32 have weird tables
[02:57] <chubs> Bogus8, it's working though, correct?
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> kthakore oo has a channel, but I dont know it
[02:57] <Bogus8> chubs: so fat32 looks like that 4 crazy partitions and you mount to the device and not the partition?
[02:57] <CostaRicanQuaker> Buffer I/O errror on device sr0 logical block
[02:57] <CostaRicanQuaker> and it lists 0-7
[02:57] <Bogus8> Jack_Sparrow: right click on drive and select format
[02:57] <kthakore> I am trying to get oo3 beta 2 to load a dictionary
[02:58] <chubs> Bogus8, you mount the largest one, that's where the data is
[02:58] <Bogus8> chubs: well, one brand new 8 gig super talent just gave up a ghost (but was acting funny before)
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Bogus8 Will that create partitions too?
[02:58] <carpediem> kthakore: #Openoffice.org
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> carpediem thanks
[02:58] <Bogus8> chubs: well, ubuntu desktop automounted it with just the device no partition number
[02:58] <Daft_Punk> how can I start a virtualbox system without opening virtualbox?
[02:59] <dr3mro> I read an articl on the web about how to speed ubuntu they claim that "preload" will enhance speed is that true?
[02:59] <chubs> Bogus8, then really, don't worry about it. if you want pretty partitions format it as ext2, but that's only if you plan on never needing to use it on windows ;)
[02:59] <Bogus8> Jack_Sparrow: it came partitioned and formated already but I have reformatted from that
[03:00] <pawan> how to install pixel view tv tuner card
[03:00] <Bogus8> chubs: I don't mind the crazy partitions if that is normal... just it giving up the ghost in the first day had me concerned
[03:00] <CostaRicanQuaker> Jack_Sparrow, it gives me the same status {DRDY} and then logical block
[03:00] <CostaRicanQuaker> what do i do?
[03:00] <Bogus8> chubs: when I rsynced some data over it gave a bunch of errors, didn't complete and had some strange chars for files
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> CostaRicanQuaker Look up that laptop in supported hardware for more clues
[03:00] <CostaRicanQuaker> where?
[03:01] <v3ctor> baffle: do you want headless?
[03:01] <chubs> Bogus8, if you're really concerned that repartition it as fat32 in linux. should be the same crazy partitioning
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[03:01] <onx> Bogus8, why not just reformat and test if it still has errors?
[03:01] <Bogus8> chubs: I'm also manually mounting it with an ubuntu server to do my rsync'ing... just use my desktop to test out the partition issue
[03:01] <dr3mro> I read an articl on the web about how to speed ubuntu they claim that "preload" will enhance speed is that true?
[03:01] <PRGUY85> hey anyone tested intrepid alpha 6 yet?
[03:01] <onx> *repartition
[03:01] <Bogus8> onx, chubs: well, now it's dead
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> dr3mro HAve a full backup before trying things like that
[03:01] <chubs> Bogus8, how dead?
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> PRGUY85 /j #Ubuntu+1
[03:02] <carpediem> pawan:  sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
[03:02] <Bogus8> chubs: windows gives it a letter but says no drive installed... forgot what linux was saying... basically the drive properties say it's a 0 byte drive
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Bogus8 the gparted livecd is a great tool to have.. 50 megs or so for the iso
[03:02] <carpediem> pawan:  Then add:    options cx88xx card=27 tuner=59
[03:02] <corporeal> is there a mysql package for ubuntu which has partitioning built in?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !gparted
[03:02] <onx> Bogus8, just nuke those partitions and make your own
[03:02] <chubs> Bogus8, if you give me the output of fdisk i may be able to help some
[03:02] <corporeal> for some reason the default package doesnt have it
[03:02] <carpediem> pawan: Add a second line :     options cx8800
[03:03] <Bogus8> Jack_Sparrow: I have several flavors of live cd's and a couple of installs on different boxes and I know fdisk
[03:03] <chubs> Jack_Sparrow, he doesn't need gparted, it's a flash drive
[03:03] <Hyperion2010> is "make menuconfig" supposed to work if you are in a kernel source containing directory?
[03:03] <Bogus8> chubs: let me go plug it back in my server again
[03:03] <carpediem> pawan: then reboot, should be gold.
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> chubs you can use gparted live on a flash drive
[03:03] <chubs> Jack_Sparrow, you can also toast bread in the oven, but it's a silly thing to do when you have a toaster
[03:03] <Junkee> does anyone know anything about alsa in here? wine/cedega don't pass alsa test's and my surround doesn't work at all, and i dont know what the heck i'm doing lol
[03:03] <v3ctor> Daft_Punk: did you want headless?
[03:03] <carpediem> mmm, toast
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> chubs not up for discussion...  he has options
[03:04] <Daft_Punk> v3ctor, i dont now what headless is
[03:04] <onx> chubs, i'm usually to lazy to plug in the toaster
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Junkee try asking in wine or cedega
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> winehq
[03:04] <v3ctor> do you just want the vm to run in the background?
[03:04] <Junkee> well my alsa doesnt work well even not running things
[03:04] <chubs> onx, I usually just get out the box of matches
[03:04] <Junkee> like i cant get surround to work at all
[03:04] <Bogus8> chubs: fdisk says "unable to open /dev/sdg"
[03:05] <TWP-SirStaal> open up: 1421-1432 against the adress: snowstorm.betapet.com (<IP_ADDRESS>). How do I open up those ports?
[03:05] <onx> Bogus8, did it automount?
[03:05] <chubs> Bogus8, I'm assuming that you're root? and assuming it's not mounted? Are you positive that it's /sdg?
[03:05] <puff> Macrosoft: I'm *on* 3.0.1.
[03:05] <Bogus8> onx: no
[03:05] <CostaRicanQuaker> Jack_Sparrow, now the screen turned black
[03:06] <Bogus8> chubs: yes... just checked dmesg and nothing was that high up on the /dev count
[03:06] <v3ctor> Daft_Punk: you can run the virtual without a display
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> CostaRicanQuaker what does ctrl F2 do?
[03:06] <chubs> Bogus8, hm. what does lsusb give you? out of curiosity
[03:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> brought me back to the status DRDY screen
[03:06] <Daft_Punk> v3ctor, no i just want it so i can click an icon on destop and my virtualmachine opens up without virtualbox opening up
[03:07] <Bogus8> chubs: got a few Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[03:07] <Bogus8> Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[03:07] <Bogus8> and my other jump drives that are working fine
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Bogus8 same jumbled partition table
[03:07] <chubs> Bogus8, maybe it is totally dead, maybe you just got stuck with a bum drive
[03:08] <carpediem> Junkee: welcome to the (less than) wonderful world of Pulseaudio.
[03:08] <Bogus8> Jack_Sparrow: the 4gig one is... I'm a little scared to futz with it
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> bbl
[03:08] <Junkee> lol ty carpediem
[03:08] <Junkee> i found a few tutorials im testing now
[03:08] <Bogus8> chubs: yeah, that's what I'm thinking... my gf was trying to use it in windows before (when she got it) and was having issues with it... saying it needed to be formatted when it was just used (not even pulled out!)
[03:08] <dr3mro> ok i'll , i have another q? every time i boot the sound will be very low and i have to go volume control to increase volume ????? how i can make this permanent
[03:09] <Dragon> Help! I cannot hear anything from my headphones?
[03:09] <chubs> Bogus8, yeah. I bet the drive is at fault here, is it under any warranty?
[03:09] <sleepy_> Hey everyone, I'm a bit new to ubuntu, and I'm trying to get my audio to work in Xine on MKV files. I've read many forum posts, but I can't find a solution, can someone help me?
[03:09] <zcat[1]> Huge problem here. Getting squashfs errors and can't boot the installer CD. Two different machines, one has no OS the other has Vista .. drives are supposedly OK, CDs are factory stamped (all four produce the same error) any suggestions?
[03:09] <Bogus8> chubs: should be, just came in the mail today ;)
[03:09] <chubs> Bogus8, well then it's probably not so bad :)
[03:09] <Dragon> I have beeen trying for hours to configure my sound mixers yet i still cannot hear? is there any way to reset all the defaults??
[03:10] <PRGUY85> I cant get true 5.1 audio on hardy through ac3 decoders...I get same sound on all 5 speakers.  Any suggestions?
[03:10] <carpediem> zcat[1]: I had similar problem on one machine, and had to use the alternative ISO....can't guarantee it's the same situation though
[03:11] <zcat[1]> Hmmm..
[03:11] <Bogus8> chubs: nah, I was just worried that somehow linux was corrupting some data and possible burned up the drive or something.. I know that is SHOULDN"T.. just thought it might be because of that whacky parttion table
[03:11] <atid> zcat: Just had the same problem with squashfs. Grub loader was a fault... ended up with a new install, however later I found that there was a conflict with the two CD rom drives I had connected. Try disconnecting one of them if you are running more than one CD rom
[03:11] <^paradox^> somebody give me a hand. how do i start setting up compiz fusion?
[03:11] <sleepy_> paradox, do you have an ATI or nVidia video card?
[03:11] <v3ctor> Daft_Punk: create a launcher with `/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox  -startvm <nameOFvirtual>`
[03:11] <^paradox^> geforce 6200
[03:11] <unop> Daft_Punk, grab some documentation on VBoxManage
[03:11] <mEck0> hi! when I use the mv-command with -v argument to copy something to /media/Music, then in the end the command returns like: "mv: setting permissions for `/media/Music/iTunes_Songs`: Operation not permitted", why? permissions on /media/Music is: drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev, isn't that right?
[03:11] <chubs> Bogus8, nah, the wacky partition table is 'normal'. I wouldn't worry about it in the future
[03:11] <sleepy_> Did you install hardy?
[03:12] <Bogus8> anyone know of a howto on setting up an "autorun" for a jump drive... so when I plug it in it will run a script?
[03:12] <^paradox^> yeh i run hardy
[03:12] <Junkee> hmm when i do sudo asoundconf list it says my audio card is NVidia...lol
[03:12] <Bogus8> chubs: I got another identical 8 gig drive here that I'm gonna open up and futz with ... so I will know soon (unless it was a bad batch *gulp*)
[03:12] <sleepy_> System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[03:12] <sleepy_> That's where mine is
[03:12] <sed8me> anyone know how to set up any irc server for internal use?  i understand daemons and confs but am an irc noob
[03:13] <atid>  zcat[1]: After disconnecting one cdrom the live kubuntu disk worked fine
[03:13] <sleepy_> Hey everyone, I'm a bit new to ubuntu, and I'm trying to get my audio to work in Xine on MKV files. I've read many forum posts, but I can't find a solution, can someone help me?
[03:13] <chubs> Bogus8, hopefully it wasn't a bad batch. I'd be very interested if it's not a weird partition table
[03:13] <Killeroid> sed8me: unrealircd.org, read the documentation
[03:13] <Killeroid> its pretty easy to understand
[03:13] <[pnp]tomas> sed8me: which ircd are you looking to run?:p
[03:13] <sed8me> killeroid: ty
[03:14] <Bogus8> chubs: another odd thing about this jump drive is the usb port looks like a smart card contact... vs my 4gig version (same manf) that looks normal
[03:14] <unop> mEck0, is that an ipod you are copying files to?
[03:14] <Technqe> what p2p is used for ubuntu
[03:14] <amenado> what technique does yahoo.mail or gmail used to disallow me from accessing their mail from an internal network host? i can only access it via the router/host facing the internet?
[03:14] <mEck0> unop: no, its to a ntfs-partition
[03:14] <sed8me> tomas: been playing with ngircd and ircd-hybrid.  can get them installed easy enough but using pidgin client from a workstation i get couldn't connect to host
[03:15] <wellingtoncorrei> tem brasileiro por aí?
[03:15] <^paradox^> i dont see advanced in my menus
[03:15] <chubs> Bogus8, that is weird, but as long as there are four contacts usb can work, maybe they just repurposed a surplus of connectors, I take it this isn't a 'name-brand' drive?
[03:15] <sleepy_> Wow this problem must be harder than I thought XD
[03:15] <unop> mEck0, are you sure? those are classic symptoms of copying content to FAT filesystems
[03:16] <Bogus8> chubs: super talent... yeah, the computer side is only touching the outter contact patches
[03:16] <xan1th> sed8me: I'd really recommend running a better irc client than pidgin, hybrid is a great ircd though
[03:16] <bringatowel> xan1th: aww, whats wrong with pidgin for irc?
[03:16] <onx> Bogus8, the outer ones are just power. so you're accessing the drive via a spark gap? :p
[03:16] <mEck0> unop: I'm trying to move files from a ext3-partition to a NTFS-one (via ntfs-3g)
[03:16] <hackerseraph> heh
[03:17] <onx> kinda explains the errors though...
[03:17] <chetnick> guys, does anybody know how to disable window mode in wine??? Please somebody, cant find nowhere how to do it.
[03:17] <sleepy_> I just use IRSSI for this chat
[03:17] <hackerseraph> should be right there in your wine prefs
[03:17] <xan1th> bringatowel: I dunno, I'm more of a purist I suppose?:p
[03:17] <hackerseraph> havent used wine in a while so i doubt i will be of any help
[03:17] <sleepy_> However I'm still having trouble with getting audio on Xine for MKV files
[03:17] <mEck0> unop: the files and dir's are moved to the destination, though I got the message when using "mv" with "-v"
[03:17] <tranlongpc> hello
[03:17] <bringatowel> chetnick: check #winehq
[03:17] <tranlongpc> I am newbie
[03:17] <Bogus8> onx: no, this usb looks like it's a smart card... the outer ones have little 'cuts' at the back end... like half a sim card
[03:18] <tranlongpc> #who tranlongpc
[03:18] <sleepy_> Does anyone happen to know where I can find help getting my sound to work with MKVs played in Xine?
[03:18] <tranlongpc> check #tranlongpc
[03:18] <tranlongpc> join #ubuntu
[03:18] <tranlongpc> :))
[03:18] <Slaj_R> question - when trying to fix the broken package Samba, i get this message:
[03:18] <Dragon> Help I canno hear anything out of my speakers would someone please help me configure my mixers so that i can hear again, Please help
[03:18] <tranlongpc> I am from vietnam
[03:18] <Slaj_R> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/samba_3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 102
[03:18] <sleepy_> tran: could swear I was in #ubuntu XD
[03:18] <chetnick> bringatowel: thanks
[03:18] <Slaj_R> How can I fix?
[03:18] <sam_delta> i need help, friends computer with ndiswrapper works fine on open networks, but when it comes to password encrypted networks, it keeps prompting for the password over and over
[03:18] <hackerseraph> you cant hear anything?
[03:19] <onx> sleepy_, xine is more popular with the kde folks, for gnome it's usually gstreamer
[03:19] <Bogus8> chubs: hmm, new drive (preformmated fat32) shows up as just one partition *shrug*
[03:19] <bringatowel> xan1th: ehh well there are other good clients as well, all of them work fine imho, like xchat, konversation, etc.
[03:19] <hackerseraph> you running firefox in the background?
[03:19] <bouma> could i get some help, when i play a flash video and make it full screen it plays slow and jerkly. under xp its perfect on this relatively powerful machine
[03:19] <sleepy_> gstreamer, does it have native MKV functionality?
[03:19] <chubs> Bogus8, must be the windows formatter that does the funky things then
[03:19] <bouma> i have the  closed source nvidia drivers under ubuntu
[03:19] <hackerseraph> bouma, do you have your drivers installed?
[03:19] <onx> sleepy_, there's plugins that support it
[03:19] <Bogus8> chubs: wonder what the factory uses
[03:19] <carpediem> sam_delta: ndiswrapper doesnt' support every type of network encryption, last I used it.
[03:19] <v3ctor> sleepy_: does sound work with anything other than MKV?
[03:19] <chubs> Bogus8, but i've seen it plenty of times before
[03:19] <bouma> hackerseraph: right, yes ive got the closed nv drivers
[03:20] <gluonman> I'm installing/configuring VirtualBox, following the instructions at help.ubuntu.com/community/virtualbox. At the step where it mentions forcing VirtualBox via taskset, the code it gives me after the install rendered an error. This is the code: taskset -c 1 virtualbox ; and this was the error: sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument / failed to set pid 0's affinity. Can anyone help me with this?
[03:20] <sleepy_> Yes, sound works with everything EXCEPT mkv files played in Xine
[03:20] <tranlongpc> hello
[03:20] <hackerseraph> hmmm, and its choppy? odd what card?
[03:20] <chubs> sleepy_, appears to be a bug
[03:20] <chubs> sleepy_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+source/xine-lib/+bug/228174
[03:20] <sam_delta> carpediem, ooo alright, do you know which encryptions it dosnt support?, thanks for the reply
[03:20] <carpediem> sam_delta: are you *sure* ndiswrapper is your only choice
[03:20] <sleepy_> Well MKV files have two different audio fields, so it's also possible that I haven't set it up correctly to use them
[03:20] <bouma> hackerseraph: its a pretty decent card, a  GeForce 8400 GS (GPU 0)
[03:21] <sam_delta> carpediem, yea, i tryed b43-fwcutter but it failed to bring friends wireless up
[03:21] <bringatowel> gluonman: might want to ask in #vbox
[03:21] <unop> mEck0, it's probably the fact that ntfs-3g does not support setting permissions yet
[03:21] <gluonman> bringatowel, thank you.
[03:21] <carpediem> sam_delta: I am not sure, and I think it depends on the card/driver.  What card/chipset are you using
[03:22] <unop> gluonman_, do you run a multi-core processor
[03:22] <unop> ?
[03:22] <mEck0> unop: aha, okay. but what mv is trying to do is to use *nix permissions on the ntfs-partition? so they aren't compatible, or am I wrong?
[03:22] <sam_delta> carpediem bcm4312 rev 2
[03:22] <pushpop> if I want to do c programming on my ubuntu box? Do i have to install the c library manually?  It would find stdio?  anyone know the answer to this by any chance?
[03:22] <gluonman_> unop, I'm not completely sure.
[03:22] <gluonman_> unop, but I don't believe so.
[03:23] <badfish> if i got a device working can i add it to the bot's list?
[03:23] <unop> gluonman_, taskset will only work if you have a multi-core processor, something like the dual-core or quad-core CPUs
[03:23] <supercom32> When I create a new user, the only folder in this home directory is "Examples". How do I get Ubuntu to regenerate all files?
[03:23] <lwizardl> anyone here setup a cash register on Linux ?
[03:23] <Bogus8> what happens if I mount something on top of something else?
[03:23] <gluonman_> unop, I see. I'm thinking it doesn't apply to me. My computer is probably too old to have a dual-core processor.
[03:24] <sleepy_> So then can someone help me get MKV functionality? Since no one seems to use Xine in Gnome
[03:24] <carpediem> sam_delta: did you blacklist bcm43xx?
[03:24] <chubs> lwizardl, I honestly doubt it, but searching for POS (point of sale) devices will yield some results
[03:24] <chubs> Bogus8, you mean in the same folder?
[03:24] <onx> sleepy, you could just get vlc and be done with it :)
[03:24] <supercom32> I'm thinking maybe I added and deleted the users home directory once too many times and now when I re-create the user account it won't make the full home directory structure?
[03:24] <lwizardl> chubs, been doing that
[03:24] <Bogus8> chubs: yeah, like I run the same mount command but change the device
[03:24] <v3ctor> sleepy_: did you try to run xine and explicitly tell it what driver to use?
[03:24] <Bogus8> chubs: I apparently did it 3 times!
[03:24] <sam_delta> carpediem, let me check, but i believe it comes blacklisted by default
[03:25] <unop> mEck0, they aren't compatible, but there are ways to translate the permissions back and forth (which the newer ntfs-3g will address) - but right now, all ntfs-3g provides is write-access, permissions and compression and all the other ntfs extras are ignored.
[03:25] <sleepy_> onx: I've heard VLC doesn't support MKV
[03:25] <v3ctor> sleepy_: xine -A alsa <filename>.mkv
[03:25] <Bogus8> looks like each just replaced the other and stacked up... so when I umounted it dropped back to the previous one
[03:25] <sleepy_> v3ctor, Yes I have
[03:25] <chubs> Bogus8, hah, hm. that's probably not great for writing back
[03:25] <bastid_raZor> sleepy_; onx mplayer does a great job.. it is even better for subs
[03:25] <carpediem> sam_delta: I'm looking at these instructions specifically   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#Step%201:%20All%20BCM43xx%20-%20Install%20NDISWrapper%20and%20Blacklist%20Native%20Driver
[03:25] <unop> gluonman_, you're probably right then - if you don't have such a processor, you can skip the step (it's optional anyway)
[03:26] <gluonman_> unop, thanks.
[03:26] <supercom32> Anyone know why creating a user would not generate all the home directory files/folders?
[03:26] <hale3rd> hi
[03:26] <sleepy_> bastid_raZor, thanks, I'll try it
[03:26] <jrib> supercom32: how did you create it?
[03:26] <hale3rd> can someone help with my sound issue?  no sound in vlc/rhytmbox etc...
[03:26] <unop> supercom32, depends on how you created the user.
[03:26] <mEck0> unop: okay, I get it. but the files which I move/copy from e.g. a ext3-partition to a ntfs-one, can I use them as usual on both Windows and gnu/linux then?
[03:26] <Bogus8> chubs: yeah, it was complete accident... interesting fact though
[03:26] <v3ctor> sleepy_: i always use mplayer, it is very good
[03:26] <carpediem> sam_delta: and I'm thinking that maybe the same chipset as my laptop, which I *do* have working.  Is this a laptop?
[03:26] <sleepy_> mplayer doesn't even play the files for me
[03:26] <supercom32> jrib: I used user and groups system panel
[03:26] <sleepy_> I can't find onx
[03:26] <danbh_intrepid> hale3rd: do you have sound in gstreamer-properties?
[03:27] <hale3rd> umm
[03:27] <supercom32> unop: i used the user and groups systems panel
[03:27] <Bogus8> chubs: btw, looks like the new drive is working just fine
[03:27] <hale3rd> sometimes sound works in firefox
[03:27] <jrib> supercom32: what files were you expecting that were not created?
[03:27] <sam_delta> carpediem yeah hp laptop
[03:27] <Bogus8> anyone know of a howto on setting up an "autorun" for a jump drive... so when I plug it in it will run a script?
[03:27] <chubs> Bogus8, well that's good
[03:27] <hale3rd> where are gstreamer properties?
[03:27] <caimlas> I'm using ubuntu on a thinkpad x30, which replaced debian. the thinkpad x30 has an integral CF reader - " CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II" according to lspci. It has worked before using yenta_socket and usb mass storage, but now when I insert my CF cards, no drives are displayed and dmesg only displays: "pccard: card ejected from slot 1<cr>pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1" - whereas previously it'd also display which device
[03:27] <caimlas>  its been assigned to. I can still use USB flash drives just fine. what might be my issue?
[03:27] <supercom32> jrib: sound, pictures, etc. All those kinds of things.
[03:27] <unop> mEck0, depends, if the files are your personal data - that's fine .. but system files, perhaps not.
[03:27] <onx> sleepy_, you'll need to enable the multiverse repo
[03:27] <jrib> supercom32: have you logged in with the user into GNOME?
[03:27] <caimlas> supercom32, the difference between using adduser and useradd, maybe.
[03:27] <sleepy_> onx, how so?
[03:27] <caimlas> supercom32, how did you create the user?
[03:28] <mEck0> unop: oh, yeah, I mean personal data, not sys-files. Thx for the answers!!!
[03:28] <carpediem> sam_delta: heh, any chance it's a DV9627CL?
[03:28] <supercom32> jrib: I didn't log in as him yet. But I never needed to before to get anything created
[03:28] <jrib> supercom32: try
[03:28] <hale3rd> ok
[03:28] <sam_delta> carpediem, not sure, its my friends laptop, it has touchscreen
[03:28] <supercom32> jrib: One sec ;P
[03:28] <hale3rd> i see
[03:28] <caimlas> supercom32, useradd only creates the system account entries; adduser creates all files as per system.
[03:29] <onx> sleepy, just go to settings - repositories in synaptics
[03:29] <unop> caimlas, he used the users-admin util
[03:29] <caimlas> unop, no idea then. :)
[03:29] <badfish> if i got an unlisted device working can i add it to the bot's list?
[03:29] <carpediem> sam_delta: eh, not quite the same.  At any rate, this is the instructions that got my laptop running.  http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/
[03:30] <darren> exit
[03:30] <darren> quit
[03:30] <v3ctor> quitter
[03:30] <Daft_Punk> lol its /quit or /exit
[03:30] <hale3rd> danbh: not working
[03:30] <v3ctor> Daft_Punk: did that work for launching the virtual?
[03:31] <Daft_Punk> v3ctor, yes thanks
[03:31] <sleepy_> onx, thanks
[03:31] <sam_delta> carpediem, alright, ill take a look at the procedure, thanks for the info
[03:31] <sleepy_> onx, testing now to see if I can get VLC to work
[03:31] <Daft_Punk> i use tint2 as my panel but the only issue is that it does not update the windows. for instance, i open firefox the panel will say mozilla firefox, but when i go to google it wont switch to google on the panel
[03:31] <supercom32> jrib: that did it :P
[03:32] <supercom32> jrib: On another note, is there a simple way to copy the settings of one user to another? Background colors, compiz settings, etc?
[03:32] <sleepy_> onx, I get no sound in VLC either
[03:33] <Rafiinha> quero saber como instalo coisas no ubuntu
[03:33] <caimlas> anyone know what might be causing my inability to read my CF cards (as stated above)?
[03:33] <Rafiinha> ??
[03:33] <supercom32> Is there a simple way to copy the settings of one user to another? Background colors, compiz
[03:33] <jrib> installing 8.04 on a macbook.  Ubuntu refuses to boot using refit.  All I get is tux with a white background staring at me.  I've already synced the partition tables using refit (originally I had "no bootable device" error).  I've also manually installed grub on the ubuntu partition.  How can I get more information?
[03:33] <danbh_intrepid> supercom32: rsync -aS
[03:34] <jrib> supercom32: sure, just copy all the .* files over
[03:34] <danbh_intrepid> supercom32: then probably change ownership, etc
[03:34] <jahnkeanater> can i run windows through a virtual box that is installed on a partition
[03:34] <v3ctor> sleepy_: you may not have the codec it requires or  maybe the MKV is bad
[03:34] <jrib> jahnkeanater: I don't think so, but ask #vbox
[03:34] <Cpudan80> jahnkeanater: yes - more difficult -  but possible
[03:34] <tsuna27> does any1 here have an ipod and use it w/ ubuntu
[03:34] <jahnkeanater> ok
[03:34] <sleepy_> I made the MKV and it works on windows boxes, how do I get the codecs properly?
[03:34] <Cpudan80> jahnkeanater: VMWare has this option, not 100% about vbox
[03:34] <caimlas> supercom32, copy the appropriate dotfiles from within the home directory to another. if you want to make them system-wide, there's also a dir you can put them in under /etc (can't recall what it is atm)
[03:34] <chubs> tsuna27, yeah
[03:35] <Zerocxis> tsuna, yes I have
[03:35] <caimlas> tsuna27, i have.
[03:35] <onx> sleepy_, check if you have the right output track selected in vlc, and have a look at the stream info, should tell you what format  the audio is
[03:36] <tsuna27> chubs: how?
[03:36] <tsuna27> caimlas: what r u using
[03:36] <supercom32> Grr. Is there a temporary way to give nautalis root access to folders?
[03:36] <chubs> tsuna27, I plug it in usually
[03:36] <dr3mro> can i install both prelink and preload or that is nonsense?
[03:36] <chubs> I use amarok to manage it
[03:36] <caimlas> tsuna27, i didn't say I was; just that I have. :P
[03:36] <chubs> but there are several programs
[03:36] <jrib> supercom32: gksudo nautilus
[03:36] <caimlas> i think I used gtkpod at the time; amarok is better supposedly
[03:36] <Zerocxis> tsuna27: I was just able to plug mine in and Rhythmbox picked it up right away
[03:37] <sleepy_> It identifies the streams properly, and I am testing with both streams, neither seem to work, although they both should. How do I check the stream info?
[03:37] <tsuna27> chubs: what can i use to add music and podcasts and such
[03:37] <supercom32> jrib: Thanks! That works.
[03:37] <tsuna27> zerocxis: if i plug it in i can just drag and drop my music?
[03:37] <chubs> caimlas, tsuna27 i find amarok to be better than itunes for managing my ipod, as long as it's music. I've heard newer ones have problems with video
[03:37] <sleepy_> nm, I see how to check the info
[03:37] <chubs> tsuna27, yeah. in a program
[03:37] <Zerocxis> tsuna27: yes
[03:38] <caimlas> I've only got one of those ipod 2G w/ the screens
[03:38] <caimlas> I've used it maybe... 5 times?
[03:38] <caimlas> music isn't that important to me
[03:38] <sleepy_> stream 1; codec: vorb; Language: English; Type: Audio; Channels: 2, sample rate: 44100 Hz
[03:38] <tsuna27> i have rhythembox should i download amarox
[03:38] <Infinito-> music is very important to me :)
[03:39] <jrib> tsuna27: you should try both and use what you like
[03:39] <chubs> tsuna27, it's up to you. if you like rhythmbox use it
[03:39] <tsuna27> chubs: i want 2 know wats better
[03:39] <chubs> !best | tuna
[03:39] <chubs> tsuna27, ^
[03:40] <onx> sleepy_, that's weird then. i'd suggest you upload a sample so someone can have a look at it, i'm going to sleep now though
[03:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> help io can't seem to install ubuntu on a toshiba satellite 1805-s204
[03:40] <sleepy_> ok, thanks for help
[03:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> there's some sort of block to partitioning
[03:41] <jimmygoon> Anyone got a good webkit browser in their back pockets for ubuntu besides a translated windows version?

[03:41] <sleepy_> I can't get the audio to work
[03:42] <DarX> hey, can anyone give me a hand with my wireless connection in unbuntu eee pc?
[03:43] <caimlas> DarX, what's the problem?
[03:44] <DarX> im not quite sure tbh. i got a connection earlier today after fiddling around with some things. I followed the forum post on how to do it manually thinking maybe that would work but not really. It said my interface was wifi0 but when i was connected it went through ath0:avahi
[03:45] <DarX> any info you might need?
[03:45] <NickRead> /msg NickServ help commands
[03:47] <supercom32> Hmm, No matter what folders I copy, I can't get "Compiz advance desktop effects settings" copied over to another users account. Any ideas?
[03:47] <danbh_intrepid> supercom32: did you try rsync?
[03:47] <jrib> supercom32: tried ~/.config/?   or just copy everything with danbh_intrepid's suggestion
[03:47] <harriseldon> sleepy_ it looks like gstreamer has a plugin in gst-plugins-good. That means that totem should work fine.
[03:48] <supercom32> danbh_intrepid: do i run that command in which directory?
[03:48] <supercom32> No source or target arguments?
[03:49] <dr3mro> hi in windows when i hover over file i get a tool tip tell me size and info about files how to o that in ubuntu???????
[03:49] <harriseldon> dr3mro in nautilus, you can zoom in for more details - the more you zoom, the more details
[03:50] <harriseldon> dr3mro, plus you can use the side panel. Change the places to Infomation
[03:51] <supercom32> readlink "/home/supercom32/.gvfs" failed: Permission denied (13)
[03:51] <dr3mro> harriseldon, I know that but when i am on desktop i want to hover over file to know its size ..

[04:00] <tuxxy__> yes, type sensors and it should eb displayec
[04:00] <tuxxy__> as your core temps
[04:01] <jrib> wers: hal-device-manager
[04:01] <danbh_intrepid> mateus: check your sources, make sure they are consistent, and default
[04:01] <crysnower> thanks
[04:01] <chris99> sensors is part of lmsensors?
[04:02] <mEck0> how can you make midnight commander show file/dir sizes in MB/GB istead of kB?
[04:02] <wers> jrib, not installed by default?
[04:02] <jrib> wers: no idea.  I think it is
[04:02] <chris99> I'm on a Aspire One and lmsensor does not see a any sensors

[04:03] <locainex> hello. wondered if anyone here had an opinion on quad core systems and what mobos are well supported by ubuntu
[04:04] <luckyone> when you build a package from source, how to do you remove it from the list of packages that update manager tries to 'update' for you?
[04:04] <chubs> luckyone, install using checkinstall
[04:04] <jrib> !pinning > luckyone
[04:04] <jrib> luckyone: though you probably should be giving it better version numbers
[04:05] <mateus> by the error message you have no idea of what?
[04:05] <luckyone> chubs: I installed these packages with ffmpeg
[04:05] <luckyone> chubs: I installed these packages with checkinstall
[04:05] <chubs> luckyone, so apt-get remove them
[04:05] <d0wn> hhow do i change to a different repository mirror on ubuntu server? so i have to manually edit every url in the sources.list?
[04:05] <luckyone> I don't want to remove them
[04:06] <chubs> luckyone, oh I see what you mean, follow jrib's link

[04:06] <jrib> d0wn: sed is your friend
[04:08] <d0wn> jrib: I don't quite get what you're saying. isn't sed a text editor, or something similar?
[04:08] <jrib> d0wn: yeah, something like that
[04:08] <jrib> d0wn: and your sources.list is a text file :)
[04:09]  * plik passes jrib  a larget cluebat
[04:09] <plik> *larger
[04:10] <d0wn> jrib: on this computer, ubuntu desktop, i have a different mirror which i got through a gui. it's a mirror in indiana. could i copy the contents of that and put it in the server sources.list, or do i have to modify anything else
[04:11] <tomvolek> crysnower ...  netbean  .. download it at www.sun.com
[04:11] <MrPickle> having trouble getting a fat32 usb flash key to work- it shows up on lsusb and as a usb drive in the gnome file manager under computer:///, but I cant find it's location through terminal and I cant get it to mount in any way shape or form.
[04:11] <jrib> d0wn: sed is like a "find and replace" shell command (and more).  So you can find all the "archive.ubuntu.com" and replace it with "your.favorite.mirror".  Yes, you can also just copy the sources.list from somewhere else as long as they both are from the same ubuntu version
[04:11] <genius> what is the best command-line software to make incremental backups?

[04:13] <hosstest> anyone every heard of this>
[04:13] <tomvolek> is there a way to install Ubuntu in commandline mode ?
[04:13] <d0wn> jrib: i dont have to change any of the hardy main restricted, or hardy main universe things? i'm sorry. i dont understand repositories that much

[04:13] <jvr> can anyone help me with a Brother MFC210C question, ive installed it as per the instructions, but I print a page and nothing happens, in Jobs it just says its printed, nothing comes out of the printer. Im running AMD64 version of Ubuntu 8.04
[04:13] <MrPickle> hosstest, thats a very weird error right there. I would log in as root and check up on your users&groups settings
[04:14] <hosstest> MrPickle: Not sure how to do that or what to look for.
[04:14] <plik> d0wn: :%s/changethis/tothis/g  <== sorry
[04:14] <tomvolek> JVR,  did u get the drivers from Brother site ?
[04:15] <pawan> any good torrent client
[04:15] <jvr> tomvolek: yes ofcourse.
[04:15] <jvr> i did lpinfo -v
[04:15] <tomvolek> I used the drivers from brothers and it worked right off  ..
[04:15] <pawan> other than azureus
[04:15] <jvr> yeah it worked for me in gentoo right off.
[04:15] <sleepy> Someone please help me, I'm so afraid that I'll have to reinstall everything
[04:15] <MrPickle> hosstest, if youre using the gnome desktop, login as root at the main window [you need admin log enabled] and go to system>users and groups, then look for things on your user account that look out of place or set incorrectly
[04:15] <jvr> im having serious problems here in ubuntu.
[04:15] <tomvolek> I am using ubuntu 8 amd64
[04:15] <jvr> yes same.
[04:15] <jvr> Ive actually got a Brother MFC425CN
[04:15] <tomvolek> hmm, very strange ...
[04:15] <jvr> but I'm meant to use the MFC210C driver
[04:16] <MrPickle> hosstest, if you need to set admin login as on, go to system>login window and enable it
[04:16] <jvr> as in gentoo aswell.
[04:16] <zubwolf_> hi, i'm using ubuntu hardy(2.6.24-19-generic), while trying to create an ubuntu package (no apt-source, just the real package source) in a pbuilder chail everything seems fine, dh_make finishes clean, "pbuilder create *.dsc" does fine, but "sudo pbuilder build *.dsc" finishes with "Tcl cannot be found on this system.", seems like "pbuilder create" doesn't care about the tcl-dependency
[04:16] <zubwolf_> any idea about what i can do to get this build done would be really apreciated
[04:16] <tomvolek> i am sure u have updated ur system to the latest bug fixes... etc.
[04:16] <jvr> tomvolek: yes i have.
[04:16] <jvr> all the files/directories exist aswell
[04:16] <hosstest> MrPickle: again, you assume I that I know what normal is supposed to look like.
[04:17] <jvr> tomvolek: http://pastebin.ca/1205561
[04:17] <jvr> thats the only error i get
[04:17] <d0wn> plik: sorry to bug you, but how do i save in vim? i feel stupid now
[04:17] <jvr> could that be a problem ?
[04:18] <plik> :wq
[04:18] <jvr> it says unauthorized, but everything still works.
[04:18] <MrPickle> hosstest, this is linux, there is no standard for normal. basically when you are looking through the users&groups settings for your account, look to see what permissions you have and what you can change. play around and youll find something eventually that was causing the block
[04:18] <jvr> it let me delete and re-add a printer. etc
[04:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> is there a way to install ubuntu from the terminal from the livecd¿
[04:18] <hosstest> MrPickle: Okay, thanks.
[04:19] <smm289> Real Player for Linux, does it work with ubuntu
[04:19] <MrPickle> :repost:having trouble getting a fat32 usb flash key to work- it shows up on lsusb and as a usb drive in the gnome file manager under computer:///, but I cant find it's location through terminal and I cant get it to mount in any way shape or form.
[04:19] <plik> d0wn: ':wq' to save...  it's  ok to feel stupid - it's the best way to learn, so we're less stupid next time ;)
[04:19] <MrPickle> smm289, dl- install it- let us know
[04:20] <smm289> lol Yes Sir
[04:20] <turk> hey guys my roomate and I just messed up his passwd file and now he's locked out of his system..any suggestions?
[04:20] <zefyx> should the cpu fan be blowing the same direction & pointed as the exhaust fan at the rear of a case?
[04:20] <jvr> omg this is so frustrating
[04:20] <jvr> bloody brother printers
[04:21] <smm289> i would think you want all your fans flowing in the same direction, that way air travels in one end of the case and out the other, usually fresh air in the front, hot air out the back
[04:21] <jvr> was easier to get working in gentoo
[04:21] <MrPickle> smm289, if it doesn't work, then check some of the settings before you give up. Theres very few things that 'wont run' on a linux module
[04:21] <zefyx> yeah, it just struck me as odd, i bought a poweredge server & its the complete opposite
[04:21] <zefyx> heh
[04:21] <MrPickle> smm289, also include the name of who you are speaking to, there's a ton of people in here
[04:21] <smm289> or maybe you could have front and back fans blowing in, and then a top blow-hole fan sucking out
[04:21] <zefyx> the fans will battle themselves
[04:22] <smm289> ahh sorry
[04:22] <smm289> i just talk to anyone that will listen ;)
[04:22] <d0wn> Thanks plik! I've successfully switched mirrors
[04:22] <plik> d0wn: well done, make notes if you need to :)
[04:22] <MrPickle> zefyx, the way I have my fans set up is for all fans to blow in. high pressure = low air movment = colder temp at cost of physical stability
[04:23] <MrPickle> zefyx, and by stability im talking about my case
[04:23] <arooni> for some reason i'm having a REALLY HARD time blanking a cd with ubuntu 8.04 on it... everytime i try with any app, it freezes my system or no progress elapses
[04:24] <MrPickle> arooni, are you booting from the disk?? be less vauge as to what is going on
[04:24] <arooni> MrPickle, no i'm booted from hard disk;  whenever i burn i see messages like: Cannot open SCSI driver!
[04:24] <smm289> MrPickle: I downloaded it and its a .bin, what am I supposed to do with that.  I double click on it and it doesn't do much.  Computer thinks about it for a little bit but then nothing happens
[04:25] <mysticdarkhack> Greetings all
[04:25] <Serway> hey guys, my totem crashes everyime i want to open a file, can someone help me?
[04:25] <TWP-SirStaal> Guys I seriously got a problem. My windows crashed some time ago and I have decided to throw windows out. But wen I go to check that partionated part of my disk it says it has "0kb" in memory, what shall I do?
[04:25] <MrPickle> smm289,  thats a windows type of compression.... do they have a tar.gz or a .deb?
[04:25] <mysticdarkhack> Anyone here able to get dvd playback work on hardy with all the codecs install cause I can't seem to get it working here.
[04:25] <Realcoolguy> Serway: I completely had the same problem at some point :)  see if you can use another program like vlc without it crashing
[04:26] <MrPickle> arooni, it may be an issue with the driver for that disk
[04:26] <smm289> MrPickle:  hmmm, let me check, the button said Linux download
[04:26] <Serway> Realcoolguy, thanks, you are a cool guy
[04:26] <arooni> MrPickle, i see: Blanking entire disk ... and then nothing happens (two different pcs/burners) same message (gnome-baker)
