[00:00] <tzanger> does anyone have any suggestions as to why amarok is now saying it can't start up on 7.10?

[00:00] <FloodBot1> tzanger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:00] <tzanger> is what I'm seeing when starting from CLI (GUI startup doesnt' show anything)
[00:00] <tzanger> 4 lines is flooding?
[00:00] <Ana_> DasEi dunno really still waiting :=), I havent got to a point of failure for now. I'm a bit frustrated I love *nixes, and I was thirlled when I saw one actually usable as desktop without too much hassle :)
[00:01] <heret1c> my network bandwidth is suddenly much lower - is there a tool with which one may find the bottleneck?
[00:01] <Din|BSD> 4 lines very fast, might make ubottu a bit mad :)
[00:01] <MindVirus> http://www.rnrh.net/images/blog/monkey_steals_the_peach.png
[00:01] <Flannel> tzanger: yeah, please use pastebin in the future for anything over 2 (and sometimes even then)
[00:01] <MindVirus> ^^ Monkey steals the peach.
[00:01] <Din|BSD> errr FloodBot1 i mean
[00:01] <EvilAIM> weird
[00:01] <rampage> hi just wondering is it possible to have multiple conditions in an if statement for a shell script? trying "if [ -d /home || -d /var ]" fails and not sure if its allowed
[00:02] <Uplink> lol wth
[00:02] <DasEi> Ana: I once had to install this one, and no  inferior system I got after a simple update/grade
[00:02] <tzanger> Flannel: ok
[00:02] <EvilAIM> I installed Ubuntu, and it says my xorg isn't configured right...
[00:02] <Flannel> MindVirus: Please don't do that.
[00:02] <EvilAIM> weird
[00:02] <MindVirus> Flannel, my apologies.
[00:02] <EvilAIM> something about no screen?
[00:02] <DasEi> Ana: I once had to install this *way, and no  inferior system I got after a simple update/grade
[00:02] <MindVirus> Thought it may interest someone.
[00:02] <fde> rampage: ask in #bash
[00:02] <stealthy45> Anyone in here mind helping a noob set up printer sharing? I've been at this for 8 hours today and still can't get it ironed out. Printer is on an ubuntu box and local print jobs work, but it isn't properly sharing. It's visible on my home network, but "access is denied".
[00:02] <[TiZ]> Is it possible to make gnome-panel hide the same way that avant-window-navigator does? e.g., it's covered by windows, and appears when I mouse over it?
[00:03] <Flannel> tzanger: Whether or not 2 lines is "flooding" isn't too important, the more important thing is that using a pastebin is generally a lot easier, since it comes out in oneblock for people, etc.  Here it might be interpsersed with whatever else, like floodbots response, etc.
[00:03] <Ana_> DasEi I see that desktop linux is still a bit hassle :), but as said this is a first ubuntu install I have ever had problems with. Sad it's on my own pc :)
[00:03] <rampage> cheers fde
[00:03] <tzanger> Flannel: fair enough
[00:03] <heret1c> EvilAIM: boot in recovery mode, choose "attempt to fix x-server".
[00:03] <tzanger> Flannel: is this the right chan for kde-related stuff in 7.10?
[00:03] <Ana_> DasEi I did at least 20 installs that went smooth at my friends etc...
[00:03] <Flannel> tzanger: It could be, yes.  You may get better response/support in #kubuntu, however.
[00:03] <EvilAIM> recovery mode?
[00:03] <EvilAIM> I'm in ubuntu
[00:03] <tzanger> ok
[00:03] <EvilAIM> can't I just run that xorg config thingy?
[00:04] <DasEi> Ana: saddlers shoes :P,  but ibex still is a little more hassle then hardy is, I still keep on hardy for all productives
[00:04] <x3n0> having a few issues getting dpkg to configure a newer kernel image... is anyone able to shead a little light on it? here's the dpkg output http://pastebin.com/d7a768ea1
[00:04] <Ana_> DasEi, btw where can I change kernel parameters once it's installed syctl or what file is it again?
[00:04] <Rolcol> The file-select window always comes up small.  Where can I edit that?
[00:05] <Redbullie> How do I configure my netwrok interface throught the terminal window?
[00:05] <DasEi> Ana: easiest way to use the apt-upgrade fct.
[00:05] <Redbullie> Ubuntu 7.10
[00:05] <heret1c> EvilAIM: yes. when starting up, hit ESC on the boot screen, and choose "boot in recovery mode".
[00:05] <EvilAIM> looks like it's an issue with something called 'wacome'?
[00:05] <Skky> No audio from web videos is playing but my media player sounds fine, any ideas on why this keeps happening randomly?
[00:05] <EvilAIM> Wacom
[00:05] <EvilAIM> no driver found...
[00:05] <fde> EvilAIM: you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... would help if you could give a little more details than "says it isn't configured right, something about screens"  :/
[00:05] <Skky> Every so often YouTube and the likes just won't make sound until the next restart
[00:05] <[TiZ]> Is it possible to make gnome-panel hide the same way that avant-window-navigator does? e.g., it's covered by windows, and appears when I mouse over it?
[00:05] <DasEi> Redbullie: man ifup
[00:06] <fde> EvilAIM: that shouldn't cause X to not work.
[00:06] <tehan> Hi guys, I'm just trying to install ubuntu on a different computer atm and I've come to the partitioning thing where I choose how to partition... I'm aiming to dual boot XP and ubuntu, so can I partition all my c: to ubuntu?
[00:06] <fde> EvilAIM: is your box a tablet pc?
[00:06] <Ana_> DasEi it seems to be installing fine it's near end and the most weird thing is I actually didnt do anything, once I had live cd running I choose install. I'm confused
[00:06] <EvilAIM> 'fatal server error: /n no screens found'
[00:06] <EvilAIM> no
[00:06] <EvilAIM> it's desktop
[00:06] <Skky> how do I restart my audio?
[00:07] <fde> EvilAIM: cool ... 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE ... paste entire output to paste.ubuntu.com
[00:07] <Haunt_House> is there an inbuilt way to start ubuntu applications with a shortcut (like windows-E for explorer)? I'd like to set nautilus to windows E
[00:07] <Ana_> DasEi did exactly the same thing. It's installed now :), but I'm still confused
[00:07] <DasEi> Ana_: so I hope it reboots fine, I'll be back in about a hour (movie running) (and more, a few ppl around, lol)
[00:07] <fde> Skky: pulseaudio --stop && pulseaudio --start
[00:07] <Rolcol> Anyone?:   The file-select window always comes up small.  Where can I edit that?
[00:07] <keyhack> from the command line, how I install the UI packages for gnome?
[00:07] <Ana_> DasEi I did one thing actually
[00:07] <Ana_> DasEi I did enable ahci in bios
[00:08] <keyhack> the ubuntu installer failed to install it
[00:08] <serenecloud> When I suspend + resume my laptop compiz forgets all my wallpaper settings and I get black, does anyone know of a fix? (intrepid on Acer Aspire One)
[00:08] <fde> Rolcol: you can't, its an upstream bug
[00:08] <EvilAIM> oh man
[00:08] <EvilAIM> I'm in cli
[00:08] <EvilAIM> I don't REALLY wanna do that;)
[00:08] <Ana_> DasEi but even before that it reformated my drive just fine

[00:12] <x3n0> fde: will do... ty
[00:12] <EvilAIM> oh, well I'm daft
[00:12] <EvilAIM> A) I've installed 7.04...
[00:12] <fde> Guest38991: System > Administration > Software Sources ... Updates tab... near the bottom, it should say Notify me about.... choose every release or whatever
[00:12] <EvilAIM> that can't be a good way to start
[00:12] <EvilAIM> haha
[00:12] <EvilAIM> ok
[00:13] <EvilAIM> reinstalling from a newer version...;)
[00:13] <fde> EvilAIM: did you ever do what I asked?
[00:13] <Stargazer> Anybody know why Rhythmbox Music Player is only adding like 1/3 of my entire library to my mp3 player ?
[00:13] <Din|BSD> fdehow was he/she supposed to know the 10 stands for October? You assumed that he did, that was very mean, if you dont want to answer noobs question then dont, but you dont have to be rude to them.
[00:13] <EvilAIM> fde, I'm going to install 8.04 and see if that helps, but if it doesn't I'll do what you ask:)
[00:13] <apeiron> Stargazer, Are the files valid and not corrupt?
[00:13] <EvilAIM> thanks for the help, again.   I was kidding with the guy... letting him answer his own question
[00:14] <truebosko> Hi there, I want Ubuntu to use a newer version of Python then the default (2.5) .. how can I set Ubuntu up to do this?
[00:14] <apeiron> Stargazer, Not sure, then. I only have an iPhone so I can't synch under Linux AFAIK. =\
[00:14] <Din|BSD> well you didnt sound like you were kidding. heh. anyways.
[00:14] <Stargazer> Oh.... :|
[00:15]  * apeiron is looking forward to replacing it with a rockboxd iPod
[00:15] <darkhamm> how can i configure samba to share correctly folders to share with XBMC?
[00:15] <darkhamm> (please help me....)
[00:15] <zsquareplusc> truebosko: i dont think that changing the default is a good idea. however, you can install python3.0 and use #!/usr/bin/env python3  in your scripts 1st line to use it
[00:16] <Chaostos> hi...how to uninstall\remove ROOT programm from Ubuntu 8.10 ? installed it acidently using Terminal ^^
[00:16] <truebosko> zsquareplusc: Well, do you know when Ubuntu will move to Python 2.6 or 3.0 ?
[00:16] <ekontsevoy> Hey guys/gals, what kind of laptops do you use on Ubuntu or Arch? I've been trying to buy a laptop for 3 weeks... very depressing experience: just got back from Fry's where I looked at like 40 laptops.  Tried Dell Lattitude E6500 and Thinkpad T500 and sent them back paying restocking fees. At this point I'm thinking of put
[00:17] <kindofabuzz> what's the file format to make an audio cd that can play in a regular cd player? .wav?
[00:17] <fde> truebosko: going out on a limb... probably jaunty
[00:17] <musikgoat|main> ekontsevoy: its not as much the laptop itself as it is the parts inside, the chipset, the video card,  intel is a good bet
[00:17] <truebosko> ah
[00:17] <zsquareplusc> truebosko: no i dont. i'd guess that a future release will depend on 2.6. but currently a lot of software uses python and libraries. and all must be available for the version. that's why i think it wont be soon 3.0
[00:17] <Uplink> ekontsevoy: try reading Ubuntu HCL
[00:17] <truebosko> I see, ok
[00:17] <greg_> anyone able to help me set up vpn on my box?

[00:18] <someone537> is there a very small (to download) version of linux that I could run in a virtual environment on Windows Vista? I just wanna see if some c++ apps would run on it
[00:18] <fde> http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/  I guess is the closest online  :/
[00:18] <musikgoat|main> someone537: dsl  damn small linux
[00:18] <kindofabuzz> why wouldn't they? C is cross platform
[00:19] <kindofabuzz> unless you did visual c++
[00:19] <someone537> musikgoat|main: ok thanks
[00:19] <ekontsevoy> Uplink, musikgoat|main: at this point the main issue is LCD. They are *all* glossy cheap types now, without true blacks... That's the #1 priority right now - to find a laptop with a decent screen, comparable to what was available 2-3 years ago. (I do photography)
[00:20] <tehan> can anyone help me with partitioning
[00:20] <musikgoat|main> don't lenovo's have the nice matte screens?
[00:20] <musikgoat|main> ekontsevoy: ^^

[00:21] <Mo0oSaH> I just updated to Intrepid from Hardy and my vista partition doesn't show up in Grub.. Can someone help me fix this.
[00:21] <syslq> What can I use to monitor temperature and voltage?

[00:23] <insaneinside> tehan: then all your Windows will get broken. :P

[00:25] <evagreen> hi
[00:25] <Chaostos> tehan: I think you must have some space for XP left (it uses NTFS file system) and choose space for ubuntu..so its 2 partitions..
[00:25] <mannytu> !wifi
[00:25] <tehan> insaneinside, I have a 500gig ex harddrive with about 50gig of music, can i use that and still reboot and keep music?

[00:26] <shahin8r> how do i see if dri is enabled with fglrx?
[00:26] <fde> umer: grab unrar from multiverse
[00:26] <Harsha> I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing  my USB Modem. Please help.
[00:26] <umer> hmm zsq yes i know i can use unrar by using konsole but you know sometimes you hate when there are around 200 files
[00:26] <umer> :)
[00:27] <zsquareplusc> umer: use file* ;-)
[00:27] <umer> oh yes good idea

[00:28] <insaneinside> tehan: don't format or partition ANYTHING until you understand exactly what will happen
[00:28] <zsquareplusc> it's linux. where a shell is something useful :-)

[00:29] <joachimATjku> anyone having had problems upgrading from gutsy to intrepid

[00:30] <syslq> umer you like it better than suse?
[00:30] <EvolutionXtinct> would anyone be willing to help me get apache2 vhosts setup on my web server?
[00:30] <EvolutionXtinct> i'm not suer how to setup vhosts and i have 3 different domain's getting directed to the same DDNS listing
[00:30] <umer> yes it's better than suse no doubt about it . even if you compare it SLED suse linux enterprise desktop it's much better than this
[00:30] <Flannel> EvolutionXtinct: Its actually already set up.  You just need to configure more than one.  See /etc/apache2/sites-available/
[00:31] <fde> syslq: SUSE is more polished overall I think, and the buildservice is awesome... Ubuntu has its benefits too, I assume
[00:31] <EvolutionXtinct> can i just copy the one thats already listed in there and just change it to the other site needs?
[00:31] <syslq> umer I think it's really nice, the only linux so far that is usefull as desktop to somebody with normal skills
[00:31] <umer> but i am not sure about the open office novell has worked alot on open office so documents of windows 2007 works really fine on novell office
[00:31] <shadowwulf> i would like to get some help with a blank desktop and cursor in ubuntu 8.10
[00:31] <JonathanElli1> Hi, I need to move/resize my root partition but I cant boot from a live cd as my cd drive has just given up the ghost. I have a dedicated grub partition on my disk which is 8MB. I just wonder if I could put a minimal installation of ubuntu into that with just nautilus, gparted and terminal. Has anyone done something like this?
[00:31] <syslq> fde dunno, I havent use suse for 5 years now
[00:31] <syslq> fde I have just migrated from windows vista to linux desktop
[00:32] <umer> and unfortunately there is no novell open office edition for linux
[00:32] <umer> but it comes with sled i wish i will find some way to install it over ubuntu
[00:32] <fde> umer: umm, yes there is... most every distro uses novells branch
[00:32] <zsquareplusc> joachimATjku: you're supposed to upgrade gutsy->hardy->intrepid. someone else asked the same a while ago, maybe you can search the chat archive
[00:32] <JonathanElli1> umer: Ubuntu comes with OpenOffice.org preinstalled
[00:32] <umer> yes i know
[00:33] <umer> but novell open office has some extra features
[00:33] <fde> JonathanElli1: there are two branches of OpenOffice.org ... Suns and Novells
[00:33] <fde> umer: that is the version in Ubuntu
[00:33] <ConstantineXVI> umer: IIIRC those changes have beenmerged into Ooo proper
[00:33] <umer> really
[00:33] <JonathanElli1> fde: Oh I didnt know that
[00:33] <Flannel> joachimATjku: You shouldn't do it.  If you're worried about stability, you might consider sticking with 8.04.
[00:33] <umer> that's great
[00:33] <Din|BSD> Didnt Novell make deals with Micro$oft a while back?
[00:33] <syslq> What is the difference?
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> JonathanElli1: you have and other pc with cdrom? and the "broken" one support USB boot? you could put the live cd on a stick
[00:33] <EvolutionXtinct> what should a virtual host file look like
[00:33] <Flannel> joachimATjku: you'll be able to upgrade from 8.04 straight to 10.04 when its released
[00:33] <EvolutionXtinct> can i use the default one and modify that?
[00:33] <fde> umer: for instance, Tools > Macros ... that isn't in the Sun branch
[00:34] <shadowwulf> can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ??
[00:34] <Flannel> EvolutionXtinct: Yeah, and you can also copy it, etc.
[00:34] <umer> great fde
[00:34] <EvolutionXtinct> what portions do i need to change on it?
[00:34] <fde> Din|BSD: yes... they cross licensed some patents, and Microsoft agreed to market SUSE to their customers.
[00:34] <JonathanElli1> zsquareplusc: Yes I have another computer with CD. Unfortunately the one with the broken cd doesnt support usb boot
[00:34] <whabi> hello
[00:34] <Flannel> EvolutionXtinct: Put the files in /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then "enable" them by symlinking to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/  you can use the a2ensite to do this for you.
[00:34] <Antioch> Hi guys. I'm new to Intrepid. A long time ago when I installed Ubuntu we had to install a microsoft font pack to get some standard internet fonts. I can't seem to find this package in the repositories and I have noticed that many webpage fonts look different in Intrepid vs Windows. Where can I get this font pack? Thank you!!
[00:34] <shahin8r> how do i see if dri is enabled with fglrx?
[00:34] <Flannel> EvolutionXtinct: You don't need to change anything by default.  What stuff you change depends on what you want to accomplish
[00:35] <EvolutionXtinct> well mainly just want to upload a site to here and test out things.
[00:35] <umer> guyz did you try rain slick i know many if you hates games same here but it's really cool for those who cares
[00:35] <fde> Din|BSD: Note that Microsoft screwed up and licensed Unix from the wrong company... last time they did that, they paid out $1.5 billion for MP3, and Unix is more integral to Vista
[00:35] <JonathanElli1> zsquareplusc: So I was thinking about just putting a small install on to a partition but I dont want to use up nearly a gig to put the whole contents of the livecd on it.
[00:35] <Harsha> I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing  my USB Modem. Please help.
[00:35] <zsquareplusc> JonathanElli1: hm. if the partition was larger you could have copied the live cd there. or network boot. hm
[00:36] <shadowwulf>  can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ??
[00:36] <JonathanElli1> zsquareplusc: Of course I could just make a bigger partition but its a bit of a waste of space
[00:36] <kindofabuzz> can a bash script run as a symbolic link?
[00:36] <fde> kindofabuzz: uhh, sure
[00:37] <kindofabuzz> well i guess can the symbolic link to a bash script work?
[00:37] <kindofabuzz> ok
[00:37] <kindofabuzz> just checking =)
[00:37] <joachimATjku> Flannel: k thx then i wait
[00:37] <umer> yes it can
[00:37] <JonathanElli1> zsquareplusc: I have windows on that machine as well but I dont trust windows' partition manager - and anyway it wouldnt handle my ext3 partitions
[00:37] <darkhamm> how can i configure samba to share correctly folders to share with XBMC?
[00:37] <Jordan_U> kindofabuzz: Yes, and the value of $0 will be the name of the symlink rather than the actual script name
[00:37] <umer> it's like shortcut kind of a buss
[00:37] <zsquareplusc> JonathanElli1: hm. if you copy the live cd on a stick but use your hardisks grub to load kernel and initrd from the cd. that should work
[00:38] <shadowwulf>  can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ??
[00:38] <fde> kindofabuzz: a symlink is just a pointer to a different spot on the drive... it is basically the same as the actual link, but doesn't go away if the main file is deleted, which is how it differs from a hardlink
[00:38] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Blank screen before or after logging in?
[00:38] <Flannel> joachimATjku: You should still upgrade to 8.04 at least.  7.10 is only supported for about six more months
[00:38] <raven> i am havin' major trouble tryin to resize a partition with gparted
[00:38] <JonathanElli1> zsquareplusc: Thanks. Thats a good idea. I think the cd drive may work - it just suddenly wont boot
[00:38] <zsquareplusc> JonathanElli1: bah, kernel+initrn are 9.3 MB :(
[00:39] <umer> raven try fdisk :)
[00:39] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, logon screen is grey with a white line ... and the desktop is blank with no icons ... using a 8800 GTS
[00:39] <kindofabuzz> fde, ln -h for hard then?
[00:39] <zsquareplusc> umer: fdisk doesnt preserver the data on the partition
[00:39] <neztiti> guys how i can install libextractor and libqt5.dev on ubuntu 8.10
[00:39] <raven> umer, i don't know the blocks i want to use, which most CLI apps seem to want, i know i want to reduce /dev/sd1 by 39GB tho...
[00:39] <JonathanElli1> zsquareplusc: Oh no. CD drive wont even focus
[00:40] <raven> zsquareplusc, plus i need that  :P
[00:40] <lenswipe> does anyone know how to share the www directory via samba?
[00:40] <fde> kindofabuzz: default for ln is hardlink, so no flags needed
[00:40] <lenswipe> that is
[00:40] <EvolutionXtinct> for some reason i setup a site-enable of 'test' and when i go to xodus.gotdns.org/test it still goes to my wiki
[00:40] <fde> lenswipe: right click > share
[00:40] <lenswipe> so that it has read and write access only to me
[00:40] <kindofabuzz> fde ahh ok, i learn something new everday =)
[00:40] <lenswipe> afk
[00:40] <zsquareplusc> JonathanElli1: well, you could put the kernel+initrd on any disk. once it is loaded in the RAM its no longer used, so you could repartition
[00:40] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  i had this fixed once but i had to reinstall ubuntu and dont know how to fix it
[00:40] <wos> can anyone tell me how to recover data on an external harddrive i accidentally formatted while in ubuntu install?
[00:40] <raven> anyone help me with that?
[00:41] <zsquareplusc> raven: i find cfdisk much easier to use. but it wont resize partitions. you must delete and recreate (loosing its contents)
[00:41] <fde> wos: try using gparted ... it can resize ntfs
[00:41] <wos> no one?
[00:41] <Harsha> I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing  my USB Modem. Please help.
[00:41] <umer> what about qtparted
[00:41] <rug> oio
[00:41] <NBrepresent> Hi, can someone help me to interpret this error message from my logs? http://paste2.org/p/104709
[00:41] <raven> zsquareplusc, http://pastebin.com/m76fab42b
[00:42] <JonathanElli1> zsquareplusc: I think your idea about copying the live cd to a usb stick but booting from the disk based grub is the best idea. I dont want to change the grub partition anyway
[00:42] <fde> wos: it is on the Ubuntu installer
[00:42] <mEck0> hi! can someone help me configuring samba manually? I know how to do it via the gui, but want to learn it the manual way. I've read a bunch of howto's but nothing is working :-( the only folder which is being shared is always just print$, which I even haven't configured to share!
[00:42] <raven> zsquareplusc, gparted complains and lets me dump this
[00:42] <insaneinside> fde: gparted is a partition editor, not a data recovery suite...
[00:42] <fde> umer: same thing, different frontend
[00:42] <umer> hmm
[00:42] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  any ideas ?
[00:43] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Try disabling compiz. After logging in press ctrl+alt+F1 ( you will need to log in again in the tty that comes up ) then run "DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace" then ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X where you will hopefully be able to see your desktop and disable compiz permanently in preferences
[00:43] <wos> fde yes
[00:43] <wos> fde how do i __recover__ the data?
[00:43] <m1dn1ght> Is there a linux program that deals with writing over the space previously occupied by deleted files to ensure they cannot be recovered?
[00:43] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  well then theres no reason to run it .. i want compiz ... and i had it working once ... so why disable it ?
[00:43] <wos> m1dnight try boot n nuke
[00:43] <m1dn1ght> wos: I'll look it up - thanks
[00:43] <zsquareplusc> raven: i see. but cant help. what i know is that previous versions of ntfresize demanded that you defragment the disk using windows.
[00:44] <fde> wos: eh... at this point, you likely can't, as the journal his probably been written again
[00:44] <x_> hi
[00:44] <dubside> Hello there
[00:44] <wos> FUCVKKKKK
[00:44] <wos> sorry
[00:44] <Din|BSD> O.o
[00:44] <wos> OH MY GOD
[00:44] <lucax> i had to disable compiz, works horrible on intel video cards........ i dont know if i can go back to previous version of it in intrepid...?
[00:44] <fde> wos: tough way to learn the importance of backups
[00:44] <m1dn1ght> wos: wait - does using dban involve wiping the whole disk?  I was hoping to keep the exisiting data and just wipe the parts currently empty.
[00:44] <umer> fde is there any thing like yast in ubuntu .
[00:44] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Usually a white screen when logging in means that there is a driver problem screwing up 3D acceleration and thus preventing compiz from drawing
[00:45] <zsquareplusc> wos: there are undelete tools for FAT and maybe NTFS (i'd check the windows world for these) and there is just an experimental ext2 undeletze
[00:45] <Harsha> I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing  my USB Modem. Please help.
[00:45] <fde> umer: not really, guidance and the gnome-system-tools ...
[00:45] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  ok ... but the command should at least get me a desktop right ?
[00:45] <wos> zsquareplusc i have a fat32 external drive
[00:45] <Flannel> wos: Please watch your language
[00:45] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: If that is the cause of the problem, yes
[00:46] <wos> zsquareplusc, what is the name of this software>?
[00:46] <keyhack> how do I install the driver for ATI Radeon HD 3200?
[00:46] <Flannel> !undelete | wos
[00:46] <fde> raven: says the resize worked
[00:46] <zsquareplusc> Harsha: no clue, but you could use "lsusb" to read the vendor and product ID numbers and use thiese for a google search. like "1234:5678 ubuntu"
[00:47] <wos> thanks flannel
[00:47] <andresj> hey, i have the DHCP server running in my ubuntu box, and another computer just got an IP address from it (and, if i understand correctly, this means it got a lease). Why is /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases empty?
[00:47] <zsquareplusc> wos: there are recovery tools for that one. might not get 100% back but many data. i know that sandisk ships one with the faster CF cards
[00:47] <Pretto> Harsha, do you know what modem do you have?
[00:47] <wos> cF card?
[00:48] <Harsha> Pretto: yes, it is zxdsl 831aii
[00:48] <raven> fde: well it didnt... when i rebooted to a usb ubuntu to repartition the ubuntu partition to take the freespace, it was back on windows
[00:48] <serenecloud> When I suspend + resume my laptop compiz forgets all my wallpaper settings and I get black, does anyone know of a fix? (intrepid on Acer Aspire One)
[00:48] <Flannel> wos: There's a factoid, although ubottu is having issues.
[00:49] <syslq> What codecs should I use gstreamer, xine or the ones with mplayer?
[00:49] <joachimATjku> can i delete my /var/cache/apt/ before doing a dist-upgrade?
[00:49] <fde> raven: I believe the installer should be able to resize the partition too... hit custom and try... nothing is written until you hit Ok or Next or whatever it says
[00:49] <jrib> joachimATjku: use apt-get clean.  Why do you want to though?
[00:49] <wos> factoid? what?
[00:49] <Harsha> Pretto: In Windows, I need to install an driver to use the USB harddisk, but they don' t have Linux version of the driver.
[00:49] <joachimATjku> running out of disc space
[00:49] <zsquareplusc> wos: CF card -> memory used in digital cameras
[00:50] <jmccc> where does NetworkManager store its configuration?
[00:50] <Flannel> wos: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html
[00:50] <fde> raven: actually it doesn't apply anything until its done asking questions... it presents the entire process that you've requested etc... just make sure NTFS is defragmented
[00:50] <jmccc> it's not in /etc/network/interfaces anymore
[00:50] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, how long should i be waiting ?
[00:50] <raven> fde: it hasnt been defragged..... ever
[00:50] <raven> its 217GB, that would take too long :/
[00:50] <Harsha> Pretto: My modem name is "zxdsl 831aii"
[00:50] <lenswipe> fde: thing is....
[00:50] <fde> raven: then boot to Windows and do it... else you'll probably lose data if you try resizing it
[00:51] <Pretto> Harsha, do this in a terminal sudo lsusb -v| grep -i vendor
[00:51] <raven> fde,  the installer resized it on original install w/o prob..
[00:51] <lenswipe> fde: thing is... if i just right click and click share, it shares it, but i dont have read and write permissions on it (well i have read, but not write...)
[00:51] <jmccc>  /etc/network/interfaces only has lo in it now
[00:52] <shadowwulf> anybody know of a good CD labeler that will print two different labels on one sheet of paper ?
[00:52] <Flannel> wos: Nothing, you got it.
[00:52] <lenswipe> fde: r u there?
[00:52] <fde> raven: defragmentation occurs when files on an NTFS partition become dis-contiguous, which means the data is scattered across the drive rather than neatly at the begginning... which means some could be at the end where you're trying to shrink it....
[00:52] <raven> i know what it means :p
[00:52] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: It should be immediate if it worked, did you press ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X?
[00:52] <raven> im just lazy
[00:52] <raven> lol
[00:52] <fde> lenswipe: There are options for permissions of the folder  :/
[00:53] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  still a blank screen
[00:53] <jmccc> does anyone know where NetworkManager stores its config?  Maybe I'm missing something stupid...
[00:53] <fde> raven: bad time to be lazy unless you don't care about screwing up your NTFS partition?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: What gfx card do you have?
[00:53] <raven> fde, don't care THAT much
[00:53] <Pretto> jmccc, gconf i think
[00:53] <raven> fde, it'd be nice if i didnt lose it tho
[00:53] <Harsha> Pretto: I am in another operating system, can you provide me the detailed steps, that I should follow that involves Internet.
[00:53] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, i have a nvidia GTS 8800
[00:54] <jmccc> Pretto: tks, will check it out
[00:54] <fde> raven: I'm talking about there is a risk it'll never boot again
[00:54] <fde> raven: just because you don't want to defrag
[00:54] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  worked on 8.04 but doesnt work on 8.10
[00:54] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Did you install the drivers via System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[00:54] <fde> raven: there is no telling what might be at the end of the drive...
[00:54] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, i would if i could get to a desktop to see that
[00:55] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: I mean how did you install the drivers initially?
[00:55] <Pretto> Harsha, sorry, do you know if that modem is acting as an usb disc?
[00:55] <fde> raven: any important dll's though, or the kernel itself... very bad for you
[00:55] <jmccc> Pretto: you mean in ~/.gconf?
[00:55] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  i did at the time yes
[00:55] <raven> fde: don't care about the OS lol
[00:55] <lucax> extra repositories for compiz??
[00:55] <raven> fde: i am a windows expert, i can fix the OS easy
[00:55] <raven> fde: it's my saved games im worried about most, but they arent the end of the world
[00:55] <fde> raven: ok, great... then knock yourself out
[00:56] <Harsha> Pretto: No, Ubuntu does not detects the USB device.
[00:56]  * zsquareplusc whispers "backup" into raven's ear
[00:56] <jmccc> hmm, don't see anything in ~/.gconf or /etc/gconf
[00:56] <FistMaker> Hello! Can Anyone Help me set up firestarter? I cant seem to share my Internet connection to my xbox 360
[00:56] <Pretto> jmccc, what kind of info are you trying to find? wireless?
[00:57] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: To check if I understand, you installed 8.04, installed the nvidia drivers via the Hardware Drivers menu, then updgraded to 8.10 and now have a blank screen, or is this a fresh install of 8.10 where you have not yet installed the nvidia drivers?
[00:57] <fde> Jordan_U: so basically, you're pretty confused?  :P
[00:57] <Harsha> Pretto: ubuntu does not recognises it as an USB disc.
[00:57] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:57] <jmccc> Pretto: no, I need to make some changes to add some adapter configurations, I'm sshed into an intrepid box, no gui, /etc/network/interfaces only has lo now, don't see eth0 or eth1 or anything else
[00:57] <FistMaker> Intrepid
[00:57] <FistMaker> 8.10
[00:58] <FistMaker> not sure what to call it :)
[00:58] <FistMaker> = new to Ubuntu
[00:58] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: I would recommend using network manager to share the internet rather than firestarter
[00:58] <fde> FistMaker: both get the point across, saying both confirms  :)
[00:58] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, i installed 8.04 and then upgraded to 8.10 ... 8.04 worked fine and then when i upgraded it does the blank screen thing on 8.10
[00:58] <zsquareplusc> jmccc: use ssh -X and oyu can run gui apps :-)
[00:58] <Pretto> jmccc, try gconf-editor and find the following key /system/networking/, maybe it could help
[00:58] <FistMaker> How do I use network manager?
[00:58] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, i still have the option of going to 8.04 but i wanted to get 8.10 working so i wouldint have to go back to 8.04
[00:58] <re_john> Anyone know about unmounting a "disconnected" firewire external drive that mount thinks is there, but umount complains "hal" (hardware abstraction layer?) "/sbin/umount.hal: /dev/sdb5 is not recognized by hal "?
[00:58] <FistMaker> Is that another download?
[00:59] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: No, it comes with Ubuntu
[00:59] <Harsha> Pretto: No, ubuntu does not recognises it as an USB disc.
[00:59] <fde> FistMaker: NetworkManager is the computer looking thingy in the top panel towards the right
[00:59] <jmccc> Pretto: tks
[00:59] <Pretto> Harsha, sorry, I am not able to help you
[00:59] <FistMaker> ok, I see it
[00:59] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: System > Preferences > Networking, set whatever interface your xbox is connected to to "sharing"
[00:59] <fde> FistMaker: right click > edit connections ...
[01:00] <Pretto> Harsha, you must inspect kernel messages when you plug your modem
[01:00] <fde> FistMaker: (both mine and Jordan_U's advice give you the same tool)
[01:00] <FistMaker> good deal, i'm at my 360's eth1 connection
[01:00] <keyhack> how do I get the right driver for ATI Radeon HD 3200?
[01:01] <FistMaker> how do I set it to share?
[01:01] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Do you want to get your desktop back until you get the nvidia drivers fixed?
[01:01] <Harsha> Pretto: In GUI Ubuntu does not gives nay messages but how do I check Kernel messages?
[01:01] <Jordan_U> Harsha: dmesg
[01:02] <Harsha> Pretto: In GUI Ubuntu does not gives any messages, but how do I check Kernel messages?
[01:02] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, yes i do
[01:03] <Pretto> Harsha, you can use the following command in a terminal screen: tail -f /var/log/messages  and plug your usb modem and see what messages will be showed in the terminal
[01:03] <FistMaker> What do I do to configure it properly?
[01:03] <FistMaker> auto eth1 is set to DHCP
[01:03] <FistMaker> xbox 360 is set to same
[01:03] <pumpkinseed> hello. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this or experienced it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit with a dualcore amd chip. It seems that my 2nd CPU is always at 100% use... even when nothing is going on. Any thoughts?
[01:03] <Harsha> Jordan_U: sorry for the spelling mistake, is "dmesg" is a command to check Kernel message?
[01:03] <neztiti>  guys how i can install libextractor and libqt5.dev on ubuntu 8.10
[01:04] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Ok, go back to the terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 and run this command "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-not-working" ( make sure you capitalize the "X" in X11 )
[01:04] <Jordan_U> Harsha: Yes
[01:05] <Harsha> Pretto: Thanks, I will restart my computer and check the output for your command.
[01:05] <FistMaker> still there fde?
[01:05] <pumpkinseed> hello. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this or experienced it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit with a dualcore amd chip. It seems that my 2nd CPU is always at 100% use... even when nothing is going on. Any thoughts?
[01:05] <Harsha> Jordan_U: Thanks, I will restart my computer and check the output for your command.
[01:05] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, done
[01:05] <pumpkinseed> system monitor does not show any program using up that much cpu
[01:06] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Then you can restart X by running "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart" or going back with ctrl+alt+F1 then hitting ctrl+alt+backspace

[01:11] <pumpkinseed> buster_hymen: guess its just one more bug in a multitude of bugs

[01:12] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: Did sharing via network-manager not work?
[01:12] <pumpkinseed> buster_hymen: let me ask you... how many issues with linux do you have a week?
[01:12] <joachimATjku> whats the standard kernel version for 8.04
[01:12] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, ok now im back to the same issue i had in the first place
[01:12] <Buster_Hymen> pumpkinseed:  zero, usually.  Well let me qualify that. Once i get a service running properly, zero
[01:13] <Pretto> xiamx, sorry, i thought you wanted to disable it
[01:13] <FistMaker> I'm not sure what to set up in Network manager
[01:13] <Buster_Hymen> pumpkinseed:  getting them to run the way I want might take some effort though...
[01:13] <FistMaker> i have 2 connection
[01:13] <FistMaker> eth0 is my internet
[01:13] <FistMaker> eth1 is my Lan/hub
[01:13] <greg_> anyone help me set up my ubuntu box as a pptp server
[01:13] <xiamx> Pretto: thanks anyway
[01:13] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: Set eth1 to "sharing mode"
[01:13] <FistMaker> i have set both to share, but no dice
[01:14] <nephlim> will gutsy get flaky if i hot swap a USB keyboard?
[01:14] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: The one connected to the internet should *not* be set to share, only the one actually sharibg
[01:14] <Buster_Hymen> nephlim:  it shouldn't
[01:14] <nephlim> thanks Buster_Hymen
[01:14] <Buster_Hymen> np
[01:14] <pumpkinseed> buster_hymen: I don't get it. I have major issues all the time. Just today, I tried using my DVD burner for the first time. K3b made two coasters, back to back... Turns out it doesn't like my drive or something. I also had a ton of bugs with my cursor
[01:14] <FistMaker> Shared to other computers?
[01:14] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: Yes
[01:14] <pumpkinseed> buster_hymen: Sorry to do this. I just feel like going back to windows.
[01:15] <Buster_Hymen> pumpkinseed:  are you using a branded computer?  that could be an issue.  I had a dell and linux did NOT play nice with it
[01:15] <joachimATjku> i gotta problem ...i deleted the apt cache manually before dist-upgrading ...now it says 0 updated 0 installed 425 not updated
[01:15] <joachimATjku> how can i update the missing 425 packages
[01:15] <jrib> joachimATjku: um, why did you ignore what I told you?
[01:15] <joachimATjku> i allready did it before
[01:16] <Jordan_U> joachimATjku: How did you dist-upgrade, using update manager?
[01:16] <jrib> joachimATjku: huh?
[01:16] <joachimATjku> apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:16] <FistMaker> no dice. Xbox failed DNS
[01:16] <wedgeoflemon> how do you install java?
[01:16] <bazhang> !java
[01:16] <dubside> Does Firefox ever become unresponsive randomly for anyone else with 8.4 ?
[01:16] <idea4gud> any standard way to install oracle DB
[01:16] <dubside> apt-get?
[01:16] <pumpkinseed> buster_hymen: I built this machine. I've been in the game since I was 14 (I'm 28 now)... Never once had a machine that ever played nice with linux. I've been futzing with it for 10 years on and off on various systems. There are always over a dozen issues. Hardware incompatabilities, the works
[01:16] <joachimATjku> jrib: u told me after i had allready deleted the cache
[01:16] <keithclark> any ideas on how to get a broadcom wireless connection to work?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> joachimATjku: Changing your sources.list and running apt-get dist-upgrade is not the proper way to upgrade Ubuntu releases
[01:17] <nephlim> woohoo, it worked
[01:17] <pumpkinseed> oh well
[01:17] <sambagirl> does ubuntu ver 5.04 support wireless?
[01:17] <Scunizi> !wireless | keithclark
[01:17] <Jordan_U> keithclark: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[01:17] <jrib> sambagirl: 5.04 is not supported anymore
[01:17] <joachimATjku> mhmm never did it in another way
[01:17] <wedgeoflemon> does what is listed on the java thing support 8.10?
[01:17] <keithclark> Jordan_U: Did that, nothing
[01:17] <bazhang> sambagirl, that is end of life, get a more recent version
[01:17] <FistMaker> Jordan_U: did not work, Xbox failed DNS
[01:17] <idea4gud> how to install oracle DB
[01:17] <pumpkinseed> bye guys... when it takes more time to fix bugs than the time I have to use my system its time to go to a better os
[01:17] <joachimATjku> sooooo is there a solution to my problem? ^
[01:17] <Buster_Hymen> pumpkinseed:  well damn! lol, don't play lottery.  I'll be honest though, I find that *nix is much more suitable as a server platform than a productivity desktop/workstation/notebook
[01:17] <jrib> joachimATjku: are you trying to use dist-upgrade to upgrade between releases?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> sambagirl: Yes, but not very well, why are you using a completely unsupported version of Ubuntu from 2005?
[01:18] <pumpkinseed> buster_hymen: yeah, I hear you.
[01:18] <sambagirl> i have 8.1 but the cd is damaged and i dont have any blank ones to redo it so i can install it for my needs so i happened to have a bunch of 5.x sitting aorund and just used that.
[01:18] <Pici> Jordan_U: No, actually, its not. Following the documented upgrade procedures (do-release-upgrade or update-manager) is the proper way to upgrade to a new release.
[01:18] <bazhang> sambagirl, its not supported
[01:18] <pumpkinseed> buster_hymen: thanks for chatting. and take care of yourself
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Pici: Re-read what I said, that's what I was telling him :)
[01:18] <FistMaker> Jordan_U: did not work, Xbox failed DNS
[01:19] <joachimATjku> i changed the sources.list from gutsy to hardy debs and ran an update and afterwards dist-upgrade
[01:19] <Pici> Jordan_U: sorry, missed a key word in there :)
[01:19] <jrib> joachimATjku: that's not how you upgrade
[01:19] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  any ideas ?
[01:19] <Buster_Hymen> pumpkinseed:  you too!
[01:19] <joachimATjku> thats how i allways did it ( ....well worked in debian (sid) )
[01:20] <jrib> joachimATjku: sure, but that is not how you upgrade ubuntu
[01:20] <joachimATjku> so how can i get my missing 425 packages :D
[01:20] <jrib> joachimATjku: did packages actually install from hardy?
[01:20] <Bogus8> Please help... I'm trying to install clamAV on a live cd to check a windows partition but apt-get isn't finding it... is there a repos that I need to add to my sources list?
[01:20] <joachimATjku> yeah bout 400 did install
[01:20] <sambagirl> here is a question.
[01:21] <hotmonkeyluv> If I had to choose a brand new graphics card under $200, but over $100 with COMPLETE linux compatiblity, what would you suggest
[01:21] <jrib> joachimATjku: well you have to mess around with apt-get and dpkg now...
[01:21] <joachimATjku> have not rebooted yet :D (I am afraid) :D
[01:21] <sambagirl> is there a way that i can install 8.1 iso over my network?
[01:21] <centaur5> jrib: Just out of curiosity what is the proper way to upgrade on a command line system if that's not how to do it?
[01:21] <BridgeInhabitant> fg
[01:21] <keithclark> Ok, thanks.  I must follow pumpkinseed back to windows as well.  I hope that the wireless drivers are fixed in a future release.
[01:21] <jrib> !upgrade > centaur5
[01:21] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: You can try using the generic graphics drivers: run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-not-working /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then open your xorg.conf with "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and change Driver nvidia to Driver vesa
[01:21] <level15> Hi: I just installed 8.10 and the  multimedia keys of my MS wireless keyboard 3000 do not work anymore. Any ideas?

[01:28] <whyameye> I need to get a PCI IEEE1394 card that I KNOW will absolutely work in 8.04. Recommendations?
[01:28] <K_Dallas> ConstantineXVI, do they offer scanner, printers, webcams, ... all linux supported?
[01:28] <joachimATjku> jrib: so how do u normally upgrade to another version?
[01:28] <jrib> meoblast001: did you read its documentation?
[01:28] <jrib> !upgrade > joachimATjku
[01:29] <K_Dallas> ConstantineXVI, do they use ubuntu as well, btw?
[01:29] <Jordan_U> K_Dallas: Dell sells computers with Ubuntu pre-installed at http://dell.com/ubuntu I don't know about peripherals
[01:29] <ConstantineXVI> K_Dallas: ubuntu's the only linux they serve
[01:29] <joachimATjku> thx
[01:29] <meoblast001> jrib: i just realized i could lol.. im ssh'd in and had to find a way around it.... but the torrent is picking up so im not gonna cancel it
[01:29] <joachimATjku> kewl script ^

[01:29] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: That's really odd
[01:30] <ConstantineXVI> i'm nut sure if they sell printers and etc. to go with them, mostly because my old HP refuses to die
[01:30] <darkhamm> how can i configure samba to share correctly folders to share with XBMC?
[01:30] <ConstantineXVI> *not sure
[01:30] <devdavad> can anyone here please tell me how to turn off the synaptics touchpad in the xorg.conf?
[01:30] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, not sure what to do now
[01:31] <dimedo_> darkhamm, start nautilus with sudo to gain root access, then rightclick on a folder and see the share tab
[01:31] <K_Dallas> Jordan_U, ConstantineXVI I see. My problem is that I am in the process of introducing linux to a lot of people (hopefully an install-fest in the spring) but frankly if they ask me if their printer, scanner, ... works with linux, I might not be able to answer completely and I need to have a place where I could refer them to to get whatever they want and still be sure that linux would fully recognize them
[01:31] <bazhang> K_Dallas, check the hcl
[01:31] <bazhang> !hcl
[01:31] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Neither am I :( Can you see if an 8.10 liveCD works?
[01:32] <K_Dallas> thanks bazhang

[01:33] <xiangfu> how to restart usb. seems there something wrong with my USB. every times i just reboot the system , it's work again, how to restart it ,without "reboot"
[01:33] <dimedo_> bazhang, do you know if there is a way to allow non root users to setup smb shars?
[01:33] <bazhang> dimedo_, you read the samba docs?
[01:33] <dimedo_> bazhang, never
[01:33] <bazhang> !samba
[01:33] <darkhamm> dimedo_: my only problem is when i try to open new file in ext3 partition, xbmc let me see, but don't open
[01:34] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, 8.10 live cd woks
[01:34] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, works
[01:34] <level15> ubottu: filesystem

[01:35] <Scunizi> Although not recommended, sometimes the latest Nvidia driver (from the site) can solve some issues. All the posts describing how to install it are pretty straight forward.  However none of them mention how to revert to a different driver if needed.. any ideas?
[01:35] <necrogami|work> How does one add a pre existing windows XP to Grub from the grub commandline?
[01:35] <teethlikelions> is it possible to invoke Ctrl+Alt+F7 from a shell script?
[01:35] <bazhang> necrogami|work, ubuntu will pick it up when installing
[01:35] <dimedo_> darkhamm, i'm using ext3 too, never had problems with such things, all files are listed and can be played back by my xbmc
[01:36] <jrib> teethlikelions: chvt maybe
[01:36] <dimedo_> darkhamm, but i don't use xbmc stable, i use a tech build about 3 months old
[01:36] <JoeDaMac> Hello all!
[01:36] <teethlikelions> jrib: thanks for the suggestion, i'll give it a shot!
[01:36] <level15> necrogami|work: add something like whats on this pastebin to your menu.lst  http://pastebin.com/mb7d6022
[01:36] <JoeDaMac> Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=977048&page=2
[01:36] <darkhamm> dimedo_ : right, i've this issue before 5 months
[01:37] <necrogami|work> Bazhang: this install of ubuntu is older ... on a drive that wasn't used .. it has the MBR on it .. and the drive we just pulled out had the previous windows MBR on it ..so i have a full windows drive without a MBR i just need to add it to the grub so i can boot into it..
[01:37] <dimedo_> darkhamm, did you try to alter the permissions of your files?
[01:37] <necrogami|work> level15: i'm asking from grub commandline
[01:37] <necrogami|work> not menu.lst
[01:37] <dimedo_> darkhamm, set a file to 666 and try, maybe thats the problem
[01:37] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Is it possible that the upgrade didn't complete for some reason?
[01:38] <Scunizi> necrogami|work: here's what mine looks like.. you can probably patch your with similar lines.. sudo fdisk -l will show you what partitions are what.  http://pastebin.com/f1e55b99
[01:38] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, pretty sure it did ... but if it hadnt ... how would i check ?
[01:38] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, or reset everything ?
[01:38] <darkhamm> dimedo_: not , but when i download some multimedia file, if i don't change permission, i can't open with xbmc, and no problems in ubuntu
[01:38] <dimedo_> any idea how to setup xined to let other pcs access my tcp 6566 scanner share?
[01:38] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: If it didn't complete then "sudo dpkg --configure -a" should complete it
[01:39] <necrogami|work> FROM GRUB COMMAND LINE .... I'm NOT IN ubuntu i'm at the bootloader commandline
[01:39] <dimedo_> darkhamm, so you can open some files?
[01:39] <greg_> can anyone plllleeease help me set up my ubuntu box so i can VPN in from outside and access my Samba shares
[01:39] <thefawk> someone knows of a repository to upgrade to openoffice.org 3? the one one at launchpad is not working anymore (get 404)
[01:39] <sambagirl> umm this version is hoary hedgehog
[01:40] <Jordan_U> necrogami|work: IIRC you use the same lines that you would add to the menu.lst and just enter them directly at the prompt ( to boot windows, it won't modify the menu.lst permanently )
[01:40] <zsquareplusc> greg_ i'm using ssh/sftp in such cases. more secure :-)
[01:40] <darkhamm> dimedo_: when i build a samba share, i can run everything, when i download something in the share, xbmc let me see the file but don't open
[01:40] <Scunizi> sambagirl: that's ancient history
[01:40] <greg_> zsquare - i would like it so I could for example mount one of my samba shares as a network drive from work...
[01:40] <JoeDaMac> Fist time using any kind of linux. Booting off the live CD, not getting ANY video, whatsoever, Monitor out of range. Even with the textonly install. DVI to HDMI cable from mac mini to my display. Tried the 2 most recent versions, textonly and livecd. Same problem with all of them.
[01:41] <thefawk> what monitor are you using joe?
[01:42] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, same thing ... white line with grey and a blank desktop
[01:42] <dimedo_> darkhamm, could you please type umask and tell me what it prints out?
[01:42] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, with a cursor
[01:42] <JoeDaMac> Its actually an HD TV with HDMI in
[01:42] <JoeDaMac> widescreen, 27"
[01:42] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: Was there a cursor before as well?
[01:42] <thefawk> try with a regular monitor first
[01:42] <JoeDaMac> can't =(
[01:42] <thefawk> then you can install what you need to get hdmi video
[01:42] <JoeDaMac> well, I could, but that would require getting a monitor ;)
[01:42] <wos> can anyone help me with a rescubuntu usb image install please?
[01:43] <thefawk> try to get one, I don't know how to fix it without x server
[01:43] <JoeDaMac> Hmm. Thing is, I *was* able to get video at one point.
[01:43] <necrogami|work> Jordan_U: From Grub Command line how do i check which drives are available.
[01:43] <zsquareplusc> greg_: if it is across the internet, i'd use some VPN or ssh tunnel. but IT departments are usually not very happy with users doing their own VPN ;-)
[01:43] <bazhang> wos what is rescubuntu
[01:43] <JoeDaMac> In the text only install, I just hit return a few times during boot, brought me to a text only installation/cd check screen
[01:43] <wos> bazhang, http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/Download
[01:44] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U,  yes
[01:44] <thefawk> I have no idea I have never used a hdmi screen to install, you can try the safe mode I guess.
[01:44] <wos> bazhang could you help me please
[01:44] <thefawk> is the second option, you can blindly try to hit it pushing down once and enter I guess
[01:44] <bazhang> wos what is the problem
[01:44] <JoeDaMac> Ooo
[01:44] <JoeDaMac> Cool
[01:44] <bazhang> wos that is 3rd party software

[01:47] <lenswipe> at the say so of a guide on ubuntuforums i chmodded my /var/www directory to enable it to be readable and writeable by samba (only for selected users)
[01:47] <lenswipe> i was told

[01:47] <lenswipe> sudo chmod -R 771 /var/www
[01:47] <lenswipe> im sure you can all imagine what that would do, my website is no longer readable by apache, and yes, i can easily put it back to 775 except that i run a phpbb board
[01:48] <lenswipe> so lots of different things have dfferent levels of permissions
[01:48] <wos> well i dont know what happened, i was in the ubuntu install partitioning menu and the drive has disappeared off the radar on both windows and ubuntu ever since then :(
[01:48] <dimedo_> darkhamm, if you're still there, i'm quite sure i know how to fix your problem...
[01:48] <level15> lenswipe: pm me
[01:48] <syslq_> Alsamixer does not complain but I get no sound, nothing is muted. Ubuntu 8.10
[01:48] <lenswipe> level15: how?
[01:48] <syslq_> Any ideas?
[01:48] <thefawk> wos open terminal and fdisk and see where your drive went to
[01:48] <lenswipe> level15: pm me, im not good with pidgin...
[01:49] <level15> lenswipe: lol, me neither... let's see
[01:49] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, ideas ?
[01:49] <greg_> can someone please help me set up my computer as a PPTP server?
[01:50] <shadowwulf> anybody want to help me with a grey and white logon and a blank screen after logon
[01:50] <wos> thefawk it shows up in windows under the partitioning utility that comes with windows. it shows up as unallocated space
[01:50] <jrgp> I've got a raid5 with 3 identical drives with mdadm mounted at /home. I changed my hostname and since then I've gotta start the raid manually. can I fix this?
[01:50] <thefawk> fix your grub resolution shadow
[01:51] <shadowwulf> thefawk, how ?
[01:51] <the_dark_warrio> I have an asus p5rd1-vm mother board, with integrated video card, but running glxinfo, says redirect rendering is No. What this means?
[01:51] <thefawk> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:51] <wos> thefawk are you there
[01:51] <thefawk> yes wos
[01:51] <shadowwulf> thefawk, and type in what then ?
[01:52] <wos> thefawk what should i do?
[01:52] <Guest35970> can I add port into DNS server ?
[01:52] <Guest35970> Hic
[01:52] <Jordan_U> shadowwulf: I don't think this will help, but a way to sort of reset everything would be to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical -a" ( it will take a while )
[01:53] <shadowwulf> Jordan_U, ok, ill try that if thefawk idea doesnt work
[01:53] <vahnx> Within Ubuntu 8.10 there is a Create USB Stick feature. Will that format the USB device?
[01:54] <shadowwulf> thefawk, what do i type in menu.lst ??
[01:54] <bazhang> vahnx, to build a bootable usb stick? sure
[01:54] <vahnx> Just wondering, thanks.
[01:54] <thefawk> shadow look for this line in your gedit: splash vga=xxx and change it to a generic one
[01:55] <idea4gud> http://www.pythian.com/blogs/654/installing-oracle-11g-on-ubuntu-linux-710-gutsy-gibbon
[01:55] <idea4gud> i am foll this
[01:55] <vahnx> I know VirtualBox doesn't boot from USB, but what other Virtual Machine softwate would?
[01:55] <idea4gud> for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S ; do ln -s /etc/rc$i.d /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d ; done what does this line
[01:56] <toyo|desk> hey guys
[01:56] <vahnx> Hello
[01:56] <vahnx> I should be studying for a Networking test tomorrow, oh well.
[01:56] <toyo|desk> do any of you know if there is a way to add a terminal link to the right click function of the desktop
[01:56] <vahnx> I'll do it later.
[01:56] <shadowwulf> thefawk, i see a splash word at the end of the kernal line but no VGA
[01:56] <toyo|desk> so you right click the desktop and have a open terminal button
[01:57] <toyo|desk> I am used to opensuse
[01:57] <toyo|desk> they have it setup like that
[01:57] <vahnx> I just googled it and I see a few results on that.
[01:57] <the_dark_warrio> How can I turn Direct Rendering On?
[01:57] <FistMaker> OK, i've read and performed the steps for setting up NAT and DHCP and my ICS is still not working
[01:57] <vahnx> Just install the 'nautilus-open-terminal' package, log out and back again (or run 'killall nautilus'). Now you have the terminal in your right-click menu.
[01:57] <zsquareplusc> idea4gud: looks like someone not knowing about update-rc.d look at that programs man page to get an idea
[01:57] <Jordan_U> the_dark_warrio: Install the proper drivers for your gfx card
[01:57] <toyo|desk> thanks vahnx
[01:57] <toyo|desk> :)
[01:57] <vahnx> I got that from Google
[01:57] <vahnx> Not sure if it will work
[01:57] <vahnx> Sounds like it will though
[01:58] <DasEi> Ana_: you're fine ?
[01:58] <zsquareplusc> idea4gud: it creates links to the runlevels, so that a service is started when the computer boots
[01:58] <FistMaker> Can someone help me set up internet connection sharing please?
[01:58] <the_dark_warrio> Jordan_U: Ubuntu indeed installed the driver, but there is no direct rendering
[01:58] <vahnx> If my one classmate was here he knows how to network share.
[01:58] <shadowwulf> thefawk, i see a splash word at the end of the kernal line but no vga
[01:59] <FistMaker> my xbox 360 fails DNS everytime
[01:59] <FistMaker> cannot get it connected
[01:59] <vahnx> Does it work in a different OS? Just a way of troubleshooting.
[01:59] <FistMaker> i've followed the steps for ICS,NAT and DHCP on the main site, but it's not working
[02:00] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: Is there a DHCP server setup on your LAN?
[02:00] <FistMaker> Yes
[02:00] <zsquareplusc> your's or the ISps one?
[02:00] <FistMaker> Set it up according to the documentation on the support site
[02:00] <toyo|desk> thanks a lot vahnx that did the trick
[02:00] <toyo|desk> :)
[02:00] <vahnx> Sweet
[02:00] <the_dark_warrio> "Direct Rendering" can be enabled with any graphic card? Event if it is onboard?
[02:01] <vahnx> Yeah Google is a good place to search for that stuff.
[02:01] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: Then you need to setup your xbox manually so the gateway is set to your Ubuntu machine rather than the other dhcp server
[02:01] <vahnx> I hate Yahoo and Windows Live search
[02:01] <gregbrady> How do I install the Compiz settings manager?
[02:01] <idea4gud> zsquareplusc : ok just to make oracle start at run time we do pdate-rc.d
[02:01] <bazhang> !ccsm
[02:01] <FistMaker> what should I set the gw for my xbox?
[02:01] <FistMaker> which I.P.?
[02:01] <greg_> anyone able to help me with open vpn?
[02:02] <gregbrady> bazhang: Thank you
[02:02] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: The ip of our Ubuntu machine
[02:02] <toyo|desk> vahnx, yeah I was just getting really irritated not having my rightclick terminal
[02:02] <FistMaker> the I.P. for eht1 or eth0?
[02:02] <vahnx> That does seem useful, maybe I should do it too.
[02:02] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: The ip for eth1
[02:02] <shadowwulf> thefawk, any ideas ?? -i see a splash word at the end of the kernal line but no vga
[02:02] <FistMaker> ok, i'll give that a shot
[02:03] <bryan> can someone help with installing openoffice? i have kubuntu intrepid which came with 2.4.  today, i tried to upgrade to 3.0 and it failed, now i can't install 2.4 or 3.0
[02:03] <toyo|desk> vahnx, another thing I suggest is gnome-do
[02:03] <toyo|desk> its pretty sweet
[02:03] <valdirsjr> join django-br
[02:03] <vahnx> What'ts it do?
[02:03] <Jordan_U> bryan: How did you try to upgrade?
[02:03] <vahnx> I'm installing it right now don't know what it does though hehe
[02:03] <toyo|desk> you press a hotkey or a key sequence and it opens up a run dialogue
[02:04] <toyo|desk> let me find its web page
[02:04] <toyo|desk> http://do.davebsd.com/
[02:04] <toyo|desk> think thats the site
[02:04] <bryan> Jordan_U: i added this to sources.list http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
[02:04] <thefawk> shadow add vga=773 after the splash; this will set your resolution to 1024x768 @ 8-bit depth (color), is a very universal resolution, most monitors will display it
[02:04] <idea4gud> i did nasty thing was tryin to edit etc/sysctl.conf and some how it crashed
[02:04] <idea4gud> now i hae 2 files
[02:05] <idea4gud> one original other .swp extension
[02:05] <vahnx> looks like quicksilver on the mac
[02:05] <vahnx> whats the default hotkey?
[02:05] <gregbrady> How do I install java support in Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit edition
[02:05] <toyo|desk> vahnx, that is what it is
[02:05] <toyo|desk> same code
[02:05] <shadowwulf> thefawk, ok that changed the text to smaller ... but it didnt help my overall problem ... still white line and grey screen ... blank desktop
[02:05] <toyo|desk> different name
[02:05] <vahnx> sweet
[02:05] <vahnx> i never use macs but i watched techtv lots
[02:05] <toyo|desk> yeah
[02:05] <toyo|desk> its quicksilver
[02:06] <bryan> Jordan_U: when i did an upgrade, it failed, then i tried to uninstall it. now i'm way over my head
[02:06] <Jordan_U> bryan: What happened when you tried to update, was there an error message?
[02:06] <vahnx> Tried installing OS X on my laptop but it takes 2 hours and theres a chance it doesn't work
[02:06] <toyo|desk> :/
[02:06] <darth10> just type sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, gregbrady
[02:06] <toyo|desk> yeah
[02:06] <gregbrady> darth10: Will do, thanks
[02:06] <toyo|desk> vahnx, yeah there are some cool plugins for gnome-do as well
[02:06] <bryan> Jordan_U: i believe openoffice.org-core was held back
[02:06] <FistMaker> Now it's WORSE
[02:06] <bryan> which caused everything to fail
[02:06] <FistMaker> Now the I.P. fails and it wont even attempt to set up the dan
[02:06] <FistMaker> *DNS
[02:07] <Fresh78> skoooodie whooooo
[02:07] <Jordan_U> bryan: Can you pastebin the output from "sudo apt-get -f install" ?
[02:07] <Fresh78> whats up?
[02:07] <vahnx> Does gnome-do create a shortcut launcher somewhere?
[02:07] <Fresh78> whys 8.04 so dang on slow at times
[02:07] <toyo|desk> it sits in the notification area
[02:07] <gregbrady> bazhang: worked perfectly, thanks again.
[02:07] <vahnx> Oh yeah I see that now
[02:07] <toyo|desk> or whatever
[02:07] <bazhang> Fresh78, you need to provide specific info
[02:07] <FistMaker> Jordan_U: Now I.P fails. What do I do now?
[02:07] <toyo|desk> I make it start on my session start by adding it to sessions
[02:08] <bryan> Jordan_U: no errors just: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[02:08] <Jordan_U> FistMaker: I don't know
[02:08] <vahnx> in preferences theres a checkbox to start at login
[02:08] <Fresh78> specific? feels like I'm diving a chevrolet
[02:08] <Fresh78> lol
[02:08] <toyo|desk> yeah or that
[02:08] <toyo|desk> :P
[02:08] <vahnx> super+space is the shortcut =D
[02:08] <toyo|desk> vahnx, I decided the checkbox was just too ez
[02:08] <toyo|desk> :P
[02:08] <bazhang> Fresh78, do you have a support question? or just wish to chat
[02:08] <toyo|desk> vahnx, you can change it
[02:08] <GAZ082> Aww, still supporting random loggin-offs
[02:08] <vahnx> Ah ;D I'm a fan of automation
[02:09] <toyo|desk> I made mine ctrl+space
[02:09] <Fresh78> oh this just support
[02:09] <Fresh78> peace yall
[02:09] <FistMaker> ... I've been trying to set up ICS for two days now
[02:09] <bazhang> yep
[02:09] <bryan> Jordan_U: right now i have the openoffice 3.0 repository disabled
[02:09] <vahnx> super space seems good. i think my ctrl+space etc. is binded by compiz
[02:09] <vahnx> actually i might change it to alt+space
[02:09] <vahnx> like launchy
[02:09] <ardchoille> Is there a gnome equivalent to kde's katapult? That seems to be all I'm missing
[02:09] <toyo|desk> oh yeah I ripped off my left hand super button because I got pissed off in windows while playing a game I hit it and the damn start menu popped up
[02:10] <vahnx> hehe
[02:10] <vahnx> my friend had os x on his desktop but removed it because when he played wow the doc kept popping up
[02:10] <vahnx> i told him he could hide it n stuff but too late
[02:10] <toyo|desk> lame
[02:10] <bryan> he he he
[02:10] <FistMaker> is there another place I can go for help other than this channel for help with Internet Connection issues?
[02:10] <Fresh78> hey baz whats a good chat server?
[02:11] <toyo|desk> ardchoille, what is katapult?
[02:11] <musikgoat|main> FistMaker: not really, not if its ubuntu related
[02:11] <FistMaker> how do I start from scratch with this then
[02:11] <toyo|desk> I believe that gnome-do is the same thing
[02:11] <Milos_SD> Hello all... I changed /bin/sh to be run by dash by doing: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash, how can I return it to default - to be bash?
[02:11] <FistMaker> I want to start all over with the network
[02:11] <jrib> Milos_SD: the default is dash
[02:11] <ardchoille> toyo|desk: ah, thanks
[02:11] <bryan> Jordan_U: how can i get back to openoffice 2.4?
[02:11] <MTeck> Anybody know how to make screen start detached?
[02:12] <FistMaker> i've tried Firestarter, ICS, NAT and DHCP3
[02:12] <FistMaker> im not sure what to even try to configure anymore
[02:12] <Jordan_U> bryan: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org" should do it
[02:12] <toyo|desk> ardchoille, yes gnome-do is the same thing
[02:12] <ardchoille> toyo|desk: installing it now :)
[02:12] <toyo|desk> cool
[02:13] <musikgoat|main> FistMaker: maybe detailing all you've done in the forums would be the best approach
[02:13] <jrib> MTeck: -d  (see 'man screen')
[02:13] <Milos_SD> jrib, are you sure?
[02:13] <fattmoley> Does anyone have any experience setting up a mobile broadband card? I can't seem to get mine to work...
[02:13] <jrib> Milos_SD: yes
[02:13] <toyo|desk> brb
[02:13] <musikgoat|main> FistMaker: then coming back with all the details, or wait for a reply on the forums
[02:13] <Jordan_U> fattmoley: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:14] <bryan> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m77a12031
[02:14] <gregbrady> darth10: done, but my browser still does not show java enable pages.
[02:15] <level15> gregbrady: 64 bits?
[02:15] <Buster_Hymen> which is the best filesystem for a laptop installation?
[02:15] <Buster_Hymen> and by best i mean fastest while still being reasonably bulletproof
[02:15] <gregbrady> level15: yes
[02:15] <Jordan_U> bryan: Sorry, try "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer"
[02:15] <Vy_purPle> haiiiiiiii
[02:15] <level15> gregbrady: last time i checked, there was no java plugin for 64 bit linux
[02:16] <darth10> gregbrady, send me the output of 'java -version'
[02:16] <level15> you could use a browser which uses the JRE directly, konqueror, for example. that should work
[02:16] <Frogzoo> Buster_Hymen: ext3 of course
[02:16] <darth10> ya dat cud work 2...
[02:16] <level15> Buster_Hymen: i like reiserfs over the rest
[02:16] <someone537> hey guys, I'm in live Damn Small Linux (through VMware) session. how can I run an executable that's stored in on my windows os?
[02:16] <Milos_SD> jrib, well... I only see .bash in my home folder... :S
[02:16] <darth10> mozilla has a jre plugin rite?
[02:16] <bryan> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m6826b4a0
[02:17] <Frogzoo> Buster_Hymen: thing to remember about laptops, is crashes due to low battery are common
[02:17] <Buster_Hymen> Frogzoo, level15 :  Those two always seem to come up.  what's the big difference between the two?  Also, how does JFS compare?
[02:17] <apeiron> darth10, Several.
[02:17] <jrib> Milos_SD: dash is what /bin/sh is linked to by default.  Your user's shell is still bash by default
[02:17] <Dante123> hey is there a wine irc chat??
[02:17] <Frogzoo> Dante123: #winehq
[02:17] <jrib> !wine | Dante123
[02:17] <Dante123> Frogzoo thanks!
[02:17]  * jrib looks at ubottu
[02:17] <gregbrady> darth10: http://www.pastebin.ca/1263265
[02:17] <Buster_Hymen> Frogzoo: right.  but both ext3 and ReiserFS (and jfs too, if i'm not mistaken) are journaled, right?
[02:17] <apeiron> !helpp
[02:17] <apeiron> !help
[02:17] <level15> i have no experience with jfs. i've read/heard that reiserfs is faster than ext3. i have forced checks of ext2 and ext3 so i prefer reiser
[02:18] <Milos_SD> jrib, ok... thanks ... So I didn't do anything that will brake my system :)
[02:18] <jrib> Milos_SD: nope
[02:18] <greg_> can anyone help me set up openvpn to allow me to get access to my samba shares outside of my network?
[02:18] <metbsd> ext3/2 is more mature
[02:18] <apeiron> laggy bot is laggy
[02:18] <level15> but reiser is dying since its lead developer is going to jail, if he's not there already
[02:18] <somat> i have a bit problem with samba, some body help me ?
[02:18] <jrib> somat: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[02:18] <darth10> gregbrady, huh seems ok.....get a java plugin for the browser ur using...
[02:18] <level15> Buster_Hymen: yes, they are all journaled
[02:18] <Frogzoo> level15: reiser's been in jail for ages
[02:19] <gregbrady> darth10: browser is firefox
[02:19] <Buster_Hymen> level15:  yeah i tried reiser on a test box and it's pretty fast.  it's considered as reliable as ext3 right?
[02:19] <Frogzoo> Buster_Hymen: not really
[02:19] <level15> Buster_Hymen: IMHO, it is more stable than ext3... but you'll find ppl who will tell you otherwise. for me it has worked just fine
[02:19] <r2s> in ubuntu 8.10... when you do modprobe.. is it gonna be permanently configured even when I restart??\
[02:19] <metbsd> what doyou guys do if the website don't run well in firefox or konqueror
[02:19] <someone537> hey guys, I'm in a live session of a generic Linux distro and I don't know how to view a directory (I tried 'ls' and 'cd' and 'dir'). all it says is 'events.cal'
[02:19] <jrib> gregbrady: you can use icedtea6-plugin for example to get java in your browser on 64bit
[02:19] <level15> r2s: no
[02:20] <jrib> someone537: -ENOCONTEXT
[02:20] <someone537> k
[02:20] <geeksquad> can you get a browser to work in emacs like a buffer
[02:20] <somat> jrib : ok, when i open a file in server, and save it, there is an error message -> 'filename' is not a directory
[02:20] <gregbrady> jrib: How to install that?
[02:20] <Buster_Hymen> Okay. looks like some google research is in order =)  but they're both very well established filesystems, right?
[02:20] <r2s> level15: how to I make them permanently modprobed ??
[02:20] <jrib> gregbrady: same as everything else, use your favorite package manager such as Synaptic
[02:20] <someone537> jrib: that did nothing. I'm in a Damn Small Linux session thru VMWare player, btw
[02:20] <gregbrady> jrib: got you.  I will try
[02:20] <jrib> somat: I meant to ask the channel
[02:21] <n8tuser> geeksquad -> elinks and w3m perhaps?
[02:21] <usser> r2s, add it /etc/modules
[02:21] <usser> r2s, *to
[02:21] <ellipsis> possibly not the best channel for this, but everyone in #php seems to be asleep
[02:21] <ellipsis> can anyone recommend a good PHP IDE that has some form of function/variable name completion...basically some form of Intellisense?
[02:21] <geeksquad> whats that i just got emacs
[02:21] <jrib> someone537: I meant you aren't providing enough context.  But you should ask the damn small linux channel, not the ubuntu channel
[02:21] <level15> r2s: add them to /etc/modprobe.d/insertyourrelevantfilenamehere
[02:21] <r2s> Thanks
[02:21] <toyo|desk> anyway
[02:21] <someone537> lol ok.. i thought it was a command
[02:21] <metbsd> why you run damn small linux
[02:21] <toyo|desk> I am back
[02:21] <n8tuser> ellipsis -> learn to be patient and wait there
[02:21] <level15> ellipsis: quanta
[02:22] <r2s> level15: thanks and this is related to my problem detecting/using ZTe MF622 3G/HSDPA Modem... anyone knows a fix??
[02:22] <someone537> jrib: very few peopl on #dsl. any ideas why a command like 'ls' would not work on DSL?
[02:22] <jrib> someone537: nope
[02:22] <level15> r2s: sorry, can't help you with winmodems
[02:22] <jrib> someone537: use an ubuntu live cd and we can help you :)
[02:23] <someone537> ok ok
[02:23] <geeksquad> diffrent shell maybe
[02:23] <somat> jrib : ok thank's
[02:23] <mewshi> Can someone please help me with my wireless?
[02:23] <bryan> Jordan_U: it still failed http://pastebin.com/m6826b4a0     could this be because there is still 3.0 package remnants?
[02:23] <metbsd> do you guys think ubuntu is better than kubuntu? if yes, why?
[02:23] <n8tuser> !ask | mewshi
[02:24] <r2s> ANyone can help me fix MF622 3G modem??
[02:24] <darth10> ubuntu rules!...more effective on memory
[02:24] <jrib> !ot | metbsd
[02:24] <geeksquad> can you get a browser to work in emacs as a buffer
[02:24] <bazhang> metbsd, ask in #ubuntu-bots or #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:24] <gregbrady> metbsd: Ubuntu is cleaner and simpler than Kubuntu.  IMHO
[02:24] <jrib> !wireless > mewshi
[02:25] <Jesus_> yea ubuntu>kubuntu
[02:25] <someone537> does KDE offer anything over gnome?
[02:25] <mewshi> Well, it keeps randomly disconnecting, and, a lot of the time, it disconnects when I launch anything that doesn't use HTTP (like Thunderbird, Pidgin, or IRC).  Also, I cannot *access* these protocols via the wireless; the wired connection, however, works just fine!  Please help :(
[02:25] <Jesus_> kde is just blue basically
[02:25] <Jesus_> blue gnome
[02:25] <someone537> lol
[02:25] <rustlerharv> I need help with a praphics issue
[02:26] <gregbrady> someone537: complexity
[02:26] <rustlerharv> whenever i use acceleration it flashes
[02:26] <someone537> more complex than gnome then? more capable?
[02:26] <Jesus_> look it up\
[02:26] <Jesus_> on youtube maby
[02:26] <geeksquad> can you get a browser to work in emacs like a buffer please helps and say what to DO
[02:26] <level15> someone537, Jesus_: you can discuss that i #flamewars :D
[02:26] <gregbrady> someone537: I find it just more confusing.
[02:26] <metbsd> i always thought kde was better than gnome
[02:26] <rustlerharv> normal use its fine but when i go in a game or something that useses 3d its like a stobe light
[02:26] <umer> is there any utility like DU meter Graphical utility
[02:26] <someone537> i did and i only figured out that kde & gnome apps need to be specific to that flavor
[02:26] <mewshi> If someone can help me, I will be *eternally* grateful
[02:26] <bazhang> take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:26] <gregbrady> someone537: I could be just set in my ways though!
[02:27] <mau> Is there a ubuntu version for Intel x64 processors?
[02:27] <level15> umer: what's du meter?
[02:27] <someone537> mau: yes
[02:27] <adred> anyone here know a howto link on how to enable video support for empathy? i can't seem to find an option for video chat..
[02:27] <level15> mau: yeah... ubuntu
[02:27] <someone537> there's a 64-bit version
[02:27] <cmdbbq> mau yes
[02:27] <mau> I checked the 64 bit button but it was downloading an amd64
[02:27] <geeksquad> mau yes i think check download site
[02:27] <mau> Ah ok
[02:27] <someone537> shoudl be the same, afaik
[02:27] <umer> du meter it's networking utility which shows you how many packets are send and receive
[02:27] <jrib> mau: that will work
[02:27] <umer> in a very good maner
[02:27] <mau> the amd64?
[02:27] <level15> amd64 = EM64T = intel 64 = x86_64
[02:27] <cmdbbq> mau it is the same thing, AMD just did 64 bit first
[02:27] <mau> ok
[02:27] <jrib> mau: it's just how the architecture is named
[02:28] <mau> thanks
[02:28] <cmdbbq> what level15 said
[02:28] <mewshi> So, does anyone have any clue what's wrong?
[02:28] <mau> Thanks again. Have a nice day!
[02:28] <level15> mau: np, u2
[02:28] <fattmoley> Is there anyone who can help set up a sprint mobile wireless card?
[02:28] <geeksquad> can you get a browser to work in emacs as a buffer tell me WHAT TO DO PLEASE
[02:29] <level15> geeksquad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3m
[02:29] <gregbrady> jrib: worked perfectly!  Thanks.
[02:30] <mewshi> Anyone at all? :(
[02:30] <bazhang> mewshi, did you read the link ubottu gave you?
[02:30] <thefawk> anyone knows of a repository to upgrade to openoffice.org 3 (intrepid)? other than launchpad, it is not working
[02:30] <jrib> geeksquad: try #emacs
[02:30] <usser> thefawk, just get the installer from openoffice.org
[02:31] <mewshi> can anyone help me?  Has anyone even bothered to answer?
[02:31] <jrib> mewshi: yes, several people actually
[02:31] <level15> mewshi: if i knew, i'd say something... the thing is, i don't
[02:31] <bazhang> mewshi, did you read the link the bot gave you?
[02:31] <geeksquad> jrib people are just lurking there
[02:31] <bazhang> mewshi, pay attention.
[02:31] <jrib> geeksquad: be patient
[02:31] <mewshi> Yes
[02:31] <mewshi> that doesn't even begin to deal with my problem
[02:32] <geeksquad> i am a very impatint 9 yr old
[02:32] <bazhang> !wireless | mewshi
[02:32] <bazhang> read those docs mewshi
[02:32] <geeksquad> so hurry
[02:32] <mewshi> it sees the device
[02:32] <mewshi> but it keeps dropping the connection
[02:33] <mewshi> And I can't use irc except through a web client.  Can't use Thunderbird...
[02:33] <geeksquad> mewshi heck the hardware
[02:33] <mewshi> What do you mean?
[02:33] <geeksquad> meant check
[02:33] <level15> mewshi: that last issue sounds more like a firewall issue
[02:33] <mewshi> It used to work fine
[02:33] <mewshi> no
[02:33] <mewshi> I think it's something with the card, because whenever I try to use irc on the wireless, it drops out
[02:34] <level15> mewshi: are you using a public network?
[02:34] <geeksquad> check the cables and find out in anyone a a device that is interfering
[02:34] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 mewshi
[02:34] <mewshi> Yes, it's a public (university) network
[02:34] <ellipsis> how do I set the default imageviewer in 8.1?
[02:35] <geeksquad> meant if anyone has a interfereing device
[02:35] <ellipsis> *image viewer
[02:35] <level15> mewshi: maybe the network admin things that's malicious traffic and decides to disconnect clients sending it
[02:35] <mewshi> No, because it does this everywhere, all the time
[02:35] <mewshi> no, I asked them, they don't block those ports.  And who would block SMTP traffic?
[02:35] <mewshi> And that STILL wouldn't solve the problem of my wireless connecting, on average, every 45 seconds
[02:36] <creative2bad> how can i install proftpd without having to add users .. IE: use the userinfo thats already in the machine thats been building up when i add users ?
[02:36] <level15> mewshi: then, no, sorry, I am clueless abt the cause of your issues
[02:36] <geeksquad> mewshi a retarded idiot
[02:36] <OB1FoShoB> is the compiz burn effect gone in 8.10?
[02:36] <geeksquad> the fire one i thin is gone
[02:36] <mewshi> Disconnecting*
[02:36] <OB1FoShoB> :-(
[02:36] <metbsd> what's diff between wubi and normal install
[02:36] <sachael> anyone know a minimalistic GUI email client?
[02:37] <geeksquad> wubi is virtual disk
[02:37] <OB1FoShoB> that was SO cool, i wann it back...waaaaa
[02:37] <arktvrvs> mutt ;)
[02:37] <mewshi> So, no one has any ideas?
[02:37] <mindrape> webmail ftw
[02:37] <geeksquad> nope the geeks have been met
[02:37] <geeksquad> !ftw
[02:37] <metbsd> but wubi ubuntu is running faster than normal ubuntu?
[02:37] <usser> sachael, mutt
[02:37] <mindrape> geeksquad: for the win.  :)
[02:38] <keyhack> Is there a way to adjust overscan in gnome? there is black space on the edges of the TV
[02:38] <geeksquad> oh
[02:38] <bazhang> mewshi, we have given you some docs to read; you have provided very sparse info and have not said what errors you have received nor what you have tried
[02:38] <usser> sachael, xmail
[02:38] <sachael> usser, thanks, I know mutt, never found time to learn it, but im looking for GUI
[02:38] <usser> sachael, err not xmail, xmail is something else
[02:38] <sachael> oh, ok  I'lll check it out
[02:38] <arktvrvs> curses is GUI ;D
[02:38] <jrib> mewshi: you need to ask a question.  Most people have no idea what they should or should not have an idea about when you ask that
[02:38] <bazhang> mewshi, so in that context, just repeating 'anyone?' will not get any help
[02:38] <rustlerharv> anyone have troubles with graphics flashing during games
[02:38] <geeksquad> on ipod yes in motochaser lol
[02:39] <someone537> hey guys, i'm in a VMWare player sessiono ubuntu 8.04 and all i see is the mouse cursor and an orange background. any ideas?
[02:39] <mewshi> It's not giving me any errors
[02:39] <mewshi> That's all the info I have
[02:39] <mewshi> if there's something you want me to tell you, then ask
[02:39] <mewshi> if you want me to run a command, tell me
[02:39] <Chrisie> !info netbeans
[02:39] <FloodBot1> mewshi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:39] <mindrape> someone537 - you must peel the orange with your mouse to prove your worthiness.
[02:39] <n8tuser> on cron  minutes column   */10  is every 10 minutes right?
[02:39] <geeksquad> gnome error or install problem
[02:39] <Pici> n8tuser: Yep
[02:39] <akahig2> my CPU load has shot through the roof... conky and the gnome system monitor both show firefox using around 30%. top, though, puts firefox's cpu usage at 70%. why aren't these consistent?
[02:39] <someone537> mindrape: thanks. just what i wanted to hear
[02:39] <mewshi> How do I fix my god damn wireless, that's my question!
[02:39] <r2s> I need help on this...http://paste.ubuntu.com/75060/
[02:39] <bazhang> mewshi, read the links, and try what they say; then report what errors you receive
[02:39] <mindrape> mewshi - sudo ifconfig      do you have a wlan device?        sudo iwconfig is it connected to an AP?
[02:40] <bazhang> mewshi, no cursing here please
[02:40] <r2s> My ZTE MF622 3G modem was detected as using the ohci_hcd not ehci_hcd or uhci_hcd
[02:40] <level15> akahig2: maybe different sampling interval, maybe some of them are averagin over all cores
[02:40] <n8tuser> Pici -> ok thanks for confirming, ..am getting an auth.log entry every 5 minutes and i only have one entry in my crontab and as you have said its 10 minutes intervals
[02:40] <mewshi> There isn't anything to do with them!  For christ's sake, the drivers are there.  But it keeps disconnecting at random, and NONE of those docs help at all!
[02:40] <geeksquad> !botsnack | windows
[02:40] <mewshi> I've gone through those docs already, they are useless
[02:40] <mindrape> mewshi - dmesg - what does it say just after a disconnect occurs?
[02:40] <geeksquad> yay
[02:41] <Pici> n8tuser: Hm. I've never checked auth.log against my crontab schedules, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, sorry.
[02:41] <mewshi> so, now we wait for it to disconnect
[02:42] <ASULutzy> mewshi: yea, dmesg | tail -f
[02:42] <Stargazer> Is there a way of getting a lost of skipped files from a transfer ?
[02:42] <Stargazer> List*
[02:42] <usser> mewshi, what wireless chipset do u have?
[02:42] <alex|xela> does anyone have anyu ideas on how i can migrate all my users from one server to another? like the /etc/passwd /etc/group goes ok, but my /etc/shadow is a tough one, copying over the file doesnt seem to work, as the password are all broken, anyone know how to migrate a /etc/shadow from one server to another?
[02:42] <akahig2> level15: is there any way of isolating what's causing firefox to be consuming all the CPU?  nothing's changed in the last few days except changing the flash plugin (as part of the pulseaudio fix)
[02:43] <arktvrvs> akahig2: ive only had that problem with PDF's occasionally
[02:43] <arktvrvs> and in that case it seems to be a bug with the pdf viewer
[02:43] <level15> akahig2: flash is always my prime suspect... but let's face it, firefox has never been exactly resource friendly
[02:43] <akahig2> arktvrvs: the off the chart cpu consumption?
[02:43] <geeksquad> crontab to wireless man
[02:44] <level15> alex|xela: what are the source and destination OS's?
[02:44] <ASULutzy> alex|xela: do you have a gshadow file?
[02:44] <mewshi> usser: it's an Atheros 928X
[02:44] <arktvrvs> akahig2: yes, as well as sucking up hundred of megs of page files
[02:44] <arktvrvs> page file*
[02:44] <usser> mewshi, nvm... then i have intel. sorry
[02:45] <akahig2> level15: that's true, but FF3 has been much easier on the resources than v2.  should the flash plugin be load if nothing has called it, or does it load on startup?
[02:45] <alex|xela> level15: debian -> ubuntu
[02:45] <ASULutzy> mewshi: you should check your syslog, or do dmesg | tail -f
[02:45] <ASULutzy> and see what exactly if anything your box sees when  your wireless goes down
[02:45] <akahig2> arktvrvs: I'm lucky there.  swap and tmp usage is minimal
[02:45] <alex|xela> ASULutzy: yes i do
[02:45] <ASULutzy> alex|xela: you should copy that too then :)
[02:46] <alex|xela> anything else?
[02:46] <ASULutzy> Hmmm, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow /etc/group /etc/gshadow... maybe /var/spool/mail
[02:46] <someone537> hey guys, i'm in a VMWare player sessiono ubuntu 8.04 and all i see is the mouse cursor and an orange background. any ideas?
[02:46] <metbsd> should i install a normal installation other than wubi installation? and why?
[02:47] <ASULutzy> alex|xela: and of course /home (if needed)
[02:47] <mewshi> http://pastebin.com/f6db6483d <- this is what dmesg gives me
[02:47] <level15> someone537: i think gnome failed to load completely
[02:47] <error404notfound> how can I print the current ruleset of iptables?
[02:47] <alex|xela> ASULutzy: pw auth, mainly out of postifx
[02:47] <alex|xela> fix*
[02:47] <level15> error404notfound: iptables -L
[02:47] <alex|xela> which ties into /etc/shadow
[02:48] <ASULutzy> metbsd: wubi stinks, I wouldn't use it, I'm sure there's a huge FAQ on Wubi
[02:48] <Falstius> metbsd: wubi installation will perform like a normal installation on a slower HD.  If you're installing just to play around and learn, wubi is fine.  If you want to use Ubuntu as your primary OS or for high performance applications, you should do a normal install.
[02:48] <someone537> i see
[02:48] <metbsd> ASULutzy, why?
[02:48] <ASULutzy> metbsd: Performance reasons, data loss reasons, etc
[02:48] <DavidCanarias> I'd like to memorize somehow certain command lines for the terminal so that when I hit one key up pops the command. Is there any way I can do this????
[02:48] <metbsd> so in wubi enviroment, software runs slower than in normal enviroment?
[02:49] <ASULutzy> metbsd: If your entire operating system resides on an NTFS partition that Windows has full read/write access to (and has all the nice fragmentation issues that NTFS still gets)
[02:49] <arktvrvs> DavidCanarias: you are talking about history
[02:49] <arktvrvs> it is default behavior for bash.
[02:49] <ASULutzy> metbsd: On a file on that partition that is
[02:49] <metbsd> ASULutzy, except for ntfs fragment, anything else?
[02:49] <DavidCanarias> arktvrvs: I don't like history very much!!! jejejej How's that I don't understand?
[02:49] <mindrape> DavidCanarias: you could setup an alias for a single letter...  ie; if you pushed k it would run a huge command.
[02:49] <mewshi> so, based on this http://pastebin.com/f6db6483d does anyone have a clue what's wrong? :(
[02:49] <arktvrvs> DavidCanarias: in your terminal, press UP
[02:50] <ASULutzy> metbsd: The fact that a program or virus in Windows could destroy your entire Linux install
[02:50] <Falstius> metbsd: no, it only loads more slowly.  Also, if your computer were to crash you're more likely to lose data (or your windows installation could corrupt your wubi file).  Like I said, wubi is fine for playing and getting a feel, but it isn't good for your primary OS.
[02:50] <DavidCanarias> mindrape: That's what I want to do, but how.
[02:50] <mindrape> DavidCanarias: .bashrc
[02:50] <ASULutzy> metbsd:  Or the fact that you are sort of counting on a single file in a Windows install not getting hosed... That's reason enough for me
[02:50] <mindrape> man it
[02:50] <DavidCanarias> arktvrvs: press UP????
[02:50] <mewshi> Yeah, the up arrow
[02:50] <arktvrvs> Yes, UP.  The key with the arrow on it
[02:51] <DavidCanarias> mindrape: Do I go to terminal and type in .bashrc? And then what
[02:51] <level15> mewshi: i was experiencing the same kind of issues with my laptop after i upgraded to 8.10... same deauthenticated msg. never got to fix them, though, since my laptop's video card burnt
[02:51] <metbsd> so i guess wubi is ok for me, i don't want linux be my primary os
[02:51] <mindrape> echo "alias k='some long command'" >> .bashrc
[02:51] <mewshi> Just kill me... please... it's the humane thing to do...
[02:51]  * mindrape kills mewshi... with fire.
[02:51] <DavidCanarias> Ah OK guys the UP key and this seems to remember the last command
[02:51] <nbeebo> hi, my sound doesnt work, its not the hardware, what can i do? ive had it before
[02:51] <ASULutzy> metbsd: I guess, I don't think any experienced users in here would recommend the Wubi route, but your choice
[02:51] <Stargazer> Is there a way of getting a list of skipped files from a transfer ?
[02:51] <donjr_KS> If I and someone else log into an ssh shell server, can we speak with eachother in the shell? and if so, how?
[02:52] <mindrape> DavidCanarias: type the command              history
[02:52] <level15> DavidCanarias: Really??? :D
[02:52] <mindrape> donjr_KS: man talk
[02:52] <keewee> Hi guys. I am having a problem with my EeePC 901 since an update some weeks ago. My wifi card doesn't start. I press Fn-F2 and first, I see "Your wireless adapter is being enabled".. then "restarted" instead of "enabled", then "your wireless adapter has failed to return. Please reboot"
[02:52] <donjr_KS> say thanks
[02:52] <keewee> Does anyone know why this can be happening? I tried installing "eee-control" instead of "eeepc-config", and also reinstalling the wireless driver. No success
[02:52] <_Zeus_> donjr_KS: you can use 'tell'
[02:52] <_Zeus_> oh wait
[02:52] <nbeebo> what can i do about my sound not working?
[02:52] <DasEi> why can't I see tvtime's output from a another pc on vnc ?
[02:52] <B|ackPanther> how can i make firefox to have the minimize,maximize and close buttons ? All the other application have that but firefox windows do not.
[02:52] <DavidCanarias> level15: You can see I am a newbie!!!! Sorry
[02:52] <ASULutzy> mewshi: Have you done any googling?
[02:53] <n8tuser> mewshi ->  try   iwpriv  and if any of those parameters is related to your disconnects, maybe signal treshold is too high?
[02:53] <apeiron> B|ackPanther, Is Firefox fullscreen perhaps?
[02:53] <mewshi> So, no one has any clue?
[02:53] <creative2bad> how can i install proftpd without having to add users .. IE: use the userinfo thats already in the machine thats been building up when i add users ?
[02:53] <level15> DavidCanarias: sorry, JK. I didn't mean to make you feel bad
[02:53] <apeiron> B|ackPanther, Hit F11.
[02:53] <mewshi> what's iwpriv? o.o'
[02:53] <DavidCanarias> mindrape: Thanks for this info. It's great and what I need really.
[02:53] <Twar3> B|ackPanther: What Window Manager?
[02:53] <arktvrvs> im gonna break my rusty cage
[02:53] <arktvrvs> and run
[02:53] <ASULutzy> mewshi<EMAIL_ADDRESS>http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930155&page=2 try googling
[02:53] <Falstius> metbsd: personally, I prefer to have a single OS installed on my machine and use virtual machines for other operating systems instead of dual booting.
[02:53] <nbeebo> my sound is gone, what shoul i do??
[02:53] <DavidCanarias> level15: No problem. One of the things I really like about Linux community is how helpful it is!!
[02:53] <keewee> unfortunately this makes me remember of Windows..
[02:54] <nbeebo> should*
[02:54] <keewee> no one has any idea of what the OS is doing.. :(
[02:54] <B|ackPanther> apeiron, hitting f11 makes the windows occupy the whole screen.
[02:54] <arktvrvs> keewee: only if you dont know how it works :)
[02:54] <metbsd> Falstius, why
[02:54] <B|ackPanther> apeiron,it is not full screen
[02:54] <nbeebo> HOW DO I FIX MY SOUND???
[02:54] <remote>
[02:54] <apeiron> B|ackPanther, Okay, thought that that was the problem. :)
[02:54] <ASULutzy> !caps
[02:54] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: try figuring ou whats wrong with it first.
[02:54] <B|ackPanther> Twar3,am using compiz
[02:55] <mindrape> keewee - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578
[02:55] <metbsd> how do i get compiz to work?
[02:55] <nbeebo> it doesnt work, its not the hardware and volume is at max
[02:55] <Falstius> metbsd: if you have to reboot to use windows or linux, you probably won't.  If you have it as a VM, it is easy to jump from one to another and you can manage resources better.
[02:55] <mindrape> nbeebo: lspci   <-- is it recognized?
[02:55] <arktvrvs> Any error messages?
[02:55] <ASULutzy> nbeebo: alsamixer in a terminal ?
[02:55] <nbeebo> ill check, i had it before on this install btw
[02:55] <mindrape> nbeebo - are you sure the volume is max?      type          alsamixer at a command line
[02:55] <Falstius> metbsd: the only good reason to dual boot a personal machine is if you want to use Linux as your primary OS but there are windows games you can't run in wine and can't live without.
[02:55] <nbeebo> yes alsamixer there
[02:56] <DavidCanarias> Sorry guys, but in terminal and typing history up pops all the commands with numbers. When I type in the number I want it says command not found. Why?
[02:56] <B|ackPanther> Would reinstalling firefox help ?
[02:56] <keewee> arktvrvs: well... so it is still an OS made for people who understands it... thought linux would be somehow better :(
[02:56] <level15> DavidCanarias: what shell are you using?
[02:56] <mindrape> DavidCanarias: that is just for reference... its showing you chronologically the commands you've run.  If you want to run one just push the up arrow key a ridiculous number of times.
[02:56] <arktvrvs> keewee: at least linux has tons of docs and encourage you to learn it :)
[02:56] <Twar3> B|ackPanther: Are you using the Window Decorator in Compiz?
[02:56] <sachael> DavidCanarias, type a ! in front of the number
[02:56] <arktvrvs> as opposed to the 'other' os
[02:56] <d0netsFN> is there a command i can use to paste things into terminal?
[02:56] <nbeebo> its safe to purge alsamixer then install it again?
[02:56] <d0netsFN> instead of clicking, then paste
[02:57] <sachael> DavidCanarias, you can also type !! for the last command
[02:57] <apeiron> metbsd, I concur with Falstius regarding dualbooting.
[02:57] <ASULutzy> keewee: Try learning, open a terminal, check what dmesg says, etc.
[02:57] <arktvrvs> d0netsFN: shift+insert.. try it
[02:57] <B|ackPanther> Twar3,No,am not using that.
[02:57] <keewee> mindrape: thanks, I have those guides, used a windows driver but it made every WPA2 router crash
[02:57] <apeiron> Today's machines have more than enough oomph behind them to virtualize. Many chips even have hardware accelerated virtualization.
[02:57] <d0netsFN> very nice, thanks arktvrvs
[02:57] <arktvrvs> np
[02:57] <error404notfound> someone wanna help me over: http://pastebin.com/m2ae8f4f5 ?
[02:57] <DavidCanarias> Thanks again, I have it under control now.  Cheers everyone.......
[02:57] <mindrape> keewee - so right now is it connected?        sudo iwconfig
[02:57] <ASULutzy> metbsd: I use a dual boot and love it, I'm in Windows atm because a friend wants to game for a bit, but for everything else I use Linux. Also, remember you can have a VM inside Ubuntu easily boot your Windows local install
[02:58] <nbeebo> how do i reinstall alsa driver?
[02:58] <B|ackPanther> Twar3,Sorry,i was using it.Just checked.
[02:58] <mindrape> nbeebo - you can just dpkg-reconfigure it.
[02:58] <keewee> arktvrs: I don't have time. It's not easy. I learn sometimes, when I can... but problems shouldn't come out of nowhere
[02:58] <ASULutzy> d0netsFN: shift+insert, also ctrl+shift+v works
[02:58] <arktvrvs> keewee: what problems are you having?
[02:58] <nbeebo> its alsa dpkg-reconfigure?
[02:58] <mindrape> nbeebo - otherwise just     sudo apt-cache search alsa for it
[02:58] <keewee> arktvrs: (anyway)
[02:58] <r2s> anyone knows what type of USB does ohic_hcd.. is it USB 1 or 1.1 ??
[02:58] <mindrape> sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa probably
[02:58] <mindrape> lsusb r2s
[02:58] <nbeebo> yes i aptitude searched for it trying to find correct name
[02:59] <metbsd> now how do i upgrade everything
[02:59] <keewee> mindrape: nope, it's not connected. I don't have the windows drivers now, uninstalled them because of those problems.
[02:59] <ardchoille> was /bin/login and /bin/su updated around the 15th of this month?
[02:59] <mindrape> keewee - what is the make/model of the card?
[02:59] <ardchoille> I have some conflicting hashes in rkhunter
[02:59] <ASULutzy> metbsd: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:59] <r2s> mindrape:  This is because I got this MF622 3G data card and ubuntu 8.10 detect it as ohci_hcd type
[02:59] <keewee> mindrape, it says "eth0   no wireless connection" and also "lo   ..same"
[02:59] <Falstius> ASULutzy: last time I had a machine with windows installed, running the install on a VM was a risky operation with a fair chance of data corruption.  It has been a while :)
[03:00] <DasEi> metbsd: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:00] <ASULutzy> Falstius: Eh, I do it all the time on my work laptop, work lappy came with native Windows install, virtualbox makes it easy... Forget the exact syntax, but it's basically VBoxManage something /dev/thedisk
[03:00] <keewee> mindrape, rt2860
[03:00] <creative2bad> wow
[03:00] <mindrape> keewee - looking
[03:00] <creative2bad> you guys are amazing support
[03:00] <metbsd> how do i get compiz to work?
[03:00] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone recommend any CD repro for burning CD's thats easy and trouble free to use?
[03:00] <ASULutzy> Falstius: There could potentially be issue with installing the VM tools, and HAL issues, but eh
[03:00] <creative2bad> i asked a question fuckin 20 mins ago
[03:00] <FloodBot1> creative2bad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:00] <creative2bad> no replies
[03:00] <creative2bad> thanks
[03:00] <arktvrvs> metbsd: what do you mean by 'work'?
[03:01] <DasEi> nbeebo:install ubuntu-modules and alsa-firmware loaders, restart hal
[03:01] <ASULutzy> !language
[03:01] <somat> some body help me ? when i open a file on server with samba-server and save it there is error -> "filename is not a directory" client using intrepid ibex
[03:01] <keewee> arktvrvs, my wireless card doesn't turn on..
[03:01] <dombre> hi I need some help configuring my EEE
[03:01] <nbeebo> ill try that thanks
[03:01] <B|ackPanther> How can i force a reinstall of firefox ?
[03:01] <mindrape> keewee - is the card detected in lspci?
[03:01] <metbsd> i mean , i want to see how it works, how to get it to work, how to use it, whatever. hehe
[03:01] <dombre> my eee ethernet connection won't work
[03:01] <arktvrvs> keewee: ah, that is odd
[03:02] <arktvrvs> i sometimes have issues with my wireless as well
[03:02] <keewee> mindrape, no, it is turned off
[03:02] <mindrape> keewee - look in /sys/devices/platform/ for something along the lines of your wireless card...
[03:02] <someone537> hey guys: i'm in a live ubuntu (thru vmware) session. i dont think it can see any of my files on the windows platform it's hosted from. any ideas on how i can get it to use a few select files?
[03:02] <dombre> I've turned off roaming mode, enabled dhcp any thing else that I can try?
[03:02] <mindrape> keewee - you can't manually turn it on w a switch on your laptop or something?
[03:03] <keewee> mindrape, no
[03:03] <dombre> I really don't want to go back to that crap tacular xandros instal >.<
[03:03] <fluvvell> keewee, any luck from lspci ? does that list your card
[03:03] <ASULutzy> someone537: You'll have to configure a shared folder through the VM's interface, however that works on your particular VM
[03:03] <DavidCanarias> Any help/recommendations for burning CD's as I am having problems with K3B and  Brasero. Any other I can use?
[03:03] <mewshi> nothing is helping :(
[03:03] <keewee> fluvvell, nope, it doesn't. it is turned off, i suppose
[03:04] <ASULutzy> DavidCanarias: What is the problem with K3b?
[03:04] <mindrape> keewee can you turn it on in bios so linux can see it?  if its not in dmesg or lspci we have a lot of investigating to do  :)
[03:04] <DasEi> DavidCanarias: see:
[03:04] <DasEi> !burn
[03:04] <DavidCanarias> ASULutzy: I was burning the same disc several times and then it just blocked...
[03:04] <keewee> mindrape, the folders are bluetooth, i8042, iTCO_wdt, pcspkr, power, serial8250
[03:04] <mindrape> try iTCO_wdt
[03:05] <ASULutzy> DavidCanarias: blocked?
[03:05] <mindrape> err... thats not it.
[03:05] <DasEi> DavidCanarias: if you got a nero serial anyway, could use nero even (few days free trial, anyway) ;;; whats wrong with k3b ?
[03:05] <DavidCanarias> DasEi: where can I download !burn?
[03:05] <fluvvell> keewee, as mindrape has suggested it needs to be powered on. Bios?
[03:05] <arktvrvs> DavidCanarias:  read what the bot said
[03:05] <ASULutzy> DavidCanarias: You could always use dd if you're feeling sufficiently tricky
[03:05] <mindrape> yeah, sometimes you can force it to be enabled in bios.
[03:05] <arktvrvs> re "CD/DVD Burning software"
[03:05] <DavidCanarias> K3B was burning and throwing an error and wouldn't burn
[03:05] <DasEi> DavidCanaria: see ubottu for !burn, it's a trigger, not a prog
[03:06] <DavidCanarias> ASULutzy: What is dd
[03:06] <mindrape> !dd | DavidCanarias
[03:06] <ASULutzy> DavidCanarias: what was the error? (it seems better to try and fix your problem then to waste time trying 20 other programs, K3B works very well IMO)
[03:06] <ASULutzy> !info dd
[03:06] <DavidCanarias> DasEi: what is a trigger?
[03:06] <ASULutzy> lame.
[03:06] <arktvrvs> dd is a data dumping utility
[03:06] <ASULutzy> Alright, game time
[03:06] <DasEi> DavidCanaria: see :
[03:06] <DasEi> !brain
[03:06] <arktvrvs> takes some measure of skill to use
[03:06] <keewee> mindrape, fluvvell, now I enabled it in BIOS (the Fn+F2 key is supposed to do that without the need to reboot).
[03:07] <fluvvell> keewee, and lspci ?
[03:07] <erickvp> anyone know how to make a dvd play ? it plays the previews then its done,no movie
[03:07] <DasEi> DavidCanaria: ubott* is a ro-bot for info, called by "!" and a following trigger
[03:07] <DavidCanarias> DasEi: Ok I'd like to try   !brain, but do I download it or can I do it from the terminal please?
[03:07] <arktvrvs> !brain
[03:07] <DavidCanarias> ASULutzy: You are right I should try and fix it, but if I knew how to????
[03:07] <mindrape> erickvp - vlc.  :)
[03:07] <arktvrvs> See you gotta read what it says.  !brain isnt a program.
[03:08] <DasEi> DavidCanaria: please read ubottu, no prog !!!
[03:08] <erickvp> tried it no dice
[03:08] <keewee> mindrape, fluvvell, now it works. So the problem is with the command that turns it on and off? (well, I supposed that before, tried using another function key script)
[03:08] <mindrape> erickvp - run vlc from command line... no infomsgs?  maybe strace vlc from command line?
[03:08] <erickvp> nope
[03:08] <fluvvell> keewee, as in the whole wireless network just works? No more problems?
[03:08] <mindrape> all hail BIOS.
[03:09] <erickvp> its being a real bite in the dammit lol
[03:09] <fluvvell> keewee, or the light now glows?
[03:09] <mewshi> so, no one has a damn clue?
[03:09] <tritium> !attitude | mewshi
[03:09] <Guest4524> Since upgrading to 8.10 Im having some trouble enabling my 3D graphics drivers, it just wont let me.
[03:09] <mindrape> mewshi - sorry, was looking at it but got side tracked... hold
[03:09] <keewee> fluvvell, I meant it connected to my wireless
[03:10] <fluvvell> keewee, great news.
[03:10] <erickvp> seems i can't get past the menu part on the dvd
[03:11] <mindrape> mewshi - what is the leasetime on your router for IPs?
[03:11] <keewee> fluvvell, then I pressed fnf2 and it turned the adapter off and on again... now it doesn't do that sequence of "restarting wireless card" but it doesn't find networks.. fnf2 again and it turns the adapter on again (without turning off :s ) cannot find networks..
[03:11] <nbeebo> whats 'ubuntu modules'?
[03:12] <arktvrvs> probably kernel modules.
[03:12] <erickvp> where it says hit menu to play the movie or you get the previews and then its done
[03:12] <nbeebo> so if someone tells me to install ubuntu modules, i should do what?
[03:12] <mindrape> mewshi - have you messed w any of the following settings on your router?  beacon interval?  rts threshold?
[03:12] <mindrape> nbeebo - modprobe modulename
[03:12] <arktvrvs> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-modules?
[03:12] <fluvvell> keewee, there should be a time delay after turning it on before it finds networks. All scans take some time.
[03:13] <fluvvell> keewee, is the adaptor in roaming mode?
[03:13] <nbeebo> ok ill try
[03:13] <mindrape> keewee - sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[03:13] <happycycling> I had to reinstall windows, how do I repair my MBR with GRUB without reinstalling ubuntu?
[03:13] <mindrape> keewee - that will force it to scan.
[03:13] <bastid_raZor> !grub | happycycling
[03:14] <happycycling> awesome, thanks man
[03:14] <mindrape> mewshi -also is your wireless setup for b and g or n or what?  sometimes if you mix modes it freaks out linux.
[03:14] <nbeebo> no module name "ubuntu modules" ubuntu-modules etc... well i guess ill skip that then...
[03:14] <nbeebo> how do u restart hal
[03:14] <mindrape> nbeebo - sudo apt-cache search modules
[03:14] <nbeebo> oh ok
[03:14] <mindrape> nbeebo           sudo /etc/init.d/./hal restart probably
[03:14] <keewee> fluvvell, I waited the normal time it always takes to find networks (10-20sec).
[03:15] <Roasted> Does anybody here have an A-DATA flash drive, with the rubber orange/black housing? If you do, does it work with Ubuntu? I have one and mine does not work with Ubuntu. It used to, but as of the other day it didn't. Yet my Sandisk works perfectly fine in Ubuntu. So I'm starting to think the A-DATA isn't Linux supported.
[03:15] <keewee> fluvvell, in iwconfig it appears as ra0, so I used ra0 for your command..
[03:15] <keewee> "No scan results"
[03:15] <mindrape> fde - what part of the greater Phoenix area do you hail from?
[03:15] <keewee> (less than a second after pressing Enter)
[03:15] <wos> could anyone tell me how to restore a ntfs drive on which the file system is non existent?
[03:16] <mindrape> keewee - sudo ifconfig ra0 down ; sudo ifconfig ra0 up ; sudo iwlist ra0 scan
[03:16] <mindrape> wos - you will need to use recovery software from www.runtime.org   GetDataBack NTFS version oughta do it.
[03:16] <Sync08> I wonder why every application user has /bin/bash login access at /etc/passwd file? (Ubuntu 8.10)
[03:17] <mindrape> Sync08 - EVERY user has a shell in /etc/passwd?
[03:17] <fluvvell> keewee what happens if you click the wireless icon at the top?
[03:17] <Sync08> mindrape,  well  its a default installation and I see even deamon , irc users has /bin/bash access ..
[03:18] <Sync08> I mean why they have these rights by default?
[03:18] <arktvrvs> You need a shell to run programs.
[03:18] <nbeebo> how do i see if my speakers are plugged in? cant find anything in the "control panel"
[03:18] <keewee> mindrape, fluvvell, the down works (I suppose.. anyway the light doesn't turn off), the up says "operation not allowed" (translated from spanish).
[03:19] <Stargazer> In WMP, i remember i could just hit 'sync' and all my music would eventually end up in my mp3 player, i don't see an easy way of doing this. any ideas ?
[03:19] <mindrape> Sync08 -                       for i in $(awk -F: '{print $7}' /etc/passwd); do echo $i; done;
[03:19] <keewee> fluvvell, the icon is for both wireless and ethernet. the wireless part of the menu appears (which normally disappears when the wireless adapter is turned off).
[03:19] <nbeebo> how do i see if my speakers are plugged in? cant find anything in the "control panel"
[03:19] <jbeitler> what are you trying to sync?
[03:19] <keewee> fluvvell, but no networks..
[03:20] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: Probably no way to tell that but to manually check it.
[03:20] <Sync08> mindrape, and what that command exatcly do ?
[03:20] <nbeebo> well i know it exists for all hardware.. so i guess ill google
[03:20] <alsa> has there been a fix for no sounds in ubuntu 8.10 ?
[03:21] <mindrape> Sync08 - it just prints out all the shells from /etc/passwd... mindlessness  :P
[03:21] <jbeitler> alsa: what is your hardware?
[03:21] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: speakers aren't usually recognized by an os.. just the sound card
[03:22] <alsa> i have a Dell Studio 15n laptop
[03:22] <Sync08> lol :) Well I just want to know that the users come with the default 8.10 installation has /bin/sh or /bin/bash login access, if I change them to /bin/false could my system work properly ?
[03:22] <alsa> It works fine with 8.04
[03:22] <keewee> fluvvell, I found that the eeepc-hotkey.sh file has changed...  dunno why. will try putting the correct one back
[03:22] <fluvvell> keewee, i'll leave you with mindrape - i have to go.
[03:23] <keewee> thanks fluvvell, bye
[03:23] <nbeebo> how can i see if  my sound card is working then?
[03:23] <Sagaci> how do i partition my c: drive so I can run XP and ubuntu via dual boot (my hd has 50gig left)
[03:24] <steph291> hi every one !
[03:24] <courtney> heya
[03:24] <nbeebo> how can i see if my sound card isnt broke?
[03:25] <level15> nbeebo: test it on Win
[03:25] <DVA5912> Anyone know of a verry good imaging program that will allow me to edit images. Im looking for something of the effect of Photoimpact on windows
[03:25] <steph291> having a problem with ntfs partition, cannot see them so no mount
[03:25] <srx2002> hello, I'm having an error with something..Can someone help me out???    Error:    when I right click on my menu bar at the top and select " properties " I'm getting this error   Error stating file '/tmp/evince-16127': No such file or directory
[03:25] <srx2002> can somone help me fix this please?
[03:25] <steph291> please help
[03:26] <steph291> even in gparted, not showing
[03:26] <nbeebo> so i cant see if my sound card is plugged in or even working?...
[03:26] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: is it in lspci?
[03:26] <nickrud> nbeebo, the steps you need to take is first, see if the card is recognized by the hardware:  lspci , look thorough the output and see if your sound card is there.
[03:26] <arktvrvs> there is of course system > administration > hardware testing
[03:27] <nbeebo> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
[03:27] <nbeebo> thats it?
[03:27] <nickrud> nbeebo, yep
[03:27] <ardchoille> was /bin/login and /bin/su updated around the 15th of this month? I have some conflicting hashes in rkhunter
[03:27] <nbeebo> hmmm ...  maybe ill try sound in windows... brb
[03:27] <srx2002> can't find any information on the www sbout this error
[03:27] <jbeitler>  your sound muted?
[03:28] <arktvrvs> ardchoille: I do recall them being updated.
[03:28] <nickrud> next,   lsmod | grep snd , that will tell you if the kernel modules for the sound card are installed. That's too much to paste here, put the output on paste.ubuntu.com (and I _hate_ those intel hd sound chips)
[03:28] <wendy_> where do i find the dead keys? im trying to put these two together: ~n (enye)
[03:28] <ardchoille> arktvrvs: Ok, thanks
[03:28] <steph291> anyone for my ntfs problem ?
[03:28] <arktvrvs> wendy_: system > preferences > keyboard .. change to e.g. US international with dead keys
[03:28] <mindrape> steph291 - cat /etc/mtab         no dice?
[03:29] <arktvrvs> right-alt+n gives the character you want
