[20:22] <filthpig> hey, can somebody help me set up the gspca driver from hardy in intrepid? I'm experiencing some regression with my webcam when I'm using skype, because the colours are all wrong, but I know it worked on hardy
[20:23] <racecar56> ubuntu has been around scince 2004
[20:23] <step21> xnmrph: well did you run it?
[20:23] <Slart> ofix-comp: well.. at least 3 or more
[20:23] <Laeborg> http://pastebin.com/m38adfc5 - how can i cancel this "pending" install ?
[20:23] <xnmrph> step21, no. In case it screws up what was there before
[20:23] <ofix-comp> oh wow.. not much.. so, its like starting..
[20:23] <nickrud_> ofix-comp, first release oct 2004
[20:23] <racecar56> my usb stick isnt being detected, pastebin here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113333/
[20:23] <_VIM_> sinc3 4.10= october 2004..am i correct?
[20:23] <_VIM_> since
[20:23] <ofix-comp> nickrud and do you know of any list with compatible hardware?
[20:24] <Slart> marcel: well.. that's the way that command works afaik.. I've never used it myself
[20:24] <racecar56> VIRTUALBOX 1.3?
[20:24] <racecar56> LOL
[20:24] <racecar56> talk about out of date repos!
[20:24] <racecar56> xD
[20:24] <nickrud_> !hardware | ofix-comp (incomplete, as all lists will be)
[20:24] <Slart> racecar56: please.. keep the enter spam to a minimum
[20:24] <TML> racecar56: Did you kill whatever is using sd_mod so you could rmmod it?
[20:24] <racecar56> no
[20:24] <step21> xnmrph: well, I'm neither familiar with your setup or encrypted home partitions, but mount shouldn't destroy anything, unless you formatted your private folder partition
[20:24] <xnmrph> step21, and if I do "sudo mount.ecryptfs....." says "command not found"
[20:24] <racecar56> how do i?
[20:25] <ozzloy> how do i find the libqt4-ruby1.8-examples i just installed?
[20:25] <Slart> ozzloy: look at the package in synaptic.. there should be a list of files included
[20:25] <racecar56> how do i find out what's using the sd_mod
[20:25] <step21> xnmrph: you might have to install some support package to enable support for encrypted partition
[20:25] <ozzloy> Slart: k thx
[20:25] <user_> Laeborg: you seem to install vbox 1.3.2?
[20:25] <Pici> !latest > racecar56
[20:25] <nickrud_> ozzloy, /usr/share/doc/libqt4-ruby1.8-examples
[20:25] <Laeborg> can i cancel that user_
[20:26] <step21> or do "locate mount.ecryptfs_private
[20:26] <Slart> !info virtualbox
[20:26] <gouki> Hi. Can I use locale-gen with a wildcard to generate all locales?
[20:26] <user_> Laeborg: in console just do control+c
[20:26] <Pici> !info virtualbox-ose | Slart
[20:26] <Slart> thanks pici =)
[20:26] <xnmrph> step21, that just reports the private directory
[20:26] <ofix-comp> so if it is compatible with debian it is with ubuntu
[20:26] <ofix-comp> ?
[20:27] <_VIM_> truecrypt does a good job of encrypting partitions in Linux...(and entire disks in Windows)
[20:27] <racecar56> how do i find out what's using the sd_mod? i got to find out so i can fix my error, heres pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113333/
[20:27] <graingert> ofix-comp-> no
[20:27] <slasher> ye baby
[20:27] <Eritrean> Hi
[20:27] <racecar56> hi
[20:27] <graingert> _VIM_-> entire disks in windows?
[20:27] <nickrud_> ofix-comp, generally true
[20:27] <Slart> ofix-comp: I would say "probably".. but you can never be sure
[20:27] <synack> ok i fixed my issue
[20:27] <_VIM_> yes graingert it only works in windows for entire disk
[20:28] <graingert> _VIM_-> the entire disk could contain any data, any os
[20:28] <ofix-comp> because ubuntu came out of debian didnt it?
[20:28] <synack> hda to change my SATA mode from native to compatible
[20:28] <slasher> UBUNTU ROCKS
[20:28] <racecar56> yeah
[20:28] <Slart> synack: in the BIOS?
[20:28] <_VIM_> well i mean bootable OS graingert
[20:28] <synack> oddly enough i had to change it to compatible to even install ubunut and changed it back to enhanced after installation
[20:28] <synack> yes Slart
[20:28] <graingert> _VIM_-> ohh ok
[20:28] <synack> ubuntu install would fail with it in Enhanced mode
[20:28] <b3z3rk3r> slasher, agreed :)
[20:28] <synack> weird....
[20:28] <step21> xnmrph: is it an encrypted folder or a whole partition?
[20:28] <Slart> synack: hmm..good to know.. another thing to try if things do not work..
[20:28] <ozzloy> nickrud_: thanks
[20:29] <slasher> b3z3rk3r: hehe
[20:29] <racecar56> how do i find out what's using the sd_mod? i got to find out so i can fix my error, heres pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113333/
[20:29] <user_> racecar56: do you already have a device node for the stick? (trick 1: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-10sysadtips/?S_TACT=105AGX54&S_CMP=C0115&ca=dnw-1002&open&cm_mmc=4633-_-n-_-vrm_newsletter-_-10731_101108&cmibm_em=dm:0:6992641)
[20:29] <xnmrph> It's an encrypted folder
[20:29] <lucio12345> hello i would like to mount a shared folder how to do?
[20:29] <italo> I need help with my keybord
[20:29] <Slart> !samba | lucio12345
[20:29] <lucio12345> i go in Places connect server and i see the folder shared
[20:29] <graingert> lucio12345-> what type of shared folder
[20:29] <italo> I need help with my keybord
[20:30] <lucio12345> windows shares on ...
[20:30] <graingert> lucio12345-> ok
[20:30] <Slart> !details | italo
[20:30] <lucio12345> i see the folders but i cannot access it with a program browse
[20:30] <graingert> lucio12345-> just click it, it auto mounts
[20:30] <lucio12345> ah
[20:30] <lucio12345> ok
[20:30] <graingert> lucio12345-> use gvfs
[20:30] <lucio12345> ok but what's the path?
[20:31] <lucio12345> now i can see it in the file browser but when i open a program and i do Open File ?
[20:31] <graingert> lucio12345-> /home/userdir/.gvfs/this on that/c/blah/blah/
[20:31] <marcel> how can i print a file to the printer from shell : bash ??
[20:31] <lucio12345> .gvfs ok i try+
[20:31] <_VIM_> Slart: you getting carried away with ubottu again, i had to put it on ignore please use !command > nick  or something. :)
[20:31] <nickrud_> lucio12345, the file manager mangles the path to make it appear nicer ---- see graingert
[20:31] <xnmrph> Hi. Partitiontragic corrupted my MBR so I had to reinstall but 8.10 hasn't mounted my private folder - says I need to run "mount.ecryptfs_private" etc. Can I recover what was in there from before ?
[20:32] <step21> xnmrph: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption http://maketecheasier.com/create-a-private-encrypted-folder-on-ubuntu-hardy-with-ecryptfs/2008/09/25 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-private-encrypted-folder-on-ubuntu-810-intrepid.html
[20:32] <lucio12345> oki thanks
[20:32] <graingert> lucio12345-> .gvfs is a hidden directory
[20:32] <Slart> _VIM_: I will try to restrain myself =)
[20:32] <TML> racecar56: Well, a brute force solution is rebooting
[20:32] <lucio12345> ah i see it
[20:32] <graingert> lucio12345-> all working, coolie?
[20:32] <alien_> how do I make full disk encryption on installed system?
[20:32] <lucio12345> thanks
[20:32] <_VIM_> Slart: ty :)
[20:32] <xnmrph> I did. It hasn't helped
[20:32] <lucio12345> another problem i have a pdf printer as default printer
[20:32] <step21> xnmrph: not sure which applies to you the most. next time do your googling yourself maybe?
[20:32] <lucio12345> CUPS-PDF
[20:32] <TML> I can't recall off-hand how to figure out what processes are using a particular kernel mod
[20:32] <user_> marcel: man lp
[20:32] <lucio12345> but a program doesn't see it
[20:32] <nici> Witam
[20:32] <graingert> lucio12345-> which one?
[20:32] <xnmrph> Like I said, I already read that page. It didn't help
[20:32] <xnmrph> That's why I'm here
[20:33] <robson_> what's a really good WM? i don't want any taskbar or icons or folder support. i just want good alt tabbing and a right click menu
[20:33] <lucio12345> ise webpack from xilinx
[20:33] <_VIM_> lucio12345: if you go to http://localhost:631 you can set default printer i think
[20:33] <_VIM_> if you haven already
[20:33] <racecar56> ok but where does sd_mod go?
[20:33] <TML> racecar56: What do you mean "where does it go"? It's a kernel module.
[20:34] <racecar56> where do i find it
[20:34] <racecar56> i have to kill whats using it
[20:34] <_VIM_> robson_: openbox, ratpoison, stumpwm, the list goes on
[20:34] <italo> my keybord is not working so good, in some aplycations like in this one i can't put acent under the letters ´a  (á) like shoud be
[20:34] <linda_> i've got a problem with a printer
[20:34] <minche> amarok not working :(
[20:34] <nn_skype_tech> hi all
[20:34] <lucio12345> ok for localhost:631 but the cups-pdf is already the default printer
[20:34] <Slart> racecar56: lsmod might give you some info
[20:34] <TML> racecar56: Like I said, "reboot" is one way
[20:34] <linda_> anyone got time
[20:34] <racecar56> k
[20:34] <lucio12345> lot of  programs see it
[20:34] <Slart> linda_: just ask your question
[20:34] <_VIM_> robson_: wikipedia has a really good window manager comparison chart. google it :)
[20:34] <lucio12345> but only that i need to use ignores the pdf-cups
[20:34] <robson_> thanks
[20:35] <_VIM_> np
[20:35] <Slart> linda_: if someone knows the answer they will probably answer.. if not just repeat the whole question ever 20 minutes or so
[20:35] <minche> "audio output unavailable; the device is busy"
[20:35] <minche> please :(
[20:35] <racecar56> going to restart
[20:35] <linda_> well the computer claims the printer is not connected, but it is by a USB cable. why I try lsusb it doesn't show up.
[20:36] <italo> my keybord is not working so good, in some aplycations like in this one i can't put acent under the letters ´a  (á) like shoud be
[20:36] <nn_skype_tech> If anyone here want's live voice tech support and have a working mike contact my skype account .. linuxtech128
[20:36] <minche> T_T
[20:36] <step21> xnmrph: did you check if you have all the package installed?
[20:36] <Slart> minche: you're trying to play several sounds at the same time without a hardware mixer I think.. try using pulseaudio
[20:36] <alien_> how do I make full disk encryption on installed system?
[20:36] <nightrid3r> linda_: is it switched on ?
[20:36] <Newfie_rich> Hey all, I am just looking for a simple graphics program similar to MS Paint that makes cutting and pasting pictures together easy.
[20:36] <TML> minche: You have something else using the audio, probably some sort of audio demon like esd or kartsd
[20:36] <linda_> yes
[20:36] <TML> Newfie_rich: Try mtpaint
[20:36] <durt> linda_:pastebin the output of lsusb
[20:36] <robson_> i think Ion is the WM i wanted. is it decent?
[20:37] <alien_> Newfie_rich, GIMP does not do?
[20:37] <durt> !pastebin | linda_
[20:37] <minche> can i find out whats using the audio?
[20:37] <Slart> linda_: it should show up in lsusb when it's connected.. regardless if you have drivers installed or whatnot.. might the cable be broken in some way? does it work in windows?
[20:37] <xnmrph> step21, I have the ecryptfs package installed. . I've retried what is on the ubuntu page and it either gives some obscure "fopen" error or says that there is already a passphrase for the private folder which I doubt I want to overwrite
[20:37] <Newfie_rich> TML: thanks
[20:37] <italo> my keybord is not working so good, in some aplycations like in this one i can't put acent under the letters ´a  (á) like shoud be
[20:37] <Newfie_rich> alien: its a little bit to complex for quick modifications...
[20:37] <GNUtoo> hello, what optimisations were done for raid device in ubuntu's userland(such as changing values in /sys) and where can I find that(hdparm -tT /dev/md1 shows 4MB on my gentoo sytstem but 112 on ubuntu)

[20:38] <italo> Gnome ubuntu
[20:38] <step21> xnmrph: mmmh, fopen error does not sound good. sorry but as I don't use these myself I don't think I can help you ..
[20:38] <linda_> Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 it's like that on all four buses
[20:38] <O__o> i dont have ati or intel video card
[20:38] <O__o> do i need to update them?
[20:38] <TML> italo: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard
[20:38] <xnmrph> step21. Yes, well, as with most things in Ubuntu, it's fine until it goes wrong. I'll stick with truecrypt from now on I think.
[20:39] <Myxb> hi. i noticed that during login and shutdown many messages appear 2 times is a row. what can it be?
[20:39] <durt> linda_: what laptop or motherboard?
[20:39] <TML> italo: Layouts -> Other options

[20:39] <linda_> can't find a model number
[20:39] <user_> linda_: can you pastebin your dmesg also?
[20:40] <Pici> O__o: Thats normal, they aer included by default.  If you have limited bandwidth you don't need to upgrade them.
[20:40] <linda_> sorry dimension 4550
[20:40] <TML> Eclipse + PDT is popular these days
[20:40] <O__o> i dont have limited bandwidth
[20:40] <sparcio_> how can i enable internet connection sharing in ubuntu ?

[20:40] <durt> linda_:So nothing's coming up in usb, tried any other devices?
[20:41] <robson_> is there a package in ubuntu for the Ion WM? I can't find it

[20:41] <Zyrc> Having some issues with installing, got a new motherboard so I needed to reinstall, took a while, but I wrote and installed from a CD(more or less default settings, with a 10 GB Partition on the Primary Slave Drive), but the computer hangs when I tries to boot, I'm using Gigabyte_GA-MA69G-S3H motherboard(has some errors mentioned in the wiki), suggestions?(mainly want to be able to boot my computer into an OS is all)
[20:41] <O__o> how come there are always update from awn??
[20:41] <O__o> it is like almost everyday
[20:41] <O__o> is it normal?
[20:41] <Slart> Zyrc: have you tried the standard stuff? noapic nolapic noacpi?
[20:41] <Pici> O__o: Are you sure you aren't using a third party repository for that?
[20:42] <Myxb> hi. i noticed that during login and shutdown many messages appear 2 times is a row. what can it be? like "shutting down samba..." x2 ??
[20:42] <O__o> i am using third party repos for that
[20:42] <kennethr> How can I enable kernel panic dumps?
[20:42] <Zyrc> kinda new to linux, not really sure what you mean.
[20:42] <zaapiel-mobile> ntel® Centrino® 2 processor technology
[20:42] <zaapiel-mobile> does ubuntu support that?
[20:42] <zaapiel-mobile> <----buying a lappy
[20:42] <user_> zaapiel-mobile: y
[20:42] <racecar56> the reboot worked
[20:42] <nn_skype_tech> robson_, not all packages come with ubuntu ... you can manually grab that package from a debian distro or if you feel really adventurious compile the program your self from source
[20:42] <linda_> here's the pastebin
[20:42] <linda_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/113341/
[20:42] <racecar56> thanks
[20:42] <user_> linda_: thanks!
[20:42] <zaapiel-mobile> user_ kewl
[20:42] <Slart> Zyrc: you can tell the kernel to do things in a certain way or not to use a certain feature on the computer if it's buggy
[20:42] <Pici> O__o: Then you'd have to ask whomever is providing that repo then.

[20:43] <sparcio_> how can i create a virtual access point from my wireless card ?
[20:43] <Slart> Zyrc: you do that by adding stuff to the kernel line in grub when you boot.. it's very common to have to use one of those keywords I mentioned before
[20:43] <O__o> they are in third party software
[20:43] <zaapiel-mobile> yeah
[20:43] <racecar56> now my 4G flash is formatted with fat16, what do i do to make it an ubuntu server bootdisk?

[20:46] <adam___> Question: regarding the command 'file', I have only 3 entries in my /etc/magic file, yet it somehow can identify much more than that, where is it pulling that data fom?
[20:46] <adam___> ls
[20:46] <ran> #ankhsvn
[20:47] <bloofa> adam, run a "strace file | grep open"
[20:47] <meoblast001> is it possible to cancel downloads in qtorrent?
[20:48] <xnmrph> step21, still here?
[20:48] <Pici> adam___: The manpage explains where it pulls stuff from when dealing with stuff that is not matched from the system magic file.
[20:48] <tonyyarusso> sparcio_: Click the network manager applet, select "Create new wireless network"
[20:48] <platipii> can someone explain why dc++ hangs on connecting, can it be a firewall blacking the port?
[20:48] <Slart> adam___: check the man page for file.. I think the files are listed there
[20:48] <sparcio_> how can i create a virtual access point from my wireless card ?
[20:49] <adam___> oh i see, usr/share/file/magic.mgc sorry about that

[20:51] <racecar56> now my 4G flash is formatted with fat16, what do i do to make it an ubuntu server bootdisk?
[20:51] <tonyyarusso> sparcio_: you'll need to set up the proper "routes"
[20:52] <user_> dixon: just curious, are you using a selfcompiled kernel?
[20:52] <dixon> no
[20:52] <dixon> trying to get it to work
[20:52] <dixon> been on forums looking fer help
[20:53] <louis> irc.2600.net:6667
[20:53] <sparcio_> tonyyarusso: i am not talking about layer 4 problem,  its layer 1 ,. ok if it is not available to create a acces point but can we create a mesh network. i am considering serious ubuntu based deployments here for educational purposes. so this would be a breakthrough moment
[20:53] <louis> help
[20:53] <ianm_> Slart: yeah, restarting doesn't seem to help
[20:54] <racecar56> ubuntu finally decided to work, it displayed my server, then i got into it and moved everything into ~/Documents/Backup. WOOOOOOOOO!

[20:54] <crudson> Would anyone have ideas as to why XDMCP session is really slow (gnome or xfce) with 8.10. I have identical hardware running 7.10 that is lightning fast with XDMCP. A number of things work fine (window resizing, dragging) but things like navigating menus is terribly slow.
[20:54] <Imaginativeone> pLr: still around?
[20:55] <racecar56> maybe ubuntu 6.x would be even faster
[20:55] <racecar56> lol
[20:55] <Imaginativeone> how do I switch from the KDE desktop to the Ubuntu desktop?
[20:55] <Slart> ianm_: can you describe what tests you've done so far?
[20:55] <tonyyarusso> sparcio_: What?  You've already accomplished layer 1 connectivity, according to what you said.
[20:55] <ianm_> Slart: add a line to /etc/hosts, try a ping of that domain (shows correct new IP), try the domain in firefox, it adds a "www." and fails to find the site
[20:56] <user_> dixon: hmm, what if try to remove usbdev2.5_ep81 and 82 before pluggin in the cam, does that make sense?
[20:56] <Slart> ianm_: hmm.. let me try that on my machine
[20:57] <danopia> hi, can anyone help me with a broken apt?
[20:57] <nDuff> ianm_, entering a full URL (http://foo/) results in less guessing than just the name (foo)
[20:57] <sparcio_> tonyyarusso: do you know something about wireless networks ?
[20:57] <user_> dixon: also you seem to have a tainted kernel (at least the regexp shows up in the log)
[20:58] <ianm_> nDuff: still adds www. then fail
[20:58] <ianm_> nDuff: "Firefox can't find the server at www. ..."
[20:58] <Slart> ianm_: worked right away here.. didn't restart firefox or anything..
[20:58] <kriss3d> sweet.. finally made wow run in ubuntu.. had to install the propritary drivers from ati
[20:59] <ianm_> hmm adding a line for www.domain in /etc/hosts seems to fix it
[20:59] <Slart> ianm_: no proxies or anything else?
[20:59] <user_> !pastebin > danopia hi, please pastebin the output of your apt command
[20:59] <danopia> k
[20:59] <tonyyarusso> sparcio_: something, sure.  everything, no.
[20:59] <faryshta> kriss3d, you think is possible to install AoE?
[20:59] <ianm_> Slart: nope, firefox is set to "gnome proxy settings" and gnome is set to "direct internet connection"
[20:59] <danopia> http://danopia.pastebin.com/mc0df40e
[20:59] <bronson> Running Intrepid...  1280x800 and a whole bunch of bogus resolutions show up in the Screen Resolutions control panel.
[20:59] <danopia> user_, http://danopia.pastebin.com/mc0df40e
[20:59] <bronson> But 2560x1600 doesn't show up.
[20:59] <bronson> Anyone know how I get it to show up?
[21:00] <sparcio_> bronson: get drivers
[21:00] <bronson> sparcio_, I'm running the propriertary ATI.
[21:00] <mar77i> how do I have my clients on eth1 get their dhcp from the router on eth0?
[21:00] <bronson> The non-proprietary just crashes / blank screen / something.
[21:00] <user_> danopia: i have to give the question back to the group, sorry
[21:00] <kouya> do i need to install sun java to get the java-5-plugin to work in browser? or is just the pluging "enough"
[21:01] <danopia> user_, kthen
[21:01] <cam__> hi
[21:01] <coz_> hey guys could someone upload a copy of their default intrepid bashrc file? I deleted mine by stupidity :)
[21:01] <danopia> can anyone help me with a broken apt? full output at http://danopia.pastebin.com/mc0df40e
[21:01] <faryshta> kouya, install the plugin, synaptic will install anything else needed. Then restart FF.
[21:01] <Pici> coz_: check /etc/skel/.bashrc
[21:01] <racecar56> now my 4G flash is formatted with fat16, what do i do to make it an ubuntu server bootdisk?
[21:02] <coz_> Pici,  will do
[21:02] <kouya> faryshta: thank you
[21:02] <ianm_> Slart, nDuff: so adding a line to /etc/hosts for the subdomain www. seemed to do it.  *shrug*  thanks for the help
[21:02] <nexos> is there a mode for screen to automatically detach the session after starting?
[21:02] <Imaginativeone> danopia: I have a similar problem
[21:02] <sparcio_> bronson: look if there' a update available , if it isn't mail ATI about this
[21:03] <kouya> anyone else here having problems with firefox not saving bookmark changes?
[21:03] <Imaginativeone> I'm having trouble with the Ubuntu desktop packages
[21:03] <bronson> Anyone know how I change the bit depth?
[21:03] <raboof> When viewing the ps at http://arnout.engelen.eu/files/dev/simplelines.ps (using either gv or evince), the lines are note evenly spaced and not of equal thickness.
[21:03] <bronson> Do I have to create an xorg.conf file?
[21:03] <raboof> i think that's rather odd - might that be a problem in my system configuration somewhere, or is this really the application's normal behaviour?
[21:03] <redvamp128> danopia:  you could possibly try this http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/rubygems
[21:04] <snorungen> PLZZ Help! Am supose to do the following to lab in school but I have no idea how!     Write a command (using find, egrep, and a pipe) to list all files in the /usr directory (and its sub-
[21:04] <snorungen> directories) that has man in their name.
[21:04] <kouya> when i restart firefox, the new bookmarks added is gone.
[21:04] <danopia> redvamp128, what do you want me to do with that?
[21:04] <Slart> raboof: they are if you zoom in.. it's probably just an problem with aliasing
[21:04] <user_> snorungen: is that homework? ;-)
[21:04] <redvamp128> danopia:  that according to your packagmanger is whats missing
[21:04] <snorungen> kind of
[21:04] <snorungen> :P
[21:04] <danopia> redvamp128, it's what i'm triyng to install
[21:05] <user_> snorungen: how far have you got? please pastebin your code
[21:05] <danopia> redvamp128, root@danopia:~# sudo apt-get install rubygems
[21:05] <redvamp128> Daniel this is a deb file
[21:05] <raboof> Slart: for me, even zoomed to 400% (in evince), they're certainly not the same thickness - not quite sure about even spacing
[21:05] <Slart> hmm.. don't know what the egrep would be used for.
[21:05] <snorungen> find /usr | egrep 'man'
[21:05] <redvamp128> danopia:  this is the link to an actual deb file
[21:05] <Slart> ah.. nevermind
[21:05] <raboof> Slart: upper/middle/lower lines are clearly thicker/fuzzier
[21:05] <Slart> snorungen: that doesn't work?
[21:06] <Slart> raboof: I think it's the pdf viewer.. have you tried printing the page?
[21:06] <mar77i> how do I have my clients on eth1 get their dhcp from the router on eth0? what's the correct term for this? bridge?
[21:06] <racecar56> ok ill be rebooting alot so i wont be back in a while
[21:06] <redvamp128> danopia:  it is possible that by downloading and installing from deb will actually install instead of using apt
[21:06] <racecar56> goodbye everyine
[21:06] <racecar56> *everyone
[21:07] <nexos> redvamp128, try aptitude
[21:07] <raboof> Slart: moment, i'll print it
[21:07] <raboof> Slart: but still, i'd like it to look good on screen, too :)
[21:07] <snorungen> well kind of....but it list all files in a sub that contains the string man even if the file dosent
[21:07] <redvamp128> nexos:  her apt-get didn't grab the file -- danopia: not me
[21:07] <redvamp128> nexos:  danopia private pastebin - collaborative debugging tool <http://danopia.pastebin.com/mc0df40e>
[21:07] <Slart> raboof: mm.. I'm not sure if it can be fixed by generating a better ps file or getting a better reader..
[21:08] <raboof> Slart: the ps file is as trivial as they get, not sure what could be improved... (view it, i just wrote it by hand)
[21:08] <Slart> snorungen: find has lots and lots of options.. find /usr -iname man is one way of doing it
[21:08] <Slart> raboof: then we blame the reader =)
[21:08] <sparcio_> tonyyarusso: thanks man for help i found how to setup ubuntu as a access point here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode  :)
[21:08] <Trijntje> .xsession-errors shows an error from nautilus, something about not being able to open /var/lib/samba/usershares. I dont have samba on my pc, how do i prevent nautilus from trying?
[21:09] <NotSure> how do I see what minimized windows are still open?
[21:09] <sparcio_> thanks everyone
[21:09] <user_> snorungen: can you give me the line in the find manpage i gave you? ;-)
[21:09] <gnuskool> wots the anme of the installer used to install linux from within xp?
[21:09] <tonyyarusso> sparcio_: excellent
[21:09] <redvamp128> nexos:  so if apt didn't get it odds are that aptitude may not be able to grab it--- but this is a link to the actual deb file .. Ubuntu -- Package Download Selection -- rubygems_1.3.0~RC1really1.2.0-2ubuntu3_all.deb <http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/all/rubygems/download>

[21:09] <raboof> Slart: or my configuration :)
[21:09] <gnuskool> Slart: cheers
[21:09] <Slart> raboof: nah.. its' the same thing here
[21:10] <nexos> redvamp128, iirc aptitude has a mode to install a file from harddrive
[21:10] <NotSure> i minimize a window and it disappears... it doesn't go to the taskbar as it should... How do I see what windows are still open?
[21:10] <fwaokda> how can i open another new window of the text editor? not a new tab but a new window???
[21:10] <Slart> raboof: I just use small doses of valium when I watch it.. that way I can still stand it =)
[21:10] <raboof> Slart: hrm :/ - i can't quite imagine that both evince and the venerable ghostview are both so bad at displaying trivial postscript files...
[21:10] <raboof> Slart: :)
[21:11] <redvamp128> nexos:  it is for danopia not me-- and this is a link to the pastebin from earlier -- danopia private pastebin - collaborative debugging tool <http://danopia.pastebin.com/mc0df40e>
[21:11] <gnuskool> Slart: you wouldnt know off the top of your head if its possible to install vista to an xp and linux wubi install, would ya?
[21:11] <redvamp128> gnuskool:  you would have to install Vista then restore grub
[21:11] <user_> snorungen: so, please man find and find the part about the -printf option
[21:11] <bove2> hi. I have a SD card where one partition always refuses to umount, even after reformatting. any explanations for that?
[21:12] <pLr> redvamp128: apt-get build-dep rubygens
[21:12] <snorungen> if you are refering to the -printf $h it doesent work fore me
[21:12] <pLr> redvamp128: sudo apt-get build-dep rubygems
[21:12] <nexos> redvamp128, ok, my fault... i'll keep on playing with the compiz cube...
[21:12] <Slart> gnuskool: no idea, sorry
[21:12] <redvamp128> pLr:  that is for danopia I don't have that issue
[21:12] <bing> is there an easy way to sync the packages between two instances of ubuntu 8.10?
[21:13] <danopia> pLr, E: Build-dependencies for rubygems could not be satisfied.
[21:13] <gnuskool> Slart: no prob, i wanna test drive vista 7, ill tinker with it, cheers
[21:13] <redvamp128> danopia:  just try my deb file
[21:13] <sjovan> hey, does some one know of a free program to draw eletronic circuts?
[21:13] <user_> snorungen: are you sure about "$h", its more about "%something"

[21:14] <WastePotato> Hi. I'm trying to change some options on my touchpad and get this error when starting gsynaptics. http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3606/screenshotac0.png The question is, which options do I enter/change in Xorg.conf?
[21:14] <redvamp128> NotSure:  have you tried-- system -- administration -- system monitor
[21:14] <pLr> danopia: sudo apt-get install rubygems1.8
[21:14] <danopia> pLr, can't find package
[21:14] <sammmmy1357> hi ppl...how to get an image to display in my conky???

[21:15] <danopia> redvamp128, i forget how to isntall .deb files
[21:15] <danopia> what command is it?
[21:15] <redvamp128> danopia:  just double click it
[21:15] <danopia> it's my server
[21:15] <danopia> i dont' have X
[21:15] <redvamp128> ahh ok
[21:15] <redvamp128> gdeb
[21:15] <lstarnes> danopia: dpkg -i
[21:16] <lavender> How could I remove the damn password prompt at restart/shutdown?
[21:16] <Trijntje> in my .xsession-errors file nautilus complains that it cannot add monitor because it is not supported. What is going on here?
[21:16] <danopia>  rubygems depends on libgems-ruby1.8 (= 0.9.4-4); however:
[21:16] <danopia>   Package libgems-ruby1.8 is not installed.
[21:16] <nexos> dpkg was what i searched ...
[21:16] <redvamp128> sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[21:16] <kriss3d> To run a Fw script id just have to run it from rc.3 right ?
[21:16] <HailandKill> How can you see what versions of software you can install with apt and hence.. how do you then install older versions?
[21:16] <redvamp128> danopia:  you have to cd to the directory where you downloaded it
[21:16] <danopia> redvamp128, i did
[21:16] <danopia> i used my homedir
[21:16] <lstarnes> danopia: you need to install all its dependencies manually when using dpkg directly instead of apt
[21:16] <sammmmy1357> anyone know how to get an image to display in my conky???
[21:16] <danopia> i think that it wants me to download the deps too
[21:17] <pLr> k redvamp128 finish what u were doing.. say my name if it doesnt work out
[21:17] <redvamp128> then just sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[21:17] <Trijntje> lavender: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/315/how-to-shutdown-and-reboot-without-sudo-password/
[21:17] <bronson> How do I change my monitor's bit depth?
[21:17] <wcchandler> When a system boots what is it called when there's a picture in the background?
[21:17] <redvamp128> danopia they had to pick a long file name
[21:18] <danopia> redvamp128, hmm?
[21:18] <redvamp128> I would dir first -- then use that command
[21:18] <lstarnes> wcchandler: I think that's a splash screen
[21:18] <lavender> thanks
[21:18] <Electro> hello world :D
[21:18] <danopia> redvamp128, i'm working out of my homedir and the only file is the .deb
[21:18] <wcchandler> Just the generic term "splash screen"?
[21:18] <danopia> and it wants me to get another package
[21:18] <danopia> but that one errors out on dependancies when i try getting it via apt, too
[21:19] <b3z3rk3r> Electro, lol. well done, you just wrote your first program!
[21:19] <Scunizi> How do I get my dns servers 're-recognized' ?? I've just opened an openDNS account and have setup the router. now my system needs to see them as well..
, yep)
[21:20] <redvamp128> danopia:  sudo dpkg -i package.deb (where package.deb is the actual file name)
[21:20] <wcchandler> THANK YOU lstarness :)
[21:20] <graingert> Scunizi-> re connect and DHCP will re issue them
[21:20] <danopia> redvamp128, i did that
[21:20] <danopia> redvamp128, it failed
[21:20] <Scunizi> graingert: thanks.
[21:20] <lstarnes> danopia: did you install all the dependencies?
[21:20] <sammmmy1357> conky anyone???
[21:20] <redvamp128> okay only other thing to try is possibly the 1.9
[21:20] <danopia> lstarnes, they wont' install via apt either
[21:20] <danopia> same issue as the main one
[21:20] <redvamp128> lstames this is what is missing
[21:20] <pLr> redvamp128: they will both fail .. need deps
[21:20] <danopia> lstarnes, i followed it down to one saying i need ruby
[21:20] <danopia> lstarnes, which IS installed
[21:20] <pLr> redvamp128: fix the deps w/ danopia
[21:20] <redvamp128> pLr:  Ubuntu -- Details of package rubygems in intrepid <http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/rubygems>
[21:21] <lstarnes> danopia: it might require a specific version of ruby
[21:21] <HailandKill> How can I see what versions of a particular package there are I can install?
[21:21] <bronson> Is it possible to change my screen's bit depth in Intrepid?
[21:21] <HailandKill> with apt... that is.
[21:21] <redvamp128> This version says NO depedncies needed
[21:21] <bronson> Found all sorts of ways to do it for Dapper, etc.
[21:21] <mheath> I'm trying to get dual monitors (monitor + TV) on my nvidia (with restricted drivers) card setup. nvidia-settings allowed me to confiugre it fine; I generated the new config file, rebooted to it, and there was no change - now nvidia-settings doesn't even see a TV out option, and "Detect Displays" does nothing. Reverting to the old x config does nothing.
[21:21] <pLr> redvamp128: well the label isnt always right.. o.O
[21:22] <Guest60016> when fsck runs i get the error message: boot sector and its backup are different.  What is the significance of this?
[21:22] <pLr> redvamp128: but apt doesnt lie
[21:22] <redvamp128> only thing it reccomends it build essentials-- and ruby1.8-dev
[21:22] <danopia> lstarnes, redvamp128     http://danopia.pastebin.com/m3bfe1860
[21:23] <redvamp128> danopia:  the only other thing I found is this -- Ubuntu -- Details of package rubygems1.8 in intrepid <http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/rubygems1.8>
[21:23] <fars0> у кого-нибудь пиджин работает ?)
[21:23] <redvamp128> That is supposed to have been installed with intrepid though
[21:23] <fars0> ацкий протокол*
[21:23] <lstarnes> danopia: you need the <IP_ADDRESS>-2ubuntu1.2 version of ruby1.8 in order for that version of irb1.8 to work
[21:23] <redvamp128> !ru | fars0
[21:24] <danopia> lstarnes, so what shuold i do?
[21:24] <sparcio_> how much space is consumed in a default installation of 8.10 on a 4 GB flash

[21:24] <WastePotato> Hi. I'm trying to change some options on my touchpad and get this error when starting gsynaptics. http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3606/screenshotac0.png The question is, which options do I enter/change in Xorg.conf?
[21:24] <cam__> hey I need help with a raid0 problem please
[21:24] <redvamp128> danopia:  is it possible that you didn't get the default ruby installed with your intrepid
[21:25] <guntbert> sparcio_: it fits onto a 1GB stick :)
[21:25] <cam__> does anyone knows things about that?
[21:25] <guntbert> !ask | cam
[21:25] <Es|Shotgun> hey anyone here mind helpin me?
[21:25] <danopia> redvamp128, no idea, i set it up after i got the server with apt
[21:25] <cam__> I installed ubuntu-studio
[21:25] <b3z3rk3r> cam__, was that a 1337 "radio" problem or a RAID 0 problem ? :P
[21:25] <Imaginativeone> how do I run php in apache?
[21:26] <cam__> from an ubuntu 32 bits
[21:26] <redvamp128> danopia:  try this first then the other one you downloaded Ubuntu -- Details of package rubygems1.8 in intrepid <http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/rubygems1.8>
[21:26] <cam__> raid 0
[21:26] <danopia> redvamp128, i just purged it and added it back, still too old or w/e
[21:26] <guntbert> !ask | Es|Shotgun
[21:26] <cam__> it did it many times
[21:26] <user_> !lamp | Imaginativeone
[21:26] <cam__> and i never had a problem
[21:26] <wcchandler> Anybody familiar with vesa framebuffering?
[21:26] <guntbert> !enter | cam__
[21:26] <cam__> until yesterday
[21:26] <cam__> ok
[21:26] <cam__> :)
[21:26] <redvamp128> danopia:  that one above first- then the one we downloaded there is a link to a 1.9 but your dependencies called for 1.8
[21:26] <sparcio_> guntbert: how can we install it in only 1 Gb ?
[21:26] <Es|Shotgun> I woud like to use a CRON Job to automatically download an entire directory from an FTP Server at regular intervals, if anyone knows how to do this, please help
[21:27] <Y-Town> I have a directory I created as a different user on this system called /Share.  When I look at it as this user I see locks on the folders inside.  I want to make /Share so that everyone can access add delete and do whatever sionce its a total share for everyone.  I am not worried about security this is a home network basically sharing music, videos documents etc..  So How would I properly change the permissions so everyone can add and
[21:27] <Y-Town> delete
[21:27] <cam__> So, I reinstalled ubuntu 64 bits in an already partionned disk with seperate /home
[21:27] <danopia> redvamp128, actually i think i have hardy
[21:27] <cam__> I only format /
[21:27] <Es|Shotgun> anyone?
[21:28] <cam__> and did all as i always do but my md0 is not mounting now
[21:28] <nightrid3r> Y-Town: chmod -R 777 dir/
[21:28] <user_> Es|Shotgun: you know the tools? just plug them together! then post errormessages here ;-)
[21:28] <cam__> I have troubles when trying mounting it by hand too
[21:28] <Es|Shotgun> the problem is i have no clue where to start (sorta new to linux... sorry)
[21:28] <redvamp128> danopia:  you said earlier intrepid
[21:29] <guntbert> sparcio_: are you not talking about intrepid's "create a usb startup"?
[21:29] <user_> Es|Shotgun: ok, read wikipedia about cron, then just do a test cron entry on your system
[21:29] <Es|Shotgun> i know how to setup a cron job
[21:29] <Es|Shotgun> i don't know how to ftp
[21:29] <cam__> here is what I get when I want to mount md0
[21:29] <Es|Shotgun> using cron
[21:29] <bronson> Is it simply impossible to set the screen's bit depth in Intrepid?
[21:30] <bronson> Can't find anything on the web for post-Hardy.
[21:30] <cam__> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0
[21:30] <nate1> is there a way to get all the programs installed on backtrack on ubuntu
[21:30] <sparcio_> guntbert: so wouldn't it ask for the live cd again after installing

[21:30] <Y-Town> nightrid3r: Thanks that did it I believe
[21:30] <nate1> or a list of all the programs so that i can install them
[21:30] <user_> Es|Shotgun: you can use wget for ftp-downloads
[21:30] <cam__> my /proc/mdstat is empty
[21:30] <widget54> hello, just getting my new installation of Ubuntu set up
[21:30] <Es|Shotgun> oh you can?
[21:31] <piasdom> anyone know where the driver are for a gforce 6200 video card ?
[21:31] <cam__> Is there any way to get this raid partition mounted again without format it?
[21:31] <user_> Es|Shotgun: wget --user=xyz --password=xyz ftp://ftp.server.com/pub/file.txt
[21:31] <guntbert> sparcio_: that is *like* a live CD, but on a stick to boot from *and* you still can store "things" in the live system
[21:31] <SmokeyD> hey people. I have a problem with a package upgrade. Some local file was overwritten over a file contained in an ubuntu package and now dpkg complains that it won't overwrite local files
[21:31] <HailandKill> Y-Town: Changing the folder your folder with chmod 777 will help for a while, but as users add their own files and folders you'll find permissions might become a nightmare. I'd suggest reading a little bit more into linux groups and then permissions, in particular "sticky bits" will help http://www.zzee.com/solutions/unix-permissions.shtml
[21:31] <SmokeyD> dpkg --configure --force-all doesn't help
[21:31] <SmokeyD> any clues?
[21:31] <Es|Shotgun> i need an entire directory tho, not just one file (and i'd like it to ignor old files if possible)
[21:32] <Cpudan80> cam__: sure ... was it mounted automatically before?
[21:32] <cam__> yep many times
[21:32] <Cpudan80> cam__: if so you can probably just do sudo mount -a
[21:32] <user_> Es|Shotgun: so you need a mirroring tool. try man rsync
[21:32] <Cpudan80> !raid | cam__
[21:32] <Y-Town> HailandKill: thanks I will do some research on that
[21:33] <cam__> Cpudan80: It can't be mounted because I have
[21:33] <Es|Shotgun> k thanks i'll look at that
[21:33] <cam__> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0,
[21:33] <bmk789> how can i test if an app is actually 64bit?
[21:33] <piasdom> hello all
[21:33] <Slart> bmk789: file `which <applicationnamehere>`
[21:33] <piasdom> anyone know where the driver are for a gforce 6200 video card ?
[21:34] <Es|Shotgun> user__ does this require the remote server to have SSH?
[21:34] <Es|Shotgun> and for me to have access to is?
[21:34] <Es|Shotgun> it*
[21:34] <Slart> bmk789: so file `which firefox` to see what kind of firefox you're running
[21:34] <Scunizi> piasdom: you should be able to go to System>Administration>Hardware drivers and enable them there.
[21:34] <cam__> seems to have issues with my superblock, I read things about saved superblock but I don't know where it can be and how I have to restore it
[21:34] <piasdom> Scunizi: thanks
[21:34] <bmk789> Slart, that just told me where the executable is
[21:34] <Slart> bmk789: of course, it sometimes just points to a script or something
[21:35] <user_> Es|Shotgun: no, but its highly recommended to tunnel it depending on your network setup
[21:35] <Wolv3> some software like ares?
[21:35] <Scunizi> piasdom: if you haven't done your initial updates yet. you might want to do that first.
[21:35] <Slart> bmk789: you didn't forget the "file" part, right?
[21:35] <piasdom> Scunizi: thanks  k
[21:36] <bmk789> Slart, ah
[21:36] <Slart> bmk789: which tells you what a certain command run..things between ` ` gets run and replaced with the output..
[21:36] <piasdom> Scunizi: no prop. drivers...haven't installed drivers yet...new card
[21:36] <GeffIsLegend> HEY GUYS i think i broked my computer...
[21:36] <bmk789> Slart, thanks
[21:37] <PSiL0> damn, banshee is such a cpu hog
[21:37] <SmokeyD> is there any other way to make dpkg overwrite local files then --force-overwrite and --force-all?
[21:37] <Slart> bmk789: you're welcome
[21:37] <SmokeyD> or is there a way to find out which files dpkg is refusing to overwrite?
[21:38] <cam__> I tried mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1

[21:43] <Slart> Scunizi, emma: seriously.. either you two talk in pm's or the offtopic channel.. we don't need it here
[21:43] <emma> Scunizi: What does that have to do with the veracity of my comment?
[21:43] <pLr> danopia: so its not red hat.. its ubuntu hardy 8.04
[21:43] <emma> Slart: I tend to agree. I would like him to leave me alone.
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> emma may I have a minute please
[21:44] <danopia> pLr, well, i jsut looked in /proc/version which reoprted redhat
[21:44] <Moses> da
[21:44] <pLr> danopia: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
[21:44] <pLr> danopia: when that is all done we will continue
[21:45] <guntbert> Moses: do you have a question?
[21:45]  * danopia waits
[21:45] <danopia> pLr, it didn't do anything
[21:45] <danopia> both upgrades at the end got '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.'
[21:45] <pLr> danopia: perfect
[21:46] <Cpudan80> Whats the command to redo your path ?
[21:46] <Cpudan80> like if you edit .bashrc
[21:46] <GaryDarko> Hello everyone, im getting a very bad nvidia problem with ubuntu 8.10, everytime i insstall ubuntu 8.10 and try enabling the hardware drivers for nvidia like 173 etc..etc.. ive tried all 3 of them and then i reboot it drops to a shell and ask me to login.. and i cant do anything... lol and i have to reformat and re install 8.10.. ive been searching google for a while now and i now have 8.10 installed without nvidia graphics so no 3d accele
[21:46] <GaryDarko> ration, any ideas ?
[21:46] <pLr> danopia: sudo apt-get install rubygems (sorry if you've been through this)
[21:46] <tsrk> How do the permissions of a drive that i mount get decided?
[21:46] <oCean_> Cpudan80: to modify your PATH you mean?
[21:46] <kaduk> Whe DVD players will work on Ubuntu ??
[21:46] <danopia> pLr, E: Broken packages
[21:46] <GNUtoo> hello,I'm tired of asking...does someone knows ubuntu boot process
[21:46] <Cpudan80> oCean_: after you modify $PATH, you have to do some little command to make it take affect ....
[21:46] <ChrisSTD> So, so
[21:47] <GNUtoo> I have a problem with raid: on ubuntu is't ok on gentoo it's slow
[21:47] <pLr> danopia: sudo apt-get check rubygems
[21:47] <danopia> pLr, btw i'm working as root, no need to type sudo
[21:47] <oCean_> Cpudan80: nope. If you modify like .bashrc, then you have to "source" that file. Modifying your path: "export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir/to/add"
[21:47] <Slart> GaryDarko: sounds like installing the driver doesn't work.. what graphics card are you using?
[21:47] <pLr> danopia: good 2 know thx
[21:47] <user_> tsrk: /etc/fstab and umask
[21:47] <root_____> is there something wrnog with message queues in ubuntu?
[21:47] <oCean_> Cpudan80: effective immediately
[21:47] <danopia> pLr, reading stat info... done, then it closed
[21:48] <danopia> pLr, 3 lines of output
[21:48] <Cpudan80> oCean_: so source ~/.bashrc ?
[21:48] <GaryDarko> im using nvidia 6600 GT, and i have 2 of them but just getting one to work would be nice :D
[21:48] <Slart> GaryDarko: have you tried using envyng ?
[21:48] <pLr> danopia: see if install gives same output
[21:48] <oCean_> Cpudan80: yes, that would "re-read" the .bashrc file
[21:48] <Cpudan80> oh ok
[21:48] <GaryDarko> well im a complete noob so i have no idea how to use it :(
[21:48] <GNUtoo> anyone...where should I look for documentation on ubuntu's boot process and on obtimisations it does for md devices?
[21:48] <Cpudan80> Yeah I needed the source command ;-)
[21:48] <root_____> is there something wrnog with message queues in ubuntu?
[21:48] <Cpudan80> Thanks oCean_
[21:48] <ortsvorsteher> GNUtoo: so, if it is okay on ubuntu, why not ask in gentoo forum?
[21:48] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, i've done it
[21:48] <danopia> pLr, same thing if itry installing rubygems now
[21:49] <GaryDarko> i saw something on google about EnvyNG but like i said i do not know how to use it or how to start.
[21:49] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, but with an ubuntu kernel,and initrd and a gentoo rootfs it's not okay
[21:49] <Slart> GaryDarko: ok.. no worries.. we start by removing all the drivers that might have been installed before.. "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia.*" ought to do it
[21:49] <pLr> danopia: add --fix-broken
[21:49] <GaryDarko> ok 1 sec
[21:49] <ortsvorsteher> GNUtoo: i dont use gentoo, so sorry, i couldnt help you ...
[21:49] <GaryDarko> with the period ?
[21:49] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, so ubuntu does something during its boot process that I'd like to know...and that render the array fast
[21:49] <danopia> pLr, same thing
[21:49] <Slart> GaryDarko: yes
[21:49] <GaryDarko> and star ?
[21:49] <tsrk> What permissions change if I have a drive mounted on /media/disk and change the permissions of /media/disk?
[21:49] <Slart> GaryDarko: yes
[21:49] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, i'm not asking help on gentoo but on ubuntu boot process
[21:49] <GaryDarko> ok 1 sec
[21:50] <GaryDarko> done
[21:50] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, because I suspect that ubuntu do things such as setting things in /sys that render the system fast
[21:50] <ortsvorsteher> GNUtoo: the boot process. but you mean boot process with two different os...
[21:50] <Slart> GaryDarko: ok, now install envyng, "sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk"
[21:50] <piasdom> Scunizi: thanks anyway...appreciate your time
[21:50] <pLr> danopia: try synaptic's repair broken packages function
[21:50] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, no I mean after the rootfs is mounted
[21:50] <GaryDarko> ok 1 sec
[21:50] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, so it's ubuntu's part
[21:50] <root_____> is there something wrnog with message queues in ubuntu?
[21:50] <GaryDarko> ok done.
[21:51] <cleromaurice> ok
[21:51] <Slart> GaryDarko: now run envyng from a terminal.. try typing "envy" then press tab and see what it suggests
[21:51] <danopia> pLr, how?
[21:51] <GaryDarko> ok 1 sec
[21:51] <ortsvorsteher> GNUtoo: i understand, but i didnt ever figured out the boot process in ubuntu cause it runs here without problems
[21:51] <ortsvorsteher> !boot | GNUtoo
[21:51] <pLr> danopia: you have a desktop now? or just cli?
[21:51] <danopia> pLr, cli only, X isn't even installed
[21:51] <GNUtoo> ortsvorsteher, thanks a lot
[21:52] <ortsvorsteher> GNUtoo: you are welcome :)
[21:52] <spawn> i cant fingure out why im getting this error when installing aircrack http://pastebin.com/m7c6f1526
[21:52] <GaryDarko> i typed envy and pressed tab and it put envyng and said "ERROR: you need to provide a parameter"
[21:52] <Slart> GaryDarko: you might have to run "engyng -g"
[21:52] <GaryDarko> ok 1 sec
[21:52] <Slart> GaryDarko: sorry.. "envyng -g"
[21:52] <GaryDarko> ERROR: Make sure that envyng-qt is installed
[21:53] <Slart> GaryDarko: huh.. silly program.. try "envyng -t" then
[21:53] <GaryDarko> ok 1 sec lol
[21:53] <asdfg_> im not really sure where to ask this, so why not here -- what is the main benefit behind using multiple ports for different proccesses?
[21:53] <dan> helloU! trying to put (k)ubuntu on the box, the installer offers (50biggest_free), i was choosing it, then step 7 of 7 (last chance to exit) wants to install on SCSI(0,0,0), Partitions 5(ext3) and 6. Previously i had a win* table out of (WinRecovery ~ /dev/sda1 ,) C:  = * /dev/sda2 and some D: /dev/sda3 which is now removed and "free space". If i pless OK, do i install in the free space?! (The installer shows NO SIZE, no /dev/...)
[21:53] <asdfg_> whoops
[21:53] <pLr> danopia: apt-get -m -f install

[21:53] <danopia> pLr, now what
[21:53] <GaryDarko> ok it gave me a message but i cant paste it here
[21:54] <Slart> GaryDarko: it should write out a small menu, right?
[21:54] <pLr> danopia: install rubygems
[21:54] <Wunderbar> can't tell the difference between xubuntu and ubuntu gnome edition
[21:54] <GaryDarko> well im pretty sure this looks like errors to me
[21:54] <Slart> GaryDarko: hmm. copy to pastebin
[21:54] <danopia> pLr, nope
[21:54] <GaryDarko> on the last line it says "TypeError: list indices must be integers"
[21:54] <Slart> !pastebin | GaryDarko
[21:54] <GaryDarko> ok one second.

[21:56] <GaryDarko> ok
[21:57] <GaryDarko> done
[21:57] <redvamp128> kurrata:  you could try going into sound options -- and make sure all are set to also (or OSS) -- system-- preferences-- sound
[21:57] <Slart> GaryDarko: try engyng -t again
[21:57] <GaryDarko> ok
[21:57] <GaryDarko> same exact thing
[21:57] <Slart> GaryDarko: envyng -t     sorry for my sleepy fingers
[21:57] <GaryDarko> :p its no problem.
[21:58] <GaryDarko> but i did get the same message.
[21:58] <redvamp128> kurrata:  instead of autodetect -- though I would run test beside them to make sure the sound works..
[21:58] <kurrata> ortsvorsteher:  redvamp128 thx
[21:58] <Slart> GaryDarko: hmm.. let me think a second

[22:04] <ortsvorsteher> slacker_nl: i remember as i started with ubuntu 5.04... but, this is off topic here ;)
[22:05] <slacker_nl> haha
[22:05] <GaryDarko> it removed envyNG

[22:06] <Slart> GaryDarko: and reinstalled it, I hope
[22:06] <ortsvorsteher> !details | ToT
[22:06] <Slart> GaryDarko: give it another try
[22:06] <GaryDarko> well i tried envy and again and tab but it did not do anything.
[22:06] <GaryDarko> bash: /usr/bin/envyng: No such file or directory
[22:06] <Chocotoff> Hello, i have a problem with XBMC + Ubuntu 8.10... It keeps crashing while I try to open a samba share > http://pastebin.com/m4c85e9e5
[22:07] <ToT> I am running Kubuntu 8.10 and I have a wireless card with acx111 driver
[22:07] <pLr> gj danopia
[22:07] <Slart> GaryDarko: hmm.. "sudo apt-get install envy.*"
[22:07] <ToT> this driver doesn't support network manager
[22:07] <ToT> so i have to bring up the interface in the old fashioned way
[22:07] <ToT> with /etc/network/interfaces
[22:07] <GaryDarko> installing
[22:07] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | ToT
[22:07] <slacker_nl> ToT, imo that's the way yo configure your network
[22:07] <danopia> pLr, now to get gem working :P
[22:08] <Slart> GaryDarko: then "envyng -t" again
[22:08] <GaryDarko> taking longer this time :)
[22:08] <ToT> yes the issue is, that I can get it to work manually with iwconfig commands, but can't seem to do it with /etc/network/interfaces
[22:08] <Slart> GaryDarko: no worries.. let it work it's magic
[22:08] <GaryDarko> alright :)
[22:08] <eradite> is there a program like foldershare that would allow access to the (ubuntu) hard disk through the internet? (I am not looking for: vnc, rdp, ssh, ftp )
[22:08] <markus_> I installed ubuntu normally on other partition then XP's and the whole ubuntu partition is now root and the question is how can I add swap partition now; where is the partition manager or like in ubuntu ?
[22:09] <slacker_nl> ToT: can you pastebin what you are doing with the iwconfig commands?
[22:09] <GaryDarko> ok now its done
[22:09] <GaryDarko> do the envyng -t ?
[22:09] <slacker_nl> ToT: i myself use wpa_supplicant, ifplugd and guessnet to configure my wireless and wired netwerok
[22:10] <Slart> GaryDarko: yes
[22:10] <GaryDarko> i got the exact same error
[22:10] <guntbert> markus_: gparted is the partition editor, find it in system/administration, you will want to use it from the live CD in your case
[22:10] <ToT> http://paste.ubuntu.com/113353/
[22:10] <Slart> GaryDarko: aaaaarghghhh...
[22:10] <GaryDarko> the message i mean, lol :(
[22:10] <ToT> the acx111 also doesn't support WPA (sadly)
[22:10] <tanto> i have 2 ubuntu servers i'm ssh'ing to. in one, my irssi term settings are messed and the other it's perfect
[22:11] <tanto> i have no idea where to begin looking to fix this
[22:11] <puff> Besides firefox and knoqueror, what other browsers are there?
[22:11] <GaryDarko> am i supposed to add the " "  infromt and back of the sudo apt-get install envy.*  ??
[22:11] <Slart> GaryDarko: I don't understand this..ok.. back to google.. see if anyone else has this problem
[22:11] <Slart> GaryDarko: I'll be right back
[22:11] <tsrk> in a script how do i reference the directory in which the script is in?
[22:11] <puff> I like t have more than one so when I call, say, my bank about problems with their site, I can tell them I've checked it out in several browsers.
[22:11] <Baatti> ok, I've just screwed up my computer :'(
[22:11] <GaryDarko> ok, lol but ive already searched google for about 3 hours now.
[22:11] <puff> Otherwise they tell me to try it in Internet Exploder.  Fah.
[22:11] <slacker_nl> ToT: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-326554.html
[22:11] <Baatti> I was trying to follow instructions for setting up 'flashcam'..
[22:11] <ortsvorsteher> tsrk: $PWD i would try
[22:12] <puff> GaryDarko: What's the problem you're having?
[22:12] <guntbert> tsrk: . references the current directory
[22:12] <tsrk> ortsvorsteher, ok, thanks, i'll try that
[22:12] <tsrk> guntbert, not the working directory but the directory in which the script is
[22:12] <Slart> GaryDarko: ah.. it seems it's a bug when you have more than one graphics card.. look here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/envyng-core/+bug/292173
[22:12] <ortsvorsteher> tsrk: have fun :)
[22:12] <Baatti> now firefox has no bookmarks, no history, won't load even google, has no visual loading bar....
[22:12] <slacker_nl> tanto: maybe your $TERM env is different?
[22:13] <GaryDarko> well im not able to enable my nvidia hardware without dropping to a shell in ubuntu 8.10 :)  and Slart is helping me install envyNG but for some odd reason when i do the envyNG command it gives me a message and did not do anything really :p
 thanks man!
[22:13] <puff> Lessee, firefx, konqueror, epiphany, ah, opera.
[22:13] <serge> hi, if there is a new realise of linux kernel, it is possible to build it on ubuntu?
[22:13] <ToT> yes he has the same problem, but didn't fix it either, thx for pointing it out though
[22:13] <GaryDarko> the envyng -t command i mean, sorry **
[22:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel
[22:13] <tanto> both are set to xterm
[22:14] <guntbert> markus_: glad to help - be careful though :)
[22:14] <slacker_nl> ToT: you could also use a post-up script
, thanks
[22:14] <puff> serge: Probably, but I wouldn't mess with it unless you know what you're doing, until the ubuntu distro folks bring the new kernel in.
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:14] <ToT> slacker_nl: I'm just wondering why it doesn't work anymore, because it used to work with my /etc/network/interface file
[22:14] <slacker_nl> just put the commands you pastebinned into a file, make it executable and call that file as a post-up command
[22:14] <slacker_nl> ToT: aha
[22:14] <Caesi> Hullo, how can I install/use desklets?
[22:14] <slacker_nl> that I don't know
[22:14] <ToT> slacker_nl: how do post-up scripts work?
[22:15] <Caesi> !desklet
[22:15] <Slart> GaryDarko: and you didn't have an "Hardware drivers" option in system, administration?
[22:15] <Caesi> !desklets
[22:15] <jimisrvrox> does VLC on linux read Xvid format clean bc I dont have an internet connection @ home ATM and trying the wmv format tells me that is cant read wmap format or whatever..
[22:15] <adam___> don't use desklets, use screenlets
[22:15] <ortsvorsteher> !bot | Caesi
[22:15] <adam___> they are better
[22:16] <slacker_nl> ToT: I see you are german, maybe you are interessted in this page: http://www.aaron-spettl.de/ubuntu/dynamische-netzwerkkonfiguration.php
[22:16] <Slart> jimisrvrox: I've never had any problems with vlc reading all kinds of formats
[22:16] <Gorlist> just installed a minimal install of Server LTS - is their an apt command to install missing packages to bring it inline to a normal server install?
[22:16] <GaryDarko> i do have a option to click Hardware, and it shows the nvidia drivers to enable but like i said befour ive enabled them all and every one of them drop me to a shell after rebooting and i have to reformat.
[22:16] <Caesi> danke ortsvorsteher :)
[22:16] <ortsvorsteher> Caesi: bitte, have fun ;)
[22:16] <rdw200169> Gorlist, there really isn't one.  you can use tasksel to add stuff like the LAMP server stuff, etc...
[22:16] <Crazy_Louco> have a Brazilian?
[22:16] <Gorlist> ta
[22:16] <Slart> GaryDarko: hmm.. perhaps it's because of the dual cards.. but that seems a bit odd.. you're not the only one running a dual gpu setup
[22:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !br
[22:16] <jimisrvrox> alright slart I'll give the xvid a shot because the wmv doesnt play audio on vlc but it will play the vid with some choppiness
[22:17] <rdw200169> Gorlist, there's the linux-server package, but that's just the kernel... you *should* already have that :)
[22:17] <slacker_nl> ToT: http://pb.opperschaap.net/101 something like this
[22:17] <GaryDarko> well i would be fine with only one, as long as i could just get it enabled haha.
[22:17] <Crazy_Louco> [Jack_Sparrow]: thank you :)
[22:17] <Baatti> Please Help, Ubuntu Emergency. I was following instructions for installing and testing 'Flashcam'... I did: tar xvf flashcam.tar.bz2... then moved to the directory...did: make, then did: sudo make install.  Then I had to do a few commands that I didn't understand the purpose really, things for configuring the cam. It looked like everything was going well, the light on my cam even cam on. Then I moved onto the 'testing' portion of the in
[22:17] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:17] <Gorlist> rdw200169: well not sure what came with the image :)
[22:17] <slacker_nl> ToT: the example is with pre-up and post-down, but the idea is the same
[22:17] <rdw200169> Gorlist, otherwise, without any of the tasksel option, like a LAMP server etc..., the ubuntu server install is about as minimal as you can get
[22:18] <kaz1nsky> I just installed 8.10 from 8.04 and now I have no sound--I have an audigy 2 sb0350b and the volume controls are all correct...
[22:18] <Gorlist> rdw200169: rgr, just doing a Lamp now
[22:18] <rdw200169> Gorlist, but if you want to easily install the most suggested server tasks, just run tasksel on the command line; it'll all make sense from there ;)
[22:18] <ToT> slacker_nl : thank you
[22:18] <Gorlist> rdw200169: or if I just run the plesk 8.6 installer, will that install the nessecary packages?
[22:18] <slacker_nl> ToT: np
[22:18] <dtchen> kaz1nsky: run the http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh script on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems, and tell me the url
[22:19] <rdw200169> Gorlist, the menu it gives you will remind you of what you had, as far as options, during the installation
[22:19] <slacker_nl> ToT: I really like the german page, my setup is the same
[22:19] <aLeSD> hi all

[22:19] <rdw200169> Gorlist, are you aware of APT packaging?
[22:19] <slacker_nl> aLeSD: yes
[22:19] <Gorlist> rdw200169: yes kind off
[22:19] <ortsvorsteher> aLeSD: yes it is. google, there will be a webpage
[22:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !info youtube-dl

[22:20] <rdw200169> Gorlist, something like that should be in the repos.  try this: apt-cache search plesk
[22:20] <Slart> GaryDarko: well.. I'm running out of ideas then.. I doubt that installing the drivers directly from nvidia will work better than the hardware drivers thingy..

[22:20] <Baatti> yeah well...
[22:21] <nellmathew> can someone help me out with : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1059223 , broadcom wifi on intrepid, a lot of info is there on my problem..
[22:21] <GaryDarko> but i just think that 8.10 will not accept old hardware :(
[22:21] <MarcoPau> hello, I have a problem typing some symbols in ubuntu. I did dpkg-reconfigure locales but I still can't type @ (which is done with an alt gr combination in the Italian keyboard) for example, in the terminal or firefox...
[22:21] <Slart> GaryDarko: yup.. but the 6600 isn't that old
[22:21] <rdw200169> Gorlist, ah, it's not in the repos, sorry... but a google search did come up with this:
[22:21] <Jack_Sparrow> GaryDarko the 6600 wasnt a prob here.. only once I tried the one from nvidia did I have terrible issues
[22:21] <Gorlist> rdw200169: plesk is not in the repo,
[22:21] <Baatti> Ubottu, I'd love to go there, but I can't access anything on the web :(
[22:21] <z-e> What it means ??? >>> UNKNOWNv4 <-> UNKNOWNv4  45b/s    0b/s    45b/s - ARP <IP_ADDRESS> ..........  Thanks.
[22:21] <Gorlist> rdw200169: worth a try :)
[22:21] <ortsvorsteher> MarcoPau: did you set your default language to italien?
[22:21] <rdw200169> Gorlist, http://wiki.koshatul.com/Ubuntu_Plesk_Install
[22:21] <GaryDarko> well, lol then im not too far off from where i was 3 hours ago :p
[22:22] <MarcoPau> ortsvorsteher: where?
[22:22] <Gorlist> rdw200169: thanks, much appreicated.
[22:22] <rdw200169> Gorlist, gimme a sec, i'm gonna check the PPA's
[22:22] <ortsvorsteher> MarcoPau: i look, have here an german ubuntu
[22:22] <redvamp128> Baatti:  I told ubottu to tell you that because your lines were getting cut off -- ending with "in"
[22:22] <Baatti> ah
[22:22] <MarcoPau> ortsvorsteher: hatte ich gedacht
[22:22] <redvamp128> Baatti:  and I didn't want you to get the flood warning
[22:22] <GaryDarko> But it would be nice to have a graphic card working lol.
[22:22] <Baatti> well, I need help restoring my firefox
[22:22] <rdw200169> Gorlist, dang, nope.  you're gonna have to go with either that link i gave you, or whatever the plesk guys recommend
[22:23] <Baatti> thank you redvamp128
[22:23] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: is this an agp card?
[22:23] <oCean_> Baatti: Is there just one user account on your system?
[22:23] <MarcoPau> ortsvorsteher: anyway everything is pretty much in italian here
[22:23] <ortsvorsteher> MarcoPau: schau doch mal unter system, einstellungen sprachunterstützungen
[22:23] <z-e> I need a help, please
[22:23] <Baatti> oCean_:  yes
[22:23] <rdw200169> Gorlist, regardless, remember that apt-cache is your friend
[22:23] <Gorlist> rdw200169: Great link, I know in theory what todo, just matter of giving it shot
[22:23] <GaryDarko> lol sorry im still new with all of this, agp ??
[22:23] <Slart> GaryDarko: unfortunately not.. I can't really think of anything else to try
[22:23] <Perrete> hi everyone
[22:23] <Gorlist> rdw200169: will keep that in mind
[22:23] <ortsvorsteher> MarcoPau: did you set your keyboard to italian?
[22:23] <redvamp128> !ask | z-e:
[22:23] <GaryDarko> lol, its already Slart.
[22:23] <MarcoPau> ortsvorsteher: yes of course
[22:23] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: agp is the type of slot the card fits into on the motherboard..
[22:23] <z-e> thank you, redvamp128
[22:23] <oCean_> Baatti: ok. A lot of settings regarding firefox is in your homedirectory /home/user/.mozilla
[22:23] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: or is the card built in? laptop or desktop?
[22:24] <Slart> GaryDarko: hopefully someone else in the channel can help you
[22:24] <GaryDarko> Sorry lol, no idea Scunizi :D
[22:24] <z-e> i have installed jnettop
[22:24] <MarcoPau> ortsvorsteher: actually on some programs I don't have any problems with the keyboard. some, instead, don't recognize the combinations
[22:24] <GaryDarko> yah the card is built in and its a desktp.
[22:24] <Baatti> oCean_: ok, what should I be looking for specifically? any ideas?
[22:24] <rdw200169> Gorlist, you can also check packages.ubuntu.com for packages, or ask ubottu using !info, just don't do that here, /msg ubottu for help w/packages...
[22:24] <z-e> and i can see all tcp and udp protocol... you know...
[22:24] <GaryDarko> well i kina doubt it slart, but that you for trying :D
[22:24] <oCean_> Baatti: If you were to rename that directory (like mv .mozilla .saved_mozilla) from a firefox point of view, you would start that browser for the very first time
[22:24] <z-e> What it means ??? >>> UNKNOWNv4 <-> UNKNOWNv4  45b/s    0b/s    45b/s - ARP <IP_ADDRESS> ..........  Thanks.
[22:24] <ortsvorsteher> MarcoPau: hm. sry, so i have no idea... i run on my desktop an cherry keyboard, there i had to figure out some keys with xev
[22:24] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: I've missed much of your previous conversation so bear with me if I duplicate questions.. Have you enabled the restricted drivers?
[22:24] <Jack_Sparrow> GaryDarko have you run nvidia-settings
[22:25] <oCean_> Baatti: no bookmarks, no settings, no plugins or whatsoever
[22:25] <fiftyone> !ccsm
[22:25] <Baatti> oCean_: ok, I'll try starting there, thank you
[22:25] <Perrete> I'm using a Namtai EyeToy as a webcam. After a couple of days trying to install it, I finally got it, but everything I see is pink and green. Any suggestions?
[22:25] <z-e> and it show up when i'm not using internet
[22:25] <ortsvorsteher> !xev
[22:25] <Gorlist> rdw200169: will book mark the site, I normally use Desktop edition of ubuntu in the office, but just imaged my old remote FC4 server
[22:25] <ortsvorsteher> !info xev
[22:25] <GaryDarko> i cant run nvidia settings because i have no driver enabled :D
[22:25] <GaryDarko> and i have ubuntu restricted areas installed.
[22:25] <Slart> !find xev
[22:25] <kurrata> i have some rc .d file in /etc/ witch one has scripts witch load on normal startup?
[22:25] <oCean_> Baatti: I'm not saying that's *the* solution, because your flashcam install might have done 'something' to the firefox installation, I really don't know. Renaming your .mozilla is a way to start
[22:25] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: does anything show up in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers?
[22:26] <z-e> redvamp128?
[22:26] <MarcoPau> ortsvorsteher: ich bedanke mich
[22:26] <Baatti> oCean_: yeah, it'll surely relieve some of the stress of having no access to the web
[22:26] <ortsvorsteher> MarcoPau: have fun :)
[22:26] <redvamp128> z-e:  go ahead and ask
[22:26] <DieterThomasHeck> hi guys! does anyone know how to transfer a vm onto a real machine?
[22:26] <GaryDarko> yes, 3 options that i have enabled 1 by 1 and everytime i enabled one of them and reboot it drops me to a shell and i have to reformat.
[22:26] <MarcoPau> ortsvorsteher: not really
[22:26] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: if responding to me use my nick in the line so I can see you amongst all the other people here.
[22:26] <ortsvorsteher> may in some time ;)
[22:26] <z-e> What does means ??? >>> UNKNOWNv4 <-> UNKNOWNv4  45b/s    0b/s    45b/s - ARP <IP_ADDRESS> ??????
[22:27] <kaz1nsky> dtchen: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f287b1c28e60358d5d2800c114adaa88ebbbfa37
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > GaryDarko
[22:27] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: no need to reformat when it drops you to a shell..
[22:27] <Slart> z-e: what program prints that? where did you find it?
[22:27] <z-e> redvamp128?
[22:27] <z-e> are you there
[22:27] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, well i dont know what to do when it does drop to the shell and ask me to login lol.
[22:27] <z-e> do you know what i'm talking
[22:27] <redvamp128> z-e:  I am reading about jnettop
[22:28] <rdw200169> Gorlist, also, for future reference, ubuntu server specific questions are supposed to be placed in #ubuntu-server
[22:28] <redvamp128> z-e it appears as though once you have set it up-- you can use the Java based GUI
[22:28] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: first thing is to know you can get back here in this channel without a gui.. irssi is your answer there.. try this now.. open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install irssi
[22:28] <Baatti> oCean_: Ok, I've moved the .mozilla directory, and can now start fresh, but any thoughts on how I can restore my previous mozilla status?
[22:29] <Gorlist> rdw200169: do applogise, hadn't relised their was a second channel!
[22:29] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, what does it do ??
[22:29] <redvamp128> z-e:  I have never used that program so I don't know where to start to help you
[22:29] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: it installs an irc client called irssi so you can talk here if you're stuck at a terminal prompt
[22:29] <z-e> forget about this program
[22:29] <z-e> tell me what means
[22:30] <z-e> UNKNOWNv4 <-> UNKNOWNv4  45b/s    0b/s    45b/s - ARP <IP_ADDRESS> ??????
[22:30] <ortsvorsteher> !who | z-e
[22:30] <oCean_> Baatti: well, not completely sure, but you might want to check the directories in your .mozilla_olddir (or whatever you named it) and move them one by one into the newly created .mozilla directory. Fire up the firefox and see if when it breaks.
[22:30] <z-e> whatever...
[22:30] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, ahh its alright lol im done trying to figure this out and im just getting myself mroe confused so im going to give up  :D  but thanks for trying to help me. :D
[22:31] <Ddorda> hey, when ubuntu 8.10 was out there was a problem to use DNS with the nm-applet. is that fixed?
[22:31] <Baatti> oCean_: alright, I'll try that out. Thank you very much
[22:31] <_VIM_> !patience | z-e
[22:31] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: sure you don't want to stick with this for a few.. ?  it'll teach you something that will make it easier..
[22:31] <kaz1nsky> dtchen: did you get the link?
[22:31] <redvamp128> z-e:  don't get upset-- I am actually reading about the program now-- it appears as though you need a .rpm to deb conversion  or compile from source
[22:31] <z-e> _VIM, i haven't brain for patience
[22:32] <oCean_> Baatti: sure, no prob. You may want to be careful with your 'extensions' directory. I know I'd like my bookmarks back, for the rest of it... no worries :)
[22:32] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, my only problem is that ubuntu 8.10 is not letting me use my graphics card lol, and thats all i want to use, but if there is something wrong with my computer or the OS itself then theres not much i can do about it since im not very knowlegable in this.
[22:32] <fiftyone> howdy, i was wondering if anyone knew how to activate the cube in ccsm? i enable "desktop cube" but i get a page flipping effect

[22:34] <z-e> redvam128, do you know what i'm mean
[22:34] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: that's why you're here.. for assistance.. I was where you're at about 3 years ago.. things are different and you have to do things differently.. the 6600 card is a very good card.. I"m just trying to get you to a point that we can try and fix the resolution without having to refomat
[22:34] <redvamp128> z-e:  I don't use the program-- but it appears as though they have a Java front end to change the settings
[22:34] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, fix the resolution ??? sooo when i enable it its messing up the size ????
[22:35] <redvamp128> z-e:  jnettop wiki FrontPage <http://jnettop.kubs.info/wiki/>
[22:35] <fiftyone> baby I be Cubin! wooot wooot!
[22:35] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: or something like that.. most likely you have a "box" monitor and not an LCD .. am I right?
[22:35] <knoppix> Hello everybody, is the bug that the wiki talks about still requires anything "special" to do with 8.10? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Method 3: Copying the ISO CD image to the USB drive
[22:35] <z-e> redvam128, can you find some solutions for ARP and UNKNOWNv4 <-> UNKNOWNv4 ?
[22:35] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, no im using a 17 inch LCD lol.
[22:35] <z-e> redvam128, thanks.
[22:36] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: and is it hooked up with the smaller vga connector or the larger DVI connector?
[22:36] <cam__> when i do ~$ sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sd[cd]1, i get ~$ mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdc1: Device or resource busy
[22:36] <cam__> mdadm: /dev/sdc1 has no superblock - assembly aborted
[22:36] <cam__> what do you think I can do?
[22:36] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, you lost me lol.  :D
[22:36] <fiftyone> its sick how much i love this cube
[22:36] <fiftyone> lol
[22:36] <KenBW2> what harm can it do to edit a file within .purple while Pidgin is running?
[22:36] <zyzo> Can any here help me with a problem regarding the Radeon 4870 Graphic card? i have tried to solve it for 3 months now and nothing seems to work.
[22:36] <Davedan>  I'm trying to create a script that runs after apt-get install is installing or updating a new package. Is it possible?
[22:38] <redvamp128> z-e:  all I could find is some people chatting about network traffic issues --  http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/06mar/minutes/16ng.txt
[22:38] <angelixd> i have a conundrum regarding bash on ubuntu.  I set GIT_EDITOR="emacs -nw" in ~/.bash_aliases, did source ~/.bashrc, then tried to a commit, but it's still using nano.  echo $GIT_EDITOR still spits back 'emacs -nw', but printenv | grep GIT turns up nothing.  does anyone have any clue?
[22:38] <fiftyone> Slart how do you change the cap and dome?
[22:38] <z-e> redvamp128, i appreciate for your help,...
[22:38] <Slart> fiftyone: ask in #compiz-fusion, that's where the bling bling people hang out
[22:38] <redvamp128> z-e:  seems as if too many people try to view cams-- the connection is overrun
[22:39] <Slart> fiftyone: I have no idea myself... I don't even have the cube enabled any more
[22:39] <fiftyone> Slart lol i'm not a bling bling guy im just a cuber :D
[22:39] <fiftyone> lol
[22:39] <oCean_> KenBW2: well, if pidgin has the file open (e.g. in use) then your changes *might* be lost as soon as pidgin updates that file
[22:39] <prince_jammys> angelixd: export GIT_EDITOR="foo bar"
[22:39] <Slart> fiftyone: I'm pretty sure you'll find some cuber-friends in that channel too =)
[22:39] <z-e> redvamp128, i don't understand you
[22:39] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: the plug that goes from the monitor to the computer.. there's one that is pretty much shaped like a rectangle and about 2x the size of the other which looks like an old RS-232 connector of sorts.

[22:40] <kansan> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[22:40] <kansan> how do i recover?
[22:40] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, well its not too big but its while and rectagalish lol.
[22:40] <redvamp128> z-e:  I don't know where to start-- but that page with the chat log works for you or not but does reference the two issues you described above
[22:40] <prince_jammys> kansan: do you have any package managers (apt-get, aptitude, adept, synaptic, etc..) open?
[22:41] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, White, sorry *
[22:41] <ddrj> hi everyone, i'm using VI to edit a txt file, what's the command to delete an entire line ? (instead of having to backspace the entire thing?)
[22:41] <prince_jammys> ddrj: dd
[22:41] <ddrj> thanks prince_jammys :D
[22:41] <z-e> redvamp128, are you talking about UNKNOWNv4 <-> UNKNOWNv4  - ARP - <IP_ADDRESS> ??????
[22:41] <prince_jammys> ddrj: colon first, of course
[22:41] <redvamp128> z-e:  yes
[22:41] <Caesi> !desklet/bye
[22:41] <prince_jammys> ddrj: err, scrap that
[22:42] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: well.. I'll say that the problem is most likely that your monitor isn't telling the card its native resolution and frequency .. I can have ubottu give you a link that might help you out.. something else to try.. if you want.
[22:42] <Guest60029> hi i'am new my name is mike
[22:42] <pietro_> ciaoa  tutti

[22:42] <ddrj> thanks :D
[22:42] <z-e> redvamp128, they are talking about something different...
[22:43] <kansan> is there a way i can configure mysql server from the command line?  i am scripting its installation so i cant be there to use dpkg ui
[22:43] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, but if that were the problem after i enable the graphics driver wouldnt i just resize the resolution myself ? and the nreboot ??
[22:43] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: no.. it wouldn't know how
[22:43] <pietro_> ciao
[22:43] <Guest60029> ddr how do you like linux
[22:43] <pietro_> ciao
[22:43] <corey__> I'm sure most are familiar with the dnsmasq technique to cache dns requests locally. I have not been successful in configuring this to work with a wireless device. Can someone offer some insight on what could be the issue? Seems it doesn't respond to wlan0 (but works great with eth0)
[22:43] <ortsvorsteher> pietro_: have fun
[22:44] <marcel> i have a HP DEskjet F4180 printer, how can i print a text file with lpr command ?
[22:44] <z-e> redvamp128, they are used similar words about different things... so, thanks again...
[22:44] <GaryDarko> Scunizi, well im tierd and ive been online trying to figure out my problem for about 4 or 5 hours now lol so im tierd and im just giving up :D thanks though, goodbye.
[22:44] <corey__> My AP is a little far away and I'm connected at 1Mb/s. This is causing dns resolving to be painfully slow. What are my options?
[22:44] <BCampbell> Scunizi, GaryDarko  sorry for coming in to the middle of the conversation is the problem with a 6600GT card?
[22:44] <Scunizi> GaryDarko: with the driver installed and a reboot done.. if the monitor reports what it can do then all is well and works.. otherwise you get a black screen or a terminal prompt..  .good luck
[22:44] <gordonjcp> corey__: fix your network
[22:45] <KenBW2> anyone here use Dropbox?
[22:45] <Scunizi> BCampbell: yes.. not sure if it's agp or pci ,, ad in or built in
[22:45] <ortsvorsteher> !anyone | KenBW2
[22:45] <rdw200169> corey__, you could do something crazy and set up a repeater bridge w/ a second wireless router using dd-wrt firmware...
[22:45] <KenBW2> ortsvorsteher: good point
[22:45] <Slart> corey__: it sounds weird that wireless wouldn't use the dns cache
[22:45] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[22:45] <Scunizi> BCampbell: it's GaryDarko's but looks like he's left the room.
[22:45] <Sylphid> corey__, move the ap... add a wireless repeater, stronger wireless adapter
[22:45] <BCampbell> Scunizi, ok, i've got the same card, thought I might be able to help..but see he's gone
[22:45] <corey__> gordonjcp, my network works great. what are you referring towards?
[22:45] <EagleScreen>  how can I save a picture in two colours format (black and white, not gray scale)?
[22:46] <Scunizi> BCampbell: yea.. I have one on the shelf too.. agp.. like it but new motherboard doesn't take agp
[22:46] <racecar56> my usb flash drive isnt working
[22:46] <gordonjcp> corey__: well, if your network is that slow that it's causing DNS problems, you should concentrate on that
[22:46] <racecar56> whats the problem?
[22:46] <Slart> corey__: have you tried any other dns caching system? I think there are a couple of them
[22:46] <racecar56> sometimes it works sometimes it dosent
[22:46] <corey__> Sylphid, sure money is the answer to all problems, but there should be a fix applied to dnsmasq to work with wireless devices.
[22:46] <Slart> gordonjcp: 1 Mb/s is slow? so linux can't be used on dial up?
[22:46] <racecar56> my usb flash drive isnt working, it works sometimes but it isnt working now, what do i do?
[22:47] <Sylphid> corey__, its not a matter of bandwidth its a matter of latency
[22:47] <gordonjcp> Slart: no, but if his wifi connection has dropped down to that speed that's symptomatic of other problems
[22:47] <corey__> gordonjcp, active downloads are over 300Kb/s on the wireless connection, but most of the time is spent resolving the address. So I'd like to think my network is NOT br0ken.
[22:47] <racecar56> my usb flash drive isnt working, it works sometimes but it isnt working now, what do i do?
[22:47] <gordonjcp> corey__: hmm, okay, so it's taking forever to resolve IP addresses?
[22:47] <Seldaek> heya, what's the common way of installing missing modules for php5 through aptitude on ubuntu server?
[22:48] <z-e> Do any know how protect Ubuntu 8.10 from ARP poison?
[22:48] <rdw200169> corey__, yeah, but do you know if there are any packet errors over the wireless link?
[22:48] <Sylphid> corey__, is your dns server set to your routers ip?
[22:48] <gordonjcp> corey__: you could try using "dig @<DNS SERVER> <hostname>" to test your local DNS server
[22:48] <corey__> Sylphid, yes.. it's the wireless latency that is causing the dns requests to drop and fail.
[22:48] <racecar56> my usb flash drive isnt working, it works sometimes but it isnt working now, what do i do?
[22:48] <marcel> i have a HP DEskjet F4180 printer, how can i print a text file with lpr command ?
[22:48] <gordonjcp> corey__: it's possible that your ISPs DNS is knackered and isn't responding properly
[22:48] <Slart> corey__: how long does a simple "host www.google.com" take?
[22:49] <KenBW2> how would i go about syncing the .purple folder between folders using Dropbox?
[22:49] <Slart> corey__: have you tried using opendns servers?
[22:49] <corey__> Sylphid, I've configured my dns to that of OpenDNS. all tests work fine except for the > ~200ms resolve time each request.
[22:49] <Sylphid> corey__, you could try a home made reflector to put on your ap's antenna although its likely the signal issue is on the adapters end
[22:49] <prince_jammys> marcel: i assume you tried 'lpr filename' and it didn't print
[22:49] <marcel> yes
[22:49] <marcel> didn't print
[22:50] <Sylphid> corey__, 200ms isnt great but its not horrible
[22:50] <marcel> i must to specify something, but i don't know what
[22:50] <corey__> Sylphid, unfortunately I could not try that idea since I'm out of foil right now.
[22:50] <ortsvorsteher> !who | marcel
[22:50] <skybound> Davedan: good question, "apt-config dump" contains a dpkg post-invoke hook (see: man apt.conf); you still would have to figure out if packages were installed, upgraded or removed though... so, maybe. with a little bash magic?
[22:51] <marcel> ubottu: Ok
[22:51] <fiftyone> howdy, i was wondering if anyone knew how to do a backup of all my files and settings? So that if something should ever happen and i destroy my machine i can install fresh and import my settings and files?
[22:51] <KenBW2> fiftyone: copy your home folder
[22:51] <ortsvorsteher> !backup | fiftyone
[22:52] <Sylphid> corey__, your sure that its dns that slowing things down correct?
[22:52] <prince_jammys> marcel: try following directions at : http://localhost:631/help
[22:52] <nellmathew> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1059223 - anyone? broadcom wifi issue, tried all the howtos/methods i could find, more details in the post..
[22:52] <corey__> Sylphid, positive. media is very responsive once it gets kicked into gear.
[22:52] <marcel> prince_james: thank you
[22:52] <Schuenemann> hey, I need help here. I accidentaly ran sudo chmod -R 664 $HOME and now I can't do anything. I can't even cd to my $HOME
[22:53] <ortsvorsteher> Schuenemann: you forgot to set execute rights on your home
[22:53] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: make your home dir 755 for starters (non-recursive)
[22:53] <Imaginativeone> how do I get php scripts to run in apache?
[22:54] <Schuenemann> ortsvorsteher, Do I need execute to cd?
[22:54] <ortsvorsteher> Schuenemann: try to boot in recovery mode and set execute rights on your home
[22:54] <Schuenemann> ok, I did it
[22:54] <Schuenemann> I can access it now
[22:54] <Schuenemann> should I do it -R?
[22:55] <oCean_> Imaginativeone: enable php module
[22:55] <ortsvorsteher> Schuenemann: yes, for cd is execute rights needed
[22:55] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: after what you've already done, i'd say yes
[22:55] <Sylphid> corey__, whats in /etc/resolv.conf
[22:55] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: at least the directories
[22:55] <ortsvorsteher> Schuenemann: if you would like to set recursively your home to execute rights, you can use -R
[22:55] <Scunizi> Is there a program to put photo's together into a slide show.. maybe incorporate sound and possibly video clips??
[22:56] <fiftyone> I compiled a really great newbie linux guide in tomboy notes its realy cool because whatever you need it's right there on your desktop ( command line and stuff) i made it for myself but i think alot of people coud benifet from it, is there a way to export it from tomboy i see here only export as html
[22:56] <corey__> Sylphid, a list of my name servers. starting with localhost followed by the two opendns address and lastly my router's
[22:56] <nOStahl> hey all anyone know of a linux face recognition login project?
[22:56] <Slart> Scunizi: a simple slideshow can be created in a pdf.. with video it gets harder.. perhaps something in flash?
[22:56] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: this will change only the directories: find "$HOME" -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
[22:56] <z-e> Do any know how be able to protect Ubuntu 8.10 from ARP poison?
[22:56] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys, I already did to everything. Seems ok now
[22:56] <Schuenemann> Thanks
[22:57] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: now all your files are executable
[22:57] <Schuenemann> sigh...
[22:57] <Scunizi> Slart: yea.. I"ve thought of that.. but ultimately I'd like to burn to a dvd for relatives
[22:57] <Schuenemann> is it undoable?
[22:57] <IIN_B> hi everyone ~ good morning
[22:57] <Slart> Scunizi: picasa makes that pretty painless.. don't think you'll get videos though
[22:57] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: no. you can go through the files you don't want to be executable and make them 644
[22:57] <zleap> that reminds me i need to check out picassa
[22:58] <nOStahl> hey all anyone know of a linux face recognition login project?
[22:58] <Sylphid> corey__, if you do an nslookup which server responds to the request... more specifically is the first server in /etc/resolve.conf the one that responds
[22:58] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys, maybe I should set everything back to 664 and then 755 to directories?
[22:58] <Scunizi> Slart: true.. so does imagemagick.. it's the video part that's tricky.. Windows Movie maker does it and will output to mpeg or avi but I don't want to go there.
[22:58] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: that would have the same effect, yes
[22:58] <racecar56> my usb flash drive isnt working, it works sometimes but it isnt working now, what do i do?
[22:58] <ortsvorsteher> !details | racecar56
[22:58] <racecar56> ok
[22:58] <cafree> Does anyone know of any packages in Ubuntu that serve as a sort of "web proxy?"
[22:59] <racecar56> this is what i get:
[22:59] <zleap> squid
[22:59] <zleap> thats a proxy package thats pretty standard on GNU/Linux
[22:59] <corey__> Sylphid, good hint. I see that opendns responds first.
[22:59] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys, that command you told me will do it for directories?
[22:59] <Scunizi> racecar56: if it's a lot use pastebin
[22:59] <skybound> Scunizi: "mencoder" can create videos from images and/or other videos; and you can add audio as well, takes a bit of reading and experimenting
[22:59] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: yes
[23:00] <Scunizi> skybound: is there a gui front end for it?
[23:00] <cafree> zleap: thanks but I'm not looking for a true proxy, but something I can go to through my proxy to access sites I couldn't normally access.  Something to "mirror" the site on a request basis
[23:00] <racecar56> my flash drive... when i plug it in it just dosen't do anything. i'm on ubuntu 8.10 and i get this on dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113333/ but i expected it to work as in be mount-able.
[23:00] <zleap> ah so a cache proxy thingy
[23:00] <racecar56> thats good?
[23:00] <Sylphid> corey__, if you move the computer closer to the AP does it work better?
[23:00] <cafree> zleap: I guess, I'm really not sure what you call that sorta thing
[23:00] <Slart> cafree: ah.. something like a.. local mirror creator thingy
[23:00] <zleap> nor me
[23:00] <ortsvorsteher> really better racecar56 :)

[23:01] <corey__> Sylphid, I am unable to try that, since what is between my router and my desktop is terrain
[23:01] <Crshman> the xserver says that it failed to load the kernel module, I've tried to reinstall nvidia-glx-180 with no avail
[23:01] <Crshman> any ideas?
[23:01] <genii> nOStahl: Perhaps check out  http://groups.google.com/group/linux-biometrics/browse_thread/thread/55dd4428f1ddf80b
[23:01] <cafree> Slart: ok.  I could probably write my own, but I'm sure I'm not the first guy to want this
[23:02] <skybound> Scunizi: seems so, but i never used any of them: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/projects.html
[23:02] <kerm|t> the output of crontab's dont go anywhere and my logs arefull of: My unqualified host name (localhost) unknown;
[23:02] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys, things are messed. I see a lot of ??? instead of information if I do a ls -la $HOME
[23:02] <Sylphid> corey__, try bypassing dns and open a site by ip to see if you have the same problem
[23:02] <Scunizi> skybound: thanks I'll look at them
[23:03] <Davedan> what is the root mail in ubuntu?
[23:03] <ortsvorsteher> !pm | racecar56
[23:03] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys, chmod only lasts for the terminal session?
[23:03] <ortsvorsteher> racecar56: no, i dont use flash drive, so i have no idea yet.
[23:03] <racecar56> ok

[23:04] <SudoKing> hi guys it appears my resolution got knocked out of place after rebooting my computer.  How can I reset it back to default 1024x678?
[23:04] <dxdt> If I want a package to reinstall AND put back its original .conf files, how can I do that with aptitude or apt-get?
[23:04] <bouncing> Somehow I installed ubuntu to think I want the uk-english dictionary. How can I change it to us-english?
[23:04] <bouncing> or maybe it's just firefox
[23:04] <racecar56> my flash drive... when i plug it in it just dosen't do anything. i'm on ubuntu 8.10 and i get this on dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113333/ but i expected it to work as in be mount-able.
[23:05] <dxdt> If I want to reinstall a package, AND have it actually reput its default conf files, how can I tell apt to do this?
[23:05] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: no, chmod is permanent
[23:05] <dxdt> or aptitude
[23:05] <racecar56> synaptic
[23:06] <EmperorVelo> Hey guys. I was wondering, which torrent client would you recommend for hardy heron?
[23:06] <racecar56> i like transmission
[23:06] <erUSUL> EmperorVelo: deluge
[23:06] <Slartan> deluge ftw
[23:06] <racecar56> getdeb.net has debs
[23:06] <marcel> prince_jammys: i found the answer with lpr filename ...
[23:06] <racecar56> i dont usually fool with torrents
[23:06] <mrwes> dxdt, you can completely remove the package from synaptic manager, which will remove config files, then reinstall
[23:06] <Rencx> how i can mount HDD if i dont have windows?
[23:06] <mrwes> +1 Deluge
[23:06] <prince_jammys> marcel: cool. i hope the help file was useful
[23:06] <racecar56> but if i do i have a hardy heron virtual machine
[23:06] <dxdt> mrwes: not an option, Xorg isn't installd
[23:06] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: so what's going on?
[23:07] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys, I'm at $HOME. I do chmod 644 -R .  -- I get "cannot access '.' : permission denied
[23:07] <marcel> prince_jammys: i must to conect the second printer printer on serial port...
[23:07] <oCean_> racecar56: It may be mountable, however the output in dmesg is not very hopeful. Does "fdisk -l /dev/sdg" list the partition(s) on the drive?
[23:07] <marcel> prince_jammys: and now lpr filename .... works fine
[23:07] <EmperorVelo> Does deluge support RSS?
[23:08] <marcel> prince_jammys: the printer must to be connected on serial port / parallel port don't work
[23:08] <Rencx> when i want mount my ntfs external hard disk it drops error and say that i need connect it to windows
[23:08] <Slart> oh man.. now I have to find out how to make irssi highligh Slart but not Slartan..go go gadget man page
[23:08] <racecar56> the /dev thing never even exists
[23:08] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: get out of your home, and 'ls -ld /home/youruser'
[23:08] <racecar56> it kills it
[23:08] <Scunizi> skybound: http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php?do=features
[23:08] <IIN_B> haha get out your home..
[23:08] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: wjat
[23:08] <IIN_B> =)
[23:08] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: what's the output of that?
[23:09] <oCean_> racecar56: this "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" ... same behaviour on other OS ?
[23:09] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys, let me join IRC with that computer so I can paste it here. breb
[23:09] <Cpudan80> Dont paste here!
[23:10] <prince_jammys> it's only one line
[23:10] <Schuenemann> ? it's just a line
[23:10] <Cpudan80> oh
[23:10] <Cpudan80> ok then ;-)
[23:10] <oCean_> racecar56: it could be hardware problem.. with the flashdrive
[23:10] <Rencx> how i can mount HDD if i dont have windows?
[23:10] <Schuenemann> argh... how can I copy from xterm?
[23:10] <mrwes> dxdt: sudo dpkg -P package_name
[23:10] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: who owns it, and what are the permissions?
[23:11] <EmperorVelo> Does deluge support RSS feeds?
[23:11] <Slartan> Slart: sorry :) regex maybe?
[23:11] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: select it and middle click in the irc client
[23:11] <Rencx> when i want mount my ntfs external hard disk it drops error and say that i need connect it to windows
[23:11] <Slart> Slartan: yup.. I'm sure there is a way =)
[23:12] <Schu> prince_jammys,   drwxr-xr-x 50 otto otto 4096 2009-02-03 19:58 /home/otto
[23:12] <oCean_> Schuenemann: "xsel" can do that... it's sweet
[23:12] <skybound> Scunizi: looks impressive, probably meant mostly for video editing; i used mencoder really just to make a movie of a lot of png images and add a bit of music. that worked fine on the command line; thanks for pointing anyway
[23:12] <mrwes> EmperorVelo, yes..there is an RSS plugin
[23:12] <prince_jammys> Schu: ok, that's good
[23:12] <Gorlist> whats the command to list partitions and sizes? df -h ?
[23:12] <marcelh> Hi! Does anyone know, when sun's java 1.6.0_12 will be integrated for ubuntu 64bit?
[23:12] <racecar56> @oCean_, it dosen't work on other OS
[23:13] <racecar56> i even tried plugging it in a windows (not that i knew how to use it) and it didnt do anything
[23:13] <kaz1nsky> can someone help me out with pulseaudio? can't get the sound server to run
[23:13] <oCean_> racecar56: but you expect it to work in good ol' linux?
[23:13] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: now do what you were going to do (supercareful) from OUTSIDE the directory
[23:13] <Bsims> I am looking for a semi-translucent weather plasmoid for kde 4.2 any ideas?
[23:13] <oCean_> racecar56: I think the device is kaputt :/
[23:13] <Gorlist> ignore, I was still in lftp :)
[23:13] <Schuenemann-> prince_jammys, you mean chmod -R 664 /home/otto
[23:14] <corey__> Sylphid, I gave up hope with dnsmasq and configured dnscache. works great!!
[23:14] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann-: what's the current status of things in your dir?
[23:14] <robf> is anyone familiar with the mildly retarded and unintuitive "update-grub" utility?
[23:14] <Schuenemann-> prince_jammys, what exacly?
[23:14] <Rencx> when i want mount my ntfs external hard disk it drops error and say that i need connect it to windows. how can i mount it in Ubuntu?
[23:14] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: the permissions
[23:15] <nickrud_> robf, moderately
[23:15] <Joker_-_> Can anyone help me out configuring my Xorg.conf... I seriously read everything I could find on google, tryed everything, every damn drivers I could find, I just can't set this thing up correctly. (ATI 8500LE, tv-out ONLY - No vga or DVI)
[23:15] <robf> Rencx: whats the exact error ,  paraphrasing sometimes make thing seem odd
[23:15] <robf> nickrud_: ok,  I want NO altoptions.   if I remove it,  it just adds it back,  if i leave it with the altoptions=  blank  I just have two kernel entries
[23:15] <racecar56> oh noes
[23:15] <robf> I want just 1 entry,  nothing else,  a single solitary entry
[23:15] <racecar56> too bad its dead
[23:15] <Rencx> robf: of wrong disconected hdd
[23:15] <racecar56> if it is then thats bad cause its 4G
[23:16] <racecar56> at least i dont have data on it
[23:16] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  http://pastebin.com/m6f5bdeb3 there
[23:16] <binarymutant> anyone know if ISOs are built daily, weekly, monthly, or just once?
[23:16] <robf> Rencx: hrm...
[23:16] <robf> so any idea nickrud_ ?
[23:16] <nickrud_> Robf you're trying to not have alternative (recovery) versions?
[23:16] <zacktu> it looks as if /etc/network/interfaces lost entries for wireless -- network manager still shows all the right stuff -- how can i get NM to write everything back to the interfaces file?
[23:16] <robf> yes
[23:16] <robf> if I want sinle user mode
[23:17] <robf> I'll boot vby hand from grub with single
[23:17] <marcelh> Does anyone know, when sun's java 1.6.0_12 will be integrated for ubuntu 64bit?
[23:17] <gbear14275> I have been getting hangups in my gui for a few days now and I think i may have just found the problem... has anyone seen this before?:
[23:17] <gbear14275> [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[23:17] <gbear14275> [mi] mieqenequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.
[23:17] <robf> other people who are mildly retarded use this box
[23:17] <nickrud_> robf, that's the #alternative=true/false option iirc
[23:17] <robf> so I don't want things that they can select that needn't
[23:17] <Rencx> robf: Unable to mount the volume
[23:17] <robf> nickrud_: oh heh... still how unintutive...
[23:17] <Joker_-_> Can anyone help me out configuring my Xorg.conf... I seriously read everything I could find on google, tryed everything, every damn drivers I could find, I just can't set this thing up correctly. (ATI 8500LE, tv-out ONLY - No vga or DVI) : http://pastebin.com/f1e4aca9b
[23:17] <robf> Rencx:  do me this
[23:17] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: ok, so everything is 755
[23:17] <nickrud_> robf, you can also lock the alternatives, or password protect
[23:17] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: this is probably going to be fine.
[23:18] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  ok, I'll try
[23:18] <robf> Rencx:  run all the commands you're doing and copy paste both what you typed and the output so I can get ag rasp of the issue here
[23:18] <Schuenemann> chmod 644 -R /home/otto
[23:18] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: don't run any commands
[23:18] <robf> nickrud_: yeah I know,  i just don't like clutter...
[23:18] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: no
[23:18] <Schuenemann> ok
[23:18] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: don't do that
[23:18] <robf> nickrud_: got enough IRL clutter,  don't need it on my box
[23:18] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  but everything is executable
[23:18] <nickrud_> robf, I have to scroll though all my options :)
[23:18] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: all it means is that your common text files, etc. are all marked executable
[23:18] <robf> nickrud_: sort of a minimalist gentoo user here... so trying to at least keep some sanity in the world of ubuntul ;)
[23:18] <Rencx> robf: i dont use any commands i just plug in USB
[23:19] <robf> Rencx: eh.
[23:19] <robf> Rencx: try mounting it by hand
[23:19] <robf> if its usb its prolly fat16 / fat32 one or the othr
[23:19] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: this will make all regular files non-executable: find "$HOME" -type f -exec chmod -x {} \;
[23:19] <Rencx> robf: it is NTFS but removed without safely remove
[23:19] <dixonionthedemon> aight...
[23:19] <robf> mouth Rencx oh ok
[23:19] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: you need directories to be executable in order to access their contents
[23:19] <robf> oops
[23:20] <robf> Rencx: its flagged bad
[23:20] <robf> Rencx: needs a windows disk check or whatever
[23:20] <robf> like you powered down without unkmounting in windows
[23:20] <robf> try forcing it?
[23:20] <Bsims> robf: fsck will do windows checking
[23:20] <oCean_> Rencx: robf a forced mount "mount -f" will do
[23:20] <nickrud_> Joker_-_, you should probably add a link to the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log on a pastebin somewhere, of the failed startup. Usually some useful info there
[23:20] <robf> Bsims: oh it will huh... nice
[23:20] <Bsims> robf: so long as its not ntfs yeah
[23:20] <robf> Bsims: its ntfs he said
[23:20] <harley> How do I configure Amarok to be like rythmbox and just have one big list of songs instead of a tree?
[23:21] <Joker_-_> nickrud_: it startups fine, It just doesnt shoot the damn screen on the TV
[23:21] <robf> Bsims: though ntfs on a usb key is odd imho
[23:21] <Joker_-_> nickrud_: If I had an error, I could troubleshoot...
[23:21] <robf> Bsims: its safe to force a mount anyhow
[23:21] <Bsims> robf: depends on the size of the drive...
[23:21] <robf> Bsims: ah
[23:21] <Bsims> robf: yeah its safe
[23:21] <nickrud_> heh Joker_-_ a point there ;)
[23:21] <oCean_> Rencx: robf .. mount -f will do, really.
[23:21] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  it's over
[23:21] <dixonionthedemon> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing
[23:21] <robf> oCean_: I know.
[23:21] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: as in ... ok?
[23:21] <Joker_-_> nickrud_: I hate ATI.
[23:21] <robf> oCean_: thats what I told him to do?
[23:21] <oCean_> Rencx: do you know the devicename? See "dmesg" output
[23:22] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  no, as in the command finished heh. No output. How to check if it's ok?
[23:22] <oCean_> robf: i see (now)..
[23:22] <binarymutant> anyone know if the official Ubuntu ISOs are built daily, weekly, monthly, or just once?
[23:22] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: see if you can access files and directories normally
[23:22] <nightrid3r> binarymutant: once
[23:22] <robf> oCean_: :p
[23:22] <nickrud_> binarydigit, each time there's a release (8.04, 8.04.1, etc)
[23:22] <binarymutant> nightrid3r, thanks :)
[23:22] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  I think it's ok. I can access dirs and regular files aren't executable
[23:22] <robf> is 8.10 even safe to use
[23:22] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  thank you very much
[23:22] <robf> Irritating Ibis or whatever
[23:22] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: now you know: 'chmod -R' can be VERY destructive
[23:23] <_moro_bana_> is there any menu for screenn brightness, the hotkeys dont work, guesss they work for windows only?
[23:23] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  yeah, anything -R can, I guess
[23:23] <_VIM_> 'irriating ibis' lolz
[23:23] <nickrud_> too many binary's in this channel
[23:23] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: true
[23:23] <_VIM_> 8.04 ftw~!
[23:23] <_moro_bana_> !chmod
[23:23] <robf> nickrud_: too many binaries?
[23:23] <nickrud_> robf, nick in this case
[23:23] <kc8pxy> i've been fighting to get apporx to work on a non-debian-based distro, and vaulted every hurdle, so far, but I'm stuck on the following error message..
[23:23] <robf> have you mastered chmod?

[23:24] <robf> http://fukung.net/v/614/i_know_chmod.jpg
[23:24] <kc8pxy> how do i fix/fake my way past that?
[23:24] <robf> relevant and on topic
[23:24] <robf> he knows CHMOD
[23:24] <robf> word?
[23:24] <robf> anyhow
[23:24] <oCean_> Rencx: pls do "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" to list partitions on that drive
[23:24] <binarymutant> robf, lol nice pic but offtopic
[23:24] <nickrud_> rflol
[23:24] <dixonionthedemon> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing
[23:25] <robf> binarymutant: is not off topic look...  < _moro_bana_> !chmod
[23:25] <robf> I was saying (on topic)  one could hire this man who's resume(cv)  this is
[23:25] <oCean_> robf: ghehe.. chmod
[23:25] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  now I'm back at the original problem: not being able to start gnome normally :D
[23:25] <Rencx> oCean_: cant open /dev/sdb
[23:25] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: what's the problem?
[23:25] <robf> oCean_: shouldn't he fsck  /dev/sdb1
[23:25] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  I described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6653770
[23:25] <oCean_> Rencx: sudo
[23:25] <Rencx> oCean_: fdisk -l /dev/sd
[23:26] <oCean_> Rencx: start command with sudo
[23:26] <gaelfx> I'm using an MSI Wind U120 and the wireless never connects faster than 1 mbps, it's using ath9k driver. How do I get a faster connection? (I know it's not the router that's at fault)
[23:26] <MarkusT> Can someone shed some light on this: Why is there a 0.3.6 packagekit source package and a 0.3.13 binary package in Jaunty? It seems source was build successfully, why isn't it in the repositories?
[23:26] <binarymutant> robf, I don't think resume skills == ubuntu support, but I guess I'm wrong
[23:26] <MarkusT> See: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/0.3.6-0ubuntu5
[23:26] <Rencx> oCean_: sory... i see now    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[23:26] <Rencx> /dev/sdb1               1      121601   976760001    7  HPFS/NTFS
[23:26] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: this normally has to do with the .ICEauthority file in your homedir
[23:27] <gaelfx> !pastebin | Rencx
[23:27] <oCean_> Rencx: great. Now try this: "mount -f -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
[23:27] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  it was, once. I deleted and it went fine, but then it started again and didn't solve anymore. This idea of sharing /home partition was really bad
[23:27] <dixonionthedemon> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing
[23:27] <oCean_> robf: trying the forced mount.. not fsck
[23:27] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: make sure it's owned by you, and chmod 600 ~/.ICEauthority
[23:27] <robf> binarymutant: yeah i know.  but I often stray from topic as to not go insane from countless hours of helping mugs in ##linux and #gentoo :p
[23:27] <robf> oCean_: either way,  needs to be /sdb1 not sdb,  can mount a whole drive =s
[23:27] <robf> can't
[23:27] <binarymutant> robf, I know the feeling
[23:27] <oCean_> robf: arg, yes
[23:28] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: you may even move it to somewhere else (as backup) and i think it will be recreated
[23:28] <gaelfx> dixonionthedemon: how are you getting a video feed? I mean what software are you using?
[23:28] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  -rw------- 1 otto otto 7963 2009-02-03 19:58 .ICEauthority   it's like this now
[23:28] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: that's good
[23:28] <dixonionthedemon> idk
[23:28] <Joker_-_> xorg detects DVI and VGA but not TV-OUT (S-Video) despite whatever I write in my config file... Please for god's sake someone save a guy from suicide.
[23:28] <oCean_> robf: ow, but I used the /dev/sdb1 in the mount example :) .. in the fdisk -l the partion number is not necessary
[23:29] <BassKozz> in a bash script, what's the difference between using ">" or ">>" to output ?
[23:29] <Rencx> oCean_: ntfs-3g: Unknown option '-f'.
[23:29] <robf> oCean_: fdisk or fsck
[23:29] <Droopsta915> Anyone get the ypop repository gpg key. I cant find it anywhere.?.
[23:29] <robf> big diff ;)
[23:29] <robf> I dunno what he's doing now

[23:29] <dixonionthedemon> using skype
[23:29] <dixonionthedemon> the camera lights up
[23:29] <dixonionthedemon> i get a green screen
[23:29] <fixnum> hello. I can't find apache's htdocs folder. where does ubuntu install that folder
[23:29] <dixonionthedemon> and static
[23:29] <fixnum> oh, it's /var/www
[23:30] <gaelfx> !enter | dixonionthedemon
[23:30] <fixnum> i meant, I can't find the configuration files
[23:30] <robf> anyonw?
[23:30] <robf> anyone?*
[23:30] <genii> fixnum: /etc/apache2   dir
[23:30] <robf> how can I upgrade to 8.10 without causing complete fail
[23:30] <oCean_> Rencx: ok.. maybe the -f flag should be at end of command
[23:30] <slacker_nl> BassKozz: > is create/overwrite the file, >> is append to file
[23:31] <gianca> hallo
[23:31] <gaelfx> Sylphid: thanks man
[23:31] <fixnum> thanks genii
[23:31] <BassKozz> slacker_nl: Thanks :-D
[23:31] <robf> oCean_: are you trying to fsck or fdisk
[23:31] <oCean_> robf: atm mount
[23:31] <robf> oCean_: oh ok...
[23:31] <robf> oCean_: ya said fdisk and scared me
[23:31] <Wunderbar> hey guys, just install kubuntu
[23:31] <oCean_> robf: we did the fdisk -l before
[23:31] <robf> oh
[23:31] <robf> -l
[23:31] <robf> ok
[23:31] <Wunderbar> enjoying the experience so far
[23:31] <oCean_> robf: fdisk -l is nothing to be scared of
[23:31] <slacker_nl> BassKozz: although >> will also create the file if it doesn't exists
[23:31] <Droopsta915> I'm trying to get my yahoo account working with Evolution, what can I do to get it to work?
[23:31] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  the idea of sharing home dir was suggested by slackware installation. It seems it sucks, though
[23:31] <robf> oCean_: i didn't see the -l
[23:31] <Rencx> oCean_:  still dont work
[23:31] <Wunderbar> but how would I get the sound working?
[23:32] <Wunderbar> sounds simple I knwi
[23:32] <Wunderbar> know, even
[23:32] <Wunderbar> but I'm not too bright
[23:32] <oCean_> Rencx: moment.. i have to scrollback :)
[23:32] <robf> oCean_: I thought you confused fdisk with fsck for some reason and was like woah
[23:32] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: you should be able to get it to work. i see you changed your UID and GID
[23:33] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: are you able to sudo normally now?
[23:33] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  yeah, it made it work at that time. But then it happened again
[23:33] <brianwillis1984> hey everyone could i get some help with ubuntu server...i have no desktop enviroment
[23:33] <robf> Wunderbar: its ok not being bright,  many special needs students use kubuntu
[23:33] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  yes. Everything looks fine, except that first login option does not work
[23:33] <BassKozz> slacker_nl: Roger that, I've been using ">>" solely but now I know the difference... Thanks again for helping out ;-)
[23:33] <nightrid3r> Wunderbar: tell use what your soundcard is an what it does/doesn't and maybe we can help you
[23:33] <robf> Wunderbar: but sound usually works out of the box....  what kinda sound device ya got?
[23:33] <slacker_nl> BassKozz: np
[23:34] <Wunderbar> whatever sound card is usually provided with a thinkpad t61
[23:34] <robf> has anyone upgraded from hardy heron to ignorant ibis and not failed completely?
[23:34] <robf> Wunderbar: laptop?   hrm  no clue
[23:34] <robf> =\
[23:34]  * brianwillis1984 wants to know if anyone knows much about ubuntu server
[23:34] <Wunderbar> ok, this is odd
[23:34] <ZmAY> hello, can somebody help me with pango error.. :  Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_covers: assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed
[23:34] <Wunderbar> sound with amarok works fine
[23:34] <nightrid3r> Wunderbar: lspci in a terminal will list your card
[23:34] <Wunderbar> but when I try and use audacious thats when I have problems
[23:35] <robf> brianwillis1984: what about it?
[23:35] <Wunderbar> same with smplayer
[23:35] <robf> Wunderbar: hrm.   you telling them to use the right mixer?

[23:35] <lock> brian: install gnome
[23:35] <oCean_> Rencx: first, run the command without the -f I think it should come up with the error about not cleanly unmounted, but not sure
[23:35] <dixon2008> oiy... if anyone knows how to get the logitech quickcam messenger to work plz pm me
[23:35] <brianwillis1984> lock: how and where new to ubuntu and servers all together
