[16:14] <AndrewMohawk> says "starting up blegh beglh" and as soon as the postinst ends (i manually add a 2min delay with sleep 120) i get "pause" "stop" "destroy" in my tomcat logs
[16:14] <zash> alaa_: will you use PDO or the mysql_* functions or mysqli?
[16:14] <ikonia> zash: maybe take php to ##php ?
[16:14] <Cotowar> though, my system has also been acting weird since i got my fingerprint scanner up and running
[16:15] <alaa_> zash:mysql
[16:15] <cyban> ikonia, yes, Mozilla Firefox - whats the default directory
[16:15] <Cotowar> could that have done something?
[16:15] <ikonia> Cotowar: /usr/bin
[16:15] <yadu> dotblank: sorry i lost my net connection
[16:15] <jtaji> black9ice: and in that case, you really might want to wait until next month for jaunty, because it does require some learning to set up properly
[16:15] <ikonia> Cotowar: sorry
[16:15] <new-tu> hi everyone!  :)
[16:15] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat: surely if i did init.d/tomcat & it would still run anyway, especially with tomcat?
[16:15] <cyban> ah thx
[16:15] <chemp> hey
[16:15] <ikonia> cyban: /usr/bin
[16:15] <ikonia> NativeAngels: you've said that
[16:15] <AndrewMohawk> especially with nohup*
[16:15] <new-tu> got what I hope is an easy problem...  :)
[16:15] <ikonia> new-tu: then ask
[16:15] <black9ice> jtaji: no problem, just will need to whip out the linux cap.....so basics would be create 3 user accounts on the machine, configure fetchmail/postfix to dump email into said folders for the different users, then use dovecot for pop3 access?
[16:15] <new-tu> cool
[16:15] <cyban> ok ty, trying to get flash working :/
[16:15] <n8tuserf> AndrewGee -> perhaps you can post your tomcat script in init.d  -- also try to launch tomcat from cli, it should be okay right?
[16:15] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk ->  -> perhaps you can post your tomcat script in init.d  -- also try to launch tomcat from cli, it should be okay right?
[16:15] <dajxd1> Well, my video works wonderfully now- but I can barely hear anything from the macbook speakers and nothing from the headphones.  Is this a known issue at all?
[16:15] <ikonia> cyban: install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" from the repos it does it all for you
[16:16] <new-tu> got the latest iso and burned a CD - now trying to run the live CD on a pentium 4 IBM machine
[16:16] <Omatic> Hi all, I have an mp3 player which has files which are refusing to be deleted claiming that the filesystem is Read-only, I can't even change permissions, the mp3 player was last used on windows, the filesystem is vfat, I have tried mount -o rw,remount /dev/sdc1 to mount it as read-write but what happens is that, yes I will be able to delete the files but when I eject and mount again,  I find the same files are still there! where am I missing the point
[16:16] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: don't know tomcat. a regular executable would end, though, as there is not more shell for it work with. A daemon would detach and continue running.
[16:16] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> kindly change your nick or else the other Andrew gets it
[16:16] <zash> ikonia: s/zash/alaa_/
[16:16] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: yes, if i manually run it after install it works perfectly
[16:16] <mitesh> is there any command to enable grub of another OS?
[16:16] <new-tu> blank, black screen + cursor
[16:16] <new-tu> got somehting I can read?  :)
[16:16] <zash> alaa_: see what ikonia wrote
[16:16] <Cotowar> i messed around in the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file to get my fingerprint reader to work, and since then, my gnome power manager has been screwy
[16:16] <ikonia> !ati > new-tu
[16:16] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk ->  -> perhaps you can post your tomcat script in init.d
[16:16] <cyban> ikonia, ok ill see if I can find it ty
[16:16] <alaa_> zash:ok
[16:16] <chemp> i have a problem with installing ubuntu + encryption .. i always get an "failed to copy files" error
[16:16] <pvh_sa> '''Caravaggio Caravaggio  TTTTTTTT0          ...
[16:17] <chemp> can somebody help me plz?
[16:17] <AndrewMohawk> !paste
[16:17] <Cotowar> PS, my fingerprint reader worked for like 2 days, then went back to being non functional
[16:17] <piloten1975_> Im sitting on new fresch ubuntu desktop install,  but I can´t get the graphics drivers to work, when I click activate nothing changes.
[16:17] <ChrisW> so, no help on screen res problems then? :-(
[16:17] <surgy> hello
[16:17] <Jeruvy> Omatic: try forcing deletion.  read 'man rm' for summary and instructions for invoking the documentation.
[16:17] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126781/ <-- my init.d script
[16:17] <surgy> i installed ubuntu via the wumbi installer. how can i access my windows partition now?
[16:18] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: now we'll need /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[16:18] <alaa_> zash: he don't wrote anything related to my case?
[16:18] <Cotowar> surgy, you should have grub installed, in which case it would let you pick on boot
[16:18] <Cotowar> though i dont know what wumbi is, so i couldn't tell you if thats the same or not
[16:18] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat: hold, thanks for helping too
[16:19] <cyban> can anyone recommend a Docker, cant seem to find Cairo Dock
[16:19] <surgy> Cotowar, umm no i dont want to boot into windows, i simply want to access my windows partition while in linux
[16:19] <Cotowar> oh, my bad
[16:19] <Cotowar> misinterpreted
[16:19] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: np, supposed to be working on invoicing ;-)
[16:19] <chemp> surgy: try virtualbox
[16:19] <ikonia> surgy: look in the places menu
[16:19] <ikonia> surgy: you should be able to mount it from there
[16:19] <storbeck> surgy: mkdir /mnt/windows - mount /dev/yourwindowspartition /mnt/windows
[16:19] <zash> alaa_: #php would be a better place to get help
[16:19] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat, n8tuserf: startup.sh > http://paste.ubuntu.com/126782/
[16:19] <Cotowar> surgy: yea, it should be a filesystem in the places menu. you should be able to mount the partition there
[16:19] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> i dont know if CLASSPATH has to be established too..
[16:19] <shavin> I am trying to install ubuntu after booting up from live cd and using Sytem>Administration>install command. But when i reach the step 4, i cant see any partitions of any drive. it seems stuck and unable to read any drive!
[16:19] <cyban> er nm, Cairo is installed but no menu for it heh
[16:20] <Omatic> Jeruvy, what combination should I use?
[16:20] <alaa_> zash:ok thanks
[16:20] <Jeruvy> surgy: you can either mount the drive or share it.  Ask ubottu about 'ntfs'.
[16:20] <AndrewMohawk> im doing "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun" in my preinst
[16:20] <Jeruvy> Omatic: what are you asking me?
[16:20] <pos69sum> anyone using gnome with openbox?
[16:20] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> am not sure if JAVA_HOME includes CLASSPATH
[16:20] <Cotowar> where might i learn the commands for IRC again? I knew them once upon a time when i was a MMORPG-er, but i have forgotten
[16:21] <_VIM_> cyban: cairo-dock is under Applications >System tools, but you might have to log out and log back in to see it...
[16:21] <storbeck> !irc | Cotowar
[16:21] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> check the catalina.sh  if it sets that, i cant remember..
[16:21] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: how would i find out, also tomcat *is* running, but as soon as postinst ends it takes my tomcat with it
[16:21] <Cotowar> thanks man
[16:22] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> your postinst  script? post it please
[16:22] <Cotowar> since i added fingerprint authorization to my pam.d/common-auth file, i can no longer access synaptic via menu
[16:22] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk, n8tuserf: doesn't look like it reparents itself to init (am I saying this right?)
[16:22] <cyban> _VIM_, I dont have a system folder under application
[16:22] <Cotowar> i can click it, and it opens for a second, then disappears
[16:23] <storbeck> Cotowar: Maybe you have the wrong fingerprint :P
[16:23] <Cotowar> lol
[16:23] <Cotowar> thats it
[16:23] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat, n8tuserf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126786/ <-- relevant postinst section
[16:23] <_VIM_> cyban: System Tools? it should be there, are you running gnome?
[16:23] <cyban> _VIM_, yes Gnome with Emerald/Compiz
[16:23] <Cotowar> i was looking and thinkfinger has a couple known bugs, though the developer said he had a workaround. I just dont know where to put the code
[16:23] <cyban> I thought I was missing something there, but the install went fine and everything was working so im not sure why it isnt there
[16:23] <n8tuserf> jimcooncat -> possibly, i dont remember the interaction between init and a tomcat thats acting like a daemon
[16:24] <_VIM_> hmm well im on 8.10 and I have it :)
[16:24] <cyban> not used Ubuntu in about a year so kinda rusty
[16:24] <toddoon> why ubuntu has 2.6.27 whereas it exist 2.6.28?
[16:24] <adante> hi folks, is ubuntu 8.10 friendly with existing windows installs?
[16:24] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat: any idea how to fix it?
[16:24] <LjL> !latest | toddoon
[16:24] <r00t_> hiho
[16:24] <Cotowar> how might i find out if my laptop has internal bluetooth without taking it apart?
[16:24] <Joran> adante: extremely friendly - too friendly!
[16:24] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> why is there a period in line 6 ?   /bin/sh ./  <--
[16:25] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: only thing I could think to rig this is to spawn Tomcat in a screen session. running it in background with & doesn't work as when the postint closes it brings down the background tomcat process with it.
[16:25] <r00t_> i've got a problem with my keyboard unter jaunty
[16:25] <adante> Joran: someone is telling me if i install ubuntu onto another partition, grub will automatically give me the option to boot from my other xp partition, is this for real?
[16:25] <cyban> _VIM_, any idea how to get that menu back?
[16:25] <_VIM_> !jaunty
[16:25] <_VIM_> !panel | cyban
[16:25] <_VIM_> !panels
[16:25] <r00t_> *under
[16:25] <Joran> yes adante: it automatically will set up dual-boot for you
[16:25] <cyban> hrm no ubot help heh
[16:25] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: so that it executes the startup.sh script?
[16:25] <cyban> oh nm,
[16:26] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> the path witll start from current "."  so unless you have ./usr/... exist?
[16:26] <surgy> ok so there is no option in the "places" menu  to mount or otherwise view my windows partition
[16:26] <surgy> can someone help me?
[16:26] <cyban> _VIM_, hrm, no luck that didnt put it in
[16:27] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: try using this as line 6 of your postint: /usr/bin/screen /bin/sh ./usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[16:27] <surgy> !ntfs
[16:27] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: assuming you have screen installed of course.
[16:27] <_VIM_> cyban: not sure what else it could be, if you're on 8.10 you *SHOULD* have Applications > System Tools menu :/
[16:27] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> is tomcat really in current dir and has path to it with  ./usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh   ?
[16:27] <miguelp> how to connect to a wpa2-psk network using an hex key?
[16:28] <Med1a> hey ,,,
[16:28] <AndrewMohawk> tomcat isnt in the current directory, thus the full path for the script being given
[16:28] <Med1a> how can i use mesene with arabic language
[16:28] <erUSUL> !sa
[16:28] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> thats why i asked you about the "."   remove it
[16:28] <Med1a> ubottu
[16:29] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> you are telling it to start from current dir with "."
[16:29] <cyban> _VIM_, ya im trying to edit the menu which lists System but nothing seems to bring it into the menu list
[16:29] <surgy> I installed ubuntu using the wumbi installer, can someone help me acess me windows partition please?
[16:29] <dreamy> nightrid3r: hey whats up ? :) (just sayng hi)
[16:29] <Med1a> no pepoles on there ....
[16:29] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: none the less it still starts okay, and i can connect to it etc
[16:29] <_VIM_> cyban: well like i said, Im out of answers, you *SHOULD* have those menus if you're on Ubuntu 8.10 :)
[16:29] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> its not correct path though.. you need to correct it
[16:30] <surgy> anyone?
[16:30] <AndrewMohawk> ok let me try that
[16:30] <cyban> ya.. wondering if I should do a reinstall but thats a hell of a lot of work for a missing menu
[16:30] <Med1a> any body help me ... how i can connect to ubuntu from windws via remote desktop ??
[16:30] <ackbahr> Hi!
[16:30] <aloysis> hi everyone I hope I'm in the right area
[16:30] <Wayder> to have ubuntu recognize over 3gb of ram, i need the 64bit os right?
[16:30] <geirha> cyban: Do you see it in alacarte?
[16:31] <ikonia> Wayder: thats the most straight forward way
[16:31] <_VIM_> cyban: I wouldn't, you can always run the apps in terminal, I do that about 90% of the time anyways
[16:31] <cyban> geirha, no
[16:31] <regeya> Wayder, personal opinion, if you have a 64-bit proc, you should be running a 64-bit os
[16:31] <ackbahr> Is there a way to get a chronological list of the packages I installed (time of installation)? I need to remove something and I can't remember the name....
[16:31] <cyban> whats the launcher for Cairo Dock just cario-dock?
[16:31] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> curious as to why you'd have it in init.d to start it and then another in postinstall?  postinstall gets triggered when?
[16:31] <ikonia> cyban: dpkg log may have it
[16:31] <_VIM_> cyban: yeah cairo-dock
[16:31] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: because ive been trying *loads* of different ways before i came here
[16:32] <aloysis> does anyone know where I can look for a history when users of an ubuntu system logs on and off. is there a log for that?
[16:32] <ikonia> aloysis: last
[16:32] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: first with init.d then directly calling the startup.sh and also with & and nohup and /bin/sh's
[16:32] <dreamy> is there any command to give me a status of my ports.. firewall  etc ?
[16:32] <credo> $last -20
[16:32] <cyban> thanks
[16:32] <surgy> guess im on my own with this one...
[16:32] <ikonia> dreamy: iptables -l
[16:32] <dreamy> ok ikonia
[16:32] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> so am not sure which one is getting launched.. do it one at a time..dont try to relaunch it somewhere else
[16:33] <ikonia> surgy: stop crying about help, someone will help when they can
[16:33] <aloysis> perfect you all are awesome
[16:33] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: no, i mean i tried them each one at a time, same result, tomcat starts up, works fine when postinst is going on, but as soon as it ends it takes tomcat down
[16:33] <snowveil> surgy, mount it with ntfs-3g
[16:33] <dreamy> ikonia: sorry .. uknown arg :S
[16:34] <cyban> hrm one last thing, where do I go to select it to start Cario on boot?
[16:34] <ikonia> dreamy: what command ?
[16:34] <surgy> snowveil, and how do i do that?
[16:34] <snowveil> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[16:34] <dreamy> ikonia: iptables -l
[16:34] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> you'd have to correct your postinstall script then or try without relaunching from postinstall
[16:34] <surgy> snowveil, why does kubuntu auto mount my ntfs partition and gnome doesnt?
[16:34] <JonathanD> so I'm having an odd issue with remote ssh connections.
[16:34] <dreamy> maybe its -i
[16:34] <JonathanD> mostly with screen+ irssi
[16:34] <cyban> or not, arg - cario-dock just gives me options to configure but dont launch it
[16:35] <Wayder> my thing is that I have a 64bit proc, 8gb of ram  (its my desktop workstation) currently I am running win2k and looking to upgrade.. this is my work laptop running ubuntu 8.04, im currently upgrading to 8.10 (download in progress) is it worth getting the 64bit Ubuntu 8.10 for my desktop? The biggest issue I have is that I am a gamer and play fps as well as other games. I have 4 hard drives for a total of approx of 2tb in a raid config and
[16:35] <Wayder> a compact flash to sata adapter for my bootable OS drive.. will ubuntu64 fit in the 8gb allocation?
[16:35] <ikonia> dreamy: -L
[16:35] <snowveil> dunno :)
[16:35] <JonathanD> I get some sort of lag or something when I update the screen, switch tabs, or large amounts of stuff on screen change.
[16:35] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: postinst was the only place i was launching from
[16:35] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> and you seemed to cutoff the rest of postinstall script, lest you tell us you dont want us to see it?
[16:35] <dreamy> ikonia: okey.
[16:35] <snowveil> linux doesn't natively support ntfs
[16:35] <JonathanD> then I have to swithc windows again or something to fix it.
[16:35] <ikonia> Wayder: all that you ve said has nothing to do with if you should get 64bit or not
[16:35] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: i can't really show you, but that is the *end* of the postinst
[16:35] <JonathanD> Is this a known issue, or something?
[16:35] <erUSUL> Wayder: short answer: yes go with 64 bit
[16:35] <dreamy> it worked
[16:35] <dreamy> thanks
[16:35] <Wayder> basicly.. will it fit in 8gb?
[16:35] <Jeruvy> Wayder: you may wish to learn about 'fakeraid' before you go too far.
[16:35] <ikonia> Wayder: the answer is "do you want 64bit, and do you want it to use all 8gb of your ram out of the box"
[16:35] <ikonia> Wayder: you don't install to ram
[16:36] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: prior to that is just some scripting to pull files for my application
[16:36] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> without knowing what the rest of the script does, we all are using our crystall ball to guess
[16:36] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: it does wgets'
[16:36] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> if you wish, remove it from init.d/  then just have the postinstall
[16:36] <armence1> Hi all, I wanted to know how I can make some programs start when I log on
[16:36] <Wayder> is one able to load Virtualbox into ram? =s
[16:36] <erUSUL> Wayder: that 8GiB are the flash media capacity?
[16:37] <ikonia> Wayder: it's an application - it runs in ram
[16:37] <jimcooncat> armence1: are you using gnome?
[16:37] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> its in ram
[16:37] <Wayder> yeh, the flashcard is 8gb which is were my os is housed
[16:37] <ikonia> Wayder: then why did you say it was 8GB of ram ?
[16:38] <Wayder> my ram is 8gb and my os drive is 8gb..
[16:38] <jimcooncat> armence1: System - > Preferences -> Sessions
[16:38] <huufarted> quit
[16:38] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> really?
[16:38] <ikonia> Wayder: stock ubuntu install is about 1.6 gig
[16:38] <wad> Quick question: On my laptop, I plug in a CRT to the VGA port. Pressing Fn+F7 activates external video that clones my laptop screen, but it's scrambled. Pressing it again sends it only to external, and it looks good. Pressing it again sends it back to laptop screen, and it's good. I need to be able to clone, and not have the CRT scrambled. Ideas?
[16:38] <Wayder> yeh, ram was on sale for 30$/2g and my mobo has room for 4
[16:38] <Wayder> so I stocked up
[16:39] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> 32 bit? or 64?
[16:39] <Wayder> at the moment 2k, which is not making best use of my ram
[16:39] <n8tuserf> wad -> umm crt can not handle your resolution
[16:39] <Wayder> windows 2k its the only legal copy of windows I have
[16:39] <Cycom> Wayder: you have 8gb of ram?
[16:39] <Wayder> yes
[16:40] <Wayder> 4x 2GB
[16:40] <Cycom> Wayder: gonna go with ubuntu 64 then?
[16:40] <n8tuserf> Wayder you need to donate some of that to me..lol
[16:40] <Wayder> lol
[16:40] <wad> n8tuserf, but it seems to be okay when it's only going there.... trying again, checking bounds of screen....
[16:40] <Wayder> yeh, I was thinking 64bit ubuntu since ubuntu works rather well on my 32bit laptop
[16:40] <ikonia> Wayder: get stuck in and enjoy
[16:41] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> you're able to run 64bit into a 32bit laptop?
[16:41] <jimcooncat> Wayder: you'll be able to run win2k in a virtual machine then. You'll want 64 bit if you want to address all that ram
[16:41] <Wayder> n8t, no the laptop runs 32 ubuntu
[16:41] <wad> n8tuserf, No, it's fine when it's only going to the CRT. It's only when it's going to both that the CRT is scrambed.
[16:41] <Wayder> and yeh, anything over 3gb needs 64bit
[16:41] <DecemberWolf> does anybody know how i can get ubuntu to recognise a second monitor?
[16:41] <DecemberWolf> does anybody know how i can get ubuntu to recognise a second monitor?
[16:41] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: plug it in and use the "screen resolution" tool, see if it see's it
[16:41] <n8tuserf> wad when it is scrambled try doing a   ctrl+alt+numericpad plus symbol
[16:42] <wad> DecemberWolf, that's what I'm working on now.... :)
[16:42] <wad> n8tuserf, okay!
[16:42] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: system -> preferences -> screen resolution
[16:42] <Dreamglider-> DecemberWolf: wad: Me too.
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: im trying to get it to detect an HDTV through a DVi to HDMi connector
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: should i just give up now or is this possible? :P
[16:43] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: do what I suggested
[16:43] <bexamous> it works
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: it doesnt see it
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> :(
[16:43] <bexamous> I have a Westinghouse HDTV that gets detected with DVI->HDMI connector
[16:44] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: ok - so now use the command dccprobe and see if it can see it
[16:44] <n8tuserf> bexamous -> tell tell.. some are attempting what you have done
[16:44] <ikonia> bexamous: dvi->hdmi converter has no effect, it's just "pin mapping"
[16:44] <DecemberWolf> ikonia dccprobe command not found :(
[16:44] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: install it
[16:44] <bexamous> yeah its not doing anything special
[16:45] <Slayer> Excuse me, this might sound strange, but... Ubuntu does not see the drive to which it was installed. It has a "File system" and another drive, named "30 GB media". File system is a Ubuntu install folder...
[16:45] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> its ddcprobe
[16:45] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: apt-get yeah?
[16:45] <Wayder> so the general consensus is that ubuntu64 has a 1.2gb install footprint?
[16:45] <bexamous> although its interesting when I switch monitor to windows the nvidia driver knows its an hdmi monitor
[16:45] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: search - so you find the right pacakge name
[16:45] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> its ddcprobe
[16:45] <ikonia> n8tuserf: thank you
[16:45] <n8tuserf> ikonia -> you're welcome
[16:45] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: its locked until the updates are done
[16:46] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: then wait
[16:46] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: i will ask later, but thanks. i will start with what u have suggested and get back to you if im still stuck
[16:46] <Seveas> patience is a virtue :)
[16:46] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: its gonna take about an hour to update, wont keep you waiting :P
[16:47] <Slayer> and the other drive is the other drive, where i store downloads. I can't find the folders i had on this drive before (Like Program Files) though, i see them in Windows perfectly
[16:47] <ikonia> Slayer: file systems work different in linux than windows
[16:48] <Slayer> ikonia: How can i see those folders trough ubuntu?
[16:48] <ikonia> Slayer: open the "places" menu and look in "computer" you'll see all your drives/file systems
[16:48] <miville> join #rawmaterials
[16:48] <ikonia> Slayer: your "ubuntu" file system will be called "filesystem"
[16:48] <miville> lol
[16:49] <Slayer> ikonia: I know that. And it's the Ubuntu folder whatsoever... And like WTF how do i go out of that? To the thing that was C:\ in windows?
[16:49] <bittyx> Hi, I'm having some trouble with my Ubuntu/Windows machine (the Windows part, that is). I realize this is #ubuntu, and not #windows, but everything was working fine earlier, so I guess Ubuntu might have broken something (or rather, I've broken it using Ubuntu).
[16:49] <ikonia> Slayer: that is the "c" think in windows
[16:50] <Seveas> Slayer, the "C" thin in windows will be somewhere under /media/
[16:50] <Slayer> em... Filesystem/media?
[16:50] <Seveas> bittyx, windows problems in ##windows :)
[16:51] <wad> n8tuserf, woah, that killed my system.
[16:51] <bittyx> I've installed Ubuntu a few days ago, on the same HDD with my Windows system, and it worked well until today. This morning, I shut down Windows to get into Ubuntu, and spent a few hours there. Later, I restarted, and I chose Windows in Grub, but all I get is a black screen and nothing happens.
[16:51] <bittyx> Seveas: I realize, but bear with me for a sec :)
[16:51] <telaviv> hmmm i'm still having issues getting git to work. It asks for a password and i'm not sure what to give it. I gave it the one associated with my public key, and it doesn't work
[16:51] <telaviv> any tips?
[16:52] <bittyx> So, naturally, I insert the Windows installation CD for booting, to try to fix it from there, but, instead of booting from the cdrom, my system just gets into Grub directly.
[16:52] <Seveas> bittyx, you could boot the windows install cd and reinstall its bootloader via the rescue mode
[16:52] <MR_QT> hello
[16:52] <Seveas> bittyx, set the bios to boot from cd :)
[16:52] <spionlala> is there some ppa avail to get gnome 2.26rc backported to intrepid?
[16:52] <Slayer> bittyx: I guess windows is just broken. It happens to me sometimes
[16:52] <bittyx> (I would've fixed the MBR/checked the disk, or reinstalled as a last option)
[16:52] <bittyx> The bios is set to boot from the CD.
[16:52] <Seveas> then the cd is broken ?
[16:53] <bittyx> So anyway, I get into Ubuntu to check something, and what happens - I cannot access my cdrom at all.
[16:53] <Seveas> ah, cdrom drive broken
[16:53] <bittyx> Not with the Windows CD, not with the Ubuntu CD, nothing - it just doesn't work.
[16:53] <Slayer> bittyx: i get it... You need a new CDrom device.
[16:53] <bittyx> Slayer: Could that stop Windows from booting as well?
[16:53] <Seveas> bittyx, check the connections to the cdrom drive :)
[16:53] <bittyx> I've checked the connections, but I didn't try to *disconnect* it :D
[16:54] <Seveas> bittyx, maybe. If you have loose wires in your pc, who knows what breaks :)
[16:54] <Slayer> bittyx: not if it was installed to HDD. But it looks like it has some files damaged... Do you get a BSOD or whatever?
[16:54] <bittyx> No no, when I choose Win in Grub, the screen just goes black, and that's it.
[16:54] <Slayer> bittyx: now THAT's strange
[16:54] <Seveas> bittyx, shut down, unplug cd drive, boot :)
[16:54] <bittyx> I can still normally access my Windows partitions from Ubuntu, though.
[16:55] <bittyx> Seveas: Yeah, I'll try that now. Be back in a few minutes if it ain't working. If I'm not back, thanks for the suggestion! :)
[16:55] <Seveas> the windows bootloader might hang on that cd drive (it walks all IDE devices, unliek grub)
[16:55] <Slayer> bittyx: That aint strange... I guess a few files were damaged, and Windows just... blah.
[16:55] <bittyx> Seveas: I realized that, it just hasn't crossed my mind before.

[16:56] <Pici> !ppagpg | hwilde
[16:56] <bittyx> Anyway, see you soon, maybe :)
[16:57] <rhythmsoup> Can anyone take a look at my post here and give me their comments: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6843122
[16:57] <Slayer> bittyx: I had windows broken once even though i did not do ANYTHING at all
[16:57] <hwilde> Pici, I am pretty good but that howto does not make any sense.  why is this so complicated
[16:57] <hwilde> Pici, I don't know the key to add
[16:57] <Seveas> Slayer, you probably smiled at it in a suggestive way, making it soil its pants :)
[16:58] <Pici> hwilde: See this page for the gpg key id: https://edge.launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa
[16:58] <kraut> moin
[17:01] <n8tuserf> rhythmsoup -> yes there is a fair chance that the driver for those non-connecting ones are incompatible or not up to date
[17:01] <alex1> hello
[17:04] <bittyx> Seveas, Slayer: Just dropped back to say thanks.
[17:04] <bittyx> It was the cd-rom after all.
[17:04] <Seveas> bittyx, pity, that means you can boot that inferor os again ;)
[17:05] <bittyx> Seveas: I know, but it's like a necessary evil - I need Photoshop, and GIMP just doesn't cut it.
[17:05] <[Phaedrus]> question: why do people contribute to linux? what drives people to contribute?
[17:05] <flice> hi
[17:05] <bittyx> And I do Photography, so I need some Nikon programs that, unfortunately, aren't made for Linux :(
[17:06] <flice> I get an "unresolved symbol: ffmp_nopts" error, when trying to encode with ffmpeg. any help?
[17:06] <bittyx> [Phaedrus]: Because people are actually nice and open-minded and believe that sharing knowledge leads to more knowledge?
[17:06] <hwilde> Pici, is that stuff gonna be streamlined in the future?  because it is a real pita...
[17:06] <flice> s/ffmp_/ffm_/
[17:07] <Pici> hwilde: Its only a pain because ppa gpg keys were addded after ppas were made available.
[17:07] <Seveas> bittyx, I just do it for the money :)
[17:07] <bittyx> And because, despite being free, it's still more stable than Windows (and that's what you should compare it to, since the majority of computer users run M$ stuff)
[17:08] <hwilde> Pici, yeah but it could like popup a view pgp key, add key dialog.  like the certificates do now
[17:08] <[Phaedrus]> bittyx: well, thats all one part of it, but what do people really get out of it. whats the value system? what do credits or good standing get folks in the real world?
[17:08] <bittyx> Seveas: Well yeah, but you don't earn by selling software, you earn it by administration/servicing, and from people who contribute money to free software.
[17:08] <ZykoticK9> [Phaedrus], <joke> I think it's for the glamour and all the hot women </joke>
[17:08] <Seveas> bittyx, or by being paid by your boss
[17:08] <[Phaedrus]> ZykoticK9: hot women? OMG!:P
[17:09] <bittyx> [Phaedrus]: It's not that you *don't* make any money, but there are certainly people who work for free. Maybe those people already have good jobs and just do it for fun and self-fulfilment?
[17:09] <Giant81> how women in linux?
[17:09] <hwilde> !ot | everybody
[17:09] <Giant81> where!!!
[17:09] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: couldnt find package: ddcprobe
[17:09] <Seveas> !search ddcprobe
[17:09] <Seveas> !find ddcprobe
[17:10] <Seveas> DecemberWolf, apt-get install xresprobe
[17:10] <bittyx> Well okay, not to offtopic anymore - thanks once again, Seveas. See ya!
[17:11] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: it's not a package name - I told you to search for the right package name
[17:11] <hwilde> ok now I have another question.  my resolution is failing over to 800x600.  i've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and various other things but it just breaks terribly.  monitor is optimum 1920x1200 60Hz  Dell E248WFP
[17:11] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: I made that quite clear
[17:11] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: sorry!
[17:13] <Giant81> hwilde chances are it's not the monitor, its' the video card drivers
[17:13] <hwilde> Giant81, ok let's go with that then
[17:13] <glitsj16> hwilde: anything relevant like warnings (WW) or errors (EE) reported in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[17:14] <hwilde> glitsj16, http://pastebin.com/f57491afe   //var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:14] <danopia> hi
[17:14] <glitsj16> hwilde: i'll have a look, hope others chime in as well, these things can be hard to track, i'll let you know if i catch something
[17:18] <Coolidge> I LOVE WINDOS VISTA32 BIT!!!!
[17:18] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: i got it. i have run the ddcprobe command. what now?
[17:18]  * DecemberWolf slaps Coolidge around a bit with a large trout
[17:18] <Coolidge> hahaha
[17:18] <ikonia> Coolidge: play elsewhere - not in here
[17:19] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: did it detect two monitors in the output ?
[17:19] <Coolidge> ikonia, hahaha
[17:19] <Coolidge> -_-
[17:19] <ikonia> Coolidge: please respect that this is a support channel, play elsewhere
[17:20] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: i cant tell. it looks to me like it is only detecting one
[17:20] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: do you want to pastbin it ?
[17:20] <Coolidge> how can I change my unbuntu, to look more like windows vista
[17:21] <Coolidge> I love the dream scene
[17:21] <ikonia> Coolidge: use a windows theme
[17:21] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, it seems like you are using the VESA driver and it's Virtual size is 800x600 (line 1752), what sort of graphics card to you have?  it would be better if you could install a specific driver, rather then using the default VESA...
[17:21] <_VIM_>  !themes
[17:21] <glitsj16> hwilde: only errors are related to 'Logitech Logitech RumblePad 2 USB' .. no clue what that device is ...
[17:21] <dccuser> Coolidge: I would recommend ubuntu off topic, youll get plenty of flames there
[17:21] <Coolidge> ikonia : you got a link
[17:21] <ikonia> Coolidge: there are plenty of themes on gnome-look.org
[17:21] <Coolidge> okay Cool
[17:21] <hwilde> glitsj16, that's just my joystick - and that is workin ok
[17:21] <Coolidge> thank you
[17:21] <zxxd> what sounds better, ubuimage or ubunimage ?
[17:21] <Coolidge> ikonia : do you get paid for helping people in this channel
[17:21] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, i've looked through lspci and I don't see nvidia or ati so i guess it's default intel onboard graphics?
[17:21] <ikonia> Coolidge: no
[17:21] <Coolidge> ikonia : heavy, okay thanks dude, L8R
[17:22] <dbrewer_rjr> i am trying to install open-vm-tools into a hardy server. i get an error: error: glib >= 2.6.0 is required. What do I install to fix this?
[17:22] <ikonia> dbrewer_rjr: it means it needs a version of glib greater than 2.6
[17:22] <ikonia> dbrewer_rjr: where are you trying to install them - how ae you trying to install them ?
[17:22] <glitsj16> hwilde: ok .. what does running "xrandr" from terminal return ? it should report your supported monitor modes
[17:22] <zxxd> or ubimage
[17:22] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126820
[17:23] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: yes, looks like that's just one monitor
[17:23] <dbrewer_rjr> ikonia: yup i know. i just need the correct apt-get package. I am using the open-vm-tools to generate a patch for the VMware tools
[17:23] <ikonia> dreamy:  you already have glib on your system , or should do
[17:23] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, http://pastebin.com/f2c04529d  lspci -v
[17:24] <ikonia> dbrewer_rjr: how are you trying to install the vmware tools product
[17:24] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: so where do i go from here to detect the second one?
[17:24] <hwilde> glitsj16, it is in like failsafe mode or something.  it only has 800x600 and 640x480
[17:24] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: well, if it's not being detected at all, you can always try hard coding it in xorg.conf - but that fact that it's not being detected at all looks like you can't use the method you want to use to connect it
[17:25] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: thats not fact - just my opinion at this stage
[17:25] <glitsj16> hwilde: i see, out of ideas here i'm afraid
[17:25] <hwilde> it's the driver not hte monitor
[17:25] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, is on the right track
[17:25] <swcdxUBu> hello
[17:26] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, yup that's intel graphics all right - i wish i could see what driver xorg.conf had on my eee, it's intel too - but there must be something better then VESA? I just don't know what it is
[17:27] <hwilde> ok so who knows what driver i need for intel graphics
[17:27] <ikonia> ZykoticK9: intel or i810 are your two options
[17:27] <ikonia> hwilde: intel or i810
[17:27] <Beanz> hi
[17:28] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, see that last post from ikonia you need to change VESA to one of those two options.  good luck
[17:28] <hwilde> what is the difference ?
[17:28] <hwilde> ikonia, how do you know which one
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: ones more "bleeding edge"
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: I'd suggest trying the intel one
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: thats teh better option, but not supported on all kit
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: then fall back to i810 if it's not good
[17:29] <desen> hello dudes. i need assistance regarding a dual boot issue. might take some time, ANY VOLUNTEERS ? query please
[17:29] <ikonia> desen: just ask the question
[17:29] <cyban> Ok this is odd.... I reinstalled Ubuntu and I still dont have a system folder under applications
[17:29] <ikonia> cyban: there is no "system" folder
[17:29] <ikonia> cyban: as I told you it works different in linux
[17:29] <sbornix> there're any repository for ubuntu 8.04 for install xfce 4.6 ?? in default repository configs there's only xfce 4.4..
[17:29] <cyban> ikonia: well Misc or something, when I install programs they arent getting into the menus
[17:30] <ikonia> cyban: which program for example
[17:30] <hwilde> ikonia, ok I have xserver-xorg-video-intel how do I activate it?
[17:30] <cyban> ikonia: Cario is one of them, there are a bunch
[17:30] <ikonia> cyban: give me a few examples
[17:31] <ikonia> hwilde: change or add teh line Driver "intel" in your xorg.conf in the generic video card device section
[17:31] <cyban> basically anything that wouldnt go under the standard menus
[17:32] <ikonia> cyban: can you give me some examples please
[17:32] <cyban> trying to find a few ikonia, fresh install so im not noticing as much
[17:32] <Slayer> Excuse me, how do i search for a certain package?
[17:32] <LjL> !packages | Slayer
[17:32] <pLr> Slayer: apt-cache search
[17:33] <Slayer> and what will i get after it's found? Will i get WHERE is it located? I want to give one to my friend
[17:33] <ikonia> Slayer: let your friend get it then
[17:34] <ikonia> Slayer: rather than you get it for him
[17:34] <sileni> hey guys im in ubuntu live sesssion. im trying to resize the windows xp partition that it came preloaded with .. but when i went to resize it only does it to 8mb of the original size
[17:35] <dbiscuts> is there a way to see where my usb device is registering as while I unplug and plug it in
[17:35] <Travis-42> Does anyone know where sbackup logs?  It mysteriously stopped doing daily backups several days ago and I can't figure out why
[17:35] <ikonia> desen: on /media
[17:36] <cyban> Cairo is installed by default right?
[17:36] <ikonia> Travis-42: normally /var/log
[17:36] <desen> The story goes like this: i had a dual boot XP + Ubuntu 8.04. Windows failed me and decided to erase it, leaving only Ubuntu. Inserted a bootable win 2000 CD and formated C: but something went wrong and i cannot use Linux. the GRUB reinstallation FAILED because it couldnt recognise the partitions. Used Hiren's Tool (bunch of programs for recovery or partition utilities) and still i cannot do anyting. i keep getting errors at a point.
[17:36] <Travis-42> ikonia: yea, but when I search all of the files in there, I can't find anything from the program
[17:36] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, glitsj16, ikonia,   ok intel driver is activated.  now xrandr returns a bunch of resolutions: http://pastebin.com/f54cbace1    but i'm still stuck at 800x600
[17:38] <desen> well ?
[17:38] <ikonia> desen: re-install, sounds like you've messed up the disk
[17:38] <Iceman_B^Ltop> if a file belongs to User A1, group Spades, and user A1 is member is Spades, can I change file ownership to say, A1 and Hearts?
[17:38] <Geek`N`Proud> desen, install Windows first
[17:38] <Geek`N`Proud> then install Ubuntu
[17:38] <Iceman_B^Ltop> where user A1 and Group Hearts are unrelated ?
[17:38] <ikonia> desen: boot from ubuntu live CD to see that status of the disk
[17:38] <Geek`N`Proud> and make sure you partition manually in a way that doesn't nuke Windows
[17:39] <desen> HOW ? Live CD does not recognise partitions. tried to format the C and D which belonged to Windows - not allowed
[17:40] <burkmat> Attempting to install Java in order to use applets in Firefox - No success using their installer... Ideas?
[17:40] <ikonia> desen: then your file system is gone - reinstall time
[17:40] <desen> i am working with 2 PCs at a time and 1 monitor LOL will be right back, checking what exactly LiveCD says
[17:40] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, glitsj16, ikonia,   ok intel driver is activated.  now xrandr returns a bunch of resolutions: http://pastebin.com/f54cbace1    but i'm still stuck at 800x600.   suggestions for what is next ?
[17:40] <BrandonL> I have a question regarding programming with ubuntu. I am currently running Vista on this pc and was planning on installing Ubuntu. Can I install Ubuntu on my virtual machine, without having any restrictions that come along with programming on windows. or is it better to just partition and dual OS?
[17:40] <desen> thanx
[17:41] <Geek`N`Proud> BrandonL, generally speaking there isn't any programming limitations within VMs unless you are working on kernel-level stuff
[17:42] <Sirisian|Work> Is it possible in one command line statement to do a find and replace on a file? Like replace all instances of "DeviceURI cupspykota:" with "DeviceURI "?

[17:42] <BrandonL> Ok, thank you. I am going to start learning Python, and didnt want to hit any brick walls.
[17:42] <glitsj16> hwilde: i have to leave sorry, or my dinner burns down the oven ... but i think you need to add a modeline to your xorg.conf manually, websearch that and look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution if nobody chimes in, best of luck
[17:42] <mattg> I don't know that much about Ubuntu... what do I have to do so my apps quit automatically during log out?
[17:42] <Geek`N`Proud> BrandonL, yeah Python will be fine =]

[17:45] <bofh28> hello
[17:45] <hatter243> !welcome | bofh
[17:46] <bofh28> Thank you
[17:46] <oshua86> hey guys, where are the fonts located?
[17:46] <bofh28> Can someone please help compile a driver?
[17:46] <Tymir> grobda24 > force redetection on each boot ?
[17:46] <oshua86> /usr/share/fonts?
[17:46] <s0l1dsnak3123> oshua86: /usr/share/fonts
[17:47] <oshua86> thansk
[17:47] <s0l1dsnak3123> not a problem :)
[17:47] <oshua86> s0l1dsnak3123, so If I have a .ttf file, can i just move it to that folder and then I can use the fonts?
[17:48] <s0l1dsnak3123> yeah, but you'll need to copy it over as root :)
[17:48] <grobda24> Tymir, no, I think it's a script ion /etc/init.d/ ... but is it the udev or the hal one ?
[17:48] <s0l1dsnak3123> so type alt+F2, then type in "gksu nautilus /usr/share/fonts" then press enter
[17:48] <Tymir> look at : dmesg | tail
[17:48] <bofh28> The ubuntu package for my video card driver does not work.  It gives a undefined symbol error.
[17:49] <bofh28> I want to recompile the driver so I can have a working X but when I do a make I get an error
[17:49] <sileni> hey guys
[17:49] <bofh28> No rule to make target 'i128' needed by 'all-am'
[17:49] <sileni> im installing ubuntu 8.10 on my hp mini 1000 netbook
[17:50] <sileni> it has a 15.6 gb ssd
[17:50] <bofh28> What do I need to do to fix it?  Thanks,
[17:50] <sileni> preinstalled with xp .. how do i partition it ?
[17:50] <JoshuaRL> sileni: do you want to keep xp?
[17:50] <sileni> JoshuaRL: yea i want to dual boot
[17:50] <oshua86> s0l1dsnak3123, awesome I didnt know you could do that and open a folder as root, always done it trou cli, now there are 3 folders truetype, type1 and X11, does ti have to go into one of those folders or just the main fonts folder?
[17:51] <s0l1dsnak3123> oshua86, it's a .ttf file, right?
[17:51] <oshua86> s0l1dsnak3123, yes
[17:51] <s0l1dsnak3123> then put it in truetype :)
[17:51] <sipior> bofh28: the missing symbol probably means you need to load another module to meet a dependency.  when exactly did you see the error?
[17:52] <JoshuaRL> sileni: make sure you backup files and defrag first, then use the slider on the install to partition.  I'd suggest at least 6gigs for Ubuntu, and take it easy on installing apps.  If you wanted more room, you could use Xubuntu.  That should run on less space.
[17:52] <ZykoticK9> sipior, bofh28 is trying to compile an X driver, he's getting the error on the "make" step
[17:52] <bofh28> sipior: I see the message undefined symbol xf86usleep after I run startx
[17:52] <sileni> JoshuaRL: what slider?
[17:53] <sipior> ZykoticK9: actually, he said that he saw the error with the ubuntu package, as i recall
[17:53] <vishesh> Hey I have this Intel G35 onboard graphic card. And I don't think the drivers are installed cause whenever I run an openGL application, it runs really sluggishly plus there is nothing about a graphic card in xorg. I have the xorg-intel ... package installed. Any suggestions ?
[17:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> anyone big on file permissions/ ownership? if a file belongs to User A1, group Spades, and user A1 is member is Spades, can I change file ownership to say, A1 and Hearts?
[17:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> where user A1 and Group Hearts are unrelated ?
[17:53] <crdlb> vishesh: that is the only intel driver
[17:54] <bofh28> sipior and ZykoticK9: I see the message undefined symbol xf86usleep with the intrepid package.
[17:54] <[biabia]> help? is there an easy way to make a disk quota for a particular user
[17:54] <vishesh> crdlib : So what should I do ?
[17:54] <churl> (12:54:07) churl: audio is muting after restart (AlsaMixer shows that "PCM" is muted after each restart)
[17:54] <hatter243> !quota | [biabia]
[17:54] <hatter243> dang
[17:54] <JoshuaRL> sileni: on the install, once you boot into the LiveCD.  When you click the Install icon on the desktop, it should eventually get to helping you partition
[17:54] <vishesh> crdlib : Whenenver I run an application which uses OpenGL the window flickers  ...
[17:55] <crdlb> vishesh: are you on 8.04 or 8.10?
[17:55] <bofh28> sipior and ZykoticK9: I figured the best way to fix it was to recompile, but if it is a dependency problem that is better
[17:55] <sileni> JoshuaRL: i didn't see any resizing .. it was guided use entire disk.. guided use largest continuous or manual
[17:55] <vishesh> crdlib : 8.10 ...
[17:55] <[biabia]> googling quota is worse. they want me to edit my fstab
[17:55] <sileni> JoshuaRL: manual didn't allow me to use slider or antyhing
[17:55] <hatter243> [biabia], http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289571
[17:55] <[biabia]> thanks
[17:55] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: sure, 'chown A1 Hearts /path/to/file (if I got that right...)
[17:56] <vishesh> crdlib : I tried running glxgears ... It runs with an amazing framerate "2769 frames in 5.0 seconds = 553.789 FPS", but the screen flickers.
[17:56] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Jeruvy: I know, but will that have any big ramifications for the file?
[17:57] <sipior> bofh28: have you seen this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-i128/+bug/306970 (or perhaps you're one of the commenters there?)
[17:57] <Iceman_B^Ltop> or will it just be like the new group has access, PLUS one user?
[17:57] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I assume that implcitly, a new file belongs to the user that created it and the group that THAT user belongs to
[17:57] <bofh28> sipior: I am Greg
[17:57] <JoshuaRL> sileni: okay, then if you're in manual just resize the partitions instead.  MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP AND DEFRAG, but then shrink the XP partition 6.5 gigs and use the space for two partitions.  one (6 gigs) for Ubuntu, the other (.5 gigs) for SWAP.  It should be one of the filesystems listed there
[17:57] <Cycom> C-S-B: you still around?
[17:57] <sipior> bofh28: thought you might be :-)
[17:57] <crdlb> vishesh: run 'glxinfo | grep -i software'
[17:57] <Ivanlul> Hello I need help, my BIOS wont recognize my harddrive
[17:57] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: that simply adds the file group ownership to the group specified.  What kind of ramifications are you thinking of?
[17:58] <crdlb> vishesh: if that doesn't output anything, then you have 3d acceleration
[17:58] <aheckler> hey all, i'm trying to find out if there's a BASH command that can (using "sudo" of course) move a given file to a random directory in /
[17:58] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Jeruvy: im simply trying to wrap my head around the file permissions/ownership system
[17:58] <sileni> JoshuaRL: im on the same netbook with xp ... and partition magic opened up i can just free up the space using partition magic?
[17:58] <Iceman_B^Ltop> since im new to linux
[17:59] <sileni> JoshuaRL: i just defraged it
[17:59] <ZmAY> how can i format and them mount partition, can i format it in console?
[17:59] <nimda562> Okey, so I need to migrate my passwd database and groups from a freebsd server to an ubuntu server. I have had no luck finding any tools/scripts for this purpose. Any ideas/tips?
[17:59] <ZmAY> then*
[17:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> hehe, Windows "frags" your filesystem
[17:59] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: see 'on intel only?
[17:59] <Jeruvy> [09:10] * ngipon has joined #vmware
[17:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I just now realized how funny that is :)
[17:59] <Ivanlul> I did a switch over of operation systems ( switched ubuntu to the 160 gb hd and windows to the 30gb one ) and now I can't see the 30 gb one
[17:59] <rio> ZmAY: just use mkfs.*
[17:59] <vishesh> crdlib : Yea it isn't outputting anything. Are you sure ? Cause I can't even seem to be able to change my screen Refresh rate (it's stuck at 60) My monitor supports upto 75 ?
[17:59] <JoshuaRL> sileni: that should be fine.  the one for ubuntu should be ext3 filesystem, and the other SWAP.
[17:59] <sipior> bofh28: well, the bug's reported, so you might just be stuck using 8.04 for a little longer. i can try and build the source and replicate the error, but i'm off for home soon. in any event, hope it gets sorted out for you soon.
[17:59] <ZykoticK9> Ivanlul, is it IDE or SATA, if it's IDE verify that it's pinned appropriately for Master/Slave/etc - if it's SATA that's not an issue
[17:59] <grobda24> Which script in init.d will rescan and mount any USB file systems ?
[17:59] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: whoops let me try that again :)
[17:59] <Ivanlul> ide
[18:00] <Ivanlul> I checked
[18:00] <bofh28> sipior: Thanks for the help
[18:00] <Ivanlul> the 30gb one is NTFS with like 8 gigs of files from windows
[18:00] <pinky007> hallo
[18:00] <Ivanlul> but it doesn't actually have the OS on it
[18:00] <sileni> JoshuaRL: ok i have the resize screen opened up and it has free space before, new Size and freespace after i increase the free space after correct?
[18:01] <deany> quick one, im about to installer newer ATI 9.2 driver from 9.1.  I used the wiki guide, and made debs from the .run file.  Do i just install the newer debs ive made or do i have to uninstall the old version
[18:01] <aheckler> i'm trying to find out if there's a BASH command that can (using "sudo" of course) move a given file to a random directory in /
[18:01] <Ivanlul> any Idea on what it could be?
[18:01] <arvind_khadri> hi , i am running a openGL program getting errors, so how do i debug it ?
[18:01] <Pici> aheckler: No. Why would something like that need to exist?
[18:01] <crdlb> vishesh: 60 is fine for an LCD
[18:01] <Pici> Ivanlul: If your BIOS is not seeing your harddrive than Ubuntu support cannot help you, please join ##hardware and ask
[18:01] <Flannel> arvind_khadri: That'd be mv.... (MoVe)
[18:02] <Flannel> er, aheckler
[18:02] <Ivanlul> okay
[18:02] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: for documentation see: info coreutils 'chown invocation'
[18:02] <crdlb> vishesh: btw, there's no 'i' in my nick
[18:02] <JoshuaRL> sileni: yep, windows always wants to be the first partition on the disk, but linux doesnt care :)
[18:02] <rio> ZmAY: its fine to talk here
[18:02] <vishesh> crdllb : Hmmm ... ok I guess (I use 75 on windows) Oh ops sorry.
[18:02] <sileni> wait after i type in 6032 to fiee space after .. it says the new Size is 9.593
[18:02] <istvan_> this sound  problem is killing me. if i use DEFAULT in gtk-record my desktop I get a murmor, or a raspy sound that resembles me talking. how can i fix this?
[18:02] <sileni> JoshuaRL: do i leave it like that or should i add another gig to free space after
[18:03] <hunt577> for some reason Ubuntu 8.04 works on my computer and 8.10 doesn't
[18:03] <vishesh> crdllb : Then do you have anyidea why openGL appications runs so sluggishly ?
[18:03] <Pici> !tab | vishesh
[18:03] <ZmAY> can somebody help me with mks, i want to format partition
[18:03] <ZmAY> mkfs*
[18:03] <vishesh> Hey this is really good ...
[18:04] <aheckler> Pici: well i'm doing a little experiment with a TrueCrypt-encrypted file and i want to "hide" in it someplace inconspicuous
[18:04] <JoshuaRL> sileni: to be clear, it should look like this:  NTFS 7.5gigs;  ext3 6 gigs; SWAP .5 gigs
[18:04] <crdlb> vishesh: mainly because the linux opengl stack is not very well optimized for gaming
[18:04] <rio> ZmAY: i told you to use mkfs.*, whats your question?
[18:04] <crdlb> vishesh: but they're working on it
[18:04] <JoshuaRL> anything else and you risk running out of room on XP or ubuntu.  you're already kinda tight as it is.
[18:04] <hunt577> Anyone know how to change this really stretched screen look on 8.04?
[18:04] <ZykoticK9> vishesh, "glxinfo | grep direct" if it says "direct rendering:  Yes" they you have hardware support, "No" means software and that is always "sluggish"
[18:05] <Pici> aheckler: There are no built in commands to move a file to a random location, but the folks in #bash may be able to help you script something to do that.
[18:05] <crdlb> ZykoticK9: on intrepid, it always says Yes
[18:05] <aheckler> Pici: thanks
[18:05] <hunt577> I need to change the way my screen looks on here
[18:05] <hunt577> on 8.04
[18:05] <sileni> JoshuaRL: why does it say this partition cross the 102 cylinder boundary and may not be bootable
[18:05] <hunt577> its too stretched
[18:05] <hunt577> I am on the livecd
[18:05] <ZykoticK9> crdlb, vishesh ok then trying that is useless... sorry i got nothing.

[18:08] <JoshuaRL> sileni: yeah, im googling it now
[18:09] <sileni> JoshuaRL: nono.. it says new Size 8612.9 and free space after 7012.7
[18:09] <sileni> JoshuaRL: is that good enoug h?

[18:10] <mattg> is there a better place to ask about what signal intrepid sends to processes during logout?
[18:11] <JoshuaRL> sileni: so the error is gone?
[18:11] <mattg> sigterm definitely kills my app... I can't figure out why it isn't quitting during log out
[18:11] <sileni> JoshuaRL: no its still there
[18:11] <sileni> JoshuaRL: but i don't think its a problem
[18:11] <sileni> JoshuaRL: maybe it says that for all sold state drives
[18:11] <mattg> this problem didn't exist in hardy
[18:11] <default_> a package had a bad "corrupted" install and now it is stuck in there and keeps giving me an error when synaptic is used..  how do I clean that bad install out?

[18:13] <cyban> what menu should it go to once installed Pici or someone else?
[18:13] <Pici> cyban: I'm not sure, I'd imagine Applications>Accessories though
[18:13] <raghav634> i have tried installing it a million times, but nothing seems to be working..
[18:14] <JoshuaRL> raghav634: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[18:14] <terrestre> thanks Tymir
[18:14] <JoshuaRL> sileni: whats the exact error?  is there anymore than you pasted?
[18:15] <sileni> JoshuaRL: no its not an error.. its just there on the bottom above the Ok button
[18:15] <cyban> according to synaptic package manager its installed but I cant seem to find it
[18:15] <raghav634> i have tried installing the flash plugin many ways but eventually end up right where i start...
[18:16] <JoshuaRL> raghav634: have you restarted firefox?
[18:16] <LiraNuna> raghav634, 32bit or 64bit?
[18:16] <istvan_>  if i use DEFAULT in gtk-record my desktop I get a murmor, or a raspy sound that resembles me talking. how can i fix this?

[18:17] <Tymir> raghav634 : "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" doesn't work ?
[18:17] <raghav634> JoshuaRL: yeah, i have restarted the firefox as well as the computer
[18:17] <cyban> I think my install is bad, simple applications like cariro dont install properly and dont load the menu
[18:17] <istvan_> oh, and if i use audacity to record the sound, and use ffmpeg to combine the video and audio i get a 1 second lag per minute ish... why?
[18:17] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then type sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
[18:18] <LiraNuna> raghav634, wait for it to finish, then type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[18:18] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then start firefox and go to youtube. tell me if it works

[18:23] <cyban> anyone? I seem to be missing a menu or something, when I install new applications they dont show up anywhere in the menus
[18:24] <tech_geek> Anyone have experience in using a citrix client?
[18:24] <cyban> ok, I guess I write this off as a defunct OS
[18:24] <edi_99> hey how do I set an environement variable?
[18:25] <kitche> edi_99: export VAR <what you want the var to be>
[18:25] <pedahzur> tech_geek: I've used rdesktop from Linux.  Have you tried that?
[18:25] <brandonban6> cyban, what applications are you referring to? some applications do not have menus.
[18:25] <s0l1dsnak3123> _VIM_ , I clicked on that website that idiot "FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU" linked to (should've known better), I have a static IP, should I be worried?
[18:25] <brandonban6> nm........patience is not a virtue for some :)
[18:25] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, no
[18:25] <s0l1dsnak3123> LiraNuna, it said on that page that they were going to log my IP, etc.
[18:25] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, he's retarded and should be banned from here
[18:26] <s0l1dsnak3123> LiraNuna, Agreed.
[18:26] <Giant81> no they aren't going to worry about one hit
[18:26] <josh-me> anyone know how to hack gnome-main-menu to add an applications tab/menu like the regular gnome menu's ?
[18:26] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, so? I can make a php screen that looks exactly like that
[18:26] <Giant81> it's when the same IP seems to be hitting it constantly
[18:26] <edi_99> kitche: could you please be more specific, I'm kinda new tu ubuntu
[18:26] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, it will "log" as wel
[18:26] <s0l1dsnak3123> hmm ok
[18:26] <tech_geek> pedahzur I haven't no
[18:26] <churl> hello again everyone! Audio is muting after restart (AlsaMixer shows that "PCM" is muted after each restart)
[18:26] <bingoxXx> as I login to a ubuntu machine it says couldn't find /home/user directory and sends me to /, so how to set it to /home/user if I do not have the root priviledges?
[18:26] <LiraNuna> edi_99, just install java and you should be fine
[18:26] <Mood> is there a way to get "apt-get install X" to show the current version of the installed app X?
[18:26] <edi_99> LiraNuna: I'm pretty sure Java is already installed
[18:27] <LiraNuna> edi_99, so you can skip the "JAVA_HOME" step
[18:27] <daftykins> yes Mood though i can't remember the format of the command
[18:27] <daftykins> it's something like "apt-get showpkg blah"
[18:27] <Mood> "apt-get --version install X" only shows version of "apt-get"
[18:27] <LiraNuna> Mood, apt-cache policy X
[18:27] <LiraNuna> no need for sudo
[18:27] <Mood> LiraNuna: excellent, thanks LiraNuna and daftykins
[18:27] <edi_99> LiraNuna: but then, if I run the script, nothing happens
[18:28] <LiraNuna> edi_99, what game is it
[18:28] <LiraNuna> did you check that it's not in the repositories?
[18:28] <pedahzur> tech_geek: I've had a lot of success using that to connect to Windows terminal servers, you might give that a try.
[18:28] <edi_99> LiraNuna: emm.. it's kind of a poker analyzer or something like that... not a game actualy; http://www.javaflair.com/pp/download/#Unix_Installation
[18:28] <JoshuaRL> sileni: did you use round numbers?  idk really, gparted is supposed to round to cylinder heads to avoid that
[18:29] <_VIM_> pedahzur:  he left
[18:29] <pedahzur> _VIM_: thanks.
[18:29] <LiraNuna> edi_99, ./run.sh doesn't work?
[18:30] <daftykins> "chmod +x blah.sh" then "./blah.sh"
[18:30] <edi_99> LiraNuna: the computer seems to engage a process, but nothing really happens
[18:30] <LiraNuna> edi_99, liranuna@monster:~/Desktop/PokerProphesier_v1.0.0/bin$ ./run.sh  Testing $JAVA_HOME: ...failed!
[18:30] <LiraNuna> seems like it's custom
[18:31] <edi_99> LiraNuna: what does that mean?
[18:31] <LiraNuna> edi_99, hold on
[18:31] <daftykins> what do you get if you type "echo $JAVA_HOME" ?
[18:31] <LiraNuna> oh wow
[18:31] <LiraNuna> that whole script is just bad
[18:31] <oCean_> edi_99: when JAVA_HOME is set, it runs just fine

[18:32] <LiraNuna> edi_99,
[18:32] <daftykins> can you get away with setting it as "."  Thank you very much for your help
[18:33] <LiraNuna> raghav634, are you sure firefox is closed?
[18:34] <akincer1> daftykins: I'm connecting from another computer on my local network. I'm using port 3306
[18:34] <LiraNuna> raghav634, if you got multi-desktop, firefox might be there somewhere
[18:34] <LiraNuna> edi_99, no problem, the developer just made it complicated for nothing
[18:34] <daftykins> pretty sure the default configured port on ubuntu is 0 for the built in remote desktop, unless you've changed it?
[18:34] <LiraNuna> port 0?
[18:34] <constantine_> hey does anybody know how I can get my virtual desktops back, I can't get more than one row
[18:34] <raghav634> LiraNuna: yup, it was closed when i installed flash....
[18:35] <LiraNuna> the remote desktop port in ubuntu is default VNC - 5900
[18:35] <astrobear> what does what does "echo -e "\007" | sudo tee /dev/tty10" do?"
[18:35] <akincer1> This is MySQL I'm talkinga bout
[18:35] <LiraNuna> raghav634, type killall firefox
[18:35] <heatmzzr> I'm trying to access a network which is winblows based. I can see the other machines on the network but i get an error "unable to mount location, failed to receive share list from server" any suggestions.. I used to be able to access files, now I cant...????
[18:35] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then do what I told you again
[18:35] <daftykins> that's not default LiraNuna , that's what happens when you tick the box and tell it to be 5900 on the advanced page
[18:35] <constantine_> I meant that I can't get a second row of "workspaces"
[18:35] <LiraNuna> daftykins, there is no such thing as port 0...
[18:36] <daftykins> yes there is.
[18:36] <LiraNuna> besides, you'd need root access for ports <1024
[18:36] <daftykins> TCP/UDP ports go from 0 to 65535
[18:36] <LiraNuna> Port 0 is officially a reserved port in TCP/IP networking, meaning that it should not be used for any TCP or UDP network communications.
[18:36] <Acedip> how can i send a private message to a machine on lan ??
[18:36] <daftykins> LiraNuna, here's the deal, i've used a VNC client on a PC to connect to an Ubuntu host by specifying IP_address:0 and it's worked before ;)
[18:37] <LiraNuna> daftykins, you were running root desktop then, congrats
[18:37] <Pici> daftykins: When dealing with VNC, that usually means screen 0, not port 0
[18:37] <kitche> daftykins: :0 is not a port it's means screen 0
[18:37] <daftykins> no i wasn't running root desktop
[18:37] <LiraNuna> haha
[18:37] <LiraNuna> now I get the confusion
[18:37] <LiraNuna> daftykins, read above
[18:37] <raghav634> LiraNuna: it says no process killed..
[18:37] <daftykins> no no no
[18:37] <LiraNuna> raghav634, hmm
[18:37] <daftykins> look at remote desktop general tab
[18:38] <LiraNuna> raghav634, sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
[18:38] <daftykins> it's very bad notation for them to use :0 and not mean a port
[18:38] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then download http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[18:38] <raghav634> LiraNuna: yeah doing it all over again...
[18:38] <Acedip> how can i send a private message to a machine on lan ??
[18:38] <LiraNuna> raghav634, just remove it, then install the deb I gave you above
[18:39] <sb6789> hi all.  new to linux.  hopefully someone can help.  i have a bluetooth dongle with no documentation.  is there a command in terminal to interrogate all usb devices so i can hunt for a driver?  many thanks.
[18:39] <daftykins> "psusb" sb6789
[18:39] <LiraNuna> sb6789, lsusb
[18:39] <daftykins> oops
[18:39] <daftykins> lsusb
[18:40] <daftykins> i still argue this statement :P
[18:40] <sb6789> many thanks! Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
[18:40] <daftykins> "Users can view your desktop using this command: vinagre hostname:0"
[18:40] <daftykins> then if you look at "man vinagre"

[18:41] <dinesh372> how can i access gcc library
[18:42] <Dreamglider-> Can anyone help me to setup dual monitor's, im using 8.04lts, the grapic card is an ati radeon x1400.
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, gcc library? you mean C/C++ standard library?
[18:42] <dinesh372> liranuna : yes
[18:42] <daftykins> install 8.10 ^_^
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, normally?
[18:42] <raghav634> LiraNuna: when i try to install it says error: a later version already installed
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf(...); }
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, !?
[18:43] <dinesh372> LiraNuna : yes
[18:43] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, I'm confused
[18:43] <dinesh372> LiraNuna:actually i want to see the contents of a header file in gcc
[18:44] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, that is more specific - headers are located in /usr/include
[18:45] <dinesh372> LiraNuna : how can i get there
[18:45] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, open up nautilus and browse there?
[18:45] <dinesh372> LiraNuna: what is nautilus
[18:46] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, Places -> Home
[18:46] <mahfiaz> dinesh372, default file manager
[18:46] <C-S-B> nautilus  is the file browser
[18:46] <LiraNuna> then use "UP" button
[18:46] <LiraNuna> until you can't anymore
[18:46] <LiraNuna> then choose "usr" then choose "include"
[18:46] <fosco__> wow...
[18:47] <vishesh> Hey I just checked and ubuntu shows that I have openGl v 1.3 installed. Is there any way I can install ver 2.0 as my graphic card currently supports it ?
[18:47] <daftykins> what would be the point?
[18:47] <daftykins> you running some latest games under Ubuntu? ;)
[18:47] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you got what OpenGL version your card supports - opengl 1.3 is the version in the development library
[18:48] <bluespuke> Hi ppl
[18:48] <vishesh> No I'm trying to learn how to use OpenGL (programming) and I would like to learn v2.0
[18:48] <dinesh372> LiraNuna: thanks
[18:48] <bluespuke> what's the standard suond server of intrepid?
[18:48] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you need to learn to import function
[18:48] <LiraNuna> vishesh, even windows doesn't have "opengl 2.0" includes
[18:48] <daftykins> intrepid runs pulseaudio on top of ALSA afaik
[18:48] <vishesh> LiraNuna: What do you mean import ? Oh ...
[18:49] <alexmar3007> hi, the panel at the top is disappeared, can you help me please?
[18:49] <LiraNuna> vishesh, get function address from glx
[18:49] <fosco__> alexmar3007, can you open a terminal?
[18:49] <LiraNuna> glXGetFunctionAddress() or something, I don't remember
[18:49] <C-S-B> alexmar3007, just right click add panel
[18:49] <LiraNuna> vishesh, even windows and mac needs to do it
[18:49] <C-S-B> *left click
[18:50] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Uhm I don't understand, where and how do I use this function ?
[18:50] <LiraNuna> vishesh, start learning opengl
[18:50] <LiraNuna> when time comes, you'll be taught to import functions from openg 2.0
[18:51] <alexmar3007> i can't add any new panel
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, 1.3 means what include version you have, it's still possible to use 2.0
[18:51] <sileni> hey guys im trying to partition using the installer for ubuntu 8.10 but i don't see resize anywhere... im under manual thats the right place correct?
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, in windows openGL version is 1.1, you see no one complains
[18:51] <vishesh> LiraNuna: uhm .. oh okie. I'm using the Red book .. will that be ok ? Oh .. this is just somewhat confusing !!
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, the red book will teach you that
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, it's at the eeeend of it
[18:51] <LiraNuna> let me fetch it
[18:52] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Alright, Thanks a ton !! :-)
[18:52] <bluespuke> daftykins: and how should i configure ubuntu to use it? my system sounds aren't working anymore since i tryed a headset with c-media sound card :(
[18:52] <josh-l> can anyone help me figure out how to import (this particular) svn code: https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/gnome-main-menu/trunk
[18:52] <daftykins> hit alt+f2 then type "gnome-terminal" and hit enter alexmar3007
[18:52] <LiraNuna> vishesh, what version is your red book?
[18:52] <daftykins> did audio work from that, bluespuke  ?
[18:52] <vijay> does any one know ,how can i fix font for apps instaled through wine. when i install something using wine the font seemed to bedistored
[18:53] <bluespuke> yes before the headset everything was fine
[18:53] <daftykins> try installing the package "msttcorefonts" vijay
[18:53] <vijay> ok
[18:53] <daftykins> not sure if it'll help but it's a start
[18:53] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Fifth Edition ... Version 2
[18:53] <LiraNuna> vishesh, mine's Sixth, it's in chapter 14
[18:53] <alexmar3007> daftykins: where have i to hit the command?
[18:54] <sileni> C-S-B: halp
[18:54] <LiraNuna> don't jump into it yet, I can guarantee you that 1.3 means totally NOTHING. you can safely code and you'll be able to use up to 2.1
[18:54] <daftykins> pressing Alt+F2 should bring up a dialogue box for "run command" ?
[18:54] <lo127> anyone ever mounted a truecrypt volume from the terminal?
[18:56] <bluespuke> or is there any way to 'reset' the sound settings to the system defaults?
[18:56] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Alright. One last question : will I be able to create textures which are not to the power of 2 ?
[18:57] <mahfiaz> bluespuke, your personal ones?
[18:57] <LiraNuna> vishesh, sure - though I advise you to check for the extension before you do so
[18:57] <LiraNuna> vishesh, the red and orange book will help
[18:57] <bluespuke> arf, not just settings, i mean the sound server settings, wich server to use and that stuff
[18:57] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you're using ogl 2.1, NOT 1.3
[18:58] <vishesh> LiraNuna: But the headers ? Oh ok I'll just take you word for it !!
[18:58] <LiraNuna> vishesh, 1.3 is the version of the headers, to check runtime version see glGetString(GL_VERSION)
[18:59] <skellar> Hi all
[18:59] <lo127> truecrypt anyone?
[18:59] <LiraNuna> vishesh, try printf("%s\n", glGetString(GL_VERSION));
[18:59] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you'll get 2.1 or even better
[19:00] <Awsoonn> ping MacSlow
[19:00] <daftykins> but did the headset work alright when you connected it bluespuke ?
[19:01] <bluespuke> daftykins: no i had some problems with it and a tuto  told me to use alsa with it
[19:01] <daftykins> ah right
[19:01] <vishesh> LiraNuna:  Tried it .. .v 1.4 Mesa 7.2 !! This sucks !!
[19:01] <LiraNuna> vishesh, mesa? do you have your drivers installed
[19:01] <don> question, i just did an auto update, just random packages.... im using 8.04 and my nvidia drivers have vanished
[19:02] <Guest72593> i cannot enable them in hardware drivers as they are no longer there
[19:02] <Guest72593> my xorg.conf is pretty bare as well
[19:02] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Yea I do. I have an Intel G35 graphic card. The drviers are installed but there is nothing about that in xorg.
[19:02] <LiraNuna> vishesh, does glxgears work
[19:03] <nageltass> hjälp
[19:03] <vishesh> LiraNuna: and there is the fact that even simple OpenGl Apllication (rendering a box) fickers. Yes glxGears works fine with a framerae of about 500. But the screen flickers a little bit !!
[19:03] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you're using mesa - mesa is a software renderer
[19:03] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you need to install your drivers
[19:04] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Uhh Any idea how to change that ... They are installed !!
[19:04] <sileni> (02:03:56 PM) sileni: hey guys xubuntu is lighter than the normal ubuntu 8.10 right.. . and later i would be able to do anything that normal ubuntu can ?
[19:04] <sileni> (02:04:04 PM) sileni: mainly just school work
[19:04] <daftykins> probably sileni yeah
[19:05] <vishesh> LiraNuna: I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel ... that is the only one available !!
[19:05] <daftykins> but then normal ubuntu is capable of running on pretty low spec too, so either should be fine
[19:05] <LiraNuna> vishesh, no need to add "!!" after everly line
[19:05] <_VIM_> vishesh:  Are the explination points necessary!! It kind of sounds demanding!! ;
[19:05] <_VIM_> :)
[19:05] <LiraNuna> vishesh, I don't know enough of Intel drivers
[19:06] <LiraNuna> does Intel G35 even supports gl 2.0?
[19:06] <Steph1en> question, i just installed ubuntu on an old thinkpad i1200. it boots to a black screen. google turned up an answer: "You should add following boot-options: vga=792 acpi=force irqpoll". How do i do that?
[19:06] <vishesh> LiraNuna: : That wasn't my intention .. Just somewhat a reflex. I tend to use exclamation point excessively. And yea it does.
[19:06] <daftykins> excessive punctuation genuinely defines age range of the offendor ;)
[19:06] <vishesh> LiraNuna:  see http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/g35/g35-overview.htm
[19:07] <daftykins> offender too
[19:07] <xnox> I'm going to install ubuntu on another computer. I want to install same set of packages I have installed now. How can I generate a long apt-get string with all the packages I have currently installed.
[19:07] <DJones> !clone | xnox
[19:07] <LiraNuna> vishesh, was there already
[19:07] <daftykins> xnox all the packages should be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:07] <arvind_khadri> Steph1en, put them in your menu.lst in the kernel line
[19:08] <crazyryan_a> Is there anyway I can pause a zip operation? Like I'm running zip * and it's using up a lot of server CPU so can I pause it for a while some how?
[19:08] <Steph1en> arvind_khadri, so do that and reinstall to the laptop?
[19:08] <Keroman> Wow, lots of users. :P
[19:08] <lastent> hi, which is a good CAD program?
[19:08] <arvind_khadri> Steph1en, ya do that and reinstall grub
[19:09] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Any clues as to what I could do now ?
[19:09] <_VIM_> lastent: rumour has it there really are no 3D CAD programs but there are a few good 2d ones, I believe qcad is one of them...
[19:09] <LiraNuna> vishesh, research about G35 ubuntu drivers, the xserver-xorg-video-intel is not the right one
[19:09] <_VIM_> for linux i meant
[19:10] <Keroman> If anybody's got the time and the know-how I could use some help getting wi-fi running on Ubuntu 8.10.  I'm in no hurry, so if you're busy I can wait.
[19:10] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Alright, Thanks for your help. :-)
[19:10] <lastent> thanks _VIM_
[19:10] <daftykins> what's your wireless hardware?
[19:10] <WorldBFree> how can i boot 8.04.1 without the dvd?  ive done it before with other distros
[19:11] <daftykins> boot a LiveCD without the disc? hahaha
[19:11] <zenwryly> Somehow I just did something so that Control-s no longer invokes isearch in my shells.  This is true for a freshly launched gnome-terminal or an xterm and has persisted past a reboot.  It worked before.  Any idea what I might have done?
[19:12] <Keroman> daftykins: It's a laptop with a built-in wi-fi card, the Broadcom 4306.  I followed the instructions for installing ndiswrapper, ndisgtk, and ndiswrapper utils and using those to run the Windows drivers but it's still not going anywhere for me.
[19:12] <xnox> daftykins: well some of them are in apt cache but i did do autoclean not long time ago....
[19:12] <daftykins> ah ok xnox, fair enough
[19:12] <daftykins> last time i used a laptop with broadcom wireless it suggested downloading something Keroman and i got it working from that, some script and a firmware download
[19:13] <daftykins> i would've thought ndiswrapper wasn't the only option
[19:13] <WorldBFree> daftykins its actually quite possible.  i have it downloaded but i dont have any blank cds lying around
[19:13] <maalicious> hulloa all!!
[19:14] <Keroman> daftykins: Well I don't have any internet connection on the laptop right now, just my desktop, which I'm on.  I installed the ndiswrapper stuff from the Live CD I burnt, but any other files I've had to download on the desktop and transfer with my USB drive.
[19:14] <daftykins> yeah that's how i got this laptop working too Keroman
[19:14] <WorldBFree> i assume its some sort of combination of extracting initrd and vmlinuz or something and adjusting grub accordingly
[19:14] <daftykins> oh you've already got a Linux distro installed, WorldBFree  ?
[19:14] <Vito84> can anyone help me? How can i log on to my ubuntu with root rights?
[19:14] <Keroman> Alright, well I'll keep looking around to see what I can do.
[19:14] <daftykins> Vito84, login as user then type "sudo su"
[19:15] <WorldBFree> yeah, i basically just want to mount the image to boot
[19:15] <daftykins> Keroman, with the one i got working a message came up during boot saying what to do
[19:15] <daftykins> so try a fresh boot and check out "dmesg"
[19:15] <paul68> when I want to install the nfs server on Hardy I get this error messages can someone help me out here? this is the message I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/126880/
[19:15] <Vito84> thx dafty
[19:15] <Keroman> By a fresh boot you mean just restart?  And how do I use dmesg?
[19:16] <daftykins> open a terminal and type "dmesg" or "dmesg | tail"
[19:16] <daftykins> and yeah clean boot
[19:16] <Keroman> Okay, shutting down now.
[19:17] <Rave1_> WorldBFree,  the software Unetbootin claims to allow a frugal install and boot from a image on a HD I have not tryed it myself
[19:17] <Vito84> I still cant change some files...??? it says im not the owner so i cant change it
[19:17] <DJones> Keroman: Does the laptop also have a wired connection? If so, all I did to get my broadcom 4306 working was to connect to the router by cable, open up System, Administration, Hardware Drivers and the 4306 chipset was detected, then it automatically downloaded fwcutter and the correct driver, disconnect the cable and reboot and it worked perfectly
[19:17] <daftykins> what are you trying to do Vito84 ?
[19:18] <daftykins> yeah i think that's what i did DJones
[19:18] <Vito84> im trying to change epson.conf a sane scanner tool file but it wont let me change that file
[19:18] <daftykins> there was a message during boot time of what to get
[19:18] <jrib> paul68: first step is to check for open bugs.  Have you searched bugs.ubuntu.com yet?
[19:18] <Keroman> DJones: I might just have to try that if this doesn't work.  I just don't have my router near any computers so if I plug in there my only internet connection will be the laptop I'm working on.
[19:18] <daftykins> program might be open that's using the file Vito84
[19:18] <paul68> jrib: no I didn't
[19:19] <jrib> paul68: ok, see if anything is there
[19:19] <livingdaylight> i have issues with Istanbul
[19:19] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: have you tried onfiguring the printer using Cups?
[19:19] <paul68> jrib:  as you can see I get the error messages on configuring stuff
[19:19] <WorldBFree> well i would prefer to just edit grub and use the proper boot files.  im not sure what ubuntu requires though
[19:20] <Vito84> not trying to get the printer working it works fine but its a printer and scanner thats why im tryin to get the scanning part work
[19:20] <paul68> jrib: since this is the first time I ran into this problem I ran straight out here tried to remove and reinstall but no such luck
[19:20] <oser1> hi there, i am running windows at the moment and would like to install ubuntu 9.04 alpha 5 off a 8GB usb stick I have
[19:20] <oser1> what's the best way to go about this?
[19:20] <_VIM_> !jaunty | oser1
[19:20] <daftykins> put the USB down and get a CD-R :)
[19:20] <livingdaylight> wanted to do a screenlet and so dl Istanbul... When launching there is a red bottom in top panel. I click it to start and to finish but when i click on it to finish it changes color to grey but nothing happens.... There is a square box which says it saving it.... but its been there for 10mins now.
[19:20] <Vito84> thought as root i could change and do anything on my machine
[19:20] <Keroman> oser1: First make sure your computer's bios will allow booting from a USB drive
[19:21] <livingdaylight> I've purge-removed it and reinstalled it but it acts the same
[19:21] <oser1> Keroman, I am on an apple macbook
[19:22] <paul68> jrib: can you guide me through please
[19:22] <Keroman> Ah, alright, daftykins, it looks like it's saying to download the correct drivers.  I'll go hook up wired and let it do its thing.
[19:22] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: try sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop then try editing. how are you trying to edit the file?
[19:22] <daftykins> cool Keroman  :)
[19:22] <oser1> i just installed ubuntu 8.10 onto a sony viao with no difficulties using the usb stick but for my own laptop i'm happy running development versions
[19:22] <sileni> Keroman: you just type dmesg in a terminal
[19:22] <daftykins> was that in dmesg?
[19:22] <Vito84> text editor
[19:22] <Keroman> daftykins: Yeah.
[19:22] <libertarian4life> Iam adding a new hard drive, Im wondering how to partition a few more gigs for linux, while leaving the rest for windows..
[19:22] <_VIM_> Vito84:  a good one like VIM correct?
[19:23] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: using sudo or gksudo or whatever rights while editing?
[19:23] <jrib> paul68: I'll help you troubleshoot it if there's no open bug on it.  Did you search the tracker?
[19:23] <daftykins> libertarian4life, apt-get install gparted
[19:23] <Keroman> Thanks for the help guys.  I'll be back if I'm running into any more problems and can't figure them out with a google search.

[19:26] <sileni> (02:14:31 PM) sileni: i bought the hp mini 1000 and it came preloaded with xp

I have 15.6 gb total disk space and xp already takes up 6 GB so i thought i would let xp have 8gb and the rest would go for ubuntu. Can someone help me get through this ?

[19:27] <vimpulse> !cn
[19:27] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: ctrl+x to save when finished.
[19:27] <vimpulse> theunixgeek:  try asking there ^^
[19:27] <Ienorand> sileni: in what way does it complain?
[19:27] <mahfiaz> cabl3n3k3, use google: http://www.linux.com/feature/56128
[19:28] <theunixgeek> vimpulse: I'm not sure how to ask the question in Chinese though :P I'll use Google Translate ;)
[19:28] <vimpulse> theunixgeek:  try asking in english there.
[19:28] <paul68> jrib: I also found bug 213444
[19:28] <mahfiaz> hunt577, what computer it is?
[19:28] <theunixgeek> vimpulse: I did
[19:28] <theunixgeek> How do I convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese within PDF documents?
[19:28] <Ienorand> sileni: tried the manual partition config option?
[19:28] <cabl3n3k3> Well clearly, not all software is made equal. I was asking for some opinions.  But thanks.
[19:28] <theunixgeek> vimpulse: is that not in English? :P
[19:28] <sileni> lenorand: yes
[19:28] <vimpulse> theunixgeek:  it is.  :)
[19:28] <theunixgeek> lol
[19:29] <sileni> lenorand, it just won't let me resize more than 8 mb
[19:29] <libertarian4life> what file extention (Like NTFS) should i format my extra hard drive too, so that i can save/install programs on it?
[19:29] <sam555> hello all!
[19:29] <hunt577> mahfiaz, its an HP G60
[19:29] <hunt577> lap top
[19:29] <sam555> has anyone installed lamp on ubuntu?
[19:29] <sam555> if so, how does one create a db
[19:29] <dieselsmoke> libertarian4life: ext3
[19:29] <sam555> apparently i need to have a password
[19:29] <erUSUL> !lamp | sam555
[19:30] <erUSUL> libertarian4life: for linux standar is ext3
[19:30] <dieselsmoke> Question, I never use them but do you use gksu OR gksudo? anyone
[19:30] <_VIM_> gksudo
[19:30] <erUSUL> dieselsmoke: they are the same thing one is a symlink to the other
[19:30] <vimpulse> sam555:  why do you want lamp?
[19:30] <_VIM_> but i think they're symlinked
[19:30] <dieselsmoke> thanks _VIM_
[19:30] <glitsj16> cabl3n3k3: there's a very recent review of RAW tools for linux at http://darrenyates.com.au/?p=705 that might be informative
[19:30] <dieselsmoke> erUSUL: roger that, tanks.
[19:30] <daftykins> libertarian4life> what file extention (Like NTFS) should i format my extra hard drive too, so that i can save/install programs on it?
[19:30] <vimpulse> cabl3n3k3:  raw photos?
[19:30] <daftykins> file SYSTEM, not extension
[19:31] <daftykins>  a file extension is the letters after the . after a filename
[19:31] <cabl3n3k3> Yes, thanks.
[19:31] <libertarian4life> thanks
[19:31] <Ienorand> Is ubuntu documentation down atm?
[19:31] <craigbass1976> Anyone ever printed to one of those epson cd printers from ubuntu?
[19:31] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  i haven't.  why would it be difficult?
[19:31] <libertarian4life> last question- create as "primary" or "extended?
[19:31] <churl> I just installed kde desktop environment with my default xfce.   do i want my default display manager to be gdm or kdm?
[19:32] <theunixgeek> churl: your choice
[19:32] <mahfiaz> cabl3n3k3, I suggest at least trying f-spot, this is pretty good for archiving purposes
[19:32] <theunixgeek> churl: gdm is the GNOME login screen; KDM - KDE's
[19:32] <cabl3n3k3> glitsj16: thanks for that link, very helpful
[19:32] <theunixgeek> churl: I prefer GDM, but that's personal
[19:32] <hunt577> mahfiaz, 8.10 loads very oddly...the top of the screen has to load to the bottom and then it displays properly, really odd...but its unbearable to use because of the slowness
[19:32] <churl> theunixgeek: thanks, got it
[19:32] <dieselsmoke> Ienorand: looks like they're overloaded, so yes they're down.
[19:32] <hunt577> 8.04 works fine...no lag or slowness, yet that stretched out screen I can't deal with
[19:32] <craigbass1976> vimpulse, epson seems determined to thwart anything but xp or vista...  I'm in the process of screeching at it, but thought I'd ask for a quick fix before I dug too far
[19:33] <glitsj16> cabl3n3k3: you're welcome, have to look into the same topic soon, had it bookmarked, enjoy
[19:33] <sam555> vimpulse: i've already installed LAMP
[19:33] <sam555> just having trouble creating a db in mysql
[19:33] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  did you already buy the printer?  from where?
[19:34] <vimpulse> sam555:  why do you want LAMP?  what are you gonna run on it?
[19:34] <sam555> i'm running a db on mysql
[19:34] <sam555> not using the other stuff atm
[19:34] <craigbass1976> vimpulse, I didn't buy it, setting it up for a friend.
[19:34] <craigbass1976> vimpulse, but it's here and paid for...
[19:34] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  where and when did they buy it?
[19:34] <craigbass1976> The other day, and I don't know.  I imagine wal mart or something
[19:35] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  try asking in #cups.  if it doesn't work, return it to the store and write an email to Epson about why you returned it.
[19:35] <Ienorand> sileni: So if I understand you right you can only resize current XP partition to 6.008 GB from original 6 GB? Are there currently any other partitons on the drive?
[19:35] <Vito84> i can edit the file now. it worked with sudo nano. but why cant i edit it with the text editor?
[19:35] <mahfiaz> hunt577, what exactly is slow? moving windows? opening files? starting programs? typing text in openoffice?
[19:35] <AJC_Z0> Sound stopped working after I played through my laptop speakers, then closed it and plugged in my headphones. Suggestions for getting sound back without leaving my current Gnome session? Ubuntu 8.10 desktop using pulseaudio with no previous audio problems
[19:35] <daftykins> you probably ran it wrong Vito84
[19:36] <mathieu_> Hello
[19:37] <mathieu_> I screwed up in the middle of an upgrade to jaunty... now I have an hybrid system that can not install (stuck at some python dependencies it seems)
[19:37] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: contradicting statement, can you explain what doesn't work/?
[19:37] <AJC_Z0> Volume is up for everything: pulseaudio bar in alsamixer, all sliders in gnome-volume-control and the headphones are plugged into the right jack
[19:37] <mathieu_> any clue how to fix?
[19:38] <hunt577> mahfiaz, everything is slow...any application or program that I open has a bad lag, you can even see the cursor pause because of the lag
[19:38] <glitsj16> AJC_Z0: have you tried restarting the pulseaudio daemon yet ?
[19:38] <dieselsmoke> mathieu_: any older kernels in the grub menu?
[19:38] <AfterDeath> Hi, I'm working with a fresh ubuntu install, with the only change that I know of being that all recent updates were installed. When I go to open openoffice writer, all of the menus/dialogs are broken. It shows the text for all the menu items *really* briefly, and then it disappears
[19:39] <AfterDeath> When the text disappears, the underscores still remain, but that's all.
[19:39] <AfterDeath> similarly, when I go to the print dialog (for example), it shows it, but no text - just underscores
[19:40] <AJC_Z0> glitsj16: Yes, I did, with "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart". No difference
[19:40] <daftykins> try creating a new user and see if the problem exists with that account too AfterDeath
[19:40] <mathieu_> dieselsmoke: this is not a kernel issue. Im currently on this machine but can not apt-get anything (nor can run the recommended dpkg --configure -a command)
[19:40] <surgy> how do i make my desktop into a terminal? anyone know of any tutorials?
[19:41] <AfterDeath> daftykins: I tried rm -rf ~/.openoffice* (which deleted the openoffice preferences folder), but that didn't fix it
[19:41] <dieselsmoke> mathieu_: i was going to suggest booting a previous kernel to troubleshoot.
[19:41] <daftykins> yeah i would've suggested that
[19:41] <daftykins> but decided not to
[19:41] <fosco__> surgy, what? "make my desktop into a terminal"?
[19:41] <glitsj16> AJC_Z0: not sure if i get your specific issue after re-reading your former entrees though .. you want sound from both external speakers and headphones simultaneously ?
[19:42] <AfterDeath> I'm wondering if it's missing a font or somesuch
[19:42] <mathieu_> dieselsmoke: im remote... plus the kernel is fine, its the apt/dpkg database that is corrupt
[19:42] <Golgata> hi everybody... anyone knows how "add/remove software" can disappear from my menu?
[19:42] <surgy> fosco_, as in make a conpletely transparent console over my desktop automaticly at startup
[19:42] <vimpulse> Golgata:  dunno.  but you can start it manually:  sudo gnome-app-install
[19:43] <AJC_Z0> glitsj16: No, I want sound to work again, as I have none through either speakers or headphones
[19:43] <dieselsmoke> mathieu_: there are ways to fix that, ask about fixing it. i don't recall the bot factoid.
[19:43] <Huufarted> Question for any frequent FTP users out there:  Is there a way to send or receive one single file using a single ftp command similar to how rsync can take a single command?
[19:43] <daftykins> "man ftp" ? ;)
[19:44] <wikzo> I want to install these icons in Ubuntu 8.10: http://mathilde.deviantart.com/art/Sketchy-icons-17987739 How do I do it? If I try to add the folder to the theme manager, it says that it is not a legal theme...
[19:44] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  try lftp or ncftpget or ncftpput or gftp-text
[19:44] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  the nc utils are part of ncftp.
[19:44] <Golgata> vimpulse: thank you, i'll try this first... maybe a clue: after one of the last updates, my mainuser was just in his own group, had to set his groups manually with a install cd... afterwards, the "add/remove software" thing had disappeared, but though im in most groups now, it hasnt come back :D
[19:44] <arvind_khadri> !frostwire > me
[19:44] <mmrnhrmn> can anyone tell me if there is a package for ubuntu to stand up an RFC-3161 Time Stamp Authority?
[19:45] <Huufarted> vimpulse: thanks!
[19:45] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  you're welcome.
[19:45] <Steph1en> ok, i just installed ubuntu on an old thinkpad. i get to the ubuntu loading bar and then i just get a blank screen. :/
[19:45] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  why do you use ftp?  it is insecure.
[19:45] <NDS|Brandon> :| can anyone tell me why my dell wont boo itnto ubuntu :|
[19:45] <Steph1en> i'm think the resolution is too high?
[19:45] <_VIM_> ty vimpulse, I was gonna say the same ;)
[19:45] <BLTnoTomato> how can I map to a windows shared network folder?
[19:45] <vimpulse> !linuxhelpask > NDS|Brandon
[19:45] <vimpulse> !gq > NDS|Brandon
[19:46] <Huufarted> vimpulse: we work over VPN connections so security isn't an issue with these transmissions
[19:46] <cabl3n3k3> Is there a way to filter out all of the "This User" has left the room spam in pidgin irc?
[19:46] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  ah.
[19:46] <Chris___> been trying for 3 days to get ubuntu added as dual boot on raid-1 mirrored xp drive.  it was working last night
[19:46] <daftykins> BLTnoTomato, "sudo mount -t cifs //IP address/share /place/to/mount/to/"
[19:46] <vimpulse> sileni:  any luck?
[19:46] <amikrop> How is this method called? : You insert a usb stick to your laptop, and you have internet connection through a mobile phone network.
[19:46] <BLTnoTomato> daftykins, thanks
[19:47] <Chris___> something happened and now it's trying to load stage2 from hd(3,4) whereas all grub should load from (hd0,4)
[19:47] <vimpulse> amikrop:  it depends which country you are in
[19:47] <amikrop> Because I want to search for this method + ubuntu
[19:47] <Chris___> can anybody advise how to resolve?
[19:47] <NDS|Brandon> Ok, I have a Dell Optiplex GX260, and I get an error with my I/O
[19:47] <amikrop> in google

[19:47] <mahfiaz> hunt577, does dmesg show anything strange? is there a program eating cpu time?
[19:47] <NDS|Brandon> I have tried liek 6 distros
[19:47] <_VIM_> !enter
[19:47] <glitsj16> AJC_Z0: fair enough :) .. i'd browse the forums and re-check all pulseaudio settings with guidance from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[19:47] <hunt577> mahfiaz, I only run ubuntu through the livecd for now, so no
[19:47] <wikzo> I want to install these icons in Ubuntu 8.10: http://mathilde.deviantart.com/art/Sketchy-icons-17987739 How do I do it? If I try to add the folder to the theme manager, it says that it is not a legal theme...
[19:47] <Golgata> oh, another thing: when clicking "system >> administration >> users and groups" i am told i dont have the right to access. another idea? on which group does this feature depend?
[19:48] <hunt577> mahfiaz, initially I thought it was just the livecd, but when I installed it last night the lag was still there so its not the livecd.  I am just using the livecd for now
[19:48] <AJC_Z0> glitsj16: Thanks for your help
[19:48] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  does Windows work?
[19:48] <_VIM_> Golgata: did you hit "unlock" button
[19:48] <Golgata> _VIM_: which unlock button?
[19:48] <hunt577> mahfiaz, I also tried burning another downloaded copy but that didn't seem to work, I even tried CD-R and DVD+R to see if that was the issue
[19:48] <mmrnhrmn> anyone have any idea about the Time Stamp Authority question?
[19:48] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  2.  does your CD drive work perfectly?
[19:48] <NDS|Brandon> :| Ok here goes, I have a Dell Optiples GX260, with 1.4 GB of ram and 10 GB alloted to Linux. I have tried like 6 distros and I always get the following error, "Buffer I/O eror on Device SR0, Logical Block 357794"
[19:49] <_VIM_> Golgata: on the Users GUI
[19:49] <_VIM_> you should see a "unlock" button
[19:49] <hunt577> mahfiaz, and for some reason 8.04 works, but has a nasty stretched screen.  Maybe HP just doesn't want me having anything other than Vista, LOL
[19:49] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  what is SR0?
[19:49] <NDS|Brandon> Im not sure
[19:49] <NDS|Brandon> :|
[19:49] <jimdb_> NDS|Brandon: Most likely a faulty he'd
[19:50] <jimdb_> Hdd
[19:50] <amikrop> vimpulse, daftykins: ok, thank you
[19:50] <Golgata> _VIM_: sorry, i dont, but maybe im looking in the wrong place?
[19:50] <vimpulse> amikrop:  you're welcome
[19:50] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, have you run built-in bios tests?
[19:50] <NDS|Brandon> I did
[19:50] <NDS|Brandon> said everything was a ok
[19:50] <vimpulse> amikrop:  here in Canada they call it a "mobile Internet stick".
[19:50] <_VIM_> Golgata:  no it's on the Users Settings GUI,  System > Administration > Users And Groups
[19:50] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, interesting
[19:50] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  does Windwos work?
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> My CD ROM drive should work, although I will try anything if you think it will help, how can I get it without a CD ROM DRIVe
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> Yes WIndows Works perfectly
[19:51] <kindofabuzz> yes i know it's just in alpha, but is it possible to "upgrade" intrepid to jaunty?
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> Im on the PC right now
[19:51] <Acedip> how can i send private message to an ip on lan ??
[19:51] <jimdb_> Ndsibrandon fry with noacpi
[19:51] <daftykins> yes kindofabuzz
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> O.o What?
[19:51] <daftykins> run "gksudo update-manager -d" i think it is
[19:51] <jimdb_> Try*
[19:51] <Ienorand> sileni: Still there? What you could try doing is during install press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to drop to terminal, then run command "cat /proc/partitions" to list the partitions currently on the drive, this might give some hints. To get back to installer afterwards you use Ctrl+Alt+F7
[19:51] <nivalis> NDS|Brand, have you tried putting options libata=1 in /etc/modprobe.conf?
[19:51] <mrglinux> I installed virtualbox but now I could not remove it . it not in synaptic and with apt-get remove it could not find any package but virtualbox exists in menu and run
[19:51] <kindofabuzz> daftykins, ok thanks buddie
[19:51] <Acedip> and if the other machine is running windows
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> I have tried no options :|
[19:51] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  just leave it there :)
[19:51] <nivalis> libata dma=1*
[19:52] <NDS|Brandon> I am a LinuxNoob
[19:52] <amikrop> vimpulse: here, in Greece, they don't call it anything, just "Cosmote Internet On The Go" (the according provider's program)
[19:52] <Golgata> _VIM_: ok, again... after one of the last updates my main user had disappeared from mostly all groups, and i put him back in many groups but maybe not in all important ones... i cant even access "users and groups" now, and my "add/remove software" option has disappeared
[19:52] <mrglinux> vimpulse what do you mean?
[19:52] <hmw> please, someone pastebin the Intrepid file /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command
[19:52] <vimpulse> amikrop:  what is the name of the cellular modem USB stick they sell you?
[19:52] <Golgata> _VIM_: quite annoying :D
[19:52] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  why must you uninstall it?
[19:52] <mrglinux> I want to install new version
[19:52] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, when you tried, was it standard install, or alternative install
[19:52] <mrglinux> but when I want install it said conflict with that version
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> :s I put in the disk and hit install, it goes past the loading screen, gives me like 600 repetitions of this error, and stops doing anything
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> Standard
[19:53] <jimdb_> Ndsibrandon when do you get the message?
[19:53] <AfterDeath> any ideas? Openoffice isn't displaying any text in the menus.
[19:53] <amikrop> vimpulse: actually, it's not mine
[19:53] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  does this work?  sudo apt-get remove virtualbox.*
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> After the Loading screen, before the desktp
[19:53] <amikrop> vimpulse: I think the guy found a solution ;)
[19:53] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, try the alternative install
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> I tried that too
[19:53] <Supersaiyan_IV> i see
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> Same thing :|
[19:54] <jimdb_> Bad block on the hard drive?
[19:54] <Acedip> how can i send private message to an ip on lan ?? and if the other machine is running windows ??
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> It says my PC should be compatible
[19:54] <vimpulse> AfterDeath:  dunno.  OO.o uses a funny custom GUI library that no other apps use.  Try switching over to AbiWord or asking in #openoffice.org
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> I ddoubt its a bad block
[19:54] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, is the error always identical?
[19:54] <mrglinux> vimpulse yes it worked
[19:54] <AfterDeath> okay
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> well yes
[19:54] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  good :)
[19:54] <Pici> Acedip: How would you expect the message to come up on the windows computer?
[19:54] <jimdb_> You can't doubt you have to verify
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> it actually gives four lines in repetition
[19:54] <hmw> please, someone with a standard setup pastebin the file /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command of an 8.10
[19:54] <mrglinux> vimpulse thanks

[19:59] <nivalis> NDS|Brand, you can also install from a usb flash memory
[19:59] <NDS|Brandon> Really?
[19:59] <miik> jrgp, frostwire is not in repo either
[20:00] <Acedip> Pici, i want to send some text lines and just want the user to see it, in any possible ways, i dont know the options avialablle
[20:00] <Comrade-Sergei> miik its not opensource...
[20:00] <NDS|Brandon> I dont know if my BIOS supports that
[20:00] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, wikipedia says it is
[20:00] <NDS|Brandon> Booting from a USB
[20:00] <Comrade-Sergei> miik find me the source
[20:00] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LimeWire -- License 	GNU General Public License
[20:00] <Jarlen> miik: no, installing det linux version would deffinatly be to easy
[20:01] <Pici> Acedip: Theres no easy way to do that to a windows computer that I know of, perhaps the folks in ##windows can give you some ideas.
[20:01] <Comrade-Sergei> miik just because its under GPL doent necessarily mean theyve released the source
[20:01] <jrib> miik: go to frostwire's site.  There will be an ubuntu deb.
[20:01] <tvaughn> why does ubuntu 8.10 make my pc's internal sound beep and how can i disable it?
[20:01] <NDS|Brandon> Maybe its cause my CD was burned on XP
[20:01] <Jarlen> miik: especially since it's a .deb so you actually have to click it and click install for it to work
[20:01] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, cvs -d:pserver:guest@cvs.limewire.org:/cvs checkout limewire
[20:01] <Comrade-Sergei> miik, you should be able to compile from source then
[20:01] <Supersaiyan_IV> tvaughn, compiz has a system beep option
[20:01] <Supersaiyan_IV> tvaughn, but you'll need ccsm to access that
[20:01] <Acedip> Pici, they'd say they dont know how to that from a linux machine..
[20:01] <Golgata> are the groups a user is member of mentioned anywhere else than in /etc/groups?
[20:02] <tvaughn> Supersaiyan_IV, ccsm?
[20:02] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, but i dont want compile from source, i just want it to "just work"
[20:02] <daftykins> tvaughn, right click the speaker icon for sound in the system tray and select open volume control, click preferences and find "Beep" and put a tick by it. then mute it.
[20:02] <Supersaiyan_IV> tvaughn, compiz config settings manager
[20:02] <Jarlen> why isn't the .deb version of limewire not good enough for linux?
[20:03] <daftykins> .deb's can be installed fine
[20:03] <nivalis> NDS|Brand, can you get the LiveCD working at all? from there you can make a bootable usb flash memory. or, you can download archlinux usb-image, arch is a little more work to set up though.
[20:03] <Comrade-Sergei> miik, "just work" is like the cake
[20:03] <rayne_> Jarlen, Why use limewire?
[20:03] <Pici> Acedip: How would they do it from another windows computer?
[20:03] <tvaughn> daftykins, i dont see a beep
[20:03] <AfterDeath> http://i40.tinypic.com/30w8pzr.png FWIW
[20:03] <miik> rayne_, porno.
[20:04] <Comrade-Sergei> Why doesnt phpmyadmin make a folder in my /var/www? in ubuntu server?
[20:04] <daftykins> might be called something else on yours tvaughn  but was on mine
[20:04] <SimonKitching> Jaunty update has broken wireless: I'm running jaunty and yesterday did an update. I am now unable to connect to any wireless network that needs authentication. After rebooting into ubuntu 8.10 it works fine. Can someone suggest where best to report this? Is launchpad the right place or is there somewhere better for jaunty issues?
[20:04] <tvaughn> PCM?
[20:04] <Ryder51> ok so i wanted to replace konquer with nautilus but i wanna switch back how do i do it? i used this code
[20:04] <Ryder51> sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/nautilus.old --rename /usr/bin/nautilus sudo ln -s /usr/bin/konqueror /usr/bin/nautilus
[20:04] <dieselsmoke> Comrade-Sergei: probably so it's not world-readable
[20:05] <Acedip> Pici, no, i'm on ubuntu , so they wouldn't know how to that from linux
[20:05] <rayne_> miik, Just seems Limewire is crap. Went downhill after lite version dissapeared. Why not just use a torrent client?
[20:05] <miik> rayne_, i do too...
[20:05] <daftykins> SimonKitching, #ubuntu+1 for jaunty
[20:06] <tvaughn> now its complaining that the mic is muted
[20:06] <tvaughn> and i still cant find beep
[20:06] <SimonKitching> daftykins: thanks
[20:06] <ravalox> Supersaiyan_IV: this gives you 1080p on an HD screen?
[20:06] <_jonesy_> I'm having some gigabit speed issues on my home network. Copying files from my Ubuntu 8.10 server to my Macbook Pro. Sometimes I get 70+MB/sec transfers then 20 seconds later it bombs out and drops to 4MB/sec. Any ideas why this is happening?
[20:06] <Ryder51> i used this code to set konquer to open folders rather then natuilus, but i wanna swtich back, but how do i do it?
[20:07] <Ryder51> heres the code i used,   sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/nautilus.old --rename /usr/bin/nautilus sudo ln -s /usr/bin/konqueror /usr/bin/nautilus
[20:07] <tvaughn> daftykins, is it going to be listed as playback?
[20:07] <daftykins> ye tvaughn
[20:08] <daftykins> "sudo rm /usr/bin/nautilus && sudo mv /usr/bin/nautilus.old /usr/bin/nautilus" Ryder51
[20:08] <glitsj16> AfterDeath: did you try the proposed fix on https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+question/60677 (from user marcoba) ?
[20:08] <Ryder51> daftykins i get "sudo rm /usr/bin/nautilus && sudo mv /usr/bin/nautilus.old /usr/bin/nautilus"
[20:09] <Ryder51> ops
[20:09] <Ryder51> i get "rm: cannot remove `/usr/bin/nautilus': No such file or director"
[20:09] <MostlyDifferent> hey everyone... having install issues.  grub disagrees with my cruddy old dell raid controller.  after a bucketload of troubleshooting, would like to install ubuntu with lilo instead.  websites suggest it's possible, but i'm having trouble actually doing it.  suggestions?
[20:09] <tvaughn> i muted everything and it still beeps
[20:09] <Acedip> Pici, u mean we cant do it from linux.. ?
[20:10] <Pici> Acedip: I mean I don't know if we can do it until you know what exactly you want to do
[20:11] <daftykins> Ryder51, there were multiple lines in the code you ran weren't there?
[20:11] <daftykins> i need to see each one on separate lines
[20:12] <nivalis> tvaughn, to disable system beep you could blacklist pcspkr module?
[20:12] <skel> does anyone know if gnome 2.26 will be included in Jaunty by beta release?
[20:12] <Ryder51> daftykins no just "sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/nautilus.old --rename /usr/bin/nautilus sudo ln -s /usr/bin/konqueror /usr/bin/nautilus"
[20:12] <Ryder51> Thats it
[20:13] <Scunizi> I have some shares on my Ubuntu desktop that I access from a windows VM on the same machine.  The thing is one directory requires a user name and pass to access (which will not work with my current creds, but use to) and a sub-directory of that directory that I CAN access WITHOUT a user name and pass.  How do I fix the one I can't get into?
[20:13] <tvaughn> found another way
[20:13] <tvaughn> i just disabled alert sounds
[20:13] <tvaughn> lol
[20:13] <BlueAidan> how do I change where files are downloaded to by apt-get/synaptic?
[20:13] <Scunizi> BlueAidan: why would you want to ?
[20:14] <Veinor> for some reason, anything using gstreamer is taking up way too much CPU
[20:14] <BlueAidan> I have a separate partition for /home that has more room.
[20:14] <Acedip> Pici, i want to send a text msg to an ip address on lan, the other user can see it in any way, i mean in cli or in some application, whichever would be easier to do .. am i clear ?
[20:14] <cantinstallhelp> hi
[20:14] <AfterDeath> glitsj16: yes, no help
[20:14] <AfterDeath> glitsj16: I'm using the default human theme, also
[20:14] <cantinstallhelp> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop
[20:14] <Scunizi> BlueAidan: it's usually a good idea that you clean out packages that have been installed so the installer doesn't take up any excess room.
[20:15] <cantinstallhelp> But the Live CD thing doesn't work
[20:15] <Pici> Acedip: Without knowing what application would recevie the message I have no way of telling you if its possible to do it from Linux
[20:15] <Scunizi> BlueAidan: sudo apt-get autoclean
[20:15] <cantinstallhelp> I have a SiS 762 (Mirage 3) GPU
[20:15] <cantinstallhelp> Please help me
[20:15] <cantinstallhelp> Windows is full of problems
[20:15] <glitsj16> AfterDeath: too bad it didn't work, no more ideas on this one
[20:16] <Acedip> Pici, the command prompt or the Internet browser can receive it
[20:16] <Supersaiyan_IV> ravalox, yes
[20:16] <nivalis> acedip, ssh into the machine and create a textfile?
[20:16] <asgsdhf> i need help with quake, i want to play quake, i heard it's under gpl, but i only find NoThInG! !!!
[20:17] <Acedip> nivalis, its a windows machine,
[20:17] <skel> cantinstallhelp: did you try F4 and choose safe graphics mode on the livecd?
[20:17] <asgsdhf> i can't even compile it :'<
[20:17] <brandon_> i need help, i accedently started orca and now i cant get rid of it
[20:17] <Scunizi> asgsdhf: the quake engine is under gpl.. not the game files necessarily
[20:17] <asgsdhf> where can i get the game files scunizi
[20:18] <pos69sum> is it possible to use gnome + openbox + xinerama?
[20:18] <asgsdhf> or is there someone who programs them in (l)gpl
[20:18] <skel> cantinstallhelp: when it first boots and gives you the different options. there are F Key options across the bottom.
[20:18] <pos69sum> i can't log in whenever i try to use those 3 together
[20:18] <Scunizi> asgsdhf: there are several games available on linux that use the engine.. as for the quake game files you get them from the cd that you bought at the store.
[20:18] <nivalis> pos69sum, yes
[20:18] <pos69sum> do i have to compile openbox by hand for xinerama support or something
[20:18] <pos69sum> i installed it via synaptic
[20:18] <Myrtti> !info openarena
[20:18] <asgsdhf> is noone u copies the original as a form under gpl?
[20:18] <Myrtti> !info alien-arena
[20:19] <Myrtti> asgsdhf: ^
[20:19] <cantinstallhelp> Skel, is that guaranteed to work, because I tried different things last month when I was trying to install
[20:19] <asgsdhf> i know openarena and alien areana, but i want to play pure nostalgic quake 1
[20:19] <Pici> Acedip: Ubuntu can be a web server, but I really don't know what you're looking for.
[20:19] <asgsdhf> :o)
[20:19] <asgsdhf> : 0 )
[20:19] <AfterDeath> it looks like nvidia drivers might be breaking it
[20:19]  * AfterDeath double checks
[20:20] <brandon_> can someone please help me get rid of this Orca please.
[20:20] <skel> cantinstallhelp: nothing is ever guaranteed to work :) but if you haven't tried it, its worth a shot and only takes a few seconds to try
[20:20] <brandon_> its messing me uo
[20:20] <utente> rc.tin.it
[20:20] <Scunizi> brandon_: the screen reader?
[20:20] <brandon_> yes
[20:20] <asgsdhf> does anyone knows any quake 1 binaries?!?! i want to play that game RAIGHT NAO!
[20:20] <brandon_> it is lagging my Ubuntu
[20:20] <Scunizi> brandon_: I'm sure you can turn it on and off in System>Preferences>Assistive Technologies
[20:20] <Acedip> Pici, i want to send a msg to <IP_ADDRESS> , something like wat is done in windows with "net send", if u've ever done it
[20:21] <Pici> Acedip: Aha! Yes, thats the info I was looking for.
[20:21] <dlynam> hey what directory are the default icons stored in?  i am trying to add a terminal icon to a new launcher
[20:21] <Acedip> Pici, :)
[20:21] <Pici> Acedip: linpopup can do that
[20:21] <leonardoalt> Does anybody know how to make skype work on intrepid?
[20:21] <pos69sum> please for the love of god
[20:21] <hanasaki1> I overclocked my cpu and dmesg shows the rigth mghz at bootup... even under load it only goes to the max rated though.  memtest86+ shows the faster clock speed though.  how do I get ubuntu to support the speed?
[20:21] <mahfiaz> leonardoalt, search ubuntuforums
[20:21] <Scunizi> Pici: how do you use linpopup.. can it go from a linux client to a windows client?
[20:22] <leonardoalt> mahfiaz: ok, thanks
[20:22] <Acedip> Pici, but that is not working with just giving in an ip, it needs a hostname to send to
[20:22] <asgsdhf> alright, alrgith!!! now if the original game files are still $$$ by id software ,how can i program my own game files, i think u mean the wad-files ?!?
[20:22] <Pici> Scunizi: The apt description says it can send to windows computers running the messenger service or winpopup
[20:23] <pos69sum> please for the love of god
[20:23] <lastelement0> hey all, i;m having issues with gnome-do not wanting to work. whats weird is the fact that it works fine on my guest session. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. any ideas?
[20:23] <Pici> !patience | pos69sum
[20:23] <pos69sum> why god why
[20:23] <asgsdhf> lol
[20:23] <Pici> pos69sum: Please stop.
[20:23] <asgsdhf> quake 1?!?
[20:23] <tyler_d> how do I run a command remotely and get the results back using scp?
[20:24] <asgsdhf> hope i will find this cool quake mod again.
[20:24] <jrib> tyler_d: redirect the output to a file and copy it?
[20:24] <tyler_d> jrib: initially how do I do even a simple ls -ltr on the remote host
[20:24] <Pici> tyler_d: Use ssh
[20:25] <lastelement0> hey all, i;m having issues with gnome-do not wanting to work. whats weird is the fact that it works fine on my guest session. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. any ideas?
[20:25] <tyler_d> Pici: this is for multiple servers, same creds, just want to do it from a central location
[20:25] <AfterDeath> Yeah, it was the nvidia restriced drivers. poo poo.
[20:25] <tyler_d> Pici: I can always redirect output and scp the file over after the command is run
[20:25] <Pici> tyler_d: You can specify a command to run when using ssh, i.e: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>command
[20:26] <Pici> tyler_d: Then run scp on whatever you piped the output too, (you'll probably have to put the command in quotes to avoid it redirecting in the 'parent' shell)
[20:26] <dwxreaper> when I log into kde with freenx the user has a bunch of stuff running graphically
[20:26] <dwxreaper> and it's broken
[20:26] <tyler_d> Pici: I will tias, brb
[20:26] <dwxreaper> how do I clear the session, I cannot do ctrl+alrt+backspace
[20:27] <dwxreaper> and restarting kde and x windows does not work
[20:27] <dwxreaper> I just want to delete my session information
[20:29] <Acedip> Pici, linpopup is not working with just specifying visitor's ip, it needs a hostname to send to
[20:29] <ewook> Acedip: do a revers-check first?
[20:30] <Acedip> ewook, of wat ?
[20:30] <Pici> Acedip: You may need to install the smbclient package as well.
[20:30] <jmulloy> Does anyone have experience with locking down the gnome desktop? We have configured a multi-user environment with LDAP authentication and home directories mounted from an NFS server ... I have looked at pessulus and sabayon briefly but wanted a better understanding of how desktop settings are determined (gconf).  I am trying to figure out the easiest management of the system.
[20:31] <lastelement0> hey all, i;m having issues with gnome-do not wanting to work. whats weird is the fact that it works fine on my guest session. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. any ideas?
[20:32] <_VIM_> lastelement0: I donno about that but have you tried cairo-dock yet ?
[20:32] <glitsj16> dwxreaper: you could try clearing out session info in /home/<your-user-name>/.cache/sessions
[20:32] <lastelement0> _VIM_ i'm not looking for a dock
[20:32] <daftykins> tried deleting the gnome config folder in your home dir lastelement0 ?
[20:32] <_VIM_> ah you just want a launcher, hmmm maybe launchy but that's kinda old
[20:32] <lastelement0> daftykins: gconf?
[20:33] <daftykins> no .gnome2 primarily
[20:33] <lastelement0> _VIM_ well the thing is i had it working before thats what im confused about
[20:33] <daftykins> try renaming all .g* folders to backups
[20:33] <daftykins> then restart X
[20:33] <_VIM_> lastelement0: I wasnt happy with gnome-do personally :(
[20:34] <hoopoe> can view flash, but not comedy central, konquerorfirefox/amd64
[20:34] <Acedip> Pici, smbclient is installed, in linpopup i enter the ip in the sendto tab and on sending it, it says the host is unreachable
[20:34] <ZmAY> is it possible to transfer whole directory over ssh?
[20:35] <DB42> hi, if i install something via dpkg or apt-get and the .deb package override a pre-existing file in the system, when i uninstall the package, what will happen ? will the file be deleted on uninstall ? revert to the previous version ? will be left untouched ?
[20:35] <nivalis> ZmAY, check out scp
[20:35] <daftykins> why not do it and find out :)
[20:36] <sint> hey, i've reinstalled my system a few weeks back and since then it hangs from time to time. but its not frozen at all, it runs fine, i just can't use keyboard and mouse! but i can login with ssh and do everything.
[20:36] <sint> anyone knows how to fix this?
[20:36] <mikebeecham> does anyone know if there is a fix to the loss of wired connection upon reboot?
[20:36] <daftykins> sint you tried restarting X from your SSH session when it goes like that?
[20:36] <sint> daftykins: ya, works fine
[20:37] <daftykins> comes back up and works again 'til the next freeze?
[20:37] <sint> daftykins: but X is not really frozen as well, cause i can see incomming messages in chats and stuff
[20:37] <daftykins> oh right that's odd
[20:37] <ZmAY> nivalis: figured it out scp -r ...
[20:37] <gater> hello
[20:37] <sint> daftykins, ya
[20:37] <sam555> has anyone been able to reset mysql password in ubuntu?
[20:37] <daftykins> are your peripherals USB?
[20:37] <sint> daftykins: just the mouse. i am on a laptop
[20:38] <sint> daftykins: i can move the courser but i can't click
[20:38] <daftykins> ah, external mouse? does the touchpad/whatever work?
[20:38] <hoelk> anyone can help me? how to reset the look of qt applications to the default again after altering them with qtconfig?
[20:38] <sint> daftykins: no! both the same
[20:38] <daftykins> ah ok no idea then i'm afraid ;x
[20:38] <sint> daftykins: :(
[20:39] <sint> daftykins: is there maybe a logfile i could check?
[20:39] <Comrade-Sergei> Has anyone gotten PHPMyadmin to work with ubuntu?
[20:39] <daftykins> someone recently suggested looking at the X log file for an issue of X crashing, but i'm not sure if that'd help you
[20:40] <dreamy> do i have any conf file related to my firewall ? anyone knows?
[20:40] <daftykins> /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:41] <sint> daftykins: ok, i'll check this. but i think its an X issue, cause the system itself is fine and after restarting X its fine again. until crash
[20:41] <jmulloy> Is there a way to control all users ability to modify desktop settings?  I want to prevent users from doing things like things deleting the taskbar accidentally.
[20:41] <daftykins> yeah sounds like a device input bug
[20:41] <daftykins> jmulloy, just let your users do what they want, then delete the gnome configs in their home folder if they break it ;)
[20:42] <daftykins> that's how it worked at my Uni
[20:42] <Geek`N`Proud> jmulloy, there is
