[18:16] <craxpt> i cannot go past the grub menu with wubi. any ideas?
[18:17] <ikonia> BigLove: what hardware are you trying to boot on
[18:17] <nibbler> http://paste.ubuntu.com/85247/ @ recon69
[18:17] <DrHackenbush> n8tuser  - you rock  :-D
[18:17] <DrHackenbush> that did it.  thanks tons!
[18:17] <recon69> nibbler: thx
[18:17] <BigLove> ikonia: Macbook :)
[18:17] <Gnea> craxpt: yeah, stop asking for ideas and give some error messages.
[18:17] <ikonia> BigLove: which model/version
[18:17] <n8tuser> DrHackenbush-> i forget lots of things though, but i get you close enuff
[18:17] <BigLove> ikonia: using an External firewire dvd. Um. Intel Core Duo 2GHz
[18:17] <DrHackenbush> close enough is close enough.  :-D   that's been bugging me for a while now.  thanks again  :-)
[18:18] <n8tuser> DrHackenbush-> you are welcome
[18:18] <ikonia> BigLove: now sure how macs book from external devices, especially DVD drives, eg: how they hang off the buss
[18:18] <stapel> I'm looking for a proxy switcher utility for ubuntu
[18:18] <ikonia> BigLove: any reason your not booting from the internal drive ?
[18:18] <xorlim> recon69: http://pastebin.com/m170ea897
[18:18] <l337ingDisorder> Can anyone help me install flashplugin-nonfree? Here's the output of 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree': http://rafb.net/p/ND5xB880.html
[18:18] <ikonia> BigLove: as in the internal DVD drive
[18:18] <BigLove> ikonia: It's teh broke, heh
[18:19] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: thats a known issue that adobe have changed the download location
[18:19] <racarter> gnutron, i don't understand what you're telling me. i installed esound, set to default, and asoundconf list tells me i have one soundcard (Intel)
[18:19] <BigLove> ikonia: so yeah, having to find alternative methods. :(
[18:19] <Nutt718> jdolan - that command does not display the chipset.
[18:19] <racarter> gnutron, not sure how i am supposed to set the default
[18:19] <ikonia> BigLove: not sure how mac handles booting from external devices
[18:19] <BigLove> ikonia: I've tried a usb install, but macbooks apparently have problems with that as well
[18:19] <rathel> I'm running Fluxbox, I can't seem to get my DPMS working in xorg.conf, I know it works because I can do xset dpms force off and it shuts my monitors off.
[18:19] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: So it's a known issue but no one's fixed it? "Yeah I know the toilet flushes backwards, it's a known issue..."
[18:19] <racarter> what is fluxbox?
[18:19] <gnutron> racarter: if you only have onboard sound its set.
[18:19] <l337ingDisorder> "We just wear gumboots"
[18:19] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: ubuntu can't fix it, adobe can
[18:20] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: it is being worked on
[18:20] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: I seeee
[18:20] <racarter> ok thanks, the one i have doesn't work btw
[18:20] <craxpt> straight boot, no error message; typing boot, i get Error 8: KErnel must be loaded before booting; typing kernetl /ubuntu/winboot/wubilfr.mbr i get a successful linux image loaded; typing boot afterwards, system hangs
[18:20] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: So in the meantime there's no way to get flash working with firefox?
[18:20] <ikonia> BigLove: without knowing how it handles external booting I couldn't comment, can you boot anything else, say a windows cd ?
[18:20] <xorlim> what errors were fixed in 8.10 as opposed to 8.04?
[18:20] <BigLove> ikonia: Hm. lemme try that :D
[18:20] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: you can manually try io install the 10 version, or see if there is a fix package in the backports repo yet
[18:20] <BigLove> brb
[18:21] <thinkk_linuxx> hello every1
[18:21] <stapel> I'm looking for a proxy switcher utility for ubuntu
[18:21] <thinkk_linuxx> is the version 8.10 stable?
[18:21] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: would there be a CLI one-liner I could try for the backport repo? I have that repo in my sources.list already
[18:21] <kalakouentin> yes
[18:21] <smokewon> hey there im trying to get my web camera working its a DSE web cam(model: XH5096) i got the drivers from this site: http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/download.html#ov51x but when i try compile it i get this: http://rafb.net/p/tbciAc17.html whats going on???
[18:21] <Nutt718> jdolan, essentially, have ubuntu installed but need to install linux drivers for a gateway mt6723
[18:21] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: make sure it's not commented out
[18:21] <l337ingDisorder> thinkk_linuxx: 8.10 is stable but still crashy for many people
[18:22] <ikonia> stapel: just switch the proxy in the applications you want to use
[18:22] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: thats nonsense,
[18:22] <gnutron> racarter: right click the volume icon, preferences should say intel, open the volume controls and toggle switches, it worked for me.
[18:22] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: Very crashy for many people
[18:22] <Nutt718> jdolan, to enable the NIC card and wireless card
[18:22] <thinkk_linuxx> l337indDisorder: is it worth updrading?
[18:22] <jrhigh> guys
[18:22] <jrhigh> i need some help
[18:22] <jrhigh> how do i connect to the ubuntu channel #politics
[18:22] <jrhigh> i'm connected to freenode
[18:22] <ikonia> thinkk_linuxx: depends on your need
[18:22] <ikonia> jrhigh: that not an ubuntu channel
[18:22] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: not commented out
[18:22] <jrhigh> but i'm on windows and trying to the connect to the ubuntu #politics channel
[18:23] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: uncomment it and run apt-get update
[18:23] <jrhigh> yes it is
[18:23] <ikonia> jrhigh: there is no ubuntu politics channel
[18:23] <jrhigh> are u sure
[18:23] <ikonia> jrhigh: %100
[18:23] <xorlim>  why is the login screen now "small" in 8.10 as opposed to "normal size" in 8.04?
[18:23] <l337ingDisorder> thinkk_linuxx: If I were you I'd create a new partition to test it on
[18:23] <diffred> damn .chm files!!!!!!!!!!! how the hell I print the hole books in this format
[18:23] <diffred> s/hole/whole
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !ohmy > diffred
[18:23] <thinkk_linuxx> ikonia: what does the new version have more?
[18:23] <ikonia> thinkk_linuxx: few updates,
[18:24] <smokewon> hey there im trying to get my web camera working its a DSE web cam(model: XH5096) i got the drivers from this site: http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/download.html#ov51x but when i try compile it i get this: http://rafb.net/p/tbciAc17.html whats going on???
[18:24] <l337ingDisorder> thinkk_linuxx: If you can install it and get it configured so it's exactly the way you want it, and you can reboot/log-out/suspend etc without any crashing then you're good to go and can delete the old 8.04 partition (though I'd still recommend keeping the 8.04 partition as a fallout shelter)
[18:24] <racarter> gnutron, yeah it says HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) but doesn't seem to work for me
[18:24] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: I think you misread me... It's currently _not_ commented out (the backports repo)
[18:24] <racarter> i am looking at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829612001
[18:24] <thinkk_linuxx> l337indDisorder: alright ill try that...thbanks
[18:24] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: then it's enabled
[18:24] <NastyGuns> hello... can anyone help with bittorrent on 7.10?
[18:24] <racarter> no idea if this is linux compatible
[18:24] <BigLove> ikonia: Nope. Same problem. Win disk is good though. it's gotta be something wrong with the way mac's handle external drives
[18:24] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: ah okay so it would be the same apt-line then?
[18:25] <ikonia> BigLove: sounds sensible
[18:25] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: yes
[18:25] <Nutt718> can anyone tell me where to find drivers for a gateway mt6723
[18:25] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: in other words the manual install is the only option.. and that's not an option because they only have a 32-bit version of the source available
[18:25] <BigLove> ikonia: Well, that sucks -_- was trying to avoid having to deal with sending it off, heh heh
[18:25] <Nutt718> specifically NIC and wireless
[18:25] <Andry> hey guys, do yuo know if I can read DVDs burned under windows with UDF filesystem?
[18:25] <gnutron> racarter: open volume controls, play with the controls and switches
[18:25] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: on the 64bit version it installs the 32bit package
[18:25] <BigLove> ikonia: Thanks for the troubleshooting between you and nibbler though :D much appreciated guys
[18:25] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: there is no source package, it's closed source
[18:26] <racarter> ??
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Andry Wrong channel for WIndows questions
[18:26] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: Tried that, it said the architecture was unsupported when I tried to run the .deb
[18:26] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: where did you download a deb from ?
[18:26] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: well ok, not 'source' then inasmuch as the .tar.gz
[18:26] <Andry> Jack_Sparrow: I wanted to know if I can read it under ubuntu
[18:26] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: adobe.com
[18:26] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: yes, and thats teh same one that is installed on the 64bit
[18:26] <racarter> gnutron, i have played with the volume controls and switches.. i think i can keep myself entertained that way for only so long
[18:26] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: you don't download a deb,
[18:27] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: tried the .deb, tried the .tar.gz
[18:27] <zsquareplusc> Andry: you probable need udf-utils or a similar package
[18:27] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: how did you try the tar ?
[18:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Andry k
[18:27] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: both failed due to wrong architecture
[18:27] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: actually - never mind, you probably haven't setup the 32bit compatability libraries
[18:27] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: untarred it and ran the script inside
[18:27] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: not that simple
[18:27] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: aha that sounds like something that would be greatly useful
[18:27] <gnutron> racarter: right click the volume icon,  open the volume controls select preferences, toggle tracks to be visable
[18:28] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: where are these compatability libraries you speak of? :)
[18:28] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: in the repo
[18:28] <l337ingDisorder> and is there any reason I might not want to install said libraries? (if not, why aren't they native? heh)
[18:28] <mib_3lwwql> hi
[18:28] <mib_3lwwql> hi when i boot ubuntu for the first time using the live cd, all goes well but it asks me to login. i have never installed ubuntu on this computer before and i have no idea what the username and password combo is.....
[18:28] <Andry> can I burn a 4 GB file with ubuntu with other filesystems?
[18:28] <alex_mayorga> is there a specific channel were I can get help with X problems?
[18:28] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: they are not installed by default as not everyone needs them
[18:28] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: so 'apt-get install 32-bit-compatability-libraries' ?
[18:28] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql: the livecd will not ask you to log in
[18:28] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql: where did you get the livecd from
[18:29] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: no, search the repos for compat
[18:29] <ikonia> alex_mayorga: #xorg
[18:29] <mib_3lwwql> ikonia: ubuntu.com from the MIT mirror
[18:29] <racarter> gnutron.. i have selected all options and turned everything up to the max
[18:29] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: aha, thanks :)
[18:29] <racarter> if my sound should work someday, i will probably go deaf
[18:29] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i make this permanent gnome-terminal --geometry=75x25+350+205?
[18:29] <mib_3lwwql> it is asking me to login i am very confused
[18:29] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql: where did you get the cd from
[18:29] <gnutron> racarter: try switches
[18:29] <Gnuggets> hey guys
[18:29] <racarter> what?
[18:29] <Tefx> hye does any one in here no abotu how to set up nameservers and the lieks properly??
[18:29] <Gnuggets> first day on linux how are you?
[18:29] <zsquareplusc> l337ingDisorder: ia32-libs
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_3lwwql the live cd from ubuntu does not ask for user name and pass for live session..
[18:30] <Tefx> cos bind is jsut liek ahh confusign to me
[18:30] <mib_3lwwql> ikonia: it's a blank cd
[18:30] <racarter> gnutron, what switches?
[18:30] <stefg> mib_3lwwql: so you're on a Live-CD, right?
[18:30] <mib_3lwwql> *dvd
[18:30] <mib_3lwwql> yes stefg
[18:30] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql: then you can't be booting from the DVD if it's blank
[18:30] <Andry> I need to burn a 4GB file onto a DVD with winXP and I want to be able to read it under Ubuntu as well
[18:30] <mib_3lwwql> it isn't blank...
[18:30] <l337ingDisorder> zsquareplusc: ahhh thanks, that'll save a looooot of time ;)
[18:30] <mib_3lwwql> i burned the iso to it
[18:30] <racarter> gnutron, i selected all the checkboxes in volume control preferences if that's what you mean
[18:30] <mib_3lwwql> and it works perfectly except it asks me to login
[18:30] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql:where did you get the iso
[18:30] <mib_3lwwql> ikonia: ubuntu.com from  the mit mirror
[18:31] <Gnuggets> could anyone tell me how to go about in installing my invidia drivers?
[18:31] <stefg> mib_3lwwql: and you installed from that dvd, but was not asked f to set a usernam or password ?
[18:31] <smokewon> hey there im trying to get my web camera working its a DSE web cam(model: XH5096) i got the drivers from this site: http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/download.html#ov51x but when i try compile it i get this: http://rafb.net/p/tbciAc17.html whats going on???
[18:31] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: ok it seems I already have the latest ia32-libs installed
[18:31] <Tefx> mib_3lwwql, did u burn it at a low speed ???
[18:31] <ardchoille> !nvidia | Gnuggets
[18:31] <mib_3lwwql> yes stefg
[18:31] <Gnuggets> yes ardchoille key stroke error
[18:31] <mib_3lwwql> Tefx: yes!!!
[18:31] <recon69> mib_3lwwql: did you burn it as an iso image?
[18:31] <mib_3lwwql> 4X
[18:31] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql: do you get a boot menu asking you what you want to do ?
[18:31] <hippopota> fireox about:config any experts??
[18:31] <psycardis> Is it possible to make a custom keyboard shortcut using the escape key?
[18:31] <Gnuggets> i downloaded them from nvidia for my driver it went to the desktop
[18:31] <Gnuggets> however i cant figure how to install it
[18:31] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql: when you first boot from the cd, before the desktop loads
[18:32] <mib_3lwwql> yes recon69 otherwise i woulnt get anything at all
[18:32] <ikonia> Gnuggets: why are you not using the ones ubuntu provides through the driver manager ?
[18:32] <NewtuUbuntu> Hi there, does anyone know why my restricted packages would stop working regularly without me changing anything? Almost every day I get on my computer mp3's and such will stop playing and I have to re-download the restricted packages. Right now that's not even working. Any ideas?
[18:32] <Gnuggets> they make my refresh rate 50 and my screen resolution so small
[18:32] <gnutron> racarter: try muting auxiliary
[18:32] <recon69> mib_3lwwql: and is your computer set to boot from cd ?
[18:32] <mib_3lwwql> ikonia: i am sorry, i don't understand your question. i booted it for the first time 5 minutes ago
[18:32] <mib_3lwwql> recon69: it boots from the cd fine.
[18:32] <Tefx> right hand on form what im gettin mib_3lwwql  you have installed it from the lvie cd the lvie cd boots and logs in fine but uveinstalled it to your system and its now askign you for a log in which u dotn renember settign when u installed correct
[18:32] <rathel> I can't seem to get my DPMS working in xorg.conf, I have set OffTime to 1 and it doesn't do anything, I know it works because I can do 'xset dpms force off' and it shuts my monitors off.
[18:33] <ikonia> mib_3lwwql: when you first put the cD in and boot, you should get a menu that asks you to boot from the cd, boot from the hard disk, run a disk check, etc etc with an ubuntu logo, do you get that
[18:33] <stefg> mib_3lwwql: then something went wrong., the install is probably broken. you can try to boot into resuce mode, where you have the chance to drop to a root shell (without givng a password). you can then add a user from the shell witz the 'adduser' command
[18:33] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i make this permanent gnome-terminal --geometry=75x25+350+205?
[18:33] <recon69> mib_3lwwql: so you get a menu asking you what you want to do , try ubuntu liveCD, install , test cd , test memory
[18:33] <mib_3lwwql> ikonia: i got that, incorrect Tefx
[18:33] <Tefx> ahh oky
[18:33] <Gnuggets> boy for first time using this it is very confusing however when i browse the internet its so much faster
[18:33] <Tefx> i jsut mis read somthign ithink then
[18:33] <mib_3lwwql> i never installed ubuntu
[18:33] <mib_3lwwql> i am booting the live cd
[18:33] <racarter> gnutron, don't see an option for auxillary
[18:34]  * Tefx binds confusign the hell out of me
[18:34] <stefg> mib_3lwwql: how much ram does that box have ?
[18:34] <mib_3lwwql> ikonia: i choose to boot without it harming my comuter(the first option)
[18:34] <mib_3lwwql> stefg: 1gig
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_3lwwql did you do the self test?
[18:34] <mib_3lwwql> no
[18:34] <mib_3lwwql> i should prbably do that
[18:34] <MindVirus> When are we getting Py3k?
[18:34] <mib_3lwwql> 1 sec
[18:34] <mib_3lwwql> brb
[18:34] <psycardis> Pirate_Hunter open the terminal click edit, profiles and create a new profile.
[18:34] <stefg> mib_3lwwql: probably there's a problem with the DVD
[18:34] <Tefx> Jack_Sparrow,  do u no anythign abotu bind and nameserver mx records and the liek
[18:35] <xorlim> how do I get the correct resolution for my system during the login screen?
[18:35] <psycardis> Pirate_Hunter when you have it as you like make it the default.
[18:35] <Tefx> cos its confusign the hell otua me and u seem to be pritty well knolaged in the area of servers
[18:35] <Pirate_Hunter> psycardis: i need it with those geometries
[18:35] <gnutron> racarter: you havent made all controls visable
[18:35] <bpat1434> whomever answered my question, can you repost?
[18:36] <jereth> hello

[18:39] <toader_> Hi, Since i upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10,  my keyboard input always r frozen in the application like eclipse, and Konsole. I almost cannot continue my work. But previous Ubuntu 8.04, there is no this problem. Could anybody know why?
[18:39] <NewtuUbuntu> Anyone have any ideas why my restricted packages would stop working every few days? I will be able to play mp3's one day, then the next day it won't work. Please help.
[18:39] <gnutron> racarter: i give up, set system - preferences - sound to autodetect instead of alsa
[18:39] <mib_3lwwql> well ok but how can i fix the errors
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_3lwwql No, you cant fix errors on a dvd with nano
[18:39] <Pirate_Hunter> psycardis: np i think i got what u meant or maybe not but i figured it out at least for my desktop link
[18:39] <mib_3lwwql> ok well thanks anyway everyone

[18:40] <ElTimo> jereth: I think you have to run it from inside windows
[18:40] <toader_> hi, could anybody know about keyboard frozen in Ubuntu 8.10?
[18:40] <Gnuggets> so the driver download i downloaded if i go to system admit and hardware driver should automaticly install it when i enable driver?
[18:40] <Susie> How can I find out what specific graphics card driver I am using on my computer? My xorg.conf does not say...
[18:40] <mib_3lwwql> thanks everyon
[18:40] <toader_> Hi, Since i upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10,  my keyboard input always r frozen in the application like eclipse, and Konsole. I almost cannot continue my work. But previous Ubuntu 8.04, there is no this problem. Could anybody know why?
[18:41] <et32273> Susie: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:41] <ElTimo> how do I get the v4l-dvb drivers working on intrepid? I know they're compiled into the kernel now, but my cam isn't supported by default so I have to install a patched version
[18:41] <jereth> it wont run from withing windows but duel boots happily i just cat see my data
[18:42] <sonny> WOW
[18:42] <ElTimo> jereth: that's weird
[18:42] <NewtuUbuntu> et32273 would you have any idea why my mp3's won't play anymore? I installed the restricted packages, they worked, then they stopped working randomly.
[18:42] <sonny> 这里有中国人么？
[18:42] <dan1el_> i dont have any sound after i installed ubuntu. what should I do now?
[18:42] <hateball> !jp | sonny
[18:42] <jereth> yea :(  hy hdds are c: for the windows and z;big bastard or the 500 gig data drive
[18:42] <Susie> et32272: Thanks, I think I figured it out...
[18:42] <et32273> NewtuUbuntu: why do you ask me?
[18:43] <sonny> ....chinese

[18:43] <zsquareplusc> jereth: check if thee is a /host/ folder and if is that what you are looking for :-)
[18:43] <hateball> sonnyⅅ Sorry, hard for me to tell ;)
[18:43] <jereth> ok
[18:43] <NewtuUbuntu> et32273 because you just helped someone else, i figured perhaps you are knowledgable. I've been asking my question for a while now and no one has been able to reply yet.
[18:43] <psycardis> Is it possible to make a custom keyboard shortcut using the escape key?
[18:43] <bpat1434> xorlim, found it.... had to change "lts" to "normal" in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[18:43] <Pirate_Hunter> psycardis: ty, very much appreciated
[18:43] <jereth> brb
[18:44] <psycardis> Pirate_Hunter: np
[18:44] <et32273> NewtuUbuntu: i don't use standard gnome or kde media players. i use mplayer which can play mp3 and many other formats.
[18:44] <NewtuUbuntu> et32273 MPlayer is what I'm using as well, in fact I have two versions, Gnome M Player and just M Player, but neither of them are working.
[18:45] <zsquareplusc> NewtuUbuntu: maybe your sound is just muted?
[18:45] <Spasysheep> 8.04 - which packages conflict with flashplugin-nonfree?
[18:45] <NewtuUbuntu> zsquareplusc i've checked, it is not muted.

[18:45] <mali[x]> hello
[18:45] <Aval0n> hey has there been any ability to play bluray disc direct off CD yet?
[18:46] <Aval0n> without having to rip to the Hard drive/
[18:46] <zsquareplusc> NewtuUbuntu: if you want to have multiple applications playing, use pulseaudio as output. otherwise only one app at the time can play audio
[18:46] <isle85> Hi, I can't make my Brother (a wifi printer/scaner/) to be seen by my laptop . I can print with it, no problemo . This printer has its own IP address to be seen by my whole network
[18:46] <NewtuUbuntu> zsquareplusc the odd thing is, youtube videos will play fine, so i know it's not my overall sound, just mp3 files and the like
[18:46] <et32273> NewtuUbuntu: and i don't even use gnome or kde as desktop enviroment, so no pulse audio. just plain alsa.
[18:46] <NewtuUbuntu> zsquareplusc hmm, i don't think that's the problem either, i don't have any other programs attempting to play sounds right now
[18:47] <zsquareplusc> NewtuUbuntu: the flash plugin is maybe not using pulseaudio, i dont know
[18:47] <Spasysheep> et32273 - try: sudo alsamixer
[18:47] <ElTimo> can someone help me with my gspca drivers?
[18:47] <toader_> Hi, Since i upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10,  my keyboard input always r frozen in the application like eclipse, and Konsole. I almost cannot continue my work. But previous Ubuntu 8.04, there is no this problem. Could anybody know why?
[18:47] <et32273> Spasysheep: i dont have sound problems
[18:47] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep i'm the one with the sound problems
[18:47] <massiterun> hello to everybody
[18:47] <Spasysheep> et32273, NewtuUbuntu - sorry, misread posts / names
[18:47] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep for some reason i can't play mp3's even though i got it working by downloading the restricted packages, it stopped working suddenly for no apparent reason
[18:48] <thomas__> hello!
[18:48] <sonny> hello
[18:48] <provo1> hi
[18:48] <sonny> hi
[18:48] <jereth> thank you very much i didnt see it before ;)
[18:48] <Guest85018> hello ubu guys
[18:48] <provo1> wow
[18:48] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu - i had a similar problem recently, is there more than one sound device on your system?
[18:48] <provo1> they dont even mask your ip on freenode?
[18:48] <provo1> sucks
[18:49] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep what do you mean by sound device? i do have headphones and speakers if that's what you're referring to.
[18:49] <jrib> !cloak | provo1
[18:49] <thomas__> can anybody help me with a filesystem problem (root is always read only) on a server?
[18:49] <provo1> ubottu: thanks!
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> provo1 Please watch the language... and tone..  You can cloak if you feel the need
[18:49] <inzi85> hi.. skype doesn't work properly on ubuntu for me...i can hear my voice through the speakers but my friend doesnt recieve anything
[18:49] <jereth> whoever it was that told me where to look me and my anime thank you
[18:49] <provo1> sorry for my tone
[18:50] <Jack_Sparrow> provo1 np
[18:50] <toader_> Hi, Since i upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10,  my keyboard input always r frozen in the application like eclipse, and Konsole. I almost cannot continue my work. But previous Ubuntu 8.04, there is no this problem. Could anybody know why?
[18:50] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu - i mean soundcards - im guessing that you have onboard sound, do you also have a separate soundcard installed?
[18:50] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep i'm not sure, is there some way i can check that?
[18:50] <Susie> I am thinking about getting a VGA to S-video adapter so I can clone my desktop to a TV. I read a lot of reviews that say these types of cables don't work most of the time. Is this true?
[18:51] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu - um, hang on a mo
[18:51] <NewtuUbuntu> ok
[18:51] <xorlim> Jack_Sparrow: what is "cloak"?
[18:51] <medoctron> Susie: I think it depends on your configuration and what a tv you want to use
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !cloak > xorlim
[18:52] <pretorian> hi
[18:52] <giuseppe_> hi all, during boot appears "Activatinf swapfile ... FAILED - What can I do?
[18:52] <onetinsoldier> toader_: i might know how to fix it. however, it's only a guess and it's kind of drastic, and it might not help at all
[18:53] <Susie> medoctron: I'm checking right now to see if my graphics card supports TV-out. I'm fairly certain it does...
[18:53] <Out_Cold> grr... i bought a second hand dsl modem... and it's not working out of the box.. anyone know how to get the mac address off of it?
[18:53] <tspike> I'm trying to stop sendmail from starting at boot time using chkconfig, but when I run it, I get this output: http://pastie.org/338974... any ideas?
[18:53] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu - open a terminal, run cd /proc/asound then ls
[18:53] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu - whats the output?
[18:53] <sonny> There are Chinese friends what?
[18:53] <provo1> this is going to take some getting use to
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !cn
[18:54] <Gnea> Susie: one thing about S-Video, is that it's a hog when it comes to transmission... in other words, it wants to be the only medium to carry video to a device, it won't share with another. So you can only have the output displayed on either your laptop display or the TV, but not at the same time.
[18:54] <provo1> is there an irc client as robust and easy as mirc?
[18:54] <sonny> thanks
[18:54] <xorlim> provo1: xchat?
[18:54] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep card0 and card1
[18:54] <Slart> provo1: xchat is probably the closest
[18:54] <onetinsoldier> toader_: i might know how to fix it. however, it's only a guess and it's kind of drastic. since it's a guess, it might not fix it at all
[18:54] <giuseppe_> during boot phase it appears "Activatinf swapfile ... FAILED - What can I do?
[18:54] <Gnuggets> Error nvidia-installer must be ran as root?
[18:54] <Out_Cold> provo1, go xchat... not xchat-gnome
[18:54] <Slart> provo1: or you can run mIRC in wine if you really must
[18:54] <xorlim> I use irssi because it's like ircii from the '90's.
[18:54] <Susie> Gnea: I did not know that. If I used RCA (I believe that's the red, yellow, and white, correct?) would that be better?
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> provo1 we try to avoid discussions about what is best...  but xchat, or kvirc are well thought of
[18:54] <provo1> oic, thanks for the advice slart
[18:55] <TriBeCa> soooo
[18:55] <tspike> Anyone?
[18:55] <Slart> provo1: you're welcome
[18:55] <giuseppe_> anyone?
[18:55] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: ok you have two soundcards on your system, same as me, now lets see if i can remember how to disable one
[18:55] <Slart> tspike: I can't be bothered to go back and search for your original question in the backlog.. can't you just repeat it?
[18:55] <TriBeCa> i just did a new install, and now my system sits with a flashing '_' immediately after post
[18:55] <tspike> Slart: I'm trying to stop sendmail from starting at boot time using chkconfig, but when I run it, I get this output: http://pastie.org/338974... any ideas?
[18:55] <TriBeCa> hard drive is set as a boot device in bios
[18:55] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep thank you for your help thus far, I really appreciate it
[18:56] <giuseppe_> anyone?
[18:56] <Gnea> Susie: that depends on the source. yes, RCA is the correct term.
[18:56] <tspike> Slart: I assumed it was bad form to constantly repeat questions
[18:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !patience > giuseppe_
[18:56] <toader_> onetinsoldier: could u tell me
[18:56] <bthompson> anybody have an experience with installing linux to a flash drive
[18:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[18:56] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: thats ok :). By disabling one soundcard, all sound will play through the other
[18:56] <Slart> tspike: nah.. as long as you don't repeat too often.. once every 5 minutes is enough... just saying "anyone?" out of nowhere will just annoy people..
[18:57] <sonny> Good lively here
[18:57] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: can you get at the back of your pc?
[18:57] <tspike> Slart: fair enough
[18:57] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep if necessary, what would you like me to do?
[18:57] <onetinsoldier> toader_: ok, sure. it seems that you are using the kde environment. is that correct?
[18:57] <provo1> !selinux
[18:57] <Susie> Gnea: Well, as I was saying, I was hoping to get an adapter cable, so something like a VGA to RCA cable, but I read that these often don't work...
[18:57] <nomike> hi!
[18:57] <giuseppe_> you are right... escuse me... I'll be waiting for... Thanks in advance! :-)
[18:57] <Slart> tspike: I haven't messed with either sendmail or chkconfig so I have no idea how to fix that
[18:57] <nomike> I have a problem with WLAN with one of my pc's.
[18:57] <tspike> Slart: :/ Google is pretty sparse for this issue
[18:58] <toader_> onetinsoldier: no, it is gnome
[18:58] <saxin> Hello. Will GeForce 9800GTX be supported in Ubuntu 8.10? Anything I should be aware of?
[18:58] <medoctron> Susie: what a graphics card do you use? and what connection possibilities does it have?
[18:58] <Gnea> Susie: It may or may not work, so yeah, it's a gamble.  What TV are you trying to hook up to?
[18:58] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: look at where the audio cables are plugged in - are they near the keyboard and mouse plugs, or are they lower down running in a horizontal row (I'm assuming your pc is a tower)
[18:58] <Susie> Gnea: Well, it's just an average crt TV.
[18:59] <Slart> saxin: check the nvidia linux site and see what versions of their driver support the 9800gtx.. then check what version is in the ubuntu repos
[18:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Susie you can check our supported hardware page
[18:59] <onetinsoldier> toader_: oh.. i see.. but you are usingsome kde stuff? you mentioned Konsole, which is a kde thing
[18:59] <Slart> saxin: I think it's supported.. but I'm not entirely sure.. myself I have a 8800gtx which works nicely
[18:59] <Karn> is there any way to get networking up and running after apt-get remove network-manager ? I was going to install wicd but forgot I needed network to install it :)
[18:59] <craxpt> can any1 help me with an errors in wubi?? straight boot, no error message and just drops me in grub4dos prompt; typing boot, i get Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting; typing kernel /ubuntu/winboot/wubilfr.mbr i get a successful linux image loaded; typing boot afterwards, system hangs
[18:59] <Susie> medoctron: I'm using an Intel graphics card.  That was a config that worked on 2 different TVs for me, but on one older tv it doesnt work
[19:01] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: ok so you are using a separate soundcard rather than the one built into the mainboard
[19:01] <onetinsoldier> toader_: and delete dirs like....  .gvfs and .qt
[19:01] <Susie> medoctron: I don't know what an s-video to Cinch converter is...
[19:02] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep i suppose that's probably the case, yes
[19:02] <n8tuser> Karn-> are you booted up on the new install?
[19:02] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep although, i will note that the place the speakers is plugged in is on the same metal block as the usb and all the other stuff
[19:02] <toader_> onetinsoldier: what does mean "after shutting down gdm with invoke-rc.d gdm stop"
[19:02] <onetinsoldier> toader_: again, kind of drastic, but it might fix your problem
[19:03] <onetinsoldier> toader_: it means shutting down your window manager AND your display manager
[19:03] <sonny> 日本、お持ちの
[19:03] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: hang on, you said  "the speakers and headphones are plugged into a row of 3 slots running sideways that are a ways below the USB and keyboard slots", and then that the speakers are plugged in near the usb?
[19:04] <Slart> Karn: by the way.. what kind of internet connection are you using?
[19:04] <Slart> Karn: if it's a simple wire connection it's probably easier to just config it and be done with it
[19:04] <medoctron> Susie: give me a moment...
[19:04]  * Sushil has left this server ("Kopete 0.12.7 : http://kopete.kde.org").
[19:04] <Susie> medoctron: okay
[19:05] <NewtuUbuntu> spasysheep i'm sorry for the poor communication. basically what i'm saying is that the slots they are plugged into are on the same large metal rectangle as the usb slots and the keyboard/mouse slots, however, they are at the very bottom of that piece of metal. they are not completely separate, though, so I'm not sure what that means, perhaps they are plugged into the motherboard? The only other place I see to plug things in is
[19:05] <NewtuUbuntu>  the place where my printer cable is plugged in.
[19:05] <Sushil> /leave *whatever
[19:05] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: ok so you are in fact using onboard sound card then
[19:06] <NewtuUbuntu> spassysheep ha ha, sorry once again, that's not my printer cable that's my monitor cable
[19:06] <onetinsoldier> toader_: if you do it... delete the following..  .config .dbus .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gvfs .qt and .kde and .mcop stuff
[19:06] <Spasysheep> NewtuUbuntu: run less /proc/asound/modules in a terminal - whats the output?
[19:06] <medoctron> Susie: can i qry you?
[19:07] <NewtuUbuntu>  0 snd_intel8x0
[19:07] <NewtuUbuntu>  1 snd_mpu401
[19:07] <lianimator> how do I start a program (gimp) so that it uses 100% CPU, of a dual core cpu?
[19:07] <Susie> medoctron: I'm sorry. What does that mean?
[19:07] <onetinsoldier> toader_: and anything else that looks to be gnome or kde related that starts with a  .
[19:07] <Karn> Slart, I'm using Wireless
[19:07] <jrib> lianimator: that doesn't really make much sense to me
[19:07] <Slart> Karn: ah.. nevermind then..
[19:07] <psycardis> Is it possible to make a custom keyboard shortcut using the escape key?
[19:08] <toader_> onetinsoldier: ok, thx
[19:08] <medoctron> Susie: something like private chat
[19:08] <onetinsoldier> toader_: ok, all i can is good luck. again, i don't even know if that'll fix it
[19:08] <Karn> n8tuser, yeah i'm booted in on the laptop (no gui - removed gnome)
[19:08] <toader_> onetinsoldier: how to restart to console without starting up the X-window?
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> psycardis not that I am awaroe of
[19:08] <lianimator> When I do some blurring or such on gimp, it uses only 50% of the CPU. I want it to use both of the processors.
[19:08] <toader_> onetinsoldier: i will come back and tell u a moment
[19:08] <Susie> medoctron: yeah, sure, I guess
[19:09] <n8tuser> Karn-> okay np,  is it connected via ethernet on your router to the isp?
[19:09] <onetinsoldier> toader... exit your window manager(log out). go to a console only terminal(ctrl+alt+f1 for example)... then  invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[19:09] <medoctron> Susie: okay, you should see a new tab (i hope ;) )
[19:09] <jrib> lianimator: well if the algorithm isn't programmed to run in parallel you'll have a tough time doing that
[19:09] <n8tuser> Karn-> what is the ip address of your laptop?
[19:09] <lianimator> jrib: oh okay, thanks
[19:09] <onetinsoldier> toader_: to start it up again... invoke-rc.d gdm start
[19:10] <Karn> n8tuser, it doesnt have one :) it was connected over wireless but after removing network-manager it doesnt have the ra0 interface
[19:10] <jrib> lianimator: you might check with #gimp to see if it's possible or not
[19:10] <zsquareplusc> lianimator: dual core?
[19:10] <toader_> onetinsoldier: ok, see u later
[19:10] <n8tuser> Karn-> can you not connect it using an ethernet cable? thats okay too to use ethernet,
[19:11] <Karn> n8tuser, I dont have a spare port on the router (and the router is in the loft)
[19:11] <lianimator> zsquareplusc: yes.
[19:11] <giuseppe_> hi all, during boot phase I read this message "Activating swapfile swap [FAILED]" - What can I do to solve it?
[19:11] <n1lo> How Can I update to ubuntu testing ou unstable?
[19:11] <n8tuser> Karn-> do you recall which chip your wifi uses?
[19:12] <zsquareplusc> lianimator: in that case 50% means it fully uses one of the CPUs.  unfortunately many programs only use a single processor today.
[19:12] <Karn> rt2860 i think
[19:12] <Karn> its an eee 901
[19:12] <Karn> if that helps
[19:13] <track_> Hi... i'm using hardy with proview pc81001 netbook. after i upgrade the kernel from 2.6.24 to 2.6.27, my usb pen driver is not automounting anymore
[19:13] <psycardis> Is it possible to make a custom keyboard shortcut using the <Esc> key?
[19:13] <track_> can anybody help me?
[19:13] <n8tuser> Karn-> okay do this, can you post in pastebin the contents of  /etc/network/interfaces
[19:14] <giuseppe_> anyone can help me about a failed message during boot?
[19:14] <mimcpher> So I'm trying to figure out the config-less Xorg drugs.  I want to change some options for my synaptics touchpad, but I'm not sure how to set up X without breaking its fancy configless setup
[19:14] <psycardis> track_ how did you upgrade the kernel?
[19:14] <Turl> hi, I'm having a problem with brasero
[19:15] <track_> i got the .config from the intrepid linux image package
[19:15] <rambo298> i downloaded an openoffice writer labels template .otg file; what directory should it be put in?
[19:15] <track_> then i compiled a custom kernel from official <IP_ADDRESS> version (from kernel.org)
[19:16] <track_> the system is working well for everything but the automount
[19:16] <sYskk> hey im trying to mount a LaCie external HD... im able to read it but not write to it
[19:17] <Karn> n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/d815109a
[19:17] <sYskk> probably cause it was formatted on windows
[19:17] <sYskk> anyone knows if its possible to write ntfs from linus ?
[19:17] <zsquareplusc> !ntfs
[19:17] <Turl> sYskk: it is
[19:17] <Turl> !NTFS-3g
[19:18] <n8tuser> Karn-> edit that file and add this line   iface ra0 inet dhcp;
[19:18] <n1lo> how can I use a unstable packages?
[19:18] <n8tuser> Karn-> auto ra0
[19:18] <n8tuser> Karn those are two lines added
[19:18] <Turl> anyone has prol
[19:19] <Turl> problems with brasero giving errors at the end of the disk?
[19:19] <Karn> n8tuser, ok now /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[19:19] <n8tuser> Karn-> am assuming here rt2860  will be name ra0
[19:19] <Karn> yeah
[19:19] <n8tuser> Karn-> no, try this    sudo  ifup ra0
[19:19] <track_> Hi... i'm using hardy with proview pc81001 netbook. after i upgrade the kernel from 2.6.24 to 2.6.27, my usb pen driver is not automounting anymore.
[19:19] <onetinsoldier> n1lo: there are option in synaptic to enable 'proposed updates' repos..that what you're looking for?
[19:19] <track_> can anybody help me?
[19:19] <DasEi> !ask | track
[19:19] <n1lo> onetinsoldier, I want to upgrade my ubuntu to testing or unstable.
[19:20] <onetinsoldier> n1lo: that i don't know.. so keep asking every once in a while
[19:20] <n1lo> onetinsoldier, to use programs more new.
[19:20] <Karn> n8tuser, No such device
[19:20] <DRebellion> n1lo, are you from a debian background?
[19:21] <DRebellion> n1lo, in ubuntu, the closest there is to 'unstable' or 'testing' would be the current development release, i.e. currently jaunty.
[19:21] <onetinsoldier> n1lo: i only know how to do that with plain old debian.. i don't know with ubuntu
[19:21] <n8tuser> Karn-> do this to verify if the driver is loaded,    lshw -C network  and post results in pastebin
[19:21] <zsquareplusc> n1lo: then you need to know how to fix your systems from time to time and you probably want to go to #ubuntu+1
[19:22] <_pretorian_> Hi guys!! i have a problem with xvidcap!! Can sombody help me?
[19:22] <clouder`grr> When I click on the user switcher and choose guest session all it does it ask me for my password and relogs me back into my account.  Any ideas?
[19:22] <Karn> n8tuser, i just did a modprobe rt2860sta
[19:22] <n1lo> DRebellion, +-, Years ago I used debian and ubuntu. In these years I use ArchLinux, and 2 weaks ago I try ubuntu, again.
[19:23] <n8tuser> Karn-> do this to verify if the driver is loaded,    lshw -C network  and post results in pastebin
[19:23] <DRebellion> n1lo, jaunty is pretty unstable: don't be surprised if your system trashes itself.
[19:23] <Brack10> trying to install XP sp3 on Ubuntu Intriped with Vbox 2.0.4...it hangs at 33 minutes while "installing devices".  Tried unplugging my ethernet as a few threads suggested and it still is frozen.  Anyone know what I can do?
[19:23] <Karn> n8tuser, I got it working thanks :)
[19:24] <zsquareplusc> clouder`grr: that means starting the guest session fails. i think it should run a second X server. maybe you find a /var/log/Xorg.log file for the second screen.
[19:24] <n8tuser> Karn-> you're welcome
[19:24] <n1lo> DRebellion, hm, I'll back to Archlinux. Tks. =]
[19:25] <zsquareplusc> Brack10: did you check in the #vbox channel?
[19:25] <Brack10> yeah nobody seems too interested in my problem there, zsquareplusc
[19:25] <randal> Does anyone know how to install desklets plz
[19:26] <igor47> does anyone know how to install just the dependencies for a package? or how to keep the dependencies around after the package has been removed?
[19:26] <Nutt718> how do you install a .tar.bz2 file after extracting to desktop
[19:26] <igor47> Nutt718: depends on what was in the archive. look for instructions where you got it
[19:27]  * H4U linux noob
[19:27] <DasEi> !compile | Nutt718
[19:27] <H4U> Any idea when trying to install Ubuntu it stops and goes to initramfs ??
[19:27] <H4U> I tried the text based version of Ubuntu install but after settings it says "Your installation CD-Rom could't be mounted".
[19:27] <dorkface> !zsh
[19:27] <mrwes> re
[19:27] <randal> Does anyone know how to run a script plz help
[19:27] <toader> onetinsoldier: I am back. Thank u very much. The problem is solved!!
[19:27] <nj32> Nutt718: Read README and INSTALL file in archive
[19:27] <DasEi> Nutt718: also copy the tarball to /usr/smwhere before, better
[19:27] <onetinsoldier> igor: as far as keeping stuff around after removal.. use aptitude and mark the packages as 'manually' installed rahter than automatically. m and M toggle the auto/manual marking
[19:27] <mrwes> randal: bash script?
[19:28] <mrwes> randal: sh scriptname
[19:28] <Nutt718> it's a netowrk driver from realtek.com
[19:28] <igor47> onetinsoldier: thx, lemme try that
[19:28] <randal> mrwes:  its a desklet and it has a script
[19:28] <mrwes> randal: yes
[19:28] <randal> mrwes: i was just reading it i figured it out thanks anyway
[19:28] <onetinsoldier> toader: YES! very cool.. i was hoping that would work! asthat was a somewhat drastic measure. You're Welcome!
[19:29] <toader> onetinsoldier: ya,
[19:29] <onetinsoldier> igor47: you're welcome
[19:29] <mrwes> randal: did you make is executable?
[19:29] <mrwes> er...Ok
[19:29] <DasEi> randal: apt-cache search deskllets
[19:29] <DasEi> randal: apt-cache search desklets
[19:30] <randal> mrwes: DasEi ill try that
[19:30] <mrwes> I for one, like the nautilus scripts
[19:30] <randal> DasEi: it does nothing
[19:30] <zsquareplusc> !find desklets
[19:31] <randal> DasEi:  i downloaded a desklet from gnome look and i dont know how to install it
[19:31] <RizR> got a mounted vfat drive. how do I make it writeable by all users on client side when shared using samba?
[19:31] <zsquareplusc> you shoudl find these unless you dont have universe adn multiverse repositories enabled
[19:32] <DasEi> randal: , ah, I see tarball or deb ?
[19:32] <mrwes> Just take the bash scripts and stick them in /home/bill/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and you're off
[19:32] <Threetimes> How do I enable +20DB boost for recording? It works for playback, not for recording.
[19:32] <mrwes> RizR: change the perms on the mount point
[19:32] <randal> DasEi: its a tarball
[19:32] <Gnea> Threetimes: in the mixer
[19:32] <zsquareplusc> RizR: each han has its own samba account?  if you mount the drive manually (fstab) you can add a gid, and you have to put the samba users in that group you specify
[19:33] <DasEi> !compile | randal
[19:33] <Threetimes> There is no boost in the recording tab, there is on the playback tab, but I need both
[19:33] <RizR> zsquareplusc: yes. I think i found it. suid on client side goes the trick. any better way?
[19:33] <toader> onetinsoldier: wait. my eclipse cannot accept the input again
[19:33] <SmokeyD> hey people. I changed my partition table. Everything boots normally except that the boot screen does not show completely anymore.
[19:34] <randal> DasEi: i dont unerstand what it wants me to do
[19:34] <Threetimes> in the switches tab, ther is "Mic Auto Gian", it doesn't have any effect
[19:34] <Gnea> Threetimes: okay, the boost is an overall for the mic, so once it's on, it's on. the mic only accepts input sound, it doesn't produce output sound, therefore the boost is only for recording.
[19:34] <SmokeyD> I had that before and if I remember right there was a file where I had to set the partition where the resume image resides
[19:34] <SmokeyD> which is the uuid of the swap partition
[19:34] <SmokeyD> but I forgot which file that was
[19:35] <DasEi> randal : you got to unpack and compile the tarball, first install build-essential, read the link^
[19:35] <onetinsoldier> toader: well, i'm not sure if i know how to fix the problem any further
[19:35]  * gkirk is trying to figure out why wvdial can dial modem ok, but gnomePPP can't find it
[19:35] <randal> DasEi: i dont understand what to do to compile it why do i need to compile it
[19:35] <gkirk> both are pointing to same device
[19:35] <SmokeyD> now the graphical boot screen only shows the progressbar going from left to right a couple of times and then it switches to the text version of the boot process
[19:35] <jimbecile> question: I set my resolution/refresh rate too high for my Dell 1905fp monitor and now I can't change it back
[19:35] <Gnea> Threetimes: the recording tab handles stream flows at a different level, so you don't have to worry about it - ALSA will carry the boosted sound to the recording software.
[19:35] <gkirk> and I need to set up something my mom can use
[19:35] <jimbecile> I've tried running dpkg
[19:35] <SmokeyD> which completes fine, otherwise
[19:35] <DasEi> randal: that's the way it installs
[19:35] <SmokeyD> any ideas?
[19:35] <jimbecile> and editing xorg.conf
[19:35] <zsquareplusc> gkirk: are you running them with a different user? are you in the dialout group?
[19:35] <jimbecile> with no results
[19:36] <Threetimes> Gnea: Anyway, it doesn't work. I can hear myself loud and clear when I talk into it, but in Sound Recorder I can hardly hear myself. I audacity I use +36 dB to hear myself, but with a lot of noise
[19:36] <gkirk> zsquareplusc: same user
[19:36] <randal> DasEi: why do they have to make it so complicated
[19:36] <Threetimes> Same for Skype
[19:36] <DasEi> randal: to make it suitable for diff. distros
[19:37] <Gnea> Threetimes: have you tried any other recorders?
[19:37] <zsquareplusc> gkirk: running both from the same shell?
[19:37] <mrwes> heck I remember having to compile kernels in Slackwarze
[19:37] <mrwes> heh
[19:37] <gkirk> and just checked, is in dialout group
[19:37] <gkirk> haven't tried gnomeppp from same shell
[19:37] <onetinsoldier> randal: what are you trying to compile?
[19:37] <gkirk> was clicking on it from dock
[19:38] <TJ-42> on ubuntu 8.10, I am able to get the system to recognize my bluetooth mouse.  After I restart however, it is unable to connect to or pair with the mouse.  My only option is to remove the mouse from the bluetooth devices and add it again separately.  any ideas?
[19:38] <lianimator> which web development software has auto-completion for html, javascript and css? native to Ubuntu is preferred.
[19:38] <zsquareplusc> gkirk: if you just changed the groups for your user, you might have to re-log in to make the change active
[19:38] <Threetimes> Gnea: No, what do you use?
[19:38] <mrjohnsen> Can anyone help me with BIND? I have a small lan with a BIND server, gateway server and a client. BIND runs without errors when I do a nslookup on one of the servers I get this:
[19:38] <mrjohnsen> ** server can't find gateway.bed.local.bed.local: SERVFAIL
[19:38] <randal> onetinsoldier: a desklet i got from gnome look
[19:38] <mrjohnsen> I type nslookup gateway.bed.local and it responses with bed.local.bed.local .. why?
[19:38] <gkirk> zsquareplusc: I just checked gnome-ppp log, getting a permission denied on device
[19:39] <onetinsoldier> randal: roger... i 'might' be able to help you in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:39] <Gnea> Threetimes: usually audacity, but sound recorder should pick it up just fine - see if it sounds different. the problem is probably with audacity, you may need to turn up the switch on it.
[19:39] <gkirk> hmm maybe I had used sudo to run, it's been a while
[19:39] <randal> onetinsoldier: ok
[19:39] <Threetimes> Audacity and Sound Recorder are the same
[19:39] <Gnea> mrjohnsen: it's an invalid host/domain
[19:40] <zsquareplusc> mrjohnsen: do youhave your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf? and when there is a search entry, it will also try to find your computers with that text appended to the name.
[19:40] <Gnea> Threetimes: negative, they are 2 independently written programs.
[19:40] <zsquareplusc> Gnea: .local is valid. it's used for zeroconf
[19:40] <gkirk> zsquareplusc: ah, that must have been it!
[19:41] <Threetimes> Gnea: I mean I sound the same in both programs
[19:41] <gkirk> I changed the group on the device, which was uucp
[19:41] <Gnea> zsquareplusc: not if it isn't defined in a local dns server.
[19:41] <gkirk> heh, sometimes just helps to have someone to talk through problem
[19:41] <gkirk> thankjs
[19:41] <Alex_WuP> hey I have a little problem here, if I try to log out there apears just a black screen and it is not frezed. My OS Kubuntu, laterst vesion
[19:41] <Gnea> Threetimes: and you've turned up the volume on the mic?
[19:41] <mon^rch> what's the best audio multitrack editor to use?
[19:42] <Threetimes> Gnea: Ot's on max
[19:42] <Threetimes> It's on max
[19:42] <Gnea> Threetimes: well, you can always use audacity to boost the recording later.
[19:43] <Threetimes> Too much noise, and I want it to work with skype.
[19:43] <maximus_> hey!
[19:43] <Gnea> aah
[19:43] <Gnea> !skype
[19:43] <Gnea> Threetimes: check those out ^^
[19:43] <Threetimes> I have skype and it actually works
[19:43] <iCondoulo> ok, I have a 160GB drive. I want to split it between /, /swap, and /home. I'm giving 1GB to SWAP. How much should I put towards / and /home
[19:43] <Gnea> - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[19:44] <Threetimes> But the volume is too low
[19:44] <Threetimes> that's the only problem
[19:44] <maximus_> I would like to know if it's normal to mount the swap during start of the operating system
[19:44] <Threetimes> and I want it fixed in all other programs, too
[19:44] <Gnea> Threetimes: have you tried talking louder?
[19:44] <juanez> iCondoulo: depends on your requirements, doesnt it ;)
[19:44] <mike1504> can anyone help with the following?Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed

[19:44] <FloodBot2> mike1504: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:44] <Threetimes> that's no real option (I tried)
[19:44] <juanez> iCondoulo: i dont see the great benefit of dividing / and /home really
[19:44] <UnknownUser57> iCondoulo,/swap == sizeof RAM * 1.5 ,/home 100gb ,/ rest
[19:45] <clouder`grr> zsquareplusc: thanks.  I was looking at the logs, didn't see anything so I decided to try it again to see if I got a newer log and it just decided to work this time.  very strange.  Thanks again though for response and eventual fix :D
[19:45] <Gnea> Threetimes: why not?
[19:45] <iCondoulo> juanez, well, if I decide to reinstall the OS, I want to keep /home
[19:45] <n8tuser> juanez-> you have not had a system fail on you? separating /home make its easy for recovery
[19:45] <iCondoulo> UnknownUser57, I've decided on 1GB SWAP because I've noticed SWAP is never in use for me.
[19:46] <zsquareplusc> iCondoulo: i have 30GB for / and its 30% filled
[19:46] <jimbecile> eh, i'll just reinstall
[19:46] <Threetimes> The rest of my family, the street, and my voice won't like it. And it doesn't help enough
[19:46] <juanez> n8tuser: well, i dont really care much about the stuff in /home i guess.. never use ;)
[19:46] <jimbecile> but it would be nice if the resolution-changing config had a failsafe that switched back if a button wasn't clicked
[19:47] <keri> I finally got my website up and goind.  With help from Seb.  Can anyone go and see it and tell me what u think and look and see if any error with comma, sounds right and spelling please please please.
[19:47] <iCondoulo> ok. thanks for the input everybody. :)
[19:47] <n8tuser> juanez-> so give a better advise for the rainy day stuff
[19:47] <zsquareplusc> iCondoulo: you don't really need swap if you haev a lot of RAM. though a few megabytes can still be helpful. however if you plan to use hibernation you need a lot of swap as the memory image is stored there
[19:47] <juanez> n8tuser: mmh

[19:48] <kristian1> zsquareplusc & juanez : thanks! :D
[19:49] <Gnea> Threetimes: I'm not sure then... I've always had good luck with filtering and increasing audio with audacity, so it sounds like you're just resistant to trying something new with the program.
[19:49] <Threetimes> Gnea: any idea?
[19:49] <madrid> hola
[19:49] <garryfre> I need to find the eZap program.  And what for skype?
[19:50] <Gnea> Threetimes: if it's skype that's your primary issue, then you'll need to play around with the settings on it some more... maybe get a better headset
[19:51] <mike1504> Keri, the website looks nice
[19:51] <Poring> Could some one give me a hand in trying to install a "proper" driver for my graphics card ?
[19:51] <Threetimes> Gnea: all headsets/microphones I have tried in my life need +20dB

[19:53] <Threetimes> That can be it, I do use pulseaudio
[19:53] <Gnea> Threetimes: I have seen more problems solved by disabling it:  sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop
[19:53] <Threetimes> I'll try it, but is there no solution with pulseoudio?
[19:53] <mike1504> Can anyone help with this?  Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed  http://paste.ubuntu.com/85278/
[19:54] <allsystemsarego> Scunizi, ipe
[19:54] <Gnea> !pulseaudio
[19:54] <Gnea> it's not really even necessary
[19:54] <nflmvp> im trying to mount my root directory as a nfs share on another computer....when i try to mount i get mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting <IP_ADDRESS>:/
[19:54] <Gnea> if anything, it's optional
[19:54] <ArrPirate> Is there a way to encrypt certain folders in ubuntu?
[19:54] <Scunizi> allsystemsarego: ipe?  I gotta laugh at some of the linux naming.. is that a program name or an acronym for a comment? :)
[19:55] <garryfre> I'm not sure, but I seem to remember you can't share the entire root directory ... it probably has security settings that over-ride it. Might try a plain directory and see how that goes.
[19:55] <allsystemsarego> Scunizi, ipe - drawing editor for creating figures in PDF or PS formats
[19:55] <DIL> keri: photgallery is white space
[19:55] <obf213> hey. ubuntu used to have a legit keyring manager where you could view stored passwords.
[19:55] <Gnea> There may be problems with getting sound from Adobe Flash v. 9 and earlier, Wine and Skype when these applications use the ALSA protocol. The sound is supposed to go through the "pulse" plugin in ALSA, that passes it to PulseAudio, where it get mixed with all other sound, and passed on to a audio interface.
[19:55] <allsystemsarego> Scunizi, pdftoipe - converts arbitrary PDF file to XML file readable by Ipe
[19:55] <Scunizi> allsystemsarego: thanks.. just looking at it now in synaptic..
[19:55] <obf213> now if i ever want to look at  password all i see is encryption what happened ot the keyreing manager?
[19:56] <Gnea> Threetimes: clearly, that says it all.
[19:56] <woli> hi
[19:56] <lubosz> hi
[19:56] <mrjohnsen> Any tips on how I can troubleshoot dns / bind for a local network? can't nslook up hosts..
[19:56] <woli> is there some kind of mac application emulator?
[19:56] <lubosz> what happened to this in intrepid? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/atlas3-base
[19:56] <dmhardison> Trying to setup a server using syslog to grab other machines logs, but I wanted to have each machines log placed into a folder according to their hostname, can someone point me in the right direction?  I've done it a while back with syslog-ng, but I'm not sure how to do the hostname thing with ubuntu's logger.
[19:57] <jhambo> Hi folks my wireless seems to periodically disconnect and after disconnecting it takes several tries to get it to reconnect.  In my dmesg I see http://paste.debian.net/23624/. Any thoughts on how I might fix this very frustrating problem?
[19:57] <malv1> anyone know why the alternate installer is telling me that the x86_64 bit kernel is incompatable with my 64-bit amd 3200 cpu?
[19:57] <keri> DIL:  working on that, need to get one up and going
[19:57] <MAINFRAME_LINDEB> hii
[19:58] <Threetimes> Gnea: I have to go, but disabling pulseaudio doesn't work
[19:58] <SPF> what is the root password after installation? Installation asked me only about the user's password
[19:58] <Gnea> Threetimes: you may need to restart some things after stopping pulseaudio. good luck.
[19:58] <ikonia> SPF there is no password, you use sudo
[19:59] <Gnea> !sudo | SPF
[19:59] <atb101010> onetinsoldier: are you still there?
[19:59] <dmhardison> hmm. I suppose I can upgrade all the machines to syslog-ng, this is going to be a pain.
[20:00] <Gnea> dmhardison: syslog-ng rocks.
[20:00] <hexa-> hello
[20:00] <Gnea> dmhardison: the pain is worth it. :)
[20:00] <onetinsoldier> atb101010: yes.. i'm heere..what's up?
[20:00] <hexa-> my pulseaudio-daemon keeps dying due to its soft-cpu-limit. i am only watching a movie in totem and i tried several more, none works longer than 10 seconds
[20:00] <bthompson> kernel vmlinuz what does this mean?
[20:01] <Gnea> !server | dmhardison
[20:01] <dmhardison> Is there such a thing that will let me execute the same command among multiple machines?  I have a cluster, it would be nice if I could tell them all the remove syslog and then install syslog-ng
[20:02] <atb101010> onetinsoldier: wanted to thank you for the advice, installed ubuntu 8.10 directly from iso image via cd drive, seems to have worked...
[20:02] <SPF> ikonia: nm, modified /etc/shadow, works now
[20:02] <onetinsoldier> bthompson: might depend on where you are seeing that. pretty much means a compressed bootable linux kernel image
[20:02] <Gnea> dmhardison: i don't think so..
[20:03] <bthompson> im trying to create a persistent bootable flash drive..
[20:03] <SPF> is there a solution for simulating activesync so that internet sharing is possible with windows mobile devices?
[20:03] <ikonia> SPF: well, if you wan't to break the ubuntu security model, thats your call
[20:03] <bthompson> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar-p2
[20:03] <bthompson> was following these instructions..and get to the part to edit. the syslinux.cfg
[20:03] <Kalid> man, 1480 users!
[20:03] <ikonia> SPF: the windows mobile devices should be able to connect on ip
[20:03] <c_newbie> hi, i got error while i want to run php5-cli under my debian etch 64bit:  The server requires pcntl_fork() to work. Make sure you are running the server on a POSIX machine. anyone would help me regarding this issue? what should i do in apt-get ?
[20:03] <onetinsoldier> atb101010: cool.. very good! LjL, an op on here is the one who told me about unetbootin, so he is the one to really thank
[20:03] <ikonia> c_newbie: join #debian for debian support please
[20:04] <bthompson> i boot the drive and select start ubuntu in persistent mode and it comes up with a screen that show boot loader vmlinuz and an ok button and never boots
[20:04] <bthompson> so i am thinking this are older instructions..because im trying with 8.10
[20:04] <onetinsoldier> atb101010: however, i might be a little confused by what you said ---> directly from iso image via cd drive,    via cd drive?
[20:04] <SPF> ikonia: and the other way around? I was expecting a new nic when connecting to my mobile
[20:04] <ikonia> SPF: ooh you want your mobile to act as the internet connected device
[20:05] <arthur_> i want to make a ringtone for my phone 1. is there a program that will trim .mp3's and 2. i need to save or convert it to 3g2 format for my samsung a900 ..
[20:05] <ikonia> SPF: apologies thought you wanted it the other way around
[20:05] <SPF> yes
[20:05] <jpastore> I'm trying to restore my old hdd to my new hdd I just installed in my laptop. I basically did a fresh install then rsynced everything over. grub is complaining and leaves me in  an initramfs prompt. what can I do to fix this? I tried installing grub from the old drive.
[20:05] <ikonia> SPF: there are sync programs but they are normally just that, as active sync is a bit of a black art
[20:05] <osmosis> how do I record audio in linux that is playing from a random source, like a flash applet in firefox?
[20:05] <atb101010> just installed ubuntu 8.10 but cannot seem to see any network devices installed under my network manager...any clues?

[20:07] <mrjohnsen> Any tips on how I can troubleshoot dns / bind for a local network? can't nslook up hosts..
[20:07] <ikonia> SPF: if you can see it as a bluetooth modem you maybe able to
[20:07] <ikonia> SPF: I can do it with my nokia, but they are quite well supported
[20:07] <SPF> ikonia: it's connected using usb
[20:07] <ikonia> mrjohnsen: look at the dns server's logs
[20:07] <dmhardison> Is there any suggested software/way to keep all my machines software in sync with each other?
[20:08] <ikonia> dmhardison: use a local repo
[20:08] <malv1> does the 64-bit kernel work with the amd single core + series?
[20:08] <ikonia> dmhardison: or in what way do you mean in sync
[20:08] <onetinsoldier> atb101010: did you burn the .iso directly as a file to the cd rather than burn it to the cd in .iso format? is that what you meant by --> installed ubuntu 8.10 directly from iso image via cd drive,
[20:08] <ikonia> malv1: both
[20:08] <SPF> ikonia: when I connected using usb, on the mobile device it's possible to select "internet sharing"
[20:08] <ikonia> SPF: does that work ?
[20:08] <SPF> ikonia: although nothing happens on the ubuntu system
[20:08] <atb101010> onetinsoldier: meaning that i managed to install 8.10 from dvd, whereas i was not able to do that with 8.04. I did download unetbootin and created 8.04 image on usb but that didn't work either. Seems that you were correct in your assessment of possible bug in 8.04
[20:08] <mrjohnsen> ikonia: /var/logs/messages?
[20:08] <SPF> ikonia: well, there's some activity in /var/messages
[20:08] <ikonia> SPF: what are you expecting to happen
[20:09] <ikonia> mrjohnsen: no, the dns servers log files,
[20:09] <arthur_> i want to make a ringtone for my phone 1. is there a program that will trim .mp3's and 2. i need to save or convert it to 3g2 format for my samsung a900 ..
[20:09] <malv1> ikonia: when I boot from the alternate CD it says that my cpu is not an x86-64 bit cpu
[20:09] <SPF> ikonia: a new nic in /dev
[20:09] <ikonia> mrjohnsen: but you can get some info out of the syslog
[20:09] <ikonia> malv1: what cpu do you have?
[20:09] <ikonia> SPF: can you configure ubuntu to use that nic as the detaulf route ?
[20:09] <malv1> ikonia: amd 3200+
[20:09] <onetinsoldier> atb101010: roger...  --> assessment of possible bug in 8.04  ..you mean 8.10 there don't you?
[20:09] <ikonia> malv1: what type of amd 3200
[20:10] <malv1> ikonia: the single core version
[20:10] <yao_ziyuan1> till now i can still not mix sounds
[20:10] <yao_ziyuan1> my sound card is intel ich5
[20:10] <SPF> ikonia: I was expecting a new nic, but no new nic was created after usb connection with the mobile device
[20:10] <yao_ziyuan1> in kde 3/4 i can.
[20:10] <ikonia> malv1: your not using any virtualisation are you
[20:10] <ikonia> SPF nic's don't appear in /dev
[20:11] <yao_ziyuan1> can anyone tell me how exactly should i configure Multimedia Systems Selector and Sounds
[20:11] <malv1> ikonia: nope
[20:11] <Slart> SPF: if I want to use the internet connection that the phone uses I have to use the phone as a modem but call a special number.. something like *3
[20:11] <malv1> ikonia: I am booting from a USB drive instead of a CD though
[20:11] <xiamx> I'm interested in Build from source tool just like apt-build, is there any tool similar or related?
[20:11] <ikonia> malv1: Hmmm not sure how that would effect things
[20:11] <ikonia> Slart: same as me
[20:11] <malv1> ikonia: and I am using the alternate installer
[20:11] <Slart> SPF: there were some special settings in the at-commands too.. but I think that might depends on the operator and the phone
[20:12] <keolo> hello anyone know a good way to install aptitude if it's missing?
[20:12] <malv1> i am going to try it with the live cd and see if it makes a difference
[20:12] <ikonia> malv1 yes, but I'm just trying to think how a usb boot would effect things
[20:12] <SPF> Slart: if I connect the mobile phone to a windows pc, the windows pc creates a new nic, and that will be your default gateway. Should work in a similar way on ubuntu
[20:12] <Slart> keolo: apt-get install aptitude would be my first guess
[20:12] <keolo> i'm on 8.10
[20:12] <ikonia> keolo how would it be missing ?
[20:12] <keolo> yeah tried that ... no dice
[20:12] <atb101010> onetinsoldier: i was able to install 8.04 initially, though after a couple of boots system would not boot from either hd or dvd drive...switched to 8.10 and was able to install 8.10 onto hd from dvd, seems to be running now (cross fingers)
[20:12] <keolo> not sure why it's missing
[20:12] <Alex_WuP> hey I have a little problem here, if I try to log out there apears just a black screen and it is not frezed. My OS Kubuntu, laterst vesion
[20:12] <Slart> SPF: that might be a driver feature in the windows driver..
[20:12] <keolo> maybe it's ubuntu-minimal?
[20:12] <Eroick> is there a way to install all of the ubuntustudio audio stuff on top of an existing ubuntu install?
[20:12] <onetinsoldier> atb101010: roger that. cool.. enjoy!
[20:12] <mrjohnsen> ikonia: ok. where is the dns serverlog located? :p
[20:13] <Slart> SPF: or do you have some other example of mobiles that work that way in linux?
[20:13] <Ab3L> bye

[20:14] <SPF> Slart: yes, it's called RNDIS driver

[20:16] <Eroick> elostio: will that include the low-latency kernel?
[20:16] <elostio> no idea

[20:20] <MarvinPA> (I do know what Pastebin is.  I think it's something about how windows creates the dvd.. can't remember the details
[20:22] <Gnea> tood: probably because they weren't burnt correctly
[20:23] <caveman26> I have 1024Mb of ram and ubuntu only sees 1011. I have no shared video so why is it doing that?
[20:23] <rookeeeeeeeee> the audio on my bluetooth headset is choppy. how can I fix it?
[20:23] <Gnea> MarvinPA: hrm, sounds like something went wrong with the installation. can you reboot into windows and uninstall/reinstall it?
[20:23] <tood> well no someone told me only dvds that burnd by vista system only vista can read it no other system can figure it out
[20:23] <Slart> caveman26: how do you find out that ubuntu only seens 1011?
[20:23] <fehomi> my school's DHCP server isn't responding to DHCP_DISCOVER on my linux machine but it connects fine on Windows (even via the same ethernet cable!)

[20:24] <johndoe> does ubuntu have amd64 and ia64 or just 64bit ?

[20:26] <tood> my second day in linux i mean
[20:26] <caveman26> ubuntu has alwase shorted my ram like that, its never been a problem, im only curious about it.. the kernel explanation is probably why, since i have a dedicated geforce video card that doesnt share ram
[20:26] <dutchbuntu> When I start connecting a new device, my phone shows up
[20:26] <dutchbuntu> i select it, click 'Forward'
[20:26] <johndoe> tood: second day in vista and you need to open the dvds in linux??
[20:26] <Slart> dutchbuntu: ok.. have you tried right clicking on that bluetooth icon and chosing "Setup new device"?
[20:26] <dutchbuntu> nothing happens
[20:26] <rookeeeeeeeee> Gnea i've already setup bluetooth. that is unhelpful im afraid.
[20:27] <tood> no i mean second day in linux
[20:27] <dutchbuntu> Yes, I did and I see my phone

[20:28] <andresmh> is there a tool to check the signal strength of a built-in CDMA modem?
[20:28] <Gnea> tood: it sounds like you need to straighten some other things out before trying out linux.
[20:28] <MarvinPA> OK reinstalling

[20:29] <onetinsoldier> caveman26: compile a custom kernel sometime and you'll probably get the idea about the LOWMEM area.. i'm about to compile my own kernel-2.6.28-rc8-git2

[20:30] <moonlite> andresmh: no problems. Search the archives for the NM mailing list if you're interested in what they say about it.

[20:32] <MarvinPA> You're a life saver. Anyway I'll be on my way.
[20:32] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: I see... do you have a non-bt mouse?
[20:32] <dutchbuntu> Slart: I didn't change anything and suddenly my phone is recognized and I can pair it

[20:32] <coolguy4> I was wondering how to figure out what packages are necessary for the flash 10 64bit version. I have that installed but I did apt-cache pkgnames flash --installed, and it looks like I have some extra flash packages... I'm getting the grey box problem
[20:32] <tood> look i m srry ppl but first i am german ok so i suck in english second i m just new in linux ok so take it easy on my ok
[20:32] <dutchbuntu> Slart: I wish =)
[20:32] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: and what happens when you unplug your bt mouse? does the static go away or remain?
[20:32] <caveman26> ima compile it all when i get my dual core atom mobo... or I might just go with a str8 debian install.. since debian is about 2x faster than ubuntu on this POS dell that has mobo issues
[20:32] <kitche> !de | tood might be easier for you
[20:32] <Slart> dutchbuntu: this is most unfair.. now it doesn't work for me.. is there a limit on how many bluetooth pairing there can be in the world at one time?? I think you took my slot =)
[20:33] <atb101010> i see no network devices under the network manager icon on the toolbar
[20:33] <rookeeeeeeeee> gnea there is no static, it just is choppy

[20:38] <rathel> I can't seem to get my DPMS working in xorg.conf, I have set OffTime to 1 and it doesn't do anything, I know it works because I can do 'xset dpms force off' and it shuts my monitors off.
[20:38] <rockyrock> Gnea: so it's not license disagreements :)
[20:39] <Gnea> rockyrock: it is. i don't have the time to go into it now. try #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[20:39] <rockyrock> Gnea: ok thnx
[20:39] <mrjohnsen> ActionParsnip: dhcp on eth1 removes it on every boot up
[20:39] <ranok> hi fireballmage
[20:39] <mon^rch> how do I get jack audio to "work"?
[20:39] <fireballmage> hi ranok
[20:39] <fireballmage> :-)
[20:39] <atb101010> Gnea: see lo and pan0 when I type ifconfig, do not see pan0 in my /etc/network/interfaces file, should I add it there?
[20:39] <ranok> :)
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> mrjohnsen: add it to the data the dhcpd kicks out ;)
[20:40] <Gnea> atb101010: no, pan0 is a bluetooth interface which really shouldn't even be there.  remember: ifconfig -a
[20:40] <Gnea> atb101010: the -a is important
[20:40] <rookeeeeeeeee> ok ive discovered the bluetooth mouse is causing interference w/ my bluetooth headset. how do i fix it?
[20:40] <the_eraser> can i set priority on rtorrent downloads?
[20:40] <the_eraser> i have read the user guide btw
[20:41] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: replace the bluetooth mouse with a non-bluetooth mouse.
[20:41] <Meshezabeel> Why are backports called backports? I always thought "back" meant you were going back to an older version.
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> rookeeeeeeeee: is there some channel selection stuff?
[20:41] <Gnea> !backports | Meshezabeel
[20:41] <rookeeeeeeeee> gnea i cant afford that, i am a mere peasant :(
[20:41] <atb101010> Gnea: typed ifconfig -a and those were the only two interfaces that came up...
[20:41] <the_eraser> oh i found it now
[20:42] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: mice are cheap - less than $5.
[20:42] <[TiZ]> Hi. Firefox's address bar has become completely unresponsive. It first started after installing two extensions: AdBlock Plus, and NoScript. I removed them, and my address bar still isn't working. Help, please?
[20:42] <rookeeeeeeeee> i cant be botherd by a third cord running to my laptop
[20:42] <Gnea> atb101010: try lspci | grep Ether
[20:42] <rookeeeeeeeee> sorry
[20:42] <Slart> dutchbuntu: that's odd.. it worked if I initiated the pairing from the cell phone.. but not if from ubuntu
[20:43] <SPF> Slart ikonia : I managed to compile the rndis driver manually. After loading it, it worked.  It's even worse than cockfucking dicksucking winblows?
[20:44] <ikonia> .ak your_majesty
[20:44] <dutchbuntu> Slart: Initially, it wouldn't work, whether I started from my phone or from my computer. Eventually, it worked when I started from my computer. It seems to lose the connection, though...
[20:45] <mon^rch> how do I get jack audio to "work"?
[20:45] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: well, the only channels that bluetooth uses are for different protocols, as outlined here: http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1307/Ubuntu Linux - Bluetooth and GPRS dialup connection
[20:45] <Meshezabeel> Gnea: yes, I've read that already, doesn't answer the question though ;)
[20:45] <Gnea> Meshezabeel: then you didn't read it right.
[20:45] <atb101010> Gnea:tried lspci|grep Ether, nothing
[20:46] <Meshezabeel> Gnea: perhaps you didn't read my question correctly
[20:46] <KlausGerman> hi @ll..versteht jemand von euch deutsch?!
[20:46] <[TiZ]> Firefox's address bar has become completely unresponsive. It first started after installing two extensions: AdBlock Plus, and NoScript. I removed them, and my address bar still isn't working. Help, please?
[20:46] <ikonia> !de > KlausGerman
[20:46] <KlausGerman> ok
[20:47] <omgirc> does xchat have a channel here ?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: you could try renaming your ~/.mozilla to get a stock profile, you'll lose settings etc
[20:47] <ikonia> omgirc: #xchat
[20:47] <Meshezabeel> Gnea: they are coming from the future, so should be called foreports
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: but if the profile is corrupt that'll sort it
[20:47] <KlausGerman> thanks for info :-)
[20:47] <Sven> #ubuntu-cn
[20:48] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: I'll give it a shot to see if my profile's bad.
[20:48] <Gnea> Meshezabeel: it's already been defined.
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: if its still bad, you only renamed so can rol back
[20:48] <Gnea> atb101010: what nic is it?
[20:48] <tritium> Meshezabeel: no, they should not be called foreports
[20:49] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: It does indeed appear to be something messed up in my profile.
[20:49] <tritium> Meshezabeel: when you take a newer version and port it back to an older release, you naturally call it a backport.
[20:49] <Slart> dutchbuntu: hmm.. I can't transfer files from/to my cell phone either.. I could do that on 8.04
[20:49] <atb101010> Gnea: believe the nic comes with mobo, in this case a gigabyte ga-ex58-ud5
[20:49] <Slart> dutchbuntu: but they've changed the bluetooth tools.. might be a new bug
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: ok well we know what the cause is now, you have 2 choices
[20:49] <Gnea> atb101010: ah, then you'll need to enable it in the bios
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: rebuild a new profile or roll back and try to see whats broken
[20:50] <Meshezabeel> tritium: ah, I see, so when you take an older version and port it to a newer release, what is it called?
[20:50] <tritium> Meshezabeel: that's not done
[20:50] <guntbert> Meshezabeel: useless :)
[20:50] <atb101010> Gnea: will look into it and report in a little while, thanks
[20:50] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: I'd rather do that second one, but I have no idea where to start to see what's messed up. I'll go to #firefox (if it exists) and see if they know anything. Thanks for your help! :)
[20:50] <Meshezabeel> okay, thanks ;)
[20:51] <KlausGerman> #edubuntu-de
[20:51] <Slart> dutchbuntu: seems like it's a common problem with intrepid, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964139
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: np bro
[20:53] <Meshezabeel> so, if I want backports for 8.10 (which I'm using), I would just change the line on the backports page that says hardy-backports to intrepid-backports?
[20:54] <Flannel> Meshezabeel: yes
[20:54] <[TiZ]> Man~~! Every IRC channel on Freenode that has less than 500 people is always full of idlers. :(
[20:54] <Meshezabeel> thanks Flannel
[20:55] <[TiZ]> Meshezabeel: It's easier to go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and enable backports in the updates tab.
[20:55] <skeftomai> Hi, I have a RAID card in my server, and it keeps beeping non-stop...even with the drives removed
[20:55] <TJ-42> I'm confused -- If I have compiz installed, should I use emerald for themes, or gtk?
[20:55] <skeftomai> it's annoying the hell out of me. any suggestions?
[20:55] <skeftomai> how can i tell what the problem is? i don't have an external monitor ATM--can only SSH into the box
[20:56] <[TiZ]> TJ-42: You can use either. Compiz has two window decorators. Emerald's tend to look nicer, but GTK-Window-Decorator integrates better with your gtk themes
[20:56] <Meshezabeel> [TiZ]: I dunno, that way seems more confusing ;)
[20:56] <andresmh> in intrepid, the kind of themes I can install using Appearance Preferences are GTK1, GTK2, Metacity, Compiz and/or Beryl?
[20:57] <[TiZ]> Meshezabeel: Really? All you have to do is go to the Updates tab and check the "intrepid-backports" box.
[20:57] <andresmh> I am trying to download and install some themes from gnome-look.org but I don't know which ones I should be looking
[20:57] <jrib> andresmh: all of the above with the exception of gtk1 maybe.  They theme different things
[20:57] <TJ-42> hmm thanks TiZ
[20:57] <[TiZ]> No problem, TJ-42
[20:57] <andresmh> jrib, thanks! what does each theme?
[20:57] <[TiZ]> andresmh: You want to get GTK themes to change the overall look of your windows. Metacity and Emerald themes are for your window borders.
[20:58] <jrib> andresmh: gtk2 for your controls (buttons, scrollbars, etc.), metacity for your window borders, and I'm guessing the compiz/beryl ones are actually emerald themes which you can use if you use emerald with compiz
[20:58] <|WolF1> Question: One of my ntfs partitions is not mounting, it says it has invalid argument. Any one pls help me
[20:58] <Meshezabeel> ah, okay, thanks [TiZ] :)
[20:58] <[TiZ]> Mesheezabeel: No problem. :)
[20:59] <danilo> ola
[20:59] <andresmh> so Mac4Lin would be considered a GTK theme [TiZ], jrib ?
[20:59] <REdian> Hey, could someone help me find a partition? XD I seem to have lost it.
[20:59] <danilo> hallo
[20:59] <obst_> hello, I just updated to intrepid and can't compile an openGL application anymore, it says "ld: cannot find -lGL" although libgl1-mesa-dev is installed and libGL.so.1 can be found in in /usr/lib
[21:00] <kaliree> I have a problem with another distro of Linux, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere, is there a glorious golden Linux guru here who can help?
[21:00] <tritium> kaliree: this channel is specific to ubuntu support
[21:00] <Scunizi> kaliree: have you tried ##linux?  Ubuntu support here.
[21:00] <andresmh> also, are emerald and metacity mutually exclusive? meaning, i either use emerald or metacity?
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> kaliree: ubuntu only here
[21:01] <rathel> I can't seem to get my DPMS working in xorg.conf, I have set OffTime to 1 and it doesn't do anything, I know it works because I can do 'xset dpms force off' and it shuts my monitors off.
[21:01] <kaliree> scunizi: thank I'll check it out.
[21:01] <Scunizi> kaliree: np
[21:01] <AlfredHitchcock> a
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> andresmh: you use metacity or emerald
[21:01] <|WolF1> Question: One of my ntfs partitions is not mounting, it says it has invalid argument. Any one pls help me
[21:02] <raylu> so i'm downloading vmware...and i have the option of getting an rpm and a "bundle"...
[21:02] <andresmh> ActionParsnip, where do I check if I am using metacity or emerald?
[21:02] <tyler_d3> |WolF1: don't know alot about it... good starting place would be /etc/fstab
[21:03] <tyler_d3> |WolF1: ensure that it looks as it should...
[21:03] <|WolF1> well there was some program for recovering lost partitions but ...
[21:03] <refefer> hi there, is there anyway to use 'ps' to tell what script a python process is running?  or a similar command?
[21:03] <bmeynell> when is the next release? =)
[21:03] <REdian> bmeynell: ubuntu? April
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> andresmh: ps -ef | grep less and look for metacity, kwin, compiz etc to see which you are running
[21:04] <bmeynell> REdian: yeah =) thanks
[21:04] <tyler_d3> refefer: ps would tell you process information, in order to get wheat you are looking for you need to increase the loggging level and then tail the output :)
[21:04] <coeus82> hey, linux question here. How do I open all files called index.html in 10 folders with one command?
[21:04] <REdian> bmeynell: Every six months, once at the end of october, and then full in april every year.
[21:04] <coeus82> 10 folders all in one folder, that is
[21:04] <tyler_d3> refefer: best off asking in #python or likewise about that :)
[21:04] <guntbert> raylu: on ubuntu you generally don't install rpm - its a different package managing system
[21:04] <jrib> coeus82: open them in what...
[21:05] <refefer> tyler_d3: I'll ask there, thanks
[21:05] <coeus82> jrib: ideally, the program of my choosing, but let's say gedit
[21:05] <tyler_d3> refefer: np
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: find -name index.html -exec firefox {} \;
[21:05] <REdian> Anyone have any ideas why I can see a partition in GParted but then can't find it in "Computer"?
[21:05] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip: need a path?
[21:05] <riz0n> REdian: try going to /media/ and see if it shows up there
[21:06] <tyler_d3> REdian: not mounted
[21:06] <xiamx> Does kernel recompile make a remarkable speed up?
[21:06] <jrib> coeus82: gedit lets you specify multiple filenames.  So you can do: gedit file1 file2 ...   you can glob for the files.  This is why it depends on the program
[21:06] <andresmh> ActionParsnip, ps -ef  |  grep less returns: andresmh 10494  6064  0 16:05 pts/0    00:00:00 grep less
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> ardchoille: nah, just run it from where the search is to start, should be ok
[21:06] <REdian> riz0n: not there either :(
[21:06] <oskar-> xiamx:  no
[21:06] <REdian> tyler_d3: Where can I find it to mount it?
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> andresmh: ps -ef | less
[21:06] <riz0n> REdian: more than likely the NTFS partition has been marked for improper shutdown...
[21:06] <REdian> tyler_d3: sudo mount /dev/sda3?
[21:06] <tyler_d3> REdian > !mount
[21:07] <coeus82> ActionParsnip: works, thanks
[21:07] <lesshaste> what can I do to turn off touchpad tapping on my laptop?
[21:07] <lesshaste> it is driving me mad :)
[21:07] <tyler_d3> lesshaste: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf... back it up first of course
[21:08] <xiamx> oskar-: I thought if I build it in i686 architect and enable SSE2/3   MMX , it would be faster, is that so ?
[21:08] <lesshaste> tyler_d3, isn't the some app called something like synaptic?
[21:08] <|WolF1> question how to recover data from improperly shutdown ntfs partition, it can't be mounted
[21:08] <jrib> tyler_d3: xorg.conf isn't used to configure input devices anymore (by default)
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: its easy when you know how. look at the command instead of just using it and you'll learn. its dead handy
[21:08] <andresmh> ActionParsnip, I do see compiz, but I don't see Metacity nor Emerald listed
[21:08] <tyler_d3> lesshaste: listen to jrib... I stand corrected :)
[21:08] <lesshaste> :) ok
[21:08] <lesshaste> jrib, what advice please :) ?
[21:08] <REdian> tyler_d3: It says it can't find in in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[21:08] <coeus82> ActionParsnip: the find command?
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> andresmh: then compiz is your window manager
[21:09] <rookeeeeeeeee> gnea im not in the uk
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: the whole thing
[21:09] <tyler_d3> REdian: what exactly are you looking for within those files?
[21:09] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: pardon?
[21:09] <TJ-42> I've gotten a new hard drive that want to use to store my music and pictures, instead of keeping these on my system drive.  Is it better to edit fstab to mount it as /home/myuser/media  or perhaps should I just create a symlink?
[21:09] <coeus82> ok, thanks
[21:09] <oskar-> xiamx:  i don't know, but does the kernel make use of sse/mmx and those instruction sets?
[21:09] <obst> hello, I updated my machine to ubuntu intrepid and can't compile an openGL application anymore, it says "ld: cannot find -lGL" although the package libgl1-mesa-dev is installed and libGL.so.1 can be found in /usr/lib
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: {} means the file found, it will be the absolute path
[21:09] <rookeeeeeeeee> so how do i get my bluetooth mouse and headset working together?
[21:09] <eternaljoy> how can I install Acrobat Reader on 8.04?
[21:10] <jrib> lesshaste: help.ubuntu.com/community/X google how to configure the settings you want for whatever the touchpad driver you are using is.  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi can serve as a guide for you.  From reading the first link, you should know that you should not edit that file directly though
[21:10] <andresmh> i thought emerald / metacity run on top of a windows manager like compiz
[21:10] <REdian> tyler_d3: I want to reinstall windows. I have a restore partition built into the system I didn't get any discs with it :( And I can boot to the partition with GRUB but I need to get at the password thats stored on the partition because I completely forgot it.
[21:10] <jrib> andresmh: metacity is a window manager...
[21:10] <eternaljoy> !Acrobat Reader
[21:10] <eternaljoy> !Acrobat
[21:10] <onetinsoldier> xiamx: i like the difference i get in speed.. have to realize, i'm talking about customizing the kernel options, not just using a vanilla debian or ubuntu config. it seems a little speedier to me, even with some debugging options included(inlcuding frame pointers). i try to go through all the options, and examine what's best for me tho.
[21:10] <lesshaste> jrgp, thanks.. I feel sure I just ran an app last time.. but upgrading to intrepid reset it and I can't remember how I did it last time
[21:10] <andresmh> jrgp, and emerald is what?
[21:10] <rookeeeeeeeee> i need some el helpo
[21:10] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: you miss the point entirely: you can't change the channel that the bluetooth devices communicate on.
[21:10] <lesshaste> jrib, *^^
[21:10] <lesshaste> sorry jrgp
[21:11] <jrib> lesshaste: maybe gsynaptics.  I'm not sure if it works anymore
[21:11] <eternaljoy> how can I install Acrobat Reader on 8.04?
[21:11] <rookeeeeeeeee> well then that sucks
[21:11] <onetinsoldier> xiamx: ymmv
[21:11] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: you need to eliminate one of your bluetooth devices.
[21:11] <lesshaste> jrib, that sounds like it!
[21:11] <paulo> #ubuntu-es
[21:11] <jrib> lesshaste: that can be your first try :)
[21:11] <|WolF1> Is there any one that can really help?
[21:11] <tyler_d3> REdian: wow. thats quite the situation.... have you looked up mount... ie. google or mount and read anything up on it?
[21:11] <bulio> does anyone here use synergy?
[21:11] <tyler_d3> REdian: and what is the exact command you are running to mount this partition?
[21:11] <lesshaste> jrib, "You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics"
[21:11] <REdian> tyler_d3: sudo mount /dev/sda1
[21:11] <raylu> guntbert: i'm aware. so what's a bundle?
[21:12] <jrib> lesshaste: right, except now you use fdi files in /etc/hal/
[21:12] <REdian> tyler_d3: IT's always been there and now all of a sudden it stopped showing up
[21:12] <Gnea> rookeeeeeeeee: each channel is set aside for a special purpose. yes, it sucks, but mice are relatively cheap, especially for people who live in the US.
[21:12] <raylu> guntbert: ah, it's a bash script o.0
[21:12] <REdian> tyler_d3: You think it has something to do with it not shutting down properly?
[21:12] <oskar-> xiamx:  i use gentoo with a self-compiled vanilla kernel. and in my feeling, ubuntu's standard kernel is as fast as mine... think about the trouble of recompiling when a new version is needed, compared to simply installing it with apt-get
[21:12] <REdian> tyler_d3: I tohught it shut down right, but I suppose you can never be sure, right?
[21:12] <xiamx> onetinsoldier: Sounds good, so you customized the kernel, and disabled option that you don't need?
[21:12] <Xavier> what's the best way to skin ubuntu 8.10?
[21:12] <raylu> <3 the file command
[21:12] <lesshaste> jrib, ok thanks
[21:12] <Kattollikisd> someone here have a web site then I can find some skin for my SimDock or Wbar?
[21:12] <raylu> Xavier: change your gtk theme?
[21:12] <whuffor> How do I know which version of amarok will be installed if I do sudo apt-get install amarok ? I'd like to install amarok2 if possible in ubuntu 8.10
[21:13] <tyler_d3> REdian: I think you need to read honestly, because you need to specify more then that, you need to tell the system where it is mounting this. what type of file-system it is as well what the read/write options are.
[21:13] <raylu> whuffor: aptitude show amarok
[21:13] <tyler_d3> !mount
[21:13] <raylu> whuffor: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.0
[21:13] <Xavier> raylu: yeh that might work, i used to use compiz - is compiz still cool for skinning?
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> whuffor: you can get it via neon
[21:13] <tyler_d3> REdian > !mount
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> !neon | whuffor
[21:13] <raylu> Xavier: i guess. if you want more control though, consider a different wm (fluxbox comes to mind)
[21:13] <|WolF1> question how to recover data from improperly shutdown ntfs partition, it can't be mounted
[21:13] <lesshaste> this touchpad tapping is like torture! I can't imagine how anyone does any work with it on
[21:14] <Xavier> raylu: wm?
[21:14] <REdian> !mount
[21:14] <onetinsoldier> xiamx: yes. trouble is, although i can figure out what a lot of options are for/do, there's a fair number i don't quite understand. also, if you use the lastest kernel, you usually can't use the proprietary ati or nvidia drivers
[21:14] <raylu> |WolF1: as it says when you try to mount, use -f
[21:14] <raylu> |WolF1: er, sorry, -o force
[21:14] <tyler_d3> |WolF1: I believe the switch is -f for forcing the mount of this drive...
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> |WolF1: dd_resucue can help, it will copy data even if its broken to an image, then you can mount the image
[21:14] <raylu> Xavier: window manager
[21:14] <_jlb_> yeah but apple is following suite with everyone else.....
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> |WolF1: you SHOULD have a data backup, otherwise the data is dispensible
[21:14] <|WolF1> raylu: please tell me the exacvt comand
[21:14] <whuffor> raylu: Thanks. aptitude show amarok gives: version 2:1.4.10-0ubuntu3, but isn't that the version number of the package?
[21:14] <xiamx> oskar-: k, I guess I will keep ubuntu's distro kernel hehe
[21:15] <raylu> |WolF1: have you tried mounting it yourself?
[21:15] <Xavier> raylu: i'm not too familiar with fluxbox, i guess i'll research that
[21:15] <raylu> whuffor: the version # of the package is the version that will be installed
[21:15] <|WolF1> raylu: i did with sudo mount /dev/sda1
[21:15] <MarvinPA> Hey, If anyone's avalibe. I installed Ubuntu today. And it connects to WiFi but I cannot access any sites with Firefox.
[21:15] <raylu> |WolF1: and what did it say when you tried that?
[21:15] <whuffor> raylu: But amarok just released 2.0. I doubt very much that they are up to version 2.1.something already
[21:16] <chairman> how do i do the domino effects?
[21:16] <|WolF1> raylu:  and it says that there is not such device, and i c it in partition manager and fdisk -l
[21:16] <raylu> Xavier: oh, also see http://gnome-look.org/
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:16] <onetinsoldier> xiamx: anyway, as you were saying.. you can specify your exact processor architecture, the scheduler you want.. ect..
[21:16] <raylu> whuffor: um, it's version 1.4.10...
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: can you ping your routers ip address?
[21:16] <CarlFK> why does aplay sound.wav work, but not espeak hi?
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: can you ping www.bmezine.com
[21:16] <raylu> |WolF1: yes, but it's not configured in fstab. you did't provide a mount point
[21:16] <MarvinPA> I'm not sure. I'm not on Ubuntu now
[21:17] <raylu> |WolF1: where do you want to mount it?
[21:17] <whuffor> raylu: Oh. Then I don't want that package... Any idea if it's possible to install version 2.0 somehow?
[21:17] <Xavier> raylu: does compiz come preinstalled with ubuntu 8.10 or is that still something i've gotta take care of?
[21:17] <tyler_d3> |WolF1: command should be something like `sudo mount "device" "file system type" 0 0`
[21:17] <raylu> whuffor: yes, scroll up and see the two links we gave you
[21:17] <raylu> tyler_d3: no it shouldn't
[21:17] <raylu> tyler_d3: that's the fstab syntax
[21:17] <jeremy_> Hello, could somebody please help me with getting a screensaver set as my desktop wallpaper? I have already tried xwinwrap but the problem is it takes over my entire scren and I can't see any windows and I have to pkill xwinwrap in order to stop it, and I have tried using the command /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatix -root & and that didn't show up as my desktop wallpaper and I already went into...
[21:17] <jeremy_> ...nautilus preferences and set "show desktop" to false. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
[21:17] <Xavier> raylu: also i emerald still relavent to compiz and skinning?
[21:17] <|WolF1> raylu: sorry for not telling i am on livecd and i just want to recover it. i couldn't c it from the system so i run the livecd
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: you need to try pinging names and ip addresses to see whats going on
[21:18] <MarvinPA> OK
[21:18] <tyler_d3> raylu: being quiet and reading my man pages again ****sheepishly****
[21:18] <lesshaste> jrib, hmm.. seems gsynaptics is still there but out of date
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: ping router ip, <IP_ADDRESS>, and www.bmezine.com
[21:18] <raylu> Xavier: probably. i haven't used compiz in forever
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: if the ips work and names dont, your dns is failing
[21:18] <raylu> |WolF1: ok... again, where do you want to mount it?
[21:18] <Xavier> raylu: what're are you using these days?
[21:18] <jeremy_> Please help me!!!!
[21:18] <jrib> lesshaste: I gave you the wrong link before.  It should be wiki.ubuntu.com/X
[21:18] <whuffor> ActionParsnip: What is neon?
[21:18] <raylu> Xavier: just gnome. metacity, technically
[21:18] <jpoRS> I am using Amarok 1.4something in 8.10 (64bit) and my collection has dissapeared, I don't know why.  I have tried numerous fixes I found on the web, but nothing has worked.  Anyone have any ideas?
[21:18] <Gnea> !helpme | jeremy_
[21:18] <MarvinPA> ActionParsnip: What does that mean?
[21:19] <jeremy_> I just said that hwole block of text, Gnea!!!
[21:19] <raylu> tyler_d3: i find "mount --help" more concise :D
[21:19] <whuffor> Dang! It's difficult to find the answers among all the scrolling text...
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> whuffor: its nightly builds of kde4.2 and amarok2
[21:19] <jeremy_> I just said my entire problem I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER STUPID BOT
[21:19] <raylu> tyler_d3: the mount manpage is not to be trifled with :P
[21:19] <Gnea> jeremy_: calm down.
[21:19] <jeremy_> Please help me
[21:19] <jeremy_> read what I just said
[21:19] <Caduceus> !patience
[21:19] <jeremy_> Ok
[21:19] <FloodBot2> jeremy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:19] <|WolF1> raylu: i want to mount it anywhere under livecd just to be mounted so i could recover the data for it
[21:19] <Caduceus> !repeat
[21:19] <MarvinPA> OK. So I ping in Terminal no?
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: dns changes names into ip addresses, computers dont use names, they use numbers
[21:19] <tyler_d3> #pidgin
[21:19] <jeremy_> but I hate when people use this dumb bot
[21:19] <raylu> jpoRS: the actual files or just the library that catalogued the files?
[21:19] <jeremy_> Nobody is LISTENING
[21:19] <lesshaste> jrib, hm.,. seems a lot to learn just to turn off tapping??!
[21:19] <jeremy_> That's the problem,
[21:19] <raylu> |WolF1: cd /media
[21:19] <Gnea> jeremy_: and I hate when people act like 2 year olds.
[21:20] <jrib> jeremy_: calm down.  What does this return: gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: if you cant change names to ip, when you type www.ubuntu.com in a browser it wont get converted and fail
[21:20] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: perhaps follow nicks more than the text of messages, helps sometimes
[21:20] <raylu> |WolF1: sudo mkdir sda1
[21:20] <MarvinPA> ActionParsnip: So how do I ping?
[21:20] <raylu> |WolF1: sudo mount /dev/sda1 sda1 -o force
[21:20] <jrib> jeremy_: and unless you change your attitude, I'm just going to leave
[21:20] <jeremy_> nothing
[21:20] <jeremy_> It shows nothing when I do it
[21:20] <jeremy_> And I'm sorry
[21:20] <whuffor> onetinsoldier: Mmm. Perhaps.. :)
[21:20] <jeremy_> I'm going to calm down
[21:20] <raylu> jeremy_: also, please prefix your messages with the name of the person you're talking to
[21:20] <jrib> jeremy_: pastebin what you typed and the output
[21:20] <jpoRS> raylu: the files are fine, but amarok, exaile, and rthmnbox are all having difficulties with collection/library
[21:20] <zvacet> jeremy_ : can you ,please repeat you r question and maybe somebody will be able to help you
[21:21] <jeremy_> jrib: there was no output
[21:21] <storm-zen> My computer booted up Intrepid without sound today for the first time in months.  How do I get my sound back?
[21:21] <jrib> jeremy_: there has to be output, so it means you typed something wrong.  Thus why I am asking you to pastebin what you typed
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: ping <ip address> in terminal, just like any otehr system available
[21:21] <jrib> jeremy_: copy everything you see on your terminal
[21:21] <jeremy_> Um
[21:21] <Caduceus> storm-zen: that sucks. =(
[21:21] <MarvinPA> K
[21:21] <Gnea> storm-zen: have you checked the mixer settings to make sure nothing is muted?
[21:21] <raylu> jpoRS: i'm not sure about rhythmbox, but i know that amarok and exaile use sqlite by default. i'd reinstall that package and also remove any configuration files you have in your home directory ("ls ~/.* -d" will help)
[21:22] <whuffor> raylu: That link talks about installing on kubuntu. I don't see that it applies to ubuntu in that it talks about adept updater and stuff like that
[21:22] <jeremy_> http://pastebin.com/m105b47b9
[21:22] <jrib> jeremy_: "false" is output
[21:22] <jeremy_> and my question is up in the chat a little ways
[21:22] <raylu> whuffor: er, as long as you add the right repositories, it'll install on ubuntu
[21:22] <jpoRS> thanks raylu, happy holidays everyone
[21:22] <|WolF1> raylu: i got this: sudo mount /dev/sda1 sda1 -o force | mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[21:22] <jeremy_> no
[21:22] <jeremy_> it went onto a new line
[21:22] <raylu> whuffor: the only difference is you'll have to pull in some qt packages that ubuntu doesn't come with
[21:22] <jrib> jeremy_: look at your pastebin
[21:22] <Gnea> jeremy_: i see the word 'false' there.
[21:22] <jeremy_> Yeah and that's because that's what I was told to type wasn't it
[21:22] <raylu> |WolF1: do you need to write to the disk or is reading enough?
[21:23] <jeremy_> Wait
[21:23] <MarvinPA> ActionParsnip: I'm getting "host unreachable" for the IP
[21:23] <jeremy_> Yeah, that is the output
[21:23] <jjules> hi guys
[21:23] <raylu> !hi | jjules
[21:23]  * Gnea gives up.
[21:23]  * raylu pats Gnea
[21:23] <jeremy_> Gnea: I'm sorry
[21:23] <jeremy_> Gnea: I'll be more patient
[21:23] <exodus_ms> jeremy_, your a clown, dude, calm down and concentrate on the help you are receiving
[21:23] <|WolF1> raylu: just reading bro
[21:23] <starhawk> initramfs  this is what I get when tring to install ubuntu 8.10 the install just stops there I have an emachine D6417 with 3 gigs of ram 3200 processor 64 bit  dose any one know what to do with this
[21:23] <onetinsoldier> i a wondering why ubuntu doesn't have the 'alsaconf' command line util?
[21:23] <Gnea> jeremy_: i'll believe it when i see it.
[21:23] <Andry> Hi guys, I need to burn a 4GB file onto a DVD with winXP and I want to be able to read it under Ubuntu as well... which filesystem should I use?
[21:23] <jrib> jeremy_: '/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -root' should work fine then unless you have something else drawing your desktop
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: can you ping your routers ip?
[21:23] <whuffor> raylu: Yes, but I still don't understand how I tell apt, aptitude or whatever to install 2.0 instead of 1.4 after having added that line to the repository
[21:23] <raylu> |WolF1: sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/sda1 sda
[21:24] <raylu> er...
[21:24] <raylu> |WolF1: sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/sda1 sda1
[21:24] <jeremy_> jrib: I know, but for some reason
[21:24] <raylu> whuffor: the package name should be amarok-kde4, i believe
[21:24] <storm-zen> Gnea: The speaker in the gnome toolbar does not have a red x on it.  Double clicking on said speaker shows only line in and microphone as muted.  Amarok is not muted.
[21:24] <jeremy_> It doesn't really do anything
[21:24] <MarvinPA> ActionParsnip: Local IP or world wide IP?
[21:24] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: i see what you mean though, it is very busy in here today
[21:24] <whuffor> raylu: OK. I'll try that
[21:24] <tyler_d3> Andry: shouldn't need to specify a file system... just gitterdone
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: internal
[21:24] <Gnea> storm-zen: is that a laptop or desktop?
[21:24] <jrib> jeremy_: turn off effects and see if it works
[21:24] <raylu> whuffor: tell me how it is for you, btw. i didn't like it much, though i didn't give it much of a real chance
[21:25] <storm-zen> Gnea: Desktop.
[21:25] <jeremy_> jrib: How do I turn off effects? Do you mean compiz?
[21:25] <jrib> jeremy_: yes
[21:25] <Gnea> storm-zen: are speakers builtin or external?
[21:25] <jeremy_> jrib: How? pkill compiz?
[21:25] <|WolF1> raylu: The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
[21:25] <raylu> |WolF1: um, sda1?
[21:25] <storm-zen> Gnea: External.  Light is on, and volume is over halfway up.
[21:25] <jrib> jeremy_: system -> preferences -> appearance -> visual effects -> none   (don't be so violent)
[21:25] <TJ-42> is there any way to control what shows up as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb -- these seem to change at almost every reboot for me
[21:25] <jrib> TJ-42: use UUIDs
[21:25] <jeremy_> jrib:  LOL
[21:25] <lectus> Hello! I'm trying to restore GRUB on my girlfriend's computer after she reinstalled windows. The problem is gparted does not detect the SATA harddisk. Any idea?
[21:26] <|WolF1> raylu:  i just switch it couse it is sdb1 the partition that i can't mount
[21:26] <Gnea> storm-zen: and they're plugged in nice and snug? there's no small piece of metal distorting the connection?
[21:26] <RITN> how do i mount samba shares?
[21:26] <lectus> so, I can't know the partition because nothing is detected
[21:26] <exodus_ms> !samba
[21:26] <jeremy_> yaaaaaay
[21:26] <jeremy_> it works!!!
[21:26] <jjules> i have a little prob with my raid0, my mainboard crashed and i actually don't have another mainboard with the same raidcontroller near me. is it possible to rescue a raid0-array with dmraid without a raidcontroller?
[21:26] <jeremy_> it works!!!!!
[21:26] <jeremy_> it really really works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
[21:26] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: start up aptitude... then search for the app with the / key. the when you have it highlighted... press  t   it'll show the versions that are available. then highlight the version you want and then work from there(+ key or 'enter' key)
[21:26] <FloodBot2> jeremy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:26] <raylu> lectus: what does gparted have to do with installing grub
[21:26] <storm-zen> Gnea: Haven't touched them since they worked yesterday.
[21:26] <whuffor> raylu: It's installing now. I hopw it's the right version. :) How on earth did you know that the package name is amarok-kde4?
[21:26] <jeremy_> jrib: I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are now my best friend!
[21:26] <lesshaste> jrib, this is madness.. apparently according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig I have to edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi
[21:26] <lectus> raylu: I need to know the partitions to restore GRUB, no?
[21:26] <raylu> |WolF1: well... as the error message says, sdb1 isn't the right drive
[21:26] <raylu> lectus: sudo fdisk -l
[21:26] <REdian> tyler_d3: I'm still having a lot of trouble....do you think you could help me put together the command I need?
[21:26] <lesshaste> jrib, except of course that doesn't exist
[21:27] <jrib> jeremy_: try #compiz to see if you can get it to work inside compiz
[21:27] <raylu> |WolF1: you should also try "sudo fdisk -l"
[21:27] <TJ-42> jrib: I know how to get the UUID, but is there any way to use the UUID to set /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc?  it would make things easier when I have to, for example, look at fdisk. I have to remember to look at the size of the drive before I do anything or I might mess with the wrong drive
[21:27] <jrib> lesshaste: you create it :)
[21:27] <Andry> tyler_d3: what is gitterdone?
[21:27] <raylu> whuffor: someone was asking about it yesterday
[21:27] <lesshaste> jrib, so I am guessing I edit the file you said at /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi ?
[21:27] <starhawk> initramfs  this is what I get when tring to install ubuntu 8.10 the install just stops there I have an emachine D6417 with 3 gigs of ram 3200 processor 64 bit  dose any one know what to do with this
[21:27] <raylu> whuffor: also, "aptitude search amarok" would have told you
[21:27] <Gnea> storm-zen: better check them again now, just to be on the safe side
[21:27] <jrib> TJ-42: not afaik
[21:27] <lesshaste> jrib, oh... I don't edit that file you said?
[21:27] <CheesyWeasel> http://code.google.com/p/dfo/ according to this website, this program is for gnome? i download the .tar.gz and it has no source just a .exe and a .dll file
[21:27] <zvacet> lectus : put live CD in drive and type sfdisk -l
[21:27] <MarvinPA> ActionParsnip: I can ping myself yes
[21:27] <TJ-42> ok, thanks jrib
[21:27] <jrib> lesshaste: what file did I say?
[21:27] <tyler_d3> RITN: smbmount //xx.xx.xx.xx/shared /path/that/exists/locally/ -
[21:27] <tyler_d3> o username=,password=
[21:28] <lectus> zvacet: Ok... I'll try that.
[21:28] <lesshaste> jrib, /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
[21:28] <storm-zen> Gnea: Ok.  They are plugged in nice and snug.
[21:28] <lesshaste> jrib, which does exist
[21:28] <|WolF1> raylu: it is the right and fdisk gives me the same, but it says that it is something wrong with ntfs
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: no i meant your systems default gateway. probably <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:28] <raylu> |WolF1: huh? fdisk confirms that it's an ntfs partition but it won't mount?
[21:28] <Gnea> storm-zen: do you hear anything if you use this command:  cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[21:28] <raylu> |WolF1: if that's correct, paste the output of mount
[21:28] <jrib> lesshaste: nope, if you scroll up I tried to warn you not to edit that file.  But if you read that file it would let you know what you need to create in /etc/hal/.  However, it seems the wiki already tells you that
[21:28] <whuffor> raylu: Ahh. Very nice. Thank you very much for the help. Much appreciated here. :)
[21:28] <MarvinPA> ActionParsnip I can ping <IP_ADDRESS> haven't tryed 1
[21:28] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: you still here?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> MarvinPA: its the ip you put in yur browser to configure the router
[21:28] <raylu> |WolF1: *of the mount command
[21:28] <zvacet> lectus : sorry it it fdisk -l
[21:28] <whuffor> onetinsoldier: Yup
[21:28] <lectus> zvacet: It does nothing. I think it doesn't the detect the HD. Not the partitions.
[21:28] <raylu> whuffor: np
[21:29] <catmando> i'm really, really confused. why isn't sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop stopping gnome?
[21:29] <raylu> zvacet: already told him to do that. and it needs root
[21:29] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: ok. did you see my message about how to choose in aptitude?
[21:29] <lesshaste> jrib, ok thanks.. they really need to fix this :)
[21:29] <whuffor> onetinsoldier: No. I must have missed that in all the mayhem in here
[21:29] <Gnea> catmando: it's stopping the login facility, not your session.
[21:29] <REdian> Could someone help me build a command for mount for a windows NT partition?
[21:29] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: but it looks like raylu most have got it worked out for you
[21:30] <jjules> someone here who can answer my dmraid question?
[21:30] <MarvinPA> ActionParsnip: I cannot ping <IP_ADDRESS> I get host un-reachable
[21:30] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: i see what you mean, it is very busy in here today
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | REdian
[21:30] <whuffor> onetinsoldier: I just scrolled back and found your message. Thanks :)
[21:30] <storm-zen> Gnea: Kept getting device or resource busy, so I tried it with sudo, heard a slight pop, but the command doesn't appear to be existing.
[21:30] <storm-zen> *exiting
[21:30] <onetinsoldier> whuffor: you're welcome
[21:30] <jrib> lesshaste: even before you had to edit xorg.conf to use gsynaptics, now you just edit a different file.  I agree with you though.  If you search bugs.ubuntu.com, there is a bug which has some tool working without using shmconfig
