[17:48] <ejer> babaklinux: this is more a question for mplayer guys, you should just install it from the ubuntu packages...
[17:48] <mystery> DasEi: Amorak works fine besides it not responding every so often. However, it does play audio

[17:49] <Ockonal> Hello, during Ubuntu 8.04 installing i had this problem: after taking any part of menu i saw:
[17:49] <Ockonal> [ 25.483056 ] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[17:49] <Ockonal> [ 25.661883 ] kernel panic -no syncing: IO-APIC timer doesn't work!
[17:50] <blue112> sipior: I have to ?
[17:50] <sipior> blue112: remember, /bin/bash is interpreted with respect to the new /
[17:50] <Ockonal> Please, help
[17:50] <blue112> sipior: Ok, thanks.
[17:50] <olskolirc> how am I supposed to use gparted when everything is grayed out and won't let me click to resize and it won't let me unmont the partition which is an option but refused
[17:50] <ejer> !apic
[17:50] <olskolirc> how do I move this partiton smaller please?
[17:50] <sipior> blue112: look for a statically-compiled shell, so you don't have to worry about moving libraries there as well
[17:50] <DasEi> Ockonal:first, did you use installer-option check media for defects ?
[17:50] <jmichels1n> ejer: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1a7ab845
[17:50] <chamunks> I'm editing my /boot/grub/menu.lst to include a windows partition is there a way to automatically generate the stanza's?
[17:51] <Ockonal> DasEi: yes, after checking that menu, i saw the same text
[17:51] <ejer> olskolirc: you can't work on mounted partitions, you could use http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[17:51] <DasEi>  olskolirc:partis to rezise mussn't be mounted, use live, if system-parti
[17:51] <DasEi> Ockonal: so cd is integer ?
[17:51] <blue112> sipior: Ok, thanks a lot !
[17:51] <genii> olskolirc: Or burn the gparted live cd and do it from there
[17:51] <sipior> blue112: yep, have fun
[17:52] <olskolirc> ohh i see genii
[17:52] <ejer> jmichels1n: did you add the <IP_ADDRESS> part to route

[17:54] <chuzzd> hmm
[17:54] <jaba> need help with Telnet Client
[17:54] <DasEi> mystery:?
[17:54] <jaba> I need telnet client with sessions save
[17:54] <jmichels1n> ejer: my gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> also, not sure why it says .0 there , I dont really understand the route output
[17:54] <jaba> and which can save passwords
[17:54] <chuzzd> hmm
[17:54] <chamunks> Slart, that might be sufficient.
[17:54] <Slart> jaba: telnet is kind of dated.. not a lot of development there
 Do you know Secure CRT ?
[17:55] <ejer> jmichels1n: .0 means all addresses with the right subnet mask... it all looks ok really
[17:55] <Minty95> hello
[17:55] <Slart> jaba: mm.. some vague memories popping up..
[17:55] <ejer> jmichels1n: and if other things have connections, it is not networking at fault it seems... any firewall active?
[17:55] <Aura-> hello Minty95
[17:55] <ejer> jaba: i think putty can do this
[17:56] <Minty95> I deleted the network ico on the top menu bar, and replace it by the one found in add to panel window
[17:56] <Minty95> but its not the same, how do I get the original one back ?
[17:56] <jmichels1n> ejer: not that I have changed, its almost a default install of xubuntu, I do have a proxy server running, but the browser will work with or without it, i put the proxy in thunderbird to test, still didnt work
[17:57] <jmichels1n> ejer: and I cant ping anything by hostname, ips work
[17:57] <jmichels1n> ejer: maybe dns issue?
[17:57] <ejer> Minty95: try doing ALT-F2 and type in bar 'nm-applet' without quotes and hit enter
 Yes but It can't save passwords :(
[17:58] <ejer> jmichels1n: to troubleshoot, take everything down that may interfere, like proxy... then try and ping stuff
 think about this
[17:58] <ejer> jaba: sure it does
[17:58] <ejer> checking jaba
 OK. I'm waiting
[17:59] <Minty95> ejer, doen't do anyting
[17:59] <Aura-> Minty95: you're looking for the internet configuration tool, right
[17:59] <Aura-> ?
[18:00] <jmichels1n> ejer: another thing, I have thunderbrowse, embedded browser in thunderbird and it can pull up a webpage
[18:00] <Slart> jaba: think about what?
[18:00] <DasEi> mystery:?
[18:00] <Minty95> Aura-, no just the icon that lets me use my VPN connection for exemple
[18:00] <DasEi> Ockonal:?
[18:00] <ejer> jaba: hmm no... why not use ssh?
[18:00] <karayan> venome, pusleaudio and libflashsupport for firefox got sound working fine for me.
[18:00] <Minty95> had the icon and delted it, now when I use tha add apps one, its not the same
[18:00] <ejer> Minty95: try logging out then back in
[18:01] <karayan> simultaneously
[18:01] <Minty95> done that
[18:01] <Aura-> okay, so you're missing the VPN tool?
[18:01] <Minty95> yes
[18:01] <Minty95> pptp
[18:01] <Minty95> had it configured just don't know how to access it now that I have no icon
[18:02] <ejer> Minty95: you can't even delete that... did you uninstall it maybe?
[18:02] <Ockonal> DasEi: Sorry, no PC
[18:02] <Ockonal> Ockonal: not a laptop
[18:02] <Minty95> no I just did a remove frompanel
[18:03] <puffandstuff> salut
[18:03] <zoed> !hi | puffandstuff
[18:03] <puffandstuff> oops
[18:03] <DasEi> Ockonal:first verify disk-integrity with the cd-own option, most faults are bad burned cds,  if its o.k, then try to boot with option acpi=off
[18:03] <puffandstuff> hello
[18:03] <ejer> Minty95: you must have done that on something else, either way, go to add/remove and search for network manager and make sure it is ticked
[18:04] <karayan> I am using wifi in roaming mode. I deleted the entry for name-server in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. But still my /etc/resolv.conf is getting overwritten. Please advice
[18:04] <Minty95> kk
[18:04] <jmichels1n> ejer: hm its fixed, not sure what it was, I was working with it late last night trying to fix it, i forgot to take out the proxy in thunderbird, thats why it wasnt getting mail today, not sure what the problem was last night. I think it was missing dns entries, it had none, I put in my gateway as dns and maybe that is what happened
[18:04] <Aska> hello everybody. how are you?
[18:04] <jmichels1n> ejer: maybe plugging in the smartphone wiped my dns
[18:04] <ejer> proxies are easy to mess up jmichels1n
[18:04] <Aura-> hello Aska, i'm okay
[18:04] <ejer> but good it works jmichels1n ;)

[18:12] <serqui> I hate soundcards!
[18:12] <DasEi> cads: which card ?
[18:12] <ejer> serqui: do you have mixer elements when you try alsamixer ?
[18:12] <cads> I can't figure out how to get direct rendering back, xvinfo says that there are no adaptors present
[18:12] <Aura-> cads, you kept a backup of your xorg.conf, right?
[18:12] <cads> it's a intel 855GM
[18:12] <ejer> whitenexx-pc2: i saw it, you have lots the key somehow, or that is wrong partition
[18:12] <DasEi> serqui:wich card particular ?
[18:12] <wizardslovak> hello ubuntu friends
[18:12] <serqui> ejer: yes, and none are muted
[18:13] <whitenexx-pc2> http://embed.mibbit.com/pb/85Z8WL  sorry, this is the corret one ejer
[18:13] <serqui> DasEi: ES1968
[18:13] <LuYu> ive got some questions about the ubuntu/debian suspend
[18:13] <ejer> do you have more than one sound card serqui
[18:13] <DasEi> cads:backup xorg.conf, then : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[18:13] <LuYu> does anybody have time to help me gain a little for clarity on the subject?
[18:14] <serqui> ejer: no, only one
[18:14] <gekrip> !quit
[18:14] <gekrip> !exit
[18:14] <DasEi> serqui:no great problem, driver installed ?
[18:14] <ejer> serqui: you could try installing alsa-utils then run alsaconf... it does some auto config stuff
[18:15] <ejer> LuYu: what is question
[18:15] <cads> DasEi: the suggestion I was following involved using a different video card driver, and somehow now my DRI doesn't work, even though I have restored my xorg.conf and tried to modprobe the video module back, yes, I have tried the dpkg reconfigure... if it helps, the video driver I'm trying to use is   i810, and module I found was i810fb.so
[18:15] <benzs_s> how do i change what is in the menu that pops up on right clicking the desktop?
[18:15] <LuYu> well, how does one return from suspend, and why does it often wipe the MBR on SD cards?
[18:16] <serqui> DasEi: yes
[18:16] <LuYu> when the power is cut off (i should add)
[18:16] <serqui> ejer: alsa-utils... I'll check
[18:16] <whitenexx-pc2> ejer: what would you say to my problem?
[18:16] <ejer> LuYu: to return you hit power or keyboard key depending... wiping mbr.. are you running from an SD?
[18:16] <tctsai> Anyone know how to `clean` what EnvyNG has done to the system ?
[18:16] <cads> DasEi: any ideas about what else I could do?
[18:17] <LuYu> yeah
[18:17] <LuYu> that happened to me on an OLPC and openmoko
[18:17] <digitalhead> Can anybody tell me if gThumb can print multiple images on a single page?
[18:17] <tctsai> I try to use EnvyNG to install Nvidia driver, but it has some problem.
[18:17] <LuYu> it basically destroys the install as best as i can figure
[18:17] <Cew27> hey guys installing ubuntu on a macbook with no internet so i downloaded the ndiswrapper deb and installed it but when I type my "sudo ndiswrapper -i" command it says ndiswrapper is missing utils
[18:17] <DasEi> cads: modprobe snd-es1968                    ???
[18:18] <danbh_intrepid> Cew27: did you put the location of the driver?
[18:18] <serqui> DesEi: module is loaded
[18:18] <tctsai> So I wish to turen back to original nvidia driver.
[18:18] <LuYu> really, what i want to know is:  how can i permanently disable suspend so that this will never happen?
[18:18] <Cew27> danbh_intrepid: no how do i do that?
[18:18] <cads> DasEi: I have loaded the module
[18:18] <DasEi> cads: sry, nick messed
[18:18] <cads> hah
[18:18] <ejer> whitenexx-pc2: this may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611165
[18:19] <cads> hehe, I will unload the module
[18:19] <ejer> LuYu: http://jeremy.visser.name/2007/02/08/how-to-disable-suspend-and-hibernate-for-all-users-in-ubuntu/
[18:19] <tctsai> But it seems EnvyNG doesn't cleaning what he has done
[18:19] <danbh_intrepid> Cew27: well, you use ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers for a network card, you knew that, right?
[18:20] <Aura-> LuYu: what does your System>Preferences>Power Management say?
[18:20] <serqui> ejer: installed alsa-utils... now?
[18:20] <Aura-> thank you ejer :)
[18:20] <DasEi> serqui: still no luck ? whats it's (not)  doing ?
[18:20] <ejer> serqui: alsaconf
[18:20] <Cew27> danbh_intrepid: ahh right, im talking on abehalf of a person on my forum, you wouldnt mind poping on their and posting this would you?!
[18:20] <nmcbride> does anyone have 'oracle-xe-univ-<IP_ADDRESS>-1.0.i386.rpm' they can make available?  The download from the oracle site finishes with a size of 0 and the .deb aparently has no page.
[18:20] <nmcbride> and I wanna try this on my buntu box
[18:20] <serqui> DasEi: no sound, everything looks correct
[18:20] <danbh_intrepid> Cew27: mk, link?
[18:20] <DasEi> serqui: see pm
[18:20] <anirudh0> serqui: what does this show lsof /dev/snd/* ?
[18:20] <zack1403> hey guys why does my sound stop working all of a sudden, and any idea how to fix it?
[18:21] <Gnea> !sound | zack1403
[18:21] <zack1403> sometimes happens when i put laptop to sleep
[18:21] <Cew27> danbh_intrepid: thanks alot, http://www.fossforums.com/viewtopic.php?id=52
[18:21] <anirudh0> zack1403: see post to serqui above
[18:21] <anirudh0> zack1403: gmail with talk gadget on firefox 3 can do that
[18:21] <LuYu> i just checked that
[18:21] <DasEi> cads: it worked out of the box ?
[18:22] <LuYu> but the two systems i was talking about are running XFCE, not gnome
[18:22] <zack1403> well i checked a good amount of troubleshooting and ive messed around with alsamixer to the nth degree but ill check those links again
[18:23] <LuYu> so, while that is a solution for the gnome desktop, its seems insufficient for XFCE users
[18:23] <Gnea> Cew27: or you could just post this url as a response: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31926
[18:23] <LuYu> and i cant really install gnome on the OLPC or the openmoko
[18:23] <LuYu> its just too big
[18:23] <ejer> LuYu: did you try?
[18:23] <zack1403> ahh but here is a better issue, why does my terminal fail to open when my sound turns off?
[18:23] <Gnea> LuYu: then use something like fluxbox
[18:23] <elros> lk
[18:24] <LuYu> well, XFCE is pretty slow on the OLPC
[18:24] <DasEi> serqui:I#m little busy for the next 30 min, but (if card is not broken) it should be no problem , i 'll be back in 30 min, but it isn't special, anyway
[18:24] <LuYu> does fluxbox have good power management controls?
[18:24] <DasEi> cads: ?
[18:24] <Gnea> zack1403: no idea, never heard of that before
[18:24] <Vladimir[LV]> How i can restrict user to all directories, excepting his home dir?
[18:24] <Vladimir[LV]> System user!
[18:24] <LuYu> i would rather just disable it in a file
[18:24] <Vladimir[LV]> not ftp user
[18:24] <ejer> LuYu: i have an olpc, I have tried them all... none will work flawlessly except sugar in my experience
[18:24] <Gnea> LuYu: hrmm, haven't tried, but it's got a smaller memory footprint than gnome, thus it's designed for smaller systems
[18:24] <cads> DasEi, if I remember correctly, I had to change the video driver from intel to i810, switch the modules, and add a DRI section with Mode 0666... i copied it from my debian setup which I worked on god knows how long ago.. I don't remember which exact modules I had to load at the time of geting that to work
[18:25] <LuYu> ive heard that
[18:25] <Vladimir[LV]> How i can restrict user to all directories, excepting his home dir? System user, not ftp user!
[18:25] <DasEi> cads:live cd handy ?
[18:25] <Gnea> LuYu: send me an OLPC and i'll find out :)
[18:25] <LuYu> actually, though, XFCE doesnt seem to be the problem
[18:25] <danbh_intrepid> Cew27: ok, I see the problem, would you mind posting the solution for me?
[18:25] <LuYu> as long as i avoid pressing the suspend button
[18:25] <jedimindtrick> I have a mapped FTP (Places > connect to server), and im opening a file directly through that 'map', but i cannot seem to save the file in gedit through the shorthand map. however if i goto my home folder/.gvfs/my_mapped_place and save it through there, ti works just fine ... is there a "fix" to make it so that I can just save directly through the mapped setup rather than having to navigate to that folder ?
[18:26] <Cew27> danbh_intrepid: not at all
[18:26] <cads> DasEi, I'm downloading suse to get it's autoconfig
[18:26] <ejer> LuYu: check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798772
[18:26] <LuYu> choosing suspend causes an unrecoverable suspension
[18:26] <Aura-> Vladimir[LV]: i'm really not sure; you're trying to make it so the user can't see anything besides the home directory?
[18:26] <LuYu> in openmoko, its a big problem
[18:26] <DasEi> cads: always backup xorg, before any ""experiments"", but quick n dirty could start with live and then copy it's xorg.conf
[18:26] <LuYu> if the power button is touched, it automagically suspends
[18:26] <danbh_intrepid> Cew27: the guy downloaded ndiswrapper-common, but he needs 2 packages.  That one, and ndiswrapper-utils.  http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[18:27] <Vladimir[LV]> Aura- yes.!
[18:27] <ejer> jedimindtrick: it is not going to be stable working like that, expect to have file problems.. best to save locally then copy over
[18:27] <danbh_intrepid> Cew27: if he installs that, that should get him going
[18:27] <Aura-> Vladimir[LV]: "see" as in Nautilus, or "see" as in no access to any system-installed programs?
[18:27] <Cew27> danbh_intrepid: cheers ill post it crediting you
[18:27] <jedimindtrick> ejer: its extremely inefficient considering what im doing, its just on my LAN anyway - i could use a suggestion on how to share my other computer's folders (also running ubuntu)
[18:28] <cads> DasEi, that's the part that kills me, I have the original xorg.config here, and I've even put together one from scratch
[18:28] <ejer> jedimindtrick: share the folder and mount it on local machine, don't use fTP mapping if you can avoid it
[18:29] <jedimindtrick> ejer: is there no network sharing native to ubuntu? seems a little backwards to have to install windows sharing services to share it, then connect to it through samba from another ubuntu box
[18:29] <NetEcho> on the top panel with the 3 menus and the clock and whatnot is there a way to make the background on those panel items transparent? I've set the bar to transparent but it doesn't effect those items
[18:29] <ejer> jedimindtrick: sure there is, just they built it in, you can right click a folder and share it
[18:29] <Aura-> jedimindtrick: if you're looking for a non-samba solution, nfs is more native to linux
[18:29] <jedimindtrick> yeah i did that but it installs windows sharing services
[18:29] <cads> oh well... it's at least working in vesa.. das, I will keep trying, and when I am done, I will come here and help someone, in return for your time; thankyou for the suggestions
[18:29] <LuYu> so, this is an X problem

[18:29] <arooni-mobile> i'm trying to hook my ubuntu hardy laptop with intel 965 integrated video up to a bigger 22" lcd.  i do system => pref => screen resolution & detect displays and it flashes for a second, but theres no output on 22" lcd.... help?
[18:29] <ejer> jedimindtrick: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html is for NFS mounts
[18:30] <DasEi> cads: as onboard-intel mostly works out the box, I'm not experienced with it, but did you also look up manufacturers HP for a linux driver ?
[18:30] <LuYu> we really need a GUI that controls even the X management of the power
[18:30] <ejer> jedimindtrick: it is ok to install samba :)
[18:30] <cads> : )
[18:30] <jedimindtrick> ejer: yeah but it just seems so backwards :)

[18:31] <matteo_> hi all, i have a problem with windows, sometimes they open with the top under the application bar, so i can't close em or resize.. I have to use Expo (compiz fusion ad-on) to move em, any tips?
[18:31] <ejer> LuYu: i posted your answer way back, edit /etc/default/acpi-support
[18:31] <Aura-> samba is a pain to configure...  and nfs keeps the proper file permissions
[18:31] <arooni-mobile> /join #compiz-fusion
[18:31] <Aura-> symlinks et al
[18:31] <ejer> jedimindtrick: there are many other ways, this is just the easy way
[18:31] <cads> das, this is the laptop from hell as far as *nix is concerned: it still has the little "designed for microsoft windows xp" sticker on it : )  there were no intel drivers
[18:31] <ejer> there is no config to do for samba, it is all magically done

[18:33] <ejer> jedimindtrick: actually you may just need to log out and back in

I didn't create a swap partition so I made a swap file.  before the file I had experienced random freezes and system slow ups.  Afterwards it seemed to help, last night I had a long freeze followed by a system crash and now I can't get in to the gui. Were the slowups due to no swap partition?  did I mess up the swap file and kill the OS? did hibernati
[18:38] <cads> DasEi:  ah, sorry... I mean I will try to see if I can find a newer version of xorg than is in the repository
[18:39] <Gnea> !swap | Nem[1]
[18:39] <Aura-> Nem[1]: if you haven't rebooted since then, /var/log/dmesg.0 will give you more information
[18:39] <DasEi> cads:xorg is speciall for each machine and always generated on-board, never found in any repo
[18:39] <chadeldridge> Good afternoon everyone.  I am experiencing very slow copy speed for my local drive.  14-17MB/Sec ... seems to only be in ubuntu 8.04 because its at least double in windows and suse.

[18:39] <DasEi> cads:a, ok, x-server
[18:39] <ejer> cads: what happens when you follow instructions from post I just sent
[18:40] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone tell me how i can run a proxy through my connection?
[18:40] <Gnea> chadeldridge: what did you use to calculate those figures?
[18:40] <ejer> chadeldridge: that does not seem that slow... is this a large file?
[18:40] <DasEi> cads:latest available <<< updtae nupgrade
[18:40] <Aura-> cads: I think your kernel has auto-configured some modules to load while you were trying to get it to work better; try removing the agp/agp-gart related modules
[18:40] <DasEi> cads:latest available <<< update n upgrade
[18:40] <Nem[1]> Gnea: !swap as in not swap?  I am running 1 GB ram, and about 1.2 ghz intel...any suggestions for avoiding slowups (serious greyed out freezes of the entire system)
[18:40] <cads> ejer, I'm already in VESA, and am trying to get direct rendering working
[18:41] <chadeldridge> Gnea / ejer.   Using nautalis and also cp both show a very slow ~17MB speed ..

[18:41] <chadeldridge> Gnea / ejer :  mostly all large files above 2gb

[18:42] <ejer> oh sorry
[18:42] <Gnea> chadeldridge: hrm, i wasn't aware that the cp command at the commandline had a feature to show the amount of data being transferred in realtime
[18:42] <Aura-> cads, yes, that has happened to me before while trying to get my GM965 working under Hardy
[18:42] <ejer> so cads do the dkpg-reconfigure and choose intel instead of vesa, and tell us what happens

[18:42] <DasEi> cads:onboard graphics are never great ...
[18:42] <chadeldridge> all on the same disk .. between folders actually
[18:43] <Aura-> Nem[1]: what were the fail messages?
[18:43] <Nem[1]> hold on let me boot up
[18:43] <Gnea> chadeldridge: okay, my next question is: why copy them at all?
[18:43] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone tell me how i can run a proxy through my  connection?
[18:43] <theshadow> whats the correct way to regenerate the .wine directory for a user?
[18:44] <Gnea> chadeldridge: you could make a symbolic link in much less time and still access it just the same, unless you're trying to edit it
[18:44] <chadeldridge> gnea:  doing testing of multiple versions of VMware images ... copying off the testing defaults to another folder before we destroy the originals
[18:44] <ejer> theshadow: winecfg should do it
[18:44] <Aura-> theshadow: if you don't mind losing settings, deleting or moving the .wine directory works wonders
[18:44] <mlise> anyone know where I can download the latest alpha 6?
[18:44] <cads> lets see, the agp modules I have are intel_agp and agpart... I am scared to remove them

[18:45] <ejer> chadeldridge: check this http://opensource.apress.com/article/65/command-line-gems-hdparm and RAM has a large effect on speed
[18:45] <Gnea> chadeldridge: things will always run slow at one point or another, just a fact of life to be accepted... hdparm could help you out if it's an IDE disk, though

I'm sure (I hope) it's something dumb I just didn't figure out or did wrong because I'm a new user :>
[18:46] <Aura-> Nem[1]: to read the syslog, try "dmesg | less" first

[18:51] <chadeldridge> Gnea:  blktool may be quite a bit out of my league .. i dont want to destroy this drive
[18:52] <nalys> ubottu: thanks for your response, but I know that, as I said, I probably removed the file with root privileges and I can't access the trash folder with root privileges..so I can't completely remove that file now.. :/
[18:52] <ubuntutlups> Hi. i downloaded the Ubuntu 8.0.4 and im currently running up Ubuntu 7.0.4 and i want a fresh install the problem is that i burned the ISO but it wont boot. i used. Gnomebaker and once i look inside on the cd it shows up the .iso :(

[18:53] <Pici> ubuntutlups: You need to burn the iso as an image, not burn the iso itself to the disc.
[18:53] <ejer> stickfu: hard to say, but maybe around 400MB
[18:53] <Pici> ubuntutlups: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto for more info
[18:53] <amenado> ubuntutlups-> create a new partition, install debootstrap, and install fresh ubuntu unto new partition
[18:53] <nalys> ubuntutlups: I had the same problem once and slowed the burning rate... worked fine after that.
[18:53] <Aura-> Nem[1]: try the program "less" on it
[18:53] <stickfu> if i was going to do it, do I just apt-get remove all the packages the gui uses?
[18:54] <ejer> stickfu: yup, but be aware this can have unintended consequences unless you understand what those packages do
[18:54] <amenado> ubuntutlups-> that way you dont need to burn an iso to a cdrom
[18:54] <Aura-> stickfu: i believe so, but you may want to backup first
[18:54] <ejer> amenado: that is not recommended... will not install grub for one thing
[18:55] <amenado> ubuntutlups-> you want the procedure? google for "installing ubuntu from a unix/linux system"
[18:55] <amenado> ejer who says its not recommende? by you?
[18:55] <nalys> Is it normal I can't go in my trash folder with root privileges or what ? :P
[18:55] <amenado> ejer debootstrap is not a complete install, its only  preliminary
[18:55] <ejer> amenado: we are trying to help new users, that is not the right way to install ubuntu
[18:55] <argento> does ubuntu have a remaster tool?
[18:55] <amenado> ejer, debootstrap is a recommende and approved ubuntu installer eh?
[18:56] <lastman> How can I activate the messages at system start? I would like to see more than an ubuntu logo and progress bar :-)
[18:56] <ejer> no it is not

[19:00] <Nem[1]> Aura: of course this was just the statements that had WW next to them, no EE were found
[19:00] <_Zeus_> kitche: what do you mean, 3rd party sites can not be correct
[19:01] <_Zeus_> i think you mean can be incorrect
[19:01] <ejer> kitche: it is a dif process and I always check first
[19:01] <Aura-> Nem[1]: it appears that your fglrx needs updating
[19:01] <kitche> _Zeus_: yep I know incorrect but Im in a bit of a hiring to get out of the door and go pick my mom up so I didn't really type
[19:02] <Nem[1]> Aura: hmm would you suggest a reinstall? I can still access all of my files from my winxp partition...so I suppose I could insert some updated version of fglrx through there and install it in the console
[19:02] <amenado> javierg-> its a wise idea to have a separate /home partition from / ..that way you can easily move your specific user settings..
[19:02] <stickfu> _Zeus_: don't use kitche, she can be incorrect! =]
[19:02] <Aura-> Nem[1]: you have networking working in console mode, right?

[19:08] <RPG_Admin> how do i change the port it listens on?
[19:08] <CalJohn_> Aura-: he means midnight commander style
[19:08] <jedimindtrick> Aura-: need more than that, i need basically ... the equivalent of say a FTP program, where you have two locations side by side
[19:08] <Aura-> ah hehe
[19:08] <jedimindtrick> CalJohn_: will installing either of those interfere with all the built in nautilus stuff?
[19:08] <ejer> AzizLight: install specimen font viewer to be able to browse them with previews
[19:08] <Pici> RPG_Admin: modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[19:08] <CalJohn_> jedimindtrick: no

[19:12] <chadeldridge> So exactly how dangerous would it be to go to 2.6.24-21 in 8.04 ... or for that matter enable the "proposed" updates to run ?
[19:12] <Aura-> Nem[1]: are all your directories mounted?
[19:12] <danbh_intrepid> chadeldridge: do you need that kernel?
[19:12] <Nem[1]> Aura: hmm...perhaps a complete reinstall is what I need
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> chadeldridge: is your current kernel ok?
[19:13] <chadeldridge> danbh_intrepid:  there is talk that a fix for the sata speed issue is included in it
[19:13] <DasEi> =
[19:13] <pythoneles> hi folks, i'm having this wierd behavior in nautilus, where the file string match only works for the first opened  window (not the subsequent)! i used to have some solved SCIM related problems but the methods used there are not working..has anyone expirienced such thing ?
[19:13] <danbh_intrepid> chadeldridge: usually, -proposed are pretty safe, but you can run into a few bugs
[19:13] <Aura-> Nem[1]: perhaps; and that may be easiest
[19:13] <danbh_intrepid> chadeldridge: well, you should test it out!
[19:13] <Nem[1]> Aura: btw, thanks so much for your time with my issues, I learned a pretty good deal today :)
[19:13] <chadeldridge> safer than backports ?
[19:13] <xxploit> question, Supposedly on the Ubuntu Alternate CD's theres an option to install a command line only system, but I havent seen it, anyone know where it would be?
[19:13] <Pici> chadeldridge: no.
[19:13] <Pici> xxploit: There isnt.
[19:13] <ejer> xxploit: you want ubuntu-server
[19:14] <kryptonite_> hi all
[19:14] <norbert_> guys, how is this possible
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> !lowmemory | xxploit
[19:14] <chadeldridge> so backports are from the new version being developed and backported to 8.04 ?
[19:14] <norbert_> someone has installed Ubuntu and YouTube doesn't even show Flash
[19:14] <benjick> norbert_: Ubuntu doesn't come with flash
[19:14] <ejer> !flash | norbert_
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: on 64bit or 32bit?
[19:14] <norbert_> 32bit
[19:15] <norbert_> Ubuntu doesn't come with Flash??
[19:15] <xxploit> ActionParsnip, from that page 'To install a base system, boot from any Alternate CD and choose "Install a command-line system
[19:15] <Nem[1]> Also, could anyone tell me if there is a major disadvantage to creating a virtual swap file instead of extra unpartioned space?
[19:15] <Aura-> xxploit: i do know that intrepid has low-memory setups for say the OLPC, but that might not be what you're looking for
[19:15] <ejer> no neither does windows norbert_
[19:15] <danbh_intrepid> norbert_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:15] <saintbob> I'm having slow browser problems in ubuntu 8.04 but fine over on the windows side whats up?

[19:15] <Pici> !shockwave | tanveer
[19:15] <ogzy> is there anyone who had used rtcwake at ubuntu before?
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: no, id suggest adobe.com, get the tar.gz and extract the libflashplugin.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[19:16] <Pici> ActionParsnip: Why not through the repositories?
[19:16] <norbert_> ActionParsnip: hum, that's too complicated for the person I'm trying to help
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Pici: its the way i know how to do it

[19:23] <Altari> hi guys

[19:23] <Boyinblue0> Shall I try and install it on my main hard-drive instead of my external one?
[19:23] <Altari> is anyon here available to help me with something?
[19:23] <CalJohn_> Altari: you can only be helped if you tell people how to help ;)
[19:24] <saintbob> let me check
[19:24] <Gnea> Boyinblue0: you could try it - if i were you, i'd look into trying out another sata cable before something breaks
[19:24] <Altari> sorry, i'll try to describe the problem
[19:24] <CalJohn_> Altari: that's cool :)
[19:24] <Altari> i'm looking to install a wireless card (pcmcia)
[19:25] <danbh_intrepid> CalJohn_: dig is the command to test dns, fyi
[19:25] <Boyinblue0> Gnea: I don't think I have a sata cable as the cable that attaching it to my pc is one that goes into a usb port
[19:25] <Altari> however to be honest, i have no idea how to install drivers in linux :\
[19:25] <Gnea> Boyinblue0: better to spend $2 now and nothing later, than to spend nothing now and $80 later ;)
[19:25] <saintbob> google comes up after about 7 seconds
[19:25] <Altari> i've had a look at a few wikis but i think something gets lost in the translation to noob :p
[19:25] <CalJohn_> danbh_intrepid: oh yeah.  would've been better to advise that
[19:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Altari So you already bought it .. Did you look in our list of supported hardware first?
[19:25] <Gnea> Boyinblue0: do you have internet connectivity with the system?
[19:26] <Boyinblue0> Gnea: Yeah I suppose, I'll try and see if i can find a different sata cable lying around somewhere
[19:26] <tanveer_> click where on the task bar to maximize a window
[19:26] <Altari> Jack_Sparrow; i'm dualbooting windows

[19:26] <Altari> oh, my bad i thought you were saying i should have checked before buying it ;)
[19:27] <Gnea> Boyinblue0: i meant with the ubuntu system - or maybe if you have a usb flash/jump drive, could you copy the /var/log/dmesg file over and pastebin it?
[19:27] <Aura-> linux has come a long ways as far as drivers are concerned
[19:27] <buntu> how do i check which chip my wireless have plse?
[19:27] <tanveer_> it disappears once i mini minimize it the window is not seen on the task bar
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Altari It works best if you check before, but since you have it , the fast way is to see if others have it working and how they did it
[19:27] <|Spuddy|> Anybody here know the Wubi well and fsutil? Or can help me please

[19:46] <ActionParsnip> DuKeS: what graphics card do you have?
[19:46] <Vezir> is it cause i use pulseaudio?
[19:46] <DuKeS> according to system specs its a gforce 4mx??

[19:47] <ActionParsnip> DuKeS: paste the line for your card in here
[19:47] <DuKeS> im actually not on linux right now
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> DuKeS: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx should do you
[19:47] <remoteCTRL> if i only knew how to put this question to get an answer..
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL: explain it as plainly as you can
[19:48] <Rimen> to who I can send the bugreport from my laptop, since I have to save it cause sending failed, I dont know who to send a bug report, can someone give me the link or something
[19:48] <DuKeS> yes i've done that before when i tried ubuntu 7.10 but for some reason, the videos play choppy :(
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL: say whats happening and what you would like to happen

[19:48] <pythoneles> hi folks, i'm having this wierd behavior in nautilus, where the file string match only works for the first opened  window (not the subsequent)! i used to have some solved SCIM related problems but the methods used there are not working..has anyone expirienced such thing ?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> DuKeS: do you have 3d accelleration?
[19:48] <DuKeS> how do i check that?
[19:49] <DuKeS> im on windows right now though :S
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> DuKeS: glxinfo | grep direct
[19:49] <remoteCTRL> ActionParsnip: hi there and thanks: i have my plantronics headset attached and so far it works fine exept the volume switch doesn't turn the headset's voulme up and down but the speakers'
[19:49] <ejer> pythoneles: explain more.. you are searching for a string in one window and you want it to search that in all windows?
[19:49] <Rimen> I got a bug report about my Pidgin, it doesnt work for long time now, it connects and it freezes, after what I can only Force Quit

[19:50] <Sven_> hi, I want to flash my bios but I have never done it before. I'm using flashrom for my asusmainboard. Logs: http://rafb.net/p/BweTZj41.html Someone ?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL: ok what model is it?
[19:50] <Gnea> Rimen: have you tried resetting the pidgin configuration?
[19:50] <pythoneles> ejer, no, i mean focusing the other window, if its not the first opened the string match won't work
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> Sven_: wrong room dude
[19:50] <Babbleback> ubottu, a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree prompts for guest's password and then it just drops back to the command prompt with non of the usual "install Y/n"
[19:50] <remoteCTRL> ActionParsnip: it's a dsp500
[19:50] <ejer> string match on what pythoneles
[19:50] <DuKeS> i'll be installing hardy heron in a few hours and i'll try those lines...but i believe my pc's specs do mention 3d acceleration
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: ubottu is a bot
[19:50] <remoteCTRL> ActionParsnip: i had this working once, if i only could recall how it worked...
[19:50] <DuKeS> it's only an internal card with 64mb shared graphics :S
[19:51] <gohu> hello
[19:51] <Gnea> DuKeS: as long as you have more than 256megs of RAM, you should be fine
[19:51] <Babbleback> ActionParsnip, ok
[19:51] <DuKeS> 512mb (will upgrade to 1.5 soon)
[19:51] <Babbleback> ejer, a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree prompts for guest's password and then it just drops back to the command prompt with non of the usual "install Y/n"
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> DuKeS: thats enough for ubuntu
[19:51] <Gnea> DuKeS: oh, you'll enjoy it :)
[19:51] <Artesc> Is this real? http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=32JgSJYpL8o
[19:51] <pythoneles> ejer, in nautilus when you're browsing a path, if you start typing, it will try to match that string you typed to a file in the folder you're in
[19:52] <Artesc> He hacked traffic!
[19:52] <Artesc> Really?
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: sudo apt get -f install
[19:52] <Gnea> !offtopic | Artesc
[19:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Babbleback Are you the only user on the system?
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: is the user a member of the admin group?
[19:52] <ejer> Babbleback: you only need to install it once, and perhaps your new user is not member of admin group so you can't use sudo
[19:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Artesc Please stop
[19:52] <ejer> pythoneles: yes, but that only works in active window from what i know
[19:52] <anom01y> is there a log file or something I can check to see why kde randomly logs off my user account when I am in anther user account ?
[19:52] <Babbleback> ActionParsnip, no this is a new user i created and needed to install flash for but it failed
[19:52] <DuKeS> well i'll give those lines a try ActionParsnip, if the drivers still work funny i guess i'll be coming back to the chat :P thanks both of u (Gnea too)
[19:52] <kelder> Artesc: it's a hoax, that guy did a ton of em
[19:52] <Sven_> ActionParsnip: which channel should I join ?
[19:52] <Scunizi> Any thought on using Webmin (http://www.linux-mag.com/id/6961) as a method for the home user managing their Ubuntu Server?
[19:52] <anom01y> I have had this problem for quite some time now, and I never see or hear of anyone else talking about it
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> !hardware | Sven_
[19:53] <Babbleback> ejer, probley is not part of the admin group as the idea was for it to be a guest account
[19:53] <infinite_> hi folks,how do i know wich WLAN card i have in my notebook?
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> Sven_: hm not useful, try checking the channel list
[19:53] <pythoneles> ejer, for sure, but in my case it only works if it is the active window, *and* the first opened window
[19:53] <ejer> Scunizi: it works, but is better to learn how to do it manually in my opinion, webmin is not necessarily perfect
[19:53] <Babbleback> ejer, so how do you install flash on a guest account?
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> infinite_: lspci
[19:53] <pythoneles> ejer, which is the strange behavior
[19:53] <remoteCTRL> infinite_: lspci
[19:53] <alamat> yo men
[19:53] <Slart> Scunizi: webmin isn't good for some reason
[19:53] <alamat> or women

[19:54] <Slart> Scunizi: I'm not saying ebox is good... personally I can't stand it..
[19:54] <ejer> Scunizi: look at ebox
[19:54] <Artesc> Jack_Sparrow// Why Call me? stop? what?
[19:54] <Scunizi> Slart: thanks.. not sure why webmin is bad but I'll look at ebox too. thanks.
[19:54] <iro> Guys if i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 will my graphic drivers remain untouched?
[19:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Artesc offtopic
[19:54]  * remoteCTRL reading***
[19:54] <Artesc> Jack_Sparrow//Yeah I'm really sorry.
[19:55] <Slart> iro: probably not.. if they are kernel modules.. since 8.04 uses a newer kernel.. afaik
[19:55] <ejer> Babbleback: you can manually copy it in, or add him to admin group do what you need, then remove from admin
[19:56] <alamat> hum sorry i'm linuxnoob p resk
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: if you download the tar.gz for flash from www.adobe.com you can copy it to ~/.mozilla/plugins and it'll work
[19:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !coc > alamat
[19:56] <Jack_Sparrow> that might help

[19:56] <whitenexx-pc2> hey ubuntu users! did there had been any LVM-Problems in the last time in ubuntu or debian?
[19:56] <Prose> how do I shutdown an app through terminal (not kill but stop it)
[19:56] <Pici> ActionParsnip: Please don't suggest that method of installing Flash.  It may break during upgrades and we cannot support it.
[19:57] <kurumin> faça comigo
[19:57] <remoteCTRL> ActionParsnip: umm... actually i hear with it and i guess the mic also works, haven't tested so far BUT it has that little volume switch on it and that one controls the wrong soundcard, i.e. intel's onboard device there's gotta be some menu or so where i can "tell" the control to manupulate a different soundcard?
[19:57] <Slart> Prose: what do you mean by "stop" ? you can ask it to quit nicely
[19:57] <kurumin> fala
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> Pici: if he doesnt have root access its a workaround until the admin installs flash
[19:57] <Prose> Slart: well, throug init.d it doesn't work
[19:57] <Pici> ActionParsnip: Ah, I missed that part.  I solved my problem :/ it was very dumb... I want to apologize to everyone who took the time to answer ^^ thx! cu.
[20:00] <Slart> Prose: that stop command doesn't just kill every process with a certain name.. it kills the process it started earlier.. so if you've run the vsftp program yourself it won't kill it for you.. afaik
[20:00] <Slart> Prose: but try killing that stray vsftp process using kill, pkill or whatever method you like..
[20:00] <Prose> Slart: hum okay, but init.d won't kill processed it started himself
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL: you mave have to use xev to program the input like special keys on a keyboard
[20:01] <Babbleback> ejer, thank you
[20:01] <lwizardl> anyone have experince with building linux cash registers? i need some help with mine
[20:01] <Babbleback> ActionParsnip, thank you
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: you got it?
[20:01] <Slart> Prose: it starts a process and saves the pID in a file.. when you stop it it kills the process with the pID from the file.. if I understand things correctly
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> i got a question, what exactly is a tty?
[20:01] <Slart> Prose: so if you start vsftp by running it from a terminal you can't kill it using init.d
[20:02] <Prose> Slart: ok it works now
[20:02] <Prose> Slart: .... oh damn I see what happened!
[20:02] <amenado> Prose umm its hard to kill a daemon, it may respawn itself..
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> ive seen a guide about making linux boot faster by having fewer ttys, can anyone explain this
[20:02] <ejer> ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tty_(Unix)
[20:02] <remoteCTRL> ActionParsnip: naw that actually wans't it, somehow i also got the logitech keyboard's volume control to work, someone told me howto and i really should have written it down...
[20:02] <starbuckkkee> hi, could somebody tell me the importance of the RAM speed? i want to set up a linux server, and i want to build it with a bord which has an onboard graphics card
[20:02] <`Matir> Where can I see the list of networks NM is configured to connect to?
[20:02] <DasEi> ActionParsnip:keybpad is one for example, serial comnectors are so called also
[20:02] <Gnea> starbuckkkee: well, the faster the speed, the faster the system
[20:03] <ejer> sorry dumb link ActionParsnip
[20:03] <Prose> amenado, Slart : sorry for sutpidiy, what happened is that I changed the conf file and there was a bad argument.. and when I asked init.d to start the daemon, it did but the daemon partially started
[20:03] <ejer> ActionParsnip: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5896
[20:03] <Prose> so it was half-started but not enough to be killed by init.d
[20:03] <starbuckkkee> Gnea: true, but is this so important for a server, i mean i dont want to play new games like crysis or something which neds extrem good performance won ram
[20:04] <Slart> Prose: ah..tricky
[20:04] <Prose> Slart: yeah it reminds me of when I used Windows :(
[20:04] <DasEi> starbuckkkee: cpu and chipsatz make a max. possible fsb, which the ram must mangage
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> cheers ejer
[20:04] <Prose> anyone here SSL/vsftpd inclined ?
[20:04] <krzysztof> i've got the prolem of opengl
[20:05] <mohadib> any sata hot/warm pluggers here? i have gifts if so
[20:05] <starbuckkkee> DasEi: onboard graphics slows down the ram speed ... is this true?
[20:05] <Babbleback> ActionParsnip, temporarily adding the guest account to the admin group allowed me to install it but it failed due to md5sum mismatch
[20:05] <Prose> I can't figure out why SSL encryption won't work with my client and vsftpd
[20:05] <krzysztof> enybody help me ??
[20:05] <Minty95> I meesed up my network icons, how do I get back (install) nm-applet as I cannot find it in synaptics
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: what failed md5?
[20:05] <DasEi> starbuckkkee: nope, but it usually uses some ram for itself
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> !ask | krzysztof
[20:05] <Gnea> starbuckkkee: well, it's a server, it's meant to serve. you surely wouldn't want your waitress to trip and fall..
[20:05] <Babbleback> ActionParsnip, sudoa apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree'
[20:06] <Scunizi> krzysztof: you havent asked a question.. just made a statement.
[20:06] <chazco> Hi... can anyone recommend the best way to copy an encrypted DVD (its allowed for this purpose) to a playable file type on Ubuntu, maximising quality? (filesize isnt really an issue)
[20:06] <DasEi> starbuckkkee: often u can set that in bios, and for a server little ram is enough
[20:06] <krzysztof> ok
[20:06] <Slart> Minty95: it isn't called nm-applet in synaptic.. check for network-manager.. think that's the one
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:06] <Gnea> starbuckkkee: tomshardware.com usually has some good articles and information regarding the correct memory speed line-ups and how to avoid damaging your hardware
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Babbleback: that will delete the old one you downloaded (as well as all the other temp .debs you have pulled down from erpos)

[20:07] <Slart> Minty95: then I don't know what could be wrong..
[20:07] <starbuckkkee> DasEi: i wouldn't have a problem buying 4 gb of ram, the only thing is that i was told taht onboard graphic slows down the fsb of the ram about the half... means 800mhz ram gets like 400 mhz ram if onboard graphics is going to use system-ram

[20:08] <Gnea> starbuckkkee: eeeh?!
[20:09] <ejer> starbuckkkee: it does not slow anything down, it may just use some ram
[20:09] <krzysztof> yes i install the xserver-xorg-video-intel drivers
[20:09] <starbuckkkee> Gnea: do u have a link for the whole ram thing on toms-hardware... sorry, for bad english
[20:09] <DasEi> starbuckkkee: that would wonder me- which board ? for usual a certaint amount of ram is assigned to the graphics onboard, but that won't settle down fsb

[20:10] <soundray> clever: the SysV system, including inittab, is being replaced by upstart. Do you just need more getties? Or fewer?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> krzysztof: maybe your card doesnt support opengl 2.1
[20:11] <clever> soundray: i need a getty on a serial line

[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Altari: ask away
[20:14] <clever> soundray: now i got 3 links to read up on and no tabs in my browser
[20:14] <Daft_Punk> what can i use to create an exact image of my hdd incase i fubar linux (like i have in the past) i can restore the image?
[20:14] <Hackintosh411> Altari: i can help with broadcom...
[20:15] <clever> soundray: your link is for 6.06 which is pre-upstart
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: dd is good
[20:15] <starbuckkkee> Gnea: yes, i thought thes were other links about memory speed something
[20:15] <jim_p> Daft_Punk: partimage/
[20:15] <Altari> well
[20:15] <jim_p> ?
[20:15] <soundray> clever: no, it isn't. Look carefully
[20:15] <ejer> Daft_Punk: http://www.clonezilla.org/
[20:15] <Minty95> re booting, brb
[20:15] <clever> soundray: ah, it was updated
[20:15] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, ejer i would need something bootable from disk
[20:15] <Altari> i'm trying to install a netgear wg511 pcmcia wireless card
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: dd /dev/<partition name> /path/to/desired/output.iso
[20:15] <Hackintosh411> Can anyone assist me?
[20:15] <Altari> now, i realise it's not supported on boot by ubuntu
[20:15] <krzysztof> how check it ??
[20:15] <Altari> due to the fact it runs a modified prism chipset
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Altari: what does lspci say it is
[20:16] <krzysztof> my eanghlish is little sorry
[20:16] <ejer> Daft_Punk: clonezilla and mondorescue both do this
[20:16] <pctools_> someone can help me configuring my router with ubuntu
[20:16] <Slart> chamunks: ah.. so which was it.. hd1, or hd2 ?
[20:16] <ZKAT8IT> i have wireless setup but when i try to set a static ip it stops working, anyone know why?
[20:16] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, ejer thanks
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> krzysztof: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:16] <clever> ZKAT8IT: you need to set the gateway and dns also
[20:16] <Altari> ActionParsnip: can't find it in lspci
[20:16] <Altari> however
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> ZKAT8IT: can we see your /etc/network/interfaces file please
[20:16] <Altari> when i do dmesg i get;  pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
[20:16] <Altari> as opposed to details of the card
[20:16] <krzysztof> Section "Device"
[20:16] <krzysztof> 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device" this is it ??
[20:17] <Altari> then ndiswrapper -l shows the following
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Altari: run lspci in terminal, it will say what it is
[20:17] <DasEi>  starbuckkkee: I suggest u really make shure bout this information (ask #hardware or oc-forum);ubuntu is here, but also i recommend asrock(betterperformance,less graphic,prbly cheaper)or go>
[20:17] <DasEi> !ot
[20:17] <chamunks> Slart, turned out it was hd1 but i had to map (hd1) (hd0)
[20:17] <Altari> 2802w: driver installed
[20:17] <Babbleback> why would i consistantly get a checksum error while trying to install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:17] <Altari> however doesn't indicate that the hardware is present
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> krzysztof: you arent loading a driver if thats all there is in that section
[20:17] <chamunks> Slart, basically the map command just links both drives so they can discover eachother in grub.  afaik
[20:17] <ravalox> Hello all, I'm looking for a working 720p xorg.conf file.  I have one of my own creation that doesn't seem to be working.
[20:17] <Slart> chamunks: ah.. well.. glad you fixed it
[20:17] <Gnea> starbuckkkee: well, you kind of have to read through it and see what they have to say about it (Toms Hardware is a highly regraded and trusted industry site.).  BTW, which computer tech told you this? working in a store somewhere or..?
[20:17] <ZKAT8IT> oh im using ndiswrapper also
[20:18] <ravalox> So I thought if I could just see or use a working one it may explain the problem I'm having.
[20:18] <virginiatiger> Ello, is there an open office IRC channel?
[20:18] <DasEi> ravalox:paste yours
[20:18] <chamunks> Slart, yeah this experience was great ill be able to do this again now.
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> Altari: i'll ask again, what does lspci say it is?
[20:18] <Gnea> starbuckkkee: s/regraded/regarded/g
[20:18] <ZKAT8IT> auto lo
[20:18] <ZKAT8IT> iface lo inet loopback
[20:18] <chamunks> Slart, hopefully i wont have to but just sayin.
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> ZKAT8IT: thats fine, give us a pastebin of the file
[20:18] <ZKAT8IT> thats all the file says
[20:18] <Slart> chamunks: hehe =)
[20:18] <Pici> virginiatiger: #openoffice.org
[20:18] <Gnea> !pm > Rimen
[20:18] <virginiatiger> Pici, thanks
[20:18] <starbuckkkee> Gnea: yes, hes a computer shop owner... for more than 15 years now... from the very beginning
[20:18] <chamunks> Slart, maybe ill image my windows partition so that if i fsk it up ill be able to recover...
[20:18] <ejer> Babbleback: try doing a apt-get update... I just tried and it installs ok
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> ZKAT8IT: you can set static IP in that file
[20:18] <ravalox> This is my xorg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/45974/
[20:19] <Altari> ActionParsnip; i can't find it in lspci
[20:19] <Hackintosh411> Can anyone help me install Global-Menu Applet?
[20:19] <ZKAT8IT> yea, havent used linux in like 4 years and i didnt have wireless then, i have no clue how to setup a static ip in that file
[20:19] <Slart> chamunks: good idea.. if you've got the hard drive space for it
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> ZKAT8IT: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[20:19] <ejer> Hackintosh411: what is that program
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> ZKAT8IT: you'll need gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Altari: is it internal?
[20:20] <starbuckkkee> DasEi: thx, i will do that... so u say asrock has better performance and weaker onboard grafik? that would be good, which board?
[20:20] <Hackintosh411> Global-Menu Applet is a applet for ubuntu panels.
[20:20] <chamunks> Slart, I only need to backup the basic doze setup worst case i just revert back to brand new configuration day
[20:20] <ejer> Hackintosh411: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu
[20:20] <Altari> ActionParsnip; no, pcmcia
[20:20] <DasEi> ravalox:sry, using ati but see !nvidia, too
[20:20] <spuddys> Does anyone know how to create virtual hard drives in ubuntu?
[20:20] <chamunks> Slart, I just hate working out of a vm and i dont know how to use xen yet but it looks the most promising.
[20:20] <DasEi> !nvidia
[20:21] <chamunks> spuddys, are you looking to partition?
[20:21] <spuddys> May i PM and exsplain?
[20:21] <ravalox> I've tried the nvidia-settings to configure it but it won't let me choose a 720p resolution.
[20:21] <chamunks> spuddys, if you like
[20:21] <Altari> hmm
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> Altari: you need to find out what chip is in it and install that
[20:21] <Yashy> help! My nvidia driver seems to have gone awol, I'm stuck using VESA in 800x600   http://pastebin.com/m1df0dbb
[20:21] <DasEi> !ot> starbuckkkee :D
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Altari: the fact it doesnt show in lspci aint good
[20:22] <Altari> ActionParsnip; it's prism54 i believe
[20:22] <dragon33> greetings, what is the directory for the "fstab" file.. thanks
[20:22] <Altari> ActionParsnip; whenever i insert/remove it from the pcmcia slot
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Altari: did you boot with it in?
[20:22] <TiredWolf> dragon33: /etc
[20:22] <dforsyth> hey guys
[20:22] <Matt> quick question - why, when I export LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/profile, is it apparently unset, yet other env vars exported in /etc/profile are set
[20:22] <Altari> ActionParsnip; it shows the following:
[20:22] <dragon33> thanks :-)
[20:22] <DasEi>  dragon33: /etc/fstab
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> dragon33: /etc/fstab is the fstab file
[20:22] <winlix> Olas
[20:22] <Minty95> back
[20:22] <Altari> pccard: card ejected from slot 0
[20:22] <Altari> pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
[20:22] <starbuckkkee> DasEi: hehe :)
[20:22] <Matt> and this has only become an issue on hardy - the gutsy boxen here, it works as intended
[20:22] <sisyphe> hello guys

[20:24] <Altari> ActionParsnip; it makes no attempt to enable the device
[20:24] <sisyphe> another one ?
[20:24] <sisyphe> with more people ?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Altari: check the link

[20:24] <Gnea> !guidelines
[20:24] <Altari> ActionParsnip; i have. it's a different problem :p
[20:24] <DasEi> starbuckkkee: /join #hardware  or #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[20:24] <starbuckkkee> Gnea: yep, but i think he has a lot of knowledge
[20:25] <starbuckkkee> DasEi: ok, i'll do taht
[20:25] <Babbleback> Ejer, i still get a md5sum mismatch even after updating repositories
[20:25] <Gnea> starbuckkkee: well, that's your choice to make
[20:25] <kmpnybgn> Where can I find my menu.lst file? GRUB is pointing it to the wrong direction. Points to (hd2,4) instead of (hd0,4). Managed to boot it by directing it to the correct one in the GRUB menu, but it's not permanent. Anyone with some pointers for a newbie?
[20:25] <ejer> Babbleback: try apt-get clean then try it again
[20:25] <TiredWolf> kmpnybgn: it's in /boot/grub
[20:25] <ValentineX> AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu
[20:25] <Gnea> kmpnybgn: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:26] <kmpnybgn> thanks
[20:26] <Slart> kmpnybgn: edit the file.. then run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal to make your settings take effect
[20:27] <Slart> kmpnybgn: "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" to edit it
[20:27] <clever> Slart: thats the bad way to edit files as root, theres a sudoedit for a reason:P
[20:28] <Yashy> My nvidia driver seems to have gone awol, I'm stuck using VESA in 800x600   http://pastebin.com/m1df0dbb ANy help or pointers is appreciated.
[20:28] <Guest47772> how do i change my background?
[20:28] <Slart> clever: I've never really understood why the sudoedit command existed.. why is it bad?
[20:28] <clever> Slart: running the editor as root causes it to use roots config(if your lucky) or screw up who owns your own config
[20:28] <dforsyth> Guest47772: are you retarded?
[20:28] <krzysztof> i can try that :  Device  "i810.ko" ??
[20:28] <Guest47772> no, i just am new to linux
[20:28] <Slart> dforsyth: not really a good way to help people
[20:28] <clever> Slart: using sudoedit will copy the file to one you own, then run the editor as yourself, then copy it back when done
[20:28] <lucax> Yashy: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[20:28] <Matt> so no thoughts on this LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue?
[20:28] <TiredWolf> clever: why would it screw up?
[20:28] <dforsyth> Guest47772: you cant be serious
[20:28] <Yashy> lucax: Did you see my pastebin?
[20:29] <Guest47772> no i cant see the option
[20:29] <Gnea> dforsyth: stop.
[20:29] <sisyphe> sudo halt
[20:29] <dforsyth> *sigh*
[20:29] <kmpnybgn> huh, says I don't have write-permission to menu.lst
[20:29] <Guest47772> also why is my resoultion 800x600
[20:29] <Gnea> Guest47772: right-click on the desktop
[20:29] <clever> TiredWolf: the editor runs as root, so the config it saves to your home may be owned by root, blocking access to your own config files
[20:29] <Slart> dforsyth: no reason for that kind of language.. don't answer at all if you feel that way
[20:29] <clever> TiredWolf: (the config of the editor itself)
[20:29] <Slart> clever, TiredWolf it's kind of the same problem you get when using sudo with gui apps
[20:29] <dforsyth> Guest47772: right click your desktop, the option should be there
[20:29] <TiredWolf> clever: i thought that's what gksudo reasonably guaranteed to avoid, compared to plain sudo.
[20:29] <Guest47772> its not there
[20:30] <dforsyth> Guest47772: what os are you using
[20:30] <Guest47772> os x
[20:30] <dforsyth> man wtf.
[20:30] <lucax> Yashy: yes... if you ever had the drivers running correctly just reinstall them... or enter in failsafe mode and do the x fix
[20:30] <Gnea> !language | dforsyth
[20:30] <clever> TiredWolf: gksudo just does a few special things so X11(gui) stuff works right
[20:30] <TiredWolf> Slart, right, so you use gksudo
[20:30] <Gnea> Guest47772: this is an Ubuntu support channel, please try #OSX
[20:30] <dforsyth> my bad
[20:30] <Guest47772> ohhh okay
[20:30] <Gnea> dforsyth: that's the last time.
[20:30] <clever> TiredWolf: if your lucky, it will use /root/ as $HOME and youll just wind up with a totaly different set of configs(whole editor back to defaults)
[20:30] <dforsyth> i said 'my bad'
[20:31] <Nutzebahn> Hello.
[20:31] <Nutzebahn> Debcreator is telling me that it is unable to detect the top source directory in my Megatunix archive, I am using Ubuntu 8.04, help?
[20:31] <clever> TiredWolf: when you use sudoedit it will run $EDITOR on the file as your own user
[20:31] <ValentineX> intel AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu
[20:32] <Guest47772> #nick newbie
[20:32] <TiredWolf> clever, well, with sudoedit don't you end up with an entirely different editor altogether, anyway? also, doesn't that imply you should never use *anything* graphical with root privileges? (if so, why does gksudo exist?)
[20:32] <clever> TiredWolf: sudoedit will use whatever editor you set in EDITOR
[20:32] <kmpnybgn> So, I'm trying to edit menu.lst, but it says I don't have write permission. Tried sudo edit boot/menu.lst, but that didn't work. I don't even know if it should, though. I could open it, and I saw where the errors where, but I can't change it. Any pointers?
[20:32] <clever> TiredWolf: export EDITOR=gedit
[20:32] <ValentineX> Flips a coin: HEADS
[20:32] <clever> TiredWolf: i have one of those lines in my .bashrc so the default editor for everything is vim which i prefer
[20:33] <spuddys> Does anyone know how to create virtual hard drives in ubuntu?
[20:33] <TiredWolf> clever, however if i remember correctly EDITOR is not supposed to be an X11 program (i vaguely remember there's another variable, or at least a debconf setting, for that)
[20:33] <Gnea> spuddys: yes.
[20:33] <ValentineX> intel AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu
[20:33] <spuddys> Gnea - I need to resize my wubi drive to an extra 50GB
[20:33] <spuddys> or create another 50GB Partition
[20:33] <clever> TiredWolf: yes theres also a VISEDITOR for the graphic ones, not shure what its called exactly
[20:33] <danbh_intrepid> kmpnybgn: what command are you using to edit it?
[20:33] <Rimen> OK, Sorry: How do you reset pidgin setting
[20:33] <kmpnybgn> sudo, and just edit. should it be gedit?
[20:33] <clever> TiredWolf: VISUAL and EDITOR
[20:34] <Rimen> [configuration]
[20:34] <Gnea> spuddys: it's explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[20:34] <bonez46> what would make vlc NOT play a *.mov movie file correctly? do I need to add any plugin to play a .mov file?
[20:34] <danbh_intrepid> kmpnybgn: well, if you are using sudo, you SHOULD have permissions...
[20:34] <clever> TiredWolf: im guessing the point of having 2, is so it can fall back to a 'text mode' one when the 1st fails, but it probly doesnt care if either one uses graphics
[20:34] <ValentineX> intel AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu
[20:34] <Gnea> !pm > Rimen

[20:35] <jordan[]> hi
[20:35] <adac> Can somone help me? I have no sound on my new computer and my fresh ubuntu hardy installation
[20:35] <Gnea> spuddys: you must've done something wrong then.
[20:35] <clever> !hi | jordan[]

[20:36] <badfish> u
[20:36] <JerryLeeCooper> so what is this linux thing
[20:36] <danbh_intrepid> jordan[]: does iwconfig show a connection?
[20:36] <ValentineX> clever: its not my first day asking the same question here :(( I don't get reply seems ubuntu have less hardware support.
[20:36] <clever> ValentineX: i think i have an ac97 card on one of my systems
[20:36] <badfish> what do i change the timout to in menu.lst so that grub never times out?
[20:36] <Rimen> Gnea, man, can you tell me how to reset pidgin settings
[20:36] <badfish> can i just comment it?
[20:36] <bonez46> anyone, know how to make vlc play .mov files?
[20:36] <clever> 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 12)
[20:36] <jordan[]> yes
[20:36] <jordan[]> it shows the connection
[20:36] <clever> ValentineX: yep there it is, works just fine for me, i dont remember doing anything special
[20:37] <ejer> ValentineX: have you done https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[20:37] <jordan[]> says its like 82%
[20:37] <JerryLeeCooper> its it like a windows plugin?
[20:37] <danbh_intrepid> !who > jordan[]    it makes it easier for me
[20:37] <evilbug> bonez46- it doesn't by default?
[20:37] <badfish> can i just comment the timeout line in menu.lst to keep grub from automatically booting something?
[20:37] <lucax> badfish: thats not a good idea, if you ever have to do some fixing for some reason, you will need that time to enter in failsafe... so its better if you set 3 secs or so...
[20:37] <virginiatiger> has anyone heard of TimeVault?
[20:37] <badfish> i see
[20:38] <ejer> JerryLeeCooper: linux is an operating system, it replaces windows
[20:38] <badfish> i want it to never pick anything though
[20:38] <bonez46> evilbug: well, not well, the video is all garbled... chopped up.. thought eh audio is just fine
[20:38] <JerryLeeCooper> how is that possible
[20:38] <badfish> to make me choose
[20:38] <jordan[]> !tab okay
[20:38] <danbh_intrepid> jordan[]: ifconfig shows no ip address?
[20:38] <JerryLeeCooper> windows is the thing that talks to the hardware
[20:38] <jordan[]> yes danbh
[20:38] <chamunks> spuddys, i would checkout the ubuntu wiki for wubi https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[20:38] <evilbug> bonez46- did you install restricted extras?
[20:38] <ejer> JerryLeeCooper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[20:38] <danbh_intrepid> jordan[]: use tab completion too
[20:38] <badfish> so i can reboot and walk away and not be back in ubuntu
[20:38] <jordan[]> danbh_intrepid: it shows the connection
[20:38] <ValentineX> ejer: that's helpful :D
[20:38] <bonez46> evilbug: no, how do I install them?
[20:39] <lucax> badfish: i understand what you are tryin to do... but i say again.. its not a good idea... set 1 sec
[20:39] <danbh_intrepid> jordan[]: have you tried network-manager?
[20:39] <JerryLeeCooper> thats impossible
[20:39] <jordan[]> danbh_intrepid: wait i think it says local address unknown
[20:39] <comput3r> hi, is there a program for ubuntu that opens uif files?
[20:39] <TiredWolf> comput3r: what's an uif file?
[20:39] <evilbug> bonez46- open up a terminal and type> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:39] <chamunks> spuddys, inside that it says to download the 'wubi-ass-virtual-disk' package
[20:39] <Krumar> come on JerryLeeCooper http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_13.shtml
[20:39] <ejer> JerryLeeCooper: if you want to chat about it, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic obviously we all run linux here, so it seems possible
[20:40] <ValentineX> What is shell? "Go to a shell and type"
[20:40] <grendal_prime> ok im now trying to set up my treo650 to "tether" to my linux laptop so i can use it when im camping. hehehe soo can someone tell me this....
[20:40] <evilbug> bonez46- see where that gets you. i know that linux doesn't go well with apple formats, but then again i never played any .mov in linux.
[20:40] <grendal_prime> in the how to it says "Obtain the user name, password and dial number from your wireless provider."
 MagicISO has a freeware program called MagicDisk that can open UIF files on Windows computers.
[20:42] <SebNaitsabes> JerryLeeCoooper: depending on what you want to use your computer for,  and how willing you are to learn something new on the computer,  a Linux distribution may be rather ideal for you
[20:43] <ejer> comput3r: http://onubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/11/dealing-with-uif-files.html magiciso works in wine apparently
[20:43] <SebNaitsabes> such as for example Ubuntu
[20:43] <Gnea> SebNaitsabes: er, he left

[20:43] <DuKeS> ok in about 10mins (burning iso right now) i'll be installing hardy heron and i need to know...once i install, do i enable the restricted drivers that ubuntu shows for my nvidia card or do i do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx  (and if i do sudo apt-get, do i want the legacy or new drivers or what?) chipset is an nvidia nforce2, graphics is an nvidia geforce 4MX integrated shared video
[20:43] <grendal_prime> that is pretty damn fuuny
[20:43] <DasEi>  bonez46:shure mov is not dmaged ?other players? vlc brings all codecs own, usually
[20:43] <Rimen> Gnea, how can I do that is the files/folders don't exist
[20:43] <Gnea> !wtf | ali_
[20:43] <SebNaitsabes> Krumar: oh it was a joke
[20:43] <Scunizi> Any good resources to read up on initiating RAID on Ubuntu Server? I've got a friend running a hosting service that just switched to Ubuntu Server from Win.
[20:43] <Krumar> http://rixstep.com/1/1/20070724,00.shtml
[20:43] <spuddys> Gnea
[20:43] <SebNaitsabes> Krumar: well I was vagugely following the convo
[20:44] <Gnea> Rimen: what about ~/.pidgin/ ?
[20:44] <ejer> DuKeS: you should use the hardware drivers app in system>admin>hardware drivers
[20:44] <grendal_prime> i mean..somewhere windows has to be driving something on the machine...why else would it be included on every computer sold heheheheh
[20:44] <ZKAT8IT> this is my interfaces file when i try to set up a static IP, but it doesnt work...  http://pastebin.com/m29cb9fa6
[20:44] <bonez46> DasEi: well, I think vlc is fine.. how can I check it?
[20:44] <kmpnybgn> I think I've managed to get it to work. A reboot will show that. Thanks for the help ! :)
[20:44] <ali_> ok wtf i finally get ubuntu workin good n now this i cant copy files to my psp it keeps sayin the file on my desktop is read only and it aint anyone?
[20:44] <Rimen> pidgin instead of purple
[20:44] <Rimen> right
[20:44] <spuddys> Gnea you around?
[20:44] <ali_> damn its still gt swear in it
[20:44] <dforsyth> ali_: you just said that
[20:44] <anom01y> does anyone know why my X server crashes on one account when I am using another ?
[20:44] <DuKeS> ejer: but for some reason when i tried that in ubuntu 7.10 it gave me some problems with video playback...it played choppy
[20:44] <Gnea> !ask | spuddys
[20:44] <Jacobbs> Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this stuff and I had a few questions.
[20:44] <DasEi>  bonez46:shure mov-file isn't corrupt ?
[20:45] <anom01y> (I have two accounts open at the same time)
[20:45] <Jacobbs> Does Ubuntu work on NTFS?
[20:45] <ejer> DuKeS: it installs the same driver
[20:45] <ali_> ok why is it stil sayin write protected??
[20:45] <ali_> it isnt
[20:45] <bonez46> DasEi: well, I should try it on a windows box and see if it plays there..
[20:45] <Gnea> Jacobbs: no, but it works with NTFS.
[20:45] <ali_> listen to me ubuntu!!
[20:45] <grendal_prime> does anyone use there treo650 or centro as a dun server for there linux laptop?
[20:45] <spuddys> I have done that create virtual disk
[20:45] <Rimen> Gnea, it doesn't work
[20:45] <spuddys> but how do i mount it?
[20:45] <holyguyver_> My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to?
[20:45] <DasEi>  bonez46:or try with mplayer
[20:45] <ali_> bad os listen now lol
[20:45] <Jacobbs> Okay, so I'd have to install it on it's own partition?
[20:45] <plowman> has ompaul been in tonight
[20:45] <Scunizi> Jacobbs: if you mean will it read and write to it. .yes.. can you install it on a ntfs partition .. no
[20:45] <DuKeS> ejer: how do i solve the choppy video problem if it happens again though?
[20:45] <Jacobbs> Alrighty
[20:45] <J-n> ali_: Proof?
[20:46] <ejer> DuKeS: it could be caused by many things.. does it happen with every video on every player?
[20:46] <Gnea> spuddys: the website given to you earlier says how.
[20:46] <zubwolf_> hi, i'm using ubuntu hardy(2.6.24-19-generic), while trying to create an ubuntu package in a pbuilder chail everything seems fine, dh_make finishes clean, "pbuilder create *.dsc" does fine, but "sudo pbuilder build *.dsc" finishes with "Tcl cannot be found on this system.", seems like "pbuilder create" doesn't care about the tcl-dependency
[20:46] <ali_> J-n:   the file says not write proteced it usually works?
[20:46] <spuddys> No
[20:46] <DuKeS> ejer: yep...i love VLC especifically but it also happens on mplayer and totem
[20:46] <spuddys> it dosent
[20:46] <ogzy> how can i load rtc-cmos module to enable /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm at hardy? when i write modprobe rtc-cmos it says FATAL: Module rtc_cmos not found
[20:46] <ZKAT8IT> can anyone help me with my wireless? i enable roaming mode and it works, but if i try to set a static IP it stops working, this is my interfaces file..  http://pastebin.com/m29cb9fa6
[20:46] <spuddys> Well if it does it dosent work
[20:46] <zubwolf_> any idea about what i can do to get this build done would be really apreciated
[20:46] <danbh_intrepid> zubwolf_: try #ubuntu-motu
[20:46] <Scunizi> Jacobbs: to make it easier.. you really need 3 partitions.. one called "/" or root (8-12 gigs).. one called /swap 1 gig max.. and /home (the rest of the drive for all your data)
[20:46] <J-n> ali_: i'm sorry lol, i meant that to go into a diffrent window
[20:46] <Jacobbs> okay
[20:47] <holyguyver_> My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to?
[20:47] <DuKeS> ejer: and it seems to happen most when i go fullscreen...when in windowed mode the choppiness doesn't seem as bad
[20:47] <Gnea> spuddys: you'll need to try it again and pastebin the error.
[20:47] <zubwolf_> danbh_intrepid, oh, i don't know ubuntu-moto, i will now read about it, thx
[20:47] <Jacobbs> I come from Windows
[20:47] <spuddys> doesnt give an error
[20:47] <Jacobbs> So that doesn't really make a ton of sense to me >.>
[20:47] <StephenF> Hello, I've done something stupid. I converted my linux drive to a dynamic disk while I was in Windows. I thought I was acting on a different drive. Now GRUB is giving me error 17 and won't go to the boot menu. Is there any way to recover from this? Google search have proven unsuccessful so far
[20:47] <ali_> J-n:   lol nm
[20:47] <_Zeus_> holyguyver_: go to a terminal and type ls /dev/sd*
[20:47] <_Zeus_> pastebin the output
[20:47] <Gnea> spuddys: then how do you know that it didn't mount?
[20:47] <danbh_intrepid> zubwolf_: motu not moto
[20:47] <spuddys> because its not showing in computer
[20:47] <Jacobbs> Scunizi, is it cool if I PM you?
[20:47] <DasEi> !grub>StephenF
[20:47] <_Zeus_> spuddys: paste the output of /dev/sd*
[20:48] <spuddys> Well
[20:48] <zubwolf_> danbh_intrepid, my fault, thx:)
[20:48] <_Zeus_> * the output of /dev/sd*
[20:48] <Gnea> spuddys: that doesn't count, you need to check the output of the df -Th command
[20:48] <ejer> DuKeS: it is an old card, but still should work ok... try it again the way I said and we can go from there
[20:48] <state> when i hover over a mp3 file or something other in the filebrowser nothing happens ... i searched and found that i should install mpg321 but this didn't help ... what is needed for this?
[20:48] <Scunizi> Jacobbs: well.. / (root) contains all the system files and other things.. /swap is also part of windows but not it's own partition.. a separate /home with your data is a protection so you can do a fresh reinstall when needed and not loose anything.
[20:48] <spuddys> http://pastebin.com/m19f5551d
[20:48] <spuddys> There you go
[20:48] <StephenF> BTW, I am able to access the drive when using a live CD, so the files are all there. I just need to fix the boot section
[20:48] <Jacobbs> Ahh okay
[20:48] <DuKeS> ejer: alright...i'll install right now...hopefully ur still here once i'm back :P thanx for the help
[20:48] <holyguyver_> _Zeus_, this is what it said /dev/sda   /dev/sda2  /dev/sda4  /dev/sda6  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdc1  /dev/sde /dev/sda1  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda5  /dev/sdb   /dev/sdc   /dev/sdd   /dev/sdf
[20:48] <Jacobbs> Now for swap
[20:49] <StephenF> DasEi: I didnt get anything, possibly because I am on Mibbit
[20:49] <Gnea> spuddys: okay, you formatted it. so?
[20:49] <Jacobbs> I could for-seeably make that the Windows pagefile partition too right?
[20:49] <gouki> Any idea how I can access a Virtual Machine from my Host machine, ssh-wise?
[20:49] <DasEi> StephenF: did you also reset that change from windows ? you might also check fstab fur wrong uuids...
[20:49] <spuddys> No i just created it
[20:49] <spuddys> How i mount it then
[20:49] <spuddys> im new to linux learning.
[20:49] <jim_p> gouki: install ssh on both of them
[20:49] <bonez46> DasEi: ok. there are two versions.. one for quicktime  .mov and other for windows medial player .wmv  the .wmv version plays...but I want to play it on my linux box
[20:49] <jim_p> gouki: and do this at a terminal
[20:49] <StephenF> StephenF: No i didnt attempt to change the drive back to a basic drive. Should I try that?
[20:50] <StephenF> ^ DasEi
[20:50] <gouki> jim_p, doesn't work.they're are on different networks. virtualbox uses 10.0.2.x
[20:50] <spuddys> Gnea - How would i mount it then?
[20:50] <Gnea> spuddys: here, i'll give you the URL again... http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=737848
[20:50] <sisyphe> go fu prick
[20:50] <spuddys> Thanks
[20:50] <jim_p> oh :(
[20:50] <Babbleback> why would i consistantly get a checksum error while trying to install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:50] <holyguyver_> _Zeus_, it said /dev/sda   /dev/sda2  /dev/sda4  /dev/sda6  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdc1  /dev/sde
[20:50] <holyguyver_> /dev/sda1  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda5  /dev/sdb   /dev/sdc   /dev/sdd   /dev/sdf
[20:50] <Scunizi> Jacobbs: no.. it needs it's own.. you can't use the wind pagefile.. /swap isn't really accessed very much like pagefile is but it's necessary
[20:50] <Gnea> Babbleback: what version of Ubuntu?
[20:51] <Babbleback> Gnea, 7.04
[20:51] <Gnea> Babbleback: known issue, did you run sudo apt-get update?
[20:51] <Jacobbs> Scunizi, I'm saying that I could use the partition for the same purpose right?
[20:51] <Babbleback> Gnea, yes
[20:51] <xxploit> any1 know if there are any video players for linux which can play video in the terminal, without X?
[20:51] <Jacobbs> Because I don't wanto to be running both Ubuntu and XP at the same time
[20:51] <Gnea> Babbleback: try upgrading to 8.04 then
[20:51] <ejer> gouki: you can use bridged networking,, but I think you should be able to ssh into NAT as well
[20:51] <Jacobbs> Wouldn't that work?
[20:51] <spuddys> Gnea - I dont know how to mount it i dont know the location of it
[20:51] <Babbleback> Gnea, failes
[20:51] <DasEi>  bonez46: for usual vlc plays both on both systems out the box, check your media-file...
[20:51] <Babbleback> Gnea, failes and i have a broken system
[20:51] <Scunizi> Jacobbs: they do pretty much the same thing.. but you wouldn't be able to tell windows to use the same partition because of the formatting.
[20:52] <Gnea> Babbleback: fails how?
[20:52] <cenubis> I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04?
[20:52] <DasEi> !grub
[20:52] <Jacobbs> Right, I just thought of that.
[20:52] <ejer> Babbleback: enable proposed updates in software sources perhaps
[20:52] <DasEi> StephenF: did you also reset that change from windows ? you might also check fstab fur wrong uuids...
[20:52] <DasEi> StephenF: got !grub ?
[20:52] <cenubis> I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04? I have a Verizon USB Aircard and use WV dial; it initiates the connection and everything fine but it is very very slow.
[20:52] <holyguyver_> My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to?
[20:52] <Gnea> spuddys: that URL tells you how to mount it. and you ran the command to format it, therefore you know the location.
[20:52] <StephenF> DasEi: No i did not try to change the disk back to basic, should I do that?
[20:52] <StephenF> !grub
[20:53] <faemir> Can someone tell me why when I try to do sudo mysqladmin -u root password "mynewpassword" it doesn't let me?
[20:53] <ejer> xxploit: you could try mplayer -vo cac file - more funny than usable tho
[20:53] <ejer> xxploit: you could try mplayer -vo caca file - more funny than usable tho
[20:53] <spuddys> it just tells me
[20:53] <spuddys> No found directory
[20:53] <Babbleback> Gnea, i make it 7.10 then the 8.04 upgrade fails.. don't remember if there was an error message or it just hangs, but i've tried to upgrade a 7.04 many times... i've actually only been able to download 8.04 without getting checksum errors also
[20:53] <ejer> faemir: what does it say
[20:53] <Babbleback> Gnea, once that is
[20:53] <Gnea> Babbleback: it was probably the localegens error - easily solved
[20:54] <Babbleback> Gnea, ok
[20:54] <faemir> ejer: http://rafb.net/p/8hNjuU28.html
[20:54] <cenubis> I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04? I have a Verizon USB Aircard and use WV dial; it initiates the connection and everything fine but it is very very slow.
[20:54] <Babbleback> Gnea, is that with respect to my flash problem or my upgrading to 8.04 problem
[20:54] <DasEi> StephenF: yes, partitons are often marked with unique identifiers (uuids) which change if you resize/alter partis, so the pointers are wrong then
[20:54] <Gnea> spuddys: when you type what?
[20:54] <ejer> faemir: if you have a mysql root password you need to do mysqladmin -u root -p password 'newpass'
[20:54] <Gnea> Babbleback: both.
[20:55] <spuddys> sudo mount -o loop /ubuntu/disks/extra.disk /media/extra
[20:55] <faemir> ejer: well this is a new install, is there one by default?
[20:55] <StephenF> DasEi: Ok i will try to repair that using Grub. Thank you
[20:55] <ejer> faemir: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[20:55] <faemir> ejer: done, now which command?
[20:56] <spuddys> Fixed
[20:56] <spuddys> I put wrong directory in
[20:56] <DasEi> StephenF: first undo change in windows, then try reinatlling grub, still probs, come back here
[20:56] <spuddys> thanks gena
[20:56] <Gnea> spuddys: yup
[20:56] <Gnea> spuddys: cheers

[20:56] <ohgodnotanother1> hi, quick question. how do I restart the xserver in ubuntu. ctrl+alt+bkspace won't work?
[20:56] <spuddys> Gnea - Sorry for my attitude sometimes linux can be a pain :D but thanks you made me very happy
[20:56] <Pirate_Hunter> ohgodnotanother1: you could try comamnd killx
[20:57] <Gnea> spuddys: not a problem, you stuck with it and made it work anyway - that's what we like around here. :)
[20:57] <stefg> ohgodnotanother1: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart is the civilized way
[20:57] <spuddys> :D
[20:57] <faemir> ejer: thanks, i'll take a look
[20:57] <spuddys> Gnea just a quick one, To install Wine on the 50GB is it just go into the drive extra and install it there in Apt-get wine?
[20:58] <Gnea> spuddys: honestly, i've never used the extra disk - from what i can tell, wubi just automates its use, but again, i'm not sure about it. you should be able to just install wine from the add/remove menu and it'll be fine
[20:59] <spuddys> No i mean install it onto the other drive
[20:59] <spuddys> like to cd hop to another drive how would i get to it
[20:59] <spuddys> like CD extra or what?
[20:59] <Gnea> i'm lost now :)
[20:59] <Drk_Guy> Hi!
[20:59] <Babbleback> Gnea, so what is the localegens error
[20:59] <spuddys> I want to install Wine onto the extra drive
[20:59] <spuddys> is there like a choose what drive you want to install it on?
[20:59] <spuddys> or does it auto goto Drive Filesystem?
[21:00] <Drk_Guy> How can i make an utility process all mp3 files keeping the same filenames as output but on different folders?
[21:00] <Minty95>  I have deleted the icon on network manager on the app panel, and am no longer available to choose my connection, any help would ne nice
[21:00] <ubuntutlups> hello everyone i burn the image CD and once i boot it on my system it gives me an error an says. Error on Boot CD. and does not install.. what it would be ?
[21:00] <spuddys> gena you get what i mean
[21:00] <danbh_intrepid> Minty95: its nm-applet
[21:00] <spuddys> like how do i install somthing onto another drive
[21:01] <stefg> spuddys: wine needs a .wine subdir in your home-dir. The linux way would be to take that whole (hidden) dir .wine, shift it to the location you want and symlink it back into your /home
[21:01] <faemir> anyone help me on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset ? it fails on the second thing you have to do
[21:01] <spuddys> I dont understand
[21:01] <StephenF> ubuntutlups: did you run the "Check CD for defects" ?
[21:01] <ozzloy> when i plug my camera in, fspot janks it immediately.  how do i just mount it?
[21:01] <Gnea> Babbleback: just ctrl-c everytime it's trying to generate the locale en_AU.UTF-8... and let the whole thing finish
[21:01] <ubuntutlups> yes
[21:01] <ubuntutlups> and gives me the same error
[21:01] <ubuntutlups> ERROR: on BOOT.
[21:01] <ozzloy> i want to use it to store some data
[21:01] <Gnea> Babbleback: when you reboot, login and: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[21:01] <Gnea> Babbleback: that's it :)
[21:02] <stefg> spuddys: i thought that. read about symbolic links (man ln would be a good start)
[21:02] <Minty95> danbh_intrepid, I cant find it to download :(
[21:02] <ubuntutlups> i think the image is corrupt
[21:02] <StephenF> ubuntutlups: then you probably have either a bad burn, or a bad download. Did you verify the checksum of your download?
[21:02] <gonzaloaf_laptop> hi, is there a problem sending mails using thunderbird and ubuntu 8.04 though the smtp server of gmail? I cannot send emails, I got a error message
[21:02] <spuddys> stefg - I dont want that
[21:02] <ubuntutlups> checksum ?
[21:02] <ubuntutlups> how do i do that ?
[21:02] <ozzloy> how do i mount a usb device?
[21:02] <StephenF> ubuntutlups: did you download the image from the ubuntu website?
[21:03] <Drk_Guy> any good bash scripter here?
[21:03] <stefg> spuddys: what? wine?
[21:03] <ubuntutlups> yes..
[21:03] <Gnea> spuddys: it's not like windows with drive letters - partitions are mounted onto different directories, so if you do a df -Th, it'll tell you where the space is being allocated
[21:03] <ubuntutlups> from the ubuntu oficial site
[21:03] <ubuntutlups> ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[21:03] <spuddys> Ok,
[21:03] <spuddys> So i just goto the directory that the vdisk is in?
[21:04] <Gnea> spuddys: you can always move files around and remount with fstab if need be, but i'm not sure how well that jives with wubi
[21:04] <StephenF> ubuntutlups: here you go: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[21:04] <Minty95> how can I FIND nm-applet ??
[21:04] <stefg> spuddys: first install wine and run winecfg. this will set up wine initially and create thet hidden dir ~/.wine in your home-dir
[21:04] <ubuntutlups> thanks stephenF ill read the comment you ok.
[21:04] <ubuntutlups> can i PM u ?
