[15:55] <ToeKnee> What to do when you run  "sudo fsck.reiserfs /dev/hdc4 --rebuild-tree" and get the error ".Not enough allocable blocks, checking bitmap...there are 0 allocable blocks, btw out of disk space"?
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> ToeKnee: I run live cd  mount the ext and make room
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> ToeKnee: /var/cache/apt/archives can be saved to a disk and pulled from the drive
[15:57] <onliner> kex: what your problem
[15:57] <kex> onliner: alsa does not work
[15:57] <ToeKnee> I have, but I'm not sure how to make room, I can't mount /dev/hdc4.
[15:57] <onliner> what you mean can't install
[15:58] <bmt2> is there a way to invoke 'screen resolution' thru terminal ?
[15:58] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i look at what you pasted, did the ipw2100 firmware succesfully loaded at all?
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> bmt2: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:58] <sgtmattbaker> hello, I am trying to write a bash script to clone XP.  I want it to compress while copying.  I think I have it right, but I want to make sure "ntfsclone /dev/sda1 -s -O /media/Windows_XP_backup2/Windows_XP_full | bzip2 -" is wrong, but I dont know what to do.
[15:59] <onliner> kex : you is installed driver
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sgtmattbaker: never used that... I do use the dd command, same as in backup..
[15:59] <kex> onliner: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45790/
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup

[15:59] <onliner> kex : what url this is
[15:59] <tabber> i can't install the package libpam-keyring because it says it is not available, anybody knows which repo it belongs to?
[15:59] <sgtmattbaker> Jack_Sparrow: thanks man, you know you could always just tell me yourself instead of getting a bot to tell me to read stuff.  I need help with the bash syntax.
[16:00] <kex> onliner: its the error message i get
[16:00] <MolePrince> Jack_Sparrow:  It's my personal laptop, not an actual server, more a terminal for them.  But I don't use X or any desktop environment or anything, so I was wondering if ubuntu-server would eb good for that.
[16:00] <onliner> _hari_ : you are indonesian people
[16:00] <ToeKnee> it was originally on  /dev/hda7 (mounted as /home) and was 99% full when it had an error.  I have bought a new HD and dd'd the partition to a bigger partition (nearly twice the size) then tried to  "sudo fsck.reiserfs /dev/hdc4 --rebuild-tree" but it still says it can't allocate blocks...
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> sgtmattbaker: We type those to keep from repeating ourselves.  I have never used that tool you are using so I would not want to comment on it
[16:00] <onliner> kex: ok i can open that url
[16:01] <mzanfardino> bulmer: I'm not sure how to answer that.  I can say that I am currently online with the wireless nic which identifies itself as using the ipw2100.  If the firmware didn't load I'd guess (and it's just a guess) that that nic would not work.  I'm also guessing that the repeated messages are probably in sync with the loss of connectivity that I'm experiecing, though I can't prove it as I don't have a timestamp on the dmesg
[16:01] <bmt2> how do i restart X ?
[16:01] <snausage> hey anyone have a plam treo?
[16:01] <kex> onliner: mm check it out

[16:01] <MdL054> I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 and when I boot off the disk and when I hit run/install it just brings me to Command Line (initrmfs) wtfff?

[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> sgtmattbaker: np
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> bmt2: np
[16:02] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i believe the intel error starts here  nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
[16:02] <sgtmattbaker> alright I wil head to bash

[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Happosade: some people have no problem, others have a nightmare.  I personally have never tried it
[16:08] <bullgard4> What is the function of the kjournal?
[16:09] <Happosade> Jack_Sparrow: Ok. So I have to go to google
[16:09] <SatManUK> well sorry i am trying to make a quick fix - im not posting an essay anyway.. windows - ntfs - is sda 5 so how do i configure that in to grub?
[16:09] <onliner> kex: i dont know solve your problem, this is the reason i offer you some topic
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Happosade: SOmetimes people here can help, but not many use it
[16:09] <kex> onliner: but i dont have another problem
[16:09] <NewUserr> Happosade : but Wine isnt safe right?
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> SatManUK: super grub repair cd
[16:10] <onliner> kex: ok thanks, i am sorry i can't help you
[16:10] <mzanfardino> bulmer: sorry, system crash.  did you respond to my last message about the firmware?
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: wine is safe,
[16:10] <kex> onliner: ok bye ^
[16:10] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> but somehow it recovered and loaded it via ndiswrapper? i dont know..
[16:11] <Happosade> NewUserr: ??? It's just like Windows, just on Linux :)
[16:11] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: What about viruses on Wine?
[16:11] <SatManUK> ok i have the grub editor in terminal - now what?
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: they can not effect the linux part of your os.
[16:11] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> thats the experience am getting, anything network i/o get stucked, my system halts so i have to reboot
[16:11] <mzanfardino> bulmer: sorry, just got that last message,but I suspect you wrote something before it.  However, to provide backgroud, I only recently loaded ndiswrapper to support the pcmcia linksys nic.  I've since unloaded it.
[16:11] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: Ok thanks
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: At worst you would apt-get wine and reload it
[16:12] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: well they can but they have to be a very badly written virus or written specifically for wine :)
[16:12] <bmt2> how do i do a search using apt-get ?
[16:12] <bmt2> trying to install flash player....
[16:12] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i believe the intel error starts here  nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8 <-- i thought this could have caused the original error
[16:12] <Happosade> NewUserr: Just open only files, what is your installations
[16:12] <bmt2> i want to basically install everything and anything i need thru apt-get
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche: I would imagine there might be a way, but have never seen one
[16:12] <sergio_> alguien me puede ayudar acerca de unos plugins de firefox?
[16:12] <mzanfardino> bulmer: ok, so like right now that I've rebooted I have no issue with my connectino and my dmesg does not reflect any firmware issues with ipw2100

[16:12] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[16:12] <mzanfardino> bulmer: ok, that's a start
[16:13] <NewUserr> Happosade : trying out now
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[16:13] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[16:13] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> yeah, sometimes the system recovers..a reboot is all it takes :)
[16:13] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: well you haven't played around to much with wine then :)
[16:13] <mzanfardino> bulmer: now, i bet if I start an scp file transfer between my server and this machine I will see the connection cycle as before and I bet I will see the firmware issues in the dmesg output
[16:13] <stuart-> hm, how do i browse .hidden files?
[16:13] <NewUserr> kitche:why?
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche: I have no use for it, but I am in here most of the time and have not seen others with virii that did anything to linux
[16:14] <sui_> ls -a
[16:14] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> before you download, just for kicks  check if ipw2100 related modules are loaded or not..  via  lsmod|grep ipw2100
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> stuart-: there is a pulldown menu option to show hidden
[16:14] <stuart-> Jack_Sparrow, cool, thanks.
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:14] <bmt2> could i do : sudo apt-get install flash 9 ?
[16:14] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: or they don't notice it
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> bmt2: did you read the link above
[16:15] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> then also do a tail -f /var/log/messages  before downloading and you can spot the event while it records it
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche: let me know when you can document that issue
[16:15] <bmt2> Jack_Sparrow: i saw the link , tried to click on it and got nothing
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> bmt2: try again it works
[16:16] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Good morning comrade leenoocks users ;)
[16:16] <NewUserr> kitche:there was a guy who tried out different virus on Wine but they didnt harm Linux
[16:16] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Are there any gamers in?
[16:17] <RPG_> Every time I boot up Ubuntu, it defaults to "Low Graphics Mode", despite the fact I've installed the NVIDIA driver multiple times, and ran nvidia-xconfig also.
[16:17] <MolePrince> Does Ubuntu have support for vesa framebuffers?
[16:17] <RPG_> It started happening after I installed a custom kernel
[16:17] <sergio_> me podriais decir como meterme en el canal ubuntu españa
[16:17] <RPG_> but since then, i've moved back to the vanilla kernel
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> RPG_: have you setup your monitor refresh info and not just the video card
[16:18] <erUSUL> RPG_: restricted-modules want work with a custom kernel
[16:18] <mzanfardino> bulmer: as I suspected, as soon as I started the file transfer, in this case with scp, my connectivity started to cycle from connected to disconnected and back and sure enough I got messages in dmesg output reflecting the firmware error.  I will attach the last 30+ list of message so you can see.
[16:18] <erUSUL> won't*
[16:18] <kitche> NewUserr: you mean http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598&page=4?
[16:18] <RPG_> erUSUL, so, I cannot expect to have NVIDIA support if I compile my own kernel?
[16:18] <erUSUL> RPG_: you need to custom compile the driver against the custom kernel
[16:18] <kex> can anybody please help me with my alsa sound card? :( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45790/
[16:18] <D4rkB34n> hi there, any one can help me w/ubunut 7.10
[16:18] <erUSUL> RPG_: right
[16:18] <kitche> NewUserr: and it sorta did since it copied all over the place the guy didn't have Z drive mapped so it didn't bust out of wine home
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: good morning...   Time for me to go, play nice everyone
[16:19] <erUSUL> RPG_: if you use your own kernel you have to compile your own drivers as well
[16:19] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: good morning ;)
[16:19] <mzanfardino> bulmer: http://rafb.net/p/ZjKjNZ63.html  this is timed with when I started the file transfer (tail of /var/log/message)
[16:19] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Are there any gamers in?
[16:19] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> how about the beginning part, thats more interesting when the firmware gets reloaded rather than the tail end
[16:20] <erUSUL> Monkee_Of_Evil: just a fast ET:quake wars demo from time to time...
[16:20] <RPG_> erUSUL, since then, i've uninstalled the kernel and quit using it because it didn't fix the hardware problem I had, and now i'm back to Ubuntu kernels, and the problem persists
[16:20] <mzanfardino> bulmer: take a look at what I've pasted and you tell me if you need more.  I tried going back before any firmware messages appeared

[16:27] <c0reyf> ubuntu to ubuntu
[16:27] <kitche> kinroad: how are we suppose to know what's wrong with it
[16:27] <lu> helo
[16:28] <jimmacdonald> Linuxeh: yes
[16:28] <jimmacdonald> linxeh: yes
[16:28] <Ashfire908> erUSUL, no clue what you just said. i'm trying to install grub to a jump drive to avoid installing it on the computer. (this is only going to be used temporaryly)
[16:28] <D4rkB34n> i can't open ppt files (microsoft power point) on Impress 2.3.0 it hangs. Any one can help me?
[16:28] <MolePrince> actionsugar: Find the InputDevice section regarding your mouse. Make sure your protocol is "ImPS/2" and that ZAxisMapping is "4 5"
[16:28] <linxeh> jimmacdonald: and did you start all of the nfs services? I take it that the mount failed?
[16:28] <MolePrince> 10 seconds on google found that.
[16:29] <erUSUL> Ashfire908: maybe it is better to use a grub flppy disk? (if the machine still has floppy ;))
[16:29] <jimmacdonald> linxeh: not sure if the processes are started. The mount did fail.
[16:29] <jimmacdonald> linxeh: where would I start them?
[16:29] <Ashfire908> erUSUL, nope no floppy (#%^#% WHY DO THEY NO LONGER PUT FLOPPY DRIVES IN???)
[16:29] <Ashfire908> lol
[16:30] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> if you look at around 34.792000  eth0 and eth1 not ready but yet you are able to use eth1 as your wifi nic?
[16:30] <linxeh> jimmacdonald: whats in /etc/exports ?
[16:30] <actionsugar> Thanks MolePrince. I'll give that a try.
[16:30] <MolePrince> Ashfire908: supergrub boot usb?
[16:30] <use> hey can someone explain this error for me im trying to upgrade from feisty to gutsy Failed to fetch http://lb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[16:30] <linxeh> Ashfire908: because obody uses floppy. use a usb stick or a cd
[16:30] <erUSUL> Ashfire908: or boot with the livecd (it has an option called boot from hard drive)
[16:30] <Ashfire908> linxeh, what do you think i'm going
[16:30] <ghostknife> I just tried to install Tomcat, but it failed saying No JDK found, please set JAVA_HOME. I have javac command, where should I set JAVA_HOME, or what should I install?
[16:31] <erUSUL> !java
[16:31] <sproingie> use: that usually means it failed to download the packages list
[16:31] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[16:31] <cool> i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........."
[16:31] <Ashfire908> erUSUL, which is pointless because it does the same thing as not haveing the cd in the drive in the first place
[16:31] <kitche> use: seems like Packages.gz does not exist but if your trying to upgrade to gutsy then why not use a gutsy repo instead of a feisty one?
[16:31] <jimmacdonald> linxeh: please see the pvt window
[16:31] <mzanfardino> bulmer: that might be a result of 1) eth0 not being connected (that's the wired nic) and 2) eth1 being turned off by default (I haven't set it to autostart yet).
[16:31] <Ashfire908> MolePrince, huh?
[16:31] <D4rkB34n> i can't open ppt files (microsoft power point) on Impress 2.3.0 it hangs. Any one can help me?
[16:31] <ghostknife> erUSUL: but I have javac command, which is a java compiler. Doesn't that mean I have jdk installed
[16:31] <sproingie> use: sometimes you can just try again.  see if you have network, try to wget that url
[16:31] <MolePrince> Ashfire908: Google for it.
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> use: I had problems upgrading from Fiesty to Gutsy
[16:32] <MolePrince> supergrub is a set of boot menus for Grub that add many options
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> I ended up having to replace my sources.list with the default one
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> so if you've used automatix
[16:32] <Ashfire908> MolePrince, i don't need fancy options...
[16:32] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i should have asked first, what interfaces you have and connected to which network? also what kind of pnp or usb plugged devices you have in?
[16:32] <regeya> okay!  when one is using emerald with compiz-fusion, or at least some of us, unresponsive windows (like k9copy running a job) get "ghosted" and nothing will unghost it.  when the system is under a load, whatever window that is in focus is ghosted out for a random period of time.  after searching the forums I have learned that there IS an option somewhere, but the person who posted that they found it also failed to share what it
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> then you should try replacing your sources.list with the sample provided @ ubuntuforums.org
[16:33] <ghostknife> this sucks
[16:33] <regeya> cripes!
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Monkee_Of_Evil: if he has used automatix...  he has more problems than just his source list

[16:35] <sveakex> can anybody please help me with my alsa? :( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45790/

[16:36] <stuart-> uh, there's no volume control up there at my menu nemore, how'd i get it back? i tried re-adding but it doesn't appear
[16:36] <use> Monkee_Of_Evil; thanx:)
[16:36] <Ashfire908> MolePrince, linxeh, erUSUL, lost anything i didn't respond to. the join part flood knocked it out of the buffer
[16:36] <Flare183> regaya:> it's a compiz-fusion bug
[16:36] <cool> i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........."
[16:36] <regeya> ah.  a bug.
[16:36] <mzanfardino> bulmer: you recover from the flood?
[16:36] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> am still here
[16:36] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Jack_Sparrow: I'm cururious to know why so many people have a problem with AutoMatix
[16:36] <regeya> damn.  and I'm rather hooked on various eyecandy as well as avant.
[16:36]  * regeya grumbles and kills compiz dead
[16:37] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i should have asked first, what interfaces you have and connected to which network? also what kind of pnp or usb plugged devices you have in?
[16:37] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Jack_Sparrow: I think overall it does a good job of simplifying the install of a lot of packages
[16:37] <ToddEDM> i need help getting my WI-FI to work on this desktop, would someone be kind and help me?
[16:37] <Flare183> regaya:> there is not shortcut to up the saturation
[16:37] <sproingie> Monkee_Of_Evil: it's technical and political.  technically, it screws with core system files without using the package system, so it hoses future upgrades
[16:37] <ghostknife> Can anyone give me a reason why apt doesn't try to resume failed downloads?
[16:37] <sproingie> Monkee_Of_Evil: politically, it's because the admins of that project carry on like 13 year old tyrants when people come to them with problems
[16:38] <Monkee_Of_Evil> sproingie: Hmm.. Well Justin is still a teenager
[16:38] <sproingie> Monkee_Of_Evil: it's still no excuse
[16:38] <cool> Monkee_Of_Evil, auto mix is known to break installs
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Monkee_Of_Evil: It is EVIL.. what it does can not get undone easilly or reliably.  see the link for full info on how bad it is..

[16:39] <chazco> hi... when i use Nautilius to connect to an FTP server I get a different directory than if i use Firefox... Any ideas? It has a login
[16:39] <cool> LjL-Temp, , whats FloodBot for ?
[16:39] <Sharpie> is there any way to remove the "rotate image" option from the nautilus-image-converter plugin?
[16:39] <sproingie> automatix is totally written off, i'm not sure about EasyUbuntu
[16:39] <ToddEDM> hey guys, i see someon is on my network, is there a way i can send a message to them????? yes i have no wep or wpa
[16:39] <levander> Does the Add/Remove Programs application just give you like an english version of package names, and not the version of the package name that you would use on the command line with apt-get?
[16:39] <LjL> cool: nothing particularly interesting.
[16:40]  * Monkee_Of_Evil reads link from ubot
[16:40] <sproingie> i don't think easyubuntu is officially recommended either because it uses medibuntu which isn't entirely legal everywhere
[16:40] <regeya> wheee
[16:40] <stoneman> hi there, is there any tutorials on the ubuntu forums for a beginners to using the terminal to tar(compress) and untar files?
[16:40] <Kevin`> ToddEDM if it's windows you could try sending a netsend message to them
[16:40] <sproingie> but it otherwise does use the packager i believe
[16:40] <cool> LjL, still
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> sproingie: easyub  was simplified and does not do the horrible things other scripts do.. but really, it still is not needed
[16:40] <regeya> sproingie: for that reason it shouldn't be :->
[16:40] <ToddEDM> kevin, how do i do that >?? its prolly a windows user

[16:41] <jesper> hello, i have a slight problem with ubuntu if someone has time...
[16:41] <levander> stoneman: 'tar xf <filename>' extracts from a tar file - x is for extract

[16:41] <phanto1> I'm having problems with opengl flickering and not displaying fonts correctly.  anyone know how to fix this?
[16:41] <Kevin`> ToddEDM i'm trying to find the program again, I can't remember the name
[16:41] <cool> i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........."  . and anyone please take the pain to help :)
[16:41] <regeya> I don't know.  As long as a tool that installs restricted codecs warns the user first as to WHY it's restricted, I think that should be fine (though ianal)
[16:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !usplash

[16:42] <bulmer> ToddEDM-> you know well that if a use gets on internet and can download stuff or fails because of poor connectivity, they move somewhere else :)
[16:42] <cool> kitche, Jack_Sparrow  done that i installed grub-splashimages :)
[16:42] <Kevin`> ToddEDM smbclient -M can do it
[16:42] <bullgard4> gregarei: My /etc/fstab shows two ext3 partitions. This corresponds to two kjournald processes. But why shows dmesg 5 lines: "kjournal starting. Commit interval..."?
[16:42] <levander> stoneman: 'tar xzf <filename>' extracts from a tarr'd and gzipped file. tar has no compression - it just puts all files in one big tarball.  You gzip the tarball to compress it (make it smaller).
[16:43] <MolePrince> Is there a more efficient method of stopping/restarting services than sudo /etc/init.d/foo bar ?
[16:43] <bullgard4> My /etc/fstab shows two ext3 partitions. This corresponds to two kjournald processes. But why shows dmesg 5 lines: "kjournal starting. Commit interval..."?
[16:43] <levander> stoneman: and, 'tar czf <filename> <files...>' creates the tar file, and compresses it
[16:43] <stoneman> levander ah excellent! hey there should be a stick in the forums for this!
[16:43] <kitche> cool: you still need to tell grub about the splash images
[16:43] <Tm_T> MolePrince: invoke-rc.d foo bar ?
[16:43] <ToddEDM> bulmer: i could just block thier MAC adress but i want to send them some messages first
[16:43] <Tm_T> MolePrince: with sudo perhaps
[16:43] <levander> stoneman: you can't have a stick for everything
[16:43] <MolePrince> Tm_T: Awesome, thanks.
[16:43] <stoneman> levander true
[16:43] <Kevin`> ToddEDM at least, I think that's the same..
[16:43] <warlock_handler> hi guys.. how do i chk my HDD partitions.. from the command line??
[16:43] <Jack_Sparrow> fdisk -l
[16:43] <bulmer> ToddEDM-> have fun with them, frustrate them a little, hehehe
[16:43] <MolePrince> warlock_handler: fdisk -l
[16:44] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
 thnx dude
[16:44] <levander> stoneman: you may benefit from a basic UNIX command line (probably bash shell) tutorial.  I'm sure there are plenty on the internet.  That's where you'd find stuff like tar.
 thnx dude

[16:45] <Pici> otman: You wait for Ubuntu to release their own package.
[16:45] <bullgard4> otman: You cannot. There is no 'gusty gabon'.
[16:46] <levander> Does the Add/Remove application not give you the form of the package name that you would use on the command line, with apt-get?
[16:46] <bulmer> damg_-> but that would be difficult to maintain a route table unless you are running gated or whatever dynamic routing daemon
[16:46] <mzanfardino> bulmer:  your last questions where:  i should have asked first, what interfaces you have and connected to which network? also what kind of pnp or usb plugged devices you have in?  I'm not sure how to answer the first one as I'm not quite sure what you mean (sorry).  As to pnp or usb devices, it's a lappy, so the only devices I have plugged in atm is my usb mouse and no pnp devices at all

[16:54] <levander> stoneman: bzip compresses more than gzip, but not much more.  bzip just isn't as commonly used, and so you can't share the file with other people as easily.  But, for bzip, just use a j instead of a z in tar's command line options.

[16:55] <mzanfardino> bulmer: yes, it's as if the wifi nic simply turns off and the on again.  the transmission is paused while it's off but resumes when the wifi comes back.  this is no doubt a function of TCP (maintaining a stalled connection that is)...

[16:59] <t4m1n0> juano__,  do I really need to install this with souraces ? since I allready have wine on gutsy
[16:59] <mrh_> Jack_Sparrow: startx?

[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mrh_: vesa mode to get back if you have troubel
[17:01] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> thats odd, thats where the kernel tells you that the driver for your wifi is loaded

[17:01] <ArthurArchnix> Jack_Sparrow:  I did an apt-cache search for lame and installed all the non dev/doc stuff.

[17:02] <juano__> t4m1n0: works here for me
[17:02] <mzanfardino> bulmer: hmm... well, it's a pretty standard install.  I used the Kubuntu Alternate CD in order to install lvm and encrypt my drive, but beyond that I haven't done anything special (at least not insofar as the wifi is concerned)
[17:02] <bulmer> anyone else running a wireless connectivity, can you kindly verify  /proc/driver  is where your wifi driver settings are located?

[17:25] <Jock1> I disabled the restricted driver for my graphics card, but now the screen is a mess, like a noncompatible driver is used instead. I've now started Ubuntu in recovery mode, but how can I reconfigure my graphics driver from here? (I think the generic vesa driver would work)

[17:26] <bazhang> Duxter: you want greek language support for open office? and you have a greek keyboard--should be no problem--just install the appropriate language pack
[17:26] <Duxter> there isnt anyway to do it?

[17:30] <stefg> jacob: good luck in finding someone to read the man page to you :-)
[17:30] <jacob> stefg ok
[17:31] <noober> i nead help with KNOPPIX... anybody can help????
[17:31] <Flare183> np
[17:31] <bazhang> Duxter: can you see the language region settings in the gnome menu?
[17:31] <matttis> noober: whats the problem ?
[17:32] <Duxter> no
[17:32] <stefg> jacob: http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/grep.html
[17:32] <noober> I boot but the screen is blank it does not support the resolution or refresh
[17:32] <noober> so i dont see anything
[17:32] <mediahunter> flare you still here
[17:32] <noober> after loading

[17:34] <matttis> noober: try that one
[17:34] <Duxter> i dont see it can i do sth with apt-get or synaptic?
[17:34] <chrisg> hm
[17:34] <chrisg> does anyone else think it's a bit odd to specifically allow root login in the ubuntu openssh-server dist config
[17:35] <whereswaldo> hey, none of my windows have borders so I cant move them or anything, what´s going on?
[17:35] <chrisg> afaik it's normally something that's disabled, for good reason
[17:35] <bazhang> Duxter: open up synaptic and search for greek, and check the ones you want installed
[17:35] <robertj> chrisg: its fine
[17:35] <levander> whereswaldo: did you remove the borders somehow?
[17:35] <robertj> chrisg: if someone enables root then they probably would like to use it
[17:35] <Duxter> ok
[17:35] <bazhang> Duxter: they will likely be related to openoffice, though you could also turn your own system into a greek system afaik
[17:35] <Duxter> thank u
[17:35] <mediahunter> flare it has been a while since i have installed from a tar file
[17:35] <bazhang> no problem
[17:35] <mediahunter> what are the cmd again
[17:36] <chrisg> surley logging in as a normal user and using sudo is much better ...
[17:36] <`RiffRaff> does anyone know if the issues around nVidia drivers and Gutsy have been resolved?
[17:36] <chrisg> it's generally accepted as bad practice to PermitRootLogin
[17:36] <noober> mattis: I dont know I was booting from a cd.... is there a vga or someother mode?
[17:36] <Flare183> mediahunter:> to extract a tar file?
[17:36] <bulmer> mediahunter-> you tar -xvzf tarfile.gz
[17:36] <Duxter> how can i do that?
[17:36] <Flare183> exactly
[17:36] <stefg> chrisg: by default there is no root account in ubuntu, so any login attempts (over ssh or on the console) will fail anyway
[17:36] <mediahunter> ok
[17:36] <bulmer> mediahunter-> then you read the README file
[17:36] <mediahunter> thanks
[17:36] <levander> `RiffRaff: there will always be issues with the nvidia driver and any Linux. Is there a specific issue you have with it?
[17:36] <chrisg> you mean there's no password?
[17:36] <chrisg> the root user always exists
[17:36] <`RiffRaff> freezing
[17:37] <chrisg> or the password is locked
[17:37] <chrisg> rather
[17:37] <levander> `RiffRaff: nvidia doesn't put enough effort into that driver for it to ever be bug-free
[17:37] <`RiffRaff> have tried all the "fixes" and nothing works
[17:37] <stefg> chrisg: ok, technically there's no password, so login is disabled
[17:37] <vasuvi_> noober: yeah, one of the commands lets you force X to use VESA instead of the default nv/ati drivers
[17:37] <chrisg> :), i just think it's a bit odd to allow root user logins via sshd
[17:37] <`RiffRaff> so its either get a new card or go back to fiesty
[17:37] <chrisg> granted openssh-server isn't installed as standard
[17:38] <whereswaldo> levander: I dont think so, at least not to my knowledge
[17:38] <chrisg> or it wasn't in the -alternative disti installed from. but it still seems non standard to permitroot :)
[17:38] <bazhang> Duxter: when you want to get someone's attention--best to use their nickname in your reply :}
[17:38] <stefg> chrisg: THINK....  no root password, no login....
[17:38] <bruenig> !prefix
[17:38] <ubotu> If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[17:38] <noober> vasuvi_: how do I do that?
[17:38] <levander> whereswaldo: did you change your theme recently?  you're not using TV out are you, it's just a regular monitor right?
[17:38] <bulmer> who is running ldap and using it as a single sign-on authentication for a centrally manage network of computers? how do you tell linux now you will be using ldap instead of passwd or shadow?
[17:38] <chrisg> but some of us change the password and unlock the root user
[17:38] <bazhang> thanks bruenig :}
[17:39] <levander> chrisg: why do you unlock the root user?
[17:39] <Duxter> bazhang ok ;) how can i do that u suggested?
[17:39] <stefg> chrisg: being smart/dumb enough to that means taking responsibility for a root sshd tehn
[17:39] <chrisg> i don't know, habit logging into consoles as root, and ssh as unpriv'd users
[17:39] <bruenig> levander, the root user is needed for some applications
[17:39] <whereswaldo> levander: no I didnt, and no it´s not TV out. I just changed some config stuff because I couldnt change my res, so now that´s fixed
[17:40] <chrisg> bruenig: yeah but technically i could ``sudo su -`` as the user i created at install
[17:40] <levander> whereswaldo: what config stuff?
[17:40] <bazhang> Duxter: open up the synaptic package manager and then in the search field type greek
[17:40] <bruenig> chrisg, not for slim
[17:40] <bruenig> chrisg, I mean you may not technically need it for your setup, but it still is needed for some things
[17:40] <chrisg> slim =?
[17:40] <vasuvi_> noober: I don't remember offhand; when you are on the boot screen, hit F2, F3, F4, etc...; that will give you the list of options
[17:40] <bruenig> chrisg, Simple Log In Manager
[17:40] <levander> whereswaldo: have you tried restarting X since your window borders went away?
[17:40] <`RiffRaff> ok then does anyone have the link to hardware compatibility?
[17:41] <bulmer> bruenig-> does single user mode require root password? i forgot
[17:41] <levander> bulmer: no
[17:41] <vasuvi_> noober: (I *think* it's something like xmodule=vesa, or there might be an option called "safe graphics mode" or something like that)
[17:41] <Duxter> bazhang: thank you very much
[17:41] <bulmer> okay
[17:41] <bruenig> bulmer, single user mode just puts you in a root console from init
[17:41] <noober> vasuvi_: thnax ill try that...
[17:41] <bazhang> Duxter: you all set now?
[17:41] <whereswaldo> levander: I´ll try that right now, and I reconfigured X
[17:41] <chrisg> yeah linux S doesn't ask for a password, i think it's stuff like solaris that does that
[17:41] <vasuvi_> noober: good luck!
[17:41] <Duxter> bazhang:  ill go try and post back
[17:42] <levander> whereswaldo: you may have just messed up your video mode configuring it while it was running, restarting may "reset" the video mode.  If that doesn't work, reconfigure X again.
[17:42] <RoC_MasterMind> Found it, to make telnetd not show your last login information, comment out "session    optional   pam_lastlog.so" in /etc/pam.d/login
[17:42] <mike22> hey. im having trouble logging in. i just did a fresh install. i think this might be because i mounted a separate partition to /home. anyways, heres the exact problem im having: http://pastebin.com/m5c185e70
[17:43] <`RiffRaff> ok thanks
[17:43] <sjovan> some one here that can help me with ssh tunneling?
[17:43] <sproingie> is there a way to change the sudo timeout without recompiling?
[17:43] <Jessid> hello. does anybody could help me to make the usb ports of my laptop work under ubuntu 7.10? they used to work in ubuntu 7.04....and i have not changed any hardware configuration...the usb ports only work if i have connected the devices from the begini, when i turn on the laptop...thanks
[17:43] <stefg> mike22: your /etc/fstab seems broken, the path /home/mike seems not to be there
[17:44] <levander> mike22: copy your old /home/mike to the new /home
[17:44] <levander> mike22: then, relogin
[17:44]  * SatManUK i would like to apologise if i appeared annoyed earlier the problem was not grub it was windows..
[17:44] <bulmer> Jessid-> it does not work when you plugged in usb devices after the reboot?
[17:44] <stefg> as usual
[17:46] <Jessid> bulmer devices work only if i have them plugged in at me boot time, after that i can not connect any thing in the usb ports because they dont work, for example a usb mouse or a usb external hd
[17:46] <bulmer> Jessid-> did you wait long enuff, sometimes usb devices takes a while to wake up.
[17:46] <Jessid> bulmer and it does not have a lot of sense to restart the computer every time i want to usb a usb memory...
[17:46] <kitche> I find irssi now so boring sicne I got my multitail setup correctly so ii can be used like I want it :(

[17:47] <IanLiu> What command should I run to find a file in a directory tree? If I `find foo', it will search only in current dir, right?
[17:47] <MolePrince> IanLiu: try locate or find ./\
[17:47] <MolePrince> -\
[17:47] <bulmer> Jessid-> after a system rebooted, did you monitor /var/log/messages once you plug in a usb devices, does it show detection?
[17:48] <stefg> Jessid: does 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart'  make the devices appear (when you plug them in after boot) ?
[17:48] <dfcarney> IanLiu: find . -name "foo"
[17:48] <IanLiu> ty, I will try
[17:48] <dfcarney> IanLiu: type "man find" for the manual

[17:48] <Jessid> bulmer give me a moment i check

[17:50] <ghost_> Anyone know where i can see the Kim Kardashian video?
[17:50] <rsk> :>
[17:50] <Jessid> bulmer nothing is shown when i plug or unplug the device
[17:51] <stefg> Jessid: boot normally, then plug your devices in, run 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart'  in a terminal and check if your devices are there then
[17:51] <rsk> ghost_: on the internet
[17:51] <mike22> levander, i have a partition. that contains one parent directory called 'mike'.. and i always mount that partition to /home during install.. so im not sure what im supposed to do now.
[17:51] <Jessid> stefg ah ok...yes they are shown when i do that
[17:51] <sol> bulmer, sorry my english=)
[17:51] <bulmer> Jessid-> also rerun dmesg after you plugged in the device..if it detected it, it is added at the end
[17:51] <stefg> Jessid: so we know that hal is to blame ....
[17:51] <mike22> levander, maybe the problem is that partition isnt getting mounted for some reason? i dunno
[17:53] <stefg> Jessid: what does 'uname -r' turn up ?
[17:53] <Jessid> stefg:  2.6.22-14-generic
[17:54] <Jessid> bulmer man i dont know what you are talking about
[17:54] <sol> hehe, my internet goes through router, becouse  i can not see it real ip through ifconfig=)
[17:54] <stefg> Jessid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/25931
[17:54] <sammyF_> can I create a user who can't connect to internet, nor do anything but write and read stuff to its home and stdin/stdout?
[17:54] <Jessid> stefg let me check...
[17:54] <sol> how me know real ip
[17:54] <bulmer> Jessid-> on a terminal type dmesg  the most recent detected usb devices should be listed at the end
[17:55] <ThugLife> .

[17:56] <dfcarney> IanLiu: you want to delete a list of files?
[17:56] <IanLiu> yeap
[17:56] <IanLiu> oh
[17:56] <ThugLife> hi RootMe
[17:56] <IanLiu> I can do it directly
[17:56] <Jessid> bulmer i have found some lines with usb word...do you want me to send you any? i mean, do you have to see what the result is?
[17:56] <dfcarney> IanLiu: something like: find . -name "foo" | xargs rm
[17:56] <stefg> mediahunter: http://www.easyvmx.com/index.shtml
[17:57] <dfcarney> IanLiu: be careful with that command
[17:57] <Dziustino> Hello, I got intel core 2 duo 7400 processor, it's better for me to  install 32bit or 64bit ubuntu?
[17:57] <Dziustino> laptop*
[17:57] <bulmer> Jessid-> no you dont need to send me, am just saying if it is detected, it should show up via the command dmesg
[17:57] <stefg> Dziustino: stick with 32bit
[17:57] <IanLiu> yeah, I will
[17:57] <Dziustino> reasons?
[17:57] <dfcarney> IanLiu: "xargs" takes the output of one command and uses it as arguments past the pipe

[17:58] <Cyberai> I'm having an interesting problem. I have a SanDisk m230 mp3 player. I used to be able to mount it with "mount /dev/sda1 /media/<mount point>". This just stopped working today. I haven't made any system updates. fdisk accurately shows the device on /dev/sda1. But mount says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock" etc.
[17:58] <stefg> Dziustino: convinience.... flash, codecs, wine ... some stuff isn't available for 64bit, and the speed gain on an average desktop by using 64 bit is marginal
[17:58] <MolePrince> IanLiu: Try sommat like rm $(find . -name "foo")
[17:58] <Cyberai> Can anyone help?
[17:58] <IanLiu> I can do 'rm -r *.jpg', cant I?
[17:59] <MolePrince> IanLiu: Absolutely
[17:59] <Dziustino> ok, thank you
[17:59] <krim> Dziustino: Read the 64-bit section in the Ubuntu forums and see if the problems apply to you. I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit with no problems but then I don't use the software that can be problematic with it, might be different for you.
[17:59] <IanLiu> hmm, thats simpler =)
[17:59] <dfcarney> IanLiu: yup.  the nice thing about xargs is that it lets you pipe things together
[17:59] <bulmer> Cyberai->can you play the mp3 still without it being plugged in toyour puter?
[18:00] <Cyberai> bulmer, can't tell, no music on it
[18:00] <bulmer> Cyberai-> possibly it gone bad?
[18:00] <Jock2> In Evolution, how can I mark all messages as read without right-clicking every top folder?
[18:00] <Cyberai> bulmer, possible
[18:01] <bulmer> Cyberai-> i have purchased one of those china cheap ones, lasted for about a month..
[18:01] <IanLiu> dfcarney: true. I never understood very well these arguments concats.. Sometimes I only see COMMAND `another command', sometimes with pipe, and so on
[18:01] <Cyberai> bulmer, had this one about 2 years, worked great til noqw
[18:01] <Cyberai> bulmer, had this one about 2 years, worked great til now
[18:01] <flow> hello
[18:02] <flow> I'd like some help with my sound issue .. aoss teamspeak
[18:02] <flow> it used to work, but I seem to have changed a setting
[18:02] <bulmer> Cyberai-> dont forget, flash memory like the ones used on usb drives dont last forever...
[18:02] <flow> and can't find what I need to revert back to
[18:02] <dfcarney> IanLiu: hehe, well if you're going to get into command-line stuff i *highly* recommend that you read up on the pipe operator.  *nix is based around it
[18:02] <Cyberai> bulmer, true dat
[18:02] <mediahunter> i have qemu how do i creat a vmx in it to play back in vmware player
[18:03] <IanLiu> dfcarney: I will ;)
[18:03] <wimdows> hi all, any command line util that will list all my HDD devices?
[18:03] <mynyml> it seems that anything i play in mplayer has its audio desynchronized .. is there a way to reset it?
[18:03] <bulmer> Cyberai-> how to recover? i have not done it on my mp3 player yet..but i assume gparted will recognize it then you can format it, but to get back the mp3 playing capabilities...ummm that would be tuff
[18:03] <Cyberai> wimdows, "df -h"
[18:03] <stefg> wimdows: sudo fdsik -l
[18:03] <sammyF_> wimdows: ; try df
[18:03] <ymorin> hi, what means erro$ in /etc/fstab, I don't seem to find it inside standard man page of fstab...
[18:03] <wimdows> thanks!
[18:03] <Tomcat_> mynyml: move the ~/.mplayer dir somewhere else.
[18:04] <warlock_handler> guys if i get a I/O Buffer error in my /dev/hda3 what does that mean
[18:04] <warlock_handler> and can i fix this??
[18:04] <stefg> warlock_handler: a problem !
 what problem??
[18:04] <stefg> warlock_handler: how old is that drive ?
[18:04] <bulmer> warlock_handler-> does it happen often enuff or only once in a while?
[18:05] <mynyml> Tomcat_: ?
 one in a while
[18:05] <Tomcat_> mynyml: If you move the ~/.mplayer directory, all mplayer settings get reset.
 about 4 to 5 yrs old
[18:05] <newguys2> hi, where is python located?
[18:05] <Tomcat_> newguys2: "locate python" :)
[18:05] <flow> newguys2: locate python
[18:05] <flow> :)
[18:05] <wimdows> hmm - is it normal that my just connected PATA drive doesn't show up using df?
[18:05] <Tomcat_> newguys2: /usr/bin/python usually.
[18:06] <knoppix> :)
[18:06] <wimdows> Main drive is SATA
[18:06] <Drule> So hey
[18:06] <Drule> what do I need to do in order to set up a wired network between my Vista comp and Ubuntu?
[18:06] <Drule> Do I need an application for Vista?
[18:06] <Drule> Ubuntu is currently searching for a network connection or something
[18:06] <stefg> warlock_handler: i'd runn badblocks and install smartmon-tools to check if your drive is ok. This can be the signs of a slowly beginning death
[18:06] <flow> any help on my aoss issue would be appreciated
[18:07] <popdog123> !NTFS
[18:07] <Cyberai> Drule, how does your Vista system connect to your wireless?
[18:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
 i should install a smartmon-tools ??
[18:07] <mynyml> Tomcat_: ohh. thats a good idea. then i guess i could just dpkg -P and reinstall
[18:07] <Drule> I'm not trying to set up a wireless LAN
[18:07] <stefg> warlock_handler: yes, to be able to read the smart messages from your disk
[18:07] <kakoonia> hey all
[18:08] <Cyberai> Drule, are you trying to get your ubuntu system connected to your AP or doa peer-to-peer between the ubuntu and vista systems?
 cool will do that right a way
[18:08] <Drule> Cyberai what does AP and doa mean
 is there any way to avoid using the bad sectors in the HDD
[18:08] <Drule> I am pretty new to Ubuntu and its terminology.
[18:08] <kakoonia> how do i set a scanner?
[18:08] <Tomcat_> Drule: Access Point
[18:09] <Drule> I see.
[18:09] <Cyberai> Drule, AP = wireless access point, doa = "do a" typod
[18:09] <Drule> p2p
[18:09] <Drule> I'm just trying to connect the two via a network cable.
[18:09] <stefg> warlock_handler: badblocks will give you sector numbers, and you can use the relating filesystem tool (tune2fs, reiserfstune or whatever) to mark them as unusable
 it says cant find smartmon-tools... why this error?
[18:09] <kakoonia> ive got a canon PIXMA MP170 (printer+scanner) how do i configure/install the scanner ?
[18:09] <WorkingOnWise> is there a way to link into a pdf. I want to make an OO document with links to specific locations in a pdf. Any ideas?
[18:10] <Cyberai> Drule, wireless or cabled? You're not being particularly clear?
[18:10] <flow> cabled I read
[18:10] <Drule> Well that's what I meant by wired
[18:10] <flow> Drule: IP-addresses all set ... have you got a DHCP running?
[18:10] <Drule> cabled yes
[18:10] <rawb> if I install a program from gutsy-proposed and it then gets moved to gutsy-updates two weeks later, will my system be able to figure out the package moved when a new version comes out and I do an 'aptitude update'? or will I have to tell it it moved?
[18:10] <Drule> I am wondering if I will need any additional applications for any of the systems
[18:10] <Drule> for starters!
[18:10] <Cyberai> Drule, no
[18:11] <stefg> !info smartmontools | warlock_handler
[18:11] <Drule> Swell.
[18:11] <ubotu> warlock_handler: smartmontools: control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 5.37-5ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 280 kB, installed size 684 kB
[18:11] <stefg> warlock_handler: so its without '-'
[18:11] <Drule> Okay well it found an unidentified network I think.
[18:11] <Drule> So I don't know, flow
 yup googled it.. and got it... thnx dude
[18:11] <ToddEDM> hey guys im back... im still looking for something to mess with this goof who is connected to my LAN
[18:12] <Cyberai> Drule, set your vista system to a static IP of something like <IP_ADDRESS>, and the ubuntu to <IP_ADDRESS>. Then share a folder on the vista system. With any luck it should pop up after a couple minutes in the network folder of the ubuntu system
[18:12] <SmashCat> Hi, I'm on a server running  dapper, it's got pureftpd installed which doesn't appear to allow directory aliases (though the docs claim it does for some reason). Is there a good alternative that supports users going outside the home directory?
 will now install reiserfstune
[18:12] <flow> my call to "aoss teamspeak" no longer gives a microphone ... I've been battling with some sound-capturing recently ... whatever I toggled I can't remember, help me fix this please :)
[18:12] <ReK_> my gutsy refuses to boot now, it hangs after execing /etc/rc.local, yet the only thing in that file is the default 'exit 0'...
[18:12] <Cyberai> ToddEDM, someone is connected to your WAP?
[18:12] <ToddEDM> yes
[18:12] <Drule> Alright Cyberai, I'll give that a try. Thanks.
[18:12] <bulmer> ToddEDM-> it looks like you're the one that got frustrated and not those leachers..hehehe
[18:13] <ToddEDM> im not frustrated
[18:13] <Cyberai> ToddEDM, first think you should do is scan him using NMAP -P0
[18:13] <ToddEDM> what is nmap -po
[18:13] <mus_dur> türkçe bilen varmı
[18:13] <MolePrince> ToddEDM: Or just enable WEP/WPA :P  Or at least a MAC whitelist.
[18:13] <ReK_> my gutsy refuses to boot now, it hangs after execing /etc/rc.local, yet the only thing in that file is the default 'exit 0'...
[18:14] <Cyberai> ToddEDM, it will show you every open port on his PC, and with any luck what OS he is using
[18:14] <ToddEDM> MolePrince:  i will later
[18:14]  * flow only comes in here when RTFM hasn't helped in hours ... always get's ignored ... but it gives him new energy to RTFM
[18:14] <flow> so long .. thanks for nothing (yet again)
[18:14] <warlock_handler> ok guys i am out of here... will catch you guys later... peace
[18:15] <ReK_> my gutsy refuses to boot now, it hangs after execing /etc/rc.local, yet the only thing in that file is the default 'exit 0'...
[18:15] <bulmer> flow come again for more..hehe
[18:15] <SmashCat> ReK_: Yes, so you said.
[18:15] <ReK_> yes, yes i did

[18:22] <xzased> hiya all
[18:22] <dfcarney> Drule: what do you mean?  you want your Ubuntu box to show up in VIsta's list of computers?
[18:22] <xzased> I need some help capturing video in ubuntu
[18:22] <dfcarney> Drule: you'll need to set up Samba
[18:22] <ReK_> bulmer: i dont, but with all my laptops i had to get some acpi project working to change them
[18:22] <Ax-Ax> Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output :(
[18:22] <xzased> is there any hardware that works with linux?
[18:22] <dfcarney> Drule: pretty straight forward, just make sure that the PCs are in the same workgroup
[18:23] <ReK_> Can someone help me with my gutsy, it isnt booting anymore, it simply stops the boot process after running /etc/rc.local, yet all that file contains is the default 'exit 0'....
[18:24] <xzased> I mean< video capture hardware
[18:24] <bulmer> ReK_-> i dont follow you, is acpi one of the very first scripts run in the levels 2-5?
[18:24] <foug> I try installing samba-common and it tells me I allready have it. How do I open it to set it up and configure it? I'm trying to put a hard drive on the network
[18:24] <Drule> dfcarney
[18:24] <Drule> and bulmer
[18:24] <ymorin> ok, I found what erro$ means.. the user is incapable doing copy/paste....
[18:24] <Drule> I pretty much want my Ubuntu comp to appear in the Vista network location list
[18:25] <Keyseir> Is there an open source program that reads text / converts it to audio?
[18:25] <Drule> I can't share this folder if I don't give it access first
[18:25] <dfcarney> Drule: yeah, so Samba is the way to go.  i'm sure there are ubuntuforum pages about it

[18:25] <Drule> Do I have to use Samba?
[18:26] <arash_> Hi, I would like yo be automatically logged in when i start my computer, is that possible with Ubuntu? I know I could with Kubuntu
[18:26] <bulmer> Drule-> you have to have the ubuntu side running samba so it will appear in the windows side
[18:26] <Drule> Well this is going to be tricky
[18:26] <bulmer> ReK_-> is this a new install? has it run before?
[18:26] <Drule> my Ubuntu comp doesn't have an internet connection anymore
[18:26] <Drule> is samba the only way to go?
[18:26] <Ax-Ax> Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output :(
[18:26] <dfcarney> Drule: yup.
[18:26] <bulmer> Drule-> why it lost the internet connectivity?
[18:27] <dfcarney> Drule: at least, as far as I know.
[18:27] <ubuntu> hi there
[18:27] <Drule> I switched to mobile internet
[18:27] <Drule> but it's not linux compatible
[18:27] <ReK_> bulmer: yeah, just installed. ran once after taking out the livecd. i changed the settings to use my 2nd monitor and rebooted, then this happened
[18:27] <Drule> Also alright.
[18:27] <Drule> Thanks.
[18:27] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: What kind of mobile internet?
[18:27] <Drule> What kinds are there
[18:28] <bulmer> ReK_-> i dont know what settings you changed, you may as well re-install to get a fresh start
[18:28] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: I was thinking of the cell phone type
[18:28] <ubuntu> I encounte problems by using grub with raid something but I do not succeed to find what ? any helps ?
[18:28] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: EVDO
[18:28] <Drule> It has a modem.
[18:28] <bulmer> Drule there is the pay type and the once you leached for free..lol
[18:28] <Drule> that accesses the 3G net
[18:28] <ReK_> bulmer: whats the path to xorg.conf, i might be able to use vim to reset it to single monitor
[18:28] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: I see.
[18:28] <Noble> I'm trying to do a raid installation using the alternative cd, expert mode... it always fails on 'select and install' on a gstreamer package... says the hash is bad... other than reburning the cd, is there any way I can manually exclude that package or force it to download it during install?
[18:28] <bulmer> ReK_-> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:28] <Drule> Ya I have the free kind too bulmer ;-)
[18:29] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: Do you have any info on the card
[18:29] <ReK_> thanks
[18:29] <jerbear> how do i set the windows key to be a key modifier?
[18:29] <Drule> Well, it is possible to set up with Linux according to some pages I've read
[18:29] <Drule> but apparently it's a huge hassle
[18:29] <DigitalNinja_> Oh
[18:29] <Drule> and I'll probably have to download stuff
[18:29] <Drule> basically you have to install the usb device manually or something
[18:29] <Drule> and recompile the kernel
[18:29] <Drule> I don't know. I'm new to Linux, so I didn't understand all of it.
[18:30] <neilmorrow> hi all
[18:30] <dfcarney> Drule: for new drivers, recompiling the kernel is typical.  it's not that bad, once you get used to it.  best to have someone guide you through the steps however (first time i did it, about a decade ago, i totally screwed up my system)
[18:30] <blubloblu> how do I get mediawiki to appear in /var/www?

[18:30] <ubuntu> what should I answer from livecd
[18:31] <Drule> well
[18:31] <ubuntu> thanx
[18:31] <Drule> just installing a new kernel seems to have screwed up my system
[18:31] <Drule> so
[18:31] <Drule> I think I'll pass on that for now :-)
[18:31] <dfcarney> Drule: you *may* be able to get away with just recompiling the driver, if the source files are available and properly referenced against the kernel headers
[18:31] <Drule> idk that's probably overkill for me
[18:31] <Drule> but good to know at least.
[18:32] <foug> I try installing samba-common and it tells me I allready have it. How do I open it to set it up and configure it? I'm trying to put a hard drive on the network

[18:33] <dfcarney> blubloblu: i haven't installed mediawiki, but isn't it just a collection of PHP scripts running on an Apache server?

[18:36] <boulba> how to set a wallpaper with fluxbox ?
[18:36] <dfcarney> foug: you'll need to install a samba server and configure a share that points to the disk's mount-point
[18:36] <eth01> when you do apt-get install mediawiki (or whatever it is) it doesn't go directly into /var/www .. i think its in /etc/ or usr/share
[18:36] <dfcarney> foug: basically, you'll need to do a bit of reading on samba :)

[18:36] <Ax-Ax> Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output. Any fix?
[18:36] <flow> to be explicit: I /think/ it's the uncommented "capture.pcm: dsnoop" line inside the pcm.duplex settings
[18:36] <foug> dfcarney: reading isn't too hard, getting use to it i suppose

[18:36] <boulba> how to set a wallpaper with fluxbox ?
[18:36] <dfcarney> foug: haha.  welcome to linux.
[18:37] <foug> dfcarney: ya it shouldn't be too hard, will it be able to connect through wi-fi?
[18:37] <haffouff> need help please
[18:37] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> Where do you download ubuntu live?
[18:37] <foug> dfcarney: ha ya right on, been using ubuntu since 7.04 came out, not too long but i'm still a noob i'd say
[18:37] <dfcarney> foug: if both computers are on the same network, then sure.
[18:37] <flow> so, enjoy your ubuntu everyone ... damn, I REALLY need to fall back to a GOOD distro, like pure debian, much nicer community!
[18:37] <foug> dfcarney: they will be, awesome
[18:37] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: www.ubuntu.com
[18:37] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> Theres different download links
[18:38] <dfcarney> foug: it's just information.  the fact that you're using wired connections or wireless connections doesn't matter from samba's point of view -- all it knows is that there's a network
[18:38] <AngelsOfDestiny> Has anyone used Moto4lin before?
[18:38] <foug> dfcarney: awesome, i like that
[18:38] <foug> dfcarney: does NFS work the same way?
[18:38] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: the downloads are the live cd
[18:38] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: and the installation disk
[18:38] <Ax-Ax> Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output. Any fix?
[18:38] <dfcarney> foug: it had better :)
[18:39] <infinitycircuit> Ax-Ax, if commands work what if you type reset
[18:39] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdiq: When I downloaded the .iso it wouldnt boot and I didnt see any files  Icould load
[18:39] <foug> dfcarney: well i know it doesn't connect to windows pc, that's why i'm having to use Samba
[18:39] <jacob> who in here has bmp?
[18:39] <Ax-Ax> infinitycircuit, nothing
[18:39] <dfcarney> foug: oh, i see what you're saying.  not sure about NFS, having made only light use of it.  i think that you need to flip a switch in windows to enable an NFS server or something
[18:40] <dfcarney> !nfs
[18:40] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[18:40] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: did you burn it as an iso file? You need an add on to windows to do that...give me a few and i'll let you know what i used
[18:40] <jacob> i'm having difficulties making some mp3 visible in the program from a folder
[18:40] <infinitycircuit> Ax-Ax, when you boot, do you see the framebuffer splash screen, or do you get a blank screen then as well?
[18:40] <jacob> it only imported 2 songs
[18:40] <haffouff> my load_cycle_count is at 148372
[18:40] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdiq: no I my cd burner like extracts it for me
[18:40] <haffouff> and it's not stopping growing :(
[18:40] <haffouff> need help please
[18:40] <foug> dfcarney: i see, thanks for the help
[18:41] <slavik> any idea why a user would not be allowed to create a session?
[18:41] <Ax-Ax> infinitycircuit, usplash works
[18:41] <dfcarney> foug: no problem...and good luck.
[18:42] <bulmer> slavik is it a valid user? has correct permissions?
[18:42] <Noble> I'm trying to do a raid installation using the alternative cd, expert mode... it always fails on 'select and install' on a gstreamer package... says the hash is bad... other than reburning the cd, is there any way I can manually exclude that package or force it to download it during install?

[18:43] <slavik> bulmer: it is me (I want to open a second xsession) and what permissions should there be?
[18:43] <Noble> arash_: yes, its possible
[18:43] <blubloblu> :( anyone?
[18:43] <arash_> Noble: how ?
[18:43] <Noble> arash_: can't remember how, i'm at work at the moment
[18:44] <arash_> Noble: ok thanks, but its possible from the GUI right?
[18:44] <Noble> arash_: but its an option under administration somewhere
[18:44] <dfcarney> blubloblu: have you seen this? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu_GNU/Linux
[18:44] <Noble> arash_: yep, you can do it with a few clicks from the gui

[18:44] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin:  i used iso recorder from isorecorder.alexfeinman.com. when you boot, you may need to tell your bios to boot from the cd-rom
[18:44] <slavik> bulmer: I've been trying to figure out how to launch an xsession for just one app (a game)
[18:44] <trekkme>  hi i got a ubuntu 7.10 as host and a winxpprof as guest, installed vmwaretools and spezified and activated a shared folder in host system, but cannot connect to the shared folder via guest, guest and host are pingable from both sides...

[18:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:45] <bulmer> slavik-> right now are you using like gnome or kde?
[18:45] <slavik> gnome, of course :P
[18:45] <slavik> bulmer: just tell me where to go :)
[18:45] <slavik> hmm, that came out wrong ...
[18:45] <dfcarney> Has anyone noticed a considerable performance hit after upgrading to Gusty?  In particular, Firefox now runs about 10x slower for me...  Any ideas?
[18:46] <slavik> dfcarney: how is firefox slower?
[18:46] <bulmer> slavik, i cant i dont have my Xwindows notes here with me to reference..sorry
[18:46] <bulmer> i have to google
[18:46] <dfcarney> slavik: lag and response time.  in particular, pages heavy on javascript take *forever* to respond
[18:46] <kitche> dfcarney: probably due to that it's using gcj instead of java
[18:46] <infinitycircuit> dfcarney, try turning off ipv6 and use noscript to selectively stop javacript
[18:47] <slavik> bulmer: damn it :( ... I remember someone had code somewhere where it would start a session with just wine running WoW ... that is essentially what I want to do ...
[18:47] <gerg> hi all
[18:47] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdiq: so I go into my bios and tell it too boot from cd?
[18:47] <toresn> can anyone help me with mplayer... to make it run i have to do it with -vo x11 (but no fullscreen then).. i'm running an external monitor connected to my laptop whose monitor is disabled... the video card is a ati mobility radeon 9700
[18:47] <toresn> here's my xorg.conf:
[18:47] <dfcarney> infinitycircuit: how do i disable ipv6?
[18:47] <toresn> http://pastebin.com/d1bd11593
[18:47] <juano__> dfcarney: ipv6 probably
[18:47] <gerg> how do I troubleshoot a wireless connection that was setup improperly?
[18:47] <dfcarney> !ipv6 | dfcarney
[18:47] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: yup
[18:47] <kitche> slavik: umm that's not hard let me write the code right out for you
[18:48] <juano__> dfcarney: a fast solution only for firefox is to type in url about:config , search for ipv6 and turn the variable to false
[18:48] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: if that doesnt work could you think of anything else that could be the problem?
[18:48] <Noble> what "more options" can i pass during install?
[18:48] <juano__> dfcarney: but if you never use ipv6 for nothing, just turn it off globally
[18:48] <slavik> I've went through google and forums and couldn't find it (even though it is simple)
[18:48] <dfcarney> juano__: hehe -- i just did.  need to restart, apparently
[18:49] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: did you check the md5 checksum of the downloaded file to what is on the website? if the download got messed up, you may encounter other problems
[18:49] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> md5 checksum?
[18:49] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> I feel stupid now
[18:50] <kitche> slavik: http://pastebin.ca/797060 is one way to do it or you could make a file so you can login though gdm each time
[18:50] <MasterShrek> slavik, use a minimal window manager like fluxbox or blackbox and have the window manager run a startup script that will start wow, then when u login from gdm pick that window manager
[18:50] <juano__> dfcarney: yep, if it doesnt work probably you need to run gksudo firefox, (set the variable to false with sudo permissions) close it, and then continue using it normally
[18:50] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: aw, don't do that, its just an opportunity to learn, we all have to do that every day. keep going, and if you have other questions, just ask
[18:50] <Guest16155> hello, i got today new computer and i want to clone my ubuntu from the old computer to the new, what is the best way to clone hdd on ubuntu system ?
[18:50] <slavik> here's another thing, I don't want to login from gdm
[18:51] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, dd
[18:51] <Juan> how can i watch asx video streams?
[18:51] <MasterShrek> dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1  (for example hard drive device names)
[18:51] <slavik> I am already logged in through gdm to my regular environment, and I just want to have a script that starts an xsession with wine/doom3/ut2k4/ut3 in it and such
[18:51] <levander> Juan: http://pastebin.com/m5c185e70
[18:51] <juano__> Juan: installed ubuntu-restricted-formats ?
[18:52] <Juan> yeah, i have everything
[18:52] <levander> juano__: wrong place, hold on
[18:52] <MasterShrek> Juan, medibuntu too?
[18:52] <Juan> everything
[18:52] <Juan> w32 and stuff
[18:52] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: ok first what is md5checksum
[18:52] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: can i make this command from the ubuntu ? or i must use an LIVE CD ?
[18:52] <slavik> that or I would like to find out how to get compiz to place windows over the panels (stuff that is supposed to be fullscreen)
[18:52] <MasterShrek> gstreamer bad and ugly?
[18:52] <levander> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread?t=413624
[18:52] <PO> Hi all ubuntu users!
[18:52] <Juan> its all in
[18:52] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, either way
[18:52] <levander> Juan: follow that link
[18:52] <Juan> will do
[18:53] <slavik> or have different panel configuration depending on the desktop within compiz
[18:53] <juano__> Juan uruguayo ?
[18:53] <Juan> indeed
[18:53] <juano__> hehehehe
[18:53] <juano__> arriba
[18:53] <Juan> bueno
[18:53] <Juan> como va
[18:53] <Juan> acá en inglés che
[18:53] <juano__> yep
[18:53] <kitche> umm just put what you want in a .xinitrc then then do startx
[18:53] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: it computes a checksum of the file so that you can verify its integrity. most unix and linux systems come with it, with windows you have to download it.
[18:53] <abbe> hi channel
[18:54] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: kk
[18:54] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> thx
[18:54] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: sorry about all the questions ... how i can see my primary drive name ? (so i will not make mistake and erase my system) ?
[18:54] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: no problem, hope it goes well
[18:54] <gerg> how can you reset/remove any wireless network connections you've created?
[18:54] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: I installed it I see this compare thing what do I do here?
[18:54] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, are you logged into your ubuntu system right now or using a livecd?
[18:54] <abbe> does 'virtualbox-ose' package (gutsy/amd64) contains i386 version of VirtualBox, hmm... ? I'm thinking to install that.
[18:55] <ibanez> i can't seem to get my wireless on the net using ubuntu feisty, how can i scan for networks ?
[18:55] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: i am now logged into my ubuntu ..
[18:55] <kitche> abbe: yes ose just means open source edition
[18:55] <MolePrince> ibanez: iwlist scanning
[18:55] <abbe> kitche: so thats 32bit or 64bit ?
[18:55] <ibanez> eth1 says no scan results
[18:55] <kitche> abbe: both
[18:55] <ibanez> but im like 2 feet away from the router
[18:55] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, type mount in a terminal and it will show you what is mounted where, whatever is mounted at / is your root partition (put this device at if=/dev/xxxx)
[18:56] <MolePrince> ibanez: check iwconfig eth1 and see if it reports it as having wireless extensions.
[18:56] <abbe> kitche: you mean if I install openbox-ose on my amd64 installation, I'll get both virtualbox executables (one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit), hmm... ?
[18:56] <juano__> ibanez: in the gnome desktop you have the network nm-applet , if your wireless is in roaming mode it should scan all available networks there
[18:56] <ibanez> well it has IEEE 802.11b/g
[18:56] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: don't know which program you're using, but it either wants the checksum from the download website for ubuntu so it can do the comparison for you or it is wanting the path to a file with that info
[18:56] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> http://www.nullriver.com/index/products/winmd5sum
[18:56] <theravingsociety> ibanez: eth1 is not likely the device name of your wireless card. should be atho, wlan0 or something like that
[18:56] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: that one
[18:57] <pudland> need help patching kernel for bluetooth headset
[18:57] <ibanez> hrm

[18:57] <slavik> theravingsociety: eth is possible though
[18:57] <ibanez> bcm43xx
[18:57] <immolo_> heya, I have an nvidia 8500 GT and I'm trying to get tvout working with svideo but ubuntu isn't seeing it
[18:57] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: give me just a moment
[18:57] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> sure
[18:57] <juano__> ibanez: System ---> Admin ---> network, check if eth1 is in roaming mode
[18:57] <ibanez> it is
[18:57] <ibanez> i just checked for that
[18:58] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: so in this command  dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1 - my source drive is "if=/dev/hda1" .. and the target drive is "of=dev..etc." ?
[18:58] <slavik> I've been told that bcm43xx works with WEP (the one in gutsy)
[18:58] <kitche> abbe: no you will get whatever arch you use
[18:58] <juano__> ibanez: clicked nm-applet on desktop ?
[18:58] <abbe> kitche: okay, thank you very much
[18:58] <slavik> Guest16155: if = input file, of = output file :)
[18:58] <ibanez> correct Juan
[18:58] <ibanez> juano__*
[18:58] <Juan> juan needs help too
[18:58] <ibanez> beside wireless connection, instead of having a check mark, i have a -
[18:59] <slavik> Guest16155: you might also want to add bs=8MB (bs = buffer size)
[18:59] <Juan> with asx video streams
[18:59] <juano__> ibanez: does it see the available networks ?
[18:59] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, yep, make sure the partition scheme is right on your destination drive, including a swap partition
[18:59] <ibanez> it doesn't see any juano__
[18:59] <ibanez> it is a bcm43xx
[18:59] <Juan> how can i watch asx video streams?
[18:59] <ibanez> i knwo there has been problems with restricted drivers in gutsy
[18:59] <juano__> ibanez: in terminal sudo iwlist scan what does that output ?
[19:00] <ibanez> now it says it dosn't support scanning
[19:00] <ibanez> No Such Device
[19:00] <MasterShrek> ibanez, do you have the firmware for it?
[19:00] <ibanez> no
[19:00] <ibanez> i do not
[19:00] <MasterShrek> you need firmware for bcm43xx cards
[19:00] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: how can i check if my partition scheme is right on my destination drive, including a swap partition?
[19:00] <ibanez> k
[19:00] <ibanez> ill google for it
[19:00] <Noble> can anyone help me setup a new raid1 installation? It seems to refuse to let me partition my new md0 device with BOTH an ext3 partition AND a swap partition

[19:01] <MasterShrek> ibanez, extract that file to /lib/firmware
[19:01] <ibanez> thanks MasterShrek
[19:01] <pudland> help with kernel pls.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45811/
[19:01] <Juan> how can i watch asx video streams? (i have all of the codecs)
[19:01] <rsk> Juan: mplayerplug-in
[19:01] <juano__> ibanez: ahh no installed driver
[19:01] <Juan> yeah
[19:01] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, sudo fdisk -l  (pastebin the output if you want me to have a look at it)
[19:01] <buzztu> in order to connect to my wifi network with wpa i need to restart my router
[19:02] <tovella> Noble: why not put your swap partion somewhere other than md0?
[19:02] <Noble> i can do that, but i read that if the drive with the swap partition fails, the system will crash
[19:02] <ibanez> thank god for flash drives ;p
[19:03] <popern> Is it possible to upgrade to Ubuntu from Debian?
[19:03] <slavik> popern: you can't really upgrade between distributions
[19:03] <ibanez> juano__ may i ask a slighter dumb question ?
[19:03] <juano__> ibanez: sure
[19:03] <ibanez> how do i extract it to /lib/firmware ?
[19:03] <slavik> popern: it would better be to reinstall from scratch ... which is easy if you separated your root and home partitions :)
[19:03] <popern> slavik: I know, but ubuntu is based on debian right? ^^
[19:03] <juano__> ibanez: tar.gz ?
[19:04] <ibanez> tar.bz2
[19:04] <slavik> popern: yes
[19:04] <infinitycircuit> popern, the repositories are too different to allow an "upgrade" really
[19:04] <pudland> help with kernel patch pls.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45811/
[19:04] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: what should i look for in the output ? (sorry i cant past the output becouse i am not surfing from the same computer)
[19:04] <juano__> ibanez: sudo tar -xvzf yourtarfile.tar.bz2 /lib/firmware
[19:04] <popern> ~okey
