[06:55] <kindofabuzz> bubaphex, that's what's great about google reader, it's web based so you can CSS it all you want
[06:56] <bobernet> bubaphex: they're both console apps, so if that's not your cup of tea, might look elsewhere.  i spend most of my time in non-gui apps, so can't help much there.
[06:56] <hitman1985> LSD|Ninja, while i boot the ibook now it said something about cannot allocate device....
[06:56] <kindofabuzz> bubaphex, apply some styles to it: http://userstyles.org/styles/search/google%20reader
[06:56] <Addernator> how do i set my second HD to auto mount on start up?
[06:56] <hitman1985> LSD|Ninja, is that supposed to pop up before or does it indicate a problem ?
[06:56] <bubaphex> thanks, kindofabuzz i'll give google reader another try, seams to be the rooms fave
[06:57] <LSD|Ninja> hitman1985: where's saying this exactly?
[06:57] <kindofabuzz> bubaphex, yeah like i said, CSS is your friend
[06:57] <cap> LSD|Ninja: Rebooted and hardware drivers panel still says: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[06:57] <hitman1985> LSD|Ninja, right before the ubuntu load starts basicly, between the initial first boot stuff and the orange boot list from ubuntu
[06:58] <bobernet> Addernator: edit /etc/fstab
[06:58] <cap> Maybe the thing is just broken? Or?
[06:58] <Addernator> and what exactly do i put in it? :D
[06:58] <osmosis> how do I assign two IPs to a single nic?
[06:58] <jimmio> osmosis: Why would you want to do that?
[06:59] <php6th> osmosis: eth0:0
[06:59] <bobernet> Addernator: /dev/hda2     /mnt/right_here     ext3     defaults
[06:59] <osmosis> php6th: just setup two devices the same way  but with :0 and :1  ?
[06:59] <php6th> osmosis: yep
[06:59] <bobernet> Addernator: where /dev/hda2 is your hd partition, right_here is the directory for the mount point, ext3 is whatever filesystem
[07:00] <php6th> osmosis: eth0 eth0:0
[07:00] <dbouls_> Hey, I'm looking for some suggestions for a ubuntu box in my geek frat house http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5692225#post5692225 Check it out and ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated for my little project
[07:00] <Addernator> what is the mount point?
[07:01] <bobernet> Addernator: the directory where you want the hard drive accessible
[07:01] <bobernet> Addernator: your system probably mounts one partition on /  maybe another on /home  maybe another on /mnt/my_second_harddrive
[07:02] <dbouls_>  Hey, I'm looking for some suggestions for a ubuntu box in my geek frat house http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5692225#post5692225 Check it out and ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated for my little project
[07:02] <Addernator> the only folder on that HD is lost+found, it's a slave HD for extra storage
[07:02] <bobernet> dbouls_: we saw it the first time
[07:02] <dbouls_> sorry, I meant to post it in a different tab
[07:02] <hitman1985> LSD|Ninja, is there a non terminal based irc application what will run after like a minute setup time ? cuz i cant figure out irssi :( not to good with terminal
[07:02] <bobernet> Addernator: you still need a directory location to mount it.  there are no drive letters in linux  :)
[07:03] <Jordan_U> hitman1985: xchat ?
[07:03] <bobernet> hitman1985: XChat
[07:03] <dmoerner> hitman1985, xchat
[07:03] <Addernator> so what do you suggest?
[07:03] <hitman1985> one sec
[07:03] <kindofabuzz> dbouls_, just left you an idea
[07:03] <dbouls_> thanks man, sorry about the dbl post once again
[07:03] <bobernet> Addernator: if you're using it for backups, i'd probably create a directory called /mnt/backup and mount it there
[07:03] <Addernator> nah it's just for extra storage
[07:04] <redheat> hi folks, hi to you all
[07:04] <chamunks> Do you think its possible to push ssh through TOR?
[07:04] <josmar> sup
[07:04] <giuseppe-karin> hallo leute
[07:05] <bobernet> Addernator: then whatever you want to call it.  really, it doesn't matter.  :)
[07:05] <greenman> will updatedb get attached drives?
[07:05] <hitman1985> giuseppe-karin, how about english please this is the english support channel of ubuntu
[07:05] <redheat> I just need a little help beautifying my Ubuntu desktop, I've already installed Compiz-fusion and it's running like magic, I just need to change the themes, background, login screen does anyone know a program that can do that..
[07:05] <giuseppe-karin> no
[07:05] <IcemanV9> !de | giuseppe-karin
[07:05] <Addernator> i mounted the volume manually but i cannot create a directory in it?
[07:05] <giuseppe-karin> jes
[07:06] <hitman1985> IcemanV9, thx :)
[07:06] <giuseppe-karin> italy
[07:06] <chamunks> Anyone think its possible to push ssh through tor proxy?
[07:06] <dmoerner> redheat, "appearances" tab in system -> Preferences?
[07:06] <Rat409> !it | giuseppe-karin
[07:06] <giuseppe-karin> italy und germany
[07:06] <dmoerner> and "login window" tab
[07:06] <bobernet> Addernator: is it mounted read-only?
[07:07] <redheat> thank you dmoerner..I think I found it it's called art manager..thank you my friend, I truly appreciate your kind help..thank you so much
[07:07] <Addernator> it says in the permissions, you are not the owner so you cant change these permissions
[07:07] <kindofabuzz> chown it
[07:07] <fr500> Addernator:  what filesystem
[07:07] <greenman> okay so updatedb doesn't get attached drives, how do I find a file?  I need to find all .txt files...
[07:08] <Addernator> ext3
[07:08] <fr500> locate txt
[07:08] <veyne> is it normal for a fresh install to use more ram overtime? i.e. i start with 250 ram used and tho i do nothing i sit for a few hrs idle and it is using like 300 etc?
[07:08] <fr500> Addernator: chwon username -R folder_name
[07:08] <bobernet> Addernator: in /etc/fstab replace "defaults" with "rw,user" no quotes
[07:08] <dmoerner> greenman, find /path -name "*.txt"
[07:08] <fr500> -R = recursive
[07:08] <bobernet> fr500: it was likely mounted readonly
[07:08] <barbarella> chamunks:sshproxy project
[07:08] <bobernet> for users
[07:09] <fr500> aren't those only important for vfat?
[07:09] <bobernet> Addernator: then mount it with your normal account (no sudo)
[07:09] <hitman1985> Jordan_U, how do i add a server there since ubuntu isnt in there ?
[07:10] <chamunks> barbarella, thanks
[07:10] <bobernet> veyne: sudo apt-get install htop  then run htop and sort by mem usage.  depends what's using the memory and why
[07:10] <Jordan_U> hitman1985: What do you mean?
[07:10] <veyne> danke
[07:10] <hitman1985> Jordan_U, you said xchat, but theres a list of servers, that dont contain ubuntu :(
[07:10] <bobernet> hitman1985: the server is irc.freenode.net
[07:10] <greenman> thanks
[07:10] <hitman1985> OH :( sorry
[07:10] <greenman> wait what if I need recursive?
[07:11] <bobernet> greenman: find is inherently recursive
[07:11] <greenman> ah
[07:11] <Addernator> ok the HD is dev/sdb can some one please write the line i need to put in my /etc/fstab file prettey pleaseeee? :D
[07:12] <hitman1986> ok
[07:12] <hitman1985> :) there we go
[07:12] <Addernator> file sytem etx3
[07:12] <bobernet> Addernator: /dev/sdb    /mnt/wherever    ext3     rw,user
[07:12] <hitman1986> LSD|Ninja: what do you need to help me out over here ? lspci
[07:13] <LSD|Ninja> hitman1986: sorry was in another channel in another window
[07:13] <bobernet> Addernator: wait, what partition?  /dev/sdb1 ?
[07:13] <Addernator> doesent it need to be dev/sdb1?
[07:13] <hitman1986> LSD|Ninja: i got nothin but time, like about 6 hrs :)
[07:13] <Addernator> yeah only partition
[07:13] <godmode117> can anyone recommend some software for .avi>DVD?
[07:13] <tyler> LSD|Ninja: how do I even find the wireless manger in hardy...i installed the .deb
[07:13] <bobernet> Addernator: then, yes.  /dev/sdb1
[07:13] <veyne> ok, htop is mesmerizing  .. sadly i dont know what im looking for.. but its pretty
[07:13] <dboy> why 'printf' doesn't work?
[07:14] <Jordan_U> dboy: In what language?
[07:14] <Addernator> i'm confused with this file, where do i put the line?
[07:14] <dboy> c
[07:14] <bobernet> veyne: F6, RES
[07:14] <bobernet> Addernator: at the end is fine
[07:14] <Jordan_U> dboy: In what way is it not working for you, it's working fine here
[07:14] <LSD|Ninja> tyler: I don't know what triggers it, but the primary interface for network-manager I believe is the panel icon on the menu bar
[07:14] <joustin> got a quick question, for a storage only drive, will ext2 work?
[07:15] <chamunks> barbarella, i think this isnt quite what im looking for I want to connect to a remote ssh server via the onion router network
[07:15] <hitman1986> LSD| Ninja, 0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
[07:15] <tyler> all i see LSD is wired network and manuel configuration
[07:15] <Jordan_U> joustin: Yes, but why not go with ext3?
[07:15] <veyne> ok, thats impressive .. it seems that firefox loves me
[07:15] <bobernet> veyne: that sorts by mem usage.  take a peek at it when you start clean, and later.  see what's growing.  firefox is a good suspect if you're running it
[07:16] <bubaphex> I've been told Kino is the closest alternative to finial cut pro, any one able to recommend something else thats better or is kino the best thing available for linux ?
[07:16] <bobernet> ff is a notorious memory-leaking pig.  restart will solve it.
[07:16] <veyne> thank you very much, its been bugging me hehe
[07:16] <tyler> LSD|Ninja: i see an icon on the top right that says wired connection but not wireless
[07:16] <mgonzalez> Buenas que tal espero esten bien todos... Quisiera hacerles una pregunta, resulta que poseo una coneccion de internet de 4megas la cual me andaba perfectamente en mis dos so ubuntu hardy heron y windows xp, pero resulta que de un tiempo para aca, para ser mas exacto desde el lunes la coneccion en linux se ve afectada las descargas no sobrepasan los 56 kb mientras que en windows se monta en 400 kb. Alguien tendra alguna idea de q sucede
[07:16] <Addernator> so one thing remains i need to create a folder on the HD to use as the mount point but it wont let me do anything in it how do i get around this one? lol
[07:16] <LSD|Ninja> tyler: normally that would mean the wireless drivers aren't setup and working right but we're dealing with drivers from external sources which may change things
[07:16] <dboy> Jordan_U: after installing ubuntu, I run 'gcc' to compile a helloworld.c file, it cannot recongise 'printf'
[07:17] <Addernator> sudo mk /mnt/dev/hdb1/whatever?
[07:17] <php6th> mgonzalez: is that african language
[07:17] <php6th> ?
[07:17] <bobernet> Addernator: sudo mkdir /mnt/the_dir_you_want_to_call_the_other_drive
[07:17] <mgonzalez> spanish
[07:17] <Addernator> ooo i was soo close :P
[07:17] <Addernator> lol
[07:17] <php6th> mgonzalez: speak english
[07:18] <Jangari> !es | mgonzalez
[07:18] <LSD|Ninja> hitman1986: Is this Broadcom in your iBook?
[07:18] <sploh> i install intrepid about a week ago, when its kernel 2.6.25 tapping is still usable, but after update to kernel 2.6.27 tapping doesn't work anymore
[07:18] <josmar> where is all my hacker bitches in the hizz house? :)
[07:18] <hitman1986> LSD|Ninja: yes its i believe the airport extreme
[07:18] <LSD|Ninja> sploh: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid stuff
[07:18] <jimmio> josmar: hizouse* and uhm why do you think anyone would want to say they're a hacker? lmao
[07:18] <mgonzalez> ubottu ok gracias
[07:18] <linux_user400354> my resolution is stuck at 320x200 after installing ubuntu and enabling the restricted nvidia driver. i tried to fix it with nvidia-settings, but the resolution is too small to use nvidia-settings. help.
[07:19] <LSD|Ninja> hitman1986: Ah, that changes things. I have no idea what the firmware situation is for Broadcom on the PowerPC side I'm afraid
[07:19] <bobernet> jimmio: "i do not think that word means what you think it means."  ;)
[07:19] <Jordan_U> dboy: You sure your hello world is written correctly?
[07:19] <hitman1986> LSD|Ninja: yes indeed airport extreme is right underneith the keyboard
[07:19] <Addernator> bobernet: dont i need the hdb1 to tell it it'a the second HD?
[07:19] <sploh> LSD|Ninja: kk
[07:19] <hitman1986> LSD|Ninja: :( noiooooo i need halp :P
[07:19] <hitman1986> anyone else have a clue about wlan in ibook g4
[07:19] <rickyzone> is a hacker really a bad thing?
[07:19] <Jangari> linux_user400354: alt=mouse will move a window around, maybe you can move it into a better position to alter the settings
[07:19] <jimmio> bobernet: Most people use it as a synonym for cracker... so...
[07:19] <mgonzalez>
[07:19] <mgonzalez> Good I hope that such are all well ... Let me ask a question, that has an Internet connection 4megas which I went so perfectly into my two ubuntu hardy heron and Windows XP, but it turns out that for a while here, to be more accurate since Monday in the connection linux suffers discharges not exceed 56 kbps while in windows mounts on 400 kb. Somebody will have some idea of q happens
[07:20] <Jangari> alt+mouse, pardon
[07:20] <josmar> no
[07:20] <Jordan_U> dboy: With all of the apps that use printf fine it's frankly more likely an error on your part
[07:20] <bobernet> Addernator: it's just a place-holder.  so once the drive is mounted there, you can "cd /mnt/my_favorite_drive ; ls" and see all your files
[07:20] <php6th> mgonzalez: no idea
[07:20] <dboy> Jordan_U:very very sure. Do I need to install any additional compiler??
[07:20] <c0_jomblo> huh
[07:20] <mgonzalez> ok
[07:20] <Jordan_U> dboy: No
[07:20] <mgonzalez> thanks
[07:20] <hitman1986> LSD|Ninja: any other ideas for the g4 whats possible like getting up to date or something planned ? i dont understand why 8.04 hardy wont work :( i like hary on mine
[07:20] <linux_user400354> Jangari, i did try that. as soon as i click on the button to change the resolution, the window moves out of place again.
[07:20] <dboy> :S
[07:20] <Jangari> hmm, might be related to me not being able to get parallel screens going
[07:20] <LSD|Ninja> hitman1986: Google around and see if it's possible to get ppc compatible firmware for it. You might be lucky and procedure may ned up being not all that different to b43 on x86
[07:20] <jimmio> !es | mgonzales
[07:21] <Addernator> awww god am confused, i just want to make a damn directory on my second HD
[07:21] <LSD|Ninja> tyler: is ath9k loaded?
[07:21] <hitman1986> LSD|Ninja: thanks for the help anyways,
[07:21] <tyler> i have no idea lsd....hang on im trying something else
[07:22] <bobernet> Addernator: think of it as assigning a drive letter in windows.  it might have a partition, and it might be formatted, but without assigning it to, say, E:\ you can't do anything with it.
[07:22] <Jordan_U> dboy: Most likely you just didn't include stdio in which case your code probably compiled fine ( try running the executable a.out ) but just gave you a warning about compatibility
[07:22] <sixand> 有会中文的吗?
[07:22] <cap> Still trying to get this broadcom WiFi chip to work.
[07:22] <bobernet> Addernator: /etc/fstab is the way to specify what partitions you want mounted automatically each time you boot
[07:22] <ompaul> !cn | sixand
[07:23] <cap> ing install may have messed things up.
[07:23] <cap> I'm thinking that the extra pcmcia wireless card that was in during install may have messed things up.
[07:23] <Jordan_U> cap: Did you install b43-fwcutter and allow it to grab the required firmware when prompted?
[07:23] <bobernet> Addernator: mkdir /mnt/drive_e  creates the "drive letter"... mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/drive_e  "assigns" the drive letter   and editing /etc/fstab says, make it accessible there each time i reboot.  make sense?
[07:23] <cap> See: http://pastebin.ca/1189173
[07:23] <Addernator> so can some one please just paste the command i need to use
[07:24] <Addernator> call the thing mount2
[07:24] <cap> Jordan_U: Yes It appeared to have acquired specific firmware.
[07:25] <bobernet> Addernator: sudo mkdir /mnt/mount2; sudo echo "/dev/sdb1   /mnt/mount2   ext3   rw,user" >> /etc/fstab; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mount2
[07:25] <bobernet> Addernator: then cd /mnt/mount2  and do what you will
[07:25] <cap> I was even able to make wlan0 acquire essid using iwlist wlan0 scanning
[07:25] <Addernator> holy shit o.o
[07:25] <cap> But not connecting.
[07:25] <Addernator> excuse my language
[07:25] <Jordan_U> bobernet: You can't "sudo echo" try "echo whatever | sudo tee -a /whatever"
[07:25] <rebel_kid> firefox is telling me Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. is there a way to get around that without rebooting, im running some apps that i just cant afford to reboot atm
[07:26] <bobernet> Jordan_U: good catch.  thanks
[07:26] <LSD|Ninja> cap: do you see any wireless networks when you click the network manager applet now?
[07:26] <Jordan_U> cap: Any results from iwlist scan ?
[07:26] <Jangari> rebel_kid: in a terminal, type sudo killall firefox
[07:27] <rebel_kid> jangari, thanks
[07:27] <cap> I was able to make wlan0 acquire essid using iwlist wlan0 scanning
[07:27] <Jangari> then it'll run when you start it
[07:27] <cap> Once
[07:27] <Addernator> bobernet: can i talk to you in pm and you can run me through this because theres too much traffic i cant follow
[07:27] <HAL9000> I have an unmet dependency but can't locate it exactly in synaptic. "configure: error: GTK+ 2.10 or higher is required"

[07:29] <shyam_k> how to enable write access for normal users on external partitions in general?
[07:29] <lovinglinux> Does someone know how to setup the GStreamer input command so it grabs the composite channel instead the tuner? The current working command is: v4l2src device="/dev/video0"
[07:30] <Jangari> is it safe to unmount my data partition and my windows partition and resize them to give Widnows more space? Windows is too hungry.
[07:30] <rebel_kid> how can i add a command to terminal so instead of typing out whole thing 100 times i could just open terminal and type a one word command
[07:30] <bobernet> Jangari: defrag first
[07:30] <rebel_kid> jangari, i dont it a thousand times, never had a problem
[07:30] <Jangari> rebel_kid: alias
[07:30] <Jangari> man alias
[07:30] <geev> your help i want to register to ##c channel so that i can talk
[07:30] <Jordan_U> rebel_kid: Make a script, add it to ~/bin ( make that directory if needed )
[07:30] <wantdivx> HALP! how do I make mplayer play Divx? I search for "divx" and "codecs" in Synaptic - nothing of interest there.
[07:31] <murlidhar> bazhang: did u find the solution about blacklisting 8139too module ?
[07:31] <lovinglinux> rebel_kid: I would also like to know that. I'm currently using Tomby notes to copy commands
[07:31] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: Make a script, add it to ~/bin ( make that directory if needed )
[07:31] <rebel_kid> jangari, man alias returns nothing
[07:31] <Jangari> seriously?
[07:32] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: do I need a script for every command?

[07:32] <shyam_k> ?
[07:32] <Jangari> okay, well, you can set up aliases in your ~/.bashrc file
[07:32] <rebel_kid> jordan_u, what language do i write the script in? is it just what i would enter into terminal?
[07:32] <HAL9000> Where can I find  GTK+ 2.10 or higher in 804 ?
[07:33] <shyam_k> but i just dont know which all usergroups are to be subscribed to get what all access.
[07:33] <Jordan_U> rebel_kid: Yes, it's exactly as you would write in a terminal, just be sure to make the first line "#!/bin/bash" and make it executable

[07:34] <murlidhar> Jangari: ext3 doesn't need defragmmenting the drives
[07:34] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: the when you want to run the scriot you simple type the name of the script in the terminal?
[07:34] <Jangari> what about ntfs?
[07:34] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: Yup
[07:34] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: cool thanks
[07:34] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: np

[07:34] <murlidhar> Jangari: ntfs ? no it can't be done in linux afaik
[07:34] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: do you know something about GStreamer?
[07:35] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: Not much

[07:36] <zzdds> veyne, do you have to be reg'd to pm?
[07:36] <rebel_kid> jordan_u, how do i name the command to start the script?

[07:36] <wantdivx> Jordan_U: divix - some FOSS alternative to Divx ?
[07:36] <Jordan_U> rebel_kid: It's just whatever the name of the file is
[07:36] <greenman> okay there are way more .txt files than I want, is there an easy way to show and sort the output by date?
[07:36] <Jangari> rebel_kid: the name of the file is now the command
[07:36] <rebel_kid> awesome
[07:36] <lovinglinux> wantdivx: ae you trying to view DivX on standalone player or Firefox plugin?
[07:36] <murlidhar> how to i connect my adsl router using usb mode?
[07:37] <wantdivx> lovinglinux: in mplayer preferably
[07:37] <shyam_k> bye..
[07:37] <Jordan_U> wantdivx: No, just me mistyping divx. There is however also Xvid which is exactly that :)
[07:37] <rebel_kid> jangari, says command not found
[07:37] <wantdivx> lovinglinux: but it would be nice to be able to view it in Firefox as well
[07:37] <Jangari> did you make it executable?
[07:37] <HAL9000> greenman: right click in an empty space in your file browser there is arrange items by date
[07:38] <veyne> i dont wanna have to reinstall windows to use the thing.. i may sell it and buy a linux friendly alternative.. any suggestions other that ipod?
[07:38] <wantdivx> Jordan_U: the description of v 15.2 (in 8.04.1) does not mention Divx though
[07:38] <geev> your help i want to register to ##c channel so that i can talk because i have connected to the channel but when i type any thing it say :Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel
[07:38] <leo_away> isn't it possible to watch divx on firefox with the videolan plugin? i never tried, but it seems doable
[07:38] <jimmio> veyne: iPod. xD
[07:38] <rebel_kid> jangari, der
[07:38] <lovinglinux> wantdivx:  follow this tutorial and install Gecko Media Player. It has DivX support for both. Don't skip any steps, since there are some dependencies you need to install first, from Medibuntu repository
[07:38] <rebel_kid> jangari, forgot
[07:39] <lovinglinux> wantdivx:  fprgot the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[07:39] <geev> no help?
[07:39] <veyne> i hate mac more than m$ sadly.. id like to find a nice alternative
[07:39] <Jordan_U> !register | geev
[07:39] <wantdivx> lovinglinux: if ubuntu-restricted-extras already includes Divx codes (as Jordan_U suggested), I hope mplayer will just find them, won't it?
[07:40] <AeronTS> Dcicorps1903()
[07:40] <AeronTS> god
[07:40] <greenman> 5~i'm in the terminal, using find atm
[07:40] <AeronTS> which command can i run to find out what programs i have installed with apt weeks ago?
[07:40] <lovinglinux> wantdivx: really don't know. I just know that I followed that tutorial and can play everything I tried so far.
[07:40] <Jordan_U> wantdivx: ubuntu-restricted extras installs gstreamer plugins so likely not, but last I remember mplayer played divx by default
[07:41] <Jangari> hmm, i can't seem to run bash scripts either,
[07:41] <AeronTS> i know there was an ide that i had installed, but can't remember the name of it, and it doesn't appear in my application->programming menu
[07:41] <Jordan_U> Jangari: What happens when you try?
[07:41] <Jangari> 'command not found', though, i'm working on a remote server through ssh, and i don't have admin privs
[07:42] <HAL9000> What can I do to solve this compile problem in 804? checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.10.0... no
[07:42] <Jangari> i can type the path to the script though, and that works
[07:42] <kiiwii> hi,all. ubuntu 8.04, bash,after "sudo -i" , the root can not perform auto completion for man or service. why?
[07:42] <Jangari> ~/bin/"script"
[07:42] <Jordan_U> Jangari: Does your $PATH include ~/bin ?
[07:42] <Guest90549> Hello people i need some PORT scanner ( example: i need to find the port of some ip address " <IP_ADDRESS>" ) can somebody help me please
[07:42] <Jangari> ah, i have to set that. Which file is it in
[07:42] <Jangari> ?
[07:43] <Jangari> .profile?
[07:43] <Jordan_U> Jangari: In Ubuntu it should be there by default, if you just added the directory you may need to start a new shell or re-source .bashrc
[07:44] <moonlitaura> Hey everyone, I have a Gateway MT3422 laptop running hardy heron (fully updated). When I try to wake from sleep mode, the screen backlight does come on and there's some HDD activity but the laptop never recovers. I've searched and found others with the same problem but haven't found a solution. There are no power saving options in the BIOS to modify. Has anyone heard of this problem before or run across a solution?
[07:44] <Jordan_U> Jangari: If not then yes, in .profile
[07:44] <Guest90549> Hello people i need some PORT scanner ( example: i need to find the port of some ip address " <IP_ADDRESS>" ) can somebody help me please ???
[07:45] <Jangari> what's the line I should add?
[07:45] <Jordan_U> Jangari: Did you try opening a new shell first?
[07:46] <Guest90549> Hello people i need some PORT scanner ( example: i need to find the port of some ip address " <IP_ADDRESS>" ) can somebody help me please ???
[07:46] <Jangari> i have now, Jordan_U
[07:46] <c0_jomblo> tai
[07:46] <jimmio> !patience | Guest90549
[07:46] <Jordan_U> Jangari: Is it working in the new shell?
[07:46] <Jangari> no
[07:46] <thatsright> can i upgrade to itrepidibex without an internet connection?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> Jangari: Then the line is "export PATH=$PATH:~/bin"
[07:47] <Assargadon> I used 7.04 for a long time...and now I upgrade my computer a little. So I plan to upgrade my ubuntu, too. This time I want to install my system on programmatical RAID. Waht I need for this? I read I need alternative install CD or server CD. It leads to one more question: what is the difference between different Ubuntu images?
[07:48] <Jangari> sweet, thanks Jordan_U, worked straight up
[07:48] <Jordan_U> Jangari: np
[07:48] <jimmio> Assargadon: The Server has no GUI if I'm not mistaken... you'd need to install it yourself. the Alternate just installs without a GUI but is a standard install.
[07:49] <Jangari> cool, now all the scripts I run for audio processing and archive can be run - slightly more fast than before
[07:49] <Assargadon> jimmio: thanks
[07:49] <jimmio> Assargadon: np
[07:49] <Assargadon> as far as I understand, I need to install software RAID durin partioning part of installation
[07:50] <konstant3n> !win32codecs
[07:50] <bobernet> 2 hours 30 minutes and still linking.  ugh.  i need a new laptop.
[07:50] <Assargadon> so. if those installations are same, I can do it with standart install, too
[07:50] <Assargadon> is it correct?
[07:50] <moonlitaura> Oh, one more question, is irc.ubuntu.org part of the freenode network? I'm trying to connect to freenode and I see my nick is already taken but it's fairly unique...
[07:51] <Jordan_U> moonlitaura: Yes, it is
[07:51] <moonlitaura> ah, k, thanks. Thought that was what was going on
[07:51] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: can I add a subdirectory to ~/bin and put my personal scripts there or should I use /usr/sbin or /usr/sbin?
[07:51] <aprilhare> how do you allow windows users on a home network to access a printer connected to a ubuntu machine?
[07:51] <greenman> thanks everyone, I'm taking this home to continue working on it.  I'm going to get it to work!
[07:51] <greenman> exit
[07:52] <niuq> actually /usr/sbin == /usr/sbin xD
[07:52] <jimmio> Assargadon: Yeah, I don't see why not... I have never used a RAID setup... so I can't help much.
[07:52] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: Why make a subdirectory, what's wrong with just putting them all in ~/bin ?
[07:52] <lovinglinux> niuq: oops :-)
[07:52] <niuq> heh
[07:53] <Assargadon> jimmio: only "thanks" was directed to you personally. Next question was directed to all :)
[07:54] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: just to make it clear the ~/  path is the top level path where I can find bin, root and home right? I'm thinking about a subdirectory because what happens if some application I install have a file with the same name?
[07:54] <Kai_wp> How can I disable alt from being used to drag windows?
[07:54] <Kai_wp> If I hold alt and click+drag in any window it drags, I want to disable this.
[07:54] <Assargadon> Ok, another question. I heard a lot about kernel recompilation. They told, if you will recompile kernel especially for your machine and for your needs, it will increase everything possible to increase :)
[07:54] <Assargadon> Is it correct?
[07:54] <Dr_willis> Kai_wp,  ive seen that mentioned in some wine forums..  But not sure how its disabled.. except for fullscreen apps.
[07:55] <niuq> Assargadon, if you know what are you doing
[07:55] <Assargadon> Does it mean sense to experiment wit it before my system becomes fulfilled with my data....
[07:55] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: "~" is the same as /home/you , so there should be nothing which has files in /home/you/bin other than what you put there
[07:55] <Kai_wp> Dr_willis: Well it seems to work in non-wine apps aswell.
[07:55] <kiiwii> Hmm,can I past my question a second time? ... hi,all. ubuntu 8.04, bash,after "sudo -i" , the root can not perform auto completion for man or service. why?
[07:56] <Assargadon> niuq: I feel I understand general idea. I'm skilled in IT and programming...but I not ever recompilate the kernel before.
[07:56] <Flannel> kiiwii: probably because root has completion turned off (or rather, not turned on)
[07:56] <mrglinux> /msg NickServ identify 792eyc281
[07:56] <Dr_willis> Kai_wp,  ive seen it discussed in WINE forums.. its a feature of X/window managers  Many wine users hate it..
[07:57] <Dr_willis> Kai_wp,  i even have a tool for windows that enables the same alt-drag feature in windows. :)
[07:57] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: that was my mistake I was using the top level bin directory
[07:57] <HAL9000> Is there a gtk2.10 for 804?
[07:57] <bobernet> Assargadon: you can rebuild your kernel at any time.  whether you have data or not
[07:57] <kiiwii> Flannel, I have not change any .profile or .bashrc, just use them by default.
[07:57] <niuq> Assargadon, install a new version of kernel, keep the one you have, and mess with it xD, you system crash the you can just back over
[07:57] <niuq> Assargadon, if your**
[07:57] <crdlb> HAL9000: 8.04 has 2.12
[07:57] <Flannel> kiiwii: .bashrc is *your* bash completion settings, not roots.
[07:58] <niuq> Assargadon, i'm sorry i always miss letters
[07:58] <bobernet> Assargadon: it is possible to end up with a non-bootable system if you don't know what you're doing so be careful.  but here's a quick tutorial:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1174954&postcount=507
[07:58] <Flannel> kiiwii: my /root/.bashrc has the completion bits commented out.
[07:59] <Assargadon> niuq, bobernet thanks
[07:59] <Assargadon> well, the possibility of crash a system is a reason I want to try it with new system installation
[07:59] <bobernet> Assargadon: it's not a non-recoverable crash
[08:00] <Assargadon> as the very reserve, I have a possibility just reinstall it :)
[08:00] <adam7> Assargadon: A good tutorial for kernel compilation is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158
[08:00] <kiiwii> Flannel, wow~, I see ：）thx Flannel.
[08:00] <Assargadon> bobernet: yes, I know - but it's possible my low skill in kernel manipulations can prevent me from successfull recovery :)
[08:00] <bobernet> Assargadon: follow step by step and you'll be fine.  :)
[08:01] <Assargadon> adam7, thanks, too
[08:01] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: if I use the top level bin it works, but if I put my script under /home/me/bin/ it doesn't
[08:01] <niuq> Assargadon, go ahead crash your system, it's pure fun
[08:01] <HAL9000> crdbl: trying to compile gcam and get an error"configure: error: GTK+ 2.10 or higher is required"
[08:01] <adam7> Assargadon: if you follow the link I gave you you can't really screw up :)
[08:01] <HAL9000> crdbl:Can you make any suggestions ?
[08:01] <Assargadon> bobernet, it maybe impossible to follow step-by-step. One possible way why it will be impossible - internet will be unavaliable during this period :)
[08:01] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: You may need to start a new shell after adding the ~/bin directory for the first time
[08:01] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  i recall having to add the users bin directory to the default paths in the .bashrc or .bash_profile
[08:02] <crdlb> HAL9000: yes, ubuntu includes gtk, but not its development headers
[08:02] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  those chages will only take effect in newly spawned shells  like Jordan_U  said.
[08:02] <crdlb> HAL9000: for that you want libgtk2.0-dev
[08:02] <Assargadon> niuq: thanks for your optimistic vision :)
[08:03] <HAL9000> crdbl: aah -dev thank you !!!
[08:03] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis: do you mean closing and open a new terminal?
[08:03] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  i mean starting a new shell. :)   thats one way to do it..
[08:03] <IoFF> а я тут сосиску в тесте ем    ^..^
[08:04] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis:  I stillneed to get used to the terminology. It doesn't work either
[08:04] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  run another terminal, logout back in,  ssh in, or just resource the .bash_profile and .bashrc with '. .bashrc'
[08:04] <Assargadon> IoFF: И что - вкусная?
[08:04] <IoFF> ага
[08:04] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  only 'login shells' read the .bash_profile I recall.. all shells read the .bashrc when they start
[08:04] <IoFF> решил посфинячить
[08:04] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis: I will try to  logout and login. brb
[08:05]  * Assargadon was surprised when he buys his WiFi router. There are printed GPL in the pack :)
[08:05] <Flannel> !ru | IoFF
[08:06] <IoFF> Flannel, i don`t need to help
[08:06] <mrglinux> I need a program to see TV ( get from internet)
[08:06] <Flannel> IoFF: english only in this channel please
[08:07] <IoFF> Flannel, ok, i understand
[08:07] <Jordan_U> Dr_willis: I could have sworn there was something like if -d ~/bin then PATH=$PATH:~/bin in the default .bashrc for ubuntu
[08:07] <Flannel> Jordan_U, Dr_willis: there is
[08:07] <Dr_willis> Jordan_U,  i got my own customized .bashrc and .bash_profile from ages ago.. so i have no clue whats 'default'
[08:08] <andri-setiawan> :D
[08:08] <Dr_willis> One must rember that one is only read by login shells.. and the other is read by all bash shells starting
[08:09] <bobernet> it's in the default .bash_profile
[08:09] <bobernet> # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
[08:09] <bobernet> if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
[08:09] <bobernet>     PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
[08:09] <bobernet> fi
[08:09] <FloodBot1> bobernet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:09] <amanulla> hoe to run and install VMWARE in ubuntu 8
[08:09] <Dr_willis> and thats the one only read by a 'login' shell.
[08:09] <Dr_willis> at the end. I think it parses the .bashrc  normally
[08:10] <rubydiamond> Hi ppl
[08:11] <rubydiamond> I want to find out other computers connected on my network
[08:11] <rubydiamond> using nmap
[08:11] <sfreak_> a
[08:12] <sfreak_> ruby: you can try doing nmap -sP 192.168.0.*, which will tell you all computers that are up on the 192.168.0 subnet
[08:13] <kchung> is there a reset to default for appearance preferences in 8.04LTS
[08:13] <kchung> ?
[08:13] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: and Dr_willis, it works now thanks
[08:13] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: np
[08:13] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  Great! err... what works? i forgot..
[08:13] <Omar87> Where do I find the dsl-provider file?
[08:13] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: should I set the permissions of that folder too be writable by root only?
[08:14] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: No, it's only your user's
[08:14] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis: the script folder after opening a new shell
[08:14] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: and why it doesn't work if the foilder is hidden?
[08:15] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  :)  that 'advanced bash scripting guide' is worth reading some time also. to learn all about  the .Whatever files.
[08:15] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis: thanks
[08:16] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: There is a script which runs at login and looks specifically for ~/bin and adds it to your $PATH ( the list of directories to look in for executables ) but you can also add any other folder to your $PATH yourself
[08:16] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  technically its the 'bin directory' :)
[08:17] <Dr_willis> I must have dozens of my own commands/tools in my bin. its about 40mb right now
[08:17] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: which file is that?
[08:17] <andri-setiawan> :D
[08:18] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis:  so, the script look for the ~/bin path and virtualize it as being just bin?
[08:18] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,  the .bash_profile file
[08:18] <Dr_willis> lovinglinux,   looks for a bin directory and if its there.. it adds it to the end of the PATH for the user.
[08:19] <ubuntu_> hello
[08:19] <Dr_willis> no idea what you mean by 'virtualize' :) its a directory whos name gets added to the default PATH
[08:19] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis: thanks I will look for it
[08:19] <klausade> is there a channel for the Wubi installer somehere?
[08:19] <rubydiamond> How to scan network
[08:19] <ubuntu_> is there documentation for installing ubuntu 8.04 via the alternate cd?
[08:19] <rubydiamond> I want to know all computers on my network
[08:19] <Dr_willis> rubydiamond,  i use the nmap command to scan the network  normally
[08:19] <ubuntu_> i can only find 7.04 on the website
[08:19] <rubydiamond> Dr_willis: what is the command options
[08:19] <andri-setiawan> nmap -sP 192.168.0.*
[08:19] <Dr_willis> rubydiamond,  someone mentioned it just earlier..
[08:19] <andri-setiawan> :D
[08:19] <Jordan_U> lovinglinux: You would add it to your ~/.profile, a line something like "PATH=$PATH:/your/directory/here" but be careful if you forget the $PATH: part you will have to enter the full path to commands ( like /bin/ls ) until you fix it
[08:20] <rubydiamond> okay
[08:20] <Dr_willis> that does a 'ping scan' of the whole 192.168.0.* network
[08:20] <Dr_willis> you might want to put  single quotes around that ip.* bit.
[08:20] <andri-setiawan> ehm...
[08:20] <andri-setiawan> ok thanx
[08:20] <Dr_willis> Jordan_U,  i though we discoverd it was in the default .bash_profile allready.
[08:21] <outbriber> !away
[08:21] <TtyS2> Dr_willis: what value do u use in nmap to see it run
[08:21] <Dr_willis> TtyS2,  value? Iuse the ip of my local lan.
[08:21] <bobernet> ubuntu_: this is close: http://www.binonabiso.com/en/Ubuntu-miniRAM-HOWTO.html
[08:21] <Dr_willis> TtyS2,  i normally filter it a little bit with grep to make a nicer clean output
[08:21] <Jordan_U> Dr_willis: He was asking why it didn't work when it was "hidden" so I assumed he had put a . in front of it and told him that it only looks for ~/bin exactly but he could add his own directories if he wanted
[08:21] <rubydiamond> Dr_willis: Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 52.183 seconds
[08:22] <rubydiamond> Dr_willis: I ran  nmap -sP 192.168.104.*
[08:22] <bobernet> rubydiamond: what is your machine's IP?
[08:22] <ubuntu_> thanks bobernet
[08:22] <ubuntu_> i'm reading that now
[08:22] <rubydiamond> my machine ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:22] <Dr_willis> rubydiamond,  perhaps you need to use YOUR correct ip address/mask?  or no machines are replyng to pings..
[08:22] <ubuntu_> but i don't think thisreally applies to me
[08:22] <ubuntu_> i have a recent laptop computer
[08:22] <Dr_willis> rubydiamond,  wrong ip then. You scanned the wan. not the local lan perhaps.
[08:22] <veyne> is there a way to do something similar to "sudo" in nautilus w/o going into terminal?
[08:22] <bobernet> rubydiamond: then scan 192.168.1.*
[08:23] <ubuntu_> honestly  i shouldnt be having problems. i blame the installer
[08:23] <bobernet> veyne: gksudo
[08:23] <rubydiamond> Dr_willis: 192.168.104.* is the vpn network .. I want to scan it'
[08:23] <Dr_willis> So you just scanned part of the  isp :)
[08:23] <bobernet> ubuntu_: why are you using the alternate installer unless you're trying to get a minimal base?
[08:23] <veyne> awessome
[08:23] <veyne> tyvm
[08:23] <ubuntu_> i'm using the alternate installer because the Live installer doesnt work
[08:23] <rubydiamond> bobernet: yeah but I want to know all computers in vpn network.. which is having ip range 192.168.104.*
[08:23] <ubuntu_> the live installer crashes no matter what
[08:24] <Dr_willis> rubydiamond,  its possible the machines/firewall is blocking stuff.. I dont use vpn so cant advise  much more then that.
[08:24] <ubuntu_> the alternate installer stopped doing anything after "cleaning up"
[08:24] <bobernet> rubydiamond: are you connected to the VPN?  is there a firewall? etc
[08:24] <ubuntu_> i.e. it froze at 100%
[08:24] <ubuntu_> i think the base install is on the disk though
[08:24] <rubydiamond> yeah.. bobernet there may be firewall.... how can i find that out...
[08:25] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  how long it been hanging at 'cleaning up' ?
[08:25] <ubuntu_> well it got to 100% like i said
[08:25] <rubydiamond> also I just want to ssh into my work machine.. which is having ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:25] <bobernet> rubydiamond: ask the maintainer of the network.  ;)
[08:25] <ubuntu_> and then it stayed there for about 30 minutes at the least
[08:25] <rubydiamond> hmm bobernet its little urgent
[08:26] <bobernet> rubydiamond: can you ping your machine?
[08:26] <bobernet> rubydiamond: how are you connecting to the vpn?
[08:26] <rubydiamond> using openvpn client on mac
[08:27] <sfreak_> yeah ruby try doing nmap localhost and see if you get anthing out of that
[08:27] <bobernet> rubydiamond: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[08:28] <pc|ipv6> hi. for some reason firefox in ubuntu hardy 64 bit won't load
[08:28] <pc|ipv6> can anyone help me out?
[08:28] <BoogyWoe> maybe upgrade your ubuntu
[08:28] <kindofabuzz> pc|ipv6, run it from cli, what do you get for errors?
[08:28] <ubuntu_> so bobernet do u have anymore advice?
[08:29] <pc|ipv6> kindofabuzz: nothing
[08:29] <kindofabuzz> nothing? you just get a prompt again?
[08:29] <bobernet> ubuntu_: i wish i did.  i know next to nothing about the ubuntu installer.  i've been using debian for about 10 years.  only use ubuntu on a couple laptops here at the house.
[08:29] <ubuntu_> i see
[08:29] <ubuntu_> does anyone here know anything about the ubuntu installer?
[08:29] <pc|ipv6> kindofabuzz: yep
[08:29] <ubuntu_> i mean s*** it was almost done
[08:30] <Jordan_U> bobernet: If you prefer Debian's installer go with the alternate CD
[08:30] <kindofabuzz> it's the same as the debian one, well the alt installer is
[08:30] <ubuntu_> a lot of the files are on the drive
[08:30] <ubuntu_> if not all of them
[08:30] <ubuntu_> but i can't boot from it
[08:30] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: changing the .profile didn't worked very well :-) anyways, the scripts are working and that is what matters
[08:30] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: At what stage did it fail?
[08:30] <kindofabuzz> pc|ipv6, so when you type firefox into the terminal you get absolutly nothing?
[08:30] <ubuntu_> it stopped after "cleaning up"
[08:31] <bobernet> Jordan_U: truthfully - after this latest upgrade borked a system again, i'm done with ubuntu most likely.  taking my new laptop back to lenny.
[08:31] <ubuntu_> it finished "select and install software"
[08:31] <pc|ipv6> kindofabuzz: yep
[08:31] <ubuntu_> when "cleaning up" reached 100% it did not prompt me to restart or anything like that
[08:31] <ubuntu_> hung there for about a half hour or more
[08:31] <kindofabuzz> pc|ipv6, weird, you should get something, an error, not found, something! lol
[08:31] <bobernet> ubuntu_: if it were me... i'd boot from knoppix or some other live CD, mount the disk and snoop around.  is /boot valid?  good /boot/grub/menu.lst?  /etc/fstab?  etc
[08:31] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: You can try chrooting in and installing grub
[08:31] <ubuntu_> yeah i'm actually on a the Ubuntu livecd
[08:31] <ubuntu_> doing just that
[08:32] <ubuntu_> i'll check for those things
[08:32] <kindofabuzz> ubuntu_, try the alt cd
[08:32] <ubuntu_> i'm looking in /boot right now
[08:32] <ubuntu_> there are a few files in there
[08:32] <kindofabuzz> i had the same probelm with server, alt cd worked fine
[08:32] <bobernet> ubuntu_: do you know how to chroot?
[08:32] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Be sure to try a "dpkg --configure -a" from chroot
[08:32] <ubuntu_> abi-2.6-generic, config-2.6 generic, initrd.img-generic
[08:32] <pc|ipv6> kindofabuzz: i loaded firefox in safe mode and it seems to work
[08:32] <ubuntu_> a bunch of files like that
[08:32] <ubuntu_> please explain this to me guys?
[08:32] <ubuntu_> chroot?
[08:33] <kindofabuzz> pc|ipv6, firefox -safe-mode?
[08:33] <ubuntu_> is chroot like sudo or something?
[08:33] <bobernet> ubuntu_: chroot /mnt/my_hard_drive will make that directory /
[08:33] <bobernet> ubuntu_: then you can run as if you had the hdd mounted at /
[08:33] <kindofabuzz> pc|ipv6, if it works in safe mode, then your problem is an addon or theme
[08:33] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Do you see a file named /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[08:33] <ubuntu_> so what do you guys want me to do?
[08:34] <bobernet> ubuntu_: check for menu.lst, as Jordan mentioned
[08:34] <ubuntu_> there is no folder inside /boot called /grub
[08:34] <bobernet> that's not good.
[08:34] <ubuntu_> or menu.lst
[08:34] <kevincody> two possibilities: grub is not installed, or /boot isn't mounted. is /boot entirely empty?
[08:34] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Ok, then tell me where your install partition is mounted and I will give you a few commands to try
[08:34] <pc|ipv6> kindofabuzz: the only addon is the ubuntu firefox modifications thingy
[08:35] <ubuntu_> where it's mounted/
[08:35] <ubuntu_> i think the name is sdb2 or something
[08:35] <kindofabuzz> pc|ipv6, any themes?
[08:35] <Jordan_U> kevincody: In Ubuntu there is no separate /boot
[08:35] <kevincody> Jordan_U, doesn't mean someone didn't get tinkery, unless it's a fresh install
[08:35] <bobernet> Jordan_U: there can be if you don't let it auto-partition
[08:35] <pc|ipv6> kindofabuzz: nope
[08:36] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Can you pastebin the output from "mount" in a terminal
[08:36] <ubuntu_> just type in "mount"?
[08:36] <crysis> türkçe bilen varmıs
[08:36] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Yes
[08:36] <crysis> ses sorunum varda
[08:36] <ubuntu_> alright

[08:38] <IcemanV9> farid_mov2006: this is a support channel for ubuntu (linux)
[08:38] <ubuntu_> btw i have a separate /home partifion
[08:38] <ubuntu_> that's what disk-1 is
[08:38] <kindofabuzz> lol did he just ask ubottu asl?!
[08:38] <lovinglinux> Jordan_U: thank you again. I'm leaving
[08:38] <FAJALOU> Markussss:  ask all in one line so everyone can follow please :)
[08:39] <rubydiamond> bobernet: that command " nmap -PN <IP_ADDRESS>" stops my router
[08:39] <lovinglinux> Dr_willis: thank you too
[08:39] <Markussss> Yes, I am going to do so. :)
[08:39] <rubydiamond> how can be that possible?
[08:39] <farid_mov2006> asl plz ubottu
[08:39] <zethero1> how do I set the Label of my External Hard Drive?
[08:39] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: I am guessing that Ubuntu is installed to the second partition on your hard drive?
[08:39] <kindofabuzz> LOL
[08:39] <ubuntu_> yea
[08:39] <ubuntu_> /media/disk
[08:39] <ubuntu_> /media/disk-1 is the /home partition
[08:39] <farid_mov2006> inja irani hast?
[08:39] <jimmio> Hello all, when I run recordmydesktop, it works fine... but I get a million errors...
[08:40] <bobernet> rubydiamond: if it's a good router, it might be blocking you for scanning.  ;)

[08:40] <rubydiamond> oh

[08:41] <kindofabuzz> farid_mov2006, try #lonely_idiots
[08:41] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Ok, run this "sudo mount -o bind /proc /media/disk/proc && sudo mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev && sudo chroot /media/disk"
[08:41] <ubuntu_> ok i'll do that now
[08:41] <zethero1> jimmio : there is another one .... let me see
[08:41] <farid_mov2006> chat with me
[08:41] <Gnea> farid_mov2006: please type:  /server irc.efnet.net
[08:41] <Markussss> I have installed Ubuntu on a partition with 18 GB. Nautilus tells me in "Properties" that there is about 5 GB free on the disk, but I can't save anything anywhere in the home-folder or on the desktop. Also, I have three other NTFS-partitions where I'd like to save stuff like music, movies and such, but I only get permission to read from the partitions, not write to those. How can I solve these two problems?
[08:41] <godmode117> can anyone recommend some software for .avi>DVD?
[08:42] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: hold on one second tyringit out now
[08:42] <FAJALOU> Markussss:  PM?
[08:42] <kevincody> Gnea, that's mean...
[08:42] <Markussss> Ok
[08:42] <Gnea> godmode117: avidemux, dvdauthor
[08:42] <Gnea> kevincody: is it?
[08:42] <zethero1> jimmio : Istanbul Desktop Session Recorder
[08:42] <zethero1> Gnea : what symbol?
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> pc|ipv6, did ya try a new progfile?
[08:42] <kevincody> i haven't been on efnet since back in the day, last i heard it's script kiddie central
[08:42] <godmode117> gnea: thanks, again :)
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> profile*
[08:43] <Gnea> kevincody: yes, perfect place for someone like that.
[08:43] <Kai_wp> Is it possible to change just the background color of the program boxes in the bottom bar? I know if I change the window background color they'll change, but then, ofcourse, my window background color changes too. :(
[08:43] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: it says it can't find /proc/media/disk/proc
[08:43] <kevincody> never attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance
[08:43] <BunTai> how should connect to another server using xirchat?
[08:43]  * Kai_wp wants to change the color of the boxes since it clashes with the background color of the bottom bar.
[08:43] <BunTai> help
[08:43] <Smurfslover> good morning
[08:43] <BunTai> how should i connect to another server using xirchat?
[08:44] <Smurfslover> how can i know which version of ubuntu i have
[08:44] <Gnea> Smurfslover: lsb_release -a
[08:44] <BunTai> ./server blabab.blabl.bla 6667 <-- i cant if like this
[08:44] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: You missed a space ( or I did ), did you just copy and paste the command?
[08:44] <zethero1> how do I set the Label of my External Hard Drive?
[08:44] <mindrape> BunTai - try /server irc.whatever.com:6667
[08:45] <BunTai> ok
[08:45] <Smurfslover> thx Gnea
[08:45] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: i tried it again
[08:45] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  what filesystem?  i normally use 'tune2fs' to set ones for ext3/2 fs's
[08:45] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: it did something this time
[08:45] <kevincody> anyone here write glib-based c code when they're not pitching in on user support?
[08:45] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: You are now at a shell where you can run commands on your installed system, the first I would try would be "dpkg --configure -a" ( it likely will just do nothing and exit immediately but it's a good thing to try to be safe )
[08:45] <amanulla> i wanna use vmware any suggestions pls?
[08:46] <jimmio> anything I can use to record the output of my audio card? In Windows, there's a WhatUHear...
[08:46] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: i don't know what but it did something, now the prompt is "root@ubuntu"
[08:46] <ubuntu_> oh ok cool
[08:46] <Night_XX> hi folk
[08:46] <Night_XX> I have a problem..
[08:46] <mindrape> amanulla: uhmmm... use it?  What type of suggestions are you looking for?
[08:46] <zethero1> Dr_willis, well right now its in ntfs .... but I am wondering if I should have it in another format ...
[08:46] <kevincody> NigelS_, we can't help you with empty kegs... ;)
[08:46] <kevincody> sorry that was for Night_XX
[08:46] <ubuntu_> i don't think dpkg --configure -a did anything
[08:46] <amanulla> how to install it?
[08:46] <zethero1> Dr_willis, but I suppose I'll just keep it to ntfs
[08:46] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  depends on what you are going to do with it i guess?
[08:46] <mindrape> amanulla - that isn't really a suggestion...
[08:47] <Night_XX> every time I try to boot a custom kernel I receive this: run-init: nuking initramfs contents: Directory not empty
[08:47] <amanulla> now im using xp+ubuntu 8.04 dual boot
[08:47] <mindrape> amanulla - have you tried finding a repository with it and using apt-get install ?
[08:47] <zethero1> Dr_willis, just store data ... movies etc .... shared on the network
[08:47] <amanulla> no
[08:47] <zethero1> Dr_willis: is there a format that is particularly performant?
[08:47] <farid> i first chat with program{opera}plz help me
[08:47] <Night_XX> and then a kernel panic that says something like this "attempting to kill init process"
[08:47] <amanulla> i dont know how to install
[08:47] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Ok, I don't really remember how to install grub so bear with me ( and you might consider just re-installing, it's almost certainly easier :)
[08:47] <Night_XX> what's wrong??
[08:47] <mindrape> amanulla - man apt-get
[08:47] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  I tend to set up my samba shares to use ext3. You could use ntfs I imagine.. or ntfs-3g
[08:48] <amanulla> before i install i need how it will be after installtion
[08:48] <farid> help me
[08:48] <amanulla> do i have to face any problems?
[08:48] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: You can try "apt-get install grub" but I am pretty sure that alone won't do it
[08:48] <mindrape> amanulla - we can't predict the future.
[08:48] <farid>  :(
[08:48] <kevincody> Dr_willis, amanulla, for whatever it's worth, xfs is also popular on large samba shares
[08:48] <zethero1> Dr_willis, ntfs-3g?
[08:48] <Night_XX> noone can help me?
[08:48] <farid> chat with me
[08:48] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: what's the point of reinstalling when there's a good chance the installer will just crash again?
[08:48] <Jordan_U> amanulla: You can get a pretty good idea from the liveCD
[08:48] <FAJALOU> farid:  what is your question?
[08:49] <wols_> ubuntu_: grub-install or setup at the grub prompts
[08:49] <amanulla> Jordan_U:what idea?
[08:49] <ubuntu_> wols how should i do that?
[08:49] <Dr_willis> !ntfs-3g | zethero1
[08:49] <amanulla> kevincody:what is xfs?
[08:49] <ubuntu_> wols: how should i do grub-install is a better question actually
[08:49] <Jordan_U> wols_: Will that also generate the menu.list ( this is a failed install he is trying to get working )
[08:49] <farid> nothing
[08:49] <kevincody> amanulla, i think ibm developed it. a unix filesystem, different under the hood than ext3, but similar in usage
[08:49] <farid> plz chat with me
[08:50] <wols_> Jordan_U: update-grub will to a degree
[08:50] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: There is an alternate ( text menu based ) installer that will likely not have the same problem
[08:50] <bazhang> farid this is not the chat channel
[08:50] <leo_away> !ot | farid
[08:50] <bazhang> farid this is ubuntu support.
[08:50] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: i used the text menu based installer
[08:50] <wols_> ubuntu_: how to do it depends on yourpartition layout
[08:50] <zethero1> Dr_willis, ah yes .... so as it being NTFS  ... how can I set the label... cause right now it just has some generic name to the mounted volume
[08:50] <farid> i cant understand whats ur mean?
[08:50] <bazhang> amanulla, use virtualbox. it is in the repos. sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[08:50] <ubuntu_> wols: well here is my partition layout: http://pastie.org/263022
[08:50] <amanulla> finally what i need is to acees xp from ubuntu with out rebooting
[08:51] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  i would set it in windows..if you really need to set the label.. if you want to set it up as a sama share you will want to mount it from fstab. so the label wont matter
[08:51] <bazhang> farid what is your native language
[08:51] <amanulla> im running both xp,ubuntu8 dual boot now
[08:51] <farid> FAJALOU chat with me
[08:51] <bazhang> farid not here.
[08:51] <mindrape> amanulla - you can mount the NTFS partition if you want to read/write files to the XP partition.
[08:51] <ubuntu_> wols: /media/disk is the / partition
[08:51] <wols_> !tell amanulla about ntfs3g
[08:51] <ubuntu_> and /media/disk-1 is the /home partition
[08:51] <zethero1> Dr_willis: I usually just share the folders I want to share manually ....
[08:51] <farid> im here
[08:51] <farid> my loungouge persian
[08:52] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  err.. thats still using samba..  depends on the specifics i guess.
[08:52] <bazhang> !ir
[08:52] <Jordan_U> wols_: Just so you know I have him in a chroot right now with /proc and /dev mounted
[08:52]  * LSD|Ninja wishes peopel would get over the idea that pidgin is in any way a substitute for a real IRC client
[08:52] <bazhang> farid /join #ubuntu-ir
[08:52] <wols_> Jordan_U: that's nice but not what his paste says
[08:52] <farid> schejori join besham
[08:52] <mindrape> LSD|Ninja: well those same "peopel" probably wish you could spell people properly.
[08:52] <farid> man avalin barama inja chat mekonam
[08:52] <zethero1> Dr_willis: ... well I don't have a Windows environment to use ...
[08:52] <bazhang> farid: type /join #ubuntu-ir
[08:53] <leo_away> LSD|Ninja: kopete then?
[08:53] <amanulla> mindrape:ya i can read or write but i want to use xp and its applications  within ubuntu  as usual im in xp can i?
[08:53] <farid> koja type konam
[08:53] <Jordan_U> wols_: That was a paste I asked him to make before getting him chrooted
[08:53] <wols_> amanulla: you can't
[08:53] <farid> bazhang to farsi baladi
[08:53] <farid> irani nist
[08:53] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  err.. if you have no windows at all.. then why use ntfs at all? set up nfs for MUCH faster 'shares' then samba will do.
[08:53] <bazhang> !ir | farid
[08:53] <amanulla> wols_:so for what is vmware?
[08:53] <mindrape> amanulla - you can potentially install wine and run those Windows apps from within Linux.  If you install VMWare its going to build a virtual machine... not quite the same as booting both partitions at the same time.  :)
[08:53] <wols_> farid: stop talking farsi. this is an english ONLY channel. join ubuntu-ir
[08:54] <farid> ok
[08:54] <Kai_wp> Does anyone know how to change the color of the blocks in the bottom bar without changing your windows' background color? http://aspergercolony.com/Blocks.png < These blocks :P
[08:54] <farid> why icant speak persian at room
[08:54] <amanulla> mindrape:what is wine?
[08:54] <Dr_willis> farid,  this is a english room. for starters.
[08:54] <ubuntu_> wols_ and Jordan_U got any ideas?
[08:54] <farid> ok
[08:54] <leo_away> amanulla: wine is not an emulator
[08:54] <farid> i understand
[08:54] <mindrape> farid - English.  For your language there is a very specific channel for it.  Read what people tell you.
[08:55] <bazhang> !wine | amanulla
[08:55] <zethero1> Dr_willis, well ... there are instances where may have to plug it into someones Windows machine ... heh
[08:55] <zethero1> Dr_willis , what is nfs?
[08:55] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  there are tools that lets windows read/write  ext2/3 filesystems. :)
[08:55] <bazhang> !nfs > zethero1
[08:55] <ubuntu_> btw when i tried to do apt-get install grub it told me to "media change" insert ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron disk...
[08:55] <amanulla> can i install wine in ubuntu easily?
[08:55] <bazhang> amanulla, yes
[08:56] <ubuntu_> which doesnt make much sense because i'm running the ubuntu 8.04 live cd right now
[08:56] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  a better way to share 'files' between unix/linux machines then samba
[08:56] <mindrape> amanulla - pull up a command line and type      man apt-get
[08:56] <mindrape> !apt-get | amanulla
[08:56] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Remember, you are running these commands from your installed system
[08:56] <kamoljan> Hi :). I am trying to run this command: awk '{print $6 $7 $8;}' 20080829.log
[08:56] <kamoljan> it gives error: awk: cannot open 20080829.log (Value too large for defined data type)
[08:57] <amanulla> mindrape:then what to do?
[08:57] <zethero1> Dr_willis, what about reiserfs?
[08:57] <mindrape> amanulla - read.
[08:57] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: so what should i try?
[08:57] <Boon> hey does any1 here know how to solve a problem with Ubunutu 8.04 involing Login screen flickering?
[08:57] <kamoljan> how to fix it?
[08:57] <zethero1> Dr_willis: I heard it was really good ... but then some ppl say its not so good ...
[08:57] <Boon> yea
[08:57] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  what about it.. :)  go research it.. I dont think it will benifit you at all.
[08:57] <Boon> how to fix it
[08:57] <bazhang> zethero1, use ext3
[08:57] <mindrape> amanulla - ever hear the saying "Give a man a fish and teach him for a day.  Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime."  ?
[08:57] <amanulla> no
[08:58] <kindofabuzz> what? where you been?
[08:58] <mindrape> amanulla - we can sit here and walk you through the very basics of package management and Ubuntu.  There is a little bit of work on your end that you have to do (ie; READING)
[08:58] <leo_away> zethero1: the development of reiserfs has stopped for the time being due to hans reiser's imprisonment
[08:58] <amanulla> what does it mean?
[08:58] <Dr_willis> mindrape,  a bit of a typo in there... :)
[08:58] <kindofabuzz> think about it
[08:58] <LSD|Ninja> zethero1: you aren't married are you?
[08:58] <amanulla> ok
[08:58] <zethero1> leo_away, you serious?>
[08:58] <mindrape> amanulla - it means that if we just give you answers you will be back every day for answers.  If we teach you how to find answers you wont be back to ask basic questions that are obvious and very easy to find.
[08:58] <leo_away> zethero1: he killed his wife
[08:58] <zethero1>  LSD|Ninja, why?
[08:58] <kindofabuzz> means if you actully learn to fish you can feed yourself instead of someone feeding you
[08:58] <Boon> any1 knwo how to fix meine probliem?
[08:58] <bazhang> leo_away, that is not important here
[08:59] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: run "nano /etc/apt/sources.lst" it should open a text file in a terminal based editor
[08:59] <Dr_willis> Linux Tip #1 - 'learn how to learn' :)
[08:59] <amanulla> ok im new to ubuntu before i used xp
[08:59] <zethero1> leo_away, WHAT? ...
[08:59] <kindofabuzz> be willing to learn
[08:59] <LSD|Ninja> zethero1: reiserfs is fine until you come home and discover your wife missing. No wife, no problem :)
[08:59] <bazhang> !ot
[08:59] <amanulla> i hope i will learn what you say
[08:59] <amanulla> thank u
[08:59] <leo_away> bazhang: i was telling him about reiserfs not being developed anymore, i think it makes sense to explain why
[08:59] <mindrape> amanulla - that is fine.  Maybe you should go to ubuntu.com and read the beginners manual first to get some bearings?
[08:59] <kamoljan> I am trying to run this command: awk '{print $6 $7 $8;}' 20080829.log .  it gives error: awk: cannot open 20080829.log (Value too large for defined data type)
[08:59] <bazhang> take offtopic elsewhere
[08:59] <zethero1> LSD|Ninja, ugh
[09:00] <leo_away> zethero1: it is a good filesystem but unless someone decides to continue developing then it won't improve over time
[09:00] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: should i do that from the chrooted shell?
[09:00] <kindofabuzz> i think there is a reiser2
[09:00] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U: also, i just did that from the chrooted shell and the file seemed more or less empty
[09:00] <Boon> thats what she said
[09:00] <kindofabuzz> or 3?
[09:00] <kindofabuzz> lol
[09:00] <Boon> lol
[09:01] <bazhang> !lol > Boon
[09:01] <Dr_willis> kamoljan,  you might want to check an awk tutorial.. sonmthing looks wrong about that line.. but i aint awk'ed in years...  sounds like its trying to load the .log as a script
[09:01] <zethero1>  Dr_willis, so there is no way in Ubuntu to set the Label to an NTFS drive?
[09:01] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Are there any commented lines? ( or just pastebin it )
[09:01] <kindofabuzz> oh yeah no laughing allowed in this room =(
[09:01] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  proberly is..  there ntfstools in the repos..
[09:01] <Boon> bots?? argh
[09:01] <Boon> so annoying
[09:01] <zethero1>  Dr_willis, ok... will look that up ... thanks
[09:01] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  this is linux.. thers always a way :) normally
[09:02] <zethero1>  Dr_willis, too true
[09:02] <kindofabuzz> there's probably 10 ways
[09:02] <ubuntu_> Jordan-U: there's very literally nothing in it
[09:02] <leo_away> zethero1: maybe you can change the name of the partition with gparted
[09:02] <mindrape> zethero1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive#NTFS
[09:02] <jtaji> zethero1: ntfslabel, in the ntfsprogs package
[09:02] <ubuntu_> oh waait
[09:02] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Are you sure you got the path correct?
[09:02] <kamoljan> Dr_willis: yes, it is for take uniq IP from access.log file
[09:02] <kindofabuzz> yeah gparted you can set labels
[09:02] <ubuntu_> Jordan_U there is a sources.list.d
[09:02] <ubuntu_> but no sources.lst
[09:02] <ubuntu_> also there is a sources.list
[09:03] <ubuntu_> and there is tons of crap in the sources.list
[09:03] <Dr_willis> kamoljan,  shouldent the log/data get piped to the awk script?  to help much more id have to go find a awk tutoruial/examples
[09:03] <greenman> Anyone know why I can see networks, but when I join nothing happens?
[09:03] <zethero1> Dr_willis, cannot find ntfstools in the repos
[09:03] <Boon> so can any1 help me with Ubuntu 8.04 problem? pm me
[09:03] <bazhang> ubuntu_, put to paste.ubuntu.com
[09:03] <greenman> Where would I look to see what's happening?
[09:03] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  i wouls day check the package manager search for 'ntfs'
[09:03] <wols_> greenman: logs
[09:03] <kindofabuzz> Boon, just ask in here, that's what this channel is for
[09:03] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  or search for  ntfslabel
[09:03] <greenman> wols_: which ones?  I'm not sure where to look.
[09:03] <Dr_willis> !find ntfslabel
[09:03] <ubuntu_> bazhang: this is fmike from yesterday, just so ya know.
[09:04] <kamoljan> Dr_willis: ok, I will try
[09:04] <zethero1> Dr_willis, there is ntfsprogs
[09:04] <bazhang> ubuntu_, what was your issue again?
[09:04] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  sounds like a winner...
[09:04] <Dr_willis> linux tip #1 - after learnign to learn... learn to think :)
[09:04] <ubuntu_> bazhang: last night my issue was that the livecd installer wasn't working
[09:04] <zethero1> Dr_willis, ntfslabel ... not there
[09:04] <Dr_willis> oops thats #2 heh.
[09:04] <ubuntu_> now my issue is that the text based installer didn't complete installing
[09:04] <kindofabuzz> learn to spell learning Dr_willis =)
[09:04] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  <ubottu> File ntfslabel found in ntfsprogs
[09:05] <Dr_willis> kindofabuzz,  thats what spellcheckers are for
[09:05] <ubuntu_> bazhang and Jordan_U : http://pastie.org/263031
[09:05] <zethero1> Dr_willis, ok... so this would be done then through a Terminal ...
[09:05] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  they are command line tools.. correct.
[09:05] <Kiyiko> Rhythembox: does the last.fm plugin, remember everything you listen to, while offline, and update it to the site...or only the songs from last time you run it, and restarts every time it closes
[09:06] <zethero1> mindrape, thanks for that link ...!
[09:06] <bazhang> Kiyiko, sounds like a bug.
[09:06] <Kiyiko> lol
[09:06] <Kiyiko> its not an issue.........
[09:06] <Kiyiko> its a general question
[09:07] <greenman> I get a link becomes ready and then duplicate address detected.  I've never had a problem with dhcp before.
[09:07] <Kiyiko> while offline, does it remember everything you listen to, or restart, every time you open the program
[09:07] <bazhang> Kiyiko, you have not tried yet?
[09:07] <kindofabuzz> Kiyiko, i think you have to be online for it to work, i don't think it's even 'on' until you're online
[09:07] <Kiyiko> well..........
[09:07] <Kiyiko> one time i was offline
[09:07] <Kiyiko> and it stored it
[09:07] <kindofabuzz> at band camp?
[09:08] <kindofabuzz> it may do so, dunno
[09:09] <ubuntu_> did everyone who was helping me leave/
[09:10] <nnull> anyone know why firefox would show up in firestarter instead of firefox-bin ?
[09:10] <bazhang> ubuntu_, no
[09:10] <veyne> anyone have a link to a list of up to date repositories for ubuntu/gnome specific?
[09:10] <bazhang> veyne, hang on
[09:10] <bazhang> http://aphroneo.net/sources.list veyne
[09:10] <veyne> thx much
[09:11] <mnowluck> what is this http://paste.ubuntu.com all about?
[09:11] <FAJALOU> !paste
[09:11] <Flannel> mnowluck: its a pastebin, so you don't flood the channel
[09:11] <mnowluck> Oh okay thanks
[09:12] <amanulla> can we play .wmv files in windows
[09:12] <bazhang> amanulla, in windows?
[09:12] <kindofabuzz> wmv is windows
[09:12] <Dr_willis> amanulla,  playing a file depends on the codec of the file... not really its extension
[09:12] <sauvin> there are in fact wmv files you can play in windows that cannot yet be played in linux.
[09:12] <Friendly_hazard> quick question, how do i get my external hard drives to show up?
[09:12] <amanulla> ya sorry  in ubuntu
[09:13] <mindrape> Friendly_hazard: USB?
[09:13] <ubuntu_> bazhang: did you come up w/ anything new?
[09:13] <bazhang> amanulla, some yes, some not
[09:13] <amanulla> can we play .wmv files in ubuntu
[09:13] <Dr_willis> there are in fact wmv files that contain viruses.. :) or are in codecs that  try to auto-download nasty stuff on your windows box also
[09:13] <mindrape> amanulla - yes with mplayer or vlc.
[09:13] <Dr_willis> amanulla,  depends on the specific codec of the wmv file.
[09:13] <mnowluck> I want to install Windows XP inside my UBUNTU at home.. so what virtual machine do you suggest I should use?
[09:13] <sauvin> mmmm... don't you just LOVE MS? :)
[09:13] <EXT4> vlc is really good
[09:13] <Dr_willis> mnowluck,  virtualbox has gotten very good.
[09:13] <_numbers_> ms = shyt
[09:13] <amanulla> but i can hear only sound but no video on vlc
[09:14] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape yes
[09:14] <mnowluck> Thanks Dr_willis :)
[09:14] <mnowluck> Have a nice day...
[09:14] <bazhang> ubuntu_, disable the cdrom as a source
[09:14] <Dr_willis> amanulla,  then you proberly need to install the proper codec packages
[09:14] <amanulla> how can i?
[09:14] <EXT4> yea
[09:14] <Dr_willis> !w32codecs
[09:14] <ubuntu_> bazhang should i comment it out?
[09:14] <Dr_willis> amanulla,  install the w32codecs package from the medibuntu repository  see the bot url it just gave
[09:14]  * SplItz is away: I'm busy
[09:15] <Flannel> !away > SplItz
[09:15] <bazhang> ubuntu_, cli gskudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of it then save and sudo apt-get update and try again
[09:15] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape yes i use usb
[09:16] <quatar-it> hi all. I want to create an hidden folder that, even discovered by someone using my login, could be listed only if the password is provided again. Idem: the files inside need the same treatment. Note: i'm the only user, hence i've the root passsword
[09:16] <mindrape> Friendly_hazard - well you can lspci and dmesg and see if they are loaded as well as lsmod
[09:16] <ubuntu_> ok i just put the # in front of it
[09:16] <ubuntu_> bazhang; now i shoulddo 'sudo apt-get update'?
[09:16] <bazhang> ubuntu_, now save and update
[09:16] <Friendly_hazard> uhhh wut?
[09:16] <ubuntu_> i saved it
[09:16] <amanulla> Dr_willis: where i s url?
[09:16] <ubuntu_> ok i just did sudo apt-get update
[09:16] <mindrape> Friendly_hazard - you plug them in and they dont get recognized I take it?
[09:16] <Dr_willis> amanulla,  the bot printed it out a few lines above where i replied
[09:16] <ubuntu_> now it's done updateing
[09:17] <Friendly_hazard> pretty much
[09:17] <bazhang> ubuntu_, that should fix it
[09:17] <Dr_willis> !medibuntu | amanulla
[09:17] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape pretty much
[09:17] <mindrape> Friendly_hazard - Friendly_hazard well plug one in and turn it on and try typing lspci at a commandline then dmesg
[09:17] <ubuntu_> bazhang: i'm trying to install grub now
[09:17] <ubuntu_> seems to be working
[09:17] <mindrape> use SHIFT + PGUP to scroll up through the output.
[09:17] <mindrape> it should give an error if there are issues.
[09:17] <ubuntu_> bazhang it's done installing grub, what now?
[09:18] <jeeves__> how do I resize a NTFS partition in GParted?
[09:18] <mindrape> if not then run lsmod and see if it maybe isn't loading the right modules...
[09:18] <xse> Hello
[09:18] <quatar-it> my question above sounds so easy to answer... unlkely there is no one who can..
[09:18] <bazhang> ubuntu_, installing grub? what do you mean? can you not boot from a dual boot one os?
[09:18] <_numbers_> wish i didnt have to use sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* to empty the trash :/
[09:18] <xse> so bye all
[09:18] <ubuntu_> well i can't boot from the drive right now
[09:19] <ubuntu_> i don't know why
[09:19] <ubuntu_> the installation didn't complete
[09:19] <bazhang> ubuntu_, what error does it give you
[09:19] <Flannel> quatar-it: Try using GPG to encrypt them.  Regular permissions won't help against your own user (or a liveCD, etc)
[09:19] <Friendly_hazard> anything specific i should be looking for?
[09:19] <Friendly_hazard> i got a large amount of text\
[09:19] <ubuntu_> bazhang, it finished installing programs and stuff, but when it was done cleaning up, it just stopped there
[09:19] <ubuntu_> it hung at 100% finished
[09:19] <bazhang> _numbers_, dont type that command here
[09:19] <quatar-it> flannel: can't i make root the owner of that file?
[09:20] <ubuntu_> i have a few files in my /boot folder
[09:20] <ubuntu_> not sure what they do
[09:20] <kindofabuzz> what's the md5 checker command?
[09:20] <quatar-it> flannel: so, as when i run an apt-get, it will ask for a password?
[09:20] <bazhang> ubuntu_, you are on live cd now?
[09:20] <mindrape> md5sum
[09:20] <Flannel> quatar-it: You don't have the 'root' password, you use sudo, but sure, if you wanted to chown them to root, although that seems sort of odd.
[09:20] <kindofabuzz> k thnks
[09:20] <ubuntu_> yea bazhang i'm on livecd
[09:20] <_numbers_> bazhang is that cmd a bad thing to use ?
[09:21] <bazhang> _numbers_, you know it is. dont discuss here.
[09:21] <xess> Any body got and knowledge on TV tuners? Are they hard to set up?
[09:21] <_numbers_> you know it is? no i didnt actually
[09:21] <bazhang> ubuntu_, when you boot from hdd what error do you get
[09:21] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape anything specific i should be looking for?
[09:21] <quatar-it> Flannel: i'll try gpg, ok. is third party?
[09:21] <quatar-it> party's?
[09:21] <mindrape> Friendly_hazard - anything that looks like your USB storage device...
[09:21] <kindofabuzz> how would you tell someone to delete stuff other than that command?
[09:21] <bazhang> quatar-it, no is in repos
[09:21] <jeeves__> Flannel, hey man, long time no chat
[09:22] <ubuntu_> i dont really get an error bazhang
[09:22] <ubuntu_> it just didn't work, and it booted into windows
[09:22] <Flannel> quatar-it: Its likely already installed.  What are you trying to do?  That might not be the best way, although it would work.
[09:22] <ubuntu_> when i partitioned, i set the bootable flag
[09:22] <bazhang> kindofabuzz, you cd to the directory and do it there.
[09:22] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape Last time i installed ubuntu, i stumbled across an option to have them on my desktop but i dont remember what i did
[09:22] <quatar-it> flannel: so.. how to?? i don't know where to start..
[09:23] <quatar-it> i already have an hidden folder
[09:23] <Dr_willis> quatar-it,  just because it has a . in the name dosent really make it hidden ya know?
[09:23] <quatar-it> can i put it under gpg using nautilus? need shell?
[09:24] <quatar-it> Dr_willis: i'm here to ask how to make it really hidden and protected!
[09:24] <ero> quit
[09:24] <Flannel> quatar-it: Is this an oft-used folder? or more of a stored for later sort of thing? or what?
[09:24] <Dr_willis> quatar-it,  use some of the 'fuse' encrypted filesystem tools is one way to  somthing like that.
[09:24] <Kai_wp> Does anyone know how to change the color of the blocks in the bottom bar without changing your windows' background color? http://aspergercolony.com/Blocks.png < These blocks :P
[09:25] <mindrape> Kai_wp - it all depends on your window manager... that option might not be available.
[09:25] <mindrape> Kai_wp - you using KDE or Gnome?  If so it might make sense to ask in those respective channels.
[09:25] <Dr_willis> Kai_wp,  looks like you are refering to the panel background colors
[09:25] <bazhang> ubuntu_, so you can boot successfully? what is the error message if not.
[09:25] <quatar-it> Flannel: often used
[09:25] <veyne> is there a command to list incoming/outgoing connections?
[09:25] <ubuntu_> there is no error message
[09:25] <mindrape> Kai_wp - this is more of an operating system support channel, not so much around specific configuration issues around daemons or window managers.. ie; if you want mysql or apache help go to those channels.
[09:25] <ubuntu_> instead of booting to ubuntu
[09:25] <ubuntu_> it just boots to windows
[09:25] <Kai_wp> Dr_willis: Ah, I thought there was a name for them. I suppose I'll ask in #Gnome then. :)
[09:25] <geev> which command is used to check kennel version
[09:26] <Killeroid> Kai_wp: if you use gnome, then edit the panel.rc of your theme
[09:26] <mindrape> uname -ar
[09:26] <FAJALOU> hi  a friend's login is saying that there is no $HOME directory, so it logs in with /, how can this be fixed?
[09:26] <bazhang> ubuntu_, windows was installed second?
[09:26] <Flannel> quatar-it: Well, you'll be happy to know this feature will be standard on installs in intrepid, although that doesn't really help you now.
[09:26] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape Last time i installed ubuntu, i stumbled across an option to have them (externals) on my desktop but i dont remember what i did
[09:26] <Dr_willis> FAJALOU,  make a /home/UsersName and chown it to be owned by the user.
[09:26] <ubuntu_> bazhang: windows isn't even on the same drive
[09:26] <ubuntu_> also, i was using the one-time boot menu
[09:26] <FAJALOU> Dr_willis: how can this be created?
[09:26] <ubuntu_> from bios
[09:26] <mindrape> Friendly_hazard - well there is probably a daemon you can run that will watch for them then mount them for Gnome and KDE respectively.
[09:26] <tv7497> guys could you help me with this well if any one tries to access my home page it go to my router thats horrible right it was perfectly working till i reinstalled mysql  http://tv.kicks-ass.org or http://tv.kicks-ass.org/index.html its properly port forwarded i guess i even port forwarded it yesterday to port 80 but it let me on 8080 as port 80 was in use mine is an asdl2 router
[09:26] <bazhang> ubuntu_, dual boot yea or nay
[09:26] <Dr_willis> FAJALOU,  its just a directory you make same as any other directory.
[09:27] <FAJALOU> mkdir /home/Markus  ?
[09:27] <Dr_willis> FAJALOU,  sudo mkdir /home/theusername
[09:27] <ubuntu_> well it depends on the definition of dual boot
[09:27] <ubuntu_> windows is on a different drive than ubuntu
[09:27] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape: anything simpler?
[09:27] <Dr_willis> FAJALOU,  lowercase i imagine
[09:27] <bazhang> ubuntu_, good luck then
[09:27] <FAJALOU> ok
[09:27] <ubuntu_> also, windows was installed first
[09:27] <mindrape> Friendly_hazard: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-443791.html
[09:27] <nnull> is eth1 used for wireless or?
[09:27] <bazhang> ubuntu_, /msg ubottu grub on how to fix that
[09:28] <kiiwii77> quit
[09:28] <mindrape> nnull - sudo iwconfig will show you the wireless interface
[09:28] <ubuntu_> ok bazhang
[09:28] <nnull> mindrape, i have no wireless hardware tho?
[09:28] <mindrape> nnull - it can vary... eth1, wlan0, etc.
[09:28] <mindrape> nnull - then you will probably just see lo...
[09:28] <_numbers_> ubuntu_ if windows was installed first and you install ubuntu on second drive just install the grub at end of install to boot either ubuntu or windows
[09:28] <nnull> loopback?
[09:28] <mindrape> yup.
[09:29] <nnull> just in firestarter theres no LAN, its all running thru eth0
[09:29] <FAJALOU> Dr_willis: it says that /home/markus already exists... so i told him to chown it and chmod it with 700 is that correct?
[09:30] <mindrape> FAJALOU: it might make sense to ls -al the directory and see who the owner and group are...
[09:30] <mindrape> you may have to chown it.
[09:30] <agent> on boot, my hard drives are switched around in grub... after modifying hdX,Y and getting grub to boot up, fdisk and grub both show the correct drive number... what could cause the mixup at boot up (grub menu)?
[09:30] <Dr_willis> FAJALOU,  sounds about right.. not sure on the mode.
[09:30] <Friendly_hazard> mindrape: nvm i just replugged them in and now its showing up
[09:30] <Friendly_hazard> thanks
[09:30] <FAJALOU> Dr_willis: i think that 700 is right...
[09:30] <nnull> !selinux
[09:30] <FAJALOU> Dr_willis: pm?
[09:31] <ubuntu_> bazhang; i don't think this ubottu thing is going to help me much
[09:31] <kindofabuzz> agent, you could have your hard drives booting in the wrong order in your BIOS, it happened to me before
[09:31] <Dr_willis> FAJALOU,  do a ls -l and look at the owner/permissions I guess
[09:31] <FAJALOU> Dr_willis:  he's logging back in and then out, so he will be back in a second,,,
[09:31] <pajamian> FAJALOU: all that matters is that it's 7-something.  700 is fine unless you want other users to be able to access files in your home directory (wometimes that's needed)
[09:33] <agent> kindofabuzz, possibly... but i do have the physically first drive boot first, which is also the drive that has my two operating systems.. so booting that first is correct (i think)
[09:33] <kindofabuzz> agent, my problem was i kept getting OS not found, switched boot order and BIOS and it worked, just a thought
[09:34] <_numbers_> kindofabuzz yeah that can happen after a fresh install
[09:34] <agent> kindofabuzz, ok... will try that thanks :)
[09:35] <_numbers_> swap drive order in bios will most likely help you agent
[09:36] <Kai_wp> Er, where would I ask a question specificly about gnome then?
[09:36] <mindrape> probably in #gnome
[09:36] <_numbers_> lol
[09:36] <Dr_willis> Kai_wp,  here or #gnome
[09:36] <mindrape> or #gtk if you want a developer
[09:36] <nnull> can console-kit-daemon be killed? ive got like 25 of them running for some reason
[09:36] <mindrape> pretty much any process can be killed.
[09:37] <kindofabuzz> why not just ask here? gnome is more on topic than alot of questions that are asked here
[09:37] <mindrape> kill -15 first then if it wont die you can murder it with kill -9
[09:37] <mindrape> ps aux | grep "console"
[09:37] <mindrape> get the PID and kill that.
[09:38] <nnull> mindrape, i know HOW to kill it, wondering if its being used by something that will cause ill effects upon me closing  it :s
[09:38] <Dr_willis> nnull,  you could restart the service.. that will ask it to close nicely and restart.
[09:38] <mindrape> nnull - well I imagine if multiple processes are needed (similar to apache) you can kill 1 off and the manager daemon will re-spawn new ones as necessary
[09:38] <Dr_willis> if its a service... :)
[09:39] <mindrape> I've only got 1 running nnull...
[09:39] <mindrape> maybe you have zombies?
[09:39] <nnull> just wondering why ive got 25+ in the first place, ive googled, some others have this problem but no responses for them
[09:39] <ubuntu_> why can't i install grub on my drive?
[09:40] <ubuntu_> i'm getting the error "sdb2 doesn't have any corresponding BIOS drive"
[09:40] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  could be the /boot/grub/device.map has a invalid entry for sdb err.. you normally DONT put grub on sdb2. but on the mbr of the drive (ie sdb)
[09:41] <pajamian> nnull: from what  I have gathered in googling for it in the past is that it does serve a purpose but it's not critical, you should be able to safely disable it if it's giving you problems.
[09:41] <nnull> hmm
[09:41] <ubuntu_> well i put in "/sbin/grub-install /dev/sdb"
[09:41] <ubuntu_> and that's the error i got
[09:41] <nnull> its not giving me problems, just looks scary in htop lol
[09:41] <pajamian> nnull: hehehe, I can understand that.
[09:42] <wols_> ubuntu_: no device.map entry
[09:42] <pajamian> nnull: I would leave it alone unless it's actually causing problems, though
[09:42] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  you could do a 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what drives are there/seen could be they got reorganized. also
[09:42] <nnull> each one is using 0.1% of my ram tho :O :F
[09:42] <ubuntu_> i think wolds_ is right on this one
[09:42] <nnull> yea agreed i guess :x
[09:42] <ubuntu_> wols_ do you mind if i message you?
[09:42] <wols_> yes
[09:43] <ubuntu_> ok sorry
[09:43] <wols_> ubuntu_: what is your sda?
[09:43] <amanulla> how to enable hipernate option in my system?
[09:43] <ubuntu_> sda has windows on it, that's all
[09:43] <wols_> ubuntu_: you still need to install grub to its MBR
[09:44] <ubuntu_> ok
[09:44] <ubuntu_> is this a "safe" thing to do?
[09:44] <ubuntu_> i don't want to jeopardize the files on that drive
[09:44] <wols_> grub needs to be installed on the first disk's MBR. the one BIOS boots from
[09:45] <ubuntu_> wols_ i think i understand, but i'm just wondering is this safe to do if i haven't backed up my files on that drive?
[09:45] <davidw> hey dudes - what's a good package for editing simple avi files?  Just want to edit some videos of our daughter to put them on flickr for the relatives
[09:45] <wols_> nothing is ever safe. and if you haven't backed up a file. this file is not important
[09:45] <wols_> either you have backups or you can afford to lose it
[09:45] <ubuntu_> yeah i can't afford to lose my windows install right now
[09:46] <wols_> ubuntu_: do you have a backup?
[09:46] <ubuntu_> i have a backup hard drive but i havent backed up windows yet
[09:46] <davidw> I see kino, openmovieeditor, and some gstreamer thing .... pitivi, avidemux
[09:46] <wols_> `then you lied. you can afford to lose ALL your data
[09:46] <ubuntu_> i've been worried about getting ubuntu to work
[09:46] <pajamian> ubuntu_: there is a command to restore the mbr for windows that you can run from windows (like a windows boot disk), so is it safe, I would say so, but I won't take responsibility if you try it and loose your files.
[09:46] <wols_> ubuntu_: un backuped data is worthless as shown by lack of backup
[09:47] <Markus> Hi
[09:47] <ubuntu_> so is it possible to dual boot without installing GRUB, or no?
[09:47] <mindrape> you can use whatever boot loader you want.
[09:47] <kindofabuzz> yes but youd need a boot manager
[09:47] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  you could use lilo. or some other multi-boot loader
[09:47] <pajamian> ubuntu_: to dual boot you need some sort of boot manager that can handle it, be it grub or lilo or something else.
[09:48] <kindofabuzz> super grub disk!
[09:48] <amanulla>  i want to enable hipernate option in ubuntu what to do?
[09:48] <ubuntu_> alright might as well take the risk
[09:48] <mindrape> is that like hibernating but more quickly?
[09:48] <Markus> hi
[09:48] <_numbers_> ubuntu_ unless you want to go into bios on every reboot then yes
[09:48] <pajamian> ubuntu_: I do highly recommend backing up any important files you have, just to be safe.
[09:49] <mindrape> amanulla: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/hibernate-ubuntu-355177/
[09:50] <ubuntu_> pajamian, my files aren't important because i didn't back them up
[09:50] <ubuntu_> therefore i should not back them up
[09:50] <Dr_willis> 'logical captian'
[09:50] <_numbers_> lol
[09:50] <ckyle> it's like hibernating after 5 lattes
[09:50] <ckyle> hipernating
[09:50] <Dr_willis> makes one wonder why you had any files in the first place.
[09:50] <_numbers_> lmao
[09:50] <ubuntu_> dr willis that's a good point
[09:50] <ubuntu_> i think i'm going to delete my files
[09:51] <ubuntu_> that way i won't have to worry about whether or not they are destroyed by some accident
[09:51] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  thats safest! just take the whole PC to theyard and bury it!
[09:51] <adam7> sorry
[09:51] <ubuntu_> not a bad plan Doc!
[09:51] <ubuntu_> be back when i get a new computer!
[09:51] <ubuntu_> hahaha
[09:52] <Dr_willis> 'rocks and boulders will be fine'
[09:52] <ckyle> Anyone know of an IRC channel for C or GTK+ programming ?
[09:52] <ubuntu_> Dr_willis: if i run the one-time boot menu from BIOS, then select the drive with Ubuntu installed, it should load ubuntu right?
[09:52] <ubuntu_> as long as the drive has the bootable flag
[09:52] <Friendly_hazard> if it tells me ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode because it cant detect my screen or video card correctly, does that mean i need to reinstall video card drivers?
[09:52] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  normally one has grub on the booting drive also.
[09:52] <Markus> On my Ubuntu, I don't have access to /home, so I can't login or anything. Is there anyone who know how such a problem may be fixed?
[09:52] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  ive done it that way befor to keep windows/linux totally seperte
[09:52] <xess> Any body got any experince on using a tv tuner. I think I have mine installed right but I am not sure how to use it.
[09:52] <sauvin> ckyle, there is a ##c channel on this net, but it's not a particularly benign place for newbies.
[09:53] <ubuntu_> so that should work?
[09:53] <ubuntu_> then damn, my install is fcked up!
[09:53] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  i still had grub on the 2nd hd.
[09:53] <ubuntu_> doc, now you're confusing me
[09:53] <ubuntu_> where u using grub, or where u using the one-time boot menu?
[09:53] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  i would seelct hd2 in the bios boot screen.. it booted loading grub...   which then loaded linux
[09:53] <firefox> hi

[10:44] <vassler> no, i click 'empty trash' and still the trash icon doesn't change.
[10:44] <Ziroday> jeeves__: you start gparted up and use the resize option
[10:44] <newbie> ya Ziroday
[10:45] <sint> hey, how to clear out downloaded packages from apt?
[10:45] <jeeves__> Ziroday, I launch it (sudo gparted), I can see the partition, but the resize function is greyed out
[10:45] <Ziroday> newbie: http://lifehacker.com/software/linux-tip/gently-restart-a-frozen-system-298891.php
[10:45] <newbie> thank you ziroday
[10:46] <Ziroday> jeeves__: are you on the livecd?
[10:46] <oliver3> vassler, do you have any removable devices (such as USB drives) attached to your computer?
[10:46] <jeeves__> Ziroday, no, I'm in a running copy of Ubuntu
[10:46] <vassler> oliver3: yes. but nothing connected at the moment?
[10:47] <Ziroday> jeeves__: right click on the partition and look at the information section, look for any notices/errors/warning
[10:47] <jeeves__> Ziroday, there is nothing listed as a warning, etc
[10:47] <oliver3> vassler, open the trash and select to view hidden files
[10:48] <oliver3> vassler, View -> Show Hidden Files
[10:48] <oliver3> vassler, is there anything there now?
[10:48] <Ziroday> jeeves__: one sec
[10:48] <jokkaa> How do i extract tar.gz files?
[10:48] <vassler> lol. nothing is shown.
[10:49] <Dr_willis> Chro4,  if you have a ubuntu question - its best to ask it in the channel
[10:49] <nyvhax> hi everybody
[10:49] <Dr_willis> jokkaa,  tar xzvf foo.tar.gz
[10:49] <computer_> i have made .pls files open by default with vlc but when i use firefox it opens with movieplayer
[10:49] <Ziroday> jokkaa: double click on them
[10:49] <oliver3> vassler, I had this problem once with an older version of Ubuntu, I can't remember what it was now though >_<
[10:49] <oliver3> vassler, which version are you running?
[10:49] <jeeves__> Ziroday, thanks.  I'm trying to recover some space from my 100Gb partition, and parition magic is being a typical windows program
[10:49] <Dr_willis> jokkaa,  or use the gui tools.. or install/use the 'unp' command
[10:49] <computer_> how do i make vlc the default player for firefox?
[10:49] <nyvhax> can somebody help me with LAMP please ?
[10:49] <Rakeer> Hey guys, is wine or qemu better for running an x86 application under ppc ubuntu?
[10:50] <nyvhax> i installed it yesterday, but i can't go to http://localhost/ i have this: "The requested URL / was not found on this server."
[10:50] <Dr_willis> Rakeer,  i dident think wine worked on ppc.
[10:50] <Dr_willis> Rakeer,  wine is for running single apps.. qemu runs the whole os.
[10:50] <nyvhax> but i can go to those folders http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and http://localhost/manual but not to the others
[10:50] <nyvhax> i don't know why.. can somebody help me please ?
[10:50] <Ziroday> jeeves__: did you unmount your ntfs filesystem after last shutdown from it?
[10:50] <oliver3> Dr_willis, qemu has some other mode to allow running apps from one arch on another, without running another OS inside it.
[10:51] <Dr_willis> oliver3,  thats a neat trick.
[10:51] <oliver3> Dr_willis, indeed it is
[10:51] <oliver3> :D
[10:51] <Dr_willis> oliver3,  not seen that done/mentioned much.  I tend to just use virtualbox these days
[10:51] <vassler> oliver3: even if i select to empty trash, the trash icon doesn't change as to let me know the trash has been deleted. do you understand what i'm asing?
[10:51] <oliver3> vassler, I do
[10:51] <oliver3> vassler, there is likely trash somewhere which it can't access
[10:52] <Dr_willis> !trash
[10:52] <jeeves__> Ziroday, the NTFS is the root windows partition, and yes, it was shut down properly.  I can access it from Ubuntu
[10:52] <Dr_willis> If runnign the file managers as root. often you get 'root owned' trash ive seen
[10:52] <Rakeer> Dr Willis: Oh...what OS's can I emulate on ppc? MacOSX possibly?
[10:52] <Dr_willis> Rakeer,  err.. i have os-x on my old imac ppc. :)
[10:53] <nyvhax> can somebody help me with LAMP please ?
[10:53] <Dr_willis> I never have gotten linux working well on my ppc imac.
[10:53] <Rakeer> Dr_willis: I don't think I want to install OSX on my PS3 just to run 1 x86 app :P
[10:53] <oliver3> nyvhax, what's the problem?
[10:53] <vassler> oliver3: this only happens when i freshly install ubuntu 8.04.1 and then select to install updates.
[10:53] <arvind_khadri> !anyone| nyvhax
[10:53] <Rakeer> Dr_willis: The program I want to run has an OSX port, so if I can emulate that, fine...
[10:53] <nyvhax> i installed it yesterday, but i can't go to http://localhost/ i have this: "The requested URL / was not found on this server."
[10:53] <Dr_willis> Rakeer,  PS3 is a whole different thing.. not a clue on ps3's im refering to ppc macs.
[10:53] <nyvhax> but i can go to those folders http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and http://localhost/manual but not to the others
[10:53] <jeeves__> Ziroday, that's why I think it's strange that it won't do it
[10:53] <nyvhax> i don't know why.. can somebody help me please ?
[10:53] <Rakeer> Dr_willis: PS3=ppc
[10:53] <oliver3> vassler, I have no idea, unless you changed permissions on the trash directory
[10:53] <Ziroday> jeeves__: one sec
[10:54] <Dr_willis> Rakeer,  its a few generations past ppc on the imacs. :)  which is what most people think of when you mention ppc.
[10:54] <Rakeer> Dr_willis: just pretend I said nothing about a PS3
[10:54] <jeeves__> Ziroday, ok.
[10:54] <bullgard4> How is the class of graphics called that a call of hdaps-gl produces in the program window 'IBM Accelerometer Demo'?
[10:54] <oliver3> nyvhax, do you have an index.html/index.php file in the root directory of apache?
[10:54] <pajamian> I thought ps3 used that new multicore cell cpu?
[10:54] <vassler> oliver3: oh well. thanks anyway.
[10:54] <Rakeer> Dr_willis: and point me into the direction of emulating an OSX program on ppc :D
[10:55] <nyvhax> yes oliver3 the "It Works!"'s index.html
[10:55] <jeeves__> does anyone know what file formats that Homebank will import? or can anyone reccomend a good finical software package for Ubuntu?  I can't get MS money to work through wine
[10:55] <Dr_willis> Rakeer,  go check the ps3 linux sites i guess. I havent a clue on  using linux on a ppc imac. or ps3
[10:55] <oliver3> nyvhax, have you changed the apache configuration?
[10:55] <Chro4> Ok Pirate got me a bit closer but I am looking to install Ubuntu fresh but need to boot from a floppy to start the CDROM any ideas?
[10:55] <oliver3> nyvhax, your best bet is probably reading the apache manual
[10:55] <Dr_willis> PS3 is now PPC, but Macs are now using Intel CPU's so are no longer PPC.. go figure.. :)
[10:56] <arvind_khadri> PS3 as in playstation 3
[10:56] <Dr_willis> arvind_khadri,  yep.
[10:56] <oliver3> Dr_willis, I thought the PS3 used the Cell processor?
[10:56] <oliver3> Or is that based on PPC?
[10:56] <arvind_khadri> Dr_willis, nice
[10:56]  * oliver3 hasn't looked into the PS3 much
[10:56] <Rakeer> oy. In ppc linux, I want to run an OSX emulator...is that possible?
[10:56] <Dr_willis> oliver3,  its like  PPC grown up 10000x over. :)
[10:56] <oliver3> Ahh
[10:56] <oliver3> :D
[10:56] <oliver3> Rakeer, see PearPC
[10:56] <arvind_khadri> Rakeer, ask #linux
[10:57] <Rakeer> PearPC emulates ppc on other platforms, I thought?
[10:57] <Dr_willis> I thought pearpc was some rip-off   last i looked into it..
[10:57] <Rakeer> arvind_khadri: Im running ubuntu though...?
[10:57] <Ziroday> jeeves__: please install the packages libntfs10 and tell me if you can do it now?
[10:57] <arvind_khadri> !ppc | Rakeer
[10:57] <oliver3> Rakeer, you can probably use qemu
[10:58] <jeeves__> Ziroday, ok, one sec
[10:58] <jokkaa> Hmm.. im trying to get my compiz transparent, but all i can find is the "shift-mousewheel" option to change opacity.. is there anyway to make it true opacity? wich will be there all the time and not has to be set by scrolling?
[10:59] <jeeves__> Ziroday, the only options I have are "unmount" "change flags" and "information" when I right click on the parititon
[10:59] <Rakeer> Yeah, I have no clue where to start with it.l.I am used to wine running on x85 machines..
[10:59] <Rakeer> and #qemu is like a ghost town
[10:59] <nyvhax> oliver3, i tried, but i found nothing
[10:59] <jeeves__> Ziroday, and the shell is reporting that it's only opening it in read only
[11:00] <kiiwii>  /msg NickServ SET EMAILMEMOS ON
[11:00] <arvind_khadri> jeeves__, do you have ntfs-3g
[11:01] <jeeves__> arvind_khadri, I'm not sure.  I don't think so.  IT's weird though, I can read/write to the partion
[11:01] <arvind_khadri> jeeves__, what actually is the problem??
[11:02] <jeeves__> arvind_khadri, I have it installed (and I can't resize the NTFS partition).
[11:02] <arvind_khadri> jeeves__, gksu gparted
[11:02] <arvind_khadri> jeeves__, by resize you mean increase or decrease??
[11:03] <jeeves__> arvind_khadri, same thing as the last time.  I only have the options to unmount, info, or change flags
[11:03] <jeeves__> arvind_khadri, and yes, I want to shrink the drive from 100Gb to 45gb
[11:03] <Dr_willis> jeeves__,  normally you dont 'resize' a partitin when its mounted somewhere..
[11:03] <Dr_willis> jeeves__,  you may want to get a gparted live cd. and try to resize from it.
[11:03] <arvind_khadri> jeeves__, then first unmount it and then resize it
[11:03] <jeeves__> Dr_willis, ok, I'd rather not have to do the live CD thing though
[11:03] <arvind_khadri> jeeves__, and yeah get a gparted live cd
[11:03] <vozniakBR> how open pidgin in startup iconified?
[11:04] <Dr_willis> gparted live cd = a must have for the pc toolbox
[11:04] <jeeves__> arvind_khadri, hummm, well, it's not a big thing this second.  Windows is getting a little long in the tooth, so it's going to be cut back.
[11:04] <arvind_khadri> jeeves__, :) lol
[11:04] <jeeves__> Dr_willis, I actully have the disks that you can request from Ubuntu
[11:05] <jeeves__> arvind_khadri, it made me mad this morning.  NTOSKRN.exe is missing.
[11:05] <Dr_willis> jeeves__,  those may have gparted on them.. or you can install it
[11:05] <arvind_khadri> vozniakBR, are you english?
[11:05] <jeeves__> ....  and Bil strikes again
[11:05] <Chro4> :-DA Answer Please
[11:05] <vozniakBR> arvind_khadri: nops, Brazilian
[11:05] <arvind_khadri> !br | vozniakBR
[11:06] <jeeves__> Does anyone know what file format that HomeBank imports?  Or can anyone reccomend a good replacement for MS $$?
[11:06] <vozniakBR> arvind_khadri: i don't want go there =)
[11:06] <arvind_khadri> vozniakBR, oh ok :) then please make your question more understandable...didnt mean to hurt you
[11:06] <Chro4> May I ask a question and get some type of answer
[11:07] <vozniakBR> arvind_khadri: you dont understand "iconified"? sorry.
[11:07] <arvind_khadri> Chro4, ask
[11:07] <Chro4> I need a way to boot up to the CDROM install from floppy
[11:08] <jeeves__> nm, I figured out the bank question
[11:08] <Chro4> does this OS support this a link to where i can get it is all i need to get started
[11:09] <vozniakBR> arvind_khadri: then this is for you understand, iconified = minimized =)
[11:09] <Dr_willis> Chro4,  i belive there a install wiki/page that details alternative ways of installing the os and a boot/install floppy
[11:09] <philipp> hi
[11:09] <Dr_willis> !install | chro4
[11:09] <philipp> is there any channel for german ubuntu users?
[11:09] <hateball> !de | philipp
[11:09] <arvind_khadri> vozniakBR, add it in the sessions... not sure about it being minimized
[11:10] <HellBound> Hello!
[11:10] <arvind_khadri> vozniakBR, oh wait i got your question...you want to open pidgin just in the system tray
[11:10] <vozniakBR> arvind_khadri: yeap!
[11:10] <arvind_khadri> !hi | HellBound
[11:10] <psycose> hi
[11:11] <vozniakBR> arvind_khadri: iconified = tray.
[11:11] <Chro4> I just do not have the option to boot FROM the cdrom in the bios.  i could hack a freinds pc to install then put the drive in to this machine but would that work?
[11:11] <HellBound> i'm having trouble to install Ubuntu 7.10 from live cd
[11:11] <Chro4> I know windows freaks out
[11:12] <Dr_willis> Chro4,  linux should work decently well if you installed on a different box/moved the hd.
[11:12] <psycose> i've create a debian source libfoo that provide 3 debian packages, libfoo0, libfoo0-bin and libfoo0-dev, i've got some problem on the debian/rules where could i got some help ?
[11:12] <vozniakBR> how open pidgin in system tray?
[11:13] <Dr_willis> vozniakBR,  theres that 'alltray' program that can force apps to the system tray i belive
[11:13] <Chro4> OK im a MS capture trying to break away
[11:13] <vozniakBR> Dr_willis: apt-get alltray?
[11:13] <arvind_khadri> psycose, #ubuntu-motu
[11:13] <Dr_willis> vozniakBR,  when in doubt use the apt-cache search stuff to search for proper names...
[11:13] <MrNaz``> i know i can answer this question experimentally, and i intend to... but is it possible that the windows est battery life on my laptop is 2h while linux (xubuntu) est battery life is 5h... could that be correct?
[11:14] <HellBound> Help me to setup ubuntu 7.10 pls
[11:14] <Dr_willis> MrNaz``,  estimation times i have found to be often very very wrong in both os's :)
[11:14] <Rakeer> Chro4: Well, you made it onto IRC, and you're in a linux channel...
[11:14] <MrNaz``> Dr_willis well the rate that the % drops is far slower in linux... as i said... i'm going to test this experimentally, but that's an enormous difference
[11:14] <psycose> thanks arvind_khadri
[11:14] <vozniakBR> Dr_willis: this 'alltray' save changes? i want when login the pidgin starts in tray
[11:14] <Dr_willis> MrNaz``,  i was able to throttle down my linux laptop's cpu lower in linux, then i could in windows.  that  gave a huge extimated time.
[11:14] <Rakeer> Chro4: Have some cookies, and milk...sit down and relax. Paitence is key to breaking bad addictions..
[11:15] <Dr_willis> vozniakBR,  not a clue. check its docs.
[11:15] <cernex> Hey, I supposedly have an application that just muted my PC
[11:15] <cernex> When I only have the XChat client running
[11:15] <cernex> How do I check that out?
[11:15] <cernex> And how do I stop it from happening again?
[11:15] <SlimeyPete> hrm... is there any way I can specify a DNS server address, such that it won't get overwritten when Ubuntu receives a DHCP lease?
[11:16] <cernex> I mean, I can't believe I can't play youtube and Rhythmbox at the same time, like it is supposed to
[11:16] <cernex> :(
[11:16] <cernex> I think there's something really wrong in my sound configuration
[11:16] <zethero1> I got another laptop and am selling my old one ... but I don't want to have to redo my entire setup if I can help it .... is there a way to move my whole setup to the other machine?
[11:17] <pajamian> zethero1: most of your setup will be in your home directory, so if you just copy your home directory over you should be good.
[11:17] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  mondo/mindi can backup/restore a system with dvd disks, or a fileserver.. may be other ways also.. but laptops can be 'trickier' then other pc's
[11:17] <pajamian> zethero1: just install openssh server on one of the computers and use scp
[11:17] <kholerabbi> how do I tell why my 3d effects won't enable ?
[11:17] <vozniakBR> Dr_willis: thanks, i solved my insue.
[11:18] <Rakeer> kholerabbi: probably dont have accelerated drivers enabled
[11:18] <cernex> Some help with the sound here, please
[11:18] <kholerabbi> rakeer: it's worled before on the same installation............ How do I check these drivers?
[11:18] <cernex> How can I listen to my stuff again?
[11:19] <cernex> And why is it that everytime I listen something on youtube, my sound just flickles all over?
[11:19] <zethero1> pajamian - Dr_willis - I am only getting my new system in a while and this one is going now to the buyer ... so I need to be able to backup this current system setup
[11:19] <Rakeer> probably applications->system>restricted drivers manager
[11:19] <Ashka> Help me please ! If I type apt-get, Konsole mean : apt-get : not found. Why ? I can't reinstall it, but apt-get don't functionnal !
[11:19] <Rakeer> check the box next to your video card
[11:19] <Ashka> Lut Lyokomaster et Tiwy57 ^^''
[11:19] <Lyokomaster> Lut
[11:19] <Tiwy57> Lyokomaster Ashka : :)
[11:20] <zethero1> pajamian - Dr_willis - the best would be if I could somehow have all these programs and the look and feel of my setup backed up ... so I don't have to reinstall and reconfigure everything all over again
[11:20] <Rakeer> kholerabbi: did you find it?
[11:20] <cernex> Can somebody tell me the normal configuration my sound should have?
[11:20] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  mondo/mindi can do a complete backup/clone of the system
[11:21] <cernex> To not having to close firefox to listen to Rythmbox, and viceversa?
[11:21] <zethero1> Dr_willis: can it do it to a USD External Hard Drive?
[11:21] <HellBound> Hello :(
[11:21] <kholerabbi> Rakeer: actually I can't see it... possibly the package got uninstalled - what would be the package name?
[11:21] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  proberly can.. not sure.. check its docs.
[11:21] <zethero1> Dr_willis: is it in the repos?
[11:22] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  used to be it made a custom boot cd, that then accessed the 'archived' system files. (on a fileserver, or cd, or dvd)  and restored the hd from ti..
[11:22] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  if you have a large external hd. you could use 'dd' but thats a bit hardcore.
[11:22] <Rakeer> restricted drivers
[11:22] <zethero1> Dr_willis: what do you mean about 'dd' ?
[11:22] <zethero1> Dr_willis: I have a large HDD
[11:23] <Dr_willis> HellBound,  you may want to use 8.04 if you are having install issues.. its got newer updates and stuff
[11:23] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  dd can do a full 'data dump' of your sustem to a file.
[11:23] <pajamian> I wouldn't use dd for that as it makes a bit-level copy and you want a file-level copy
[11:23] <zethero1> Dr_willis, that sounds good ...
[11:24] <Dr_willis> zethero1,   untill you realize all the other issues that come with it.
[11:24] <zethero1> Dr_willis, oh? .... like hardware issues on the new ssytem ?
[11:25] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  thats just 1 potential pitfall..  differnet uuid's in the fstab perhaps, the huge backing up of  'empty' space from one hd... missmatched hd sizes on restore...
[11:25] <pajamian> zethero1: well considering that the new system will have different hw a fresh install is probably a good idea.
[11:25] <kholerabbi> no it;s not restricted drivers -
[11:25] <zethero1> pajamian: so I cannot port over all my apps from this machine ...
[11:26] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  its easer to get a list of installed apps and reinstall those apps.. then restore the users data/home
[11:26] <Dr_willis> !clone
[11:26] <pajamian> zethero1: you can, but I tend to prefer a fresh install anyways, get rid of all the old cruft that you have that you don't want anymore, etc.
[11:26] <zethero1> Dr_willis: what about all my themes etc?....
[11:26] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  depends on how you installed them i imagine..
[11:27] <zethero1> Dr_willis, themes were draged into the themes dialog
[11:27] <Proximo> i'm trying to use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ but after following the guide step by step it still won't boot from the USB stick (ive tried installing LILO too, nogo)  any ideas ?
[11:28] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  that means very little to me. :) if they are in the local users home.. then you backup home and they stay with the user..
[11:28] <Dr_willis> if you installed them with the package manager.. you reinstall them with the packagfe manager
[11:28] <Dr_willis> Proximo,  a usbthumb drive normally uses the syslinux boot loader i thought.
[11:28] <Rakeer> kholerabbi: (k-hole rabbi?) try asking again...
[11:29] <dam0> hey
[11:29] <Rakeer> kholerabbi: try to be a little more specific..someone else may know
[11:29] <dam0> i am wanting to setup a vhost on ubunta,
[11:29] <dam0> how do i do so?
[11:29] <_numbers_> cloak?
[11:29] <kili4n> hi
[11:30] <kholerabbi> rakeer: ok so I have 2 drivers listed - a wireless driver and a atheros (HAL) driver - would that be the graphics?
[11:30] <Rakeer> atheros
[11:30] <Rakeer> HAL = video chip/card
[11:30] <hischild> kholerabbi, no. Atheros (HAL) is also your wlan driver. Atheros shows 2
[11:30] <Proximo> Dr_willis: maybe, but it says at the bottom of the guide that if it wont boot i could try installing lilo (for MBR)
[11:30] <Rakeer> oh my mistake
[11:31] <Ad0> wow big channel :)
[11:31] <zhaowm> hello
[11:31] <Proximo> Dr_willis: so i tried installing it when it failed to boot
[11:31] <dam0> how do i set up vitrual hosting on my box>?
[11:31] <Dr_willis> Proximo,  ive also found a lot of times it depends on the specific thumb drive.. and the machine you are trying to boot. I mainly use slax and puppylinux  on my thumbdrives
[11:31] <zethero1> Dr_willis, http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html
[11:31] <Rakeer> Ad0: a testament to the wonderous beauty of Ubuntu, no? ;)
[11:31] <Ad0> hehe
[11:31] <Ad0> yeah
[11:31] <zhaowm> This is my first time to come here.
[11:31] <Ad0> ubuntu is awesome
[11:31] <Rakeer> agreede.
[11:32] <Rakeer> -e
[11:32] <Ad0> I was wondering if the window manager has a global handler to the power button on my remote
[11:32] <hischild> let's not go offtopic here, shall we? We've got #ubuntu-offtopic for that :)
[11:32] <kholerabbi> hischild: Rakeer:  .... So assuming I need a restricted driver for my graphics hardware - How do I go about getting it...?
[11:32] <zethero1> Dr_willis, I found this page ... and this app wants to backup /var, /etc, /home, /usr/local  ..... does that sounds ok?
[11:32] <Proximo> Dr_willis: i would too if i knew enough to get slax/puppy running as i want it. but ive booted on this thumbdrive/computer combo before, cant understand why its not working this time
[11:32] <Ad0> because if I go in xbmc-linux and press power, I would believe that I am in the scope of the app
[11:32] <zhaowm> where are you from?
[11:32] <hischild> kholerabbi, depends what graphics card you have. Do you happen to know which one you have?
[11:32] <Dr_willis> zethero1,  could try it and see.. i always just keep /home on its own drive.
[11:33] <Rakeer> kholerabbi: ^^
[11:33] <Ad0> but when I press power in XBMC it also shows the shutdown menu in ubuntu
[11:33] <zhaowm> java
[11:33] <Ad0> which is kinda not wanted :)
[11:33] <zhaowm> I want to install jdk
[11:33] <kholerabbi> no...
[11:33] <zhaowm> who can help me?
[11:33] <hischild> kholerabbi, otherwise try this command --> lspci | grep VGA
[11:34] <kholerabbi> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[11:34] <Dr_willis> Is java included with the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'  package? i forget.
[11:34] <zhaowm> Thank you.
[11:34] <Dr_willis> !java | zhaowm
[11:35] <hischild> kholerabbi, not sure if that card would need restricted drivers.
[11:35] <zhaowm> I 'm from China, I want to make friends with you.
[11:35] <hischild> !offtopic | zhaowm
[11:35] <dam0> how do i setup my machine so i can have a personal vhost?
[11:35] <Dr_willis> !vhost
[11:36] <Fahrenheit00> how can i compile my c++ programs on ubuntu?
[11:36] <hischild> !compile | Fahrenheit00
[11:36] <robelliott2125> How do I get my archive manager to recognise RAR files?
[11:36] <hischild> robelliott2125, install unrar --> sudo aptitude install unrar
[11:36] <robelliott2125> Thanks hischild!
[11:37] <guillem101> Ive upgraded my sister/s computer from feisty to gutsy and from gutsy to hardy / all night long,
[11:38] <energY> guillem101: Good for her
[11:38] <Rakeer> guillem101: that sounds hot...
[11:38] <guillem101> But, yet at gutsy, the cursors at X11 went to plain old X11 style instead of Human animated ones. How can I restore the Human animated ones as default
[11:38] <Ad0> :P
[11:38] <hischild> guillem101, that's theme related right?
[11:38] <Ad0> one thing, is there UI for the audio mixer in ubuntu
[11:38] <guillem101> hischild: probably
[11:38] <guillem101> hischild: no
[11:38] <zhaowm> SPAIN:XI BAN YA
[11:38] <guillem101> hischild: Already happens at GDM!!!
[11:38] <Ad0> I think the sound is a bit thin and boxy
[11:38] <kholerabbi> hischild: perhaps not.. the reason for this is I can't enable 3d effects - and it gives me no information why (it's worked as of a few weeks ago)
[11:39] <zhaowm> Hello
[11:39] <hischild> guillem101, try switching to a different theme and then back...  (GDM als is part of the theme, check login screen)
[11:39] <nandemonai> guillem101, system -> prefs -> appearance -> theme -> customize -> pointer :)
[11:40] <Ad0> alsamixergui ?
[11:40] <dam0> can someone help me setup a vhost on my machine
[11:40]  * SlimeyPete wonders if there's a way to set a DNS server address in such a way that Ubuntu won't overwrite it when a DHCP lease is received
[11:41] <guillem101> brb
[11:42] <Morten_> Hi, is there someone that can explain the difference between "green" and "black" files in my Terminal, eventhough they have the same file-extention
[11:42] <EnGorDiaz> AHHHH
[11:42] <EnGorDiaz> im in the irc!!!
[11:42] <EnGorDiaz> :O
[11:42] <hischild> Morten_, has to do with file permissions

[11:43] <Morten_> hischild, how do i check the file permissions.. I have a problem with the green file
[11:43] <EnGorDiaz> will there be lulz
[11:43] <hischild> EnGorDiaz, this is a help channel. Please try not to go offtopic or talk random chatter. #ubuntu-offtopic is for that.
[11:43] <EnGorDiaz> well hischild im trying to get gloobus the quicklook feature integreated into nautilus
[11:44] <stdin> SlimeyPete: edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add a line like "prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>;"
[11:44] <hischild> Morten_, ls -l will show you the permissions.
[11:44] <EnGorDiaz> so i thought hischild i could come here and see how i can get an opengl
[11:44] <EnGorDiaz> program like gloobus integrated into nautilus
[11:44] <hischild> EnGorDiaz, then ask the channel :) i'm not a person who knows it all
