[09:54] <ricc101> but i use an optical cabl
[09:54] <ricc101> e
[09:55] <clayton> is this the normal irc chat or it's another kind?
[09:56] <elzoog> Hello everybody.  I am having a problem with Firefox in Ubuntu 8.04
[09:56] <aRahim> can i ask some pppoe-setup questions here as i am using zenwalk
[09:56] <PrivateRolf> Clayton, this is generally the support chat.
[09:56] <PrivateRolf> If you're looking for off topic...
[09:56] <PrivateRolf> !offtopic | Clayton
[09:56] <aRahim> zenwalk room is dead and not getting any response :(
[09:56] <PrivateRolf> Elzoog: What's the problem?
[09:57] <clayton> ok, but in the past (when i had windows) i chatted on irc, with bigfun program... now i want to join some channel, but i don't have success...
[09:57] <clayton> ùhow can i do?
[09:58] <dougsko> clayton:  /j #channel
[09:58] <PrivateRolf> Clayton, type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> clayton: /j #<name of channel>
[09:58] <askvictor> I've got two jre's installed - sun and openjdk. I think the system is using openjdk - how can I change it to use sun?
[09:59] <aRahim> mods plz reply if i can ask queries about ZenWalk here??
[09:59] <elzoog> The problem is, I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10.  After I did that, the navigation toolbar and history don't work.  I have already tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox
[10:00] <ubd> hello
[10:00] <unop> !multijava | askvictor
[10:00] <Dream-Ub1> hey
[10:00] <ubd> i have just installed ubuntu via guided install however i am suspicious if i have a swap partition how do i check it?
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> ubd: sudo fdisk -l
[10:01] <aRahim> ubd cheack system monitor
[10:01] <ubd> allright i got one
[10:01] <ubd> thanks!
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> np ubd
[10:02] <aRahim> ok upd
[10:02] <Dream-Ub1> got an error http://nexer.net/gnome.png
[10:02] <ubd> one more question, is it possible to configure max processor speed in ubuntu ?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> aRahim: why have to open a gui app when a single line command outputs it?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> ubd: how do you mean?
[10:03] <ubd> ActionParsnip: vista had this option to decrease the processor max mhz, i was using it to avoid heat...
[10:04] <aRahim> ActionParsnip: i kinda thought him being a noob
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> ubd: id underclock in bios, ive not seen that in a desktop OS before
[10:04] <aRahim> bye
[10:05] <Blackhold> how to say to dmesg to use an other level of showing messages, for example, when loading a module, shows any info
[10:05] <ubd> ok ActionParsnip thanks
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Blackhold: grep
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> Blackhold: dmesg | grep module
[10:08] <elzoog> Can anyone help me with my Firefox problem?
[10:08] <subtwo> ubd: Otherwise you maybe should look at cpufreq package if your CPU supports frequency scaling!?
[10:08] <Dryanta> elzoog: whatup?
[10:08] <ubd> allright subtwo ill install it
[10:09] <morningwalker> !fedora
[10:10] <elzoog> I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 last night.  The problem I am having though is that the navigation bar, history, and bookmarks don't work in Firefox
[10:10] <sushanth> i am getting error cant mount volume when i insert my pen
[10:10] <Dream-Ub1> http://nexer.net/gnome.png  any way to fix that gnome error?
[10:10] <elzoog> ubotto:  There are hundreds of other distributions besides Ubuntu.
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: hes a bot
[10:11] <Dryanta> elzoog: delete your .mozilla and try again
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: id rename rather than delete
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: you can then copy stuff over
[10:11] <Blackhold> ActionParsnip: now is not showing nothing!
[10:11] <elzoog> Dryanta:  The entire .mozilla directory in my home directory?
[10:11] <Dryanta> elzoog: or rename it
[10:11] <Blackhold> what I need is to change the level of errors in dmesg
[10:11] <Dryanta> i just delete mine when stuff like that happens
[10:12] <Dryanta> but i dont have huge important stacks of links or anything
[10:12] <Slasher`> hey all could anyone tell me if there's a command to list all unmounted drives please?
[10:13] <unop> Blackhold, see -n in the dmesg manpage
[10:13] <unop> Slasher`, sudo fdisk -l
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> Blackhold: grep basically takes all that output and only shows lines with the text you specify
[10:13] <Slasher`> thanks unop
[10:13] <elzoog> Thanks Dryanta, that seemed to work
[10:13] <unop> ActionParsnip, grep filters things out .. he wants to change the level of logging
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> unop: i thought he just wanted to see module activity
[10:14] <Dryanta> elzoog: np
[10:14] <unop> ActionParsnip, seems so .. but with more verbosity i assume
[10:14] <elzoog> Well, first I did "ps x | grep firefox" to make sure that firefox wasn't still running.
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: killall firefox works too
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: or pidof firefox
[10:15] <Kate_Mins> Hello , i need help please, i installed apache on my server & i would like to know how i can enable (mod_read_write) ?
[10:15] <nirupama> how does ubuntu update from one ubuntu version to another
[10:15] <nirupama> I mean upgrade the system
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | nirupama
[10:15] <elzoog> So, why did I have to delete the .mozilla directory (actually, I moved it to .oldmozilla)
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> nirupama: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: that hold all your firefox preferences and settings
[10:16] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, but will it really upgrade whole of my base system and the applications
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> nirupama: yes
[10:16] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, I want to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04
[10:16] <unop> nirupama, not really, use the update-manager-core package
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> nirupama: no, you need ubottu's link for that
[10:16] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, so can I get 8.04 just by apt-get upgrade
[10:17] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, what is ubottu's link
[10:17] <Ontolog> I have a 1.80GHz processor however cpuinfo_cur_freq is only 600MHz. Why is this and how do I change it?
[10:17] <elzoog> Also, I am wondering why did I have to search really hard to find an Ubuntu 8.04 DVD iso?  Is Ubuntu gradually getting rid of having DVD isos in favor of only offering the CD?
[10:17] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, you mean repository path
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> nirupama: as i said if you are going between versions then use ubottus link, if you want to upgrade the version you have, use my command
[10:17] <unop> nirupama, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:18] <WoofWoofWoof> Asked this earlier, but no one was able to solve it: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920.  It turned off when I pressed the power button. Now when I turn it on, it's not booting. It turns on and stops at the blank screen with the blinking cursor and does not proceed further. Right now I'm using the Live
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: the dvd just has more fluff on it (like multiple desktop managers and the like)
[10:18] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, please explain me ubottus
[10:18] <hana> I was just trying to test Photoshop in Ubuntu. I put in the CD and attempted to see if wine would respond to it and get it to run. After installing Gecko and attempting the setup process, now Ubuntu will not even read the CD.
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | nirupama
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> nirupama: that link there ^
[10:18] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, ok
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> nirupama: will upgrade you to the latest release (hardy heron)
[10:19] <nirupama> ActionParsnip, ok
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> hana: try a reboot, id try photoshop through wine or even cedega if you dont mind spending the cash
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> hana: gimp is pretty sweet
[10:20] <hana> ActionParsnip, gimp is not sweet in my experience. But I did try a reboot and it's the same problem. I am trying photoshop through wine, as I mentioned already.
[10:20] <elzoog> Action:  Yeah, but I would rather have stuff that is not commonly used, but I would like to try on the DVD (for example, Rosegarden) so that I don't have to download a file from the internet every time I want to try something odd
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: not very much in linux is common, all systems are unique
[10:21] <hana> ActionParsnip, I just needed to install gecko because the Photoshop setup.exe uses IE, which requires wine's Gecko component. But after I did that it seems like Ubuntu will not read the photoshop CD.
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> hana: try remounting it
[10:21] <hana> ActionParsnip, I did. I remove the CD and put it back in and close it and it doesn't reead.
[10:21] <hana> ActionParsnip, it read the very first time.
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: if you want all the extra stuff then the dvd is for you, id try and get it via torrents as its faster and you give back tothe community by seeding
[10:22] <elzoog> Action:  Well, I would say that firefox and openoffice are examples of programs that are common.  But for example, I have QCad on my machine.  That would be an example of something probably not common
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> hana: you need to unmount the cd using sudo umount /mount/point/of/cd
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: i use neither
[10:22] <hana> ActionParsnip, alright. I'll try that.
[10:24] <hana> ActionParsnip, actually, I'm not sure what the mount point of my CD is.
[10:24] <elzoog> Action:  What do you use instead of Firefox?  I use Firefox because it's common enough that web developers are more likely to support it than, for example, Galleon
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hana: run mount on its own
[10:24] <hana> ActionParsnip, ok/
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> elzoog: opera, its way smaller in ram
[10:25] <elzoog> Action:  Yeah, I hear Opera is popular.
[10:25] <hana> ActionParsnip, I don't see any /media mounts.
[10:25] <obsidieth> opera is swoi
[10:25] <Slasher`> i like opera
[10:25] <elzoog> Action:  But if I were a web developer, I would only test my sites on Internet Explorer, and Firefox
[10:26] <kindofabuzz> ActionParsnip, wrong. look up some tests
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> hana: id have the cd out, reboot, then once you are back in, insert the cd
[10:26] <hana> ActionParsnip, ok.
[10:26] <hana> ActionParsnip, I'll be back if it doesn't work. Thank you.
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> kindofabuzz: well it doesnt make my system drag like firefox does when it runs, thats my test
[10:26] <Slasher`> elzoog, i test mine on opera as well as those two and sometimes in konqueror too if i'm bored :P
[10:26] <kindofabuzz> ActionParsnip, my FF barely ever get's past 100m
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> kindofabuzz: its how it runs on MY system that counts, not some test / benchmarks
[10:26] <kindofabuzz> M
[10:27] <Slasher`> well said ActionParsnip
[10:27] <kindofabuzz> ActionParsnip, true, you should have said Opera uses les memory on my system =)
[10:27] <Slasher`> it was the mouse gestures that grabbed my attention to it to be honest
[10:27] <elzoog> Slasher:  If I notice a web site doesn't look good on Konqueror, I close konqueror and pull up firefox
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> people rely too heavily on benchmarks when they can test software for free and see how it performs
[10:27] <Slasher`> i do that if a website doesnt look good in opera elzoog lol
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> and make their own choice
[10:28] <kindofabuzz> 3.1b1pre rocks my socks with JIT
[10:29] <elzoog> Slasher:  I don't bother.  Rather than take the time to run konqueror, see that a web site doesn't look good so I have to run firefox anyway, I'll just save myself the hassle and just run firefox in the first place.
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> i have firefox on my work lappy so i can control amarok via xul
[10:29] <stimpie> does someone know how to 'circle workspaces' ex. go to workspace 1 from workspace for when going to workspace on the right?
[10:29] <stodan> what is opposite to cat? i want to write stdin to file, but i have to do it via pipe, not redirect
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> stodan: tac
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> stodan: no foolin
[10:30] <stdin> stodan: tee
[10:30] <elzoog> Also, I went ahead and used the "not supported" Flash program from Adobe because the "free" alternative didn't work right
[10:30] <Slasher`> stimpie, ctrl+alt+left/right arrow keys?
[10:31] <stodan> tee is better, thx
[10:31] <hana> ActionParsnip, I tried what you suggested and still no success.
[10:31] <unop> stodan, cat can help.  command | cat -> file
[10:31] <hana> ActionParsnip, perhaps if I explain exactly what I did before this problem happened, maybe you can help me understand what happened?
[10:31] <stimpie> Slasher`, they stop when you are at the edges and dont go the start again
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> hana: strange, what if you manually mount it?
[10:31] <Slasher`> ah i see what you mean
[10:31] <hana> ActionParsnip, how do I do that?
[10:32] <Slasher`> stimpie,i don't know, sorry, i use compiz
[10:32] <spook> how do i connect to irc in ubuntu?
[10:32] <stimpie> its a minor inconvenience
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> hana: sudo mkdir /mnt/cd; sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> spook: you are on it now
[10:32] <hana> ActionParsnip, Alright.
[10:32] <spook> no, i want to connect to irc
[10:33] <stdin> spook: this is IRC
[10:33] <br0kkN> hi.  i removed a failing sata drive from my system, and get grub error 22 now.  i am fairly sure i can fix that (am on livecd now).  but i wonder is there some way to make it not die when the hdd order changes?  that os i kicked off my personal gear some time ago seems to handle this better for my brother.  is there a nicer way to config it?

[10:34] <ikonia> br0kkN: raid mirroring is the best way
[10:34] <ikonia> spook: please ignore it
[10:34] <WoofWoofWoof> Asked this twice before >.<
[10:34] <WoofWoofWoof> I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920.  It turned off when I pressed the po
[10:35] <hana> ActionParsnip, I just hear the same sound I hear when I just put the CD in. The drive makes noise like it's trying to read it, but it doesn't successfully mount.
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> hana: do you have 2 cd drives/
[10:35] <ghostknife> In which configuration file can I edit the global BASE PATH environment variable?
[10:35] <ikonia> ghostknife: I'm not aware of that varible
[10:35] <ikonia> ghostknife: what application wants it ?
[10:35] <stdin> ghostknife: for your user or all users?
[10:35] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, I have sound and I have video
[10:36] <ghostknife> ikonia: the PATH variable?
[10:36] <ghostknife> stdin: all users
[10:36] <stdin> ghostknife: /etc/environment
[10:36] <ikonia> ghostknife: ooh PATH - I thought you where asking for BASE
[10:36] <ghostknife> stdin: that's what I meant with global
[10:36] <hana> ActionParsnip, no. Just one.
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> hana: does it show up in bios?
[10:36] <stdin> but they can override in their ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile
[10:36] <ghostknife> stdin: problem with that one is that it doesn't affect SUDO
[10:37] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: awesome
[10:37] <ikonia> ghostknife: you may want to put something in /etc/skel to for new user creation
[10:37] <hana> ActionParsnip, I would just have to check. I just took the CD out and put it in my other computer and it works fine, so I know it's not the CD.
[10:37] <stdin> ghostknife: sudo has a built-in "secure" path, you can't change it
[10:37] <hana> ActionParsnip, I'm going to try another CD in this one and see if it mounts.
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> hana: good test
[10:37] <dougsko> ghostknife: there's also /etc/profile
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> hana: another good tets
[10:37] <ghostknife> stdin: I understand all those, I'm just trying to get SUDO to also include this when resetting the PATH env variable (don't want it preserved, so that a user can take on the new environment of the sudo'ed context)
[10:37] <ikonia> stdin: isn't there an option at sudo invokation to source a file for things like environment variable
[10:37] <ghostknife> stdin: oh
[10:37] <stdin> ghostknife: at least not in Hardy (maybe for intrepid)
[10:37] <Debs626> Hello guys
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> hi Debs626
[10:38] <br0kkN> ikonia: yah, and we intend to make the server a central raid soon.  but for my desktop, where i often trade drives in and out to 'work on' or fix for friends, tinker, what have you...  that drive order thing is a pain when i go from 6 to 5 hdds and suddenly can't boot... and it wasn't either my bios boot and / drive or the drive with /boot that was pulled.  since i do this sort of thing a lot, i was hoping for some idea on how i might
[10:38] <br0kkN> config better to avoid this.  like how /etc/fstab can use uuids, mabye there is something like that for grub config???
[10:38] <ikonia> br0kkN: make sure your grub /boot partition is always on drive 1 then
[10:38] <stdin> ikonia, ghostknife: the -E variable to sudo should preserve PATH, but I think you need to edit /etc/sudoers to make it work (not sure)
[10:38] <ikonia> br0kkN: then always swap out any other drive rather than drive one, leaving drive 1 in place
[10:39] <ikonia> stdin: thats it
[10:39] <br0kkN> ikonia: okay, so it is having the /boot on the 250G IDE and bios-boot and various /
[10:39] <hana> ActionParsnip, I put in another CD and it mounted on this computer. So I guess the CD drive is also working. My guess is that it's a problem with wine because before wine would run the autorun.exe fromt he photoshop CD, but after I tried to install gecko following online directions so that wine would complete the setup.exe process, this problem occurred.
[10:39] <ikonia> br0kkN: thats the idea
[10:39] <stdin> s/variable/argument/
[10:39] <Debs626> needing some help finding some internet radio broadcasting SW for ubuntu, something like SAM Broadcaster from Special Audio, I'm new to ubuntu and this is the only bit of SW thats holding me back from installing it on all of my pc's
[10:39] <br0kkN> root installs on the 60Gig IDE... the split is causing my failure then?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> hana: now you have mounted a different cd can you mount you PS cd/
[10:40] <stimpie> Debs626, you may want to look at vlc
[10:40] <hana> ActionParsnip, that was my next step.
[10:40] <Debs626> it dosnt broadcast does it stimpie ?
[10:40] <hana> ActionParsnip, itt worked. Good good.
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> hana: sweet :D
[10:41] <br0kkN> stdin, it would not be sudoers because i am in the grub boot-loader environment when i get my error
[10:41] <br0kkN> not linux
[10:41] <br0kkN> (yet)
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> hana: cedega works ok with photoshop but its gonna cost you :D
[10:41] <kindofabuzz> use wine, it's free
[10:41] <hana> ActionParsnip, how does it cost me?
[10:41] <stdin> br0kkN: that response was not to you
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> hana: cedega isnt free
[10:42] <br0kkN> ikonia: well thing is my /
[10:42] <br0kkN> 's
[10:42] <br0kkN> grr...
[10:42] <hana> ActionParsnip, oh. That sucks.
[10:42] <hana> ActionParsnip, how much?
[10:42] <damo> how do i see what motherboard i have in ubuntu?
[10:42] <stimpie> Debs626, depends on what you call 'broadcast'
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> hana: neither is crossover office, you can try them for a while but then they want paying
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> hana: not sure about cedega, crossover is 25 GBP
[10:42] <morgan> hi
[10:42] <br0kkN> ikonia: thing is my root partitions are on a 60Gig IDE and the other drives are usually SATA that I remove... but they come earlier to GRUB for some reason, methinks.  I would have to check to be sure, i haven't gotten that far this time yet
[10:42] <morgan> I am a ubuntu blogger
[10:43] <Debs626> needs to be compatable with shoutcast stimpie
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> hana: you'll have to check for your country
[10:43] <hana> ActionParsnip, where are you?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> hana: uk
[10:43] <hana> ActionParsnip, alright.
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> hana: gbp == great british pounds
[10:43] <hana> ActionParsnip, oh yeah, GBP
[10:43] <br0kkN> ikonia: but i am going to put my boot on the same disk now, for sure
[10:44] <damo> how do i see what motherboard i have in ubuntu?
[10:44] <hana> ActionParsnip, well, now my CD is mounting, so I'm back to square one trying to get wine to run Photoshop if possible.
[10:44] <shewdiz> I own a ubuntu-related blog, I always post about ubuntu and I have many posts to come....
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> hana: indeed, look at some walkthroughs, someone may have had succdss
[10:44] <hana> ActionParsnip, indeed.
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> hana: and keep that other cd handy if it borks again
[10:44] <hana> ActionParsnip, alright.
[10:45] <ghaleb>  hello, I want to export variables forever, each time I open a console I need to export them again, is there a solution ?

[10:47] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, for the Records this was the page that resolved all issues with Video and Sound on Ubuntu, Motherboard is a EVGA 132-CK-NF78-!A 3-Way SLI S-775 nVidia nForce 780i
[10:47] <Greyspacebt3> www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_177.13.html
[10:48]  * Kondensuotas_pie labas rytas
[10:49] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko,,, * _Big Thanks_ * your a great person and you know it... Thanks
[10:50] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, I am installing Nexuiz now... lol
[10:50] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: heh thanks. nice work finding that though. i have a prtty old nvidia card so i wouldnt have thought to look on their site for their newest drivers
[10:50] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: good stuff. thats a fun game
[10:50] <ikonia> br0kkN: apologies, my front door went
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> dougsko: nvidia-legacy drivers will do you if its old
[10:50] <ghaleb>  hello, I want to export variables forever, each time I open a console I need to export them again, is there a solution ?
[10:50] <Greyspacebt3> Book mark it I am sure more people like me will ask for it again
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> dougsko: envyng-gtk is good for nvidia drivers though
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> ghaleb: put them in ~/.bashrc
[10:51] <dougsko> ActionParsnip: i was actually able to use just the regular nvidia-glx package
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> dougsko: awesome
[10:51] <ghaleb> ActionParsnip: thank you
[10:51] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko this is a 350.00 dollar gaming card.. and that means people expect it to work in Ubuntu
[10:51] <bob1> I have a new Dell that I duel booted. I put a HD from another Linux PC in it but it would only mount for the session. I went to "Places", "properties", "Volume", "settings" and "Mount point". I typed /media/drive Now I cant mount the drive at all....help
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Greyspacebt3: not if the devs havent made support for it yet
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Greyspacebt3: with open source you cant expect anything, there are no garuntees
[10:52] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: i know id want it to work. but yeah, sometimes it takes a while before theres support for newer hardware like that
[10:53] <Greyspacebt3> www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_177.13.html * if you book mark this for the EVGA 132-CK-NF78-!A 3-Way SLI S-775 nVidia nForce 780i * many people will be happy
[10:53] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko,,, your the support
[10:53] <dougsko> haha
[10:53] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, lol
[10:53] <ghaleb> ActionParsnip: should I restart sth ?
[10:54] <h> ah!
[10:54] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, you helped me find this, however, it took hours..
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> ghaleb: no, just close all terminals, next time one is loaded it'll be set
[10:54] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, * Big Thanks *
[10:54] <brettt_> had god as my identd, wouldn't let me join ;p
[10:54] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: well im glad you got it working. messing with X is never fun
[10:54] <brettt_> Anyone here good, familiar with Cairo-Dock?
[10:55] <Greyspacebt3> I didn't have to touch X,,, it auto configured it
[10:55] <dougsko> always a bonus :D
[10:55] <Myrtti> does anyone have any ideas about where one can find more information about the 60 day trial of Canonicals Landscape?
[10:56] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, say no to check Nvidia for a kernel at the start.. the rest of the questions are the default
[10:56] <ghaleb> ActionParsnip: it didn't work
[10:56] <unop> ghaleb, how did you export the variable in ~/.bashrc ?
[10:56] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: easy enough
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> ghaleb: did you put export on the line, if you look through the file you'll find stuff
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: you could install webmin instead
[10:57] <ghaleb> ActionParsnip:  yes
[10:57] <bob1> I duel booted my Dell and Ubuntu works great! but it sometimes restarts several times on boot up? any ideas?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: its free forever
[10:57] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: it's not for me but for a friend who has tried to enroll for the trial and has some problems/questions about it
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: oh then ive no idea, ive used webmin a little
[10:58] <ghaleb> I copied the exported variables into the shell, it worked
[10:58] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, yeah,,, after 4 hours ,, then another 2 hours with you and dinner,, and then 30 minutes retrying it until I figured out "not to request new kernal... and let it rebuild a kernel... yeah it was easy
[10:59] <ghaleb> but it doesn't when  opening a new terminal
[10:59] <zocky> hi
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> ghaleb: type source ~/.bashrc
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> ghaleb: in terminal
[10:59] <unop> ghaleb, what's the exact line you used in your ~/.bashrc ?  maybe there's a syntax error in the export?
[10:59] <zocky> anyone know how I can turn off a usb device, as opposed to just allowing it to be suspended?
[11:00] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: heh thats all part of the fun. if everything just worked all the time, there'd be a lot less (forced) learning opportunities haha
[11:00] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, easy question how to I install a super terminal or root terminal
[11:01] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: there isnt such a thing. what exactly are you trying to do?
[11:01] <Greyspacebt3> dougsko, but my head hurts
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Greyspacebt3: no need, just sudo when you need root priveledges
[11:01] <Greyspacebt3> Actually there such a thing
[11:01] <Greyspacebt3> brb
[11:01] <unop> Greyspacebt3, you don't need to install one .. you can create a launcher that runs this command.  gksudo x-terminal-emulator
[11:01] <lmg> Greyspacebt3: actually, there is one installed
[11:01] <zocky> what unop said
[11:01] <lmg> Greyspacebt3: just enable it
[11:01] <lmg> system > preferences > startmenu
[11:02] <Greyspacebt3> lmg.. your right.. but I don't rememeber where it is
[11:02] <lmg> > main menu that is
[11:02] <Greyspacebt3> lmg.. too funny
[11:02] <vampur> hello every one
[11:02] <Cheiron>   Not in scope: `is'
[11:02] <Greyspacebt3> lmg... thanks
[11:02] <lmg> Greyspacebt3: there under "system tools" > "root terminal"
[11:02] <Greyspacebt3> Thats the one
[11:02] <Greyspacebt3> lmg... you rock
[11:02] <lmg> but what the others said is perfectly right too. it's just another launcher
[11:03] <unop> zocky, what king of a USB device is it?
[11:03] <lmg> no big deal. hth
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Greyspacebt3: gksu terminal & will sprout a root terminal
[11:03] <Greyspacebt3> lmg there she is
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Greyspacebt3: but its not needed as you are a member of admin so you can sudo stuff
[11:03] <zocky> unop, a builtin webcam
[11:03] <unop> if 'terminal' is indeed a valid command i.e.
[11:03] <zocky> unop, on a laptop
[11:03] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: you can also do a 'sudo -i' in any terminal to get a root prompt
[11:03] <vampur> i am having problem with my pendirive when i installed the slux in my pendrive and now the pendrive is not reading it only shows me the removable disk can any one help me how can i regain it ??? thanks
[11:03] <Greyspacebt3> sudo -i
[11:03] <lmg> got a problem here myself. random system freezes with firefox (64bit system)
[11:04] <Greyspacebt3> whats -i
[11:04] <Dryanta> interactive
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Greyspacebt3: man sudo
[11:04] <dougsko> Greyspacebt3: check the man page :)
[11:04] <lmg> dougsko: or sudo su -
[11:04] <Dryanta> or sudo bash
[11:04] <dougsko> lmg: or sudo bash :)
[11:04] <clarence> I'm register #ubuntu ,when  will the comfirm mail will send to my email?
[11:04] <lmg> to also get the environment of root (if that's needed)
[11:04] <unop> lmg, sudo su -  is crazy
[11:04] <Greyspacebt3> lol sudo us
[11:04] <lmg> unop: maybe, but it works :)
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> img: is it with flash pages or any pages?
[11:04] <zocky> lmg, I had random reboots with firefox for a few days last week and it somehow just went away. I updated some firefox addons in the meantime, though.
[11:05] <Greyspacebt3> lmg I like sudo us
[11:05] <Greyspacebt3> sudo su
[11:05] <unop> lmg, it works .. yes,  _unsafely_  .. use sudo -i or sudo -s to setup the environment properly
[11:05] <lmg> ActionParsnip: not sure. since it freezes before displaying the page
[11:05] <vampur>  i am having problem with my pendirive when i installed the slux in my pendrive and now the pendrive is not reading it only shows me the removable disk can any one help me how can i regain it ??? thanks
[11:05] <lmg> unop: that's for that. will try to remember
[11:05] <clarence> how to set ubuntu kernel?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> lmg: try renaming you ~/.mozilla folder after closing all firefoxes, just to test
[11:05] <lmg> unop: s/that's/thanks
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> clarence: in menu.lst
[11:06] <lmg> ActionParsnip: you think it's a plugin problem?
[11:06] <Greyspacebt3> I don't mind sudo for a session... but running sudo every command drives me nuts
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> img: no idea, just testing
[11:06] <clarence> what meaning?
[11:06] <brettt_> can anyone help with cairo-dock?
[11:06] <lmg> ActionParsnip: had to do some wierd stuff to get the flashplugin32 wrapped and output sound to pulse
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Greyspacebt3: once you sudo you dont have to type the password again
[11:06] <negge> vampur: you mean you can't access the drive anymore?
[11:06] <lmg> ActionParsnip: it's L mg, not i.
[11:06] <vampur> yes
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> lmg: took me a while eh
[11:07] <vampur> not even it's being formatting
[11:07] <lmg> ActionParsnip: heh.
[11:07] <unop> zocky, not sure your webcam would support this -- but you could try adjusting hal properties .. see hal-set-property and hal-get-property
[11:07] <negge> vampur: and you want to remove the flux thing from it so it's empty again?
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> lmg: try nspluginwrapper with the adobe 32bit plugin
[11:07] <lmg> ActionParsnip: that's what I have. + libflashhelp
[11:07] <clarence> how to set the ubuntu kernel?
[11:07] <zocky> unop, will try, thanks
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> clarence: you select it in menu.lst
[11:08] <vampur> i just want to access my pendrive and is dere any way i can do so as when i try to read from either win os or linux os both it says removable disk but couldn't read
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> clarence: i told you
[11:08] <negge> vampur: you probably have to reformat it. You can use gparted for this
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> clarence: that file tells the system how to boot and which kernel to use
[11:08] <michaesaur> What's the Package called to apt MySQL?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> clarence: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:08] <vampur> can u help me gparted
[11:08] <negge> michaesaur: mysql-server
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> !sql | michaesaur
[11:08] <lmg> michaesaur: server? mysql-server
[11:09] <michaesaur> !mysql | michaesaur
[11:09] <lmg> michaesaur: apt-cache search mysql
[11:09] <clarence> I saw  the Internet , someone say use "make menuconfig"
[11:09] <negge> vampur: open a terminal and write "sudo apt-get install gparted", after it is installed go to System --> Administration --> Partition editor, select the appropriate device and format the partition (or remove all partitions and create a new one)
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> clarence: thats compiling the kernel
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> clarence: well, part of
[11:09] <bob1> My PC has a hard time starting. Sometimes restarting several times. any ideas?
[11:10] <clarence> but it was faild
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> bob1: run the memory scanner and fsck your partitions
[11:10] <negge> bob1: start without the splash screen so you can see where it goes wrong
[11:10] <lmg> guys, not really an ubuntu-question, but: how hot are harddrives expected to become? mine are 40,42 and 43 deg celsius. is that okay?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> clarence: you need the kernel source as well as the build-essential package
[11:10] <|ns|nR8> yeah its fine lmg
[11:10] <mm2000> hit there, how can i install locale en_GB (not UTF8) from terminal?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> lmg: sounds ok
[11:11] <bob1> negge, how do I satrt w/o the splash screen?
[11:11] <lmg> |ns|nR8, ActionParsnip: ok, thanks. I was a little worried.
[11:11] <unop> mm2000, dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales #probably
[11:11] <RichiH> lmg: anything above 30 degrees celsius is bad, but in reality, 40-ish is an OK value
[11:11] <|ns|nR8> lmg, ive had drives taht would burn your hand if you left it there
[11:11] <clarence> how to speed up the Ubuntu 8.04 of the boot speed?
[11:11] <lmg> bob1: remove "quiet" and/or "splash" from the boot-line in menu.lst
[11:12] <negge> bob1: when you get to the GRUB screen, press E to edit the boot line, then remove the "quiet splash" part at the end
[11:12] <lmg> |ns|nR8: yeah, they _are_ hot.
[11:12] <bob1> Thanks Everyone
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> clarence: fewer startup services, more ram, faster hard drives
[11:12] <vampur> can any one help i am unable to see and mount my pendrive
[11:12] <bob1> BRB
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> vampur: sudo fdisk -l show it?
[11:12] <vampur> wether in the wins os and linux
[11:12] <negge> vampur: did you install gparted?
[11:12] <vampur> even not showing in gparted
[11:12] <vampur> yes
[11:12] <negge> vampur: tried another USB port?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> vampur: what /dev is it and what file system?
[11:13] <lmg> vampur: did you set the right device in gparted? (to right pulldown iirc)
[11:13] <lmg> top right
[11:13] <vampur> dear i am saying my pendrive is fat32 format and yestd i installed slux in it
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> vampur: what /dev is it in the fdisk output?
[11:14] <lmg> what's slux? a mix of slax + ubuntu?
[11:14] <Greyspacebt3> Is there a install that will show you your temperatures
[11:14] <lmg> Greyspacebt3: lmsensors
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> lmg: if you run sudo fdisk -l you will get an output. Which /dev is the pendrive (e.g. /dev/sdb)
[11:14] <lmg> + the applet + the driver for your mobos chip
[11:14] <|ns|nR8> does that report temps on sata drives lmg or just IDE
[11:15] <Greyspacebt3> lmg... hate to be a leach... but that was too easy
[11:15] <Greyspacebt3> lol
[11:15] <clarence> but I found drag start-up rate for drivers is, how to solve
[11:15] <vampur> Unable to open /dev/eda
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> |ns|nR8: all hard drives are IDE, i think you mean PATA
[11:15] <lmg> ActionParsnip: thanks for trying to help, but I don't have any troubles with my drives ;)
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> vampur: ok cool
[11:15] <vampur> it's unable to read the drive
[11:15] <vampur> can i just format and make it fresh
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> lmg: sorry wrong nick
[11:16] <lmg> ActionParsnip: no prob, I figured.
[11:16] <lmg> Greyspacebt3: what motherboard?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> vampur: ok sudo mkdir /mnt/stick; sudo mount /dev/eda /mnt/stick vfat
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> vampur: does all that work?
[11:16] <Greyspacebt3> EVGA 132-CK-NF78-!A 3-Way SLI S-775 nVidia nForce 780i
[11:17] <Greyspacebt3> This Motherboard is the best that I have ever had
[11:17] <subtwo> does anyone know of a good online backup service that works with ubuntu, I've been looking at rsync.net and bqbackup - any other suggestions?
[11:17] <Greyspacebt3> it is pricey 245.00 but its built for today and for next month
[11:17] <lmg> Greyspacebt3: do you have a binary (script) called "sensors-detect" in your path (prolly after installing "lmsensors") ?
[11:17] <vampur> den
[11:18] <vampur> with stick vfat ntn happen
[11:18] <lmg> subtwo: g-drive for small files.
[11:18] <vampur> and with only stick one it did nothing
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> vampur: cd /mnt
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> cd stick
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> ls
[11:18] <Greyspacebt3> I am still searching for lmsensors
[11:18] <subtwo> Img: thanks, but I'm looking at somewhere between 50GB and 100GB
[11:18] <vampur> now what
[11:19] <lmg> Greyspacebt3: since this is not too ubuntu-specific, you can PM me if you want to.
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> vampur: do you see files?
[11:19] <vampur> nopes
[11:19] <vampur> how
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> vampur: ok
[11:20] <Greyspacebt3> lmg.. thanks I will for UBuntu specific its called lm-sensors
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> cd ~/ sudo umount /mnt/stick
[11:20]  * lmg grins evilly
[11:20] <vampur> now den
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> vampur: cfdisk /dev/eda
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> vampur: with sudo
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> vampur: then delete any partitions and recreate
[11:21] <clarence> how to speed up the driver loading in the booting?
[11:21] <lmg> vampur: and make _sure_ you're using the right device
[11:22] <vampur> it says cannot open disk
[11:22] <lmg> vampur: does `df` list your drive?
[11:23] <vampur> pardon me lmg dear
[11:23] <lmg> df is a command
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> vampur: then sudo fsck /dev/eda
[11:23] <lmg> but since ActionParsnip is takin' care of you - I'll try to shut up ;)
[11:23] <vampur> fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)

[11:23] <vampur> fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/eda
[11:25] <vampur> hey i can only be honoured if i can just only format it and can read and access it
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> vampur: can you repartition it in windows?
[11:26] <unop> fsck won't run on a physical device
[11:26] <lmg> vampur: pull out your drive, tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it in again.
[11:26] <unop> fsck /dev/eda1  #perhaps
[11:26] <lmg> this is what happens here if I plug in a FAT32 stick -> http://pastebin.com/d53134c6c

[11:30] <Abracadabra> Can anyone tell me how to list recursively with folder ?
[11:30] <Abracadabra> ls -ltrR | grep icmpInSrcQuenchs | grep 2008-09-08 | more but I need it to list the folders
[11:30] <unop> Abracadabra, list what though?
[11:30] <vampur> okh
[11:30] <vampur> sorry
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> vampur: just tell the last line, scrolling isnt cool
[11:30] <unop> Abracadabra, what are you trying to do?
[11:31] <unop> vampur, it /dev/eda  the device name of your harddrive?
[11:31] <unop> vampur,  eda doesn't sound right
[11:31] <Abracadabra> unop, I am trying to find all the files icmpInSrcQuenchs, recursively by a specific date and to find out which of those files are in which folder
[11:32] <vampur> dear unop how may i get the right name of the drive
[11:32] <unop> vampur,  sudo fdisk -l
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> vampur: id get testdisk installed. I think yuo can write a FAT to the device
[11:33] <unop> Abracadabra, you should use find instead.  something like.   find /path -iname '*icmpinsrcquenchs*' -type f -newer $SOME_DATE -exec dirname {} \;
[11:33] <Abracadabra> unop, so I start in /usr/folder (inside folder, there are over 200 subfolders, all named by numbers .... in each of those folders are the file icmpInSrcQuenchs). I need to list the ones that have been updating today, and in which folders they are in
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> vampur: yes, testdisk can write an mbr to the device which may or may not make it work
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> vampur: you can always uninstall it
[11:35] <vampur> dear action i installed testdisk now what to do
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> sudo testdisk
[11:36] <unop> Abracadabra,  find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1  #should list files modified in the last 24 hours
[11:37] <vampur> now dere are option for creat log append file and no log
[11:37] <unop> Abracadabra, if you just want the directories these files belong in.  find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1 -exec dirname {} \; | sort | uniq
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> vampur: no need for a log
[11:37] <vampur> then

[11:39] <vampur> only one media is being displyed
[11:39] <valentinex> Hello i am new i want to install flashplayer
[11:39] <Abracadabra> unop, ty, and if I want to check files that have updated in the last 30 mins for eg ?
[11:39] <Abracadabra> instead of the last day..
[11:39] <lmg> valentinex: google "medibuntu repository" add it following the directions and install "flashplayer-nonfree"
[11:40] <carrera> can anyone tell me if there's a problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash"?
[11:40] <valentinex> lmg: how to add directions
[11:40] <unop> Abracadabra,  hmm, see the  -newer option to find
[11:40] <unop> Abracadabra, also the -?time options
[11:40] <valentinex> lmg:  its in .tar.gz extension which i downloaded
[11:41] <unop> carrera, sudo bash does not set the environment up in the same way  sudo -i does .. the former is not recommended
[11:41] <unop> carrera, if i remember right,  sudo bash  is somewhat like  sudo -s
[11:41] <unop> though not exactly
[11:41] <carrera> thanks unop, why isn't it recommended?
[11:42] <carrera> unop, so I shouldn't use it to run commands like "make install"?
[11:42] <valentinex> how to handle a downloaded .tar.gz file?
[11:42] <Abracadabra> unop, ok, ty
[11:42] <lmg> valentinex: that is for local install ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/
[11:43] <mrglinux> are there any mail client program that it can separate each account in side bar (like outlook 2003) not each email from each account stand in a inbox ?
[11:43] <unop> carrera, because the environment still has variables referencing your files, directories, etc .. and if any files are created (in your directories), only root will be able to open them -- which is almost never what you want.
[11:43] <carrera> unop, man page says:  The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL envi‐
[11:43] <carrera>            ronment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in
[11:43] <carrera>            passwd(5).
[11:43] <unop> carrera,  sudo make install #should be enough
[11:43] <valentinex> lmg:  i am totally new . i should enter that in terminal? i dont know much about computer too
[11:43] <carrera> unop, so it seems like sudo -s is exactly like "sudo bash"
[11:44] <carrera> unop, thanks. I used to do "sudo -i" before I ran make install
[11:44] <lmg> valentinex: extract libflashplayer...
[11:44] <vampur> the media i mean the pendrive is not being displeyd in testdisk
[11:44] <unop> carrera, it's safer to use sudo -i  unless you really really want otherwise
[11:44] <lmg> valentinex: cut it. goto /home/valentinex/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ and paste it there.
[11:45] <unop> carrera, though it doesn't make sense to sudo -i just to run make install .. as you can just run make under sudo
[11:46] <zacha> What's "menu>quit..." called? I want to find out how to add more options to it (hibernate + sleep etc)
[11:46] <carrera> unop, so which is better, to just run "sudo make install" or to login to root interactively?
[11:46] <unop> carrera, sudo make install
[11:46] <carrera> ok
[11:47] <lmg> carrera: sudo (without any switches) preserves your environment (display, path) which is needed by some programs.
[11:47] <cabi>  #ubuntuusers
[11:47] <valentinex> lmg: home/valentine etc after that i am unable to find mozilla
[11:47] <vampur> now wthat can i do just to format my pendrive as it's not able to read
[11:48] <carrera> lmg, thanks. Isn't it best to use root's env for make install as in other Unix/Linux?
[11:48] <lmg> valentinex: note: it's .mozilla
[11:48] <xr600> Anyone here got experience with getting Symbian phones to work with Ubuntu ?!
[11:48] <lmg> valentinex: a hidden file with a .(dot) in front
[11:48] <unop> vampur,  what name does   fdisk -l   report about your device?
[11:48] <valentinex> lmg:  should i type that address in terminal?
[11:48] <plouffe> ..
[11:48] <Slasher`> xr600, my nokia 6300 just works when i plug it in, i use data storage mode
[11:49] <lmg> valentinex: you can type in nautilus adress bar, or show hidden files (CTRL+H iirc)
[11:49] <unop> carrera, not really, you just need to be root to run 'make install'
[11:49] <unop> carrera, meaning, you need root's privileges
[11:49] <valentinex> lmg:  found it doing
[11:49] <carrera> unop, thaks
[11:50] <xr600> Slasher`Hm... How about Sync+uploading MP#'s to the bastad ?!
[11:50] <xr600> Slasher`Mine is a Samsung i450
[11:50] <Slasher`> xr600, MP's?
[11:50] <lmg> valentinex: sorry, mistake. it's /home/valentine/.mozilla/plugins (strip the firefox/ parrt)

[11:50] <xr600> Slasher`... Whoops, that would be MP3's :D
[11:50] <valentinex> lmg: after firefox there is not plugin folder
[11:50] <Slasher`> rofl
[11:51] <darren> Hi does any one know how to set up hotmail in evoloution
[11:51] <valentinex> lmg:  after mozilla there is also no plugin folder
[11:51] <Slasher`> xr600, when i plug my phone in it just gives me 3 options, nokia mode, something else and data storage, i pick data storage and can use it like a pen drive
[11:51] <carrera> what's in the medibuntu repository?
[11:51] <xr600> Slasher`My 'old' SE phone would show up in Rythmbox...
[11:51] <lmg> valentinex: create one. put libflashplayer... in there.
[11:52] <lmg> valentinex: restart firefox, flash away
[11:52] <Slasher`> xr600, hmm just looked about and can't see anything, so i can't help you there, sorry :(
[11:52] <carrera> can anyone tell me how I can add medibuntu repository?
[11:52] <carrera> I don't see it in the Software Sources list
[11:53] <bastid_raZor> !medibuntu | carrera
[11:53] <ben34> what is the program called which you can install a copy of xp emulated under ubuntu
[11:53] <xr600> Slasher`No prob... IRC is'nt my first cry for help either ;)
[11:53] <bastid_raZor> ben34; vmware or virtualbox
[11:53] <carrera> thanks bastid_raZor
[11:53] <ben34> virtualbox was what i was thinking of
[11:53] <ben34> thanks
[11:54] <carrera> bastid_raZor, isn't VirtualBox better for running XP?
[11:54] <valentinex> lmg:  Thanks :D it worked
[11:54] <bastid_raZor> carrera; i use VMWare and i've never used VirtualBox.. so i can't really say.
[11:54] <darren> hi does any one know how to install hotmail in evolution
[11:55] <unop> darren, hotmail does not support POP/SMTP/IMAP -- so my guess is you can't
[11:55] <Badboy_> Is it possible to write a recursive Macro(function like) in C
[11:56] <carrera> bastid_raZor, VMWare runs really slow on my laptop
[11:56] <darren> unop: what does hotmail support
[11:56] <carrera> bastid_raZor, to the point that I gave up
[11:56] <unop> Badboy_, write a macro where exactly?

[11:57] <clarence> how to speed up the driver loading speed in the booting?
[11:57] <Badboy_> Oh no! actually this is only for experiment

[11:59] <lmg> valentinex: cool :)
[11:59] <xMassi1986x> Hi
[11:59] <Badboy_> Now I thought whether macro supports recursion or not
[11:59] <michaesaur> lmg: you should try from source.  Crux is a good banker.
[11:59] <dooglus> Badboy_: C preprocessor macros can't be recursive, but recursion can be achieved using C++'s template mechanism
[11:59] <AlexCONRAD> what would you recommend as an client app that handles FTP, SFTP, etc ...
[11:59] <lmg> michaesaur: come again. crux, banker?
[12:00] <dooglus> AlexCONRAD: GNU Emacs
[12:00] <Badboy_> thanx dooglus
[12:00] <michaesaur> lmg: i am the oracle.  you will follow directions because.  you are the one.
[12:00]  * lmg nods in agreement
[12:00] <AlexCONRAD> dooglus: I need a more GUI app :)
[12:01] <d0c5i5> I'm having a problem getting ubuntu to connect to our PIX, my pcf file works on windows, but when i try to import it into KVpnc, it keeps insisting that I enter a username/password (as opposed to group password)... Any suggestions?
[12:01] <lmg> I will do as you command, oracle, sir.
[12:01] <dooglus> AlexCONRAD: how about filezilla then?
[12:02] <michaesaur> oh.  i'm in #ubuntu.  oops.
[12:02] <AlexCONRAD> yeah, I was using this before under windows, but it's a win32 client ... I thought there might have more "linux" alternative

[12:04] <y3k> i've got a question regarding syslinux and grub error 17, anyone wish to help me?
[12:05] <y3k> ok nevermind, i need sleep. goodnight
[12:05] <lmg> can one use gparted to edit the systems / partition?
[12:05] <lmg> guess not while it's mounted.
[12:05] <lmg> but how would I do that then?
[12:05] <y3k> nope, you have to use gparted live CD or some other source
[12:06] <y3k> or an ubuntu liveCD would work too (i think it does have gparted on it)
[12:07] <lmg> y3k: yeah, I figured.
[12:07] <lmg> what If I dropped to single user mode. unmounted / and ran gparted from said live-CD?
[12:08] <d0c5i5> lmg: you would have to switch root
[12:08] <d0c5i5> lmg: why not boot the live CD?
[12:09] <y3k> i still don't get why my gparted Live USB gives me grub error 17
[12:09] <d0c5i5> lmg: there are also gparted boot isos
[12:11] <goldmetal> is there a terminal version of 'system monitor' with cpu / ram / network graph
[12:11] <goldmetal> ?
[12:12] <lmg> d0c5i5: just thinking about it.
[12:13] <dashavoo> goldmetal, try htop
[12:13] <dashavoo> no network thing, but cpu and ram things
[12:14] <goldmetal> dashavoo, kick ass!!!

[12:15] <ElemonGW> has anyone managed to make this motherboard work (http://ee.giga-byte.com/products/mb/specs/ga-ep43-ds3l_10.html)? i am thinking of buying it but i have heard there are no drivers for it in linux...
[12:15] <kooothor_> dashavoo, never heard of conky ?
[12:15] <dashavoo> kooothor_, no
[12:16] <kooothor_> then google it
[12:16] <kooothor_> it's pretty nice
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> ElemonGW: just checking now
[12:16] <dashavoo> cool, I will have a look, ta
[12:17] <kooothor_> dashavoo, look at my conky : http://xs231.xs.to/xs231/08371/screenshot4587.png
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> ElemonGW: looks supported enough, intel loves linux
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> ElemonGW: the sound is supported too but can need a bit of work
[12:19] <clarence> who can answer my question?
[12:19] <ElemonGW> ActionParsnip: nice... a bit of work could be what? using a newer kernel than the one provided with ubuntu? will ubuntu 8.10 have more luck as it has a more recent ((& unstable) kernel?
[12:19] <dashavoo> kooothor_, that looks cool, but its an X11 app =(
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> clarence: what is the question
[12:19] <jrib> clarence: best to just repeat instead of asking that
[12:20] <cheeky> morning
[12:20] <cheeky> any one up ?
[12:20] <kooothor_> dashavoo, yeah, you're not using x11 at all ?
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> ElemonGW: theres a few packages you'll need, theres documentation about it everywhere, it may even work out of the box
[12:20] <kooothor_> dashavoo, so try htop
[12:20] <cheeky> whao for a moment thought this roomwas dead
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> cheeky: ive been up 5 hours now

[12:21] <ActionParsnip> cheeky: or websearch

[12:33] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: gimp
[12:33] <g33k_gir1> ActionParsnip: isn't that more of a replacement for Photoshop?
[12:33] <jrib> g33k_gir1: tried inkscape?
[12:33] <stuporglue> g33k_gir1 -- Inkscape
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: both corel draw and photoshop are graphics packages
[12:35] <stuporglue> gimp is for raster graphics, inkscape is for vector graphics. I think corel draw is more for vector work, isn't it?
[12:35] <coz_> stuporglue, I believe you are right
[12:35] <freexe> Hi, I've been having problems with using 2 music players like hypem.com inside firefox and listen. Is there a easy fix so they can both play at the same time?
[12:35] <g33k_gir1> nope ... haven't tried Inkscape. I've manage to convince my supervisor to make the switch to linux on her personal machine. Is Inkscape easy to use for a windows-convert with windows-only computer skills (ie, she aint gonna be running anything on the command line until she gets her confidence up)
[12:35] <jrib> g33k_gir1: it's all graphical
[12:36] <stuporglue> Inkscape is very slick and even works with Wacom tablets. It's cross platform and has good documentation.
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> freexe: make them use alsa in your sound prefs
[12:37] <coz_> g33k_gir1,  are you trying to find linux replacements for windows applications?
[12:37] <stuporglue> My computer locks up hard every time I try to do a large file transfer (multiple gigs). It doesn't crash immediately, but at some random time during the file transfer.

[12:37] <g33k_gir1> coz_: yes
[12:37] <coz_> g33k_gir1,  hold on I think I have alink for that specifically
[12:37] <g33k_gir1> trying to make the switch as small a "culture-shock" as possible
[12:37] <Pici> g33k_gir1: Inkscape has a version for Windows too, why not try that out first before switchign to Ubuntu?
[12:38] <clarence> how to speed  up driver loading speed?
[12:38] <dooglus> g33k_gir1: inkscape is pretty easy to use.  it's available for windows too ( http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.46.win32.exe )
[12:38] <freexe> AccessExcess, how do I make flash use alsa?
[12:38] <remoteCTR1> sudo: unable to resolve host myhost how do i fix this?

[12:39] <clarence> how to do ?

[12:40] <remoteCTR1> jrib: sec pls
[12:40] <g33k_gir1> ActionParsnip: its a self-motivated -- if I plan now, while I have the machine in front of me, I will (hopefully) reduce the quantity of tech calls I get for help ;)
[12:40] <coz_> g33k_gir1, most of the applications do have linux alternatives

[12:55] <vikku> ActionParsnip : yea (Kqemu) , from source
[12:55] <ushimitsudoki> Drezard: is the problem the "purging" or the "installing" part?
[12:55] <Sexy_guy> kiiwii hello Whence you?

[13:22] <Emm> date -d "last month" +%m
[13:23] <stuporglue> I don't think you even need a free partition. Doesn't Wubi just install to a file on the Windows partition?
[13:23] <amanulla> ActionParsnip:now i have 3 operating sysytems working on my computer xp+ubuntu7.04+ubuntu8.04(in xp using wiki)

[13:39] <KenBW22> which package do i need to install to read wma's?
[13:40] <dr_willis> !w32codecs | KenBW22
[13:40] <Rajec> guys I have Intel Core 2 DUO 2160 so I should download  ubuntu for 64bit AMD and Intel computers right?
[13:40] <amanulla> see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/
[13:40] <drue_> After i do sudo dpkg --configure -a will it let me install updates?
[13:40] <amanulla> any one
[13:40] <dr_willis> KenBW22,  install the w32codecs pack for starters
[13:40] <amanulla> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/
[13:40] <jrib> Rajec: 32bit will work as well if you want to use that
[13:40] <brettt_> Hi, is there a command in terminal that will show like systeminfo?
[13:40] <jrib> brettt_: lspci and lshw
[13:40] <Rajec> jrib: yeah I see but 64bit should be better once I have 64bit CPU
[13:40] <KenBW22> dr_willis: ive already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, dunno if that has the w32codecs package in it
[13:41] <jrib> Rajec: how much ram do you have?
[13:41] <dr_willis> KenBW22,  if you dident have medibuntu enabled.. it dident.
[13:41] <dr_willis> I think.
[13:41] <dooglus> amanulla: "using wiki"?  what do you mean by that?
[13:41] <Rajec> jrib: 1gb ;) but for example I heard that 64bit Vista version is faster than 32bit
[13:41] <ikonia> Rajec: you heard wrong
[13:41] <amanulla> i have installed ubuntu 8 in xp as an application software in xp using wiki
[13:41] <dr_willis> Rajec,  i imagine it depends on the tasks the OS is doing.. I dont find it any faster. :)
[13:42] <ikonia> amanulla: wubi
[13:42] <KenBW22> dr_willis: i can *play* the wma's, but im trying to convert ione to mp3 using soundKonverter. but it doesn't list wma's as a supported format
[13:42] <JackTop> hmm i think i really have problems.  parted shows / as sda5, but grub need it as (hd0,6)
[13:42] <Rajec> ikonia: thats experience of one of my (very experienced) friend
[13:42] <lrojas> i just installed ubuntu server, and i was following the documentation to install lighttpd + ruby + rails, everything installed ok but now when i try to access the site, it says conection refused... what am i doing wrong?
[13:42] <ikonia> Rajec: he's wrong
[13:42] <amanulla> it mean i can uninstall it when ever i need from add r remove programs
[13:42] <ikonia> Rajec: and doesn't appear that experienced
[13:42] <ikonia> JackTop: thats correct
[13:42] <dooglus> amanulla: you just said "using wiki" again.  what do you mean by that?  wikis are a kind of website that users can edit
[13:42] <lrojas> anybody?
[13:42] <JackTop> i'm pretty sure that sda6 used to be my root...
[13:42] <Pici> dooglus: amanulla means Wubi
[13:42] <ushimitsudoki> amanulla: wubi?
[13:42] <amanulla> ok im wrong its wubi
[13:42] <jrib> Rajec: I don't see why, 64bit just lets you address > 4GB ram.  You won't notice a speed difference if there is one anyway.  The issue is that some software isn't available for 64bit.  For a desktop user, I can only thing of the lack of sun's java plugin for 64bit
[13:42] <ikonia> JackTop: why is that a problem ?
[13:43] <dr_willis> KenBW22,  thats a different thing then. :)  It may not even support wma. or it may be a compile time option. I would check the ubuntu forums, and perhaps the soundkonverter homepage.
[13:43] <dooglus> JackTop: sda6 is (hd0,5) I think
[13:43] <nAhIaN> Pici: I've runned that command the nany other command do I need to do ???
[13:43] <drue_> Setting up gnome-games-data (1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2) ... How long does this normally Take?
[13:43] <Pici> nAhIaN: Nope, that should do it
[13:43] <ikonia> dooglus: depends on the extended partition layout, but your correct
[13:43] <sipior> lrojas: well, is the web server running?
[13:43] <Rajec> dr_willis, ikonia, jrib so rather 32bit  beccuase of potencial problems with 64bit version
[13:43] <KenBW22> dr_willis: oh right. i had the same problem with mp3's until i installed lame. assumed there must be one for wma's as well
[13:43] <dr_willis> Rajec,  for most people i dont see much reason to go 64bit unless you got lots of ram.
[13:44] <amanulla> konia:is it wubi
[13:44] <dr_willis> KenBW22,  no idea on that . I never touch wma's :)
[13:44] <jrib> Rajec: that's what I would recommend, yes
[13:44] <dooglus> JackTop: I have "root (hd0,1)" and "root=/dev/hda2"
[13:44] <Rajec> dr_willis, ikonia, jrib ok thanks ;)
[13:44] <KenBW22> dr_willis: i dont normally, but there wasnt an mp3 available
[13:44] <amanulla> ikonia: is it wubi or wiki?
[13:44] <ikonia> amanulla: wubi
[13:44] <nAhIaN> Pici: thanks
[13:44] <amanulla> ok
[13:44] <dr_willis> KenBW22,  you may want to google for wma to wav converter apps and see whats out.
[13:44] <dr_willis> !wma
[13:45] <JackTop> ikonia: don't know seems i lost my swap partition.  i've tried to repair my partitioning. both parted and qtparted showed problems.  ok maybe they have all moved now.  i'm happy i can boot again.  is there some utility that will check the integrety of my partitioning?
[13:45] <amanulla> any one for meeee
[13:45] <ikonia> JackTop: fsck will check your file system integrity
[13:46] <zacha> I had one unformatted partition that was 1024MB. When I formatted it to linux-swap, It has left over a 7mb unformatted partition. How do I get the 1019MB and 7.84MB back together?
[13:46] <moncojhr> im getting constantly this error in my syslogs Sep  8 22:30:09 ubuntu pulseaudio[6633]: protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue , whats going on?
[13:46] <RyanPrior> I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it?
[13:46] <dr_willis> amanulla,  i imagine everyone has totally frogotten your original question now.. YOu may wish to rephrase/summarize it in a better format.
[13:46] <riegersn> Im on a desktop that always powered on, can I turn off the 2 power management services (acpid & apmd) ?
[13:46] <amanulla> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/
[13:47] <amanulla> its in clear over here
[13:47] <JackTop> ikonia: and how can i check that the partition table is ok ?
[13:47] <amanulla> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/
[13:47] <ikonia> JackTop: why would it not be - the partition table is either valid - or invalid
[13:47] <drue_> Will sudo dpkg --configure -a Also fix my sound driver cause i had a power outage which caused all of this
[13:47] <JackTop> ikonia: i think something went wrong when i was resizing the disk using qparted
[13:47] <dr_willis> amanulla,  not everyone has a web browser handy. a summary is always handy.
[13:48] <nAhIaN> Pici: I am using amsn for msn mesenger but for yahoo which one is better than pidgin brother, in pidgin I dont get any notification if user come online or offline
[13:48] <ikonia> JackTop: so if you can mount the partitions there is a valid partition table
[13:48] <amanulla> ok i need to configure internet connection  in ubuntu 7.04 how can i
[13:48] <ikonia> JackTop: I'd be more worried about your file system
[13:48] <Pici> nAhIaN: I'm not sure, sorry. I dont a messaging client.
[13:48] <nAhIaN> Pici: ohh ok
[13:49] <arvind> nAhIaN, use the plugins in pidgin for that ... then there is kopete
[13:49] <ricc101> Hi can anyone help me on how to install drivers via the terminal?
[13:49] <amanulla> dr_willis:can  you get my problem
[13:49] <Muhammad_Saad> Hello, I have recently configured my display settings and since then, the gdm log-in screen is not displayed properly. Everything else is working but I cannot see the options menu while logging in. Any help?
[13:49] <ikonia> ricc101: what drivers ?
[13:49] <amanulla> is im clear/
[13:49] <JackTop> ok, i suppose that i have to unmount the fs before being able to fsck ?
[13:49] <arvind> ricc101, drivers for what?
[13:49] <ricc101> the lovely creative x-fi ones :/
[13:49] <ikonia> JackTop: thats a very good idea
[13:49] <riegersn> Im on a desktop that always powered on, can I turn off the 2 power management services (acpid & apmd) ?
[13:49] <ikonia> ricc101: there should be documentation with the drivers on what to do / how to use them
[13:50] <ricc101> I am trying to do that but the i cant get it to run in the root directory
[13:50] <dr_willis> amanulla,  this is a wired network? or wireless?   i have no machines with 7.04 so really cant walk you through the menus either.
[13:50] <ikonia> ricc101: what command are you trying to do, and what error
[13:50] <drue_> Does anyone know if i can reinstall my sound drivers Via Terminal?
[13:50] <ikonia> drue_: 1.) why do you want to re-install 2.) what drivers ?
[13:50] <ricc101> says bash ./: is a directory
[13:50] <drue_> my sound dont work anymore
[13:50] <ikonia> ricc101: your just doing ./ ???
[13:51] <ricc101> when i type in ./ installer
[13:51] <ikonia> ricc101: ./installer
[13:51] <ricc101> the files are there i've moved them
[13:51] <ikonia> drue_: so why re-install your sound card drivers ?
[13:51] <amanulla> dr_willis:i cant get your question
[13:51] <ikonia> ricc101: what command does the docs tell you to run
[13:51] <drue_> when i open volume i get this "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[13:51] <amanulla> can you be clear?
[13:52] <ikonia> drue_: what happened to break the setup, what did you do ?
[13:52] <dr_willis> amanulla,  this is a wired network? or wireless?    (seems very clear to me)
[13:52] <riegersn> Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to find out what services I can disable and what I can't ?
[13:52] <drue_> it work but i had a power outage then when i rebooted it didnt work
[13:52] <arvind> drue_, was the sound working previously?
[13:52] <amanulla> are you asking about my network connection?
[13:52] <drue_> yes
[13:52] <ikonia> riegersn: you should be able to enable/disable any service you want
[13:52] <ricc101> it says Run one of the following commands as root in the terminal:
[13:53] <ricc101> ./installer
[13:53] <ikonia> riegersn: most are controlled by init scripts
[13:53] <amanulla> dr_willis:are you asking about my network connection?
[13:53] <ricc101> which i did and it says no such file or directory which is bull
[13:53] <dr_willis> amanulla,  err.. yes..
[13:53] <arvind> drue_, after you ran sudo dpkg --configure -a what happend?
[13:53] <ikonia> riegersn: so you need to run ./installer in the directory where the file "installer" exists
[13:53] <drue_> it done a bunch of stuff
[13:53] <amanulla> it is a wired
[13:53] <amanulla> one
[13:53] <drue_> it fixed my updates
[13:53] <riegersn> ikonia, but i know there are some services that is best to keep on
[13:54] <amanulla> its a point to point connection
[13:54] <ikonia> riegersn: such as ?
[13:54] <ikonia> riegersn: you only keep on what you want
[13:54] <ikonia> riegersn: what you keep on is what you want
[13:54] <amanulla> type pppoe ethernet interface
[13:54] <amanulla> is im clear?
[13:54] <dr_willis> amanulla,  You are trying to run a single cable from one pc to another with no router/hub?  Im not clear on how pppoe fits into that.
[13:55] <brettt_> Hi, is there anyway to make my whole top panel transparent
[13:55] <ricc101> where is the root directory
[13:55] <riegersn> ikonia, so i can disable like "system communication bus (dbus)" and not have any issues?
[13:55] <brettt_> with out making the icons and text disapear?
[13:55] <dGodFatheR> i need some instant help please, i am in a vnc session and i minimized my windows only they disappeared from the screen
[13:55] <Pici> ricc101:
[13:55] <Pici> ricc101: /
[13:55] <dGodFatheR> how do i get them back to view? i need the console and everything else
[13:55] <amanulla> i have a wireless box over my upstairs from there its wired to my system is im clear?
[13:55] <ikonia> riegersn: depends on what you want to do, dbus is important to the desktop
[13:55] <ricc101> im in there for the terminal but i need to put the files to run it
[13:55] <jrib> dGodFatheR: does alt-tab work maybe?
[13:56] <arvind_khadri> drue_, sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
[13:56] <ikonia> riegersn: run the command in the directory where "installer" exists
[13:56] <dGodFatheR> jrib: No man it's the first thing i tried
[13:56] <riegersn> ikonia, see thats what I mean, i want to slim this box down but don't know what all the services do
[13:56] <drue_> ok thanks
[13:56] <ikonia> riegersn: then just disable the obvious stuff
[13:56] <dGodFatheR> it changes through my host pc applications
[13:56] <arvind_khadri> drue_, try that...
[13:56] <ikonia> riegersn: things like dbus are low resource anyway
[13:56] <dGodFatheR> but not inside the vnc
[13:56] <amanulla> ok will be back in few minutes byeee for nowwwww
[13:57] <riegersn> ikonia, is there a site that can explain what they all do?
[13:57] <jrib> dGodFatheR: you have a panel at the top?
[13:57] <riegersn> ikonia, thats really what Im looking for
[13:57] <dGodFatheR> yes a vnc config panel
[13:57] <dGodFatheR> jrib: yes a vnc config panel
[13:57] <ikonia> riegersn: well, there are various sites such as tldp.org that has basic overview to linux which will include some services
[13:57] <dGodFatheR> with 3 options
[13:57] <drue_> ok let me finish these updates
[13:57] <jrib> dGodFatheR: you are in ubuntu right?
[13:59] <RyanPrior> I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it?
[13:59] <evilclutch> hello
[14:00] <PredaGR> hello people, my firefox installed adobe flash player, but no sound coming, was wondering how I can fix it
[14:00] <arvind_khadri> PredaGR, which FF??
[14:01] <PredaGR> 3.0.1
[14:01] <kbrosnan> PredaGR: see known issues section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio
[14:01] <arvind_khadri> PredaGR, enable backports and check for the latest one
[14:01] <kbrosnan> 3.0.1 is the latest
[14:02] <drue_> ok that didnt fix my sound problem, Is there a way i can uninstall then reinstall gstreamer?
[14:02] <zacha> How do I merge two unformatted partitions together (1GB + 7MB)?
[14:02] <PredaGR> arvind_khadri: backports?
[14:02] <ikonia> zacha: is it worth it for 7 meg
[14:02] <arvind_khadri> kbrosnan, ya i know
[14:02] <dooglus> zacha: use gparted
[14:02] <arvind_khadri> !backports > PredaGR
[14:02] <Pici> zacha: You'd need to delete one and expand the other using gparted, but only if they are adjacent, of course.
[14:03] <dGodFatheR> jrib: well?
[14:03] <dGodFatheR> jrib: yes i am in ubuntu
[14:03] <dGodFatheR> using the xvnc4viewer
[14:03] <drue_> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base Did not fix my sound problem,is there a way i can uninstall then install gstreamer?
[14:04] <JackTop> ok how do i boot into single user mode from the live cd ?
[14:04] <drue_> some one please help me
[14:04] <ricc101> can anyone please tell me which folder is the root folder to copy files into to run the ./installer file?
[14:04] <ikonia> JackTop: use the boot option "single" from your grub menu, you don't need the live cd for that
[14:05] <ikonia> ricc101: it doesn't matter
[14:05] <ikonia> ricc101: you can make a directory where ever you want
[14:05] <Captain_Redbeard> I have a cmake question... I'm getting: Unknown CMake command "macro_optional_find_package" What is this aand how can I work around it?
[14:05] <drue_> ok brb i have to restart
[14:05] <ricc101> I've tried and it keeps saying no such file or folder
[14:05] <ikonia> ricc101: you "make" the directory you want
[14:05] <ikonia> ricc101: then put the files in it
[14:06] <Captain_Redbeard> anyone?
[14:06] <ricc101> i;ve done that and it says it has to be run as root
[14:06] <ikonia> !pm > Gopan
[14:06] <Pici> ricc101: Where are you trying to make a folder?
[14:06] <ikonia> ricc101: use sudo
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> ricc101, then use sudo before it
[14:06] <trylleklovn> morning lads, due to a bug in the sound driver im using, i need to reload the driver upon reentry from suspend, i do that by adding "fuser -k /dev/snd/*; modprobe -r snd-cs46xx; modprobe snd-cs46xx" to /etc/acpi/resume.d/72-acpi-pain.sh but it doesn't seem to be executed, if i run the commands manually it works fine

[14:09] <drue_> all of my problems are resolved
[14:09] <Gopan> yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[14:09] <arvind_khadri> drue_, welcome :)
[14:09] <ikonia> Gopan: please don't do that
[14:10] <ricc101> I've cd'ed
[14:10] <JuJuBee> Sorry, my bad, ypbind is running, but nobody can log in still
[14:10] <JuJuBee> Was fine Friday.
[14:10] <ricc101> into the documents folder
[14:10] <veeti123> cheeky have you checked your bios, it's possible that computer boots from wrong media (harddisk)
[14:10] <ikonia> JuJuBee: have you built your maps, have you got the clients to bind to it
[14:10] <ricc101> what do i do now? thanks
[14:10] <ikonia> ricc101: follow the instructions with the installer
[14:10] <zacha> Sorry I didn't see the new replies. This is what it looks like: http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/5512/partitionmk3.png
[14:10] <ricc101> Thats what im trying to tell you i am
[14:10] <cheeky> can anyone tell me why my installation didnt work from my live cd?
[14:11] <ricc101> but its not working
[14:11] <ikonia> ricc101: what part is not working now
[14:11] <cheeky> it just goes to a black screen
[14:11] <ricc101> ./installer part
[14:11] <JuJuBee> ikonia : how can I tell if the bind was successful?  ypcat passwd works
[14:11] <ikonia> ricc101: show me "ls -la installer"
[14:11] <veeti123> cheeky if you don't know what bios are it doesn't matter
[14:11] <valentinex> hello file sharing problem
[14:11] <Captain_Redbeard> anyone here who has some experience with cmake?
[14:11] <ikonia> JuJuBee: is that on a client - or the server
[14:11] <cheeky> i  i do kinda
[14:11] <JuJuBee> client
[14:11] <cheeky> i set up my boot sequence
[14:11] <veeti123> cheeky ahaa
[14:11] <cheeky> and it still gives me the ubuntu slash screen
[14:12] <ikonia> JuJuBee: then it should be bound, if an external client can do a ypcat - you know it's hitting a master/slave server
[14:12] <cheeky> splash screen and then goes black
[14:12] <ricc101> -rwxr--r-- 1 ricc101 ricc101 33149 2008-04-09 04:24 installer
[14:12] <cheeky> mind you i have 2 HDD
[14:12] <veeti123> hmm
[14:12] <cheeky> one running wndows
[14:12] <cheeky> and the other hoping to try ubuntu
[14:12] <dr_willis> cheeky,  one is the framebuffer splash. other is X configuration/Video card drivers  are seperate thing.
[14:12] <veeti123> cheeky i google some, wait a second
[14:12] <RyanPrior> I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it?
[14:12] <ikonia> ricc101: so if you do "sudo ./installer" what happens ?
[14:12] <dr_willis> cheeky,  People will want to know your exact video card I imagine.
[14:12] <madk> nmap localhost tells, ipp port is open, nmap from the client machine doesnt see ipp port at all! what's wrong? client is even in /etc/hosts.allow and i think i configured /etc/cups/cupsd.conf right...   http://pastebin.ca/1197183 this is my cupsd.con  any suggestioins?
[14:13] <JuJuBee> ikonia : after entering username and password, seems to hang  Blank screen  Background pic only (background of login screen)
[14:13] <cheeky> its a nvidia 6600
[14:13] <ricc101> ahhhhh thanks ikonia its working now
[14:13] <ikonia> madk: hosts.allow is for connections, not port scans
[14:13] <cheeky> but see iam still running on the live cd right now
[14:13] <ikonia> JuJuBee: most common cause will be name resolution on that
[14:13] <cheeky> coz this is my second install and still cant get it up and running
[14:13] <ikonia> JuJuBee: if you get a black screen - it means it's taken the credentilas
[14:13] <ikonia> credentials even
[14:13] <madk> ikonia, so, i would see the ipp port if i scan from the client machine!
[14:13] <kooothor_> can someone help me out with this fan pb on mactel ? thx >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5749409#post5749409
[14:14] <ikonia> madk: depends if there is anything blocking that port (hosts allow doesn't block a port)
[14:14] <JuJuBee> ikonia : yp.conf lists server by IP not name
[14:14] <ikonia> JuJuBee: sorry, I mean from the server back to the client
[14:14] <ikonia> JuJuBee: reverse loolup
[14:14] <ikonia> lookup
[14:14] <ikonia> JuJuBee: have you got NFS home directories ?
[14:14] <JuJuBee> Yes
[14:14] <madk> ikonia, can you look at the cupsd.conf file i posted? ( http://pastebin.ca/1197183 ) what's wrong with it?
[14:14] <ikonia> JuJuBee: can you ping the client ?
[14:15] <ikonia> madk: what problem are you having
[14:15] <JuJuBee> yes
[14:15] <ikonia> JuJuBee: so is the nfs server running, resolvable, pingable, from the client ?
[14:15] <madk> ikonia, i cant install the printer (on windows client) from my linux (server). the printer is running with cups.
[14:16] <zacha> why is one partition nestled under /dev/sda2 while the other isn't? http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/5512/partitionmk3.png
[14:16] <ikonia> madk: what happens when you try to install it, and what type of printer is it
[14:16] <JuJuBee> ikonia : Yes
[14:16] <ricc101> right im now getting after runing the file
[14:16] <ricc101> checking for gcc... gcc
[14:16] <ricc101> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[14:16] <ikonia> ricc101: install the package "build-essential"
[14:17] <Pici> ricc101: you need to install the build-essential metapackage: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[14:17] <ikonia> JuJuBee: well, thats the most common issue - name resolution and nfs server
[14:17] <dr_willis> cheeky,  You could install the nvidia-glx-new package from the console of your installed system. that may kick it in the head. :)
[14:17] <ikonia> JuJuBee: your nis server appears to be working in that it has authorised your client
[14:17] <madk> ikonia, i cant find the printer. so i did the portscan which tells, ipp port isnt opened. on server, i can access cups with localhost:631
[14:17] <madk> ikonia, i did it with this how-to: http://www.linux-fuer-alle.de/doc_show.php?docid=132
[14:18] <the_darkside_986> What's the GUI way to change the host name in Ubuntu? I tried changing the host name file but that seems to cause problems and doesn't update everywhere.
[14:18] <dr_willis> !hostname
[14:18] <ikonia> madk: sounds like the cups server isn't listening on the interface you want
[14:18] <kia>   /quit
[14:18] <ikonia> madk: in future if possible try to use ubuntu docs/guides
[14:18] <kooothor_> can someone help me out with this fan pb on mactel ? thx >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5749409#post5749409
[14:18] <JuJuBee> ikonia : thanks, but client still hangs after uname/passwd  Students cannot login still.  Any other suggestions?
[14:18] <RyanPrior> I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it?
[14:19] <ikonia> JuJuBee: I'd strongly look at the NFS server, does the nfs server log mounting the home drive on that clients IP / MAc ?
[14:19] <exalted> Hi. What's the proper way of changing tty's resolutions?
[14:19] <srn> is there a log file of execution of /etc/acpi/resume.d ? and where?
[14:19] <brEz> Hi, how can I change the xchat icon in the panel when it's minimised?
[14:19] <madk> ikonia, hmmm.. k, in future. you have suggestions?
[14:20] <ikonia> madk: yes, if the application is not listening on the IP you want (localhost only) then something is blocking it, or it's not bound to the correct interface
[14:20] <ikonia> madk: what make of printer is it
[14:20] <joaopinto> brEz, I don't think you can change it, it's probably hardcoded
[14:20] <Tulimaq> RyanPrior:  what is your sudo fdisk -l output
[14:20] <ricc101> got the file to run this time but right at the end it says:

[14:25] <spiritssight> I am unable to connect using my dyndns account domain
[14:25] <arvind_k> adityag, use gparted
[14:25] <yates> my system often, usually just after dismissing a dialog box, unexpectedly switches to another workspace. this is very annoying - anyone know the reason?
[14:25] <ikonia> spiritssight: sorry - thats not an ubuntu problem
[14:25] <Pici> spiritssight: Join #dd-wrt
[14:25] <ikonia> spiritssight: this channel is for support questions towards ubuntu only
[14:26] <yates> 8.04lts
[14:26] <yates> on a laptop/touchpad
[14:26] <spiritssight> Pici: I know this is a ubuntu room, I ask because it seems there is no one in or responsing in the dd-wrt room
[14:26] <ikonia> spiritssight: that doesn't make it appropriate to as in here
[14:26] <arvind_k> ricc101, did you run sudo ./installer or not?
[14:27] <yates> has anyone else seen this unexpected workspace switch?
[14:27] <krunchyfrog> Howdy
[14:28] <krunchyfrog> Is there a package for installing a wiki somewhere in apt-get?
[14:28] <RyanPrior> I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it?
[14:28] <yates> what is the normal keystroke sequence for switching workspaces?
[14:28] <valentinex> Pici:  when i try to share a file i get error http://paste.ubuntu.com/44540/
[14:28] <RyanPrior> yates: ctrl+alt+(left|right|up|down)
[14:28] <spiritssight> well I guess I will ask the question I asked last night and still having problem is I can not access any wireless network with my system
[14:29] <spiritssight> can any one help with this issue
[14:29] <ikonia> spiritssight: your router is not setup
[14:29] <ricc101> i did arvind_K read further up
[14:29] <yates> RyanPrior: thanks
[14:29] <Pici> valentinex: run this: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf      and add or change "usershare owner only = False"  to the file.
[14:30] <ricc101> i get this now http://paste.ubuntu.com/44538/
[14:30] <spiritssight> ikonia: Yes it is my gf computer access the router
[14:30] <spiritssight> wireless
[14:30] <weboide> krunchyfrog: have you tried phpwiki ?
[14:30] <ikonia> spiritssight: then why are you looking for setup help with your router ?
[14:31] <dooglus> krunchyfrog: have you tried aswiki, didiwiki, docbookwiki, dokuwiki, hiki, ikiwiki, indywiki, jspwiki, kwiki, mediawiki, parsewiki, phpwiki, twiki, and wiliki?
[14:31] <krunchyfrog> heheheh
[14:31] <weboide> krunchyfrog: I found many ones on apt... just do apt-cache search 'wiki'
[14:31] <madk> ikonia, can't find anything whcih tells me to which interface cups is bound
[14:31] <spiritssight> setup of the router with regardes to being able to connect remotly (dyndns)
[14:31] <ikonia> madk: try telneting to the port
[14:31] <arvind_k> ricc101, read the installation notes properly for pre-requisites
[14:31] <ikonia> spiritssight: I see
[14:31] <vbabiy> Hey has any one been able to use banshee 1.2.1 with the IPOD 5th gen?
[14:32] <krunchyfrog> wow, it's the first time I see the apt-search command
[14:32] <cheeky> can anyone tell me why my installation of ubuntu doesnt load up even after i removed the disk when i t was restarting and change the boot sequence to HDD and then it loads ubunti splash screen and then just goes into a  blank screen ?
[14:32] <valentinex> Pici: it opened a text file now where to add usershare owner only = false?
[14:32] <madk> ikonia, nmap cant find the port...
[14:32] <ricc101> this is what i have been following http://paste.ubuntu.com/44541/
[14:32] <RyanPrior> vbabiy: As far as I know, 5th gen iPod doesn't have Linux support. Apple is doing all it can to make its products work only with iTunes.
[14:32] <weboide> krunchyfrog: you can do : apt-cache search 'whatyouwant'  and then do, apt-cache show packageyouwant to see info
[14:32] <ikonia> madk: I didn't say nmap it
[14:32] <madk> ikonia, telnet cant connect to that port
[14:33] <Pici> valentinex: Anywhere is fine. Maybe the bottom of the file.
[14:33] <krunchyfrog> cool
[14:33] <ikonia> madk: ok, so it's not listening on that port, so check your cups config/setup
[14:33] <vbabiy> RyanPrior: no this is the Ipod with video it works well with amarok
[14:34] <madk> ikonia, i did that. twice. i cant find the error.
[14:34] <valentinex> Pici: with commas? "usershare owner only = False"
[14:34] <spiritssight> any one help with my issue of wireless manger not see ANY wireless in the area and its not the router as my gf system is connected to it with out a problem
[14:34] <RyanPrior> vbabiy: Cool. I guess 5th gen must be supported now, then. If you're looking for people more familiar with Banshee, try joining irc.gnome.org/banshee
[14:34] <Pici> valentinex: You mean quotations? No, without them.
[14:34] <arvind_k> ricc101, you are missing some files... i dont know which ones
[14:34] <ikonia> madk: you won't find an error in the config file, you need to look for an interface and/or port setup, and if there isn't one there, check the default out and see if it's what you want
[14:35] <yates> spiritssight: are you using a laptop with a Broadcom wireless card?
[14:35] <madk> can someone check my cupsd.conf? http://pastebin.ca/1197201
[14:36] <ikonia> madk: whats this Listen 192.168.1.*:631
[14:36] <ikonia> madk: thats an interface and port
[14:36] <ikonia> madk: exactly as I've just told you
[14:36] <madk> ikonia, i added this just one minuite ago
[14:36] <madk> ikonia, and it didn't work with or without this entry
[14:36] <ikonia> madk: is that a valid parameter to use ?
[14:36] <spiritssight> yates: yes I am using laptop with broadcom wireless 4311 I think is the number and I did a lot of stuff yesterday with installing nsdwrapper etc and it made no differents for me
[14:36] <yates> spiritssight: and what's "gf"?
[14:36] <ikonia> madk: is LISTEN a cups parameter
[14:36] <madk> ikonia, <IP_ADDRESS>:631 didnt work either
[14:36] <spiritssight> girl friend
[14:37] <madk> the two entrys above were in the default configuration. so i assume yes
[14:37] <yates> did you install the firmware?
[14:37] <arvind_k> ricc101, btw what are you compiling?
[14:37] <yates> spiritssight: did you install the firmware?
[14:37] <spiritssight> I believe so
[14:37] <ikonia> madk: well the first line binds it to the localhost only
[14:37] <krunchyfrog> Now, can anyone help me reconfigure my tvpc? It's connected to my tv using the s-video out of my fx5200 but  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and rebooting didn't help
[14:37] <spiritssight> yates: I believe so

[14:39] <dooglus> ghamdan: I use the ext3 driver in windows to read my linux drive, but don't trust it to write
[14:39] <ikonia> adidust: well I suggest you use the resources your lecturer gave you
[14:39] <adidust> my lecturer gave me nothing
[14:39] <adidust> just ask me to install it
[14:40] <ikonia> adidust: I can't see nist net as an ubuntu packaged application
[14:40] <spiritssight> yates: yes I am using 804lts, and yes I do see the fw-cutter

[14:41] <ikonia> adidust: read the docs then, they seem quite solid and self explinatory
[14:41] <adidust> i tried
[14:41] <adidust> but failed
[14:41] <ghamdan> dooglus thanks mate
[14:41] <Pici> valentinex: You need to run this as well: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart
[14:41] <ikonia> adidust: then speak to your lecturer to get help
[14:41] <yates> spiritssight: i don't know how to pm!
[14:42] <adidust> i got installation guide but its for 6.06
[14:42] <ikonia> adidust: then speak to your lecturer to get help

[14:43] <adidust> ...
[14:43] <valentinex> Pici: still same problem and error message. do u know what that the folder i am trying to share is in FAT32 my window partition
[14:43] <ikonia> adidust: if your course requires linux knowledge - then you should have linux knowlege. No course would tell someone to install linux software - without any linux pre-requisits
[14:43] <adidust> i just wanna ask some thing
[14:44] <ikonia> adidust: you did - you asked how to install it
[14:44] <adidust> cos i am not computer course
[14:44] <adidust> i am engineer course
[14:44] <krunchyfrog> ok I installed phpwiki but can't access from http...  is there any special trick to do to make it work?
[14:44] <ikonia> adidust: then speak to your lecturer
[14:44] <Fritz87> Im making my own live ubuntu USB os, Fritzbuntu.  Because there just aren't enough ubuntu distros out there
[14:44] <adidust> i cannot run cd /usr/src/linux
[14:44] <adidust> it says
[14:44] <ikonia> adidust: because it doesn't exist
[14:44] <adidust> file not found
[14:44] <adidust> ..
[14:44] <ikonia> adidust: it doesn't exist
[14:45] <madk> ikonia, i needed to add @LOCAL to the browsable section. this did it. i had an ip address there. but this didnt work :/
[14:45] <ikonia> madk: nice job !
[14:45] <Pici> valentinex: After running the sudo invoke command I suggested as well?
[14:45] <adidust> i go www.ict.kth.se/courses/2G1305/nistnet-under-ubuntu-20061012.html
[14:45] <adidust> it teaches me to type bla bla then type cd /usr/src/linux
[14:45] <cheeky> do i have to format or anything before installing ubuntu on a HDD tht had NTFS files system on it ,... ? coz i already deleted the partisiotn using gparted
[14:46] <ikonia> adidust: contact the person who wrote that document/your school
[14:46] <valentinex> Pici:  yup it stopped samba then started again.
[14:46] <adidust> i am in engineering college
[14:46] <ikonia> adidust: contact them
[14:46] <adidust> nobody noes linux leh
[14:46] <Fritz87> go engineering!
[14:46] <R_YoYo_R> adidust, /usr/src/linux doesnt exist normally on ubuntu
[14:46] <R_YoYo_R> adidust, you could download the kernel source
[14:46] <krunchyfrog> cheeky: if its for ubuntu only the installer will give a few choices and you can choose the entire disk
[14:47] <ikonia> R_YoYo_R: there is more to it than that
[14:47] <cheeky> i chose the entire disk
[14:47] <ikonia> R_YoYo_R: hence why we can't support that doc
[14:47] <cheeky> option
[14:47] <adidust> faint
[14:47] <krunchyfrog> then it will wipe the ntfs
[14:47] <cheeky> but do i need to like setup grub to run it properly after its been installed ?
[14:47] <R_YoYo_R> ikonia, does that directory exist if you grab the kernel source?
[14:47] <ikonia> R_YoYo_R: there is more to it than that
[14:47] <Fritz87> Nobody uses linux? At my school of engineering, all engineering freshmen take intro to computing for engineers and they spend the first week doing linux before they do things like matlab and C++
[14:47] <jrib> valentinex, Pici: bug 211966 probably
[14:48] <Tengu> hello
[14:48] <adidust> the instruction first say : 1. sudo apt-get install emacs21  i tried but it says file not found
[14:48] <Tengu> has someone tested/used "timevault" on ubuntu ?
[14:48] <ikonia> adidust: as I've told you that document is not applicable to later versions of ubuntu
[14:48] <jrib> valentinex, Pici: bah wrong bug.  Anyway, user gets added to sambashare group but needs to login again
[14:48] <adidust> then my uni must be 3rd class uni
[14:48] <yates> is there no way to become root? you must sudo each and every command?
[14:48] <adidust> cos we learn C++ and matlab only
[14:48] <adidust> zzz
[14:48] <Tengu> yates: sudo passwd -> activate root account; or "sudo -i" and you become root.
[14:48] <hateball> yates: sudo -i
[14:48] <jrib> Pici, valentinex: bug 212098
[14:49] <soundray> Tengu: please don't recommend this without attaching a warning
[14:49] <jrib> yates: just use sudo -i  if you think you really need a shell with constant root privileges
[14:49] <Pici> jrib: ah, thanks /me makes note
[14:49] <Tengu> soundray: which warning?
[14:49] <valentinex> :-s
[14:49] <Pici> !noroot | Tengu something like...
[14:49] <Pici> Tengu: or see !sudo
[14:49] <soundray> Tengu: that enabling root logins runs counter to Ubuntu's security design
[14:50] <Mirko> ciao
[14:50] <adidust> ikonia : that means if i wanna use that guide i must download back ubuntu version 6.06?
[14:50] <Tengu> -.- ok..... not really used to ""ubuntu security"", as I use other linux system. sorry. would know for the next time.
[14:50] <yates> thanks all re: sudo
[14:50] <soundray> Tengu: :)
[14:50] <ikonia> adidust: contact your lecturer and explain the situation
[14:50] <jrib> Pici, valentinex: personally, I had that bug and logging in again fixed it.  But I've had to tell someusers to add themselves to sambashare again manually
[14:50] <yates> also, is there an apt tutorial?
[14:50] <Mirko> italiani?
[14:50] <Pici> !it | Mirko
[14:50] <yates> a good one...

[14:53] <adidust> ikonia : Ok. Then how do i install the emulator?
[14:53] <valentinex> jrib: $user? its my username? or just write the same?
[14:53] <ikonia> adidust: talk to your lecturer - or read the docs on that site
[14:54] <ikonia> adidust: you've been told what to do and how to deal with it 3 times now
[14:54] <jrib> valentinex: $USER (caps are important) will be replaced by your actualy username automatically, but you can just write your username too since that's the same thing
