[14:49] <bazhang> beeblebro: not a good one to do
[14:49] <ForzaPalermo> beeblebro, found it thanks
[14:50] <ForzaPalermo> cliebow, i believe i tried that and i couldnt get it to work the way i wanted to , just windwos to windows, not windows to linux
[14:50] <beeblebro> bazhang: worked ok for me. I had ssh in cygwin already setup though, from another guide.
[14:50] <brobostigon> beeblebro: have you read hitchikers guide to that galaxy,it that where you got your  nick, zaphod beeblebrox??
[14:50] <DEinspanjer> Could someone tell me how to install the 32bit version of this library on my gutsy 64bit? http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/libqt3-mt
[14:51] <bazhang> beeblebro: no the other one with the 'o' and the 'p' in it ;]
[14:51] <IndyGunFreak> DEinspanjer: are you sure there's a 64bit package of it?
[14:51] <xrestassuredx> how do i set it up so that certain applications always open up to certain desk spaces?
[14:51] <Xman> erUSUL: thanks for your kind information
[14:51] <Xman> erUSUL: rebooting..........
[14:51] <DEinspanjer> IndyGunFreak: At the bottom of the page it lists 64 and 32 versions.
[14:51] <IndyGunFreak> DEinspanjer: so download and install it.
[14:52] <DEinspanjer> I guess I could download the .deb and try to install that, I just didn't know if there was a way using apt-get
[14:52] <bazhang> xrestassuredx: to what end?
[14:52] <Linuturk> how do I downgrade a package?
[14:52] <ForzaPalermo> beeblebro, the site i looked at seems to be ssh for windows to windows
[14:52] <bazhang> Linuturk: which package?
[14:52] <ForzaPalermo> using a linux emulator of sorts
[14:52] <zubuntu> I need quick boot loader installation assistance.  I'm tying to install ubuntu to an external usb hard drive (currently SCSI3, sde [first partition]) and I want the boot loader stored on that drive requiring me to tell my bios to load from that drive. what do I put for "Device for boot loader installation:"  [default is (hd0)]
[14:52] <Linuturk> bazhang: cacti
[14:52] <bazhang> !info cacti
[14:52] <ubotu> cacti (source: cacti): Frontend to rrdtool for monitoring systems and services. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.6j-1.1ubuntu0.1 (gutsy), package size 936 kB, installed size 3612 kB
[14:52] <beeblebro> bazhang: ah.. sry :) just copied what other did, maybe it would create some fun bot results...
[14:53] <Linuturk> bazhang: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=704086&highlight=cacti
[14:53] <xrestassuredx> bazhang: for example, i have 3x1 workspaces, and i want say my browser on desk 1, email on desk 2, and any wine apps on desk 3
[14:53] <beeblebro> brobostigon: of course
[14:53] <DEinspanjer> IndyGunFreak: Actually, clicking the link basically says what I just said, that normally you should use a package manager.
[14:53] <IndyGunFreak> zubuntu: thats probably gonna be slower than christmas... tried it.
[14:53] <IndyGunFreak> DEinspanjer: well, if its not in the package manager, the you don't have a choice.
[14:53] <bazhang> xrestassuredx: not sure about that one--this is using compiz? I generally just switch them manually with a simple click
[14:54] <brobostigon> beeblebro: i took my nick from starship titanic, another douglas adams book.
[14:54] <andy> any one able to help with getting the mplayer mozilla plugin working?
[14:54] <DEinspanjer> IndyGunFreak: Well it is in the manager as libqt3-mt, but that gets me the 64bit. I don't know how to tell it to get me the 32bit.
[14:54] <beeblebro> ForzaPalermo: if you get vnc setup with sshd in windows, it's up and running. connecting from windows or linux should be the same.
[14:54] <zubuntu> IndyGunFreak: the drive gets 22mb/s and its the only non-dynamic partition I have.  It would also allow me to jump between machines
[14:54] <jakob__> #ubuntu-devel
[14:54] <need-help> hi all
[14:55] <beeblebro> I haven't connected to vnc over ssh from linux, so can't help you with that part.
[14:55] <IndyGunFreak> zubuntu: if you say so
[14:55] <beeblebro> brobostigon: my current machines running are: zark, zaphod, beeblebrox and marvin :D
[14:55] <IndyGunFreak> DEinspanjer: oh, you want the 32bit package, not the 64.. i misunderstood
[14:55] <ForzaPalermo> but dont i want the server running on linux?
[14:55] <need-help> after boot up has finished has finished my system

[15:00] <beeblebro> ForzaPalermo: can bitvise tunnelier help you?
[15:00] <xrestassuredx> bazhang: i do have compiz, i didn't see anything in there that would seem to help. the "window rules" in compiz config does lots of things but doesn't assign workspaces
[15:01] <Sphinx03> i can't access system configuration when i click on network in system>administration>network
[15:01] <ForzaPalermo> beeblebro, never heard of it
[15:02] <xrestassuredx> bazhang: the main reason is, i've been running wine in an emulated desktop that takes up the whole screen; i'd rather have that on its own workspace so i can just flip back and forth
[15:02] <beeblebro> ssh tunnelling client for windows. if you want to connect to vnc/rdc over ssh from windows.
[15:03] <bazhang> xrestassuredx: aha--though I believe that wine takes over x so that may not work--you could ask in #winehq though

[15:05] <bazhang> konqueror with gnome? nice ;]
[15:06] <dnanar> bazhang: no, konqueror with ratpoison is nice.
[15:06] <xrestassuredx> bazhang: okay, i'll ask .. it seemed more like a #ubuntu question since it could conceivably be any app i want in its own workspace, not just wine
[15:06] <bazhang> dnanar: good point ;]
[15:07] <bazhang> xrestassuredx: well that is a tough question--not sure it can be done at all

[15:13] <L3ttuc3> hey, i've got a rather annoying problem here :(... all my compiz effects have slowed down to about a tenth of the speed. I've changed no setting, why is that, and how do i get it back to normal?
[15:15] <dorkface> Anybody familiar with crontab?  I'm trying to get firefox to run at a specific time, but it doesn't seem to be working.  crontab file ----> http://pastebin.com/m7411cdc5
[15:15] <patogen> Is there some easy way to count the number of files in a dir from a terminal?
[15:15] <L3ttuc3> so, why would my compiz effects get slowed down? how can i reset them to their normal speed? and how do i make fade in and fade out faster, especially for menus?
[15:15] <B-rabbit> hey..guyz..i need to help my friend..he is using window...and i want to control his win desktop from my linux computer...is this possible?
[15:15] <B-rabbit> via remote desktop
[15:15] <L3ttuc3> patogen how about find | nl ? that's hardly elegant though.
[15:15] <B-rabbit> or sumthing like that
[15:15] <c0m4> probably no
[15:16] <licious> c++ help needed, what channel can I go to?
[15:16] <erUSUL> dorkface: i am not sure you can launch X programs from crontab
[15:16] <Pici> B-rabbit: Use the Terminal Services Client in gnome, it can connect to window remote desktop clients.
[15:16] <CVD-PR> 386,686 ?
[15:16] <patogen> L3ttuc3: Yes that did it.
[15:16] <Pici> licious: ##c++
[15:16] <dorkface> erUSUL: ah, thank you very much :)
[15:16] <valkyria> hello

[15:17] <patogen> prince_jammys: thank you :)
[15:18] <larsemil> how do i change the window manager that is started when starting x?
[15:18] <Pici> dorkface: You may need to prefix it with your display env variable
[15:18] <erUSUL> patogen: whats wrong with 'ls | wc -l'
[15:19] <bazhang> larsemil: choose in session at log in window
[15:19] <dorkface> Pici: ty :)
[15:19] <Pici> puplin: or ls -1 | wc -l
[15:19] <c0m4> sa tu  polacy?
[15:19] <prince_jammys> piping from ls not the best approach, at least according to #bash
[15:19] <larsemil> bazhang: how do i change wich one is default, i use xubuntu and autologin? i want to use compiz instead of xfce
[15:19] <prince_jammys> using glob more reliable
[15:19] <erUSUL> prince_jammys: becouse...
[15:19] <prince_jammys> ask at #bash :)
[15:20] <Pici> patogen: sorry, ls -1 | wc -l
[15:20] <bazhang> !pl
[15:20] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[15:20] <erUSUL> Pici: -1 ?? -l ??
[15:20] <prince_jammys> go to #bash and type !ls
[15:20] <leon_pegg> anyone here know if the hardy alpha 5 has been delayed again?
[15:20] <xrestassuredx> bazhang: i think my problem is still graphics drivers. how can i check that i'm using the right drivers for my [stock intel] gfx card?
[15:20] <Pici> erUSUL: ls -l gives extra lines of information that we dont need.  ls -1 puts one file per line
[15:21] <larsemil> xrestassuredx: glxinfo | grep vendor
[15:21] <Pici> leon_pegg: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[15:21] <bazhang> xrestassuredx: which card? is it in restricted drivers manager?
[15:21] <B-rabbit> Pici, do i have to install anything on my winbox to do this?
[15:21] <leon_pegg> thanks Pici
[15:21] <Pici> B-rabbit: You may need to enable the windows remote desktop config.
[15:22] <xrestassuredx> bazhang: server glx vendor string: SGI
[15:22] <xrestassuredx> client glx vendor string: SGI
[15:22] <xrestassuredx> OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[15:22] <erUSUL> prince_jammys: i agree with the factoid (it is better to use find -prin0 or somethiong like that becouse of spaces on names and such) but for counting files you do not loop aver file list...

[15:24] <chun79> I love  postgresql
[15:25] <prince_jammys> erUSUL: it's a good habit -- people get in the habit of piping the output of ls, just like many like to pipe the output of "cat"
[15:25] <kasra> bazhang: any idea ? ):
[15:26] <b|ue_> Anyone knows a good backup and restore package for MySQL in Ubuntu?

[15:35] <erUSUL> asdrubal: is a known bug
[15:35] <asdrubal> erUSUL, will it be fixed in 8.04 you think?
[15:36] <gortint> I've got error when I open disk drive in livecd mode "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999"
[15:36] <erUSUL> asdrubal: you can check on launchpad; for me is a cosmetic thing not very important so i didn't subscribe to the bug ;P
[15:36] <gortint> what kind of error is it? what can I do?
[15:37] <lori> im trying to compile the aurora engine. and it tells me that i do not have at least gtk-2.1 but i have gtk-2.12. also, i installed a gtk theme switcher once, and it also told me i didnt have the current version of gtk... does ubuntu have some weird version of gtk that is not recognized?
[15:38] <magnetron> lori: for complilg, you need the -dev version of the gtk libs
[15:38] <lori> magnetron, just add that one package?
[15:38] <magnetron> lori: this applies to all libs
[15:38] <lori> oh i see
[15:38] <magnetron> lori: yes, just install the packages

[15:42] <dewdude> I'm having some issues. I've got this PCChips motherboard with a Via C3 CPU on it (cheap replacement for old computer), and I'm trying to put Ubuntu on it, the Live CD boots up fine, but soon as it starts loading, it gets to vmlinuz and the system just reboots....not to mention it doesn't seem to be booting the operating system that's already on the hard drive.
[15:42] <dewdude> bad CD or bad motherboard?
[15:42] <xrestassuredx> um
[15:43] <DEinspanjer> Is there a trick to adding certain icons to panels?  I'm trying to add the "Disk Mounter" icon and it just doesn't do anything when I click Add or drag it onto the panel.  I can add other ones fine..
[15:43] <gortint> roddersg, to open my disk drive in nautilus form livecd
[15:43] <roddersg> CVD-PR, use a terminal window, then ln -s <target> ~/Desktop/name-u-want
[15:43] <xrestassuredx> i don't have a display any more, i picked my graphics card drivers from the 'screen & display' menu and rebooted, and it comes back to the console login with no gui
[15:43] <roddersg> gortint, you might have to mount the drive first, don't think it mounts automatically
[15:43] <Elda> quick question... how do I start the partition program in here? :s

[15:44] <prince_jammys> erUSUL: just tested that file counting question ...  ls | wc -l counts a file "my file" (space in the file name) as two files
[15:44] <Tetracomm> Hi.
[15:44] <xrestassuredx> how do i assign graphics drivers from a command line
[15:44] <gortint> ok, thanx a lot i'll try it now
[15:44] <roddersg> prince_jammys, you should use ls -l for line-by-line
[15:45] <LjL> prince_jammys: doesn't here
[15:45] <peace> hello... im not happy about manual... i need to install hamachi.They say - run " make install" what the f..that must mean! at least it would be written "make install hamachi" or smth..
[15:45] <brobostigon> xrestassuredx: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:45] <LjL> roddersg: uhm no, when invoked not on stdout, ls automatically reverts to that behavior normally
[15:45] <CVD-PR> difference bettween hard and simbolic links?
[15:45] <DEinspanjer> prince_jammys: the cleanest way would be ls -1 | wc -l
[15:45] <Sliss_> CVD-PR: man ln
[15:46] <Tetracomm> I have an integrated sound card which I no longer use. I just installed an Aureal Vortex sound card and disabled the integrated sound interface in the BIOS. Whenever I hibernate or suspend Ubuntu, the sound doesn't work when I resume it. Help?
[15:46] <prince_jammys> sorry, i did with ls, not ls -l
[15:46] <DEinspanjer> prince_jammys: The -1 means "one file per line in just one column"
[15:46] <LjL> CVD-PR: a hard link is simply another name for a file, and when you create on, there is no concept of the "original filename" versus the "link". they're just two equivalent names for the same piece of data. a symlink is a file that points to another file.
[15:46] <roddersg> LjL you're right, however if your filename has spaces in it, your're screwed ls -l is better
[15:46] <roddersg> or ls -C1
[15:46] <prince_jammys> damn i mean ls -l returns wrong output, ls works
[15:46] <chios> Anyone had problems with kino like writing to video filter?
[15:47] <peace> how to install hamachi.. im very upset
[15:47] <Elda> well bbl, have to reinstall winblows vista on my other partition since XP doesnt have any of the working drivers I need ;_;
[15:47] <Nokio> Hello, I have a desktop with 2 ati video crad that has each 2 vga port. So I have 4 screen connected to my desktop. Is there a way that i can have 4 different screen? So far with xrandr i have been able to get the 2 left screen to be like a big one and the 3 right screen to be like a big one! I would like to have 4 different screen... Thanks in advance
[15:47] <CVD-PR> roddersg, why link dont work form nautilus  but it work in the erminal?
[15:47] <roddersg> prince_jammys, you're right ls -l returns 1 more
[15:47] <Elda> Have gone to lengths though ot keep my ubuntu partition good though :D
[15:47] <LjL> roddersg, i don't see the difference in case of spaces in the filename...
[15:47] <Elda> so bbl :s
[15:48] <DEinspanjer> peace: "make install" is a real command.  It is usually used when you have downloaded a source package.  "make" is a program that runs a Makefile script. "make install" tells make to run the commands listed under the install action.
[15:48] <hayko> hi everybody
[15:48] <roddersg> CVD-PR,  not too sure about nautilus, but I do my links using the terminal mode
[15:48] <amenado> a regular user do not need to be added to "admin" group to have a limited sudo access for command like shutdown ? or all sudo'ers need to be added to admin group for allowing any system commands?
[15:49] <roddersg> LjL ls -l gives one more count because first line shows total of files (ls is better, spaces don't matter)
[15:49] <twosouls82> why doesn't my umask setting in "/etc/apache2/envvars" get applied? ("umask <mask>")
[15:49] <LjL> roddersg: yup, that's true
[15:49] <Tetracomm> Hi. I have an integrated sound card which I no longer use. I just installed an Aureal Vortex sound card and disabled the integrated sound interface in the BIOS. Whenever I hibernate or suspend Ubuntu, the sound doesn't work when I resume it.  ; ls -l | wc -l; echo "and finally..."; ls | wc -l
[15:50] <LjL> amenado, with the default setup, you need to be in "admin" for using sudo. always.
[15:50] <roddersg> DEinspanjer, that's what I thought
[15:50] <NiSoOo> אפשר לכתוב כאן בעברית?
[15:51] <LjL> DEinspanjer: yes, but i think that behavior is triggered automatically on Ubuntu when you actually pipe
[15:51] <LjL> !il | NiSoOo

[15:51] <amenado> LjL i added a user, with shutdown priviledge only, but I have not added the user to admin group, so it would not work?
[15:51] <LjL> amenado: how did you give them shutdown privilege?
[15:51] <amenado> LjL via visudo
[15:51] <peace> any help?
[15:52] <NiSoOo> LjL are you from Israel?
[15:52] <DEinspanjer> peace: did you see my comment about "make install"?
[15:52] <LjL> NiSoOo: no, i merely recognize written hebrew :)
[15:52] <amenado> LjL like   usernam  ALL=(root)/sbin/shutdown -r now
[15:52] <NiSoOo> lol, thanks for the advice though :)
[15:52] <peace> ye i saw.. how the pc knows i need to install hamachi.. " make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop."
[15:52] <LjL> amenado: that should work without the user being in admin
[15:52] <roddersg> hey, anyone knows how to set the volume label of a disk?
[15:53] <DEinspanjer> peace: What directory are you in when you run that?
[15:53] <nickrud> roddersg: for ext2/3 ,   sudo e2lable
[15:53] <nickrud> roddersg: erm e2label that is
[15:53] <peace> no directory.. i go to terminal..it opens in new window..
[15:54] <roddersg> thanks
[15:54] <amenado> LjL but it is getting an error, user usernam is not allowed to execute /sbin/shutdown -r now as root
[15:54] <DEinspanjer> peace: Then you are in your home directory.  You need to go to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the files.
[15:54] <peace> this is ridiculious..a person who knows how to change directory, for sure will know how to install the program without manual..
[15:55] <Chiro> nomen
[15:55] <Chiro> nomen
[15:55] <roddersg> nickrud, how about vfat/fat disks
[15:56] <LjL> amenado: i'm not particularly familiar with the sudoers syntax, but i guess there's something wrong there. but if you do it properly, the user won't need to be in admin.
[15:56] <peace> installed it.. at last..
[15:56] <peace> much efforts needed :|
[15:56] <LjL> roddersg: mlabel
[15:56] <nickrud> roddersg: for ntfs , install ntfsprogs and use ntfslabels
[15:56] <amenado> LjL i thought i knew sudo also, lil  thing like this caught me offguard..
[15:57] <nickrud> roddersg: I"m in typo city today , ntfslabel
[15:57] <neverblue> morning
[15:57] <DEinspanjer> peace: But don't you feel proud that you persevered and learned something in the process?
[15:57] <DEinspanjer> Is there a trick to adding certain icons to panels?  I'm trying to add the "Disk Mounter" icon and it just doesn't do anything when I click Add or drag it onto the panel.  I can add other ones fine..
[15:57] <peace> no.. it was not because of manual..
[15:57] <CVD-PR> hey changing ownership of `/media/files': Operation not permitted

[16:14] <sudobash> I have been have trouble with my accelerated Nvidia driver for FX5200 (169.09) on Ubuntu 7.10 ( 2.6.22-14-386) and I just discovered something interesting... My nvidia drivers are being corrupted by /etc/init.d/gdm... Every time a run gdm after fresh install of nvidia driver plus fresh xorg.conf (nvidia-xconfig), It will crash X until I reinstall driver and it then tells me the drivers have been corrupted. The strange thing is if I
[16:14] <sudobash> install driver and new Xorg config and then just run startx the NVIDIA driver work fine... So i guess I need to reinstall gdm or get kde or xfce?

[16:22] <crhylove> i switched to nv from nvidia.
[16:22] <splendidjim> what does that mean?
[16:22] <crhylove> wish me luck on the compiz enable...

[16:25] <mrcheeks> Hi guys, I can't login from a terminal or gdm in ubuntu. This happened after a apt-get dist-upgrade 2 days ago
[16:25] <mrcheeks> I guess it's a bash issue
[16:25] <sudobash> you tried nvidia-xconfig
[16:25] <mrcheeks> But how could i fix it please?
[16:25] <splendidjim> void^ no it doesn't all I get back is a new bash and no errors
[16:25] <crhylove> tried that, yeah.
[16:26] <sudobash> ader10 areyou trying to run multiple audio apps at the same time
[16:26] <sudobash> ?
[16:26] <erUSUL> RickJones: it seems that its the ansys license manager... do you use ansys on your linux box??
[16:26] <void^> splendidjim: that's fine, then. you need to strace the command that actually produces a bus error.
[16:26] <crhylove> how do i run that util that allows me to select my horizontal refresh and etc.
[16:26] <crhylove> ?
[16:26] <RickJones> erUSUL, i don't even know what that is
[16:26] <RickJones> erUSUL, google says it's a xp thing, yet i run 7.10. any ideas?
[16:26] <sudobash> umm that is an nvidia script i think but it does it for you if you have a standard montior (nvidia-xconfig)
[16:26] <splendidjim> void^  do you actually know how to find out which command I need to strace?
[16:26] <amenado> mrcheeks-> you can boot from a liveCD and do recovery of your password from there
[16:26] <ader10> sudobash: thank you for replying... I don't think so. I'm just trying to run vlc and gaim
[16:27] <sudobash> try reinstalling alsa
[16:27] <erUSUL> RickJones: ansys is a FEM (finite element method) package iirc

[16:27] <void^> splendidjim: how about strace sudo apt-get update, for a start?
[16:27] <ader10> sudobash: alright

[16:29] <nirc> vnc can remote to windows pc's?

[16:29] <sudobash> yes
[16:29] <sinbox> Tetracomm try reenabling the onboard chip in the BIOs see if it helps after a reboot
[16:29] <elisboa> Are you guys having some slowdowns on Gutsy too?
[16:29] <RickJones> erUSUL, is it possible that port/program is running on another machine on my lan ?
[16:29] <sudobash> try Back|Track it has VNC and RDP
[16:29] <elisboa> My notebook keeps at 100% CPU all the time
[16:29] <sudobash> on the live cd

[16:30] <elisboa> no, gnome
[16:30] <NativeAngels> mysql.so where would i fined this file
[16:31] <erUSUL> RickJones: how did tyou run the port scan? if you scanned all the LAN and not only your host it is possible
[16:31] <NativeAngels> or mysqli.so
[16:31] <MrKnights> cd mysql
[16:31] <sudobash> crhylove you need to check to see if you accelerated drivers are working
[16:31] <MrKnights> ignore that.

[16:32] <sudobash> try this crhylove uninstall all nvidia drivers and then run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and then run the nvidia-xconfig
[16:32] <erUSUL> RickJones: well i'm not sure what the command did is check if you have a daemon running with the ansys wrod on it
[16:32] <sudobash> you might have to change the nv to nvidia'
[16:32] <crhylove> I think the restricted drivers are working.
[16:32] <bazhang> elisboa: open up a terminal and type top to see what is eating up your cycles
[16:33] <sinbox> Tetracomm, sorry, ont sure what to suggest, quite new to all this
[16:33] <crhylove> it says they are in restricted drivers manager.
[16:33] <void^> splendidjim: 'sudo -i' is an extra command.
[16:33] <crhylove> enabled checked, and in use checked.
[16:33] <crhylove> i am a sad panda.
[16:33] <RickJones> erUSUL, so since i show no open process, yet an open port , it's possible it's a different machine.....
[16:33] <elisboa> bazhang: I've stopped ethstatus, and the other tops are changing from firefox to gnome-video-thumbnail and so on
[16:34] <sudobash> run this crhylove: glxinfo |grep direct
[16:34] <crhylove> also, the gnome title bars rearranged themeselves.
[16:34] <crhylove> ok.
[16:34] <sudobash> and tell me what it says
[16:34] <elisboa> pulseaudio is top too, and Xorg
[16:34] <crhylove> direct rendering: Yes
[16:34] <elisboa> It's not a static status
[16:34] <sudobash> so your driver is working
[16:34] <sudobash> anything else?

[16:38] <crhylove> compiz WAS working.

[16:39] <nirc> 1600 pc's would sorta be a big victory for ubuntu
[16:39] <crhylove> why would it begin to fail only after the server kernel/virtualbox debacle?
[16:39] <sudobash> did you do any updates?
[16:39] <crhylove> yeah, all of them.
[16:39] <sudobash> lol
[16:39] <shawn_> im hoping the updates will fix my dual monitors
[16:39] <credible> crhylove: please join #compiz-fusion
[16:39] <cidco> Question, I am using Emerald however the only way theme settings work for it is when i run "sudo emerald-theme-manger" and then "sudo emerald --replace"
[16:39] <crhylove> ok.
[16:39] <cidco> Any idea why that may be?
[16:40] <sudobash> yeah me too and it completely corrupted my gdm so now it corrupts nvidia driver and Xorg
[16:40] <sudobash> lol
[16:40] <credible> cidco: don't run emerald as root
[16:40] <shawn_> i saved 30gb for a windows partition after installing ubuntu, what should be next step?
[16:40] <shawn_> what will be the proper way to install winblows?
[16:40] <cidco> credible,  when i run it as my normal user, i cant get the list of themes
[16:40] <sudobash> heres a thought... back up your data on HDD or DVD and then install 7.04 or 7.10 and dont do updates
[16:40] <reikalusikka> why does epiphany and firefox use about 100% of my CPU??
[16:40] <RickJones> cidco, you need to select the desktop manager from the ccsm program
[16:40] <credible> cidco: there are no themes for emerald in gutsy, you have to get them yourself
[16:41] <sudobash> then your drivers will work
[16:41] <RickJones> cidco, then you will have the desktop manager set as emerald
[16:41] <bthornton> Are there any ways to make NFSv4 more "low bandwidth friendly"? I've currently got some NFSv4 mounts going over a VPN which is going over a 768 Kbps DSL line and it is painfully slow (much slower than sftp, for example)
[16:41] <sudobash> and maybe they will fix it in a month or so
[16:41] <bthornton> and "Don't use NFS" replies would be more helpful if they had a suggestion of what TO use : )
[16:42] <sudobash> or maybe if you reinstall and do updates immediatly and then install drivers and everything and it will work
[16:42] <W8TAH> bthornton, i just arrived -- what are you trying to accomplish????
[16:42] <cidco> RickJones, where is the setting in ccsm ?
[16:42] <RickJones> cidco, is says select window manager
[16:43] <bthornton> W8TAH: I've got an NFSv4 mount through a VPN which is running over 768 Kbps DSL lines. All file transfers over the NFS mount are significantly slower than, say, sftp.
[16:43] <sudobash> but apparently if you install 7.04 or 7.10 and have video drivers installed and then update or upgrade and can screw things up
[16:43] <RickJones> cidco, do you have the package for the compiz icon ?
[16:43] <erUSUL> RickJones: are you behind a router??
[16:43] <sudobash> it*
[16:43] <W8TAH> bthornton, are you looking for MOUNTS or just file transfers?
[16:43] <credible> RickJones: that's not going to fix his issue :)
[16:43] <RickJones> erUSUL, yes
[16:43] <cidco> RickJones, Compiz Icon?
[16:43] <RickJones> credible, it will if his emerald isn't selected in the window manager
[16:44] <bthornton> W8TAH: Must be something that lets me mount filesystems and respects file ownership.
[16:44] <void^> splendidjim: what does 'ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/lock' say? 'ls -dl /var/cache/apt'? 'mount'? 'dmesg'?
[16:44] <erUSUL> RickJones: maybe is the router the one reporting that open port?? or a server in the DMZ ??
[16:44] <W8TAH> bthornton, ouch -- not my area of expertise -- all my remote mounts come via smb cuz my domain is active directlry
[16:44] <splendidjim> void^ -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2008-02-22 17:33 /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[16:44] <credible> RickJones: his problem is that his themes are installed in /root/.emerald/
[16:45] <sudobash> the only reason to have DMZ enabled is if you are hacking into a router or you are using bittorrent..
[16:45] <yuanjin> How can I enter the channel of ubuntu-cn?
[16:45] <bthornton> W8TAH: Well, I do have Samba set up on the remote machine (i.e. the one serving the NFS mounts). How are you mounting things on the client ends?
[16:45] <prince_jammys> yuanjin: /join #ubuntu-cn

[16:46] <RickJones> credible, would that not work?
[16:46] <bthornton> W8TAH: gotcha. That's basically the role Samba plays on my setup as well.
[16:47] <W8TAH> sorry i cant help more
[16:47] <RickJones> credible, and would he still not need the ccsm package and the icon for managing the compiz ?

[16:49] <sudobash> what did it say Xman?
[16:49] <void^> splendidjim: that's very much not good.. better boot a livecd and fix your root filesystem
[16:49] <Xman> sudobash: it just shows done
[16:49] <RickJones> credible, would he not need root access to move a root folder?
[16:50] <erUSUL> RickJones: good luck
[16:50] <splendidjim> void^ what happened?
[16:50] <credible> RickJones: sudo

[16:53] <Electrogrind_Hol> people help plz,  I have Genius SlimStar USB keyboard, and it works on Windows perfectly. and in Ubuntu it works fine, except 2 USB ports in keyboard but this dont worry me .

[16:53] <neverblue> matthew_, not going to be able to help you then, good luck
[16:54] <Xman> sudobash: yes
[16:54] <roddersg> TelnetManta, maybe you don't have an active dhcp server working
[16:54] <void^> splendidjim: you could try 'rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*' first, perhaps the problem is limited to those few files
[16:54] <matthew_> anyone?
[16:54] <shawn_> neverblue :how do i use dual monitors in ubuntu? im using the ati-mach8-mach32,mach64 driver
[16:54] <TelnetManta> roddersg: I do... I have 5000 other machines on my network.
[16:54] <Xman> sudobash: when i pressed reload in synaptic it was showing 6 of 6 files update
[16:55] <bentob0x> quick question, I have installed the drivers for my webcam and it should work but the problem is that I already have my tv card on /dev/video0 and the beforelast line of the webcam driver install is "sudo mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0".  I have tried to run that line with "sudo mknod /dev/video1 c 81 0" but the webcam doesn't stay once I reboot (and it doesn't work 'before' I reboot)
[16:55] <neverblue> shawn_, please direct your questions to the channel, not a specific user
[16:55] <roddersg> TelnetManta, did you use dhclient to grab the address, try dhclient -1 <interface name>
[16:55] <[chr0n0s]> hi, i cannot access the terminals, i mean when i press Ctrl+Alt+1/2/3 i can see cursor blinking, but that's it.
[16:55] <splendidjim> void^ I think I should backup some files, right?
[16:55] <Xman> sudobash: but updates are not that few
[16:55] <shawn_> neverblue: you were helping me earlier, thats why im asking you.
[16:55] <void^> splendidjim: and 'rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin' too
[16:55] <sudobash> what version of ubuntu Xman?
[16:55] <void^> splendidjim: those files are automatically generated by apt-get update
[16:55] <Xman> sudobash: 7.10

[17:01] <killerbeez> bazhang , beryllium : I went to the link for dualhead, and it just tells me what the program is, no info on installing.
[17:01] <Grezer> ejer, but you can use one or the other right ??

[17:04] <neverblue> ahorriblemess, now what caused Pidgin to crash, have you relaunched it, and is it working now?
[17:04] <ejer> ahorriblemess: this will protect you from internet usually, since it uses NAT

[17:04] <sudobash> like this nmap -v -v -sT <IP_ADDRESS> if you are running it on your own pc
[17:04] <nclx> php5.2.5 should have said

[17:05] <sudobash> ahorriblemess i just told you how to scan your PC for open ports did you listen?

[17:05] <neverblue> ahorriblemess, you dont know what? during the removal, did you remove all the files in ~ ? if it crashes, try running it from a terminal, this gives output of any errors
[17:05] <obsolete> thnx

[17:06] <leeping2008> I'm talking about the default settings for memtest86+.  If I start it up and I leave it for 24 hours, will it still be running after 24 hours?

[17:06] <Hamtaro> I try to install wxHaskell
[17:06] <obsolete> its supposed to work with Cywin
[17:07] <ejer> paste the error and command that made it Hamtaro
[17:07] <obsolete> anyone heard cywin?
[17:07] <ahorriblemess> sudobash: ok now that I ran nmap, what am I looking at here, or what am I looking out for?
[17:07] <sudobash> ahorriblemess if you want to scan your pc for open ports (loopback assumed): sudo apt-get install nmap ..... nmap -v -v -sT <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:07] <ejer> nmap is not going to tell him much from the localhost...
[17:07] <nickrud> obsolete: yes, but this isn't the cygwin support channel
[17:08] <sudobash> sure it will and if it doesnt tell him enough learn nmap and use it from another pc or laptop
[17:08] <ejer> well it says nothing about security
[17:08] <obsolete> is there a cygwin support channel? ;-)
[17:08] <sudobash> actually your right you have to use your lan or wan ip
[17:08] <ahorriblemess> sudobash: ok i ddi that, I've got some open ports
[17:08] <ejer> unless someone is trying to hack into his system through the network while at localhost ;)

[17:10] <Kutagh> the first error contains something with "Kinit: No resume image"

[17:10] <Boglizk> Does anyone know of an extension that can check if my Firefox extensions are available in Firefox 3?
[17:10] <ahorriblemess> sdsheeks: hahaha
[17:10] <artti> Can't find aswer from google.
[17:10] <nclx> you can also get a list of open ports by doing: netstat -tuln
[17:10] <ahorriblemess> sdsheeks: what about you?
[17:10] <Kutagh> the 2nd error which comes a bit later is  "Error: request region 4300-43FF invalid" or something
[17:10] <reikalusikka>  why epiphany and firefox use up to 100% of my CPU...
[17:10] <sdsheeks> ahorriblemess: i slept for 8 hours :)
[17:10] <Kutagh> you guys know anything about t?
[17:11] <nclx> ejer: I added backports and did apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -s | grep php; and it still shows no updates, oh well
[17:11] <ahorriblemess> sdsheeks: I slept for a while it's noon right now, I woke up around 10

I dropped out of the installer into a shell (this is one of the options provided by the installer's menu). "

[17:13] <Kutagh> I thought using sudo rm something is deleting a file

[17:14] <tomvolek_> hi, does anybody know how to setup a raid for Ubuntu ? any recent docs on this ?
[17:14] <Huffalump> Oh, I found it by accident.
[17:14] <Huffalump> You have to hit some random keys
[17:14] <Huffalump> and suddenly a list of options appears
[17:14] <Kutagh> Chr0n0s, go to Applications, Accessories and click Terminal
[17:14] <Crembo> ejer: I select my printer make and model, select the proper print queue - nothing. I have two printers, neither of which work
[17:14] <Huffalump> I'm not sure which key did it.
[17:14] <ahorriblemess> sinbox: what is that software/
[17:14] <Huffalump> Maybe F12.
[17:14] <ejer> Crembo: does it go into print queue
[17:14] <Xman2007> sudobash: i am not able to update man
[17:14] <ahorriblemess> sinbox: I'd rather just do it through the terminal or something
[17:14] <Crembo> ejer: I'm not even sure how to check
[17:14] <sudobash> try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:15] <Hamtaro> ejer : But I had error so I download last cabal package (#haskell say me mine was too old) and I install it by sudo make install

[17:16] <Crembo> ejer: it shows me a list of my printers and lets me change configuration options, but doesn't show me the quee
[17:16] <gothy> good day everyone... I have my onboard sound working now thanks to the guide mentioned before, yet my front plugs to plug my headset in don't work.
[17:16] <Crembo> ejer: it always lists my main printer as 'stopped', but no button to start it
[17:16] <xrestassuredx> how can i change the default application for certain filetypes? the "preferred applications" panel gives very few options
[17:16] <Xman2007> sudobash: 0 upgrade 0 newly installed 0 remove 0 not upgraded
[17:16] <Lartza_> what linux distros are installable form usb to hd?
[17:17] <sudobash> you are probably up to date then... there is a beta Ubuntu out now
[17:17] <wiffel> hello - I have a question to do with  my sound card - can anyone here help or should I go somewhere else?
[17:17] <Huffalump> During install, if I make into a shell, how can I ftp?  netkit-ftp says command not found
[17:17] <sinbox> ahorriblemess,  if you don't have an ftp server I don't think it'll be reachable, then again, I am no authority on security, rather far from it in fact :)  (more the careless idiot type)
[17:18] <nicholas_> Hi. Does anyone know how to shut down and restart the sound system?
[17:18] <Xman2007> sudobash: but my mp3 is not working
[17:18] <Lartza_> what linux distros are installable form usb to hd?
[17:18] <ejer> Crembo: personally I would remove all printers, with your printer unplugged, make sure it is clean, then replug printer, let it be set as default and see if that works
[17:18] <Xman2007> sudobash: even i have not installed any of the packages
[17:18] <Z_o-s-o> gothy : double click your volume icon and go to the switches tab
[17:18] <Crembo> ejer: I'll try that, but how do I see the print queue, regardless?
[17:18] <nios> ist there any shockwave player for ubuntu?
[17:18] <sudobash> lartza DSL, TinyLinux, Back|Track

[17:19] <Kuni> has anyone tried the new "install in windows" option in Hardy?
[17:19] <sudobash> oh
[17:19] <nojoints> hello, got a problem when trying to start counter-strike, I use Wine, when I'm going to play everything just freezes, I googled and found that I should reset my oss driver in winecfg but it doesn't help/work, anybody who can help/guide me?
[17:19] <Pici> nios: No. Adobe does not make shockwave for Linux.
[17:19] <Pici> Kuni: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[17:19] <Harald> hi
[17:19] <ahorriblemess> sinbox: haha, well I've been trying to get my files from my XP machine, networking isn't working (despite a late night trying to get Samba working, then I tried using proftpd to use that. I'm actually just googling the port numbers and getting lots of results
[17:19] <nios> Pici: oki so no solutuion to get it?
[17:19] <sinbox> Xman2007 you have to install LAME I think for mp3s
[17:19] <sudobash> go to synaptic and enable all the repos
[17:19] <AuraithX> I've ran those two programs to check for rootkits - nothing found, anything else I can use to check the security of my system or if its infected with something?
[17:19] <ejer> Crembo: If you want to inspect a printer's queue when not printing something then it's a little bit cumbersome. From the panel's "System" menu choose "Administration->Printers", then right-click on your printer and choose "Jobs".
[17:19] <Z_o-s-o> gothy : did you get it?
[17:20] <ahorriblemess> sinbox: it's actually pretty cool, it's good to know what these ports do
[17:20] <Pici> nios: You may be able to install it in Wine, but I've never done that.
[17:20] <Harald> i've got a small problem with a shell script. i want to log to a file using >$d  in $d is a filename. but when i run my script i always get ambiguous redirect
[17:20] <sudobash> settings-repositories
[17:20] <sudobash> and enable all on the first tab
[17:20] <sinbox> I did manage to network XP and ubuntu ahorriblemess , maybe take another look at the config again, and make sure you allow the local network in XPs firewall or whichever you have on that machine
[17:20] <Crembo> ejer: here's the thing, right-clicking on the printers yields nothing

[17:20] <wiffel> each time I listen to sound in one app - say rhythmbox - and then go to another - say youtube in firefox - I have to completely close down the original app to get any sound - is this normal for ubuntu - it's a big pain
[17:21] <ahorriblemess> Actually, if anyone would like to learn more about their ports (if you don't already), I found this wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
[17:21] <sudobash> got that Xman?

[17:22] <sudobash> use opera if you have problem with firefox CPU usage
[17:22] <xrestassuredx> can anyone tell me how to set default applications for filetypes other than the few in the "preferred applications" panel?

[17:23] <Xman2007> sudobash: i think its working man. :)
[17:23] <Hamtaro> Ok
[17:24] <Xman2007> sudobash: yes its downloading updates now. :)
[17:24] <Xman2007> sudobash: thanks man, thanks a lot. :)

[17:24] <pushpop> How would I get a directory listing of all files with a last modification date of Jun 1 ?  anyone
[17:25] <ahorriblemess> this is so bogus
[17:25] <aoupi> pushpop: the find command is great for stuff like that

[17:26] <inviso> Morning folks.  I have a new gutsy system that I'm getting configured and having problems with the sun java plugin.  apt-get install sun-java6-plugin tells me it's not available.  I have both universe and multiverse repos enabled. Any thoughts?
[17:26] <benanz1> I am trying to install GNUpod on a remote server but I only have write permission to my home directory.  Thankfully all the dependencies are satisfied.  I do './configure=/home/me/LocalGnupod' but when I run 'make install' it fails because it tries to make /etc/perl/GNUpod
[17:27] <ejer> Huffalump: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_ftp.htm is a barebones way
[17:27] <sam__> how can i resize my linux partition to give me more space on a dual boot windows/ubuntu machine? gparted doesnt give me the option to resize
[17:27] <aoupi> benanz1: hrm? that's an add looking configure line
[17:27] <aoupi> benanz1: odd*
[17:27] <benanz1> Can I change that to be in something like ~/Local/etc/perl?  or do I need to install my own version of perl
[17:27] <benanz1> sorry
[17:27] <benanz1> ./configure --prefix=/home/me/Local
[17:27] <benanz1> that's better
[17:27] <benanz1> forgot a bit there
[17:28] <Huffalump> ejer, it says ftp command not found.  i also tried pftp and netkit-ftp
[17:28] <aoupi> benanz1: see ./configure --help, if there is an option you will probably find it there
[17:28] <ejer> Huffalump: if it is ubuntu livecd, you could install it, but I thought it should be tehre
[17:28] <nicholas_> I have an integrated sound card which I no longer use. I just installed an Aureal Vortex sound card and disabled the integrated sound interface in the BIOS. Whenever I hibernate or suspend, the sound doesn't work when I resume it. The sound works again once I restart.  Vortex is the new card I installed, and AC'97 is the integrated one. Help?
[17:29] <Huffalump> ejer, it's not a livecd.  it's xubuntu alt
[17:29] <sfears> i'm trying to move multiple folders at once at a command line.. what do i use to separate them and still have the tab completion work?
[17:29] <ejer> Huffalump: thats why, it is not on there
[17:29] <ejer> nicholas_: vortex card may use ac97 as well
[17:29] <cliebow> inviso: it shows on my system ok
[17:29] <Huffalump> ejer, do I have any options?
[17:29] <ahorriblemess> does anyone know what tdbsam backend is?
[17:30] <nicholas_> ejer: Ok, how can I fix this problem?
[17:30] <ejer> Huffalump: not easily... not sure what you could do unless you can reboot or use a physical medium
[17:30] <inviso> cliebow: Actually, I just stumbled across a bug report. It's apparently not available for 64 bit. Thanks for the help
[17:30] <cliebow> ahhh
[17:31] <Huffalump> ejer, thanks for the response.  I had been following some instructions which said to use netkit-ftp but thats where I stumbled.
[17:31] <ejer> nicholas_: this is a very old card, right
[17:32] <nicholas_> ejer: From 1999.
[17:32] <ejer> nicholas_: you may be better off with internal sound card
[17:33] <nicholas_> ejer: No, the Vortex is nicer. the integrated one hisses very loudly.
[17:33] <nicholas_> ejer: It was expensive, too.
[17:34] <ejer> well there is not much I can find about it, so you are going to be pretty much on your own I think nicholas_
[17:34] <ejer> nicholas_: you can check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[17:34] <benanz1> When I run './configure --prefix=/home/me/LocalGnupod'  I get this warning: "config.status: WARNING:  Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting"
[17:35] <benanz1> is that a problem with why it still tries to install stuff in /etc?
[17:35] <nicholas_> Thank you, ejer.

[17:52] <pm> I'll ask again: Anyone have any idea why my graphics are so slow on my T23 with Ubuntu 7.1?  I looked around and thought it had something to do with enabling Direct Rendering, and ran some kind of automatic program that was supposed to enable DR, but not only did it not do so, but it slowed my graphics down even further!  Now I can't run Google Earth or Celestia at all.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

[17:54] <bazhang> ejer haha I know
[17:54] <pm> I'm not extremely familiar with Linux, so please, can you be more verbose?  What do you me3an by "automatix"?  Thank you.

[17:55] <ejer> bazhang: it just screws people up then we gotta try and undo it, not good
[17:55] <gorbierd> and one more: how do I mount cdrom with iocharset cp1251? I just try to mount /cdrom iocharset=cp1251 but i says something about non block device
[17:55] <gorbierd> *it says*
[17:56] <Monkee_Of_Evil> pm: automatix is a third party app for installing stuff in a few clicks on Ubuntu. Great idea, but it wasn't written very well so it has the potential to severely damage your computer if something goes wrong.

[17:58] <benanz1> I'm having trouble installing GNUpod to my home dir.  I don't have root on this machine and using --prefix=/home/me/Local doesn't work because it still tries to put stuff in /etc/perl
[17:58] <unagi> whenever i try to sudo rm -r -f /path/to/ folder i get 'cannot rm: file exists:' what is this
[17:59] <ejer> gothy: undo it...
[17:59] <gothy> ejer: no wait, i had a type ^^
[17:59] <bazhang> heh
[17:59] <benanz1> It tries to install some special perl modules to /etc/perl  -- how can I tell it to put them in /home/me/Local/etc/perl?
[17:59] <tdawgedogg> gothy: basically i'm a noob in terminal and i need to type make install once im in a directy to install or compile it or whatever but i cant find the name of the directory
[17:59] <benanz1> using the --sysconfdir option in configure doesn't work either

[18:00] <thechitowncubs> what should I check for?

[18:01] <Slaj_R> Slaj_R
[18:01] <MuffY> hey, I'm trying to boot a liveCD (7.10), but the graphic output to the monitor is wrong (monitor says it's 85 Hz while its max is 60 Hz)
[18:01] <benanz1> dang -- is there a way I can specify the modules import paths?  for instance at the top of each gnupod script I see that it does: use GNUpod::FooBar;
[18:01] <benanz1> can I hard code that some how?
[18:01] <Slaj_R> question -- I've tried setting up sharing via SMB with OS X 10.4, and the Mac doesn't see my shared folder.
[18:02] <MuffY> + I can't use the keyboard in the liveCD boot menu, so I can't change the resolution
[18:02] <mad_max02> MuffY, turn off num lock when ur computer boots
[18:02] <MuffY> (i circumvented that problem by holding <shift> to skip the graphical menu and manually give the boot parameters)
[18:02] <MasterShrek> Slaj_R, in your smb.conf is security set to share?
[18:02] <musicjock58> reconfigx
[18:03] <mad_max02> not at the moment it boots but right before cd boots up
[18:03] <mad_max02> then you can edit boot menu
[18:03] <mad_max02> I had the same problem
[18:03] <MasterShrek> Slaj_R, before that even, try to connect directly to the samba share instead of trying to navigate to it, if u know what i mean
[18:03] <tdawgedogg> gothy: you see how it says change directory to freewins-0.3-0.6?  How did it know that that was the name of the directory...cause im the code i typed before that was tar -xf '/tmp/freewins.tar.gz ect ect
[18:03] <MuffY> mad_max02: will try now, brb
[18:03] <mad_max02> gl
[18:03] <tdawgedogg> gothy: where did it get the 0.3-0.6 in the name of the directory
[18:04] <tomvolek_> hi, I like to install 64bit version of Ubuntu on an Intel system, what distribution should i download ?
[18:04] <Elda> Quick q.... what is ubotu page for restoring my grub menu?
[18:04] <Pici> !grub | Elda
[18:04] <ubotu> Elda: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[18:04] <Slaj_R> I think so.  That's through "smb://ubuntu/<shared>" right?
[18:04] <Elda> Thanks :)
[18:05] <tdawgedogg> gothy: how do i know what the name of the directories are that i need to navigate to to make and then make install
[18:05] <tdawgedogg> gothy: like for the example why isnt hte directory named 3d?
[18:05] <MasterShrek> Slaj_R, i believe so, never used a mac b4
[18:05] <danand_> Slaj_R - you can connect to a samba share from a gnu/linux box using the command smbmount //server_name/share mountpoint. smbmount is part of the sambautils package
[18:06] <musicjock58> cd /filename
[18:06] <musicjock58> .make /filename
[18:06] <musicjock58> .make install /filename
[18:06] <pushpop> what command would I use to move all files in 1 directory to another?
[18:06] <Slaj_R> OS X tells me "Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in <path> could not be read or written"
[18:06] <MasterShrek> pushpop, mv * /path/to/dest/dir/
[18:06] <tdawgedogg> musicjock58: you talking to me?
[18:07] <ilPiratone87per> ciao a tutti
[18:07] <MuffY> mad_max02: well, pressing num lock does remove the 'auto boot in 30s' thing, so it registers a key press.
[18:07] <mad_max02> not that
[18:07] <MuffY> mad_max02: but I still can't navigate the menu
[18:07] <mad_max02> before the CD boots up u gotta turn num lock OFF
[18:07] <ilPiratone87per> !comandi
[18:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about comandi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:07] <pushpop> MasterShrek: what would be the command if I want to alias clean to move all files to a folder called trash in my home directory?
[18:07] <Slaj_R> However, in smb.conf, I see 'security = user' .  Should I change that?
[18:07] <mad_max02> not when the cd boots
[18:07] <mad_max02> u understand ?
[18:08] <ilPiratone87per> qualcuno che parla italiano?
[18:08] <erUSUL> !it
[18:08] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[18:08] <mad_max02> theres a ram countdown when pc starts, then the hardware table
[18:08] <prince_jammys> pushpop: you have to be working in the original directory for that command to work
[18:08] <musicjock58> this is confusing and moving fast . if you can use it, use it. dont know names i just read the quest. lol
[18:08] <pushpop> MasterMalias clean mv * /home/user/trash ?
[18:08] <mad_max02> then ur cd starts booting
[18:08] <MuffY> mad_max02: define 'before the CD boots'. Do you mean before the menu appears or before selecting 'boot from CD'
[18:08] <mad_max02> thats the time when u turn OFF num lock
[18:08] <pushpop> prince yes
[18:08] <mad_max02> yes before menu appears
[18:08] <pushpop> but what would be the proper syntax?
[18:08] <bazhang> who was it that said 'this channel is dead'? haha
[18:08] <roddersg> anyone can recommend a good network monitor for feisty?
[18:08] <mad_max02> when it says "booting CD"
[18:08] <gothy> tdawgedogg:  you have named the directories yourself, thus you should be able to find them.
[18:09] <MuffY> I did that
[18:09] <mad_max02> so you get into menu with num turned off
[18:09] <MasterShrek> pushpop, not sure, havent really used alias much, i usually just write shell scripts and put them in /usr/bin
[18:09] <mad_max02> I had much problems before I figured out this
[18:09] <pushpop> ok
[18:09] <danand_> Slaj_R - no. not unless you have specific other requirements. security = user means that any user must have an account on that machine in order to log on to it
[18:09] <mad_max02> couldnt even load live cd
[18:09] <MuffY> I did that, and the only thing that happens is that the 30s coundown is gone
[18:09] <tdawgedogg> ok so im in a diretory in terminal...is there way to list all the subdirectories of the folder im in?
[18:09] <gothy> yes
[18:10] <gothy> tdawgedogg: ls
[18:10] <mad_max02> u dont do it right
[18:10] <gothy> ejer: <3 for you, it works (my front audio jacks)
[18:10] <prince_jammys> pushpop: example::  alias haha="ls -l"   then type haha    to undo: unalias haha
[18:11] <pushpop> thanks
[18:11] <tdawgedogg> gothy: i type "ls" and it does nothing sorry im a nub
[18:11] <danand_> pushpop - aliases can be defined in the file .bash_aliases. that will make any aliases you set in that file valid for every session.
[18:11] <Ajmal> hi any body tell how to install mplayer i am using ubuntu 7.10
[18:12] <MuffY> mad_max02: I tried pushing before selecting 'boot from CD', tried after selecting that (but before menu appears) and tried it in the menu
[18:12] <cocox_> hi there im trying to record my voice with the Ubuntu sound recorder utility but nothing is being record.... im using a microphone attached to my headphones, last week i was able to use my microphone without problems with Skype. I know that probably my microphone is on mute or something that i have to change in ALSA, but i dont know exactly what to change. Any clue??
[18:12] <gothy> tdawgedogg: what do you mean? you typed ls <enter> and nothing happened?
[18:12] <pushpop> prince_jammys = alias clean "mv * /users/students/mpare047/trash/"
[18:12] <pushpop> marC>clean
[18:12] <pushpop> mv: cannot rename trash to /users/students/mpare047/trash/trash: Invalid argument
[18:12] <pushpop> what am i doing wrong
[18:12] <patogen> Ajmal: You could use synaptic or just apt-get? I'm pretty sure they exist there.
[18:12] <tdawgedogg> gothy: correct
[18:12] <Chousuke> pushpop: nothing
[18:12] <bluefoxx> ok, so i have a scsi dive in my system[its an old 4.2 gig seagate medalist ST34520W 68 pin] and scsiadd detectes it, it was in the system on bootup, but it doesnt show up as a mount option, how can i fix this[w/o rebooting repeatedly, otherwise i lose access to my sata drive]
[18:13] <Ajmal> any body tell me how to install mplayer  iam using apt-get install but it says there is no package
[18:13] <Chousuke> pushpop: that command is doing exactly what it says
[18:13] <ilPiratone87per> #join #ubuntu-it
[18:13] <MuffY> mad_max02: the only thing that changes something is the may you describe, just after selecting 'boot from CD', but that only removes the 30s countdown
[18:13] <ilPiratone87per> #j #ubuntu-it
[18:13] <pushpop> Chousuke: its trying to rename the folder though no?
[18:13] <cocox_> Ajmal, use apt-cache search mplayer  ........
[18:13] <Chousuke> pushpop: but "trash" is in the directory you're cleaning, so it tries to move trash into itself
[18:13] <gothy> tdawgedogg: then the folder is probably empty. Type "ls -a"
[18:13] <cocox_> Ajmal, after that check for the right name and write it with install
[18:13] <tdawgedogg> gothy...i dont think these plug ins are in the packages using download manager.....are are they?
[18:13] <Chousuke> pushpop: it's harmless, though.
[18:13] <ilPiratone87per> qual'è il comando per entrare in un'altro canale?
[18:13] <erUSUL> ilPiratone87per: j #ubuntu-it
[18:14] <gothy> ilPiratone87per: type /join channelname
[18:14] <erUSUL> ilPiratone87per: /j #ubuntu-it
[18:14] <pushpop> Chousuke: but I just want it to move files not directories?
[18:14] <cocox_> ilPiratone87per, /join
[18:14] <kostkon> Ajmal, go to "System -> Administration -> Software Sources" and check that you have all the repositories enabled
[18:14] <Chousuke> pushpop: that'll move *everything*
[18:14] <ilPiratone87per> j #ubuntu-it
[18:14] <gothy> ok ok guys i think he knows how now :p
[18:14] <Chousuke> pushpop: directories are files
[18:15] <Chousuke> pushpop: if you want to move only non-directory files, you need a more complicated command
[18:15] <pushpop> Chousuke thanks
[18:15] <prince_jammys> pushpop: don't know the solution, maybe use find -type d in conjuction with exec
[18:15] <kostkon> Ajmal, then go to Synaptic, search for "mplayer", find the package and install it
[18:15] <tdawgedogg> gothy: i closed termianl and tried it again and it worked
[18:15] <tdawgedogg> thanks
[18:15] <MuffY> what is the boot command (when booting in text mode), to say the display has to be 1280*1024@60 Hz?
[18:15] <tdawgedogg> so now all I do is change to those directories and type make then return the make install right
[18:16] <gothy> tdawgedogg: have you compiled things before?
[18:16] <MuffY> I tried vga=795 but that didn't work (I suppose that only sets resolution + bit depth and not update frequency)
[18:16] <tdawgedogg> gothy: like i said im an super noob just moved to linux yesterday
[18:16] <tdawgedogg> still learning command line
[18:16] <tdawgedogg> i enjoy copy paste commands though :)
[18:17] <gothy> tdawgedogg: i know you're eager to get those extra plugins working, but i suggest you learn a thing or 2 first before you get into compiling plugins and installing them... if it goes wrong you're risking breaking gnome and that'll be hard to fix
[18:17] <danand_> pushpop - set an alias like so - alias clean="cp $* -t /home/user/.trash"
[18:18] <bazhang> tdawgedogg: back up first ;]
