[12:05] <flink12> http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=318 need to get that progran working whit ubuntu
[12:05] <ohletmeinnowgodd> hey guys, have message that keeps propping up everytime i use gedit, could someone take alook at it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/84306/ Gedit works fine..I just wanna know if this is something to be worried about
[12:05] <Radtoo> flink12: then again, how would you usually watch this on a windows-based computer?
[12:06] <Radtoo> flink12: do you know?
[12:06] <banteng> hi, anyone using a4tech mirror webcam here?
[12:06] <Hisham> I want to voice chat using Gtalk, But pidgin doesn't supports Voice. What to Do?
[12:06] <flink12> im streaming from my computer to my tv
[12:06] <banteng> I tried it on 8.10 and the picture is dark
[12:06] <djmonitor> Hi, can anyone help me, i am using Ubuntu Feisty and it seems that one of the repositories got missing. Now i cannot update or install software.
[12:07] <aperson> anyone know of a way to disable a plugin in pidgin without opening pidgin first?
[12:07] <Radtoo> flink12: ... so you never tried it with windows?
[12:07] <ZeroA4> flink12, if it uses a proprietay protocolo to talk to a pc... maybe there is no linux alternative
[12:07] <Radtoo> flink12: I'll just assume its meant to use media player then.
[12:07] <mchelen> aperson, try poking around ~/.pidgin
[12:07] <flink12> yeah i have xp on it now
[12:07] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, how did you get that working?
[12:08] <aperson> mchelen: no such dir
[12:08] <DASPRiD> according to some posts i found, twinview only supports a single graphics card?
[12:08] <mchelen> aperson, okay try asking in #pidgin
[12:08] <aperson> mchelen: you must mean ~/.purple
[12:09] <mchelen> aperson, quite possibly :)
[12:09] <ohletmeinnowgodd> how do i figure out the appropriate "options" parameters for mounting an ntfs partition?
[12:09] <flink12> and 1 more question when im updateing my ubuntu my wifi stops working ???? some wird shit
[12:09] <Hisham> I want to voice chat using Gtalk, But pidgin doesn't supports Voice. What to Do?
[12:10] <Radtoo> flink12: In that case, vlc or mythtv may work
[12:10] <comradekingu> Hisham: Use mumble
[12:10] <aperson> Hisham: that is windows only atm afaik
[12:10] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, "UUID=486C137A6C1361CC /windows     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0" for example
[12:10] <flink12> my wlan connection
[12:10] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, your UUID will be different
[12:10] <flink12> no internet when i have updating the ubuntu
[12:10] <riby> Hisham: try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=819046
[12:11] <mchelen> Hisham, there is a gtalk option for gmail, they are planning linux support not sure if its available yet
[12:11] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: yes. that is correct. You run Twinview on one pair of monitors and a separate X session on the 3rd monitor. You can run Xinerama across all 3, but not with compositing, and the performance is poor. There isn't a Twinview across all 3 monitors yet. (Quadra cards have this feature though)
[12:11] <Radtoo> flink12: that was on how to play your media streams, btw... but you won't know until you try or you figure out what exactly the media center thing streams
[12:11] <aperson> mchelen: thanks for prompting me to to look in my config files :P ~/.purple/prefs.xml is what I needed to look in
[12:12] <heap1> can someone experienced with linux spread some light on my freezing system problems using 8.04.1 hardy on a m1530 dell xps?
[12:12] <heap1> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1006394
[12:12] <mchelen> aperson, cheers, glad it worked, one nice thing is usually programs keep config files there if you know how to read them ;)
[12:12] <flink12> its streams video like mpeg
[12:12] <ohletmeinnowgodd> allsystemsarego: i was actually specifically wondering about the "defaults,...,gid=46" options, how do i know what ones to enable for a ntfs drive?
[12:13] <ZeroA4> flink12, but over witch protocol ?
[12:14] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, let Ubuntu mount it automatically, then run the mount command to pits brain
[12:14] <filsuf> manlymat_83, this ubuntu 8.10 is really screwed up
[12:14] <ohletmeinnowgodd> to pits brain?
[12:14] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, *pick its brain
[12:14] <filsuf> when is the next upgrade coming?
[12:15] <ohletmeinnowgodd> allsystemsarego: i dont get you
[12:15] <Radtoo> ZeroA4: Lets just go with mythtv or maybe vlc will probably work... Its likely one of these microsoft media player oriented things :P
[12:15] <bazhang> Filsuf April 2009
[12:15] <Radtoo> ZeroA4: I dont think we'll ever get the other info. :)
[12:15] <bazhang> filsuf, further discussion in  #ubuntu+1
[12:15] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, what is the result of the mount command now?
[12:16] <ZeroA4> Radtoo, yeah... the site does not say a word about protocols
[12:16] <gimpscape> hi
[12:16] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, so currently there's no way to get it running like on windows systems?
[12:16] <gimpscape> is this a good image for machine running intel pentium dual core processor? http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[12:17] <gimpscape> it has "amd64" it its name which worries me a bit
[12:17] <ikonia> gimpscape: depends if your processor is 64bit and if you want 64bit
[12:17] <ohletmeinnowgodd> allsystemsarego: i havent mounted anything manually..should i?
[12:17] <gimpscape> ikonia: it is 64bit, but it's defenitely not AMD
[12:17] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, do you want 64 bits ?
[12:17] <Aberration> Hi All! I need some help to put DMIX instead of pulse as audio server...because of latency issue...
[12:17] <banteng> gimpscape: use 32 bit version
[12:17] <ikonia> gimpscape that doesn't matter, amd64 = 64bit
[12:17] <Aberration> any held would be appreciated
[12:17] <ikonia> banteng: don't talk nonsense
[12:18] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, that name is becose AMD inveted 64bits x86 and intel only copied it
[12:18] <ikonia> gimpscape: that image will rok on an x86 64bit processor
[12:18] <gimpscape> ZeroA4: why would I choose 32 bit version? the only problem I know of is flash plugin which doesn't support 64bits
[12:18] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, so linux name for x86-64 is amd64
[12:18] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, 32bits uses less memory
[12:18] <joaopinto> gimpscape, actually there is already an 64 bits flash plugin :)
[12:19] <gimpscape> ZeroA4: I have quite a lot of ram, processor speed is the most imprtant for me
[12:19] <ohletmeinnowgodd> allsystemsarego: im trying to set it so that ubuntu automatically mounts my ntfs partition during boot up and so im trying to understand the fstab invocation options before i edit it, and the only thing that Im unsure off in the fstab editing is the <options> parameter, and what i would need to set it for my ntfs to be set up properly
[12:19] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, 32bit uses cpu full speed
[12:19] <gimpscape> joakim`: yeah, it's beta...
[12:19] <joaopinto> ZeroA4, but not it's full registers :)
[12:19] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, 64 bit gains are negligible
[12:19] <gimpscape> ZeroA4: ok, it looks like I need to have some read about 32 vs 64 bits
[12:20] <ZeroA4> joaopinto, uses full register... half of them twice
[12:20] <mgolisch> ohletmeinnowgodd: options would need to include auto for automaticaly mounting it and probably uid,gid parameters to so its owned by your user after mount
[12:21] <ohletmeinnowgodd> mgolisch: so the options are not filesystem specific...ie some options only available for jfs etc?
[12:21] <cloud> I am beginner with Ubuntu
[12:21] <mgolisch> ohletmeinnowgodd: they are
[12:21] <cloud> And I installed Ubuntu on one of my notebook.
[12:21] <mgolisch> ohletmeinnowgodd: you can read man mount for the availiable options per filesystem
[12:21] <cloud> But display is black.
[12:22] <kate__> hi
[12:22] <prodigel> hi all. I've changed my squid proxy password on the server and now I can't use apt-get (authentication required). where do I need to store a http_proxy var? I've tried /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc with no effect
[12:22] <cloud> The original resolution is 1280 x 800
[12:22] <cloud> I need help
[12:23] <frequency> hi how can i  install unstable repos in ubuntu? help me please
[12:23] <prodigel> cloud, try ctrl+alt+f1. see if it displays something
[12:23] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, it is a bit off topic but... an x86-64 has 64bits registers... but when running 32 bits os the os see the 64 bits register as 2 32bits register so no cpu speed or register is lost... amd made 64bits cpus run 32bits software so good the gains to run 64 bits software are very small
[12:24] <cloud>  I am beginner with Ubuntu. and I installed Ubuntu on one of my notebook. But display is black. original resolution is 1280 * 800, And I tried with extenional LCD.
[12:24] <ZeroA4> gimpscape, this is diferent from the trasition from x86-16 to x86-32... an x86-32 runing 16bit software only use the same numeber of register at half capacity... intel thing
[12:24] <cloud> And tried to see something,
[12:25] <kamizu> hello
[12:25] <cloud> Thank you, Produgel, I will try your suggestion.
[12:25] <kamizu> can someone please help me install ubuntu on my raid drives?
[12:26]  * gimpscape looks some 32 vs 64 benchmarks
[12:26] <kamizu> please....
[12:26]  * m1dn1ght looks at pictures of kittens
[12:26] <cloud> But is there any other problem? I saw bug #81 ..
[12:26] <kamizu> i booted from the 8.10 ubuntu LIVE CD and opened a terminal
[12:26] <kamizu> i followed the steps in here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[12:27] <nibbler_> kamizu: either you have a good hw raid, so ubuntu does not really know you have raid
[12:27] <kamizu> but when i type dmraid -ay it says no DISKS found
[12:27] <nibbler_> kamizu: what does fdisk -l say?
[12:27] <kamizu> no it's a fake raid
[12:27] <banteng> anyone here have problem with dvd burning?

[12:30] <heapy> is anyone having random system crashes using ubuntu and a dell computer?
[12:30] <kamizu> and then it says Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB
[12:30] <Hellow> Hey guys, could one of you unban bateman88, it is a different person than from when he was originally banned
[12:30] <kamizu> nibbler_ are you there?
[12:30] <ohletmeinnowgodd> do i have to use UUID or can i just refer to its /dev/sdxx ?
[12:31] <ohletmeinnowgodd> in fstab
[12:31] <ikonia> ohletmeinnowgodd: uuid is better, but either would work
[12:31] <nibbler_> kamizu: yes, but you need to mention my name in your lines directed to me :) so you have more than 1 hd, but only 1 is detected?
[12:31] <kamizu> can someone please help me install ubuntu on my raid hard drives??????
[12:31] <ikonia> kamizu if your using fake raid I strongly suggest you don't
[12:31] <nibbler_> kamizu: sounds like this is already the virtual raid device. but i agree with ikonia
[12:31] <kamizu> ikonia why not?
[12:31] <ikonia> kamizu: it's a bad technology in linux and will cause more problems that the fantasty performance you think it gives you
[12:32] <cloud>  any one has some experience with BIOS BUG #81[49435000] ?
[12:32] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, "cd /dev/disk/by-uuid; ls -l" is what you need
[12:32] <cloud> My display is black after installation of Ubuntu.
[12:32] <ohletmeinnowgodd> is by-uuid a bash command?
[12:32] <kamizu> ikonia: it does give me faster performance...
[12:32] <banteng> anyone has the same problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvd+rw-tools/+bug/200337
[12:32] <ikonia> kamizu no it doesn't - thats in your head
[12:33] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, it is a subdirectory of /dev/disk
[12:34] <kamizu> nibbler_ so what do i do?
[12:34] <nibbler_> try writing to sda1 and see if all hdd lights flicker
[12:34] <ikonia> kamizu: don't use fake raid
[12:34] <nibbler_> get some serious 3ware controller
[12:34] <paul68> hi is there a good support for nokia E91 in ubuntu if so which programs do I need to download to syncronise my agenda?
[12:34] <ikonia> nibbler_: sound advice
[12:35] <Frozenball> ikonia, why not?
[12:35] <ikonia> paul68: gnokii
[12:35] <nibbler_> paulthink wamu, but not sure
[12:35] <ikonia> Frozenball: it's a weak technology
[12:35] <ohletmeinnowgodd> allsystemsarego: right, and then ls-l lists it with privileges
[12:35] <cloud>  I am beginner with Ubuntu. and I installed Ubuntu on one of my notebook. But display is black. original resolution is 1280 * 800, And I tried with extenional LCD.
[12:35] <Frozenball> why it would be "weak"
[12:35] <nibbler_> cloud: try changing to a text-console (ctrl-alt-f1) and see /var/log/xorg.log
[12:35] <paul68> ikonia:  thanks and does it syncronise with evolution or do I need another agenda ?
[12:35] <cloud>  I am beginner with Ubuntu. and I installed Ubuntu on one of my notebook. But display is black. original resolution is 1280 * 800, And I tried with extenional LCD. I could see the ext LCD flashing...
[12:35] <ikonia> Frozenball reverse engineered windows drivers, poor support, at software and hardware level
[12:35] <allsystemsarego> ohletmeinnowgodd, that is the "translation table" if you will
[12:35] <nibbler_> cloud: or was it x.log?
[12:35] <cloud>  any one has some experience with BIOS BUG #81[49435000] ?
[12:36] <ikonia> paul68: it can do, I use an E71 with no issue
[12:36] <paul68> ikonia: thanks
[12:36] <ikonia> !away > DASPRiD
[12:36] <cloud> nibbler.. I will try
[12:36] <kamizu> ikonia: howcome windows xp boots quicker when i have raid0 ???
[12:37] <kamizu> that shows that even fake raid can improve performance
[12:37] <ohletmeinnowgodd> allsystemsarego: thats weird, my filesystem is displayed as "fuseblk" i dont see that anywhere here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[12:37] <echinos> kamizu: possible to read from both drives at the same time, maybe?
[12:37] <ikonia> kamizu a.) probably in your head b. native techology to windows, which is reverse engineered on linux
[12:37] <tonisius> How can I unblock a connection to SSHD?  IP tables is empty, nothing there, and auth.log is showing refused connections:  Dec 12 04:32:24 server5 sshd[28596]: refused connect from ::ffff:<ip> (::ffff:<ip>)
[12:37] <tonisius> no deny entries in:  /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[12:37] <tonisius> any suggestions?
[12:38] <echinos> tonisius: does netstat show that sshd is listening?
[12:38] <ZeroA4> kamizu, soft-raid on linux is faster than fake-raid... and fake-raid depends on drivers
[12:38] <ikonia> tonisius: on the client do an ssh -vv $server
[12:38] <tonisius> echinos: I'm on it right now.
[12:38] <tonisius> but having to connect from another server
[12:38] <tonisius> ikonia: ok...
[12:38] <echinos> odd
[12:38] <kamizu> ZeroA4: what's the difference between soft raid and fake raid?
[12:38] <tonisius> ikonia: actually, can't it's windows running putty
[12:38] <tonisius> I'm currently connected to another server, which connects to the server having issues
[12:38] <echinos> kamizu: not much, logically
[12:38] <ikonia> tonisius also check what authenciation methods are supported, if you don't use one thats enabled it will refuse connection
[12:39] <nibbler_> kamizu: softraid is linux native, fakeraid is with some not real support by hardware, not too much difference
[12:39] <tonisius> I want to connect directly to "the server"
[12:39] <echinos> kamizu: fakeraid is a name for soft raid on linux
[12:39] <ZeroA4> kamizu, fake-raid uses drivers... soft-raid only uses the raid tools already on the SO
[12:39] <ikonia> OS
[12:39] <ZeroA4> kamizu, SO = OS
[12:39] <echinos> SOS!
[12:39] <Watza> 'hi
[12:39] <Watza> Can someone help me in english ?
[12:39] <ZeroA4> ikonia, sorry i think im portuguese sometimes
[12:39] <kamizu> the OS being linux?
[12:39] <Watza> (XD sorry I didn't found any chan for this)
[12:39] <ikonia> Watza maybe
[12:39] <echinos> Watza: It's and english channel, shoot
[12:39] <Watza> find*
[12:40] <ZeroA4> kamizu, yes
[12:40] <ikonia> ZeroA4: not a problem,
[12:40] <nibbler_> kamizu: sure
[12:40] <Watza> Well,
[12:40] <ZeroA4> ikonia, :)
[12:40] <tonisius> how do I figure out what distro of Ubuntu I'm using
[12:40] <ikonia> tonisius: lsb_release -a
[12:40] <tonisius> can't recall what to CAT out
[12:40] <Watza> this has no link with Ubuntu(but I love this, but I'm on windows currently, sorry)
[12:40] <tonisius> thanks
[12:40] <Watza> http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2008/12/05/being-happy-affects-even-those-you-dont-know.html
[12:40] <kamizu> well anyway..... is there a way to make ubuntu detect my fake raid setup?
[12:40] <Watza> I must summerize this :p
[12:40] <ZeroA4> tonisius, system - about ubuntu
[12:40] <Watza> And then, I must make a commentary about this
[12:40] <Watza> has someone 10 mins?
[12:40] <tonisius> ok, using edgy 6.10
[12:40] <ikonia> Watza: if it's nothing to do with ubuntu please don't talk about it in here
[12:40] <ikonia> Watza: this is for ubuntu support only
[12:41] <Watza> erf :[
[12:41] <Watza> k'kk
[12:41] <ikonia> Watza: thanks
[12:41] <tonisius> using default SSHD configuration, with the exception of listening on port 23
[12:41] <Watza> do u know a chan where...
[12:41] <ikonia> Watza: no
[12:41] <Watza> kk ;(
[12:41] <kamizu> well anyway..... is there a way to make ubuntu detect my fake raid setup?
[12:41] <ZeroA4> tonisius, very old... upgrade recommended
[12:41] <tonisius> ikonia: I did not change any auth settings
[12:41] <nibbler_> kamizu: i guess it is already detected, as only one disk show up in fdisk -l
[12:41] <tonisius> ZeroA4: can't stuck with it till a new server replaces this one
[12:41] <tonisius> cant, stuck*
[12:41] <ocRob> Watza: try #politics on efnet
[12:41] <ocRob> lol
[12:41] <paul68> ikonia: is it normal that it takes a long time to connect the first time?
[12:41] <Watza> lol tx ocRob
[12:41] <kamizu> nibbler_: no two disks showed up
[12:41] <ZeroA4> kamizu, only IF there is drivers for linux...
[12:41] <ikonia> tonisius: so all should be enabled by default, look at /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
[12:41] <tonisius> ikonia: how would I go about finding out where it's blocked.
[12:41] <tonisius> ah
[12:41] <nibbler_> kamizu: ah ok, you only pasted sda1
[12:41] <nibbler_> the no, no idea
[12:41] <tonisius> thanks
[12:42] <ikonia> kamizu: again - I strongly advice not using fake raid it will cause you problems
[12:42] <ikonia> paul68: are you connecting over cable/bluetooth what
[12:42] <nibbler_> i had two fakeraid installations already giving me fs errors etc
[12:42] <echinos> tonisius: can you telnet to port 23 from that server?
[12:42] <ZeroA4> kamizu, e seconded ikonia
[12:42] <tonisius> WOW
[12:42] <tonisius> ikonia: thank you very much
[12:42] <tonisius> sshd: <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:42] <ikonia> tonisius: no problem
[12:42] <tonisius> what added this IP to my hosts.deny ?
[12:42] <paul68> ikonia: ikonia using cable at this point or is it better to use bluetooth?
[12:42] <kamizu> ok......... then i will unraid my hdds :<<<<<<<<,
[12:42] <ikonia> tonisius: no idea
[12:42] <tonisius> hmm, thanks either way
[12:42] <ohletmeinnowgodd> why is my ntfs file systemj showing as fuseblk?
[12:43] <kamizu> thx for the help i guess =.=
[12:43] <ikonia> paul68: either is find, look at your .gnokiirc file it gives you detailso f the setup
[12:43] <Watza> I come to be banned ocRob lol
[12:43] <ocRob> ?
[12:43] <ikonia> eitehr is "fine"
[12:43] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  because its using ntfs-3g and that uses the 'fuse' tools/userspace filesystem most likely
[12:43] <_o-o_> Hi all
[12:43] <ikonia> Watza: please stop discussing it in here
[12:44] <tonisius> YAY! now connected directly to my server... finally
[12:44] <kamizu> OH GREAt
[12:44] <ikonia> tonisius please make all cheques payable to cash, no seriosuly, glad your working
[12:44] <kamizu> now it says that my drives are "non raid drives" WTF
[12:44] <kamizu> non-raid disk
[12:44] <ikonia> kamizu: please self moderate your language, we know what wtf means and don't need to see it
[12:44] <ikonia> kamizu: where does it say that /
[12:45] <kamizu> boot screen
[12:45] <kamizu> on the raid driver
[12:45] <ikonia> kamizu your windows boot screen ?
[12:45] <kamizu> raid bios thing
[12:45] <kamizu> before that
[12:45] <kamizu> it detects the drives
[12:45] <ikonia> kamizu: no idea - thats a hardware issue
[12:45] <kamizu> ubuntu did this..
[12:45] <nibbler_> kamizu: or they got unsynced by linux somehow...
[12:45] <ikonia> kamizu: as I said, fake raid is a bad technologyu
[12:45] <nibbler_> kamizu: just define a new array
[12:45] <ikonia> kamizu: it didn't - but your weclome to think that if it makes you feel better
[12:46] <kamizu> nibbler_ i have 500 gigs of data
[12:46] <nibbler_> "had" is the right tense
[12:46] <kamizu> phew
[12:46] <nibbler_> kamizu: raid5 or mirror or what?
[12:46] <ardchoille> Is there any way of adding an item to the desktop right-click menu that brings up the main menu when clicked?
[12:46] <kamizu> i turned my comp off at the power switch and turn it back on and it works now
[12:46] <nibbler_> hehe
[12:46] <ikonia> nibbler_ don't be sillt it will be raid 0 for mega performance
[12:47] <ikonia> nibbler_: sorry, I need quotes "mega performance"
[12:47] <salzh> hi. have someone successfully installed NIC driver of Gigabyte mainboard - GA-G31M-S2C, and the chipset is RTL8101E
[12:47] <nibbler_> ikonia: hrhr, raid isnt about performance, its the only reasonable way of backing up data!
[12:48] <Radtoo> raid can very well be about performance
[12:48] <ikonia> nibbler_: itis if you think your l33t and care about 2 second boot times
[12:48] <kamizu> umm..... how can i back up my entire drive? i want to unraid my drives.......
[12:48] <ikonia> kamizu get and external drive and copy the data off, people in ##windows will explain windows backup tools
[12:48] <Radtoo> and backups are just a seperate copy of data... might be good to put it on a more failsafe medium like a raid5 array, but still it needs to be a seperate copy
[12:48] <nibbler_> kamizu: if its a mirror just take one drive out of the config and copy data to that
[12:48] <Radtoo> raid5 alone is not a good backup. From experience. :)
[12:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> yay back with ubuntu 8.04 and everything works!
[12:49] <kamizu> nibbler_: i'm on raid0
[12:49] <nibbler_> Radtoo: sorry, forgot the <sarcasm/> tags :D
[12:49] <Radtoo> nibbler_: I see. :)
[12:49] <paul68> ikonia:  where do I find this file?
[12:49] <ikonia> paul68 normally in your home dir, but there should be a copy in /etc too I think
[12:50] <ohletmeinnowgodd> is "async"  for the "options" parameter in fstab the way in which the communication with the filesystem to be mounted with will be defined? ie parallel(sync.) and serial (async) ?
[12:50] <nibbler_> kamizu: raid0 is the best, lose one hd, lose all data :D
[12:50] <juancabrito> hi! when I start my computer, always get a message like "User's $HOME /.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language..." How can I fix that?
[12:50] <ikonia> nibbler_: again please remeber sarcasm tags
[12:50] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I have been using ubuntu since 6 and 8.10 was the worse one for me (I know it has been the best for some other people)
[12:50] <kamizu> nibbler_: i have it all backed up on an external lol
[12:50] <Radtoo> kamizu: hmm, but you want a backup that will then be readable under linux?
[12:50] <ohletmeinnowgodd> U-b-u-n-t-u: me<------the best
[12:50] <U-b-u-n-t-u> hehe
[12:51] <U-b-u-n-t-u> yeah lots of people like it
[12:51] <kamizu> Radtoo: nope, i'm going to install windows again
[12:51] <ohletmeinnowgodd> i used hardy and BOY was i PO'ed
[12:51] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: this is a support channel only please
[12:51] <kamizu> hey wait.........
[12:51] <Fazavon> U-b-u-n-t-u: I have to agree with you.. i am still at 8.04 LTS
[12:51] <kamizu> can i back up the OS? and then put it back
[12:51] <Radtoo> kamizu: yes, it should work if you do it right
[12:51] <ikonia> kamizu: the guys in ##windows will explain the windows backup tools
[12:51] <U-b-u-n-t-u> iknoia I am sorta talking about ubuntu and the difference for me so?
[12:51] <joaopinto> !ot | U-b-u-n-t-u
[12:51] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: your saying what's good and bad - this is uspport only please
[12:52] <ohletmeinnowgodd> is "async"  for the "options" parameter in fstab the way in which the communication with the filesystem to be mounted with will be defined? ie parallel(sync.) and serial (async) ?
[12:52] <Radtoo> kamizu: Agreed. From the linux point of view, you just should keep in mind that you want to have some unpartitioned space after putting the backup back. :)
[12:52] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok ok pfft
[12:52] <joaopinto> oh207, man mount (read the option help there)
[12:52] <joaopinto> ohletmeinnowgodd, ^
[12:52] <ohletmeinnowgodd> huh?
[12:52] <kamizu> Radtoo: but can i put it on my unraided drives and then boot from it?
[12:52] <ikonia> kamizu: the guys in ##windows will explain this
[12:53] <ikonia> kamizu: fake raid is a windows system
[12:53] <kamizu> ikonia they aren't really helping
[12:53] <ohletmeinnowgodd> joaopinto: huh?
[12:53] <ikonia> kamizu: they need to start, ubuntu is not for windows help
[12:54] <joaopinto> ohletmeinnowgodd, on the terminal type, "man mount", the options are described there
[12:54] <ikonia> ohletmeinnowgodd: that is a good way to see and understand the options available to you
[12:54] <ohletmeinnowgodd> oh ok, is that what "^" means?
[12:54] <ikonia> ohletmeinnowgodd it meant "look up"
[12:55] <Radtoo> kamizu: You can mostl likely do that but probably not without moving the data off the raid first. Caveats may apply depending on windews version. ##windows might know. :)
[12:55] <ohletmeinnowgodd> are all the mans stored in a central directory?
[12:55] <dr_willis> ^_^ --> smiley :)
[12:55] <joaopinto> ohletmeinnowgodd, yes, man man (for details)
[12:55] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  sort of. :)  thety are in a directory divided into sections.   depending on the type of documention
[12:56] <kamizu> [23:50:17] <kamizu> how can i back up my entire drive please?
[12:56] <kamizu> [23:52:51] <sheep97718> copy it
[12:56] <kamizu> lol
[12:56] <ikonia> kamizu you need to ask better questions
[12:56] <Radtoo> kamizu: might work with a linux called "clonezilla"
[12:56] <joaopinto> kamizu, you can use partimage, or you can use a regular archiving tool like tar
[12:56] <ikonia> kamizu: thats your fault
[12:57] <ikonia> Radtoo: won't if he can't mount the disks as a raid volume
[12:57] <ikonia> joaopinto: he can't see the disks as a raid device due to fake raid, just two seperate diekss
[12:57] <ikonia> disks
[12:57] <ikonia> joaopinto: he's using raid0 so the file system will be across both of them
[12:58] <joaopinto> ikonia, and partimage does not cope with that ? Isn't it presented as a logical partition ?
[12:58] <joaopinto> ah, you mean, it is not mounted
[12:58] <ikonia> joaopinto: because linux needs to get fakeraid working to see 1 disk make up of two, he just se's two physical standalone disks
[12:59] <ikonia> joaopinto: exactly
[12:59] <_0-^-0_> Hi all
[12:59] <joaopinto> ok ok sorry, didn't got all the entire problem
[12:59] <ikonia> joaopinto easy to miss
[12:59] <Radtoo> ikonia: I guess so, although sometimes its dmraid can actually pick things up. :)
[12:59] <Nalk> hello
[12:59] <ikonia> Radtoo it can - but in this case it's not
[13:00] <Radtoo> oh, you already tried. :)
[13:00] <ikonia> Radtoo not massivly hard, but as the technology is poor, didn't make any sense to push futher
[13:00] <kamizu> windows works fine, howcome ubuntu has problems
[13:00] <Nalk> i've an old installation of edubuntu here (6.x) and i want to upgrade it, but it says that a certification is wrong
[13:00] <Radtoo> ikonia: agreed.
[13:00] <Nalk> what could i do ?
[13:00] <ikonia> kamizu I explained there are no fakeraid drivers for linux-  they are reverse engineered windows ones
[13:01] <Radtoo> kamizu: windows never made it compatible. :)
[13:01] <kamizu> oh windows is mean
[13:01] <Radtoo> kamizu: There's a things that work between BSD, Solaris, Linux, OSX and more that won't work with windows, either. :D
[13:01] <joaopinto> kamizu, you can also ask your RAID card vendor for support
[13:02] <ikonia> joaopinto ho ho ho, nice one
[13:02] <Spiga> tipo
[13:02] <Fazavon> kamizu: see om
[13:02] <b33r> Hello when I do fsck I get this "inode has illegal blocks clear /y" what does it mean? is it ok to do yes? nothing will be lost?
[13:02] <Fazavon> kamizu: see pm*
[13:02] <joaopinto> !br | spiga
[13:03] <Radtoo> b33r: its a risky operation, so it warns you
[13:03] <joaopinto> b33r, data maybe lost, but since you have the FS corrupted, there is no alternative
[13:03] <Radtoo> b33r: If you easily can, make a backup first.
[13:03] <b33r> ok thanks
[13:03] <Radtoo> b33r: If not... I guess you'll have to say yes.
[13:03] <joaopinto> backing up a corrupted FS may not be a smart idea
[13:03] <syva> if anyone here is using the UK ISP virgin media and would like to help me confirm whether or not they are blocking are certain port range, pls PM me
[13:04] <Troy_> This maybe a dumb question, but does a DVD+/-RW Drive read CDs?  What about write CDs?  Or, does it only work with DVDs?
[13:04] <aperson> Troy_: should read cds fine
[13:04] <templaedhel> Troy_: the whole shabang, everything
[13:04] <joaopinto> Troy_, that is hw specific, but I have never found a dvd burner without cd burning capabilities
[13:05] <Troy_> Thanks all for your hlep!
[13:05] <Troy_> or your help.
[13:06] <templaedhel> okay, so I have ubuntu 8.10 and a dell inspiron e1505, and when I close the lid the screen doesn't shut off, but when I open it it turns of briefly then back on, like its just realizing the lid was closed
[13:06] <Radtoo> joaopinto: Sure it is, in the not impossible case that the fsprogs interpreted the problem / solution wrongly and destroy (more) data :)
[13:06] <Radtoo> joaopinto: Fortunately, that case is rare, but I had it before...
[13:07] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[13:07] <joaopinto> Radtoo, that is a very unlikely scenario on which the filesystem checking utility is broken :P
[13:07] <theDtTvB2`CZ> Hello.. I have Ubuntu running for a long time and it gets slower and slower... I tried creating a new user and it's fast like newly installed... How can I make my existing user fast like new user?
[13:07] <templaedhel> hi
[13:07] <theDtTvB2`CZ> Like... How can I remove all the settings done to the gnome desktop?
[13:07] <joaopinto> theDtTvB2`CZ, you need to clean/remove whatever you installed on that user's session
[13:08] <joaopinto> theDtTvB2`CZ, removing all settings is equivalent to creating a new user.. you already did that...
[13:08] <AzizLight> I've been using ubuntu for some time now. I wanted to try KDE. Now sincerely which do you suggest me, Kubuntu 8.10 or the latest OpenSuse?
[13:08] <theDtTvB2`CZ> Umm...
[13:08] <joaopinto> !best | AzizLight
[13:08] <ohletmeinnowgodd> how come when i run fdisk-l my swap filesystem shows up as solaris? lol i dont remember installing unix...
[13:08] <theDtTvB2`CZ> If I switch to terminal and type something like
[13:08] <theDtTvB2`CZ> mv .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity backupsettings
[13:08] <Radtoo> AzizLight: does it even matter?
[13:08] <theDtTvB2`CZ> Should it work?
[13:09] <templaedhel> I thought you could use the repos to install kde
[13:09] <joaopinto> ohletmeinnowgodd, #linux may be a better place to ask
[13:09] <Radtoo> AzizLight: I mean... you want KDE, you get KDE with either, might as well pick this.
[13:09] <joaopinto> ops, was for AzizLight
[13:09] <AzizLight> Radtoo: I dont know, I'm not searching for the "best" setup. I just want to have nice experience with KDE coming from gnome
[13:10] <ocRob> ohletmeinnowgodd: it should say Linux swap / Solaris
[13:10] <Radtoo> AzizLight: Try anthing that has kde4. It will at least be interesting. :)
[13:10] <ohletmeinnowgodd> ocROb yeah
[13:10] <theDtTvB2`CZ> Ok I will try that first...
[13:10] <templaedhel> anyone^^^
[13:10] <AzizLight> Radtoo: ok ;) thanks
[13:10] <joaopinto> AzizLight, you are looking for "the best" KDE experience, doing an inter-distro question, while this is a distro specific support channel ;)
[13:11] <AzizLight> joaopinto: good point :S
[13:11] <ocRob> ohletmeinnowgodd: solaris uses the same ID as linux swap space for its partitions
[13:13] <ohletmeinnowgodd> cool
[13:13] <templaedhel> okay, so I have ubuntu 8.10 and a dell inspiron e1505, and when I close the lid the screen doesn't shut off, but when I open it it turns of briefly then back on, like its just realizing the lid was closed anyone??
[13:14] <ocRob> templaedhel: anyone on the forums have that problem?
[13:14] <Radtoo> templaedhel: This is probably some sort of ACPI thing, and nontrivial. :D
[13:14] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> ikonia: I went into system update 'n it said last update done 4 hours ago!! I was not on my pc!!
[13:14] <ohletmeinnowgodd> templaedhel: yeah i have a vostro and sometimes it doesnt sleep/whatever i assign it to be done when i close the lid - so i just manually hibernate/usped/shutdown before i close the lid
[13:14] <ohletmeinnowgodd> *suspend...maybe someone here knows
[13:14] <templaedhel> still
[13:15] <templaedhel> I do that to but then it logs me off of here and everything, maybe I'm gone for a few minutes but I want to render a sequence
[13:15] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> ikonia: I opened Firefox from the wotsisname, but I couldn't see it 'cos it crashed 'n I couldn't select another window!
[13:15] <allsystemsarego> hibernate/suspend in Ubuntu is touch'n'go
[13:15] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: right. there isn't a good way to run all 3 screens as one large desktop. You can do that using Xinerama, but as I said you lose compositing and performance is pretty bad. (srry took so long to reply i was afk)
[13:16] <Radtoo> templaedhel: It might vanish if you update the kernel at some point. Maybe it's also the lid itself that does only have that magnetic attraction / angle to trigger the event before its closed (seen that before)
[13:16] <Stalker72> How do I edit the DNS servers of my network?
[13:16] <templaedhel> it seems I remember something about commenting out a line in lid.sh but I can't remember\
[13:16] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki: he, no problem :). I wonder if nvidia is going to implemented that feature in the near future?
[13:16] <templaedhel> I, not it
[13:16] <Radtoo> templaedhel: ah, you just want to disable it entirely?
[13:16] <allsystemsarego> Stalker72, /etc/resolv.conf
[13:17] <Lasiv> (longshot) has anyone managed to get "comical" running on 8.10? thanks
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Stalker72: edit /etc/resolv.conf
[13:17] <Stalker72> thx
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Stalker72: you specify nameservers there
[13:17] <templaedhel> Radtoo: no, it actually fixed the problem
[13:17] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> Would reinstalling Linux fix my system crashing????
[13:18] <Radtoo> templaedhel: Hm. That I don't know then, sorry. Perahaps someone else does... or the forums.
[13:18] <Stalker72> allsystemsarego and ActionParsnip: It doesn't work..
[13:18] <templaedhel> k thanks for your help
[13:18] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> I can only open Konversation, but  cannot close it or open any other app now!!!
[13:18] <allsystemsarego> Stalker72, what does it look like?
[13:19] <rainabba> Last time I tried Ubuntu I wasn't able to setup a software Raid5/6 during install with Ubuntu (iirc). Can I with the current stable distro?
[13:19] <Stalker72> allsystemsarego: Sec, let me post the screenshot on ImageShack and link it..
[13:19] <rainabba> Via a gui anyway?
[13:19] <Lektroluv> What to do when I get a screeninit failure when installing Ubuntu with Virtual PC 2007?
[13:19] <allsystemsarego> Stalker72, or use pastebin
[13:19] <Stalker72> allsystemsarego: What is that?
[13:20] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: I don't know. It is possible with the Quadro line, and they are aware of the issue - it comes up on the forums at least once a month. It sure is annoying, I know that much.

[13:21] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell me how to go about for a client server install
[13:21] <Radtoo> ohletmeinnowgodd: I'm pretty sure filesystems can have their own options... might be documented in the ntfs / ntfs-3g fs driver.
[13:21] <Stalker72> allsystemsarego: ok, thx
[13:21] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell me how to go about for a ubuntu client server install

[13:25] <archman> guys how to boot in hardy live dvd by writing dvd to ram?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> archman: the whole dvd?
[13:25] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=106517 for a possible alternative. And here is the "mosiac mode", which is what we want: http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_sli_mosaic_mode.html
[13:26] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki: thanks for the links
[13:26] <joejoejoe> Is there a pastebin?
[13:26] <Radtoo> ohletmeinnowgodd: took me a while, but its in the mount.ntfs-3g manpage... :D
[13:26] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: no problem. X offers a few options, so just play around with it and see which one works best for you. good luck!
[13:26] <allsystemsarego> !pastebin
[13:28] <ohletmeinnowgodd> so when i edit fstab, do i declare my filesystem as ntfs-3g OR fuseblk?
[13:28] <archman> ActionParsnip: no, just usual files needed to boot.
[13:28] <enzotib> ohletmeinnowgodd, ntfs is ok
[13:28] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell me how to go about for a ubuntu client server install

[13:28] <ohletmeinnowgodd> enzotib: will fuseblk work?
[13:29] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell me how to go about for a ubuntu client server install
[13:29] <enzotib> ohletmeinnowgodd, i don't know, but i think it doesn't work, i'm sure ntfs works
[13:29] <Slart> DarkKnight: "ubuntu client server" ?? what kind of server?
[13:30] <DarkKnight> Slart; probably a file sever
[13:30] <allsystemsarego> joejoejoe, use the built-in feature of nautilus
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> archman: its automatic, the live cd copies to ram to run
[13:30] <joejoejoe> allsystemsarego, OK i'll try it
[13:30] <allsystemsarego> joejoejoe, right-click on the iso file
[13:30] <Slart> DarkKnight: probably? you don't know?
[13:32] <DarkKnight> Slart; i m given the task 2 make a client server installation at my college computer lab....so i m not sure which one i have to use...you have any idea
[13:32] <_0-^-0_> who reticulum
[13:32] <joejoejoe> allsystemsarego, it sais: "There was an error writing to the disc"
[13:33] <Slart> DarkKnight: then I guess you either already have been (or will be) given instructions regarding this..
[13:33] <allsystemsarego> joejoejoe, I don't know what to recommend
[13:33] <scoremeformusic> is this the place to go for help? is there a specific room?
[13:34] <Radtoo> scoremeformusic: general ubuntu help starts here.
[13:34] <Slart> scoremeformusic: this is the official ubuntu support channel.. ask away
[13:34] <joejoejoe> allsystemsarego, OK
[13:34] <scoremeformusic> well, I need to set up wireless with an edimax router
[13:34] <DarkKnight> Slart; no...it was like i wanted linux to be in one of our labs...one main reason could be that i wanted to play around with server-client.....so it was my idea...
[13:35] <archman> ActionParsnip: i see, but it's stuck here on desktop, wonder if it will make it...
[13:35] <shazoor> which is better- windows or ubuntu?
[13:35] <Slart> DarkKnight: then you had better ask yourself what kind of server/client setup you want
[13:36] <Slart> shazoor: depends on who you are and what you want.
[13:36] <j_xinudsb> shazoor: better in what aspect ??
[13:36] <archman> shazoor: LOL
[13:36] <nexus23> can anyone who's proficient with ffmpeg help me, im trying to encode three files into one   and so for ffmpeg -i file1 -i file2 -i files3 newfile just encodes the first one
[13:36] <tchmnkyz> shazoor, i think your gonna get a bias opinion here
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: you can use cp for that
[13:36] <scoremeformusic> Radtoo: well I need to set up wireless with edimax router
[13:36] <nexus23> any specific syntax ActionParsnip ?
[13:36] <shazoor> sorry everyone, i was just testing if someone reply here. i will surely ask some good question in future
[13:37] <razzz> Hi, randomly ALT TAB starts closing windows instead of tabbing through them. Anyone have any ideas on this?
[13:37] <nibbler_> DarkKnight: setup a server, setup a client, connect, done
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337234
[13:37] <DarkKnight> Slart; the thing is that i have no idea about severs....and i just wanted to experiment it out...and 1 friend just proposed to put a samba sever...whats this samba sever
[13:37] <nexus23> these are video files ActionParsnip
[13:37] <Slart> DarkKnight: try typing !samba here in the channel
[13:37] <nibbler_> DarkKnight: a server is a computer that can - for any reason - be connected by another one (the otherone being the client)
[13:38] <nibbler_> DarkKnight: can be hosting files (samba) offering a remotelogin (ssh (telnet)), or run games like quake etc
[13:38] <scoremeformusic> anyone: is there a specific wireless/network help channel?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: you can still use cp with vid file s and they will join. You need an extra command to resync the audio though
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> !wifi | scoremeformusic
[13:38] <joaopinto> scoremeformusic, there is a #networking channel
[13:38] <rainabba> Last time I tried Ubuntu I wasn't able to setup a software Raid5/6 during install with Ubuntu (iirc). Can I with the current stable distro via a GUI installer?
[13:38] <DarkKnight> Slart, nibbler; so i can even run a mysql sever along with it...
[13:38] <incidence> Is adding another IP to NIC possible without losing the current internet connection?
[13:39] <incidence> "iface eth0:1 inet static ..."
[13:39] <nibbler_> rainabba: i think if it works, then with the alternate install cd, i'm not sure...
[13:39] <valdis> irc.freenode.net #ubuntu-lv
[13:39] <scoremeformusic> ubottu: I've been through that, I can't get the router set up in the first place
[13:39] <nibbler_> incidence: ifconfig eth0:1 <IP_ADDRESS> up
[13:39] <Slart> DarkKnight: sure.. webserver, samba server, ftp server, ssh server, quake server.. you can run all these, and more,  at the same time if you want to
[13:39] <incidence> nibbler_, ok thanks
[13:39] <nibbler_> DarkKnight: database server with a database client connecting is just as client/server as it gets
[13:39] <scoremeformusic> it was working last night, but I changed some settings, now it won't work. I've tried resetting it
[13:40] <rainabba> nibbler_: ty
[13:40] <scoremeformusic> oh cool thanks joaopinto
[13:40] <Slart> rainabba: I don't think so.. I think it's possible with the alternate install cd..
[13:40] <Slart> !alternate | rainabba
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> scoremeformusic: if you run: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old
[13:40] <milligan_> Ugh - Don't suppos eanyone here has any experience with FreeRadius and WiMAX ?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> scoremeformusic: then reboot, you will get a clean slate of config which you can then setup
[13:41] <scoremeformusic> actionparsnip: no such file/dir
[13:41] <nexus23> ActionParsnip, in the command mencoder -forceidx -ovc copy -oac copy -o file.avi p1.avi p2.avi ...  is p2.avi p2.avi the files i want to combine and file.avi is the new one?
[13:41] <allsystemsarego> scoremeformusic, is your router set up correctly (DHCP)?
[13:41] <DarkKnight> Slart, nibbler; so will it tax up if i try 2 run a web sever as well
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: looks like it, yes. If you keep the originals in a seperate folder you can play with copies to test stuff
[13:42] <nexus23> ok i did that and now theres no video
[13:42] <nexus23> just sound
[13:43] <Slart> DarkKnight: I didn't understand that question, can you rephrase?
[13:43] <nexus23> what do i do to get video?
[13:43] <scoremeformusic> allsystemsarego: I have the wire from the thernet port on the modem going to the wan port on the router, wire going from the lan port 1 on the router going into the pc. (not now, cos I need to be connected through wired conn to talk :S) I don't know what dhcp is...
[13:44] <BeBeLuShuL> heya
[13:44] <DarkKnight> Slart; so now if i install web, database and samba, will it affect the performance, speed etc....
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: cat filename.avi filename2.avi > endfilename.avi
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: should do it
[13:44] <BeBeLuShuL> can someone help me ? i have an sendmail problem
[13:44] <AzizLight> noobish question, so sorry in advance: I have one HD with my home partition on it and one HD with all the other ubuntu partitions. I want to install kubuntu and make it use my ubuntu home partition. All I have to do is create the kubuntu partitions on the second HD and mount the same home partition as the home partition?
[13:44] <BeBeLuShuL> on my mail.log i see this
[13:44] <Radtoo> AzizLight: Yes, bascically.
[13:44] <BeBeLuShuL> relay=[<IP_ADDRESS>] [<IP_ADDRESS>], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [<IP_ADDRESS>]
[13:44] <Slart> DarkKnight: just having them installed doesn't use many resources.. you can have 10 web sites up and running as long as noone is visiting them..
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: then run: mencoder -o endfilename.avi -noidx -oac copy -ovc copy combo.avi
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: combo.avi is your final result
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow> AzizLight O would just add kubuntu-desktop to your ubuntu and select between them at login
[13:45] <rainabba> What common limitations do people run into when running an x86_64 Ubuntu distro (drivers, software, etc) ?
[13:45] <nexus23> alright ActionParsnip thanks
[13:45] <joaopinto> BeBeLuShuL, you have setup your mail to do local delivery, and you do not have a SMTP service running on <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:45] <Radtoo> AzizLight: although as Jack_Sparrow said, just installing kde under ubuntu is somehow more elegant. :)
[13:45] <joaopinto> rainabba, not much these days
[13:45] <BeBeLuShuL> ok jaopinto
[13:45] <BeBeLuShuL> but how can i make it to work ?
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> rainabba flash and then not everything is compiled for 64 and you have to chroot it
[13:46] <BeBeLuShuL> have any ideea ?
[13:46] <Slart> rainabba: some flash issues... sometimes java issues.. some weird proprietary stuff isn't available as 64-bit (bank security software for example)
[13:46] <joaopinto> BeBeLuShuL, are you using postfix ?
[13:46] <joaopinto> BeBeLuShuL, sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[13:46] <BeBeLuShuL> no jaopinto
[13:46] <BeBeLuShuL> i sue snedmail
[13:46] <DarkKnight> Slart; the plan is like...only the sever will be connected to the internet...no client systems will access the internet unless approved by the admin
[13:46] <BeBeLuShuL> use
[13:46] <joaopinto> I only have experience with postfix
[13:46] <AzizLight> Jack_Sparrow, Radtoo : I heard there was a lot of bugs with that? is that true? because I would much rather just install ubuntu desktop
[13:46] <DarkKnight> Slart; the plan is like...only the sever will be connected to the internet...no client systems will access the internet unless approved by the admin...so how do u do that
[13:46] <Slart> !ics | DarkKnight
[13:46] <epifanio> ragazzi ho problemi con la rete questo quello che ho fatto fino ad ora :-( http://rafb.net/p/jEZbIY24.html  senza ottenere risultati :-(
[13:46] <BeBeLuShuL>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[13:46] <BeBeLuShuL> sudo: unable to resolve host bebe-desktop
[13:46] <BeBeLuShuL> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postfix is broken or not fully installed
[13:46] <scoremeformusic> join/ #networking
[13:47] <joaopinto> BeBeLuShuL, this only works for postfix you need to install it
[13:47] <BeBeLuShuL> thats the error jaopinto
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> AzizLight You will end up running a lot of kde libs on ubuntu anyhow for things like k3b which is one of the best burning programs etc..
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !it
[13:47] <Radtoo> AzizLight: haven't tried it with this release yet, but I think its not true
[13:47] <BeBeLuShuL> did it jaopinto
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> AzizLight if you dont like it , you can restore from a backup or see the link below..
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !puregnome
[13:48] <BeBeLuShuL> now it opened some windows
[13:48] <BeBeLuShuL> and i have some options there
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> nexus23: All good?

[13:49] <j_xinudsb> ubottu: how about autoremove
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> np :)
[13:49] <joaopinto> BeBeLuShuL, sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix , select to use a relay, and set your ISP relay
[13:49] <DarkKnight> Slart; well thank you buddy....you have helped me a lot
[13:49] <Slart> DarkKnight: you're welcome.. good luck with the computer lab
[13:49] <BeBeLuShuL> jaopinto : there are some options
[13:49] <DarkKnight> Slart; thanxx
[13:49] <AzizLight> Jack_Sparrow: just one question. What might be the consequences of installing kubuntu-desktop? is it that bad to have a lot of kde libs on ubuntu?
[13:50] <skenderbeu> hello ubu guyss
[13:50] <BeBeLuShuL> jaopinto : no configuration , internet site , internet with smarthost
[13:50] <skenderbeu> love you
[13:51] <BeBeLuShuL> what option to enable ?
[13:51] <H1-T3CH> Hi
[13:51] <H1-T3CH> is there any Sharepoint Client under ubuntu ?
[13:51] <el_bixo> holaaa spaniosh/english
[13:51] <joaopinto> BeBeLuShuL, internet with smarthost
[13:52] <joaopinto> BeBeLuShuL, and you need to know your ISP SMTP server name
[13:52] <joaopinto> !es | el_bixo
[13:52] <BeBeLuShuL> pfff
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> AzizLight I do run any kde app I feel works best for me.  There are some that want pure gnome or pure kde etc.. I dont feel I lose much of anything in performance or stability
[13:52] <BeBeLuShuL> how to know that ?
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> skenderbeu This is ubuntu support, please find an appropiate room if you are looking for chat.. thanks
[13:53] <rainabba> Jack_Sparrow: ty
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:54] <H1-T3CH> is there any Sharepoint Client under ubuntu ?
[13:54] <AzizLight> Jack_Sparrow: I guess I'll just install kubuntu-desktop, and if I like it more than ubuntu than I'll create a new partition for it later (might even replace ubuntu)
[13:54] <skenderbeu> i didn't talk to you!
[13:54] <AzizLight> Jack_Sparrow: anyway thanks for the help
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> anytime
[13:54] <Slart> H1-T3CH: isn't sharepoint supposed to be used from a web browser?
[13:54] <rainabba> 8.10 is Intrepid or Hardy?
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> skenderbeu This is ubuntu support, please find an appropiate room if you are looking for chat.. thanks
[13:54] <Slart> !intrepid
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> rainabba: its intrepid
[13:54] <rainabba> ty
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> rainabba: hardy is 8.04
[13:55] <H1-T3CH> Slart : yes but in my case not all the contents are displayed. It just work fine under internet explorer !
[13:55] <samool2> Hello, can someone help me with a problem I have?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> !ask | samool2
[13:55] <rainabba> Slart: A browser is one of many clients for Sharepoint. MS Office 2003+, XP, and Vista can all access Sharepoint natively.
[13:55] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, i guess i'm going with a single x-screen solution for the monitor on the second card, which will hold the static applications (chat, mpc, etc), until nvidia solves this base problem :)
[13:55] <Slart> rainabba: ah.. thanks
[13:55] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: that is what I settled on after a lot of experimenting. It's the "least bad" choice, IMO.
[13:56] <Slart> H1-T3CH: I haven't seen anything.. but there might be something out there.. have you searched the forums?
[13:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !nickspam > DareDevil0
[13:56] <samool2> Ok, I have a problem with my usb headset, I can hear audio from games, but on youtube and such, I cannot hear audio. Does anyone know why that is?
[13:56] <H1-T3CH> Slart : no result :(
[13:56] <rainabba> Just to confirm, the following link is for Hardy, 64bit (Intel and AMD), Alt-CD right?  http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent
[13:56] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, yeah, you still have compiz on all screens which is fine.. when i tried that 2 hours tho, i had the problem that the twinview-screens were only handled as a single one anymore, gotta fix that to make it fully usable
[13:57] <samool2> Anyone?
[13:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !patience
[13:57] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: compiz (and some other WMs) can limit the maximizing to a single monitor. Some windows will still "pop up" centered between the two right side monitors, though.
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> !sound | samool2
[13:58] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, well with only the two monitors enabled it works, but when enabling x-screen on third monitor it doesnt work anymore
[13:58] <pybe> on a fresh install of 8.10 I am having weird lan issues. I can get out to net and access lan servers by ip or host but anything host.domain.local fails..... what have i misses/done wrong
[13:59] <Jack_Sparrow> DASPRiD but with effects of it works right
[13:59] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: it will, just play with your WM. I think I set the Outputs manually in Compiz > Display Settings to reflect two monitors. Can't remember exactly, but most stuff will work right there
[13:59] <skenderbeu> does anybody know how can i convert wav files to mp3?
[13:59] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, yeah i will experiement this evening after work
[14:00] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: things like the gksu window and logout window and the like will still open centered across two monitors. a bit annoying, but workable
[14:00] <Jack_Sparrow> DASPRiD The compiz channel is a good place for help on that as well
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> pybe: looks like dns is failing, are your dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf
[14:00] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, audacity
[14:00] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, well as i said, with just the two monitors, that doesnt :)
[14:00] <DASPRiD> it works like it should
[14:01] <pybe> skenderbeu: look here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-236788.html
[14:01] <skenderbeu> yes i have audacity but where can i go?
[14:01] <DASPRiD> dunno why it gets messed up after
[14:01] <DASPRiD> probably have to override the xinerama fake info
[14:01] <hin_Spage> ? Do I need to install Thunderbird on Ubuntu to get my mail improted to Evolution ?
[14:01] <pybe> ActionParsnip: nslookup for host.domain.local works and ping host replies from host.domain.local but ping host.domain.local fails as unknown host
[14:02] <Slart> skenderbeu: of course you've already googled and searched the forums.. but I still would like to bring up a post from the forums.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323639
[14:02] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, remember to start audacity with a leading "aoss"
[14:02] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: There is a patch for that, and a fake libxinerama.so (?) available from links at the Nvidia forum somewhere. I tried those, but never could get them working right. Might be worth a look though. maybe you will have better luck than i did.

[14:04] <AKangB> Slart, By my teacher don't say that ;)
[14:04] <Slart> AKangB: "/away I'm having dinner" to set yourself away... I think it's just /away or /back to reset it
[14:04] <AKangB> but my
[14:04] <Slart> AKangB: bah.. teachers.. what do they know ;)
[14:04] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: i agree. dual monitors are quite well supported all around. moving beyond that ... not so much
[14:04] <Dolo> how do you delete apps from the start menu in ubuntu?
[14:04] <DASPRiD> yeah

[14:12] <shauno> mmarcelo: loud and clear
[14:12] <mmarcelo> ha! thank you. :)
[14:12] <scoremeformusic> allsystemsarego: I installed that a while back, just upadted the whole system a few hours ago. Okay, from what people have told me, literally all I should have to do is plug everything in the way I have, and it shouls just pop up on the computer, I've used other wireless connections on this laptop
[14:12] <mmarcelo> i'm new to ubuntu (and linux in general) and i'm enjoying it a lot.
[14:12] <scoremeformusic> what library? I'm a complete noob, sorry.
[14:12] <pybe> on a fresh install of 8.10 I am having weird lan issues. I can get out to net fine and access lan servers by ip or host but anything host.domain.local fails even though nslookup resolves it fine..... what have i missed/done wrong
[14:13] <allsystemsarego> scoremeformusic, sorry wrong recipient
[14:13] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, the library is liblame0 for the sake of completeness
[14:14] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, if you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras you should be fine
[14:14] <scoremeformusic> okay so besides the restricted.extras, is there naything else I can try?
[14:14] <AzizLight> Jack_Sparrow: I think I have a crush for Kubuntu lol
[14:14] <hin_Spage> ? Do I need to install Thunderbird on Ubuntu to get my mail imported to Evolution or can I use the lib i got from Windows?
[14:14] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, http://stuff.dasprids.de/img_4263.jpg <-- thats the new setup btw :)
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> AzizLight Glad you like it..  It is more like the windows that most people migrate from
[14:15] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: are you there dude?
[14:15] <RoflCopter> smoking sucks
[14:15] <skenderbeu> allsystemsarego do i need to install libmp3lame.dev to convert wav to mp3 files in audacity?
[14:15] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: nice
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> hin_Spage no you should not need to do that, and I know nothing of the evolution application
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > RoflCopter
[14:16] <dust_t> hello how do i install screen and graphics mentioned on this page ? http://my.opera.com/sjosul/blog/ubuntu-8-04-dual-monitor-setup
[14:17] <remoteCTR1> dust_t: what graphics card is that?
[14:17] <skenderbeu> and how can i convert wav files to mp3 in audacity?
[14:17] <dust_t> remoteCTR1, intel
[14:17] <AzizLight> Jack_Sparrow: I hate windows. I like KDE because it looks/feels/seems so fresh. Gnome compared to it seems lacking
[14:17] <remoteCTR1> dust_t: err thats gonna be tough..
[14:17] <DASPRiD> AzizLight, gnome lacking? nah :x
[14:18] <AzizLight> DASPRiD: was that ironic? :P
[14:18] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, open wav file, export as mp3
[14:18] <dust_t> remoteCTR1, oh! has anyone done it ?
[14:18] <DASPRiD> AzizLight, no, yours? :P
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRsup bro
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry I missed that last comment...
[14:19] <AzizLight> DASPRiD: neither :P I really think gnome is lacking compared to KDE. You should try Kubuntu and you'll come up with the same conclusion :P
[14:19] <remoteCTR1> dust_t: basically you can do that, i havent used that sceens and graphics programm yet but edited the xorg.conf and that is a little ... err tricky
[14:19] <DASPRiD> AzizLight, i did and i didnt ;)
[14:19] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: he ther, man hows it goin?:)
[14:19] <dust_t> remoteCTR1, not recommended then /
[14:20] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: i need support on autofs, do you happen to be familiar with that?
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> AzizLight We try to avoid those types of discussions in here thanks
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> !info autofs
[14:20] <skenderbeu> allsystemsarego how can i do that?
[14:20] <remoteCTR1> dust_t: well recommended is not the point its more like complicated
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRno idea man, i always mount manually
[14:20] <skenderbeu> to export it as a mp3 ?
[14:20] <dust_t> remoteCTR1, can you point me to any howto for that ?
[14:20] <AzizLight> Jack_Sparrow: yes I'm sorry, didnt mean to start that conversation :S
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[14:21] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: http://img101.imageshack.us/my.php?image=08121223160001in7.jpg
[14:21] <remoteCTR1> dust_t: gimme a sec
[14:21] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, i really dislike imageshack, most of the time the images dont display ...
[14:21] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, File-Open, then File-Export
[14:21] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, neat setup! :)
[14:21] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, is that 3x 22" wd as well?
[14:21] <AzizLight> ushimitsudoki: nice lol
[14:21] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: 3x24"
[14:22] <AKangB> Does anybody know about EggDrops!? I cannot connect it to any server. It returns me that It has been I-Lined & I have only Xchat open (If I have any mistake Writting, Please, Say it to me :D)
[14:22] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, ouch even better ;)
[14:22] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: in that case thanks and sorry for disturbing:)
[14:22] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: I have a smaller 4th LCD I want to mount on the wall there where the calendar is. waiting on the bosses (wifes) approval
[14:22] <skenderbeu> it didn't appeared as a mp3 allsystemsarego
[14:22] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, hehe yeah why not *G*
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTR1: its not hard. i dont get all these automounters
[14:23] <henke> can I get nautilus to automatically mount a network mount on start?
[14:23] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, so did you run it as "aoss audacity" ?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> henke: if you add it to fstab, it'll mount at boot
[14:24] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: basically i am doing authentication and mapping via ldap and actually everything works fine so far but i cant figure what to put in those auto.* maps in order to have this mounted properly
[14:24] <skenderbeu> yes
[14:24] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, so pretty many people are waiting for triplehead/quadrohead support on linux i c ;)
[14:24] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: and lemme tellya it wasnt easy:D
[14:24] <allsystemsarego> did you open the wav file with File-Open?
[14:24] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: Once the developers start getting them we will get better support :)
[14:24] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, did you open the wav file with File-Open?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTR1: if you create a file with your credentials in it will be used for the mount
[14:25] <skenderbeu> yes
[14:25] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, hehe
[14:25] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, ok, now go to File-Export
[14:25] <skenderbeu> aha i went
[14:26] <allsystemsarego> you should select MP3 files skenderbeu
[14:26] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, lower right-hand corner
[14:27] <skenderbeu> yes i did that
[14:27] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: actually its not that easy i neted to insert labels and mount options and stuff, but this somehow has
[14:27] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, choose a name for it e.g. music.mp3
[14:27] <remoteCTR1>  to be generic as multiple persons are supposed to login there and that is what i dont get BUT eventually i just found someone who is a pro on it
[14:27] <miaoxiaoming> hello
[14:28] <allsystemsarego> skenderbeu, and click save
[14:28] <stategrid> ?
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry all, a little housekeeping before things get busy
[14:29] <allsystemsarego> Jack_Sparrow, ten years of purgatory for that :P
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> allsystemsarego I needed to make room in there for you  :)
[14:29] <skenderbeu> thx allsystemsarego thx
[14:29] <miaoxiaoming> hello everyone!
[14:31] <Feddozz> Hello and Merry Christmas!!! I have Pidgin 2.4.1 on hardy. how can i update to the las version?
[14:32] <joaopinto> Feddozz, either you update your distro version, which is the official process, or you get a package from getdeb (which is not official)
[14:32] <aperson> Feddozz: there is a ppa @ https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive
[14:32] <jrib> Feddozz: install pidgin from hardy-backports
[14:32] <jrib> !info pidgin hardy-backports
[14:33] <Feddozz> joaopinto/ what is getdeb? how can i use it?
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> getdeb.net
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> !getdeb
[14:34] <jrib> Feddozz: you should stick to official repositories whenever possible
[14:34] <joaopinto> Feddozz, www.getdeb.net, or release upgrade
[14:34] <Feddozz> jrib/ ok but intrepid gave me too many probs
[14:34] <jrib> Feddozz: I did not tell you to upgrade to intrepid.  I suggested you use the hardy-backports repository in hardy
[14:35] <Feddozz> jrib/ ah ok
[14:36] <Feddozz> jrib/ how should I use those backports
[14:36] <jrib> Feddozz: system -> administration -> software sources, tick hardy-backports, upgrade pidgin
[14:37] <Feddozz> jrib/ tnx
[14:37] <kise> How do i test my harddrive write speed?
[14:37] <joaopinto> kise, man hdparm
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> kise: hdparam
[14:38] <erry> can u help me with the rename command
[14:38] <joaopinto> eracc, you mean "mv" ?
[14:38] <jrib> erry: what do you want to do?
[14:38] <erry> jirib: rename all files starting metalic_ to metallic_(rest of name)
[14:38] <stategrid> um
[14:38] <erry> jrib*
[14:38] <Radtoo> kise: more detailed tests including factors like the filesystem and so on are possible with bonnie++... just fyi
[14:39] <jrib> erry: did you see the man page for examples?  Do you have any guesses as to what the command will look like?
[14:39] <erry> um
[14:39] <erry> it has rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> erry hint: terminal   man mv
[14:39] <d3co> hey can you give yours JAVAHOME
[14:39] <erry> mv?
[14:39] <erry> that's move right
[14:40] <kise> Rado, thanks , fyi?
[14:40] <LjL> Jack_Sparrow, mv won't help very much there, unless used in a loop
[14:40] <joaopinto> erry, batch renaming requires some commandd integration
[14:40] <LjL> erry: rename 's/^metalic_/metallic_/' *
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> erry: if you mv to the same folder it renames it
[14:40] <Radtoo> kise: fyi - "for your information"
[14:40] <TheFuzzball> Hey, does anyone know how to copy an ISO to a HDD partition and then boot from it?
[14:40] <jrib> erry: don't run that, LjL made a typo
[14:40] <Radtoo> TheFuzzball: try wubi :P
[14:40] <erry> ..
[14:40] <erry> too late
[14:40] <joaopinto> oh, there is a rename command :D
[14:40] <Radtoo> TheFuzzball: Its not doing exactly that, but easier.
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> LjL Ah, reread the question.. ty
[14:40] <LjL> jrib: i did?
[14:40] <FiReSTaRT> has anyone experienced problems updating openoffice 3?
[14:40] <bttm> .org
[14:41] <erry> jrib, i ran it now
[14:41] <erry> :D
[14:41] <TheFuzzball> Radtoo, I hate Wubi, sorry.
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Radtoo Wubi is not something I ever recommend or ude
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> FiReSTaRT: theres a tarred lot of deb files to install
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> use
[14:41] <kise> Radtoo, thanks, i did use the -t -T thing in hdparm but it only test read speed ;)
[14:41] <jrib> erry: erm, ok.  Did it do what you wanted?  Maybe I misunderstood
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> FiReSTaRT: on the open office site
[14:41] <erry> jrib it worked
[14:41] <erry> sooooo
[14:41] <FiReSTaRT> ActionParsnip: ahh ok and that'll fix the issue?
[14:42] <jrib> LjL: erm, yeah.  I misread :)
[14:42] <Radtoo> Jack_Sparrow: Mkay. Well, it worked on all setups for me, but I guess it has drawbacks. :)
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Radtoo But when you understand what it does and how it works you wont use it long term
[14:42] <TheFuzzball> I've tried chainloader +1 but it doesn't work :(
[14:42] <Radtoo> Jack_Sparrow: of course I understand that
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Radtoo If you call wiping out your windows install a drawback yea, but in a way, that is a plus
[14:43] <shiftplusone_> Hello, I am trying to install okular from andLinux and am getting some unmet dependencies... this isn't an andLinux problem (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/okular/+bug/145548).... can someone help me get okular working?
[14:44] <Radtoo> Jack_Sparrow: I also don't have to do that nor does it happen just like that, but alas...
[14:44] <Genscher> is there a way to force the live cd to boot xorg using vesa driver?
[14:44] <shiftplusone_> libgs-esp8, libpoppler1, libpoppler1-qt4 are the missing packages.
[14:44] <Genscher> (some boot opttion?)
[14:45] <joaopinto> Genscher, have you checked the options on the bottom of the screen during the boot menu ?
[14:45] <Genscher> yes, they all don't set xorg.conf to vesa
[14:45] <lesshaste> what's the new version of kpdf called for intrepid?
[14:46] <Radtoo> TheFuzzball: Anyhow... I think there's some hacks to grub / lilo in the past that supported this, but as far as I know off-the-mill ones only work if you actually copy files to a partition.
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Genscher this may work on the command line..   xdrvr=vesa,
[14:46] <GleepGlop> I cannot access any console.  My screen goes black when I try to move from tty7 to say, tty 1 through 6.
[14:46] <shiftplusone_> lesshaste, okular
[14:46] <lesshaste> shiftplusone_, ok thanks
[14:46] <allsystemsarego> Genscher, let it boot, then Ctrl-Alt-F1, and vi xorg.conf
[14:46] <joaopinto> hum, I had the idea there was a force vesa driver option on the intrepid cd
[14:46] <joaopinto> allsystemsarego, it's a live cd ...
[14:46] <brett> telstra.com
[14:46] <Radtoo> TheFuzzball: There's no notion as treating a file on a filesystem on a hdd partition like a cd / dvd device on boot.
[14:46] <TheFuzzball> Radtoo, how do you mean? I have done dd if=thing.iso of=/dev/sda2
[14:47] <allsystemsarego> joaopinto, yes, it wors, I've done it
[14:47] <allsystemsarego> *works
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[14:47] <TheFuzzball> Radtoo, what filesystem do DVDs use?
[14:47] <joaopinto> TheFuzzball, dumpingo an iso into a partition ? What are you trying to achieve ?
[14:47] <brutus> !ubottu
[14:47] <Radtoo> TheFuzzball: I mean a filewise copy to some ext3 or something like that... there's forum posts describing how its done.
[14:48] <Radtoo> TheFuzzball: Iso9660 or less frequently, udf. Iso may have boot extensions.
[14:49] <TheFuzzball> Radtoo, If I had a partition that was formatted to ISO9660 with installation files on it how would I boot it?
[14:52] <derek_> ccc
[14:53] <slayton> if I lock my session will cron jobs still execute?
[14:53] <LjL> yeah
[14:53] <Radtoo> TheFuzzball: Grub itself is able to access such filesystems... and it can handle el-torito boot headers. But if I had to guess, it won't work anyways because of the boot scripts and such not being intended that way. :)
[14:54] <derek_> HI，大家好
[14:55] <SlimeyPete> hi.
[14:55] <_21h_> hi all. http://paste.ubuntu.com/84393/ how to fix this?
[14:55] <echinos> Is there a mixer for ubuntu that will show levels?
[14:56] <nibbler_> _21h_: nothing to fix, just a warning
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> _21h_: in terminal you could export those variales then run the app
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> _21h_: but as nibbler_ says, its a warning only
[14:57] <_21h_> heh
[14:57] <_21h_> this warning bombs my email
[14:57] <_21h_> cron.d after tasks sends to me reports
[14:57] <nibbler_> _21h_: > /dev/null
[14:57] <nibbler_> :D
[14:57] <echinos> I'm having issues with apps not being able to output sound, although I've told pulseaudio to create the virtual devices for simultaneous sound
[14:57] <SlimeyPete> _21h_: that's very unlikely. Perhaps the warning is being printed, and then your email client crashes for some other reason without printing an error message?
[14:58] <_21h_> nibbler_, haha very funny
[14:58] <_21h_> SlimeyPete, not crashes. this warning kills my eyes when i read cron.d report
[14:58] <SlimeyPete> oh right
[14:58] <SlimeyPete> I see.
[14:59] <jstritar> I put my computer to sleep last night, and now it won't boot! This person has had the same problem -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=954515. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
[14:59] <jstritar> I really need to get some data off it....
[14:59] <jstritar> Will I be able to mount the main disks if I boot from the live cd?
[15:00] <Radtoo> jstritar: Yes. Unless they're broken entirely.
[15:00] <jstritar> hmm okay
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: check system logs
[15:00] <Radtoo> jstritar: (I mean... the hardware)
[15:00] <jstritar> ActionParsnip: I can't boot ... at all
[15:01] <jstritar> when I restarted the computer it complained about the overclocking settings (first time in 1.5 years), and said it can't find a master HD
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: not even to recovery mode?
[15:01] <jstritar> nothing
[15:01] <jstritar> I had it reset the bios to clear the overclocking problems
[15:01] <Radtoo> Well...
[15:01] <jstritar> but it still wont' boot into anything
[15:01] <Radtoo> Maybe you just lost your bios settings?
[15:01] <Radtoo> did you check what drive it tries to boot off now?
[15:01] <Radtoo> Perhaps it just uses the wrong hdd or something
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: boot to live cd and run an fsck
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: do you get the grub boot?
[15:02] <jstritar> I have an SSD with the OS and a raid array with my data
[15:02] <jstritar> no
[15:02] <Radtoo> jstritar: I dont think that prevents the bios from trying to boot off the wrong drive, per se?
[15:03] <Radtoo> jstritar: So, did you try the other drives first? As you obviously lost your settings.
[15:03] <jstritar> will i be able to run fsck on that?
[15:03] <jstritar> the RAID isn't being found either...
[15:03] <jstritar> its like the motherboard isn't working
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: as long as you can get some kind of boot (be it cd or whatever) you can fsck
[15:04] <jstritar> okay
[15:04] <jstritar> its booting on teh livecd right now
[15:04] <jstritar> what is the actual command for fsck?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: sudo fsck /dev/<unmounted partition name>
[15:05] <Radtoo> jstritar: Do you have some nifty asus / gigabyte mainboard? They sometimes have two copies of the bios & settings with a failover. Perhaps it reverted to an older bios on the mainboard side. :)
[15:05] <jstritar> I think I have an asus
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Radtoo the dual bios gigabit has saved me more than once
[15:05] <Radtoo> jstritar: might be something to check, if you have one of the ones that have multiple bios. perhaps you got back to an older version inadvertedly
[15:05] <jstritar> I'll check it out
[15:06] <NEWK> Hey, what woudl be the best CD burnign software for Ubuntu?
[15:06] <Radtoo> NEWK: Subjective, but lots of people like k3b
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> !best | NEWK
[15:06] <NEWK> Ah, that's what peopel are telling me in other places
[15:06] <NEWK> I need a smartass bot like that for my channel. :D
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> NEWK: its like asking what the best ANYTHING is. It doesnt exist as all products are subjective
[15:07] <NEWK> Well, you know what I meant
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> !burning | NEWK
[15:07] <NEWK> ok, people are clearly pointing me towards k3b. I shall check it out
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> NEWK: try a few, see which you like
[15:07] <NEWK> I just need to burn one CD
[15:07] <NEWK> I'm burning an OS from an ISO
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> NEWK: make sure you md5 ;)
[15:07] <Radtoo> NEWK: you could do that on the command line :)
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> NEWK right click the iso and burn to disk
[15:08] <pumpkin> is the KDE 4.1.3 in ubuntu 8.10 usually stable and fast on older cards or should i just stick to the default gnome?
[15:08] <jstritar> While running the liveCD it spits out a ton of errors "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 357904. end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 143116"
[15:08] <jstritar> is that something to worry about :\
[15:08] <Radtoo> NEWK: At that level, the decision generally is like unambiguous. :)
[15:08] <NEWK> huh?
[15:08] <kalle_> Apparently feisty disappeared from the archives at http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/. Which other sources can I define to add packages to my feisty installation?
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> NEWK You should not need to install any software for that
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | NEWK
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> kalle_ it is eol
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !eol
[15:09] <gambix> is there somebody that can help me about the glib dev package ?

[15:09] <NEWK> Awesomeness
[15:10] <joaopinto> gambix, pastebin your make error
[15:10] <kalle_> Jack_Sparrow: I don't need security updates. But can I find the old repositories somewhere?
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> kalle_ yes there are old -releases..
[15:10] <kalle_> Jack_Sparrow: where?
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[15:11] <frenkel> are all laptop-disks vulnerable to the Load_Cycle_Count bug? I have a 2.5" disk in my barebone computer, should I apply a bug-fix?
[15:11] <NEWK> HOLY CRAP! :D It works!!!
[15:11] <NEWK> Thanks a lot, guys
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:11] <NEWK> Ubuntu owns!
[15:11] <NEWK> bye
[15:12] <kalle_> Jack_Sparrow: thanks! I'll try those
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> kalle_ still best to upgrade that
[15:12] <jstritar> If I have a drive mounted on /media/disk... how do I tell what /dev/<device> it maps to?
[15:13] <kalle_> sure. but right now I don't want to change my running system
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> jstritar sudo mkdir /media/blah then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/blah substitute your drive for sda1
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> kalle_ If you have room, dual boot two ubuntu's
[15:14] <jjong> is there any way to control play-speed in audacious?
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> jstritar See also.. sudo fdisk -l    last letter is L
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: bit of a needless excercise?
[15:14] <gambix> joaopinto: http://pastebin.com/m41c6ac46
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip Thaks for your opinion
[15:15] <kalle_> Jack_Sparrow: no space, no time, just need to add a few packages
[15:15] <joaopinto> gambix, you need libglib2.0-dev
[15:16] <gambix> joaopinto: the problem is that lib is installed
[15:16] <joaopinto> gambix, you know that there are packages available for gambas, right ?
[15:16] <gambix> joaopinto: i'm a gambas dev
[15:17] <gambix> joaopinto: i'm working on the gb.dbus component
[15:17] <joaopinto> gambix, it should be easier to use the building rules for the debian package, it includes options specific to debian/ubuntu
[15:17] <gambix> joaopinto: i'm trying lol
[15:17] <joaopinto> gambix, right now your problem is the header path
[15:18] <joaopinto> which is /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib-object.h for ubuntu
[15:18] <joaopinto> gambix, I have built a gambas package 4 months ago, using the debian build rules, it built successfully
[15:18] <jstritar> The SSD with the OS is fine. I think the problem is that my boot records are on the RAID array and the bios isn't recognizing my RAID controller anymore (I can't go into the 3ware bios setup)
[15:19] <NoiseEee> i have 8.1 server... how might i go about getting the new MySQL 5.1, do I need to wait until apt-get has it?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: good troubleshooting skills dude :D
[15:19] <tmg1|work> NoiseEee: you may want to wait
[15:19] <tmg1|work> NoiseEee: have you heard about the bugs in 5.1 ?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> NoiseEee: you may be able to find a 3rd party repo with it on
[15:19] <jstritar> ActionParsnip: any ideas on how to get the RAID recognized again :\
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: ive not used it in a soft raid, only a true raid so I'm not much cop
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> !raid | jstritar
[15:20] <NoiseEee> thanks all
[15:20] <NoiseEee> i'll wait :)
[15:21] <melch> Hi i just got a nvidia 9500 gt card. I installed the drivers from the repos and my xserv broke
[15:21] <jstritar> ActionParsnip: I have real raid 10 via a 3ware controller
[15:21] <jstritar> its not finding the 3ware card
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: then set it up in the controller
[15:21] <adaminla> Anyone know how to get into the bios on an "e-machine"?
[15:21] <jstritar> it never displays the little 3ware bios thing... so i can't enter the controller setup!
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> jstritar: you may need to install modules / settings for the card
[15:21] <Mud|dev> melch: press esc on boot, go to rescue mode and select fix xorg
[15:22] <Mud|dev> you can select that from the menu
[15:22] <NoiseEee> does that go for things like imagemagick as well?

[15:35] <lianimator> krish: english text?
[15:35] <krish> lianimator yes english text is displayed as some meaningless characters in hindi (an indian language)
[15:36] <lianimator> krish: check if your encoding is default or english?
[15:36] <krish> the encoding is english
[15:37] <lianimator> krish: View->Character Encoding?
[15:37] <krish> lianimator my encoding is english and this prob occurs in both hardy and ibex

[15:37] <lianimator> jeeez: what are you expecting to happen by pressing alt+tab?
[15:38] <lianimator> jeeez: is it application switcher?
[15:38] <krish> lianimator the particular text tht needs to be displayed is America
[15:38] <lianimator> krish: is it a website? or local file?
[15:38] <jeeez> lianimator: yeah
[15:38] <krish> lianimator it is a wordpress blog
[15:39] <lianimator> jeeez: look in keybindings of application switcher in ccsm
[15:39] <lianimator> jeeez: try the default settings
[15:39] <hugleo> hi
[15:39] <krish> lianimator it is unicode (UTF-8)
[15:39] <fluffywarthog> Having trouble switching ATI drivers (using binary how-to) on x1400 and Hardy
[15:39] <lianimator> krish: online or offline?
[15:39] <hugleo> Are there a very good free linux 3D game to ubuntu?
[15:40] <krish> lianimator it is online
[15:40] <lianimator> krish: link?
[15:40] <lianimator> hugleo: what type specifically?
[15:40] <benthemeek> greetings. I'm running 8.10. Loaded nv propietary drivers through menu and it locked up. Rebooted and now "No screens found". Restored xorg.conf and still no go. Kernel not seeing monitor?
[15:40] <zmf> hi
[15:40] <hugleo> lianimator, any
[15:40] <krish> lianimator http://lifeteaches.wordpress.com/ check out the 2nd line in the first post
[15:41] <lianimator> hugleo: try searching in synaptics
[15:41] <lianimator> hugleo: there are some good FPS games
[15:41] <hugleo> hmm
[15:41] <tmg1|work> benthemeek: if you look at /var/log/{whatever the xorg logfile is} you'll see another error
[15:41] <tmg1|work> which is probably the one saying that your nv drivers failed to load
[15:41] <tmg1|work> and that's the reason you have no screens
[15:41] <fluffywarthog> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI comes up with the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[15:41] <fluffywarthog> sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko", but it only returns the message "error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko':  -1 File Exists"
[15:41] <hugleo> lianimator, are there any  recommendations?
[15:42] <benthemeek> I will check it out thanks
[15:42] <lianimator> hugleo: since I don't play games that much.. I have no recommendations
[15:42] <hugleo> ok
[15:42] <lianimator> hugleo: try googling top linux games
[15:42] <hugleo> ok
[15:42] <lianimator> hugleo: 3d or fps, something like that
[15:42] <hugleo> lianimator, ;-)
[15:42] <hugleo> thks
[15:43] <benthemeek> tmg1: Is there a way to tell it to just go to the working xoncifguration it had when i installed it the first time
[15:43] <jeannot106> hi
[15:43] <tmg1|work> krish: what text
[15:43] <jeannot106> i've just installed ubuntu, but I want to know some things :) (about sound)
[15:43] <krish> tmg1|work the actual text is america
[15:43] <jeeez> lianimator: fixed!
[15:43] <tmg1|work> krish: what format is the text in? ie unicode? regular ascii?
[15:43] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, btw, actually, the source of that post was from the nvidia driver readme: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/177.82/README/chapter-14.html
[15:44] <tmg1|work> jeannot106: like what
[15:44] <onetinsoldier> hugleo: a very old but good single player game is Ur-Quan Masters(uqm), original name was Star Control
[15:44] <chadeldridge> is there a way to get ubuntu 8.10 to not store a local Trash folder for external drives or anything in /media?  I just want all delete actions to be immediate
[15:44] <jeannot106> i am trying to install jack (to use rosegarden), but i've some difficults
[15:44] <hugleo> onetinsoldier, ;-)
[15:44] <krish> tmg1|work: mine is Unicode UTF-8
[15:44] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: srry yes, you can run OpenGL in Xinerama (I have screenies of OpenGL games across all 3 monitors). I mean no compositing across all 3
[15:45] <onetinsoldier> :)
[15:45] <lianimator> krish: that is weird. should be "In America". the first gibberish words of that sentence
[15:45] <tmg1|work> benthemeek: probably by putting in the xorg.conf you had when you installed the first time into the place of your currently installed xorg.conf
[15:45] <lianimator> krish: if you copy and paste, you'll see
[15:45] <tmg1|work> man xorg.conf might bring more up on that one
[15:45] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, well i will simply test it and see if it works or not
[15:45] <lianimator> krish: other browsers have no problem, you say?
[15:45] <benthemeek> tried that
[15:45] <tmg1|work> jeannot106: difficulties like what(disclaimer; i've never gotten rosegarden/jack to work :/ )
[15:45] <jeannot106> tmg1|work: I need jack to use rosegarden, i've installed jackd, but i've ever an error
[15:45] <phloww> hey there i got a rly nasty problem on hardy server running xen3.2 in Dom-0. anyone can help me ?
[15:45] <krish> lianimator: yes other browsers dont have problem also firefox in windows is showing it fine
[15:46] <fluffywarthog> Tried to switch ATI drivers, but this is what I got:
[15:46] <fluffywarthog> mike@mike-laptop:~$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko
[15:46] <fluffywarthog> insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': -1 File exists
[15:46] <tmg1|work> jeannot106: and what happens when you try to install it?
[15:46] <tmg1|work> jack I mean
[15:47] <jeannot106> rosegarden says that jack isn't installed
[15:47] <tmg1|work> what happens when you try to install jack
[15:47] <jeannot106> it works
[15:47] <tmg1|work> also sometimes you have to explicitly run jack
[15:47] <tmg1|work> so try running jack and then running rosegarden
[15:47] <jeannot106> yes, maybe, but how ?
[15:47] <fluffywarthog> Anyone able to help me with these drivers?
[15:47] <lianimator> krish: turning off CSS shows up fine
[15:48] <krish> lianimator how is tht?
[15:48] <tmg1|work> holdon I'll install jack..
[15:48] <onetinsoldier> fluffywarthog: what version of ATI drivers did you try switching to and what version of kernel is this happening with? how did you install the flgrx driver? i think i should say here that the fglrx driver can be pretty picky about what kernel it works with
[15:50] <krish> lianimator: how to turn CSS off
[15:50] <Guest23264> hi
[15:50] <fluffywarthog> onetinsoldier: The ATI drivers I'm currently using are the ones suggested by the gui. I'm using 2.6.24-22generic kernel, and I've been messing with these drivers for a while and forgot exactly which method I used to install flgrx
[15:50] <phloww> hey there i got a rly nasty problem on hardy server running xen3.2 in Dom-0. server crashes when i do lots of I/O on my disks. there is nothing in syslog, nothing on screen. server just crashes. works fine if not bootet in dom-0 without xen
[15:51] <onetinsoldier> fluffywarthog: have you tried using the 'modprobe' command instead of insmod?
[15:51] <jeannot106> in fact, I don't know how run jack, with what command ?
[15:51] <Kevin__> hi...all
[15:51] <Kevin__> jjj
[15:51] <jeannot106> which*
[15:51] <Kevin__> fg

[15:53] <ActionParsnip> Guest23264: does it stop with any particular softwrae or activity or is it random?
[15:53] <tmg1|work> jackd -d {driver, probably 'alsa'}
[15:53] <Jampiter> I installed Ubuntu through WUBI on a Viista computer. I uninstalled it but I haven't got the disk space which it took up back. How do I get it back?

[15:54] <ActionParsnip> Guest23264: are you fully up to date? You could try a memory scan and an fsck
[15:54] <Kevin__> scim
[15:54] <Jampiter> !ubottu cn
[15:54] <stdin> !cn
[15:54] <tmg1|work> Guest23264: I'll second the memory scan
[15:54] <Guest23264> no its suddenly shutsdown with no messages
[15:55] <sluimers> I have a small problem, I would like my keyboard to immediately type the symbol ' when I type that character
[15:55] <sluimers> instead my keyboard waits for another character so that it can type éáóú and stuff
[15:55] <tmg1|work> Guest23264: are you sure you're not running out of battery?
[15:55] <Guest23264> Actionparsnip iam up to date

[15:56] <NoiseEee> highjacker, just about anything?
[15:56] <tmg1|work> HighJacker: not broadcom.
[15:56] <tmg1|work> that's for sure
[15:56] <Jampiter> ANyone?
[15:56] <Jampiter> Anyone even?
[15:56] <tmg1|work> jeannot106: you got that?
[15:56] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, xrandr1.3 could also get interesting for us, as it will support multi-gpu :)
[15:56] <mirko_> hello everybody. i'd like to tell you about a petition to take itunes on ubuntu. here's the link, hope you'll sign!  http://www.petitiononline.com/eb221998/
[15:57] <slango> is there a known issue when doing a dist-upgrade on Ubuntu Server 8.04 right now?
[15:57] <tmg1|work> Jampiter: i had that happen to me with vista too
[15:57] <tmg1|work> to get the disk space back, assuming you've uninstalled WUBI, you merely need to delete the ubuntu file
[15:57] <Jampiter> Where is it?
[15:57] <tmg1|work> it'll be in like c:\WUBI or C:\program files\WUBI or something
[15:57] <joaopinto> slango, you mean using the do-release-upgrade script right ?
[15:57] <tmg1|work> it's right out in the open
[15:57] <tmg1|work> it's just one file
[15:57] <tmg1|work> iirc
[15:57] <slango> the "Setting up module-init-tools..." is taking forever?
[15:57] <FloodBot3> tmg1|work: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:57] <tmg1|work> make sure you've uninstalled first
[15:57] <joaopinto> or just upgrading the current packages ?
[15:57] <EmoAngel> hi, all
[15:57] <HighJacker> NoiseEee, tmg1|work my old one, a fritz wlan stick still not run
[15:57] <tmg1|work> FloodBot3: flood? wtf
[15:57] <slango> joaopinto, I did apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:57] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: that would be nice
[15:58] <HighJacker> Im trying for weeks
[15:58] <joaopinto> slango, do you want to upgrade to a newer distro version ?
[15:58] <Jampiter> tmg1|work: I can't find it
[15:58] <tmg1|work> hm I've got wubi running on this box
[15:58] <slango> joaopinto, I don't particularly care to
[15:58] <tmg1|work> I'll find it on this one
[15:58] <Jampiter> Ok
[15:58] <joaopinto> slango, ok, so you just need to apt-get upgrade, apt-get distupgrade
[15:58] <slango> all I'm trying to do is follow some instructions from a co-worker
[15:59] <slango> joaopinto, right... but dist-upgrade is taking forever
[15:59] <nvictor> hello
[15:59] <nvictor> I have a question
[15:59] <joaopinto> slango, downloading packages ?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> !ask | nvictor
[15:59] <slango> it's been stuck on "Setting up module-init-tools..." for about 30 minutes now
[15:59] <dedeole> !list
[15:59] <Kevin__> hi
[15:59] <joaopinto> slango, ah :\
[15:59] <nvictor> I want to design interface, where do I start?
[16:00] <HighJacker> Anyone using a wlan stick in his ubuntu without any problems?
[16:00] <aminh> is anyone running 7.04 right now?
[16:00] <jrib> !feisty | aminh
[16:00] <lianimator> HighJacker: wifi, yes
[16:00] <iGama> Hy all, does any one know about a bug in Intrepid with a wireless Broadcom BCM4311 , freezing the system?
[16:01] <HighJacker> lianimator, what kind of model is it?
[16:01] <lianimator> krish: I have firefox web developer plugin. you can use Clrl+Shift+S
[16:01] <aminh> jrib: so since its reached its end of life, are the main repositories that is my sources out of date?
[16:01] <lianimator> HighJacker: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[16:01] <aminh> jrib: i can't even run apt-get update
[16:01] <jrib> aminh: it means there are no more security updates for it, so you need to upgrade.  And yes, archive.ubuntu.com doesn't carry the feisty repositories anymore
[16:02] <aminh> jrib: does any place carry feisty?
[16:02] <aminh> jrib: does any place carry feisty?
[16:02] <jrib> aminh: you can use old-releases.ubuntu.com to make sure you are up to date.  And then you *need* to upgrade
[16:02] <jrib> !upgrade > aminh
[16:02] <aminh> jrib: k
[16:02] <HighJacker> lianimator, did you have to install it in any way?
[16:03] <lianimator> HighJacker: none at all
[16:03] <HighJacker> lianimator, ok, thank you
[16:04] <onetinsoldier> slango: are you still letting it sit there? i'd kill it if i were you
[16:04] <lianimator> HighJacker: in older versions of Ubuntu, I see it in the restricted drivers. but not now.
[16:04] <tmg1|work> okay who was it again that was looking for that WUBI file?
[16:04] <tmg1|work> it's in C:\ubuntu
[16:05] <tmg1|work> after you uninstall wubi you'll probably want c:\ubuntu to be completely gone, subdirectories and all
[16:05] <tmg1|work> there may be other stuff to delete too(i saw some wubi stuff in c:\) but chances are what you're looking for is in c:\ubuntu
[16:05] <tmg1|work> is it?
[16:05] <slango> onetinsoldier, yeah?
[16:05] <tmg1|work> if it isn't I have a vista/ubuntu box that I can get to later tonight
[16:06] <onetinsoldier> slango: yeah.. Ctrl-C out of it
[16:06] <slango> same thing is happening with procps
[16:06] <tmg1|work> you still there?
[16:06] <slango> and "Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/ufw .."
[16:06] <onetinsoldier> slango: no error messages?
[16:06] <slango> nope
[16:07] <slango> at the end it says "Errors were encountered while processing..." and lists those steps
[16:07] <slango> and adds initramfs-tools
[16:07] <onetinsoldier> slango: ok, find out the current package state..  dpkg -l module-init-tools
[16:07] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETIhy3TqxG4
[16:07] <DASPRiD> mkay :x
[16:08] <onetinsoldier> slango: first 2 chars show the package state

[16:09] <MrOtacon> hello - can anyone help me please... i am pretty stuck - my x crashes as soon as i boot, i end up in text mode only. I am stuck in sirc at the moment - so not very easy for me to try stuff... I dont know what happened to X - i run gnome
[16:09] <slango> I should mention that this system is from an AMI running on an Amazon EC2 instance
[16:10] <slango> onetinsoldier, what does iF mean?
[16:10] <scoremeformusic> can anyone help me assign an ip address to my computer?
[16:10] <MrOtacon> i tried recovery mode and repair packages
[16:10] <Beyonder> Good day. My MBR was changed by Windows, how do I restore it?
[16:10] <Beyonder> to grub
[16:10] <onetinsoldier> slango: there are worse package states.. i think it just means it has Failed to install
[16:10] <tmg1|work> MrOtacon: did you upgrade xorg before this happened?
[16:10] <SlimeyPete> !grub
[16:10] <tmg1|work> usually that can cause that
[16:10] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, looks like you need xserver-xgl for that
[16:11] <Beyonder> SlimeyPete: ty
[16:11] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: whoa. i will have to give that a closer look.
[16:11] <DASPRiD> yeah
[16:11] <phloww> hey there i got a rly nasty problem on hardy server running xen3.2 in Dom-0. server crashes when i do lots of I/O on my disks. there is nothing in syslog, nothing on screen. server just crashes. works fine if not bootet in dom-0 without xen
[16:11] <NoiseEee> should i avoid installing things by source
[16:11] <MrOtacon> tmpg1|work no - i installed xmms, to listen to some music - it stalled when i exitted so i ctrl alt backspaced and rebooted
[16:11] <NoiseEee> if i've been using apt-get
[16:11] <Jampiter> Any luck tmg1|work?
[16:12] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: 1 guess what i will be working on this weekend :)
[16:12] <slango> onetinsoldier, well, I'm not ultra concerned with that
[16:12] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, hehe yeah same here :D
[16:12] <NoiseEee> i'd like to get the latest/greatest imagemagick, but apt-get is several versions behind
[16:12] <slango> onetinsoldier, I'm more concerned with why installing apache and PHP is trying to install X11 too
[16:12] <scoremeformusic> can anyone help me assign an ip address
[16:12] <onetinsoldier> slango: do you have this package in  /var/cache/apt/archives?
[16:12] <slango> x11-common is locking up the same way
[16:13] <jrib> NoiseEee: then you would have to compile it
[16:13] <c0re_> slango, install lamp
[16:13] <slango> onetinsoldier, yes I do
[16:13] <onetinsoldier> slango: dpkg(the package handler) will not budge until that 'F' is fixed
[16:13] <MrOtacon> after recovery and proceeding with normal boot i get - > networkmanager failed and then gnome failed - hence... i am here :D
[16:13] <c0re_> !lamp | slango
[16:13] <DASPRiD> ushimitsudoki, i will send you my results when i'm done ;)
[16:13] <Ultimus> does anyone know how to wipe files in ubuntu's nautilus
[16:13] <jeeez> hi, i enabled 'wobbly windows' in ccsm, but nothing happens! how do i make it work?
[16:14] <jrib> Ultimus: define "wipe"
[16:14] <ushimitsudoki> DASPRiD: please do. i will do the same. let me PM you my Gtalk.
[16:14] <Jampiter> jeeez: What graphics card do you have?
[16:14] <slango> c0re_, I'm setting up a system for benchmarking, and I am trying to reproduce very specific instructions that have worked with this AMI before
[16:14] <DRebellion> Ultimus, i would suggest you install the package 'wipe'.
[16:14] <Ultimus> remove totally with no recovery possible
[16:14] <onetinsoldier> slango: ok, while in /var/cache/apt/archives try to install it with dpkg,  dpkg -i module-init-tools-<version>
[16:14] <jeeez> Jampiter: nvidia 8500GT
[16:14] <DRebellion> Ultimus, it is not integrated with nautilus, but a commnand line program.
[16:14] <onetinsoldier> slango: tell me what errors you get
[16:14] <jrib> jeeez: select "custom" in the "visual effects" tab of Appearance Properties
[16:14] <Jampiter> jeeez: Got the nVidia drivers?
[16:14] <c0re_> jeeez, is other effects working as well?
[16:15] <jeeez> no nothing works :(
[16:15] <jrib> Ultimus: that's not really possible on ext3
[16:15] <scoremeformusic> when people type /etc in a command, is that literal? It won't work in the terminal for me.
[16:15] <NoiseEee> jrib: i can give that a shot i think.  will it install a new version alongside the current one, or?
[16:15] <MrOtacon> is there a way i can reset ubuntu to how it was when i first installed?
[16:15] <jeeez> yeah, i download the drivers from the nVidia site and ran the *.run file
[16:15] <c0re_> jeeez, and its installed?
[16:15] <c0re_> .
[16:15] <jrib> NoiseEee: depends what you do.  If you install to /usr/local/ (as you should), then yes you'll have a new version alongside the other one
[16:15] <jeeez> how do i check if its installed??
[16:16] <Ultimus> jrib: hmm, so you have to wipe the whole partition?
[16:16] <NoiseEee> jrib, thanks for the help
[16:16] <slango> module-init-tools and the other things it was failing on don't seem like things I need... I don't think I can even restart the instance without killing it...
[16:16] <tomek> hi. I cannot see a shared directory on an XP box from my Ubuntu machine. What could be the reason of that?
[16:16] <DRebellion> Ultimus, the best way to get rid of data is to wipe a whole partition, or even the whole drive.
[16:16] <c0re_> jeez open up a terminal then type gfxgears
[16:16] <MrOtacon> i did ctrl alt backspace then reboot -f and now my x wont work
[16:16] <c0re_> tomek, did you configured samba?
[16:17] <MrOtacon> it crashes to terminal as it boots
[16:17] <MrOtacon> and i get terminal login
[16:17] <jeeez> command not found! [after i enabled Custom in appearance, alt+tab wont work!]
[16:17] <Ultimus> I'm just wondering why the do people write blogs about wiping files in nautilus
[16:17] <c0re_> lmao
[16:17] <MrOtacon> dont know what to do - am stuck in text mode sirc atm
[16:17] <jrib> Ultimus: try looking at 'man wipe' and 'man shred'.  One of them discusses this
[16:17] <MrOtacon> i dont have a live cd
[16:17] <Jampiter> Does anyone know how I can get my drive space back?
[16:17] <MrOtacon> i installed ubuntu remotely
[16:17] <NoiseEee> ask politely?
[16:17] <NoiseEee> sorry couldn't resist
[16:17] <jrib> Jampiter: can you give more details?
[16:18] <tomek> c0re_: not really => I just use network browser in a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10 => can see the XP machine, but cannot see the directory on it.
[16:18] <Blaze_Boy> URGENT: if i replaced my 2.4 intel celeron processor with 2.4 intel Pentium processor will i have to reinstall my UBUNTU BOX?
[16:18] <jrib> Blaze_Boy: you should be fine
[16:18] <onetinsoldier> slango: you might think you don't need module-init-tools, but i think you will end finding out that you do. i can look at aptitude and see how it classifies that package though, but i'm thinking it either classified as 'essential' or 'important'.
[16:18] <jeeez> hey, alt tab works! had to enable it
[16:18] <Ultimus> jrib, no manual entry for wipe
[16:18] <c0re_> jeeez, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[16:18] <MrOtacon> will removing all gdms - then reinstalling ubuntudesktop work?
[16:18] <jrib> Ultimus: install it :)
[16:19] <Blaze_Boy> jrib: won't it operate ?if i didn't reinstall it?
[16:19] <Ultimus> you mean via add/remove?
[16:19] <scoremeformusic> can someone please just type in a simple expl for me. what does /etc in a command line mean? do I type that in as well or is it referring to something else?
[16:19] <c0re_> tomek, see howtos on ubuntuforums.org
[16:19] <Blaze_Boy> jrib: ok , i got it
[16:19] <Blaze_Boy> jrib: thanx
[16:19] <Jampiter> jrib: I installed Wubi on this Viista computer. I removed it after there were incompatiabilities. However, I haven't got the disk space it was in back, and I can't find any of it's files. Any ideas?
[16:19] <jrib> !who | jeeez
[16:19] <MrOtacon> scoremeformusic - it reffers to the etc folder located in / (root filesystem) its just a path
[16:20] <jrib> Jampiter: try ##windows or ask the wubi forums
[16:20] <MrOtacon> eg... /etc/X11/ means the X11 folder located in the etc folder
[16:20] <[c0re]> .
[16:20] <scoremeformusic> oh thanks!
[16:20] <Jampiter> jrib: ok
[16:20] <MrOtacon> no worries :)
[16:20] <jeeez> all-my-dear-helpers: thanks, it works now!
[16:20] <[c0re]> lol
[16:20] <tomek> c0re_: ok thans
[16:20] <scoremeformusic> could you help me assign an ip address? I've royally fd up my configuration
[16:21] <[c0re]> no prob tomek
[16:21] <onetinsoldier> slango: if you try to get rid of module-init-tools i think you will find that you have started a chain reaction of dpkg complaining about a ton of other packages that depend on it
[16:21] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, what wrong with it?
[16:21] <Ultimus> jrib: how do I install wipe, via add/remove?
[16:21] <jrib> Ultimus: sure
[16:22] <[c0re]> lalalalalalalala
[16:22] <Ultimus> jrib: I cant find it
[16:22] <[c0re]> what is wipe?
[16:22] <onetinsoldier> slango: it's best if you just get it fixed up and installed, it may take a bit, but it can probably be fixed(installed properly)
[16:22] <jrib> Ultimus: sudo apt-get install wipe
[16:22] <[c0re]> !info wipe
[16:22] <scoremeformusic> (core): I can't log into my router, I changed my settings last night trying to set up wireless (which I also need help with...)
[16:23] <scoremeformusic> I can use pastebin if you like?
[16:23] <slango> onetinsoldier, right... but I'm not sure if doing the dist-upgrade is worth it for a system that only exists for a few hours at a time
[16:23] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, ofcourse. you must use pastebin
[16:24] <Ultimus> jrib: thanks. Do you know the command to enter the configuration in nautilus
[16:24] <scoremeformusic> em...okay how do I use that then? and paste ifconfig?
[16:24] <scoremeformusic> (core): sorry, im the boob of noobs
[16:24] <onetinsoldier> slango: perhaps not. of course, i'm curious, why does this system only exist for a few hours at a time? you mean you only have it running for a few hours at a time each day?
[16:24] <scoremeformusic> NOOB NOOB
[16:24] <jrib> Ultimus: it's a terminal command.  It also doesn't do what you want.  Remember?  I said its man page has information you should read (along with the man page for shred)
[16:24] <ceafu> moved thunderbird folder and firefox folder from home on one laptop to home on another. same username. filesystem goes from ext3 to ext2. the files are not being recognized. i did chown.  any ideas?
[16:25] <Ultimus> jrib: ok
[16:25] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, copy text then paste it on the web
[16:25] <slango> onetinsoldier, no... with an EC2 instance, you get billed by the hour
[16:25] <[c0re]> then give us the url
[16:25] <slango> and when you terminate it, the system is wiped completely
[16:25] <slango> it's like a VPS to the extreme
[16:26] <jiffe98> hmm, mysql51 has been out for over a month but it doesn't seem to have made it to the ubuntu repository
[16:26] <jiffe98> at least not according to apt-cache show mysql-server
[16:26] <slango> you can save an image, but that costs even more money
[16:26] <Ultimus> jrib: is there a esc function in ubuntu, for ex. when I want to exit the manual page, or do I have to close the terminal each time
[16:26] <slango> and for my purposes, isn't necessary
[16:26] <scoremeformusic> (core): okay its up
[16:26] <jrib> Ultimus: press q
[16:26] <tmg1|work> Jampiter: c:\ubuntu right?
[16:27] <scoremeformusic> (core): http://pastebin.com/m3741e44d
[16:27] <tmg1|work> scoremeformusic: you figure it out yet?
[16:27] <scoremeformusic> no :(
[16:27] <virl> hi, can you also install ubuntu with a different window manager/desktop than gnome?
[16:27] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, run this command on a terminal sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ifconfig > pastebinit && pastebinit pastebinit && rm pastebinit
[16:27] <Ultimus> jrib: thanks maan, I'm new into this thing so you have to be patient with me
[16:27] <Jampiter> tmg1|work: No such folder :/
[16:27] <scoremeformusic> (tmg1 work: no :(
[16:27] <jrib> Ultimus: sure
[16:27] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, run this command on a terminal "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ifconfig > pastebinit && pastebinit pastebinit && rm pastebinit" without "
[16:27] <onetinsoldier> slango: ok, still not understanding what that means entirely, but i hear you. anyway. at this point, you need to get it fixed, or leave it broken. 'downgrading' isn't really an option at this point. might as finish the dist-upgrade or re-install. downgrading after a dist-upgrade has started rarely ever works out. almost always turns into a re-install
[16:27] <tmg1|work> scoremeformusic: /etc is a directory
[16:27] <jiffe98> I should say it has been labelled as the GA build for over a month, 51 has been around for a long long time
[16:28] <jrib> virl: kubuntu, fluxbuntu, etc... or just install ubuntu and then install your favorite window manager using the package manager.  You will then have a choice of window managers at the login screen by pressing the "options" button
[16:28] <onetinsoldier> slango: might was well finish*
[16:28] <slango> onetinsoldier, but I'm wondering... this system won't ever even be restarted
[16:28] <NoiseEee> jiffe98, yep sucks
[16:28] <slango> I start it up... I use it... I terminate it and it's destroyed
[16:28] <slango> then, next time I use it, I build the whole thing from scratch again
[16:29] <onetinsoldier> slango: i don't know what that means? you mean you don't care about this system or what?
[16:29] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, run this command on a terminal "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ifconfig > pastebinit && pastebinit pastebinit && rm pastebinit" without "
[16:29] <scoremeformusic> tmg1: oh yeah, that, im gonna just concentrate on getting the ip address working forst :) but yeah I understand etc now.
[16:29] <slango> onetinsoldier, pretty much
[16:29] <scoremeformusic> (core): yup im doing it
[16:29] <onetinsoldier> slango: ok, roger
[16:29] <slango> it literally will be totally irrelevant in a few hours when I terminate
[16:29] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, what is wrong with your ifconfig?
[16:30] <onetinsoldier> slango: ok, then we'll let it die
[16:30] <tmg1|work> Ultimus: maybe synaptic might work better than add/remove
[16:30] <slango> onetinsoldier, also, I wouldn't expect module-init-tools to be relevant when I'm not loading or building modules?
[16:30] <slango> is that correct?
[16:30] <jiffe98> who typically takes care of updating packages like that?
[16:30] <scoremeformusic> (core): pastebin's installed, ...what does it do? I thought all I have to is post it on the site
[16:30] <tmg1|work> scoremeformusic: type "cat /etc/network/interfaces" and paste that into #flood
[16:31] <tmg1|work> scoremeformusic: better yet pastebin
[16:31] <onetinsoldier> slango: you would be correct. it's not needed if you're not loading or removing modules
[16:31] <Ultimus> jrib: sorry but what's difference between shred and wipe, which is to prefer, some say you cant wipe files in ext3 so what exactly is this wipe doing? Just wonder...
[16:31] <scoremeformusic> (core): my ifconfig doesn't show the ip address of my router.
[16:31] <scoremeformusic> tmg1: will do.
[16:31] <slango> onetinsoldier, good news
[16:32] <slango> onetinsoldier, now I need to figure out what's the deal with this x11 dependency
[16:32] <tmg1|work> Jampiter: and yet it's still taking up space. Hrmf.  Send me your email address and I'll check what my vista setup is later tonight
[16:32] <scoremeformusic> tmg1 work: no such file/dir
[16:32] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, lmao they wont show your router's ip... RUN: sudo pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[16:33] <tmg1|work> scoremeformusic: is it the wireless or the wired you're having trouble with?
[16:33] <scoremeformusic> (core): no such file/dir
[16:33] <ceafu> hey everyone having a macbook to mini 9 issue.  moved thunderbird folder and firefox folder from home on one laptop to home on another. same username. filesystem goes from ext3 to ext2. the files are not being recognized. i did chown.  any ideas?
[16:33] <tmg1|work> wireless I take it
[16:33] <scoremeformusic> wireless, im on wired atm
[16:34] <capnhector> im looking to change my username on my ubuntu box, which usermod switches do i need to totaly change it
[16:34] <[c0re]> lmao
[16:34] <capnhector> i know -l for login and -u for uuid any thing else
[16:34] <[c0re]> lol @ scoremeformusic. so you dont have a file calld "interfaces"
[16:34] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> route -n  should show your gateway (router) address
[16:35] <scoremeformusic> (core): I typed in the command, it said no such etc, that's all I know.
[16:35] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser:I know the router address, I need to match it to the computers' so I can log into ti
[16:35] <onetinsoldier> slango: you won't be able to solve any dependency problems or do anything with dpkg(apt-get or aptitude) for now
[16:36] <onetinsoldier> slango: well, you can try but i don't think you'll be able to
[16:37] <onetinsoldier> slango: you can let us know how it goes, good luck
[16:37] <graelin> Can anyone give me a quick rundown of what I would need to change to move hard drive positions? I have IDE0 as a Windows disk, and a Ubuntu setup on controller 2 (master and slave). Widows disk is going so I'm replacing with a SATA drive and moving Ubuntu setup to primary IDE controller
[16:37] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> can you elaborate on how your network layout is setup? what is connected to which? how many pc's?
[16:37] <kbrosnan> ceafu: did you move the profiles.ini file, it controls what profiles firefox/thunderbird know about
[16:37] <slango> onetinsoldier, thanks
[16:38] <pratikk> the internet gets disconnect after sometime connecting to internet using sudo pppoeconf in ubuntu 8.04.1
[16:38] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: one pc, cable from modem's ehternet->wan on router, lan port on router to laptop (while im setting it up)
[16:38] <Ultimus> have I got this right: you don't need Firestarter because iptables already works in the background. Firestarter is kind of a display for the iptables?
[16:38] <ceafu> kbrosnan, i did. it was in the thunderbird folder
[16:38] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: is that what you mean?
[16:39] <kbrosnan> ceafu: you need a seperate one for firefox too
[16:39] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> yes, and you are connected via the ethernet now correct?
[16:39] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: yeah,
[16:39] <ceafu> yep did that one too
[16:39] <Bodsda> is my xorg file really ment to be this short? http://pastebin.com/f1f6d1880
[16:40] <ikonia> Bodsda: yup, it's dynamic now
[16:40] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> to find your ip address, you type    ifconfig  and should see the ip address assigned to eth0
[16:40] <bitmouse> can you use apt-get to install .deb packages?
[16:40] <ikonia> bitmouse: no
[16:40] <Bodsda> ikonia, damn, any way i can find my screens vert/horiz sync ranges? im having trouble with arch and its xorg -- damn base install
[16:40] <SlimeyPete> bitmouse: dpkg is the usual way
[16:40] <bitmouse> ikonia: not at all?
[16:40] <ikonia> Bodsda: with arch ?
[16:40] <ikonia> bitmouse: dpkg works though
[16:41] <ikonia> bitmouse: no
[16:41] <Bodsda> ikonia, arch linux
[16:41] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: okay, but how do I change it? (if that's a stupid question, I just mean how do I make the damn thing log into the router :) )
[16:41] <ikonia> Bodsda why are you asking in here then ?
[16:41] <bitmouse> ikonia: thanks
[16:41] <bitmouse> ikonia: !!!
[16:41] <bitmouse> SlimeyPete: Thanks you to!!!
[16:41] <ikonia> bitmouse yes ?
[16:42] <Bodsda> ikonia, because i was trying to see if my ubuntu xorg.conf file had my screen sync ranges, it used to
[16:42] <scoremeformusic> nt8user: (my ip addresses don't match)
[16:42] <ikonia> Bodsda use dccprobe on arch and see what you get
[16:42] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> what do you mean change and what log are you referring to? perhaps first tell me what the ip address you got from using ifconfig command
[16:42] <jiffe98> is there a way of getting the options the current mysql-server was built with?
[16:42] <Bodsda> ikonia, k, cheers will try -- rebooti in a sec
[16:42] <jrib> !source > jiffe98
[16:42] <jrib> jiffe98: read debian/rules in the source package
[16:42] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> does not match what?
[16:42] <tehquickness> The "file menu" bad ontop of my firefox has gone blank. and when I right click anywhere on the firefox window, jsut a very tiny few pixel white cube pops up instead of the right click menu.
[16:42] <tehquickness> Any thoughts?
[16:43] <j_xinudsb> yes, reinstall Firefox
[16:43] <tehquickness> j_xinudsb:  should I purge it first?
[16:44] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> you are chatting with us from same computer you think you have a problem with?
[16:44] <j_xinudsb> make work better but you may lose your bookmarks
[16:44] <tehquickness> j_xinudsb: ok I will give that a go, athen purge if necessary
[16:44] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: ifconfig says my computer ip address is <IP_ADDRESS>, my router address is <IP_ADDRESS>. im using the same computer
[16:45] <j_xinudsb> do netstat -rn
[16:46] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> that is okay, your router may have been configured to let your box as dmz'ed host, ie your box gets your wan ip address of your router
[16:46] <Old_Coyote> I work in the IT department of a school and need to lock the desktop settings such as wallpapers, panels, and menus. I couldn't lock 'em in order to prevent users from changing those settings :-(. Is there a way to do this???
[16:46] <abc1xd> running "smbclient -L UbuntuBox" doesnt work but it works on most other dists. Why doesnt it ? Some of you have even blaimed nautilus for this it seems.
[16:47] <bod_> ikonia: there is no   gccprobe command ?
[16:47] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: o...kay. but I can't log into the router? I rang the edimax helpline, they said to make sure the ip addresses match
[16:48] <nice_burger> fresh distro ibex on linode. trying iptables -L  command not found, trying apt-get install iptables, package not found. help?
[16:48] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> on a browser, type in   http://<IP_ADDRESS>  do you see the config page of your router?
[16:49] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>? the previous is the router
[16:49] <scoremeformusic> not familiar with the second
[16:49] <dinsdale07> hello - do you think it's favourable to rather use a swap file for an ubuntu guest in virtualbox.
[16:49] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> on a browser, type in   http://<IP_ADDRESS>  do you see the config page of your router?  <--corrected
[16:50] <scoremeformusic> n8tuser: it says firefox is in offline mode
[16:50] <abc1xd> Jazz
[16:51] <n8tuser> scoremeformusic-> come on, think a little bit, put it in online mode then!
[16:51] <Moradan> hello, is anybody openbox as a stand-alone window manager
[16:51] <abc1xd> Draggin: Phattening ip :)
[16:51] <Draggin> Evening! Where do I start if I want to remotely connect and administer one computer from my desktop...? LTSP? What exactly is it and where do I install it? Is there anything else I need to install?
[16:51] <chamuscas> people i have a problem removing a program
[16:51] <fosco_> Moradan, me
[16:51] <Draggin> abc1xd... Huh?
