[12:01] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, it's a pity really
[12:01] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:01] <neutrinomass> hawkaloogie: Hm... it's in C, right ?
[12:01] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, that's what it says
[12:02] <kylewp> Has anyone successfully configured a linksys wmp54g wireless card in ubuntu?
[12:02] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, i'm going to check it out tomorrow and poke around, knowing no C ;-)
[12:02] <cybercobra> my desktop installer is stuck after step 3. any advice?
[12:02] <kylewp> mine got stuck once, i just restarted it
[12:02] <tim> anyone know about running a headless ubuntu box and managing it over a serial port? the only doc I have found so far was about sun boxes.
[12:02] <neutrinomass> hawkaloogie: Ok, interesting ;) I'm sort of looking for a project right now, so fixing all gftp crashes might be a good idea. Computer broke down though, so it will be a while :(
[12:03] <kylewp> Has anyone successfully configured a linksys wmp54g wireless card in ubuntu?
[12:03] <hakanw> how do I change the host name ?
[12:03] <cybercobra> kylewp: yeah, i'm rebooting now. just checking if it was something else
[12:03] <lamego> cybercobra, what is the step 3 ? Trying with the alternate CD is always a good option
[12:03] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, if you can put up with my horrible schedule, i'm sure we can help fix these things together
[12:03] <lamego> kylewp, repeating will not help :)
[12:03] <kylewp> cybercobra: make sure you reformat before you start the install again.
[12:04] <kylewp> in the partitioning stage, that is
[12:04] <neutrinomass> hawkaloogie: File reports at launchpad ;) ?
[12:04] <lamego> hakanw, edit /etc/hostname
[12:05] <lamego> and make sure the host is also on /etc/hosts
[12:05] <hakanw> of course :)
[12:05] <hakanw> thanks
[12:05] <alink1000> I have a question.
[12:05] <hakanw> I've learned so much today
[12:05] <hakanw> unix without gui is becoming nicer by the minute
[12:05] <lamego> :)
[12:05] <alink1000> Instead of burning it to a DVD, since I don't have a DVD burner, is there a way that I can burn Ubuntu onto multiple CDs, instead?
[12:05] <tylersmith> Realplayer is not available for AMD 64! What can I use with Dapper as an alternative?
[12:05] <JW> On a system with a ATI Radeon 9100 video card, How can I increase the screen relolution beyond 1024x768 @61Hz?
[12:06] <alink1000> As, my Ubuntu CD should come soon, but I don't feel like waiting.
[12:06] <skavenge> alink1000: dapper is only one cd
[12:06] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, since it'll translate to gnome's upstream, why not
[12:06] <lamego> alink1000, Ubuntu comes on a CD
[12:06] <alink1000> yeah, but I don't wanna wait for it. :P
[12:06] <kylewp> Has anyone gotten a wireless card to work in ubuntu?
[12:06] <alink1000> and it comes in .iso
[12:06] <finalbeta> ofcourse
[12:06] <skavenge> alink1000: you can download the cd iso off ubuntu's website
[12:06] <alink1000> .iso is DVD rom burning
[12:06] <skavenge> .iso is cd and dvd hah
[12:06] <alink1000> CD iso...? I thought it was DVD iso.
[12:06] <alink1000> :S
[12:06] <lamego> alink1000, not it is not, iso is an image, it can be CD or DVD
[12:06] <alink1000> oh
[12:07] <alink1000> but I tried to burn it, and it didn't work
[12:07] <alink1000> and I booted it up, and it didn't boot up the installation. :S
[12:07] <hakanw> lamego: is <IP_ADDRESS>   hostname
[12:07] <hakanw> lamego: ok?
[12:07] <lamego> download from the official site and make sure the media is fine
[12:07] <hakanw> lamego: or do I have to have the second word also after hostname
[12:07] <lamego> hakanw, yes
[12:07] <skavenge> user error, it definitely works that way .. burn slow and check the md5 sum
[12:07] <kylewp> Has anyone gotten a wireless card to work in ubuntu 6.06?
[12:07] <lamego> the short hostname is ok
[12:07] <alink1000> I tried burning to a CD from the .iso, then I tried to burn the single files and folders in there.
[12:07] <hakanw> because I had two words there, slightly different
[12:07] <hakanw> ok
[12:08] <alink1000> neither worked
[12:08] <finalbeta> kylewp, I've gotten a WPC54G card to work, but only in B mode :/
[12:08] <alink1000> but I guess I can try again
[12:08] <J_P> hey all, I think I find a bug in ubuntu dapper : I try in /usr/src do this : tar -xvf <TAB> <TAB>. the first <TAB> complete line with this : root@concord:/usr/src# tar -xvf linux-source-2.6.15.tar, but second <TAB> not show nothing and congeals the terminal, but in anoteher temirnal i was running top and I see that first terminal where I set two times <TAB> using 99% of cpu. and machine was reaaly very slowest. That is a bug ?
[12:08] <lamego> kylewp, I did and a lot of other people
[12:08] <alink1000> I'll tell if it doesn't work.
[12:08] <alink1000> brb
[12:08] <kylewp> finalbeta: did you use ndiswrapper?
[12:08] <finalbeta> noah, it's using a BCM or something chipset, that one is supported
[12:09] <J_P> after 35 seconds second <TAB> show root@concord:/usr/src# tar -xvf linux-source-2.6.15.tar  linux-source-2.6.15/
[12:09] <hakanw> er
[12:09] <hakanw> lamego: sudo: unable to lookup c213-89-56-98 via gethostbyname()
[12:09] <hakanw> :/
[12:09] <kylewp> finalbeta: so it worked right out of the box?
[12:09] <tim> anyone know about running a headless ubuntu box and managing it over a serial port? the only doc I have found so far was about sun boxes.
[12:09] <finalbeta> kylewp, hell no
[12:09] <hakanw> (that's what I removed, to change to my custom name)
[12:09] <finalbeta> kylewp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[12:09] <hakanw> crap
[12:09] <lamego> hakanw, did you removed entries from /etc/hosts ?
[12:09] <hakanw> I can't use sudo now
[12:09] <kylewp> finalbeta: thanks
[12:09] <finalbeta> kylewp, for others you use NDISWrapper, but it should work.
[12:09] <lamego> did you added c213-89-56-98 to /etc/hosts ?
[12:09] <Insomnia2> hi i have a problem with x booting
[12:10] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[12:10] <lamego> hakanw, boot from the cd use the recovery mode and you can fix it
[12:10] <hakanw> lamego: I thought that was just a symbolic name, so changed it to <IP_ADDRESS> foobar
[12:10] <Insomnia2> i looked in the log but I dont know how to decipher it
[12:10] <hakanw> whereas it was <IP_ADDRESS> c213.. 213.. before
[12:10] <kylewp> finalbeta: is this some sort of a reversed engineered driver?
[12:10] <void^> J_P: it's bash completion trying to figure out what further tar options might be reasonable, extracting the tar.gz in the process
[12:10] <kylewp> finalbeta: i know linksys doesn't do crap to help ppl using linux
[12:10] <lamego> hakanw, grrr, I said to add it, not to change the other hone :P
[12:10] <hakanw> lamego: damn, I only have access remotely atm :/
[12:10] <lamego> one
[12:10] <lamego> hakanw, have you changed the /etc/hostname on the firstplace ?
[12:11] <hakanw> lamego: yes
[12:11] <Insomnia2> some thing that concerns me are "ADUIT: timestamp 4288 X: client 1 rejected from local host"
[12:11] <Insomnia2> i'm assumign thats bad but can anyone help me out?
[12:11] <lamego> but well, if you didn't add the entry on hosts as expected I guess you can't do much right now
[12:11] <xcham_> anyone have experience setting up nvidia drivers on amd64?
[12:12] <hakanw> lamego: why does sudo need network access anyway ?
[12:12] <neutrinomass> J_P: Does it happen consistently? It could have happened just for a moment because of other I/O going on ...
[12:12] <mirak> why webmin doesn't exist in ubuntu ?
[12:12] <mirak> is it normal that recovery mode isn't protected by a password ?
[12:12] <lamego> hakanw, he doesn't, thats just a security rule
[12:12] <digital_> I need help burning double layer dvd's on Dapper
[12:12] <hakanw> lamego: hm, ok
[12:12] <Seveas> mirak, because webmin is unsafe, unmaintained in debian and plain icky
[12:13] <Seveas> mirak, and yes, that is normal unless you set a root password
[12:13] <mirak> Seveas: it was usefull to do some stuffs
[12:13] <hakanw> lamego: so you saw my output now (that I mangled the second line in /etc/hosts) ... no way to fix it without physical access to the server?
[12:13] <Seveas> ompaul is going bananas!
[12:13] <J_P> void^: this ocurred only with user jpsuser. User jpsuser is one user with root userid and gid : root@concord:~# cat /etc/passwd | grep -i jpsuser
[12:13] <J_P> jpsuser:x:0:0:,,,:/home/jpsuser:/bin/bash.
[12:13] <J_P> Using normal root user: sudo -i this problem I don't have!
[12:13] <mirak> Seveas: I mean from grub nothing prevent to boot in single user
[12:13] <ompaul> J_P, don't paste, thanks
[12:13] <gnomefreak> lol
[12:13] <Lisoe> hi
[12:13] <Seveas> mirak, correct
[12:13] <JW> How much RAM does Ubuntu want to run without memory swap?
[12:13] <lamego> J_P, the bash file completion is such an old code that I dont believe it is buggy, I guess there is some other problem during the file listing on your system
[12:14] <digital_> Seveas: what's this about webmin not beeing safe?
[12:14] <Seveas> if you set a root password it will be asked, otherwise not
[12:14] <Seveas> digital_, can...open...worms...everywhere...
[12:14] <lamego> JW, is always a good practice to use swap memory
[12:14] <digital_> Seaveas: What? I have know idea what you are talking about.
[12:14] <Lisoe> i want to give a windows-machine read- and write-access to a folder on my linux-box. how can i do that?
[12:14] <Bassetts> how can i encrypt a file and password protect a folder
[12:15] <J_P> lamego: did you look my last message to void^ ? look please.. I'm not using real root user ..
[12:15] <lamego> digital_, if you know what he is talking about, that means you are not a candidate to use webmin at all :)
[12:15] <digital_> Seaveas: I use Webmin and have never had any problems with it. Well, docuentation may be lacking for modules but that's abou tit
[12:15] <digital_> it
[12:15] <void^> J_P: i can reproduce the behaviour with any user and any (large) tar.gz file.
[12:15] <reemusk> anyone want to follow up with me? mwe was helping me with an issue with my connection
[12:15] <Seveas> digital_, it has quite a lot of security 'issues'
[12:15] <digital_> Seveas: Like what?
[12:16] <xcham_> anyone? Nvidia drivers on amd64?
[12:16] <Seveas> like leaky modules
[12:16] <xcham_> running glxgears just gets me
[12:16] <xcham_> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:16] <xcham_> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[12:16] <J_P> void^: so, how I resolv this ?
[12:17] <mukund> Bassetts: you can use gpg for encrypting files
[12:17] <Bassetts> !encryption
[12:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about encryption
[12:17] <Bassetts> ooh, thanks mukund
[12:17] <kalosaurusrex> !pgp
[12:17] <mukund> man gpg
[12:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about pgp
[12:17] <Bassetts> how about passwording folders
[12:17] <digital_> Seveas: Well, I'm not a programmer so I don't know anything about leaky modules? What I do know is that webmin has saved me more then once. If there is a security issue then only allow connections from you internal netwrok
[12:17] <kalosaurusrex> !gpg
[12:17] <ubotu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[12:17] <digital_> or localhost
[12:17] <kalosaurusrex> so close
[12:17] <void^> J_P: don't use tab when inappropriate, or disable bash_completion, or modify bash_completion to not work with tar.
[12:17] <JW> lamego, I defined swap memory,  If the system doesn't use it should run faster, Yes?  How much RAM for Ubuntu to minimize Swaping?
[12:17] <ompaul> digital_, is it over https?
[12:17] <mukund> man this channel is too bus
[12:17] <mukund> y
[12:17] <digital_> ompaul: Sure
[12:18] <mukund> is there an ubuntu developers channel?
[12:18] <mirak> Seveas: the password is asked when booting to safe mode ???
[12:18] <digital_> ompaul: but you have to turn that on most of the time
[12:18] <lamego> JW, drecreasing the swap size does not minimize swaping, Linux only uses swap memory when it needs,
[12:18] <mirak> mirak: ho you mean in grub probably
[12:18] <ompaul> digital_, let me put this another way, we can discuss webmin in #ubuntu-oftopic it is not a direct support issue so lets leave it out
[12:18] <digital_> ok
[12:18] <reemusk> anyone want to follow up with me? mwe was helping me with an issue with my connection
[12:18] <ompaul> digital_, I want to answer a few questions :-)
[12:19] <J_P> void^: but with root user this not ocurred, so I would like know how root user can do two times TAB without problems and copy this config to anothers users.. understand ?
[12:19] <skavenge> anyway to turn off all the movie info in gxine when playing in a window? (the bitrate, name of file, time left, etc)
[12:19] <ompaul> mukund, please ask your question, if it is developer based we will point you to the correct forum to take it up
[12:19] <Subhuman> hey, does anyone know how to reverse stereo in ubuntu?
[12:19] <ompaul> mukund, if we have an answer you get it
[12:19] <mukund> ompaul: no i want to join a developer channel
[12:19] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[12:19] <Lisoe> i want to give a windows-machine read- and write-access to a folder on my linux-box. how can i do that?
[12:19] <mukund> that's my question.. what is the developer channel so i can join it
[12:19] <digital_> ompaul: maybe you can answer my question
[12:20] <ompaul> mukund, then you start by joining #ubuntu-motu
[12:20] <mukund> thanks
[12:20] <void^> J_P: which config files are run depends on how the shell is started, and what files are present in a user's home directory
[12:20] <Hakker> does anyone might have an Epia EN15000 and Ubuntu running besides me?
[12:21] <digital_> How do I get double layer DVD support in ubuntu dapper? I need the 6.1 version of dvd+rw-tools
[12:21] <ompaul> !timetable
[12:21] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more.
[12:22] <JW> lamego, Why does my Ubuntu system runs slower than under Mandriva?  Why is the screen reslolution lower also?
[12:22] <johlin> why do I get this error? configure.in:61: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
[12:22] <johlin>       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
[12:22] <johlin>       See the Autoconf documentation.
[12:22] <chaos_of_apocaly> can anyone help me??i have a service called bootpc listening on port udp 68 and i would like to remove it....
[12:22] <ompaul> digital_, read that page that ubotu put up, and then /msg ubotu compiling
[12:22] <J_P> void^: diference between jp user and root is that in jp user I do sudo -i to be root. and using root user I'm don't have problem!
[12:22] <ompaul> johlin, what are you trying to compile
[12:22] <lamego> !resolution
[12:22] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:22] <J_P> void^: so I would like works in normal user as in root..
[12:23] <MalMen> how to can i setting up my second monitor ?
[12:23] <nofear> hola :D
[12:23] <johlin> ompaul: code::blocks
[12:23] <MalMen> i am using ati mobile radeon 9700
[12:23] <lamego> JW, about the performance in general If your system is hw limited maybe xubuntu is a better option,
[12:23] <chaos_of_apocaly> i have a service called bootpc listening on port udp 68.can anyone tell me hoe to disable it?
[12:24] <void^> J_P: err, i don't see enough of a problem to bother with figuring out exactly what causes the difference in behaviour now. i'm just saying bash completion is the cause, and how to fix it is up to a bunch of man pages and config files
[12:24] <digital_> ubotu: I looked at the page. Now how do I compile dvd+rw-tools 6.1 for dapper
[12:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about I looked at the page. Now how do I compile dvd+rw-tools 6.1 for dapper
[12:24] <Subhuman> digital_, ubotu is a bot XD
[12:24] <reemusk> okay...i'm getting <IP_ADDRESS> when i run sudo dhclient eth0  and then i'm getting "no dhcpoffers recieved" and no working leases in persistent database....what can I do? I can't connect with my external modem
[12:24] <skavenge> ubotu is a bot buddy
[12:25] <skavenge> !ping
[12:25] <ubotu> pong
[12:25] <skavenge> ;)
[12:25] <JW> lamego, Is 2.4 GHz dual processor with 1GB ram hardware limited?
[12:25] <digital_> Subhuman: Thanks for the info :-)
[12:25] <Subhuman> JW, no
[12:25] <digital_> ubotu: compiling
[12:25] <J_P> void^: but why this problem don't have with root user ?
[12:25] <Subhuman> JW, ive had ubuntu working on a 800mhz 256mb setup.
[12:25] <ashzilla> Seveas, do you know much about VMware?
[12:25] <Subhuman> digital_, what are you trying to do?
[12:25] <Consty> dang, openoffice database doesn't support microsoft mdb?
[12:25] <skavenge> !compiling > digital_
[12:25] <johlin> !ping > skavenge
[12:25] <void^> J_P: because a shell behaves differently when called differently and with different user directories.
[12:26] <ompaul> johlin, Install the development package for wxGTK (usually called wxGTK-devel). This will install the missing wxwin.m4 file. (at least that is what I found when I researched it) so I suggest you add universe and that and then do apt-cache search wxgtk -- or use a native ide
[12:26] <digital_> subhuman: I'm trying to burn a double layer DVD in Dapper
[12:26] <Subhuman> digital_, if you want to compile you need the package "build-essential"
[12:26] <Seveas> ashzilla, I know it works fine on my system
[12:26] <Subhuman> digital_, in what app?
[12:26] <lamego> JW, no, I have a much older equipment and I dont have any performance issuess, that means you will need to identify where is the performance problem on your system
[12:26] <digital_> subhuman: In any app
[12:27] <J_P> void^: what config I need do to have equal config in normal user as in root user ?
[12:27] <JW> lamego, How?
[12:27] <ashzilla> Seveas, could you recommend me to a guide or HowTo on how to share Linux files across a Windows VMserver installation?
[12:27] <Subhuman> digital_, have you tried k3b?
[12:27] <digital_> subhuman: I did some searching and found that i need dvd+rw-tools 6.1
[12:27] <Seveas> ashzilla, nfs or samba
[12:27] <Seveas> well actually
[12:27] <Seveas> only samba
[12:27] <Lisoe> i want to give a windows-machine read- and write-access to a folder on my linux-box. how can i do that?
[12:27] <Seveas> nfs won't work on win
[12:27] <Seveas> Lisoe, with samba
[12:27] <Subhuman> digital_, open the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools"
[12:28] <lamego> JW, well, first you will need to identify what is "slow", is it slow reading frm the disk, slow updating the screen ? slow when you do what ?
[12:28] <Jeeves__> hello, can someone advise me on using SSH to remote into a ubuntu box?
[12:28] <lamego> Jeeves__, install openssh-server on the remote box
[12:28] <digital_> Subhuman: I have that. It's version 5 something
[12:28] <ashzilla> Seveas, I'm trying to import files that are on my Linux partition so that I can run .mp3s in Windows - I got sound working, but all of my .mp3s/.mp4s are on my Linux partition
[12:28] <Lisoe> yeah, i'm trying now
[12:28] <Lisoe> thing is, i don't know what i'm doing
[12:28] <MatthewV> Jeeves__, and then use ssh user@server to access it
[12:28] <ompaul> Jeeves__, ssh -C username@otherbox - from windos install putty and use that
[12:28] <lamego> and then just connect to it using the Places -> Connect to server, or from the command line
[12:29] <lamego> if you need file transfer over ssh from windows, try winscp or filezilla
[12:29] <JW> lamego, "slow" updating the screen on one system and low screen resolution on another.
[12:29] <Lisoe> i've made a folder and added it in the "shared folders"-thing under system -> administration
[12:29] <reemusk> i'm getting <IP_ADDRESS> when i run sudo dhclient eth0  and then i'm getting "no dhcpoffers recieved" and no working leases in persistent database....what can I do? I can't connect with my external modem
[12:29] <lamego> !resolution > JW
[12:29] <Subhuman> digital_, ahh so you want to compile the newest version, have you ever compiled before? if not "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and then tell me if you get stuck, the tar'd file to download should ghave a text file called "INSTALL" which will explain how to compile.
[12:29] <Jeeves__> hello lamego, I have, I got it all working ok but when i remote in it takes ages to ask me for a password
[12:29] <johlin> ompaul: I already had those libwxgtk-packages installed, but I tried installing an older version also.
[12:29] <catch23> anyone know why cat /proc/mdstat might cause the command to hang?
[12:29] <Consty> Anyone know a way to edit mdb files with openoffice?
[12:29] <lamego> and also make sure you are using the 3d accelarated driver for your card
[12:29] <lamego> Jeeves__, is the dns properly configured on the remote server ?
[12:29] <J_P> void^: beouse this is totally insecure, becouse in normal user can use 100% of cpu using only two TABs!!
[12:29] <ompaul> johlin, well then you will break packages and their dependancy
[12:30] <hctibtipots> how do you setup a dsl connection???
[12:30] <Jeeves__> when you say properly configured?
[12:30] <digital_> Subhuman: I've compiled before. I don't want to though. I would like a binary so I can upgrade it when a new Ubuntu package comes out.
[12:30] <ashzilla> !samba

[12:30] <ompaul> johlin, you are exploring new and interesting ways
[12:30] <Jeeves__> sometimes it works and other times not
[12:30] <lamego> J_P, it is normal on unix/linux system to take up to 100% of the cpu, you can limit that by using PAM limits, if you really see a problem there
[12:30] <johlin> ompaul: so I should remove them and reinstall the newer ones?
[12:30] <Insomnia2> hct, do you have a dsl modem installed in your computer, or  are you connecting to the dsl connection through a seperate dsl router?
[12:30] <Subhuman> digital_, use checkinstall
[12:30] <eric___> Would somebody be willing to help me with a grub/boot question?
[12:30] <baconbacon> ubotu tell hctibtipots about dsl
[12:30] <Subhuman> !checkinstall
[12:30] <ubotu> checkinstall is a replacement for "make install", when compiling. It will inflate a .deb package for you to install, which will then be listed in the database. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall
[12:30] <nofear> anyone know where i can download automatix from?
[12:31] <lamego> I mean, it is usual for a normal user to be able to...
[12:31] <baconbacon> !dsl
[12:31] <digital_> Subhuman: What's that do?
[12:31] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ADSLPPPoE
[12:31] <eric___> What I have is a USB hard drive (100 gig) and an ubuntu live CD.
[12:31] <Subhuman> digital_, ubotu ^
[12:31] <Jeeves__> just seems to take ages to ask for the password, then when I put it in it says connection closed
[12:31] <lamego> nofear, use easyubuntu instead, google.com for it
[12:31] <ompaul> johlin, what I would say is stay with the ones that come with your version of ubuntu so your not chasing that down as a full time job
[12:31] <hctibtipots> just the dsl modem connected through ethernetcable
[12:31] <eric___> ubuntu is installed in the second partition of that drive.
[12:31] <ompaul> !automatix
[12:31] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[12:31] <Subhuman> !tell digital_ about checkinstall
[12:31] <eric___> My main hard disk belongs to my employer so I don't dare mess with it.
[12:31] <J_P> lamego: but in debian sarge for example, I dont have this problem (two TABs) !! so ?
[12:31] <digital_> ubotu: checkinstall
[12:31] <nofear> k
[12:31] <nofear> thanks
[12:31] <johlin> ompaul: okay. I guess I'll have to wait for the ubuntu package link for code::blocks to come back up then
[12:32] <eric___> What I wanna do is get the laptop to boot up the ubuntu I just installed on that drive.
[12:32] <eric___> What I've been trying to do is boot up the ubuntu live cd.
[12:32] <Dr_Willis>  please join #automatix and backup your system first. :)
[12:32] <eric___> then I select 'other options'
[12:32] <lamego> J_P, so that means there is a specific condition on your ubuntu setup which is causing the bash file autocompletation into a endless loop
[12:32] <unixslut> ?
[12:32] <eric___> Then I plug in 'root = /dev/sda/root'.
[12:32] <eric___> Bunch of text scrolls along and I get a Kernel panic.
[12:32] <ashzilla> Seveas, I'm a little confused... Does Samba transfer the files through a network?
[12:33] <eric___> Am I doing this the right way or am I way off?
[12:33] <johlin> eric__: I think you shouldn't use /dev in that path
[12:33] <johlin> eric__: I don't even know if you can boot off external devices from grub
[12:33] <eric___> johlin: So I should do 'root = /sda2/root/'?
[12:33] <void^> J_P: eh, any user can use 100% cpu time if it's available. try: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null
[12:33] <Seveas> ashzilla, yes
[12:33] <eric___> johlin: Right.
[12:33] <hctibtipots> thanx
[12:34] <hctibtipots> is there such a program in linux to convert *.avi files to dvd???
[12:34] <J_P> lamego: now I would like know how resolv this to don't have this problem in ubuntu and works with two TABs as in root user or in normal user as in sarge systems.. Could you tell me what config I need do ?
[12:34] <TimeForBears> Hello... I have an installation problem with 6.06 on dual-opteron box
[12:35] <lamego> J_P, if you believe there is a bug, post it on the ubuntu bug tracking system, https://launchpad.net/
[12:35] <digital_> ubontu checkinstall
[12:35] <lamego> J_P, but I was not able to reproduce your problem
[12:35] <Subhuman> digital_, do it like !checkinstall
[12:35] <Subhuman> !checkinstall
[12:35] <ubotu> checkinstall is a replacement for "make install", when compiling. It will inflate a .deb package for you to install, which will then be listed in the database. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall
[12:36] <Subhuman> see?
[12:36] <digital_> !checkinstall
[12:36] <Subhuman> ive jus done it so it wont.
[12:36] <ashzilla> Seveas, then could I ever realistically use Samba to play mp3s off of iTunes?
[12:36] <J_P> lamego: why not ? I only do TAB two time in any .tar large file ;-)
[12:36] <TimeForBears> my cd boots up fine, but hangs before it gets to gnome
[12:36] <TimeForBears> literally *just* before
[12:36] <digital_> Subhuman: Thans for thin info. Looks like I have a lot of work to do.
[12:37] <lamego> J_P, how large ? file completion never hanged on me
[12:37] <Jeeves__> Ok, i just got in so it does work, there just seems to be a masive delay before asking for a password
[12:37] <eric___> Anybody else know if you can use grub to boot from a USB drive?
[12:37] <J_P> lamego: the kernel-source for example.. is is my example!
[12:37] <eric___> johlin: Is my syntax correct?
[12:37] <Subhuman> digital_, just "./configure && make && sudo checkinstall " if everything goes to plan.
[12:37] <J_P> lamego: is 254MB
[12:38] <JW> lamego, The howto you recomended is for Hoary , does it apply to my Dapper system?
[12:38] <lamego> well, report it on launchpad, i am not goind to try it with a 254MB file :P
[12:38] <digital_> Subhuman: Nice! I'll give that a go. I got the dvd+rw-tools from Edgy
[12:38] <J_P> lamego: now imagine if is one file with 5GB, my cpu will be are usage in 99% not more by 35s but more than 10 minutes..
[12:38] <johlin> eric__: I think it looks right
[12:38] <lamego> JW, depends on the howto, probably it will not
[12:38] <TimeForBears> can anyone suggest kernel options etc I might need to try?
[12:38] <eric___> johlin: I tried that and I got the same error - system choked.
[12:38] <digital_> Subhuman: I'm still waiting for the dev tools to be installed
[12:39] <johlin> eric__: but I think you have to add the harddrive in device.map, if external devices works (I don't know)
[12:39] <eric___> johnlin: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1).
[12:39] <eric___> "
[12:39] <void^> J_P: .. and at this point you would press ctrl-c or kill the process. problem solved.
[12:39] <lamego> J_P, the tab auto completation has nothing to do with the filesize, your relation doesn't make much sense
[12:39] <johlin> eric__: look in your device.map, try adding your sda drive there and maybe it works
[12:39] <eric___> johlin: where is device.map?
[12:40] <TimeForBears> is this the right place to come to ask for help??
[12:40] <nbjayme> please help me with the cp command.... i want to include copying the hidden directories... i tried -RfP  it did not copy my hidden directories... what option must be used?
[12:40] <johlin> eric__: /boot/grub/device.map
[12:40] <Jeeves__> ok, too late, need to go to sleep, night all
[12:40] <TimeForBears> is this the right place to come to ask for help??
[12:40] <fdsd> does anyone know why mkisofs does this?  Using BLUE_001.PNG;1 for  water/pics/blue-lowerright.png (blue-lowerleft.png)
[12:40] <fdsd> ?
[12:41] <eric___> johlin: OK - I'm rebooting the live CD.
[12:41] <fdsd>  -J -r is enabled
[12:41] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Sure!
[12:41] <TimeForBears> OHPhoneGuy.. I was starting to think I was see-through
[12:41] <TimeForBears> I've got a big problem installing 6.06
[12:42] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Shoot...I'll try to help you as much as I can.
[12:42] <grogoreo> hi
[12:42] <docko> is there any non-gui utility to install firewall on ubuntu? something like guarddog for gnome
[12:42] <cybercobra> the desktop installer is stuck after step 3 and rebooting doesn't help. any advice?
[12:42] <TimeForBears> I've installed, and used the live CD, and the live DVD... all with the same result
[12:42] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, What's the result?
[12:42] <grogoreo> I'm trying xcompmgr and it says in the terminal "No composite extension"
[12:42] <TimeForBears> just before I get into gnome (on the live cd/dvd) and just after logging in, the screen goes dark maroon, and I see a mouse pointer
[12:43] <TimeForBears> you'd expect the bar to come up with "windows manager" etc in it, which gnome is loading.... but I dont get that, it just sits there
[12:43] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Hrms.  That doesn't sound right.  Let me see if this is a known bug.
[12:44] <JW> Subhuman, What is your system's max screen resolution?
[12:44] <TimeForBears> I'm installing on a K8WE with two opterons.... using the amd64 kernel
[12:44] <eric___> johlin: It occurs to me I can't make any changes to the device.map on the liveCD.
[12:44] <rsgill> hi everyone
[12:45] <TimeForBears> the strange thing is that it was working before - but after a reboot, I had this exact problem, and I've always had it since, no matter how I boot
[12:45] <cybercobra> the desktop installer is stuck after step 3 and rebooting doesn't help. any advice? please!
[12:45] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Hrms.  That is quite odd.
[12:45] <johlin> eric___: I guess not.
[12:45] <alindeman> Any reason I would start up ubuntu for the first time and not have /dev/psaux ?  I definitely have a PS/2 mouse--Knoppix, etc.. detected it fine
[12:45] <rsgill> quick question..how do you stop gnome from defaulting the the /documents folder when it prompts you for ocation to save a file?
[12:45] <alindeman> /dev/psaux just plain doesn't exist, I mean
[12:45] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, I had that until I fixed my BIOS settings. But I now can't remember /which/ BIOS settings and I'm typing on the machine I used....
[12:46] <TimeForBears> so - to clarify - I've reinstalled now - including a format, in case something residual was somehow causing a problem
[12:46] <eric___> johlin: what about making a rescue disk that says - "go look for the kernel HERE".
[12:46] <avis> hi cappicard
[12:46] <TimeForBears> I'm on a laptop at the moment, just booting without a CD in
[12:47] <johlin> eric___: you can load linux from loadlin on a dos-floppy, but getting usb-support on those are not simple from what I've heard. I'm not an expert on this anyway, ask in the forumns
[12:47] <cappicard> hi avis
[12:47] <ompaul> alindeman, as /dev/psaux should be created on the fly by udev - so it is not registering with the system - try reseating the mouse
[12:47] <hakanw> anyone know how to make vsftpd follow symlinks ?
[12:47] <eric___> johlin: for what it's worth the device.map on my USB drive has only one entry: "(hd0) /dev/sda"
[12:47] <hakanw> so I can put a symlink to some place on the system in a user's ftp catalogue
[12:47] <rsgill> anyone?
[12:47] <alindeman> ompaul: It's a touchpad
[12:47] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, I suggest you upgrade to the latest BIOS for your motherboard, then google for your motherboard and Linux support. That's pretty much what I did. I changed a couple of things, one to do with MTRR and one was another memory thing. Boot in verbose mode and see where things are dying. Also try using the non-smp kernel first.
[12:47] <rsgill> quick question..how do you stop gnome from defaulting the the ~/Documents folder when it prompts you for ocation to save a file?
[12:47] <TimeForBears> the real problem is that there isn't any error, it just hangs...
[12:48] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, but you will see exactly where, i.e. what operation it is doing, in verbose mode.
[12:48] <alexbligh> You should see a timestamped log.
[12:48] <eric___> johlin: there also seems to be no /grub under the /boot on the liveCD.
[12:48] <alexbligh> What m/board are you using?
[12:48] <johlin> eric___: That should be wrong. That basicly says (I guess) that it should boot from harddrive 0 if you type /dev/sda1, try changing that do (sd0) instead, I don't know if that works though
[12:48] <boga> The sound recorder in GNOME says my settings are invalid, yet I can record from the command line. Any help?
[12:48] <TimeForBears> how do I boot in verbose mode?
[12:49] <alexbligh> You should see a menu in grub with "recovery mode" on.
[12:49] <Bassetts> how can i put a password on a folder?
[12:49] <ompaul> alindeman, then there is a package called synaptics sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-input-synaptics -- what version of ubuntu are you using
[12:49] <eric___> johlin: I wonder if the ubuntu installer just doesn't take into account that you're using an external drive as your primary boot partition.
[12:49] <eric___> johlin: just assumes you're using hd0.
[12:49] <Hakker> ok I got an Unichrome vicard (standard in my mainbord) but the driver in ubuntu says platform device (vga16fb.o) prolly not good right?
[12:50] <TimeForBears> alexbligh: no problem anywhere
[12:50] <eric___> johlin: So I'll change that hd0 to sd0.
[12:50] <alexbligh> What you mean it boots OK in recovery mode?
[12:50] <alindeman> ompaul: Just installed it an hour ago--breezy (6.06, right?)
[12:50] <alindeman> ompaul: OK, I'll try that package
[12:50] <ompaul> alindeman, no dapper is 6.06
[12:50] <johlin> eric___: maybe. I found some good results using google, for example this: http://www.simonf.com/usb/
[12:50] <JW> rsgill, If you are using Firefox, there is a download preferences option that I use to redirect my downloads.
[12:50] <TimeForBears> alex: yes
[12:51] <ompaul> alindeman, command line lsb_release -d
[12:51] <TimeForBears> I'm now at CLI
[12:51] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, remind me exactly where it hangs in normal mode?
[12:51] <alindeman> ompaul: Ah, sorry, dapper, yes
[12:51] <TimeForBears> immediately after login
[12:52] <rsgill> JW: It's not fireforx specific
[12:52] <alexbligh> Are ou using an AMD64 live CD or an i386 live CD?
[12:52] <TimeForBears> you know the beige box that appears in the middle of the screen - telling you what's being loaded etc?
[12:52] <TimeForBears> AMD64
[12:52] <rsgill> If I want to save a podcast from Liferea, gnome defaults to the Documents folder and I just want gnome to default to the last folder i used
[12:52] <weasel__> How do I set all subdirectories to the same user permissions as a top directory. Preferably in Nautilus, but in CLI if that's how you know
[12:52] <TimeForBears> incidentally, the 5.10 cd seemed to qork
[12:53] <TimeForBears> *work
[12:53] <alexbligh> oKtosiTe, I'd suggest you have a video driver problem. Either in the sense of a problem with the video driver itself, or some BIOS peculiarity meaning the video driver isn't working right.
[12:53] <alexbligh> Sorry that was for TimeForBears.
[12:54] <KoMpLoT> Hi all
[12:54] <weasel__> How do I set all subdirectories to the same user permissions as a top directory. Preferably in Nautilus, but in CLI if that's how you know
[12:54] <TimeForBears> ok - I have the same problem whether I'm using nv or nvidia in xorg.conf
[12:54] <TimeForBears> but the screen does change resolution, and I get the mouse pointer....
[12:54] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, or it could be something as dumb as trying to write to the sound device to play the logon tune hangs the system.
[12:55] <KoMpLoT> trying to make cups recognize some user (on web administrator) I enabled root user by sudo passwd root, now I would like to know how can I disable root again
[12:55] <ashzilla> What's the best way to make files in Linux recognizable in Windows permanently?
[12:55] <TimeForBears> that seems more likely to me
[12:55] <ashzilla> I have samba fs.
[12:55] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, does the mouse pointer continue moving when it's "hung"? Does the caps-lock key continue to toggle the caps-lock LED?
[12:55] <TimeForBears> yes, I can still move it
[12:56] <weasel__> How would I remove "read-only" from all subdirectories, not just the directory? Surely someone knows how!
[12:56] <TimeForBears> 'hang' isnt the right description, but I've left it for hours, it... stops.
[12:56] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, OK I revise my opinion. I don't think that's h/w. h/w stuff tends to hang nastilly.
[12:56] <TimeForBears> ok... I havent installed *anything*
[12:56] <Subhuman> ashzilla, get ext2/3 drivers dor windows.
[12:56] <rsgill> has anyone had any luck getting an ATI IGP 300 card to work with 3D accelaration?
[12:56] <JW> rsgill, Does your pod catcher have a download preferences option?  CastPodder redirects my downloads to a special folder.
[12:57] <TimeForBears> sorry, I tell a lie... I installed nvidia-glx and changed xorg.conf accordingly, but only after I had the problem again
[12:57] <TimeForBears> I've been scratching my head and swearing about this all day
[12:57] <weasel__> How the hell do I remove read-only from all of the subdirectories of a directory?
[12:57] <rem> weasel: chmod -R a+w dir
[12:57] <weasel__> thanks rem :)
[12:58] <rem> weasel: chmod -R u+w dir if just for u ..
[12:58] <weasel__> rem, do you know if it is possible from within nautilus?
[12:58] <ardchoille> weasel__: you need to think "adding write permission" rather than *removing* read only. You can make all directories within a parent directory write enabled with chmod -R u+w /path/to/parent/dir
[12:58] <TimeForBears> incidentally, I can log in to failsafe terminal, but that is the *only* session it will show.
[12:58] <rem> probably...but dunno ...
[12:58] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, no immediate ideas (my kernel was once upon a time hanging on boot and I thought you had the same issue). You could switch back to a text console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and find whatever processes it's waiting for and try and divine something through strace.
[12:58] <TimeForBears> and that is the maroon background with the terminal window bottom right
[12:58] <weasel__> ardchoille: possible from within nautilus?
[12:58] <ardchoille> weasel__: I don't know, I don't use nautilus
[12:59] <weasel__> thanks ardchoille
[12:59] <ardchoille> I use a terminal as my file manager ;)
[12:59] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, you don't have multiple block devices do you? Can you access /home from the terminal window?
[01:00] <Jack_Sparrow> weasel__: did you need to get permissions on a folder or group of folders
[01:00] <TimeForBears> I have /home on a separate partition on the same drive, but I can access it from CLI
[01:01] <weasel__> Jack_Sparrow: I don't know, it worked. BTW, I ended up just reinstalling
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> weasel__:  I use term sudo nautilus --no-desktop or gksudp nautilus
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo
[01:02] <david__> does anyone no of any free virus software ubuntu?
[01:02] <skavenge> linux doesnt get viruses, but if your wanting to check email and that try clamav
[01:02] <MisterN> david__: you are well talking about WINDOWS viruses?
[01:02] <weasel__> david__: I think AVG has a Linux version, but there's not really any point to having a Linux AV.
[01:02] <TimeForBears> alex: how do I know what it is waiting on?
[01:03] <JW> Are video board drivers interchangeable across Debian based distributions?
[01:03] <TimeForBears> ps -ef something?
[01:03] <alexbligh> ps + strace -f
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> david__: AV is not needed...
[01:04] <wee-> helloi
[01:04] <skavenge> in linux we plug holes not run adaware heh
[01:04] <ardchoille> david__: I don't feel the need for virus scanners in Linux. However, i do recommend a rootkit checker.. rkhunter and chkrootkit are in the repos.
[01:04] <TimeForBears> alex: what is strace?
[01:05] <moomoo23> can someone tell me why after removing icecast2 then trying to reinstall doesn't give me all the necessary packages it just simply creates the folders...
[01:05] <wee-> any recommendations for setting up an "Asus W5A/e notebook?" <-- can someone please point me in the right direction. My question is if there are any particular drivers I should be worried about before installing
[01:05] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, "man strace" :-) it dumps what system calls a program is using.
[01:06] <TimeForBears> alex: it doesnt like the command you gave
[01:08] <weasel__> what's the command for rename?
[01:08] <ardchoille> mv
[01:08] <weasel__> that's move
[01:08] <skavenge> wee-: check this out; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam if your lucky your laptop is listed along with a page about what was needed
[01:08] <ardchoille> mv filename newfilename
[01:08] <ardchoille> weasel__: same thing
[01:09] <skavenge> weasel__: mv is basically rename
[01:09] <ze4502us> Does anyone know how to prevent Gnome from defaulting to the ~/Documents folder whenever the file open save dialog pops up
[01:09] <TimeForBears> it's rename, isnt it?!
[01:09] <hakanw> does anyone know how to let vsftpd follow symlinks?
[01:10] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, sorry,  you can't just type it in like that, you will want to find the PID of the process you want to determine why it is hanging, and do something like "strace -fp [PidAsNumberGoesHereWithoutTheBrackets] ". But interpreting all this stuff is not going to be easy over IRC (especially as I need to go to bed). You may also have to try launching the processes differently so they are traced all the way through. It wou
[01:10] <alexbligh> ld be useful to know if everything works from a command line prompt. Do something like "find /" from a terminal and see if it completes or hangs - if it hangs, maybe you have some file system problem. Sorry not to be of more help.
[01:11] <johlin> what is the command to list all open processes?
[01:11] <mwe> ps aux
[01:11] <ardchoille> ps aux
[01:11] <wee-> skavenge: cheers
[01:11] <david__> I heard that av wasn't needed buti also heard that there has been a few unix virus
[01:11] <Subhuman> johlin, or ps -e
[01:11] <TimeForBears> alex: I've tried stracce ps -ef
[01:11] <david__> I suppose those can infect linux too?
[01:12] <johlin> thanks everyone, my computer just got really slow (I mean really) slow a few minutes ago, I can't see why
[01:12] <TimeForBears> and dumped to fine... what am I looking for?
[01:12] <digital_> It looks like won't be able to get double layer dvd burning in Dapper. Need to move up to Edgy
[01:12] <Subhuman> david__, yes theyre is but there not in the wild.
[01:12] <mwe> david__: because users are not administrators by default in linux, they would have a hard time spreading
[01:12] <DBO> johlin, the top command might be more use to you
[01:12] <ardchoille> david__: *if* your computer gets a virus, what is the virus going to do without root permissions?
[01:12] <ze4502us> Does anyone know how to prevent Gnome from defaulting to the ~/Documents folder whenever the file open save dialog pops up
[01:13] <johlin> I've got lots lots lots of kio_http running, what's that?
[01:13] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, no you need to work out the PID from the list "ps -ef" gives you. I'm not trying to be patronizing, but if you aren't used to working your way through strace output it is probably not worth your while trying. I should have ascertained whether you knew how to do it before suggesting it - sorry.
[01:13] <david__> guess my migration from microsux sux will be a slowbumpy one
[01:14] <hakanw> what's the difference between mount --bind foo bar and symlinks?
[01:14] <TimeForBears> yeah, but the PID from what...?
[01:14] <TimeForBears> nothing is eating cycles
[01:14] <deemo> hey everyone, i have been following the following instructions to fix my boot loader: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but when i try to set the root it tells me the Selected Disk does not exist
[01:14] <deemo> anyone know whats wrong? im doing root (hd0,0) and my / is mounted on hda1
[01:14] <`sheep> hello
[01:14] <johlin> deemo: that's just the way it works afaik
[01:14] <mwe> deemo: that windows
[01:15] <`sheep> i have installed ubuntu about 3 weeks ago
[01:15] <skavenge> PID is listed in ps ...
[01:15] <`sheep> with xgl support
[01:15] <mwe> deemo: or not?
[01:15] <`sheep> i mean installed
[01:15] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, it won't be. It will be stuck on a read(), or a write(), or in some form of select loop. Look for the most recent process (highest PID if you've rebooted recently) and try that.
[01:15] <DBO> `sheep, xgl support is in in #ubuntu-xgl
[01:15] <deemo> i know it used to work, i dont see why windows would make make it so grub cant find my hd....
[01:15] <`sheep> but when i boot to it, i have to run setxkbmap before i can use the keyboard properly
[01:15] <mwe> deemo: on a dual boot windows is usually hda1
[01:15] <TimeForBears> alex: how do I sort ps by PID?
[01:16] <johlin> Is KTorrent overall buggy? I found out that KTorrent was the slowdown, even though it didn't down/upload anything.
[01:16] <deemo> mwe, on my box, i have hda2 set as my ntfs partition. hda1 is ext3
[01:16] <TimeForBears> ignore that question
[01:16] <TimeForBears> alex: I'll reboot, and go again
[01:16] <alexbligh> "ps -ef | sort -n +1" OR  "ps auxwwg | sort -n +1"
[01:16] <niki> what command gives me a list of all hard drives connected to my computer, so i know which device i need to mount?
[01:16] <ardchoille> deemo: which OS did you install last?
[01:17] <mwe> deemo: I thought windows would insist on installing on the first partition on the first drive usually. but ok
[01:17] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, off to bed. Hope you find some way to sort it.
[01:17] <TimeForBears> alex: thanks
[01:17] <deemo> ardchoille, i installed windows last, and i know it messes things up, but i have fixed it before
[01:17] <SonicChao> mwe, not always, in the DOS screen it lets you choose
[01:17] <deemo> mwe, i dont know, i dont think so
[01:17] <ardchoille> deemo: oh, ok :)
[01:17] <mwe> deemo: ok then
[01:18] <Acill> how do I copy a dir from a shell to another location?
[01:18] <Acill> cp mol /mnt wont work
[01:18] <ardchoille> Acill: cp -r /path/dir /newpath
[01:18] <mwe> deemo: the grub shell should let you tab complete though
[01:18] <SonicChao> My install freezes at "Setting Up The Clock". What should I do?
[01:18] <gostview> hello all, someone could tell me if there is a RSS for gnome?
[01:19] <Acill> so if I want something from the dir I am in to go to /mnt what do I type?
[01:19] <SonicChao> !rss
[01:19] <ubotu> I know nothing about rss
[01:19] <ardchoille> gostview: have a look at liferea
[01:19] <deemo> mwe, it has tab completion for the commands but if i do root (hd and press tab it wont work
[01:19] <mwe> Acill: cp -a foo
[01:19] <gostview> ardchoille> tx
[01:19] <gostview> ardchoille> tnx
[01:19] <ardchoille> gostview: yw :)
[01:20] <TimeForBears> alex: are you still there?
[01:20] <mwe> deemo: then I think it doesn't recognize it. it should let you usually I think
[01:20] <TimeForBears> the last few processes are wavs
[01:20] <TimeForBears> maybe its a sound issue
[01:20] <deemo> mwe hmm alright ill try some other things i guess
[01:20] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:20] <mwe> deemo: are you doing it from the live cd or what?
[01:21] <deemo> mwe: yes from live cd, but im going to try and do it through the rescue console in the main menu of the live cd
[01:21] <wee-> #ubuntu-laptop
[01:21] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:21] <mwe> deemo: is the live cd able to mount your linux partition?
[01:21] <deemo> mwe: yes i have mounted it
[01:21] <wikiii> How do I hide my IP address in IRC so I don't get hacked?
[01:21] <mwe> deemo: odd then
[01:22] <deemo> mwe: your telling me :P
[01:22] <niki> what command would i use to mount a newly installed drive (hdd) ?
[01:22] <ardchoille> wikiii: ask a staffer for a user cloak
[01:22] <mwe> niki: is it partitioned?
[01:22] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:22] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:22] <niki> mwe, yes, fat32
[01:22] <wikiii> how?
[01:22] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, STOP.
[01:22] <SonicChao> If no one KNOWS.
[01:22] <wikiii> where's a staffer?
[01:22] <SonicChao> You won't get TOLD.
[01:22] <SonicChao> Period.
[01:22] <cyphase> why isn't libdvdcss included in universe while patent-encumbered gstreamer plugins are?
[01:22] <skavenge> !patience
[01:22] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:22] <mwe> niki: first sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdd to list the partition names
[01:22] <ardchoille> wikiii: do /stats p and find a staffer, then /msg them
[01:23] <niki> mwe, there is one partition, hdd1
[01:23] <mwe> niki: ok
[01:23] <SonicChao> skavenge, sorry, your response was probably better than mine
[01:23] <wikiii> 	p 0 staff members
[01:23] <mwe> niki: then sudo mkdir /mnt/hdd1 for example and sudo  mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1
[01:23] <skavenge> cyphase: the movie industry has bigger thugs than the music industry? i dunno good question
[01:23] <cyphase> or w32codecs
[01:24] <cyphase> although that might be a copyright as opposed to patent problem
[01:24] <niki> mwe, cool, thanks!  what's the -t for on mount?
[01:24] <TimeForBears> SonicChao: sorry. I've been struggling with this problem for hours, and I'm more than a little frustrated....
[01:24] <skavenge> cyphase: thats likely .. you found the wget links for both though right?
[01:24] <mwe> niki: file system type
[01:24] <niki> oh ok
[01:24] <niki> mwe, thanks again :)
[01:24] <mwe> yw
[01:24] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, now you won't get an answer.  And press the "MUTE" button.
[01:25] <mwe> TimeForBears: just run alsamixer and mute it
[01:25] <spades> TimeForBears put 'set bell-style none' into ~/.inputrc
[01:25] <TimeForBears> SonicChao: I cant, because I cant get into X, because dapper is not booting properly
[01:26] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, well than that's the real problem.
[01:26] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, not your sound.
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: alsamixer is CLI
[01:26] <TimeForBears> SonicChoa: yes, it is
[01:26] <wikiii>  so how do I make a proxy work with chatzilla?
[01:26] <TimeForBears> SonicChoa: I've been trying to get some help with it on here
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: alsamixer is CLI
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: alsamixer is CLI
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: just run alsamixer and mute it
[01:26] <skavenge> cyphase: if your repos are installed you should be able to apt-get libdvdcss2
[01:26] <tonyyarusso> TimeForBears: You could use a cli browser like elinks, links2, or w3m.  And yes, alsamixer should do the trick.
[01:26] <MadScientist> TimeForBears, use alsamixer
[01:26] <cyphase> skavenge: the ubuntu repos?
[01:26] <__filip_> What app should i use to open a .chm file?
[01:27] <ardchoille> skavenge: iirc, libdvdcss2 is not in the repos
[01:27] <ashzilla> !sfs
[01:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about sfs
[01:27] <ashzilla> !sambafs
[01:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about sambafs
[01:27] <ashzilla> !samba
[01:27] <skavenge> ardchoille: according to the restrictedformats page it is, may be a mistake then
[01:27] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:27] <lophyte> __filip_: there's a program called xchm
[01:27] <ardchoille> skavenge: then it's a mistake ;)
[01:27] <TimeForBears> hang on... I want to disable, not mute
[01:27] <__filip_> lophyte: Thanx
[01:27] <lophyte> __filip_: sudo apt-get install xchm
[01:27] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install
[01:28] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, WHY. They both have the same effect.
[01:28] <ashzilla> How can I do this
[01:28] <mwe> TimeForBears: explain
[01:28] <TimeForBears> the sound, I believe, is causing the boot problem - hence I want to disable it to see if the machine will boot
[01:28] <ICSNickError> my installation is EXTERMELY slow
[01:28] <mwe> TimeForBears: make sure you sound modules are blacklisted then
[01:28] <skavenge> ardchoille: i see now its apt-getting libdvdread3 from there you run the install script to get libdvdcss2
[01:28] <niki> if i do a server install, is gnome still installed?
[01:28] <user__> USER
[01:28] <eric___> dumb question: how do I save and leave vi?
[01:28] <TimeForBears> mwe: how do I do that?
[01:28] <sexcopter8000m> what would be the command to format my usb disk with fat (or vfat, whatever)
[01:28] <ardchoille> skavenge: yes, I remember that
[01:28] <niki> eric___, hit :wq
[01:28] <niki> eric___, thats including the ':'
[01:29] <ICSNickError> my installation is EXTERMELY slow. anyone know why?
[01:29] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, is your machine overheating?
[01:29] <ICSNickError> no
[01:29] <niki> ICSNickError, do you have the right video drivers?
[01:29] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install.. What is the best way to do this?
[01:29] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: is it an old machine?
[01:29] <ICSNickError> it works with other linux distros
[01:29] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, how old is the comp?
[01:29] <ICSNickError> it's about 5 yrs old
[01:30] <ICSNickError> laptop
[01:30] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, that's the problem.
[01:30] <skavenge> cyphase: sorry my mistake its not in the repos, once you apt-get libdvdread3 all it takes is a running of a install script to get libdvdcss2 .. couple more hoops than necessary
[01:30] <SonicChao> It's old.
[01:30] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, just give it some time.
[01:30] <cyphase> skavenge: i know, that's what i did
[01:30] <hou5ton> ok ... i've tried everything in the book, and although this laptop displayed the proper screen resolution in Breezy (1440x900), it refuses to in Dapper.  Any more ideas?
[01:30] <ICSNickError> last attampt: it froze on the second page
[01:30] <tonyyarusso> ICSNickError: Are you using the Desktop or Alternate CD to install?  I know the Desktop one has higher RAM requirements for installation.
[01:30] <skavenge> my fault, forgot about that install script bit
[01:30] <niki> SonicChao, i run dapper on a laptop thats about 5 or 6 years old, and its not slow...
[01:30] <mwe> TimeForBears: make a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and add 'blacklist yoursoundmodule' to it
[01:30] <izhirahider> How can I change the clock format on the ubuntu desktop (gnome)?
[01:31] <ICSNickError> tonyyarusso, i only have  one cd
[01:31] <skavenge> izhirahider: right click on it
[01:31] <mwe> TimeForBears: lsmod|grep snd to find the name
[01:31] <ICSNickError> tonyyarusso, i have 256 mb ram
[01:31] <skavenge> izhirahider: set time and style and preferences all from that menu
[01:31] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, is the CD (possibly) corrupted?
[01:31] <ICSNickError> bo
[01:31] <ICSNickError> no
[01:32] <ICSNickError> just got it in mail
[01:32] <hakanw> if I use "mount --bind olddir newdir", and then try to rm -rf the "link", does the actual dir get deleted too?
[01:32] <ICSNickError> today
[01:32] <izhirahider> skavenge: no, I mean change the style of what appears: Instead of Jul 3, I'd want 3 Jul 2006
[01:32] <niki> ICSNickError, ubuntu is one of the slowest installing distros i've ever tried...perhaps you're just used to fast-installing distros like slack?
[01:32] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, you didn't download it yourself, okay, now I understand.
[01:32] <ICSNickError> niki, yes, i am
[01:32] <TimeForBears> mwe: what should it be called?
[01:32] <mwe> niki: ever tried gentoo? :)
[01:33] <mwe> TimeForBears: anything
[01:33] <skavenge> izhirahider: hmm dunno there i dont see an option in preferences to add the year
[01:33] <tonyyarusso> ICSNickError: Okay, yeah, that'll be most of the problem.  256 will work, but it might have gone a bit quicker with the Alternate.  You'll be okay though.
[01:33] <ardchoille> mwe: lol
[01:33] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install.. What is the best way to do this?
[01:33] <skavenge> about everything else but that
[01:33] <niki> mwe, i actually don't think i've tried gentoo....
[01:33] <mwe> TimeForBears: blacklist-sound maybe
[01:33] <ICSNickError> i also cant find my screen res
[01:33] <ICSNickError> theres only 640x480 on here
[01:34] <eric___> johnlin: Tried making that change to device.map - no change.
[01:34] <ardchoille> !resolution
[01:34] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:34] <ICSNickError> now my fans are on high
[01:34] <mwe> niki: it takes a day or two to install it
[01:34] <ICSNickError> and it wont leave the first page
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> ICSNickError: you are probably running ati Mobility.. and hence CESA drivers
[01:35] <niki> mwe, wow....is it worth it? :P
[01:35] <izhirahider> skavenge: that's ok, thanks
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> V
[01:35] <mwe> niki: I got tired of compiling everything
[01:35] <digital_> Has anyone in here burned a dual layer dvd in Ubuntu
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Intel video?
[01:35] <eric___> digital: I thought that was impossible - proprietary.  Is that just blu-ray?
[01:35] <niki> mwe, ah....well i've tried about a dozen different ones...stickin with ubuntu for now :D
[01:35] <TimeForBears> mwe: how do I know what the sound module is called?
[01:36] <ICSNickError> intel everything
[01:36] <mwe> niki: it gives you a fast system but it will be slow most of the time because you're always compiling stuff
[01:36] <mwe> TimeForBears: I told you
[01:36] <ICSNickError> Jack_Sparrow, i have an intel chipset in my laptop
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> ICSNickError:  What kind of lappy?
[01:36] <lophyte> eric___: its possible to buy dual layer dvds.. they're just expensive.
[01:36] <digital_> eric___: When whas the last time you went to the store? They have Double Layer DVD burners for about $80
[01:36] <hakanw> anyone know how to "unmount" a bound dir?
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> ics dosent mean you have intel video
[01:36] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install.. What is the best way to do this?
[01:36] <niki> mwe, does it not have a package manager?
[01:36] <ICSNickError> Dell Inspiron 1100?
[01:36] <mwe> TimeForBears: lsmod|grep snd
[01:36] <TimeForBears> mwe: ah, sorry, I missed the command amongst the other posts
[01:36] <mwe> niki: yes and a great one too
[01:37] <niki> mwe, then why compile everything?
[01:37] <mwe> niki: but it compiles everything from source
[01:37] <lophyte> ashzilla: you mean you wanna access your host OS filesystem through a guest OS?
[01:37] <niki> mwe, oh, you mean the install itself, or apps?
[01:37] <ICSNickError> i see a little spinny thing
[01:37] <mwe> niki: gentoo doesn't provide binary packages
[01:37] <ICSNickError> and nothing is happening
[01:37] <niki> mwe, ahhhh ok
[01:38] <mwe> niki: but you just emerge kde to get kde. then wait 24 hours for it to compile
[01:38] <ardchoille> mwe: whoa!
[01:38] <niki> mwe, lol
[01:38] <TimeForBears> mwe: there are 10 processes in the list
[01:38] <TimeForBears> modules sorry
[01:38] <kimo> ubuntu's kernel totally hates my laptops hardware. Can anyone please point me to another stable kernel to try?
[01:39] <sexcopter8000m> ok i'm trying to format my usb stick with gparted, except ubuntu keeps mounting the disk during the process which mucks things up. how can i prevent ubuntu from mounting it?
[01:39] <mwe> niki: but everything will be optimized for your system. but IMHO it doesn't make a big difference
[01:39] <ICSNickError> can i speed this thing along?
[01:39] <mwe> TimeForBears: those are loaded modules
[01:39] <ICSNickError> im getting impatient
[01:40] <TimeForBears> mwe: so what, I add all of them to blacklist-sound ??
[01:40] <ICSNickError> ubuntu is very slow
[01:40] <mwe> TimeForBears: are they all something-snd?
[01:40] <ICSNickError> :P
[01:40] <hou5ton> I'm trying to follow the "FixVideoResoution" instructions, but when I run aticonfig it says no such command, and I don't see it in Synaptic?
[01:40] <TimeForBears> theyre all snd_*something*
[01:41] <mwe> TimeForBears: paste the names on paste.ubuntu-nl.org so you don't blacklist something important
[01:41] <niki> ICSNickError, you're talking about the install still, correct?  ubuntu runs pretty speedy once its installed...
[01:41] <ICSNickError> yep
[01:41] <mwe> TimeForBears: well
[01:41] <mwe> TimeForBears: I think you can just blacklist those for now then
[01:42] <^thehatsrule^> sounds like a bad cd drive :p
[01:42] <ashzilla> lophyte, yes, that's what I want to do - I want to access my linux files from a VMware Windows server
[01:42] <ICSNickError> should i install server or desktop
[01:43] <mwe> lophyte: are you aware that there a free windows tools to access ext linux partitions?
[01:43] <ICSNickError> which has more apps
[01:43] <mwe> ICSNickError: desktop
[01:43] <lophyte> ashzilla: VMware has a feature called Shared Folders... go into the VMs settings window, where you can add and remove hardware to the VM, and click on the Options tab.. there's a Shared Folders feature you can use
[01:43] <lophyte> mwe: no need to use it if you're in VMware :P
[01:43] <ICSNickError> i'm going for server (for my website's sake)
[01:44] <oneeyedelf1> I konw there is a program to automatically install stuff for ubuntu called automatix, and there is also another program that does something similiar, I was wondering what the other program is
[01:44] <mwe> lophyte: I know but for just accessing files I'd say it's overkill :)
[01:44] <TimeForBears> mwe: ok, I've pasted them
[01:44] <ardchoille> oneeyedelf1: the other one is easyubuntu
[01:44] <eric___> Anybody here have experience getting linux to boot off of an external hard disk - where the primary drive is strictly windoze only?
[01:44] <mwe> TimeForBears: url?
[01:44] <oneeyedelf1> ardchoille: thanks
[01:44] <TimeForBears> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17054
[01:44] <ardchoille> oneeyedelf1: yw
[01:44] <lophyte> mwe: yah I agree
[01:44] <ICSNickError> NOOOO
[01:45] <ICSNickError> i tried to move the mouse and it froze
[01:45] <ICSNickError> again
[01:45] <ICSNickError> what do i do now?
[01:45] <mwe> TimeForBears: I think it's safe to blacklist those, though I think blacklist just snd and soundcore would prevent the rest from loading
[01:45] <hou5ton> I'm trying to follow the "FixVideoResoution" instructions, but when I run aticonfig it says no such command, and I don't see it in Synaptic?  What can I do to run that command on this machine?
[01:45] <TimeForBears> mwe: thanks
[01:46] <ICSNickError> :(
[01:46] <ashzilla> lophyte, I'm having trouble finding this "Option" tab
[01:47] <mwe> hou5ton: have you installed xorg-driver-fglrx?
[01:47] <trygg> Its possible to get tv-out to work with ati radeon 9000?
[01:47] <ICSNickError> someone, installation is hung
[01:47] <hou5ton> mwe:  I'll check
[01:47] <oneeyedelf1> I have a quick question, I plan on installing kubuntu for a friend and then giving him the computer, the thing is he will have adifferent monitor, is there anyway to have kubuntu reprobe the refresh settings
[01:47] <mwe> hou5ton: that's the binary ati driver
[01:47] <lophyte> ashzilla: VM->Settings and click on the Options tab
[01:47] <mwe> hou5ton: plus aticonfig
[01:47] <Zaire> ok can anyone in here help me with my prob since a couple of wads seem intent on talking about weed and other various things in the kubuntu channel
[01:47] <lophyte> ashzilla: there should be two tabs.. Hardware and Options
[01:48] <Ademan> how would i install grub to the MBR through grub-install?   "grub-install /dev/hda"   ?
[01:48] <hou5ton> mwe:  I don't have that installed
[01:48] <mwe> Ademan: no
[01:48] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:48] <mwe> Ademan: grub doesn't use that scheme
[01:48] <Zaire> I was wondering if anyones heard of a package called makeinfo
[01:48] <mwe> Ademan: it would be hd0
[01:49] <ashzilla> lophyte, I don't know how I overlocked that, thanks you very much.
[01:49] <Kibou> atually "grub-install /dev/hda" works just fine
[01:49] <sethk> Zaire, sure, why?
[01:49] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:49] <lophyte> ashzilla: no prob ;)
[01:49] <Ademan> mwe: and that would install to the MBR? (i don't want to install just to my linux partition, i want it to be the master bootloader)
[01:49] <Zaire> I can't seem to find it so I can install tor privoxy
[01:49] <erUSUL> Ademan: yes grub-install /dev/hda will do it
[01:49] <TimeForBears> mwe: I'm giving up on dapper, that hasnt solved my problem
[01:49] <lophyte> ashzilla: in your VM, you access it by going to My Network Places -> VMware Shared Folders
[01:49] <mwe> hou5ton: well then you hadn't installed the ati driver in the first place
[01:49] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:49] <sethk> Zaire, did you try apt-file to look for it?
[01:49] <ICSNickError> not to be annoying
[01:49] <TimeForBears> mwe: but thanks for the help anyway
[01:49] <hou5ton> mwe:  I'm installing it now
[01:49] <Ademan> thanks guys
[01:49] <ashzilla> lophyte, excellent.
[01:50] <Zaire> nopes haven't tried that
[01:50] <mwe> TimeForBears: yw. maybe the log files will suggest what's wrong
[01:50] <sethk> Zaire, I believe it's part of texinfo
[01:50] <sethk> Zaire, I'll do an apt-file on it, hold on
[01:50] <TimeForBears> mwe: if you can tell me what to look at/for, I'll check it
[01:50] <sethk> Zaire, yes, texinfo.  also used by emacs and xemacs
[01:50] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:50] <Zaire> apt-file command not found
[01:51] <mwe> Zaire: I installed privoxy
[01:51] <mwe> Zaire: just got the .deb
[01:51] <ashzilla> lophyte, there seems to be nothing available about shared folders.
[01:51] <TimeForBears> mwe: the trouble is, I've not got much experience, and this isnt a simple problem
[01:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: errors :)
[01:51] <sethk> Zaire, you have to install it to use it.
[01:51] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:51] <Zaire> I couldn't find a .deb
[01:51] <ardchoille> Zaire: apt-cache search makeinfo
[01:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: look at the timestamps. /var/log/syslog
[01:51] <TimeForBears> mwe: there were no errors
[01:51] <sethk> Zaire, but as I said, I did it for you and it is texinfo
[01:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: so what is the problem exactly?
[01:52] <ICSNickError> would someone please answer?
[01:52] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:52] <Zaire> not texinfo file found
[01:52] <gnubie> oneeyedelf1: choosing recovery mode at boot time will put you as root user in a console and you can edit the xorg.conf to the new monitor soecs.
[01:52] <gnubie> specs
[01:52] <sethk> ICSNickError, I have no idea what you are doing, but you can't just pull the cord from the wall, so if it needs to be shut down, then shut it down
[01:53] <Zaire> k I just found it on adept
[01:53] <ICSNickError> and my installation is hung
[01:53] <mwe> ICSNickError: just hard power off then
[01:54] <mwe> ICSNickError: at what point did it hang?
[01:54] <Zaire> sethk: thanks for the help
[01:54] <ICSNickError> when i moved my mouse on the welcome page
[01:54] <ICSNickError> after i hit enter
[01:54] <lophyte> ashzilla: in your VM?
[01:54] <stevekl> Does anyone know if it's easy to 'recover' GRUB after windows has overwritten it on the MBR?
[01:55] <ashzilla> lophyte: yes, there's nothing at all
[01:55] <stevekl> and how would I do it?
[01:55] <jrib> !grub > stevekl
[01:55] <ashzilla> lophyte, I see the options tab, but there's nothing there.
[01:55] <mwe> ICSNickError: are you talking about during install or after
[01:55] <mwe> stevekl: it easy
[01:55] <lophyte> ashzilla: what version of VMware are you using?
[01:55] <TimeForBears> mwe: ok, the exact problem is this: I'm trying to install dapper on a dual opteron machine. so, I've tried using the live CD and live DVD, but they both have the same problem. I can install from text mode, but when I log in, I get the same problem on all sessions other than failsafe terminal, which does the same thing, but with a terminal right hand corner: the problem itself is that there is gnome fails to initialise properly - I get th
[01:55] <ICSNickError> the language page before the installation
[01:55] <ashzilla> VMware Server 1.0.0
[01:55] <stevekl> jrib, wow that's exactly what I needed, thanks
[01:56] <lophyte> hmm.. I've never used Server
[01:56] <stevekl> bookmarkin'
[01:56] <lophyte> I'm using VMware Workstation 5.1
[01:56] <TimeForBears> mwe:...screen resizing to the right resolution, but before the box comes up (loading x, y, z) it just sits there
[01:56] <ashzilla> lophyte, :(
[01:56] <lophyte> maybe that feature isn't available in your version
[01:56] <ashzilla> maybe if I update.
[01:56] <lophyte> yeah, perhaps
[01:56] <mwe> TimeForBears: ok. grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:56] <Tom7e> i'm trying to run LIRC ./configure and get this message:  configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed
[01:56] <Tom7e>         for this driver
[01:57] <Tom7e> what source?
[01:57] <mwe> Tom7e: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) probably
[01:58] <hctibtipot1> how do you install and use winrar in ubuntu???
[01:58] <hou5ton> mwe:  running aticonfig --initial etc. ... gives me two "Monitor" and "Screen" sections in xorg.conf ... the old one and a new one that it apparantly just wrote.  That doesn't seem right.  Should I delete the old sections?
[01:58] <jrib> !rar > hctibtipot1
[01:58] <mwe> Tom7e: and install build-essential as well if you haven't
[01:59] <ICSNickError> !install
[01:59] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[01:59] <mwe> hou5ton: to be honest I'm not familiar with aticonfig I did it by hand. but I'd guess you could purge the old sections yes
[02:00] <Technel> I installed Ubuntu 6.06, but the internet connection did not work. I booted into Windows and looked up the network help page, found the "sudo ppoeconf" command, but it says "Access controller did not respond" (it did find eth0 though). Any ideas?
[02:00] <TimeForBears> mwe: "Current Operating System: Linux Oppie 2.6.15-23-amd64-k8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:51:32 UTC 2006 x86_64 (WW) warning (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
[02:00] <mwe> Technel: it's not dhcp?
[02:00] <hctibtipot1> thanx, but how do you use it???
[02:00] <mwe> Technel: it ppp over ehternet?
[02:00] <hctibtipot1> winrar that is???
[02:01] <Technel> mwe, Couldn't find anything on DHCP
[02:01] <mwe> Technel: sudo dhclient eth0
[02:01] <mwe> Technel: try that if the interface is eth0
[02:01] <airxdres> l
[02:01] <mwe> Technel: then ping yahoo.com
[02:01] <ICSNickError> i hope it doesnt hang this time
[02:02] <mwe> TimeForBears: ok no errors there :|
[02:02] <Technel> mwe, Alright, I'll try that and be right back, thanks
[02:02] <jrib> hctibtipot1: once you install unrar, you can use applications > accessories > archive manager.  YOu should be able to just double click on a rar file
[02:02] <magnetic> guys: what shell command to show all listed disks please?
[02:02] <magnetic> i forget
[02:02] <Tom7e> mwe:  still get the same message.
[02:02] <hctibtipot1> kkk, thanx jrib
[02:02] <TimeForBears> mwe: .... do you have any other ideas?
[02:03] <jrib> magnetic: 'mount' lists what is mounted
[02:03] <mwe> TimeForBears: hmm
[02:03] <magnetic> jrib lol
[02:03] <mwe> TimeForBears: you could try your luck with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[02:04] <Tmob> anyone here knows how to get suspend/resume to not hang up onresume? (X hangs up on my Dell d410 laptop)
[02:04] <mwe> TimeForBears: reinstalling many times sounds like a bad approach
[02:05] <stevekl> Is there any disadvantages in using the msttcorefonts (other than using non-free stuff)
[02:05] <stevekl> ?
[02:05] <mwe> TimeForBears: unless you find the problem it will happen again
[02:05] <dr_willis> not that i know of stevekl
[02:05] <ICSNickError> where can i change my monitor settings?
[02:05] <mwe> ICSNickError: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:05] <mwe> ICSNickError: but make a backup before you change it
[02:06] <ICSNickError> im on a live cd
[02:06] <mwe> TimeForBears: I'd try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:06] <TimeForBears> mwe: I am
[02:06] <mwe> ICSNickError: well then just change it
[02:06] <mwe> TimeForBears: good
[02:06] <Tom7e> i'm trying to run LIRC ./configure and get this message:  configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver
[02:07] <J_P> Are there in wiki.ubuntu.org anyone howto to compile kernel using kernel-package ?
[02:07] <ardchoille> Tom7e: iirc, that was answered
[02:07] <mwe> stevekl: well not aside from the point that they're ugly :)
[02:07] <Tom7e> ardchoille: it was attempted :)
[02:07] <ardchoille> Tom7e: oh, hehe, ok
[02:08] <danderson> hi all; I've just noticed that there is no hotplug daemon on my ubuntu dapper laptop. Is this absence intentional, and if so, what replaces it?
[02:08] <stevekl> mwe, well that's a valid reason. I'm trying to keep as much microsoft stuff off of my computer as possible, and i'm trying to decide if I really *need* those MS fonts or not
[02:08] <danderson> I'm looking for somewhere to place USB identification for a device, and a script or two to execute when the device is plugged in.
[02:08] <TimeForBears> mwe: ok, i've gone through it, and it's made no difference :|
[02:08] <mwe> stevekl: just get em. you don't have to use them all over
[02:08] <InsideJob> I'm a bit new to ubuntu and just installed dapper and i'm curious where the firewall gui is....i couldn't find one
[02:08] <jrib> !firewall
[02:08] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[02:09] <InsideJob> thanks
[02:09] <useename> insidejob: you probably want to install Firestarter
[02:09] <ardchoille> InsideJob: there isn't one, you can install firestarter, though
[02:09] <mwe> TimeForBears: it freezes before you get to the desktop?
[02:09] <Dick_Balls> Ive had problems with getting ubuntu to recognise my wireless netcard (broadcom in a Hp laptop) ...Was just wondering if anyone knew if these cards or similar were supported in the new, 6.06 release....
[02:09] <mwe> TimeForBears: did you answer the questions correctly?
[02:09] <InsideJob> ok  i'll apt-get it
[02:10] <TimeForBears> mwe: it doesnt freeze - I can still move the mouse - but yes, it never gets to desktop
[02:10] <useename> danderson: I think it's all "udev" now.  Try searching google for "udev ubuntu"
[02:10] <TimeForBears> mwe: just sits on a maroon background with (movable) mouse pointer
[02:10] <mwe> TimeForBears: you can move the mouse? what happens if you right click?
[02:10] <TokenBad> what was it I needed to install to get "Make" avail to me?
[02:11] <Hexidigital_> TokenBad:: build-essential
[02:11] <ardchoille> build essential
[02:11] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes, I can. right clicking does nothing
[02:11] <dr_willis> !b-e
[02:11] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for a pre-built package first!)
[02:11] <useename> or just "make" :)
[02:11] <mwe> TimeForBears: odd
[02:11] <TokenBad> thanks
[02:11] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes, it is odd. it is highly frustrating though...
[02:11] <danderson> useename: got it, thanks.
[02:11] <mwe> TimeForBears: yeah
[02:12] <ardchoille> mwe: is the system not recognising his vid card?
[02:12] <InsideJob> firestarter is exactly what i was looking for..thanks guys ;)
[02:12] <ardchoille> InsideJob: :)
[02:12] <mwe> TimeForBears: but do you get to the graphical login before that?
[02:12] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes
[02:12] <mwe> TimeForBears: ah
[02:12] <ardchoille> ok, never mind
[02:12] <TimeForBears> mwe: obviosuly not with the live cds
[02:12] <hou5ton> mwe:  ok ... we made "some" progress
[02:12] <TimeForBears> ,we: but I do on the installed version
[02:12] <mwe> TimeForBears: well that is good at least
[02:13] <mwe> TimeForBears: and fail safe works but not gnome?
[02:13] <ardchoille> sounds like gnome-session isn't getting started for some reason
[02:13] <TimeForBears> mwe: well, failsafe terminal works - ie i get the terminal bottom right, but screen still maroon background with no desktop, no bars etc
[02:13] <hou5ton> mwe:  before .... with the 1440x900 settings, it would boot to a black screen after login ... now it boots to the wallpaper, but still no sound or loading the rest of Gnome.
[02:13] <TimeForBears> but I never get any dektop anywhere
[02:14] <mwe> TimeForBears: did you do a server install or desktop?
[02:14] <TimeForBears> mwe: desktop
[02:14] <mwe> TimeForBears: and can you type in that terminal?
[02:14] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes
[02:14] <TimeForBears> mwe: thats how I've been following your suggestions
[02:14] <mwe> hmm
[02:15] <Technel> mwe, Are you still here?
[02:15] <yUSiyEEE> quick question: howto open ace file in ubuntu?
[02:15] <mwe> TimeForBears: looks like it's close though. hmm
[02:15] <mwe> Technel: yes
[02:15] <mwe> yUSiyEEE: unace i think
[02:15] <Technel> mwe, I ran "sudo dhclient eth0" and it said something like "Failed to receive attributes from /etc/resolv.conf; file does not exist" (or something along those lines)
[02:15] <mwe> Technel: ok
[02:16] <Dick_Balls> does ubuntu 6.0.6 support many wireless netcards? or do you need to make some houdini tricks to make ubuntu find your card?
[02:16] <reilagarto> hello, i-m completly new in this, please someone help me i have the ububtu Lts (i think) and a pinnacle pctv pro and i want to watch and record some tv progrms. How can i do this?
[02:16] <mwe> Technel: odd. its supposed to create it if it's not present
[02:16] <ranok> Dick_Balls, depends on the wireless card
[02:16] <TimeForBears> mwe: okay - back to failsafe terminal - what do you suggest I try then?
[02:16] <ranok> you might need ndiswrapper
[02:17] <hou5ton> mwe: ... or anyone ..... before .... with the 1440x900 settings, it would boot to a black screen after login ... now it boots to the wallpaper, but still no sound or loading the rest of Gnome.
[02:17] <mwe> TimeForBears: I'm not sure. it bothers me you can get in but not quite. it would almost be easier if you couldn't start it at all
[02:17] <C_J_Pro> Who does the login/logoff sounds for Ubuntu?
[02:18] <sysdoc> lol
[02:18] <Dick_Balls> Ranok: What about the cards from Broadcom...are they supported? or do
[02:18] <Technel> mwe, Any ideas what to do?
[02:19] <ranok> Dick_Balls, they need ndis, but some have a reverse engineered driver
[02:19] <TimeForBears> mwe: ah - I misunderstood what you were saying before
[02:19] <TimeForBears> mwe: either way, it's no good to me like this#
[02:19] <mwe> TimeForBears: no.
[02:19] <TimeForBears> mwe: back to 5.10 I suppose... that seemed to boot ok
[02:20] <fdsd> hey guys, I am making a script, but there is command I need to run that wants a yes/no answer, how do I automaticly tell it yes on the command line so here is the hpmount /dev/sda  it wants a y or n, how do I say y to it?
[02:20] <ranok> Dick_Balls, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:20] <mwe> TimeForBears: you could use the xorg.conf from that or upgrade from 5.10. it's not an optimal solution though it should work

[02:20] <ICSNickError> Running Install...
[02:20] <hou5ton> TimeForBears:  do you have an ATI card too?
[02:20] <tach00> hello all
[02:21] <mwe> TimeForBears: I think it's a problem with xorg.conf but I don't know exactly what
[02:21] <Dick_Balls> ranok: NDis? What is that? Is it difficult to install/use/configure?
[02:21] <TimeForBears> hou5ton: no, nvidia
[02:21] <Dick_Balls> RAnok: Thanks ;)
[02:21] <ranok> Dick_Balls, if you follow the instructions, not at all
[02:21] <mwe> Technel: I'm lost as of why it would say the file is missing.
[02:21] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: you have an nvidia card?
[02:21] <ranok> Dick_Balls, no worries mate
[02:21] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: yes
[02:21] <Technel> mwe, Alright, I will go do it again and I will get a more detailed copy of the message
[02:22] <gnomefreak> Dick_Balls: change your nick please
[02:22] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: its a 6600gt, to be precise
[02:22] <mwe> ardchoille: don't you think it's odd he gets into xorg but it wont start gnome?
[02:22] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: did you upgrade the kernel since installing the nvidia drivers?
[02:22] <hou5ton> mwe: ... you got any more ideas for me? ..... before .... with the 1440x900 settings, it would boot to a black screen after login ... now it boots to the wallpaper, but still no sound or loading the rest of Gnome.
[02:22] <ardchoille> mwe: yes, quite odd. I would think an xorg prob would not even get him into gdm
[02:22] <TimeForBears> ardchoile: how?
[02:22] <mwe> right
[02:23] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: nvidia-kernel?
[02:23] <hou5ton> mwe:  I have to switch it back to 1024x768 to get it to finish
[02:23] <ICSNickError> jonbo, found you
[02:23] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: never mind, I doubt it's that anyway.. I was just hinking out loud
[02:23] <guest> Hey Guys I am having a little trouble installing, do you think you could help me?
[02:23] <ranok> ask away
[02:23] <mwe> hou5ton: I don't know what's up. everyone seems to have weird problems today
[02:23] <fdsd> d203, hmm, cool, but what is the usage, I just googled yes and bash, but it didnt give me what I was looking for
[02:23] <ardchoille> mwe: I still think gnome broke somehow
[02:24] <mwe> ardchoille: possibly
[02:24] <razorbuzz> mwe: Count me in on that.  I have a strange one, too
[02:24] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: do you have any other desktop or window managers on that box?
[02:24] <guest> I have no idea how to redo a partition that has info on it all ready
[02:24] <mwe> ardchoille: but even fail safe seems to be somewhat broken
[02:24] <hou5ton> mwe:  I know this probably doesn't make sense, but would it be any different perhaps if I tried xfce
[02:24] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: no
[02:25] <ardchoille> mwe: oh, well if failsafe is broken then it's likely not a gnome prob
[02:25] <guest> I want the PC to use that as the root and I have a swap form another linux that I want as swap.
[02:25] <guest> how do I do that?
[02:25] <d203> fdsd: pipe the output of yes into the command that requires a yes response
[02:25] <TimeForBears> archoille: my failsafe doesnt work either
[02:25] <mwe> hou5ton: I doubt it. try
[02:25] <fdsd> d203, ok
[02:25] <guest> I had no problem on kubuntu but on ubuntu I don't know how
[02:25] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: yeah, ok. Still this is odd
[02:26] <tach00> can someone help me with my keyboard, its like someone is pressing keys i am not pressing and skipping letters
[02:26] <Vraid> i installed ubuntu on my other machine, it worked fine except that i had problems connecting to the internet; irc had a lag of several minutes and i couldn't access anything with firefox
[02:26] <Vraid> what might the problem be?
[02:26] <tach00> its a glitch
[02:26] <johnccc> how do i password protect a folder?
[02:26] <razorbuzz> I've been usin tovid to convert videos and it filled my drive with files (192gb worth in /tmp). I deleted the files it created, then shutdown to avoid electrical issues during a storm. Upon turning the box back on, I can't get past the login screen in X.  After entering my pw, it flashes to a command prompt then back to the login page and gives an error saying I am out of space on the drive.  The files I deleted apparently didn't actually
[02:26] <fdsd> d203, hpmount /dev/sda <<< yes is that proper?
[02:26] <razorbuzz> Suggestions? Solutions? Hints?
[02:26] <guest> anyone help me?
[02:27] <mwe> Vraid: the network setup :)
[02:27] <d203> fdsd: try yes | hpmount /dev/sda
[02:27] <ardchoille> johnccc: edit the perms to be only readable to you ?
[02:27] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: yes, it's odd.... it's also 1.30 am
[02:27] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: so I'm going to give up and install 5.10
[02:27] <johnccc> what if the person is already on my account?
[02:28] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: a thought: post the problem on ubuntuforums and then get some sleep, just a suggestion :)
[02:28] <mwe> razorbuzz: fcsk the drive
[02:28] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: don't install 5.10 without trying the forums at least. Never know, someone may have an answer
[02:28] <jrib> fdsd: apt-get clean, may get you enough space to get in, but make sure you free up some more
[02:28] <Vraid> mwe: yeah but... what could be wrong with it? i'm not that good with networking
[02:28] <mwe> razorbuzz: fsck that is
[02:28] <tach00> can someone help me with my keyboard, its like someone is pressing keys i am not pressing and skipping letters
[02:29] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: ok, I'll post it
[02:29] <mwe> Vraid: I don't know. dhcp settings maybe
[02:29] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: :)
[02:29] <Fracture> I have a vfat mounted drive in /media, yet only root can write to it, how do I allow normal users to use it ?
[02:29] <razorbuzz> mwe: How will running a filesystem check help? (I'm not arguing..I just like learning the "why's" behind things so I know for the future.)
[02:30] <ICSNickError> Fracture, edit permissions?
[02:30] <mwe> razorbuzz: if it's reporting wrong free space maybe it's due to corruption
[02:30] <Fracture> ICSNickError: i've tried that, chmod 777 folder, and it doesn't do anything
[02:30] <razorbuzz> Ok.
[02:30] <technel> mwe: As it turns out, your command DID work, it was just that I saw the "error" and assumed it didn't work and didn't check it. Sorry about that, and thanks :)
[02:30] <ICSNickError> hrm
[02:30] <ICSNickError> idk then
[02:30] <Fracture> ICSNickError: the permissions are drwxr-xr-x
[02:30] <Fracture> ICSNickError: even after chmod 777
[02:31] <mwe> Fracture: you need to edit mount options
[02:31] <Fracture> mwe: which option do I need to set ?
[02:31] <Fracture> mwe: i've tried -o user
[02:31] <razorbuzz> mwe: Trying to run fsck and it warns me not to run it on a mounted drive..but trying to umount, it tells me the device is busy. Force it?
[02:31] <mwe> Fracture: permissions of mount points don't have any effect on mounted file systems
[02:31] <Vraid> mwe: well, i tried with static ip and entered the ip i get by dhcp on this computer (same network cable) and i could access, but slow. Changing to automatic made no difference
[02:31] <Fracture> mwe: nope, I chmod 777 a folder on the mounted drive
[02:31] <mwe> razorbuzz: yes. run it from a live cd if you can
[02:31] <razorbuzz> Ok.  Thanks
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: you can't on fat
[02:32] <void^> Fracture: vfat doesn't support permissions.
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: fat has no idea of file perms
[02:32] <i\o> I want to remove entrance from starting immediately on boot.. how can I do that?
[02:32] <Vraid> at first it had a hard time finding the dhcp
[02:32] <Fracture> void^: that's what I thought.. then how can I let  a non root user write to it ?
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: you need to mount it differently
[02:32] <void^> Fracture: use umask
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: -o umask=0222
[02:32] <Fracture> mwe: aaah
[02:33] <mwe> Fracture: or umask=0000 to let everybody write
[02:33] <Fracture> mwe, void^ : thanks

[02:35] <bluefoxicy> I want post-edgy to be *-Fox  :)
[02:35] <bimberi> i\o: does it have an initscript (in /etc/init.d/)?  If so 'sudo update-rc.d -f <initscript> remove'
[02:35] <xuser> Anyone know in what part of the livecd is the experienceubuntu video?
[02:36] <xuser> or what is the exact name?
[02:36] <i\o> bimberi, thanks!  Can I replace it with kdm somehow?
[02:36] <ardchoille> there's a video???
[02:36] <xuser> ardchoille: in the example dir.
[02:36] <bimberi> xuser: /usr/share/example-content ?
[02:36] <DonL> hi
[02:36] <jrib> bluefoxicy: do you know what the quote refers to?
[02:36] <xuser> bimberi: let me check.
[02:37] <mwe> i\o: be warned a lot of people seem to have had problems with kdm including myself
[02:37] <jrib> ardchoille: /etc/skel/Examples/ on an install, not sure on a live
[02:37] <ardchoille> bimberi: thanks for that.. never knew it existed.
[02:37] <bimberi> i\o: if it's installed
[02:37] <bimberi> ardchoille: np - lots of goodies in there :)
[02:37] <bluefoxicy> jrib:  Dapper breaking because 2-3 package updates the day before release shot it to shit
[02:38] <dekopolis> howdy
[02:38] <DonL> Anybody but me having problems running RealMedia files uner MPlayer?
[02:38] <ardchoille> jrib: yeah, /etc/skel/Examples is a symlink to /usr/share/example-content
[02:38] <jrib> DonL: you installed w32codecs?
[02:38] <jrib> ardchoille: oh :)
[02:38] <bluefoxicy> jrib:  bare-release dapper reportedly has broken printing and ATi drivers for a lot of people
[02:38] <ardchoille> I never knew those existed
[02:38] <DonL> Yup. Just got the latest from mplayer
[02:39] <bluefoxicy> jrib:  so half the time it just works, the other half it just sucks
[02:39] <mwe> well ati drivers are just broken for a lot of people in general :)
[02:40] <technel> I did an "apt-cache search irb" for the interactive Ruby (language) command line and it came up with ruby1.8, a package that I already installed, but for some reason it says that the command "irb" does not exist...why?
[02:40] <DonL> jrib, most of my problems are trying to stream from the BBC or the Australian ABC. I like the news features.
[02:40] <dekopolis> can anybody please help me uninstall a network card and reconfigure a new network card on ubu6.06server?
[02:40] <akcom> is /dev/fd0 usually a floppy drive?
[02:40] <mwe> technel: install irb maybe?
[02:41] <mwe> technel: irb1.9 to be precise
[02:41] <Jimmey> How can I set my computer up so that it can be controlled by a Windows XP machine? Like a remote desktop
[02:42] <mwe> akcom: yes
[02:42] <potremc> vnc?
[02:42] <akcom> ok, thank you.
[02:42] <wizardjames> hey um, i been setting up phpmyadmin for mysql.. and well, last time i used it was along time ago..and you could set what user could see things.. and i dont see that anymore
[02:42] <technel> mwe: Like I said, I tried "apt-cache search irb", but the only package that pops up is ruby1.8 -- I tried "apt-get install irb" and irb1.9, neither worked

[02:43] <mwe> technel: eneable universe
[02:43] <snoops> Jimmey yeah, you'll need vnc to control the gui, but you can always have like ssh and other things, if you want to use it as a server
[02:43] <dekopolis> Jimmey: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Remote_Desktop

[02:44] <Jimmey> mwe, what do you suggest, then

[02:48] <^catalyst> I need a simple favr
[02:48] <TimeForBears> ardchoille, have I left out anything silly?
[02:48] <razorbuzz> mwe: fsck ran clean, no errors.  Same thing happens trying to login now, except no error. It just flashes to a terminal, then back to the GDM login screen
[02:48] <hou5ton> ok ... get this ... now the display settings are RIGHT in xfce, but the sound isn't working.
[02:48] <^catalyst> this page https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12272 won't load for me, can someone follow it thru and gimme the link to the .tar.gz for ubuntu i386 ?
[02:48] <swim> hey folks, I'm trying to install e17 following the supposed latest directions on the forum... but whenever I try to login to e17 I get an error message telling me that /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment not found... anyone run into this before?
[02:48] <david__> I would like to run as root, but i don't know how
[02:48] <void^> AJR1: apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils
[02:48] <AJR1> Exposure: i need the internet to do that dont i, or just type in terminal?
[02:49] <mwe> razorbuzz: hmm
[02:49] <mwe> TimeForBears: good post
[02:49] <niki> david__, use sudo?
[02:49] <swim> or sudo su
[02:49] <AJR1> void^: dont i need my internet to do an apt-get?
[02:49] <mwe> TimeForBears: if you get desperate install 5.10 and save a copy of xorg.conf
[02:49] <niki> AJR1, yup
[02:49] <mwe> TimeForBears: then update from 5.10
[02:49] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: Looks good to me
[02:49] <swim> or a cd
[02:50] <david__> but everytime a program tries to write to a directory not under my home directory access is denied
[02:50] <^catalyst> run the program with sudo david__
[02:50] <mwe> david__: that good
[02:50] <TimeForBears> mwe: well, I'm off to bed now, but if the forum yields nothing, I will
[02:50] <TimeForBears> there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with my xorg.conf
[02:50] <mwe> david__: in linux normal users dont have permission to muck up the system
[02:51] <david__> im not a normal useer, im david, special user :)
[02:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: if not ubuntu is broken
[02:51] <sybariten> uhm, i need some help or guidance on how to mount a couple of additional disks i have in a ubuntu server
[02:51] <zooy0rk> is the i2c_sensor module missing from dapper?
[02:51] <alink1000> okay, something ain't right with the burning thing...
[02:51] <hou5ton> how can I check the sound settings in xfce?
[02:51] <TimeForBears> mwe: is it worth me posting it?
[02:51] <sybariten> you can see the permissions for the mount points here ....  http://pastebin.ca/77415
[02:51] <ardchoille> david__: I use dvdrip and I did: sudo mkdir /home/movies && sudo chown username:username /home/movies and I use that dir with dvdrip
[02:51] <alink1000> I went and installed that recommended burner on the wiki on how to burn to a CD, right?
[02:52] <TimeForBears> mwe: on paste I mean
[02:52] <tonyyarusso> I need a desktop publishing program that will run on Ubuntu and Windows.  Does anyone have a recommendation besides Scribus, or is that probably the best?
[02:52] <ICSNickError> how can i change my resolution to something other than 640x480?
[02:52] <alink1000> so I put ubuntu on the new compliation
[02:52] <TimeForBears> mwe: the only problem with that is that I have to type it out
[02:52] <ICSNickError> like 1024x768
[02:52] <alink1000> and I click burn
[02:52] <alink1000> but it says no media is in the selected drive.
[02:52] <alink1000> :S
[02:52] <sybariten> my first question is if the ownership of the dirs under /mnt/ is important at all ....  and the permissions
[02:52] <FunkyDiscoMan> Lo
[02:52] <sybariten> or if that will change once i do the mount
[02:52] <alink1000> well?
[02:52] <mwe> TimeForBears: yes why not though its hard to spot errors not knowing the system well
[02:52] <mwe> oh
[02:53] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, system > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[02:53] <alink1000> can someone help me with my problem here?
[02:53] <ICSNickError> i only have the 640x480 option on that
[02:53] <TimeForBears> mwe: sod it, tomorrow if necessary. I have to work tomorrow... you know, for moeny :p
[02:53] <ardchoille> mwe: does TimeForBears prob have anything to do with the fact that it is a 64 bit system?
[02:53] <FunkyDiscoMan> ICSNickError, if you cant select the resolution you need run debconf
[02:53] <mwe> TimeForBears: heh. yeah
[02:54] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, you probley need to reconfigure xorg then to allow those resolutions. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:54] <skavenge> alink1000: what are you trying to do now? burn the iso in windows?
[02:54] <alink1000> yes
[02:54] <mwe> ardchoille: well at least the 64bit version is less mature
[02:54] <alink1000> on CDBurnerXP Pro 3
[02:54] <alink1000> :)
[02:54] <gnomefreak> swim: heres a great link this is the way i do it http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97199
[02:55] <FunkyDiscoMan> ICSNickError follow DarkMageZ's  "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then reboot X with <ctl><alt><backspace>
[02:55] <ICSNickError> n/m that
[02:55] <alink1000> okay, skavenge, can you help me?
[02:55] <swim> gnomefreak: yah that's what I followed... oddly I still get that error
[02:55] <skavenge> alink1000: this isnt that hard, if the program can burn from an iso you put the cd in, select 'burn from iso/image' and its done
[02:55] <hou5ton> how can I check the sound settings in xfce?
[02:55] <gnomefreak> swim: whats the error?
[02:56] <mwe> hou5ton: alsamixer
[02:56] <swim> gnomefreak:  /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment not found
[02:56] <skavenge> alink1000: it has to be 'burn from iso/image' .. just dropping the .iso on the cd does nothing
[02:56] <ICSNickError> on the install, how can i go to the next page after i select the language(resolution doesn't all ow me to see buttons)
[02:56] <gnomefreak> swim: on dapper?
[02:56] <swim> gnomefreak: yes
[02:56] <mwe> ICSNickError: press return
[02:56] <alink1000> it's on CDBurnerXP Pro 3, and when I click "Burn" it says "No media inserted in the selected device". :S
[02:56] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, hold the alt key and drag the window :)
[02:57] <ardchoille> hou5ton: there is a sound button in the xfce settings manager
[02:57] <gnomefreak> swim: give me a few i have some things to do before i get to it but iirc there is something you do to make that word
[02:57] <skavenge> alink1000: that has nothing to do with linux you need to ask that in a windows channel then, thats the burning programs problem in windows
[02:57] <hou5ton> mwe:  that opens the bar graphs ... but no way to change them
[02:57] <mwe> hou5ton: oh
[02:57] <swim> gnomefreak: great thanks a lot
[02:57] <alink1000> no, it's the burning program
[02:57] <hou5ton> ardchoille:  not in mine
[02:57] <gnomefreak> swim: you used the script?
[02:57] <alink1000> that I was linked to by the ubuntu wiki
[02:57] <alink1000> on how to burn the iso onto a CD.
[02:57] <alink1000> :P
[02:57] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: can you place the mouse at that edge of the screen and have the screen scroll?
[02:58] <swim> gnomefreak: yah, followed that howto to the letter
[02:58] <alink1000> CDBurnerXP Pro 3 is the program; it's nothing to do with windows.
[02:58] <skavenge> alink1000: well its obviously not recognizing that you have a blank cdr in there or the program is pointing to the wrong drive
[02:58] <ICSNickError> ardchoille, let me check
[02:58] <mwe> well good night all
[02:58] <alink1000> hm
[02:58] <FunkyDiscoMan> Anybody know how to change the poll rate for usb mice/ mouse(s), is it compiled into the 2.6 kernel ?
[02:59] <skavenge> alink1000: nero or any other program that can burn from an iso/image can do this as well its not like you need that specific program either
[02:59] <gnomefreak> swim: run this gksudo gedit /etc/environment
[02:59] <gnomefreak> swim: let me know when it opens
[02:59] <swim> gnomefreak: opened
[02:59] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, if you hold down the alt key, and drag the install window around so u can see the buttons :)
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/opt/e17/bin
[03:00] <swim> gnomefreak: i've looked in /opt/e17/bin and there is no enlightenment in there
[03:00] <skavenge> its pretty hard for me to troubleshoot this anyway since its in windows and i dont even run it on any of my machines heh
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: add that whole thing to the bottom
[03:00] <swim> yes the PATH is correct...
[03:00] <hou5ton> one would think there should be a "Sounds" button in the xfce Settings Manager ... but it's not there.  Is it supposed to be?
[03:00] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, you can click on almost any part of the window and make it move :)
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: its there?
[03:00] <swim> gnomefreak:  the PATH?
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: yes that whole line i gave you
[03:01] <ardchoille> hou5ton: perhaps someone in #xubuntu would know, but I figured that button wold be a vital one
[03:01] <swim> gnomefreak: yes it is
[03:01] <zooy0rk> is the i2c_sensor module missing from dapper? or is it compiled into the kernel?
[03:01] <gnomefreak> \swit should be at the bottom of that file
[03:01] <gnomefreak> swim: even
[03:01] <swim> gnomefreak:  it is... that's what the howto says to do... so I have done it
[03:01] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, only works with left alt tho, so if it hasn't been working with right alt, that's why =D
[03:02] <ardchoille> DarkMageZ: I forgot about the ALT and drag
[03:02] <ardchoille> lol
[03:02] <FunkyDiscoMan>  modprobe -l | grep i2c
[03:02] <razorbuzz> Is there a way to check drive freespace from the terminal?
[03:02] <gnomefreak> swim: i dont know than im just starting on it it worked about 2 weeks ago for me
[03:02] <skavenge> razorbuzz: df
[03:03] <swim> gnomefreak: but it doesnt really matter since "enligtenment" is not in /opt/e17/bin... and no where else for that matter
[03:03] <razorbuzz> Thanks skavenge
[03:03] <alink1000> well I'm out
[03:03] <alink1000> bai everyone
[03:03] <zooy0rk> FunkyDiscoMan, was that for me?
[03:03] <skavenge> np
[03:03] <FunkyDiscoMan> yup
[03:03] <gnomefreak> swim: running the script automaticly adds it there maybe the script is messed up and i cant install it on this box i just found out :(
[03:04] <zooy0rk> FunkyDiscoMan, I already know that i2c-sensor.ko is not on my machine ... I was wondering if something was wrong personally with my machine or if the module is not included with dapper or if possibly it has been compiled into the kernel
[03:04] <FunkyDiscoMan> lsmod will show you what you have loaded
[03:04] <ardchoille> Time for dinner, bbiab :)
[03:05] <zooy0rk> right
[03:05] <zooy0rk> its not there
[03:05] <razorbuzz> skavenge: thoughts on how to go about diagnosing where files are that are bogging the system down?
[03:06] <razorbuzz> I deleted the stuff, but it's not in the trash file, so I'm at a loss for where the real problem is
[03:06] <AJR1> need help installing ndiswrapper from .tar.gz
[03:06] <AJR1> please
[03:06] <jpanegasser> can someone help me with downgrading mysql5 to mysql 4?
[03:06] <skavenge> AJR1: ndiswrapper is in the repos why are you installing from source
[03:07] <zooy0rk> i already checked /boot/config-2.6.15-25-amd64-generic but I2C_SENSOR isn't even present ...
[03:07] <AJR1> skavenge: i need ndis to setup the wifi in ubuntu
[03:08] <skavenge> AJR1: again, if you have the universe and multiverse repositories turned on you can 'sudo apt-get install ndis-utils' instead of compiling it from source

[03:09] <AJR1> skavenge: i get " Reading .... done ... Building ... Done .... E: Couldnt find package ndis-utils"
[03:09] <skavenge> actually ndis-utils is in the base packages isnt it?

[03:22] <dli> lib8264q, a directory named ... ?
[03:22] <lib8264q> no warning messages at all
[03:22] <OHPhoneGuy> Desire?
[03:22] <lib8264q> lol
[03:22] <dstyrk> Is there a command I am not typing?
[03:22] <dli> lib8264q, sudo apt-get -f install kubuntu-desktop
[03:23] <skavenge> AJR1: you said it was aethoros based, is that the actual brand though? brand and model number would help
[03:23] <lib8264q> if i wanted the full desktop ;)
[03:23] <alex_> hey wow k3b kinda owns
[03:23] <lib8264q> just want the core
[03:23] <dstyrk> How do I get to the desktop?!!!!!
[03:23] <AJR1> skavenge: its a netgear w3111t
[03:23] <razorbuzz> dstyrk: startx
[03:23] <skavenge> AJR1: good okay 1 second
[03:23] <lib8264q> dst  try startx#
[03:23] <lib8264q> startx
[03:23] <Penguin_> hello
[03:23] <AJR1> skavenge: ok ty
[03:23] <dli> dstyrk, can you select Sessions (to gnome fail safe), before typing username to login in gdm?
[03:24] <boga> The sound recorder in GNOME says my settings are invalid, yet I can record from the command line. Any help?
[03:24] <sybariten> what mount syntax would i need for a w95 drive, to make it writable by normal users?  A FAT drive i mean.
[03:24] <Penguin_> is there any way to boot the dapper install livecd directly to a text terminal?
[03:24] <ICSNickError> my installationb hung again when i clicked OK
[03:24] <mikal-laptop> Hi. I have a Via Eden and when I try to boot the install CD it freezes at the splash screen. Any hints?
[03:24] <dstyrk> dli What does that mean?  I don't know much about Linux yet
[03:24] <ICSNickError> on the language part
[03:24] <sybariten> i know that the fstab entry can be quite hairy
[03:25] <dli> dstyrk, at the login prompt (graphic one), there's a place called either " Options ", or "Sessions", click to select
[03:25] <dstyrk> dli... I am trying to get to the graphic one..
[03:25] <dli> dstyrk, do you have the graphic one yet?
[03:25] <luke> anyone know of a bit torrent client that will run on Command Line Interface?
[03:26] <razorbuzz> any suggestions on how to clean out unnecessary files?  My / has become full of garbage from lost files and now I can't even start an X session
[03:26] <mikal-laptop> rtorrent
[03:26] <luke> ty
[03:26] <skavenge> AJR1: okay, there are two sets of .inf and .sys files we need from the cd, athfmwdl and wg111t .. so there should be 4 files we need with an inf and sys in each of those names
[03:26] <dstyrk> dli I followed the alternate instructions.
[03:26] <dstyrk> on screen that is.
[03:27] <dli> razorbuzz, I suggest you to boot livecd, and fsck
[03:27] <AJR1> skavenge: yep .inf and .sys with those names are right infront olf me
[03:27] <razorbuzz> dii: Already have
[03:27] <skavenge> AJR1: drag the 4 of them onto the desktop, so they copy
 type man fstab in console if you want to learn otherwise give me shout in a couple of min
[03:28] <dstyrk> dli: Well any ideas?
[03:28] <AJR1> skavenge: there is the .inf and the .sys, the only other two files with the same names are .cat do u want the .cats too that would make 4?
[03:28] <dli> razorbuzz, you may try to reinstall x packages :)
[03:28] <dli> dstyrk, do you have the graphic login prompt (gdm) yet?
[03:29] <skavenge> AJR1: we should have a  athfmwdl.sys and athfmwdl.inf  and wg111t.sys and wg111t.sys
[03:29] <razorbuzz> dli: I don't believe it to be an error with the X packages. The / partition is simply full and causing issues (190gb full)
[03:29] <dstyrk> dli: no.. Haven't got that far.. I thought that after the reboot from the install would have taken me there.. What do I need to do?
[03:29] <skavenge> AJR1: sorry one of those wg111t.sys was spose to be .inf
[03:29] <AJR1> skavenge: sorry m8 yep mis understood you got them now ... dragged onto this lovely looking ubuntu desktop :)
[03:29] <dli> razorbuzz, I see, you have to clean up, nothing will run without free space
[03:29] <skavenge> AJR1: so we got all four there? open a terminal and do a 'cd Desktop'
[03:30] <razorbuzz> dli: And thus is my issue..what to clean up?  Where would the files be hiding?  I deleted them from /tmp, but they never appeared in the trash to clear from there
[03:30] <dli> dstyrk, login at console (non-graphic one), do: sudo apt-get -f install ubuntu-desktop
[03:30] <AJR1> skavenge: ok ..
[03:30] <dstyrk> dli: thanks
[03:30] <AJR1> skavenge: done ...;
[03:30] <ICSNickError> how do i install from graphic safe mode
[03:30] <lonegeek> can someone tell me what does fmt-support mean?
[03:31] <dli> razorbuzz, df -h
[03:31] <skavenge> AJR1: 'sudo ndiswrapper -i athfmwdl.inf'
[03:31] <dli> ICSNickError, it's part of gnome :)
[03:31] <AJR1> ok says "installing athxxx"
[03:31] <AJR1> skavenge: ok says "installing athxxx"
[03:31] <dstyrk> dli: it is now asking for a disk I do not have..  Or will the alternate CD work?
[03:32] <skavenge> AJR1: okay no errors though? you'll get some lines of text
[03:32] <AJR1> skavenge@ now its back to the type thing
[03:32] <dli> dstyrk, do you have network?
[03:32] <razorbuzz> dli: It shows that, as suspected, /dev/hda3 has all 190gb in use, and over 750gb free on the remaining 3 physical drives and 100gb free on /dev/hda1&2
[03:32] <AJR1> skavenge: no errors, just said installing athxxx and nothing ...
[03:32] <skavenge> AJR1: good now 'sudo ndiswrapper -i wg111t.inf'
[03:32] <cyphase> what does everyone think about having a central daemon/api/whatever for accessing/storing/etc music, photos, etc
[03:32] <lonegeek> Why would selecting a previous kernel allow linux to boot as opposed to the most recent? Does that mean something?
[03:32] <cyphase> not neccesarily 1 for everything, but something like that..
[03:33] <dstyrk> Umm.. internet?  I just put the alternte CD in.. It's running.. I don't know if its right or not
[03:33] <AJR1> skavenge: yeah done ...
[03:33] <dli> razorbuzz, then, you need to find out what's taking so much space there
[03:33] <cyphase> lonegeek, maybe the new one didn't install well
[03:33] <skavenge> AJR1: what does 'ndiswrapper -l' tell you?
[03:33] <cyphase> possibly the install process crashed or something?
[03:34] <Jimmey> Is there any way to connect to a vnc server through a web browser?
[03:34] <dli> razorbuzz, try, du -sh /usr /lib /bin /sbin /opt /home
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: athxxx - driver present | netwg11t driver present, hardware present
[03:34] <razorbuzz> dli:  Is there a way to list the size of different folders to help me narrow down where the pull stuff from?
[03:34] <skavenge> AJR1: good, 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'
[03:34] <lonegeek> cyphase: well it had worked before...now i get running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) fmt-support   and it just hangs there..... so i select previous kernel and tada its fine
[03:34] <cyphase> hmm
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: ok
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: done
[03:34] <skavenge> AJR1: get any lights on it or anything?
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: ermmm lemme look
[03:35] <cyphase> so? anyone?
[03:35] <dli> dstyrk, if it's connected, install via network
[03:35] <dstyrk> dli:  Umm.. internet?  I just put the alternte CD in.. It's running.. I don't know if its right or not
[03:35] <dstyrk> ah..
[03:35] <AJR1> skavenge: yeah its flashing away
[03:35] <dstyrk> Yes it's connected.
[03:35] <exile> May I ask a question?
[03:35] <skavenge> AJR1: try a webpage or something
[03:35] <dstyrk> dli:  How do I do it?
[03:35] <dli> dstyrk, clean up your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:35] <dli> !easysource > dstyrk
[03:35] <AJR1> skavenge: oh my god :) yeahh it works man!!
[03:35] <AJR1> skavenge: thanks :)
[03:35] <skavenge> AJR1: congrats

[03:36] <shiva> wifi card
[03:36] <razorbuzz> dli:  Great command! du is not one I knew before and it broke down the allocations fantastically!  Didn't show me where the files where, I suppose I need to du -sh a few more directories to find the culprit, but that put me well on my way
[03:36] <razorbuzz> Thanks so much!
[03:36] <dstyrk> dli:  I'm lost, and very new to this.
[03:36] <alindeman> Anyone know what's running on my ports 37368 and 43065?  I did a full port scan on localhost, and those two came up.  Both respond to telnet, but I can't immeadiately tell what protocol it is

[03:37] <skavenge> AJR1: no dont use msn.. and offhand, your going to have to run 'modprobe ndiswrapper' evertime, UNLESS you edit /etc/modules and add 'ndiswrapper' to the bottom ..
[03:37] <Jimmey> brett_, lsusb
[03:37] <shiva> where x is the if number for your ipw
[03:37] <alindeman> brett_: lsusb maybe
[03:37] <AJR1> skavenge: ok so edit /etc/modules and add "ndiswrapper"
[03:37] <KhatVong> dli, i did that and nothing happened
[03:37] <dli> dstyrk, ask ubotu about easysource, you need to make a new /etc/apt/sources.list, then upgrade
[03:37] <AJR1> skavenge: can you help me out on another front plz if its ok
[03:37] <shiva> KhatVong might also try some iwconfig
[03:37] <brett_> I see the list...  not sure which one is my ext hard drive...
[03:37] <dli> KhatVong, now, " lsmod|grep ipw "
[03:38] <skavenge> AJR1: yes, you may need sudo before it say 'sudo gedit /etc/modules' will work for sure then add ndiswrapper to the bottom and saave

[03:38] <dli> KhatVong, now, you have the driver, run " sudo iwconfig "
[03:39] <Jimmey> mount it, brett_
[03:39] <^catalyst> brett_: where is it mounted?
[03:39] <Jimmey> !mount
[03:39] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[03:39] <skavenge> AJR1: whats the error, ill try and help if i can but i only have one drive one OS so this is not my area of expertise .. ive done my share of ndiswrapper though heh
[03:39] <brett_> I'm not sure it is mounted....  I see it in the Gnome guyi
[03:39] <brett_> gui that is.... but not in terminal
[03:39] <dstyrk> dli: They told me this was going to be easy... This has been a pain in the but from day one..   I have no idea what you are talking about with the easysource and what not.
[03:39] <^catalyst> whats in your /media directory?
[03:39] <exile> Can someone help me?
[03:39] <FunkyDiscoMan> !easysource
[03:40] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:40] <KhatVong> lo, sit0 and eth0 are no wireless extension, eth1 is the wireless card, it also list some of the wireless info
[03:40] <brett_> It was in /media.... thanks.
[03:40] <dli> KhatVong, now, you can configure your eth1 up
