[13:26] <mm_work> FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: the thing that bugs me most to be honest is that 8.04.1=yay np happy funtime and now with 8.10=alot less funtime :<
[13:26] <susscorfa> danbhfive: thx removing the old kernal works
[13:26] <kop_regr> frybye, did you try scan folder and the select /media/disk ?
[13:27] <frybye> i scanned the file system and then...
[13:27] <qowao> found it
[13:27] <mwob> Hello all. Can anyone help me troubleshoot why installing 8.10 x64 hangs?
[13:28] <mm_work> mwob: where does it hang?
[13:28] <qowao> great now i have geany
[13:28] <xnv> Which package do I need to get bash man pages?
[13:28] <bundzc1> i installed ubuntu 8.10 and gnome keeps freezing
[13:29] <bundzc1> i can't write any input text and no buttons work
[13:29] <jenda> How do I convert my .xmodmap file to be compatible with the new settings in Intrepid Ibex, as recommended in the release notes?
[13:29] <bundzc1> it's stabe for about 10mins, then everything stops
[13:29] <qowao> cool thing dr_willis , like the console integration
[13:29] <soho> somebody that has cmi8738-sound and a working mic in ubuntu?
[13:29] <qowao> terminal*
[13:29] <kop_regr> xnv, should be included in the bash package already, but there's also a bash-doc package
[13:30] <mwob> mm_work. When installing from the CD, and choosing "install", it tries to boot into the GUI and hangs when the mouse pointer first appears
[13:30] <qowao> what i dont like dr_willis, i need a keyboard shortcut for TOGGLE ALL ADDITIONAL WIDGETS
[13:30] <soho> bundzc1; does this also happen with the livecd?
[13:30] <dr_willis> qowao,  what widgets?
[13:31] <qowao> FOUND IT dr_willis
[13:31] <mwob> Tried the alt install, that went through and finished, but when I try to start ubuntu, it does the same thing - hangs when it first tries to start X I think
[13:31] <qowao> i can set up keybindings as i like
[13:31] <frybye> kop_regr: when i do a scan folder and went to that "disk=" partition - it produces same result 4.7g and 100%
[13:31] <qowao> VIEW >> TOGGLE ALL ADD....
[13:31] <bundzc1> soho: i haven't tries, but i think not. i used the live cd just to install
[13:31] <Pici> !caps | qowao
[13:31] <frybye> kop_regr: imho should be about 4.7 and 4+%
[13:32] <kop_regr> frybye, did you try df -h on the command line ?
[13:32] <qowao> only one problem, it does not take my entered keys
[13:32] <qowao> just doesnt react
[13:32] <qowao> what is this
[13:32] <soho> bundzc1; could be a couple of reasons, could even be a hardware-failure. maybe first try to disable compiz and other graphical stuff and see if this helps
[13:32] <frybye> no - but have no idea how to do that...?
[13:32] <soho> also try livecd
[13:32] <frybye> I mean what is the whole command...?
[13:33] <bundzc1> soho: it was happening also before i enabled the effects
[13:33] <jos_> no sound in youre tube is flash broken
[13:33] <grgkaklas> is anyone here to help with internet problem?
[13:33] <mm_work> mwob: sounds like you have some incompatible hardware, did you try stripping the machine down to just monitor, LAN, keyboard and mouse?
[13:33] <frybye> df -h is the whole thing .. and that produces a pie diagramme...?
[13:33] <bundzc1> but, when i first installed ubuntu,  it didn't want to load the ati driver
[13:33] <qowao> ok have to type them in nstead of press them in
[13:33] <qowao> thx
[13:33] <mwob> mm_work. Yeah, whats weird is its a pretty standard machine spec. And Hardy worked too.
[13:34] <soho> bundzc1; so it could be a graphic-problem, you have to figure out that
[13:34] <kop_regr> frybye, go to Application -> Accessories -> Terminal     in the command line that will appear, type    df -h
[13:34] <benjie> hello
[13:34] <kaklas> anyone to help me with internet problem?
[13:34] <kop_regr> frybye, you should see one entry for /media/disk with actual usage
[13:34] <BanjoX> 'm having a problem I've never had before: I had Ubuntu/Vista dual boot, recently installed xp over vista, and now I can't reinstall grub or even install 8.10...(64 or 32 bit versions) The partition editor simply doesn't see any partitions on my first hdd
[13:34] <frybye> ok i know where the console is..
[13:34] <benjie> anyone who knows how to work with sigma tel sound drivers ?
[13:35] <frybye> I just wanted to see if there was a utility with a pretty pie diagramme that actually worked..

[13:35] <qowao> hey how would i change the default editor from GEDIT to somethign else, geany in my case?
[13:35] <mm_work> mwob: what gfx do you have?
[13:35] <bundzc1> soho: how can i do that ? i'm a newbie
[13:35] <kop_regr> frybye, i know. but the tool i indicated to you is working for me. so i don't know why it's not working for you
[13:35] <pcgigi70> !list
[13:35] <ipodman715> I syndicate the following:
[13:35] <BanjoX> jos_ too loud
[13:35] <xnv> kop_regr: Well, maybe my question was wrong... I'm wondering why things like alias and set aren't in my man pages
sorry
[13:36] <soho> bundzc1; sry, do not have ati, i cannot help you with that
[13:36] <kop_regr> xnv, did you try man bash-builtins ?
[13:36] <mwob> mm_work: 256MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro NVS 290 (ULGA8), Dual Monitor DVI or VGA Graphics Card
[13:36] <frybye> kop_regr: this command is good - forget the gui.. just that when I am evangelizing amongst windows folks it is good to be able to show them gui stuff that works.. heheh
[13:36] <Deiselton> hey guys is there a way when ubuntu starts up to get X11 and my nvidia drivers to execute s simple if statment that says: if(2 displays are detected){use display thats not my laptop LCD and disable laptop LCD} ?
[13:36] <xnv> kop_regr: That shows up fine
[13:36] <qowao> hey how would i change the default editor from GEDIT to somethign else, geany in my case?
[13:37] <kaklas> dual boot with vista and ubuntu 8.10, i connect at my wireless network, and i get a notification that i am connected, but when i open firefox, i get an error cannot open page

[13:37] <jrib> !defaultapp | qowao
[13:37] <Pici> qowao: Or right click on the file, go to preferences and modify it there.
[13:37] <diellon> hi man
[13:37] <qowao> thx friends
[13:37] <UserC> launcher problem, can anyone help me?
[13:37] <diellon> 7.2.8
[13:37] <qowao> but i dont wanna change it for all filetypes!
[13:38] <qowao> i want it in general
[13:38] <qowao> replace GEDIT by GEANY
[13:38] <diellon> 2.3.4
[13:38] <qowao> since GEDIT opens many filetypes per default
[13:38] <jin_> if you are running Intrepid amd64 and installwed vmware. can you install windows xp 32bit in vmware? or I must install xp 64bit?
[13:38] <kop_regr> frybye, well.. when it's working, Disk analyzer does some very nice graphs :-)
[13:38] <frybye> different ? - in a large peer 2 peer network (70+ clients and no server..!) I was able to use the dchp to get a dynamic ip which worked fine for an hour .. then it broke.. so i set up a manual ip that also worked for an hour and that broke..the netmask keeps changin to "24"
[13:38] <mwob> jin_: Yes you can, either 32 or 64
[13:38] <chadeldridge> jin_:  any
[13:38] <jin_> sweet
[13:39] <frybye> and the net connection is dropped.. chage it back and it instantly gets broken again - and again...
[13:39] <xnv> kop_regr: But still not man alias, man set, man cd, etc.
[13:39] <chadeldridge> frybye: 24 = <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:39] <ccc> hi. im got intripid, but now the volume of sound is low, and the output for external case don't work. help me
[13:39] <diellon> i have in ubutu the theme cool for desktop
[13:39] <frybye> ok that is what i had entered - but the net connection still dont work....
[13:39] <Pici> xnv: Because those are not programs, they are part of bash
[13:39] <kop_regr> xnv, if you do 'man bash-builtins' you will get the help for all those  commands. if you want only the specific command, you can type 'help command', not man
[13:40] <frybye> or better said - worked for an hour and then broke...
[13:40] <jrib> xnv: try 'help alias'
[13:40] <mm_work> mwob: I'm sorry, but i see no reason it would freeze unless ofcourse you have a cursed mouse/keyboard
[13:40] <ccc> help me please
[13:40] <UserC> i can't use a command using a launcher when the command works in terminal, can anyone help me?
[13:40] <xnv> Pici, kop_regr: Hmm, OK, but I've definitely seen man pages for those things before. Is there a reason they've been removed?
[13:41] <Pici> xnv: I've never seen man pages for them, so I don't know.
[13:41] <frybye> chad of course a (school-) network with 70+ clients and no server is a disaster in general but that is a different story..
[13:41] <xnv> Pici: Google still has them
[13:41] <Deiselton> hey guys is there a way when ubuntu starts up to get X11 and my nvidia drivers to execute s simple if statment that says: if(2 displays are detected){use display thats not my laptop LCD and disable laptop LCD} ?
[13:41] <mwob> mm_work. Ok thanks, I'll hack around a bit...
[13:41] <chadeldridge> frybye: lots of things could cause that issue, sounds like a network cascade failure or a broadcast flood killing your hub ... may want to check the cards to make sure they are all installed correctly and none are set to the wrong mode (all should be on the same duplex)
[13:41] <ikonia> Deiselton: I've done that int he past with dccprobe
[13:41] <jrib> xnv: if you want a man page, it's 'man bash'.  But what you probably really want is 'help NAMED_OF_BUILTIN'
[13:42] <mm_work> Anyone got a way of avoiding Ubuntu 8.10 giving me low-graphics mode when not using a monitor?
[13:42] <jos_> ubuntu 8.10 no sound you tube????? were to go sound is working in other apps
[13:42] <frybye> ok - I will pass this on to my college.. (he does the sys-admin job - more or less.. heheh)
[13:42] <qowao> hey i wanna replace GEDIT by GEANY in gerneal, not for each and every fieltype by hand. how could i do it? i want geany as my default editor, since gedit opens many different filetypes per default
[13:42] <dr_willis> mm_work,  manually edit the xorg.conf and put in a MODE line. is somtthinv ive seen KVM users use
[13:42] <xnv> jrib, Pici, kop_regr: Ah, I installed manpages-posix and manpages-posix-dev and it works now
[13:42] <mm_work> dr_willis: alright, ill try that again, tried it earlier, but who knows :D
[13:43] <mm_work> under the "monitor" section right?
[13:44] <Oprtz1> how to enable urdu fonts in firefox?
[13:44] <dr_willis> mm_work,  i forget.. I alwasy have to find some old example xorg.conf files
[13:44] <danbhfive> qowao: heh, you want to remove the gedit executable, and put a symlink to geany?
[13:44] <prodigel> hi all. my numeric keyboard works as mouse pointer and I can't make it work normally. I've looked in preferences/accessibility and all seems fine. I'm using ubuntu8.10
[13:44] <qowao> danbhfive: i dont know .. really?
[13:44] <jrib> xnv: you're right, I have those man pages.  I'm sure I didn't have them before intrepid though :/
[13:44] <mwob> dr_willis: Thanks. How do I start Ubuntu without it loading "X", so I can VIM that file?
[13:45] <qowao> danbhfive: must be some neater solutions =/
[13:45] <jrib> prodigel: ctrl-shift-numlock
[13:45] <dr_willis> mwob,  you can edit it from X if you wanted.. or just go to the console with alt-ctrl-f1
[13:45] <Oprtz1> i cant view urdu fonts at www.bbc.com/urdu how to use urdu fonts in forefox thanks
[13:45] <danbhfive> qowao: well, that would work, I would think.  Then, every call to gedit would instead call geany
[13:45] <dr_willis> mwob,  or kill the gdm/kdm service
[13:45] <mm_work> dr_willis: could you point me to an online modeline generator? had my hands on one yesterday, now i cant find it :/
[13:45] <qowao> danbhfive: but thats a dirty hack
[13:45] <prodigel> jrib, thanks! that was fast ;)
[13:45] <UserC> i can't use a command using a launcher when the command works in terminal, can anyone help me?
[13:45] <mwob> dr_willis: Thats the prob, I can't get to X :) Because it hangs. I'll try the alt-ctrl-f1 thing though
[13:46] <jrib> prodigel: there's some option in the menus too if you care
[13:46] <ccc> problem with audio help me
[13:46] <kop_regr> mwob, you can choose at the GRUB boot menu the Recovery option. then you can "drop to a shell" in the menu, and it will not start X
[13:47] <Oprtz1> what is the command to enable internal wirless adaptor in ubuntu, its Intel Wireless Pro 945 adaptor
[13:47] <Deiselton> ikonia: how does that work?...
[13:47] <mm_work> dr_willis: rebooting the box now, lets see if it works :)
[13:47] <jrib> qowao: you can try: sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-text-editor
[13:48] <ikonia> Deiselton I put an init script before X that basiclly did a dcc probe, if it returned 1 result (laptop screen) set xorg config to xorg.conf.laptop if it detected more than one set xorg.conf to xorg.conf.multihead
[13:48] <ikonia> Deiselton: thats a little obsolete now with xorg being dynamic
[13:48] <mwob> kop_regr: Thanks :)
[13:49] <prodigel> jrib, is it in assistive technologies? I've searched for it there and I don't see it
[13:49] <juncong> j
[13:49] <juncong> hello
[13:49] <jrib> prodigel: system -> preferences -> keyboard -> mouse keys
[13:50] <platius> qowao; right click on any file icon and click, tab open, with then choose what you want to open that type of file with
[13:50] <qowao> platius: i want it automatically!!
[13:50] <cyr> ok so I upgraded to intrepid, and xorg is fracked up, I tried Xorg -configure which was complaining about those two drivers that are now obsolete (removed them) and the last time I've tried it, it just blanks the screen and never returns control.  I've got two matrox MII cards
[13:50] <killer> ikonia: so xorg has a built in way to do that?... cause i have xorg.conf set to only use an external monitor.. but if there isnt on it automatically resets to using the laptop screen... only problem is it rewrites it .conf so it wont try the external next time i boot and i have to reset everything
[13:50] <qowao> i jsut cant replace this godammmn gedit!??
[13:50] <platius> qowao; right click on any file icon and click, tab open with, then choose what you want to open that type of file with
[13:50] <ikonia> killer it auto detects now
[13:50] <mm_work> dr_willis: (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00@00:02:0 - (EE) No devices detected.  :/
[13:50] <jrib> qowao: did you try what I said?
[13:50] <qowao> jrib: what did you say, change any filetype by hand??
[13:50] <Bracki> How can I force display detection?
[13:50] <jrib> qowao: you can try: sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-text-editor
[13:51] <qowao> ooh missed that
[13:51] <ikonia> Brack it does it automaticlly
[13:51] <heinrich> is there any way to change resolution via console?
[13:51] <cyr> what's the best way to force reconfigure of Xorg, I've tried displayconfigure-gtk (I can get X running in a very minimal configuration)
[13:51] <snip3r> hey guys, i got a problem with firefox, it flashes white whenever somethin is click!!!! can anyone help
[13:51] <platius> qowao; it will open that type of file with what you choose thereafter, until you change it again
[13:51] <ikonia> heinrich frambuffer vga boot options
[13:51] <qowao> jrib: nothing happend
[13:51] <Bracki> No. After configuring NIS/NFS the display is back to undetected.
[13:51] <qowao> platius: i dont wanna do it for all file types BY HAND!
[13:52] <heinrich> ikonia hmm ok, I have no idea what to do^^
[13:52] <platius> qowao; sniff
[13:52] <thorerik> hi
[13:52] <jrib> qowao: what do you mean "nothing happened"?  Something has to happen when you run a command.  What exactly happened?
[13:52] <ikonia> heinrich: with what ?
[13:52] <qowao> jrib There is only 1 program which provides gnome-text-editor
[13:52] <qowao> (/usr/bin/gedit). Nothing to configure.
[13:52] <dulak> snip3r: go to Edit->Preferences->Advanced and turn off "use smooth scrolling" and see if that fixes it
[13:52] <heinrich> ikonia how to edit frambuffer vga boot options? =P
[13:52] <jrib> qowao: ah.  You installed geany through the repos though?
[13:52] <dulak> snip3r: I think that's what I did to fix that issue
[13:52] <thorerik> Where have networking gone? all the things on the wiki reffer to System | Administration | Networking, but that isn't there anymore, only Network tools
[13:52] <killer> ikonia: yeah the only problem is it autodetects once and sets that to primary... so everytime i have a external monitor i have to reconfigure it... any idea how to get arround that?
[13:52] <qowao> jrib: through synaptic!
[13:52] <kosnick> has anyone used "keytouch" before? i need to use "apply" every time i start up my pc in ordrer for keytouch to take effect. Any workarounds about this ?
[13:53] <ikonia> heinrich it's just boot options such as vga=795, if you do vga=ask it should prompt you for the settings you want
[13:53] <kop_regr> gtg. bb
[13:53] <ikonia> heinrich: are you working without X for soem reason ?
[13:53] <qowao> heh platius
[13:53] <jrib> qowao: well, you can add an alternative for gnome-text-editor as geany.  I don't recall how to do that without reading the man page though.  Let me know if you are stuck
[13:53] <qowao> which man page jrib
[13:53] <snip3r> ill try, but also there is no title bar, there is no maximizing or minimizin button
[13:54] <thorerik> Where have networking gone? all the things on the wiki reffer to System | Administration | Networking, but that isn't there anymore, only Network tools
[13:54] <heinrich> ikonia i just installed envy drivers but for some reason my resolution is well 640x480 and the options of changing resolution and apply button is off the screen
[13:54] <scuser> hi all, any help with this error: ssh: sc01: Name or service not known
[13:54] <jrib> qowao: the update-alternatives one
[13:54] <qowao> ok jrib
[13:54] <Aron> Hi there,my firefox doesn't work well
[13:54] <ikonia> heinrich the drivers supplied by envy are not a wise call to take lightly, and they are nothing to do with your framgebuffer resolution, they only aply to
[13:54] <ikonia> apply to X
[13:54] <Aron> the space character is shown to big than normal
[13:54] <madsj> Aron: which version ?
[13:55] <Aron> 3.03
[13:55] <heinrich> ikonia hmm ok, any idea what to do?=P
[13:55] <Bit_Breaker> hi all
[13:55] <Aron> madsj: the newest in the ubuntu hardy source
[13:55] <dulak> qowao: the quick and dirty way is to edit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list and make an entry for text/plain
[13:55] <ikonia> heinrich: why did you use envy - what caused you to select that ?
[13:55] <jrib> qowao: http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html has an example
[13:55] <snip3r> dulak: did it didn help
[13:55] <heinrich> ikonia nothing else works
[13:55] <ikonia> heinrich: I assume you want a better resolution with your X environment
[13:55] <Bit_Breaker> i need help finding a home security software for ubuntu
[13:55] <denise> hi - my husband installed ubuntu on my laptop and the console keeps beeping when I make a mistake - even though the mixer is muted.
[13:55] <heinrich> ikonia yes please
[13:56] <ikonia> heinrich: what video card do you have ?
[13:56] <heinrich> x1600 mobility
[13:56] <dulak> snip3r: sorry guess that wasn't the fix then
[13:56] <Bit_Breaker> i want to use ssh and zoneminder, however there isnt many compatible webcams
[13:56] <heinrich> ikonia x1600 mobility
[13:56] <ikonia> heinrich: I've never heard of that asn an nvidia card
[13:56] <ikonia> heinrich: that sounds like an ati
[13:56] <heinrich> ikonia never told u that it was an nvidia
[13:56] <ikonia> heinrich: apologies, thought you said it was an nvidai, it's ati yes ?
[13:57] <snip3r> any body else knw wats goin on?
[13:57] <heinrich> ikonia np, yes ati=)
[13:57] <ikonia> heinrich: ati cards are famously bad in linux, their drivers are beyond poor
[13:57] <markk> ok, how do i get compiz to work again? the .27(interpid)kernel was crashing so i went back to the .24, now i'm trying to go back to .27 but the graphics modules are messed up. any step by step howto somewhere?
[13:57] <ikonia> heinrich: have you read the common ati "howto" factoid
[13:57] <ikonia> !ati > heinrich
[13:57] <heinrich> ikonia I've noticed.
[13:57] <thorerik> Where have networking gone? all the things on the wiki reffer to System | Admnistration | Networking, but that isn't there anymore, only Network tools
[13:58] <ikonia> heinrich: apologies, I know thats not helpful, but it's important you understand how bad the cards are with the drivers before setting your sights high
[13:58] <qowao> thx dulak  jrib
[13:58] <Dreamglider> i have a big screen 3840 by 1200 it works, but the second monitors is to the left of the main monitor(Laptop) but ubuntu thinks it is to the right of the main, how do i fix this ?
[13:58] <ikonia> Dreamglider: are you using twinview?
[13:58] <qowao> what kind of enty dulak
[13:58] <qowao> entry*
[13:58] <Dreamglider> ikonia: i just set the screen res to 3840 by 1200 nothing else
[13:58] <qowao> its an empty file dulak
[13:59] <qowao> a new file
[13:59] <mm_work> dr_willis: progress!! (EE) intel(0): No valid modes.?(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

[13:59] <dwh6> when I've got some of the advanced desktop effects on, I don't get window preview when doing alt-tab (just white for the window contents)... any easy way to fix this?
[13:59] <ikonia> heinrich good, I wasn't be-littleing it, just trying to be clear
[13:59] <ikonia> Dreamglider: and there ends my support I'm afraid
[13:59] <dwh6> (maybe a compiz question, I guess?)
[13:59] <dulak> qowao: that's just one entry, you'd put one in for each type of file you want it to use your editor for
[13:59] <ikonia> Dreamglider: there is normally a setting in the screens section that says "leftOf" then you can do "LeftOf screen1" for example
[14:00] <heinrich> ikonia =)
[14:00] <dulak> qowao: they show how to search/replace gedit in the systemwide version of that file too

[14:05] <ikonia> heinrich thats not a problem
[14:05] <ikonia> heinrich: most screens are detected as plug and play monitors

[14:06] <kaklas> who can help me with internet problem?
[14:06] <ikonia> heinrich since what's wrong
[14:06] <ikonia> thiebaude: I know - it's not a problem
[14:06] <heinrich> ikonia it differs from another result i got. So screen is wrong^^
[14:06] <dimitris> i reinstalled ubuntu and the spped is so slow
[14:06] <dimitris> what's happening?
[14:07] <ikonia> heinrich: the word "plug and play monitor" is jsut an identifier, you can call it's heinrich's super monitor and it won't matter, are you sure dccprobe shows the wrong info on it
[14:07] <heinrich> ikonia I'll try and change to a pnp screen that is at least widescreen as it should be.
[14:07] <grobda24> What can I use to compare two large directories (a few gigs) to make sure I have a perfect backup .. a binary compare ... note: not a "diff" compare !
[14:07] <ikonia> grobda24: rsync works well
[14:07] <snip3r> another thing guys, i have my harddrive partition n want to install vista on the 50 gb i partition, does anyone knw a site tht walks me through the OS installation?
[14:08] <Pawsy> please could someone help m with wifi issues. i'v just upgraded to the latest ubuntu, 8.10, and it has support for my wifi, yet it doesn't seem to be enabled and i'm not sure how to enable it
[14:08] <kaklas> ubuntu 8.10 and vista [dual boot] i get the message :connected" when i connect to my wireless netwrok, but when i run firefox, i get the error page "cannot connetct to server"
[14:08] <grobda24> ikonia, a GUI would be better. Rsync has a LOT of options and dopes not seem to be ideal for direct binary compares, but is more for synchronisation.
[14:08] <heinrich> gaah if only I could scroll down to the button...
[14:08] <grobda24> dopes = does (lol)
[14:09] <ikonia> grobda24 it's perfect for binary compres, it checksums every file
[14:09] <ikonia> compare
[14:09] <grobda24> ikonia, ok, thanks, so is there a GUI ?
[14:09] <ikonia> grobda24 no idea what 3rd party tools are out there

[14:21] <Firebolt145> chadeldridge: at the bottom i set the device to the headphones and selected to control the speakers. now when turning it up or down it's very 'jaggity', as in, the volume jumps up and down, rather than going up and down gradually

[14:22] <kieko> bullgard4, no tengo preguntas. Habla a hugo_
[14:22] <z80ASM> just got the .iso file burned.
[14:22] <thiebaude> z80ASM:i like that face
[14:22] <Firebolt145> chadeldridge: well, turning the volume down works gradually, turning it up seems to make it jump around and even change the balance between right and left. any ideas?
[14:23] <z80ASM> hope they've fixed all the problems in 8.04
[14:23] <bullgard4> kieko: Bueno. Saludos.
[14:23] <tritium> kieko: we've reminded you many times.  English, please.  Spanish in #ubuntu-es.  Thanks.
[14:23] <kieko> tritium, sorry... i was just answering bullgard4 who was inviting me to #ubuntu-es

[14:24] <tritium> my bad, kieko.  I mistook you for hugo_.  I'm sorry.
[14:24] <hsn> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop (toshiba a200-1j3). i cant access the bluetooth, or the function keys and the default system volume is really low (even though it's maxed out). any help?
[14:24] <marcboy> dimitris, doesnt look like that server is working
[14:24] <z80ASM> sloopy: owned :D
[14:25] <cyr1> after upgrade from 804->810, i get an xorg error: (EE) unable to find a valid framebuffer device
[14:25] <kieko> tritium, no worries... you did correctly catch me speaking spanish, so.... *hands up* :)
[14:25] <dimitris> what can i do marcboy?
[14:25] <cyr1> it allows me to start in lowres mode, but I've tried to reconfigure and various other stuffs and no joy
[14:25] <z80ASM> cyrl: you installed it from a burned CD?
[14:25] <tritium> heh
[14:25] <z80ASM> or DVD?
[14:25] <cyr1> z80ASM : network upgrade
[14:25] <lwizardl> can someone tell me how to create multipart rars on the linux terminal prompt? i tried "rar a -v500000k Di-Gata Di-Gata\ Defenders\ -\ Den\ of\ Thieves.mpg" but that tries to create m0.rar

[14:26] <z80ASM> people have told, that network upgrade has many bugs.
[14:26] <marcboy> dimitris, i'd leave it a while, see if the server comes back up. if not, you'll need to switch to another mirror

[14:26] <hsn> anyone?
[14:26] <Iradieh> jrib: it's empty
[14:26] <cyr1> can you just re-update from the CD?
[14:27] <jrib> Iradieh: how do you plan on running mplayer on the other computer?

[14:29] <Omar87> Guys, I have a problem with Brasero, there seems to be a bug in it.
[14:29] <Firebolt145> marcboy, for some reason when controlling it through the screen/keyboard, it always screws up the right/left balance
[14:29] <Firebolt145> marcboy, any idea why?
[14:30] <marcboy> Firebolt145, is it definately not the headphones? easiest thing to check first :p
[14:30] <hsn> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop (toshiba a200-1j3). i cant access the bluetooth, or the function keys and the default system volume is really low (even though it's maxed out). any help?
[14:30] <ushimitsudoki> on upgrade my mouse is now emulating a middle click when i hold down both buttons, although Emulate3Buttons is "no" in xorg.conf. Is there some other place I should be checking to stop this?
[14:30] <Omar87> It keeps giving me an error message that the burning had failed probably because the CD was overwritten.
[14:30] <marcboy> Firebolt145, right click -> open volume controls and make sure the channels are linked
[14:31] <Firebolt145> marcboy, yes i'm pretty sure, i'm dualbooting and it works perfectly on windows. not only that, but when i open the actual volume controller and then use the keyboard/control it on the screen, i see the right and left bars jumping independently
[14:31] <Iradieh> jrib: it gave me alot
[14:31] <tonyr2k8> hsn, Right click on volume icon and select open volume control and look at pcm
[14:31] <jrib> Iradieh: look for where you are running x-session...
[14:31] <XenThraL> hi, switching from KDE to gnome, was wondering if there are any easy ways of configuring different wallpapers for different desktops?
[14:31] <Firebolt145> marcboy, it keeps linking and delinking (if that makes sense) by itself
[14:31] <Odd-rationale> XenThraL: check out wallpapoz
[14:31] <Nm> :)
[14:32] <XenThraL> I also use twinview, so was wondering how do I configure individual wallpapers for different monitors
[14:32] <aura> :)
[14:32] <Iradieh> jrib: cant
[14:32] <marcboy> Firebolt145, hmmmm... not sure then :s there any external apps (media player) taking over?
[14:32] <XenThraL> Odd-rationale: is there a better program? I installed that but it seems to be constantly running
[14:32] <XenThraL> Odd-rationale: and it doesnt seem to well, work, I switch desktops and it doesnt change the wallpaper
[14:32] <Odd-rationale> XenThraL: unforunately, no...
[14:32] <mssnlayam> My wireless (ipw2200) stopped working after upgrading to Intrepid. It works with earlier kernel versions though not with new ones. How can I install an earlier kernel? sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-19-386 does not seem to work

[14:39] <konam> Firefox starts without a title bar visible. It is not running in full screen mode, because when I press f11, it goes into full screen mode where moving the mouse to the top of the screen causes the title bar to slide down. tonyr2k8

[14:45] <konam> tonyr2k8 someone said that  'compiz --replace' solves the problem but I don't know if use that command, i don't know what it does
[14:45] <konam> tonyr2k8 gnome
[14:45] <Tcl> eggdrop is in /home/user
[14:45] <and-enabled-tour> wais find . -iname "*.[sc]
[14:45] <Raylz> konam: it replaces metacity with compiz
[14:45] <and-enabled-tour> wais or maybe i'm too late :)
[14:45] <jrock2004> I have about 60 HP thin clients that I was thinking of using multicast to push an ubuntu image to them. Is this the best way to do this?
[14:45] <mfilipe> why any packages hasn't in Adapt, only apititude?
[14:46] <konam> tonyr2k8 no wait, the guy is suggesting 'metacity --replace'
[14:46] <and-enabled-tour> wais sorry forgot quotes
[14:46] <and-enabled-tour> wais find . -iname "*.[sc]"
[14:46] <konam> tonyr2k8 no eye candy :|
[14:46] <and-enabled-tour> the [sc] - thingy does either *.s or *.c
[14:46] <cyr1> jrock2004 : we're looking at doing something similar, but using citrix, PXE boot to bootstrap the image ?
[14:46] <streenz> wheres the option to disable the fadein/fadeout effects of all the menus in gnome?
[14:46] <konam> I think i will stick to f11, twice.. ugly fix better than nothing
[14:47] <tonyr2k8> konam, I did think compiz, because you said it only happens on firefo
[14:47] <jrock2004> cyr1, yeah I was thinking of something like that
[14:47] <nmshameem> How can solve WPA issue in Network manager in Intrepid , any one pls help
[14:47] <snip3r> hi, i just reinstalled mozilla n im lookin for the best java n flash plugins in synaptic, does anyone knw?
[14:47] <tritium> streenz: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> (Visual Effects tab), choose "Non"
[14:47] <janbanan> How can I make Ubuntu hibernate/suspend correctly on my laptop?
[14:47] <cyr1> jrock2004 : should work fine as long as you keep the image size smallish (otherwise booting will be slow)
[14:47] <Raylz> konam: i just meant that compiz --replace replaces metacity
[14:47] <and-enabled-tour> hsn sudo su , /etc/init.d gdm start
[14:47] <streenz> tritium: ohh yea there it is, thanks
[14:48] <jrock2004> cyr1, I have not found any good documentation on how to do this, have you?
[14:48] <jrib> snip3r: what does best mean?  flashplugin-nonfree for flash.  Use either sun or openjava for java
[14:48] <cyr1> jrock2004 : you might check out one of the open-thinclient projects
[14:48] <tritium> and-enabled-tour: please don't suggest sudo su.  sudo -i, if necessary.  in that case above, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[14:48] <cyr1> jrock2004 : something like http://openthinclient.org/
[14:48] <jrock2004> cyr1, may I PM you to make it easier to talk?
[14:48] <cyr1> sure np
[14:49] <and-enabled-tour> sorry, didn't know. you;re right :)
[14:49] <sylock_> I have a question about bash config. In the case of gnome-terminal for example. By default it is a non-login shell. So it doesn't read the /etc/profile but the /etc/bash.bashrc. It is hard coded into gnome-terminal to read the /etc/bash.bashrc ?
[14:49] <and-enabled-tour> hey that invoke command is cool, nice to learn
[14:50] <snip3r> jrib: well the one tht works best n is most compatible
[14:50] <tritium> sylock_: look at Edit -> Preferences in the terminal window for more options
[14:50] <jrib> snip3r: use sun's then
[14:50] <dimitris> what can i install to watch videos in youtube?
[14:50] <jrib> dimitris: visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ and click on the yellow bar at the top
[14:51] <tritium> dimitris: ubuntu-restricted-extras, or at least flashplugin-nonfree
[14:51] <tonyr2k8> flash 10 is in the new repositroy
[14:51] <cannonball> What's the name of the channel that tells you if you are subject to the DCC exploit?
[14:51] <jrib> cannonball: why?

[14:51] <cannonball> I fixed it at home, and want to test it here at work (home was a cheapie Dlink router, work is a PIX).
[14:51] <jrib> snip3r: sun-java6-plugin iirc
[14:51] <jrib> cannonball: /join #ubuntu-ops
[14:52] <dimitris> ubuntu-restricted-extras how can i install this
[14:52] <tonyr2k8> dimitris, add/remove under the applications menu
[14:52] <JC_Denton_> I upgraded to 810 and now iwlist scan fails. No results at all. Plenty of wifi networks in the area..
[14:52] <hsn> i installed ubuntu from the live cd, and now when it reboots i get a command prompt...not the GUI. how do i get to the gui?
[14:52] <tritium> dimitris: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, for one
[14:52] <lwizardl> is there a IDE similar to Visual Studio for linux?
[14:53] <hsn> ??
[14:53] <Odd-rationale> lwizardl: monodevelop? http://monodevelop.com/Main_Page
[14:54] <dimitris> what do you mean for one?
[14:54] <dimitris> tritium?
[14:55] <KarlsBerg> someone with Aspire One?
[14:55] <tritium> dimitris: that's one method
[14:55] <dimitris> ok
[14:55] <tritium> dimitris: using synaptic, or Add/Remove Programs, or aptitude are other methods.
[14:56] <lwizardl> Odd-rationale, thanks looks exactly like what i'm looking for
[14:56] <dimitris> what's aptitude?
[14:56] <tritium> dimitris: it's similar to apt-get
[14:56] <lwizardl> Odd-rationale, and i'm sure its ansi-compliant unlike visual studio
[14:56] <tta> dimitris, frontend for dpkg
[14:56] <frybye> Hi - I have two pcs, both with ibex on my home network but they cant find the shared folders on each other.. the laptop does not "see" the desktop at all aparently..
[14:56] <dimitris> ah   ok
[14:56] <hsn> zzz...
[14:56] <hsn> how do i start the gui from the command prompt
[14:56] <Odd-rationale> lwizardl: mono is like .net for linux.
[14:57] <Anamn3sis> Is there a way I can move /etc/modules to /boot ?
[14:57] <Odd-rationale> hsn: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[14:57] <tritium> hsn: it auto-starts on boot
[14:57] <frybye> or at least when I do a ping to the ip # of the desktop it loses 12 of 19 packets... 63% loss etc..
[14:57] <tritium> Anamn3sis: no
[14:57] <nickbooker> dovel: Thanks for your guidance, problem solved.
[14:57] <KarlsBerg> how i can mount usb devices without SUDO ? netbook remix dont allow me mount when i try click in the usb device because need root permission and i need does from the terminal :S
[14:57] <hsn> tritium: it doesnt
[14:57] <hsn> Odd-rationale: i'll try that thanks
[14:57] <tritium> hsn: did you install the server?
[14:57] <Anamn3sis> is it possible to have the kernel load a module some other way?
[14:58] <frybye> the anoying thing is that I have a 3rd pc with vista on it and it works fine from the other desktop to that thing...
[14:58] <hsn> nope, i installed the desktop edition
[14:58] <frybye> it really should not be hardy to link from a ibex to ibex then from ibex to vista or...? ;=(
[14:59] <hsn> Odd-rationale: after typing that command it says starting gnome display amnager but nothing happens
[14:59] <tritium> hsn: sounds like the install didn't complete properly
[14:59] <dulak> Amamn3sis: the kernel uses the initrd to load modules needed at boot time
[14:59] <Odd-rationale> hsn: what happens if you do ctrl+alt+f7 ?
[14:59] <olivuser> how do i change my mosue so i cans croll?
[14:59] <Mafjus> Hi everyone, may I ask for a second of your time, I have pages documents that I've created on my (no longer existing mac), do you know of any program that can handle this doc type in Linux ???
[14:59] <hsn> tritium: i installed it from the live desktop ;\
[15:00] <tritium> hsn: do you recall there being problems during install?
[15:00] <rainbowinfinity> also, coolsavings.com, and mysavings.com.....pretty much every coupon site says it's not supported
[15:00] <hsn> nope
[15:00] <Anamn3sis> um ok, how should I set up my partitions if I want them to be encrypted?
[15:00] <hsn> the install completed, it asked me to restart
[15:01] <hsn> i restarted and nothing happens.. all i get is a command prompt
[15:01] <mm_work> Anamn3sis: look into using cryptsetup, its quite nice for that
[15:01] <frybye> Mafjus: what format are the mac docs in???
[15:01] <and-enabled-tour> hsn maybe display errors do you get any messages like "cannot start display" ?
[15:01] <hsn> it says something like no resume image, doing normal boot
[15:01] <tritium> hsn: that's not normal.  Something is wrong.  Please run "sudo apt-get -f install"
[15:01] <Mafjus> frybye, .pages
[15:01] <frybye> <-- has had little to do with macs.. but...
[15:01] <adam> hello!
[15:01] <frybye> never heard of it...

[15:03] <jhernandez> could anyone help me?¿
[15:03] <jhernandez> tcl
[15:03] <jhernandez> dpkg -L pkg_name
[15:04] <hsn> zzzzz this is annoying
[15:04] <tritium> hsn: did you do as I suggested?
[15:04] <mm_work> Tcl: /usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so
[15:04] <hsn> it asked me for my username and password
[15:04] <hsn> and now theres no activity
[15:05] <tritium> !who | hsn
[15:05] <Anamn3sis> what I mean is, I want to have whole drive encryption, how can I do this with dm-crypt/luks (via cryptsetup)? I made / and my swap encrypted and left /boot unencrypted, but ubuntu won't boot because its missing the kernel module for dm-crypt, and won't load it because /etc/modules is on the encryped drive.
[15:05] <Anamn3sis> partition rather
[15:05] <frybye> Mafjus: otherwise perhaps you find something here - http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/06/26/essentials-2006
[15:05] <tritium> hsn: is ubuntu-desktop installed?  Please run "dpkg -l | grep ubuntu-desktop"

[15:07] <hsn> the ubuntu desktop system
[15:07] <cyr1> any idea why Xorg can't find a fb device? "(EE) MGA(0): Failed to open framebuffer device"
[15:07] <cyr1> (WW) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
[15:07] <tritium> hsn: ok, good
[15:07] <and-enabled-tour> tritium: just a wild guess, could it be that xorg-server should be dpkg-reconfigured for hsn?
[15:08] <cyr1> do I need to create the fb drvice file?
[15:08] <xiaopi> Hi~
[15:08] <tritium> and-enabled-tour: possibly

[15:08] <xiaopi> I got a question concerning the DVD isos of Ubuntu-Kubuntu, do they have the text install from Alternate CD (If I need LVM install)
[15:09] <hsn> tritium: and then?
[15:09] <osiris_> Anyone else experience the hard drive clicking problem?
[15:09] <tritium> hsn: please tell me if it configured any packages, or just returns you to the command prompt.

[15:16] <rjm> is this a known issue?
[15:16] <lifestream> javierg,  yeah really ^^ let me know if you need anything
[15:16] <hsn> tritium: so what do i do?
[15:16] <tritium> hsn: System -> Administration -> System Log
[15:17] <hsn> yes but i cant access the gui.
[15:17] <hsn> i'm still on the command prompt
[15:17] <jrib> rjm: some people have had that issue, so there is probably a bug about it.  You should look at bugs.ubuntu.com.  A workaround may be to use your old xorg.conf for input settings and use the appropriate serverflag (search for "hal" in the xorg.conf man page)
[15:17] <and-enabled-tour> sudo less /var/... [that path] . browse with pg-up and g-down, [esc] to quit
[15:17] <rjm> ok thanks
[15:17] <tritium> hsn: indeed
[15:17] <and-enabled-tour> hsn sudo less /var/... [that path] . browse with pg-up and g-down, [esc] to quit
[15:17] <riddlebox> Anyone knows how to make the nick-list on the side please?
[15:18] <tritium> hsn: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and hit space bar to advance forward
[15:18] <enterneo> is there a pidgin PPA for Intrepid Ibex?
[15:18] <and-enabled-tour> hsn as tritium said, look for errors, they will be marked with "EE"
[15:18] <charlie-tca> dimitris: did you open a terminal and run dpkg --configure -a
[15:18] <sloopy> !hello
[15:18] <and-enabled-tour> sorry tritium :)
[15:18] <tritium> and-enabled-tour: no, thanks for helping!
[15:18] <djhash> riddlebox: no one will be able to help you if you dont tell them what program u use..
[15:18] <and-enabled-tour> tritium thank you, i'm learning
[15:19] <sloopy> seems ubottu is aafk
[15:19] <riddlebox> djhash: I'm using Xchat, the one that comes with Intrepid Ibex
[15:19] <hsn> tritium: failed to load module "fglrx" and drivers do not exist are tagged with (EE)
[15:19] <tritium> hsn: sounds like that's your initial problem, at least
[15:19] <djhash> hsn: ati?
[15:19] <tritium> hsn: when were you able to configure restricted drivers?
[15:20] <hsn> djhash: yes
[15:20] <hsn> tritium: during the install
[15:20] <dimitris> yes charlie-tca
[15:20] <jhernandez> hi
[15:20] <tritium> hsn: for started, let's revert you to "ati", rather than "fglrx" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:20] <djhash> hsn: can you get to a terminal.. or console (ctrl+alt+f1)
[15:20] <jhernandez> could anyone help me with policykit?¿
[15:20] <tonyr2k8> dimitris, you need to do a sudo with that command
[15:20] <hsn> tritium: ok how do i do that
[15:21] <tritium> djhash: yes, that's all he has
[15:21] <djhash> hsn: type aticonfig --list-adapter
[15:21] <tritium> hsn: are you familiar with any editors?
[15:21] <niki> hello
[15:21] <tritium> djhash: please, not now.
[15:21] <hsn> tritium: nope :\
[15:21] <djhash> tritium: belive me.. there is a quick solution
[15:21] <dimitris> You have 3 broken packages on your system!  Use the "Broken" filter to locate them.
[15:21] <dimitris> i did that
[15:21] <dimitris> Setting up java-common (0.30ubuntu3) ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for doc-base ... Processing 24 changed, 2 added doc-base file(s)... Registering documents with scrollkeeper...
[15:21] <dimitris> You have 3 broken packages on your system! Use the "Broken" filter to locate them.
[15:22] <dimitris> what can i do about that?
[15:22] <djhash> hsn: aticonfig --adapter=all --initialize
[15:22] <qowao> hey how would i install the adobe reader?

[15:22] <Guest49249> hee

[15:42] <djhash> lakitu: try gparted.. i'm not sure
[15:42] <and-enabled-tour> lakitu you could try running from a liveCD and then run cfdisk form a terminal
[15:42] <kevin1> wqho is that to 22

[15:42] <sloopy> RiddleBox420, View->userlist?
[15:42] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: ok.. & that's foolproof? relatively safe? dangerous & volatile?
[15:42] <xnv> julle_: I believe that package was removed for 8.10
[15:42] <Addy> erUSUL: so there's nothing I can do to upgrade the network manager :(
[15:42] <iyk_iri> i still have problem installing my virtualbox, tried the command and add/remove program
[15:43] <and-enabled-tour> lakitu the advantage is that you can see how the drives are now
[15:43] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: ok
[15:43] <and-enabled-tour> lakitu without mounting them
[15:43] <julle_> xnv: ahaa ok. and what package should i install instead?
[15:43] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: will testdisk help me?
[15:43] <and-enabled-tour> lakitu you can see the fily system type4s for a start
 | View -> User List. If it still does not show go to: Settings->Preferences -> User List-> Show User list at: <Pick one>
[15:43] <and-enabled-tour> don't know thestdisk, sorry
[15:43] <qowao> tritium: should i donwload it from the link you gave me or from synaptic (it is not in synaptic)
[15:43] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: k
[15:43] <and-enabled-tour> lakitu you have windows and linux filesystems?
[15:44] <qowao> sorry tritium now i found it
[15:44] <tritium> qowao: it *is* in the repositories.  You must not have enabled the medibuntu repos, or didn't update your package listing.
[15:44] <xnv> julle_: I downloaded the .deb from Adobe's web site.
[15:44] <kevin1> where is there more information so that I can consistantly boot up to working wireless is there a wireless forum
[15:44] <tonybaloney867> Hello, I just purchased a webcam and it seems to be partially working. So far some applications like VLC, Skype and xawtv seem to handle my webcam fine. Cheese and camorama are unable to open it though
[15:44] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: this disk just has a 'stuff' partition (which is the damaged file system one), & then a linux partition, that won't boot
[15:44] <tonybaloney867> Camorama just says "Unable to connect to /dev/video0"
[15:44] <sloopy> iyk_iri, saying it doesnt have the modules?
[15:44] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: it's an external harddrive
[15:45] <kevin1> where is there more information so that I can consistantly boot up to working wireless is there a wireless forum
[15:45] <tonybaloney867> I found something that gives instructions on how to compile a new UVC module however I'd like to see if there's another solution you guys know of before I do that
[15:45] <and-enabled-tour> lakitu did you "fry your MBR"? i mean the boot part is damaged but all the rest is probabbly ok?
[15:45] <edju> Is the swap partition supposed to have a mount point?  fstab has <mount\040point>.  That doesn't look right.
[15:45] <and-enabled-tour> lakitu oh sorry, did not see the "external" part
[15:45] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: i don't know. i did this: resize the full 250gb partition down to 230gb. doing that apparently damaged the file system
[15:46] <lakitu> and-enabled-tour: of the 230gb partition
[15:46] <alberto> hi

[15:53] <foucault> test
[15:53] <Nullset> I did dpkg-reconfigure
[15:53] <nagelus> Can anybody else view the videos at http://www.thedailyshow.com/ ? Everything else I can think of but that seems to work for me, so it's a bit hard to diagnose what's wrong
[15:54] <and-enabled-tour> Nullset oh ok... hmm....

[16:29] <jrib> vonderer: (or be more specific)
[16:29] <erUSUL> nonZero: :/ you're right. it is very weird that the kernel is compiled with a not aviable version of gcc ...
[16:29] <jrib> Vhozard: (or be more specific)
[16:30] <jrib> vonderer: do you want to change it in HAL or just use xorg.conf?
[16:30] <AJC_Z0> Jokou: Non other other items are selected. My real problem is that temporarily removing ~/Desktop has made ~/ folders appear as icons. I'd like to revert to the previous behaviour with the empty ~/Desktop
[16:30] <Vhozard> Well, I have done: chmod 777 /
[16:30] <Pardoned> Thrice> Yeahhhhhh, I don't think it's gonna work, but at least it works with wired

[16:30] <susscorfa> jrib: some thing is happening with xev but the xlookupstring is empty
[16:30] <Vhozard> Unfortunatly with -hR
[16:30] <vonderer> jrib: you see... I've got programmed buttons on my mouse, and if it is loaded with evdev, it turns of on X load
[16:31] <Jokou> AJC_Z0:  Ohh. Sorry, I had it in my head you had a completely different problem
[16:31] <AJC_Z0> Vhozard: chmod 755 /
[16:31] <MaT-dg> do I need 'winbind' for a samba server?
[16:31] <AJC_Z0> Jokou: No problem. I still learned something

[16:31] <jrib> susscorfa: maybe you want 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup'
[16:32] <bazhang> dimitris, no cursing
[16:32] <bazhang> dimitris, use sudo not root
[16:32] <jrib> vonderer: after what?

[16:33] <MaT-dg> DaveCave, when upgrading to a new version of ubuntu I recommend to temp install the default network-manager again

[16:43] <lakitu> erUSUL: k, thanks
[16:43] <jrib> uman: the redirections like 'sudo echo foo > bar' happen as the user, so you would need to do something like 'echo foo | sudo tee bar'.  That's why the tut said to use sudo -i
