[09:42] <Dougal> BlueEagle: man page suggested "loadkeys uk" the computer recognised it, but was missing "symbols uk" file, or some such
[09:42] <BlueEagle> Dougal: Then, like me, you're missing the files in /usr/share/keymaps/.
[09:42] <coenieolivier> Editing the menu's in ubuntu should be integrated
[09:42] <skurakai1> crdlb: i think advanced editing not only add and delete.
[09:42] <Noiano> hello
[09:43] <BlueEagle> !hi | Noiano
[09:43] <skurakai1> i have it before but now have clean system and can't find name of this
[09:43] <Noiano> !hi | BlueEagle
[09:43] <BlueEagle> Dougal: You can install the console-keymaps file. That might work.
[09:43] <BlueEagle> s/file/package/
[09:43] <coenieolivier> Try go to system, settings, and have a look there
[09:44] <Noiano> I'd like to have some random data: I've heard of  "dd if=/dev/random of=file.out bs=1M count=1" but I only get 16bytes...I want more....any idea?
[09:44] <crdlb> skurakai1: what exactly is missing from the "edit menus" app?
[09:44] <BlueEagle> Noiano: man dd
[09:44] <BlueEagle> Noiano: Also, why would you want this?
[09:44] <skurakai1> crdlb: eg. icon editing. change commands ...
[09:44] <lancerocke> hi all. i want to create my own wondow border, close,minimize and maximize buttons for my desktop. i found tutorials on "how to create gtk themes" but i cant find anything on the proper heights and such for creating the window border and such. can anyone help?
[09:44] <coenieolivier> I'm in windows now so cant be of any real help, but I used to have an option under "Settings" tab, there should be and option called "Menus"
[09:44] <Dr_willis_> Noiano,  i  am not sure that =1M is right..
[09:45] <Noiano> BlueEagle, i did read the man...I goy no solution...
[09:45] <coenieolivier> have a look there and see if you come right
[09:45] <Noiano> Dr_willis_, I found it on the internet
[09:45] <crdlb> skurakai1: you can right click on any entry and select Properties
[09:45] <coenieolivier> Have to go - cheers
[09:45] <Noiano> any suggestion would be appreciated
[09:45] <skurakai1> crdlb: i havent "properties" in context menu

[09:45] <Roconda> hi, I am using 8.04 with wlan.. sometimes this will cause a computer-freeze; wlan0: no IPv6 routers present(found in syslog). anyone ?
[09:45] <Dr_willis_> Noiano,  normally you dont set the blocksize to be more then like 4K or so.. 1024, is also common.   anything higher dosent gain any preformaance from what i recall reading
[09:45] <crdlb> skurakai1: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:46] <BlueEagle> Noiano: If you try changing count=1 to count=2 does that give you 32 bytes?
[09:46] <Noiano> BlueEagle, the command seems to freeze...
[09:46] <DieseL__> anyone know where i can get rmbr.exe for dell inspiron 6400 laptops?
[09:46] <DieseL__> i need to disable or remap this stupid dell media button
[09:46] <voy1d> Hi, I'm looking at installing Ubuntu on to my computer by using the installer to resize my existing NTFS partition with windows XP installed on it. I need to know that if when I run the option to resize the partition, that it will not wipe my windows XP install. Is this correct?
[09:46] <DieseL__> bricked my laptop this morning, don't want to do it again
[09:48] <itai> voy1d, firstly -back up all your important files, second defrag windows and if you can resize it from windows (partition magic) that would be the best
[09:48] <BlueEagle> Noiano: Hang on. Trying to make this work.
[09:48] <Noiano> BlueEagle, thanks
[09:48] <oturan> hi
[09:48] <EatShrooms> hi there
[09:48] <oturan> I can't see clear video from kaffeine DVB. Do i need a codec or something for kaffeine? I have nvidea dirvers installed.
[09:49] <itai> voy1d, but to your question -it should'nt wipe out your xp
[09:49] <zetheroo-ubuntu> how do I get my external hdd to mount automatically?
[09:49] <voy1d> itai: Thanks, thats all I needed to know (all important stuff is on a seperate disk entirely)
[09:51] <itai> voy1d, also remember that linux has different names from partitions ,if you use a live Cd make sure you understand the partition table before you resize anything
[09:53] <BlueEagle> Noiano: man random
[09:53] <BlueEagle> Noiano: 3rd paragraph.
[09:53] <rgnr> ppl hey
[09:53] <Noiano> BlueEagle, thanks I'll read it right now
[09:53] <rgnr> gotta minor problem
[09:54] <rgnr> i accidently deleted lower panel
[09:54] <Buyydee> Hi, is there a programme which allows me to resume playback of a mp3 at a certain point? I have audiobooks which consist of only a few files, so it would be great, if I could continue where i stopped, without having to remeber where I was.
[09:54] <rgnr> but when created it again minimized windows do not appear there
[09:55] <rgnr> any ideas?
[09:55] <Noiano> BlueEagle, you give me a function referenece not a command reference...is that what you meant?
[09:55] <Dr_willis_> rgnr,  theres a 'task applet' you need to add to the panel
[09:55] <BlueEagle> Noiano: As such I do recomend using /dev/random as a seed for a pseudo-random generator.
[09:55] <Dr_willis_> rgnr,  right clic on the pannel and see what applets youc an add
[09:55] <Buyydee> it's called windows list
[09:55] <rgnr> windows list
[09:55] <Buyydee> yes
[09:56] <rgnr> no that's not the one
[09:56] <rgnr> it shows icon with te menu
[09:56] <rgnr> of minimized programs
[09:56] <Dr_willis_> rgnr,  start adding applkets till ya find the one ya want. :)
[09:56] <Buyydee> it's the normal one, windows-style
[09:56] <rgnr> i did trie all of them
[09:56] <Buyydee> there's one with a similar name, sure you chose the right one?
[09:58] <rgnr> oh right )
[09:58] <rgnr> it's task list
[09:58] <Buyydee> ;)
[09:58] <rgnr> not the windows list
[09:58] <Dr_willis_> I was close!
[09:58] <Dr_willis_> :)
[09:58] <rgnr> :)
[09:58] <Buyydee> taks list? I don't even have that one
[09:58] <Buyydee> what does it do?
[09:59] <Dr_willis_> I think theres some gnome panel applets in the repos. not installed by default
[09:59] <itai> there used to be an option to grphicaly log as root in dapper (recovery mode) is it still there in hardy?
[10:00] <laku_> hey all, I
[10:00] <laku_> oops.
[10:00] <dekkong> laku_: hello laku :)
[10:01] <laku_> I copied some files from a cd to my hdd, and no I can't play the mp3 on Amarok. I have locks on the folders (G_
[10:01] <laku_> (GUI)
[10:01] <laku_> hey, dekkong
[10:01] <BlueEagle> laku_: Are you the owner of the files after they are copied?
[10:01] <laku_> sorry for all the typos.....
[10:01] <BlueEagle> laku_: or if you're not the owner, do you have read access to them?
[10:03] <hero> anyone?
[10:03] <laku_> yeah, I think. I can open them, one secI'll double check
[10:04] <msshams> can you tell me about difference of ubuntu and kubuntu?
[10:04] <BlueEagle> laku_: Well, if you can read them, how can you not play them with amarok?
[10:05] <abchirk> damn I clicked move to trash button on rhtymnbox... anyway to untrash those files.. to the same path where they were before?
[10:05] <BlueEagle> msshams: ubuntu uses gnome as the default window manager. kubuntu uses kde as the default window manager.
[10:05] <BlueEagle> abchirk: try looking for "restore" on the files in your trash box.
[10:05] <BlueEagle> msshams: Other than that they are pretty much the same.
[10:05] <ryth> can ubuntu support multiple monitors?
[10:05] <abchirk> BlueEagle there is nothin like that. :(
[10:05] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  'linux' and X can... so ubuntu can
[10:06] <msshams> BlueEagle: only difference is in desktop environment?
[10:06] <ryth> how do you tell it to?
[10:06] <BlueEagle> msshams: Yes. There's no problem in turning ubuntu into something that works like kubuntu and vice versa.
[10:06] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  depens on your video card to some degree.. for my nvidia systems.. i install the nvidia drivers, and enable twinview/tv out/monitors with the nvida-settings tool
[10:06] <BlueEagle> abchirk: Well, I don't use gnome, but I would think that there would be. :)
[10:06] <laku_> BlueEagle: That's what I'm also not understanding
[10:07] <msshams> BlueEagle: so, if i have ubuntu and install kde on it, then it isn't any difference with kubuntu?
[10:07] <abchirk> BlueEagle that was my thought too, but I don't see anything
[10:07] <abchirk> Only empty tash
[10:07] <albuntu> msshams : no there is no difference. install kubuntu-desktop and you will be ok
[10:07] <BlueEagle> msshams: That is (mostly) correct. You will still have the same bootsplash and, unless you change it, the gnome login manager.
[10:08] <BlueEagle> msshams: But those are eye candy and in all other respects you'll have a kubuntu equivalent.
[10:08] <ecmuller> hay I have a questin
[10:08] <ryth> Dr_willis: I got an nvidia 8600 GT with drivers for nvida installed for ubuntu.   Where would the settings tool be?

[10:08] <tavi> !seen itai
[10:08] <ecmuller> can anyone answer
[10:08] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  you install the 'nvidia-settings' tool and run it as root.. save the changes.. then restart the X server.

[10:09] <tavi> itai where are you?
[10:09] <hero> <a href>www.baidu.com</a>
[10:09] <Dr_willis_> ubuntu_todd,  you just delete it..  asyou do any other file
[10:09] <hero> hello
[10:09] <Dr_willis_> ubuntu_todd,  and normally you would use 'soft links' with ln -s thisthing thatthing
[10:10] <tavi> what is the quote comand on freenode?
[10:10] <Dr_willis_> hero,  thers no need to msg people.
[10:10] <hero> got it
[10:10] <BlueEagle> tavi: #ubuntu-offtopic and I don't think there's a "quote command".
[10:10] <ubuntu_todd> Dr_willis_: delete what? I used this sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so. How could I de link them?
[10:11] <ecmuller> ok....I have winblows right now is ubnto ntfs cabable
[10:11] <tavi> what should i do on ubuntu offtopic?
[10:11] <Dr_willis_> ubuntu_todd,  find the one thats a link.. and just rm /whatever/its/called
[10:11] <hero> i want to print Chineae
[10:11] <tavi> itai.............. where are you?
[10:11] <ljsoftnet> is gambas a good programming language for basic like IDE?
[10:11] <hero> he has gone
[10:11] <hero> itai
[10:12] <ecmuller> can ubanto use ntfs
[10:12] <tavi> where ...i need to help me whit a problem
[10:12] <tavi> ?
[10:12] <ubuntu_todd> Dr_willis_: ls -s A B. So I delete A or B?
[10:12] <BlueEagle> !ntfs-3g | ecmuller
[10:12] <lakitu> why would gparted grey out the ability to format my partition to ntfs?
[10:12] <epic_fi> hey all
[10:12] <lakitu> it used to be allowed
[10:13] <ecmuller> right so cna I boot off ntfs
[10:13] <Dr_willis_> ubuntu_todd,  use 'ls -l' and look at them both and see what one is the link
[10:13] <ziroday`> lakitu: you need to install the ntfs drivers
[10:13] <hiping> ~
[10:13] <ecmuller> cause I don want to loose my files
[10:13] <lakitu> ziroday`: i already did - ntfs-3g, right?
[10:13] <epic_fi> anybody else having an issue with the newest OpenOffice?
[10:13] <Dr_willis_> i thought gparted needed the ntfstools package  to do that. not ntfs-3g
[10:13] <epic_fi> stable version 3.0
[10:13] <Dr_willis_> !info ntfstools
[10:14] <ziroday`> lakitu: I think there is another one, give me a sec
[10:14] <lakitu> k, thanks you two
[10:14] <epic_fi> keeps crashing on startup then goes to a recovery dialog, over and over again
[10:14] <Dr_willis_> ntfsprogs - tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux
[10:14] <lakitu> ah ok, thanks, Dr_willis_
[10:14] <ecmuller> because I want to bot both windws and ubnta into ntfs
[10:14] <ziroday`> lakitu: or you can go install all the ntfs related packages in synaptic. But thats not very nice
[10:14] <IntuitiveNipple> ecmuller: If you mean, for installing Ubuntu. Installation is done into a 'new' clean partition. You can't install Ubuntu alongside Windows, if that is what you are inferring
[10:14] <tavi> well did someone help me whit my problem instead of itai?
[10:15] <ecmuller> but if I install ubnto how will I get my gmails
[10:15] <ecmuller> I need windows too
[10:16] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  you install linux to one partition, and windows on a different partition.
[10:16] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: gmail is web-based, isn't it?
[10:16] <Dr_willis_> gmail has nothing to do with it ecmuller
[10:16] <ubuntu_todd> I cannot convert flv to mp3 or mov using ffmpeg. Could anybody help me out?
[10:16] <ecmuller> but why too partitiions
[10:17] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  becuase thats how they work.
[10:17] <ecmuller> I only need one for my files
[10:17] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  you need one for each OS.
[10:17] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: Linux is not an "application" that you can run in windows. Linux us an operating system. As you may or may not know windows also requires a partition on the harddisk to run.
[10:17] <ecmuller> but then I wold lose my files
[10:17] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: You can re-partition your drive without loosing data.
[10:17] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  No U You dont.. Your resize the ONE you have. and make it into 2
[10:17] <BlueEagle> !gparted
[10:18] <ecmuller> that sounds complicaterd
[10:18] <ecmuller> if I lose my files how do I get my gmail
[10:18] <IntuitiveNipple> ecmuller: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[10:18] <epic_fi> ecmuller, what do you mean how do you get your gmail?
[10:18] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: It's not more complicated than moving a slider. However when doing low-level operations on your disk I always recomend having backups of non-replacable data.
[10:18] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  gmail has nothing to do with it.. and if you worried bout it.. then dont do it.. or try linux inside virtualbox/vmware or wubi
[10:19] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: Well, having those backups is a good idea in any case.
[10:19] <Dr_willis_> Backup your bckups!
[10:19] <ecmuller> I don't have room to backup I only have 50mb free
[10:19]  * Dr_willis_ can get his Gmail on the Wii :)
[10:19] <ubuntu_> some one know is it possible to import buddies from polish server Gadu Gadu to the pidgin?
[10:19] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  then you really need to freeup some space.
[10:19] <ryth> Dr_willis:  how do you save a file under root access?
[10:19] <IntuitiveNipple> ecmuller: Why do you want to install Ubuntu?
[10:20] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: When I say "backup" I do mean "copy to removable media and store in a safe place".
[10:20] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  depends on what you mean. you normally launch the editor as root..
[10:20] <ecmuller> I here ubunto is better than windowas
[10:20] <epic_fi> ecmuller, what kind of computer system do you have that you want to install Ubuntu on?
[10:20] <ecmuller> it's a compaq
[10:20] <ubuntu_> some one know is it possible to import buddies from polish server Gadu Gadu to the pidgin?
[10:20] <IntuitiveNipple> ecmuller: Have you tried running Ubuntu from a LiveCD yet?
[10:21] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: You are aware that linux and windows do not (automatically) run the same programs and games, do you not?
[10:21] <epic_fi> ecmuller, cool... what is the model number?
[10:21] <BlueEagle> s/do/are/
[10:21] <ecmuller> I don't know...I got it in 1996
[10:21] <epic_fi> ecmuller, wow
[10:21] <albuntu> epic_fi : lol
[10:21] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm might be a good read. :)
[10:21] <epic_fi> albuntu, mega
[10:22] <siigna> anyone got any tips for a kernel panic after hibernation in 7.10? regular and recovery mode both panic
[10:22] <ecmuller> it should be better than widows with ubunto
[10:22] <ecmuller> I here it's much faster
[10:22] <ecmuller> and no virusses
[10:22] <ecmuller> I think I have a lot of viruss
[10:23] <epic_fi> ecmuller, well, here's the deal... if you are being serious, then I need you to tell me how much memory your computer has in it right now
[10:23] <ecmuller> 50mb left
[10:23] <ryth> k.. how do I open the editor as root... :/
[10:23] <epic_fi> ecmuller,  okay, 50mb left on your hard drive?
[10:23] <siigna> ryth: gedit, nano, which editor?
[10:23] <linuxius> hi. I installed the virtualbox and get the following error: mdm.System.Registry.getValueNames - unable to open key "\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM" for read. how can I solve this?
[10:23] <ecmuller> on my c:
[10:24] <ryth> gedit
[10:24] <neosix> Hello! Is there way to install gnome 2.24 on  Ubuntu 8.04
[10:24] <IntuitiveNipple> ryth: Which editor? for gedit (Text editor) you'd press Alt+F2, then run "gksudo gedit"
[10:24] <siigna> ryth: you can either "sudo gedit" or "gksudo gedit" in terminal
[10:24] <epic_fi> ecmuller, cool... so that's your hard drive, not your memory, do you know what RAM is?
[10:25] <ryth> what does sudo stand for? and what's the difference between sudo and gksudo? haha
[10:25] <ecmuller> do I have to open it up to see
[10:25] <jrib> neosix: yes, but it is a much better idea to wait for 8.10 to be released in a couple of weeks and then upgrade to 8.10
[10:25] <IntuitiveNipple> ryth: SUper-user DO
[10:25] <jrib> !gksudo | ryth
[10:25] <ryth> ah
[10:25] <IntuitiveNipple> ryth: gksudo is the GUI version of sudo
[10:25] <ubuntu_todd> how to convert flv to mp4 or mov using ffmpeg?
[10:25] <Dr_willis_> !gksu
[10:25] <albuntu> ecmuller : yes. you have to put it inside your tv to read it well
[10:25] <ryth> thanks :)
[10:25] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Hi there, I am using hardy, after upgrade from fresh installation my iwl3945 card stopped working. I installed backport modules from the backports repository, and now I don't have snd_hda_intel anymore...
[10:26] <ecmuller> my kids are in sudo classes I think...one has a yellow belt
[10:26] <Le-Chuck_ITA> where is snd_hda_intel???
[10:26] <ryth> if I type in any command with a ! here will it give me a syntax?
[10:26] <ryth> !sudo
[10:26] <ecmuller> in my TV?
[10:26] <Dr_willis_> !bot
[10:26] <ryth> cool.....
[10:26] <ryth> haha
[10:26] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  depeds if the bot has the factoid or not
[10:26] <epic_fi> ecmuller, dope
[10:26] <siigna> just in case it got looked over ;): anyone got any tips for a kernel panic after hibernation in 7.10? regular and recovery mode both panic
[10:27] <epic_fi> ecmuller=triZoll
[10:27] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: ffmpeg -i file.flv file.mp4    should work if you are using the medibuntu version of ffmpeg at least
[10:27] <betuto> hello
[10:27] <ecmuller> what's a triZoll?
[10:27] <albuntu> epic_fi : hahahaha
[10:27] <epic_fi> albuntu, serious tard
[10:27] <epic_fi> ecmuller, a troll
[10:27] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: Have you captured the Panic back-trace in logs?  Error: Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1
[10:29] <betuto> hello
[10:29] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: yep, tried the regular boot and the recovery boot, both panic
[10:29] <Le-Chuck_ITA> aaargh I want both my sound and my wifi back in the "long term support"....
[10:29] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: You mean the Panic is while loading/using the hibernation file?
[10:29] <ecmuller> I just want to get this new thng to make my computer betre
[10:29] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: pastebin 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg'
[10:29] <betuto> any recommendation about a program for managing iptables?
[10:29] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: it appears to be so
[10:29] <ecmuller> I herd ubunto is the best
[10:29] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  go  spend a few days using the ubuntu live cd.. then come back.
[10:29] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: That is strange. If the hibernation image in swap isn't good, it should ignore it and go to a cold boot
[10:29] <jrib> betuto: ufw or firestarter?
[10:29] <epic_fi> ecmuller, sorry if I offended you, it's just that we have tried to tell you in many different ways on how to go about getting what you're after, but you aren't listening to us
[10:29] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: yeah, that's what i thought
[10:29] <jrib> !pm | ubuntu_todd
[10:30] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: here, let me give it a boot and see what the panic is exactly
[10:30] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: First off. To install any operating system you will need to know abit more about your hardware than you appear to do. Now, Ubuntu has come a long way in helping set up things automatically, but not everything works out of the box.
[10:30] <betuto> jrib: thank you!!!!
[10:30] <albuntu> ecmuller : read about ubuntu and use the live cd os you have an idea
[10:30] <ecmuller> but you told me nothing....just that my memory is 50mb
[10:30] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  a live cd does not install to the hard drive.. no space needed
[10:30] <Efrem> ]
[10:30] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: Secondly, you can boot from the desktop cd and try Ubuntu. If it is something you may want to use on a regular basis then you may concider installing it.
[10:30] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"
[10:31] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg' is a command that I want you to run and pastebin the output of
[10:31] <ubuntu_todd>  jrib: how to use that apt-cache policy ffmpeg. I entered in the terminal but how to deal with the results?
[10:31] <jrib> !pastebin > ubuntu_todd
[10:31] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: Also, when you want to install another operating system, be it linux, *bsd or beos, then you need to set aside a partition or dedicated space on your harddrive for that operating system.
[10:31] <betuto> bye all
[10:31] <ecmuller> Are you able to compile new programs from source once I get ubuntu partitioned and installed or do I have to use the packages
[10:31] <epic_fi> later
[10:31] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: When booting, go into the GRUB menu, edit the kernel command-line and add "resume=" - that *should* cause the kernel to not look for the hibernate image in swap, and then boot normally
[10:31] <jrib> ecmuller: either
[10:32] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: Finally I urge you to read http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm so that you realize that Linux is not Windows.
[10:32] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: alright, let me give that a shot here real quick
[10:32] <jrib> ecmuller: though the packages are definitely preferred over compiling from source if they are available
[10:33] <ecmuller> blueEagle: you mean winblows does't run ubunto
[10:33] <BonezAU> Hi, what is the command again to stop certain services from booting up? sysctl something.. I forget
[10:33] <ubuntu_todd> jrib:  can not understand that. I never use that before.
[10:33] <Dr_willis_> ecmuller,  you might want to start spelling Ubuntu correctly.
[10:33] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: Please read the link.
[10:33] <jrib> BonezAU: 'man update-rc.d', System -> Administration -> Services, or sysv-rc-conf
[10:33] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I can just copy and paste
[10:33] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I am using pidgin
[10:33] <ecmuller> how do you spell ubantoo
[10:33] <keisangi> hi there, i have no sound at all if i boot in text mode.. while if i boot in graphical mode (gdm) sounds works .. same problem as described here : http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5584843
[10:33] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: yes, but to the paste.ubuntu.com site.  It's very straightforward
[10:34] <keisangi> anyone have an idea?
[10:34] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: That error message you just showed "not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" - that usually happens as a result of a problem with the initrd initial ram-disk image
[10:34] <linuxius> anyone an Idee how to solve this (VirutalBox)??: mdm.System.Registry.getValueNames - unable to open key "\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM" for read
[10:34] <BonezAU> jrib, not what I was thinking of... it's an actual utility that runs in a terminal and allows you to just untick certain services that aren't required, eg Bluetooth
[10:34] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: You would have to have spelled it to join this channel, wouldn't you?
[10:34] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: after I paste that, how could you see my post?
[10:34] <Dr_willis_> !sysv
[10:34] <Dr_willis_> !upstart
[10:34] <jrib> BlueEagle: I gave you 3 and the last one is the one you just described
[10:34] <ecmuller> I just clicked in the chat link
[10:34] <BlueEagle> jrib?
[10:34] <BonezAU> I only did it a couple of weeks ago, and it was sysctl or something very similar
[10:34] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: you tell me the url
[10:35] <jrib> BonezAU: I gave you 3 and the last one is the one you just described
[10:35] <jrib> why can't you guys all get nicks that start with different letters :P
[10:35] <itai> tavi, you still here?
[10:35] <BonezAU> jrib, thanks I will give it a shot
[10:35] <IntuitiveNipple> BonezAU: sysv-rc-conf
[10:35] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: Still there's a high probability that #ubuntu is shown somewhere in your chat client.
[10:35] <BonezAU> IntuitiveNipple, thanks
[10:35] <tavi> itai yes
[10:35] <tavi> ive done that
[10:35] <ubuntu_todd> jrib:http://paste.ubuntu.com/56241/
[10:35] <tavi> but the same problem
[10:35] <tavi> ....
[10:35] <itai> tavi, any progress?
[10:35] <FloodBot1> tavi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:36] <ecmuller> so #ubunti starts with a #
[10:36] <ziroday`> ecmuller: please stop.
[10:36] <epic_fi> guys he's a troll
[10:36] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple:  alright, i tried out resume= on regular and single (recovery) boot, got the same thing
[10:36] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: you don't have the version from medibuntu installed.  You are also using hardy-proposed for some strange reason
[10:36] <ecmuller> you don't know anything about me
[10:36] <jrib> ecmuller: do you have an ubuntu support question? (ask it)
[10:36] <Le-Chuck_ITA> guys, I've been the "ubuntu guy" for two years in my department, I've quarreled with people, I've made people switch because I believed in what ubuntu said
[10:36] <BonezAU> my next question is... I have an old IBM T40 laptop with a Centrino 1.5ghz CPU. It runs very slow... is there any value in me forcing the CPU speed to 1500mhz rather than using speedstep/powernowd to control it? It never leaves my desk and is always connected to AC power. I just want MAXIMUM performance from it... thanks
[10:37] <ubuntu_todd> jrib:How could I change that.
[10:37] <ziroday`> Le-Chuck_ITA: what is your ubuntu problem?
[10:37] <Stupendoussteve> Le-Chuck_ITA, then you saw Linux Mint?
[10:37] <Le-Chuck_ITA> no
[10:37] <albuntu> ecmuller : there are too many other places where you can chit chat. go in other chat servers and you can chit chat all day
[10:37] <ecmuller> yes I need to install ubunto and windoows to get ntfs
[10:37] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: well you shouldn't be using hardy-proposed, so you should disable that first
[10:37] <Le-Chuck_ITA> then I saw so many regression that I am going to throw ubuntu away
[10:37] <Le-Chuck_ITA> and today I found a regression in a LTS UPDATE
[10:37] <jrib> !ntfs > ecmuller
[10:37] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I add medu in my source list
[10:38] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: I think my observation about a problem with initrd might be it then. Check the GRUB entries - see what disks they point to, etc. Is it possible the system did a kernel-update or ran "update-initramfs" prior to the hibernate, and before the system was restarted?
[10:38] <Stupendoussteve> Le-Chuck_ITA, can you explain this "regression" stuff?
[10:38] <ziroday`> Le-Chuck_ITA: if you have an issue, please explain it to us. If you just want to rant, do so in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:38] <Le-Chuck_ITA> which has been properly reported, fix-released, and it's still there. And MANUAL FIDDLING with backport modules breaks sound support. THE OPPOSITE of what "my mother's favourite distro" should be
[10:38] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: you have medibuntu already.  The problem is you also have hardy-proposed.  You need to disable hardy-proposed
[10:38] <Dr_willis_> Stupendoussteve,  i thought about asking.. then decided i dident want to hear a rant. :)
[10:38] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: OK
[10:38] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I don't want to rant, I want to know if you think regressions are handled properly or not in ubuntu. I've reported so many of them in release to release that I'm tired sick of doing that
[10:38] <jrib> Le-Chuck_ITA: you're on 8.10?
[10:39] <Le-Chuck_ITA> now I am on 8.04
[10:39] <Le-Chuck_ITA> and is on 8.04 that I started crying
[10:39] <BonezAU> anyone?
[10:39] <snitko> I've trying to install a package in 8.04, but apt-get keeps saying it can't find it (err 404). Here's how it looks: http://pastie.org/289973 --fix-missing and apt-get update don't help
[10:39] <jrib> Le-Chuck_ITA: fix-released just guarantees it's on the latest development version.  It may not be possible to get the fix into previous versions
[10:39] <snitko> *been
[10:39] <Dr_willis_> I cant say ive ever heard the term 'regression' used befor..  so i have very very little to say on the topic.
[10:39] <patrick> Hi all
[10:39] <BonezAU> hi patrick
[10:39] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: crap, you know what...  i just realized, i was upgrading packages, 'cause it was a stock 7.10 install, in the console.  and w/out thinking about it i hit hibernate in X
[10:39] <Le-Chuck_ITA> because my tablet went out for assistance in june, and I got it back in september, so I had not seen how hardy had "gone bad" on my laptop
[10:39] <ryth> Dr_willis.. I've got both monitors showing exactly the same thing... not exactly what I was expecting haha
[10:40] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: eeeek!!
[10:40] <Guest70932> i have a problem with Cedega and Ubuntu 8.04, cant seem to start cedega 6.1
[10:40] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: yeah, exactly
[10:40] <Guest70932> 6.0.X works fine
[10:40] <Le-Chuck_ITA> jrib: it was a bug introduced in kernel 2.6.24-7
[10:40] <erUSUL> Dr_willis_: something that worked before stop working with a new update
[10:40] <ziroday`> snitko: are you currently connected to the internet?
[10:40] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  thats 'clone' mode.. the nvidia-settings tool lets you have one wide moitor.
[10:40] <erUSUL> Dr_willis_: that's a regression
[10:40] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: OK, so the initrd is possibly messed up?
[10:40] <Le-Chuck_ITA> jrib: the "fix" is "install linux-backport-modules" from the backport repository
[10:40] <Dr_willis_> erUSUL,  sounds like a 'bug' to me. :)
[10:40] <ryth> where do I get the nvidia settings tool?
[10:40] <Le-Chuck_ITA> is this a FIX to a regression introduced in a LTS RELEASE UPDATE?
[10:40] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: Are there any older kernels on there still?
[10:40] <albuntu> snitko : is that pc connected to internet ?
[10:40] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I don't think so
[10:40] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I am tired sick of this policy of ignoring regressions
[10:41] <snitko> ziroday: yes, I checked in browser, files DO NOT exists indeed. There are some newer versions of them
[10:41] <jrib> Le-Chuck_ITA: if that doesn't work, you should be commenting on the bug page?
[10:41] <Le-Chuck_ITA> yes
[10:41] <Le-Chuck_ITA> but TODAY how will I SKYPE with my brand new LTS?
[10:41] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: Yeah, most likely...  you know what, i got it to boot using the initrd.bak it generated
[10:41] <Le-Chuck_ITA> the old kernel that worked is NO LONGER IN THE ARCHIVES
[10:41] <BlueEagle> Dr_willis_: a regression is something that happens when an application decreses in function or reliability when upgraded or due to other software (ie libraries or kernel) being upgraded.
[10:41] <jrib> !enter | Le-Chuck_ITA
[10:41] <BonezAU> my next question is... I have an old IBM T40 laptop with a Centrino 1.5ghz CPU. It runs very slow... is there any value in me forcing the CPU speed to 1500mhz rather than using speedstep/powernowd to control it? It never leaves my desk and is always connected to AC power. I just want MAXIMUM performance from it... thanks
[10:41] <erUSUL> Dr_willis_: well a regression is seen in linux in much worse light than a simply bug... becouse things that worked should keep working and if a bug is there for a long time users know it
[10:41] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: nice one! :)
[10:41] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: it's giving some read-only fs errors though :/ i don't think that'll be a prob though
[10:41] <laku> Why can't I play mp3 files??? I've tried with rhytmbox & amarok!! :<
[10:41] <Dr_willis_> BlueEagle,  Like windows XP to windows Vista. :)
[10:41] <BlueEagle> !mp3 | laku
[10:42] <erUSUL> BonezAU: then change the cpufreq policy to performance
[10:42] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: disabled -proposed already?
[10:42] <snitko> ziroday, albuntu: obviously there's got to be way to tell apt-get to update link to that files, but apt-get update does not help
[10:42] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I just want to hear somebody else admitting that regressions in ubuntu are not dealt with properly
[10:42] <Dr_willis_> erUSUL,  ok. first time today ive ever heard that term used.
[10:42] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: It's limping but you should be able to sort things out now. If all else fails and you've got a LiveCD around, boot from that and then fix the file-system etc
[10:42] <BlueEagle> Dr_willis_: Yes. Many things had regression issues there. ie. creative drivers.
[10:42] <Lynx_> -ruthvenie
[10:42] <BonezAU> erUSUL, how do I do that?
[10:42] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: is this one in source list deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe???
[10:42] <laku> thanks, ubottu
[10:42] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: yeah
[10:42] <BlueEagle> !thanks
[10:43] <erUSUL> BonezAU: man cpufreq-selector ;)
[10:43] <BonezAU> erUSUL, cheers
[10:43] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: only problem is that it's an old fujitsu tablet ;) no usb boot, no cd and no floppy. i had to put the drive in my laptop for the initial install
[10:43] <linuxius> anyone used to VirtualBox?
[10:43] <jrib> linuxius: best to just ask the channel your question
[10:43] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: network boot using PXE ?
[10:43] <epic_fi> linuxius, kinda... what's up?
[10:43] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: Ok done. so what's next?
[10:43] <ziroday`> snitko: to understand correcty, you are connected to the internet currently?
[10:43] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: Ahhh, then a chroot in the other PC will be just as good
[10:43] <snitko> ziroday`: yes I am, absolutely
[10:43] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg=3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1
[10:44] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: don't have the dock for it so while there is a nic, no port ;)
[10:44] <ziroday`> snitko: okay, where in the world are you?
[10:44] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: You're on an uphill battle there!
[10:44] <linuxius> epic_fi: I installed an XP for a little program and get the following error: mdm.System.Registry.getValueNames - unable to open key "\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM" for read
[10:45] <Le-Chuck_ITA> ok do what ubuntu developers do
[10:45] <Dr_willis_> linuxius,  where do you get that error at?
[10:45] <Le-Chuck_ITA> ignore the damn problem
[10:45] <jrib> linuxius: host OS is windows XP?  Are you getting the error on the host or guest?
[10:45] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: yeah, i might just have to do a reinstall.  hopefully i can remember how i configured the fpit driver for the touchscreen.  only reason i'm using 7.10 is because 8.04 has a bug where you touch the screen and X crashes, and it doesn't work at all in the 8.10 alpha
[10:45] <ecmuller> actually I don't think I will get ubotto
[10:45] <tmufficio123456> !lista
[10:45] <snitko> ziroday`: okay ) I just wanted to make it easier. The server is in Newark. it is connected to the internet, because I can connect it and because I've installed other packages before
[10:45] <epic_fi> linuxius, does that error appear when VBox starts up or is it a Windows error, like when you log on?
[10:45] <linuxius> while opening the program
[10:45] <ecmuller> I see that richard stallman is in NAMBLA
[10:45] <ecmuller> that offends me
[10:46] <BlueEagle> ecmuller: That's a personal opinion and more suited for #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:46] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: Done
[10:46] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: try to conver with ffmpeg now
[10:46] <epic_fi> linuxius, okay, have you installed the guest additions yet?
[10:46] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: If you've got into it you should be able to sort the issue out
[10:46] <linuxius> no, windows boots fine, when I start the installed program (data center software for sports) everything is alright, then when I try to connect to a USB device the error comes..
[10:46] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: do you wanner the output of apt-cache policy ffmpeg?
[10:46] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: well, it booted up, i'm running dpkg --configure -a in the console to see if that fixes it up, no errors so far
[10:46] <jrib> !guidelines > ecmuller
[10:46] <albuntu> snitko : try googling for the repos of your ubuntu version and change your sources.list
[10:46] <Lightlancer> someone also have problems with cedega 6.1 (it wont start)
[10:46] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: nope
[10:47] <snitko> ziroday`: the thing is, the files really do not exist. If you check the names in browser, there's similar files, just a bit newer and, therefore, with a different names.
[10:47] <jrib> !who | linuxius
[10:47] <linuxius> epic_fi: no, windows boots fine, when I start the installed program (data center software for sports) everything is alright, then when I try to connect to a USB device the error comes..
[10:47] <ziroday`> snitko: you can try remove those files
[10:47] <epic_fi> linuxius, ok... so what it's saying is, is that it can't locate a driver for whatever device you're plugging in
[10:47] <epic_fi> linuxius, what are you trying to plug in?
[10:47] <snitko> albuntu: yep ) the version is hardy. all repos are correct
[10:47] <linuxius> jrib: yes, host OS is Windows XP...
[10:47] <Tarandus> How can I select a directory with pictures, and have a screensaver display them as a slideshow?
[10:48] <snitko> ziroday`: emm, from ubuntu repo?
[10:48] <jrib> linuxius: where's ubuntu in all this?
[10:48] <linuxius> epic_fi: a USB Docking station for a cycling computer. It is recognized in the VitualBox though...
[10:48] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: same problem as before.
[10:48] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: ok, show me apt-cache policy ffmpeg then
[10:48] <ubuntu_todd> jrib:Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1
[10:48] <BlueEagle> jrib: I assume he's running an operating system in virtual box.
[10:48] <linuxius> jrib: I have standard Ubuntu, installed VirtualBox, and Windows XP in that...
[10:49] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: Still having problems with that device then? the cdc-acm kernel module was no help?
[10:49] <openstandards> hi
[10:49] <epic_fi> linuxius, so the error is happening in windows when you try to plug in the device?
[10:49] <openstandards> resize2fs -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 10G <--- does that reduce by 10gig or down to 10 gig?
[10:49] <ziroday`> snitko: no, no from your local computer. Try doing this sudo apt-get remove linux-libc-dev libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev
[10:49] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56250/
[10:49] <jrib> linuxius: you just said the host OS was windows...
[10:50] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: k, paste the command you are using here
[10:50] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: is that problem of libmp3lime or the like?
[10:50] <ziroday`> snitko: wait or sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-libc-dev libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev
[10:50] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: hi... ;-) yes, tried to install vmware... without success, now trying VirtualBox...
[10:50] <snitko> ziroday`: no, none of this worked
[10:51] <epic_fi> linuxius, ok, if the error is happening on the windows side of things, then you need to install the drivers in order for the operating system to recognize and register the device
[10:51] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: you man the ffmpeg. that is   ffmpeg -i I.flv I.mp4
[10:51] <linuxius> epic_fi: no, I can plug it in, then boot, everything is fine. Within the program, there's a button which should connect to the device and get the files. when I press it, the error occurs...
[10:51] <ziroday`> snitko: hmm, have you run sudo apt-get update lately?
[10:51] <epic_fi> so this is a windows error
[10:51] <IntuitiveNipple> jrib: From what linuxius said yesterday, he's running Ubuntu on the host, trying to get access to a USB cycle computer that presents as a USB serial device in windows, and is causing the Linux cdc-acm kernel module to load in Ubuntu, but from Ubuntu he has no tools to access the cycling computer, so is trying Windows in V.B. but now, it seems, is having V.B. USB host issues :)
[10:51] <linuxius> jrib: sorry, guess I misunderstud your question..
[10:52] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: thx
[10:52] <snitko> ziroday`: yes, it suggest running it after it could find those files, so I did
[10:52] <tadf> www.payhack.com ==>> Nulled script,warez,movie,music,for need your all
[10:52] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: looks like it's going okay, thanks for the help and jogging my memory ;)
[10:52] <tadf> www.payhack.com ==>> Nulled script,warez,movie,music,for need your all
[10:52] <FloodBot1> tadf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:52] <IntuitiveNipple> jrib: It looks like the cycling computer uses a proprietary modem-like command set
[10:52] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: Great!
[10:52] <ziroday`> snitko: as well as sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[10:52] <snitko> ziroday`: sorry, spelled wrong ) read: yes, it suggested running it after it couldn't find those files, so I did
[10:52] <jrib> IntuitiveNipple: ah, thanks :)
[10:53] <IntuitiveNipple> jrib: yeah... confusing!
[10:53] <ryth> ok.. it's offical. I'm fairly quickly breaking my installation of ubuntu..
[10:53] <Lightlancer> cedega 6.1 wont start, is there a fix for this?? error: GUI is missing
[10:53] <ryth> how do I change the resolution
[10:53] <IntuitiveNipple> ryth: Step away from the Pc and put the Ubuntu down :p
[10:53] <ziroday`> ryth: what video card?
[10:53] <snitko> ziroday`: yes, dist-upgrade too. didn't upgrade anything though
[10:53] <ryth> no kidding.. everything I try to undo what I did it gets a bit worse
[10:53] <ryth> nvidia
[10:54] <ziroday`> snitko: hmm, that is extremely odd. You sure you can't remove those affected missing packages?
[10:54] <ziroday`> !nvidia > ryan_
[10:54] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  this is when it pays to have  backed up your original xorg.conf :)  but ive never broken anything byusing the nvidia-settings tool
[10:54] <ziroday`> !nvidia > ryth
[10:54] <ryth> Dr_willis I did
[10:54] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: So what's next should I do?
[10:54] <ryth> how do I put it back
[10:54] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: I'm not sure why it works for me, but I can give you a list of all the packages I have installed that mention ffmpeg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56251/  You probably need one of these
[10:54] <ryth> I do have a backup of it
[10:54] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  it shoud of made a archive/backup of the origianl xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[10:55] <bjacques> Hi, does anyone know in intrepid where the gstreamer plugins installation script is and/or which package provides it?
[10:55] <ryth> I copied it to xorg.conf_backup but right now my resolution is at like 640x480
[10:55] <ryth> how do I change it
[10:55] <ryth> ..and I'm also back to one monitor :P
[10:55] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  sounds like its not using the nvidia drivers.
[10:56] <jrib> bjacques: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help
[10:56] <ryth> how do I check
[10:56] <snitko> ziroday`: what do you mean 'remove', they're not even installed
[10:56] <Dr_willis_> look in the xorg.conf  on the 'Driver' line. see if its nvidia or nv. I always enable the showlogo option so i actually SEE the nvidia logo splash screen on each X startup.. so i am sure im using the nvidia drivers
[10:56] <snitko> ziroday`: i tried removing, but there's nothing to remove
[10:56] <ziroday`> snitko: okay. Do sudo apt-get clean and see if it clears the error
[10:57] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  hers my xorg.conf for an example.. it has tv out enabled..  in widescreen  mode.
[10:57] <po> how can i add the "not null" attribute to a column in mysql?

[10:58] <markit> hi, where can I find what mirror put in sources.list? I've it.archive.ubuntu.com but I get a Hash Sum error in a package, and would like to change mirror then
[10:58] <openstandards> resize2fs -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 10G <--- does that reduce by 10gig or down to 10 gig?
[10:58] <snitko> albuntu: I'm telling you, the files do not exist, nor server neither my local computer with browser sees them, definitely 404 )

[10:59] <ziroday`> snitko: awesome, have fun
[11:00] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56252/ this is the result after ffmpeg --version
[11:00] <markit> IntuitiveNipple: what is your source? I mean, instead of mine it.archive.ubuntu.com what do you use?
[11:00] <Dr_willis_> markit,  you could chang the it. to some other country code. or take it off.. or try us.
[11:00] <IntuitiveNipple> markit: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[11:00] <markit> thanks Dr_willis_, good idea. thanks IntuitiveNipple
[11:00] <snitko> ziroday`: oops, no, it didn't )
[11:00] <padee> hi everyone. is here a mount/amount specialist available?
[11:00] <Dr_willis_> markit,  obvious thing to do eh? :)
[11:01] <albuntu> !ask | padee
[11:01] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: did you install the packages I pastebinned?
[11:01] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: any Idea what I could do?
[11:01] <ziroday`> snitko: you had me hoping :), erm I really have no idea from here on. Sorry
[11:01] <snitko> ziroday`: now there's some other files not found. okay, anyway thanks. I'll better check this thing myself )
[11:01] <padee> i only try to be polite... :)
[11:01] <Dr_willis_> markit,  im not sure that by not having a country code..if it goes to a 'random' server or one specific/round robin one
[11:01] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: Two people in the last couple of days have fixed VirtualBox USB issues... let me dig out the two URLs I found for them
[11:02] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: which one? I install this one sudo apt-get install ffmpeg=3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1
[11:02] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: thx
[11:02] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: I'm not sure why it works for me, but I can give you a list of all the packages I have installed that mention ffmpeg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56251/  You probably need one of these
[11:03] <albuntu> padee : for mount type "man mount" in terminal , for unmount type : "man umount"
[11:03] <markit> Dr_willis_: isn't scaring the error I got?
[11:03] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: It seems that my problem is my audio codes.

[11:05] <Lightlancer> can someone help me with my problem cedega
[11:05] <albuntu> padee : try mounting it with : mount /dev/sdb1 /media/padee
[11:05] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: how could I install what you mentioned. sudo apt-get install gstreamr0.10-ffmpeg and the like. Should I install all of them
[11:05] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: How could I check if I have already installed that kind of packages?
[11:06] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: no, install the ones that sound like they may have something to do with your issue first, like the ones that have mpeg4 in the name
[11:06] <albuntu> ubuntu_todd : sudo apt-cache policy package_name
[11:06] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: when you try to install it, it will tell you if it's already installed anyway
[11:06] <ryth> alright how do I make sure the nvidia drivers are installed? :/
[11:06] <padee> i tried that already a couple of times.
[11:07] <albuntu> ryth : system - administration - hardware drivers. see if they are active
[11:07] <ryth> it says enabled
[11:07] <Dr_willis_> ryth,  try running nvidia-settings and see what it says?
[11:07] <albuntu> ryth : then they are installed
[11:08] <ryth> where is the nvidia-settings
[11:08] <keisangi> someone could help me ? it seems sound service isn't correctly setup when booting in text mode
[11:08] <keisangi> if i boot normaly in graphical mode, sound works though ..
[11:08] <keisangi> i'd like to bypass gdm, so i start in text mode and start my X session manually .. but then i have no sound :/
[11:08] <ryth> I haven't downloaded and instaled nvidia-setting tools... I'm not sure where to get it or how to install it as root
[11:08] <jrib> keisangi: how are you starting in text mode?
[11:08] <bshakil> how do i ask a question here...I have a question submitted on ubuntuforums.org... can i post the link here??? or should i paste it here .. Its a long question
[11:09] <albuntu> !paste | bshakil
[11:09] <jrib> bshakil: you should summarize the problem and link to the thread
[11:09] <keisangi> jrib, i added "text" at the end of kernel  line in grub menu
[11:09] <snitko> ziroday`: btw, could it be because I recently changed something in /var?
[11:09] <ryth> where do I download the nvidia-settings tool?
[11:10] <jrib> keisangi: I don't know what that does, but instead I would undo that and just disable the gdm service from starting with System -> Administration -> Services
[11:10] <chris4585> ryth, in a terminal type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[11:10] <master_> hi

[11:11] <master_> help me for skystar-2.6d remote
[11:11] <bshakil> ok i managed to put it on paste bin
[11:11] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, : i understand that, but i need it to scan ntfs drives
[11:11] <jrib> keisangi: services-admin
[11:11] <bshakil> http://paste.ubuntu.com/56255/
[11:11] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, also you do want to pass on win viruses to your friends
[11:11] <keisangi> jrib, thanks, i will try that
[11:12] <siigna> IntuitiveNipple: perfect, booted back up like a charm, thanks again :)
[11:12] <jrib> keisangi: "graphical login" is what it is referred to as
[11:12] <IntuitiveNipple> siigna: great :)
[11:12] <ubuntu_todd> jrib:http://paste.ubuntu.com/56256/
[11:12] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I can not install libavcodec
[11:12] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: Does it provide a .desktop file?
[11:12] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: why?
[11:12] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, not that i saw
[11:13] <lakitu2> what is the command to search within a directory structure?
[11:13] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: You can always create a launcher manually
[11:13] <lakitu2> (that is, within it & its subdirectories)
[11:13] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: erm sorry, I see your paste now
[11:13] <erUSUL> lakitu2: find
[11:13] <lakitu2> ok
[11:13] <albuntu> ubuntu_todd : are you in intrepid ?
[11:13] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, what would i launch? the .conf file?
[11:13] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56256/
[11:13] <albuntu> ubuntu_todd : if you are in intrepid than #ubuntu+1
[11:13] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: right, this stems back from your hardy-proposed issue.  You can skip this one.  You shouldn't need any -dev packages
[11:14] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: Were there no install instructions? There must be an executable binary
[11:14] <bshakil> any one on my problem... i have a routing related issue at http://paste.ubuntu.com/56255/
[11:14] <prodigel> hi all. I'm having a wine problem. no one on #wine channel though. I'm trying to run acad.exe and the message I get is: "err:module:attach_process_dlls "adlmdll.dll" failed to initialize, aborting"
[11:14] <jrib> prodigel: #winehq is the channel
[11:14] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, there was a deb package, & i installed that, & it said after it was done, that it had been installed. now i need to run it
[11:14] <ubuntu_todd> albuntu: I need fix my ffmpeg problem first
[11:15] <prodigel> jrib: thanks :)
[11:15] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: Can you pastebin the output from "dpkg -L package-name", also have you tried entering the name of the program in a terminal?
[11:16] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, yeah i tried several name variants
[11:16] <Indoctrine> How do I get a list of packages installed on a text based install?
[11:16] <prodigel> jrib: thanks :)
[11:16] <Dr_willis_> !clone | Indoctrine
[11:16] <Jordan_U> Indoctrine: dpkg --get-selections
[11:17] <Indoctrine> Thankyou, Jordan_U... more explanatory than the command.
[11:17] <Dr_willis_> :)
[11:17] <bshakil> in there any different channel for Ubuntu Network Related Issues??
[11:17] <Paddy_EIRE> bshakil, no just #ubuntu
[11:17] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, No packages found matching kav4ws_5.7-17_i386.
[11:19] <Jordan_U> Indoctrine: dpkg --get-selections | awk '/install/{print $1}'
[11:19] <bshakil> Anyone .... Routing Related Issue .......http://paste.ubuntu.com/56255/
[11:19] <Jordan_U> Indoctrine: That command will output just the names of the packages you have installed each on its own line
[11:19] <Indoctrine> Jordan_U: Eh? I'd forgotten the name of a package I installed today that crashed my server.
[11:20] <Jordan_U> Indoctrine: You probably want to look in /var/log/dpkg.log
[11:20] <basy> how to scan FTP dir structure and store that structure into local text file?
[11:20] <jrib> Jordan_U: that catches "deinstall"
[11:20] <Indoctrine> I need help with my samba, I can write to my server, but I cannot READ or copy from it. I have a chmod of 777 set on the hdd.
[11:20] <Indoctrine> Jordan_U: I've already found and deleted it
[11:21] <Jordan_U> jrib: Good catch, seems like it's not what he really wants anyway
[11:21] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, is a .d file what i'm looking for? or no
[11:21] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: No, just the package name, try "dpkg -L kav4ws"
[11:22] <bshakil> should i paste my problem again in pastebin???... because i think no one is understanding my issue i guess ...
[11:22] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I install mos of them except libavcodec-dev and libavutil-dev which I can not installed due to the dependency
[11:22] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, how do i do the pastebin command on that?
[11:22] <lakitu2> pastebinit
[11:22] <IntuitiveNipple> bshakil: This *might* help, but as you say, your scenario is complicated: sudo ip route add default via <IP_ADDRESS> dev rndis0
[11:23] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: still doesn't work?
[11:23] <bshakil> let me try .. this and coma back to you
[11:23] <lakitu2> nevermind, i'll figure it out
[11:24] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: "dpkg -L kav4ws | pastebinit" or just copy and paste the output into the browser
[11:24] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: Yes, the same problem
[11:24] <Jordan_U> !paste | lakitu2
[11:24] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: ah right, you do actually need the medibuntu versions of the packages probably.  So you need to do 'apt-cache policy PACKAGE' and make sure the medibuntu version is installed.  If it's not, then install it (like we did with ffmpeg).  Makes sense?
[11:25] <lakitu2> that command didn't work, but ok (pastebinit)
[11:26] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: libavcodec-dev:  Installed: (none)   Candidate: 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 So how could I install that.
[11:26] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/m239341ed
[11:26] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: you can ignore the -dev packages
[11:26] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: But I install most of them except this twe -dev version
[11:27] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: right.  But you have the hardy-proposed version.  You need the medibuntu version
[11:27] <new2ubuntu> where do i get autocad compatible software?
[11:27] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: what's the name of medibuntu version name of that package?
[11:28] <new2ubuntu> where do i get autocad compatible software?
[11:28] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: Looks like you probably want to run /opt/kaspersky/kav4ws/bin/kav4ws-kavscanner
[11:28] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, ok will try. brb
[11:28] <new2ubuntu> where do i get autocad compatible software?
[11:28] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: It also looks like the package has something set to start automatically at boot
[11:28] <Indoctrine> How do I make permissions inherit from their folder? I currently have sudo chmod +rwx /storage and I want that to extend to all future and current children files and folders.
[11:28] <lakitu2> Jordan_U,  Error reading config: Cannot open /etc/opt/kaspersky/kav4ws.conf
[11:28] <new2ubuntu> where do i get autocad compatible software?
[11:28] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: I'll walk you through an example:  let's look at the first package on the list I gave you that might have something to do with your problem: libavcodec1d.  See what version you have installed with 'apt-cache policy libavcodec1d'.  Pastebin the output
[11:28] <new2ubuntu> where do i get autocad compatible software?
[11:29] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, ah, do i have to reboot, then?
[11:29] <jrib> !repeat | new2ubuntu
[11:29] <new2ubuntu> alright
[11:29] <joot> new2ubuntu; stop repeating your question I am not sure that you can get auto cad compatable
[11:30] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: Most likely not, try running "cd /opt/kaspersky/kav4ws/bin/ && ./kav4ws-kavscanner"
[11:30] <worldtraveller12> hello all
[11:30] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56259/
[11:30] <worldtraveller12> could use some help here: want to remove some files.
[11:30] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: do you see how the version that is installed (has a ***) is not the medibuntu version?
[11:30] <lakitu2> Jordan_U,  Error reading config: Cannot open /etc/opt/kaspersky/kav4ws.conf
[11:30] <DawidJoubert> You know why Java sucks and is definately a boring corporate language that might be useless? Because I cannot find a single Java IRC channel with more than 5 users in it? (Or I suck at googling)
[11:30] <ryth> YEAY!!!
[11:31] <Dr_willis_> DawidJoubert,  they re all on AIM chatting
[11:31] <IntuitiveNipple> DawidJoubert: Or, because Java is so easy to master no one goes looking for support on IRC :p
[11:31] <DawidJoubert> Okay down to business, dad's pc with ubuntu keeps freezing up after a few minutes (sometimes instantly, sometimes longer) - where do I start to debug this?

[11:31] <worldtraveller12> ?
[11:31] <Jordan_U> lakitu2: Also note that avg free is available for linux and AFIK Just Works™
[11:31] <jrib> DawidJoubert: ##java doesn't have more than 5 users?
[11:31] <IntuitiveNipple> DawidJoubert: check the log-files in /var/log/kern.log etc. for clues. Consider over-heating or RAM module problems
[11:32] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, kaspersky has the highest detection rates, according to my research
[11:32] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: So  I install 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 0?
[11:33] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: yes, with this syntax: sudo apt-get install libavcodec1d=3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1
[11:33] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: But how could I uninstall 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.2 before I install  3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 0
[11:33] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: you don't need to uninstall, APT will take care of it for you
[11:33] <joot> new2ubuntu: maybe this will help you , http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080612211001AAHOzjc
[11:34] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, that conf file is there when i install (i checked), but after i try to run the kav-scanner, it disappears, apparently, & it says it can't find it
[11:34] <new2ubuntu> joot: Thanks
[11:36] <ryth> Dr_willis thanks for all the help :)\
[11:36] <bshakil> routing command anyone... i have a network of 10.1.254.x ... i want to route it through gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:36] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: You are genius. It do works after I install the package!!!!
[11:36] <ryth> and everyone else too :) I'll be on tomorrow but right now I gotta go to bed
[11:36] <_haywire_> cya ryth
[11:37] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: what's the mean of "deb"?
[11:38] <bshakil> guys can anyone tell me the routing command... I want to route the network <IP_ADDRESS> to gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:38] <joot> deb means debian
[11:38] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: in what context?  It's short for "debian" or a file using the debian packaging format (.deb)
[11:38] <magnetron> bshakil, the command is "route"
[11:39] <bshakil> i mean complete command..
[11:39] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: what's the relationship between deb and medibuntu and ubuntu?
[11:40] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: ubuntu is based on debian.  ubuntu (and medibuntu) packages are in the .deb format
[11:40] <jrib> !debian | ubuntu_todd
[11:40] <magnetron> ubuntu_todd, debian and ubuntu are distributions, medibuntu is a set of packages that are made for ubuntu but not part of it
[11:40] <methods> i uninstalled my fglrx hardware driver and now compiz doesn't start at alll!! talks about xgl not being enabled and falls back to metacity
[11:40] <vitellone> prova
[11:40] <methods> http://pastie.caboo.se/private/rmaxkjf7d7ib7fnpocpnuq
[11:41] <Titan> LOL @ http://ubuntusatanic.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&page=1#Item_0
[11:41] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: You told the package with deb has nothing to do with problem
[11:42] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: nah, I said the packages ending with "-dev" were unrelated.  Those packages are used for building software
[11:42] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: so that -dev means development
[11:42] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: yep
[11:44] <ubuntu_todd> can I use command like this "!debian | ubuntu_todd" in my pidgin?
[11:44] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, is sudo dpkg -r kav4ws what i use to remove it, & try to reinstall it?
[11:44] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: can I use command like this "!debian | ubuntu_todd" in my pidgin?
[11:44] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: sure, but it's better to do this: /msg ubottu debian      .  Then you will get a private message from ubottu and can ask him more factoids in that private message
[11:45] <master_> help me for ss2 tv card remote with remote lirc program pls
[11:45] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: But others told me ubottu is a machine not a person
[11:45] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: he is
[11:45] <jrib> a machine
[11:46] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: so how could he replies to me in private message. Can he understand my question?
[11:46] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: you can ask him factoids.  like "debian"
[11:47] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: so all the !foo stuff you see in this channel, he can tell you privately
[11:47] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: what's the !foo?
[11:47] <JacobSingh> Hi, I have a Toshiba 305 laptop (atheros wifi w/ ndiswrapper).  It has been fine on 8.04 for 9 months, but recently I booted into Vista for a couple days (for the first time in many months).  When I came back to Ubuntu, the wireless options has disappeared from the applet
[11:48] <JacobSingh> where should I look?
[11:48] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: I mean any factoid that you see here like !mp3 or !repos, etc.
[11:48] <ubuntu_todd> !mp3
[11:48] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: is that?
[11:48] <d_rwin> how can I take a backup of my downloaded apps and reinstall ubuntu 7.10
[11:49] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: sure that's an example of a factoid you can ask ubottu privately
[11:49] <jrib> !clone | d_rwin
[11:49] <pillar> copy then paste
[11:49] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: but nothing come out when I type !mp3 here. I can get the private info after i type /msg ubottu debian
[11:50] <d_rwin> what s !clone and !automate
[11:50] <jrib> d_rwin: !clone is the trigger for the information ubottu gave you
[11:50] <ubuntu_todd> !debian
[11:50] <EvilBro> Greetings, my sound had mysteriously stopped. I've checked the hardware-side and it works. After a reboot the problem is still there (it simply doesn't produce any sound). Does anyone have tips on how to figure out where the problem might be?
[11:50] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: ubottu responded to you when you did !mp3 and !debian.  Explore with him in a private message please
[11:51] <movedx> I have a Ubuntu server running on a VPS. When I upload files they're given a very restrictive set of file permissions. Is this an OS level security feature, or the FTPd doing this?
[11:51] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: Got it. Thanks.
[11:51] <jrib> movedx: doubt I can help, but what permissions are being given?
[11:51] <IntuitiveNipple> movedx: FTPd usually
[11:51] <ubuntu_todd> jrib:Got it, I shoud do "/msg ubottu mp3"
[11:51] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: yeah
[11:51] <movedx> jrib: Just read & write to the owner and nothing else for the other groups.
[11:52] <movedx> IntuitiveNipple: I thought as much. I'm checking the settings now.
[11:52] <d_rwin> jrib: what is a trigger , diff b/w the channel (#c]automate)
[11:53] <jrib> d_rwin: it's just a phrase that ubottu sees and responds to
[11:53] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: I got a lot from you. Thanks.
[11:53] <jrib> d_rwin: it's not important for your question, you just need what ubottu actually told you :)
[11:53] <jrib> ubuntu_todd: no problem
[11:53] <aldipc> hi!
[11:54] <dissard> hi
[11:56] <aldipc> I have a problem. I have a fritzbox dsl modem/router which gives dhcp addresses from <IP_ADDRESS>-200, I have a wireless router connected to <IP_ADDRESS> which has a dhcp server in it too, with an address range of <IP_ADDRESS>-100 to which a laptop is connect on <IP_ADDRESS>, I have setup a static route on the fritzbox with a networkaddress of <IP_ADDRESS> mas <IP_ADDRESS> and a gateway...
[11:56] <aldipc> ...of <IP_ADDRESS>, but still i cannot ping the laptop from my pc which is connected to the fritzbox.. what am I doing wrong?
[11:56] <new2ubuntu> qcad asks for permissions. What are these permissions?
[11:58] <aunvoh> can someone help me setup compiz? something seems to be wrong with it...
[11:58] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: Have you set up a reciprocal route on <IP_ADDRESS> to route from 192.168.0/24 to 192.168.178/24 ?
[11:58] <ubuntu_todd> Thanks all the guys here. I learn about here from you guys. I can get almost the answers I need when I find any kind of problem related to ubuntu.
[11:59] <aldipc> intuitivenippple: in the wireless lan there is a route with destination <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>, just as I would expect.. I can ping my pc from my laptop, but not my laptop from my pc!
[12:00] <aldipc> totally weird!
[12:00] <DawidJoubert> aldipc.. primitive firewalls may block a basic ping... try somethine more advanced
[12:00] <ubuntu_todd> aldipc: is it because the static or dynamic ip address?
[12:00] <aldipc> on both systems I have ubuntu installed... same version.. so why would it then work only in one way?
[12:00] <aldipc> this is driving me crazy
[12:00] <aldipc> as alwys
[12:01] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: so, from the laptop, it sees ping replies (confirming that reciprocal routing is OK), but trying to route into that subnet fails?
[12:01] <jeeves> is anyone here any good with Samba?  I've been pulling my hair out for the past 13 hours, and I STILL can't figure this out
[12:01] <aldipc> intuitivenipple: right!
[12:01] <[agatha]> hi, i don't know what's exactly the problem because yesterday it was working fine, but my computer has no sound at all... i have checked and it's not in mute or anything, so i really dont have a clue of what may be happening...
[12:01] <qweqweqwe> where do i set locale on 8.04?
[12:02] <[agatha]> any ideas?
[12:02] <F5pvg> hi all !
[12:02] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: I'd recommend running tcpdump monitoring ICMP packets on the laptop, and then from the PC start a ping to the laptop. That way you can find out if the laptop is receiving the packets and they are lost on the return trip, or if the routing into the sub-net is faulty
[12:02] <qweqweqwe> [agatha], try running dmesg - do you see sound hardware starting up?
[12:02] <[agatha]> moment
[12:03] <d_rwin> my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system
[12:03] <F5pvg> I want remove my boot for reinstall with USB netinstall. What must i do for remove boot ?
[12:03] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: interestingly, I wrote an awk script yesterday to help a network admin solve a similar issue. See it might help: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/NetworkPacketMonitoringWithAwk
[12:03] <aldipc> but in principle my setup should work!!
[12:04] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: but in practice... !
[12:04] <aldipc> I just don't understand why it doesn't, especially because the problem is only one way!
[12:04] <[agatha]> hmmm not really qwe1
[12:04] <[agatha]> qweqweqwe,
[12:04] <[agatha]> i cant see anything but maybe im just not recognizing it
[12:04] <aldipc> I'll try that command. one moment
[12:05] <EvilBro> (let me try again with my invisibility cloak off)... Ubuntu stopped playing sound. Can someone help me try to figure out what is wrong?
[12:05] <new2ubuntu> plz help me use autocad files in qcad or any other ubuntu program
[12:06] <d_rwin> my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system
[12:06] <aldipc> hmm... I have to install the script there..
[12:07] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: Have you confirmed that the PC is routing packets to the default gateway (the dsl router) by monitoring the traffic?
[12:07] <Donnie> Ciao a tutti
[12:07] <new2ubuntu> plz help me use autocad files in qcad or any other ubuntu program
[12:07] <madwiz> sup all; can someone give me a hand with xchat and psybnc?  my username matches my login/username in psy -- and i am using unicode 8 --- im not sure where to begin on the troubleshoot
[12:07] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: Only if you want to try that... I'd use Wireshark or tcpdump manually on the PC and laptop to check on what is happening
[12:07] <aldipc> my pc is connected to my fritzbox dsl router which works fine.. internet works fine from the laptop which is connected over a wire to the wirelessmodem
[12:08] <aldipc> the laptop can ping the pc, but the pc cannot ping the laptop
[12:08] <aldipc> how do I use tcpdump
[12:08] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: great, but have you actually checked what is 'on the wire' when the PC pings the laptop on the other sub-net?
[12:08] <aldipc> no suitable device found it says
[12:09] <d_rwin> jrib: my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system
[12:09] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: the command format shown in my wiki article, but without the pipe to awk
[12:09] <joot> new2ubuntu: I think you need to understand the linux system a little better before trying to run qcad and similar. Get to know about permissions and general linux workings I do not know about cad programs though
[12:09] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: sudo tcpdump -i $INTERFACE -n -l -O icmp
[12:09] <new2ubuntu> ok
[12:10] <aldipc> okay I will try that.. one moment it listens now
[12:10] <d_rwin> my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system
[12:11] <aldipc> intuitivenipple: nothing
[12:11] <[agatha]> ok i restarted and in the login screen there's a sound... when the session starts no sound again, no matter what
[12:11] <aldipc> intuitivenipple: but when I ping my own laptop from another xterm window tcpdump doesn't show anything either!
[12:12] <lakitu2> Jordan_U, i figured it out =P i wasn't using sudo before the kav-scanner command. but it wasn't telling me 'no permissions..' =P anyway
[12:13] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: On the same PC? You'd need to monitor the 'lo' localhost interface
[12:13] <aldipc> anyway pinging the laptop from the pc does not show anything!!
[12:13] <d_rwin> my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system
[12:14] <Dreamglider> i installed the ATI drivers for my Radeon 9800 card last night, and now when i start my pc when i should be getting the login screen the monitor goes blanck or turns of, how can i fix this _
[12:14] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: Are you saying that monitoring ICMP on the laptop's ethernet interface isn't seeing incoming ICMP echo requests from the PC?
[12:14] <d_rwin> apart from autoremove ,autoclean ,clean what else can I do
[12:14] <aldipc> right
[12:14] <aldipc> I will now connect a 2nd laptop to the wireless router to see if pinging from the 1st to 2nd laptop will give a tcpdump result!
[12:15] <Dr3mro> how to configure network with colinux plz
[12:15] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: ok, that helps. that says that <IP_ADDRESS> isn't routing stuff... so either it doesn't get the packets forwarded to it from the dsl/router, OR the routing table or netfilters/iptables rules on <IP_ADDRESS> are causing a problem
[12:15] <ushills> d_win apt-get clean will remove installation files, apt-cache search will search and give information.
[12:16] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: A good test :) Reduce the problem to it's smallest set
[12:16] <d_rwin> ushills: where are my downloaded .devb files are stored
[12:16] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: Also, I'd set up a static route on the PC too, for the 192.168.0/24 via <IP_ADDRESS> - if that doesn't work you can be pretty sure the problem is on <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:17] <ushills> dr_win not too sure
[12:18] <IntuitiveNipple> d_rwin: you mean the .deb files that apt-get downloads? /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:18] <aldipc> i can ping the 2nd laptop from the first!!
[12:18] <cricri> bonjour à tous
[12:18] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: Both on the same Wifi sub-net (192.168.0/24) ?
[12:18] <aldipc> right
[12:18] <ushills> !fr | cricri
[12:18] <aldipc> they are now both connected to the wirelessmodem via cable
[12:19] <cricri> tank you bye
[12:19] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: ok, so that won't involve much in the way of routing on <IP_ADDRESS> ... try my static-route suggestion for the PC
[12:20] <d_rwin> IntuitiveNipple: need to rreinstall but not loose packages
[12:20] <aldipc> well... if I now connect the second laptop to the fritzbox and it works then I know this static route on the pc will not change anything right?
[12:20] <aldipc> sorryy
[12:20] <aldipc> then it WILL solve the problem
[12:21] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: I'm getting slightly confused with the precise situation right now, but I think you can handle it :)
[12:21] <aldipc> intuitivenipple: no I can't!
[12:22] <aldipc> intuitivenipple: it's eays I have wiredrouter1 connected to the internet and to my pc
[12:22] <King_Kickass> is it normal that the windows look ugly and strange in 8.10 beta?
[12:23] <aldipc> wiredrouter1 is also connected to router2 and router2 has the address <IP_ADDRESS> and router2 has laptop1 on address <IP_ADDRESS> connected to it..
[12:23] <aldipc> now i connected the 2nd laptop to router1 and the same problem occurs.. I cannot ping to laptop1
[12:24] <aldipc> somehow the packets are not passed..
[12:24] <aldipc> host not reachable it says on the laptop2
[12:24] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: If the PC can't ping the laptop on <IP_ADDRESS> from a 192.168.178/24 that suggests a problem in the routing table and/or netfilters on <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:25] <King_Kickass> maybe pcs from aldi suck
[12:25] <aldipc> you mean on router2?
[12:25] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: do you have command-line access to <IP_ADDRESS> or is it only a web control-panel?
[12:25] <aldipc> it is a webcontrol panel
[12:25] <aldipc> I have the routing table of router2 here
[12:25] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: can you pastebin it?
[12:25] <aldipc> <IP_ADDRESS> subnet <IP_ADDRESS> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:26] <aldipc> destination <IP_ADDRESS> subnet <IP_ADDRESS> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:26] <quanquan> a little hungry
[12:26] <aldipc> that would mean anything it gets for <IP_ADDRESS> is passed to <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:26] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: is that it? what is the *complete* routing table on <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[12:26] <aldipc> and I guess <IP_ADDRESS> is the address of the router2
[12:26] <quanquan> wave
[12:26] <quanquan> quit
[12:26] <aldipc>  no it is not complete
[12:26] <quanquan> exit
[12:26] <aldipc> here it goes
[12:27] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: I need to see the complete table... pastebin it please :)
[12:27] <aldipc> destination subnet gateway

[12:28] <aldipc> it's on a different pc
[12:28] <[agatha]> something like alsaconf?
[12:28] <aldipc> intuitivenipple: you got it right?
[12:28] <JewingGum> Is there any UML software for Ubuntu!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[12:29] <JewingGum> Is there any UML software for Ubuntu!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????ž
[12:29] <Calamari> not that i've heard of, but it wouldnt suprise me if there was an open source one
[12:29] <IntuitiveNipple> aldipc: Is the WiFi router running any kind of firewall?
[12:30] <outbackwifi> hello
[12:30] <IntuitiveNipple> JewingGum: You mean User Mode Linux?
[12:30] <zoyd> hi
[12:30] <ifireball> JewingGum: Dia.
[12:31] <JewingGum> Nope
[12:31] <aldipc> going to this doom3.zoy.org crashed my firefox
[12:31] <JewingGum> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language
[12:31] <IntuitiveNipple> JewingGum: Unified Modelling Language?
[12:31] <qb_sleep> UML
[12:31] <IntuitiveNipple> JewingGum: How about the UML tools for Eclipse?
[12:31] <qb_sleep> Dia helps you with UML diagrams
[12:31] <outbackwifi> JewingGum: argouml
[12:31] <JewingGum> Eclipse is slow :(
[12:32] <JewingGum> I will try with arg
[12:32] <JewingGum> thing :p
[12:32] <qb_sleep> But there is no specific one like Visio for windows
[12:32] <Guest18281> ok, what causes a "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILUE" when trying to connec to my Samba server
[12:32] <IntuitiveNipple> Depends if you want to 'draw' or create programs from the models
[12:32] <gaoshuai> hello
[12:32] <JewingGum> I want to draw
[12:32] <IntuitiveNipple> Guest18281: incorrect/no user/password combinations, or restricted access to the share
[12:33] <IntuitiveNipple> JewingGum: Dia does some of that and has some model symbol collections
[12:33]  * outbackwifi thinks dia is like visio
[12:33] <[agatha]> could someone just tell me the command to reconfigure alsa? i cannot seem to find it anywhere :D
[12:33] <[agatha]> please
[12:33] <Guest18281> IntuitiveNipple, well, I've been @ this for 13 hours, and I've narrowed it down to this.  I've made a new share in my home directory, shared it, and I know I'm a member of the SMB group, so now I'm @ a loss
[12:33] <outbackwifi> alsamixer
[12:34] <[agatha]> thanks outbackwifi
[12:34] <IntuitiveNipple> Guest18281: The share is created on Ubuntu? and you are connecting to it from another Ubuntu PC?
[12:35] <Guest18281> IntuitiveNipple, It's on a headless Ubuntu server, and I can't connect to it from another Ubuntu or windows box, and when I try locally, it gives the same error!
[12:35] <IntuitiveNipple> Guest18281: Have you created the samba user/password using sudo smbpasswd ?
[12:36] <outbackwifi> Guest18281: use swat to config the server
[12:37] <Guest18281> IntuitiveNipple, yes, I've made the user
[12:37] <Guest18281> outbackwifi, I've done that, and nothing is working.  same error
[12:38] <outbackwifi> guest1821: can you check from terminal with smbclient or smbmount?
[12:39] <Guest18281> outbackwifi, I tried it locally, and I get the same error
[12:39] <c0p3rn1c> hi
[12:39] <ganesh> i installed windows xp and lost grub...how do i reinstall? i have  2 hard disks,and i think grub is replaced by mbr...
[12:40] <c0p3rn1c> I'm trying to install my pctv tv card, my dmesg contains " Pinnacle PCTV Stereo (saa7134) [card=26,insmod option]" does this mean I installed my tv card  drivers correctly?
[12:40] <Guest18281> outbackwifi, I just added a "test" user, created a new share, and directory (shared r+w to everyone), and it STILL errors out!
[12:40] <Guest18281> c0p3rn1c, looks like it
[12:41] <DINK> On a bad hard drive I used dd_rescue to recover the contents to a .iso file.  I'm trying to view the recovered files but I'm getting errors that it's not a valid iso file.
[12:41] <Guest18281> outbackwifi, from what I've been reading through google is that it's a common problem, but I've yet to track a soulition
[12:43] <outbackwifi> guest1821 : locally means from the same machine
[12:43] <c0p3rn1c> Guest18281: I can't get tvtime or mythtv to work on my system, how can I be sure that my tv-card is installed correctly?
[12:45] <Guest18281> c0p3rn1c, untill you can get a program in there, I'm not sure.  I'm working my way out of the Samba issue, and then I'm moving on the CUPS and then MythTV
[12:46] <c0p3rn1c> ok thx
[12:46] <erUSUL> DINK: becouse a h. disk image is not an iso file
[12:47] <ganesh>  i installed windows xp and lost grub...how do i reinstall? i have  2 hard disks,and i think grub is replaced by mbr...

[12:58] <DB42> thanks
[12:58] <DB42> very quite now :)
[13:02] <new2ubuntu> how to assign which users can access which folders as we used to do in Windows?
[13:02] <joferval> hola
[13:03] <King_Kickass> i hope the startup bug is fixed in 8.10
[13:03] <DB42> new2ubuntu: i think it's called ACL
[13:03] <new2ubuntu> DB42: how to get that?
[13:03] <DB42> new2ubuntu: i dont know :)
[13:04] <new2ubuntu> DB42: Thanks, will search further
[13:04] <DB42> there is this which is old http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/171 and there might better/builtin stuff
[13:04] <new2ubuntu> :-)
[13:05] <nn> Is it true that RMS is a lifetime supporter of NAMBLA?
[13:06] <DB42> new2ubuntu: unless you need the regular group/user support, but i guessy ou know about chmod yes?
[13:06] <new2ubuntu> no, i am 1st time linux user
[13:06] <nn> I heard he was trying for priesthood but they wouldn't let him, so he instead joined NAMBLA as a lifetime supporter
[13:06] <jrib> nn: take it elsewhere.  It's offtopic here
[13:07] <DB42> new2ubuntu: ahh, so read up about using chmod and chgrp
[13:07] <DB42> that can give you a more general configuration of file permissions (not like ACL in windows, but might be good enough for you)
[13:07] <nn> Isn't "ubuntu" an ancient african word who means "One who is too clueless to use a real distro?"
[13:07] <DB42> nn: funny, not.
[13:08] <new2ubuntu> hummm

[13:15] <AdamDH> cheers I will move it there
[13:15] <alarm> that although the OS is fresh installed, the fsck may take even 1 hour to finish
[13:15] <DINK> erUSUL: did you mean losetup?

[13:24] <Luke771> would the TrippleHead2Go box work on Ubuntu? (I use three monitor for windows gaming but ubuntu as main desktop, and I don't want to rearrange my monitors before and after each gaming session)
[13:25] <gceng04> Do anybody know how to open "Partition Manager"?
[13:25] <Luke771> in a terminal, type sudo gparted
[13:26] <Luke771> in a terminal, type sudo gparted gceng04 (you may have to install it: sudo apt-get install gparted)
[13:26] <King_Kickass> can I also partition my ms windows partition with it?
[13:26] <Luke771> yes
[13:26] <gceng04> I type sudo gparted , the bash tell me command not found
[13:26] <Luke771> well what you mean?
[13:26] <Luke771> gceng04: you have to install gparted
[13:27] <Kartagis>  can I use LiveCD to copy files between two hard disks? I have to uninstall my main one
[13:27] <macvr>  hi .... how do i make the windows list in the panel display from the right instead of the default left?
[13:27] <big-g> where is the $HOME variable set at?
[13:27] <jrib> Kartagis: sure
[13:27] <jrib> big-g: why?
[13:27] <gceng04> but ubuntu 8.04 install it defauld
[13:27] <BlueEagle> Kartagis: You can.
[13:27] <Luke771> King_Kickass: you can resize an NTFS partition with gparted but I've never done that. for a new install, you can leave your windows partition unformatted and let windows format it on install
[13:28] <big-g> jrib: i changed my username and i also changed the home user directory name. but the change is not being reflecting in $HOME
[13:28] <jrib> big-g: man usermod  (poke me if you are stuck)
[13:28] <Kartagis> jrib, is this command right? dd if=/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 bs=4M ?
[13:28] <Luke771> gceng04: i have ubuntu 8.04 and I remember having to install it
[13:28] <Luke771> the liveCD has it because it needs it to install the desktop version, but it's not installed by default
[13:28] <jrib> Kartagis: you asked about copying files, are you sure you want to use dd like that?
[13:29] <King_Kickass> and how is the defrag tool of ubuntu called?
[13:29] <big-g> jrib: i already did that.  i changed the username successfully. i just can't get the $HOME variable to take the new username home directory
[13:29] <jrib> big-g: you used the -d option?
[13:29] <Luke771> King_Kickass: you don't need defrag on Linux. it will write files where there is space
[13:29] <big-g> jrib: I don't know where the $HOME gets set at upon logining in. no i didn't use the -d option.
[13:29] <jrib> big-g: that's what you want
[13:30] <King_Kickass> ah ok, I just wanted to defrag my windows partition from within ubuntu
[13:30] <Kartagis> jrib, one operation is copying files to another hard disk, one another is moving my existing installation to another hard disk
[13:30] <big-g> jrib: thanx. i am still curiouse to where that variable gets set at
[13:30] <Luke771> King_Kickass: maybe you can run some third party defrag utility under wine, I dunno. but I would do that from within windows
[13:31] <erUSUL> King_Kickass: do not do that use windows defrag
[13:31] <jrib> big-g: whatever process logs you in probably sets it after reading /etc/passwd
[13:31] <Kartagis> jrib, so, is dd if=/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 bs=4M right for the latter operation?
[13:31] <big-g> jrib: bingo! thanx
[13:31] <dingens> hi, i have a boot-problem with a new laptop: after loading the kernel it just resets. does anyone know the issue?
[13:31] <jrib> Kartagis: you need if for input and of for output
[13:32] <hardcore> here's the error message i get: The playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin which is not installed.
[13:32] <macvr> hi .... how do i make the windows list in the panel display from the right instead of the default left?
[13:32] <hardcore> its actually an audio file
[13:32] <Kartagis> jrib, so, is dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M okay?
[13:32] <jrib> Kartagis: yeah, afaik.  Whatever you have on /dev/sdb1 will be lost
[13:33] <Kartagis> i don't care, thanks

[13:33] <macvr> !interpid | Raylz
[13:34] <Raylz> any offtopic channel?
[13:34] <hardcore> Raylz, yes, ubuntu-offtopic
[13:34] <Raylz> ty
[13:34] <Luke771> does anyone know if a TroppleHead2Go box would work on Ubuntu?
[13:34] <Luke771> heh
[13:34] <Luke771> tripple
[13:35] <Guest18281> ok, anyone want to take a stab @ this samba user/pass issues?
[13:35]  * DINK stabs
[13:35] <hardcore> does anyone know how to fix this error message? The playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin which is not installed.
[13:36]  * IntuitiveNipple issues
[13:36] <satos> gather.gr
[13:36] <DINK> hardcore: I'd presonally use vlc.  I never have issues with it
[13:36] <hardcore> thanks i'll try that
[13:36] <DINK> hardcore: vlc is a media player
[13:37] <alarm> hey, how long does as average take to you the fsck that is being done on root after 30 boot times ? cause i need like over 40 mins, which does not sound normal to me
[13:37] <jrib> alarm: how big?
[13:37] <alarm> 320gb drive . 30gb linux partition
[13:38] <alarm> so the fsck is for 30gb
[13:38] <macvr>  hi .... how do i make the windows list in the panel display from the right instead of the default left?  or where should i ask this question?
[13:38] <jvm> hi. i connected a 22" tft with 1680x1050 pixel to my system, ubuntu automatically installed an nvidia driver for my new graphics card and i installed nvidia-settings to configure it. it offers a number of resolution, but not 1680x1050. what to do?
[13:38] <alarm> when it finishes i do not get any errors or something, but still i found the delay too long
[13:38] <jrib> alarm: yeah, sounds long based on my experience.  I suppose processor speed is another variable
[13:38] <Guest18281> jrib, are you a wiz with Samba?
[13:38] <alarm> 2.5ghz dual core
[13:39] <alarm> i dont think that would be it
[13:39] <jrib> Guest18281: nope, best to just ask the channel and I'll help if I know the answer.  Check the wiki too
[13:39] <jrib> !samba > Guest18281
[13:39] <Guest18281> jrib, I've asked there, and no one knows how to fix this issue
[13:39] <jrib> Guest18281: I meant this channel
[13:39] <Guest18281> jrib, thanks
[13:40] <jrib> alarm: yeah, I have a 1.86 core 2 duo and my fsck does not take that long.  Don't know what else it could be though
[13:40] <imaginativeone> what's the best book for learning UML?
[13:40] <heret|c> jvm sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:40] <alarm> is there any log file that fsck creates ? except of the dmesg
[13:41] <paratox> hello! wich owner should own the www path of a webserver? i have wordpress and mybb running.
[13:41] <jvm> heret|c, and then?
[13:42] <BlueEagle> paratox: apache and www are very popular names.
[13:42] <heret|c> jvm look for the Section "Screen" , and under DefaultDepth 24 add these lines
[13:42] <BlueEagle> paratox: It should be the owner which apache runs as iirc.
[13:42] <heret|c> SubSection  "Display"
[13:42] <heret|c> Modes   "1680x1050"
[13:42] <heret|c> EndSubSection
[13:42] <paratox> i have the whole www path chowned to www-data, but somebody told me, i should use root. is this right?
[13:43] <heret|c> thats ~between~ the lines DefaultDepth ~and~ EndSection
[13:43] <jrib> paratox: root or something you make.  www-data is what apache runs as, so you should only be giving write access to apache if it really needs it like with wiki data
[13:43] <paratox> and a forum?
[13:43] <jvm> thanks heret|c, give me a second to restart xorg.
[13:44] <utnubudnai> what does this mean?:" <constant> 元素中不允许有元素 <%s>",this appears on making a module,at MKDEV(scull_major, 0)
[13:44] <jrib> paratox: sure
[13:46] <jvm> heret|c, it didnt change anything. it started again with 1600x1200, and neither the "screen resolution" dialog nor nvidia-settings show any other options.
[13:46] <heret|c> jvm i forgot one line :P glad your back for me to tell you
[13:46] <jvm> :)
[13:46] <hardcore> which is better, frostwire or emule?
[13:47] <heret|c> ~between  SubSection  "Display"   ~and~ Modes  "1680x1050"    ~add~  Depth  24
[13:47] <peter_> Hi. I have an Intel AC'97 audio controller with xubuntu. I can't hear any sound. What should I do? Thanks.
[13:48] <jvm> heret|c, it's already there. there was already a Display subsection, and i just changed the "Modes nvidia-something" to "Modes "1680x1050""
[13:48] <jvm> Depth 24 was already in there.
[13:48] <heret|c> ahh
[13:48] <heret|c> well we'll do it this way then....
[13:49] <heret|c> in a terminal type....
[13:49] <heret|c> xrandr -s 1680x1050
[13:49] <jvm> Size 1680x1050 not found in available modes
[13:49] <heret|c> O.o
[13:49] <jvm> even while i inserted it into the xorg.conf file
[13:49] <heret|c> ok. could you please pastebin your xorg.conf
[13:50] <heret|c> whole thing
[13:50] <perlsyntax> How do i get  emerald to start up everytime i log into my desktop?
[13:50] <heret|c> i'm suspecting multiple or conflicting definitions
[13:50] <hardcore> which is better, frostwire or emule?
[13:50] <perlsyntax> i hope there is away.
[13:51] <jvm> heret|c, http://pastebin.com/m4f44ab00
[13:51] <jvm> the whole file was auto-generated.
[13:51] <jvm> i only changed the modes line.
[13:51] <heret|c> perlsyntax, System > preferences > sessions
[13:52] <jvm> it said Modes "nvidia-auto-select +0 +0" before i changed it.
[13:52] <perlsyntax> that all i do?
[13:53] <heret|c> jvm, i'm stumped. your xorg.conf looks clean and perfect
[13:53] <heret|c> perlsyntax, just add emerald into there, yes
[13:53] <perlsyntax> heret|c, all i put is emerald --replace that it
[13:53] <jvm> heret|c, is it possible i bought the wrong card? never used it before. but it seems unlikely it supports 1600x1200, but not 1680x1050.
[13:54] <heret|c> jvm card should support it
[13:54] <JuzzyD> I know the location is innappropriate, but I don't really want to register for another forum just to ask a question, is anyone here proficient with Open Office?
[13:55] <heret|c> jvm. it's very possible that somehow yoru system doesnt' recognize the monitor as wide screen
[13:57] <new2ubuntu> is vmware for ubuntu free?
[13:57] <jvm> heret|c, i just looked in the manual, and there are mentioned varias "Super High Resolution Graphics Modes" with several resolutions mentioned, up to 2048x536, but no 1680x1050.
[13:57] <jvm> i am not sure anymore this card isn't completely idiotic.
[13:57] <jvm> it was cheap. hehe.
[13:57] <Trineba> The resolution is supported by your card.
[13:57] <Trineba> Do you use VGA or DVI ?
[13:57] <jvm> dvi.
[13:58] <Crusader_Tech> new2ubuntu: I'm not sure about vmware, but virtualbox is free, and I've used it quite a bit.  I've had nothing but good performance from it.
[13:58] <Trineba> okay, then the bandwidth shouldnt be a problem.. then it's more likely that its a conf problem with your screen settings on the comp.
[13:58] <dingens> Is there a way to slow down the initial boot prozess? Or can I force the kernel to pause before doing the reset? I want to read the kernel messages prior to the boot abortion
[13:59] <jvm> Trineba, heret|c didnt notice anything in my xorg.conf ( http://pastebin.com/m4f44ab00 )
[13:59] <DawidJoubert> dingens try press pause on your keyboard
[13:59] <DawidJoubert> it works on the bios, why not try ubuntu ;-)
[13:59] <dingens> Dawid, i'm not fast enough, its a matter of milliseconds
[13:59] <new2ubuntu> ok
[13:59] <Trineba> jvm: pm.
[13:59] <jvm> Trineba, and the nvidia-settings tool annoys me, because i cant choose the resolution i want.
[14:00] <DawidJoubert> jvm, the resolutions are based on what safe resolutions are auto-detected... if the resolution you want is absent you will have to modify config files manually
[14:00] <jvm> DawidJoubert, i added a "Modes 1680x1050" line and it still does not work...
[14:01] <heret|c> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/1680-x-1050-not-displaying-585864/  says to do what i already had him do.
[14:01] <heret|c> Option "ModeValidation" "NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"    jvm try putting that in section device
[14:02] <jadams> hello
[14:03] <jadams> Anybody here run ubuntu studio to any good effect?
[14:03] <DawidJoubert> jvm, pm me config file
[14:03] <slayton_> I'm having problems with hardware... I think the problems are with my ram is there anyway I can tell for sure, before I go buy new hardware?
[14:03] <jvm> thanks heret|c and DawidJoubert, wait a sec
[14:03] <jrib> slayton_: do a memtest?
[14:03] <slayton_> I tried running memtest but it freezes every time
[14:03] <Trineba> slayton_: Memtest86
[14:03] <msshams> hi, i install kubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu. after this my sound doesn't detect by ubuntu. how can i fix it?
[14:04] <ortsvorsteher> !sound
[14:04] <Trineba> slayton_: then it's the ram that is the issue.
[14:04] <heret|c> welcome back
[14:04] <slayton_> The first mem test gave me a bunch of errors and froze the second time I ran it, the test went well beyond were the first test was without an issue but then just randomly froze up somewhere else
[14:04] <jvm> DawidJoubert, the whole config file is here: http://pastebin.com/m4f44ab00
[14:04] <openstandards> esize2fs -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 10G <--- does that reduce by 10gig or down to 10 gig?
[14:05] <jvm> DawidJoubert, now with heret|c's additional line added.
[14:05] <jvm> but still not working. xrandr still insists the mode was not found.
[14:06] <dingens> DawidJoubert , it does not react to the pause key. i can pause the preboot-stuff with it, but nothing after the kernel is loaded
[14:07] <Xcerca> is there a way to change the DPI in gnome, the res is fine but everything looks too big
[14:08] <lakitu> can i tell a deb package where to install?
[14:08] <lakitu> like if i want it on another drive?
[14:10] <jrib> lakitu: no
[14:10] <lakitu> ok
[14:10] <ubuntu_todd> jibel: I have one problem with gtkpod. I set the option commands for the folder or files for sync Calendar, Address and Notes in preference one hour ago. But now I can not change it again.
[14:11] <Xcerca> lakitu there should be a way to do it...  anything's possible
[14:12] <edju> Having connection problems.  If anyone can read this, say "hootchiemama".

[14:15] <laku> hey all, I want to use kopete, but I'm using Gnome, does it also work on Gnome or is it only for KDE?
[14:15] <tavi> vreun roman pe aici?
[14:16] <Twar3> Anyone know how I would set up a Server+Lab with Ubuntu?
[14:16] <jvm> lakitu, you can use both gnome and kde applications in both gnome and kde.
[14:16] <neosix> Hello! I installed wordpress, and I'm trying to connect locally, but firefox won't open wordpress, it give to download PHTML file. In opera everything works fine. Any idea?
[14:16] <Kartagis> hello
[14:16] <jvm> lakitu, they just do not fit perfectly into the desktop.
[14:16] <shishirmk> can any one suggest a good todo list manager and calendar manager in ubuntu??
[14:16] <jvm> i meant laku both times.
[14:16] <jvm> hehe.
[14:16] <laku> really, sweet, thanks jvm
[14:16] <shishirmk> i dont wanna use evolution
[14:18] <hardcore> which is better, frostwire or emule?
[14:18] <Lykkefeen> How do I make OOO writer stop changing tabsize only for the first level of indentation? (I copy paste code to it and wish to decrease the tabsize of all indentationlevels)
[14:18] <hardcore> shishirmk,  being that I'm a Christian, I don't wanna use it either
[14:18] <Schalken> shishirmk: "openhand" (the company) have a cute calendar and todolist app (that tbh are really made for PDAs, but still, they're awesome)
[14:19] <Schalken> hardcore: LOL WUT
[14:19] <Kartagis> when I unsinstall my sda1 and attempt to boot the computer off LiveCD, I get BusyBox. why? only when I install sda1 again and boot off with LiveCD, I get the GNOME
[14:19] <chamuscas> how do i run .run file type ?
[14:19] <ichbinesderelch> sh filename.run
[14:20] <slayton_> ./<filename>.run
[14:20] <chamuscas> ty :)
[14:20] <shishirmk> Schalken: what exactly is openhand??
[14:20] <slayton_> but first chmod +X <file>.run
[14:20] <chamuscas> Uaho
[14:20] <Schalken> shishirmk: some little software development company
[14:20] <Schalken> shishirmk: they do work on Clutter, iirc
[14:20] <chamuscas> is there any topic on ubuntu dedicated to that :p
[14:21] <shishirmk> oh clutter good
[14:21] <shishirmk> i want it for a tablet pc only... \
[14:21] <slayton_> chamuscas: dedicated to what?
[14:21] <shishirmk> i have installed ubuntu 8.04 only on this one
[14:21] <chamuscas> forget already found it
[14:21] <chamuscas> ubuntu documentation that was what i wanted to ask
[14:22] <jvm> thanks DawidJoubert, heret|c and Trineba for your help. it doesnt work. i will play around or get another card.
[14:22] <Schalken> shishirmk: http://pimlico-project.org/ was what i was thinking of.
[14:23] <htang_> hi,all. I use eclipse, but i found it use CPU high to 100%? why?
[14:23] <Schalken> htang_: #eclipse
[14:23] <Myrtti> htang_: one reason is that's it's Java
[14:23] <htang_> yes, you are right.
[14:24] <Schalken> i agree with Myrtti
[14:24] <htang_> I also found java run at back-end use CPU 100%.
[14:25] <ed0n0n> I have downloaded a file wich has asigned a group named "plugdev" wich does not exist in my pc. I cannot change the group via: root> chgrp groupname filename.tar . Why is not possible to change?
[14:25] <htang_> how to optimize the CPU usage of java?
[14:25] <v4vijayakumar> I don't know what happened to my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..?
[14:26] <v4vijayakumar> htang_, don't optimize until you profile your apps
[14:26] <erUSUL> ed0n0n: sudo chown $USER:$USER filename.tar
[14:28] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: even if I try it keeps being like this: -rwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev
[14:28] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: I change other files np
[14:28] <erUSUL> ed0n0n: where is the file located?
[14:29] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: in the same dir or .
[14:29] <Frogzoo> when's 7.10 due for release?
[14:30] <erUSUL> Frogzoo: it was released on octover 2007
[14:30] <erUSUL> Frogzoo: XD
[14:30] <erUSUL> Frogzoo: 8.10 30th Octover 2008
[14:31] <Frogzoo> erUSUL: thx
[14:31] <Frogzoo> erUSUL: ok, ha ha - 8.10 :p
[14:31] <v4vijayakumar> anyone..? don't know what happened to my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..?
 it's not my apps, i think. because it use cpu high to 100% just when i start up eclipse. any ideas?
[14:32] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: This command should turn the file group to root, shouldn't? sudo chown root:root filename.tar
[14:32] <erUSUL> ed0n0n: yep
[14:33] <v4vijayakumar> htang_, thats just fine, eclipse uses lots of memory
[14:34] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: Is there any way in wich a file can't be changed? It is weird that groupname "plugdev", and this file might have something wrong?
[14:35] <erUSUL> ed0n0n: plugdev does exist on ubuntu but i dunno why you can not change the file's group
[14:35] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: what is that group used for?
[14:36] <erUSUL> ed0n0n: for things like usb flash drives and the like... hot plug devices
[14:37] <jim_p> !checkinstall
[14:37] <Kartagis> can i eject my livecd while using it? and how?
[14:37] <erUSUL> Kartagis: you can not
[14:37] <Firebirdy> Hi, I have a Radeon HD4870 set up in big desktop mode with different resolutions, 1680x1050 for primary and 1024x768 for secondary. That works well, but I'm unable to configure the position of both screens correctly - primary should be right of secondary but it isn't. DesktopMode "horizontal,reverse" has no effect. Any ideas?
 If it isn't affect my work, that's fine. but somethings I can input anything except waiting it to process over, it's really bad thing for me.
[14:39] <jim_p> do i use checkinstall with sudo in front to make a deb? i used it without sudo, did its "trikcs and dialogs" but i still have no package! if i use sudo to make the .deb, i have to move it around with root provilegdes to get it to the local repo
[14:39] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: I guess is not important the file to be from another group, should I care?
[14:39] <erUSUL> jim_p: iirc checkinstall installs the deb at the end of the process
[14:40] <erUSUL> ed0n0n: not much... but still is very weird that you can not change its group
[14:40] <v4vijayakumar> htang_, linux is getting better day by day, soon it will meet your expectations ;)
[14:40] <Firebirdy> hah :)
[14:40] <DrunkenPirate34> Hows it going guys
[14:40] <jim_p> erUSUL: well it was not installed, i was making madwifi and it is not installed, not even a .deb here!
[14:41] <jim_p> erUSUL: iirc = ?
[14:41] <erUSUL> htang_: you installed sun's java or are you using gcj ??
[14:41] <erUSUL> jim_p: if i recall correctly
[14:41] <ed0n0n> erUSUL: I don't know why, and I'd like to know how, But can anyone hellp me with it?
[14:41] <jim_p> erUSUL: lol ok
how to know that? I don't know.
[14:41] <erUSUL> jim_p: i dunno if checkinstall works well with kernel modules it is meant for userspace apps
[14:42] <erUSUL> htang_: did you installed sun's java?

[14:42] <jim_p> erUSUL: so there is a chance that some kernel thing prevented it?
[14:42] <Schalken> htang_: im having trouble understanding your english, sorry.
[14:42] <erUSUL> htang_: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[14:42] <erUSUL> htang_: after that make sure sun's is default "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[14:43] <v4vijayakumar> htang_, you need something like "running a process in a restricted environment (memory and cpu usage restriction) ..."
that's ok. thank you Schalken.
[14:43] <Deubeuliou> hi
[14:44] <DrunkenPirate34> Anyone using 8.10 beta?
[14:44] <erUSUL> DrunkenPirate34: #ubuntu+1
[14:44] <DrunkenPirate34> thx
[14:44] <v4vijayakumar> some problem with my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..?
[14:44] <v4vijayakumar> what to do?
[14:45] <erUSUL> jim_p: never tried using checkinstall with kernel modules so i dunno for sure
[14:45] <htang_> erUSUL: maybe i installed java. I use "sudo update-alternatvies --config java" , and get some message.
[14:45] <hardcore> which is better, frostwire or emule?
[14:45] <jim_p> erUSUL: ok thanks a lot
[14:45] <erUSUL> v4vijayakumar: any error on the logs? dmesg or syslog
[14:45] <ljsoftnet> i just run this code "sudo rm -r /home/username" after deleting the user from "Users and Groups", is my system still ok?
[14:45] <Deubeuliou> I have a realtek rtl8187b wireless chipset and I want to follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792092 <-- this tutorial but I can't see my chipset plugged in in the "lsusb"... I saw it only twice and it seems to be random ...
[14:45] <Schalken> hardcore: transmission.
[14:45] <v4vijayakumar> erUSUL, just a/w timeout
[14:45] <hardcore> Schalken, whats transmission?
[14:46] <albuntu> !transmission | hardcore
[14:46] <Deubeuliou> is there a way to find out whether it's an hardware problem (chipset wrongly plugged) or software ?
[14:46] <albuntu> !trasmission | hardcore
[14:46] <jo4> i used sshfs to mount a folder and tried to stream video from it, but it looks like the bitrate is to low. however, i have atleast 200 kb/s upload bandwidth and atleast 200 in and in vlc it says the bitrate for the movie is 132kb/s.. is sshfs just a bad idea to use for this?
[14:46] <Schalken> hardcore: a BitTorrent client, comes with ubuntu by default.
[14:46] <erUSUL> hardcore: they are clients of different networks so no directly comparable imho
[14:46] <zblach> hey all. quick question. i'm using the alternate installer because i have to install onto dmraid. how can I configure that? it's just showing me my four drives
[14:46] <erUSUL> !fakeraid
[14:46] <erUSUL> zblach: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[14:47] <ljsoftnet> i just run this code "sudo rm -r /home/username" after deleting the user from "Users and Groups", is my system still ok?
[14:47] <erUSUL> ljsoftnet: yes is ok
[14:47] <ljsoftnet> erUSUL, ah ok, thanks
[14:48] <zblach> i should have done that. thanks
[14:49] <zblach> actually, does this apply? i'm using raid5
[14:49] <v4vijayakumar> erUSUL, ..
[14:49] <erUSUL> zblach: are you using your bios raid? or you want to use linux software raid?
[14:50] <zblach> erUSUL: it's fakeraid.
[14:51] <zblach> i can't have the alt installer boot to a terminal, and do this maually, can I?
[14:51] <erUSUL> zblach: the on you enable in you bios? then the fakeraid applies .... it is better to use linux software raid but if you have to share the raid with windows ...
[14:52] <zblach> no windows anymore
[14:52] <zblach> what i'm doing is setting up a macine to run virtual machines
[14:52] <v4vijayakumar> sorry for asking 4th time, some problem with my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..? what to do?
[14:52] <erUSUL> zblach: then why not use linux software raid it is better than fakeraid
[14:52] <htang_> thank you for you help
[14:52] <zblach> erUSUL: i had heard that swraid had some serious performance issues
[14:53] <erUSUL> zblach: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[14:53] <albuntu> v4vijayakumar : have you tried restarting your router. maybe it doesnt have to do with your system
[14:53] <erUSUL> zblach: do you have a *real* *hardware* raid card?
[14:54] <erUSUL> zblach: becouse most bios raid implementations are slower than linux software raid except the ones from high end *real* *hardware* raid cards
[14:54] <zblach> erUSUL: no. embedded hardware assisted ICH9R
[14:54] <erUSUL> zblach: then it will be slower than linux raid
[14:54] <zblach> i had had a windows partition originally, so fakeraid was my best option at the time
[14:54] <wiehan> is there a way I can make gedit automatically (or at the press of a button) automatically indent my javascript so that it looks more tidy?
[14:54]  * erUSUL looks for the link to the benchmarks
[14:55]  * zblach appreciates the looking
[14:55] <erUSUL> zblach: http://spamaps.org/raidtests.php
[14:56] <erUSUL> zblach: and in the test they use a raid card (not chipset integrated raid) and still is inferior
[14:57] <marlun> When I browse my server using ssh in nautilus, if I move a folder, will it translate to as if I wrote a mv command on the server?
[14:58] <LuYu> does anybody here have any suggestions on where to start in order to improve video playback on a 450MHz system?
[14:58] <zblach> LuYu: buy a new one
[14:58] <zblach> :P
[14:58] <mattzenel> I messed up a mount command and mounded a file to the /media directory while I had external drives mounted to /media/disk I'm concerend that I could have tanked the drives (because they were mounted at the time) should I do anything special before I unmount the faulting mount command
[14:58] <uwe2006> yes buy a new one
[14:58] <zblach> erUSUL: i was using ubuntu for the dmraid support of raid5. if i use software raid, i'll go back to arch :D
[14:59] <LuYu> before anybody starts laughing, i saw BeOS play 6 simultaneous video streams with no degradation in quality or halting in 1999
[14:59] <LuYu> so, i know its possible
[14:59] <erUSUL> mattzenel: nothing special just umount. nothing should be harmed for what you have done
[14:59] <LuYu> so, i can buy an XO with a faster processor?
[14:59] <LuYu> ;-P
[15:00] <LuYu> that kind of defeats the point, doesnt it?
[15:00] <mattzenel> erUSUL: will the drives need to be remounted
[15:00] <erUSUL> mattzenel: no
[15:00] <mattzenel> erUSUL: thanks
[15:00] <zblach> erUSUL: since i'm now using software raid, should I disable the onboard raid controller entirely?
[15:01] <erUSUL> zblach: yep... configure the sata controller as "ahci"
[15:01] <zblach> thanks :)
[15:02] <HelleJolle> :-D
[15:02] <erUSUL> zblach: no problem
[15:03] <Sigil> Hey, I've got a question: what is my root password? Ever since I installed Ubuntu, I've never logged as root since everything is done with sudo. :\
[15:04] <techsupport> can someone help me configure ntp
[15:04] <Sigil> Does Ubuntu ask to create the root account at all?
[15:04] <riotkittie> Sigil: no.
[15:04] <Sigil> So, is there no root by default?
[15:05] <riotkittie> Sigil: root is locked by default
[15:05] <ubuntu_todd> !Nautilus
[15:05] <Sigil> And how do I find out its password if I need to use it?
[15:05] <riotkittie> Sigil: why would you need to use root over sudo?
[15:06] <LuYu> there is no root password
[15:06] <Sigil> I wouldn't, but I'd like to know I have the option
[15:06] <LuYu> you have to use sudo to set it
[15:06] <LuYu> sudo passwd
[15:06] <LuYu> type your user password
[15:06] <Myrtti> Sigil: you don't have that option really
[15:06] <Sigil> So, if in the login screen I enter "root" and leave the password field blank, it will enter?
[15:06] <LuYu> and then type a new root password twice
[15:06] <Sigil> Ah, OK. I see
[15:06] <Myrtti> Sigil: ubuntu has been designed to use sudo
[15:06] <LuYu> no, it wont
[15:06] <riotkittie> Sigil: if i recall correctly, telling people how to enable root is frowned upon, so i won't do it
[15:07] <LuYu> oops
[15:07] <Myrtti> you'll end up breaking up things really really badly, if you enable root
[15:07] <Myrtti> so please don't enable it
[15:07] <LuYu> anyway, there are only a few situations where you really need to switch to root
[15:07] <jrib> LuYu: what are they?
[15:07] <LuYu> most of the time, sudo is your friend
[15:07] <Sigil> OK, but at least *everything* a superuser can do, you can do with sudo, right?
[15:07] <riotkittie> Sigil: yes.
[15:07] <LuYu> i remember there was something i couldnt do with sudo
[15:07] <LuYu> right now, i cant recall what it was
[15:08] <Sigil> Alright, I didn't know Ubuntu would be that particular about the superuser... O.O
[15:08] <LuYu> but it took me like a week to try it with actual root
[15:08] <LuYu> and when i did, it worked as expected
[15:08] <erUSUL> !root | Sigil
[15:09] <riotkittie> and remmeber enabling root also increases the likelihood of your system being compromised.
[15:09] <Sigil> Thanks for the link! :)
[15:09] <Sigil> So, in having no root, the system is more secure?
[15:09] <techsupport> how can i check if my ntp is properly configured ?
[15:09] <Sigil> Isn't it just as easy for a hacker to get access to the system with sudo?
[15:10] <techsupport> how can i check if my ntp/ntpdate is properly configured ?
[15:10] <LuYu> just as easy as what?
[15:10] <soneil> Sigil: it's just a little obscurity.  I get repeated access attempts using root on ssh.  but I know there is no root passwd, so they'll never brute-force it
[15:10] <GNUNIX> is there any windows live messenger that supports voice chat

[15:11] <emorris> hi, I bought a Canon PIXMA MP220 all-in-one printer, and had both the scanner and printer sections working fine yesterday. However, something weird started happening today. The printer doesn't work at all. Documents just get stuck in the print queue as 'pending' (this is CUPS). If I try to use XSane to scan, the preview gets to about 50%, then I get an "Error during device I/O". When lsusb works, it generally shows the printer, but often (
[15:11] <emorris> including now), the process hangs as 'uninterruptable'. Any ideas?
[15:11] <soneil> Sigil: in theory they could just brute-force my user's account instead.  but then they have a whole new game of trying to guess my username
[15:11] <LuYu> GNUNIX:  you should ask that question on #pidgin and #kopete
[15:11] <emorris> have tried reinstalling the drivers, changing ports and cables, etc, etc.
[15:12] <bingungaja> how can i know that my ubuntu has Tcl/Tk 8.4. or tcl/tk 8.5 final ?
[15:12] <Sigil> I see. Thanks. :)
[15:12] <emorris> bingungaja: apt-cache policy tcl
[15:13] <amikrop> OK. A simple, but vital question, I think: I have a DELL Latitude D800 (or, any other random laptop). I don't have an external microphone that I plugged in. I just want to record sound from the device built into my laptop. What should I turn on in "Volume Control"? Micriphone? Capture? Line-In? Something else?
[15:13] <bingungaja> emorris : thx
[15:13] <amikrop> * microphone
[15:13] <emorris> amikrop: you need to use the recording not playback tab
[15:13] <fishsponge_> hey people - i've just run "apt-get install phpmyadmin" and told it to auto-configure apache2 (which i already had installed)... but i can't find out how to access phpMyAdmin...
[15:14] <amikrop> emorris: OK, I already know this.
[15:14] <amikrop> emorris: But what should I enable there?
[15:14] <riotkittie> amikrop: i imagine it'd be microphone. is that not working?
[15:14] <emorris> fishsponge_: assuming apache is running, you can access it from a web browser localhost:???   where ??? is the port you set it as
[15:15] <fishsponge_> i can access apache no problem... but all i get is the "It works!" page, of course... how do i access phpmyadmin, specifically?
[15:15] <albuntu> localhost/phpmyadmin
[15:15] <emorris> amikrop: have you just tried each thing? also check in edit>preferences that they are all ticked
[15:15] <albuntu> fishsponge_ : localhost/phpmyadmin
[15:16] <techsupport> i just did sudo apt-get purge ntp and i still see /etc/init.d/ntp
[15:16] <amikrop> riotkittie: Microphone appears in "Playback" when I enable it, and not in "Recording".
[15:16] <techsupport> when trying to reinstall it, it returs errors
[15:16] <fishsponge_> ah yes! i was trying localhost/phpMyAdmin!
[15:16] <amikrop> emorris: Do you use a laptop?
[15:16] <albuntu> techsupport : try sudo apt-get remove
[15:16] <emorris> amikrop: yes
[15:16] <the-n0id> huhu
[15:16] <amikrop> emorris: can you record sound?
[15:16] <emorris> amikrop: yes

[15:17] <Galens> I'm new to Ubuntu. I recently downloaded the Live CD and installed the latest Ubuntu on a fresh partition of 130 gb. Everything was setup correctly, all hardware recognized and operating pefectly. I had downloaded nvidia-settings through terminal and accessed it as root by sudo nvidia-settings so I could save my changes. I am currently running a dual monitor and from what I have gathered, the second monitor is running on a second Ubuntu OS.
[15:17] <albuntu> the-n0id : its ubuntu. the most difficult and beautiful one :)

[15:23] <zelrikriando> zoom_b, look at this link :  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[15:23] <ikonia> Galens: no, nvidia uses a technology called "twinview" - thats one ubuntu install and one xserver
[15:23] <erUSUL> kika: sorry but i dunno how to make eclipse change java...
[15:23] <DrunkenPirate34> Mimi: Yes, but I believe it is not manipulating the correct output
[15:23] <ikonia> psych: resizing partitions comes with a risk for any OS, but yes you can resize ntfs
[15:23] <kika> ubottu: eclipse is a IDE to develop java apps and also c/c++ apps.
[15:24] <psych> ikonia, no problem, my windows is died
[15:24] <ikonia> psych: sounds ok to resize then

[15:25] <Guest29201> easier way in terminal ?
[15:26] <Mimi> OMG don't use gksudo ccsm x-D Galens. If you do, it changes settings on the ROOT acccount, not yours
