[04:46] <Titan8990> cybercom, what do you need help with?
[04:46] <Titan8990> slipshot, nvidia cards
[04:46] <Nytrix> how do i save an installed program so i can install it to another ubuntu? so i wont have to config everything again?
[04:47] <cybercom> ok i'm currently using grsync and i want it to be automate
[04:47] <slipshot> thanks titan
[04:47] <blackhat> thanks man
[04:47] <Titan8990> cybercom, didn't we already have this discussion?
[04:47] <cybercom> nopw
[04:47] <Nytrix> !repeat
[04:47] <cybercom> nope Titan8990
[04:48] <Titan8990> cybercom, I am only familar with rsync
[04:48] <sfer21> xTheMiNd: It's available in the Gutsy repositories: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/spca5xx-source - but that probably won't be of any help to you
[04:48] <Titan8990> cybercom, I know nothing about grsync or how you could get a gsync script to automate via cron
[04:48] <Titan8990> cybercom, I doubt that its possible
[04:48] <cybercom> \ok .... then the grsync is GUI based and frontend to rsync
[04:48] <Cyntek> evening all, i'm running running ubuntu-server 8.10 and i want to add an additional hard drive for my home network. The hd is formated as ntfs, and i would like to have it as read & write accessible. how can i get ubu-server to allow this?
[04:48] <Titan8990> cybercom, and you could have just learned rsync and been done with it
[04:49] <Hilikus> is lirc supposed to be running on dkms?
[04:49] <xTheMiNd> sfer21: nope i'm running ... intrepid
[04:49] <cybercom> i'm still new to ubuntu and rsync as well
[04:49] <Nytrix> cynic, is the HD hooked up already?
[04:49] <Nytrix> Cyntek, is the HD hooked up already?
[04:49] <Cyntek> fyi, i have Putty and am able to access via openssh.
[04:49] <cybercom> welll when i run the grsync ...... it will show the rsync command
[04:49] <sfer21> xTheMiNd: You could check out this and download it from here: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html
[04:50] <Cyntek> Nytrix, yes.
[04:50] <cybercom> let me  copy and paste it in here
[04:50] <Nytrix> Cyntek, did you try mounting the HD?
[04:50] <Nytrix> anyone...how do i save an installed program so i can install it to another ubuntu? so i wont have to config everything again?
[04:50] <Cyntek> Nytrix, no.
[04:50] <Flannel> !cloning | Nytrix
[04:50] <tritium> sfer21: that's what the gspca-source package is for
[04:50] <Nytrix> Flannel, thnx
[04:51] <Nytrix> Cyntek, mount the HD
[04:51] <ubuntu_> Hi Scott
[04:51] <tritium> sfer21: and double-check with "modprobe -l | grep spca".  You should already have those modules available.
[04:51] <cybercom> rsync -r -n -t -o -g -v --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom on <IP_ADDRESS>/ /media/disk/backup
[04:51] <ubuntu_> Hi mr obvious
[04:51] <Nytrix> !automate
[04:52] <cybercom> Titan8990: this is the command
[04:52] <Cyntek> Nytrix, is this command: mount /dev/sdb
[04:52] <Guest10853> this is totally weird.. I'm customizing the ubuntu LiveCD.. trying to remove packages to make space. I had a 720mb image so I used apt-get remove --purge gnome-games* ubiquity evolution* which freed up about 135mb, but now when I build the image it's 745 mb (actually 25mb BIGGER) ! Anyone have any idea why?
[04:52] <Titan8990> cybercom, your destination is wrong
[04:53] <cybercom> Titan8990:  are you ther
[04:53] <Nytrix> !mount
[04:53] <Nytrix> i think so
[04:53] <Myst> !Iptables
[04:53] <Cyntek> Nytrix, sudo mount /dev/sdb says, mount: can't find /dev/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:54] <Titan8990> cybercom, if it is going to a rsync daemon the format is:   rsync -rntogv --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom <IP_ADDRESS>:RSYNCDAEMONMODULENAME
[04:54] <spaceBARbarian> is there a way to edit an ethernet connection to use a static IP through terminal ?
[04:54] <strike1> hey
[04:55] <Flannel> spaceBARbarian: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[04:55] <Titan8990> spaceBARbarian, depends on the distro
[04:55] <Titan8990> spaceBARbarian, sorry, didn't realize the channel....
[04:55] <Flannel> Titan8990: Safe to assume Ubuntu here. ;)
[04:55] <spaceBARbarian> Titan8990=> lol
[04:55] <cybercom> Titan8990:
[04:55] <Cyntek> Nytrix, http://rafb.net/p/JO8BZ868.html
[04:55] <Nytrix> Cyntek, im not sure how. google it
[04:55] <cybercom> this are the commmands
[04:56] <cybercom>  rsync -r -n -t -o -g -v --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom on <IP_ADDRESS>/ /media/disk/backup
[04:56] <slipshot> im new to this ubuntu thing but i found this web site with step by step how to for mounting a second hard drive at http://tombott.com
[04:56] <batman_ramirez> how can i add screenlets to e16 on startup
[04:56] <batman_ramirez> where is the config file on e16
[04:56] <Jimmymaniac> Hi. Quick question: i'm one of those that leaves his PC on for quite a while, and nautilus uses more and more ram all the time. Is there a way to restart *ONLY* nautilus without logging off and all that?
[04:56] <slipshot> it has screen shots of the whole process
[04:56] <Titan8990> cybercom, I saw that, im telling you the destination is wrong
[04:56] <Guest10853> anyone have experience with liveCD modification?
[04:56] <Nytrix> Cyntek, try sudo mount /dev/sdb5
[04:56] <Titan8990> cybercom, you can't just send data over a network without a protocol
[04:57] <cybercom> huh.... but this is the command that the grsync show to me
[04:57] <home> help
[04:57] <Izinucs> slipshot: check out www.ubuntupocketguide.com .. you can download it for free.. good reference
[04:57] <Titan8990> cybercom, and it worked when you executed it?
[04:57] <cybercom> yup
[04:57] <Nytrix> Cyntek, do dit work?
[04:57] <Titan8990> cybercom, throw it in a script and edit cron then
[04:57] <cybercom> its successfully worked ... Titan8990
[04:57] <Cyntek> Nytrix, no
[04:57] <Nytrix> Cyntek, dit it work?
[04:57] <Nytrix> ok
[04:58] <cybercom> but its not work in the cron
[04:58] <Titan8990> cybercom, that command does not look right to me though
[04:58] <Titan8990> cybercom, all scripts work with cron
[04:58] <Titan8990> cybercom, well, generally....
[04:58] <peterson> Can someone guide me to some link from where i can learn how to make a firefox plugin.. or some place where i can get readymade plugin and guidance for its installation
[04:58] <Nytrix> Cyntek, hang on a sec
[04:58] <Flannel> peterson: You should probably ask in #firefox on irc.mozilla.org
[04:59] <Cyntek> Nytrix, k
[04:59] <cybercom> ok...... Titan8990 ;;;;; can u create a rsync script which is i  gave the grsync command for me ????
[04:59] <peterson> Flannel:  ok will do
[04:59] <wxjeacen> hello
[04:59] <wxjeacen> i am a new gay here
[04:59] <Titan8990> cybercom, no, because then you don't learn anything, and like I said, I doubt that command will work
[04:59] <Dx> bash | Dx
[04:59] <wxjeacen> guy
[04:59] <Titan8990> cybercom, what protocol are you using to send the data accross the network?
[04:59] <Flannel> wxjeacen: Howdy.  How can we help you today?
[04:59] <Dx> !bash | Dx
[05:00] <cybercom> how do i know the protocols????? Titan8990
[05:00] <Titan8990> cybercom, you would have had to set them up in order for them to work
[05:00] <wxjeacen> ls
[05:00] <xshell> lol
[05:01] <Nytrix> Cyntek, try to mount it with gparted
[05:01] <xshell> having fun with my hp remote control :P
[05:01] <cybercom> no ... Titan8990 i never set any protocol
[05:01] <Titan8990> cybercom, so how is this data getting from one computer to another?
[05:02] <cybercom> through network
[05:02] <wxjeacen> faint
[05:02] <cybercom> Titan8990:
[05:02] <wxjeacen> everybody knows that through net .
[05:03] <Peddy> Can someone please tell me how to open a shell on bootup using a xinitrc?
[05:03] <Nytrix> sudo apt-get install gparted
[05:03] <Cyntek> okay.
[05:03] <Titan8990> cybercom, its not magic
[05:03] <Titan8990> cybercom, I recommend setting up an rsync daemon on the computer that will be recieving the files
[05:03] <cybercom> Titan8990:  ya its not  but ...... wa
[05:04] <cybercom> oo ok
[05:04] <wxjeacen> what is up?
[05:04] <cybercom> isit can be run automate
[05:04] <Titan8990> cybercom, then your command will look like this:   rsync -av /path/to/files 192.168.1.x:mybackup
[05:04] <usser> Peddy, put xterm & in ~/.xinitrc
[05:04] <xMopx> Hey guys - I was getting a cannot start X on my ubuntu, so I booted into recovery mode, removed gdm and now I can't install it because I don't have a network connection - what can I do?
[05:05] <Nytrix> then sudo gparted
[05:05] <Titan8990> cybercom, then you will add that to a text file, make it executable, then edit cron
[05:05] <Titan8990> !cron | cybercom
[05:05] <Cyntek> okay
[05:05] <usser> Peddy, problem is i think .xinitrc is ignored completely when you're running gnome or kde
[05:05] <Nytrix> then find the HD and mount
[05:06] <Titan8990> usser, its not a gnome/kde thing, its a log-in manager thing that ignores .xinitrc
[05:06] <Jimmymaniac> to answer my own question, something like "nautilus -q && nautilus &" should restart it safely. Seems to have worked now.
[05:06] <usser> Titan8990, hm gdm, kdm, xdm?
[05:06] <cybercom> Titan8990:   rsync -r -n -t -o -g -v --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom on <IP_ADDRESS>/ /media/disk/backup ...  isit it will come like rsync -av /home/cybercom@<IP_ADDRESS>:media/disk/bakup
[05:06] <Peddy> usser, I'm trying to get a terminal to run on an embedded system. There isn't even an xterm executable
[05:07] <usser> Peddy, eh? if you have X server you should have xterm
[05:07] <Peddy> usser, it uses a modified tinyx
[05:07] <Nytrix> Cyntek, sudo apt-get install gparted
[05:07] <Titan8990> usser, all the above
[05:07] <Cyntek> Nytrix, Gparted says: (gpartedbin:5369): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[05:08] <Cyntek> No Gui.
[05:08] <Cyntek> i suppose!
[05:08] <Titan8990> cybercom, you shouldn't have to specify a username
[05:08] <Nytrix> gparted is gui
[05:08] <Nytrix> sudo gparted
[05:08] <Titan8990> cybercom, but the path to your homedirectory is not your username
[05:08] <cybercom> Titan8990:  i can get you
[05:08] <cybercom> Titan8990:  i cant get you
[05:09] <usser> Peddy, do you have any kind of gui terminal emulator on there?
[05:09] <Cyntek> im running ubuntu-server
[05:09] <Cyntek> no gui installed, only command line.
[05:09] <Peddy> usser, no, it's hacky (it's not meant to have a terminal at all, it's Asus' Expressgate)
[05:09] <xMopx> Hey guys, what can i do if /etc/fstab is gone?
[05:10] <Titan8990> cybercom, I don't get you... you changed my command and your question doesn't make sense
[05:10] <Nytrix> did u type in terminal "sudo gparted"?
[05:10] <Cyntek> Nytrix, yes.
[05:10] <Izinucs>  xMopx look for /etc/fstab~
[05:10] <cybercom>  rsync -r -n -t -o -g -v --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom on <IP_ADDRESS>/ /media/disk/backup
[05:10] <Nytrix> then inserted you password?
[05:10] <Cyntek> yes.
[05:10] <Izinucs> xMopx: or ~fstab
[05:10] <cybercom> this is the command that  i get from grsync
[05:10] <spaceBARbarian> Flannel=> i used the interfaces file to set up the static IP but now ubuntu doesnt detect the adapter at all...
[05:10] <cybercom> how to convert it to rsync
[05:10] <Nytrix> and it just stays command line? nothing pops up?
[05:11] <xMopx> Izinucs: Thanks, but neither are showing up =(
[05:11] <Cyntek> Nytrix, (gpartedbin:5369): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[05:11] <cybercom> Titan8990:
[05:11] <Nytrix> hmm
[05:11] <usser> Peddy, i suppose you could get xterm sources and try to compile it, im not sure how it'll work cause you'll need to link to tinyx libraries use its .h files, sounds like you're in for one hell of a ride
[05:11] <Nytrix> wierd
[05:11] <Izinucs> xMopx: did you do something to make it disappear?
[05:11] <Titan8990> cybercom, I can't comprehend how that command could possibly work because it is illogical
[05:11] <Titan8990> cybercom, I am telling you the way I know how to do it
[05:12] <xMopx> Izinucs: I don't think so - I've had ubuntu booting from a flash card for a few weeks, and this issue came up today
[05:12] <Peddy> usser, according to some people I need a statically linked xterm, how would I achieve this?
[05:12] <cybercom> Titan8990:  ok guide me
[05:12] <Titan8990> cybercom, you can choose to do it my way or continue to do what you are doing, its your choice
[05:12] <cybercom> how to do it
[05:12] <Cyntek> Nytrix, gparted is not working!
[05:12] <Cyntek> on ubuntu server 8.10
[05:12] <usser> Peddy, whats the architecture of the device? is it intel, arm?
[05:12] <Titan8990> cybercom, are both machines running linux?
[05:12] <cybercom> yup
[05:12] <Peddy> usser, intel
[05:12] <Titan8990> !rsync
[05:12] <Cyntek> without gtk gui.
[05:13] <Nytrix> Cyntek, sudo apt-get remove gparted
[05:13] <Cyntek> Alright.
[05:13] <Peddy> usser, it's like an embedded linux in my main motherboard, which boots in 3 seconds.
[05:13] <cybercom> Titan8990:  yess the source is running on ubuntu 6.06 and the dest is running on ubuntu 8.04
[05:13] <Titan8990> cybercom, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
[05:13] <Titan8990> cybercom, on the destination follow the steps in the section "configuring of rsync daemon"
[05:14] <Nytrix> anyone, how do i save a specific program that is already installed so i wont have to config everything all over?
[05:14] <cybercom> i tried tat 1 but the command "sudo rsync --delete -azvv -e ssh /home
[05:14] <cybercom> is this gonna
[05:14] <bizkit> hey can i get some help setting up ubuntu server as a gateway
[05:14] <usser> Peddy, you can try the binary
[05:14] <usser> Peddy, hang on
[05:15] <Myst> ok im having some problems with my IPtables... right now my server does not have internet access when i apply the rules... i am wondering if anyone knows what i need to set to ensure my server has internet
[05:15] <Titan8990> cybercom, that wasn't what I was talking about but just for sake of getting you through this, we will use ssh
[05:15] <Brack10> Hey there.  Ubuntu keeps corrupting my microsd card on my blackberry when I unplug it.  It doesn't recognise it half the time.  Anyone know what's going on?  How I can fix this?
[05:15] <Titan8990> cybercom, on the destination machine do:  sudo apt-get install open-ssh
[05:15] <usser> Peddy, http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Terminals/xterm-1781.shtml
[05:15] <Nytrix> JOIN #UBUNTU-SERVER
[05:15] <hmw> I am working on a system_info.sh script. Please test the current version http://paste.ubuntu.com/122672
[05:15] <Peddy> usser, I had a look there, it's the source
[05:15] <cybercom> ok
[05:15] <Cyntek> Nytrix, okay
[05:16] <Peddy> usser, someone said I need to 'USE='static' emerge xterm && qpkg x11-terms/xterm', what does that mean?
[05:17] <Titan8990> Peddy, that is for gentoo linux or freebsd only
[05:17] <Titan8990> Peddy, ubuntu does not use USE flags, emerge, or qpkg
[05:17] <usser> Peddy, thats from gentoo, it basically build an xterm binary statically linked, if your motherboard runs gentoo its the way to go
[05:17] <Peddy> Titan8990, ah, thanks.
[05:17] <Nytrix> anyone, how do i save a specific program that is already installed so i wont have to config everything all over again for another pc?
[05:17] <usser> Peddy, if not then that command is not much use
[05:18] <Peddy> usser, ah, so he meant to *build* a static xterm
[05:18] <Titan8990> !clonning | Nytrix
[05:18] <Titan8990> !clone | Nytrix
[05:18] <Titan8990> Nytrix, ehh, backup the config files?
[05:18] <Peddy> usser, how would I build a static xterm in ubuntu?
[05:18] <Titan8990> Nytrix, or look into how to build your own .deb files
[05:19] <usser> Peddy, yea basically but it wouldnt matter if you build it statically or not, it still has to link to your X server libraries. Its just that in case of static compilation all the libraries are going to be compiled into xterm executable thus making it bigger
[05:19] <usser> Peddy, i suppose you could compile it statically on a gentoo box like that, and then copy over the resulting executable
[05:20] <Peddy> usser, does it have to be gentoo, or is there a Windows equivalent?
[05:20] <usser> Peddy, no windows
[05:20] <usser> Peddy, regarding ubuntu: sudo apt-get source xterm
[05:20] <Peddy> usser, does it have to be gentoo, or is there a Ubuntu equivalent*
[05:20] <Peddy> I don't even use Windows, what was I talking about -.-
[05:21] <usser> Peddy, yes sure use above command to obtain source file
[05:21] <usser> *files
[05:21] <Titan8990> Peddy, there is not ubuntu equivilent of the gentoo package manager, but USE flags can still be used when compiling from source
[05:21] <Titan8990> Peddy, it is rather difficult without the portage package manager though
[05:21] <hmw> I am working on a system_info.sh4script. Please someone test the current version http://paste.ubuntu.com/122672
[05:22] <Peddy> Titan8990, I meant an 'equivalent' to that command :) but thanks for the info, how would I use those flags? configure --use=static? :P
[05:22] <usser> Peddy, actually you dont have to use sudo to obtain source
[05:22] <Brack10> Here's my syslog when I unplugged my blackberry.  It corrupted my filesystem.  Anyone know how I can fix this? http://pastebin.com/m44b7606a
[05:22] <usser> Peddy, once you get the source go through usual ./configure, make cycle
[05:22] <Peddy> usser, yeah, if you do it messes up permissions :)
[05:22] <Titan8990> Peddy, you would have to edit the makefile
[05:23] <usser> Peddy, make should have a whole bunch of options among which im sure is statically compile all libs
[05:23] <Peddy> usser, how would I set these options?
[05:24] <usser> Peddy, also if ./configure complains about missing libraries etc. use sudo apt-get build-dep xterm to obtain all the packages xterm depends on for compilation
[05:24] <Peddy> Titan8990, how should I edit the makefile?
[05:24] <Titan8990> Peddy, I prefer nano
[05:24] <Peddy> Titan8990, which parts should I change?
[05:25] <usser> Peddy, usually make --statically-link-or-something-like-that --with-colors --with-scrollbar. you basically just pass parameters to make script, or you can modify the Makefile in the root of your xterm sourcecode directory
[05:25] <Titan8990> Peddy, not entirely sure
[05:26] <Peddy> usser, I see a bunch of options, but nothing static-related...
[05:26] <error404notfound> I have a SATA 2, 500GB WD. When I attach it, I got something like "{ DRY ERROR }" and "{ DRY }" at bootup or during any operation. Do I need a special kernel module to support sata disks? It does show up in fdisk -l.

[05:32] <mobodo> thanks :)
[05:33] <Peddy> usser, rxvt has the exact same make options.
[05:33] <Mal3ko> how do you supply password in ssh cmd? is there -p switch?
[05:35] <Peddy> usser, I just found './configure --enable-static'. I'm on a 64-bit arch, but the embedded machine is not. Will static-linking make the executable fail on a 32-bit architecture?
[05:35] <Sa[i]nT> I want an eyecandy text editor.
[05:35] <Hilikus> can someone help me configure lirc, irw doesnt report any errors but it doestn show my key presses
[05:35] <usser> Peddy, compiling on 64 bit will produce 64 bit executable which will fail on 32 bit yes
[05:36] <Titan8990> Mal3ko, ssh@ipaddress
[05:36] <Titan8990> Mal3ko, then it asks for password
[05:36] <Peddy> usser, are you on 32-bit?
[05:36] <Mal3ko> Titan8990, no switch for supplying the password?
[05:36] <Titan8990> Mal3ko, if you don't want to it ask for a password (for automated scripting) you need to configure public key authentication
[05:36] <usser> Peddy, yea
[05:36] <Titan8990> Mal3ko, no
[05:36] <tech404> Does anyone know if jaunty can be installed on a GPT disk withough a EFI chip?
[05:36] <Titan8990> Mal3ko, they try to keep ssh very secure
[05:37] <Mal3ko> oic..
[05:37] <Peddy> usser, would it be too much trouble to ask you to compile rxvt statically for me? I'd *really* appreciate it, because I have no access to a 32-bit machine.
[05:37] <usser> Peddy, hang one
[05:37] <Peddy> except, of course, the embedded thing, but I can't compile anything on that.
[05:38] <ScoTTie> with mdadm, if you --fail --remove a device, and --add it back will it show up as a spare until its finished rebuilding?
[05:38] <usser> Peddy, cant find that --enable-static option
[05:39] <usser> Peddy, its not listed as an flag to ./configure
[05:39] <Peddy> usser, oh no, I thought that if configure doesn't fail it means it configured sucessfully... but it doesn't return errors even when random stuff is entered.
[05:40] <usser> Peddy, yep
[05:40] <Peddy> as a flag
[05:40] <Peddy> hm
[05:41] <Nytrix> !jaunty
[05:41] <Huufarted> Can anybody suggest a good VNC flavor for Ubuntu?  Right now I'm using the standard "Remote Desktop" which seems to be a decent remake of VNC, but is it the best?
[05:41] <Peddy> usser, I'm going to look at some different approaches to getting a terminal, thanks for your help :)
[05:42] <Nytrix> !best ! Peddy
[05:42] <usser> Peddy, hang on one sec
[05:42] <Nytrix> !best | Peddy
[05:43] <Nytrix> peddy, maybe tightvnc
[05:43] <Peddy> Nytrix, you don't understand what we've been talking about :)
[05:43] <tech404> Nytrix: while I would agree there is usually no "best" tightvnc is a great choice for most people
[05:43] <Peddy> usser, ok.
[05:45] <usser> Peddy, i got it, never done much compiling it was a compiler flag in the environment variable $CFLAGS that you have to set
[05:45] <Nytrix> :-)
[05:45] <Peddy> usser, what is the variable?
[05:46] <TraceRoute> I got some software that I run on ubuntu that is a .bin file and I want to make it so I can add an launcher icon instead of always having to do run it in a terminal how do I do this?
[05:47] <error404notfound> what's the partition code for XFS when I am doing it in fdisk?
[05:47] <crazyme> #xubuntu
[05:48] <usser> Peddy, its an environent variable that a compiler parses every time it compiles it basically tells it with what options to compile
[05:48] <Peddy> usser, I mean, what *is* the variable :)
[05:48] <usser> Peddy, how can i send it to you
[05:48] <Peddy> so I can set it
[05:48] <usser> Peddy, $CFLAGS
[05:48] <Peddy> usser, I'll PM you
[05:49] <usser> Peddy, im not registered so i dont think i can send files
[05:50] <CyberSurfer> What codec for Mplayer I need to play .mkv?
[05:50] <rd80770> Hi
[05:50] <Huufarted> Anybody know a decent way to test network throughput between 2 PCs on a LAN?
[05:50] <cooldduuudde1> cybersurfer you can use vlc
[05:51] <Peddy> usser, check your PMs
[05:51] <Huufarted> !vlc | cybersurfer
[05:51] <Huufarted> Ok, weak description of vlc
[05:51] <Huufarted> !videolan client
[05:51] <usser> Peddy, here try that http://www.mediafire.com/?xdy0d3szyme
[05:51] <Huufarted> !videolan
[05:51] <Peddy> thanks usser
[05:51] <CyberSurfer> Kay, I don't like VLC that much, I rather use Mplayer
[05:52] <cooldduuudde1> totem can play mkv too
[05:52] <CyberSurfer> The video works but the sound doesn't
[05:52] <Huufarted> CyberSurfer, the benefit of VLC is it's inclusion of all major codecs, negating the need for additional installs
[05:52] <crdlb> CyberSurfer: matroska is just a container format, which mplayer definitely supports
[05:52] <CyberSurfer> okay
[05:52] <crdlb> it may or may not support the format of the video and/or audio streams muxed _inside_ the mkv container
[05:52] <CyberSurfer> "Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound."
[05:53] <blackhat_> no body have the last ubuntu version 9.4
[05:53] <rd80770> Hi, I need help because I have a blur effect on my screen (I have a ATI HD 4550 with proprietary FGLRX driver)  Who can help me ? ? ?
[05:53] <Titan8990> !jaunty | blackhat_
[05:53] <MrPocketz> how long you think until we can start playing CS in Ubuntu?
[05:53] <Hammerhead> anyone seen the error no5 during install. input output.
[05:53] <Hammerhead> %52 done then error #5
[05:53] <crdlb> CyberSurfer: oh, in that case, it's an audio output problem
[05:54] <CyberSurfer> Hmm, but other videos are playing fine
[05:54] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, never, valve has no plans for a port
[05:54] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, if you don't mind a bit of lag and graphical glitches, you can play it via wine now
[05:54] <Uplink_> how can i install OpenDNS
[05:55] <MrPocketz> Titan8990, yeah i know, but its kinda sheisty
[05:55] <Titan8990> !opendns | Uplink_
[05:55] <CyberSurfer> Oh, it's working now, just changed the decoder from FFmp"something", to RealAudio decoder
[05:55] <christian_> ok, wierd question, but I printed a lot of text in a terminal (cat command), and then deleted the source on accident, is there anyway I can get this data back from the terminal, logs? etc?
[05:55] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, agreed, which is why one of my computers still has a crappy copy of windows on it
[05:55] <IcemanV9> Uplink_: there is instruction on opendns.com
[05:55] <Uplink_> ty
[05:56] <MrPocketz> yeup, i've got a dualboot for when I get the itch
[05:56] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, windows is nothing more than a gaming system to me now....
[05:56] <MrPocketz> yessah
[05:56] <MrPocketz> the directory /usr is where programs i DL go yes?
[05:56] <christian_> is there a logfile somewhere while a terminal session is open that displays everything that is printed out?
[05:57] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, /usr/ often contains application binaries, yes
[05:57] <crdlb> christian_: no
[05:57] <Huufarted> MrPocketz, the binary goes there, however there may be other locations where the rest of the files go
[05:57] <MrPocketz> i need to know where Azureas just DL's to so i can point my .torrents to the right application
[05:57] <rootzig> hello
[05:57] <rootzig> ;P
[05:57] <christian_> so if something was printed out, and then I deleted the file, and it has gone up past the point where I can scroll, it is gone forever?
[05:57] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, run the command:   which azureas
[05:57] <Huufarted> MrPocketz, first I'm going to recommend using a different BitTorrent client.  That being said, Check Azureus' settings
[05:58] <crdlb> christian_: yes, that buffer is stored in memory
[05:58] <MrPocketz> Huufarted, i've alwys used it, no problems. What do you use?
[05:58] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, and with what Huufarted, I personally like transmission
[05:58] <_VIM_> christian_: with Konsole you can have unlimited buffer :)
[05:58] <christian_> crdlb, is there anywhere I might try looking for that information? Or is it just gone/binary in memory only
[05:58] <christian_> _VIM_, what is console? I am guessing it is something that I have to set up before hand?
[05:58] <Huufarted> MrPocketz, honestly I haven't in Linux yet, but if it's anything like Windows, it's a disgusting implementation with it's Java usage
[05:59] <MrPocketz> oh gosd
[05:59] <MrPocketz> yeah
[05:59] <MrPocketz> no
[05:59] <_VIM_> christian_: sudo apt-get install konsole               then in konsole's preferences you can set unlimited buffer
[05:59] <Huufarted> hundreds of megabytes of RAM easily
[05:59] <MrPocketz> hah, Vuse (what they call Azureas for windows) actually raped my dads box last night
[05:59] <christian_> and if it was over SSH, then is that transmission also gone, i.e. printed and then deleted?
[05:59] <Titan8990> MrPocketz, yeah, just do: sudo apt-get install transmission
[06:00] <MrPocketz> within 5 minutes of running it my IDS started spitting out logs of attempted proxy connections and trojan deployments
[06:00] <Huufarted> Titan8990!  There you are.  I got my rsync situation handled no problem.
[06:00] <Titan8990> christian_, if you have a need to keep that, you can always direct stdio to a file
[06:00] <Titan8990> Huufarted, good to hear :)
[06:00] <Huufarted> Titan8990, check this out.  You might like this.  http://www.brentnorris.net/rsyncntdoc.html
[06:01] <Hammerhead> gentoo installs just fine.... ;-)
[06:01] <Hammerhead> BTW
[06:01] <Titan8990> Huufarted, nice, had to give up on delta copy?
[06:01] <Huufarted> Titan8990, it's not as pretty as your implementation, but it works incredibly.  I also removed my Fat32 partition and moved it all to Ext3.
[06:01] <Huufarted> Titan8990, I don't know the deal with DeltaCopy.  the rsync daemon REFUSED to load on that PC, but it did on all the others
[06:02] <Titan8990> Huufarted, odd
[06:02] <Huufarted> Titan8990, agreed.  Either way, this one uses a very simplified wrapper and it works incredibly well.
[06:03] <Titan8990> Huufarted, I have done something similar before to get ssh to run on a window server 2003 for openvpn
[06:03] <Huufarted> Titan8990, this is really strange and something I'm working on.  Transfers from that PC using rsync pulls about 10-12 MB/second max (usually 7-8MB/sec) and it's on 100 MBit.
[06:04] <Titan8990> Huufarted, thats actually about right
[06:04] <Huufarted> 2 PCs both with Gigabit, attached directly with a single cable pull about 6-7 MB MAX.
[06:04] <Titan8990> Huufarted, I have never seen any protocol pull much more than that on gbit network
[06:05] <Titan8990> Huufarted, I personally don't know the bottleneck is either
[06:05] <Huufarted> Titan8990, gigabit should be able to push 100 MB/sec easily
[06:05] <Huufarted> Titan8990, No, I'm not asking for help, I was just mentioning it.  :)  Small talk I suppose.  I suck at it.
[06:05] <Titan8990> Huufarted, you would think, but your drives can only handle 30-60 mb/s
[06:05] <Huufarted> yeah, that's true.
[06:06] <Titan8990> Huufarted, I am also not good with small talk, a bit easier when both are geeks though :P
[06:06] <Huufarted> hahahaha
[06:11] <smilefafa> hello
[06:11] <Gautam> hi i was using dreamweaver for web development ...is there any other editor for linux which provides functionality like dreamweaver
[06:12] <IcemanV9> what?! no parprouted package for dapper (it's LTS! for pete's sake). dang. looks like i have to update dapper to hardy (another LTS) soon. :/
[06:13] <TraceRoute> how do I make a script so I can run a .bin file from desktop?
[06:15] <oh_noes> Can I remove the "lost+found" directory on a mount point?
[06:15] <tri__> I have one .asm file and I want to copy that file to MBR of floppy. Can any one help me?
[06:15] <oh_noes> Or, make it hidden from nonroot users?
[06:16] <roadrock> TraceRoute: why? move the bin to home and run it
[06:17] <tri__> I have one .asm file and I want to copy that file to MBR of floppy. Can any one help me?
[06:17] <sparr> what program can i use to see activity on my audio input(s)?  I am trying to figure out which channel on which device corresponds to my actual mic jack
[06:17] <TraceRoute> roadrock well when I click it, it doesn't do anything it'll only run when I do it in a terminal
[06:20] <furqon> ramudeng aku
[06:20] <roadrock> TraceRoute: so just move it
[06:20] <blankthemuffin> Hi, I'm wondering how to connect to a shared printer when both sides are linux. ( doesn't seem to be as easy as a windows shared printer. :P )
[06:22] <trapline91> Can someone tell me the ubuntu off topic channel?
[06:22] <_VIM_> trapline91: #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:22] <trapline91> Thank you
[06:22] <_VIM_> np
[06:24] <xSlack> Whats the chmod to set full access to a file for a user
[06:24] <xMopx> Hey guys, I just re-installed gdm and ubuntu-desktop, and now my keyboard and mouse don't work on the login screen, but when I alt-ctrl-f1 to a terminal, the keyboard works. Also, in both the light on my usb mouse is on. Both used to work before I reinstalled the packages.
[06:27] <Titan8990> xMopx, try booting recover mode and select the option to fix x
[06:28] <Titan8990> xMopx, if that doesn't work try:   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:28] <Titan8990> xMopx, sounds like your keyboard and mouse drivers are not being loaded by xorg.conf
[06:28] <xMopx> Titan8990: Thanks, ill try those
[06:28] <xMopx> Oh, I already restore the xorg.conf from before I reinstalled
[06:29] <Th0rz> hey
[06:29] <Th0rz> how do i get cgi irc to work on ubuntu
[06:31] <Titan8990> Th0rz, have you checked the repos?
[06:31] <Th0rz> i read the website and readme if thats what your asking
[06:31] <Titan8990> Th0rz, do you have it installed?
[06:31] <Th0rz> sudo apt-get install cgiirc
[06:32] <Th0rz> i ran that
[06:32] <Th0rz> installed fine
[06:32] <alex__> hia
[06:32] <xMopx> Titan8990: I tried those both and restarted, but no luck
[06:32] <Titan8990> Th0rz, and?
[06:32] <peterson> how to copy something into /usr/bin
[06:32] <peterson> which has rights only for the root
[06:33] <norty> #j javascript
[06:33] <Titan8990> peterson, sudo cp /file/to/copy /usr/bin
[06:33] <Th0rz> sudo mv file /usr/bin
[06:33] <norty> oops
[06:34] <alex__> I've got a fresh install of Ubuntu on a macbook pro using Wubi- I've gotten everything to work: video, sound, network, etc. Except I have a problem. About 10 or so minutes uptime, the sound server begings looping the last half a second of audio, as if it had frozen, and if I try to restart alsa-utils it still happens. So, where can I get logs for ALSA, or if ALSA isn't the culprit, for another, and how can I fix this? Thank you. :3
[06:34] <Th0rz> Titan8990 it installed fine but how do i use it.... like as a website thing i dont understand how it works on this os
[06:34] <Titan8990> Th0rz, its a CLI IRC client....
[06:34] <Titan8990> Th0rz, just run it and go from there
[06:34] <e-type> hi all
[06:35] <Th0rz> but how?
[06:35] <peterson> thans Titan8990
[06:35] <Titan8990> Th0rz, most likely it added the binary somewhere in your PATH
[06:35] <Airwulf> hey
[06:35] <jeeves> has anyone here installed bluediving yet?  I can't seem to get it launched
[06:35] <e-type> the ubuntu installer doesn't seem to detect my XP installation and doesn't offer to resize it's NTFS partition. What might be causing this?
[06:35] <Titan8990> Th0rz, so you just need to run it with something like:   cgiirc
[06:36] <jeeves> e-type, as in an e-type Jag?
[06:36] <Th0rz> -bash: cgiirc: command not found
[06:36] <e-type> jeeves: not originally, but like it as well ;-)
[06:36] <e-type> jeeves: not as in the swedish band either :p
[06:36] <jeeves> e-type, lol.  I'm normally in the #jag-lovers channel.  that's why I asked
[06:37] <e-type> :D
[06:37] <Titan8990> Th0rz, ah, it is a GUI application
[06:37] <trapline91> How can I use Ext4 in Ubuntu 8.10
[06:37] <Airwulf> I updated my system from 7.x to 8.04 LTS. How can I upgrade to 8.10 the manager doesn't show me the upgrade dialog?
[06:37] <Titan8990> Th0rz, try to tab complete the name of the command starting with cg
[06:37] <dadda> I can't change my screen resolutiob
[06:37] <rww> Airwulf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades
[06:38] <panesar_sandeep> how to make use of swap space to achieve efficiency
[06:38] <rww> trapline91: Ubuntu 8.10's kernel doesn't have ext4 support, so you can't. The next version, Jaunty 9.04 will.
[06:38] <trapline91> Figured..
[06:38] <Titan8990> panesar_sandeep, not using it would be the most efficient use since it is MUCH slower than real RAM
[06:39] <panesar_sandeep> i have created a swap space but don't know whether its used aur not
[06:39] <alex__> anyone? ):
[06:40] <Titan8990> panesar_sandeep, cat /etc/proc/meminfo
[06:40] <dadda> Why can't I choose my correct screen resolution? I have a 24inch monitor which I want a screen size of 1920x1200 but I have 1152*864
[06:40] <panesar_sandeep> k i'll try it out
[06:40] <DustyL> (Paste again) I've got a fresh install of Ubuntu on a macbook pro using Wubi- I've gotten everything to work: video, sound, network, etc. Except I have a problem. About 10 or so minutes uptime, the sound server begings looping the last half a second of audio, as if it had frozen, and if I try to restart alsa-utils it still happens. So, where can I get logs for ALSA, or if ALSA isn't the culprit, for another, and how can I fix this? Thank you. :3
[06:42] <creaux> DustyL: you could try: sudo alsa force-reload
[06:42] <DustyL> hmm!
[06:43] <Titan8990> dadda, most likely not using the correct drivers
[06:43] <DustyL> lots of errors in the terminal o.O but it worked!
[06:43] <bobbi> dadda: did you install the video drivers
[06:43] <Titan8990> dadda, or other improper configuration of xorg.conf
[06:43] <DustyL> where can I find the logs for alsa?
[06:44] <dadda> I just installed xubuntu directly and I have a ATI RADEON X850 Platium as my video card
[06:44] <dadda> Which drivers should I use and how do I switch?
[06:44] <_VIM_> DustyL: what might seem like a lot of "errors" might just be debugging info
[06:45] <DustyL> hmm
[06:45] <DustyL> Thank you :3 this is awesome
[06:45] <e-type> hm, running ntfsresize manually on the partition sais that there's errors on the disk. Could this be the reason why the installer silently decides not to show the resize option?
[06:45] <peterson> when i do echo $PATH
[06:45] <dadda> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc R480 [Radeon X850XT Platinum (PCIE)] [1002:5d4d]
[06:46] <peterson> i get /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[06:46] <peterson> now which is my Path
[06:46] <peterson> new to ubuntu sorry :-)
[06:46] <glitsj16> peterson: all of those
[06:46] <bobbi> !ati
[06:46] <peterson>  /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin
[06:46] <peterson> like this
[06:46] <glitsj16> peterson: they are separated by the colon yes
[06:47] <DustyL> Do you know how I could find the logs, though, guys?
[06:47] <Titan8990> dadda, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:47] <IcemanV9> DustyL: /var/log
[06:47] <peterson> ok so if i want to add something to the path
[06:47] <peterson> i will have to add to all of them separated by :
[06:47] <peterson> am i correct
[06:47] <Titan8990> peterson, yes
[06:47] <peterson> ok
[06:47] <peterson> thanks
[06:47] <Titan8990> peterson, but you always want to include your existing path
[06:47] <dadda> http://paste.ubuntu.com/122682/
[06:48] <peterson> ?
[06:48] <Titan8990> peterson, like so:   export PATH='$PATH:/new/path'
[06:48] <DustyL> it wasnt in /var/log, iceman
[06:48] <peterson> uhh not getting u but onto something
[06:48] <Titan8990> peterson, I am saying you can't just add a new path like:   export PATH='/new/path'
[06:49] <peterson> ok
[06:49] <Titan8990> peterson, because then you don't keep your existing paths
[06:49] <glitsj16> peterson: if you would export PATH only mentioning the new path, things get overwritten and you end up with only the newly added path
[06:49] <panesar_sandeep> titan8990, it gives output no such file or directory
[06:49] <DustyL> it wasnt in /var/log, IcemanV9
[06:49] <Titan8990> panesar_sandeep, it may just be the command: meminfo
[06:50] <peterson> ok
[06:50] <IcemanV9> DustyL: it could be in syslog or dmesg

[06:52] <foo> askvictor: ./program &
[06:52] <askvictor> foo: the program is already started
[06:53] <foo> askvictor: ohhh, I see.
[06:53] <askvictor> foo: and that won't work anyway; the program would still be attached to the erminal
[06:54] <Titan8990> askvictor, you could just run it from a tty
[06:54] <DustyL> IcemanV9 : It just shows the device initialising, theres no reports of it crashing or anything.
[06:55] <IcemanV9> askvictor: nohup ./script &
[06:55] <panesar_sandeep> titan8990, command not found
[06:55] <IcemanV9> DustyL: ah. well. i don't know where else to look for. hmm.
[06:56] <Titan8990> cat /proc/meminfo
[06:56] <askvictor> IcemanV9, Titan8990: the proc is already running, I don't want to stop it
[06:56] <Titan8990> is that what I gave the first time?
[06:57] <DustyL> hmm, IcemanV9, how can I see what version of ALSA and pulseaudio I'm running?
[06:58] <active9> hi
[06:59] <Titan8990> DustyL, I THINK,   dpkg -l | grep alsa
[06:59] <Titan8990> DustyL, not currently on a ubuntu system
[07:00] <DustyL> that worked ^^ 1.0.17.dfsg-2ubuntu1
[07:00] <Titan8990> DustyL, nice
[07:01] <jeeves> I need a hand to get BlueDiving working.  Right now, it' s crashing on rfcomm_shell  any ideas?
[07:01] <DarkNite> $;$:&:
[07:01] <active9> why when I used  grep "CIT502*" it grep all data
[07:01] <DustyL> is there a way to upgrade my version of ALSA?
[07:02] <IcemanV9> DustyL: OR aptitude show alsa-base |grep Version
[07:02] <dadda> I have installed the correct drivers but I can't still change my screen resolution to 1920x1200
[07:03] <ljlolel> Failed to load interface for `Graphics.X11.Xlib.Extras': no package matching X11-1.4.1 was found
[07:03] <ljlolel> how do I fix that error?
[07:03] <DarkNite> /list
[07:03] <DarkNite> Oops
[07:04] <Titan8990> dadda, I have been waiting to see your xorg.conf....
[07:04] <unop> active9, how do you mean??  do you have an example to show us?
[07:05] <dadda> Titan8990, here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/122689/
[07:05] <|HSO|SadiQ> when I press ALT+Ctrl+F1 I can't see a login prompt...my screen turns black...how can I fix it??
[07:05] <twain> hello i need talk someone help solve with firefox tab
[07:06] <Titan8990> dadda, you are using vesa drivers....
[07:06] <DustyL> is there a way to upgrade my version of ALSA?
[07:06] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: what video driver?
[07:06] <twain> i need help
[07:06] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb,  nvidia 180.29
[07:06] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: I believe it's a pretty common problem with nvidia when using compositing
[07:07] <dadda> http://paste.ubuntu.com/122690/
[07:07] <dadda> Titan8990, How do I activate open-source radeon drivers then?
[07:07] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, how do I disable it then??
[07:07] <twain> anyone will help me solve with firefox 3.0?
[07:08] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: compositing? system > prefs > appearance > visual effects > none
[07:08] <wangyuan270> /msg nickserv identify 369238046
[07:08] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, ahhh...it is set to none already...no compiz stuff here
[07:08] <twain> please?
[07:08] <Ademan> wangyuan270: ...
[07:09] <glitsj16> twain: what is your issue ?
[07:09] <Ademan> !ask | twain
[07:09] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: it's probably still caused by the nvidia driver; you don't have shadows around your windows do you?
[07:09] <Titan8990> dadda, do this:   sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[07:10] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, no...
[07:10] <dadda> Titan8990, Done
[07:10] <twain> ok  firefox website there has no "x" on tab to quit website or close
[07:10] <Titan8990> dadda, then replace the contents of xorg.conf with mine that I modified for your resolution: http://pastebin.com/d38ac02e3
[07:10] <Ademan> |HSO|SadiQ: i have a similar issue, if your ttys aren't working it's probably your nvidia driver
[07:10] <Titan8990> dadda, its not perfect and a bit messy but should work
[07:10] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: I ask because metacity (the plain ubuntu window manager) has a builtin compisiting manager that you might have enabled
[07:10] <bobbi> !ati | dadda
[07:11] <Ademan> |HSO|SadiQ: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=58749&pid=320147&mode=threaded&show=&st=&
[07:11] <Titan8990> bobbi, those are for the proprietary drivers
[07:11] <dadda> bobbi, That is for the non open source drivers yes
[07:11] <Ademan> mainline metacity has compositing support already?
[07:11] <Ademan> goodbye xcompmgr :-(
[07:11] <crdlb> Ademan: basically an integrated xcompgr :P
[07:12] <Ademan> lol
[07:12] <crdlb> copypasta
[07:12] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, I don't even know how to enable it...no compositing line in xorg also
[07:13] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, you may have to add the line yourself
[07:13] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, I did, had to add the whole section actually
[07:13] <dadda> Titan8990, Done I have replaced the Xorg.conf what now?
[07:13] <bobbi> Dadda yes
[07:13] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, can u paste those lines please
[07:14] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, yes, let me finish helping dadda
[07:14] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: it's probably unrelated to compositing
[07:14] <Titan8990> dadda, alright, if this doesn't work to referse the settings we made:   sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:14] <twain> glitsj16?
[07:15] <Titan8990> dadda, hit CTRL+ATL+backspace to restart xserver
[07:15] <Titan8990> dadda, and you should then be using the open source radeon drivers
[07:15] <jmatrix> hi
[07:15] <Mal3ko> how do you tell cp cmd to overwrite all files?
[07:15] <Mal3ko> overwrite all existing files in dest
[07:15] <twain> jmatrix y know lots about linux?
[07:16] <glitsj16> twain: i use an add-on for all things tab-related in firefox, tab mix plus .. but there are numerous others available, try to install one and play with the settings i'd suggest
[07:16] <zhjawe> Hi,everyone,please recommend a IRC Room that studying machine vision,Thank you.
[07:16] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, Section "Extensions"
[07:16] <Titan8990> 	Option "Composite" "Enable"
[07:16] <Titan8990> EndSection
[07:16] <twain> glitsj16 can i send file to you so u can see picture
[07:16] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, I'll paste those an log out
[07:16] <to3000> april 23
[07:16] <bobbi> Dadda : install proprietary fglrx drivers they work niceley
[07:16] <crdlb> Titan8990: he doesn't want compositing
[07:16] <to3000> cant wait
[07:17] <Titan8990> crdlb, thats what he asked me for???
[07:17] <glitsj16> twain: can't stop you from posting a url with a screenshot :)
[07:17] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: the composite extension is already enabled, but it doesn't really do anything unless you enable effects
[07:17] <clearzen> Do I need to run a 64 bit system to use more than 3.2GB of ram?
[07:17] <dadda> Titan8990, correct resolution on my monitor but my desktop manager are not useing my entire monitor
[07:18] <hmw> is wget available in a fresh install?
[07:18] <ardchoille> twain: you can change the tab button behavior in about:config -> button
[07:18] <Titan8990> dadda, does your monitor have an auto-adjust feature?
[07:18] <crdlb> Titan8990: he has blank ttys with the nvidia driver and I thought it might have been caused by having a compositing manager enabled
[07:18] <clearzen> hmw:  yes
[07:18] <dadda> Titan8990,
[07:18] <crdlb> which isn't the case, apparently
[07:18] <zhjawe> 郁闷。
[07:18] <twain> glitsj16  it jpg file..
[07:18] <glitsj16> clearzen: yup
[07:18] <dadda> Titan8990, Yes running it now
[07:18] <Peddy> How would I remove the first 32 bytes of a file?
[07:18] <dadda> Titan8990, It still looks the same
[07:18] <glitsj16> twain: ardchoille answered your question
[07:18] <clearzen> glitsj16: hmm, Well I guess I need to reinstall *sigh*
[07:18] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, so...any other aproach to my tty's problem besides compositing?
[07:19] <clearzen> How much ram can I run with a 64bit OS?
[07:19] <Titan8990> dadda, try a full reboot, if it doesn't work, I have one more idea
[07:19] <dadda> ok
[07:19] <dadda> rebooting
[07:19] <Titan8990> clearzen, more than any modern board can handle
[07:19] <deepz> anyone knows how to compare two params file which is generated after building a testcase?
[07:19] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: get nvidia to fix their driver? :/
[07:20] <ActionParsnip1> clearzen: a few Tbs
[07:20] <clearzen> Titan8990: Thats good news at least
[07:20] <deepz> using shell script
[07:20] <ActionParsnip1> deepz: diff
[07:20] <crdlb> |HSO|SadiQ: you could try asking about a workaround in the #nvidia channel
[07:20] <peterson> how to install adobe acrobat reader <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:20] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, that's why I need those tty's...to install the latest nvidia driver
[07:20] <peterson> i am on linux
[07:20] <peterson> ubuntu 8.04
[07:20] <Titan8990> clearzen, 2^64
[07:21] <clearzen> Titan8990: makes sense
[07:21] <ce> hi
[07:21] <Potjie> hii
[07:21] <deepz> how to diff using a shell script
[07:21] <dadda> Titan8990, My login page is smaller than my screen resolution that includes the desktop manager
[07:21] <twain> tab button behavior in config button where?
[07:21] <xemacs> clearzen Titan8990, most 64bit OSs only use 48bit fpr memory adressing
[07:21] <ce> asl
[07:22] <xemacs> -which is still quite enough ;)-
[07:22] <ActionParsnip1> clearzen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit
[07:22] <Titan8990> dadda, and it does not take up the entire screen?
[07:22] <ardchoille> twain: open a new tab, type in about:config in that new tab you will see a textbox next to "Filter:", type in closebuttons and change the number to what you want
[07:22] <tri__> Can dd command help to write to mbr
[07:22] <ActionParsnip1> Titan8990: 64bit OSes usually have funky ram managers so it can be even more than 2^64
[07:22] <dadda> Titan8990, correct I have a strip of un used space below and on the right side
[07:22] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: sure
[07:22] <Titan8990> tri__, yes, dd can write to mbr
[07:23] <ardchoille> twain: changing the "Value" to 1 will result in "X" on each tab
[07:23] <Titan8990> dadda, odd, are you sure it is using 1920x1200 resolution?
[07:23] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, can u give me complete syntax
[07:23] <dadda> Titan8990, Yes
[07:23] <Titan8990> tri__, we don't know what you are trying to accomplish
[07:23] <clearzen> so, if I am running a 64bit os with 32 bit software lets say firefox. Would 32bit firefox be able to use more than 3.2GB of Ram?
[07:23] <dadda> Titan8990, How do I take a screenshot so you can take a look at it
[07:23] <co> hii
[07:24] <Titan8990> dadda, prtscn button
[07:24] <crdlb> clearzen: no, since it stores the memory address in a 32bit int
[07:24] <Titan8990> tri__, if you wanted to say, write zeros to only the mbr it would be like:   dd if=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/zero
[07:25] <crdlb> the system memory limit for 32bit can be worked around, but not the per-process one
[07:25] <clearzen> crdlb: ok that's what I thought. Thanks for the help
[07:25] <Booh> I have a movie file without extension, how to know wich video format is?
[07:25] <twain> i cant find it,.. in file,edit,view,history,tools,
[07:25] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: well i dont know what you want to write there, or even why
[07:25] <xemacs> (08:25:02) (crdlb) the system memory limit for 32bit can be worked around, but not the per-process one <- photoshop had such a workaround
[07:25] <Titan8990> Booh, you could vlc, so it doesn't matter, but otherwise, google
[07:25] <glitsj16> peterson: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/23/install-adobe-acrobat-reader-812-on-ubuntu-804/ .. despite the reference to 8.1.2 it works for recent 8.1.3 as well
[07:25] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, adding compositing didn't solve my tty's :(
[07:25] <xemacs> it could use more than 2gb (which is the limit for 32bit apps in windows)
[07:26] <crdlb> xemacs: ok, but I mean generally :)
[07:26] <Booh> Titan8990, I need to know because facebook need extension to import...
[07:26] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, xorg does not effect the TTYs
[07:26] <crdlb> like without modifying apps
[07:26] <clearzen> Booh: well technically the linux kenel doesn't care about extensions but gnome does. Just name it .avi and vlc will play it more than likely
[07:26] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, you know what does then??
[07:26] <Booh> Titan8990, it's my own video extracted from a vhs... to vcd
[07:26] <Titan8990> Booh, then google would get my vote
[07:26] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, umm framebuffer setting in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:26] <Brando753> hey guys, why is it when i delete something (BIG) from my jumpdrive it shows the same amount of storage left?
[07:27] <tri__> Titan8990, ActionParsnip1  I want to write to MBR of floppy? Reason behind it is I am student of MCA and has project about it in OS.
[07:27] <glitsj16> Booh: open it with a decent player and get the exac info from in there, and rename accordingly
[07:27] <dadda> Titan8990, How do I get Print Screen Button Image into a picture file?
[07:27] <peterson> thanks glitsj16
[07:27] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: grub can do that for you
[07:27] <glitsj16> peterson: you're welcome
[07:27] <Titan8990> tri__, floppies do not have MBRs
[07:27] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: i dont know the bits and bytes to write an MBR, grub does
[07:27] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, is it "normal" that I have to manually change that line or is it a bug?
[07:28] <Titan8990> ActionParsnip1, its the first 512 bytes of a disk
[07:28] <Brando753> how do i actually delete a file from my flash drive
[07:28] <Brando753> ?
[07:28] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, I use a different distro, and it is normal for me
[07:28] <ardchoille> twain: you can't find what?
[07:28] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, I have a .asm file and I want to write to MBR of floppy and create img of it.
[07:28] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, can u tell me what vga line/number to add and how???
[07:28] <twain> ardchoille please look picture on file i am send you now
[07:29] <ardchoille> twain: you can't send me any files
[07:29] <Titan8990> Booh, looks like vcd uses mpeg-1 codec
[07:29] <twain> it just picture.. of firefox
[07:29] <ardchoille> twain: you can't send me any files
[07:29] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, I hope that .asm file make floppy bootable
[07:29] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, I don't even know whats wrong with your TTY....
[07:29] <twain> ok
[07:29] <Brando753> ;(
[07:29] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: the file extension doesnt mean much in linux
[07:30] <ardchoille> twain: open a new tab, type in about:config in that new tab you will see a textbox next to "Filter:", type in closebuttons and change the number to what you want
[07:30] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, when I press ALT+CTRL+F1 I get a black screen
[07:30] <ardchoille> twain: Which part of that is not clear?
[07:30] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, but this is after xorg fails, correct?
[07:30] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, Its assembly language file from Fasm.
[07:30] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, xorg works...I'm using it now to post here
[07:31] <xSlack> Which format do standard webpages generally go with when it comes to - elastic, dynamic, and static
[07:31] <Titan8990> |HSO|SadiQ, ah, idk honestly
[07:31] <twain> open new tab  where?   website top say "file,edit,histoy,tools,help i click "file" then not show it
[07:31] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: you could try: dd if=<asm file> of=/dev/<floppy drive>
[07:31] <ardchoille> twain: in firefox
[07:31] <Titan8990> twain, ctrl+t opens a new tab
[07:31] <ardchoille> twain: ctrl+t
[07:31] <twain> ok hold
[07:32] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, tks
[07:32] <Titan8990> tri__, did you write the code?
[07:32] <IcemanV9> Brando753: depends ... in the terminal, rm /media/<usb flash>/filename OR open nautilus and go to usb drive. delete the file
[07:32] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: might not work. i have no idea what you are doing, or what this file is
[07:32] <mysticdarkhack> hello all
[07:32] <twain> not that one   can i send you in email  picture
[07:32] <Booh> Titan8990, I try mpeg...
[07:33] <ardchoille> twain: you can upload pictures to http://imageshack.us/
[07:33] <mysticdarkhack> anyone know where the usplash image and folder located?
[07:33] <ardchoille> twain: but you need to give me the url of the uploaded pic
[07:33] <ActionParsnip1> !usplash
[07:34] <ActionParsnip1> mysticdarkhack: that may tell you
[07:34] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip1: wow, I didn't know it was that easy (re: usplash)
[07:34] <Titan8990> Booh, I am just going off of wikipedia claims: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vcd
[07:34] <Brando753> Icemanv9 i was in nautilus and hit delete on a 1.3 gb file, however it didnt even show an extra mb of free space on the flash drive ;(
[07:34] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, The thing I want to do is : I want to make a bootable floopy which shows some message on boot.
[07:34] <ActionParsnip1> ardchoille: message him and learn his wisdom ;)
[07:34] <ardchoille> :)
[07:35] <IcemanV9> Brando753: refresh the nautilus?
[07:35] <Booh> ok thanks.  but I ever used a console command to tell meta-data but I don't remember
[07:35] <Brando753> IcemanV9, of Course :P
[07:35] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, The .asm file contain boot code.
[07:35] <ActionParsnip1> tri__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy
[07:35] <dadda> Titan8990, Heres a screenshot ... take a look http://bayimg.com/OanFkAAbM
[07:35] <git_> how does one view the content of .bz2 ?
[07:35] <git_> bzip2 -l bzip2.file.bz2?
[07:36] <twain> http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firefoxe.jpg
[07:36] <twain> see there no "x"
[07:36] <Brando753> hey guys, why is it when i delete something (BIG) from my jumpdrive it shows the same amount of storage left?
[07:37] <ardchoille> twain: ok, I completely misunderstood what you wanted. From that picture I can see that your window manager isn't running
[07:37] <xemacs> Brando753 f*cked up filesystem?
[07:37] <Brando753> :(
[07:37] <tri__> ActionParsnip1, I simply wants to know command that write files to boot sector of floppy?
[07:37] <Brando753> ;(
[07:37] <ardchoille> twain: go back to firefox and hit f11
[07:37] <twain> i am trying close firefox  but there no "x"
[07:38] <twain> ok hold..
[07:38] <ActionParsnip2> i cant advise out anything like that.   .asm means nothing. if you run: file <.asm file> you will see what you system sees it as
[07:38] <ardchoille> twain: forget f11, sorry
[07:38] <ActionParsnip2> twain: alt+f4
[07:38] <ardchoille> twain: to close firefox, ctrl+q
[07:38] <twain> i am back   ok
[07:38] <Brando753> !tty
[07:38] <twain> alt f4   or ctrl q ?
[07:39] <ardchoille> twain: sorry for the misunderstanding
[07:39] <Brando753> what is tty screen for?
[07:39] <Brando753> what does it stand for?
[07:39] <twain> no  not your fault  i dont speak english very good. that why
[07:39] <Brando753> <---- Beginer :P
[07:39] <ardchoille> twain: in my firefox, File -> Quit = ctrl+q
[07:40] <glitsj16> git_: bunzip2 <filename>
[07:40] <ActionParsnip2> Brando753: tty = http://www.google.com/url?q=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tty_(Unix)&ei=2fWkSd6bO8H7tge8kOXbBA&sa=X&oi=spellmeleon_result&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNE_EdRu17-wvTvQO89SK1QY4X20Cg
[07:40] <co> hii
[07:40] <ActionParsnip2> god i hate google
[07:40] <twain> ok but how can i put "x" ?
[07:40] <twain> there is no 'X' on firefox i dont know why
[07:40] <ActionParsnip2> Brando753: its teletypewriter
[07:41] <IcemanV9> other word ... tty == console
[07:41] <ActionParsnip2> twain: type fire in terminal and press tab a few times
[07:41] <mnguyen> Anybody here who can provide a good iTunes alternative? I have a very lightweight system right now... so i'm hesitant to install Amarok since it'll install all the kdelibs...
[07:41] <ardchoille> twain: are you using an nvidia 5 or 6 series video card with compiz?
[07:42] <Brando753> and any help why my flash drive wont free up space when i delete stuff?
[07:42] <mysticdarkhack> mrgutried songbird
[07:42] <twain> i am use nvida  8200 compiz yes
[07:42] <ActionParsnip2> ardchoille: i used a 6 series with compiz, was fine
[07:43] <IcemanV9> mnguyen: audacious?
[07:43] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip1: I was told by the compiz folks that nvidia geforce 5 and 6 series had problems with the titlebar in compiz and gave me a great fix
[07:44] <twain> i never had problem until today "x" is gone. on firefox
[07:44] <ardchoille> twain: you might try asking in #compiz-fusion
[07:45] <dadda> Titan8990,
[07:45] <ardchoille> twain: the problem is you're missing your titlebar in firefox
[07:45] <twain> everything is fine special firefox windows there no "x"
[07:45] <twain> yes it miss titlebar on firefox so how can i solve w it?
[07:45] <glitsj16> mnguyen: http://lifehacker.com/394046/copy-music-from-your-iphone-or-ipod-to-your-computer-for-free presents a short overview of your options, could be a starting point
[07:45] <ardchoille> twain: I don't know, you might try asking in #compiz-fusion
[07:46] <twain> ok where can i ask?
[07:46] <IcemanV9> twain: did you change the firefox theme today?
[07:46] <bohemian_> hi anyone who can take a look in my xorg config?

[07:46] <ntty350> salut tout le monde
[07:47] <Viking667> hey there.
[07:47] <Viking667> Sorry about this question, but in Ubuntu, to make an initrd, do I use "mkinitramfs"?
[07:48] <GB1> When I install Ubuntu in IBM R30 it say " Disabled IRQ #15" and do nothing? How to do next?
[07:48] <Viking667> I'm helping another user, who's pretty new to the whole process.
[07:48] <ActionParsnip2> bohemian_: you arent using an nvidia driver, only the stock nv one, nvidia has great support for dual monitors
[07:48] <Viking667> He's installed a kernel sourcetree, compiled a kernel, stuffed in to /boot, edited grub's menu.lst, now we're making the initrd
[07:49] <phrozendead> What is a good iTouch manager for Ubuntu?
[07:49] <ntty350> j'ai un problème, hier je réinstall ubuntu (changement disque dur raid) et après réinstallation des drivers propriio ati plus d'image sur mon 24" hdmi, même au boot plus rien alors que ca fonctionnait avant, en vga ca fonctionne, et si je branche un dvi et que je fait pause sur le boot et que je le remplace par l'adaptateur hdmi dvi j'ai l'image quelques secondes donc ca vient pas du câble ni de l'adaptateur...
[07:49] <ActionParsnip2> GB1: did you md4 check your iso before burning, as well as verify the burned cd was 100% correct?
[07:49] <GB1> Yes
[07:50] <ActionParsnip2> !fr | ntty350
[07:50] <IcemanV9> !fr | ntty350
[07:50] <ntty350> oh sorry, I think it is french but not, sorry???
[07:50] <Viking667> non.

[07:50] <GB1> acpi=off
[07:51] <ActionParsnip2> GB1: try disabling some hardware in bios, like lan and sound and other useless junk while you install
[07:51] <scrow213> Hello
[07:51] <scrow213> Anyone able to help me with a problem?
[07:52] <Seveas> !anyone | scrow213
[07:52] <scrow213> lol ok
[07:52] <scrow213> Well I am having a problem with Firefox and Flash programs
[07:52] <GB1> IRQ #15 is slave IDE (cd rom)?
[07:52] <scrow213> I already have Adobe 10 installed
[07:52] <scrow213> But, for instance, YouTube frequently does not work
[07:53] <Seveas> describe 'does not work' :)
[07:53] <scrow213> Well some videos I attempt to load just show a blank white spot
[07:53] <scrow213> Some load fine
[07:53] <scrow213> Some just say they are loading but do nothing
[07:53] <ActionParsnip2> scrow213: 32bit or 64bit linux?
[07:53] <Seveas> are you using any adblocker?
[07:53] <scrow213> 64
[07:53] <scrow213> Not to my knowledge
[07:54] <Seveas> ah, 64bit flash is still quite buggy afaik
[07:54] <scrow213> But I can't explain it
[07:54] <scrow213> For instance
[07:54] <scrow213> Homestarrunner.com
[07:54] <scrow213> I can view parts of the site which is entirely flash (I think)
[07:54] <Viking667> Okay, I'm out of here.
[07:54] <scrow213> and other parts I cannot load properly
[07:56] <scrow213> I just don't know what to do
[07:56] <paul68> hi I have a problem with ssh  I can succesfully connect from my laptop => server, laptop => desktop , desktop=> server however I am not able to connect from my server or desktop to my laptop even removed the known hosts and reinstalled everything on my laptop  please adviced?
[07:56] <Seveas> scrow213, wait for adobe to fix it or use 32bit version :)
[07:56] <scrow213> How do I switch to 32?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip2> scrow213: here's how i do it: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/11/25/64-bit-adobe-flash-ubuntu.html
[07:56] <Seveas> nspluginwrapper
[07:57] <Seveas> paul68, is openssh-servr installed and running on the laptop? It's not installed by default
[07:57] <ActionParsnip2> scrow213: if you manually download the 64bit .so and put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins you win
[07:57] <scrow213> Grr... such a computer tard...
[07:58] <scrow213> I will try to figure this out
[07:58] <paul68> Seveas: yes its running
[07:59] <Seveas> paul68, what's the error you get then? Could you pastebin the output of 'ssh -vvv laptop' ?
[07:59] <WarriorSlayer> ppl how i get rid of a package that tried to install and could not be installed and now is locked in apt-get?
[08:00] <Seveas> WarriorSlayer, dpkg --remove --purge name_of_package
[08:00] <WarriorSlayer> Seveas: ty ^^
[08:01] <AnRkey> where does gnome-main-menu store it's settings for the "start" icon
[08:01] <AnRkey> ?
[08:01] <Seveas> AnRkey, I wouldn't be surprised if it's somewhere in gconf
[08:02] <Milkeh> how come my openoffice is a bunch of symbols?
[08:02] <crdlb> I believe it's just an image somewhere in /usr/share
[08:02] <jxander> is there any usb 5.1 sound card working great with ubuntu?
[08:02] <Seveas> crdlb, that's also very well possible. Something with 'vendor' in the name iirc
[08:02] <scrow213> Can someone assist me with Terminal? I am attempting to manually move this file but I am not sure how to terminal my way into the folder
[08:02] <Seveas> Milkeh, the document or the application interface?
[08:03] <paul68> Seveas: solved the problem it was a username issue
[08:03] <Seveas> paul68, ok :)
[08:03] <davbran> is there a way to filter out the channel announements, the coming and going?
[08:03] <ApOgEE-> hi all... how to select/highlight text in terminal using keyboard?
[08:03] <Seveas> davbran, with x-chat: rightclick on the channel name in the left area and find the option :)
[08:04] <llragsll> I have an ubuntu gateway hare through which all traffic goes. I need a way to monitor the data transferred through this machine. any suggestions?
[08:04] <Seveas> llragsll, iptraf, bwm, wireshark/tshark
[08:05] <Stralytic> llragsll, monitor in real time, or over a period?
[08:05] <llragsll> thx Seves...
[08:05] <Milkeh> Seveas, application interface
[08:05] <Seveas> llragsll, or mrtg or cacti if you want graphs
[08:05] <phrozendead> How do I manage my iTouch on ubuntu 9.04?
[08:05] <llragsll> monitored in realtime will be better...
[08:05] <Seveas> Milkeh, missing font package? is ubuntu-desktopp still installed, is apt-get giving errors?
[08:05] <llragsll> actually I was using munin..
[08:06] <Seveas> munin will do as well
[08:06] <llragsll> but I munin doesn't give the data transfered
[08:06] <Stralytic> llragsll, i like trafshow in package netdiag
[08:06] <llragsll> it just give the rate...
[08:06] <Seveas> Stralytic, is that like iptraf?
[08:06] <Milkeh> Seveas, nope and nope
[08:06] <Stralytic> llragsll, you want to capture the actual packets?
[08:07] <Milkeh> Seveas, wait sorry, I think ubuntu-desktop is still installed, and geting no apt errors
[08:07] <Seveas> Milkeh, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then (unless you're using kubuntu/xubuntu)
[08:07] <Stralytic> Seveas, yeah similar
[08:07] <llragsll> Stralytic, not to capture, but to get the data going thru the gateway
[08:07] <llragsll> sort of a counter, in and out
[08:07] <scrow213> Can someone look at this page and see if it loads normally for them? http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html
[08:07] <Seveas> Stralytic, bwm is what you want then
[08:07] <Seveas> it's a commandline app that just shows line rates
[08:08] <crdlb> AnRkey: it looks like the easiest way to change it is indeed via gconf, run 'gconf-editor /apps/panel/objects', look in menu_bar_screen0 (if you use the menu bar), enable use_custom_icon and set custom_icon to the file you want
[08:08] <llragsll> there are tools to get the data rate...but wht abt the total transfered...like so-so gb's...
[08:08] <scrow213> Anyone at all? I cannot figure out why it won't work!
[08:08] <Stralytic> scrow213, it's flash
[08:09] <scrow213> Right, and I have flash installed, Flashblock disabled
[08:09] <AnRkey> crdlb, thanks, i just wanna take that tiny black arrow off the top of the icon
[08:09] <scrow213> And I tried the manual method that was linked.
[08:09] <scrow213> Still won't load properly
[08:09] <crdlb> AnRkey: that's not actually part of the icon
[08:09] <AnRkey> crdlb,  it would be perfect if it was not there
[08:10] <AnRkey> crdlb, i know, it's an overlayed icon
[08:10] <Seveas> llragsll, sudo iptables -L -v -n. That'll tell you the amount transfered since booting
[08:10] <scrow213> Is it Gnash that is not working properly?
[08:10] <Seveas> (I'm sure there are better ways of getting that info, but this one works too :))
[08:10]  * AnRkey scurries off to try crdlb's suggestion
[08:11] <Th0rz> i installed cgi irc on my server... but where is the conf files?
[08:11] <ApOgEE-> is it possible to select/highlight text in gnome-terminal using keyboard only?
[08:11] <ununk> hi for all
[08:11] <Th0rz> i installed via "apt-get"
[08:11] <Stralytic> llragsll, if you want to graph your usage over a month to make sure your isp is not ripping you off ... or similar... try cacti, with snmp installed on you linux box
[08:12] <scrow213> Well clearly I am failing at Ubuntu
[08:13] <glitsj16> scrow213: could be gnash, hard to tell ... did you test the official adobe flash plugin to compare both ?
[08:13] <bohemian_> ActionParsnip2: thank for the reply, my synaptics says i'm using 173 nvidia driver. how do i reconfigure  this config to use the driver properly?
[08:13] <Th0rz> someone?
[08:13] <AnRkey> crdlb, do you know where that extra little icon/arrow thingies conf is?
[08:13] <crdlb> ApOgEE-: not that I know of, but you can if you run screen inside of it
[08:13] <crdlb> AnRkey: hardcoded I'm sure :/
[08:14] <scrow213> I honestly don't know. Here is how it went after I installed Ubuntu
[08:14] <AnRkey> crdlb,  NO!!!! please don't say that
[08:14] <Milkeh> so can anybody possibly fix my openoffice?
[08:14] <AnRkey> bah
[08:14] <scrow213> Went to YouTube, Firefox said I need plugins. Installed all 3 options
[08:15] <scrow213> Nothing worked
[08:15] <AnRkey> Milkeh, what is it doing or not doing?
[08:15] <AnRkey> have u consulted the oracle? (google)
[08:15] <Milkeh> AnRkey, my whole interface is a silly symbol font, besides the document itself
[08:16] <glitsj16> scrow213: you shouldn't opt for all 3, things conflict that way .. what plugin is active at the moment in your firefox ?
[08:16] <rjb> hello all, I am new to all this and I just installed Ubuntu and have already messed sudo up some how when I try to do something that requires a su login I get an error saying I don't have permissions to do that
[08:16] <bohemian_> ActionParsnip2: here's my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d17ec6c86
[08:16] <bohemian_> ActionParsnip2: here's my Mxorg.conf which created based on Xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d35faa660
[08:16] <rjb> is there a config file I can edit to fix things
[08:17] <AnRkey> Milkeh, create a new user and log in to it. See if it's still borked, if it's not then it's a profile issue
[08:17] <bohemian_> Mxorg.conf is the xorg used by userful multiplier which i use to create multiseats in ubuntu
[08:17] <bohemian_> buy wasn't able to separate the 2 screens properly
[08:18] <rjb> I cannot even get into do the user configs
[08:18] <cooldduuudde> .mp4 files open with realplayer by default. what can i do to make it totem?
[08:18] <rjb> even tried to su in a bash terminal and it would not accept my password
[08:18] <rww> cooldduuudde: Right-click a .mp4 file, click Properties, then click Open With. You should be able to change it to Totem from there.
[08:18] <Milkeh> cooldduuudde, right click an .mp4 document, properties, Open With
[08:19] <cooldduuudde> got it
[08:19] <cooldduuudde> ok now the second thing. how 2 change filetype icons?
[08:20] <scrow213> How do I check to see which is active?
[08:20] <Stralytic> scrow213, go to about:plugins in your browser
[08:21] <cooldduuudde> i want .torrent files to have Vuze icon. how 2 do dat?
[08:21] <|HSO|SadiQ> how do I add a rule to unblock the port 27960 on both UDP and TCP
[08:22] <|HSO|SadiQ> !iptables
[08:22] <scrow213> about plugins? Where is that?
[08:22] <cooldduuudde> !icons
[08:22] <cooldduuudde> !change icons
[08:23] <rww> scrow213: type it into your address bar (the same place you'd usually type addresses of websites)
[08:23] <ApOgEE-> crdlb, thanks
[08:23] <glitsj16> scrow213: enter "about:plugins" in the urlbar, if you set about:config key plugin.expose_full_path to true you get the exact file system location of each installed plugin, handy if you want to test a few by renaming temporarily instead of removing things
[08:24] <scrow213> ok
[08:24] <scrow213> I have a lot
[08:24] <scrow213> You want the list of plugin names or the list of filenames?
[08:25] <glitsj16> scrow213: which ones are enabled for the swf and spl mime-types ?
[08:25] <scrow213> Umm
[08:25] <scrow213> I think I know what you are asking
[08:25] <scrow213> Shockwave Flash
[08:25] <cooldduuudde> i want .torrent files to have Vuze icon. how 2 do dat?
[08:26] <scrow213> Another one called Shockwave Flash
[08:26] <scrow213> lol
[08:26] <scrow213> And a third one called the same thing
[08:27] <glitsj16> scrow213: there you have it :) open the add-ons menu option, tat has a plugin section, and disable the redundant ones to test
[08:27] <scrow213> Ok
[08:27] <scrow213> So just disable any two of them
[08:28] <scrow213> And see if that does it?
[08:28] <glitsj16> scrow213: to test yes, if you're happy with one, i'd say remove the others from your system (the file location can help here)
[08:29] <foo> I have the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver activated, but apparently it's not "actively in use." What would I need to do to make it used?
[08:29] <scrow213> Nope
[08:29] <scrow213> I tried and one of them does exactly what it does now
[08:29] <scrow213> The other two do nothing at all if they are the only ones enabled
[08:30] <rww> foo: copy your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link to the past URL here.
[08:30] <foo> rww: thanks. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/xorg.conf
[08:31] <glitsj16> scrow213: i realize the official adobe plugin isn't open source, but personally i have no issues with it .. in other words, i'd keep that one ... if you enable only that one, does your issue still exists ?
[08:31] <foo> rww: ultimately trying to enable compiz, eg. visual effects = extra. I get this error: Desktop effects could not be enabled. thanks
[08:31] <rampageoberon> Hi,
[08:31] <rww> foo: That looks correct. Have you restarted the X server (either with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or restarting the computer or gdm) since installing fglrx?
[08:31] <scrow213> Like I said, one of them changes nothing. The other two don't load anything at all
[08:32] <rampageoberon> What exactly is the feature in the ubuntu bash shell that tells you what to install for a particular binary?
[08:32] <scrow213> So not one of them works right
[08:32] <xlevel1> hi, I can't get fglrx to work.  I can't enable it in restricted drivers manager (the gui just sits there...)
[08:32] <foo> rww: yes. hard reboot, restart twice, etc. Definitely something else, hmm.
[08:32] <scrow213> There is just one that does exactly what my computer already does
[08:32] <xlevel1> how can I do it from the command line?
[08:32] <rww> foo: What video card do you have?
[08:33] <rww> rampageoberon: It's the "command-not-found" package.
[08:33] <rww> !info command-not-found | rampageoberon
[08:33] <foo> rww: Radeon X800Pro PCIE
[08:33] <rampageoberon> thanks rww :)
[08:34] <Milkeh> what's the update command?
[08:34] <DJNomad> hi all
[08:34] <scrow213> ...
[08:34] <rww> foo: Okay, give me a sec to check some things.
[08:34] <foo> rww: I've gotten this to work in the past, not sure exactly what's up. I've been in fluxbox for a while and it seems like something broke, hmm.
[08:34] <foo> rww: no problem, thank you!
[08:35] <DJNomad> I mount my phone and i dont have permission to do anything with it
[08:35] <Iradieh__> If I want to TOTALLY remove xfce4 and every trace of it, what do I type then? I tried sudo apt-get autoremmove --purge xfce4 but the file size seemed smaller then when I installed
[08:35] <KazaLite> is it recommended to install firewall on desktop machine or not?
[08:35] <DJNomad> I very easily could of mounted it wrong
[08:35] <scrow213> I am totally lost on what to do
[08:36] <glitsj16> scrow213: to compound the issue ... youtube uses flash video (flv), so you'll need another plugin for those as well .. do you find something enabled for flv suffixes in your about:plugins page ?
[08:36] <DJNomad> sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd1 /media/usbdisk   I mounted using this
[08:36] <Malks> yoypo
[08:36] <Milkeh> how would I go about updating openoffice?
[08:37] <scrow213> Yeah
[08:37] <rww> foo: Okay. Can you pastebin your Xorg log? It should be in /var/log/ somewhere.
[08:37] <scrow213> I have Totem Web Browser Plugin 2.24.3 for that
[08:37] <rww> Milkeh: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:37] <Milkeh> 8.10
[08:37] <foo> rww: thanks. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/Xorg.0.log
[08:38] <glitsj16> scrow213: i would try removing all 3 shockwave flash related plugins you have now, install the flashplugin-nonfree through apt-get and try again from scratch, god knows what is left conflicting on your system right now
[08:38] <scrow213> Ok, one moment please
[08:38] <glitsj16> scrow213: no rush
[08:38] <xemacs> how can i switch from xubuntu to ubuntu?
[08:38] <Iradieh__> If I want to TOTALLY remove xfce4 and every trace of it, what do I type then? I tried sudo apt-get autoremmove --purge xfce4 but the file size seemed smaller then when I installed
[08:39] <scrow213> Wait
[08:39] <scrow213> No
[08:39] <rww> Milkeh: Ubuntu 8.10 ships with OpenOffice.org 2.4 because 3.0 came out too late for Ubuntu developers to test it. Since Ubuntu doesn't upgrade packages to new major versions after Ubuntu versions are released, OO.org 3.0 will not be released to intrepid-updates. For various reasons, it's also not in intrepid-backports. You can either wait until Jaunty, which will have OO.org 3, or use an...
[08:39] <rww> ...unofficial method like http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[08:39] <scrow213> When I did the nonfree it said that is what was already installed
[08:39] <scrow213> How can I remove all plugins/addons
[08:39] <scrow213> And just start all over
[08:39] <Milkeh> rww, alright, thank you very much
[08:39] <AnRkey> Milkeh, did you create a test account?
[08:40] <Nom-> Hi All.  Does anyone know if /etc/fstab.d/ works in Ubuntu Hardy ?
[08:40] <iandan> hi, I need an advice over a laptop, whether it works or not with Ubuntu
[08:40] <Milkeh> AnRkey, oh no I still need to do that :)
[08:40] <AnRkey> u don't have to log out even
[08:40] <AnRkey> just create the user and switch from the task bar tool
[08:40] <Milkeh> AnRkey, what if I just use the guest acc?
[08:40] <AnRkey> same idea
[08:40] <iandan> I'm planning to buy a HP Compaq 6730s, Intel Core 2 Duo T5870, ATI HD 3430 256MB
[08:40] <glitsj16> scrow213: open synaptic and run a see if you have those installed there, and completely remove them .. if that doesn't do it, let me know, we can try manual removal
[08:41] <Malks> Hey guys, I'm following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6722478 guide to get channel bots working on Ubuntu 8.10 (I have also started on Linux about 12 hours ago) can someone explain to me exactly what this line (sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/eggdrop -R) tells the server to do
[08:41] <iandan> do you think I'll have problems with the video chipset
[08:41] <iandan> ?
[08:41] <scrow213> Ok I have synaptic open
[08:42] <rww> foo: Looks like fglrx is being loaded, but it's complaining about DRI problems. Since Compiz needs DRI, this is likely what your problem is. What version of Ubuntu are you using, and are you using the version of fglrx in the Ubuntu repositories, or from ATI's website?
[08:42] <scrow213> What am I looking for now?
[08:42] <Iradieh__> How do I completly remove every trace of xfce4
[08:42] <Milkeh> AnRkey, guest account is working fine with it
[08:42] <Iradieh__> If I want to TOTALLY remove xfce4 and every trace of it, what do I type then? I tried sudo apt-get autoremmove --purge xfce4 but the file size seemed smaller then when I installed
[08:42] <Iradieh__> Or do I need to reinstall
[08:42] <glitsj16> scrow213: anything gnash related, and flashplugin-nonfree
[08:43] <AnRkey> hmm
[08:43] <rww> xemacs: install the ubuntu-desktop package
[08:43] <scrow213> How do I view what I have already installed?
[08:43] <rww> Iradieh__: what do you want to use instead of xfce? GNOME, KDE, etc...
[08:43] <AnRkey> Milkeh, do you mind losing any settings that u have stored for open office?
[08:43] <Iradieh__> rww: gnome
[08:43] <Nom-> Hmm... looks like fstab.d is a bleeding edge thing, or maybe not even in linux :(
[08:43] <Milkeh> AnRkey, not at all
[08:43] <glitsj16> scrow213: bottom-left, status
[08:43] <Iradieh__> rww: I just want ever trace of xfce4 gone, I got issues (mental) so I will probarly reinstall Debian if I cant remove every trace if ut
[08:43] <dec3164> hey guys
[08:44] <AnRkey> Milkeh, try this from the command line
[08:44] <AnRkey> rm ~/.openoffice.org* -Rf
[08:44] <scrow213> Ok, all I have under "installed" is:
[08:44] <scrow213> gnash
[08:44] <scrow213> gnash-common
[08:44] <AnRkey> copy and paste it before u do a / by mistake :)
[08:44] <foo> rww: hm, I see. /me looks at logs to try to find that. I see. I'm on intrepid. Not sure about fglrx version. Looks like xorg-driver-fglrx = 2:8.543-0ubuntu4.1 from dpkg -l |grep -i fglrx
[08:44] <scrow213> mozilla-plugin-gnash
[08:44] <iandan> anyone knows whether the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 will work with Ubuntu?
[08:44] <scrow213> Thats all
[08:44] <Iradieh__> AnRkey: me?
[08:44] <mick02> Folks, I was trying to do an update yesterday when I was told that I had to do a partial upgrade instead of just the normal update. When I tried to run it I got the following error in my /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log file http://pastebin.com/f6a608dbb
[08:44] <AnRkey> Iradieh__, no Milkeh
[08:45] <rww> Iradieh__: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome -> try the line under "remove xubuntu"
[08:45] <glitsj16> scrow213: the mozilla-plugin-gnash is the one you want to mark for complete removal
[08:45] <Milkeh> AnRkey, done done
[08:45] <AnRkey> iandan, check if it's black listed
[08:45] <Iradieh__> rww: I did
[08:45] <Iradieh__> rww: It didnt remove anything
[08:45] <iandan> Andelkrag, where?
[08:45] <iandan> AnRkey, where?
[08:45] <scrow213> ok
[08:45] <AnRkey> Milkeh, open OOo
[08:45] <AnRkey> iandan, one sec
[08:45] <dec3164> could someone help me with SSHing into a computer behind a router?
[08:46] <Milkeh> AnRkey, same deal
[08:46] <mick02> dec3164, have you forwarded the ports on the router?
[08:46] <foo> rww: if you'd like me to do anything, let me know. I know I've gotten this to work before, hmm.
[08:46] <illumin8> What is the best method for knowing if someone is connected to your machine in ubuntu?
[08:46] <glitsj16> scrow213: what was the third one you installed through firefox besides flashplugin-nonfree ? try to do a search on that in synaptic with the info from the about:plugins page in firefox
[08:46] <Ape> dec3164: You have to forward the port 22 to the target computer from your router
[08:46] <scrow213> Ok completely removed
[08:46] <rww> foo: Okay, so you're using the Ubuntu repository versions, your video card is supported by fglrx... so it's just DRI failing to initialize for some reason. Hmm.
[08:47] <dec3164> yeah, but i haven't been able to get it to work
[08:47] <AnRkey> Milkeh, did you have openoffice closed when u did the command?
[08:47] <foo> rww: trrying apt-get --reinstall --purge install xorg-driver-fglrx  ... not sure if it's going to work, but I'm not having much luck elseware :) /me restarts X
[08:47] <dec3164> i used the IP that the router recognizes the computer as, would that be rioght?
[08:47] <glitsj16> scrow213: ok, restart firefox to get those changes activated, and reinstall the flashplugin-nonfree as only one through synaptic
[08:48] <Milkeh> AnRkey, sure did
[08:48] <AnRkey> hmm
[08:48] <AnRkey> one sec
[08:48] <Nom-> Ugh... anyone have any suggestions on some way I could nicely add an NFS mount when a package is installed, and remove it when the package is removed ?
[08:48] <mick02> dec3164, what type of router have you got? Have you looked at the website www.portforward.com to make sure that you've forwarded the ports correctly? You also have to make sure that you have your ssh server running on the target machine
[08:49] <Nom-> I was hoping fstab.d was there, but looks like that's really, really new and doesn't work with 8.04 or 8.10
[08:49] <scrow213> Haha!
[08:49] <Michael-> Hi
[08:49] <glitsj16> scrow213: any improvement ?
[08:49] <StyleSheep> is it possible to activate headphones and disable the speakers on a laptop? i often work in the train and i don't want that if i pull out the headphones, that the sound goes over the speakers
[08:50] <scrow213> You, sir or ma'am, are my hero!
[08:50] <glitsj16> scrow213: lol, glad it's solved
[08:50] <Malks> When i'm trying to run my egg drop I type malcolm@linux:~$ /usr/lib/eggdrop -m ~/simple.conf
[08:50] <Malks> bash: /usr/lib/eggdrop: is a directory
[08:50] <foo> rww: hm, nothing. What bugs me is I still see: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system when I go to "hardware drivers"
[08:50] <scrow213> You and me both
[08:50] <Malks> what does the second line mean?
[08:50] <Michael-> I am using iPod touch chatting here,hahaha
[08:50] <scrow213> Thank you so very very much!!
[08:51] <computer_> how do i change my login screen's background image??
[08:51] <scrow213> I am glad someone knows something about computers
[08:51] <glitsj16> :) very welcome, enjoy the flashes
[08:51] <dec3164> dynex, and yeah, i read the section for my router on portforward, i'm just not sure i'm feeding it the right IP... it's the <IP_ADDRESS>, no?
[08:51] <Michael-> Too many people here
[08:51] <Michael-> Hahaha
[08:51] <scrow213> Farewell
[08:52] <mick02> dec3164, Each macinh on your LAN will have different IP addresses. You need to make sure that you are pointing port 22 to the right IP address
[08:52] <glitsj16> scrow213: see ya, keep well
[08:52] <rww> foo: Do you have a linux-restricted-modules package installed?
[08:52] <iandan> AnRkey, have you found something? I tried google but have found no results
[08:52] <AnRkey> iandan, no nothing yet
[08:53] <dec3164> yeah, the 101 is the one i want it to forward to... that's what the router recognizes it as...
[08:53] <mshkaji> hi computer_  you just go to the shutdown icon right click it ....u will see setup login screen...
[08:53] <rww> foo: Oh, you could also try some of the stuff on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Troubleshooting . It might help, I guess.
[08:53] <the_gamer> hi folks
[08:53] <iandan> AnRkey, :(
[08:53] <kraut> moin
[08:53] <mick02> dec3164, for example, if you have a webserver with IP address <IP_ADDRESS> and a SSH server on <IP_ADDRESS> you would need to get your router to forward all http requests on port 80 to <IP_ADDRESS> and all traffic requests to port 22 to IP <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:54] <AnRkey> iandan, u having the same issue as Milkeh ?
[08:54] <the_gamer> i need the video/x-pn-icm-plugin but i can't find it in the synaptics packet manager, could anybody tell me in what package it is or how to install it?
[08:54] <mick02> dec3164, can you ssh into the box when you're at home?
[08:54] <mick02> dec3164, i.e. so that your router doesn't need to forward the port
[08:54] <dec3164> mick02, if i plug the box directly into the wall, i have no problems
[08:54] <foo> rww: I do
[08:55] <Michael-> I think there are a lot of network manager here
[08:55] <Michael-> Am I right ?
[08:55] <iandan> AnRkey, No, I'm planning to buy a new laptop which has this video chipset and I'm not sure whether I cand find drivers for it or not
[08:55] <AnRkey> oh yes soz man got side tracked
[08:55] <iandan> on the ATI support page it does not exist
[08:55] <AnRkey> iandan, you need to find out if that product is blacklisted
[08:55] <iandan> ...and the retailer delivers the laptop FreeDos
[08:56] <AnRkey> try ubuntu+1 and ask the devs
[08:56] <AnRkey> #ubuntu+1
[08:56] <foo> rww: hm, I wonder, should I try to get the open source drivers working?
[08:56] <camjay> Hi guys, i have a question about installing ubuntu 8.10 32bit using UNETBOOTIN, I've installed it and selected unetbootin from the boot menu, but it gives me an error saying it cant find "GRLDR" on all drives. i imagine its looking for that grub-loader thing.
[08:56] <camjay> anybody know how i could fix that?
[08:56] <iandan> AnRkey, I'll try. Thanks for help
[08:56] <BiosElement> Question, How do I go about backing up my gnome panel settings? Because I want to see how I like removing one but I want a backup so I don't have to re-arrange the icons and such.
[08:56] <rww> foo: Compiz doesn't work with the open source drivers for most cards.
[08:56] <foo> rww: ah, darn, ok. let me check out that troubleshooting guide, I suppose, thanks!
[08:56] <AnRkey> iandan, ok no probs (btw, go for nvidia, it's always less trouble)
[08:57] <StyleSheep> is it possible to activate headphones and disable the speakers on a laptop? i often work in the train and i don't want that if i pull out the headphones, that the sound goes over the speakers
[08:57] <AnRkey> StyleSheep, yes it is
[08:57] <StyleSheep> how?
[08:57] <AnRkey> StyleSheep, one sec
[08:57] <mick02> dec3164, Where are you trying to access you home PC from? Are you in work? If so maybe the firewall that you're behind now doesn't allow traffic through port 22
[08:57] <StyleSheep> AnRkey, okay
[08:57] <Bert_2> Hi, I'd like to lower down the maximum volume of my ubuntu system or lock the volume in some way, is that possible ?
[08:57] <glitsj16> the_gamer: isn't that part of realplayer ? if so, websearch for medibuntu and how to enable that repository and install that
[08:57] <rww> foo: You could also try adding `Busid "PCI:5:0:0"' to your xorg.conf's Device section.
[08:57] <camjay> Could i have a second of somebodys time here? I just need help using UNETBOOTIN with ubuntu 8.10 ISO, using a hard drive install

[08:58] <Ethosser> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=986689&highlight=mssql
[08:58] <AnRkey> StyleSheep, double click speaker next to time > edit > prefs > enable everything > then go to options tab and it should be in there somewhere
[08:58] <Ethosser> anyone see any issues with that, or has tried it before?
[08:58] <rww> foo: and, if none of that helps, the people in #ati channel on this server might :)
[08:58] <the_gamer> glitsj16, i just googled and found that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3490653 there's someone with the same problem, but he doesn't ahve a solution, either
[08:58] <dec3164> mick02, my plugin is behind the campus firewall, and when behind it or vpn'd in, i have no problems connecting not through the router
[08:59] <camjay> Could i have a second of somebodys time here? I just need help using UNETBOOTIN with ubuntu 8.10 ISO, using a hard drive install

[08:59] <rww> Iradieh__: Sorry, I kinda abandoned you there. Did you figure out how to get xfce removed?
[08:59] <Iradieh__> rww: nah
[08:59] <Iradieh__> not other then
[08:59] <Iradieh__> apt-get autpremmove --purge xfce4
[08:59] <dec3164> mick02, my forwarding is set up: port 22, ip <IP_ADDRESS>, protocol: all, status: enabled
[08:59] <StyleSheep> AnRkey, thx, found it... i didnt notice that before, although it is so obvious...
[08:59] <Iradieh__> rww: Doing gnome install now
[08:59] <camjay> To anybody in this chatroom: How do i fix the "Error: Cannot find GRLDR on all drives. press ctl+alt+del to reboot." problem
[08:59] <Felicia> Hi, what's your problem?
[08:59] <Iradieh__> gonan give it  a try
[09:00] <Felicia> hi
[09:00] <Iradieh__> if it doesnt work out I will reisntall with xfce4 again
[09:00] <mick02> dec3164, Can you go to www.ping.eu and check to see if your current firewall is blocking traffic through port 22. You'll need to find your WAN IP address first, you can do this through something like www.ipchicken.com
[09:00] <camjay> sigh
[09:00] <Felicia> hi
[09:00] <AnRkey> Milkeh, You can wipe your entire profile's settings if you want (backup first and make sure to unhide files when u do) > try ctrl+alt+f2 > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop > rm ~/.* -Rf  > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:00] <AnRkey> Milkeh, if you are sure that it worked in a new profile that is
[09:01] <Milkeh> AnRkey, It's alright, I'll just use gedit for my assignment, I'll just work this out another day
[09:01] <foo> rww: fwiw, http://x03.ath.cx/temp/fglrxinfo.txt ... output of fglrxinfo, hm.
[09:01] <dec3164> well i know it can't, i'm behind the campus firewall... but i'm trying to access from behind the firewall as well
[09:01] <Milkeh> AnRkey, thanks for all your support
[09:01] <AnRkey> Milkeh, somehow your profile got it's openoffice settings borked it seems. You can search for config file locations just for OOo on google too if you like
[09:01] <glitsj16> the_gamer: don't have other clues on this one, hope someone chimes in
[09:01] <AnRkey> Milkeh, soz for not giving you a shweeter answer
[09:01] <Milkeh> AnRkey, it's fine, you've given me more support then anyone else has
[09:01] <AnRkey> Milkeh, just pay it forward bro

[09:02] <rww> foo: Looks like that person was having a similar problem to you; perhaps try that.
[09:02] <foo> rww: will do
[09:02] <AnRkey> Milkeh, always remember it's a gamble in this # cause someone that knows the answer to your question might not always be here. I sometimes come back after a few hours and try again.

[09:03] <camjay> ..hm??
[09:03] <camjay> How do i fix the "Error: Cannot find GRLDR on all drives. press ctl+alt+del to reboot." problem
[09:03] <camjay> ?
[09:03] <camjay> Im using UNETBOOTIN
[09:03] <camjay> and ubuntu i381 8.10
[09:04] <camjay> i386*
[09:04] <AlanJenkins> anyone know how I can connect to a wireless network in a tty with network manager?
[09:05] <foo> rww: gah, nope. /me tries to google
[09:05] <rww> camjay: Are you using one of the installation guides at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation ?
[09:05] <camjay> Yes
[09:05] <rww> camjay: which one?
[09:05] <camjay> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[09:06] <camjay> that one^
[09:06] <camjay> and i used the suggested program
[09:06] <camjay> "UNETBOOTIN"
[09:06] <camjay> it installs the bootloader to your HDD
[09:06] <camjay> and all that
[09:06] <akhil_> My package manager is not able to download files for ubuntu.com although i am connected. How to set it back to default settings?
[09:06] <camjay> so i can install ubuntu w/o removable media
[09:07] <dec3164> mick02, i suspect that it has something to do with the router's mac address... when i plugged it in, the campus network recognized it as windows, so perhaps it doesn't want to support port 22? or does that even make sense?
[09:07] <rww> camjay: Okay, I see. Have you considered using Wubi instead? It tends to be easier to set up than unetbootin
[09:08] <camjay> rww: well, i tried wubi, had problems with it aswell, and also i generally just dont like the fact that it uses its own filesystem
[09:08] <camjay> like
[09:08] <camjay> i want to use unetbootin so i can use a seperate partition
[09:08] <camjay> clean n clear
[09:08] <camjay> you know?
[09:08] <mick02> dec3164, Here goes nothing ... YOU ---> CAMPUS FIREWALL ---> ROUTER ---> SSH SERVER. First of all your CAMPUS FIREWALL has to have port 22 open to allow traffic to pass to your ROUTER. If your CAMPUS FIREWALL doesn't allow traffic on port 22 then the traffic will not even make it to your ROUTER hence no ssh request will be sent or received by your ROUTER. Does this make sense? Sorry about the caps I thought it might make it a bit easier to read!
[09:08] <camjay> wubi = hindered disk access performance
[09:08] <camjay> i want the perfect linux experience
[09:08] <camjay> hehe
[09:09] <rww> camjay: Yeah, I see what you mean. Hmm. If you have a USB drive you're not using, and your BIOS supports USB boot, unetbootin to USB tends to work very well.
[09:09] <camjay> i have a usb drive but its only 512mb
[09:09] <Nytrix>  why does my theme go away after i logout? it goes back to some other theme?
[09:09] <camjay> im pretty set on using the HDD install
[09:09] <camjay> i mean
[09:09] <camjay> i got to my boot screen
[09:09] <camjay> select unetbootin
[09:09] <camjay> then it says
[09:09] <Nytrix> i mean the task bar goes back to normal
[09:09] <camjay> "error cannot find grldr on all drives"
[09:09] <Milkeh> camjay, talk to me through private chat?
[09:09] <bulwynkl> ! flash 10
[09:10] <bulwynkl> ! flash
[09:10] <dec3164> mick02, i've SSH'd into this machine through this connection outlet before, no problem... so neither the campus network nor my computer is the problem... the only difference with this setup is the router...
[09:11] <rww> camjay: what does your current partition layout look like? is it just one Windows NTFS partition, or is it more complicated?
[09:12] <camjay> one NTFS
[09:12] <foo> rww: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/293012 , hmm, seems to be a bug.
[09:12] <camjay> about 78GB
[09:12] <camjay> 15GB free
[09:12] <camjay> for a new partition
[09:12] <camjay> i was gona put ubuntu on a new 15gb
[09:12] <mick02> dec3164, Sorry, I miss understood your problem. So is the router the only thing that's changed then? The Router isn't set up to allow MAC Address access only is it? Some routers will only allow connections from certain mac addresses
[09:12] <camjay> so
[09:12] <FloodBot1> camjay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:13] <dionysian> does a typical ubuntu livecd include the debs of installed packages?
[09:14] <Dr_willis> dionysian,  not that ive noticed.
[09:14] <dionysian> the /var/cache archives
[09:14] <Dr_willis> dionysian,  the alternative isntaller cd - i hear can be used as a 'upgrade' repositoruy - so that may have them.
[09:14] <dec3164> mick02, np, mm... wdym allow connections from certain mac addresses? the computer i try to connect with has been the same, if that's what you're getting at... do you think using a cloned mac address on the router would make any difference?
[09:15] <rww> foo: Have you tried https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/293012/comments/9 ?
[09:15] <dionysian> well, i'm trying to make a custom livecd

[09:15] <dionysian> so... i'm just wondering if i can delete the debs that were downloaded
[09:15] <dquestions> god damn i cant even install openss-server?
[09:15] <dquestions> hmm
[09:16] <dquestions> i went to my sources.list ... uncommented the multivers and univers lines
[09:16] <dquestions> now what?
[09:16] <Dr_willis> dionysian,  I normally set up a apt-cache server. :) so everything stays on there.   But not sure what you are doing exactly. so cant advice.

[09:17] <foo> rww: I actually just tried that, no luck.
[09:17] <dquestions> hmm how do i get it then
[09:17] <mick02> dec3164, I'm not sure to be honest, the MAC address may not even be the problem.
[09:17] <rww> dquestions: sudo apt-get install openssh-server. If that doesn't work, copy and paste the entire output you get from that command.

[09:21] <ikonia> dquestions: what is the ssh issue ?
[09:21] <mlbarnes> ikonia: yeah but for some reason it is not loading at boot
[09:21] <dquestions> yes, but the video card is flaky
[09:21] <ikonia> mlbarnes: does the init script start it manualy ?

[09:22] <RomD> I just discovered a nasty bug in hardy's network settings manager. if I disconnect my dsl modem by unchecking the pppoe connection's checkbox and check it again afterwards to reconnect the following happens:
[09:22] <RomD> the check is there for two seconds and disappears again, leaving me without internet connection. the only way to establish the connection is to click on the box and then on "close", before the check has a chance to remove itself.
[09:22] <RomD> took my a while to figure that out...
[09:22] <FloodBot1> RomD: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:35] <mlbarnes> bind9
[09:35] <ikonia> mlbarnes: what is the name of the init script
[09:36] <ikonia> mlbarnes: so you did "sudo update-rc.d bind9 start 20 2 stop 20"
[09:36] <illumin8> Hmm, is possible the repositiry for his version doesnt contain ssh?
[09:36] <mlbarnes> yeah tried that and I get the syntax error message again

[09:39] <mlbarnes> after the first 20?
[09:40] <illumin8> dquestion have you considered going with 8.04? or 8.10?
[09:40] <dquestions> i would rather do this...
[09:40] <dquestions> i can upgrade later..
[09:40] <illumin8> dquestions, there has to be an offsite ssh for 7.10
[09:40] <ikonia> mlbarnes: just wait

[09:40] <mlbarnes> ok
[09:40] <dquestions> kool thanks
[09:40] <dec3164> could someone help me with connecting to a remote printer?

[09:45] <mlbarnes> ikonia: did I miss the new command?
[09:45] <ikonia> mlbarnes: no
[09:45] <mlbarnes> ok
[09:45] <maco> BattleStarJesus: print one side, flip the piece of paper, print the other side?
[09:46] <ikonia> mlbarnes: as there is already a "profile" for named, you should just be able to do "sudo update-rc.d bind9 defaults"

[09:48] <bona-admin> how do you open gkedit as root?
[09:48] <camjay> yo guys
[09:48] <camjay> woot
[09:48] <camjay> im on ubuntu live cd right now
[09:48] <camjay> i got the unetbootin working
[09:48] <camjay> ONE PROBLEM STILL THOUGH
[09:48] <FloodBot1> camjay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:49] <camjay> I'm going to install ubuntu fully
[09:49] <camjay> but it doesnt list any partitions
[09:49] <ikonia> camjay: are you using raid
[09:49] <camjay> "Prepare Partitions" it says
[09:49] <camjay> no
[09:49] <camjay> my HDD is just one NTFS partition
[09:49] <ikonia> camjay: ok - so that will need to be resolved first
[09:49] <camjay> ok
[09:49] <ikonia> camjay: if there is no unallocaed space there may be no space to resize it
[09:50] <camjay> well
[09:50] <glitsj16> bona-admin: gksudo gedit
[09:50] <zoltron> anyone know how to adjust LCD brightness on a ThinkPad? the keys aren't working...
[09:50] <camjay> how can i create unallocated space ?
[09:50] <camjay> to create a new partition
[09:50] <camjay> that is
[09:50] <ikonia> camjay: please stop using enter for one word responses
[09:50] <bona-admin> thanks glitsj16
[09:50] <camjay> Okay. Sorry about that. just a habit.
[09:51] <ikonia> camjay:  you will have to look at a re-sizing tool if the ubuntu partitioner does not have space to resize it for you
[09:51] <Dr_willis> camjay,  use gparted to resize an existing parition.  th
[09:51] <ikonia> camjay: the partition tool maybe able to resize it if there is some unallocated space
[09:51] <Dr_willis> camjay,  if resizing a NTFS - i find the vista resize tools to be MUCH MUCH faster.
[09:51] <camjay> well
[09:51] <camjay> im Dualing ubuntu live cd and XP sp2
[09:51] <mlbarnes> ikonia: is this what I want? Example of a command for installing a system initialization-and-shutdown script:
[09:51] <camjay> not vista, so in xp sp2 what tools would i use?
[09:52] <mlbarnes> update-rc.d foobar start 45 S . start 31 0 6 .
[09:52] <ikonia> mlbarnes: yes
[09:52] <ikonia> camjay: thats not dual booting
[09:52] <ikonia> camjay: you don't dual boot a livecd
[09:52] <Dr_willis> camjay,  no idea. I rarely mexx with XP any more.  not sure it even has the tool. ask in #windows
[09:52] <ikonia> camjay: a livecd boots from it's self
[09:53] <camjay> well, its not a live "CD", its a live ISO
[09:53] <camjay> i guess i should have said that..
[09:53] <ikonia> camjay: where is the ISO stored ?
[09:53] <camjay> on my windows NTFS partition
[09:53] <camjay> I used unetbootin with Grub-loader
[09:53] <ikonia> camjay: thats why it can't resize it - that partition is in use
[09:55] <camjay> Alright, well i have no form of removable media
[09:55] <ikonia> camjay: you'll have to delete the windows partition then
[09:55] <ikonia> camjay: and / or buy some removable media
[09:56] <camjay> well i know theres programs such as partitionmagic
[09:56] <Dr_willis> ive seen 2gb thumbdrives for $5 on sale recently :) just the right size.
[09:56] <camjay> what about that?
[09:56] <illumin8> by defualt where does wget store downloads?
[09:56] <Dr_willis> illumin8,  where you ran the command from.
[09:56] <jimcooncat> Dr_willis: where? pm me if you like
[09:56] <Dr_willis> illumin8,  if you are in /home/user/Desktop     its tehre..
[09:56] <ikonia> camjay how can you run that
[09:57] <ikonia> camjay: that's not an ubuntu support issue, I'd check partition magic support for that
[09:57] <Dr_willis> jimcooncat Walmart.
[09:57] <dquestions> how do i upgrade from the command  line?
[09:57] <SingAlong> Hi all
[09:57] <illumin8> dquestions, wants to know how to upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10 from the command line.
[09:57] <jimcooncat> Dr_willis: Really! I hate going there. Need about 10 of 'em, I'll send my gf
[09:57] <dquestions> i'm using 7.10 right now anc cant install anything at all
[09:57] <dquestions> =-(
[09:58] <illumin8> Dr_willis, thanks
[09:58] <SingAlong> Is there any temporary mount file in ubuntu except fstab?
[09:58] <Dr_willis> jimcooncat  this was at xmas time.. they may be out by now. its ahrd to tell. :) the had a rack of proberly 500+ of the things at this store.
[09:58] <SingAlong> I want to reset the mount points of my partitions. something screwed up and my partitions dont mount
[09:59] <SingAlong> so is there any temporary mount file?
[09:59] <camjay> So if i am able to create new partitions, which filesystem will i want?
[09:59] <Dr_willis> SingAlong,  not in the way you are talking about.. If you want to mount them someplace else.. you can manually mnount them whever you want.
[09:59] <camjay> Will i want 3 partitions? One for linux swap and one for ext2?
[09:59] <camjay> (the other being windows ntfs)
[09:59] <Dr_willis> camjay,  how i normally do it (windows)(Linux)(swap)
[10:00] <camjay> How big does swap need to be?
[10:00] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: no I actually set the mount points by rightclicking and now I get an error "illegal characters in mount point"
[10:00] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: so none of my partitions mount
[10:00] <Dr_willis> SingAlong,  ive never heard of anyone ever getting that right click stuff to 'work' :) those settings as far as i know are not in the fstab. they are a per user setting.. so are in your gnome settings somewhere.
[10:01] <akventure> what is the proper way to use the +x command to help mask an ip on irc?
[10:01] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: how do I find that out?
[10:01] <Dr_willis> SingAlong,  most likely a space  in the mountpoint - from what i am imagining.
[10:01] <Dr_willis> SingAlong,  make a new user - see if they mount for him. would be a good test.
[10:01] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: the character it said was GD_DIR_SEPARATOR
[10:02] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: but anyway where can I reset those settings?
[10:02] <camjay> Hmm. I might have to use a floppy drive and use partition logic, argh
[10:02] <camjay> i wish there was a way i could partition the drive while im using it
[10:03] <camjay> the trouble is that i dont have a floppy drive, i'd have to go steal it from the other computer
[10:03] <camjay> after i copied the partition program on it from the other pc. Hmm. sigh. brb
[10:03] <Dr_willis> SingAlong,  hard core way would be to reset all the gnome settings by removing the .gnome* and .gconf* directories.. which is why i said to test with a new user first.. befor going that hardcore
[10:03] <dec3164> camjay, just use a live ubuntu disc with gparted
[10:04] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: oh ok
[10:04] <camjay> I would bro but i cant burn CD's
[10:05] <camjay> i have two cd burners, one fails to work anymore, the other: when i tried to burn the image to a CD-R it told me i had a bunk removable media, saying that the blank CD-R disk speeds didnt match up with the CD writers speeds
[10:05] <camjay> so i assume the media was incompatible with my other cd burner
[10:05] <dec3164> camjay, is your bios new enough to be able to boot from a flash drive?
[10:05] <camjay> doubtful
[10:05] <camjay> 4 yrs old
[10:05] <camjay> although i do have a flash drive
[10:05] <camjay> 512MB, but thatd enough to hold a partition boot program
[10:06] <camjay> Ah, ur a genius, hold on.
[10:06] <cooldduuudde> camjay, to test that you can check the boot menu wen the pen drive is inserted. if you see the drive in the menu, your bios supports it.
[10:06] <dec3164> camjay, if you can't set your bios to boot from US, it's a moot point...
[10:07] <dec3164> *USB
[10:07] <illumin8> could he resize the drive from inside wubi?
[10:07] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: nope doesnt work
[10:07] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: so is it dangerous to reset my gnome settings?
[10:08] <camjay> ok guys, i got the USB drive
[10:08] <camjay> its 512MB
[10:08] <camjay> plugging it in now
[10:08] <ikonia> that won't be big enough for a livecd
[10:08] <camjay> no i dont need it to be
[10:08] <camjay> i want to boot a partition program from it
[10:09] <ikonia> camjay: check your bios first
[10:09] <camjay> then i can create my partitions and re-run my grub loader unetbootin
[10:10] <koshari> camjay get the gparted live iso, the wheel is already invented
[10:10] <ikonia> camjay: check if you bios supports boot from USB first
[10:11] <cooldduuudde> ok guys i have a question. how 2 change filetype icons?
[10:11] <ikonia> cooldduuudde: it's managed through themes
[10:12] <cooldduuudde> so how do i do it?
[10:12] <ikonia> cooldduuudde: look at existing themes to see how icons are defined in the themes
[10:13] <cooldduuudde> ikonia ok i have ubuntu studio theme and that's all i know.
[10:14] <dec3164> cooldduuudde, icons are kept in /usr/share/icons
[10:14] <ikonia> cooldduuudde: look / download a theme and look at how the icons are defined in the thtme files

[10:19] <Dr_willis> !ask | lokesh
[10:19] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: it seems to be a HAL setting issue in gnome. as per the error msg
[10:19] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: googled :)
[10:19] <SingAlong> Dr_willis: but no solution
[10:19] <Dr_willis> SingAlong,  this is linux.. thers always a solution.. You could just mount the things manually.
[10:19] <lokesh> sir lenovo y500 seris keyboard&mous not working
[10:19] <Dr_willis> if you count a work around as a solution. :)
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> lokesh: let me websearch
[10:21] <NativeAngels> anyone know how you fix error #2002 on mysql
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> lokesh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902106
[10:21] <ikonia> NativeAngels: what ar eyou trying to do
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> lokesh: you need some extra boot options. Otherwise its fine.
[10:21] <lolipop> hello, when i type lsusb, i can see my thumbdrive, Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0951:1607 Kingston Technology , but how can i mount on it?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> lokesh: im suprised.  So hes going to burn a livecd and do a full install.
[10:22] <ActionParsnip1> lolipop: you will see the partition, is it ntfs formatted?
[10:22] <ikonia> illumin8: xubuntu should still have openssh server
[10:22] <NativeAngels> and in phpmyadmin getting error #2002
[10:23] <ikonia> NativeAngels: check if mysql is running - connnect on the command line and run a health check
[10:23] <illumin8> ikonia, right, but its 7.10 not supported anymore, so the repositories could be effected no?
[10:23] <ikonia> illumin8: 7.10 is still supported
[10:23] <lolipop> thanks ActionParsnip1
[10:23] <NativeAngels> how do i do that ikonia
[10:23] <ikonia> illumin8: it has a few months left
[10:23] <ikonia> NativeAngels: use the "mysql" command to login
[10:23] <ActionParsnip1> illumin8: its on the repos so as long as your system has the oficial repos (more than likely does) it can be installed with: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> lolipop: is it ntfs formatted?
[10:24] <dquestions> hi
