[17:07] <tuxboy666> will give it a shot but I actually tried the new drivers with same method on diff card and it worked
[17:07] <Uplink> oh so that what does the kernel do! i see :D
[17:07] <gorg_> tuxboy666: in /home/user/.mozilla/ i've only got firefox or extension folders
[17:07] <tuxboy666> seems to be my card hates the new drivers
[17:08] <tuxboy666> hmm odd, that's where my libflash.cso is
[17:08] <jrib> elec: meh, if you feel you need a new kernel version, install it.  It won't mess with anything, just keep the old one around
[17:08] <darklingduck_> Hello, I am still trying to learn Linux how do I install from a Tar.GZ?  I am running Ubuntu.
[17:08] <tuxboy666> have you used another user on your pc?
[17:08] <GNU_D> Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit from live cd, but the partitions are ntfs and the one that I need to resize can't be resized due an error, I tried to check it it fails, sata anyway, what to do ?
[17:08] <jrib> !kernel > elec (read the private message from ubottu)
[17:08] <tuxboy666> it might be in his folder too
[17:08] <jrib> elec: that tells you how to create a package etc..

[17:10] <Uplink> ok =[
[17:11] <gorg_> empt_: hi, with the kubuntu removal? just fine i think. but prior to the kubuntu removal i had the same flash issue as i do now
[17:11] <chalcedony> tuxboy666: i think there are a lot more people upgrading today than there ever were before
[17:11] <gorg_> empty_: look up :)

[17:12] <Yukai> Why is that?
[17:12] <bazhang_> el_tejedo1, for what purpose? could you clarify please
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> gluface,  with mondern machines - i doubt if it will be an issue or noticeable.

[17:49] <tech0007> rootyrooty: didnt get what we're looking for...run this on terminal 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0' then paste the output
[17:49] <Uplink> how come there are no viruses on linux?
[17:49] <Bl4ckcomb> there are viruses on linux
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: there are
[17:50] <tech0007> FunnyLookinHat: usually the 1st usb drive goes to /dev/sdb
[17:50] <Uplink> !virus
[17:50] <spideyman> yeah like 4 or something
[17:50] <Uplink> it says there arent on that article
[17:50] <rootyrooty> tech0007 Taggart-Transport:/media$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0           mount: mount point /media/floppy0 does not exist
[17:50] <tuxboy666> there are viruses, but they are hjarder to execute and hardly worthwhile to write for most instances
[17:50] <tuxboy666> :P
[17:50] <rootyrooty> tech0007 easy fix
[17:50] <Uplink> i see
[17:50] <tech0007> rootyrooty: 'sudo mkdir /media/floppy0'
[17:50] <Smith> my sound was working last night, but isnt now, what could be the problem
[17:50] <spideyman> there mostly written just to see if it can be done
[17:51] <spideyman> or testing purposes
[17:51] <Uplink> :O
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: its just due to the user model of linux, if you got a virus, the virus would only inherit the access rights of the logged in user. This restricts access greatly unless you are one of these retards who logs in as root
[17:51] <Uplink> lol ActionParsnip
[17:51] <tuxboy666> also you don't have a huge spyware known as the registry. All is done through individual config files in nix
[17:51] <tuxboy666> makes it harder for virus writers
[17:51] <rootyrooty> tech0007: i did that instantly after I pasted the error message   /embarrassed
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: seriously dude, people who log in as root deserve their systems to be compromised
[17:52] <johnnypea> pls what this one means: checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found
[17:52] <johnnypea> configure: error: could not find Python headers
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: they clearly dont understand systems
[17:52] <ccpb> !byzanz
[17:52] <tuxboy666> lol Windows users do all the time because Bill don't make things run as a user lolz
[17:52] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, lol... but what if the virus gains root access?
[17:52] <Uplink> lol tuxboy666
[17:52] <Bl4ckcomb> ActionParsnip, couldn't a virus force to get more rights if it attacks with a buffer overflow (hack) ?
[17:52] <rootyrooty> tech0007: It mounts and is read! Thanks all for the help:DDD
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: pain, like windows virus pain
[17:52] <Tucci> I can't seem to connect to a wireless network through WEP - the little bars fill up as though it connected, but it just asks me for a password again after a few minutes. Can anyone help?
[17:52] <osmosis_> can someone paste a working munin-update.log for me so I can see what its suppose to look like?
[17:53] <tech0007> Uplink: like a rootkit?
[17:53] <esteth> Is it dangerous to use gksudo in place of sudo for non-graphical commands?
[17:53] <Uplink> idk... idk how linux really works
[17:53] <tech0007> esteth: heard it messes your .ICEauthrity or whatever
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> Bl4ckcomb: only if the running app is ran as root, bufferoverflow a service running as root and you have root access. These are to be avoided by simply logging in s a user
[17:53] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu maintain two directories for desktop entry files:  /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ and /usr/share/applications/?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: in windows, the default user is an administrator
[17:54] <Zerika> hi..
[17:54] <Zerika> need some help
[17:54] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, but what if u dont have access to it? ive seen some privilege escalation virus
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: so all apps you run are run with admin rights, if a script or program is maliciously ran, i will be ran "by the user" and therefore have full access
[17:54] <Bl4ckcomb> ActionParsnip, aren't there always a few processes that run as root, even if you log in as a simple user?
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> Bl4ckcomb: very few, minimising them is key
[17:54] <Uplink> ohhhh!!!! thats why they say it INFECTS the file
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: exactly, so never log in as root or i'll set my flying monkeys on you
[17:55] <onisciente> does anyone know a program that changes default dns network config settings of the roaming mode?
[17:55] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, and how does linux protect root access stuff?
[17:55] <Ienorand> When I start hardy with my wifi killswitch on, I can't enable wireless and lshw claims it's network "UNCLAIMED", how can I "reclaim" it?
[17:56] <Bl4ckcomb> with users and groups Uplink
[17:56] <Bl4ckcomb> chmod / chown
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: passwords and hashing
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> as well as access rights
[17:56] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, so the root partition is protected how?
[17:56] <Bl4ckcomb> root partition is not same as root user ownage
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: well if you try and edit files as you, you are not allowed to save back, as root you can
[17:57] <Bl4ckcomb> root partition is just the partition that refers to / directory
[17:57] <pFrugal> anyone have pidgin-festival working?
[17:57] <Uplink> i dont get it
[17:57] <ieuan> I'm running xubuntu, and wondering how I can set a timer on gnome-screenshot like I can with ubuntu
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: you can only edit certain files using sudo cant you
[17:57] <Zerika> Can someone help me please?
[17:57] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, i can do whatever i want with sudo... rm -rf
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: you can view the files as user but try and save the changes and it will fail
[17:58] <Bl4ckcomb> just ask your question Zerika
[17:58] <bazhang_> Uplink, dont joke about that
[17:58] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, yea just like menu.lst
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: sudo gives you root acess for a single shot
[17:58] <promet> hola
[17:58] <Derander> Does the default php package include command line on ubuntu 8.04?
[17:58] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, oohhh!!! wow... i get it now ;D
[17:59] <Bl4ckcomb> php-client does Derander
[17:59] <promet> do any of you guys use avant window manager?
[17:59] <Derander> b14ckcomb: thank you
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: once the program ends, the root access dies too
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: its also for that app and only that app
[17:59] <Derander> b14ckcomb: is that in the default repos?
[17:59] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, but after i input the password then if i wanna use sudo again i dont need to provide password no more
[17:59] <Bl4ckcomb> yes Derander
[17:59] <Zerika> i'm having trouble booting in windows XP. It stared when ubuntu froze while trying to run World of warcraft with wine. everytime i choose to boot into w
[17:59] <Bl4ckcomb> Derander, use tab-completion
[17:59] <ieuan> I'm running xubuntu, and wondering how I can set a timer on gnome-screenshot like I can with ubuntu
[17:59] <theshadow> Alright I have ubuntu 8.04 a kensington USB bluetooth adaptor and a blackberry 8120. I've got the two to pair but anytime I try to connect I get "unable to connect" can any one give me a hand or point me in the right direction?
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: if you run firefox, instead of gksudo firefox. firefox is ran as useer and not root which gives protection
[18:00] <Zerika> it just restarts again
[18:00] <Bl4ckcomb> Derander, $ sudo apt-get install php [type tab tab]
[18:00] <Zerika> i can only boot into ubuntu
[18:00] <tech0007> Zerika: what happens when you try to boot xp...is wow on your xp partition?
[18:00] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, whats gksudo used for?
[18:00] <Zerika> it's on an external hd
[18:00] <promet> Zerika, you mean Windows restarts again?
[18:00] <Derander> b14ckcomb: yeah, did that - it tells me that there is no install candidate available because ti is only from another source
[18:00] <Zerika> yeah
[18:00] <Zerika> the pc
[18:00] <Tucci> I can't seem to connect to a wireless network through WEP - the little bars fill up as though it connected, but it just asks me for a password again after a few minutes. Can anyone help?
[18:00] <promet> But Grub does boot windows
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: the only one password thing is (imho) a poor choice in terminal / konsole and it remembers the password in the konsole session
[18:00] <Zerika> it just reboots and goes back to the boot menu
[18:00] <promet> it just won't boot to desktop?
[18:01] <promet> hmmmm

[18:01] <Bl4ckcomb> Derander, try php5-cli
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: but sudo is still needed to get root access
[18:01] <Zerika> i got to go, leave me an email please<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with any suggestions.
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: this is why there are few virii for linux
[18:01] <Derander> b14ckcomb: d'oh, that worked - thanks a bundle
[18:02] <Zababa> Hello, I need help with mp3 playback in Ubuntu 8.04. Yesterday I could play mp3 files in VLC player, but not today. Today I have installed and uninstalled some libraries when I tried installing sidplay2. But now MP3 is not playing. Totem movie player said I need codecs for MP3 but even when I installed them, it does not play.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Zababa: you got amarok?
[18:02] <Zababa> ActionParsnip: not that I know.
[18:02] <promet> Does anyone here use avant window manager?
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Zababa: amarok will offer to install mp3 decoders if one is not found
[18:03] <Zababa> ActionParsnip: so did Totem player, I think. It installed them, I saw it... but I still cannot play them.
[18:03] <promet> or "navigator" I should say...
[18:03] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, so how is the sudo password protected?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> Zababa: any messages when you try to play em?
[18:03] <bazhang_> !sudo | Uplink
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: its hashed and stored in a file in /etc someplace
[18:04] <bazhang_> Uplink, please read that
[18:04] <Bl4ckcomb> Uplink, in your passwd file your passwords are stored/hashed
[18:04] <fliptomato> ’╗┐ /msg ubottu etiquette
[18:04] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, and how come they cant be decrypted?
[18:04] <fliptomato> ’╗┐/msg ubottu etiquette
[18:04] <Bl4ckcomb> it's one-way encryption
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> bazhang_: he understands sudo / gksudo, he's curious of how it improves security
[18:04] <Bl4ckcomb> like MD5, SHA-1 ...
[18:04] <Uplink> oh!!! one way function
[18:04] <makahara> use john the ripper
[18:04] <Bl4ckcomb> so lossy decryption
[18:04] <Zababa> ActionParsnip: No, VLC does like playing (Timecode counting) but no sound comes out. Totem player does not start timecode count ... put its play button changes to Pause... like if it was playing.
[18:04] <bazhang_> ActionParsnip, how about chatting with him in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:05] <Uplink> makahara, lol
[18:05] <makahara> hi
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Uplink: it uses a large hash which would take millenia to decrypt using brute force
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> bazhang_: its ontopic, its about ubuntu. is that offtopic?
[18:05] <makahara> john can't descrypt hashed password
[18:05] <Zababa> ActionParsnip: ... but its play button changes to Pause... like if it was playing.
[18:05] <Bl4ckcomb> except if you have a quantum computer, which of course we all have
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Zababa: does the graphic eq moe?
[18:05] <makahara> but try all possible password,and try comparing
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> move*
[18:06] <nickrud> !ot | sudo internals and cracking passwords
[18:06] <Zababa> ActionParsnip: no does not.
[18:06] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, hmmm i gotta read more about hashing
[18:06] <bazhang_> ActionParsnip, it was a polite request; please heed it.
[18:06] <shadymike> I am having trouble with my keyboard.  It physically works.  I can login and use it with failsafe-terminal.

CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, CTRL-ALT-F1, etc does not work.
[18:06] <Uplink> ActionParsnip, ty for the help dude ;) i got to understand a lot of stuff doay
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> bazhang_: i understand, i felt it was ontopic. Uplink is going to research anyhoo so its done. was it not on topic though? why was I wrong? I want to conform to the rules as I like to help in here

[18:14] <seon> how to simulate an azerty keyboard on gnome
[18:15] <tuxboy666> hmm probably need the kernel driver
[18:15] <tuxboy666> you can't do ethernet
[18:15] <ccpb> ok
[18:16] <tuxboy666> the driver unfortunately is a module you compile in the kernel and is not so commonly needed. I'd try buying a router first
[18:16] <tuxboy666> save you many headaches, CarlFK
[18:17] <CarlFK> tuxboy666: oh, one of those little ap/gsm gizmos?
[18:17] <tuxboy666> well, it seems you'd be looking for a dsl router specifically, if you have no private lan IP now
[18:17] <BCM43> this channel is slow today
[18:18] <tuxboy666> because PPPoE or less commonly usb is the protocol

[18:28] <genii> ryanakca: No, the "x" part of the name there means for X server
[18:28] <genii> ryanakca: Use instead console-setup/console-tools
[18:29] <sharpe_uk> Zababa, the mp3 codec lives in libxine1-ffmpeg normally
[18:29] <offby1> I rebooted recently and now when I log in, the "tray" doesn't appear.  (I mean the horizontal strip along the top of my screen, that contains menus)
[18:29] <tech0007> Zababa: for multimedia codecs run this in terminal: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse   gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3
[18:29] <tuxboy666> ok guys now I see your position. Sorry for my impatience. I noticed when I was helping, I hardly noticed anyone but the person I was helping
[18:29] <sharpe_uk> at least thats the way I always get it (may be others)
[18:29] <offby1> what can I do to fix that?
[18:30] <tuxboy666> and thanks for tryibng to help
[18:30] <benzss> i have an unmounted ntfs external hdd, and i can't rename it. what's the problem there?

[18:30] <genii> bazhang_: Heh, you win ;)
[18:30] <bazhang_> genii, :)
[18:30] <iandouglas> hey all, question about upgrading -- I upgraded successfully last night from 7.04 to 7.10, then tried the 7.10 -> 804 upgrade using the "Update Manager" but it failed just before the "clean up" stage -- how do I manually run the upgrade program again, or get a list of what needs to be cleaned up?
[18:30] <offby1> bazhang_: how'd you know so fast that that was Turkish?_
[18:30] <tech0007> benzss: mount it then rename
[18:30] <Blue_Wolf> i need a vit of help , i cant log to ubuntu becoz i made they keyboard only hebrew , and my user name is english
[18:31] <offby1> iandouglas: I think I gave up and reformatted and installed from scratch :-|
[18:31] <JannoTT> Simple question: i made folder under root. But how to can i change its owner?
[18:31] <genii> offby1:  " t├╝rk├¦e "
[18:31] <ryanakca> genii: yes, but I have a specific/customized keyboard layout for X. I sadly don't have an equivalent / haven't created one for the terminal. Would you know of a way to convert it?
[18:31] <benzss> tech0007: 'The item could not be renamed' (mounted or unmounted)
[18:31] <offby1> genii: ?  I didn't understand that; it looked like garbage
[18:31] <genii> ryanakca: No, not offhand
[18:31] <puccio> hello,I'm using Hardy and I have problem with the dreaded iw3945 driver
[18:31] <offby1> ah, he said "Turkish" in Turkish :)
[18:32] <ryanakca> genii: thanks anyways :)
[18:32] <genii> offby1: Ah. Here it appears as something like "turkce"
[18:32] <bazhang_> puccio, what is the issue
[18:32] <iandouglas> offby1: yeah, I suppose that's one answer to it, but I don't really feel like reinstalling the entire OS and then having to remember which utilities I use etc
[18:32] <tech0007> benzss: how are you renaming it? gui? try it in terminal with 'mv'
[18:32] <Blue_Wolf> well anyone ?
[18:32] <offby1> genii: it does here, too, now that I've "rebooted" konsole's encoding :-|
[18:32] <genii> ryanakca: np
[18:32] <puccio> bazhang_, I was using the ipw3945 of the 2.6.22 kernel up to now, but it seems that recently network-manager don't not make me connect anymore.
[18:32] <offby1> (konsole forgets its encoding periodically)
[18:32] <offby1> iandouglas: I know.  It's a pain :-|
[18:32] <puccio> bazhang_, because indeed with the 2.6.24 series my wifi interface was not working at all in network manager
[18:32] <techgeek40> I have sound :>
[18:33] <Zababa> tech007: Well, that installed some other proprietary codecs... my problem actually is no playback at all. I can't even play ogg.
[18:33] <techgeek40> Now the only thing I need to do is mount my windows D: drive (where I have some photos and documents)
[18:33] <puccio> bazhang_, so my basic question is which configuration do I have to use to re-make it work, it would not be an issue to use an older kernel just that network manager does not work anymore....
[18:33] <bazhang_> puccio, what about from the terminal what does ifconfig show two entries or three
[18:33] <techgeek40> Is it possible to remap my "photos" and "documents" to my D: driver?

[18:34] <tech0007> Zababa: whats your media player?
[18:34] <Zababa> tech0007, VLC
[18:34] <puccio> bazhang_, iwconfing lists my network interface
[18:34] <Zababa> tech0007: but it does not play in Totem player or xmms2 either
[18:34] <puccio> bazhang_, the network-manager lists it too, but it does not list any essid in it
[18:35] <tech0007> Zababa: run the program in terminal and check for errors in the output.
[18:35] <techgeek40> Is it possible to remap my "photos" and "documents" to my D: driver?
[18:35] <bazhang_> puccio, let me get you a link
[18:35] <bazhang_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 puccio try this
[18:35] <Blue_Wolf> i need a vit of help , i cant log to ubuntu becoz i made they keyboard only hebrew , and my user name is english
[18:35] <techgeek40> Well, let me ask this: how do I mount my d: drive?
[18:35] <puccio> bazhang_, if I do iwlist eth1 scan on the terminal, it lists me the networks it find..
[18:36] <offby1> Blue_Wolf: you said that already
[18:36] <techgeek40> Tech0007: Thank you for that help - audio now works
[18:36] <Blue_Wolf> some how nobody answered :(
[18:36] <tech0007> techgeek40: what fs is your D: drive?
[18:36] <offby1> Blue_Wolf: probably nobody knows the answer.
[18:36] <offby1> _I_ certainly don't.
[18:36] <puccio> bazhang_, thanks. so back to 90's with no graphical network manager, that's it? :-)
[18:36] <Blue_Wolf> ok thankyou anyway
[18:36] <techgeek40> tech0007: ntfs (I don't use fat32)
[18:36] <nibsa1242b> How can I change how many old kernels are in my /boot ? There are 4 old ones in addition to the current kernel there right now, and there is only ~4MB of free space left.
[18:37] <bazhang_> puccio, well if its not working with network manager; just a suggestion :)
[18:37] <tech0007> techgeek40: hardy's in virtualbox right?
[18:37] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> yes, your disk space is the limiting factor
[18:37] <jatt> !wireless
[18:37] <offby1> nibsa1242b: I _think_ you can just remove the relevant packages using Synaptic or whatever package manager you like
[18:37] <techgeek40> tech007: yes it is -
[18:37] <puccio> bazhang_, ok... :-)
[18:37] <techgeek40> I even went to the settings and added that drive letter as share
[18:38] <nibsa1242b> amenado: so on the next kernel upgrade it'll remove the one of the old ones from /boot automatically?
[18:38] <_user_> hi
[18:38] <puccio> bazhang_, so can we say that if my iwlist eth1 scan shows networks around me, I can be confident to manually configure it properly or are there technical issues which could prevent it?
[18:38] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> update does not remove old kernels
[18:38] <tuxboy666> very interesting about my fglrx issue with my X1950 PRO. This guy had same issue and he said "I eventually found out that the AGP aperture size in the BIOS setup was set wrong. I tried the highest value (256 MB) and the lowest (32 MB). They both did not work. The value that did work was 128 MB."
[18:38] <puccio> bazhang_, like wap/wep whatever support
[18:38] <_user_> anyone here know how to get and install cedega? i've tried running warcraft3 with wine but i can't see anything ingame
[18:38] <tuxboy666> Worth a shot?
[18:38] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> upgrade* does not remove old kernels
[18:39] <kandinski> hi, I have recently upgraded rom 7.10 to 8.04 and now there is no sound on VLC and Movie Player (I do have it on mozilla and games) any idea on how to diagnose it?
[18:39] <nibsa1242b> amenado: then my /boot is going to fill up. Why doesn't it remove old kernels?
[18:39] <techgeek40> techgeek0007:  MY understanding of Virtual box is that it should behave just like if it were running on its own partition
[18:39] <bazhang_> puccio, well the network manager *should* work; but if it does not that is a nice workaround
[18:39] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> it was not designed to do such
[18:39] <jatt> In hoary see the following dmesg message:
[18:39] <jatt> Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.2
[18:39] <jatt> pan0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.
[18:39] <puccio> bazhang_, ok thanks
[18:39] <jatt>
[18:39] <tuxboy666> bbiab gonna try it because it is interesting
[18:39] <asmo[B]> I was wondering if ubuntu had issues with mounting NTFS partitions over a certain size... I've been having troubles trying to get my external drive to mount properly, it displays the drive but when I try to access it, it says that it was unable to mount...
[18:39] <jatt> do I need ndiswrapper to access the wireless network?
[18:40] <tech0007> techgeek40: you need to setup shared folders.
[18:40] <nibsa1242b> amenado: I know there is a file somewhere that says "keep this many old kernels" I've edited it in the past on my desktop
[18:40] <techgeek40> tech0007: I did that under settings -
[18:40] <guhnouille> techgeek40: did you get desktop additions?
[18:40] <thundarr> hey tech0007 how do I setup shared folders
[18:40] <Luxx16126> could anyone tell the "radeon x1900" price ?
[18:40] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> i dont remember where that is off hand
[18:41] <Uplink> ty bazhang_ :)
[18:41] <nibsa1242b> amenado: see now I have this error "update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-18-generic" its failing because my /boot is full
[18:41] <techgeek40> guhnouille: I left clicked on it - but not really seeing anything happen when I do that -
[18:41] <tech0007> thundarr: machine->settings->shared folders in virtualbox
[18:41] <Zababa> tech0007: xmms2 in command line says it plays the ogg file but I don't hear anything. (I checked aplay before, loudspeakers are working)
[18:41] <thundarr> tech0007 I just joined the chat....are you guys talking about trying to network ubuntu and windows
[18:41] <techgeek40> I figured a window should pop up asking what I want to install
[18:41] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> there is /etc/kernel-img.conf   but i dont see the number of kernels to be kept as a selection there
[18:41] <JannoTT> wtf is wrong with my firefox. :S Taking 200MiB's of ram ain't normal
[18:42] <tech0007> thundarr: nope, sharing folders b/w host XP and guest hardy
[18:42] <guhnouille> techgeek40: the option from the drop-down menu for desktop additions mounts the installer as a virtual optical drive
[18:42] <stodan> another time, another people awake: usb harddrive 250 gb, fresh ubuntu install works great (initrd with usb modules), after cp -a form old system, there is ~30sec delay before grub menu and ~5min delay after grub menu and before "Starting up", any ideas how to get rid of that? (fstab and menu.lst preserved, i am on that system right know - works ok after kernel starts loading)
[18:42] <theRealBall> firefox is a memhog
[18:42] <techgeek40> I'm running Windows Home Premium (2 gigs ram) with threee sata drives and two IDE drives
[18:42] <sudobash> JannoTT try swiftfox or opera
[18:42] <tech0007> thundarr: techgeek40: google has many solutions for your virtualbox questions
[18:42] <theRealBall> run opera in that case
[18:42] <guhnouille> techgeek40: it should start automatically installing desktop additions, you need it for shared folders IIRC
[18:43] <nibsa1242b> amenado: I'll go try to find out. It makes no sense to me that the old kernels aren't removed. There is no reason for me to have 5 kernels in my /boot
[18:43] <keri> hello
[18:43] <techgeek40> Okay - I did that' so let me reboot all the way-
[18:43] <techgeek40> BrB

[18:45] <sudobash> try ps aux and find firefox and kill the PID
[18:45] <bazhang_> keri, get adblock plus (a ff plugin for that)
[18:45] <sudobash> after download is done
[18:45] <keri> how do i get that
[18:45] <sudobash> search for it?
[18:45] <bazhang_> keri, via the mozilla addons page (from extensions)
[18:46] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> here is a link that has 100+ bootable systems..so not sure where you find an config file to just limit the number of kernels at /boot ..http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=143973
[18:46] <keri> i am new to this
[18:46] <bazhang_> keri, let me find you the link
[18:46] <keri> ty
[18:47] <bazhang_> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 keri
[18:47] <nibsa1242b> amenado: I'm not sure where it is anymore, but I know its out there. I'm pretty sure the default used to be 3ish. It used to be that when you updated the kernel it removed old versions, now it doesn't.
[18:47] <tusho> Hi. Is .htaccess disabled in ~user/public_html by default on apache2? If so, how can I enable it? Here's the error: /blahblah/.htaccess: Options not allowed here, referer: blahblah

[18:48] <keri> ok

[18:58] <theshadow> Alright. I need help. I'm tethering my blackberry to my laptop via bluetooth. I have them connected and talking. Where I need help is figuring out what I need to put in the PPP and Chat scripts to get it to communicate on a T-Mobile network. Any help is appreciated.
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> igghy76: what chip does it use?
[18:59] <jtm> I have been experiencing a strange problem. I am running Ubuntu 8.01 and I lose sound frequently forcing me to restart in order to get it back.

[18:59] <igghy76> ActionParsnip, i dunno, what can i do to know it? i installed it using the windows driver and ndiswrapper
[18:59] <genii> 8.01?
[19:00] <sudobash> no one cares...
[19:00] <branstrom_> Can I display progress on SCP transfers initiated from remote computers?
[19:00] <igghy76> 8.04
[19:00] <jtm> oh ok :)
[19:00] <Cigno> nibsa1242b, there is an easier way???
[19:00] <jtm> yes 8.04
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> igghy76: then there may be a native driver
[19:00] <Jack_Sparrow> sudobash We appreciate that.. but that type of discussion/conversation should be in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:00] <Mr_Bad_News> is there any particular package to search for encrytption
[19:00] <nibsa1242b> Cigno: there may be a gui frontend. I don't know. It works out very well for me. dvdslideshow is very powerful
[19:01] <igghy76> ActionParsnip, but i dunno what type of chip
[19:01] <Mr_Bad_News> i want to encrypt my whole hard drive
[19:01] <jtm> Mr_Bad_News: You ever try TrueCrypt?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> igghy76: let me websearch
[19:01] <Mr_Bad_News> no jtm im totally new to encryption
[19:01] <Cigno> nibsa1242b, thank you i try it
[19:02] <Mr_Bad_News> is it in the repos?
[19:02] <jtm> http://www.truecrypt.org/
[19:02] <jtm> I don't know.
[19:02] <igghy76> do you need the code that i give with lsusb?
[19:02] <jtm> I just know it's amazing.
[19:02] <tech0007> Mr_Bad_News: check this out http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/towards-a-moderately-paranoid-debian-laptop-setup--part-1-base-system
[19:02] <Luxx16126> what means mAh ???
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> igghy76: did you sudo ndiswrapper -m ?
[19:02] <Luxx16126> what means "mAh " ?
[19:02] <nibsa1242b> amenado: can you assist me with figuring out what I can rm in /boot to free up space?
[19:02] <Mr_Bad_News> thanks tech0007
[19:02] <igghy76> ActionParsnip, yep i did
[19:03] <Mr_Bad_News> jtm so truecrypt can encrypt the whole hard drive without having to make any new partitions?
[19:03] <igghy76> ~$ ndiswrapper -m
[19:03] <igghy76> module configuration already contains alias directive
[19:03] <ComputerHermit> hey I have a video card with an svideo out put and when I plug it into my TV it dont work any ides?
[19:03] <sudobash> so Mr_Bad_News... why did they get your pc anyways
[19:03] <jtm> I don't know about that, but I used to make an encrypted file to store all my files in when I mounted it.
[19:03] <sudobash> ?
[19:03] <nibsa1242b> amenado: I can't even start synaptic right now because of an error that says to run dpkg --configure -a .

[19:04] <LinuxMonkey> !ot
[19:04] <amenado> nibsa1242b-> or if you canboot on your current system, just find the oldest one you want to get rid of, or save it on another directory
[19:04] <jtm> Mr_Bad_News: Declining to give the password isn't the best move :)
[19:04] <sudobash> dude just nuke it
[19:04] <sudobash> Gutmann style
[19:04] <jtm> With truecrypt you can have two seperate passwords
[19:05] <igghy76> ActionParsnip, reading... plz wait
[19:05] <sudobash> nothing to read :)
[19:05] <nibsa1242b> amenado: I'm on the system now. Its bootable.

[19:06] <Mr_Bad_News> fun
[19:06] <Mr_Bad_News> sorry
[19:06] <jtm> Mr_Bad_News: The thing is with truecrypt you can give them one of the passwords, for example you can have one password to your stuff be like abc123 and another password for fake stuff (or whatever you wanna put on there) be cba321
[19:06] <IndyGunFreak> Mr_Bad_News: designing silencers is very bad though, that is a federal offense if i recall.
[19:06] <bhc> checking for GTK... configure: error: Byzanz requires Gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6.0 to compile.
[19:06] <bhc> what should i do ?
[19:06] <IndyGunFreak> bhc: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[19:07] <Mr_Bad_News> thanks jtm thats what im looking for
[19:07] <jtm> Mr_Bad_News: It's called I think like innershell and outershell. So you can give a password, and what's even best is that they cannot prove (there is no way to detect) if you are using the two password system.
[19:07] <bhc> i have done with apt-get install build-essential
[19:07] <bhc> do i need to reboot ?
[19:07] <IndyGunFreak> bhc: what are you compiling?
[19:07] <IndyGunFreak> bhc: you shouldn't need to.
[19:07] <jtm> So whatever you are trying to hide goes under one password and whatever you aren't trying to hide goes under another password.
[19:08] <jtm> but they cannot detect if you are using that two password system.
[19:08] <jtm> I recommend 50+ alphanumeric with symbols.
[19:08] <jtm> Then again I am sure it could be cracked by them...
[19:09] <bhc> http://people.freedesktop.org/~company/byzanz/byzanz-0.1.0.tar.gz
[19:09] <sudobash> yeap
[19:09] <sudobash> i am sure there have been rainbow table type procedures for getting password for basically anything
[19:10] <jtm> sudobash: Probably some super computer.
[19:10] <Spitfire> NICK Belgarath
[19:10] <sudobash> or it can be done if it hasnt been created yet...

[19:11] <Sun13> how do i put the ubuntu iso onto my usb hard disk drive so that it can boot from it at startup?
[19:11] <ompaul> jtm, you can be in more than one channel at a time
[19:11] <jtm> I know.
[19:11] <bazhang_> Sun13, burn it to disk first
[19:11] <poisonkiller> hi everybody
[19:11] <tuxboy666> ok I have figured out its just best to run fglrx without DRI. It has far less bugs for my card than the radeonhd driver and the open source ATI
[19:11] <jtm> I just don't know where else to ask this question.
[19:11] <jtm> Do they have a OSS or ALSA channel?
[19:11] <bazhang_> #alsa jtm
[19:11] <ompaul> !alsa
[19:11] <tuxboy666> I figured out how to make epsxe run respectably with that config
[19:12] <Sun13> bazhang_ then what?
[19:12] <poisonkiller> can i ask ubuntu related questions here? :P
[19:12] <bazhang_> Sun13, then set bios to boot from cd first
[19:12] <IndyGunFreak> poisonkiller: no, we only take questions about Gentoo here in #ubuntu
[19:12] <tuxboy666> I would hope so poisonkiller
[19:12] <ompaul> poisonkiller, yes if they are support based

[19:14] <tuxboy666> I have an actual usb drive. Worked out of the box
[19:14] <tuxboy666> is your module in the kernel

[19:16] <tuxboy666> could be a bug in your drivers/chipset and usually using ALSA can help
[19:17] <sudobash> ALSA rocks!
[19:17] <poisonkiller> what should i do if my sound is crackling, and switching to ALSA or OSS doesnt work?

[19:18] <PossibleBit> poisonkiller: try setting your pcm lower
[19:18] <sudobash> use digital if you are currently using analog
[19:18] <dimi3> I tried the 8.04 but I got failed to install grub? Is there any what to correct it or I have to reinstall and hope everything works...?
[19:18] <sudobash> optical cable
[19:18] <sudobash> might have to get a new sound card though
[19:18] <PossibleBit> had the same problem and turning down the PCM worked wonders
[19:18] <tuxboy666> the standard check cables and reinstall programs and drivers, I suppose. Even try bgooting Windoze and see if it happens
[19:18] <tuxboy666> if it happens then, then it's probably hardware
[19:18] <poisonkiller> PossibleBit: wait, ill try in a sec :P
[19:18] <sudobash> yeah it seems like i have seen that somewhere about PCM
[19:19] <techgeek40> Okay - I have done all the VirtualBox stuff - but still my D: drive and USB External hard drive are not showing up
[19:19] <bazhang_> !grub | dimi3
[19:19] <dbugger> I have a little problem. I'd be thankful if anyone could help me: I've upgraded to hardy and if I activate the ATI Hardware acceleration, the X show just a black screen. Can anyone give me a solution? Thank you!
[19:19] <poisonkiller> oh yay, lowering PCM did the trick! :D
[19:19] <sudobash> but i have seen windows optical work fine and ubuntu optical have some crackling in it so maybe it is the PCM?
[19:19] <PossibleBit> cool
[19:19] <tuxboy666> never had an issue with the PCM level. Would that just be a little bug with some drivers/cards?
[19:20] <dimi3> bazhang_: I didn't quite have windows before that.. it was debian.. and funny I could access all my previous things ;)
[19:20] <sudobash> maybe...
[19:20] <poisonkiller> PossibleBit: thanks
[19:20] <sudobash> or maybe it is the driver that the application is using...
[19:20] <PossibleBit> no problem
[19:20] <trevor_> Does anyone know about MySQL not working from inside a UserDIr?
[19:20] <sudobash> like you can tell XMMS and VLC what driver to use
[19:20] <tuxboy666> I make Amarok use ALSA
[19:20] <tuxboy666> a few apps work better on OSS
[19:21] <sudobash> yeah make everything use ALSA
[19:21] <sudobash> really?
[19:21] <sudobash> like which ones?
[19:21] <tuxboy666> Cedega hates ALSA but I dumped it long ago
[19:21] <tuxboy666> :P
[19:21] <sudobash> Cedega is dead my friend
[19:22] <jtm> OSS I am not completely sure. But I did absolutely nothing and my sound is working again. I didn't close anything, I did NOTHING.
[19:22] <tuxboy666> Cedega almost never works with ATI. However, wine can work pretty good
[19:22] <Toba> a few days ago I noticed that wireless networking no longer shows up as an option on the network icon in the task tray
[19:22] <sudobash> i watched Cedega take like 3 or 4 hours to install when i was a kid
[19:22] <Toba> even though all my other wireless devices work fine

The BIOS allows me to boot from it (kubuntu 8.04 dvd), but the drive does not show up at all when running an installed system (kubuntu 8.04 (/dev/scd0 doesn't exist), Vista SP1 (No Optical drives show up in device manager)). Any help is welcome.
[19:30] <Mr_Bad_News> on my dell i could run firefox, frostwire and amarok with no problems , on this laptop i cant run amarok with anything else running or it lags and freezes
[19:30] <Mr_Bad_News> ?
[19:30] <dimi3> find returned hd1, 0 - so on setup i should setup (hd0) right?
[19:30] <dimi3> or should I enter setup (hd1)
[19:31] <Telroth|Sleep> Mr_Bad_News, perhaps it's not the memory, or the memory is a slower speed on the laptop
[19:31] <wiz_works> Ienorand: in most cases wext works for many wifi interfaces.

[19:31] <obake-san> hey, im stuck using ip kvm to log into my machine, how can i get from the terminal line to the gnome windows?
[19:31] <Telroth|Sleep> Mr_Bad_News, you need to find out where the laptop is bottle-necking. If it's skipping/jittering, check if the processor is over-utilized.
[19:32] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: got any nice command to put in the terminal for me?
[19:32] <Mr_Bad_News> how Telroth|Sleep ?
[19:32] <clintchance> Guys.Is it safe to assume that if compiz will not work and only gives me a white screen that beryl will not work ether?
[19:32] <Telroth|Sleep> obake-san "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" i think
[19:32] <wiz_works> Ienorand: is this a USB wifi device or PCI?
[19:32] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: pci
[19:33] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: atheros
[19:33] <Telroth|Sleep> Mr_Bad_News, if you have a command line just type "top" while amarok is playing to view processes/cpu usage/ram useage (press 'q' to quit when done)
[19:33] <LinuxMonkey> !enter | Ienorand
[19:33] <wiz_works> Ienorand: atheros should work...   but are you using WPA encryption?
[19:33] <clintchance> lenorando, are you looking to get your atherose card working
[19:33] <Mr_Bad_News> well i've done that is definitely amarok
[19:34] <clintchance> sorry, lenorand^^
[19:34] <Ienorand> It already works, but I'm looking to make killswitch work...
[19:34] <joseluis> hola

[19:34] <Ienorand> Indeed
[19:34] <joseluis> no

[19:34] <clintchance> lenorand 5100?
[19:34] <Telroth|Sleep> if it's utilizing everything then there isn't much you can do... If its ram shrink the library (only load songs you're playing), and if it's cpu then i think you're outta luck :(

The BIOS allows me to boot from it (kubuntu 8.04 dvd), but the drive does not show up at all when running an installed system (kubuntu 8.04 (/dev/scd0 doesn't exist), Vista SP1 (No Optical drives show up in device manager)).

[19:37] <andrew__> Can anyone help me with installing my sound card driver? I've mentioned it several times on here and made a forum post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828754) but no one has yet to even acknowledge me.
[19:37] <wiz_works> Ienorand: did you try running iwconfig to see what it shows ?  sometimes in the nickname it gives a hint at what driver/version
[19:37] <nibsa1242b> jsn: does medibuntu have its own channel?
[19:37] <Ashex> how does one force install a 32-bit package on a 64-bit system?

[19:38] <Jack_Sparrow> jsn /join #alsa
[19:38] <nibsa1242b> Ashex: I think you have to install it into a 32bit chroot. beyond that, I can't help you
[19:38] <wiz_works> Ienorand: look in the info for ath0  do you see a field called "nickname"?
[19:38] <nibsa1242b> jsn: well they might be good to talk to for sound stuff

[19:39] <lejon> A question to a rather experienced linux user: In the /etc/passwd file, the last location on each row is the login shell right? Like "MyUser:x:1000:1000:A Name:/home/MyUser:/bin/bash"" The last :/bin/bash is the login shell right?
[19:39] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: Nickname:"" , no luck
[19:39] <jsn> Jack_Sparrow, sounds like a good idea, danke
[19:39] <wiz_works> Ienorand: for example: IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"wizworks.net"  Nickname:"zd1211"
[19:39] <andrew__> Anyone?
[19:39] <Ashex> you can compile it for 64-bit and install
[19:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jsn np
[19:39] <Ashex> but for some reason it never installs libbarry

[19:39] <clintchance> lenorand,mine just worked... Takes like 30 sec to come backonline though
[19:39] <heiko_> lejoin: yes it is

[19:39] <JannoTT> What program to use when i want to grab pick junk of hard drive space from ntfs drive? So win what is on it will still be working and no data is lost.
[19:39] <Ashex> yeah, chroot won't work for me I think
[19:39] <JannoTT> big*
[19:40] <Ashex> since I'm installing libraries
[19:40] <heiko_> lejon dont edit
[19:40] <ffm> .part
[19:40] <heiko_>  better u edit ur .profile
[19:40] <wiz_works> Ienorand: what do you see towards the bottom when you type lsmod?
[19:40] <clintchance> lenorand, what wifi system are you using? Madwifi or ndis?
[19:40] <heiko_> u can find it in ur home dir
[19:40] <Dada_> Hi there! Does anyone know a good, recent tutorial on how to install Ubuntu on Parallels for Mac? (I found one but it's from 2007, probably better if I get a more recent one.)
[19:40] <wiz_works> somewhere near PCI
[19:41] <lejon> heiko_, Why? Explain please ^^
[19:41] <Kumool> is ubuntu 8.04 ppc supported?

[19:41] <IndyGunFreak> clintchance: so your wireless worked out of the box w/ hardy?
[19:42] <clintchance> indygunfreak,havent upgraded yet. Im not up to it im in a trust zone here
[19:42] <Dada_> !parallels
[19:42] <wiz_works> Ienorand: type lsmod and then look for something near "pci"  should list the modules loaded for that card.
[19:42] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok
[19:42] <heiko_> dont change generated system files ... and nomly all changes in . profile ... this its only for this user
[19:42] <B_166-ER-X> anyone here managed to make xdtv work under gutsy ?
[19:42] <heiko_> which shell u need ?
[19:42] <wiz_works> also you can type dmesg when you toggle the wifi card...   and see what shows up.
[19:43] <unclemike> whats a crc error system haulted
[19:43] <wiz_works> Ienorand: also you can type dmesg when you toggle the wifi card...   and see what shows up.
[19:43] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: ath_pci               101024  0 , that is the thing for wireless I presume, nothing interesting towards bottom [fuse softcursor and stuff]

[19:43] <lejon> clintchance, GnomeArt
[19:43] <unclemike> gnome-look.org
[19:44] <LinuxMonkey> unclemike: we will need more information. i.e. what were you doing, were you got that message, etc...
[19:44] <clintchance> lejoin, thanks
[19:44] <wiz_works> Ienorand: toggle the wifi card again and then type dmesg.  It should output something pertaining to the card and give a clue as to what's going on./
[19:44] <unclemike> LinuxMonkey: i was booting the system
[19:44] <lejon> unclemike, a crc check is a check that checks if the file is damaged or altered since when it was created and if that fails, it probably means the file is damaged somehow
[19:45] <heiko_> u'll lock all users ?
[19:45] <lejon> heiko_, Yeah but mine and root
[19:45] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: ok, that would make me unable to connect again, untill reboot is done... anything else I should try whilst doing this reboot?
[19:45] <theshadow> Anyone have anyidea on how to debug a bluetooth ppp tethering issue? Can't figure out what should be in my PPP script or why what I do have is giving an error cause its only outputing "ERROR"

[19:45] <dimi3> I need some help configuring the boot.. I read the tutorial about it, and some article in ubuntu forums - but they didn't help

[19:46] <s0ullight> hello does anyone know a flv to 3gp converter?
[19:46] <wiz_works> Ienorand: type this: lsmod | grep ieee80211
[19:46] <lejon> You learn atleast that after using and repairing computers for like 8 years ^^
[19:46] <wiz_works> what does it say?
[19:46] <tuxboy666> I dropped ATI a line. Everyone with issues should :) Describe your issue in detail
[19:46] <dimi3> I have debian's grub on hd1,0 and when I do find /boot/grub/stage1 I get it. That means that if I use them in root (hd1,0) I'll still setup the debian grub, right? So I need to use ubuntu's on hd0,1, right?
[19:46] <tuxboy666> :)
[19:47] <Flannel> dimi3: stage1 is on your MBR (usually), it points to a stage 2 (which is the stuff in /boot/grub)
[19:47] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: as of now that outputs nil
[19:48] <theshadow> Anyone have anyidea on how to debug a bluetooth ppp tethering issue? Can't figure out what should be in my PPP script or why what I do have is giving an error cause its only outputing "ERROR"
[19:48] <unclemike> lejon: all i did was install the system then rebooted and got the crc error
[19:48] <wiz_works> Ienorand: if the drivers for the card are loaded, it SHOULD return something...   could it be that the atheros/madwifi drivers aren't loaded?
[19:48] <dimi3> Flannel: So what should I do - I want the ubuntu's grub cause I think it'll add the entries for the debian system.. or I'll add them manually later :) however I want the look and deel
[19:48] <lejon> unclemike, did you verify the cd before you installed and did you burn on the lowest speed possible?
[19:48] <_sourcemaker> how can i start a second x server session within a remote ssh connection?

[19:49] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: It works right now, so presumably they are [this is the computer I'm messing with, also used in chat]
[19:49] <lejon> heiko_, I could use z shell with ubuntu right?
[19:49] <_sourcemaker> tuxboy666: but I have already a open session local in kde.. can I start a second remote?

[19:50] <boris_> hello. my friend has plugged in 2 monitors, only 1 works. he is hoping for extended desktop. he has got ati radeon card with "radeon" driver
[19:50] <lejon> unclemike, that can damage important files, remember to ALWAYS when burning system disks to burn at the lowest speed possible to prevent damage to the files
[19:50] <clintchance> Is there a know problem with wifi and not being able to logout?

[19:51] <thundarr> any help would be greatly appreciated
[19:51] <unclemike> seems like ubuntu is the only distro i have trouble with....7.04 will install..710 and 8.04 wont install
[19:51] <guhnouille> thundarr: if you're running 8.04 then you can install it through enabling shared folders
[19:51] <guhnouille> once you've done that

[19:52] <dimas869> tuxboy666 do you use any translator?
[19:52] <thundarr> because I cannot see the shared folder in my windows systems now
[19:52] <tuxboy666> just babelfish for languages other than English/French

[19:54] <tuxboy666> ati if it supports it
[19:54] <Ashex> what's the easiest way to get all the codec info from a video?
[19:54] <tuxboy666> the ATI is open source
[19:54] <Ienorand> ’╗┐wiz_works: okies, np, cheers for a nice try, I'm gonna bother the forums next...
[19:55] <Flannel> dimi3: When you installed Ubuntu, did you set up a separate /boot partition?
[19:55] <wiz_works> I edited etc/motd and put my own custom message in, but when i reboot the box, the default Ubuntu motd message is displayed again.  Why?  what am I doing wrong?

[19:56] <tuxboy666> Firefox 3 is said to still have some bugs, lemme check
[19:56] <guhnouille> thundarr: also once you've done that you need to configure smb.conf
[19:56] <dimi3> Flannel: I could pastie my fstab for example..?
[19:56] <Flannel> dimi3: Sure
[19:56] <thundarr> guhnoille I see what you are saying about sharing the folders
[19:56] <sharperguy> Scunizi, yes, but not recently
[19:56] <guhnouille> thundarr: do you want to share a public folder?
[19:56] <heiko_> lejon dont know ... im using only bash or ksh
[19:57] <lejon> heiko_, ill RTFM it ^^
[19:57] <Drk_Guy> Hi guys!
[19:57] <Drk_Guy> How can i open a port in the Firewall?
[19:57] <guhnouille> thundarr: you need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf after you've installed samba
[19:57] <Scunizi> sharperguy: and did you have some additional plugins in the older FF that carried across?
[19:57] <heiko_> :>
[19:57] <tuxboy666> sharperguy, I'm fine, try deleting the flash plugin with Firefox closed
[19:57] <dimi3> Flannel: I have it - the real problem is that I really use cd /boot not cd /mnt/grub..
[19:57] <thundarr> I have to load the smb config files first
[19:57] <tuxboy666> then let Firefox reinstall it
[19:57] <LtL> wiz_works: /etc/motd is a symlink, try /var/run/motd
[19:57] <thundarr> so what is the command to load the files
[19:57] <obake-san> ok, whats the command to create a partition from terminal?
[19:57] <dimi3> Flannel: but I dont have menu.lst
[19:57] <guhnouille> thundarr: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[19:57] <guhnouille> once you're in the file
[19:57] <wiz_works> LtL: I tried editing /var/run/motd directly, same result.
[19:57] <basy> sorry but in wich channel should i ask how to configure qchat (win) client?
[19:58] <thundarr> guhnoille yes I could share the public folder
[19:58] <wiz_works> LtL: as root too
[19:58] <Flannel> dimi3: What do you have inside of /boot/grub/ then?
[19:58] <sharperguy> Scunizi, tuxboy666, well I only installed plugins from the repos (and possible medibuntu)
[19:58] <soulchild> Hi all,... i can only hear sound with the root account,... how do i allow an other user do use sound ?
[19:58] <thundarr> guhnoille  I would not have a problem with sharing that or any files
[19:58] <soulchild> (I have no GUI)
[19:58] <tuxboy666> but my personal experience is Firefox <IP_ADDRESS> has alot of crash bugs and 3 runs great for me
[19:58] <LtL> wiz_works: hrm, i''ve fixed mine, can't recall how/where.
[19:58] <m_newton> !paste
[19:58] <Scunizi> sharperguy: what you might try after shutting down FF is "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.back" then restart FF.. and see if that does the trick.. if you have lots of bookmarks etc.. back them up before the copy
[19:58] <lejon> soulchild, give em the permission for it? Maybe have to have access to sound group?
[19:59] <Drk_Guy> How is it that Firestarter and my router say X port is open, but aMule says i have low id?
[19:59] <QUILz> wiz_works: In /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh there is a section related to the MOTD under: # Update motd
[19:59] <tuxboy666> that plugin failed for me for some reason in Firefox3, sharper guy. apt-get remove --purge it, che3ck the plugibns folder for traces, then let FF install it
[19:59] <sharperguy> Scunizi, ok, ill try it
[19:59] <LtL> wiz_works: iirc, maybe /etc/motd.tail or something
[19:59] <tuxboy666> see if that helps
[19:59] <Scunizi> sharperguy: fixed me up and made FF3.x faster too.
[19:59] <soulchild> lejon: how do i add a user in sound group ?
[19:59] <LtL> QUILz: nice one.

Also the title bar of metacity is getting really thin and some programs are segfaulting. I also see some icon corruption. Programs like xterm are working fine (no missing fonts). Any idea?

[20:02] <sigma_> is there a way to check what i'm missing...?
[20:02] <lejon> soulchild, No problem
[20:02] <bluk> Doug_-_-_-_: did you try to ssh into your winxp from itself?
[20:02] <dimi3> Flannel: so grub-install /dev/sda or /dev/sda1
[20:02] <NinoScript> Scunizi: maybe from cd is easier i think?
[20:02] <wiz_works> QUILz: thanks!  found it!  I think that will do the trick!  Lemme reboot and try it.  Thanks much!
[20:02] <Scunizi> NinoScript: that means you're not making a connection to where ever it's trying to go.. it might not be on the cd..
[20:02] <jterzol> dimi3: did something go wrong while updating kernel packages?
[20:02] <Flannel> dimi3: Did it create a menu.lst?
[20:03] <basy> i looking for some chat application on LAN (win and linux PC's) that is not connetced to internet....
[20:03] <Doug_-_-_-_> bluk,  sorry you lost me.
[20:03] <dimi3> jterzol: no - just plain install but in the mbr was already some debian grub...
[20:03] <tuxboy666> sharperguy, the plugins folder you want to check after the purge is /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/plugins
[20:03] <dimi3> Flannel: it didn't
[20:03] <Ultraputz> basy - run your own jabber server.
[20:03] <sharperguy> tuxboy666, yeah
[20:03] <jterzol> dimi3: ah. that's why. I thought about some other problems I've got.
[20:04] <dimi3> Flannel: update-grub gives No GRUB directory found. To create a t.... So I guess grub-install but I wonder about the options
[20:04] <minerale> I downloaded the eclipse-cdt package to do C development, but I have no idea how to use it/start it
[20:04] <tuxboy666> I hope personally open source flash works good one day
[20:04] <bluk> Doug_-_-_-_: before trying to ssh from linux, try from win, just to make sure it works here
 thanks , is there any tutorial?
[20:04] <sharperguy> Ok, I was trying to save my authenticated sessions as well, so I just deleted the files from the plugins folder, and it seems to be working ok so far
[20:04] <jterzol> dimi3: run the grub command
[20:04] <Doug_-_-_-_> bluk, it works from windows but not linux.
[20:04] <Bert_2> Hi, what is the command to create a rar archive and add one file to it with high compression (man isn't very clear) ?
[20:04] <dimi3> jterzol: I tried the howto about windows but my problem is somewhat different
[20:04] <dimi3> jterzol: i on the shell .. what to type there :)
[20:05] <Doug_-_-_-_> bluk,  i was able to access files i made on the linux . through the windows.
[20:05] <tuxboy666> yup, when Flash starts to hang way more than usual, deleting and reinstalling usually seems to fix
[20:05] <Ultraputz> basy - from there on out you're on your own. no idea.
[20:05] <jterzol> dimi3: I will get to you in a moment ;)
[20:05] <chazco> Anyone know how to generate a channels.conf?
[20:05] <tuxboy666> Adobe suck at coding :P
[20:05] <jterzol> dimi3: I've to look them up myself. but I know where to look :P
[20:05] <DanielRM> Does anyone know if you can use the Qemulator front-end to Qemu to boot from a USB device?
[20:05] <Ultraputz> basy - http://librenix.com/?inode=6294
[20:05] <akonkwa> Does anyone here know about Rails on 8.04?
[20:05] <tuxboy666> ..or crash, as the case may be
[20:05] <dimi3> jterzol: no problem - find /boot/grub/stage1 gives the debian hd1,0 ... everything about ubuntu should happen on hd0
[20:06] <Anscombe> Love how dl is 699mb and my CD to burn on is 700mb :P
[20:06] <akonkwa> I'm trying to "rake db:create", but it fails at each time
[20:06] <akonkwa> I'm trying to "rake db:create", but it fails at each time any help?
[20:06] <jterzol> dimi3: okay. you set the root already?
[20:06] <Flannel> dimi3: grub install is used to install stage1.  You need to install stage2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head-f60bd54bfea5b5afbbb8eab20586240d973cdde3
[20:06] <dbugger> (join #ubuntu-es
[20:06] <akonkwa> !ruby
[20:06] <tuxboy666> 699 MB is nothing these days. Check out Vista lolz
[20:06] <jterzol> dimi3: the root of where GRUB should look for its files
[20:06] <spideyman> Anscombe, you can actually overburn by like 20 or 30 megs
[20:07] <D3RGPS31> Looking for help setting up a graphics tablet, adesso z12 graphics tablet, with Wacom drivers (& wacom-tools), anyone able to assist me, or point me somewhere?
[20:07] <matthew_> okay I'm trying to erase everything and do a fresh install of ubuntu...can I wipe the the entire disk from the live cd?
[20:07] <legend2440> akonkwa: try channel    #rubyonrails
[20:07] <Flannel> matthew_: Aye.  And youcan also just install right overtop
[20:07] <matthew_> I mean, like, erase the whole computer windows and everything
[20:07] <tuxboy666> yes, you can matthew, but are you sure you need to go that far?
[20:07] <Lucky67> hello everybody!
[20:07] <jterzol> dimi3: root (hd0,0)
[20:07] <dimi3> Flannel: do you mean to do the root (hd0,1) setup (hd0)?
[20:07] <sharperguy> tuxboy666, meh, just deleting the plugins didnt seem to help, it only crashes sometimes strangely and other times it works
[20:08] <tuxboy666> one nice thing about nix is how reparable it is
[20:08] <jterzol> dimi3: setup (hd0)
[20:08] <dimi3> jterzol: I get cannot mount selected partion..
[20:08] <jterzol> dimi3: change (hd0,0) as appropiate
[20:08] <tuxboy666> hmmm what kind o0f driver do you use?
[20:08] <tuxboy666> for graphics
[20:08] <matthew_> tuxboy666 I don't really like vista at all...it came with my computer. I have an XP disk if I decide I want windows for any reason, but I'm not really interested in windows. I just want Hardy on my machine.
[20:08] <jterzol> dimi3: then try something different than (hd0,0)
[20:09] <dimi3> jterzol: the root partition of ubuntu should be sda1.. so that means hd0,1
[20:09] <DanielRM> matthew_:  just go on manual partitioning if you're using the LiveCD and delete every partition you see.
[20:09] <tuxboy666> Vista is what pushed me to full time on Linux matthew_ :P
[20:09] <jterzol> dimi3: do you have a separate /boot partition?
[20:09] <Lucky67> anybody here, who can help me with a real hard problem with apt-get (might also be a network problem)
[20:09] <spideyman> matthew_, thats how i made the move to nix windows pissed me off for the last time so i deleted everything so i had no choice but to learn
[20:09] <DanielRM> matthew_: then setup some partitions for Linux. Generally a / and a /home will do.
[20:09] <pierce> what is the recommended way of burning a 700 meg avi file onto a dvd playable in a dvd player?
[20:10] <LimCore> Lucky67: just describe the problem;  also, if no help here, then try ubuntu forums
[20:10] <dimi3> jterzol: no, the boot folder is in the root partition
[20:10] <matthew_> danielRM: just to clarify...I run the partitioner from the live cd then restart and click "largest continuous free space"
[20:10] <ompaul> !dvd | pierce
[20:10] <jterzol> dimi3: root in GRUB means the partition where it will look for its files. It is not necessarily the root of your Linux install
[20:10] <D3RGPS31> is there a linux package that supports unsupported graphics tablets >.<
[20:10] <BoltClock> am i able to change how the calendar in my panel displays the first day of the week?
[20:10] <jterzol> dimi3: okay
[20:10] <tuxboy666> I dual boot XP still for the rare occasion I want to play a game that bad
[20:10] <tuxboy666> XP hasn't been booted for over a year
[20:10] <pub> bobstro
[20:10] <pierce> ompaul: I'm not playing or ripping, I'm burning a dvd
[20:10] <DanielRM> matthew_: no, that'll leave everything else you still have on, including Windows and... what, a borked Ubuntu? I assume you had a problem?
[20:11] <LimCore> tuxboy666: I booted my XP today.  Its quite good game console.
[20:11] <dimi3> jterzol: I could do another install of ubuntu - and pay more attention on the menus.. but I don't know what went wrong
[20:11] <matthew_> spideyman, that's what I'm going for right now
[20:11] <legend2440> pierce: in synaptic there is a package called   devede that is very good at authoring dvd's
[20:11] <jterzol> dimi3: hmm, sda1 is (hd0,0) by the way ;)
[20:11] <jterzol> dimi3: grub starts counting from 0
[20:11] <BoltClock> rephrasing: am i able to change which day my calendar displays as the first day of the week instead of sunday?
[20:11] <pierce> legend2440: awesome, thanks
[20:11] <dimi3> jterzol: I left the grub on hd0.. and / was the first partition there
[20:11] <tuxboy666> in the live CD if you're borked, you could do a mount /dev/hdax /your/directory
[20:11] <matthew_> danielrm, no real problem, it's just windows is a memory hog and it steals space on my hard drive.
[20:11] <tuxboy666> then you can even modify files that are borked
[20:11] <Alizeero> hello selk
[20:11] <spideyman> matthew_, sink or swim i always say
[20:11] <jterzol> dimi3: so try the following:
[20:12] <DanielRM> matthew_: then basically just start the LiveCD installer, get through to partitioning, and then choose manual partitioning.
[20:12] <matthew_> isn't there, like, a program that I can make a boot cd that wipes the drive?
[20:12] <dbugger> I have problems with to get the ATI hardware acceleration working in HArdy. Can someone help me please?
[20:12] <jterzol> dimi3: root (hd0,0)
[20:12] <DanielRM> matthew_: the Ultimate Boot CD has Darik's Boot and Nuke.
[20:12] <DanielRM> matthew_: which can erase the entire drive.
[20:12] <DanielRM> matthew_: but it's easier just to wipe the partitions.
[20:12] <tuxboy666> you might do a chown chgrp to avoid having to sudo everything
[20:12] <jterzol> dimi3: setup (hd0)
[20:13] <tuxboy666> safe to do that from live cd
[20:13] <dimi3> jterzol: I get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition...
[20:13] <matthew_> danielrm I just ran dban and it "ended with non-fatal errors" basically did nothing. Last time I deleted a hard disk I used window wiper or something I can't remember the name.
[20:13] <jterzol> dimi3: hmm, looks like something is wrong with your device mappings
[20:13] <DanielRM> matthew_: odd. If you're using a LiveCD then you could just do this:
[20:14] <Lucky67> I have a hard problem: I try "sudo apt-get update" and the download is stuck (I use de "archive.ubuntu.com"); last line is: "99% [2 Translation-de bzip2 0]"
[20:14] <DanielRM> matthew_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<hda/sda/whatever>
[20:14] <Lucky67> are the servers overlaoded?
[20:14] <jterzol> dimi3: try do use different variations of (hd0,0) and use tab completion to see if you can find any files
[20:14] <jterzol> s/do/to
[20:14] <tuxboy666> this very Hardy install was once aqn Edgy install I borked, but repaired with LiveCD
[20:14] <dimi3> jterzol: .. maybe when I try with hd1,0 I get the debian's one.. so I'll go for another installation of ubuntu and cross fingers :)
[20:14] <matthew_> danielrm, i'll be honest I don't know what that means. :P
[20:14] <dimi3> jterzol: if you're still here I'll write to you
[20:14] <Lucky67> If I try to "search best server" in synaptic, i get message: can't find any
[20:14] <jterzol> dimi3: okay. then I wish you good luck ;)
[20:14] <DanielRM> matthew_: it'll write 0s to the hard drive.
[20:15] <jterzol> dimi3: cya
[20:15] <elliotjhug> anyone know how to reneable the save tabs open feature in firefox if it's accidentally disabled with the checkbox?
[20:15] <matthew_> danielrm, am I just typing that into terminal?
[20:15] <kitche> elliotjhug: it's in the options in firefox
[20:15] <Lucky67> it is about version 7.10
[20:16] <elliotjhug> kitche: any idea where? - I couldn't find it
[20:16] <DanielRM> matthew_: as root, yes, but also make sure that you get the right thing for of. of will typically be /dev/hda or /dev/sda; the latter is more common for laptops, the former for desktops.
[20:16] <Iron> hi. Does anyone here use screenlets? i'm interested in a weather screenlet. Have some of them but they asked to provide a zip code but i can't provide one, because i'm not from US. Can anyone give any advice?
[20:16] <BoltClock> elliotjhug: edit > preferences > When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time
[20:16] <BoltClock> i think
[20:16] <matthew_> ok thanks for the advice guys, I'm off to experiment, everythings backed up already, so no worries
[20:16] <Oli````> Is it possible to make X interpret alt-letter combinations as modified characters (eg: e-acute, a-acute, etc)?
[20:16] <DanielRM> matthew_: OK. Good luck.
[20:16] <jterzol> Anyone familiar with the problem of disappearing fonts and segfaults etc. in Gnome?
[20:17] <elliotjhug> BoltClock: thanks a lot!

[20:19] <LtL> mehehool: me too.
[20:20] <ShiftyPowers> does anyone use a usbuirt here with lirc?
[20:20] <tuxboy666> how are drivers now for XP 64. They used to be more of a problem than for us. Just curious.
[20:20] <ShiftyPowers> i'm having hte worst time trying to figure this out
[20:20] <malv> anyone know how to fix qt fonts without installing kde?
[20:20] <malv> i am lacking proper hinting
[20:20] <tuxboy666> try reinstalling libQT maybe
[20:21] <mehehool> addchild could i get u to do me a favor
[20:21] <tuxboy666> not sure package name. Apt-cache search it
[20:21] <Dishivlatavish> Hi, my flash plugin stopped working after upgrading to ff3 in Hardy Heron x86_64. I followed this howto but to no avail http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=772490
[20:21] <addchild314> meh: depends...
[20:21] <kitche> malv: need to build a feature but ubuntu actually has that feature disabled due to patent reasons I guess
[20:22] <addchild314> tux: drivers are better in xp x64 than vista x64... that was a nightmare
[20:22] <xenomorph99> General question. I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows but also have Mandriva installed. I have some files saved on a FAT32 partition but they were put there when I was "in Ubuntu." Mandriva now has problems accessing those files. Is there an easy way of "not applying permissions" to files saved, just like it would be if I saved them from Windows?
[20:22] <tuxboy666> lol I only tried Vista on an x86 pc first before hating it(it ran ok but I hate it)'
[20:22] <mehehool> i need .inf file in 64 bit for my wireless card in linux could i get u to download a wireless driver and seperate the .inf for me and mail it to me
[20:22] <D3RGPS31> Is there a way to install mac drivers on linux?
[20:22] <kitche> D3RGPS31: no
[20:22] <Lucky67> I have a hard problem: I try "sudo apt-get update" and the download is stuck (I use de "archive.ubuntu.com"); last line is: "99% [2 Translation-de bzip2 0]"
[20:23] <addchild314> meh: what driver
[20:23] <Lucky67> Sometimes also bzip2 reports errors
[20:23] <mehehool> ill give you all neccessary instructions and websites
[20:23] <mehehool> belkin
[20:23] <Lucky67> I searched many forums, but I have no clue
[20:23] <Mr_Bad_News> flash player keeps causing firefox to freeze and/or lag
[20:23] <fsufitch> hey guys i have a problem. a friend of mine just bought an XPS M1330 and installed ubuntu 8.10 on it. it works great, but it looks like his wireless card (driver) doesnt have WEP support. it connects ok to networks w/o WEP. he doesnt remember what kind of card he picked for his laptop, and i don't know how to find it out to get the right driver. anyone know how to do it / if there is a generic driver for intel wireless cards
[20:23] <fsufitch>  (yes, it is intel)?
[20:23] <tuxboy666> I got a broadcom driver
[20:24] <fsufitch> right now his driver is "iwl3945" as networkmanager says it
[20:24] <ompaul> !wireless > fsufitch the bot can tell ya here
[20:24] <tuxboy666> but it's bad idea to seperate the inf. Other files get used after the inf gets read
[20:24] <fsufitch> !wireless
[20:24] <fsufitch> great, i'll try that
[20:24] <addchild314> fsu: the dell XPSs are shipping with the intel 4945 AGN card, which works with WEP under 8.04 out of the box for me
[20:25] <xenomorph99> ’╗┐General question. I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows but also have Mandriva installed. I have some files saved on a FAT32 partition but they were put there when I was "in Ubuntu." Mandriva now has problems accessing/deleting those files (permissions). Is there an easy way of "not applying permissions" to files saved, just like it would be if I saved them from Windows?
[20:25] <addchild314> it might not be 4945.. but its intels wireless n chip
[20:25] <xenon_> Anyone with a Sil 3114 controller and a Raid 0 working?
[20:25] <tuxboy666> make it accessable by using groups. The Linux group system should take care of it
[20:26] <xenomorph99> Make what accessible? The partition?
[20:26] <tuxboy666> like have your users for each Linux system in the same group
[20:26] <mehehool> addchild; you would hav to install the driver
[20:26] <tuxboy666> yes
[20:26] <pub> if my base OS is linux, can i dual boot linux/ xp ?
[20:27] <tuxboy666> yes
[20:27] <addchild314> meh: thats ok, just gimme the model, and an email addy
[20:27] <xenomorph99> Can't I just make it so anything I save to a particular partition doesn't have permissions applied?
[20:27] <tuxboy666> but you'll need to reinstall grub
[20:27] <Scunizi> pub yes. but you'll have to reinstall grub
[20:27] <mehehool> http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=F5D8073&aid=8341&scid=942
[20:27] <tuxboy666> Bill borks your bootloader, but it's easy to fix
[20:27] <pub> does that mean i lose everything i've done in linux
[20:27] <Scunizi> no
[20:27] <Scunizi> pub do you want to do that just to run games? if no games then use vmware server
[20:27] <QUILz> xenomorph99: FAT partitions don't support permissions. Do you have it mounted in Mandriva with the correct uid/gid set?
[20:28] <mehehool> addchild; theres the web address i need the second driver on the list
[20:28] <pub> Scunizi games
[20:28] <SpeCon> hello all, I installed ubuntu again and its been a long time ago that i used it. I'm connected with my lan cable to the internet. But i have a wireless router + USB flash disk to put into my computers usb to get online. With windows i don't have any troubles with it. But with ubuntu i cannot use my flash disk. Can somebody help me to install my internet?
[20:28] <tuxboy666> at least Ubuntu is nice enough to detect and list xp when it overwrites Bill's bootloader
[20:28] <addchild314> u need the 64 bit driver
[20:28] <Scunizi> pub.. then your stuck.. I'll research how to reinstall grub first
[20:28] <mehehool> my email is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:28] <ghostknife> Is there some way I can configure the sudo password save period? FOr instance, I use sudo, type my password. Type it again and it doesn't prompt me. Type it a few minutes later it prompts me again
[20:28] <xenomorph99> Well, that's what I thought (FAT has no permissions) but I have dumped some files to a FAT32 partition and, when I try to delete them from Mandriva, it says I don't have the right permissions
[20:28] <xenomorph99> But if I become root, I can
[20:28] <mehehool> I assume u know how to get the .inf file
[20:29] <Scunizi> ghostknife: yes but you'd be giving up lots of security.. not recommended.
[20:29] <tj13820> how do i install the Dynex wireless card driver (atheros) in ubuntu server?
[20:29] <tj13820> (non gui)
[20:29] <mehehool> addchild; yes
[20:29] <tj13820> i do not have internet access right now :-(
[20:29] <tuxboy666> is it  broadcom chipset?
[20:29] <tj13820> atheros
[20:29] <Scunizi> tj13820: install the restricted drivers for server.
[20:29] <xenomorph99> uid/gid set?
[20:29] <tj13820> how?
[20:29] <addchild314> meh; yeah
[20:29] <tuxboy666> ahhh forgot that's a chipset !wireless
[20:29] <Scunizi> tj13820: do yo have a gui at all?
[20:30] <xenomorph99> I want to get around that. I don't want to have to be a particular user to be able to manipulate these files
[20:30] <tuxboy666> the wiki should say which driver works for it
[20:30] <QUILz> xenomorph99: I mean uid or gid set in the partition's mount options
[20:30] <tj13820> Scunizi: no, no GUI, i'm trying to install the driver to get a connection to install Ubuntu desktop
[20:30] <tuxboy666> !wireless
[20:30] <mehehool> addchild; thank you
[20:30] <dvheumen> hi, can someone explain to me why the kernel config files of ubuntu kernels have sound disabled (and sometimes other deviating settings)?
[20:30] <Scunizi> tj13820: give me a sec.. and I should be able to give you the command.. hopefully it'll be on the cd.
[20:30] <sothe> Hello, i have some trubble to install Steam(counter-strike1.6) anyone who can help me with it, pleace PM me.
[20:30] <addchild314> lemme boot into xp... bb in 30 or less
[20:30] <xenomorph99> I dunno. I don't have the partitions set up in fstab. I normally 'mount them on demand' via the places->remote places system
[20:30] <tuxboy666> it gives the pros and cons of each driver, as well, if multiple drivers work
[20:30] <K^Holtz> some web pages arent displaying properly even though i have java and flash installed. For example: http://www.mitsucars.com/MMNA/jsp/evo/08/index.do?loc=en-us . Can someone help me get this working?
[20:30] <tj13820> Scunizi: thank you for looking into it.
[20:31] <Doug_-_-_-_> is there a way i can use remote desktop viewer in hardy to connect to a xp box?
