[16:21] <hadouken> panfist: edit grub.conf (menu.lst) manually?
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> panfist  I dont think copying /boot to sda3 when fdisk shows sda3 as ntfs is such a good idea
[16:21] <alraune> mefi:open a terminal (apps>system/terminal or console)
[16:21] <hadouken> or run grub-config ?
[16:21] <TuniX12> how can i list all factoid?
[16:21] <panfist> hadouken there is no grub.conf, menu.lst because grub has never been installed yet

[16:22] <hadouken> panfist: how are you getting grub errors then? while trying to config it?
[16:23] <hadouken> mefi: what time did it happen?
[16:23] <skurakai> no one who use same profil on Firefox?
[16:23] <panfist> hadouken yes...i was using the regular installer which at 97% said "grub has failed to install. fatal error" and put me pack at the live cd desktop. i tried again, this time at the very last step going into "advanced" dialog and unchecking "install grub." so the installation is all done except for grub, which im trying to install now

[16:25] <panfist> hadouken when i googled my error messages i found this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504678 which then led me to the conclusion that the find command in my grub shell does not work for anything and something is really screwy

[16:28] <panfist> hadouken yes, every howto i have tried is broken for me. something is seriously broken when running grub from the live cd, because i can't "grub> find" anything. every howto starts by saying "find this" or "find that" and goes from there, which for me always returns file not found

[16:30] <St_Lemur> Hi, I've got kind of a laundry list of problems. Running 8.04. First problem: my swap partition, /dev/sdb5, doesn't get automounted on startup, I have to do it manually.
[16:31] <hadouken> panfist: if i was you, i would mount your new install to a folder, chroot into that environment then run grub-install from inside that
[16:31] <hadouken> panfist: the gentoo install guide tells you how to do it
[16:31] <mefi> itä's coming :P
[16:32] <panfist> hadouken what exactly should i set chroot to? the the mount point of the new install?
[16:32] <panfist> hadouken im reading the gentoo guide but its over my head
[16:32] <\kG> anyone ever tried to use an "IronKey" flash drive on ubuntu?

[16:33] <mefi> hadouken: I can't disable my screensaver---
[16:33] <mefi> hadouken: the window froze
[16:34] <panfist> hadouken in that howto they give two arguments to chroot...i dont understand what the second argument, /bin/bash means or what it does or if i need to do it
[16:34] <Dallas> ok thanks
[16:34] <hadouken> mefi: maybe thats the problem
[16:34] <hadouken> mefi: your screensaver.. it kicks in then craps your comp out, was your machine idle when it shut down?
[16:34] <alraune> mefi: the line : /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=dcb0da14-5738-494c-8cdb-4b7d5a158798 ro quiet vga=771 splash  , see it ?
[16:34] <mefi> hadouken: I'd say so.. no it wasnt, so that is still weird..
[16:35] <hadouken> panfist: tahts the shell to use within the new environment, leave it as /bin/bash
[16:35] <mefi> alraune: checking
[16:35] <mefi> alraune: yes
[16:35] <alraune> mefi: in gedit  ,delete the words quiet  and splash from that line
[16:35] <hadouken> mefi: in the log you pasted, the machine rebooted once with "signal 15", do some searching on that... best think you can really do is carry on as normal, wait til it happens again then grab the log file STRAIGHT away
[16:36] <mefi> alraune: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=dcb0da14-5738-494c-8cdb-4b7d5a158798 ro vga=771
[16:36] <mefi> hadouken: ok
[16:36] <alraune> mefi: yop, save the file, exit gedit
[16:36] <mefi> hadouken: still my screensaver-.window is frozen.. what do I do
[16:36] <mefi> alraune: done
[16:37] <hadouken> mefi: i also saw that signal 15 can be a hardware problem, you could also boot into Ultimate Boot CD and run some tests (specifically memory tests)
[16:37] <alraune> in terminal : sudo apt-get install firestarter
[16:37] <mefi> hadouken: what is ultimatr boot cd?
[16:37] <alraune> mefi : in terminal : sudo apt-get install firestarter
[16:38] <panfist> hadouken i think i screwed up chrooting because now anything i keep getting command not found...
[16:38] <hadouken> mefi: its a cd containing a load of testing utils for your comp, tests your RAM, hard drive, cpu etc... that will tell you if your comp could be failing
[16:38] <panfist> hadouken nevermind i can just close the terminal and try again...
[16:38] <hadouken> mefi: google for it and you can download the ISO, then boot from it, run MemTest+, MHDD, and something for CPI
[16:38] <alraune> mefi : in terminal : sudo apt-get update , then sudo-apt-get upgrade,   then apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

[16:39] <mefi> alraune: some indexfiles could not be found.. does it matter?
[16:40] <alraune> mefi : what says an uname -a ?
[16:40] <TuniX12> blabber it seems that your pc has small RAM
[16:40] <hadouken> panfist, follow all of the gentoo instructions on setting up the environment, first error is caused by invalid /etc/hosts file (guide should explain)
[16:40] <alraune> mefi : pastebin ur /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:41] <blabber> nope, it has 1 GB
[16:41] <blabber> the installer doesn't freeze, but it just doesn't go forward..
[16:41] <panfist> hadouken ok thanks
[16:41] <mefi> alraune: umm last one didnt work
[16:41] <hadouken> i wonder what the policy is on SSHing into peoples boxes and helping is in here

[16:45] <mefi> alraune: aha is it? sorry
[16:45] <panfist> hadouken then i would have to forward some ports right? are you even allowed to ssh into the live cd?
[16:45] <blabber> any ideas?
[16:45] <hadouken> panfist, port 22, set a password on the livecd

[16:47] <BUTTSECHS> Following question: I have those media-buttons on my keyboard, like increase and decrease volume, but if I use them, they change the master volume, but I want them to change the PCM volume instead. Somehow possible to set the buttons that way?
[16:47] <olleorama> same problem on my GFs box
[16:48] <TSchultz55> hey all.....upgrade to Hardy seems to be just chilling on "Configuring locales" for a while now...........is this normal?
[16:48] <IndyGunFreak> olleorama: is that the only sound that comes out scratchy like tha?(flash video sounsd ok?)
[16:48] <TuniX12> pallu you should install it under terminalk
[16:48] <visik7> seems an alsa issue

[16:48] <hadouken> mefi: open kill -9 <PID OF SCREENSAVER WINDOW>
[16:48] <IndyGunFreak> pallu: the instructions to install it are right on their site..... click instructions.. you have to chmod the file then run it
[16:48] <TuniX12> pall cd to real path  than ./realplayer11GOLD.bin
[16:49] <mefi> alraune: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28746/
[16:49] <Jack_Sparrow> bastid_raZor  I will read up on that other tutorial and see if it applies and I can increase the res
[16:49] <TuniX12> or sudo ./realplayer11GOLD.bin to install in system path

[16:49] <olleorama> Ondygunfreak: flash works, and avi
[16:49] <bastid_raZor> Jack_Sparrow; okay, i used 24bit and 1280x1024.. rebooting now.
[16:49] <olleorama> Indy
[16:50] <IndyGunFreak> olleorama: i have no logical explanation for your problems, are you sure its not the quality of the files?
[16:50] <hadouken> mefi: open terminal, type "ps aux", find the line that looks like a screensaver prgram (gnome-screensaver etc), get its PID from PID column
[16:50] <alraune> mefi : looks good, close gedit, terminal :sudo apt-get upgrade

[16:50] <LhiQuer> aaah... i can remember when i used to use dapper drake
[16:50] <olleorama> IndyGunfreak; maybe if all my files are bad, and my girlfriends too
[16:50] <fwaokda> I have a drive thats not really a drive that keeps getting mounted.  How can I get rid of it?
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer Ah.. Dapper, that was a good release
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer Badger was a bit rough
[16:51] <LhiQuer> Jack_Sparrow, didnt it have a lot of backend improvements?
[16:51] <olleorama> IndyGunfreak; could be different with OSS instead of ALSA?
[16:51] <IndyGunFreak> olleorama: could be, but it would likely be worse w/ OSS as opposed to Alsa.
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer did that tutorial work for you
[16:51] <amenado> fwaokda-> a drive that is not a drive? when you type in terminal mount, what do you get?
[16:52] <LhiQuer> Jack_Sparrow, yeah
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Great..
[16:52] <visik7> olleorama: you could try using the oss proprietary drivers
[16:52] <jazzkutya> damn this gnome things just ruins everything
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer I should post that somewhere for others
[16:52] <killaz> guys I updated my systen yesterday to a new kernel using the update manager...
[16:52] <LhiQuer> yeah
[16:52] <jazzkutya> what a shame one can not configure a music player to use a specific soundcard
[16:52] <mefi> alraune: done
[16:52] <alraune> mefi : did you install any additional soft, as not from the ubu-repos (e.g.hardwaredrivers, updates directly from appps?)
[16:52] <fwaokda> amenado, one second i'll post it in pastebin.
[16:52] <killaz> after that I have problems gettin back the nvidia drivers back
[16:52] <IndyGunFreak> jazzkutya: what makes you think you cant?
[16:53] <mefi> hadouken: could not get a file descriptor referring to the console
[16:53] <fwaokda> amenado, http://pastebin.com/m717312b2
[16:53] <killaz> how can I get the nvidia drivers back in the Hardware drivers tool?
[16:53] <TSchultz55> hey all.....upgrade to Hardy seems to be just chilling on "Configuring locales" for a while now...........is this normal?
[16:53] <LhiQuer> jeez, the %$£"ing nvidia drivers
[16:53] <jazzkutya> IndyGunFreak: no traces of it in edit/preferences and edit/plugins, and no answer here to my question
[16:53] <hadouken> mefi: "sudo -s" first sorry
[16:53] <hadouken> mefi: you gotta be root
[16:53] <fwaokda> amenado, the one I'm talking about is... /media/disk-1
[16:53] <mefi> alraune: hmm... well, I might have
[16:53] <IndyGunFreak> jazzkutya: that doesn't mean its not possible.
[16:53] <berntsen> TSchultz55: Yeah, for a little while.
[16:53] <mefi> hadouken: be root?
[16:53] <killaz> LhiQuer: you have problems with the nvidia drivers too?
[16:53] <TSchultz55> berntsen: it DOES take awhile?
[16:53] <hadouken> mefi: yes, type "sudo -s" first
[16:54] <amenado> fwaokda-> what about it? is it a usb stick?
[16:54] <LhiQuer> killaz, i did
[16:54] <alraune> do a reboot then and watch the screen at bootuptime for errormessages, I will still wait here, but so far I'm up, type : reboot
[16:54] <LhiQuer> killaz, easiest is to just reinstall
[16:54] <killaz> LhiQuer: HOW?
[16:54] <berntsen> TSchultz55: It generates the locales. Depends on the speed of you r computer
[16:54] <killaz> oops caps
[16:54] <LhiQuer> killaz, as in ubuntu
[16:54] <killaz> which one of the packages is the nvidia drivers?
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer Nvidia is fine, just manually configure your monitor settings
[16:54] <TSchultz55> I'm watching it in the terminal.......It's still on the first one (en_AU.UTF-8)......for about 15 min now
[16:55] <TSchultz55> but i'll keep my eye on i
[16:55] <IndyGunFreak> killaz: how did you install the driver?
[16:55] <TSchultz55> t
[16:55] <mefi> hadouken: okey, I first put sudo -s
[16:55] <TSchultz55> thanks
[16:55] <fwaokda> amenado, no I don't know what it is... see I only have one usb device plugged in thats a usb external hdd.  It's 500gb.  It's also mounted in there as /media/disk.  I don't know what /media/disk-1 is
[16:55] <LhiQuer> killaz, what kernel did you update to?
[16:55] <mefi> hadouken: then open kill -9 5856
[16:55] <hadouken> mefi: yes, "kill -9 <PID>"
[16:55] <hadouken> mefi: make sure thats the PID of the screensaver app tho
[16:55] <berntsen> TSchultz55: That certainly sounds wrong. Mine takes 1-2 min to do all
[16:55] <mefi> alraune: you mean things that were not in the synaptic?
[16:55] <alraune> hadouken: what are u killing ?
[16:55] <killaz> LhiQuer: 2.6.24-19
[16:56] <alraune> mefi : yes
[16:56] <amenado> fwaokda-> what if you unmount /media/disk-1 ?
[16:56] <killaz> IndyGunFreak: it installed them for me automatic when I installed the system.. didn't bother figuring out which package it was.
[16:56] <alraune> hadouken: ah, s-saver
[16:56] <hadouken> alraune: his screensaver app has frozen
[16:56] <killaz> IndyGunFreak: now that I updated to the new kernel... things went wrong...
[16:56] <LhiQuer> killaz, please check the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5233563
[16:57] <IndyGunFreak> killaz: and now its not in hardware driver manager anymore?...
[16:57] <fwaokda> amenado, i get this "umount: /media/disk-1 is not in the fstab (and you are not root)"
[16:57] <killaz> IndyGunFreak: yup
[16:57] <mefi> hadouken: okey got it
[16:57] <IndyGunFreak> wierd...
[16:57] <hadouken> mefi: gone?
[16:57] <TSchultz55> berntsen: uh oh....
[16:57] <berntsen> TSchultz55: Installing or upgrading?
[16:57] <papi001> how do i recover a minimized program
[16:57] <fwaokda> amenado, also... if you look at the disk-1's properities they're all listed as "unknown" except size which is 434.6gb
[16:57] <amenado> fwaokda-> use sudo umount /media/disk-1
[16:57] <TSchultz55> berntsen: upgrading
[16:57] <LhiQuer> IndyGunFreak, the forums say all http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5233563
[16:57] <IndyGunFreak> LhiQuer: yeah, was just looking at it.
[16:57] <mefi> alraune: well, I tried installing git4cf-automator... think I failed though
[16:58] <mefi> hadouken: yes! ty
[16:58] <LhiQuer> always best to do a fresh install
[16:58] <berntsen> TSchultz55: You could try stopping it, and then run dpkg -configure -a
[16:58] <alraune> mefi, hadouken: remove it, maybe uncomment hardy partners in sources.list, start fw after reboot, I'm done
[16:58] <papi001> how do i recover a minimized program
[16:58] <fwaokda> amenado, it'll get rid of it 'but' I'm wanting to make it where it isn't going to keep mounting itself everytime i log onto my computer
[16:58] <TSchultz55> berntsen: how do I "stop" the upgrade?
[16:58] <amenado> fwaokda-> btw, which ubuntu version do you have? you seemed to have enabled bunch of filesystems
[16:58] <TSchultz55> just kill it?
[16:58] <berntsen> TSchultz55: Ctrl+C :-)
[16:58] <cygoku> Hey, it's me again, I am using VLC for playing video and DVD, but it is not supported my laptop front panel play/pause/stop/"etc" buttons, how I can have them recognise ?!?!
[16:58] <fwaokda> amenado, 8.4
[16:58] <fwaokda> .1
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer Who is having trouble getting nvidia to work?
[16:59] <amenado> fwaokda-> paste your /etc/fstab please
[16:59] <hadouken> mefi: np :)
[16:59] <TSchultz55> berntsen: I'm using the GUI
[16:59] <LhiQuer> Jack_Sparrow, disappeared from the hardware drivers
[16:59] <mefi> hadouken: but the problem with the screensaver window came first when I selected one of the options in it.. Now I can't change
[16:59] <TSchultz55> not directly from the CLI
[16:59] <IndyGunFreak> cygoku: like buttons on your keyboard?
[16:59] <papi001>
[16:59] <mefi> alraune: okey, ty
[16:59] <killaz> LhiQuer: now way I'm going to reinstall ubuntu..
[16:59] <hadouken> mefi: could be a bug, try updating everything to latest version
[16:59] <killaz> LhiQuer: :-(
[16:59] <fwaokda> amenado, it's posted on the 4th (last) post of this thread... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5422055#post5422055
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer sudo lshw doesnt show nvidia
[16:59] <jazzkutya> IndyGunFreak: it's not in any documentation i'v found (manpage, faq on website, help) so i declare it impossible or at least very much fucked up
[16:59] <LhiQuer> killaz, only takes 30 mins
[16:59] <cygoku> IndyGunFreak : Well those buttons are on the front of my laptop, not really on the keyboard.
[17:00] <fwaokda> amenado, posted that forum link maybe you can see what others have recommended and my responses only 4 posts not long
[17:00] <berntsen> TSchultz55: ohh..try closing the windows then, if not you have to go into the terminal and kill it there, or the system monitor
[17:00] <Shishire> Got a quick question:  Is there a way to change the owner of files on NTFS partitions?  chown says it works, but doesn't.  Is there some option I need to use specially at mount-time?
[17:00] <mefi> hadouken: think alraune just helped me with that :P I can't click anything within the screensaver window without getting it frozen
[17:00] <LhiQuer> Jack_Sparrow, whats happening to him happened to me... drivers disappeared after kernel upgrade
[17:00] <monkeyBox> Hi all.  I have a game that runs in fullscreen, but only supports 3:4,  and because I have a widescreen monitor,  it stretches the game out.   Is there a way to make my display full-screen in 3:4, and _not_ stretch out the display (ie, w/ black bars on the sides)?
[17:00] <TSchultz55> berntsen: yeah the "Close" option is grayed out
[17:00] <IndyGunFreak> jazzkutya: well,  i don't know.. never heard that situation before, so that tells me its an isolated incident
[17:00] <hadouken> mefi: ok, then listen to alraune, he is very wise :P
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> LhiQuer k
[17:00] <TSchultz55> guess i'll manually have to kill it
[17:00] <TSchultz55> this isn't gonna be pretty,...........................
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> bbl
[17:00] <berntsen> TSchultz55: nope...
[17:00] <killaz> LhiQuer: you know how many apps I got installed, development tools?
[17:00] <amenado> fwaokda-> can you remove this none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=664 0 0  and then reboot, and compare to what you have now
[17:00] <IndyGunFreak> cygoku: ok.. well, thats probably gonna be an exercise in futility, just so you know.
[17:00] <TSchultz55> berntsen: good thing for TimeVault
[17:01] <mefi> hadouken: but it didnt help in this case :P
[17:01] <fwaokda> amenado, ok brb
[17:01] <cygoku> IndyGunFreak : What does that mean ?
[17:01] <alraune> mefi: I just opened my wine... reboot, music is turned on, lol...
[17:01] <killaz> LhiQuer: I didn't install a linux system to be doing things the microsoft way
[17:01] <berntsen> TSchultz55: never tried it
[17:01] <hadouken> mefi: what didnt help?
[17:01] <LhiQuer> killaz, what card do you use?
[17:01] <alraune> mefi: watch the boot messages
[17:01] <TSchultz55> berntsen: "localdef" is still running......50% CPU......so it'
[17:01] <mefi> alraune: sorry what!? hehe
[17:01] <TSchultz55> it's doing SOMETHING
[17:01] <mefi> hadouken: with the screensaver bug :P
[17:02] <jazzkutya> can anyone recommend a different music player instead of rhythmbox?
[17:02] <alraune> jazzkuta: amarok
[17:02] <hadouken> mefi: ah :)
[17:02] <LhiQuer> AMAROK FTW
[17:02] <jazzkutya> i don't need music libraries but handling radios similar to rhyhmbox would be great
[17:02] <killaz> LhiQuer: forgot the command which lists the hardware
[17:02] <mefi> alraune: where?
[17:02] <evilbug> if i have a dedicated windows partition, i can boot it through a vm in ubuntu, correct?
[17:03] <Shishire> Got a quick question:  Is there a way to change the owner of files on NTFS partitions?  chown says it works, but doesn't.  Is there some option I need to use specially at mount-time?
[17:03] <berntsen> jazzkutya: Amarok or Exaile
[17:03] <hadouken> evilbug: vmware ?
[17:03] <jazzkutya> thanx
[17:03] <mefi> alraune, hadouken: man If I was the one trying to help me, I'd be pissed of with me
[17:03] <LhiQuer> killaz, i don't know it either :S
[17:03] <evilbug> hadouken- yes.
[17:03] <hadouken> mefi: im pissed off with myself for helping you already :P
[17:03] <alraune> mefi: type: reboot, when machine comes up again, watch the screen for errors (try it still today, though)
[17:04] <mefi> hadouken: hahaha cheerio
[17:04] <killaz> LhiQuer: hold on going to find it
[17:04] <LhiQuer> killaz, lspci
[17:04] <killaz> yup
[17:04] <mefi> alraune: okay.. Ill do it soon
[17:04] <hadouken> mefi: i was only joking ;)
[17:04] <killaz> LhiQuer: exactly
[17:04] <bastid_raZor> jack-desktop; you're on this too?
[17:04] <mefi> alraune: maybe the problem is attached to the problem with my screensaver options?
[17:05] <LhiQuer> killaz, lspci | grep VGA           will be tidier
[17:05] <mefi> hadouken: yeah I know =)
[17:05] <laxy> ???
[17:05] <laxy> 这是什么东西
[17:05] <hadouken> evilbug: dont think vmware is capable of that
[17:05] <alraune> mefi: maybe, then remove it
[17:05] <hadouken> but im not 100% sure, check vmware docs?
[17:05] <n1c0> hi all!
[17:05] <evilbug> hadouken- so i'd have to install windows through the vm?
[17:05] <fwaokda> amenado, well haha, I forgot to erase the line before restarting (doh!) but its not here now.  Perhaps because I didn't umount it this time before restarting and that fixed it.  I'll keep watching it thanks!
[17:06] <killaz> LhiQuer: I have a GeForce 8400M G ...
[17:06] <indra> did anybody know internet messanger with voice mail and he have hotmail yahoo ...
[17:06] <laxy> what is this
[17:06] <mefi> alraune, hadouken: when I open Screensaver options, the window works, I can click on anything but the different types I can choose from. If I do, the window freeze up
[17:06] <LhiQuer> killaz, the full line please
[17:06] <hadouken> evilbug: yes, vmware uses virtual hard drives (file backed)
[17:06] <amenado> fwaokda-> am glad we resolved it
[17:06] <hadouken> mefi: do you try to select a 3d screensaver by any chance?
[17:07] <mefi> BioF
[17:07] <mefi> cant see preview
[17:07] <killaz> LhiQuer: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M G (rev a1)
[17:07] <bobertdos> I think I've totally botched a binary driver installation (ATI) and I've tried everything the wiki says to clean it up to no avail. I can't get rid of MESA. Any suggestions?
[17:07] <khamael> does there exist a countdown applet for gnome?
[17:07] <evilbug> hadouken- i see.
[17:07] <LhiQuer> killaz, okay
[17:07] <mefi> hadouken: BioF, can't see preview
[17:07] <hadouken> evilbug: basically no, you cant run an existing windows partition from linux :) unless you used Xen or somethin
[17:07] <killaz> LhiQuer: what you need this info for?
[17:07] <LhiQuer> killaz, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings
[17:08] <hadouken> mefi: maybe your graphics card isnt setup properly or something
[17:08] <mefi> yeah
[17:08] <evilbug> hadouken- thanks.
[17:08] <_tobias> Hey, I just installed ubuntu from windows, got 2 hdds, one I installed ubuntu on and the other one is still ntfs I guess, trying to access that hdd I get "Cannot mount Volume" and it says I can try to force, but if I do that, will it affect the disk in any way? I got alot of stuff on it I don't want to lose. And will I still be able to access it if I ever go back to windows or will ubuntu change the filesystem?
[17:08] <killaz> LhiQuer: I didn'tt have nvidia-settings installed
[17:08] <indra> can somebbody tell me
[17:08] <mefi> hadouken: maybe it's a problem with compiz
[17:08] <fwaokda> amenado, me too im gonna go update my forum post! I don't know much about the forums (I'm fairly new to them) but I noticed they had a system for thanking people that help you.  Do you have a username on the forums that some how I can thank so you get some credit for fixing it ;) ???
[17:09] <LhiQuer> killaz, that command does everything for you
[17:09] <LhiQuer> killaz, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings
[17:09] <berntsen> _tobias: You could try to mount it read-only
[17:09] <TSchultz55> shit................Hardy upgrade crapped out.
[17:09] <TSchultz55> not good
[17:09] <hadouken> mefi: could be, i would just update your installation and carry on as normal, wait for it to happen again, then do some further testing, make sure you grab the logs straight after, run ultimate boot cd etc
[17:09] <_tobias> berntsen: how to? :P
[17:09] <TSchultz55> very very bad
[17:09] <killaz> LhiQuer: I'm going to reinstall the nvidia-glx-new thing
[17:09] <amenado> fwaokda-> no registered name really, just use my nick here on #ubuntu  amenado for the credit :P
[17:10] <killaz> LhiQuer: or just install and than restart?
[17:10] <berntsen> _tobias: in terminal: mount -o ro /dev/sd?? /some_empty_dir
[17:10] <mefi> hadouken: okay.. I'll do that then.. there is nop way of removing and reinstalling screensaver optins huh?
[17:10] <berntsen> _tobias: sudo first ofcourse
[17:10] <hadouken> mefi: possibly, but i wouldnt know how...
[17:10] <berntsen> TSchultz55: terminal: sudo dpkg -configure -a
[17:10] <LhiQuer> killaz, install and restart
[17:10] <owner> how do i look for wireless hotspots on ubuntu
[17:11] <owner> likeavailable wireless connection
[17:11] <killaz> LhiQuer: ok... thank you. I'm going to restart
[17:11] <RemsSs> owner: wifi-radar
[17:11] <mefi> hadouken: do you know where I could get support regarding graphics and using two screens and such?
[17:11] <hadouken> mefi: view the ubuntu docs/wiki etc ?
[17:11] <hadouken> search forums
[17:11] <hadouken> the usual :)
[17:12] <owner> in this on here already or do i now need to install it
[17:12] <amenado> _tobias-> which one are you trying to access ? from the installed ubuntu by itself or the one with via wubi?
[17:12] <jazzkutya> changing keyboard layouts with both shift pressed stops working. it is set up in keyboard preferences. any ideas?
[17:12] <TSchultz55> berntsen: i'm doing that soon......................................
[17:12] <amenado> _tobias-> which one are you booted to now?
[17:12] <mefi> hadouken: okay... no IRC-channel? I've also got trouble displaying anything on my TV-screen
[17:12] <TSchultz55> berntsen: I had to complete shut down the computer :(
[17:12] <berntsen> TSchultz55: i see
[17:12] <_tobias> amenado: I'm trying to access the old one, the one which I didnt install ubuntu on
[17:12] <hadouken> mefi: not sure tbh, maybe someone here would know...
[17:12] <TSchultz55> berntsen: may god have mercy on my soul for whatever is about to happen once I reboot
[17:12] <hadouken> i have no experience with TV output tho
[17:12] <mefi> hadouken: ok
[17:13] <amenado> _tobias-> the ubuntu file image on an ntfs partition?
[17:13] <mefi> hadouken: that stupid TV worked yesterday, then something changed, now it ain't showing anything
[17:13] <berntsen> TSchultz55: we'll see. I have to go soon...going to a concert, but I'm sure there are others that can help you through it step by step. Right people?
[17:14] <TSchultz55> berntsen: comp wont even boot now.  it's completely fucked.
[17:14] <amenado> for the right price :)
[17:14] <fwaokda> I was just thinking of putting together a 'green' pc. Has anyone ever looked into it or know of a place online that might be helpful?
[17:14] <_tobias> amenado: I installed ubuntu on the master-hdd, and I'm trying to access the slave one, via ubuntu, the slave one was just a backup-drive
[17:14] <hadouken> mefi: what did you change?
[17:14] <berntsen> TSchultz55: error is?
[17:14] <TSchultz55> berntsen: wait nm hold that thought...........................
[17:14] <cycom> fwaokda: green as in lead free, or green as in low-power?
[17:14] <fwaokda> cycom, i suppose both would make it 'greener' haha
[17:14] <TSchultz55> oo wait
[17:14] <tv7497> guys s/w to erase rw dvd except brasero
[17:14] <TSchultz55> its loading
[17:15] <tv7497> i meant is there any s/w ?
[17:15] <TSchultz55> failes to initialize HAL
[17:15] <dextorion> got problems with random crashes when viewing flash content.  Have read about some workarounds, but nothing solid. Anyone know if there is a solid fix?
[17:15] <amenado> _tobias any filesystem you wanted to view within ubuntu must be mounted, therefore mount the backup-drive
[17:15] <hadouken> fwaokda: just draw a pic of ubuntu on a cardboard box, cant get any greener :P
[17:15] <_tobias> amenado: how to?
[17:15] <cycom> hadouken: could use hemp-based paper or something.
[17:15] <fwaokda> hadouken, that doesn't really work though.
[17:15] <TSchultz55> berntsen: nm it boots now....stuff's messed up but at least I can get to the desktop.
[17:15] <cycom> hadouken: or on a rock!
[17:15] <mefi> hadouken: oh I changed a lot trying to get the right resolution on my LCD-monitor :P now the loading page when booting ubuntu is all messed up, color-wise
[17:16] <fwaokda> a rock would be greener ha
[17:16] <berntsen> TSchultz55: great!
[17:16] <hadouken> cycom: lol, rocks can hurt people, corpses arent good for the environment :P
[17:16] <amenado> _tobias-> sudo mount /dev/sdxx /mnt   you have to find out your /dev/sdxx  via  sudo fdisk -l
[17:16] <cycom> hadouken: sure they are!
[17:16] <cycom> hadouken: just not for other complex organisms when in large quantities.
[17:16] <cygoku> Hey, it's me again, I am using VLC for playing video and DVD, but it is not supported my laptop front panel play/pause/stop/"etc" buttons, how I can have them recognise ?!?!
[17:16] <AnonDan> I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 and It keeps freezing every 1-2 minutes. Is there a new feature that hogs the HDD or anything?
[17:17] <hadouken> cycom: unless youre a cannibal, then its a free lunch
[17:17] <amenado> fwaokda-> try to use one of those fanless single board pc perhaps? like the VIA based processors
[17:17] <\kG> how secure is the encryption u can setup on ubuntu install?
[17:17] <hadouken> mefi: nvidia ?
[17:17] <cycom> but I digress.  fwaokda, laptops (if you can get the hardware support) are my weapon of choice for low power PCs.
[17:17] <cycom> hadouken: as long as it's fresh.
[17:17] <_tobias> amenado: will this affect the filesystem in any way?
[17:17] <hadouken> :P
[17:17] <mefi> hadouken: crappy radeon
[17:17] <fwaokda> amenado, alright -- im going to start looking into it and will post any findings on the forums for others I think.
[17:17] <amenado> _tobias-> affect? you are just mounting another filesystem..for viewing
[17:18] <hadouken> fwaokda: amenado is right, look into mini-itx systems
[17:18] <_tobias> amenado: oh, ok :P, thanks for the help :)
[17:18] <porncake> !compiz
[17:18] <hadouken> cant get lower power than taht
[17:18] <hadouken> mefi: not sure then
[17:18] <dextorion> anyone have flash running without crashes?
[17:18] <hadouken> support for old ati cards is terrible
[17:18] <cycom> like I said though, laptops can be a tad more practical.  Plus, built in UPS!
[17:18] <mefi> hadouken: okay...
[17:19] <hadouken> good point cycom
[17:19] <hadouken> bit more expensive tho
[17:19] <cycom> hadouken: he said green, not cheap ;)
[17:19] <mefi> Anoyone know wether I can remove a screensaver from computer?
[17:19] <_tobias> amenado: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[17:20] <cycom> Personally, I am extremely happy with my Dell E1505.  Came with vista, but I installed ubuntu 8.04.1 on it in a few days, and BAM! Instant awesome.
[17:20] <cycom> mefi: remove in what way?
[17:20] <cycom> mefi: does the screen power off, or just the pretty pictures that get displayed?
[17:20] <amenado> _tobias-> then specify it please, typically they are ext2 or ext3, but if it was used for windows then ntfs-3g
[17:20] <mefi> cycom: like, the file
[17:20] <hadouken> cycom: the bigger the better for me, screw the environment :P
[17:20] <berntsen> _tobias: mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/sd?? /mnt
[17:20] <cycom> mefi: that doesn't really clear things up though... the program you mean?
[17:21] <bobertdos> dextorion: 64 or 32-bit system?
[17:21] <mefi> cycom: the screensaver options freeze up when I try to change screensaver... It's stuck on BioF, so I figure if I remove it it might work... it's Gnome screensaver
[17:21] <will00> in running hardy and iv tried to set up ampache, but when i get to step two, it says ampache.cfg.php exists error. does anyone know why this happens/
[17:21] <cycom> hadouken: Oh, don't get me wrong.  I have my nice big Pentium D EE with 4gb of ram, a few hundred gigs of storage, and a big ol power supply to run a GeForcec Go 9600 GT :)
[17:21] <_tobias> amenado: "mount: only root can do that"
[17:22] <amenado> _tobias-> yes, and you noticed i typed sudo mount....
[17:22] <cycom> mefi: hrm. you could apt-get remove the screensaver modules with OpenGL, iirc
[17:22] <Will__> Hi, I am installing Ubuntu desktop for i386. I am in the Live CD now. The installation always seems to complete normally, but upon reboot it says "missing operating system". Help?
[17:22] <hadouken> cycom: yeh thats nice, my 3ghz quad core, ati 3870 crossfire, 2tb HD is better tho, i want the planet to scream in pain when i boot my machine up :{
[17:22] <mefi> cycom: and how to do that? specifically?
[17:23] <hadouken> Will__: check your boot order in BIOS
[17:23] <LhiQuer> hey killaz
[17:23] <_tobias> amenado: oh, yeh, right :P sorry
[17:23] <fwaokda> Found something: http://www.climatesaverscomputing.org/#
[17:23] <cycom> mefi: well, I don't know specifics...
[17:23] <nicdm> I'm running ubuntu on my intel mac mini
[17:23] <mefi> kk
[17:23] <Will__> hadouken: How do I do this?
[17:23] <killaz> hi LhiQuer
[17:23] <amenado> Will__-> are you sure you completed the install? selected which partition to put GRUB ?
[17:23] <killaz> LhiQuer: no luck
[17:23] <cycom> hadouken: well, lets not forget that I have two other desktops, a P4 and a dual PIII box, plus two other laptops :)
[17:23] <LhiQuer> killaz, you will never get the hardware driver to reappear
[17:24] <hadouken> cycom: ah ok, you probably beat me then hehe
[17:24] <cycom> hadouken: ALL running seti@home to boot!
[17:24] <killaz> LhiQuer: oh?
[17:24] <ubuntu> Whoops
[17:24] <mefi> cycom: I got it
[17:24] <killaz> LhiQuer: why is that?
[17:24] <LhiQuer> killaz, sudo nvidia-settings
[17:24] <cycom> hadouken: I'm hoping we find some aliens that give us cold fusion or something.
[17:24] <hadouken> cycom: omg, you must hate the environment with a passion :O ... or really wanna find aliens
[17:24] <mefi> cycom: I searched for the name of the screensaver i synaptic, found it and uninstalled... really sick screensaver something
[17:24] <hadouken> cycom: lol yeh, screw the planet then ask the aliens to help us, i like your style :P
[17:25] <cycom> hadouken: actually, most of our power near here is nuc, so it doesn't really matter in terms of carbon emissions and all that junk.
[17:25] <killaz> LhiQuer: first I need to run nvidia-xconfig
[17:25] <hadouken> Will__: you need to enter your BIOS when your comp boots then make sure your linux drive is set to boot, did you use windows before?
[17:25] <LhiQuer> killaz, okay
[17:25] <killaz> LhiQuer: rebooting brb
[17:25] <cycom> and for all of you about to cry 'NUCLEAR POLLUTES', lets not forget that Uranium was already in the ground, and putting it back after we've used it can't be much worse.
[17:25] <hadouken> cycom: grown any extra limbs/ears recently ? ;)
[17:26] <cycom> hadouken: please. nuclear is safer than coal, for sure.
[17:26] <cycom> hadouken: the area I live in has radon in the ground everywhere naturally.  It's probably safer to be at the plant.
[17:26] <\kG> does anyone know how u can acomlish FULL disk encryption on ubuntu?
[17:26] <hadouken> cycom: dunno, a lot of my family used to work with coal etc, never did them any harm
[17:26] <cycom> \kG: I know debian had a nice article on it.
[17:26] <cygoku> Hey, it's me again, I am using VLC for playing video and DVD, but it is not supported my laptop front panel play/pause/stop/"etc" buttons, how I can have them recognise ?!?!
[17:26] <cycom> hadouken: no black lung?
[17:26] <th0r> \kG, encfs I think will do that, so will truecrypt now
[17:26] <nootrope> hiya. not sure this is the proper channel for this question but... i'm running HH and loving it. but i'm having a bit of a time trying to have it see the shares in my OS X system, seeming only to look for Windows shares. I use Firestarter and when I disable it, the OS X shares show up fine. I've added the OS X machine's IP to the inbound access policy in Firestarter but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong?
[17:27] <cycom> cygoku: there are some packages to do that, but honestly, you're better off trying to get your videos to play in totem.
[17:27] <hadouken> cycom: nope... only damage my lungs have are from 2nd hand smoking :\
[17:27] <\kG> th0r   i have the latest truecrypt and it will not do full disk encryption
[17:27] <cygoku> cycom, what packages ?
[17:27] <amenado> nootrope-> umm what filesystem does OS X uses?
[17:27] <cycom> cygoku: *shrug* dunno.  I just got my video to play in Totem :)
[17:28] <nootrope> amenado: HFS+
[17:28] <dru> hey, im trying to open an .rar file that is not password protected, yet archive manager is still asking me for a password .. and no the file is not corrupt .. can someone help?
[17:28] <nootrope> amenado, an Apple format
[17:28] <cygoku> cycom, Huh ok :P But totem doesn't play dvd ;)
[17:28] <hadouken> \kG: i used to use cryptoloop for full disk encryption
[17:28] <cycom> hadouken: my grandfather smoked for 40 years, played with rocket fuel chemicals for most of his life, and visited nuclear test sites (ground zero). he died of lung cancer, (but not the varety you get from smoking) at 80.
[17:29] <hadouken> \kG : best thing to do is google for a guide/HOWTO
[17:29] <cycom> cygoku: sure it does...
[17:29] <ikonia> cycom: how has that anything to do with ubuntu ?
[17:29] <PrimoTurbo> what would be the command to take ownership of a directory get read/write access and all it's files/subdirectories?
[17:29] <cygoku> cycom, I plays dvd true okay, but without menu !
[17:29] <amenado> nootrope-> check if your ubuntu support such FS  i cant recall where right now, somewhere in /proc/sys
[17:29] <ikonia> piju: chown -R
[17:29] <cycom> ikonia: sorry, I'm spreading offtopic stuff to hadouken in with my advice to several people in the channel.
[17:29] <\kG> hadouken ; lookin into it thank you
[17:29] <nicdm> dru do you have unrar installed?
[17:29] <hadouken> PrimoTurbo: chown -R
[17:29] <amenado> nootrope-> ahh cat /proc/filesystems
[17:30] <kiru> i am looking for a meta messenger capable of icq, msn and skype? any hints?
[17:30] <ikonia> cycom: try to keep the offtopic stuff in #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[17:30] <hadouken> PrimoTurbo: and chmod -R
[17:30] <nootrope> amenado, ok... lemme see
[17:30] <hadouken> \kG : np
[17:30] <ikonia> kiru: pidgin is the closest multi messanger product
[17:30] <th0r> kiru, skype is proprietary so I doubt you will find what you are looking for
[17:30] <kiru> ikonia: icq doesnt work anymore with my pidgin... this is actually why i am asking for smth else
[17:30] <LhiQuer> hey killaz
[17:30] <killaz> LhiQuer: hi
[17:31] <ApOgEE-> i have problem booting hardy livecd on my hp nx9010. any ideas?
[17:31] <ikonia> kiru: it should do, ubuntu put a fix in and that fix should be propodated
[17:31] <LhiQuer> killaz, sudo nvidia-settings ?
[17:31] <hadouken> kiru : another vote for pidgin, or aMSN maybe
[17:31] <Raheem> ApOgEE-, more details please
[17:31] <ikonia> propogated even
[17:31] <Raheem> ApOgEE-, confirm if u did check the cd for defects ?
[17:31] <killaz> LhiQuer: again the same messsage run nvidia-xconfig
[17:31] <killaz> I already did that
[17:31] <nootrope> amenado, sowhere's FAT and FAT32 in this list? it doesn't seem to have problems with that.
[17:31] <kiru> ikonia: i updated but i still get the message that my pidgin is outdated and this is why icq doesnt work
[17:32] <killaz> LhiQuer: and restarted
[17:32] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, i have use the live cd on other laptop and pc. no problem
[17:32] <LhiQuer> killaz, sudo nvidia-xconfig ?
[17:32] <amenado> nootrope-> yes, ubuntu can easily read and write to FAT and FAT32
[17:32] <ikonia> kiru: doesn't look like you've updated to the correct version
[17:32] <Raheem> ApOgEE-, did u try with the safe VGA mode ?
[17:32] <kiru> ikonia: uh, i found it
[17:32] <kiru> ikonia: i still have to update it
[17:32] <ikonia> kiru: ahh well done
[17:32] <ikonia> kiru: there you go then
[17:32] <SHAO_MGA> does anyone know how to fix the bug of nvidia that shake screen on leave session ??
[17:32] <nootrope> amenado, yeah, i got that. why does itmanage with Apple's system when I turn off the firewall?
[17:32] <Raheem> or tell us where exactly it stops ?
[17:33] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: are you using the nvidia drivers ?
[17:33] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia yes !
[17:33] <kiru> ikonia: but it doesnt upgrade because it is hold back or smth
[17:33] <ikonia> kiru: please get the exact error
[17:33] <kiru> ikonia: dont know how to tell it in english -.-
[17:33] <_tobias> amenado: I mounted it, and it went away from the "places"-menu, It was there before I tried to mount it, "250 gb Media Disk"
[17:33] <nootrope> amenado, this may be OT
[17:33] <killaz> LhiQuer: I already did that.... the system restarted in a very low resolution just like after the kernel update
[17:33] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: if it's an issue with the drivers, there is nothing ubuntu can do to fix it. What card do you have ?
[17:33] <amenado> nootrope-> i dont follow, it manage with Apple when you turn of the firewall
[17:33] <LhiQuer> killaz, right, now we need to do something
[17:33] <killaz> LhiQuer: I have chosen the nvidia 8 series drivers... still no luck
[17:33] <Kresten> Hi guys... I'm trying to install or at least run live cd on my brothers laptop, I get to the boot menu, but nothing happens when I choose an option.. It spins the cd for a while and then nothing :S - any suggestions?
[17:33] <kiru> "apt-get upgrade" -> "the following packes are hold back:" <-- dont know if it is correct translation to english
[17:33] <nootrope> amenado, yeah, it's something with the firewall, it seems
[17:34] <ikonia> Kresten: do a cd check - make sure its valid and the drive is working/can read it fine
[17:34] <instabin> what is the best way to share files between ubuntu computers at home?
[17:34] <nootrope> amenado, turning off Firestarter makes them read/writable
[17:34] <LhiQuer> killaz, gksu displayconfig-gtk
[17:34] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia:  MCP51
[17:34] <kiru> ikonia: "apt-get upgrade" -> "the following packes are hold back:" <-- dont know if it is correct translation to englis
[17:34] <killaz> LhiQuer: what is that for?
[17:34] <ikonia> instabin: nfs/samba/cifs/sshfs/ftp you choose
[17:34] <amenado> nootrope-> well when you try to share, it has to have access to the network, so you may have a firewall rules preventing such ports?
[17:34] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: i think so
[17:34] <Kresten> ikonia: nothing happens when i choose that option :S
[17:34] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: what chip set
[17:34] <instabin> ikonia: can i share logins also?
[17:34] <ikonia> Kresten: either cd is dead or drive is dead then
[17:35] <LhiQuer> killaz, you done it yet?
[17:35] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, i've tried the "safe graphic mode". it still freeze at about 2 bar of that orange status bar
[17:35] <nootrope> amenado, i thought not but i'll check again... thanks for your help
[17:35] <ikonia> instabin: thats nis/ldap/kerboeros
[17:35] <killaz> LhiQuer: yup
[17:35] <amenado> _tobias-> what was that again? i can barely remember what we were working on
[17:35] <LhiQuer> killaz, one sec
[17:35] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: c51mv
[17:35] <Raheem> ApOgEE-, just press Esc there, u could find where it stops, probably
[17:35] <ikonia> kiru: look in the dpkg.log find it why it's held back
[17:35] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: thats not a chipset
[17:35] <instabin> thanks ikonia
[17:35] <killaz> LhiQuer: I'm gonna choose nvidia...
[17:35] <LhiQuer> killaz, ok
[17:35] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: im using in a laptop
[17:35] <Kresten> is there any other way to install without using cd then?
[17:36] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: ahhh it's a lpatop model
[17:36] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, i do press esc multiple times now... nothing change. it is freezing
[17:36] <ikonia> Kresten: well, check if it's the cd first of all, or the drive
[17:36] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: yes... the default driver (generic) does not let enable the compiz
[17:36] <_tobias> amenado: mounting a ntfs-drive in ubuntu
[17:36] <killaz> LhiQue(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!r:
[17:36] <killaz> LhiQuer: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
[17:36] <Mnemonic^> I am new to Ubuntu, how can I see what packages are installes from console?
[17:36] <b4> Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a custom-built computer but I have trouble getting the onboard network card to work.
[17:36] <hoens> I just installed the restricted drivers for my graphics card, and everything is fine except I can't get above 800x600 resolution. I tried using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that never gave me an option to specify my refreshrate/resolution. Can anyone give me a hand configuring it? It's supposed to be 1600x1200 @ 60hz, but when I tried putting that in my xorg.conf ubuntu barfed.
[17:36] <ikonia> kiru: we saw you
[17:36] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: this is a proprietary one, i would like to know if there one compatible
[17:37] <MatBoy> wow, putting a SDcard in my cardreader locks up my whole PC, booting with it in gives and error too :S
[17:37] <b4> I can not remember anything going wrong with the network card during the installation.. would it alert me if it did not work?
[17:37] <kiru> ikonia: you saw me? where?
[17:37] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: where did you get the driver ?
[17:37] <MatBoy> this is new for me, always worked
[17:37] <ikonia> kiru: sorry meant for killaz
[17:37] <kiru> ah... sry...
[17:37] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, i have to press the power button for some second to reboot it
[17:37] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: ubuntu suggest me to download it
[17:37] <Frosty840> Hi, I was trying to get the nvidia drivers to work, and tried to set a screen resolution/graphics card combination, and I guess I chose wrong, because now the screen is pretty much a mess when I get to the login stage. Any ideas what I need to do to roll back?
[17:37] <LhiQuer> killaz, hold on
[17:37] <amenado> _tobias so did you do   a    sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdxx  /mnt   where /dev/sdxx is your ntfs partition?
[17:37] <Mnemonic^> Can anyone tell me how to make a service start on boot in ubuntu. from console?
[17:37] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: ok, so your using the packaged driver. Thats a good start
[17:37] <kiru> ikonia: dpkg.log doesnt tell anything
[17:38] <kiru> ikonia: last entry is 30mins old
[17:38] <b4> Mnemonic^: probably with chkconfig?
[17:38] <Mnemonic^> b4: Thanks
[17:38] <ikonia> kiru: thats frustrating, there is normally a note why things are held back. Are you on 8.04 ?
[17:38] <b4> or chkconf, don't remember
[17:38] <kiru> ikonia: yes
[17:38] <_tobias> amenado: yep
[17:38] <SHAO_MGA> Mnemonic^: download boot up manager
[17:38] <LhiQuer> killaz, is that when you try to change the driver to nvidia?
[17:38] <amenado> _tobias-> and what is the results?
[17:38] <killaz> LhiQuer: yup
[17:39] <qdb> hello
[17:39] <lucas_> hey is it possible to enable subtittles with elisa?
[17:39] <qdb> how to install font?
[17:39] <_tobias> amenado: as nothing at all, and tried to do it again and I get "Device or resource is busy"
[17:39] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: I can't see anything on your specific chipset listed in the supported cards list
[17:39] <kiru> ikonia: apt-get upgrade doesnt do it... but synaptic installs these hold packages...
[17:39] <cbx33> hey guys what's a good webcam for running under ubuntu?
[17:39] <Mnemonic^> b4: Ok.. What do I need to install to get that command?
[17:39] <ikonia> kiru: sudo apt-get update
[17:40] <ikonia> kiru: make sure your source list is up to date
[17:40] <b4> no idea, I never had to install it manually
[17:40] <amenado> _tobias-> type mount and see if its already mounted after you issued those commands
[17:40] <killaz> LhiQuer: should I reinstalled the nvdia drivers?
[17:40] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: yes, what a pitty.. the funny and ironic thing is that this is a brazilian model, in the fabricant website he said the laptop is compatible with ubuntu.. i think its just o reduce costs =/
[17:40] <amenado> _tobias-> then do an  ls -la /mnt
[17:40] <kiru> ikonia: ok, thank you... i think pidign is fully functional again :)
[17:40] <Frosty840> Guys, how can I reset my graphics options to "generic everything", please? I set the wrong options in the hardware config and now I can't get a picture
[17:40] <ikonia> kiru: thats what I wanted to hear
[17:41] <LhiQuer> killaz, reinstall them now if you want, yeah
[17:41] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: thks by the help
[17:41] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: it is "working" just not supported
[17:41] <_tobias> amenado: oh, there it is, but is it able to access it as a normal drive outside the terminal?
[17:41] <killaz> LhiQuer: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-new
[17:42] <amenado> _tobias-> what do you meant outside the terminal? try to use a file manager like nautilus and list it
[17:42] <LhiQuer> killaz, yeah
[17:42] <SHAO_MGA> does anyone know the file type to run in pscx emulator ???
[17:42] <amenado> not i
[17:43] <killaz> LhiQuer: no luck
[17:43] <Kresten> ikonia: I've tried it on another computer, seems like it was the cd which was defect.. anything I should keep in mind when burning a new one? - I'm using toast in OS X 10.5
[17:43] <SHAO_MGA> i would like to run MortalKombat 4 on ubuntu using the playstation emulator, the windows version did not work with Wine
[17:43] <ikonia> Kresten: sensivle speeds, quality media, thats sort of thing
[17:44] <LhiQuer> killaz, really
[17:44] <_tobias> amenado: I get the whole disk with all folders printed in the terminal, and I want to access it with nautilus
[17:44] <Kresten> ikonia: and another thing... Is it normal that OS X can't mount the .iso?
[17:44] <killaz> LhiQuer: this means I need to stick to the nv drivers?
[17:44] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: there is a Platstation emullator on ubuntu. The package is pcsx-bin
[17:44] <ikonia> Kresten: I wouldn't have said so , no, check the md5's
[17:44] <killaz> LhiQuer: this is such a crap...
[17:44] <LhiQuer> killaz, you may have to
[17:44] <nosto> ok - whenever someone is ready i need some help as i'm somewhat in a pinch
[17:44] <amenado> _tobias perhaps you need a tutorial on how to use ubuntu..let me see if i can locate one,
[17:45] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: right, i installed it, but where i can found roms? do you know something about it ?
[17:45] <amenado> !tutor
[17:45] <_tobias> amenado: Would love that :)
[17:45] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: roms are illegal
[17:45] <LhiQuer> killaz, have a look through this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[17:45] <fliegenderfrosch> hi, I've got a problem with my lcd display: sometimes the screen displays weird flickering colours on some parts. is my monitor broken? (I guess it's not a ubuntu-specific problem but hardware-related)
[17:45] <amenado> can comeone provide a link to _tobias for an ubuntu tutorial please
[17:45] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: thats not a topic for an ubuntu support channel. If you want to play a game, buy the game
[17:45] <cygoku> Is there a way to reset keyboard shortcuts to default (like after a fresh install?).
[17:45] <ikonia> amenado: turorial in what ?
[17:45] <nosto> i am currently using the cached OS from the live disc (i think that is the correct wording) and i am trying to repartition my windows partition on the same hdd
[17:45] <achtzehn> how do I get farsi (persian) input (scim) for ubuntu?
[17:45] <amenado> ikonia the basic usage
[17:46] <achtzehn> I have scim but there seems not to be such an input option
[17:46] <killaz> LhiQuer: I've read that.. since I dont have the Hardware drivers thing.. it won't work for me
[17:46] <ikonia> Tophat: http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/
[17:46] <LhiQuer> killaz, uname -r
[17:46] <nosto> is there a tool within ubuntu i can use to resize the partition further?
[17:46] <ikonia> nosto: gparted
[17:46] <nosto> is that installed with the little cached os? so i can run it?
[17:46] <killaz> LhiQuer: 2.6.24-19-generic
[17:46] <ikonia> nosto: apt-get install gparted on the livecd
[17:47] <killaz> that is exactly the kernel
[17:47] <LhiQuer> killaz, thats good news, open up synaptic
[17:47] <SHAO_MGA> ikonia: i have the game in CD i bought it... i would like to run it in the ubuntu, but the cd is for windows and wine does not work
[17:47] <nosto> how do i do that from the live cd? i'm currently "using" it
[17:47] <killaz> LhiQuer: done
[17:47] <nosto> telling me that i am unable to lock administration directory
[17:47] <ikonia> SHAO_MGA: the CD is not for windows - playstation cames are not "for windows"
[17:47] <mefi> Hey another problem - now VLC started hacking when I play whatever!
[17:47] <Raheem> SHAO_MGA, #winehq might be a better place
[17:47] <Frosty840> Hmm... found a webpage which told me how to fix it. Ah, damnit, it's killed my screen again!
[17:48] <ikonia> Raheem: winehq is nothing to do with getting ilegal roms
[17:48] <Frosty840> Well, that sucks...
[17:48] <amenado> _tobias-> try this https://help.ubuntu.com/
[17:48] <nosto> i'm lookin for something installed by the quick cached OS install
[17:48] <SHAO_MGA> Raheem: thanks
[17:48] <lucas_> elisa doesnt show video subtitles... how do i enable them???
[17:48] <LhiQuer> right, now search for linux-restricted-modules
[17:48] <Will__> I've tried installing Ubuntu on my computer on numerous occasions. It seems to install correctly, but upon reboot there's just a message saying "missing operating system". Can someone help with this?
[17:48] <_tobias> amenado: Thanks :)
[17:48] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, any other way to fix it?
[17:48] <stemount^> /join #perl
[17:48] <cycom> cygoku: I was going to say before, try Totem-Xine for DVD Menu support
[17:48] <Raheem> ApOgEE-, i still doubt ur CD media .. why don't u run a CD check ?
[17:49] <LhiQuer> killaz, and then choose linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic
[17:49] <Raheem> it is provided in the menu as an option
[17:49] <killaz> yup I will choose the 19-generic
[17:49] <hadouken> Will__: did you check your boot order in BIOS ?
[17:49] <nosto> looks like i already have gparted in this base  little install jam
[17:50] <sebateria> hi
[17:50] <Will__> Oh hi hadouken. How do you check this?
[17:50] <asmo[B]> do I have to do something special to see a mac partition?
[17:50] <LhiQuer> killaz, i'm guessing it wasn installed?
[17:50] <cygoku> cycom, I know, tho this is only a workaround the problem, not a fix.
[17:50] <Raheem> sebateria, hello
[17:50] <killaz> LhiQuer: nope
[17:50] <sebateria> no hablan español?
[17:50] <LhiQuer> killaz, was it or was it not?
[17:50] <dja> hola
[17:50] <hadouken> Will__: when your computer first POSTs (all the white text at start), press DEL so you enter the BIOS setup screen, then look for device/drive boot order
[17:50] <killaz> it wasn't
[17:50] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, i'm running cd check on that notebook now... will see the result soon
[17:50] <dja> yo hablo español
[17:50] <cygoku> cycom, And everything with totem or xine is the worse scenario you can ever use.
[17:50] <cycom> cygoku: but using VLC isn't?
[17:51] <Raheem> yup
[17:51] <hadouken> then make sure the HD you installed ubuntu to is listed
[17:51] <killaz> LhiQuer: should I know run the nvidia-config?
[17:51] <Will__> hadouken, alright be right back.
[17:51] <cycom> cygoku: I've been perfectly happy with them...
[17:51] <killaz> LhiQuer: should I know run the nvidia-xconfig?
[17:51] <hadouken> k
[17:51] <sebateria> ok dja
[17:51] <Will__> hadouken, just for future reference I'm in the Live CD now, Windows was wiped.
[17:51] <LhiQuer> killaz, i DARE you to open Hardware Drivers now
[17:51] <sebateria> sabrias si se puede instalar ares en LINUX
[17:51] <hadouken> Will__: did you install ubuntu to the same drive as windows ?
[17:52] <killaz> LhiQuer: omg
[17:52] <cygoku> cycom : VLC is not a workaroung, VLC is the video player that does it all, I only miss the way to set a simple media button to play/pause.
[17:52] <KoolD> hey all...reinstalling windows had wiped out by grub settings.. i just managed to boot in through the grub console.... how to make this boot permanent so that i get the boot choices again instead of always entering the grub console??
[17:52] <Will__> hadouken, yes
[17:52] <Raheem> !grub
[17:52] <hadouken> Will__: guess its not your boot order then
[17:52] <killaz> LhiQuer: so I should have reinstalled this package
[17:52] <cycom> cygoku: if the media buttons don't work, then it doesn't do it all :)
[17:52] <killaz> LhiQuer: cool...
[17:52] <killaz> LhiQuer: thank your very much
[17:52] <LhiQuer> killaz, are they there?
[17:52] <Will__> hadouken, at least, I think I did. I'm not certain, but Windows is not there anymore.
[17:52] <killaz> LhiQuer: yeah they are
[17:52] <cygoku> cycom : I guess you have an nVidia card ?
[17:52] <dja> de donde eresd sebateira
[17:52] <LhiQuer> right, killaz, a little more to be done
[17:52] <cycom> cygoku: not to mention the fact that totem handles remote locations pretty darn well, like mounted sshd drives.
[17:53] <crobian> hi everyone
[17:53] <asmo[B]> I've been having a lot of issues after recent updates, is there a way to go back to before the most recent updates?
[17:53] <killaz> LhiQuer: yeah it is not in se
[17:53] <sebateria> de españa/malaga
[17:53] <killaz> use
[17:53] <cycom> cygoku: actually, I have a Mobility Radeon X1400 in my laptop, which is what I primarily use ubuntu on.
[17:53] <LhiQuer> killaz, now enable it :D
[17:53] <hadouken> Will__: try rebooting your comp, at POST press F12, if you get a boot menu, select the ubuntu HD
[17:53] <cycom> cygoku: with desktop effects, no less.
[17:53] <cygoku> cycom : I have the exact same card and I have having problem with video and totem-xine.
[17:53] <crobian> is there any encryption solution for dual-boot environments that allow you to use encrypted partitions in both systems ?
[17:53] <LhiQuer> killaz, come back after you reboot
[17:53] <crobian> *allows
[17:53] <Will__> hadouken, I've tried this. I only have one HD, and I did this to boot from the CD.
[17:54] <cycom> cygoku: *shrug* I just played a dvd with it about 30 seconds ago, just to make sure I wasn't crazy.
[17:54] <Slart> crobian: truecrypt is available for both windows and linux.. I don't know if you can use two installs on the same partition though
[17:54] <hadouken> Will__: im guessing the install didnt complete properly then, or you installed it to the wrong drive
[17:54] <cygoku> cycom :  it's possible that you are not crazy, but with ati card, I always have to set the video output to use X11, and with totem-xine it's a pain.
[17:54] <crobian> Slart, I have a fully-encrypted hardy install (dm-crypt/LUKS) and was able to encrypt my windows partitions with truecrypt
[17:55] <cycom> cygoku: I didn't change any settings...
[17:55] <Slart> asmo[B]: nah.. I've never seen a way of unupdating or whatever to call it.. unless you want to reinstall from an older iso or something
[17:55] <crobian> but i dont seem to be able to encrypt anything else but the windows partition with truecrypt
[17:55] <crobian> without formatting the device anyway
[17:55] <Abed> when i want to enlarge my swap file should it be installed on /dev or it doesn't matter???
[17:55] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, Check finished: no errors found on the CD
[17:55] <cygoku> cycom : My mistake, xine is using X11 by default.
[17:55] <db92> how to make an image of a cd through ubuntu?
[17:55] <hadouken> Abed : your swap is a partition, not a file
[17:55] <Slart> crobian: hmm.. to bad.. would have been nice if it had worked =/
[17:56] <ApOgEE-> db92, you can use dd command
[17:56] <Will__> hadouken, as I've said I did the install many times, and it could be installing to the wrong drive, but it picks a default drive I think in the Install process.
[17:56] <Kresten> ikonia: You found the problem :) - the checksum doesn't match :)
[17:56] <crobian> i was thinking to use PGP, as it can encrypt any partition without issues
[17:56] <Raheem>  ApOgEE- i am runnig out of ideas.. please hold it .. someone will come up
[17:56] <lorenzo> hi, can someone tell me how to create a link to a folder within the Resources menu please? thanks a lot
[17:56] <Abed> hadouken:i am talking about enlarging not the orignial partition
[17:56] <crobian> but 1) i dont know much about its bootloader and chainloading it
[17:56] <debasys> does anyone use this laptop : http://www.lenovolaptopsindia.com/lenovoy50043qnotebooks.html ?
[17:56] <crobian> 2) it's not available for linux so no cross-platform support
[17:56] <killaz> LhiQuer: hi
[17:56] <killaz> LhiQuer: I'm back
[17:57] <LhiQuer> killaz, sudo nvidia-settings
[17:57] <debasys> that one got Celeron processor + 512 MB RAM , and mostly runs slow with ubuntu 8.04
[17:57] <Abed> i have a problem with my built in bluetooth { Toshiba A200-1M5} anyone?
[17:57] <hadouken> Will__: taht message comes up when the BIOS cant find a valid bootloader on the hard drives that its configured to check
[17:57] <killaz> LhiQuer: yup running
[17:57] <ApOgEE-> Raheem, hopefully someone could come out and help me resolve this problem. I'm stuck on this.
[17:57] <hadouken> Will__: so either the install is incomplete or the BIOS isnt set to boot from that drive
[17:57] <LhiQuer> killaz, a nice small window appears?
[17:57] <Will__> hadouken, so how do I correct this?
[17:57] <debasys> i want to use 8.10 but i am rather struck with 7.10 as 8.04 runs slow on my laptop
[17:58] <sebateria> se puede instalar ARES en LINUX ?
[17:58] <killaz> LhiQuer: yup....
[17:58] <hadouken> Will__: you could try to manually configure the GRUB bootloader
[17:58] <asmo[B]> what is the "Movie Player" package called?
[17:58] <hadouken> Will__: there are guides around if you google it
[17:58] <LhiQuer> killaz, click X Server Display Configuration
[17:59] <Abed> asmo:Rythmbox
[17:59] <killaz> LhiQuer:
[17:59] <killaz> LhiQuer: done
[17:59] <Slart> !es | sebateria
[17:59] <Will__> hadouken, I'll look it up.
[17:59] <KoolD> please help!!! suppose you have your /boot in /dev/sda3 so is root(hd0,2) right???
[17:59] <LhiQuer> killaz, now you can customise all settings... but be sure to "Save To X Configuration File"
[17:59] <Abed> anyone may help me with a bluetooth issue?
[17:59] <crobian> KoolD: yep
[17:59] <sebateria> ok
[18:00] <KoolD> crobian: thx
[18:00] <crobian> KoolD: np
[18:00] <killaz> LhiQuer: than you one more time...
[18:00] <asmo[B]> Abed: no Rythmbox package on my list...
[18:00] <debasys> here in a screenshot of 8.10 , text areas take up so much space http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu810alpha2-large_020.jpg
[18:00] <LhiQuer> killaz, no problem
[18:00] <killaz> LhiQuer: now <I have my old screen settings
[18:00] <debasys> is there a way to reduce gaps between them
[18:00] <LhiQuer> :D
[18:00] <Slart> debasys: #ubuntu+1
[18:00] <Slart> !intrepid
[18:00] <debasys> Slart, oh ok :)
[18:00] <Abed> asmo:try sudo apt-cache search rythmbox
[18:00] <Abed> asmo:then see wut it is called.
[18:01] <asmo[B]> nothing
[18:01] <Abed> asmo:sorry it is rhthymbox
[18:02] <debasys> but in general in ubuntu , spacing between different window elements is more than a Win window, which makes viewing space in wide-screen laptops
[18:02] <Abed> asmo:rhythmbox
[18:02] <Abed> lol
[18:02] <debasys> i hope someone understood my question
[18:02] <Abed> debasys:wut?
[18:02] <killaz> LhiQuer: so what we actually did was reinstall the linux-restricted-modules
[18:02] <silados> hello
[18:02] <silados> can i change default source an default sink in pulseaudio?
[18:02] <LhiQuer> killaz, and purge the old ones
[18:03] <daxroc> Hi all
[18:03] <Abed> daxroc:wut's wrong?
[18:03] <killaz> LhiQuer: yup.. indeed
[18:03] <debasys> Abed, what i mean to say is the spacing between text/icons/menus in a window in ubuntu is more than WIN XP, also icons are bit bigger which take up more viewing space
[18:03] <Abed> asmo:wut happened with you?
[18:03] <Abed> debasys:hold on
[18:04] <Slart> silados: yes.. install padevchooser, paman and pavucontrol.. next time you start there should be a pulseaudio icon in the tasktray where you can change this
[18:04] <asmo[B]> Abed: sorry was reinstalling it, thanks :)
[18:04] <Abed> asmo:ur welcome
[18:04] <daxroc> I have a problem trying to delete files on a samba shared folder from the local and remote box ( ubuntu as well ) , says that permission is read only , fs permissions are set as 0777 recursivly and i have forced user,group in samba conf ? what else could be wrong ?
[18:04] <Abed> debasys:r u using Gnome or KDE?
[18:05] <cycom> daxroc: you don't have the permissions set up on the remote box correctly.
[18:05] <debasys> Abed, gnome
[18:05] <asmo[B]> for some reason my movie player plays in slow motion since recent updates...
[18:05] <Will__> hadouken: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Loading-an-operating-system-directly
[18:05] <muntrue> Hey guys, what kind of video player can you recommend me ?
[18:05] <asmo[B]> and I've lost my sound...
[18:05] <debasys> Abed, i actually have started using XFCE few days ago as my laptop is very slow on gnome
[18:05] <Abed> debasys:click on System > Prefrences
[18:05] <Will__> hadouken, I'm not sure if Ubuntu installed at all so this can't help much
[18:05] <LhiQuer> be right back, i need to go download some porn gdm themes
[18:05] <Slart> muntrue: vlc is one.. there are many others
[18:06] <hadouken> Will__: how good are you with linux ?
[18:06] <Frosty840> Mmm... porn
[18:06] <Kane1> hey guys, how do i install the quake wars linux demo? i get errors saying the .run file cant be accessed
[18:06] <debasys> Abed, ok and [tell me i will remember , now i am on windows]
[18:06] <daxroc> cycom: what do you mean , kind of guessed that :) what should they be set at ?
[18:06] <Will__> hadouken, I'm pretty new to it.
[18:06] <AngryElf> how can I print out all processes using a given device (sda1) ?
[18:06] <muntrue> Slart, VNC ofcourse. could of thought of that haha, Say is there a mozilla codec pack available for ubuntu. To support web video besides flash ?
[18:06] <daxroc> ps aux | grep sda1
[18:06] <silados> Slart: i have installed all pa software packets but still cant change them
[18:06] <cycom> daxroc: same as on linux, read write exectute, etc. windows security features has a nice checkbox that says 'full access'
[18:06] <Slart> AngryElf: lsof with grep
[18:06] <hadouken> Will__: its pretty advanded to configure manually, i cant really guide you through it
[18:07] <Will__> hadouken, so what am I supposed to do?
[18:07] <Kane1> how do i install the quake wars linux demo? i get errors saying the .run file cant be accessed
[18:07] <AngryElf> Slart: something can be using a device w/o having an open file
[18:07] <daxroc> cycom: as I said im not using windows to access the shares , 2 remote linux boxes one ubuntu one custom os
[18:07] <Slart> muntrue: VLC.. not vnc..I don't know what the mozilla codec pack is supposed to do.. but there are mozilla plugins for various players
[18:07] <hadouken> Will__: find someone who can ;) maybe someone in here...
[18:07] <LhiQuer> anybody say OUCH??? http://gnome-look.org/
[18:07] <ceeg> can anyone reccomend a linux lamp based CRM solution that integrates/exports to Peachtree?
[18:08] <Will__> Well thanks anyway hadouken.
[18:08] <Abed> debasys:System > Appearance  > Advanced Desktop Effects { if u don't have it try sudo apt-get install compiz}
[18:08] <silados> Slart: the problem is that i cant find a option to SET them as default
[18:08] <Slart> AngryElf: well..using a hard drive would kind of require there to be an open file of some kind, afaik.. but never say never
[18:08] <Kane1> how do i install the quake wars linux demo? i get errors saying the .run file cant be accessed
[18:08] <muntrue> Slart, Sorry i ment VLC ofcourse :)
[18:08] <fwaokda> Can someone help me with a problem I'm having when my computer goes into standby mode? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=864952
[18:08] <Abed> LhiQure:damn it i liked that web
[18:08] <Will__> For someone else: I've tried installing Ubuntu on my computer on numerous occasions. It seems to install correctly, but upon reboot there's just a message saying "missing operating system". Can someone help with this?
[18:08] <cycom> daxroc: oh, you might have to edit your samba.conf.  I thought that the CLIENTs were ubuntu.
[18:08] <macd> Kane1, at a terminal "chmod +x quakeinstallerfilename.run"
[18:08] <LhiQuer> Abed, you;re forgetting something
[18:08] <hadouken> Will__: np
[18:08] <debasys> Abed, i have compiz,
[18:08] <Abed> LhiQuer:yeah i guess remind me plz
[18:09] <cycom> daxroc: chances are that samba is set to share them as read only
[18:09] <Slart> silados: hmm.. I'm not sure then.. I've never actually changed the default source/sink.. I just remember seeing something about it in the menus
[18:09] <Kane1> macd, ytmd
[18:09] <LhiQuer> Abed, debasys, you also need sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:09] <cycom> daxroc: check out /etc/samba/smb.conf on your host machines
[18:09] <AngryElf> Slart: I've got a bunch of drives tied up in an MD array, so the hard drives are accessed through /dev/md0 -- not /dev/sd*
[18:10] <silados> Slart: well thanks anyway.
[18:10] <cycom> daxroc: there's some lines about permissions being auto-set to 700 for security reasons.
[18:10] <Abed> LhiQure:yeah right sorry i forgot it lol
[18:10] <debasys> LhiQuer, ok. and then will i be able to reduce fonts sizes or something?
[18:10] <silados> does anyone know how to change the boot order of soundcards ?
[18:10] <Will__> For someone else: I've tried installing Ubuntu on my computer on numerous occasions. It seems to install correctly, but upon reboot there's just a message saying "missing operating system". Can someone help with this?
[18:10] <LhiQuer> debasys, should do
[18:10] <Slart> AngryElf: ah.. well.. you'll have to search for files using anything on /dev/md* too then
[18:10] <jimcooncat> Will__: Can we rule out hardware problems, esp. hard drive physical problems?
[18:10] <fantomas> Is there a simple command which beeps? Very simple
[18:10] <debasys> LhiQuer, ok will try playing with settings
[18:10] <daxroc> cycom: samba is set to writable = yes, read only = No , and forced user, group for the owning user, I have also forced the create mask + dir mask  explicit for the share
[18:11] <julian_> howto fix this error: "SoftMac wx_set_mlme: we should know the net here"
[18:11] <cycom> daxroc: *shrug* got me then
[18:11] <putterson> Is it possible to directly copy my install to another drive...not as a backup but as my new hard drive?
[18:11] <debasys> hypn0, reply to pm :)
[18:11] <Abed> LhiQure:do u know how to expand my swap?
[18:11] <Slart> fantomas: well.. you could try.. tadaaaaa !!   beep
[18:11] <Slart> !info beep
[18:12] <fantomas> Slart: +1
[18:12] <Will__> jimcooncat, I'm pretty sure my hard drive is fine.
[18:12] <jimcooncat> putterson: system rescue cd worked for me, a bit to learn though
[18:12] <Slart> fantomas: of course you could use aplay/play to play a soundfile of your choice..
[18:12] <fantomas> Slart: no no no (David Blain)
[18:12] <fantomas> Slart: I need exactly beep :) [readin man]
[18:12] <jimcooncat> Will__: in what state is your hard disk at this time? does it boot to any OS?
[18:13] <putterson> jimcooncat, does it preserve all configuration?
[18:13]  * delcoyote hi
[18:13] <Will__> jimcooncat, no it won't boot to anything.
[18:13] <kristjan_eerik> I have a weird problem: my mouse isn't working. I have two mice (one is ps/2, the other is usb) and neither move. they both get power, I can see the laser working. I recently drove the computer in a car for about an hour and suspect this might be the cause. the ps/2 keyboard I have works perfectly on the other hand. how to debug this, how to fix it?
[18:13] <jimcooncat> putterson: yes, a bit too well actually. You may need to mess with drivers for any different hardware
[18:14] <jimcooncat> Will__: how about a LiveCD?
[18:14] <macd> kristjan_eerik, unplug one, and reboot
[18:14] <Will__> jimcooncat, I'm on it now.
[18:14] <shaffy> help anyone?  i have a very simple script that when loaded, should execute the two programs simultaneously. the problem, however, is that the second program executes only after the first program has been manually terminated.  http://pastebin.com/d79b09c81
[18:14] <putterson> jimcooncat, no new hardware except the hard drive, does it fix grub to work?
[18:15] <Slart> shaffy: do stardict &
[18:15] <jimcooncat> Will__: is this a regular i386 computer? got RAM?
[18:15] <kristjan_eerik> macd, I've tried, no help. and I don't use both at the same time, sorry if I expressed myself badly
[18:15] <Will__> jimcooncat, yeah i386 with 1GB of RAM.
[18:15] <Abed> i am outta thnx guys for everythin for now LhiQure and the rest
[18:16] <titanix88> Hello
[18:16] <titanix88> I got a problem with gnome. :(
[18:16] <macd> kristjan_eerik, other than verifying you in your bios enable usb mouse or whatever, no idea
[18:16] <jimcooncat> putterson: if you use LVM partitions, you'd need sfdisk that's on the system recscue cd. otherwise, see the website and docs on using partimage. You'll probably need to burn two cd's to do this -- I had to.
[18:16] <LhiQuer> !ask | titanix88
[18:17] <jimcooncat> Will__: So what happens when you try to install?
[18:17] <shaffy> Slart: thank you very much!
[18:17] <WahbeN> My first time in this chan.... are most of you users or also developers?
[18:17] <Slart> shaffy: you're welcome
[18:17] <Slart> WahbeN: users
[18:17] <titanix88> every time i logout, my theme resets. But in the appearance menu my selection remains selected.
[18:17] <Slart> WahbeN: some developers too.. but mostly users, afaik
[18:17] <WahbeN> neat! well so am i
[18:17] <WahbeN> .. user i mean
[18:18] <kristjan_eerik> macd, okay thanks. also I don't seem to see any messages in dmesg from my tv-card, however I do see it via lspci
[18:18] <Will__> jimcooncat, it installs fine, and when done goes to that screen that ejects my disk then I have to close the tray and press enter, then my system reboots. Then it reboots with a black screen with white text that says "Missing operating system".
[18:19] <Will__> jimcooncat, it goes to the computer's main screen first then that text.
[18:19] <jimcooncat> putterson: System Rescue CD is a live CD, so you can boot both computers with it and use partimage to move the partitions across.
[18:19] <Gost202> i need help to set up sound card on my notebook.... im desperd!!!
[18:19] <titanix88> every time i logout, my theme resets. But in the appearance menu my selection remains selected. Any help?
[18:20] <jimcooncat> Will__: I'm at my end here, but you have one of: MBR problem, BIOS problem, or GRUB problem.
[18:20] <putterson> jimcooncat, I'm not sure you understand my dilema. I just got a new hard drive and I want to move everything to the new one and be able to take out the old one. Will system rescue cd do that?
[18:20] <Kane1> i just installed the quake wars demo but cant find it in the directory or the games list, any ideas?
[18:20] <RandallG> anyone have a quick second for a general linux question?
[18:21] <jimcooncat> putterson: yes, but you could use an Ubuntu live cd for that as well. Sorry, I thought it was two computers.
[18:21] <titanix88> RandallG: YEs. :)
[18:21] <Will__> jimcooncat, I know it's not the disk because I did a check on it in the CD's boot screen, and everything was in there,
[18:21] <TornadoChas3r> Hello
[18:22] <RandallG> i ssh into a box at work, is there a way i can kill/restart tty1?
[18:22] <jimcooncat> putterson: you can use dd for that -- sorry I don't know the syntax
[18:22] <crobian> RandallG: ps aux | grep tty
[18:22] <crobian> get the pid, kill -9 it
[18:22] <putterson> jimcooncat, I think I need help fixing the bootloader and it is a somewhat special case so I can't find any guides on it. Could you help?
[18:22] <Kane1> i just installed the quake wars demo but cant find it in the directory or the games list, any ideas?
[18:22] <jimcooncat> putterson: that is, boot the live cd and copy the partitions using dd
[18:22] <Slart> Kane1: sudo updatedb; locate quake
[18:23] <crobian> Kane1: find / -name quake*
[18:23] <Will__> jimcooncat, would it be good to just find some sort of program that could wipe my hard drive, and then I could try to re-install Ubuntu?
[18:23] <AliRezaTaleghani> hi, what was the command, which retrive my all shell varibales
[18:23] <AliRezaTaleghani> ?
[18:23] <Slart> AliRezaTaleghani: env ?
[18:23] <crobian> AliRezaTaleghani: set
[18:23] <RandallG> cool, thanks all.
[18:23] <TornadoChas3r> I need Help. I have a server wich i give hosting so i need to fix this fast anyway. We just had a power outage that had knocked out one of my netowkr cards So i replaced it and now Ubuntu wont boot it hangs on the process  Avhi-daemon. Then after a Few Min it gives some error messages I dont knwo what to do can nay one help me? (:
[18:23] <titanix88> every time i logout, my theme resets. But in the appearance menu my selection remains selected. Any ideas?
[18:23] <AliRezaTaleghani> Slart: yea, tnx :)
[18:23] <jimcooncat> Will__: the partitioner can wipe your disk for you
[18:24] <jimcooncat> putterson: what's strange about your bootloader?
[18:24] <Will__> jimcooncat, can you walk me through this?
[18:24] <crobian> Will__: just get the 'wipe' utility
[18:24] <crobian> and do wipe /dev/sda or whatever is your harddrive from a live cd
[18:24] <Slart> wipe is a bit overkill if you just want a clean hard drive for a reinstall..
[18:24] <jimcooncat> Will__: I'm sorry, I can't be liable ...
[18:24] <Slart> but sure.. it will work =)
[18:24] <crobian> Slart: he can use the Gedit LiveCD as well
[18:25] <crobian> which has a nice GUI and stuff
[18:25] <putterson> jimcooncat, well when I switch the drives the bootloader points to the wrong places
[18:25] <Kane1> slart/crobian, i updated db and its still not in the directory or games list, i dont kno the name of the file so how can i use locate or find?
[18:25] <Slart> Kane1: locate quake
[18:25] <crobian> Kane1: aptitude show quake
[18:25] <crobian> check if it's installed
[18:25] <\kG> hey can anyone explain or point me to some documentation on the encryption ubuntu uses for   setting up the encrypted lvm
[18:25] <Slart> Kane1: or check in synaptic where it installs files
[18:25] <putterson> jimcooncat, actually I may have just solved my problem
[18:25] <jimcooncat> putterson: it's starting GRUB, but the configuration isn't working?
[18:26] <zoreau> could someone tell me the commands to forn a net connection using my wired ethernet, and the commands to close any wireless connections I can see with iwconfig?  all these gui programs are pieces of crap that cant do sh!t right
[18:26] <putterson> jimcooncat, but you helped me understand what was wrong
[18:26] <TornadoChas3r> Can someone help  ?
[18:26] <\kG> does anyone know how secure the encrypted lvm is  and or what encryption algos are used?
[18:26] <jimcooncat> putterson, let me know if it worked please
[18:26] <crobian> \kG: AES and others probably
[18:26] <crobian> it's pretty secure i'd say
[18:26] <crobian> it's using LUKS/dm-crypt
[18:26] <\kG> i was tryin to google docs on it had no luck
[18:27] <Slart> TornadoChas3r: you might get some answers if you include the error message in your question
[18:27] <TornadoChas3r> I did
[18:27] <crobian> google for LUKS/dm-crypt and you'll find stuff
[18:27] <Bill_Walton> Greetings!
[18:27] <TornadoChas3r> i will say it again
[18:27] <\kG> crobian ;  do u have FULL harddisk encryption?
[18:27] <zoreau> scroll up
[18:27] <crobian> \kG: you can get it full, yes
[18:27] <crobian> without the /boot partition of course
[18:27] <\kG> yessir
[18:27] <\kG> thats what im looking for
[18:27] <crobian> you can mount that read-only, or put it on a usb stick or something if you're paranoid
[18:27] <jimcooncat> Will__: are you dual booting?
[18:27] <Bill_Walton> Just finished setting up a new box with a fresh install of 8.04.1 and am working to get Rails installed
[18:27] <crobian> and it's even tighter
[18:27] <Will__> jimcooncat, no, not trying to,.
[18:28] <TornadoChas3r> I had to replace Netowkr Card in My Server Which i was for hosting Now ubuntu wont boot it hang on the process avahi-daemon Can someone help
[18:28] <\kG> i was lookin at truecrypt but u need to format the drive ur encrypting   so im not sure what will happen ill have to reinstall ubuntu?
[18:28] <crobian> \kG: probably :) there is chances your drive wont work after though :)
[18:28] <Kane1> slart/crobian, unable to loacate package quake
[18:28] <crobian> Kane1: how did you install the game ?
[18:28] <Bill_Walton> getting an error message on apt-get install ruby-full per the ubuntu site
[18:28] <amenado> \kG-> why not try it and give us some insights of your experience afterwards?
[18:29] <Slart> TornadoChas3r: I will say it again. tell us what the error messages are or we won't be able to help you
[18:29] <jimcooncat> Will__: maybe just give the install another shot? would be easiest way to reformat the partitions
[18:29] <AliRezaTaleghani> :) again , Question || how can i install an old version gcc (ex:2.6.3) with apt-get?
[18:29] <Kane1> i did chmod +x filename and then ./filename
[18:29] <Bill_Walton> E: Couldn't find package ruby-full
[18:29] <AdrianStrays> Can someone tell me what the windows room is on IRC?
[18:29] <Slart> AdrianStrays: ##windows
[18:29] <AdrianStrays> Thanks
[18:29] <\kG> amenado ;  i dont really want to have to reformat again i doubt that it will work i mean if i format everything but /boot   im obviously going to have to reinstall the OS and that prob wont work anyways
[18:29] <Bill_Walton> anybody know what the prob might be?
[18:29] <Will__> jimcooncat, it would be useless. i've tried it too many times now.
[18:29] <crobian> AliRezaTaleghani: isnt there a force option for apt ?
[18:29] <crobian> i know rpm has that
[18:29] <[Revamped]> Adrian : i dont think you will find any windows room here
[18:30] <AliRezaTaleghani> crobian: i don't know, this is what i look for
[18:30] <amenado> \kG well you seem to be reluctant, then why keep asking same questions over and over, you have to take a first man
[18:30] <amenado> step*
[18:30] <crobian> AliRezaTaleghani: do 'aptitude' then
[18:30] <crobian> and read the options
[18:30] <TtyS2> irc is rather a big object asking like that
[18:30] <jimcooncat> Will__: a computer has more patience than we do lol
[18:30] <TornadoChas3r> I need to get this back up fast lol
[18:31] <\kG> was just curious if anyone might have any other suggestions for encryption .... i might just end up dual booting with xp so i can get full disk pgp encryption
[18:31] <jimcooncat> Will__: so it appears to install, but it goes badly when it tries to boot. Do I understand that right?
[18:31] <Slart> Kane1: check in the documentation that came with the demo.. or check the creators site.. it has to be there somewhere
[18:31] <amenado> \kG go ahead and try it, whats holding you?
[18:31] <Will__> jimcooncat, yes
[18:31] <crobian> \kG: you cant use PGP WDE
[18:31] <zoreau> which one of thesewill shut off my wireless connection on eth1 named 'default':  iwconfig default off     iwconfig eth1 off  ive got the syntax wrong somehow on each one though, it tels me 'off' is an unknown comand
[18:31] <Kane1> crobian, and i tried to install a second time in the same directory and it said the files were already there
[18:31] <Bill_Walton> anybody know why 'apt-get install ruby-full...' would fail with a 'Couldn't find package ruby-full'?
[18:31] <crobian> not with a linux dual-boot environment
[18:31] <AliRezaTaleghani> crobian: all them are newer that 2.95 | i need oldest one (2.6.3) :(
[18:31] <Bill_Walton> Does that mean the repository's down?
[18:32] <\kG> crobian PGP WDE?
[18:32] <crobian> whole disk encryption
[18:32] <amenado> zoreau-> default is not the name of your nic
[18:32] <jimcooncat> Will__: so what happens when it tries, just a black screen? anything at all happen?
[18:32] <Will__> jimcooncat, my friend is helping me to re-format my main partition to NTFS, as it's not that format now and that is restricting me from re-installing windows
[18:32] <\kG> yes u can crobian
[18:32] <crobian> i'm in a big mess myself right now, trying to get a dual-boot encrypted setup running
[18:32] <zoreau> amenado: use eth1 then? and what is nic??
[18:32] <crobian> i have a fully encrypted ubuntu install
[18:32] <\kG> i have it on my desktop ...
[18:32] <TornadoChas3r> I had to replace a network acrd in my server and now it wont boot
[18:32] <jimcooncat> ok
[18:32] <amenado> zoreau-> network interface card
[18:32] <crobian> trying to figure out how to encrypt everything from windows and be able to use it from both OS's
[18:33] <\kG> pgp asks for password than  the ubuntu bootloader loads after u enter pass   crobian
[18:33] <crobian> TrueCrypt might be a solution, but it wants to format each volume
[18:33] <crobian> \kG: have you tried it ?
[18:33] <\kG> it works on my desktop
[18:33] <crobian> hmm..so it doesnt require chainloading ?
[18:33] <crobian> (modifying grub)
[18:33] <\kG> no i didnt have it
[18:34] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> what kind of errors if any?
[18:34] <crobian> it's great to hear that i guess
[18:34] <crobian> because i have a pgp license anyway
[18:34] <\kG> i used partition magic to create 2 extra partions for my swap and /      and it works fine   on boot asks for pgp passphase than if correct nix bootloader loads
[18:34] <TornadoChas3r> amenado:it hangs on the process avahi-daemon  thne after it gives me a bunch of errors
[18:35] <crobian> are you able to use the windows partitions from the linux install ?
[18:35] <\kG> that i have not tried.
[18:35] <TornadoChas3r> i could send u a picture if u want to see
[18:35] <crobian> it'd be great if you'd try it
[18:35] <crobian> in theory it should decrypt the whole drive
[18:35] <zoreau> the syntax of iwconfig is:  interface essid {NNN|any|on|off}  the interface essid is eth1 then?? 'iwconfig' says ESSID:'default' next to eth1--what exactly is this the essid of then??
[18:35] <vox> how do i tell mdadm to re-examine a disk that it has stopped using because the controller died?
[18:35] <julian_> howto fix this error: "SoftMac wx_set_mlme: we should know the net here"
[18:35] <\kG> its on the fly encryption so it should work fine.
[18:35] <crobian> yep
[18:36] <crobian> it'd be nice if it worked as you say, because i can have 2 layers of encryption then
[18:36] <crobian> 1 from dm-crypt/LUKS and 1 from PGP
[18:36] <\kG> u have dm crypt for linux partitions?
[18:37] <crobian> yes
[18:37] <crobian> i do
[18:37] <\kG> in theory u wouldnt need it.
[18:37] <crobian> yeah true
[18:37] <crobian> but i've got it set up already
[18:37] <crobian> and it makes me feel more secure
[18:37] <FloodBot1> crobian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:37] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, What are you trying to do?
[18:38] <zoreau> shut off my wireless manually
[18:38] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, sudo ifconfig interface down
[18:38] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: Is this a big problem to fix ?
[18:38] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, By just typing iwconfig you can find out what interface it is.
[18:38] <zoreau> interface == what? the eth1 name??
[18:38] <\kG> crobrian ; how did u acomlish encrypting everything but /boot  with dm crypt
[18:39] <luckyone> what do I need to do to use rsync to automatically sync a directory on my server with a directory on my desktop?
[18:39] <LordMetroid> Is 8.04 extraordinary sluggish as an operating system?
[18:39] <whileimhere> Hi I was wondering about the need for a swap drive. I have a Sempron with a gig of ram. Will I really ever need a swap drive and if so how big?
[18:39] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, Yes... eth0, eth1, wlan0, ath0, etc
[18:39] <LordMetroid> My old P4 laptop can't seems to handle it as fast as it could with 6.10
[18:39] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> ethernet right not wireless?
[18:40] <zoreau> Ahadiel_: it tell me 'unknown command 'down'"
[18:40] <zoreau> tells**
[18:40] <LordMetroid> Is there anything I could do to speed up the default installation?
[18:40] <nosto> herro
[18:40] <whileimhere> LordMetroid I see a decrease in system speeds as I upgraded version to version as well on my laptops.
[18:40] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, Show me what exactly you typed...
[18:40] <nosto> anyone super familiar with wine and its inner workings?
[18:40] <TornadoChas3r> amednado: Yes
[18:40] <zoreau> iwconfig eth1 down
[18:40] <vox> how do i tell mdadm to re-examine a disk that it has stopped using, and re-add it?
[18:40] <Ahadiel_> nosto, #winehq
[18:40] <nosto> ty!
[18:40] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, I just told you to use ifconfig
[18:40] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, sudo ifconfig eth1 down
[18:41] <zoreau> hah my bad
[18:41] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces  contents, then also  ifconfig -a; and /etc/resolv.conf
[18:41] <zoreau> but isnt ifconfig for WIRED interfaces? ifconfig doesnt report any wireless connections
[18:42] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: How am i going to get the file i can boot into ubuntu
[18:42] <amenado> zoreau-> nope, it can be also used for wireless
[18:42] <genii> zoreau: ifconfig shows all interfaces, wired or woreless
[18:42] <kristjan_eerik> macd, the mouse started working when I turned the computer on its side..
[18:42] <genii> *wireless
[18:42] <Ahadiel_> zoreau, However you cannot set wireless specific things with ifconfig
[18:42] <\kG> whats the cmd line cmd to see ur listed partitions
[18:42] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> you can not boot at all? what did you say about sending a pics? can you paste that?
[18:42] <Ahadiel_> \kG, sudo fdisk -l
[18:43] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: i ment with a camera lol
[18:43] <\kG> ahadiel_ ; ty
[18:43] <LhiQuer> amenado
[18:43] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> can not boot at all? what errors is displayed?
[18:43] <LhiQuer> amenado, if anyone barges in with nvidia driver problems, point them to me ;)
[18:43] <TornadoChas3r> Well it fisrt hangs on the process  avahi-daemon
[18:43] <wamty> how can I set gnome as default while logged in?
[18:44] <wamty> kubuntu keeps popping up
[18:44] <amenado> LhiQuer-> alright, i sway them your way..thanks for offering to assist
[18:44] <wamty> I want to remove kde and kubuntu
[18:44] <genii> !puregnome
[18:44] <hou5ton> how about problems getting wireless to work on a Gateway MX6426 laptop with RTL-8185
[18:44] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> can you remove splash and quiet in your boot so you can see everything?
[18:44] <wamty> not gnome!
[18:45] <aware> Help me figure out why compiz stopped working?
[18:45] <bobertdos> wamty: First of all, in the login screen, there should be options in the lower left corner. In the Select Session screen, you can set Gnome as default.
[18:45] <TornadoChas3r> amednado: yes
[18:45] <wamty> should I do all this: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:46] <wamty> bobertdos: tried that, doesn't work
[18:46] <fhobia> hey guys, dspam doesn't start when rebooting...but i see it listed as S21dspam in my rc2.d and when i run it manually it works ...any ideas why it doesn't startup on reboot ?
[18:46] <genii> wamty: The default session is usually chosen from the login manager, as bobertdos just pointed out. No real way to "switch it on the fly" or so from inside
[18:46] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> please do and then if you can tell me the errors..
[18:46] <TornadoChas3r> There are a lot
[18:46] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: Could i send u a picture of the screen Or shoudl i type of out the errors?
[18:46] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> can you try to boot using liveCD?
[18:47] <bobertdos> wamty: Well, if you don't already have Gnome installed, of course it won't work. So yes, if you want to uninstall KDE and install Gnome instead, you can certainly do that.
[18:47] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: i dont have live cd its ubuntu server
[18:47] <wamty> do I need all this:
[18:47] <wamty> sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:47] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> if the picture is good enuff for us to view in a web site ..go ahead and paste it
[18:47] <sliverchair>  should I upgrade to Hardy Heron? I'm using Gutsy
[18:47] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: ok give me a min
[18:48] <genii> wamty: You want to do the install ubuntu-desktop first, then the removal of kubuntu-desktop after that
[18:48] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> i know its a server, am wondering though if it works okay with a liveCD..just to kind check things out
[18:48]  * octal is away:
[18:48] <wamty> ubuntu-desktop should already be installed ?
[18:48] <cobber2005> Anyone know a fix to flickering that happens after waking up from a suspend in Hardy?
[18:48] <Slart> sliverchair: if everything works for you there's no real need to update.. but sure.. if you want to use the latest and greatest then go ahead and update
[18:48] <wamty> or do I need to install it?
[18:48] <porncake> whats the best media player for ubuntu?
[18:48] <genii> wamty: If you have no Gnome then ubuntu-desktop is not yet installed
[18:49] <LordMetroid> This is damn slow...
[18:49] <Slart> porncake: I use a hex editor.. it's the best for me.. also see !best
[18:49] <LordMetroid> Can't work like this!
[18:49] <stmiller> porncake: I use VLC for everything
[18:49] <sliverchair> Slart, does most users upgrade?
[18:49] <amenado> sliverchair-> may I suggest a fresh install instead of upgrade? you may find yourself stuck if upgrade dont work out well
[18:49] <porncake> thanks stmiller
[18:49] <nosto> i'm having issues playing mp3s - any help? the "codecs" didn't work that this program downloaded
[18:49] <max39> ciao c'è 1 che parla italiano?
[18:49] <Slart> sliverchair: as far as I can tell most of the desktop users have upgraded
[18:50] <Slart> !it | max39
[18:50] <sliverchair> amenado, that's scary, I'm just a linux newbie, I'm having problems with firefox
[18:50] <max39> nn sò l'inglese ma ho un prob con ubuntu....
[18:50] <Slart> !en | max39
[18:50] <amenado> sliverchair-> not scary, just lots of time spent recovering..so save yourself a headache, if you have the space, fresh install to a new partition
[18:50] <wamty> i get
[18:50] <wamty> ERROR
[18:50] <LordMetroid> Eclipse takes forever to do anything!
[18:51] <wamty> The Panel encountered a problem loading

[18:51] <Slart> sliverchair: ah.. yes.. good suggestion there from amenado, try a live cd.. see if you like it..
[18:51] <wamty> asking me if I want to delete the applet from my configuration
[18:51] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: ok i got a picture can i paste it on the ubuntu paste board or w/e lol
[18:51] <amenado> LordMetroid-> what about Eclipse?
[18:51] <cobber2005> Anyone know a fix to flickering that happens after waking up from a suspend in Hardy on a desktop (not using nVidia)?
[18:51] <wamty> any idea?
[18:51] <sliverchair> amenado, how bout my current settings?
[18:51] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> give us the link and we will try to view it
[18:52] <TornadoChas3r> ok
[18:52] <Sylphid> !it max39
[18:52] <amenado> sliverchair-> on a fresh install, you dont need your current settings
[18:52] <vox> how do i tell mdadm to re-examine a disk that it has stopped using, and re-add it?
[18:52] <amenado> sliverchair-> or you can copy that later once you have a fresh install
[18:52] <wamty> i get an error when I log in:

[18:52] <FloodBot1> wamty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:52] <cottima> Hello, shouldn't I have a grub.conf in /boot/grub ?
[18:52] <LordMetroid> amenado, It is so slow it takes minutes for doing anything
[18:52] <wamty> OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet
[18:53] <wamty> what should I do?
[18:53] <amenado> LordMetroid-> how much ram you've got? what other apps do you have running at same time?
[18:53] <sliverchair> amenado, wine 1.1 only works with 8.04 right?
[18:53] <zaapiel> !search puregnome
[18:53] <zaapiel> well show it to me than
[18:53] <wamty> dsparil@dsparil-hovel:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[18:53] <zaapiel> you wanker
[18:53] <LordMetroid> I've got X-chat and Eclipse running
[18:53] <nosto> anyone know how to be able to use Wine sound + ubuntu sound simultaneously?
[18:53] <wamty> * Not starting GNOME Display Manager (gdm); it is not the default
[18:53] <Slart> sliverchair: wine 1.1 would probably work on any version of ubuntu
[18:53] <amenado> sliverchair-> i dont know, i have not really played with wine that much,
[18:53] <hou5ton> Basically, what I'm discovering is that it is not possible to have wireless on my Gateway MX6426 with RTL-8185???
[18:53] <Slart> !language | zaapiel
[18:53] <wamty> hmmmm. how do I set Gnome Display Manager as the default?
[18:53] <zaapiel> zaapiel: | puregnome
[18:53] <wamty> it seems to still be on kde
[18:53] <LordMetroid> Of course some background stuff such as the clock and X and so on too
[18:54] <zaapiel> wanker is bbc approved
[18:54] <zaapiel> for all ages
[18:54] <amenado> hou5ton-> really? why not?
[18:54] <Slart> !puregnome | zaapiel
[18:54] <LordMetroid> But it isn't the laptop that is flawed, it has worked fine before
[18:54] <Fallenou> wamty < uninstall kdm or kdm-kde4 and reinstall gdm ?
[18:54] <zaapiel> ty Slart
[18:54] <Fallenou> maybe with dpkg-reconfigure gdm after all
[18:54] <LordMetroid> Building of workspace it says all the time
[18:54] <genii> wamty: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm                        then if gdm appears as an option you can choose it there
[18:54] <Shish_> hey im new, and dont want to waste anyone's time here.. but i have basic questions i would like answered...lol..am i in the right place?
[18:54] <sliverchair> amenado, how do I reinstall firefox? I doesn't start even if I restart my pc
[18:54] <Slart> Shish_: you're in the right place, ask away
[18:54] <amenado> LordMetroid-> perhaps you didnt know, you are running a webapp server too when running eclipse, maybe you can kill that for now?
[18:55] <hou5ton> amenado:  I guess because I've worked on it for days, literally, and haven't accomplished it yet. HOwever, wireless work with a previous and older Ubuntu install.  I don't get it. Can you help?
[18:55] <genii> wamty: If it doesn't appear as an option, likely you don't have ubuntu-desktop package installed
[18:55] <Shish_> thank you slart!  was wonderin bout screenlets.. havin problems keepin the items up
[18:55] <cobber2005> Looking for help with a screen flickering problem that happens after suspending/
[18:55] <amenado> hou5ton-> i will give it a shot, am responding to a few, so i maybe a bit slower
[18:55] <LhiQuer> GOOD NEWS! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/18/dell_adds_ubuntu_systems_updates_hardy_heron/
[18:55] <hou5ton> amenado:  I've checked all the docs I could find and tried installing the windows .inf, but it won't accept them.
[18:56] <Slart> Shish_: I had that too.. but lately it seems to work ok.. are you installing screenlets from the screenlets repository?
[18:56] <amenado> sliverchair-> you have to remove the old one and then install a new firefox
[18:56] <wamty> like this:
[18:56] <wamty> "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm"
[18:56] <max39>  malgrado abbia tentato d'installare la mia lexmark cosi come descritto nei vari forum e avendo scaricato i driver per la medesima non riesco a scompattare il file .rpm nemmeno installando alien che tra l'altro non completa tutta la procedura d'installazione
[18:56] <max39>  rispondimi in pvt grazie
[18:56] <amenado> hou5ton-> what kind of indications you get that your wireless card is even detected?
[18:56] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: ok i got the picture since my server is down i will upload to like image shack or something
[18:56] <Sylphid> !italy | max39
[18:56] <jazzkutya> what log should i check to troubleshoot keyboard layout switching problem?
[18:56] <Slart> max39: type /join #ubuntu-it   this channel is english ONLY.. you'll get kicked if you keep talking italian here
[18:57] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> okay, let us know when you have the link
[18:57] <sliverchair> amenado, apt-get remove firefox says it will remove ubuntu-desktop
[18:57] <LordMetroid> amenado, how do I kill that?
[18:57] <hou5ton> amenado:  If I go to Applications / System Tools / Device Manager, it will show it there.
[18:57] <amenado> sliverchair-> its okay to say yes..
[18:57] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: hope this helps http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/9214/1002889sl8.jpg
[18:57] <Slart> sliverchair: ubuntu-desktop is a "meta-package" nothing will be removed it you remove it
[18:58] <amenado> LordMetroid-> somewhere in the eclipse config perhaps ? a script is run when eclipse is started
[18:58] <LordMetroid> mhmm
[18:58] <LordMetroid> okay, I'll try that out
[18:58] <petteri_> hey!
[18:58] <amenado> hou5ton-> okay, go open a terminal and lets do things manually.. start with iwconfig wlan0
[18:58] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: hope ya got the picture lol
[18:58] <Shish_> yes from the repository.. i add the calendar, calculator,etc.. hit the f9 key, they show up.. then i restart my comp and hit the f9 key and nothins there.. just a dimmed screen...  ive checked the start at login option.. but still nothin'
[18:59] <hou5ton> amenado:  no such device
[18:59] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> am looking at it, is that where it gets stucked?
[18:59] <Slart> Shish_: huh.. what is the F9 key supposed to do?
[18:59] <Shish_> sorry, thats the hotkey assigned to show all the widgets on screenlets
[18:59] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: yes it just keeps displaying the same error over and over lol
[18:59] <Shish_> that i add
[19:00] <amenado> hou5ton-> oh try these commands with sudo at the beginning..  sudo iwconfig wlan0   am asuming the nic name is wlan0  to find out  type ifconfig -a
[19:00] <Slart> Shish_: ah.. what version of screenlets are you running?
[19:00] <Shish_> hmmmm
[19:00] <Shish_> 0.1.2
[19:00] <Slart> Shish_: you are talking about these, right? http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Information
[19:00] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> thats the only nic card you have? do you know if its working before?
[19:00] <pidginuser1> hi! is there a way to install ubuntu with 2.1 GB HD space? I don't want to install xubuntu because its filemanager cant mount samba servers and i am used to gnome and kde.
[19:01] <Shish_> slart:  exactly, not all of them, lol, but those are the ones im talkin bout
[19:01] <Slart> Shish_: same version that I have here then.. I don't have any problems so far with this version..
[19:01] <cottima> I have soft raid 1 and lvm.  I need help config/install for grub...
[19:01] <hou5ton> amenado:  still says no such device .... ifconfig -a gives two listings with data: eth0 and lo
[19:01] <amenado> pidginuser1-> seems to little space,
[19:01] <Shish_> slart: hmm... k...  thanks
[19:01] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: Well i had one it got fried when the power went out or it stoped working so i put another one i had it or i put 2 in booted it up and it froze on splash screen Then i did the recovery and this is where it hangs
[19:01] <pidginuser1> the HD is just too small. i can't change it because its not my pc
[19:02] <amenado> hou5ton-> and with ifconfig command does it list eth0 as wireless?
[19:02] <Slart> Shish_: one thing you could try is to totally remove your screenlets installation "sudo apt-get remove --purge screenlet.*"  and try reinstalling
[19:02] <Slart> Shish_: but there's no guarantee it will work better
[19:02] <hou5ton> amenado:  eth0 is the cable internet access
[19:02] <sliverchair> amenado, reinstalling firefox won't do. How do I kill firefox process?
[19:03] <Shish_> slart:  no i understand, thanks.. could i just do it through the repository? the complete removal?
[19:03] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> nic card are dirt cheap now, you may have to go out and grab another,  btw again try with liveCD if possible to just spot check
[19:03] <Slart> Shish_: if you installed the software using the repos it can be uninstalled using the repos
[19:03] <amenado> sliverchair-> ps aux|grep firefox  and once you find the pidnumber   kill -15 pidnumber
[19:03] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: ya i will try but there are two it does it with i replaced it with one more and it wont boot i will try it with them both out
[19:03] <Shish_> slart:  perfect, yea thats what i did.. thanks again, appreciate the patience and help!
[19:03] <Slart> Shish_: no worries
[19:04] <Shish_> slart:  u'll be seein me on here more often with tons of questions! lol
[19:04] <Shish_> peace out
[19:04] <Slart> Shish_: sure, you're welcome
[19:04] <amenado> hou5ton-> it seems your driver does not work with your wifi card yet..  do a  sudo lshw -C network and paste it in pastebin
[19:04] <Mic__hael> I have a kernel 'vmlinuz' file in my / directory... probably something I downloaded a long time ago... I guess it's safe to delete?
[19:05] <[agatha]> hello all i am in trouble, i have tried to update twice today to 8.04, both times gets stucked on "generating locales"
[19:05] <[agatha]> and no way to pass thru that
[19:05] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> yes try them without a network card, just to see i fyou can boot
[19:05] <[agatha]> anyway has any clue?
[19:05] <pidginuser1> in openSUSE you can select the packages you want to install - is there a way to do this in ubuntu, too? because i need to put it on a 2,1 GB HD
[19:05] <amenado> Mic__hael-> yes its safe
[19:05] <Mic__hael> amenado: thanks
[19:06] <Slart> pidginuser1: you could try !aptoncd
[19:06] <pidginuser1> where do i type that?
[19:06] <pidginuser1> !abdoncd
[19:06] <Slart> pidginuser1: oh.. now I understand.. you mean like a minimal install?
[19:06] <pidginuser1> yes
[19:06] <Slart> !minimal | pidginuser1
[19:06] <pidginuser1> ah cool thanks a lot
[19:07] <Slart> you're welcome

[19:07] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: YES IT BOOTS without the cards but i have a question is it possible that the pci port indise the computer could be fried out ?
[19:07] <Sydero> Why isn't the default DE for Ubuntu KDE instead of Gnome, and they can call the alternate Gubuntu
[19:08] <Slart> Sydero: rants in #ubuntu-offtopic, please =)
[19:08] <Sydero> even Linus said KDE is better
[19:08] <Sydero> fine :(
[19:08] <amenado> sliverchair-> am glad you were able to resolve it
[19:09] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> its not an impossiblility
[19:09] <Algyz> Sydero:  don't have another God except kernel ;)
[19:09] <zaapiel> heathen
[19:09] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> or you really just have a bad nic card, get another for about 10 bux or so
[19:09] <TornadoChas3r> ya
[19:09] <GodSyn_BB> why isn't (noun) called (noun) and (alternate noun) called (noun)? Because the majority chooses it.
[19:10] <TornadoChas3r> amenado:but it did it to both my vards that where working fine yesterday lol

[19:10] <sacamano> Hey, does anyone know that cool program that came out a bit ago where it charts the suns path throughought the year for all these locations?
[19:10] <sacamano> Solaris or something?
[19:10] <amenado> hou5ton-> see if your rtl-8185 is listed on the blacklist, perhaps the driver is blacklisted therefore it is not loaded
[19:10] <hou5ton> amenado:  how do i do that?
[19:10] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> only way to find out..get another working card :)
[19:10] <[agatha]> what means "configuring locales"?
[19:11] <Slart> sacamano: hehe.. good luck googling for it if it's called solaris.. =).. you don't mean one of those solar system simulators?

[19:11] <sacamano> *astronomy

[19:15] <hou5ton> amenado:  no ... not blacklisted .... the only thing listed in the blacklists (I checked them all) that had anything to do with internet was blacklist eth1394
[19:15] <sacamano> Yeah, Celestia isn't it. I'm a professor at a university and I used it a year ago in one of my classes but I cannot remember the name!
[19:15] <sacamano> I'm a professor who uses Ubuntu too. :)

[19:21] <cL1n1c4lB34R> Hi everyboxy
[19:21] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> perhaps you can help me out...i am tutoring some kids, and we may need a site that can host a paste of url, to pass between the tutor and tutoree... we will be using scriblink.com to draw...but need a way to pass url so we both can view same url
[19:21] <cL1n1c4lB34R> hello
[19:21] <hou5ton> amenado:  nothing there
[19:22] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: I would be happy to host one
[19:22] <hou5ton> amenado:  in either place ..... that looked like it had anything to do with the issue
[19:22] <amenado> hou5ton-> so which driver are you using?
[19:22] <hou5ton> amenado:  the driver is the issue, I think. I can't get a driver to work for it.
[19:23] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: http://tornadochas3r.biz i am sure i can get u a simple site u can use
[19:23] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> okay, just a basic web where lets say i get a url from scriblink, and then i tell the kid to visit your site after i paste the url there so he can then copy it to his browser and we can then work on a tutorial
[19:23] <crakrjak> does 8.04 runs ootb on a eeepc?
[19:23] <cygoku> I am compiling a lot of stuff for myself and I am creating DEB for each of them for better reinstallation after a format, is there any "official" place where and could host and share them with the community so then could be easily found by mambers/users ?!?!
[19:24] <amenado> hou5ton-> hang on, let me look around my reference to see if i have anything on rtl8186
[19:24] <Pici> !ppa | cygoku
[19:24] <jager> so cursory google searching tells me there is no easy gnome specific way to do cpu stepping when in battery mode, does this jibe with what you guys know?  it seems like a pretty big problem to have no solution at all :(
[19:24] <TornadoChas3r> amenado: go head and talk to me more if u want on skype Msn or what ever and or email me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>i would be happy to help ya out
[19:24] <Chousuke> cygoku: are you using checkinstall to do the debs?
[19:24] <TWP-SirStaal> Hello I recently installed 8.04 (were a ubuntu 7.1 before) and suddenly I can't watch anime anymore, but I still go the codexes, someone know what I should install more?
[19:24] <Slart> jager: you mean selecting the frequencey for the cpu? my laptop does that even on battery
[19:24] <cygoku> Chousuke : Yes I am using checkinstall, why ?
[19:25] <amenado> TornadoChas3r-> i will try to get my other box out of the shed, btw just curious, are you using virtualization for these services?
[19:25] <Chousuke> cygoku: then you shouldn't share your debs.
[19:25] <Chousuke> cygoku: they won't work properly on other machines.
[19:25] <jager> i'd like it to jump to 800mhz on battery instead of being at 2400 all the time
[19:25] <cygoku> Chousuke : Oh, why ?
[19:25] <Chousuke> cygoku: checkinstall is a hack to make local installs a bit more manageable.
[19:25] <TornadoChas3r> ameando: no. when i host people its on a shared server
[19:25] <jager> what app does that or you slart?
[19:25] <Chousuke> cygoku: it's not intended for making proper debian packages.
[19:25] <jager> i don't see it in the power management preferences
[19:26] <Slart> jager: well.. hang on.. let me check.. it might have done that since the install.. not sure if I had to install anything
[19:26] <xidryck> hi
