[11:58] <Hazem> how i can allocate size from ram to service running on ubuntu
[11:59] <ere4si> g0th: can you paste the file name as it appears?
 sjovan: http://rafb.net/p/Xc9w2K13.html
[11:59] <gregory> Hazem: what do you mean with "service"?
[11:59] <Frogzoo> Hazem: that would be app specific, if it's possible at all
[12:00] <Hazem> Frogzoo, yes .. for example oracle database service
[12:00] <KalEl> Frogzoo, seems ok
[12:00] <gregory> Hazem: oracle should have a config of how much ram it is allowed to use
[12:00] <void^> g0th: scrolling up revealed you are talking about a file on fat32. mount with codepage=850 or similar.
[12:00] <Frogzoo> Hazem: with oracle you need to bump up shared memory etc. google for a usable /etc/security/limits.conf
[12:01] <g0th> how do I do that?
[12:01] <g0th> codepage=850 simply?
[12:01] <g0th> in fstab?
[12:01] <void^> unmount, mount -o codepage=850, see if it helps.
[12:01] <chi11y> hmm, I'm dualbooting ubuntu gutsy and windows xp, is it possible to use qemu to start the windows partition inside ubuntu, and if, how?
[12:01] <void^> i'm not actually sure about the codepage option, but i'm pretty sure it is _some_ charset related mount option.
[12:02] <gregory> Frogzoo: cool, is /etc/security/limits.conf part of Selinux?
[12:02] <g0th> it still fails
[12:02] <Frogzoo> gregory: dunno, certainly not the right chan to ask
[12:03] <void^> might also be iocharset. fat32 is simply a pain.
[12:03] <g0th> iocharcset what?
[12:03] <g0th> it still fails
[12:03] <g0th> hmm we eat I'll bbl
[12:04] <Gringo_> how do i change the keymap in the console? (outside of X)
[12:05] <chi11y> hmm, I'm dualbooting ubuntu gutsy and windows xp, is it possible to use qemu to start the windows partition inside ubuntu, and if, how?
[12:05] <gorthaug> Hi
[12:05] <MenZa> chi11y: Nope.

[12:05] <chi11y> MenZa, oh, bummer :(

[12:07] <MenZa> rahmen: That sounds odd. Mind you, I'm not an fglrx expert (NVIDIA user myself - thank God)
[12:07] <damo22> gorthaug: check alsamixer that its not muted

[12:09] <MenZa> openguru: Unless it's only overwritten the boot loader.
[12:09] <MenZa> !grub | openguru

[12:13] <Pulpie> ugh
[12:14] <Pulpie> joining here always takes an hour
[12:14] <MenZa> Doesn't for me.
[12:15] <Pulpie> MenZa: it was an overstatement...
[12:15] <Waistless> takes me 5 seconds using chatzilla
[12:16] <Pulpie> omg
[12:16] <Pulpie> it takes 3 using irssi
[12:16] <Pulpie> but i was joking cause I sync most channels in less then a second
[12:16] <Willlraja> FourX4luvn - you were helping me earlier install my usb modem - made progress need just a little more help
[12:17] <gorthaug> anybody can help me with my sound problem?
[12:17] <Gizmo_The_Great> Hi. Trying to find a simple hardware RAID monitoring tool - something that sits in the 'taskbar' with a green light when all is OK, amber when something wrong and red when something seriously wrong, or something similar. Does anyone know of such a utility?
[12:18] <damo22> gorthaug: alsamixer is tricky, you have to hit 'm' to mute/unmute
[12:18] <kjellviz> how do i change owner of a folder and all subfolders/files using commandline ?  i tried sudoing nautilus to set ownership and rights but it crashes every time (running hardy beta)
[12:18] <smacky> you know i was shock to find that ubuntu runs like a dream on my quad amd  with four gigs of ram I must say that the ubuntu team really did a hell of a job
[12:18] <MenZa> kjellviz: chown -R <user>:<group> <target>
[12:18] <gorthaug> damo22: the Line-in is unmute
[12:18] <kjellviz> MenZa: is group needed ?
[12:19] <damo22> gorthaug: ok sorry i dont know
[12:19] <MenZa> kjellviz: nope
[12:19] <gorthaug> damo22: when i unmute the Line-in i only hear noise
[12:19] <MenZa> kjellviz: you could chown it to that person's group. e.g. kjellviz:kjellviz
[12:19] <Gizmo_The_Great> kjellviz, I'm sure if you just go 'chown -R ted folder' that will work
[12:19] <foldart> smacky: that's probably what all the devs have got - so not so much of a shock really :)
[12:19] <Willlraja> i'm also trying to change the owner to allow a vodafone mobile connect application to access to /vmc/etc/ppp but it won't let me change the owner of the root directory
[12:20] <Harry_CooL> hai
[12:20] <kjellviz> ok thanks, i did the group too, hope it works =)
[12:20] <Gizmo_The_Great> kjellviz, I'm sure if you just go 'chown -R kjellviz folder' rather
[12:21] <stiffler> backports repository is supported by ubuntu ?
[12:21] <smacky> i know i was just saying sry
[12:22] <foldart> stiffler: ubuntu-backports is community supported but not Canonical supported
[12:22] <can> hello - how do I install the advanced desktop effects setup
[12:22] <foldart> smacky: ah ok, then I am too :)
[12:22] <can> well, i forgot its name
[12:22] <bazhang> can install ccsm
[12:22] <stiffler> foldart, is it safe to use?
[12:23] <can> bazhang what is ccsm
[12:23] <can> it wont show up
[12:23] <bazhang> !ccsm
[12:23] <ubotu> To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[12:23] <can> thanks
[12:24] <foldart> stiffler: yes, if you just install what you want from it, then disable the repository.  Don't have it enabled when updating the system.
[12:24] <can> bazhang: another question: desktop effects will run on single screen setup but it wont run on dual screen setup
[12:24] <stiffler> foldart, so.... I shouldn't update everything from backports?
[12:25] <balle> i have some major problem, i installed the non flash viewer to view flash, dunno what it\s called, but everytime i try to watch a video on youtube fx. my system freezes up, and i can\t do anything about it, and aperantly my keyboard has switched from danish to american, any thought_
[12:25] <zainerkin_> what is the shortcut key to swap over to your second desktop in Ubuntu please
[12:25] <foldart> stiffler: no, just use it to install a particular backported package that you want, then disable
[12:25] <zainerkin_> what is the shortcut key to swap over to your second desktop in Ubuntu please
[12:26] <balle> zainerkin ctrl plus alt and right&left arrow
[12:26] <foldart> zainerkin_: ctrl-alt-rightarrow
[12:26] <zainerkin_> thankyou
[12:26] <bazhang> can the twinhead or the xinerama? you can /msg ubotu xinerama (or twinhead) for instructions links for that
[12:26] <stiffler> foldart, ok thanks for info ;)
[12:26] <balle> i have some major problem, i installed the non flash viewer to view flash, dunno what it\s called, but everytime i try to watch a video on youtube fx. my system freezes up, and i can\t do anything about it, and aperantly my keyboard has switched from danish to american, any thought_
[12:26] <foldart> stiffler: yw :)
[12:26] <GullyFoyle> that must be the Gnome keyboard shortcut
[12:27] <foldart> GullyFoyle: yes
[12:27]  * foldart assumes Gnome in #ubuntu
[12:27] <GullyFoyle> cuz I use flux
[12:27] <gregory> balle: what did you install? adobe flash player or gnash?
[12:27] <Gizmo_The_Great> balle, if I were you I'd go to the Flash website and donwload and install the RPM or deb package from them. I did and my flash works OK, but I did have problems using the one via Synaptic.
[12:28] <balle> gregory> the gnash one
[12:28] <Gizmo_The_Great> balle, yes, it was when I install gnash that I had problems. Get the 'proper' Adobe Flash for Linux from their website
[12:29] <foldart> flashplugin-nonfree usually works ok.  I haven't tried gnash.
[12:29] <bazhang> Gizmo_The_Great: the rpm? that might be tough..
[12:29] <balle> gregory> and i just need to like, un install it
[12:29] <balle> gizmo> yea, but i think i should uninstall the gnash one first
[12:29] <Gizmo_The_Great> balle, use your Ubuntu package manager to uninstall if you unsure
[12:29] <OonSuomesta> can anyone help me with my keyboard's volume switch-pad?
[12:29] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, ??
[12:30] <jack_spratt> OonSuomesta: you tried acme?
[12:30] <gregory> balle: you can do this via the packet manager
[12:30] <OonSuomesta> My keyboard is in event1, but that volume-switcher makes input only on event2
[12:30] <zainerkin_> whats the shortcut to open terminal
[12:30] <Gizmo_The_Great> Hi. Trying to find a simple hardware RAID monitoring tool - something that sits in the 'taskbar' with a green light when all is OK, amber when something wrong and red when something seriously wrong, or something similar. Does anyone know of such a utility?
[12:30] <bazhang> Gizmo_The_Great: ubuntu does not use rpm
[12:30] <zainerkin_> whats the shortcut to open terminal
[12:30] <balle> gregory> can\t i do it with the add&remove application thingy_
[12:30] <zainerkin_> please
[12:30] <Starnestommy> zainerkin_: I think you have to add one yourself
[12:30] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, I know. But you can convert and then install RPMs
[12:30] <OonSuomesta> jack_spratt: whats acme? If you mean the shortcut keys program, i doesnt detect when I turn it
[12:30] <zainerkin_> oh okay no probs thnaks
[12:30] <gregory> balle: is it blocked, because gnash is needed by other programs?
[12:31] <jack_spratt> zainerkin_: cttrl + alt + F2
[12:31] <bazhang> Gizmo_The_Great: alien is not a good thing to use or advise others to use
[12:31] <foldart> zainerkin_: none by default.  ctrl-alt-f2 then "gnome-terminal"
[12:31] <larson9999> i just don't get it.  i'd been having random locks up with both gutsy and fiesty.  more with gutsy.  after many hours on the forums trying lots of 'fixes', i got it down to only about 1 or 2 lockups a day.  i settled for that.  it so happened that when i was finally not disgusted with gutsy that i had an occation to try arch.  not one lockup in a month.  i figured mabye it was due to the fact i'd been upgrading vs installing refresh
[12:31] <larson9999>  with ubuntu.  so i installed gutys(and heron for fun) to see if that was it.  nope.  still get lockups.
[12:31] <OonSuomesta> can anyone help me with my keyboard's volume switch-pad? My keyboard is in event1, but that volume-switcher makes input only on event2
[12:31] <jack_spratt> OonSuomesta: erm I thought you jsut wanted to remap some multimedia keys
[12:31] <bazhang> zainerkin_: alt f2 terminal
[12:31] <balle> gregory> no but there is gnash and gnash common, which one should i delete_
[12:32] <foldart> zainerkin_: argh yes, alt-f2 sorry
[12:32] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, I wasn't advising. I was giving him options.
[12:32] <gregory> balle: both
[12:32] <rym> Question, I want to tar a complete folder via terminal
[12:32] <rym> how can i exclude certain files from within the folder
[12:32] <Ubuntu-fan> Hey all, I have a problem... I erased a folder I do need after all, I am using Ubuntu 7.10   any way to recover that file in bash, or any software for Ubuntu that can recover deleted files / folders (trash is empty)
[12:32] <rym> basically what i like to do is tar xczf test.tgz * <exclude certain foldes>
[12:32] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, i did say 'rpm or deb' because I couldn't remember what the site makes available for download.
[12:32] <stiffler> foldart, hmm... also I have gutsy-proposed repo, should I have it enable?
[12:32] <GullyFoyle> larson9999: Arch is teh pwnz0r. once I tried it I never went back.
[12:33] <OonSuomesta> can anyone help me with my keyboard's volume switch-pad? My keyboard is in event1, but that volume-switcher makes input only on event2. I've tried xev, but it doesnt show anything. cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60719/ <-- Look at the rows 22-32
[12:33] <gregory> Ubuntu-fan: theoretically yes, but very difficult
[12:33] <GullyFoyle> larson9999: but Arch is more for intermediate linux users, ubuntu is geared more for beginners
[12:33] <Ibback> HELP!!!. i upgraded from ubuntu 7.10 to hardy and and compiz is not functioning properly and system->administration->software sources is not running and stated that "Not all updates can be installed" only partial update is allowed and when i click on the partial upgrade button it return the error "cannot upgrade "an upgrade from Hardy to gutsy is not supported with this tool"....PLS HELP!!!!!
[12:33] <foldart> stiffler: only if you're happy to be a tester of packages prior to their release
[12:34] <ki> ubuntuuuu!
[12:34] <ki> long time no see
[12:34] <balle> gregory> it is done
[12:34] <balle> chcking
[12:34] <Ubuntu-fan> gregory: Well do you know of a tutorial, or do you have time and are willing to walk me through it ?
[12:34] <larson9999> GullyFoyle, the reason i decided to give ubuntu a go on this one machine is that the other 2 i converted to arch were faster than ubuntu.  but one of the laptops wasn't.  and i like ubuntu for 'political' reasons.  so i want it to work for me.
[12:34] <Ubuntu-fan> gregory: Cuz I don't really know what I am doing
[12:34] <foldart> !undelete | Ubuntu-fan
[12:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu-fan: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Remember that it's tricky to recover deleted files from your journalled !filesystem, and you should keep !backups of important data.
[12:35] <OonSuomesta> well, I think its better for me to go to the forums since here I can't get any reply.
[12:35] <balle> gregory> thx, that hit the spot
[12:36] <balle> gregory: fixed my keyboard as well
[12:36] <gregory> Ubuntu-fan: i cant walk you through, sorry. recovering is some sort of cia job, well sort of. you can power down the computer and then reboot it with a special recover cd (touching the harddisk in read mode only). unless the data is not of $$$$'s value you should try to live it: its gone. try better next time :-(
[12:37] <larson9999> what's the command for undeleting files?  "cp /from/your/backup/silly" :)
[12:37] <gregory> larson9999: true
 sjovan: http://rafb.net/p/Xc9w2K13.html
[12:37] <Ibback> Hellloooo.....is there any1 that can help me out pls
[12:37] <Starnestommy> Ibback: try #ubuntu+1
[12:38] <g0th> re
[12:38] <Ibback> ok. thank
[12:38] <g0th> so I still have my problem with the strange file names
[12:39] <Ubuntu-fan> larson9999: Well it wasn't my file, I just copied it over, and thought I could delete it afterwards, but the person I copied it form thought I would still have it, and deleted it off her Camera
[12:40] <Gizmo_The_Great> No one know of a RAID tool that gives a GUI feedback?
[12:40] <Ubuntu-fan> and yes I have told her to use a recovery tool on her SD Card, but I wanted to see what I can do to recover it off of my computer
[12:41] <larson9999> Ubuntu-fan, sorry.  i was just half joking.  we've all lost files we just created or should have backed up but didn't.  still never a bad time to be reminded how important it is to backup.
[12:41] <balle> i can't find the right settings for my screen, anybody got a clue? it's currently running on custem 800x600 and no matter what else i choose it can't seem to get it right, anybody got a clue to what i should do?
[12:41] <Ubuntu-fan> larson9999: true ;)
[12:41] <bazhang> balle: what card and what drivers and how were they installed?
[12:42] <Gizmo_The_Great> Ubuntu-fan, easiest way to recover a few files from a system\disk\card with only a few files on it (less than 500) is to use FTK Imager from www.accessdata.com. It's free and easy to use, although it does only run in Windows
[12:42] <balle> bazhang: nvidia 6600go, no drivers installed what so ever, last time i did that, i had to reinstall ubuntu, but when i do it seems to run fine in 1200x7someting but i tried to hook up my ekstra screen and it just whent nuts..
[12:43] <Ubuntu-fan> Gizmo_The_Great: problem is I don't have the card, the person who the card belongs to has the card... and I already sent her a link to this other software for picture recovery, but if that doesn't work, I'll send this link her way, thanks
[12:44] <hischild> how can i see how much space a folder uses?
[12:44] <bazhang> balle: this is gutsy, right? have you checked the restricted drivers manager for the appropriate drivers for that card?
[12:44] <Gizmo_The_Great> hischild, df folder
[12:44] <Starnestommy> hischild: du -h file/folder
[12:45] <Gizmo_The_Great> hischild, sorry - du as Starnestommy says
[12:45] <balle> bazhang: yes it is, the last time i enabled the restricted drivers, my screen messed up, and i got like 4 small screens with 8 cursers on top of each other
[12:45] <hischild> Gizmo_The_Great, Starnestommy, thanks :-) works perfect
[12:45] <Eko_Hermiyanto> is it possible to run mac os x on top of ubuntu?
[12:45] <balle> bazhang: i'd rather check my other options first..
[12:46] <ki> penguins with fangs!!!!!!

[12:47] <larson9999> Ubuntu-fan, uname -a

[12:47] <Ubuntu-fan> larson9999: thanks m8
[12:48] <larson9999> Ubuntu-fan, or uname -r if that's ALL you want to see
[12:48] <zepolen> where is the default codec location for xubuntu 7.10?
[12:48] <Jay_> Hi....Can I safely delete the fonts from mt "fonts:///" directory.?
[12:49] <egoleo> hey guys
[12:49] <unop> zepolen, it depends on the codecs -- the location for w32codecs would be /usr/lib/win32
[12:49] <AudioSenseCD> hi guys
[12:49] <gregory> Jay_: why would you want to del them?
[12:50] <AudioSenseCD> guys i need some it is possible psybnc works in ubuntu?
[12:50] <balle> i can't find the right settings for my screen, anybody got a clue? it's currently running on custem 800x600 and no matter what else i choose it can't seem to get it right, anybody got a clue to what i should do?
[12:50] <zepolen> unop: and to get the w32codecs?
[12:50] <Jay_> Heard that having too many fonts increases Start-up time....
[12:50] <Starnestommy> AudioSenseCD: yes, but I think you have to compile it yourself
[12:50] <gregory> Jay_: start up time of the os? or a specific program?
[12:51] <unop> !w32codecs | zepolen
[12:51] <ubotu> zepolen: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages

[12:52] <AudioSenseCD> Starnestommy: how and where can i DL what link?
[12:52] <unop> huangjs, what os does the laptop run?
[12:52] <gregory> Jay_: well thats true. still i would keep the fonts. unless you want to fix it afterwards booting from a live cd and manually copying them back
[12:52] <egoleo> i have installed skype on gutsy and when i make calls, i can hear my partner but i my partner cant hear me
[12:52] <egoleo> someone hlp me plse
[12:52] <huangjs> unop: not installed. the OS on the PC is 7.04, but I plan to install 8.04 on my laptop.
[12:53] <Jay_> Actually, I have some fonts which I seldom have use for.I am thinking about deleting them
[12:53] <zepolen> unop: totem wants cook.so - there is a cook.so in /usr/lib/win32 and it still cant see it
[12:54] <bazhang> balle you should take at that link first; if that does not work then we can try something else
[12:54] <unop> huangjs, you can setup a samba or nfs share on the laptop and access that share from one of the labs pcs -- then its just a matter of copying your files across to the share
[12:54] <zepolen> where does totem look for codecs on ubuntu 7.10
[12:54] <Starnestommy> AudioSenseCD: I think their site's down, but google says it's www.psybnc.at
[12:54] <huangjs> unop: ok, I'll try, thank.
[12:54] <locales> oi
[12:54] <unop> zepolen, install w32codecs .. that way, the codecs are registered and your players can utilize them
[12:55]  * arke is teh back
[12:55] <zepolen> unop: i am not allowed to use medibuntu
[12:55] <zainerkin> how can i found out the network interface name of my wifi card.
[12:55] <unop> zepolen, why not?
[12:55] <locales> anyone happen to know how to set java language support?
[12:55] <zainerkin> how can i found out the network interface name of my wifi card.
[12:55] <zepolen> unop: no changes to sources.list
[12:55] <unop> zainerkin, use the iwconfig command
[12:55] <Starnestommy> zainerkin: iwconfig or ifconfig
[12:56] <zepolen> whats wrong with knowing where the codecs are stored on ubuntu
[12:56] <Starnestommy> zepolen: they're stored in all sorts of random places, usually somewhere in /usr/lib
[12:57] <RioMerc> Hey ubuntu-ers
[12:57] <RioMerc> Question about Dual-screens
[12:57] <unop> zepolen, nothing wrong -- but have a read here - http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
[12:57] <RioMerc> Anyone want to take it on?
[12:57] <RioMerc> Well, I'd better tell you the problem
[12:58] <RioMerc> I've attempted to setup BigDesktop using a tutorial (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773544) and I've had no success
[12:58] <RioMerc> Just the normal cloned desktop layout, with the exception that one monitor's refresh rate is fixed
[12:58] <zepolen> unop: i have read that - but have no idea which path the mplayer package on ubuntu was --configured with
[12:59] <[BT]JaC> hi there, what do i type into apt-get to install all the standard stuff
[12:59] <unop> zepolen, chances are that if you have no write access over /etc/apt/sources.list, you also have no access to place codecs in /usr/lib/win32  .. do you have write access to that directory?
[12:59] <chazco> Hi... is it possible to backport a driver from Hardy to Gusty? (TV card). Also, is it possible to install the nvidia driver that the restricted manager installs from the command line?
[12:59] <unop> zepolen, mplayer codecs go in /usr/lib/win32
[12:59] <balle> that didn\t work
[13:00] <zepolen> unop: totem doesnt see the cook.so it complains about which is in /usr/lib/win32
[13:00] <[BT]JaC> hi there, what do i type into apt-get to install all the standard stuff
[13:00] <balle> i apperently have no gnome manager running, how do i get that_
[13:00] <Starnestommy> [BT]JaC: it might be sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:00] <[BT]JaC> huh
[13:01] <[BT]JaC> i mean to install all the standards for ubuntu
[13:01] <unop> zepolen, cook.so might have other dependencies that are not available, which is why i suggested you install the package in the first place -- but you dont seem to be answering the questions i ask, so i'm not sure how i can really help you.

[13:10] <zainerkin> the wireless card in question is ath0
[13:10] <unop> zainerkin, you see your iwconfig output -- eth1 lists the various settings around wireless -- therefore eth1 is your wireless interface

[13:12] <zainerkin> http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=newbie_guide
[13:12] <unop> balle, usually, you don't no
[13:12] <zainerkin> “rausb0” is the network interface (nic) name. If you are using a different WLAN device than a rt2570 you'll have to use a different nic name. Take a look in the documentation of the nic driver.
[13:12] <unop> balle, go with no
[13:12] <balle> thx
[13:12] <unop> zainerkin, i dont see a problem
[13:13] <unop> daya, i think the only option you have is to upload all the individual files from the tar.gz archive individually -- although, you might be able to use something like ncftp to upload an entire direcrory's contents at a time
[13:13] <zainerkin> thanks for the commands but its not what I am after its not you its me I can not expalin it. I have pasted a link of the tutorial tham I am following which is vague

[13:34] <balle> jack?sparrow> yea, allright but how do i enable the new one then_
[13:35] <unop> balle, the new one is enabled

[13:35] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[13:35] <balle> unop> ahh.... and how do i do that, just a reboot or what_
[13:35] <unop> balle, that works -- but you can use -- sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, the livecd install always formats it/s own / root.. but not other partitions on the drive. as in seperate /home or /var..
[13:36] <balle> unop> last time, that meant a reboot
[13:36] <zainerkin> unop i explained it wrong its nic name in the tutorial but actually its the network cards logical nam.
[13:36] <marko-_-_> nobody ??
[13:36] <unop> mohi, try this -- dpkg -force-all -i package.deb
[13:36] <MiraiWarren0_0> Hi, I am trying to use my Wacom tablet in Ubuntu and although it was detected automatically and works to a degree, there are minor things, like pressure sensitivity, that do not work.
[13:36] <unop> mohi, err -- dpkg -force-all --i package.deb
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, the new one has the neame of the "In use" one.  if your changes did not stick then you are setting it up wrong.
[13:37] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: So... all I have to do is select "manual" on the partition screen and specify the logcial partition I am building right now as the root and the other partition will not be touched?
[13:37] <MiraiWarren0_0> Is there a way to fix something like that?
[13:37] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res.  Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults
[13:37] <hellues> again same mistakes
[13:38] <hellues> gdm empty filename
[13:38] <hellues> apt-get clean not work
[13:38] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, correct.  it will only force you to format whatever partition you chose for /root
[13:38] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: Nice!!!!
[13:38] <mohi> unop: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6011/
[13:38] <hellues> its boring
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, if you have enough for a second swap partition you can do that as it will eliminate one issue for hibernate/suspend etc.
[13:39] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: What do you mean? What issue?
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, It is hard to follow or answer questions and conversations that are only 3hee lines between enter keys.
[13:40] <hemp> hello guys. i have ubuntu 5.04 installed, is it possible to upgrade directly to 7.10?
[13:40] <bazhang> hemp: nay
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, if you have enough for a second swap partition you can do that as it will eliminate one issue for hibernate/suspend etc. If you dual boot, and hibernate one os and boot the other, you may be overwriting something in swap you wanted..
[13:41] <bazhang> hemp: that system is no longer supported; best to back up and install something more recent
[13:41] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: If I do not want to dual boot, will I have this issue?
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, no it wont work
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, no
[13:41] <hemp> bazhang, yea, i understand but 5.04 is the only version which actually booted
[13:41] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: I do not want to dual boot. I want to replace Suse.
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, may I suggest one thing...
[13:41] <bartmon> O hai!
[13:42] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: PLEASE :)! :)
[13:42] <bazhang> hemp: have you tried the alternate install for gutsy?
[13:42] <hemp> yep
[13:42] <dt84> jrib: thanks for the link, I'll look for interesting things in there
[13:42] <bartmon> Which Linux IRC client would you recommend for my sister who is a longtime mIRC user on windows?
[13:42] <bazhang> hemp: as well as the minimal installer?
[13:42] <hemp> BitchX! :]
[13:42] <cabrioleur> hemp, apply noapic nolapic to boot options
[13:42] <hemp> bazhang, yes
[13:43] <Starnestommy> bartmon: xchat
[13:43] <hemp> its well, and old laptop
[13:43] <roychri> bartmon: xchat
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, if you install full working system on a single partition you will not have any issuses as home will be inside root,  it is then a known working system so you can redirect from a working system to your old home as I think that is what you want to do eventually
[13:43] <hemp> a lot of installs wont boot simply
[13:43] <Waistless> bartmon: i'd recommend chatzilla
[13:43] <Nasra> Hi, can any1 tell me why when I click to watch a tv station it shows like in slow motiong ....is there anything I need to click to change / improve in order to correct this problem.....
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> bartmon, kvirc or konversation
[13:43] <jrib> dt84: in my opinion, vim is the nicest editor out there, but it takes some learning.  Some people seem to like emacs and kate too
[13:44] <bazhang> hemp: just saying it doesnt work is not much to go on; if you want help with installation issues then more info would be appreciated
[13:44] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: yes, that is what I want to do.  Once the install is finished, I will change it so that the home partition is using my existing/old partition.
[13:44] <pcbysurcouf> KIM VAN KIEU
[13:44] <cabrioleur> Nasra, what vo you're using?
[13:44] <bartmon> Jack_Sparrow: I use gnome so i prefe rnot to install qt unless reallly necessary
[13:44] <hemp> bazhang, i think what im gonna do is upgrade the existing install
[13:44] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, just pointing that option out,  It is easy to point to your old home during the install, but if there is a conflict you dont get a working system
[13:44] <bazhang> pcbysurcouf: english please
[13:44] <hemp> as i got it to detect all my hw and stuff
[13:45] <Nasra> Cabrioleur: it just streams out by itself by clicking here there....no idea.....
[13:45] <bazhang> hemp: then you are on your own as that is no longer supported
[13:45] <bLk-LaBeL> ubuntu rocks
[13:45] <Nasra> I have amarok ...but it does not connect togethere...
[13:45] <cabrioleur> Nasra, what software?
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> bartmon, just pointing out the two that have more of the look and feel you asked about  you can configure xchat to be quite nice
[13:46] <stiffler> somebody know how can I play amr files on ubuntu?
[13:46] <balle> is the VLC player any good, and how do i install it?
[13:46] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, it is appreciated.
[13:46] <Nasra> cabrioleur....how can I tell?
[13:46] <boris> hello
[13:46] <bazhang> balle:  sudo apt-get install vlc
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, upgrading from a release that is past the eol can be chaellenging
[13:46] <bLk-LaBeL> so much potential if only it wasn`t copyrighted
[13:47] <bartmon> Jack_Sparrow: OK, I dig. thank to all who recommended.
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, you sound like you have a good understanding of the process.  it will go fine
[13:47] <Polarina> bLk-LaBeL: Almost every software included in Ubuntu is copyrighted.
[13:47] <cabrioleur> Nasra, check in your options/preferences
[13:47] <boris> i just figured out my multimedia Mute and Sound + and - keys dont work. it could be because i recently put in a new sound card, however my old sound card is integrated. the reason for new card is that 1 speaker wasnt working, not it is
[13:47] <balle> bazhang: 42 MB?
[13:47] <balle> and that a bit much?
[13:47] <Nasra> used to watch it better a couple days ago.
[13:47] <dt84> jrib: thanks a lot, you game me a good place to start from. Kate is for KDE, right?
[13:47] <sorto> I've got a directory structure where there are 2 zip files in each subdirectory. How could I extract all zip files in all subdirectories?
[13:47] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: I have been using linux for 5+ years now, but my first time with ubuntu.  Tried many distro before, but I am not an admin, I am a user.
[13:47] <boris> now*
[13:47] <cabrioleur> stiffler, mplayer/vlc should be able to play it.
[13:47] <dt84> *gave
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> bLk-LaBeL, Did you have a support question
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, welcome to ubuntu
[13:48] <mohi> any idea please? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6010/
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound | boris
[13:48] <ubotu> boris: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[13:49] <bLk-LaBeL> sort of sorry for taking time, is C++ still the basis for programing+
[13:49] <Jack_Sparrow> mohi, where did you get your copy of apache2?
[13:50] <kirberich> hi there, if there's somebody with udev-experience here, I'm confused about a nonworking udev rule. The rule is KERNEL=="ttyACM*", RUN+="echo blubb > /tmp/blubb", but nothing happens when I plug in the device
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> blkno1, yes.. they should have a channel on freenode #C++
[13:50] <hemp> bazhang, i'm always on my own :]
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, do you have a newer release cd that would not install or boot for you?
[13:51] <hemp> yes
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> 6.06 or 7.04 perhaps
[13:51] <hemp> well i cant complain actually, i was too lazy to try booting those cds on other pcs
[13:51] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: i see 4 devices : 1.(ticked): CA0106 (Alsa mixer), 2.Intel ICH5 (Alsa mixer), 3.USB Device bla bla bla /Alsa mixer), 4. mixer 00 (OSS mixer)
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[13:52] <hemp> ok, thx, ill try
[13:52] <Polarina> hemp: To what extend doesn't it want to boot? What's the error message? How far does it boot before the fault?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> boris, Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh  #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh  ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions ..  then  /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file.
[13:52] <hemp> that laptop needs the acpi=off apm=on to get the net working
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, same here
[13:53] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: im getting sound, just my multimedia keys wont work, i can change sound with the button on my speakers
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !keys

[13:54] <mildner> anybody with ubuntu 8.04
[13:54] <Starnestommy> mildner: try #ubuntu+1
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> boris, If they worked previously with ubuntu, what changed on your system.. added a new sound card right?
[13:54] <hemp> 7.10 alternate cd shows ISOLINUX 3.36 Debian-2007 blahblah, then freezes up

[14:14] <krim> balle: There is no best. It's a matter of taste.
[14:14] <an_droid> KleRoi, perhaps it would be worthwhile if you have the resources to do so, to take the laptop to a company who specialise with laptops to give it a full cleanup and hardware check.
[14:14] <hellues> when i command apt-get clean and apt-get install k3b it downloaded something but after downlading same error come up
[14:14] <KleRoi> mmm ok, there's no way to control the fan speed with some ubuntu soft an_droid?
[14:14] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: yes
[14:14] <krim> cubexombi: My favourite it rtorrent, other good ones are Deluge, Transmission (which will be default in next version of Ubuntu), Azureus and kTorrent if you're using KDE
[14:14] <idefix> hi, when I would like to print I need to run the command 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install cupsys' everytime, how can I configure so it is not undone everytime I restart?
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and manually put it in the pastebin please
[14:15] <krim> cubexombi: Sorry that wasn't for you
[14:15] <unop> hellues, it looks like the packages apt is downloading are being corrupted somehow -- you might like to try using a different mirror or investigating connection problems
[14:15] <cubexombi> umm.. ok thats what I thought
[14:15] <gullstad> Hello. How can I mount a samba nettwork disc?
[14:15] <unop> hellues, but i have to go now -- perhaps someone else can help you on thta
[14:15] <cubexombi> (like my bittornado though,)
[14:15] <unop> that*
[14:15] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: what is the different between apt-get and apptitude "if im spelling it right" ive seen it a couple of time but dont know the difference
[14:15] <hellues> thank you unop
[14:15] <bazhang> hellues what is this root@ubuntu?
[14:15] <an_droid> KleRoi, I am not aware af any software that does so, however from my limited knowledge on issues dealing with over heating the only thing I can think of at this time is that you may be able to change the settings in your bios if they are available.
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Pirate_Hunter, next to no difference
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and manually put it in the pastebin please
[14:16] <KleRoi> allright, thanks for the help an_droid
[14:16] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: aptitude has a nice ncurses interface and remembers dependencies, so when you remove things it removes dependencies you no longer need (apt-get does something similar with "autoremove")

[14:16] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: does that app have a gui or is it terminal base?
[14:16] <DualBoot> Q: Is it possible to (temporarily, for the duration of the logon) disable the graphical / gksu password prompt?
[14:16] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: terminal

[14:17] <Pirate_Hunter> Jack_Sparrow: thanx
[14:17] <HinHin> KleRoi, what's the problem?

[14:28] <HinHin> hardy's new xorg 7.3 is very nice indeed
[14:28] <aoupi> hi, xbindkeys doesn't work, it complains that some other application is already using the keys (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60732/) how do I find out which?
[14:29] <an_droid> bazhang, Thanks for the link. I have located the information on the page that relates to my chipset but still am not sure how to configure it, would you mind helping me through some of the steps?
[14:29] <gligorhoria> urlwolf do you have xorg? copy the text and try mouse right click on the terminal
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> localadmi1, A diagnostic script that pulls driver and card info and puts it into a pastebin...
[14:29] <whileimhere> Never mind someone just PMed me with the answer
[14:29] <HinHin> FINALLY linux is getting some plug and play kinda functionality when it comes with monitors
[14:29] <localadmi1> ok cool
[14:29] <HinHin> (with Xorg 7.3)
[14:29] <urlwolf> gligorhoria: I can do that. right click pastes of course
[14:29] <urlwolf> but I want the more ordinary 'windows-like' ctrl c behavior
[14:30] <moveax1> whileimhere, what command you used? what was the error message?
[14:30] <hemp_> like you change monitors that often anyway
[14:30] <gligorhoria> urlwolf oh sorry then i don't know...
[14:30] <juragonx> hi
[14:30] <HinHin> urlwolf, what's the problem?
[14:30] <an_droid> bazhang, would you help me through some of the steps to configure the ad-hoc?
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, glad you like it...   please try to stay on topic
[14:30] <hellues> Jack_Sparrow,  what is fyi
[14:30] <balle> i can't even force mount my partition pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60733/   what is wrong?
[14:30] <jtravnick> will different video cards really make that much difference when looking at a web page?
[14:30] <HinHin> want to copy things in terminal?
[14:30] <moveax1> whileimhere, you want to add and delete files as normal user?
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, for your information
[14:30] <bazhang> hemp_: make sure your horizsync is set  31.5 - 48.5 and vertrefresh set to 50-70
[14:30] <hellues> hmm
[14:30] <urlwolf> I simply want to assign keyboard shortcuts, but there's no 'paste' or 'copy' options in the list of actions
[14:31] <hellues> but
[14:31] <an_droid> hellues, fyi stands for 'for your information'
[14:31] <hellues> i cannot install any package
[14:31] <RioMerc> Fike
[14:31] <RioMerc> I thought so
[14:31] <HinHin> Jack_Sparrow, It's not exclusively a support channel -_-
[14:31] <hellues> i cannot configure
[14:31] <balle> i can't even force mount my partition pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60733/   what is wrong?
[14:31] <hellues> what must i do
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, actually.. it is..
[14:31] <cyclonut> hey folks, my sound occasionally stops working. It appears to be primarily after I've used flash. Anyhow, I was wondering how I might restart the sound subsystems?
[14:31] <HinHin> and i am actually giving free help where i can to people
[14:31] <urlwolf> nobody here useing gnome terminal?
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, actually specifically it is support only,,  and NOT for users of HArdy.. specifically
[14:32] <SliMM> how can i make a shortcut similar to "ctrl+<up arrow key>" in gedit with python?
[14:32] <HinHin> Jack_Sparrow, i was making a short comment about it
[14:32] <HinHin> i don't use it
[14:32] <cyclonut> urlwolf, sure, I use it
[14:32] <RioMerc> Would anyone mind helping me set up my audio?
[14:32] <gligorhoria> balle cd /usr        mkdir win       mount /dev/sda5 win -ntfs
[14:32] <urlwolf> HinHin: I just want to copy and paste like in windows (or in xvfe terminal)
[14:33] <bazhang> an_droid: which steps in that link did not understand; specify please
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, and I tried to politely ask you to stay on topic as others were starting to comment on your comment
[14:33] <HinHin> urlwolf, you're using gnome right?
[14:33] <cyclonut> urlwolf, use ctrl + shift + v or ctril + shift + c
[14:33] <HinHin> you should be able to ctrl+c to copy text, in everything except bash terminal
[14:34] <Parsec300> balle, you need to create a directory in /media then mount it to that dir, not /dev/media/sda5
[14:34] <urlwolf> cyclonut: nope, it doesn't work
[14:34] <cabrioleur> balle, "sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs" and "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda5"
[14:34] <HinHin> (ctrl + c in bash terminals basicly stops the application)
[14:34] <bazhang> hemp_: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_on_a_ThinkPad_T21 please read
[14:34] <gligorhoria> balle and if you want the fat32 mounted you could use mount /dev/sda1 win -fat
[14:34] <RioMerc> I seem to be having great difficulty of late getting help around here :(
[14:34] <urlwolf> I'm running xvfe though
[14:34] <cyclonut> urlwolf, then, if you're using compiz, check to see if any of your shortcuts are set up to ctrl + shift + v
[14:34] <urlwolf> using  Multi Gnome Terminal
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[14:35] <Parsec300> balle it would be like 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/windows'.  Do you mean xfce?
[14:35] <cyclonut> dunno, gterm for me listens to ctrl shift c/v
[14:35] <urlwolf> xfce sorry :)
[14:35] <HinHin> ah thought that was a bit weird :P
[14:35] <HinHin> urlwolf, i'm using xfce as well ^^ you should be able too...
[14:35] <an_droid> bazhang, wlanmode ad-hoc does this mean that the card is now set to recieve connections / connect to .. my other computer?
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> RioMerc, What is your question.
[14:35] <urlwolf> are you using  Multi Gnome Terminal ?
[14:35] <DeadLy_sp> im under xfce4 too :D
[14:35] <urlwolf> :)
[14:36] <urlwolf> is compiz related to xfce?
[14:36] <bazhang> an_droid: did you read that link?
[14:36] <HinHin> urlwolf, i just use the default bash and zsh
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> urlwolf, no
[14:36] <urlwolf> oh, is a 3d thing
[14:36] <urlwolf> ic
[14:36] <an_droid> bazhang, yes, the link you pasted to me.
[14:36] <RioMerc> Jack_sparrow, I'm having some problems setting up sound, so far, not success
[14:36] <urlwolf> no I dont use it
[14:36] <HinHin> to copy things in terminal urlwolf you just need to highlight the text
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> RioMerc, have you been through the sound help link?
[14:36] <urlwolf> I know
[14:36] <RioMerc> Yes, Jack_sparrow
[14:36] <HinHin> you don't need to right click and press copy
[14:36] <urlwolf> but I want the more standard methond
[14:37] <urlwolf> ctrl c and ctrl v
[14:37] <HinHin> it'll auto clip it to the clip board
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> RioMerc,  for serious help..  Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh  #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh  ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions ..  then  /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file.
[14:37] <RioMerc> I noticed somthing about: Enable sound
[14:37] <RioMerc> server startup
[14:37] <urlwolf> xfce terminal does that fine
[14:37] <bazhang> an_droid: in your original question you mentioned ad hoc; thus the link I sent you--perhaps you could outline what you are trying to achieve and then we can see what the optimal method for achieving that
[14:37] <an_droid> bazhang, My network card on this pc says that it is connected with 100% signal to the other computer.
[14:37] <spyd3r> help--i recently upgraded from onboard memory to an ATI RADOEN X600 and now when i try to enable my desktop effects, i get a 'composite extension not available' error.
[14:37] <hemp_> bazhang, how do i do that? or that was something related to monitor changing, not all ubuntus failing to booot?
[14:37] <DeadLy_sp> i use gnome-terminal
[14:37] <spyd3r> **onboard video not memory
[14:37] <RioMerc> Ok, thanks
[14:37] <DeadLy_sp> i like more
[14:37] <urlwolf> I just want multiple windows (split) within a terminal, and only  Multi Gnome Terminal  does that I think
[14:38] <HinHin> ah! urlwolf like tabs?
[14:38] <urlwolf> no tabs, I have tabs
[14:38] <bazhang> hemp_: did you read the thinkwiki link yet?
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, did you enable restricted drivers for your video card..
[14:38] <urlwolf> but vertical splits etc
[14:38] <spyd3r> yes
[14:38] <an_droid> bazhang, thanks, yes good idea, The goal is to be able to use internet on my laptop by getting access through wireless ad-hoc connection with this main pc.
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, did you install xgl ?
[14:38] <spyd3r> no
[14:38] <HinHin> urlwolf, ah i see... sorry not familiar with shell setups like that
[14:38] <HinHin> personally i just put windows next to each other
[14:38] <BB4L> how do you configure the hto1 interface to connect to a network?
[14:38] <urlwolf> I did that before
[14:39] <bazhang> an_droid: this is a pc connected to a adsl modem? with or without a router between them
[14:39] <cyclonut> urlwolf: try terminator perhaps?
[14:39] <BB4L> etho1
[14:39] <urlwolf> but this solution is much better :/
[14:39] <urlwolf> terminator :)
[14:39] <hemp_> http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_on_a_ThinkPad_T21 -- found this, but the problem is not that X crashes on boot, but that it wont boot at all
[14:39] <HinHin> i might give it a try
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, The following may not be necessary... The modules may already be installed.
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager
[14:39] <hemp_> ok, today is probably not the day for it
[14:39] <HinHin> btw urlwolf ^^ you might want to give zsh a try
[14:39] <hemp_> happy easter (hope i did type it correctly) guys!
[14:39] <urlwolf> I use fish
[14:39] <urlwolf> I love it
[14:40] <HinHin> it's very similar with bash... but XD it's quite good with typos
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx              apt-get install xserver-xgl                         run fglrxinfo in a term
[14:40] <bazhang> hemp_: well if you delved deeper on that site you would see the solution is not that difficult
[14:40] <gullstad> How can I verify that a samba fileserver is up?
[14:40] <HinHin> gullstad, well can you ping the server first?
[14:40] <an_droid> bazhang, the pc is connected by ethernet cable to a d-link router/switch which provides internet to the main pc.
[14:40] <spyd3r> fglxinfo returns: display: :0.0  screen: 0
[14:40] <spyd3r> OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
[14:40] <spyd3r> OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X600 Series
[14:40] <spyd3r> OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6)
[14:41] <gullstad> HinHin: I know the server is up, but I dont know if the directory is configured right.
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, do NOT paste into the channel please
[14:41] <bazhang> an_droid: this router is wired only, correct? no wireless ability? which in turns leads to a adsl modem?
[14:41] <an_droid> bazhang, It is not an ADSL router, but an ethernet broadband router, as my internet connection is not ADSL (not sure if that makes a difference)
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, you installed those others?
[14:41] <copyleftdev> anyone here cluster there ubuntu machines
[14:42] <bazhang> an_droid: no difference
[14:42] <an_droid> bazhang, yes, it is wired only.
[14:42] <invisible> здаров мужики
[14:42] <HinHin> gullstad, try mounting the remote shared folder

[14:42] <gullstad> HinHin: Thats the problem, I dont know how. Or it's not working right.
[14:43] <gregory> !de | gregory
[14:43] <HinHin> gullstad, e.g. mkdir -p /mnt/<make a name here>
[14:43] <an_droid> bazhang, yes, it is wired only.
[14:43] <spyd3r> Jack_Sparrow
[14:43] <spyd3r> yes
[14:44] <Jack_Sparrow> were any not already installed?
[14:44] <gullstad> HinHin: What? make a new directory? Is that mounting?
[14:44] <moDumass> my internet through browsers is uber slow, any ideas?
[14:44] <HinHin> mount //<location>< the folder> -o username="",password="" /mnt/<your made up folder name>
[14:44] <bazhang> an_droid: well it would be good if you read that link through and asked when things got confusing; teaching someone networking from scratch is not really suited to this channel as it is so noisy etc and quite a lengthy process
[14:44] <spyd3r> libglitz-glx1 libglitz1 xserver-xgl were not installed
[14:44] <moDumass> like its fast through other apps
[14:45] <moDumass> but super slow through browsers
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, log out and back in
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, we may still need to edit xorg
[14:45] <HinHin> gullstad, ah i think there's an easier way actually
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> missed
[14:45] <bazhang> moDumass: this is firefox? do you have a proxy or an onion router on that?
[14:45] <an_droid> bazhang, ok
[14:46] <gullstad> HinHin: An easyer way? Thats not eaven mounting :s
[14:46] <moDumass> bazrahg no
[14:46] <moDumass> and onion router turned off
[14:46] <bazhang> moDumass: no to which question? there were three

[14:48] <AutumnCat> hello everyone. I was told that it is NOT allow to use "/me" here, and why?
[14:48] <gligorhoria> gullstad an example u do fdisk -l to see what u want to mount (u loock for ntfs for ex) and then u do mkdir /mnt/win      and then      mount  /dev/sda1 /mnt/win -ntfs

[14:48] <an_droid> bazhang, I have followed the instructions for atheros chipset, how do i test if there is a communication between the two radios?
 i do and i have for about a year, its disabled atm
[14:48] <spyd3r> Jack_Sparrow, what were the commands for the installs you suggested so that i can put them in my forum thread for this problem?
 and its never been a problemm in the past
[14:49] <Ziroday> Hi, I am havig some issues getting vncserver to work, it states that it cannot run on screen 0 because a server is already running there, however when trying to kill vncserver on screen 0 it says that it has no record of vncserver running on screen 0. Under both ps aux and netstat thier is no sign of VNC yet nmap says port 5900 is open
[14:49] <bazhang> moDumass: from your description sounds like tor; how about deleting it completely
[14:49] <AutumnCat> bazhang: Does the spam usually use /me ?
[14:49] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, one sec I will pastebin my notes and you can pick and chose how to use it.
 but my ip isnt masked when i go to any sites
[14:49] <bazhang> AutumnCat: join #ubuntu-offtopic and try it ;]
 so is it like,, hmm

[14:54] <balle> *for

[14:54] <sjovan> balle: did you try out the 3g pack?
[14:54] <an_droid> bazhang, after checking a different network name.. it appears that ubuntu beleives it is connected at 100 percent to any network name I add.
[14:54] <moDumass> yeh
[14:55] <DeadLy_sp> nobody can help to me ?
[14:55] <balle> sjovan: yea and the ntfs partition is all good but i cant find the mount poit it seems
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, does sudo fdisk -l   find the ntfs drive/partitiohn
[14:55] <Piero_Scaruffi> will ubuntu run on my 433 Mhz intel celeron with 256 mb ram and 8 mb vid memory?
[14:55] <Lainy> Hello, in Ubuntu I am able to read from my NTFS partition (which also has WinXP installed on it). Am I also about to write in this partition? What would happen if I did? Thanks.
[14:56] <sjovan> balle: did you use fstab as i told you to?
[14:56] <balle> jack_sparrow i can find the partition all right, but when i try to mount it into /dev/media/hda5  it says it doesnt exist
[14:57] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-1    then    sudo mount /dev/hda5 /media/ntfs-1
[14:57] <an_droid> bazhang,what should i do to share the internet connection once steps for atheros card have been followed in the guide?
[14:57] <bartmon> Hai! Is it possible to virtualise 3d applications without a performance hit?
[14:57] <bazhang> an_droid: what is the next step in the guide? does it not specify?
[14:57] <bartmon> (a huge one at least)
[14:57] <sjovan> balle: have you mkdir /dev/media/hda5 ?
[14:57] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, mount       /device       space   mount/point
[14:58] <an_droid> bazhang,it only explains how to set up an ad-hoc network connection.. I am not sure what to do to create internet share after this.
[14:58] <sjovan> balle: btw... why dev/media ? why not just /media/*
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> bartmon, no
[14:58] <sjovan> not that it's inportant or anything...
[14:59] <fertomo> hola
[15:00] <Nigromante> hola
[15:00] <an_droid> bazhang, signal quality is 39 mode is ad-hoc (information using kwifi-manager)

[15:00] <balle> rl
[15:00] <sjovan> balle: have you done mkdir /dev/media/hda5 ?
[15:00] <an_droid> bazhang,noise level indicator shows I am connected.
[15:01] <an_droid> bazhang,channel is 11
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, the command just as I gave them will work...  dont try to mix and match what people are giving you
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, you must make a mount point.. directory,, the mount device to that mount point
[15:02] <an_droid> bazhang,local IP is unavailable

[15:02] <gregory> yes, but dont use
[15:02] <an_droid> bazhang, there is no specific information in the guide as to what to do next after establishing an ad-hoc connection
[15:02] <gregory> l_r: better use download from adobe website
[15:02] <Starnestommy> l_r: I think it's flashplugin-nonfree

[15:02] <epistax> Howdy folks. I have a dual monitor setup, both 1280x1024.  I'm not sure how to ask exactly.. But II can't seem to figure out how to make the screens independent, that is, I want to see two 1280x1024 desktops, not one 2560x1024. Anyone know of a HOW-TO? My googlefu is weak today.
[15:03] <an_droid> Jack_Sparrow, could you help me enable internet connection sharing over an ad-hoc connection with a windows machine?
[15:03] <jocke> When was it Gutsy Gibbon will be out again?
[15:03] <l_r> erm..how do i enable flashplugin-.nonfree?
[15:03] <Starnestommy> jocke: it's been out since October 2007
[15:03] <l_r> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree won't work
[15:03] <jocke> Starnestommy, I mean hardy
[15:03] <Starnestommy> jocke: Hardy Heron, the next release, is for next month sometime
[15:04] <jocke> okeay

[15:06] <LittleCj3k> hi
[15:07] <an_droid> could anyone helpme configure my wifi card to work with firestarter? as firestarter says that my card is 'not ready'
[15:08] <jessica> yes there is a deb for flash player
[15:08] <jessica> its the adobe website
[15:08] <bazhang> an_droid: and after the connections is done are able to connect wirelessly to the internet?
[15:08] <OS4you> #ubuntu
[15:08] <jessica> also if you open up firefox and try and view some flash content it will give you a simple GUI installer for a firefox plugin
[15:09] <kditty> is there a gui program for splitting large mp3 files into multiple mp3s using the cue file?
[15:09] <an_droid> bazhang, no, it appears the card is connected (in other words the radio's see eachother) but apparently my card isnt "configured" (checked in firestarter firewall) it shows that the settings on the card are all zero.  (ie: no IP , no Gateway etc.)
[15:09] <OS4you> I am unable to detect my external USB HDD, can some one help me
[15:10] <l_r> how can i test the flashplayer plugin with the cam?
[15:10] <an_droid> bazhang, also, kwifi manager says that IP address for the connection is "unavailable"
[15:11] <deephan> try mounting it explicitly by giving the mount command in the terminal
[15:11] <Pendeta> After installing KDE on a Ubuntu server, the server will no longer boot normally (it can however be booted in recovery mode). Trying to boot normally results in a blank screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left hand corner. Is there any way to fix this? This is with an encrypted lvn file system.
[15:11] <epistax> maybe my question didn't make sense..
[15:11] <bazhang> http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html an_droid this may be a bit more specific
[15:11] <skarface> Pendeta: what is the graphics card?
[15:12] <an_droid> bazhang,thanks
[15:12] <jessica> if you want flash player just go to terminal and type
[15:12] <jessica> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:12] <amenado> an_droid-> can your wifi card  associate to the AP?
[15:12] <Pendeta> skarface, I don't know. I'll find out and report back.
[15:12] <DeadLy_sp> anyone can help to me with devilspie?
[15:13] <epistax> I have a dual monitor setup that gives me a 2560x1024 desktop, but I'd rather have two 1280x1024 desktops.  How can I make this change?
[15:13] <Pendeta> skarface, but I had Kubuntu workstation installed before, and all worked fine.
[15:14] <cr_tmn_az_> u
[15:14] <skarface> Pendeta: well I've seen that happen with my nvidia card when the kernel upgraded and I had to reinstall the driver
[15:14] <sharperguy> ok how do I configure my epihpany java plugin to use alsa instead of oss?
[15:14] <amenado> epistax having a dual monitor, am curious as to what you have in /etc/gdm/custom.conf under  local [servers]  ?  can you paste please in pastebin?
[15:14]  * Vokabre think that ubuntu is better than ASP Linux 12 Carbon :)
[15:15] <jokoon> Hello, I just need the names of the things I have to add with synaptic to browse my bluetooth cellphone, and I also need some information on how connect my ubuntu on a NIS network (my class is wired with opensuse machines). Please :)
[15:15] <balle> how do i make a mount directory?
[15:15] <epistax> amenado: Sure, I actually haven't touched that file as no instructions I've read so far mentioned it... where's the pastebin though? :) Never used it
[15:15] <Pendeta> skarface, how do I reinstall the driver. I'm brand now to Linux, only been using it for a few months.
[15:15] <amenado> !pastebin | epistax
[15:15] <ubotu> epistax: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[15:15] <skarface> Pendeta: depends on the graphics card ;)
[15:16] <epistax> amenado: Thanks a bunch.  I don't have a custom conf though, just the gdm conf
[15:16] <Pendeta> skarface, ok. I'll find out and report back.
[15:16] <bazhang> an_droid: best to do it in channel as I really am bad at this and others can correct my mistakes ;]
[15:16] <balle> how do i make a mount directory?
[15:16] <amenado> epistax let me check..hang for a sec
[15:17] <epistax> amenado: OOh there is a gdm.conf-custom
[15:17] <amenado> epistax-> perhaps gdm.conf-custom
[15:17] <bartmon> balle: Any empty directory works
[15:17] <epistax> hehe sorry one sec
[15:17] <amenado> epistax its okay..take your time
[15:17] <balle> bartmon: ehm, what is an empty directory?
[15:17] <epistax> amenado: there is no content, just a header comment block and some headers
[15:18] <_ba> would it be a waste of time to try and load ubuntu on a latop 700mhz 128mb of ram would performance be any worse then windows?
[15:18] <bartmon> balle: A directory without subdirectories or files
[15:18] <bazhang> _ba: any way to up the ram on that?
[15:18] <bartmon> balle: The easiest way is to create a new directory (or folder) anywhere you like
[15:19] <balle> bartmon: so i could do sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdag /media
[15:19] <an_droid> bazhang,ok
[15:19] <_ba> i doubt it this lappy is is pretty old toshiba satellite s353 and if i could prob be be expensive
[15:20] <an_droid> amenado, Im not sure. I am quite new to this and trying to understand it as best I can.
[15:20] <_ba> because i just put in the boot cd to load the installer and it taking ages to even start the install
[15:20] <bartmon> balle: first do "sudo mkdir /media/windows" and then "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda9 /media/windows/"
[15:20] <an_droid> bazhang, ok
[15:20] <bazhang> _ba: if you dont want gnome you could probably do it; fluxbuntu might be an alternative for so little ram
[15:20] <balle> Bartmon: it doesnt matter that it's not actually a windows installation? but just the ntfs file system?
[15:22] <epistax> amenado: I'm browsing the forums now concerning gdm configuration and dual monitor..
[15:22] <sjovan> balle: have you set up fstab?
[15:22] <balle> sjovan: i do not know what fstab is
[15:22] <chazco> Anyone know why Ubuntu-docs takes hours to install?
[15:22] <bazhang> chazco: really that long?
[15:23] <amenado> epistax okay, i was looking around the system for gdm related stuff too
[15:23] <balle> sjovan: but i dont think i have to force mount it anymore, the partition appears to be fixed
[15:23] <chazco> On the desktop PC yep
[15:23] <bartmon> balle: Yes. Mount just cares how the data is organised on a partition, that is why you must use the option -t <filesystem-type>
[15:23] <chazco> Laptop (has more RAM, slightly faster CPU) takes about 10-15 mintues though
[15:23] <Kennie`> Hi, I'm trying to use i8kutils.. but for some reason I get a fatal error when doing modprobe i8k... anyone got any idea why?
[15:23] <RioMerc> Hi
[15:23] <chazco> Installing Gusty is terrible now :( So many updates, one of which freezes... Would be it be safe to use Hardy?
[15:24] <balle> bartmon: nothing happens, just nothing at all, it just want me to type another code..
[15:24] <tic^> just installed 8.04, sound is fixed on my toshiba. wireless stopped working. must hav been from the upgrade. wireless worked with 7.10. i click on netwrok icon and enter wireless stuff but nothing. someone help please
[15:24] <JarG0n> how do you invoke filename completion in the terminal?
[15:24] <skarface> chazco: probably, it's in beta, but you'll find yourself doing a lot of updates on hardy as well until it's finalized
[15:24] <bazhang> tic^: #ubuntu+1 please
[15:25] <chazco> Ah, so not much help there either. Internet isnt up to this...
[15:25] <bartmon> balle: what is the error exactly?
[15:25] <chazco> Thanks skarface :)
[15:25] <mark__> JarGOn: press tab
[15:25] <epistax> amenado: Maybe it's an issue of Xinerama versus twin view.. I initially used xinerama, couldn't figure it out, tried twinview, couldn't figure it out, but maybe I'll look for docs for them..
[15:25] <balle> fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[15:25] <balle> FUSE mount point creation failed
[15:26] <DeadLy_sp> devilspie not work on Xfce4 ????
[15:26] <amenado> epistax yes, probably related to those two as they control the display on duals
[15:26] <bartmon> balle: Then the filesystem is already mounted!
[15:26] <RioMerc> Would anyone care to offer an idea as to why my perfectly configured after many hours of tinkering video drivers just decided to explode in my face and revert to crap-tacular state?
[15:26] <RioMerc> And perhaps why my external HD refuses to mount
[15:26] <JarG0n> mark__> ok, it worked, but it came up with several \'s that confused me.
[15:27] <chazco> heh... sudo timed out while ubuntu-docs was updated... script didnt like that
[15:27] <epistax> amenado: then again what we're talking about does sound like a gdm thing. I think what I'm trying to do is cut my workspaces down to 1280x1024, and have them independently selectable on each display... is that crazy?
[15:27] <amenado> RioMerc-> after you perfectly configure - you save a copy of your xorg.conf right?
[15:27] <bartmon> balle: ry browsing through the /media folder and see if the filesystem is already accessible in a folder there
[15:27] <Cubexombi> can someone explain what I'm doing wrong, I've been trying to get tv-out on my laptop going, so far it looks like it should work, but the TV's display is skewed *like porn on cable*
[15:27] <RioMerc> amenado: There should theoretically be one, yes
[15:27] <mark__> JarGOn: the \ is an escape character, it gets put int front of spaces so that the terminal doesnt mistake the next word as a new command
[15:27] <alexq> Hi, I've got an problem with the pidgin. Im using the Jabber, IRC and Gadu-Gadu network's, but it crashes. Where do I get an error-log from it and why it's crashing? The windows are going dark (it's an effect of the crash, yeah?) I've tried to reinstall it through the Synaptic. Ill try to reinstall the libpurple. Can anybody help me with it? I love this communicator
[15:28] <Pendeta> skarface, the video card is built into the motherboard, which is an Asus P5GC-MX.
[15:28] <amenado> epistax supposedly, i read that somewhere, where you can set different resolution in the [servers]  by specifying another [server-newres] and would then be selectable..but i cant find my notes on that
[15:28] <skarface> Pendeta: intel I guess?
[15:28] <chazco> How much do Ubuntu-restricted-extras and Kubuntu-restricted-extras overlap? Is it safe to install both? (I have Kaffeine installed for OGM, DVB and DVD support)
[15:29] <amenado> RioMerc-> try to revert to the saved copy to recover?
[15:29] <Pendeta> skarface, yes.
[15:29] <RioMerc> At a glance, the backup appears to be the same as the current
[15:29] <skarface> Pendeta: I don't know, I've only seen that with the binary nvidia drivers... you could try reconfiguring xorg
[15:29] <RioMerc> Yes, both of them
[15:29] <amenado> RioMerc-> you can diff, they are just text file..so it will tell you the diff if any
[15:30] <epistax> amenado: I've been hacking at my xorg.conf a lot lately.. It's not so scary anymore... I can set up different resolutions on each monitor, but it'll "meta" the resolutions into being the same and still extend the desktop
[15:30] <alexq> Hi, I've got an problem with the pidgin. Im using the Jabber, IRC and Gadu-Gadu network's, but it crashes. Where do I get an error-log from it and why it's crashing? The windows are going dark (it's an effect of the crash, yeah?) I've tried to reinstall it through the Synaptic. Ill try to reinstall the libpurple. Can anybody help me with it? I love this communicator
[15:30] <RioMerc> Diff?
[15:30] <RioMerc> Is that a terminal command?
[15:30] <RioMerc> Nevermind, found out myself :)
[15:30] <skarface> Pendeta: ...which is done with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:31] <amenado> epistax-> you are much more advance than me on finding what makes that xorg.conf work...im still reading stuff..
[15:31] <MattJ> alexq: If the windows go dark then it means it isn't responding
[15:31] <epistax> amenado: I think all I discovered is it has nothing to do with xorg.conf hehe
[15:31] <chazco> Anyone know if v4l is going to be backported from Hardy? My DVB adapter works out-of-the-box on Hardy, but on Gusty requires a custom compile of v4l-dvb and firmware...
[15:31] <alexq> MattJ: Thanks... But what shall I do?
[15:31] <MattJ> alexq: It could be doing something (in which case, wait), or it may be stuck (in which case close it)
[15:31] <RioMerc> Heh
[15:31] <fragged> Mhm can anybody recommend me a decent piece of software for remote desktop connection management? gnome-rdp fails on vnc connections :S
[15:31] <RioMerc> A single difference
[15:32] <MattJ> alexq: Not sure, try #pidgin
[15:32] <Pendeta> skarface, ok. I'll try that.
[15:32] <maghetto> ciao ciao e buona pasqua
[15:32] <alexq> MattJ: It sometimes does something and returns, but it also sometimes not.
[15:33] <maghetto> avrei 2 domande da fare..la prima..
[15:33] <MattJ> alexq: Any idea what it is doing? Maybe it is having trouble accessing the network at that time?
[15:33] <balle> i seem to have a problem playing some audio tracks, i am using the VLC player
[15:33] <Nate> Can anyone advise on sound issues w/Gusty?  I'm using a laptop w/HD sound.  I can hear, but it is extremely low.
[15:33] <maghetto> esiste un modo per non dover scrivere ogni volta la striga di configurazione del nik???
[15:34] <maghetto> cioè in automatico??

[15:34] <an_droid> I am so confused, would anyone be willing to talk me through setting up my ad-hoc connection for internet connection sharing?
[15:34] <maghetto> whatt?
[15:34] <MattJ> maghetto: #ubuntu-es
[15:35] <amenado> fragged-> after you ssh in with -C -X options, did you try  gnome-session  ?
[15:35] <antonio_> list
[15:35] <amenado> epistax what files controls that? out of my curiosity
[15:35] <maghetto> nessuno mi risp!!
[15:36] <bazhang> maghetto: english here please
[15:36] <epistax> amenado: controls what, TwinView versus the other? That's actually in xorg.conf
[15:36] <DoubleAW> about when will 8.04 come out?
[15:36] <an_droid>  sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "private-network_000" mode Ad-Hoc key s:xxxxxxxx is that supposed to be ath0 (for atheros) or is that where i put the device name of the internet connection?
[15:36] <DoubleAW> around next week?
[15:36] <bazhang> late april DoubleAW
[15:37] <maghetto> ok..but italian
[15:37] <MattJ> DoubleAW: 24th April
[15:37] <maghetto> ?
[15:37] <DoubleAW> ah.
[15:37] <MattJ> !it
[15:37] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[15:37] <bazhang> #ubuntu-it maghetto
[15:37] <fragged> amenado, remote connections and tunneling X through a SSH session are different. I'm talking about a program that will manage MANY connections over MANY different protocols (VNC + SSH essential, RDP is a plus)
[15:37] <amenado> epistax-> that controls those indepent resolutions you were seeking
[15:37] <MattJ> Sorry maghetto :P
[15:37] <[SAFC]stevec_> Now listening to:Return Of Inspiration by Supergrass on Diamond Hoo Ha
[15:37] <balle> i cant get sound out of the vlc player, i'm trying to play some mp3's...
[15:37] <[SAFC]stevec_> oops sorry!
[15:37] <maghetto> ok thats
[15:37] <kinglet_> hi all
[15:37] <bazhang> prego
[15:38] <antonio_> list
[15:38] <cdrick_> #wormux-fr
[15:38] <amenado> fragged-> i dont know then
[15:38] <an_droid> bazhang, still confused as to how that guide works.
[15:38] <balle> i cant get sound out of the vlc player, i'm trying to play some mp3's... anybody knows what's up?
[15:38] <epistax> amenado: Ah well that depends on whether you use twin view or the other.. err that is, it's in the xorg.conf either way.  If you use twin view (nvidia only), it goes under "Metamodes" in the video device section
[15:38] <kinglet> hi all
[15:38] <an_droid> bazhang, which "other device" am i supposed to list?
[15:38] <swhitt> I'm having problems installing rmagick. I have libmagick9-dev ruby1.8-dev installed but when I do a 'sudo gem install rmagick' I still get Can't install RMagick 2.2.2.   If I don't break anything I'll brb
[15:39] <amenado> epistax-> i dont have the capabilities to go dual monitor, so i cant really test the feature..
[15:39] <skarface> Pendeta: er it's xserver-xorg... not x-server
[15:40] <antonio_> list
[15:40] <balle> MattJ: none and i just installed it
[15:40] <bazhang> an_droid: to create wireless network using wifi card in your pc (that is connected via ethernet) to share internet--eth0 will be typically that though you have to check
[15:40] <MattJ> antonio_: Why do you keep saying 'list'?
[15:40] <squid0> antonio, you need to type a forward slash before a command to the server
[15:40] <Unknown-Boy> Hi all, is there anything like /etc/conf.d/net (gentoo) in ubuntu?
[15:40] <squid0> that is, antonio_ : ^
[15:40] <epistax> Okay I'm not dead yet
[15:40] <MattJ> balle: Do MP3s play in other programs?
[15:40] <an_droid> bazhang, apologies for sounding so confused but I generally am :-D
[15:41] <epistax> And I made a partial accomplishment
[15:41] <jrib> Unknown-Boy: what is it supposed to do?
[15:41] <amenado> epistax-> what did you accomplished?
[15:41] <balle> MAttJ: i have only tried in the native one, and it wanted to install some codecs so i skipped that...
[15:41] <an_droid> bazhang,thanks wasnt sure.. i think I understand the concept now ;-)
[15:41] <MattJ> balle: Right
[15:41] <Unknown-Boy> jrib: I want to config pppoe manually
[15:41] <MattJ> !mp3 | balle
[15:41] <ubotu> balle: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[15:41] <epistax> amenado: My LCD, which is technically the second screen because the VGA initializes first, is now my primary screen
[15:41] <an_droid> bazhang, what command do i type to check?
[15:41] <Pendeta> skarface, also before that I noticed that several line under "Loading AppArmor profiles" there is a line that says, "*Setting sensor limits...  [fail}"
[15:42] <MattJ> balle: Follow the instructions in the link, and see if it helps
[15:42] <amenado> epistax-> cool, you were able to switch them around
[15:42] <bazhang> an_droid: it took me an intensive two weeks to learn networking (without irc) so a quick fix here without reading up on the basics here just wont happen imo; you are welcome to try however ;]
[15:42] <balle> MAttj; the first one or what?
[15:42] <an_droid> :-)
[15:42] <MattJ> balle: Yes
[15:42] <epistax> amenado:  they still share a workspace though.  This might not be an easy thing to do!
[15:42] <balle> doing... thx
[15:42] <soto> Is writing with ntfs-3g considered safe?
[15:43] <amenado> epistax-> yah, darn X is so complex..
[15:43] <sinbox> soto: safe as in?
[15:43] <soto> sinbox: Will I be able to read out the same data I wrote in reliably?
[15:43] <jrib> Unknown-Boy: no idea, but ask that next time.  Here's the ubotu link, see if it mentions what you want:
[15:43] <jrib> !pppoe > unknown-boy (read the private message from ubotu)
[15:43] <an_droid> bazhang, what command do i use to find out if my internet is on eth0 or eth1 etc ? lspci?
[15:43] <Unknown-Boy> jrib: thanks
[15:43] <bazhang> an_droid: yes
[15:43] <soto> an_droid: Try ifconfig
[15:43] <balle> MattJ: it says that it cant fin the package?
[15:44] <balle> finD
[15:44] <sinbox> works for me here but I haven't tried pluging the drives into a windows box soto
[15:45] <an_droid> bazhang, do you think you might be able to understand better if i do a paste bin?
[15:45] <an_droid> bazhang, thanks soto, that gave me more information.
[15:45] <amenado> an_droid-> you not going to find out that way easily, you can have both sides in the non-internet-routable ip address range but still could not tell of the bat which is connected to the internet.
[15:45] <Pendeta> skarface, is there any way to install xserver-xorg besides using aptitude?
[15:45] <MattJ> balle: What version of Ubuntu?
[15:45] <amenado> an_droid-> you have to do some tracing to which gateway it goes out of
[15:45] <balle> MattJ: latest
[15:46] <skarface> Pendeta: are you sure it isn't installed? it looks like you issued the command wrong.
[15:46] <balle> MattJ: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras this won't work in my terminal
[15:46] <MattJ> Hmm
[15:46] <skarface> Pendeta: how did you install KDE exactly?
[15:46] <KE_AMI> heloo any body
[15:46] <an_droid> amenado, Im not sure if I fully understand what you are talking about, I am very new to this and that sounds complicated. I only have one device providing internet to my computer.
[15:47] <kop> meanwhile the stoned ranger not so cleverly disguised as an inept and confused slackware luser makes his way into the realm of Ubuntu with out a single clue as to what he is doing . Updates as they happen , film at 11:00 ...
[15:47] <MetAtroN> hello
[15:47] <KE_AMI> how to get it ububntu new vertion CD
[15:47] <squid0> balle: have you enabled the non-main repositories? that might be necessary
[15:47] <cdrick_> #ubuntu-fr
[15:47] <amenado> an_droid the best thing is draw your network layout, label which box is which, and paste it in pastebin -- then we can advise you of, of what you wanted to achieve
[15:48] <amenado> an_droid-> also it would help if you put which ip address each interface have
[15:48] <LazyAngel> Anyone knows fwbuilder? I get a permission denied in /etc :(
[15:48] <an_droid> amenado, how do i check wich ip address each interface has?
[15:48] <amenado> LazyAngel-> im not familiar with it, but are you using sudo or as root to make changes?
[15:49] <an_droid> I seem to have accidentally configured my wifi card to have ip address <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:49] <kop> backup / , /usr , /var , all /home (try not to miss the symlinks this time ) any others ?
[15:49] <amenado> an_droid  ifconfig for ethernet, iwconfig for wireless
[15:49] <MetAtroN> could you tell me which Ubuntu should I get if I want to install it on PS3?
[15:49] <LazyAngel> amenado: i dn't have aa root account. i use my own account. but the docs says it should use sudo automaticly...
[15:49] <mkjackson> Hey folks, was just wondering if anyone can suggest to me how I can access files on my windows box over the network from my 'buntu box...
[15:49] <amenado> LazyAngel-> what command you typed exactly?
[15:49] <cha0s> hi, i have a question about the 'date' command. why is it rejecting 'CST' as my timezone?
[15:50] <ikonia> MetAtroN: you need a PPC version, I advise you that it will not be worth the effort
[15:50] <bazhang> http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html an_droid you might tell amenado about this link
[15:50] <mkjackson> since I can't just put //<IP_ADDRESS>/c$ like on my prev box
[15:50] <LazyAngel> mkjackson: search for samba howtos
[15:50] <kop> mkjackson, samba
[15:50] <Pendeta> skarface, under Uninstalled Packages in aptitude there is a choice for x11. But it is not able to install gwenview for some reason.
[15:50] <mkjackson> samba 'ey?  cool, thx
[15:50] <an_droid> amenado, I will try to put all information in pastebin for you.
[15:50] <amenado> bazhang-> am not sure if he wanted to make his wifi card acting as AP, thats a bit difficult to do, his driver has to support it
[15:50] <kop> I know I'm forgetting something ...
[15:51] <MetAtroN> whant do you mean? that I shouldnt bother installing it?
[15:51] <CONVERGE> .cd
[15:51] <skarface> Pendeta: okay? I don't really have time to continue
[15:51] <amenado> bazhang-> thats why it always help me troubleshoot if they put up a layout of the network...easier to comprehend
[15:51] <bazhang> amenado: right I agree; and just getting an ap would be simpler with such a rudimentary knowledge of networking, but he wants what he wants ;]
[15:51] <kop> probably some obscure ritual or incantation ...
[15:51] <ikonia> MetAtroN: there is a very limited set of functions for it
[15:51] <LazyAngel> mkjackson: "sudo apt-get install samba" and then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf (read howtos to edit it the way you want)
[15:52] <Pendeta> skarface, ok. Thanks for your time so far. I appreciate it much.
[15:52] <amenado> bazhang yep
[15:52] <jkonami> hey guys, I'm having a weird problem with my titlebars.. looks like the spacing of the text, icons, and buttons (like minimize and so forth) are really spread far and some of the text is being truncated as a result.  Plus, I get no buttons whatsoever, actually, I just assume they are there and I can't seem them
[15:52] <MetAtroN> hmm, is there any other linux I should consider?
[15:52] <jkonami> also, compiz is turned off
[15:52] <cha0s> hi, i have a question about the 'date' command. why is it rejecting 'CST' as my timezone?
[15:52] <MetAtroN> I heard about Yellow Dog...
[15:52] <woland> hi. does hardy herron support iwl4965 wireless on the install disk?
[15:53] <ikonia> MetAtroN: the PS3 is pretty restricted due to the user of the hypervisor, so again, not really worth the effort
[15:53] <aoupi> cha0s: you don't mean CEST?
[15:53] <ikonia> woland: join #ubuntu+1
[15:53] <ikonia> woland: also there are docs listed in the topic in #ubuntu+1
[15:53] <aoupi> cha0s: n/m me :)
[15:53] <Dex-Freudii> my wi-fi is not working properly
[15:54] <amenado> Dex-Freudii-> i heard that here often..hehe
[15:54] <kop> MetAtroN, one that doesn't hate you
[15:54] <cha0s> lol, I set CEST and it changed to CDT
[15:54] <Dex-Freudii> :(
[15:54] <MetAtroN> kop : what?
[15:54] <urlwolf> ok, I want to use the terminus fonts with gnome terminal; but it's not listed.The list for xfce terminal and gnome terminal are not even similar
[15:54] <amenado> Dex-Freudii-> just curious, you are from uruguay?
[15:54] <urlwolf> I'm running xfce
[15:54] <SpaceAviator> My conky wont display at absolute top of the screen. It just display at like an inch below the top fo the screen even though i have aligned it as top_right any ideas?
[15:54] <Dex-Freudii> amenado: yep
[15:54] <ai3gtmc> hi
[15:54] <mokkpr01> exit
[15:54] <cha0s> :~/dev/fb/freebasic$ sudo date --set='Sun Mar 23 10:49:22 CEST 2008'
[15:54] <urlwolf> but want to use gnome terminal
[15:54] <kop> MetAtroN, pick a dist that doesn't hate you
[15:54] <jkonami> I tried searching around and there's a lot of different titlebar problems - so nailing the right search terms for my specific one is difficult
[15:55] <cha0s> Sun Mar 23 03:49:22 CDT 2008
[15:55] <urlwolf> where does gnome terminal look for its fonts?
[15:55] <cha0s> =(
[15:55] <ikonia> kop you said that - and no distro hates him, please keep it relevant
[15:55] <Dex-Freudii> amenado: you know uruguay?
[15:55] <amenado> Dex-Freudii-> welcome to ubuntu, i have not meet anyone from uruguay before, only read some from newspaper
[15:55] <ai3gtmc> i get error user root does not exist when i try to open users and groups
[15:55] <LazyAngel> SpaceAviator: have you tried to adjust the offset?
[15:55] <cha0s> ai3gtmc: have you ever done 'sudo passwd root'?
