[06:39] <dpeach> 2 weeks I have been working on this!
[06:40] <Fryguy--> FlyingWV: no idea, try #irssi
[06:40] <Cpudan80> tannji: hit the test button back in the first window
[06:40] <FlyingWV> Fryguy--: Thanks
[06:40] <tannji> Cpudan80:  audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.
[06:40] <powertool08> FlyingWV: You can hide parts/joins
[06:40] <jayesh_> join #kpug
[06:40] <Cpudan80> tannji: hrm...
[06:40] <Cpudan80> tannji: Go through and try all of the non capture choices
[06:41] <wuxia> is there a way in gnome to display the black & gray cross checkered pattern (that is shown on old x sessions?) I want to tune the flickering of my vga monitor
[06:41] <Cpudan80> tannji: use the first row
[06:41] <tannji> cpu... so many setting variables..   lol
[06:41] <Flannel> wuxia: just turn off gnome and startx, and you'll have X
[06:41] <FlyingWV> powertool08: Ah, I will look into that, thanks
[06:41] <srid> I just installed Ubuntu on my Thinkpad and my external monitor (Samsung 22" lcd) is not detected.
[06:41] <Cpudan80> tannji: it cant be that many
[06:41] <srid> any ideas?
[06:41] <bullgard4> How does a 'kernel variable' differ from a 'kernel parameter'?
[06:41] <Cpudan80> tannji: Just set the sound playback one
[06:42] <Cpudan80> tannji: you could try the pulse setting right there just to see if it works
[06:42] <wuxia> Flannel: how do I turn off gnome? I removbed my .xsession already, and gnome still starts
[06:42] <Fryguy--> wuxia: change the session that you use in gdm
[06:42] <Flannel> wuxia: just ctrl-alt-f1 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:42] <powertool08> FlyingWV: /ignore -channels #chan1,#chan2 * JOINS PARTS QUITS
[06:42] <Flannel> wuxia: then just startx, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to turn it back on
[06:43] <shadow420> someone else having a graphics problems
[06:44] <BeepII> nickrud: The installer tells me it can't make kernel modules which match my kernel
[06:44] <BeepII> even after installing all that
[06:44] <shadow420> I didn't have problems with GNOME or KDE but xfrce I did but i was testing Intrepid
[06:44] <sandman> hi...how do i fix fsck errors related to UUID?
[06:44] <Flannel> shadow420: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks
[06:45] <tannji> Cpudan80:  Autodetect, ALC888 Digital, and pulse all test with a progress bar, but no sound.  ALC888 Analog, OSS, and ALSA all fail with the previous error message
[06:45] <shadow420> Flannel I know that I am not testing it now
[06:45] <Fryguy--> tannji: did you check the iec958 checkbox in the sound settings?
[06:45] <Cpudan80> tannji: you want to use ALC888 then
[06:45] <shadow420> Flannel because I had problems with ahving it on there
[06:46] <BouNCa> i had some problems with graphics.  when the computer boots, press ctrl + alt + F6
[06:46] <BouNCa> you'll have a console window
[06:46] <BouNCa> log in
[06:46] <Cpudan80> tannji: so set that for all three playback things
[06:46] <BouNCa> sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:46] <shadow420> man am I the only one which I had no Graphics or Sound Problems
[06:46] <Cpudan80> tannji: then for the device you should use....
[06:47] <kholerabbi> my volume controls skip from full to muted. when you try and change them they just jump around.... it's really funny.. odd.
[06:47] <BouNCa> and under the section "device"
[06:47] <shadow420> maybe it's the hardware I use
[06:47] <Cpudan80> tannji: prob the realtek thing
[06:47] <BouNCa> and a line         Driver      "vesa"
[06:47] <Fryguy--> BouNCa: can you please stop hitting enter every few words?
[06:47] <FlyingWV> powertool08: Thanks, I got it working, and in the process found a nice page with a lot of settings for irssi
[06:48] <BouNCa> lol
[06:48] <BouNCa> sorry, i'll start over
[06:48] <wolfwolf> bonjour
[06:48] <shadow420> BouNCa do you have an high end card like Nvidia ATI or Raidon?
[06:48] <BouNCa> yea nvidia
[06:48] <tannji> Cpudan80:  when I test, should I hear something?  or is the progress bar an indicator that it thinks it is working?
[06:48] <BouNCa> 256mb
[06:48] <phiqtion> !emule
[06:49] <phiqtion> !amlue
[06:49] <Cpudan80> tannji: you might not hear anything yet
[06:49] <phiqtion> !amule
[06:49] <Fryguy--> !botabuse | phiqtion
[06:49] <Cpudan80> tannji: just set the three playback things - and set your device at the bottom to Realtek ALC888 ....
[06:49] <shadow420> BouNCa what restricted drivers are u using
[06:49] <Cpudan80> tannji: select master in the box
[06:49] <phiqtion> !botabuse Fryguy--
[06:49] <phiqtion> !botabuse | Fryguy--
[06:49] <Cpudan80> tannji: lemme know when you are ready to move on to part2
[06:49] <bob3213243> I heard that dell was disabling "stereo" on their newer computers and was wondering a couple things. 1: Does this matter if I installed ubuntu. and 2: what is the "stereo" setting?
[06:50] <sandman> hi..how do i automount fat32 partitions on boot???
[06:50] <Fryguy--> sandman: edit /etc/fstab
[06:50] <tannji> ok... set the 3 to realtek, and at the bottom I have HDA Intel (ALSA mixer), or Realtek Oss mixer
[06:50] <shadow420> bouNCa u may have to use the new one
[06:50] <Cpudan80> tannji: does the realtek one have ALC888 in it?
[06:51] <BouNCa> nvidia-glx-new
[06:51] <shadow420> bouNCa > !nvidia
[06:51] <BouNCa> mine is working fine now
[06:51] <tannji> Cpudan80: yes, so I chose it
[06:51] <shadow420> bouNCa k
[06:51] <tannji> Cpudan80:  close preferences?
[06:51] <BouNCa> after i edited the xorg.conf, and restarted, i was able to get my gui. and then install the nvidia restricted driver
[06:52] <bob3213243> I heard that dell was disabling "stereo" on their newer computers and was wondering a couple things. 1: Does this matter if I installed ubuntu. and 2: what is the "stereo" setting?
[06:52] <Cpudan80> tannji: right - so now close that and right click the sound icon on the taskbar and hit open vol control
[06:52] <tannji> Cpudan80:  and what about device in sound volume: change device?
[06:52] <Cpudan80> tannji: yes - file --> change device --> ALC888 something
[06:52] <airin_72> do apps from 32 bit work in 64 bit?
[06:53] <tannji> Cpudan80:  done
[06:53] <Fryguy--> airin_72: not without something extra
[06:53] <Fryguy--> airin_72: like a wrapper library or something
[06:53] <Cpudan80> tannji: now go to edit preferences and check master and pcm
[06:53] <BeepII> Well, thanks all.  (I guess it's time to get a better graphics card)
[06:53] <Cpudan80> tannji: set the master whatever you want - the PCM should be set about 50%
[06:54] <bob3213243> I heard that dell was disabling "stereo" on their newer computers and was wondering a couple things. 1: Does this matter if I installed ubuntu. and 2: what is the "stereo" setting?
[06:54] <Fryguy--> bob3213243: do you count to 120 before you repeat that every time, lol.  you do it almost exactly at 2 minute interval
[06:55] <Flannel> bob3213243: It depends on whether its hardware disabling or software disabling.  Do you know anything specific/have references?
[06:55] <Cpudan80> tannji: then retest with that test button
[06:55] <tannji> Cpudan80:  I dont have master and PCM, there is :volume, speaker, line-in, mic, cd, pcm-2, in-gain, digital-1
[06:55] <bob3213243> fryguy just trying not to spam so I just wait for a few in the hopes of not being a pain. ;)
[06:55] <Cpudan80> tannji: check all the boxes then
[06:56] <Cpudan80> tannji: crank up volume for sure - speaker prob
[06:56] <gaile> hi guys
[06:57] <gaile> is it ok if I ask for help ?
[06:57] <Fryguy--> !ask | gaile
[06:57] <raheem> just ask gaile
[06:57] <gaile> ok thanks
[06:58] <phiqtion> any good starter guide for hardy available?
[06:58] <gaile> i just installed the ubunto server 8, I created two users and I want them to run ircd i have problem with connection socket
[06:58] <Fryguy--> phiqtion: www.ubuntuguide.com
[06:59] <bob3213243> flannel this kind of sizes it up. Just heard of it and was surprised. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=169644
[06:59] <gaile> is there any way to solve it?
[06:59] <Fryguy--> gaile: "problem" doesn't mean anything to us.  please give us a specific error message or something to work with
[06:59] <gaile> so both users can run ircd
[07:00] <gaile> ok hold on
[07:01] <bob3213243> flannel not a big deal just wondering wtf is up with it.
[07:01] <timandtom> How do I unmount a drive from terminal? It's just called disk on my desktop
[07:01] <gaile> heres my problme
[07:01] <Flannel> bob3213243: you'd have to ask the Dell people, and/or try it out on Ubuntu to see if its a software thing
[07:01] <gaile> [Mon Jul  7 21:23:36 2008] - Error binding stream socket to IP <IP_ADDRESS> port 7000
[07:01] <tannji> Cpudan80: well, I give up, lol... no sound anywhere. dont know what else to do.
[07:01] <gaile> I only have one ip address
[07:02] <BouNCa> umount /media/name-of mounted-disk
[07:02] <Cpudan80> tannji: :-/
[07:02] <tannji> Cpudan80:  I do appreciate your efforts tho  = )
[07:02] <Cpudan80> tannji: you could click the switches tab in there
[07:02] <cpierce> gaile: i'm guessing its not <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:02] <Cpudan80> tannji: see if any "digital output" things are checked - if so, uncheck
[07:02] <Fryguy--> gaile: if you want to run multiple instances of a server, they need to be on separate ports.  Check the configuration file for the server that you are using
[07:02] <Fryguy--> cpierce: i'm guessing it is
[07:02] <pogztimz> :)
[07:03] <cpierce> hrmm
[07:03] <cpierce> i thought i ignored fryguy
[07:03] <cpierce> oh well
[07:03] <cpierce> here goes again
[07:03] <Fryguy--> cpierce: <IP_ADDRESS> bings to all available interfaces, and is not related to his problem in any way.  You have to answer yes or no
[07:07] <Fryguy--> FlyingWV: only if it installs more packages than you specified, IIRC
[07:07] <cpierce> yum does ... haven't really paid attention to apt-get
[07:08] <FlyingWV> Fryguy--: Oh, got you, so I mostly notice that when it's bringing in dependencies
[07:09] <tannji> Cpudan80:   when I mouse-hover over the speaker in the task bar, it brings up the volume status of my mic, not speakers. is that a problem?
[07:09] <Flannel> FlyingWV: You can test beforehand with -s (or --simulate)
[07:09] <Fryguy--> tannji: if you right click on it, you can change what volume control it adjusts i think
[07:09] <Cpudan80> tannji: prob not
[07:09] <pogztimz> guys do u have any idea where i can download "super cool" ubuntu themes?
[07:09] <Cpudan80> tannji: right click -- hit preferences -- set to master
[07:09] <Fryguy--> pogztimz: gnome-look.org
[07:09] <BouNCa> gnome-look.org
[07:10] <pogztimz> Fryguy: k. i'll try it now
[07:10] <FlyingWV> Flannel: Good point, I noticed that when I just checked the man page, that's a handy option
[07:10] <tannji> Cpudan80:  ok...  I give up again for tonight... thanks again  = )
[07:10] <Flannel> FlyingWV: Although it doesn't simulate the sizes downloaded, or on disk.
[07:11] <Cpudan80> tannji: np - sorry we didnt get it fixed
[07:11] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: My theme is comprised of things I got fromm gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org
[07:11] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: Both good sites
[07:12] <tannji> Cpudan80:  no worries....   XP wins out again....  getting closer tho, lol
[07:12] <pogztimz> FlyingVW: i c
[07:12] <Cpudan80> ha
[07:12] <KDB9000> anyone here from the laptop testing team?
[07:12] <danshtr|work> Hi all. I can't access gpl.code.de/ubuntu/gutsy/Packages.gz . is it me?
[07:13] <Maikoru> bonjour
[07:13] <taodp> device..oops
[07:19] <BouNCa> anyone in here from Belize?
[07:19] <bazhang> BouNCa, what language
[07:20] <fellag> hi all !
[07:20] <BouNCa> Belize is a country in Central America. speak english/spanish
[07:20] <bazhang> !es
[07:21] <pronto> hey , anyone here
[07:21] <bazhang> pronto, yes
[07:21] <pogztimz> i downloded GDM-penguin.tar.gz from art.gnome.org, how do i install it?
[07:21] <bazhang> pogztimz, theme?
[07:21] <ubunubi> pogztimz: is that a gnome theme?
[07:21] <pogztimz> yup.. :)
[07:21] <pronto> does anyone else get the problem where flash will always show above stuff it shouldn't like menus?
[07:22] <bazhang> pogztimz, drag the theme over to theme manager or open install and go to where you dl'd it and add
[07:22] <ubunubi> pronto: it's a known issue slated to be fixed in a future update
[07:22] <FlyingWV> That the login screen with the Penguin/Gun?
[07:22] <pogztimz> bazhang: ok, i'll try it.. brb
[07:23] <c0mp13371331337> Out of curiosity, when will Compiz 0.76 be hitting the Ubuntu repos?  I gotta get my hands on that desktop sphere. ;-)
[07:23] <Intrepid> desk...top...sphere?
[07:23] <belendax> what's the size of wine cache ?
[07:23] <c0mp13371331337> Intrepid: http://www.techenclave.com/open-source/compiz-fusion-an-unparalleled-3d-environment-114472.html
[07:24] <Intrepid> c0mp13371331337: ty
[07:24] <Intrepid> Oh god. That's just delightful.
[07:25] <pronto> hrm
[07:25] <c0mp13371331337> Intrepid: Isn't it though?!  I'm really hoping that'll be in the repos soon. :-D
[07:25] <pronto> i might have to get compiz running again, some of those are pretty neat
[07:25] <jchaoul> im installing linux everythings done just the lang prob
[07:25] <Intrepid> I really like how some of that looks. 3d Windows on a cylinder is interesting.
[07:25] <jchaoul> its default to german while i want it english
[07:25] <pogztimz> bazhang: it says ""penguin" does not appear to be a valid theme." ???
[07:26] <bazhang> pogztimz, got a link?
[07:26] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: That file is a login screen
[07:26] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: You will need to move the tar file to /usr/share/gdm/themes
[07:26] <bazhang> oh, he said it was a theme
[07:27] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: then open system, administration, login window
[07:27] <pogztimz> http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/272
[07:27] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: switch to login, and drag and drop the tar file onto that window, it should install
[07:28] <Intrepid> c0mp13371331337: If you want to compile it yourself, there's a package called "checkinstall" that works like 'make install' except it adds it as a package.
[07:28] <Intrepid> I'm thinking I might go that route.
[07:28] <rand0m> is it possible to make icons (and menu items) draggable to docks & other panels & what not in xfce Z?
[07:28] <rand0m> -z
[07:29] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: switch to local, that is, to install the package
[07:30] <c0mp13371331337> Intrepid: I was thinking about it.... although I don't like straying from the repos, ESPECIALLY for something as integrated into the computer environment as compiz.  Heck, it IS the environment.  Or at least a shell for it.
[07:31] <Intrepid> c0mp13371331337: That does make sense. I try to do the same thing, except sometimes there are just things that haven't been ported to amd64, so I have no choice.
[07:31] <rubydiamond> Hi ppl
[07:32] <rubydiamond> anybody installed FF3 on ubuntu 7.10?
[07:32] <pogztimz> back
[07:32] <c0mp13371331337> Intrepid: I hear ya.  Although if it's not coming our way until the version that shares your name, I may not be able to wait that long to play with that sphere. ;-)
[07:32] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: Get it to work?
[07:33] <pogztimz> FlyingWV: yeah.. ty
[07:33] <pogztimz> i thought it was a theme
[07:33] <FlyingWV> pogztimz: Welcome, I only knew what it was because I use that login screen as well
[07:34] <pogztimz> i'FlyingWV: i'm downloading Matrix atm.. have u ever tried tried this one?
[07:34] <dimitree> Can someone tell me why : Ubuntu disregards the settings in xorg.conf, i'm using Nvidia and Nvidia X Server Settings to change my dislpay settings, becayse the save configuration to xorg.conf doesn't work, i copyed the contents of the file using the "Preview" in Nvidia X Server Settings, then copy pasted it to xorg.conf and saved the file with admin rights, when rebooting the changes are not there again, the xorg.conf file is as it should be, but sreen
[07:34] <dimitree>  resolution and refresh rate are not according to xorg.conf, also how come the Nvidia X Server Settings detects currectly my monitor and the refresh rates, but the "Resolutions" settings under System->Preferences->Resolutions does not detect my monitor and resolutions, why does Ubuntu 8.04 disregard the contents of xorg.conf ?
[07:35] <shivamib> dimitree: u sure it's actually saving? you need root and all
[07:35] <zaapiel> http://pastebin.com/m24d24283   <----help please
[07:35] <zaapiel> trying to uninstall a package
[07:36] <zaapiel> i tried to unmark it to leave it but than it wants to install all of kubuntu again
[07:36] <dimitree> shivamib,  yes i am , i re opened xorg.conf after the reboot and the files is as it is in Nividia X Server Settings
[07:37] <rand0m> how do set my xfce desktop to automount my ntfs partition so i can access my music files & what not ?
[07:37] <danshtr|work> Hi all. i search the forums but found too many unrelevant hits. The question is: update-manager fails to get packges from gpl.code.de/ubuntu/gutsy/(Packages.gz|Sources.gz) . Can i just disable these reposotaries?
[07:37] <shivamib> dimitree: it does work neatly here, i have an nvidia too
[07:37] <shivamib> dimitree: are you using the proprietary binary drivers? tho it shouldnt be it
[07:38] <dimitree> shivamib, how can i make Ubuntu to respec the damn settings in xorg.conf and if Ubuntu is not using that file then which file is it using >: /
[07:38] <shivamib> well it shouldbe using that one
[07:39] <shivamib> what exactly is it doing? coming up at a lower res?
[07:39] <dimitree> does it cash this file somewhere or anything like that ?
[07:39] <shivamib> no, that's the file
[07:40] <dimitree> shivamib, it comes to the same res but the refresh rate is at 60 and in the config it's 85 also the boot screen is at 1240 :[
[07:40] <shivamib> hmm
[07:40] <madmn> what is the command to do build essential
[07:40] <shivamib> boot screen does make some sense
[07:41] <shivamib> as its a different app
[07:41] <dimitree> shivamib, well when i click Apply in the Nvidia X Server Settings everything is OK resolution refresh rate everything works, so i copy paste this config to xorg.conf and after restart refresh is at 60 >_>
[07:41] <shivamib> are you sure your monitor allows that?
[07:41] <madmn> does anyone know how to upgrade to the build essential for GCC?
[07:42] <shivamib> i think Xserver defaults to the highest possible one
[07:42] <dimitree> shivamib, well if it didn't i wouldn't be able to Apply and use the settings with Nvidia X right ? also my monitor is very special, when the screen refresh rate is not 85 the whole picture is tilted to the left, so i always know when the refresh rate is 85
[07:43] <BaD-Laptop> !away | threethirty_away
[07:43] <shivamib> dimitree: dunno.... maybe
[07:43] <shivamib> hmm
[07:43] <shivamib> can you change it while in gnome
[07:43] <dimitree> this sux :/ i just used opensuse and everything works with no problems there under KDE and GNOME :/
[07:43] <olskolirc> i installed phpmyadmin.  is this supposed to be a gui?
[07:44] <shivamib> and then it defaults on reboot?
[07:44] <BaD-Laptop> heh, s/|\/>\/
[07:44] <shivamib> dimitree: have faith, hardy is kickass
[07:44] <Rat409> dimitree: you need to do it as sudo nvidia-settings >merge and save>apply iirc
[07:44] <bazhang> BaD-Laptop, what is that
[07:44] <dimitree> shivamib, exactly that, i can change it inside gnome and after reboot it defaults
[07:44] <madmn> anyone know how to fix GCC
[07:44] <madmn> i think it needs a build essential
[07:44] <BaD-Laptop> bazhang: probably mangled regex
[07:45] <shivamib> yeah, its probably what Rat409 said
[07:45] <bazhang> madmn, install build-essential
[07:45] <bazhang> BaD-Laptop, not here please
[07:45] <dimitree> Rat409 didn't i do the same thing when i clicked the Preview file option and copy pasted the content in xorg.conf ?
[07:45] <Ryuho> my firefox adobe flash plugin freezes my amarok... i think it's something to do with alsa ... can anyone help me
[07:46] <madmn> whats the command line to run it tho
[07:46] <bazhang> madmn, what are you trying to do
[07:46] <dimitree> here i will paste you the xorg.conf i have
[07:46] <Rat409> dimitree: maybe nvidia-settings is over-writing yours,just know mines fine GeForce Go 7150M here
[07:46] <bazhang> !compile
[07:46] <bazhang> madmn, ^^
[07:46] <madmn> my gcc is broken

[07:46] <bazhang> madmn, see link above
[07:47] <madmn> i just need the sudo command for it
[07:47] <Flannel> madmn: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:47] <bazhang> madmn, are you compiling something?
[07:47] <dimitree> Here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/25860/
[07:48] <Rat409> madmn:   sudo  apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential?
[07:48] <Soulwarp> Ryuho: from my experience i have to close alsa playing application when playing youtube or other flash videos because it won't play at the same time
[07:48] <madmn> ty

[07:58] <genii> 8.6?
[07:58] <jamus> or3 idont remember
[07:58] <ikonia> jamus: ok - you don't need to delete everything just "chown" to change the ownership
[07:59] <ozzloy> ikonia: i want to work with various jpeg files in c.  the overall goal is to take jpgs and turn them into an flv streaming as the pics come in
[07:59] <notsonerdysunny> how to enable graphical access to root?
[07:59] <vozniakBR> genii: 8.6 driver version of ati cards

[07:59] <pk_volt> I have a program in windows called Notebook Hardware Control, that dynamically switches the cpu voltage to reduce heat and battery power when cpu power is not needed.  Is there a program similar for Linux?
[07:59] <ikonia> notsonerdysunny: gksudo $application will launch an X11 app as root
[08:00] <ozzloy> ikonia: yeah
[08:00] <ikonia> pk_volt: the kernel manages your power/speed stepping for you
[08:00] <ikonia> ozzloy: ok, so you want the "build-essential" package installed
[08:00] <ozzloy> ikonia: ah cool
[08:00] <BoltClock> i removed a program from ubuntu and its still in the Applications menu, but system > preferences > main menu doesnt seem to see it. how do i remove the launcher?
[08:01] <BoltClock> i remember there was a file except i forgot its path...
[08:01] <ikonia> ozzloy: you don't actually need all of that package, but you will need most of it, so it's easier to do that package and remove it later
[08:01] <genii> vozniakBR: Ah. Have you followed the instructions at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Manual_Method_.28installing_Catalyst_8.6.29       ?

[08:02] <pogztimz> i recently downloaded "Matrix full pack.tar.gz" from gnome.look.org. how do i install this theme?
[08:02] <ikonia> ozzloy: then thats perfect
[08:02] <ozzloy> ikonia: thanks!
[08:02] <ikonia> pogztimz: open theme manager and drag and drop it in
[08:02] <Fryguy--> pogztimz: use the "install theme" button on system | preferences | appearances
[08:03] <bullgard4> What variables are collected in the directory /proc/sys/kernel/?
[08:03] <arunv> how can i mount .nrg files ?
[08:03] <ikonia> bullgard4: current kernel parameters

[08:04] <Fryguy--> pogztimz: nope
[08:04] <ikonia> pogztimz: it's not a valid theme file then
[08:04] <arunv> k Fryguy--
[08:04] <ikonia> pogztimz: the error is quite descriptive
[08:04] <Fryguy--> pogztimz: maybe it's packaged wrong
[08:05] <bazhang> pogztimz, got a link?
[08:05] <pogztimz> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Matrix+full+pack?content=82388

[08:06] <BoltClock> i removed a program from ubuntu and its still in the Applications menu, but system > preferences > main menu doesnt seem to see it. how do i remove the launcher? theres a file which i can edit i remember
[08:06] <bullgard4> ikonia: Your answer is not correct. For example with me, 'ro' and 'vga=0x0361' are not listed there.
[08:06] <ikonia> bullgard4: my answer IS correct, I didn't say it listed boot options
[08:06] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: those are boot options
[08:06] <Kartagis> BoltClock: right click Application and choose Edit Menus
[08:07] <bullgard4> ikonia, Fryguy-- I will need time to think about your answers.
[08:07] <ikonia> bullgard4: what is there to think about
[08:07] <BoltClock> Kartagis: thats the same as system > preferences > main menu... and its still not there
[08:07] <ikonia> bullgard4: that directory is an interface to the current kernel parameters, end of discussion

[08:08] <Varak_> how do i upgrade to the 2.6.25 kernel?
[08:08] <ikonia> Varak_: you don't
[08:08] <ikonia> Varak_: why do you want to upgrade ?
[08:08] <Fryguy--> !kernel | Varak_
[08:08] <Varak_> some crap im installing from myth wants something from 2.6.25
[08:09] <Varak_> well, some stuff to support myth
[08:09] <bullgard4> ikonia: The phrase " end of discussion" is unfriendly. It takes the attitude of a master slave relationship and not a relationship among peers.
[08:09] <ikonia> Varak_: myth is not kernel specific
[08:09] <Varak_> no but v4l-dvb is
[08:09] <BoltClock> Kartagis: well, that cleaned it off, why didnt i think of it?
[08:09] <ikonia> bullgard4: no, it means there is nothing more to discuss on that, my comment was a fact
[08:09] <Varak_> and thats what im farking with
[08:09] <ikonia> Varak_: thats available in 2.6.24 too
[08:10] <Kartagis> BoltClock: no idea

[08:10] <ikonia> somechap: delete the partition ?
[08:10] <BoltClock> Varak_ it represents one
[08:10] <Fryguy--> somechap: use gparted to delete the partition
[08:10] <somechap> how do i do that im new to linux
[08:10] <Fryguy--> somechap: or fdisk, or cfdisk
[08:10] <Varak_> bolt: fuck you, is that clearer?
[08:11] <rand0m> how do set my xfce desktop to automount my ntfs partition so i can access my music files & what not ?

[08:12] <BoltClock> ikonia: hes gone lol
[08:12] <Fryguy--> somechap: so use gparted, cfdisk, or fdisk, or download the gparted livecd and use that
[08:12] <ikonia> BoltClock: I know - he's still getting banned for that
[08:12] <pogztimz> bazhang: yeah.. waitning 4 u
[08:12] <microwaver> anyone got a decent fix on the fn keys on dell laptops (vostro 1000) ?

[08:12] <somechap> ok let me try it
[08:13] <jamus> ikonia:  tnx man , u saved my l.t.'s  life  :P
[08:13] <bazhang> pogztimz, you need to unpack that archive and then drop the gtk part on the theme manager; there are several others (fonts, etc) that you need to put into their respective places as well; if you want a slightly nicer theme (ie easier to install) you may consider imetal for gnome theme at gnome-look
[08:13] <jamus> next step wouldve been a sledge hammer
[08:14] <jamus> adios amigos
[08:14] <BoltClock> anyone have any idea why firefox 3 crashes when i pick a different icon set while customizing a theme??

[08:15] <BoltClock> and most of its crashes are when its not in the current workspace, but that could be just a coincidence

[08:18] <Fryguy--> gnask: ext3 is the standard
[08:18] <genii> gnask: ext3
[08:19] <gnask> Thank you for the fast reply
[08:19] <Fryguy--> gnask: reiserfs is pretty good too
[08:19] <bazhang> np

[08:22] <fretlessdavis> hey, Im having some trouble getting old icons out of the menus, can anyone help?
[08:26] <jisatsu> is it possible to fsck a drive while it's mounted?
[08:27] <genii> jisatsu: Not safely
[08:27] <linda_cute> can anyone help me please
[08:27] <jisatsu> can it be done if I remount as read only?
[08:27] <linda_cute> my pidgin not in a panel when i minimized it..how can i add to panel?
[08:27] <genii> jisatsu: Safer than rw mount, yes
[08:28] <Kartagis> !anyone | linda_cute
[08:28] <Flannel> jisatsu: You just need to fsck without a liveCD, yes? or do you have other reasons?
[08:28] <genii> jisatsu: Best to boot into single user mode for fsck operation of root partition for example, or even to scan it from a livecd boot
[08:28] <Chunky_Ks> Heya all. Does ubuntu have a formal process whereby I could request a package gets updated from what's in the repositories right now, to a version that's been out for a few months?
[08:28] <jisatsu> I have a partition set as my home partition, but I don't want to have to wait 30 minutes while it does the regular fsck thing
[08:29] <linda_cute> does anyone know why my pidgin not in a panel when i minimized it..how can i add to panel?
[08:29] <bazhang> Chunky_Ks, what package
[08:29] <jisatsu> but if it's better to just let it do its thing, I will
[08:29] <orphean> jisatsu: you could easily fsck your home partition just by unmounting it. if you want to fsck your root filesystem then that is... more difficult.
[08:29] <Chunky_Ks> cmake
[08:30] <Chunky_Ks> 2.6 has been out for a while, that includes a bunch of stuff including eclipse project support
[08:30] <fretlessdavis> how can I get rid of the icons in the menu left from windows apps after getting rid of wine?
[08:30] <jisatsu> I can't really unmount it while I'm logged in, can I?
[08:31] <jisatsu> "umount: /home: device is busy"
[08:31] <linda_cute> does anyone know why my pidgin not in a panel when i minimized it..how can i add to panel?
[08:31] <orphean> jisatsu: sure. just switch to a console and sudo into a root shell. then have at it.
[08:31] <Intrepid> linda_cute: Tools -> Preferences -> System Tray Icon
[08:31] <orphean> jisatsu: you may have to enable the root account.
[08:31] <jisatsu> oh ok. I'll give that a go then, thanks :)
[08:31] <orphean> jisatsu: if the sudo doesn't work.

[08:40] <ozz_> in ubunto server 8, i have two users who both want to install ircd and it was successful
[08:40] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: ahh you've manually deleted it
[08:40] <ubuntufan_> oh
[08:40] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: as in manually deleted the menu, not wine
[08:40] <ubuntufan_> what should i do now
[08:40] <ubuntufan_> oh
[08:41] <ozz_> but only 1 ircd is able to run due to socket error
[08:41] <ubuntufan_> what should i do now
[08:41] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: re-install wine
[08:41] <bazhang> nowox, you have the computer nearby to troubleshoot?
[08:41] <ubuntufan_> i did
[08:41] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: or manually re-create the menu
[08:41] <ubuntufan_> how
[08:41] <Starnestommy> ozz_: have one of the ircds eithe bind to a different port or a different ip
[08:41] <josh__> Can anyone point me in the direction of some good instructions for installing the madwifi drivers for 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01).  I'm not having much joy.
[08:41] <nowox> bazhang, ubuntu see the wireless interface but I cannot turn on the radio.
[08:41] <Starnestommy> *either
[08:41] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: right click on the menu and use "edit menu"
[08:42] <Fryguy--> ozz_: a process can only bind a socket to an interface and port if it isn't being used by another port already.  Use a different address or port for the second instance of the server that you want to run
[08:42] <ubuntufan_> i tried to create it again,  ya i did that
[08:42] <ubuntufan_> but it doesnt work
[08:42] <ozz_> yah, the problem i have one ip
[08:42] <ozz_> i tried diff port and same output
[08:42] <bazhang> nowox, is the computer there in front of you to troubleshoot; yea or nay
[08:42] <ubuntufan_> is there any code or something that automatically recreates the menu
[08:42] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: what do you mean it doesn't work ?
[08:42] <nowox> bazhang, unfortunatly I don't. I'm at work and my laptop is at home!
[08:43] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: there is in the "post" section of the deb when it installs
[08:43] <ubuntufan_> i mean when i create it menu named Wine and again install wine, it doesnt come there
[08:43] <bazhang> nowox, best to troubleshoot with the computer nearby
[08:43] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: it won't come there, you'll need to create the menu manually

[08:51] <ubuntufan_> hey ikonia
[08:52] <ikonia> akuma55: ok thats good, in that you havn't setup a username and password for samba users
[08:52] <japheth> .
[08:52] <ozz_> so guys is there anyway to use one ip but run multiple ircds?
[08:52] <ikonia> akuma55: can't open username map /etc/samba/smbusers. Error No such file or directory see that error
[08:52] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: yes ?
[08:52] <ubuntufan_> i didnt have to recreate the menu , i just removed two words from applications menu under .config/menu and the menu appeared
[08:52] <xcki> does anybody know if you can "refresh" the /dev/disk/by-id after you partition the drive?
[08:52] <ubuntufan_> anyway thanks for helping me
[08:52] <ikonia> ubuntufan_: thats great, well done
[08:53] <ikonia> xcki: restart udev
[08:53] <japheth> does anyone know if there is a better guide to setting up an Ubuntu Server PDC than this one?  http://www.rrcomputerconsulting.com/view.php?article_id=3
[08:53] <akuma55> ikonia, yeah how do i fix that error
[08:53] <ubuntufan_> oh ya the words were <deleted>
[08:53] <xcki> ikonia does that have any negative side effects i might need to be aware of?
[08:53] <ikonia> xcki: nah
[08:54] <ikonia> akuma55: create a samba username and password map. How did you create the samba share ?
[08:54] <akuma55> ikonia, swat
[08:54] <ikonia> akuma55: that doesn't create usernames and passwords for you
[08:55] <akuma55> ikonia, i mad a user name and password
[08:55] <ikonia> akuma55: how ?
[08:55] <xcki> ikonia it doesn't look like /dev/disk/by-id got refreshed it still shows my old two partitions...
[08:56] <ikonia> xcki: is the disk in use ?
[08:56] <joemac1> I am having trouble with getting the sound going on Skype. Anyone got any suggestions?
[08:56] <xcki> ikonia not the one that needs to be refreshed
[08:56] <Submarine> howdie
[08:56] <CO2Fanatic> Who plays conqueronline here?
[08:56] <linda_cute> i google and got the answer
[08:56] <ikonia> xcki: in theory you shouldn't need to do anything but tell udev to re-probe it,
[08:56] <linda_cute> useless server if got any helper like all of you
[08:56] <xcki> ikonia ohh my bad.. it is
[08:57] <Submarine> Would somebody know why I can't use alt+click in Inkscape despite having told the windowmanager that I use super+click for moving windows?
[08:57] <ikonia> xcki: ahhh cool
[08:57] <CO2Fanatic> lmao
[08:57] <ikonia> xcki: you may want to delete the old entries manually
[08:57] <ikonia> !offtopic | CO2Fanatic
[08:57] <xcki> ikonia thanks for asking that quesiton... i wouldn't have thought of it. i'm booting from a cd that mounts the partition automatically (home-rw type deal)
[08:57] <ikonia> xcki: ahhh
[08:57] <ikonia> xcki: that makes sense
[08:57] <akuma55> ikonia,  i cant rember the command
[08:58] <ikonia> akuma55: well, you can't have done as there is no samba usermap
[08:58] <ikonia> akuma55: recreate the username and password for samba

[09:09] <contex28> hi
[09:09] <contex28> J2
[09:09] <t35t0r> it's  faster and you don't have to worry about separate daemons ..it uses ssh and the standard logins/passwords available on a system

[09:14] <apinunt> Is USB usage a problem in Ubuntu? My system has no problems with USB when booting WinXP, which I'm trying hard to reach a point where it is no longer necessary, but I often have problems using a USB Hard drive, memory stick, and today my Sony camera.  The camera auto mounted and I was able to successfully copy all photos, spent several minutes viewing them to assure they were complete, and...
[09:14] <apinunt> ...closed the window, right clicked the icon and clicked on eject. As usual the icon disappeared and no message appeared so after a minute or more I disconnected the cable and then received a message that it was unsafe to remove the device. Perhaps it would be desirable for a safe to remove message to be shown EVERY time an eject is performed?

[09:19] <ozz_> guys has anyone successfully setup multiple ircds in their server?
[09:19] <holyguyver> bazhang , No one told me that it was a bug, everyone told me it was a configuration problem & I have been trying to configure it to work for the past 3 months & nothing worked.
[09:20] <J2> t34t0r - it requires the server to be on the server machiene, and the vlient to be on the client machine. but whats the node or and where does it go? lol
[09:20] <bazhang> holyguyver, it is a bug.

[09:35] <Flannel> cyberbuff: Just update
[09:35] <lyte> bazhang, i think it's still a fresh edgy install, it's an old forgotten about server that i need to upgrade and i don't want to rebuild
[09:35] <FlyingWV> lyte: You can go into a terminal and use the command: lsb_release -a
[09:35] <cyberbuff> Flannel: ok
[09:35] <FlyingWV> lyte: That will show you which version you have
[09:36] <bazhang> lyte edgy? you're sure about that?
[09:36] <Flannel> lyte: You need to change your repository URLs to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ that'll allow you to upgrade to the most recent edgy, and then to Feisty from that

[09:43] <The_ManU_212> genii: how to detect 100% if its the ram?
[09:44] <genii> The_ManU_212: When the ram errors are sporadic it's usually a cooling issue
[09:44] <The_ManU_212> genii: the system runs as it is since 3 years, and my case has no place for extra fan
[09:45] <koshari> what would the terminal command to mount /dev/hda5 as a ntfs filesystem to location /home/user/target be?
[09:45] <koshari> iam thinking mount -a /dev/hda5 ntfs /home/user/target
[09:45] <koshari> ?
[09:45] <genii> The_ManU_212: When I want intensively to test the ram I slightly overclock it and run the memtest. Since this makes it warm up and show errors immediately that will later only be apparent when it overheats during normal use.

[09:52] <chriswr> is this a chat room?
[09:52] <genii> The_ManU_212: That sounds well within limits. Most intels for instance begin to fail at around 70-75C
[09:52] <Gothfunc_> sorry, should be sda1 and sda2
[09:52] <sandman> chriswr, yes
[09:52] <koshari> Gothfunc_: as flannel stated, however if yu have some ide drives also you may need to check your devices file
[09:52] <The_ManU_212> genii: so what to do? :/
[09:52] <Gothfunc_> koshari: well... it IS an ide drive so i'm a bit confused as to why it's sda ;)
[09:53] <ScaryFast> so if I want to use webcam sites like live.yahoo.com I suppose linux is not for me? I can't make even displaying of other peoples cams work in firefox
[09:53] <FlyingWV> chriswr: Yes, for Ubuntu related support queries :)
[09:53] <koshari> Gothfunc_: check /boot/grub/device.map and there should be a map
[09:53] <genii> The_ManU_212: Ram temp limits are probably different than cpu limits. I'd clean out the case with a vacuum, make sure it's clean and ram seated properly, try memtest after this again for a few cycles to see if same error reappears.
[09:53] <Gothfunc_> (hd0) /dev/sda
[09:53] <Gothfunc_> ok
[09:54] <Gothfunc_> so why the error? :s
[09:54] <genii> The_ManU_212: At any rate, it seems to be more a hardware issue than an Ubuntu-specific one
[09:54] <sandman> chriswr, plz post in the public mode so that others can benefit from your query...it is not considered good ettiquette to post unsolicited private msgs...see guidelines
[09:54] <koshari> Gothfunc_ its not really an error, its just grubs convention only looks at hd8 syntax
[09:54] <The_ManU_212> genii: the ram should sit well, i never move the machine and it works since years without seg fault, i cleaned the case 2 weeks ago
[09:55] <sandman> chriswr, you can download compiz-fusion from System>Administration>Synaptic
[09:55] <The_ManU_212> genii: and the ram errors in memtest are very little, only one error in 3 passes
[09:55] <The_ManU_212> i think this isnt many
[09:55] <chriswr> sandman, what would it be listed under/as?
[09:55] <genii> The_ManU_212: ANY errors in ram is bad.
[09:56] <Gothfunc_> koshari: so which error am i not supposed to be paying attention to?  the one that says my disk doesn't exist? ;)
[09:56] <Gothfunc_> koshari: so i need to use rootnoverify?
[09:56] <maniac> hey
[09:56] <TZ1> what do i have to type in to end compiz with gnome? like kwin --replace in kubuntu?
[09:56] <genii> The_ManU_212: With ECC ram you can sometimes let it go for a while, but not the regular stuff. ram problems is exactly the symptoms you describe of segfaults as well
[09:56] <maniac> can anyone guide me
[09:56] <The_ManU_212> genii: it was test 6, modulo 20, zeros and ones
[09:56] <ne> i need help in installing VIA p4m900 display drivers
[09:57] <maniac> helllooo
[09:57] <maniac> can anyone guide me?
[09:57] <maniac> i need to enable graphjic effects
[09:57] <holyguyver> Sorry about that guys my internet for some reason stopped working & refused to work until now
[09:57] <sandman> chriswr, search for compiz..but before that you need to have the latest graphics dfrivers installed
[09:57] <maniac> i have ubuntu 8.04
[09:57] <gordonjcp> !anyone | maniac
[09:57] <genii> The_ManU_212: Buy new ram, is the best suggestion
[09:57] <chriswr> sandman, allreddy done that , so i think i should be good to go , thnx  :)
[09:58] <holyguyver> FlyingWV & bazhang sorry about my net stopped working & refused to connect until now, so sorry for dropping out there.
[09:58] <maniac> does anyone know how to enable graphic features?
[09:58] <genii> The_ManU_212: Since most ram is guaranteed for a number of years you may vene be able to get a refund on the faulty stuff
[09:58] <koshari> Gothfunc_ not as far as i know, what prob are you actually having error 22?
[09:58] <maniac> effects*
[09:58] <The_ManU_212> genii: and how to detect which of my 2 ram it is?
[09:58] <FlyingWV> holyguyver: Could you copy your pastebin info again? I'll look at it
[09:58] <maniac> muahahah
[09:58] <Gothfunc_> koshari: 21
[09:58] <The_ManU_212> genii: one ram is about 5 years old, the other i think about 3
[09:59] <maniac> does anyone know how I can enable graphic effects on my lappy?
[09:59] <holyguyver> FlyingWV yes I was in the middle of pastbining it when I lost connection
[09:59] <genii> The_ManU_212: Pull 1 stick. Run the test. If good, test the other. Etc
[09:59] <maniac> muhaahah
[09:59] <chriswr> maniac, all i had to do was install the latest driver and mine worked
[09:59] <holyguyver> Here you go FlyingWV http://paste.ubuntu.com/25879/
[09:59] <ne>  i need help in installing VIA p4m900 display drivers
[09:59] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> greetings, what are the names of the "unstable" repositorys in ubuntu?
[10:00] <maniac> its not happenening in mine chriswr
[10:00] <Titan> Hello
[10:00] <The_ManU_212> genii: ok but the problem is only one error in 3 passes, and i made today one pass and nothing happens, im afraid to detect nothing anymore :/
[10:00] <maniac> i mean i have totally updated it
[10:00] <koshari> Gothfunc_: boot of the live cd, mount your file sys, navigat to /boot/grub/device.map and see what your os partition is mapped to,
[10:00] <ne> i want to know if any one is using via display drivers?
[10:00] <maniac> ??????????????????????????????????????
[10:01] <Gothfunc_> koshari: already done.  hd0
[10:01] <genii> The_ManU_212: What else can I tell you?
[10:01] <Titan> Im having a problem with 2 things. the first is My logitech webcam, and the second is an NTFS harddrive
[10:01] <maniac> grrr
[10:01] <maniac> this sucks donkeys
[10:01] <maniac> like brrr
[10:01] <Titan> can anyone help?
[10:01] <Gothfunc_> koshari: (hd0) /dev/sda
[10:01] <holyguyver> Kosheri what is the altamit answer to life the universe & everything?
[10:02] <jianfei> ive installed a heap of apps and removed a lot is there anyway to tidy things up?
[10:02] <koshari> then change the entry in menu.1st and then run grub root , setup as per here, http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux or edit the grub line to reflect it temrerarily at boottime
[10:02] <chriswr> is compiz-fusion just like beryl or are they different in some way?
[10:02] <Gothfunc_> koshari: and if i grub> setup (hd0) i get error 12, "invalid device requested"#
[10:02] <The_ManU_212> genii: ok i dont think
[10:02] <The_ManU_212> the heat is the problem
[10:02] <rsk> chriswr: beryl is old and depracated
[10:03] <The_ManU_212> also i think the ram is placed well and i get sporadic errors
[10:03] <chriswr> ok , thnx
[10:03] <The_ManU_212> in memtest
[10:03] <The_ManU_212> adn thudnerbird crashes opften
[10:03] <Gothfunc_> holyguyver: i don't think that will help any of us right now ;o
[10:03] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Could just be going bad... also may have bad timings set in the BIOS settings, memory stick issues are tricky
[10:03] <Gothfunc_> holyguyver: unless i should be doing grub> root (hd42,0)
[10:03] <Titan> holyguyver: its 42
[10:04] <smick222> can somebody help me with an ntfs command. I've got a failing hard drive.
[10:04] <Titan> But can anyone help me >.>
[10:04] <wuxia> what linux prog can i use to listen to online radiso that have files like:
[10:04] <wuxia> File1=http://www.live365.com/play/294341?auth=c2dc52a0989ff2b18e3a2038db08bb8e-1215536607-velvet_ant&tag=live365&token=18181df664abd322eb80d171dae8b7e4-0309080080301120&sid=<IP_ADDRESS>-1215507722689&lid=807-usa&from=pls
[10:04] <Titan> Same here, I need NTFS help
[10:04] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: i didnt changed anything in bios, all default
[10:04] <genii> The_ManU_212: Facts: ANY ram errors (sporadic or consistent) cause segfaults        ..your ram (at least one stick of it) is relatively old        ..memtest shows failures
[10:05] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: In my experience, default's not always stable either :) I had to actually tinker with my BIOS settings to make my computer stable
[10:05] <koshari> Gothfunc_ with setup you need to indicate the partition as well, ie, (hd0,1)
[10:05] <Titan> help...
[10:05] <genii> The_ManU_212: It all shows the ram is failing, whether only once in a while does not matter since it only takes one time in a trillion cycles to make it segfault
[10:05] <koshari> Gothfunc_ sorry, that is for root/
[10:05] <holyguyver> Gothfunc there is some cli program that has an easter egg about that answer 42.
[10:05] <chuy_max> wuxia, you can use tunapie to fetch shoutcast urls and redirect them to any audio player
[10:05] <Fructose> wuxia: Have you tried Rhythmbox?
[10:05] <Gothfunc_> koshari: i have been
[10:05] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: ok, youre right, but since the last days i never got seg fault with my bios, so i think my settinsg are stable
[10:05] <Gothfunc_> koshari: did you see my examples? :P
[10:06] <smick222> I can't write to a hard drive, showing up as a media disk.  I need to know, ntfsmount commands specifics
[10:06] <Titan> How do I access an NTFS hard drive? The ntfs3 tool doesnt work for me
[10:06] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: I agree with genii I think, it points to your sticks failing, unfortunately
[10:06] <Gothfunc_> koshari: root (hd0,1) should be where /boot is
[10:06] <smick222> Titan: you mean view or write?
[10:06] <holyguyver> FlyingWV any ideo on my problem?
[10:06] <koshari> Gothfunc_: no ididnt see your example, i would imagine the setup error means you have a error in your menu.1st file
[10:06] <Titan> Either
[10:06] <chuy_max> !ntfs-3g | Titan
[10:06] <FlyingWV> holyguyver: Sorry, I'm not familiar with your sound card, I wish I could help
[10:06] <Gothfunc_> koshari: invalid drive error is because of my menu.lst?
[10:07] <Gothfunc_> koshari: are you sure?
[10:07] <l815> how come when i click to download a torrent, transmission runs but doesn't load the torrent>
[10:07] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: yes, now thudnerbird runs normally and i think its the ram, btw the error yesterday was in 974.1MB of 1024
[10:07] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: I'd definitely test the 5 year old memory stick solo first, that's most likely the one that is failing
[10:07] <koshari> Gothfunc_: not totally sure but basicly the output fron setup is devived from the menu.1st info
[10:08] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: ok
[10:08] <Gothfunc_> koshari: there are no references to drives that don't exist in menu.lst.  i think setup is whining about the parameter i passed it (hd0)
[10:08] <Gothfunc_> koshari: this is also confirmed by the fact that root () complains too
[10:08] <holyguyver> Gothfunc where were you when we sacked Rome?
[10:09] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Also just a quick note, I think common wisdom that paired memory modules work better together
[10:09] <Gothfunc_> holyguyver: in rome ;(
[10:09] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: So buying a pair is preferrable, if you go the route of buying new memory
[10:09] <koshari> Gothfunc_: whats your output from this find /boot/grub/stage1
[10:09] <holyguyver> Gothfunc Neat, thanks for the help, it was a good sacking :)
[10:10] <XChat> Hi everyone!
[10:10] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: ok, and if my MB uses 333mhz can i also use 400mhz ram or is my ram then running slower, i only now that if mainboard or ram  (dont know which, or both) its running slower
[10:10] <Gothfunc_> koshari: wait.. do i have to be working with /boot/grub and not /.../boot/grub?
[10:11] <holyguyver> Hi XChat, you knwo I am using you right now :p
[10:11] <The_ManU_212> because here 333mhz are more expensive
[10:11] <Gothfunc_> koshari: that is, i have to chroot not just mount?
[10:11] <XChat> I found a bug!
[10:11] <Smegzor> I changed the root password in mysql and now dpkg can't connect to mysql.  Do I need to reinstall mysql to fix this or is there another way?
[10:11] <soreau> Is there a gnome application available for use of a virtual keyboard? Mouse click to key gui? Using Hardy btw
[10:11] <chriswr> ive installed everything witht he word compiz in synaptic and i cant find any file on my computer to use is , can somone help me out?
[10:11] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Timings are a tricky subject, multipliers and all those issues
[10:12] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Right now my memory is slightly underclocked for stability I think, a lot of depends on your mother board, the options you have to change in BIOS, etc
[10:12] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: ok
[10:12] <koshari> Gothfunc_: you need to be working with the /boot on the filesystem, not the one in the ramdrive
[10:13] <koshari> Gothfunc_: you dont have to chroot either
[10:13] <gooody> how can i uninstall applications installed using sh command?
[10:13] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: so if i get new 2gb ram and have a swap of 1gb thats enough?
[10:13] <Gothfunc_> koshari: well stage1 is there
[10:14] <Gothfunc_> koshari: /mnt/boot/grub/stage1
[10:14] <XChat> I placed the folder "documents" in the desktop some time ago; then I downloaded some images using firefox and placed them on that folder (Documents); When I opened the folder The images werent there! But I went to the Documents folder using the menu and they are there! but they are not there when I open the documents folder using the icon in the desktop! thats all
[10:14] <Titan> My problem now is, when I use the command " sudo apt-get install ntfs-config " It says that I dont have libdbus, even though I do
[10:14] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Yes, right now I have only 2GB of Ram, it runs find, I have another 2GB that I can put in, but I don't feel like messing with the stability issues
[10:15] <JC_Denton_> uisng xsensors - is my sys temp supposed to be higher than my cpu temp?
[10:15] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Granted I have 2GB of ram and 2GB of swap, but my swap is hardly ever used
[10:15] <chriswr> ive installed everything witht he word compiz in synaptic and i cant find any file on my computer to use is , can somone help me out?
[10:15] <soreau> chriswr: Gnome?
[10:16] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: stability issues with 4 gb of what? ubuntu?
[10:16] <newbee617> any one use pcman file manager? how can i change the default doub-click to single click plz?
[10:16] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: my MB only supports maximum 2gb
[10:16] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: I have four 1 GB memory sticks, but only have two in my machine
[10:16] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: I would need to change the timings in my BIOS to make it stable with 4, and just dont feel like doing it :)
[10:16] <chriswr> soreau, what you mean?
[10:16] <koshari> Gothfunc_ are you running the find command from grub, ie, grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
[10:17] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: ah ok
[10:17] <koshari> Gothfunc_  it should simply retern a hd string
[10:17] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Size itself is not an issue, but if you go to four memory sticks, you would need to change the timings to 2T, and I have mine at 1T... lots of nitpicky things with memory sticks
[10:17] <chriswr> do i need to install gnome also?
[10:17] <soreau> chriswr: System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>Extra
[10:18] <chriswr> got that selected
[10:18] <chriswr> is that all i need?
[10:18] <spoonwizard> Hello, I want to monitor network users on my local network using ubuntu 8.04 hardy, I have monitor how much bandwidth each use per month on the Internet, any tools that I can use? I tried ipfm but I don't know how to work with it. Is there anything better?
[10:18] <perfector> there is no fluxbox-generate_menu in the fluxbox package that comes with 8.04.
[10:19] <perfector> any idea from where i can download it?
[10:19] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: yes, i didnt know that it can be so complicated, so first when i finished working, i will test my 5 years old ram and then i'll buy new one
[10:20] <orgthingy> I lost my password on my other PC (ubuntu 6.06)
[10:20] <FlyingWV> The_ManU_212: Yes, good luck
[10:20] <orgthingy> how can i reset it or something?
[10:20] <Gothfunc_> koshari: i was running from the console, not grub.  in grub it says file not found, in the console it just lists the file as if i used ls
[10:20] <babo> my laptop connection to my home router keeps going up and down. I've checked the daemon log and it appears that my laptop puts in a DHCP renewal every 1500 seconds or so. I'm not sure whether that's the reason or not. But is that normal ?
[10:20] <babo> to renew so often ?
[10:20] <genii> orgthingy: Boot to single user mode. Issue something like:     passwd username                   where "username" is the username to change it for
[10:20] <koshari> Gothfunc_: you need to have your filessytem mounted with the boot/grub dir on it,
[10:20] <Gothfunc_> koshari: and i assume you mean /mnt/grub/boot/stage1, i.e. the stuff on sda2, not ram
[10:21] <The_ManU_212> FlyingWV: thx
[10:21] <raheem> babo: isn't it set on the router ?
[10:21] <Gothfunc_> koshari: it is
[10:21] <Flannel> orgthingy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[10:21] <holyguyver> Gothfunc out of curiosity what is your age?
[10:21] <Gothfunc_> koshari: it's at /mnt/boot/grub/stage1
[10:21] <genii> Flannel: Ah, nice
[10:21] <koshari> Gothfunc_: so you can browse the hard drive partition where you installed ubuntu? then find should be able to detect it?
[10:21] <Gothfunc_> koshari: find /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 just returns "stage1"
[10:21] <orgthingy> thanks
[10:22] <Gothfunc_> koshari: yes, i did, i told you the output ;)
[10:22] <perfector> there is no fluxbox-generate_menu in the fluxbox package that comes with 8.04. where can i download it from?
[10:23] <koshari> Gothfunc_: dunno mate, iam a bit confused now, how did you install?
[10:23] <Gothfunc_> koshari: you want me typing this in grub or not?  in grub find says file not found, in bash find says "stage1"
[10:23] <Gothfunc_> koshari: installed from hardy cd
[10:24] <Ademan> hey, it seems that ubuntu's version of nginx is ridiculously old, can i be assured that it's receiving proper security attention?  or am I better off building the latest stable version from source?
[10:24] <s3a> im trying to run half-life 2 under wine 1.1.0 in ubuntu 8.04 lts x86_64 with the i386 and amd64 package and i get same problem
[10:25] <s3a> error for half-life 2: unable to get IFileSystem interface from filesystem factory"
[10:25] <koshari> Gothfunc_ in grub,
[10:25] <Ademan> s3a: have you tried in #winehq ? that's the dedicated wine support channel, also you might try googling the error
[10:25] <Gothfunc_> koshari: it says file not found
[10:25] <s3a> Ademan: ill check the wine irc channel thx
[10:26] <koshari> i dont know why grub wont find the grub configs if the drive is mounted?
[10:26] <JC_Denton_> uisng xsensors - is my sys temp supposed to be higher than my cpu temp?
[10:26] <raheem> koshari: may be not using sudo
[10:26] <Flannel> Ademan: From the version number, it doesn't appear like it has.  You should contact the maintainer about getting it updated, and in the mean time, you may have to roll your own
[10:26] <FlyingWV> On my machine at least, grub is in /boot/grub/
[10:26] <koshari> Gothfunc_: did you sudo grub?
[10:26] <FlyingWV> Not /mnt/boot/grub
[10:26] <Gothfunc_> raheem: cheers, sorted
[10:27] <Gothfunc_> ;D
[10:27] <raheem> :)
[10:27] <Ademan> s3a: no problem, also http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2890   contains lots of test data from people trying to run hl2 on wine, and may contain fixes for that error
[10:27] <Gothfunc_> stupid mistake to make.  some kind of hint from the program would've been nice though!
[10:27] <Gothfunc_> thanks anyway koshari
[10:27] <Ademan> Flannel: thanks as always, do you know if there's a (hypothetically) way to sponsor package maintenance?
[10:28] <Flannel> Ademan: yes!  #ubuntu-motu can tell you all about it
[10:28] <koshari> Gothfunc_: postbin the output of, sudo fdisk -l
[10:28] <Gothfunc_> koshari: it's all sorted.  it was sudo
[10:28] <Gothfunc_> thanks
[10:29] <Gothfunc_> silly me etc
[10:29] <koshari> Gothfunc_ it said that in the link i sent you, :0 but anyway good 2 see you got to the bottom of iot
[10:29] <Ademan> Flannel: thanks, definitely something i'll look into if things work out for me :-)
[10:30] <Gothfunc_> koshari: you sent me a link? ;)
[10:31] <apinunt> Can anyone provide me with some commands that would provide info related to the USB ports of my computer, so far lsusb is all I've found and it doesn't tell much.
[10:32] <cai> If I've built intltool from source (so that I have the newest version), how can I make Synaptic use it when adding packages with intltool as a dependency?
[10:33] <FlyingWV> apinunt: Well, not sure if it's what you want, but lsusb -v will give you a ton of info to read on your devices
[10:34] <J1> hey guys. I just downloaded the .deb files for the NX server (server, client, node) from the webpage, but cant find a usefull guide to configure the server. can anyone point me to a good and up to date guide or help me get the process started and point me to where the configuration is done so i can figure the rest out? thanks!
[10:34] <chriswr> can anyone tell me how to use my emerald themes?
[10:35] <Ademan> chriswr: are you using compiz?
[10:35] <Smegzor> yay!  problem solved :)  I 'broke' the update manager when I changed the mysql root password.  It could no longer connect to mysql.  The fix was to go into mysql and type this  SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = password('');
[10:35] <raheem> J1: tried this ? http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=5
[10:35] <koshari> Gothfunc_: for next time, :-) http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux?s=grub
[10:35] <chriswr> i dont even know if im running that
[10:35] <apinunt> FlyingWV: I'll try that. I have 4 ports, 2 front and 2 rear, which are supposed to be USB2.0 and they all work fine in WinXP, but many problems in Ubuntu which vary depending on which port is used.
[10:36] <Flannel> Smegzor: update manager shouldn't care what mysqls root password is (and you do want to have one)  update-manager shouldn't be connecting to your SQL server.
[10:36] <J1> raheem - yes but there are only installation instructions. ive done that and its installed. but i cant find any place to start the service
[10:36] <Ademan> chriswr: well they're compiz window themes, you can see if you're running it with this command:   ps -aux | grep -i compiz      if anything shows up (besides that line itself, you should be running compiz)
[10:36] <Smegzor> Flannel: Tell it that because it most certainly does care and does connect.
[10:37] <Ademan> chriswr: also under system->preferences->appearance,   under desktop effects, if you are using basic or advanced desktop effects you're using compiz
[10:37] <raheem> http://www.nomachine.com/documentation/admin-guide.php
[10:37] <J1> raheem - nvm just foudn smth
[10:37] <J1> raheem - ah thx
[10:37] <raheem> k
[10:37] <Ademan> chriswr: the second way i mentioned is probably a better way to find out
[10:37] <spoonwizard> Hello, I want to monitor network users on my local network using ubuntu 8.04 hardy, I have monitor how much bandwidth each use per month on the Internet, any tools that I can use? I tried ipfm but I don't know how to work with it. Is there anything better?
[10:37] <Gothfunc_> koshari: thanks, but i think i'll be fine now i know to check the obvious ;)
[10:37] <J1> raheem - thats what i just found ^_^ thanks anyway, didnt see that before
[10:38] <Flannel> Smegzor: dpkg works just fine without MySQL installed, it really shouldn't be connecting.
[10:38] <raheem> no probs J1
[10:38] <Smegzor> I think it connects when packages that use mysql want to be set up.  I have been installing a few for my web server.
[10:38] <chriswr> ademan , i checked the second way and i am running compiz
[10:39] <Smegzor> the last package that would not install with a root password set was mtop
[10:39] <J1> raheem - i didnt manually install any aditional libraries. it would have asked for them if they are missing when i installed the .deb file right?
[10:40] <caligarn1037> hi, can anyone help me with "wine"?....
[10:40] <Ademan> chriswr: i'm not positive this will work, but you can try it, again under system->preferences->appearance       there's an 'install' button, try to use it to install the package (just click it and then select the emerald file)
[10:40] <J1> caligarn1037 - what do u need help with?
[10:40] <Ademan> caligarn1037: #winehq is the dedicated wine channel, but you can ask in here as well
[10:41] <caligarn1037> when i try to open a .pub file under the wine microsoft publisher...it gives me a "windows doesn't have enough memory error"
[10:41] <raheem> i guess so.. don't have much experience with nx though
[10:41] <raheem> but, u didn't get any errors, right ?
[10:41] <J1> raheem - no not yet lol
[10:41] <raheem> good luck :)

[10:44] <raheem> !patience | spoonwizard
[10:45] <spoonwizard> I thought you can not see my text because it is gray...
[10:45] <raheem> spoonwizard:  in that case, why don't u change the colour :)
[10:46] <spoonwizard> I did but it does not want to...
[10:46] <chriswr> can anyone help me , im having problems installing emerald themes , they show up in my emerald themer window but cant seem to figure out how to use them
[10:46] <raheem> spoonwizard: i don't have experience with your issue.. so, can't help
[10:46] <raheem> chriswr: can't u select the the theme there ?
[10:47] <juzzydee> Is sda1 referring to my hdd?
[10:47] <chriswr> i can click on it , but id doesnt change anything
[10:47] <raheem> juzzydee: yes
[10:47] <spoonwizard> Ok, thank you.
[10:47] <juzzydee> Uh oh spaghettio
[10:47] <juzzydee> "ata1.00: error {UNC }" can't be a good thing.
[10:47] <raheem> just type sudo fdisk -l (that's a L)
[10:48] <rssy> spoonwizard: I think you must do that from your gateway host
[10:48] <juzzydee> mixed in with other anonymous error messages that prevent me from booting, after the laptop took a slight fall.
[10:48] <juzzydee> I think I may be forking out for a new hard drive?
[10:50] <FlyingWV> juzzydee: I would say your hard drive is failing, probably
[10:50] <juzzydee> That's some fair coin to spend on probably.
[10:50] <juzzydee> But I'm not seeing much other choice.
[10:50] <rssy> juzzydee: maybe new HD will fix your problem ... ;)
[10:50] <spoonwizard> The server is a firewall that also acts as the gateway for all the computers on the network, but I dont know what software to use for that type of monitoring..
[10:50] <babo> how do i find my run queue length over a period of 2-5mins ?
[10:51] <juzzydee> It does throw Beffer I.O error on deveice sda, logical block 16 every now and then
[10:51] <juzzydee> Beffer = Buffer.
[10:51] <juzzydee> Lot's of other blocks too, that's just an example
[10:51] <rssy> spoonwizard: maybe you can use MRTG
[10:52] <rssy> you can combine that with Nagios.
[10:52] <raheem> spoonwizard: i know that there are specific distros for that .. don't know how to it on ubuntu though
[10:52] <juzzydee> I've not had much to do with laptops, generally shunning them for the low cost of desktop machines, so this will be an exercise trying to work out what I'm buying
[10:52] <pradeep> hi all
[10:53] <raheem> ipcop does that, i am sure
[10:53] <pradeep> i'm unable to format my pen drive
[10:53] <pradeep> i need help
[10:53] <raheem> pradeep: any error
[10:53] <pradeep> nope
[10:53] <pradeep> how do format
[10:53] <pradeep> how do i format
[10:54] <LSD|Ninja> pradeep: mkfs.whateverfsyouwant -flags /dev/pendrive
[10:54] <Smegzor> Flannel: I found out the correct way to install mtop.  Its now working even though root has a password and despite failing to install due to expecting no password.  My problem with dpkg failing was really just the mtop install failing.
[10:54] <genii> pradeep: Has it been partitioned already?
[10:54] <pradeep> i nope
[10:54] <genii> pradeep: If you run gparted it should help you partition then format it
[10:55] <rssy> pradeep: try with gparted.
[10:55] <pradeep> gparted
[10:55] <pradeep> ??
[10:55] <spoonwizard> what is MRTG a package?
[10:55] <rssy> or for more chalenging you can parted, it's a command line utility.
[10:55] <juzzydee> Hrmms, can a hdd "settle" back into place after a shock?
[10:55] <pradeep> i just want to format it
[10:55] <raheem> pradeep: the best way would be, go to System > Administration > Partition Editor (Gparted) .. use it
[10:55] <pradeep> i dun want to make any partitions as such
[10:55] <pradeep> ok
[10:55] <rssy> spoonwizard: I thin soo,
[10:56] <genii> pradeep: You can't format a disk that hasn't been partitioned yet. Gparted will let you do both in one shot
[10:56] <spoonwizard> ya, lol
[10:56] <rssy> but you can easily install that because that's only perl script.
[10:56] <juzzydee> After about half an hour of repeating bad block this, ata1 error that
[10:56] <raheem> pradeep: in Gparted, in the top right corner, you will find a drop down list, make sure, you select your pendrive ;)
[10:56] <rssy> pradeep: you must create partiotion before you can format your pendrive.
[10:56] <juzzydee> That installer GUI just started up
[10:56]  * genii sips his coffee and washes some Advil down with it
[10:56] <pradeep> create partition
[10:56] <C_Jack> Hello guys, i need help, pls help me ; ]
[10:56] <pradeep> how do i make that
[10:57] <raheem> pradeep: in Gparted, you can
[10:57] <Fructose> pradeep: Are you trying to say you want to overwrite the data on the disk so that it isn't recoverable?
[10:57] <FlyingWV> juzzydee: I doubt that it'll get better, there are probably bad sectors and I imagine it'll only get worse
[10:57] <pradeep> no
[10:57] <juzzydee> Oh well, 40gb is too small anyway :)
[10:57] <FlyingWV> juzzydee: Yep :) I enjoy my 500gb
[10:57] <raheem> pradeep: what exactly you want to do, i am confused now
[10:58] <pradeep> raheem>i want to format my pen drive
[10:58] <pradeep> that's it
[10:58] <pradeep> n i'm unable to do so
[10:58] <raheem> so, use Gparted :)
[10:58] <Fructose> raheem: Probably what you thought. I just thought maybe he misunderstood the word "format", which is common.
[10:58] <pradeep> ok
[10:58] <pradeep> i'm trying to
[10:58] <pradeep> :))
[10:58] <juzzydee> What do you think of Western Digital?
[10:58] <pradeep> raheem>i'm in gparted
[10:58] <pradeep> what next
[10:58] <kakalotsai> hello
[10:59] <raheem> pradeep: see the top right corner, you find a drop down list ?
[10:59] <FlyingWV> juzzydee: They make good hard drives, the last computer I built had one, my current is a Seagate though
[10:59] <kakalotsai> it's the first time i use ubuntu :)
[10:59] <chriswr> does anyone know a link on how to get the box effect?
[10:59] <C_Jack> HELLOOOOOOOOO i need help!!!
[10:59] <raheem> chriswr: u mean the cube ?
[10:59] <chriswr> yeah
[10:59] <Flannel> chriswr: install simple-ccsm or compizconfig-settings-manager, and then change from "pane" to cube (or something like that) for workspace switching
[10:59] <Fructose> kakalotsai: Congrats. This is a help channel though, so not a lot of people here to chat. :-)
[10:59] <tparcina> how to change port on vsftpd? I can't find the line in /etc/vsftpd.conf that defines that one
[11:00] <juzzydee> I think I need IDE, and I seem to be able to grab a WD 160gb for $70
[11:00] <pradeep> raheem>drop down
[11:00] <pradeep> asen't
[11:00] <HyperStream> how do i make my surround / center / sub work with a sblive pc card- ?
[11:00] <HyperStream> i can get sound from left right front with speaker-test -c 6 -surrond51
[11:00] <tparcina> right now vsftpd is listening on port 21, and I would like to change it to some other
[11:00] <pradeep> raheem>there'sno drop down
[11:00] <FlyingWV> juzzydee: Seems about right, storage is pretty cheap nowadays, in my experience WD has been pretty solid
[11:00] <HyperStream> -c 6 -D surround51
[11:00] <raheem> hmm..
[11:00] <pradeep> as such
[11:00] <wuxia> clear
[11:00] <wuxia> ls
[11:00] <HyperStream> !sblive
[11:01] <chriswr> flannel, is that in synaptic?
[11:01] <pradeep> raheem> i just want to format thats it
[11:01] <Musli> how big swap partition is needed for ubuntu?
[11:01] <HyperStream> !soundblaster
[11:01] <Fructose> C_Jack: Have you told anyone what your problem is?
[11:01] <Flannel> chriswr: Both should be, yes.  You're on 8.04, correct?
[11:01] <chriswr> yeah
[11:01] <raheem> can you give the output of sudo fdisk -l in a console
[11:01] <rssy> Musli: It's depend .
[11:01] <pradeep> i need to format my pen drive
[11:01] <pradeep> :(
[11:02] <pradeep> i need help
[11:02] <Fructose> Musli: It is common to use 2 to 2.5 as much swap space as you have RAM.
[11:02] <Musli> ok
[11:02] <Flannel> chriswr: They're both in universe (but universe is enabled by default now).  And if thats all you want to do, I suggest simple-ccsm (although you can have both installed, no problem.  The simple one is a... well, simplified version of the other)
[11:02] <Fructose> Musli: So if you have 1 GB RAM, 2 or 2.5 GB of swap space would be normal. That's not to say those are the minimum, though.
[11:02] <rssy> Musli : My System not have swap partition...
[11:03] <pradeep> raheem> u there
[11:03] <pradeep> help out m8
[11:03] <Musli> ok thx alot
[11:03] <rssy> I uselot of VM at my system .
[11:03] <pradeep> raheem>u there
[11:03] <chriswr> ok , thnx just got the simple-ccsm installed
[11:03] <C_Jack> i have problem with this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/25889/
[11:03] <chriswr> now what?
[11:03] <FlyingWV> I think that once you get over 2GB of RAM you don't really need 2x swap anymore, in most cases... I have 2gb RAM and 2gb swap, hardly use any swap at all
[11:04] <chriswr> nvm i got it
[11:04] <rssy> If you have 4Gb of RAM i think you not need SWAP .
[11:04] <chriswr> thnx a LOT
[11:04] <Musli> and what filesystem do you recommend?
[11:04] <lyte> is there an easy way to have apt identify which files is hasn't installed, or alternatively all the ones it has?
[11:04] <rssy> Musli: For swap ?
[11:05] <Musli> not for swap
[11:05] <Flannel> lyte: What do you mean?
[11:05] <pradeep> i need to format my pen drive
[11:05] <Flannel> lyte: What are you trying to find out?
[11:05] <pradeep> i need to format my pen drive
[11:05] <pradeep> help
[11:06] <Tita1> I have a problem
[11:06] <rssy> pradeep: can you plug and unplug you pendrive.
[11:06] <lyte> Flannel, say i've put files all over the place (outside of my home directory), can i get apt to give me a list of which files in path /xyz it hasn't installed?
[11:06] <pradeep> yes
[11:06] <pradeep> it's all ready plugged in
[11:06] <Musli> should i use ReiserFS or ext3?
[11:06] <pradeep> lyte
[11:07] <pradeep> rssy
[11:07] <Tita1> I finally got the NTFS drivers, but now it says "Permission needed to access MINE" ( The name of my NTFS drive )
[11:07] <Oins> Is it possible to get an intermediate result from rsync? Something like the kill -USR1 used with the dd command. I like to assess how long rsync needs for the syncronisation.
[11:07] <Tita1> I cant get any more power though, im root
[11:07] <pradeep> i need to format my pen drive
[11:07] <Flannel> lyte: I'm less sure of that, but dpkg -S /path/to/file will check for an individual file (it'll give the package its in)
[11:07] <FlyingWV> Musli: I'd suggest ext3 myself, I think the creater of ReiserFS is in prison now...
[11:07] <synque> musli: since reiser is in jail it's probably better to use ext3
[11:07] <pradeep> i need to format my pen drive
[11:07] <pradeep> how do i do that
[11:07] <Tita1> Is there another way to access the drive?
[11:07] <lyte> pradeep, i can't find anything called rssy...
[11:07] <Musli> oh god :P
[11:08] <pradeep> rssy was a user
[11:08] <lyte> ok
[11:08] <pradeep> srry for that
[11:08] <Flannel> lyte: Oh.  You can also use dpkg -L package, to get a list of all the packages in that file.  That combined with dpkg -l (or any number of other ways to list the files) and you could get all the files
[11:08] <pradeep> lyte
[11:08] <pradeep> can u help me formatting my usb pen drive
[11:08] <genii> pradeep: The point of unplugging it then replugging it is to then look at the output of command: dmesg|tail  to discover what device it is. This is important so as not to format the wrong device.
[11:08] <Oins> Musli: i would use ext3
[11:08] <lyte> Flannel, ta dpkg will do, i can script the search :)
[11:08] <Musli> ok i have ext3
[11:08] <juzzydee> Once again I learn an important lesson in backing up the hardway
[11:09] <Flannel> lyte: You could ls your path and dpkg -S too.  And that will probably require less.
[11:09] <juzzydee> I was using this machine as a django development machine. Months of spare time... gone :(
[11:09] <Flannel> lyte: just get every file in that directory, and dpkg -S it and check for output
[11:09] <scorpian> @pradeep type #sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
[11:09] <Tita1> Can someone help me?
[11:09] <genii> pradeep: The command will have some line with something like:    /dev/sdd                or such
[11:09] <lyte> Flannel, time isn't an issue, just reliability, yeh i'll do it with find + xargs, cheers
[11:10] <genii> scorpian: How do you know his sdb is formatted? Additionlly how do you know sdb is his pendrive? It assumes much
[11:10] <genii> formatted -> partitioned
[11:10] <pradeep>  /dev/sdb1 contains a mounted file system.
[11:10] <pradeep> genii
[11:10] <pradeep> it says  /dev/sdb1 contains a mounted file system.
[11:10] <FlyingWV> lyte: You can check which all packages are installed in synaptic package manager
[11:11] <scorpian> well usuall itz tat way
[11:11] <FlyingWV> lyte: Under status, then installed or not installed category, it will list them
[11:11] <Tita1> Is there anyone who can help me with Hard drive access troubles over private chat?
[11:11] <scorpian> pradeep: just use gtparted s/w if ur unfamiliar
[11:11] <genii> pradeep: Yes. I just told you that the reason to unplug and replug the usb pendrive is to determine then  which devicename it is receiving so that the correct device gets partitioned and then formatted
[11:11] <pradeep> ok
[11:12] <pradeep> i'll do that now
[11:12] <VelcroMan> Can i make apt-get to install "recommended packages" when i install a package?
[11:12] <lyte> FlyingWV, no synaptic, no x, and i'm actually interested in a slightly different question, it's all sorted.
[11:12] <vadviktor> hi guys! anyone could tell me, will the kde 4.1 be the first stable release in kubuntu?
[11:12] <FlyingWV> lyte: Aha, ok
[11:12] <pradeep> unplugged
[11:12] <Tita1> How do I open a Hard Drive using the terminal?
[11:12] <pradeep> n plugged again
[11:12] <genii> vadviktor: #kubuntu-kde4 please
[11:12] <vadviktor> genii: ty
[11:12] <xorand> I'm running ubuntu 7.10 and am trying to install gforge.  According to google, a lot of ppl are experiencing dependancy issues.  How do I install gforge?
[11:13] <Tita1> Get the new Ubuntu
[11:13] <genii> pradeep: OK. So now you need to know about pastebin website, so that you can post the result of command:  dmesg|tail                    to there
[11:13] <genii> !pastebin | pradeep
[11:13] <rossm> Hello. I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my EeePC. I've placed /usr onto an SDHC 16GB card. Everytime it boots I get an unclean shutdown check on the SDCard drive. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[11:13] <genii> pradeep: After this we will know the devicename which is correct to partition then format
[11:13] <Tita1> oh ffs, cna someone help me? Itl take like 10 seconds?
[11:14] <Tita1> *can
[11:14] <pradeep> now i'm unable to mount
[11:14] <scorpian> pradeep : you dont have to work tat hard to format your pen drive install gtparted
[11:14] <pradeep> wtf
[11:14] <pradeep> it says unable to mount partition
[11:14] <genii> pradeep: Hopefully you did not accidentally say "yes" to the command you tried earlier when it told you sdb1 was mounted
[11:15] <scorpian> pradeep: #mount use tat command to find if itz already mounted
[11:15] <genii> scorpian:
[11:16] <scorpian> genii:
[11:16] <pradeep> i'm using gparted
[11:16] <Tita1> Come on, a little help please! Are you guys avoiding me or something? I just have 1 quick question
[11:16] <Flannel> !ask | Tita1
[11:16] <rossm> anyone know why I'd get unclean shutdown on my SDHC card for Ubuntu on EeePC?
[11:16] <genii> scorpian: You're making it difficult to properly assist
[11:16] <pradeep> thanks you all
[11:16] <pradeep> it's done
[11:16] <pradeep> hahahah
[11:17] <pradeep> thanks genii
[11:17] <pradeep> thanks scorpian
[11:17] <Tita1> Okay my question
[11:17] <morodock> msg nickserv identify corbis89
[11:17]  * scorpian genii has to chill
[11:18] <sheep> morodock: you forgot the /
[11:18] <rossm> morodock better change your passwords quickly
[11:18] <rossm> *password
[11:18] <sheep> morodock: /msg nickserv set password new-password-here
[11:18] <Tita1> Haha
[11:18] <rossm> far out this unclean shutdown problem is annoying
[11:18] <Tita1> Be glad that Im nice
[11:19] <Tita1> I just got the NTFS downloaded, and set.Now when I try to view my NTFS drive, it says "Permission needed to access" or something similar, but the thing is, I have full rights to everything, Im root! Is there a way to open a drive through the terminal? Because then I could use the Sudo command and it should work.
[11:19] <morodock> thanks ;)
[11:19] <Tita1> * NTFS tool
[11:20] <genii> scorpian: I would not say that "[06:09] <scorpian> @pradeep type #sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1"    is prudent without first knowing for instance if sdb is in fact their external usb device they wish to actually format.
[11:20] <C_Jack> how help me?:]
[11:20] <AcBush> I need some serious help....I've had to uninstall ubuntu, but I cant get it to work. I have a 22inch TV with a VGA port plugged into my Nvidia Geforce 6150. windows works fine. but I cant install ubuntu or even run the live cd. I can , but after the ubuntu orange bar loads, it goes to No Signal on my TV. wtf? any suggestions
[11:20] <C_Jack> how helped me?:]]]
[11:21] <Tita1> There, I tried your way and nobody helped
[11:21] <AcBush> Correction - I cannot install ubuntu or even run the live CD
[11:21] <morodock> quick question: I'm trying to cat a bunch of files I have that are in sub-directories into 1 file. Essentially trying to do this: cat [find . *.txt] > text.csv --- but of course that doesn't work. Can anyone help me with the syntax for something like that? or is it not possible?
[11:22] <Tita1> Basicly, Is there a command to open a hard frive?
[11:22] <Tita1> *drive
[11:22] <scorpian> Tital: try to find owership $ls -l
[11:22] <scorpian> Tital:owenership*
[11:22] <Tita1> What?
[11:22] <sheep> *ownership
[11:23]  * scorpian lol
[11:23] <tparcina> how to list all user accounts on my computer?
[11:23] <Tita1> Im very new to linux, whats "$ls -l" mean?
[11:23]  * scorpian frozen fingers
[11:23] <giantmidget> morodock: cat `find . -name "*.txt"`
[11:23] <sheep> Tita1: it means "go to a terminal and run the command 'ls -l'"
[11:23] <rssy> tparcina: cat /etc/passwd
[11:24] <tparcina> rssy: thank you
[11:24] <morodock> giantmidget: thanks
[11:24] <Tita1> I ran it now what do I do?
[11:24] <scorpian> Tital: go online read the docs dude it jus lists all files with permissions
[11:24] <rssy> Tita: what you mean with open hardrive.
[11:24] <jianfei> tital: buy a book or read online
[11:25] <Tita1> What?
[11:25] <Tita1> I cant Open the drive
[11:25] <rssy> to see content of harddrive you must mount hd first.
[11:25] <Tita1> AkA access it
[11:25] <rossm> is there anyway of finding out what is causing an unclean shutdown to occur?
[11:25] <AcBush> Cannot get ubuntu to boot past the Orange Bar loading...It then goes to No Signal. I can't install Ubuntu, or even run the Live CD. Windows works fine with my GeForce 6150SE and 22Inch TV plugged into VGA as a monitor...Any ideas?
[11:25] <Tita1> It says Im not privilaged to mount
[11:25] <rssy> use sudo.
[11:26] <Tita1> Thats...
[11:26] <Tita1> How do I mount something throug terminal?
[11:26] <jianfei> sudo mount
[11:26] <scorpian> Acbush: try safe graphics mode or try alternate cd
[11:26] <genii> Tita1: Basic syntax: sudo mount -t fstype /dev/devname /mountplace
[11:27] <Tita1> Whats mountplace?
[11:27] <AcBush> scorpian: I'll go try safe graphics mode...what do you mean by ALternate CD though?
[11:27] <rssy> example "sudo mount media mount_point -t fs_type"
[11:27] <genii> Tita1: For foreign filesystem like ntfs you occasionally need -o switch with then options specific to that filesystem
[11:27] <rssy> example you want to mount you sda1 drive with ntfs filesyste,
[11:28] <FlyingWV> Would the command be something like mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt (mounting the drive at /mnt)
[11:28] <scorpian> AcBush: hey check ubuntu page.The Alternate CD also allows more advanced installation options ..
[11:28] <genii> FlyingWV: Generally, yes but with sudo. Also some options like users may be needed to allow regular users mount rights
[11:28] <FlyingWV> genii: Gotcha
[11:29] <rssy> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/win -t ntfs
[11:29] <Tita1> so "sudo mount -t NTFS /dev/sdb /"
[11:29] <jianfei> tital: ffs took me seconds to find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[11:29] <Tita1> But what do I put for mountplace
[11:29] <cmndkeen> its second release already and bugs same as in alpha or beta was, like keyboard layout switching not work, and firefox dissapear unexpectedly without even crash message. now tell me how reliable linux is... :/
[11:29] <rssy> FlyingWV: It's the same .
[11:29] <genii> Tita1: Do NOT mount things to /
[11:29] <rssy> just create new folder under /media drive.
[11:29] <genii> Tita1: I repeat: Do NOT mount things to /
[11:29] <giantmidget> Tita1: try reading man mount :P
[11:29] <rossm> is there anyway to hide usplash at start?
[11:30] <rossm> I need to see what is causing the unclean shutdown
[11:30] <dns53> giantmidget you could not resit could you
[11:30] <giantmidget> dns53: i'm sorry, but he/she sorta could have started there...
[11:30] <avis> rossm, i believe that would be 'nosplash' flag to a section of your menu.lst
[11:30] <rossm> thanks avis
[11:31] <cmndkeen> what i dont like most is that my bug reports are ignored systematically... how this is called? commons-based peer-production? :/
[11:31] <rossm> any idea why a SDHC card would not be being cleanly unmounted at shutdown on an EeePC?
[11:31] <jianfei> giantmidget: thats a halarious Nick mate!! no offence if you actually are a midget!
[11:31] <giantmidget> jianfei: hope you're no midget-hater :P
[11:31] <jianfei> lol
[11:32] <hana> #jammaah
[11:32] <Tita1> Well I read the Mount page, and I just dont get why as the palce I would pick "/mnt"
[11:33] <erUSUL> Tita1: for mountplace you can use any directory on the tree (preferible if its empty ;))
[11:33] <FlyingWV> Tita1: Also, do a sudo fdisk -l to determine which partition your NTFS is on
[11:33] <scorpian> Tital: you can pick anyplace thats linux jus tat all the rest of devices are mounted there
[11:34] <giantmidget> Tita1: /mnt is just where people usually mount stuff
[11:34] <erUSUL> Tita1: historical convenction was to use a dir under /mnt/ on ubuntu /media/ is used as well
[11:34] <Tita1> Well I think its   "   /dev/sdb5    "
[11:35] <giantmidget> Tita1: basically, you have a device (/dev/sdax) that you need to "link" to a directory (like /mnt/sdax)
[11:35] <chakir> hi all
[11:36] <Tita1> So If my HD that I wnt to mount is sdb5 then  "    sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt  "
[11:36] <Tita1> right?
[11:36] <FlyingWV> Tita1: under fdisk -l the ID should be 7, and list as HPFS/NTFS
[11:36] <Tita1> /dev/sdb5             930       10637    73392448+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[11:36] <rssy> sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt -t ntfs
[11:36] <chakir> I installed with synaptic took phpmyadmin suite, I tried to lok for it where my Apache's server html folder is (/var/www) but nothing was there. However I founf all the phpmyadmin tree under /user/share.. wtf¿? How can I access the too?
[11:36] <giantmidget> Tita1: you might want to do an ls /mnt first, to see if theres anything else there...
[11:36] <FlyingWV>  sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb5 /mnt
[11:37] <FlyingWV> Or what rssy said
[11:37] <Tita1> what "ls /mnt"
[11:37] <avis> Tita1, very often sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 /mnt will work too
[11:37] <Tita1> That isnt doing anything
[11:37] <FlyingWV> Tita1: Then there are no files there to list, mount away
[11:37] <Tita1> Well i know this is NTFS
[11:37] <giantmidget> Tita1: ah, nevermind :P
[11:38] <rssy> can you check the content /mnt drive ?
[11:38] <rssy> "ls /mnt"
[11:38] <genii> chakir: phpmyadmin uses an alias in the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default         which points to it's actual location
[11:38] <avis> Tita1, /mnt is a directory that would let you gain access to the mounted device.  after mounting /mnt becomes your mounted drive
[11:38] <kippi> hey
[11:39] <Tita1> Can I post a LOOONG ass error from the terminal when I tired to mount?
[11:39] <blueturtl> i've been redirected here from #ubuntustudio
[11:39] <kippi> with ubuntu us there away to create a ISO/CD-Rom that will allow me to install Ubuntu will set configuration and also run some scripts once the install is done
[11:39] <Tita1> I checked it with LS already
[11:40] <blueturtl> i have an issue with suspend that i was hoping someone might help me trouble shoot
[11:40] <Tita1> It didnt do anything
[11:40] <Tita1> So can I post the paragraph long error?
[11:40] <rssy> what kind of error did you got when you do mount command ?
[11:40] <FlyingWV> !pastebin
[11:40] <Tita1> Okay, here goes
[11:40] <Tita1> What?
[11:40] <FlyingWV> Tita1: You can use that to post a large text output
[11:41] <Tita1> How...
[11:41] <chakir> genii, an alias? I'm used to work with phpmyadmin under XP,but under linux it's new for me
[11:41] <Tita1> Sorry, little confuzed
[11:41] <jianfei> tital: really?
[11:41] <amarelle> onjour
[11:41] <Tita1> Uhh... Well I posted the crap on the site
[11:41] <FlyingWV> Tita1: Open the link to pastebin, paste the text into it, put your name in the poster, submit it and give us the url
[11:42] <Tita1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25894/
[11:42] <Tita1> Btw, I dont have windows
[11:43] <genii> chakir: Basically it means that to a web browser it appears like it's in that tree  eg: http://url.tld/phpmyadmin             but if you navigate to the physical folder of /var/www  you se nothing there resembling that
[11:43] <Toznoshio> I want to be able to use a WinFast PxPVR2200 TV tuner card in Hardy ( http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=351 ) ... I found this HCL here, but my card is not on this list. Am I looking in the right place? ( HCL at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=file;file=linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner;filenode=-1;style=raw )
[11:43] <chakir> genii, ok, thank you
[11:43] <genii> chakir: np
[11:44] <Tita1> So did anyone read my error message/
[11:44] <jianfei> tital: the answer is right there man
[11:44] <Tita1> Is it safe?
[11:44] <jianfei> tital: do it man
[11:45] <SealedWithAKiss> Are there any knowledgeable  PSP modders in here?
[11:45] <jianfei> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /mnt -o force
[11:45] <rssy> tita1: sorry still can't open the web...the internet connection at my place very2  slow now..
[11:45] <Tita1> Im a DS modder
[11:45] <leikao> And you could try: ntfs-3g
[11:45] <Tita1> actualy I have to do   " sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /mnt -o force  "
[11:45] <jianfei> yes
[11:45] <SealedWithAKiss> Nah i'm after a PSP modder.
[11:45] <Tita1> I need the power of the sudo
[11:45] <Tita1> =)
[11:46] <Tita1> I got a "WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile."
[11:46] <Tita1> How do I do that?
[11:46] <jianfei> so?
[11:47] <jianfei> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /mnt -o force
[11:47] <xorand> I'm having trouble connecting to M$ exchange server 2003 via evolution 2.22.2.  I've googled the problem and this guy (http://www.brad-x.com/2006/11/07/evolution-28-is-working-with-exchange-server/) considers a solution to downgrade to evolution 2.2.  How do I downgrade my evolution 2.22.2 (Ubuntu 8.04) to evolution 2.2?
[11:47] <Musli> is it possible to share a disk that format is NTFS?
[11:47] <Tita1> And how do I access my /mnt now that its mounted?
[11:48] <Tita1> lolz
[11:48] <rssy> cd /mnt
[11:48] <Tita1> nvm
[11:48] <Tita1> Thanks guys!
[11:48] <FlyingWV> Tita1: what does ls /mnt show now?
[11:48] <Tita1> It works now!
[11:48] <Tita1> WHOOOOOHOOOO
[11:48] <Tita1> It shows all my crap
[11:48] <FlyingWV> There you go then, grats
[11:48] <Tita1> All 80 GB's of my crap
[11:48] <SealedWithAKiss> I know the feeling.
[11:48] <avis> Musli, i believe you'd use samba for sharing over the network.  if you can mount the partition, you can share it
[11:48] <jianfei> tital: and i almost punched a hole in my desk!
[11:48] <jianfei> lol
[11:48] <Tita1> lol
[11:48] <kippi> with ubuntu us there away to create a ISO/CD-Rom that will allow me to install Ubuntu will set configuration and also run some scripts once the install is done
[11:49] <neopsyche> hi all. after attempting to install ubuntu 8.04 on windows box it seems the dualboot option has destroyed my startup system, i cannot access windows or my files. any advice? (it says "A disk read error occurred")
[11:49] <Tita1> Everyone one spells my name wrong its "Titan" not "Tital" or "Tita1"
[11:49] <Tita1> lol
[11:49] <Musli> I get an error message like this when i try to share the ntfs disk folder 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/disk-1/Villes TV Serier as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own.
[11:49] <Musli> 	Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False"
[11:49] <Musli> 	to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.
[11:49] <ikonia> Tita1: your nick is "Tita1" - thats why people are addressing you as Tita1
[11:50] <neopsyche> Tita1: yup.
[11:50] <neeto> ahoy. when I try to change my wireless devices settings using iwconfig, the settings never get applied to the device. There's no error, it just stays as if I had just plugged it in. My network devices are using ndisdrivers, and the ndiswrapper module is installed and running. Any suggestions?
[11:50] <neopsyche> hi all. after attempting to install ubuntu 8.04 on windows box it seems the dualboot option has destroyed my startup system, i cannot access windows or my files. any advice? (it says "A disk read error occurred")
[11:51] <avis> neopsyche, i have heard of a super grub disk (iso) has a function that will restore the mbr, there is #windows for windows support this is for ubuntu related support
[11:51] <Musli> did u install grub loader?
[11:51] <neopsyche> right
[11:51] <ikonia> avis: you don't need "super grub disk"
[11:51] <ikonia> avis: the ubuntu install/live cd will allow you to re-install grub on to the mbr
[11:52] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: Does sudo fdisk -l show a windows partition?
[11:52] <ikonia> FlyingWV: it will show all partitions on your disk
[11:52] <avis> wouldn't you have had to have backed up the former mbr?  i believe he doesn't want grub ?
[11:52] <CorpseFeeder> I don't really fully understand all the ins and outs of how the various music creating programs and stuff work yet... But I have a USB midi keyboard (Behringer), and I want to know - is there any software for Ubuntu Studio which will just allow me to plug the keyboard in and play it and have sound come out the speakers? I basically just want to be able to play it there on the spot for fun without having to record anyt
[11:52] <CorpseFeeder> hing or go through all the technical stuff. Does such a program exist?
[11:52] <FlyingWV> ikonia: I'm curioius if he accidently overwrote his windows partition when he installed
[11:53] <ikonia> FlyingWV: I've just re-read what you typed, and I missunderstood what you where actually saying.
[11:53] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: i inserted 8.04 booted to live cd mode. chose install inside windows option. rebooted. got error A disk read error has occurred press ctrl alt del to reboot
[11:53] <ikonia> FlyingWV: apologies
[11:53] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: ???
[11:53] <blueturtl> suspend guru's ahoy, my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25896/
[11:53] <FlyingWV> ikonia: quite alright
[11:54] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: Can you open up a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l
[11:54] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: inside windows repair console it states: directory of C:\ An error occurred during directory enumeration
[11:54] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: i cannot since it will not boot
[11:55] <jarco> problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this?
[11:55] <xorand> how do I downgrade my Evloution package in ubuntu 8.04
[11:55] <FlyingWV> Is possible to use fdisk from a live cd? haven't tried
[11:55] <ikonia> FlyingWV: sure is
[11:56] <genii> FlyingWV: Yes, certainly
[11:56] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: So you should be able to load up the live cd, and go to the terminal, and try fdisk -l
[11:56] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: ok
[11:56] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: well sudo fdisk -l
[11:56] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: thats what i was trying to do with the Windows CD
[11:56] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: what will that do? list my files?
[11:57] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: It will list your hard drive partitions
[11:57] <jarco> problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this?
[11:57] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: its rather disconcerting for new windows users who are interested in trying ubuntu for the first time to be greeted with 'A disk read error has occurred' and the only thing they can do is reboot. this gives ubuntu a VERY bad name amongst the average users who are not tech savvy.
[11:58] <franku> added a nic to my ubuntu-804 vm and -- I now have eth1 & eth2 -- wanted eth0  & eth1 -- what's up?
[11:58] <avis> neopsyche, it helps to understand what your doing, before you actually try.
[11:59] <jarco> problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this?
[11:59] <neopsyche> avis: it helps. but for the average user on windows if they click on 'automatically install ubuntu to run alongside windows' then when they click it they expect it to  'automatically install ubuntu to run alongside windows'
[11:59] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: Did you use wubi? I've no experience with that myself
[11:59] <neopsyche> avis: many users trying the live CD and killing their pc bootup cant be good for UBUNTU
[12:00] <ikonia> neopsyche: ubuntu doesn't kill peoples's PC's, user error/not reading the information on screen does that
[12:00] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: i assume so, since i used the default installation option in the live cd for installing alongside windows, so if wubi is what that is then i suppose i did use it.. if it is not what it is then no.
[12:00] <rssy> most of the time the problem is between keyboard and chair ..
[12:00] <ikonia> neopsyche: the default option in the livecd is not install along side windows
[12:01] <ikonia> neopsyche: the default installation option is to use entire disk
[12:01] <ikonia> neopsyche: that would wipe windows
[12:01] <neopsyche> rssy: which is why windows is the leader in easy to use operating systems worldwide ;-)
[12:01] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: Which comes back to my fdisk querry, I'm afraid you may have erased your windows installation
[12:01] <avis> neopsyche, your opinion is not shared by many people and that is offtopic this is for ubuntu support
[12:02] <genii> franku: Mostly this happens when you have previously had some adapter then removed it. There is still a record which says make mac address of that adapter always be eth0 even if no longer exists. This is in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules so if you edit that file with admin rights and remove or comment out the eth0 line that assignment will be available again. You can then change where it has eth1 and eth2 to be the proper
[12:02] <rssy> sorry neopsyche like avis say this is not the place where you debate which OS is the best ... ;)
[12:02] <genii> entries. Since in udev system you need a restart of the udev syste or else a complete reboot for this to have effect.
[12:02] <neopsyche> FlyingWV: if it gives the option to "install alongside" windows, why would it delete it.. and why would that be "my" fault.. if "i" selected the option to install "alongside" why would it "completely erase" instead of doing what it was supposed to in regard to installing "alongside" windows and if it has .then whose "fault" is that .. the programmer or the user?
[12:03] <ikonia> neopsyche: it doesnt give you that option
[12:03] <FlyingWV> neopsyche: I never alluded to blame, just my suspicion about what happened
[12:03] <ikonia> neopsyche: if you boot off the install CD the default option is to use the entire disk
[12:03] <jarco> problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this?
[12:04] <neopsyche> The assumption by the majority of the Linux community that users should know what they are doing is a major hinderance to adoption of operating systems such as Ubuntu by average users of Windows, I do hope canonical attempts to simplify the operating system in a flavour for average users in the future.
[12:04] <J1> hey there, anyone has experience with NX servers? i cant get sound to work, i can only hear the login sound nothing else. Also, if someone is using firefox at the main box, i cant use it on the remote connection
[12:04] <ikonia> neopsyche: this is nothing to do with ubuntu
[12:04] <ikonia> neopsyche: the assumption is that the user can read the text on screen in their native language
[12:04] <ikonia> neopsyche: nothing more - we can help you debug your issue, but ranting about ubuntu is not going to happen in this channel, that is not what this channel is here for
[12:05] <synque> neopsyche: the potential to break other operating systems is the same while installing windows, or any other operating system
[12:05] <RonLut> I installed samba but when I try to 'gksudo nautilus' it says: Initializing nautilus-share extension and doing nothing.... What should I do?
[12:05] <neopsyche> ikonia: there is an option to INSTALL ALONGSIDE WINDOWS A U T O M A T I C A L L Y .. A L O N G - S I D E .. AS IN .. W I T H WINDOWS .. D   U   A   L          B        OOOO    OOO T. ;-)
[12:05] <rssy> neopsyche:  didi you ever try to install windows alongside other OS ?
[12:05] <FlyingWV> Heh
[12:07] <[\dan\]> dual booting ubuntu is pretty easy. i like the work that Linux Mint has done to make migration as easy as possible, it recognises windows partitiond and offers to import user names/passwords/settings/documents etc
[12:07] <J1> anyone also had the problem that on a remote accesss firefox wont start if it is already being used by someone at the server box?
[12:07] <jarco> problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this?

[12:07] <CorpseFeeder> hing or go through all the technical stuff. Does such a program exist?
[12:07] <ikonia> [\dan\]: how is that anything to do with ubuntu ?
[12:07] <RonLut> ?
[12:08] <ScaryLptp> I like how xchat cuts off the last letter or half letter in a line. quality programming at its finest.
[12:08] <ScaryLptp> it cut off finest in that line.
[12:08] <ScaryLptp> and e in that line :P
[12:08] <ikonia> ScaryLptp: why are you telling the channel this ?
[12:08] <neopsyche> hmm.. ikonia. obvously you dont like what i said
[12:09] <avis> ScaryLptp, your problem is likely not an xchat problem if you want xchat support there is #xchat
[12:09] <giantmidget> ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits
[12:09] <ikonia> neopsyche: no, I didn't like the you flooded the channel, kept going off topic and used caps
[12:09] <ScaryLptp> because every time I try linux I'm hugely dissapointed in nearly every aspect :P
[12:09] <giantmidget> darn
[12:09] <J1> dont mind ikonia, im boored and u just entertained me
[12:09] <neopsyche> but it proves a point. most linux people expect users to know what they are doing ;-)
[12:09] <[\dan\]> ikonia: mint is a derivative of ubuntu, all im saying is that the work they've done takes any effort out of it and i would love to see it in the upstream installer, thats all. i dont use mint at the moment
[12:09] <neopsyche> ikonia: windows simply assumes people dont know what they are doing
[12:09] <ikonia> neopsyche: why are you still going on about this, you have been asked to stop
[12:09] <neopsyche> ikonia: linux is extermely unfriendly to the average computer user
[12:09] <neopsyche> stop what . talking?
[12:10] <[\dan\]> neopsyche: no it isnt
[12:10] <apinunt> Each time I plug in a memory stick, lsusb shows the Device number incremented by 1. Is this proper?
[12:10] <J1> neopsyche thats couse ppl who did windows also dont know what they where doing...
[12:10] <RonLut> can some 1 help me? please........
[12:10] <XGas> apinunt: See your /media
[12:10] <J1> ronlut - ask a question. dont ask if u can ask a question lol
[12:10] <FlyingWV> !ask | RonLut
[12:10] <RonLut> J1: asked already...
[12:10] <XGas> apinunt: /media might have not removed some folders
