[11:59] <deusprogrammer> lol
[11:59] <zcat[1]> sorry, not more than windows.. ten times the cost of windows
[11:59] <deusprogrammer> Compared to the game I'm going to make it is.
[11:59] <donkeyboy> anyone have any recent experience with ubuntu on a HP Compaq nc8430
[11:59] <_Zombie_> deusprogrammer - i had more frames in linux, because i had more ram
[11:59] <GeorgeMiller> Hello
[11:59] <deusprogrammer> I will have to give it a shot.
[11:59] <donkeyboy> last time I installed it it was ok, but not wonderful, wondering if 7.10 and soon 8.04 would be a better experience?
[12:00] <GeorgeMiller> I want to change some of my network settings but it hasnt asked me for a password yet so what password do I use when Iwant to change administrative settings please?
[12:00] <zcat[1]> I think 8.04 is going to be awesome.. the beta is so cool
[12:00] <ariqs> WoW is the worst mmorpg I ever played
[12:00] <ariqs> what's so cool about the beta?
[12:00] <deusprogrammer> Is there a way to give my main login root privileges without using sudo?
[12:00] <zcat[1]> everything..
[12:00] <XB23> George Miller isnt that the name of the sergant from heartbeat
[12:00] <deusprogrammer> The worst MMORPG I ever played was RFO.
[12:01] <ariqs> what is RFO?
[12:01] <deusprogrammer> My favorite MMO of all time though is PSO.
[12:01] <zcat[1]> deusprogrammer: yes. but I'm not in the habit of telling people how to make their system less secure
[12:01] <ariqs> don't know what either is an acronym for
[12:01] <deusprogrammer> RFO was Rising Force Online.  It was god awful.
[12:01] <shinoj> anybody used ubundu in toshiba l30 laptop. to me, it does not give any sound
[12:01] <ariqs> haven't herad of it
[12:01] <deusprogrammer> I was just curious.  I wasn't planning on actually doing it.
[12:01] <shinoj> can anyone help me?
[12:01] <_Zombie_> my best experience in an mmorpg was "ultima online" not because it was "the best" mmorpg, but because it was the first i played
[12:01] <deusprogrammer> Of course not, it's just that bad.
[12:02] <_Zombie_> its like the first sex you have is the best
[12:02] <deusprogrammer> I just have fond memories of Phantasy Star Online.
[12:02] <ariqs> first sex is often times really friggin bad ;P
[12:02] <zcat[1]> deusprogrammer: the easiest way is to put your user in a certain group.. that will cause sudo to not require a password, so you're still running as a normal user, you just never need to enter a password.
[12:02] <jussio1> !o4o | _Zombie_
[12:02] <ubotu> _Zombie_: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu.

[12:02] <ariqs> my first mmorpg was the realm, and Id idn't care for it. My fav was everquest
[12:02] <ariqs> I just hate sony so I refuse to play ;)
[12:03] <deusprogrammer> Well I did that for my /var/www/
[12:03] <deusprogrammer> I just changed the group for it to webadmins
[12:03] <deusprogrammer> And then added myself to that group.
[12:03] <deusprogrammer> Is that a secure way to do it?
[12:04] <deusprogrammer> PS3 has no games...unless you count Talladegha Nights.
[12:04] <munichlinux> i upgraded to gutsy from feisty, GNOME load is very slow is thee any fix ?
[12:04] <zcat[1]> deusprogrammer: that's the proper way, so you can write to /var/www without needing and special permissions
[12:05] <zcat[1]> deusprogrammer: the best policy is to use the least amount of permission that still lets you get the job done..
[12:05] <deusprogrammer> Thank you zcat ^^.
[12:06] <deusprogrammer> You guys have helped me very much.
[12:06] <deusprogrammer> I hope I can return the favor one day by helping others.
[12:06] <un0p> deusprogrammer, you aren't respecting privilege separation if you require your user to have root's privileges all the time - doing that isn't recommended (as you might as well run windows if you do :) )
[12:06] <deusprogrammer> And users can belong to multiple groups right?
[12:07] <Bacta> How can I find out the IP address of the wireless access point I'm connected to?
[12:07] <zcat[1]> deusprogrammer: yes.. never be afraid to add another group for more fine-grained permissions :)
[12:07] <deusprogrammer> WOW!  This thing can actually read my iPod?
[12:07] <deusprogrammer> lol
[12:07] <un0p> deusprogrammer, sure, most desktop users belong to many groups - see 'id' and 'groups'
[12:07] <rizo> hi
[12:07] <deusprogrammer> Bacta: Go into a terminal and type "ip addr"
[12:08] <rizo> is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu dapper drake to Gutsy Gibbon
[12:08] <deusprogrammer> The ip of the wireless access point is the gate way ip
[12:08] <un0p> Bacta, examine the output of 'route -n' .. the ip address of the gateway of the <IP_ADDRESS> route should be the AP's address
[12:08] <deusprogrammer> Oops.  Was I wrong ;_;
[12:08] <shivamib> behold!
[12:09] <zcat[1]> Bacta: ifconfig will tell you your current IP, route will tell you the gateway .. 'whatismyip.com' will tell you the real-world IP address if you're behind NAT
[12:09] <jussio1> rizo: yes, but requires a lot of work. you should wait a few weeks for 8.04 to come out, it has a straight uprade path
[12:09] <midas06> sup
[12:09] <niloy> deusprogrammer, how can i increse my laptop screen resolution in ubuntu
[12:09] <void^> Bacta: an access point is like a ethernet switch, unless it's a router or dhcp/dns server you don't get to see its ip anywhere
[12:09] <shivamib> !fixres
[12:09] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:09] <rizo> when is 8.04 coming out?
[12:09] <midas06> if i just installed the beta how do i boot from windows?
[12:09] <jussio1> rizo: 24th
[12:09] <un0p> please move the hardy discussion to #ubuntu+1
[12:09] <Bacta> what if the access point goes through a router?
[12:09] <void^> Bacta: broadcast pings reveal it sometimes though.
[12:10] <rizo> cool
[12:10] <midas06> if i just installed the beta how do i boot from windows?
[12:10] <deusprogrammer> So much for sleeping tonight XD
[12:10] <zcat[1]> void^: you know of any AP's that aren't also the router and DHCP server?
[12:10] <niloy> ubotu, I have run the command , but it was stucked at a line in ablack screen
[12:10] <jussio1> rizo: for further questions, please ask in #ubuntu+1 :)
[12:10] <rizo> then i'll wait and upgrade then, Thanks guys
[12:10] <void^> zcat[1]: yes. i use one.
[12:10] <un0p> Bacta, if the access point is not a router, it doesnt have an IP address
[12:10] <Bacta> well what am I connecting to?
[12:10] <un0p> Bacta, to an access point
[12:10] <un0p> :)
[12:11] <Bacta> how can I get at it's settings?
[12:11] <un0p> Bacta, i already told you
[12:11] <niloy> how can i increase my laptop's screen resolution..
[12:11] <niloy> ?
[12:11] <zcat[1]> void^: OK.. well, that's not the usual config in my experience.. most APs I run into are combo AP+DHCP+ADSL+whetever else
[12:11] <un0p> !fixres > niloy (see private message from ubotu)
[12:12] <zcat[1]> the very lest I've seen was AP + DHCP
[12:12] <void^> zcat[1]: those can still be configured to run as AP only - useful if you use a linux based server as router and dhcp server
[12:12] <zcat[1]> void^: yeah, true
[12:12] <mino> hi :) my ubuntu installer wont start :( i click on the desktop link but it just loads and then nothing comes up
[12:12] <NairaLanders> humans or bot
[12:13] <NairaLanders> humans or bots
[12:13] <mino> i check the md5sum of the the cd but its correct
[12:13] <mino> every other tool of the livecd works but not the installer
[12:13] <icesword> mino, you need to be root to install
[12:14] <mino> I'm root
[12:14] <zcat[1]> wtf? live CD you click on the installer, live CD user has no pw so sudo runs it as root without asking for pw
[12:15] <zcat[1]> sorry.. is there some other livecd other than the ones I've been using the last three years?
[12:15] <shivamib> :)
[12:15] <mino> i check it by cmd and by desktop twice as root or sudoer
[12:15] <mino> but it just loads and stops working
[12:16] <mino> on the cmd no output i given, it just terminates
[12:16] <DarkMooR> .......HOla...............
[12:16] <jtravnick> mino you are boot to the cd right?
[12:16] <zcat[1]> mino: got enough ram?
[12:16] <mino> 2 GB zcat[1]
[12:16] <zcat[1]> ahh.. that should be enough :)
[12:16] <mino> jtravnick: yes i boot the live cd
[12:17] <mino> everything is okay, i can start firefox, configure the network and so on
[12:17] <mino> but the installer just fails :)
[12:17] <deusprogrammer> Oops.
[12:17] <deusprogrammer> Well wine definately works well.
[12:17] <deusprogrammer> It just ran a really obscure shooter title.
[12:17] <zcat[1]> deusprogrammer: what, you got it to run a windows virus?
[12:17] <jtravnick> i forget is there a way to check the cd when you boot?
[12:18] <deusprogrammer> But it also wouldn't let me control it for some reason.
[12:18] <deusprogrammer> And I had to logout to kill it.
[12:18] <un0p> jtravnick, hmm, don't think ubuntu has that
[12:18] <icesword> zcat[1], is a command like maybe draklive-install?
[12:18] <mino> strace of the installer gives many "No such file or directory errors" but i think a python error if the installer should give some output to stderr or I'm wrong?
[12:18] <deusprogrammer> Unless there is another key combo to kill it.
[12:18] <jtravnick> un0p, k couldnt remember if it did or not
[12:18] <deusprogrammer> I will have to try installing WOW.  That would be fun.
[12:19] <un0p> jtravnick, how you could check the CD is make an ISO from the CD's contents and compare the checksum of it against the original ISO
[12:19] <zcat[1]> deusprogrammer: alt-F2, xkill, click the window you want killed .. usually works.
[12:19] <iliya_> hi, I acidently deleted content of folders /etc/network and etc/networkmanager how to reinstall, as kubuntu now does not detect wireless card
[12:19] <shivamib> ouch!
[12:19] <_Zombie_> deusprogrammer - long ago when i was playing around with wow in windows, i got it to work correctly only with cedega - wine had some minor problems. but thats long ago, maybe they are fixed now
[12:19] <_Zombie_> wow in linux
[12:20]  * deusprogrammer rolls a 1 on Linux knowledge
[12:20] <jtravnick> un0p, mine worked was trying to figure out what was up with nimos
[12:20] <lucky711xx> I having a bit of trouble with open office...It starts up EXTREMELY slow hogs up the cpu, Im running gutsy fully updated here is a copy of strace ooffice http://paste.ubuntu.com/6661/ can someone help me out??
[12:20] <deusprogrammer> Anyone here an Anime Fan?
[12:20] <zcat[1]> _Zombie_: I got it running in wine, don't recall needing to do anything unusual.. it was originally installed in windows though, I haven't 'installed' it in wine
[12:21] <_Zombie_> i also remember that its better to install it on a linux partition
[12:21] <_Zombie_> but that was long ago also
[12:21] <deusprogrammer> I have an awesome Ubuntu background for anyone like likes anime.
[12:21] <un0p> iliya_, perhaps this works.. sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager knetworkmanager
[12:22] <christophe__> salut
[12:22] <un0p> salut
[12:22] <deusprogrammer> Tre bien un haiduke.
[12:22] <christophe__> qui peut m'aider avec apache ?
[12:22] <shivamib> good thing you still had the network to do it :)
[12:22] <zcat[1]> .. the reason we tell people not to run as root, and only use it cautiously .. :)
[12:22] <deusprogrammer> Sorry lol
[12:22] <christophe__> #ubuntu-fr
[12:22] <un0p> christophe__, allez a #ubuntu-fr

[12:26] <deusprogrammer> Ich bin ein Amerikaner btw.
[12:26] <zcat[1]> iliya_: something that _might_ work .. boot the live CD, mount the filesystem as /target, and copy the liveCD version of those files over, edit as appropriate for your network
[12:26] <deusprogrammer> Aber ich habe deuscht im Gymnasium fur dreie Jahre gelernt.
[12:27] <geirha> deusprogrammer: then I think you should stick to english

[12:27] <deusprogrammer> Das tut mir leid ;_;
[12:27] <un0p> deusprogrammer, no german in here please
[12:28] <deusprogrammer> Sorry, I didn't realize that was a problem.
[12:28] <Pici> deusprogrammer: /j #ubuntu-de
[12:28] <zcat[1]> iliya_: what un0p says.. it might work if the packages are still in cache and don't need to be downloaded
[12:28] <deusprogrammer> Sorry I just don't get to use my German very often.
[12:29] <un0p> deusprogrammer, you'll have a field day in the german channel :)
[12:29] <iliya_> zcat[1]: tried to run live cd 7.04 but now it KDE hangs when it show up and runung !? Previosli I instaled from the same wersin
[12:29] <zcat[1]> iliya_: hmmm.. try the CD self-test. Might have been scratched?

[12:32] <iliya_> no scrach, cd check pass,  live KDE hangs, instaled KDE normaly works !? I tried to reinstall linux but now it is imposibile :-(
[12:32] <deusprogrammer> I think I'm going to go claim my 3 hours of sleep now guys.  Thanks for all the help.
[12:32] <zcat[1]> iliya_: well, that're really bizzare...
[12:32] <zcat[1]> *that's
[12:32] <iliya_> zcat[1]: tried to run live cd 7.04 but now it KDE hangs when it show up and runung !? Previosli I instaled from the same wersin
[12:33] <iliya_> zcat[1]: yep bizare
[12:33] <iliya_> two days trying to solve
[12:35] <Jaymac> Was just walking home from the bakery, and passed a small PC shop.  They had a big sign in the window saying, "We sell AND service Linux PCs!"  And there was a big Ubuntu logo beneath it :)
[12:35] <zcat[1]> iliya_: well, I'm out of ideas.. I only do tech support, I don't do excorcisims ..
[12:35] <iliya_> :-)
[12:36] <shivamib> LOL
[12:36] <iliya_> I will try to reinstall the packages (in case they were ever installed): bridge-utils, wpasupplicant, netbase, ifupdown, initscripts, openssh-server, wireless-tools, ntpdate, avahi-daemon
[12:36] <zcat[1]> Jaymac: I wonder how many they actually sell though :)
[12:36] <iliya_> zcat[1]:reinstall the packages (in case they were ever installed): bridge-utils, wpasupplicant, netbase, ifupdown, initscripts, openssh-server, wireless-tools, ntpdate, avahi-daemon??
[12:37] <Jaymac> zcat[1]: Well I saw 6 on display... doubt they'd give so much space to them if they didn't shift any
[12:37] <zcat[1]> iliya_: if you can boot the system, and if they're still in apt cache, yes.. that might work.
[12:39] <iliya_> zcat[1]:thanks of to rebut now, and hope to be here from linux soon ;-)
[12:39] <iliya_> reboot
[12:39] <zcat[1]> Jaymac: cool.. whenever I sell or give away Ubuntu pc's I usually get a call a few days later asking how to remove ubuntu and install Windows.. it really annoys me
[12:39] <shivamib> iliya_: godspeed!
[12:40] <Jaymac> zcat[1]: yeah that sucks... I've managed to move a couple of friends and parents onto Ubuntu.. I now have *fewer* calls asking for help :)
[12:40] <zcat[1]> well, perhaps not 'usually' but too often!
[12:40] <Dr_willis> zcat[1],  i wonder how many vista machines are now running pirated XP. :)
[12:40] <zcat[1]> Dr_willis: more than MSFT care to admit to..
[12:40] <niloy> I can't hear any sound from my laptop
[12:41] <Amy_D_Vamp> i am trying to watch a dvd on my laptop and keep getting an error message stating that I do not have the proper plugins installed to operate totem.  Any advice?
[12:41] <niloy> but th kmix or alsamixer is runing properly
[12:42] <zcat[1]> lately I have had better luck, a few people who I'd assumed must have switched back to doze 'cos they haven't called me in months.. turns out they didn't call because everything works and they just didn't need any help :)

[12:49] <katad0t1s> Hi all. In windows I use copy /B text.txt+pic.jpg output.jpg to hide text in images. What about linux?
[12:50] <PwrSurge> damm linux, why don't they fix RST packets returned
[12:50] <zcat[1]> katad0t1s: cat text.txt pic.jpg > output.jpg
[12:50] <PwrSurge> jeez, can anyone work?
[12:50] <LazyAngel> PwrSurge: what do you mean?
[12:51] <katad0t1s> zcat thanks will try right away
[12:51] <PwrSurge> my ssh session to a freebsd host keeps timing out
[12:51] <Scunizi> zcat[1], how do you exract the text later.. or is it visable in the jpg?
[12:52] <zcat[1]> Scunizi: dunno.. how do you do it in windows?
[12:52] <PwrSurge> http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/dev/42612
[12:52] <Scunizi> zcat[1], no idea
[12:52] <katad0t1s> Scunizi depends how u open the file
[12:52] <katad0t1s> Scunizi gimp will show an image, gedit will show text
[12:52] <cosmodad> heya! Anyone know if there's a way to redo the process that is taking place when I plug in a USB stick by software only?
[12:52] <cosmodad> e.g., repeating udev rules or whatever to have a mount point be set up and such.

[12:53] <lucky711xx> PwrSurge, all the time
[12:53] <PwrSurge> yes
[12:53] <Scunizi> zcat[1], cool thanks.. didn't know how to do that.. but needed it.
[12:53] <PwrSurge> even while typing
[12:53] <lucky711xx> PwrSurge, yup
[12:53] <zcat[1]> there's also steghide which will encrypt it first
[12:53] <alexnicol> having issues creating new users
[12:54] <zcat[1]> and several other tools :)
[12:54] <LazyAngel> PwrSurge: i have used it alot of times
[12:54] <alexnicol> I can create a new user, but they cant log into FTP and other such tools
[12:54] <shivamib> !pattern recognition
[12:54] <PwrSurge> my windows laptop has no issues with ssh to that server
[12:54] <LazyAngel> PwrSurge: how long does it live before timing out?
[12:54] <PwrSurge> about 5 minutes or less
[12:54] <zcat[1]> alexnicol: use the GUI user tool, it will add them to the appropriate groups too...
[12:55] <LazyAngel> PwrSurge: have you checked the settings on dd-wrt. you can set the udp and tcp timout there
[12:55] <PwrSurge> there must be something in the TCP/IP stack I need to tune
[12:55] <LazyAngel> PwrSurge: its much larger than 5 minutes by default. if you haven't changed it?

[12:57] <alexnicol> I have set the groups to be the same for my original user account that works
[12:57] <LazyAngel> PwrSurge: strange. Have you tried to do a packet dump on the interface?

[13:46] <Amy_D_Vamp> I am still playing around with the medibuntu repositories and leaving "sudo" out of the command line is still not working, it keeps saying something about line 33 and that the source lists cannot be unlocked.  Any advice before I get overly frustrated and throw my hands in the air?
[13:46] <arvind_> hikejinx, do such program exist here in ubuntu??i never knew
[13:46] <geronimaldo> jrib: one more thing. from a user perspective. does virtual box run seamlessly, compared to say running aps through crossover/ wine?
[13:46] <binB4SH> Ok another question: When I leftclick on nm-applet I click VPN
[13:46] <hikejinx> arvind_, it's in medibuntus repo
[13:46] <shivamib> you have it open
[13:46] <binB4SH> but there is nothing appearing
[13:46] <shadfc> i just got a new wireless kb/mouse and ive everything is working except the tilt buttons on the wheel on my mouse.  xev doesnt register anything when i hit those buttons. the mouse is a M$ WIreless Optical Mouse 2.0.   Any ideas on what to try next?
[13:47] <arvind_> hikejinx, ask him to google,this is a family room
[13:47] <binB4SH> what is wrong?
[13:47] <shivamib> or synaptic
[13:47] <chimp> ok i used aptitude purge samba, to get rid of it, but when i install it again, the config file of /etc/samba/smb.conf is still there, i thought purge would remove the altered config file?
[13:47] <hikejinx> lol, true enough
[13:47] <DJones> Amy_D_Vamp: Have you got synaptic open at the same time you're trying to amend the sources.list?
[13:47] <Scunizi> Amy_D_Vamp, how are you trying to edit it... with what program?
[13:47] <pale-yafa> hi, I am new to crontabs, and I want to add cron to run a php script every 12 hours, reading about it I should folder /etc/crontab and its not there, what is it that iam missing

[13:48] <binB4SH> but I can't add VPN Connection because nothing appears when clicking on vpn menü in nm-applet
[13:48] <jrib> geronimaldo: it gives you windows in a window.  There are ways to make the apps run seamlessly on your desktop, but I'm not familiar with doing that.  It won't happen by default though.  There is a page on the wiki about it though.  Search for "seamrless virtualization" maybe
[13:48] <Amy_D_Vamp> i am copying and pasting the text
[13:48] <Pici> pale-yafa: use crontab -e or sudo crontab -e depending on who you want to run the program as.
[13:48] <compwiz18_> pale-yafa: you can use crontab -e
[13:48] <Scunizi> Amy_D_Vamp, but how did you open sources.list .. with what.. what was the exact line
[13:48] <shadfc> pale-yafa: crontab -e   to edit your own crontab   0 0,12 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script       would run it at midnight and noon

[13:50] <arvind_> !medibuntu
[13:50] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[13:50] <hikejinx> antek, it seems like me, you need xgl and the restricted driver. so first, you need to disable it  again.
[13:51] <geronimaldo> jrib: alright, thanks agin
[13:51] <shivamib> LMAO
[13:51] <antek> hikejinx: Disable what ? (and how ?)
[13:51] <hikejinx> antek, sorry, restricted driver
[13:51] <pale-yafa> by the way, when I was using kubuntu I could browsing the computer as root using kdesu connqueror, how to do that in ubuntu?
[13:52] <martiini> Hobbsee:  so there is no topic .. its a channel where people can ask questions about ubuntu and ask for help and also provide help, and thats why Im here

[13:52] <antek> So i think i'm not using the restricted driver
[13:52] <martiini> Hobbsee:  where did you get the impression that I havent been doing that
[13:53] <Adantan_Alex> loyal_for: are you planning to dual boot windows and ubuntu?
[13:53] <hikejinx> oh boy... if you have envy installed, i'm uncertain as to whether  this will work or not, but I can assure you it WILL work, but you might be better off with a clean install.
[13:53] <LoYaL_FoR_LonLYn> actually yes..
[13:53] <Hobbsee> @btlogin
[13:53] <LoYaL_FoR_LonLYn> but i dunno.. i'm advanced user of windows.. but linux.. geez..
[13:54] <Adantan_Alex> loyal: are you using the live CD?
[13:54] <antek> hikejinx: it's the 3rd time i reinstall ubuntu... It's take a long time
[13:54] <antek> And i've don't have much time
[13:54] <Amy_D_Vamp> that's it, nothing is working and i am beyond frustrated.  i think i'll just try to get someone to do this for me since i can't figure it out.  thank you all for trying to help me.
[13:54] <martiini> Amy_D_Vamp:  Whats wrong?
[13:55] <rsmith16384> hi
[13:55] <hikejinx> antek, with a clean install, enabling the restricted driver from system > preferences (or administration, I'm on kubuntu, so I'm not sure) > restricted drivers and then installing xserver-xgl, you can get it working.

[14:00] <hikejinx> antek: you'll need to install xserver-xgl as well.
[14:00] <izinucs> rsmith16384, are you using a port  number other  than 80?
[14:00] <chimp> ok i used aptitude purge samba, to get rid of it, but when i install it again, the config file of /etc/samba/smb.conf is still there, i thought purge would remove the altered config file?
[14:00] <rsmith16384> yea...
[14:00] <antek> But fglrx doesn't seem work with my graphic card...
[14:00] <izinucs> rsmith16384, does arvind_ have the right port number?
[14:00] <hikejinx> according to this howto, it does.
[14:01] <DefineByte> I'm trying to get an Xbox360 controller (guitar) working in Ubuntu Gutsy and I'm having no luck.

[14:04] <DefineByte> I've got xpad compiled and in the right place (I presume anyway) but no controller is detected.
[14:05] <KemrinH> I run a Dell XPS M1210 with Intel Centrino Duo 1.6 processor. The Cd/DvD Reader/Writor, only Read/Writes DvD's, but won't read or write CD's at all. I've been using Ubuntu for more than a year but I don't even know where to start on this issue; and I'd really appreciate help. The Disk Drive is brand new; it's a replacement for a previous drive that had the exactally same problem, that I thought was defective hardware. This is not a hardware issue: Pleas
[14:05] <rwycuff> DefineByte:what does happen when you type"cat /dev/input/js0"
[14:06] <DefineByte> nothing is found
[14:06] <DefineByte> Looking at it though I'm wondering if the driver supports guitar controllers after all. x)
[14:07] <amenado> KemrinH-> it just does not read your cd/dvd  or you want to add a new hard disk?
[14:07] <binB4SH> When I try to create VPN Connection via nm-applet when I click on VPN no menu or extra wizard screens appear. Someone knows what's wrong?
[14:08] <KemrinH> Amenado - it works as a Dvd read/writeer, but it won't deal with CD's on any level, and acts like the disk drive's empty when their in there
[14:09] <rwycuff> DefineByte:so any one else gottent the guitar controller to work in that thread
[14:09] <shivamib> i've actually experienced this phenomena
[14:09] <Amy_D_Vamp> now it seems as though i have a bigger problem, i am getting the following error message "Failed to check for installed or available applications"  I tried to reload but whatever i am doing is not working.  Please help
[14:10] <DefineByte> people have got it working in this thread apparently: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596347

[14:14] <amenado> KemrinH-> when you insert a good cdrom disk it does not automatically pop up a nautilus menu?
[14:14] <legend2440> KemrinH: have you tried different brands of cd?
[14:15] <noob-africa> hi folks
[14:15] <geronimaldo> hey noob-africa
[14:15] <noob-africa> am having a little problem remembering how to edit my xorg.conf file
[14:15] <KemrinH> amanado - no, it only recognizes DvD's. If I put in CD's it acts like it's empty.
[14:15] <_Andrew> noob-africa, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:16] <noob-africa> geronimaldo: there are several xorg.conf files in my /etx/X11/ directory... which one is the real one?
[14:16] <geronimaldo> the one just called xorg.conf
[14:16] <geronimaldo> they can´t all have the same nae
[14:16] <KemrinH> legend2440 - I have tried many brands of CD's and types of CD content. it can't read Data CD's, nor Audio CD's, nor professional, nor sony nor gigaware.
[14:16] <shivamib> this one ==> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:16] <legend2440> noob-africa: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:16] <amenado> KemrinH-> this same cd/dvd device works in another os?
[14:17] <geronimaldo> noob-africa remember to back it up first
[14:17] <noob-africa> how?
[14:17] <geronimaldo> ie cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak
[14:17] <noob-africa> and what do i do with all the other xorg.conf files?
[14:17] <geronimaldo> that way if you muck it up. you can just restore the old one.
[14:17] <noob-africa> wont they confuse my system? dont i need just one?
[14:17] <KemrinH> amanado - Yes, it worked in Windows, and even worked to install ubuntu, but once I came up in ubuntu, it wouldn't see even the install cd anymore
[14:18] <amenado> noob-africa and may I suggest a tutorial on using an editor like nano or vim?  please google for one if possible
[14:18] <geronimaldo> noob-africa: i think your system will only read the main one - xorg.conf anyway
[14:18] <izinucs> noob-africa, no.. the system only looks at xorg.conf nothing else
[14:18] <noob-africa> i got an error message with gksudo... it said cannot open display
[14:18] <geronimaldo> what are the others called btw?
[14:19] <noob-africa> there are xorg.conf.1 all the way to xorg.conf.11
[14:19] <noob-africa> then there are xorg.conf.200xxxxxxx four of them
[14:19] <noob-africa> then i have xorg.conf.backup and xorg.conf.failsafe and failsafe.1

[14:34] <earthling> what is the difference between the local ip(192.168.0.*) that we have and the one that some websites show as ours(222.*.*.*)..?
[14:34] <KemrinH> legend2440 - fstab?
[14:35] <elmer> Ubuntu was just like "not cleanly unmounted O NO!"
[14:35] <andy5635353> i have instaled ubuntu, but cannot connect to the internet, the router gives me a dhcp ip address, but i cannot get google.com, msn.com or any other sites
[14:35] <KemrinH> legend2440 - how do I access that?
[14:35] <amenado> earthling-> internal ip address  192.168.xx and your true routable external ip address 222.x.x.x
[14:35] <Stroganoff>  andy5635353 can you ping the router?
[14:35] <andy5635353> yes
[14:35] <legend2440> KemrinH: /etc/fstab is where thre devices are mounted gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[14:36] <amenado> andy5635353-> paste your route -n and cat /etc/resolv.conf
[14:36] <Stroganoff> andy5635353, can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:36] <Stroganoff> ?
[14:36] <amenado> in pastebin
[14:36] <andy5635353> we can ping the website, just the browser keeps waiting
[14:36] <Stroganoff> k
[14:36] <earthling> amenado: does the routable ip address for all the computers on the LAN be same?
[14:36] <KemrinH> # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
[14:36] <KemrinH> #
[14:36] <KemrinH> # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

[14:36] <FloodBot1> KemrinH: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:37] <Stroganoff> "we can ping websites" vs. "cannot connect to the internet" --- i love accurate problem descriptions.
[14:37] <andy5635353> strog - yes
[14:37] <amenado> earthling nope, only one host per ip address
[14:37] <legend2440> !paste ?| KemrinH
[14:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paste ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:37] <geronimaldo> hey.. i´m having troulbe configuring virtualbox from ubuntu server´s comma line. is installing X-server risky at all?
[14:37] <legend2440> !paste | KemrinH
[14:37] <ubotu> KemrinH: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[14:37] <Pici> legend2440: The bot gives the pastebin address when it mutes the person, theres no need to say it again.
[14:37] <earthling> amenado: and its unique?
[14:37] <majikins> hi-I'm installing ubuntu workstations for a community and would like a means of having a feedback form store comments locally
[14:37] <KemrinH> Thanks
[14:37] <legend2440> Pici: ok ty
[14:38] <majikins> for me to check on once in awhile
[14:38] <amenado> earthling yes, each host should have a unique ip address
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> majikins: just use email dude
[14:38] <andre> someone can help me my screen is set to 800x600 in ubuntu 8.04, i used 1024x768, but xrandr tell me that i just can use 800x600
[14:38] <Pici> andre: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[14:38] <andy5635353> Stroganoff: ha ha, i mean we are sort of connected, but firefox dont actually load anything
[14:38] <majikins> does anyone have suggestions on how to go about this?
[14:38] <andre> ok
[14:38] <majikins> no internet access
[14:38] <KB3NZQ_XP> does any one know where i can download gnome for offline install
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> majikins: mail ;)
[14:38] <LjL-Temp> !offline | KB3NZQ_XP
[14:38] <ubotu> KB3NZQ_XP: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/
[14:39] <earthling> amenado: thanks.. :)
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> majikins: you should still be able to mail I believe
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> can anyone 2nd that?
[14:39] <izinucs> KB3NZQ_XP, are you running windows now? or kde?
[14:39] <connor> im going crazy here im in ubuntu 7.10 i just installed a couple of things kde4 libdvdread and vlc and the login sound just keeps repeating itself
[14:39] <majikins> People using this are not very pc literate - I want to make it as easy as possible
[14:39] <KemrinH> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62639/
[14:40] <elmer> restarting PC to see if GRUB works...
[14:40] <majikins> I assume that if using mail, they would need to open up a mail client to do so?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> majikins: get them to put it in a folder then you could rsync to a server at the end of each day
[14:40] <elmer> w00t! GRUB fixed!
[14:40] <KB3NZQ_XP> i just installed ubuntu server but is is all command line
[14:40] <elmer> bye guys
[14:41] <majikins> I was hoping to just have a webpage link - feedback form with submit button and this is stored locally
[14:41] <Zelta> KB3NZQ_XP: You have to install the window manager / file manager yourself
[14:41] <majikins> but how would the mail work?
[14:41] <amenado> KB3NZQ_XP-> man dpkg and man apt-get  to get familiarized with the packaging system on ubuntu
[14:41] <izinucs> KB3NZQ_XP, ah.. to get a desktop do.. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[14:42] <Zelta> except if you are doing a server install you probably don't want a GUI
[14:42] <connor> somebody help me my login sound just keeps looping its driving me crazy im in ubuntu 7.10
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> majikins: it should find the person logged on and dump it there. they should then get notified. the file way is much easier but its more work for you
[14:42] <izinucs> KB3NZQ_XP, so you got  your general license.. good for you
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> connor: does it happen if you reboot
[14:42] <connor> yes
[14:42] <KemrinH> legend2440 - Okay, the first idea, about not trying to write blank media, didn't work
[14:43] <ndubey> please help me problem is posted at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62640/
[14:43] <connor> id installed aa few things kde4 vlc libdvdread and compiz
[14:43] <KemrinH> legend2440 - and the fstab file is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62639/
[14:43] <roger_that_gorax> hey hey hey, How do i tell apache to run .py and .pl files in my website dir
[14:43] <legend2440> KemrinH: you could try instead of udf,iso9660 replace that with auto but write down udf,iso9660 so you can change it back if need be
[14:43] <noob-africa> am back
[14:43] <connor> the only thing i notice is the windows xp went from grub
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> connor: turn off speakers and disble logon sound then reboot and login to test (turn up speakers obviously after reboot)
[14:43] <KB3NZQ_XP> i do but i want to have it so if i redo the server i can just pop in the cd and install with out the internet being connected
[14:43] <noob-africa> but i have an even bigger problem
[14:43] <connor> ok ll try it and come back in 5 minuites
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> connor: you can then play another sound to see if its just that one or a wider issue
[14:43] <noob-africa> all my Evolution Mail configs... messages in inbox, sent, draft, etc., have DISAPPEARED!
[14:43] <connor> thanks
[14:44] <noob-africa> i started up Evolution Mail and it is asking me to configure my accounts...
[14:44] <noob-africa> why?
[14:44] <majikins> thats fine - more for me is better than having a noob have more steps to complete to submit their opinions
[14:44] <noob-africa> and how do i get back my messages?
[14:44] <KemrinH> legend2440 - I could try what instead of that?
[14:44] <Schypher_> hello
[14:44] <debian_>     what you mean why ?
[14:44] <debian_> why wouldn't it ?
[14:44] <izinucs> KB3NZQ_XP, I think it's on the install cd for ubuntu as an accessable package.. you could download that and burn the iso for backup.
[14:44] <majikins> seems like I found sumthing on google involving php with the code
[14:44] <majikins> looks good
[14:44] <dmz17> Probably a dead horse, but thinkpad T61p suspend/resume sortof worked with 7.10, broken with hardy dev. branch. Anyone knows how to make it work again?
[14:44] <Schypher_> do you know the mirror for 8.04?
[14:44] <noob-africa> debian_: well, explain to me why it happened... i had a lot of mail messages in my inbox and sent folders
[14:44] <KB3NZQ_XP> ok
[14:44] <akhilesh> noob-africa: is it the first time you've started evolution ?
[14:44] <legend2440> KemrinH: where it says "udf,iso9660" replace that with the word "auto"
[14:45] <KemrinH> Okay
[14:45] <noob-africa> debian_: arent they supposed to be stored locally?
[14:45] <debian_> never used evolution.
[14:45] <noob-africa> akhilesh: no... i already HAD two accounts set up... with in and out messages
[14:45] <KemrinH> rebooting
[14:45] <legend2440> KemrinH: where it says "udf,iso9660" replace that with the word "auto"  withot the quotes
[14:45] <majikins> ActionParsnip : did your idea involve a mail client or script?
[14:45] <legend2440> KemrinH: where it says "udf,iso9660" replace that with the word "auto"  without the quotes
[14:46] <noob-africa> can anyone rescue me?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> majikins: no you can do it from the shell which may intimidate basic users as its not a pretty gui
[14:46] <kelvin911> what is esound?  should i remove it?
[14:47] <kelvin911> i click auto update, and it suggests me to remove esound, should I do it?
[14:47] <connor> ok i just logged out and in the sound repeated then went it seems to just be system sounds like beeps and things because i played some music and it worked fine
[14:47] <akhilesh> noob-africa: i think mebbe you've logged on thru a different account ..
[14:47] <majikins> nope thats not gonna be good - most of these users have not seen a pc before!
[14:47] <noob-africa> akhilesh: nope... i only have 1 account on this PC... am the only one using it
[14:47] <connor> i just done a sound test and i can still hear it beeping
[14:48] <akhilesh> noob-africa: quite a unique problem i must say
[14:48] <akhilesh> you think mebbe its the bad luck leprachaun ?
[14:48] <akhilesh> :)
[14:48] <noob-africa> akhilesh: yes, very... same thing happened twice to Pidgin as well... three days ago when i restarted it didint find the two accounts i had set up...
[14:48] <noob-africa> akhilesh: happened today, earlier, also
[14:49] <dmz17> Probably a dead horse, but thinkpad T61p suspend/resume sortof worked with 7.10, broken with hardy dev. branch. Anyone knows how to make it work again?
[14:49] <akhilesh> whoa
[14:49] <connor> hello wheres that guy i was talking to earlier
[14:49] <KemrinH> I'm back , that doesn't seem to have helped
[14:50] <akhilesh> noob-africa: have you tried loggin in thru root and trying it then ?
[14:50] <kelvin911> http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotow4.png should i remove esound??? take a look pls
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> connor: just kill system sounds then :) and google for a solution
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> connor: i'd also ensure you are fully updated from repos
[14:50] <noob-africa> akhilesh: not yet, do you know where Evolution Mail stores the messages? can u give me a directory path?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> connor: are you on hardy per chance?
[14:51] <connor> oh im fully updated

[15:31] <genii> kelvin911: Unplug from usb. Replug into usb. Issue: dmesg           then look at last few lines for /dev name. Then: sudo mkfs.<fstype> /dev/<that devname>      eg: sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdz
[15:31] <KemrinH> legend2440 - I'm not sure; it's built into my Dell Laptop

[15:34] <Pici> Ace2016: Channel spam
[15:34] <legend2440> KemrinH: can you put dvd in and then paste mtab again?
[15:34] <genii> kelvin911: You won't need to put it in a file. Just look at the last few lines which is where the info you require will be
[15:34] <ryrules1> will my bcm43xx wireless card support injection in heron
[15:34] <Ace2016> so they made a channel full of spam?

[15:36] <kelvin911> how do i tell which one is floppy?
[15:36] <noob-africa> hi all, i made some headway with Evolution
[15:36] <noob-africa> apparently it stores all the mail in a hidden folder called .evolution
[15:36] <noob-africa> i have  navigated to this folder
[15:36] <legend2440> KemrinH: very strange that adds line to mtab but cd's dont /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf ro,user=jacob 0 0
[15:36] <kelvin911> genii: i ran dmesg and this is the output http://www.pastebin.ca/978355
[15:37] <noob-africa> how do i import the messages into Thunderbird? Thunderbird doesnt see the folder because it is hidden
[15:37] <legend2440> KemrinH: so /dev/scd0 is correct
[15:37] <KemrinH> legend2440 - Okay.
[15:37] <nixnoob> anyone know why gtk-gnutella tries to connect to my home ip address when im on my college network?
[15:37] <genii> kelvin911: /dev/sdc    although it looks like you have tried to mount it already from the previous errors there.
[15:38] <kelvin911> genii: i didnt mount it
[15:38] <kelvin911> when i insert the floppy ubuntu auto mount it
[15:38] <legend2440> KemrinH: i had the opposite problem. cd and cdrw would work fine but dvdrw wouldn't write only read but that fstab entry itold you about fixed it. i'm stumped
[15:39] <amr> hi
[15:39] <amr> im use ubunto

[15:39] <nerdsquad3210> ubuntu is the best linux ever
[15:39] <legend2440> KemrinH: yw
[15:39] <genii> kelvin911: Mounted filesystems usually make the formatter not work.
[15:39] <amr> ok
[15:39] <amr> and so
[15:40] <amr> how can i make it
[15:40] <Zarin> Question: I have just attempted to install a package but it failed due to unmet dependencies, now whenever I run apt-get it won't let me install anything else as it wants me to finish installing the package that failed. Is there any way of cancelling this package installation?
[15:40] <legend2440> KemrinH: still there?

[15:41] <Zarin> DJones, more information please
[15:41] <Zarin> Ah
[15:42] <LjL> Zarin: have you tied « sudo apt-get -f install »?
[15:42] <bakom> where can I configure the energy saving options for gnome? my desktop turns black after 10 mins.
[15:42] <legend2440> KemrinH: open system>preferences>hardware information and look for your burner then highlight and click advanced and see what it says for /dev/something see if it is indeed /dev/scd0
[15:42] <Zarin> DJones, I'm not using a front-end
[15:42] <x0x> LjL can you help me dns?
[15:43] <LjL> x0x: can you repeat your question?
[15:43] <DJones> Zarin: You're better following what LjL has suggested, I only know about the factiod, not how else to solve it as I've never had it crash on me
[15:43] <Zarin> LjL, Yes I have tried that. Everything still fails due to unmet dependacies
[15:43] <x0x> i want to set dns and i am really tired to do it. still i cant figured it out how to do it
[15:44] <LjL> DJones, that factoid is useful when apt actually crashes. in this case, it simply seems to be a matter of unmet dependencies

[15:45] <KemrinH> legend2440 - it is indeed
[15:45] <noob-africa> isnt anyone going to help me? or am i speaking in such a foreign language i cannot be understood?
[15:45] <LjL> x0x: "set DNS", as in, select the DNS servers you want to use?
[15:46] <legend2440> KemrinH: ok now if you scroll down there are entries like cdrw true? they should say true
[15:46] <legend2440> KemrinH: and cd true
[15:46] <KemrinH> They say false
[15:46] <helix> hi ppl is there any wireless presenter software available for nokia phone in linux base
[15:46] <Pici> noob-africa: press ctrl-h while in the open file window to view hidden files/fodlers.
[15:47] <Zarin> LjL, the package was "kdegames-kde4" and here's the errors of those two commands: http://pastebin.ca/978371
[15:47] <noob-africa> Pici:  thank u
[15:47] <x0x> LjL ie ns1.mydomain.com i want to set as domain name server. and also add it to my box how do i do it?
[15:47] <legend2440> KemrinH: ok wait a sec now for dvd and dvdrw say true or false?
[15:47] <KemrinH> legend2440 - wait... cdrom.bd cdrom.bdr are false
[15:48] <LjL> x0x: well, the proper way to do it would be to set it in the GNOME preferences for network. but, i don't use GNOME, and i've also encountered problems with network-manager and resolvconf, so i've removed both, and i set my DNS directly in /etc/resolv.conf (note that if you're using DHCP, that too will change your DNS servers automatically)
[15:48] <helix> hi ppl is there any wireless presenter software available for nokia phone in linux base can some one help me advance thanks
[15:48] <legend2440> KemrinH: yes they should say false
[15:48] <LjL> x0x: but i can't really say that's the recommended way to set DNS :)
[15:48] <KemrinH> legend2440 - cdrom.cdr = true cdrom.cdwr =true cdrom.dvd=true etc
[15:48] <legend2440> kem ok thats normal
[15:49] <amr> and
[15:49] <LjL> Zarin: ouch, ouch... pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list, and join #kubuntu-kde4
[15:49] <amr> im need mandrek
[15:49] <Zarin> LjL, it looks like the dependency error was from me also installing kde4games, which was a dud. The problem is I cannot run apt-get the remove the package until I fix the dependency errors.
[15:49] <freeboat> Hey how can i run Microsoft office, etc in Wine? (if i'm on linux) i have to install it on a windows and then go to the mounted disk and open it with wine?
[15:50] <x0x> LjL i didnt mean name server. i mean domain name server.
[15:50] <LjL> Zarin: a package that is half-installed cannot be removed (unless you use very many force options, but you should try to avoid that if possible)
[15:50] <HinHin> freeboat, have you tried installing via wine?
[15:50] <HinHin> it should install and run
[15:50] <LjL> x0x: i think i don't know the difference between the two
[15:50] <HinHin> freeboat, if not, there's cross-over office
[15:50] <cyka> yo
[15:51] <freeboat> whats that HinHin
[15:51] <HinHin> (but that's a commerical product)
[15:51] <legend2440> KemrinH: did you try google ubuntu gutsy dell<model name> cdrom for possible answers?
[15:51] <cyka> who knows how to change the screen resolution in ubuntu 7.10 taht was GNOME now KDE?

[15:52] <Pici> noob-africa: No, sorry. I don't use it.
[15:52] <Bjbbop> hello
[15:52] <legend2440> KemrinH: under hardware information did it list name and model of your burner?
[15:52] <Bjbbop> all
[15:52] <cyka> since when i took gnome off
[15:52] <x0x> LjL: nameserver for resolve ip from hostname. dns domain name server. resolve ip from domain. or something i cant explain what is dns
[15:52] <x0x> lol
[15:52] <cyka> i took ervything gnome
[15:52] <Bjbbop> helppppppppppp
[15:52] <Bjbbop> man i"m helpless
[15:53] <genii> kelvin911: Results of that indicate the floppy is mounted as fileystem type vfat already on /media/disk             So if you want to format it, : sudo umount /media/disk   then to do the mkfs command as before but for what filesystem type. Since linux wants ext type normally that. eg:  sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc      would make the floppy formatted to ext2 in this case
[15:53] <amenado> kelvin911-> make a floppy? try   man dd
[15:53] <Bjbbop> nothing work

[15:53] <Bjbbop> i tried to play a movie
[15:53] <Pici> noob-africa: Webmail only, sorry ;)
[15:53] <CJS3141> If I have a executable script, what is the difference between running it as "sh myscript" or "./myscript"?
[15:53] <LjL> x0x: no, in fact i don't get you :) i thought a Domain Name Server resolved "stuff" into IP addresses generally speaking.
[15:53] <legend2440> KemrinH: ok good luck sorry i couldn't help
[15:53] <cyka> Bjbbop: u need to open the package finder and look for "GSstreamer"
[15:53] <kelvin911> genii: how to make a rootdisk with deliroot.img?
[15:53] <cyka> or rather
[15:53] <cyka> GStreamer

[15:53] <x0x> amenado i want to add dns. like ns1.amaderbanglachat.com (its my domain. i have control over it). and i want to add it to my box. now how do i do it?
[15:53] <amenado> kelvin911->  try   man dd
[15:54] <genii> kelvin911: To make a floppy from img file, is like so:     sudo dd if=/path/and/name/of/imagefile.img of=/dev/floppydevicenamehere
[15:54] <kelvin911> genii: dd if=deliroot.img of=/dev/sdc ??
[15:54] <Pici> noob-africa: I dont know, sorry.
[15:54] <Bjbbop> Djones> where do i find a program that plays it properly i did opened the package and it has been installed all the 3 of them there was 3
[15:54] <kelvin911> genii: do i have to format the disk b4 i do that?
[15:54] <Bjbbop> but still working very bad
[15:54] <MGS88> hi
[15:54] <Bjbbop> thank you for your help by the way
[15:54] <amenado> x0x you are running your own name server?
[15:54] <MGS88> I tried to run compiz fusion on Gutsy Gibbon
[15:54] <MGS88> and I change the xorg.conf then when I reboot
[15:54] <MGS88> gutsy and put the user name they give me this
[15:54] <MGS88> message: ubuntu run in safe mode...
[15:54] <MGS88> and I try to run ubuntu several times
[15:54] <MGS88> but I can’t because the message open before x window
[15:54] <freeboat> you guys think its a smart idea to install linux on a external hd, and use another external/
[15:54] <MGS88> not:I put this code:-
[15:54] <MGS88> "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[15:54] <DJones> Bjbbop: is it a dvd movie?
[15:54] <MGS88> in recovery mode and I do right steps but
[15:54] <freeboat> for storage
[15:54] <MGS88> it didn’t work
[15:55] <genii> kelvin911: Basically yes for dd usage there if your command prompt is in the directory containing deliroot.img          No you don't have to format floppy if making it from .img file

[16:04] <MGS88> hi
[16:04] <MGS88> I tried to run compiz fusion on Gutsy Gibbon and I change the xorg.conf then when I reboot gutsy and put the user name they give me this message: ubuntu run in safe mode...  and I try to run ubuntu several times  but I can’t because the message open before x window

[16:05] <Bjbbop> man i use to be good at computer
[16:05] <Pici> Deehan: You can use rm to delete things from the terminal, or run gksudo nautilus to get root privleges in a gui, As always, be careful when handling things in root, you CAN break thigns.
[16:05] <cyka> anyone know how to enable root logins under KDE???
[16:05] <x0x> amenado http://pastebin.com/m1c21be04 does it look ok to you?
[16:05] <unop> cyka, you don't want to do that, it's not advisable
[16:05] <cyka> since under gnome i had it going into root and out again fine
[16:05] <Deehan> hold on a sec.. let me try
[16:05] <Bjbbop> i"m getting old
[16:05] <cyka> unop: for certain things i do need it
[16:05] <unop> cyka, like what exactly?
[16:06] <zack> what program would I use to connect to a virtual desktop?
[16:06] <cyka> i've been using root for fixing things i break
[16:06] <bazhang> root on irc? seriously bad idea cyka
[16:06] <cyka> liek i occasionally break my repositories
[16:06] <Orbixx> Pici: Thanks, got it. :D
[16:06] <unop> cyka, you can always use !sudo as a normal user
[16:06]  * x0x is pissed off with dns
[16:06] <cyka> bazhang: i don't msn or internet usually on root
[16:06] <MGS88> --> amenado what you mean
[16:06] <Pici> Orbixx: I was *just* about to paste this to you, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
[16:06] <cyka> sudo gedit filename?
[16:06] <bazhang> when you log in as root..
[16:06] <Orbixx> That's where I was :P
[16:06] <Orbixx> Found it when I went back.
[16:07] <zack> what program would I use to connect to a virtual desktop? the computer is using vmware
[16:07] <Orbixx> I expected to see "Ubuntu Server" instead of "Command Line".
[16:07] <unop> cyka, for GUI apps use gksu/gksudo instead of sudo
[16:07] <Orbixx> I completely missed it.
[16:07] <genii> cyka: use gksu or gksudo for graphical Gnome applications
[16:07] <MGS88> amenado --> what you mean
[16:07] <cyka> i'm using KDE
[16:07] <unop> cyka, kdesu then
[16:07] <Deehan> Pici: got root privileges but still not able to delete the file

[16:08] <amenado> MGS88-> type this in a terminal   runlevel
[16:08] <cyka> so kdesu gedit....
[16:08] <Deehan> Pici: its asking me to run the app and i cannot run the folder as app.
[16:08] <Bjbbop> cyka>> if it askes for password every install that means i"m not on root yeah ??

[16:09] <genii> cyka: Don't use kdesu with gedit. Still use gksu/gksudo        use kdesu for kate or whatever other kde gui text editor
[16:09] <cyka> yes
[16:09] <kelvin911> how big should i make the swap file?
[16:09] <cyka> ah yeah

[16:21] <Deehan> Pici: it was from apt-get stuff
[16:21] <bazhang> arvind_khadri: best to do it in server window not ubuntu channel window
[16:21] <Pici> Deehan: Then just sudo apt-get remove skype
[16:21] <rindolf> Works now, don't know what happened.
[16:22] <arvind_khadri> bazhang, :) yeah i know...it says not registered
[16:22] <bazhang> donkey7186: you want twinhead or xinerama?
[16:22] <Deehan> Pici: the problem the package is not been identified. Skype didnt get installed so its not idenitifying!
[16:22] <Jupp> donkey7186: Try System->Prefereces->Screen Resolution
[16:22] <donkey7186> twinhead or xinerama?
[16:22] <Pici> Deehan: I don't understand what you mean.
[16:23] <JuJuBee> TO update all installed packages from cli, is it sudo apt-get update or upgrade?
[16:23] <donkey7186> Jupp do i have to say make this default???
[16:23] <bazhang> donkey7186: you want to use two screens right?
[16:23] <Deehan> Pici: in the terminal it says Couldn't find the package skype
[16:23] <donkey7186> bazhang: yes

[16:23] <bazhang> donkey7186: as one contiguous desktop or two seperate ones?
[16:23] <donkey7186> bazhang i had it working it was just when i took off my external monitor that is when my laptop screen got messed up
[16:24] <donkey7186> bazhang can i do both? like choose and all?
[16:24] <Jupp> donkey7186, you don't need to check it
[16:24] <bazhang> donkey7186: you can /msg ubotu xinerama or twinhead for some instructions on how to do that
[16:24] <Deehan> Pici: but i can see there is a folder in the user/share. i need to delete it. i have to have root acees to delete it. which i don't know
[16:25] <donkey7186> jupp cause i went to system> admin> screen and graphics> when i chose the setting it only had 640:...
[16:25] <bazhang> arvind_khadri: okay nice going ;]
[16:25] <pale-yafa> hello, asking again, when I run the script in terminal by typing php /path/to/script it does the job, and when it runs automatically with the cron it does not, and I see in the log that it ddid run, but no result, what am I missing?

[16:26] <Bjbbop> Cyka >>how do i cancel the loging all the time i start the laptop
[16:26] <ghazi-Ubuntu> hello
[16:26] <Pici> Deehan: If you installed it using apt, then it has to be there somewhere. Perhaps you arent using the right name.
[16:26] <Belkinhelp3> is there a ubuntu "safe mode
[16:26] <bruenig> Belkinhelp3: what is that supposed to mean
[16:26] <Deehan> Pici: any other solutions perhaps?
[16:26] <Jupp> donkey7186,do you get more resolution options when you go to "Screen resolution"?
[16:27] <Belkinhelp3> bruenig...in windows speak there is a "safe mode" setting where only minimal drivers are loaded
[16:27] <bazhang> Belkinhelp3: safe mode for the graphics yes, not sure about mobo fryage though
[16:27] <brap> hello, can anyone one  here help me with installing  from source?
[16:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Bjbbop, system.. admin.. login window.. security tab.. enable automatic login..
[16:27] <donkey7186> yes but maybe cause i changed it from plug and play to lcd it could mess it up?
[16:27] <Jaymac> Belkinhelp3: yes, you can boot in single-user mode...
[16:27] <grips> hi, when i try to format sdc1 i get this error: /dev/sdc1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! any ideas ?
