[13:15] <Dexical> NetworkManager isn't working, or at least the front-end applet. It doesn't detect my wireless card, although I can access and configure it through the console with iwconfig/wireless-tools. I can disable wireless, enable it and disable/enable the interface. If I want to right click to connect to any wifi AP, it says "no network device found". Can somone help me figure this out?
[13:16] <lololo> Hello, how to install NVidia driver for GeForce 8400M at 64 bit system?!
[13:16] <filthpig> Accidus, there is a possibility that the file does not exist. I dunno about that, though.
[13:16] <Dexical> I remembered that you can't use NetworkManager to configure network interfaces if they're specified in /etc/network/interfaces
[13:16] <xtermin8r> Hi
[13:16] <Dexical> But only loopback is there
[13:16] <filthpig> Accidus, tried this: http://www.nada.kth.se/cgi-bin/info?(kpathsea)Supported%20file%20formats
[13:16] <xtermin8r> Anyone seen a skinnable media player that I can make big buttons for my touchscreen with?  (not mythtv as it installs 700mb of junk).
[13:16] <bpun> ushimitsudoki, thanks, this is for somebody... can you see this log please? http://pastebin.ca/1051881  .. not sure what the 'unclaimed' is meaning...
[13:16] <lololo> vlc
[13:16] <Accidus> Thanks filthpig
[13:17] <frold> Im looking for a good RubyonRail editor for ubuntu - what do you recommand Im using?
[13:17] <bpun> or if anyone can see this?
[13:17] <Accidus> I'm wondering, though, why there's no info page about it
[13:17] <cranshinibon> i do have a sound card and im pretty sure i disabled it....i took of the onboard sound as well as the instant music config
[13:17] <Accidus> (on my machine, that is)
[13:17] <filthpig> lololo, the ubuntu restricted driver installer should do that for you. System - administration - restricted drivers
[13:17] <xtermin8r> lololo: ok, thanks.
[13:17] <lololo> but i want OFFICIAL driver pack
[13:17] <lololo> i cant find .run for 8400M
[13:18] <lololo> only  8700M :(
[13:18] <derspankster> cranshinibon, you can check if you disabled by plugging your speakers in the onboard port.
[13:18] <zoliky> Hi
[13:18] <mr_whippy> hey all
[13:18] <cranshinibon> kk lemme check then
[13:18] <filthpig> fudus9, I'm not on ubuntu right now (running XP, ugh), but I guess it should be under system - prefs - appearance (just a guess)
[13:18] <zoliky> Is possible to read/write an OS X leopard HDD in ubuntu?
[13:18] <[newb]Miki> I must say you people here are very helpfull -.-
[13:19] <zoliky> I need to transfer a file to osx partition
[13:19] <filthpig> lololo, you DO get the official from the restr. driver program. Maybe not the latest, but the safest.
[13:19] <lololo> i tried, compiz doesnt work with it ;(
[13:19] <derspankster> cranshinibon, check this page as well, http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html
[13:20] <lololo> maybe it is too new for uboontoo driver?
[13:20] <ushimitsudoki> bpun: can you look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Perhaps the driver module is failing to load? I am not sure why "UNCLAIMED" is there, and the driver and module are not listed in the "configuration: " line in the output
[13:20] <cranshinibon> ive been to the website but i dont know what to do once im there
[13:20] <dns53> zoliky it should be,  does anyone know what file system they use by default?
[13:20] <Dexical> Hey guys my wireless doesn't work. Except it does - if I configure it from the command line. I dont want to do this every time, how do I get the applet for NetworkManager to be able to connect to wireless networks on right-click?
[13:20] <kaloyan> what does the TIME FORMAT in dmesg and  logs represent
[13:21] <derspankster> cranshinibon, have you read it? You mean you don't understand it?
[13:21] <mr_whippy> can anyone help me with a problem, how do i allow my client to connect to my server once i have reinstalled the server i cant connect using ssh it says i need to modify a file(havent got the file name as of yet, as i havent reinstalled the server last time i ended up reinstalling the client as well) if i just delete the content of the file will it allow me to connect then
[13:21] <cranshinibon> ive read it but im not sure exactly what to do...btw my onboard is still working for some reason
[13:22] <derspankster> cranshinibon, your onboard should not be working if you disabled it in your bios. This is most likely your issue.
[13:22] <Accidus> Ah! I found it
[13:22] <Accidus> My texlive-base-bin-doc package wasn't installed
[13:22] <filthpig> Dexical, I guess you can write a script that launches at boot, but I don't know how, sorry
[13:23] <kaloyan> what does the TIME FORMAT in dmesg and  logs represent ,more importantly how can i change it
[13:23] <zoliky> Is possible to read/write a HFS+ partition on ubuntu live CD?
[13:23] <filthpig> Accidus, oh, that's obvious ;p
[13:23] <kaloyan> any pointers???
[13:23] <x_dimitri> I need help getting an iburst pcmcia card to work on ubuntu. Has anybody been able to get this working?
[13:23] <Accidus> :-)
[13:23] <cranshinibon> let me double check again its weird that its not opening
[13:23] <cranshinibon> brb
[13:23] <Accidus> I have another problem though, although I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask it
[13:23] <bhc> i use pcmcia 3g modem
[13:23] <bhc> works well
[13:24] <Accidus> My headphones used to work up to several days ago
[13:24] <filthpig> Accidus, ask and we'll see
[13:24] <Accidus> Now they've stopped working
[13:24] <Accidus> I suspect this may have to do with Skype, since this is the only application I've installed that may have anything to do with it
[13:24] <x_dimitri> bhc:I'm having problems installing the pcmcia driver form sourceforge
[13:24] <bpun> ushimitsudoki, y the radeon, ati and a fb driver are being loaded...
[13:24] <Accidus> I've tried the system->sound system configuration
[13:24] <Accidus> and the Kmix application
[13:24] <bhc> my kubuntu auto detect the pcmcia
[13:24] <Accidus> but either I'm using them wrong, or that's not the way to ask it
[13:25] <ushimitsudoki> bpun: hmm, and only one of those is listen in xorg.conf?
[13:25] <mr_whippy> hey all, can anyone help me with an ssh problem should be a quicky
[13:25] <x_dimitri> bhc:did you have you install the drivers manually
[13:25] <ushimitsudoki> bpun:  listen = listed
[13:25] <bhc> nope
[13:25] <x_dimitri> bhcL did you have to install the drivers manually?
[13:25] <bhc> plug and play
[13:25] <dbglt> for some odd reason... whenever I click... it's coming out as a double click... suffice to say, it's very annoying
[13:25] <kaloyan> anybody about the time format in dmesg?
[13:25] <dbglt> any ideas? :
[13:26] <x_dimitri> bhc: well, it's not working for me... :-(
[13:26] <filthpig> Accidus, hm, you might wanna try the #kubuntu channel, but I guess there's just a setting that's been changed. I guess you can try alsamixer and see if you find anything there.
[13:26] <bpun> ushimitsudoki, correct, just "ati" i believe - will ask him for the log file
[13:27] <ushimitsudoki> bpun: well, that is my best suggestion to check - i don't have ATI card on this machine
[13:27] <m1r> how to tell grub that partition it need boot is EXT3 ?
[13:27] <adante> hi, can someone tell me how to start my bluetooth adapter?
[13:28] <[newb]Miki> Where can you find a list of all the hardware in your pc?!!!
[13:29] <rsk> [newb]Miki: lspci
[13:29] <cranshinibon> ok so yeah onboard audio is disabled as well as instant music configuration, midi port and gaming port but for some reason its still working when i plug it in
[13:29] <filthpig> [newb]Miki, use lspci in a terminal
[13:30] <[newb]Miki> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] <-- it knows my vid is in
[13:30] <derspankster> cranshinibon, "instant" music?
[13:30] <[newb]Miki> why do i only get 150 fps in glxgears?
[13:31] <cranshinibon> its a dumb little thing under the extras tab
[13:31] <Tophat> can someone please help me with a  bcm43xx issue?  ive followed the tutorials on the forums and had it working once, but now it shows up, but doesn't find a wirelss access point.
[13:31] <filthpig> [newb]Miki, appearantly you don't have the 3d acc driver installed
[13:31] <dns53> [newb]Miki run glxinfo
[13:31] <[newb]Miki> glx gears is completely rendered by my processor :(
[13:31] <remfarkas> Tophat, i got it work with ndiswrapper
[13:32] <Tophat> remfarkas - me too.
[13:32] <Tophat> remfarkas - i can't use the b43 driver - just not up to par just yet
[13:32] <LordOllie> I get around 4k frames/sec
[13:32] <afeijo> hello all
[13:32] <[newb]Miki> http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ here is the log of the glxinfo
[13:32] <derspankster> cranshinibon, and you're sure your soundblaster is the selected device? Using alsa mixer?
[13:32] <afeijo> my crontab isnt working in my user, only with sudo
[13:33] <afeijo> how can I investigate that?
[13:33] <[newb]Miki> filthpig how do i install it? there is nothing in the list at 'restricted' drivers
[13:33] <filthpig> [newb]Miki, I have no experience with ati drivers myself, so I don't know
[13:33] <cranshinibon> yeah
[13:33] <filthpig> [newb]Miki, installing envy might help
[13:33] <bdancer> hi all
[13:33] <jpds> !envy  | filthpig
[13:33] <[newb]Miki> in #ATI they can't help me :(
[13:33] <afeijo> my crontab isnt working in my user, only with sudo. How to investigate?
[13:34] <bdancer> is there any repositories for gusty with KDE 4 SVN?
[13:34] <kevin_the> Setting printer slave terminal in gnome?
[13:34] <derspankster> cranshinibon, well, ubuntu is outputting to your onboard audio
[13:34] <[newb]Miki> erm i got them, they are under application : systemtools
[13:34] <ananda> join #ubuntu-br
[13:34] <cranshinibon> double click on volume control > file > change device >  audigy 2 zs [SB0350] (also mixer)
[13:35] <pteague_work> anybody know if it's possible to get ubuntu to do dual-monitors with a Y video cable?
[13:35] <cranshinibon> how can i make it output to the soundcard though
[13:35] <_eks_> anybody familiar with xmonad ?
[13:35] <afeijo> pteague: what?? thats just mirroring screen
[13:36] <[newb]Miki> i got an error with envy : card is either not found or not supported
[13:36] <bdancer> is there any repositories for hardy with KDE 4 SVN builds?
[13:36] <[newb]Miki> where can you find a list of cards that work with envy?
[13:36] <adante> howdy, i have a laptop, how does it know to do what it does when i press the Fn+X keys? is this an acpi thing? i tried disabling acpid but it still did it
[13:36] <kevin_the> Setting printer slave terminal in gnome?
[13:36] <derspankster> cranshinibon, I can only speak from my experience. I switched off my onboard audio from my bios and then found that I had to change the normal speaker port to another one to get sound. My card is an old soundblaster live.
[13:37] <chade> Anyone know why USB mice will no longer work on my machine?  They light up but I cant move the cursor.  Tryed a brand new mouse still nothing
[13:37] <wire0> please someone help me... i finally got wireless working but the signal strenght is a joke.. no its NOT my setup I get 100% in windows, so I know this is related to linux
[13:37] <cranshinibon> hm ill try to switch it again...maybe i missed one....the only thing i find awkward is that the onboard works even under the audigy alsa
[13:37] <cranshinibon> is that normal?
[13:37] <wire0> knetwork tells me 55% and sometimes its down to 20% = UNACEPTABLE
[13:38] <Riotta> wire0:  what wireless card you use ?
[13:38] <Riotta> it's probably releated to this card
[13:38] <wire0> Riotta: D-Link DWL-G510
[13:38] <derspankster> cranshinibon, the OS is porting sound through your onboard apparently, independent of what you select.
[13:39] <Riotta> maybe that can be helpful for you wire0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176752
[13:39] <cranshinibon> any ideas? i mean i dont mind using the onboard sound but id much rather use the card ive had for god knows how many years
[13:39] <wire0> Riotta: thanks but that guide is useless
[13:40] <wire0> Riotta: I run into so many compiliing errors im crying
[13:40] <chade> USB mice will not work on my system ... what can i do ?
[13:40] <wire0> how do you check signal strenght without using knetwork manager?
[13:40] <Tophat> how can i setup an ad hoc network in ubuntu?
[13:41] <derspankster> cranshinibon, I'm unsure of what else to tell you. My experience is limited to my soundblaster live card. I had the same issues as you and solved them as I've previously described.
[13:41] <wire0> any bash command to verify true signal strenght
[13:41] <warddr> how can I make screenshots of wine-games?
[13:41] <tschaka> wire0 try something like "iwlist wlan0"
[13:41] <filthpig> I'm gonna buy a new wlan pcmcia (or usb) card very soon. Do you know of any cards (chipsets) that have OPEN SOURCE drivers?
[13:42] <tschaka> got no wireless here, so dunno exactly. but i could check on another machine
[13:42] <Ecnerifed> hi all, how can i get my ubuntu to just auto update everyday instead of asking me and telling me theres new updates every day?
[13:42] <Tophat> filthpig - most linksys products are
[13:42] <cranshinibon> screw it lol ill just use the onboard
[13:42] <wire0> its funny ralikn supports linux
[13:42] <wire0> they have linux drivers
[13:43] <wire0> not that it matters
[13:43] <wire0> tschaka hmm "unknown command"
[13:43] <derspankster> cranshinibon, sorry i couldn't get you going, perhaps someone else?
[13:43] <cranshinibon> now how do i get my external hard drive to mount so i can access the files lol
[13:43] <adante> the bluetooth icon in the tray - should it do something when i click on it?
[13:43] <wire0> I need to calm down im so angry
[13:43] <danza> wire0, try iwconfig
[13:43] <filthpig> Tophat, not the usb device I bought last time ;) Maybe they've fixed that since then, although I haven't heard about it
[13:43] <cranshinibon> you helped me plenty :) lol i wouldnt have even tried the onboard in the first place
[13:43] <tschaka> wire0 calm :D eerr, is this card a ralink chipset?
[13:44] <wire0> Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g
[13:44] <wire0> iwconfig  Link Quality=75/100  Signal level=-28 dBm
[13:44] <sirlark> Hi there, I'm trying to set up a software raid1 system, following the instructions available at http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server. But so far I cannot get it to boot
[13:44] <tschaka> wire0 ok. signal level is ok. -28 dbm is a quite good value.
[13:44] <sirlark> I'm installing from scratch
[13:45] <sirlark> wire0: trying to get ralink wireless card to work?
[13:45] <wire0> tschaka: yeah but its not stable, it gose from 75- down to 20% all the time
[13:45] <wire0> yeah
[13:45] <tschaka> wire0 general question, do you experience some unstabilities when downloading files from the internet? or moving files on network?
[13:45] <[newb]Miki> i need an ATI 7500 mobility radeon driver
[13:45] <tschaka> wire0 quality and signal level isnt the same.
[13:45] <cranshinibon> how do i change myself to root
[13:45] <wire0> tschaka i dont understand
[13:46] <wire0> tschake hold on
[13:46] <hfmls> hi
[13:46] <sirlark> cranshinibon: assuming you've set a root passwd, just use su
[13:46] <wire0> I will start my server, I can leach at 1mB/s with full strenght in windows
[13:46] <hfmls> guys how do i send exaile near the clock? like emesene and xchat
[13:46] <wire0> lets see
[13:46] <cranshinibon> oh thats it lol i figured it was different hahahaha
[13:46] <sirlark> cranshinibon: if you haven't set a rot passwd yet, use sudo passwd
[13:46] <cranshinibon> ty
[13:46] <tschaka> wire0 i mean on ubuntu.
[13:46] <wire0> oh
[13:46] <jrib> !root > cranshinibon (read the private message from ubottu)
[13:46] <otsman>  i'm wondering if any taskserver exists for linux, i don't know if such software solution exists in any platform but probably there is. i' need something like rememberthemilk.com but shared by departments, any idea?
[13:47] <jrib> sirlark: please inform users of sudo before recommending that.  It's entirely unnecessary
[13:47] <derspankster> anyone having problems reaching ubuntu forums today?
[13:47] <jrib> cranshinibon: there is no need to set a root password, and doing so isn't even recomended
[13:47] <tschaka> wire0 i'm asking, coz i got 2 machines with rt61 chipset based cards, and both are very very much unstable when moving files on high bandwidth. (also on 250 kB/s) etc.
[13:47] <axisys> how do I find out what files gets installed from a pkg name ?
[13:47] <axisys> from cli
[13:47] <jrib> axisys: dpkg -L
[13:47] <cranshinibon> how do i remove the password then
[13:47] <hfmls> how do i send exaile to tray ?
[13:48] <axisys> jrib: dpkg -L <pkg-name> ?
[13:48] <cranshinibon> nvm
[13:48] <tschaka> wire0 other thing is, you should rather rely on signal level then on quality. as far as i know, this is much more important. you could do e.g. a "ping www.google.se" do found out, if you got packet loss.
[13:48] <jrib> axisys: yes
[13:48] <sirlark> jrib: sorry, I'm a gentoo man, never use sudo myself, keep forgetting you ubuntu guys don't like su
[13:48] <dns53> hfmls it is an option in the preferences to use the tray and taskbar
[13:48] <axisys> jrib: thnx
[13:49] <tschaka> hfmls click on the tray icon.
[13:49] <jrib> cranshinibon: passwd -l root  will lock the account again
[13:49] <x-ip> Q: which is the default run level in ubuntu hardy heron ? i cant find /etc/inittab to know it
[13:49] <Starnestommy> x-ip: 2
[13:49] <wire0> tschaka, i pinged google, 64 bytes from py-in-f99.google.com (<IP_ADDRESS>): icmp_seq=1 ttl=238 time=124
[13:49] <cranshinibon> how do i mount my external hard drive i get an error : Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount the volume 'New Volume'.
[13:50] <tschaka> wire0 let it run for 2 minutes or something, and look for packet loss.
[13:50] <wire0> tschaka: okay I will, and thanks for sticking with me friend
[13:50] <tschaka> wire0 if there is no, your connection should be stable. no
[13:50] <x-ip> thanks Starnestommy ^.^'' ... if its not to much to ask ... where is this defined ?
[13:50] <Saied> I have a problem with Firefox 3 in font rendering, http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/mail_merge_openoffice_org this page apears sth like this http://tinypic.info/files/vnbio76ugmtz993gtjlk.jpg How can i solve it?
[13:50] <tschaka> wire0 no problem*
[13:52] <sirlark> has anyone successfully set up a raid0 machine using ubuntu-server? I can't get my fresh installation to boot
[13:52] <dns53> sirlark what is your problem?
[13:53] <Starnestommy> x-ip: I think it's /etc/event.d/rc-default
[13:53] <sirlark> I have a fresh ubuntu server install on a RAID1 (sorry typo in last post) system. I'm getting the BIOS message DISK BOOT FAILURE ...
[13:55] <jmazaredo> anyone have a setup of ubuntu+ postfix with postfixadmin here
[13:55] <Jaffarkelshac> !fonts
[13:55] <dns53> sirlark the /boot should not be part of the raid or duplicated with raid 0, best to have grub in the mbr on all drives
[13:56] <x-ip> thanks a lot Starnestommy =)
[13:56] <sirlark> dns, I have grub setup'd all drives successfully, but don't have a separate boot partition... is this strictly necessary? i.e. I have to reinstall
[13:57] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to limit the upload speed on my PC with ubuntu?
[13:57] <wire0> tschaka hmm is it normal that it takes this long?
[13:58] <tschaka> wire0 what do you mean exactly?
[13:58] <tschaka> wire0 when cancelling the ping (through ctrl+c) there is a summary. do you see packet loss there?
[13:58] <wire0> tschake oh i thought it would stop on its own , oka doing ctrl+c now

[13:59] <Fackamato> Hi guys. Can I install ndiswrapper from the ubuntu cd?
[13:59] <Fackamato> (8.04, 64bit)
[13:59] <Fackamato> And also, I need the XP 64bit driver for ndiswrapper to work in 64bit ubuntu, right?
[13:59] <Conundrum_> !Mplayer
[13:59] <sirlark> dns53: err, I also have RAID disabled in BIOS, but I was under the impression that BIOS raid was not necessary
[14:00] <tschaka> wire0 mmh well the ping seems pretty much high. but as long as you wont play online games this shouldnt matter. at least there is no packet loss, which means your connection should be pretty stable. those fluctuating times could be an issue of the driver (which is still in development) but shouldnt disturb too much.
[14:00] <MohammadBoozary> what is GIO package ? How to i can install it in ubuntu gutsy ? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/74154/
[14:00] <cranshinibon> is forcing an NTFS mount a bad idea?
[14:01] <wire0> tschake I dont game at all, but what about downloading?
[14:01] <hfmls> guys what do i have to download to watch 3gp ?
[14:01] <hfmls> k800 video
[14:01] <dns53> sirlark you are probably setting up software raid (unless you have a really expensive add on card), you need the kernel to boot first then start the raid, so have the /boot fies in a separate partition
[14:02] <tschaka> wire0 but, to tell you already, if u will experience connection drops when downloading or moving files on the network, i can't help you. but this isnt related to ping times, they shouldnt affect Downloads and DL speeds not at all.
[14:02] <sirlark> dns53: cool, thanks, reinstalling now
[14:02] <wire0> tschaka: okay im gonna try my server now, starting with a HD movie 30GB, im used to 1mB/s lets see
[14:03] <MohammadBoozary> Who Have Fiber Channel Internet ?
[14:03] <tschaka> wire0 could be you need to reconnect after that (disable network in knetworkmanager and enable it again) or even reboot. if DL stops.
[14:03] <hfmls> i eat fiber cereials while i'm internet
[14:04] <Riotta> is it safe to disable mountfs-bootclean.sh and waitnfs daemons at but up, If I don't use samba and not sharing folders with other computers in the web ?
[14:04] <Aborym> What is the maximum size supported for a RAID volume in Ubuntu? Do I need to patch the kernel for volumes larger than 8TB?
[14:05] <Riotta> at *boot up
[14:05] <hfmls> guys
[14:05] <hfmls> how can i watch 3gp movies in mplayer

[14:08] <andycas2> whats the difference between primary and logic partition types?
[14:08] <home_> 10x Jack_Sparrow
[14:09] <Aborym> adante: Uh not sure.. you could just add it to /etc/hosts as a temporary fix
[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ you can also set it up to save changes to usb
[14:09] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to limit the upload speed on my PC with ubuntu?
[14:09] <rantic> Could anyone tell me how I would troubleshoot a headset where the microphone doesn't work ?
[14:09] <dns53> andycas2 you can only have 4 primary partitions, you can make one of them an extended partiton and these do not have a limit
[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ If you want to do that it is called persistent mode
[14:09] <home_> well i want is to check if is mst wrong with my HD
[14:09] <filthpig> I'm gonna buy a new wlan pcmcia (or usb) card very soon. Does anyone know of a card that works out of the box and is on the shelves?

[14:11] <Aborym> filthpig :D
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[14:11] <rantic> I must applaud developers, this is my first experience with Linux and in less then an hour counterstrike is running ^^
[14:11] <Demented_Ferret> Hi is there a room on this server that can explain what ubuntu is as a newbie ?

[14:13] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ Did you boot the livecd and get to a desktop where you cant do anything
[14:13] <Aborym> dns53: Okay I just checked out wikipedia, and it seems my requirement of a 10TB RAID volume is within the limits, but not sure if that works with the default kernel or if it needs to be patched
[14:13] <xiownthisplacex> i did this already in terminal date mmddHHMMYYyy but when i create a folder, it still has an hour more :s how do i fiz this
[14:13] <zupb> Jack_Sparrow, i delete file from /var/tmp, for exaple, not from partion
[14:13] <Jack_Sparrow> zupb yes but that folder directory is on an ext3 partition.
[14:14] <Jack_Sparrow> xiownthisplacex Would an example of how I use time in a filename help?
[14:14] <giedz> hello... does anyone now why nautilus creates folder with permission rwxr-xr-x eventhough umask is set in .gnomerc on 0002?

[14:15] <zupb> Jack_Sparrow, i don't remember :( how i can see it? :)
[14:15] <dns53> Aborym i would expect it to be fine like i said i have a 1.5 ext3 storage drive so it should be fine untill you get to petabytes or exabytes
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ SO you do have a hard drive and you did install it with the livecd and now the live cd wont work..
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> zupb how did you delete the file?

[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> zupb there are two trash cans.. one for user and one while you are root user

[14:17] <zupb> mighting commander
[14:17] <home_> Jack_Sparrow: naww i am preforming fsck like every day dunno why and i was thinking to boot it from a live cd to see if i have problems with my HD

[14:21] <seyed-mehdi> does anyone has any problem with opening https pages ?
[14:21] <bee> I've got $10 via Paypal to the person who solves my php5-sybase problem.
[14:22] <dns53> seyed-mehdi normal http pages work fine? any other services effected?
[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ you can restart mouse with sudo modprobe -r psmouse ; sudo modprobe psmouse   but there is more going on
[14:22] <dlozarie> The Firefox-closes-when-I-close-gmail-tab problem is still there. anyone got any solutions? :D
[14:22] <element> hi everyone
[14:22] <Lunar_Lamp> dlozarie: not that I'm aware of.
[14:22] <seyed-mehdi> dns53: yeah, i dont have any problem with normal http
[14:22] <element> anybody know why when i play youtube, the rhytbox crash?
[14:22] <DSpair> bee: You should probably take that question to a PHP channel.
[14:22] <m1r> dlozarie: tryed log out of gmail ?
[14:22] <gordonjcp> element: because youtube uses flash, and flash sucks and is broken
[14:22] <home_> Jack_Sparrow: but my keyboard isnt working to
[14:22] <seyed-mehdi> dns53: but none of https !
[14:23] <home_> Jack_Sparrow: and my nim lock button isnt working
[14:23] <element> gordonjcp: and how can i fix it
[14:23] <DSpair> bee: Join #php and I will help you there.
[14:23] <bee> DSpair, that is one option.  But I did not have this connection problem prior to my 7.10 to 8.04 upgrade.
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> xiownthisplacex If you want to include seconds there is a different code..
[14:23] <bee> So I suspect it is an Ubuntu configuration issue.
[14:23] <gordonjcp> element: close rhythmbox before going to youtube
[14:23] <xiownthisplacex> not seconds
[14:23] <dlozarie> m1r, I really don't want to log out of Gmail, so that's not an option. :)
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ Basic information to help us help you: Which distro/release are you using, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc?
[14:23] <xiownthisplacex> what i mean is that it gives me an hour later
[14:23] <dns53> seyed-mehdi you working at a company? perhaps they have a firewall blocking https traffic. is it restricted to a single page or any https page?
[14:23] <m1r> dlozarie: just for test *
[14:23] <gordonjcp> element: and pester Adobe to bring flash kicking and screaming into the 21st century
[14:24] <element> i wasnt open the rhythmbox after play youtube
[14:24] <AlexCONRAD> hi, does anyone have experience with .desktop files ? (desktop entries) I'm having an issue when an autostarted application doesn't seem to take in account the Path=/foo/bar key I've set in my file... ideas?
[14:24] <xiownthisplacex> it is currentl 14:23 and when i create a folder, it says 15:23
[14:24] <wire0> guys whats the bash command for checking network transfer rates when youre downloading/uploading? I have a gui but i prefer console
[14:24] <db92> how to improve video playback quality?
[14:24] <seyed-mehdi> dns53: no I'm at home and can browse https by Windows,
[14:24] <dlozarie> m1r, okay, I'll try it out now. Although I've found a bug article on the Ubuntu forums about it. tnx.
[14:24] <choudesh> wire0, I always use either iftop or cbm
[14:24] <seyed-mehdi> dns53: but in ubunu I cant since I've installed Hardy
[14:24] <element> gordonjcp: i was watching youtube only, then i close youtube and when i opened the rhythmbox ...i cant play the music
[14:24] <Jeruvy> ok, /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwraggerMRC420CN Failed. how can I fix this?
[14:25] <Bert_2> Hi, I'm doing a bash script with zenity and I want to ask the user a question and then check whether he said yes or no, how do I do that ?
[14:25] <gordonjcp> element: close firefox completely, it still has grabbed the soundcard
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> xiownthisplacex ah..  sounds like a user or time zone issue or daylight savings thing.. no I dont know what to do with that right now.. still waking up here
[14:25] <choudesh> Bert_2, Please look that up on google
[14:25] <xiownthisplacex> lol ok
[14:25] <prada> ubuntu is really starting to piss me off
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Bert_2 /join #bash
[14:25] <element> gordonjcp: ok let me try
[14:25] <redas> hi
[14:25] <home_> Jack_Sparrow:  ubuntu 8.04, no, dunno what is that yes no novirtual machine and i dont have windows just ubuntu
[14:25] <gordonjcp> element: Flash uses an old way of dealing with sound that makes it insist on being the only thing using the card
[14:25] <xiownthisplacex> i already did tzselect
[14:25] <dns53> seyed-mehdi well it perhaps is related to the ssl random number generator problem,    anyone here have any more ideas?
[14:25] <choudesh> prada, what seems to be the issue?
[14:25] <Bert_2> choudesh: tried, but they all say --question does that but it doesn't return anything
[14:25] <rick111> CHEEKY CHOPS
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ what all have you installed or added or changed
[14:25] <wire0> thanks choudesh, I tried iftop but it couldnt get my ip, but cbam did thanks
[14:25] <element> gordonjcp: but that really sux
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> rick111 please dont
[14:26] <gordonjcp> element: that's flash for you
[14:26] <dlozarie> m1r, FF3 doesn't crash anymore when I close the Gmail tab after log-out, so it must be something in the Gmail scripts, right?
[14:26] <element> gordonjcp: lol, theres a way to fix it?
[14:26] <choudesh> Bert_2, http://www.google.com/search?q=bash+user+input&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[14:26] <seyed-mehdi> dns53: whats that "ssl random number gererator" ?
[14:26] <gordonjcp> element: pester Adobe to bring flash up to date, and not use an API that's been dead for ten years
[14:27] <Bert_2> choudesh: that's for basic bash, not bash with a zenity front-end, I'm asking how to handle zenity not bash
[14:27] <element> gordonjcp: thx im playing music right now
[14:27] <home_> Jack_Sparrow: some few programs theme icons visual effects thats all
[14:27] <choudesh> Bert_2, it is similiar to g_dialog
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Bert_2 What you are asking is beyond the scope of ubuntu support
[14:27] <Bert_2> Jack_Sparrow: okey, I'm sorry
[14:27] <prada> whenever i decide to into using grub...dual booting i get this F******* grub 17 error everytime
[14:27] <home_> Jack_Sparrow: not ant major settings like sorce or smt like that
[14:28] <dlozarie> oh, and with regards to that earlier complaint about not being able to access any https pages, https://mail.google.com works fine. :D
[14:28] <dns53> seyed-mehdi the randomness of ssl keys was not that random, i'm not an expert and it is only a guess
[14:28] <gordonjcp> element: cool
[14:28] <gordonjcp> element: it's a PITA but that's how things are right now...
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> home_ you could have a failing hard drive...  just not enough info to tell.
[14:28] <element> gordonjcp: but..i dont understand who can i fix it
[14:28] <choudesh> Bert_2, input=$(zenity --text "What you like to call the GDM Login screen?" --entry
[14:28] <home_> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[14:28] <seyed-mehdi> dns53: thx alot 4 ur info, do u know how can I fix my prob ?
[14:28] <choudesh> Bert_2, it takes two seconds with google and man pages
[14:28] <element> gordonjcp:  i wanna play youtube and i wanna play music at the same time
[14:29] <prada> its's crap
[14:29] <home_> Jack_Sparrow: i will miss my bus must go ta-ta
[14:29] <Bert_2> choudesh: sorry I overlooked it then, excuse me
[14:29] <gordonjcp> element: only Adobe can fix it, unless someone writes a thing that somehow intercepts Flash's attempt to grab sound
[14:29] <m1r> cant boot into ubuntu , grub reports error 17 , any tips how to fix this ?
[14:29] <seyed-mehdi> dns53: I'd googled but didnt find anything useful
[14:29] <dns53> seyed-mehdi unfortunatly no i'm just guessing that is the problem
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> element look into this..Basic information to help us help you: Which distro/release are you using, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc?
[14:29] <element> gordonjcp: lets kill the adobe programers lol
[14:29] <jatt> when I do select Help->Contents I get:
[14:29] <jatt> There was an error displaying help: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location.
[14:29] <jatt> Which package should I install to get the help.
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> element hold on
[14:29] <choudesh> Bert_2, No problem. But if you can get a good answer out of a specfic channel (bash) then use google. Its only 9am on the east coast. ;-)
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> element http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/firefox-crashing-on-youtube-in-ubuntu.html  Lets you use pulseaudio for flash (which lets you have audio in flash without having to close other programs using audio first.) and it prevents flash from ever crashing firefox.
[14:30] <jatt> (I tested with the gnome-terminal application)
[14:30] <element> thx jack
[14:30] <element> Jack_Sparrow: thx
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> element np sorry for the other paste.. working with one snoggerd up finger today
[14:30] <element> i really love this chanel
[14:30] <element> ubuntu rulez
[14:31] <jatt> yes
[14:31] <prada> seems i'm not the only one
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> jatt what program are you trying to get help with and are you running gnome or kde
[14:31] <dlozarie> anyone know how to get to firefox live chat support?
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> dlozarie I assume that is one busy place..
[14:32] <dns53> dlozarie chatzilla?
[14:32] <jatt> Jack_Sparrow: I am running gnome (Ubuntu Dapper). I open the gnome-terminal and then press F1 (or use the Help->Contents menu).
[14:32] <element> Jack_Sparrow, gordonjcp: thx very much dudes
[14:32] <choudesh> prada, what file system are you using?
[14:32] <dlozarie> @dns53, how do I get there? :)
[14:32] <element> Jack_Sparrow, gordonjcp: cya guys
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> element let us konw if that works out for you
[14:32] <element> Jack_Sparrow, gordonjcp: i gtg to work

[14:33] <gambi> hi, i try to install ubuntu server on already partitioned and formated disk (with fdisk) but somehow i'm not able to select any of my partitions in the installer. only the erase all option is available. how can i manually set the root partition?
[14:33] <choudesh> prada, why are you going to have to take your computer apart if it is only grub?
[14:34] <jatt> (I'm installing yelp lets see if it the help works better)
[14:34] <webvictim> grub nub!
[14:34] <Jack_Sparrow> gambi is this a raid setup?
[14:34] <webvictim> :P
[14:34] <m1r>  i get grub boot error 17 , and from what i heave read that it can determine filesystem on disk i am trying to boot, how can i make grub aware is ext3 ?
[14:34] <dns53> dlozarie to install or use? to use you need to enter a protocol like irc://server
[14:34] <gambi> Jack_Sparrow: nope, just one ata disk
[14:34] <jatt> hm. that solved the problem: install yelp
[14:34] <webvictim> error 17 generally means that it can't find the disk where /boot is located
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> gambi I have not used the server install but there should be a manula partition setup
[14:35] <jlw> How do I reload my window manager? I cant click the menus or show desktop, though I can  use alt + f1
[14:35] <m1r> webvictim: from what i read it cant understand FS
[14:35] <webvictim> jlw: gnome or KDE?
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r Are you running live cd on that box now
[14:35] <jlw> gnome
[14:35] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: no
[14:35] <webvictim> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[14:35] <gambi> Jack_Sparrow: well there is one. but it's unfortunatly filled with only one option :(
[14:36] <gambi> erase all ...
[14:36] <webvictim> if you can get to a terminal, kloseline
[14:36] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: i start it now
[14:36] <webvictim> oops, jlw
[14:36] <webvictim> i guess that worked then :P
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> jlw Did you just lose the top bar or open windows.. the minimize max and close buttons etc?
[14:37] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: loading livecd on that machine
[14:37] <webvictim> Jack_Sparrow: he just disconnected i think
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> webvictim compiz --replace   or metacity --replace

[14:40] <adante> hi just confirming, there is no graphical dual screen configurator for ubuntu yet right?
[14:41] <choudesh> adante, there is one if you use nvidia
[14:41] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: livecd booted
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r sudo fdisk -l
[14:42] <Jaffarkelshac> i thought the displayconfig-gtk was for that but dont have dual monitor to check
[14:42] <choudesh> Jaffarkelshac, actually you are right.
[14:42] <webvictim> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, true :P
[14:42] <choudesh> Jaffarkelshac, displayconfig-gtk does have one now
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Jeruvy did you check the list of supported hardware to make sure your printer was in there and if people were having problems
[14:42] <adante> i'll take a look for that, thanks guys!
[14:42] <filthpig> adante, yes there is? I guess it's under system - administration - screens and graphics?
[14:42] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: /dev/sdb1 boot*
[14:42] <adante> filthpig: i do not have that option, do you know what package installs it?
[14:43] <filthpig> adante, maybe under preferences?
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r Please state your question again for me
[14:43] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: grub error 17
[14:43] <Jeruvy> Jack_Sparrow: well I'm not sure, the drivers are official for hardy, they install fine, but they do not print and I encounter another error with the doc queue as noted.
[14:43] <adante> filthpig: i have an option for screen resolution but that shows a single monitor
[14:43] <filthpig> hmm
[14:43] <Invader> how do I check whether my wireless pc card driver is installed correct or not?
[14:43] <filthpig> adante, which gfx card do you have?
[14:44] <Jaffarkelshac> are you using live cd now?
[14:44] <prada> yeah ! sure do! grub messed up my computer AGAIN with the grub 17 error... how else can i say it Jack_Sparrow
[14:44] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r SIngle drive?  not an external etc
[14:44] <adante> filthpig: quadro fx 570m
[14:44] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: 2 drives , 1st XP , 2nd ubuntu
[14:44] <Jack_Sparrow> prada Tone it down
[14:44] <generic>  What are the softwares use for private/secure file sharing in Ubuntu??
[14:45] <dns53> Invader if you have the device shown under network manager it is probably working
[14:45] <CoronaBW> How can I tell if Ubuntu is having problems with my RAID controller?
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r Did you install windows after ubuntu and where did you install grub  mbr of first disk
[14:45] <prada> i'm tired of taking my computer apart
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> prada are you mixing sata and ide drives
[14:46] <filthpig> adante, ah, then nvidia-settings should do the trick. try sudo nvidia-settings (and hit tab for alternatives, I don't remember exactly the name of the command). That's a nice tool to use, it fixed my dual monitor problems, at least
[14:46] <prada> yes i installed windows first
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> prada are you mixing sata and ide drives
[14:46] <choudesh> Jack_Sparrow, m1r, prada, this usually only occures if there you are trying to boot grub on a unsupported filesystem (ntfs, reiserfs/patched, ...). Another issue is device.map and SCSI vs IDE in the BIOS
[14:46] <prada> yes...maybe
[14:47] <Dbproguy> Hey is that thing where you can install Ubuntu inside Windows any good?
[14:47] <Dbproguy> Like is it faster if you do otherwise?
[14:47] <Sysctl> hey folks. i think theres something wrong with Xen on ubuntu server 8.04
[14:47] <bobbob1016> I burned a video DVD, and I don't think it was finalized since it isn't read by PC's without a DVD-RW.  Is there a way I can finalize it?
[14:47] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: xp is there for years , ubuntu was instaled fresh b4 few days on 2nd hdd (64bit) , for grub i think is installed on 1st HD (xp one)
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> prada are you mixing sata and ide drives           do you understand the question?  and how to know
[14:47] <choudesh> Jack_Sparrow, I would suggest these people boot off the live cd and run grub-install --recheck
[14:47] <dns53> Dbproguy it is called wubi and comes on the normal live cd, just insert it while running windows and it will come up
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> choudesh there is an issue when people mix ide and sata...  the drive mapping keeps switching on them
[14:48] <m1r> choudesh , Jack_Sparrow , both my drives are sata
[14:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Dbproguy In my opinion.. no. I wont use or recommend it
[14:48] <choudesh> Jack_Sparrow, I know. I have similiar issue - but when I shut down I have script that runs grub-install
[14:48] <Sysctl> it seems to hang faily easily, to the point that doing long operations  on mysql evenutally lose connection... never seen that before on debian
[14:48] <dns53> Dbproguy it should work fine but you have a layer siting between your files and the file system so it can be slower and does not work well if your drive is fragmented
[14:48] <Dbproguy> dns53, yea I know I already tried that, I'm just wondering if it can go faster
[14:49] <gozippycmc> #puppet
[14:49] <choudesh> Jack_Sparrow, I really think the issue is fake-raid controllers
[14:49] <prada> csn you pm me because i cant even reac what you are typing since i'm on palm pilot
[14:49] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone having a problem with COmpiz? it messes up my screen so bad I have to reboot.
[14:49] <Invader> dns53: Sorry to ask - is the network manager = system -> Administration -> Network? If yes, then I've got two wireless connections - should I set them to roam-mode or configurate them manually?
[14:49] <wire0> Sergeant_Pony: whats your command to start it? compiz -- replace?
[14:49] <choudesh> Jack_Sparrow, the fake-raid controller boot up with min. firmware emulating an IDE device - but once inside the OS - they load the software raid driver
[14:49] <Dbproguy> dns53 I had already tried partitioning my drive and dual-booting windows and ubuntu but my computer doesn't like partitioning drives, the main partition is locked and is taking up the entire hard drive.
[14:50] <Sergeant_Pony> not sure... where do I lok at the command?
[14:50] <Invader> dns53: It's a WPA2 PSK protected lan
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Dbproguy You cant resize a mounted drive
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Dbproguy look into the gparted livecd
[14:51] <Dbproguy> Jack_Sparrow: What can I do then?
[14:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !gparted
[14:51] <DSpair> Jack_Sparrow, that's not exactly true... If you are using LVM2 it is possible to extend a partition.
[14:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Dbproguy 50 meg download and a handy tool to have around
[14:51] <dns53> Invader i was thinking more about the icon in the system tray, it looks like you have the drivers working atleast and i don't know your network, give everything a try
[14:51] <Dbproguy> Jack_Sparrow: Okay, thanks!
[14:51] <adante> hrm ok so i can't use nvidia-settings to configure for xinerama?
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> DSpair I base help on standard installs not one of the many different ways people modify it
[14:52] <prada> Jack_Sparrowe everthing you typed to me ..i couldn't read
[14:52] <DSpair> Jack_Sparrow, Understandable. But LVM2 is standard on Ubuntu server...
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> prada are you mixing sata and ide drives           do you understand the question?  and how to know check
[14:53] <wire0> Sergeant_Pony: try compiz --replace in console
[14:53] <Jack_Sparrow> DSpair if he could not resize it..  he was not running server lvm2
[14:53] <DSpair> Jack_Sparrow, Good point.
[14:53] <dns53> nudges Jack_Sparrow about resize2fs for resizing ext3 drives
[14:53] <Invader> dns53: At the network manager in system tray, only the wired connection can be enabled - the wireless cannot... Any suggestion?
[14:53] <Jeruvy> Brother printer installed drivers, not printing docs.  Document shows in spool as status 'stopped'  generates error reported in bug# 137984.  How do I print?
[14:53]  * DSpair is not the only one picking on Jack..
[14:53] <DSpair> :)
[14:53] <Jack_Sparrow> dns53 not while they are mounted in a live session
[14:54] <harris>  /swap , /root..... /what's the other one???????? I forgot
[14:54] <Jack_Sparrow> harris .home
[14:54] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, your Brother printer comes with Linux drivers?
[14:54] <zupb> guys, where i can find a trash for mighting commander?
[14:54]  * DSpair likes Brother printers...
[14:54] <Dbproguy> Jack_Sparrow: If GParted is only 50 meg can I just stick it on my USB Flashdrive and boot from that?
[14:54] <dns53> Jack_Sparrow yes they can, i did it yesterday but that is a little off topic
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> dns53 You should not resize a mounted partition..
[14:55] <Sergeant_Pony> wireg I got nothing but errors
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Dbproguy more trouble than it is worth
[14:55] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: devices /sda1 and /sdb1 have marked boot * sign with fdisk -l
[14:56] <Jack_Sparrow> dns53 show me a tutorial where it suggests that it is a good idea.
[14:56] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r sorry to leave you in the middle of that.
[14:56] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: I used the ones 'official' from hardy multiverse
[14:56] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: no problem , i see u very busy ;) i wait
[14:57] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, and you installed them properly and without incident, yes?
[14:57] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r you need to install grub to mbr of the drive that the bios boots.. normally sda but some bios allow you to boot sdb
[14:57] <Dbproguy> Wow I love Ubuntu already, I don't know if it's just the server's I'm downloading from but my download speeds are just about always 10-20% better than what I got with Windows
[14:57] <LordOllie> Anyone here use netbeans and have it hang on "creating new project"?
[14:57] <dlozarie> Is there a Linux program similar to CCleaner for Windows?
[14:58] <bebobli2> I have GSNES9x, and ZSNES. The first does not properly use my joystick. No matter how I set it there is no reaction. It seems to be aware of the controller yet as I said the games do not react. ZSNES is unable to play sound. No clue why, every other application seems to be dandy with sound aside from flash of course.
[14:58] <hp2133> dlozarie: what does CCleaner do?
[14:58] <NickGarvey> dlozarie: shred
[14:58] <NickGarvey> oh nope
[14:58] <NickGarvey> dlozarie: not shred
[14:58] <Li-Plu1> The nvidia drivers have failed to install this is the log from the installation. http://rafb.net/p/MWGxTc97.html
[14:58] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: i guess i can do that from livecd , but i dont know how
[14:58] <NickGarvey> dlozarie: there is no registry in linux, thus no need for ccleaner
[14:59] <NickGarvey> oh it does have file erasing too
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> m1r Since I am busy .. you can read the grub tutorial...
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[14:59] <dlozarie> @NickGarvey, I see. :D
[14:59] <m1r> tnx Jack_Sparrow , i check it out
[15:00] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: yes, they show in printer ok.  Print a test page, sends job to queue.  Job status is 'stopped'?

[15:02] <Aborym> VenkateshH-lapto, amsn maybe?
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> X-tremAl_Raven double click the volume icon and run the pcm all the way down and back up.. that seems to take care of some
[15:02] <bensimon> yes ?
[15:02] <Cheesypieces> Jack_Sparrow: yes, I have - it just shows a grey box where the video should be
[15:02] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: its been open a while...
[15:02] <VenkateshH-lapto> does that work?
[15:02] <VenkateshH-lapto> let me try that
[15:02] <VenkateshH-lapto> i tried openwengo
[15:02] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, have you tried printing a test document in OpenOffice.org?
[15:02] <VenkateshH-lapto> but my webcam is not detected
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Cheesypieces flash from our repos, not from inside firefox
[15:03] <VenkateshH-lapto> and i am sure everyone knows the problems with skype!
[15:03] <Dmole> hey ubuntuers I use ubuntu for my FLAC music collection  and am looking for a new amp I thought this might help us help us :) : http://internet.wikia.com/wiki/Amplifier_Comparison
[15:03] <Jevon> is there a way to use the ubuntu/kubuntu CDs as a recovery disk, replacing the base filesystem of a drive without deleting all my specific files on my username?
[15:03] <Aborym> VenkateshH-lapto: Did you install your webcam drivers?
[15:03] <VenkateshH-lapto> yes i did
[15:03] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: no, only in printer configuration
[15:03] <Cheesypieces> Jack_Sparrow: i got it from synaptic...
[15:03] <VenkateshH-lapto> the webcam works on skype
[15:03] <ParanoyaM> Does anybody know why i have no sound in any browser, in system i has sound?
[15:03] <VenkateshH-lapto> i have audio issue there..
[15:03] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, could you try printing from OpenOffice then? Just to check. :)
[15:03] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: I did attempt to print a text doc and a web page, same results
 What kind of joke is that?
[15:03] <VenkateshH-lapto> i'll give amsn a try then
[15:04] <VenkateshH-lapto> @Aborym, thanks!
[15:04] <adante> howdy - anybody had any luck force mounting an ntfs volume?
[15:04] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: I do not have oo on this box.
[15:05] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, okay.
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> X-tremAl_Raven you will need to be more specific, certain people seem to want to waste my time this am
[15:05] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, hmm. any suspicions as to what may be causing the problem? Maybe that could help. :)
[15:06] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: other than brother is a pita?  not really... :)
 Ubunto 8.04. Some packets were upgraded and upgrade manager said that it needed to restart. Now I'm not able to change the CPU frequency and got no WiFi at all.
[15:06] <X-tremAl_Raven> *Ubuntu
[15:06] <Li-Plu1> would somebody spare a moment to help me, nvidia drivers are failing to build and this is the log from the failed attempt http://rafb.net/p/MWGxTc97.html
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> X-tremAl_Raven ah..  understood...
[15:06] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, LOL. Anyway what printer model do you have?
 Thought if this was caused by some of the upgraded packets - then I must not be the first one to have that problem.
[15:07] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: mfc420cn
[15:07] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, wow, that's what Brother calls their printers? hmm. okay, I'm googling around. :)
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> X-tremAl_Raven any changes in your sources list that may have added to the problem
[15:08] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: been there all day yesterday.  Talked to brother support, talked to the printer repair guy down the street.  Either the printer communication is fried (I really doubt since I can talk to it and XSANE works)
[15:09] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, I found this in the Ubuntu forums: "I'm currently using the 32-bit driver for the Brother MFC420CN on my 64-bit system. That required first installing the csh package, then installing the driver debs with "--force-architecture." If you want yours to run on AMD64, it might be worth a try."
[15:09] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: or ubuntu has a bug
[15:09] <R2LM> Does anyone know a good video player for .swf videos (not .flv)?
[15:09] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: its a P3 :)
 Third-party: http://ppa.launchpad.net/robvdl/ubuntu - I use it as the latest django repository
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> X-tremAl_Raven yep.. that would do it..
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> X-tremAl_Raven launchpad bit a few people yesterday
[15:11] <Prodoc> good afternoon
[15:11] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, oh, okay. I don't think your printer communication's fried; must be a driver/incompatibility problem, and perhaps a bug in Ubuntu. Which version are you on, btw? Hardy?
[15:12] <otsman>  i'm wondering if any taskserver exists for linux, i don't know if such software solution exists in any platform but probably there is. i' need something like rememberthemilk.com but shared by departments, any idea?
[15:12] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: yes
[15:13] <Linux_> ciao
[15:13] <Prodoc> I had the medibuntu repository included in the software sources for a while but now I've disabled it. There is, however, still a release from that source included in the update manager. I don't want to install it but I can't seem to find a way to remove it. How can this be done?
[15:13] <ne2k__> what's the best way to reinstall the version of openoffice that comes with standard ubuntu? something got corrupted with openoffice so I removed it altogether, but when I reinstalled teh package openoffice.org, I get a different theme and it doesn't work with SMB shares
[15:13] <Guest16777> cacchio ragazzi e troppo un casino
[15:14] <ne2k__> Guest16777: oh yes, absolutely
[15:14] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, have you taken a look at this page? http://is.gd/C6o
[15:14] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: problem is I need a solution, I can't wait 5-18 months for a bug fix....this driver package for brother-lpr was supposed to be it.  Since it does work but the job hangs, I'm guessing another issue is at hand, namely the job queue (or whatever its really called)
[15:15] <dns53> ne2k__ you may need  openoffice.org-gnome to be able to use the gnome vfs for smb shares
[15:15] <dlozarie> @Jeruvy, could be, but then again I'm afraid I can't say for sure.
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Jeruvy what make and model of brother printer
[15:15] <dlozarie> @Jack_Sparrow, he's on mfc420cn
[15:16] <dlozarie> or he has a Brother mfc420cn printer, I should say.
[15:16] <SpookyET> Suspend/hibernate still does not work for me in Hardy
[15:17] <ne2k__> dns53: something's really broken with openoffice

[15:17] <cojack> klient / client
[15:17] <Jevon> is there a way to use the ubuntu/kubuntu CDs as a recovery disk, replacing the base filesystem of a drive without deleting all my specific files on my username?
[15:17] <Jeruvy> dlozarie: that is a dated package and does not work on hardy.  This is the one I refered from:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/25966
[15:17] <cojack> how to make to open file from ftp in konqueror to run one quanta?
[15:18] <cojack> and if I open next file I open next quanta...
[15:18] <cojack> how to change it?

[15:19] <craigbass1976> Anyone know of a construction calculator for ubuntu?  I didn't see any in the repos, and can't find anything on sourceforge either.
[15:19] <dns53> darklingduck you need to remove the old packages with synaptic/aptitude/apt
[15:20] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: still same error after following livecd part of that guide ...
[15:20] <darklingduck> Genii:  Whatever the default for Ubuntu is......lol
[15:20] <genii> darklingduck: In that case, grub and not lilo
[15:21] <genii> darklingduck: As dns53 says then, to just remove the ones you don't want by uninstalling them, it will auto clean up the grub file

[15:24] <genii> darklingduck: For instance if you wanted to remove the 2.6.24-17 entry there, in Synaptic Package Manager remove the package linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic   (unless you have 64 bit in which case the -generic part is named differently, etc)
[15:25] <dns53> jtaby even better, put that in, it gives you a recovery option, get it to mount your drive and give you a terminal, once there just run 'passwd username'

[15:28] <doubled> Jax0x: the interfaces i think
[15:28] <jtaby> dns53, "rescue a broken system"?
[15:28] <Jax0x> is that it, whats the best one in your opinion?
[15:28] <saint-takeshi> jax0x: different desktop environments
[15:28] <m1r> ubuntu dont boot , GRUB error 17 , any help appriciated
[15:29] <doubled> ubuntu = gnome as far as a i know, kubuntu = kde , xubuntu = i dont know,  and edubuntu is a interface specifically for education
[15:29] <spideyman> Jax0x, go here http://www.ubuntu.com/
[15:29] <doubled> mlr, i can help you with that
[15:29] <dns53> jtaby yes
[15:29] <m1r> doubled: yes please
[15:29] <doubled> i had it myself as well
[15:29] <saint-takeshi> jax0x: depends what you want from it
[15:29] <tschaka> Jax0x xubuntu uses xfce, a light weight window manager.
[15:29] <doubled> mlr: most likely you are using sata drive to install it on ?
[15:29] <jtaby> dns53, which should i use as a root file system? sda1, 2 or 5?
[15:30] <m1r> doubled: yes, 2 HDD's 1st with win XP and 2nd with ubuntu
[15:30] <Nathan406> Hello ppls!
[15:30] <Kartagis> hoşçakalın / bye
[15:30] <dns53> jtaby i don't know, try one, if that does not work reboot and try the other one
[15:30] <nictimju> can anyone help me find the necessary drivers to make a Sony V-Gear vidcam work?
[15:30] <Li-Plu1> how do I reconfigure my x server
[15:30] <Jax0x> I have a iMac g3 and want to install ubuntu on it, but whenever i put the disc in it boots straight into os x.
[15:30] <Az> grub seems to be ok, i can boot all the previous kernels etc that i could before... but ubuntu just hangs... looking at the log it freezes on loading up the hardware
[15:31] <Li-Plu1> anybody?
[15:31] <jtaby> dns53, it says "unknown user jtaby"
[15:31] <m1r> Li-Plu1: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[15:31] <nictimju> Li-Plu1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:31] <dns53> m1r you can occasinally have problems if your kernel is too far deep in the drive, having a /boot partition helps this
[15:31] <nictimju> ping jarrick
[15:31] <dns53> Li-Plu1 dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:31] <Az> the only directories i excluded from my file system backup script were /proc /sys /media /mnt /lost+found /dev
[15:32] <Az> iirc
[15:32] <m1r> dns53: it is already working system installed all by deafult without /boot :/
[15:32] <nictimju> anyone in the know for vidcams
[15:32] <Jax0x>  I have a iMac g3 and want to install ubuntu on it, but whenever i put the disc in it boots straight into os x.

[15:33] <idefix> what's wrong, can anyone help?
[15:33] <nictimju> lsusb doesn't show it up
[15:33] <nictimju> idefix: it should not be vfat
[15:33] <m1r> Li-Plu1: u can change drivers there , not video card
[15:33] <dns53> Li-Plu1 run nvidia-xconfig
[15:33] <nictimju> idefix: what is yuor cdrom?
[15:33] <idefix> an SUS 36x

[15:34] <idefix> no medium found
[15:35] <nictimju> or did you put in a dvd?
[15:35] <nictimju> did you put in a dvd?
[15:35] <idefix> no a CD
[15:35] <nictimju> what is on the CD do you know?
[15:35] <jtaby> dns53, i couldn't find it
[15:35] <idefix> just some documents
[15:36] <idefix> nictimju whatever CD I put in, nothing works
[15:36] <nictimju> yeah but what format iso9660, or what
[15:36] <LimCore> is there one working music player in ubuntu?
[15:36] <gordonjcp> LimCore: yes
[15:36] <nictimju> do you have any settings in /etc/fstab
[15:36] <LimCore> gordonjcp: which one?
[15:36] <gordonjcp> LimCore: there are several, in fact
[15:36] <LimCore> oh, a GUI one
[15:36] <LimCore> gordonjcp: tell me one that really works
[15:36] <jon_high9000> is there any particular recommended PPA on Launchpad.net that is recommended for putting into the Software Sources Section?
[15:36] <dns53> jtaby did you get it to chroot to your partition or is it still in the installer partition?
[15:36] <gordonjcp> LimCore: well, it comes with rhythmbox, that's pretty good
[15:36] <anish> hello
[15:36] <LimCore> gordonjcp: skips sound
[15:37] <jtaby> dns53, i got a shell with one of the filesystems mounted
[15:37] <jtaby> and it put me in /
[15:37] <idefix> there is no entry for CDROM in my fstab
[15:37] <LimCore> gordonjcp: skips sond while I move between windows, on dual core amd 2400+
[15:37] <aantn> what's the package for the gnash firefox plugin?
[15:37] <gordonjcp> LimCore: then you've got a faulty soundcard
[15:37] <thierry> hiphop
[15:37] <dns53> jtaby run mount to see what is mounted, i think you need to run chroot /mnt or something like that first
[15:37] <LimCore> gordonjcp: other players play witohut such skips
[15:37] <nictimju> did you make a directory in /media ?
[15:38] <gordonjcp> LimCore: hm, maybe you've got some weird setting then
[15:38] <idefix> nictimju? there is an entry for CDROm, it says udf,iso9660 user, noauto
[15:38] <LimCore> gordonjcp: nope
[15:38] <jcaspe> i want my ubuntu to look like vista. is there anyway? dont hate me for this. i just want to show my colligues how powerful ubuntu can be.
[15:38] <SpookyET> Why does Synaptic show show me kernel 2.24.18 for x86_64 as an upgrade on i386?
[15:38] <s_spiff> jcaspe: why not try Futurelooks pack..
[15:39] <gordonjcp> LimCore: for reference, I'm using Hardy with no particular tweaks, on a celeron 1400, which is running a Django dev environment, compiling stuff with gcc, and has firefox and gedit open, with no skips at all
[15:39] <gordonjcp> LimCore: oh, and I'm on battery at the moment so it's probably running at 800MHz
[15:39] <tiger> Hi I have an Intel ICH7 High Def Soundcard that worked on Ubuntu Gutsy but since I've upgraded it to Hardy it gives a gstreamer device and/or codec error can anybody please help me?
[15:39] <nictimju> idefix what ver of linux u using
[15:39] <jcaspe> s_spiff: is it available at synaptic?
[15:39] <tiger> No sound
[15:39] <s_spiff> jcaspe: nopes. wait.. will get you the link
[15:39] <gordonjcp> LimCore: you could also try audacious, that's basically the modern equivalent of xmms
[15:39] <idefix> nictimju very old 2.6.15-29-386
[15:39] <spideyman> jcaspe, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-make-ubuntu-look-like-windows-vista.html
[15:39] <dns53> SpookyET no, you need to install the 64 bit version they are too seperate as you need all the libraries to be 64 bit, note that 32 bit applications can run on a 64 bit kernel but not the other way around
[15:40] <s_spiff> jcaspe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=796572&highlight=Futurelooks
[15:40] <LimCore> audacious have broken GUI
[15:40] <mudit> hi i was just going to re-install ubuntu hardy, well I want to keep a seperate partition for home directory, can someone guide me or get me tutorial
[15:40] <nictimju> that's ok
[15:40] <tiger> thanx
[15:40] <nictimju> can you paste the line from fstab here that shows the cdrom?
[15:40] <idefix> wierd, I tried mount 0t iso9660 .... and it losed my cdrom

[15:40] <jcaspe> thanks for the links guys...
[15:40] <nictimju> you have 2 cd ?
[15:40] <SpookyET> dns53: I know. I'm asking why Synaptic doesn't see that I have a i386 installation and offers 64bit paks
[15:41] <s_spiff> jcaspe: glad to help.
[15:41] <idefix> it closed my cdrom yet it said no medium

[15:41] <Lolo316> Hello, i'm frensh and i have a problem with imap, can you help me ?
[15:41] <nictimju> you have to first determine whether it is /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd
[15:41] <jtaby> `mount` returned a bunch of things i don't understand, `chroot /mnt` gave me an error
[15:41] <gordonjcp> LimCore: double-size doesn't work, but it is perfectly readable on my 1680x1050 monitor

[15:42] <idefix> wait
[15:42] <gordonjcp> LimCore: I'd close that bug wontfix/submitter needs new glasses
[15:42] <dns53> jtaby do not edit it directly, instead use the command line tools, useradd to create a new user, passwd <user> to set the password
[15:42] <nictimju> that's because you do not have a directory /media/hdd
[15:42] <LimCore> gordonjcp: the bug is that the Double function do not work

[15:42] <tiger> Hi I have an Intel ICH7 High Def Soundcard that worked on Ubuntu Gutsy but since I've upgraded it to Hardy it gives a gstreamer device and/or codec error can anybody please help me as i have absolutely no sound an did a search on all forums?
[15:42] <Mr_Cheeto> no wired
[15:42] <gordonjcp> LimCore: in fact just trying it at work, at 1920x1600 it's pretty much ok
[15:43] <mudit> slayton , i should a create new partition table ?
[15:43] <gordonjcp> LimCore: on my laptop at 1024x768 it's way too big
[15:43] <Mr_Cheeto> amenado, i'm in Kubuntu, the Kubuntu forums/chat are NO help
[15:43] <gordonjcp> LimCore: it looks like a nice easy bug to fix
[15:43] <SpookyET> E: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
[15:43] <nictimju> do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom
[15:43] <nictimju> any joy?
[15:43] <LimCore> gordonjcp: is the Double button doubling the gui for you?
[15:43] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> wifi? is the roaming mode enabled? i'd uncheck if it was me
[15:43] <SpookyET> I can't remove that package
[15:43] <SpookyET> weird
[15:43] <Mr_Cheeto> amenado i'm using wired
[15:43] <tiger> Hi I have an Intel ICH7 High Def Soundcard that worked on Ubuntu Gutsy but since I've upgraded it to Hardy it gives a gstreamer device and/or codec error can anybody please help me as i have absolutely no sound and did a search on all forums?
[15:43] <slayton> mudit, no necessarily
[15:43] <tuv> my toshiba tecra m8 freezes randomly. running latest ubuntu and up-to-date. logs show nothing. how do i debug the problem?
[15:43] <slayton> not
[15:43] <idefix> nictimju technically speaking it is a directory? what's the difference between whatever is in the /dev/ dir and in the /media/ dir?
[15:44] <LimCore> tuv: try is it possible to ssh into it while frozen etc
[15:44] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> wired? okay, what changes frequently? can you elaborate?
[15:44] <dns53> jtaby i think you are still using the installer as the root instead of your partition, try running   chroot /mnt/target or chroot /target
[15:44] <ninefold> What's the error say tiger?
[15:44] <jon_high9000> I see you folks are extremely busy so i try to check it myself. no hard feelings fellas.
[15:44] <idefix> none taken
[15:44] <slayton> mudit there are two ways to do this, 1- nuke partitions and create new one (Fast, Reliable). 2 - resize current partitions (much harder, slower, prone to errors)
[15:44] <idefix> nictimju?
[15:44] <tuv> LimCore, no.. that's how i knew it's frozen. does not even respond to pings
[15:44] <nictimju> note that /dev points to the physical device, /media/cdrom is the directory which points to it
[15:44] <aantn> found it: mozilla-plugin-gnash
[15:44] <tiger> gstreamer error: There is no gstreamer codec and/or device present.
[15:44] <Mr_Cheeto> amenado, for some reason out of nowhere it seems to contact some unknown DNS server and it pins me with some unkown and non-working IP, it does this all on it's own, is there some sort of refreshing/reseting tool i can dissable?
[15:44] <slayton> Mudit, I would recommend that you back up all your data to DVD's or something then just delete all your partitions and create new one
[15:45] <mudit> so creating a new partition table is better option !
[15:45] <LimCore> nictimju: such bugs are very hard to debug....  google for bugs in mobo/cpu/etc support,  and then perhaps file a bug... and perhaps ask LKML/kernel devles
[15:45] <jtaby> dns53, when i ran useradd, then passwd, and i tried to login, it said that it couldn't find a home directory (which is understandable)
[15:45] <nictimju> idefix: can you type in cdrecord and see what happens
[15:45] <spideyman> idefix is your cdrom in your fstab
[15:45] <ninefold> tiger, do you have gstreamer installed?
[15:46] <idefix> nictimju  cdrecord: No tracks specified. Need at least one.
[15:46] <tiger> yes

[15:46] <Kamaze> But in firther directorys it works
[15:46] <nictimju> ok, look at the messages what does it say there on the /dev, e.g. /dev/cdrw
[15:46] <ninefold> one sec...
[15:46] <idefix> spideyman no it is not
[15:46] <Kamaze> It doesn't work as user nor as root
[15:46] <tiger> last time i fixed it reinstalling alsa but i just want to know if there is any other way and why it happens...

[15:47] <spideyman> idefix did you try adding it
[15:47] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto what you claim is correct, in order to resolve ip addresses the client is referred to other name servers (which most you do not know) to resolve .

[15:48] <Myrtti> Lolo316: puhleeze
[15:48] <db92> keke, too bad that alsa still doesnt support x-fi cards >>
[15:48] <dns53> sirlark it needs to be able to load the kernel first, and then be able to load the software raid as it starts to boot, you need a /boot not in the raid or on a raid 0
[15:48] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> what you do you mean a new ip, a new ip address is assigned to your host? or you resolve a name like www.yahoo.com to diff ip addresses?
[15:49] <vorian> Lolo316: once is enough :)
[15:49] <mudit> slyton, how can i define the swap partition ?
[15:49] <tiger> Thanx anyway ninefold. Any idea where i can find help?

[15:49] <Lolo316> What ?
[15:49] <erUSUL> mudit: in fstab
[15:49] <Mr_Cheeto> amenado, i mean every 5 seconds it somehow assigns me a new IP, i have no idea where it comes from but it just happens
[15:49] <spideyman> idefix can you see it in terminal
[15:49] <Kamaze> Again: I can't create/edit files/folders as root nor as user in /var/www/default-host, i always get permission denied, even as root! And no, there is no immutable bit set
[15:50] <Lolo316> Hello, i'm frensh and i have a problem with imap, can you help me
[15:50] <erUSUL> Lolo316: just ask
[15:50] <idefix> spideyman? see what?
[15:50] <spideyman> the cd rom
[15:50] <idefix> you mean in GNOME? no.. :(
[15:50] <gordonjcp> db92: x-fi cards are terrible
[15:50] <ninefold> tiger, will absolutely NO sound play in anything?
[15:50] <erUSUL> Lolo316: are we supposed to figure out the problem or you are going to tell us??
[15:50] <spideyman> then its not mounting
[15:50] <db92> gordonjcp, thats too bad, thats the one i got >>
[15:50] <Mr_Cheeto> amenado, i'm in KDE
[15:50] <gordonjcp> db92: is it on-board?
[15:50] <erUSUL> db92: creative's fault they even do not have decent windows drivers
[15:50] <db92> gordonjcp, now instead of comments, i was mainly looking for support, i spose it should be impossible to use a mic then with oss? :P
[15:50] <tiger> None whatsoever ninefold
[15:51] <sirlark> roger: I think so... do I need to set up RAID in the bios to?
[15:51] <idefix> spideyman, it is not in GNOME or terminal, I do not know what terminal is
[15:51] <db92> erUSUL, windows drivers work pretty well for me, idno
[15:51] <gordonjcp> db92: in theory it should be ok, but nothing has supported OSS for a decade or so
[15:51] <db92> gordonjcp, no, its a normal x-fi extreme music

[15:51] <idefix> how can it be in there?
[15:51] <mudit> i mean wht size should be swap area ?
[15:52] <spideyman> idefix open terminal and cd to the directory
[15:52] <tiger> Ninefold immediately at startup there is an error message that says Gstreamer error. I'm going to try to reinstall ALSA now. Wish me luck.
[15:52] <sirlark> dns53: when you say not in the raid, do you mean not on the same physical drive?
[15:52] <idefix> spideyman how?

[15:52] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> can you paste in pastebin your  /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf  ?
[15:52] <erUSUL> Lolo316: i read it but i've never set up a webmail service so i dunno
[15:53] <Ayabara> I have the impression that my avi-vids look better in windows than in linux. could this be?
[15:53] <mudit> slayton, how big should be the swap area ?
[15:53] <Lolo316> erUSUL The problem is imap
[15:53] <spideyman> idefix i use kubuntu so mine is called konsole but you should see it in your sysytem programs
[15:53] <dns53> sirlark with raid 1 the files will be split between the drives, you need a kernel to boot, the kernel is distributed between the drives, grub does not know how to merge them together on it's own, instead create a /boot partition to store the kernel
[15:53] <Lolo316> erUSUL the port is locked
[15:53] <Myrtti> Lolo316: well do you have imap?
[15:53] <Mr_Cheeto> !pastebin

[15:55] <idefix> spideyman I use ubuntu, I don't have it
[15:55] <spideyman> idefix you do have a terminal program
[15:55] <idefix> xterm?
[15:55] <ne2k__> I can't work out what it's trying to lock and what it can't lock

[15:55] <Lolo316> Before he worked but now
[15:56] <X-tremAl_Raven> Ok. After the latest upgrade (already using Ubuntu 8.04 and till now it was fine) my WiFi doesn't work, I can't change CPU frequency and I can't control battery level of my laptop.
[15:56] <dns53> sirlark you basically have a chicken and the egg problem, you need the raid running to load the kernel, the kernel is not loaded to read the kernel files of disk, so you need this on another partition first
[15:56] <ne2k__> I also have no idea what I did to make it suddenly stop working
[15:56] <idefix> yes I just opened it
[15:56] <spideyman> idefix open it and cd to the /media directory
[15:56] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>;  <-- are these good name servers?

[15:57] <unicum> brb
[15:57] <idefix> I can see it spideyman
[15:57] <ne2k__> dns53: you can boot from another disk (say, live disk), then modify the initrd image on the hard disk to include the required module. I had to do that the first time I installed ubuntu. it was fun
[15:57] <Lolo316> Help me :'(
[15:57] <Mr_Cheeto> amenado yes
[15:57] <spideyman> ls to see whats in the directory
[15:57] <ne2k__> amenado: those are private IP addresses
[15:57] <erUSUL> Lolo316: it seems that noones is familiar with your problem ... try again later
[15:57] <legend2440> using Hardy and have a NEC Dvd writer.  it will burn cd-r,cdrw,dvd but not dvdrw's. when i type in terminal    sudo lshw | grep 'dvd'   it comes back with   logical name: /dev/dvd   and   capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r. it does not mention  dvdrw.  should it?

[15:58] <alexs_> ahar

[15:58] <ne2k__> how can my openoffice just have completely died?!
[15:59] <idefix> nothing in them at all
[15:59] <Tchatteur`> !none
[15:59] <sirlark> dns53: I took your advice earlier this afternoon, reinstalled, now have three partitions, a small boot unraided partition, and the / and swap partitions raided
[15:59] <dns53> sirlark, ne2k__ is right, you then need the raid driver, but i thaught that was included in the kernel
[15:59] <amenado> ne2k__-> so what if they are private ip addresses?
[15:59] <spideyman> idefix try mounting them one at a time
[15:59] <ne2k__> amenado: they're unlikely to be DNS servers
[15:59] <sirlark> it's like grub hasn't even installed to the MBR

[16:03] <eklof> Hi. I have problems setting up encrypted partitions during an alternate-install. It locks all the time at 47% when returning to the partition editor after generating the keys.
[16:03] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> just like the other file i asked you to paste
[16:03] <Mr_Cheeto> amenado, i just opened that file, i dind't run it in terminal
[16:03] <sirlark> ne2k__: dns53: err, I'm not even getting to loading the initrd
[16:03] <idefix> no shits no giggles
[16:03] <idefix> spideyman
[16:03] <dns53> sirlark i gave up on raid myself and i just use lvm, what you might need to do is boot from a live cd, update the kernel, i think you may need to get the raid config loaded into the initrd
[16:03] <idefix> and no medium found
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !fr > Lolo316
[16:03] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> so cut and paste, you have to use some common senses...

[16:04] <amenado> Mr_Cheeto-> no need to edit, just cat it
[16:04] <idefix> spideyman what's going on? why does nothing work?
[16:04] <Talio-Gladius> Prashanth: do you want to dual boot?

[16:32] <mindframe-> Xorg and ld-linux.so.2 are using up 50% cpu each and ld-linux.so.2 has been climbing in memory usage steadily to 40%... Can someone help me track the problem down?  The only solution I've found is to restart xorg
[16:33] <H__> question : how do i install a .deb i downloaded from sf which has uninstalled dependencies ?
[16:34] <XouaN1990> XouaN1990
[16:34] <amenado> H__-> you have to met the dependencies
[16:34] <xtermin8r> I have two input devices, touchpad and touchscreen configured in X (works fine), how can I get compiz to rotate desktop cube with the touchscreen by default, ie, no keyboard action.
[16:34] <m1r> Jack_Sparrow: fixed , tnx for help m8
[16:35] <rantic> Is their an Nvidia control panel or something for ubuntu, i got counterstrike working but it looks like crap with some anti aliasing / anisotropic filtering
[16:35] <H__> amenado : can't the package tools do that for me ? (they do if i add software via them that is part of the repositories)
[16:36] <manuel_> /00
[16:36] <manuel_> buenas
[16:36] <amenado> H__-> try dpkg -i packagename.deb
[16:36] <masterkiller> hey whats the file that says which window manager to load when you 'startx"?
[16:36] <nictimju> does anyone know how to get the device id of a webcam?
[16:36] <LinuxHelp> ne2k__, I put echo $DISPLAY into a new bash script then ran the script, and it came out blank
[16:36] <masterkiller> i was using beryl, i upgraded. it told me i no longer need to specify for it to go into xgl mode...but i dont know where to turn that off? i'm not getting xgl desktop =/
[16:37] <LinuxHelp> ne2k__, and yet, when I type echo $DISPLAY outside the script, it works
[16:37] <H__> amenado : I did, it reported lines like "Package libboost-filesystem1.34.1 is not installed.", and failed. Hence I came here
[16:37] <LinuxHelp> ne2k__, I assume this means that the DISPLAY variable is not going down into the script
[16:37] <LinuxHelp> ne2k__, and so is not going down into xterm either
[16:37] <LinuxHelp> ne2k__, I'm going to grep my hd for any DISPLAY= now
[16:38] <amenado> H__-> then satisfy the dependencies first then install the package
[16:38] <xtermin8r> master_of_master: /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[16:38] <H__> amenado : manually, ok then. Thanks.
[16:38] <BLKNITE> hi all
[16:38] <amenado> H__-> no problem..good luck my friend

[16:41] <tschaka> Drk_Guy anyway, i am away, good luck
[16:41] <joaopinto> Drk_Guy, check the .deb file size
[16:42] <kjs_> Anyone recommend a decent webdesigner ?

[16:42] <Drk_Guy> joaopinto, K
[16:42] <Li-Plus> how to use compiz on nvidia-glx-envy
[16:42] <joaopinto> Daisuke_Laptop, that specific version is not available
[16:42] <Daisuke_Laptop> is a minor point release *that* important?
[16:42] <Drk_Guy> 322,3 MB joaopinto
[16:42] <Daisuke_Laptop> 2.4 is available in the repos
[16:43] <Daisuke_Laptop> 2.4.2 is the one available through getdeb
[16:43] <Drk_Guy> Daisuke_Ido, 2.4.2 ain't compatible with 2.4

[16:43] <Drk_Guy> lol
[16:43] <Daisuke_Laptop> because it's in the pastebin :)
[16:44] <joaopinto> Daisuke_Laptop, "Fixed several problems with lagging gameplay/crashes/wrong display of effects
[16:44] <joaopinto> " seems important ;)
[16:44] <Drk_Guy> !compiz | tayfun
[16:44] <Daisuke_Laptop> ahh, yes, yes it does seem important
[16:44] <Drk_Guy> lol
[16:44] <Drk_Guy> But the wget logs report no errors
[16:44] <Drk_Guy> :(
[16:44] <tschaka> Drk_Guy remove the old version of nexuiz and install the new one.
[16:44] <jc-denton> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/241277
[16:44] <tschaka> maybe it struggles at overwriting files.
[16:44] <jc-denton> this works perfect with ff on wikndows
[16:45] <Drk_Guy> tschaka, No previous version installed
[16:45] <jc-denton> why the fuck does this not work with ff in ubuntu
[16:45] <joaopinto> Drk_Guy, pleas ask on #getdeb, your issue is specific to that package, is not a general dpkg problem
[16:45] <joaopinto> !language | jc-denton
[16:45] <jc-denton> and why does ubuntu ship with a freetarded version of java instead of a working one!?
[16:45] <jc-denton> no i'm pissed
[16:45] <tschaka> Drk_Guy ah ok, sry missread ur pastebin (as i aint spanish)
[16:45] <Drk_Guy> tschaka, lol, thanks

[16:46] <m1r> jc-denton: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:46] <joaopinto> Drk_Guy, erm, have you read my previous answer :P ?
[16:46] <tschaka> Drk_Guy  you could. sry i really got to go, but i guess someone else will help ya. i could start the download and try myself later ( approx 1 hour)
[16:46] <Daisuke_Laptop> Drk_Guy: Drk_Guy yeah, see how that turns out, it sounds like they had a problem packaging it perhaps
[16:46] <tayfun> hey people how can i change my backside image in my desktiop when i turn the cube?

[16:48] <eetfunk> what's the best way to split large files and merge them back together after?
[16:48] <grempus> has anyone ever seen a problem where the last login between ssh sessions is always "Last login: Wed Dec 31 1969" ?
[16:48] <thebishop> i'm using vsftpd to upload files to my www directory.  the problem is the default permissions cause apache to throw 403 errors.  how can i set the "default permission" to be what i need (755 i think)
[16:48] <ne2k__> eetfunk: split
[16:49] <eetfunk> ne2k__: i found that one, but the manpage doesnt say how to merge them back after.  it's binary data, not text if it matters
[16:49] <xtermin8r> tayfun: Try looking under desktop cube -> appearance -> background image
[16:49] <ne2k__> eetfunk: just use cat
[16:49] <bogey-> !vsftpd
[16:49] <BLKNITE> did anyone get the ATI X600 card to work in BigScreen mode?
[16:49] <tayfun> thanks
[16:49] <notplus_M> Running Ubuntu 8.04, and I just updated to 2.6.24-19-generic.  I installed the virtualbox ose modules for this kernel revision, but the vboxdrv module cannot be found
[16:49] <eetfunk> ne2k__: even with binary files? i'm a little surprised
[16:49] <thebishop> bogey-, ?
[16:49] <ne2k__> eetfunk: don't be. it's just a file
[16:49] <eetfunk> ok :)
[16:50] <eetfunk> thanks
[16:50] <ne2k__> eetfunk: try it out on something the doesn't matter just to satisfy yourself that it works
[16:50] <weirdor> geen verschil
[16:51] <eetfunk> ne2k__: k ;-)
[16:51] <weirdor> ik wil mijn geluid terug

[16:52] <weirdor> whoeps
[16:52] <Seldon75> hi all.  In suse, I was used to yast2, a GUI for installing new packages.  Is there an equivalent GUI under Ubuntu?
[16:52] <RAdams> !synaptic | Seldon75
[16:53] <elmer> Seldon75, under applications there should be something calld add/remove
[16:53] <joaopinto> Cheesypieces, I randomly have that problem with firefox, restarting sometimes get it work, i have no idea about opera
[16:53] <elmer> I think
[16:53] <Seldon75> thx
[16:53] <elmer> How can you check the Xft string of a font?
[16:53] <Cheesypieces> joaopinto: ok thanks, i'll try that
[16:53] <RAdams> anyone else having a problem with glipper crashing on every restart?
[16:54] <rantic> Is their an Nvidia control panel or something for ubuntu, i got counterstrike working but it looks like crap without some anti aliasing / anisotropic filtering
[16:54] <Mr_Cheeto> hey, when i play back MP3's in Amarok for Kaffene it seems to play at higher than normal speed, what's wrong with the playback?
[16:54] <joaopinto> RAdams, my experience with glipper is that it is very unstable
[16:54] <RAdams> rantic: nvidia-settings
[16:54] <gordonjcp> Mr_Cheeto: sample rate weirdness?
[16:54] <xtermin8r> I am using desktop cube on my eee PC with touchscreen, but sometimes it goes nuts and spins out of control like a donkey on crack, is there a way to fix this??
[16:54] <joaopinto> RAdams, try Parcellite
[16:54] <RAdams> joaopinto: ty
[16:54] <Mr_Cheeto> maybe? how do i change it gordonjcp?
[16:55] <gordonjcp> Mr_Cheeto: no idea, I don't use amarok, sorry
[16:55] <Mr_Cheeto> kafene?
[16:55] <rantic> RAdams: Ah, thank you :P
[16:55] <anavarro> hi, how can I execute irc commands?
[16:55] <fiXXXerMet> The ssl cert that was generated when Courier was installed (from package) is issued to localhost, instead of the server's FQDN.  How can I recreate the cert to use the FQDN?
[16:55] <gordonjcp> Mr_Cheeto: as a handy hint, if you're playing back a 44.1kHz recording at 48kHz it will be about a semitone and a half sharp
[16:55] <anavarro> here where I am writing now?
[16:56] <Mr_Cheeto> ah, i'll play with the sample rate
[16:56] <bouma> could i please ask for advice on a chan to go to to find out how to export a simple greyscale image into a list of integers ?
[16:56] <mon> anyone here that managed to get netatalkd working with authentication? been trying all day
[16:56] <EvilDennisR> jc__: w0rd.. Wha'd you do to fix it..
[16:57] <darlene> how do i setup ubuntu to allow remote access?
[16:57] <DRebellion> darlene, ssh or gui?
[16:58] <darlene> what would be easier for a starter to use?
[16:58] <DRebellion> darlene, ssh = command line; gui = graphical desktop;
[16:58] <darlene> im setting this computer up for someone who has never used ubuntu or linux before
[16:58] <DRebellion> oh right
[16:58] <darlene> gui
[16:58] <darlene> i guess would be easier
[16:58] <DRebellion> darlene, System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[16:58] <DRebellion> darlene, you can access it with a VNC client
[16:59] <RAdams> joaopinto: you don't happen to have a repository for parcellite do you? or did you have to build it from source?
[16:59] <darlene> ok, so all i need is the ip address then
[16:59] <darlene> ?
[16:59] <joaopinto> RAdams, http://www.getdeb.net/app/Parcellite
[16:59] <RAdams> joaopinto: thanks
[16:59] <darlene> and username and password in case they run into issues
[17:00] <xtermin8r> boubbin: If you can save the image as RAW unsigned, then use something like 'hexdump' with a format string....  Or just right a small C program to read the RAW image data and output integer data.
[17:00] <xtermin8r> ^ write
[17:00] <DRebellion> darlene, if the user is behind a router, you would need to forward the ports
[17:00] <darlene> they wont be
[17:00] <DRebellion> darlene, okey :)
[17:01] <Billenium> When ever i log into ubuntu, i cant click on my desktop bars and i get this error: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1920/screenshot1nk7.png After i exit out of the error it lags and i have to force quit, then my desktop bars disappear. What do i do now?
[17:02] <cesar__> Hola ¿alguien puede decirme como instalar las fuentes del kernel en guadalinex?

[17:03] <Tronic> Is it possible to make PulseAudio talk to JACK?
[17:03] <RAdams> darlene: VNC over Internet is completely transparent, fyi. I recommend some kind of secure SSH/VPN tunnel
[17:03] <mudit> hi i was just going to re-install ubuntu hardy, well I want to keep a separate partition for home directory, can someone guide me or direct me to some tutorial
[17:03] <cesar__> join #ubuntu-es
[17:03] <Tronic> I tried with PA JACK module and with ALSA JACK plugin already, but neither approach was successful.
[17:03] <RAdams> !partitioning | mudit
[17:03] <RAdams> ugh
[17:03] <RAdams> update the factoids
[17:04] <RAdams> mudit: gparted makes what you wnat to do pretty easy
[17:04] <mudit> RAdams yes partitioning
[17:04] <mudit> RAdams I m doing a fresh install !
[17:05] <mudit> from the live CD
[17:05] <RAdams> mudit: gparted is on the live cd :o
[17:05] <JC_Denton__> I've just bought a new laptop. Any advice on getting my MS tax back once it arrives?
[17:05] <mudit> i m through the process where you have to define your partitions
[17:06] <RAdams> JC_Denton__ Chances of actually getting it back are about 0%
[17:06] <mudit> its there !
[17:06] <RAdams> ta-da
[17:06] <mudit> lol
[17:06] <mudit> i dont see it !
[17:06] <JC_Denton__> RAdams: I thought people successfully returned their license after not accepting the eula?
[17:08] <RAdams> JC_denton__ returned yes, got their money back no
[17:08] <RAdams> JC_Denton__ the defense is that you agreed to purchase the laptop with all components
[17:08] <JC_Denton__> RAdams: oh, that's dissapointing
[17:08] <thelostolive> question .........
[17:08] <RAdams> !ask | thelostolive
[17:08] <JC_Denton__> RAdams: yes but you did not get to read the license agreement yet, did you..
[17:09] <RAdams> JC_Denton__: you are falsely assuming the Microsoft tax is fair, or open to reasoning.
[17:09] <thelostolive> google is not helpful so ill ask here, i know what version of a package I have....I want to compare agains what the repo has w/out installing.....how?
[17:09] <JC_Denton__> Bah, I feel so dirty having sponsored MS again
[17:09] <RAdams> thelostolive: wat do you want to compare? just versions?
[17:09] <Invader> How come does the wireless icon with green dots not show up? I've installed drivers using Ndiswrapper and I've set all connections (two wireless and this one ethernet) to roaming mode. A wireless router is supplying internet connection.
[17:10] <thelostolive> yea, what I have against what the repo will upgrade me to
[17:10] <thelostolive> I know how to get what I have
[17:10] <RAdams> thelostolive: dpkg -l name-of-package
[17:10] <chaman> bonjour
[17:11] <LimCore> java is installed by default in Ubuntu (firefox) ?
[17:11] <RAdams> LimCore: no
[17:11] <thelostolive> dpkg -l name-of-package is what I have, I know that, I want to know if an upgrade is available w/out installing it
[17:11] <Sanketsu> LimCore, Iced Tea Java is, if I remember correctly.
[17:11] <LimCore> hm..
[17:11] <JuJuBee> I just bought an externtal HD enclosuer (ide->usb).  When I plug in to my laptop(Feisty), it does not mount, but does on my desktop (Hardy)
[17:11] <mudit> ok just one question, what should be the size of swap area ?
[17:11] <thelostolive> using apt-get or somehting
[17:12] <Sanketsu> LimCore, but that may not work with what you're needing.
[17:12] <LimCore> so on Ubuntu java applets do NOT work by default?
[17:12] <RAdams> mudit: in general, 2x your physical ram
[17:12] <RAdams> LimCore: correct
[17:12] <genii> thelostolive: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy <packagename>    the one with asterisks is the one which is already installed
[17:12] <Sanketsu> LimCore, Most will, some will reauire the nonfree java though.
[17:12] <RAdams> sanketsu: most .apps work piss-poor to not at all with icedtea
[17:12] <mudit> i m making it 6GB, i have 2 gb ram and 160 of hard drive
[17:12] <RAdams> but then again, i havent tested that in about 3 versions of icedtea
[17:13] <RAdams> mudit: 4 gb is more than enough, but whatever floats your submarine
[17:13] <xtermin8r> I get some corrupted console characters (on the eeePC), where is the console font(s) stored?
[17:13] <Sanketsu> RAdams, true, I'm an oekaki addict and had to get the nonfree about 3 seconds after installing Ubuntu on my laptop.
[17:14] <X3non> anyone with a Sil3114 controller and a raid 0 working?
[17:14] <RAdams> !raid > RAdams
[17:14] <mudit> and what should be the Location of the swap Partition begining or End ?
[17:15] <RAdams> mudit: depends on what you want. In general, many people prefer the end. It is best practice to have /boot be the first, regardless
[17:15] <mudit> and i hope making a separate home partition will help me in system restore !
[17:15] <thelostolive> thanks for answer, it worded
[17:15] <thelostolive> worked
[17:15] <yareckon> hi guys, recommendations for gigabit ethernet cards that work with ubuntu desktops?
[17:16] <ne2k__> yareckon: I know that e1000 works fine on linux
[17:16] <genii> thelostolive: No worries. If you want to do upgrades but leave a specific package alone, look into pinning
[17:16] <yareckon> I know that intel PRO works, but they cost $50
[17:16] <Ramzi> can anyone help me install my ATI All in wonder usb 2.0 tv tuner
