[08:28] <AWOSDev> I need to play a MIDI through the MPU-401 game port (e.g. external keyboard).
[08:28] <AWOSDev> Nobody knows how anywhere else, so I came here.
[08:28] <AWOSDev> Even though I never get help and always end up helping other people instead.
[08:28] <acehigh> thoreauputic: if this gives you a idea of how far back i go......C64 with 5 1/4 disk :P
[08:28] <ArrenLex> Wow.  But as long as it works who cares?
[08:31] <thoreauputic> UNIX started in 1969 strictly speaking I guess
[08:31] <Byan> ArrenLex: good point
[08:31] <mabreaux> is there any way to get a command line to execute a program that is not in the menu's in gnome?
[08:31] <ArrenLex> Byan: you did uninstall the ubuntu hplip package, yes?
[08:31] <Parisi> Here is what my current desktop looks like with Beryl + Gnome : http://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2fm4.png
[08:31] <acehigh> AWOSDev: the beta came out in 71 but the sdg start in 76 which is the comercial version
[08:31] <ArrenLex> mabreaux: yes? Just enter it.
[08:32] <acehigh> the days of the punch cards hehe
[08:32] <Byan> ArrenLex: yeah
[08:32] <thoreauputic> acehigh: yup
[08:32] <mabreaux> I went to add programs and is does not list this program....   and I did not see a way to add it.
[08:32] <acehigh> talk about painful
[08:32] <AWOSDev> actually 1970 was the first beta because according to the Wiki:
[08:32] <mabreaux> what do you mean just type it
[08:32] <AWOSDev> In 1970, the project was named Unics, short for Uniplexed Information and Computing System, and could support two simultaneous users.
[08:32] <ArrenLex> Byan: scanimage --help should tell you all you need to know. It's very brief and informative. Note that, by default, scanimage dumps the image straight to stdout, so you need to direct it to a file, like scanimage --format=tiff > file.tif
[08:32] <thoreauputic> acehigh: especially when you dropped the deck of cards ;)
[08:32] <acehigh> hehe yep
[08:33] <Byan> what formates?
[08:33] <Byan> will it support
[08:33] <ArrenLex> Byan: pnm and tiff are the only formats scanimage supports. You'd have to convert these to more useful formats with command line utilities like imagemagick if you wanted other files.
[08:33] <AWOSDev> Ew punch cards, thankfully I missed that part :P
[08:33] <Byan> alrught
[08:33] <acehigh> thoreauputic: if my dad seen the type of computer work i do now he would cry
[08:33] <ArrenLex> Byan: that would look like scanimage --format=tiff | convert - file.png
[08:34] <ArrenLex> Byan: I think. Don't take my word for it.
[08:34] <Byan> ArrenLex: k
[08:34] <acehigh> AWOSDev: I didn't cause my father did it
[08:34] <AWOSDev> Hehe :)
[08:35] <mabreaux> I am trying to run gnucash in gnome..   and can not figure out how to do it.
[08:35] <AWOSDev> hard to imagine...512K->640K memory *upgrade*....now we're at 4G
[08:35] <acehigh> 64K-128K was my days
[08:36] <Byan> ArrenLex: now to be able to print/scan from other computers?
[08:36] <Byan> what do I do?
[08:36] <Byan> or, you can just point me in the right direction..
[08:36] <AWOSDev> Okay now how do I play MIDIs through an MPU-401 port?
[08:36] <ArrenLex> Byan: hold on, printing first. What's the output of lpinfo -l?
[08:37] <Byan> AWOSDev: try page up
[08:37] <frogzoo> AWOSDev: irssi - page up
[08:37] <acehigh> I wasn't going to say it
[08:37] <frogzoo> !midi
[08:37] <ubotu> Trouble playing midi files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[08:37] <acehigh> oh heck yea
[08:37] <AWOSDev> WOW
[08:38] <mabreaux> what is the menu editor called in gnome
[08:38] <acehigh> the bang search is here I love that
[08:38] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: alacarte
[08:38] <ArrenLex> Byan: hallo?
[08:38] <Byan> ArrenLex: no output..
[08:38] <mabreaux> how do you run it?
[08:38] <acehigh> frogzoo: thanks for showing me that now I dont have to ask so much hehe
[08:38] <ArrenLex> Oh, sorry. lpinfo -vv
[08:39] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: umm... either type alacarte in a terminal or right click the menu icon and choose the menu editor
[08:39] <Geoffrey2> can anyone tell me why a site that looks fine in a Windows version of Firefox would look like garbage in the Linux version?
[08:39] <Byan> direct hp:/usb/Officejet_4300_series?serial=CN65QF20H504GQ
[08:39] <Byan> direct hpfax:/usb/Officejet_4300_series?serial=CN65QF20H504GQ
[08:39] <Byan> among other things
[08:39] <thoreauputic> "edit menus" funnily enough...
[08:39] <ArrenLex> YAYY
[08:39] <ArrenLex> Whoa, you can even use fax.
[08:39] <AWOSDev> frogzoo, uh........
[08:40] <AWOSDev> frogzoo, I am "using external MIDI instruments"
[08:40] <ArrenLex> Geoffrey2: I sure can't. o_O
[08:40] <Byan> ArrenLex: could that be the other scan device?
[08:40] <ArrenLex> Byan: I don't know.
[08:40] <Byan> so, how do I change that tiff into a ps to print it?
[08:41] <Byan> or, I'll just print ASCII for now..
[08:42] <Geoffrey2> could someone check www.reformpa.net for me, just to see if the page looks reasonably good to them in a linux browser?
[08:42] <acehigh> Byan: if your printer supports ps and you use a linux program that reads adobe file formats it will print if im correct
[08:42] <AWOSDev> Geoffrey2, looks good in Konqueror
[08:42] <Byan> acehigh: how does that help me for a tiff?
[08:42] <wabbit> how does one know what sound cards are available on the system?? lspci show I have "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller" but my laptop has a altec lansing speaker.
[08:43] <acehigh> Byan: im just saying its a shot
[08:43] <Byan> acehigh: kk
[08:43] <acehigh> byan someone else might be able to say yes or no to it
[08:43] <ArrenLex> Byan: note that imagemagick can convert to ps.
[08:43] <ArrenLex> convert file.tiff file.ps
[08:43] <Byan> oh
[08:43] <acehigh> Byan: basing my knowledge off older versions of debian
[08:44] <Geoffrey2> AWOSDev, ok, thanks...I checked the page in Linux Firefox and it looked terrible, then I loaded up the Windows version I have, and it looked fine....so I thought I'd check
[08:44] <Byan> lpr: Error - no default destination available.
[08:44] <ArrenLex> Geoffrey: what firefox?
[08:44] <Byan> how do I set a default?
[08:44] <ArrenLex> Geoffrey: looks fine to me.
[08:44] <mabreaux> many thank on the menu editor!!
[08:45] <acehigh> 26 minutes
[08:45] <Geoffrey2> ArrenLex, Firefox <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:45] <ArrenLex> Byan: lpoptions -d <printername>
[08:45] <acehigh> does anyone know if gkrellm is in the beta version?
[08:45] <ArrenLex> Geoffrey: seems fine to me.
[08:45] <acehigh> default install doesn't list it
[08:45] <Geoffrey2> well, maybe something is just goofy on my version.....
[08:45] <mabreaux> in kde you can do a control-f2 for comand line what is the comand in gnome to do the same thing?
[08:45] <ArrenLex> Byan: where printername was given to you by lpinfo -v
[08:45] <Byan> ArrenLex: what exactly is the printername?
[08:45] <acehigh> amoung many other programs hehe
[08:46] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: alt-F2 :)
[08:46] <Byan> ArrenLex: kk
[08:46] <ArrenLex> Byan: try hp:/usb/Officejet_4300_series?serial=CN65QF20H504GQ for printername
[08:46] <Jewfro> I'm using way more disk space than I should be, could that be related to having my windows drive mounted?
[08:46] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: and I think it's alt-F2 in KDE isn't it? O r do you mean ctrl-alt-F2 for a tty ?
[08:46] <poningru> Jewfro: no
[08:46] <Byan> lpoptions: Unknown printer or class!
[08:47] <mabreaux> alt-f2 does not work...
[08:47] <acehigh> Jewfro: how big is your swap?
[08:47] <ArrenLex> Okay...
[08:47] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: alt-F2 gives you a "run" dialogue in GNOME
[08:47] <Jewfro> acehigh, um? how to tell? the HDD is 200GB
[08:47] <acehigh> Jewfro: when you installed did you specify a swap partition?
[08:47] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: for a console tty , you can do ctrl-alt-F (1-6)
[08:48] <Jewfro> acehigh, I followed the standard default, told it to use the whole drive
[08:48] <acehigh> Jewfro: that could be why your using more diskspace than you think
[08:49] <mon^rch> is it easy to setup/use .emerald themes or cwxtheme (or whatever they're called)
[08:49] <Jewfro> acehigh, how do I resolve the problem? or what do I search for in the community docs to find out even?
[08:49] <acehigh> Jewfro: swap will write to what ever you default it too and if you dont specify a swap partition it defaults to the primary partition
[08:50] <ArrenLex> Byan: it would be a lot easier to configure your printer using the cups web interface on port 631...
[08:50] <mabreaux> I tried a alt-f2 an nothing happened?
[08:50] <Jewfro> Fixing this requires re-install? do tell me so I can abort my updates now...
[08:50] <poningru> sigh
[08:50] <acehigh> Jewfro: I ussually make a 2g partition just for swap as a safe point
[08:50] <wabbit> gosh!!!
[08:50] <poningru> Jewfro: swap doesnt matter
[08:50] <acehigh> Jewfro: you dont need that big
[08:50] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: are you in GNOME?
[08:50] <poningru> go to system->admin->disk
[08:50] <mabreaux> yes
[08:50] <ArrenLex> Byan: what does "lpstat -t" tell you?
[08:50] <Byan> ArrenLex: and how do I start that?
[08:50] <mabreaux> yes I am in Gnome
[08:51] <poningru> Jewfro: that will tell you how big your partitions are
[08:51] <poningru> and how full they are
[08:51] <ArrenLex> Byan: it's already started. The question is how to get to it without a web browser.
[08:51] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: that's odd then - it should pop up a dialogue - there's also a panel applet for it
[08:51] <ArrenLex> Jewfro: yes, how big are your partitions? ;););)
[08:51] <wrabbit^> make sure f-lock isn't on if you're using a fancy keyboard mabreaux
[08:51] <Byan> seems the printer name is Officejet_4300 btw
[08:51] <mabreaux> where is the panel applet and what is it called
[08:52] <acehigh> ArrenLex: hehe
[08:52] <ArrenLex> Byan: use that, then.
[08:52] <wrabbit^> mabreaux: what're you trying to do exactly?
[08:52] <poningru> ArrenLex: coc applies here
[08:52] <ArrenLex> Oh come on. I didn't say anything dirty.
[08:52] <poningru> :)
[08:52] <mabreaux> using a laptop and the keyboard is very simple
[08:52] <Jewfro> partition 1 is 183GB, and swap is 2.9
[08:52] <thoreauputic> mabreaux: right click the panel, add, run application
[08:52] <Byan> ArrenLex: yeah, lpr is working now
[08:53] <poningru> Jewfro: whats how much of partition 1 is free?
[08:53] <acehigh> Jewfro: k so you did make a swap
[08:53] <Byan> ArrenLex: no way to configure it to listen on the eth?
[08:53] <mabreaux> that worked to add "run program"
[08:53] <Byan> ArrenLex: or, config files are fun anyways...
[08:53] <Jewfro> that doesn't make sense though, I should be using about 100 Gigs less, I've only got 45.33 free gigs, dropping my the minute and I'm just downloading small updates
[08:53] <mon^rch> is it easy to setup/use .emerald themes or cwxtheme (or whatever they're called)
[08:54] <wrabbit^> fine. No help from the ol' wrabbit
[08:54] <ArrenLex> Byan: what will you be printing from? Only linux, or windows also?
[08:54] <flannel> Jewfro: how do you figure that 100 gigs number?
[08:54] <Byan> ArrenLex: my roommate uses windows
[08:55] <mabreaux> is there a good source to learn about gnome,  I know kde pretty well and would like to learn gnome too.
[08:55] <Jewfro> flannel, the OS plus my media files approx 50 ish Gigs
[08:55] <Jewfro> at least that should be
[08:55] <Blippe> mabreaux, hands on experience is the best
[08:56] <ArrenLex> Byan: sharing is where my bumbling half-advice fails completely. I share my printer with samba; the only clients are Windows. This will probably not suit you.
[08:56] <ArrenLex> I suggest you google for how to set up a Linux print server, now that the hardware stuff is out of the way.
[08:56] <Byan> well, Samba is already set up
[08:56] <ArrenLex> http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/printsharing.shtml This is the first result google turned up; it may be useful or may not.
[08:56] <ArrenLex> Byan: samba is easy.
[08:56] <flannel> Jewfro: and du and df aren't reporting consistant numbers?
[08:57] <Byan> ArrenLex: how printers like uh.. the ones that use hardware printer servers
[08:57] <ArrenLex> Byan: http://arrenlex.diff.be/smb.conf this is my /etc/samba/smb.conf for sharing my printer, by the name of C510. You might find it useful. I really have to go, I'm afraid.
[08:57] <MyGhetek> alright guys, i need to make the user ghetek part of the group www-data
[08:57] <Jbirk> How do I edit my gnome startup session from the console?
[08:57] <Jewfro> flannel, my free space has changed by 3 gigs or so in the last hour, I'm downloading updates at a blazing 14kbps or so, so I know I haven't possible installed that much.
[08:57] <wrabbit^> if you want to learn gnome, it's as simple as typing: "learn gnome" into google.  The first link is useful.
[08:58] <pwk> hi
[08:58] <Byan> hmmm
[08:58] <Jbirk> i.e. let's say I added something to system > preferences >sessions >startup and now it crashes
[08:58] <pwk> i'm running a installtion in vmware fr ubnuntu :...
[08:58] <Jbirk> how can I disable or remove it if I can't login?
[08:58] <flannel> MyGhetek: sudo usermod -G www-data ghetek
[08:59] <pwk> will vmware tools work in 6.06 ?
[08:59] <MyGhetek> flannel: but i still cant mkdir in my ftp client when loggin on as "ghetek" after running that command
[08:59] <ArrenLex> Byan: anyway, the hardware's set up; I can't help you further. The rest if a common issue you should be able to google. Hope I could help somewhat!
[08:59] <ArrenLex> Byeee.
[09:00] <ArrenLex> Enjoy Linux.
[09:00] <Byan> ArrenLex: bye
[09:00] <wrabbit^> what's linux?
[09:00] <Flannel> MyGhetek: as ghetek, type "groups" does www-data show up?
[09:00] <ArrenLex> !linux
[09:00] <ubotu> linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[09:00] <Jbirk> What if I added something to the sessions startup, and now it crashes when it loads?
[09:00] <pwk> i'm running 612mb ram in vmware for ubuntu
[09:00] <Jbirk> How do I fix that?
[09:00] <MyGhetek> flannel: yes it does
[09:01] <Flannel> Jbirk: safe gnome
[09:01] <Jbirk> how do i do that?
[09:01] <Flannel> MyGhetek: alright, you may need to chmod /var/www to including writing by the group (instead of just the user)
[09:01] <Flannel> Jbirk: at GDM, sessions, safe gnome
[09:01] <Jewfro> this is very strange, my free space is just disappearing
[09:01] <wrabbit^> Jbirk: At the login screen.  Change sessions to safe gnome
[09:01] <wrabbit^> Jbirk: can you get that far?
[09:01] <Jbirk> yeah
[09:01] <MyGhetek> chmod u+r /var/www ?
[09:01] <Jbirk> I get to login
[09:02] <Jbirk> It just starts logging in
[09:02] <Jbirk> then it loads the last command a friend put in and restarts
[09:02] <Flannel> MyGhetek: g not u
[09:02] <Jbirk> My buddy put restart in there
[09:02] <Jbirk> not too funny
[09:02] <Flannel> MyGhetek: and w not r (write not read)
[09:02] <wrabbit^> Jbirk: Don't put in your login details until you've changed sessions.
[09:02] <Jbirk> okay
[09:02] <Jbirk> Basically, my friend put in restart
[09:02] <fu-k-t> hi
[09:02] <MyGhetek> flannel: sudo chown g+r /var/www ?
[09:02] <Jbirk> and now, when I login, Linux restarts
[09:03] <Jbirk> Okay, I did safe gnome
[09:03] <Flannel> MyGhetek: g+w
[09:03] <Jbirk> now I can just remove that
[09:03] <fu-k-t>  i need to know how to disable ssh access for a particular user
[09:03] <Jbirk> then log out
[09:03] <Jbirk> and back in?
[09:03] <Jbirk> thansk
[09:03] <not> i'm having trouble playing a .mp3 file with XMMS -- it used to play, but now it just gives this error: "Please check that: Your soundcard is configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the soundcard" how do i check to see if any of those are the problem, and how would i got about fixing them?
[09:03] <fu-k-t> any ideas?
[09:03] <Jbirk> next question

[09:07] <Flannel> fu-k-t: in sshd_conf you can Deny/Allow stuff (DenyGroup, etc)
[09:07] <pwk> linux-swap.. or ext. ?
[09:07] <cypher1_> skewh, paste your vsftpd.conf
[09:07] <skewh> cypher1_: ok

[09:08] <Jbirk> It is the MX 500 logitech
[09:08] <cypher1_> skewh, see topicj regarding pastebin
[09:08] <Blippe> pwk, the swap should be linux-swap and about the size of your ram
[09:08] <Jbirk> Oh well, I guess it is time for a movie
[09:08] <skewh> k
[09:08] <MyGhetek> flannel: iono
[09:08] <DigitalNinja> How does one start their own chanel
[09:08] <Blippe> pwk, the automatic partionier is really good though
[09:08] <pwk> and the main part. ext 3 ?
[09:08] <Flannel> Jbirk: what makes you think that page won't work for yours?
[09:08] <dedalus65> PWK I am using Ubuntu Dapper in VmWare right now , you should just let the installation taking the hard drive (virtual disk)
[09:08] <pwk> howd i get auto ?
[09:08] <Blippe> ext3 is a good choice for the main part
[09:08] <AWOSDev> acehigh, dead.

[09:09] <dedalus65> it will install by itself, I got the live cd starting and then chose install
[09:09] <AWOSDev> acehigh the link
[09:09] <Flannel> Jbirk: The specific number isn't important.  The method is the same
[09:09] <Jbirk> I just want to use the back and forward buttons in nautilus and firefox
[09:09] <acehigh> AWOSDev: it worked for me hehe
[09:09] <AWOSDev> captine no, <small>I hate GNOME and use KDE</small>
[09:09] <dedalus65> I have enough resolution without it
[09:09] <Blippe> pwk, right before you chose how to partition the harddrives there should have been a question if you wanted automatic partitioning
[09:09] <pwk> dedalus65, you do auto part. ?
[09:09] <Jbirk> I just whish I understood what button is what
[09:09] <dedalus65> and the sound is working fine
[09:09] <dedalus65> yes
[09:10] <AWOSDev> pwk, no but I work on cars.
[09:10] <pwk> lol
[09:10] <skewh> here's my vsftpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/806835
[09:10] <MyGhetek> flannel: is there a way to make www-data own that directory?
[09:10] <Flannel> Jbirk: here' a more speciifc page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse
[09:10] <cypher1_> skewh, k let me see
[09:10] <AWOSDev> acehigh, yeah but on the ALSA (what I use) link ti's dead
[09:10] <AWOSDev> s/ti/it
[09:10] <dedalus65> I let the auto partition chose the size of partition
[09:11] <Flannel> MyGhetek: sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www
[09:11] <dedalus65> I install it 2 hours ago and it took me 20 minutes
[09:11] <dedalus65> to install, Ubuntu is so user friendly
[09:11] <acehigh> AWOSDev: try this
[09:11] <pwk> if i auto part. it will take the hole drive .. correct ?
[09:11] <acehigh> AWOSDev: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/MIDI-HOWTO.html
[09:11] <Shadow_mil> dedalus65: :(
[09:11] <Shadow_mil> :)*
[09:12] <dedalus65> well the size you attribute in vmware
[09:12] <pwk> i set 24gb.. but i didn't allocate the space then..
[09:12] <dedalus65> I put 6 gig max on vmware setting for ubuntu dapper and it was enough
[09:12] <pwk> so it uses the space as it needs it
[09:13] <MyGhetek> flannel: i ran that but the ls -l still shows that root owns it and still cant make a dir in it through ftp with the ghetek user
[09:13] <dedalus65> but then , I keep space for more virtual machine
[09:13] <dedalus65> like slackware
[09:13] <pwk> is it ok, i didn't allocate space during setup in vmware ?
[09:13] <AWOSDev> acehigh, no no no the actual site worked, I just can't get in to the ALSA link
[09:13] <Shadow_mil> man all the reservoirs have been slow lately
[09:13] <dedalus65> yep it will fill up space up to 24 gigs
[09:13] <acehigh> AWOSDev: oh
[09:13] <dedalus65> I think that was I<ve done
[09:14] <Flannel> MyGhetek: if you did that, and root still owns it, you're doing something else wrong.  Or, something.  Did you get an error while chmodding?
[09:14] <pwk> install
[09:14] <Flannel> MyGhetek: er, chowning?
[09:14] <MyGhetek> flannel: no i did not get a single error
[09:14] <pwk> cool, cause last time i wasn't in vmware.. and i manually did it, and scrwed my windows
[09:14] <dedalus65> you have to set up a virtual machine
[09:14] <cypher1_> skewh, are you trying to upload as anonymous or real user ?
[09:15] <skewh> real user
[09:15] <MyGhetek> flannel: i ran this "sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www"
[09:15] <pwk> cause i need windows for university
[09:15] <dedalus65> then with watever setting for your ubuntu
[09:15] <jojoman02> anyone know any good zeroconf sharing programs? for networks composed of ubuntu computers
[09:15] <dedalus65> you start the virtual machine with the ubuntu cd (dvd) on your cdrom
[09:15] <pwk> will vmware tools run in ubntu 6.06 if i told it to install it ?
[09:15] <Flannel> MyGhetek: and you installed apache through the repositories, right?
[09:16] <dedalus65> and the virtual will boot from it
[09:16] <dedalus65> you install it
[09:16] <MyGhetek> flannel: i used the LAMP install on the cd
[09:16] <dedalus65> and after the installation your can run vmware tool
[09:16] <pwk> cool
[09:16] <MyGhetek> flannel: i just ran the command as root without the sudo part and it looks good now
[09:16] <DigitalNinja> Is there a place I can get good free web hosting?
[09:16] <dedalus65> but like i said My setting was ok
[09:17] <pwk> cause i had windows 200 pro on vm.. and worked great.. i'm anewbie with vmware though
[09:17] <Flannel> MyGhetek: what are the permissions on it?
[09:17] <MyGhetek> flannel: drwxr-xr-x  3 www-data www-data 4096 2006-10-14 19:10 www
[09:17] <pwk> k
[09:17] <dedalus65> resolution 1024x768
[09:17] <pwk> gotta go
[09:17] <pwk> i'll leave it install
[09:17] <dedalus65> enough for what I want to do
[09:17] <dedalus65> no vmware tool installed
[09:17] <pwk> and when i wake up i'll mess around with ubntu
[09:18] <MyGhetek> flannel: still no directory making in ftp in that dir
[09:18] <MyGhetek> flannel: maybe a problem with ftpd?
[09:18] <pwk> thanks eveyone
[09:18] <dedalus65> ok
[09:18] <Flannel> MyGhetek: better.  Now you just need to chown it, do this: chown g+x /var/www && chown o-x /var/www
[09:18] <pwk> goodnight all
[09:18] <jimdaniels> hi there i have a little problem with file permissions. i need to access a file on an external drive which has only root permissions from my other ubuntu system. is there a way to log in on this machine with the other user account?
[09:18] <Flannel> jimdaniels: you need to change the umask on the external drive
[09:18] <MyGhetek> flannel: chown: `g+x': invalid user
[09:19] <Flannel> MyGhetek: er, sorry. chmods for both of those
[09:19] <jimdaniels> Flannel: how can i do this?
[09:19] <Flannel> MyGhetek: now you've gotten me all turned around ;)
[09:20] <AWOSDev> Flannel, it's okay, I did that to somebody once
[09:21] <AWOSDev> the scary part was it was chown 777, so it changed it to an unidentified UID :)
[09:21] <Flannel> jimdaniels: it's external, so it's not in your fstab, right?  so you'll unmount then remount
[09:21] <Shadow_mil> how can I check my FPS output of my X server?
[09:21] <MyGhetek> flannel: root@LAMP:/var# chmod g+x /var/www && chmod o-x /var/www
[09:21] <Flannel> Shadow_mil: glxgears -iacknowledgethisisnotabenchmark
[09:22] <jimdaniels> yea it isn't. just sudo umount/mount -a ?
[09:22] <MyGhetek> flannel: still cant make a dir as ghetek
[09:22] <mabreaux> does anyone know how to set the default windowing system on ubuntu,  I have kde and gnome installed?
[09:22] <AWOSDev> Flannel that didn't work on my puter
[09:23] <Shadow_mil> Flannel: ,,,,
[09:23] <AWOSDev> Flannel are you messing with us?
[09:23] <acehigh> Flannel: wish i could run a gear hehe double buffers prevent me from doin it
[09:23] <AWOSDev> mabreaux, try the session drop down box at the login screen, then it will ask something like "Make this the default?" and you say Yes and everybody's happy
[09:24] <Flannel> AWOSDev: no, it does work.
[09:24] <acehigh> AWOSDev: ATI?
[09:24] <AWOSDev> yes
[09:24] <AWOSDev> grrrrrrrrr
[09:24] <acehigh> thats why hehe
[09:25] <acehigh> AWOSDev: i have a onboard nvidia as a backup and it works wonderfully but I also run a pciex ati1600
[09:25] <AWOSDev> that's /me's newest computer
[09:26] <acehigh> AWOSDev: I just upgraded to the AM2 setup it rocks imo
[09:26] <skewh> cypher1_:  any updates?
[09:26] <AnAnt> after upgrading to Edgy I get this error when I try to run a pre-compiled software (that used to work on Dapper): Error: Could not create FontSet for font '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*'. <=  How can I solve this ?
[09:26] <cypher1_> skewh, you did not answer me this question -- are you trying to upload as anonymous or real user ?
[09:26] <Flannel> jimdaniels: you'll want mount -a -O umask=0000 or whatever (umask is OPPOSITE of the permissions, 0000 means 777 etc, unless it's fat, then you use... dmask and fmask, I believe (man mount for more info on filesystem specifics)
[09:27] <Flannel> AnAnt: #ubuntu+1 for edgy
[09:27] <skewh> cypher1_:  oh I thought I did, anyways I am uploading as a real user
[09:27] <Lam_> if i stick a cheese pizza on the kitchen table and leave it till morning to eat, would it be better to put it in the fridge and microwave or not?
[09:27] <Flannel> MyGhetek: what's the permissions of /var/www?
[09:27] <AWOSDev> Lam_ I would
[09:27] <BHSPitLappy> Lam_, refrigerate it
[09:27] <cypher1_> skewh, hold on
[09:27] <BHSPitLappy> don't leave it out
[09:27] <Lam_> ok thanks. i'll go put it in the fridge
[09:27] <BHSPitLappy> Lam_, don't you know anything about linux?
[09:28] <BHSPitLappy> err food
[09:28] <MyGhetek> flannel: drwxr-xr--  3 www-data www-data 4096 2006-10-14 19:10 www
[09:28] <acehigh> this might be a interesting upgrade
[09:29] <cypher1_> skewh, are you having the same problem when you try uploading as a root user ?
[09:29] <Lam_> BHSPitLappy: lol yeah. i was going to do it anyways, but my roommate put in in the oven (not turned on of course; space reasons) and was wondering wtf he was doing
[09:29] <Flannel> MyGhetek: the write still isn't there
[09:29] <skewh> I haven't tried it, but I will now
[09:29] <cypher1_> skewh, k
[09:29] <Flannel> MyGhetek: chmod g+w /var/www
[09:30] <cypher1_> skewh, r u on gentoo ?
[09:30] <skewh> cypher1_:  pardon?
[09:30] <cypher1_> skewh, i saw gentoo mentioned on vsftpd.conf, so just asked
[09:30] <AWOSDev> acehigh Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me you know what /dev/ the MPU401 is
[09:31] <skewh> cypher1_:  I don't believe so since I'm not sure what that is, and I can not login to FTP as root
[09:31] <acehigh> AWOSDev: um lets see.................................nope
[09:32] <AWOSDev> :(
[09:32] <AWOSDev> *shrug*
[09:32] <MyGhetek> flannel: run that from root?
[09:32] <acehigh> AWOSDev: but guess what
[09:32] <Flannel> MyGhetek: or with sudo.  yes.
[09:32] <acehigh> AWOSDev: /dev/sequencer2
[09:33] <AWOSDev> Ooooh you do!
[09:33] <acehigh> AWOSDev: hehe
[09:33] <acehigh> AWOSDev: hope it works for ya
[09:33] <acehigh> ill brb reboot required
[09:33] <cypher1_> skewh, where are you trying to upload ? (mounted disk or partition) ?
[09:34] <skewh> cypher1_: I am trying to upload into the /var/www/ directory
[09:34] <eclipse75> hmm dhcp isnt working for my friend using eth0
[09:34] <eclipse75> even tried static
[09:34] <eclipse75> and ubuntu doesnt include netconfig bleh
[09:34] <cypher1_> skewh, is it mounted ? what is the umask ?
[09:34] <eclipse75> anybody have any ideas?
[09:35] <skewh> cypher1_: pardon?
[09:35] <Flannel> skewh: you need to add yourself to the www-data group, and chmod /var/www to allow people writing as that group.
[09:35] <cypher1_> skewh, check your /etc/mnttab
[09:35] <Flannel> skewh: or a subfolder, etc.
[09:35] <MyGhetek> flannel: drwxrwxr--  3 www-data www-data 4096 2006-10-14 19:10 www
[09:35] <Flannel> MyGhetek: right.  That's what we're looking for
[09:36] <MyGhetek> flannel: i love you
[09:36] <MyGhetek> flannel: and im a dude! and im not even gay.
[09:36] <cypher1_> skewh, /etc/fstab sorry
[09:36] <skewh> cypher1_:  ok, so will adding myself to the www-data group fix my problem of the web pages giving me a Forbidden error when the files aren't CHMODDED as 444?
[09:36] <Flannel> MyGhetek: glad to hear you got it figured out
[09:36] <jimdaniels> Flannel: sorry but sudo  mount -a -O umask=0000 gives me no permissions
[09:36] <anmar>  /join #dokuwiki
[09:37] <Flannel> skewh: oh, wait.  the WEB pages are giving you permissoin erors?
[09:37] <Flannel> skewh: that's because apache can't read the files.  Not anything to do with ftp
[09:37] <Flannel> skewh: make sure the apache user (www-data) can read your files
[09:38] <skewh> Flannel:  Ok, so how do I set that
[09:38] <AWOSDev> Okay this didn't work:   cat strangerinparadise.mid > /dev/sequencer2
[09:38] <Flannel> skewh: well, they're on the webserver probably as you.  So you'd want to make them readable by everyone (o+r)
[09:39] <skewh> Flannel:  Like CHMOD the entire www directory 444?
[09:39] <cypher1_> skewh, or chmod to the apache user
[09:39] <cypher1_> sorry chown
[09:39] <jimdaniels> Flannel: you still there?
[09:40] <cypher1_> Flannel, i guess that also works right ?
[09:40] <jimdaniels> Flannel: sudo  mount -a -O umask=0000 gives me no permissions
[09:40] <skewh> cypher1_: I chmodded the entire directory 444, but unless I go into that folder and chmod the individual files, it gives me a forbidden error
[09:40] <Flannel> skewh: the entire directory won't chmod the files in it.
[09:40] <Flannel> skewh: right.
[09:41] <Flannel> jimdaniels: yeah, sorry.  not really sure, haven't done a whole lot of mounting personally.  But, the umask is the answer you're looking for.
[09:41] <eclipse75> does ubuntu support xinerama? does it have a package for it or what?
[09:41] <cypher1_> skewh, so you get forbidden error while accessing the files through browser ?
[09:41] <skewh> Flannel:  Ok, so how do I fix the problem that when I upload files via FTP, it will immediatly CHMOD it 444 or allow it to display or something?
[09:41] <Flannel> !tell eclipse75 about xinerama
[09:41] <AWOSDev> You'd want umask=007
[09:41] <skewh> cypher1_:  Yes, unless I chmod 444
[09:41] <eclipse75> !tell xinerama
[09:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tell xinerama - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:41] <jimdaniels> !umask
[09:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umask - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:42] <eclipse75> hehe
[09:42] <Flannel> skewh: or instead of doing that, fix it how it's meant to be.  And either set someting in the ftp config to change the default perms, or change some user stuff around
[09:42] <AWOSDev> Trust me, it's umask=007
[09:42] <Acehigh> hehe
[09:42] <Rookie_> !permission
[09:42] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[09:42] <Acehigh> I broked it
[09:42] <skewh> Flannel:  so how would I do that?
[09:42] <Flannel> skewh: that would depend on vsftpd, I'm not familiar with it personally.
[09:43] <pwk> i got it running in vmware :)
[09:43] <cypher1_> skewh, in vsftpd.conf change local_umask to 333
[09:43] <pwk> only found 186 updates
[09:43] <pwk> lol
[09:43] <skewh> cypher1_:  ok thank you
[09:43] <pwk> more then ms
[09:43] <Acehigh> AWOSDev did that work?
[09:43] <cypher1_> skewh, please try it out now and let us know if you have problems
[09:43] <skewh> cypher1_:  will do
[09:44] <AWOSDev> acehigh no
[09:44] <Acehigh> AWOSDev then your midi has a set dev
[09:44] <AWOSDev> acehigh I put       cat strangerinparadise.mid > /dev/sequencer2 and heard nothing
[09:45] <Acehigh> AWOSDev I dont know then sorry :(
[09:45] <AWOSDev> That should work right?
[09:45] <Acehigh> AWOSDev if I didn't just break my ATI drivers I would be able to check hehe
[09:45] <BHSPitLappy> what kind of midi card you got?
[09:46] <AWOSDev> acehigh oopsy :)
[09:46] <xUnaBx> vegan
[09:46] <Acehigh> AWOSDev try google it works really well for me
[09:46] <AWOSDev> acehigh okay
[09:47] <StoneNote> anyone know of a site or a report that compares the performance of SQLite vs Berkeley DB (BDB) vs Gnu DBM (GDBM) on ubuntu (or any version of linux for that matter)?
[09:47] <skewh> cypher1_:  just wondering, what is changing  local_umask to 333 supposed to do?
[09:48] <cypher1_> skewh, did it work
[09:48] <cypher1_> skewh, it decides on with what permissions the files get created
[09:48] <cypher1_> ubotu, umask
[09:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umask - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:48] <cypher1_> hah
[09:48] <skewh> cypher1_: unfortunately, I can not access the computer at the time
[09:49] <cypher1_> skewh, i did not get
[09:49] <Homer_Linux> hiya ppl whats the best program for burning mp3 to cd(audio)
[09:49] <skewh> cypher1_: My current location prohibits me from physically accessing the computer
[09:49] <AWOSDev> Homer_Linux K3b
[09:49] <BHSPitLappy> yeah, k3b...
[09:49] <BHSPitLappy> despite the K
[09:50] <cypher1_> skewh, ok then pls try it out when you can
[09:50] <skewh> cypher1_: When I can access the computer, I will try that and come back if there are any problems
[09:50] <Homer_Linux> thanks
[09:50] <cypher1_> skewh, sure
[09:50] <Homer_Linux> is that in the standard repos
[09:51] <cypher1_> skewh, you can check "man umask" to understand it better
[09:51] <skewh> cypher1_: will do, thanks
[09:52] <jimdaniels> Flannel: i think my problem is that the external drive is directlx and automagically remounted after umounting. how can i stop this?
[09:52] <jordan> Is there a way to raise the fan speed on my laptop?
[09:52] <AWOSDev> jordan, make it hot, really hot :P
[09:53] <v-man-1> jordan: thats usually done in the bios
[09:53] <skewh> also, for vsftpd, I have one local account's home directory set to the /var/www folder so that when I login to the FTP using that account, I can only access the www folder and everything inside it, is that ok or is there a better way?
[09:53] <tanlaan> hello everyone :D
[09:54] <jordan> v-man-1, I am on a mac so that isn't an option, it is controlled by software anyways isn't it?
[09:55] <tanlaan> i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out a good linux distro for an HP pavilion N5135 laptop with 192mb of ram and a 5gb hard drive.
[09:55] <v-man-1> jordan: dunno about that man, on my PC I can set it in the bios
[09:55] <jordan> v-man-1,  Are you using a laptop?
[09:55] <v-man-1> jordan: no
[09:56] <AWOSDev> Like I said, I just make mine hot :P
[09:56] <jamx> i have a dual boot with winxp and ubuntu, i wanna reinstall winxp.. but that will remove grub. is there an easy way to put grub back after the reinstall of winxp?
[09:56] <jordan> v-man-1, Then mabie your fan speed is fixed and therefore cannot be controlled by software?
[09:57] <cypher1_> which is the best torrent client in ubuntu
[09:57] <AWOSDev> Ktorrent FTW!
[09:58] <v-man-1> i really like KTorrent too but I don't like having both gtk/gnome and kde/qt libs loaded
[09:58] <jordan> cyphase_, That is supjective, I like azureus but some like lighter weight.
[09:58] <v-man-1> i know a few people who run uTorrent through wine and they like it
[09:58] <jordan> * subjective
[09:58] <rasket> how can i login as root in ubuntu xserver ?
[09:58] <skewh> also, for vsftpd, I have one local account's home directory set to the /var/www folder so that when I login to the FTP using that account, I can only access the www folder and everything inside it, is that ok or is there a better way?
[09:58] <jordan> !root
[09:58] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:59] <rasket> but i cant prefix the command with sudo in gnome
[09:59] <AWOSDev> gksudo
[10:00] <rasket> if i try to start a gnome app i get screen not available
[10:00] <jordan> rasket, How are you trying to start it?
[10:01] <rasket> i have a user who should start with sudo but after    starting .....   window disappear nothing happens
[10:01] <rasket> jordan, just typing the name of the app
[10:01] <skewh> also, for vsftpd, I have one local account's home directory set to the /var/www folder so that when I login to the FTP using that account, I can only access the www folder and everything inside it, is that ok or is there a better way?
[10:03] <J-_> when configuring /etc/hosts when configuring a server, do I put the virtual server ip beside the <IP_ADDRESS>, then localhost? if so, what do i do with the 2nd one below it? hopefully that makes sense.
[10:03] <rasket> is there a text based user management tool _
[10:03] <AWOSDev> useradd
[10:03] <AWOSDev> userdel
[10:03] <AWOSDev> etc...
[10:03] <rasket> with some menues :-) ?
[10:04] <AWOSDev> rasket, that's asking a bit much :)
[10:04] <rasket> or how do i check if a user is in a group ? or adding him to a group ?
[10:05] <jordan> rasket, When you are trying to open an application, are you doing that from an xterm ( like gnome-terminal ) ?
[10:06] <tanlaan> anyone know of a linux distro that would be good for an HP pavilion N5135 laptop with 192mb of ram and a 5 gb hard drive?
[10:06] <rasket> jordan, as root ? no i opened another session with strg+alt f1
[10:06] <antoniac> rasket
[10:06] <antoniac> why not using the userconfig
[10:06] <jordan> rasket, that is why...
[10:06] <Nox2k3> I'm assuming that if I set xserver-xorg's pin priority to -1, it will downgrade the package?
[10:06] <santagada> can someone please help me with this bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/62342
[10:06] <AWOSDev> Nox2K3 yes
[10:06] <santagada> ?
[10:06] <Nox2k3> and then apt-get upgrade will downgrade it?
[10:07] <jordan> rasket, To start GUI applications you need to either start them frome an xterminal or tell it what display to use.
[10:07] <rosen37> Hi
[10:07] <pwk> hi
[10:08] <pwk> anyway to change time in ubntu so its right in vmware ?
[10:08] <santagada> i have this problem with gdm that it doesn't show the ubuntu when the computer boot up
[10:08] <santagada> only when I restart gdm by hand
[10:08] <v-man-1> i just cracked my neighbours wep :S
[10:08] <v-man-1>  KEY FOUND! [ 66:6B:AB:30:47 ]
[10:08] <AWOSDev> v-man-1 :P
[10:08] <rasket> jordan, thanks now i got a window at least, but nothing happens if i start it like it is done in the shortcut (gksudo users-admin) does nothing
[10:08] <antoniac> v-man-1 what did you use? airsnort? kismet?
[10:09] <santagada> then I posted my bug report and I had no answer in 20 days or more
[10:09] <rasket> jordan, starting with (users-admin) a window appears
[10:09] <rosen37> I have a question , I m admin system and I need to change all station from debian(xdm + wmaker)  to Kubuntu. However for each suer a .xsession is currently existing to launch ssh-askpass at the start of the X then exec wmaker. However with this kind of .xsession KDE on ubuntu didn t work I have to replace the exec wmaker by startkde. Is there an otehr solution?
[10:09] <v-man-1> antoniac:  airodump-ng to collect the initialisation vectors, then aircrack-ng to crack the key
[10:09] <santagada> so if someone knows how to fix it I will be very glad
[10:10] <v-man-1> edgy has the aircrack-ng package which includes airodump and other neat tools
[10:10] <POVaddct> v-man-1: also aireplay-ng, or did you just use passive sniffing?
[10:10] <Rookie_> sounds like you have to look on roaming rosen37
[10:10] <rasket> jordan, can i reset the sudo password, after i misstyped it ? there is no prompt anymore
[10:10] <v-man-1> POVaddct: just passive, took 30 minutes to collect 500,000 IVs
[10:10] <santagada> or just take a look at https://launchpad.net/bugs/62342 and say if I missed some important info
[10:10] <Nox2k3> is there any way to dump the contents of my package list and reload it completely?
[10:10] <Nox2k3> like if I removed a repository from the list
[10:10] <wabbit> could someone help me with microphone configuration. I will really appreciate it
[10:10] <AWOSDev> I need help with my external MIDI, it still doesn't work :X
[10:11] <pwk> hi
[10:11] <POVaddct> v-man-1: wow. i see 5 ESSIDs in my neighborhood but none of them makes enough traffic
[10:11] <v-man-1> POVaddct: i havn't patched my card's drivers yet, so no injection for me at this time
[10:11] <Rookie_> !roaming
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about roaming - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <wabbit> I use dapper and have a dv5000 laptop
[10:11] <pwk> i need some help setting up vmware tools
[10:11] <holy_cow> pwk, #vmware
[10:11] <pwk> i see it mounted a cd drive in ubntu
[10:11] <POVaddct> v-man-1: i got patched drivers for my ralink usb wlan stick (rt2570)
[10:11] <AWOSDev> pwk, Yes please go to #vmware
[10:11] <nikin> rosen37: install Wmaker if you want
[10:11] <stat1c> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.06 and need to run base-config (which has been deprecated). Can someone please tell me how to do what it does manualy?
[10:11] <pwk> k
[10:12] <pwk> but it relates to, how do i install the prgoram
[10:12] <v-man-1> POVaddct: nice, I've got a Linksys card pased on rt2500

[10:12] <holy_cow> #vmware pwk
[10:12] <AWOSDev> pwk, right, the VMWare program
[10:12] <AWOSDev> So go to #VMWare
[10:12] <AWOSDev> ...
[10:12] <POVaddct> v-man-1: i could successfully disassociate my laptop from my AP
[10:12] <pwk> i got a .rpm and a .tar.gz files.. whcih is installer ?
[10:12] <nikin> both :D
[10:13] <Rookie_> !alien
[10:13] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[10:13] <holy_cow> pwk #vmware plz
[10:13] <holy_cow> thats not an ubuntu question
[10:13] <pwk> can anyone guide me trhough installing something ?
[10:13] <jordan> pwk, What are you trying to install?
[10:13] <pwk> k
[10:13] <pwk> sorry
[10:13] <OmniD> Okay I have a problem! My external hard drive takes forever to get things written to it. I think Ubuntu has classified it as a USB 1.1 device when it is very much a 2.0.
[10:13] <Rookie_> pwk - look on alien
[10:13] <holy_cow> its okay, it is a vmwawre question tho
[10:14] <holy_cow> also google, google has A LOT of notes on how to install vmware products
[10:14] <virtual-stargaze> I'll be back later, and I'll have some questions...
[10:14] <rosen37> nikin: no it s ok I did a if then else in the .xsession

[10:17] <nikin> my dog bited my Ethernet cable in 2 :D any idea of a fast solution?
[10:17] <nikin> its sunday and nothing is open, to buy one
[10:18] <holy_cow> nikin, always make sure to have a splicer and some extra ends
[10:18] <Rookie_> wait until tomorrow ;) ?
[10:18] <holy_cow> >_>
[10:19] <phobiac> Nikin, do you have a modem and is it plugged into a router?
[10:19] <nikin> phomiac: yup
[10:20] <AWOSDev> Plug directly in
[10:20] <phobiac> What AWOS said^
[10:20] <nikin> AWOS: i have to feed 4 computers with net here
[10:20] <jordan> So, anyone know how to change fan speeds on laptops?
[10:20] <AWOSDev> nikin, oops
[10:21] <AWOSDev> nikin, just feed three and leave one out until Monday when Office Depot opens
[10:21] <AWOSDev> :)
[10:22] <nikin> AWOS: yes.. as i see now that will be tha case... but i wanted to reinstall my server :(, and its a nice sunday to do it
[10:22] <AWOSDev> Well then don't unplug the server......?
[10:23] <nikin> the server is the only ompputer with a cable, the other three are notebooks with WLAN
[10:23] <Nox2k3> I'm trying to downgrade X and I believe that I've done this correctly but it doesn't feel like downgrading it, I have a paste at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26846/. I would much appreciate it if someone could take a look and point out my stupidity.
[10:23] <AWOSDev> Downgrade?
[10:23] <AWOSDev> huh?
[10:23] <AWOSDev> That's the only stupidity I find?
[10:23] <Nox2k3> yeah 7.0.0 doesn't work with fglrx
[10:24] <pwk> hi
[10:24] <pwk> whats a super user ?
[10:24] <AWOSDev> Oh back again
[10:24] <AWOSDev> !su
[10:24] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:24] <holy_cow> Nox2k3, heh
[10:24] <Rondom> Nox2k3: you only need to disable composite, it does work
[10:24] <nikin> pwk: GOD
[10:24] <nikin> :D
[10:24] <J-_> is there a SSH gui viewer that i can run?
[10:24] <Nox2k3> its telling me that its getting an X version mismatch
[10:24] <Nox2k3> disabling composite will somehow solve that?
[10:24] <AWOSDev> J-_ try fish:// in Konqueror
[10:24] <POVaddct> J-_: what do you mean?
[10:24] <AWOSDev> KDE FTW.
[10:24] <pwk> thxs
[10:25] <Nox2k3> J-_: If you're using Gnome, try using the Places menu and Connect to Server
[10:25] <POVaddct> J-_: do you want ssh login or scp file transfer?
[10:25] <Rondom> Nox2k3: I guess you are using edgy, the packaged version works and I'm pretty sure that the newer version will also work if you disable the version-detection
[10:25] <J-_> ssh login i believe
[10:25] <J-_> (i think anyway)
[10:25] <Nox2k3> I'm not using edgy, and disable the version detection how?
[10:26] <Nox2k3> I have, however, I believe, updated X via the various Compiz/Beryl howtos
[10:26] <J-_> Nox2k3: i'll try that, thanks
[10:26] <Nox2k3> I can't recall as last time I did this was a long time ago
[10:26] <Nox2k3> last time I tried*
[10:26] <POVaddct> J-_: you could try putty (the linux version)
[10:26] <holy_cow> i would just reinstall
[10:26] <Rondom> Nox2k3: ok, well google for the message
[10:26] <holy_cow> by the time you untangle that beryl/xgl crap you would have been done
[10:26] <J-_> i am on putty, there's no gui
[10:26] <L3TUC3> hmm
[10:27] <L3TUC3> I did it in an hour or so
[10:27] <POVaddct> J-_: ssh login is always text.
[10:27] <Nox2k3> holy_cow: Incorrect as I have to run CVSed NetworkManager and hostap garbage to get my wireless to work nice and automagically
[10:27] <J-_> ah ok. lol, thanks
[10:27] <Nox2k3> so I would need to reset all that stuff up
[10:27] <AWOSDev> J-_ you mean you want to browse it, as in like in Nautilus?
[10:27] <J-_> yes
[10:27] <holy_cow> what does that haveto do with anything?
[10:27] <holy_cow> heh
[10:27] <AWOSDev> J-_ personally I use sshfs and mount it
[10:27] <Nox2k3> reinstalling would take longer than untangling
[10:27] <POVaddct> J-_: i think you want X forwarding over ssh. but for that you need a local X server running.
[10:27] <holy_cow> Nox2k3, heh no
[10:28] <AWOSDev> No he just said he wants to browse like Nautilus
[10:28] <holy_cow> Nox2k3, however, go ahead and try
[10:28] <holy_cow> only a friendlyl suggestion, nothing more
[10:28] <POVaddct> J-_: so if you are using putty on windows, you need a X server for windows to use X forwarding on putty.
[10:28] <J-_> i have a LAMP server running, with ubuntu installed.
[10:28] <Nox2k3> Is there not a way to remove a repository from my list, and downgrade to the other repository?
[10:28] <boink> downgrade?
[10:28] <Nox2k3> install older packages
[10:29] <boink> downgrade to another distro?
[10:29] <POVaddct> J-_: a lamp server? then why use a gui anyway? learn to use the shell!
[10:29] <boink> ok .. just edit the /etc/apt/souces.list
[10:29] <J-_> lol, i'm trying =P
[10:29] <jordan> Nox2k3, You could remove the package, remove the repository, and download the package again?
[10:29] <jordan> * download == install.
[10:29] <Nox2k3> I believe I have tried that before for some other package, but I will try again. Time to explode my laptop install.
[10:30] <nikin> J : why you want ssh?
[10:30] <POVaddct> J-_: and while you are at it, take a look at the screen command. very useful when doing ssh remote logins.
[10:30] <mmp> hello; I have ubuntu 6.06 installed, and I tried to use NetworkManager for configuring WPA on Ralink 2500 card; but nm-applet shows just WEP encryption available... .
[10:30] <mmp> And wpa_supplicant seems to be installed correctly.
[10:31] <goofy> i heard that ubuntu is based on debian.....is this true
[10:31] <J-_> nikin: to log into my server/ start editting the linux gazette when i have the time. but more now to log into me server and cofigure it
[10:31] <boink> it's true, goofy
[10:31] <goofy> thanks
[10:31] <boink> ubuntu and debian work closey together as well
[10:31] <J-_> configure**
[10:31] <nikin> J- if you have X installed then just RUN a VNC server
[10:31] <nikin> its ugly
[10:31] <phobiac> How can I log in as root and/or temporarily give my session root access?
[10:31] <holy_cow> mmp, wpa supplicant requires you modify config files manually
[10:31] <nikin> but its remote and GUI
[10:31] <OmniD> My external hard drive takes forever to get things written to it. I think Ubuntu has classified it as a USB 1.1 device when it is very much a 2.0.
[10:32] <holy_cow> network manager doesn't give you wpa interace (yet one would hope)
[10:32] <mmp> holy_cow: networkmanager since 0.6.0 can use wpa_supplicant to configure wireless interfaces.
[10:32] <holy_cow> well then ...
[10:32] <holy_cow> go right ahead :)
[10:32] <nikin> OmniD: was that HD working on the same PC under win?
[10:32] <OmniD> I think so? I don't really know I haven't used it in Windows in forever
[10:33] <OmniD> I don't have a Windows PC near me to try
[10:33] <mmp> holy_cow: I'm not sure what is the problem and I don't have the laptop nearby (in fact, it is not mine at all:)
[10:33] <mmp> I did not play with it much, but it seems it can't correctly start wpa_supplicant "slave" process, or communicate with it.
[10:33] <J-_> Thanks for the help, i'll be back (=
[10:33] <nikin> OmniD: can't be that the PC U use has USB 1.1
[10:34] <rosen37> I installed an ubuntu in my network but I have a prob of dns resolution with it. I can resolv only thing like name.domainname  How can I do to resolv only on the name?
[10:34] <OmniD> Err nope they are all 2.0
[10:34] <OmniD> Not an old PC not even a year old
[10:34] <mmp> rosen37: using 'domain' or 'search keywords iirc
[10:34] <nikin> OmniD : okok
[10:34] <mmp> rosen37: man resolv.conf should give you more details...
[10:35] <nikin> OmniD: do you have any programs like Kinfocenter installed
[10:35] <nikin> ?
[10:35] <Nox2k3> Oh duh, I've just been starting the AIGLX'd X server. I feel dumb.
[10:35] <OmniD> I don't think so
[10:35] <OmniD> Should I install that?
[10:35] <OmniD> Is there a Gnome equivelent?
[10:36] <AWOSDev> Hehe, you're on #ubuntu not #kubuntu nikin :
[10:36] <AWOSDev> )
[10:36] <nikin> OmniD: i exit a ces, and go to Gnome to see brb
[10:36] <OmniD> ... what?
[10:36] <AWOSDev> No clue.
[10:36] <J-_> once I have the server configured, can i unstall ubuntu to free up more resources on the server?
[10:36] <phobiac> How can I log in as root and/or temporarily give my session root access?
[10:37] <Byan> is it possible to set up a network scanner?
[10:37] <holy_cow> phobiac,
[10:37] <holy_cow> !sudo
[10:37] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:37] <holy_cow> no root on ubuntu
[10:37] <holy_cow> forget about root
[10:38] <AWOSDev> phobiac -- sudo -s
[10:38] <santagada> if someone wants to help me fix my bug just go to https://launchpad.net/bugs/62342 and reply to me there... if it fixes my bug I can even mark it as fixed... and this will help ubuntu :-)
[10:38] <santagada> good night
[10:38] <AWOSDev> santagada G'night
[10:38] <nikin> back
[10:39] <Weber> Would someone please help me fix my fps drop in full screen 3D games ?
[10:39] <phobiac> Sudo in the terminal will give me super user control even in the gui?
[10:39] <AWOSDev> phobiac no
[10:39] <AWOSDev> phobiac gksudo in GNOME, ksudo in KDE
[10:40] <phobiac> Thanks AWOS
[10:40] <AWOSDev> phobiac np
[10:40] <Byan> >_<
[10:40] <nikin> phobiac: only if you run the GUI app from the root terminal
[10:41] <phobiac> gksudo gives me a comman not found error.
[10:41] <phobiac> command*
[10:41] <AWOSDev> I thought it was gksudo
[10:42] <phobiac> To be exact, gksudo gives me a popup messege saying the command is missing. Ksudo just gives a comman not found in the terminal.
[10:42] <shinobi2> how often is ubuntu's repository updated?  i don't see a vim 7.0 in synaptic
[10:43] <AWOSDev> shinobi2, As often as you update it :P
[10:43] <shinobi2> when i type 'cal' the current date is not high lighted, how can i fix that?
[10:44] <Madpilot> shinobi2, programs are not given version updates in released editions of Ubuntu
[10:44] <Byan> so, no one knows if you can share a scanner over the network?
[10:44] <shinobi2> Madpilot: say what?
[10:44] <Laocoon> Byan I might be able to help you
[10:45] <Byan> Laocoon: well, how can I? I have an HP officejet that works with scanimage.
[10:45] <Byan> and I have CUPS working, so I can print from my XP machine
[10:45] <Laocoon> Byan: same here, and it's working!
[10:46] <Madpilot> shinobi2, whatever major version of (for example) vim Ubuntu 6.06.1 has, it will stay with, except for security updates
[10:46] <holy_cow> you will haveto upgrade to the next version when its released to get those packages
[10:47] <frogzoo> I'm experiencing problems creating an LVM volume from the installer, something problem with accessing md2/xx/yyy - does the installer typically do LVM on top of raid (1) properly?
[10:47] <Laocoon> Byan, not registered, huh? ;) Ok, here is the deal: in the /etc/sane.d/saned.conf, add the network mask for your local network.
[10:47] <Byan> Laocoon: just wan't identified

[10:52] <kj-ro> HEEEELP ..... i lost my MBR i think... GRUB hangs ... i see on the entire screen only: GRUB        writen in the upper left corner .. and nothing starts.. i am on liv cd right now...
[10:53] <kj-ro> what to do ???
[10:53] <kj-ro> *live cd*
[10:53] <rosen37> mmp: Ok I found , I needed to add domain mydomain.com in the resolv.conf
[10:54] <kj-ro> i try to do grub-install /dev/hda    -> but i get this: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[10:55] <drumline_> kj-ro: you've googled "repair grub" ?
[10:55] <J-_> can I gksudo my server's LAN ip so i can have root priviledges? lol, *shakes fist @ putty* =D man i'm stoked about connecting into ssh... probably not that big of a deal
[10:55] <kj-ro> yeha.. it says to do the above...
[10:55] <kj-ro> but grub-install is not working...
[10:55] <kj-ro> even if i use hd0
[10:56] <kj-ro> fdisk -l list's me all the partitions.. and they seem to be marked with * ... (boot flag) .... and i gave a check and thay are ok
[10:57] <kj-ro> i even mounted them ... and nothing wrong... so my conclusion : MRB fck-up
[10:57] <kj-ro> then i try grub-install ... and it's not working.... maybe i am missing something....
[10:57] <mariogdlt> hiii

[10:58] <tonyyarusso> Hi mariogdlt
[10:59] <mariogdlt> hi tonyyarusso
[10:59] <POVaddct> kj-ro: you must chroot to your mounted root filesystem and then run grub-install.
[10:59] <holy_cow> mariogdlt, probably in .amarok
[10:59] <mariogdlt> nooo
[10:59] <mariogdlt> i have restored it
[10:59] <holy_cow> open up nautilus, go to your home dir and hit ctrl/h
[10:59] <mariogdlt> all the covers where restored
[10:59] <tonyyarusso> mariogdlt: I'm not familiar with amarok, but I'd start by grepping around where holy_cow said
[10:59] <holy_cow> ah, well then
[10:59] <mariogdlt> but not this
[10:59] <mariogdlt> i'll do
[10:59] <mariogdlt> wait

[11:03] <holy_cow> that stuff is usually in .applicationname
[11:03] <holy_cow> mariogdlt, if the files aren't there they aren't there :/
[11:03] <mariogdlt> no, i have problems with my lyrics and i make sometimes backups with a own script
[11:03] <mariogdlt> yes all files aren't there
[11:03] <holy_cow> there is the odd possibility that despite restoring .appfile, the app won't recognize them
[11:04] <mariogdlt> rare
[11:04] <mariogdlt> ahhh
[11:04] <kj-ro> POVadct: still not working
[11:04] <mariogdlt> i didn't know
[11:04] <kj-ro> grub-install --root-directory=/boot --recheck /dev/sda
[11:04] <kj-ro> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[11:04] <kj-ro> /dev/sda: Not found or not a block device.
[11:05] <POVaddct> kj-ro: before going to the chroot environment, do sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mntpointofyourroot/dev
[11:05] <Weber> Would someone please help me fix my fps drop in full screen 3D games ?
[11:06] <O2> hello, can we use debian's software directly?
[11:06] <kj-ro> aha...
[11:06] <AWOSDev> O2 Nooooooooo!    :P
[11:06] <POVaddct> kj-ro: /dev is populated by udev, and udev is running only on the live-cd's /dev directory now
[11:07] <kj-ro> yeah that i found out.. but didn;t know how to deal whit it...
[11:07] <POVaddct> kj-ro: so the bind mount let the /dev content appear in the chrooted env. as well
[11:07] <mariogdlt> i cannot find anything, i will ask for this in the support ok amarok
[11:07] <holy_cow> mariogdlt, just thinkin about your problem you say you have backups
[11:07] <mariogdlt> ok
[11:07] <holy_cow> mariogdlt, surely the backups contain the files, and you should be able to serach the backups directly in some fashion, no?
[11:07] <AWOSDev> mariogdlt, try #amarok
[11:07] <mariogdlt> yes i thy but...
[11:08] <xavier> can someone help me open the HTTP port? am using Guard Dog.. i cannot access the WWW since i installed guard dog.. only the IRC works
[11:08] <AWOSDev> !ask
[11:08] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:08] <mariogdlt> when i restore a backup all my lyrics wwhere ok
[11:08] <AWOSDev> not the right one...
[11:08] <mariogdlt> but not now
[11:08] <kj-ro> still i get the error whit not found not a block device..
[11:08] <Weber> I have just installed automatix2 wich installed the nvidia driver for my GeForce4 Ti4200. And then I installed cedega. There I tested my graphic card for 3D acceleration (passed) and OpenGL Direct Rendering (passed). So then I installed counter-strike. BUt when I go into the game, I just get big fps drops. Does anyone know what I can do about this ?
[11:08] <mariogdlt> 'cos the lyrics must be in another place
[11:08] <cypher1_> what do i achieve by enabling UPnP in my router ?
[11:09] <AWOSDev> cypher1_ Hackers.
[11:09] <AWOSDev> XD
[11:09] <coulix> anyone tryied to install netbeans from their website ? the /netbeans-5_5-rc1-linux.bin ?
[11:09] <POVaddct> AWOSDev: hehe, right
[11:09] <cypher1_> AWOSDev, Hackers ?
[11:09] <AWOSDev> cypher1_ yes, UPnP is a hacker's dream come true.
[11:09] <coulix> it scans for a java jdk comlains there is none and quit ...
[11:09] <jpjacobs> do i need the alternative install cd for a server install ? or is it also possible with the desktop livecd?
[11:09] <Rur0un1> cyphase, normally routers do not allow inbound traffic. But this brings a problem like, IM programs like MSN does not work correctly
[11:09] <cypher1_> AWOSDev, ok :) thanks
[11:09] <POVaddct> cypher1_: UPnP is insecure by design. don't use it.
[11:09] <coulix> but i have two jdk installed the default one and sun's
[11:09] <cypher1_> POVaddct, ok :)
[11:09] <kj-ro> wait .. mount didn't worked
[11:09] <AWOSDev> Hehe
[11:10] <POVaddct> kj-ro: error message?
[11:10] <POVaddct> kj-ro: if it is longer, don't paste it here
[11:10] <Rur0un1> cyphase, to overcome this UPNP automatically opens the ports for once when needed. Other wise you may not be able to video or voice chat nor file transfers for some IM like MSN
[11:11] <Rur0un1> Security of UPNP is a controversial subject
[11:11] <cyphase> Rur0un1: you mean cypher1
[11:11] <mariogdlt> tonyyarusso and holy_cow, thanks for the help
[11:11] <cyphase> Rur0un1: you mean cypher1_
[11:11] <kj-ro> POVaddct: The file /boot/boot/grub/stage2 not read correctly.
[11:11] <Rur0un1> sorry yes I meant cypher1
[11:11] <holy_cow> mariogdlt, no prob, best of luck
[11:11] <POVaddct> kj-ro: do you have /boot on a separate partition?
[11:11] <mariogdlt> thanks a lot
[11:11] <Rur0un1> cypher1, to overcome this UPNP automatically opens the ports for once when needed. Other wise you may not be able to video or voice chat nor file transfers for some IM like MSN
[11:12] <kj-ro> no
[11:12] <cypher1_> Rur0un1, thanks
[11:12] <POVaddct> kj-ro: anyway, the path /boot/boot/... seems to be wrong
[11:12] <kj-ro> i have installed ubuntu to 1 partition
[11:12] <kj-ro> oppa...
[11:12] <POVaddct> kj-ro: can you read/write irc queries?
[11:12] <kj-ro> yeah your right
[11:12] <cypher1_> i was looking at the UPnP plugin in Ktorrent.. that lead me to the one in router
[11:13] <kj-ro> irc queries ... ? what's that
[11:13] <AWOSDev> that's /msg nick message.
[11:13] <kj-ro> ok it worked i ges
[11:13] <kj-ro> i restart to see
[11:18] <KJ-ro> OHHHH YESSS  it worked THX POVaddct !!!!
[11:18] <POVaddct> KJ-ro: cool :)
[11:18] <andruk> Hello, I am trying to get xgl working on ubuntu dapper.  I have followed the howto at http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopic.php?t=2189, and have gotten throgh the ATi driver setup (I have a Radeon 9000).  He says the quality of the display should be improved after a reboot, but it's not.  My screen is all washed out (and its not the brightness level on my monitor either).  Can anybody...
[11:18] <andruk> ...point me to a good guide or walkthrough for getting xgl setup?
[11:18] <KJ-ro> now i am off... see ya..
[11:19] <Flannel> andruk: #ubuntu-xgl for XGL questions
[11:19] <andruk> thx
[11:20] <Leumas> hey, i'm trying to connect to a linux samba share using a windows computer, and it says i don't have permissions. How do i set permissions for samba access in Ubuntu?
[11:21] <Leumas> ("linux samba" seems redundant)
[11:21] <Flannel> !tell Leumas about samba
[11:21] <AWOSDev> Leumas try typing "man smb.conf" on the Konsole
[11:21] <AWOSDev> :)
[11:21] <Leumas> i looked in there, didn't see anything about permissions
[11:21] <v-man-1> Leumas: on the share, you have to set read priviledges for other users
[11:21] <Flannel> Leumas: read the link the bot sent you
[11:22] <v-man-1> so say your share is called 'warez', you would type chmod -R o+r warez to give recursive read rights to all other users for that share
[11:22] <Axord> !tell Axord about samba
[11:22] <EVRAMP> !tell EVRAMP about samba
[11:22] <AWOSDev> Hehe, share name warez, LOL
[11:22] <v-man-1> thats what mine is called
[11:23] <AWOSDev> It's funny because it's true!
[11:23] <Axord> Mmmm delicious documentation.
[11:24] <coulix> i forgot how do we switch java version, something alternative command.
[11:24] <POVaddct> coulix: update-alternatives
[11:25] <coulix> thanks :)

[11:29] <Uzzi> I have a Pentium 133 with 38ram, I want to try ubuntu lite, but I'have not boot from cd support
[11:30] <AWOSDev> I have a Penitum 100 with 40MB RAM and I run FreeBSD 4.10

[11:30] <AWOSDev> even runs Firefox....slllooowwwwwlllyyyy
[11:30] <POVaddct> Uzzi: take a look at smart boot manager (sbm)
[11:30] <AWOSDev> holy_cow I know :)
[11:30] <frogzoo> doesn't look like the dapper install will allow creating an LVM volume inside a raid 0 volume
[11:30] <Flannel> frogzoo: grab the Alternate ISO
[11:30] <frogzoo> Flannel: I'm running text install from the DVD
[11:30] <Uzzi> POVaddct, tnks

[11:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about multi monitor - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:31] <Flannel> !tell Axord about xinerama
[11:31] <Axord> Oooh
[11:31] <Uzzi> It's possible to use X on that machine?
[11:31] <POVaddct> Uzzi: i think 38mb is too few memory for that
[11:31] <frogzoo> AWOSDev: disabled ipv6 dns in ff ?
[11:31] <AWOSDev> ?
[11:32] <AWOSDev> Uzzi, yes it's possible!
[11:32] <Uzzi> good
[11:32] <Flannel> !tell AWOSDev about ipv6
[11:32] <POVaddct> Uzzi: but i don't know which window manager / desktop environment ubuntu lite is using
[11:32] <teferra> i rearranged my paritions. the partition numbers are changed. any way to get my system back without reinstalling?
[11:32] <AWOSDev> Why does everybody critisise me for using a P100!
[11:32] <Leumas> how do i restart a daemon?
[11:32] <AWOSDev> Oh you weren't?
[11:32] <Uzzi> fluxbox
[11:32] <AWOSDev> I used fvwm95 on my P100 :)
[11:32] <Leumas> without shutting down?
[11:32] <POVaddct> Uzzi: okay, and which kernel?
[11:33] <POVaddct> AWOSDev: but certainly on a older distro
[11:33] <Uzzi> this i don't know
[11:33] <Dybber> Hi!, I have a problem with my network connection. It doesnt work when I start Ubuntu, I need to go to network-preferences and disable and reenable it.
[11:33] <AWOSDev> POVaddct, FreeBSD 4.10 (circa 1999) actually
[11:33] <POVaddct> AWOSDev: try to run a 2.6 kernel and recent Xorg on such a machine. it will fail.
[11:33] <ubund> zeluu to wiesz jak z ta orientacja u mnie?
[11:33] <POVaddct> AWOSDev: or at least it will swap itself to death
[11:33] <deltab> teferra: what problems is that causing?
[11:33] <AWOSDev> POVaddct, that's my next project, even got a 6GB HD to try it out!
[11:34] <AWOSDev> Let me hear a w00t from all the people with old computers and proud!
[11:34] <Uzzi> 850mb hd
[11:34] <ubund> how to change orientation from horizontal to vertical in xsane?
[11:34] <AWOSDev> 770MB HD original factory
[11:34] <deltab> Leumas: which one?
[11:34] <Leumas> smbd
[11:34] <POVaddct> Uzzi: i'd try damn small linux, vector linux or something similar on that machine
[11:34] <Leumas> samba
[11:34] <POVaddct> Uzzi: something kernel 2.4 based
[11:35] <Uzzi> dsl---->kernel panic
[11:35] <deltab> Leumas: is it in System/Administration/Services?
[11:35] <POVaddct> Uzzi: well, dsl being a live cd does need some ram for its ramdisk
[11:36] <Leumas> yup
[11:36] <teferra> deltab: grub. I gave grub the new partition number and it did boot, but after what it seems starting the kernel it failes. i get an error message with the old partition number.
[11:36] <Leumas> ha, don't worry, i got it i think
[11:36] <Leumas> thanks
[11:36] <deltab> what error?
[11:36] <AWOSDev> Well I'm gonna try and run Kubuntu on my P100
[11:36] <Leumas> what is Kubuntu?
[11:36] <AWOSDev> I'll report back tomorrow with a "help!  Kubuntu won't run on a P100!" message :)
[11:36] <deltab> Leumas: Ubunutu with KDE
[11:36] <AWOSDev> !kubuntu
[11:36] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment. For more info see http://kubuntu.org for support: #kubuntu ; to install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:36] <POVaddct> AWOSDev: hehe
[11:36] <frogzoo> Leumas: ubuntu with kde as default
[11:36] <Leumas> aaaah, k
[11:37] <CoOlGhOsT> what to do to get the files in a deb listed?
[11:37] <teferra> detab: i have to go back and start it. But is there a way to restore grub first with the new partition numbers.
[11:38] <dyl> hi all
[11:38] <AWOSDev> Well g'night all
[11:38] <AWOSDev> 5:36am EDT = bedtime :)
[11:38] <dyl> is it possible to update ubuntu from a live cd
[11:38] <dyl> erm ubuntu = breezy
[11:38] <POVaddct> Uzzi: i have an older version of dsl here, just trying to boot in qemu with 38mb ram. hmm, no luck, kernel panic too...
[11:38] <jpjacobs> hi! How do i resize the default ugly ubuntu-vc to some reasonable resolution?
[11:38] <Flannel> dyl: no
[11:38] <ubund> zeluu nie dziala tak
[11:38] <deltab> teferra: you can change the partition grub boots from, yes
[11:38] <Flannel> dyl: only the alternate can be used as a repository
[11:38] <dyl> fuck ok thanks
[11:39] <dyl> ok
[11:39] <CoOlGhOsT> more correctly.... how do I list the files in a package thats in a reposotory?
[11:39] <AWOSDev> !language
[11:39] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:39] <dyl> ill mess around with it
[11:39] <Uzzi> mmmmmmmm
[11:39] <deltab> teferra: to access the filesystems, change the device names in /etc/fstab or better yet use labels
[11:40] <Flannel> CoOlGhOsT: packages.ubuntu.com
[11:40] <CoOlGhOsT> Flannel: no way of doing it with a apt-* tool?
[11:40] <teferra> deltab: thanx i will try that and come back
[11:41] <deltab> teferra: do you know how to?
[11:41] <AWOSDev> Well g'night all
[11:41] <Flannel> CoOlGhOsT: not without installing first
[11:41] <POVaddct> gn8 AWOSDev
[11:41] <teferra> delatab: livecd?
[11:41] <Bassetts> what would you guys do with a 166MHz 64mb laptop?
[11:41] <CoOlGhOsT> Flannel: any reason why it is so??? RPM does this and is somewhat inferior to apt-* in my opinion
[11:42] <deltab> teferra: yes; then you can mount the partition with /etc manually
[11:42] <frogzoo> Bassetts: that'll run fine in text mode
[11:42] <POVaddct> Bassetts: run it as a wlan fake hotspot :)
[11:42] <Flannel> CoOlGhOsT: because the package info isn't downloaded beforehand.  You could download the package and it'll tell you.  but not while it's 'just' in the repository
[11:42] <Bassetts> POVaddct, how would that be useful?? =S
[11:43] <Bassetts> frogzoo, cool, would give me experience with the terminal
[11:43] <Byan> can someone tell me how to use fax on linux? HPLIP supports it
[11:43] <deltab> teferra: use  e2label /dev/hda2 whatever  to label partitions, and  LABEL=whatever  in place of the device name in /etc/fstab
[11:43] <POVaddct> Bassetts: for catching curious wlan "hackers"
[11:43] <CoOlGhOsT> Flannel: OK... I'll use the metadata on packages.ubuntu.com.. Thanks :-)
[11:44] <deltab> teferra: and you may have to edit /etc/grub.conf and run grub to make it boot without a live cd
[11:44] <teferra> deltab: thanx.  I wil
[11:45] <teferra> deltab: that is a lot info. is there any where i can read about this process
[11:45] <webben> I'd like it to have a easy key combination i can press to get curly quotes just like on the Mac in all gnome apps... has anyone got any idea (or even better know a howto) for how to do that?
[11:46] <frogzoo> webben: xev & xmodmap
[11:46] <J-_> why would i need a DNS server running on a LAMP server?
[11:46] <Flannel> J-_: you don't
[11:46] <J-_> Flannel: what would be the purpose?
[11:46] <frogzoo> J-_: you don't
[11:46] <deltab> J-_: a caching resolver or a content server?
[11:47] <J-_> content server (personal website)
[11:47] <frogzoo> J-_: though it would speed up redirects
[11:48] <deltab> frogzoo: how?
[11:48] <martianul`> hello
[11:48] <martianul`> i have a little question , if someone have some time :P
[11:49] <Uzzi> sigh smbk bad!
[11:50] <J-_> so just leave the dns server out i guess? it says to install it in this tutorial i'm using as a guide, http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06
[11:51] <Flannel> J-_: That 'howto' is really poor
[11:51] <frogzoo> J-_: for a low traffic setup, you don't need a dns server
[11:51] <Bassetts> frogzoo, how would i just install the text mode? I have only ever used the desktop version
[11:51] <Flannel> !tell J-_ about lamp
[11:51] <martianul`> hello :D
[11:52] <J-_> the howto might be poor, but I go apache running from it =D
[11:52] <frogzoo> Bassetts: do a server install I think
[11:52] <TheGateKeeper> martianul`: just ask your question
[11:52] <Bassetts> ok
[11:52] <Flannel> J-_: THAT howto is better.  coupled with one of the mail server howtos, you'll be setup.  But yeah, that howto forge one gets away from the ubuntu way of doing some stuff
[11:52] <Flannel> J-_: read the ubuntu howto, it tells you everything you need
[11:52] <martianul`> i have ubuntu 6.06 and someone tells me that this version of ubuntu works on a 2 Gb hdd
[11:52] <martianul`> si i try to install it on 2 Gb hdd and at 75% it tells me that is no more space
[11:53] <martianul`> how can i make it to install on a 2 Gb hdd?
[11:53] <J-_> where is the ubuntu howto located?
[11:53] <TheGateKeeper> martianul`: the install takes a minimum of 4Gb with a desktop
[11:53] <frogzoo> !lamp > J-_
[11:53] <J-_> thanks
[11:53] <martianul`> wow, so i must get a bigger hdd? :(
[11:54] <martianul`> someone tells me that ubuntu with all what you need , needs a 1 gb hdd :D
[11:54] <TheGateKeeper> martianul`: you might be able to run a version without a desktop (or possible using fluxbox not sure) on 2Gb
[11:54] <martianul`> okay, so how i can install ubuntu with no desktop?
[11:55] <TheGateKeeper> martianul`: without a desktop maybe
[11:55] <Flannel> martianul`: grab the alternate ISO, type "server" at the boot prompt
[11:55] <TheGateKeeper> martianul`: use the server version
[11:55] <Flannel> TheGateKeeper: no, not the server version
[11:55] <martianul`> aaaaa ...
[11:55] <martianul`> so i must get a bigger hdd
[11:55] <Flannel> martianul`: essentially, yes.
[11:55] <TheGateKeeper> martianul`: yep the alternative cd sorry
[11:56] <martianul`> but i can`t choose what program to install and what program to not install?
[11:56] <J-_> i'll know next time to use that tutorial, but for now til i mess up this server i'm going to use the tutorial i've been using =D i just need to get it running smoothly.. thanks for the help though, always appreciated
[11:56] <Flannel> martianul`: if you install the alternate/GUI less one, yes you can
[11:56] <martianul`> because i see that it installs games and programs that i don`t need :D
[11:56] <Flannel> martianul`: you'll just install them one at a time
[11:56] <Flannel> martianul`: although, I'm still not sure it'll all fit
[11:57] <martianul`> so with my cd i can`t remove the programs that i don`t need ?
[11:57] <Flannel> martianul`: only after the install.  so no
[11:57] <martianul`> of
[11:57] <martianul`> and the alternate cd? which one is it? :D
[11:57] <Flannel> martianul`: the "alternate" instead of the "desktop"
[11:58] <martianul`> and with the alternate version i  can choose what programs to install? before installing? :D
[11:58] <J-_> can't believe i was with windows for so long, man was i missing something!(linux)
[11:58] <Flannel> martianul`: no, you'll install the base system (type "server" at the first prompt) then you'll install stuff manually after its all setup
[11:59] <martianul`> so after i install alternate, it will be with no desktop? just console? :D
[11:59] <TheGateKeeper> yep
[11:59] <Flannel> martianul`: right.  then you'll add a desktop
[11:59] <martianul`> okay, thanks :D
[11:59] <notwist> Hey, I'm trying to share some folders via SMB to my Xbox. Problem is the only thing being shared is the folder itself, not all the folders beneath it. So, how do I make SMB understand that I want to share the _entire_ folder + subfolders?
[11:59] <martianul`> i`ll try later with a bigger hdd :)
[12:00] <martianul`> thanks ;)
[12:00] <notwist> It requires a logon as soon as i hit a subfolder
[12:00] <martianul`> have a nice day
[12:00] <TheGateKeeper> martianul`: buy a cheep computer for 30 then you can install a desktop version no problem
[12:00] <TheGateKeeper> damn too late...
[12:00] <isolationx> hi
[12:01] <joris> how do i turn the sounds on the inlog screen off? System -> preferences -> sound doesn't turn this off....?
[12:01] <joris> any idea
[12:02] <isolationx> go to sounds, and turn it off
[12:02] <slackern> System->Admin->Login Window or something like that

[12:05] <notwist> Hey, I'm trying to share some folders via SMB to my Xbox. Problem is the only thing being shared is the folder itself, not all the folders beneath it. So, how do I make SMB understand that I want to share the _entire_ folder + subfolders?
[12:05] <NEw1> I am trying to use SWAT to modify samaba (Trying to create a PDC) and looking at the HOWTOs there were no buttons displayed other than HOME STATUS VIEW PASSWORD and nothign else to make changes.. the wizard woudl be nice.  is there somethign I shoudl be doing?
[12:06] <acke1> hey where do i find the loginwindows config file? where I can configure options for using gnome kde or other windowsmanagers?
[12:06] <davvs> is there any command to convert from hex to dec?
[12:06] <davvs> in the commandline that is
[12:07] <blujay> How can I capture a child process's PID in a Bash script?
[12:08] <tonyyarusso> acke1: Would be easier to just use the Sessions menu in gdm I would think.
[12:08] <acke1> tonyyarusso: well thats prolly what i am after.. where to find it?
[12:09] <acke1> i had to compile my own fluxbox. cause i didnt get a menu from the deb package
[12:10] <acke1> and i would want to select it from the sessions menu
[12:10] <NEw1> how do I change SWAT to be more than just a config viewer and enable me to edit and configure?
[12:11] <tonyyarusso> acke1: When you first start up the box, or log out, the screen asking for username and password to log in has a button on the bottom, and under Sessions there you can choose any environment installed.  If you choose one other than the current default for that user, it will ask if you want to set it as default or use it once only.
[12:12] <acke1> tonyyarusso: thanks. it will work even if i compiled fluxbox myself?
[12:13] <tonyyarusso> acke1: That I'm not sure of, since I've never done it, but if not you could do it manually, it's just that that would be more work.  If you're the type to compile though, I'd imagine you can figure that out okay if it is necessary.
[12:14] <acke1> tonyyarusso: yeah im asking about the configfiles needed to manually config it. ;)
[12:15] <acke1> ive done it before.. but my memory is very bad. but when thinking about it. i vaguely remeber doing that when installing e17
[12:15] <acke1> ;)
[12:15] <tonyyarusso> acke1: Stop talking circles around me!  (Sorry, it's really late...)  Um,

[12:29] <acke1> tonyyarusso: worked great thanks. the paths was wrong. but i figured it out.. thanks alot. sry but i have one more n00b question. how do i do rmdir folder, when folder isnt empty.
[12:29] <acke1> :()
[12:31] <acke1> i havent figured it out. and i am always cheating.. >P
[12:31] <tonyyarusso> acke1: There's an option for that, you can check the rmdir man, but I think it's (honestly) --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
[12:31] <tonyyarusso> Crazy long switch
[12:31] <POVaddct> acke1: man rm, look for options -r and -f
[12:31] <acke1> tonyyarusso: i did but heey yeah i saw that switch there got to be an easyier switch.

[12:35] <jimdaniels> ubutom: as i said it comes each time i start synaptic. i did config like 4 times now!
[12:35] <TheGateKeeper> J-_: sound like: msysqadmin -u [password you use to log into linux as root]  [password you use to log into myssql]

[01:01] <noobie0057> hi, I'm having trouble playing a dvd,, I rented it from blockbuster,, it has an exe file on it ??
[01:02] <frogzoo> damn pastebin's slow
[01:02] <jerns1> noobie0057: if it's a DVD it should have a VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directory as well
[01:03] <pontusen> frogzoo, want another pastebin?
[01:03] <noobie0057> it has that,, in it there is a VOB file,, it is corrupted when I play it
[01:04] <pontusen> frogzoo, http://pastebin.ca/203730
[01:04] <frogzoo> EndSection
[01:04] <jerns1> noobie0057: you don't open the vobs usually
[01:04] <jerns1> your DVD player should handle it wit no problem
[01:04] <jerns1> if you have DVD support installed
[01:04] <noobie0057> jerns1: I didn't know what it was, so just tried it
[01:04] <pontusen> frogzoo, talking to me? What about endsection?
[01:04] <noobie0057> jerns1: Usually when I insert a DVD MPlayer starts playing it
[01:05] <noobie0057> jerns1: Now it won't, when I open MPlayer it can play the first 13 seconds then it goes black. MPlayer is not crashed,, it seems like it can't go to the next chapter
[01:05] <Kubu> hello
[01:06] <Kubu> does anyone use ndiswrapper in edgy?
[01:06] <frogzoo> pontusen: you want 3 lines  "        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"  &&            Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"  &&           Option      "Resolution" "800"
[01:06] <jerns1> what about totem ?
[01:07] <jerns1> or ogle
[01:07] <noobie0057> I'm confused about MPlayer and totem,, I thought they were the same,, VLC can't play it either
[01:08] <mart_> hi, can anyone help me with a sound problem
[01:08] <mart_> trying to play sounds in a game while talking on teamspeak.
[01:08] <mart_> found a way of enabling it, but get permission denied when i type the code
[01:09] <mart_>  sudo echo 'RedOchestra.exe 0 0 direct' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
[01:09] <jerns1> mplayer is not the same as totem at all
[01:09] <xav> mart_, you can't use sudo there
[01:09] <mart_> ah..
[01:09] <xav> mart_, sudo sh -c "echo ... > ..."
[01:10] <xav> mart_, which snd card?
[01:10] <mart_> in built
[01:10] <marchello> hi there !!
[01:10] <mart_> on an asus motherboard
[01:10] <xav> mart_, oh wait
[01:10] <xav> mart_, games sound work fine without teamspeak?
[01:10] <mart_> yep
[01:10] <mart_> then when teamspeak is running
[01:10] <mart_> it takes over
[01:10] <xav> mart_, this command is not for this problem
[01:10] <pontusen> frogzoo, thanks, will try that now!
[01:10] <marchello> hi someone can help me?
[01:10] <xav> I don't think so at least
[01:11] <noobie0057> jerns1: Is it a matter of finding a player that can understand the new copywrite? (btw the root directory has a file dvd_rom.exe)
[01:11] <mart_> lol, ive been looking for a week and though id finally found something
[01:11] <marchello> hi someone can help me? i need help for one driver ....
[01:11] <jerns1> noobie0057: if you can play other DVDs and not this one it mnight use a new protection scheme that I'm not aware of
[01:11] <xav> mart_, what does red orchestra and teamspeak use for sound?
[01:12] <xav> mart_, they don't work with alsa?
[01:12] <mart_> i belive they use alsa
[01:12] <mart_> I checked and i am running alsa
[01:12] <mart_> when i run any game it works fine
[01:12] <xav> the apps need to support it
[01:12] <xav> otherwise it uses oss emulation
[01:12] <noobie0057> jerns1: thanks for your help. Is there some linux community I should post this to?
[01:12] <mart_> right, im running red orchestra through wine
[01:13] <xav> with oss emulation, I don't think several apps can use sound
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: winecfg
[01:13] <mart_> it does play sound when teamspeak isnt running
[01:13] <xav> oh
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> set it to use alsa
[01:13] <xav> red orchestra doesnt work natively?
[01:13] <mart_> nope
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> no
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> needs wine
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> also
[01:13] <mart_> runs through steam
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> you have an onboard card?
[01:13] <mart_> yep
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> prolly why
[01:13] <xav> what about teamspeak?
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> I'm betting...
[01:13] <Shadowpillar_> ich?
[01:13] <mart_> teamspeak sound is perfect
[01:14] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: lspci | grep ICH <-- tell me if something comes up
[01:14] <xav> Shadowpillar_, you should be able to use dmix in any case
[01:14] <xav> as long as all apps are using alsa
[01:14] <mart_> no
[01:14] <Shadowpillar_> xav: what I was just getting to
[01:15] <Shadowpillar_> xav: I can use dmix with oss emulation as well
[01:15] <Shadowpillar_> it's possible
[01:15] <Shadowpillar_> it's surround that's the bitch.
[01:15] <mart_> 2 Shi**y old speakers here
[01:15] <mart_> closest i get to surround is turning my head real fast :P
[01:16] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: lspci | grep audio
[01:16] <xav> Shadowpillar_, oh sorry, I didn't know that worked
[01:16] <mart_> 0000:00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)
[01:16] <xav> I thought it was the problem
[01:17] <xav> what's the problem is oss emulation works with dmix then?
[01:17] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: is the kernel module snd_intel8x0 loaded?
[01:17] <xav> Shadowpillar_, what card do you have?
[01:17] <Shadowpillar_> onboard
[01:17] <mart_> how do i check?
[01:17] <mart_> sorry, im very new to linux
[01:17] <xav> Shadowpillar_, and it works for you?
[01:17] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: lsmod | grep intel8x0
[01:17] <mart_> steep learning curve
[01:17] <Shadowpillar_> xav: yeah some .asoundrc hackery
[01:17] <xav> well that's what he needs then
[01:18] <mart_> a list comes up when i type that
[01:18] <mart_> looks like its being used
[01:18] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: you're using wine, right?
[01:18] <mart_> yes
[01:18] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: yeah you havet he same sound chip as I
[01:18] <Shadowpillar_> have the*
[01:18] <mart_> sweet
[01:18] <mart_> bonus :)
[01:18] <xav> mart_, yep that's probably the one you're using
[01:18] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: set the audio driver to alsa with winecfg
[01:19] <Shadowpillar_> type winecfg
[01:19] <Shadowpillar_> and go to the audio tab
[01:19] <mart_> right
[01:19] <mart_> ah...
[01:19] <mart_> right
[01:19] <xav> Shadowpillar_, please explain me
[01:19] <quantik> I have a problem: i must recompile a kernel with gcc 2.95, but in the packages repositories, it only exists in i386, but I have an Athlon64, and the amd64 version of ubuntu installed. What can I do?
[01:19] <mart_> ahh its got oss ticked
[01:19] <xav> you said oss emulation worked with dmix
[01:19] <Shadowpillar_> yeah
[01:19] <xav> so?
[01:19] <xav> he doesn't need to change
[01:20] <Shadowpillar_> xav: best to use alsa with wine
[01:20] <xav> besides, wine sometimes (often?) works better with oss than alsa for some reason
[01:20] <xav> that's a bit stupid though, because it's still using alsa in the end (oss emulation). but that's the way it is
[01:20] <bintut> hello all..
[01:20] <bintut> anyone running amd64 here?
[01:20] <mart_> yes
[01:20] <Shadowpillar_> but you have a layer to go through with the oss emulation
[01:21] <Shadowpillar_> more overhead
[01:21] <xav> probably right
[01:21] <Shadowpillar_> bintut: yeah
[01:21] <bintut> i'm wondering why ubuntu amd64 on my amd turion64 laptop is very, very slow..
[01:21] <noobie0057> thanks
[01:21] <quantik> can someone help me with gcc 2.95 please?
[01:21] <Shadowpillar_> bintut: what are the exact symptoms?
[01:21] <mart_> ive ticked alsa, gonna go give it a try
[01:21] <jerns1> does someone know how to fix this: I have some divx's and DVDs that have AC3 sound. The problem is that I have only two speakers and that I only hear the surround sound and not the center channel so that I have no voices...
[01:21] <bintut> Shadowpillar_: just slow
[01:22] <Shadowpillar_> bintut: define slow, slow as in apps take a while to load, or slow as in it's slow to respond?
[01:22] <Shadowpillar_> or all of the above
[01:22] <bintut> all of the above
[01:23] <bintut> i only experience this with ubuntu
[01:23] <bintut> but with other distro, this is fast
[01:23] <Shadowpillar_> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
[01:23] <Shadowpillar_> see how fast the cpu is running out
[01:23] <Shadowpillar_> might have to do with the powernowd daemon
[01:23] <xav> bintut, is it slow since the beginning?
[01:24] <Shadowpillar_> at*
[01:24] <Shadowpillar_> sleeping pills tend to make me a bit bleh
[01:24] <notwist> how come i get no sound in flash-based video (like youtube) but in xmms and everything else?
[01:24] <Shadowpillar_> onboard sound?
[01:24] <quantik> can someone help me with gcc 2.95 please?
[01:24] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: yeah, its on my mobo
[01:24] <Shadowpillar_> no multiplexing
[01:25] <Shadowpillar_> er
[01:25] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: meaning?
[01:25] <Shadowpillar_> no hardware mixing
[01:25] <Shadowpillar_> install aoss
[01:25] <notwist> it's a package?
[01:25] <Shadowpillar_> yeah
[01:25] <xav> why can't they use your .asoundrc ?
[01:25] <Shadowpillar_> because it isnt fool-proof
[01:25] <notwist> I'm a noob, I have no idea what you're talking about
[01:25] <Shadowpillar_> also, I tried sending it
[01:26] <Shadowpillar_> slow down damnit, one at a time
[01:26] <notwist> i thought xav was talking to me
[01:26] <notwist> nevermind
[01:26] <Shadowpillar_> anyway sudo apt-get install aoss
[01:26] <jolantal> hi all i have problems configuring wine, is there anyone to help me?
[01:26] <notwist> This package contains a program loader, aoss, which wraps
[01:26] <notwist> applications written for OSS in a compatibility library,
[01:26] <notwist> thus allowing them to work with ALSA.
[01:26] <notwist> it's in synaptic
[01:27] <bintut> Shadowpillar_: 1800
[01:27] <fliegenderfrosch> where has the "Disks" program of gnome gone in edgy?
[01:27] <xav> anyway
[01:27] <xav> if teamspeak doesn't support alsa, making wine use alsa won't solve the problem
[01:27] <bintut> xav: yes. slow after my first restart
[01:27] <xav> from various forum report, it doesn't seem it support alsa. or maybe the support is recent?
[01:27] <Shadowpillar_> bintut: type "uptime"
[01:27] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:28] <notwist> i have closed down xmms and firefox and everything
[01:28] <dany-r5> hi everyone, could someone help an ubuntu newbie with a problem?
[01:28] <notwist> i only have gaim running
[01:28] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: install it
[01:28] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: ...i cant, i get an erorr?
[01:28] <SmartUnix> Hello

[01:28] <camer0n> quick question about apache2 ... wondering where i set the default filetype aka html to htm or php, etc?

[01:29] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: then after it does its thing, sudo pico /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
[01:29] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: because synaptic is running ;)
[01:29] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: as long as you have synaptic running, install it with that
[01:29] <nick|here> which ncurses packages needed for menuconfig?
[01:29] <Gothica> hi people! Does anybody knows who to leave root session and return to "user" mode, after command "sudo -i" in UBUNTU?
[01:29] <Shadowpillar_> bintut: odd, nothing seems to be putting load on the system
[01:30] <dany-r5> someone could help me with the instalation of build-essential, please?
[01:30] <Ropechoborra> How do i install a .deb package from a terminal?
[01:30] <Shadowpillar_> I dunno what to tell you
[01:30] <camer0n> quick question about apache2 ... wondering where i set the default filetype aka html to htm or php, etc?
[01:30] <Shadowpillar_> Gothica: exit?
[01:30] <xav> nick|here, libncurses dev or something
[01:30] <Gothica> Shadowpillar_ yes
[01:30] <camer0n> have been looking around the config files but nothing at the moment
[01:30] <Shadowpillar_> Ropechoborra: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[01:30] <notwist> Gothica: i think he means the command "exit"
[01:30] <Ropechoborra> Thanks! =)
[01:30] <Shadowpillar_> Gothica: I mean, type "exit"
[01:30] <Shadowpillar_> type the word
[01:30] <Shadowpillar_> voila
[01:31] <xav> bintut, wow thats a huge load
[01:31] <Gothica> Shadowpillar_, hm-m thx
[01:31] <Gothica> i 'll try it
[01:31] <[h] tony|afk> moin
[01:31] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: so did you install aoss?
[01:31] <xav> wow there were way too many questions
[01:31] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: gedit works fine instead of pico, right?
[01:31] <notwist> doing it now
[01:31] <kiran> Hi, could someone help me out with some compiling problems in gcc? when i compile file.c,i get an error which says: stdio.h: no such file or directory
[01:31] <xav> I can't manage it :p
[01:31] <Shadowpillar_> yeah
[01:32] <bintut> Shadowpillar_: yeah. that's what i thought
[01:32] <Shadowpillar_> xav: and I'm barely wake
[01:32] <Shadowpillar_> melatonin makes you sleepy
[01:32] <vinboy> should I use ext3 or reiserfs?
[01:32] <mart_> lol
[01:32] <xav> kiran, install libc6-dev maybe
[01:32] <xav> vinboy, ext3
[01:32] <dany-r5>  i need some help with my ubuntu, someone could spend little time with me?
[01:32] <mart_> sorry... no sound. but there is a change
[01:32] <bintut> xav: huge load?  :(
[01:32] <Shadowpillar_> vinboy: ext3
[01:32] <vinboy> xav: ok thanks
[01:32] <mart_> my mouse doesnt work in the game :P
[01:32] <xav> bintut, yep, what do you see in top?
[01:32] <Shadowpillar_> vinboy: reiser trashed my system
[01:32] <Shadowpillar_> vinboy: it's fast, but unstable
[01:32] <vinboy> thx Shadowpillar_
[01:32] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: so what to do in firefoxrc
[01:32] <kiran> xav, tnx, i'll try it out
[01:32] <xav> mart_, lol
[01:33] <Jof> hi
[01:33] <Jof> anyone here running xgl?
[01:33] <mart_> how wierd is that
[01:33] <xav> mart_, you switched from oss to alsa, and that made you lose your mouse?
[01:33] <xav> Jof, no
[01:33] <SmartUnix> i am using Ubuntu 6.06 , i want compile Gaim 1.5.0 from source , when i run "./configure" it's show for me these errors http://paste.lisp.org/display/27994
[01:33] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: do you see a FIREFOX_DSP line?
[01:33] <mart_> jof i used to
[01:33] <xav> Jof, ubuntu-xgl I believe
[01:33] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: yea
[01:33] <bintut> xav: xorg, firefox and xchat only
[01:33] <quantik> I have a problem: i must recompile a kernel with gcc 2.95, but in the packages repositories, it only exists in i386, but I have an Athlon64, and the amd64 version of ubuntu installed. What can I do?
[01:33] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: set it to aoss
[01:33] <mart_> xav: yep
[01:33] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: ok, thanks
[01:33] <mart_> wierd huh?
[01:33] <Jof> does anybody know, if xgl works over xdmcp??
[01:33] <xav> bintut, yep but how much cpu are they using?
[01:33] <SmartUnix> so what should i do to aviod these errors
[01:33] <Shadowpillar_> restart firefox and see what happens
[01:34] <mart_> ah...
[01:34] <mart_> ive just gone into winecfg
[01:34] <Shadowpillar_> xav: already established nothing is eating his cpu
[01:34] <vinboy> how is every buddy here?
[01:34] <mart_> and now alsa is missing from the top?
[01:34] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: works like a charm
[01:34] <notwist> thanks
[01:34] <dany-r5> i am near to get mad, does someone read me?
[01:34] <mart_> its there, but no box to tick
[01:34] <Shadowpillar_> SmartUnix: why do you want to compile it from source?
[01:34] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: no prob
[01:34] <xav> Shadowpillar_, oops sorry, where?
[01:34] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: what's there?
[01:35] <Shadowpillar_> had him post his uptime
[01:35] <Shadowpillar_> cpu load is average
[01:35] <mart_> esound oss and nas
[01:35] <mart_> i have alsa back now
[01:35] <Jof> does anybody know, if xgl works over xdmcp??
[01:35] <mart_> it comes back with a tickbox when i close teamspeak
[01:35] <SmartUnix> try to make my first hack in my life :)
[01:35] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: are you 32 bit or 64 bit?
[01:35] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: so what is aoss, some sounddriver for onboard motherboards?
[01:35] <mart_> 64
[01:35] <Gothica> hm-m it's work.. but the problem is: i try to mount ntfs system with ROOT: "mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/D" ... then when i try to enter in dir /mnt/D (session under USER, not ROOT), -> so it write, that i don't have permisson on the folder /mnt/D... what should I do?
[01:35] <Shadowpillar_> SmartUnix: what are you trying to do?
[01:35] <Shadowpillar_> notwist: oss wrapper
[01:36] <xav> Shadowpillar_, , I found it a bit high
[01:36] <notwist> Shadowpillar_: tells me nothing :)
[01:36] <SmartUnix> some changes in the source code then compile it
[01:36] <Shadowpillar_> got two options, oss emulation via drivers, or an oss wrappr, with flash in firefox, even if you have things set up for mixing oss emulation, it still won't work unless you use aoss
[01:36] <xav> notwist, the description in synaptic told you what it is
[01:36] <Shadowpillar_>  04:36:59 up 4 days,  4:32,  2 users,  load average: 0.13, 0.19, 0.25
[01:37] <xav> yep thats better
[01:37] <dany-r5> I need some help, could someone where I can find it? could someone help me?
[01:37] <Shadowpillar_> xav: that's my uptime ;)
[01:37] <xav> yes, that's more normal imo
[01:37] <frogzoo> dany-r5: just say what your problem is - people who can answer will
[01:37] <mart_> how do you get that shadowpillar?
[01:37] <Shadowpillar_> /exec -o uptime
[01:37] <xav> 0.8 isn't
[01:37] <Gothica> so... does anybody know how decide ,y problem?
[01:37] <dany-r5> thank you frogzoo
[01:37] <Shadowpillar_> SmartUnix: like what?
[01:38] <dany-r5> my problem is when I write "sudo make" it say "command not found"
[01:38] <xav>  13:38:27 up  1:53,  2 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.11, 0.15
[01:38] <xav> dan2, apt-get install build-essential
[01:38] <dany-r5> so I try to install build-essential and make, but I can't
[01:38] <Shadowpillar_> !build-essential
[01:38] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[01:38] <mart_> shadowpillar: you are busy, if you have anymore ideas let me know
[01:38] <xav> dany-r5, why can't you?
[01:39] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:39] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: more like I am tired and about to go to bed
[01:39] <mart_> lol
[01:39] <xav> mart_, try #winehq
[01:39] <Shadowpillar_> !build-essential > dany-r5
[01:39] <bintut> xav: almost idle
[01:39] <SmartUnix> firstly sorry for my bad English , now i want make some changes in the Gaim labels as first try then when i be good in Gaim code i want improve it to work fine with Arabic language
[01:39] <mart_> looked there, bloody annying its the only thing that still makes me go back to windows :P
[01:39] <xav> bintut, are you sure?
[01:39] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: also, I suggest using the latest versions of wine provided by winehq.org
[01:40] <mart_> many thanks for the help, both of you :)
[01:40] <Shadowpillar_> mart_: the ubuntu repository
[01:40] <mart_> i have that
[01:40] <Shadowpillar_> ah cool
[01:40] <Shadowpillar_> most people dont
[01:40] <mart_> reinstalled ubuntu and everyone only about a week ago
[01:40] <xav> SmartUnix, try #gaim maybe ?
[01:40] <mart_> cause i installed xgl and its rubbish :P
[01:40] <Shadowpillar_> to be fair, I dont think wine should be included by default in ubuntu
[01:41] <xav> you reinstalled everyone? :d
[01:41] <dany-r5> xav, it doesn't work
[01:41] <mart_> hehe
[01:41] <SmartUnix> no body in this channel , i will try debian . thanks
[01:41] <mart_> yes, everyone, i give all my apps their own name
[01:41] <xav> dany-r5, hey you said that three times at least, but never why
[01:41] <dany-r5> it say "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?"
[01:41] <xav> dany-r5, just make it work
[01:41] <Shadowpillar_> been using ubuntu since last year
[01:41] <SmartUnix> this channel i mean #Gaim :)
[01:41] <xav> are you root?
[01:41] <Shadowpillar_> been using linux since '02
[01:41] <xav> -> use sudo for root privilege
[01:42] <dany-r5> what does it means?
[01:42] <mart_> im old school, been using since september :P
[01:42] <Shadowpillar_> kde 2.2.2 lol.
[01:42] <xav> Shadowpillar_, really?
[01:42] <xav> Shadowpillar_, I don't remember which version it was when I started
[01:42] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 you have an other package mananger open
[01:42] <Shadowpillar_> back when kde and gnome were ugly and everyone saw them as "eye candy"
[01:42] <ravehanker> Hello, My window manager seems to be broken in my login alone. I can't see any minimize or maximise buttons and keyboards shortcuts don't work. My bottom panel refuses to show workspaces. But it seems ok in other accounts. what do i do?
[01:42] <xav> Shadowpillar_, :d
[01:42] <Shadowpillar_> I was using mandrake 8.2
[01:43] <dany-r5> I don't know what "i'm root" means
[01:43] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 or u didnt got root privileges
[01:43] <ravehanker> I'm using Gnome in Ubuntu edgy
[01:43] <frogzoo> ravehanker: what did you do is the question ?
[01:43] <xav> ah I think I started with 9 or something, but I'm not too sure
[01:43] <dany-r5> what is the way to get root privileges?
[01:43] <Shadowpillar_> you newbies are lucky compared to what I had to go through when I was new to linux
[01:43] <xav> anyway, gtg
[01:43] <frogzoo> ravehanker: edgy (which is beta) support -> #ubuntu+1
[01:43] <Shadowpillar_> wine didnt even run applications ;)
[01:43] <xav> Shadowpillar_, well, some ppl started way before that
[01:43] <ravehanker> frogzoo:- thanks
[01:43] <Shadowpillar_> it ran some old win 3.1 apps marginally and some console apps
[01:44] <Shadowpillar_> xav: well duh.
[01:44] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 The root is the system administrator... your user is not root but you got access to his privileges by typing 'sudo' before any comand
[01:44] <dany-r5> I am the administrator, and I type sudo before all the commands
[01:44] <Shadowpillar_> it being able to run flash and firefox and games is amazing compared to the sorry state it was in back in '02
[01:44] <dany-r5> but it does't work anyway
[01:44] <Nothing_about> hey does anyone here use VMware to emulate ubuntu version 6.06
[01:44] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 why not? what does it says?
[01:45] <Ropechoborra> *say
[01:45] <dany-r5> it said "E: can't find the build-essential packet"
[01:45] <bintut> xav: well, i have an average cpu usage for xorg at not less than 7.0
[01:45] <Nothing_about> i need to know if anyone here can help me , how do i install ubuntu using vmware , ALSO going into ubuntu live cd mode to install ubuntu
[01:45] <keitheis> allright, finally a simple answer about locales selection menu: http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/237
[01:45] <Nazzy> I am having a problem with my Ubuntu could anyone help me please?
[01:46] <Nazzy> Am I in the right place for technical support?
[01:47] <dany-r5> I translate it the best I can because my ubuntu is in spanish
[01:47] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 you dont have the repositories activated.. go to 'System' > Admin > Software Properties (or something like that) and enable all the repositories
[01:47] <Ropechoborra> !sources
[01:47] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:47] <Ropechoborra> !sources > dany-r5
[01:48] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 do you speak spanish?
[01:48] <dany-r5> i will see, thank you
[01:48] <Nazzy> Could anyone help me with my mouse configuration? I am using Genius IntelliPro Serial Mouse, I don't know why its not working for me so I had to use my keyboard. Please if anyone could help. Thanks
[01:48] <xavier> is there a better way to connect via pppoe?? without console?
[01:49] <bintut> this is really strange with ubuntu on my amd turion64 laptop..  :(
[01:49] <dany-r5> i must mark all things in installation support?
[01:49] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 i did...
[01:49] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 hablas espaol?
[01:49] <dany-r5> si ropechoborra
[01:49] <Ropechoborra> dany-r5 vamos a #ubuntu-es entonces =)
[01:50] <dany-r5> ok, gracias
[01:52] <Nazzy> hi seveas could you help me on my mouse configuration please?
[01:52] <quantik> I have a problem: i must recompile a kernel with gcc 2.95, but in the packages repositories, it only exists in i386, but I have an Athlon64, and the amd64 version of ubuntu installed. What can I do?
[01:53] <POVaddct> quantik: why do you have to use gcc 2.95 for that?
[01:53] <KurtKraut> quantik, just for curiosity... why do you need to recompile a kernel ?
[01:53] <Shadowpillar_> quantik: if you're new to linux, I suggest sitting back a few more releases before making use of 64 bit
[01:53] <Nazzy> come on guys!!! :(
[01:53] <quantik> because i have a speedtouch internal PCI modem and I finilly found the patch, but it recquire the gcc 2.95..
[01:53] <Shadowpillar_> quantik: otherwise, try downloading the i386 version manually and installing it with dpkg -i
[01:53] <Nazzy> could any of you help me
[01:53] <Shadowpillar_> quantik: and pray
[01:53] <Shadowpillar_> anyway
[01:54] <Nazzy> ;)
[01:54] <xavier> hi.. i am using 9 ppp connections right now .. when i run ip route show
[01:54] <rpc> guys, do i need to keep /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin? or is it ok to remove them?
[01:54] <xavier> when only the 9th is active .. i am going mad dialing 9 times to connect to the internet! everytime my isp disconnects me
[01:54] <quantik> ah I can force the install of a package?
[01:54] <POVaddct> Nazzy: i think nobody here uses serial mice anymore
[01:55] <Jaak_> why doesn't my resolution settings show all the resolutions in xorg.conf?
[01:55] <alex_> What is the name of the auto-updater in ubuntu ? It seems automaticly change source list of repositories ?
[01:56] <POVaddct> quantik: does the speedtouch driver have binary portions (.o files)? then compiling for amd64 will probably be impossible
[01:57] <iturk> hi there i have installed beamer using apt and the userguide tell me to go to installation directory but i dont know in which place has this application been installed !! Can i find the place of installation knowing the package name ??
[01:57] <quantik> yes it has itex.o file
[01:57] <POVaddct> quantik: that is the problem with binary only (or partly binary) drivers...
[01:58] <bintut> anybody can help me here on how can i make my ubuntu install even faster?  :(
[01:58] <KurtKraut> bintut, thru the Alternate CD instead of Desktop CD
[01:58] <soundray> iturk: dpkg -L beamer
[01:58] <quantik> will the i386 unbuntu CD work with an athlon, so *sigh* i canb just reinstall everything...
[01:59] <bintut> KurtKraut: you mean, install?  yes, i did it already
[01:59] <tritonx> i386 will work on pretty much everything
[01:59] <KurtKraut> bintut, you said 'ubuntu install' ... so say 'an ubuntu installed'
[01:59] <POVaddct> quantik: the i386 version should work on amd64
[01:59] <quantik> thanks, i was afraid of that answer ;)
[02:00] <bintut> i'm wondering why ubuntu amd64 on my amd turion64 laptop is very, very slow..
[02:00] <frogzoo> quantik: on an athlon, your best bet is 686 - it's fast (however only 32 bit) but well supported
[02:00] <POVaddct> frogzoo: but that would be the i386 cd, or is there a specific i686 cd?
[02:00] <bintut> KurtKraut: it's my 4th time to install ubuntu on different ways
[02:00] <soundray> frogzoo: why not k7?
[02:00] <quantik> but i have to use I386 so that gcc 2.95 will install and work
[02:01] <yrjo> Hi,can you help me with a problem?
[02:01] <KurtKraut> bintut, it still ambiguous what you want. You just want to make ubuntu faster after you installed it or you want to make the installation process faster ?
[02:01] <bintut> even in console, before the characters that i encode, it takes seconds before the characters will appear
[02:01] <tritonx> can anyone help me tune my mail-server, I can msg locally, but the service doesn't receive incoming mail even though port 143 is open
[02:02] <bintut> KurtKraut: i already installed ubuntu.. and i'm wondering why this is very, very slow
[02:02] <Jaak_> !ati
[02:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:02] <POVaddct> quantik: i'd say kick the internal modem and connect a external one. winmodem cause all kinds of problems even if they are supported.
[02:03] <yrjo> Can I get hostname yrjo?
[02:03] <KurtKraut> bintut, how fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have ?
[02:04] <bintut> KurtKraut: 1.8ghz amd turion64 @ 512ram. my laptop is fast with other distros
[02:05] <tritonx> turion , it that like a duron for 64bit ?
[02:05] <Riot777> nope
[02:05] <lupine_85> turion++
[02:05] <KurtKraut> bintut, it should'nt be slow but you have to consider that Ubuntu loads a lot of stuff in order to offer some services, like bluetooth
[02:05] <tritonx> ty
[02:05] <Riot777> sempron is like duron
[02:05] <lupine_85> brum brum :)
[02:05] <lupine_85> maybe it's being speedstep'd ?
[02:05] <KurtKraut> bintut, are you feeling the system slow as a whole or only during specific tasks ?
[02:06] <soundray> tritonx: no, turion is a low-power version of the Athlon64/Opteron architecture
[02:06] <frogzoo> POVaddct: you just need to install linux-686
[02:06] <bintut> KurtKraut: i know. but it's not the reason. it's really something with xorg or what that eats a lot of cpu..
[02:06] <bintut> KurtKraut: slow as a whole
[02:06] <KurtKraut> bintut, what Ubuntu version are you using ?
[02:06] <frogzoo> soundray: if k7 means 64bit, then it means accepting the support for 64bit, which isn't as robust as 32
[02:06] <bintut> 6.06.1
[02:07] <POVaddct> frogzoo: but that's only the kernel compiled for i686, the userspace still remains compiled for i386
[02:07] <marchello> i have ibmx206 with sas/sata controller i need adp94xx.ko for ubuntu .... some one can help me?
[02:07] <soundray> frogzoo: k7 is 32bit. k8 is 64
[02:07] <frogzoo> soundray: ah, I c - so then k7 for best results
[02:07] <KurtKraut> bintut, try to install the video driver.
[02:07] <KurtKraut> binarydigit, it should give you a better performance
[02:08] <KurtKraut> bintut, it should give you a better performance
[02:08] <bintut> KurtKraut: what video driver? i'm already using fglrx here
[02:08] <KurtKraut> bintut, hmmm
[02:09] <marchello> i have ibmx206 with sas/sata controller i need adp94xx.ko for ubuntu .... some one can help me?
[02:09] <soundray> frogzoo: btw, 64bit is rock solid in my experience. Only trouble is with commercial stuff like Flash
[02:09] <KurtKraut> bintut, can you do a bechmark ? Measure precisely how long tasks takes ? I think you may be suffering from a placebo efftct. It should'nt be slow with your config
[02:10] <frogzoo> soundray: sure, but flash is pretty essential
[02:10] <POVaddct> soundray: and trouble with partly binary drivers
[02:11] <soundray> KurtKraut: if it takes seconds for a character to appear after typing, that isn't a placebo (nocebo to be precise) effect.
[02:11] <soundray> frogzoo: just don't spread rumours of instability when the problem is merely compatibility
[02:12] <frogzoo> bintut: which process does top say is taking all your cpu ?
[02:12] <age6racer> Hi all, I have a problem with my hard drive. It has some errors on it. It's ext3 formatted, how can I fix these errors?
[02:12] <KurtKraut> soundray, this deserve some investigation.  But during the use, it shouldn't be slow. Your symptom shows that something is wrong
[02:12] <frogzoo> soundray: support != instability
[02:12] <soundray> KurtKraut: it's not mine, it's what bintut said a few minutes ago.
[02:13] <age6racer> Is there an equivalent to Windows chkdsk in Ubuntu?
[02:13] <KurtKraut> soundray, so, I think this deserve an investigation and a bug report. My computer has less RAM that he has and I have no problem. I do even play 3d games here.
[02:14] <jUggERNAUt1980> hi!  how do i use ndiswrapper to install my new belkin wireless card??
[02:14] <POVaddct> age6racer: man fsck
[02:14] <lupine_85> !ndiswrapper
[02:14] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:14] <POVaddct> age6racer: do NOT run fsck on mounted filesystems
[02:14] <soundray> frogzoo: sorry, I read something into your words that you didn't say (because you used the word "robust").
