[20:56] <nomojob> Can someone please help me out?  Here's the story... I have two hard drives.  One with Ubuntu and one with XP.  Ever since i installed linux i havent been able to get my drive with XP to boot Windows.  I am to the point that I just want to get my XP back.  When I try to boot with just the XP hard drive connected, it gives me an error  "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist".  The recovery cd I have for XP does not let me have the
[20:56] <Suva> jk__: Anyways I have had no problems with perfomance on virtualbox
[20:56] <jk__> b-rabbit: no.
[20:56] <bascule> forb4d3: I thaink you can using pymusique, you just need an account already open
[20:56] <HateX> does anyone know how to specify a range to scan using nmap?
[20:56] <aladinsane> portablejim: ok thnx a lot
[20:56] <ikonia> nomojob: put a windows XP cd in and use the "fixboot" option in recovery mode
[20:56] <HateX> x.x.x.x-x.x.x.y doesn't work
[20:56] <Gunner_Sr> dole: I think you have to get the source for graphics driver, http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html
[20:56] <syan66> ikonia, I know it. Any another type of activity?
[20:56] <B-rabbit> jk__, what is the job for x server then?
[20:56] <portablejim> dole: Unless I know what model of graphics card you are trying to install I can't help you.
[20:57] <ikonia> dole: what card do you have
[20:57] <VSpike> hatex I think it's x.x.x.x-y
[20:57] <ikonia> syan66: pardon ?
[20:57] <Suva> jk__: And last time I used linux guest on win machine on vmware I replaced it with vbox because vmware was much slower and didn't want to install guest additions
[20:57] <jk__> b-rabbit: it's the base of windowing
[20:57] <HateX> VSpike, thanks
[20:57] <dole> gunner_sr thanks
[20:57] <ikonia> dole: what card is it you have
[20:57] <dole> ikonia intel 82865G
[20:57] <nomojob> ikonia: it doesn not give me an option for that
[20:57] <jk__> b-rabbit: gnome,kde, enlighthenment, etc.etc. all sit on top of x
[20:57] <ikonia> dole:  you don't need to get any additional drivers for that
[20:57] <dole> portablekim i gave you the model
[20:57] <VSpike> hatex: it's been a while though
[20:57] <dole> ikonia look
[20:57] <ikonia> nomojob: boot from a windows XP install cd and use "recovery" option
[20:57] <Gunner_Sr> dole: no problem, generally intel graphics drivers should work with linux out of the box. But this will give you the latest version.
[20:58] <dole> ikonia i have a game that requires 3d acceleration, i have 3d acc but i can't open the gamne, simple as that
[20:58] <ikonia> Gunner_Sr: why does he need the later version ?
[20:58] <dole> Gunner_Sr thanks man!
[20:58] <ikonia> dole: yes, that is simple, changing the drivers will probably do nothing for you to fix that
[20:58] <HateX> VSpike, yes your right it works cheers
[20:58] <MasterShrek> nomojob, enter the recovery console and type: fixmbr
[20:58] <MasterShrek> (off the xp install cd)
[20:58] <VSpike> HateX: yeah, you can also do e.g. 10.0.0-5.1-254
[20:58] <dole> ikonia i'm new at ubuntu
[20:58] <Gunner_Sr> ikonia: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm
[20:58] <Gunner_Sr> dole: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm try this as well.
[20:58] <VSpike> HateX: you can also do <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[20:58] <dole> ikonia so, why are the drivers for download.. :S
[20:58] <syan66> ikonia, I know, that viruses do not work under nix* as well as under windows. But it work some another way?
[20:59] <ikonia> Gunner_Sr why are you showing me that link
[20:59] <nomojob> Thats my problem.  The cd doesnt give me a command line
[20:59] <HateX> VSpike, i see
[20:59] <ikonia> dole: for intergration into later versions of xorg
[20:59] <dole> Gunner_Sr thanks, look, i downlaoded them but in order to compile it, i need to install xfree86
[20:59] <ikonia> dole: no you don't !
[20:59] <bascule> HateX: you can also 192.168.0.*

[21:01] <ikonia> dole: do what you want
[21:01] <ianq> hi, quick question: my ubuntu, server edition, refuses to shutdown or reboot after a few days of running. i'm using # reboot and # shutdown -r now and neither works. anyone got any idea or need more info?
[21:01] <ikonia> nomojob: join ##windows and ask for XP install cd support
[21:01] <dole> ikonia hey please help me, i don't know what to do
[21:01] <ikonia> ianq: what happens why you try the shutdown ?
[21:01] <dole> ikonia you say i don't have to install a driver??
[21:01] <ianq> ikonia: "Broadcast message from root@inetserv
[21:01] <ianq>         (/dev/pts/0) at 8:23 ...
[21:01] <ianq> The system is going down for reboot NOW!"
[21:01] <Gunner_Sr> ikonia: show you the intel graphics support. an FYI.
[21:01] <ianq> but it doesn't reboot or shutdown
[21:02] <ikonia> Gunner_Sr: I'm well aware of it
[21:02] <ikonia> ianq: does it just do nothing
[21:02] <dole> Gunner_Sr now i¡'m looking at the pages sorry
[21:02] <ikonia> Gunner_Sr: advising someone to get later drivers for no-reason is not wise
[21:02] <ianq> ikonia: correct. i can still use it as if i had done nothing
[21:02] <ikonia> ianq: anything in theh syslog ?
[21:02] <aladinsane> portablejim: and i could/should add those 3 lines anywhere in xorg.conf?
[21:02] <Pollman> What is a good free partition program?
[21:02] <ianq> where's that?
[21:02] <Gunner_Sr> ikonia: huh?
[21:02] <ikonia> ianq: /var/log/messages
[21:03] <ikonia> Pollman: gparted
[21:03] <dole> ikonia no reason you say??
[21:03] <bascule> Pollman: depends what you are used to
[21:03] <dole> ikonia it wouldn't fix my problem?
[21:03] <ianq> ikonia: nothing recently. these are the most recent entries: Dec  1 06:27:20 inetserv syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart.
[21:03] <ianq> Dec  1 06:46:42 inetserv -- MARK --
[21:03] <Pollman> bascule, I want to make my ubuntu partition significantly smaller
[21:03] <Gunner_Sr> ikonia: if the graphic support is not there out of the product, then what other options do you have?
[21:03] <ikonia> int0: check "who -r" see what your current run level
[21:03] <bascule> dole: opena terminal and say glxgears, if you are > 1000fps, thats as good as it gets
[21:04] <bascule> Pollman: you want gparted
[21:04] <dole> bascule i read something about that, thanks, i'll try
[21:04] <Goosemoose> Hi, trying to get apt-cacher installed on ubuntu. Seems to install fine but i can't browse to http://localhost:3142. Tried to restart the service and it says unable to bind socker (port 3142) Any idea why?
[21:04] <Pollman> bascule, will it run in vista or will I have to boot into ubuntu?
[21:04] <bascule> Pollman: man it's ubuntu based
[21:04] <bascule> Pollman: my knowledge of free win software is weak
[21:04] <Pollman> bascule, yeah I see that now
[21:04] <dole> bascule hey i did it
[21:05] <duguram1> why do i eat cupcakes
[21:05] <dole> bascule it's woring at 500 fps
[21:05] <dole> bascule :(
[21:05] <ikonia> !offtopic >duguram1
[21:05] <portablejim> aladinsane: I think it should go below " # Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet" (between the sections)
[21:05] <aladinsane> portablejim: by the way, i already had those lines: Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "GLcore" Load "dri" Load "v4l" EndSection
[21:05] <ianq> ikonia: any idea?
[21:05] <bascule> dole: that is pretty low, but maybe as good as you get, 865?
[21:05] <ikonia> ianq: apologies I missed your last respone
[21:06] <ianq> ikonia: nothing recently. these are the most recent entries: Dec  1 06:27:20 inetserv syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart.
[21:06] <ianq> Dec  1 06:46:42 inetserv -- MARK --
[21:06] <ikonia> ianq: do a "who -r" and check your run level
[21:06] <dole> bascule 865 what? fps?
[21:06] <bascule> dole: no intel 865
[21:06] <dole> bascule oh
[21:06] <JerekDain> hello, all. i'm a user of moderate linux experience, and i'm just setting up ubuntu on my work comp (Dell Optiplex 320, dual-booting with windows xp), and now that the install is done when i choose ubuntu i just get a black screen with a blinking cursor and can't do anything. i had to do acpi=off to install, but that's in the boot command too. google isn't helping, anyone able to gelp?
[21:06] <dole> bascule the model it's 82865g
[21:06] <ianq> ikonia: run-level 6  2007-12-01 08:14                   last=2
[21:06] <ikonia> ianq: now that is interesting
[21:07] <dole> bascule 865 reffers tyo the model?
[21:07] <ikonia> ianq: your run level has changed to 6 (reboot) so it should be going down
[21:07] <bascule> dole: yeah, maybe 500 is your lot ...
[21:07] <ianq> it's been trying to reboot for three days now?
[21:07] <aladinsane> portablejim: thnx for the effort but i got to go give GF some loving :) I'll deal with it tomorrow
[21:07] <dole> bascule so what can i do to fix this???
[21:07] <bascule> dole: it osn't broken
[21:07] <cox> command for emplying the trash bin anyone?
[21:07] <ikonia> ianq: just having a little ponder, as you are "going down" so to speak
[21:07] <forb4d3> figured out my own answer the file is /etc/modprobe.conf to change which kernel modules are loaded on boot for those wondering
[21:07] <bascule> isn't
[21:08] <portablejim> aladinsane: Bye.
[21:08] <dole> bascule but shouldn't work over 1000fps?
[21:08] <dole> bascule i have 3d acceleretion in my card
[21:08] <bascule> well I forgot what card you have
[21:08] <dole> bascule windows recognized it perfectly
[21:08] <ianq> ikonia: it seems to keep on doing this quite a bit. any clue as to why? it works just fine within the first few days after the last reboot, but once the machine runs for a few days it starts doing this and i have to power it off by hand. a linux system shouldn't do that
[21:08] <bascule> dole: it is a reasonable rate for the card you have
[21:09] <ikonia> ianq: what does your server do ?
[21:09] <ikonia> ianq: what is its function
[21:09] <dole> bascule.. oh ok.. but there is sth i don't understand, for example, when i installed cedega transgamming.. it did't detect 3d acceleration, same as a game i try to play..
[21:09] <ianq> ikonia: lamp + cron jobs
[21:09] <ikonia> ianq: ok can we try a few things
[21:10] <ianq> ikonia: i control it thru SSH from my laptop on the road occasionally
[21:10] <ianq> ikonia: ok :-)
[21:10] <ikonia> ianq: lets shut down apache/mysql manually first of all
[21:10] <porkchop_> quick question: what is the next expected LTR?
[21:10] <porkchop_> err LTS
[21:10] <ianq> ikonia: one moment
[21:10] <ikonia> ianq: do you know how to do that using the init scripts
[21:10] <bascule> dole: well I am not sure why, cause that is an acceptable score for an 865
[21:10] <erUSUL> !lts
[21:10] <ianq> ikonia: no
[21:10] <ianq> ikonia: please explain
[21:10] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[21:10] <ikonia> ianq: sudo /etc/init.d/apache stop
[21:10] <Slart> porkchop_: I think the next one is hardy heron.. ie the one coming in april
[21:10] <ianq> ikonia: oh, sure
[21:10] <ikonia> ianq: cool
[21:11] <bascule> dole: perhaps they will only run on nvidia and ati ...
[21:11] <Jack_Bauer> I'd like to have an information about password storing on Ubuntu
[21:11] <ianq> ikonia:
[21:11] <ianq> root@inetserv:/# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[21:11] <ianq>  * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld                                 [fail] ahaaa
[21:11] <dole> bascule but i am talking about 3d acceleration,m is it involved with the score?
[21:11] <JerekDain> anyone have any advice for why i just get a blank screen on startup with my new ubuntu install?
[21:11] <pteague_work> anybody know of something like winscp for linux?  a gui for sftp/scp ?
[21:11] <ikonia> ianq: I think we have a winner ;)
[21:11] <bascule> dole: can you install and run celestia and foobillard?
[21:11] <ianq> ikonia: why does it do that?
[21:11] <Slart> JerekDain: running with a nvidia 8800?
[21:11] <dole> bascule windows detects 3d acceleration and everything works just fine :S
[21:11] <ikonia> ianq: can you check the mysql log ?
[21:11] <ianq> ikonia: yes. one moment
[21:11] <dole> bascule and what are those?
[21:11] <Jack_Bauer> I have created a VMware virtual machine for the sole purpose of P2P (MLDonkey+Azureus), configured to block IP addresses of known anti-P2P organizations...
[21:12] <Jack_Bauer> And to do other useful thing for P2P users...
[21:12] <Nekochan> having a really weird issue, I have a wireless keybaord/mouse combo using a bluetooth adapater, it worked in windows and during the install but now after install the mouse only has a 5 foot range (yes I tried replacing the batteries) and the keyboard is still 25 feet (what it's supposed to be)
[21:12] <B-rabbit> I am trying to create partition with GParted but before you can make a partition you have to have a Disklabel. But when I try to create a Disklabel by goin into GParted > Device >Set Disklabel....it says that "WARNING: Creating a new disklabel will erase all data on /dev/sda! "...and my ubuntu is installed in /dev/sda i think...is there a way around this....help needed plz...thanx
[21:12] <bascule> dole: one app and one game that will test the graphical performance
[21:12] <JerekDain> Slart: ATI Radeon x1300... it's not completely blank, i actually get a blinking cursor, and the kernel just appears to not load...
[21:12] <dole> bascule and how do i run them??
[21:12] <Pollman> Anyone know of any good themes for gutsy with compiz-fusion?
[21:12] <dole> bascule temrinal?
[21:12] <ianq> ikonia: which one? i've got mysql.err, mysql.log (empty), mysql.log.1.gz through 7
[21:12] <gidna_> When I use tuxguitar I can't listen the audio of the other software..
[21:12] <Jack_Bauer> Now, I'd like to post it on the VMware website, but I have to change passwords of the users and of Azuresus, because as of now I use the ones I use regularly on web sites, my PC, ecc...
[21:12] <ikonia> ianq: check err
[21:12] <Slart> JerekDain: hmm.. well I get the same symptoms if I don't disable the splash screen.. you could try that
[21:13] <gidna_> can you help me?
[21:13] <dole> bascule no i dont have celestia installed
[21:13] <ianq> ikonia: empty
[21:13] <bascule> dole: install them first in synaptics, they will show in the menu
[21:13] <dole> bascule ok i'll try
[21:13] <ikonia> ianq: tell you what, lets start mysql manually
[21:13] <tacone> gidna_: they plan to fix the sound once for all the next version :-)
[21:13] <JerekDain> Slart: we stripped out the commands for quiet and splash... do i have to specify no splash screen or should removing the call for it have done it?
[21:13] <gidna_> they who?
[21:13] <ianq> ikonia: don't we have to stop it first?
[21:14] <Paddy_EIRE> gidna_: the manitees
[21:14] <tacone> ubuntu developers
[21:14] <JerekDain> Slart: also, it seems like it's not even looking for the kernel. we don't hear the HDs spinning at all, and tab completion is selecting the right kernel
[21:14] <Slart> JerekDain: removing the SPLASH word in grub's menu.lst should do it..
[21:14] <gidna_> you have the same pronblem?
[21:14] <mage2> Anyone know of a workaround for the grep -P problem?
[21:14] <ikonia> ianq: try starting it
[21:14] <JerekDain> Slart: yeah, then we tried that
[21:14] <dole> bascule hey, in synaptic i couldn't find celestia and foobillard :S
[21:14] <ianq> ikonia: # /etc/init.d/mysql start
[21:14] <ianq>  * Starting MySQL database server mysqld   it's hanging here, not doing anything
[21:14] <dole> bascule i'm in the live cd 7.04
[21:14] <tacone> i guess many have similar problems
[21:14] <Slart> JerekDain: does the live cd work?
[21:14] <tacone> oss, alsa etc.
[21:15] <JerekDain> Slart: perfectly
[21:15] <bascule> dole: well that explains everything
[21:15] <tzfardea> Hey, I'm recording something with VLC and I want to stop it automatically when I'm not near the computer, is there a way to do this?
[21:15] <tacone> you could try to check if that software supports alsa
[21:15] <Slart> JerekDain: and if you use the open source "old" ati drivers.. ?
[21:15] <dole> bascule i had the 7.10 but i damaged gdm now i'm in live cd
[21:15] <dole> bascule but in 7.10 happened the same things
[21:15] <tacone> do you have tux-guitar alsa ?

I tried to use different clients such as deluge, bittornado, ktorrent, azureus, but they all freeze up my pc after some time causing me to have to reboot.  Is there a way I can fix this?
[21:18] <dole> i'm a grate ful man
[21:18] <Slart> JerekDain: oh.. single user mode doesn't work either.. .. why not try enabling some debugging output and see what it's going through..
[21:18] <dole> lol, sorry bye
[21:18] <JerekDain> Slart: ah, how do we do that?

[21:19] <Slart> JerekDain: grub switches again =).. hang on.. I'll just check the syntax
[21:19] <ikonia> ianq: looking
[21:19] <ianq> ikonia: ignore the date - for some reason, the server stopped updatating the date 3 days ago
[21:19] <JerekDain> Slart: thanks :)
[21:19] <pmdoc> Hi! I have a question about beagle and (intermittent) network drives. Maybe someone here can provide som answers, because I can not find them anywhere else....
[21:19] <ianq> ikonia: so i just changed it to 12/4/07 which is not yet reflected in the log files
[21:19] <LjL> bascule: they don't do support, -es does
[21:19] <ted0816>  I have been having problems in Ubuntu with torrents.

[21:20] <cas_> hi, I have a problem with Gutsy, sometimes my keyboard stops working with windows. After closing the window it starts working again. Any idea what this bug could be? I have it on 2 computers now :S
[21:20] <ikonia> ianq: want to go throguh them
[21:20] <bascule> i guessed right :)
[21:20] <Slart> JerekDain: hmm.. now when I'm looking at my menu.lst.. I have the switch "nosplash".. perhaps you should try that before we do anything else
[21:20] <ianq> ikonia: absolutely. i appreciate your help so far
[21:20] <JerekDain> Slart: ok, i'll try that on my coworker's machine (so i won't have to leave chat - i'm on my windows partition right now)
[21:21] <ikonia> ianq: no problem, ok first things first, the date issue, it may not seem a big deal, but having the wrong date can be a real problem
[21:21] <Slart> JerekDain: do that.. and remove the "quiet" switch if it's there..
[21:21] <ikonia> ianq: second thing, it looks like mysql is starting up then hanging which is causing the shut down problem

[21:21] <pmdoc> Hi! I have a question about beagle and (intermittent) network drives. Maybe someone here can provide som answers, because I can not find them anywhere else....
[21:21] <ianq> ikonia: i reset the date every once in a while, but once the system starts hanging again the date gets goofy. sounds plausible?

[21:22] <ubotu> ted0816: please see above
[21:22] <JerekDain> Slart: coworker already tried that... using another machine he looked up info and found that it's because of a crappy ata controller on this model, and the only fix people are suggesting is "install lilo"
[21:22] <ianq> ikonia: so, what can i do to fix the date problem and mysql?
[21:22] <tacone> anyone for a kubuntu vmware appliance ?
[21:22] <toby_> im not in a hurry soz for giving that impression
[21:23] <arcdarkwolf> Hi, sorry to be a bit of a hassle, I've pretty much got my ubuntu system on the go, but I need help with installing Flash 9... could I be such a pain and ask for help?
[21:23] <ikonia> ianq: ok - first things first, lets kill mysql
[21:23] <ikonia> ianq: ps -ef | grep mysql

[21:23] <pmdoc> Hi! I have a question about beagle and (intermittent) network drives. Maybe someone here can provide som answers, because I can not find them anywhere else....
[21:23] <krish> nyone
[21:23] <erUSUL> ted0816: i've seen aperson with your same problem on #ubuntu-es. I revised with him all her limits (files processes) the openend files (lsof) the limits of the running kernel etc and i couldn't find the reason for that error.
[21:23] <tacone> krish: ?
[21:23] <ompaul> !ask | krish
[21:23] <ubotu> krish: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[21:23] <toko123> is there a linux app which will auto-dial around 3,00o phone numbers in an emergency?
[21:23] <krish> hehe
[21:24] <user1> gutsy looks like a nice release, too bad i cant get sound working on it
[21:24] <krish> i have a compaq v3000 laptop and the sounds stopped after hibernating
[21:24] <toby_> What settings might you change to allow VPN traffic though your Firewall
[21:24] <erUSUL> toko123: chat, wvdial called from scripts and cron jobs
[21:24] <Slart> JerekDain: ok.. then I guess lilo is the next thing to try
[21:24] <krish> i googled and found that this is a known issue
[21:24] <Paddy_EIRE> user1: me neither although there are patches
[21:24] <ianq> ikonia: kill <whatever the process id>?
[21:24] <krish> but cant find a solution for it
[21:24] <deomess> I'm a complete linux newbie looking to install ubuntu.  Is there a page anywhere that lists differences between the Desktop and Server editions?
[21:24] <krish> is there a patch or something
[21:24] <ikonia> ianq: you got it
[21:24] <ompaul> krish, search launchpad.net for an answer for that
[21:24] <LjL> !server > deomess    (deomess, see the private message from Ubotu)
[21:24] <JerekDain> Slart: i have to reinstall ubuntu for that don't i? do you know if i have to do anything tricky to make it work with my windows xp partition properly again?
[21:24] <user1> Paddy. ive looked cant find any fixes
[21:24] <bascule> deomess: if you are a noob you want desktop, thats akk there is to it
[21:24] <krish> ok
[21:24] <ianq> ikonia: it just comes up with a new pid
[21:24] <arcdarkwolf> What commands would I use in the Terminal to install Flash?
[21:25] <Paddy_EIRE> user1: then you have not looked...
[21:25] <ikonia> ianq: kill the parent
[21:25] <ompaul> !flash | arcdarkwolf
[21:25] <ubotu> arcdarkwolf: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[21:25] <krish> hi tsunami
[21:25] <pmdoc> Hi! I have a question about beagle and (intermittent) network drives. Maybe someone here can provide som answers, because I can not find them anywhere else....The thing is...bealge seems to forget previous indexed folders when  they are disconnected...Anyway around this so I don't have to reindex every time I mount them???
[21:25] <arcdarkwolf> Thanks!
[21:25] <ianq> ikonia: oh. i think it just restarted
[21:25] <user1> toshiba A135-S7403
[21:25] <deomess> thanks bascule, ubotu
[21:25] <Slart> JerekDain: I wouldn't think so.. lilo or grub should only deal with the absolute first part of the startup.. after that it's the same afaik.. there are probably howto's out there for switching back and forth
[21:25] <ikonia> ianq: now try to stop it
[21:26] <JerekDain> Slart: though windows wasn't crazy about ubuntu's changing of the partitions the first time around. :P when i got back to windows it forced a somewhat lengthy uninteruptable disk check on next boot
[21:26] <ianq> ikonia: one moment. it's in the process of coming back up
[21:26] <lusepuster> Hi; I'm trying to build amsn from svn but it can't find my tcl build dir. I got tcl8.4-dev installed, what might the problem be then?
[21:26] <ikonia> ianq: no problem
[21:26] <JerekDain> Slart: yeah, i'm just wondering how to tell ubunto to install over the same partitions...
[21:26] <ikonia> lusepuster: you won't find a build dir as its pre-compiled
[21:26] <mage2> Anyone know of a workaround for the grep -P problem? the perl compatable regex is unsupported
[21:26] <JerekDain> ubuntu*
[21:26] <Paddy_EIRE> user1: you would be better of using what works for you until maybe Hardy comes out... its LTS and will more likely have those issues fixed
[21:27] <Paddy_EIRE> user1: unless you like experimenting
[21:27] <Slart> JerekDain: well.. you might have to do some manual reconfiguration before you'll be dualbooting etc..
[21:27] <ianq> ikonia: it might have shut down. brb, gotta go to the basement
[21:27] <ikonia> ianq: ok
[21:27] <bascule> Paddy_EIRE: LTS?
[21:27] <lusepuster> ikonia, thx - will try and figure out a workaround if there is any
[21:27] <JerekDain> damn... and the default automatic dual-boot with grub seemed to be working so nice...
[21:27] <user1> paddy: 6.06 sound works fine, ubuntu is going backwards not forwards
[21:27] <Paddy_EIRE> !lts | bascule
[21:27] <ubotu> bascule: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[21:28] <bascule> Paddy_EIRE: thanks
[21:28] <arcdarkwolf> Ahh, still having problem with the Flash
[21:28] <Paddy_EIRE> user1: no its not
[21:28] <delphi> Hi. Is anybody use a HansaWorld Enterprise?
[21:28] <ikonia> lusepuster: ok
[21:28] <mage2> no ideas on the grep question? or did i miss the reply
[21:29] <m1r> Paddy_EIRE: lts also support 5 years if i patch desktop on server install ?
[21:29] <Paddy_EIRE> user1: things get updated and sometimes it has a knock on affect with other things... although its impossible to get things just right the first time around for everyone
[21:29] <bascule> mage2: what is -P issue?
[21:29] <arcdarkwolf> Excuse me, I'm still having problems with my Flash. I'm still getting to grips with the terminal...
[21:29] <ianq> ikonia: ok. i'm back. # /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[21:29] <ianq>  * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld                                     [ OK ]
[21:29] <mage2> bascule: grep does not have the -P option supported.  its the perl compatable regular expressions
[21:29] <JerekDain> Slart: well apparently we're going to try grub2... i'm off to reboot to the live cd and see how it goes. thanks a lot for the help. :)
[21:30] <ikonia> ianq: ok, thats looking better
[21:30] <ompaul> arcdarkwolf, that is why I gave you the instructions on how to install flash in the url: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[21:30] <bascule> mage2: perl -e 'some stuf that looks weird' ?
[21:30] <deomess> I have a Desktop LiveCD up and running in my laptop right now, but the Install application is taking *hours*.  It could be that my disc drive is wonky but I figure I'd ask if anyone else has seen this.  If all else fails I'll try the text-mode installer.
[21:30] <ikonia> ianq: now can we do the same from cron
[21:30] <ianq> ikonia: please explain
[21:30] <bluntz> Is there a mythbuntu channel yet?
[21:30] <ikonia> ianq: sudo /etc/init.d/cron stop
[21:30] <arcdarkwolf> ompaul, I read the document up and down, I still don't know what to do
[21:30] <ikonia> bluntz: I don't think so
[21:30] <ianq> ikonia: done
[21:31] <bascule> bluntz: /j #mythbuntu, is it just you?
[21:31] <mage2> bascule: -e is close but not the same. i read that 11/07 the ubuntu team said they were going to fix it but can not find a workaround or any progress
[21:31] <ikonia> ianq: now can we try "shutdown -r now"
[21:31] <ianq> it's rebooting now
[21:31] <bluntz>  /j #mythbuntu, is it just you?
[21:31] <ikonia> ianq: thats better :)
[21:31] <bluntz> lol
[21:31] <bascule> mage2: no idea, sorry
[21:31] <ompaul> arcdarkwolf, from the menu - system - administration - synaptic package manager search for "flashplugin-nonfree" and install it
[21:31] <bluntz> lazy me
[21:32] <ianq> ikonia: ok, it's back up
[21:32] <sulo> Hi, anybody using Bluefish HTML editor, who can tell me how to turn off the automatic appending of closing tags?
[21:32] <mw-home_> where does the ubuntu set the runlevel?  The next time I reboot, I don't want to start X.
[21:32] <Orion> im having an issue.  Everything i load has a gigantic title bar and huge maximize and minimize buttons
[21:33] <ikonia> ianq: ok - thats interesting, I think you have a problem with mysql hanging
[21:33] <erUSUL> mw-home_: boot in recovery mode (from the grub manu)
[21:33] <Paddy_EIRE> Orion: change your theme then
[21:33] <ikonia> ianq: that appears to tbe the core of the problem
[21:33] <ianq> ikonia: yeah ;-) what can i do about it?
[21:33] <portablejim> My wireless stopped working when I tried to connect to another network.
[21:33] <ikonia> ianq: well, first thing you can do is wait for it to happen again, then strace the mysql process
[21:33] <arcdarkwolf> ompaul, oh I see, thanks. I was kinda lost before
[21:33] <ikonia> ianq: you can up the log level in the "my.cnf" file
[21:33] <ompaul> arcdarkwolf, enjoy

[21:34] <ikonia> ianq: do you follow
[21:34] <ianq> ikonia: yes, i was just looking thru my.cnf
[21:34] <ikonia> ianq: just checking
[21:34] <mw-home_> erUSUL: thanks.
[21:34] <ianq> ikonia: do i want to uncomment "#log            = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log" ?
[21:35] <ikonia> ianq: thata a good start
[21:35] <ianq> ikonia: ok, done
[21:35] <lusepuster> ikonia, this is not strictly Ubuntu, but if I have to point to tcl-binaries in the configure script, would that be the /usr/lib/tcl* dirs or the /usr/bin/tclsh* dirs, you happen to know that?
[21:35] <bluntz> well theres an ubuntu-mythtv channel
[21:35] <ikonia> lusepuster: it would be the binaries
[21:35] <ikonia> not the libs
[21:36] <chester_martins_> exist a SO based on linux to my nokia 6630?
[21:36] <ianq> ikonia: do you think it's a software or a hardware problem?
[21:36] <ikonia> ianq: I would assume software, but it's hard to tell without more info
[21:37] <krish> why dont i have a /dev/modem on laptop
[21:37] <ianq> ikonia: alright. i've had a problem with this for a while, also under gentoo a few months back
[21:37] <ianq> ikonia: i originally blamed it on gentoo and hoped that under ubuntu things would be better
[21:37] <ianq> ikonia: i guess it wasn't my gentoo install ;-)
[21:37] <ikonia> ianq: hardware (memory) is a good first look then

[21:38] <Goosemoose> anyone else here use pressed files for installs? Some reason it doesn't like my mirror country
[21:38] <Goosemoose> I have
[21:38] <ianq> ikonia: i have to install it first?
[21:39] <ikonia> ianq: no - just boot from the livecd
[21:39] <Goosemoose> d-i mirror/country string United States
[21:39] <ikonia> ianq: at the boot menu there is "memtest" option
[21:39] <Dankchild> hey guys i have a serrious problem, i booted up today and my external hard drive made this clicking noise and it just keeps doing it, i fear the worst. what do i do?
[21:39] <ianq> ikonia: is there any way that i can just install it? i have no clue where the live cd is ;-)
[21:40] <ikonia> ianq: I think its installed with all desktop version, so I would assume its in the server version too, check in your /boot/grub/menu.lst see if you have a "memtest" option
[21:40] <tacone> !alsa
[21:40] <ompaul> Dankchild, back it up asap
[21:40] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[21:40] <shaft0> I'm having a weird problem with Gutsy.  It
[21:41] <shaft0> err
[21:41] <ianq> ikonia: yes. i uncommented the line memtest86=true
[21:41] <ikonia> ianq: reboot and select it from your boot menu
[21:41] <shaft0> It's like a freeze, only in reverse.  Everything still works (visually speaking, downloads continue, etc) but I can't move the mouse, and the keyboard doesn't respond.
[21:41] <MikeH> Evening chaps
[21:41] <MikeH> is there a disc/partition manager available in ubunty.
[21:41] <shaft0> If I Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, will my downloads (firefox) stop?
[21:41] <ianq> ikonia: i can't - there's no monitor to my server. it's just the box hooked up to the network ;-)
[21:41] <krish> ubotu: erUSUL: thks
[21:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about erusul: thks - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:41] <MikeH> *ubuntu
[21:41] <usser> shaft0, yes
[21:41] <ianq> ikonia: is there any way i can monitor it thru ssh?
[21:41] <ikonia> ianq: you'll need to get a monitor then
[21:42] <LjL> MikeH: gparted?
[21:42] <ikonia> ianq: no, its a boot option
[21:42] <ompaul> ikonia, I have tests that show that is not a 100% fault catcher,
[21:42] <ikonia> ianq: it boots a little binary
[21:42] <ikonia> ompaul: go for it
[21:42] <shaft0> usser: so any idea as to why my mouse/keyboard would freeze?
[21:42] <ikonia> ianq: tag, ompaul is in
[21:42] <shaft0> tried plugging them in and unplugging them, doesn't fix it.
[21:42] <ianq> ikonia: ok. thanks
[21:43] <usser> shaft0, can be for various reasons, is the picture changing at all. or is it completely still?
[21:43] <ompaul> ianq, got yourself a monitor? the thing is that you need one for it, however be aware that it is not 100% reliable for memtesting it is a great guide
[21:43] <shaft0> the picture is changing as normal
[21:43] <ianq> ompaul: yeah i have a monitor
[21:43] <MikeH> hrm
[21:43] <ianq> ompaul: i'll see if someone got a spare keyboard around here haha
[21:43] <shaft0> download rate changes, progress updates, etc, just can't move the mouse or keyboard.
[21:43] <ianq> ompaul: is memtest intuitive or is there anything i should know in advance?
[21:43] <shaft0> im going to try plugging in a USB mouse and seeing if i can move it with that
[21:44] <Pollywog> hello, do any of you use Jabber on Pidgin ?
[21:44] <ompaul> ianq, connect it and you can disconnect from your machine and boot it - on the fly - it is very obvious
[21:44] <usser> shaft0, hm, right try it
[21:44] <MikeH> Is there anyway to find out what controller a hd is running on? Or diferentiate between controllers? I have 2 discs on one sata controller, 1 on another, I need to erase the 2 on 1.
[21:44] <shaft0> weird, works fine.
[21:44] <Discerer> so I have an svn repo on my server and I want apache to be able to modify it, so I chmod the dir -R 777, but when I create a new file, it automatically gets -rw-r--r--. why?
[21:44] <LjL> ianq: you shouldn't need a keyboard, you can use "grub-boot" to reboot into memtest
[21:44] <Discerer> (this is in /usr/local/svn)
[21:44] <Xteven> hi, is anyone else having problems with network-manager-openvpn and a static key ?
[21:44] <Pollywog> I can't find a way to set a priority for a resource in Pidgin
[21:44] <shaft0> but the other mouse still won't work.  The mouse/keyboard is PS2, and isn't working, but USB is working fine.
[21:44] <LjL> ianq: grub-reboot rather
[21:44] <ompaul> ianq, the test itself if very obvious let the machine sit there for a few hours and it will try all sorts of tests and show failures if it finds some, I found that installs can prove ram very quickly
[21:45] <Pollywog> I think the Pidgin developers just forgot that feature for Jabber
[21:45] <ompaul> ianq, if you have a spare drive hanging around and have issues installing it is usually ram
[21:45] <usser> shaft0, u should file a bug report
[21:45] <ianq> LjL: #grub-reboot brings memtest up?
[21:46] <ompaul> ianq, you reboot the box and it will be obvious in the grub menu
[21:46] <ianq> ompaul: tell you what - let me hook up the server to a monitor quickly
[21:46] <shaft0> how do I go about doing that?  first issue i've had with ubuntu :P
[21:46] <LjL> ianq: no, it just lets you choose which GRUB menu entry to boot from. choose the memtest one. (look at /boot/grub/menu.lst to find out which it is)
[21:46] <ompaul> ianq, do it carefully
[21:46] <shaft0> nm i can rtfm and figure out how to do it
[21:46] <shaft0> you dont need to baby me that far ;)

[21:46] <bascule> if I installed ubuntu to an external hdd on one amchine and then plugged the hdd into another machine, would the ardware be detedted and configured reasonably well?
[21:47] <sulo> If I download a .jar file (java installer), what program should I use to run it?
[21:47] <erUSUL> bascule: well all installations of ubuntu uses the same kernel and modules
[21:47] <LjL> sulo: java?
[21:47] <erUSUL> bascule: Xorg is another history

[21:48] <Alan_> What's my best bet for a PCI wireless card with good linux compatibility?

[21:48] <Alan_> oooh, good point ikonia
[21:48] <lusepuster> I tried to look at the aptitude man page but it doesnt say - what does a B after the i in installation status on an aptitude search mean?
[21:48] <shaft0> The problem I have with filling out a bug report is that I can't replicate it easily.  It occurs randomly.
[21:48] <bascule> erUSUL: good chance then? I have a laptop for a customer with no cd and won't boot of USB, it has a wacom touch screen cause it's a tablet, I am only slightly worried about a lock at boot time or such
[21:49]  * shaft0 shrugs
[21:49] <tonyyarusso> Is anyone aware of a stumbleupon extension for Epiphany?

[21:49] <tom_> hi all, im trying to get myself into wm development, anyone know of an uber simple wm that i can dissect?
[21:50] <bascule> erUSUL: I'll just need to try it tomorrow and see how I do, is the initrd the same across all installs too?
[21:50] <ompaul> tom_, wmaker
[21:50] <erUSUL> bascule: if doesn't boot from usb how do you plan to boot the external HD? why not use the way easier liveCD??
[21:50] <bascule> erUSUL: remove the drive and stick it in a caddy
[21:50] <sulo> LjL I get "unable to access file <filename>

[21:50] <samgranieri> hey everyone, i installed ubuntu and i cant figure out how to get the xserver to run at boot, or set up the mouse. any ideas?
[21:50] <bascule> erUSUL: It has no cd and customer has no dock either
[21:51] <LjL> sulo, err, you put the actual filename there, right?
[21:51] <tom_> ompaul: ill take a look, thanks
[21:51] <sulo> LjL haha. yes
[21:51] <sulo> *lol*
[21:51] <LjL> sulo, well, that's the error that's given when the file is not found. are you sure you're in the right directory?
[21:51] <sulo> LjL btw, I'm trying to install jedit. any experience w/ that?
[21:52] <LjL> nope
[21:52] <samgranieri> hey everyone, i installed ubuntu and i cant figure out how to get the xserver to run at boot, or set up the mouse. any ideas?
[21:52] <bascule> sulo: apt-get it
[21:52] <sulo> LjL... pretty sure... I'm standing in the same dir and I've checked my spelling... :/
[21:52] <ianq> LjL: well, looks like i _do_ need a keyboard to get into the boot menu ...

[21:53] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[21:53] <ompaul> tom_, they are none trivial but that one is easy enough to work out what is doing what
[21:53] <jsoftw> Erm, like say 3-4 seconds delay, whereas previously on fbsd it was instant
[21:53] <sulo> has this channel got any bots?

[22:03] <broken> When I am told that I can resume a screen like, screen -r [pid.]tty.host what is the correct format?
[22:03] <broken> I don't know what goes for pid, or tty
[22:03] <alzamabar> I installed ubuntu 7.10 gg and logging in with my username (with admin privileges I assume). There is also a root user. First of all: am I in total control of my PC or am I a secondary user? Is root the full admin? Can the root user be removed?
[22:03] <broken> alzamabar, yea you are in full control, root user cannot be removed far as I know.
[22:03] <stefg> !root
[22:03] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[22:03] <erUSUL> alzamabar: why did you enabled the root user?

[22:07] <Flare183> you have to install it

[22:12] <SpookyET> Is it possible to set the desktop background for each virtual desktop individually?

[22:12] <Pollywog> SpookyET: I think you could do it in KDE
[22:12] <Condoulo> alzamabar_- Nice. :) and no prob.
[22:13] <Pollywog> if I am understanding correctly
[22:13] <SpookyET> Pollywog: yes
[22:13] <jimmygoon> How long till the new Flash hits repos?
[22:13] <SpookyET> but i need it in gnome
[22:13] <Pollywog> k
[22:13] <gordonjcp> bakarat: the one that gets closest to meeting your needs
[22:13] <bakarat> LjL: as far as music players go, functionality is pretty standard
[22:13] <riotkittie> arrr.
[22:13] <bascule> bakarat: amarok, that is all
[22:13] <avellino> join ubuntu-it
[22:13] <SpookyET> Having the same babe showing on all desktops is a bit monogamous for me.
[22:13] <duguram1> hahahahaha
[22:13] <LjL> bakarat: then why didn't all the music player programmers just give up when they saw "the" best music player was around?
[22:13] <duguram1> off topic
[22:13] <bluntz> can anyone help me with a video capture card?
[22:14] <Pollywog> amarok has no equal in Gnome world?
[22:14] <riotkittie> srsly.
[22:14] <gordonjcp> sceo: sounds like you need to tweak your refresh frequency a bit
[22:14] <LjL> duguram1: yes, you are, i think
[22:14] <MasterShrek> shishio, that iso done yet?
[22:14] <jimmygoon> Pollywog, banshee, rhythmbox, exaile?
[22:14] <Pollywog> yes I thought so
[22:14] <bascule> Pollywog: amarok has no equal anywhere on any platform
[22:14] <jimmygoon> personally I think rhythmbox is great
[22:14] <duguram1> answer meh
[22:14] <gordonjcp> I prefer vinyl
[22:14] <riotkittie> Pollywog: i think there's exaile [?] but i may be wrong on that, and from what i hear, it's not completely up to snuff though [from what i hear] it does come the closest
[22:14] <sceo> gordonjcp; it only lets me select 75Hz (which is what the monitor wants) - or are you referring to something else (like xorg.conf modelines)
[22:14] <bakarat> LjL: perhaps because such a "best" hasn't yet been created?
[22:14]  * bascule is a big amarok fan
[22:14] <jimmygoon> What does Amarok do that is so darned special?
[22:14]  * sceo likes xmms the best
[22:14] <bakarat> LjL: i meant a comparative best, not the absolute best ;)
[22:14] <gordonjcp> sceo: hmm, not sure then
[22:15] <riotkittie> but i like my media players on the non-obnoxious side :>
[22:15] <jimmygoon> I always here about it but I've never seen anything that is truly fantastic
[22:15]  * riotkittie huggles mpg321
[22:15] <duguram1> amarok makes me whine
[22:15] <gordonjcp> sceo: yeah to be honest if I just want to play something *right now* I either use mplayer on the command line or XMMS
[22:15] <riotkittie> and audacious. <3
[22:15] <ompaul> duguram1, and I think your being trollalicious
[22:15] <bakarat> it's just, a bud is considering switching to linux, but music is his life, and he's using foobar in windows
[22:15] <bakarat> and i want to be able to tell him it has it's equal in ubuntu :P
[22:15] <riotkittie> he can use foobar in linux then.
[22:15] <bascule> amarok insists on well tagged files to get the full enjoyment from it, that scunners some people
[22:15] <riotkittie> can he not?
[22:15] <gordonjcp> what's foobar?
[22:15] <theLichKing> gordonjcp: audacious is a better alternative to xmms
[22:16] <theLichKing> more gnome friendly
[22:16] <bakarat> riotkittie: i don't know, it's not natively portable, possibly over wine
[22:16] <MasterShrek> audacious is xmms
[22:16] <LjL> bakarat, even then, why didn't all the others at least jump on the wagon and become developers of that "comparative best" program? people are mentioning amarok, i'm not particularly fond of it because i find it *too* bloated with features for my likings. features are definitely not all the same in all music players, amarok is quite an example of that. someone yesterday was mentioning that quot libet was the only one they knew about that could mass-rename
[22:16] <LjL> files based on id3. so, see, features do change.
[22:16] <gordonjcp> theLichKing: yeah, I should look at that some time
[22:16] <pg> grub-install gives error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[22:16] <riotkittie> oh. foobar's actually native to win? i nevah knew that
[22:16] <gordonjcp> bakarat: what's foobar?
[22:17] <bakarat> gordonjcp: apparantly a kickass media app for windows :P
[22:17] <bakarat> i haven't used it myself
[22:17] <gordonjcp> bakarat: hm
[22:17] <shameless> how can i set gnomehack to be text based?
[22:17] <bascule> LjL: I can't help myself, amarok does that too, very well
[22:17] <riotkittie> gordonjcp: it's a media player. nice. basic. no nonsense. at least it was when i used it way back when.
[22:17] <jimmygoon> I kinda find 3 different music programs on gnome that have 99% the same feature set to be a bit annoying/redundant
[22:17] <riotkittie> but that was eons ago

[22:17] <jimmygoon> heh, it looks like rhythmbox ... :P
[22:18] <riotkittie> jimmygoon: totally agree. i think someone should do something special, like, ohidunno, remove the 'play' feature from one of these players
[22:18] <duguram1> oh man i hate that
[22:18] <theLichKing> jimmygoon: and you don't find it redundant that more than 100 distributions exist

[22:18] <gordonjcp> zancik: What exactly are you trying to do?
[22:18] <bluntz> anyone know how to get sound out of pinnacle without the patchcord?
[22:18] <duguram1> second hand knowledge
[22:18] <bluntz> ahem sox
[22:18] <jimmygoon> oh I give up
[22:19] <jimmygoon> its not my dev time
[22:19] <CrashOverride> sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart didn't fix ANYTHING
[22:19] <Lhademmor> Hey, I'm in need of help... The past few days, my CPU has been going nuts on my laptop. The CPU-light is constantly flashing, and the computer has become extremely slow. It sometimes even takes up to 10 seconds to exit the screensaver! What can have gone wrong?
[22:19] <duguram1> cracked cpu
[22:19] <jimmygoon> Lhademmor, run "top" in a terminal and see what is eating cpu / memory
[22:19] <LjL> duguram1, when you're finished making irrelevant comments, tell us
[22:19] <theLichKing> Lhademmor: find out the process that's eating up your CPU and kill it
[22:19] <dmckee> Solved my issues :) thank you guys
[22:19] <pg> Help! grub-install gives error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[22:19] <duguram1> go home LjL
[22:19] <CrashOverride> and then I start windows and it takes forever for it to load right
 I need to install this          Script_Installer.sh
[22:20] <theLichKing> lol
[22:20] <LjL> duguram1, i'm pretty serious.
[22:20] <CrashOverride> do you think this is funny >:(
[22:20] <bluntz> wheres the sox guy?
[22:20] <Lhademmor> jimmygoon, right now trackerd is using ~45% of my CPU... Could it be that?
[22:20] <jimmygoon> Lhademmor, um, yeah
[22:20] <theLichKing> Lhademmor: kill the bloody thing
[22:21]  * theLichKing gives Lhademmor a shotgun
[22:21] <riotkittie> sigh
[22:21] <usser> Lhademmor, or set it up so it uses less resources
[22:21] <pteague_work> apparently kget doesn't preserve server timestamps :(  anybody know of a gui download manager that does?
[22:21] <gordonjcp> zancik: what's it an installer for?
[22:21] <CrashOverride> when I boot Ubuntu the screen is just a bunch of weird lines going up and down the screen, white lines and bars and that's everything and nothing will fix it
[22:21] <CrashOverride> sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart didn't fix ANYTHING
[22:21] <gordonjcp> zancik: without wanting to seem patronising or arrogant, it's the sort of thing that you need to kind of know what you're doing
[22:21] <pg> Help! grub-install gives me error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."  What can I do?
[22:21] <zancik>  <gordonjcp>its for nautilus
[22:21] <CrashOverride> Why does ubotu give out false answers
[22:21] <Lhademmor> theLichKing, how? kill trackerd does nothing...
[22:22] <riotkittie> CrashOverride: false answers? elaborate.
[22:22] <jimmygoon> CrashOverride, what flase answer did it give?
[22:22] <gordonjcp> CrashOverride: like what?
[22:22] <theLichKing> Lhademmor: System > Administration > System Monitor
[22:22] <CrashOverride> ubotu sayd to do sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart, but that didn;t fix naything
[22:22] <CrashOverride> * anything
[22:22] <jimmygoon> CrashOverride, where did you put that?
[22:23] <CrashOverride> Recovery mode
[22:23] <pg> Lhademmor: once you start "top", press k and enter the process id corresponding to the trackerd process

[22:26] <sceo> gordonjcp; I lied apparently.. my monitor does want 60Hz, not 75 - but the GUI only lets me choose 75.  How can I force it to 60Hz?
[22:26] <smookerPC1> LOL i type english lol
[22:26] <bascule> Netham45: I know noting of reconfiguring the vista boot-manager
[22:26] <bluntz> ubu good boy!

[22:27] <Lhademmor> pg, theLichKing - in case this happens again... how to make the tracker tool use less resources? This time it simply went nuts!

[22:28] <theLichKing> Lhademmor: probably configure it yourself.. figure out what parts of it eats up CPU
[22:28] <Pc_Dark> how do I access the CUPS control panel (web-based
[22:28] <bascule> Pc_Dark: port 631
[22:28] <Flare183> Pc_Dark:> SWAT
[22:28] <Lhademmor> theLichKing.. sounds difficult...
[22:28] <Pc_Dark> it doesn't connect
[22:28] <bascule> Pc_Dark: over zealous firewall?
[22:28] <theLichKing> Lhademmor: yeah... why do you need it anyway?
[22:29] <Pc_Dark> localhost:631 in firefox
[22:29] <Marcusklaas> Hey could anyone help me out? I've set up an XDMCP server but I can't join it from the same computer. When I set up a VNC server I can join it ..
[22:29] <pg> Lhademmor: you can change its "nice" level using the "renice" command.  Type "man renice" to learn more.
[22:29] <bascule> Pc_Dark: http://<IP_ADDRESS>:631

[22:29] <ubotu> xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it
[22:29] <Pc_Dark> nope bascule
[22:29] <Pc_Dark> This is on Gutsy Gibbon
[22:29] <bascule> well is CUPS web thingy running?
[22:29] <pg> Lhademmor: once it's a running proces, that is.
[22:30] <Pc_Dark> I don't know
[22:30] <pg> Lhademmor: have you tried "man trackerd"?
[22:30] <pg> What can be causing grub-install error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device"?
[22:30] <Pc_Dark> bascule, how do i enable it?
[22:30] <CrashOverride> ok I got to a command line with ctrl-F2 and now I'm using 'tirc' to get on irc from it. How do I make the resolution fixed, the screen still just has the white bars if I try making it load normally
[22:31] <hockeyfan5000> Are there any linux program that can convert a divx file to DVD format such as Nero Vision?
[22:31] <erUSUL> Pc_Dark: it is disabled by default in ubuntu iirc (you can access it but changes have no effect)
[22:31] <bascule> Pc_Dark: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/13/enabling-cupsys-web-admin-interface/
[22:31] <sebsoon> Hello
[22:31] <Lhademmor> pg, now I tried running "trackerd -n", which disables indexing, and nothing evil happened :)
[22:31] <erUSUL> hockeyfan5000: ffmpeg for command line
[22:31] <bascule> if it is still relevent
[22:31] <CrashOverride> I think some of you are mistaking what I'm saying happens maybe I should take a picture of it?
[22:32] <erUSUL> hockeyfan5000: avidemux ?
[22:32] <Dankchild> hey guys i want to make a new partition can i do that through ubuntu? and how easy is it?
[22:32] <Mwa`> Hey, I've got ubuntu v6.somethingorother and a CD of v7.10. Can I update without reinstalling?
[22:32] <Casey> I'm installing Xubuntu right now and I don't know how big to make my root partition. I want a seperate partition for home.
[22:32] <grindcore> i have one question bit out of linux problems - i have couple of mails of one person and I need to know from which country are originaly send. is there any easy way how to do it ? i think its another NIGERIAN SCAMMERS
[22:32] <Mwa`> Wow. 1211. And a lot of spam
[22:32] <Mwa`> I'm scared. ._.
[22:32] <c4ptainpete> is there a way or making "enable wireless" for network manager persistent? I'd like it to start 'off' by default but can't find it in gconf - anyone been there?
[22:32] <CrashOverride> ok is there a real official help room for ubuntu this place isn;t helping
[22:32] <pg> Lhademmor: if you do that, tracker search engine on your computer will not be able to find any new files.
[22:32] <bascule> Mwa`: from 6 no you would need to go incrementally through the releases
[22:33] <LjL> CrashOverride: you can pay for support
[22:33] <LjL> !support > CrashOverride    (CrashOverride, see the private message from Ubotu)
[22:33] <theLichKing> why does image viewer not view images that are on the desktop?
[22:33] <hockeyfan5000> thanks erUSUL i will try it
[22:33] <pierre__> ffff
[22:33] <CrashOverride> !support
[22:33] <ubotu> the official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org
[22:33] <Lhademmor> pg, maybe the low-memory command is the way to go...?
[22:33] <jimmygoon> CrashOverride, did you edit your xorg.conf
[22:33] <Mwa`> bascule: arg. So it'll be easier for me to simply install over my / partition?
[22:33] <jimmygoon> or not....
[22:33] <alesan> hi, I am working outside the X environment, how can I configure a USB keyboard to NOT send characters to the character console?
[22:34] <ompaul> !resolution > CrashOverride (please check message from ubotu, and you should not expect instant answers in a very busy channel)
[22:34] <pg> grindcore: much of "Nigerian" spam actually does not originate from Nigeria.
[22:34] <alesan> I wanna use only the integarted PS2 keyboard for the console
[22:34] <jimmygoon> ompaul, he quit
[22:34] <smookerPC1> can K3B burn Bin/Cue files ?
[22:34] <theLichKing> k3b sucks.. gnomebaker ftw
[22:34] <Dankchild> hey i want to install windows on a different partiton, how do i do this?
[22:34] <pg> Lhademmor: I don't know that command.
[22:34] <ompaul> jimmygoon, ahh well patience pays off ;-)
[22:34] <jimmygoon> ompaul, yeah
[22:34] <Mwa`> bascule: thanks for the help.
[22:35] <bascule> Mwa`: yeah, /home/you will stay OK though
[22:35] <theLichKing> Dankchild: boot from the windows CD
[22:35] <Pc_Dark> didn't work bascule
[22:35] <jimmygoon> smookerPC1, "bchunk - CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr
[22:35] <jimmygoon> "
[22:35] <Ch1ppy> Can anyone help me get flash working in opera?  I'm trying the flash installer, it works and the file is properly setup, but opera still doesn't show any flash content
[22:35] <Lhademmor> pg, ok I'll try it out later (am in failsafe GNOME right now) - at least now I know how to kill it if it makes trouble again
[22:35] <Dankchild> thelichking, will it create a partition?
[22:35] <Pc_Dark> I added group shadow and added cupsys, then added cupsys to shadow
[22:35] <Mwa`> bascule: /home is on a seperate partition, for such eventualities. ;)
[22:35] <Casey> I'm installing Xubuntu right now and I don't know how big to make my root partition. I want a seperate partition for home. How big should I make my root partition?
[22:35] <bascule> Pc_Dark: *shrug* that was all I knew ...
[22:35] <pg> What can be causing grub-install error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device"?
[22:35] <Pc_Dark> restarted, still doesn't work
[22:35] <smookerPC1> i just need to burn Bin/Cue image
[22:35] <theLichKing> Dankchild: yes, you just have to tell it which of the partitions you want to install it on
[22:36] <grindcore> pg I'm in UK - so gmt , but they keep saying they are from UK aswell - but i know they are sending mails from GMT+1 - where is plenty of poor african countries - offcourse nigeria,...
[22:36] <jimmygoon> smookerPC1, I know, I'm just saying if it doesn't burn it directly you can convert it
[22:36] <Mwa`> OH. Afore I go, is there an official CD face I can print onto my CD?
[22:36] <Pollywog> Dankchild: I think you need to create the partition with PM or something
[22:36] <theLichKing> Dankchild: after you install it.. you have to reconfigure grub though
[22:36] <theLichKing> !grub | Dankchild
[22:36] <ubotu> Dankchild: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[22:36] <shironeko> Ok, Ok, can I get your attention for a moment, please Everyone. It's just a test.
[22:36] <Mwa`> Rather than just writing 'ubuntu 7.10' on it in perminant marker
[22:36] <Marcusklaas> SHIRONEKO YES WE READ YA
[22:36] <shironeko> Can you access, this webpage?
[22:36] <Dankchild> thelichking, like what i mean, is will i have to create a partition before i install?
[22:36] <LjL> shironeko: /join #test
[22:36] <bascule> Casey: 20GB is plenty 10GB is enough,I use 10
[22:36] <Lhademmor> pg, also interesting: When I started the trackerd now it said: "Initialising tracker...
[22:36] <Lhademmor> Could not set idle IO priority...attempting best effort 7 priority"
[22:36] <shironeko> http://-uno-.blogspot.com/
[22:37] <jimmygoon> smookerPC1, have you tried just opening it with k3b and seeing if it works
[22:37] <theLichKing> Dankchild: sure, where else are you gonna install the bloody thing?
[22:37] <grindcore> i have one question bit out of linux problems - i have couple of mails of one person and I need to know from which country are originaly send. is there any easy way how to do it ? i think its another NIGERIAN SCAMMERS can someone help me with this please ? thanks for any help

[22:37] <shironeko> It is not spam
[22:37] <marlenis> hola
[22:37] <jsoftw> shironeko: what problem is that
[22:37] <shironeko> I'll remit you to the discussion
[22:37] <shironeko> Ok
[22:37] <pg> grindcore: there is no way to tell the origin from the time, and as I said much spam that mentions Nigeria originates elsewhere, much from the US.
[22:37] <jimmygoon> shironeko, that isn't a valid url a domain/subdomain can't start with a hyphen
[22:37] <smookerPC1> hmm seems to work for the .cue
[22:37] <shironeko> no linux distro can open any webpage with a - in a subdomain
[22:37] <shironeko> It can
[22:37] <Dankchild> thelichking, i meant through ubuntu, jesus.
[22:37] <TD-Linux> huh?
[22:37] <shironeko> at least windows and Mac's opens that
[22:38] <pg> Lhademmor: that's normal
[22:38] <shironeko> that's just the problem
[22:38] <TD-Linux> shirneko... ???
[22:38] <shironeko> we're discussing that
[22:38] <Dankchild> thelichking, no need to be hostile.
[22:38] <jimmygoon> :/
[22:38] <theLichKing> Dankchild: how many partitions do you have now?
[22:38] <irc-test> test
[22:38] <shironeko> and I was wondering if it was a problem of spanish ISP's
[22:38] <bascule> shironeko: kde-look.org
[22:38] <TD-Linux> ohhh
[22:38] <TD-Linux> it's because
[22:38] <shironeko> but not in subdomain
[22:38] <theLichKing> this guy wants to install windows on his machine, but he's not sure whether he needs a partition or not
[22:38] <marlenis> =)
[22:38] <TD-Linux> that domain you ave starts with a -
[22:38] <theLichKing> like wtf dude?
[22:38] <grindcore> pg u know how to find out origin of mail ?
[22:38] <TD-Linux> has nothing to do with subdomain
[22:38] <pg> Lhademmor: sorry, I did not see your second line.  I don't know if that is a problem.  Try searching for those messages on the web.
[22:38] <jimmygoon> theLichKing, alongside Ubuntu? yeah...
[22:38] <Pollywog> Dankchild: do you have partitionmagic?
[22:38] <Dankchild> thelichking, just one for ubuntu
[22:39] <pg> grindcore: no
[22:39] <Dankchild> pollywog, nope.
[22:39] <bascule> shironeko: like mydomain.web.some-machine.com?
[22:39] <jsoftw> shironeko: bsd does not like it either.
[22:39] <theLichKing> Dankchild: resize the ubuntu partition
[22:39] <jsoftw> I doubt its even a valid domain
[22:39] <theLichKing> Dankchild: then use the space left for windows
[22:39] <shironeko> yeah, even if it's starts with a - it can be accessed by any browser in Windows and Mac
[22:39] <Dankchild> thelichking, is there any chance of data loss?
[22:39] <pg> What can be causing grub-install error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device"?
[22:39] <shironeko> so it has to be a problem of Linux (or BSD)
[22:39] <Pollywog> Dankchild: you need to do as theLichKing suggests
[22:39] <bascule> shironeko: let's see the domain name please
[22:39] <theLichKing> Dankchild: use gparted, or ext2resize
[22:39] <LjL> shironeko: or perhaps it is a problem with the domain itself not respecting specifications...
[22:40] <Pollywog> but it is best to install Windows before Linux on a dual boot system
[22:40] <theLichKing> Dankchild: there are no guarantees
[22:40] <theLichKing> Dankchild: but you should be safe
[22:40] <ompaul> shironeko, it is not a valid domain please cease
[22:40] <grindcore> pg ok, so will be a problem :(
[22:40] <theLichKing> also, backups can be handy
[22:40] <Dankchild> thelichking, k thankyou. i might be back.
[22:40] <shironeko> why Isn't it a valid domain?
[22:40] <mike__> Hi guys, I'm having problems with gparted segfaulting when I attempt to give a disc a label. Can anyone suggest an alternative?
[22:40] <theLichKing> Dankchild: good luck
[22:40] <LjL> shironeko: because valid domains can't start with a hyphen...
[22:40] <bascule> shironeko: let's see the url
[22:40] <pg> grindcore: why do you want to know the origin of mail?
[22:41] <shironeko> the URL is: http://-uno-.blogspot.com/
[22:41] <ompaul> shironeko, it starts with a - an invalid char in the url - so type host and that full name and watch it, now discontinue
[22:41] <Dankchild> thelichking, thanks, and about the backups, the reason im doing this is because my 500 gig external drive just failed.
[22:41] <shironeko> here's another one. Try it youseld
[22:41] <smookerPC1> woowz i seted K3B speed to 36x but its showing up to 38 right now @ the burning process
[22:41] <bascule> shironeko: that is an invalid domain
[22:41] <Pollywog> grindcore: I think SpamCop has a page where you can copy headers and find out where a spam originated
[22:41] <mikeooo> anyone know when a decent x3100 intel gma965 driver will be out?
[22:41] <pike_> MikeH: fdisk

[22:44] <jsoftw> Meh.
[22:44] <ompaul> bascule, host is "faulty" nice bug if you want to report it

[22:44] <nooseisloose> hasn't happened to anyone else recently then?

[22:45] <mick_home> gordonjcp: i don't even know what to google
[22:45] <TheEagle> is anyone able to give any help?
[22:45] <CrashOverride> how do I reset all the screen settings ubuntu used and put it back to the default
[22:45] <LjL> bascule, only because it interprets the "-" as an option. host '\-uno-.blogspot.com'
[22:45] <FrenesiK> hello
[22:45] <CrashOverride> -.-
[22:45] <pike_> TheEagle: just ask your questions someone will attempt to answer :)
[22:45] <FrenesiK> i am french
[22:45] <Journeyman> when I try to edit the artist tag in rhythmbox it changes for a sec, then changes back, I edited it in amarok and it seems to stay the same in amarok, but when I open rhythmbox it shows up like was before
[22:46] <gordonjcp> mick_home: couldn't begin to guess.  I'd suggest not googling "ubuntu boobs" though

[22:46] <WuGutsyClan> anyone?
[22:46] <TheEagle> i am having trouble with ubuntu server
[22:46] <TheEagle> 7.10
[22:46] <FrenesiK> thanx LjL
[22:46] <Chewy954> is there any benefits of AMD64 over i386?
[22:46] <TheEagle> my screen just says "INPUT NOT SUPPORTED"
[22:46] <TheEagle> this is after i installed the package ubuntu-desktop
[22:46] <pike_> Chewy954: speen and if you need more than 4gigs memory for single app
[22:47] <bascule> LjL: ah, nice, thanks
[22:47] <pike_> Chewy954: speed but the increase isnt necessarily worth the trouble. it depends on your needs
[22:47] <WuGutsyClan>  hey I am trying to install vmware and it cannot find my current modules.. help
[22:47] <pg> What does sda5 mean? Is it a primary partition?
[22:47] <bodo> is there a folder called distro and wherer can i find it????
[22:47] <Lhademmor> pg, ok will do
[22:47] <TheEagle> i need help with correctly configuring my display card
[22:47] <Chewy954> pike_: well seems I'm gonna needa to do a fresh install regardless, should I just go ahead with the 64bit? Ubuntu doesnt boot anymore.... Not sure y...
[22:48] <Freman> heya's.
[22:48] <bascule> LjL: I put http in it still fails
[22:48] <Freman> I'm trying to make an inittab entry work on ubuntu (or events.d file either way)
[22:48] <bascule> Host http://-uno-.blogspot.com/ not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[22:48] <Freman> it used to work
[22:48] <jsoftw> Still on the blogspot thing.
[22:48] <jsoftw> Meh
[22:48] <Freman> but after I upgraded to 7.10 it doesn't
[22:48] <pike_> Chewy954: id recommend creating a seperate /home partition maybe and allocating 10GB to a 32 bit / and another 10 to a 64 bit / that way you can use same /home partition keep all your settings if you dont like 64
[22:48] <pike_> Chewy954: and just install both
[22:48] <Freman> bascule, err... host doesn't take http
[22:49] <LjL> bascule, that's not surprising, host doesn't undesrtand "http"... just use: host '\-uno-.blogspot.com'
[22:49] <pg> How can I tell if a partition is a primary partition?  It's the only partition on a sata drive, and mounts as /dev/sda5
[22:49] <hwoarang> hi
[22:49] <Freman> host \-uno\-.blogspot.com
[22:49] <sceo> gordonjcp & krish; thanks for the advice - i used the information in my monitor manual to create an alter the modeline (using the handy http://xtiming.sf.net) in xorg.conf and restarted.  now it allows 60Hz and no whining from the monitor!
[22:49] <Chewy954> pike_: don't have enough HDD space :p, but that would fix the boot issues, right?
[22:49] <LjL> Freman: that won't work without the quotes
[22:49] <bodo> where can i find the folder distro on the system????????
[22:49] <bascule> Freman: ljl, oh yeah .. :)
[22:49] <sceo> Just would like to say I have a working ubuntu system, and now I'll not be writing that research paper that's due tomorrow, but screwing around customizing my desktops.  gee, THANKS!  :-p
[22:49] <Mwa`> So, is there an official thing I can print on my downloaded CDs or should I just use the homebrew one I used last time?
[22:49] <sceo> YAY!
[22:49] <ruben> I just installed postfix on my server, but I cant find the main.cf file. There is only the master.cf file
[22:50] <pike_> Chewy954: personally ive been using a 64 bit proc since 2005 and havent yet tried the 64 bit linux. i use it at work but that is because i have HUGE memory requirements
[22:50] <ruben> where is this file supposed to be?
[22:50] <erUSUL> pg: if it is /dev/hda5 it is not a primary partiion
[22:50] <Chewy954> pike_: I have a alotta HD Films, 8gb +, so I guess 64bit would be best for me?
[22:51] <pg> erUSUL: can I make it a primary partition without wiping out its contents?
[22:51] <pike_> Chewy954: i will say they have done alot of polishing on 64 bit lately it isnt really that much more trouble for most stuff than 32 so you might try it
[22:51] <gordonjcp> sceo: nice one
[22:51] <pg> erUSUL: it's /dev/sda5, not /dev/hda5
[22:51] <corruptionoflulz> anyone care to refresh my memory on how i get into the fstab stuff?
[22:51] <erUSUL> pg: dunno, sorry. maybe a little googling can help you
[22:51] <bodo> people my question is too easy where is the folder called disrtro on the system?????
[22:51] <gordonjcp> sceo: you should probably write a page on the wiki ;-)
[22:51] <LjL> bodo: a folder called "disrtro"?
[22:51] <TheEagle> is there a way to start in sage graphics mode in ubuntu server 7.10 - i installed ubunut-desktop but my screen just says "Input Not Supported". I originally obtained the LiveCD for Ubuntu Desktop 7.10 and I could only start it by selected "Start Ubuntu in Safe Graphics Mode" - I didn't have the ram to install from the live cd and i downloaded server 7.10 text installer. now ive installed ubuntu-desktop i need a way to
[22:51] <TheEagle> either get my graphics card working or start in safe graphics mode. any ideas?
[22:51] <pg> erUSUL: does grub need to reside on a primary partition?
[22:52] <ompaul> bodo, not with the installed system
[22:52] <pike_> TheEagle: what card?
[22:52] <naxa2> hi! is there a mass file rename tool for ubuntu?
[22:52] <Marcusklaas> yea right
[22:52] <Marcusklaas> like that ever happens
[22:52] <LjL> naxa2: "man rename"
[22:52] <sceo> gordonjcp; i've seen a ton of ubuntu documentation - where specifically are you referring and I'll certainly do it
[22:52] <pike_> naxa2: rename :)
[22:52] <corruptionoflulz> naxa2: i think i saw one under add/remove programs
[22:52] <TheEagle> pike_: er... hold on
[22:52] <jsoftw> peow peow
[22:53] <naxa2> uh... ok.
[22:53] <pike_> naxa2: i think there is a file manager plugin or somesuch in add/remove as well
[22:53] <void^> pg: no. if you're careful you can recreate the partition as primary, but there's no need to do so normally
[22:53] <naxa2> pike_ do you know the name?
[22:53] <pike_> TheEagle: lspci -v | grep -i vga
[22:53] <pike_> naxa2: no sorry
[22:53] <TheEagle> SiS 650/651/740/661FX/741/760 series
[22:53] <ruben> wait. I just found a bunch of main.cf files in usr/share/postfix.... but, am I supposed to copy them to the etc/postfix folder?
[22:54] <pg> void^: so grub should be able to boot from /dev/sda5, the only partition on a sata drive?
[22:54] <TheEagle> pike_: i am on windows at the moment becuase i cant get my ubuntu gui working
[22:54] <bodo> ompaul, so i make it???
[22:54] <TheEagle> that data was copied from Device Manager
[22:54] <naxa2> pike_ ok. other problem, i cannot edit my menu. i click in "system/admin/synaptic" to be visible, but it unclicks in 0.5 second automatically. can you help?
[22:54] <ompaul> bodo, if you want to - no reason for it
[22:55] <jsoftw> Lets all jump UP and DOWN
[22:55] <void^> pg: yes, if the bios supports it.
[22:55] <bodo> ompaul, no i need it to make an install of fedora through ubuntu
[22:55] <Dankchild> hey is the install cd the same as a live cd
[22:56] <LjL> Dankchild: yes
[22:56] <ompaul> bodo, no idea what you are trying to do - download a cd and be done with it
[22:56] <TheEagle> pike_ SiS 650/651/740/661FX/741/760 series
[22:56] <pg> void^: i don't know if it supports it, so that may be the problem.  When booting, I get grub error 22 "no such partition".
[22:56] <TheEagle> pike_: copied from windows device manager
[22:57] <pike_> TheEagle: try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  is there a sis driver option?  if not try vesa which is the generic driver that works for most stuff.  if you want to undserstand a bit better instead of the reconfigure do sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and scroll to near the bottom of the file where it has a Driver "something" for you vid card and change it to SIS then save and exit. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to restart x after you
[22:57] <kelsin> pg: if it is the only partition on the drive grub might read it as (hd0,0) or (hd0,1), I'm jumping in here ou might have solved that already
[22:57] <UBUNTUISLOVED> can someone tell me if theres a webpage explaining details of every processes running in ubuntu so i can turn off my kids pc unused processes to speed it  up
[22:57] <pike_> TheEagle: alt-ctrl-f2 to get to a terminal login
[22:57] <pg> void^: menu.lst says "root (hd0,4)".  /boot/grub/device.map says "/dev/sda"
[22:58] <SpookyET> What's the best way to install Java? I heard some Java horrors.
[22:58] <TheEagle> pike_: ok, im on windows now but im just going to boot back into ubuntu and try what you said. ill be back for further help
[22:58] <pike_> SpookyET: just go into add/remove programs and search for jre sun or something
[22:58] <kelsin> pg: are you on the system that we're talking about? If so run the grub program itself and type (hd0, and hit tab to tab complete and see what partitions grub does see
[22:58] <TheEagle> if i need it
[22:58] <pike_> TheEagle: good luck :)
[22:59] <TheEagle> pike_: cheers!
[22:59] <void^> pg: that's wrong, of course - should be hd0,1
[22:59] <tomd123> jk_: ur just jking right?
[22:59] <kelsin> void^: pg: (hd0,1) is the second primary partition, probably hd0,0 is needed
[22:59] <pg> kelsin: thanks.  Yes, I am on the system.  grub only recognizes hd0 (nothing else is listed)
[22:59] <grindcore> pg i find two addresses which they use X-Originating-IP: [<IP_ADDRESS>] ; X-Originating-IP: [<IP_ADDRESS>] :)
[22:59] <function1> anyone else get weird ass textures on nexuiz or other gl games with compiz and ATI?
[23:00] <void^> kelsin: right, my bad :-)
[23:00] <pike_> SpookyET: if you have the open source java already installed you may need to sudo update-alternatives all or java or something. basically the symlinks in your bin folders may still be pointing to the old java but this is rarely a prob anymore
[23:00] <WuGutsyClan> hey i am running ubuntu, and when I try to install vmware server, it defaults to asking me to load my headers from /usr/src/linux/include when in reality I am supposed to have it load them from /lib/modules/2.66-14-generic/build/include but it does not work for either of them.. help
[23:00] <kelsin> pg: can you paste bin the output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda"?
[23:00] <cocox> How could i know if im using a 32 or 64 linux version ?
[23:00] <ompaul> UBUNTUISLOVED, install either a gui program called "bum" or a console app called "rcconf" as you have configured the box for your needed you need to research each of the daemons yourself to understand what each one does before you choose to turn them off
[23:00] <alzamabar> Hi, I want to install Java JDK on Ubuntu. Can I install an *-rpm.bin or a bin file on Ubuntu?

[23:02] <pg> kelsin: http://pastebin.com/m71cad5a9

[23:02] <LjL> !terminal > alzamabar,    (alzamabar,, see the private message from Ubotu) from this
[23:02] <pike_> cocox: so you are using a i686 compiled kernel usually youll see that or i386 both are 32 bit
[23:02] <mr__daniel> alzamabar: you can use the .bin file
[23:02] <nixNewb> how can i change my screen resolution from terminal?
[23:02] <cocox> kelsin, ohhif it would be 64 what should it says?
[23:02] <bard1988> hi
[23:02] <kelsin> pg: sda5 should probably be marked bootable as well, and according to the grub help it should be (hd0,4) for the first extended partition, I could be wrong about that
[23:02] <LjL> mr__daniel: there's no reason why one should, though
[23:02] <ompaul> alzamabar, from applications accessories terminal, and use the prepared packages with sudo apt-get install "PAckageName" when you know what you want
[23:02] <kelsin> cocox: amd64 or x86/64 something like that
[23:02] <MikeH> is there a way to add 2 fat32 discs/partitions without having to mess around in /etc/fstab?
[23:03] <ompaul> mr__daniel, there are premade packages easier for the user to use
[23:03] <cocox> kelsin pike_ thank you guys!
[23:03] <bard1988> Im having probelm installing the ATI 3d rage pro driver on ubuntu 7.10
[23:03] <bard1988> and im newbie :D
[23:03] <pg> void^: OK, then I should write "root (hd0,0)" and "/dev/sda" in device.map?
[23:03] <kelsin> pg: but the best way is on the grub command line to tab complete things to see what grub actually thinks is there
[23:03] <MikeH> bard1988, have you checked out restricted drivers?
[23:03] <pike_> MikeH:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  <-- has an auto setup script to edit fstab for you i think
[23:03] <bard1988> what restriceted?
[23:03] <rambo3> bard1988, that would be "ati"
[23:03] <mr__daniel> nixNewb: maybe 'xrandr' is able to do that, check out the man page 'man xrandr'
[23:04] <kelsin> pg: I've never had to write to device.map in my entier life so i don't know about that, but I think you should put that in there and if that doesn't work edit the line on the grub screen and use tab complete to see what hd0's grub sees
[23:04] <MikeH> bard1988, system -> administration -> restricted driver manager
[23:04] <pg> kelsin: it does not complete anything.
[23:04] <bard1988> MikeH: thx ill try
[23:04] <MikeH> it'll most probably have your ati drivers there, it's just a case of enabling them ;)
[23:04] <MikeH> bard1988, ^^
[23:04] <pike_> MikeH: of course you prob know you can just mount em without editing fstab
[23:04] <MikeH> pike_, yeah, but I want them mounted automatically.
[23:05] <bard1988> it says my hardware does not need any restricted drivers
[23:05] <MikeH> bard1988, hrm, back to step one then :)
[23:05] <MikeH> My x800xt had drivers present.
[23:05] <bard1988> which is?
[23:05] <pg> kelsin: and /dev/sda5 is marked bootable, if I undersrand http://pastebin.com/m71cad5a9 correctly
[23:06] <bard1988> MikeH: thx ill try ?
[23:06] <bard1988> oops
[23:06] <sebrock> VBETOOL always gets to 100% when I try to suspend? Any idea?
[23:06] <bard1988> anyway what other suggestions?
[23:06] <pike_> MikeH: id think the default install of ubuntu would have some script in init.d/ to mkdir and mount detected partitions but i dunno guess not
[23:07] <chuckles_> weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[23:07] <bard1988> lets start with an easier probelem, is there anything in UBUNTU which is like  Language bar?
[23:07] <pike_> bard1988: what is language bar?
[23:08] <Khalil> where is the gnome-themes-manager
[23:08] <Khalil> ?
[23:08] <Freman> so ummm... I put ssh:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/sshtunnel into my inittab... telinit q and nothing happens
[23:08] <mr__daniel> bard1988: do you mean a appleat which is able to change the keyboard-layout?
[23:08] <bard1988> yeah exactly daniel
[23:08] <corruptionoflulz> bard1988: like SCIM?
[23:08] <kelsin> pg: I see the boot * next to /dev/sda2 am I that tired? :)
[23:08] <ompaul>  chuckles_ ?
[23:08] <Gekone> Buonanotte a tutti.
[23:08] <MikeH> whats the command/utility to list all mounts.

[23:09] <mr__daniel> bard1988: you can a such applet when you right on your panel (the upper or the lower one) and choose 'add to panel'
[23:09] <bascule_> MikeH: all mounted or all partitions?

[23:09] <ubotu> Failed.
[23:09] <mr__daniel> bard1988: there you can find the applet
[23:09]  * pike_ wonders where his inittab has gotten to
[23:09] <MikeH> bascule, All mounted, along with sizes etc.
[23:09] <bard1988> how is it called?
[23:09] <corruptionoflulz> bard1988: scim puts an icon in the tray automatically for me
[23:09] <sebrock> sad
[23:09] <corruptionoflulz> bard1988: i think you want SCIM for foreign language input
[23:10] <pg> kelsin: I can't make both sda2 (extended) and sda5 (ext3) bootable.
[23:10] <shaman_> hi
[23:10] <graft> MikeH: df
[23:10] <bard1988> oh i think i got it :P
[23:10] <pg> kelsin: when I make sda5 bootable, sda2 is no longer bootable
[23:10] <bard1988> just a sec
[23:10] <erUSUL> pike_: no sys V init in ubuntu we now use upstart
[23:10] <erUSUL> pike_: /etc/event.d/
[23:10] <alzamabar> how do I install a package from the command line? I've ran the command apt-cache search mysql and it shows something I'd like to install
[23:11] <corruptionoflulz> bard1988: note: SCIM makes things kinda buggy for some people
[23:11] <bard1988> y dun i have hebrew layout?
[23:11] <erUSUL> !upstart
[23:11] <sebrock> is vbetool really needed? seems my computer suspends/resumes better without it?
[23:11] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[23:11] <erUSUL> !upstart > pike_
[23:11] <corruptionoflulz> bard1988: like when you go to type and it doesn't let you.. close scim and it should let you type
[23:11] <mr__daniel> MikeH: you can also use the -h option to make the output much more readable, 'df -h'
[23:11] <Khalil> hello?
[23:11] <MikeH> df
[23:11] <MikeH> that was is
[23:11] <kdub433> dasher is awesome for tablet pc's....
[23:11] <corruptionoflulz> anyone care to refresh my memory on how i get to fstab settings?
[23:11] <bard1988> oh great it works just fine :P
[23:12] <MikeH> thanks graft and mr__daniel
[23:12] <kelsin> pg: make sure you ran grub as root and actually type "root (hd0," before hitting tab
[23:12] <bard1988> now back to ATI 3d rage pro problem
[23:12] <jsoftw> corruptionoflulz: vi /etc/fstab
[23:12] <Freman> erUSUL, well upstart is all good and well, cept it don't start it either
[23:12] <erUSUL> corruptionoflulz: sudo nano /etc/fstab
[23:12] <corruptionoflulz> jsoftw: erUSUL thanks
[23:12] <erUSUL> Freman: what does not start?
[23:12] <Rezagrats> Hi, i need to know, i burn a CD with a load of musik on it, i load the CD into Ubuntu and it rejects it, why? ( the CD is being burned on Windows Vista, Live format )
[23:12] <chuckles_> how do i restart sshd?
[23:12] <Freman> from what I've read, upstart should still read inittab if it's there but doesn't seem to, and I've tried creating an events.d file for it and it's not starting through that either
[23:13] <Freman> I can force it to start.... but it's not starting on runlevel
[23:13] <florian_> why is gpodder unable to download the videos from http://www.polylog.tv/videothek/videocast/rss20.xml ?
[23:13] <Freman> my ssh tunnel
[23:13] <pg> kelsin: ah, thanks.  that lists only hd0,4
[23:13] <kelsin> then that's right, I would switch the boot flag like you did and test, but at least we know (hd0,4) is the right label
[23:14] <erUSUL> Freman: debian/ubuntu doesn't uses different runlevels as RH/fedora/Suse does
[23:14] <Freman> come again?
[23:14] <pg> kelsin: thanks!  OK, I'll try to boot then.
[23:14] <erUSUL> Freman: you add or remove things to the one runlevel with update-rc.d
[23:14] <Condoulo> does anybody know if Flash runs better on youtube on Firefox 3 beta?
[23:14] <mr__daniel> chuckles_: maybe with '/etc/init.d/ssh restart'
[23:14] <kelsin> Freman: can you pastebin your event.d file?
[23:14] <pike_> Rezagrats: im almost certain its a vista problem. does the cd work in your handy dvd/mp3 player?
[23:14]  * genii sips a coffee
[23:14] <Freman> http://paste-bin.com/12767
[23:15] <bard1988> im having problem with Pidgin also
[23:15] <mr__daniel> Rezagrats: what is a or the 'Live format' ?
[23:15] <bard1988> i have only messenger list and no ICQ list
[23:15] <chuckles_> that didnt work, when i try to login my new issue file doesnt show
[23:15] <Rezagrats> Pike_, i'm not burning them as a musik CD i'm burning them with musik files
[23:15] <Freman> erUSUL, I don't want to update-rc.d I want to inittab - different things
[23:15] <xTheGoat121x> Does anyone else here notice that thier CPU runs hotter in Feisty than in XP?
[23:15] <kelsin> Freman: can you paste your sshtunnel script (with hosts change if you want)
[23:15] <sebrock> is there a way to disable vbetool in suspend scripts?
[23:15] <Freman> kelsin, the script works
[23:16] <Freman> it used to run fine
[23:16] <kelsin> in inittab?
[23:16] <pike_> Condoulo: dunno. ive been trying miro a bit for searching videos it has youtube support and while it is horribly out of place on my flux desktop id recommend you try it out
[23:16] <Freman> yeh
[23:16] <kelsin> Freman: anything in message or syslog?
[23:16] <Freman> nope
[23:16] <imbecile> I closed vlc because it started playing the same song over & over. the program looks closed but the song is still playing. any suggestions?
[23:16] <Khalil> where is the theme-manager
[23:16] <Freman> I can run "start ssh1" and it starts
[23:16] <kelsin> Freman: and I'm assuming the script blocks and doesn't exit?
[23:16] <pike_> Rezagrats: this is iso9660 format?
[23:16] <LjL> imbecile: killall -9 vlc
[23:16] <mr__daniel> Rezagrats: maybe Windows is using a proprietary format to burn the music CD
[23:16] <Freman> it's just not doing it automatically
[23:17] <erUSUL> Khalil: system>prefs>apperance
[23:17] <mr__daniel> Rezagrats: you have to check out if windows is using the iso9660 format
[23:17] <bard1988> anyone?
[23:17] <imbecile> ljL: thanks
[23:17] <bard1988> how can I see ICQ list on Pidgin?
[23:17] <Freman> http://paste-bin.com/12768
[23:17] <Memot> Can Winamp run in Ubuntu?
[23:17] <xTheGoat121x> Memot, no.
[23:17] <kelsin> Freman: I would change the start lines to "start on stopped rc2" etc, and see if the problem is network and ssh not being up yet
[23:17] <Memot> :(
[23:17] <pike_> Rezagrats: since this is vista im assuming there is some wierd format or drm issue maybe
[23:17] <LjL> Memot: under WINE, possibly... but why would you want to?
[23:17] <erUSUL> Memot: hi
[23:17] <LjL> !players > Memot    (Memot, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:17] <Freman> the script very much blocks (c:
[23:17] <xTheGoat121x> Memot, you can probably get it to work under Wine
[23:17] <Rezagrats> Mr__daniel, pike_, idk how to check that i'm barely starting, i know noobs like me are annoying but it's people like me that find the smallest of problems
[23:18] <graft> Memot: there's tons of other mp3 players
[23:18] <mafsi> Hi there!
[23:18] <pike_> Memot: xmms and beep are about the same as classic winamp if you like modern winamp then ubuntu has much better alternatives to that
[23:18] <Freman> kelsin, how does that work? I'm in runlevel2 now...
[23:18] <alzamabar> how do I install server apps on my Ubuntu 7.10 gg desktop?
[23:18] <xTheGoat121x> Memot, buthonestly, you're better off using Audacious, or any other of the Winamp-like players.
[23:18] <mafsi> anyone succsefully configured a postfix smtp server here?
[23:18] <Memot> Heh
[23:18] <kelsin> Freman: run "initctl list" you'll see that rc2 is stoped
[23:18] <erUSUL> !postfix | mafsi
[23:18] <ubotu> mafsi: postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[23:18] <pike_> alzamabar: just install em via package manager they will be started automatically
[23:18] <kelsin> Freman: the "rc2" upstart job is stopped technically
[23:19] <mdmcginn> I deleted an ext3 directory, but debugfs: ls suggests its contents are untouched. Can't I just recreate the directory structure? I've been playing all day with debugfs, sleuthkit, foremost and photorec.
[23:19] <Memot> I know there are alot of good alternatives, it's just that i have Winamp since it's first public version xD
[23:19] <Freman> cool, how can I force it to try it now without rebooting?
[23:19] <pike_> alzamabar: an example is openssh-server just isntall it in synaptic and you can ssh to your machine
[23:19] <jsoftw> Meh @ winamp
[23:19] <Memot> I will miss it =3
[23:19] <alzamabar> pike_, em?
[23:19] <mafsi> erUSUL: 10x but i installed i looked over all those helps & still is not working
[23:19] <LjL> Memot: then if you really can't live without it see if you can run it under wine.
[23:19] <jsoftw> Its the same story for lots of software. They make something which works fine, then add heaps of bloat on top of it.
[23:19] <LjL> !appdb > Memot    (Memot, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:19] <graft> Memot: if you're that nostalgic you can run xmms
[23:19] <jsoftw> Then it goes all slow and horrible.
[23:19] <kelsin> Freman: you can stop and start rc2 but I have no idea how that works, since the main problem you're having is ONLY on reboot I would suggest you have to test it that way :-(
[23:20] <Freman> oh well, I guess I'll reboot then and see what happens
[23:20] <Freman> thanks kelsin (c:
[23:20] <kelsin> Freman: but I would assume the probably is a race condition since the default thing just runs rc2 AND your job at the same time right away
[23:20] <Memot> thx
[23:20] <alzamabar> pike_, I'd like to install mysql
[23:20] <kelsin> Freman: you could maybe sleep until you can ping the host in your script as another possible solution (if that's the problem)
[23:20] <xTheGoat121x> My CPU seems to be running a lot hotter in Ubuntu than in XP... is there a way I can fix that?
[23:20] <x_> what's the command line in terminal for Auto Numpad ON in linux startop ?!
[23:20] <hal9k2010> :-P hello all
[23:21] <hal9k2010> need some help installing mplayer
[23:21] <Freman> well, it should be trying to respawn it anyway
[23:21] <Freman> even if all hell breaks loose
[23:21] <pike_> alzamabar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  im no dba sorry
[23:21] <Rezagrats> XTheGoat121x, i have the same problem, i just open the top of my computer a stick a small fan there
[23:21] <sebrock> how do I disable vbetool?
[23:22] <xTheGoat121x> Rezagrats, I'd love to, 'cept this is a laptop.
[23:22] <Rezagrats> Oh
[23:22] <r00tintheb0x> I am so elite.
[23:22] <mafsi> !postfix >mafsi

[23:22] <xTheGoat121x> Gotta run for dinner....
[23:22] <xTheGoat121x> be back in a bit
[23:22] <kelsin> Freman: looks good to me, even if it's wrong you'll just end up with the job not started (visisble in sudo initctl list)
[23:22] <pike_> xTheGoat121x: get an aquarium and fill it with mineral oil then plug in usb keyboard and mouse and an external monitor and drop lappy in the aquarium
[23:23] <Freman> heh, when I telinit 3 it start
[23:23] <pike_> nice and cool
[23:23] <Freman> (it's also visible in ps aux (c: )
[23:23] <Freman> ok, I'll give that a try and reboot

[23:25] <noob101> hi can you combine DDR and DDR2 both have the same modules
[23:25] <DM|> slowthy_ whats the prob
[23:25] <Xsss4hell> hello my bluetooth symbol disappeared, howto make it appear again??
[23:25] <Xsss4hell> need to add my bt mouse
[23:25] <DM|> Xsss4hell: system >prefs ? BT

[23:26] <kitche> x_ http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Hardware/How_to_Get_the_NumLock_Key_to_Stay_On.html
[23:26] <slowthy_> DM|: I when I run the vmware-install.pl script, nothing happens
[23:26] <DM|> slowthy_ whats the output
[23:26] <NightKnight> Greetings.
[23:26] <noob101> hi can you combine DDR and DDR2? Both have the same modules...
[23:26] <bard1988> hey, im having trouble installin ati 3d rage pro on ubuntu 7.10 can anyone help?
[23:26] <Xsss4hell> DM| system >prefs ? There ist nothing for Bluetooth in prefs
[23:27] <mdmcginn> noob101, that might give you the slower speed. A chain is as strong as its weakest link and all that..
[23:27] <DM|> Xsss4hell: Bluetooth preferences under prefs < system
[23:27] <echosystm> anyone know how to get swiftfox?
[23:27] <kelsin> noob101: you can goto crucial.com and put in your motherboard and get a detailed description of what it can take, probably best to look there
[23:27] <bmwerks> how can i stop my title bars from disappearing when i cycle with alt+tab
[23:27] <echosystm> google isnt helping me
[23:27] <mafsi> DM|: any idea to configure correct a postfix?
[23:28] <mdmcginn> bard1988, did you google for ubuntu ati 3d rage pro? That's what I always do first.
[23:28] <DM|> slowthy_ it cant just do nothing, it has to give something, like ask for sudo password or something
[23:28] <void^> noob101: you can only use ddr and ddr2 at the same time if the mainboard's manual explictly allows you to do so.
[23:28] <NightKnight> I mounted a Secondary Drive (Shared Between Linux and Windows) and when I explore it I see folders (System Folders) like "RECYCLER" and "System Volume Information" which don't show up on Windows. Is there any way to "Hide" those 2 folders under Linux?
[23:28] <kelsin> echosystm: http://getswiftfox.com/ that has instructions and a downloadable installer, i would start there
[23:28] <bard1988> mdmcginn: yeah
[23:28] <DM|> mafsi im sorry?
[23:28] <bard1988> mdmcginn: i did... and got practicly nothing
[23:28] <MTecknology> If I have 3 rules in iptables - how can I switch the 2nd and 3rd?
[23:28] <mafsi> DM|:  do you know postfix to configure?
[23:28] <Xsss4hell> DM|	I don'T find it, sorry for inconvienience
[23:29] <mdmcginn> NightKnight, I edited my /etc/fstab or mtab so those wouldn't be mounted.
[23:29] <DM|> Xsss4hell: gutsy?
[23:29] <Xsss4hell> yes
[23:29] <alzamabar> I downloaded a tar.gz file containing Java JDK, extracted it to a folder and I can see there two .bin files. What do I do now?
[23:29] <DM|> mafsi postfix for what? you never asked me a question
[23:29] <eyemean> hello all, any1 installed cinelerra on gutsy and got it working?
[23:29] <erUSUL> !java | alzamabar
[23:29] <ubotu> alzamabar: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[23:29] <DM|> Xsss4hell: try this in a terminal "bluetooth-properties" and look there
[23:29] <mdmcginn> bard1988, that's funny. I thought you'd get dozens of people with the same problem. I have Nvidia myself.
[23:30] <slowthy_> DM|, when I chose run in terminal, a terminal window pops up, the closes
[23:30] <r00tintheb0x> I am so good.
[23:30] <mafsi> DM|: well i just need to send mail via localhost:25 insted of my ISP smtp server
[23:30] <kelsin> alzamabar: delete those files and type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk"
[23:30] <r00tintheb0x> I am a LINUX GOD!
 So you're telling me that there is a way to mount the Hard Drive without mounting some of the folders contained in it?
[23:30] <erUSUL> alzamabar: delete all the files you dled and use the package manager to install java...
[23:30] <DM|> slowthy_ dont run scripts that way
[23:30] <Xsss4hell> The program 'bluetooth-properties' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[23:30] <Xsss4hell> sudo apt-get install bluez-gnome
[23:30] <kitche> mafsi: it's very simple to configure postfix since it's config files are actually documented quite well
[23:30] <SpookyET> Is there a way to make Tracker index Thunderbird?
[23:30] <Xsss4hell> But the strange thing is that it appeared one boot before..?
[23:30] <mafsi> DM|: but may mails remain in queue with the status: cannot connect to yahoo.com -connection timed out
[23:30] <DM|> slowthy_ and that script needs sudo before it,.
[23:31] <askvictor> I need to run an X app in a 'headless' fashion; should I use xserver-dummy or xvfb? what's the easiest way to start this and the app in a nice little script?
[23:31] <DM|> mafsi ... whoa sorry im not sure what you are talking about, sorry, i was talking to someone else before
[23:31] <pablin> hi
[23:31] <mafsi> kitche: i know but my mails remain in wueue; are not send to the address
[23:31] <DM|> !hi | Pablin
[23:31] <ubotu> Pablin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[23:31] <slowthy_> DM|, how do I install it then?  I am fairly new to ubuntu.
[23:31] <pablin> how to install soundblaster xifi extrememusic in ubuntu 7.04 64 bits
[23:32] <pablin> helpppp
[23:32] <mdmcginn> NightKnight, no, I guess not. I had a extra Dell partition that was mounting.
[23:32] <DM|> Xsss4hell:  done any kind of install/removes to software?
[23:32] <kelsin> slowthy_: open up a terminal, browse to where that file is, and the run it with "./vmware-install.pl" or whatever it's called, that way you can see the output
[23:32] <kitche> mafsi: well you probably don't have it configured right but I know yahoo.com is wrong is that when you send it or are you using yahoo for a forwarder?
[23:32] <DM|> slowthy_: ok easy enough, give me the path to the file ( in nautilus ) hit control L and it will highlight the path, paste it in here to me
 I'll check into the fstab then.  Thanks!
[23:32] <NightKnight> Have a good nite guys. Take care.
[23:32] <Xsss4hell> I don't know.. but I'll reboot and come back if the symbol is still not there.. besides I'm typgin from my bluetooth keyboard..
[23:33] <mafsi> kitche: i sent an email via T-Bird but is in queue; is not leaving
[23:33] <slowthy_> wait
[23:33] <slowthy_> its working
[23:33] <sebrock> how do I blacklist a sertain command, like "vbetool"
[23:33] <slowthy_> thanks kelsin
[23:33] <DM|> slowthy_ kk
[23:33] <erUSUL> pablin: creative has drivers in their site afaik
[23:33] <pike_> sebrock: like only root can run?
[23:33] <pablin> ?
[23:33] <Orion_> I dont know if any of you have access to the website but the paragraph on http://www.ubuntu.com/training doesnt make a whole lot of sense
[23:34] <kitche> mafsi: then your configuration is probably not right either by either a dns error or something in postfix's own configuration can't help you without seeing how you have postfix setup really
[23:34] <gordonjcp> sebrock: read up on how sudo works
[23:34] <sebrock> pike_,  no, like noone - its in a several scripts and I dont want to go through the hassle
[23:34] <alzamabar> kelsin, it says: E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-jdk
[23:34] <verb3k> sebrock,  why not delete it?
[23:34] <sebrock> I want to blacklist "vbetool" this is in the suspend.d scripts and is causing shit on my system
[23:34] <sebrock> verb3k, first I want to check this obviously
[23:35] <pike_> sebrock: well i suppose sudo chmod 600 /usr/sbin/vbetool  but i have no idea of the consequences of that
[23:35] <kelsin> alzamabar: you need to enable all of the ubuntu official repos, or you're not on gutsy
[23:35] <sebrock> pike_, still root would be able to execute then?
