[00:00] <zsquareplusc> dmulholland: ssh will of course not compress but the data stream :-)
[00:00] <entwine> somebody to help me :(
[00:00] <rww> PeskyJ: example?
[00:00] <entwine> pfff
[00:00] <entwine> thanks
[00:00] <entwine> for nothing :(
[00:01] <entwine> .off
[00:01] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE: open up a terminal and do lspci. If you can't figure out from its output whether you have a wireless card, copy the output to pastebin, link it here, and we'll let you know.
[00:01] <rww> !pastebin | crunchy_BUMBLE
[00:01] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: you need some sort of tray for the applets. but there are apps you can lauch for valume control (alsamixer, gnome-volume-control )
[00:01] <dmulholland> zsquareplusc, im looking to use disown, any ideas what you would replace [jobspec] with?
[00:01] <PeskyJ> rww: I was looking for LiVES - couldn't find it so went to the home page and it says ubuntu users can get it from getdeb.net
[00:02] <PeskyJ> rww: I've never heard of getdeb before, quite new to ubuntu, but seems like the add/remove manager should know about the same apps
[00:02] <alex_21> How do you install songbird?
[00:02] <zsquareplusc> dmulholland: doesn't "jobs" list the backgrounded processes?
[00:02] <alex_21> And how do you set up wireless on an Acer running 8.10
[00:02] <Thirtysixway> rww: thanks. hopefully it's fixed soon
[00:02] <alex_21> ?
[00:03] <zsquareplusc> emilien: ok, then i misunderstood you. i though your usb kayboard is not working but you can type with it?
[00:04] <AaronX> hello
[00:04] <kostavra> hello folks
[00:04] <emilien> zsquareplusc, no you did not , i have a second keyboard which works but i have a new one which dosn't
[00:04] <rww> PeskyJ: oh, I see. Add/Remove Software only shows software in the official Ubuntu repositories. GetDeb is an unofficial website for packages that aren't in the Ubuntu repositories. If Getdeb was used by Add/Remove Programs, it'd imply that Ubuntu endorses it, which it doesn't.
[00:04] <AaronX> I need a bit of help setting up auto login and VNC on ubuntu install on an external HDD which I am not booting from
[00:05] <rww> PeskyJ: assuming I'm reading Getdeb's about page right, which is not certain, because I'm tired right now >.>
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> emilien: ok, so what i meant is, do you see a differnece in lsusb with the new keyboard plugged in and not plugged in? and did you check dmesg's output?
[00:05] <AaronX> any ideas if there is a way to do it from the command line with the install ex3 partition mounted?
[00:05] <nbeebo> zsquareplusc ive got tray yes, but i want to easily be able to easily mix the sound.. i can always use keyboard tho, but i it wouldnt hurt to have it in tray.. ill guess ill ask others thanks for ur help tho
[00:05] <yell0w> hey guys how do i add a new keyboard shortcuts to gnome ? i'm on 8.04
[00:05] <nbeebo> anyone know any sound mixer for the tray?
[00:05] <rww> Thirtysixway: yeah, me too. I was thinking of installing from the PPA the other day, then realized it was down.
[00:05] <I_3Tum> Does anybody know where I can get this system monitor program like shown on the right of this desktop:   http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/79463-1.jpg
[00:05] <rmitchell> yell0w: system | preferences | keyboard shortcuts
[00:06] <msnbot> hello, I want to use mysql devel package in hardy. what is the name of the package. it has the file mysql.h
[00:06] <nbeebo> 1_3tum its conky
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: appart from just editing the right files, "chroot" is a great tool. you can even run apt-get on the external hd then :-)
[00:06] <yell0w> rmitchell: conky
[00:06] <Thirtysixway> rww:  I have oo3 installed already, it just says application error when it's loading
[00:06] <I_3Tum> thanks
[00:06] <rww> I_3Tum: package conky in... mmm, universe repository I think
[00:06] <phirestalker> linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic=2.6.27-9.19 and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-9-generic=2.6.27-9.13, what gives? shouldn't the versions match so modules can compile correctly? is this something I did wrong? I'm on Intrepid 8.10
[00:06] <rww> Thirtysixway: right, I know. Was saying I hope it gets fixed soon, so I can install it and you can upgrade to a working version :)
[00:06] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: yeah I used chroot to have the partition map to / so I got apt-get running and installing x11vnc
[00:07] <HRshovinstuff> I_3Tum:  that is a screenlet   google:  screenlets
[00:07] <emilien> zsquareplusc,  yes , i tried lsusb did not pick it up
[00:07] <Thirtysixway> rww: ah there's an update for it for the new kernel.  that makes sense.  :)
[00:07] <PeskyJ> rww: I see.. so how are packages decided to be "official ubuntu"?
[00:07] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: but do you know what files to edit for the autologin and Remote desktop settings?
[00:07] <yell0w> rmitchell: that doesn't give me option to add new shortcut to a new program
[00:07] <zsquareplusc> emilien: sounds like a hardware issue.. did you try plugging in something else in that USB port?
[00:07] <rww> Thirtysixway: not sure it was kernel that was the problem. I forget what the maintainer said the other day, and I don't log irc... but yeah, he's working on it.
[00:08] <rmitchell> yell0w: ah, you'll probably have to do it throught the application then
[00:08] <rww> PeskyJ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: autologin shoud be in gdm's config
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: autologin shoud be in gdm's config
[00:08] <HRshovinstuff> Is anyone familiar with the terminal command: renice
[00:08] <test34> I can't get my bluetooth headset to work with ubuntu 8.10.. it is paired but I can't hear or record anything... I tried all devices that were added since I paired the headset.. none work...
[00:08] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: what's the path to that?
[00:08] <rww> HRshovinstuff: a little. What's up?
[00:08] <yell0w> rmitchell: the app does not support it, i need a shortcut to open the program
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: sorry..   and the desktop sharing is maybe available in gnomes registry. not sure
[00:09] <msnbot> what is the mysql devlopment package in ubuntu hardy heron??
[00:09] <emilien> zsquareplusc, sorry , lsub did not pick it up as i unpluged "mystrey keyboard" and lsusb was same input as before , usb is fine as the working keyboard works fine from that usb port
[00:09] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: system wide configs a re in /etc or subfolders of it.   btw if you just want a vnc session on a headless box, consider vncserver
[00:09] <HRshovinstuff> i'm trying to give a -10 priority setting to Wow.exe  but i just get errors in return.  I have also tried the system monitor/preference/ and changed it there, neither works
[00:09] <nbeebo> does any1 know a app to change volume in tray? like in windows
[00:09] <PeskyJ> rww: ta :)
[00:10] <Bax> what's the terminal command for moving a folder, its contents including subfolders, to another folder, aka directory?
[00:10] <msnbot> nbeebo: kmix in kubuntu.
[00:10] <HRshovinstuff> nbeebo;  right click on the gnome panel and click Add to Launcher, then go to the volume
[00:10] <rww> HRshovinstuff: what's the error you're getting?
[00:10] <AaronX> Bax mv -rf from to
[00:10] <cylux> drog: Yes
[00:10] <cylux> drog: Flawlessly on the IDE drive
[00:10] <nbeebo> msnbot: i dont use kde but thats a good thing to google with
[00:10] <GodfatherofEire2> Does anybody know how I could modify the gnome-main-menu?
[00:10] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: can I install vncserver from apt-get?
[00:10] <lazukars_> Running program in Wine -- Where is the correct place to store the .exe file.  In this case evernote.exe
[00:11] <nbeebo> hrshovinstuff im not using gnome-panel, but im using gnome
[00:11] <rmitchell> yell0w: www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/
[00:11] <rww> GodfatherofEire2: right click it and hit Edit Menus?
[00:11] <HRshovinstuff> rww: renice: /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe: bad value
[00:11] <zsquareplusc> emilien: that really sounds like a hardware problem between the cable and your new KB.  two usb keyboards should work fine i had that too
[00:11] <GodfatherofEire2> rww, not that menu, its more like the one in openSUSE?
[00:11] <alex_21> Hi, I need to run an app in wine that depends on msaa and a few other things. How do I do this? It is called Talking Typer
[00:11] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: yes, even several variants, vnc4server, tightvncserver, vncserver
[00:11] <rww> HRshovinstuff: and what are you typing at the command line to get that error?
[00:12] <HRshovinstuff> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78185/
[00:12] <rww> try sudo renice -10 -n /path/to/wow.exe
[00:12] <HRshovinstuff> nbeebo: have you tried screenlets?  there is a trash screenlet that I use
[00:12] <nbeebo> does any1 know an app to change volume in tray? like in windows
[00:13] <rww> HRshovinstuff: sudo renice -10 /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe
[00:13] <emilien> zsquareplusc, here is demsg http://pastebin.com/m5b1a8631
[00:13] <LjL> nbeebo: err... the default volume applet does just that?
[00:13] <HRshovinstuff> rww: yes
[00:13] <rww> ... eek. sudo renice -10 -n /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe
[00:13] <Mal3ko> dmulholland: is this corrent?: scp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-P 1232:~/backup/* mal3ko@serverip -P 6667:~/backup/
[00:13] <HRshovinstuff> rww: what does -n represent?
[00:13] <nbeebo> hrshovinstuff, ops forgot to mention i want it in trayer if i can, multiple reasons...
[00:13]  * rww really needs to never copy paste into irssi again. it never works
[00:13] <knollo14> www.VendettaRulz.kilu.de/Log/Addongegenkeylogger.rar  Hier Ladet euch das Neue Addon gegen keylogger runter
[00:13] <emilien> zsquareplusc, very possible did by it from second hand shop shame really nice keyboard
[00:14] <edju> Every wireless network in the neighborhood, inl mine, is recognized, but I still can't connect.  I thought it was wpa_supplicant, but I changed the encryption to WEP, either open or shared, and still can't connect.  Any hints greatly qppreciated.
[00:14] <HRshovinstuff> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78186/     still does not work please look
[00:14] <zsquareplusc> emilien: it mmay be just the cable. there is something about not able to enumerate. that could indicate a communication problem
[00:15] <zsquareplusc> emilien: the Buffer I/O error on device sdf1 does worry more :/
[00:15] <LjL> nbeebo: gnome-alsamixer possibly, i don't know
[00:15] <emilien> zsquareplusc, what does the buffer I/o error mean ?
[00:15] <nbeebo> ljl yeah but no gnome-panel.... ill try
[00:16] <zsquareplusc> emilien: looks like there was a write error on your external disk. at least the message is not repeated, just once
[00:16] <rww> HRshovinstuff: hmm. If you know the process's PID, you could use sudo renice -10 -p NUMBER instead. You can get the PID from ps -AH (it's the left-most number in the output)
[00:16] <LjL> nbeebo: if it doesn't have to be GNOME, then there's probably a few options
[00:16] <LjL> nbeebo: the KDE volume applet is a tray applet, for instance
[00:16] <dmulholland> Mal3ko, as i remember the -P needs to go before the usrer@location:~/ but I would try it first
[00:16] <GodfatherofEire2> Anybody know how to modify the gnome-main-menu (the one that looks like the one from openSUSE), specifically the right/system panel?
[00:16] <rww> HRshovinstuff: or, it might be because you're passing it the path, so you could also try just putting WoW.exe instead of the whole path. Or, since it's wine, try wine. Could be a few things...
[00:17] <nbeebo> ljl, yep but im using plain old gnome without gnome-panel.. trying to clean the screen up same time look good..
[00:17] <Tekno> I hear couple static snaps in audio
[00:17] <Tekno> then it drops
[00:17] <Tekno> :|
[00:17] <dmulholland> so it would be scp -P 1232 mal3ko@example:~/ -P 6667 malko@server.com:~/
[00:17] <Tekno> does anyone want to test my stream?
[00:17] <rww> HRshovinstuff: sorry, Wow.exe, not WoW.exe
[00:17] <Tekno> what could be wrong
[00:17] <Tekno> :|
[00:17] <FloodBot1> Tekno: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:17] <Mal3ko> thanks!
[00:18] <HRshovinstuff> rww:  testing....
[00:18] <applegainer> morning
[00:18] <rww> HRshovinstuff: but really, I'd probably just find the process in ps -AH, then do -p NUMBER. It's more reliable...
[00:18] <ravalox> Oy, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I have no sound!  I tried removing pulseaudio and I'm still getting no sound of any kind.
[00:18] <coremaster> Hello. I installed a package but the application is not showing on the menu.Can anyone help me?
[00:18] <ravalox> Anyone have any suggestions?
[00:18] <Bax> can I move multiple folders using the command mv -rf?  And isn't the command supposed to be mv -f?
[00:18] <rww> coremaster: which package?
[00:19] <coremaster> a compile: emacs
[00:19] <zsquareplusc> Bax: you can only move several sources to one destination
[00:19] <emilien> zsquareplusc, i think it is my cdrom i get a lots of errors when i boot with cd inside cdrom
[00:19] <applegainer> good morning..

[00:19] <applegainer> when start my computer
[00:20] <applegainer> errro:Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds
[00:20] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: maybe oyu should put your question differently or you will always get responses on how to use the gnome applet.
[00:20] <drog> where is the linux "hosts" file
[00:20] <alan_> rww heres the pastebin output. i think it doest have (or doesnt' recognise) the wireless card
[00:20] <rww> drog: /etc/hosts
[00:20] <drog> rww, makes sense -_-"
[00:20] <alan_> rww oops http://paste.ubuntu.com/78187/
[00:20] <nbeebo> zsquareplusc yeah i know but i suck at explaining
[00:21] <applegainer> Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds,any one can help me???
[00:21] <HRshovinstuff> rww:  thank you so much!! its all about the pids !! awesome!
[00:21] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: why are you running an old gnome without panel? you can set panels to autohide too, if space is the problem
[00:21] <john> is there something i need to do in 8.10 to enable a com  mouse?
[00:21] <rww> HRshovinstuff: awesome. You're welcome :)
[00:22] <mrwes> re
[00:22] <rww> coremaster: Hmm. Yeah, you're right, no icon. That's odd... You could add one manually by right-clicking the menu icon and clicking Edit Menus
[00:22] <asclepius> hey guys does anyone know how to get a mouse and keyboard to automatically find a mouse and keyboard on startup
[00:22] <rww> !msg | coremaster
[00:22] <asclepius> oops
[00:22] <nbeebo> zsquareplusc, u can see a small part of it with autohide and it feels good to control most in tray, less to think about
[00:22] <alan_> i went and got a cisco aeronet 350 i had laying around and plugged it in, thinking that would fix things. no go. is there a process to automatically detecting a change in hardware
[00:22] <asclepius> bluetooth to automatically find a mouse and keyboard
[00:23] <jose__> iae
[00:23] <asclepius> I just bought a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and i always have to set it up before it will work
[00:23] <forcumang> is there a package for gtk+ in the repos?
[00:23] <axeus> Hello. I just used GParted and resized my Ubuntu Partition, and then installed Windows XP on the new space. And I forgot to backup the MBR. Now I can only get it to boot to Windows XP. Is there any way I can redo the boot record so I can point it to GRUB/LILO?
[00:23] <coremaster> ok tyvm
[00:24] <rww> coremaster: Wow, even weirder. I just did that, and there are entries in Edit Menus for emacs under Accessories...
[00:24] <drog> axeus, yes, boot into the live cd and do a grub-install
[00:24] <coremaster> shouldnt it be in programming?
[00:24] <rww> coremaster: see the little boxes by the entries? Uncheck and recheck them. That makes icons show up for me.
[00:24] <tyler_d3> help mounting an sd card please?
[00:24] <cutterjohn> Hate to bother you guys again, but I tracked down the LCD panel in my notebook to a Samsung ltn154p3-l01, however I find no horizsync or vertrefresh values listed?  Do LCD panels use generic, i.e. same numbers as more or less placeholders?  (Apparently I need to specify modelines because of EDID parsing failure, bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194760)
[00:24] <Guest59299> how do i change the login screen resolution?
[00:24] <rww> coremaster: nope. Text editors go in Accessories, generally.
[00:24] <axeus> drog: Thanks.
[00:24] <coremaster> oh you are right
[00:24] <cutterjohn> oops that a ltn154p4-l01
[00:24] <Guest59299> after i login it's fine, but the resolution at the login screen is too high
[00:25] <rww> coremaster: though it could be argued that emacs is an operating system :P
[00:25] <antonio_> hola
[00:25] <nbeebo> is there a tray applet to change sound volume?
[00:25] <rww> !grub | axeus: first link
[00:25] <veronika89> sera
[00:25] <mrwes> Guest59299, hrmm... try startup manager
[00:25] <flynch1> Slighttly OT - anyone our there built/using an MSI wind box?
[00:25] <rww> coremaster: did that uncheck/check thing make an icon show up for you too?
[00:26] <coremaster> one sec
[00:26] <crunchy_BUMBLE_> rww sorry that took so long http://paste.ubuntu.com/78187/
[00:26] <mrwes> sigh...
[00:26] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE_: sorry, I have a brain like a sieve... what was your problem again? You didn't know if you have a wireless card or something?
[00:27] <coremaster> yes its showing now ty very much :)
[00:27] <crunchbang_07> hi
[00:27] <nbeebo> how do u change ur volume from the tray without any panel?

[00:27] <crunchbang_07> what you guys would use to recover data from ext2?
[00:27] <applegainer> who can tell me why
[00:27] <applegainer> ?
[00:27] <applegainer> there are 2 questions:1. (Connection reset by peer),why???2. Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds, Howto???
[00:27] <forcumang> what's the package name in the repos for gtk+ ?
[00:27] <forcumang> library
[00:27] <crunchbang_07> did not unmount clean due a power loos
[00:27] <crunchbang_07> loss
[00:27] <crunchy_BUMBLE_> rww dont know if i have a wireless card, how to manage wifi networks and hardware configs in 8.10
[00:28] <forcumang> crunchy_BUMBLE_: use mount -f
[00:28] <jose__> iae
[00:28] <forcumang> it forces the mount, then you can unmount it correctly
[00:28] <Guest59299> how do i get to the startup manager?
[00:29] <cutterjohn> shouldn't he run fsckon it first?
[00:29] <zsquareplusc> crunchbang_07, fsck can repair filesystems. otherwise /msg ubottu recover
[00:29] <forcumang> ah yeah sorry
[00:29] <nbeebo> does any1 know an app to change volume in tray? like in windows
[00:29] <Wald1> How do I change the default action for a USB device when it is plugged in?
[00:29] <crunchbang_07> tx
[00:29] <forcumang> nbeebo: there is a sound applet that comes with ubuntu
[00:29] <cutterjohn> anyone on sync and refresh values to manually specify modelines for an LCD panel to override faulty EDID?
[00:30] <crunchbang_07> will try
[00:30] <cutterjohn> are they even needed?
[00:30] <LMJ> hi
[00:30] <LMJ> Got a nasty error with my 2 md devices :  EXT2-fs warning (device md0): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2       I've fsck'ed them several time but it still not good. What can I do please ?

[00:31] <crunchbang_07> LMJ: that's even nastier tan mine, sorry :)
[00:31] <forcumang> from any DE?
[00:31] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE_: okay. I don't see a wireless card in that ouput. To manage wifi networks, System -> Preferences -> Network Tools or wicd (I prefer wicd, because NetworkManager doesn't work properly for me, but ymmv). Not sure about seeing hardware information, but I'm looking...
[00:31] <chetnick> Hi, i have a PCMCIA card that worked on the old laptop with ubuntu. Now i got new laptop which have express card slot. I want to buy PCMCIA to Express card adapter. Is it still going to work through adapter?
[00:31] <rmitchell> nbeebo, how do you have a tray without a panel?
[00:31] <rww> rmitchell: I was wondering that too, but thought I was being dense...
[00:31] <Dr_willis_> !info alltray
[00:32] <crunchbang_07> eheheheheh
[00:32] <shanepardue> How do I change the color of the blank screen that pops up right before ubuntu is fully logged in with my wallpaper and such? I don't see the color Ubuntu is using in the login window settings or wallpaper
[00:32] <crunchbang_07> linux rox
[00:32] <Dr_willis_> rmitchell  theres stand alone system-trays  also.
[00:32] <nbeebo> rmithell, trayer or stalonetray
[00:32] <applegainer> pidgin:Connection reset by peer??
[00:32] <applegainer> why???
[00:32] <applegainer> pidgin:Connection reset by peer??
[00:32] <Dr_willis_> applegainer  you lagged out?
[00:33] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE_: for hardware information, install package gnome-device-manager, then look under Applications>System Tools>Device Manager
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> LMJ: how are you mounting it?
[00:33] <LMJ> mount /a/dir
[00:33] <rmitchell> nbeebo, i think you'd have to check with whatever app provides your tray, i have no expirence with standalone trays, sorry
[00:33] <axeus> Hmm.
[00:33] <ty> sup people
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> LMJ: so you have an /etc/fstab entry. is it saying ext3 there?
[00:33] <LMJ> wrote in /etc/fstab since ages zsquareplusc , worked like a charme during 8 months
[00:33] <rww> shanepardue: what color is it? brown?
[00:33] <LMJ> yes zsquareplusc
[00:34] <ty> what we talkin bout today?
[00:34] <viaSanctus> i've been told ubuntu is better than mandriva for server systems
[00:34] <shanepardue> It used to be brown yeah, a theme I installed with a script changed it and I can't get it back to the brown
[00:34] <ty> it is
[00:34] <shanepardue> rww:
[00:34] <mrwes> ty: Ubuntu...and ONLY Ubuntu :)
[00:34] <ty> ok
[00:34] <mrwes> heh
[00:34] <mrwes> jk
[00:34] <nbeebo> rmithell, theres more or less a model for all trays in linux, so all tray apps works the same..
[00:34] <ty> Ubuntu rocks
[00:34] <axeus> I'm trying to use grub-install from my GParted-Live CD. I'm getting the results: "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/". Along with "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /". I'm using "grub-install hd0". The Device.map looks to be right.
[00:34] <mrwes> wow...openssh-server rocks!
[00:35] <viaSanctus> to be honest..by the shell i wouldnt know if i was using version 1 of the first linux kernel ever or latest ubuntu
[00:35] <axeus> Perhaps it has a bugged version of grub?
[00:35] <viaSanctus> simply want to save myself the comments ;)
[00:35] <rww> shanepardue: It's not System > Administration > Login Window > Local (tab) > Background color: ?
[00:35] <heret1c> is there a system monitor panel applet which is a bit smoother/polished than the default one? shaded graphs, no mouseover "0%"-ing, ...
[00:35] <jenny_Carlos> Ok this is going to sound stupid.  But ive always used Su  or Su - to go root ,  IF I try this in ubuntu I get Authentication Failure?  I dont recall the option to set a root pasword when installing unbuntu.
[00:35] <rww> !root | jenny_Carlos
[00:35] <cutterjohn> sudo -i
[00:35] <viaSanctus> jenny_Carlos, you gotta be kidding me, su - doesnt work in ubuntu?
[00:35] <ty> or sudo su
[00:35] <mrwes> jenny_Carlos, the root account is disabled by default, use sudo
[00:35] <zsquareplusc> LMJ: you may need to play with tune2fs :/
[00:35] <Dr_willis_> jenny_Carlos  use sudo -i or sudo -s, do NOT use sudo su.
[00:35] <ty> ok
[00:36] <shanepardue> rww: No sir
[00:36] <rww> jenny_Carlos: if you need a root prompt, sudo -i
[00:36] <ty> what does sudo su do
[00:36] <ty> dif
[00:36] <Dr_willis_> jenny_Carlos  su dosent work due to root not having a password at all. thus root is locked.
[00:36] <ty> ?
[00:36] <ty> root pass is same as users pass
[00:36] <cutterjohn> it's a security feature
[00:36] <LMJ> yes zamba, tune2fs, gonna force my FS to ext2 and switch back to ext3 and try to mount it by hand
[00:36] <rww> ty: root prompt
[00:36] <mrwes> jenny_Carlos, or try a gksudo nautilus
[00:36] <Dr_willis_> ty  theres a web site that detauls it.. sudo su - is redundant, and dosent set all the enviroment variables right
[00:36] <shanepardue> rww: I know that's where it used to be before Hardy or maybe it was Gutsy
[00:36] <LMJ> brb
[00:36] <PeskyJ> um.. I use sudo su all the time... much easier than typing sudo before each command... what's wrong with using that?
[00:36] <tonibuntu> guys can anyone please please help me find a suitable driver for a multi function lexmark x5410, its not detected in the print configurator ....
[00:36] <ty> oh
[00:36] <cutterjohn> unless you use stupid default confs for sudo...
[00:36] <rww> ty: no, it's not. Root account is disabled by default.
[00:36] <cg_> hi all, I understand the minimum number of disks required for a raid-5 array under mdadm is 3, or could you run it 'okay', albeit degraded, with only 2 disks?
[00:36] <ty> openprinting.org
[00:36] <LMJ> yes zsquareplusc , tune2fs, gonna force my FS to ext2 and switch back to ext3 and try to mount it by hand
[00:36] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  but 'sudo -s' is the proper way, (or sudo -i)
[00:36] <ty> not it aint
[00:37] <ty> i use sudo su all the time man
[00:37] <ty> works great
[00:37] <mrwes> nods
[00:37] <rww> shanepardue: Yeah, I'm using intrepid, and that's where it is for me =/
[00:37] <zsquareplusc> !enter | ty
[00:37] <viaSanctus> there isnt even belgium as country option
[00:37] <Dr_willis_> ty  there are issues , you may not have stumbled upon them.. but there are issues..
[00:37] <viaSanctus> sigh
[00:37] <viaSanctus> starts of bad..
[00:37] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: oh ok, ta, I didn't know that
[00:37] <mrwes> rut row
[00:37] <shanepardue> rww: I see a place to set the color, but if you were to change it, it won't affect your login color like it used to
[00:37] <ty> i know
[00:38] <rww> shanepardue: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[00:38] <shanepardue> rww: intrepid

[00:38] <cutterjohn> pfft
[00:38] <Tekno> how can I downgrade VLC
[00:38] <mrwes> !info more beer
[00:38] <mrwes> uh?
[00:38] <mrwes> heh
[00:38] <rww> shanepardue: Ah. I remember that whole window was bugged out in hardy. Thought it was fixed in intrepid...
[00:38] <ty> lol
[00:38] <rww> rofl
[00:38] <rww> beer is too a valid distribution!
[00:39] <Tekno> ok
[00:39] <jenny_Carlos> So what is the technical diff between sudo -i and sudo -s ?
[00:39] <crunchbang_07> Tekno, uninstall and then find a deb in sourceforge or somewhere else
[00:39] <shanepardue> rww: Well, that sucks! :)
[00:39] <crunchbang_07> latter
[00:39] <Tekno> tell me another application than VLC
[00:39] <Tekno> i'm so tired of tweaking it
[00:39] <ty> l8r peoples
[00:39] <PeskyJ> Sometimes I see a light-gray border around windows and popup menus, I think it's where the window shadow is supposed to be, is there any reason for this or is it just some random bug?
[00:39] <mrwes> jenny_Carlos, for a GUI root access, try alt F2 and type in gksudo nautilus
[00:39] <mrwes> l8r ty
[00:39] <LF|Irssi> !players
[00:39] <Rioting_pacifist> jenny the affect whose ./bashrc is run and the enviromental variables, man sudo for more information
[00:40] <mrwes> Rioting_pacifist, nice nik..heh
[00:40] <peterm> hi i build a new nic into my pc which is identified by lspci as ,,00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)'' and even dmesg sees her as ,,eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xd400, 00:e0:4c:b0:16:be, IRQ 16''
[00:40] <peterm> but if i do a ,,sudo ifup eth1'' it says ,,no such interface'' :-(
[00:40] <asclepius> Does anyone know how to get a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to autoconnect at startup
[00:40] <peterm> what did i forget?
[00:40] <cutterjohn> jenny_carlos: -i loads the root user profile setup, like su -, while -s doesn't like plain su
[00:41] <jenny_Carlos> Thats for info everyone :).   Ive never used the sudo commands before i dont command line a lot lol newb
[00:41] <jenny_Carlos> Thanks :)
[00:41] <mrwes> nadda
[00:42] <Rioting_pacifist> Tekno: if your looking for a player that will play anything try mplayer (or whatever gnome frontend there is for it)
[00:42] <viaSanctus> never saw a person get so many answers..
[00:42] <viaSanctus> and all the same
[00:42] <cutterjohn> LCD panels, do they really use those nasty sync and refresh values fo rmodeline overrides and/or use generic values common across all LCDs?
[00:42] <mrwes> must be her nik aye?
[00:42] <mrwes> heh
[00:42] <kenvin1982> say  mrwes
[00:42] <rww> viaSanctus: someone wandered in the other day and got mad when about five people told them the same thing. Apparently too much help is bad...
[00:42] <kenvin1982> mrwes
[00:42] <mrwes> yes?
[00:42] <dmajnem> does anybody have a clue as to what would make DNS unhappy?
[00:42] <evaryont_> I'd like to uninstall lirc (and replace it w/ a later compiled version w/ a few patches) w/o uninstalling mythbuntu-lirc-generator (which lists lirc as a dependency)
[00:42] <kenvin1982> mrwes
[00:43] <mrwes> hrmmm
[00:43] <viaSanctus> i think it has more to do with "jenny"
[00:43] <viaSanctus> i mean
[00:43] <viaSanctus> how many women are here?
[00:43] <cutterjohn> clinet or server DNS?  If server have fun...
[00:43] <viaSanctus> ask a q, let her ask the q
[00:43] <mrwes>  /ignore kenvin1982
[00:43] <mrwes> er
[00:43] <viaSanctus> and then add it to bash.org
[00:43] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: client
[00:43] <nbeebo> im a girl tihihihihihih ^_^ not
[00:43] <rww> viaSanctus: #ubuntu-women :P
[00:44] <asclepius> anyone know how to see the bluetooth numbers instead of the name?
[00:44] <LjL> !offtopic
[00:44] <mrwes> rut row
[00:44] <exodus_ms> how come I can use xchat but my firefox cannot connect to internet?
[00:44] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: does nslookup and/or other DNS access CLi tools work?
[00:44] <viaSanctus> ok sorry...please join me to offtopic, to discuss this very important subject :p
[00:44] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: e.g. dig
[00:44] <zsquareplusc> exodus_ms: have oyu set a proxy?
[00:44]  * viaSanctus sighs
[00:45] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: nslookup is unhappy
[00:45] <jose__> hilton
[00:45] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: how?
[00:45] <Hilton> fala jose
[00:45] <dmajnem> all it does is hang there
[00:45] <martyd> can anyone explain what "mv * .." would perform?
[00:45] <dmajnem> as does dig
[00:45] <exodus_ms> zsquareplusc, no, I have had ff and xchat runnin all day. closed ff and now i cant get a connection
[00:45] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[00:45] <LjL> !pt | Hilton
[00:45] <dmajnem> dig finally returned: "connect timed out; no servers could be reached"
[00:45] <zsquareplusc> exodus_ms: set it to offline mode?
[00:46] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: you can use the server command in nslookup to attempt to use another server foir the lookup... if it works, whatever DNS server you're trying to use is likely misconfigured or down
[00:46] <Yahovah> exodus_ms: I don't believe that is expected behavior with recent versions.
[00:46] <LF|Irssi> martyd: be really careful when someone tails you to perform 'mv or rm' commands
[00:46] <Hilton> vou tentar
[00:46] <LF|Irssi> tells*
[00:46] <Yahovah> dmajnem: Just use dig.
[00:46] <rww> martyd: move all files and directories in the current directory into the one higher up in the current path. For example, if I were in ~/test/test2 and did that, everything in test2 would end up in test
[00:46] <nbeebo> so.. anyone know any tray application for changing the sound??? like in winblows
[00:47] <Yahovah> nbeebo: Alsamixer
[00:47] <martyd> LF|Irssi, thanks. that's exactly what i need to do :)
[00:47] <exodus_ms> Yahovah, i would not expect it either...
[00:47] <h4x0r> when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do?
[00:47] <mrwes> Is there anyway to save login information when using openssh-server, or do I have to type the server name in everytime I connect?
[00:47] <LF|Irssi> martyd: i think you need to thank rww not me :)
[00:48] <exodus_ms> zsquareplusc, no
[00:48] <Yahovah> mrwes: Look up ssh keys. Specifically ssh-keygen
[00:48] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: how?
[00:48] <martyd> rww, thank you also! :)
[00:48] <mrwes> Yahovah, uh?
[00:48] <runelind> helping a friend install ubuntu and when we enabled the nvidia drivers and rebooted, x11 won't start.  I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-xorg but that doesn't seem to resolve the issue
[00:48] <rww> mrwes: to avoid typing in the server name, look in man ssh_config
[00:48] <runelind> how can I repair xorg?
[00:48] <rww> martyd: you're welcome :)
[00:48] <Maveas> What is the cmd tasksel?
[00:48] <mrwes> rww: Ok
[00:48] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  just make an alias that does 'ssh whatever'
[00:48] <nbeebo> yahovah so hows that a tray application?
[00:48] <h4x0r>  when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do?
[00:48] <Hilton> Jose
[00:48] <PeskyJ> is there a shortcut key to change themes? My kids somehow managed to break all the theme settings and things went pretty straing, but selecting human again seemed to fix it, though all the Compiz settings were reset!
[00:48] <bzampieri> oi
[00:49] <rww> mrwes: you'd make a host block named with a shortcut name, then set HostName to the actual name
[00:49] <exodus_ms> Yahovah, could you explain?
[00:49] <Yahovah> exodus_ms: Explain what?
[00:49] <Cavisty^gerber> Is there any way to boot a windows HD in an entirely different computer?
[00:50] <Yahovah> Cavisty^gerber: XP/Vista may complain about activation.
[00:50] <Flannel> Cavisty^gerber: You should ask in ##windows
[00:50] <rww> !windows | Cavisty^gerber
[00:50] <nbeebo> cavisty^gerber little offtopic but u theres guides to run windows from ur hd in a virtual computer like virtualbox
[00:50] <h4x0r>  when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do?
[00:50] <jose__> hli
[00:50] <rww> mrwes: and if you need to save passwords too, look up ssh-keygen as Yahovah said
[00:51] <jose__> hilton
[00:51] <h4x0r> does that happen to anybody?
[00:51] <jose__> hilton
[00:51] <Maveas> Is there any way I can mount and virtualize my XP partion?
[00:51] <shade34321> does anybody know how to do a manual install of ubuntu that can walk me through it?
[00:51] <ryty> if there are more than one scripts with say S20facilityname inside of /etc/rc3.d, how does init determine which one to call first?
[00:52] <ryty> does it go alphabetically?
[00:52] <Dr_willis_> Maveas  it can be done in vmware i recall.. but not recomended.   ive not tried it in ages...
[00:52] <nbeebo> shade34321 theres a billion guides tho
[00:52] <h4x0r> shade34 whats if your problem installing ubuntu
[00:52] <asclepius> how do you find the mac address of a keyboard
[00:52] <Dr_willis_> ryty  whats the exact names? it does them in order I reccall
[00:52] <h4x0r> i help you out
[00:52] <rww> ryty: depends on the value of CONCURRENCY. If it matters which order they go in, you really should fix the numbers.
[00:52] <shade34321> im trying to find them....but none of them seem to work....last time it messed up my xp partition
[00:52] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[00:52] <ryty> Dr_willis_: it's complicated, I want to add my own
[00:53] <shade34321> right now im in gparted trying to set up my ubuntu partition with a swap
[00:53] <Flannel> shade34321: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[00:53] <ryty> rww: that's what I was thinking
[00:53] <shade34321> thanks
[00:53] <Dr_willis_> ryty   read that README thats in the  directory (or was it in /etc/rc.d/) it explains the ##. dependng on what you need to do.. give it a proper # to start up at a specicc order in the strtuo
[00:54] <asclepius> how do you make ubuntu automatically log you in, instead of making me type in my username
[00:54] <shad0w0fsin> hey everyone, I was looking through my dmesg trying to find things that took up alot of time and I found this line "NET: Registered protocol family 17" _ does anyone know what this does?
[00:54] <rww> ryty: for a while, dbus and hal had the same number... was a huge headache if people set CONCURRENCY=shell in /etc/init.d/rc...
[00:54] <Yahovah> shad0w0fsin: Don't worry about it.
[00:54] <rww> asclepius: System > Administration > Login Window > Security tab > Enable Automatic Login
[00:55] <Bax> what's the terminal command to delete a folder and all of its subfolders and contents within?
[00:55] <Yahovah> Bax: rm -r
[00:55] <rww> Bax: rm -r. If you get errors, sudo rm -r, or sudo rm -rf
[00:56] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: ?
[00:56] <ryty> time to test. Thanks rww and Dr_willis_
[00:56] <nbeebo> !rm
[00:56] <rww> Bax: before you issue such commands, triple-check that you entered them right... I say this from experience...
[00:56] <shade34321> why not use rmdir?
[00:56] <shade34321> it's job is to remove directories
[00:56] <asclepius> thanks rww
[00:56]  * zsquareplusc always shrugs when ppl sugest to use rm -r just one little space at the wrong place there there it is, your lost data nightmare
[00:56] <Bax> shade34321:  try it on a directory that's not empty
[00:56] <mrwes> rww: with an ssh alias in the config file, it's better to have a static IP ?
[00:56] <Yahovah> shade34321: rmdir doesn't do what you think it does.
[00:57] <shade34321> ok...i just manned it
[00:57] <shade34321> i see that it's only for empty directories...
[00:57] <Thirtysixway> in php can I use a  foreach inside of another foreach?
[00:57] <shade34321> when setting up a swap partition...does it need to be a primariy partition or extended?
[00:57] <rww> mrwes: not sure what you mean. Can you rephrase the question?
[00:57] <rww> shade34321: doesn't matter
[00:57] <thuan> toi la thuan, toi den tu vietnam
[00:57] <shade34321> ok
[00:57] <LF|Irssi> !English
[00:57] <Dr_willis_> shade34321  extended partitions hold logical.. swap can be a primary or logical.. and it dosent matter
[00:58] <shade34321> ok
[00:58] <Dr_willis_> shade34321  i tend to use swap if possible.
[00:58] <shade34321> thanks
[00:58] <Dr_willis_> shade34321  i tend to use Primarys :) if possible.
[00:58] <mrwes> rww: Ok...I setup my ~/.ssh/config file with my desktop, but if I'm using DHCP won't the IP change..potentially
[00:58] <savage> quick question: I (as a regular user) can mount this NTFS partition, but I can only view the files as root
[00:58] <Yahovah> mrwes: Yes. Set up a static assignment with your DHCPd.
[00:58] <mrwes> Yahovah, Ok...that's what I thought...thanks
[00:58] <zsquareplusc> savage: missed the uid/gid options in fstab?
[00:58] <thuan> co bac nao den tu viet nam khong?
[00:59] <rww> mrwes: what Yahovah said, or set up a dynamic DNS thingie like DynDNS
[00:59] <rww> mrwes: (I forget the technical term for them...)
[00:59] <m1dn1ght> mrwes: I use the no-ip service to get around that - my ISP has me on a dynamic ISP so the I set up an account and installed the noip2 package which updates them with my new IP automatically so I can just connect to a hostname
[00:59] <savage> zsquareplusc: what do you mean exactly?
[00:59] <Yahovah> mrwes: Is this a WAN or LAN address?
[01:00] <savage> zsquareplusc>:/dev/sda2       /mnt/hd         ntfs    auto,users      0       0
[01:00] <m1dn1ght> mrwes: err - dynamic IP address I mean
[01:00] <zsquareplusc> savage: without uid/gid the file permissions will be mapped to root. you have to map them to yourself
[01:00] <nbeebo> so.. anyone know any tray application for changing the sound??? like in winblows
[01:00] <rww> zsquareplusc: how do you do that? uid=username,gid=groupname?
[01:00] <Mal3ko> how do we check system log, security logs etc..ssh bruteforce attack?
[01:01] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  clarify 'changing the sound'  You mean changing the volume?
[01:01] <Yahovah> Mal3ko: syslogd
[01:01] <zsquareplusc> rww: savage yes, like that, appended after users,..
[01:01] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ yeah ill chance asap
[01:01] <mrwes> Yahovah, LAN...from a router
[01:01] <mrwes> Yahovah, how do I do that in 8.10?
[01:01] <mrwes> static IP that is
[01:01] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ change*
[01:01] <Mal3ko> Yahovah: yea but i need to see the logs
[01:01] <Yahovah> mrwes: Okay, no-ip/dyndns won't work then. They both block IANA private space.
[01:01] <tripitakit> Mal3ko, system/administration/..
[01:02] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  theres a volume controll gnome panel applet   :) its there in the add to panel applet dialogs
[01:02] <savage> awesome thank you zsquare
[01:02] <cutterjohn> well, I just had the weirdest thing happen, like a key got stuck on the keyboard that wouldn't free up, kept repeating d, mouse not responding no hw buttons responding, had to go to AC gank the battery then the AC...
[01:02] <Mal3ko> tripitakit: ubuntu server here
[01:02] <savage> just added uid=##
[01:02] <mrwes> Yahovah, I have static on my desktop running 8.04, but not on my laptop running 8.10
[01:02] <Yahovah> mrwes: Static leases are controlled by the DHCPd. You'll want to configure it there. Alternatively, you can change your Ubuntu box to a static IP with system -> administration -> network in GNOME.
[01:02] <savage> take care everyone
[01:02] <tripitakit> Mal3ko, ops sorry, /var/log/...
[01:02] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ yep i should add that too.. im not using and desktop panel..
[01:02] <mrwes> Yahovah, ok
[01:03] <rww> zsquareplusc: is there a way to set it so that /any/ user can mount, not just one (assuming setting uid=username makes it so only username can read stuff...)
[01:03] <Yahovah> mrwes: I would change it on the DHCPd (router) if possible, though. It's seamless.
[01:03] <cutterjohn> (wouldn't even suspend...)
[01:03] <zsquareplusc> rww: that's what groups are for. you can also set the m world readable, but who wants that ;-)
[01:03] <mrwes> Yahovah,  Oh...I've never done that on a router
[01:03] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  run a  systray tool then if you must have such a icon.. or one of the windowmaker dock apps.. or perhaps  some of the gdesklets/applets tools...
[01:04] <shanepardue> rww: I managed to change the color by changing the login window theme then back to the default again. Could you provide the # of the default login window background color?
[01:04] <rww> zsquareplusc: good point. thanks :)
[01:04] <Yahovah> mrwes: It just makes the router give certain IPs to certain mac addresses. Static DHCP leases.

[01:07] <Azizco910> i need internetzzz
[01:07] <rww> Azizco910: the people here are volunteers, not your paid employees
[01:07] <maybeway36> wireless is hard in linux
[01:07] <cutterjohn> omg---bbq?!
[01:08] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  stalonetray    seems to work very well.. but  the issue is i guess you want a 'not a gnome panel applet' mixer utility.  that runs in the system tray. :)
[01:08] <rww> !lol    ( :P )
[01:08] <tripitakit> Azizco910, what wifi card ?
[01:08] <rww> !lol | oh wait no i lied
[01:09] <heret1c> is there a system monitor panel applet which is a bit smoother/polished than the default one? shaded graphs, no mouseover "0%"-ing, ...
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  xfce may have such a tool.
[01:09] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ personally i use trayer, got lots of run commands and stuff... so my vision is to use only that, avant window manager, conky and ttm2
[01:09] <Azizco910> Tripitakit
[01:09] <Jophish> hi all
[01:09] <Azizco910> Tripitakit hang on
[01:09] <brut-> g'day everyone
[01:09] <PeskyJ> hum.. the numeric keypad keys won't type numbers regardless of numlock state - any idea how to fix this?
[01:09] <GleepGlop> how do i stop ubuntu from automounting HFS+  partitions
[01:09] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ hmm maybe
[01:09] <ghang> Hi , my mplayer play with vn code , how can I set it to become x11 code?
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  i recall awm havin some sort of systray thing.. but i found awm  so flakey it was unuseable.
[01:10] <black_13> is it possible to run xorg in a chroot?
[01:10] <zsquareplusc> PeskyJ: shift+ctrl+numlock
[01:10] <cutterjohn> hey, guys do you think that the above from the syslog might've been the cause for my hardlock(sort of IRC kept scrolling new messages but no mouse, no hw keys, no suspend, etc.)? Had to pull the battery then AC to get out of it after trying evrytthing else that I could think of
[01:10] <Jophish> I seem to have messed up my keyboard layout, and nothing I can do can gt it back to how it was before
[01:10] <Jophish> there is nothing about my keyboard in xorg
[01:10] <PeskyJ> zsquareplusc: wow, thanks :) what feature is that?
[01:10] <brut-> quick question: anyone else run into the forcedeth driver glitch with ubuntu and the latest kernel they're pushing down (2.6.27-9)? My ethernet card keep dropping out after a few hours with that classic forcedeth glitch, but I didn't have this bug with my old install...
[01:10] <Azizco910> (CPU) Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz, x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 8, GenuineIntel - Central Processor - Load: %100 - 1729 Mhz
[01:10] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ yes the applets are useless, but im using it for launchers... well for now ill just use keyboard or desklets... thanks anyway :)
[01:10] <Jophish> and setting it using keyboard, in preferences does nothing
[01:10] <zsquareplusc> PeskyJ: keyboard mouse. type the keys again and hold KP 4
[01:10] <Azizco910> nvm
[01:11] <Yahovah> brut-: modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
[01:11] <ghang> Hi , my mplayer play with xn code , how can I set it to become x11 code?      my smplayer cannot play with my external soundcard , where to set the sound output ?
[01:11] <Azizco910> Tripitakit dell wireless 1370 wlan mini-pci card
[01:11] <PeskyJ> zsquareplusc: yeah, they move the mouse instead - another thing the kids must have accidentally switched on :/
[01:11] <GleepGlop> I guess I can blacklist the HFS module
[01:12] <codemaster|livec> hey guys, i'm trying to resize a partition on my RAID array and im getting this error when i try to mount a partition - "mount: unknown filesystem type 'nvidia_raid_member'"
[01:12] <brut-> Yahovah, I'll give that a try..., I assume I can dump that into something in /etc/modules.d so it'll use those settings on boot?
[01:12] <phantomcircuit_> The software that comes with my hp scanner can scan printed text and run OCR on it and get a reasonably accurate transcript, is there an equivolent program for ubuntu?
[01:12] <tripitakit> Azizco910, pls hang on a minute
[01:12] <zsquareplusc> PeskyJ: make them a separate account so you can delete .gnome each time to get defaults again ;-)
[01:12] <Azizco910> ok
[01:12] <Dr_willis_> !ocr
[01:12] <JiMiGj_Uk\Busy> hi i am looking for typesizes.h on ubuntu
[01:12] <PeskyJ> phantomcircuit_: xsane which comes installed
[01:12] <linux_> jose
[01:13] <Dr_willis_> !find typesizes.h
[01:13] <cutterjohn> oh, and a n00b from notebook point oof view, I didn't see it run fsck or the ext3 check on reboot would that be normal recovery from powerloss even for a notebook?
[01:13] <MacOS> hi to all
[01:13] <phantomcircuit_> PeskyJ, all i got was jibberish :|
[01:13] <Yahovah> brut-: Yeah, I just put modprobe -r forcedeth;modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix in /etc/init.d/networking.
[01:13] <codemaster|livec> JiMiGj_Uk\Busy: /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h
[01:13] <JiMiGj_Uk\Busy> let me try
[01:13] <JiMiGj_Uk\Busy> thanks
[01:13] <MacOS> Anyone can tell when xVM VirtualBox will support SMP?
[01:14] <cutterjohn> er nm, according to syslog it did run silently...
[01:14] <brut-> Yahovah, ah, good idea. I'll have to put it at the top of that as I've got some vbox tunneling interfaces that get fired up on boot as well, but I'll try it that way. Thanks mate.
[01:14] <weasel__> dfgbd
[01:14] <weasel__> !list
[01:14] <rww> MacOS: ask in #vbox
[01:14] <MacOS> rww: i already did that
[01:14] <mrwes> Yahovah, Ok..I found it on the router..under device list and I just clicked assign static iP...pretty easy
[01:16] <MacOS> well...thanks to ubuntu team....ADSL pen works great
[01:16] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[01:16] <v4vijayakumar> hi, something is really wrong with transmission client. It should have downloaded 650 MB in 7 hours (256 kbps) connection, but even after 10 hours of download I have got only one third (270 MB) of it. do I have any other option other than transmission..?
[01:17] <rww> v4vijayakumar: try deluge-torrent. I had similar problems with transmission and use that instead.
[01:17] <rww> !torrent | v4vijayakumar: full list of torrent clients
[01:17] <cylux> Hey guys. I'm having trouble playing back HD from my SATA drive but it plays perfectly if I run it from my local IDE. Any ideas?
[01:18] <v4vijayakumar> thanks rww, :)
[01:18] <rww> Anyone happen to know where the configuration files for GNOME's menu are? I know I can right-click > Edit Menus, but am wondering where the configuration is stored...
[01:18] <tripitakit> Azizco910, sorry got to go, hope u'll find help, try read here for the moment:http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/dell-wireless-1370-wlan-minipci-card-with-ubuntu-551427/
[01:19] <asclepius> so anyone familiar with autoreconnect for mouse and keyboard?
[01:19] <asclepius> bluetooth
[01:19] <ellipsis_> *sigh*
[01:20] <brut-> Testing forcedeth fix
[01:21] <rww> nvm, found it. Stuff I needed was in ~/.local/share/applications, in case anyone else cares :)
[01:22] <asclepius> anyone know how to get bluetooth to autoconnect?
[01:23] <cutterjohn> now back to those pesky LCD panels on a notebook, X.org is only reporting max pixel clock (333.0 MHz) and no synch/refresh values... Is there anywhere else to find those?  Do LCD panels generally use the same ranges for those values?  Are they really even needed?
[01:23] <rww> cutterjohn: to answer the last question, I've never needed them
[01:23] <NET||abuse> man, really annoying issues with intrepid, 2 machines, possibly both nvidia related, random freezes for a few seconds, 10-20 seconds,
[01:23] <cutterjohn> rww: but what do you do for the modeline entry? leave off the horizsync and vertrefresh part?
[01:23] <tonibuntu> can anybody tell me if this process described here will work on a hardy machine? :  http://pastebin.com/m29144318
[01:24] <cbryeaw> I'm having a real hard time getting Suspend to work with ubuntu, the hibernate command works, but hibernate-ram and suspend via gnome-power-manager I can't get to work for the life of me, the computer doesn't want to come back up after the suspend. Anyone have any ideas for me?
[01:24] <shade34321> what does this error mean......Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed. and how do i fix it?
[01:24] <cutterjohn> rww: I need to override EDID apparently because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194760)
[01:24] <NET||abuse> whatever i am doing continues, keyboard continues to work without any video update, playing a video and the video audio is still on, and the video picks up where it left off.
[01:24] <rww> cutterjohn: Hmm. Only time I've ever used that part was installing Arch Linux. It recommended 30.0 - 130.0 for Horiz and 50.0 - 100.0 for Vert.
[01:24] <codemaster|livec> jesus christ, this is difficult to simply resize a NTFS RAID 5 array partition
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> I finally got the array recognized via dmraid -ay
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> and after modprobing dm-raid4-5
[01:25] <cutterjohn> rww: ok, I'll give it a shot, because this is driving me nuts...
[01:25] <rww> cutterjohn: and said "safe for most LCDs". Was fine for mine, your mileage may vary i guess
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> and now im trying to mount it, but it seems i have to assemble it using mdadm (ie - mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd), but that gives me an error dealing with "no superblock in /dev/sdb"
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> any ideas?
[01:26] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[01:26] <cutterjohn> rww:  I hope that EDID parsing gets updated soonish...
[01:27] <lyosha> anybody know why jack might be giving me "shimmering" or metal-springy-robot-voice kind of sounds? I can't seem to configure it to give me the same sound as just turning up the mic in alsamixer
[01:27] <tonibuntu> gotta be one expert in the channel that could answer this please , will the process described at  http://pastebin.com/m29144318   work on a hardy system?
[01:28] <Crewsr3_> I have ibex installed with nvidia 7300 gt with the propertery drivers.  I went into the xserver that nvidia provides and I want to select the twinview option, but it is greyed out...any thoughts as to why it is greyed out?  The video hard has a s-video output
[01:29] <PeskyJ> my wife has some old captured video files on her laptop (windows) and I want to copy them to this ubuntu machine - some are >2GiB so will I have to figure out how to split the files in wondows to send across or can I run some kind of file server on my ubuntu machine and copy them straight across?
[01:29] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  the linux  filesystem can handle large files
[01:30] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: yeah, but I don't think samba does...
[01:30] <rww> PeskyJ: you could set up filezilla server on her computer and copy them over FTP. It's what I usually do in that situation.
[01:30] <codemaster|livec> PeskyJ: if the ubuntu machine is on EXT3, the 2 GB limit won't be an issue, right?
[01:30] <codemaster|livec> i would recommend [S]FTP, as well
[01:30] <goat|lappy> PeskyJ: mount with the lfs option
[01:30] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  i move dvd image files to/from samba servers all the time.. no issues
[01:30] <mikeblack_> http://deine-nackte-weihnachtsfrau.net/?id=2667561
[01:31] <v4vijayakumar> PeskyJ: use usb drive
[01:31] <codemaster|livec> anyone have any idea with my dmraid and mdadm issue?
[01:31] <AdamD2> What's the command to install mysql?
[01:31] <cretzul> cineva on
[01:31] <Ashex> What's the default media player installed in ubuntu?
[01:31] <Jophish> AdamD2: use synaptics
[01:32] <PeskyJ> some good suggestions there, ta guys... I will try SCP I think - hope it supports >2GiB
[01:32] <Jophish> and search for mysql
[01:32] <v4vijayakumar> !p2p
[01:32] <goat|lappy> PeskyJ: it may be slower, just fyi
[01:32] <Ashex> er, I meant Music player
[01:32] <Ashex> I can't remember what it's called
[01:32] <AdamD2> I did, I dunno what package.
[01:32] <v4vijayakumar> !mysql
[01:32] <Jophish> ythmbox
[01:32] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  i cant recall ever having a > 2gb file issue with any linux machines copying stuff with ssh/samva/other ways.. :)
[01:32] <_nmap> !ltsp
[01:32] <Jophish> rhythmbox* ashex
[01:33] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: oh.. I thought the SMB protocol had a 2GB limit
[01:33] <_nmap> !edubuntuhandbook
[01:33] <cretzul> i reinstall the ubuntu and i lost the home folder
[01:33] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: if not then I'll just share a directory on this ubuntu machine
[01:33] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  ive never hit that issue..    and i reguallary copy 4gb iso files back/forth to the samba servers
[01:33] <cretzul> can recover ?
[01:34] <rww> !recover | cretzul: probably not
[01:34] <pasteeater> how do i find what package provides a particular file?
[01:34] <gnutron> PeskyJ: get a copy of pscp on the windows box and pscp the files  to ubuntu just like scp
[01:35] <Ashex> Jophish, ah, thanks
[01:35] <dcina> hello
[01:35] <Jophish> Ashex: my pleasure
[01:35] <rww> pasteeater: you could ask ubottu: !find filename, or use the second search box on http://packages.ubuntu.com/, or i think there's a command you can use but I forgot it :/
[01:35] <Cavisty^gerber> Which small distro would you guys recommend that can boot off a usb stick?
[01:35] <pasteeater> rww: thanks
[01:36] <mrwes> re
[01:36] <rww> pasteeater: that command appears to be dpkg-query -S FILE
[01:36] <Dr_willis_> Cavisty^gerber  ubuntu can, puppy linux, dsl, depeneds on your exact needs..
[01:36] <rmitchell> cavisty^gerber: damnsmalllinux.org   about 50 MB
[01:36] <n8tuser> Caveman__-> dsl
[01:36] <mrwes> How do I set the default folder in ssh ?
[01:36] <cutterjohn> I abhor editing xorg.conf... sigh...
[01:37] <pasteeater> rww: just saw that too, but "dpkg -S foo" seems to work.
[01:37] <gnutron> pasteeater: you  might try apt-cache search filename
[01:37] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  default folder in ssh? clarify to the channel what you are wanting in more detail.
[01:37] <mrwes> Dr_willis_, yes....when I login via ssh, I want the default folder to be /home/bill
[01:37] <Cavisty^gerber> n8tuser, would i have to do anything special to get it to boot off usb? or what
[01:38] <pasteeater> gnutron: tried that, but wasn't specific enough.  didn't increase the verbosity much though
[01:38] <cutterjohn> off to test
[01:38] <gnutron> pasteeater: ah, i guessed as much, sorry.
[01:38] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  hmm.. My users Home directroy is the default when I ssh to a remote machine
[01:38] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)  - I have tested using "Map Network Drive" in a Windows Virtual Machine and it works fine there.
[01:38] <pasteeater> gnutron: thanks for the suggestion though.  it still might work, but I just looked at the man page very quickly
[01:38] <mrwes> Dr_willis_, lemme check
[01:39] <mrwes> Dr_willis_, duh...mine too
[01:39] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  ssh logins in same as you sould from a terminal, or console.. so id be suprised if it was different
[01:39] <gnutron> pasteeater: google the filename may give you clues.
[01:39] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  :)
[01:39] <mrwes> ssh roxs!
[01:39] <J172> hmm
[01:40] <J172> does anyone know if you can automatically log conversations in XChat-Gnome?
[01:40] <rww> mrwes: indeed it does :) ssh + screen + irssi = i can stay connected to IRC when I leave for work, and pick up where I was when I get there :D
[01:40] <pasteeater> gnutron: already did.  what makes this hard is that I'm troubleshooting for someone else
[01:40] <forcumang> where are doc's located by default?
[01:40] <mrwes> rww: I remember using screen when I was running slackware
[01:41] <gnutron> J172: avoid xchat-gnome and use xchat, i'll think you'll prefer the latter.
[01:41] <J172> gnutron: Thanks, I love Xchat, but Xchat-Gnome seems wierd.
[01:41] <J172> *goes to apt-get*
[01:41] <mrwes> rww, I remember getting lost on which screen I was actually on..heh
[01:41] <forcumang> where are doc's located by default?
[01:41] <Dr_willis_> J172  xchat-gnome is weird
[01:41] <n8tuser> Cavisty^gerber-> i dont have the intimate details of installing damn small linux, you may have to google for the instructions
[01:42] <forcumang> i hate xchat
[01:42]  * J172 is listening to Celtic Women
[01:42] <hololight> netbook remix.... min requirements.... intel atom proc.... so it will not run at all on i386?
[01:42] <J172> (that doesn't sound right)
[01:42] <rww> forcumang: in which program? Probably one of ~/Desktop/, ~/Documents/, or ~/
[01:42] <forcumang> rww: it's sudo apt-get install package-doc
[01:42] <forcumang> specifically: sudo apt-get install gtkmm-2.4-doc
[01:43] <Jeffrey_> nick J172
[01:43] <J172> Much better
[01:43] <J172> <3 Ubuntu
[01:43] <rww> forcumang: oh! documentation! /usr/share/doc/
[01:43] <rww> forcumang: sorry, misunderstood you :)
[01:43] <forcumang> rww: thanks :)
[01:43] <J172> thanks gnutron
[01:44] <gnutron> J172: my pleasure.
[01:46] <rww> wow, I'm reading the package description for xchat-gnome... it's kinda ridiculous...
[01:46] <PeskyJ> how do you enable ssh in ubuntu?
[01:46] <rww> PeskyJ: ssh server? sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[01:47] <J172> rww: yeah xhcat-gnome isn't my thing
[01:47] <gnutron> PeskyJ: install openssh-server it'll inlude the client as well.
[01:47] <gnutron> J172: irssi is the  bomb if you like a xterm, expecially with 'screen'
[01:48] <PeskyJ> rww: gnutron: ahh, I see - I was looking for a check box in administration->services
[01:48] <l0gis1c> hello
[01:48] <J172> I've tried irssi, I love CLI, but its just wierd lol atleast for me.
[01:48] <rww> PeskyJ: I think that checkbox appears once you install that package
[01:48] <Geforce88> i'm trying to install 8.10, but everytime i get past the keyboard setup it claims it can't find my cdrom,. i've tried 4 cdroms, 2 dvdroms, one dvd burner, and even tried using the SAME drive i burned the image with. what gives ?
[01:48] <gnutron> J172: love takes time :)
[01:48] <wanlai> hello i have ubuntu installed on two different hdd's and so on the grub bootup menu theres 2 different ones in there id like to remove one of them... preferably the one that im not logged into right now how can i find out what one i should remove?
[01:48] <PeskyJ> rww: how come it's not listed in add/remove?
[01:49] <J172> gnutron: it took me two years to finally give windows the boot
[01:49] <rww> PeskyJ: dunno, I don't use Add/Remove much. Isn't there a "Show all packages" box somewhere?
[01:49] <J172> :P
[01:49] <tim1> hi any know how I can run to commands but have it wait a little before running the next ?
[01:49] <Flannel> PeskyJ: add/remove is a distilled version of what is available, only showing big-name apps that people would want, etc.
[01:49] <thiebaude> J172: it took me about 6 months
[01:49] <J172> I bought a Mac this summer, couldn't figure out how I've lived without NIX, then installed Ubuntu on my laptop 5 days ago
[01:49] <n8tuser> Geforce88-> you have an existing linux?
[01:49] <tim1> at the moment I'm just doing command && commends
[01:49] <Geforce88> with the suport i get in this channel, i'mready to give linux the boot
[01:49] <gnutron> J172: better late than naver stated some wise old sage.
[01:49] <PeskyJ> Flannel: ahh, I see
[01:49] <J172> gnutron: true
[01:50] <Flannel> tim1: sleep
[01:50] <tim1> ahh sleep 10 sec ?
[01:50] <gnutron> J172: i keep windows for games, approx 10 minutes avg per/year :)
[01:50] <Flannel> tim1: not quite, close though.  see the man page (man sleep)
[01:50] <rww> tim1: command && sleep 10 && command will sleep 10 seconds between commands
[01:50] <PeskyJ> clever, yeah, it's appeared in services now :)
[01:50] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions here (http://who.hasfiles.com/support/mapping/#ubuntu)  but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" - I have tested using "Map Network Drive" in a Windows Virtual Machine and it works fine there.
[01:51] <J172> Windows has its place no doubt, I might BootCamp it on my iMac. but... for everyday use... Linux or OS X no doubt
[01:51] <wanlai>  hmmm is this a help channel?
[01:51] <ravalox> Oy, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I have no sound!  I tried removing pulseaudio and I'm still getting no sound of any kind.
[01:51] <ravalox> Anyone have any suggestions?
[01:51] <rww> wanlai: theoretically, it's dedicated to Ubuntu Support. some of us just get offtopic sometimes :)
[01:51] <gnutron> wanlai: affirmative, yes it is.
[01:51] <rww> speaking of which
[01:51] <ravalox> I should say, I removed pulseaudio
[01:51] <herenbdy> say, in the System Monitor, what do the columns Virtual Memory, Resident Memory, Shared Memory, and Memory represent?
[01:51] <rww> !offtopic | J172
[01:51] <ravalox> And I still get no sound
[01:51] <herenbdy> rather, what are the distinctions
[01:51] <tim1> worked beautifully thank you all
[01:53] <rww> herenbdy: in System Monitor, Help > Contents > Preferences and scroll down for a description of each column
[01:54] <JmCourir> is there any animated wallpaper for ubuntu 8.10 ?
[01:54] <rww> JmCourir: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/
[01:55] <rww> JmCourir: or the "This other method" link to LifeHacker at the page I just linked
[01:55] <thugren> Hey there guys. I have to ask if anyone. know if there is a way to do a Firmware updates via linux?
[01:55] <JmCourir> rww: wow thanks
[01:55] <J172> thugren: of what?
[01:56] <thugren> As in DVD flash upgrades, Bios upgrades, and a flash tool for controler cards?
[01:56] <rww> thugren: for your motherboard? which model? some allow you to just put the .ROM file on a floppy/usb disk and run a utility from the BIOS menu
[01:56] <ravalox> Oy, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I have no sound!  I removed pulseaudio and I'm still getting no sound of any kind.
[01:56] <rww> thugren: my Asus P5K-E does, anyway
[01:56] <PeskyJ> aargh.. the display on ctrl+alt+f7 has disappeared - the login screen I can't open another session
[01:56] <thugren> rww Oh? how?
[01:57] <thugren> rww, Okay. But I need to do it for a DVD?
[01:57] <LF|Irssi> lol so many people having that same prob ravalox,, the answer for that should be in the topic or something hehe
[01:57] <ravalox> I tried
[01:57] <rww> thugren: DVDs have firmware upgrades o.O?
[01:57] <thugren> That doesn't have the firmware software?
[01:58] <ravalox> The new version gave all three of my computers massive sound issues
[01:58] <thugren> xp. but I am using Ubuntu..
[01:58] <ravalox> I just bought an external drive in case I have to evacuate to Fedora
[01:58] <thugren> And don't want to use xp..
[01:58] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> get into a console and modify /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom  and add another line on [servers] like 1=Standard1
[01:59] <AndyH303> fedora is the nuts
[01:59] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> then do a /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:59] <fari> is there a ready live bootable ubuntu usb(for usb) in iso or so just to put\extract\install
[01:59] <rww> AndyH303: is that a good or bad thing? I'm not good at slang :P
[01:59] <lilb1970> how come mt miro keepscrashing...........
[02:00] <n8tuser> lilb1970-> i have experienced those before, you can try to de-install and re-install
[02:00] <AndyH303> its good - i've been swapping since edgy / fc6 and i must say f10 is pretty good
[02:00] <losetheshizzle> anyone know why my workspace switcher icon is missing?
[02:00] <lilb1970> whan i run miro it loads... then when i press the play..........crash...its gone...? any help out there
[02:01] <ravalox> Yeah, all the reviews for Fedora 10 are rave
[02:01] <NineTeen67Comet> Hello all, I'm trying to enable my wifi card but it continues to stop the download at 75% (been trying for over a week). The card is a broadcom and the file is being downloaded from downloads.openwrt.org (wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o) .. any help on this one?
[02:01] <ravalox> I'd rave about 8.10 if there wasn't such an obvious oversight regarding the sound
[02:01] <rww> !offtopic
[02:01] <rmitchell> losetheshizzle: you can get it back by adding the "workspace switcher" applet
[02:02] <rmitchell> losetheshizzle: to your panel
[02:02] <LF|Irssi> its better to stick with 8.04 if you can.
[02:02] <lilb1970> can any one help me with MIRO
[02:02] <gnutron> lilb1970: compiz enabled? miro likes resources but not a real hog. compiz irks many things.
[02:02] <losetheshizzle> rmitchell how do you do that?
[02:02] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?

[02:02] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: weird - I just ran the system->administration->login window program and it came back
[02:02] <rww> losetheshizzle: Right click panel > Add to panel > Workspace Switcher
[02:03] <lilb1970> how do i acsess copmiz
[02:03] <losetheshizzle> rww.. excellent .. thanks!
[02:03] <n8tuser> lilb1970-> dont need compiz to run miro
[02:03] <gnutron> lilb1970: desktop effects, system preferences menu i believe.
[02:03] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> i dont know what happened there
[02:04] <gnutron> lilb1970: i meant to disable compiz not use it.
[02:04] <hp-geek> hi everyone
[02:04] <PeskyJ> lilb1970: if you go to system->preferences->main menu - in there there should be an option to display the compiz settings, check it, then it should appear in the system->preferences menu
[02:04] <rmitchell> nineteen67comet: does it download other files alright?
[02:04] <lilb1970> yup
[02:04] <bobbob1016> Anyone successfully install Asus' ExpressGate without Windows?
[02:05] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: yeah, all is well, except that one file .. I've googled for the file elsewhere, but it doesn't seem to exist (not to mention I wouldn't know where to put it after download) ..
[02:05] <SJrX> Anyone here have any luck purchasing notebooks from Dell? THere UBuntu versions are HOrrible and more expensive
[02:06] <wanatryu> what file system ubuntu uses?
[02:06] <NineTeen67Comet> SJrX: Unless you're set on a Dell; Lenovo notebooks have been awesome for me and my work (they are just ugly) ..
[02:06] <rww> wanatryu: by default, ext3
[02:06] <SJrX> Hmmmm
[02:06] <SJrX> NineTeen67Comet my friend wants to purchase a notebook but doesn't want to pay for Windows.
[02:06] <lilb1970> the itergration thing...to desktop?
[02:06] <wanatryu> can  show ntfs ? or run on it
[02:07] <SJrX> Dell officially supports Ubuntu, but on the M1330 to get the exact same system with Ubuntu as opposed to Windows, is impossible (but a cost estimate) is $500 extra.
[02:07] <rww> wanatryu: it can read and write ntfs, but can't run off it (probably, I haven't tried). If you want to install Ubuntu within a Windows partition, use Wubi.
[02:07] <rww> !wubi | wanatryu
[02:07] <rmitchell> NineTeen67Comet, what is the url of that file? what's the size?
[02:07] <wanatryu> thanks alot
[02:07] <dmulholland> hey, are there any programs for use at maintaining a simple code repo on a persons machine that makes it easy to pull copies out for working on? dont want anything as big as git or svn, just something simple?
[02:08] <NineTeen67Comet> Um, there's several companies out there that'll sell'em OS free, but I can't recall off the top of my head which ones they are .. http://www.emperorlinux.com/ .. they come with Linux though
[02:08] <lilb1970> i got to have miro
[02:08] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: lemme look .. it's a really small file ..
[02:08] <russell__> how can I install skype for ubuntu?
[02:08] <Dillizar> SJrX, be advice that his bios may be set for vista so you may do some miner settings
[02:08] <bobbob1016> russell__, Goto skype.com, they have an Ubuntu .dev iirc
[02:08] <Dillizar> russell__,
[02:08] <Frede> sudo apt-get install skype
[02:08] <ConstantineXVI_> russell__: go to skype.com, download it, double-click the package
[02:08] <Nashenas> russell__ you can get the .deb file from skype or installl the medibuntu repository
[02:08] <BoltClock> hi, by default after installing ubuntu when i installed windows first, where is grub installed?
[02:08] <Dillizar> russell__, i will help you wait 5 sec
[02:09] <Austin`> What is the suggested package for java? I was used sun-java and it wasn't working well for me
[02:09] <AndyH303> .deb fi;e
[02:09] <SJrX> Hmmmmm that's fine
[02:09] <Frede> skype has a lot of sound problems with linux!
[02:09] <bobbob1016> Frede, Not for me...
[02:09] <Nashenas> BoltClock: /boot/grub
[02:09] <ConstantineXVI_> russell__: pretty much the same way you'd do it in windows
[02:09] <BoltClock> Nashenas: that means its within my ubuntu partition?
[02:09] <rww> SJrX: some of the vendors on http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?category=Laptop will install os-free, I think
[02:09] <Dillizar> russell__, http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=skype+for+ubuntu
[02:09] <SJrX> Um, who the eff pays $4150 for a notebook today
[02:10] <rww> will sell **
[02:10] <Nashenas> Hey so I have emacs22-nox installed since I like the nox version better than the X one. How would I launch a gnome-terminal window and then launch emacs inside of that? any idea?
[02:10] <Nashenas> BoltClock: yes
[02:10] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: Looks like it worked on this box (doesn't need it) .. do you know where the driver needs to be deposited on the machine that needs it? doesn't say in the Details: here's the link:  http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o
[02:10] <Frede> bobbob1016, okay.. I just have a lot of problems.. Where are u from, NYC?
[02:10] <SJrX> thanks rww that helps
[02:11] <bobbob1016> Frede, No...  Well born there, moved soon after....  why?
[02:11] <russell__> Constantine: thx :)
[02:11] <BoltClock> Nashenas: ok. i wanna install vista for kicks just to see how my pc deals with windows aero, is aero possible just on a VM or do i have to install on my disk?
[02:12] <rww> BoltClock: VMs don't deal well with Aero, usually
[02:12] <Frede> bobbob1016, K.. Just saw your time was 09:10.. so it must be in the time zone..
[02:12] <ConstantineXVI_> BoltClock: if you want to see aero, you have to install native
[02:12] <EMPulse> hey guys
[02:12] <Nashenas> BoltClock: it depends on what kind of VM you're using. It would need to allow direct access to your hardware
[02:12] <EMPulse> what program do you sue in Ubuntu to open rars
[02:12] <BoltClock> alright thanks
[02:12] <Dillizar> EMPulse, you need wine and winrar
[02:12] <zsquareplusc> Dillizar: no  wine
[02:12] <Nashenas> BoltClock: also restoring grub isn't difficult if vista writes over the mbr, you need to have an ubuntu cd tho
[02:13] <EMPulse> Dillizar, gah, I hate wine, it lags
[02:13] <zsquareplusc> EMPulse: there is unrar installable from synaptic
[02:13] <Dillizar> EMPulse, use to wine to install winrar
[02:13] <ConstantineXVI_> EMPulse: pop open add/remove, search for RAR, install it, then just use archive manager like everything else
[02:13] <rww> !rar | EMPulse, Dillizar: no you don't
[02:13] <BoltClock> Nashenas: that i can fulfill
[02:13] <EMPulse> ConstantineXVI, zsquareplusc thanks
[02:13] <bobbob1016> Frede, Could be canadian, could be cuban too...  Offtopic though
[02:13] <BoltClock> i have xp as well, will vista interfere?
[02:13] <Dillizar> sowwy rww ^^
[02:13] <Frede> bobbob1016, true true... :)
[02:13] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: do you know where the .o file needs to be for aptitude (apt-get even) to see it's been downloaded? I've got the file handy now .
[02:14] <ConstantineXVI_> BoltClock: shouldn't as long as you dont tell it to upgrade it
[02:14] <Frede> BoltClock, Please dont say you are running Vista.. :)
[02:14] <BoltClock> Frede: of course im not, just wanted to see how my pc chugs on aero :P
[02:14] <Nashenas> Frede: once he tries it out, he'll go back to xp, lol
[02:14] <BoltClock> its bad enough im still running windows :P
[02:14] <rww> BoltClock: try asking in #windows. They probably know more about installing both XP and Vista on the same machine.
[02:14] <BoltClock> rww: k
[02:14] <Nashenas> BoltClock: how much ram do u have?
[02:14]  * NineTeen67Comet vista runs fine in VirtualBox .. right where I can X out of it just for a giggle ..
[02:15] <ConstantineXVI_> Frede: some people cant learn that the fire is hot till they stick their hand in :)
[02:15] <rww> sorry, ##windows. Dunno if the extra # matters :/
[02:15] <BoltClock> Nashenas: 4 gb. its my graphics card thats lacking
[02:15] <rmitchell> NineTeen67Comet, not sure. It sounds like you're going to have to compile it yourself, as its not a .deb package
[02:15] <ConstantineXVI_> rww: yes it does
[02:15] <Nashenas> BoltClock: what card?
[02:15] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: no prob .. thanks much for your time though ..
[02:15] <Frede> constantineXVI_ : :D
[02:15] <Codemaster|LiveC> ok, i've done a bit more of an attempt on reading my RAID array in ubuntu... still no dice.
[02:15] <BoltClock> Nashenas: nvidia gf7100, its onboard and has only 128 mb memory
[02:15] <Codemaster|LiveC> however, I have run dmraid -ay and I have a block device (nvidia_bbaijfba)
[02:15] <ConstantineXVI_> (no offense to those that enjoy sticking their hand in the fire knowing it's hot)
[02:15] <fbc> Hi guys!! quick question. Is there anyway that I can make nautilus open a folder by hover a dragged file over it?  like the macs do?
[02:16] <BoltClock> Nashenas: or is 128mb fine? lol
[02:16] <Codemaster|LiveC> I simply can't moun it, though
[02:16] <Nashenas> BoltClock: that should be enough, tho I can't remember too well. I just hated the fact that it took 2.5 GB when i had 4GB of ram O.o
[02:16] <Codemaster|LiveC> and if i attempt to mount one of its partitions (ie - /dev/sdb), I receive an error - "NTFS signature is missing."
[02:16] <Nashenas> and that was on a free vista disk, no added programs
[02:16] <Nashenas> just vista
[02:17] <BoltClock> lol
[02:17] <Nashenas> anyone have any experience running gnome-terminal and then an application inside of that terminal, from some kind of script?
[02:17] <Codemaster|LiveC> anyone have any idea about my mounting and dmraid issue?
[02:18] <fbc> Is there anyway that I can make nautilus open a folder by hovering a dragged file over it?  like the macs do?
[02:18] <PeskyJ> Nashenas: do you mean passing a command into gnome-terminal for it to run?
[02:18] <rww> Nashenas: gnome-terminal --command=/command/goes/here
[02:18] <Odd-rationale> fbc: i don't think so... but dolphin and konqueror on kde does that... (at least last time i tried in kde 3.5...)
[02:18] <rww> Nashenas: if I'm understanding you correctly
[02:19] <rustyrat> hello there
[02:19] <endoubt> ok, there we go
[02:19] <Nashenas> rww: wow I can't believe i didn't look at gnome-terminals man page, thanks
[02:19] <Scunizi> How do I get out of full screen after remote desktoping into my desktop with my laptop?
[02:19] <zsquareplusc> Scunizi: vnc? try F8
[02:20] <fbc> Odd-rationale, there has to be a way to make nautilus do that... I can't believe they would let kde get one up on them.
[02:20] <zsquareplusc> fbc: i think its doing in in the tree in the sidepanel
[02:20] <Scunizi> zsquareplusc: nope.. "remote desktop" the other option off Applications>Internet
[02:20] <rww> Scunizi: F11 maybe?
[02:20] <rww> Scunizi: that's how you get into fullscreen mode, anyway
[02:20] <zsquareplusc> Scunizi: lots of apps use f11 for fullscreen
[02:21] <rww> Scunizi: so I assume it's F11 to get back out again...
[02:21] <Scunizi> rww: thanks that was it!.. with the option at the top
[02:21] <fbc> zsquareplusc, not it doesn't work that way either.
[02:21] <Odd-rationale> fbc: yeah, it works if you do it on the tree side panel...
[02:22] <zsquareplusc> fbc: well, folders open up if i drag a file over them and wait. the the sidepanel when it is selected to display "tree"
[02:22] <Scunizi> rww: I had just used the "full screen" icon at the top of the window.  nice to know that it's f11. just another one to remember. ctrl+f for Vbox F11 for RD, Vmware is another.. etc.
[02:22] <adac> can please someone help me? My widow borders are totally gone....there is no more item to close or minimize the window :(
[02:22] <Codemaster|LiveC> ugh, no help.
[02:22] <Codemaster|LiveC> i mind as well try another distro or something
[02:22] <Odd-rationale> adac: are you trying to use compiz-fusion?
[02:22] <rww> Scunizi: yeah, there are way too many. If it helps, F11 is theoretically the standard for GNOME apps these days.
[02:23] <Dillizar> adac, did you installed compiz?
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> adac: try: alt+f2. and run: metacity --replace
[02:23] <adac> Odd-rationale, well  compiz is enabled yes
[02:23] <Dillizar> adac, open a compiz
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> adac: if you want to use compiz, then you should install emerald
[02:23] <fbc> zsquareplusc, yeah I got it to work that was, but i normally prefer to view places.
[02:24] <rmitchell> odd-rationale: isn't emerald beryl, not compiz?
[02:24] <Dillizar> adac, and the select window some thing its a icon that has a window with red border try that
[02:24] <adac> Odd-rationale, it is installed...emerald. metacity --replace had no effect
[02:24] <Odd-rationale> rmitchell: no, emerald is part of compiz-fusion as well...
[02:24] <Codemaster|LiveC> it seems it's looking for /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaifjba3 but it isn't finding it
[02:24] <Codemaster|LiveC> says it doesnt exist
[02:24] <rww> rmitchell: beryl merged with compiz to make compiz-fusion, which inherited emerald
[02:24] <Codemaster|LiveC> but /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaifjba does exist and contains 3 partitions
[02:24] <RB2> Would anyone have a moment to help me with a grub install issue? I've been going around in circles for hours. I re-installed Windows and afterwards, re-installed grub. I get an error 17 on the Ubuntu entry and a 13 on the Windows entry.  fstab/menu.lst entries: http://pastebin.ca/1270773
[02:24] <rmitchell> rww: didn't know they merged emerald with it, cool
[02:25] <andersbr> Is there a good upgrade path from Dapper to Ibex?  Or would it be best to just reinstall?
[02:25] <Nashenas> rww: hey now lets say I wanted to get the arguments passed to this script and pass them to emacs, what should I do?
[02:25] <Odd-rationale> adac: try opening the emerald theme manager and selecting a theme...
[02:25] <andersbr> Nashenas:  What's the script written in?
[02:25] <Nashenas> shell script
[02:25] <endoubt> RB2: have you tried reinstalling grub with the usual guide?
[02:25] <Nashenas> so bash?
[02:26] <zsquareplusc> Nashenas: use %1 %2 ..
[02:26] <rww> Nashenas: I think $@ ? so something like emacs<EMAIL_ADDRESS>not sure, though
[02:26] <Dillizar> adac, have you installed some new menus?
[02:26] <RB2> endoubt: yes, and at one point, ubuntu would load, but not Windows. Then, Windows would load, but not Ubuntu. I think I'm just going nuts. hehe
[02:26] <Nashenas> right now I have
[02:26] <Nashenas> #!/usr/bin/env bash
[02:26] <Nashenas> gnome-terminal --command=emacs
[02:26] <adac> Odd-rationale, I tried that before. No effect. borders are just gone. I really doN#t know what I have done wrong....I really didn't changed a thing
[02:27] <RB2> endoubt: now neither will load.
[02:27] <adac> Dillizar, nope...it just happened
[02:27] <rww> Nashenas: that's assuming you want all the arguments passed to emacs. if you just want a specific one, it's $1 $2 $3, etc. instead
[02:27] <Codemaster|LiveC> so no one has any idea?
[02:27] <endoubt> RB2: there is a boot disk called "Super Grub Boot Disk" which is quite silly but it helped me once
[02:27] <user01> everytime new kernel headers are installed, what is the easiest way to remove the old ones?
[02:27] <rww> Nashenas: gnome-terminal --command="emacs $1" would past the first argument to the script to emacs
[02:27] <adac> Dillizar, as far as I remember. But I'm poretty sure I changed nothing
[02:27] <adac> *pretty
[02:27] <Pib> Hey quick question, how do I change my hostname?
[02:28] <Flannel> !hostname | Pib
[02:28] <Codemaster|LiveC> so why would parted be looking for a /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaijfba3 when it doesn't exist? All I have is a /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaijfba - no 1/2/3
[02:28] <Pib> Thanks Flannel
[02:28] <endoubt> RB2: I've had that 13 and 17 error before and I'm trying to remember how I fixed it, or if I ever did
[02:28] <Nashenas> rww and zsquareplusc: thanks, and it was $1 not %1
[02:29] <Dillizar> adac, try to down load a new emerald theme
[02:29] <RB2> endoubt: At one point, I had to boot into the XP recovery mode and run fixmbr and fixboot because the whole drive was hosed.  I have a few themes that I can choose from emerald....but if I selesct one then nothing vchanges. still no borders :(
[02:31] <endoubt> RB2: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting is the grub troubleshoot guide and this thread has some useful info http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1669.html
[02:31] <Pib> Flannel, I broke everything
[02:32] <Flannel> Pib: Define everything.  And how'd you manage that?
[02:32] <Mal3ko> on system with 4gb ram, can ubuntu see 4gb?
[02:32] <Pib> Flannel, I edited the hostname file but now I can't open anything to change the hosts file
[02:32] <rww> Pib: did you not pay attention to the "WARNING!" notice in the factoid, perchance?
[02:32] <Mal3ko> ubuntu 32bit
[02:32] <Flannel> Pib: Right.  Why didn't you just use the GUI method?
[02:32] <zsquareplusc> Mal3ko: only about 3.5MB for  a32 bit system
[02:32] <Pib> rww, Indeed I did but I didn't expect it to stop me from running apps
[02:32] <Pib> Flannel, Because I do not have it, I changed WM
[02:32] <Flannel> Pib: Reboot, choose "recovery console" from the GRUB menu, that'll give you a root prompt, you can edit the files, and when you're done, 'init 2' will finish booting to a normal system.
[02:33] <Pib> Flannel, Thanks
[02:33] <WillyWonka389> hey-oh
[02:34] <Mal3ko> zsquareplusc: you sure? can you confirm this: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/how-to-use-4-gb-ram-on-a-32-bit-ubuntu/
[02:34] <losetheshizzle> i edited my shortcut to switch between workspace 1 (ctrl + left arrow) and workspace 2 (ctrl + right arrow).  is there any way to make it continue left or right using the same shortuct?  like a right arrow ++ ?
[02:34] <rww> Flannel: maybe we should change "WARNING!" to "SUPER-WARNING-YOU-SHOULD-ACTUALLY-READ!"
[02:35] <WillyWonka389> Anyone in here have knowledge about internal microphones?
[02:35] <WillyWonka389> mine doesnt work
[02:35] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: have you already dug through the sound menus?
[02:35] <zsquareplusc> Mal3ko: its what several people here told. you can use all your ram with the 64 bit version
[02:36] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:yeah i recompiled alsa and have been screwing around in preferences forever
[02:36] <comradekingu> Change to: Dont read now, regret afterwards.
[02:36] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: any options in the bios for the microphone?
[02:36] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:i trie a couple walkthroughs in the forums but no help
[02:36] <ghang> excuse me , linux sound card driver is under which folder?
[02:36] <WillyWonka389> no tried that too
[02:37] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: what model is the laptop?
[02:37] <qwerty> yes
[02:37] <rww> zsquareplusc, Mal3ko: the -server kernel has PAE enabled, which allows you to see all 4GB of RAM. Personally, I just did 64-bit =/
[02:37] <Guest54542> is the best
[02:37] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: Acer aspire 5100, running hardy 64-bit
[02:38] <zsquareplusc> rww: but some memory will still be unavailable as the graphics cars shadows some and other reserved spaces
[02:38] <zsquareplusc> s/cars/card
[02:38] <RB2> endoubt: I'm going to reboot and try SuperGrubDisk. Thanks for your help.
[02:38] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: i noticed after i did a clean install with 64-bit, but i am not confident it was working when i had 32-bit
[02:39] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: what does lspci tell you about the device?
[02:40] <budz0r> hey there,  anyone know if there are drivers for the geforce 8800GT? i will be upgrading from a ati card.
[02:40] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[02:40] <WillyWonka389> sorry i dont know how to use pastebin
[02:41] <rww> !pastebin | WillyWonka389
[02:41] <endoubt> budz0r: nvidia support is much better than ati in linux
[02:41] <lbs> hi
[02:41] <lbs> everybody
[02:41] <lbs> I'd like to know how to install soft under ltsp-thin-client
[02:41] <budz0r> endoubt, thats what i heard. will i be able to point and click my way to the correct drivers?
[02:42] <endoubt> budz0r: after I did compiz with nvidia I'll never go back to ati
[02:42] <endoubt> budz0r: they make it much easier
[02:42] <rmitchell> budzor: that card works well, i have the same one. just involves enabling the driver in Hardware Drivers
[02:42] <adac> Dillizar, I restartet the x server...borders are there now!!!
[02:42] <adac> :)
[02:42] <adac> thx DUD
[02:42] <adac> E
[02:42] <lbs> who is familiar with with lstsp
[02:42] <FloodBot1> adac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:42] <lbs> who is familiar with with ltsp?
[02:42] <budz0r> endoubt, rmitchell, thanks. i wanted to make sure i was making a linux friendly purchase
[02:42] <Dillizar> have fub adac
[02:42] <Dillizar> :D
[02:42] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: either copy just the one line from lspci or use pastebin.ca for the full output
[02:42] <rmitchell> budz0r: i've used two or three nividia cards with no problems at all
[02:43] <budz0r> rmitchell, all i've used is this radeon x800 and i hate it
[02:43] <budz0r> i can't get anything to work right with it
[02:43] <adac> Dillizar, I think the deactivation of that oone compiz thing "decoration" did that thing!!! :)
[02:43] <dr_willis> 3 differerent nvidia cards here.. all worked.
[02:43] <endoubt> budz0r: yes, I went through hell with an x1300 too
[02:43] <WillyWonka389> http://paste.ubuntu.com/78200/  endoubt:
[02:43] <adac> well deactivation and activation
[02:43] <budz0r> great, thanks so much for answering guys. later.
[02:43] <rmitchell> never used ati myself, but my friend tried getting a laptop ati card working... terrible
[02:43] <mesh1> I want to make a copy of all of my . directories, so that I can wipe out the current ones and start fresh (except for a couple), how do I do that? If I do cp .* it copies all files (. being the current directory).
[02:44] <ohletmeinnowgodd> hi guys
[02:44] <Codemaster> okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas?
[02:44] <budz0r> oh! one more thing. i'm going to upgrade to a new computer. can i put this hard drive in the new machine and boot linux? i know windows screws up when you pull that kind of stuff. they are both x86 arch.
[02:44] <zsquareplusc> mesh1 use cp -r to copy folders recursively if you want to have the permissions too, cp -ax is useful
[02:44] <ohletmeinnowgodd> can someone explain the difference(s) between the multiverse and medibuntu repository, conceptually?
[02:45] <rww> mesh1: maybe cp .??* DESTINATION
[02:45] <dr_willis> !medibuntu
[02:45] <rww> mesh1: that'll copy all dotfiles with 2 or more characters after the dot... so not ..
[02:45] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  mediubuntu has  packages with 'legal'  issues :)
[02:45] <rmitchell> budz0r, i think you'll be fine
[02:45] <ohletmeinnowgodd> ubottu: and multiverse is legal soft?
[02:46] <rww> ohletmeinnowgodd: depends on your location
[02:46] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  the use of the term 'legal' means 'licening limitations' in this case.. not 'warez'
[02:46] <IdeAlEss> I have a new install of xubuntu and can't figure out which program runs the network application in the system tray.  Sometimes it runs and shows me avaliable wifi networks, but most of the time it does not.  How do I run this or connect to a wifi network without it?
[02:46] <Codemaster> okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas?
[02:46] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: Its legal yes, just not Free
[02:46] <budz0r> rmitchell, yeah. i may just do a clean install of 8.10 anyway. the one i'm on is an upgrade
[02:46] <losetheshizzle> kinnagohomnah?
[02:47] <budz0r> is there a command to get a list of non-stock installed app's so i can easily replace them after a format?
[02:47] <zutme> I am using Intrepid and I live in the United States. All my spelling suggestions are for British English rather than American English. (e.g. colour instead of color) in firefox. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:47] <ohletmeinnowgodd> flannel: im sorry what is legal and not free?
[02:47] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: the stuff in multiverse.
[02:47] <ohletmeinnowgodd> ok
[02:48] <Dillizar> budz0r, you want to see all the applications that you have installed
[02:48] <ohletmeinnowgodd> and medibuntu is illegal and not free?
[02:48] <budz0r> ohletmeinnowgodd, a 'non free' program is a program that the dev's cannot freely manipulate. thus do not have control over.
[02:48] <budz0r> Dillizar, yes
[02:48] <ohletmeinnowgodd> like reverse engineered drivers?
[02:48] <budz0r> Dillizar, but not the 4000 that come stock with the OS :)
[02:48] <Dillizar> well budz0r you can open add/remove and select installed app
[02:48] <Dillizar> :P
[02:49] <Dillizar> and you will see
[02:49] <Dillizar> :D
[02:49] <budz0r> ohletmeinnowgodd, so they are still very 'legal' but are not truly 'free' get it?
[02:49] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  they are njormally legal.. but licensed in non-gpl ways.. or for other reasonjs
[02:49] <Codemaster> okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas?
[02:49] <mrwes> re
[02:49] <rww> ohletmeinnowgodd: kinda, except drivers go in restricted. but apart from that, yes
[02:49] <jared> hey everyone
[02:49] <jared> so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means?
[02:49] <budz0r> Dillizar, thanks! but i was looking for a way to compile a quick list i could just save to a text file. :)
[02:49] <budz0r> at least i can see which ones i have this way
[02:49] <Dillizar> :D
[02:50] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: try B) at http://geekybits.blogspot.com/2007/06/microphones-skype-on-ubuntu.html
[02:50] <rww> budz0r: there's a factoid for this. gimmie a sec to find it
[02:50] <rww> !cloning | budz0r
[02:50] <endoubt> Codemaster: I've only ever experience linux raid with mdadm (software raid)
[02:50] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: thanks
[02:50] <Codemaster> endoubt: I'
[02:51] <Codemaster> er sorry
[02:51] <budz0r> ubottu, wow! thanks!
[02:51] <xDANIMALx> Is there a way I can sync my windows mobile phone in linux?
[02:51] <rww> budz0r: ubottu's just a bot. You're welcome :)
[02:51] <Codemaster> endoubt: I'm simply trying to resize a partition on that RAID Array, as all of the partitioning software I've found so far sucks and doesn't work on x86-64 vista ;)
[02:51] <jared> so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means in my mixer?
[02:51] <funchords> Universe is Free/OpenSource software that where open distribution rights are clear.  That helps understnad these -- Medibuntu contains Free/OpenSource software or software components where distribution may be restricted based on your local laws -- laws that restrict types of software (rather than who owns rights to distribute). Multiverse is software that is not free or open source and has restricted distribution.
[02:51] <sine> hi. ive created a mnt/windows in root but i cant access it with my normal user account in the gui directory viewer thingy
[02:52] <sine> how do i give the directory access flags so that all users can view/execute
[02:52] <endoubt> Codemaster: is the RAID software or hardware?
[02:52] <budz0r> ubottu, i got a 'aptitude: unrecognized option '--disable-columns'' know why that might happen?
[02:52] <dr_willis> !multiverse
[02:52] <budz0r> ubottu, i mean i know why it happened... but you know
[02:52] <Codemaster> endoubt: fakeRAID hardware (nforce 780i)
[02:52] <budz0r> ubottu, oh... :(
[02:52] <endoubt> Codemaster: and you're using mdadm for the true raid?
[02:53] <Codemaster> endoubt: no, the raid was made in windows so
[02:53] <mesh1> thanks rww, seems to work
[02:53] <jared> MEH
[02:53] <endoubt> Codemaster: oh, pastebin.ca and paste the output of fdisk -l
[02:53] <jared> er
[02:54] <mesh1> is it okay to delete everything in .local/share/Trash ?
[02:54] <rmitchell> mesh1, only if you never want to see it again
[02:54] <jared> its ok to delete everything in / too
[02:54] <jared> just kidding
[02:54] <endoubt> mesh1: yes
[02:54] <Flannel> jared: Please don't do that.
[02:54] <jared> sorry
[02:54] <jared> so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means in my mixer?
[02:54] <rww> mesh1: Assuming you don't want anything that's in your Trash, yes
[02:55] <mesh1> okay thanks
[02:55] <level15> hi. i have an encrypted USB hard drive. When pluged in, gnome pops up a window prompting me for the passwd to decrypt. when i enter it, it always says org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.SetupPasswordError  Error setting up /dev/sdg2 - bad password?  but I know the password is right because i can access the drive doing cryptsetup luksOpen  /dev/sdb2 sdb2crypt and entering it. any ideas?
[02:55] <dr_willis> !info vlc
[02:55] <jared> !info "pcm out path & mute"
[02:55] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  didntwork,  im trying to get the newest drivers
[02:56] <Estesark> Is it possible to enable desktop effects on a new ATI Radeon card without using the restricted driver?
[02:56] <budz0r> how well do 3d accel'ed apps work in vurtualized windows?
[02:56] <endoubt> budz0r: depends on your hardware
[02:56] <budz0r> Estesark, did you just buy that card?
[02:56] <rww> What's the GUI way to format a USB drive?
[02:56] <Estesark> It came with my laptop
[02:56] <endoubt> budz0r: I have a friend who claims that compiz works great in virtualbox
[02:56] <budz0r> Estesark, oh... was going to recommend returning it lol
[02:56] <budz0r> endoubt, wondering about games
[02:57] <rmitchell> rww: i think gparted can format it
[02:57] <budz0r> wanted to forgo windows completeley this go-round
[02:57] <tanker_> hello!
[02:57] <AltGrave> Hi
[02:57] <Steve__> I just installed latest updates, and now my ethernet connection stopped working :(    can anyone help me diagnose?
[02:57] <tanker_> Can anyone guide me in setting up the gpg key for Feisty?
[02:57] <zutme> I am using Intrepid and I live in the United States. All my spelling suggestions are for British English rather than American English. (e.g. colour instead of color) in firefox. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:58] <rww> zutme: isn't there a Languages... option on Firefox's right-click menu?
[02:58] <rww> zutme: when you're inside a textbox, at least
[02:58] <YaroMan86> Why does Raising Elephants not work in Intrepid?
[02:58] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: check Vultaire's post out on this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/realtek-alc883-record-sound-wont-work-597317/
[02:58] <budz0r> yeah is it just firefox zutme?
[02:58] <lbs> Who is familiar with ltsp?
[02:58] <Estesark> budz0r: Do you know if it is possible though? I can't find any articles on the web about enabling compiz with the open source ATI driver on 8.10.
[02:58] <mjec> Hi guys... did an (automated) upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and now get grub Error 15: File Not Found. It was an 8.04-alternate install with luks. It seems like I have lost vmlinuz. Any pointers?
[02:58] <Emphastala> it would be nice if these media players ran an md5 check on these files to check for duplicates.... i have a dozen copies of some of these tracks scattered all over the computer
[02:58] <Flannel> tanker_: Feisty isn't supported anymore, you should upgrade to Gutsy (and then to Hardy, gutsy will be EOL in a few months)
[02:58] <AltGrave> Flannel, vi is a nightmare, it took me forever to get everything done
[02:58] <budz0r> Estesark, is the problem that when you enable the non-free drivers it runs like crap?
[02:59] <endoubt> budz0r: you're just asking for trouble running games in virtualbox, find a brick wall instead
[02:59] <zutme> rww, yeah that did it. was on australian
[02:59] <tanker_> Flannel, okay - I guess that would be why I get the errors  Thanks!
[02:59] <Estesark> budz0r: The desktop effects are fine, but then video playback (and 3d games) is appalling.
[02:59] <Flannel> AltGrave: If you aren't familiar with vim, you should use nano instead.
[02:59] <budz0r> endoubt, yeah, lol
[02:59] <rww> zutme: yeah, that appears to be the default for some reason
[02:59] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  where did this go wrong?  http://pastebin.ca/1270797
[02:59] <Steve__> Downloaded latest updates for Intriped.. rebooted.. now Network Manager says it can't get a network address.  Any ideas?
[02:59] <YaroMan86> Why does Raising Elephants not work in Intrepid?
[03:00] <Flannel> AltGrave: or at least, you could.  Its more or less a "regular" text editor
[03:00] <tanker_> Steve, is this wifi or ethernet?
[03:00] <budz0r> Estesark, ah, well i haven't any experience with that. i was going to say what i did when i had problems was just deleted /etc/X11/xorg.cfg and rebooted and everything seemed to run fine. but that wont help your problem. they make games for linux? (joke)
[03:00] <budz0r> i just run my games in windows man
[03:00] <jared> hey i have an intel 915 video chipset and whenver i open my laptop lid, or bootup my screen glitches. whats up with that? and KDE its   a total glitch show.
[03:00] <level15> Steve__: what kind of network is it?
[03:00] <Estesark> budz0r: Lol, yeah, games like xmoto :P
[03:00] <budz0r> jared, define 'glitches'
[03:00] <AltGrave> Flannel, probably a good idea, I generally used gedit or mousepad with a WM running anyhow
[03:01] <mesh1> thanks all, I was able to move all files except for .dbus
[03:01] <qcjn> hi,
[03:01] <Steve__> it's regular ethernet.
[03:01] <Steve__> it was working just fine before latest updates
[03:01] <RaStar> -h
[03:01] <tanker_> Steve_, what do you get with iwlist scan?
[03:01] <Xcerca> how can i defrag/optimize my HDD ?
[03:01] <level15> Steve__ try it by hand. run the dhcp client on the cmd line and see what it says
[03:01] <budz0r> Estesark, the only game i ever tried was some sort of Worms clone... it won't even start up right lol. As for call of duty 5? i type 'reboot' and wait a few moments lol
[03:01] <sine> how do i set the permission for the syslink that is in mnt/windows that points to my windows partition that i created with root and cannot access with normal user
[03:01] <jared> budz0r,  well, flickers, screen kinda vibrates and just moves quickly tightly back and forth...  nothing crazy just weird
[03:01] <rww> mesh1: I don't think you need .dbus. dbus will make a new one if it needs one
[03:01] <Flannel> Xcerca: with ext3, you generally don't need to.
[03:01] <rww> !defrag | Xcerca
[03:01] <budz0r> jared, ah, mine does that. but it never really got to me.
[03:02] <rww> sine: symlinks don't have permissions. they inherit the permissions of the file they link to
[03:02] <rww> permissions of their own **
[03:02] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  that got a little too technical, what did they mean by running acer specific code?
[03:02] <jared> budzor ya KDE was stupid! but i liked gnome better so i stuck with gnome
[03:02] <budz0r> why do gentoo users make fun of me. do we really run 'baby linux'?
[03:02] <sine> how comes i cant access with root then
[03:02] <jared> kde was constant glitch
[03:02] <sine> i mean with my normal user account
[03:02] <Xcerca> cuz i just upgraded to 8.10 and now i hear the hdd all the time and it going pretty slow
[03:02] <Steve__> OK, ran dhclient from command line.. it shows the discovery messages.. but gives up after a while
[03:02] <binarymutant> budz0r, no such thing
[03:02] <rww> budz0r: because they're immature. call them "ricers"
[03:02] <archangelpetro> budz0r: gentoo sucks :D i wouldnt  worry, the're insecure
[03:03] <level15> Steve__: hm... ok, dumb question... are you sure all connections are ok?
[03:03] <budz0r> rww, ricers? lol like the honda kids?
[03:03] <Flannel> rww, budz0r, archangelpetro: just ignore them.
[03:03] <archangelpetro> hhehe
[03:03] <rww> budz0r: yes :D
[03:03] <Steve__> Yeah, checked all physical connections.  They're fine
[03:03] <budz0r> haha
[03:03] <heogen> THEME
[03:03] <jared> budz0r, i think its beneath us to work harder to use our computers than we need need to. if a program could do in a few click what 17 lines of code could, i'll take the program.
[03:03] <heogen> hi how can i install new theme
[03:03] <dr_willis> !changetheme
[03:03] <level15> Steve__: who is your dhcp server? a home router? your isp?
[03:03] <jared> they are suppsoed to be our conceniencde, not our time consumers
[03:03] <dr_willis> !themes
[03:04] <jared> err conveniance
[03:04] <jared> i cant type
[03:04] <jared> still
[03:04] <tanker_> Steve__, what's in /etc/X11/network interfaces?
[03:04] <Steve__> home router. should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:04] <Steve__> i'll check..
[03:04] <level15> tanker_: X11???
[03:04] <budz0r> will a program that advertises 'written for kde' work with gnome? what are the differences between the shells?
[03:04] <heogen> with extention png
[03:04] <Steve__> do you mean /etc/network/interfaces ?
[03:04] <tanker_> yes
[03:04] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: check out BHelts post on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-475013.html
[03:04] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: so.. from what i get, its an Acer specific bug
[03:04] <tanker_> sorry, working on two problems at once :)
[03:04] <level15> Steve__: set ip by hand and try to ping the router to make sure connections are fine
[03:04] <heogen> install new theme .png
[03:05] <jared> budzor, in essence, they are written for ubuntu, kde and gnome are just "desktops" should work from my experience, cant gurantee no problems tho
[03:05] <Flannel> budz0r: It will.  They use different toolkits to draw themselves.  It just means when you're using a KDE program inside of gnome, you also have the KDE libraries in memory
[03:05] <rmitchell> budz0r, what app? generally it doesn't matter, you can have kde libraries under gnome, i run amarok in gnome
[03:05] <heogen> how can i do that?
[03:05] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: modprobe will try to start the device, there is an acer specific flag
[03:05] <rww> To install KDE in Ubuntu, I can just do sudo aptitude install kde, right?
[03:05] <Flannel> rww: kubuntu-desktop
[03:05] <sine> rww: how can i access the mounted partitions with my normal user account that i create with root seeing as i cant create a mount in normal user mode
[03:05] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: there are lots of other acer users experiencing the same problem
[03:05] <jared> budzor, and to run kde programs and if you only have gnome desktop installed, you will need to install kde librarys, but this is usually automatic with installing programs
[03:05] <Steve__> tried that.  it says "destination host unreachable"
[03:05] <rww> Flannel: won't that install all the kubuntu branding too?
[03:05] <Flannel> rww: Yes
[03:05] <tanker_> anyone here using 8.04 on Dell Latitude C800?
[03:05] <budz0r> Flannel, rmitchell, no specific app. i just stayed away from the apps i wanted that said 'written for kde' or something like that... like 'mail program for KDE' etc
[03:06] <YaroMan86> Why does REISUB not work in Intrepid? Did Canonical compile the Linux kernel with the magic sysrq keys turned off or something?
[03:06] <level15> Steve__: that should not happen... that's a routing err msg, and in order to ping your router you should not have to route traffic
[03:06] <endoubt> tanker_: it's doubtful, we pride ourselves on diversity
[03:06] <budz0r> rww, don't forget about your GDM too. i think you'll have to make sure you run KDE on startup instead of gnome
[03:06] <usser> !reisub
[03:06] <usser> !sysrq
[03:07] <rmitchell> budz0r: they should run without a problem
[03:07] <YaroMan86> usser: I know what they are, I'm wondering why they don't work AT ALL in Intrepid?
[03:07] <usser> YaroMan86, should work
[03:07] <rww> YaroMan86: they do. for me, anyway
[03:07] <Steve__> level15: that's true.  any sugguestions?
[03:07] <usser> YaroMan86, if its in factoids, should work
[03:07] <YaroMan86> usser: Should != Does
[03:07] <Flannel> YaroMan86: its possible you're completely locked up.  Do capslock/numlock/scrolllock work?
[03:07] <level15> Steve__: would it be possible to test the network on windows or a linux  live cd?
[03:07] <YaroMan86> usser: It's been consistent ever since I intalled Intrepid. compiz crashed the system. not even REISUB works. Never did that in HArdy or older.
[03:08] <Nutt718> Hello all, does anyone know of a UBUNTU application that will accept Windows media 9 audio stream?
[03:08] <Steve__> yeah. i could give that a try..
[03:08] <AltGrave> Nutt718: Most should with the right codec
[03:08] <YaroMan86> Flannel: Ew. So some bug is causing compiz to lock up the whole system?
[03:08] <Flannel> YaroMan86: Try using REISUB sometime when your system isn't locked up.
[03:08] <level15> Steve__: yah... that's all i've got
[03:08] <endoubt> Nutt718: VLC might
[03:08]  * YaroMan86 will try it now.
[03:08] <Flannel> YaroMan86: that'll verify that it works (and isn't disabled, etc)
[03:08] <budz0r> Nutt718, i think VLC will play a text file if you tell it to. it usually plays anything
[03:08] <level15> Steve__: :-P
[03:08] <Steve__> level15: ok thanks.. at least that'll tell me where the problem is. :P
[03:09] <level15> Steve__: yup, just to make sure
[03:09] <AltGrave> Nutt718: Try opening it with Totem, it will give you an option to download the codec from the repository
[03:09] <Steve__> ok. wish me luck.  see ya
[03:09] <level15> cya
[03:09] <YaroMan86> Flannel: Nope. Just floods me with a TON of gnome-screenshot.
[03:09] <Codemaster> endoubt: yeah, fdisk detects all 4 partitions
[03:09] <Codemaster> and gparted even shows all 4
[03:09] <Codemaster> i just can't mount them :/
[03:09] <Nutt718> AltGrave, thanks, will try Totem. I could not find anywhere to edit VLC
[03:09] <endoubt> Codemaster: what type of partitions?
[03:10] <Flannel> YaroMan86: No idea.  I don't have Intrepid to try it out.  You could file a bug report (since that's certainly bugworthy)
[03:10] <Codemaster> ntfs
[03:10] <endoubt> Codemaster: if you pasted the pastebin link I missed it cause my pidgin sounds aren't working
[03:10] <level15> so... does anyone here use encrypted volumes?
[03:10] <Codemaster> nah i didnt lol sorry
[03:10] <Codemaster> i rebooted into windows, so :)
[03:10] <YaroMan86> Flannel: to Launchpad I go.
[03:10] <Codemaster> (and playing left 4 dead)
[03:10] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: seems like the alsa-lib alsa-utl file links are broken
[03:10] <budz0r> level15, i use trucrypt to manage my incrypted drives. have you tried it?
[03:10] <ohletmeinnowgodd> hi guys, how do i check the installed packages on my system? I have VLC installed but i cant find it anywhere in synaptic...i installed it manually via terminal...
[03:10] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:when i run i just get  bash: syntax error near unexpected token
[03:11] <level15> budz0r: no, i am using dm-crypt, but have some issues with it
[03:11] <inflex> can you cahnge the settings of the Ubuntu GNOME file-selector dialog so that it doesn't go ahead and try to determine the filetypes or get thumbnails of things etc allthe time?
[03:11] <inflex> because I've got several directories containing thousands of items and it just takes sooooooooooooo long.
[03:11] <budz0r> level15, google trucrypt - its free and i like it a lot :)
[03:11] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: If you installed it outside of package management (tar.gz, bin, etc) it won't ever be visibile in synaptic (or any other package manager)
[03:11] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: compiling is a tricky beast, it's a very satisfying experience when all the dependencies are met, but otherwise can be a real headache
[03:11] <budz0r> level15, warning: it MIGHT not be exaclty what you are looking for. read about it frist.
[03:12] <level15> budz0r: yeah, i've seen it, was planning to use it for my win partition
[03:12] <ohletmeinnowgodd> flannel, i "sudo apt-install"ed it
[03:12] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: I couldn't find any obvious missing dependencies in that code you pasted but I'm sure that's what the problem is
[03:12] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: then it should show up in synaptic, yes.
[03:12] <heogen> hi, anyone know how can to install theme with .png
[03:12] <ohletmeinnowgodd> flannel: maybe im not using the "search" field right?
[03:12] <ohletmeinnowgodd> :S
[03:13] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  hmm.. kinda over my head
[03:13] <heogen> how can to install theme?
[03:13] <roadfish> how do I play dpg video files in Ubuntu?
[03:13] <heogen> new theme
[03:13] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: could be.  Instead of searching try this, if you remember the package name, go to the list of all packages, click in the list, and then just start typing the name
[03:13] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: you may not have to update the alsa drivers, try finding some other software (other than Skype) to test the microphone, to make sure it's not just a skype issue
[03:13] <endoubt> roadfish: try VLC
[03:13] <budz0r> level15, well thats what i really like about it. it has windows and linux versions so they are very compatible. if anything you could just format that little sucker and use trucrypt this time to be sure you won't have any problems.
[03:13] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  no, soundrecorder donesnt work for it either
[03:14] <level15> budz0r: i was hoping it would not come to that, but maybe...
[03:14] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:how can i updat the drivers
[03:14] <budz0r> heogen, just go to preferences > appearence and drag the new theme zip file into the window
[03:14] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: in the forums there were some people who had success with the Live CD
[03:14] <sliverchair> how do I join a microsoft network?
[03:14] <budz0r> sliverchair, !samba
[03:14] <Flannel> sliverchair: Try ##windows, thanks
[03:14] <level15> sliverchair: use samba
[03:14] <rmitchell> !samba
[03:14] <WillyWonka389> endobut:  really?,
[03:14] <Flannel> sliverchair: Ah, samba.  Yes, try samba.
[03:14] <akahige2> took the plunge and upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and am having problems.... during boot up, progress hits a point where it just stalls for about 4 minutes, and then takes off. because it's buried behind a GUI, I can't tell what wall it's hitting... is there any way to diagnose this?
[03:15] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: which might indicate that the specific settings on the live cd are different from those on the install
[03:15] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: i guess i look for the files in there then huh?
 I do that
[03:15] <drog> akahige2, alt+f1?
[03:15] <budz0r> level15, can you get to that data in windows?
[03:15] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: the further away you get from a base install, the harder it is for people to help :-)
[03:15] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  this was ubuntuforums
[03:15] <budz0r> heogen, and it doesnt work?
[03:15] <level15> budz0r: no, i only use it under linux
[03:15] <akahige2> @drog: does that shell out of the GUI?
 no
[03:16] <budz0r> level15, then now'd you make it in the first place?
[03:16] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  yeah, i was wondering right now if its even worth it
[03:16] <level15> akahige2: pass kernel parameters to grub so that it does not use the boot splash and you can see what's going on
[03:16] <budz0r> heogen, ok, extract the files till they are just a folder on your desktop. try dragging that into the window.
[03:16] <endoubt> afk
[03:16] <roadfish> endoubt: thanks ... I was trying mplayer but it didn't work
[03:16] <budz0r> i had to do that once
[03:16] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: i think its just because its broken....
[03:16] <Codemaster> endoubt: so the entire issue is, basically, it's not showing different block devices under mapper for the partitions :|
[03:16] <tpw_rules> hey, im having a prob with an acer aspire one i just got
[03:17] <akahige2> @level15: what do I do with that info once I get it?
 ok
[03:17] <tpw_rules> i installed ubuntu, but it wont recognize the wireless module
[03:17] <heogen> hold on
[03:17] <level15> akahige2: hopefully there will be a msg saying what's wrong
[03:17] <budz0r> tpw_rules, what kind of wireless device is it?
[03:17] <tpw_rules> there is a restricted driver but it says its installed and enabled
[03:18] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: thanks for the help, man
[03:18] <budz0r> wow, i didn't realize i'd gained enough knowledge to actually help someone. its fulfilling lol
[03:18] <tpw_rules> budz0r: i believe its an atheros
[03:18] <endoubt> budz0r: I know what you mean
[03:18] <akahige2> level15: how do I tell grub to suppress the boot splash?
[03:18] <budz0r> tpw_rules, you may have to use ndiswrapper.
[03:18] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, run 'lspci' in a terminal and find the line about your wireless card
[03:18] <budz0r> !ndiswrapper
[03:18] <endoubt> tpw_rules: make sure it's turned on with the "Fn + (whatever)" key :-)
[03:18] <cbryeaw> has anyone tried to use tuxonice? I can't get suspend working on my asus mobo at all, would that be worth a shot to compile into the kernel?
[03:19] <budz0r> endoubt, heck yeah lol. start there.
[03:19] <level15> when grub menu shows up, you select linux entry, hit e (for edit), then delete the splash and quiet words, then enter, then b for boot
[03:19] <endoubt> tpw_rules: I've done that before, hours of screwing around to find out it was turned off
 thank you
[03:19] <level15> akahige2: ^^
[03:19] <budz0r> heogen, that work? :)
 yeah
[03:19] <tpw_rules> endoubt: the switch doesnt do anything
[03:19] <sliverchair> level15, budz0r, thanks, I got it to work by changing the workgroup
 that's right now
[03:19] <akahige2> level15: thanks!  I'll give that a shot
[03:19] <level15> akahige2: np
[03:19] <budz0r> heogen, that program is set up to read the tar.gz files etc, but sometimes you have to do what i told you to get it to work. something about it not being able to read the archive correctly.
[03:19] <snypzz> is there a gnutella for ubuntu
[03:20] <snypzz> that works
[03:20] <endoubt> tpw_rules: go to pastebin.ca and dump the output of lspci
[03:20] <budz0r> sliverchair, cool. also keep in mind that it takes samba a little while for the changes to take effect. i have no clue why.
[03:20] <dr_willis> !info gnutella
[03:20] <dr_willis> !p2p
[03:20] <tpw_rules> budz0r: ethernet controller: atheros comms. inc. AR242x 802.11abg wireless pci express adapter (rev 01)
 ok. thank you
[03:20] <endoubt> samba has personality
[03:20] <budz0r> hah, you could call it that
[03:20] <Codemaster> endoubt: any idea? lol
[03:20] <budz0r> its grumpy
 I appreciate your help
[03:21] <budz0r> heogen, yeah. you can really trick out your desktop. its fun.
 yeah is really fun
[03:22] <ubuntunoo> hi guys
[03:22] <endoubt> Codemaster: I wouldn't resize an ntfs from linux
[03:22] <ubuntunoo> is this the ubuntu support place?
[03:22] <budz0r> tpw_rules, i'm not sure about that one man. maybe one of these guys can help. the only card i ever tried was a netgear that i used ndiswrapper to configure. i got it to work but eventually just ran wires in my house.
[03:23] <endoubt> Codemaster: I've done it before with disastrous results
[03:23] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, yes
[03:23] <Codemaster> haha, yeah.
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> ok
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> good
[03:23] <izinucs> ubuntulog, yes.. just ask your question
[03:23] <endoubt> Codemaster: leave windows stuff to windows and linux stuff to linux
[03:23] <Codemaster> sigh, i'll have to look around for a 64-bit allowable vista partitioner ;)
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> well im a first timer
[03:23] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, http://blog.hyperandy.com/2008/11/01/atheros-ar242x-ubuntu-810-ibex/
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> i have xp
[03:23] <waan> Is it possible to have transparent windows in metacity?
[03:23] <poh> my laptop has sound when the lid is closed and no sound when the lid is open.  Something is backwards, but I don't know where to look.
[03:23] <poh> any ideas?
[03:23] <endoubt> Codemaster: your best bet would be getting a copy of partitionmagic
[03:24] <izinucs> poh, plug in an external monitor?
[03:24] <ubuntunoo> wanted to go to change to ubunto i installed ubunto by using wubi
[03:24] <endoubt> Codemaster: and even then I would back up data beforehand
[03:24] <ubuntunoo> i put in my pass/username
[03:24] <ubuntunoo> after that i come to a destop with nothing on it
[03:24] <izinucs> !wubi
[03:24] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, ask your question in one message. its hard to read over several. what do you mean by 'nothing'?
[03:25] <poh> izinucs wow, it has been like this for over a year and I never thought of pluging in a monitor
[03:25] <Codemaster> yeah, i don't think the newest version supports vista, funny enough
[03:25] <Codemaster> but i'll check :)
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> Well after i put in my username nas password i come to a destop with no icons withso over
[03:25] <endoubt> Codemaster: in my experience you have a 60% chance of successfully screwing with multiple partition sizes (with working OS's on each) and then to add the complexity of RAID5 to that equation
[03:25] <izinucs> poh, might also need an external keyboard and mouse .. :)
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> just a mouse
[03:25] <izinucs> poh, what version ubuntu are you on?
[03:25] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, no menus either?
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> nope nothing
[03:25] <ExecutiveOrder> can someone help me with a sound problem, every now and then my card just stops working and i have to restart my computer to get it working again
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> except at the username thier is a button claeed settings
[03:26] <poh> izinucs, Intrepid, but I installed at gutsy
[03:26] <izinucs> poh, so you did the upgrade path?
[03:26] <ubuntunoo> i tried using terminal and then a box came up at the destop they said to use commands and stuff
[03:26] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: you're x is messed up
[03:26] <Mike020> What would be a good iTunes equivalent for Ubuntu? I don't mind if iPod syncing doesn't work, I just want a music player that resembles iTunes.
[03:26] <ubuntunoo> what do u mean my x?
[03:27] <budz0r> endoubt, i wonder if deleting his xorg.conf would help. it could create a new working one.
[03:27] <LSD|Ninja> Mike020: rythmbox?
[03:27] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, hang on a sec
[03:27] <ubuntunoo> ok
[03:27] <poh> izinucs, no, I had a hybrid system that got all messed up when I tried to upgrade
[03:27] <poh> izinucs, and I had to fix in manually
[03:27] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, any progress?
[03:27] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: hit Ctrl + Alt + F5 to switch to terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F7 to get back to X) and then reconfigure x server
[03:27] <ohletmeinnowgodd> !clone
[03:28] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: hang on, I'll get the command
[03:28] <ExecutiveOrder> and i get this error when i try to restart mpd ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[03:28] <dr_willis> egads - that factoid is all curpted.. it seems....
[03:28] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: im doing it right now
[03:28] <ubuntunoo> o ok
[03:28] <izinucs> poh, if your /home partition is actually seperate from the rest you might consider reinstalling fresh and reusing /home.. that's what I ended up doing.
[03:28] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: the command is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:28] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, if you get stuck, i've compiled madwifi a few times, i might be able to help you out
[03:28] <ExecutiveOrder> but i dont  have anything open that would be using my sound card
[03:29] <izinucs> poh, that way your data will be intact.
[03:29] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: just run through all the options, the defaults should be fine
[03:29] <ubuntunoo> endoubt where shoud i put that?
[03:29] <ExecutiveOrder> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave : what do i do to fix this?
[03:29] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: in a terminal somewhere
[03:29] <poh> izinucs, home is separate, but that would still be a pain
[03:29] <ubuntunoo> ok
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> i tied using livecd but that doenst work
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> so ima re-install it using wubi since i just uninstalled it
[03:30] <izinucs> poh, I know it eliminated the adventure of trying to decypher the problem/issue but might just take less time to fix it that way.
[03:30] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: live cd won't give you a desktop either?
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> nope
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> i made the cd i mean but instead i just get a black screen
[03:31] <budz0r> he might have a bigger problem.
[03:31] <poh> izinucs, yeah, it probably would take less time.
[03:31] <ubuntunoo> i hear some music like the bongos
[03:31] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: in the very first menu of the live cd there are boot options
[03:31] <budz0r> lol
[03:31] <ubuntunoo> after that im done
[03:31] <ubuntunoo> ok with the live cd u mean the three options demo installition , installtion, and more about ubuntu
[03:31] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: there will be several for graphical options like -vga or something like that, try some until you get a desktop and then the one that works will tell you what the problem is
