[15:24] <jrib> Dam0: then you know the answer to your question.
[15:25] <Kaga> jim_p, i think so
[15:26] <Grab> omnydevi, i am installing all 3 packages. maybe they're all required :) i'll let you know mate.tnx
[15:26] <testuser> Does anyone know how to fix "Permission denied (publickey,password)" errors from SSH?
[15:26] <jrib> testuser: use the right key or enter the right password?
[15:26] <Lars> Is there any way besides nvidia-settings to run two screens with a nvidia graphics card?
[15:26] <neowangdue> hi
[15:27] <jrib> Lars: edit xorg.conf by hand
[15:27] <Lars> jrib, I need a little help with that?
[15:27] <Dam0> i installed network-manager0dev is this correct?
[15:27] <jrib> Lars: wiki.ubuntu.com/X
[15:27] <jrib> !dualhead | Lars
[15:27] <jrib> Dam0: why?
[15:28] <omnydevi> Grab - good to hear man :D
[15:28] <Dam0> ohh i found it
[15:28] <floatboat> does anyone know of a GUI for ctorrent?
[15:30] <omnydevi> floatboat - ever try deluge?
[15:30] <gizmo> why my xchat can see your nick list in here?>
[15:31] <joejc> anyone know a way to automatically send files in a folder to my website?
[15:32] <fosco_> gizmo: make sure it is xchat and not gnome-xchat, go to Help - About
[15:33] <IndyGunFreak> gizmo: if you know you're using xchat, click the view menu then check "User List".. otherwise on Xchat Gnome, its a button.
[15:34] <meho_> Hi yesturday i have updated to 7.10 of the ubuntu os now the problem was and is that i do not have sound on my com i would say its a driver problem but what do u guys think it is
[15:34] <IndyGunFreak> meho_: what sound device?
[15:34] <meho_> ReakTek
[15:35] <IndyGunFreak> meho_: how does lspci idenfiy your sound
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> meho_, YO probably dont remember if you recompiled alsa to get it going on 7/04 but if you did, then you would need to do it abain
[15:35] <Grab> omnydevi,  i was right: i had to install the 3 of them
[15:35] <Grab> im runnin envyng right now
[15:35] <yggwork> what comes after hardy ?
[15:35] <IndyGunFreak> yggwork: intrepid
[15:35] <joejc> anyone know a way to automatically send files in a folder to my website?
[15:35] <joejc> then jaunty
[15:35] <yggwork> is hardy pretty much current ?
[15:35] <meho_> btw i am a noob to ubuntu and linux in general
[15:35] <omnydevi> Grab - my bad man, i always used the website, just recently found out it was in the repo
[15:36] <Grab> np omnydevi
[15:36] <Grab> tnx
[15:36] <meho_> so this is straight off the cd no changes made from there other than update from 7.04 to 7.10
[15:36] <Grab> omnydevi,  how can i be sure that drivers are installed and that my video card is recognized ?
[15:37] <frostburn> joejc, using an scp script with cron would work
[15:37] <omnydevi> Grab - run the application and select the automatic one, automatically install driver
[15:37] <joejc> how do i do that?
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> meho_, if you type  /join #alsa  they can probably sort it quickly  .. they handle sound for that release
[15:38] <meho_> thank you very much
[15:38] <Temujin_> meho_: what kind of sound card do you have?
[15:39] <floatboat> omnydevi: i've never tried it
[15:40] <floatboat> can it minimize to tray?
[15:40] <daredevilthere> HEy a;;;
[15:42] <r|z0n> Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop running Ubuntu 8.10. For some reason, if I let my laptop sit for a while, it will go into Suspend mode, but when I move the mouse to go out of Suspend mode, my screen is either black or white. The hard drive light is blinking as if there were activity going on with my laptop, but it never returns from suspend mode. What do I need to check or change to resolve this issue? Thanks for the help!
[15:42] <floatboat> does anyone know of a panel such as fbpanel that has a network monitor macro ? (fbpanel only has CPU monitor) ?
[15:43] <IndyGunFreak> r|z0n: there's quite a few laptops that have suspend issues... mine do (Acers)
[15:44] <r|z0n> I don't think I had the issue with 8.04.1
[15:44] <IndyGunFreak> well, thats pretty much irrelevant since you're using 8.10
[15:44] <r|z0n> Yeah I know
[15:45] <r|z0n> It's a pain in the you know what, such a pain I've felt like going back to 8.04.1
[15:45] <IndyGunFreak> sometimes the grass isn't greener on the otherside
[15:45] <r|z0n> lol yeah i know
[15:45] <omnydevi> floatboat - i highly suggest it, its freaking awesome
[15:46] <DJones> r|z0n: I've got a Dell 8100 with 8.10, I don't have any problem like that, after an hour my screen saver kicks in, but a mouse click takes me back to the normal screen, I don't have suspend set up
[15:46] <r|z0n> I like 8.10, especially on this old laptop, it runs very well, in fact I've made it my primary OS on this laptop and hardly ever use XP unless I just absolutely have to.
[15:46] <floatboat> omnydevi: ok , deluge it is :)
[15:46] <Lareth> Hello I get the warning shown in http://pastebin.com/m120e5a45 in my error.log for apache2. I checked the folder mentioned and it contains files pdo.so and sqlite.so instead of the ones mentioned in the log. I installed apache and php through apt. I am using ubuntu server 8.04
[15:47] <r|z0n> DJones, thanks for the info. I wonder how I can disable the Suspend feature on this thing? I don't really need it considering that I don't have a working battery and its always plugged into the wall anyhow
[15:47] <piksi> r|z0n: linus torvalds has something highly related: http://torvalds-family.blogspot.com/2008/12/debugging-hell.html
[15:47] <DJones> r|z0n: I'm not sure about disabling, I've never set suspend up, so can't help there
[15:47] <SergGnom> по руски лепечим?
[15:48] <piksi> !ru
[15:48] <r|z0n> DJones, Just out of curiosity, does your 8100 have mouse issues? Sometimes I can sit this thing down and my mouse goes haywire, I think it has something to do with the mouse button between G and H keys.
[15:48] <omnydevi> floatboat - it has ip filters that block garbage ips and has data encryption that bypasses some isp p2p bandwidth throttlers. plus a few more nifty features
[15:48] <babo> my syslog doesn't contain any setting for apache ...
[15:48] <babo> is that strange ?
[15:48] <jim_p> is realtek 8100 supported by linux?
[15:49] <DJones> r|z0n: Nope, to be honest, I don't have any issues at all, sound, graphics, mouse, keyboard - all work fine, even desktop effects although they can be a bit slow
[15:51] <gizmo> anyone can help me how to decrease my disk usage in my terminal?
[15:52] <r|z0n> Everything works great on this one too.. Especially after I replaced the 256 MB ram with 512... I can't play DVD's from Linux though... really about the only issue... plus the mouse issue I mentioned earlier....
[15:52] <gst-kaps> is there a way to create a ext3 partition without formating ?
[15:52] <SlimeyPete> gizmo: use "df -h" to display disk usage, and "du -hs /path/to/directory" to show the size of a directory
[15:52] <r|z0n> DJones, has your 8100 suggested that you enable the restricted drivers for the video?
[15:53] <omnydevi> gst-kaps - whats fs is the partition now?
[15:53] <gosuser> oooh my god.,...its happen again
[15:53] <gosuser> my ubuntu suddenly logout
[15:53] <r|z0n> DJones, mine did, and I enabled them and this thing went downhill.. i dont think the restricted drivers (NVidia drivers) that ubuntu suggests work too well with this laptop.
[15:53] <gst-kaps>  omnydevi:gparted says its unallocated, but actually its a corrupted ext3 partition, where my ubuntu was installed
[15:54] <Temujin_> jim_p: what's a realtek 8100? LAN chip? Wireless?
[15:54] <DJones> r|z0n: Yes, I'm using the nvidia driver from the repo, that was a problem to start with because of the nvidia issues, but the fixes seem to have worked fine, I'm not sure which driver I'm using at the minute though (I'm in work, the laptop is at home)
[15:54] <omnydevi> gst-kaps, are you on the live cd right now then? and what tool says it is corrupted?
[15:54] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: well, then you're likely gonna have to format it.. usually unallocated, means nothing is there.. are you sure you didn't accidently delete that partition?
[15:55] <r|z0n> DJones, I need to get a battery for this laptop. I hardly use this laptop except when I'm on the go. It was given to me, had a bad hard drive in it. Replaced with a WD 60 GB. Except being heavy as an anchor, this thing is solid as a rock. Great machine for its age.
[15:55] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:yes on live cd , gparted says so, and fdisk doesnt show it up
[15:55] <msh1> hello
[15:55] <omnydevi> gst - yeah, Indy is right. Most likely you are going to have to reformat. Did you use guided or manual?
[15:55] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak:yeah I am sure i didnt deleted the partition
[15:55] <msh1> How do I add new/custom keyboard layout in Intrepid?
[15:55] <r|z0n> Do you know if you can put a battery in the place of the floppy drive and have 2 batteries running simultaneously on this thing?
[15:56] <Temujin_> jim_p: ah, it's another codename for r8139-compatible NIC's; yeah, linux supports  them
[15:56] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: then i would suspect some sort of hardware failure, is it setup w/ Ubuntu and XP?
[15:56] <IndyGunFreak> !keyboard | msh1
[15:56] <DJones> r|z0n: Same here, I replaced a hdd, but the rest of it is great, 8+ years old and can still beat some new laptops. Yes, you can have two batteries fitted, as you say, one in the floppy bay
[15:56] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak:yes, after i installed xp it screwed my ubuntu
[15:56] <omnydevi> gst ahhh yeah
[15:57] <daleharvey> following the trouble shooting steps to get rid of pulseaudio to get skype working
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: i'm just guessing, that XP tried to take that partition.
[15:57] <omnydevi> gst - windows broke it. windows bootloader is most likely to blame
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: cuz if it shows unallocated, that means there's no file system.
[15:57] <jim_p> Temujin_, i still dont know. i am waiting its owner to mail me his lspci!!!
[15:57] <daleharvey> and it tells me its going to get rid of Remove the following packages:
[15:57] <daleharvey> ubuntu-desktop
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> thus no OS
[15:57] <omnydevi> gst it will write on the first hdd and the first partition it sees period. there is no option to change it
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> daleharvey: its just a meta-package, no big deal
[15:57] <gst-kaps> omnydevi: but now whats the option to get it work ?
[15:57] <omnydevi> gst - reinstall ubuntu mate...sorry
[15:57] <msh1> Induy: I know this but this is not letting me add a new layout of my own. do you know something? i mean exact the directory where these layouts are?
[15:58] <r|z0n> DJones, thats pretty cool. i noticed the battery fit in the floppy bay, but didn't know if it would actually work,, This thing was built pretty tough. I'd say for a second owner that its in mint shape. But you can tell that the plastic that its made out of is a much higher quality than plastics the newer laptops are made out of.
[15:58] <IndyGunFreak> msh1: unfortunately i don't
[15:58] <daleharvey> ok, tentatively say Y
[15:58] <daleharvey> *says
[15:58] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak, omnydevi:: but then how can I recover data from there ?
[15:59] <omnydevi> gst - you could try to copy it to a usb, or use the linux rescuecd...that would be your best bet. no telling really what xp did though
[15:59] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: well, hopefully you backed up prior.. because if its unallocated, there's no file system, and it will be very difficult to get data off the partition.. most likely the data is gone
[15:59] <omnydevi> yeah, most likely winblows formatted the whole thing during install
[16:00] <daredevilthere> Hey i installed flashplugin-nonfree but still it is not working
[16:00] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: well, it probably didn't format it, because if it did, it would be NTFS, not unallocated
[16:00] <r|z0n> DJones, I have a toshiba laptop that my parents bought me about 5 years ago, its a nice machine, but its literally fallen apart. hinge busted on it and the outer plastic is scratched to death. For the money I thought it would have been a little more durable, like this Dell laptop.
[16:00] <omnydevi> Indy you are right. I think the best bet is from livecd to mount the partition and see if anything is on it.
[16:00] <r|z0n> I ended up having to hook an external keyboard/mouse and LCD to the Toshiba laptop and turn it into a desktop. Impossible to use it with an LCD that has a broken hinge.
[16:00] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:omnydevi: it didnt formatted the whole , as i saw the process closly, how can I recue data
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: yup..
[16:01] <DJones> r|z0n: I've had mine since new, it was top of the range when I got it.  Built to last :)
[16:01] <Unknownuser56> omnydevi,don't be ignorant,you can choose which partition to install Windows on,after install,the mbr is rewriten so you won't be able to boot ubuntu until you fix it
[16:01] <ASULutzy> Quick question, if I have a machine that has Windows Remote Desktop enabled, is it possible to mount a drive from there in a simple way? I know I could just RDP to the thing and restart it to Ubuntu and just use ssh, but looking for a solution that doesn't involve RDP'ing to the machine graphically
[16:01] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:i tried mounting
[16:01] <gst-kaps> its not getting mounted
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: waive your magic wand, and rescue the data, i'ev told you.. if there's no file system, its very unlikely, there's any data
[16:01] <r|z0n> DJones, thanks for the chat about this laptop. Hope I didn't aggravate you any.. its not every day you run into someone that has the same hardware as you and can give you experience about it.
[16:01] <gst-kaps> and I am unable to see any partition name
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> lol..
[16:02] <omnydevi> Unknown - thanks for the input. Since you seem to know more, why not try telling kaps what to do :p
[16:02] <IndyGunFreak> you don't have a partition, its unallocated space
[16:02] <DJones> r|z0n: No probs, hope you get the niggles sorted anyway
[16:02] <AdvoWork> anyone here know much about editing firefox (about:config) and printers? ie can a printer overwrite the settings as i keep changing them and they change back....
[16:02] <r|z0n> DJones, I am quite impressed with the "features" of this thing. It's not every day that you find a laptop that has serial port, floppy drive, and DVD rom in it.
[16:03] <Temujin_> i wish i had a job so i could buy a decent laptop with intel graphics
[16:03] <daredevilthere> hmm
[16:03] <ac3_0f_spad3s> what's the difference between binary and source?
[16:03] <r|z0n> I use the serial port a lot for working with things like managed switches and routers, and with the Toshiba laptop I got, I had to use a USB converter. So I'd say that even after I buy a NEW laptop (something that is vista capable) I'll still hold onto this one as long as it continues to work just because of the extra (older) features it offers.
[16:03] <omnydevi> my vote is, xp broke it, and reinstalling ubuntu is necessary. sounds like more than a mbr issue
[16:03] <kitche> ac3_0f_spad3s: source you compile to get the binary :)
[16:04] <daredevilthere> Hey guys how can i install the software from source on my ubuntu
[16:04] <daredevilthere> ?
[16:04] <sztomi> hi. I'm trying to establish an ssh connection between two ubuntu boxes. The problem is that whenever I set a static ip address on the server, it gets reset after a few seconds. I managed to connect once, but a few minutes later, the connection was frozen, and when I checked, the static IP was reset on the server. Can you help me?
[16:04] <gst-kaps> omnydevi: IndyGunFreak: ok, i though there maybe someone known to it, anyways also how can I recover data from a ddrecued image
[16:04] <ac3_0f_spad3s> k kitche thanks
[16:04] <captspify> binary are the executables and ready to go versions, source is the "if you want to see/edit the code" version
[16:04] <r|z0n> I wonder if they make 512 MB chips that will work in the 8100. I bet this thing would run like a champ if it had a gig of ram in it.
[16:04] <omnydevi> kaps - google rescuecd and download that.
[16:04] <Temujin_> daredevilthere: what software are you trying to install?
[16:04] <omnydevi> then burn the iso, i would apt-get install k3b as well
[16:04] <Jeruvy> daredevilthere: you need to setup your box for building, see build-essential, and possibly any other tools.
[16:04] <daredevilthere> any software
[16:05] <Unknownuser56> gst,reinstall grub ( can't see why XP would corrupt another installation unless ofcourse you chose to install on the same partition .. )
[16:05] <Unknownuser56> !grub
[16:05] <strangeseraph> hii
[16:05] <daredevilthere> so u mean i only need build essentials to intall the software from source
[16:05] <strangeseraph> :)
[16:05] <r|z0n> not to say that it doesn't run fine now with 512 MB (256x2) but sometimes I find this thing slowing down when I have several Mozilla windows open, a few terminal windows and a few Gedit windows (do PHP programming)
[16:05] <omnydevi> ubottu - ftw!
[16:05] <Jeruvy> daredevilthere: no, thats just the essentials.  The rest is dependant on how you build
[16:05] <strangeseraph> question: I want to burn Ubuntu 8.10 to discs, but I don't have any blank CDs and its too cold to go out to the store today. Can I use a blank DVD?
[16:05] <Temujin_> daredevilthere: it depends on what software you're installing
[16:06] <Unknownuser56> daredevilthere,yes that installs the compilers/headers so you can compile code
[16:06] <daredevilthere> ahan
[16:06] <daredevilthere> I c
[16:06] <sztomi> strangeseraph: yes, you can
[16:06] <strangeseraph> okay :)
[16:06] <strangeseraph> do I use the regular iso image or is there a DVD specific image to use?
[16:06] <daredevilthere> Are debs pakages are better to install or from source?
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> use debs, if possible
[16:07] <daredevilthere> then wht are debs pakages are they binary files?
[16:07] <Temujin_> Always .debs if possible
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> they're binary files, yes.
[16:07] <sztomi> strangeseraph: maybe some very old bioses or drives won't support it though, but I've never seen such case.
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> well, they're packages which include binaries amongst other things
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !ohmy > omnydevi
[16:07] <daredevilthere> Well anyone tell me wht is dmesg? and wht this command do and how can we use it
[16:08] <KenBW22> what happened to that app that used to be in System > Administration > Hardware Devices?
[16:08] <sztomi> I'm trying to establish an ssh connection between two ubuntu boxes. The problem is that whenever I set a static ip address on the server, it gets reset after a few seconds. I managed to connect once, but a few minutes later, the connection was frozen, and when I checked, the static IP was reset on the server. Can you help me?
[16:08] <strangeseraph> okay, so I have the torrent of 8.10 downloading. What is a sumcheck, do I need it since this is a torrent? Or should I check it just in case?
[16:08] <Temujin_> daredevilthere: what are you trying to do?
[16:08] <r|z0n> DJones, Again thanks for the chat. I'm going to get off here and see if I can fix a few bugs in this thing. I'll be back later.
[16:08] <jkp> hey all: can anyone recommend an online backup service on the lines of Mozy / Backblaze / Carbonite that supports linux?
[16:08] <testuser> Has anyone had any experience with SSH?  My ssh has stopped working -- I keep getting "Permission denied (publickey,password)" errors...
[16:08] <daredevilthere> i am just tryig to learn ubuntu and learning commands
[16:08] <daredevilthere> i mean to get hold on my system
[16:08] <strangeseraph> I currently have Wubi on this laptop, but I want to use JUST Linux and have Vista or XP on my old laptop.
[16:09] <Gnea> !terminal | daredevilthere
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !info abs-guide
[16:09] <captspify> to testuser- do you have physical access to the server?
[16:09] <sztomi> strangeseraph: there should be no problems, but it's a good practice to check the files before burning, and check the disc after it was booted up.
[16:09] <strangeseraph> :)
[16:09] <Gnea> sztomi: you should ask in #ubuntu-server
[16:10] <sztomi> thx
[16:10] <RawHeartless> Hi
[16:10] <^Mahesa^> hay
[16:10] <KenBW22> what happened to that app that used to be in System > Administration > Hardware Devices - it was like Windows' Device Manager
[16:10] <testuser> to captspify: THANK YOU!  I can't even "ssh <IP_ADDRESS>"...
[16:10] <captspify> to testuser- have you tried re-installing ssh?
[16:10] <testuser> (Yes, I have access to the server, it is the localhost...)
[16:10] <RawHeartless> I was wondering, why sometimes Firefox is over all the bars and everything.  Even the buttons minimize, maximize and close are gone... it's really annoying!
[16:11] <testuser> Yes, I tried "sudo apt-get remove openssh-server" and then "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"... No joy. :-(
[16:11] <Gnea> RawHeartless: got a screenshot?
[16:11] <omnydevi> Raw - you have compiz?
[16:11] <RawHeartless> Gnea sure, where can I upload it?
[16:11] <IndyGunFreak> RawHeartless: never had that prob... almost sounds like a theme issue
[16:11] <KenBW22> testuser: try sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server
[16:11] <captspify> to tesuser- are you trying to ssh into the smae machine your using?
[16:11] <Gnea> RawHeartless: imageshack.us
[16:12] <gst-kaps> anyone having knowledge on testdisk ?
[16:12] <testuser> KenBW22:  will try that; BRB...
[16:12] <omnydevi> i used to have that issue, but it was compiz, had to reload it to get them back
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile > meho_
[16:12] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: i take it you didn't backup prior to doing this?
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !info build-essential > meho_
[16:13] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:yeah I didnt backeup my data
[16:13] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: this is probably gonna be a good lesson.. hope nothing important was there
[16:13] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:there was, thats why i am trying hard to recover
[16:13] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:i agree i am sorry
[16:14] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:testdisk says there is a linux partition
[16:14] <omnydevi> gst - yeah. rescuecd is your best bet...but prolly will have negative results. unless you want to turn the hdd to a company that recovers data for like 7 grand..yer kinda screwed
[16:14] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: what file system does it say it is?
[16:15] <testuser> KenBW22, captspify:  I just tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server", followed by "sudo apt-get install openssh-server", then "ssh 127.0Permission denied (publickey,password)."  :-(.0.1", and again,  "
[16:15] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: thats just what i was about to say, unless you're gonna pay some heavy cheese for data recovery, its lsot.
[16:15] <RawHeartless> Gnea here it is http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firefoxem9.jpg
[16:15] <captspify> testuser - so your trying to ssh into the box your already on? can I ask why?
[16:15] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:it says filesystem seems to be damaged
[16:15] <Gnea> Is anyone else having a problem with burning CDs/DVDs in intrepid? I keep getting errors when I insert a blank disk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100408/  and it worked fine in 8.04
[16:15] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: well...
[16:16] <IndyGunFreak> Gnea: no probs here, just burned 3-4 yesteday actually
[16:16] <strangeseraph> this is gonna be fun. I used Hoary Hedgehog for a year before getting an XP laptop, and I've been spoiled a bit. Getting back into Linux full time will be great.
[16:16] <omnydevi> Gnea - negative. i use k3b
[16:16] <Gnea> RawHeartless: try pressing F11 once or twice
[16:16] <RawHeartless> I did
[16:16] <RawHeartless> twice worked
[16:17] <omnydevi> gst - you could try the grub reinstall. that *might* do it. that the bot sent links to. then rescuecd....thats your best bet
[16:17] <testuser> captspify:  Yes, I am trying to test the ssh server; trying to eliminate any possible areas for confusion.  SSHing into another server is not working, either...  :-(
[16:17] <RawHeartless> thanks! Gnea
[16:17] <Gnea> omnydevi: I use k3b too, but this error persists. i've tried all_generic_ide=1 and it still doesn't work
[16:17] <Gnea> RawHeartless: cheers
[16:17] <omnydevi> those two options are your best bets.
[16:17] <Dotsch> I've made a Ubunutu Live CD specialiced for the BOINC usage. Is it posible to put such a CD on the ubuntu servers that other users could download them ?
[16:18] <Gnea> IndyGunFreak: i used to not have this problem at all before I threw intrepid on here... this is the only problem that I've had with it
[16:18] <omnydevi> Gnea - sorry, i use sata dvd-rw's. never had an issue, know little of ide :(
[16:19] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:for reinstalling grub i need to reinstall the whole ubuntu ?
[16:19] <ASULutzy> Dotsch: I would think that you'd have better luck getting BOINC servers to host that, wouldn't you? Worse comes to worse just start a torrent up, it'll spread if people hear about it I'm sure
[16:19] <Gnea> omnydevi: well, it's a USB connection... doesn't matter what's on the other end, even the internal IDE is doing the same thing
[16:19] <captspify> testuser - so this happens with any other ssh server? let me test on my box to see if ssh works on the local machine, brb
[16:19] <testuser> captspify:  thank you   :-)
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: no, you can reinstall grub from the live cd
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> but i dn't think grub is your issue.. is windows booting ok?
[16:20] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak: yes
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> !grub | gst-kaps you can try won't hurt anything i guess... follow the appropriate instructions
[16:20] <Dotsch> ASUlutzy : thx, torrent would be a good idea...
[16:20] <captspify> testuser - ok, that worked, give me a sec and I'll give you an address to test
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> try running a restore grub
[16:21] <omnydevi> gst - i dont think it is the issue either. i am just trying to think what i would do in the same situation before giving up completely
[16:21] <testuser> captspify:  thank you again, I really appreciate your help!  :-)
[16:21] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: if there was still a filesystem there, then reinstalling grub would be a good solution
[16:21] <omnydevi> gst - it might work, and thats enough for me. seen stranger things happen, heh
[16:21] <IndyGunFreak> but your essentially asking grub, to find something that isn't there.
[16:22] <omnydevi> gst - you could download super grub
[16:22] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:whats that ?
[16:22] <omnydevi> gst - a uber grub loader. it has a ton of features normal grub doesn't, its saved me once, but there was a fs to find, heh
[16:22] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: if there's a ubuntu/linux partition on the drive, he can just reinstall grub from an ubuntu cd..no real need for super grub
[16:23] <omnydevi> roger
[16:23] <captspify> testuser - do you have an address I can email you login info? don't feel safe making it public by posting on here |;)
[16:24] <strangeseraph> okay good, the sums are the same, so I can burn the CD. :)
[16:24] <gst-kaps> i will try
[16:24] <strangeseraph> oop, DVD ;)
[16:24] <b0b0> hi... like to ask... which one is important to see? Beacons? Data? PWR?
[16:25] <daredevilthere> Hey all
[16:25] <daredevilthere> Hey which player is better mplayer or totem
[16:25] <omnydevi> dared - up to the user. most will say mplayer though.
[16:26] <testuser> captspify:  THANK YOU AGAIN!  While waiting, I noticed that there is both an ssh_config and an sshd_config in /etc/ssh, and that the ssh_config bizarrely had "PasswordAuthentication no" instead of "PasswordAuthentication yes"; when I changed this to "yes" and restarted the sshd, lo-an-behold, I could ssh into both my localhost and the remote machine...  YAY!
[16:26] <cwillu> daredevilthere, I prefer totem myself, can't be bothered to learn mplayer
[16:26] <cwillu> that, and it's already installed :p
[16:26] <captspify> testuser- wow, nice
[16:26] <daredevilthere> Hmm totem slider is not good
[16:26] <testuser> captspify: thank you for offering to email a remote host to test my ssh on, I won't be needing that email after all.  Thank you again, captspify!
[16:27] <omnydevi> dared - you can always download whatever you want and play with it, if you don't like it, just delete it and try another ;)
[16:27] <cwillu> testuser, might consider setting up an ssh key, and using that instead of password auth
[16:27] <captspify> testuser- not a problem, glad I could help anyway. hope it all works well!
[16:27] <cwillu> testuser, simple matter of running ssh-keygen, and copying the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the target
[16:27] <daredevilthere> how can i manage tasks from terminal?
[16:28] <floatboat> anyone here use fbpanel? do you know how i can edit the 'systemmenu' on the panel?
[16:28] <daredevilthere> i want to kill non responsivse tasks n c which r running
[16:28] <cwillu> daredevilthere, kill/killall/"ps aux|grep <name>"/top
[16:28] <ikonia> daredevilthere: please try not to use text speak, makes it easier to read
[16:29] <testuser> Thanks to all the helpers on #ubuntu.  Have a nice day!  :-)
[16:29] <strangeseraph> then again, Wubi does work. I could always just increase my disk space use with Wubi and keep Vista on this machine. So many decisions to make.
[16:30] <strangeseraph> the only thing keeping me from fully running Linux is my Zune. :o
[16:30] <shiman> i need help on networking
[16:30] <shiman> how to set my ubuntu to join windows network?
[16:30] <shiman> home network (join workgroup)
[16:30] <ikonia> shiman: as in be on the same network or join a domain
[16:30] <daredevilthere> use samba
[16:30] <shiman> already installed samba
[16:30] <AdvoWork> does anyone know of any plugins or anything for being able to file > print to pdf in firefox, so that it auto saves it as a .pdf(you can just name it 123 and it will add .pdf) ?
[16:30] <shiman> configured
[16:31] <ikonia> shiman: be part of the work group is fine, just set the workgroup name in the samba config file
[16:31] <shiman> but still cant find workgroup
[16:31] <ikonia> shiman: thats all it is, really a broadcast name
[16:31] <jinja-sheep> Is it even possible to downgrade?
[16:31] <jinja-sheep> !downgrade
[16:31] <shiman> do i need to reboot ?
[16:31] <ikonia> shiman: there is a line that says workgroup =
[16:31] <daredevilthere> Could anyone explain wht this means kill/killall/"ps aux|grep <name>"/top
[16:31] <colton_> what's the ubuntu equivalent of ctrl-alt-delete?
[16:31] <strangeseraph> I should probably get a different MP3 player. Sigh sigh. ^.^
[16:31] <cwillu> daredevilthere, split on the /
[16:31] <ikonia> colton_: what do you actually want to do ?
[16:31] <usr13> AdvoWork: I don't think so
[16:31] <cwillu> daredevilthere, different commands, type man <command> to read about each
[16:32] <daredevilthere> cwillu alrite
[16:32] <colton_> If I have a haywire application and I need to kill it, how can I do that?
[16:32] <shiman> changed from workgroup = WORKGROUP to my home network
[16:32] <Temujin_> jinja-sheep: why are you trying to downgrade?
[16:32] <ikonia> colton_: use the kill command
[16:32] <cwillu> shiman, "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" as well?
[16:32] <usr13> AdvoWork: Does any other browser have such a feature?
[16:32] <ikonia> shiman: ok, well done, so what's the problem ?
[16:32] <napster> is there any application similar to Mail Bomber?
[16:32] <cwillu> to pick up the new setting
[16:32] <colton_> ok, but how to I know what to type after kill?
[16:32] <shiman> cwillu: yes did that also. restarted the samba.. nothing happens
[16:32] <jinja-sheep> Temujin_:  There are no Ubuntu UMPC 8.04 LTS, only 8.10.
[16:32] <AdvoWork> usr13,  not that I know of
[16:32] <colton_> kill . . . what?
[16:33] <daredevilthere> How to check which services are running on ubuntu?
[16:33] <colton_> kill yeah.
[16:33] <ikonia> shiman: what are you expecting to happen ?
[16:33] <shiman> ikonia: i cant join workgroup
[16:33] <strangeseraph> music is central to my life right now. ^^
[16:33] <cwillu> colton_, use killall <process name> if you know there's only one running, etc
[16:33] <omnydevi> dared - system - administration - system monitor
[16:33] <ikonia> shiman: define join a workgroup, what are you expecting to see that your not seeing ?
[16:33] <cwillu> killall takes names, while kill takes a process id
[16:33] <shiman> okay. just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10
[16:33] <strangeseraph> but then again, I only have no more than 4GB of music, I could use the Sansa until I get a 8GB+ player
[16:33] <nickrud> daredevilthere,  sudo netstat -tlnp
[16:33] <colton_> how do I know the process name?
[16:33] <daredevilthere> omnydevi no i am asking how to do that frm terminal
[16:34] <shiman> ikonia: previously i can browse thru network.. and get files from other pcs that are using windows
[16:34] <Slart> AdvoWork: I think there is a pdf printer you can install.. it works like a normal printer but outputs pdf's.. would that work for you?
[16:34] <ikonia> shiman: you need to have shares defined for that
[16:34] <cwillu> colton_, the name of the command you ran to start it, or look it up in top
[16:34] <usr13> AdvoWork: I may be wrong
[16:34] <strangeseraph> what mp3 players does everybody use? And please, don't say an iPod if you use one. D:
[16:34] <usr13> AdvoWork: I think I just found such a plugin
[16:35] <FassAss> what would be the best way to switch eth0 to gigabit?
[16:35] <omnydevi> strange - exaile
[16:35] <cwillu> strangeseraph, canola on my n800
[16:35] <Gnea> strangeseraph: LG
[16:35] <cwillu> strangeseraph, banshee on the computer itself
[16:35] <Jeruvy> !poll | strangeseraph
[16:35] <shiman> ikonia: previously when i was on ubuntu 8.04 it was kinda easy for me to join my workgroup.
[16:35] <omnydevi> shiman - go to places - connect to server, and select a windows share
[16:35] <usr13> AdvoWork: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5971
[16:35] <strangeseraph> not talking about the application, I'm talking about the device. :P
[16:35] <strangeseraph> for the app I'd use Songbird probably. ^__^
[16:36] <nuno_nunes> Hi pp
[16:36] <shiman> omnydevi: did that as well.. still cant. let me try it again
[16:36] <nuno_nunes> ppl
[16:36] <Jeruvy> strangeseraph: then you're really OT. :P
[16:36] <strangeseraph> o.o?
[16:36] <Gnea> !ot
[16:36] <daredevilthere> Hey i used sudo net usershare to add my /media/Drives they are added but whn i open smb://localhost i dont see anything
[16:36] <strangeseraph> oh. okay. I'll find a linux channel instead
[16:36] <Temujin_> winamp and foobar2000 run through WINE the last time I checked
[16:37] <omnydevi> shiman - that is the best way, i tried at home and couldnt get it to connect to save my life. then i went back and checked the xp box and my wife had taken out the ethernet cord to download torrents faster. make sure all checks balance out :)
[16:37] <Slart> !info cups-pdf | AdvoWork
[16:37] <Temujin_> strangeseraph: i have a sansa clip that works very well
[16:37] <AdvoWork> Slart, what about ti?
[16:38] <daredevilthere> !info ss
[16:38] <daredevilthere> !info ssh
[16:38] <FassAss> Is there a way to switch eth0 to gigabit? hardware should support it
[16:38] <Slart> AdvoWork: a virtual printer that outputs pdf files..
[16:38] <nickrud> !msgthebot > daredevilthere  (more fun this way)
[16:38] <Chousuke> FassAss: both endpoints?
[16:39] <FassAss> yes switch and card
[16:39] <archman> is there a channel for ubuntu games? support...
[16:39] <Chousuke> FassAss: it should get autonegotiated if it's supported.
[16:39] <archman> win games on ubuntu
[16:39] <FassAss> hmm..
[16:39] <Jeruvy> FassAss: agree with Chousuke on that one.
[16:39] <meho_> i have gotten info that i need to install new version of alsa
[16:40] <Chousuke> FassAss: though it's possible to change it manually too if it for some reason fails to automatically set itself up. IIRC with ifconfig
[16:40] <meho_> and i have no clue how to do it even if the code is slapped on my face
[16:40] <homy> HI! I created bootable usb-drive using Create usb startup disk in an intrepid live cd. (32bit). But it doesn not work, my computer says "no bootable device found" when I select "removable" as the boot device.
[16:40] <strangeseraph> might wait until I actually have a new mp3 player to put the full install of ubuntu on. Wubi is fine for now.
[16:40] <shiman> guys, previously i just right click on the network icon on the taskbar and add my workgroup name then apply. but after i've upgraded to 8.10 im kinda lost
[16:40] <Chousuke> FassAss: are you sure all the ports in the switch are gigabit ports? :)
[16:40] <jinja-sheep> homy:  That's for booting up.... at BIOS.... not Windows.
[16:41] <FassAss> Pretty sure. Let me get the driver info and such brb
[16:41] <shiman> cwillu: previously i just right click on the network icon on the taskbar and add my workgroup name then apply. but after i've upgraded to 8.10 im kinda lost
[16:41] <jinja-sheep> homy:  Kill the power switch on Vista.  Boot up and press <menu boot> button.  Select USB.
[16:41] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes. It says "Press F9 to select first boot device after POST", then I pressed F9 and got a menu with removable, cd and hard disk.
[16:41] <homy> jinja-sheep: i did select that in the bios.
[16:42] <homy> I also tried different usb ports in the computer.
[16:42] <daredevilthere> /msg ubottu !search factoid
[16:42] <omnydevi> arcman - what games?
[16:42] <shiman> do i need to reboot my pc to get into the network workgroup?
[16:42] <jinja-sheep> homy:  That's strange.  It should be.  I know because I did that few hours ago.
[16:43] <daredevilthere> what are iptables?
[16:43] <Barridus> homy, remake the usb drive but delete (and possibly recreate) the fat16 partition
[16:43] <Barridus> in gparted
[16:43] <Barridus> then run the usb creation app
[16:43] <omnydevi> shiman -shouldnt. is it a domain or workgroup computer?
[16:43] <daredevilthere> Hey buddies . can video be played in terminal ?
[16:43] <shiman> nope. not a domain. just workgroup
[16:43] <homy> Barridus: thats weird: gparted tells me its a fat32 partition but you spoke of a fat16 file system?
[16:43] <jinja-sheep> daredevilthere:  Yes.
[16:44] <omnydevi> shiman - does windows have a firewall or somesuch that might be blocking you?
[16:44] <Slart> daredevilthere: I think there are some framebuffer players
[16:44] <daredevilthere> jinja-sheep How
[16:44] <daredevilthere> framebuffers players
[16:44] <Gnea> !iptables | daredevilthere
[16:44] <Slart> daredevilthere: or you could use vlc's ascii output module =)
[16:44] <shiman> omnydevi: i dont think so. because previously i can browse through workgroup.
[16:44] <daredevilthere> can i play video in tty
[16:44] <daredevilthere> ?
[16:44] <newair> I have Firefox 3.0.5 and I can't use Java sites.  Any comments?
[16:45] <Seveas> newair, use non-java sites instead ;)
[16:45] <omnydevi> shiman - do you have the same ip as before?
[16:45] <Temujin_> newair: do you have a java plugin?
[16:45] <Barridus> homy now that you mention it, i'm not sure if i used 16 or 32.  feel free to experiment, but there is a bug that prevents the drive from being made properly if you don't use gparted
[16:45] <Seveas> newair, or install the sun-java6-plugin package
[16:45] <shiman> omnydevi: DHCP
[16:45] <jinja-sheep> !info aaxine | daredevilthere
[16:46] <shiman> omnydevi: address given by router
[16:46] <slak> hey anyone know how to change pAM to auth against ldap
[16:46] <homy> Barridus: could you check? My drive came preformatted with fat32 when I bought it. (See output of fdisk -l at http://paste.ubuntu.com/100419/).
[16:46] <omnydevi> shiman - i could be a firewall then if you are 100% sure the workgroup, share, and username/password and connections are how they are supposed to be.
[16:46] <Temujin_> newair: are you on 64-bit
[16:46] <Slart> !info libxine1-console
[16:46] <omnydevi> shiman - does it give you an error message when you try to connect?
[16:46] <newair> I tried to install the sun-java6-plugin and no response
[16:46] <shiman> omnydevi: ic..
[16:47] <newair> 32bit
[16:47] <Slart> !info xine-console | daredevilthere
[16:47] <omnydevi> shiman - any error message details could be helpful :)
[16:47] <AdvoWork> Slart, yeah ive seen it
[16:47] <homy> Barridus: where would that bug be? (Only 2 bugs in launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/usb-creator/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New&field.status=Incomplete&field.status=Confirmed&field.status=Triaged&field.status=In+Progress&field.status=Fix+Committed&field.status=Fix+Released&field.status=Invalid&field.status=Won%27t+Fix&field.omit_dupes.used=)
[16:47] <FassAss> Chousuke > you were right. I thought the onboard nic Realtek RTL8201BL was 1gig but its only 100. dumb question. Thanks for encouraging me to actaully open the case and find out wich MB I had used to peice that pc together with.

[16:47] <MTecknology> suggestions for anything better than ampache?
[16:47] <shiman> omnydevi: nope. i tried to browse using places -> network ->windows network -> my workgroup
[16:47] <AdvoWork> but u cant name the files
[16:48] <shiman> omnydevi: i can see my workgroup name. but once i clicked on the icon.. there's nothing inside
[16:48] <omnydevi> shiman - did you go to places, connect to server, and setup the share using Windows Share?
[16:48] <cwillu> MTecknology, define better
[16:48] <daredevilthere> thanks jinja-sheep
[16:48] <cwillu> (apache I presume)
[16:48] <Chousuke> FassAss: you're welcome. :)
[16:48] <omnydevi> shiman - until you establish you have rights to access the share, you won't be able to see anything inside of it
[16:49] <Barridus> homy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[16:49] <shiman> omnydevi: what shud i do next?
[16:49] <Barridus> skip down to where it says "missing operating system"
[16:49] <unop> shiman, tried restarting samba ?
[16:49] <omnydevi> shiman - that is established in Places - Connect to Server in the top right corner of your screen. Click Places, then you should see Connect to Server in the menu
[16:49] <Barridus> i had that issue, and that was indeed the workaround
[16:49] <MTecknology> cwillu: ampache lets uses apache - but it's a way to stream music from a server - http://ampache.org/
[16:49] <shiman> unop: tried few times. same result
[16:49] <cwillu> ah, k
[16:50] <shiman> omnydevi: hold on

[16:50] <omnydevi> you shouldnt need samba
[16:50] <Bagualas> I made a downgrade of the java, how may I set the PATH of system and new path for java?
[16:50] <kitche> newair: it should but on ubuntu it doesn't you need to install the -plugin
[16:50] <jinja-sheep> Bagualas :: in your .bashrc, I believe.
[16:51] <homy> Barridus: uhm... which version of SYSLINUX does the usb-creator included by default in intrepid use?

[16:55] <quietdev> Hi, thanks ahead of time for this one, after plugging in an external Samsung 17" CRT into the Thinkpad Z60T with Ubuntu 8.10 I was offered to allow Ubuntu to automagically edit something called the "virtual display" something something.

[16:56] <Katangawise> Hi all! I want to see my wireless card model. I'm typing lspci -v | less but in networking get ethernet card only. Now i'm working with wi-fi, but signal is not stable and very weak. Anybody knows whats wrong? Ubuntu 8.10

[16:57] <omnydevi> shiman - you used the windows computer name, and user/pass?

[16:58] <Katangawise> Hi all! I want to see my wireless card model. I'm typing lspci -v | less but in networking get ethernet card only. Now i'm working with wi-fi, but signal is not stable and very weak. Anybody knows whats wrong? Ubuntu 8.10
[16:58] <guntbert> !repeat | Katangawise

[16:59] <Katangawise> !repeat
[16:59] <shiman> omnydevi: hold on
[16:59] <Katangawise> Hi all! I want to see my wireless card model. I'm typing lspci -v | less but in networking get ethernet card only. Now i'm working with wi-fi, but signal is not stable and very weak. Anybody knows whats wrong? Ubuntu 8.10
[16:59] <omnydevi> wilco
[17:00] <Gnea> Katangawise: please stop that.
[17:00] <shiman> omnydevi:  is it possible to set my network card eth0 to use my workgroup name?
[17:00] <jim_p> Katangawise, yes, but it is not in my pc so i have to give instructions to the owner
[17:00] <Zarvox_> hi
[17:00] <omnydevi> shiman - not sure. I just use the way we are going through now at home. I haven't really messed with my eth0 too much. I can test tonight and get back later on it though
[17:01] <guntbert> Katangawise: let us have a look: pastebin the output of sudo lspci -v
[17:01] <jim_p> Katangawise, what wireless card are you on?
[17:01] <omnydevi> shiman - i think you can, but that might require samba at that point
[17:01] <Zarvox_> since intrepppid myy keyboard is more sensitive
[17:01] <daredevilthere> Ubuntu is great. I love it :)
[17:01] <Katangawise> guntbert, wrere
[17:01] <shiman> omnydevi: on 8.04 i can just set the eth0 to use the workgroup name and voila! all done. i can browse the workgroup network
[17:01] <Katangawise> guntbert, were can i post output?
[17:02] <Zarvox_> aka typing is too faaast
[17:02] <shiman> omnydevi: once ive upgraded to 8.10 there is no option for me to set the eth0 to use the workgroup
[17:02] <superdug> I'm trying to install 8.10, besides there being elements all over the screen ... when in terminal I type ubituity --debug --pdb --desktop %k gtk_ui ... it sits there for a moment then exits with no message
[17:02] <omnydevi> shiman - yeah. everytime i just enter the server name, folder name, username and password and it lets me in. i haven't looked for a faster way to do it yet.
[17:02] <homy> Zarvox_: open System->Preferences->Keyboard and ajust the sliders to suit yourself.
[17:03] <jcfp> jim_p: wired network cards usually just work, and these realtek onces are very common too.
[17:03] <homy> Barridus: ok, usb-creator is finished now, I'll have to reboot to try it out though :)
[17:03] <Katangawise> jim_p, Thats a problem.. I dont know now.. I cant get output about model og my wireless card..:(
[17:03] <guntbert> !pastebin | Katangawise
[17:03] <shiman> omnydevi: hmm ic. okay. i'll try to troubleshoot first. will get back to u
[17:03] <shiman> omnydevi: thanks for ur time
[17:03] <jim_p> jcfp, is there a chipset-to-correct-module chart?
[17:03] <omnydevi> shiman - hope i was of help!
[17:03] <Zarvox_> homy: tx but nothing append
[17:04] <AngryElf> when I try connecting to a vpn(pppt) with the network manager,it  tells me that the connection failed -- nothing more detailed than that any way to figure out what's wrong with it?
[17:04] <jcfp> Katangawise: in lspci a wireless network card will show as just another 'ethernet controller' because that's exactly what it is.
[17:04] <jim_p> Katangawise, lspci | grep wireless
[17:04] <jim_p> Katangawise, lspci | grep Wireless
[17:04] <[Spooky]> Is there any help command to ubottu?
[17:05] <dr_willis> !help

[17:05] <dr_willis> :)
[17:06] <guntbert> jim_p: 'lspci  | grep -i wireless' is a bit shorter :)
[17:06] <asortic> Enter text here...
[17:07] <asortic> hi
[17:07] <jcfp> jim_p: get the id from lspci -n, then google. 'modinfo' command is useful too, module for your card is probably "8139too"
[17:07] <jim_p> jcfp, thanks
[17:08] <homy> Barridus: my bios still says "No bootable Device found" :) So I still can't boot from the usb thumb drive.

[17:09] <LinuxGhost> Someone HELP ME, ive bought a PC TV Pendrive Tv Tuner, it works on windows on ubuntu i cant watch, ive tried TV Time even VLC bUT THE settings arae so difficult
[17:09] <dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  you sure it even has ANY linux support at all?
[17:09] <dr_willis> A lot of tv tuners are just not supported..
[17:10] <LinuxGhost> it has specifications for windows only
[17:10] <billybigrigger> hi all, whats the best way to get flash working in firefox? should i install the sun-java6-jre package or is there a big howto around on how to get it working? im on 8.10 x64
[17:11] <homy> LinuxGhost: is it a dvb-t tuner? Does it connect via usb?
[17:11] <LinuxGhost> but is it impossible to watch on ubuntu?
[17:11] <dr_willis> billybigrigger,  i just install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and it installs flash and java..  ive not had to 'tweak/work/mess' with those in ages.
[17:11] <aba-> billybigrigger: what's java have to do with flash?.. lol
[17:11] <billybigrigger> dr_willis: thanks
[17:11] <Gnea> LinuxGhost: what does dmesg have to say about it?
[17:11] <csana> can vmware be installe don ubuntu?
[17:11] <LinuxGhost> it is like usb,
[17:11] <dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  You would have to check for your specific tuner and see if it has linux support. Google/forums/hardware support list
[17:11] <dr_willis> !hardware
[17:11] <Gnea> csana: yes.
[17:11] <dr_willis> !cmware
[17:11] <dr_willis> !Vmware
[17:12] <billybigrigger> aba-: haha, just read my question, i didn't mean to ask about flash in firefox
[17:12] <throlkena> hi guys i need some help with running the c compiler in the ubuntu terminal.
[17:12] <billybigrigger> my bad
[17:12] <LinuxGhost> when i connect it no signal is given even when i do the command lsusb i cant see it
[17:12] <homy> !tv | LinuxGhost
[17:12]  * billybigrigger is a little stuffed up and sick today
[17:12] <aba-> oh
[17:12] <dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  If its supported.. it should work.. if its not.. then it wont.  Its possible it may get support  in the future. Its hard to tell  - it depends on the exact tuner/card/thing.
[17:12] <homy> Barridus: any other ideas to get me booting from usb drive?
[17:12] <throlkena> can we use stdio.h in ubuntu's terminal ? (i'm new to this)
[17:12] <throlkena> while using c?
[17:12] <jinja-sheep> homy:  How about disc?
[17:13] <dr_willis> homy,  tryed that unetbootin tool? I use it to make bootable Usb media from ubuntu iso images
[17:13] <Gnea> !gcc | throlkena
[17:13] <homy> dr_willis: I used the usb-creator installed in intrepid by default.
[17:13] <homy> jinja-sheep: yeah, I can boot fine from a cd rom but, i want to have a usb thumb drive on which I can also save settings and stuff like that.
[17:14] <alexis12> Is the ubuntu cd you can request from the website a live cd?
[17:14] <dr_willis> homy,  ive had mixxed results with that tool - a lot seems to depend on if ive made my usb stick bootable befor.  Same with Unetbootin,  You may want to try Unetbootin. it cant hurt. :)  also it seems some usb media are more pboelmatic then others
[17:14] <Gnea> !vmware > csana
[17:15] <daxelrod> alexis12: Yes, it is a livecd.
[17:15] <homy> dr_willis: I made put an iso on it with usb-creator before, and that worked. Then I wiped it a time ago and now I'm trying again...
[17:15] <alexis12> daxelrod: thank you, im new here :D
[17:15] <jinja-sheep> homy | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[17:15] <unop> alexis12, yes, they used to send out an install cd too some years ago - don't know if they still do that
[17:15] <LinuxGhost> but itt is supposed to have some tricks or shortcut to watch tv with any tv tuner like some commands i run to use any nokia phone to dial-up under ubuntu
[17:16] <daxelrod> alexis12: It will almost certainly be faster to download it than to wait for them to ship you the CD however
[17:16] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes. I used method 0. (but in intrepidm usb-creator is included by default and I didn't have to install it)
[17:16] <LinuxGhost> it is supposed to have some commands to watch TV on ubuntu with any card/usb
[17:16] <Gnea> csana: have you tried ndiswrapper?
[17:17] <csana> Gnea:yesw
[17:17] <csana> *yes
[17:17] <jinja-sheep> homy:  What Ubuntu version?
[17:17] <Gnea> csana: okay. you'll need to find a way to get vmware to that system then. usb?
[17:17] <throlkena> can anyone check this out? http://pastebin.ca/1300214
[17:17] <csana> Gnea:yah i have usb
[17:17] <daxelrod> alexis12: Any of the Desktop cds not labeled alternative are livecds
[17:17] <alexis12> daxelrod: Yep, i heard about 6 weeks, but, i have exams in the next week and if i get it now, i will be distracted..I've never done anything like this before..
[17:18] <Gnea> csana: like, a thumbdrive?
[17:18] <passingmannar> wht exam
[17:18] <Phase> Any tools that I can use to send/receive faxes on my all-in-one?
[17:18] <throlkena> ubottu http://pastebin.ca/1300214 is my problem..

[17:19] <Gnea> throlkena: i'm going to get you a link, again, for what you need.. please pay careful attention.
[17:19] <jinja-sheep> homy:  Did you try different flashdrive?  I had some issues with certain flashdrives in the past.
[17:19] <Gnea> !compile | throlkena
[17:20] <Pistos> I know this must be a newbish question, but my Google Fu is failing me at hte moment; How can I change the download sources for aptitude?  I don't have GUI access to the machine.
[17:20] <jinja-sheep> !source
[17:20] <Pistos> jinja-sheep: Thank you.
[17:21] <daxelrod> Pistos: Do you mean you want to change what repositories are used?
[17:21] <Gnea> throlkena: gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c   <-- that should do it
[17:21] <Pistos> daxelrod: Yes.
[17:21] <jinja-sheep> Pistos:  That's not it.
[17:21] <Pistos> The current ones are downloading too slowly.

[17:21] <[maurice]> is there a way to enable/disable system beep?
[17:21] <homy> jinja-sheep: well, no I only have one. But, I made it bootable using usb-creator before. But then, after a while, I wiped the drive; and today, I want to install ubuntu on it again. So I know the drive works.
[17:21] <Pistos> jinja-sheep: Yeah, I sorta gathered after reading a bit.  :)

[17:22] <unavailable> !unetbootin
[17:22] <homy> unavailable: i used usb-creator which is included by default in ubuntu 8.10
[17:22] <homy> and usb-creator worked before!
[17:22] <homy> with exactly the same drive
[17:22] <unavailable> unetbootin works inside windows.  (just giving an alternative)
[17:22] <jinja-sheep> homy:  It work... but it is probable that you wear the usb drive out already.  See if you can open inside... save files on it... etc.
[17:22] <levene__> I'm using hardy, and I cannot use virtualbox since the vm driver is not installed. it was working before christmas; I think the kernel has been updated since then.,
[17:22] <passingmannar> can ubuntu be installed in usb and run from any pc ?
[17:22] <levene__> what do I do?
[17:22] <unavailable> yes
[17:22] <unavailable> passingmannar: yes
[17:23] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes, otherwise usb-creator couldn't save files on it (and I see that there now are fles on the drive)
[17:23] <levene__> the virtualbox-ose-modules-generic package is installed (this is what the error dialog message suggests)
[17:23] <sztomi> unetbootin is not windows-only BTW
[17:23] <[maurice]> hello, is there a way to enable/disable system beep?
[17:23] <Gnea> !usb | passingmannar
[17:23] <unavailable> sztomi: k, i was just saying you can run it in windows...
[17:23] <passingmannar> thanks Gnea
[17:23] <jinja-sheep> passingmannar | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent |  Why don't you do it now?  homy have issues with it. <_<
[17:23] <dr_willis> [maurice],  xset b off, gets rid of most of them. of course some apps may be beeping in their own way. Gnome has some beep settings also
[17:23] <levene__> [maurice]: there are some wires inside your machine... you could attach a switch :-)
[17:23] <passingmannar> so does it work well
[17:24] <homy> jinja-sheep: I tried the Method 0 given.
[17:24] <jinja-sheep> [maurice]:  Take the speakers out with the baseball bat.
[17:24] <scampbell> throlkena: your posted source code is broken, use printf not print.  Here is the fixed code, compiled and run   http://pastebin.ca/1300224
[17:24] <[maurice]> dr_willis, levene__ thanks
[17:24] <levene__> anyone using virtualbox on hardy?
[17:24] <dr_willis> levene__,  lots of us do..
[17:24] <jinja-sheep> [maurice]:  Run this command -- rmmod pcspkr
[17:24] <[maurice]> jinja-sheep, thanks for the advice, ill try that when all else fails
[17:24] <levene__> dr_willis: is it working as of the last apt-get update?
[17:25] <dr_willis> levene__,  not noticed.  Not on Linux at the moment.
[17:25] <levene__> dr_willis: because mine is now broken and i don't know how to fix it
[17:25] <levene__> dr_willis: the virtualbox-ose-modules-generic package is installed (this is what the error dialog message suggests)
[17:25] <Gnea> [maurice]: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=126746
[17:25] <[maurice]> levene__ it seems to be working now, when you guys say my nick it beeps, thats what I was wanting, but its so low I can hardly hear it
[17:26] <levene__> [maurice]: which irc client?
[17:26] <dr_willis> [maurice],  the irc client may have its own 'nick beep' settings
[17:26] <jinja-sheep> homy:  I'm aware you tried the method 0.  However -- There are nothing I can do.  It worked for me.  Did you try saving files on the usb?
[17:26] <[maurice]> Xchat
[17:26] <levene__> [maurice]: well, use irssi like sensible people, then :-)
[17:27] <homy> jinja-sheep: right-click->create document->empty file works well. Btw, the usb drive is formated to fat32? Is that ok?
[17:27] <jinja-sheep> homy:  I mean... save to the USB.
[17:27] <iderik> Hello, i've just installed ubuntu, and trying to install NVIDIA drivers with Harddrive Drivers application, nothing happens when I try to activate the driver in the list =/ anyone know what's wrong? if you need any more information, please tell me :-)
[17:27] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes, saving to usb also works fine
[17:27] <jinja-sheep> Fat32 should be fine.
[17:28] <omnydevi> iderik - nothing happens when you hit activate?
[17:28] <m1dn1ght> Hi guys.  I wrote a simple bash script to run a couple of commands.  Works fine.  To simplify it I created a simple application launcher for gnome-panel so I could run the script with one click.  This also works fine, however what I would like to do is have the script run in a visible terminal (like the option when I double click the script in nautilus) so I can see the progress.  Is this possible?
[17:28] <jinja-sheep> homy:  If nothing work, try Method 1... and 2.
[17:28] <homy> jinja-sheep: ok, I'll probably do that. The weird thing is, method 0 worked perfectly for me in the past.
[17:28] <MikeTheMika> LIAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:28] <iderik> jinja-sheep: method 1 and 2? :/

[17:32] <MikeTheMika> its hard to recall since i can't open it anymore
[17:32] <MikeTheMika> its like i switch the permissions
[17:32] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: okay, are you able to login as your regular user?
[17:32] <homy> m1dn1ght: I think what you want is right-clicking the launcher->properties and changing "Application" to "Application in Terminal"?
[17:32] <MikeTheMika> yes
[17:33] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: if you open a terminal and type this command:  id    what do you get?
[17:34] <MikeTheMika> Gnea: uid=1000(mongkorn)   gid=1000(mongkorn)    groups=1000(mongkorn_

[17:36] <m1dn1ght> homy: but that did :)  thanks for the help
[17:36] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: you're going to need to boot with the livecd and fix your /etc/group file manually
[17:36] <omnydevi> iderik - what happens when you click activate?
[17:36] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:  hmmm ok
[17:37] <homy> m1dn1ght: you're welcome

[17:37] <sergi> hola
[17:37] <sandjkirkland> how do I add files to a folder that says "you do not have permission"
[17:38] <sergi> alguien me puede ayudar?
[17:38] <unop> !es | sergi
[17:38] <jinja-sheep> sandjkirkland, use sudo
[17:38] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: no, you'll need to make sure the disk gets mounted on the desktop when you boot it up, then open a terminal and become root (sudo -i) and edit the /media/disk/etc/group  (it might not be /media/disk, it might be /media/somethingelse)
[17:38] <puremichael> anyone know what broke radeonhd? i've installed it from the ubuntu repos and since yesterday i can only run in lowres mode
[17:38] <sergi> thanks
[17:38] <sandjkirkland> okay how do I open a folder using sudo ? I am on gnome desktop
[17:39] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: then just replace all instances of 'root' on the right-hand side to mongkorn
[17:39] <omnydevi> sand - sudo nautilus, that should do it
[17:39] <homy> sandjkirkland: you can try right-clicking the folder, selectiing properties->Permissions and changing permissions.
[17:39] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:  i see, so thats all I have to do?
[17:40] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: yeah, pretty much... when you saved it, make sure you unmount the disk before rebooting back into the main system
[17:40] <homy> Gnea: why does MikeTheMika do that? Are'nt the outputs of id ok?
[17:40] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:  alright, thank you very much
[17:41] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:  i've been dying over a week to fix it i have mid-term exams coming up >___< I'm still new with ubuntu
[17:41] <Gnea> homy: no.
[17:41] <homy> Gnea: sorry, could you elaborate on whats wrong?
[17:41] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: midterms in the beginning of january?!
[17:41] <wal3> hello. how can I see which program uses/blocks the audio dev?
[17:41] <Gnea> homy: open up a terminal and type id, then type id root
[17:42] <Gnea> homy: then, scrollback and see what he typed
[17:42] <Wildcat_> has anyone ever compiled alsa from source in ubuntu?... cause no one in the alsa channel will respond to me
[17:42] <Lillymon> Now I've really got a problem. My system froze completely and I was forced to reboot. fsck seemed very unhappy with the results it got on boot, and is asking me to manually fix something. sdb2 is gone, so I'm assuming the problem is there somewhere.
[17:42] <Gnea> Wildcat_: why would you need to do that?
[17:42] <wal3> hello. how can I see which program uses/blocks the audio dev?
[17:42] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:   yes....
[17:42] <sandjkirkland> omnydevi, Perfect thanks that did it
[17:43] <homy> oh, yes gnea, yeah, right
[17:43] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:   x-mas n new year isn't really a break for my university......
[17:43] <omnydevi> sand - glad to be of help :)
[17:43] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: ah, okay
[17:43] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: sorry about that :)
[17:43] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:   anyway, thanks again n i really appreciated the help u gave me
[17:43] <omnydevi> sand - if you try to access them as user, you will get the same error. you might have to give yourself permissions to the location and files. remember that sudo command, it comes in handy from time to time
[17:43] <Wildcat_> Gnea: im doing it becuase i need to use my audio over an hdmi cable.... alsa 1.0.8a is supose to suport it... but ubuntu only lets u upgrade to 1.0.7 so i had to download the tar files and install manually
[17:43] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: good luck

[17:44] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:   thanks, I will need it ^^   well take care Gnea

[17:45] <Gnea> !repeat | georgeaf
[17:45] <Lillymon> omnydevi: As I stated, the system froze and I was forced to reboot. fsck gave me an error and asked me to manually fix it. It started a management session, but I hadn't a clue what to do, so I hit Ctrl+D to get back to KDE.
[17:46] <Lillymon> The user friendliness of Ubuntu vanishes very quickly when you're asked to manually fix a broken file system from a fsck log.
[17:46] <omnydevi> lilly - sorry, i cant be of help on that, i know jack about kde. other than i like it, but had to stick with gnome
[17:47] <Lillymon> It's nothing to do with KDE! It's a broken partition that fsck spotted! KDE has no bearing on anything whatsoever!
[17:47] <CCRC-error> Hi all
[17:48] <kitche> Lillymon: if you don't know how to use fsck then I suggest read the man pages on fsck
[17:48] <CCRC-error> I've installed ubuntu 8.10 on a vmware & i want to use it (CLI mode only!) for running as my server.
[17:48] <omnydevi> kitche - looks like i could read those as well :D
[17:48] <homy> Lillymon: maybe you can boot from a live cd, start gparted and do a partition check and repair?
[17:48] <Lillymon> This is probably a minor thing. I had some torrents writing to the partition, maybe I'll lose some of that. I don't care but I've no a clue where to start here.
[17:48] <CCRC-error> Because of it I have to disable as much proceses as I can.. & I don't find info about them all via google, I hope you'll be able to help me.
[17:48] <kitche> Lillymon: since manually fixing a file system doesn't tell us much about your problem without seeing the exact error
[17:48] <macman_> anyone got wmv files to play on ubuntu 8.10
[17:48] <CCRC-error> What is for the console-screen.kdb.sh script?
[17:48] <pablo_> i need help to run a partition of ubuntu on vmware fusion over macosx
[17:49] <Lillymon> Well it wrote a log, but I don't remember where. Where would fsck write such a thing?
[17:49] <unop> macman_, sure - you'll need extra codecs tho
[17:49] <unop> !w32codecs > macman_

[17:59] <csc_> problem for experts: how can i extend the root filesystem of a livecd (which uses memory) with a given filesystem on an the hardisk?
[17:59] <unop> hbit, you'd have to use a gparted live CD and do this - but you should backup all data first
[18:00] <marco> koordin: what program's man pages?
[18:00] <Koordin> marco:for the system calls
[18:00] <Koordin> for instance, chmod(2)
[18:01] <sandjkirkland> how can I password protect a folder so that I even have to put in a pw to access

[18:01] <LuXor> guys
[18:01] <LuXor> SOS
[18:01] <LuXor> NEED HELP !!
[18:01] <homy> !ask | LuXor
[18:01] <marco> koordin: good question, but I don't know, sorry.
[18:01] <LuXor> homy i cannot connect to internet with the static IP
[18:02] <marco> csc_: I presume that if you use LVM on both partitions you can extend the way you are talking about
[18:02] <iderik> omnydevi: are you still there?
[18:02] <hbit> unop: yup thanx  that's the idea...1) boot gpart livecd 2) backup 3) resize 4) restore....the backup process is what I don't know how to perform...which would me the best dd tar ?? any parameters notes to care about?
[18:02] <marco> csc_: but livecd's usually don't use lvm, as it's a complicated mess unnecessary for a simple live cd
[18:02] <csc_> marco, dinamically?
[18:02] <Lillymon> tlvb: I have no idea, I haven't looked because no one gave any suggestions and I'm on the verge of fucking panic here!
[18:02] <LuXor> homy i have ubuntu 8.10 i followed this paper but not works... http://www.itech7.com/Linux/Ubuntu-810-internet-connection-for-a-static-IP
[18:02] <csc_> marco, i need to extend the root partition of my livecd dinamically
[18:02] <marco> csc_: would require unmounting the root partition I'm afraid
[18:02] <Koordin> sandjkirkland: i think you can remove the right to execute for the group and for the others ; then you are the only one who can open it
[18:03] <marco> csc_:you can always mount hdd partitions on points you need space on the livecd though, it would be simpler
[18:03] <LuXor> any help??? :(
[18:03] <csc_> marco, what do you mean
[18:03] <homy> LuXor: did you right-click network manager applet and use that gui (right click on the network icon in the top right and select Edit Conenctions...)
[18:03] <tlvb> Lillymon: ah, well to my knowledge /var/log is the standard logging directory, and looking at a local computer here I can see that there is a fsck directory in it
[18:04] <Lillymon> "fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=c1f497b5-987b-4dbb-b705-b6fcfdf28890'"
[18:04] <unop> hbit, i recommend tar.   (cd /path/to/src && tar cf - .) | (cd /path/to/dest && tar xf -)
[18:04] <LuXor> homy nope.. i was just following the paper what i have just gave you
[18:04] <macman_> unop, what does mediaubuntu have to do with me playing wav files on ubuntu 8.10
[18:04] <Wyhiwyl> Can someone explain this to me? I got this message when doing $ sudo apt-get upgrade:
[18:04] <marco> csc_: say, you need, for a reason, space in /usr/share on the live CD. You simply mount a partition with free space on the HD to /usr/share

[18:05] <frankychan_> hi
[18:05] <marco> hi.
[18:05] <frankychan_> anybody there
[18:05] <LuXor> homy you mean configure the IP-s from the Network Manager?
[18:05] <omnydevi> 1423 of us, whats your issue?
[18:05] <hbit> unop: thanks for the help
[18:05] <homy> LuXor: yes: right click on network manager, select "Edit connections"
[18:05] <macman_> unop, can i install that via apt-get ?
[18:06] <LuXor> homy & then?
[18:06] <iderik> omnydevi: can you help me with my driver problem i talked about? please
[18:06] <Koordin> hi, how can i download man page 2 & man page 3 ? (for the system calls, chmod (2) for instance)
[18:06] <unop> macman_, yes, as long as you have the medibuntu repository setup.
[18:06] <jonny_> For some reason my session never becomes inactive - the screensaver won't start and worse, the computer doesn't auto suspend!
[18:06] <homy> LuXor: is it a wired or wireless network you want to set a static ip for?
[18:06] <mgolisch> Koordin: install manpages-dev
[18:06] <omnydevi> iderik - install envyNG through Synaptic
[18:06] <marco> koordin: try "man 2 syscalls" or "man 2 intro"
[18:06] <jonny_> I only have firefox and google reader running (greader in prism)
[18:07] <LuXor> homy & no.. its some zyxel modem connected to lan card.. i don know what is name of that
[18:07] <omnydevi> iderik - that program will detect your nVidia card and install the correct driver if the hardware way is failing
[18:07] <marco> I beg of you, how come no one knows how ubuntu mounts removable devices? Does it use a daemon? How one could configure it?
[18:07] <jonny_> Hmmm. Does gnome-power-manager rely on the screensaver to tell it the session is idle?
[18:07] <homy> LuXor: so basically you just want to connect to the internet?
[18:08] <LuXor> homy & yes
[18:08] <csc_> marco, it's more complicated than that. basically my custom livecd has a squash filesystem which is 5,3GB. whenever data is required for it , it's expanded in the root fs / (not a precise point), which is a disc in ram. i need to extend this ram disc with some partition on a real hd.. i hope the prob is clear
[18:08] <homy> LuXor: do you have dsl?
[18:08] <homy> or what kind of a modem is it?
[18:08] <dman> my windows are auto loaded "stuck" to the top left corner of my screen, what preference will turn this off?  Or is this a video card issue?
[18:08] <Lillymon> OK, now what the hell is an operational error?
[18:08] <marco> csc_: but surely where you need the most space? /home?
[18:09] <Koordin> mgolisch: thanks that's it
[18:09] <LuXor> homy & yes its DSL, and the modem is ZyXel ( i dont know model )
[18:09] <homy> LuXor: ok, so select the DSL tab in "Network Connections"
[18:09] <Lillymon> If I actually use a live CD, what the hell do I actually DO with it?
[18:09] <LuXor> homy there is some user and password to configure... no static ip
[18:10] <marco> I reckon ubuntu talks softly to usb devices convincing them to mount like magic?
[18:10] <mgolisch> Koordin: yeah quite annoying that those important bits arent installed by default, but i guess the standard ubuntu user wouldnt even know what syscalls or libc is at all
[18:10] <mgolisch> :)
[18:10] <homy> LuXor: yes. the details you got from your provider. Why do you want to set a static ip address?
[18:10] <marco> mgolisch: or even how the system auto mounts removable devices...
[18:10] <Koordin> sure ;o)
[18:10] <Koordin> and the middle user know irc : )
[18:10] <Koordin> knows*
[18:11] <LuXor> homy because on windows it needs to be configured. and when you configure it your on the internet in some seconds...
[18:11] <LuXor> homy i dont know elseway to connect to internet
[18:11] <Lillymon> I need to fsck my disks using a live CD, but I've not a clue how to do that. It's all well and good saying "Use a live CD", but how damn you? What do I type and what do I do?
[18:11] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: what is the problem you are having with your removable device?
[18:12] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: I'm a curious type. I wanted to configure whatever is automagically mounting usb devices to try to configure the default permissions for vfat devices
[18:12] <omnydevi> lilly - i would guess you load the live cd, mount your drive, and use an application to scan and repair the disk
[18:12] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: this is linux after all, should be easy to custom simple file permissions, isn't it?
[18:12] <Lillymon> omnydevi: "an application"? How descriptive. It'll be a Kubuntu 8.10 CD.
[18:13] <qdb> hello. i have not installed ircd yet by i have "irc" in passwd file and in nautilus file properties permission tab. is that normal?
[18:13] <homy> LuXor: sorry, as I know it, ussually you get password/username from your provider (if you have a usb-modem). Maybe sb else can help you
[18:13] <macman_> unop, i just installed it and w32codec .. should i reboot and play the wmv in totem ?
[18:13] <omnydevi> lilly - sweet, forgive me, i am new to this myself. someone said earlier gparted had a scan and repair utility, i would look for that
[18:13] <Wildcat_> i need some serious help... tried to upgrade alsa and now my ubuntu says i dont have any sound devices... and no one in the alsa channel is talking... anyone have any advice?
[18:13] <LuXor> Anyone Know how to connect to internet ??? With Static IP ? i have ubuntu 8.10
[18:13] <unop> macman_, you shouldn't have to reboot - a simple restart of totem should be enough
[18:13] <LuXor> Anyone Know how to connect to internet ??? With Static IP ? i have ubuntu 8.10
[18:13] <dman> killall command is just "Killall App" yea?
[18:13] <omnydevi> LuXoR - can you set your IP in your router?
[18:14] <luke__> hi!
[18:14] <pzivkovic> when i run "import pygtk" in python console it runs without errors but when i run script with this line i get "IndentationError: unexpected indent"!any help?
[18:14] <omnydevi> LuXoR - most routers have an option to set IP based on mac address
[18:14] <g8tor> can someone help me with mounting my usb drives? The memory stick mounts just fine the hard drives will not mount @ all.
[18:14] <LuXor> omnydevi no i cant... the provider not giving me the password
[18:14] <pzivkovic> is this OS problem or python error?
[18:14] <unop> pzivkovic, there's #python
[18:14] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: how curious are you? there are graphical ways to control automounts
[18:14] <unop> pzivkovic, sounds like an error you have made with the python code
[18:14] <dman> killall command for myth please?
[18:14] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: including default permissions? I'm quite curious actually ;-)
[18:15] <wal3> hello. how can I see which program uses/blocks the audio dev?
[18:15] <puremichael> exists a channel related to the proprietary ati drivers ?
[18:15] <pzivkovic> unop, that code i copied from devhelp
[18:15] <pablo_> i need help to run a partition of ubuntu on vmware fusion over macosx
[18:15] <pzivkovic> unop, it sounds like ubuntu pygtk problem
[18:15] <pzivkovic> is there pygtk in ubuntu?
[18:15] <LuXor> omnydevi any help?
[18:15] <unop> pzivkovic, yea, though code formatted on webpages is hardly proper
[18:16] <unop> pzivkovic, make sure that line has no leading whitespace
[18:16] <ASULutzy> pzivkovic: Are you sure your indenting properly? Python requires strict indentation rules, no lines can have improper leading whitespace
[18:16] <qdb> hello. i have not installed ircd yet by i have "irc" in passwd file and in nautilus file properties permission tab. is that normal?
[18:16] <ASULutzy> you're*
[18:16] <danand> Hi all. I'm having a problem installing virtualbox guest additions. I'm running vbox on Ubuntu 7.10 (vbox 1.5.0 OSE) and the guest OS that I want to install the guest additions stuff on is Ubuntu 8.10. I've tried installing via the Guest Additions ISO and running the install script, and by apt-get installing the vbox source and utils package on the guest system. Unfortunately both lead to errors... Anyone else had this problem?
[18:16] <eseven73> dman: maybe 'killall -9 myth' or 'killall -9 myth*' if that dont work try 'ps aux |grep myth*' and find the pid, then 'kill -9 <pid # here'
[18:17] <unop> dman, eseven73, never kill -9 right off the bat - that's dangerous
[18:17] <ASULutzy> qdb: Yes, that's normal, check /etc/shadow, I'm guessing irc doesn't have a password, just like all the other users (www-data, nobody,  etc)
[18:17] <qdb> ok
[18:17] <macman_>  unop Unpacking w32codecs (from .../w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu3_i386.deb)
[18:17] <qdb> thanks
[18:17] <eseven73> lol unop ooops :/
[18:17] <unop> macman_, what's that?
[18:17] <unop> eseven73, really - don't
[18:17] <omnydevi> LuXoR - you have a router or just a modem?
[18:17] <macman_> unop, showing you that i installed mediaubuntu and installed w32codec
[18:18] <unop> macman_, ok
[18:18] <slak> ubuntu 8.10 = the suck
[18:18] <pzivkovic> unop, ASULutzy thanks!it was whitespaces problem!didn't know py is so strict about it!thanks again
[18:18] <macman_> unop, gxine , totem nothing will play the wmv
[18:18] <macman_> let me try vlc
[18:18] <ASULutzy> pzivkovic: yep, in the future, remember this is Ubuntu support, for python support, #python, but glad I could help
[18:18] <sandjkirkland> can I take a folder from one user and copy it to another user
[18:18] <eseven73> unop: i hear people in here saying 'kill -9 <pid>' all the time, so i never thought it as a danger :/
[18:19] <unop> sandjkirkland, sure
[18:19] <ASULutzy> eseven73: You don't want to kill -9 something for no good reason, kill sends a signal which tells a process to cleanup and die gracefully, if you do kill -9 you're not giving the process a chance to cleanup, you're abruptly killing it
[18:19] <sandjkirkland> unop Would this work Copy folder, logout, login to other user, paste
[18:20] <sandjkirkland> or ....
[18:20] <unop> eseven73, http://sial.org/howto/shell/kill-9/
[18:20] <eseven73> yes i know, but again i hear everyone else doing it in here, so i didnt think it was that big of a deal :)
[18:20] <ASULutzy> eseven73: kill sends sig 15 which is TERM by default, kill -9 sends signal 9, which is KILL, check the man page :)
[18:20] <pzivkovic> ASULutzy, i tried there but it requires registration.Sorry for offtopic.How can i register myself on this server?
[18:20] <macman_> unop, wheni play the file i get this error "The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported."
[18:20] <pzivkovic> i'll try #help
[18:20] <pzivkovic> ;)
[18:20] <ASULutzy> pzivkovic: /msg NickServ
[18:21] <unop> sandjkirkland, i would say - copy the folder to it's destination, assign right permissions and ownership, log out, log back in, etc
[18:21] <unop> macman_, yea, that's something i have never managed to get around - encrypted wmvs - not sure it's even possible on linux (yet)
[18:21] <omnydevi> LuXoR - if you have just a modem you are going to have a rough time trying to set your ip static. you will need some kind of router for that. depending on the router i might be able to walk you into it.
[18:21] <macman_> dang .. so unop play it in windows ?
[18:22] <dman> need to remove all traces of mysql, command for this would be??
[18:22] <unop> eseven73, if everyone jumps off the Brooklyn bridge - would you? :)
[18:22] <macman_> .. let me restart
[18:22] <dan_> Hi I'm new to ubuntu  I have always used windows and before that Dos. What are some of the things I should know about Ubuntu and Linux?
[18:22] <eseven73> lol ok ok i got the point

[18:23] <xdsl_user> sorri
[18:23] <It> hi
[18:23] <ASULutzy> dman: You could start by sudo apt-get purge mysql-server maybe?
[18:24] <omnydevi> hmm, what is the difference from apt-get remove and apt-get purge?
[18:24] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: do you want to assign permissions to the entire drive?
[18:24] <ASULutzy> omnydevi: remove just removes the program, purge removes the program and its config files I believe
[18:24] <hbit> unop: I'll perform a backup of my filesystem to an external usb drive (fat)...is there a way of doing this without having to create an ext3 filesystem on the usb drive ..create an iso or something  15GB's
[18:24] <omnydevi> ASUL - thank you, good to know. I just used remove...doh!
[18:25] <It> maybe man apt helps you
[18:25] <omnydevi> i could read the man, but faster to get an answer here, since i am at work and ubuntu-less atm
[18:25] <It> ok
[18:26] <unop> hbit,  you can create a tarball with tar - it has the capability to preserve permissions and ownership so you don't have to create a new filesystem
[18:26] <ASULutzy> hbit: You can use dd and make an image if you want to, there's also the option of tar'ing /
[18:26] <technodub> should i trust and make all the updates ?
[18:26] <unop> hbit,  the only problem is that FAT has a filesize limitation - you might have to split the tarball up into many peices
[18:26] <Quagmire> I bought an off-business lease laptop Dell D620 & it shows as being a very compatibe pc for ubuntu. My question is ...this system has a 100gb hdd that has a fresh install of XP Pro on it and I already have 2 other laptops, so its not like I'm without microcrap alternatives. ;) With that said I want to know what is my best course of action in setting up this laptop ...should I partition the hdd and leave XP or just format and install u
[18:26] <jim_p> Katangawise, are you still there?
[18:26] <It> trust yes
[18:27] <technodub> it r u sure?
[18:27] <It> but be sure you check the release infos
[18:27] <It> on the site
[18:27] <xdsl_user> Sorry bad english ... I know what you can use the client on ubuntu for IRC?
[18:27] <jessid> Hello. How can I know what ports ubuntu is using????????
[18:27] <ASULutzy> Quagmire: That's really a matter of personal preference, personally I would keep Windows on there, at least until you're sure Ubuntu is working fine for you... It would be silly to blow up the Windows install only to discover that Ubuntu isn't supported for some strange reason by your hardware
[18:27] <alexis12> Quagmire : It depends, if you would like to use windows on that laptop as well as ubuntu, then a partition will obviously be best.
[18:27] <omnydevi> Quag - depends. if you have important files i would back them up and use the whole pc. you still have 2 copies of winblows to use. wouldn't hurt to have a full ubuntu box. i would at least
[18:27] <jessid> !ports
[18:27] <It> sure because bugs always exists
[18:27] <technodub> how does the md5 checksum works?
[18:27] <ASULutzy> xdsl_user: What is your native language?
[18:28] <Barridus> Quagmire, depends on your needs.  i sort of like having both os's with me so i have both on my laptops.  you can always blow the xp partition out later if you decide it's uneccesary
[18:28] <It> md5 sums it's a long story
[18:28] <unop> technodub, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/md5
[18:28] <It> but every file even with a different file name
[18:28] <It> has other md5sum
[18:29] <unop> It, not every file - surely
[18:29] <It> unop  yes not every file...

[18:29] <wisnut> anyone know why running a tsclient session from intrepid causes X to lock up?  Mouse moves, can break out into CLI, but cannot move/minimize any windows on ubuntu desktop, although dos prompt in tsclient window still active. . . . . .very strange?

[18:30] <amikrop> Hello. After running that script http://dpaste.com/105672/, each Terminal I run points to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Pyro Studios/Imperial Glory. How can I fix this?
[18:30]  * technodub i love this channel
[18:31] <ASULutzy> It: I was directing xdsl_user to the russian Ubuntu support channel because his English was not very good and he said Russian was his native language.

[18:34] <It> ey skooz1 i think you can download KGRUBEDITOR
[18:34] <omnydevi> skooz1 - i would google grub and title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1
[18:35] <It> its should help you a lot it's a gui with options to change grub boot loader settings easily!

[18:35] <technodub> jessid type netstat - options
[18:35] <ASULutzy> jessid: you can use netstat to view what ports are open, ngrep can be used to monitor traffic coming in over a certain port,
[18:36] <jessid> technodub, ASULutzy thanks a lot!
[18:36] <It> Jessid : i agree also about netstat
[18:36] <jessid>  It, ok, thanks a lot!!!!
[18:36] <technodub> jessid :>
[18:36] <It> but maybe sudo netstat if you have default settings...

[18:56] <king> Muhammad_Saad, Sorry. What you could do is install the full system and then set the run mode to CLI so that it boots up at command prompt.
[18:56] <king> Muhammad_Saad, But if you don't need the GUI at all, you are better of doing a server install (if that is what you need) or using an alternate cd to choose the packages.
[18:56] <Supersaiyan_IV> !jaunty
[18:56] <king> Muhammad_Saad, You could probably use that file. I just don't know how.

[18:59] <pdtpatrick> sdf normally you can press ctrl+alt+enter and that works but in your case i think it is in the game itsef
[18:59] <king> sdf, GNOME probably has. I don't know.
[18:59] <CCRC-error> fosco_ - I need to disable gdm from the CLI
[18:59] <king> It, How is that relevant to his question.
[18:59] <tinkywonk> need help on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid kernel 2.6.27-11 acer extensa 5210 Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) can anyone please help me for some reason it seems to work but when i put a sd card in it just dont mount
[18:59] <CCRC-error> What daemon\services should I disable?
[19:00] <fosco_> gdm
[19:00] <ozzloy> i'm using default gnome desktop with kde's konsole for my terminal.  how do i get konsole to open links with firefox?
[19:00] <sdf> It, of course, but I assumed gnome would provide a handy way to small screen anything
[19:00] <sdf> regardless of what it is
[19:00] <king> tinkywonk, Do other ports work / have ever worked?
[19:00] <It> king : ok
[19:00] <Supersaiyan_IV> tinkywonk, does dmesg display some info that he device has connected?
[19:00] <king> !gdm
[19:00] <CCRC-error> ok, thanks.
[19:00] <pdtpatrick> sdf look look in the game settings itself and see whether that allows you.
[19:00] <It> sdf : i don't currently know how
[19:01] <nonix4> tinkywonk: and does dmesg show more lines when you plug the card in?
[19:01] <sdf> pdtpatrick, it doesnt
[19:01] <It> sdf: i don't play games but in settings of the game it might be an answer
[19:01] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. is there a way to fix this
[19:01] <It> rather than gnome
[19:01] <sdf> i cant imagine why gnome haven't added this feature
[19:01] <aberratic> where is python.h in ubuntu?
[19:01] <Wildcat_> nonix4: is there someoen that list the error code for demsg?
 not sure to be honest not tried them yet as got no usb devices available and yes dmesg says 932.228107] tifm_core: MMC/SD card detected in socket 0:1
[19:01] <tinkywonk>
[19:01] <It> aberratic check www.python.org
[19:01] <CCRC-error> p.s After my computer started, I did Ctrl+Alt F1 & started to configure my system from the CLI without login to the gnome, while I did /etc/init.d/gdm stop the gdmgreeter has continue to live, even after killing it it was relaunched - how can I disable it?
[19:02] <|c0mmissar|> hi I want to twin screen ubuntu 8.10 with an Nvidia gforce 6200 oc. my tty1 shows on the tv but when I ctrl+alt+F7 to go to xserver I get nothing on the tv out side. any thoughts?
[19:02] <pdtpatrick> sdf did u try the alt+ctl + enter? im sure there is a key combination for it .. if not then query google. Im sure another user probably ran into the same problem and resolved it
[19:02] <king> !card
[19:02] <tinkywonk> its a fresh install as just trying ubuntu out and i must say good so far
[19:02] <sdf> pdtpatrick, yeah that just makes it go to ne screen rather than 2
[19:02] <hckyplayer024> hi Im trying to connect to my encrypted network and i cannot connect to any encrypted network. i have Wicd installed and I know my key is right. does anyone know what I can do?
[19:02] <king> |c0mmissar|, I guess the CLI is not X. And only X is shared.
[19:02] <sdf> pdtpatrick, i'm having trouble with google querying aswell, i cant come up with a good search that has brough up anything interesting
[19:02] <tinkywonk> i have not tried any other ports at all as never use them but use my sd slot all the time
[19:03] <king> hckyplayer024, You should be able to connect to any Encrypted network with wicd.
[19:03] <king> hckyplayer024, run wicd from CL and look at the errors.
[19:03] <king> tinkywonk, Did your SD slot just stop working? Did it work before?
[19:03] <harlemdavvey> sapete dirmi come posso iscrivermi alla mailing list della community di traduzione per ubuntu??
[19:03] <LakesProse> anyone know if there is a channel for GCaldaemon ?
[19:03] <|c0mmissar|> king so it's a permissions issue?
[19:03] <mogi22> what is a command to see my partition table
[19:04] <fliegenderfrosch> I’ve got a serious problem: Evolution seems to have downloaded some new mails but doesn’t show them. In the search folder for new mails it says 13 new mails on the left, but on the right it says that there are no mails in this folder. Can anyone help me?
[19:04] <aberratic> It, i just had to install python-dev
[19:04] <king> |c0mmissar|, No it is a 'missing feature' issue would be first guess, but I am among the most ignorant people here!
[19:04] <nonix4> tinkywonk: anything like "[   54.669606] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdf] Attached SCSI removable disk" in logs though?
[19:04] <aberratic> thanks
[19:04] <tinkywonk> it never worked from install but did work in windows before i formated and installed ubuntu
[19:04] <hckyplayer024> king: what is CL
[19:04] <tinkywonk> no nothing like that nonix4
[19:04] <king> hckyplayer024, command line. Linux without X.
[19:04] <hckyplayer024> king: okay how do i do that?

[19:05] <king> hckyplayer024, I seriously doubt whether anyone can share their TTY with external output like you want to do.
[19:05] <CCRC-error> How can I disable, for all of the reboots, the bootsplash?
[19:05] <tinkywonk> this is my dmesg after inserting and removing a few times

[19:05] <king> hckyplayer024, That is a feature of the X server (the GUI thing), so you need X to have that feature

[19:06] <It> what exactly is ubuntu paste?????
[19:06] <king> It, click to see.
[19:06] <tinkywonk> any ideas anyone
[19:06] <SlimeyPete> it's a pastebin. If you paste stuff (e.g. an error message) at that website, it'll store the paste and then you can give the URL to us so that we can read it
 I need help setting up Samba peer-to-peer with windows xp using the posting in ubuntu forum group by stormbringer
 under step 2, Changing settings in windows, with wins enabled, I get error: The drive could not be mapped because no network drive could be found.
[19:07] <nonix4> tinkywonk: so... it detects that there is a card but doesn't detect it as a disk?
[19:07] <hckyplayer024> king: when i try to connect to my network, Im sure all my settings are right, It gets stuck on validating authentication
[19:07] <|c0mmissar|> oh I"ve tried so many edits to my xorg.conf & none work. there's an Nvidia x server settings applet that installed with the driver, but it doesn't even open. gives me a segmentation fault..
[19:07] <|c0mmissar|> & my network hiccups...
[19:07] <tinkywonk> thats correct nonix4 i have tried everything on all the forums but no luck i have reinstalled twice but still same thing
[19:08] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. how to i set it to load usb once x loads
[19:08] <omnydevi> c0mm - how did you install the nvidia driver?
[19:08] <It> I understand what  http://paste.ubuntu.com/ is finally
[19:08] <It> ther you paste your code for and for sometime you find it online on a link
[19:08] <Guest16722> I'm about to buy a new laptop that comes with Vista.  I want to install Ubuntu, however I'd like to make a drive image before I install just in case I need to restore the laptop to factory state (e.g. if I need to send it back).  My first thought was to run an Ubuntu LiveCD, connect to a samba share and do something like dd piped through tar/gzip into a file - is there a more efficient way of creating a bit-for-bit drive image?
[19:08] <HacKBoX_> !b43
[19:09] <racer_> hi
[19:09] <pdtpatrick> question .. on a laptop, say you connect it to a projector.. how would you change the input so it goes to the projector? does function f8 work or does ubuntu have a different hot key for this?
[19:10] <nonix4> tinkywonk: actually that is a boot time message... don't have sd cards within sight atm to check what it should show when plugged in :/
[19:10] <It> how to print a utf-8 correct in ms command prompt with python?
[19:10] <sinbox> Guest16722, check clonezilla maybe
[19:10] <Guest16722> sinbox: Cheers - I'll take a look.
[19:10] <eseven73> Guest16722: is it from a company like Dell? if so it should come with a restore disk no?
[19:11] <tinkywonk> i have yes and when i put it in lspci says card inserted when i take it out it says card removed i have tried booting with it in but still does no mount and show me the files
[19:11] <Guest16722> eseven73: It's a Sony and I believe they all come with a hidden recovery partition.
[19:11] <It> even if i encode or decode a sdtring in python only crappy characters i see on ms-dod screen
[19:11] <tinkywonk> does not mount that was
[19:11] <nonix4> tinkywonk: Does "dmesg | grep -i removable" list some scsi device names?
[19:11] <ebaby> hello
[19:11] <eseven73> Guest16722: hmmm I guess the store brands got smart and figured out people were using the restore disks on other machines lol
[19:11] <tinkywonk> no nonix4
[19:12] <Guest16722> eseven73: Maybe.
[19:12] <nonix4> tinkywonk: and lsmod lists sd_mod as loaded?
[19:13] <zigzags> how do i unfreeze my computer if it decides to freeze up? are there keyboard shortcuts for the system monitor??
[19:13] <electroweak> eseven73: you should be able to create recovery disks out of that partition.
[19:13] <Guest16722> zigzags: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[19:13] <eseven73> right i was just curious
[19:13] <omnydevi> Guest - you could download acronis and use that, they have a clone feature. or vice versa
[19:13] <Guest16722> zigzags: Or you can fall back to a terminal (Ctrl+F1).
[19:13] <Glenn`> I installed eggdrop on my Ubuntu, it loads perfectly, but dosen't connect to IRC. (Can't see it in netstat eighter) Any ideas what's wrong?
[19:14] <omnydevi> vice versa has a free 30 day full use trial.
