[07:49] <bastid_raZor> zerodevice; in a terminal type lsb_release -a
[07:49] <terryx> segmentation fault in terminal...why?
[07:49] <kc8pxy> terryx:  doing?
[07:49] <Slart> hashbrowns: when you use the live cd, do you have an internet connection?
[07:50] <hashbrowns> Slart: Yeah.
[07:50] <Slart> hashbrowns: oh.. wait.. just thought of something.. you're not using some kind of BIOS antivirus setting?
[07:51] <hashbrowns> Slart: I dont believe I am.
[07:51] <Kartagis> so? what do I do?
[07:51] <Slart> hashbrowns: some BIOS's have an virus protection thingy that denies access to the mbr.. ie you can't change it
[07:51] <Slart> hashbrowns: ok.. could you boot the live cd and start xchat? I think it will join this channel by default
[07:52] <Slart> hashbrowns: if xchat isn't installed you can install it either using "Add/Remove programs" or in synaptic
[07:52] <didi> hi
[07:52] <hashbrowns> Slart: well I've had GRUB installed before, I had this problem a few days ago but Ubuntu would boot but windows said ntldr was corrupt or something, rendering my windows install unusable.
[07:52] <r2r>  hi using ubuntu 8.04 both lan cards ditechted but mii-tool gives nothing (error)
[07:53] <hashbrowns> Slart: one sec, gotta reboot and stuff to get the live CD going
[07:53] <r2r> also, anyone here know about lan bonding
[07:53] <Slart> hashbrowns: sure
[07:53] <Slart> !anyone | r2r
[07:54] <quinn> hashbrowns: if xchat isn't installed you can use pidgin instead
[07:55] <hashbrowns> Slart: how do i start xchat?
[07:55] <r2r> ok how to do lan bonding in ubuntu (i hope this is fine slart)
[07:55] <The_Joe_> Is there a default number of half open connections in Ubuntu? If so whar is it?
[07:55] <Slart> hashbrowns: take a look in the Applications, Internet menu
[07:55] <Igramul> hashbrowns, it should be in the applications menue (internet)
[07:55] <U-b-u-n-t-u> hashbrowns,? it should be in the applications/internet area
[07:56] <Slart> hashbrowns: or just open a terminal and run "xchat"
[07:56] <tobago> how to send message via terminal to a certain ip? doing wall 'my_message' sends the message only in a broadcast way.
[07:57] <LTL> Kartagis: right click on the volume icon, choose open volume controls, in that window choose 'preferences' enable everything then start hacking around with the mixer controls/switches.
[07:57] <r2r> tobago, on x or on cli?
[07:57] <Bunson> any one know of a way to reload the sound system from terminal?
[07:57] <r2r> !anyone | bunson
[07:57] <Bunson> ubuntu 8.10
[07:57] <jim_p> Bunson, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[07:58] <Slart> r2r: I have no idea, sorry
[07:58] <Bunson> how about for pulse?
[07:58] <LTL> tobago: install 'talk' or ytalk' on both systems
[07:58] <r2r> bunson: smae just change alsa to pulse
[07:58] <jim_p> Bunson, pulseaudio is a needless extra layer for sound management. remove it
[07:58] <Slart> r2r: you've tried to google for it, right?
[07:58] <amuro> what are the different between dell version ubuntu or the netbook remix version?
[07:58] <Bunson> k ty r2r n jim
[07:58] <amuro> or the normal version?
[07:59] <Slart> amuro: the normal version is supported here.. the others not? ;)
[07:59] <R0b0t1> For some reason compiz causes my movies to flicker, but if I "metacity --replace" inside a terminal, watch the movie, and then C-c out of metacity, I am unable to type in the terminals to restart compiz.
[07:59] <Bunson> yes its been an on going thing that i figured was worth throwing out to the room ..
[07:59] <R0b0t1> Which I used to be able to do...
[07:59] <hashbrowns> Slart: which one do i want to install from synaptic? xchat-gnome or xchat-gnome-common
[07:59] <jim_p> amuro, since i exclude the possibility of being custom compiled, i think the versions for these pcs/laptops also give you the system preconfigures in terms of drivers and modules
[08:00] <Slart> hashbrowns: you'll need both.. xchat-gnome will install xchat-gnome-common for you
[08:00] <hashbrowns> Slart: Okay one sec
[08:00] <jim_p> R0b0t1, let me guess.. are you on ati?
[08:00] <cplab2-56> can i have any material of open source security tools
[08:00] <amuro> should i get rid of the dell version and install the normal ubuntu??
[08:00] <LTL> hashbrowns: get xchat
[08:00] <jim_p> cplab2-56, like a tutorial?
[08:01] <amuro> because i can not install skype
[08:01] <R0b0t1> jim_p: Oh, lets check... How do I check? ;)
[08:01] <maco> jim_p: why is it a needless extra layer? it makes a lot of things that are very difficult to do with just plain alsa much easier
[08:01] <amuro> but i seen someone installed skype on thie netbook
[08:01] <jim_p> amuro, why cant you install skype?
[08:01] <R0b0t1> jim_p: Odds are that I am.
[08:01] <Slart> amuro: I have no idea what Dell did to their version so I can't really say
[08:01] <jim_p> R0b0t1, lspci | grep VGA
[08:01] <Slart> !skype | amuro
[08:01] <amuro> it said invalid architecture 'i386'
[08:01] <amuro> i already see that page
[08:02] <amuro> i follow their step still get error
[08:02] <jim_p> amuro, what is your "uname -r" ?
[08:02] <R0b0t1> jim_p: Check, it is infact an ATI.
[08:02] <maco> Bunson: you can do pkill pulseaudio && esd&
[08:02] <amuro> what uname -r ?
[08:02] <maco> Bunson: that'll restart pulse on 8.04 and 8.10
[08:02] <w3rd__> blast!! guess its something with my system..
[08:02] <maco> amuro: a command to put in the terminal
[08:02] <Igramul> amuro, type "uname -r" and tell us the result
[08:02] <maco> amuro: it tells information about what kernel you're running.
[08:02] <Bunson> .. ya cause the rest didnt do anythign .. ty maco i will try that next
[08:03] <amuro> 2.6.24-19-lpia
[08:03] <hashbrowns2> Slart: Okay I think I have xchat working.
[08:03] <R0b0t1> jim_p: I'd heard about the ATI thingy, but is there a quick-fix? "ignore fullscreen windows" or similar doesn't work.
[08:03] <n2diy> w3rd__, qsl?
[08:03] <node357> hi all. Ubuntu 8.10 can't get WINE to run any app, it just hangs with no error messages
[08:03] <jim_p> R0b0t1, then what you face with compiz is a common ati problem. either stop compiz when watching a video, or use the opensource radeon driver and have much less 3d acceleration than fglrx
[08:03] <R0b0t1> D;
[08:03] <jim_p> amuro, that seems like an altered kernel version of hardys kernel
[08:03] <Slart> hashbrowns: great
[08:04] <Slart> hashbrowns: try opening this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[08:04] <amuro> jim_p: so what do i do?
[08:04] <jim_p> R0b0t1, sorry i cant suggest anything else that combines video and compiz
[08:04] <NEWK> Hey, I just installed kubuntu-desktop. why don't my Compiz effect work anymore?
[08:04] <w3rd__> dern install of ubuntu... cant get it to go, no matter the utility to burn with, the drive... have all pci removed just plain mobo and a cd drive.. and keep getting disk i/o errors... even burnt a new disc on a different media... still same error...
[08:04] <NEWK> *effects
[08:04] <jim_p> amuro, do you use the hardy repos?
[08:04] <amuro> no idea
[08:04] <y0315219> what should i do if i want to change the icon of aMSN in AWN
[08:04] <n2diy> w3rd__, qsl?
[08:04] <R0b0t1> jim_p: Meh, it's OK. Thanks for the help :)
[08:04] <maco> R0b0t1: if you install the fusion-icon,  it might make switching between compiz and metacity easier
[08:05] <amuro> jim_p: no ideas
[08:05] <w3rd__> wtf is qsl?
[08:05] <jim_p> NEWK, blame kde for that and ask in #kubuntu for the solution
[08:05] <NEWK> oh, ok
[08:05] <jim_p> w3rd__, is it sql maybe?
[08:05] <maco> NEWK: maybe ask in #kubuntu?
[08:05] <NEWK> I guess i should since my ubuntu is kubntu now. :D
[08:05] <hashbrowns2> w3rd_ did compare the md5 hash of the file you downloaded with the one on the ubuntu site?
[08:05] <jim_p> amuro, please highlight me next time
[08:05] <w3rd__> yah, and i was able to install via iso on a vm earlier today
[08:06] <w3rd__> sql? what sql? the db on the disc?
[08:06] <n2diy> w3rd__, doesn't matter.
[08:06] <rohan> on (k)ubuntu 8.04 firefox 3.0.5 i am having a strange bug in wikipedia pages - the right border doesn't appear. can someone please reproduce the bug? http://bayimg.com/IaMKBAABJ here is a screenshot, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_scotia a sample page (see the Language table)
[08:06] <jim_p> amuro, cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep universe
[08:06] <w3rd__> so if i check md5 and im able to install on another system and now i burn the media to a disc and cant install it doesnt matter?
[08:06] <jim_p> w3rd__, no, ignore what i said
[08:06] <DanaG> Anyone else having issues with fglrx 8.561 giving kernel panics so bad it can't even blink caps-lock?
[08:06] <w3rd__> k
[08:06] <TyGRuS> hey guys I am trying to get ruby and rails etc. going on ubuntu
[08:07] <maco> w3rd__: do you have a broken cd drive by any chance?
[08:07] <TyGRuS> but it keeps looking at /usr/local/bin/ruby instead of /usr/bin/ruby
[08:07] <TyGRuS> there is no /usr/local/bin/gem sorry [not ruby]
[08:07] <node357> hi all. Ubuntu 8.10 can't get WINE to run any app, it just hangs with no error messages
[08:07] <y0315219> what should i do if i want to change the icon of aMSN in AWN???
[08:07] <w3rd__> maco: i changed the drive i have 2 dvd burners
[08:07] <DanaG> I've had to go back to 8.542 to get a working fglrx... but then compiz makes it hang.
[08:07] <NEWK> hey, I have a problem and I ned to speak with an op
[08:07] <jim_p> y0315219, right click it and change from properties??
[08:07] <NEWK> *need
[08:07] <Slart> y0315219: check the documentation for AWN, see where they fetch the icons from..
[08:08] <Slart> y0315219: it sounds like it might be a often asked question..
[08:08] <maco> w3rd__: are you getting squashfs errors or disk i/o?
[08:08] <hashbrowns2> Slart: okay so what do I do from here?
[08:08] <maco> NEWK: #ubuntu-ops
[08:08] <w3rd__> disk i/o
[08:08] <maco> w3rd__: how's your hard drive?
[08:08] <Slart> hashbrowns2: open a terminal and run "sudo grub"
[08:08] <w3rd__> brand new
[08:08] <amuro> jim_p: wait
[08:08] <hashbrowns2> slart: whoops, over looked your link there sorry
[08:08] <w3rd__> and i have windows server running on it
[08:08] <Slart> hashbrowns2: no worries =)
[08:08] <y0315219> yea, i changed the icon from its panel, but it didn't work
[08:09] <maco> w3rd__: have you done a SMART check on it? maybe there are bad sectors on the partition you're trying to use?
[08:09] <n2diy> maco, try !ops
[08:09] <w3rd__> dude how would i be able to run an os on it
[08:09] <jim_p> i will go shave myself, brb
[08:09] <w3rd__> if you want i will switch the freaking drive
[08:09] <w3rd__> see if it helps
[08:10] <Bunson> any advice on unclean shut downs and how to fix that so the silly scan disk thing doesnt have to run every time the comp starts up ubuntu 8.10
[08:10] <amuro> jim_p-shaving: http://pastebin.ca/1292129
[08:10] <amuro> jim_p-shaving: did u change name?
[08:10] <Slart> jim_p-shaving: shesh.. sitting here on irc, all unshaved and nasty... shame on you.. disgrace to the channel.. oops.. perhaps I should put some pants on.. ;)
[08:10] <jim_p-shaving> amuro, yea. i will go shave myself
[08:11] <jim_p-shaving> hahaahhaahhaahhahahahahhahahhahhhahha
[08:11] <y0315219> yea
[08:11] <amuro> jim_p-shaving: did u figure out my problem?
[08:11] <jim_p-shaving> amuro, do you install skype by some repo?
[08:12] <jim_p-shaving> oh let me shave
[08:12] <amuro> jim_p-shaving: i cant install skype
[08:12] <jim_p-shaving> i have to leave in 15 minutes
[08:12] <amuro> i cant find skype in synaptic
[08:12] <jim_p-shaving> amuro, HOW did you try to install it?
[08:12] <DanaG> I wonder if the 64-bit drivers are just what's broken.
[08:13] <amuro> i try to goto skype.com and download the linux version .deb still cant run
[08:13] <DanaG> I mean, I don't expect the best performance... but giving a kernel panic immediately upon trying to start Xorg?  Lovely.
[08:13] <amuro> it said invalid archtecture
[08:13] <hashbrowns2> slart: brb restarting
[08:13] <DanaG> http://pastebin.com/fc88f05f
[08:14] <jim_p-shaving> amuro, try this skype repo              deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
[08:14] <heatxsink> how do I use instruments with xcode and my iphone teathered?
[08:14] <amuro> page is off limits
[08:15] <ponykip> does anyone know offhand if the minimal cd comes with wireless_tools?
[08:15] <DanaG> At least I have a stack trace for my panic.
[08:15] <mk123> how do i change the firefox menu fonts?
[08:15] <Photoguy> How do I open .rar archives, is there a extrctor for Ubuntu?
[08:15] <ziroday> !rar | Photoguy
[08:16] <mk123> how can i redistribute free space from the CLI ?
[08:17] <Appiah> mk123: huh?
[08:17] <w3rd__> changed the disc and i still get i/o error... i think im going to change the computer now and see if i get the same error... if that is the case... i think i need diff cd media...
[08:17] <Appiah> redistribute free space from the cli?
[08:17] <mk123> Appiah: i just deleted sda1 and i want to redistribute all the free space to sda3 - in addition is it possible to make sda3 the new sda1 ?
[08:18] <Appiah> are you running som LVM ?
[08:18] <ikonia> mk123: if you have deleted /dev/sda1 your in trouble
[08:18] <yaris123456789> how do i give other users on my server permission to change folder file permissions ?
[08:18] <Appiah> some*
[08:18] <mk123> ikonia: i had another partition set up there, ubuntu is on sda3
[08:18] <ikonia> yaris123456789: they need to be the owner or the group owner with full permissions
[08:18] <node357> hi all. Ubuntu 8.10 can't get WINE to run any app, it just hangs with no error messages
[08:18] <yaris123456789> ikonia: how can i set that ?
[08:18] <mk123> Appiah: what an LVM
[08:18] <Appiah> unless you got a raid or LVM I dont see how , you could always partition it and mount it smoewhere
[08:18] <Appiah> somewhere*
[08:19] <CaneToad> something in the recent updates seems to have broken my Intel ICH5/ALC650F audio...any ideas how I can diagnose?
[08:19] <mk123> Appiah: why not?
[08:19] <Appiah> why not what mk123 ?
[08:20] <Appiah> oh wait
[08:20] <mk123> Appiah: why can't it be done
[08:20] <jim_p> done :P
[08:20] <Appiah> you can use gparted
[08:20] <mk123> Appiah: :S
[08:20] <krishnan> i have to setup a forum & discussion board for my company. Should i use PunBB or phpBB2. Which one is better?
[08:20] <mk123> Appiah: will it make sda3 into sda1?
[08:20] <Appiah> you can resize your partitions
[08:20] <mk123> Appiah: can i resize partitions from CLI?
[08:21] <Appiah> dunno if gparted got that
[08:21] <Appiah> or you can always use the gparted livecd...
[08:21] <mk123> Appiah: i'm trying to expand my knowledge of CLI tools
[08:22] <krishnan>  i have to setup a forum & discussion board for my company. Should i use PunBB or phpBB2. Which one is better?
[08:22] <Appiah> then use parted mk123
[08:22] <Appiah> gparted is the parted GUI
[08:23] <mk123> Appiah: thanks
[08:23] <jim_p> mk123, cfdisk can also do partitions
[08:23] <Appiah> jim_p: but can it resize?
[08:23] <Appiah> ;)
[08:23] <jim_p> Appiah, dunno that
[08:23] <ikonia> mk123: use a tool like "parted" to resize but don't delete files in /dev - let udev manage that
[08:23] <Appiah> It does not
[08:23] <mk123> jim_p: it cant redistribute free space though
[08:23] <ikonia> mk123: sorry that wasn't for you, that was just terrible lag
[08:24] <mk123> ikonia: how can i use udev to make sda3 the new sda1
[08:24] <hashbrowns2> Slart:  Can you post that link again. one of the steps was to restart and well I lost it lol.
[08:24] <jim_p> mk123, Appiah, sorry i did not catch up from the beginning
[08:24] <ikonia> mk123: it will do it it's self on reboot after you have used parted to resize the disk
[08:24] <mk123> how do i use parted to redistribute free space?
[08:24] <ikonia> mk123: use the application
[08:24] <krishnan> ikonia:  i have to setup a forum & discussion board for my company. Should i use PunBB or phpBB2. Which one is better?
[08:25] <ikonia> well thats nothing to do with ubuntu so not a good idea to ask here, I think both are poor, it's up to you what you use though and why you use it
[08:25] <tarelerulz> I have been trying to rip my own movie.  The hardest part has been the subtitles . Is there any program that is made for ripping subtitles off the dvd and not trying them into some text form ,but just pictures based subtitles
[08:25] <Slart> hashbrowns2: hehe.. no problem, one sec
[08:25] <Slart> hashbrowns2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[08:25] <MaximB> hi
[08:25] <ikonia> tarelerulz: acidrip and dvd::rip will do it all for you
[08:26] <Slart> hashbrowns2: did it boot alright now?
[08:26] <MaximB> why is the ubuntuforums website isn't online for the past few days ?
[08:26] <justizin> i'm installing linux-image-server into a Xen DomU which is using Dom0's kernel, and I note that lilo is a requirement.  of course, it tells me that it won't be used if it isn't installed manually, but i wonder if there is any way to keep it off.
[08:26] <ikonia> MaximB: ask in #ubuntuforums
[08:26] <Slart> MaximB: seems to work for me
[08:26] <ikonia> justizin: not if it's a requirent
[08:26] <Starnestommy> MaximB: works for mee too
[08:26] <Starnestommy> *me
[08:26] <ikonia> justizin: although to be honest I don't see why it is a requirment
[08:26] <MaximB> o shit, you right ... I did .com instead of .org
[08:26] <justizin> ikonia: eh i guess no big, and yah, i agree, quite odd..
[08:27] <hashbrowns2> Slart: No it didnt :(
[08:27] <MaximB> sorry
[08:27] <ikonia> MaximB: mind your language please
[08:27] <hashbrowns2> Slart: Same situation.
[08:27] <MaximB> k sorry
[08:27] <ikonia> justizin: I may do a little digging on that, thanks for highlighting that
[08:27] <justizin> i somehow ended up with only the option to install lilo, and not grub, in a particular run of the expert text installer from the server iso usb-ized
[08:27] <Slart> hashbrowns2: no error messages when you did the grub commands?
[08:27] <node357> come on, I need to get away from Windows :(
[08:27] <justizin> ikonia: i'd be glad to be cc-ed on a bug and help chase it down, i've always wanted to contribute.
[08:27] <hashbrowns2> Slart: nope
[08:27] <kc8pxy> how do i tell my hardy install to NOT use the ahrdware video drivers?
[08:27] <w3rd__> different computer with different hd dvd burner and all diff components.. fail.. it has to be the media...
[08:27] <ikonia> justizin: lilo is normally "forced" if your using specific raid technologies at install tinme
[08:27] <justizin> i only used LVM
[08:28] <ikonia> krishnan: for what card
[08:28] <ikonia> j	ahhh is /boot on lvm ?
[08:28] <ikonia> justizin: is /boot on lvm ?
[08:28] <Slart> hashbrowns2: very odd..
[08:28] <justizin> there are clearly some foibles in text / expert installer on latest server iso, at least when running from usb.. i had to do expert to avoid requirement of cd-rom.
[08:28] <justizin> ikonia: no way!
[08:28] <skringla> kc8pxy:  is it a nonfree driver
[08:28] <ikonia> justizin: just checking thats one situation when lilo is forced
[08:29] <justizin> yah i can hear that, i get the idea that something was triggered which shouldn't have been.
[08:29] <ikonia> justizin: that seems plausable
[08:29] <justizin> i'd be more than happy to try and repro, though i'd have to nuke my testing Dom0
[08:29] <Appiah> mk123: for all cli tools , use man to learn them
[08:29] <justizin> ikonia: it wasn't end of world, but i had a bit of pain installing grub by hand.  it would certainly be a learning or, as in my case, relearning experience, for anyone finding themselves that deep in expert installer.
[08:29] <hashbrowns2> Slart: should i try the section labeled: "Overwriting the Windows bootloader"?
[08:30] <The_Joe_> What's the package name for Transmission?
[08:30] <kc8pxy> skringla: yeah..  i tried using the non-fre driver, hoping ubuntu had found a way for it to NOT have the issues the non-free had issues in another distro.  now i need it removed.
[08:30] <ikonia> justizin: I suspect it depends on $BOOT_LOADER and it thinks you need lilo for some reason instead of grub, if your base system is installed with grub I wonder if it would think $BOOT_LLOADER is grub
[08:30] <ikonia> justizin: rather than a hard coded dependency on lilo
[08:31] <Slart> hashbrowns2: why not
[08:31] <ikonia> kc8pxy: open hardware drivers from system->administration menu and disable it
[08:31] <mk123> Appiah: thanks
[08:31] <DanaG> Argh!  Damned ASIC hang.
[08:31] <kc8pxy> ikonia:  i can't get to the gui with the driver active.
[08:31] <DanaG> ... and it only happened AFTER I manually loaded snd-hda-intel, oddly enough.
[08:31] <kc8pxy> ikonia:  it's that severe of a problem
[08:31] <tarelerulz> ikonia , I made subtitles with dvd::rip and nothing seem to read them and play with the video . The only thing I have seen that rip subtitles is something in transcoder ,but it all the tutorals turn them into picture and then orc them
[08:31] <ikonia> kc8pxy: put the line Driver "Vesa" in the /etx/X11/xorg.conf under the configured video card device
[08:32] <justizin> ikonia: in most cases of expert installer, i have lilo and grub options.  on one of 5+ runs, i only had lilo.
[08:32] <skringla> kc8pxy:  if you know the name of the driver you can use apt-get to remove it, or you can look for it in synaptic.  I would just try the hardware option unser admin
[08:32] <juro> hi, what is the best way to upgrade from 8.04 to the current Ubuntu? fresh install?
[08:32] <skringla> juro: no
[08:32] <justizin> the next install i chose afaik relatively same options, including using the same LVM VG, but i had grub option
[08:32] <ikonia> justizin: seomthing appears to have been falsely triggered as you suggest
[08:32] <justizin> for all i know it's my flaky usb key ;d
[08:32] <justizin> but yah, i'm happy to help test
[08:32] <kc8pxy> ikonia:  vesa play ugly with this card too :-( my first fix also.
[08:32] <juro> skringla, ?
[08:33] <justizin> maybe i can try installing from one usb key to another, to avoid fscking my 150GB Xen / LVM setup which is currently humming. :)
[08:33] <skringla> juro:  if you go into sftwar souces you can change an option to let the updater do it
[08:33] <kc8pxy> skringla: it's the fglrx driver,,  what's the package name?
[08:33] <skringla> ?
[08:33] <ikonia> kc8pxy: yes but you use that driver to get the menyu back to disable the drivers you don't want
[08:33] <cplab2-58> hiiii how to check graphic in bult support for mother bord
[08:33] <ikonia> kc8pxy: I'm not telling you to use vesa as a solution, just to get the desktop back so you can access the drivers manager
[08:34] <ikonia> cplab2-58: read the manual of the board you bought
[08:34] <ikonia> cplab2-58: search the web
[08:34] <cubexde> hey if someone can help me with a new 8.10 installation issue PM me
[08:34] <LTL> cplab2-58: your back
[08:34] <juro> skringla, in your experience, does it work? (seeing that I could also update Windows Millenium to XP .....)
[08:34] <ikonia> cubexde: just ask the question
[08:34] <kc8pxy> ikonia: fglrx gives me a screen that looks blank(washed in white), and vesa gives me a screen that looks like scrambled eggs.
[08:34] <cyber1> wsup yall
[08:34] <ikonia> kc8pxy: ahhh it's an ati card
[08:34] <skringla> yes, but I ended up going back to 8.04 and the only way to do that is a fresh install
[08:35] <cplab2-58> hey i dont have the manual...moreover we are in lab...so just wanted to check for the sake of gaming compatibility
[08:35] <node357> what is the package for X11 development files?
[08:35] <ikonia> kc8pxy: this may sound harsh but ati cards a rea problem
[08:35] <skringla> juro:  blur tooth in 8.10 is alot difrent and didn't work
[08:35] <cubexde> I have only booted up successfully once. 203 updates were available so I downloaded them all. The problem is, now it just shows a command line prompt whenever I boot up.
[08:35] <cubexde> It will not show the graphical login window.
[08:35] <cplab2-58> ikonia; LTL, hey i dont have the manual...moreover we are in lab...so just wanted to check my motherboard for the sake of gaming compatibility
[08:35] <ikonia> cplab2-58: the manuals are normall on the web
[08:35] <ikonia> cplab2-58: gaming compatability is not relevant in ubuntu
[08:35] <skringla> kc8pxy: i agree with ikonia, i had to reinstall the driver a couple of times before it worked right
[08:36] <kc8pxy> ikonia: I'm a 10-year linux veteran.  i may like ati sometimes because they are now a part of my favorite cpu manuf., but i agree,   their closed-source drivers suck.
[08:36] <DanaG> Hmm, I'm getting more and more hints that perhaps my audio chip is what's causing my GPU to hang, oddly enough.
[08:36] <ikonia> cplab2-58: if ubuntu can use your card, ubuntu can use your card for games
[08:36] <node357> come on somebody help please
[08:36] <cplab2-58> ikonia; we have no idea about the motherboard....just assume that we are trying to hack the systems
[08:36] <ikonia> cplab2-58: no, I won't assume that
[08:36] <ikonia> cplab2-58: talk to your teachers/lab owners
[08:36] <ikonia> node357: if you ask a question
[08:36] <VieQ> Hi all, my question would some how seem irrelevant but since I am using UbuntU I will need some help
[08:36] <cplab2-58> ikonia; hey i just want to remind you that i am the old DarkKnight
[08:36] <node357> what is the package for X11 development files?
[08:37] <rofl> x11-dev?
[08:37] <ikonia> node357: which development files ?
[08:37] <VieQ> I am looking for an ap. to watch free Internet broadcasting
[08:37] <VieQ> like sat. channels and etc
[08:37] <ikonia> cplab2-58: a 19 year old linux vetran would know how to check a video card
[08:37] <DanaG> er... maybe not.
[08:37] <skringla> Vieq: vlc
[08:37] <VieQ> any ideas?
[08:37] <cubexde> VieQ: try joost.com or hulu.com
[08:37] <node357> ikonia, I have to build wine 1.1.11 and I get: configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built
[08:37] <node357> without X support, which probably isn't what you want. You will need to install
[08:37] <node357> development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.
[08:37] <node357> Use the --without-x option if you really want this.
[08:37] <hashbrowns2> Slart: does grub make any distinction between sata drives and IDE drives? cause these examples have hdbZ whereas my fdisk -l is spitting out sdbZ
[08:37] <FloodBot3> node357: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:37] <ikonia> kc8pxy: sorry, that wasn't for you
[08:37] <ikonia> cplab2-58: sorry, that wasn't fo ryou
[08:38] <ikonia> node357: why do you need to build wine, it's in the repos
[08:38] <VieQ> thx cubexde, skringla
[08:38] <Slart> hashbrowns2: all drives are called hdX in grub.. it doesn't matter if they are sata or ide
[08:38] <ikonia> node357: use the version that is packaged for you in the repo's unless you knw what you are doing
[08:38] <node357> ikonia, the people in w#winehq said I need to because 1.0.1 isn't working
[08:38] <ikonia> cplab2-58: talk to the lab owners about your hardware
[08:38]  * cubexde is still waiting to be helped
[08:38] <hashbrowns2> Slart: okay, continuing this guide.
[08:38] <Slart> hashbrowns2: you didn't use the sdX notation in the grub setup, right?
[08:38] <ikonia> cubexde: /me commands don''t help you get hlpe, they just annoy people so you normally get ignored
[08:38] <hashbrowns2> Slart: no, I used the hdX notation
[08:38] <Slart> hashbrowns2: ok, good
[08:39] <LTL> cubexde: try startx
[08:39] <node357> !x11
[08:39] <cubexde> LTL: Thanks, I will try that. BRB
[08:39] <kc8pxy> Slart: with  new enough grub, IIRC<  it even sees usb's :)
[08:39] <node357> I installed build-essential but i need X11 devel files and I can't find them
[08:39] <Slart> kc8pxy: ahh.. sweet.. didn't know that =)
[08:40] <austrolopitecus> ciao
[08:40] <austrolopitecus> !list
[08:40] <kc8pxy> Slart:  had it skew the drive identifications before, booting grub with my thumb-drive in :)
[08:40] <hashbrowns2> Slart: should i use the sdbX notation when doing the mount -t ext3 .... command?
[08:40] <node357> so basically i'm screwed and should give up or what
[08:41] <ikonia> node357: what are you trying to do ?
[08:41] <node357> ikonia, trying to run a Windows game that used to work with WINE on a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10
[08:41] <Slart> hashbrowns2: yes
[08:41] <node357> ikonia, it worked fine last time, same installer too
[08:41] <ikonia> node357: as in what is causing you the problem that makes you think you need to rebuild wine
[08:41] <infinity_> i'm looking for a program other than picasa to mange photos in linux. suggestions?
[08:41] <node357> ikonia, I already told you... people in #winehq said I needed to install the latest version
[08:41] <node357> ikonia, and I need X11 devel files to do it but I can't find them
[08:42] <ziroday> infinity_: digikam or f-spot
[08:42] <ikonia> node357: I'm asking you what the problem is with using the current version
[08:42] <skringla> infinity_:fstop
[08:42] <node357> ikonia, the Steam.exe will not start, itjust hangs in terminal with no messages
[08:42] <cubexde> Alright, I tried LTL's suggestion, with the following result: Fatal server error: no screens found. I also know for a fact that one of the updates was an nVidia driver.
[08:42] <juro> skringla, ok, thanx. I don't use bluetooth anyway ;)
[08:43] <infinity_> thanks. i mount my data share from a windows computer, and for some reason picasa gets confused
[08:43] <ikonia> node357: just reading some bug reports
[08:43] <skringla> juro: that might not be the only bug, just remimber that
[08:43] <node357> okay ikonia thank you
[08:44] <juro> skringla, of course - not that 8.04 is totally void of bugs :)
[08:44] <skringla> infinity_:  I tried picasa and wasn't very impressed, fstop works much better in my opinion
[08:44] <infinity_> oh crap digikam is for kde
[08:45] <skringla> juro:  you are right, and I might have been able to fix 8.10 if I wasn't so lazy but I like the beast I know
[08:45] <infinity_> thats 100mb of stuff to install. lol
[08:45] <juro> skringla, :) thanx for the info
[08:45] <skringla> juro: np
[08:45] <cubexde> So I think I need to remove the new nVidia driver and revert to the default one. How do I do that?
[08:46] <histo> cubexde, which one did you install and how?
[08:46] <histo> cubexde, did you just enable the restricted driver?
[08:46] <cubexde> histo: Whatever was the automatic update that was served to me.
[08:46] <histo> cubexde, How did you install your nvidia drivers?
[08:47] <cubexde> histo: I got 8.10 to start just fine at first, but after installing updates (including the nVidia driver) through the auto update program, it is telling me there are no screens found and refusing to execute "startx".
[08:48] <histo> cubexde, did you enable the restricted driver ex: click the little checkbox to enable restricted hardware?
[08:48] <ikonia> node357: so it appears there are a few bugs logged against wine 1.01 and steam, what I'd suggest you do is log this bug on launchpad.net (ubuntu bug system) and quote this page http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO Steam as an extenral source for the bug
[08:48] <cubexde> histo: No...
[08:48] <histo> cubexde, you can check in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[08:48] <cubexde> histo: No, I can't. I can't boot.
[08:48] <node357> ikonia, "This page doesn't exist yet."
[08:48] <kelvin911> hi
[08:48] <histo> cubexde, well there was no update to the nvidia driver in tehpackages you downloaded. so something else is a matter.
[08:48] <cubexde> histo: I just get a command line prompt.
[08:49] <histo> cubexde, ahh hold up once sec
[08:49] <node357> ah ikonia I have it now, thanks
[08:49] <cubexde> histo: OK, now how do I revert back to whatever I had before?
[08:49] <cubexde> histo: Or better, how do I boot without doing that?
[08:50] <node357> geez this is getting more complicated by the minute
[08:50] <histo> cubexde, trying to find the comand for you hold up.
[08:50] <node357> I need development files for like 20 things
[08:50] <histo> cubexde, did you use the gui to change your resolution maybe?
[08:50] <cubexde> histo: I appreciate it.
[08:50] <cubexde> histo: No, it auto-detected my 1280x1024.
[08:51] <magellanic> can anyone recommend a good deb building tutorial please? ones I've found don't explain the process in good detail. thanks
[08:51] <kelvin911> is jim_p still here?
[08:51] <histo> cubexde, try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:51] <cubexde> K brb
[08:51] <node357> seems like the only way to compile WINE is with Slackware or Gentoo
[08:51] <hashbrowns2> Slart:  I didnt create an independent /boot partition so can I just skip the mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/root/boot step?
[08:51] <histo> cubexde, ahh your not on the machine?
[08:52] <Slart> hashbrowns2: I believe so, yes
[08:52] <hischild> node357, why would you want to build wine yourself?
[08:52] <Guest25533> i really need some help please ...... i am running 8.04 LTS HArdy I am Having Problems getting my Ati Radeon 7000 Rv100 card too work not too mention 3d excelleration. i have read all the help pages and tried everything but cannot get it too work can someone please take the time too help me please thanks
[08:52] <cubexde> histo: No, I am on my PC right now.
[08:52] <histo> node357, not true
[08:53] <node357> histo, it says I have to install dozens of packages to compile WINE
[08:53] <tobago> is it impossible to send a message by terminal to another ip adress?
[08:53] <Guest25533> 00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
[08:53] <node357> and I have to guess the name of each package
[08:53] <histo> cubexde, ahh. Kind of makes it hard there are other things to try. You must have installed something though with video like drivers etc... where you trying to install nvidia drivers or what is the history here?
[08:53] <hischild> node357, because you have to. sudo apt-get build-dep wine ought to install those for you.
[08:53] <histo> node357, sudo aptitude build-dep wine
[08:53] <hashbrowns2> Slart: On the sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hda step, what do I need to replace /dev/hda with or do I not need to replace it?
[08:54] <histo> node357, but why you want to compile it is beyond me you can just sudo aptitude install wine
[08:54] <histo> node357, or you can add their repo to your sources.list to get a up to date version.
[08:54] <node357> histo, my app is not working in 1.01. and #winehq said install latest development version
[08:54] <cubexde> histo: I just installed all available updates without looking at them.
[08:54] <cubexde> histo: Anyway, standby for the output I got from that command:
[08:54] <node357> great, now apt won't connect to the server !!
[08:54] <stareux> ;(
[08:55] <histo> cubexde, is this a freshly installed system? or something that has been running for a while.
[08:55] <stareux> :'(
[08:55] <histo> node357, sudo aptitude update
[08:55] <node357> thanks, hischild
[08:55] <node357> histo I mean
[08:55] <Slart> hashbrowns2: /dev uses the sdX notation
[08:55] <node357> well both of you lol
[08:55] <cubexde> histo: xserver-xorg postint warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in etc/X11/xorg.inf.20081223005355
[08:55] <Slart> hashbrowns2: so /dev/sda
[08:55] <Gambit-> anyone know off hand how to tell what the dispaly bpp depth is?
[08:55] <bennysimone> ciao
[08:55] <cubexde> histo: Yes, a fresh install. First time using 8.10
[08:56] <node357> Gambit-, probably 24 bit
[08:56] <bennysimone> are you italian?
[08:56] <Guest25533>  i really need some help please ...... i am running 8.04 LTS HArdy I am Having Problems getting my Ati Radeon 7000 Rv100 card too work not too mention 3d excelleration. i have read all the help pages and tried everything but cannot get it too work can someone please take the time too help me please thanks
[08:56] <histo> cubexde, okay now try to restart X. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:56] <bennysimone> vaffanculo
[08:56] <exmachina> Machina
[08:56] <bennysimone> fak
[08:56] <cubexde> histo: Should I reset the machine first?
[08:56] <bennysimone> fac
[08:56] <skringla> guest25533:  have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
[08:56] <histo> cubexde, or do that it doesn't matter.
[08:57] <Slart> !lanugage | bennysimone:
[08:57] <cubexde> histo: Alright hang on...
[08:57] <Slart> !language | bennysimone:
[08:57] <histo> cubexde, just reboot is fine.
[08:57] <Gambit-> node357, that's not really what I was looking for; I need to figure it out concretely.
[08:57] <cubexde> histo: Looks like it is working so far :)
[08:57] <U-b-u-n-t-u> is there a way to get ubuntu to only show whats on the 1st work space only on the 1st work space without having it on the list content on every work space?
[08:57] <histo> cubexde, well the ubuntu loading screen is not X
[08:58] <histo> cubexde, did you get all the way in to where you can log in?
[08:58] <cubexde> histo: Hmm... still broken.
[08:58] <Guest25533> :skringla reinstalling the os?
[08:58] <histo> cubexde, okay didyou get an error or anything?
[08:58] <shirish> hi all, I think I am running compiz and want to disable it, I am not able to disable the same from System > Preferences
[08:58] <shirish> any other way to do the same?
[08:58] <Guest25533> yes i tried several times reinstalling 8.04
[08:58] <histo> shirish, alt+ F2 and type in metacity --replace
[08:58] <cubexde> histo: Just the same "no screens found" when I enter startx
[08:59] <histo> cubexde, why are you entering startx? is this a console based system that you installed X on yoruself?
[08:59] <hashbrowns2> Slart: rebooting, hopefully it will work this time.
[08:59] <skringla> no just the driver, go to system>administration>hardware drivers i think, then just uncheck the video driver and it will do it
[08:59] <Slart> hashbrowns: good luck
[08:59] <house> how do i get my system specs
[08:59] <cubexde> histo: No, someone else told me to type that...
[08:59] <Gambit-> Anyone else know how to determine what the current running screen bpp depth is?
[08:59] <Slart> house: lshw
[08:59] <histo> cubexde, so the system boots and goes to a terminal?
[09:00] <cubexde> histo: Yes. I just get no GUI
[09:00] <shirish> histo: tried that, no difference, still have issues
[09:00] <skringla> guest25533:  then when it is done, check the box again and it will reinstall
[09:00] <histo> cubexde, okay how did you install ubuntu?
[09:00] <cubexde> histo: From the 8.10 ISO
[09:00] <marek_> hi anybody tried to use aoe?
[09:00] <histo> cubexde, what type of nvidia card do you have?
[09:01] <Guest25533> its says no propietary drivers are in use on the system
[09:01] <Guest25533> dosent have anything in there at all
[09:01] <hashbrowns> Slart: Thanks man! It worked!  Now should I boot to ubuntu first or to my windows install?  Last time I was at this stage my windows install wouldnt boot saying ntldr is corrupt or something.
[09:01] <cubexde> histo: Not completely sure, just got this computer 2nd-hand, but I think a 6000-series GeForce. Dual-SLI in Windows but I don't know how Ubuntu will handle that aspect
[09:01] <histo> cubexde, is X maybe already running try hitting ctrl+alt+F7
[09:01] <shirish> ok anybody know how to get rid of error E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error)
[09:01] <Slart> hashbrowns: we can fix the windows boot from ubuntu
[09:01] <Slart> hashbrowns: so boot to ubuntu, from the hard drive
[09:01] <Guest25533> shirish nothing is in there at all in hardware drivers
[09:02] <skringla> guest2553: then you need to check the box for the nonfree driver
[09:02] <cubexde> histo: I just get a blinking cursor in the corner.
[09:02] <Guest25533> there isnt a box 2 check?
[09:02] <hashbrowns> Slart: so which should I start first?  The windows problem may not be present now.
[09:02] <hischild> How to reset my keyring password?
[09:02] <skringla> guest25533:, i am not sure then, did you check ubuntu forums?
[09:02] <hashbrowns> Slart: sorry didnt see the post
[09:02] <histo> cubexde, when it boots?
[09:02] <Guest25533> yes i did
[09:02] <shirish> Guest25533: ?
[09:02] <Slart> hashbrowns: how do you choose which one to boot? do you see the grub menu?
[09:03] <histo> cubexde, try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
[09:03] <shirish> Guest25533: not able to see any box.
[09:03] <Guest25533> 00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
[09:03] <cubexde> histo: It takes me to a login prompt (non-graphical) and then when I press Ctrl-Alt-F7 it clears the screen and shows a blinking cursor in the corner. Just the little _ symbol you know.
[09:03] <Guest25533> thats my video card if it helps you any
[09:03] <hashbrowns> Slart: yes. The grub menu
[09:03] <histo> cubexde, ahh hit ctrl+alt+F1 to get back
[09:03] <Slart> hashbrowns: you have a windows option there?
[09:03] <shirish> histo: know anyway what this error is about
[09:03] <histo> cubexde, then try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade  It sounds like there are bigger problems here.
[09:04] <hashbrowns> Slart: Yes
[09:04] <shirish> E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error)
[09:04] <Slart> hashbrowns: well... try both ubuntu and windows.. hopefully they will both work
[09:04] <cubexde> histo: Alright 1 sec...
[09:04] <freeRag> I cant find my root account !
[09:04] <histo> cubexde, you can try adding the nvidia drivers manually by sudo aptitude insall nvidia-glx-177
[09:04] <freeRag> virus ?
[09:04] <hashbrowns> Slart: okay well im in ubuntu atm, should i do anything before i restart and try the windows option?
[09:05] <Slart> hashbrowns: nope.. just try them both first
[09:05] <cubexde> histo: Alright I finished all but the nvidia command. Should I do that now too?
[09:05] <histo> cubexde, then reboot and see if that helps. If not since this is a fresh install I would just reinstall it. Install the updates (which don't touch the video card btw) and then reboot. Then enable the restrcited drivers.
[09:05] <Guest25533> when you edit xorg.confg is there anything u have to do to save the new settings in there before closing terminal?
[09:05] <histo> cubexde, yeah run the nvidia command
[09:05] <histo> cubexde, assuming you have an internet connection on this machine.

[09:06] <tdn> How do I get my HP LaserJet P1005 to work in Ubuntu?
[09:06] <hashbrowns> Slart:  Okay windows says " Starting up ...       NTLDR is missing   press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
[09:06] <Guest25533> i found something on it edited it and then rebooted and everything i edited was erased??
[09:06] <cubexde> histo: Yes, I have a net connection. It is doing it right now.
[09:07] <histo> cubexde, k after it installs the nvidia driver you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to restart X or you can reboot and see if that works.
[09:07] <cubexde> histo: Will do.
[09:07] <Slart> hashbrowns: hmm.. ok.. go back to ubuntu
[09:07] <histo> Guest1689, well yes you have to save the file first ofcourse. What are you using to edit it?
[09:07] <Guest25533> am i doing it right?
[09:07] <cubexde> histo: Command not found?
[09:08] <Hangwire> Hey people, i have a problem. Everytime I log in my account using XFCE, XFCE does not manage my desktop - I have to go to Settings - Desktop Preferences to tick the "Allow XFCE to manage the desktop" or else my Icons and Wallpaper don't show up. Is there anyway to make it Autostart on bootup or something? Its really bothering me.
[09:08] <histo> Guest1689, HOW are you editing the file?
[09:08] <histo> cubexde, which command?
[09:08] <hashbrowns> slart: okay I'm back in ubuntu

[09:08] <Guest25533> thats what im getting in Xorg file
[09:08] <histo> Hangwire, try in #xubuntu
[09:08] <Hangwire> histo, thanks.
[09:08] <cubexde> histo: Not sudo, the other one
[09:08] <histo> !paste > Guest25533
[09:08] <shirish> histo: all my window decorations are gone, still no go with metacity --replace
[09:09] <Slart> hashbrowns: ok.. try this.. "sudo apt-get install pastebinit; cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | pastebinit"
[09:09] <histo> cubexde, sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-177   ?
[09:09] <histo> cubexde, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:09] <cubexde> No, /etc/ini.d/gdm
[09:09] <hischild> How to reset my keyring password?
[09:09] <histo> Slart, thats a nifty app
[09:09] <Guest25533> hello
[09:09] <cubexde> histo: That wasn't recognized. The restart command string.
[09:09] <shirish> histo: ?
[09:10] <histo> Slart, That should be installed by default. Someone should put a request in.
[09:10] <Slart> hashbrowns: it installs pastebinit.. a program that lets you paste stuff on pastebin, !paste for more info, and then sends the contents of your grub config file to that program.. you'll get an url back from that command.. give us the url so we can check why windows isn't booting properly
[09:10] <cubexde> histo: When I type "sudo /etc/ini.d/gdm restart" it responds with "sudo: /etc/ini.d/gdm: command not found"
[09:10] <hashbrowns> slart: okay i did that now what
[09:10] <histo> cubexde, wth is this a Ubuntu desktop Cd you used?  try dpkg -l | grep gdm
[09:10] <Slart> histo: agreed
[09:10] <Slart> hashbrowns: you got an url?
[09:10] <histo> cubexde, its init.d  not ini.d
[09:11] <cubexde> histo: Ah then you typo-d ;)
[09:11] <five> i cant get sound working for windows xp in virtualbox
[09:11] <cubexde> histo: Working now...

[09:11] <histo> cubexde, and ?
[09:11] <tdn> I have just bought an HP LaserJet P1005. When I connect it and power it on, Ubuntu recognizes the printer and says it is ready to print. But when I print a test page, nothing happens on the printer. I use "HP LaserJet P1005 Foomatic/foo2xqx". I hope you can help me get this printer working.
[09:11] <quatar-it> hi all. is there anyone of you or an exclusive channel which can help me with my webcam setup? I'll explain: it's a philips one, and it should use pwc drivers, or so I understood googling. Yesterday I tried to install modules, but i had problems doin "make" (i have no more the logs). I did not know what i was doing, i only did copy-and-paste from a forum page. But I think i have removed the only pwc*.ko file i had in /
[09:12] <cubexde> histo: Still dumping me at the same command line.
[09:12] <histo> cubexde, sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
[09:12] <shirish> guys is there way to do a clean slate of metacity, no compiz or anything?
[09:13] <histo> cubexde, and give me the url that it outputs
[09:13] <cubexde> histo: Alright standby
[09:13] <histo> shirish, I told you hit alt+f2 and tyep in metacity --replace   that will run metacity
[09:13] <Slart> hashbrowns: ok.. can you confirm that the windows system is on /dev/sda1 ?
[09:13] <histo> shirish, you can also use System > Preferences > Appeareance
[09:13] <five> is there anyone here that can unban me from offtopic?
[09:13] <Slart> hashbrowns: you can check in gparted for example
[09:14] <Slart> five: I think there's a channel called #ubuntu-ops
[09:14] <shirish> histo: did that, metacity --replace, still no window decorations
[09:14] <five> slart yeah i forgot joining thnx
[09:14] <histo> shirish, did you have window decorations before?
[09:14] <histo> shirish, and why can't you use preferences?
[09:14] <hashbrowns> Slart: how do I check that?
[09:15] <hashbrowns> Slart: Sorry I know so little about this stuff.
[09:15] <Slart> hashbrowns: start gparted (system, administration, partition editor or run gparted from a terminal) then look through your hard drives for the ntfs-partition with windows on it
[09:15] <Slart> hashbrowns: no worries.. we've all been there
[09:16] <cubexde> histo: Still working...
[09:16] <histo> cubexde, whats it doing installing pastebinit still?
[09:17] <quatar-it> won't get an answer, uh? ... thaks anyway, i'll ask again in a few hours
[09:17] <hashbrowns> Slart: well no partition editor under administration, in terminal do i just type "gparted"?
[09:17] <quatar-it> sigh!
[09:17] <Slart> hashbrowns: yes.. perhaps it's not installed by default.. can't really remember
[09:17] <cubexde> histo: No I rebooted. http://pastebin.com/f174af9ee
[09:17] <hashbrowns> Slart: yeah its not, should i just go ahead and install it?
[09:18] <mk123> can someone tell me how to turn sda3 into sda1 ? I no longer have sda1 and re-allocated its space to sda3
[09:18] <Slart> hashbrowns: yes
[09:18] <Slart> hashbrowns: it shouldn't take long to install and it's a good tool to have
[09:18] <histo> cubexde, okay its trying to use the default driver and its not finding a video card in this machine.
[09:18] <histo> cubexde, did you install the nvidia driver?
[09:19] <cattle-rancher> mk
[09:19] <tdn> I have just bought an HP LaserJet P1005. When I connect it and power it on, Ubuntu recognizes the printer and says it is ready to print. But when I print a test page, nothing happens on the printer. I use "HP LaserJet P1005 Foomatic/foo2xqx". I hope you can help me get this printer working.
[09:19] <cattle-rancher> cfdisk
[09:19] <cattle-rancher> delete sda3
[09:19] <cubexde> histo: I did when you told me to.
[09:19] <cattle-rancher> and then create sda1
[09:19] <histo> cubexde, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit
[09:19] <hashbrowns> Slart:  I believe my windows install is on /dev/sdb1
[09:20] <cubexde> histo: I would just reinstall, but I'm afraid it will do the same thing again.
[09:20] <cubexde> histo: Alright standby
[09:20] <n2diy> toh, can you print a test pge with out your computer?
[09:20] <histo> cubexde, also can you see what the output of lsmod | grep nvidia is
[09:20] <ikonia> !give ikonia a test
[09:20] <cubexde> histo: http://pastebin.com/f630f9968
[09:21] <Slart> hashbrowns: hmm.. then grub is right.. I wonder if it's some kind of 64-bit windows quirk
[09:21] <Andreatop> ciao
[09:21] <Andreatop> c'è nessuno?
[09:21] <histo> cubexde, whats the output of "lsmod | grep nvidia"   no qoutes ofcourse.
[09:21] <cubexde> histo: What output do you want? It dropped a bunch of info.
[09:21] <n2diy> ! it
[09:22] <cubexde> histo: 1 sec I will type it all in:
[09:22] <Andreatop> thx for italian information
[09:22] <histo> cubexde, did it list an entry with nvidia on the left?
[09:22] <n2diy> Anderst, nada
[09:23] <alfatau> hello, is there a scriptable way to test if a device is connected and working on ttyS1? i've a serial 56k modem and i should detect if it's turned on or off. thank you
[09:24] <cubexde> nvidia     6900560 0
[09:24] <cubexde> agpgart      42184 1 nvidia
[09:24] <histo> cubexde, alright now we just need to get X to see it.
[09:24] <cubexde> i2c_core     31892 3 nvidia,i2c_nforce2
[09:24] <cubexde> histo: k...
[09:24] <n2diy> alfatau, setserial would be your friend for that
[09:24] <histo> cubexde, lspci | grep VGA
[09:24] <hashbrowns> Slart: so what now?
[09:24] <histo> cubexde, that will show what type of card you have what is it saying for that?
[09:25] <cubexde> histo: No output.
[09:25] <cubexde> histo: Wait...
[09:25] <cubexde> histo: Ok 1 sec it's a lot
[09:25] <tarelerulz>  What is program for ripping subtitles off the dvd ?  Not vob ripped onto you hard or not some format like srt .
[09:25] <histo> cubexde, not just look for the model of nvidia card like nvidia Geforce blah.....
[09:25] <Slart> hashbrowns: I'm googling.. there seems to be other that are having the same problem with 64bit windows and dualbooting
[09:26] <alfatau> n2diy: ok, i'm taking a look to that
[09:26] <hashbrowns> Slart: K. I hope there is a solution :S  BRB one sec.
[09:26] <cubexde> histo: GeForce 6600 LE (two of them)
[09:26] <tarelerulz> //   /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:27] <histo> cubexde, before when you ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" did it ask you some questions?
[09:28] <cubexde> histo: No... it just made me log in.
[09:28] <histo> cubexde, also what is the result of "glxinfo | grep rendering"   Should be Yes
[09:28] <quatar-it> someone who have fun talking about modules for webcams, please ping me when confortably sitted!
[09:28] <cubexde> histo: Error: unable to open display
[09:29] <histo> cubexde, hrm... let me check something hold up.
[09:30] <c0nfl|ct>  bom dia
[09:30] <histo> cubexde, something is weird here that card is supported by the drivers we installed which are loaded. But X doesn't see them or the card.
[09:31] <cubexde> histo: I have two cards, could it be that it wants me to plug into the other one?
[09:31] <histo> cubexde, you could try and reboto but X isn't seeing either of them.
[09:32] <histo> cubexde, i'm reading some stuff now. THis maybe a known problem.
[09:34] <gmathews> Good day all
[09:34] <gmathews> How can i check how much data I have sent/received on my wired connection?
[09:34] <cubexde> histo: So how come it worked right after install?
[09:34] <hashbrowns> Slart: back
[09:34] <mrbig4545> ive just upgraded to intrepid, and virtualbox is acting up. Im using host interface networking with a bridge, and i cant ping the virtual machine! however the vm can ping google and that
[09:34] <gmathews> because the screenlets thing does not indicate true values
[09:34] <mrbig4545> just not the real comp, any ideas?
[09:35] <histo> cubexde, no idea. Thats why i'm saying swithcing the card you are using shouldn't fix it.
[09:35] <histo> cubexde, unless there is aproblem with the new kernel. Try rebooting and when you see the grub screen hit esc to get a menu.  Select the older kernel and try booting that.
[09:36] <Guest25533> Ati Radeon 7000/VE help anyone
[09:36] <mrbig4545> infact its just the local machine i cant ping, either ping from host to vm, or from vm to host
[09:36] <mrbig4545> im guesssing something has changed...
[09:36] <cubexde> histo: Already tried that./
[09:36] <mrbig4545> brb
[09:37] <histo> cubexde, and that didn't work?
[09:37] <cubexde> histo: If it worked, I wouldn't be bugging you ;)
[09:37] <histo> cubexde, did you install or do anything else other than update?
[09:37] <cubexde> histo: Nope, nothing whatsoever.
[09:38] <phnom> gmathews, You can check it with top in terminal
[09:38] <suji> HAI SARANYA
[09:38] <phnom> gmathews, or you can install htop to get it in a fancier format
[09:38] <gmathews> top only shows memory though right?
[09:38] <gmathews> i mean RAM usage/Processor usage
[09:38] <saranya> hai, are u got how to creat the font LEGATURE
[09:38] <phnom> gmathews, oh, lol... early morning here sorry >_>
[09:39] <hashbrowns> Slart: any luck?
[09:39] <bullgard4> Wikipedia characterizes the directory /usr/local as a "Tertiary hierarchy for local data, specific to this host." What is meant here by 'tertiary hierarchy'?
[09:39] <suji> no da
[09:39] <gmathews> hahha no sorries phnom :)
[09:39] <histo> cubexde, hrm.. lets try specifying the card to X.  Try dmesg | grep nvidia
[09:39] <cubexde> histo: When I installed, I was using DaemonTOOLS to mount the ISO and did the "Install inside Windows" option. I don't have a CD burner and my discs I ordered won't show up for a few weeks.
[09:39] <saranya> u please open already font created like hiran
[09:39] <gmathews> i mean worries lol phnom
[09:39] <suji> i don't knw how to create ligature in fontforge any one know
[09:40] <histo> cubexde, we needthe bus id for your card the ##:#:#
[09:40] <cubexde> histo: Give me a second
[09:41] <Slart> hashbrowns: nope.. nothing good so far
[09:42] <wet>  are their anybody who tried running PvPGN server on ubuntu hardy?
[09:42] <hashbrowns> Slart: k. do you think we will be able to resolve this issue?
[09:44] <phnom> gmathews, you could try install ntop
[09:44] <gmathews> Ubuntu 9.04 = Jaunty Jackalope
[09:44] <Slart> hashbrowns: I don't know of any easy fixes at this point..
[09:44] <gmathews> phnom: going to try it
[09:44] <Slart> hashbrowns: according to all I know it should work now..
[09:45] <hashbrowns> slart: hmm...
[09:45] <cubexde> histo: OK, what do we need?
[09:46] <histo> cubexde, the numbers in dmesg | grep nvidia   should be like ##:##:## for each card
[09:46] <cubexde> histo: There are two cards: 0000:01:00.0 and 0000:02:00.0
[09:46] <marek_> hi how can i change permissions, to allow normal user, not superuser to mount the devices?
[09:46] <marek_> like mount /media/domowy ?
[09:47] <histo> cubexde, okay now we need to edit the xorg.conf to look like this http://pastebin.com/m2ae1290e I just changed the device section
[09:48] <gmathews> phnom: How do u use ntop - i see u can use your web browser - but how exactly?
[09:48] <cubexde> histo: And I do that how?
[09:48] <ushimitsudoki> bullgard4: The primary is /. The secondary hierarchy is /usr. The tertiary is /usr/local. Tertiary is just a fancy way of saying "3rd". The "hierarchy" part just indicates there are sub-branches below that directory.
[09:48] <histo> cubexde, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   make the necessary changes to the device section and ctrl+w to save and ctrl+x to exit
[09:49] <phnom> gmathews, found this tutorialthing: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-install-ntop-network-traffic-monitoring-software/
[09:49] <gmathews> Going there now phnom :)
[09:49] <jose> alguien abla español ?
[09:50] <histo> cubexde, I also changed line 35 there too.
[09:50] <hosstell> has anyone ever booted from an ISO in Grub, or know if it is possible?
[09:50] <phnom> gmathews, :)
[09:50] <bullgard4> ushimitsudoki: Thank you for explaining.
[09:51] <ushimitsudoki> bullgard4: quite welcome. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html is the "real" reference if you want to read it (I think it is easier to read than the wikipedia article actually)
[09:51] <cubexde> histo: How do I save? Ctrl-W is find
[09:52] <Flannel> cubexde: ctrl-o
[09:52] <histo> cubexde, sry ctrl+o its down at the bottom of the screen
[09:52] <histo> cubexde, all the shortcuts that is.
[09:52] <alfatau> n2diy: about setserial, i tried -a option, but the output is the same both with modem off/on and for a ttySX with nothing connected... is there a way to get some better info with setserial?
[09:52] <cubexde> histo: OK, now what?
[09:52] <histo> cubexde, restart X
[09:52] <histo> cubexde, or reboot
[09:53] <cubexde> histo: Rebooting...
[09:53] <SpinachHead> something strange, if I remove emacs with apt and synaptic -- emacs still can be invoked.  I tried to remove and reinstall to reset the keybindings but emacs never removes..... any ideas?
[09:53] <Slart> hashbrowns: nope.. can't really find anything useful about this.. sorry
[09:53] <histo> cubexde, if your scren goes blank you may need to plug in to the other card which is bus id 2:0:0.  or you could chang ehte value in xorg.conf and restart I guess.
[09:54] <hashbrowns> slart: do you know anyone that has better expertise than you in this area that may be able to help?
[09:54] <bullgard4> ushimitsudoki: Excellent! (I am always interested in primary source material.)  --  Thank you again.
[09:54] <Flannel> SpinachHead: "emacs" is a metapackage.  You'd have to remove emacs22 (or a similar package).  However, your personal keybindings are stored in your home folder.  So just remove those, you don't need to reinstall (nor will it help)
[09:54] <cubexde> histo: Alright
[09:54] <cubexde> histo: It worked!
[09:55] <cubexde> histo: I have a login screen at last :D
[09:55] <histo> cubexde, okay X is getting confused about he SLI then
[09:55] <cubexde> histo: Does this mean I shouldn't install any nVidia stuff or updates or anything now?
[09:55] <Slart> hashbrowns: ask the channel.. there are plenty of wise people out there
[09:55] <histo> cubexde, you can install all the updates you want but you have current nvidia drivers now. The only thing left to make sure is that SLI is working.
[09:55] <SpinachHead> in the .emacs file?
[09:56] <histo> cubexde, I would sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings    So that you can see and configure your cards
[09:56] <Flannel> SpinachHead: Probably an ~/.emacs folder, but yeah, something like that (I don't know where emacs keeps its stuff)
[09:56] <gmathews> phnom: thanks man - it seems a bit tedious to see speeds but the ntop is pretty cool for running a server :)
[09:56] <SpinachHead> okay, thanks I forgot
[09:56] <joejc> is there a program that lets me use the itunes store without wine?
[09:56] <histo> cubexde, it will then be under System > Administration > Nvidia Settings
[09:56] <dr_willis> !itunes
[09:56] <Enselic> Hi, my computer A has a wireless connection. I have a laptop B by my side without a working wireless card so I would like to act as a router and let laptop B connect to the internet through me. Any pointers/keywords?
[09:57] <joejc> i hate itunes i just want the store
[09:57] <hashbrowns> Slart: Okay.  Thanks for all the help man. I appreciate you sticking around for a few hours.
[09:57] <dr_willis> !ics | Enselic
[09:58] <cubexde> histo: Alright thanks so much for your help :)
[09:58] <hashbrowns> I can't boot to windows xp pro x64 after installing ubuntu 8.10 64-bit version.  After grub starts to load my windows installation, my windows installation says "NTLDR is missing" and I have not choice to but to restart my computer.
[09:58] <saranya> i need some basic shortcut using terminals
[09:58] <Enselic> dr_willis: thanks
[09:59] <histo> cubexde, no problem.  That was a weird one sry it took me so long to figure out. Hard when you aren't sitting in front of the box.
[09:59] <gmathews> I want to make my ubuntu look wicked - been to gnome-look.org but Im looking for more - any pointers?
[10:00] <dr_willis> gmathews,  be more specific? :)
[10:00] <mrbig4545> gmathews: kde
[10:00] <saranya> வணக்கம்
[10:00] <histo> gmathews, are you running 3d effects and stuff?
[10:00] <joejc> does sharpmusique still exist?
[10:00] <dr_willis> one mans wicked - is another mans eyesore
[10:00] <slacker_nl> hello
[10:00] <histo> gmathews, also check out the forums there is an entire section dedicated to eye candy
[10:00] <gmathews> yea guess so - i cant seem to get this animations add-on to work...I got compiz working with the cylinder deformation - someone told me that planes fly across your screen but I dont know how to do that lol.
[10:01] <slacker_nl> how can i find out which packages are dependend on a particular package?
[10:01] <histo> gmathews,  http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=330
[10:01] <hashbrowns> I can't boot to windows xp pro x64 after installing ubuntu 8.10 64-bit version.  After grub starts to load my windows installation, my windows installation says "NTLDR is missing" and I have not choice to but to restart my computer.
[10:02] <dr_willis> hashbrowns,  ntldr is a windows boot file.  You sure you dident accidently format your windows installs?  You coudl try booting a windows rescue/boot/install cd and use the fixboot command.
[10:02] <gmathews> I have the animated add-on enabled in compiz settings manager but why doesnt anything happen :(
[10:02] <lw0x15> yo whats the command to find out mount points
[10:02] <dr_willis> lw0x15,  'mount' :)
[10:03] <lw0x15> dr_willis: what about which hdd's are where cause i got scsi and sata
[10:03] <dr_willis> lw0x15,  'sudo fdisk -l'
[10:03] <histo> gmathews, you need to check out the link i posted
[10:03] <hashbrowns> dr_willis: will that touch my data on my windows partition?  I'm pretty sure I didn't format my windows partition, just resized it.
[10:04] <dr_willis> hashbrowns,  booting windows install cd. and running its rescue/fixmbr or fixboot commands will  copy/write the proper files to the windows partition.
[10:04] <lw0x15> dr_willis: ah alrite thanks i used fdisk -l without sudo ;|
[10:04] <dr_willis> hashbrowns,  fixboot / fixmbr may or  may not make linux unbootabe then - due to grub being removed
[10:04] <lw0x15> thats why it didnt work
[10:05] <gmathews> histo: that page answers the themes question I had but not the animated plane effects one :( Thanks though.
[10:06] <histo> gmathews, i've never seen animated planes but maybe you need to check out the compiz page to see if their are any new plugins they are working on.
[10:06] <dr_willis> Theres that FOlding airplane effect - In compiz
[10:06] <gmathews> yes dr_willis thats the one!
[10:06] <dr_willis> gmathews,  so what about it?
[10:07] <gmathews> It doesnt work for some weird reason
[10:07] <gmathews> i have it enabled
[10:07] <dr_willis> No idea.. I find it useless :)
[10:07] <gmathews> hahah but I wanna see what it does :)
[10:07] <dr_willis> twiddle with the settings  - it just folds up the window to a airplane and then flies off the screen.
[10:08] <cubexde> histo: Yeah thanks again :)
[10:08] <gmathews> oh well thanks for your time though guys
[10:08] <histo> gmathews, there is an animations add on I see
[10:08] <histo> cubexde, np
[10:08] <cubexde> exit
[10:08] <hashbrowns> dr_willis: then I'd be in a rather bad scenario because this NTLDR missing problem arose from a fresh install of GRUB.
[10:08] <gmathews> histo: is your plane folding?
[10:08] <histo> gmathews, like you can have your windows turn in to airplanes and fly away if you minimize
[10:09] <gmathews> my windows dont do that when I minimize ...did u just enable it histo ?
[10:09] <dr_willis> hashbrowns,  i dont see how grub installing would remove a FILE from the windows drive..    grub instlls to the MBR of the disk.
[10:09] <histo> gmathews, I'm looking threw settings right now hold up
[10:09] <dr_willis> hashbrowns,  last i saw ntldr missing was hd curruption on windows.
[10:09] <histo> gmathews, I see something about planes and their paths etc...
[10:09] <gmathews> sweetlings histo :)
[10:10] <histo> gmathews, I'm assuming you have compiz settings manager installed right?
[10:10] <hashbrowns> dr_willis: okay well I'll give it a go.  Hopefully it doesn't make ubuntu unbootable.
[10:10] <quatar-it> hi all. is there anyone of you or an exclusive channel which can help me with my webcam setup? I'll explain: it's a philips one, and it should use pwc drivers, or so I understood googling. Yesterday I tried to install modules, but i had problems doin "make" (i have no more the logs). I did not know what i was doing, i only did copy-and-paste from a forum page. But I think i have removed the only pwc*.ko file i had i
[10:10] <gmathews> histo : yes i do
[10:10] <dr_willis> hashbrowns,  if you overwrite the MBR it will remove grub.. You will need to restore the grub boot loader some how.
[10:10] <sara-> hi anyone know how to install second life a third party software package?
[10:10] <sara-> what syntax to use?
[10:10] <gmathews> I also enabled the animated add-ons in the effects section of the manager itself
[10:11] <dr_willis> hashbrowns,   I forget what the exact commands are for Vista, vs XP to fix all this.. one fixes the boot files.. another does the MBR
[10:11] <dr_willis> sara-,  second life May be at the  medibuntu repos..  check there yet
[10:11] <vladtsepesh1984> anyone can help me configuring netbeans on ubuntu???
[10:11] <dr_willis> !secondlife
[10:11] <dr_willis> !medibuntu
[10:12] <sara-> .
[10:12] <gmathews> hashbrowns: use fixboot rather then use fixmbr
[10:12] <histo> gmathews, I'm not sure how to enable this you might want to see if there are any compiz buffs or try in a compiz channel
[10:12] <vladtsepesh1984> when i start a new web project it says to me that i have to select catilina directory but i cant find it....
[10:12] <histo> gmathews, like #compiz
[10:12] <gmathews> histo: u enabled it as well right and nothing happened?
[10:12] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> fixmbr doesnt usually do much good.
[10:12] <sara-> dr_willis, nope
[10:12] <gmathews> ppl are all asleep on #compiz hahaha
[10:12] <gmathews> j #compiz
[10:12] <gmathews> whoops
[10:13] <histo> gmathews, ahh i see you enable it then you need to go to the animations window and enable them
[10:13] <gmathews> which animations window?
[10:13] <dr_willis> sara-,  bummer.. used to be at some site.. may been an earlier release.. Googling suggests the get-deb site has packages for it
[10:13] <narcarsiss> I have a bug to report
[10:13] <narcarsiss> apt-get install deluge-torrent also installs deluge-torrent-common rite but when you download .deb file off official website and try to install it. it conflicts with deluge-torrent-common and wont install and wont uninstall deluge-torrent-common automaticl
[10:14] <dr_willis> narcarsiss,  what 'official' web site?
[10:14] <sara-> dr_willis, i have the file
[10:14] <sara-> its just installing it
[10:14] <gmathews> histo: which animations window :)
[10:14] <dr_willis> sara-,   that wasent exactly what you asked then.. :) whats the file name?
[10:14] <histo> gmathews, Yeah your window folds in to airplane then flys to the task bar
[10:15] <_Nike_2> hello
[10:15] <narcarsiss> deluge official website
[10:15] <gmathews> histo what is the second step that you did after enabling the animated add-ons under effects?
[10:15] <histo> gmathews, you need to enable the animations add-ons  Then click on the animations and under the minimize tab add a new animation.
[10:15] <gmathews> shweet
[10:15] <histo> gmathews, did you find it?
[10:15] <starcannon> Hello everyone, can anyone direct me to a python 2.6.1 package for ubuntu?
[10:15] <_Nike_2> I installed ubuntu, I want know how install linuxthreads to install mysql
[10:15] <gmathews> checking now histo one sec :)
[10:15] <narcarsiss> the deluge package from the repos breakes the install of the downloaded 1.0.7 version
[10:15] <shahrooz> hi huys
[10:15] <_Nike_2> anyone know ?
[10:16] <shahrooz> i have a problem with wget
[10:16] <rww> narcarsiss: that isn't a bug. it's the predictable result of using incompatible packages. Either install deluge-torrent from the Ubuntu repositories or install deluge-torrent from the website. Not both.
[10:16] <dr_willis> narcarsiss,  its normally a bad idea to mix and match debs that way.  So its not really a 'bug'  in the ubuntu packages.   If you wan tto use  non-ubuntu packages.. then i would suggest manyually removing the  ubuntu ones
[10:16] <histo> gmathews, under effects is also "animations"   thats what controls them.. The "Animations Add-on"  just provides more of them under "animations" and more control.
[10:16] <shahrooz> i get 404error (not found) in wget but the file there is ! i'm sute
[10:16] <narcarsiss> i was trying to update it was getting a pop up
[10:16] <shahrooz> sure
[10:16] <_Nike_2> ?
[10:17] <shahrooz> look at this : wget http://www.futureworldco.com/my_python_works/game.py.tar.gz
[10:17] <_Nike_2> anyone know how get linuxthreads to ubuntu ?? I need to install mysql
[10:17] <shahrooz> link is working but wget can not download it
[10:17] <histo> gmathews, make sure you hafe a window type set
[10:17] <shahrooz> and i don't use any proxy
[10:17] <gmathews> \WOW!!!!!!!
[10:17] <narcarsiss> i removed them manually after i worked out why it would not install.... but i thort the ubuntu packages and the official website ones would be the same since i downloaded the one under ubuntu ibex
[10:17] <gmathews> histo : u a legend :) :)
[10:18] <_Nike_2> histo you know ?
[10:18] <_Nike_2> anyone ?

[10:23] <nubuntu_> Hello i need some help with mounting a drive from livecd then when i try to access it I get a permission prohibated
[10:23] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> shahrooz, Cant you use a browser to get it then? or using a shell?
[10:24] <_Nike_2> erusul thanks
[10:24] <shahrooz> CoUrPsE|DeAd: i can but i want use wget !
[10:24] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> nubuntu, sudo mount /dev/* /media/*
[10:24] <sara-> anyone using chorme cant type reboot cus it reboo.... oops i just rebooted
[10:24] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> shahrooz, Well it obviously aint working, so why not just use your browser this time....
[10:24] <gmathews> shahrooz: I have no clue why you would want to use wget...do u want to test wget or do u have a secret fetish for wget and that link?
[10:24] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Seems like your moaning about something that can be easily worked around.
[10:25] <nubuntu_> CoUrPsE i did but when i click on folder for drive doesnt allow me to access
[10:25] <shahrooz> gmathews: CoUrPsE|DeAd  look =>http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2007-July/014785.html there is a similar problem like mine
[10:25] <shahrooz> i want have a code to run my game
[10:25] <dr_willis> sara-,  no extension? could be its just a self instlkling executable..  sh ./whateveritscalled
[10:26] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> nubuntu, can you cd to it as root?
[10:26] <nubuntu_> How do i do that ive never used cd command
[10:27] <erUSUL> shahrooz: debugged it the siter rejects wget if you use a different user agent it works
[10:27] <erUSUL> shahrooz: example using opera user agent wget --user-agent="Opera/9.25 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en)" http://www.futureworldco.com/my_python_works/game.py.tar.gz
[10:27] <erUSUL> shahrooz: that works
[10:27] <quatar-it> !webcam
[10:28] <Ioneye> !VPN
 I jus attempted with cd I still get permission denied
[10:29] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> as root?
[10:30] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> oh, sorry, didnt see ya type up there.
[10:30] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> use sudo cd /media/*
[10:30] <_Nike_2> how I put the folder /home the some of /tmp because to send files to /home need permissions this is very bad =/
[10:30] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> then type your password in for user it says.
[10:30] <Jordan_U> CoUrPsE|DeAd, You can't "sudo cd"
[10:30] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> replace * with the drives u mounted.
[10:30] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Jordan_U, Cant ya?
[10:30] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> My bad.
[10:31] <Jordan_U> CoUrPsE|DeAd, cd is a shell builtin
[10:31] <dr_willis> _Nike_2,  you may want to clarify to the channel the whole problem. to explain whats going on.  as for an answer.. you could link /home to /tmp if you wanted.. but im not sure what that would fix.
[10:31] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> True, Was stoopid of moa.
[10:31] <roplan> hi all
[10:32] <nubuntu_> CoUrPsE|DeAd: used cd /dev/hda1\
[10:32] <nubuntu_> CoUrPsE|DeAd: it returned permission denied\
[10:32] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Yes.
[10:32] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> you have to mount it.
[10:32] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> do: mkdir /media/hadd1
[10:33] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> mount /dev/hda1 /mount/hdd1
[10:33] <nubuntu_> yah I already mounted
[10:33] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> erm.
[10:33] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> hda*
[10:33] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> You cant cd to the device.
[10:33] <drkop> hi ppl try to find how to fix cdebootstrap it stucks on "Configuring package cdebootstrap-helper-apt" (ubuntu 8.04 64bit)
[10:33] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> You have to cd to where you mounted it too.
[10:33] <nubuntu_> I no i cd to /media/hda1
[10:34] <ardchoille> I have an idea that I'd like to submit directly to the Ubuntu developers. How would I do that?
[10:34] <dr_willis> !brainstorm
[10:35] <ardchoille> dr_willis: from what I can tell, the ideas in brainstorm aren't even worked on, according to the "Ideas being work upon" page at brainstorm
[10:36] <dr_willis> ardchoille,  post a idea to actually look at the ideas.. :P
[10:36] <ardchoille> hahaha
[10:36] <dr_willis> I imagine they get looked at.. but last i looked there.. many were.. well.. lacking
[10:36] <ardchoille> true
[10:36] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> nubuntu_, Dunno then sorry, seems like your doing it right.
 Is there any way I can increase space allowed to be used by live cd I want to try another distro but file is to large currently
[10:38] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> nubuntu_, Dont know sorry, never tried livecd.
[10:39] <nubuntu_> ok thank you
[10:40] <tensai_> I installed ubuntu 8.10 with a 20G hard drive the other day. Got it set up, learning curve is steep (new to linux) but I'm loving it. So I went and bought a second 200G hd, plugged it in and booted. I opted for in the first install, but now I don't know where to start. Somebody just give me the next step? Maybe a good resource?
[10:41] <tensai_> opted for **LVM**
[10:41] <jimqode> tensai_, what do you want to do with your computer?
[10:42] <tensai_> hack the gibson
[10:42] <tensai_> I just want to learn
[10:42] <tensai_> about linux and specifically web servers and the like
[10:42] <tensai_> LAMP development
[10:42] <rww> !documentation | tensai_
[10:43] <rww> tensai_: and for LAMP on Ubuntu, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:43] <sara-> dr_willis, i found a different package
[10:43] <tensai_> I'm looking for information specifically on LVM... just installed a new drive
[10:43] <sara-> its a .deb file
[10:44] <tarelerulz> I am ripping subtitles and I get text files that are what the pictures say .  I can go from picture to picture easy.  Is there text editor program that would let me go to the next text file easy ? so I could proread the text making sure it mater the pictures
[10:45] <rww> If there's anyone with ubottu write access around: !lvm points to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto , which doesn't exist. Unfortunately, a good replacement URL isn't readily apparent to me :(
[10:46] <Slart> !factoid
[10:47] <tensai_> If I set up my first drive with LVM do I have to use LVM on the second drive?
[10:47] <Slart> rww: in the usage info there's info on how to change the factoid
[10:47] <crhylove> I blew a power supply and got a new one.... but not with enough sata power cables.  I have a valid XP x64 partition, but I can't get it to boot with grub error 21.  How do I just boot that xp x64 partition?
[10:48] <hosstell> 2 Questions, 1.)  Does Ubunti have a partion recovery app, (say I dual boot an my win partion fails, can I restore an image through Ubuntu).  2.) Can Grub boot from ISOs.  I was thinking about booting to a win 98 ISO and then running ghost or something as a recovery option, is this possible?
[10:48] <rww> Slart: thanks
[10:49] <quatar-it> For all: why do i have Error of various kind when "make" pwc-10.0.12-rc1 obtained http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/pwc-10.0.12-rc1.tar.bz2 here? I have all kind of headers installed, on hardy.
[10:50] <jacobw-uk> hi there, i've got a problem with ubuntu on an acer aspire one, its not an aspire one specific problem though, every time the automatically logged on use is logged on, they are prompted for their password to unlock the keyring to provide the wireless key to network manager
[10:51] <jacobw-uk> how can i stop this happening, i.e. so the user does not have to enter their password in the process of starting up the computer
[10:51] <gmathews> hosstell: You can look for something called gparted
[10:52] <gmathews> !google gparted
[10:52] <gmathews> :[
[10:52] <hosstell> gmathews: For backing up?  Do you know if grub can boot to ISOs?
[10:52] <dr_willis> !gparted
[10:52] <gmathews> hosstell: not entirely sure... ;[
[10:53] <gmathews> thanks dr_willis
[10:53] <rww> gmathews: as far as I'm aware, gparted will solve neither of hosstell's problems. I could have overlooked something in it, i guess...
[10:53] <hosstell> gmathews: also, do you know if gparted retains bootloader info?
[10:53] <gmathews> lol i was just suggesting something mate :) im still a n00b.
[10:53] <dr_willis> jacobw-uk,  asking for the password to the keyring  is normal..    since the ireless passwords are stored in the keyring.
[10:53] <tensai_> if I've just installed a second drive and type fdisk -l  I should see the drive right? sda1,2,3 and there should be an sdb right?
[10:54] <dr_willis> jacobw-uk,  i see that Q get asked a lot.. but no idea on  a work around. I enter my password anyway . since i have a lot of OTHER passwords in the keyring then just the wireless
[10:54] <dr_willis> tensai_,  use 'sudo fdisk -l'
[10:54] <rww> quatar-it: Please paste the output/error messages to paste.ubuntu.com
[10:54] <dr_willis> tensai_,  and yes.. You should see all drives with the 'sudo fdisk -l'
[10:54] <hosstell> I am having the hardest time coming up with a solution for my friend's laptop.  He likes Windows but his CD-rom is hosed.  So I want to have a way to create a recovery partion that automatically re-images the windows partition.
[10:55] <jacobw-uk> hosstell: so you want to install a dual boot?
[10:56] <jacobw-uk> can u not boot windows with GRUB?
[10:56] <jacobw-uk> as to that specific thing, i've tried it in the past and as far as i know its not possible
[10:56] <dr_willis> You want a mini-linux install with restore software just to restore the windows partition eh?
[10:56] <hosstell> yep
[10:56] <hosstell> that is correct
[10:56] <dr_willis> Is how i REad his question. :)
[10:56] <hosstell> I am installing Ubuntu atm
[10:57] <hosstell> with XP already on it
[10:57] <hosstell> but I still need a recovery solution, and one that even HE cant mess up lol
[10:57] <dr_willis> SHould be doable..  not sure how would be the best way to do it.    Mondo/Mindi can archive/restore partions. proberly a dozen other tools to do it also.
[10:57] <d13_> minhtuyen
[10:57] <dr_willis> !backup
[10:58] <d13_> minhtuyen
[10:58] <dr_willis> You basically wan tto archive the windows partition to a file on the Linux install.. thn restore it as needed.
[10:58] <The_Joe_> Is that even possible?
[10:58] <rww> dr_willis, hosstell: Sounds like something that could be done with dd... but there are probably more user-friendly tools for it
[10:58] <hosstell> yes, OR.... fine a way to get grub to run ghost or something, I was thinking win 98 boot ISO or something
[10:58] <dr_willis> The_Joe_,  yes. should be...
[10:59] <quatar-it> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91516/
[10:59] <y0315219> how i add "show desktop" to AWN?
[10:59] <dr_willis> The_Joe_,  clonezilla live-disrto does it. :)
[10:59] <The_Joe_> dr_willis, Sounds interesting
[11:00] <hosstell> rww: what is DD?
[11:01] <y0315219> what should i do if i want to add the "show the desktop" to AWN ?
[11:02] <rww> quatar-it: looks like someone using Fedora Core had the same problem. Perhaps<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and<EMAIL_ADDRESS>will help?
[11:03] <dr_willis> !dd
[11:03] <hosstell> drunk driving is bad mkay
[11:03] <quatar-it> rww, thanks.
[11:04] <quatar-it> But, which is the file in which i have to modify config.h in .....h? , rww
[11:05] <baddj> hello i am new to linux and i want to set up a web server is ubuntu server the best to get started?
[11:08] <baddj> NickServ
[11:09] <hosstell> well, I will mess around and get back to you tomorrow on my progress with the partition to partition recovery.
[11:09] <hosstell> thanks for the input all.
[11:09] <ddphillips> Hi.  I have a small problem turning off the backlight of my X41 laptop off.  When I run "xset dpms force off", the backlight is properly turned off, but about a second later, the backlight is turned back on, and the screen is pained black... Any ideas?
[11:10] <rww> quatar-it: /home/nicola/Scrivania/pwc-10.0.12-rc1/pwc.h , I think
[11:10] <eth01> what's the most appropriate method of utilizing the ubuntu operating system with say.. a laptop? i've looked into it, and read stuff about over-heating etc
[11:10] <baddj> hello i am new to linux and i want to know if ubuntu server would be the best to start off with to learn linux for a webserver?
[11:11] <bazhang> baddj, you need a xserver with that?
[11:11] <Neaai> baddj: anything will be good in that regard. For a webserver you best start reading about apache
[11:11] <The_Joe_> baddj, Just so you know - an X Server is a graphical interface.
[11:12] <eth01> (currently using vista atm)
[11:12] <rww> eth01: depends on the laptop. If it's listed on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops , that'd be a good start.
[11:12] <jacobw-uk> baddj: ubuntu-server would be pretty much ideal
[11:12] <bazhang> baddj, keep in mind that the server only install has no gui
[11:12] <eth01> rww: it isn't.
[11:13] <baddj> Okay as i got told my a friend try ubuntu or debine or something to get started with servers. is there a lot of docs on ubuntu commands and stuff?
[11:13] <bazhang> linuxcommand.org has some baddj
[11:13] <Neaai> .. and best start without a gui so you don't get distracted from shiny things.
[11:13] <magnetron> baddj→ i would install a regular ubuntu, then add Apache and the web server packages to that
[11:13] <jacobw-uk> baddj: ubuntu wiki and help.ubuntu.com
[11:13] <bazhang> and /msg ubottu rute for more baddj
[11:14] <rww> eth01: okay. Well, if I were you, I'd probably boot it from a Live CD and see what works and what doesn't. If you're more conservative, you could try looking for information on how compatible Ubuntu and Linux are with your laptop on your favorite search engine.
[11:14] <baddj> Okay thnx guys ill look at that site bazhang
[11:15] <Neaai> baddj: do a search in google for "rute.pdf" and the file you'll get is what you need for a really well organised start.
[11:15] <baddj> okay
[11:15] <mafaldaboy> how do i get fonts that can kick OSX's butt in ubuntu?
[11:16] <bazhang> !rute
[11:16] <balkian> !cmd
[11:17] <Zelda> hello everyone. Can someone help me configure my mouse?
[11:17]  * mafaldaboy asks again: how do i get nice fonts in ubuntu
[11:18] <eth01> which fonts?
[11:18] <mafaldaboy> do not give me a tldp, etc thing guys, it does not work
[11:18] <eth01> rww: thankies x
[11:18] <mafaldaboy> i want it to look nice, antialiasing is not working nice with 8.10
[11:18] <mafaldaboy> did anyone change freetype
[11:19] <Sogen> Hi , what's name of polish ubuntu channel ?
[11:19] <bazhang> Sogen, #ubuntu-pl
[11:19] <Sogen> thx
[11:19] <baddj> whats the diff from xserver and like gnome?
[11:20] <Slart> mafaldaboy: what's wrong with the fonts? can do you do a screenshot to show us?
[11:20] <Slart> baddj: they do different things
[11:20] <bazhang> baddj, xserver means a graphical desktop; there are variations such as kde, gnome, etc
[11:20] <Slart> baddj: look at wikipedia for X and gnome.. they explain it far better than I can
[11:20] <mafaldaboy> sure Slart
[11:20] <baddj> ok
[11:20] <mafaldaboy> sec
[11:20] <leafw> I have installed a crontab job via crontab -e, but it doesn't seem to be running. I want it to run every 10 minutes, so I setup */10 * * * * <thecommand>. The crontab -e uses my $EDITOR, which is vim, and on :wq it reports "crontab: installing new crontab". The command is tested to run fine, and has all absolute paths. So what could possibly be wrong?
[11:21] <smrtgyz> UBUNTU takes some getting use to, but I really like it...
[11:21] <gmathews> How can i see how much data i received/sent on my wired connection - the same way in windows I would right lick on the 2 flashing computers in my tray and see in properties?
[11:21] <mafaldaboy> just a sec
[11:21] <Tyczek> Hi. I have wifi card dlink dwl 520+. Do you know how to install it on ubuntu?
[11:21] <rww> Zelda: What, specifically, is wrong with it? Is it not working at all, are some buttons not working, etc.?
[11:22] <Slart> leafw: hmm.. I think you covered the usual mistakes there..what about permissions?
[11:22] <smrtgyz> everyone getting UBUNTU should go to http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ even if WE look at it over and over again...
[11:22] <Slart> leafw: what is the command, btw?
[11:22] <rww> !ot > smrtgyz
[11:23] <bazhang> smrtgyz, tell the people in #ubuntu-offtopic they would like to hear
[11:23] <leafw> Slart: it's a custom python script that via feh changes my desktop bckgrund. Worked just fine in 8.04 (moved to 8.10 yesterday).
[11:23] <Zelda> yes. I have a logitech MX518. I guess it autodetected a 3 button mouse. this is a 7 button mouse. I would like the buttons on the side to "navigate" back and forward in web browsing. You know waht Im talking about?
[11:23] <rww> Zelda: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto and see if it helps
[11:24] <dr_willis> Zelda,  i recall seeing some good docs at the GENTOO wiki pages on that topic. :)i have an identcal mouse.. but i dont use the side buttons
[11:24] <leafw> Slart: it's also 2>&1 >> /home/<myusername/logcron, and nothing is logged there either. I simply think the command is just not run.
[11:24] <gmathews> can u update from 8.04 to 8.10 with the Intrepid CD?
[11:24] <Pierollo> hi
[11:24] <Slart> leafw: hmm... wasn't there a new python release recently? although that would make the script fail in a normal run too..
[11:24] <Zelda> yeah it worked before.. this 8.10 really is getting annoying.
[11:24] <leafw> Slart: the script works fine outside cron.
[11:24] <bazhang> gmathews, need the alternate cd to do that
[11:24] <Vinceman> do you have to mount a webcam for internetbroadcasting?
[11:24] <Slart> leafw: I haven't noticed any changes in crontab behaviour.. let me check if my crontab jobs run alright
[11:24] <Zelda> or the whole, Auto configure feature.
[11:25] <Pierollo> can someone suggest me a cool program to hack wpa?
[11:25] <rww> gmathews: and once you get the alternatve CD, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD
[11:25] <mafaldaboy> ok guys, i got the shot
[11:25] <mafaldaboy> uploading now
[11:25] <Slart> leafw: all my jobs run as normal
[11:25] <gmathews> thanks bazhang and rww :)
[11:25] <mafaldaboy> any image host you like ?
[11:26] <leafw> Slart: then I don't get it. Services say that cron is running ...
[11:26] <aremay> !my
[11:26] <Slart> leafw: have you tried just creating a simple crontab entry? something simple like appending time and date to a text-file?
[11:26] <leafw> Slart: aha, I added a */1 * * * * echo "ok" >> /path/to/log and it printed ok ... so it is just refusing to run my script.
[11:26] <mafaldaboy> i'll go with imagehost
[11:26] <mafaldaboy> shack*
[11:26] <mafaldaboy> argh
[11:26] <leafw> Slart: the thought came to me before you mentioned it :)
[11:27] <smrtgyz> seeking as much ubuntu operating system training traing via video, as much as my brain can handle...
[11:27] <baddj> i can not seem to find the rute.pdf any where..
[11:27] <Slart> leafw: can't you append the output from the script to a log file too? see if you get any errors?
[11:28] <bazhang> baddj, hang on a second
[11:28] <baddj> ok
[11:28] <rww> Tyczek: I think that wireless card needs the madwifi drivers. Instructions for installing them are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi#Ubuntu%20Release%20Specific%20Info
[11:28] <mafaldaboy> http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/9630/shotjv7.png
[11:28] <Slart> leafw: oh.. and it's not one of those "there has to be an empty line at the end of the file" things?
[11:28] <mafaldaboy> here
[11:28] <leafw> Slart: did that, no errors printed.  Crontab -e removes any trailing lines.
[11:28] <Neaai> baddj: http://wireless.ictp.it/school_2002/lectures/fonda/MoreLinux/RUTE.PDF
[11:28] <mafaldaboy> i put full hinting on, and nothing changed, i can get it better only if i switch resolution to 1024x768
[11:29] <Tyczek> rww, I installed it via ndiswrapper. But it won't work. And at madwifi compatiblity list there is no such card.
[11:29] <mafaldaboy> it was not like this with the previous 8.04 edition
[11:29] <Slart> mafaldaboy: hmm.. the only bad thing I see is the menu-fonts
[11:29] <mafaldaboy> Slart, that too
[11:29] <baddj> Neaai thank you
[11:29] <smrtgyz> just throwing this out there to all of you computer experts, seeking a way to communicate with UBUNTU with thought and or BRAIN waves. (Just a thought)
[11:29] <mafaldaboy> I cannot stund this squared look of the fonts
[11:29] <leafw> Slart: the confusing part is that the script runs fine, no path problems, no matter in what directory one pastes that crontab -e commad entry
[11:29] <mafaldaboy> if you have any ideas on what to fix, share
[11:29] <Slart> mafaldaboy: tried using other fonts than the standard ones? or does all fonts look bad?
[11:30] <bazhang> !enter | mafaldaboy
[11:30] <Tyczek> rww, It works via ndiswrapper. I blacklisted old kernel module.
[11:30] <Tyczek> :)
[11:30] <mafaldaboy> Slart, all fonts look a bit bad
[11:30] <rww> Tyczek: excellent :). So everything works now?
[11:31] <mafaldaboy> i am on KDE4 as you see, but I can't seem to get things better within gnome either. It is making my eyes sore.
[11:31] <Tyczek> rww, Yes. ;) Thx.
[11:31] <rww> Tyczek: ( looks like I was seeing the G520, not the 520... dunno if they're the same card. http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility/D-Link#DWL-G520 . But I guess it doesn't matter now )
[11:31] <Slart> mafaldaboy: well.. the only think I can come up with is trying other fonts and playing with the font aliasing parameters.. I haven't noticed anything on my install but I use gnome.. perhaps it's a KDE thing
[11:31] <cattle-rancher> ?
[11:31] <mafaldaboy> The only thing I have managed to dig out of google is that it could be that in 8.10 as in other distros they are having certain settings disabled in the defined freetype2 package from now on for patent issues
[11:32] <prahal_> hi Fn keys are not seen by xev but they are by gnome-keybinding-properties . What could go wrong with regards to xev ?
[11:32] <Tyczek> rww, Yea. :)
[11:32] <mafaldaboy> Slart, i am on LCD and i have set it to 96DPI with full hinting style and subpixel rendering in RGB mode
[11:32] <cattle-rancher> im still wondering what the problem is with the video?
[11:33] <smrtgyz> /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:33] <zzc> hi
[11:33] <ValentineXX> smrtgyz: :D
[11:33] <ValentineXX> zzc: welcome
[11:33] <Vinceman> do you have to mount a webcam for internetbroadcasting?
[11:34] <Vinceman> Rafik
[11:34] <Slart> mafaldaboy: here's how my desktop looks.. http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkm4.png
[11:34] <Rafik> hi Vinceman
[11:34] <mafaldaboy> sec going to look
[11:34] <zzc> ye
[11:35] <leafw> Slart: found the problem ... no DISPLAY variable. Duh -- this was a script to change the background. Thanks for the interaction.
[11:35] <cattle-rancher> ok plz rock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hFwYtB106I while i look
[11:35] <Vinceman> you just missed my question: do you have to mount a webcam for internetbroadcasting?
[11:35] <bazhang> cattle-rancher, dont paste that here
[11:35] <Melio> Vinceman:  no
[11:35] <Vinceman> why? because it seems to work on your PC itself fine
[11:35] <Melio> webcams are not storage
[11:35] <Slart> leafw: ahh.. tricky one
[11:35] <Vinceman> then why doesn't the broadcasting work?
[11:35] <leafw> Slart: indeed :)
[11:35] <mafaldaboy> Slart, still loading here, connection is slow
[11:35] <terryx> how do i handle rar files in ubuntu?
[11:35] <guest0001> how can i access fills from windows if i install ubuntu using wubi?
[11:35] <Vinceman> the image is garbled, not interlaced just screwed up
[11:35] <Melio> Vinceman: because you may not have flash enabled properly
[11:36] <Slart> !rar | terryx
[11:36] <mafaldaboy> terryx, install unrar from synaptic
[11:36] <Melio> Vinceman:  depends on where or how you broadcast it
[11:36] <cattle-rancher> no aphex twin here?
[11:36]  * cattle-rancher takes all the acid away from everyone
[11:36] <guest0001> i save all media in folder on windows desktop
[11:36] <Vinceman> flash is in the repos, no?
[11:36] <bazhang> cattle-rancher, dont paste random stuff here
[11:36] <Melio> Vinceman: it should be enabled in your browser
[11:36] <Melio> look at about:plugins in the url handler
[11:36] <Melio> er :
[11:36] <rww> guest0001: your Windows partition should be mounted in /host/, if I remember correctly.
[11:36] <Melio> : plugins
[11:36] <Melio> no space
[11:36] <FloodBot3> Melio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:36] <mafaldaboy> Slart, your settings make up for a visibly better desktop
[11:37] <mafaldaboy> Slart, can I have your settings? Perhaps I can fix this, it is the same quality with gnome here
[11:37] <cattle-rancher> so the problem is your icons are huge?
[11:37] <ikonia> !mode +b championsleague!*@*.home.otenet.gr!#ubuntu-ops
[11:37] <gmathews> Does Mark Shuttleworth come in this channel?
[11:37] <cattle-rancher> terryx look for ark
[11:38] <cattle-rancher> ark handles rar files
[11:38] <cattle-rancher> =)
[11:38] <mafaldaboy> right
[11:38] <Vinceman> Melio: where can I find the url handler?
[11:38] <GNU\colossus> I'm in need of libqt3-mt as a 32bit SO on a x86_64 install; how would I go about installing that?
[11:38] <cattle-rancher> you might have to apt-get it
[11:38] <Slart> mafaldaboy: well.. for one thing I use subpixel antialiasing but with the fill hinting.. not just "slight" as the default setting is
[11:38] <cattle-rancher> lol i was about to say qt3 barf city
[11:38]  * rebel_kid blinks
[11:38] <bazhang> !offtopic | cattle-rancher
[11:38] <mafaldaboy> ok i use full hinting as well
[11:39] <bazhang> cattle-rancher, chat elsewhere
[11:39] <Vinceman> Melio, are you still there?
[11:39] <Slart> mafaldaboy: 96 dpi for font size, I use sans, 8 for all fonts except fixed width where I use Monospace, 8
[11:39] <mafaldaboy> Slart, what font do you use for desktop? I usually use bitstream vera sans, but this time it did not work
[11:39] <cattle-rancher> ok bazhang
[11:39] <mafaldaboy> Slart, ok, will try
[11:39] <Slart> mafaldaboy: I use the "Glossy" theme
[11:40] <Slart> mafaldaboy: sans
[11:40] <Slart> mafaldaboy: I don't know if compiz does something special.. it does some shadows for windows but that's about it
[11:40] <mafaldaboy> Slart, hmmm
[11:40] <guest0001> anyone know how much space a xubuntu install will take i want to do a wubi install on dell mini 9 and keep xp too?
[11:40] <Tyrath_> hi folks
[11:41] <guest0001> i have 16gb ssd
[11:41] <mafaldaboy> I think you might have given me an idea, could it be compiz changes a bit subpixel font smoothing?
[11:41] <Slart> mafaldaboy: possible
[11:41] <Jcb-> Ping?
[11:41] <Tyrath_> is it just me or does elinks not have a print feature, or a piping feature?
[11:41] <Tyrath_> because without either it's pretty hard to print :/
[11:41] <rww> Jcb-: pong
[11:41] <ValentineXX> how to formate a usb disk in ubuntu?
[11:41] <Tyrath_> i'm forced to download
[11:42] <Tyrath_> and then pipe files to my printer using lpr
[11:42] <mafaldaboy> Slart, but you don't have these problems there. So I guess I still have some work cut out for me
[11:42] <rww> guest0001: To install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk. To install more than a base install, you'll need correspondingly more...
[11:43] <Tyrath_> !ask | Jcb-
[11:43] <Tyrath_> actually scrap that
[11:43] <Slart> mafaldaboy: well.. I hope you find out what it is
[11:43] <terryx> when i was trying to install unrar via terminal in the middle everything hangs up...can anyone tell me why?
[11:43] <mafaldaboy> me too *sighs*
[11:43] <Tyrath_> !who | Jcb-
[11:43] <Tyrath_> - that was what I meant
[11:43] <mafaldaboy> I will go brute force and reinstall the thing
[11:44] <Tyrath_> !elinks
[11:44] <Jokke`> Hello! i am transfering data from hard drive to USB hard drive but the transfer speed is only 80kt/s :S
[11:44] <Tyrath_> grrr!
[11:44] <ardchoille> !info elinks
[11:44] <Jokke`> where is the problem ??
[11:44] <Melio> Jokke`: usb is slow
[11:44] <Melio> that's the problem
[11:44] <Tyrath_> ardchoille: thanks but that's not what I'm after
[11:44] <pablo> i think i ruined a package called imspector, by doing a rm -rf /var/log/imspector, i mkdir again with same permissions, but i can not log anymore
[11:44] <Jcb-> Here's my issue, fios is down so I can not download k3b or anything else for that matter. I have a video though that needs burned with brasero however everytime I goto burn it the "disc burning setup" has burn "grayed" out.
[11:44] <Zelda> many thanks who ever sent me that page for the mouse issue.
[11:44] <Zelda> I fixed it.
[11:44] <Tyrath_> ardchoille: I'm after I help channel
[11:44] <terryx> when i was trying to install unrar via terminal in the middle everything hangs up...can anyone tell me why?
[11:44] <Vinceman> melio, but if you can receive from YouTube there must be some flash working on your PC!
[11:45] <Vinceman> Melio, sry
[11:45] <bazhang> terryx, try again and paste.ubuntu.com with the errors
[11:45] <Finnish> latest 11-kernel is not booting in my laptop, it just stays in the black screen after splash-window
[11:45] <Jokke`> Melio: USB 2.0 = ~1mb-5mb/s is normal speed
[11:45] <ardchoille> Tyrath_: #elinks ?
[11:46] <terryx> bazhang, no errors, just in middle of installation or download my whole pc hangs
[11:46] <Tyrath_> ardchoille: i'll try that. thanks. generally it's big in this channel tho, so I always pop a question
[11:46] <Agent_Ubuntu> bye all, I go to eat bb
[11:46] <bazhang> terryx, what does sudo apt-get update return
[11:46] <Tyrath_> ardchoille: and the people in #elinks can tend to be a bit grumpy :/
[11:46] <Zelda> bye
[11:46] <Ad_> any one know how to format usb  in ubunut
[11:47] <terryx> now its completed...
[11:47] <memfis> Hi, I'm having a nightmare getting wpa to work with an old orinoco minipci card. I've tried going through the ubuntu wireless wiki. Tried orinoco drivers from sourceforge which wont compile & tried using wpa_supplicant with ubuntu provided hermes or orinoco drivers. Does anyone have expirience in using wpa_supplicant or ndis drivers who could point me in the right direction?
[11:47] <Jcb-> Anyone see my issue above?
[11:47] <Melio> Jokke`: I suppose usb 2.0 is. but are you sure the drive is 2.0?
[11:47] <Slart> Ad_: try using gparted, it's an easy point and click interface
[11:47] <ardchoille> !format > Ad_
[11:47] <bazhang> terryx, and sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[11:47] <memfis> I know it's possible without recompiling the kernel, I just don't know how.
[11:47] <terryx> upgrade or update
[11:48] <terryx> ?
[11:48] <Tyrath_> terryx: you have do do update first
[11:48] <Jokke`> Melio:  you mean i need to update ubuntu to support USB 2.0 or what? USB hard drive & my computer is supporting USB 2.0
[11:48] <terryx> what if i don't want to update?
[11:48] <Tyrath_> terryx: just do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:48] <Tyrath_> terryx: what do you want to do?
[11:48] <Androidfan537> do i have space as big as host for wubi install or no
[11:48] <Slart> Jcb-: is there a cd in the drive?
[11:48] <terryx> i have just typed update its showing 45%, i want to cancel that...how?
[11:48] <bazhang> Androidfan537, how much space
[11:48] <Jcb-> Yes, dvd start.
[11:49] <Jcb-> S/start/Slart
[11:49] <Tyrath_> terryx: update won't install anything
[11:49] <Tyrath_> terryx: update just gets the list of updates
[11:49] <bazhang> terryx, let it finish
[11:49] <ardchoille> terryx: update simply updates your software sources, it's a good thing
[11:49] <Tyrath_> terryx: until you do sudo apt-get upgrade nothing will install. and it will verify that you want to install the items
[11:49] <terryx> i don't want to do anything.i just want to know why my computer freeze up...?
[11:49] <terryx> ok...its completed(update)...now?
[11:50] <bazhang> terryx, then follow what we are telling you
[11:50] <terryx> now i do upgrade or not?
[11:50] <Androidfan537> i have 500gb harddrive for conky to monitor windows space from wubi install be /host
[11:50] <Slart> Jcb-: and it fits on the dvd, the dvd isn't used already, all the options are correct etc?
[11:50] <Tyrath_> terryx: do you tend to do something before it freezes up or is it random?
[11:50] <bazhang> terryx, yes
[11:50]  * Jcb- is starting to wonder why he switched from bsd
[11:50] <Jcb-> Yep Slart its all set on that end
[11:51] <AprilHare> does anyone know of a ubuntu application or utility that supports HD Photo images?
[11:51] <bazhang> Androidfan537, why wubi?
[11:51] <Slart> AprilHare: what is a HD Photo?
[11:51] <Jcb-> Its a 4.4g dvd-r from philips, the video is 1h 53m long.
[11:51] <AprilHare> thats the famous Windows HD Photo image file format
[11:51] <terryx> now...i was just download/installing unrar and then its hangs up...for the first time...when i restart from c.p.u...my nvidia driver is deactivated...now i have activated it...
[11:51] <Tyrath_> terryx: if it freezes when you connect something it's best to run dmesg then output the text to a file (ie, dmesg > dmesg.file) then pastebin the dmesg file and have others look at it
[11:51] <AprilHare> that is Slart
[11:51] <Jcb-> Total actual size of the video is 703 MB
[11:52] <AprilHare> i tried the gimp etc and it is a brick wall
[11:52] <terryx> its downloading something..is that fine(upgrade)?
[11:52] <mungustas> hello! does any one now, how to use lftp thru socks5 proxy ?
[11:52] <bazhang> terryx, yes, let it finish
[11:52] <Tyrath_> terryx: if you have the program pastebinit you can simply pipe the output straight into pastebin it ie, dmesg | pastebinit
[11:52] <Jokke`> Can  someone help on my problem ? :S
[11:52] <Slart> AprilHare: ah.. it's patented by microsoft then.. perhaps install a vm with windows on it
[11:53] <terryx> ok what i have to type?
[11:53] <Tyrath_> terryx: to do what?
[11:53] <terryx> what i do now..its already upgrading?
[11:53] <terryx> should i wait?
[11:53] <gmathews> what is the URL for pastebin?
[11:53] <bazhang> terryx, do nothing right now
[11:53] <AprilHare> Slart, i do not approve of that solution :) i want ubuntu support! i believe it on a less restrictive licence
[11:53] <terryx> ok
[11:53] <rww> !pastebin | gmathews
[11:53] <bazhang> terryx, let it finish
[11:53] <Jcb-> Slart, any ideas on Brasero?
[11:54] <terryx> got it...
[11:54] <Tyrath_> gmathews: www.pastebin.com, www.pastebin.ca, pastebin.ubuntu.com
[11:54] <PurityOfEssence> Hello. How can I stop some users appearing in the fast user switch applet?
[11:54] <gmathews> ta :]
[11:54] <Slart> Jcb-: I can't think of any other things to try.. try with a new dvd.. try with some other dvd recorder.. try with another movie.. or combinations of these
[11:54] <Tyrath_> gmathews: there's many out there...
[11:54] <midoaday> slt
[11:54] <mick02> Good afternoon folks, I was wondering if anyone knew of a FREE ODBC driver to connect to a Pervasive SQL database?
[11:54] <bazhang> terryx, you can only use one instance of apt at a time; and it is a bad idea to interrupt it as a general rule
[11:54] <Jcb-> AprilHare, SoFixIt?
[11:54] <midoaday> je veus etr un
[11:54] <Slart> AprilHare: if you read the wikipedia it seems they haven't really decided about the license..
[11:54] <terryx> i have installed my nvidia driver via envy...so my computer hanging now
[11:54] <Tyrath_> gmathews: I just use a simple app called pastebinit to do my pastebins
[11:54] <Slart> AprilHare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Photo
[11:54] <bazhang> midoaday, #ubuntu-fr
[11:54] <ikonia> envy is not supported
[11:54] <Tyrath_> !fr | midoaday
[11:54] <Zelda> heres one that I think you guys cant answer: How do I get the symbol you go to, to log out, to stay the red power button instead of having a green circle when you sign into pidgin?
[11:54] <terryx> i mean so why my pc hanging now?
[11:55] <mungustas> hello! does any one now, how to use lftp thru socks5 proxy ?
[11:55] <Slart> AprilHare: or rather.. they haven't included it in the "we won't send the black helicopters if you use this"-promise
[11:55] <gmathews> http://paste.ubuntu.com/91539/  someone pls take a look
[11:55] <Tyrath_> midoaday: aussi, essayez de parler plus au langue courant, ca ira mieux
[11:55] <Slart> AprilHare: check the chapter "Licensing"
[11:55] <AprilHare> slart: you may be onto something Slart http://news.com.com/2100-1045_3-6153730.html
[11:55] <Zelda> anyone?
[11:56] <Tyrath_> gmathews: please state the problem first
[11:56] <midoaday> ok
[11:56] <Jokke`> anyone to help me ? :S
[11:56] <gmathews> Tyrath_: SATA hard resetting link - just posted the dmesg output there
[11:56] <midoaday> i have a problem for ubuntu
[11:56] <Zelda> whos ubuntu?
[11:57] <Zelda> ./whois ubuntu
[11:57] <Tyrath_> !ubuntu | Zelda
[11:57] <gmathews> ./hump Ubuntu
[11:57] <bazhang> Zelda, you might ask in the pidgin channel
[11:57] <Zelda> thanks.
[11:57] <Tyrath_> !spam
[11:57] <Zelda> heheh
[11:57] <Ad_> gmathews,https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/160015
[11:58] <Zelda> bazhang: is that an issue with pidgin?
[11:58] <Jcb-> Anyone else here able to help with Brasero?
[11:58] <Tyrath_> Jcb-: what's the problem?
[11:58] <bazhang> Zelda, not sure, but it sounds like a very pidgin specific issue; someone here may have heard of it, but as a rule a good idea to ask the experts there as well
[11:59] <silv3r_m001> hi there
[11:59] <Jcb-> I am attemping to burn a video to dvd, the dvd is fine, the video is fine. When attempting to burn I get to disk burning setup and 'burn' is grayed out.
[11:59] <gmathews> Ad_ i think it is a hardware issue but I want to know what exactly...Windows goes into a blue screen - thought Linux could be more specific.
[11:59] <Tyrath_> and guess what I still haven't received a reply from #elinks....
[11:59] <silv3r_m001> i am looking for some 3d games which can run without opengl or high memory graphics card .. mine has 2mb
[11:59] <RedMarlboro> hi all
[11:59] <Zelda> omg, wtf?!
[11:59] <Zelda> sorry.
[11:59] <Zelda> what was that bazhang?
[11:59] <Tyrath_> silv3r_m001: duke nukem?
[11:59] <ikonia> gmathews: ##windows guys will help you debug the bluescreen better
[11:59] <Jcb-> K3b isn't an option nor is downloading anything I am offline till vz repairs the fiber
[12:00] <bazhang> Zelda, please keep it family friendly
[12:00] <silv3r_m001> Tyrath_: let me check
[12:00] <Zelda> what did you say before that?
[12:00] <gmathews> lol screw windows... i get beginning of memory dump... Linux says hard resetting SATA link... I feel like investigating..
[12:00] <Tyrath_> Zelda: what's your problem?
[12:00] <bazhang> Zelda, post your question there as well, someone here may know but better more eyes see the issue
[12:01] <Zelda> Tyrath: nothing I got it fixed. Pidgin just decieded to close on me.
[12:01] <balkian> jcb: have you tried burning another thing?
[12:01] <Jcb-> Tyrath_: should I just haul the desktop to the office, burn the dvd and then fdisk and go back to freebsd?
[12:01] <Ad_> gmathews, ok ur disk in slave mode and try to use hardisk inspector software
[12:01] <mick02> Anyone know how I can connect my Ubuntu box to a Pervasive SQL database through ODBC? Preferable without having to pay lots of cash to Pervasive!?!
[12:01] <bazhang> Jcb-, this is a data dvd?
[12:01] <Jcb-> Nope first time I have ever burned with brasero, but cdrecord in terminal burns fine.
[12:02] <silv3r_m001> Tyrath_: is that free ?
[12:02] <Jcb-> It doesn't specify and I have used them for both they are philips 4.4g single layer
[12:02] <Tyrath_> Zelda: good :)
[12:02] <bazhang> Jcb-, what is it? movie, mp3 or other
[12:02] <RedMarlboro> help for setting  wifi netbook thanks
[12:02] <Jcb-> A movie (avi specificly)
[12:03] <Vinceman> Melia Melia Melia
[12:03] <bazhang> Jcb-, brasero wont do that if you plan on watching on a separate dvd player
[12:03] <balkian> jcb: are you trying to burn it as data or video dvd?
[12:03] <Jcb-> Video
[12:03] <bazhang> devede
[12:03] <balkian> jcb: you need to either convert it to mpeg or burn it as data
[12:04] <Jcb-> Ffmpeg will convert it, correct?
[12:04] <juro> what is the easiest way to move my complete ubuntu onto a new harddrive?
[12:04] <Tyrath_> Jcb-: I don't know what you're trying to do. But I generally personally use fdisk to see partitions (ie, sudo fdisk -l) then select the desired partition then type df in a terminal to find out where it is mounted to before interacting with it
[12:04] <Tyrath_> silv3r_m001: not sure. probably not :/
[12:04] <balkian> right, but if you haven't used it before I recommend you devede
[12:05] <Tyrath_> silv3r_m001: thought it's an old game so it has probably been out for ages
[12:05] <AslanMan> Hi, please advice. I want to create another hd partition for my server files (of course local server) what best to choose, fat32 or ext3?
[12:05] <Jcb-> I have used ffmpeg for quite a while, just hope that ubuntu includes it as I didn't apt-get it before fios went dead.
[12:05] <benedek> AslanMan: If you only use Linux, ext3
[12:05] <Gjhw> AslanMan: ext3
[12:05] <bazhang> Jcb-, get the version from medibuntu.org
[12:06] <Tyrath_> Jcb-: if you're trying to write a movie to the partition mount just simply cp <movie path> <partition mount path>
[12:06] <Tyrath_> Jcb-: you will probably have to type sudo before interacting with partitions
[12:06] <AslanMan> benedek, Gjhw yes, only linux. Thanks.
[12:06] <Jcb-> Tyrath_, that's not at all what I am trying to do.
[12:07] <Tyrath_> Jcb-: what are you trying to do?
[12:07] <terryx> why i need to do full upgrade?
[12:07] <balkian> Tyrath: I think his problem is solved, ;)
[12:07] <balkian> jcb: right?
[12:07] <aremay> terryx : use this sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[12:07] <Tyrath_> balkian: cool :)
[12:07] <Jcb-> Medibuntu won't be of much help, fios is down I am irc'ing via my bberry.
[12:07] <Jcb-> Yep balkian
[12:07] <terryx> aremay, i have that...thats not my prob..
[12:07] <aremay> i use that command to install nvidia driver
[12:08] <terryx> why i need to do full upgrade?
[12:08] <Tyrath_> terryx: because an upgrade may contain patches to fix up bugs in software
[12:08] <terryx> ok
[12:08] <bazhang> terryx, for security reasons and app compatibility purposes
[12:08] <AslanMan> Guys, if I want to extend (increase the size) of the partition on which ubuntu is installed using gparted, is there a high risk of loosing data?
[12:08] <mungustas> hello! does any one now, how to use lftp thru socks5 proxy ?
[12:08] <Tyrath_> terryx: and this freeze may be a result of a bug
[12:09] <bazhang> AslanMan, of course there is always a risk no matter the OS
[12:09] <terryx> freeze problem occurs for reason display or upgrade or more reasons?
[12:09]  * Tyrath_ hates partition stuff
[12:10] <bazhang> terryx, we have yet to troubleshoot this, please finish upgrading first
[12:10] <gmathews> !medibuntu
[12:10] <AslanMan> Ok, any idea of fast backup for the whole partition to another keeping all remissions (which means by restoring the backup everything must go back as it was)
[12:10] <terryx> ok
[12:10] <Jcb-> balkian, ffmpeg -i file.avi -b 800k file.mpeg correct?
[12:10] <Tyrath_> terryx: probably because something's forcing your cpu to look for data in memory that may not exist
[12:10] <terryx> is there any tips for increasing internet speed or computer speed in ubuntu?
[12:10] <bazhang> AslanMan, /msg ubottu backup for some links
[12:10] <ikonia> terryx: get supported hardware (network card especially) and get a solid ISP
[12:10] <balkian> jcb: I think so, but I haven't used ffmpeg for a long time, ;) sorry
[12:11] <Tyrath_> terryx: yes. download as many low graphic, small size applications as you can
[12:11] <zorrolero> mungustas: maybe lftp will recognize your $http_proxy-env-variable, so try to set it with "export http_proxy=http://$PROXYNAME:$PROXYPORT
[12:11] <Tyrath_> terryx: I generally stick to the terminal based applications as much as possible
[12:11] <terryx> i have 256kbps internet speed(30 download speed)
[12:11] <terryx> ok
[12:11] <Tyrath_> terryx: but you will be trading user friendliness for speed
[12:11] <Jcb-> Terryx, buy a Juniper MX 240 and get 2x GigE's over metro ethernet. =P
[12:11] <Androidfan856> im back was saying want to try out wubi cause i wanna use it on my dell mini 9
[12:11] <Tyrath_> terryx: that is. until you get used to those programs
[12:12] <terryx> ok
[12:12] <terryx> thanx
[12:12] <Tyrath_> np :)
[12:12] <terryx> can i browse in firefox while upgrading in process in terminal?
[12:12] <Androidfan856> on my desktop i use xubuntu as backup and vista but use sabayon as primary

[12:12] <Tyrath_> catch you folks
[12:12] <terryx> is there any harm in it?
[12:12] <balkian> terryx: yeap

[12:12] <Androidfan856> i wondered how well wubi does for dell mini 9
[12:12] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I wonder if someone can help -- I have a folder on my mac downstairs that I want to share through SMB.  I have gone through the necessary sharing process on the Mac.  Upstairs on Ubuntu, I have gone through 'network', and can see the folder in question.  However, when I try to click into each album folder within the main music folder, it wont let me in.  Is this a Mac or Ubuntu issue?
[12:13] <ikonia> mafaldaboy: nope, but thanks for the tst

[12:17] <terryx> ok
[12:17] <Jcb-> Terryx I am on a blackberry and saw your question fine, no need to flood.
[12:17] <balkian> thebloggu: I think you can use synaptic to save the currently installed apps and then use the selections file to install them in another pc
[12:17] <terryx> koi indian hai yaha per?????????
[12:17] <thebloggu> balkian, do you know how you can do it ?
[12:17] <terryx> batao yaar....

[12:21] <whitedox> Whenever I try logging into eBay, it says my browser (firefox) is rejecting cookies. How do I enable them? There is no options under Tools.
[12:22] <rebel_kid> whitedox, edit -> preferences
[12:22] <rebel_kid> its in there
[12:22] <jin__> what is the command to get the cpu usage in percentage?
[12:22] <rebel_kid> jin__, top should work for that
[12:23] <slava_dp> jin__, htop is better but you have to install that
[12:23]  * rebel_kid agrees
[12:23] <jin__> rebel_kid: I only want to ouput the cpu usage percentage to a textfile very 5 minutes. I don't want to watch it all the time
[12:24] <rebel_kid> jin__ i believe there is a file that stores this data updated every second or so, but i couldnt tell you where
[12:24] <mosiac> ok im stupid and back for help
[12:25] <rebel_kid> mosiac.... with?
[12:25] <mosiac> im tryng to mount my sd card
[12:25] <mosiac> this should be simple but i for g
[12:25] <mosiac> forgot
[12:26] <mosiac> its on /dev/sdc and i have a dir for it but i forgot the filesystem stuff
[12:26]  * rebel_kid passes to someone with experience with that
[12:26] <slava_dp> jin__, you could try vmstat, cpu load is printed in the end.
[12:27] <jin__> slava_dp: is that in percentage? if so which one? cause I see 4 values
[12:28] <jin__> actually I see 5 values
[12:28] <rebel_kid> jin__, i believe it is us
[12:28] <mosiac> ok cancel my first question i got that done, now how to i change permissions for the card for some reason by default only root has access how can i add my username to access
[12:29] <jin__> rebel_kid: that not in percentage
[12:29] <jin__> us: Time spent running non-kernel code. (user time, including nice time)
[12:29] <rebel_kid> mosiac, man chmod and man chown (those can change permissions and ownership)
[12:29] <balkian> mosiac: sudo chown <youruser> <dir>, or sudo chmod o+rw <dir>
[12:30] <balkian> mosiac: but check the man pages as rebel_kid told you for more info ;)
[12:31] <mosiac> hehe ok i did what you said but it says i dont have permission to change permissions on the directory even with sudo
[12:32] <veloc1ty> mosiac, you need to do chmod -R
[12:33] <MiniCow> I've got a system with a hosed libc6 package instalation (crash during upgrade). I'm trying to reinstall the original libc6 package, and getting "subproocess pre-installation script killed by signal (seg fault)" no matter what I try. Any ideas?
[12:35] <mosiac> with the -R command do i type anything else because its not liking just that command
[12:36] <mosiac> is there a way i can just edit my fstab so i dont have to do this everytime i turn on the computer
[12:36] <Zelda> night./
[12:37] <Zelda> er....
[12:37] <mon^rch> what is the chmod command for me to own all my files so nobody can browse my home dir... what is it again?
[12:37] <sleepy_cat> hi anyone knows about the new additions in webkit-r39450\
[12:37] <veloc1ty> mosiac, you use the same command like before, but with -R as an option
[12:37] <veloc1ty> like chmod -R 777 /my/folder/
[12:38] <spdz2> My Windows machine has completely died.  I have booted into Ubuntu from the CD.  Bizarrely I cannot eject the CD.  Is there a reason for this?
[12:38] <spdz2> It is also unable to mount volume?
[12:38] <veloc1ty> spdz2, it is a live system wich is started from the CD, you can't eject it when it's running
[12:39] <DRebellion> spdz2, perhaps a hard drive failure?
[12:39] <sleepy_cat> uhh webkit-r39450
[12:39] <sleepy_cat> whats new in this one
[12:39] <spdz2> omg I am badly stuffed.  I need to burn a DVD.   Is there any way?
[12:40] <veloc1ty> spdz2, you can either install ubuntu or run it from a usb drive / stick
[12:40] <spdz2> Why on earth can I not use CD drive?  surely everything can be loaded into memory?  it is not accessing the drive...
[12:41] <Zelda> Ok so the guys at #pidgin told me that its an issue with Ubuntu.
[12:41] <DRebellion> spdz2, ubuntu doesn't provide the option to load to ram by default. The only livecd i can remember off the top of my head would be backtrack that does this, but I don't really use many livecds ; )
[12:41] <mon^rch> what is the chmod command for me to own all my files so nobody can browse my home dir... what is it again?
[12:42] <Jcb-> Balkian ping
[12:42] <Zelda> Bazhang: you still here?
[12:42] <Jcb-> I still can't burn a video even with it converted to mpeg
[12:43] <_coredump_> mahlzeit
[12:43] <Zelda> does anyone here know how to keep the user switcher panel from switching buttons when loggin into pidgin?
[12:44] <Zelda> *logging rather
[12:44] <enigma> HI I have problem, I make mistake and run such command
[12:44] <enigma> sudo chmod -R 0777 /var/
[12:44] <enigma> next I change to sudo chmod -R 0700 /var/
[12:44] <enigma> beacuse when I use sudo tehe was some warning message
[12:44] <enigma> but now I have problem with updater
[12:45] <enigma> is any way to back to old chmods ??
[12:45] <Zelda> did they do something to the user switcher panel from 8.04 --> 8.10?
[12:47] <Zelda> anyone?
