[07:55] <sjj> Flannel, well, I changed  the main menu one back to the ff2 one already, but it wasn't seamless.
[07:55] <sjj> It reset to the terminal icon when I uninstalled ff3
[07:55] <sarmisak> simtower: also install smartmontools
[07:55] <sarmisak> simtower: you might have a disk problem
[07:56] <paulcros> I belive its impossible to replace ff3 with ff2
[07:56] <simtower> they are sata disks
[07:56] <sarmisak> simtower: and please backup :D
[07:56] <Afflictedlife> so anyone around who can help me configure my dvd drives?
[07:56] <JediKnut> Hi, i had a few queries - first I wanted to know if I can get an alternative to QuarkXPress (for page-making) on Ubuntu - I need something that will let me export the file as a quark file
[07:56] <simtower> this _is_ the backup server lol
[07:56] <luigi_B> #ubuntu-it
[07:56] <paulcros> If you do so. you will get into some serious trouble.
[07:56] <Flannel> sjj: I imagine if you re-installed -2 after removing 3, you would've been fine.  but, can't say for sure.
[07:56] <sjj> Flannel, ahh
[07:57] <Flannel> sjj: since anything that was done in post-install scripts would've happened then.  But the files themselves inside the packages are, as far as I can tell, independant
[07:57] <kevin_> hello, i would like to disallow writing to my ntfs partition. I used ntfs-config and writing is unchecked but I am still able to.
[07:58] <sarmisak> simtower: good luck then :D but it's probably the rams
[07:58] <TOPSECRET> ive got all over my logs: May  4 02:38:20 homeserver kernel: [1922405.129954] eth0: excessive work at interrupt.
[07:58] <sjj> Flannel, also, while i'm here. I'm pretty sure 'xmms' used to be a valid package, but doesn't seem to exist anymore. Do you happen to know what it is now?
[07:58] <le-fou> salut les pute
[07:58] <sjj> apt-cache shows xmms2 but I don't think it's he same thing.
[07:58] <kevin_> the line in fstab for this partition reads umask=222,utf8 0 0, if I change the umask to 666 will that deny writing to the ntfs drive?
[07:59] <j> hi guys
[07:59] <Andycasss> I need to install a B43 open source driver for my broadcom 4311, but i have to net to fetch it with fwcutter. Is there a way to pre-fetch it somehow so i could put it on a usb stick and then just install it??
[08:00] <Flannel> sjj: xmms was old and unmaintained, so it was removed.  I believe xmms2 is available, although I'm not familiar with how good of a replacement it is.
[08:00] <sjj> Flannel, fair enough, cheers.
[08:00] <Rat409> Andycasss: its built-in to hardys default kernel
[08:01] <opop> i believe xmms forked to audacious, did it not?
[08:01] <Andycasss> Rat409: I cant install it from restricted manager. Asks me for net or when i put in the cd, it wants some hardy 20080429 or something...
[08:01] <Rat409> Andycasss: or go to openwrt.org/b43

[08:15] <Flannel> Andycasss: shift-pageup/down
[08:15] <Dr_willis> connor,  well firefox 2 IS in the repos.. and wth the 'nightly testers tools' extension for FF3. you can run most ALL ff2 extensions in FF3.
[08:15] <Andycasss> Flannel: thanks
[08:15] <connor> so
[08:15] <connor> uh
[08:15] <connor> well

[08:16] <connor> the firefox that came with my ubuntu install wont allow the installation of linkification >_>
[08:16] <StevenTyler> Oh Amigos, I installed Hardy Heron 'inside' Window. It asked me a username, I chose one. I chose a password for it too. But what's the root password?
[08:16] <Flannel> connor: tar.gz are complicated, because their contents can be a number of different things (its just an archive).  What are you trying to install?
[08:16] <Krimson> Root password is your password
[08:16] <Dr_willis> connor,  it defaults to firefox-3, You can install firefox2 with the package manager, if you want FF2.
[08:16] <Flannel> StevenTyler: there is no root password, use sudo instead.
[08:16] <connor> firefox
[08:16] <Zaiden> Oddly I'm logged on as root now but I still can't install the driver because it's still saying I'm not root
[08:16] <connor> i tried installing firefox 2 from the package manager
[08:17] <connor> no help
[08:17] <StevenTyler> oh
[08:17] <Krimson> Oh, my bad. Yeah, sudo is it.
[08:17] <flavio> ciao
[08:17] <connor> i have the firefox i need extracted on my desktop
[08:17] <Dr_willis> connor,  if thats a firefox extension, you can try the Nightly tester tools for FF3. and see if it can run linkifcation.
[08:17] <connor> so
[08:17] <connor> huh?
[08:17] <StevenTyler> Thanks
[08:17] <FloodBot1> connor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:17] <_musso> Sory if it is a stupid question, but  if downloaded ubuntu iso twiced checked them both and they should have worked but when i install my cdrom gives corrupted errors   ithink my cdrom is screwed so i was wondering if therer is another way to installl lie copyin from hardkdisk or somthing

[08:19] <Sanketsu> Anybody have any advice on my Samsung 320px not being detected by Ubuntu 7.10 properly?
[08:20] <jussi01> LaneLimited: your question is perhaps better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:20] <LaneLimited> connor: I am compiz and all the cool stuff i believe.... but im still noob... What do you do with this OS? just curious
[08:20] <Krimson> LaneLimited: No, not pot.  QSynaptics or GSynpatics?

[08:23] <forlan-> Hey guys.  I have a 120gig hdd which has 5 partitions and 2 operating systems.  2 ntfs partitions (I run WinXP Pro) and 3 ext3 partitions (I run Ubuntu 7.10--I'll upgrade to 8.4 soon).  I also have a 500gig drive for data storage.  I just bought a 1 TB drive for backup of the 2 other drives.  What should I use for backup?  Is there any reason not to just boot into Knoppix and do a dd dump of the entire drives?
[08:23] <Krimson> LaneLimited: Cigarettes and cigars are horrid wastes of tobacco. Pipes are best.  You'd probably like Carter Hall or Prince Albert more. Anyway, this isn't appropriate conversation. Let's get back on topic.

[08:35] <yit41> krimson: are you using wireless?
[08:35] <drivetrax> hay man.. use UnetBootin
[08:36] <Krimson> yit4l: yes
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> oh i know why now, because i have a mounted nfs in my home folder and the server is down, how can i fix that?
[08:36] <Afflictedlife> need help configuring dvd drives correctly in order to allow burning on 2nd drive and burning of dvd media.

[08:36] <kindofabuzz> LeetSweden: thousands
[08:36] <pro-rsoft> hi, how to check latest version or installed version of a package from cmd?
[08:36] <yit41> krimson: so you had trouble getting it to work
[08:36] <LeetSweden> jussi01: right!
[08:36] <Starnestommy> pro-rsoft: aptitude show <package-name>
[08:37] <Krimson> yit4l: I had trouble setting static IP's. Now I understand how. It's not hard.
[08:37] <pro-rsoft> ok thanks
[08:37] <Slor> jussi01 - that won't quite do it for me.  This machine is blank.
[08:37] <drivetrax> pfff.. two days.. congrats now!
[08:37] <yit41> help me guys with FN functions. it's killing me for unable to adjust my volume with keyboard
[08:37] <kindofabuzz> the solution to bcm43xx:  hook your computer up via ethernet cable, enable the b43 in hardware drivers, check fetch firmware when asked, boom, you have wireless when it's done
[08:37] <LeetSweden> sometimes (not often) I can connect to my router, But after 2min it's gets no signal...
[08:38] <egc> sup yall
[08:38] <LeetSweden> Always when I is Connected it's stad "Signal 0%"
[08:38] <jussi01> Slor: ahh ok then. :/ does it have usb?
[08:38] <Krimson> yit4l: I really think it's a ubuntu compatibility problem. I have the same problem.
[08:38] <Slor> yes, but not bootable USB.
[08:38] <jussi01> oh
[08:38] <kindofabuzz> anyone know the mount command for a nfs share so it won't hang when the share is not available?
[08:38] <Slor> If it did, I'd sysboot it.
[08:38] <Slor> I assume that's where you were going.
[08:39] <yit41> krimson: i dont think so
[08:39] <shan> how could install window manger in kdm
[08:39] <bazhang> shan, which one
[08:39] <yit41> krimson: because i can use these FN functions before this
[08:39] <Krimson> yit4l: Hmmm... did you look at reassigning a few keys to mimic them? Use system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts
[08:40] <yit41> krimson: i can still adjust the brightness, enable/disable touchpad
[08:40] <niklaus> i installed hardy recently
[08:40] <yit41> krimson: checked that. it shows that volume set to the corresponding keys
[08:40] <shan> bazhang: MWM
[08:41] <yit41> krimson: i can see the indicator when pressing the keys but it doesnt affect anything to the volume
[08:41] <niklaus> and my machine hangs / ie doesn't repsond for 10 secs , i can see the disk being written by the led lights. It is quite annoying , I type code and it just sits there for 20 secs
[08:41] <niklaus> i didn't have this problem in gutsy i remember
[08:41] <bazhang> shan what is the full name dont know mwm
[08:41] <egc> niklaus: are u running compiz?
[08:42] <Krimson> yit4l: I'm sorry man, I need to go. Good luck.

[08:43] <matrix> hello
[08:43] <egc> niklaus: i had hangs until today, i updated the compiz package and it seems to have stopped
[08:43] <yit41> devis: just to test whether your webcam is there and working properly
[08:43] <drivetrax> devis,  zonewatcher (or similar name)
[08:43] <niklaus> egc, how did you update compiz
[08:43] <devis> i tried cheese but the whole computer freezes
[08:43] <shan> bazhang: Motif Window Manager
[08:44] <drivetrax> let me get the url devis
[08:44] <Slor> jussi01 - that might do it for me.  I have a tftp server set up already, but I wasn't sure how to convince this machine to boot from it.
[08:44] <egc> niklaus: there's an automatic updater
[08:44] <jussi01> Sl4m: excellent :)
[08:44] <bazhang> shan the closest is iceWM
[08:44] <yit41> devis: oh, then i'm not sure. mine is Acer Crystal Cam. i thought i havent had the driver but after i installed XawTV, i realised that it is compatible
[08:44] <drivetrax> devis - take a look - it says logitech cams ?  :  http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu
[08:45] <shan> bazhang: ya just like that
[08:45] <yit41> anyone here have any idea how to restore my FN keys?
[08:45] <niklaus> egc, it says update manager says upto date
[08:45] <bazhang> shan you can install it
[08:45] <egc> niklaus: ok, so that must not bei t
[08:46] <shan> bazhang: no i dont knw how could install
[08:46] <bazhang> shan apt-cache search icewm to see what is availiable (in terminal) the sudo apt-get install packagename packagename
[08:47] <yit41> blah! i fixed my FN buttons!
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> wow the #linux is nothing but assholes
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> sorry
[08:48] <thijs> Hello, i just installed unbuntu gamers edition and now i want to change the apache index file
[08:48] <kindofabuzz> anyone know the mount command for a nfs share so it won't hang when the share is not available?
[08:48] <yit41> kindofabuzz: lol why?
[08:48] <thijs> but i cant find it :X
[08:48] <Flannel> thijs: What on earth is Ubuntu gamers edition?
[08:48] <thijs> just some games added XD
[08:48] <Slor> jussi01 - will give it a try.  thanks for the pointer.
[08:48] <kindofabuzz> yit41: they just are, i ask a question and they start going off on me and
[08:48] <kindofabuzz> nvm
[08:48] <jussi01> Slor: great. hope it works for you :)
[08:49] <Slor> later all
[08:49] <Flannel> thijs: Thats the stupidest thing.  Well, on real Ubuntu you modify /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, to do it.
[08:49] <yit41> kindofabuzz: people are like that sometimes
[08:49] <drivetrax> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-8.04-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories
[08:49] <kindofabuzz> Flannel: probably a distro full of games
[08:49] <thijs> i'll try it now
[08:49] <shan> bazhang: thank u
[08:49] <Tobias92> Hey ubuntu folks. When I start up my pc, the ubuntu boot screen is rather blurry, like it is using a resolution way below my screen's potential. Where can I change this?
[08:50] <niklaus> how to tell disk to flush after every 10 mins
[08:50] <devis> i get a bios error found on startup. Is that ok?
[08:50] <bazhang> kindofabuzz, language please
[08:50] <thijs> It works, thank you =)
[08:50] <niklaus> no aggressive disk flushing
[08:51] <kindofabuzz> bazhang: you're a little slow, that was 5 minutes ago
[08:51] <kindofabuzz> =)
[08:51] <yit41> just wondering, i got my ubuntu installed via Wubi. if i decided to make a real partition to Ubuntu, will i lose the data in XP?
[08:51] <kindofabuzz> bazhang: you da man, got a solution for me? anyone know the mount command for a nfs share so it won't hang when the share is not available?
[08:52] <adam7> yit41: not if you do it right ;)
[08:52] <adam7> yit41: although in reality, you shouldn't, no
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> yit41,  Im not sure you can convert your wubi install into a real partition. You wouldbasicially reinstall ubuntu on a real partition. i think.
[08:52] <bazhang> yit41, you mean an lvm?
[08:52] <adam7> but backups are always good :)
[08:52] <matrix> i have a script coldfusion.sh , i want to add startup ?
[08:52] <matrix> how can i do it ?
[08:52] <matrix> on ubuntu
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> backups are ALWAYS a good idea.
[08:52] <drivetrax> lvpm
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> matrix,  depends on what it does.
[08:52] <yit41> i hate backups
[08:52] <drivetrax> unetbootin..
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> Is the /etc/rc.local script still goofed up under hardy? last i heard - it never gor ran.
[08:52] <adam7> cron + rsync + usb = happy backup :)
[08:53] <yit41> drivetrax: what is that?
[08:53] <adam7> Dr_Willis: I used it the other day, it runs
[08:53] <drivetrax> net boot install of ubuntu
[08:53] <drivetrax> no cd, no burner
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> adam7,  for some odd reason many people have reported it never getting ran.
[08:53] <anathematic> how do i set my ubuntu server's harddrtives to mount on reboot?
[08:53] <adam7> Dr_Willis: well, I put dhclient in there, and it ran dhclient on boot...
[08:53] <okaasan> Sup people
[08:53] <okaasan> I've got a problem
[08:53] <adam7> !ask
[08:53] <drivetrax> ?
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> anathematic,  you edit the fstab, to mount them properly.
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> !fstab | anabolix
[08:54] <okaasan> I just upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 and whenever I try to enable restricted drivers, my comp dies
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> oops wrong nick.
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> !fstab | anathematic
[08:54] <okaasan> it boots to the console login prompt, the screen blanks for a bit, a few times
[08:54] <anathematic> thanks Dr_Willis
[08:54] <okaasan> and it boots to low graphics mode
[08:54] <okaasan> and no matter what I do from there, it doesn't help
[08:54] <matrix> sould i add  "/etc/init.d/coldfusion.sh start
[08:54] <matrix> " on rc.local ?
[08:54] <ljzmcm> Can anyone help me get my Wireless working on Ubuntu?
[08:54] <okaasan> and I can't get into virtalconsole or anything
[08:54] <okaasan> and running in recovery and using xfix fixes it, but I'm using vesa now
[08:54] <jussi01> !startup | matrix
[08:55] <okaasan> which is not ideal
[08:55] <adam7> matrix: no, you should add it to the bootup sequence -- see above :)
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> matrix,  if it has an actual init script. You could add it to the proper runlevel and it should start.
[08:55] <yit41> ljzmcm: what adapter are you using?
[08:55] <matrix> i am using shell
[08:55] <matrix> i dont use gnome
[08:55] <jussi01> !boot > matrix

[08:56] <yit41> ljzmcm: well, you can use ndiswrapper or madwifi
[08:56] <_Net> I ave a folder in /opt/ that I need to set permission for my user to be able to read/write/edit
[08:57] <ljzmcm> do I just apt-get those and run em?
[08:57] <egc> adam7: lol, that was english!
[08:57] <drivetrax> okaasan,  -- get to a terminal?
[08:57] <_Net> How can I do this? I tried chmod a+x 7777 as root still can't write.
[08:57] <adam7> egc: I didn't know "sizzide" was an English word ;)
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> 7777?  isent that one too many 7's
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> chown it to be owned by your owner and you dont need to use 777
[08:57] <okaasan> drivetrax: Yeah, in low graphics mode it wouldn't let me ctrl-alt-F1 or anything
[08:57] <yit41> ljzmcm: it's more complicated than that
[08:57] <okaasan> it just went to a blank screen
[08:58] <yit41> hold on
[08:58] <_Net> 0777* Sorry.
[08:58] <ljzmcm> yit41: thanks =)
[08:58] <okaasan> And it's lame cause if I could get at the xorg.conf that's killing it, I'm sure I could fix it
[08:58] <_Net> Dr_Willis: I did chgrp root <foldername> and I made sure my user is in the group root but didnt fix it
[08:58] <_Net> I'll try chown
[08:58] <BonezAU> what is the ubuntu off-topic channel called?
[08:58] <adam7> !ot > BonezAU
[08:58] <drivetrax> okaasan,  if you can get to a terminal prompt in bash.. then gedit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and paste it at pastebin.ca
[08:58] <_Net> ubuntu-offtopic
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> _Net,  i dont really mess with groups. 777 would let anyone of any group access it. very unsecure. :)
[08:59] <okaasan> I can get to a term now, but this is the default one that xfix (from recovery mode) uses
[08:59] <wirechief__> !flash
[08:59] <yit41> ljzmcm: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140085 << this might help you
[08:59] <_Net> Dr_Willis: Im trying to make it so I can read and write into my lampp server.
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> The pastebinit command is VERY handy  for pasteing files.  sudo apt-get install pastebinit    then 'cat file | pastebinit'
[08:59] <okaasan> Whatever happens after I enable restricted drivers is completely inaccessable cause all options lead to a black screen
[08:59] <adam7> _Net: did you log out/in after adding yourself to the group?
[08:59] <_Net> adam7: no.
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> _Net,  Theres very likely a more proper way of doing this. then changing modes :)
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> I dont use lamp - so cant say any more.
[09:00] <_Net> Dr_Willis: I've looked.
[09:00] <BonezAU> w00t choice as aye bro
[09:00] <adam7> _Net: I think you need to do that in order to add the group
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> when altering groups you MUSt logout/backin to get the change to take effect

[09:01] <anolis> anyone know of a good distro of linux to put on a tablet pc?
[09:01] <okaasan> drivetrax: I know, and I'm enough of a console geek that I think I could fix it, however, as soon as I enable restricted drivers, my computer basically locks down
[09:01] <adam7> drivetrax: okaasan: try sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.borked
[09:01] <adam7> drivetrax: okaasan: then reboot
[09:01] <yit41> ljzmcm: yeah, that link
[09:01] <DrDerek> I lost the game
[09:01] <okaasan> as soon as it gets to the part where X shoudl start, no matter WHAT I do I get a blank screen
[09:01] <egc> adam7: i suggest u bring it up w/ him ;)
[09:01] <ljzmcm> yit41: kk gonna give it a run thanks =)
[09:01] <okaasan> unless I run in recovery mode and do xfix
[09:01] <okaasan> which replaces it with teh default
[09:01] <okaasan> does xfix back up the broken one?
[09:02] <drivetrax> adam7,  yes.. wanted to see.. if the old xorg.conf showed changed drivers/devices
[09:02] <_Net> Anyone see anything wrong here: sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc.local
[09:02] <adam7> drivetrax: okaasan: moving the xorg.conf so there isn't one will make Hardy create a new one
[09:02] <adam7> (that works)
[09:02] <drivetrax> (YES)
[09:02] <drivetrax> but, look at the old one
[09:02] <adam7> _Net: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local :)
[09:02] <drivetrax> and see what happened
[09:02] <_Net> Thank you.
[09:02] <okaasan> adam7: Yeah, but it'll create a default vesa one, right?
[09:03] <okaasan> What I need is the broken nvidia one to see what the problem is and solve it
[09:03] <adam7> okaasan: yeah, and then use the hardware manager to setup the nvidia
[09:03] <thijs> Erm i found now the file but i cant change annything in it :X
[09:03] <drivetrax> okaasan,  -- if you can use the new xorg.conf it makes.. then remove the restricted drivers, DISABLE them

[09:04] <okaasan> Xfix should back it up...
[09:04]  * okaasan checks
[09:05] <adam7> _Net: there's your problem -- sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
[09:05] <drivetrax> okaasan,  advice: use the drivers ubuntu has for your card.. no multiversed restricted.. until you determine
[09:05] <_Net> adam7: maybe sudo apt-get install gksudo or something, I havent seen gksudo before
[09:05] <adam7> okaasan: removing the xorg.conf with the mv command I showed you above, and then starting ubuntu will reset xorg.conf to the default, then use the hardware manager to add the nvidia support -- it should work
[09:05] <adam7> _Net: I don't think you need to use a gksudo/sudo command because you're already as root
[09:05] <adam7> _Net: gksudo is for gtk programs, ie ones with GUIs
[09:06] <yit41> i'm on gnome-look and it has several cats. which one? is it GTK or GDM?

[09:08] <_Net> Depends.
[09:08] <adam7> _Net: yeah, since its root you'll have to use nano -- if you just use sudo from a normal prompt, you can use gedit
[09:08] <crdlb> bullgard4: when it's doing a file count for the Properties window
[09:09] <adam7> _Net: for instance, press alt+f2, and type gksudo gedit /etc/rc.locla

[09:09] <connor> #compiz
[09:09] <crdlb> bullgard4: apparently, it used to follow symlinks, so it would go into a continuous loop (there's a launchpad bug report in the google results for that changelog line)
[09:09] <Goetmet> i mean, the principal part, i dont understand it

[09:11] <BonezAU> lol
[09:11] <LegoMinifig> Isn't Mint like Ubuntu?
[09:11] <Starnestommy> LegoMinifig: it is based on ubuntu, but it is NOT ubuntu
[09:11] <ikonia> LegoMinifig: like is not the same
[09:11] <Baby_Shambl3s> can someone give me the command for ~/ in terminal, I want it to pop out as a window?
[09:11] <adam7> LegoMinifig: no idea, all I know is this the Ubuntu support channel, not the Mint one :)
[09:11] <LegoMinifig> I am not asking bout Mint, I am asking for the program name I need to change the monitor.
[09:11] <adam7> dpreacher: go to Appearance in Preferences, and then Desktop font, I suppose
[09:12] <ikonia> LegoMinifig: your asking about how to do it on mint, contact mint support
[09:12] <LegoMinifig> I cannot change resolution.
[09:12] <adam7> Neither can we.
[09:12] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  On my nautilus desktop, I see icons for ~/*, not ~/Desktop/*;  I know this happened as a consequence of me tweaking *some* config option (probably with gconf-editor), but I don't remember which, and now I want to revert.  How do I change back to ~/Desktop/*?
[09:12] <okaasan> so in order to get hardy to make a new xorg.conf do I need to reboot or will killing X do the trick?
[09:12] <adam7> LegoMinifig: in Ubuntu, you would go to System -> Admin -> Screens and change the res
[09:12] <bullgard4> crdlb: Before I do a thorough research for that Launchpad bug report, please tell me why do have files to be counted for a Properties window.
[09:12] <ikonia> jonaskoelker: it will be the icon path
[09:13] <crdlb> bullgard4: sorry, I don't follow
[09:13] <bullgard4> crdlb: "10:09 <     crdlb> bullgard4: when it's doing a file count for the Properties window."
[09:13] <jonaskoelker> ikonia: ... okay; where do I find it?
[09:14] <ikonia> jonaskoelker: I don't know, it's a big database, look through it
[09:14] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s: I'm not sure what you want to do, but try $ nautilus ~/
[09:14] <dpreacher> adam7: thanks :)
[09:14] <jonaskoelker> ikonia: "look through it" - yes, but where is it?
[09:14] <Smegzor> I have a fresh install of Hardy and I'm unable to start Synaptic for some reason.  It says launching administrative app (or something) for a bit but that goes away.  Any idea whats going on?
[09:14] <ikonia> jonaskoelker: open gconf-editor
[09:14] <adam7> jonaskoelker: I think gconf-editor has a search thingy too
[09:15] <chris_420> i got a quick emerald question
[09:15] <crdlb> bullgard4: there's no automatic way to get the full size and file count of a directory, so when you open Properties on a directory, it recurses through the directory and calculates it
[09:15] <ikonia> Smegzor: please open a terminal and as a test do "sudo apt-get update", you should get a warning about a hostname not being able to resolve
[09:15] <Smegzor> I have seen that warning a few times already
[09:15] <jonaskoelker> ahhh... desktop_is_home_dir
[09:15] <ikonia> jonaskoelker: it shouldn't be
[09:15] <Smegzor> what is the fix?
[09:15] <chris_420> okay when i open emerald and pick a them double click it what ever... nothing happens... i open terminal hit emerald --replace it works perfectly.... until i close terminal... then i have no title bar
[09:15] <olrrai> do u know how to chanche the start session back color?
[09:16] <okaasan> Okay
[09:16] <olrrai> *change
[09:16] <ikonia> Smegzor: ok, you need to boot into recovery mode from your grub menu and drop into a "root shell". once in there edit /etc/hosts and add your machine hostname to a local host ip addres (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[09:16] <ikonia> Smegzor: does that make sense ?
[09:16] <okaasan> I ditched my xorg.conf and hardy gave me the EXACT same one I used to have
[09:16] <crdlb> chris_420: so put it in System > Preferences > Sessions > Autostart
[09:16] <okaasan> the "it works but it uses the OSS driver instead of the nvidia one" xorg.conf
[09:16] <Smegzor> yes.  I recall doing this before on my main box.  Is this a bug?
[09:16] <ikonia> Smegzor: yes this is a bug
[09:16] <oswald> im new here
[09:16] <chris_420> crdlb okay ill try it....

[09:17] <asizemore> oh lord, lagggg
[09:17] <mattgyver83> Hi room, what is the purpose of the input.h file?
[09:17] <su-hoens`rZ> can anyone help me install libboost-signals-dev ?
[09:17] <drivetrax> okaasan,  - yah.. I have ATI.. metacity controlled
[09:17] <ikonia> mattgyver83: they are c++ header giles
[09:17] <ikonia> file
[09:17] <ikonia> su-hoens`rZ: what is the problem ?
[09:17] <oswald> im in a vaio fz series
[09:17] <okaasan> drivetrax: How'd you get it to use the fglrx driver or whatever then?
[09:17] <oswald> and i want to use my webcam
[09:17] <oswald> in amsn
[09:17] <su-hoens`rZ> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[09:17] <su-hoens`rZ> libboost-signals-dev: Depends: libboost-dev (= 1.33.1-9ubuntu3.1) but 1.34.1-4ubuntu3 is to be installed
[09:17] <drivetrax> okaasan,  we ripped mine out..
[09:18] <okaasan> and this pisses me off not cause it's broken, but that I have no means to fix it. I might as well be running windows
[09:18] <su-hoens`rZ> ikonia: i typed something else by my paste took it away. that's annoying, anyway that's the error i get when trying to install it
[09:18] <chris_420> thank you now im a try it out
[09:18] <chris_420> ttyl
[09:18] <olrrai> do u know how to change the first start session back color?
[09:18] <Baby_Shambl3s> jonaskoelker: i'm going to try that because im using fluxbox in ubuntu "freaking awsome" everytime I want to look at my home I ahve to type nautilus in terminal but that messes things up as it brings forward gnome but looking at youtube videos it is possible to call forward ~/ without gnome. well thats what i want to do
[09:18] <ikonia> su-hoens`rZ: try installing libboost-dev
[09:18] <okaasan> If I can't get this fixed tonight, it's back to gentoo or debian in the morning
[09:18] <su-hoens`rZ> ikonia i did
[09:18] <ikonia> okaasan: please mind the language
[09:18] <su-hoens`rZ> ikonia like 5 times
[09:18] <ikonia> su-hoens`rZ: and what happened
[09:18] <oswald> eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[09:18] <drivetrax> pkka very helpful in #compiz-fusion.. this sort of thing
[09:18] <su-hoens`rZ> absolutely nothing?
[09:18] <oswald> please
[09:18] <su-hoens`rZ> the same error message?
[09:18] <okaasan> ikonia: sorry
[09:18] <oswald> somebody knows how to fix a webacam
[09:18] <ikonia> su-hoens`rZ: please put the error message for installing libboost-dev in a pastebin please.
[09:19] <drivetrax> okaasan,  - very helpful in #compiz-fusion..
[09:19] <oswald> the factis
[09:19] <punix-03> hai
[09:19] <su-hoens`rZ> ikonia there was no error message for libboost-dev. It installed fine. I keep getting the error message for anything under it though (i.e. signals, iostreams, date-time, etc)
[09:19] <_musso> is there a way to   copy all the text from a file   from within   vi
[09:19] <su-hoens`rZ> and i'm about to throw the computer out the window
[09:19] <ikonia> su-hoens`rZ: I haven't seen that error message
[09:19] <_musso> thats the only editor i have on this shell
[09:19] <ikonia> su-hoens`rZ: does dpkg -l show libboost-dev.
[09:20] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s: ... apt-cache search file manager; install some other non-gnome file manager...
[09:20] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s: unless you're attached to nautilus, of course :)
[09:20] <su-hoens`rZ> ikonia: yes, at version 1.34.1-4ubuntu3
[09:20] <amfibian__> is this where i come if i need help?
[09:20] <drivetrax> amfibian__,  for Ubuntu
[09:20] <ikonia> amfibian__: sure
[09:20] <Dr_willis> amfibian__,  theres also the forums on the ubuntu web site
[09:20] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s: exactly what happens that constitutes "brings forward gnome"?
[09:21] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s: it sets the desktop wallpaper and puts icons on your desktop?
[09:21] <ikonia> jonaskoelker: the first launch of nautlius will launch gnome desktop
[09:21] <amfibian__> ive been on the forums and im pretty frustrated ;)
[09:21] <Baby_Shambl3s> jonaskoelker: yup
[09:21] <drivetrax> i like the how-to-forge website
[09:21] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s: (try gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop = false)
[09:21] <ikonia> amfibian__: ask your question calmly, factually and politly and we'll help
[09:21] <su-hoens`rZ> how do i install an older version of a package using apt-get?
[09:21] <ikonia> su-hoens`rZ: apt-get remove
[09:21] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s: that's not a command, that's... open up gconf-editor, navigate, ...
[09:21] <chazco> Hi... I've been having fonts issues, mostly with Bon Echo. Iive installed Firefox from its offical site and it seems to have fixed it (still not quite as good as Ubuntu appearance wise, may be cleartype or something)... is there any particular reason for using Bon Echo or is it safe to run FF?
[09:21] <Dr_willis> !pin
[09:22] <jonaskoelker> su-hoens`rZ: apt-get install <package>=<version-number>
[09:22] <Baby_Shambl3s> jonaskoelker: thanx will try, will tell you the results in a sec
[09:23] <amfibian__> ok i just want to get my wireless connection back, i tried to compile a new ieee80211 driver and i couldnt get it to complie and now it wont go back to how i had it before
[09:23] <ikonia> amfibian__: why did you compile a new driver ?
[09:23] <ikonia> amfibian__: what was the old driver you where using ?
[09:23] <ikonia> amfibian__: what point did the compile file, did you install anything ?
[09:23] <amfibian__> same driver just a newer version
[09:23] <ikonia> amfibian__: why ?
[09:23] <bullgard4> crdlb: Thank you very much for explaining.
[09:23] <Baby_Shambl3s> jonaskoelker: beautiful just how its supposed to look in fluxbox :D
[09:24] <Baby_Shambl3s> jonaskoelker: thanx for the help
[09:24] <amfibian__> i wanted to use the injecting feature of aircrack
[09:24] <ikonia> jonaskoelker: that gconf setting is very useful, thank you also
[09:24] <ikonia> amfibian__: ahh so you where trying to do cracking
[09:25] <amfibian__> well now i just want to get things back to where they were
[09:25] <ikonia> amfibian__: in that case I'm backing away from supporting you
[09:25] <amfibian__> ok then thanks anyways
[09:25] <ikonia> no problem
[09:25] <drivetrax> good command is remove
[09:25] <drivetrax> next command is re-install
[09:25] <ikonia> drivetrax: there is no such command as "remove"
[09:26] <drivetrax> hahaha. I know
[09:26] <ikonia> drivetrax: why are you just saying random commandds ?
[09:26] <ikonia> drivetrax: please stop, miss-leading advice is not nice and it's not clever
[09:26] <su-hoens`rZ> finally
[09:26] <su-hoens`rZ> only took 2 hours
[09:26] <su-hoens`rZ> but it's finally compiling
[09:26] <su-hoens`rZ> amazing
[09:27] <drivetrax> ikonia,  I doubt I mislead anyone.. and I wouldn't help with cracks neither, but.. song remains the same.. eh
[09:27] <ikonia> drivetrax: annouoncing false/usless commands to a room - is miss-leading help. Please don't
[09:29] <jonaskoelker> Baby_Shambl3s, ikonia: you're welcome :)
[09:29] <drivetrax> twice.. misleading.. is used.. hmmm. okay
[09:29] <jonaskoelker> and I fixed my issue: ed ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[09:29] <ikonia> drivetrax: just don't do it please, instead of trying to defend it
[09:29] <drivetrax> I ain't gotta defend a useless comment.. dude
[09:30] <ikonia> drivetrax: great, so don't do it
[09:30] <kuahara> Are there things Ubuntu can not do if I have it installed on a vm that it would do if it was installed as the host os on a separate partition?
[09:30] <gordonjcp> ikonia: how do you know that amfibian__ didn't have a legitimate reason for wanting to use aircrack's packet injection?
[09:30] <drivetrax> ... song remains tha same.. eh
[09:30] <ikonia> gordonjcp: I didn't, I chose not to support it
[09:30] <ikonia> kuahara: performance and direct hardware access are the core things
[09:30] <gordonjcp> ikonia: if you can't there's plenty of other people who can
[09:31] <gordonjcp> ikonia: way to give someone a good impression
[09:31] <ikonia> gordonjcp: if I can't what ?
[09:31] <DrMitch> i tried doing: sudo visudo  and adding "%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" but i still have to enter a sudo password every 5 minutes. I am part of sudo group. and I KNOW it's a safety risk, but i'm the only one that uses this computer and ssh is disabled. any clue why i still need a PW?
[09:31] <kuahara> how will being on a vm impede performance?
[09:31] <ikonia> kuahara: it won't impede it, thats not a fair term, but it will not be quite as good as running on the native hardware, especially on lower spec'd home user kit
[09:31] <gordonjcp> kuahara: there will be a certain amount of overhead for running the host OS, and also the VM will not be communicating directly with hardware
[09:32] <asizemore> oh, okay
[09:32] <vallhalla81> !dvd
[09:32] <asizemore> there we go
[09:32] <jonaskoelker> kuahara: also, it's easier to give raw access to cpu and ram than disk, so it also depends on the application
[09:32] <gordonjcp> DrMitch: what does the % mean at the start of the line?
[09:33] <asizemore> I need help with skype, when I listen to music and all that good stuff, I get stereo in my headset, but when I'm on skype, it only sends the left channel
[09:33] <kuahara> what do you mean by lower spec'd home user kit?
[09:33] <DrMitch> i think that's for groups of sudo as opposed to user "sudo"
[09:33] <asizemore> does anyone know how to fix this?
[09:33] <gordonjcp> DrMitch: correct
[09:33] <gordonjcp> DrMitch: are you in the sudo group?
[09:33] <ikonia> kuahara: home user kit is not as "setup" for the more advanced enterprise hardware
[09:33] <DrMitch> yes
[09:34] <kuahara> enterprise hardware such as?
[09:34] <gordonjcp> DrMitch: since adding yourself to the group have you logged out and logged back in again?
[09:34] <ikonia> kuahara: more expensive enterprise hardware
[09:34] <jonaskoelker> kuahara: more ram, faster cpu; or the IBM z9000
[09:34] <DrMitch> i'm logged out, restarted, restarted, restarted, logged out, logged out again
[09:34] <gordonjcp> kuahara: there's more to "good quality" servers than just big chunky power supplies and hot-swap drives
[09:34] <jonaskoelker> (kuahara: ... which is basically just a really big box that costs really big money)
[09:34] <drivetrax> kuahara,  -- if I set up a video editing software on my home pc.. with what I have, vs.. all top of the line fully loaded machine.. which runs better?
[09:34] <kuahara> am using an E8400 OC'd from 3.0 to 3.6GHz, 4GB of PC6400 memory, 2x 9600GT's
[09:35] <DrMitch> ~$ groups user adm dialout cdrom floppy sudo audio dip video plugdev scanner fuse lpadmin admin mythtv sambashare vboxusers
[09:35] <ikonia> kuahara: thats a cpu - thats not enterprise hardare
[09:35] <kuahara> my SLi rig was in the top 1% of machines ranked at nvidia club sli
[09:35] <ikonia> kuahara: thats "home user" kit
[09:35] <ikonia> kuahara: I suggest we take this to ubuntu-offtopic please
[09:35] <gordonjcp> kuahara: that sounds more like a desktop machine than a server
[09:35] <kuahara> gordon it is
[09:36] <kuahara> I have an IBM server sitting on my dresser
[09:36] <gordonjcp> kuahara: I mean, VMs will work on it
[09:36] <gordonjcp> kuahara: I'm not sure what you'd gain by it
[09:36] <kuahara> but I consider it to be lower end by comparison
[09:36] <gordonjcp> servers tend not to have high end graphics cards ;-)
[09:36] <gordonjcp> or even any graphics card at all
[09:37] <kuahara> was actually going to turn it into a WoW private server for the heck of it, but really not sure... I might just throw it away
[09:37] <kuahara> I don't have any practical use for it
[09:37] <ikonia> kuahara: can we take it to #ubuntu-offtopic channel please.
[09:37] <LeeetSweden> anyone who can helpme with the Language-support for Hardy?
[09:37] <gordonjcp> kuahara: stick it on your local freecycle list ;-)
[09:37] <vallhalla81> !ubuntu studio
[09:37] <ikonia> kuahara: this isn't really a support dicussion and it looks like there is plenty of room for dicussion on it
[09:37] <LeeetSweden> I only got English Supported LAnguage
[09:37] <LaneLimited> Please can someone tell me how to extract this file?? Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past.7z

[09:43] <loulouloulou> hey all using gem install rails..it just stays there and does nothing I checked using jnettop
[09:43] <kuahara> During installation, I am asked how I would like to prepare disk space.  Guided or manual.   Under guided, it says I can use entire disk and indicates that it will be preparing 16.1GB.  The disk space I alloted when I creted this vm was 15GB.  Is it going to jack up the partition the vm is sitting on?
[09:44] <ashkezar> hi
[09:44] <ashkezar> i have a quastion
[09:44] <kuahara> thanks for warning us!

[09:48] <MohammadBoozary> dingdangdong, oki
[09:48] <gordonjcp> soundf_: Q6600?
[09:48] <soundf_> intel quadcore
[09:48] <Jenxie> !ask
[09:49] <kuahara> soundf:  the q6600 is a 64 bit cpu, but weather you have a 64 bit system or not depends on if you installed a 64 bit os
[09:49] <ashkezar> i want to get an account for IRC chat , what i can?
[09:49] <soundf_> i know, because of that i told what os i have
[09:49] <kuahara> soundf_  what are you asking
[09:49] <soundf_> and i ask if it is 64bit os
[09:50] <soundf_> if my os is 64bit
[09:50] <bcroubcose> sorry bout that (computer froze up) is anyone still wiling tto help with my oroblem?
[09:50] <kuahara> only you would know that
[09:50] <kuahara> did you install the 64 bit version of whatever os you are using?
[09:50] <soundf_> i dont know.. thats what im asking. thats my os:  Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011
[09:51] <dingdangdong> while tryin " sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.410_all.deb", I get the error -->  dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 241 package `kino':

[09:51] <gordonjcp> bcroubcose: did you try installing what I said?
[09:51] <Jenxie> ubottu, ati > me
[09:52] <bcroubcose> i didnt evin see what you sayd (my ps froze)
[09:52] <bcroubcose> pc
[09:52] <gordonjcp> bcroubcose: try installing flashplugin-nonfree from the repos
[09:53] <soundf_> I downloaded Ubuntu from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[09:53] <bcroubcose> sudo apt-get install???
[09:53] <soundf_> i chose " Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)"
[09:53] <kuahara> x86 is not 64 bit
[09:53] <soundf_> because the option: " 64bit AMD and Intel computers" is actually only for AMD
[09:54] <soundf_> so i dont have 64?
[09:54] <kuahara> if you have x86, you have the 32 bit version
[09:54] <soundf_> my CPU is Q6600
[09:54] <kuahara> ...
[09:54] <soundf_> it's 32?
[09:54] <anolis> ...
[09:55] <bcroubcose> i just tryed it.. i guess its installed
[09:55] <bcroubcose> already
[09:55] <anolis> soundf_, you need to get the 64bit version of ubuntu to be able to utilize your 64bit processor, otherwise it falls back to 32bit mode
[09:55] <kuahara> soundf_  your cpu is capable of handling 64 OS's and applications.  Your OS, if you downloaded / installed the x86 version, is a 32 bit os
[09:55] <Jenxie> hi every1, anyone knows where i can find info about getting hdmi to work with ati drivers on a x1250 intergrated card?
[09:56] <Baby_Shambl3s> im running ubuntu with fluxbox, I have xcompmgr running as composite with commands -n -C -f -F even knwoing windows are now transparent with composite I cnat get it to work for AWN or even cairo-dock, can soemone help me fix this? also why doesnt cairo-compmgr even work if I try it it makes ny screen flash black and nothign happens?
[09:56] <kuahara> the Q6600 is quite capable of handling both the x86 and x64 bit OS's
[09:56] <LaneLimited> Please can someone tell me how to extract this file?? Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past.7z
[09:56] <babolat> bcroubcose, people in here would find it easier if your messages were in one line if they're supposed to be one sentence
[09:56] <Daremonai> the weirdest thing just happened, my user on my ftp server stopped working, it's the same user i logged into ubuntu with, i put same username/password in ftp, it tells me "Login Incorrect" (using proftpd)
[09:56] <kwtm> I want to write a script that goes into a .deb file (which I guess is just like a zip/tar/bz2 file) and copy some file to another location (outside the .deb file).  If the file inside the MyDeb.deb file is dir1/dir2/myfile (for example), how do I copy it to ~/mydir/myfile?
[09:56] <kuahara> the x86 version you have will not run x64 apps
[09:56] <kuahara> can't think of more ways to answer that question
[09:56] <bcroubcose> your rught
[09:57] <johey> Hello!
[09:57] <soundf_> ok, but intel Q6600 is 64bit proccessor, right?
[09:57] <anolis> this is stupid.. i am being forced to use windows.. because linux tablet pc support (apparently) is next to none.
[09:57] <kuahara> yes
[09:57] <kwtm> I should clarify: what console command can I give to copy a file within a .deb file to an ordinary directory?
[09:57] <babolat> !tablet | anolis
[09:57] <babolat> well
[09:58] <vallhalla81> !u
[09:58] <anolis> !mom
[09:58] <johey> Which version of xorg is really installed with Hardy Heron? 1.4.x or 7.3.x?
[09:58] <babolat> !fishing | anolis babolat
[09:58] <crdlb> johey: they're the same thing
[09:58] <johey> crdlb: Oh. That explains my confusion. :)
[09:58] <bcroubcose> ahhhh! never mind! problem fixed
[09:59] <anolis> oh you can send a fish at me but when you fish for tablet..
[09:59] <anolis> lol
[09:59] <crdlb> johey: since 7.0, Xorg uses a modular packaging system. The version of the whole thing is 7.3, but the xorg server (ie xserver-xorg-core) is 1.4
[09:59] <mattgyver83> does anyone know anything about keymapping?
[09:59] <johey> crdlb: Ah ok. Thanks!
[09:59] <Tsakos> hi all
[09:59] <Tsakos> :)
[09:59] <bullgard4> The right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[09:59] <DanielRM> What parameters would I need to use to make wget download only from external sites linked to on a page?
[10:00] <void^> soundf_: yes.
[10:00] <LaneLimited> Please can someone tell me how to extract this file?? Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past.7z.. What program do I need... I heard ubuntu had a 7zip open source ?? what does this mean? How do I Install it? I already installed Xarchive manager.. it didn't seem to work unless you know how to get it to work... I am trying to extract a .7z file.. Please help me, thank you!
[10:00] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: b7zip
[10:00] <johey> I have an ATi card, which should be supported by the free radeon driver. However, lsmod shows that radeon is not loaded. Which driver is really loaded, and how can I switch to the radeon driver?
[10:00] <kwtm> DanielRM: Do you mean that you want the opposite of --span-servers (or something like that), in that you DON'T want pages that are on the same server, only pages that are on different servers?
[10:01] <crdlb> johey: what card is it?
[10:01] <void^> LaneLimited: p7zip. did you know you can search the repositories?
[10:01] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: Do I need to install b7zip then?
[10:01]  * anolis gives up on ubuntu
[10:01] <Jenxie> anyone that can point me to a webpage about ati drivers and hdmi to get it working?
[10:01] <johey> crdlb:  ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP]
[10:01] <DanielRM> kwtm: yes. I'm trying to download screenshots of desktops on external hosting sites that people have done on a forum thread.
[10:01] <soundf_> damn but when i chose "64bit AMD and Intel computers" in the ubuntu download page it says "Computer Platform: amd64"
[10:01] <GIn> hi, when I double click on a torrent file, my mouse pointer remains busy for awhile though the torrent is already open in Deluge. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?
[10:01] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: Yes.
[10:01] <LaneLimited> void^: I don't know what you mean about repos
[10:02] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: However, just look in Add/Remove.
[10:02] <bcroubcose> bye, and thanx for the help to the helpful ones for the acknowledgment.
[10:02] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: 7zip is there.
[10:02] <void^> soundf_: that's the name of the platform. 64bit intel cpus are amd64 compatible.
[10:02] <crdlb> soundf_: AMD just beat intel to it, so they got to design it
[10:02] <void^> LaneLimited: search for 7zip in synaptics or using apt-cache.
[10:02] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: Thanks... i just looked in syntac manager... Forgot about add/remove.
[10:02] <kwtm> DanielRM: I think you can use --span-hosts --exclude-domains original.domain.com
[10:02] <bcroubcose> ~Later
[10:02] <Baby_Shambl3s> im running ubuntu with fluxbox, I have xcompmgr running as composite with commands -n -C -f -F even knwoing windows are now transparent with composite I cnat get it to work for AWN or even cairo-dock, can anyone help me with this problem?
[10:02] <DanielRM> kwtm: Thanks. I'll give it a try. :)
[10:02] <kwtm> This lets wget: a) go to different hosts, and b) ignore the original host it's on.
[10:03] <kwtm> DanielRM: I never tried it, but it comes to mind.  man wget for more options, of course.
[10:03] <Bert_2> hi, I used to have a command to get the names of all my installed packages, but I forgot it, anyone got any idea what it was ?
[10:03] <crdlb> johey: that card isn't particularly well-supported by the radeon driver (compiz won't work and other 3d things will work poorly), 2d is fine though
[10:03] <soundf_> damn so i need to delete my os and install the 64bit..
[10:03] <crdlb> johey: if you really want to use it, you just need to get rid of the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx)
[10:03] <DanielRM> kwtm: I looked through the man page but didn't see anything which looked to be of value. On the other hand, I'm a bit slow this morning - it probably is there.
[10:04] <johey> crdlb: According to http://free3d.org/, this card is tested and working with the radeon driver. One reports DRI is working with Xorg 7.2.0 and one with DRI nonworking with Xorg 1.3.0. That is why I asked about the version.
[10:04] <Vikketor1> If I uppgrade to hardy do I have to set up everything again (like a clean install) or can i save my settings somehow?
[10:04] <kwtm> I want to write a script that goes into a .deb file (which I guess is just like a zip/tar/bz2 file) and copy some file to another location (outside the .deb file).  If the file inside the MyDeb.deb file is dir1/dir2/myfile (for example), what console/script command can I use to copy it to ~/mydir/myfile?
[10:04] <Dr_willis> Vikketor1,  depends on what settings you mean. Upgrade should save most all settings
[10:05] <kwtm> Vikketor1: You should not have to set up everything again, although backups are always a good idea.
[10:05] <Vikketor1> ok
[10:05] <johey> crdlb: Oh, but fglrx is not loaded. I have not installed any restricted packages. This is a totally fresh installation of Hardy Heron.
[10:05] <void^> kwtm: you can extract debs using dpkg-deb.
[10:05] <Vikketor1> ok
[10:05] <johey> crdlb: It must be another driver.
[10:05] <crdlb> johey: half the people report No for DRI because it's barely supported
[10:05] <benja> wuenas
[10:05] <kwtm> void^: Thank you!  Could I name a specific package within a deb file to be extracted by dpkg-deb?  I'm going to check the man page right now...
[10:06] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: What do  I search inside add/remove to find this program.... i typed 7zip and b7zip.... what is the name of it... Are you sure it's there...
[10:06] <johey> crdlb: Neither radeon nor fglrx is loaded. Is it vesa or fbdevice?
[10:06] <crdlb> johey: check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:06] <johey> crdlb: Oh, of course. Thanks.
[10:06] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: Do you have all the repositories enabled?
[10:06] <crdlb> johey: it's possible to use either radeon or fglrx without the kernel module
[10:06] <crdlb> (just with no DRI)
[10:06] <void^> kwtm: you'll probably have to extract the entire archive.. though i'm sure there is some way
[10:06] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: Probly not since i don't know what those are
[10:06] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: please help me
[10:07] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: Of course I will. That's the point of Ubuntu - there's a community.
[10:07] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: ty
[10:07] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: Repositories are just online databases of packages which your package managers connect to and use to download and update from.
[10:07] <aLeSD> hi all
[10:08] <johey> crdlb: Hm. Strange. It claims it loads the radeon driver, but lsmod does not show it.
[10:08] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: so when/if you tell me how to enable these, I should enable them all?
[10:08] <aLeSD> how can I change the mapping of the keyboard for all the system? I changed from a spanish keyboard to english one
[10:08] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: I think I MIGHT have been to the screen..... let me see
[10:08] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: you can configure them in software sources in System - Administration, but for the moment you just need to go into Add/Remove again and at the top change the drop-down menu from Supported apps to All available
[10:09] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: thanks
[10:09] <crdlb> johey: pastebin the Xorg.0.log, and check dmesg for relevant errors
[10:09] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: then you should be able to find 7zip, and it'll ask you if want to enable the other sources than the default when you apply the changes.
[10:09] <bullgard1> My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[10:10] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: yes i see 7zip.. but i don't understand what you just said
[10:10] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: just install it. It'll ask you if want to enable the other sources when you click apply, to which you should answer yes.
[10:11] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: alright im instlaling...I think i have the check boxes checked inside source .. w/e.... should i have the third party tab check boxes checked i guess?
[10:11] <shayan> hi babys :D
[10:11] <test> anyone here experienced with red5 installation?
[10:12] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: it's often useful, but not required.
[10:12] <Jenxie> anyone that can point me to a webpage about ati drivers and hdmi to get it working?
[10:12] <johey> crdlb: http://johansvensson.eu/~johey/tmp/Xorg.0.log
[10:13] <Jenxie> i get blackscreen on hdmi with the drivers. the dvi works.. hdmi works without the drivers
[10:13] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: Ok i am in open my file with.... I don't see 7zip as a choice and it did not show up on my menu... how can i rrun this program to extract my file... alt+f2 7zip ?? I'm not sure where my files go
[10:13] <urlwolf> anyone here using the fish shell?
[10:14] <crdlb> johey: (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering not officially supported on RN50/RC410/R600
[10:14] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: unlike on Windows, I don't think 7Zip has a graphical interface on Linux. Just try right-clicking the file and choosing to extract it.
[10:14] <crdlb> johey: this should improve in Intrepid because ATI released full 3d specifications for their cards though
[10:15] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: alright it worked.. thanks a lot!! Very good information.
[10:15] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: Heh, just seen the filename you said you were trying to extract. Reliving a few memories from the SNES age?
[10:16] <johey> crdlb: Strange that some people report it working then... :/
[10:16] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: I beat this game so many times... LoL
[10:16] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: :) Goodo.
[10:16] <Mr_SpOOn[nonciso> Hi, I have a strange problem with audio. When I open some video in Firefox, then I can't play mp3s or movies on regular players (vlc, amarok, quodlibet, totem). They just crashes. I have to close Firefox and re-open them. Is it normal? What can I do?
[10:16] <Baby_Shambl3s> im running ubuntu with fluxbox, I have xcompmgr running as composite with commands -n -C -f -F even knwoing windows are now transparent with composite I cnat get it to work for AWN or even cairo-dock, can anyone help me with this problem?
[10:16] <crdlb> johey: it'll only work (poorly) with the very latest code, but it's just not worth it yet
[10:17] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: Do you play any emulators?
[10:17] <johey> crdlb: Ok. Have ATi solved their rights issues for the release of the full specifications and free drivers yet?
[10:17] <svein> when i try to enter www.ubuntuguides.com my x restarts:/
[10:18] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: a few. I still run some N64 games occasionally, and I have a PS1 emulator just to play Final Fantasy IX.
[10:18] <Baby_Shambl3s> svein: wow extreme never seen that
[10:18] <crdlb> johey: yep, there was never really a legal issue with releasing the specs. It's just the drivers themselves that use code they don't have full rights to
[10:18] <svein> i know, it wierd.. and i have no idea what cause it
[10:18] <raboof> when I start graveman, it outputs 'mp3' as a supported file format, but it doesn't allow me to add mp3 files to an audio cd
[10:18] <raboof> what might be wrong?
[10:19] <raboof> I have libid3tag0 installed
[10:19] <johey> crdlb: Oh, really?! So, we can expect free drivers in a near future then? :)
[10:19] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: What n64 emulator do you use?
[10:20] <crdlb> johey: as soon as the DRI developers get them working :)
[10:20] <power> yall ok in here
[10:20] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: Mupen64. It's a pain to get working and I miss Project64 from Windows, but I'm not using a VM just for N64 games and WINE doesn't seem to support it too well.
[10:20] <johey> crdlb: Have they already got the full specs by ATi?
[10:20] <pa> that's my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86418
[10:20] <crdlb> johey: if you're curious, they have the specs hosted at http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/
[10:20] <crdlb> they don't mean much to me though :)
[10:21] <GIn> how do I remove pulseaudio? I'm sick of it
[10:21] <power> why dont ubuntu support wine
[10:21] <Daremonai> the syslog for proftp is telling me: invalid shell /bin/bash
[10:22] <kwtm> AAARGH!!  Could someone please tell me what the username and password are for CUPS when I try to access it at http://localhost:631?
[10:22] <GIn> if I try to remove pulseaudio, it also want to remove the package ubuntu-desktop
[10:22] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: I was using project64 last night... was working great ... I then was trying to get full screen to work... I got it to work perfectly so i wanted to lower my full screen resu... yes im using wine... Then now.... I cannot even play the game at all... loads the game... i see nothing but sound... I tried to uninstall and delete the folder from the virtual C:drive and reinstall.... it saves my controller settings so i know
[10:22] <LaneLimited>  it didn't completly GO AWAY... Do you know how to Start over
[10:22] <GIn> any way to force remove pulseaudio?
[10:23] <bullgard4> My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[10:23] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: I don't, sorry.
[10:23] <balle_> soo, i have decided to install xp on my machine and do that BEFORE i install ubuntu, but how do i delete ubuntu and at the same time install XP?
[10:24] <johey> crdlb: That's a very good approach, IMHO. Giving the specs to the Xorg team instead of just releasing their own free drivers. Hope we can see things happening soon.
[10:24] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: This mupen64 , is that made for ubuntu??  How can I get this?  Also, how is it a pain to get to work?
[10:24] <kuahara> why is Ubuntu saying that it is setting up a 16.1GB partition on a 15GB VM?
[10:25] <balle_> soo, i have decided to install xp on my machine and do that BEFORE i install ubuntu, but how do i delete ubuntu and at the same time install XP?
[10:25] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/09/05/what-do-you-do-when-your-girlfriend-wants-to-play-n64-games-on-linux/ should help.
[10:25] <fde> kuahara: GiB vs GB maybe?
[10:25] <balle_> soo, i have decided to install xp on my machine and do that BEFORE i install ubuntu, but how do i delete ubuntu and at the same time install XP? should i just install xp on the partiton of ubuntu or what?
[10:25] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: I just found it something of a pain to setup the plugins.
[10:25] <kuahara> does ubuntu mean GiB when it says GB?
[10:25] <haelen> Hi. I have a weird roblem with keyboard. Suddenly, I am aunable to enter any yext. I have even changed my physical laptop keyboard.
[10:25] <fde> balle_: Do it during the XP installer... partition keeping in mind Ubuntu is going on there.
[10:26] <pa> UBUNTU SUUUUUX
[10:26] <fde> !ops | pa
[10:26] <LaneLimited> DanielRM: Well thanks... i will check that out.... Im going to play some Zelda!
[10:26] <kuahara> balle_ if you have an ext3 partition set aside for ubuntu, there is a good chance that the XP installer will jack that partition unless you already have the ntfs partition for XP set aside ahead of time
[10:26] <kuahara> because it views ext3 as unallocated
[10:27] <DanielRM> LaneLimited: OK. :) See you, and hope you have a good time.
[10:27] <Myrtti> pa: behave
[10:28] <Bling> Bling
[10:28] <haelen> Can someone give me a heads up on where to start investigating no keyboard input possible?
[10:28] <balle_> kuahara: i do that, and i run ubuntu right now, and i can make the ntfs partiton with gparted, no problem. but i want to install xp FIRST then install ubuntu(because that is easier) so i have to delete ubuntu using the xp boot disc or what?
[10:28] <haelen> Obvioulsy I'm using another machine for this chat :)
[10:28] <Myrtti> fde: where's the fire?
[10:28] <kuahara> balle_ what partition is  ubuntu currently installed on
[10:28] <erUSUL> balle_: just erase your disk partition and start anew
[10:28] <fde> haelen: Does it work in terminal? What kind of keyboard is it?
[10:29] <fde> Myrtti: I thought he was going to continue trolling, I guess he got bored.
[10:29] <haelen> fde: will try terminal.
[10:29] <erUSUL> balle_: the xp installer can make partitions just set them up then on with a livecd before installing windows
[10:29] <Myrtti> fde: always try to manage the situation by yourself first
[10:29] <balle_> kuahara: ehm the / i think
[10:29] <haelen> fde: doesn't work in terminal.
[10:29] <Myrtti> fde: the floodbots take care of the flooding
[10:29] <kuahara> erUSUL if his XP installer has to create a new part and he has an ext3 part already made, XP will jack it up
[10:29] <tobylane> my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution
[10:29] <fde> haelen: How did you get to terminal?
[10:30] <haelen> fde: It's a dell laptop. Have changed keyboard too.
[10:30] <kuahara> it won't acknowledge that its there, it sees it as unallocated available space
[10:30] <fde> Myrtti: yeah, apologies, just didn't think that was going to go well.
[10:30] <haelen> fde: clicked icon in task bar.
[10:30] <johey> crdlb: Is there any packages for Hardy Heron with the bleeding edge drivers that will give some random support for DRI for my video card?
[10:30] <Myrtti> fde: np, just so you know the next time :-)
[10:30] <crdlb> johey: I don't know of any, but there very well may be
[10:30] <fde> haelen: I meant on ctrl+alt+f1 ... or booting to runlevel 1... but both will be sort of hard to do...
[10:30] <tobylane> my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution
[10:30] <balle_> kuahara: the /dev/sda3 and xp will be installed on a deleted partition being named /dev/sda8 i think
[10:31] <tobylane> what can i do
[10:31] <johey> crdlb: Or do I need to build a custom kernel, and Xorg from source?
[10:31] <johey> crdlb: Ok.
[10:31] <kuahara> balle_  what partition type is your ubuntu installation sitting on
[10:31] <balle_> kuahara ahh the ext3
[10:31] <haelen> fde: Yes it will be hard as I can't use keyboard.
[10:32] <Daremonai> how is it possible that proftpd syslogs is saying that there is no shell in /bin/bash?
[10:32] <balle_> kuahara and it is the native for this system atm. wiped the windows partition with the livecd and installed ubuntu on it
[10:32] <svein> myrtti: you caN TRY TO INSTALL VISUAL KEYBOARD MAYBE  --> gok
[10:32] <kuahara> balle_  ok, if you use gparted and create the ntfs part now, you can install windows on it, then reinstall ubuntu if thats what you are wanting to do.   If, however, you want the XP installer to create the ntfs part, then it might mess up your ext3 partition table
[10:32] <Myrtti> svein: whut?
[10:32] <tobylane> my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution, what can i do?
[10:32] <koreleone> hi ubuntu people
[10:33] <tobylane> my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution, what can i do?
[10:33] <lic0m> haelen: does the kbd work prior to booting?
[10:33] <svein> myrtti: so you can type with your mouse
[10:33] <balle_> kuahara: yes, and i have read the guides to do this, but it seems simpler just to wipe out the ubuntu part and rebuild another one from scratch after i install xp. so can i just wipe the ubuntu installation with the xp boot disc or will that mess up the mbr?
[10:34] <Myrtti> svein: I've got no idea what/why you're telling me this
[10:34] <haelen> lic0m: Not sure how to try that.
[10:34] <tobylane> my update manager isn't opening, what can i do
[10:35] <svein> myrtti: ops wrong person maybe
[10:35] <kuahara> balle_  you can delete ntfs partitions with the XP installer, thats fine.  it will automatically view the ext3 part as unallocated.  So if the ext3 is 100gb and the ntfs is 50gb, the XP installer will show you 50gb ntfs, 100gb unallocated and deleting the ntfs will give you 150gb to create a new ntfs part with
[10:36] <sarmisak> tobylane: pop a term window
[10:36] <lic0m> haelen: You must have used the keyboard to login right?
[10:36] <tobylane> how?
[10:36] <sarmisak> tobylane: type this; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade;
[10:36] <kuahara> you can then create a new ntfs part of any size, install windows, then load gparted, create a new ext3 part, and install ubuntu
[10:36] <kuahara> sounds like what you want to do
[10:36] <svein> was haelen i realy was talking to
[10:37] <tobylane> sarmisak,  where is the terminal
[10:37] <haelen> lic0m: Doh! You're right (I would have mad a good detective - not!)
[10:37] <sarmisak> tobylane: ALT+F2 > xterm
[10:37] <tobylane> ty
[10:37] <balle_> kuahara: well, i want to swipe the ext3 but xp in there instead and have another ~10 gigs for the new ubuntu on a nother partition, but can i just use the xp installer to wipe the ext3 and the swap partition without ruining the mbr?
[10:37] <balle_> kuahara: but=put
[10:38] <tobylane> sarmisak, it said i had nothing to do, but i don't have heron
[10:38] <lic0m> haelen: try cnt+alt+F2 or something at login screen (I'm assuming gdm), or see if there's an option to login to a terminal.
[10:38] <kuahara> balle_  xp will not acknowledge that the ext3 partition exists
[10:39] <haelen> lic0m: kk. brb
[10:39] <sarmisak> tobylane: what do you have?
[10:39] <tobylane> pretty sure its 7.10
[10:39] <tobylane> sarmisak,  installation disk says 5.10
[10:40] <kuahara> so if you have 50GB of ext3 part, you can go ahead and tell the XP installer to create a new 50GB ntfs part and format it.
[10:40] <tobylane> so ill go read "updating from older versions"
[10:40] <kuahara> it will never know that you had ubuntu there to begin with
[10:40] <balle_> kuahara: i thought so! so it seems i have to do the ubuntu+xp dual boot and not the other way around, or can i make ubuntu uninstall itself on reboot or something like that?
[10:40] <tobylane> but still, my updater manager isn't working
[10:40] <kuahara> or that it used to be ext3 before it changed it
[10:40] <mattgyver83> Has anyone here tried setting up a wiimote as a mouse?
[10:40] <frenchyc> i have an odd problem that my hard drives from one boot to the next will swap positions on sda and sdb
[10:41] <kuahara> balle, I installed xp first, then ubuntu
[10:41] <sarmisak> tobylane: try downloading a hardy heron ;)
[10:41] <bullgard4> My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[10:41] <balle_> kuahara: better idea, what if i install xp, then it will automatically boot itself in there right? then i could use the live cd, to make a new ubuntu install on the ext3 partition right?
[10:41] <kuahara> to be sure that xp wouldn't overwrite ubuntu if I did it the other way around
[10:41] <sarmisak> tobylane: believe me you won't get far with that disk
[10:41] <kuahara> balle_  correct
[10:41] <tobylane> sarmisak, i dont have a cd writer, can ubuntu update itself with the iso?
[10:42] <kuahara> I always try to install my MS OS's first, then linux after
[10:42] <haelen> lic0m: Ah! I think I must have selected the wrong option for "Slow Keys" (I guess it should be "DEactivate).
[10:42] <kuahara> simply because linux is more considerate of other OS's than microsoft is
[10:42] <balle_> kuahara: but do you think this: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm would be easier?
[10:42] <tobylane> more, or at all :P
[10:43] <kuahara> balle_  I haven't looked at that link yet, but I know that if you install windows first, then ubunt:  ubuntu will automatically set the dual boot up for you
[10:43] <haelen> lic0m: Thanks for the help. I've learned something new :)
[10:43] <kuahara> don't know how you can make it easier than that
[10:43] <tobylane> is there any way to update from 5.10 to 8.04 without a cd writer or waiting for shipit?
[10:43] <sarmisak> tobylane: ok, did you try apt-get update & upgrade?
[10:43] <balle_> kuahara: well yea, and the ubuntu set up is not a long one.. i will give it a go! thank you for your time!
[10:44] <tobylane> yeah, it got 0/0
[10:44] <Myrtti> tobylane: yes, there is
[10:44] <sarmisak> tobylane: ok, now try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:44] <sarmisak> it might give you a lift
[10:45] <tobylane> still says 0's
[10:45] <kuahara> balle_  ah, yes you can do what that site suggests, but you're taking 1 risk...  if you use Gparted to make a part for windows, it might see the part as a different size than what gparted created.  Thats happened to me a few times
[10:45] <fhd> hi. I'm mounting a xfs file system as my data partition. now I want all files created there to be owned by the group "files" and have the permissions rwxrwxr-x - how do I do it?
[10:45] <tobylane> Myrtti,  what do you suggest?
[10:45] <fhd> I managed to have the mall owned by the group by settings the sgid bit
[10:45] <kuahara> balle_  but I had other partition issues going on at the time that may have caused that
[10:46] <Myrtti> tobylane: I guess you'd first have to start with upgrading to dapper somehow
[10:46] <fhd> but how can I give the group write access on new files per default?
[10:46] <Myrtti> tobylane: it shouldn't be impossible to do since dapper is still supported
[10:47] <tobylane> Myrtti,  by sudo apt-get
[10:47] <GIn> any wya to install gnome 2.22.1 for gutsy?
[10:47] <Myrtti> tobylane: I'd use aptitude, but YMMV
[10:47] <acegikm1> ok so I'm trying to get my two ntfs drives to mount at the same point each time I boot, but they keep changing their names, ie one will be sdb1 one boot and sdc1 the next, anyone know what the hell is going on?
[10:47] <sarmisak> tobylane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades
[10:47] <sarmisak> tobylane: follow this, it's the official upgrade
[10:47] <tobylane> thanks
[10:48] <htaccess> hi, i have just upgrded to hardy and my mouse is no longer functioning, how do i reconfigure the mouse?
[10:49] <Ace2016> is there a way to mark a process as completely and totally unimportant and allow it to be starved of resources if another process needs it?
[10:49] <htaccess> is there a dpkg configure command i can run?
[10:49] <tobylane> sarmisak, now update manager is working, it says its up to date
[10:49] <astro76> acegikm1: use UUIDs instead
[10:49] <astro76> !uuid | acegikm1
[10:49] <Ace2016> its just a program thats stuck in a loop to cause 100% cpu
[10:49] <htaccess> or how can i access the gnome menus without a mouse, ive been randomly hitting ctrl and alt keys without much luck
[10:50] <tobylane> both partition on this computer are going wrong...
[10:50] <acegikm1> awesome, cheers
[10:50] <lic0m> htaccess: dpkg-reconfigure gpm
[10:50] <sarmisak> tobylane: have you done the things mentioned in the link?
[10:50] <bXi> hi
[10:50] <htaccess> lic0m: thanks ill try that
[10:50] <bXi> anything that i apt-get during my live cd session before install will be installed too right?
[10:51] <sarmisak> bXi: nope
[10:51] <mojtaba> salam
[10:51] <tobylane>  sarmisak  i got to update manager by terminal, because by menu doesn't work, but that says im up to date
[10:51] <astro76> fhd: set an appropriate umask in the mount options
[10:51] <fhd> astro76: xfs has no umask option
[10:52] <htaccess> lic0m: "Package `gpm' is not installed and no info is available."
[10:53] <lic0m> htaccess: I would suggest installing it, apt-get install gpm
[10:53] <htaccess> yes doing so
[10:53]  * spass is back (gone 08:16:09)
[10:54] <astro76> fhd: I don't believe it's filesystem dependent, your default umask is in /etc/profile, and you can specify a different one when you mount a partition
[10:54] <loulouloulou> hi all I have this one htm file that when I click it the browser asks me to download it ...why would apache act that way..shouldnt it display the file ?
[10:54] <astro76> fhd: as long as it does linux file perms I thought
[10:54] <zylche> volume increase shortcut has gone into what seems to be an infinite loop with time delay on it
[10:54] <zylche> Any known bug fixes for it?
[10:55] <kuldonk> tes
[10:55] <tobylane> loulouloulou, it depends on the client settings
[10:55] <fhd> astro76: now I get it, I was talking about the "umask" mount option :)
[10:55] <fhd> (which is only available for non-linux file systems apparently)
[10:55] <loulouloulou> tobylane, I renamed it to .html and to php and it is stillthe same
[10:55] <loulouloulou> tobylane, I am using firefox...anything Ican fix there
[10:55] <frenchyc> i have an odd problem with my 2 hard drives
[10:55] <htaccess> and im sposed to know tha answer to these questions? lucky i memorised the sample rate for my mouse ... not
[10:55] <frenchyc> when i boot sometimes one is sda
[10:55] <astro76> fhd: ah right
[10:56] <frenchyc> but next time it will be sdb
[10:56] <wakka> i recently upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 through two cd's (went through 7.0 first, upgraded from the website, then installed 8.04).. i remember 7. didn't take my video card so i got this line of code that let me select it. (dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg) now when i put it in, i get this error (xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[10:56] <wakka>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080510055555
[10:56] <wakka> )
[10:56] <frenchyc> so i cant update the fstab
[10:56] <htaccess> is there not a more simple mouse reconfiguration utility?
[10:56] <wakka> there was exactly 1337 people in here
[10:57] <loulouloulou> tobylane, http://www.itsabove.com/skincare.html

[11:19] <zerodamge> I think the problem is that it does no properly connect with my monitor, the whole "screen(s) found but no usable configuration". Has anyone ever had the same problem?
[11:19] <EvilAIM> umm
[11:19] <EvilAIM> sounds like your xorg is gimped
[11:20] <zerodamge> What do i do?
[11:21] <erUSUL> zerodamge: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' or «gksudo displayconfig-gtk»
[11:22] <zerodamge> wornt that bring me back to the nv drivers?
[11:22] <mr_boo> hope i can find a crt monitor tuner in hardy
[11:22] <zerodamge> ill try
[11:22] <mr_boo> i wanna know the greatest refreshrate my monitor can do at 1400x1050
[11:23] <erUSUL> zerodamge: you are using nvidia ?? have you tried nvidia-settings ??
[11:23] <zerodamge> done
[11:23] <zerodamge> yes
[11:23] <mr_boo> i'd really like 1600x1200 of course but i know the refreshrate couldn't be too high then
[11:23] <zerodamge> but it didnt work, it restricted the resolution to 800x600
[11:24] <zerodamge> or i did it wrong...
[11:24] <mr_boo> what is a "metamode"?
[11:24] <GIn> Ubuntu is taking ages to open the properties window of a file. :\
[11:25] <mr_boo> i guess most people here uses lcd monitors
[11:25] <zerodamge> im trying to use nvidia-glx-new, installed using envy, but after install the gui wornt start. So i have tried to reset it to nv and try again, same thing
[11:25] <mr_boo> zerodamge: i didn't have to use envy in hardy
[11:26] <mr_boo> zerodamge: an icon for restricted drivers appeared automatically for me
[11:26] <zerodamge> yes
[11:26] <mr_boo> zerodamge: so now i've got the nvidia-glx-new installed
[11:26] <zerodamge> but it had exactly the same effect
[11:27] <zerodamge> yes, it installed nvida-glx-new, i rebooted, and after the initial logo, the screen is black
[11:27] <mr_boo> zerodamge: i had lots of problems before i did a clean hardy reinstall
[11:27] <zerodamge> its a fresh install, from yesterday
[11:28] <zerodamge> only thing ive touched is the driver
[11:28] <Tux2K8> hello, what is the difference between Live and alternate install cd????

[11:30] <tobylane> you overclock from bios

[11:39]  * Hraefn needs help with java...
[11:39] <negge> there's gotta be a way to empty it from the terminal right
[11:39] <ifireball> Otacon22_Laptop: that really depends on the kind of VNC server you're using, there is no much to configure about vino, the one installed by default
[11:40] <artir> you are using ff3 or ff2?
[11:40] <ifireball> Otacon22_Laptop: in any case vino is configured with "vino-preferences"

[11:40] <Hraefn> and I like it...sorta
[11:41] <zerodamge> I will try booting with the restricted drivers as surgested

[11:42] <DarkBass> Hi! I need some help please, my friends laptop crashed, and i'm trying to get the files off her computer, so I've put her harddrive into another computer, and started it with BackTrack 2 linux (I know it's not what you're here for but, yeah, I don't know where to go) how do I mount a drive in Back Track 2?
[11:42] <tobylane> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4925120
[11:42] <Dr_willis> DarkBass,  the mount command is rather standard in all linux's
[11:42] <DarkBass> that's what i thought
[11:42] <Dr_willis> !mount | DarkBass
[11:42] <artir> the all-powerful sudo mount
[11:42] <Hraefn> I think my java issue might be a symlink thing
[11:42] <Hraefn> ...
[11:42] <Dr_willis> if its ntfs. you may need to use the ntfs, or ntfs-3g filesystem.
[11:43] <DarkBass> it's FAT32 iirc
[11:43] <StevenTyler> How do i set up Beryl on my Hardy Heron?

[11:44] <spuck> artir: ok windows pc can access my shares, now what? :D
[11:45] <artir> spuck: my other winpc also can, but my samba pc cannot access win files
[11:45] <teclis> artir: I had already done that... but I'm trying the workaround
[11:45] <artir> spuck: there is a tutorial in the forums
[11:45] <artir> spuck: i will search it
[11:45] <spuck> I can access my windows shares it's just that they aren't mounted anywhere
[11:45] <spuck> so I cand access them from ksubtitleripper
[11:46] <Dr_willis> spuck,  there are tools that can mount them, or the file managers can 'browse' them
[11:46] <Dr_willis> I tend to use the fusesmb tool to  mount the shares on the fly. Or you can mount them manually

[11:47] <gooody> is it safe to upgrade from ubuntu gutsy to ubuntu hardy using the upgrade option in update manager?
[11:47] <smmagic> gooody, Oughta.
[11:47] <stefg-lap> gooody: having backups are never a bad idea
[11:48] <spuck> Dr_willis: yes that sounds like what I need thanks :O
[11:48] <gooody> stefg-lap: are my installed softwares will remain after the upgrade or i'm going to install them again
[11:48] <Dr_willis> spuck,  ive had some issues with fusesmb under hardy. but not tried it lately. It may be fixed by now.
[11:48] <spuck> okay
[11:48] <teclis> artir: yeah, the described solution worked
[11:48] <Teo-> i have acer extensa 5220 and when i try to boot ubuntu 8.04 the kernel is loading to 100% and then freezes :S some help please//
[11:49] <artir> eheh
[11:50] <stefg> gooody: the point of an upgrade is that your software keeps being installed. But remember that all third-party and 'universe' software isn't guaranteed to work properly after an upgrade (but is likely to do so)
[11:50] <tobylane> can anyone help me update from 5.10?
[11:50] <artir> w00t! 5.10?
[11:50] <DRebellion> tobylane, bad idea.
[11:50] <Dr_willis> egads.
[11:51] <stefg> tobylane: no way... reinstall
[11:51] <negge> tobylane you should do a clean install instead
[11:51] <tobylane> i don't have any discs or writers
[11:51] <artir> tovylane: make a data partition
[11:51] <DRebellion> tobylane, you can order a free one.
[11:51] <negge> can anyone help me with my trashcan issue? rm -rf ~/.Trash/* doesn't work (there is no such folder)
[11:51] <stefg> !breezy
[11:51] <Dr_willis> negge,  thats because thats not the location of Trash.
[11:51] <stefg> tobylane: no upgrade path Breezy is end-of-life
[11:51] <artir> negge: trash isnt located there
[11:51] <Dr_willis> :)
[11:51] <smmagic> I got this great idea for the next ubuntu
[11:51] <tobylane> DRebellion, i did but isnt that like 9 weeks?
[11:51] <artir> neggae; trash is on /home/touruser/.local/Trash
[11:51] <smmagic> Get this, Hungry Hippos
[11:52] <tobylane> smmagic, im pretty sure its already been named
[11:52] <negge> artir hehe thanks, it's weird how every guide on the Internet sayd rm -rf ~/.Trash/* is the solution
[11:52] <smmagic> damn.
[11:52] <DRebellion> tobylane, I didn't think time would be an issue considering you're still on 5.10
[11:52] <ArthurArchnix> Hi... my system is hosed right now and I have to write from Vista :(   I unchecked compositing in gconf-editor and my system froze. I had to do a hard reboot. After reboot my system froze immediately upon login. Again, had to hard reboot. This time it wouldn't even start x. Just gave me numerous session errors about gconf and locks in temp. I switched to tty1 and rm'd everything in tmp. Rebooted and again, upon logging in (successfully) a hard lock.
[11:52] <artir> neggae; trash is on /home/touruser/.local/share/Trasj
[11:52] <tobylane> DRebellion, huh?
[11:52] <gooody> stefg: thanks a lot.
[11:53] <negge> artir there's no such directory either

[11:53] <negge> another question
[11:54] <un2him_>  hello, how do i add other locations for gnome-do to index (not in home folder)?
[11:54] <DarkBass> Dr_willis, thank you very very much!
[11:54] <negge> I'm currently using an ATI radeon 9550 with the fglrx drivers. I have a radeon 9600 that I want to put in it, will this completely break my system or is it cool?
[11:54] <ArthurArchnix> timob: in your sound preferences, just change everything to alsa.
[11:54] <ArthurArchnix> Then you can delete pulse from you session startup
[11:54] <mte_> hi.. how to globally change a locale variable without rebooting? I have changed /etc/environment but need to apply the changes...
[11:54] <negge> I don't want to bother reinstalling drivers and stuff 'cause the new xorg is so hard to configure, if anything goes wrong one is screwed
[11:55] <un2him>  hello, how do i add other locations for gnome-do to index (not in home folder)?
[11:55] <ArthurArchnix> Anybody know wha happens if I delete the gconf folder under ~/   ? Will it automatically recreate itself with default settings?
[11:56] <ArthurArchnix> Or if I can delete some gconf lock file that is causing my gnome sessino to freeze upon logging in.
[11:56] <Myrtti> ArthurArchnix: don't delete, rename
[11:56] <ArthurArchnix> rename, see what happens you mean?
[11:56] <Chrysalis> is there a place where i can read on software sources (i dont know which once to select) and about repository keys, trusted apt keys etc
[11:56] <Myrtti> ArthurArchnix: yup
[11:57] <ArthurArchnix> Myrtti: Ok... I'm desperate. I need to get this fixed now. Gonna go try that.
[11:57] <negge> !repositories
[11:58] <Chrysalis> ubottu: thx, what about keys, whats the deal with those?  is that for updates?

[12:01] <negge> Lordveda the /cdrom is a symlink to your cdrom location

[12:04] <mehrab> I can't upload anything, I don't know if there is a problem in ubuntu or not. any Idea?
[12:04]  * B_Rider kick everibody
[12:04] <eniiii> how come after i type in my password. gdm doesn't log me in, but somehow freezes. But in fact the mouse can move, i can even change the GDM language and stuff. But it just doesn'twant to log me in. PLUS even if go to another terminal, and type uname and password from console, after i press engter nothing happens. that doesn't happen with root. Is there any explanation to this ??
[12:04] <negge> mehrab you can't upload anything WHERE?
[12:04] <jburd> zerodamge: Are you sure you can't Ctrl-Alt-F1?
[12:05]  * B_Rider instaura la dictadura frikipedica en este canal
[12:05] <zerodamge> Yes
[12:05] <jburd> No other terminals either?
[12:05] <zerodamge> I tried several times now
[12:05] <cgentry72> I had my broadcom wireless working before but since I did a dual boot I can't figure out how to get it to work. Can someone help?
[12:05] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: sounds like your install is borked
[12:05] <hoggie> Hi, ive just installed kino and i got a digital camera connected through the Firewire, it doesnt recognizes it, how do i make it recognize it?
[12:05] <mehrab> @negge: for example to mediafire or 4shared or any other host
[12:05] <vegombrei> is there a way i could play super nintendo games on ubuntu ?
[12:06] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, borked ? is that a type to broken/broked  ?
[12:06] <jack_spratt> wirechief-intel: i need to replace the individual li-ion cells in my laptopn battery. The exact same cells seem hard to find (non standard size) so can i replace them with others that add up to the same voltage or something
[12:06] <jburd> Alright.   zerodamge, press Alt-F1 and then Alt-F8 to see the boot process when it boots next and tell us what happens.
[12:06] <zerodamge> Ok
[12:06] <david__--> vegombrei:look for a snes emu,I am pretty sure they work though you may have to use wine
[12:07] <jack_spratt> eniiii: borked is comp slang for messed up, fuck3d
[12:07] <ArthurArchnix> Thanks Myrtti... renamed and gnome recreated. Lost some settings, but I'm back in and everything else, apart from preferences, seems fine. Thanks for the smart advice. :)
[12:07] <wirechief-intel> jack_spratt: i would back off that project, just buy a new battery, why risk explosion.
[12:07] <zerodamge> So I should activate the restricted drivers (to induce the error) and press those to combinations on boot?
[12:07] <negge> vegombrei I searched the repositories and I only found a NES emulator..
[12:07] <Myrtti> ArthurArchnix: you can try and move the stuff from the backup directory one by one to get some of the settings back
[12:07] <negge> zsnes in wine could work though
[12:07] <jack_spratt> wirechief-intel: explosion? new batteries complete with casing would cost me more than the laptop itself!
[12:08] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, typo*... i see. well i kinda assumed that something was broken. Do you know any place where i should look to to have a good idea on whats happening ? im peroforming a distupgrade now, do you think it would somehow change the situation ?
[12:08] <david__--> negge:thats the name of it,couldnt remember...Im almost positive it will work
[12:08] <Myrtti> ArthurArchnix: actually, don't *move* but *copy*
[12:08] <ArthurArchnix> Yeah... it' snot a big deal. 10 minutes to fix, not worth the risk of reintroducing the problem. 'preciate it though.
[12:09] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: what i would do is check the media. it has a selftest or you can use md5sum /dev/cdrom and compare the results with the correct md5
[12:09] <ArthurArchnix> Myrtti: ^^
[12:09] <negge> david__-- yeah it's such a simple program it simply should work
[12:09] <cgentry72> I had my broadcom wireless working before but since I did a dual boot I can't figure out how to get it to work. Can someone help?
[12:09] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, grr i dont think i have the ubuntu CDrom, its been a while since i installed it..
[12:09] <david__--> does anyone know of any channels where I can find help with installing a script to a server,server wont accept .tpl file and im trying to find a way around it
[12:09] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: always burn Dao slow speed like 8x

[12:09] <B_Rider> somebody speaks spanish?
[12:10] <bXi> does anyone know if i can get the ubuntu studio repos inside hardy?
[12:10] <vegombrei> negge: how do i make it work ?
[12:10] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: you dont have the .iso file on media ?
[12:10] <hoggie> how do i load a module, i need to load module raw1394 for access to the camera.. \
[12:10] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, its not in the CD. Ive already insalled ubuntu.. and i cant open the user accounts from X..
[12:10] <negge> vegombrei you mean zsnes?
[12:10] <jack_spratt> hoggie: sudo modprobe [module name]
[12:10] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, i installed ubuntu, im not sure if i have the Cd:\
[12:10] <david__--> vegombrei:ill try to install it real fast and see what happens then let you know
[12:11] <hoggie> jack_spratt: Thanks!
[12:11] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: well knowing you had bad media you should prepare yourself to reinstall.
[12:11] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, but ive loged in correctly before. Its the first time it happens like this.
[12:11] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: weird errors are from corrupt files
[12:11] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, i see your point
[12:12] <vegombrei> david__--: thats great .. im new to linux could you also help me install it once uve checked it out ?
[12:12] <hoggie> dmesg
[12:12] <vix85> maybe this isnt the right place to ask, but I need help configure my glassfish server on my ubuntu server.. i cant deploy any applications on it.
[12:12] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: some users who have bad media installs wont find out until they do a update.
[12:12] <david__--> vegombrei:sure :) give me a few minutes
[12:12] <cvd-pr> boooo
[12:12] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: and then spend hours and days scratching their heads. better time spent reinstall right.
[12:12] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, thanks a lot, and is there any other way to change user passwords from root, [command line] ?
[12:12] <jack_spratt> wirechief-intel: whats the risk of explosion?
[12:13] <cvd-pr> rm /  /
[12:13] <cvd-pr> ?
[12:13] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: yes
[12:13] <hoggie> jack_spratt: i tried to load the module and : FATAL: Error inserting raw (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/char/raw.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[12:13] <jack_spratt> hoggie: have you seenn dmesg?
[12:13] <wirechief-intel> jack_spratt: disimilar metals , refer to explosion of batterys from sony for example
[12:14] <jack_spratt> hoggie: sounds like a problem with the module your trying to use. did you install it manually?
[12:14] <hoggie> jack_spratt: no, i dont know what is it nor how to look at it
[12:14] <jack_spratt> hoggie: jjust type dmesg in terminal, or tail dmseg instead (dmesg is a log)
[12:14] <MatteoTheBoss> Ciao
[12:15] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: yes just google for it, lots of examples out there on how to change password
[12:15] <hoggie> no, im trying to use kino for downloading a vid from my camera, and i saw in kino that the raw1394 module isnt loaded so it cant use the camera..
[12:15] <hoggie> ahh
[12:15] <hoggie> jack_spratt im gonna look at it now..
[12:15] <ompaul> cvd-pr, what is that you are trying to do?
[12:16] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, well i --help'ed passwd but it looks like it changes the passwd of the account im currently logged in. but thanks for the info, ill google it now. and thanks for the time..
[12:16] <wirechief-intel> jack_spratt: sounds like the cost of a battery would justify a new computer
[12:16] <vegombrei> david__--: thanks bro
[12:16] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: np and good luck with your reinstall
[12:16] <jack_spratt> wirechief-intel: yup, this laptop cost me £50, the batterty is £65 cheapest ive seen
[12:17] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, looks like that's the only solution you're giving me :\
[12:17] <Otacon22_Laptop> anyone know how to change the mac address of a network card on ubuntu? I'm logged into a wireless network with authentication based on mac address, but evry time i reboot my mac address changes
[12:17] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: well your welcome to spend more hours fighting it, but why?
[12:17] <jack_spratt> hoggie: so the module is already installed  default or was installed from repos  (not manually)?
[12:17] <hoggie> jack_spratt: im gonna flood a few lines into the channel.. from the dmesg..
[12:17] <jack_spratt> hoggie: dont
[12:17] <hoggie> ohh
[12:17] <jack_spratt> use a paste website
[12:18] <jack_spratt> ? paste
[12:18] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, to not loose some more time with all backup-ing
[12:18] <hoggie> it was installed when i checked the repos
[12:18] <hoggie> ye..
[12:18] <jack_spratt> hoggie use http://rafb.net/paste
[12:19] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: it is possible you have corrupted kde, you can sometimes get it back with mv .kde .kde-bak then do a reinstall from a terminal.
[12:19] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, i use gnome :|
[12:19] <hoggie> jack_spratt: now should i copy/paste it after i pasted it as c++?
[12:20] <david__--> vegombrei:Its actually simpler then i thought...what distro are you on?
[12:20] <hoggie> or can u see it there?
[12:20] <zerodamge> Okay, I dont know what to tell you, but it just looks like a normal boot sequence, and then it goes blanck
[12:20] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: hehe ah your right, wrong box, i bounce back in forth between the two
[12:20] <manawyddan> hi everyone, i have been trying to update the packages i have installed but apt-get aswell as synaptic is giving me an error.
