[12:40] <Hexidigital_> britishseapower::  do NOT use anything but rubbing alcohol to clean a cpu... don't even use water to clean off excess alcohol
[12:40] <VoteForPedro> DarkMageZ, ok

[12:40] <VoteForPedro> DarkMageZ, im upgrading now :/
[12:41] <dingus9> I use karosine to clean my cpu
[12:41] <SmokeyD> Hi, how do I install truetype fonts?
[12:42] <pawan> how to access adsl in ubuntu
[12:42] <pawan> how to recover partition in ubuntu
[12:42] <humanpersonman> SmokeyD, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[12:42] <humanpersonman> SmokeD, but I think the repos are down, so might not work right now
[12:43] <dingus9> pawan: I would start with fdisk
[12:43] <marcin_ant> SmokeyD, create folder named .fonts in your home directory and put your ttype fonts there
[12:43] <frogzoo> is there a better tool than bum for managing initscripts, that will let me change a services state for different run levels?
[12:43] <pawan> fdisk shows all partitions
[12:43] <dingus9> pawan: but your going to have to use parted later
[12:43] <SmokeyD> and if I want to install them system wide?
[12:43] <dingus9> pawan: did you try and mount them then?
[12:43] <pawan> my one partition is ext3
[12:43] <pawan> i want to convert it to fat32
[12:43] <dingus9> ok
[12:43] <humanpersonman> SmokeyD, here is the .deb http://ubuntu.inode.at/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/msttcorefonts/msttcorefonts_1.2ubuntu3_all.deb
[12:44] <pawan> how
[12:44] <pawan> using fdisk
[12:44] <dingus9> back up you data and then run fdisk
[12:44] <pawan> ok
[12:44] <Hexidigital_> anyone else having slow (or no) connectivity to the us repos?
[12:44] <dingus9> d   delet the number partion you want
[12:44] <Dewbie> yes dingus9 I am the hitman
[12:44] <Dewbie> BANG!
[12:44] <humanpersonman> Hexidigital_, they are down from what I hear
[12:44] <Dewbie> your dead
[12:44] <Hexidigital_> humanpersonman::  thanks, i wasn't sure
[12:45] <dingus9> Dewbie: lol you don't have my ip do you ?..... oh boy
[12:45] <Gryhed^^> i need a program so i can listen to music directiont from internet :D
[12:45] <pawan> then
[12:45] <pawan> after deleting
[12:45] <pawan> go to windows
[12:45] <pawan> start partition magic
[12:45] <pawan> and format it to fat32
[12:46] <dingus9> pawan: no
[12:46] <humanpersonman> Gryhed^^, do you mean a plugin?
[12:46] <gatekeeper> Gryhed^^: amaroK
[12:46] <dingus9> just make a new partition in fdisk
[12:46] <Gryhed^^> Yes
[12:46] <Gryhed^^> :D
[12:46] <pawan> and also how to access broadband
[12:46] <pawan> then
[12:46] <dingus9> pawan: and change the system id
[12:46] <humanpersonman> !enter
[12:46] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[12:46] <pawan> to
[12:46] <Gryhed^^> humanpersonman: yes
[12:46] <dingus9> pawan: t
[12:46] <dingus9> then
[12:46] <pawan> it is a logical partition
[12:46] <zsuzsi> uh. back. our net went down.
[12:47] <pawan> what is this t
[12:47] <Gryhed^^> gatekeeper: i have it. But its not working =/
[12:47] <dingus9> that lists the partition types
[12:47] <zsuzsi> anyway, can someone tell me where i can talk about a wlanassistant crash?
[12:47] <humanpersonman> Gryhedd^^, mplayer plugin is the best i think, the us repos are down right now so it might not work for you but "sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer" I think does it
[12:47] <humanpersonman> !info mozilla-mplayer
[12:47] <pawan> fdisk -t
[12:47] <ubotu> mozilla-mplayer: MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 3.17-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 421 kB, installed size 1500 kB
[12:47] <Gryhed^^> humanpersonman:  Thx
[12:47] <gatekeeper> Gryhed^^: have you got sound? are you using the xine engine?
[12:47] <pawan> what about internet
[12:48] <pawan> i have broadband
[12:48] <marcin_ant> ok guys - no response, so maybe I will try again
[12:48] <pawan> how to access it in ubuntu
[12:48] <Hexidigital_> can someone using repos other than us pastebin their /etc/apt/sources.list file, so i can download the packages i need?
[12:48] <gatekeeper> Gryhed^^: MediaPlayerConnectivity firefox addin well usefull
[12:48] <SmokeyD> humanpersonman: I want to install my own fonts, not just the standard ms fonts
[12:48] <dingus9> pawan change it to b
[12:48] <marcin_ant> is there any good software that can create catalogue of files in my collection of cd/dvd?
[12:48] <SmokeyD> But I want to do it system wide, not just for myself
[12:49] <humanpersonman> SmokeyD, no idea
[12:49] <humanpersonman> !fonts
[12:49] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[12:49] <CreativePony> how can I clear any cache'd dns information on my dapper installation?
[12:49] <ubotu> No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer
[12:49] <humanpersonman> oh there, go the the wiki
[12:49] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: remove us. or replace with ca.
[12:49] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  oh, ok... thanks
[12:49] <SmokeyD> thanks humanpersonman
[12:49] <dingus9> then write the partition table and run mkfs.vfat /dev/hdax
[12:49] <marcin_ant> SmokeyD, to be honest - sytem wide installation is complicated because you should provide package with your fonts
[12:49] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: yw :-)
[12:49] <SmokeyD> didn't know the bot command
[12:49] <SmokeyD> :)
[12:49] <humanpersonman> just a guess
[12:50] <Dewbie> dingus9, I have your IP
[12:50] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  i should've thought it'd be that easy  :-)
[12:50] <Dewbie> but I don't know how to use traceroute
[12:50] <zsuzsi> *sigh* you guys are sure busy :p
[12:50] <Dewbie> so your safe :P
[12:50] <marcin_ant> SmokeyD, so if you want to do this propely I think that you should create deb that will install systemwide
[12:50] <dingus9> lol i know
[12:50] <Dewbie> for now...
[12:50] <dingus9> Dewbie: its a real ip
[12:50] <dingus9> Dewbie: static
[12:51] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: I don't know why they haven't got a repos status page somewhere, would seem to make sence
[12:51] <[Wiebel] > hmmz
[12:51] <Dewbie> lol
[12:51] <[Wiebel] > wpa_supplicant is dropping the connection once in a while
[12:51] <humanpersonman> gatekeeper, the repos are down so very seldom, that a page would be kind of stupid
[12:51] <Dewbie> I may be a hitman, but not THE hitman
[12:51] <[Wiebel] > what could cause this?
[12:51] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  perhaps we can make a suggestion to the deveolpers
[12:51] <Hexidigital_> *developers
[12:52] <humanpersonman> gatekeeper, if you really want your stuff, just go into your sources.list and change everywhere that says us to au and you can access the australian repos which are up
[12:52] <gatekeeper> humanpersonman: well seems like the us ones have been down for a couple of days
[12:53] <dingus9> pawan: did yo get it formated?
[12:53] <humanpersonman> !ops
[12:53] <ubotu> Help! lilo, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee or gnomefreak!
[12:53] <gatekeeper> humanpersonman: I know that and have been passing the message round although I don't use the us repos, but there are loads of people who don't know
[12:54] <Hexidigital_> humanpersonman::  why did you call the ops?
[12:54] <Seveas> humanpersonman, ?
[12:54] <gatekeeper> Hexidigital_: looks like the problem is spreading :-(
[12:54] <gatekeeper> brb
[12:54] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  i just got a timeout
[12:54] <humanpersonman> i wanted to see who they were, I didn't realize that called them, just thought it listed them
[12:54] <Hexidigital_> Seveas::  are you guys aware the canada repos are down also?
[12:56] <bilss_> hello
[12:57] <_stefan> hello, what can I do? -> shell-script -> var=`command` -> echo $var  ----> what is when the command to late makes an output (in 30 minutes twice)?
[12:57] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  any luck?
[12:57] <dingus9> A virus to whome ever made this install script crash if it can't resolve an online repository. and a whole bunch of spam too
[12:57] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  a US repo?
[12:58] <bilss_> fyre|work found a great little help  here http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html
[12:58] <Hexidigital_> gatekeeper::  i was able to connect to au repos
[12:59] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: yup, I did sudo ifdown eth0 thinking I was going to get around that and behold it braught it back up on me. so now for the third time I am going to have to try to install this thing
[01:00] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: I think that the install script should have a thirty second timout on it and then say oh well Ill let the user do this later and keep installing the dang system
[01:00] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  well, the united states repos are down, apparently so are the canadian ones... i was able to connect to the australia ones though...
[01:00] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  for installing a ethernet card?
[01:00] <bigfoot1> On a fresh install of  the latest Ubuntu Gnome, what apps are installed by default in the Sound & Video submenu/category? Please advise
[01:00] <Gryhed^^> how i got mozilla  mplayer
[01:00] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: no a kubuntu dapper
[01:00] <bilss_> to change ownership from say admin admin  /etc/whatever  to news news /etc/whatever is the correct line chown news:news  /etc/whatever?
[01:01] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  oh
[01:01] <pawan1> how to access internet
[01:01] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: it crashes if it isn't able to resolve the repos
[01:01] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  serpentine, sound juicer, movie player, rhythmbox, sound recorder
[01:01] <pawan1> what is parted
[01:02] <pawan1> gparted
[01:02] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  oh.. well, i havent installed from a cd more recent than Flight 6, so i'm used to the "old way"
[01:02] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  on top of using gnome
[01:02] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: thanks. Nothing else?
[01:02] <dingus9> pawan: parted is a disk partition manager.... same as parted only gtk
[01:02] <pawan1> how to use it
[01:03] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  nope (but keep in mind, i use Flight 6 to install, not LTS)
[01:03] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: well I have had quite a bit of trouble with most of the dapper installers as of yet
[01:03] <pawan1> internet
[01:03] <pawan1> broadband
[01:03] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  why not download the alternative install, and go from there? (afaik, it works flawless)
[01:04] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: hmm is it text?
[01:04] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_:
[01:04] <bigfoot1> i see
[01:04] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  like i said, i use Flight 6 install cd, so i'm not sure
[01:05] <Hexidigital_> bigfoot1::  was there a problem you needed help with?
[01:05] <pawan1> what is sudo command
[01:05] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: Ill check into that one. I don't like the whle live cd thing it just takes to long to boot up and then find out that it crashes
[01:05] <reiki> ok dumb question time. I've only been using Ubuntu for a year...  with us archive down I see in topic to switch to another CC.archive... how?
[01:05] <dingus9> lol
[01:06] <dingus9> reiki:  sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:06] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  i'm not a fan of Live either... my suggestion is (if you have the time) to download the alternative (or even server) install, and go from there
[01:06] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  server does not install a GUI, but that can  be fixed with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:06] <bigfoot1> Hexidigital_: not really a problem. IThis computer I'm using will be going to its new owner.
[01:06] <melle> is there a good alternative for gaim? (im only using the msn protocol) i really dont feel it whit gaim :)
[01:06] <bilss_> to change ownership from say admin admin  /etc/whatever  to news news /etc/whatever is the correct line chown news:news  /etc/whatever?
[01:06] <pawan1> sudo -l means
[01:06] <reiki> dingus9, and actually change instances of "us.archive...." to CC.archive.... ?
[01:06] <bigfoot1> and i'd like to get things back as much as I can to how Ubntuu would be if she were to do a fresh install.
[01:06] <bigfoot1> that's all
[01:07] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  or au (austrailia)
[01:08] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  afaik, CC means Country Code
[01:08] <dingus9> Hexidigital_: lol Im used to the debian server install cd. I usually dump it right after I get apt and mount etc then just apt-get every thing my self. I always found that to be less of a hassle when installing other window managers
[01:08] <reiki> ack!  that coulda been interesting, huh?
[01:08] <reiki> :)
[01:08] <pawan1> hi
[01:08] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  yes :)
[01:08] <reiki> Hexidigital_, is there canadian archive? it would be closer. :)
[01:08] <dingus9> reiki: or just drop the us.archive and go with archive
[01:08] <Hexidigital_> dingus9::  all of my installs have been server, than i install the GUI i want
[01:08] <dingus9> it was still up last i checked
[01:09] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  canada is down also
[01:09] <reiki> hmmmm... ok
[01:09] <reiki> thanks, guys
[01:09] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  np
[01:09] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  dont forget to change your repos back when this is all fixed
[01:10] <reiki> yeah I'm just saving my sources.list as US-sources.list. I'll edit and save as sources.list and just copy it back over when things straighten out
[01:12] <livingdaylight> reiki: could you do some distant reiki on my ankle?
[01:12] <reiki> livingdaylight, ..... right ankle?
[01:12] <livingdaylight> left
[01:12] <livingdaylight> bad sprain
[01:12] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  you're right
[01:12] <reiki> hmmm.... ok... where on globe are you?
[01:12] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  not "
[01:13] <livingdaylight> reiki: London, uk
[01:13] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  not "you're correct"... but his/her left ankle would be you're right side  :)
[01:13] <reiki> livingdaylight, ok I will send
[01:13] <livingdaylight> reiki: thank you  :D
[01:13] <reiki> Hexidigital_, it's that whole US/UK thing... they drive on the wrong side of the road too :)
[01:13] <Hexidigital_> reiki::  :-)
[01:14] <reiki> almost forgot to apt-get update :)
[01:16] <kintaro0e> hello everyone, i would like to ask..i'm running ubuntu server as my server box..and i'm planning to install vmware-sever, do i need to install X and Gnome on it?please advice! :)
[01:16] <BazziR> you can install the vmware GUI things remotely afaik
[01:16] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  not necessarily... if you want "ease of use", yes... if you want to remotely control the machines, no
[01:17] <kintaro0e> Hexidigital_..ah..ok..so if i want to install virtual os guest like windows xp..how will i do it?
[01:17] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  do you have a machine you can remotely connect with?
[01:18] <reiki> wow... au.archive is as fast as us.archive ever was :)
[01:18] <mandie26> hello
[01:18] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  (there is a LOT of doc on vmware CLI stuff, but it is intense)
[01:18] <kintaro0e> Hexidigital_..right now i have my server with ubuntu and a client computer to connect on the server..
[01:18] <zsh> hello mandie26
[01:19] <mukiex> cc . thanks guys =3
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  there's a remote connection tool (vmware-mui, i think) that you can use, which will be GUI
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  that will leave the GUI stuff off of your server (which is what I do)
[01:19] <mandie26> i have a little problem, when i boot, usplash (i think it is called that way..) goes mad, but it boots perfect, but after, i have no consoles (alt+F1, f2, f3) and when i shut down, everything is black...
[01:19] <kintaro0e> Hexidigital_..ah..ok..thanks a lot on your advice..heheh..cool
[01:20] <Hexidigital_> kintaro0e::  no prob :)
[01:20] <insidius> Is there a way to add apt to the system if it does not go on properly with the first install?
[01:20] <mandie26> any suggestions
[01:20] <axyjo> hello
[01:21] <bigfoot1> does anybody here (still) use XMMS?
[01:21] <Gryhed^^>
[01:21] <axyjo> can anyone help me with a major problem I have?
[01:21] <Hexidigital_> !anyone
[01:21] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:21] <mandie26> i have a little problem, when i boot, usplash (i think it is called that way..) goes mad, but it boots perfect, but after, i have no consoles (alt+F1, f2, f3) and when i shut down, everything is black...
[01:21] <mandie26> bigfoot1, i use it, why?
[01:22] <axyjo> i put my home directory on a fat32 partition as root (using sudo) and now all the files are owned by root.  I cant log on unless I use the root user to log in.  I need to fix this asap
[01:22] <axyjo> @ubotu: lol
[01:22] <bigfoot1> mandie26: i'm just wondering if I should keep XMMS for tis computer's next owner. I installed XMMS in my hoary days, when I was a week old in Linux. I was being greedy and trying a lot of software. I don't want to confuse the new owner though, as she's going to be new to Ubuntu/Linux
[01:23] <bigfoot1> confuse means overwhelm with too many choices in the menu
[01:23] <mandie26> bigfoot1, i would suggest to put a winamp skin, so... no confusion, and looks familiar
[01:23] <bigfoot1> mandie26: but isn't beep media player then what looks like winamp?
[01:23] <bigfoot1> mandie26: how do you put a skin on anyway?
[01:23] <axyjo> anyone?
[01:24] <mandie26> bigfoot1,  just put it on the skins folder under ~/.xmms/
[01:24] <fyre|work> axyjo: sudo chmod -R yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername
[01:24] <bigfoot1> mandie26: do you find xmms better than bmp?
[01:24] <mandie26> bigfoot1, xmms is like a winamp clone
[01:24] <mandie26> bigfoot1, for what i do with it... yes
[01:24] <bigfoot1> mandie26: hmmm. maybe my friend will like rythymbox
[01:24] <void^> bmp is based on xmms, but with gtk2
[01:24] <bigfoot1> i don't know. what do you think?
[01:24] <bigfoot1> do you think former Winamp users will like Rythymbox? or at least find it as easy to use?
[01:25] <mandie26> i tried so many players... but at the end, just for listening my music... i prefer xmms
[01:25] <axyjo> fyre|work: do you mean chown?
[01:25] <bigfoot1> where do i get the winamp skin?
[01:25] <mandie26> with my multimedia keys.. is perfect
[01:26] <insidius> Is there a way to get apt onto a system if it was not put on properly during the initial install?
[01:26] <bigfoot1> i have this program called GLAME in my Sound&Video menu. What is it?
[01:26] <bigfoot1> Do i need it?
[01:26] <mandie26> bigfoot1, u can use any CLASSIC winamp skin
[01:26] <mandie26> form the winamp page
[01:26] <bigfoot1> mandie26: ok
[01:27] <mandie26> i have a little problem, when i boot, usplash (i think it is called that way..) goes mad, but it boots perfect, but after, i have no consoles (alt+F1, f2, f3) and when i shut down, everything is black...
[01:29] <axyjo> i put my home directory on a fat32 partition as root (using sudo) and now all the files are owned by root.  I cant log on unless I use the root user to log in.  I need to fix this asap.  i tried to chown -R it but it says invalid user.
[01:30] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: what is your login name?
[01:30] <axyjo> akshay
[01:31] <Seveas> axyjo, you can't chown fat32
[01:31] <axyjo> i tried chown -R akshay:akshay /home/akshay but it didnt work
[01:31] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: put that in there chown -R akshay:akhsay /home/akshay
[01:31] <Seveas> you need to mount it properly
[01:31] <CappO> hellow, i have a question, i have a laptop with ubuntu breezy, want to install ndisgtk, don't have internet so can't do apt-get, have the files on my laptop, how do i install this: make... ?
[01:31] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: why is it fat32?! (didn't read that part)
[01:31] <Seveas> axyjo, and don't mount fat32 as your home
[01:31] <axyjo> i did it by accident
[01:31] <Seveas> that will mean much problems
[01:31] <axyjo> because i thougt i could share files
[01:31] <axyjo> from windows and linux
[01:31] <axyjo> ...
[01:31] <Seveas> UNMOUNT IT
[01:32] <Seveas> sorry, caps lock
[01:32] <axyjo> k
[01:32] <Seveas> unmount it, and mount it somewhere else
[01:32] <fyrestrtr> axyjo: oh dear god
[01:32] <axyjo> ok
[01:33] <axyjo> ok.. mounted as /media/WindowsFAT
[01:34] <Hexidigital_> can anyone suggest a lightweight desklet application? (or is gdesklets "it"?)
[01:34] <axyjo> i suggest conk

[01:36] <axyjo> Seveas: after mounting, do i make a new /home directory and copy all the files over?
[01:37] <axyjo> and how do i share files on ext 3 to windows then?
[01:37] <mandie26> i have a little problem, when i boot, usplash (i think it is called that way..) goes mad, but it boots perfect, but after, i have no consoles (alt+F1, f2, f3) and when i shut down, everything is black...
[01:37] <Seveas> axyjo, no, you simply leave your /home your /home and put files to share on the fat partition
[01:37] <Seveas> mandie26, nvidia card?
[01:37] <bimbomix1> hello boys

[01:39] <SeanTater> mandie26: me?
[01:39] <bigfoot1> On a fresh install of  the latest Ubuntu Gnome, what apps are installed by default in the Graphics submenu/category? Please advise.
[01:39] <Seveas> SeanTater, was a <tab> error I assume ;)
[01:39] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: gimp and sane
[01:39] <SeanTater> Seveas: I guess so, but it works, I do use nvidia
[01:39] <mandie26> Seveas, no, no vga params..
[01:39] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: just those 2?
[01:39] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: gimp, xsane, gthumb
[01:39] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: just those 3?
[01:39] <henry54> any pointer please on how to "replicate" a machine by copying some pkg list and the /var/apt/cache to a new machine and install the same set on new box after basic install from Ubuntu 5.10?
[01:40] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: yes
[01:40] <Seveas> mandie26, try the nv driver. If that works: complain at nvidia and disable usplash
[01:40] <fiveiron> quick... whats the : command to save a file in vim?
[01:40] <bigfoot1> how do you know that?
[01:40] <Seveas> fiveiron, :w
[01:40] <axyjo> !info gedit
[01:40] <ubotu> gedit: light-weight text editor. In repository main, is optional. Version 2.14.3-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 582 kB, installed size 2152 kB
[01:40] <bigfoot1> is there a list?
[01:40] <fiveiron> ty
[01:40] <mandie26> uhm
[01:40] <mandie26> Seveas, ok, thx
[01:40] <bigfoot1> on ubuntu?
[01:40] <bigfoot1> is there an ofificial list of what apps are installed by default on Ubuntu Gnome?
[01:40] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: please ask the real question.
[01:41] <chbluhme>  hi..i got a smaller problem with ubuntu and iptables. could anyone help me? or is this the wrong channel?
[01:41] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: it is my real question
[01:41] <bigfoot1> .
[01:41] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: I just told you what were the apps installed under graphics.
[01:41] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: yes, i just want to confirm this info
[01:41] <bigfoot1> because the first time you gave an answer, you gave 2 apps.
[01:41] <bigfoot1> later you gave 3
[01:41] <bigfoot1> just wanted to make suer
[01:41] <bigfoot1> no pdf viewrs? xpdf or gnomepdf viewer?
[01:42] <Seveas> bigfoot1, evince is installed but not in the menu
[01:42] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: firefox, evolution, openoffice, gimp, gthumb, xsane, rhythmbox. PDF viewer is part of nautilus.
[01:42] <Steph14> Does ubuntu support wine as part of the install?
[01:42] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, evince is not part of nautilus
[01:42] <Seveas> Steph14, no
[01:42] <bigfoot1> fyrestrtr: now your list has grown
[01:42] <fyrestrtr> bigfoot1: yes, because it includes things not in the graphics menu.
[01:42] <Steph14> So how do I install wine?
[01:43] <fyrestrtr> !wine
[01:43] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:43] <Seveas> bigfoot1, hint: apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop
[01:43] <CappO> is it normal if you see in a terminal: bash: make: command not found ?
[01:44] <Seveas> !compiling > CappO
[01:44] <fyrestrtr> CappO: yes, you need to install build-essential -- but first, find out whatever you are building is not in !software
[01:44] <NAiL> Does anyone have a grub.conf from edgy? (And can someone paste it to pastebin? :))
[01:44] <bigfoot1> Seveas: thanks. i'm suprised. that list isn't as long as i was thinking.
[01:44] <Seveas> NAiL, there is no grub.conf and edgy --> #ubuntu+1
[01:44] <fyrestrtr> NAiL: why would it be different?
[01:45] <NAiL> fyrestrtr: Dunno, but grub went all screwy on me so I had to install manually. So I can't boot quite yet :-P
[01:45] <NAiL> Seveas: thanks for the pointer :)
[01:46] <Towelie> pls help, when i try to install ubuntu i can only see a black screen :( what can i do?

[01:46] <phipu1> hi

[01:47] <philipsmith> Seveas: Thank you!

[01:47] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, apt-cache, the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com  -  Ubuntu has about 18000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!

[01:50] <livingdaylight> on ebay i see a 802.11g but not sure what the difference is and whether it would work out of the box just like the other model
[01:51] <livingdaylight> damn, no help available again
[01:52] <Seveas> jpatota, look at the topic
[01:52] <Seveas> livingdaylight, it's sunday, people are being lazy today

[01:54] <bigfoot1> On a fresh install of  the latest Ubuntu Gnome, what apps are installed by default in the Accessories submenu/category? Please advise.
[01:54] <chbluhme> could anyone tell me where to ask my question (see above)
[01:54] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:55] <dapper> i have a little question
[01:55] <bigfoot1> dapper:  we have a little answer just for you.
[01:55] <dapper> do we can make a partition with 3 physical drives
[01:55] <Warbo> dapper: You want LVM
[01:55] <dreamthief> "do we can" ?
[01:55] <_atomic> Hi
[01:56] <Warbo> !lvm
[01:56] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:56] <dapper> Warbo: i have 3 hd drives
[01:56] <bigfoot1> dreamthief: no can do.
[01:56] <darth_gimp> anyone running the flock browser?
[01:56] <dreamthief> lol
[01:56] <dapper> Warbo: and i would like to ake one partition with them if it is possible
[01:56] <darth_gimp> I need a hand installing it
[01:56] <Kezer> Warbo, it isn't inside there
[01:56] <Warbo> dapper: You make partitions as "physical volumes", then group all of them into a "volume group" which acts like a big hard drive, and make "logical volumes" in that, which act like partitions
[01:56] <Frizz0> hey
[01:57] <dapper> Warbo: hou can i do that pls
[01:57] <dreamthief> dapper, just try making logical a partition across the three physical drives with the logical volume manager
[01:57] <Warbo> dapper: It's called Logical Volume Management, see the link from Uboty above
[01:57] <Warbo> dapper: I don't think the graphical installer supports them, you may have to use the text installer
[01:58] <dapper> Warbo: could i make it without reinstalling ubuntu
[01:58] <dreamthief> yes
[01:58] <dreamthief> is's no problem
[01:58] <Warbo> dapper: Yes, you can make the logical volumes, mount them, then copy all of your stuff across (copying an Ubuntu system to a different drive doesn't stop it working)
[01:59] <Warbo> dapper: The GRUB bootloader doesn't understand LVM though, so you will need a real partition for /boot
[01:59] <mikearthur> I'm trying to install a really minimal X for a server, and already have a server install. I've installed xserver-xorg but its complaining about fonts, any ideas?
[01:59] <dapper> in fact i have ubuntu installed on the drives
[01:59] <dapper> Warbo: one fot / one for usr and one for hoe
[01:59] <dapper> home
[02:00] <Warbo> dapper: You can't convert existing partitions to LVM without losing data, however due to the way LVM works you can keep adding more space to it as you copy more stuff on to it, until eventually all of your stuff is stored on it
[02:01] <dreamthief> it's even possible to ad a fourth or fifth drive to the logical partition on the fly while you're wokring with ubuntu ^^
[02:01] <Warbo> dapper: I would start with a GParted CD and shrink your partitions as much as possible (leave a bit of free space in / though)
[02:01] <Warbo> dreamthief: As long as you don't try to hotplug an IDE drive :)
[02:01] <dapper> ok
[02:01] <dapper> thank you
[02:02] <DoctorMO> i have sound input problems, I have a pci sound card and a usb sound input device, yet I can't get any input from the usb device (to be frank alsa is very confuised about which device it's using for both input and output)
[02:02] <livingdaylight> Seveas: Sunday! of course...
[02:03] <Zambezi> Is there an easy and secure way to mount *.bin-files?
[02:03] <Seveas> Zambezi, convert it to .iso with bchunk and mount it
[02:03] <Warbo> !iso
[02:03] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows

[02:22] <Hexidigital_> Seveas::  just letting you know... i dont know of anyone else to tell :)
[02:22] <gusgizmo> it breaks WEP keys using captured data from a wireless dcard

[02:24] <interfear> samba, ssh, news...
[02:24] <interfear> irc...
[02:24] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: windows file shares (samba), dns, ldap, mysql, postgre
[02:24] <DoctorMO> I feel like the sound devices are just out of reach, they don't seem to act like normal linux drivers with normal dev nodes, yet alsa is compleatly unconfigurable.
[02:24] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: ut2k4
[02:24] <Coffeegrinds> cello_rasp: why not play with other repositories?
[02:25] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, like? yeah i already done samba and mysql too
[02:25] <Android`> is there a way to create a perform list for gaim like in mIRC?
[02:25] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, whats a ut2k4?
[02:25] <Warbo> DoctorMO: There is alsactrl or something I think
[02:25] <gusgizmo> its a game
[02:25] <interfear> syntaxx: unreal tournament
[02:25] <syntaxx> ic

[02:25] <interfear> i only have a 6600gt
[02:25] <DoctorMO> Warbo: used it, doesn't do what I want
[02:26] <interfear> and i refuse to spend money on video cards anymore..
[02:26] <Coffeegrinds> voodoo 3 suckas beat that! (pci to boot!)
[02:26] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: vpn services, jabber, irc, echo, streaming media
[02:26] <rexbinary> Tremulous :)
[02:26] <interfear> cuz in a month its out of date
[02:26] <interfear> so i told myself whenever i feel like playing a video game, pickup my guitar, its more productive
[02:26] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, oh ok a lot ^^ but im confuse in what will be my next setup teehee
[02:27] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: nfs, X11 (but sucks), freenx, ntp, hula, webdav
[02:27] <gusgizmo> thats just to name a few
[02:27] <DoctorMO> Warbo: problem is, alsa seems to just be a collection of misadventured good ideas built into funny little scripts with no concept of a whole system.
[02:27] <gusgizmo> what do you need your setup to do?
[02:27] <xxpor|away> devster: u noob
[02:27] <Coffeegrinds> interfear: do you record anything under linux? just wondering cause i have yet to find any decent audio apps that don't require other applications to do things.. (looking for more of a Sound forge type package)
[02:27] <Warbo> DoctorMO: Well it works for me :)
[02:27] <xxpor|away> :P
[02:27] <devster> shaddup nubcake
[02:28] <gusgizmo> Coffeegrinds: doesn't audacity record?
[02:28] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, nothin much well im just a student who wants to learn stuff about linux/servers
[02:28] <xxpor|away> ouch
[02:28] <Coffeegrinds> yeah but I'm just not happy with it..
[02:28] <devster> what repository servers are up?
[02:28] <interfear> Coffeegrinds: no i currently dont, unfortunatley, besides i think i would need some type of sound card in order to plug my guitar in or something..

[02:29] <interfear> Coffeegrinds: if your looking for stuff to record guitar there is this thing called GuitarPort made by line6 which is really cool, but it only works in winblows
[02:29] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: for personal use, i have two servers. one is linux and runs ssh. ftp. and samba, the other is windows and runs exchange
[02:29] <DoctorMO> Coffeegrinds: I'd be happy if I could get sound input at all, 2 sound devices, one should be set to input the other to output how hard does this seem?
[02:29] <gusgizmo> very handy
[02:29] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, that is why im wondering what other services should i need to learn especially on a desktop server
[02:29] <devster> aaand whats the proper package to install lame? is it toolame
[02:29] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: what do you mean by "desktop server," like your workstation?
[02:29] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, i have mysql+web+email+ftp on my workstation
[02:30] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, yes
[02:30] <interfear> syntaxx: sell shells !
[02:30] <interfear> lol
[02:30] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: on my workstation i just basically export my home directory a couple differemt ways for remote access to my files over the net and lan
[02:30] <Zambezi> Warbo, I'm not sure how you mean with "man bchunk". Where should I right the filename of the *.bin-file?
[02:30] <Coffeegrinds> DoctorMo: Doesn't surprise me one bit
[02:30] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: as well as allow remote shell access so i can tweak with it remotely if need be
[02:30] <pcfan> Why is ubuntu.com down ?
[02:30] <syntaxx> interfear, lol well my speed is not that fast though im just on 386kbps
[02:31] <Seveas> pcfan, /topic
[02:31] <interfear> pcfan: because its busy  taking over microsoft.com
[02:31] <Seveas> !bug1
[02:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about bug1 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:31] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: if you dont have it, you should setup openssh, and set your network up so you can ssh in over the internet
[02:31] <pcfan> OOOf
[02:31] <Warbo> Zambezi: "man bchunk" gives you the manual for bchunk. Type it into a terminal
[02:31] <word> !tell devster about lame
[02:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about lame - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:31] <word> meh
[02:32] <word> !tell devster about free
[02:32] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, well i have also my openssh forgot to mention it though
[02:32] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: have you played with tunneling at all?
[02:32] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, hmm not really
[02:32] <interfear> anyone here use audacity?
[02:33] <Warbo> interfear: I do
[02:33] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: you should mess around with it, and scp and stuff. and maybe vnc
[02:33] <interfear> Warbo: so essentially i could probably plug my guitar into the mic input on my soundcard and record in audacity?
[02:34] <interfear> i wonder how that would sound
[02:34] <alice> Are the repositories down?
[02:34] <gusgizmo> syntaxx: i find that setting up robust remote access is good practice
[02:34] <Warbo> interfear: Theoretically yes. I wouldn't know about the recording levels you would have to use
[02:34] <interfear> alice: topic
[02:34] <boga> is there a tool to log how much data I have down loaded thru an interface? I need this coz my ISP is ripping me off in my opinion. Thanx
[02:34] <interfear> Warbo: yeh.. ok. im gonna check that out thanks
[02:34] <syntaxx> gusgizmo, ok thanks
[02:34] <alice> I fell sheepish, thx
[02:34] <gusgizmo> does anyone have a good url for an alternate repository?
[02:34] <alice> *feel
[02:35] <protocol1> how do I change my repositories from donwloading from the US
[02:35] <interfear> man what they were just making on food network is making me drool.. .wild mushroom risotto w/ seared scallops
[02:35] <interfear> dam
[02:35] <protocol1> to like denmark or somwhere else
[02:35] <interfear> i want some
[02:35] <fyrestrtr> boga: ifconfig will give you that info
[02:35] <Seveas> gusgizmo, protocol1 just be patient and wait for them to restore the servers
[02:35] <boga> fyrestrtr: really! Let me see.
[02:36] <protocol1> Seveas. ok that sounds reasonable
[02:36] <fyrestrtr> boga: ifconfig eth0 | grep RX
[02:36] <fyrestrtr> there is another tool too, but now I'm forgetting what its called....
[02:36] <protocol1> I didnt know the servers were having issues
[02:36] <Warbo> boga: Check the system monitor
[02:36] <fyrestrtr> boga: oh yeah, vnstat :)
[02:37] <Zambezi> Warbo, The manual doesn't help me understand how I should convert the *.bin+*.cue-files to *.iso.
[02:37] <protocol1> Seveas. there was a kernel update
[02:37] <boga> fyrestrtr: Well, it does but what I need is how much I have down loaded or uploaded for a set period like a month in my case.
[02:37] <Warbo> Zambezi: I would install it myself and have a read, but the repos are down :(
[02:37] <fyrestrtr> boga: you need vnstat
[02:37] <miranda82> hello
[02:37] <boga> ok
[02:37] <boga> I'll google that. Thanx
[02:37] <Zambezi> Warbo, I can give the manual in pastebin.
[02:38] <omarkj> Hey, anybody here using the dovecot IMAP/POP3 server, I am having a problem using it with mySQL authentication.
[02:38] <miranda82> when i install something through apt, it works, but output is: Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/File.pm line 66, <$__ANONIO__> chunk 7536
[02:38] <Warbo> Zambezi: Good idea
[02:38] <miranda82> like 30 times..
[02:38] <protocol1> was it for a security issue or what?
[02:38] <whyameye> there is no firewall in the standard install of Dapper, correct? I'm trying to figure out whySkype isn't working.
[02:38] <Warbo> whyameye: IPTables is installed by default
[02:38] <Warbo> !firewall
[02:38] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[02:39] <fyrestrtr> shorewall has a web interface?
[02:39] <whyameye> Warbo: is there something I need to do to IPTables for Skype, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
[02:39] <Warbo> whyameye: Probably the wrong tree, but I haven't used Skype
[02:39] <whyameye> woof
[02:39] <Warbo> whyameye: If you have a router then that may be your problem
[02:39] <fyrestrtr> whyameye: by default, iptables lets everything through (iirc). So you might want to start checking with your router to see if ports are forwarded correctly. Also, some ISPs block Skype.
[02:40] <miranda82> when i install something through apt, it works, but output is: Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/File.pm line 66, <$__ANONIO__> chunk 7536, just like 30 times... it is a bit annoying...
[02:40] <dade`> my macbook still does not sleep
[02:40] <dade`> anyonw with a macbook that sleeps here ?
[02:40] <gusgizmo> is there a way to get apt to install a deb file?
[02:40] <Warbo> dade`: Neither do I
[02:40] <whyameye> Warbo, fyrestrtr: the weird thing is that it worked a few days ago. I wonder if the problem is on Skype's end...
[02:40] <dade`> i mean with ubuntu dapper
[02:40] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: dpkg -i foo.deb
[02:40] <phreq> Is anyone else having problems grabbing from Ubuntu reposis?
[02:40] <omarkj> gusgizmo: dpkg -i bar.deb
[02:40] <Warbo> gusgizmo: "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"
[02:41] <dade`> Warbo, you have a macbook ? what problems you see ?
[02:41] <dade`> (sleepin)
[02:41] <gusgizmo> omarkj: i know about that
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> phreq: us mirrors are down.
[02:41] <whyameye> Warbo, fyrestrtr: so firestarter is a GUI for IPTables?
[02:41] <bigfoot1> is ubuntuforums.org down?
[02:41] <Warbo> dade`: I don't have a Macbook. But I don't sleep :)
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> whyameye: yes.
[02:41] <pawan> error 17
[02:41] <Warbo> whyameye: Yes
[02:41] <gusgizmo> but so that apt will fetch it's dependiencies?
[02:41] <pawan> how to elminate
[02:41] <NeoNmaN> i need macro program to linux when i can record my mouse moves eny bardy can help me?
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> whyameye: so is shorewall.
[02:41] <phreq> +linux I picked a bad, bad time to upgrade to Dapper, then. :P
[02:42] <pawan> error loading grub
[02:42] <phreq> Er. Are any servers still up?
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> phreq: just change your mirrors in sources.list
[02:42] <Warbo> NeoNmaN: A screen cast type thing?
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> try au servers
[02:42] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: to what?
[02:42] <pawan> error 17
[02:42] <omarkj> gusgizmo: Nope, not to my knowledge. You would have to install the manually. Dpgk will tell you which deps you need.
[02:42] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: what is the url?
[02:42] <gusgizmo> omarkj: hmm, thanks
[02:42] <phreq> Just swap us.foo.bar with au.foo.bar?
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> phreq: it should would.
[02:42] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, yes when i can record all i type and move whit keybrodt and mouse
[02:42] <gusgizmo> ah, ok
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> err
[02:42] <omarkj> gusgizmo: Are you trying to install a deb file made for Ubuntu ?
[02:42] <fyrestrtr> it should *work*
[02:43] <phreq> Heh, thanks.
[02:43] <gusgizmo> no, im not trying to install anything right now, but i was curious
[02:43] <gusgizmo> i just did the dependencies by hand for a package earlier
[02:43] <Warbo> gusgizmo: If you install a package with dpkg -i then you can get any dependencies for it afterwards with "sudo apt-get -f install"
[02:43] <santa99> hi, I have a problem with the package system when i want to sudo apt-get update there is the following error message: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:43] <santa99> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[02:43] <ironfroggy> I was going to install eclipse, but i am not sure i really want to stick to it. when i remove it, will it remove the 30 or so dependancies that came along with it?
[02:43] <fyrestrtr> santa99: close synaptic
[02:44] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, you know whot program i can use?
[02:44] <santa99> fyrestrtr, this happens also when i close synaptic and do sudo apt-get update
[02:44] <fyrestrtr> ironfroggy: good question -- I don't think it does.
[02:44] <rr72> is the security pack server up? or any pack servers? i am getting time out errors, it might be me tho, internet is really slow
[02:44] <Zambezi> Warbo, http://pastebin.ca/97140
[02:44] <Warbo> NeoNmaN: For screencasts you can use X11VNC+PyVNC2SWF, XVidCap+GVidCap, Istanbul (which I think is broken) or Wink
[02:45] <illusina> Can someone try to apt-get install php5-dev
[02:45] <illusina> It seems that the achive.ubuntu.com site is not working
[02:45] <fyrestrtr> Warbo: I think he wants something he can play back, ala Word macros.
[02:45] <krism> What is a good CC.archive.ubuntu.com to use temporarily?
[02:45] <Mewshi> Top article on slashdot right now : "Microsoft's 12-step program"
[02:45] <fyrestrtr> illusina: servers are down momentarily. Try again later.
[02:45] <rr72> illusina~ same problem, thought it wax me
[02:45] <rr72> fyrestrtr~ ty
[02:45] <pawan> error 17
[02:45] <omarkj> santa99: There is a program somewhere using the apt database, synaptic maybe didn't close down cleanly, the update manager could be doing something.
[02:45] <pawan> how to elimintae
[02:45] <Mewshi> sounds a lot like AA >.>
[02:45] <illusina> When are they going to be back up??
[02:46] <ironfroggy> fyrestrtr: didnt think so. is there a way to remove dead dependancies? or does apt not track what was installed for dependancies and what i explicitly requested?
[02:46] <santa99> omarkj, how can i clean up ?
[02:46] <ironfroggy> maybe i should ask in #debian?
[02:46] <pawan> error loading grub
[02:46] <fyrestrtr> ironfroggy: I remember someone chatting about this earlier, but I don't remember the command.
[02:46] <pawan> how to solve
[02:46] <fyrestrtr> ironfroggy: there is a way though.
[02:46] <pawan> could not load ubuntu
[02:46] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Do you know when they are going to be back up?
[02:47] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Or of alternative servers?
[02:47] <fyrestrtr> illusina: sorry, I don't. You can try a different mirror though.

[02:47] <phreq> Woohoo!
[02:47] <phreq> Finally, I'm getting somewhere.
[02:47] <fyrestrtr> illusina: I think they are listed on ubuntu.com
[02:47] <Warbo> Zambezi: Looks like just "bchunk filename.bin filename.cue", if you don't have a .cue file then are you sure it is a CD image?
[02:47] <phreq> Aussie mirrors are up.
[02:47] <dade`> fyrestrtr, is that a yes ?
[02:47] <pawan> error 17
[02:48] <fyrestrtr> dade`: sorry, no. I just thought it was funny how you put it.
[02:48] <chris08> hi I have a sound problem: I hear the drum-like sound when I get to the log-in screen but I have no sounds inside gnome (no ubuntu start sound, no preview sound when hovering over ogg files, no sound in supertux)...
[02:48] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, i search a program when i can record my mouse moves and click play after that so i can play the same moves agin...
[02:48] <dade`> it's funny
[02:48] <Warbo> phreq: Not for long, since everyone's going to be using them :)
[02:48] <pawan> error loading grub
[02:48] <phreq> Using vim, just open /etc/apt/sources.list and then: :%s/us./au.
[02:48] <dade`> but does no work for me
[02:48] <fyrestrtr> pawan: stop repeating please.
[02:48] <Warbo> NeoNmaN: I don't know of anything like that
[02:48] <phreq> Assumin you're in the US.
[02:49] <pawan> how to recover partition
[02:49] <fyrestrtr> darn, my /home is 98% full
[02:49] <Warbo> pawan: gpart
[02:49] <Zambezi> Warbo, It shows the helpfile.
[02:50] <pawan> how to start gpart
[02:50] <Warbo> Zambezi: You gave it the bin/cue files?
[02:50] <Warbo> pawan: "sudo apt-get install gpart"
[02:50] <pawan> on the terminal window
[02:50] <pawan> from the live cd
[02:50] <Warbo> pawan: "man gpart"
[02:50] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Ubuntu.com won't even load D:
[02:51] <illusina> Anyone else experiencing this?
[02:51] <Warbo> illusina: Everybody
[02:51] <illusina> Oh dear!
[02:51] <illusina> Does someone have the aussie mirrors they can send me?
[02:51] <KBlair> Hi, I'm new. I want to install FMOD for a game I want to play but it gives me an "Permission denied" error when I try to copy the library to /usr/lib/, is there a way to identify myself?
[02:51] <pawan> can gpart format partitions
[02:51] <fyrestrtr> illusina: just change all instances of us. to au. in /etc/apt/sources.list -- sudo apt-get update
[02:51] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, IST OKAY
[02:51] <mrcoyote> Yep all
[02:51] <NeoNmaN> Warbo, ups capslock
[02:51] <illusina> fyrestrtr: Should I _change_ them, or just create duplicates?
[02:51] <fyrestrtr> !sudo > KBlair

[02:52] <gusgizmo> im updating my media center box to dapper
[02:52] <Zambezi> Warbo, I add filename.iso after your command and that worked.
[02:52] <Zambezi> Warbo, Thanks.
[02:52] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: yeah. water and a straight shot of fiber from a neighbor island
[02:53] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: im only three hops away from an aussie router
[02:53] <Warbo> Zambezi: OK, just that from the manual it looked like the <basename> was just for extracting individual tracks
[02:53] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: is bandwidth expensive in hawaii?
[02:53] <KBlair> Thanks.
[02:53] <phreq> Maybe Japanese or New Zelander servers?
[02:53] <phreq> Fo illusina, I mean.
[02:53] <santa99> is it possible that there are some repositories down today
[02:53] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: nope, im on 6000/768 cable for 49.95 a month
[02:53] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr:  not terribly expensive anyway
[02:54] <Warbo> We need to add !usrepo to ubotu :)
[02:54] <fyrestrtr> heh, depends on where you live -- bandwidth is like gold here.
[02:54] <fyrestrtr> or change the /topic :)
[02:54] <illusina> I can't even find the package I need on that server -.-
[02:54] <dade`> is there someone who has a macbook that sleeps with dapper ?? <-
[02:54] <fyrestrtr> illusina: do a apt-get update first
[02:54] <illusina> fyrestrtr: brilliant, good point
[02:55] <Warbo> dade`: OK, I could REALLY make a joke with that one :)
[02:55] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: where are you?
[02:55] <fyrestrtr> Kuwait
[02:55] <dade`> Warbo, feel free, it's Freesoftware
[02:55] <phreq> I have no bandwidth, I'm still on dialup. :'(
[02:55] <phreq> A situation which can't be remedied. Ah well.
[02:55] <illusina> fyrestrtr: But...but!  International bandwidth is cut off, and all three providers are on sat. backup. Not a happy week for me.
[02:56] <dade`> Warbo, under osx and parallels (virtual machine) i manager to sleep windows and linux together
[02:56] <dade`> -- no comment
[02:56] <gusgizmo> well, what used to be his country
[02:56] <santa99> is there a website were ubuntu repositories are listed
[02:56] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: what an ignorant thing to say.
[02:56] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: maybe all those umbrella drinks that you have are getting to you:P
[02:58] <Skaag> how large is the ubuntu archive?
[02:58] <orbin> santa99: repositories or packages?
[02:58] <Seveas> Ropechoborra, english only please
[02:58] <Skaag> packages
[02:58] <GaiaX11> How do i download photos from a digital camera in ubuntu? Which is the program to deal with them?
[02:58] <Seveas> Skaag, last time I checked 110gb, but that was before edgy opened
[02:58] <Skaag> i'm thinking about offering a middle east mirror for them
[02:58] <Skaag> ok not too bad
[02:58] <Zambezi> Warbo, Is was unsure about that too. I'm not friend yet with textmode. I've only been using Linux for about a month.
[02:58] <Warbo> There's about 16000
[02:58] <Ropechoborra> Seveas Sorry.. i was an /ame in other server .. xchat just send it to all servers =/
[02:58] <Warbo> packages

[02:58] <Skaag> thanks Seveas
[02:58] <Seveas> Skaag, and #ubuntu-mirrors is home to mirror admins
[02:59] <santa99> orbin, repositories seems as there are some repos down today so i have to find some other one
[02:59] <s_spiff> guys repos' down ? i cant get most of the lists from the repos in synaptic.
[02:59] <illusina> Does anyone have any mirrors other than the .au ones? They can't work?
[02:59] <fyrestrtr> GaiaX11: picassa or f-spot. Although if you plug it in, it should just work.
[02:59] <phreq> GaiaX11: Is it a USB camera?
[02:59] <santa99> s_spiff, me too
[02:59] <orbin> santa99: you can use a mirror: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive ... but the easiest way is to just change/remove/add the country code in the sources.list file
[03:00] <_rp> read the topic, says services are down
[03:00] <s_spiff> ok..will check it out orbin
[03:00] <santa99> orbin, ok thx
[03:00] <bigfoot1> is ubuntuforums.org down?
[03:00] <gusgizmo> fyrestrtr: so where does iraqs submarine connections go to?
[03:00] <orbin> actually, i think security.ubuntu.com is down:
[03:00] <GaiaX11> phreq: Yes, It is.
[03:00] <illusina> I think ubuntu got kicked in the face by the internet
[03:00] <orbin> bigfoot1: for me it is
[03:00] <s_spiff> orbin, loads of servers seems down... i cant get most of my lists man!
[03:00] <phreq> If it is a usb camera, you should be able to plug it in, and then the OS will mount the camera's storage in /media
[03:00] <fyrestrtr> gusgizmo: how tha hell should I know? I'm in Kuwait.
[03:01] <santa99> _rp, sorry I'm feeling dumb now can't even read sorry

[03:02] <intelligi> Ok.

[03:03] <Warbo> intelligi: Go to "burn:///" to make data CDs, or right click on iso files
[03:03] <oga> too many ads
[03:03] <oga> thought there might be an easy way
[03:03] <oga> i'

[03:04] <Warbo> intelligi: You may need some nautilus extension packages. Or just use GnomeBaker of K3B
[03:04] <intelligi> Do I just drag and drop files?
[03:05] <CrazyDoode> k3b rocks
[03:06] <orbin> do they mirror security.ubuntu.com?  i know it's down atm, but i've been meaning to ask.  <country-code>.security.ubuntu.com did not work.
[03:08] <MagicFab> is there any update blog / site outside of *.ubuntu.com to follow progress ?

[03:10] <rohan> oh, ok
[03:10] <Nene_wapetton> nadie en espaol
[03:10] <omarkj> rohan: Not all the mirrors are slow.
[03:10] <Nene_wapetton> #ubuntu-es
[03:11] <redcard> Actually, I've noticed a lot of the ubuntu sites down
[03:11] <redcard> From sometime yesterday through to today
[03:11] <Nene_wapetton> propblems with synaptic
[03:11] <Nene_wapetton> the server not update
[03:12] <Nene_wapetton> #ubuntu_es
[03:12] <omarkj> Nene_wapetton: Some of the servers that you're trying to connect to are down.
[03:12] <fyrestrtr> Nene_wapetton: /topic
[03:13] <Nene_wapetton> alguien sabe cual es el server espaol?
[03:13] <phreq> Hablo un poco de espanol, pero creo que este es canal de inglez.

[03:14] <phreq> It's somehwere around there, aye.
[03:14] <XVampireX> What happened to the website?
[03:14] <redcard> XVampireX: Topic.
[03:14] <Android`> how do i access my fat32 partition from ubuntu?
[03:14] <orbin> GStubbs43: ahh, the ol' guess the number :)
[03:14] <GStubbs43> uh huh, I made a few mods to it though.. timer specifically
[03:14] <XVampireX> ok
[03:15] <maxkelley> hi, can someone help me fix CUPS? It won't print anything, and it is printing over SMB
[03:15] <phreq> Android`: mout -t vfat <partitio ngoes here> /mnt
[03:15] <phreq> Also, see man mount
[03:15] <phreq> And ah... (fs|m)tab
[03:16] <phreq> Er, mout should be mount, sorry.
[03:17] <orbin> GStubbs43: woohoo, broke 10 seconds
[03:18] <GStubbs43> Woo! Good job, my best is like 6.xxx seconds
[03:18] <Manchester> nn svensk hr?
[03:18] <GStubbs43> It is different number every time so I can't cheat. ;)
[03:19] <phreq> Dial up is such a pain.
[03:19] <GStubbs43> That's why you get DSL.
[03:19] <boga> want to buy a cheap dual-head video card that's good on Dapper. Any ideas? I do not do 3d!
[03:19] <GStubbs43> :p
[03:19] <phreq> Can't. :P
[03:19] <GStubbs43> too bad.
[03:20] <phreq> boga: I think that cheap, nVidia GeForce cards work decently for just about any application.
[03:20] <phreq> The drivers are binary and nonfree, though.
[03:20] <phreq> Don't take my word on it though. :P
[03:20] <boga> thxn
[03:20] <Falc> Okay. Judging by the topic it's not just me who can't access the site.
[03:20] <mp3guy> in relation to ndiswrapper, what does SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no such device mean?
[03:21] <GStubbs43> nope, the site is down
[03:21] <Hawley> any idea when it will be back up?
[03:21] <reiki> Falc: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change us.archive to au.archive ... I just did this a little bit ago
[03:21] <shiv> when are ubuntuforums going to be up again?
[03:21] <Falc> I don't have Ubuntu yet..
[03:21] <reiki> oh!
[03:21] <phreq> Be careful which kind you buy though, of course. If you have just one AGP slot but a bunch of free PCI, get two PCI, of course.
[03:22] <Falc> I want to download Xubuntu. Google cache is err... mind blowingly confusing to use
[03:22] <dink> is there any reason why  us.archive.ubuntu.com is so slow today
[03:22] <phreq> It's down.
[03:22] <dink> alternative mirror then?
[03:22] <Android`> mount -t vfat <partition goes here> /mnt <-- what will my FAT32 partition be called?
[03:22] <_rp> http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/6.06/release/
[03:22] <GStubbs43> err... I just found an error in my script. 15.xxxxx seconds shows you got less than 15 and more than 15. shoot.
[03:22] <reiki> dink: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change us.archive to au.archive ... I just did this a little bit ago
[03:22] <Android`> #2 or something?
[03:22] <dink> thanks
[03:22] <phreq> Use the aussie servers (change us.foo.bar to au.foo.bar)
[03:23] <dink> have they posted why the us servers are down
[03:23] <homerh_linux> is there a reason why the sites down
[03:23] <tristanmike> tons of stuff is down, the ".ca" archive is down too
[03:23] <Lynoure> hmm...
[03:23] <foxgamer> Hi all. Just seen the topic that the ubuntu servers are down. Is there a time frame when they'll be available again? TIA
[03:24] <Zambezi> Is wine the best application to emulate windowsapplications?
[03:24] <homerh_linux> oh its a bige then
[03:24] <DrBanzai> How would I change file associations?
[03:24] <phreq> Android`: Try doing sudo fdisk /dev/hda but BE CAREFUL. :P Once in the program hit 'p', and it should should where your FAT partition is. Once that's done, hit q to get out of fdisk.
[03:25] <phreq> It will be like hda7 or something, so you would mount -t vfat /dev/hda7 ...
[03:25] <phreq> This is assuming you have only a single hard disk.
[03:25] <reiki> Zambezi, that probably depends on WHAT windows app
[03:25] <zsh> au servers are fast!!!! :-)
[03:26] <mp3guy> in relation to ndiswrapper, what does SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no such device mean?
[03:26] <GStubbs43> yay! I fixed it!
[03:26] <_rp> it?
[03:27] <maxkelley> _rp: ?
[03:27] <GStubbs43> my python script: http://www.geocities.com/gstubbs43/number.txt
[03:27] <_rp> ah k
[03:27] <maxkelley> GStubbs43: stop.
[03:27] <Falc> Hm...
[03:27] <GStubbs43> ;)
[03:27] <Falc> I can't get xubuntu from anywhere. :/
[03:27] <GStubbs43> I was telling _rp what "it" was.
[03:27] <UBUNTUSER___> hellou
[03:28] <maxkelley> Falc: sounds fun :)
[03:28] <Zambezi> reiki, An imagefile of a CD. It's "education", so I probably just need to install some files and the read from the iamgefile.
[03:28] <UBUNTUSER___> my sinaptyc have a problem
[03:28] <goonies> Falc, in order to use xfce on ubuntu do u need to get xubuntu?
[03:28] <phreq> Android`: Don't know if it helps, but this is Linux names IDE PATA drives as /dev/hda, hdb, hdc and h... nevermind. :P
[03:28] <maxkelley> goonies: no.
[03:28] <UBUNTUSER___> no download nothig
[03:28] <Falc> I don't know. I can't even download it yet!
[03:28] <phreq> I hope it didn't rewrite his partition table. Anyway, I'm out of here.
[03:28] <Lukian> How can I determine what the address of open screens are (the current one), in the form of 0:0 ?
[03:28] <goonies> whats the difference then in using xubuntu
[03:28] <UBUNTUSER___> anybody have a same problem with synaptic???
[03:28] <zsh> security.ubuntu.com is still failing. how do i work around that?
[03:29] <BeBraw> can you recommend some sites for a linux newbie?
[03:29] <dink> when i switch to the au servers it breaks when i try to install rails
[03:29] <maxkelley> goonies: xubuntu has it default-enabled and ubuntu-branded.
[03:29] <mwe> Reading the topic I guess I'm not the only one having problems with the mirrors?
[03:29] <jbroome> mwe: correct
[03:29] <mwe> damn :|
[03:29] <dink> which repositories have to be up for ruby on rails to work
[03:30] <goonies> where as ubuntu has gnome default-enabled and ubuntu-branded?
[03:30] <dink> cause this works when the american servers are up
[03:30] <maxkelley> goonies: correct :)
[03:30] <zsh> security.ubuntu.com is still failing. how do i work around that? please!
[03:30] <reiki> Falc: http://ftp.mirror.sptel.com.au/pub/xubuntu/releases/
[03:30] <goonies> maxkelley, but its basically the same system, just different default window managers
[03:30] <orbin> zsh: i asked if there were mirrors for it but nobody answered.
[03:30] <tristanmike> zsh: uncomment it from your sources.list file
[03:30] <seph> Are anyone familiar with bandwidth problems for the danish mirrors? I'm not talking about the current problems with the security updates
[03:30] <maxkelley> goonies: yeah, basically. I have ubuntu installed, but I use XFCE
[03:31] <seph> The danish mirrors seem to be very slow
[03:31] <goonies> maxkelley, what version of xfce is in the repos
[03:31] <jbroome> i'm not sure there are mirrors of security.u.c like there are of archive
[03:31] <zsh> thanks orbin tristanmike
[03:31] <Lynoure> I couldn't even access ubuntu.com or canonical's site... Maybe accidentally DDoSed by people looking up repos
[03:31] <Lynoure> (just speculation, though)
[03:31] <tuxtux> ciao
[03:32] <maxkelley> goonies: version <IP_ADDRESS> (Xfce 4.4 BETA1)
[03:32] <orbin> jbroome: damn.  thanks anyway
[03:32] <tristanmike> zsh: I actually meant "comment" them, as in, add the "#" to the front of the line. but don't forget to uncomment them when you're done :)
[03:32] <goonies> cool
[03:32] <zsh> tristanmike. i figured thats what u meant
[03:32] <goonies> will install when i get home later
[03:32] <orbin> seph: check if there's another danish mirror here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive  when the wiki gets back up
[03:32] <maxkelley> goonies: yeah, good choice.. I love XFCE
[03:33] <`DaGuy> !mtod
[03:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about mtod - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:33] <goonies> yeah, i got tired of 4.2 though
[03:33] <cga> hi all =)  && i'm using kubuntu is ok if i ask for help here or is there a kubuntu room?
[03:33] <Skaag> so winetools just installs ie6 like that?
[03:33] <seph> orbin: thank you
[03:33] <Seveas> cga, you can ask in here or in #kubuntu
[03:33] <jbroome> man, i'm glad i did my re-install yesterday. :)
[03:33] <maxkelley> goonies: I liked the little boxes at the end of the main panel..
[03:33] <cga> thx Seveas
[03:33] <maxkelley> dividers, whatever
[03:33] <goonies> yeah
[03:34] <tuxtux> reboot
[03:34] <goonies> does 4.3 support desktop icons?
[03:34] <raf256> Skaag: why use IE O_o ?
[03:34] <Skaag> raf256: my bank's site requires IE :-(
[03:34] <maxkelley> goonies: yeah, you can set it to file/launcher icons or minimized app icons
[03:34] <dmsantam> anyone used xgl here?
[03:34] <Skaag> raf256: the only site I really need
[03:34] <Seveas> !xgl
[03:34] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[03:34] <Skaag> dmsantam: i'm using it
[03:34] <Lukian> How can I determine what the address of open screens are (the current one), in the form of 0:0 ?
[03:34] <reiki> dmsantam, xgl and compiz? yes
[03:34] <linuxuser> are the ubuntu repository servers down at the moment? cannot connect to them now
[03:34] <raf256> Skaag: your bank suck balls. I would quit such bank instantly.
[03:34] <maxkelley> goonies: it'll default use files in ~/Desktop
[03:34] <dmsantam> Skaag, how'd you install it on ubuntu? apt-get install xserver-xgl. anything else
[03:34] <jbroome> linuxuser: /topic and yes
[03:34] <Seveas> linuxuser, /topic
[03:34] <santa99> linuxuser,  look at the topic
[03:35] <goonies> maxkelley, cool
[03:35] <dmsantam> raf256, in korea there is no bank that doesn't require IE :(
[03:35] <jbroome> Skaag: does FF's useragent switcher get you around that?
[03:35] <maxkelley> THE WORLD LOVES TOPIC!
[03:35] <raf256> dmsantam: korea sucks
[03:35] <linuxuser> ok sorry, thanks
[03:35] <Skaag> raf256: All bank sites in Israel require IE6 and up, there are no other banks
[03:35] <ndlovu> hi all. I'm trying to configure ubuntu to connect to the Internet through my mobile phone. anyone able to help?
[03:35] <dmsantam> raf256, their concept of interoperability sucks.. not the country :)
[03:35] <Skaag> jbroome: I tried that, it's horribly broken when I circumvent their checks
[03:35] <maxkelley> my mom's company forbids firefox.
[03:35] <Skaag> dmsantam: I followed the guide on the ubuntu forum, very simple and works in 2 minutes
[03:36] <raf256> well, thoes backs suck then
[03:36] <dmsantam> Skaag, oh ok. ill google for that. thanks
[03:36] <maxkelley> the scary part is, they're a financial company.
[03:36] <reiki> maxkelley, and the university I work at recomends firefox :)
[03:36] <dmsantam> is it stable?
[03:36] <Skaag> raf256: they really do suck! ;-)
[03:36] <raf256> who kicked me?
[03:36] <Skaag> dmsantam: very, i'm using it constantly
[03:36] <maxkelley> reiki: don't many?
[03:36] <dmsantam> excellent :)
[03:37] <Skaag> uh... what have I done...?
[03:37] <raf256> Skaag: it would seem Seveas kicked both of us O_o ?
[03:37] <iGadget> hi
[03:37] <raf256> Seveas: what in the hells name?
[03:37] <goatmale> What did you do skaag?
[03:37] <Skaag> I don't know
[03:37] <Seveas> raf256, please read the ubuntu code of conduct and adhere to it in here
[03:37] <dmsantam> Skaag, you mentioned Israel :P
[03:37] <Seveas> same for skaag
[03:37] <raf256> dmsantam: lol
[03:37] <Skaag> so? I live here
[03:37] <iGadget> does anyone know where I can change the default mount options for hotplug usb devices?
[03:38] <raf256> Skaag: you are in that coutry that just started a war? O_o scarry
[03:38] <Skaag> what exactly did I break in the COC?
[03:38] <_Spire_> Is it just me, or are the forums down?
[03:38] <iGadget> I tried /etc/fstab, but that's only for static devices
[03:38] <raf256> Seveas: where is the url?
[03:38] <Seveas> _Spire_, /topic
[03:38] <Seveas> !coc > raf256
[03:38] <dmsantam> !coc
[03:38] <iGadget> _Spire_: righto... ubuntu.com seems to be down

[03:38] <_Spire_> Seveas: ah! thanks.
[03:38] <Skaag> raf256: well I don't want to talk about it on #ubuntu, certainly, even though I disagree on the opening of a war thing...
[03:38] <santa99> is it possible to mount extern hard disks in gparted
[03:39] <goatmale> !offtopic
[03:39] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:39] <Skaag> santa99: if they are detected by the kernel, sure

[03:39] <raf256> !spank
[03:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about spank - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:39] <Skaag> santa99: are you talking about USB drives?
[03:39] <jkp> im having troubles with sudo:  it doesnt inherit the environ variables of the calling user.  is there some way to make it work like this?
[03:39] <santa99> Skaag, yeah I'm talking about USB drives
[03:39] <Skaag> santa99: no problem at all, use dmesg to monitor the plugging in/out events, and the devices created for the drive
[03:40] <Skaag> santa99: anyway under ubuntu, they will be mounted automatically under the /media folder
[03:40] <Skaag> santa99: so remember to unmount them first before you run gparted
[03:40] <santa99> Skaag, oh thats the trick to unmount it before
[03:40] <linuxuser> grrr, i need to install k3b to burn zenwalk to cd hehe
[03:40] <iGadget> Skaag: do you know where I can change the default mount options for such devices?
[03:41] <Skaag> santa99: yah, ubuntu is being friendly by auto mounting, which is great, but if you are going to make changes to the partitions, gulp... ;-)
[03:41] <Skaag> iGadget: i'm affraid I don't know how to disable auto-mounting for specific partitions/devices...
[03:41] <linuxuser> so did the ubuntu repositories get dos attacked?
[03:41] <Seveas> linuxuser, no
[03:42] <zsh> seveas what happened
[03:42] <linuxuser> first time ive ever seen any repositories go down
[03:42] <santa99> Skaag, yeah it worked great thx
[03:42] <goonies> jeez, people still dos attack
[03:42] <Seveas> zsh, I don't know the details
[03:42] <Skaag> santa99: sure.
[03:42] <goonies> thats so 90ish
[03:42] <XVampireX> What's the easiest way to network 2 ubuntu computers?
[03:42] <iGadget> Skaag: I don't want to disable it, just change the umask
[03:42] <Skaag> goonies: imagine what happens if they start to windows attack, or even linux attack..!
[03:42] <XVampireX> I mean, how can I access my brothers computer, for example.
[03:42] <Skaag> iGadget: you can do that in /etc/fstab
[03:43] <Skaag> XVampireX: vnc
[03:43] <zsh> xvampireX do you have a crossover cable
[03:43] <goonies> lol
[03:43] <XVampireX> I need to trade files
[03:43] <Seveas> XVampireX, nfs
[03:43] <XVampireX> crossover cable?
[03:43] <iGadget> Skaag: no... I checked, that's only for 'static' devices
[03:43] <iGadget> Skaag: not for hotplug usb devices
[03:43] <XVampireX> Ah
[03:43] <fourat> Ubuntu archives mirrors are down ?
[03:43] <goatmale> how can Install ubuntu on a computer that doesn't boot off a cd?
[03:43] <goatmale> yes for a day now fourat
[03:43] <Skaag> iGadget: ok there is a hotplug directory system with the ability to create scripts for before/after mounting
[03:43] <Seveas> fourat, /topic
[03:44] <zsh> xvampirex a cable that directly connects two nics
[03:44] <jkp> can someone tell me why sudo env and env give different outputs for PATH ?
[03:44] <Skaag> iGadget: I read about it but I never tried it personally
[03:44] <XVampireX> No, I'm connected through a router
[03:44] <iGadget> Skaag: ok, I'll check
[03:44] <Skaag> XVampireX: you can share a directory with ubuntu, easily
[03:44] <sloof3> jkp: Think about that..
[03:44] <karl> can someone please remind me how to configure the "Desktop" to use my home dir, not the /home/uname/Desktop folder?
[03:44] <XVampireX> How?
[03:44] <goatmale> sudo gedit /etc/apt/ sources.list
[03:44] <jkp> sloof3: I would say it was because you become root and inherit its environ vars
[03:44] <_Spire_> karl: you can symlink your Desktop folder to home folder
[03:45] <Skaag> XVampireX: System -> Administration -> Shared Folders
[03:45] <sloof3> jkp: You would be right
[03:45] <jkp> but i read that this should not happen
[03:45] <jkp> sloof3: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/pdf/Path.pdf
[03:45] <karl> _Spire_: well, yes, but I did it with a click option somewhere in the past
[03:45] <jkp> search for sudo env in that
[03:45] <karl> and symlinking would make a recursive loop on teh desktop folder
[03:45] <_Spire_> karl: a click option?
[03:45] <XVampireX> Skaag, I tried that in the past.... my brother couldn't see the folder?
[03:45] <Seveas> aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh it's apokryphos
[03:45] <_Spire_> karl: in gnome ?
[03:45] <karl> somewhere, yes
[03:45] <iGadget> Skaag: hmmm... seems like /etc/hotplug doesn't exist anymore in dapper
[03:46] <jkp> sloof3: it inherits all the rest of my environ vars
[03:46] <apokryphos> dundun dun
[03:46] <iGadget> re Seveas
[03:46] <jbroome> WTG apokryphos you ran him off
[03:46] <Skaag> iGadget: then it must have been replaced with something else... surely...?
[03:46] <_Spire_> karl: I'll get back to you in a second
[03:46] <jbroome> udev replaced hotplug, IIRC
[03:46] <apokryphos> jbroome: nope, unfortunately he's back
[03:46] <nanaki_yamabushi> I have a problem? is the ubuntu server down?
[03:46] <Skaag> XVampireX: strange, we are using ubuntu here at work, and we can all see each other's shared folders
[03:46] <iGadget> Skaag: yes, probably udev, but I can't find the right script there
[03:46] <Skaag> XVampireX: make sure the network name is the same (mshome I think)
[03:46] <Seveas> nanaki_yamabushi, /topic
[03:46] <apokryphos> 8)
[03:47] <tortoise__> is the ubuntu site down for anyone else?
[03:47] <XVampireX> Does my brother need anything special?
[03:47] <Skaag> tortoise__: topic..!
[03:47] <nanaki_yamabushi> any idea how long it will take?
[03:47] <gnoshi> has anyone looked at minisip or minisplat?
[03:47] <Seveas> nanaki_yamabushi, no
[03:47] <ayeeee> Hi, ive installed xfce4 and i want gnome back, what shall i type?
[03:47] <Seveas> ayeeee, pick gnome when logging in
[03:47] <Skaag> ayeeee: type: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! ;-)
[03:47] <nanaki_yamabushi> damn. then i need to make sure, my laptop does not shut down
[03:47] <jkp> sloof3: help me out then - im trying to find a way around the fact that some python install scripts im using will only work a: as root, and b: if the environ is correct
[03:47] <Rambaldi> have you removed gnome?
[03:48] <Skaag> ayeeee: j/k, what seveas said
[03:48] <Rambaldi> if not you can swich when logging in
[03:48] <jkp> running sudo python install.py doesnt work
[03:48] <sloof3> jkp: sudo won't modify the variable but of they are different for root than the normal user then they should be different
[03:48] <jkp> because it doesnt have the correct path set
[03:48] <Skaag> nanaki_yamabushi: being a laptop that's not a big issue, since it has a battery..?
[03:48] <sloof3> jkp: so set the path
[03:48] <ayeeee> Seveas: ive done but it loads "xfce" anyway
[03:48] <Seveas> jkp, then those install.py scripts are wrong
[03:48] <jkp> Seveas: they depend on PATH to find the pre-requiste libs
[03:49] <fortran01> Why are the apt-get mirrors so slow?
[03:49] <jkp> not sure how they could do ti better
[03:49] <jbroome> fortran01: /topic
[03:49] <fyrestrtr> fortran01: /topic
[03:49] <Seveas> jkp, they shouldn't really
[03:49] <Rambaldi> ayeeee, you can propably swich the desktop enviorment when you log in
[03:49] <fortran01> im sorry
[03:49] <apokryphos> fortran01: check the /topic
[03:49] <ayeeee> Rambaldi: how?
[03:49] <Rambaldi> if you havent uninstalles gnome
[03:49] <jkp> Seveas: using standard functonality for install.py scripts
[03:49] <Rambaldi> depends
[03:49] <Rambaldi> look in the options. it will say something like session
[03:49] <Seveas> jkp, you can do sudo -i, set path and then run install.py
[03:49] <nanaki_yamabushi> no it is a dell and loves to overheat easily. and i do not want it to shut down, where after I have to seek over 3000 installs. I had to reinstall ubunut, had troubles after I changed something.
[03:50] <_Spire_> karl: :( I can't seem to find anything.
[03:50] <jkp> Seveas: yeah, sucky though
[03:50] <karl> _Spire_: it's in gconf->apps->nautilus->prefs->desktop_is_home_dir
[03:50] <Rambaldi> you can also remove xfce
[03:50] <karl> (just found it again)
[03:50] <Rambaldi> type sudo apt-get remove xfce4
[03:50] <jkp> so there is no way of just getting sudo to inherit my environ in its entirety?
[03:50] <fortran01> I'm sorry.I'm noob. I don't know how to show the topic.ok ive seen it.Thanks!
[03:50] <_Spire_> karl: thanks :) seems you found it.
[03:50] <julian> Yo, could anyone offer a sitrep? Seems like tons of repos are down as is ubuntu.com and ubuntuforums.org
[03:51] <Rambaldi> I remember that webmin was in the repositories, has it been deleted?
[03:51] <Seveas> Rambaldi, yes
[03:51] <U1221> are the Ubuntu servers down at the moment? can't get to ubuntuforums.org or ubuntu.org
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> julian: sitrep is in /topic
[03:51] <Rambaldi> ok thx
[03:51] <_Spire_> U1221: /topic
[03:51] <jbroome> U1221: /topic
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> U1221: /topic
[03:51] <ayeeee> what shall i "apt-get" to reconfigure gnome?
[03:52] <ayeeee> i want it back :(
[03:52] <Lynoure> hmm
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:52] <tuxtux> please for plugin audio to kaffeine-dvb?
[03:52] <Rambaldi> exactly
[03:52] <jbroome> i haven't seen this many kicks in here before. :)
[03:52] <SmokeyD> hey all another question. I heard some people talk about a music player they preferred above xmms. So I had the impression it was more simple like XMMS, and not like Amarok, Rythmbox, Banshee, etc.
[03:52] <SmokeyD> Any ideas?
[03:52] <Skaag> jbroome: yah it's definitely different here atm ;-)
[03:53] <ayeeee> where can i download dapper? the ubuntu site is down.
[03:53] <Seveas> SmokeyD, beep-media-player
[03:53] <Rambaldi> you cant ayeeee
[03:53] <jbroome> ayeeee: /topic
[03:53] <Seveas> ayeeee, se.releases.ubuntu.com
[03:53] <SmokeyD> oh yeah that was it
[03:53] <nanaki_yamabushi> beep is not bad
[03:53] <goatmale> smokey maybe kaffiene
[03:53] <SmokeyD> thanks Seveas
[03:53] <SmokeyD> no it was bee[
[03:53] <SmokeyD> beep*
[03:53] <Skaag> apokryphos: maybe add a link to mirrors?
[03:53] <karl> thank you apokryphos
[03:54] <SmokeyD> ayeeee: I can put an image on my webserver
[03:54] <Seveas> Skaag, people should not change mirrors
[03:54] <apokryphos> Skaag: it's not just repos, it's launchpad, etc
[03:54] <SmokeyD> can you download it fm there
[03:54] <Seveas> they should be *patient*
[03:54] <Skaag> oh I see!
[03:54] <leahciMic> what are the reasons for the down time ?
[03:54] <SmokeyD> where do you live, which country
[03:54] <nanaki_yamabushi> say what is a good desktop switcher if you have like Gnome, KDE and X-server running?
[03:54] <ayeeee> SmokeyD: your welcome to do that.
[03:54] <ayeeee> upstream?
[03:54] <gnoshi> leahciMic - you know internode has dapper mirror on their mirror server....
[03:54] <SmokeyD> 100Mbit
[03:54] <gnoshi> mirror.internode.on.net
[03:54] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: running or installed?
[03:55] <SmokeyD> up and down
[03:55] <ayeeee> okay, place it please.
[03:55] <leahciMic> yes i am aware... was more interested in the ubuntu forums. jsut wanting to update a news article
[03:55] <iGadget> does anyone know where I can change the default mount options for hotplug usb devices?
[03:55] <gnoshi> ah.
[03:55] <Seveas> iGadget, please stop repeating
[03:55] <blueswirl> does anyone know where the files for the fortune program are kept in ubuntu? the directory listed in the man page is for debian i think
[03:55] <nanaki_yamabushi> I have 3 desktops installed. and would like at times 2 or all running, what is a good desktop switcher for it
[03:55] <SmokeyD> just a sec ayeeee, gotta put it there for a sec
[03:55] <nanaki_yamabushi> without changing user
[03:56] <Seveas> blueswirl, dpkg -L fortunes
[03:56] <iGadget> Seveas: glad someone notices me :P
[03:56] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: it's not that simple. You'd have to run different X sessions
[03:56] <zsh> blueswirl: ubuntu is a debian based system. what works for debian works for ubuntu
[03:56] <nanaki_yamabushi> well I could run Gnome and KDE together, but switching between them I had to switch users, but I use the same user name.
[03:56] <blueswirl> Seveas, is that the actual files for the program fortune, or the text files it uses to generate the fortunes?
[03:56] <_Spire_> zsh: most of the time. not all the time
[03:56] <iGadget> Seveas: I'd check the wiki before asking in here, but hey... they're down
[03:57] <blueswirl> zsh, true, but the directory given still doesn't work ;-)
[03:57] <SmokeyD> oh, shit ayeeee, I've only got the amd64 version
[03:57] <SmokeyD> sorrt
[03:57] <SmokeyD> sorry*
[03:57] <ayeeee> oh.
[03:57] <zsh> _sphire: i'm yet to find a package that worked for debian but doesnt for ubuntu
[03:57] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: yes, but you'd have to run them on different X servers if you were going to do it in any proper way
[03:57] <zsh> blueswirl: let me try
[03:58] <nanaki_yamabushi> but how to do it then?
[03:58] <apokryphos> zsh: no, please don't suggest that. Ubuntu is not Debian, and you can quite easily break your package management system if you go around installing debs
[03:58] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: have multiple X servers
[03:58] <blueswirl> zsh, cheers
[03:58] <apokryphos> it's a little more intensive on your ram, needless to say
[03:58] <nanaki_yamabushi> but how to run it?
[03:58] <Falc> Can someone please tell me amirror for Xubntu?
[03:58] <enyc> nanaki_yamabushi: you can 'switch user' and login as yourself again......
[03:58] <zsh> apokrphos: ok. i'll take your word for it.
[03:59] <Falc> Preferably one closer to the UK....
[03:59] <apokryphos> nanaki_yamabushi: something like Xorg :1 -ac is enough to start it up. Then you have to launch the DE
[03:59] <enyc> nanaki_yamabushi: im sure there are other ways
[03:59] <MistaED> nanaki_yamabushi, go into applications>accessories>alacarte menu editor and under system tools enable "new login" so the icon is in the application menu, then just click on it to run, this is just if you want to spawn another gdm and just ctrl+alt+F* between them that way
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> that is what I did enyc
[03:59] <goonies> would there be any reason for my computer to be louder on linux than it is on xp
[03:59] <rsk> goonies: it yawns ;)
[03:59] <goonies> lol
[03:59] <ayeeee> i have a strang problem. When i "leftclick" (mouse1) on my touchpad in a terminal it scrolls up for some reason. ANyone have that problem and the solution?
[03:59] <Skaag> goonies: It's having more fun!
[03:59] <enyc> goonies: what part where how lauder?
[03:59] <goonies> sounds like roaring
[03:59] <MistaED> nanaki_yamabushi, that's probably the easiest way, point & click
[03:59] <xordae> goonies: maybe it regulates the fans differently?
[03:59] <goonies> xordae, that could be it
[04:00] <nanaki_yamabushi> Okay thanks folks
[04:00] <goonies> enyc, i really cant tell where the sound is coming from, having really investigated it like that yet
[04:00] <iGadget> ohwell... seems like I'm not asking the right questions here
[04:00] <iGadget> cya
[04:01] <enyc> goonies: it could just be powernow/cpufreqscale whatnot (not) happening for some reason
[04:01] <enyc> goonies: which means more heat... whichmeans thermo-controlled fan goes faster...
[04:01] <goonies> i see
[04:01] <goonies> guess that would be an option in the kernel
[04:01] <enyc> goonies: but I thought dapper runs cpufrqd whatnot always
[04:02] <goonies> enyc, to tell you the truth, i havent really investigated if it runs louder on ubuntu
[04:02] <enyc> goonies: well dapper has cpufreq stuff compiled in....
[04:02] <goonies> i noticed on gentoo
[04:02] <goonies> i have just installed ubuntu yesterday
[04:02] <enyc> goonies: but it also needs userspace program to set the speei
[04:02] <goonies> i see
[04:03] <zsh> apokryphos, cool thanks
[04:04] <enyc> goonies: try "ps -ef | grep cpu"
[04:04] <enyc> goo
[04:04] <_roman_> hi all - i tried to install dapper-server on an epia system and all i get afeter installation is a rebbot after unpacking the kernel - the normal dapper kernel worked fine - is the server kenrel somewhat diffent?
[04:04] <enyc> goonies: unless you specifically installed that tool in gontoo it probably wanst there
[04:04] <_roman_> is the server kernel a 386 kernel?
[04:04] <goonies> enyc, it most likely wasnt
[04:04] <goonies> enyc, im not at home right now, perhaps you can help me out later with this if your around?
[04:05] <_roman_> am i able to set another kernel but the default kernel in the installer?
[04:05] <enyc> goonies: may well not be...
[04:05] <goonies> when i type that command what should i see
[04:05] <sasper> hey everyone. i just installed the latest ubuntu version and am having trouble with grub (ie i can't boot at all). i've got a main harddrive with 3 partitions (windows, linux, swap). grub is giving me an error 15 when i try to boot. i did have hoary installed previously, but wiped the partition during installation. i've googled all i can with no help.
[04:05] <enyc> goonies: that may show you what processes are running that mention 'cpu' in their name ;-)
[04:05] <blueswirl> zsh, any luck?
[04:06] <scipio_africanus> !grub
[04:06] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:06] <enyc> goonies: I was wondering if you saw a 'cpufreq'
[04:06] <nanomad> why so many services are down? what happened?
[04:06] <goonies> and the proggy that uses it is userspace?
[04:06] <zsh> blueswirl, not yet
[04:06] <ndlovu> okay, it seems that the kernel module cdc-acm is available for communicating with my mobile phone... any idea how to use it?
[04:06] <_rp> someone pissed on a server
[04:06] <blueswirl> zsh, okey dokey
[04:06] <rsk> shuttleworth stole em lol
[04:06] <nanomad> _rp, lol
[04:06] <h|barbobot> zombies attacked shuttleworth
[04:07] <nanomad> lol...no one knows, uh?
[04:07] <h|barbobot> president dracula from nigera is ping flooding them
[04:07] <sasper> scipio_africanus: none of those pages work
[04:07] <goatmale> !ping
[04:07] <ubotu> pong
[04:07] <rsk> !pong
[04:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about pong - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:07] <nanomad> sasper, look at topic...
[04:07] <_roman_> is it possible to install another kernel but the default kernel in the server intaller?
[04:07] <ayeeee> i have a strang problem. When i "leftclick" (mouse1) on my touchpad in a terminal it scrolls up for some reason. ANyone have that problem and the solution?
[04:07] <enyc> seems that '<IP_ADDRESS>/20' has fallen off the BPG map
[04:07] <[Wiebel] > hmmz
[04:08] <[Wiebel] > how do i tell wpasupplicant to start per default on boot
[04:08] <[Wiebel] > there is no init script
[04:08] <enyc> hence aimless.aaisp.net.uk (<IP_ADDRESS>) 23.382 ms !N  and no 'www.ubuntu.com'
[04:08] <_roman_> and is www.ubuntu.com down for one of you too?
[04:08] <nanomad> !ping
[04:08] <ubotu> pong
[04:08] <enyc> its down for 'everybody'
[04:08] <Rambaldi> topic!
[04:08] <Rambaldi> read the topic
[04:08] <_roman_> thx enyc
[04:08] <scipio_africanus> sasper: it looks like a bunch of websites are down
[04:08] <ayeeee> lame that there is no mirrors
[04:08] <nanomad> !topic
[04:08] <ubotu> I know nothing about topic - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:09] <_roman_> :) rambaldi
[04:09] <xordae> ayeeee: that sounds like a problem with your xorg.conf.. im no expert, maybe do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg .. and change the mouse?
[04:09] <sasper> exit
[04:09] <leahciMic> what other websites are down is it just ubuntu or are other hosts effected as well ? and does anyone know the cause ....... ?
[04:09] <enyc> _roman_: www.ubuntu.com A <IP_ADDRESS> in the DNS.... and '<IP_ADDRESS>/20' has fallen off the BPG map at my ISP
[04:09] <mad_slackie> hi all
[04:10] <raffy> hello
[04:10] <ayeeee> my install is fuckedup, i better reinstall.
[04:10] <xordae> ayeeee: there should be an entry for wacom tablets and stuff like that in the xorg.conf too.. maybe google it up ><
[04:10] <ayeeee> where can i get the "xgl" thingy?
[04:10] <Rambaldi> it is in the repositories
[04:10] <enyc> it means that the BGP router that advertises '<IP_ADDRESS>/20' to the world has become disconnected or stopped working or under a crazy DoS attack that stops that router talking to its BGP peers
[04:10] <Rambaldi> ayeeee,
[04:10] <ayeeee> Rambaldi: yes? =)
[04:10] <mad_slackie> can someone try and if archive.ubuntu.com is down, please
[04:10] <Rambaldi> you need a lot of libaries as well
[04:10] <ayeeee> no apt package?
[04:10] <mad_slackie> i can't connect to it
[04:11] <Rambaldi> wait..
[04:11] <xordae> ayeeee: yeah, activate all repositories in synaptic and make a search for xgl
[04:11] <nanomad> try to change repository
[04:11] <_roman_> still - well it might not be the best time in history to ask - does anyone know whether the server kernel in dapper is a 386 kernel? Well it be stange if not but it would explan my reboot problem...
[04:11] <ayeeee> ill reinstall ubuntu later so i try then.
[04:11] <goatmale> mad slackie look at the topic
[04:11] <enyc> mad_slackie:  archive.ubuntu.com only has A records in  <IP_ADDRESS>/20 and hence down
[04:11] <sven-tek> The gentoo mirror system is much better than everything in debian and ubuntu. In my mind we'll have to learn and adapt that.
[04:11] <mad_slackie> i see
[04:11] <mad_slackie> thx
[04:12] <Rambaldi> ayeeee, install sxerver-xgl and compiz-gnome
[04:12] <nanomad> sven-tek, you can change the repository
[04:12] <ayeeee> How can i copy text? i dont have any mouse3...
[04:12] <Rambaldi> ayeeee, then you need to start in
[04:13] <sven-tek> nanomad, in gentoo i define a list of sync'ed repositorys and if one is down, it takes the next one.
[04:13] <Rambaldi> do you want me to send you a script?
[04:13] <enyc> ayeeee: press both mouse buttons simultaneously
[04:13] <ayeeee> ill try
[04:13] <orbin> _roman_:  the 386 kernel is default across the ubuntu lineup iirc
[04:13] <nanomad> sven-tek, you can do that in ubuntu too...just add several repos
[04:13] <Lord_Athur> hi, is there any problem with the ubuntu pages?
[04:13] <nanomad> sven-tek, and wait the one down to timeout
[04:13] <_roman_> orbin: well i thought so thanks
[04:13] <ardchoille> !easysource
[04:13] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[04:13] <sven-tek> nanomad, i tried but i got duplicate errors.
[04:14] <tribalfuse> ubuntu is down?
[04:14] <tribalfuse> web?
[04:14] <orbin> tribalfuse: /topic
[04:14] <tribalfuse> awwww
[04:14] <nanomad> tribalfuse, look at topic
[04:14] <nanomad> sven-tek, strange ... it works here (using 2 ubuntu repos)
[04:15] <tribalfuse> yeah the repos are working, i guess... even i did an update today
[04:15] <zsh> blueswirl: I've just installed it. it owrks fine for me. what exactly was the problem with yours
[04:15] <ayeeee> i want to fix my mouse :(
[04:15] <nanomad> tribalfuse, repos down atm
[04:15] <profoX`> tribalfuse: archive.ubuntu.com is down, ubuntu.com is down
[04:15] <sven-tek> nanomad, could you paste you sources.lst somewhere so i can look what i've done wrong?
[04:15] <tribalfuse> is it... was fine abt 2 hrs ago :)
[04:15] <nanomad> sven-tek, sure...gimme a minute
[04:16] <tribalfuse> dont they have mirror servers?
[04:16] <zsh> exit
[04:16] <blueswirl> zsh: well, i've written my own text file for use in fortune. i've used strfile to make it all nice for fortune, but when i do the command fortune file, it says file is not a fortune file. so i man fortune, found the directory it gave me, but that doesn't exist on my system
[04:16] <Bison> hi guys
[04:17] <zsh> blueswirl: let me try
[04:17] <Bison> hello
[04:17] <blueswirl> zsh, cheers
[04:17] <sven-tek> anyway, i like the gentoo way of having mirror-servers on allmost any university - so i can choose the nearest one.
[04:17] <tribalfuse> Bison: hi are my mushees ready :)
[04:17] <Bison> um...
[04:17] <orbin> Bison: hadouken
[04:17] <Bison> haha
[04:17] <dD0T> Could it be that ubuntu.com is down?
[04:18] <orbin> dD0T: /topic
[04:18] <Bison> is it possible to copy the entire home dir plus hidden to another directory?
[04:18] <tribalfuse> Bison: in case you were wondering, its the dung of bisons and lightning that creates magic mushees :) thought you were somewhere in that process
[04:18] <sven-tek> dD0T, no you're only nightmare
[04:18] <nanomad> sven-tek, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18689
[04:18] <nanomad> sven-tek, it is quite simple...
[04:18] <Bison> tribalfuse: huh, thought that was strictly cows
[04:18] <dD0T> orbin: Sry, the topic was so long...only saw the last 5 lines ;)
[04:18] <jbroome> Bison: look at rsync
[04:19] <Bison> rsync??
[04:19] <orbin> dD0T: i didn't read it either lol
[04:19] <tribalfuse> Bison: sure you can, sudo cp -R (dir) (destination dir)
[04:19] <Bison> tribalfuse: that doesn't copy all the .* files
[04:19] <mister_roboto> from channel title, by "ubuntu services are down", is one of the us.archive.ubuntu.com, for example?
[04:19] <dD0T> orbin: Well, I read it (kind of...) but it was so long it didn't fit into the bar displaying it ;) Anyway! Any info WHY it is down?
[04:20] <tribalfuse> oops doesnt it?
[04:20] <raider-ukr> hi everyone. how can I login by root? what's default password for it?
[04:20] <_Spire_> mister_roboto: almost all of the mirrors are down, it seems
[04:20] <_Spire_> !root
[04:20] <gnomefreak> mister_roboto: looks like more than just that

[04:21] <LiquidNerd_> ahhhh
[04:21] <alex-weej> Does anyone know precisely what the heck it is that keeps making my packages NOT AUTHENTICATED all the time?  I can't get it work with openGL, but I can see on the GENTOO-wiki that someone has getting it working with XGL (using driver:X.Org/6.9.0,version = 1.4.1) and that means that it should support openGL, doesn't it? can somone help me?

[04:23] <Falc> What is an alternate install CD and what is a desktop CD?
[04:23] <blueswirl> zsh, running the command fortune by itself produces a random adage, if that's what you mean
[04:23] <Stormx2> why are many ubuntu services down? :(
[04:23] <JoKoT4> Hello ppl, what's happen with security.ubuntu.com ?
[04:24] <Bison> Falc: alernative install is the old ncurses installer.  DesktopCD is the LiveCD + graphic installer

[04:24] <goatmale> this is insane... READ THE TOPIC EVERYONE
[04:24] <mister_roboto> lol   someone should put up a wiki page, or an ubotu help message for this problem, at least temporarily

[04:28] <Andy-> sec
[04:28] <zealot> is it just me, or are archive.ubuntu.com and us.archive.ubuntu.com apt repositories timing out?
[04:28] <Bison> methinks copying .* between home dirs was a mistake
[04:28] <Hexidigital_> cello_rasp::  au mirrors work
[04:28] <frogzoo> gnomefreak: hmm... is this fall out I'm wondering from when debian was hacked, hmmm?
[04:28] <ompaul> cello_rasp, ie.archive.ubuntu.com will work for you
[04:29] <narfnastier> _roman_, server leaves out stuff like SMP IIRC
[04:29] <gnomefreak> adrian__: dont know yet

[04:35] <Andy-> ompaul, yeah
[04:35] <gnomefreak> ompaul: i read it
[04:35] <cello_rasp> certain shopping sites arent resolving, it may well be dns
[04:35] <Enverex> ffs, everyone shut up about the repos. They are down, they will be back up when they are back up.
[04:35] <frogzoo> Andy-: apt is moving towards torrent, so won't present a problem once that's in place
[04:35] <nate_02631> Bookmarks work fine though
[04:35] <Bison> chillout nate_02631 i'm trying to help
[04:35] <Stormx2> nate_02631: I don't understand what you mean by firefox shortcut links o.O
[04:35] <nate_02631> Bison - sorry just restating ?/ to make it clearer ;)
[04:35] <Enverex> frogzoo, erm, will that be optional? I can't say I have upstream bandwidth to spare
[04:35] <nate_02631> Stormx2, ones that I drap to the desktop - i.e. not in my bookmarks menu
[04:35] <bmsleight> is problems with bonobo-activation-server related to Ubuntu servers being down ?

[04:36] <aston> Rpa are bombed by russian "Katiusza" rockets, and servers are down.
[04:36] <frogzoo> Enverex: of course, but for some of us, it'll be a huge improvement
[04:36] <Bison> okay, your shortcut links on desktop...right click and go to open with another app
[04:36] <Enverex> frogzoo, How so?
[04:36] <adrian__> aston: nikt Cie nie czyta.
[04:36] <adrian__> ;<
[04:36] <frogzoo> Enverex: well, for one thing, the repos won't go down :)
[04:36] <aston> ;<
[04:36] <nate_02631> Bison - they don't have that option...
[04:36] <Enverex> Are there any other repos with packages not in the normal repos that people recommend? Third party ones I mean, useful packages, etc (that aren't on that ubuntulinux.nl page)?
[04:36] <nate_02631> .... and not i properties either (no open with tab)
[04:36] <krism> anyone had any luck installing the nVidia nForce drivers on 6.06? can't figure out how to get Ubuntu to use the proper module for my sound card

[04:37] <frogzoo> !easysource > Enverex:
[04:37] <krism> Ronz: pretty much, yeah
[04:37] <Bison> look at the commands to open those links
[04:37] <Enverex> Ronz, > #winehq
[04:37] <cello_rasp> frogzoo: I'd like to see how much memory it would take to host the entire repos on your machine would be @_@
[04:37] <zealot> nate_02631: right click and go to properties. Then go to open with and click firefox. That will change the default to open in firefox.
[04:37] <frogzoo> !easysource > Enverex
[04:37] <Bison> or just make shortcuts that say 'firefox <url>'
[04:37] <nate_02631> zealot - thanks but that option isn't there....
[04:37] <cmug> Whats up with ubuntu.com?
[04:37] <Enverex> frogzoo, Did you read what I wrote? I said EXCLUDING that page
[04:37] <zealot> cello_rasp: probably less than 100GB

[04:40] <me> at some random boots, lm_sensors complains that it cannot find i2c devices. also, some other random boots have powernowd claim that my cpu doesn't support it. finally, when i try to reboot, my system goes down fine, but hangs when attempting to return
[04:40] <me> any thoughts as the why?
[04:40] <krism> stefg: the problem is choosing a specific module (e.g. nvidia supplied) rather than OSS vs. ALSA.

[04:41] <stefg> krism: so what hardware do you have exactly? nvidia-chipsets usually use the i8x0 audio driver
[04:41] <Hexidigital_> fool2cool::  read your private message from ubotu
[04:41] <krism> stefg: the snd_hda_intel
[04:41] <me> frogzoo, lm_sensors works in almost all boots, but not all of them. what should vary between boots. the system never hangs at cold boot (over 100 repetitions),
[04:41] <lingenfr> giving up
[04:41] <fool2cool> yes tht doesnt help the perl aspect
[04:41] <Bison> shouldn't it be better to have that in a wiki?
