[18:26] <lyhana8> what's the matter with ekiga, he can detect my webcam despite cheese can
[18:26] <brant> and dpkg
[18:26] <brant> so the system boots and runs
[18:26] <LjL> brant: sounds awful. have you run smartmontools (and perhaps badblocks) to make sure your drive wasn't physically damaged?
[18:26] <brant> but samba won't work
[18:26] <danking> LjL: Bah!  I hate it when it's not my fault that something isn't working.  That always makes it harder to fix...
[18:26] <brant> a few other things won't because apt-get is gone as is dpkg and python
[18:27] <geeksquad1> my desktop STILL wont work
[18:27] <brant> LjL, well no but if I get it rolling I can just ghost it
[18:27] <brant> to a new drive afterwards
[18:27] <geeksquad1> it is a hp w2207
[18:27] <brant> fsck is clean now
[18:27] <defrysk> rainium_mint, sound like you have to do a grub rescue
[18:27] <rainium_mint> brant cant you just download a .deb package from ubuntu?
[18:27] <defrysk> rainium_mint, to get back into ubuntu
[18:27] <geeksquad1> and rebooting and trying to fix x wont work
[18:27] <LjL> brant: i'd still do the checks before reinstalling, or you might end up with another broken (possibly subtly broken) install
[18:27] <rainium_mint> how do i do that defrysk?
[18:28] <pbeanbag> is there something like kppp but better suited for gnome?
[18:28] <LjL> rainium_mint: he said dpkg is gone...
[18:28] <rainium_mint> ahh..

[18:29] <horstle> i just wanted to hear some mp3...
[18:29] <rainium_mint> defrysk, how do i do a grub rescue?
[18:29] <LjL> brant: uhm - it would seem that current Ubuntu CDs have a "rescue" option built-in (been long since i actually ran an Ubuntu CD...)
[18:29] <defrysk> rainium_mint, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[18:30] <rainium_mint> do  think id be better off just installing fedora and getting it over with?
[18:30] <geeksquad1> how do i change my screen resoulution to somthing not listed it the little app that lets you change it
[18:30] <defrysk> rainium_mint, in this case its after installing fedora, but its about the same procedure
[18:30] <n8tuserf> brant -> i coud be wrong, but doing a  debootstrap to a directory installs the basic ubuntu dir structure, very basic,
[18:30] <rainium_mint> ok
[18:31] <rainium_mint> thanks for the help

[18:36] <LegendaryDarkKni> Hello, people i need a little help. I run Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop and i want to set up an VPN connection, having ethernet connection working, and with admininstrator rights. Add button seems to be disabled. Thanks beforehand
[18:36] <brant> n8tuserf, how do I do that? I'm not familiar
[18:37] <n8tuserf> brant read this please https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot  to setup a new install basically
[18:37] <brant> ok thanks :D
[18:38] <Apolo> ubuntu-br
[18:38] <LegendaryDarkKni> hey... Help please...
[18:38] <Othor> Legendary
[18:38] <Othor> what add button?
[18:39] <LegendaryDarkKni> In the connections window... You know, accessible trough tray (or whatever is it called properly, i switched just yesterday)
[18:39] <Titan8990> LegendaryDarkKni, you have to click unlock
[18:40] <LegendaryDarkKni> Titan8990, uh, the problem is, i don't SEE the button. Could you please screenshot it?
[18:40] <oCean_> LegendaryDarkKni: first install the vpn plugin
[18:41] <oCean_> LegendaryDarkKni: "sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn"
[18:41] <Dreamglider> how do i set "no" poxy in terminal ?
[18:41] <Dreamglider> proxy
[18:41] <Titan8990> LegendaryDarkKni, I don't use GUIs
[18:41] <S7UMPY> anyone know how to get a webcam to work with ubuntu 8.10?
[18:41] <brant> n8tuserf I can't install debootstrap  .deb file
[18:41] <brant> dpkg is missing
[18:41] <Titan8990> LegendaryDarkKni, thus, I don't even have a GUI network app
[18:41] <oCean_> !webcam | S7UMPY
[18:41] <LegendaryDarkKni> Will try.... Apt-get is acting somewhat strange, though, it does not even install aplications listed in help file
[18:41] <Titan8990> LegendaryDarkKni, but I do know that 8.04 added "unlock" buttons to things such as that
[18:42] <Othor> Titan8990: there is not unlock oh the gui in 8.10... i just checked
[18:42] <Dreamglider> i set the network proxy to use Direct connection but apt and synergy still say that ISASRV(school proxy) could not be resolved
[18:42] <Titan8990> LegendaryDarkKni, try configuring in /etc/network/interfaces
[18:42] <LegendaryDarkKni> where is this /etc?
[18:42] <oCean_> Titan8990: Othor nm manager vpn plugin needs to be installed
[18:42] <oCean_> LegendaryDarkKni: after installing vpn plugin the button will be enabled
[18:43] <Titan8990> oCean_, wasn't aware, I wil back up from helping on this one
[18:43] <Titan8990> LegendaryDarkKni, / is the root directory a UNIX filesystem so /etc/ is a directory on the root of the filesystem
[18:44] <marqueed> how can i tile my windows to fit the screen size equally?
[18:44] <n8tuserf> brant -> i dont know then, i would think debootstrap is already installed on yours, its the diff version for newer ones that you have to download
[18:44] <LjL> LegendaryDarkKni: just try typing "sudo apt-get install openvpn", then your VPN-related button in the network config applet might get enabled
[18:44] <oCean_> Titan8990: np, vpn setup through cli / file editing might be hard for a 2nd-day-linux-user :)
[18:44] <UncleD-> Anyone understand this error with pcre when compiling php5? pcre keeps crashing my php5 compilation: http://pastie.org/406229 <---
[18:44] <LegendaryDarkKni> is openvpn included in system, just not installed? I wonder why do i must install stuff myself? I don't even know about it
[18:44] <Titan8990> UncleD-, mentioned something earlier, why aern't you using th package manager?
[18:44] <nivalis> marqueed, you can use a tiling wm?
[18:44] <nikkose> hello
[18:45] <nikkose> id like some help with firefox java plugin
[18:45] <marqueed> nivalis: by that, you mean?
[18:45] <Titan8990> UncleD-, I am fairly certain php is built with gd from the repositories, you just need to enable it in php.ini
[18:45] <oCean_> LegendaryDarkKni: on the install cd there is a default collection of software. So after installing, you can add tons of software you like/want/need etc
[18:45] <bakarat> do i need the "groovy" package to execute groovy scripts on the commandline?
[18:45] <LjL> oCean_: he's gone...
[18:45] <oCean_> LjL: a well.. :(
[18:45] <nikkose> which java firefox plugin should I install?
[18:46] <nivalis> marqueed, a window manager that tile the windows for you, if you want your windows to be tiled by default that is.
[18:46] <marqueed> nivalis: what would my options be?
[18:46] <oCean_> nikkose: "flashplugun-nonfree"
[18:46] <oCean_> nikkose: ow sorry.. java
[18:47] <nivalis> marqueed, dwm, wmii, ratpoison, stumpwm, awesome, to mention a few
[18:47] <Titan8990> marqueed, I believe that there is a compiz function that will do it, not 100%
[18:48] <default> audio just flaked out..   how do I start it again without rebooting?
[18:48] <marqueed> Titan8990: there's maximumize, similar
[18:49] <malakhi> nikkose: I personally use openjdk-6-jre, but the Sun JRE is sun-java6-jre
[18:49] <willa> is there any link to "how to join to fedora domain controller"?
[18:50] <UncleD-> Titan8990: i'm not using the package manager because gd is not properly working and i found a forum where people had the same problem.
[18:50] <Titan8990> willa, domain controller, as in, and LDAP server?
[18:50] <f0wl> hey there
[18:50] <willa> yes...like LDAP server
[18:50] <f0wl> short question
[18:50] <nivalis> marqueed, there is also grid, but that seems like a lot of bloat for making the windows tile?
[18:50] <f0wl> i just killed gnome/gdm and booted from live cd
[18:50] <Titan8990> willa, and what are you wanting to authenticate to the ldap server? users that log in?
[18:50] <f0wl> is there a way to reinstall these packets onto the harddisk from the cd ?
[18:51] <_VIM_> !enter | f0wl
[18:51] <willa> Titan8990 yes i want just login but i can't
[18:51] <marqueed> grid: another wm?
[18:51] <nivalis> marqueed, no its a plugin for compiz
[18:52] <marqueed> nivalis: there has to be a simpler way - i just want a keyboard shortcut that fits two windows side by side, three windows left top bottom, four to corners, etc
[18:52] <Titan8990> willa, I still feel I am short on information but I believe this will help: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/solutions/ldap-auth-pam.html
[18:52] <n8tuserf> default -> like a reboot not really,  sudo telinit 1  then when you're in single user, telinit 2
[18:52] <Othor> default: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[18:53] <willa> Titan8990 thanks i will read it
[18:53] <f0wl> _VIM_: k, noted, but is there also another advice you can give me related to my question?
[18:53] <nikkose> malakhi, thanks :)

[18:56] <_VIM_> f0wl: I just re-read your question, but im not entirely sure what you mean, are you trying to install Ubuntu from a live CD or are you just trying to use it like to chat and stuff on?
[18:56] <nivalis> marqueed, what is your current window manager?
[18:57] <marqueed> compiz
[18:57] <LjL> !latest | IdentifyTarget
[18:57] <Sepero> shadewind: It would be risky, but you could try adding the next version of Ubuntu to your sources.list. Other than that, probably compiling is your only option.
[18:57] <marqueed> nivalis: the grid plugin isn't packaged?
[18:57] <Pici> Sepero, shadewind: Please do NOT add the development version of Ubuntu to your sources, it will break things.

[18:59] <Wessel> hello, small question: can u set in Ubuntu (gnome) on desktop 1 t there are two panels visible, and on desktop 2 just 1 panel?
[18:59] <f0wl> _VIM_: i am using ubuntu as workingstation, bad thing is, i just installed ISPConfig locally to try it out before installing it on a server. bad thing about is, that it deselected a lot of packages, that were essential to a nice GUI, like gnome and gdm, and in my stupidity i did not check the list of packets that will be autoremoved by apt-get, and now gdm & gnome are gone. my question is, how can i install particular packet
[18:59] <f0wl> s onto the harddisk from the live cd - without doing a complete reinstall of ubuntu from the live cd
[18:59] <S7UMPY> is there a way to burn a .dmg file on ubuntu?
[19:00] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: 0.8.4a appears to be in backports, according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/lirc/0.8.4a-0ubuntu2~intrepid1
[19:00] <Titan8990> f0wl, you would have to set up a chroot envirnmnet
[19:00] <f0wl> how can i install particular packets from the live cd onto the harddisk without doing a complete reinstall of ubuntu
[19:00] <_VIM_> f0wl: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should do it
[19:00] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: or at least slated for backports
[19:00] <Sepero> shadewind: getdeb.com
[19:00] <josh-l> hi all, should Opera be in the multiverse/universe repos?
[19:00] <Titan8990> f0wl, would be much easier from the terminal of your actual install

[19:00] <IdentifyTarget> !backports
[19:00] <_VIM_> OPera is closed source
[19:00] <LegendaryDarkKni> It... did not work....

[19:01] <josh-l> _VIM_: I know
[19:01] <NeoDragon> vtec: use samba

[19:01] <josh-l> oh
[19:01] <AlbaT> can anyone pls give me some nice link how to map network drive whats is in localhost but in other pc but in linux partition thnks
[19:01] <Sepero> shadewind: yeah. They may not have it, but the program you need, but the site is useful none the less
[19:01] <vtec> i will try
[19:02] <roffie> #help
[19:02] <LegendaryDarkKni> it said that network-manager-openvpn was not found
[19:02] <josh-l> _VIM_: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser its in archive.canonical.com ... isnt that universe or multiverse?
[19:02] <Titan8990> AlbaT, what type of share is it? smb? nfs?

[19:03] <oCean_> !br | rodrigo_
[19:03] <rodrigo_> ok
[19:03] <_VIM_> josh-l: the way i installed it was getting the .deb from Opera's website
[19:03] <shadewind> Sepero: I'm getting it from Debian instead...
[19:03] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: it actually is in backports, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=lirc&searchon=names&suite=intrepid-backports&section=all confirms it, although it doesn't show up in my own Intrepid install. i don't know why.
[19:04] <monra> any ideas?? Should I maybe ask this in the #c channel?
[19:04] <Sepero> shadewind: k

[19:04] <f0wl> off
[19:04] <josh-l> _VIM_: yeah just odd that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser says it wrong
[19:04] <IdentifyTarget> I'm using hardy :(
[19:04] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: you're out of luck then, unless you request a hardy backports and get it done
[19:05] <Othor> LegendaryDarkKni: see if this thread helps   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974882
[19:05] <_VIM_> josh-l:  If i remember correctly Opera is in 8.04
[19:05] <IdentifyTarget> all I have to do is add it to my sources.list right?
[19:05] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: though honestly, you can't really complain that packages are not the latest version if you're not using the latest version of ubuntu ;)
[19:05] <_VIM_> !info opera

[19:05] <Sepero> !opera
[19:05] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: no. adding an intrepid repository to hardy may, and generally will, have ill consequences.
[19:05] <IdentifyTarget> yea yea well the latest one has a bug that prevents my app from working
[19:05] <LegendaryDarkKni> i'll explain my problem again. I tried to setup a VPN connection and add button was disabled. I was told to "sudo app-get install network-manager-openvpn" but it did not find the package
[19:06] <mchelen> is it possible to use pulse audio with soudblaster live 5.1?
[19:06] <plsd> Does anyone here use Jaunty? I reported a bug in Ubuntu 8.10 and it received a comment from someone using Jaunty saying he apparently doesn't have that problem. I don't use Ubuntu anymore so I can't give it a try myself but if someone here wants to the bug is in Seahorse, and it's this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/291268
[19:06] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: you *may* try to install the *single* package from intrepid-backports, *without* adding the whole repository. that's still not guaranteed to work, and you may end up with broken packages.
[19:06] <_VIM_> its not 'app' its 'apt' LegendaryDarkKni
[19:06] <IdentifyTarget> http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43075
[19:06] <mchelen> !jaunty
[19:06] <LjL> IdentifyTarget: if you still want to do it, download the file at http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/i386/lirc/download and run gdebi on it.
[19:06] <LegendaryDarkKni> woops. yeah apt-get... whatever, it just said that package was not found
[19:07] <_VIM_> LegendaryDarkKni: do 'apt-cache search vpn'
[19:07] <Ienorand> Is kpackagekit equivalent to add/rem + update-man from gnome+
[19:07] <Sepero> !netsplit
[19:08] <josh-l> anyone have opera installed via a repository? I cant seem to add it... using either ubuntu repos or deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable nonfree
[19:08] <oCean_> LegendaryDarkKni: you just installed right? Might want to do "sudo apt-get update" first. Then search for the package: "apt-cache search openvpn"
[19:09] <_VIM_> LegendaryDarkKni: do you have all your sources enabled? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources
[19:09] <LegendaryDarkKni> wait a second... do i need to have a install-cd in my drive?
[19:09] <Ienorand> Is kpackageKit supposed to ask for sudo pwd on start?
[19:09] <_VIM_> LegendaryDarkKni: not unless the box is not connected to the internet
[19:09] <oCean_> LegendaryDarkKni: no, it will try and fetch download locations (repositories) from internet

[19:11] <LjL> i have a TV card with a remote control. the remove seems to be recognized, because an infrared-related module is loaded, and it shows up as /dev/input/event5 apparently. but if i "cat" that, or try to use lirc, nothing ever happens. ideas?
[19:11] <tonybaloney867> I'd rather it not scan my whole 80GB external hard drive every time I plug it in :)
[19:11] <oCean_> Othor: he has to do the apt-get update first, for the packages to be found

[19:13] <ActionParsnip> BorkisDrizzt: get the w32 or w64codecs from medibuntu
[19:14] <Joseph> Hello i was wondering how to do you make an Email server?
[19:14] <LjL> ActionParsnip: uhm, never used xev - should something show up in its window, or should i look in the console output? and do i just start it as "xev" with no options?
[19:14] <_VIM_> Joseph: try in ##networking
[19:14] <BorkisDrizzt> ActionParsnip: shouldn't things like that get installed with the Restricted-extras package?
[19:14] <oCean_> !mta | Joseph
[19:14] <Wicked> bah bluetooth is broken on intrepid :(
[19:14] <Joseph> is it a download
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> BorkisDrizzt: not sure, its worth a butchers
[19:15] <nightrid3r> !MailServer
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> LjL: run it in terminal and when you press the buttons, make a note of the codes
[19:15] <LjL> ActionParsnip: no, nothing happens
[19:15] <vtec> so, i installed samba but i don't know how i do now
[19:15] <Joseph> oh so you have to ask an host or can we host it on Unbuntu?
[19:16] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i am assuming it is recognized because "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" gives Name="saa7134 IR (Kworld/Tevion V-Str" Handlers=kbd event5
[19:16] <_VIM_> you can host it on your ubuntu Joseph
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> LjL: you can see what it does if you press keys on your keyboard and special media keys if you have some
[19:17] <LjL> ActionParsnip: it does stuff even when i just move my mouse. but nothing at all when i press buttons on the remote.
[19:17] <_VIM_> Joseph: i'd get ubuntu server edition for mail server personally, NOT the desktop one :)
[19:17] <Joseph> kool so i could  have like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:17] <Joseph> I should have a Server one
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> LjL: then the reciever isnt generating inputs for the system
[19:17] <Titan8990> Joseph, as long as you own the domain, you can do what you want with it
[19:18] <kristian1> sudo apt-get install xxxxx is very useful, but only if you know the name (xxxxx), how can i browse/search the content via cli?
[19:18] <Titan8990> Joseph, however, mail servers are rather difficult to set up, configure, and maintain
[19:18] <Joseph> do you have to purchase it?
[19:18] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i guess, but in that case i wonder why it's recognized as an input device in the first place...
[19:18] <_VIM_> Joseph: yep you could do that with dyndns.org's free DNS names
[19:18] <Titan8990> Joseph, no, this is linux :)
[19:18] <Dillizar> can i install ubuntu with wine, emulating that i am installing ubuntu in windows??
[19:18] <Dillizar> :)
[19:18] <Joseph> I mean the email DOmain
[19:19] <Titan8990> Joseph, only if you wanted what is know as "groupware" which includes functions like calender synchronization
[19:19] <Joseph> oh na
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> LjL: what remote control set is it?
[19:19] <Joseph> ill just keep the emial basic
[19:19] <Titan8990> Joseph, ah, typically, yes, but if you already own a domain, you will just need to configure the MX records
[19:19] <_VIM_> for the domain name you'll need a free DNS or buy one
[19:19] <Joseph> so i could prob host it on my PC and rent email domains?
[19:19] <LjL> ActionParsnip: oh, it's a quite totally unknown card, "Empire Premium TV". i know the chipset is SAA7134, and that's about all i know
[19:20] <Titan8990> Joseph, a domain is a domain, there is nothing that makes a domain an "email" domain
[19:20] <Joseph> i mean like
[19:20] <_VIM_> Joseph: doubtful anyone would purchase email though a home server
[19:20] <Joseph><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:20] <_VIM_> email account*
[19:20] <Cyclist> Titan8990: thank you for the suggestion; I read that page but there was nothing that seemed applicable to my case; I will try installing other [mainly] audio players: if succeeds, I will remove and reinstall Rhythmbox [but this does not seem to be the cause of my problem: more of a misconfiguration kind, I believe...]
[19:20] <Joseph> can you have<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:20] <Joseph> Zopicmate is my custom website doamin
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> LjL: what does lsusb identify it as?
[19:21] <Titan8990> Cyclist, I would recommend trying VLC, it works with everything
[19:21] <oCean_> kristian1: use "apt-cache search <string>" like "apt-cache search php"
[19:21] <Joseph> you can`t be so sure LOL
[19:21] <Dillizar> Cyclist what is your problem
[19:21] <_VIM_> Joseph: this is getting offtopic, try asking in ##networking :)
[19:21] <ewook> question - how does NetworkManager in 8.10 (ubu) make the 'call' when using a usb-3g-dongle, I thought it was pon and poff, but it never added a profile - so my question is then, how do I replicate the settings so I could use pon and poff?
[19:21] <Joseph> kk
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> LjL: i'm guessing the remote control thing is usb based
[19:21] <kristian1> oCean_ : ok, thanks! will give it a try. :-) do you by any chance know what the "-y" does here: "sudo apt-get -y install sauerbraten"?
[19:22] <dongch> dje
[19:22] <dongch> just a test
[19:22] <ewook> kristian1: -y = yes to all
[19:22] <MFen> anyone know how to make gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=foo actually work? it's supposed to put a new tab in an existing window, and it's broken
[19:22] <MFen> i always get a new window instead
[19:22] <Cyclist> Titan8990: thank you, again
[19:22] <oCean_> kristian1: have you tried "man apt-get" ? The -y flag actually is a 'assume yes' on all questions asked during install
[19:22] <Titan8990> Cyclist, np
[19:22] <mchelen> how do i enable pulse audio to use with soudblaster live 5.1?
[19:22] <LjL> ActionParsnip: no, it's a PCI card, and the remote sensor plugs in by means of a headphones-like plug
[19:22] <kristian1> ewook : thanks.
[19:22] <kristian1> oCean_ : thanks.
[19:23] <mpenar> Witam
[19:23] <thecookie> How would I install grub on my disk? Some how during the installation it was "installed" on the usb drive I booted from.
[19:23] <joakimk> I'm syncing a C++ project between work (fedora 10) and home (ubuntu 8.10). At work, #include <libpq-fe.h> compiles, but at home I need to edit to #include <postgresql/libpq-fe.h>. People at #C++ recommended I'd just move the library here on my home laptop, to get equal paths. How do I do that?
[19:23] <LjL> ActionParsnip: (it was quite likely a terrible purchase - for starters, it seems it stops my computer from automatically turning off)
[19:23] <_VIM_> !sound | mchelen
[19:23] <LjL> ActionParsnip: the remote does work in Windows so it's not the hardware's fault in and of itself
[19:23] <Titan8990> joakimk, just use a symlink to point to the location you want
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> MFen: wrong sysntax, try --tab-with-profile-internal-id=PROFILEID
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> MFen: http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/gnome_terminal
[19:24] <joakimk> Titan8990: Would you please explain? :)
[19:24] <zicho> anyone using pcsx?
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> LjL: ok cool so what does lspci say the card is?
[19:24] <kristian1> oCean_ : oh. i didn't realize that apt-get had a manpage. ;-) thanks.
[19:25] <MFen> ActionParsnip: ok, what should PROFILEID *be* then?
[19:25] <LjL> ActionParsnip: 00:09.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)
[19:25] <Titan8990> joakimk, if your lib is in say, /usr/lib/mylib and you needed to be in /usr/lib/somethingelsehere/mylib you would do: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mylib /usr/lib/somethingeslehere/mylib
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> MFen: the name of the profile of terminal, you may need to view the settings to get the profile name
[19:26] <LjL> kristian1: virtually every console command has a manpage
[19:26] <xSlack> Has anyone here ever used gnump3d,. if so message me
[19:26] <joakimk> Titan8990: so (just to be safe), sudo ln -s /usr/include/postgresql /usr/include
[19:26] <joakimk> Titan8990: is that correct?
[19:26] <MFen> ActionParsnip: i don't think that does what you think it does
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> LjL: does the tv card work ok?
[19:27] <Titan8990> joakimk, uhh no
[19:27] <Guus1982> ola
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> MFen: i dont use gnome-terminal but theres a man page for it and i couldnt see the option in there that you stated
[19:27] <MFen> ActionParsnip: --tab-with-profile is in fact an option, it just doesn't do what i thought it did (talking on ##gnome).  --tab-with-profile-internal-id is documented as being something the shell itself uses to do session management
[19:27] <_VIM_> !nl | Guus1982
[19:27] <Guus1982> ive got a question about laptop powermanagement
[19:27] <Titan8990> joakimk, you are symlinking to a location that postgresql is already at
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> MFen: i see
[19:27] <LjL> ActionParsnip: mostly, some trouble changing channels, and the audio doesn't work unless you pipe /dev/dsp1 into /dev/dsp, but it "works"
[19:28] <dongch> Akasha
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> LjL: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/saa7133saa7135-tv-tuner-help-513915/
[19:28] <_VIM_> dongch: language?
[19:28] <kristian1> LjL : true, but for some reason i must have made up my mind that apt-get was not a "real" command. :-P
[19:28] <ewook> I'll ask again - NetworkManager can handle 3g-usb-dongle and sets up the connection. How to call it from bash? I thought it was pon and poff, but njet luck there.
[19:28] <joakimk> Titan8990: It seems to me the difference between work and home is the postgresql dir. I want to move the lib to it's parent dir, on my laptop. But that appears to be /usr/include...? No?
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> LjL: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-411639.html
[19:29] <Titan8990> joakimk, well, that command would have symlinked the directory /usr/include/postgresql to /usr/include BUT its already in /usr/include
[19:30] <joakimk> Titan8990: yes, I see
[19:30] <dongch> - -!
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> LjL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/234655
[19:30] <LjL> ActionParsnip: thanks, but those don't mention the remote... they mention the module options for the card itself, but i've set them already
[19:30] <joakimk> Titan8990: But, it being in /include, why do I have to #include <postgresql/libpq-fe.h>?
[19:30] <joakimk> Titan8990: how can I make it so I can do #include <libpq-fe.h>
[19:31] <_VIM_> dongch: do you have a question?
[19:31] <Guus1982> my laptop wont hibernate after closing the lid
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> LjL: have you installed lirc?
[19:32] <Titan8990> joakimk, try: sudo ln -s /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h /usr/include

[19:33] <LjL> ActionParsnip: yeah, i've tried that too. but it doesn't have my chip listed, so i just had to configure to use /dev/input/eventX as its source, which goes back to the problem that there's nothing there

[19:36] <MFen> blizzkid: thanks, does terminator allow you to remotely attach a tab?

[19:36] <RatPackSopra-> Hello Guys, got a simple question ...I'm running 8.10 and I'm ashamed to admit that I've never used a virtual machine ...never really had a reason to, but after seeing that I "might" be able to run iTunes from a VR (I must use iTunes since I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch) I'd like to give it a try. I have Sun xVM VirtualBox installed, but I'm not sure if it's the best choice. I have a bunch of silly questions like; do I have to ins
[19:36] <RatPackSopra-> tall the OS (e.g. Win XP) and others. Is there a good channel or a better VM to use?
[19:36] <joakimk> _VIM_: yep ;)
[19:37] <blizzkid> MFen: well.. terminator isn't really tabbed, rather split, but you can zoom in to one terminal
[19:37] <blizzkid> attaching a tab... no
[19:37] <_VIM_> RatPackSopra-: ask in #vbox
[19:37] <MFen> blizzkid: boo then. i really need that
[19:38] <Scunizi> RatPackSopra-: Virtualbox works great and yes.. you have to install anything from win200 to vista in the vm to get accesss to itunes.
[19:38] <tonyyarusso> joakimk: you would do a for loop in bash to get a file listing and the create a link for each member of that.  (#bash for syntax details)
[19:38] <MFen> blizzkid: (this sure looks like tabs to me: http://software.jessies.org/terminator/ )
[19:38] <joakimk> tonyyarusso: so the solution is to make a bunch of symlinks, for all .h files in postgresql/ ?
[19:38] <Ian__> xchat hangs on too many channels?!
[19:38] <Scunizi> RatPackSopra-: also if you installed the version available directly from virtual box you're better off because the one in the repo's doesn't have usb support which you'll need of course for the ipod

[19:40] <joakimk> tonyyarusso: know what? After linking libpq-fe.h and the other file, postgres_ext.h, which -fe.h apparantly needs, my C++ project compiles with just #include <libpq-fe.h> :) That's what I want to do

[19:59] <notmeeeeee> Droopsta915: you could use locate
[19:59] <Pici> Droopsta915: find /path/to/folder -name "*something*"
[19:59] <notmeeeeee> or find
[19:59] <bindaas> find . -iname file*
[20:00] <Pici> Droopsta915: -iname is case insensitive, check the find manpage for more options
[20:00] <notmeeeeee> basically i want to kill x
[20:01] <kesi> hi all, is wicd a good option if I'm having problems connecting to WPA networks?
[20:01] <iowershtfj> ZykoticK9, how  do i execute that command?
[20:01] <marko-_-> notmeeeeee, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[20:02] <ZykoticK9> iowershtfj, is it a deb your installing?
[20:02] <iowershtfj> yes ZykoticK9
[20:02] <notmeeeeee> marko-_-: first thing i tried. that kills X but gdm just restarts again
[20:02] <jeffjeffdejeff> can someone please try and connect to my pc? (remote desktop) let me know if you get a login prompt
[20:02] <ZykoticK9> iowershtfj, use the regular command line deb install but add "--force-architecture"
[20:03] <marko-_-> notmeeeeee, i'm not a pro, but you could kill x-session-manager
[20:03] <hwilde> hi I have two monitors and i'm running two separate x screens.  when my mouse and keyboard focus are only on the right monitor for awhile, both monitors start to dim and go into sleep mode.  only activity in the left xscreen wakes it up.  how can I fix it so it recognized activity in both xscreens?
[20:03] <marko-_-> or gdm ? i don't know, i guess it will always restart itself... i'm not 100% sure... just remove it if you don't want it
[20:03] <notmeeeeee> right back into X again
[20:04] <kristian1> is there any game for linux such as age of empires 2?
[20:04] <iowershtfj> ZykoticK9, how do i open it in terminal?
[20:04] <Audio> hi , is there anybody who ever seen an Maudio AUDIOPHILE 192 working with MIDI in Ubuntu ? tks for answers
[20:05] <homy> Hi, I have a question with evolution: How can I set per-recipient rules for signing emails with pgp? I want most contacts to recieve signed mail but I prefer some specific contacts to revieve unsigned mail. Now, how do I do that without disabling signing manually when composing mail?
[20:05] <ZykoticK9> iowershtfj, application / accessories / terminal
[20:05] <DIFH-iceroot> kristian1: age of empires 2 with wine
[20:05] <ZykoticK9> iowershtfj, do you want the full command?
[20:05] <Audio>  hi , is there anybody who ever seen an Maudio AUDIOPHILE 192 working with MIDI in Ubuntu ? tks for answers
[20:05] <iowershtfj> yes
[20:05] <iowershtfj> please
[20:05] <LionKing> Selam..
[20:05] <ray_ray> kristian1 try wesnoth not as good but kinda fun or just wine aoe
[20:06] <LionKing> do you speak turkish :)
[20:06] <hmw> The factoid instructs me to click on "File", but my mixer doesn't even have a menu! See the factoid:...
[20:06] <hmw> !sound
[20:06] <ZykoticK9> in the terminal use "dpkg -I --force-architecture <filename>.deb" should work
[20:07] <ZykoticK9> iowershtfj, did you see that last message, forgot to address it to you...  you'll also have to be in the directory with the deb for that to work.
[20:08] <MaximUvarov> server irc.videolan.org
[20:08] <iowershtfj> thanks it worked
[20:08] <iowershtfj> thanks ZykoticK9
[20:09] <redhawk> anyone know a cinepaint alternative

[20:09] <kristian1> DIFH-iceroot : do you by any chance now if aoe2 will run smooth with wine?
[20:10] <kristian1> ray_ray : will check it out. :-) tried aoe2 with wine, run smooth?
[20:10] <hmw> My sound just stopped working (8.10 installed a week ago). I read the link from the !sound factoid, but I don't want to setup sound, nor would I like to reboot. How could I restart the sound drivers?
[20:10] <allsystemsarego> Any suggestions for a good PPT-to-HTML conversion software in Linux? I tried ppthtml and found it only converts text but no images. OpenOffice Presentation makes a big jpeg file out of the entire slide, and that's not what I need. Any ideas?
[20:10] <DIFH-iceroot> kristian1: look at the wine-homepage, there is a list of a lot of working problems

[20:11] <Droopsta915> how can I add myself to the vboxusers groups?

[20:13] <ActionParsnip> n8tuserf: make sure you have write access as whatever user you are running your command as

[20:15] <myron> Is anybody familiar with Pam?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> annoia: you could force install it, i'd check they are backward compatible
[20:15] <ubuntu__> how do i remove gnome?
[20:15] <n8tuserf> ActionParsnip -> its root
[20:15] <annoia> ActionParsnip - They probably are, it's ubuntu build versions that differ...
[20:15] <n2diy>  I just gave a friend a HD with Hardy installed on it, and he is going to drop into is Win box, what is involved with having the system recgonize the new drive, and give him dual boot capability

[20:15] <yoyit2> can ubuntu use lightscribe?? PLEASE HELP!!
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> annoia: if you are compiling 32bit stuffs i'd set up a chroot situation so you can flip between the 2 archs
[20:16] <dr3w> hey guys what is the correct systax to update build-essential
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe
[20:16] <annoia> ActionParsnip - I'd prefer to just install 32bit mplayer in it's own directory. It's all I need, and fairly clean.

[20:16] <SB6789> hi all.  i have managed to get my webcam to work on laptop using the command: sudo gstreamer-properties and it switches on and i can see etc.However, when i try to use it with Skype or other applications, it says that there is no webcam detected.  any assistance please?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> annoia: you could download the 32bit debs for mplayer and install but yuo will have to satisfy deps manually
[20:17] <Rioting_Pacifist> how can i get pm-suspend to call the correct options or just *** call the hibernate-ram scirpt that WORKS!
[20:17] <annoia> ActionParsnip - Wouldn't they complain about it being the wrong arch?
[20:17] <n2diy>  I just gave a friend a HD with Hardy installed on it, and he is going to drop into is Win box, what is involved with having the system recgonize the new drive, and give him dual boot capability?

[20:18] <ActionParsnip> annoia: yes butyou can force it to install, you will also need to sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[20:18] <filipe_xD> neried, how are you in MIT?

[20:19] <Akuma> hello, I managed to connect to the openvpn I have access to, but I cannot navigate the net. Does anyone know how I could solve this problem?
[20:19] <n2diy> Rioting_Pacifist, so the new disk has to be installed as primary master, right?
[20:19] <NativeAngels> can anyone tell me how to make  local binddns server public
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> annoia: its gonna be messy for a bit getting the deps sorted
[20:20] <Akuma> btw, I want to use my boxe's internet connection and not the VPN's
[20:20] <Akuma> to surf the net
[20:20] <NotADJ> Heh, I can't join. That would make +20
[20:20] <Akuma> I just need to access the vpn to access the network that is behind it
[20:20] <annoia> ActionParsnip - Yes, I really don't want to mix 64bit and 32bit packages...
[20:20] <Rioting_Pacifist> n2diy: the actual disk order shouldnt matter aslong as its given 1st boot priority in bios
[20:20] <SineDeviance> the partitioner comes up in ubiquity but the window just stays white, it never shows my drives
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Akuma: set your default gateway as your router and it should use that for www
[20:21] <homy> Help!!! per-recipient rules for php signing email in evolution - like in enigmail thunderbird!#
[20:21] <homy> How?
[20:21] <annoia> ActionParsnip - It would be nice, though, if the packages in the repository fit together - then I wouldn't have this problem. Wouldn't I still have the dependency problem in a chroot environment? Or could I make a clean 32bit env. there?
[20:21] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: ok i did the install, but now how do you run the program?
[20:21] <Akuma> ActionParsnip: where could I find information on how to acheive that?
[20:21] <n2diy> Rioting_Pacifist, Bios only lets you select HD, CDROM, etc..., the boot order is determined by where the drive is connected to the IDE bus, so it must be as the primary master, IICR?
[20:22] <Rioting_Pacifist> if your bios wont let you switch then that is correct, but that may cause problems with windows
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> annoia: they do, just for the installed arch, you are forcing some package installs so deps arent met well
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: what program did you install?
[20:24] <n8tuserf> annoia -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot  am trying this out too now
[20:24] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: the lightscrbe deb file
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: thats all i know, read the guide
[20:24] <bruenig> bavardage: hm
[20:25] <n8tuserf> whose got debootstrap installed? is it in your /usr/lib/debootstrap  or in /usr/share/debootstrap  ?

[20:26] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i'm relatively familiar with irda-utils (unfortunately), and it deals strictly with the irda protocol, not generic infrared
[20:26] <octet> hi
[20:27] <pbeanbag> what is the command to unload a module? im having a brain fart
[20:27] <Sepero> pbeanbag: rmmod
[20:28] <pbeanbag> Sepero: thats it thanks
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> LjL: you may need to pickup a usb remote thats nice with linux and configure keys using xev
[20:28] <tonyyarusso> pbeanbag: modprobe -r
[20:28] <adi1> hi all
[20:28] <tonyyarusso> I guess either of those will work.
[20:28] <Sepero> hi
[20:29] <adi1> I have a crash on totem on every video format i try to upload on totem
[20:29] <Sepero> Sounds like a problem
[20:29] <adi1> im on interpid with last gnome version and totem
[20:29] <adi1> it also hapens on vlc
[20:29] <Sepero> tonyyarusso: You handle it
[20:30] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i have another usb tv card, it's just this one remote is, uh, nicer
[20:30] <ray_ray> ok i have a network manager problem. This problem is currently that nm refuses to work at home but works fine at university? I'm running with Intel Corporation PRO/100 VE Network Connection (rev 02) anyone have an idea?
[20:30] <adi1> i cant see any video format when in all ok with audio format
[20:30] <tonyyarusso> adi1: like a program closes type crash, or it just won't play?
[20:30] <adi1> what can I do?
[20:30] <adi1> thanks
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> LjL: looks like the remote you have sucks for linux
[20:30] <LjL> ActionParsnip: also, it gets on my nerves that it it *somehow* recognized. if it didn't recognize it at all, and google confirmed it's not supported, then ok
[20:30] <adi1> it crash and it closes itself
[20:30] <natschil> hi, does anyone know how I can mount a virtualbox harddrive? I have an instance of ubuntu running on virtualbox with a sample server on it, which has some files I would like to get (I am looking for a way that doesn't require me to actually run the image)
[20:31] <adi1> very fast just after i upload the viddeo
[20:31] <adi1> it happens in vlc too so i think is some decoder issue
[20:31] <ZykoticK9> natschil, non-trivial, you can use some tool out there to convert the image to a raw format, which can then be mounted, but your probably better off just starting the image...
[20:31] <Sepero> ray_ray: Is this on a laptop you take back and forth from uni?
[20:31] <dennda> What do I need to tell VLC player so that it opens the fullscreen movie playback on a specific monitor?
[20:32] <ray_ray> yeah
[20:32] <qpdb> hello, i have got a problem while mounting via sshfs, my mount options are 'uid=1000,gid=33,umask=0644,allow_other' (ids according to designated ids on target-system) .. creating something ends up with group=1000.. it seems 'gid=33' to be unconsidered. what's wrong with it?
[20:32] <ray_ray> i find network manager better to use at uni
[20:32] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i was even thinking - since the remote sensor uses a 3.5 plug as connection - i could try sticking it into the soundcard's line-in... and decode the waveforms somehow =) i'm just afraid to fry the transistor.
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> LjL: thatd be sweeeeet
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> LjL: not the frying bit
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> ljl: back up the transistor first LOL
[20:33] <adi1> I have installed all gstreamer good bad and ugly decoders
[20:33] <adi1> like i normally do after a fresh install
[20:33] <Sepero> ray_ray: What is the problem(s) you experience at home? And does this problem also happen with other pc's at home?
[20:33] <adi1> but in interpid wont work
[20:33] <LjL> ActionParsnip: lirc actually supports connecting stuff to the soundcard, although it's usually somewhat more involved circuits than just a bare light transistor
[20:33] <Akuma> ActionParsnip: I added my router as default gateway, however when I go on pages or ping the net it's slow
[20:33] <Akuma> is this normal?
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Akuma: you may find its using the vpn
[20:34] <ray_ray> it does not connect to the lan it picks up that i've plugged it in but cannot establish a connection
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> Akuma: you may need to specify some routes
[20:35] <Sepero> ray_ray: Is your pc dual boot?
[20:35] <ubuntu__> can i just install kde or do i have to install kubuntu-desktop?
[20:35] <ray_ray> yeah
[20:35] <ray_ray> ?
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> Akuma: like anything destined for the vpn, use the vpn device, anything else use the local web
[20:35] <adi1> is anyone familiar with codecs problems and totem
[20:35] <ubuntu__> adi1: what problem?
[20:35] <ray_ray> windows and ubuntu
[20:35] <Sepero> ray_ray: So you boot into MS at home, and into Linux at uni, yes?
[20:35] <sebastienyoga> !fr | sebastienyoga
[20:35] <ray_ray> nope usually just linux
[20:36] <Akuma> ActionParsnip: I see
[20:36] <ray_ray> windowz if i REEAALY need to only
[20:36] <Akuma> so basically play around with the route command
[20:36] <adi1> ok I have an instant crash of totem and vlc on uploading any video file format on interpid
[20:36] <Sepero> ray_ray: But MS connect to the internet just fine from home, yes?
[20:36] <ray_ray> yeah that works fine
[20:36] <EagleScreen> :D
[20:36] <ray_ray> just network manager that doesn't want to work right now
[20:37] <LjL> ActionParsnip: uhm... it actually produces sound when connected to line-in (but not to mic-in, and line-in is far too faint)
[20:37] <adi1> what I can do?
[20:37] <ray_ray> lan works at uni just not at home if i use network manager
[20:37] <Sepero> ray_ray: Have went into the network manager settings to see if there is any difference from your MS settings?
[20:37] <arcsky> i cant stream .mp3 over samba with audacious player. does anyone got an idea why?

[20:38] <Sepero> ray_ray: welc
[20:38] <adi1> I disabled all plugins on totem but no succses
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> LjL: you could use the input maybe
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> LjL: its gonna be crazy
[20:38] <adi1> I still have the same problem
[20:38] <hmw> I seem to have a selective problem with Skype; I can call my other PC and the Test Service work fine, too. But when I call a certain friend, he can hear me for about 2 seconds, until my sound completly dies system wide. Ideas?
[20:38] <adi1> since two days
[20:39] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i do suspect it would need an amplifier to be of any use. the current actually produced by a bare light transistor is tiny
[20:39] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i can only hear a sound if i keep the remote practically stuck onto the sensor

[20:41] <TruthTaco> whats the best way for me to install XFCE so i can try it, right now im using gnome, and i dont want to replace gnome just yet
[20:41] <Sepero> hmw: Sound Devices -> Auto Adjust Mixer Levels
[20:41] <DIFH-iceroot> TruthTaco: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[20:41] <hmw> Kottizen: Oh. That might be a good idea. I'll give it a try. My sound is strange with Skype anyways (problems playing sounds in the backround, while VoIPing)
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> !resize
[20:41] <c0p3rn1c> hmw: skype is not the cheapest VOIP provider out there btw
[20:41] <DIFH-iceroot> TruthTaco: at the login-screen you can choose gnome oder xfce4
[20:41] <nickrud_> TruthTaco, install xubuntu-desktop, and choose it under options->sessions on the login screen
[20:41] <TruthTaco> thanks
[20:41] <TruthTaco> what version will that get?
[20:42] <DIFH-iceroot> TruthTaco: xfce4
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> Jowwww: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[20:42] <hmw> Sepero: I always turn the automatic adjustment OFF. It was turned ON today for an unknown reason.
[20:42] <nickrud_> !find xfce-desktop
[20:42] <nickrud_> !info xfce-desktop
[20:42] <Sepero> hmw: ok
[20:42] <hmw> c0p3rn1c: thx. I need Skype anyways :(
[20:42] <ZykoticK9> TruthTaco, you can just install XFCE then from GDM change your session, you can have multiple Windows Managers/Environments on one system...
[20:42] <nickrud_> !info xfce4-desktop
[20:42] <nickrud_> gack
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> Jowwww: that guide tells you how to resize, make sure you backup your important data as ubuntu comes with zero warranty

[20:43] <TruthTaco> ok, i noticed they just released 4.6, how do i know if thats the version im installing?
[20:43] <DIFH-iceroot> TruthTaco: will give you the paket-version
[20:43] <nickrud_> TruthTaco, 4.4.2
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> !info xfce4
[20:43] <Sepero> TruthTaco: apt-cache show package
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> nickrud see above
[20:43] <TruthTaco> ah thanks
[20:43] <krabador> hi people, i recovered a reiserfs root from bad sector, i run reiserfsck /dev/sda1 --fix fixable and, after an error, with --rebuild-tree. This last was good {grub start, and not before} but i've many error of files missing. can i reinstall with synaptic/livecd some fondamental package to run my old installation, only for easy backup?
[20:43] <_LionKing_> Greetings Do you entertain friends?
[20:43] <_LionKing_> :)
[20:44] <nickrud_> ActionParsnip, yeah, couldn't remember an exact package name for the life of me
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> _LionKing_: its a purely support channel
[20:44] <Jahooty> are there .deb packages for open office 3?
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> nickrud_: apt-cache search xfce | less
[20:44] <Sepero> Jahooty: getdeb.net
[20:44] <_LionKing_> I dont now
[20:44] <DIFH-iceroot> Jahooty: yes but not in the official repos
[20:44] <Sepero> Jahooty: They might have it
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Jahooty: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[20:44] <hmw> Kottizen, Sepero: I did not yet reboot the machine, I suspect the problem to go away by rebooting, but that wouldn't be a real solution. Skype does strange things often here. I hope, I will find the true source of the error. Thanks for your attention!
[20:44] <nickrud_> ActionParsnip, did that, where'd you think I got 4.4.2 ;)
[20:44] <Jahooty> thanks
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> nickrud_: i assume nothing :)
[20:45] <Sepero> hmw: Reboot why?
[20:45] <Sepero> hmw: I thought your sound was fixed when you shut down skype?
[20:45] <sexcopter> hi, i have a drive (on another pc on lan) mounted with sshfs, but it says 0 bytes free (and it's not actually full), so i can move anything to it. it seems to be mounted rw according to mtab. any ideas?
[20:45] <sexcopter> s/can/can't
[20:45] <hmw> Sepero: My Ubuntus (got 4) often stop doing misc. errors after a reboot. I know, rebooting Linux would usually not help, but my expirience tells another story.
[20:46] <jimmygoon> So I'm getting slicehost, should I go with hardy or intrepid for my server?
[20:46] <Sepero> hmw: ok
[20:46] <nickrud_> jimmygoon, if it's going to be a long term stable server, I'd recommend hardy. Unless you need functionality it doesn't have
[20:46] <hmw> Sepero: Skype wont let me call this one friend. I can call my other PC and the test service, though. So I suspect there is confusion somwhere in RAM.
[20:47] <nickrud_> jimmygoon, but #ubuntu-server can help you refine your requirements, probably
[20:47] <BuilderBob> Hi! Im debugging a friends computer (Ubuntu 8.10) and all the window frames for resizing, moving wondows and so forth are gone... dont know how or why this happened, but can it be fixed?
[20:47] <Sepero> hmw: Try calling me- sepero111
[20:47] <FroMaster> I've got a lot of experience with Gentoo Linux and like the idea of never having to "upgrade" my OS as I just need to keep up to date with the latest builds. With Ubuntu is the upgrade process from one release to another just as easy? (or easier because everything doesn't need to compile)
[20:47] <jimmygoon> nickrud_, its mostly just personal tinkering but I'll ask around in there. Thanks!
[20:47] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, try alt-f2   gtk-window-decorator --replace (if you're using compiz)  metacity --replace otherwise
[20:47] <c0p3rn1c> BuilderBob: it's your window manager
[20:47] <sebsebseb>
[20:47] <vega> i just did a daily update on intrepid, these were update: libcurl3 libcurl3-gnutls libnm-glib0 libnm-util0 network-manager network-manager-gnome, after this i'm being told to reboot, why??
[20:48] <c0p3rn1c> BuilderBob: are you using compiz-fusion?
[20:48] <sebsebseb> vega: only more important stuff needs an update  normalley, but I guess network manger is pretty important really
[20:48] <SineDeviance> vega: you're being told to reboot because those packages are used by gnome desktop environment all the time
[20:48] <nickrud_> vega, probably for the network manager
[20:48] <blue-frog> vega: because of network-manager. you can still work on your computer. ther's no rush to rebooot
[20:48] <_LionKing_> FloodBot3
[20:48] <SineDeviance> to use the new packages you have to reboot
[20:48] <c0p3rn1c> window decoration righ*
[20:48] <c0p3rn1c> t
[20:48] <dotblank> vega: network manager probably asks for the sessions to restart
[20:49] <krabador> hi people, i recovered a reiserfs root from bad sector, i run reiserfsck /dev/sda1 --fix fixable and, after an error, with --rebuild-tree. This last was good {grub start, and not before} but i've many error of files missing. can i reinstall with synaptic/livecd some fondamental package to run my old installation, only for easy backup?
[20:49] <_LionKing_> speak one's friends one by one I do not understand anything, please talk
[20:49] <_LionKing_> :)
[20:49] <ZykoticK9> FroMaster, keeping Ubuntu updated is SO much easier and smoother then Gentoo (I was a Gentoo fan for many years but got tired of updates braking my system), however updating from version to version it's still recommended that you fresh install (for the most part anyways)
[20:49] <vega> so why not do a network-manager restart or something like this? sounds kinda windowsish to me..
[20:49] <sebsebseb> krabador: oh murderfs
[20:49] <nickrud_> SineDeviance, not always, in fact not often.
[20:50] <vega> SineDeviance: why not then just logout and login?
[20:50] <krabador> sebsebseb: :)
[20:50] <dotblank> vega: try restarting the session. and maybe "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[20:50] <nickrud_> vega, it's not a service. you could do as vega just said to get the latest network manager
[20:50] <BuilderBob> c0p3rn1c: yeah! disablong compiz makes the frames come back... can that be fixed?
[20:50] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, when you re enable compiz, do they still stay off?
[20:51] <c0p3rn1c> BuilderBob: if you're using compiz-fusion you could also install compiz-icon(compiz-icon)
[20:51] <BuilderBob> nickrud_: yep
[20:51] <FroMaster> ZykoticK9: (I'm working with VMware Virtual Machines) Do you mean fresh install as in boot from an ISO image and do an upgrade *OR* create a new Virtual Machine, install the new OS version and migrate over all my applications and data?
[20:51] <vega> well my ip is static, so i guess it doesn't really matter
[20:51] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, at that point, try alt-f2  gtk-window-manger --replace
[20:51] <BuilderBob> c0p3rn1c: its the "native" compiz that came with the installation
[20:51] <c0p3rn1c> BuilderBob: sorry thats sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
[20:51] <sebsebseb> FroMaster: which VMware product?
[20:51] <^Uccio^> ciao a tutti
[20:51] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, gtk-window-manager , don't misspell it ;)
[20:52] <BuilderBob> nickrud_ and c0p3rn1c whos advice to follow? :)
[20:52] <ZykoticK9> FroMaster, I was speaking "Generally", you can certainly update your VM instead of doing a fresh install (I was just suggesting that fresh installs tend to have fewer problems)
[20:52] <c0p3rn1c> BuilderBob: nickrud
[20:52] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, fusion-icon simply enables/disables compiz
[20:52] <FroMaster> sebastien: ESX
[20:52] <sebsebseb> FroMaster: VMware server?
[20:53] <monostone> is it possible to run an dist-upgrade to a chroot environment? how are linux-headers handled, if the chroot filesystem doesn't have any kernel images in /boot
[20:53] <c0p3rn1c> BuilderBob: I only know fusion-icon works if you installed compiz-fusion
[20:53] <FroMaster> sebsebseb: I'm talking about using Ubuntu as a Guest OS on ESX server
[20:53] <Jahooty> does anyone know why open office will slice of the top of a line when viewing a .doc file?
[20:53] <sebsebseb> FroMaster: Virtualbox can use  VMDK files,  then you don't need to bugger around with some stupid VMware VMX file.  which might be useful information for something.
[20:53] <sebsebseb> Jahooty: well maybe
[20:54] <c0p3rn1c> BuilderBob: compiz-fusion never hurts though, it's pretty cool
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> !vmware
[20:54] <ZykoticK9> sebsebseb, FroMaster mentioned he was using ESX so suggesting Virtualbox is probably not an option
[20:54] <sebsebseb> Jahooty: I guess it depends for a start what is in the document
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> c0p3rn1c: try just pretty, not cool
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> c0p3rn1c: ;)
[20:54] <c0p3rn1c> haha
[20:54] <sebsebseb> ZykoticK9: yeah I was thinking that to, it dosan't realy do servers?  ,but they got another product for that I guess
[20:54] <Jahooty> what do you mean?
[20:54] <FroMaster> sebsebseb: I'm familiar with virtualbox...
[20:54] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, any luck with the --replace ?
[20:55] <c0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip: ok what do you got on your pimped-out ubuntu linux ? :D
[20:55] <sebsebseb> Jahooty: well  .doc is a closed format, only Microsoft  know how to make a program that suppourts it 100% properly
[20:55] <BuilderBob> nickrud_: got an error message... checked somethin and trying again...
[20:55] <c0p3rn1c> anything cool lol ?
[20:55] <sebsebseb> Jahooty: every other program  that suppourts it has to reverse enginner suppourt,  which is a very clever programming technique
[20:55] <saptap> heyyy anyone
[20:55] <saptap> i eed some help
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> c0p3rn1c: fluxbox + bora_blue theme
[20:55] <saptap> need
[20:56] <Jahooty> do you don't know why?
[20:56] <sebsebseb> Jahooty: as a result,  Open Office won't be able to open every .doc  the  same as Word
[20:56] <FroMaster> ZykoticK9: If I wanted to setup a Ubuntu Server VM with an older version and then upgrade to the latest to test the process would I go from 8.04 to 8.10 or would i get something older like a 7.x release then go to 8.10?
[20:56] <sebsebseb> Jahooty: try Abiword with your document, you may find it opens better there, also you can try KOffice
[20:56] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: 'suppourt'? is that UK English?
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> c0p3rn1c: http://tenr.de/styles/preview/bora_blue.png
[20:56] <sebsebseb> I am from UK :)
[20:56] <_VIM_> ah :)
[20:56] <sebsebseb> screw USA English
[20:56] <_VIM_> hey now!
[20:56] <_VIM_> ;P
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> _VIM_: uk english is the original
[20:56]  * nickrud_ kicks sebsebseb, harshly
[20:56] <sebsebseb> since they don't have there  own real language,  they  take UK English and do some changes to it
[20:56] <c0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip: nice :)
[20:57] <saptap> hey guys im having problems with my wired internet connection
[20:57] <jeffjeffdejeff> anyone able to test my remote desktop please?
[20:57]  * _VIM_ hides (think i started a war)
[20:57] <BuilderBob> nickrud_:  got 'Couldnt open location/place "file:///home/mamma/gtk-window-manager%20--replace"    (translated from swedish)
[20:57] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: indeed :) and so UK  English is the more correct
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> c0p3rn1c: i dont care for gloss, gets in the way of what i'm actually doing
[20:57] <hmw> Sepero: Does this tell you anything: http://pastebin.com/m386d7b3e
[20:57] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: lol not quite plus this is off topic hum
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: its just different, as long as the language is understood correctly it has server its purpose
[20:57] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, sorry, I went by memory:   gtk-window-decorator
[20:58] <hmw> ping
[20:58] <krabador> hi people, i recovered a reiserfs root from bad sector, i run reiserfsck /dev/sda1 --fix fixable and, after an error, with --rebuild-tree. This last was good {grub start, and not before} but i've many error of files missing. can i reinstall with synaptic/livecd some fondamental package to run my old installation, only for easy backup?
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: i'm from uk too
[20:58] <BuilderBob> by the way... when the autofill starts filling in the dialg from "alt-f2" does it autofill like the tab or only autofill commands entered previously?
[20:58] <yoyit2> how do i install a .rpm file?
[20:58] <HARDhouse> brasirc.org
[20:58] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: where abouts?
[20:58] <_VIM_> yoyit2: .RPM's are not for Ubuntu
[20:58] <ZykoticK9> FroMaster, that's really up to you???  I take it this is for testing purposes?
[20:58] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: ok  this is a Debian based distro
[20:58] <nickrud_> yoyit2, it you not
[20:58] <hmw> Sepero: does this tell you anything: http://pastebin.com/m386d7b3e ?
[20:58] <sebsebseb> yoyit2:  so you can't just install .rpm ,but you can convert them to deb using Alien
[20:58] <nickrud_> *don't. yoyit2 what is it you want to install?
[20:58] <nickrud_> !alien | sebsebseb
[20:58] <BuilderBob> nickrud_:  hmm.... didnt seem to do anything...
[20:59] <FroMaster> ZykoticK9: Yeah, to get a feel of what it would be like to migrate all my VMs from Gentoo to Ubuntu
[20:59] <sebsebseb> nickrud: yes I just told him
[20:59] <Sepero> hmw: I'm looking at it
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: leeds, west yorks, you?
[20:59] <yoyit2> nickrud: its a program for lightscribe
[20:59] <nickrud_> BuilderBob, not sure what it is then. I'd suggest asking in #compiz if someone is available
[20:59] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: I wouldn't recommend Alien, it's not supported as nickrud_pointed out
[20:59] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: South West
[20:59] <nickrud_> yoyit2, you sure it's not in the repos?
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: like cornwall?
[20:59] <sebsebseb> nah
[20:59] <yoyit2> nickrud: the what?? im new to linux
[20:59] <ZykoticK9> FroMaster, as far as updating between Ubuntu versions someone else here is a better person to ask, I've always done clean reinstalls???
[21:00] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: let's go PM I guess if you want, since we are off topic
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> FroMaster, you must also want to look into Ubuntu JEOS if your running them in virtual machines
[21:00] <nickrud_> yoyit2, system->admin->synaptic package manager. As a general rule, you get stuff there rather than downloading and installing like windows
[21:01] <nickrud_> yoyit2, 95% of what you want can be found there
[21:01] <Sepero> hmw: The only thing I can recommend is trying different settings for SoundIn & SoundOut under Options -> Sound Devices
[21:02] <hmw> Sepero: I already tried to switch over to ALSA. Skype wont work with anything except some certain out of 6 options. I will continue googleing. Thanks!
[21:02] <UncleD-> I'm all updated to intrepid ibex 8.10 - should i do anything else?
[21:02] <nickrud_> yoyit2, apparently it's not in .... oh, he left
[21:02] <Sepero> hmw: You might want to try searching google for the error output you have. Like "skype ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed"
[21:02] <sebsebseb> UncleD-: well  loads of good programs to install, if you haven't already
[21:02] <nickrud_> yoyit2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> UncleD-, <joking> bring peace to the world
[21:03] <seeurchinz> hi
[21:03] <sebsebseb> hi
[21:03] <Sepero> hmw: It looks like it might be a limitation on your hardware.
[21:03] <yoyit2> nickrud: yea i did all that but it gives you a REALLY basic labeler. only basic text. but theres another one that i tried to get (suggested on the wevsitd) but its an rpm file
[21:03] <unko> i need some help here... i just download a screenlet called fusion switch it disables gnome effects when i click the off button and back on when i turn it on... so i turned it off to play a game (to get better performance) but than when i tried to switch it back on nothing happend.. i tryed to go to apperance and switch them on that way but now it's saying cannot enable desktop effects....
[21:03] <notmeeee> i booted from a livecd. is kubuntu included as a session option?
[21:03] <unko> ^^^^^^^^^^help
[21:03] <sebsebseb> seeurchinz: you want help with something?
[21:03] <sebsebseb> !ask
[21:03] <hmw> Sepero: It just started today, in the middle of a longer conversation. Fedora does not have this problem.
[21:04] <Scunizi> notmeeee: only if it was the kubuntu live cd
[21:04] <notmeeee> so would i have to install kde from scratch?
[21:04] <sebsebseb> notmeeee: you can put on Ubuntu and then put on Kubuntu as well
[21:04] <sebsebseb> notmeeee: and Xubuntu and  so on
[21:04] <Sepero> hmw: Ah, in that case, I would delete my skype settings folder under /home and put the settings back in.
[21:04] <notmeeee> sebsebseb: sorry you lost me
[21:04] <seeurchinz> if i want about 10 to 15 computers to connect to a single server computer to do something like a remote desktop, how might i go about that?
[21:05] <notmeeee> can i add kubuntu to my current  setup?
[21:05] <sebsebseb> notmeeee: you  can  have Ubuntu and Kubuntu and Xubuntu in the same  install
[21:05] <sebsebseb> notmeeee: yes you can add it
[21:05] <notmeeee> sebsebseb:  there is no install yet
[21:05] <seeurchinz> i want that remote desktop session to be a replacement for an os on those connecting computers if that makes sense
[21:05] <Scunizi> notmeeee: if you're running from the live cd and you would like to look at kubuntu you would have to download the live cd for kubuntu and boot from that.. if you have Ubuntu installed and want to try kubuntu then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and then change sessions on boot
[21:05] <notmeeee> oh
[21:05] <sebsebseb> notmeeee: ok so your like brand new to Ubuntu?
[21:05] <Sepero> hmw: I mean, manually put the settings back in.
[21:05] <notmeeee> no. not really
[21:06] <nOStahl> heyey all why is wpa not an option for wifi connecting?
[21:06] <Sepero> hmw: ok, i must go. good luck
[21:06] <glitsj16> unko: did compiz work before using this fusion switch ? not familiar with it, but fusion-icon has similar features, is in the regular repo's and works fine here ...
[21:07] <hmw> Sepero: thx
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> seeurchinz, if you're remoting linux you might want to look into XDMCP???
[21:07] <npshmear> Hey, I am new to ubuntu, and I would like to know 2 things, the first is how to set up 5.1 sound, or at least access the sound settings, and the second is why wont EVE-ONLINE run on my linux partition, it keeps flashing in and out and then crashing.
[21:07] <Stephen|Edibles> Hi there. I'm trying to build pidgin 2.5.4 from source since it appears ubuntu doesnt have it yet in the repositry. I can get the source dled and unpacked okay, but when following the faq on the pidgin site it says to run "sudo apt-get build-dep gaim", but I get an unable to find source package error. Anyone like to help?
[21:07] <nOStahl> anyone know why wpa is not a connection option in network manager??
[21:07] <unko> glitsj16, yes it worked fine until i hit the switch off button now i can't re enable compiz/ gnaome effects
[21:07] <unko> gnaome*
[21:07] <unko> gnome**
[21:08] <Stephen|Edibles> npshmear, : Assumedly you're running this under wine?
[21:09] <glitsj16> unko: hard to tell what's going i guess, not a clue where to start debugging that sorry .. perhaps #compiz-fusion has more input on your trouble
[21:09] <unko> glitsj16,  ok
[21:10] <npshmear> stephen: i have no idea..
[21:10] <npshmear> stephen: I've just been trying out linux on a 10gb partition
[21:11] <Caesi> hi all, anyone have any idea why scrolling down in Firefox is lagging? thanks
[21:11] <glitsj16> npshmear: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4451132 is for hardy, but the setup for 5.1 sound is the same in intrepid (using pulseaudio on that forum page)
[21:11] <yoyit2> nickrud: you said somthing about using the rpm with synaptic.. what do i do??
[21:11] <thiebaude> Caesi: firefox does that alot
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Caesi: no, but  Firefox can go wrong on Ubuntu
[21:11] <npshmear> Thank you glit
[21:11] <Caesi> sebsebseb & thiebaude: it didn't use to do it
[21:11] <thiebaude> oh, ok
[21:12] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: no  Synaptic is a Graphical User Interface  for apt-get or aptitude   which  installs  Deb's
[21:12] <Stephen|Edibles> npshmear, : well, how did you install EVE on your ubuntu partition?
[21:12] <thiebaude> Caesi: did you install any new plugins for it?
[21:12] <sebsebseb> Caesi: quite a few other good browsers for Linux :)
[21:12] <hmw> Casei: FF isnt't the fastest in scrolling. Gnome is quite slow on most machines, where I saw it, especially, if complex things have to be scrolled (Like Compitz Configuration).
[21:12] <thiebaude> Caesi: i use opera
[21:12] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: so how do i install this rpm??????????
[21:12] <sebsebseb> hmw: you do reolize that  Firefox is not part of  real Gnome?
[21:12] <glitsj16> Caesi: could have several causes, a lot of webpages define background-attachments as fixed, if you have stylish for example, addind a oneliner to change those into scroll might be worthwhile
[21:12] <npshmear> stephen: downloaded the .deb file from the eve site, then ran it, it downloaded and unpackaged...  I didn't konw of any other way =p
[21:13] <_LionKing_> Is that someone can answer me
[21:13] <sebsebseb> npshmear: by default terminal is in home and so if your Deb is:   sudo dpkg -i  namegoeshere.deb
[21:13] <sebsebseb> and it installs
[21:13] <Stephen|Edibles> npshmear, : Ah, in that case eve has obviously released a linux version (I dont play the game myself.)
[21:14] <hmw> sebsebseb: It looks like FF would be using some "smooth scrolling" feature, because on my Fedora, FF is MUCH faster in scrolling. I didn't know, you mean, FF does it's scrolling without the system? Anyhow, even the system monitor's process list is SLOW.
[21:14] <wandering1> what is the best browser that will allow a Ubuntu user to view Flash content?  I'm having issues with FF.
[21:14] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: ok what program do you want to run?  what is the RPM for
[21:14] <npshmear> stephen: yes it's on the downloads page, i wanted to check it out, see how it ran, in the case that i permanently switch to linux from windows.
[21:14] <sebsebseb> hmw: Ubuntu has a Ubuntu version of FIrefox,  which coes not always work that well
[21:14] <Caesi> thiebaude: not explicitely :) I used Opera too, but I think it doesn't show the fonts well enough; sebsebseb: true :) but Firefox is okay - apart from this (!) glitsj16 hmm Stylish?
[21:14] <thiebaude> Caesi: the fonts in opera can be changed
[21:15] <Caesi> thiebaude: I know I've done that.. but the menu fonts and all.. I find them too blurry etc.
[21:15] <wandering1> what is the best browser that will allow a Ubuntu user to view Flash content?  I'm having issues with FF.
[21:15] <Stephen|Edibles> npshmear, : I'm not entirely sure what could be the problem then - assuming it only happens with eve and you've checked that your graphics card is okay with eve and up to date on drivers..
[21:15] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: its for a lightscirbe program (DONT refer me back to the install guid, everyone else has)
[21:15] <hmw> sebsebseb: After many resetups, also with different hardware combinations, I have an Ubuntu, that is at least *useable*, but I'd still wish for all those slowly scrolling lists (Processes, ccsm) to be 4 times faster.
[21:15] <thiebaude> Caesi: what i do is change the system font in Appereance Menu
[21:15] <sebsebseb> Caesi: other browsers for you to try:  Konqueror,  Galeon,  Epiphany (when installing sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser or you will end up with a game.  It  also might not add itself to menu so in terminal to open just do: epiphany-browser),  Seamonkey
[21:16] <seeurchinz> what i'm looking for is a thin client system, i think. a way to allow multiple computers to access the same, castrated graphical interface, sort of like your local library might have
[21:16] <npshmear> stephen: i think it may be linked to the sound.. my front right speaker is still making some crackly/static noise...
[21:16] <glitsj16> Caesi: stylish is an add-on to let you define your own layout on pages, if you nknow CSS you can overrule any element on the page you like, and there's a few scroll related add-ons as well, like smooth-scrolling at the addons.mozilla.org website
[21:16] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: remind me what lightscribe is
[21:16] <thiebaude> Caesi: i use comic sans as my fonts
[21:16] <gerson> Olá a todos!

[21:17] <profanephobia> I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop running ubuntu 8.10 and i cannot resume from suspend, it just sets at a black screen
[21:17] <DeadWalking> Hi, I'm on the Live CD and tried to install it on a USB but it just crashes every time.
[21:17] <hmw> sebsebseb: I noticed, that Fedora is much better in scrolling, it seems to be Gnome using some "smooth scrolling" for all list objects; I found out about that, because I could turn it off in Fedora, and all the sudden, all lists were much better in scrolling. Is there a similar option in Ubuntu?
[21:17] <sebsebseb> !install
[21:17] <Caesi> thiebaude: I've done so too, but they're still not as good as in FF, at least on mine(?); sebsebseb: ta, I might check them out now; glitsj16: ahh thanks, I'm not really familiar with CSS, but I might also try and get into that.. thanks all!
[21:17] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: its a lazer etching thing on your disc burner, to lable discs
[21:17] <sebsebseb> hmw: you mean   scrolling web pages?
[21:18] <npshmear> stephen: lawl fixed the sound =p
[21:18] <Stephen|Edibles> npshmear, : Well, I have no idea >_<. Sorry, and good luck!
[21:18] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: and  it only has  a RPM?????
[21:18] <npshmear> thanks
[21:18] <Stephen|Edibles> npshmear, : Oh, awesome. Does it fix the flickering? XD
[21:18] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: or .exe for Windows?
[21:18] <Caesi> thiebaude: ah, that might explain it :)
[21:18] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: yup
[21:18] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: only rpm
[21:18] <npshmear> Stephen, not sure about the flickering, give a sec
[21:18] <profanephobia> I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop running ubuntu 8.10 and i cannot resume from suspend, it just sets at a black screen
[21:18] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: no  tar.gz or something like that?
[21:18] <thiebaude> Caesi: changing your system font will change that in opera
[21:19] <Stephen|Edibles> I think the most interesting thing about my laptop and ubuntu is that when running banshee my next/last song keys (vostro lappie) work for approximately 15 minutes when banshee starts, then stop working XD.
[21:19] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: well  Alien, but whatever that guy was saying about it not being that good
[21:19] <hmw> sebsebseb: no. Seems to be Gnome's list objects, that are slow, due to a seemingly applied smooth scroll effect. I would like to turn off ANY animated: scrolls of lists/window content, all the bars in FF that try to animatedly display info bars and any blending effects. Would make my system much more usable.
[21:19] <Stephen|Edibles> Hi there. I'm trying to build pidgin 2.5.4 from source since it appears ubuntu doesnt have it yet in the repositry. I can get the source dled and unpacked okay, but when following the faq on the pidgin site it says to run "sudo apt-get build-dep gaim", but I get an unable to find source package error. Anyone like to help?
[21:19] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: you could  virtualmachine  Wndows  or a RPM  Linux distro, and use your program
[21:19] <Caesi> thiebaude: like I said, I've done that.. but they're still not as clear as in Mozilla
[21:19] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10094
[21:20] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: plain engrish??
[21:20] <hmw> sebsebseb: I read about a FF option to turn off smooth scrolling in about:config. Forgot where I read that :(
[21:20] <Caesi> thiebaude: and I have all this subpixel smoothing enabled and all
[21:20] <thiebaude> Caesi: if you try opera, smooth scrolling can be changed, in opera

[21:21] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: there are a few differnet package management systems  when it comes to LInux distros
[21:21] <glitsj16> Stephen|Edibles: not wanting to turn you away from building yourself, but on getdeb.net there's installable versions of pidgin 2.5.5 even
[21:21] <sebsebseb> acfrazier1: I can help with that
[21:21] <dr3w> how do you upadate g++ headers
[21:21] <thiebaude> Caesi: i just got rid of XP for good,lol
[21:21] <yoyit2> sebsebseb: can you give ma a walkthrough?
[21:21] <Caesi> thiebaude: jap, I have it activated.. you're right Opera is better, I also use it on Windows.. but I find the font really annoying somehow :)
[21:22] <Stephen|Edibles> default, glitsj16 : Yeah, a friend just pointed me to them. I will struggle on against this source for a bit, but I'll probably end up just grabbing the deb XD
[21:22] <acfrazier1> sebsebseb: Alright, that would be nice
[21:22] <thiebaude> Caesi: i agree
[21:22] <Caesi> thiebaude: I can't unfortunately :/

[21:26] <sebsebseb> yoyit2: private message
[21:26] <glitsj16> Stephen|Edibles: can't confirm, never built pidgin myself, but there's pidgin-dev you'll need, besides that i'd check the pidgin wiki for dependencies (or websearch)

Is there a way to fix this...or is there a console command to put the resolution how I want?
[21:45] <coreyman> Cool_Nick are you using xorg?
[21:46] <Cool_Nick> xorg?
[21:46] <Cool_Nick> just console

[21:46] <coreyman> I was going to tell you to go into xorg.conf
[21:47] <coreyman> happy_people it should be a startup option in grub
[21:47] <coreyman> Cool_Nick how do I install a tarball?
[21:47] <happy_people> coreyman, I dont have the grub menu displayed at startup
[21:47] <sebsebseb> !tar
[21:47] <dstar> is there a way to re-initialize the userlevel sound stuff? I keep losing my sound after a day or two. I don't find anything in the logs or in dmesg, so I doubt it's the kernel stuff; I'm assuming something in the userlevel sound stuff is getting confused somewhere....
[21:47] <Cool_Nick> Its my server, the only thing I use x11 for is vncserver (x11 doesn't load up at startup)
[21:47] <Cool_Nick> coreyman, you extract it

[22:02] <_VIM_> !gksudo | BlackDalek
[22:02] <llllll> anyone have any ideas
[22:03] <dstar> Does anyone else have a problem with sound going away after a day or two?
[22:03] <szelek> guntbert: I'll try over there. thanks
[22:03] <guntbert> szelek: good luck :)
[22:03] <_VIM_> dstar: yep, just today in fact
[22:03] <profanephobia> i have a launcher that needs to run an application in terminal with sudo, how can i make it automagically input the password for me?
[22:04] <dstar> _VIM_: Is there a way to fix it short of rebooting?
[22:04] <joaopinto> profanephobia, set it's command to gksudo command ?
[22:04] <SuperDefenderX> Does anyone here have an LCD with speakers built into it? I'm having an issue with flash in UBUNTU where flash audios play through the USB montior connection and not through my onboard soundcard
[22:04] <profanephobia> joaopinto, its running in terminal though, no GUI
[22:05] <_VIM_> dstar: you could try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart or stop or maybe sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[22:06] <BlackDalek> _VIM_, but... why do I have to run Googleearth as root to get it to work in the first place? It installs a menu item into the application menu - so logically I should be able to launch it from there too?
[22:06] <dstar> _VIM_: I know that _somethings_ still working, because I tried turning up the 'capture' devices under the theory that they were mislabeled and got hideous feedback....
[22:06] <joaopinto> profanephobia, use gksudo to launch a terminal executing the expected command...
[22:07] <guntbert> profanephobia: read man sudoers, there is the possibitlity to avoid needing a password, you can configure ti for just one app too
[22:07] <_VIM_> BlackDalek: could be a permissions issue
[22:07] <guntbert> *it
[22:07] <redzheb> anybody with help for skype. When I trying to call to somebody I receaved the messege problem with audio playback
[22:07] <joaopinto> profanephobia, example: gnome-terminal -x command
[22:07] <profanephobia> guntbert, thank you
[22:07] <sebsebseb> redzheb: ok   someone else had this issue
[22:07] <guntbert> profanephobia: the work will be yours :)
[22:07] <sebsebseb> redzheb: and someone helped us and we got his sound working
[22:07] <_VIM_> dstar: that's the only way i know without rebooting. Have you searched the forums? http://ubuntuforums.org
[22:08] <coreyman> So I went to Gnome Look, and downloaded spectrolet, drug it to the appearance window and i dont see it there.
[22:08] <coreyman> what did i do wrong
[22:08] <_VIM_> !sound | dstar (this might help)...
[22:08] <hmw> profanephobia: install pam_usb and use a usb thumbdrive as a key card. No more password typing!
[22:08] <redzheb> yes already we have sound
[22:08] <Blast> how do i set up a wireless Internet connection?
[22:08] <SuperDefenderX> redzheb: You might have to specify the audio device in the Skype options menu.
[22:08] <quibbler> _VIM_: dstar : try this  sudo killall pulseaudio; sleep 5; sudo alsa force-reload
[22:08] <sebsebseb> !wireless
[22:09] <glitsj16> SuperDefenderX: if you're using pulseaudio you could try to move the stream via the pavucontrol GUI (clicking the arrow next to the playing stream). It has a 'memory' feature, so if you are able to move it to your onboard sound card that should be used for that app each time
[22:09] <profanephobia> joaopinto, what im trying to do is make a launcher that runs "sudo hibernate" in a terminal but i need to to run without asking for my password
[22:09] <redzheb> SuperDefenderX: I use it but it not working
[22:10] <mushroomblue> anyone know if OpenChrome9 is supported in Intrepid?
[22:10] <Chousuke> profanephobia: you can edit sudoers file and add a NOPASSWD exception for that command
[22:10] <BlackDalek> How do I fix permissions for Googleearth so I don't have to run it as root?
[22:10] <_VIM_> quibbler: nothing
[22:10] <[Tequila]> I just installed ubuntu 8.10 server and created a encrypted private dir. How to I mount/unlock it
[22:11] <quibbler> ;-(
[22:11] <Chousuke> profanephobia: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: always use "sudo visudo" to edit the sudoers file
[22:11] <SuperDefenderX> glistsj16: I don't know what you mean.
[22:11] <redzheb> SuperDefenderX: I have 3 options only to choice: default; hdmi; headphone. I tried all of them but not working
[22:11] <joaopinto> profanephobia, ah, for that you will need sudoers
[22:11] <Chousuke> profanephobia: if you do not, you might lock yourself out of root
[22:11] <glitsj16> SuperDefenderX: do you use pulseaudio ?
[22:11] <SuperDefenderX> glitsj16: Dunno. I thought Pulse Audio was the default for Ibex?
[22:12] <O__o> hi i keep getting "Warning: the RSA host key for 'p3' differs from the key for the IP address '<IP_ADDRESS>'" when i ssh into my server, how to remove that warning?
[22:12] <profanephobia> Chousuke, so sudo visudo nano /etc/sudoers ?
[22:12] <Chousuke> profanephobia: no
[22:12] <Chousuke> profanephobia: EDITOR=nano sudo visudo
[22:12] <kansan___> what happens when kill -9 doesnt kill a process?  anything else to do?
[22:12] <SuperDefenderX> glitsj16: It's a fresh install, about 10 minutes ago. :)
[22:12] <redzheb> SuperDefenderX: I have 3 options only to choice: default; hdmi; headphone. I tried all of them but not working
[22:12] <aSt3raL> how can i set up ajax for apache2?
[22:12] <Favorit> kansan___: it's probably a child process. kill its parent
[22:12] <_VIM_> offtopic aSt3raL, ask in #apache
[22:12] <aSt3raL> thanks
[22:12] <mushroomblue> anyone know if OpenChrome9 is supported in Intrepid?
[22:12] <_VIM_> :)
[22:13] <glitsj16> SuperDefenderX: well you can open a process monitor to check if you have pulseaudio running, if so you can use it .. check with gnome-system-monitor for instance if you have it running
[22:13] <Chousuke> profanephobia: then ADD a line: yourusername ALL = NOPASSWD: /full/path/to/the/hibernatecommand
[22:13] <mushroomblue> I mean, worst-case scenario, I wait until tomorrow when jaunty is downloaded
[22:13] <mushroomblue> but it'd sorta be nice to know, and there's no documentation on it.
[22:13] <[Tequila]> I just installed ubuntu 8.10 server and created a encrypted private dir. How to I mount/unlock it
[22:13] <profanephobia> Chousuke, ok thanks
[22:13] <SuperDefenderX> redzheb: One moment.
[22:13] <kansan___> how do i kill a gnome-applet application that i dont want to see any more
[22:14] <Chousuke> profanephobia: make sure not to touch the other lines :)
[22:14] <turtle_> whateva steva meva brevalampost
[22:14] <turtle_> thats the new code
[22:14] <glitsj16> kansan___: right-click the applet ijn question, there should be a remove option or similar
[22:14] <turtle_> its written in C++ A-
[22:15] <ikonia> turtle_: what are you talking about ?
[22:15] <profanephobia> Chousuke, quick newb question, writeout means save right?
[22:15] <turtle_> kick that jam outta here,   He's outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[22:15] <Chousuke> profanephobia: yes
[22:15] <ikonia> turtle_: what ?
[22:15] <profanephobia> Chousuke, ok thanks again
[22:15] <turtle_> ikonia,  don't question the questionnaire
[22:15] <Chousuke> profanephobia: visudo will complain if the sudoers format is wrong
[22:16] <Chousuke> profanephobia: that's why it's important to use visudo
[22:16] <badp> Hello. How can I set up a personal repository? I need to install on Intrepid a number of packages from Jaunty (namely, Amarok 2 and the 19 or so dependencies I don't have).
[22:16] <Chousuke> profanephobia: you can use a normal editor too, if you want, but that's dangerous :)
[22:16] <[Tequila]> I just installed ubuntu 8.10 server and created a encrypted private dir. How to I mount/unlock it
[22:16] <ikonia> badp: you don't install jaunty packages on 8.10
[22:16] <_dfox> badp you could go to the amarok neon page, and install the amarok-nightly package
[22:16] <turtle_> why?
[22:17]  * hipzen laughs as he sees O__o's quitmsg
[22:17] <ikonia> turtle_: this is a support channel only please - ubuntu support only
[22:17] <turtle_> oh ok
[22:17] <turtle_> im sorry
[22:17] <badp> _dfox, thanks.
[22:17] <turtle_> i thought i was at home for a second
[22:18] <Chousuke> a nick-based ban is not very effective :)
[22:18] <SuperDefenderX> glitsj16: Thanks. I installed "pavucontrol" and fixed everything.
[22:18] <badp> Depends on the lengths one's willing to go ;)
[22:18] <macrocosm> Has anyone here virtualized ubuntu 8.10 server with vmware server from a windoze main host os?  I cant seem to make any dns settings work in my ubuntu server.  I can attatch static ip's through my physical router but any dns I try to apply from within my ubuntu guest dont work.
[22:19] <glitsj16> SuperDefenderX: cool :)
[22:19] <profanephobia> Chousuke, now i just need to find where hibernate is installed lol
[22:19] <[Tequila]> I just installed ubuntu 8.10 server and created a encrypted private dir. How to I mount/unlock it
[22:19] <Ronald> Can rsync compare with some sort of hash?
[22:19] <SuperDefenderX> redzheb: You still here?
[22:20] <Chousuke> profanephobia: which hibernate
[22:20] <Chousuke> ;)
[22:20] <Chousuke> (I mean, that is a command)
[22:20] <Ronald> I just checked out a branch and I'd like to push it to my server but rsync wants to send everything because the files are new
[22:20] <profanephobia> Chousuke, from the repos i did sudo apt-get install hibernate
[22:20] <Chousuke> whereis hibernate apparently works too
[22:20] <redzheb> SuperDefenDerX: YES i 'M HERE
[22:20] <Chousuke> profanephobia: I mean, that command will tell you the path where the executable is
[22:21] <axisys> i am having md issue .. exactly like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1034772
[22:21] <axisys> dont see a fix for this
[22:21] <profanephobia> Chousuke, its just sudo hibernate
[22:21] <redzheb> SuperDefenDerX: YES i 'M HERE
[22:21] <Chousuke> profanephobia: for the sudoers file you need the path to the hibernate executable
[22:22] <profanephobia> Chousuke, i know i just havent found it yet, i thought it would have been in /usr/bin but alas, its not
[22:22] <SuperDefenderX> redheb: Did you try  "System>> Preferences>> Sound" set everything to "autodetect" and "sound capture" to Pulse.
[22:22] <Chousuke> profanephobia: so if "which hibernate" outputs /usr/bin/hibernate, you put "username ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/hibernate" in your sudoers file
[22:22] <doc``> ok i hit some button that zoomed in in ubuntu, how do i zoom out?
[22:22] <Chousuke> profanephobia: so what does it say when you do "which hibernate"?
[22:23] <profanephobia> Chousuke, ah brilliant i didnt even know about that cmd its in /usr/sbin thanks for all your help
[22:23] <Chousuke> profanephobia: it's a handy command :)
[22:24] <Chousuke> profanephobia: if all goes well you should be able to run "sudo hibernate" without being asked for a password
[22:24] <macrocosm> Whats the best way to diagnose dns issues? Ubuntu server 8.10
[22:24] <Chousuke> because sudo is awesome like that.
[22:25] <Chousuke> many people seem to not appreciate its awesomeness though :/
[22:25] <Chousuke> instead resorting to old-fashioned "root logins"
[22:25] <Chousuke> but enough of that. problem solved, all is fine.
[22:25] <poseidon> how do I get a program to run on startup?
[22:26] <jae-na> hi there. i just installed the newest ubuntu x86_64 on my vaio. my dvd drive is useless unless i boot with a cd or dvd in the drive -- that's the only way i can mount a dvd or a cd. if i boot without media in the drive, and put a disk in after ubuntu has booted, nothing happens. i ran lsscsi and did not see my dvd drive listed. any pointers?
[22:28] <mushroomblue> so, anyone know if Via Chrome 9 HC3 is supported in intrepid? I'm not finding any resources on it.
[22:28] <jae-na> and i know that my dvd drive works because i used it to install ubuntu
[22:28] <macrocosm> Whats the best way to diagnose dns issues on Ubuntu server 8.10?  I think its cause its virtualized -vmware -and thats why its not working.  I have followed all instructions to the t for setting up dns bits.
[22:29] <Hasbro> Hey
[22:29] <Hasbro> Using grep how can I  search just for processes with the name ftp?
[22:30] <Hasbro> like, grep ps aux || ftp
[22:30] <Hasbro> I'm not sure the command
[22:30] <redzheb> SuperDefenDerX: YES i 'M HERE
[22:30] <redzheb> SuperDefenDerX: YES i 'M HERE
[22:30] <mikewu> Hasbro: ps aux | grep ftp
[22:30] <Hasbro> ah
[22:30] <Hasbro> had it backwards, lol
[22:30] <hipzen> goodnight all
[22:30] <Hasbro> May god bless your soul :)
[22:31] <Scunizi> I have a Citrix .ica file that works if I right click and say "open with Fire Fox".  I'm trying to create a shortcut so it works the same.  What do I use on the command line to "open the ics file" with Firefox? Simply putting "Firefox <filename.ics> doesn't work.
[22:31] <kesi> Hi all, I'm trying to follow some directions which involve editing the sudoers file.  However, when I type sudo visudo it doesn't take me into a vi type interface, it looks just like pico..
[22:32] <mikewu> kesi: set your EDITOR variable to vi "export EDITOR=vi"
[22:32] <glitsj16> Scunizi: the actual command to start Firefox is firefox, no capital F
[22:32] <Scunizi> glitsj16: ok.. any idea on the rest?
[22:32] <filthpig> Hi, how can I find out which gfx driver I am currently using? I know it's an open source AMD/ATI driver. It's an old R200-card, does those use the ati or radeonhd drivers?
[22:33] <crdlb> filthpig: it uses the radeon (aka ati) driver
[22:33] <crdlb> since that's the only driver which will ever support it
[22:33] <glitsj16> Scunizi: wht does 'firefox /path/to/your/file do ?
[22:33] <crdlb> other than vesa
[22:33] <kesi> mikewu, I typee "export EDITOR=vi" into the terminal, was that what you meant?  didn't seem to do anything.
[22:33] <mikewu> kesi: it just sets a variable, try running your previous command, it hopefully should open with vi now
[22:34] <kesi> mikewu, it doesn't.
[22:34] <filthpig> crdlb: okay thanks. How can I get that info out of my system though? It'd be nice to know on a general basis
[22:34] <kesi> mikewu, still GNU nano
[22:34] <crdlb> filthpig: look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:34] <Seveas> kesi, sudo EDITOR=vi visudo
[22:34] <Scunizi> glitsj16: nevermind.. I had the ics file in ~ and in the shortcut I was representing /home/<username> as ~ and it didn't like it.. after spelling it out it worked fine. :/
[22:35] <Seveas> kesi, alternatively, set the global default editor with sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[22:35] <glitsj16> Scunizi: one less thing, k :)
[22:35] <kesi> Seveas, I get sudo:export: command not found
[22:35] <Seveas> kesi, please read what I typed carefully. You'll see I didn't type export :)
[22:35] <Scunizi> glitsj16: yep.. just more typing.. go figure nautilus wouldn't understand ~ for current /home
[22:35] <filthpig> crdlb: okay. thought there was some command to pop it up, it'd be nice to have a way to list all hardware drivers in use linked up to what hardware they were running on
[22:36] <filthpig> oh well, I gotta scoot, kthxbye :)
[22:36] <kesi> Seveas, thanks!
[22:36] <glitsj16> Scunizi: i run xfce, never needed nautilus
[22:36] <Scunizi> :)
[22:39] <nivalis> glitsj16, one thing i miss in thunar is you have to play around a bit to mount remote disks
[22:40] <Blast> okay i still don't understand this wireless internet
[22:40] <Blast> !info wireless internet
[22:40] <mbreum> Any ALSA-experts here?
[22:40] <Blast> !info sudo
[22:41] <nickrud_> this has to be the quietest it's been in months
[22:41] <eseven73> yea i was just bout to say that too
[22:42] <eseven73> ubuntu is getting too good, no one needs help :)
[22:42] <hoonteke> Is there a reason why, for the daily development builds, canonical/ubuntu doesn't offer a bittorrent option?
[22:42] <david_> Hi, can someone help me troubleshoot a network problem please: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/336674
[22:42] <nickrud_> except sound. sound will be with us forever i think
[22:43] <Jufis> yea I always mess up my sounds
[22:43] <eseven73> sound and nvidia/ati issues
[22:43] <dstar> _VIM_: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart doesn't work (I've been screwing around with it all this time). I ended up having to just run 'pulseaudio -D' in a terminal window... but hey, it worked.
[22:43] <oCean_> david_: for Jaunty issues, join #ubuntu+1
[22:44] <eseven73> dstar: ok well glad you got it working (im VIM) :)
[22:44] <david_> oCean_: Thanks.
[22:44] <hmw> david_ - I can't help you on resolving this issue, but wicd might work better than network manager.
[22:44] <hoonteke> dstar: yeah, I note that pulseaudio will randomly crash.  Often after 2nd or 3rd wake up from computer suspension
[22:44] <hoonteke> my fix/workaround is to make sure it's dead ( killall pulseaudio )
[22:45] <hoonteke> and then just have a terminal window open to hit ctrl+c and up+enter to run pulseaudio
[22:45] <hoonteke> not exactly user friendly, but it worksforme ...
[22:45] <eseven73> my fix is to uninstall pulseaudio
[22:45] <eseven73> easier
[22:45] <david_> hmw: Will take a look, thanks.
[22:45] <Jufis> but don't you get errors when you start ubuntu if you do that eseven73 ?
[22:46] <eseven73> nope
