[09:07] <anton_> batrix: you have to do that as root
[09:07] <TMX> -bash: lynx not found ;_;
[09:07] <scheuri> anton_: well, thank you very much anyway...I am a step closer to a solution for sure
[09:07] <darko3d> the beryl installation guide, says: Make sure to get the public key for the repository, where do i get that?????????????????
[09:07] <batrix> anton_ i am root
[09:07] <TMX> does the livecd come with a text mode browser?
[09:07] <GeForce> tmx: sudo apt-get install lynx
[09:07] <bruenig> TMX, sudo apt-get install lynx, the default text browser is w3m
[09:07] <elubie> GeForce: I think that was why after installing them once ubuntu only recognized one processor
[09:08] <TMX> ah, of course
[09:08] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, dirms is a defrager, and buzzsaw is a background realtime defragtool making sure you never have to bother with defraging again
[09:08] <degus> after installing nvidia kernel and glx do i have to reboot?
[09:08] <TMX> *hasn't used ubuntu in a while*
[09:08] <batrix> anton_ oh shit lol i'm in the wrong channel i'm trying to do this for slackware sorry hehe
[09:08] <TMX> I'd forgotten how simple software installation was :)
[09:08] <H3g3m0n> Personally i prefer elinks and links2 over lynx
[09:08] <anton_> batrix: okay :) lots of fun with slackware :)
[09:08] <GeForce> Elubie: well, if it stops recognizing your 2 cpus, from the boot screen, you can switch back
[09:08] <barrett9h> TMX: try links
[09:08] <barrett9h> it was installed here by default
[09:09] <TMX> nah, no links either
[09:09] <barrett9h> iirc
[09:09] <anton_> degus: you have to restart x-windows. the kernel module should be loaded automagically
[09:09] <Jager-> nolimitsoya: Awesome! Thanks :)
[09:09] <NET||abuse> hmm, i have apache2 and openssl, but do i also need an apache-mod-ssl package to run ssl certificates?
[09:09] <elubie> GeForce: ok, will try then, thanks for the help
[09:09] <NET||abuse> i don't see it anywhere in the deb's
[09:09] <darko3d> the beryl installation guide, says: Make sure to get the public key for the repository, where do i get that?????????????????
[09:09] <GeForce> elubie: im a n00b too, but im tryin to help :)

[09:09] <NET||abuse> darko3d: mostly in the tutorial, it's listed right there
[09:09] <pixel> anton_: I found a program for that!  bum
[09:10] <degus> ok thanks
[09:10] <GeForce> I REALLY like the "63.0% free" :D
[09:10] <Hoagie> Alright, different issue I'd like to sort! Do you -need- an internet connection to install programs? I mean, is it possible to download them on this computer, and transfer them to my ubuntu machine to install? I've not had the time/money to go out and buy a router yet
[09:10] <darko3d> no, it's not
[09:10] <barrett9h> is there an easy way to setup internet connection sharing with bluetooth?
[09:10] <Hoagie> But I'd quite like to get some swanky Gdesklets and such going
[09:10] <darko3d> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Dapper/AiGLX
[09:10] <elubie> GeForce: :)
[09:10] <GeForce> tmx: FYI btw, the way I installed the nvidia drivers was to do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, but I have no idea if it works on a live cd
[09:10] <dabaR> hey, did you know that suckas pack yo' shi%?
[09:11] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: You can just download the .deb files
[09:11] <TMX> GeForce: ty, I'll give that a try before I do it manually
[09:11] <anton_> okay, everybody. i'm rebooting into mandriva. see you later :)
[09:11] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[09:11] <ink251> what ubuntus default porn browser?
[09:11] <GeForce> tmx: yeah it's sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, then sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:12] <mborohov> hey guys
[09:12] <ink251> hey
[09:12] <GeForce> tmx: Litttle warning tho. I dunno if they support Crossfire (or nvidia's equivalent) in linux yet
[09:12] <w30> ink251, xxxorg
[09:12] <ink251> heh ok
[09:12] <darko3d> the beryl installation guide, says: Make sure to get the public key for the repository, where do i get that. it's not in the tutorial http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Dapper/AiGLX
[09:12] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Ah, nice! Thanks again!
[09:12] <mborohov> im having issues getting compiz to work, is there a tutorial of sorts on the web? i suppose its easiest to do it through AiGLX? then again, i dont really know very much about compiz.
[09:12] <TMX> GeForce: SLI isn't supported, but it falls back to single mode nicely, or it did in 5.10
[09:12] <ink251> yeah i did it through aiglx
[09:13] <GeForce> tmx: oh ok
[09:13] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: The main problem with doing it that way is dependencies though, if you have another ubuntu install thats the same verison/arch you can install the programs on that and then copy all the /var/cache/apt files across
[09:13] <mborohov> oh, and im running edy
[09:13] <mborohov> edgy*
[09:13] <GeForce> mborohov: Which video card are you using?
[09:13] <sc0tty> is there a guid to install ubuntu booting from something else than a cd ?
[09:13] <darko3d> the beryl installation guide, says: Make sure to get the public key for the repository, where do i get that. it's not in the tutorial http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Dapper/AiGLX
[09:14] <flugh> darko3d, it says right below 'get the key' a commandline to import the key
[09:14] <mborohov> GeForce: I'm using a...
[09:14] <mborohov> nVidia Corporation GeForce Go 6200 TurboCache
[09:14] <mborohov> says lspci
[09:15] <flugh> darko3d, the .asc file is an ascii file with the public key of the person responsible for signing the packages. it's piped to apt-key and added to your keyring
[09:15] <nolimitsoya> does anyone know of a good(=fast, fully functioning and unbloated), gui bittorrent client that can be configured to automaticaly load all torrents within a specified directory? preferably gtk, but qt as acceptable
[09:15] <nolimitsoya> *is acceptable
[09:15] <mournsanity> anyone know where I can download the source for the wanda fish applet
[09:15] <bruenig> utorrent
[09:15] <darko3d> i ran that from the beginning andf i got, HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 20:14:24 ERROR 404: Not Found.  gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[09:16] <GeForce> mborohov: Hmmm.... I'm personnaly using the beta nvidia drivers, as I had problems with the stable ones in AIGLX
[09:16] <GeForce> but it works ok now
[09:16] <aldo> hi
[09:16] <mborohov> i dont know how to set it up is the main issue
[09:16] <bruenig> !hi | aldo
[09:16] <ubotu> aldo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:16] <GeForce> mborohov: might wanna check #ubuntu-xgl
[09:16] <mborohov> are you using compiz or beryl?
[09:16] <flugh> mournsanity, do you have source repository entries enabled for apt? apt-get source 'package' should work (forgive me if it doesn't, been away from ubuntu/debian/apt a while :))
[09:16] <nolimitsoya> bruenig, thats what im using now, but id like a linux naitive app. besides, it doesnt seem to accept incoming connections in linux through wine, though is does in windows
[09:16] <zebulon25> Hi
[09:16] <barrett9h> how do I setup internet connection sharing with bluetooth?
[09:16] <bruenig> nolimitsoya, works great here, but perhaps I got lucky
[09:16] <mournsanity> thanks flugh, ill try it
[09:17] <fourat> when i plug a hard disk on the IDE interface, ubuntu freezes, is there anyway to hot-plug it ?
[09:17] <nolimitsoya> bruenig, what version of wine are you using?
[09:17] <ink251> get a usb mount
[09:17] <aldo> do you know what's the command to check and repair a damaged filesystem from a live cd?
[09:17] <bruenig> 0.9.22
[09:17] <darko3d> flugh:i ran that from the beginning andf i got, HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 20:14:24 ERROR 404: Not Found.  gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[09:17] <mat1> u cant hot-plug a ide
[09:17] <nolimitsoya> fourat, pata (if thats what you mean by ide) are not generaly hotswapable.
[09:17] <TMX> GeForce: that works a treat, ty, albeit the the screens are the wrong way around, but I think I can live with that for 15 minutes while I finish installing :P
[09:18] <GeForce> tmx: YAY I fixed a problem! :) gl
[09:18] <flugh> darko3d, back up to the front page of that site, they have a corrected command to import the key (i just checked it)
[09:18] <ryanakca> how do I find out what port a service runs on again? grep svn /etc/?
[09:18] <thompa> the generic kernel does not work, im only showing one cpu
[09:18] <flugh> ryanakca, /etc/services
[09:18] <ryanakca> ty
[09:18] <aldo> nobody knows?
[09:19] <nolimitsoya> thompa, you would want the server/smp kernel, wouldnt you?
[09:19] <newpZ> what is the best method to convert a xvid/divx file into a dvd and burn? tovid+k3b?
[09:19] <thompa> nolimitsoya: ill try that
[09:19] <nolimitsoya> newpZ, devede :)
[09:19] <newpZ> nolimitsoya, havent heard of that... looking it up now!
[09:19] <thompa> nolimitsoya: i did have 2 cpus showing the last time i installed ubuntu and it was generic kernel
[09:19] <nolimitsoya> newpZ, apt-get
[09:19] <newpZ> looks PERFECT!
[09:19] <newpZ> thanks!
[09:19] <some> Hello, is it possible to make the livecd to be shared for pxe client? I a laptop without cdrom which i want it to boot on the livecd
[09:20] <nolimitsoya> thompa, yes, but that would have been the smp version of a generic kernel
[09:20] <GeForce> tmx: BTW, FYI, if u fizzle in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can swap the screens around, should be relatively easy (There might also be an option in Gnome, no idea tho)
[09:20] <jamesb2147> anyone know why it prompts for a password whenever i use a sudo command?
[09:20] <bruenig> !sudo | jamesb2147
[09:20] <thompa> maybe so whcih should i choose  smp?
[09:20] <ubotu> jamesb2147: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:21] <GeForce> jamesb2147,  to simplify it, sudo  = SuperUser Do
[09:21] <bruenig> jamesb2147, because the command needs root privileges. It is a safety precaution so that people don't get on your computer and just start deleting and destroying everything
[09:21] <thompa> nolimitsoya: right now im locking up on 100% cpu if i even play a cd
[09:21] <nolimitsoya> thompa, the ending just tells you about compile-time optimizations. -generic is meant to replace all the -686, -k7 and so on using modules instead, but i dont think is has smp support built in. i dont even think its possible todo so...
[09:21] <mat1> jamesb2147: use ur password:P
[09:21] <wilee85> anyone know where I can find the modprobe.conf file?
[09:21] <TMX> GeForce: yeah, it happens on all distro's I've usd, it's simple to fix tho.  No GUI tool to do it yet though
[09:21] <thompa> nolimitsoya: the generic kernel should have smp
[09:22] <GeForce> tmx: lol I always free a partition in Windows before installin linux
[09:22] <pixel> is there a plugin for Firefox that supports resume downloads from websites please?
[09:22] <nolimitsoya> pixel, flashgot
[09:22] <GeForce> All I do is tell it: "Use the free partition space"
[09:22] <thompa> nolimitsoya: linux-686-smp obsoleted by genric it says
[09:22] <bruenig> flashgot requires a download manager though, I think
[09:22] <TMX> *has no spare partitions
[09:23] <thompa> nolimitsoya: i can install it and see what happens
[09:23] <nolimitsoya> thompa, then im in at the deep end :)
[09:23] <GeForce> tmx: Then bend over and pray! lawls
[09:23] <barrett9h> flashgot + freeloader?
[09:23] <pixel> nolimitsoya: thanks
[09:23] <TMX> vista on one,another ntfs and then linux in an extended
[09:23] <GeForce> ahhh, Vista RC2%?
[09:23] <TMX> nope
[09:23] <TMX> RTM
[09:23] <GeForce> Ahh... Ic.
[09:23] <TMX> *was an official tester*
[09:23] <thompa> nolimitsoya: i think something is wrong either in hardware detection or my hardware maybe, but it worries me
[09:24] <GeForce> uh-huh
[09:24] <GeForce> And you are an unofficial user now eh? lol
[09:24] <TMX> so they gave me a free copy of the version to be released in 4 days time :)
[09:24] <GeForce> ah ok lol
[09:24] <sloncho> hi. is there a way to make Totem to autolaunch when I insert DVD?
[09:24] <thompa> nolimitsoya: im going to go back to kanotix and see if it detects 2 processors
[09:24] <GeForce> I personnally am not using vista yet. Waiting for January.
[09:24] <GeForce> And hell, Ubuntu is helping me greatly in my Vista craving
[09:25] <TMX> GeForce: I was going to wait, but I like playing with shiny new things :)
[09:25] <GeForce> Ubuntu + AIGLX ftw
[09:25] <qman|A64z> ok...I attempted to put the ubuntu live CD on my usb stick, but I'm having problems
[09:25] <GeForce> Yeah I know the feeling
[09:25] <qman|A64z> I followed a guide for knoppix
[09:25] <jamesb2147> vista really isn't great.  can't even burn a dvd properly yet
[09:25] <Wyvern|> Does anyone have experience with installing a printer on Ubuntu server?
[09:25] <TMX> jamesb2147: did for me :)
[09:25] <GeForce> tmx: When you say that not too long ago, I almost felt like wiping XP and reinstalling ME just to see a good ol' BSOD...
[09:25] <qman|A64z> my stick is bootable, it contains the entire live CD
[09:25] <nolimitsoya> qman|A64z, dont. follow the ubuntu guide in the wiki instead
[09:25] <qman|A64z> where is that
[09:25] <qman|A64z> because I can't find it
[09:26] <GeForce> qman|A64z, : That's wrong in a couple of ways :D
[09:26] <Jager-> I hope vista turns out good, but Id still rather see linux preinstalled on factory built machines
[09:26] <TMX> GeForce: if you miss the BSOD's there is a registry patch you can add to make it BSOD on demand :)
[09:26] <nolimitsoya> qman|A64z, besides, many motherboards cant boot from usb correctly, so your stick might be just fine - and still not working
[09:26] <qman|A64z> no
[09:26] <qman|A64z> it boots
[09:26] <GeForce> tmx: haha yeah I know
[09:26] <Cosmonaut3030> Hello. Can someone help me set up my IPW card?
[09:26] <qman|A64z> but, it can't find the kernel image
[09:26] <qman|A64z> it says /casper/.vml not found
[09:26] <qman|A64z> I have it booting and it has the ubuntu logo and all that
[09:26] <elubie> GeForce: The X-Server didn't start after I installed nvidia-glx and booted into generic. Error message was something like The NVIDIA is kernel module version 1.0_8774 and the X module version is 1.0_8776
[09:27] <Cosmonaut3030> Hello. Can someone help me set up my IPW card?
[09:27] <jamesb2147> i got a couple burnt, but as soon as my C:/ drive had less than 5 gbs avail, it all went kaput
[09:27] <qman|A64z> I can't use the CD to install, it refuses to work
[09:27] <GeForce> elubie: Hmmmm, the nvidia-module is of a higher version, odd
[09:27] <qman|A64z> so I need a guide to put it on my USB stick
[09:27] <qman|A64z> I had 6.06 running on this same machine already, upgraded from 5.10
[09:28] <jamesb2147> it also wouldnt let me switch to my E:/ drive to store temp files.  D:/ it would, but not E:/, which had 28gbs free
[09:28] <cmweb> Can any one help me install dhcp support on my PC?
[09:28] <GeForce> elubie: Wait, reinstall the nvidia-glx with the new kernel, that might be it
[09:28] <mat1> n why couldnt u do dist-upgrade?
[09:28] <qman|A64z> it didn't work
[09:28] <qman|A64z> I ran dist upgrade and it simply didn't uprade
[09:28] <qman|A64z> upgrade
[09:28] <elubie> GeForce: eh the other way round, nvidia is lower version
[09:28] <qman|A64z> no errors
[09:28] <qman|A64z> just didn't do it
[09:28] <qman|A64z> I had a couple other broken things anyway and wanted to start fresh
[09:28] <GeForce> elubie: Then sorry, I got no idea.... I just know that's how I did it
[09:28] <mat1> u try sudo dist-upgrade?
[09:29] <qman|A64z> I know how to dist upgrade
[09:29] <nolimitsoya> ok, anyone else got a good suggestion for a linux native, non bloated torrent client that can load torrents from a directory automaticaly?
[09:29] <elubie> GeForce: np, might try to install nvidia-glx again
[09:29] <TMX> hmm, I wish the installer would tell you how big each mountable partition is when choosing the mount point.  Now I have to play a game of "guess which drive I am"
[09:29] <qman|A64z> that's irrelevant now anyway, because the disk is already reformatted
[09:29] <TokenBad> ok has something got changed for rar files...i tried to install rar but got not found..
[09:30] <GeForce> elubie: inside the new kernel tho. If you do it on the old kernel, it wont work, I think
[09:30] <qman|A64z> I need to get the live CD booting from my USB stick
[09:30] <nolimitsoya> TokenBad, no, nothing has changed. shows up just fine on an apt-cache search
[09:30] <qman|A64z> and I can't find a guide for ubuntu
[09:30] <TokenBad> I did apt-cache and it says not there....
[09:30] <TMX> nolimitsoya: I think azureus can do the autoloading, but it's quite heavy
[09:30] <qman|A64z> I found one for gentoo which is useless and one for knoppix which got me where I am
[09:30] <Jager-> nolimitsoya: does dirMS usually perform faster than the windows defragger?
[09:31] <nolimitsoya> TokenBad, then you havnt got the right repos
[09:31] <elubie> GeForce: hmm, that would mean the module on the generic kernel is older than the one on the 386 kernel
[09:31] <nolimitsoya> TMX, yes, know. that why i added the 'non bloated'-line. thank anyway. :)
[09:31] <cmweb> Can any one help me install dhcp support for my ethernt network?
[09:31] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, in my experience, yes
[09:31] <Jager-> -_-
[09:32] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, unless you do the thorough defragmentation... that takes ages, but reduces future fragmentation a great deal
[09:32] <TokenBad> nolimitsoya, I find unrar...but not rar...I used to use rar
[09:32] <nolimitsoya> TokenBad, as i said, open the right repos and you find it just fine :)
[09:32] <TokenBad> nolimitsoya, I have them all open...I just did that...
[09:32] <jamesb2147> how do i exit X server?
[09:32] <TokenBad> and updated
[09:32] <Farhad> with witch command I can find bad sectors on my hard disk?
[09:33] <Jager-> Ah dirms isnt freeware
[09:33] <cmweb> !dhcp
[09:33] <ubotu> dhcp: DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0pl5-19.4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 108 kB, installed size 308 kB
[09:33] <GeForce> elubie: I know that when u install the driver, it installs a kernel module. If the module is installed on the wrong kernel.....
[09:33] <GeForce> o well'z
[09:33] <ryanakca> is there a good frontend to iptables?
[09:33] <mat1> jamesb2147 try ctrl +alt+backspace
[09:33] <nolimitsoya> TokenBad, still shows up just fine here. are you using dapper, or edgy? anyway, i find p7zip-full to be a much moreattractive piece of software
[09:34] <sukeltje> hi
[09:34] <TokenBad> nolimitsoya, dapper
[09:34] <Farhad> How I can find bad sectors on my hard disk?
[09:34] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, yes it is. you register for free, but have to renew the registration every month unless you pay a small fee
[09:34] <mat1> scandik
[09:34] <nolimitsoya> TokenBad, ah, then i cant check for you... might be they took it out of dapper for some reason
[09:35] <nolimitsoya> ryanakca, firestarter for a simple, user friendly gtk version, and shorewall for more advanced configuration

[09:36] <eNons3nse> ok.  i'm having a wifi problem.  i can use a wired connection straight to my router just fine.  i can connect to my wireless router just fine and network-manager even says i'm at 95-100% signal strength.  when i'm connected to wireless though my desktop internet doesnt work.  almost like i don't really have a connection.  everything worked fine with my wireless a couple weeks ago.
[09:36] <nolimitsoya> eNons3nse, sounds like a dns/router problem to me, and not an ubuntu one...
[09:36] <qman|A64z> eNons3nse: is your DNS set up correctly?
[09:36] <TMX> eNons3nse: can you ping the router?
[09:37] <Farhad> I want help!!!! How I can find bad sectors?
[09:37] <nolimitsoya> Farhad, scandisk
[09:37] <Jowi> eNons3nse, see if another channel on the router works better. might be interference

[09:38] <elubie> GeForce: It worked! I just found out that there were newer linux-generic-restricted modules in the repo. After updating that it worked! Yikes!
[09:38] <TokenBad> nolimitsoya, got it from rar website but it don't allow me to install it...just lets me run it from the extracted dir
[09:38] <yakumo> hi, how do install grub?
[09:38] <eNons3nse> TMX: would that be <IP_ADDRESS>?
[09:39] <elubie> GeForce: so, many thanks :)
[09:39] <GeForce> elubie: grats :)
[09:39] <TMX> yup, so run "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"

[09:39] <eNons3nse> ok.  one sec i have to connect to it so i'll loose this connection.
[09:39] <nolimitsoya> TokenBad, you could get over to #ubuntu-motu and ask them what they did to your package :)
[09:39] <TMX> ok
[09:39] <TMX> you should see something like :
[09:39] <TMX> 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_seq=3 ttl=244 time=171.057 ms
[09:40] <TMX> (except that was me pinging google, not your router:))
[09:40] <yakumo> if install windows my grub will be lost right?
[09:40] <TMX> yes
[09:41] <TMX> if you create a boot floppy though, you can reinstall it
[09:41] <Zaggynl> better install windows, then linux :)
[09:41] <nolimitsoya> how do i "alt+f4" an application in a terminal/console?
[09:41] <Zaggynl> nolimitsoya, CTRL-C should do
[09:41] <Jowi> yakumo, not quite. your MBR will be overwritten but that can be fixed. see the grub page here

[09:41] <Zaggynl> nolimitsoya, You're welcome.
[09:41] <grego> van itt magyar?:-)
[09:41] <yakumo> thnks
[09:41] <anton_> (alt + f4?)
[09:42] <eNons3nse> TMX: I guess not.  I kept getting "Destination Net Unreachable" errors.
[09:42] <GeForce> Damn, Steam seems to have crashed X
[09:42] <GeForce> :(
[09:42] <TMX> eNons3nse: sounds like a problem with the router is most likely, has somebody mucked about with the wirless settings maybe?
[09:43] <wilee85> how to I make it so a service automatically starts when the computer does?
[09:43] <Jowi> eNons3nse, try with another channel on the router
[09:43] <sukeltje> hey is there any1 here that is good with plugins?
[09:43] <TMX> sukeltje: plugins for what?
[09:43] <Zaggynl> anton_, (What you do in windows to shutdown an application)
[09:43] <Kalist00> does anyone know if ATI drivers support dual screen with DRI?
[09:43] <Jowi> eNons3nse, for example, if you use 6 now, set it to 3 or 9 or something. after that restart the wifi on the router and try again.
[09:43] <conor> !ipv6
[09:43] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[09:44] <eNons3nse> TMX:  actually.  I've never been able to change my wireless settings from the default.  the default admin password/username dont work.
[09:44] <mborohov> anyone know why some things are just plain black in beryl?
[09:44] <sukeltje> TMX: for e107 :P can you help me with that?
[09:44] <mborohov> like the menu?
[09:44] <eNons3nse> Jowi, how do I do that?
[09:44] <eNons3nse> TMX: so i can't get into the settings inside my router, but no one else can either.
[09:44] <eNons3nse> TMX: since no one knows the name/password.
[09:45] <conor> y0 i need ipv6 help
[09:45] <sukeltje> TMX: i have a question about a plugin, i found this on e107coders.org, the article name is: Submit Article - v1.0. I have a problem with it, i can submit an article, and accept it. Than it tells me it has been written to the database. But i dont know how to make: new article catagory's nor where to get the articles page where they are shown? any1 knows this plugin or can help me with it?
[09:45] <Jowi> eNons3nse, depends on the router. log in to it. if you can not login with the default username/password there is always a way to physically reset it.
[09:45] <thinh> i have a question
[09:45] <TMX> sukeltje: I'm afraid I've never used it, I'm a wordpress kinda guy :)
[09:45] <wilee85> how to I make it so a service automatically starts when the computer does?
[09:46] <thinh> on my computer i have 2 floppy
[09:46] <TMX> eNons3nse: it could be that someone has gained access to the router wirelessly and guessed the username and pass
[09:46] <thinh> floppy1 and a floppy drive
[09:46] <Jowi> wilee85, see update-rc.d
[09:46] <eNons3nse> Jowi: it's a linksys wrt54g and admin/admin doesn't work for the user/pass.  i tried pushing the reset button on the back and it still doesn't work.
[09:46] <thinh> floppy 1 is pointing to /dev
[09:46] <TMX> eNons3nse: I have one of those, its blank user, password admin
[09:46] <dot_j> wilee85: or system->prefs->session->startup tab
[09:47] <anirban> How can I install Baghira theme for KDE
[09:47] <sukeltje> TMX: no problem, do you know a different plugin that can do this: i want a plugin that lets members sumbit articles, witch have to be accepted by an admin. When they are added they come in a list witch can also be shown as a link in my menu, and preferably it should be possible to make article catagory's
[09:47] <conor> ok, my ipv6 problem, i deleted 2 things in my network settings... they had ipv6 on them
[09:47] <anirban> can I use apt-get
[09:47] <TMX> sukeltje: fraid not :(
[09:47] <thinh> i cant access floppy 1 but when i do properties on it it says it 182gb which is the size of my drive
[09:48] <Jowi> eNons3nse, leave the username field blank and enter "admin" without quotes as the password
[09:48] <eNons3nse> TMX:  i'll try that.  so once i'm there I should try to change the channel that it's running on?
[09:48] <TMX> change the channel, double check the settings are what you expect them to be
[09:48] <eNons3nse> ok.  back in a few.
[09:48] <TMX> and if it's been left at the default settings, it's ip address should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:48] <sukeltje> TMX: darn, np... do you know a site that has GOOD easy plugins?
[09:49] <thinh> anyone help me with a floppy 1 issue
[09:49] <sgirc> hi all
[09:49] <matroblend> Can you remame a backup conf file from live cd?
[09:49] <qman|A64z> as long as the file is on a supported filesystem on a rewritable media
[09:50] <Jowi> matroblend, is the conf file on the harddisk?
[09:50] <sgirc> what is the command to plug /unplug a usb device (a modem i.e.) ?
[09:50] <matroblend> yes
[09:50] <conor> how do i reset my network settings to default ?
[09:50] <TMX> sukeltje: best bet is to see if there is an irc channel for e107 users, get their opinion
[09:50] <Jowi> matroblend, yes you can.
[09:50] <sukeltje> omg
[09:50] <anirban> I got it apt-get install kwin-baghira
[09:51] <TMX> sukeltje: try #e107
[09:51] <sukeltje> this is the ubuntu channel :P ROFL i didnt even see that!!! thought i joined #e107! ROFL :P HAHA ty anyway :D
[09:51] <sgirc> i just know lsusb that lists all connected usb devices
[09:51] <TMX> lol :D
[09:51] <matroblend> If I try to rename backup it says I can't write
[09:51] <sukeltje> yes, thanks :P omg STUPID ME :P hehe
[09:51] <sewoyl> sgirc: I was surprised too the first time^^
[09:51] <thinh> i have a floppy 1 that is point to /dev the size is 182gb which is the size of my hd, should that be my file system or hd?
[09:51] <sewoyl> i meant sukeltje
[09:51] <Jowi> matroblend, open a terminal and type "sudo -i" to get a root prompt. now you can rename it with "mv oldname newname"
[09:51] <sukeltje> rofl :P
[09:51] <sgirc> sewoyl: and now ?
[09:52] <cmweb> Ok i installed the DHCP and it failed to start up any one?
[09:52] <sewoyl> sgirc: i didnt mean you, sorry :)
[09:52] <sgirc> ok
[09:52] <eNons3nse> TMX & Jowi:  that doesn't work.  still can't get into my router settings.  tried the routers reset button as well.
[09:52] <sewoyl> sgirc: what r you trying to do ? i just got here
[09:52] <ciaron> once i've booted off my ubntu live cd
[09:52] <ciaron> how do i mount my windows drives?
[09:52] <matroblend> Jowi Ty I can do that from a live cd?
[09:52] <TMX> eNons3nse: ah, if you've reset it that completely wipes the routers memory
[09:53] <sewoyl> ciaron: arent they mountent automatically ?
[09:53] <ciaron> no
[09:53] <TMX> eNons3nse: the essid will be linksys now, with no encrption
[09:53] <ciaron> and when i try and browse it in "Places" it gives some error about it not being removable
[09:53] <Jowi> matroblend, yes
[09:53] <Jowi> matroblend, you need to mount your hard disk partition first but that's it
[09:53] <sewoyl> ciaron: forst,create a folder for each windows drive in /media/
[09:53] <ciaron> ah its a 6.06 "feature"
[09:53] <matroblend> Jowi k will try
[09:53] <eNons3nse> TMX: maybe the reset didn't work then because it's still coming up as the old name for the router.
[09:54] <mborohov> hey guys
[09:54] <mborohov> so i have beryl sort of working
[09:54] <mborohov> except now every single window i open is black
[09:54] <mborohov> any ideas?
[09:54] <sgirc> sewoyl: when I lust want to safely unplug my usb modem so thaht next time I plug it is automatically recognized
[09:54] <TMX> eNons3nse: are you connected to it by wires?
[09:54] <Jowi> eNons3nse, if the reset worked its ip address should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:54] <sgirc> sewoyl:  I just want to safely unplug my usb modem so that next time I plug it, it is automatically recognized
[09:55] <sewoyl> sgirc: sorry I have no experience with usb modems whatsoever, always had ethernet modems :s
[09:55] <sewoyl> sgirc: which by the way, should be the onlymodems manufactures ^^
[09:55] <sewoyl> manugactured*
[09:55] <thinh> can i delete a device that is pointing /dev?
[09:55] <eNons3nse> TMX: no.  when i'm on this wired connection i'm running an ethernet cord straight from my modem.
[09:55] <mirak> FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Device or resource busy
[09:55] <mirak> how can I know wich module is blocking the device ?
[09:56] <matroblend> Jowi Why can't I just click on the gui file and rename it?
[09:56] <DreamerHxC> hi everyone
[09:56] <Jowi> matroblend, because the GUI is not root/admin user
[09:56] <matroblend> Jowi Oh grrr
[09:57] <TMX> eNons3nse: maybe try wiring straight into the router, and trying to access the routers control panel
[09:57] <Pelo> matroblend,   open the terminal ,  type  gksu nautilus,  that will open nautilus as root, you can rename your file from there, in gui form
[09:57] <thinh> i have an extra floppy 1 on my  computer desktop, how do i get rid of it, it is mount to /dev for some reason
[09:57] <eNons3nse> TMX: i don't have enough eithernet cables.  only have the one.
[09:57] <eNons3nse> ha
[09:57] <RaiderX> does anyone know how to fix the problem with Photoshop 7 in Wine failing "to initialize VBox"?
[09:57] <eNons3nse> well.  let me check.
[09:58] <aMohammed> hey there ! Is it possible to install GDM on KDE without Gnome core ?
[09:58] <Jowi> eNons3nse, actually, what you should do is to call linksys support if you can not login to it or reset it
[09:58] <Pelo> RaiderX,   try in  #winehq
[09:58] <RaiderX> ok pelo thx

[09:58] <conor> how do i reset my network settings to default ?
[09:59] <matroblend> Pelo ty can you do that from a live cd to the hd
[09:59] <Jowi> eNons3nse, yep. but they might help you reset it or even replace it if it is faulty.
[09:59] <Pelo> matroblend,  don't know , try it
[09:59] <matroblend> Pelo ty
[09:59] <eNons3nse> Jowi: what happens when I tell them I'm using Linux?  haha.  "sorry sir, we're not handled to support you."
[09:59] <tonyyarusso> eNons3nse: You don't tell them.  Period.  Make it up if you have to.
[09:59] <Hexidigital> can someone help me with iptables?  i have a router behind my ubuntu machine, dns resolves names and addresses for client machines, however they cannot view web pages
[10:00] <Jowi> eNons3nse, shouldn't matter. (used to work for ughhhh D-Link support and we didn't care which OS was used)
[10:00] <TMX> eNons3nse: just don't tell them that :P I do it all the time, just silently transpose windows instructions to linux ones :)
[10:00] <tonyyarusso> yep
[10:00] <eNons3nse> i actually found another e-net cable.
[10:01] <Jowi> eNons3nse, ...or do what TMX say :)
[10:01] <Morrissey> Ok, with a clean user (wich I just added to kde) I can run beryl-xgl with no problems :) But when I try to use it with my default user (wich Ive used for over a year with all of my settings) I get "Another window manager is allready running." and "No managaeble screens found on display" Can anyone help?
[10:01] <TMX> linksys are pretty god with linux anyway, almost all their router firmware is embedded linux
[10:01] <aMohammed> Is it possible to install GDM on Kubuntu without Gnome core ?
[10:01] <tonyyarusso> TMX: Not v5
[10:01] <Hoagie> Hey. I'm having trouble connecting to the internet. I'm trying to use a USB ASDL modem, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I only installed ubuntu a few hours ago, so I'm a total newbie.
[10:01] <TMX> tonyyarusso: *almost* :)
[10:01] <dsnyders> Hi all!  How do I add my floppy drive to /media?
[10:02] <Jowi> Hoagie, in a terminal - "sudo pppoeconf" and follow the instructions
[10:02] <Kengur> hi
[10:02] <tonyyarusso> TMX: Which is why I bought the new GL one :)
[10:02] <Kengur> can anyone help with network problem?
[10:02] <Hoagie> Jowi: Cheers
[10:02] <nolimitsoya> dsnyders, make a directory, and moun with 'sudo mount /dev/fd0 -t dosfs /media/<directory you created>'
[10:03] <nolimitsoya> !ask | Kengur
[10:03] <ubotu> Kengur: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:03] <TMX> tonyyarusso: I've got an original wrt54g v3 :)
[10:03] <ryanakca> does anybody know of a good, easy to use frontend for iptables? or even a link to a iptables howto?
[10:03] <ryanakca> !iptables
[10:03] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:03] <aMohammed> Is it possible to install GDM on Kubuntu without Gnome core ?
[10:03] <Jowi> ryanakca, firestarter is ok
[10:03] <TMX> !gdm
[10:03] <ubotu> gdm: GNOME Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 2.16.1-0ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 1686 kB, installed size 12300 kB
[10:03] <TMX> hmm, no extra info there :/
[10:04] <dsnyders> nolimitsoya, Perhaps I mis-stated the problem.  /media contains dynamic mount points, but when I put a floppy in the drive one is not created.
[10:04] <nolimitsoya> ryanakca, i awnsered you once alreadly. firestarter or shorewall depending on your needs,and 'man iptables' at a console to read the documentation
[10:04] <Kengur> i get a ADSL over PPPoE, so i basically have a eithernet connection, and i have constant network getting down for no reason
[10:04] <tonyyarusso> TMX: apt-cache show gdm, and look at the depends
[10:04] <nolimitsoya> dsnyders, well, youll have to mount manualy i think... i dont use floppies much :)
[10:04] <Pelo> ryanakca, http://qtables.radom.org/
[10:04] <Jowi> Kengur, so the connection works but disconnects after awhile?
[10:04] <nolimitsoya> (anymore)
[10:04] <Kengur> dmesg says something like this...  Neighbour table overflow.  printk: 15 messages suppressed.
[10:04] <ryanakca> nolimitsoya: firestarter doesn't answer my needs... and shorewall seems overly complicated for what I'm trying to do :)
[10:04] <ryanakca> Pelo: thanks :)
[10:04] <Moosejaw> hey all
[10:05] <dsnyders> nolimitsoya, I don't either.  However, I have a few things I need to get off of some floppys.
[10:05] <Kengur> Jowi: yes, i use torrent most of the time at 90 percent of my bandwidth, that's it
[10:05] <Moosejaw> do i have to install ndiswrapper from a specific place for it to install correctly?  Currently I am compiling the source and installing from Desktop but it doesnt seem to be working
[10:05] <nolimitsoya> dsnyders, well, manual mount is always painless :)
[10:05] <whta> Hello again, I need some assistance mounting my other hard drives so I can get to them from ubuntu :o
[10:05] <Jowi> Kengur, does it only disconnect when using high bandwidth?
[10:05] <Moosejaw> i have also tried to do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper but i get a cannot locate E: error
[10:05] <nolimitsoya> !mount | whta
[10:05] <ubotu> whta: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[10:06] <dsnyders> nolimitsoya, Oh I wish that were so.
[10:06] <TMX> aMohammed: it doesn't look like it i'm afraid, has a boatload of dependancies.  do it via apt-get install and it will tell you what it needs before installing
[10:06] <Kengur> um, dunno, does the dmesg log says anything that might give a clue?
[10:06] <nolimitsoya> dsnyders, when has it ever failed? :) or is it now?
[10:06] <Kengur> Neighbour table overflow.  printk: 15 messages suppressed.
[10:06] <whta> umm.. System > Administration > Disks does not exist
[10:06] <aMohammed> ok , thanks
[10:07] <nolimitsoya> whta, then type 'man mount' in a terminal
[10:07] <Moosejaw> can someone help me with my ndiswrapper questions?
[10:07] <dsnyders> nolimitsoya, I've had problems in the past.  No point getting into them.
[10:07] <Kengur> i mean it usually get's down when i'm not around, so i can't say if it's actively downloading or not
[10:07] <whta> nolimitsoya: done..
[10:07] <Jowi> Kengur, not sure. Maybe it is possible to change the MTU value in the modem. depends on modem to modem. if you can login to a web based setup page in the modem it should be possible to change some values. but you need to contact your ISP to see which MTU or other settings that should be there.

[10:08] <nolimitsoya> whta, good. then read it through and use it :) then try man fstab, and adapt what you have just learned
[10:09] <Kengur> Jowi: the problem is it never appeared under windows or fedora core
[10:10] <Jowi> Kengur, disconnections can be tough to troubleshoot. see if you can use a livecd (of fedora or something) to see if the problem exist there. if not, it is something wrong with the driver. if the same problem exist, contact your isp.
[10:11] <Kengur> Jowi: can it be that someone outside is trying to bring the connection down? may be i need a firewall or smthng?
[10:11] <eNons3nse> OK.  the reset worked and i could get into my router settings wirelessly.  I canged the channel and that didn't work.  I also hooked up a wired connection through my router and that didn't work either.  so is it pretty safe to say that it's a problem with my router.
[10:11] <Jowi> Kengur, not likely.
[10:11] <Hoagie> I'm trying to get my internet working under ubuntu. I'm using a USB BT Voyager 105 modem. When plugged into my laptop, I get the power light, but the DSL light is off. How can I sort it?
[10:11] <Jowi> Kengur, might be a problem with A. settings or driver or B. hardware (filter, modem, cables)
[10:12] <mirak>  setserial /dev/ttyUSB0
[10:12] <mirak> Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument
[10:12] <mirak> anyone already had this ?
[10:12] <Hoagie> I've used pppoef config, with no result.
[10:12] <Pelo> Hoagie,   look up your modem model and number in the forum
[10:13] <Kengur> Jowi: i didn't have this problem under fedora core, so it might be ubuntu thingy =(
[10:13] <Jowi> Kengur, might be. hard for me to make an oppinion about at this moment unfortunatly
[10:13] <emilia> hey does anyone know what i could use to receive faxes in ubuntu?
[10:13] <Jowi> Hoagie, did pppoeconf detect your modem?
[10:13] <g333k_work> hi, how to comment an amount of lines in dhcpd.conf?
[10:13] <Kengur> well anyways, i'll google a bit on this one... how do i change grub boot option permanently?? i need to use "noapic"
[10:14] <Hoagie> Jowi: Nope.
[10:14] <DreamerHxC> I have problems with my ATI card, sometimes I can boot in graphic mode, sometimes I cannot. I have just entered in graphic mode and I have pasted my xorg.conf, Xor.0.log and my fglxinfo, can somebody help me please?
[10:14] <wilee85> how do I run a program in terminal so it will run the program in the background and I can continue using terminal?
[10:14] <Jowi> Hoagie, then the driver is not loaded probably. hang on
[10:14] <yaloki> Kengur: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:14] <bluefox83> Kengur, man grub, find the file you need to change..think it's in /boot/grub/
[10:14] <Kengur> thanks
[10:15] <dot_j> wilee85: command &
[10:15] <sgirc> sewoyl: Sorry I was disconnected I just want to safely unplug my usb modem so that next time I plug it, it is automatically recognized
[10:17] <Kengur> anyone here actually from development or release team?
[10:17] <Kengur> well um.. i guess i am =)
[10:17] <sn9> Kengur: sometimes they are, but not usually
[10:18] <Majic> Nope, just a bunch of people who helped develop it. :p
[10:18] <yaloki> Pelo: why, no ubuntu packagers around here ?
[10:18] <bill-barriere> ?
[10:18] <bill-barriere> what a weird distro
[10:18] <yaloki> Majic: you're an apt committer ?
[10:18] <Majic> 0.o  No...
[10:19] <qman|A64> well, I finally got things working
[10:19] <sewoyl> sgirc: sorry I dont know anything about usb modems
[10:19] <Kengur> Pelo: i just think i might have a point that is useful to consider... i used to spend a while myself to resolve it
[10:19] <Pelo> bill-barriere,  what is so weird about it ?
[10:19] <qman|A64> it's formatting the drive partitions right now
[10:19] <Jowi> Hoagie, see what you can get from this page: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ (follow the instructions and see if you can find your modem in the list)
[10:19] <Pelo> Kengur,   that's what the forum is for
[10:20] <sn9> sgirc: you have a usb modem? my, how i don't envy you...
[10:20] <Hoagie> Jowi: Thanks a billion. I've really gotta go offline now, but I'll bookmark it.
[10:20] <Kengur> Pelo: but it would be nice to switch this on by "default"
[10:20] <DreamerHxC> I have problems with my ATI card, sometimes I can boot in graphic mode, sometimes I cannot. I have just entered in graphic mode and I have pasted my xorg.conf, Xor.0.log and my glxinfo, can somebody help me please?
[10:20] <Jowi> np Hoagie I hope it sort itself
[10:20] <dts> I just tried to plug in my ipod and it shows up on the computer, but if i try to click on it i get mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /media/usbdisk busy
[10:20] <Hoagie> Jowi: Cheerio!
[10:20] <dts> eventhough it's not mounted anywhere
[10:20] <sgirc> sn9: I consider myself lucky coz I found drivers...
[10:21] <sn9> sgirc: linuxant?
[10:21] <sgirc> no connexant
[10:21] <sgirc> accessrunner
[10:21] <qman|A64> I need to break down and buy some more memory for that thing...the live environment runs like absolute crap on 256MB, I had to turn on the swap partition to get it to be responsive
[10:21] <whta> I'm still having trouble figuring out how to mount a drive i have =\
[10:21] <sn9> sgirc: oh, cable. i thought you were talking about usb dial-up
[10:21] <Kengur> Pelo: in previous version of kernel by SATA drive (no raid) worked fine, and now it doesn't untill i use "noapic", nForce4 is pretty widely used for that matter...
[10:22] <sgirc> sn9: yes ADSL
[10:22] <Pelo> emilia,  menu  applications > add/remove , search for fax
[10:22] <Kengur> Pelo: nobody actually gave me any clues about this
[10:22] <Pelo> Kengur,  I can'T help you
[10:22] <sethk> whta, what kind of drive, file system, etc?
[10:22] <sn9> sgirc: adsl isn't as big a deal, unless you're on pppoa or something
[10:23] <sethk> Kengur, if it works with noapic, then what's the problem?
[10:23] <GhoSt_DoG> Hi, how i install codecs ?
[10:23] <sgirc> sn9: I'm  on pppoa
[10:23] <GhoSt_DoG> sudo apt-get install w32codecs ?
[10:23] <MitchM> since my install of 6.10 sudo no-longer requires the password after the "first" time a user correctly enters a password. How can I change this?
[10:23] <whta> sethk: regular ol' IDE HD, ntfs but I only need it for reading files anyway
[10:23] <MitchM> /etc/sudoers does not seem to be the problem
[10:23] <sn9> !w32codecs | GhoSt_DoG
[10:23] <ubotu> GhoSt_DoG: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:23] <sgirc> sn9: ADSL line is up
[10:23] <Cpudan80> Hello everyone
[10:23] <sethk> MitchM, visudo, get rid of the NOPASSWD modifier(s)
[10:23] <Cpudan80> Where can I find an Ubuntu DVD?
[10:23] <MitchM> sethk, none there.
[10:24] <Pelo> Cpudan80,   easiest way is  torrents
[10:24] <Cpudan80> ubuntu.com offers up a single CD --- but I have a feeling that isn't the whole thing
[10:24] <fabiim> good lightweight laptop for linux , not powerfuul graphics , lots of  ram , small disk ,  where to find ?
[10:24] <qman|A64> whta: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/disk (assuming hda1 is it and /mnt/disk is where you want it)
[10:24] <MitchM> sethk, Doesnt seem to be a problem with /etc/sudoers
[10:24] <Kengur> sethk: I'm quite a newb myself, but there might be other people who are even more newbies than myself =) they might not get this sorted out
[10:24] <sgirc> sn9: and I configured a ppp interface, but when lanching pppd I get an error in my logs
[10:24] <whta> thanks qman, i'll try it out
[10:24] <MitchM> After sudo'ing the file sudo_as_admin_successful is left in the $HOME dir
[10:24] <MitchM> but removing it also does not make them type the passwd again
[10:24] <sethk> MitchM, I'd get rid of sudo altogtether, the way ubuntu sets it up it's a huge security hole.  set the root password, remove all sudo permissions.
[10:25] <MitchM> sethk, I have one user that needs sudo access.
[10:25] <sethk> MitchM, ok
[10:25] <gouki> sethk: Why is it a security problem, the way the sudo is configured?
[10:25] <sethk> MitchM, let me see if there is a global configuration for that
[10:25] <MitchM> sethk, without _all_ of the root privleges.
[10:25] <sethk> MitchM, ok, let me see if there is any global config
[10:25] <qman|A64> actually, sudo is meant to improve security...just configure the sudoers file with visudo
[10:25] <sn9> sgirc: i knew someone who used mandrake because it had out-of-the-box support for pppoa adsl over usb, but he hated mandrake. i had him try ubuntu, and he loved it, but he did have to buy a different adsl modem
[10:25] <sethk> gouki, one password allowing you to do _everything_?  and not even an admin password?  ugh.
[10:25] <Kengur> sethk: might be a good option to turn this on by default if the system has nforce and sata drive
[10:26] <sethk> Kengur, I don't disagree
[10:26] <whta> qman: Says the mount point does not exist
[10:26] <MitchM> in /etc/pam.d/sudo it had two include lines
[10:26] <qman|A64> whta: you must create a folder to mount it to
[10:26] <MitchM> but i do not know if those are the cuplrits or not
[10:26] <MitchM> culprits*
[10:26] <gouki> sethk: If you didn't have sudo, you would need to enter SU mode, which, also let's you do everything. At least with sudo, it's only temporary SU powers
[10:26] <qman|A64> whta: mkdir folder
[10:26] <sethk> MitchM, I'd have to look.  I don't have edgy on this box and I can't get to my edgy box at the moment.
[10:27] <sethk> gouki, not true.  they allow sudo -i
[10:27] <qman|A64> sethk: that's what visudo is for
[10:27] <qman|A64> it allows you to choose who can do what
[10:27] <qman|A64> by default, the first user is allowed full privileges
[10:27] <qman|A64> the whole point of sudo is securing root privileges
[10:27] <sethk> qman|A64, I said the way _ubuntu_ sets it up by default is a huge security hole.  not that it can't be properly configured, that it _isn't_ properly configured
[10:28] <sn9> qman|A64: by default, it goes by group, not user, iirc
[10:28] <sgirc> sn9:there is really no other solution ?
[10:28] <gouki> sethk: You only use sudo -i IF you want it. I'm sure most of the new people don't even know it's possible to do that
[10:28] <tonyyarusso> How do I launch getty/login for ttys greater than 6?
[10:28] <sn9> sethk: nobody has it "properly" configured by default
[10:28] <whta> qman: Now it says "special device hda1" does not exist. I'm not POSITIVE which hda# this drive is, but eh, what do you suggest?
[10:29] <sethk> gouki, hiding a capability is not security
[10:29] <gouki> sethk: IMHO, sudo -i and SU are almost the same thing. While sudo is the safer...
[10:29] <sn9> sgirc: there wasn't then, when 5.04 was the latest release and 5.10 was just about to be
[10:29] <sethk> gouki, no, sudo -i is worse, because it can be configured to not require any password.
[10:29] <sn9> sgirc: i haven't investigated it since
[10:29] <Varjat_by> HI! Is anybody know how to fix problem during LIRC driver compilation process. Error is "/bin/sh: scripts/genksyms/genksyms: No such file or directory"?
[10:30] <PriceChild> How can i get a wiki page to redirect to another one?
[10:30] <yaloki> sethk: arguably, if you don't give the permission to do so in the first place, you can't do that. the problem is rather having that preconfigured for the non-root user by default on ubuntu.
[10:30] <qman|A64> whta: sudo fdisk -l, it will tell you what disks are where
[10:30] <gouki> sethk: Weren't you talking about DEFAULTS? By default, sudo -i REQUIRES password - I'm sure with some hacking, su can be configured to not ask a password either
[10:30] <yaloki> sethk: eh, oh, which is your original point ^^ indeed, I agree ;)
[10:30] <RaiderX> How do you check terminal output?
[10:30] <Pelo> PriceChild,  this is hardly the channel for that question
[10:30] <GhoSt_DoG> how i install codecs for totem ?
[10:30] <Olathe> How do I shut Xorg down ?
[10:30] <sewoyl> RaiderX: output of what?
[10:30] <sn9> GhoSt_DoG: 6.06 or 6.10?
[10:31] <PriceChild> Pelo: I'm sorry, but i'm unsure as to where to ask it
[10:31] <spacebear> same do i wonder...how to reconf xorg and shut it down
[10:31] <sewoyl> Olathe: restart with ctrl alt backspace
[10:31] <Varjat_by> Olathe: ctrl+alt+backspace
[10:31] <Cpudan80> Pelo: I still only see a CD ISO...
[10:31] <RaiderX> sewoyl any program thats running
[10:31] <Cpudan80> Shouldn't it be like 5 CDs?
[10:31] <PriceChild> GhoSt_DoG: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[10:31] <Pelo> PriceChild,  I am sure there is a  #wiki channel somewhere
[10:31] <RaiderX> like when i run something in wine
[10:31] <MitchM> sethk, Found it; timestamp_timeout=0
[10:31] <Jager-> is there a key combo to open the process manager thing.. similar to ctrl+alt+delete?
[10:31] <whta> qman: ok, got it mounted. now how do I make this folder accessible?
[10:31] <sewoyl> RaiderX: usually if you start the programfrom a terminal youll get the output
[10:31] <MitchM> sethk, Had to add that to /etc/sudoers
[10:31] <Pelo> Cpudan80,  try www.torrentz..com
[10:31] <Pelo> www.torrentz.com
[10:31] <sethk> MitchM, amazing, I didn't think they could make the default configuration worse, but they did.
[10:31] <sethk> MitchM, thanks.
[10:31] <RaiderX> ok sewoyl ill try to figure this out
[10:32] <Olathe> I don't want to restart it.
[10:32] <PriceChild> Pelo: maybe docs...
[10:32] <sgirc> sn9: I'm feeling I'm close to make it run! but I think the problem lies in my peers config file. What I need know is the command one must use to disable a usb device (not specifically a modem). In example to unplud a usb drive you type umount /mnt/uba but when its not a storage device how to do that ?
[10:32] <Olathe> I want to stop it.
[10:32] <ryanakca> nolimitsoya: ok, I have firewall script loaded, but I can still ftp to my host... what's going on? (script) http://rkavanagh.homelinux.org/firewall1
[10:32] <sewoyl> RaiderX: for exemple type in gedit in the terminal
[10:32] <ryanakca> Olathe: ctrl-alt-backspace... or ctrl-alt-f1, log in, go "sudo killall Xorg"
[10:32] <MitchM> sethk, :) thank you
[10:32] <mborohov> so im now running Xgl
[10:32] <mborohov> and its working fine
[10:32] <Viroo> hi
[10:32] <mborohov> it just doesnt work with AiGLX apparently
[10:32] <sn9> sgirc: if it's not a storage device, just unplugging is usually good enough
[10:32] <mborohov> yay
[10:32] <Pelo> Cpudan80,  http://bushtorrent.com/torrent.php?id=641043
[10:33] <ryanakca> Olathe: I mean "sudo killall X"
[10:33] <ryanakca> Olathe: might want to go "sudo killall gdm" as well :)
[10:33] <spacebear> in dmesg i find early in log -- Console colour VGA+ 80x25  <---- how do i change that
[10:33] <sgirc> sn9: I do it that way, the next time I plug it,linux doesn't recognize it, untill I reboot
[10:33] <Cpudan80> Pelo: Does the DVD include packages from KDE? Like ehh Konversation?
[10:33] <Cpudan80> Or will I need Kubuntu to get both
[10:33] <sethk> spacebear, change it to what?
[10:33] <tonyyarusso> I don't have X running and would like to create more consoles than the default 6 - how?
[10:33] <Fackamato> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop is better imo
[10:34] <spacebear> so it uses my fullscreen
[10:34] <Pelo> Cpudan80,   probably,  are you looking for kubuntu ? because there are dvd for that to
[10:34] <spacebear> it uses just a square in the middle
[10:34] <sethk> Cpudan80, you can install anything in regular ubuntu that you can install in kubuntu
[10:34] <ryanakca> Fackamato: of course :)
[10:34] <qman|A64> nice, my network card works by default in 6.10
[10:34] <sn9> sgirc: after unplugging, but before replugging, try unloading the driver with rmmod
[10:34] <qman|A64> had to use ndiswrapper before
[10:34] <sethk> spacebear, try adding     vga=ask        to your kernel command line in menu.lst
[10:34] <Cpudan80> Pelo: sethk No -- I like GNOME -- but I do like some of the KDE apps
[10:34] <Cpudan80> Like Konversation
[10:34] <ryanakca> Cpudan80: sudo apt-get install konversation ?
[10:35] <sethk> Cpudan80, I'm a kde user, so I won't argue.  my answer is the same.  you can install any kde program you want.  the package manager will take care of any dependencies
[10:35] <Pelo> Cpudan80, it is probably in there,  it's the dvd it contains all the packages, only the install is for gnome instead or kde
[10:35] <sgirc> sn9: no param ?
[10:35] <spacebear> ok thnx ill try
[10:35] <sn9> sgirc: the name of the module
[10:35] <Cpudan80> Pelo: Ok thanks -- was just wondering
[10:35] <Cpudan80> Suse 10.1 has been misbehaving
[10:35] <Cpudan80> So its getting the axe
[10:35] <whta> qman: when i try to chmod my directory I mounted the disk to, it won't change. it says it's changed to "read-only file system" but I can't get into it
[10:35] <ryanakca> lol
[10:36] <sethk> whta, that has nothing to do with the permissions of the mount point
[10:36] <sethk> whta, you need the options uid= and gid= on the mount command.
[10:36] <Pelo> missbehaving or not it should get the axes just because of the MS deal
[10:36] <bruenig> There is supposed to be a FreeSuse fork
[10:36] <sgirc> sn9: sorry I don't know the name of the usb driver module ...
[10:36] <whta> sethk: hmm, what do i have to do to repair this?
[10:36] <sethk> whta, it's a kludge for handling file systems that don't implement permissions
[10:36] <qman|A64> whta: ntfs can only be mounted read only, write support is unstable
[10:36] <Pelo> bruenig,  there is opensuse
[10:36] <sethk> whta, umount it, and mount it again with the options.
[10:36] <bruenig> opensuse is not the same as this fork
[10:36] <sethk> whta, if it's ntfs, qman has a good point
[10:36] <aka_druid_> bruenig: really? With only free software in it?
[10:37] <bruenig> as it is tied to novell
[10:37] <kishan> how to mount my ntfs hard drive in ubuntu live
[10:37] <kishan> can any one help plese
[10:37] <Kengur> err... i got this http://nice3z.myfinejob.com/node/3 but i can't figure out how to echo into that var with sudo =( says permission denied
[10:37] <sethk> whta, there is ntfs write support that is supposedly safe, but it is much too new to rely on IMO
[10:37] <sn9> sethk: a read-only fs is not a permissions error
[10:37] <sethk> sn9, I didn't say it was
[10:37] <sn9> !ntfs-3g | whta
[10:37] <ubotu> whta: ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[10:37] <whta> sethk: I don't need the write support at the moment so read only is fine
[10:37] <sgirc> sn9: usbcore ?
[10:38] <sethk> whta, hmm, then I must have misunderstood your question.
[10:38] <sn9> sgirc: no, that's all of usb. you want the one specific to your device
[10:38] <kishan> can any one help me to mount the ntfs harddrive when i boot from kubuntu live cd
[10:38] <kuzmaster> hey all
[10:38] <whta> sethl: don't worry. i just need to be able to get into the folder to access the files.. unless i need write support to do that? I don't think I needed it before
[10:38] <cmweb> Does any one know what a good "C++" Compiler is?
[10:38] <kuzmaster> i have a really quick question.......
[10:38] <sethk> whta, anyway, what I was talking about applies to which user can access the files.  even on a read only mount, you may need uid=/gid= to allow the desired user to read the files.
[10:38] <cmweb> I mean where i could get one
[10:39] <sethk> whta, you don't need write support to read.  :)
[10:39] <yaloki> cmweb: a lie
[10:39] <sn9> sethk: umask= is more convenient for that anyway
[10:39] <yaloki> cmweb: gcc-c++
[10:39] <whta> sethk: so what would the command be? what do i put for uid and gid?
[10:39] <kuzmaster> how do i mount a hardrive from the live ubuntu 6.06?
[10:39] <cmweb> :-X
[10:39] <Pelo> cmweb,  check synaptic and try them out
[10:39] <sethk> sn9, I don't think it is, but convenience is a matter of opinion.
[10:39] <cmweb> Why a lie?
[10:39] <kuzmaster> the file system is fat16
[10:39] <bruenig> kuzmaster, sudo mount -t (whatever the filesystem is) /dev/(harddrive name) /mount/point
[10:39] <aka_druid_> bruenig: sounds like a very good idea. When its releasing?
[10:40] <kuzmaster> k thanx...................
[10:40] <cmweb> gcc-c++, is not a package in Synaptic
[10:40] <sethk> whta, at the command prompt, do the "id" command.  it will tell you the user and group IDs
[10:40] <yaloki> cmweb: because C++ is awful in the first place but well..
[10:40] <yaloki> cmweb: dunno what the cryptic name is on ubuntu
[10:40] <ryanakca> I have my firewall script loaded into iptables, but I can still ftp to my host... what's going on? (script) http://rkavanagh.homelinux.org/firewall1
[10:40] <rushdy> cmweb, theres a package build-essential
[10:40] <sn9> cmweb: it's just g++
[10:40] <ryanakca> g++
[10:41] <cmweb> g+++ how original
[10:41] <whta> sethk: will doing this add that awesome hard drive icon onto my desktop too? ;D
[10:41] <Pelo> cmeme,  just seach for  C ++ compiler , don'T search for a specific app
[10:41] <kuzmaster> bruenig: so where you wrote "what ever the file system is" i just replace that with "fat16"?
[10:41] <sgirc> sn9: pppoatm.ko ? does this seems a possible module to remove ?
[10:41] <bruenig> kuzmaster, if it is fat16, then yes. I haven't seen a fat16 filesystem in forever. So make sure that is what it is.
[10:41] <cmweb> TOO many choices what do i pick for the search C++
[10:41] <sethk> whta, I don't think so, no.  I don't bother with icons.
[10:41] <aka_druid_> bruenig: Im very interested. Would you please keep me informed? Or show me a place where we can discuss that
[10:41] <bruenig> aka_druid_, probably just a thought now. Here is the story http://boycottnovell.com/2006/11/22/suse-ubuntu/
[10:42] <sethk> cmweb, build_essential installs the c compiler and I believe the c++ portion as well.
[10:42] <kuzmaster> it is, i just made it fat16 cos i want to install windows 3.1 :)
[10:42] <sethk> cmweb, install it, then if g++ exists, you have it.  otherwise, g++ needs the common part and the C part anyway, so you lose nothing
[10:42] <sn9> sgirc: that one handles the pppoa protocol, but i'm thinking you want the one that drives the usb adsl device itself
[10:43] <cmweb> sethk: What? install what Build _essentials i thought it was just an installation option
[10:43] <aka_druid_> bruenig: I understand. Unfortunately its hard to run thoughts in my computer. I will be glad to help when there is software instead of thoughts
[10:43] <sethk> cmweb, there is a package named "build_essential"   no capital letters, no extra spaces, no s at the end
[10:43] <kuzmaster> !mount
[10:43] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[10:44] <bruenig> aka_druid_, I bet it comes. If ubuntu did what novell did, I would be all for a FreeUbuntu fork. I could certainly see Suse users who think the same
[10:44] <sn9> cmweb: there is a metapackage called "build-essential" (dash, not _) in synaptic
[10:44] <cmweb> sethk: No theirs not i just synaptic it. No results
[10:44] <yaloki> bruenig: well, ubuntu is already a fork
[10:44] <aka_druid_> bruenig: I understand
[10:44] <cmweb> sn9, ive already got build-essential
[10:45] <sethk> cmweb, I might have typed _ instead of -, sorry
[10:45] <sethk> cmweb, do:   which g++
[10:45] <sethk> cmweb, see if it's there
[10:45] <sn9> cmweb: then just add g++. if you want something graphical, try anjuta
[10:45] <cmweb> :-)
[10:46] <cmweb> YAY a gui
[10:46] <sgirc> sn9: to make my system recognize the modem I had to put the firmware file cxacru-fw.bin in /lib/firmware. is it what I need to remove ?
[10:46] <bruenig> yaloki, good point???
[10:46] <sn9> sgirc: no
[10:46] <cmweb> OKedokie im downloain
[10:46] <kingace> hello, once ubuntu is installed, can you add a swap parition?
[10:46] <kingace> *partition
[10:46] <yaloki> bruenig: well it just seems you like forks ^^
[10:46] <bruenig> kingace, you could
[10:46] <qman|A64> kingace: if you have enough space left on the disk to put it on
[10:47] <bruenig> yaloki, no reason to start from scratch when a solid base exists
[10:47] <sgirc> sn9: it's the only thing that is specific to my modem !!
[10:47] <sn9> sgirc: sudo rmmod cxacru
[10:47] <kingace> but how exactly would you do it
[10:47] <yaloki> actually, one could even say ubuntu is a hostile fork
[10:47] <kingace> add the partition and mount it?
[10:47] <kingace> and thats it?
[10:47] <qman|A64> you can do it after anyway, but it gets more complicated if you only have one big partition filling hte disk
[10:47] <yaloki> bruenig: indeed
[10:47] <kingace> qman: no that isnt the situation
[10:47] <bruenig> kingace, you would need to create it. Put an entry in the fstab and that would be it
[10:47] <kingace> alrighty thanks
[10:47] <qman|A64> to use a swap partition, just use 'sudo swapon /dev/hda2' or whatever it is
[10:47] <cmweb> !gamepad
[10:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gamepad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:47] <sgirc> sn9: ok thanks I will try it this right now
[10:48] <aka_druid_> bruenig: you are assuming debian is a solid base, right?
[10:48] <bruenig> aka_druid_, not necessarily. I would just defending the practice of forking. In this case, ubuntu would be a solid base
[10:48] <kuzmaster> what is the command line for copying files from one place to another?
[10:49] <kuzmaster> please?
[10:49] <bruenig> kuzmaster, cp file newfile
[10:49] <cmweb> Ok wile my Compiler is downloading, does any one know how to install a "Game Essentials" Game Pad?
[10:49] <kuzmaster> thanx
[10:49] <aka_druid_> bruenig: based in another solid base, then
[10:49] <aka_druid_> otherwise it woudlnt be solid
[10:49] <kishan> kuzmaster, were you be able mount the hard drive
[10:49] <Morrissey> Ok, I have two questions concerning beryl. 1. Can I make windows only show on the desktop they are opened it on the taskbar? So if "xchat" is on one desktop, it doesnt appear on other. 2. how can I disable transperancy (Since its slowing my computer). In advance, thanks
[10:49] <Pelo> kuzmaster, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[10:49] <kuzmaster> so... cp (old location) (new location)
[10:49] <kuzmaster> thanx pelo
[10:49] <bruenig> debian is fairly solid at least abstractly. The debs and the repos and whatnot.
[10:49] <sn9> cmweb: it might just work if you just plug it in
[10:50] <cmweb> sn(, i just did and the stuff aint working. It has a mouse and i pressed the button for the mouse and it wont move
[10:50] <uyann> I'm in installing Java using automatix, and this licence agreement from Sun pops-up.. there is an Ok button that I can't click on... I tried pressing Enter and spacebar.. none of them will let me continue...
[10:51] <bruenig> uyann, you need to use the tab to get to the ok
[10:51] <quicoju> keep getting this error using gpc: gpc error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
[10:51] <bruenig> !automatix | uyann
[10:51] <ubotu> uyann: automatix is is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Since it is often hard to track and solve problems caused by Automatix, you might find it easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:51] <quicoju> any suggetion?
[10:51] <Pelo> uyann,  try tabing to the location
[10:51] <sn9> cmweb: it would probably be seen as a joystick device, not a mouse device
[10:51] <sethk> quicoju, that file is part of the standard C library.  how are you getting that?
[10:51] <Pelo> !works for me > Pelo
[10:51] <cmweb> Sn9, ok il see what i can do
[10:51] <uyann> let me try tabbing
[10:52] <uyann> thank you!!
[10:52] <uyann> it worked!
[10:52] <uyann> :)
[10:52] <quicoju> sethk: trying to compile a program
[10:52] <quicoju> sethk: gpc -g world.pas
[10:52] <ikonia> chaps, is there an application in the ubuntu repo's that can rip the sound off a dvd rom into mp3 format ?
[10:53] <ikonia> I'm not big on multimedia aps
[10:53] <sethk> quicoju, quicoju it's normally in one of the gcc-lib directories
[10:53] <sethk> quicoju, did you install the build-essential package?
[10:53] <sn9> ikonia: try dvdrip
[10:54] <Asc> Is there any way to back up the file/directory structure of a filesystem (FAT) so that it can be restored in the case of corruption?
[10:54] <Rumpanzle> Q: I can log into a termina with my name/password containing a german letter (), whereas I can't use that same password for the desktoplogin anymore. that is after reinstalling grub after installing windows...if I press the "" it shows as nothing, remember the terminal let me log in?!
[10:54] <Pelo> ikonia,  maybe sound juicer can do it
[10:54] <ikonia> sn9, doesn't that rip the whole movie
[10:54] <bruenig> !backup | Asc
[10:54] <ubotu> Asc: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !cloning
[10:54] <quicoju> sethk: i don't what is that package
[10:54] <ikonia> Pelo, thats an interesting thought
[10:54] <sn9> ikonia: you can cut it up later
[10:54] <sethk> quicoju, it's a metapackage that installs the stuff typically needed to build software from source
[10:54] <sethk> quicoju, install it.  It should take care of crt1.o.
[10:54] <ikonia> sn9 ok
[10:55] <quicoju> sethk: ok! thanks :)
[10:55] <sethk> quicoju, it could be a path issue also, but try build-essential first.
[10:56] <Legendre> having some wifi wierdness.. it works fine and all.. but I can only contact machines on the internet.. can't contact any hosts on the LAN
[10:56] <cmweb> SN9, is their a configuration for a joystick type thing? i cant find anything that will allow me to configure it
[10:56] <Legendre> is this some security setting?
[10:56] <maghat> Legendre: That problem is most likely related to your LAN mask or router setup
[10:57] <Legendre> maghat security settings on the router side?
[10:57] <maghat> Legendre: *or* firewall
[10:57] <sn9> cmweb: i think there might be a pkg to install for that, but i don't remember what it is
[10:57] <sethk> Legendre, you mean you can't connect to other wireless machines?  Or wired machines on the lan which the AP connects to?
[10:57] <Legendre> maghat well, this is just a fairly plain Edgy install on a thinkpad
[10:57] <maghat> Legendre: maybe ... can you ping a LAN address from the command line?
[10:57] <Legendre> sethk - can't connect to other wired machines.
[10:57] <cmweb> sn9, i got to wait then im installing another thing
[10:58] <gansinho> hello ppl, I would like to know why the new amarok isn't in repos?
[10:58] <Legendre> maghat can only ping the router/gateay
[10:58] <sethk> Legendre, the default route has to be correct, or you wouldn't reach the internet either
[10:58] <Pelo> is these some default /hidden firewall that install with ubu 6.10,  I'm getting a message from frostwire that I am firewalled ?  but not from anything else
[10:58] <Asc> bruenig: Those links all appear to be related to backing up files, correct me if I'm wrong.
[10:58] <bruenig> gansinho, no one in here controls the repos. What version are you looking for?
[10:58] <sethk> Legendre, that actually sounds like the netmask in the AP may be wrong (the netmask of the ap connection to the wired network).  although that's odd, also, since internet traffic also passes through it.
[10:58] <bruenig> Asc, if you backup all the files of a disc, would that not be backing up a disc?
[10:59] <sethk> Legendre, try a traceroute to one of the machines you can't reach, see where it dies.
[10:59] <Jowi> no Pelo there are nothing blocking unless you installed a firewall yourself
[10:59] <sn9> cmweb: btw, anjuta would still need g++ to handle c++ rather than just c
[10:59] <Pelo> Jowi,  thanks
[10:59] <Legendre> sethk - and also odd, since they are one in the same.. netgear wireless/wired router
[10:59] <sethk> Asc, I've never seen a structural dump of FAT
[10:59] <Legendre> sethk - ok will do. One other piece of info, tho..
[10:59] <sethk> Asc, it might be possible.  it's a windows file system, so it's perfectly possible that it's possible to dump it, and I don't know about it.
[10:59] <Jowi> Pelo, if you're using a router try opening/redirecting the correct ports
[10:59] <gansinho> bruenig, 1.4.4
[10:59] <whta> sethk, could you run that mount command by me one more time? with the uid and gid?
[11:00] <sethk> Legendre, oh, that's a bit different
[11:00] <Asc> bruenig: The trouble is that the disk I want to back up is 25 times larger than the other disk I have handy, which makes copying the files themselves infeasable.
[11:00] <Legendre> sethk - ubuntu thinks that this machine is connected with a wire :)
[11:00] <bruenig> Asc, ah, well I just triggered the factoid
[11:00] <sethk> whta, if you are doing, say:   mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/something, you would do:  mount -t ntfs -o 'uid=500,gid=500' /dev/hda1 /mnt/something
[11:00] <Pelo> Jowi,  thanks but no router,  just a plain dsl bridge modem, if there is anything it's software related,  probably a frostwire bug ,  I can still ul/dl  but it's just annoying to see that icon
[11:00] <sethk> whta, of course 500 is an example, you have to use the correct numbers.  :)
[11:00] <maghat> Legendre: have you stopped the eth0 device in networking config?
[11:01] <Asc> sethk: I'll look into that.
[11:01] <whta> ok thanks sethk
[11:01] <sethk> Legendre, is the box wired into the ap also?
[11:01] <Jowi> Pelo, ah, hehe, yeah if you can dl/ul there is nothing blocking the traffic :)
[11:01] <sethk> Legendre, I assumed it's a wireless connection to the ap
[11:01] <Pelo> Jowi,  it is very slow ...
[11:01] <Legendre> this is a laptop, just wifi
[11:01] <Legendre> but the network config shows the wifi to be disabled and not configured
[11:01] <bruenig> gansinho, http://www.debianadmin.com/install-amarok-144-music-player-in-ubuntu-edgy.html
[11:02] <maghat> Legendre: almost every laptop has a LAN port :D
[11:02] <sethk> Legendre, almost all laptops also have a wired LAN port
[11:02] <sethk> Legendre, in fact, it's been years since I've seen one that doesn't.
[11:02] <Legendre> sethk - it has a wired lan port.. but it's not in use
[11:02] <whta> thanks sethk, got it working
[11:02] <Legendre> ubuntu thinks it is..
[11:02] <josorio> hola...
[11:02] <sethk> whta, excellent.
[11:02] <sethk> Legendre, does  ifconfig   show that you have an eth0 configured with your ip?
[11:03] <sethk> Legendre, because if ubuntu thinks it is talking to a wired port, then it is.
[11:03] <Legendre> sethk - no, it shows eth1 configured.
[11:03] <Legendre> both eth0 and eth1 show up in the LAN stuff, nothng in wireless
[11:03] <Jowi> Legendre, install network-manager-gnome. logout and login again and see what the network manager say. you will also be able to see the available connections and what you're connected to at the moment.
[11:04] <Zlax> hi!!!

[11:04] <yaloki> mmisiek3: trolling ?
[11:04] <sethk> sounds like there are two wired ports.  perhaps one in the laptop and another in a docking station?
[11:04] <sgbuntu> hi
[11:05] <Jowi> Legendre, no idea. just installed it myself to get my intel mac mini wireless to work. just to see if it works or not. not using it myself :)
[11:05] <yaloki> ah, "scrolling" ^^
[11:05] <mmisiek3> yes
[11:05] <quicoju> sethk: it worked thanks! :)
[11:05] <Jowi> Legendre, i do not think it is installed by default though
[11:05] <sethk> quicoju, excellent.
[11:05] <Legendre> Jowi - well, my wifi works.. in an odd way.

[11:06] <sn9> mirak: what are you trying to do?
[11:06] <whta> anyone happen to know the exact path to my firefox profile folder?
[11:06] <Jowi> Legendre, network-manager-gnome will give you a clear view of what is going on
[11:06] <sethk> mirak, that's a dynamic port, it will only exist when whatever device it corresponds to is connected and powered up.

[11:16] <hikenboot> hello all--question anyone know wherer dhcpd and bind log their errors to?
[11:16] <mirak> sn9: setserial gives you at least information about the port
[11:16] <sn9> mirak: but they're not usb
[11:16] <mirak> sn9: I need them anyway
[11:16] <sethk> mirak, it may not use the same UART chip, so the fact that it responds differently is not definitive
[11:17] <sethk> mirak, I wish I had it here so I could try it for you, but I don't
[11:17] <sc0tty> hello
[11:17] <sn9> there is no uart in a PL2303

[11:18] <sethk> redDEADresolve, then do:   diff outputfile outputfile2
[11:18] <sc0tty> how can I add a new HD ?
[11:18] <mirak> sn9: so how do i use it ?
[11:18] <mirak> sn9: for exemple with lirc
[11:18] <mirak> sn9: I also want to plug a infinty usb phoenix on it
[11:18] <sethk> that may show you a module that needs to be inserted.  it might show you a bunch, and it may not help, but it may help.
[11:18] <sethk> redDEADresolve, it almost surely is a kernel module that needs to be loaded, or possibly needs to be built and then loaded.
[11:18] <redDEADresolve> sethk how would i boot into dapper use a live CD?
[11:19] <noomz> Excuse me, Why I can start Xgl from gdm but not from gdm.conf-custom?
[11:19] <sethk> redDEADresolve, that's one way.  I was assuming you still have your dapper installation available
[11:19] <sn9> mirak: you have an IR dongle attached to a usb serial adapter? i'm not sure it's even possible for that to work on any OS
[11:19] <redDEADresolve> no clean 6.10 install
[11:20] <sethk> sc0tty, the way it works in earlier versions still works, even if there are additional configuration methods.
[11:20] <sethk> redDEADresolve, too bad.
[11:20] <sc0tty> ok thanks :)
[11:20] <sgirc> sn9: now that I know how to unplug my usb modem I can switch between my native windows connection and try to make it run from my vmware loaded ubuntu
[11:20] <cmweb> Can some one help me with anjuta?
[11:20] <sethk> redDEADresolve, booting the live cd is a reasonable thing to do, if the thing is accessible that way.
[11:20] <sethk> cmweb, possibly, depends on what problem you are having.
[11:21] <sgirc> sn9:could you be kind enough to help me to set my connection ?
[11:21] <cmweb> yeah i guess. How do i set the executable file for my progect
[11:21] <Zlax> :(
[11:21] <rodox> can anyone help me to install a TTF font in ubuntu?
[11:21] <Zlax> ;(
[11:21] <redDEADresolve> sethk it is i have it right next to me, but when i run lsmod > outputfile2 i get nothin in edgy
[11:21] <sgirc> sn9: logs are here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33749/
[11:21] <Zlax> :'(
[11:22] <mirak> sn9: well I would like to do that, but if it's not possible I can plug my other device on it
[11:22] <jared_> how can i get the bookmarks imported from a bookmark.html   into mozilla
[11:22] <sethk> might need sudo
[11:22] <sethk> redDEADresolve, leave off the > outputfile2 part, then you'll see what the output of lsmod is.  see if it's an error message.
[11:23] <Marlun> When I try to install Ubuntu 6.10 on my laptop I get "* Checking file systems..." and then "fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)" and then nothing happends.
[11:23] <sethk> redDEADresolve, try sudo lsmod      I don't have an edgy machine at my fingertips here.  you don't need sudo for lsmod on any other linux variant I've tried, but ...
[11:23] <sn9> mirak: most devices, unless they're really high-speed, should just work by being plugged in; no setserial involved. the command that sets the port settings is stty
[11:23] <redDEADresolve> sethk it worked
[11:23] <sethk> Marlun, are you sure?  is the disk activity light on?
[11:23] <sgirc> does somebody know how to restore the default file /etc/ppp/options ?
[11:24] <Marlun> sethk: nope.
[11:24] <sethk> Marlun, is the system dead?  does the caps lock light work?
[11:24] <fabien> join #ubuntu-fr
[11:25] <sethk> cmweb, sorry, did you get an answer to your anjunta question
[11:25] <sethfelder> hello peoples!
[11:25] <cmweb> sethk, no
[11:25] <sethk> Marlun, that's nasty.  is this a system that used to work?
[11:25] <sgirc> rseth: hello
[11:25] <sethfelder> eek, i cant believe i said that
[11:25] <sethk> cmweb, what was the question?  I was away for a few minutes.
[11:25] <Marlun> sethk: when I hit caps-lock theres no light coming on.
[11:26] <mirak> sn9: so what I must do is plug the device to the cable, and then  plug the cable ?
[11:26] <sn9> sgirc: it looks like you're trying to use br2684 and pppoa at the same time. i could be wrong, but i don't think that would work
[11:26] <Marlun> sethk: only with Windows, first time I've tried to install linux.
[11:26] <cmweb> sethk, I keep getting an error saying that the progrect has no executable output how do i fix this
[11:26] <sethfelder> can someone please go through step-by-step on how to mount a drive in ubuntu  live CD?
[11:26] <sethfelder> PLEASE!?!?!?
[11:26] <sethk> Marlun, try adding   ide=nodma to the kernel command line
[11:26] <sn9> mirak: just run whatever software communicates with the serial device
[11:26] <Marlun> sethk: I also get "mount: Function not implemented" before the "checking file systems..."
[11:26] <Ick> how do i get libdvdcss to work?
[11:27] <sn9> !dvd | Ick
[11:27] <ubotu> Ick: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:27] <sethk> Marlun, what file system type did you use for the root file system?
[11:27] <sethk> sethfelder, an IDE drive?
[11:27] <mirak> stty --file /dev/ttyUSB0               speed 9600 baud; line = 0;  -brkint -imaxbel
[11:27] <sethfelder> yeah
[11:27] <mirak> sn9:
[11:27] <Marlun> sethk: and before the "mount: ..." there are a "* Activating swap...".
[11:27] <sethk> cmweb, have you created a project?
[11:27] <sethfelder> im pretty sure it is
[11:27] <sethfelder> im doing it in vmware...........
[11:28] <sethk> sethfelder, I'll give you an example; you can adjust the numbers.   mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/something
[11:28] <sethfelder> ok, thanx
[11:28] <sethk> sethfelder, /mnt/something is any directory, -t ext3 is just a guess at the file system type
[11:28] <Marlun> sethk: Right now I've got Windows installed on a NTFS partition, and I've got another NTFS partition which I was going to install linux on but I never get that far.
[11:28] <mirak> sn9: at least when I used plugued the phoneix card reader the connection was happening
[11:28] <sethk> sethfelder, and /dev/hda1 assumes first partition on first ide drive.
[11:28] <sn9> mirak: i forget the exact syntax, but that doesn't look familiar
[11:28] <sethfelder> k
[11:28] <sethk> Marlun, so you are running the installer?  You've lost me, I thought it died on an fsck.  am I confusing two people?
[11:28] <sethfelder> ill give it a try.....
[11:29] <sethk> mirak, you probably need sudo to change the port configuration
[11:29] <Zlax> I got problem with desktop resolution.
[11:29] <Zlax> I installed nvidia drivers and they are working correctly ( tested in cedega, played Warcraft III :) )
[11:29] <Zlax> but for desktop resolutions i was offered only 3 resolutions with 60Hz refresh
[11:29] <Zlax> i have 21 inch monitor capable of displaying 1600x1024 at 100Hz (in windows)
[11:29] <Zlax> i edited xorg.conf to add Modelline generated online and added that resolution
[11:29] <Zlax> to Screens section for 24 bit color depth.
[11:29] <Zlax> Problem is that i can select 1600x1024 but at 50Hz which displays incorrect ( much darker image )
[11:29] <sgirc> sn9: before I change config files /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/peers-pppoa the log was different. there a little more line saying that a conextion is being initiated. Do u know how I can restore these files so that I can try again. Idont emember exactly which paameters I modified
[11:29] <cmweb> sethk, sorry yes i have
[11:29] <Moosejaw> do i have to install ndiswrapper from a specific place for it to install correctly?  Currently I am compiling the source and installing from Desktop but it doesnt seem to be working
[11:29] <gnomefreak> Zlax: please use pastebin
[11:29] <Moosejaw> i have also tried to do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper but i get a cannot locate E: error
[11:30] <Zlax> can someone help? (sorry for spam)
[11:30] <gnomefreak> !pastebin | Zlax

[11:30] <anto9us> *ding dong* This is a public announcement. The Ubuntuest and geekiest of quizziest quizzes is about to start in #ubuntu-tivia. Commences in approximately 2 minutes time. Be there or be square! *dong ding*
[11:30] <sn9> sgirc: did you make a backup?
[11:30] <TokenBad> whats best way to install nvidia drivers for dapper?
[11:30] <sgirc> sn9: unfortunately no :(
[11:30] <sethk> Marlun, now I'm completely confused, because you wouldn't be doing a mount unless the install was completed and you were trying to boot the o/s.
[11:30] <gnomefreak> TokenBad: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:30] <Zlax> tokenbad: via envy for 6.10
[11:30] <sethk> cmweb, try bringing up the project settings, and look for a place to set the output exe name.
[11:30] <sethfelder> sethk: when doing to above, i get this "mount: mount point /mnt/somthing does not exist"
[11:30] <sethfelder> i probably did somthing really stupid
[11:31] <sethfelder> and obvidous
[11:31] <sethk> sethfelder, that's why I said "/mnt/something is any directory"
[11:31] <sn9> sgirc: well, at least you saw what was there -- i didn't. so you're in a better position to know how to fix it than i am
[11:31] <sethfelder> ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[11:31] <sethk> sethfelder, just create a directory to mount it on
[11:31] <sethfelder> so i need to make it first?
[11:31] <jared_> hey i have a buddy that wants to make a car stereo linux mp3 video player and possibly do a gps    i was thinking to load up server eddition and then get a program or two to run this...   any sugestions?
[11:31] <anton_> sethfelder: you have to create it
[11:31] <sethfelder> k
[11:31] <sethk> sethfelder, right
[11:31] <Moosejaw> after doing a make install of the ndiswrapper source i still get an error that ndiswrapper not found...can someone please help me?
[11:31] <sethk> sethfelder, doesn't have to be in /mnt, although that's typically where one puts it.
[11:31] <cmweb> sethk, this is what i get The target executable does not exist for this Project
[11:31] <anton_> sethfelder: you can, of course, mount it anywhere you like. i wouldn't advise you try /bin, however
[11:31] <Marlun> sethk: no, I put in the CD and when the menu comes I choos "Run or install Ubuntu" (or something like that) the progress bar apears, after a while I get these messages: "* Activating swap..." "mount: Function not implemented" "* Checking file system..." "fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)".
[11:32] <sethk> cmweb, well, it wouldn't, until you build it.  let me see if I have anjuta on this box.
[11:32] <anto9us> make that #ubuntu-trivia folks, sorry for any inconvenience this error may have caused :P
[11:32] <sethk> Marlun, oh, ok.
[11:32] <Nlytn_> hi - my system is having serious conflicts with the edgy 2.6.17 kernel - is there someway i can downgrade using a repositary, say to 2.6.10 or so?
[11:32] <sethk> Marlun, sounds like either (1) a bad download, check the md5sum of the downloaded file, (2) a bad burn, or (3) try the text mode install if neither 1 or 2 is true
[11:32] <mirak> sethk: I am always in root
[11:32] <mirak> sethk: in fact I log on gnome with root
[11:33] <mirak> sethk: I am kidding
[11:33] <sethk> mirak, good.
[11:33] <sethk> mirak, I think not setting the root password is dumb, but logging in as root is even dumber  :)
[11:33] <sethk> mirak, I'll install anjuta here, hold on.
[11:33] <anton_> question for the people using edgy: how many updates do you tend to get each week?
[11:34] <timo90> not many
[11:34] <timo90> about 2
[11:34] <lufis> How do I check an ext3 filesystem for corruption?
[11:34] <sethfelder> grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[11:34] <anton_> me neither. when i was using drake, i got about 10 updates a day (well, it felt like it)
[11:34] <sethfelder> it keeps comming up with tthe usage
[11:34] <timo90> i KNOW
[11:34] <Marlun> sethk: I ran the "Check CD for defects" and it found no checksum errors.
[11:34] <timo90> its stable thou rifght
[11:34] <sethk> Marlun, check cd doesn't do checksums
[11:35] <sethk> Marlun, check cd only makes sure that every sector is readable without an error
[11:35] <Zlax> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33752/
[11:35] <sethk> Marlun, but it does eliminate #2 (bad burn), almost certainly.
[11:35] <anton_> sethk: i thought it calculated an md5sum of all packages and compared them to the list
[11:35] <TokenBad> gnomefreak, but what about making sure its activated
[11:35] <sethk> anton_, I don't think so, because you can change the cd and it doesn't complain
[11:35] <timo90> anton:it does
[11:35] <sethfelder> !mount
[11:35] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[11:35] <sethk> anton_, unless it's been changed recently.
[11:35] <gnomefreak> TokenBad: change the driver to nvidia and restart X
[11:35] <sethfelder> !about
[11:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about about - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:36] <sethfelder> !ubotu
[11:36] <lufis> I think my filesystem might have been corrupted. Is there a way to check for errors? do I need to do it from a livecd?
[11:36] <Marlun> sethk: ok, where on the ubuntu site can I see what the checksum md5sum should be?
[11:36] <sethfelder> !ubotu
[11:36] <anton_> sethk: you seem to have spent more time with it than i have :)
[11:36] <sethk> Marlun, usually there is a file in the same directory, either one for each download file, or one for the entire directory, with the md5 sums.
[11:36] <sethk> anton_, I could be wrong.
[11:36] <Zlax> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33752/
[11:37] <anton_> sethk: i doubt it :)
[11:37] <Hexidigital> how can i create a script at boot that needs to be run by root?
[11:37] <sethk> Marlun, hopefully it is fairly evident.  if you can't find it, tell us the url and we'll look.
[11:38] <sethk> Hexidigital, do you really mean create the script at boot?  or do you mean create a script that will run at boot?
[11:38] <Hexidigital> sethk: yes, the latter :)
[11:38] <Marlun> sethk: found it :)
[11:38] <Hexidigital> sethk: i can easily create a script when i boot
[11:38] <sethk> Marlun, good.  probably will match, but it's easy to check, so check it.
[11:38] <solo> im sorry but, originall from gentoo here...       trying to install ndiswrapper for my WLAN card   BCM4318 ( a pain) and when making ndiswrapper   i get a stdlib.h no file or dir found,    well obiously im missing somthing   but what,  ??  and remember no net on that machine, (got to boot to xp partition to download and xfer files)
[11:38] <sethk> Hexidigital, just chown root:root scriptname
[11:38] <anton_> Hexidigital: if i remember correctly, any script you put in one of the /etc/rcx.d directories will be run at boot with root rights
[11:38] <sethk> Hexidigital, with sudo, if you aren't root when you run the chown
[11:39] <Nlytn_> my system if having serious conflicts with the 2.6.17 edgy kernel, is there a way to downgrade without recompiling a new kernel (crash before it completes), ie an older kernel in a repository?
[11:39] <sn9> solo: you don't need ndsiwrapper for that
[11:39] <Hexidigital> sethk, anton_ :: thanks
[11:39] <sethk> anton_, that's true, providing root has x privilege for the file.  doing a chown ensures that it does.
[11:39] <Zlax> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33752/ please take a look :'(
[11:40] <sn9> solo: use the bcm43xx-fwcutter, and the rest will work automagically
[11:40] <solo> ok
[11:40] <solo> thank you :)
[11:40] <solo> a yr ago BCM drivers on linux was a ******$%@%!@%!$#! of a time
[11:40] <solo> lol\
[11:40] <anton_> mon dieu. my firefox has just crashed again. this is getting annoying.
[11:41] <sethk> anton_, is the crash related to any particular plug in?
[11:41] <sgirc> sn9: I found the error message I had in my browser history. "LCP: Timeout Sending Config-Request". Does this make sense for you ?
[11:41] <Hexidigital> ubotu: paste
[11:41] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:41] <sn9> solo: you haven't tried in a whole year???
[11:41] <Hexidigital> sorry, that was meant for me... i forgot /msg
[11:41] <sethk> anton_, i've heard some talk about one of the plugins (not flash, but something of that sort) causing frequent crashes.
[11:41] <solo> sn9 how do i start the bcm cutter ,   site says its included in my kernel
[11:41] <anton_> sethk: difficult to say. i think it's because i haven't got a clue what i'm doing with firefox :)
[11:42] <sn9> sgirc: that's part of the ppp handshaking
[11:42] <sethk> anton_, I get crashes with ff 2, but not all that frequently.
[11:42] <Nlytn_> my system if having serious conflicts with the 2.6.17 edgy kernel, is there a way to downgrade without recompiling a new kernel (crash before it completes), ie an older kernel in a repository? anyone please? :(
[11:42] <Zlax> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33752/
[11:42] <micktm> hi!!
[11:42] <Marlun> sethk: yes it did match.
[11:42] <Zlax> hi
[11:42] <bruenig> anton_, try moving the plugins, then running firefox. If it doesn't crash, you can conclude it is one of the plugins.
[11:42] <micktm> In filenames I can't use chars such as ...
[11:42] <Marlun> sethk: how do I test the text mode install?
[11:42] <sethk> Marlun, ok.  I would try the text mode install next.  unfortunately, it's on the alternate cd.
[11:42] <sn9> solo: no, the driver is included in the kernel. the fwcutter is a separate pkg
[11:42] <micktm> how can i solve this problem?
[11:42] <anton_> sethk: bruenig: it doesn't really bother me atm. and these are the first plugins i've ever installed :)
[11:42] <solo> ok so just install fwcutter and i should b ok?
[11:42] <bruenig> anton_, or you can do the same for extensions. I had a bad cocktail of extensions cause firefox to crash everytime I opened
[11:42] <sn9> solo: yup
[11:43] <Dex-Freudii> how is "ubuntu" pronunced?
[11:43] <bruenig> oooooo - bunt - oooooo
[11:43] <sn9> solo: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[11:43] <sethk> micktm, what's your LOCALE?  (your language settings?)
[11:43] <TokenBad> gnomefreak,  last time I did that it would crash....
[11:43] <Marlun> sethk: oh, ok, I'll get that then.
[11:43] <micktm> italian
[11:43] <sgirc> sn9: Do you think it is a better posture than the current one ?
[11:44] <gnomefreak> TokenBad: do you have the linux-restricted-modules for your kernel installed?
[11:44] <Zlax> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33752/ please tell me if you dont know how ?
[11:44] <anton_> bruenig: that sounds bad :( if firefox ever gets that bad on me, i'll go back to lynx :)
[11:44] <heanol> anyone know if it's possible to use fglrx in xen?
[11:44] <TokenBad> not right now...just reinstalled....but last time I did
[11:44] <sn9> sgirc: ppp problems, whether dial-up or dsl, are not at all easy to track down
[11:44] <Hexidigital> can someone help me make a script out of this for NAT to start at boot? here is what i need to run http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33753/
[11:44] <bruenig> anton_, all I had to do was delete the .mozilla directory and then it was fine
[11:45] <anton_> bruenig: all i'm trying to do is find a torrent for gentoo... www.gentoo.org is being really slow.
[11:45] <micktm> sethk: italian
[11:45] <Zlax> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33752/
[11:45] <sethk> Hexidigital, all you need to do is create the file (which you already did, it appears), copy it to /etc/init.d, then put links to it at the run levels you want it to run  (as in /etc/rc1.d, )
[11:46] <sethk> micktm, you see all the prompts and messages and such in Italian?
[11:46] <Hexidigital> sethk: do i have to add any #!/bin/bash stuff to it? or leave it as is
[11:46] <Hexidigital> ?
[11:46] <micktm> sethk: yes
[11:46] <wilee85> rogue780, sdumfwgu
[11:46] <rogue780> wilee85, thanks
[11:46] <anton_> bruenig: the .mozilla directory is really useful :) question: i often spend time on lots of different computers and want to keep my internet preferences with me. (passwords, favourite pages etc). does anybody know of an internet service which offers this, or is that a little javascript project for me at some stage?
[11:46] <bruenig> anton_, http://btjunkie.org/torrent?do=download&id=464068ae998b2616f94139345c9d87b5c222bf69bb00.torrent
[11:46] <micktm> sethk: only in filenames I see a question mark instead of
[11:46] <sethk> Hexidigital, the default is #!/bin/sh, so you can leave that line out for shell scripts
[11:46] <TokenBad> hope to brb
[11:46] <bruenig> anton_, that is for dvd though
[11:46] <Hexidigital> sethk: thanks much
[11:46] <sgirc> sn9: ok. I think the best strategy to solve this is to try to get back to the original situation where my system is waiting with the other peer LCP response, and then I will see with my ISP.
[11:47] <sethk> micktm, but in text with accents, you see the correct thing, the letter with the accent?
[11:47] <Hexidigital> be back
[11:47] <anton_> sounds good, bruenig :)
[11:47] <sn9> sgirc: sounds good
[11:47] <micktm> sethk: wait... I never noticed this...
[11:47] <AstuteCat> i'm having trouble starting ubuntu (6.06) on the livecd on my alienware aurora m9700 -- it hangs at startup on 'Starting kernel log' - it does, however, respond to ctrl-alt-delete and reboots, but it never gets to starting X.
[11:48] <Zlax> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33752/
[11:48] <AstuteCat> anyone got any ideas? i'm stumped.
[11:48] <tengo> can someone help me
[11:48] <tengo> emergency
[11:48] <tengo> i just changed the screen resolution
[11:48] <tengo> and now i can't log onto gnome
[11:48] <micktm> sethk: yes, I can see them...
[11:48] <sn9> tengo: does the login screen still come up?
[11:48] <micktm> sethk: but not in latex documents
[11:48] <tengo> sn9 yes
[11:49] <anton_> oh baby, that torrent's flying :)
[11:49] <sethk> micktm, ok.  do this in a directory that has the bad file names:     ls | hexdump -C > outfile
[11:49] <tengo> sn9 but if i put in my usr name and password, after, it just goes back to the logon screen like a loop
[11:49] <sn9> tengo: what error does it give when you try to log in?
[11:49] <sethk> micktm, that creates a file named "outfile" with a dump of the text from ls
[11:49] <Zlax> can someone read what i type??????????
[11:49] <anton_> bruenig: i hope it isn't a link to your /dev/random, the torrent :)

[11:57] <micktm> sethk: there's only that one!
[11:58] <sethk> micktm, ok.  let me check one thing here quickly...
[11:58] <bruenig> navyseal_, mplayer plugins, sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer. You may also need some codecs. I am not positive
[11:58] <ortega10> narrchy: i can't give you a guide, but you can just download the iso image, and burn it with a program like infra burner
[11:58] <navyseal_> bruenig nop
[11:58] <sybariten> fastest FTP server to set up on a headless ubuntu box ?
[11:58] <navyseal_> it doesn't work at all
[11:58] <navyseal_> mplayer loads the video content
[11:58] <navyseal_> but don't plays it
[11:58] <tengo> sn9, i deleted it, but it still goes in a loop
[11:58] <sn9> tengo: hmm
[11:59] <ortega10> i need a good bittorrent client other than azureus (that lately refuses to work properly), any suggestions ?
[11:59] <kevin> try rebooting
[11:59] <narrchy> well
[11:59] <narrchy> ortega
[11:59] <bruenig> navyseal_, it played here. Are you sure you have all the codecs and stuff installed. w32codecs etc.
[11:59] <navyseal_> i think so
[11:59] <navyseal_> :S
[11:59] <sesamebike> hi! I don't understand dd. I'm doing a backup of a harddrive "Disk /dev/hda: 20.4 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>8 bytes" using the live CD and the command "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda1/backup". Problem is that it just keeps going. the backup file is now<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes and increasing (command still running). What am I missing here?
[11:59] <sn9> tengo: that happened to me before, but i don't remember how i fixed it -- but deleting that file was involved
[11:59] <narrchy> my friend and i are trying to burn it and he burned it with Isorecorder as a .iso onto the CD-R and the ysstem is not recognizing it
[11:59] <sethk> micktm, it looks like the filename is correct, and the problem is that it is showing you the ? in the terminal window
[11:59] <solo> ok sn9
[12:00] <sethk> micktm, because the character at that position is hex 2e, and question mark is hex 3f
[12:00] <sybariten> how do i find out if my machine already has an ftp server ?
[12:00] <micktm> it's...
[12:00] <solo> i understand the rep page,    but how am i to download them in a console without a working internet on the machine im workin on, is their a direct download for a massive pkg or what
[12:00] <tengo> sn9, i reverted back to 800x600 and it works
[12:00] <sethk> micktm, you'll notice (if you look) in the hexdump output that it's displayed as "." which means hexdump doesn't know how to display it.
[12:00] <brainsforsale> hey
[12:00] <anton_> sybariten: try it out :)
[12:00] <brainsforsale> i need some help
[12:00] <narrchy> Ortega, you see what I said?
[12:00] <tengo> sn9 any reason why?
[12:00] <brainsforsale> i am completely new to linux
[12:01] <brainsforsale> i have an old custom machine
