[17:52] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337  |  !flashissues
 i have logged on the server but now i can't get to the folder i picked
[17:53] <MauS> I know that there's a way to manually edit X11's config to let two keyboards work, but i'd like them to start working right after i plug them in
[17:53] <danand> Jay955 - Ok so you've logged into your ubuntu machine from windows??
[17:53] <serenityUK> !flashissues
[17:53] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[17:53] <Jay955> yes i have i see the folder i'm trying to get at
[17:54] <XBehave> how can i get latex into kword or OO
[17:54] <MauS> OMG my second keyboard is not connected :lame:
[17:54] <BronxAngel> for the love of God! please somebody tell me of a good gui for sqlite3 databases!
[17:54] <XLV> MauS, now theres an idea, instead of those dvorak style kbs, one could learn to type with both hands on different kbs altogether
 but when i click on the folder it telss me access denied
[17:55] <danand> Jay955 - did you set up your /etc/samba/smb.conf to allow access to that folder for the user you are logged in as??
[17:55] <chris710> how can i install desklets with gdesklets on compiz?
 i'm not sure where would i find it in the file
[17:56] <XBehave> i can get stuff out of a maths program in mathML or latex how can i get into an OO document?
[17:57] <danand> Jay955 - would you like me to pastebin my smb.conf file??
[17:57] <Jay955> sure that may help
[17:58] <BronxAngel> nobody?
[17:58] <danand> Jay955 - Give me 5mins - I'm a little slow!! - what is the pastebin for ubuntu?
[17:58] <XLV> !pastebin
[17:58] <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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[17:58] <pine> BronxAngel, u dont like mysql ?
[17:58] <danand> XLV - Cheers
[18:00] <RootyRootRootW00> Hi can someone help me get my machine to print pdfs? I have followed the online instructions I've found but it's still not working
[18:00] <Rufus_> i've downloaded compiz through the ubuntu repository, how can I activate the wobbly windows and the screen switcher?
[18:00] <BronxAngel> pine: i make love to mysql everyday several times a day. that is my woman. but xbmc uses sqlite. don't worry, mysql already knows i am working with sqlite
[18:00] <crdlb> Rufus_: please join #compiz-fusion
[18:01] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: It tells me there are 185 updates available... should i install them all? :|

[18:02] <danand> Jay955 - Ok, this file works for me. See - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54364/
[18:02] <siddhant> crap. i did a sudo apt-get clean. :( can i recover those packages?
[18:02] <csb0> how do i make sure a particular program runs at boot time? in this case: svnserve.
 ok brb
[18:03] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, yes  there are only a few a week but it has been out since october lol... new Ubuntu is out in April and you can upgrade using the same way and keep ur settings
[18:03] <BronxAngel> pine and for everyone else: sqlite3 under wine looks promosing
[18:03] <cmna> Graphics problem.  Using integrated Intel 915 chipset and KDS Avitron AV-195TF.  XWindows used to operate successfully by default in 1600x1200.  This randomly stopped working and I have been unable to get it working again in anything but 640x480 or 800x600 even with a reinstall.  Usplash screen does still display successfully in 1600x1200 as indicated in usplash.conf.  I have tried manually editing xorg.conf and all online fixes
[18:03] <cmna> to no avail.
[18:03] <csb0> and a related question: if i check with sysvconfig, i don't see anything about iptables loading at boot. is that because iptables is some weird kernel stuff?
[18:03] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, they release a new version every 6 months
[18:04] <danand> siddhant - apt-get clean only clears apts cache - it does not wipe any packages from your system
[18:04] <cmna> This is Ubuntu 7.10
[18:04] <QuickGold> Can someone recommend a good web browser besides Firefox for Ubuntu?
[18:04] <siddhant> danand : i meant that only. i need those .deb files back, if possible
[18:04] <ConstyXIV> does anyone know where I could find a Win2K-like GTK engine?
[18:04] <serenityUK> QuickGold, I use Flock.. it is based on firefox underneath but has a nice new interface and integration with sites like youtube and flickr
[18:05] <danand> siddhant - you may need to download them again :(
[18:05] <BronxAngel> every time i install gutsy i have to update 185 packages. is there a way to make a cd with the update in it?
[18:05] <MauS> Can anyone help me? I've got Kubuntu 7.10 installed on a separate machine. 'sudo route' shows no routes! Why can this be?
[18:05] <QuickGold> serenityUK: Thanks. I'd prefer a web browser not based on the Gecko engine (want to test sites)
[18:05] <siddhant> danand : i have this stupid download limit. :( btw thanx for ur time. :)
[18:06] <BronxAngel> ikonia: you here?
[18:06] <danand> siddhant - are they not on the CD?
[18:06] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> I just booted up my ubuntu system after a power loss which apparently outlasted my UPS and now X is complaining that it can't start due to some "internal error"... i cant press ok, but I can switch to another tty....any ideas?
[18:06] <QuickGold> Can someone recommend a good web browser besides Firefox for Ubuntu?
[18:07] <siddhant> danand - no, i guess.
[18:07] <genii> QuickGold: If text mode counts, Links
[18:07] <QuickGold> genii: Preferably, not Links
[18:07] <serenityUK> QuickGold, the new version of Ephinany has option of choosing WebKit backend instead of Gecko but still beta ready next month i think... If you install Konqueror it has it's own thing but you will need lots of KDE libraries.... also Opera works under Linux
[18:07] <QuickGold> I'm looking for a non-Gecko engine based web browser
[18:07] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: reconfig x in terminal byt going to ctrl+alt+F1
[18:07] <cellofellow> QuickGold: Galeon and Epiphany are both web browsers designed just for GNOME, but both use Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine so pages look exactly the same as Firefox.
[18:08] <danand> Oni-Dracula-  cat  /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
[18:08] <bruenig> grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:08] <XBehave> QuickGold: theres Opera i think or konqueror
[18:08] <QuickGold> serenityUK: is there a how to to make Epiphany use WebKit backend?
[18:08] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: Thanks for your time, im off for dinner now. I may be back in a bit :P
[18:08] <QuickGold> XBehave: Gnome only
[18:08] <danand> Oni-Dracula|lapp - cat  /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE should show you any errors
[18:08] <cellofellow> QuickGold: Opera and Konqueror both like KDE better than Gnome, but they work.
[18:08] <genii> QuickGold: You might get some ideas here http://www.itp.uni-hannover.de/~kreutzm/en/lin_browser.html
[18:08] <BronxAngel> so there is no way to install gutsy with all the updates post first boot?
[18:08] <bruenig> QuickGold, would have to recompile for sure
[18:08] <XBehave> QuickGold: theres also IEs4linux that can be used to test IE
[18:08] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, gl,  check out ubuntuforums.org for help   the absolute beginner section is gret
[18:08] <bruenig> QuickGold, if it is at possible to begin with
[18:09] <QuickGold> thanks for the help
[18:09] <XBehave> Opera and Konqeror are qt based but there shouldnt be any problems running them in gnome the same way that firefox (GTK) runs fine in kde
[18:09] <QuickGold> XBehave: thanks!
[18:09] <cellofellow> WebKit on Linux is still a bit new. Only Konqueror 4 uses it afaik.
[18:10] <QuickGold> Konqueror works on Gnome?
[18:10] <tyrone> hi i am running ubuntu 7.10 nad my sound has always worked fine but suddenly today it stopped working i don't know why I dual-boot with vista and it works fie there
[18:10] <mavi-> the gnome browser has a webkit backend now
[18:10] <XBehave> its new if you dont count the blatent theft of it from kde in the 1st place :P
[18:10] <ConstyXIV> cellofellow, and midori, and the new epiphany
[18:10] <QuickGold> heh
[18:10] <serenityUK> cellofellow, I was reading on Phronix today about gnome 2.22  new version of Epiphany will have the option
[18:10] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> BronxAngel, the reconfigure script hard locked
[18:10] <serenityUK> cellofellow, at the moment you need a compile flag but should be ready soon
[18:10] <cellofellow> ok, cool. WebKit is a good engine, though I still prefer Gecko.
[18:11] <ConstyXIV> i'd <3 to have a fully-working webkit-based GTK browser right now
[18:11] <babo> so if my iso has burned successfully, then when i click on it, i should just see a .iso file and not the setup.exe files etc... right ?
[18:11] <babo> thing is though, I used cdrecord to make the iso .. cdrecord -v dev=4,0,0 Win*.iso
[18:11] <cellofellow> It'd be nice for development testing.
[18:11] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: has x started and you see that error? or is that from a terminal stout?
[18:11] <tyrone> hi i am running ubuntu 7.10 nad my sound has always worked fine but suddenly today it stopped working i don't know why I dual-boot with vista and it works fie there. Can anyone help me please?
[18:11] <cmna> Any idea why Usplash has no problem running in 1600x1200 but I can't get XWindows to run in anything but 640x480?
[18:12] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> BronxAngel, danand, the log shows no errors... the "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" froze on the question on autodetecting video... no input gives and response
[18:12] <HorizonXP> hey, my sudo command just stopped working
[18:12] <TWP-SirStaal> Yo
[18:12] <cellofellow> cmna: they use different drivers, so one doesn't guarentee the other. Leave the framebuffer alone and configure XOrg.
[18:12] <HorizonXP> like if I type sudo apt-get .... it just returns nothing, back to the command prompt
[18:12] <HorizonXP> any help?
[18:12] <TWP-SirStaal> I am trying to get youtube to work but which plug-in should I use?
[18:13] <danand> Oni-Dracula|lapp - :( ??
[18:13] <jpatrick> !flash > TWP-SirStaal
[18:13] <XBehave> cmma Uspalsh uses frambuffer so is unreated check your xorg.conf
[18:13] <cellofellow> HorizonXP: what about `sudo echo I am root`?
[18:13] <TWP-SirStaal> I know flash but which flash is compatible with ubunto?
[18:13] <XBehave> cmna Uspalsh uses frambuffer so is unreated check your xorg.conf
[18:13] <jpatrick> !info flashplugin-nonfree | TWP-SirStaal
[18:13] <ubotu> twp-sirstaal: flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.2+really0ubuntu12 (gutsy), package size 17 kB, installed size 156 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia)
[18:13] <cmna> Can I make X use framebuffer to fix this problem?
[18:13] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> BronxAngel, danand, the (near) exact error is "Could not start the X server (your graphical environment) due to some internal error.  please contact your system administrator or check your syslog to diagnose in the mean time this display will be disabled.  please restart gdm when the problem is corrected"
[18:14] <BronxAngel> oni did you put sudo before dpkg-reconfig?
[18:14] <XBehave> TWP-SirStaal: the way i got it working was a manual install of flash9
[18:14] <HorizonXP> cellofellow: it says i'm not in the sudoers file
[18:14] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> BronxAngel, i did use sudo
[18:14] <cellofellow> cmna: yes, actually, but it's not recommended.
 ok i took a look at it and i have the same thing
[18:14] <XBehave> jpatrick: last time i cheked the package didnt work
[18:14] <jpatrick> XBehave: yep
[18:14] <Rufus_> i have 4 desktops, but I can't switch between them
[18:14] <Rufus_> why not?
[18:14] <cellofellow> HorizonXP: you have to add your user to the 'admin' group. Use recovery mode and then run 'adduser yourname admin' and reboot, you'll be good.
[18:14] <TWP-SirStaal> i will try it out thanks guys.
[18:15] <HorizonXP> cellofellow: yeah, i was messing with gropus, must've messed it up somehow
[18:15] <Jay955> brb will try something
[18:15] <danand> Jay955 - Is the folder you are trying to access "owned" by the user you logged in as??
[18:15] <HorizonXP> thanks
[18:15] <jpatrick> TWP-SirStaal: did you see the private message from ubotu?
[18:15] <BronxAngel> ok, try this! use the live cd to get gnome started, then mount your root partition to /mnt
[18:15] <Jay955> let me check
[18:15] <tyrone> hi i am running ubuntu 7.10 nad my sound has always worked fine but suddenly today it stopped working i don't know why I dual-boot with vista and it works fie there. Can anyone help me please?
[18:15] <TWP-SirStaal> ok cheking it out I will be back if there is another problem
[18:16] <cmna> cellofellow:  what is the alternate solution?  I have been unable to get X to work in any other resolution, either by using the configuration tools or by manually editing xorg.conf.
[18:16] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: ok, try this! use the live cd to get gnome started, then mount your root partition to /mnt. then chroot into /mnt and ren dpkg-reconfig
[18:16] <XBehave> does FB use less resources/ is safer than X?
[18:16] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: i meant run*
[18:16] <cellofellow> cmna: there is an xfb (or something like that) driver that runs the X server in the framebuffer. Say amen to any accelreation though.
[18:16] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: i was able to fix my boot like that a few days ago
[18:16] <cellofellow> XBehave: it does use less resources.
[18:17] <R_Rios> Hi, folks
[18:17] <cr> hola
 the owner of the folders is jay and i'm logged in under pierre
[18:17] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> BronxAngel, ill give dat a try
[18:17] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: the command to chroot it "sudo chroot /mnt"
[18:17] <FuriousGeorge> hey all
[18:17] <cr> algun weon que hable  en español?
[18:17] <XBehave> !es
[18:17] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[18:17] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: you will be working on your actual install not the cd when you do that.
[18:17] <R_Rios> cr,, português serve?
[18:17] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> BronxAngel, too bad i only have a 7.04 disc and I'm running 7.10... think that will screw anything up?
[18:17] <cmna> cellofellow: well, it may be good enough for now.  I'm mostly running just as a server
[18:18] <R_Rios> FuriousGeorge, hi
[18:18] <serenityUK> !pt
[18:18] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[18:18] <cmna> cellofellow: thanks for the help
[18:18] <cr> me sirve el portuñol...
[18:18] <BronxAngel> 7.04? do they have a live cd?
[18:18] <cellofellow> cmna: ok. It's one of the xorg.conf drivers.
[18:18] <FuriousGeorge> i use linux (usually gentoo) as a server and my home desktop.  im installing a point of sales system for a client, which supports linux and im naturally gonna go with *buntu
[18:18] <FuriousGeorge> but it needs to print to a network printer
[18:18] <FuriousGeorge> i have no experience with this in linux
[18:18] <BronxAngel> y would anyone stay at 7.04? is gutsy buggy?
[18:18] <FuriousGeorge> i should worry about which printer i buy, right?
[18:19] <R_Rios> cr, d'you speak english?
[18:19] <cellofellow> cmna: if you want to run an X program on a headless server, there is a "fake" X server that I can't remember at the moment, has the letters x, f, and b in it though.
[18:19] <XBehave> network printers should work fine with linux,
[18:19] <R_Rios> FuriousGeorge, prefer HP ones
[18:19] <FuriousGeorge> XBehave: ANY network printer
[18:19] <danand> Jay955 - that would be the problem! You can make your folder 'browse-able' but i wouldn't recommend - when you 'map network drive' in windows enter the username and password of the users folder you are trying to access in ubuntu
[18:19] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> BronxAngel, i have pressed canonical versions... I upgraded using update-manager to 7.10
[18:19] <cr> speak?
[18:19] <FuriousGeorge> R_Rios: thought so
[18:19] <wakaw> !ping
[18:19] <ubotu> ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore
[18:19] <DJboenQ> yap, try HP
[18:19] <xxBasYxx> Hi i have new Ageia PhysX card, is there any chance to work with my Ubuntu 64.bit? i can't find anything helpfull and Ageia has no support for Linux:(

[18:20] <R_Rios> ubotu, OK, I've seen that...
[18:20] <Jay955> ok brb
[18:20] <FuriousGeorge> xxBasYxx: is that some sort of 'math co-processor', im just guessing but drivers might be tough
[18:20] <NOob> it doesnt work
[18:20] <FuriousGeorge> xxBasYxx: would that work in a chrooted 32-bit linux?
[18:20] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> FuriousGeorge, it's a physics card for gaming....
[18:21] <XLV> xxBasYxx, since there are hardly any games in windows using it, you expect linux support?
[18:21] <FuriousGeorge> Oni-Dracula|lapp: sounds cool
[18:21] <serenityUK> NOob, it opens another window
[18:21] <xxBasYxx> XLV yes
[18:21] <FuriousGeorge> maybe
[18:21] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> FuriousGeorge, it is... and actually math coprocessor is a good word for it
[18:21] <NOob> it didnt open
[18:21] <NOob> maybe because Im banned?
[18:21] <BronxAngel> Oni-Dracula|lapp: oh, so you are on gutsy but do not have a gutsy cd. cool. btw i am a noob
[18:21] <danand> NOob - did you try that command without the quotes?
[18:21] <xxBasYxx> XLV how to get driver or install

[18:31] <FunnyLookinHat> Digg it!  http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Hardy_Heron_Alpha_4_Released
[18:32] <zombie_monkey> guys, is it possible that a bios form 2003 has the 1024 cylinder problem? I hve installed both arch and then ubuntu but when I pick them from the boot menu I only get a blinking cursor in the top left corner
[18:32] <dennis_> How can you modify DTST?
[18:33] <soundray> zombie_monkey: I wouldn't say it's impossible, but your fault description doesn't indicate that the cylinder boundary is the issue
[18:33] <soundray> dennis_: do you mean DSDT?
[18:33] <Pici> FunnyLookinHat: Please don't do that.
[18:33] <jevangelo> is there a soulseek client for ubuntu?
[18:34] <zombie_monkey> soundray: well what I did was install them in a partition at the end and then I dded the first 512 bytes, put them in the C:\ directory of XP and added the line C:\linux.bin="LInux" to boot.ini
[18:34] <jevangelo> im searching for murmur and museekd in synaptic package manager and cant find anything
[18:34] <serenityUK> BronxAngel, this tutorial is a bit old but I hope it sets you on the right track http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server
[18:35] <soundray> zombie_monkey: I guess if you just let grub take over your MBR, you'd be fine
 still not working i will take a look later thanks for your help
[18:35] <HarleY_> Does anyone know if the bnx2 kernel module supports the Broadcom 5751 or only the 5708 in Dapper 6.06.2
[18:35] <zombie_monkey> soundray: yeah, I looked for BIOS upgrades but none of them seem to aderess the 1024 issue, so maybe that's not the problem
[18:36] <soundray> !info museekd | jevangelo
[18:36] <ubotu> jevangelo: museekd (source: museek+): Client for the SoulSeek peer-to-peer network (server daemon). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.12+svn.20070430.r667-1 (gutsy), package size 419 kB, installed size 1136 kB
[18:37] <soundray> jevangelo: ^^ museekd is in universe. Don't know about murmur
[18:37] <betatest20> jevangelo: murmur is the server part of mumble, try that
[18:37] <xybre> I install the flash-nonfree package and when I go to a flash page in firefox it tells me I still need flash.
[18:37] <Pici> !flashissue | xybre
[18:37] <Gibb> How do I clear network settings dealing with WPA passwords and wifi access points? I made a setting for wifi and now its not booting properly
[18:37] <ubotu> xybre: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[18:38] <Unxuxu> Hi... I had installed some TrueType fonts, and used fc-cache to update the system... but now... I cant open my firefox...  shows me an error about arial 12... but I dont have changed this font...
[18:38] <soundray> Gibb: be a bit more specific about the boot problem please
[18:38] <BronxAngel> serenityUK: ok, thanks. i was thinking more like creatig an answer file and making my  own cd
[18:38] <xybre> Jeez, I've been trying off and on to find a solution for a week. Google fails at finding stuf liek this.
[18:39] <dennis_> soundray : Yes srry i found a file on google i'm reading now ...think this can work
[18:39] <Gibb> soundray: its happened twice with two different installs - right after I make changes to the wifi setup, it hangs on cupsd on startup. If I remove the printer service, it hangs up after I login with no error
[18:39] <kenan> for some reason my version of libc6 is 2.7 when it should be 2.6, this is causing a lot of problems for me, is there a way i can downgrade the version without it removing all the programs that depends on libc6?
[18:40] <shadowh511> u can't
[18:40] <soundray> Gibb: how long have you waited for it to time out on the hang?
[18:40] <kenan> how come this version is installed on my system and not 2.6
[18:40] <serenityUK> kenan, you can downgrade but it will affect the programs
[18:40] <Gibb> soundray: bout an hour or two
[18:40] <Micro> Is there a network install disk for Ubuntu 7.10?
[18:40] <kenan> why would ubuntu install this version?
[18:40] <soundray> Gibb: ok, that's sufficient...
[18:41] <soundray> Gibb: but recovery mode still  works?
[18:41] <Gibb> soundray: I bet I can fix it if I can wipe the network changes I made. I got the live cd booted, what do I delete to get rid of those changes?
[18:41] <Gibb> I didnt try recovery because im a command line newb
[18:41] <Rufus_> how can I search for direcotrys?
[18:41] <serenityUK> kenan, did you install it as a .deb file separately to make something work?  I did that before
[18:41] <soundray> Gibb: remove 'auto wlan0' (or other interface name) from /etc/network/interfaces
[18:42] <kenan> serenityUK: i might have =(
[18:42] <soundray> !install > Micro, please read the private message from ubotu
[18:42] <Gibb> soundray: awesome! is it a file?
[18:42] <tyrone> hi i am running ubuntu 7.10 nad my sound has always worked fine but suddenly today it stopped working i don't know why I dual-boot with vista and it works fie there. Can anyone help me please?
[18:42] <dennis_> If i need to modify the DSDT , do i need to recompile the kernel?
[18:42] <HarleY_> exit
[18:42] <serenityUK> kenan, I googled for it and found it in debian unstable.. it worked then ubuntu wanted update the old one and it reverted  grrrrr
[18:42] <BronxAngel> serenityUK: i like this one better especially the part about modifying the preseed file https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[18:42] <soundray> dennis_: no
[18:42] <HarleY_> sorry
[18:42] <Rufus_> how can I search for direcotries?
[18:43] <Rufus_> directories*
[18:43] <kenan> serenityUK:crap, so what are my choices
[18:43] <betatest20> tyrone: did you try alsamixer and check if the according sliders aren't pulled down?
[18:43] <rich__> i just did an upgrade and now flash doesnt work properly.
[18:43] <TeMagic> Hello everybody!
[18:43] <dennis_> soundray how can i do without recompiling than. i got a file that tells me how to extract, modify and then recompile which i don't want
[18:43] <rich__> any ideas how i check what was installed and why once again its messed up my system
[18:43] <TeMagic> Just got ubuntu installed, and boy was it a much easier procedure than installing openSUSE on my Dell XPS M1330
[18:43] <Gibb> soundray: you rock. It has all of the specific changes I mad right there. can I just delete that whol file?
[18:43] <TeMagic> :9
[18:44] <serenityUK> BronxAngel, yes respin is quite new...  you can change the default user settings
[18:44] <soundray> Gibb: better not. You want  to keep the loopback device
[18:44] <Rufus_> how can I search for files?
[18:44] <soundray> dennis_: you do  want to compile the DSDT, but not the kernel
[18:44] <Gibb> soundray: theres a few lines with my wpa changes under "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" can I get rid of all that?
[18:44] <Pici> Rufus_: From the shell?
[18:44] <Rufus_> yeah
[18:44] <serenityUK> kenan, does it want to remove a lot of software ?  surely not much relies on the new one... you could reinstall it again after the update
[18:45] <dennis_> soundray . i got the modified DSDT files . how do i recompile then?
[18:45] <soundray> dennis_: check if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ACPIBattery
[18:45] <Pici> Rufus_: find /dir/to/search/in -name "something*"    switch to -iname for case insensitive searching.
[18:45] <xybre> I hate having to sign up for a forum just to download a file or something >.<
[18:46] <soundray> Gibb: why don't you just remove the auto line? It won't attempt to bring up the interface on boot after that. Then you can make the required changes from the running system.
[18:46] <TWP-SirStaal> I am fixing the problem with ubunto gutsy gibbon flash ... but how do I get access to the cache director?
[18:46] <Gibb> soundray: ok. is the auto line supposed to be on the bottom?
[18:46] <TWP-SirStaal> Can't create the folder required for it.
[18:46] <soundray> Gibb: but to answer the question: you can in principle remove everything that pertains to the problem interface.
[18:46] <serenityUK> BronxAngel, if they have IDENTICAL hardware there is also an opensource ghost type program... I think it is called clonezilla
[18:47] <soundray> Gibb: it can be anywhere in the file
[18:47] <TeMagic> I have a bit of a problem folks, I can't seem to enable 3d view on the chess game in gnome, I have nvidia 8400M GS graphic card, and have installed the nvidia proprietary driver. Any ideas? thanks
[18:47] <Gibb> soundray: ok, im gonna remove the line and reboot off the live cd
[18:47] <JewStyleKungFu> what do you do on ubuntu when everything stops responding?
[18:48] <soundray> Gibb: no, try rebooting from HD -- it should work after the change
[18:48] <rich__> which you had winxp
[18:48] <Amaranth> JewStyleKungFu: What do you mean?
[18:48] <Gibb> soundray: ack. its saying I dont have access to save it. Ill mess with the permissions
[18:48] <serenityUK> Crtl-Alt-Backspace should get you back to the login prompt
[18:48] <rich__> jewstykejungfu - wish that you had windows
[18:48] <soundray> JewStyleKungFu: reboot with Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen R E I S U B
[18:48] <soundray> Gibb: call the editor with gksudo
[18:48] <JewStyleKungFu> I can move my mouse around, but no amount of mouse clicking will actually cause the OS to respond...
[18:49] <Gibb> soundray: nice, how do I do that with the xunbuntu interface?
[18:49] <projektdotnet> Just had that happen to me and had to hard-reboot
[18:49] <Leechzilla> Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarted my system instead of only gdm, 2 days ago. Broke my 2 month uptime.
[18:49] <serenityUK> JewStyleKungFu, try crtl-alt-backspace that gets back to login without rebooting the machine
[18:49] <BronxAngel> serenityUK: wouldn't linux pick up any hw differences any ways? i mean, if i clone pcs with different hw
[18:49] <TeMagic> anybody? I don't mean to be a troll, so if I'm a repeater, please correct me:)
[18:49] <soundray> Gibb: 'gksudo gedit /mnt/etc/network/interfaces' or in a terminal 'sudo nano /mnt/etc/network/interfaces'
[18:50] <blergh> is there a way to list uuid outside of blkid and /etc/disks/by-uuid or whatever the second is?
[18:50] <JewStyleKungFu> thanks serenity
[18:50] <serenityUK> BronxAngel, yes linux is quiet resilient because there is no licence issues... I have moved hard drives between different motherboards... but you may have different screen settings or other issues maybe?
[18:50] <JewStyleKungFu> man, I like that so much better than ctrl+alt+del on windows....because I didn't pay for it
[18:51] <TWP-SirStaal> Thanks guys I fixed flash player now.
[18:51] <soundray> TeMagic: please repeat after 10 minutes of waiting -- other people will have joined within that time
[18:51] <linux1> hiya ppl when im installing a kernel by dpkg im gettign this message debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable,User postrm hook script [/sbin/update-grub] exited with value 1,Errors were encountered while processing: can i just delete the file or is there a real problem
[18:51] <Limez> hello all
[18:51] <serenityUK> JewStyleKungFu, if you have programs running outside of the X windows such as downloads in text mode they keep going without stopping... linux is desing as a multiuser system an not to break everything
[18:51] <rich__> TWP how did you fix flash?
[18:52] <JewStyleKungFu> not that I have ever in my life paid for a windows license...but I still feel screwed by microsoft when my pirated OS doesn't work as intended
[18:52] <TeMagic> soundray: ok, thanks, I'll try
[18:52] <Limez> Does a linksys wireless-internet driver exists?
[18:52] <soundray> Gibb: any question before I join my wife and kids for home-made pizza? ;)
[18:52] <lazarus_lupine> Limez: depends on the chipset
[18:52] <rinaldi_> what would i need to type if i want to connect over the internet to my home computer which i set up using the vnc "remote desktop"?
[18:52] <Gibb> soundray: I dont have a menu bar at the top in my live cd, and I cant seem to right click sudo edit the damn file
[18:52] <erUSUL> Limez: you have to find out which chipset the card/usb dongle uses
[18:52] <Limez> How?
[18:53] <wim> codecs for movies?
[18:53] <Gibb> soundray: go enjoy your pizza though, thx for the help
[18:53] <soundray> Gibb: try Alt-F2 and call a terminal with  xterm or gnome-terminal
[18:53] <soundray> Gibb: l8rs
[18:53] <blergh> rinaldi_, vncviewer <ipaddress>
[18:53] <Limez> erUSUL: how to find it out?
[18:53] <TeMagic> wim: just open the movie, and the codec wil be found automatically, at least it did for me (.mkv. x264, divx etc.)
[18:53] <Gibb> soundray: you rock
[18:54] <erUSUL> Limez: is usb or pci?

[18:54] <Limez> erUSUL: usb
[18:55] <TeMagic> wim: did you open the movie in totem?
[18:55] <wim> yes

[18:55] <TeMagic> hmmm... so what codec are you missing?
[18:55] <wim> play only avi
[18:55] <TeMagic> do you know what avi codec is used?
[18:55] <linux1> serenityUK thats done nothing mate

[18:57] <Gibb> how do I access my hdd from a command prompt on a live cd?
[18:57] <erUSUL> TeMagic: 3dchess needs special 3d python packages installed
[18:58] <TeMagic> sorry, didn't know about the one-line stuff
[18:58] <serenityUK> linux1, sorry it must be just a write-protect flag not an open process
[18:58] <erUSUL> Gibb: mount it and the you can navigate to it with cd
[18:58] <TeMagic> erUSUL: where do I find it
[18:58] <TeMagic> ?
[18:58] <erUSUL> TeMagic: when you try to enable the 2d mode a dialog box appears and tell what the packages are iirc
[18:58] <Stevenking> some mysql cracks here ?
[18:58] <TeMagic> yes, but where do I get the packages?
[18:59] <neverblue> Stevenking, sorry?
[18:59] <serenityUK> linux1, what about    fuser -v /var/cahce/debconf/config.dat
[18:59] <Gibb> erUSUL: weird, ok

[19:13] <AsakuroX> neverblue: it says mount: /media/sda1 is no block unit
[19:13] <MasterShrek> misteralexander, run it from a terminal: sudo ./file.run
[19:13] <MasterShrek> misteralexander, or: sudo sh file.run
[19:13] <LockesRabb> how can i fix my keyboard shortcuts? i set them, but they aren't working...
[19:13] <misteralexander> okay, i'll try those.
[19:14] <kebinusan> So I followed a guide on setting my my g15 in linux, which seemed to work fine, but I cant bind the G keys in games under Wine, any ideas?
[19:14] <blergh> zombie_monkey, did you try clicking on the network icon in the top right, then selecting manual config, highlighting eth0, select preferences, disable roaming an select static?
[19:15] <blergh> zombie_monkey, sorry if the directions are little off, not currently on ubuntu, but that is the rough idea to do it through gui
[19:15] <blergh> LockesRabb, please reread the rules, one of them being do not constantly repost your question
[19:16] <rich__> possible for me to rollback the changes so that i can get it working how it was 5 mins ago?
[19:16] <blergh> LockesRabb, could you please elaborate on what you have done/what youre trying to do with your keyboard shortcuts?
[19:16] <misteralexander> MASTERSHREK => okay, yeah . . . that worked.  It installed.  Thanks.
[19:17] <LockesRabb> @blergh, i only did that because there seemed to be no response. as for what i've done: i went in the keyboard shortcuts manager, and set the windows key to open the panel, but when i press it, the panel doesn't open....
[19:18] <LockesRabb> @blergh, i'd also like to add, i merged the two menus into one menu, so to access the menu, i click on the ubuntu logo, which brings it up. id like to be able to press the windows key to bring it up.
[19:18] <misteralexander> I didn't pay close enough attention, I need to "configure" an ATI video driver I just installed.  How do I do this?

[19:19] <BelkMoose> Hi, is there a simple image editor for Ubuntu (GIMP is too complex) .. I just want to paste a few images into one picture
[19:19] <serenityUK> linux1, sorry i said in second message about my spelling mistake  look i wrote  cahce  instead of  cache
[19:19] <TexJoachim> did anyone get a hp scanjet g2710 to work with ubuntu?
[19:20] <hellotherehere> hi, my laptop does not recognize the lan, how to find out where is the problem?
[19:20] <rich__> bloody linux, every time i update something stops working
[19:20] <pike_> BelkMoose: there is a gtkpaint i think.. never tried it though
[19:20] <rich__> how do i overcome these issues?
[19:20] <BelkMoose> hm
[19:20] <usr13_> BelkMoose: Use gimp, once you get the idea of the menus, you will love it.  Hint:  Right click for quick access to menus.
[19:21] <BelkMoose> I can't understand GIMP
[19:21] <pike_> gimp isnt that bad to learn for copy paste cutting, screenshot stuff
[19:21] <BelkMoose> I only use gimp for screenshots tho yea
[19:21] <LockesRabb> eh i dunno about that
[19:21] <hellotherehere> am I invisible in this channel or something? why I never get answers to anything I ask?
[19:21] <LockesRabb> i'm used to adobe photoshop cs2, when i tried gimp, i found it extremely complicated and very different
[19:22] <BelkMoose> i see you
[19:22] <LockesRabb> so i just installed adobe photoshop cs2 under wine
[19:22] <LockesRabb> ;p
[19:22] <BelkMoose> (Sometimes you have to wait :))
[19:22] <Limez> What if I already installed lsusb but my wireless internet (linksys) usb still doesn' t work?
[19:22] <usr13_> BelkMoose: Bring up image #1 Ctrl-c  Right-click File->New (create new blank image), Ctrl-v
[19:22] <usr13_> BelkMoose: etc.etc.
[19:23] <BelkMoose> ok so what's the max #
[19:23] <arcad3> hi,
[19:23] <arcad3> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54372/
[19:23] <LockesRabb> hellotherethere, the support personnel here have very slow response times, so you'll end up waiting. i had to wait 5 minutes for someone to finally realize i needed help, and when i told that someone my issue, he stopped responding. so.... patience's a virtue :-)
[19:23] <blergh> LockesRabb, im not on ubuntu right now, but im looking into the problem
[19:23] <blergh> LockesRabb, im currently at work and supposed to be investigating my own problem with redhat hence my slowness, i am sorry
[19:23] <usr13_> BelkMoose: Once you learn the layout of the menus, it is very easy.
[19:23] <BelkMoose> usr13_: But I still don't understand how to move the images
[19:23] <blergh> LockesRabb, i have to restart but i will be back
[19:24] <LockesRabb> blergh, what's the issue you're having
[19:25] <LockesRabb> wb, blergh
[19:25] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  Try Digikam or Picasa.
[19:25] <BelkMoose> k
[19:25] <LockesRabb> blergh, what's the issue ur havin with redhat?
[19:25] <usr13_> BelkMoose: Bring up image #1 Ctrl-c  Right-click File->New (create new blank image and make it very large), Ctrl-v   Bring up Image #2 Ctrl-c Go to new (Untitled image) Ctrl-v  Move it to where you want it.  Shift-c to crop.  etc. etc.
[19:25] <BelkMoose> meep
[19:25] <BelkMoose> ok now i'm getting overwhelmed :)
[19:25] <LockesRabb> usr13, you're very fond of 'etc. etc.' aren't you?
[19:25] <LockesRabb> ;p
[19:26] <blergh> LockesRabb, for some reason kde/konqueror is mounting/displaying any drives with labels twice
[19:26] <BelkMoose> K_Nine: Picasa only comes in .exe? =/
[19:27] <K_Nine> It should be in the medibuntu repos.
[19:27] <DEAthKA> hello
[19:27] <BelkMoose> eh
[19:27] <DEAthKA> a short question
[19:27] <DEAthKA> new to linux
[19:27] <DEAthKA> where do i find realplayer 10?
[19:27] <BelkMoose> hm
[19:27] <kapace> hello, i installed ubuntu on a secondary HD, and didn't install the bootloader, and i have winxp working, but not ubuntu
[19:28] <K_Nine> BelkMoose: Start Synaptic and enable the Medibuntu repository.
[19:28] <cellofellow> I have this odd problem with CUPS: it sometimes just stops (that's the status, stopped) my network printer. The printer I'm using is networked with IPP on my server, and I'm using the Raw Que driver. (Does the same thing when I set the server to be raw and the client to do the driving.) The only way to fix it is to open printers.conf, delete the status lines, and restart cups.
[19:28] <usr13_> BelkMoose: Try it, it's easier than you think.
[19:28] <kapace> how can i add ubuntu to boot.ini?
[19:28] <BelkMoose> you shouldn't need to
[19:28] <LockesRabb> @blergh, have you checked fstab?
[19:28] <ddmdllt> kapace: boot.ini?
[19:28] <cellofellow> kapace: you using wubi?
[19:28] <kapace> i think
[19:28] <kapace> whats wubi?
[19:28] <ddmdllt> kapace: windows boot.ini?
[19:28] <kapace> yes
[19:28] <kapace> ubuntu isn't working
[19:28] <BelkMoose> ok maybe I am being too general when I'm saying Ubuntu then
[19:29] <cellofellow> kapace: it's installing Ubuntu inside windows, and yes it uses boot.ini instead of grub.
[19:29] <BelkMoose> I mean Kubuntu
[19:29] <kapace> i can't boot to it
[19:29] <cellofellow> !wubi
[19:29] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[19:29] <ddmdllt> hum... you can add an entry for grub in boot.ini but it's special...
[19:29] <RequinB4> kapace - try going to your system BIOS
[19:29] <kapace> oo, so i should just run wubi?
[19:29] <RequinB4> and making sure that it boots to ubuntu first
[19:29] <LockesRabb> @ blergh => have you checked fstab? open /etc/fstab in a text editor and see if there's any duplicate entries
[19:29] <kapace> RequinB4: why would i go there?
[19:29] <cellofellow> ddmdllt: boot.ini can do a chainloader just like grub?
[19:29] <kapace> yes
[19:29] <ddmdllt> cellofellow: it can load the first stage of grub
[19:30] <RequinB4> (02:29:01 PM) kapace: i can't boot to it - meaning ubuntu or windows?
[19:30] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  Open Syaptic, click on Settings then repositories and chech the ones not checked. Then click on search and put in Picasa and Digikam. Click on them and check install and then click on apply.
[19:30] <kapace> RequinB4: i can't boot to ubuntu
[19:30] <kapace> thus no grub
[19:30] <RequinB4> kapace: where do you have ubuntu installed?
[19:30] <kapace> so, i think if i install wubi, it will work?
[19:30] <K_Nine> O. You have to click on the reload button tool.
[19:30] <kapace> on another HD
[19:30] <danand> DEAthKA - first and foremost (some might call this pedantic) you should really refer to "Linux" as GNU/Linux. Linux is just the kernel of your OS - the vast majority of the rest of the system was written by the GNU folks... Just to give credit where credits due. PS Why do you specifically want realplayer?
[19:30] <BelkMoose> K_Nine: Synaptic?
[19:30] <cellofellow> kapace: you need grub. just run the livecd and there is a script that installs grub, I think it's sudo grub-install
[19:30] <RequinB4> kapace: go to your system BIOS and set it so it boots to that HDD first
[19:30] <kapace> during install i didn't select to install boot loader
[19:30] <ddmdllt> cellofellow: in fact it's necessary to put the 512 bytes in a file, and to tell to boot.ini to load the file
[19:30] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  Package Manager.
[19:31] <cellofellow> ddmdllt: seems pointless
[19:31] <BelkMoose> oh I have Adept
[19:31] <DEAthKA> yes
[19:31] <kapace> RequinB4: i don't have bootloader to my second HD with ubuntu
[19:31] <ddmdllt> cellofellow: only in case of problems
[19:31] <LockesRabb> hi. my keyboard shortcuts aren't working. I tried setting the windows key to open the main ubuntu menu via keyboard shortcut manager, but it isn't working...
[19:31] <RequinB4> kapace: ah
[19:31] <usr13_> BelkMoose: See: http://docs.gimp.org/en/
[19:31] <kapace> so im going to try wubi now
[19:31] <kapace> brb
[19:31] <cellofellow> kapace: can you tell your bios to boot from a different HD?
[19:31] <kapace> yes..
[19:32] <ddmdllt> cellofellow: but it should work if grub is not on the mbr too...
[19:32]  * cellofellow had to do that while setting up GRUB on a 2-drive system.
[19:32] <kapace> but i can't get it to boot to ubuntu because it doesn't have a bootloader
[19:32] <cellofellow> kapace: then use the LiveCD to install it in the MBR of one of the drives.
[19:32] <kapace> give me a second.. my ubuntu multiboot system is nin another room :P
[19:32] <DEAthKA> i have evrethig i need here  but realplayer
[19:32] <WorkingOnWise>  I have gone brain dead. what is the pretty console mode file deitor with the nice drop-down menues? m something?
[19:32] <philip_> Anyone know an alternative to lanschool, for linux
[19:32] <rsk> philip_: what's lanschool?
[19:32] <rinaldi_> DEAthKA: why do you specifically need realplayer?
[19:32] <BelkMoose> K_Nine: hmm I am using Adept but I can't seem to find the picasa package
[19:33] <r3r3> oh noeZ my flash is borked, you can t downgrade it?
[19:33] <DEAthKA> yes
[19:33] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: probably emacs but I've never touched it. Nano and vim don't have menus.
[19:33] <DEAthKA> only that piece of soft
[19:33] <BelkMoose> should I do Manage repositories
[19:33] <DEAthKA> i tried to compile
[19:33] <philip_> rsk, a proprietary program used by teacher, you can control students pc remotely,..block their screens..show them your screen.
[19:33] <philip_> and such
[19:33] <cellofellow> BelkMoose: just a suggestion, but you'll probably get better help in #kubuntu
[19:33] <WorkingOnWise> cellofellow: nope. this was much more DOS Edit-ish
[19:33] <danand> DEAthKA - why do you specifically need realplayer - do none of the other apps display what you want to look at?
[19:33] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose, you just download the deb file from Google, and run it. It'll install Picasa
[19:33] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  When I click on the icon in the bottom left a program window comes up like windows. In there is my choice for package manager.
[19:34] <DEAthKA> but a small error and here i am trying to search a package
[19:34] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: maybe it's joe
[19:34] <kapace> shoot, i don't have a Cd drive on that system, can i copy WUBI to a ufd, and try it?
[19:34] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose, I'll get the link, a second
[19:34] <rsk> philip_: try some vnc programs
[19:34] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: there are tons of CLI editors.
[19:34] <adys> hey there, Im having some problems installing ubuntu x64 from desktop cd - As soon as the install starts, it loads the linux kernel and then the monitor is not recognized anymore. i tried with two different monitors, with and w/o safe mode, vga etc. I got a nvidia 6600 gts
[19:34] <DEAthKA> i need realplayer 10...that protocol it seems
[19:34] <DEAthKA> 10
[19:34] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: just see the editors section in synaptic
[19:34] <RequinB4> hey adys: i had the same problem a week ago
[19:34] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose, http://picasa.google.com/linux/thanks-deb.html
[19:34] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  then open a terminal and type sudo install digikam
[19:34] <LockesRabb> that will start the picasa download for you
[19:34] <BelkMoose> kkkk
[19:34] <adys> RequinB4, graphic card?
[19:35] <RequinB4> adys:  6600 GT
[19:35] <adys> might be related
[19:35] <WorkingOnWise> cellofellow: I did, i thought for sure it was mcedit, but its not there
[19:35] <sharpie_> how can i see my last boot time? (the program called hardinfo shows the 3 last boots, i wanna know where it gets that info from)
[19:35] <DEAthKA> i can play real 9....but not 10
[19:35] <adys> i know there were similar problems last year with another graphic card
[19:35] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: here's one with a description that matches: aee
[19:35] <DEAthKA> curios thing but this is the reality
[19:35] <mage2> I'm having troubles booting my ubuntu system. I had everything going well and then I took out a defective drive and it wouldn't boot anymore with the b0 error. I went into the livecd and reinstalled grub but it still wouldn't boot. Any ideas?
[19:35] <usr13_> sharpie_: uptime
[19:36] <adys> RequinB4, managed to work it around?
[19:36] <danand> DEAthKA - have you downloaded the latest realplayer??
[19:36] <RequinB4> adys: You need to get the right nvidia drivers, and to boot without them so you can get them you need to reconigure X.  What i did was boot the alt CD, install, then get a shell to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', use VESA drivers, then boot up and get the restricted nvidia drivers
[19:36] <DEAthKA> i have a link from debian package..but the link seems to be broken
[19:36] <Sharpie> usr13_: no, the computer boot date
[19:36] <AsakuroX> neverblue: are you there yet?
[19:36] <LockesRabb> can someone help me with my keyboard shortcuts problem?
[19:36] <neverblue> AsakuroX, yes, I am
[19:37] <BelkMoose> yikes i downloaded it but now I am getting errors saying "archive format not supported"
[19:37] <DEAthKA> and the compilation fron the realplayer site is giving me some erroes
[19:37] <adys> RequinB4, cheers ill try that tomorrow, ill get back to you otherwise
[19:37] <somnambulist> hi, does anyone know how to setup a dhcp server running on 3 NICs that will set the client's default gateway to the interface it connects on?
[19:37] <LockesRabb> i've been here for 15 minutes now, and have not gotten any help :-(
[19:37] <RequinB4> adys: ok
[19:37] <BelkMoose> Is it because I tried opening a .deb with ark?
[19:37] <usr13_> Sharpie: What are you looking for?
[19:37] <AsakuroX> neverblue: then i guess you didn't see my question about GParted and Terminal
[19:37] <Sharpie> usr13_: a list of when the computer booted
[19:37] <Sharpie> usr13_: hardinfo shows it
[19:37] <neverblue> AsakuroX, correct
[19:37] <neverblue> as I was busy
[19:38] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose, yes, shouldn't open it with ark
[19:38] <DEAthKA> i have the real time kernel..but this should not be something bad
[19:38] <Sharpie> usr13_: i was sharpie_ before, i ghosted whoever used my nick :/
[19:38] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose, you should open it with GDebi Package Installer
[19:38] <WorkingOnWise> cellofellow: ty. I'll check it out...wierd I cant find mcedit. do u see it in your system?
[19:38] <DEAthKA> everything is working perfectly
[19:38] <DEAthKA> not the realplayer
[19:39] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: oh, I just remembered that mcedit is part of mc, ie midnight commander, the venerable CLI file manager.
[19:39] <DEAthKA> 1 h and a half  anf
[19:39] <DEAthKA> and no result
[19:39] <AsakuroX> neverblue:  i was asking about the fstab.. it doesn't exist :S
[19:39] <DEAthKA> i dont know what to do next
[19:39] <WorkingOnWise> cellofellow: as in if i install mc, I have mcedit?
[19:39] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: I think so...
[19:39] <AsakuroX> also, it cant find my partitions in /media neverblue
[19:39] <neverblue> AsakuroX, i am 100% confident fstab does in fact exist
[19:40] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: let me check something
[19:40] <neverblue> AsakuroX, sudo nano /etc/fstab
[19:40] <WorkingOnWise> cellofellow: ok....
[19:40] <linux1> serenityUK sorry eating my dinner ,still not output with that spelt the right way
[19:40] <cellofellow> WorkingOnWise: yes, that is where you get it
[19:40] <ctrader> somnambulist: I am checking to see how to do it
[19:40] <WorkingOnWise> cellofellow: thanks...
[19:40] <Sharpie> A program named "hardinfo" shows a list of the last 3 times my computer booted. where does it get its info from?
[19:40] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose you can download it to a specific location, navigating to the location, running it by doin "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"
[19:40] <lauren> can anyone tell me how i'd go about deleting a large amount of files in a single directory? 'rm -f *' returns "too many arguments"
[19:40] <somnambulist> ctrader, great, let me know what you find
[19:40] <BelkMoose> How big is this Picasa file?
[19:40] <mutual> ubuntu is for hippies
[19:40] <Sharpie> lauren: rm -rf ./
[19:41] <Sharpie> lauren: when you're in that directory, of course
[19:41] <danand> DEAthKA - have you tried downloading realplayer directly? I'm sure realplayer can work installed by user (not system wide)
[19:41] <sfears> how do i figure out what the /dev name of my usb drive is so that i can mount it?
[19:41] <lauren> Sharpie, what's the -rf ./ do?
[19:41] <AsakuroX> neverblue: do you want the output to help me further?
[19:41] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose, 20.7 MB
[19:41] <sfears> it is not sda1
[19:41] <BelkMoose> wow
[19:41] <sfears> at least sda1 is not found
[19:41] <neverblue> AsakuroX, output of what?
[19:41] <RequinB4> sfears - nautilus has a nice pretty picture
[19:41] <BelkMoose> lauren: it removes the directory
[19:41] <DEAthKA> solved...:)
[19:42] <Sharpie> lauren: -rf means that it will go recursively and delete folders as well, ./ means the current folder (../ means the previous one)
[19:42] <AsakuroX> neverblue: of the nano etc command u sent me
[19:42] <DEAthKA> curios
[19:42] <sfears> i don't see any pictures
[19:42] <lauren> BelkMoose, i want to keep the directory, just remove the files, its for a web server
[19:42] <BelkMoose> yea I deleted /www in my web server
[19:42] <sfears> and that wasn't the answer to my question
[19:42] <DEAthKA> in 1 h
[19:42] <ctrader> somnambulist: are all of the clients going to be on the same subnet, sharing the same pool of IP's?
[19:42] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  It should be in the repositories. All you have to do is click apply after you search for it.
[19:42] <DEAthKA> thx for the help
[19:42] <lauren> is there a way to pipe grep output into rm?
[19:42] <BelkMoose> yea, but regardless, it's going to be a large file?
[19:42] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  What distro are you using?
[19:42] <RequinB4> sfears: if you open nautilus there should be a list of potentially bootable stuff on the left
[19:42] <BelkMoose> Kubuntu 7.10
[19:43] <AsakuroX> neverblue: of the nano etc command u sent me
[19:43] <danand> DEAthKA :)
[19:43] <LockesRabb> Can someone help me with my keyboard shortcut problem please? It's been 25 minutes of waiting. ;p
[19:43] <sfears> that's not the answer to my question
[19:43] <K_Nine> BelkMoose: It is not a large file.
[19:43] <BelkMoose> It is if you're on dialup
[19:43] <DEAthKA> danand: thx man i will hang out here for long time
[19:43] <LockesRabb> BelkMoose, it's a small file. It only took me two seconds to download it.
[19:43] <sfears> how do i figure out what the /dev of my usb drive is so i can mount it?
[19:43] <BelkMoose> but I'm not on dialup, it just seems like it
[19:43] <K_Nine> BelkMoose: When you click on the kicker, do you see Synaptic as a choice or package manager?
[19:44] <neverblue> AsakuroX, thats your fstab, that you mentioned wasnt there
[19:44] <RequinB4> sfears: You wanted to mount it... If all you wanted was the name for soem other purpose just go to that directory  and look at the files inside
[19:44] <BelkMoose> K_Nine: Negative
[19:44] <danand> lauren - you could do rm `ls | grep *jpg` - this would rm all jpg files for instance
[19:44] <frawfraw> can anyone try to ssh to <IP_ADDRESS> and tell me if you get a response?
[19:44] <LockesRabb> Can someone help me with my keyboard shortcut problem please? It's been 25 minutes of waiting. ;p
[19:44] <neverblue> AsakuroX, so you have to read up on 'man mount' to find out what to do
[19:44] <soundray> sfears: run tail -f /var/log/syslog and observe the messages as you plug it in
[19:44] <AsakuroX> neverblue: aha, but why is some of my partitions mentioned there but not aviable in ubuntu? :(
[19:44] <sfears> i tried that.. it said scsi1.. but that didn't seem to work
[19:44] <K_Nine> BelkMoose: Let me check.
[19:44] <ctrader> LockesRabb: what is the problem?
[19:45] <blergh> LockesRabb, sorry, still not in ubuntu, but here is a quick google that sounded similar http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/use-the-windows-key-for-the-start-menu-in-ubuntu-linux/
[19:45] <ConstyXIV> can you turn your desktop vertical in ubuntu?
[19:45] <tacone> !flash
[19:45] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues »
[19:45] <kranny> i want to coonect my laptop and dektop through a lan cable
[19:45] <soundray> sfears: look out for a sequence beginning with /dev/sd
[19:45] <kranny> Both have fesity on them
[19:45] <danbhfive> I just got a new package for flash today
[19:46] <frawfraw> kranny: do you have a router?
[19:46] <BelkMoose> Oh I jsut installed flash through firefox's plugin finder :)
[19:46] <danbhfive> are you sure flash is not fixed?
[19:46] <neverblue> AsakuroX, did you add a new HD after you installed Ubuntu ?
[19:46] <Zoldax_II> mn
[19:46] <soundray> sfears: alternatively enable automounting in System-Preferences-Removable Drives
[19:46] <kranny> frawfraw:no
[19:46] <LockesRabb> blergh => that's what i did, and that's not working
[19:46] <ctrader> LockesRabb: I've had troubles with the key working if you are running compiz-fusion
[19:46] <kranny> Just a LAN cable
[19:46] <frawfraw> kranny:  a router is what you need.  it is a little box that goes between the two computers and lets them talk.
[19:47] <pike_> kranny: if its a newer lappy alot of nics do the crossover for you
[19:47] <LockesRabb> i think the problem is, i merged the ubuntu menus into a single panel menu
[19:47] <blergh> LockesRabb, i would try switching to metacity if youre not already, try the shortcut, if it still doesnt work, try something simple like map windows to play music
[19:47] <kranny> frawfraw:anything like adhoc network
[19:47] <blergh> LockesRabb, try to see if you can get the windows key to do anything
[19:47] <blergh> LockesRabb, if you can, then it may be the merged menus
[19:47] <K_Nine> BelkMoose:  Try going to this page to see how to add repositories to Adept. http://www.kubuntu.org/doc/index.php
[19:47] <AsakuroX> neverblue: aha, but why is some of my partitions mentioned there but not aviable in ubuntu? :(
[19:47] <kranny> pike_:uyah its a new hp v3424au
[19:47] <soundray> kranny: you can connect two machines directly, but you need a crossover patch cable
[19:47] <neverblue> AsakuroX, did you add a new HD after you installed Ubuntu ?
[19:47] <LockesRabb> i tried using windows and tab key to switch windows via compiz fusion, works fine
[19:48] <AsakuroX> neverblue:  no i didn't
[19:48] <dimitri_> what shortcut key is for change languages?
[19:48] <neverblue> AsakuroX, i dunno then *shrugs*
[19:48] <pike_> kranny: you could try just pluggint em in maybe the nic will handle it for you youd need to google the model i suppose ad hoc is easy to setup
[19:48] <neverblue> AsakuroX, does that really matter though, now you have to find out how to set it up
[19:48] <AsakuroX> neverblue:  awmygod... what the h*ll am i supposed to do now then?
[19:48] <LockesRabb> blergh: i'm going to add another panel, then put the normal menus there and see if the windows key executes then
[19:49] <kranny> pike_:tanks
[19:49] <wyth> Question: Anybody on here get a Dell 530 desktop with Ubuntu pre-installed?  If so, I have just a couple questions
[19:49] <neverblue> AsakuroX, as I have told you about 5 times now, read 'man mount'
[19:49] <danand> LockesRabb - I just done that - never knew it did THAT - COOL!! :) - thought i was limited to ALT-TAB
[19:49] <somnambulist> ctrader, i've decided to put them on different subnets, that makes it easy, thanks :)
[19:49] <serenityUK> linux1, have you tried rebooting?
[19:49] <soundray> wyth: why not just ask the questions (one at a time)
[19:49] <piccola> ciao
[19:49] <AsakuroX> neverblue: ah i thought u meant 'man' = 'manually'
[19:49] <kranny> what is a crossover patch cable
[19:49] <piccola> !addon
[19:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about addon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:50] <Stavros> how can i prevent people from reading folders they don't have access to?
[19:50] <somnambulist> now, what is the proper command to restart networking? i've done 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' but that didn't read the /etc/network/interfaces
[19:50] <linux1> yeah thats the first thing i did
[19:50] <soundray> kranny: it's an ethernet cable that has two wires crossed over
[19:50] <TeMagic> hi again everybody
[19:50] <wyth> Okay, first question: Has anyone been able to get sleep/standby/hibernate to work?
[19:50] <linux1> i have the porblem for a day or 2 now
[19:50] <frawfraw> can anyone try to ssh to <IP_ADDRESS> and tell me if you get a response?
[19:50] <TeMagic> just have a quick question, how do I run a program as root in the terminal?
[19:50] <LockesRabb> danand -- haha yea, there's alot it can do
[19:51] <soundray> TeMagic: 'sudo program'
[19:51] <kranny> Temagic:su
[19:51] <RequinB4> !sudo
[19:51] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[19:51] <danand> LockesRabb - SUPER-ALT-TAB works too :) V Happy with that!! - What else??
[19:51] <blergh> LockesRabb, iirc, using the system>preferences way of changing keyboard shortcuts is bound to system defaults, ala pause is for rhythmbox so using compiz or new menus still might not work if im correct
[19:51] <frawfraw> TeMagic: sudo some_command
[19:51] <soundray> kranny: do not recommend su please
[19:51] <TeMagic> tgank
[19:51] <TeMagic> thanks
[19:51] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[19:51] <LockesRabb> blergh -- i just added new panel, added normal menus to it, still didn't work
[19:51] <jpatrick> !noroot | kranny
[19:51] <ubotu> kranny: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[19:51] <pankos> hello
[19:51] <kranny> sorry everyone
[19:51] <blergh> LockesRabb, i would try opening rhythmbox, binding windows key or windows key plus some letter to play and testing that
[19:51] <Cpudan80> I'm having trouble with XChat, it has a weird directory in /<home>/.xchat2/scrollback -- it's called "FreeNode?"
[19:52] <RequinB4> hello pankos
[19:52] <blergh> LockesRabb, could also try binding windows key to the screensaver
[19:52] <Cpudan80> I need to get rid of it -- cause it's messing up my client --- any idea how?
[19:52] <soundray> TeMagic: be careful not to run a graphical program with sudo. Use gksudo for those
[19:52] <LockesRabb> okay, tryin, sec
[19:52] <kranny> how to add a user to sudoers list
[19:52] <wyth> guess not?
[19:52] <soundray> kranny: 'sudo adduser username admin'
[19:53] <soundray> wyth: say that it's a Dell 530 on the same line that you ask the question. New people are logging on all the time.
[19:53] <TeMagic> when I try to connect my logitech bluetooth laser mouse in ubuntu, I get an error message: saying my mouse is not a valid location....
[19:53] <TeMagic> ?
[19:53] <LockesRabb> blergh, i don't see any mention of screensaver in keyboard shortcuts manager
[19:54] <danand> Just a quickie - how do I find all the keyboard shortcuts for compiz - ala ALT-TAB for changing windows etc??
[19:54] <GHOST> hello there anyone know how can i desactivate FIRESTARTER when ubuntu is booting(i got an error about the fact that firestarter wont start) ? tx
[19:55] <serenityUK> linux1, try      sudo dpkg --configure -a     &&       sudo apt-get -f install
[19:55] <zed_> hi I removed my kenel at one point on accident, got it back but now when I login I get a brown screen, I can get terminal and open programs, but I can't get online from the boot and install the files I removed
[19:55] <AsakuroX> neverblue: man mount didn't solve anything..
[19:55] <kahrytan> GHOST->  firestarter isnt a firewall
[19:55] <blergh> LockesRabb, its probably lock screen, not sure, still not in ubuntu :/
[19:55] <zed_> I have root in a live session and wanted to know if theres a way to install the base boot up files without a full install
[19:56] <LockesRabb> danand shift+alt+up
[19:56] <jpatrick> GHOST: sudo update-rc.d -f firestarter remove
[19:56] <TeMagic> is there a program I can download to control the fans of my laptop (m1330), they're spinning constantly...? And how do I get my bluetooth mouse connected?
[19:56] <danand> GHOST - wouldn't worry about that - mine says the same. Think its caused by firestarter trying to start the firewall without the network interface being up first
[19:56] <hsystemxX> kahrytan, nobody is asking that... we all know that it is a frontend to manage ip tables.
[19:56] <soundray> zed_: one possibility is to install the packages that are still in the cache /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:56] <zed_> O hey soundray
[19:56] <LockesRabb> super+tab can work two ways, there's flip switcher, or ring switcher
[19:56] <LockesRabb> me, i use flip switcher
[19:56] <GHOST> jpatrick dats cool tank again bye ;)
[19:56] <Almaceno_24> dd
[19:57] <linux1> serenityUK i have tryed that allready and just again but im getting the same message
[19:57] <wyth> Sorry -- I have a new Dell 530 with Gutsy 7.10 pre-installed.  I got it with a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT-  DDR3 gfx card.  I have it set to go to sleep after an hour, to save power.  But it won't come back out; it flashes the login screen, then goes black, I see a bunch of command-line-like text, and then it goes black again. If I hit the power button again, it just reboots
[19:57] <soundray> zed_: I see you haven't given up. You'd be back up and running now if you had reinstalled ;)
[19:57] <wyth> So I'm looking for a way around that
[19:57] <jason_> can some one help me with enableing my graphics card to run fully?
[19:57] <TeMagic> jason_:  what graphic card?
[19:57] <jason_> intel
[19:57] <jason_> 1 sec
[19:57] <zed_> Hey hey I got the kernel back, besides wheres the fun in being a stubborn  person in that?
[19:58] <AsakuroX> neverblue: man mount didn't solve anything..
[19:58] <LockesRabb> danand -- you can see a list of keyboard shortcuts for compiz fusion here: http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/
[19:58] <LockesRabb> blergh, i will try the lock screen one
[19:58] <jason_> actually ther are a few problems with ubuntu out of the box for my laptop
[19:58] <jeffMASTERflex> AsakuroX: man mounting seems to work for about 10% of the population
[19:58] <rich__> yoyo, my system update has gyed me up again! flash doesnt work, any ideas
[19:58] <jason_> for one it doesnt reconize my computer
[19:58] <hsystemxX> im zZ and have to work ... damn (spam)
[19:58] <AsakuroX> jeffMASTERflex:  haha lol so what should i do then?
[19:59] <danand> LockesRabb - Thanks!
[19:59] <zed_> rich_: flash the program or the plugin?
[19:59] <LockesRabb> danand -- no problem
[19:59] <rich__> the plugin
[19:59] <serenityUK> linux1, i've fixed it before it's bugging me that I can't find the answer again..   I think there is a lock file that is created when you open synaptic that stops you running apt-get at same time etc... if you delete the lock file as root it works
[19:59] <LockesRabb> blergh -- when i set windows key to lock screen, it works
[19:59] <kahrytan> rich__-> Whats wrong with flash
[19:59] <rich__> i did a system update, now it says its not installed
[20:00] <rich__> when i go to youtube etc
[20:00] <jason_> Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[20:00] <kahrytan> !flash > rich__
[20:00] <serenityUK> linux1, all the searches so far have given previous advice
[20:00] <jason_> is my grapics card
[20:00] <kahrytan> rich__->  read ubotu msg
[20:00] <rich__> gnash is GASH, so i uninstalled it, as it doesnt play back properly or show the video controls
[20:00] <soundray> !flashissue > rich__
[20:00] <__mikem> Is there a way to make texmacs which uses an older graphical toolkit for its gui blend in better with the other gtk applications?
[20:00] <LockesRabb> blergh, i tried ctrl q for the panel menu, that didnt work either
[20:00] <rich__> when did this issue happen today?
[20:00] <hsystemxX> rich__ from my experience, flash plugin in ubuntu linux for firefox, wont work if it is installed from firefox itself. If i were you i will go to adobe.com and download the tar.gz package of adobe flash and install it.
[20:00] <LockesRabb> blergh, hell, ANY shortcut i assign for the panel menu don't work
[20:01] <AsakuroX> jeffMASTERflex:  so what should i do then?
[20:01] <soundray> rich__: no, it's been going on for weeks. Proprietary software: more trouble than it's worth(TM)
[20:01] <jason_> can some one help me with runing my Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller at full speed
[20:01] <kranny> I have free downloads from 10 pm to 6 am ...so i need to disconnect before 6 am....any automated approach
[20:01] <blergh> LockesRabb, what about for things other than the menu?
[20:01] <kranny> i tried crontab
[20:01] <linux1> serenityUK when i find the file i will
[20:01] <__mikem> Let me ask a more general question, is there a way to make applications that use older Graphical Toolkits for their UI, look more like the newer gtk apps
[20:02] <serenityUK> linux1, does the error msg say something at the top such as   Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lock   ?
[20:02] <jason_> i can't even get some screensaver to run at full speed
[20:02] <PriceChild> __mikem, rewrite them to use the new stuff?
[20:02] <LockesRabb> blergh -- other things other than the menu works fine
[20:02] <linux1> serenityUK no
[20:02] <__mikem> PriceChild, no what i mean is, I heard there was a package you could install that updates the appearence for those apps
[20:02] <serenityUK> linux1, be careful deleting files as root lol..  it's a very specific file
[20:03] <__mikem> but i don't know the name of it
[20:03] <soundray> !info xserver-xorg-video-intel | jason_
[20:03] <ubotu> jason_: xserver-xorg-video-intel (source: xserver-xorg-video-intel): X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver. In component main, is optional. Version 2:2.1.1-0ubuntu9 (gutsy), package size 173 kB, installed size 476 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm armeb armel hppa hurd-i386 i386 ia64 kfreebsd-i386 lpia m68k mips mipsel netbsd-i386 powerpc)
[20:03] <jason_> hmm...
[20:03] <linux1> serenityUK hehehe i know ;)
[20:03] <blergh> LockesRabb, alright, i have to leave for a little bit, but I think it may have to do with the panel having been reconfigured, ill get back to you in a bit
[20:03] <ctrader> kranny: crontab wasn't able to do it?
[20:03] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: hi there. ubuntu is generally working ok, ive installed the restricted drivers and the updates, if there anything else you recommend doing/installing?
[20:03] <kranny> I have free downloads from 10 pm to 6 am ...so i need to disconnect before 6 am....any automated approach...i tried crontab
[20:03] <__mikem> PriceChild, do you understand what I mean?
[20:03] <soundray> jason_: make sure you have this package installed ^^, then run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and select the intel driver. (Accept the defaults for everything else)
[20:03] <PriceChild> __mikem, no idea
[20:03] <__mikem> thanks anyway :(
[20:04] <kranny> ctrader i can only shutdown
[20:04] <jason_> ok will do
[20:04] <TeMagic> does anybody know how I can connect my logitech bluetooth mouse in ubuntu? It says the MAC-address of the moiuse is not a valid location....
[20:04] <kranny> ctrader:but i need to disconnect rather than shutting down the system
[20:04] <soundray> __mikem: there is no way, unless you port the sourcecode to the newer toolkit yourself
[20:04] <soundray> __mikem: (or ask the developers to do it)
[20:05] <kranny> ctrader:i made a /sbin/poweroff entry in crontab
[20:05] <soundray> kranny: you can time the shutdown of the network interface in question. Just run 'ifdown ppp0' from cron (substitute your actual net interface)
[20:06] <shade052> kranny: set "/etc/init.d/networking stop" in cron. i think it will work
[20:06] <hellotherehere> I followed the steps mentioned here to fix the ethernet problem and now the whole computer is not loading at all
[20:06] <zed_> soundray: can I do a reinstall without formating? it keeps telling my no root format defined
[20:06] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337,    I  use   miro   to subscribe to videos and podcasts such as Diggnation      and   innotek Virtualbox  instead of vmware to run other OS in a window,  compiz-fusion for 3D effects  System->Prefs->Appearance effects to custom and install compizconfig-settings-manager to change the control panel...
[20:06] <shade052> kranny: in su mode obviously
[20:06] <USCA> >	You are all invited to us & ca universities
[20:07] <linux1> serenityUK still not joy
[20:07] <soundray> zed_: where do you get that error?
[20:07] <zed_> install menu
[20:07] <jason_> ok help me with getting that package soundray is ther a link in the info you gave me above?
[20:07] <Bagualas> how do I block an user to use pen drivers/storage USB devices? Just uses keyboard and mouse usb?
[20:07] <zed_> just going to do the re-install, but wanted to know if I can do it without wiping the hd
[20:08] <soundray> jason_: no. Install it via synaptic
[20:08] <mkquist> zed_: did you define a root mount( / ) point?
[20:08] <Ballena> can anyone recommend me a good Mail Transfer Agent ?
[20:08] <zed_> yes
[20:08] <cmna> sigh.  3 long days of trying to get the graphics running right on this thing and no luck
[20:09] <kranny> shade052:no its not disconnecting my net
[20:09] <mkquist> zed_: installer still wants to reformat then?
[20:09] <kranny> i tried it just now
[20:09] <zed_> yes
[20:09] <fitztrev> How can I have rsync delete any folders/files in the destination that don't exist in the source?
[20:09] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337,   Songbird is good for music like iTunes  (although beta not finished)  and of course google earth runs in Linux
[20:09] <mkquist> zed_: maybe try the alternate install cd...
[20:09] <soundray> fitztrev: use the --delete option
[20:09] <shade052> kranny: how come. you did it in sudo right?
[20:09] <TeMagic> anybody know how to connect a bluetooth mouse in ubuntu?
[20:10] <kranny> yes
[20:10] <shade052> kranny: any error showing up?
[20:10] <mkquist> zed_: just used an alternate install cd and it asked if i wanted to install on previous unclean (or something along those lines) installation
[20:10] <jason_> i got it thanks
[20:10] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337,   you might want to try Flock the web browser which is like a newer version of Firefox for use with Youtube and facebook etc
[20:10] <jason_> lol
[20:10] <kranny> shade052:actually i connected through wvdial
[20:10] <soundray> !bluetooth > TeMagic, please read ubotu's private message
[20:10] <fitztrev> soundray: That's what I've been trying:  rsync -r --delete fol1/* fol2 -v      But it's not doing what I want
[20:10] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: cool, thanks for the recommendations
[20:11] <zed_> hmmm.... I can take root of my Ubuntu hd partition how can I tunnel the internet to it? so that apt-get can update, right now I get some X11 error
[20:11] <jason_> thanks soundray
[20:11] <Bagualas> how do I block an user to use pen drivers/storage USB devices? Just uses keyboard and mouse usb?
[20:11] <TeMagic> sorry, didn't see the private message... thanks
[20:11] <zed_> and thanks, I'll dl that disk
[20:11] <kranny> shade052:no error
[20:11] <soundray> fitztrev: perhaps you haven't got permission to delete files in fol2
[20:11] <kranny> shade052:i connected through wvdial
[20:11] <shade052> kranny: wvdial.. no idea!
[20:11] <jmantra> Can someone reccomend a good wireless card that can run in linux without NDIS wrapper?
[20:11] <TeMagic> allright then, that was actually easy, but the location of the setting wasn't logical in my mind, anyway, got it working, thanks
[20:12] <TeMagic> now, do any of you know of a program to control laptop fans?
[20:12] <kranny> shade052:i mean dialup connection
[20:12] <soundray> jmantra: the mini PCI cards with Intel 2200BG chipset work very well
[20:12] <shade052> kranny: do you have have ethernet attached or usb or something else
[20:13] <danand> TeMagic - if you have a dell machine i8kutils, i8kfan may help
[20:13] <jmantra> which ones have that chipset,I am going to best buy later to pick up one?
[20:13] <TeMagic> danand: thanks, I'll see if I find it
[20:13] <shade052> kranny: does wvdial have its own application to connect with?
[20:13] <kranny> shade052:dialup modem through usb
[20:14] <danand> TeMagic - That may only work for Dell laptops !!
[20:14] <danand> TeMagic - apt-cache pkgnames | grep i8k
[20:14] <soundray> kranny: consider setting up diald. It's fairly complex, but you can set up time-dependent dialup rules
[20:15] <fitztrev> soundray: permissions are fine on both folders.  still won't take
[20:15] <TeMagic> danand: I have a dell m1330... I found the program in synaptics... I'll try it out now... thank you...
[20:15] <kranny> shade052:wvdial is a internet dialer through terminal
[20:15] <danand> TeMagic - cool :)
[20:15] <kranny> Ctrl+c in the working terminal disconnects it
[20:15] <Ayabara> !bluetooth
[20:15] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[20:16] <mkquist> anyone know the command to find programs location? where?
[20:16] <shade052> kranny: find the process id and close the process
[20:16] <usr13_> mkquist: find or locate
[20:16] <danand> TeMagic - think command is something like i8kctrl .... options
[20:16] <TeMagic> danand: I got it from synaptics: now how do I run it? i8kutil in terminal did nothing
[20:16] <Starnestommy> mkquist: which program-name
[20:16] <usr13_> mkquist: which
[20:16] <usr13_> sorry
[20:16] <mkquist> which.. thats it ty
[20:16] <TeMagic> I think you just answered me while I was typing the question
[20:16] <TeMagic> I'll try it
[20:16] <mkquist> usr13_: ty
[20:16] <danand> TeMagic - beat you to it :D
[20:16] <TeMagic> :)
[20:17] <shade052> kranny: type ps -ef|grep wvdial. you will get the PID . then kill the pid!
[20:17] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: ive downloaded flock and songbird, but i dont know how to install them. its not going to be as easy as windows, is it :P
[20:17] <TeMagic> nah... i8kctrl : command not found
[20:17] <soundray> fitztrev: the manpage has a lengthy explanation. In short: don't use the * wildcard
[20:18] <fitztrev> soundray: ah yes! that worked.  thanks a bunch!
[20:18] <danand> TeMagic - try typing i8k and then try to auto complete with TAB - see what comes up
[20:18] <kranny> shade052:but daily i have to update crontab
[20:18] <kranny> with the pid
[20:18] <martin_> how to install emerald?
[20:18] <tyrone> hi by accident I deleted some files I had in a NTFS external drive what program can i use in ubuntu to recover them?
[20:19] <TeMagic> autio complete: nice function... thanks, I'll try it
[20:19] <K_Nine> mkquist: try which <file>
[20:19] <hsystemxX> martin,  sudo aptitude install emerald
[20:19] <martin_> ok
[20:19] <martin_> found it
[20:19] <TeMagic> nah... nothing comes up
[20:19] <martin_> what about apt-get?
[20:19] <zoli2k> Hi! How can I disable compiz? I enabled compiz in Desktop Effects, but after system upgrade the Desktop Effects application disappeared.
[20:19] <hsystemxX> use aptitude :) for this one
[20:19] <Ayabara> if it's connected via bluetooth, how can I browse my k810 phone in ubuntu?
[20:19] <hsystemxX> more complet.e
[20:19] <soundray> tyrone: ntfsundelete from the ntfsprogs package (never tried it though)
[20:19] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, if it is a .deb file you just double-click on it lol,   most things for ubuntu you set up a 3rd party repository and install through clicking in Synaptic that way it will update itself
[20:19] <shade052> kranny: well the method is crude. i agree. but anything that saves money is worth it. right. :)
[20:20] <tyrone> zoli2k, metacity --replace
[20:20] <danand> TeMagic - what package did you install with synaptics - i8kutils? i8kfan?
[20:20] <tyrone> soundray, thanks
[20:20] <kranny> shade052::P
[20:20] <martin_> i installed emerald
[20:20] <martin_> an got  no themes
[20:20] <zoli2k> tyrone: My problem is not replacing but disabling. I don't think it is effective to run this on every system start.
[20:20] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: oh right, i dled them from the official site and theyre in tar.gz format or something like that
[20:20] <hsystemxX> i believe the thems are,   sudo aptitude install emerald-themes
[20:21] <hsystemxX> but for themes go to www.gnome-look.org
[20:21] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, a repository is just a server with .deb files on it... like when you installed and got 185 updates   ubuntu software upgrades itself it's actually easier when you get used to it
[20:21] <martin_> I installed emerald, and its without themes, I go to fetch gpld themes
[20:21] <martin_> nothing happens
[20:21] <danand> TeMagic ....just getting my laptop ...
[20:21] <tyrone> zoli2k, sudo apt-get remove compiz
[20:21] <TeMagic> danand: i8kutil
[20:21] <hsystemxX> martin _, i believe the thems are,   sudo aptitude install emerald-themes
[20:21] <usr13_> SexyJames1337: Compiling from source is complicated.  You couldn't find pre-compiled packages?
[20:21] <shade052> kranny: you can try google to find how to disconnect USB devices from command prompt. that may be a more elegant solution
[20:21] <hsystemxX> martin_ , i believe the themes are,   sudo aptitude install emerald-themes
[20:21] <hsystemxX> but for themes go to www.gnome-look.org
[20:21] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, tar.qz is a zip file for source code.. you shouldn't need that
[20:21] <serenityUK> gz
[20:21] <danand> TeMagic - Just booting my laptop ... wait one
[20:22] <martin_> it says no candidate found
[20:22] <TeMagic> sure
[20:22] <hsystemxX> because they eliminated that package. after gutsy upgrade.
[20:22] <zoli2k> tyrone: will this change in my local gnome config files the default window manager?
[20:22] <hsystemxX> go to gnome-look.org
[20:22] <K_Nine> mkquist:  or you can try   type <program> in a terminal
[20:22] <hsystemxX> and download the themes.
[20:22] <martin_> ...
[20:22] <danand> TeMagic - fsck ... gonna be a while :)
[20:22] <martin_> so... how to get the temes
[20:22] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: oh right... hehe
[20:22] <tyrone> zoli2k, I am not sure ask again
[20:22] <martin_> themes*
[20:22] <TeMagic> :)
[20:22] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, hang on let me check the sites
[20:23] <hsystemxX> ***martin_, go to gnome-look.org and download the themes...
[20:23] <ety> how can i play .swf files on ubuntu
[20:23] <kapace> so, if i installed ubuntu without a bootloader, how can i boot to it?
[20:23] <bruenig> ety, try opening them in the browwser
[20:23] <ety> no its a file .swf
[20:23] <At0x0> Is it possible to have a different desktop background for each workspace/desk I have?
[20:23] <zoli2k> tyrone: the default window manager is set in some local config file. I am not sure that un-installing compiz will change my local config file from compiz to metacity.
[20:24] <ety> i want to play it on vlc or totem
[20:24] <ety> is there any player for .swf files
[20:24] <tyrone> zoli2k, I am not sure ask again so that some else answers your question
[20:24] <soundray> kapace: you can install grub after the fact. Just follow the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions from ubotu:
[20:24] <soundray> !grub | kapace
[20:24] <ubotu> kapace: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[20:24] <kapace> soundray: thanks lots
[20:24] <kapace> :D
[20:24] <martin_> I entered sudo apt-get install gnash
[20:24] <zoli2k> tyrone: Anyway, this is a solution. I will give a try. thanks a lot.
[20:24] <MrObvious> Do0zman: Sup. :p
[20:24] <usr13_> ety: I think .swf is flash or something like that?  Right?
[20:24] <martin_> but it didn't intall in firefox
[20:25] <usr13_> ety: Try firefox
[20:25] <ety> yes how can i play .swf files
[20:25] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, ok as these programs are new/beta you have got the right files but what I am about to tell you is not needed for most software, most is easier
[20:25] <tyrone> zoli2k, don't worry man
[20:25] <Starnestommy> ety: gnash?
[20:25] <ety> what firefox thats a browser
[20:25] <Ballena> does a MTA always send and recvive or is it common that I MTA could be built for just doing one thing?
[20:25] <usr13_> ety: Yes, you are correct.
[20:25] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: ok then
[20:26] <_Drax> is it normal that it caches 100MB of 256MB ram.. ? sometimes it only leaves about 10mb memfree... ?
[20:26] <ety> i have files that are .swf i want to play them on player
[20:26] <usr13_> ety: There are flash player plugins for firefox.
[20:26] <usr13_> ety: Use firefox
[20:26] <soundray> ety: just listen to usr13 and load your .swf file in firefox
[20:26] <danand> TeMagic - Ok, I have i8kctl, i8kfan, i8kmon, i8kbuttons
[20:26] <martin_> my usb stick isn't reconised in ubuntu its 4 gigs
[20:27] <soundray> before someone gets hurt
[20:27] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, if you have the .gz files in a safe  place such as your downloads folder just right-click on them and choose Extract Here  you should get two folders  Songbird and  flock...
[20:27] <kapace> soundray: if i install grub, will windows still be bootable?
[20:27] <martin_> !flash
[20:27] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues »
[20:27] <TeMagic> sudo apt-get install i8kctl ... can't find package
[20:27] <martin_> !flashissues
[20:27] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates.

[20:27] <soundray> kapace: yes. In most cases, your Windows installation will be identified and made accessible. If not, come back here to learn how to include it manually
[20:27] <K_Nine> ety:  you need macromedia flash
[20:28] <stradivarius> hi! i've got a problem: i have a new pc and  i can't configure my network (no ethernet  card found). My motherboard is an asus p5b-e and ethernet is integrated. Which module could i use? If someone could give an idea..,that would be fine.
[20:28] <kapace> soundray: alright sounds good :D
[20:28] <pike_> stradivarius: better luck searching ubuntuforums.org id say. worst case you spend 6 bucks on a nic
[20:28] <danand> TeMagic - i8kutils may only work for inspiron and latitude laptops :( - what model did you say you had again?
[20:28] <usr13_> stradivarius: lspci   tell us what NIC you have.
[20:28] <TeMagic> m1330... but i8kutils for windows works with my laptop...
[20:29] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: ok
[20:29] <palomer> hello

[20:29] <TeMagic> but how do I run the program after having downloaded it... I have no idea
[20:29] <databridge>  i have problems with obexftp and bluetooth
[20:29] <databridge>  it do not list the folders or anything on my mobile
[20:29] <databridge>  but i can transfer something
[20:29] <soundray> kapace: advance hint: the file /boot/grub/menu.lst determines what's on the grub menu. It has a commented sample entry for Windows, too.
[20:29] <databridge> gnome vfs works
[20:29] <databridge> over nautilus
[20:29] <FloodBot1> databridge: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:29] <usr13_> TeMagic: What program did you download?
[20:29] <MrObvious> !alternate
[20:29] <ubotu> The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD.  It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal

[20:37] <compy> frawfraw, wireless or wire?
[20:37] <danand> TeMagic - hold one - you may need to modprobe i8k...something...
[20:37] <TeMagic> usr13: there's nothing in the application menu
[20:38] <frawfraw> compy: wired
[20:38] <MrPockets_> I'm running a dual boot on this machine. XP on my 320 gig sATA, and Ubuntu on my 80 IDE
[20:38] <usr13_> frawfraw: ifconfig
[20:38] <MrPockets_> but if i have to reinstall XP
[20:38] <MrPockets_> will that fuck up the boot loader?
[20:38] <shade052> Do0zman: are you on amd?
[20:38] <compy> frawfraw, hmm not sure i use wireless and i had problems with nm-applet so i went to wicd
[20:38] <usr13_> frawfraw: Call your ISP
[20:38] <compy> yeah probally your service
[20:39] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: im back, ive moved the files from my temp directory

[20:39] <danand> TeMagic - try sudo modprobe i8* and see what the output is
[20:39] <frawfraw> usr13_: its not my service.. because the windows box works fine.. and always has worked fine.  if i dl a torrent or transfer files from the windows box, the result is the same.
[20:40] <usr13_> frawfraw: Ane what client application are you using to download the files.
[20:40] <sev____> Guys, shouldn't Ubuntu users manually install Code::Blocks nightly builds? They are installed automaticly trough update manager am I right?
[20:40] <frawfraw> usr13_: nautilus, scp, azeurus... always the same.. it works fine then craps out.  i even changed network cards to one that i know works in linux boxes
[20:40] <TeMagic> module i8* not found
[20:41] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, ok the files you double click on to run are   yourhome/Songbird/songbird     and   yourhome/flock/flock       you will probably want to setup a launcher on your desktop to run them easier..  give them a try then I can help you with that
[20:41] <usr13_> frawfraw: what are you downloading?  An iso image, or what?
[20:41] <danand> TeMagic - hmmm....
[20:41] <frawfraw> usr13_: some files from the old computer, mp3s, movies, whichever...  its just unreliable
[20:42] <Boglizk> How do i set .torrents to be opened with Transmission by default?
[20:42] <h6mi1007> hello
[20:42] <danand> TeMagic - try sudo modprobe i8k and see what happens - no implied warrenty for use of that suggestion ... etc :)
[20:43] <danand> *warranty!
[20:43] <usr13_> frawfraw: So, it's not the internet that stops working, it is a problem on your LAN, right?
[20:43] <TeMagic> sudo apt-get -s install i8kutils
[20:43] <TeMagic> sorry
[20:43] <frawfraw> usr13_: it doesnt matter if its a big file, or lots of small files... a fast dl like network transfer or a slow dl like a torrent... just after a while it stops working.
[20:43] <TeMagic> wrong texrt
[20:43] <frawfraw> usr13_: not a lan problem, the network still works fine

[20:45] <pike_> SexyJames1337: to make a file hidden mv file .file
[20:45] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: also, should i install vlc, as thats a useful program... i think i should be able to work that one out

[20:48] <frawfraw2> ubotu: mute
[20:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mute - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[20:48] <softwork> hi, how i change in aspell language to spell??
[20:49] <rsk> sure paule118 :)
[20:49] <Flare183> !botabuse | frawfraw2
[20:49] <ubotu> frawfraw2: please see above
[20:49] <danand> TeMagic - Just to double check - sudo modprobe i8k
[20:49] <paule118> thanls
[20:49] <softwork> hi, how i change in aspell language to check?? i use english idiom for system but i need to check language PT-pt
[20:49] <paule118> thanks
[20:49] <frawfraw2> usr13_: you mean the router?  a zyxel prestige 600
[20:49] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, yes VLC is good if you have problems but the default video player is good because it's better at skipping forward/back when you drag the bar in real time.. VLC skips when you let go it anoys me.
[20:50] <frawfraw2> usr13_: but all the same activities work fine on the windowz box
[20:50] <paule118> sss
[20:50] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: ah, i see
[20:50] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, if you click on a file that needs codecs ubuntu will automatically get them for you ... you might need the password
[20:50] <neverblue> serenityUK, u can set the hot keys in VLC
[20:51] <prakriti> anybody here use kiba-dock?
[20:51] <neverblue> !anyone | prakriti
[20:51] <ubotu> prakriti: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[20:51] <prakriti> hehe, nice
[20:51] <prakriti> thanks neverblue
[20:51] <softwork> hi, how i change in aspell language to check?? i use english idiom for system but i need to check language PT-pt
[20:51] <Tygir> !wireless | tygir
[20:51] <Tygir> nothing?
[20:51] <Tygir> dang....i can connect to my router, then over time it seems that i loose the signal...any ideas?
[20:51] <serenityUK> neverblue, yes but you know what i mean with the progress bar thingy?  when you drag in totem it moves in realtime... VLC and WMP etc you have to let go to jump to part of a film
[20:51] <neverblue> prakriti, please keep it to one line, thanks
[20:51] <TeMagic> danand:  sudo modprobe i8k force=1 worked
[20:51] <turbocueca> Hello people, can someone help me in what concers seeing movies with ubuntu
[20:51] <TeMagic> now what?
[20:51] <neverblue> serenityUK, yes, I know what you mean
[20:52] <usr13_> frawfraw2: What NIC are you using?
[20:52] <paule118> wer345
[20:52] <frawfraw2> usr13_: how can I find out the exact specs?
[20:52] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, what happend with songbird?
[20:52] <neverblue> turbocueca, ask away, keeping the question on one line, thanks
[20:52] <danand> TeMagic - :) Ok - now try lsmod and see if i8k is there
[20:52] <prakriti> anyway...  So does anybody know how to make the notification area in kiba-dock have a transperent backgroun?
[20:52] <usr13_> frawfraw2: lspci
[20:52] <turbocueca> The problem is that when I open a avi/mpg or any other video file, it just shows a green screen with some pink pixeis, no matter what player I use....
[20:52] <turbocueca> neverblue, right
[20:53] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: i originally didnt extract it properly, i apologise
[20:53] <frawfraw2> Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02)
[20:53] <frawfraw2> but that sounds wrong.. its a 3com something
[20:53] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: i can open the files and it asks if i should open it in terminal, should i do that?
[20:53] <prakriti> I have seen screenshots of tray areas on kiba-dock where the icons were nice and pretty looking and not on a gray blob
[20:53] <serenityUK> click run
[20:53] <usr13_> frawfraw2: ethtool eth0
[20:53] <frawfraw2> usr13_: one sec
[20:53] <palomer> I have 3 gigs of ram
[20:53] <usr13_> frawfraw2: ethtool eth1
[20:53] <palomer> do I really need a swap partition?
[20:54] <danand> TeMagic - lsmod | grep i8k ??
[20:54] <TeMagic> danand:  yes it is
[20:54] <frawfraw2> usr13_: "no such device"
[20:54] <usr13_> frawfraw2: ethtool eth0
[20:54] <frawfraw2> usr13_: eth0 -- "no such device"
[20:54] <usr13_> frawfraw2: ifconfig
[20:54] <soundray> palomer: yes.
[20:54] <danand> TeMagic - your i8k module is loaded??
[20:54] <frawfraw2> eth1 -- "operation not permitted"
[20:54] <TeMagic> danand:  yes
[20:55] <usr13_> frawfraw2: sudo  ethtool eth0
[20:55] <softwork> hi, how i change in aspell language to check?? i use english idiom for system but i need to check language PT-pt
[20:55] <danand> TeMagic - cool - now try ls /proc/i8k
[20:55] <BwackNinja> palomer: its always a good idea, but if you worry about having too many partitions, especially in a dual boot situation, you don't need it
[20:55] <TheFishy> I installed arch on my gaming machine and used ubuntu for gaming on a different computer... I learned very quickly that wine and multi-platform games will not hold a true gamers crave for fun.
[20:55] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: ok, it looks like i installed songbird, it installed quite easily.
[20:55] <soundray> palomer: you need a 3GB one if you want to be able to hibernate. Also, it's good to have one to avoid programs crashing due to out-of-memory conditions (which happen even on 3GB systems)
[20:55] <frawfraw2> usr13_: sudo ethtool eth0 - no such device
[20:55] <TeMagic> danand:  nothing happened
[20:55] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: flock however, i clicked run and nothing happened
[20:55] <frawfraw2> usr13_: sudo ethtool eth1 - gives information but nothing specific
[20:55] <sanozuke> hey
[20:56] <usr13_> frawfraw2: ifconfig
[20:56] <danand> TeMagic - uh oh!
[20:56] <palomer> BwackNinja: thanks!
[20:56] <paule118> 1278 USER ????????????????
[20:56] <Sarloth> paule118: 1281
[20:56] <TeMagic> it just says /proc/i8k on a new line in the terminal
[20:56] <Flare183> paule118: that includes you
[20:56] <frawfraw2> usr13_: ifconfig shows eth1 and lo.  eth1 says nothing about the net card... but it shows my ip and proper behaviour
[20:57] <danand> TeMagic - Thats GOOD - it means its there :)
[20:57] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, the first time it takes a second then it pops up a wizard which asks if you want to import your firefox bookmarks?
[20:57] <frawfraw2> usr13_: sorry... nothing SPECIFIC about the net card
[20:57] <Tyczek> Do you know if there is package for mpd (including aac support?)
[20:57] <usr13_> frawfraw2: So, I wonder what happened to eth0?
[20:57] <Sarloth> frawfraw2: did you try iwconfig?
[20:57] <usr13_> frawfraw2: ifconfig eth0
[20:57] <Flare183> !who | Tyczek
[20:57] <ubotu> Tyczek: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[20:57] <ompaul> !test
[20:57] <ubotu> Failed.
[20:57] <ompaul> %test
[20:57] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, not run in terminal    run on the right
[20:57] <TeMagic> danand:  all right... so far so good then?
[20:57] <frawfraw2> usr13_: eth0 might be the onboard network card, which didnt work under ubuntu
[20:57] <usr13_> Sarloth: He said it is a wired connection.
[20:57] <danand> TeMagic - try cat /proc/i8k - see what happens
[20:58] <Flare183> wow
[20:58] <Tyczek> Flare183, I'm asking whole channel ;)
[20:58] <frawfraw2> usr13_: ifconfig eht0 "error fetching device info"
[20:58] <Flare183> Tyczek: that's ok just saying
[20:58] <Sarloth> usr12_: ah

[20:59] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: yeh, im pressing just Run, but nothing happens, strange.
[20:59] <ompaul> TeMagic, ?
[20:59] <usr13_> frawfraw2: what did lspci say?
[20:59] <Flare183> TeMagic: what the mess?
[20:59] <TeMagic> cat /proc/i8k
[20:59] <danand> TeMagic - cracked it :) Try typing i8kctl in a terminal
[20:59] <Flare183> TeMagic: wha?
[20:59] <usr13_> frawfraw2: lspci -vv
[20:59] <usr13_> frawfraw2: Should list two NICs

[20:59] <TeMagic> Flare183:  a reply to danadns question... I forgot to add the nick first, sorry
[20:59] <danand> Flare183 - output of cat /proc/i8k :)
[21:00] <soundray> ompaul, Flare183: TeMagic was answering danand's question
[21:00] <daugustine_> is there an ubuntu help with networking or irc channel?
[21:00] <Flare183> oh ok gotcha
[21:00] <frawfraw2> usr13_: and Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02)
[21:00] <usr13_> frawfraw2: Is that the onbard one or the ....
[21:00] <shade052> SexyJames1337: do you have any graphics related restricted drivers on your comp? if so have you installed them? may be it will help!
[21:00] <frawfraw2> usr13_: so the 3com is the pci
[21:00] <Flare183> daugustine_: ask here my friend
[21:00] <TeMagic> danand:  1.0 (null) 6QKP53J 55 -1 2 27660 130560 0 -1
[21:01] <usr13_> frawfraw2: So you are connected via the 3com ?
[21:01] <paladin_> is there a console image viewer?
[21:01] <frawfraw2> usr13_: yea
[21:01] <daugustine_> okay, well the issue is, is that after so long, irc will kinda flake out, and I won't be able to connect to any irc servers
[21:01] <soundray> paladin_: zgv (requires svgalib)
[21:01] <daugustine_> if i reboot, I'm fine
[21:01] <TeMagic> danand:  but here's the good part, after having loaded the i8k using modprobe force=1, my fan is spinning much slower:) Dunno why.....
[21:01] <ompaul> daugustine_, you should not have to reboot, if you are loosing your lease in dhcp you will fall off irc for about 20 mins
[21:02] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, maybe if you run it by typing it will print some error msg...  open a terminal Applications->Accessories->Terminal  and  type  ./flock/flock     if you put the flock folder in home
[21:02] <chris710> can you help me?gdesklets doesn't work with compiz...
[21:02] <ompaul> daugustine_, or forever depending on the client
[21:02] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: sorry, my internet died there
[21:02] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: im back
[21:02] <daugustine_> ompaul, is there anyway to prevent that from happening?
[21:03] <blizzkid> does anyone know of a Mailman alternative that can be installed without having to be root? (on a shared hosting)
[21:03] <danand> TeMagic - ok :) that means its working. Use man i8kctl or i8kfan to see how to control your fans - In order to use the i8kutils every time you boot, you need to add the line i8k to your /etc/modules file - just not sure how to do that force=1 from within there though - you may want to ask the others about that
[21:03] <sharperguy> can anyone help me get my GLX extension back?
[21:03] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: as i was saying, the flock file is a shell script whereas the songbird file was an executable, so have i got the right one?
[21:03] <Xtrato> Could anyone here help me with a (hopefully) small problem im having with installing ubuntu :) ?
[21:03] <Flare183> !ask | Xtrato
[21:03] <ubotu> Xtrato: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[21:03] <ompaul> daugustine_, it is up to whatever leases your ip to you
[21:03] <Tobias92> Dear ubuntu people, this is rather odd: Whether I use totem, vlc or mplayer, the video always shows as a pink screen that doesn't change, while my video drivers are installed correctly. What could cause this
[21:03] <TeMagic> so, my bluetooth mouse is fixed and my fan is spinning slower... though I do not have direct control, I'm happy... I'll see if it's working after a reboot,
[21:03] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, i think the script runs the binary for you
[21:03] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, maybe if you run it by typing it will print some error msg...  open a terminal Applications->Accessories->Terminal  and  type  ./flock/flock     if you put the flock folder in home
[21:04] <TeMagic> if not, I'll add i8k to /etc/modules
[21:04] <TeMagic> thanks for the help
[21:04] <TeMagic> much appriciated
[21:04] <Flare183> Tobias92: compiz maybe
[21:04] <ompaul> !codecs | Tobias92 (about 90% certain this is the problem)
[21:04] <ubotu> Tobias92 (about 90% certain this is the problem): 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
[21:04] <Flare183> Tobias92: that is if you are using that
[21:04] <danand> TeMagic - remember to ask about that force=1 option
[21:04] <soundray> Tobias92: not sure, but try another output plugin with mplayer. Get a list with 'mplayer -vo help'
[21:04] <shade052> blizzkid: you have to be root to install ANYTHING!!
[21:04] <danand> TeMagic - No problem
[21:04] <ompaul> !root | shade052
[21:04] <ubotu> shade052: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[21:04] <usr13_> frawfraw2: modprobe sis190
[21:04] <daugustine_> ompaul, in my router, Client Lease Time is set to 86400 s, would changing that help
[21:04] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, it's only a fancy web browser anyway.. Firefox is fine but it's cool if you use social websites like YouTube, flickr, de.licio.us, facebook etc.. you add your accounts and have them integrated into the browser, plus the interface is much nicer
[21:04] <chris710> how can i install widgets with compiz because it doesn't work with gdesklets?
[21:04] <usr13_> frawfraw2: sudo modprobe sis190
[21:04] <Tobias92> Flare183, they worked correctly before :(
[21:04] <ompaul> !rootsudo | blizzkid
[21:04] <ubotu> blizzkid: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[21:05] <blizzkid> shade052, that's utter nonsense
[21:05] <TeMagic> danand:  Yes, I will.... thank you! :æ9 bye bye
[21:05] <usr13_> frawfraw2: lspci | grep  sis190
[21:05] <SexyJames1337> serenityUK: oh right. well there are instructions on the site, so im going to attempt to follow them
[21:05] <usr13_> frawfraw2: lspci | grep  sis19
[21:05] <sharperguy> ubotu, I know you're a bot but I really have to complain about that matrix reference
[21:05] <blizzkid> ompaul, I can't use sudo on the shared hosting
[21:05] <Flare183> Tobias92: then it could be your video card or maybe your videos's cards memory
[21:05] <frawfraw2> usr13_: nothing at all happens
[21:05] <usr13_> frawfraw2: locate sis19
[21:06] <Tobias92> Flare183 and soundray, it works with opengl2 output, thanks :)
[21:06] <serenityUK> SexyJames1337, do you want to setup a shortcut for Songbird then you can do it for flock later if you get it running?
[21:06] <Flare183> Tobias92: no problem
[21:06] <frawfraw2> nibbles@nibbles-desktop:~$ locate sis19
[21:06] <Xtrato> Basicly im having what seems to be a common problem with the ubuntu install. an error message appears when i select to start or install ubuntu that says "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" Ive looked for solutions and theres a command i need to input but im not sure where as i only have a few options that i can do from the disk.
[21:06] <prakriti> fd0?
[21:06] <chris710> who can help me? PLEASE
[21:06] <prakriti> try disabling your floppy
[21:06] <prakriti> in the bios
[21:06] <frawfraw2> -/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic/include/config/sis190.h
[21:06] <Flare183> fdo = floppy drive
[21:07] <frawfraw2> -/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/sis190.ko
[21:07] <ompaul> blizzkid, I think the installing on shared hosting is more the issue than anything else
[21:07] <Flare183> fd0 = floppy drive (correction)
[21:07] <frawfraw2> usr13_: and thats it
[21:07] <Flare183> brb
[21:07] <Xtrato> I have disabled the floppy device from the BIOS allready and it still occours
[21:07] <sharperguy> can anyone help me get my GLX extension back? I have nvidia-glx installed and running but nothing will work. I think this has been happening since I installed and removed KDE4
[21:07] <usr13_> frawfraw2: sudo modprobe sis190
