[15:44] <robinsmidsrod> have anyone noticed that file -i -b test.doc sometimes returns '\012- application/msword' (without quotes) when it should return 'application/msword' (and sometimes actually the excel mimetype)?
[15:44] <genii> noHDfound: I'd try setting your SATA controller to "Compatibility Mode" or so in bios
[15:44] <J_P> is possible upgrade ubuntu from CD or only via apt?
[15:44] <noHDfound> genii with a kernel parameter at boot?
[15:44] <cellofellow> J_P: yes, you can upgrade from the Alternate CD.
[15:44] <sid> The xorg.conf on 8.04 (which works) shows Driver "fglrx" and in Section Module Load "glx", but the 8.10 xorg.conf just shows Configured Video Device and no Driver line
[15:44] <n8tuser> jedimind -> otherwise we'll give you partial info also
[15:44] <robinsmidsrod> any idea where to start looking to figure out why it gives this error?
[15:44] <Jimi_Neutral> Can someone help with a corrupt NTFS partition please
[15:44] <genii> noHDfound: No, with DEL or F1 key or whatever you obtain your BIOS screen with
[15:44] <J_P> cellofellow: how I do that ?
[15:44] <sid> @Picassotamus: The xorg.conf on 8.04 (which works) shows Driver "fglrx" and in Section Module Load "glx", but the 8.10 xorg.conf just shows Configured Video Device and no Driver line

[15:45] <Ropechoborra> n8tuser, whats the meaning of 'coy' ? sorry bad english :$
[15:45] <jedimind> n8tuser: thats all that was displayed when i ran it that was related to wireless, the rest of the info was for my network nic
[15:45] <lollies> porter1: oh and i dont have updated ClamAV....how i can update it ?
[15:45] <jedimind> anyway, i'll paste the whole thing if it helps
[15:45] <cellofellow> J_P: download or use ShipIt and burn, stick it in, and Synaptic should detect an APT CD and offer to upgrade. The CLI way is to use sudo apt-cdrom add; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
[15:45] <lollies> porter1: theres update button but he say that i need to run it as root and i dont know how
[15:45] <n8tuser> jedimind -> i need all the info, to give you a better advise, including your ethernet,
[15:46] <jedimind> now that i ran it again, it gave me different info for some reason
[15:46] <jedimind> hrm
[15:46] <Picassotamus> sid: Perhaps  you need to get the binary ati driver for 8.10 then
[15:46] <J_P> cellofellow: ok
[15:46] <porter1> lollies, figure out the command for starting the ClamAV GUi, then press alt+F2 and type gksu "name of program"
[15:46] <nikos> /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)

[15:47] <nikos> is there a way to rename /dev/sda3 to /sda1 ?
[15:47] <NekroJakub> Aloush: There may be women here too, ya know.
[15:47] <Jimi_Neutral> can someone please help me with a problem with CLonezilla?
[15:47] <lollies> porter1: thank you

[15:47] <sid> Picassotamus: Do you mean the fglrx driver?

[15:47] <genii> nikos: The short answer is no
[15:47] <Aloush> I am thinking of switching to ubuntu last time i had the problem of swicthing sound devices from ym speakers to ym headset is there an easy way to do this?

[15:48] <cptblood> how can i solve this? i cannot get the remote to work
[15:48] <wtv> Aloush: you can use kmix
[15:48] <J_P> cellofellow: thanks ;-)
[15:48] <oCean_> nikos: use the UUID of drives/partitions to uniquely identify them (or filesystem labels)
[15:48] <Aloush> Kmix can i easily switch with that?
[15:48] <wtv> Aloush: also gnome also mixer
[15:48] <cellofellow> J_P: all good then?
[15:48] <Picassotamus> sid: That would be my guess
[15:48] <n8tuser> jedimind -> iwlist
[15:49] <nikos> genii: soem months ago hdd were called hda/hdb now whya re they called sda and sdb ?
[15:49] <Ropechoborra> jedimind, I think you may try " sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "the name of the wlan" (that appears on the iwlist scan)
[15:49] <wtv> Aloush: if your headphones are detected and all sound devices work, then yes. but you'll have to do it manually everytime you take a switch.
[15:49] <nikos> hda mean hard drive a
[15:49] <sid> OK. Thanks for now! I'll dive into this. I like the laptop and wouldn't want to give it back just because a temporary prob with X
[15:49] <nikos> sda means what? scsi ?
[15:49] <cptblood> niko: hd = ide , sd = sata

[15:50] <n8tuser> jedimind -> thats a partial info i gave you because you didnt provide all info requested
[15:50] <genii> nikos: All drives use now the SCSI layer of driver, so are named in that way like old SCSI designations of sdX  and not old IDE way of hdX
[15:50] <azlon> SPF: that's it?
[15:50] <jedimind> n8tuser: ..... i pasted exactly everything you asked for ....
[15:50] <SPF> azlon: probably
[15:50] <MyWay> somebody knows a way to empty the trash when i shutdown?
[15:50] <scarter4> yeah I remember when it was /dev/hda*, now it's always /dev/sda*
[15:50] <nikos> cptblood: you mean that if i insalled linux with an ide cable ububntu will call it hda again?
[15:50] <n8tuser> jedimind -> kindly paste the whole results of   sudo lshw -C network;
[15:50] <cptblood> yes
[15:50] <jedimind> i did!

I wouldn't want to be stuck to 8.04 forever.....

[15:57] <cptblood> RedMushroom: install ubuntu from xp
[15:57] <n8tuser> jedimind -> add these lines to that file     iface wlan0 inet dhcp; wireless-essid youAPnamehere;  auto wlan0    then redo that ifdown/ifup routine
[15:57] <nikos> sivik: cant we unmount the partition and then remount them under different mount points?
[15:57] <Zubuntu> Ok so i uninstalled python, and now on boot i get a red * with a no suitable kernal module found
[15:57] <sid> Picassotamus: And I still have the option to give the notebook back and I'm really considering this...
[15:57] <cptblood> JEDIDIAH__: where were you in the mid/late 90's?
[15:57] <RedWar> Yes, there happen to be .IFO files inovlved as well, but to convert these files to mP3.
[15:57] <oCean_> Mer53: ask away. I someone knows the answer, most likely, they will reply
[15:57] <RedMushroom> cptblood: how? i can't even get the comp to read the cd-rom after i burn the iso to it
[15:57] <Picassotamus> sid: Ok, nothing wrong w/ trying different distributions... but what are you talking about re losing dual-card support? You just need to get a different driver loaded. Is proprietary so afaik its not loaded by default, its really easy to do, look at the link i sent you
[15:58] <JEDIDIAH__> Jedi was in the civilized world.
[15:58] <jedimind> n8tuser: so if i said 'pastebin please' id be the dick right ?
[15:58] <cptblood> ah, so your cd-rom is fubar?
[15:58] <NekroJakub> Mer53: If you want to try Ubuntu on Windows without reformatting, try Wubi

[15:58] <ubunewbie> greetings all, i've just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my other computer and it boots to command line rather than grub. can anyone help?
[15:58] <RedMushroom> it works on any other computer

[15:59] <Jimi_Neutral> I am trying to do a clone of an XP installation. This box is ubuntu and I am using clonezilla. Everything has been set up right.

It then gives me two options, neithe rof which I can understand. Is there anyone who uses Clonezilla
[15:59] <Jimi_Neutral>  here that has come across this problem and knows how to sort it?
[15:59] <sid> Picassotamus: In the link they talk about installing the proprietary driver from the restricted hardware manager which is a gtk program. This option isn't available if I have to install via text-mode and then get thrown to the console without being able to start X...
[15:59] <jedimind> n8tuser: "youAPnamehere" is that the logical name that was displayed in lshw ?
[15:59] <RedMushroom> i just need to know what i need to do to create a floppy disk that i can use to bootstrap this old box with
[15:59] <RedMushroom> so i can install from the cd-rom
[15:59] <jedimind> oh access point....
[15:59] <n8tuser> jedimind -> AP is your access point
[15:59] <NekroJakub> Mer53: Well, I don't what software you're currently using, but googling for linux alternatives of 'em would be a good start...
[15:59] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, what are the two options?
[16:00] <cptblood> sry, dont know that
[16:00] <Bulkior> hi, does someone know a solution to the "power-off" problem (can't power off completely on ubuntu installed on a laptop)
[16:00] <RedWar> JediDAH_ ok, so if I use Mencoder/ or Menplayer, there is an option for conversion?
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> envyng will setup ati and nvidia drivers and runs in a console.
[16:00] <jedimind> n8tuser: why would i hardcode the access point? .... im on a business trip i have like 12 different APs i need to connect to ....
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> mencoder is the converter version of mplayer.
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> mencoder has more options than you can handle.
[16:00] <Mer53> I use gimp on windows and noticed it is part of the package ..cool, will nero install on Ubunty 8.10?
[16:00] <Jimi_Neutral> 1. Try to boot the template machine into MS Windows and run CHKDSK /f or chkdsk /p /r then reboot it twice.
[16:00] <erUSUL> jedimind: then you should be using network manager ....
[16:00] <jedimind> I AM
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> just use k3b, you don't need nero
[16:00] <jedimind> BUT ITS NOT FUCKING WORKING
[16:00] <Jimi_Neutral> 2. try to let clonezilla use ntfsfix which isnt recomended
[16:00] <jedimind> jesus christ
[16:01] <RichW> does "tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors" mean it has ignored the file it could not read and archived the rest?
[16:01] <Bulkior> hi, does someone know a solution to the "power-off" problem (can't power off completely on ubuntu installed on a laptop)
[16:01] <n8tuser> jedimind -> because nm dont work sometimes, its not too difficult to change it,
[16:01] <sipior> pleasant fellow
[16:01] <macrusher> hello 2 all, my wpa2 encoded wlan network fails to reconnect after suspending. when I have the pwd displayed it is a different one as I provided. but after reboot it is fine... anybody got a clue?
[16:01] <RedMushroom> anybody know how to create a startup disk for ubuntu, so i can install it from a cd-rom?
[16:01] <nado> RedMushroom, here http://linux.simple.be/tools/sbm
[16:02] <NekroJakub> Mer53: I'd google, but I don't think so. Btw, if you want to get someone's attention, spell out his nickname in your message
[16:02] <JEDIDIAH__> "install from a cdrom"? sounds like any ISO out there.
[16:02] <Mer53> or is the preinstalled or  ..........god you guys are way too good at typing ......... I cant keep up with anything you guys say!    does it slow down here at all?
[16:02] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: first option sounds like your best bet
[16:02] <nado> RedMushroom, and this for the howto https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto
[16:02] <Jimi_Neutral> I dont know which is the template machine...if it is the one with clonezilla on that doesnt even have windows on it and if it is the other one that im taking the image from how can there be a corrupt NTFS partition when it is woeking fine
[16:02] <arvind_khadri> RedMushroom,  system-> administration 0> create a usb startup
[16:02] <RedMushroom> nado: ok, but what boot image am i going to need?
[16:02] <JEDIDIAH__> ...that usb key bood disk generator is really cool.
[16:02] <RedMushroom> can't use a USB stick, the box doesn't support it
[16:02] <nado> RedMushroom, boot from floppy and keep your cd in there
[16:02] <Mer53> ty NekroJakub .........good point, but I think Ill try more googling and come back when I have a more specific problem
[16:02] <RedMushroom> the box only supports booting from the floopy
[16:03] <nado> RedMushroom, if your CD was burned properly it should detect it
[16:03] <RedMushroom>  nado: yeah, but i need to know what to do
[16:03] <NekroJakub> Mer53: Yeah, good luck.
[16:03] <RedMushroom> i've read those pages you linked to, and it doesn't make any since to me
[16:03] <RedWar> JEDIDAH_ Thanks man I' ll try Mencoder, and thanks all for help.
[16:03] <nado> RedMushroom, and allow you to boot from it
[16:03] <JEDIDIAH__> quit abusing time travel for the purposes of finding cheap PC hardware.
[16:03] <nado> RedMushroom, you've read them before or you read them just now ?
[16:03] <RedMushroom> any they're also for USB's for the most part
[16:03] <RedMushroom> yes, i was in here yesterday
[16:03] <Jimi_Neutral> is the template machine the one i am taknig the image form
[16:04] <Jimi_Neutral> from*
[16:04] <NekroJakub> Does anyone here know how can I set up my OpenOffice as sort of an exception for my custom desktop theme? Because I changed my desktop theme to black background, white text and now it's the same in OpenOffice, not very practical for printing...
[16:04] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, a corrupt partition doesn't necessarily preclude the operating system from functioning. it's just that clonezilla has found the error and refuses to do any more damage by copying it :-) a number of linux boxes will show minor filesystem damage when examined with fsck, but work perfectly well.
[16:04] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: yes, the template machine is the one providing the image.
[16:04] <RedMushroom> and it seems that nobody understand what i'm asking
[16:04] <nado> RedMushroom, i'm sorry man, but the howto is straight forward
[16:04] <admin_masu3701> what is the best language to write scripts?
[16:04] <nado> it tells you exactly step by step how to do it... if you can't follow that.. nobody will help you..
[16:04] <RedMushroom> I NEED TO USE AN XP BOX TO CREATE A 3 and 1/4" STARTUP FLOPPY TO GET ANOTHER BOX TO INSTALL FROM A CD-ROM!!
[16:05]  * RedMushroom is getting really frustrated
[16:05] <porter1> admin_masu3701, whichever is most comfortable
[16:05] <oCean_> RedMushroom: drop the caps!
[16:05] <mojian> ..
[16:05] <porter1> I prefer python of perl
[16:05] <nado> RedMushroom, that's what the howto does !!!
[16:05] <Jimi_Neutral> sipior: crap lol
[16:05] <porter1> Some peolp like bash scripting
[16:05] <RedWar> Don't get frustrated Redmushroom, patience is a virtue.. :)
[16:05] <Jimi_Neutral> How can three different machines all be corrupt
[16:05] <ubunewbie> hello all, i need to set up a dual boot system should i install ubuntu first or xp first
[16:06] <nado> RedMushroom, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManager
[16:06] <RedWar> Did I say something wrong?
[16:06] <RedWar> He quit
[16:06] <hatter243> ubunewbie, xp
[16:06] <oCean_> RedWar: don't worry
[16:06] <nado> man some people want help without the minimum effort of following a guide
[16:06] <Tcl> hello ....How i  set up my netstick internet (usb) ?
[16:06] <Jimi_Neutral> set up xp forst
[16:06] <Ropechoborra> ubunewbie, I think is better to install windows first, if you install it after ubuntu Windows will erease the mbr and install its own
[16:06] <ubunewbie> hatter243, thanks
[16:07] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, the problem may lie with clonezilla, i suppose. you can try partimage, see if that works better for you.
[16:07] <Jimi_Neutral> it is fussier
[16:07] <hacker> hi. i bad speak english.
[16:07] <RedWar> Thanks Ocean, yes I hear you Nado.
[16:07] <Jimi_Neutral> I have tried to download the partimage package earlier and it wouldnt download. Says package cannot be found
[16:07] <hacker> :( you have a Maple 11 for linux?
[16:07] <Jimi_Neutral> which was anothe problem
[16:07] <Ropechoborra> hacker, wich lenguage do you speak? :)
[16:08] <tonymcm> Jimi - Try parted
[16:08] <hacker> russian) русский
[16:08] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: you might check if clonezilla has a forum or the like, see if anyone else has reported the same problem. i assume google was silent on your issue as well?
[16:08] <Jeruvy> !info parted
[16:08] <Jimi_Neutral> thats  probably what it is, for some reason i cant download dbrl-partimage dbrl-ntfsprogs dbrl-chntpw and dbrl-lzop
[16:08] <Ropechoborra> !ru | hacker
[16:08] <Ropechoborra> Hope that helps
[16:08] <Jimi_Neutral> yeah google came up with things but it was all from a live instance of Clonezilla
[16:09] <hacker> thank)
[16:09] <zilleplus> hey someone knows how to install a 5.1 serround i got the drivers of it installed and tested it but don't know how to use it in a programme
[16:09] <ubunewbie> hatter243, is it worth installing ubuntu 9.04 yet?
[16:09] <onats> definitely!
[16:09] <onats> don't hesitate
[16:09] <Jimi_Neutral> couldnt find package dbrl-partimage......wth
[16:10] <Ropechoborra> Why to rush?
[16:10] <nado> onats, do you have an nvidia card ?
[16:10] <onats> ATI
[16:10] <hatter243> ubunewbie, I think not if you're a newbie. I would get used to linux now and then reinstall in April
[16:10] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: it's just called partimage, yes?
[16:10] <Jimi_Neutral> dbrl-partimage
[16:10] <nado> onats, ok was wondering how the update goes with nvidia
[16:10] <onats> had a lot of problems with nvidia card before 8.10
[16:10] <hemanth> which is the best method to recompile linux kernel ?
[16:10] <onats> got fed up, bought an ATI card
[16:10] <tonymcm> Jimi - simply "parted"
[16:10] <nado> onats, it's fine now :)
[16:10] <oCean_> ubunewbie: I agree with hatter243. Still enough breakage in 9.04 to make life difficult.
[16:10] <[pablo]> I have trouble with my ALPS touchpad from my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10. Synaptics module gets uploaded fine when I start gnome, but it complains that it can't find atouchpad
[16:11] <Picassotamus> !kernelcompile | hemanth
[16:11] <[pablo]> so vertical scrolling won't work
[16:11] <ubunewbie> cool, thanks guys
[16:11] <RassBariaw> I used Wubi to install Ubuntu on a Vista machine without a partition and the dualboot worked fine; then I used CCleaner, which found one item, which I deleted, and now the dualboot does not work; how do I check that GRUB is set correctly or how do I repair GRUB?  I suspect that item deleted by CCleaner altered how GRUB functions.
[16:11] <hemanth> Picassotamus, try and failed :(
[16:11] <sipior> tonymcm: i'm fairly certain parted only edits partition tables, and doesn't duplicate partitions like partimage does. or has that changed recently?
[16:11] <arvind_khadri> !grub | RassBariaw
[16:12] <divoxx> any tips on how to get ImageMagick to properly work with JPG images?
[16:12] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: on my 8.10 system, the package is partimage. which are you running?
[16:12] <nado> [pablo], but moving the mouse does ?
[16:12] <Jimi_Neutral> well the thing is i followed a tutorial on how to install Clonezilla and it had a list of progs needed to run
[16:12] <Jimi_Neutral> im running 8.10
[16:12] <tonymcm> Sipior - I think you are right. I thought thats what he wanted to do?
[16:13] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: written for some other system...
[16:13] <Jimi_Neutral> no written for 8.10
[16:13] <Picassotamus> hemanth: you will need to ask a specific question  then for help, or maybe put your errors into a pastebin
[16:13] <sipior> tonymcm: no, he was running clonezilla to begin with.
[16:13] <Jimi_Neutral> i will give u the link
[16:13] <aspoor> ?
[16:14] <hemanth> Picassotamus, http://pastebin.com/d28d370ad got tht when i made "make"
[16:14] <Jimi_Neutral> i must admit though, he calls 8.10 Heron http://packratstudios.com/index.php/2008/04/20/how-to-setup-clonezilla-on-linux-ubuntu-quick-start-guide/
[16:14] <[pablo]> nado: yes, moving the mouse works because X loads some generic mouse module to take care of it... but it won't use advanced synaptics features like touchpad scrolling
[16:14] <aspoor> ding ding ding.  Its time to wake up...
[16:14] <Jimi_Neutral> well he says Hardy but u know what i mean
[16:14] <nado> [pablo], check my private message
[16:14] <hemanth> Picassotamus, i even tried this http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[16:14] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: he must mean 7.10, since 8.10 wasn't out in April 2008 :-)
[16:15] <Jimi_Neutral> ah ha!
[16:15] <Jimi_Neutral> well im newb to linux so i didnt realise that lol
[16:15] <lewench> im trying to setup my Motorola S9 in my ubuntu (its bluetooth) I followed the instructions to add data in the .asound config file. But I don't see the "bluetooth" option in Audacious. Im I missing something?
[16:15] <sebsebseb> Jimi_Neutral: your trying to do a backup of Ubuntu?
[16:16] <Jimi_Neutral> so im guessing that is where all my problems lie....the fact i have followed a tutorial for 7.10 and i have 8.10
[16:16] <Tcl> i   have a laptop and my internet connection is a a diaalup modem...how i can setit up ?
[16:16] <Mr_Molez> anyone got experience with usb touchscreens ? my mouse moves the wrong way when ever i move it
[16:16] <Jimi_Neutral> no im trying to take an image of the installation of windows from the laptop so i can then clone it to about 60 other laptops
[16:16] <oCean_> !dialup | Tcl
[16:17] <RassBariaw> ubottu: those instructions are slightly complicated; one of them though says to reinstall GRUB by reinstalling ubuntu (but skipping some of the steps); would that work?
[16:17] <RassBariaw> oh....
[16:17] <Jimi_Neutral> on another note, is it possible to turn off all the damn notifications in this channel? Im using Xchant for gnome
[16:17] <Ropechoborra> RassBariaw, lol, that was fun :)
[16:17] <Jimi_Neutral> Xchat
[16:17] <RassBariaw> yeah
[16:18] <Jimi_Neutral> So any idea sebsebseb, sipior
[16:18] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, the tutorial covers setting up a bootserver using clonezilla, which isn't quite what you want, i think.
[16:18] <sebsebseb> Jimi_Neutral: any idea for what?  I missed most of it
[16:18] <RassBariaw> Ropechoborra: do you know a simpler way for someone that does not know unix commands?
[16:18] <oCean_> RassBariaw: SGD (super grub disk) is a nice tool to restore/repair grub. See http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[16:18] <Ropechoborra> RassBariaw, yeap. Wait me i'll search it for you
[16:19] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: why not simply install the partimage package from the main repository? the documentation is clear, and you can set up a partimage server to do what you want.
[16:19] <lollies> !F-Prot
[16:19] <lollies> hmm
[16:19] <Jimi_Neutral> well i would but there are a few problems, i have no idea what im doing and when i try to download partimage it says E: Couldnt find package dbrl-partimage
[16:19] <RassBariaw> oCean: would SGD repair it?
[16:20] <wtv> RassBariaw: you can do it using ubuntu live cd too
[16:20] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: have you tried "sudo apt-get install partimage"? how have you tried to download partimage?
[16:20] <Jimi_Neutral> and yeah i thoguht the tutorial wasnt wuite what i wanted....you see all this has been given to me to do by my boss and im an MCP not a feckin Linux god
[16:21] <RassBariaw> wtv: when I attempted to use the CD that I burned, I was unable to install, so I downloaded the whole file to my hard disk and used WUBI;
[16:21] <g4lt-lappy> Jimbo__, I'm sorry.  have you tried to see someone about that?
[16:21] <MyWay> somebody knows a way to empty the trash when you shutdown?
[16:21] <g4lt-lappy> Jimi_Neutral, ^^^^
[16:21] <RassBariaw> wtv: but, I see instructions for using the CD but some of the instructions are confusing.....
[16:21] <jcapinc> hey I am on a dual screen ubuntu machine with an nvidia card and twinview, does anyone know a good way to make wallpapers display on each indevidual screen and not streached across both screens?
[16:21] <Jimi_Neutral> exactly liek that sipior sudo apt-get install dbrl-partimage
[16:21] <hemanth> Picassotamus, :( ?
[16:22] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: no, without the "dbrl-"
[16:22] <wtv> RassBariaw: lemme giv you a link...
[16:22] <rickest> MyWay: put an 'rm' command in ~/.bash_logout
[16:22] <MyWay> thanks
[16:22] <Jimi_Neutral> ah no i havnt, one sec
[16:22] <shadeslayer> RassBariaw: such as??
[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667
[16:22] <and> copy pasr
[16:22] <rickest> MyWay: nm, that's logout not shutdown
[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667

[16:22] <Jimi_Neutral> well sod my young backside
[16:22] <nathan7> =)
[16:22] <g4lt-lappy> MyWay, prolly throw it in a script and throw it in rc5.d?
[16:22] <MyWay> it's ok anyway rickest :p
[16:22] <Jimi_Neutral> that worked ty lol
[16:23] <g4lt-lappy> rc6 rather
[16:23] <Ropechoborra> RassBariaw, wich version of ubuntu do you have?
[16:23] <RassBariaw> Ropechoborra: I installed 8.10
[16:23] <Ropechoborra> Ok
[16:23] <Zubuntu> upon startup i get a red * with a "no suiteable kernal module found"
[16:23] <wtv> RassBariaw: did you see this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[16:24] <Zubuntu> then it goes to command like asking me for my username and password
[16:24] <Jimi_Neutral> dont go away though, i might need you again
[16:24] <Zubuntu> its because i uninstalled python
[16:24] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, no promises, but there are lots of folks here to help you, in any event :-)
[16:24] <Zubuntu> in systemmonitor there where 2 instaces of it running one was using loads of cpu
[16:24] <Zubuntu> so i thought reinstalling would work
[16:24] <Jimi_Neutral> ok so i have all that installed now
[16:25] <Zubuntu> bad move, can anyone help me
[16:25] <rysiek> hello
[16:25] <nado> Zubuntu, do you remember what you uninstalled exactly ?
[16:25] <RassBariaw> wtv: I saw something similar elsewhere but the commands are confusing.... :-(
[16:25] <nathan7> Zubuntu: dpkg-reconfigure something.
[16:25] <rysiek> guys, I am having problems with utf8 chars and an external ntfs-ormatted harddrive
[16:26] <Tcl> whats the code pls for detecting automat my internet connection ?
[16:26] <rysiek> trying to copy files with polish diacritical chars in filenames gives me this error:
[16:26] <rysiek> Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
[16:26] <Jimi_Neutral> how do you get it red so u know im talking to you?
[16:26] <wtv> RassBariaw: i didn't find anything simpler. I've used it several times myself
[16:26] <RassBariaw> let me re-read the instructions and I will come back and ask later then
[16:26] <g4lt-lappy> rytry escaping the characters with \
[16:27] <RassBariaw> thank you all for the tips
[16:27] <g4lt-lappy> rysiek, ^^^^
[16:28] <rysiek> g4lt-lappy: I just TABbed the name, so it got automagically escaped
[16:29] <g4lt-lappy> rysiek, it should have, yes
[16:29] <rysiek> g4lt-lappy: besides, in GUI (Konqueror here) world I still get those errors
[16:29] <zxxd> hey
[16:29] <Jimi_Neutral> ok since i installed them progs it doesnt give me the NTFS corrupt error anymore
[16:29] <Zubuntu> Yo
[16:29] <zxxd> where did the file defaults.conf go in gdm package supposed to be in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf
[16:29] <Zubuntu> yo
[16:29] <jcapinc> hey I am on a dual screen ubuntu machine with an nvidia card and twinview, does anyone know a good way to make wallpapers display on each indevidual screen and not streached across both screens?
[16:30] <Jimi_Neutral> now it carries on through that but then says "Checking the disk space... (standard_in) 1: syntax error Something Went Wrong!!! ress eneter to continue
[16:31] <Oli``> Anyone know how to change the sendmail max attachment size?
[16:31] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: i have a 2:1 sized wallpaper, used gimp to create the image and use it :)
[16:31] <Tcl> !internet
[16:31] <Tcl> !cconnect
[16:31] <Tcl> !connect
[16:31] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, I kind of thought of using gimp, I guess I should learn gimp-fu
[16:31] <Tcl> !detect
[16:32] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: i just took two images and put them side by side in gimp and saved it
[16:32] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, my moniters are different sizes so its a little more complicated than that
[16:32] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: mine are too. no proble encountered
[16:32] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, you are right on this one I just have to do it manually
[16:34] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: i did find a way to manage two wallpapers, but i couldnt use it because my pc does not see two screen, it only sees one very wide screen :/ ill see if i can find the link again.
[16:35] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, yea thats the disadvantage of twinview, it just widens the screen and dumps the extra output on the second moniter
[16:35] <tc0nn2000> how do you change the default fs blocksize? Want to mount an ext4 16k partition
[16:36] <tc0nn2000> or.. How do you change the maximum supported blocksize?
[16:36] <Jimi_Neutral> Ah Sipior. The reason I am using Clonezilla and not Partimage is because of Multicasting.
[16:36] <Jimi_Neutral> Unless Partimage supports Multicasting now?
[16:37] <RedWar> I have been trying to get a simpler version of dual screen so as to not mess with GLX settings
[16:40] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: oh, that i don't know. have a look at the project web page, see what you can find.
[16:40] <Gnomie> ack ill just talk here ;0
[16:40] <Gnomie> i dont know much about irc yet =/

[16:42] <Gnomie> That sounds like a bots name, he is a smart bot though if he is.
[16:43] <oCean_> Gnomie: please stop. This is ubuntu technical support.
[16:44] <JediMaster> hey guys, I've got 3 network interfaces, one goes to the adsl router, two to two private networks, I've got private network A NATed through the ADSL router with no problems, but I can't get them to see private network B, any ideas?

[16:45] <kc8pxy> Otacon22:  on a sparc?
[16:45] <Jeruvy> Jimi_Neutral: are you providing /complete/path/to/clonsezilla-start?
[16:45] <sipior> Gnomie: it's all right, just ask your question. we have a few folks here who are a little too excitable with bot directives...which is perhaps rather off-putting to someone new to irc.

[16:48]  * JediMaster pats Jimi_Neutral's boss on the back for sending us another one
[16:48] <dual> Is Openoffice3 100% compatible with .doc/word documents? In OO2 I sometimes experienced that a .doc looked weird. Does anyone know?
[16:48] <Jimi_Neutral> that i will defo get into when i start using a linux box at home, at the moment though i am in at the deep end and need to get this done before he shouts at me even more
[16:48] <Jimi_Neutral> i like linux i really do, but im a gamer first and foremost
[16:49] <deww> dual: dont count on it.
[16:49] <incorrect> Jimi_Neutral, so write some games for linux
[16:49] <grawity> dual: It's almost impossible to be 100% compatible with a closed format... though I think the Word document format is now public, so I guess 90% compatibility.
[16:49] <sipior> dual: i'm sure it won't be 100%. usually some tweaking will be necessary, although it's less of a problem than it was...
[16:49] <Jimi_Neutral> hah im a gamer not a coder
[16:49] <simenkm> Incorrect if you teach me how to ;P
[16:49] <JediMaster> Jimi_Neutral, it's possible, but often difficult, to get a lot of games (including windows only ones) running in linux using things like Wine
[16:49] <dual> Thanks. :)
[16:49] <incorrect> simenkm, i am learning how to write games at the moment
[16:49] <OscarTgrouch> dual: i would ask that in the openoffice channel.  but i think you should be fine  there are a few items with new versions of office that dont work.  but i wuold ask in the open office channel for a better answer
[16:49] <Jimi_Neutral> i am an MCP, i know nothing of coding lol
[16:49] <simenkm> I am still a linux newb, Installed my first Linux box about 3 monthes ago
[16:50] <simenkm> But its fun, atm i am trying to get my FreeNX working out
[16:50] <dual> Ok ;)
[16:50] <Gnomie> me too, and I can't go bak to windows ;)
[16:50] <Gnomie> I love linux now.
[16:50] <RedWar> U should try UBUBTU as well.
[16:50] <simenkm> ububtu?
[16:51] <RedWar> Ubuntu sorry typo
[16:51] <Gnomie> ya im using that
[16:51] <Jimi_Neutral> Well I will defo look into it once I have this done and have bought a new SSD but at the moment i think im learning enough trying to get this done for my boss
[16:51] <simenkm> Atm i have a Ubuntu server, wich i just installed freenx on to get a Gui
[16:51] <Gnomie> id like to try out slackware eventually, but I'm not smart enough with the terminal yet.
[16:51] <dakira> hi.. is there a possibility to make openoffice use GVFS? my problem in particular is the following: I mount a samba share via GVFS (including authentication). Now every time I want to open or save a file with OOo I get asked the user/pw-combo (the dialog is from OOo). Is there a way to avoid this?
[16:51] <Gnomie> I think it's cool the slack in 'slackware' comes from the church of the subgenius hehe
[16:51] <Jimi_Neutral> if i was using norton ghost this would have been done by now lol, i know im sorry but this is stressing me out
[16:51] <Gnomie> ick no norton!
[16:52] <Gnomie> sorry, just against norton ;0
[16:52] <Jimi_Neutral> well i finsih work in a bit so no more time to do it, but basically im just having trouble getting clonezilla to actually clone the copy of windows on my other laptop
[16:53] <grawity> Gnomie: Norton apps are quite nice, only the antivirus sucks. (I have heard good things about NAV 2009, but it still sucks.)
[16:53] <OscarTgrouch> Gnomie: one thing that helped me learn terminal is to install Ubuntu server and take that from a server install to basically a desktop install but installing all the needed parts.  didnt teach me but 2% of what you can do but it helped me get more comfortable.
[16:53] <Gnomie> ah ok, ya I'm not aware with the other programs.  I just know the anti virus suxx0rs
[16:53] <bigjocker> norton utilities where godsend in the ole DOS days
[16:53] <LjL> !ot
[16:54] <Jimi_Neutral> Thank you all for all your help and putting up with my whining...i might see you in an hour or so if im still awake enough to do this while im at home, if not i will be back tomorrow!
[16:55] <Gnomie> Thanks so my question about joining a channel not suitable for ubuntu support, I guess that makes sense.  I will go to the offtopic or google it.
[16:55] <Gnomie> I just want to get on a certain channel, and I have never used this, only mirc.
[16:56] <LjL> Gnomie: /join #channelname
[16:56] <simenkm> Gnomie its just like mirc ;)
[16:56] <Gnomie> oh so I don't have to connect to any network ;)
[16:56] <grawity> Gnomie: If you have used mIRC, then this is much like it - same commands, same concepts, etc.
[16:57] <LjL> Gnomie: err, that depends on whether your channel is on the same network as this (this is freenode.net)
[16:57] <Gnomie> I know, I sound stupid, just like I got the channel, I thought for some reason I had to connect to the domain name network first, I guess I fucked that up

[16:59] <delfick> hi, I'm trying to install cnet (network simulator) on my laptop (32-bit ubuntu 8.10) and I get a "/usr/local/bin/ld: unknown option '-z relro'" and one similar saying it can't load ld backend libarary 'libld_elf_i386.so and I'm somewhat confused as to why, anyone have any ideas?
[16:59] <LjL> Flyover: that depends entirely on your router
[16:59] <hatter243> Flyover, what do you mean "open a port" Did you install a firewall?
[16:59] <Flyover> i have a ovh server and its blocking port 6667
[16:59] <ellar> !ntfs > ellar
[16:59] <LjL> Flyover: Ubuntu isn't blocking anything - your router may be
[17:00] <exoasol> is there any software available for linux that is similar to snapfish online photo card creator
[17:00] <Flyover> its a server it dosnt go tho my router
[17:00] <LjL> Flyover: so it's running on your Ubuntu box, and you think your Ubuntu is preventing it from accepting incoming connections...?
[17:01] <OscarTgrouch> Flyover: what are you needing to open a port for?
[17:01] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, If you dont have any firewall installed, then the server that provides you internet is blocking that port for you.
[17:01] <Flyover> well i cant connect to a private IRC netowrk
[17:01] <Flyover> and i think its becouse the port is not open
[17:01] <LjL> nonsense.
[17:01] <cousteau> is it safe to delete all ~/.fr-* folders?
[17:01] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, freenode is port 6667, you are talking to us right now :)
[17:01] <Vaylor> hi all
[17:02] <Tcl> well is the ircd.conf
[17:02] <Flyover> ah
[17:02] <LjL> cousteau: i don't have any such folders, what are they?
[17:02] <OscarTgrouch> flyover: Just to verify.  YOu are trying to connect to a private IRC network and you are being blocked.
[17:02] <cousteau> I'm using Hardy and it temporarily unzips there archivers
[17:02] <cousteau> seems that Intrepid uses /tmp instead
[17:02] <saerg> wers: open a terminal, type twf and
[17:02] <Flyover> it keeps saying connecting and does nothering else
[17:02] <LjL> cousteau: ah, i don't know, i use KDE whose archiver probably does it differently
[17:02] <saerg> cousteau: those are from file-roller
[17:03] <LjL> Flyover: except you're currently connected to an irc network so it can't be your computer
[17:03] <cousteau> shouldn't them be unzipped on /tmp?
[17:03] <wers> saerg, thanks. kept trying "thewidgetfactory"
[17:03] <OscarTgrouch> FLyover: simple question.  do you now the private network is up and running?
[17:03] <Ticco> !getlist
[17:03] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, try in a terminal ' ping IRCserver '  (just the domain)
[17:03] <LjL> !bot > ticco    (ticco, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:03] <Ticco> !list
[17:03] <Flyover> the server is up and running as im using it on my home computer
[17:04] <Ropechoborra> O that changes things
[17:04] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, is your home computer with ubuntu?
[17:04] <OscarTgrouch> flyover are you one the same neetwork as your home computer?
[17:04] <Flyover> my home computer is yes
[17:04] <Flyover> and the ping is working
[17:04] <Tcl> Flyover : if your server is up and running and u cant connect to it is the user line or Client block access setup on your ircd.conf
[17:04] <saerg> cousteau: if you haven't openend files from within an archive you can delete those directories
[17:05] <cousteau> ok
[17:05] <cousteau> is there a way I can set /tmp instead of ~ as temporal folder?
[17:05] <Flyover> how do i stop the ping
[17:05] <Flyover> keeping going over and over
[17:05] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, Ctrl + C
[17:05] <Flyover> thanks
[17:05] <Flyover> lol
[17:06] <Flyover> yes the ping works fine
[17:06] <Ropechoborra> :)
[17:06] <Ropechoborra> You told me that your home computer is using ubuntu without a firewall right?
[17:06] <RedWar> Is there a simple way to pipe a video stream to HD Tv (Dualview?)
[17:06] <cousteau> Flyover: you can also run "ping -c 10 www.google.com" - the -c 10 will count only 10 pings and then stop
[17:06] <Flyover> i just dont understand why its still not conncting it only connects to this network and not others
[17:07] <Flyover> that worked
[17:08] <Machtin> how can i see whether i'm connected via 100mbit or 1gbit-lan? (pc <> router)
[17:08] <Ropechoborra> Wich is the irc adress of your server? I'll try to connect to see if its accepting connections
[17:08] <rtorrent> hey guys its Flyover
[17:08] <rtorrent> i can connect to this network on my server
[17:08] <genii> Machtin: ifconfig   usually shows the connection speeds of each connection
[17:09] <rtorrent> * Looking up inetwork.net
[17:09] <rtorrent> * Connecting to -network.net (.30.123) port 6667...
[17:09] <Machtin> genii: which line?
[17:09] <rtorrent> thats what it says do not do anything else
[17:10] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent,  Wich is the irc adress of your server? I'll try to connect to see if its accepting connections
[17:10] <rtorrent> i cant connect from my home connection
[17:11] <ZipmaO> Yehaa
[17:11] <rtorrent> its not my irc u see and i cant really give the details out
[17:11] <hybr1der> hi when i try to maximize my window it will only take up a part of my screen how do i fix this?
[17:11]  * dejai sighs at his port forwarding problems
[17:11] <debian> any one help me how to add swap after installed hardy without using partition editor
[17:11] <ZipmaO> Someone think that they can help me with a mail-sending batch script not running correctly when run as a cron job?
[17:12] <Machtin> dejai: what's it?
[17:12] <raven_> hi - i am trying to install OSS2JACK but i have serious trouble with FUSD-KOR, KFUSD and similar - i cannot install and run it - what could i do?
[17:12] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, ok then, if the IRC server does not accpet any clinets, then the problem is in the config file of the server.
[17:12] <rtorrent> but im using xhat on my home network and the same on servewr
[17:13] <dejai> Machtin, Well I just set up a standard Ubuntu server, made it static on port <IP_ADDRESS> its all working, makde an SQL data base set up wordpress all fine (yup I could ping www.google.com) but then port forwarding.
[17:13] <dejai> Just couldn't get it to work
[17:13] <Machtin> ah i see.. so ubuntu's the router.. not a desktop system.
[17:14] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, Dont understand, can you connect to the server from other place?
[17:14] <dejai> Machtin, Actually no its not and thats the problem .
[17:14] <kushalone> Hi, can someone give me instructions on changing from 4:3 to widescreen resolution in 8.10? I only find 4:3 ratios in system > Screen resolution. Thanks

[17:18] <rtorrent> * Connection failed. Error: Connection refused
[17:18] <LjL> !tab | InspectHerGadget
[17:18] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent,  The you got it
[17:18] <InspectHerGadget> LjL, tnx
[17:19] <rtorrent> ???
[17:19] <LjL> rtorrent: perhaps you've set up your irc server's config to not accept connections from localhost.
[17:19] <cablop> ??!
[17:19] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, 2 sec
[17:19] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, Connection refused, your server does not accept local connections... try looking for that option in the ircd.conf
[17:19] <cablop> mmm
[17:19] <Tcl> rtorrent du u have  set to aloww connections to your server ?
[17:19] <Ropechoborra> Tcl, It does accept, only not from localhost
[17:19] <rtorrent> im not sure i did not set it up
[17:19] <otm> Does anybody know of any good video editting software (I'm new to making vids but don't want TOO user frienly software that holds me back later on)
[17:20] <rtorrent> ircd.conf (i use xchat)
[17:20] <Tcl> if is an unreal then u have localhost by password
[17:20] <LjL> otm: video editing you mean nonlinear? (i.e. put many videos together, do transitions, and such?)
[17:20] <sebsebseb> otm: kino I belive is one
[17:20] <cousteau> otm: there's a program called kino; looks nice
[17:20] <nicklas_> are there any vpn solutins fo linux?
[17:20] <LjL> these are video editors:  cinelerra, avidemux, stopmotion, blender, lives, openmovieeditor, jahshaka  —  GNOME: pitivi, kino  —  KDE: kdenlive  —  console: avidemux-cli
[17:21] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, is it Unreal?
[17:21] <rtorrent> what do you mean unreal
[17:21] <LjL> rtorrent: the name of the irc server program
[17:21] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, The server name, is Unreal ?
[17:21] <Tcl> and the bloc for clients shold look like this:
[17:21] <Ropechoborra> name, program lol
[17:21] <Tcl> listen         *:6697
[17:21] <Tcl> {
[17:21] <Tcl> 	options
[17:21] <Tcl> 	{
[17:21] <Tcl> 		/*ssl;*/
[17:21] <FloodBot3> Tcl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:21] <Tcl> 		clientsonly;
[17:21] <rtorrent> no irc.p2p
[17:22] <otm> also, what about video converters? Or can this be done simply through terminal?
[17:22] <Ropechoborra> Oppps
[17:22] <Ropechoborra> !paste ? =P
[17:22] <Tcl> got it:)
[17:22] <Ropechoborra> ubottu, I know you silly :P
[17:22] <LjL> otm: you can do it through the terminal, or you could use VLC or avidemux
[17:22] <otm> thank you :)
[17:23] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2194/screenshotff.png
[17:23] <LjL> rtorrent: i don't see any irc server with that name in the repositories
[17:23] <genii> Machtin: Apologies had a disconnect here. Actually I think what you want is more like:   sudo ethtool eth0         (or whatever the interface name is)
[17:23] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, this way when i start the movie and during the movie in intervals
[17:23] <rtorrent> its a private server
[17:23] <RassBariaw> How do I use VirtualBox to run Ubuntu on Vista?  ubuntu version 8.10 installed using Wubi.
[17:24] <LjL> rtorrent: right, but we want to know the name of the SERVER PROGRAM, not the name you gave to the HOST
[17:24] <RassBariaw> without a partition....
[17:24] <LjL> rtorrent: you know, the daemon, the program that you use to actually serve IRC
[17:24] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: Wubi puts Ubuntu inside Windows
[17:24] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, i have installed ubuntu-restricted,i tryed with gstream too and nothing
[17:24] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: I am not exactly sure, what you want to do
[17:24] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: does that mean I cannot use VirtualBox?
[17:24] <rtorrent> the program i am useing is xchat and the netowrk is P2P-NETWORK
[17:25] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, I think you should contact your network admin, or the person who is in charge of the config of the server
[17:25] <LjL> rtorrent: so you've got a CLIENT and you're trying to connect to an EXTERNAL network?
[17:25] <saerg> RassBariaw: you can run the livecd in virtualbox
[17:25] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw:   Wubi puts   Ubuntu inside the Windows partition, however you can try  Ubuntu from  inside Windows, by using the ISO
[17:25] <DrMrHorse> knetworkmanager isnt installed by default?
[17:25] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, did you saw my link with screenshot?i need good image quality not blur or shadow during the movie
[17:25] <|PaperTiger|> Having trouble setting up a dual screen display. ATi Catalyst Control Centre installed. Don't know what settings. Tried a few, but none work how I want. I want it so I have an extended desktop
[17:25] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: I don't know
[17:26] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, i need to know best codec for .avi mp4 etc format
[17:26] <LjL> !restricted > InspectHerGadget    (InspectHerGadget, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:26] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: try w32codecs
[17:26] <Ropechoborra> LjL, He is connected trough VNC to the system that hosts the IRCd. And he cannot connect localy to the server
[17:26] <rtorrent> but the networking is working fine as im on it on my home connection just dosnt connect to it on the server
[17:26] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, ah,ok tnx aneway for the help
[17:26] <DrMrHorse> (whoops wrong channel)
[17:26] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: no problem
[17:26] <InspectHerGadget> LjL, thank you
[17:26] <LjL> Ropechoborra: if he doesn't even know which server he's using, perhaps he shouldn't be running an irc server to begin with
[17:26] <RassBariaw> saerg: so that means if I wish to use VirtualBox I must install Ubuntu on a separate partition?
[17:27] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you install Ubuntu from the ISO in a virtual hard disk using Virtualbox
[17:27] <saerg> RassBariaw: no, you can directly run the livecd in virtualbox
[17:27] <Ropechoborra> LjL, thats why i told him to contact the person in charge, since he wont be able to modify the config file by his own
[17:27] <marshall> hey
[17:27] <Machtin> genii: thanks
[17:27] <rtorrent> imn  not runnin a irc server
[17:27] <rtorrent> im tryin to connect to 1
[17:27] <LjL> rtorrent: if you're not, then you can't do anything about it except inform the person who *is* running it of the issue.
[17:28] <Tcl> pffffff..man the server do not let u in then ( u r banned or u need a pass or is bad setup)
[17:28] <rtorrent> but the irc server is working fine as there are about 200 people on it
[17:28] <RassBariaw> saerg: what about the updates? do they run from the cd?
[17:28] <rtorrent> it just dosnt connect from my ovh server to the irc server
[17:29] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, ovh ?
[17:29] <rtorrent> ye
[17:29] <LjL> rtorrent: yes, that's because *connections from localhost are disabled*. you need to inform the *administrator of the server* of that.
[17:29] <Ropechoborra> Whats that ? =)
[17:29] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I feel confused; I cannot run the Wubi installation of Ubuntu in VirtualBox?
[17:29] <Otacon22> !eee
[17:29] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: yes you don't use wubi
[17:29] <rtorrent> its a server host
[17:29] <sebsebseb> !wubi
[17:29] <mogi22> hi, i cant get any sound out of vlc media player on every other boot.  not sure why!  i can get sound on all other apps on every boot though!
[17:29] <saerg> RassBariaw: like sebsebseb said... you can install it to a virtual hard drive ie. a file
[17:29] <rtorrent> can i enable local host i have root
[17:30] <mogi22> where do i even begin checking such a thing?
[17:30] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you download the Ubuntu ISO  from the webstie
[17:30] <LjL> rtorrent: root on *what*? on the server that's running the ircd?
[17:30] <mogi22> is there a sound service i can restart?
[17:30] <RedWar> !DualView
[17:30] <LjL> !dualhead
[17:30] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: also you should only do  Ubuntu in virtualbox  to try :)  then later put for real on your hard disk
[17:30] <rtorrent> i have root for my vnc server not irc
[17:31] <LjL> rtorrent: that won't help you.
[17:31] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: if I understand, that means, try for a while, then partition and install in the new partition?
[17:31] <rtorrent> ah kk ill speak to the hoster of the channel
[17:31] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: at the moment you only got Windows on a computer yes?
[17:31] <OscarTgrouch> !exit
[17:31] <RedWar> I missed the answer to the question, but Now iknow thanks xinerama
[17:31] <rtorrent> thanks for all your help guys
[17:31] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I have Vista, and a Wubi install of Ubuntu 8.10
[17:31] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you can run Ubuntu inside  Windows by,  downloading the ISO,  and running it in virtualbox
[17:32] <Cliffer> hi
[17:32]  * grawity greets Cliffer.
[17:32] <giaco> hello
[17:32] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: ok  what do you want to do exactly?
[17:32] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: so when I boot up, I get the dual boot option between Vista and Ubuntu but I wanted to be able to switch between the two
[17:32] <giaco> how cna ibackground a running process and make it uncloseable on terminal close?
[17:32] <sky_1> hi anyone can help me with GRUB ?
[17:32] <LjL> giaco: "nohup programname &"
[17:32] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you can use Windows and Ubuntu at the same time, by  using virtualbox
[17:32] <Tianlong> 你好
[17:33] <Tianlong> hello
[17:33] <LjL> !screen > giaco    (giaco, see the private message from ubottu) or use this for more control
[17:33] <LjL> !cn | Tianlong
[17:33] <giaco> LjL, but it's running now, I can't stop it
[17:33] <amigo_rich> sky_1: What problem do you have with GRUB?
[17:33] <sky_1> how i can point GRUB that other systems are installed ?
[17:33] <sky_1> (not windows)
[17:33] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: however Windows as the host OS hummmmm
[17:33] <LjL> giaco: try Ctrl+Z, it might put it into backgroup
[17:33] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: but, can I use VirtualBox on a Wubi install of Ubuntu?
[17:33] <RedWar> Does. Xinerama work on hArdy?
[17:33] <Tianlong> thanks ljl
[17:33]  * axoin is listening to RassBariaw
[17:33] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: good for trying, but then  you should put  Ubuntu on a hard disk for real :)  and  do Windows in the vm maybe/probably
[17:33] <giaco> LjL, but then it would be closed after I close the terminal
[17:33] <Tianlong> i had my chinese entry on, lol
[17:34] <otm> Does anybody know anything about ssh tunelling through your home computer on your laptop that's miles away? This would be very useful when I go to uni
[17:34] <LjL> giaco: not if you use "disown"
[17:34] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: your wubi install,  won't boot up in virtualbox
[17:34] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: yes; Vista installed first, then I just used Wubi yesterday and installed
[17:34] <amigo_rich> sky_1: You need to add them to /boot/grub/menu.lst.
[17:34] <Serraphyn> I know nvidia isn't supported here since its not open source but could someone remind me what channel is for linux and nividia?
[17:34] <v0lksman> I just did an upgrade to Jaunty and now when I login to X something is spawning hundreds of nautilus apps...any suggestion what to look for?
[17:34] <sky_1> amigo_rich: need to know how i can point grub that other systems are installed
[17:34] <giaco> LjL, can you explain me the disown syntax?
[17:34] <NCommander> Can one do a OEM install with an alternate CD?
[17:34] <giaco> how should it work?
[17:34] <Cliffer> how can i find a folder in the terminal?
[17:34] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: why wubi? ,because you didn't know how to partition your hard disk, for a real proper dual boot?
[17:34] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, modifying in the menu.lst, adding a root device, and kernels it should load
[17:34] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I started virtualbox, but it prompted me for partition information so I cancelled.
[17:34] <LjL> giaco: "help disown" will tell you, see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup
[17:35] <LjL> Cliffer: find | grep folder
[17:35] <Cliffer> tHx
[17:35] <LjL> Cliffer: see "man find" for more info
[17:35] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: ok
[17:35] <Scunizi> Looking at htop I see many duplications of programs.. like Tomboy has 3 identical entries with different PID numbers. Same with gnome Do, Evolution Data Server, Tracker etc.. is this normal?
[17:35] <sky_1> Ropechoborra, amigo_rich i get Permission denied -> and i am logged as root :X
[17:35] <Cliffer> does it also search in subfolders?
[17:35] <LjL> Cliffer: yes
[17:35] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I know that Vista has a built in partion application, but I wanted to be careful
[17:35] <Cliffer> cool

[17:36] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, Did you try as root to ' nano /boot/grub/menu.lst ' ?
[17:36] <LjL> Scunizi: i don't know about those programs specifically, but many programs create and use several "threads" by forking more processes
[17:36] <sky_1> Ropechoborra: i am troll X(
[17:36] <Scunizi> Ropechoborra: sky_1 not as root but using 'sudo nano /bla/bla/menu.lst

[17:38] <sid1monu> i have a problem with installin ubuntu
[17:38] <LjL> kaw: no, but i just thought i'd mention there is a free alternative to matlab called "octave" - it's in the repositories
[17:38] <Unregistered> ok canyone guide me in rigt direction, need help with my psp
[17:38] <sid1monu> i install ubuntu and try to dual boot with windows
[17:38] <oshub> Hi, I'm looking for a software  like sockschain.any idea?
[17:38] <trimalap> sid1monu: hi, would you describe the problem
[17:38] <tonymcm> hi all =-O
[17:38] <sid1monu> but GRUB doesnt show up when i install ubuntu
[17:38] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: waiting for your pm
[17:39] <GotKicked> are there any psp rooms?
[17:39] <sid1monu> i tried to manually install grub

[17:39] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, take a look at the config file, see at the end of it how it does to load Linux (or windows if you have it) and try to do the same for the system you want
[17:39] <y2k> hi
[17:39] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, you will need to know in wich partition is installed this OS.
[17:39] <trimalap> y2k: Hi
[17:39] <sky_1> Ropechoborra: there's not second system x(
[17:39] <y2k> why is it that linuxmail offers a very small free space. i have only 12 messages that are less than 5 migs and yet it says that iam using 60.14% of your mail quota.
[17:39] <sid1monu> but when i do that
[17:40] <sid1monu> my windows dosent boot
[17:40] <sky_1> Ropechoborra: i know which partition is it but thats all
[17:40] <sid1monu> it says ntldr missin

[17:40] <sid1monu> i restore ntldr but no luck
[17:40] <sid1monu> same problem
[17:40] <LjL> porter1: err, root has no password by default to begin with
[17:41] <trimalap> sid1monu: you will have to enter the Windows info in grub file.  It is very common issue and there are a lot of step-by-steps there
[17:41] <porter1> Hmmm.... nevermind. I'm going ta have to study the Ubuntu security model some mero...
[17:41] <oshub> proxychains I tried but I am not convinced
[17:41] <oshub> other idea?
[17:41] <kapipi> Hello, I just noticed that in the mixer, the master channel is in mono. Is that normal?

[17:42] <sid1monu> chainload+1
[17:42] <sotec_prod> I really need help with this guys
[17:42] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, check this example http://paste.ubuntu.com/141552/

[17:45] <teroknor> hi i'm compiling a kernel of ubuntu hardy 32bit on a core2duo system. is it okay to choose "Core2/newer Xeon" processor family even if the kernel i'm building is 32bit?
[17:45] <dee> Hello.
[17:45] <pablo__> module ppp_generic is a missing module right now in my system, how is suppoused to install it ?
[17:46] <Serraphyn> Ienorand, the problem I see is that the kenerl module is sitll the 177 and its not letting the 180 one load
[17:46] <trimalap> sid1monu: yes chainload+1
[17:46] <sotec_prod> why 32bit on a x64 bit system??
[17:46] <oshub> I need an extensive manual to configure it correctly sockschain.any ideas?
[17:46] <sotec_prod> that makes no sense
[17:46] <dee> problem with wine: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394653/ does anyone know this error? System: Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit.
[17:46] <Ienorand> Serraphyn: I was having problems with 4gb not working but 2gb working, strangely enough... probably not the same issue then, sorry I don't know any other causes.
[17:46] <teroknor> sotec_prod: i run some programs that only available on 32bit.
[17:46] <PhotoJim> trimalap: I think that if you tell the compiler you are using a 64-bit CPU, it will compile with native 64-bit code.  so you probably want to tell it you are using a 32-bit CPU instead (even if you aren't).
[17:46] <oshub> proxychains  sorry *
[17:47] <Machtin> sotec_prod: cause 32bit is faster if you got less than 4gbyte RAM.. and usually better supported
[17:47] <Scunizi> With every reboot my system's volume is reset to zero.. this just started happening in the last couple weeks. Any idea what's changed?
[17:47] <Ienorand> does anyone know how to edit vesamenu to allow for chainloading?
[17:47] <sky_1> !Nabble
[17:48] <teroknor> i'm just worried that if i choose the processor arch as core2duo even if i'm using 32bit hardy, i may not be able to boot again.
[17:48] <sotec_prod> what programs are you using that  require this setup? I've installed more than I need to every use in Ubuntu and I've never once had an issue with 64bit vs. 32bit programs.
[17:48] <teroknor> sotec_prod: scsirastools
[17:48] <PhotoJim> teroknor: you'll be able to boot.  your old kernel will still be in the grub menu.  you'd just have to select it manually.  so you won't hurt anything to experiment.
[17:49] <teroknor> PhotoJim, oh yeah.... i forgot. :)
[17:49] <sotec_prod> hmm, ok
[17:49] <oshub> also need a website updated every hour socks.any idea...?
[17:49] <PhotoJim> sotec_prod: 64-bit Java support is still a work in progress.  that's the only tangible difference I've run into that affects me.
[17:49] <sotec_prod> server tools?
[17:49] <PhotoJim> teroknor: try it. :)  but you were smart to ask.
[17:49] <unr3a1> hey all.  I am having compilation issues with an app, and i have installed the latest version of boost, but still I get this error:  http://pastebin.com/f118c13ec  any ideas how I can get the asio installed properly?
[17:49] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: the only part that is fails is the firefox plugin
[17:49] <teroknor> PhotoJim, thanks. i'll experiment.
[17:49] <PhotoJim> teroknor: let me know what you discover :)
[17:49] <sotec_prod> Speaking of which, would anyone know why some flash online works and some does not? Southparkstudios does not work for me, but youtube and the ilk does.
[17:50] <teroknor> PhotoJim, Okay. ;)
[17:50] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: oh, is it firefox-specific?  is there a workaround with a different browser, e.g. epiphany?
[17:50] <sotec_prod> is there an xserver setting I need to modify?
[17:50] <sotec_prod> I've tried shutting down compiz too
[17:50] <sotec_prod> no avail
[17:50] <techouse> sotec_prod: 64bit?
[17:50] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: you can use the icedtea (openjava) plugin it works on some sites (facebook fails :|)
[17:50] <sotec_prod> yes
[17:51]  * sotec_prod uses icetea
[17:51] <techouse> sotec_prod: the the adobe labs beta
[17:51] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: it doesn't work on the site I want it to work on, unfortunately.  at least it didn't the last time I tried it.  but I'll try it again.
[17:51] <rysiek> guys, how do I tell hal (or whatever auto-mounts USB drives) to use locale=pl_PL.utf8 option for ntfs-3g
[17:51] <sotec_prod> i'll check it. I have the 64bit version installed because like I said, some sites work, some dont.
[17:52] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: i only was ponting out that « 64-bit Java support is still a work in progress.» is a false statement or at least greatly missleading
[17:52] <techouse> sotec_prod: let me find it for ya
[17:52] <oshub> also need a website updated every hour socks.any idea?
[17:52] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: I don't think it's greatly misleading.  64-bit Java doesn't seem to work on all sites.  32-bit does.
[17:52] <jcapinc> hey who was they guy that had twinview I was talking to earlier?  I have a solution!

[17:54] <mshanks> Hey all - bit of a long shot, but; I'm having some problems installing ubuntu on my desktop - and I can vaguely remember what I had to do last time I installed on this machine, but not sure of the two settings I had to change for installing and then in the boot grub thingy.
[17:54] <mshanks> On the installation, it hangs on the HAL bit
[17:54]  * sotec_prod away installing flash
[17:54] <samuel_> como puedo entrar en el canal ispono
[17:54] <LjL> jcapinc: probably Dreamglider?

[17:54] <jcapinc> LjL, yea thats the guy!
[17:55] <mshanks> last time was advised to add two settings to the cmd for installing which got around the problem - but can't for the life of me remember what they were. was definately related to HAL though. any thoughts? :x
[17:55] <techouse> samuel_: learn english :P
[17:55] <Ropechoborra> Thats not te ubuntu spirit =/

[17:58] <Ropechoborra> !ask | viclim__
[17:58] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: it is the plugin what does not work. the plugin is such a tiny portion of what you can do with java that saying that java on 64 bits fails becouse the plugin fails is *greatly* missleading
[17:58] <viclim__> evince doesn't enable the printing option
[17:59] <techouse> sotec_: copy it into your ~/.mozilla/plugins folder
[17:59] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: ok.  using Java with Firefox on 64-bit Linux is a work in progress then.   I have the file but it's a later version. Error loading the runtime (libicudata.so.36: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Mine is libicudata.so.38
[18:02] <oshub> if you do not want to help the fool
[18:02] <mshanks> time to have another go. thanks again Picassotamus
[18:02] <mshanks> going to try it with noapic and noacpi

[18:03] <durt> gsp2009, it's 9.04 not 9.10
[18:03] <Picassotamus> gsp2009: 9.04 is the next release, and #ubuntu+1 is the channel for support
[18:04] <gsp2009> doh! Sorry... I meant 9.04... I somehow skipped ahead to October... LOL.

[18:05] <teroknor> oshub: they are just telling you to just ask out immediately instead of asking if you can ask. just being more efficient in helping you.

[18:15] <blizzkid> lo all. anyone could help me get my scanner working? If I do sane-find-scanner I get "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0841) at libusb:003:002" But when I start xsane I get "no devices available"
[18:15] <sotec_> techouse, even youtube doesn't work now...any more suggestions since I didn't back up the original libflashplayer.so?
[18:15] <LjL> blizzkid: what about "scanimage -L"?

[18:16] <techouse> sotec_: u sure there is no .mozilla dir in your home dir?
[18:16] <mshanks> ok well it didn't work - getting same problem I was getting before. Hangs at "Starting hardware abstraction layer hald"
[18:16] <blizzkid> LjL: yes, an SX100, and I downloaded and installed iscan
[18:16] <mshanks> Tried it with noapic and noacpi
[18:16] <alaz> abishekii: init 2 ?
[18:16] <techouse> and restart firefox while you are at it
[18:16] <LjL> blizzkid: well you didn't really need iscan... it would have been easier without.
[18:16] <techouse> and check the plug-ins (about:plugins)
[18:16] <sotec_> techouse, there is, but there is no plugins dir
[18:16] <LjL> blizzkid: anyway, do you have an /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf file?
[18:16] <abhishekiitd> alaz:what?
[18:17] <abhishekiitd> alaz:what?i couldnt get it
[18:17] <techouse> then put it into that dir or make a plugins dir in .mozilla
[18:17] <blizzkid> LjL: I had one, but I somehow removed it now
[18:17] <locainex> meh
[18:17] <blizzkid> LjL: I guess with an update of iscan
[18:17] <sotec_> techouse, the only dir libflashplayer.so was found in was the non-free-flash in /usr/lib
[18:17] <alaz> abhishekii: init 2 should drop  you into single-user mode

[18:17] <LjL> blizzkid: uhm, so what do you have in /etc/sane.d? (pastebin the output of "ls -l /etc/sane.d")
[18:18] <abhishekiitd> alaz:what excatly should i do?in terminal, sudo init 2?
[18:18] <techouse> sotec_: and firefox detected the new libflashplayer.so when you subtited it?
[18:18] <alaz> aye
[18:19] <blizzkid> LjL: http://pastebin.com/d65cd4e6e
[18:19] <abhishekiitd> alaz:doing sudo init 2 doesnt result in anything, apparently...how do i know if x server is off?black and white screens?
[18:19] <sotec_> i'm not sure to be honest. youtube worked, and now it doesn't. So I'd think something is amiss... but the plugins section in firefox claims that shockwave flash player 10.r22 is still installed
[18:19] <marctw> LjL: I mean.. how should I know what to update? when to update etc?
[18:19]  * sotec_ shrugs
[18:20] <alaz> abbishekii: i thougt init 2 would do the trick. when x server is off you would have no graphical interface just your shell
[18:20] <LjL> marctw: just update everything that the update manager tells you to update, as soon as it tells you.
[18:20] <sipior> abhishekiitd: alaz: isn't runlevel 1 single-user mode?
[18:20] <christian_> I use postfix for my mail server ... and now need use other domain in the same server
[18:20] <LjL> blizzkid: uhm, so you have an epson.conf and an epson2.conf... i would assume the epson2.conf was created by iscan?
[18:20] <alaz> abbishekii: try sudo killall x. or maybe init 1
[18:20] <christian_> my server use postfix and dovecot
[18:20] <abhishekiitd> alaz:doing sudo init 2 doesnt result in anything, neither can i run that driver
[18:20] <blizzkid> LjL: I think so
[18:21] <raven__> 안녕하세요
[18:21] <raven__> Hi
[18:21]  * grawity greets raven__.
[18:21] <LjL> blizzkid: pastebin the contents of both epson*.conf files please
[18:21] <christian_> and I don understand use the doamins multiples
[18:21] <saerg> abhishekiitd: logout, open a vt and stop gdm
[18:21] <durt> christian_, I suggest asking in #ubuntu-server
[18:21] <zash> !ko | raven__
[18:21] <LjL> blizzkid: also, tell me if either "epson" or "epkowa" or "epson2" is enabled in dll.conf
[18:22] <abhishekiitd> alaz:killall x gives message:nio processed killed
[18:22] <raven__> Thank you , zash
[18:22] <abhishekiitd> saerg:what is vt?
[18:22] <saerg> at virtual terminal, press eg. ctrl+alt+1
[18:22] <christian_> durt in this saloon is Ubuntu server???
[18:23] <abhishekiitd> saerg:what is virtual terminal...how do i acces it?
[18:23] <blizzkid> LjL: http://pastebin.com/d5ade75cb and http://pastebin.com/dd46e7e0
[18:23] <durt> christian_,  /join #ubuntu-server
[18:24] <blizzkid> LjL: epkowa, epson and epson2 are in dll.conf
[18:24] <don01> Good Afternoon all new to the Ubuntu world here
[18:24] <LjL> blizzkid: but are they commented or uncommented?
[18:24] <christian_> ok thks
[18:24] <ohzie> don01, Good afternoon to you as well
[18:24] <sebsebseb> don01: ok what would you like help with?
[18:24] <blizzkid> LjL: uncommented atm
[18:24] <tsai1> Hi all,  my wireless keyboard keeps falling asleep every 15 min or so.  I want to create a cron job using sudo hidd --search that will cause the system to look for my keyboard like every 20 min.  How can I do it when the command calls for sudo which means a password would be needed?
[18:24] <dtech> Is it true the root account is disabled on 7.04?
[18:25] <don01> Nothin atm I am just checking out things and watching to learn ...
[18:25] <blizzkid> LjL: I also tried a dll.conf with each one individually
[18:25] <don01> Is that okay if I sit here and learn
[18:25] <grawity> tsai1: add it to root's crontab I guess: sudo crontab -e -u root
[18:25] <abhishekiitd> saerg:what is virtual terminal...how do i acces it?
[18:25] <LjL> blizzkid: uhm, i think you should only leave one uncommented - comment out the others. you could try using "epson2" first, i guess. also, comment out everything in epson2.conf, and instead add a line saying "user 0x4b8 0x841"
[18:25] <grawity> don01: yes, it's okay.
[18:25] <don01> Thanks grawity
[18:25] <LjL> blizzkid: err, i meant "usb 0x4b8 0x841"
[18:26] <saerg> abhishekiitd: it's in textmode, ctrl+alt+f1 gets you there
[18:26] <grawity> abhishekiitd: Press Ctrl-Alt-F1, or Ctrl-Alt-F2, or Ctrl-Alt-F3, or .....
[18:26] <grawity> abhishekiitd: Usually, X is on the terminal 7
[18:26] <blizzkid> LjL: still no result
[18:26] <durt> abhishekiitd, and don't forget Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back !!
[18:26] <dtech> anyone know?
[18:26] <LjL> blizzkid: try the same with epson and epkowa (one at a time - remember to comment out everything else in their .conf)
[18:27] <LjL> blizzkid: also, is that just a scanner or a multifunction device?
[18:27] <durt> !root > dtech,
[18:27] <blizzkid> LjL: multifunction
[18:27] <durt> !root > dtech
[18:27] <saerg> durt: vt7 comes up automatically if he restarts gdm
[18:27] <durt> saerg, true
[18:28] <don01> brb everyone
[18:28] <LjL> blizzkid: then try "sudo modprobe -r usblp ; sudo modprobe -r usb-storage" (make sure you have no USB drives plugged into anything when you do that)
[18:28] <dtech> so the root account IS disabled! ... anyway to active it?
[18:28] <grawity> LjL: btw, can you test your !something command on me? Because I think ubottu doesn't actually say anything when you get that text appended.....
[18:28] <LjL> !root | dtech
[18:28] <grawity> dtech: sudo passwd root
[18:28] <LjL> !bot > grawity    (grawity, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:28] <viclim__> evince print option is disabled, printer is up and test page can be printed, ideas
[18:28] <LjL> !noroot | grawity
[18:28] <blizzkid> LjL: when you say no usb drives, you mean only drives, so the multifunction can be plugged in?
[18:28] <durt> dtech, read the links first before you decide to do that
[18:28] <ohzie> does anyone know of a file manager that can change usermodes when needed, prompting for a sudo password? For instance, if I want to move something from my home directory into /var, or /opt, which belong to root?
[18:28] <grawity> Ah, right.
[18:29] <LjL> blizzkid: no, i mean any USB keys, or SD/CF/other flash cards, or USB disk drives
[18:29] <dtech> sudo is NOT a option ... /etc/groups has been modified and user is no longer in sudo group!
[18:30] <LjL> dtech: then reboot into recovery mode and "adduser youruser admin" to re-add yourself to the sudo group
[18:30] <junior> boa tarde a tds
[18:30] <LjL> !br | junior
[18:30] <ohzie> dtech, reboot the computer in single user mode
[18:30] <ohzie> dtech, You can do this by changing the grub/lilo boot line
[18:30] <tsai1> grawity: Ok, thanks!  I'll try it.
[18:30] <LjL> blizzkid: i'm saying to try this because i have a bug where my multifunction can only be used as a printer *or* as a scanner (*or* a card reader) - not both at the same time. so to scan, i  need to remove usblp (the printing module) and usb-storage (the card reader module)
[18:31] <Deevz> How can I activate the pretty desktop cube?
[18:31] <dtech> LjL: is there a doc on 'that' procedure I have about ten hours experience in the *nix world?
[18:31] <ohzie> dtech, This is why computer security depends on the attacker not having physical access to the computer. It's very easy to own a box you're sitting in front of. Just think like an attacker who doesn't have any inside way to achieve root access.
[18:31] <blizzkid> LjL: I can't remove usb-storage, it's in use (although I have no usb devices in use)
[18:31] <SoS11> does anyone know how to mount a folder in ram (ramdisk)??
[18:31] <[T]ank> what is a good program to use with ubuntu and iphone. Want to sync music.
[18:31] <LjL> blizzkid: "lsmod | grep storage" to know what it's using it
[18:32] <blizzkid> LjL: did that already :) output is usb_storage            81984  1
[18:32] <LjL> dtech: i'm not sure, but basically you just need to select "recovery mode" in your boot menu and then when it gives you a shell, do "adduser yourusername admin"
[18:32] <LjL> blizzkid: annoying
[18:32] <dtech> LjL: that simple, eh?
[18:32] <LjL> dtech: if it works, yes - otherwise you'll need to manually start it from bash, but try that first
[18:33] <dtech> does the 'admin' do the 'sudo' permissions slao?
[18:33] <LjL> blizzkid: you did use modprobe -r, not rmmod, right?
[18:33] <LjL> dtech: yes, the "admin" group is the users who can use "sudo"
[18:33] <blizzkid> right LjL
[18:33] <LjL> dtech: unless you've modified /etc/sudoers
[18:33] <Tokenekie> I need help on saving bluetooth profiles on a live USB bootable usb stick I created with UNetbootin?
[18:33] <Tokenekie> -?
[18:33] <ZING> does ubuntu have some shorta disk defrag and or a disk cleanup?
[18:33] <LjL> blizzkid: i could suggest trying "sudo rmmod -f usb-storage", but that might be dangerous
[18:34] <abhishekiitd> hey everyone i still cant shut down my x server, and hence still cant install my nvidia driver
[18:34] <LjL> ZING: no, not current versions (defrag - don't know about cleanup)
[18:34] <blizzkid> LjL: I'm not going to try that one indeed :)
[18:34] <abhishekiitd> please tell a surest method to shut it down
[18:34] <dtech> I haven't modded anything ... client system I got stuff admining ... I don't know 'what' else is messed up?
[18:34] <junior> gostaria de saber como configura o jogo ZSNES
[18:34] <ZING> do i need to do anything to keep it running smooth?
[18:34] <LjL> !es | junior
[18:34] <PhotoJim> abhishekiitd: open a terminal.  sudo gdm stop   ... assuming you are using standard Ubuntu and not kubuntu, etc.
[18:35] <PhotoJim> abhishekiitd: sorry.  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:35] <Downing> Hi
[18:35] <LjL> blizzkid: well, then perhaps you could try restarting in recovery mode, and trying to use the scanner from there (so the offending modules shouldn't be loaded in the first place, hopefully)
[18:35] <mshanks> having problems installing ubuntu on my desktop - everything seems to be going ok, until it tries to start hardware abstraction layer hald - at which point it freezes, changes from splash screen to more detailed log-type-list of previous operations, and sits like that - left it for 10 minutes with no change
[18:35] <abhishekiitd> PhotoJim: i have already tried duso gdm stop
[18:35] <abhishekiitd> PhotoJim: is it different drom sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[18:35] <LjL> the correct command is: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[18:35] <blizzkid> LjL: I read something about permissions in /proc/... but I don't remember the exact path... All I know is I didn't have that path when I last looked at it
[18:35] <abhishekiitd> PhotoJim: and moreover, i have also tried the 2nd one too
[18:36] <LjL> blizzkid: ah, right, there could be that problem too
[18:36] <PhotoJim> abhishekiitd: try LjL's suggestion, but mine should work, I have used it.
[18:36] <dtech> LjL if /etc/sudoers is modded, will the admin permissions added above provide enough to restore the sudoers file?
[18:36] <LjL> blizzkid: i use chmod g+rw /proc/bus/usb/001/00* ; chown root:scanner /proc/bus/usb/001/00*
[18:36] <LjL> blizzkid: your numbers may vary
[18:36] <grawity> dtech: If you haven't removed %admin from /etc/sudoers.
[18:36] <cabrilo_> hello.... is there an 8.10 installer ISO with all the latest updates? I'd like to take the disc to a friend on a slow connection, so I don't want 300mb (or whatever) of updates waiting after the installation
[18:36] <LjL> what he said, dtech.
[18:36] <blizzkid> LjL: /proc/bus/usb/ is empty
[18:37] <LjL> dtech, also, it was very foolish to modify sudoers without knowing how to fix it.
[18:37] <LjL> blizzkid: err.
[18:37] <dtech> grawity: And if it was ... then what course(s) are needed?
[18:37] <LjL> blizzkid: i have this set up on Debian. i guess they've changed stuff in Ubuntu.
[18:37] <grawity> dtech: boot into single user mode as explained above, then include this line in sudoers: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[18:38] <sid_> Hi there! Anybody there who can help me with my dual graphic adapters bug? I have a Radeon mobility HD3200 and HD3470 and in Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 the xsever doesn't start. In 8.04 all is well. Tried everything from using radeonhd, ati, radeon drivers to installing 8.04 , then the original ati drivers and upgrading...nothing works. Anyone with some knowledge about this?
[18:38] <kc8pxy> when setting up netboot instalation,  i should append preseed=/path/to/preseed.file ??
[18:38] <grawity> dtech: also, it's very recommended to use "visudo" for doing that - it checks if sudoers is valid.
[18:38] <blizzkid> LjL: that's painful :)
[18:38] <dtech> LjL: again ... I changed nothing! ... this is a client system ... this 'could' be a subotage of a previous IT person, or ignorance of an employee there?!
[18:38] <LjL> blizzkid: it might be /sys/bus/usb
[18:38] <sid_> btw. the bug is already filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/311748
[18:38] <genii> kc8pxy: Yes, in the kernel loading line of pxeboot.cfg  or so
[18:38] <cabrilo_> also, can Ubuntu's stock 32 bit kernel read 4gb ram?
[18:39] <LjL> dtech: ah, sorry, i didn't understand then. i don't know.
[18:39] <LjL> cabrilo_: no
[18:39] <packetcase> A friend of mine is trying to install ubuntu with a live cd. But he get's this error message when he tries to install: ACPI: Aborted because invalid compressed format (err=1)
[18:39] <LjL> packetcase: likely a faulty CD burn
[18:39] <LjL> !verify | packetcase
[18:39] <jpverkamp> Would this be the correct place to ask about a display issue concerning nvidia + Ubuntu 8.10 (I think)?
[18:39] <blizzkid> LjL: apparently you need to mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb/ I'll give that a go
[18:40] <dtech> If the sudoers file is modded ... can I boot to a Live CD and have sufficient permissions to change the necessary files on the installed OS?
[18:40] <mshanks> Hey all - was wondering if any one could offer some advice; I can't get past "Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer Hald" when trying to install on my desktop. (I've verified the CD already and it's ok). Any thoughts?
[18:40] <LjL> blizzkid: ah. well, perhaps you don't even need to mount it and you can just use /dev/bus/usb. anyway, try
[18:40] <packetcase> LjL: I have already used it to install ubuntu on my computer...
[18:40] <cabrilo_> LjL, :( thanks
[18:40] <LjL> dtech: for that matter, you can also just add "init=/bin/bash" to your kernel line from GRUB to boot into root.
[18:41] <LjL> packetcase: i don't know then
[18:41] <abhishekiitd> LjL:thanks your command for x server has worked...but my nvidia demands some kernel compilation..i think i need to get some essential library packages...what is the command for that?
[18:41] <Downing> Hello I'd like to speak to someone about graphic card's drivers and how I could sort them out. Currently I am using "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) [recommended]" but it's still quite bad and all dodgey of that makes any sense, scrolling isn't smooth and so on. I'd appreciate if someone could help me with this in private as there's quite a lot of people speaking in the channel. Thanks, P.S. I think ive got geforce 9600gs
[18:41] <abhishekiitd> somehting like sudo apt-get install essentials
[18:42] <packetcase> LjL: wait... Now he says it works?!
[18:42] <jpverkamp> Downing: Are you by chance having problems like this: http://jverkamp.com ?
[18:42] <cabrilo_> Downing: which card do you have? is it relatively new?
[18:42] <lo127> easiest way to check latest ssh logins? auth.log?
[18:42] <jpverkamp> Downing: http://jverkamp.com/Screenshot.png  Sorry.
[18:42] <Downing> I think it's GeForce 9600 GS
[18:42] <sid_> Anybody there who can help me with my dual graphic adapters bug? I have a Radeon mobility HD3200 and HD3470 and in Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 the xsever doesn't start. In 8.04 all is well. Tried everything from using radeonhd, ati, radeon drivers to installing 8.04 , then the original ati drivers and upgrading...nothing works. Anyone with some knowledge about this?
[18:42] <dtech> besides /etc/group and /etc/sudoers ... is there any other 'likely' files that could affect a users permissions?
[18:42] <cabrilo_> Downing: give me a second to try to find the link
[18:43] <blizzkid> LjL: no luck LjL (not even as root)
[18:43] <grawity> dtech: I think they're enough for sudo to work...
[18:43] <Downing> Nop nothing like in your screenshot
[18:43] <abhishekiitd> LjL:please give the command for installing essential library packages
[18:43] <Downing> It's alright, but it's not smooth if that makes any sense
[18:43] <abhishekiitd> p
[18:43] <jpverkamp> Downing: Ah, that's the issue I'm having with nvidia drivers.  Not sure about your issue, sorry.
[18:44] <LjL> abhishekiitd: "essential library packages"?
[18:44] <dtech> awesome .... thanks grawity, LjL and any others offering assistance ... it is appreciated
[18:44] <saerg> abhishekiitd: build-essential ?
[18:44] <Downing> I'm able to download drivers from the nvidia site, but then I don't know how to install them using console.
[18:44] <cabrilo_> Downing: it does... slow 2d... hold on, I have a script to fix the problem
[18:44] <Downing> thanks
[18:44] <cabrilo_> I just need to find it (at work now)
[18:44] <Downing> :)
[18:44] <abhishekiitd> LjL:yah something like sudo apt0get build essentials
[18:44] <LjL> !build-essential > abhishekiitd    (abhishekiitd, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:44] <abhishekiitd> LjL:yah something like sudo apt-get install essential
[18:44] <LjL> abhishekiitd: you don't need those unless you're trying to compile something
[18:44] <haytham-med> hi all, recording sound doesnot work
[18:45] <LjL> abhishekiitd: and if you need to compile something, make VERY sure you cannot get it from repositories instead
[18:45] <abhishekiitd> LjL:my nvidia installation requires some kernel installation
[18:45] <haytham-med> using sound recorder program

[18:45] <ferronica> How to remove ubuntu8.10 boot screen, i want to boot it in text mode like earlier version if ubuntu, what going behind while boot
[18:45] <LjL> abhishekiitd: use the official nvidia drivers provided with ubuntu please.

[18:46] <abhishekiitd> LjL:err, u mean?i cant install the file from nvidia site?
[18:46] <ferronica> LjL: hi
[18:46] <LjL> abhishekiitd: you can, but you SHOULD NOT.
[18:46] <LjL> ferronica: add a "nosplash" option to your kernel line
[18:47] <pist0l-fish> hi all, I am trying to use logger to push messages into the system log file but having no such luck. Does Ubuntu come with a different logging daemon?

[18:47] <J-_> When rkhunter gives a warning about /usr/sbin/whatever isn't present in the rkhunter.dat should I be concerned? It has also found some suspicious files in /dev/shm/.
[18:47] <LjL> ferronica: ?????
[18:47] <abhishekiitd> LjL:that's amazing,...i always thought drivers must be installed from their site
[18:48] <LjL> J-_: not very, if the files aren't in the db, perhaps it just doesn't know them yet - and i get the shm stuff too i think, isn't it just hidden files?
[18:48] <LjL> abhishekiitd: you were wrong. please read the link i gave you. nvidia drivers are INCLUDED with ubuntu, in a version specifically intended to work with ubuntu.

[18:52] <greyeagle> I have an issue with using mail support of f-spot. Anyone around?
[18:52] <Ienorand> Also, is there any way to use usb-creator to install an iso to a specific partition rather than a device?

[18:53] <LjL> abhishekiitd: is the package "nvidia-glx" installed?
[18:53] <abhishekiitd> LjL:how can i know?
[18:53] <LjL> abhishekiitd: apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
[18:54] <ferronica> LjL: ok done let me boot up now :)
[18:54] <dreamweb> pronoy: there is no package named xine... theres xine-ui and xine-console.. :S
[18:54] <abhishekiitd> LjL:upon checking:http://nopaste.org/p/aQ1CcFA5v
[18:54] <pronoy> dreamweb: you have to add a repository for that....unless you do that you won't be able to download it
[18:54] <LjL> abhishekiitd: uhm, wait, i'm thinking of Hardy, Intrepid has different package names there...
[18:55] <red-lichtie_> Ubuntu 8.10 with all latest patches, but for some reason the mouse-wheel scroll to next/prev desktop has stopped working. How can I get the "mouse wheel/switch desktop" working again ?
[18:55] <greyeagle> OK, if I mark an image in f-spot and use the file -> send as mail option, I get a mail template. If I save it very quickly within Thunderbird, everything works. If I wait a few seconds, Thunderbird can no longer find the image in the tmp folder. What could this be, something "stealing" the image?

[18:55] <Vcoder> Hi. Can anyone help me? I have trouble with Ubuntu 8.04.2 with kernel "2.6.24-23-generic": there is no response to inserting of any USB drive. Even "dmesg" says nothing. With kernel 2.6.24-16 all works fine...
[18:55] <dreamweb> has 9.04 been released?
[18:56] <pronoy> dreamweb: no
[18:56] <wrichtmyer> Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips after downloading the 9.04 beta. No, 9.04 hasn't been officially released.

[18:57] <LjL> abhishekiitd: actually - i don't know, things have changed too much in Intrepid, and i'm still using hardy
[18:57] <LjL> arkanabar: what's wrong with md5sum?
[18:57] <arkanabar> LjL:  how long should it need to check a 2.5 gb ISO?
[18:57] <RedWar> Wow Jaunty will be here soon.  I didbnot even get ibex lol
[18:57] <LjL> arkanabar: i don't know, that depends on your computer. but any md5 tool will take about the same time
[18:58] <abhishekiitd> LjL:SHOULD i try this method?https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[18:58] <Lossif> recently my comp the clock has been moving at almost 3x its normal speed, when I reboot it resets to the correct time, any ideas?
[18:58] <LjL> abhishekiitd: if you find you have no alternatives. i'd try envy first, though
[18:58] <arkanabar> LjL:  2.0 GHz 64 bit AMD w/ 1.5GB RAM and 64-bit Ibex.
[18:59] <LjL> abhishekiitd: but to begin with, i'd wait a little more to see if anybody has a better supported method to try
[18:59] <abhishekiitd> LjL:ok...but in the meantime, how can i install envy?
[18:59] <LjL> arkanabar: still no idea, i'm only familiar with how long *my* computer takes to do things :)
[18:59] <nacho> Hi
[18:59] <LjL> !envy
[18:59] <jpverkamp> abhishekiitd: It's not for the same issue, but I did install the drivers using the method you mentioned.  It didn't make anything better or worse.

[19:00] <ghang>  hi , i would like to know , how to set "file browser" (with panel) become the default file browser
[19:01] <LjL> abhishekiitd: i just don't know.
[19:01] <grawity> nmpribeiro: Hi. Just tell us what's your probiem.
[19:01] <nacho> I've installed ubuntu in a computer with a geforce mx 400, so after installing it I've installed nvidia-glx-96, and now when I start the computer it starts with 640x480, after it if I restart the x server the right resolution appears, any clue what can be my problem?
[19:01] <grawity> *problem
[19:02] <nmpribeiro> grawity: well, accessing a dv camera through expresscard/34 doesn't function. Not a hardware problem as it works in windows. permissions and access to raw are set... don't know

[19:03] <mamat_> hi, what tools can i use to reencode mp3s with different bitrate/quality/etc?
[19:03] <LjL> don't spam please
[19:03] <genii> nmpribeiro: Do you have libavc1394-0  package installed?
[19:04] <LjL> !info soundconverter | mamat_, this probably does it graphically, but keep in mind it's not generally a good idea to reencode lossy formats
[19:04] <Downing> What's the command line for terminal to instal Java?
[19:04] <LjL> !java > Downing    (Downing, see the private message from ubottu)
[19:04] <LjL> Downing: long story short, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[19:04] <nmpribeiro> genii:  libavc1394-0 is already the newest version.
[19:05] <mamat_> i tried soundconverter but there aren't many options :( can't remember the name of the command line tool
[19:05] <saerg> mamat_: lame?
[19:06] <LjL> mamat_: you can pipe any mp3 decoder into any mp3 encoder. you'll lose quality, obviously.
[19:07] <saerg> LjL: lame has a buildin decoder
[19:07] <LjL> never said otherwise
[19:07] <mamat_> lookin at lame's man page... thx

[19:16] <pauldb> if you want java for firefox
[19:17] <sebsebseb> Downing: probably easier to run this, then you get Flash, and AVI and MP3 suppourt etc. as well.   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:17] <pauldb> you do it by entering this in a terminal : sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[19:17] <sebsebseb> Downing: or  what pauldb said
[19:17] <Downing> im doing this already -> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:17] <dreamweb> tonyyarusso: hmm.. ok thanks
[19:17] <pauldb> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin then restart firefox and tadaam

[19:24] <eqisow> jpverkamp: I suggest trying the nv drivers. if that fixes we'll know if a different version of the nvidia drivers might help. Or, if you don't need 3D, you could just stick with them
