[07:49] <toastedmilk> Quick question:  I need the terminal command to find the model of my wired NIC.  Anyone?
[07:49] <DIFH-iceroot> dislo: the easiest way is using cron with @reboot, you can also use the rc
[07:49] <d-_-b> does anyone know if wine can load .iso files?
[07:49] <jmazaredo> eth2 and eth3 and lo  only is listed. no eht0
[07:49] <amt2_> does the filezilla version for ubuntu support GSS?
[07:49] <paul68> DIFH-iceroot: this is the current config isp dlink with <IP_ADDRESS> eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> server eth1 <IP_ADDRESS>  linksys switch/ap  <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:49] <dzup> Linux alex 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux <--sm here, soo am gutsy  ?
[07:49] <ikonia> xiangfu that is for redhat based systems
[07:50] <ikyn> Thanks ikonia
[07:50] <ikonia> jmazaredo: ok, so you just need to tell your torrent client to use eth1
[07:50] <paul68> DIFH-iceroot: not able to connect to the internet when I'm behind the linksys ap
[07:50] <kmg> xiangfu: no idea where it would be if I don't use wifi-radar?
[07:50] <dislo> xiangfu: DIFH-iceroot: thanks for the help
[07:50] <DIFH-iceroot> paul68: so you want to route <IP_ADDRESS>/24 to <IP_ADDRESS>/24?
[07:51] <jmazaredo> huh? what torrent client?
[07:51] <paul68> DIFH-iceroot: correct **please note I am the office and not able to connect to my server at this point**
[07:51] <thanh> [question | startup/shutdown]  Hi, does anyone know how i can view the startup/shutdown information as it boots or shuts down?
[07:51] <ikonia> jmazaredo: sorry I thought you said your torrent client was giving you errors on eth0
[07:51] <toastedmilk> Quick question:  I need the terminal command to find the model of my wired NIC.  Anyone?
[07:51] <ikonia> toastedmilk: lspci
[07:52] <jmazaredo> nope its firestarter and when i try to start/stop the network
[07:52] <toastedmilk> ikonia, ty!
[07:52] <ikonia> jmazaredo: ahh
[07:52] <ikonia> jmazaredo: then your firestart rules need re-writing
[07:52] <DIFH-iceroot> toastedmilk: dmesg | grep eth   that is what i would do
[07:52] <woody86> can someone help me out, my wireless in 8.10 only works for about 2 mins, then disconnects from network, and won't reconnect until I restart comp, and when I restart comp my harddrive is in read-only mode??
[07:52] <ikyn> Ikonia: I'm trying to upgrade libpcap to a newer version that what comes with Ubuntu
[07:52] <ikonia> ikyn: for what purpose, it's quite near the latest
[07:53] <ianm_> is there a reason why the 'lo' interface doesn't support UDP broadcasts out of the box?
[07:53] <paul68> DIFH-iceroot: but ay sugestions are more then welcome
[07:53] <ikonia> ikyn: because it's a loop back interface
[07:53] <paul68> DIFH-iceroot: *any
[07:53] <kmg> does anybody know where ubuntu stores network encryption keys?
[07:53] <ikyn> ikonia: for the purpose of having the latest I can have, and for learning how to troubleshoot compiling
[07:53] <DIFH-iceroot> paul68: and the router/gateway is a pc? or a real router/gateway?
[07:53] <ikonia> ikyn: that makes no sense
[07:53] <EJ> jmazaredo ... ikonia ... would dropping down the eth1 and eth2 in /etc/network/interfaces to eth0 and eth1 possibly work and then restart network ?
[07:54] <ikonia> ikyn: chose something other than libpcap for that learning lesson as licpcap is linked into a few things
[07:54] <paul68> DIFH-iceroot: router is going to be the the server yes with dhcp and bind running correctly
[07:54] <ikyn> ikonia: alright - thanks for cluing me into the repo though
[07:54] <burntash> anybody using an HP laptop, preferably dv6000/6700t

[07:56] <Furyaev> Hello! Is there a way to make Pidgin asknowledge me of new messages?
[07:56] <ikyn> ikonia: thanks!
[07:56] <burntash> thanh: i read it might be related to the wireless, so i installed the backport modules. so far no freeze/lockups
[07:56] <halldor89> Furyaev, there's a plugin preferences or something. Enable notification plugin.
[07:56] <nite_johnboy> I picked up a older computer from a friend - It is a P-III - 667Mhz - With aprox 750MB ram - I think it would be to slow to run Hardy or Ibex - Any other ideas ? ? - Thought about Fluxbuntu maybe.
[07:57] <toastedmilk> DIFH-iceroot, I found it, but this is my real problem:  I ping <IP_ADDRESS>(myself?  the router?) and get 0% successful packet transfer, as appossed to entirely not finding the address.  I have already tested my ethernet cords, and they are working fine.  I have also tested other computers on my network, and they work fine, but mine won't work even when they aren't using bandwidth.
[07:57] <ikonia> nite_johnboy: it will run, have a look and see how it works for you
[07:57] <Furyaev> halldor89, I've checked everything there
[07:57] <joot> kmg< do you think this will help you? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-security-tools-available-in-ubuntu.html
[07:57] <TiGGY> hey, can somebody help me with a nvidia sli setup?
[07:57] <Furyaev> It raised yesterday, but do not raise today.
[07:57] <ikonia> TiGGY: be aware sli is VERY selective due to the closed source drivers
[07:58] <nite_johnboy> ikonia: What will run the fluxbuntu I mentioned ?
[07:58] <joot> kmg, do you think this will help you? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-security-tools-available-in-ubuntu.html
[07:58] <thanh> burntash: i didn't experience that.. mine is a  Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN

[07:58] <TiGGY> I can only have one gpu in at a time
[07:58] <sainathas> hey where i can see the source code of libwnck functions?
[07:58] <ikonia> nite_johnboy: what do you mean what will run it
[07:58] <TiGGY> not both
[07:58] <ikonia> TiGGY: thats not uncommon
[07:58] <burntash> thanh: ah.  yea im just curious what could be freezing it up, because everything on it works flawlessly terrific.  aside from these random lockups when nothings even open
[07:58] <ikyn> ikonia: I'm trying to run Kismet, and I've already installed via the apt-get install command. How do I run the ./configure file within that installation?
[07:59] <TiGGY> ikonia: i've also tried revisions 96, 173 , 177 and 180 (BETA)
[07:59] <ikonia> ikyn: you don't need to use configure
[07:59] <ikonia> ikyn: if you have installed it via apt-get - you don't need to run configure
[07:59] <ikyn> ok
[07:59] <thanh> burntash: so a total crash and require reset?
[07:59] <ikyn> ikonia: I've changed my network adaptor since then, should I change something then?
[07:59] <ikonia> ikyn: no
[07:59] <on5sl> i've got problems with floola on intrepid 64 bit...i've read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640464&highlight=libgstreamer+64 bit those packages aren't in intrepid

[08:00] <toastedmilk> I ping <IP_ADDRESS>(myself?  the router?) and get 0% successful packet transfer, as oppossed to entirely not finding the address.

Realtek(8139/8139C/8139C+), AMD64.  Can someone help?
[08:00] <burntash> thanh: yea, keyboard and mouse lockup. capslock button light flashing. gotta power off and reboot.  and im not seeing anything recorded to the system logs
[08:00] <ikonia> TiGGY: I'd ask on the nvidia forums or in #nvidia, beacuse the driver is closed source there is limited knowledge/experience with it
[08:00] <TiGGY> ta.
[08:01] <ikonia> toastedmilk: thats a public IP address
[08:01] <ikonia> toastedmilk: ou should ping the routers non-public ip address
[08:01] <burntash> thanh: i imagine if i have nothing running but my wireless is connecting to the network... and theres a known kernel panic for my exact model wireless card being the problem.  im hopeful thats the issue and the backports fixed it. so far ive been up for 30 minutes with no lock up
[08:01] <sainathas> hey where i can see the ubuntu source code?
[08:01] <burntash> :)
[08:01] <ikonia> sainathas: source code to what
[08:01] <nite_johnboy> ikonia: I mean I want it to run fast enough and not be to slow - I know there lighter versions of Linux out - This probably is not the best place to ask this - but thought someone might have some advice. I currently run Intrepid Ibex on this box - but it is a power house Dual Core w/3GB ram - nice Nvidia, etc etc.
[08:02] <toastedmilk> ikonia, how do I find that?
[08:02] <sainathas> i want the source code of libwnck functions
[08:02] <ikonia> toastedmilk: it's normally your network gateway
[08:02] <u007> hi, why does my sdcard does not auto mount?
[08:03] <sainathas> ikonia: i want to see the source code of libwnck functions
[08:03] <ikonia> nite_johnboy 8.10 gnome should run fine on it, just disable advanced graphics in compiz
[08:03] <ikonia> sainathas get the source package libwnck-common
[08:04] <nite_johnboy> ikonia: ok will give it a try - could install fluxbox as well.
[08:04] <nite_johnboy> thanks

[09:01] <ampleyfly> sainathas: maybe they're numbered from 0 and up?
[09:01] <jim_p> zax: are you up to install vbox additions there? you will also need the kernel headers for the installer to continue

[09:04] <awk> zax thats how I feel about the GUI I have used *nix for over 10 years... and decided to use a GUI to see what its like and it puts things everywhere I dont want it.. and writes configs that dont work, etc...
[09:04] <jim_p> awk: well i want the wired interface on the laptop to have static ip for my home network, but i need a wireless tool for other wireless spots. wicd can be set not to manage the wired, but i want something else

[09:10] <Myrtti> ValentineXX: you could install bzr, or you could just wait until the package is rolled to the PPA. I assume it won't take that long this time
[09:10] <jim_p> hightide: port forwarding maybe?
[09:10] <ValentineXX> Myrtti: ok thanks :)

[09:13] <jim_p> dunno more, used tor rarely
[09:14] <mojo> Um... i feel dumb, but what log file should i be looking at for a server crash?  I am familiar with /var/log to some degree but not sure where the best place to start is for crash of unknown cause.  the messages.0 file has tonnes of network crap in it (this is a home firewall/router and server).  Nothing useful jumped out.  The kern.log.0 file had much the same but ends with zen exiting signal 15 !?

[09:34] <DIFH-iceroot> WIGGMPk: LTS is more important for me then the newest software
[09:34] <fresco20> coz_, for sure
[09:34] <con-man> jim_p: tried changing it, nothing
[09:34] <coz_> fresco20, well actually all you really had to do was go to system/preferences/appearacne/visual effects and select "None" to shut it down

[09:39] <elkbuntu> con-man, yes, i dont need or want to know the subject though.
[09:39] <awk> jim_p should I try downloading my own driver and use ndiswrapper, etc?
[09:40] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jim_p, if I save a doc in txt it will read it??
[09:40] <histo> I'll just remove the .kde directory brb
[09:40] <jim_p> awk: no, not ndiswrapper
[09:40] <con-man> elkbuntu: I thought conveying the urgency of the issue might help
[09:40] <jim_p> U-b-u-n-t-u: i think so.
[09:40] <ubuntu_> anyone?

[09:41] <jim_p> ubuntu_: reinstall grub :(
[09:41] <ubuntu_> how?
[09:41] <jim_p> !grub
[09:41] <elkbuntu> con-man, no, it does not convey any sort of urgency, just your lack of manners and consideration for this family-friendly channel.

[09:43] <ValentineXX> How to know from Ubuntu that i am on 32bit or 64bit? and what is my motherboard 32 or 64?
[09:43] <DIFH-iceroot> _spm_Draget: dpkg-reconfigure
[09:43] <jim_p> Dolo: define the difference between 4 desktops and 4 virtual desktops
[09:43] <joaopinto> _spm_Draget, If it does not ask for a configuration, is because the install/configure script does not provide such interface
[09:43] <Frogzoo> ValentineXX: lshw will show
[09:43] <roy_hobbs> Hey is there any way to bring the network back up right away when coming out of suspend?  Right now it waits until I log back in.
[09:43] <joaopinto> _saw, dpkg -L ldap-auth-client , look for the files on /etc
[09:44] <jim_p> ValentineXX: uname -r will tell you the kernel if its 64 bit or not
[09:44] <Frogzoo> ValentineXX: also uname -m
[09:44] <Dolo> anyone here using compiz familiar with virtual desktop?
[09:44] <ValentineXX> i686 what is this?
[09:44] <Frogzoo> ValentineXX: 32
[09:44] <jim_p> ValentineXX: and any cpu less that 4 years old can run 64 bit

[09:59] <NewFAQs> WIFI ON UBUNTU AND ITS SUPPORTED DRIVERS 8.10 SUCK! and dont work.
[09:59] <U-b-u-n-t-u> oh we have a help channel on another network and I just wondered if they was a tcl
[09:59] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, what is your problem?
[09:59] <U-b-u-n-t-u> sometimes people arent around to help there
[09:59] <ikonia> NewFAQs: if you want support, ask, if you want to rant, go else where
[09:59] <NewFAQs> I asked for help.
[09:59] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: tcl ?
[10:00] <Serraphyn> NewFAQs, not a very good way to get help ranting like that
[10:00] <U-b-u-n-t-u> yeah like eggdrop tcl?
[10:00] <U-b-u-n-t-u> script
[10:00] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, Please have some patience... now what kind of card do you have?
[10:00] <Serraphyn> Frogzoo, I did that, I have Xorg using 834m under Virt
[10:00] <U-b-u-n-t-u> but I guess its  a help bot someone programed?
[10:00] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: search the net, tehre are plenty of eggdrop scripts around, not really an ubuntu issue
[10:01] <U-b-u-n-t-u> oh I know ikonia
[10:01] <NewFAQs> I have a atheros 801
[10:01] <felixdz> Is there a good doc on how to troubleshoot pulseaudio? It worked in Hardy but has failed after upgrade.
[10:01] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I was just asking if that was a tcl on the bot here
[10:01] <NewFAQs> 80*.** atheros wifi
[10:01] <Mulder> better yet, how do i reset pulse audio
[10:01] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u it's a supybot
[10:01] <Frogzoo> NewFAQs: caps & raving don't help to get help, wifi on broadcom chips suck, it's true
[10:01] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, Ok stand by for a sec
[10:01] <U-b-u-n-t-u> nice thanks ikonia
[10:01] <Mulder> alsa/oss programs still play sound
[10:01] <NewFAQs> Its not a broadband its a atheros?
[10:02] <Frogzoo> NewFAQs: ok, so support is good, & doesn't suck
[10:02] <ikonia> NewFAQs a broadband ?
[10:02] <Mulder> ah!
[10:02] <Mulder> that was easy
[10:02] <NewFAQs> sory broadcom*
[10:02] <Mulder> delete .pulse and .pulse-cookie
[10:02] <NewFAQs> Its a ATheros
[10:02] <NewFAQs> not broadcom
[10:02] <Serraphyn> Frogzoo, so only have 25% of my ram free is normal?
[10:03] <Frogzoo> Serraphyn: perfectly normal
[10:03] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, does Ubuntu recognise the card?
[10:03] <Serraphyn> k, thats good to know
[10:03] <Serraphyn> lspci -l | grep atheros ?
[10:04] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, Serraphyn that is right, lspci | grep atheros
[10:04] <klaim> why is ubuntu slow when watching videos?
[10:04] <NewFAQs> Mechdave it says in "DRIVER Organizer thing" That the 802.11 is no priorty driver atheros card in use?
[10:04] <Serraphyn> LOL I'm amazed that just popped in my head
[10:04] <ikonia> Mechdave that doesn't mean ubuntu recognises the card, that is just a match to pciid's file
[10:05] <Frogzoo> klaim: cos you're on a P3?
[10:05] <Serraphyn> ikonia, its a start
[10:05] <ikonia> Serraphyn: in what way ?
[10:05] <Mechdave> ikonia, Oh ok, is there a better way?
[10:06] <ikonia> Mechdave see if the correct kernel module is loaded, thats what shoes it's recognised, or look in dmesg or the syslog
[10:06] <ikonia> shows even
[10:06] <Serraphyn> ikonia, if it sees it there he knows to to grep for from dmesg
[10:06] <ikonia> Serraphyn no
[10:06] <ikonia> Serraphyn: pciids is just a reference file, it doesn't mean recognises it
[10:06] <NewFAQs> Wow, I am such a Noob and all i want is wifi working :(
[10:06] <Serraphyn> k, thats how I got a wifi to work but w/e
[10:07] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, Try dmesg | grep atheros
[10:07] <Serraphyn> NewFAQs, I had to buy a card that was on the Wifi list for linux someone gave me once to get it to work
[10:07] <NewFAQs> I am using Acer Aspire 5570z everything else works fine ATheros 802.11 PCI card, and wifi won't turn on and driver is enabled.
[10:07] <ikonia> NewFAQs: do you know how to use a pastebin ?
[10:07] <NewFAQs> How do i try that?
[10:08] <NewFAQs> No
[10:08] <NewFAQs> I am new to this :(
[10:08] <ikonia> !paste > NewFAQs
[10:08] <ikonia> NewFAQs: check out that first of all
[10:08] <ikonia> NewFAQs: then I'm going to ask you to put some information in it for me to see
[10:09] <NewFAQs> Ummm what? I am confused :( I dont know.
[10:09] <Serraphyn> NewFAQs, good luck with wifi, took me 2 weeks to get it to work on a recommended card but maybe you will get lucky.
[10:09] <ikonia> NewFAQs ubottu just sent you a private message
[10:09] <Serraphyn> Pastebin confuses you?
[10:09] <NewFAQs> I didn't undestand it and closed it.
[10:09] <ikonia> NewFAQs: check the info ubottu just sent you
[10:09] <ikonia> NewFAQs: what wasn't clear?
[10:09]  * Serraphyn hands NewFAQs a rope to tie to his pc to turn it into a boat anchor
[10:10] <NewFAQs> I have to download something called paste? That is irrelevant to wifi?
[10:10] <Mechdave> !paste > mechdave
[10:10] <ikonia> NewFAQs: never mind, if you can't be bothered to read it, I'll leave it there
[10:10] <NewFAQs> I didn't understand it I AM A NOOB.
[10:10] <sinan> How can i know if my wireless driver support txpower change?
[10:10] <ikonia> NewFAQs: it said to visit a website, thats all
[10:10] <ikonia> NewFAQs: it's clear you didn't read it
[10:10] <Frogzoo> sinan: try changing it :)
[10:10] <NewFAQs> You can just say SEP l dpg command to noobs
[10:11] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, You need to use a pastebin to send multiple lines of text to this channel
[10:11] <omgitsashark> Hey all
[10:11] <NewFAQs> well can you please PM me it again
[10:11] <omgitsashark> I am looking for a program that would let me teather my motoq to the internet on linux
[10:11] <Serraphyn> I stand by my boat anchor comment
[10:11] <subir> any good documentation for using rsync?
[10:11] <sinan> Frogzoo: i did, iwconfig reports it has been changed, but I don't feel it is. I lowered it very much and I still can communicate with an AP 2 rooms away!
[10:11] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[10:12] <Mechdave> !paste > NewFAQs
[10:12] <NewFAQs> Ok I opened the URL
[10:12] <Serraphyn> !paste > Serraphyn
[10:12] <NewFAQs> Ok so i paste your name in the "poster"
[10:12] <NewFAQs> ?
[10:13] <Serraphyn> NewFAQs, your the poster
[10:13] <NewFAQs> Oh ok.
[10:13] <Serraphyn> NewFAQs, as in you are the one posting
[10:13] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, Hang on shall give you a little help with it
[10:13] <NewFAQs> Ok i entered my name,
[10:13] <NewFAQs> Now what do i need to post?
[10:14]  * Serraphyn wishes Mechdave and ikonia good luck on the next few parts
[10:14] <cosmodad> I just replaced g++ version 4.3 by 4.2, but now it won't create a proper link from /usr/bin/g++ to /usr/bin/g++-4.2. Shouldn't Ubuntu be smart enough to do this by its own? Is this a bug?
[10:14] <ikonia> cosmodad I would have thought so
[10:14] <Serraphyn> cosmodad, you downgraded?
[10:15] <cosmodad> Serraphyn: g++? yes.
[10:15] <ikonia> cosmodad: what does the /etc/alternatives file show ?
[10:15] <Mechdave> Serraphyn, thanks :)
[10:15] <Serraphyn> cosmodad, something wrong with 4.3?
[10:15] <Mechdave> http://paste.ubuntu.com/73297/
[10:15] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73297/
[10:15]  * NewFAQs Waits to know what to paste in that box.
[10:15] <cosmodad> Serraphyn: it wouldn't compile a specific project with 4.3, so I wanted to try 4.2.
[10:15] <cosmodad> ikonia: I checked that, but actually there is neither a g++ nor gcc link in /etc/alternatives.
[10:16] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, Ok now do a dmesg > pastefile.txt in a terminal
[10:16] <ikonia> cosmodad: most odd
[10:16] <ikonia> cosmodad: waht does "which g++" show
[10:16] <cosmodad> ikonia: empty.
[10:16] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, then gedit pastefile.txt
[10:16] <NewFAQs> newfaqs@Acer:~$ dmesg > pastefile.txt
[10:16] <NewFAQs> newfaqs@Acer:~$
[10:16] <nucco> hi, how do I empty trash from the commandline?
[10:17] <cosmodad> ikonia: the only g++-related binary in /usr/bin is g++-4.2.
[10:17] <Frogzoo> sinan: oic
[10:17] <Mechdave> then select all and paste it into the content box
[10:17] <NewFAQs> Ok i am not going to bother, Is there any other linux beter than this?
[10:17] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, then select all and paste it into the content box
[10:17] <NewFAQs> Nothing came up when i did that
[10:18] <Serraphyn> NewFAQs, they all are pretty much the same when it comes to WiFi issue.  If you don't want to take a few minutes withsomeone go back to some mindless OS like Mac or winblows
[10:18] <nucco> I can't find the trash folder from the terminal
[10:18] <NewFAQs> I just typed that in a terminal and nothing happened?
[10:18] <ikonia> Serraphyn: it's called windows please
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> !trash
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: so old isnt it
[10:18] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: agreed
[10:18] <nucco> ActionParsnip: thanks :)
[10:19] <NewFAQs> No offence, but if windows XP can run wireless and this can't well obviously its clear to which OS is better.
[10:19] <Serraphyn> ikonia, no thanks, since XP it lost that name
[10:19] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, It does take a lot of working out to get all things going... It took me a good 3 months to get myself half confident when I started
[10:19] <ikonia> NewFAQs: your welcoem to chose your OS
[10:19] <ikonia> NewFAQs: sorry, welcome to choose your OS
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> NewFAQs: in your case, if thats how you determine quality, then yes absolutely
[10:19] <NewFAQs> Mechdave can you PM me please.
[10:19] <Serraphyn> NewFAQs, enjoy spending like 2 grand getting the same benifits from windows you get from ubuntu
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> NewFAQs: i pretty much garuntee ndiswrapper will make it work
[10:19] <Mechdave> NewFAQs, sure
[10:20] <NewFAQs> i tried installing nds wrapper and i couldnt work out the command lines
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> NewFAQs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31926
[10:21] <bmagoha> Now how can i install .rpm packages in ubuntu 8.04
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> bmagoha: you really shouldnt, you should try to find .deb or compile source
[10:22] <remoteCTR1> have the names of libqt4 components been changed in intrepid? cos i cant install skype anymore...
[10:22] <ikonia> bmagoha: rpm's are not meant for ubuntu, what software are you looking for ?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> bmagoha: if you REALLY have to you can use alien
[10:22] <Serraphyn> bmagoha, I thought I saw a prog called rpm2deb, might google it
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> !alien | bmagoha
[10:22] <vega> NewFAQs: it's not like it's ubuntu/linux fault if your wlan card maker doesn't provide proper drivers for it

[10:27] <jim_p> 64bit flash native by adobe!!! http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/            yeeeeee. 2 more gigs and i am out for 64!
[10:28] <nabilgod> Ohh Ubuntu lets you install the live cd to a USB pen drive, but it alows for persistance
[10:28] <pvandewyngaerde> how can i delete lvm groups in alternate intallation ?
[10:28] <nabilgod> but it boots just like a live cd with crappy options, but i can't find where to change the grub startup
[10:29] <ikonia> pvandewyngaerde you need to remoev all the logical volumes, deactivate teh group, remove the disks, then remove the volume group
[10:29] <pvandewyngaerde> but they are in use, i can not remove them
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | nabilgod
[10:30] <ikonia> pvandewyngaerde then you need to umount them
[10:30] <ikonia> pvandewyngaerde: how do you expect to remove a volume group if it's in use
[10:30] <pvandewyngaerde> is is not mounted, it is free space
[10:31] <ikonia> pvandewyngaerde then what is using the volume group ?
[10:31] <remoteCTR1> what is a transitional package?
[10:31] <pvandewyngaerde> i wanted to create an encrypted partition,   but in auto mode it wastes my space to swap space
[10:32] <ikonia> pvandewyngaerde what is using the volume group
[10:32] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: When a package changes names (or is replaced, etc), the oldpackage sticks around for a release, so people upgrading get the new one.
[10:32] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: can i install both verions simultaneously?
[10:32] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: for example, when gaim was renamed to pidgin, the release where gaim didn't exist (but pidgin did), "gaim" was still a package, which depended solely on "pidgin"
[10:33] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: No, the old version doesn't exist.  It merely depends on the new version as a package.
[10:33] <pvandewyngaerde> i have a lvm vg eeepc lv root   and a lvm vg eeepc lv swap , using lvm on sda1 crypt
[10:33] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: oh i see so if i apt-get install the old version it installs the new one and puts a link top it?
[10:33] <remoteCTR1> to not top
[10:34] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: No, the old one doesn't get installed.  Transitional packages exist solely for package manager purposes, not for files on your system.
[10:34] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: It's not a "real" package, which is why its labelled transitional.
[10:34] <pvandewyngaerde> i can remove the partitions, in the lvm vg, but not the lvm itself
[10:34] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: so i also cant install it, what do i do to get my skype installation running then?
[10:35] <apeiron> Use Ekiga?
[10:35]  * apeiron ducks
[10:35] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: What do you mean?  What does skype depend on thats a transitional package?
[10:35] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: i just tryed by setting a softlink to the new versions but that dont work
[10:35] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: exactly
[10:35] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: No, that was a question.  Do you not have skype as a deb?
[10:36] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: screams for libqt4-core and -gui but those now are named libqtcore4 and libqtgui4
[10:36] <xim__> how can i reinstall my sound driver in ubuntu?
[10:36] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: Get a package for your Ubuntu version (that one is for an older version)
[10:36] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: i do have it as .deb but as said when i dpkg -i that it screams
[10:36] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: well there is no other on the homepage
[10:37] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: This is for Intrepid?
[10:37] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: Whats wrong with the version in medibuntu?
[10:38] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: it is for ubuntu 7.04+ and ther is no other on skypes homepage
[10:38] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: i guess nothing but i am not running medibuntu...
[10:38] <MrMist> I'm having REALLY big problems with setting up a LDAP client on intrepid
[10:38] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: You can download the package from medibuntu separately.
[10:38] <Flannel> !medibuntu | remoteCTR1
[10:39] <MrMist> Any LDAP experts around ?
[10:39] <M0badedr> hello all
[10:39] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: welli welli welli dont lough at me please but i just tryed out what happens if i try n install that transitional package, and you know what? it worked:D
[10:39] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: skype installed and running
[10:40] <M0badedr> my server is not resolving names example yahoo.com
[10:40] <Flannel> remoteCTR1: Even if the package works, skype may not (and it might act oddly even if it runs).  You really should just get the completely up to date version from medibuntu
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> M0badedr: add some public dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf
[10:40] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: that a point..
[10:40] <M0badedr> ok let me try
[10:40] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: very vell will do so, thanks alot!:)
[10:41] <theFariztha> thanks jim_p :)
[10:41] <jim_p> hahaha
[10:41] <jim_p> you are welcome theFariztha
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> M0badedr: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/public-dns-servers.shtml
[10:42] <remoteCTR1> Flannel: one more i got as you seem to be familiar with medibuntu: can you create home vids with that? meaning are there tools to create home vids for linux?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> !info avidemux
[10:43] <Serva> Is there any possible way to be able to work on ubuntu on windows vista, without creating a separate partition and all
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Serva: virtual box / vmware
[10:44] <Serva> How do I do that that ActionParsnip
[10:44] <Mechdave> Serva, you can try wubi
[10:45] <apeiron> VirtualPC!
[10:45] <Serva> looks awezommm Mechdave, trying it now
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> !virtualbox | serva
[10:45] <apeiron> er, VirtualBox, rather
[10:45] <apeiron> yeah, that. :) I get 'em confused.
[10:46] <M0badedr> ActionParsnip:i added 2 public dns from my ISP
[10:46] <M0badedr> did not work
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> M0badedr: add a few of those
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> M0badedr: those are openly accessible by all and will resolve web addresses to ip
[10:47] <M0badedr> ya ya i know look i used sudo pico /etc/resolve.conf and i added two dns servers still not working
[10:48] <david_> how to change user name on kubuntu 8.10??
[10:48] <phantomcircuit> i want to setup a software raid 1 for two hdd how cna i do that?
[10:48] <khussein78> join #centos
[10:49] <david_> Is there any way to change User Name [kubuntu 8,10]
[10:49] <^Cheeky> my computer seems to have crashed or lost something, because i woke up today and i have all my book marks missing, and my trash bin icon in my desktop dissapeared. i also visited some sites on firefox, and checked in my history if it woul be added and nothing was there!  for some reason also my internet seems very very slow almost like dial up speeds, and when i try to use my torrent client it only reaches 23 kbs, even if the torrent
[10:49] <^Cheeky>  is well seeded, can anyone please tell me what might have happened or whats going on ?
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Serva: fyi, you will NOT be able to game in the VM
[10:50] <Mechdave> david_, use usermod to change your username. read the manual for it by typing man usermod in a terminal
[10:50] <adam7> !raid | phantomcircuit
[10:50] <M0badedr> ActionParsnip:Any ideas ???
[10:51] <david_> Mechdave: thank you
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> M0badedr: can you ping websites by ip?
[10:51] <M0badedr> ya i can
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> M0badedr: what do you get from nslookup <web address>
[10:51] <sinan> how can i know the version of iwlwifi that I am running ?
[10:51] <romilus> привет все
[10:52] <Mechdave> david_, no problems, give us another call if you run into trouble after reading the manual
[10:52] <bazhang> !ru | romilus
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> sinan: dpkg -l | grep iwlwifi
[10:52] <M0badedr> ActionParsnip:connection time out;no servers could be reached
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> can you ping the dns servers?
[10:53] <sinan> ActionParsnip: it doesn't return anything ..
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> M0badedr: if you can install traceroute, perform a traceroute test
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> sinan: dpkg -l | grep -i wifi
[10:54] <sinan> ActionParsnip: still nothing ! :)
[10:54] <M0badedr> i can ping the gateway
[10:54] <Elmnas> can someone help me to install a .tar.bz2 I have it on my desktop please
[10:54] <bazhang> Elmnas, what package
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> sinan: ok then we'll go all out: dpkg -l | less
[10:55] <Elmnas> bazhang rt2870-kernel-2.6.24-nemesis.tar.bz2
[10:55] <M0badedr> and the packey tarceroute is not installed
[10:55] <abayomi> Does anyone here know anything about freenx vnc server
[10:55] <abayomi> ?
[10:55] <M0badedr> packa*ge
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> sinan: if you didnt install it via package then i dont know
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !freenx | abayomi
[10:56] <bazhang> Elmnas, please keep it in channel
[10:56] <sinan> ActionParsnip: yes, i didn't indeed. I think it comes bundled with the Kernel
[10:56] <Elmnas> ok
[10:56] <Smorg> I'm putting kubuntu on a friend's xp machine. Theres no free local storage and thus no swap. Is there a way to boot without x, then use nbd-client to swapon a swap file created with dd over a lan, then start x?
[10:56] <abayomi> ubottu: I have been trying to install it on my server remotely
[10:56] <Elmnas> bazhang its a patch to use a program
[10:57] <ikonia> Smorg you don't need swap to boot
[10:57] <bazhang> Elmnas, what version of ubuntu and have you patched before
[10:57] <Elmnas> bazhang can you remote please I dont understand the readme file
[10:57] <M0badedr> do anyone know public DNS server i can ping ???
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> sinan: man lsmod
[10:57] <Smorg> ikonia: you do if there isn't enough ram to load an entire instance of kde4.
[10:57] <an> hello,guys
[10:57] <ikonia> M0badedr: you can ping any server, doesn't have to be a dns
[10:57] <Elmnas> bazhang I have never patched before and Im running xandros eee
[10:57] <ikonia> Smorg: dead then
[10:58] <Elmnas> bazhang maybe wrong channel
[10:58] <ikonia> Smorg: you could boot single user mode ?
[10:58] <M0badedr> ikoia: i can ping any ip
[10:58] <ikonia> Smorg: thats as minimal as it can get
[10:58] <sinan> ActionParsnip: yeah, tried lsmod before, but it doesn't seem to show the version.
[10:58] <bazhang> Elmnas, why not run ubuntu on that eeepc
[10:58] <ikonia> M0badedr: sure, if there is no firewal blocking it
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> sinan: is there any switches you can put on lsmod to show versions
[10:58] <bazhang> !eeepc
[10:58] <Elmnas> bazhang I used eeeubuntu but It was so slow
[10:58] <M0badedr> i resolve the yahoo ip address form another computer and i ping it form my server it worked but the server is not resoling any host name
[10:58] <jeremiah1> What program writes over /etc/motd everytime I reboot?
[10:58] <jeremiah1> I wish it wouldn't do that
[10:59] <sinan> ActionParsnip: not according to man
[10:59] <ikonia> M0badedr: sounds like a problem with your dns server
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: install it then use fluxbox instead of metacity
[10:59] <bazhang> Elmnas, you could install ubuntu then add the lxde (much lighter than gnome)
[10:59] <Elmnas> lxde whats thaht?
[10:59] <ikonia> jeremiah1: used to be an init script, picks up /etc/motd.net and /etc/issue.net and moves them to motd and issue
[10:59] <nabilgod> alright, on my liveusb install i get promted for the language on boot. how can i set it to not promt and just use english?
[10:59] <M0badedr> i added the dns server form my ISP in the resovle.conf
[10:59] <ikonia> M0badedr you mean /etc/resolv.conf ?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> !fluxbox | Elmnas
[10:59] <bazhang> Elmnas, its a desktop environment like gnome or kde but much much lighter, perfect for netbooks
[10:59] <jeremiah1> ikonia: Thanks, I will check it out.
[11:00] <Smorg> i'll try it out.
[11:00] <Elmnas> ok ok
[11:00] <ikonia> Smorg thats as close as you can get
[11:00] <M0badedr> tell me how should i add my DNS server in the resolv.conf
[11:00] <Elmnas> but I used ubuntu eee
[11:00] <Elmnas> which version will I use?
[11:00] <Elmnas> I didnt liked eee

[11:01] <ActionParsnip> sinan: sudo modinfo iwlwifi
[11:01] <ikonia> M0badedr what is in your /etc/resolv.conf file now ?
[11:01] <Elmnas> will I download the live cd?
[11:02] <Elmnas> and burn?
[11:02] <bazhang> Elmnas, you add lxde to ubuntu after it is installed
[11:02] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install lxde
[11:02] <Elmnas> ok will
[11:02] <M0badedr> #Generated by NetworkManager
[11:02] <jeremiah1> ikonia: I think you're right, it seems like bootmisc.sh is the culprit.
[11:02] <bazhang> its a metapackage
[11:02] <Finnish> Can somehelp help me with my atheros-wireless, it has been working so far 100% good, but now it is dead
[11:02] <ikonia> jeremiah1 good catch
[11:02] <M0badedr> <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:03] <Elmnas> bazhang which  dist will I use from ubuntu?
[11:03] <Smorg> hm, the cd doesn't have nbd-client.
[11:03] <bazhang> Elmnas, that is up to you; do you need long term support or not
[11:03] <ikonia> Smorg frustrating

[11:28] <IndyGunFreak> doesn't have a 32bit one either.
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: you want drivers for intel hardware, is it the mouse, the gfx card, the chipset
[11:28] <ikonia> mib: just partition/format it like a normal disk

[11:48] <patrik> Hi, I just put 4GB RAM in my system and the BIOS reports it just as it should, but Ubuntu only sees around 3GB. I'm running Intrepid 32 bit. Any ideas?
[11:48] <Rev667> i really really messed up my ubuntu, and want to start again, but it's a dual boot system with XP, can i use partition manager to delete the partitions and just reinstall?
[11:48] <Frogzoo> patrik: that's 100% typical, & all you'll ever see
[11:48] <x3n0> in 32 bit that is
[11:48] <Louis> i'm trying to set up a dedicated bittorrent server.  I tried torrentflux but it's way too complex.  Is there a suitable alternative that can be run in daemon mode with a webui?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: its the refresh rate of your monitor
[11:49] <Rev667> i tried booting from the CD, but the partition wizard thing scared me
[11:49] <mib> anyone on how to fix the external hard drive access from ubuntu?
[11:49] <patrik> Frogzoo, Is that because I'm running the 32bit version?
[11:49] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; wats a refresh rate of monitor is??
[11:49] <Frogzoo> patrik: yes
[11:49] <Louis> Rev667, how so?

[11:51] <amias> alsa and oss work fine
[11:51] <brenlae> hi all
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> amias: use alsa ten
[11:51] <patrik> Frogzoo, I was assuming the kernel supported PAE? So you're pretty sure about this?
[11:51] <Rev667> so i was thinking, wipe the linux partitions using partitionmagic, then boot from the cd, therefore it should see the free space to use for install, and the existing XP install? am i correct?
[11:51] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; how do u know dat this is the right one..u can't got for permutations and combinations and check each one.....
[11:51] <Abracadabra> ActionParsnip, fdisk -l, doesn't show anything at all
[11:51] <amias> ActionParsnip, is there a deb for that or do i need to rebuild ?
[11:51] <Frogzoo> patrik: 100% sure
[11:51] <blackgraz> Abracadabra: are you root
[11:51] <brenlae> just wondering, is it possible to install the drivers for a rt2870 chipset without having the internet?
[11:51] <brenlae> because i have no internet to download build-essential, for example
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: then start low (say 50 as highest then crank up til you are happy)
[11:52] <brenlae> my network adapter only works on linux
[11:52] <brenlae> err
[11:52] <brenlae> windows
[11:52] <patrik> Frogzoo, Cool, I'll do a 64bit install then
[11:52] <bazhang> brenlae, ubuntu or xandros
[11:52] <Abracadabra> blackgraz, no I sudo when needed
[11:52] <brenlae> my network adapter only works on windows
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: then you have no partitions in your system then, fdisk -l needs sudo
[11:52] <blackgraz> Abracadabra: tryed sudo fdisk -l
[11:52] <blackgraz> ??????????????/
[11:52] <Bups> hi all

[11:53] <brenlae> no i don't :(
[11:53] <bazhang> brenlae, you cant connect via ethernet to get it?
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> amias: just switch in sound prefs
[11:53] <Abracadabra> blackgraz, ok, only the main partition appears
[11:53] <Abracadabra> not my USB
[11:53] <brenlae> bazhang, no ethernet, just wifi
[11:54] <amias> ActionParsnip, but its only one device at once so i have to stop my browser to play tunes and vice versa
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: then you got to try something else, try another usb port, try on the back as well as front
[11:54]  * Rev667 digs out the ultimate boot cd, just in case
[11:54] <DarkKnight> hey my system is not shutting down completely

[11:57] <ActionParsnip> amias: how do you mean?
[11:58] <x3n0> I've had a few problems with my laptop recently, well since I moved to Intrepid...
[11:59] <amias> ActionParsnip, sorry am just really pissed at the poor quality of intrepid compared to hardy , not your fault
[11:59] <woody86> how can I figure out my nameserver, netmask, and gateway?
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> amias: just remember its FOSS and has no warranty. If it breaks, you get both pieces
[11:59] <x3n0> the main cause (I think) is that the laptop shutdown after olny partially installing the updates...
[11:59] <Boohbah> woody86: cat /etc/resolv.conf; ifconfig; route
[12:00] <amias> ActionParsnip, i have been using ubuntu for 4 years and linux for 12 , i know , but this is a low point
[12:00] <woody86> Better yet, can someone help me make my IP static?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> amias: go back to hardy is one solution
[12:00] <x3n0> I've managed to rescue the system to a usable state...
[12:00] <woody86> thanks Boohbah :)
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> woody86: define it in your network config app of choice
[12:01] <amias> ActionParsnip, might have to , this is a bit like vista and xp ;-(
[12:01] <paulus> hi guys, I have a problem with DRBD. can anyone help me?
[12:01] <jin> omg, flash 10 64bit is out. :-) good news
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> amias: remember when xp came out and everyone shunned it ?
[12:01] <Boohbah> amias: what's the problem, sound mixing?
[12:01] <Chrisie> woody86: right click the network manager applet and then click 'Connection Information"
[12:01] <a> woody86, some connections cannot have a static IP or be left on all the time especially 3G
[12:02] <woody86> ActionParsnip, how would I do that?
[12:02] <amias> Boohbah, apps only produce clickign noises through pulse and direct via alsa means i have to stop and start apps to share soundcard
[12:03] <amias> Boohbah, the 90's rang and they want their linux distro back
[12:03] <x3n0> but while looking at xorg.conf I've noticed that the original has been overwritten by a almost blank generic config
[12:03] <Louis> is it possible to configure rtorrent to update trackers via a socks proxy?
[12:03] <amias> but sorry , me moaning isn't going to help
[12:04] <a> woody86, you have a little picture icon of two computers that is the network info
[12:04] <amias> i also have a bug whereby sudo stops working randomly so i have to restart to be able to switch privs

[12:19] <ikonia> Rada: so why come in here ranting about it
[12:20] <amias> Louis, ~/.transmission , but use the GUI
[12:20] <Louis> amias:  thanks, but i'm running it in daemon mode
[12:20] <woody86> can you set up a static IP on a wireless network?
[12:20] <blobX> wanna add some fancy icons but no mater what I do I can't change icons...any ideas guys ?
[12:21] <soundray> woody86: yes
[12:21] <Rada> ikonia: Because 8.10 breaks compatibility (ie: the system can start X)
[12:21] <Louis> what is the command to list the contents of a directory?
[12:21] <jobe> amias: yes, I've installed the packages, and it is detected and works, but only minimally. As it says in the wacom wiki, if you want anything more than the most basic functionality you have to edit xorg.conf in the old fashioned way. but unfortunatly none of the sections are there to edit any more, so you have to add them yourself, but if I do that then everything goes kaput :( is there a guide to adding missing sections in xorg.conf when its empty as in ibex?
[12:21] <DIFH-iceroot> woody86: of course
[12:21] <Rada> ikonia: 8.04 has a driver that works
[12:21] <soundray> Louis: ls
[12:21] <DIFH-iceroot> Louis: ls (-all)
[12:21] <Louis> thanks!
[12:21] <Dillizar> !mercury
[12:21] <ikonia> Rada: no it doesn't the drives + card support are the issue
[12:21] <blobX> Louis, ls ??
[12:21] <soundray> !cli > Louis
[12:21] <amias> Louis, you could find out by tracing it , try strace -e open /path/to/daemon , this will show you all the files it opens , one will be the config file
[12:21] <blobX> Louis, man ls
[12:22] <Louis> lol, soundray, i've been on the cli the whole time...
[12:22] <Dillizar> does any body uses Mercury?
[12:22] <Louis> aah nvm! there's a link to the guide!
[12:22] <Louis> thank you!
[12:22] <amias> jobe, bummer , somebody must have done this on the forums somewhere
[12:22] <soundray> Louis: the document linked there is likely to answer your next question
[12:22] <Louis> soundray:  yeah just saw that, sorry!
[12:23] <brenlae> i have an idea
[12:23] <amias> brenlae, that would be first for this channel
[12:23] <shiki9> hello
[12:23] <woody86> soundray, can I make it where I can connect to other networks as well and just have my home network be static?
[12:23] <jobe> amias: yes, I've been looking, but most posts I've found just say 'if the sections arent already there then add them' but if I do this then I get problems, and I dont know why
[12:24] <brenlae> how would i say, download build-essential (the entire package) and then copy it over to a linux partition (basically so i can compile the rt2870 drivers)
[12:24] <brenlae> is that possible?
[12:24] <Louis> i can't find the config file anywhere in .transmission
[12:24]  * brenlae is on windows atm :(
[12:24] <amias> jobe, well your config must be wrong , have you looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log or similar ?
[12:25] <soundray> woody86: yes -- use "Edit Connections" (right click on the network manager applet)
[12:25] <woody86> ok
[12:25] <jobe> amias: hmm, no, will it have entries for previous boots? because I wont be able to read it until I replace xorg.conf with the backup version and reboot
[12:25] <amias> soundray, if i sang a song about snowmen would that freak you out ?
[12:26] <Myrtti> brenlae: boot to linux, go to synaptic, let it build you a script for downloading the packages missing, save that script somewhere you can access in Windows, and use that as a guide to download the packages
[12:26] <soundray> amias: pardon?
[12:26] <Myrtti> brenlae: the script itself wont probably run, but you can still use it as a list of packages
[12:26] <amias> jobe, it will always be the last boot , have a look for other Xorg.*.log files
[12:26] <mfoniso> I get the following error when booting: root-nfs:no nfs server available. this isn't supposed to be booting from a NFS.  how do I find out where that is specified?
[12:27] <amias> soundray, ah ok , you are not the person i thought you where , sorry for the confusion
[12:27] <brenlae> Myrtti, sweet idea
[12:27] <Dillizar> does any body uses Mercury?
[12:27] <woody86> how do i find my gateway?
[12:27] <DIFH-iceroot> Dillizar: why is it interessing if anybody use it? just aks your question
[12:27] <brenlae> Myrtti, i did go to packages.ubuntu.com but when i went to download it the file was only like 4 kb on average
[12:27] <ikonia> woody86: netstat -rn
[12:27] <brenlae> Myrtti, where do i get the full package?
[12:27] <amias> mfoniso, when booting via grub , edit the boot params (e) and remove slient or quiet to see more messages about your error
[12:28] <woody86> ikonia, thanks :)
[12:28] <brenlae> (that was for build-essential
[12:28] <Myrtti> brenlae: build-essential is a virtual package that doesn't actually contain any software, it pulls the needed dependencies only
[12:28] <jobe> amias: so I have to read the log file in cli? because -> change xorg.conf -> reboot -> hangs -> reboot in failsafe -> replace xorg.conf with backup -> reboot -> logfiles no longer refer to the hanging boot :(
[12:28] <Dillizar> I cant set my camera on Mercury!
[12:28] <brenlae> oh
[12:28] <gerhard> hey i jst deleted an important file with chift-delete, how can i get it back?
[12:28] <mfoniso> amias:will do that
[12:28] <ikonia> gerhard is it in the trash bind ?
[12:28] <ikonia> bin
[12:28] <Dillizar> !jmf
[12:28] <gerhard> no
[12:28] <ikonia> gerhard: then it's gone
[12:29] <gerhard> oh really
[12:29] <gerhard> damn it
[12:29] <amias> jobe, when you say hangs do you mean the computer locks solid or X doesn't start and it asks if you want to read the logs ?
[12:29] <shiki9> do you guys think this machine has good specs for a development (postgresql,mysql,tomcat,apache http, dev in python,C++ and java )  machine ?
[12:29] <ColOfNature> any ideas how to print from a vmware ubuntu?
[12:29] <mfoniso> amias:I don't silent or quiet are specified though... the errors seem pretty verbose
[12:29] <ikonia> ColOfNature you need to setup some sort of hardware pbridging, the guys in #vmware can help
[12:29] <ColOfNature> ikonia: cheers
[12:29] <amias> gerhard, you could switch the machine of right now and restore it with another , it will take most of a day
[12:30] <shiki9> do you guys think this machine has good specs for a development (postgresql,mysql,tomcat,apache http, dev in python,C++ and java )  machine : http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=81   ?
[12:30] <gerhard> i see
[12:30] <jobe> amias: well I think the comp hasnt frozen, but monitor says out of range or frequency or something, so there is no video output at all, so my only option is to reboot (I tried gettin cli from that situation 'blind' by ctrl + alt + F2 type thing, but nothing responds to my keyboard input)
[12:30] <amias> mfoniso, what does the root= option say ?
[12:31] <jobe> amias: most likely that its just video output that is stopped, not actual processes - i think alt + sysrq +b works, so kernel is still running
[12:31] <gerhard> but how about the program "magicrescue"
[12:31] <amias> jobe, hold ctrl+alt+F2 for a bit longer ,
[12:31] <gerhard> i just saw it when searching for ubuntu file recovery tools
[12:31] <ikonia> gerhard try it
[12:31] <gerhard> ok im installing it
[12:31] <gerhard> but you dont have much hope for that try?
[12:31] <amias> gerhard, no
[12:31] <ikonia> gerhard not really,
[12:32] <mfoniso> amias: "root=/dev/sda1 vga=normal showopts"
[12:32] <gerhard> hm i see
[12:32] <jobe> amias: ok. what would I use to view the files from cli? echo? nano? or should I boot up livecd and access the logs that way so no other reboot takes place?
[12:32] <woody86> when i restarted my networking it says "ignoring unknown device eth1=eth1" but eth1 is the device I set to be static, is this ok?
[12:32] <Dillizar> does anybody knows how i can set my camera on Mercury
[12:32] <brenlae> ok
[12:33] <amias> mfoniso, does that error actually stop the machien booting ? nfs says all kinds of things that you can ignore , do you actually use nfs ?
[12:33] <brenlae> name a server ubuntu connects to so i can hunt for packages that way
[12:33] <brenlae> er nvm
[12:33] <chimp_> Is there a way to make the terminal automatically look different when Im in an ssh session, its far too easy to accidently do something on the remote?
[12:33] <mfoniso> nope, not using nfs, but the error does stop the machine booting...
[12:33] <mankash> http://pastebin.com/m28b71f6a
[12:34] <amias> jobe, a livece might help but first i would try removing any graphics setup options from you xorg.cofn
[12:34] <mankash> what is th use of this command apt-cache
[12:34] <usamahashimi> hi
[12:34] <ikonia> mankash interact witht he apt-cache archive
[12:34] <usamahashimi> I have downloaded ubuntu iso, how can i check its md5sum?
[12:34] <mankash> you mean it kepps the cache of package sources
[12:34] <Pici> !verify | usamahashimi
[12:35] <jaakkome> Hey all... a friend would like to switch from windows xp to ubuntu, but is concerned because she needs to use MS access.
[12:35] <ackbahr> Hi! Automount suddenly stopped working! (8.10)
[12:35] <amias> jaakkome, there is something like in openoffice.org , its not the same , look at their site for more info
[12:36] <jaakkome> Can you run Access under wine or such, and/or how compatible Kexi or something would be with it?
[12:36] <amias> jaakkome, she could always have windows in a virtual machine for using access
[12:36] <ElDelfin> i can't seem to do a dcc send no matter what i try.   i'm behind a router, but even though i've mapped the ports, and created a policy in firestarter, ubuntu still stops dcc sends.
[12:36] <jobe> amias: like remove "Screen        "Default Screen"" from server layout and its corresponding section further down? because there is a section for nvidia but its not listed in serverlayout - maybe it should be in there? but by default the nvidia entry is there, but there is no serverlayout section at all, so maybe thats causing problems, that ve added a new serverlayout section but not added the nvidia device which is listed....?
[12:36] <zoople> Hey guys, havin some troubles with Ethernet in Intrpid, got a Marvell one, now i did read some problems its had on forums but these were with past releases. basically cant even ping to my router, wireless works fine. used to work fine in other releases, any ideas?
[12:36] <Dillizar> does anybody knows how i can set my camera on Mercury
[12:37] <consanguinity> are there any issues likely to be encountered running the Xen kernel on a desktop?
[12:37] <ikonia> zoople is the card up and configured
[12:37] <zoople> yup static
[12:37] <amias> jobe, remove the nvidia bits

[12:38] <jobe> amias: but wont that mess up my video config? that works nicely at the moment I dont want to cause myself lots more problems
[12:39] <zoople> btw guys, thanks :-)
[12:39] <ikonia> zoople I assume eth1 is your card ?
[12:39] <zoople> actually..good question
[12:39] <consanguinity> okay, next question... what is the Xen kernel called in 8.10?  i thought it was linu-image-xen..
[12:39] <NewFAQs> Mad?
[12:39] <NewFAQs> Madluke
[12:40] <ikonia> zoople can you show me "netstat -rn " too please
[12:40] <amias> jobe, read this , first google result for 'xorg.conf intrepid wacom' , try hotplugging it instead - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/260675
[12:40] <zoople> sure thing  :-)
[12:40] <JuJuBee> Can someone help me connect to an HP OfficeJet 6110 that is connected to a remote computer?
[12:40] <phzx> can you tell me how to start a proccess with a -20 priority?
[12:41] <zoople> http://pastebin.com/m741fa626
[12:41] <Zaq> -20 is pretty heavy >_>
[12:42] <phzx> what value should I use then?
[12:42] <Zaq> I duno, what would you use it for?
[12:42] <Zaq> -4 is sometimes plenty, sometimes too much, sometimes not enough
[12:42] <phzx> game server (half life dedicated server)
[12:43] <mfoniso> amias:please see http://www.pastie.org/316784 for the exact error messages I get during boot
[12:43] <phzx> this is like PC, except I host a server on it
[12:43] <amias> phzx: read man renice
[12:43] <phzx> no, i want when i start it to be -20
[12:44] <Pici> phzx: then read `man nice`
[12:44] <zoople> every release does seem to fix one problem at a time hehe, so lookin forward to the next one
[12:44] <zoople> having tested Ibex out for flash yet, thats always a scary one in ubuntu lol
[12:44] <amias> phzx, you dont want it -20 , other things need to happen in the background , read that man page
[12:45] <phzx> thanks, I will
[12:45] <Zaq> phzx: you're welcome to do just that, but enjoy having your computer crippled not being able to do anything =D
[12:45] <phzx> well I tried -20 the whole last night and nothing bad happened?
[12:46] <amias> mfoniso, dont understand your error , is this actually stopping your machine starting ?
[12:46] <voland> Good day to you all. Could anyone help me to setup my ppa?
[12:47] <zoople> any heads ups on installying flush in Intrepid?
[12:47] <zoople> *flash
[12:47] <ikonia> zoople: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> please
[12:47] <zoople> sure
[12:47] <tiredbones> can someone check this site to see if you get sound.    http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=python+programming#
[12:47] <ikonia> zoople: install the flashplugin-nonfree package
[12:47] <zoople> yup 111 is fine
[12:47] <mfoniso> amias:yes, the machine stops there....
[12:47] <zoople> thats my wireless router
[12:47] <ikonia> zoople: your networknig is fine then
[12:47] <zoople> well wireless AP
[12:47] <ikonia> zoople: you have no problems
[12:47] <mfoniso> amias: and won't respond to ctrl-alt-del either

[12:48] <ikonia> zoople thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[12:48] <Dillizar> does any body knows how can i install JMF
[12:48] <ikonia> zoople: thats your access point not having the right gateway
[12:48] <zoople> ah ok, did work in previous releases
[12:48] <realkrish> krish:
[12:48] <ikonia> zoople: look at your routing, default route is the wirless AP,
[12:48] <zoople> ah ok and how can i go about changing that?
[12:48] <ikonia> zoople: so you should be able to ping anythig ont he 192.16.1.x network
[12:49] <krish> yeah
[12:49] <PUNISHER> People!!
[12:49] <ikonia> zoople: any anything else will go out of your wirless ap

[12:49] <zoople> like if i switch to ethernet it just says network unavailable or something
[12:49] <ikonia> zoople: just make your gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:49] <Pici> realkrish: If you've registered it, /msg nickserv help ghost
[12:49] <ikonia> zoople: just make your gateway <IP_ADDRESS>

[12:50] <zoople> hehe well sometimes i do have to disable wireless coz its not always on coz mum switches it off sometimes
[12:50] <realkrish> mfoniso: I could have ghosted him out, but i didnt want to disturb any important conversation
[12:50] <PUNISHER> your problems just very easy...
[12:50] <zoople> 99% sure its not network setup as has worked thisway with previous releases
[12:50] <ikonia> zoople you don't need to disable wirless to see the defautl route
[12:50] <mfoniso> realkrish: that's nice of you :-)
[12:50] <soundray> JuJuBee: give the filesystem a label
[12:50] <mfoniso> well, looks like you've got it covered then
[12:50] <zoople> ah ok, so how do u change the default route?
[12:50] <mib> any help?
[12:50] <kanhiya78> how to upgrade openoffice
[12:50] <ikonia> mib with what ?
[12:50] <mib> assess external hard drive
[12:51] <tiredbones> can someone check this site to see if you get sound. http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=python+programming#
[12:51] <JuJuBee> soundray : how?
[12:51] <ikonia> mib whats the problem ?
[12:51] <mib> with mounting problem
[12:51] <W8TAH> !kdeworldclock
[12:51] <soundray> JuJuBee: what kind of filesystem is it?
[12:51] <JuJuBee> ext3
[12:51] <krish> thanx
[12:51] <mib> i connect my xhdd via usb in ubuntu
[12:51] <realkrish> mfoniso: sometimes being nice doesnt help too - check http://srikrishnadas.wordpress.com/2008/11/16/nut-heads-on-irc/
[12:51] <kanhiya78> in ubuntu 8.10 how do i upgrade from openoffice 2.4 to 3.0
[12:51] <ikonia> mib: if you go to places -> computer menu do you see the disk in there ?
[12:51] <kanhiya78> anybody knows that
[12:52] <mib> i can see the Volumnes in the hdd but cant access data there
[12:52] <mfoniso> realkrish: lol, checking it out
[12:52] <mib> yeah
[12:52] <mib> i can see the disks..
[12:52] <ajuonline> hi i am on dual boot. and going to format windows xp. i am sure it is gonna screw up my ubuntu install. what steps i shall take to not affec tthis? backup grun and restore it later?
[12:52] <soundray> JuJuBee: sudo tune2fs -L label /dev/sdb1  (please read man tune2fs before you go ahead)
[12:52] <ikonia> kanhiya78 it's not updated in the repo
[12:52] <ikonia> mib: ok, so what's the issue, you can access it from there
[12:52] <mib> but when i click on them, it pops up error
[12:52] <JuJuBee> soundray : thanks, i'll read
[12:52] <ajuonline> realkrish: ?
[12:52] <mib> i suspect its the filesystem
[12:52] <ikonia> mib: what error
[12:52] <soundray> kanhiya78: it's best to wait for a backport
[12:52] <mib> cannot mount
[12:52] <soundray> !backports > kanhiya78
[12:52] <zoople> thanks ikonia for takin a look at that for me, ill play around and see what i can come up with :-)
[12:53] <ikonia> zorrolero: no problem
[12:53] <mib> is it because filesystem incompatibility
[12:53] <amias> mfoniso, i really dont know , the only place you could specify a nfs root filesystem would be in your bootloader , probably grub
[12:53] <ikonia> mib: what file system is on it ?
[12:53] <mfoniso> amias: I've checked there :-(
[12:53] <ValentineXX> when i change some icons in customize appearance they do not work why?
[12:53] <mib> ubuntu is ext3
[12:53] <amias> mfoniso, do you want it to boot from nfs ?
[12:53] <ikonia> mib: what file system is on the external drive
[12:53] <mfoniso> amias:no
[12:54] <amias> mfonsio: can it boot in recovery mode ?
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[12:54] <mib> and i guess xternal hard disk is NTFS
[12:54] <mfoniso> I'd like to find out where it's being told to do that so I can stop it
[12:54] <ikonia> mib can you find out ?
[12:54] <ikonia> mib: rather than guess
[12:54] <mib> okie.hold on.
[12:54] <mib> now finidhg out
[12:54] <realkrish> ajuonline: nah its me krish
[12:54] <amias> amias, it might be in the initramfs , this is a the mini system it uses to start up the machine
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> mib: sudo fdisk -l will tell you
[12:55] <ValentineXX> ActionParsnip: hello when i change some icons in customize appearance they do not work why?
[12:55] <mfoniso> amias, the other options specify kernel images that don't exist
[12:55] <JuJuBee> soundray : would I use sudo tune2fs -L EXTERNAL_HD /dev/sdb2 ?
[12:55] <JuJuBee> sry /dev/sdb1
[12:55] <ajuonline> realkrish: i know. but how come you are here :P
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> ValentineXX: maybe you need to restart x servrer. I dont use icons much so im not much help
[12:55] <heret1c> tiredbones: yes, there's sound.
[12:55] <soundray> JuJuBee: sounds correct to me, if /dev/sdb is the external device
[12:55] <jobe> amias: heh, im still reading that thread you posted and the one it flows into, about 3/4 done :)
[12:56] <JuJuBee> It is...
[12:56] <ValentineXX> ActionParsnip: gtk smooth has not been installed some features may not work <- what is this error message
[12:56] <mfoniso> realkrish: the fact that he threatened to report to a so-called cybercrime division shows he isn't very clued up about how this works. Anyway you handled it well.
[12:56] <ValentineXX> ActionParsnip: how to restart x server
[12:56] <realkrish> ajuonline: what! you presume I dont use ubuntu
[12:56] <mib> HPFS/NTFS
[12:56] <soundray> JuJuBee: run sync ; sync and then replug it to check if it has worked
[12:56] <realkrish> mfoniso: it also shows how little knowledge can be dangerous
[12:56] <amias> mfoniso, grub has tab completion for filenames , you can correct the path to the kernel image in edit mode
[12:56] <alisoviy> hello! Anybody help me with Sata2Pata rollback? :)
[12:56] <JuJuBee> I never did this before, how come I need to now after a re-install of hte OS?  It used to just automount...  I checked the "AutoMount" box in properties for HD...
