[10:27] <nafis_devlpr> does anyone knows how to play wmv files in ubuntu?? i.e which codecs do i need??
[10:27] <rausb0> linxeh: with option -r it will
[10:27] <deCon> how do i remove samba server?
[10:27] <linxeh> rausb0: that is why I said "rm by itself"
[10:27] <rausb0> linxeh: okay :)
[10:27] <linxeh> :)
[10:28] <rausb0> deCon: sudo apt-get remove samba
[10:28] <n0n4m3> linxeh er.. didn't read that directory part... in that case.. like you said... -rf is needed :D
[10:28] <li> ok i have del it ,thanks
[10:28] <ubuntubeginz> to simplify it... i mean i dont want the insertion point on the same line... as directory name...
[10:28] <misled> Set default browser and email client as Opera in preferred applications.  yet when I click a mailto hyperlink it doesn't open my mail client. What can I do to fix this.. Its been three days now and I cant get this working.  Using Xubuntu 6.10
[10:28] <ikonia> nafis_devlpr: you need the win32 codecs
[10:28] <roopert> hi, someone of you has installed netsukuku_?
[10:29] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: i still don't know what you mean
[10:29] <ubuntubeginz> Hi is this possible to do...or not..thanks
[10:29] <nafis_devlpr> ikonia: whats the package name??
[10:29] <ikonia> nafis_devlpr: what version of ubutu are you using ?
[10:29] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: you mean you want the cursor below the shell prompt, in the next line?
[10:29] <nafis_devlpr> ikonia: 7.04
[10:30] <ubuntubeginz> rausb0: yeah... dats it
[10:30] <ikonia> nafis_devlpr: if you visit https://help.ubuntu.com and look at the playing movies help it lists the codecs and how to install them
[10:30] <li> what is the differences between rm and rmdir when del the folder ?
[10:30] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: should be possible by setting the PS1 shell variable properly
[10:30] <ubuntubeginz> nafis_devlpr: Or u cud just install VlcPlayer.. :)
[10:30] <horde_> Hi, I'm running SABnzb and connect to its interface with a web browser at localhost:8080 (usually).  Sometimes, like now, going to that address times out...I've tried switching ports.  Don't know if the trouble is connecting or if it's the program's fault.  Any ideas?
[10:31] <ikonia> li rm doesn't delete a directory, rmdir is just an alias to rm -r
[10:31] <drift_> does any one here know how to get an palm to work in linux???????????????//
[10:31] <ikonia> ubuntubeginz: you'd still need the codecs
[10:31] <ubuntubeginz> rausb0: where can find the PS1 vairble
[10:31] <mo0osah> I uninstalled some themes from superkaramba and now when I go back to install them... i says they're already installed
[10:31] <ikonia> ubuntubeginz: its in your shell echo $PS1
[10:31] <roopert> hi i have 1 problem
[10:32] <roopert> my problem is
[10:32] <roopert> In file included from accept.c:29:
[10:32] <roopert> includes.h:31:24: error: asm/bitops.h: No such file or directory
[10:32] <roopert> make[3] : *** [accept.o]  Error 1
[10:32] <roopert> make[3] : Leaving directory `/home/roop/netsukuku/src'
[10:32] <roopert> make[2] : *** [all-recursive]  Error 1
[10:32] <roopert> make[2] : Leaving directory `/home/roop/netsukuku/src'
[10:32] <roopert> make[1] : *** [all]  Error 2
[10:32] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: it is set in /etc/profile system-wide, but you can also set it for your user in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc
[10:32] <roopert> make[1] : Leaving directory `/home/roop/netsukuku/src'
[10:32] <ikonia> roopert: stop
[10:32] <roopert> make: *** [all-recursive]  Error 1
[10:32] <li> what is the meaning of directory ,if i use rm ,did the folder is remain on my desktop ?
[10:32] <roopert> sorry
[10:32] <li> yes ,i used rmdir when del it
[10:32] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: look at "man bash" to see which can be put into PS1, a simple example would be: export PS1="[\u:\w] \n"
[10:33] <ikonia> roopert: if your building software you need to know what your doing, the problem you have is it wants headers that don't exist
[10:33] <ubuntubeginz> ikonia,rausb0: lemme try and come back...
[10:33] <roopert> ikonia thanks
[10:33] <nafis_devlpr> there is no vlcplayer
[10:33] <nafis_devlpr> for ubuntu
[10:34] <ikonia> nafis_devlpr: you'd still need the codecs any way
[10:34] <ubuntubeginz> nafis_devlpr: i dont remember downloading any codecs... and it still wekrs.. :D
[10:34] <misled> OMG.. I just saw my other id leave the room.. but it hasnt been there for 15 mins
[10:34] <ikonia> ubuntubeginz: with respect though, your not really sure what your actually doing
[10:34] <ibob63> My screen has suddenly decided to have 800*600 resolution and I can't seem to work out how to change it to 1200*1024. How do I do this?
[10:35] <ubuntubeginz> nafis_devlpr: here is the link.. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html ... better get back to PS1 thingie now...
[10:37] <Serv4u|freakY> 1
[10:37] <nafis_devlpr> whats PS1???
[10:37] <ikonia> nafis_devlpr: an environment variable
[10:38] <ubuntubeginz> nafis_devlpr: its not related to u ...man... sumitn i am doing now... miscommunication
[10:38] <nafis_devlpr> okay
[10:38] <danny3793> would someone like to help me with this command: "g++ -I/usr/include/CEGUI -I/home/daniel/Desktop/CEGUI-0.5.0/Samples/common/include -c "Sample_FirstWindow.cpp" -o "Sample_FirstWindow.o" "
[10:39] <ikonia> danny3793: thats a g++ build command normally invocked by a makefile - what is the problem with it
[10:39] <drift_> is any one going to answer my Q?????
[10:39] <danny3793> i need to compile as an executable but i dont know what i should fix in there to make it an executable
[10:39] <ikonia> danny3793: is it erroring ?
[10:40] <drift_> thats nice
[10:40] <danny3793> ikonia: hello again :P, well it started with Anjuta, i am trying to compile a sample of a GUI API, no im not getting errors, its just compiling into a .o file and not making an actual executable
[10:40] <kblin> hi folks.. I'm running dhclient against a win2k3 dhcp server and I don't seem to be getting the domain name.. where does dhclient log to?
[10:40] <ikonia> danny3793: thats because its an object file
[10:40] <ikonia> kblin: is the server offering the domain name ?
[10:40] <misieq> hi, i'm having a problem with ivtv driver. i have cx23416 chip and already properly compiled the driver, but i have no /dev/video device
[10:41] <kblin> ikonia, that's what I'm trying to figure out
[10:41] <danny3793> ikonia: i figured, but its not supposed to be an object file, its supposed to be an executable :P, so what should i replace in my command i pasted above to get it to compile as an executable :P
[10:41] <joycetick> im trying to run the vmware-server install file (perl) and it keeps saying this "sudo: vmware-install.pl: command not found"
[10:41] <ikonia> kblin: you need to speak to the windows server administrator then
[10:41] <li> why i can't see the chat words the end of the sentences
[10:42] <ikonia> danny3793: something doesn't build as an object if its meant to be an executable. To make sure run "file" against the object and see what it reports. After that you'll need to get support from the maintainers of software source your trying to build against
[10:42] <rausb0> joycetick: sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[10:42] <danny3793> ikonia: do you mean i should attempt to run the .o?
[10:42] <rausb0> joycetick: the current directory "." is normally not in the PATH variable
[10:42] <ikonia> danny3793: no, you should run "file" against the object to make sure it has actually built as an object
[10:42] <kblin> ikonia, that'd be me. :) not that I have a clue about windows stuff
[10:43] <danny3793> kk, lemme go do that
[10:43] <kblin> ikonia, nm, I'll just have a look at what the server sends on the wire then
[10:43] <ikonia> kblin: take your windows config to ##windows see what they can / can't confirm
[10:43] <joycetick> rausb0: ah ok, thanks
[10:44] <li> why i can't see the words the end of sentences when chat with xchat ?
[10:45] <danny3793> ikonia: ok, i just ran file Sample_FirstWindow.o, and it says this: "Sample_FirstWindow.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped"
[10:45] <ikonia> ok, so it is an object
[10:46] <danny3793> ikonia: well in the command that anjuta is running above it is making it into an object with -o, what should i replace -o with to make it into an executable to see if it is just compiling wrong
[10:46] <v3n0m`> linxeh: where's my kvirc =p
[10:46] <Wooombat> Hello! I need help - can`t install Feisty on my laptop - Roverbook Navigator B530. Live CD work just fine, but after the setup it doesnt boot. I just see BusyBox and thets all. I googled it and found that it could be silly SiS 650 chipset that causes the problem. Can anybody help me? Thanks.
[10:46] <ikonia> danny3793: things like that are dangerous to change, I suspect if you really believe this is not meant to be an object file (I think it probably is) you should take it to the source code maintainers and ask for advice/change there as this isn't an ubuntu issue
[10:47] <v3n0m`> Wooombat: what's BusyBox?
[10:48] <Wooombat> v3n0m` - i suppose some debian`s command line
[10:48] <ikonia> no
[10:48] <ikonia> its a mini linux environment
[10:48] <nuu> v3n0m`: busybox is an all-in-one binary that emulates several commands, typically used on embedded systems where you have space constraints
[10:48] <Wooombat> i dont know )
[10:48] <v3n0m`> =o
[10:48] <nuu> you can customize it to emulate whatever you want it to
[10:48] <v3n0m`> nice
[10:48] <nuu> of course, the more you emulate, the larger it gets. Therefore you have to be careful when planning its implementation on an embedded system
[10:49] <danny3793> ikonia: ok, well im sure changing it to compile as an exe wont crash my comp and set it a fire so i will just go google on what to use to compile the damn thing, because all i need to know is what to replace -o with, and it seems you dont know, thanks for your help though...
[10:49] <Wooombat> So what can i do? it seems that ubuntu doesnt see HDD
[10:49] <v3n0m`> of course =p
[10:49] <nuu> you typically get busybox'd when all else fails at boot
[10:50] <nuu> Wooombat: when you boot into livecd, you can mount/see your disk partitions ?
[10:50] <ikonia> danny3793: thanks for the sly dig, but as I said its quite dangerous to the source codes integrity as something that links against or requires that object will not find it. I'm sad to say, despite your weak attempt to bait me, I'm quite confident I could change that to build an executable, it probably wouldn't work, but yes I do know
[10:50] <Wooombat> Im very new to Linux but i like Ubuntu very much, using it at home... It is such a pity i cant get it working on my laptop
[10:50] <li> Wooombat:what is the detail when install feisty,what is the prompt ?
[10:50] <rausb0> Wooombat: maybe the feisty kernel has problems with the SiS ide controller and the new libata based ide driver
[10:50] <Wooombat> nuu - sure
[10:51] <nuu> Wooombat: are you 100% sure the install went fine ? because if you can boot the livecd on your lappie, and you can mount your disks on your lappie, then nothing leads to believe it shouldnt work when booting natively
[10:51] <rausb0> nuu: btw, is there a way to force the feisty kernel to use the old ide drivers? (without recompiling the kernel)
[10:51] <nuu> Wooombat: the only issue i can think of, is if you're trying to do this from an usb disk, but i assume this is not the case
[10:51] <ikonia> Wooombat: at what point does it fail to boot
[10:51] <Wooombat> nuu - im sure!
[10:52] <nuu> rausb0: depends on whether the ide drivers are compiled as modules or not.....they typically aren't, so as far as i can tell you, nope
[10:52] <nuu> but someone else might know better
[10:52] <nuu> keep asking around ;)
[10:52] <Wooombat> it gets to the progress bar splash. thinks for about 10 mins and thet i get an error about tty
[10:52] <rausb0> nuu: thanks anyway :)
[10:52] <nuu> Wooombat: what precise messages you get when booting ? can you dump these into pastebin?
[10:52] <Wooombat> and then BusyBox loads
[10:53] <danny3793> ikonia: you dont seem to grasp what i have asked of you...I pasted what Anjuta is running, and yes, that file is a .o file BECAUSE anjuta TOLD it to be a .o file. This application is supposed to be a "Sample Window" to display a sample GUI, i know for a fact that it is not supposed to be an object file, so compiling these 2 files will not cause any problems if i try to compile them as executable's and not objects..evidently you didnt f
[10:53] <danny3793> ully read what i was telling you or you would have known this...
[10:53] <nuu> Wooombat: step 1: try seeing if you can get any relevant output (maybe paste it into pastebin for us) from "dmesg" when you get at the busybox prompt
[10:53] <Wooombat> nuu - sure i can, but my laptop is at home at the moment (
[10:53] <sp1d3r> hi thter
[10:53] <sp1d3r> hi there
[10:53] <ianubuntu> my desktop is not quite inline with my monitor (i have a black space, and a bit that falls off on the other side) is there a way to change this within ubuntu as opposed to changing my monitor - because all my other OS's sit fine on the screen
[10:53] <nuu> Wooombat: step 2: hit ctrl+alt+f1/f2/f3 etc until you see a bunch of text being output to the screen, when you see the splash bar
[10:54] <rausb0> gtg
[10:54] <li> why some words hided when use the xchat ?
[10:54] <Wooombat> nuu - what commands should i enter? im kinda newbie )
[10:54] <danny3793> ikonia: compiling 2 files which have nothing to do with any other files that are a part of this GUI will not cause any damage, im sorry to inform you of that...
[10:54] <nuu> that'll switch you to text terminals, where boot output is being displayed. that might give you a hint as to what is really failing during your bootstrap
[10:54] <ikonia> danny3793: I did read it, and I understand what your saying, but whats not clear is why anjuta wants it to be an object file, and why you think a sampler window has to be an executable rather than an object used by another executable to present the window
[10:55] <ikonia> danny3793: its clear you already know everything and believe I'm wrong about everything so I suggest you take this to the source code maintainers or as you where going to do google as this is not an ubuntu issue
[10:55] <nuu> Wooombat: for step 1, i suggest you do "dmesg > dmesg.txt" without the quotes
[10:55] <danny3793> ikonia: because this is supposed to make an actual window, it is not supposed to be an object file used with another program, these 2 files make a blank window, its showing what the GUI does
[10:55] <nuu> Wooombat: that'll output dmesg (kernel debug messages) to a file named dmesg.txt, which you can then upload to pastebin, and give us the pastebin link to check out what happens
[10:55] <Wooombat> nuu - ok
[10:55] <nuu> as for what concerns pastebin,
[10:55] <nuu> !pastebin | Wooombat
[10:55] <ubotu> Wooombat: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:55] <ikonia> danny3793: I don't know enough about the package to comment, I suggest you speak to the maintainers
[10:55] <danny3793> ikonia: instead of trying to a smart as* and fling me off onto other things, this does seem to be an issue, but maybe with Anjuta, and its were, not where.
[10:56] <danny3793> ikonia: i can see you dont know much, thanks for the effort though
[10:56] <Wooombat> ubotu - isee
[10:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about isee - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:56] <ikonia> danny3793: I'm not trying to be smart, I'm trying to offer advice and help, and you keep making sly digs that I don't know anything, I'm not the one sat in an os support channel asking how to change a simple object file to build as an executable
[10:56] <ianubuntu> my desktop is not quite inline with my monitor (i have a black space, and a bit that falls off on the other side) is there a way to change this within ubuntu as opposed to changing my monitor - because all my other OS's sit fine on the screen
[10:56] <ikonia> danny3793: I suggest you take it to the package maintainers
[10:57] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: it's to do with monitor timings
[10:57] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: check you're running at the same frame rate and resolution
[10:57] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp: how do i check my framerate in ubuntu?
[10:57] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: if you adjust your monitor it should be stored in a different memory anyway
[10:58] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: System->Prefs->Resolution
[10:58] <danny3793> ikonia: i believe it should be brought to the people who built the compiler i am using (Anjuta) not the people who made the GUI API..., And sly digs eh? these "sly digs" were thrown at you because you are evidently not grasping what i asked, no problems though, google understand better than any retard, so its all good :)
[10:58] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: but also check what your monitor says it is running at!
[10:58] <ianubuntu> ahha fixed
[10:58] <ikonia> !ops

[10:58] <ianubuntu> thanks you! 54htz instead of 50 does it :D
[10:58] <Myrtti> wha
[10:58] <elkbuntu> ikonia?
[10:58] <sp1d3r> who

[10:58] <ikonia> elkbuntu: see #ops
[10:59] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp: thanks :)
[10:59] <Draco_> hello everyone, can someone recommend a good package to use with a tape streamer backup system ?
[10:59] <ikonia> danny3793: its not
[10:59] <danny3793> Yes, it is.
[10:59] <nuu> heh. this is slowly turning into a flame war, i can see
[10:59] <ikonia> it calls g++
[10:59] <ikonia> that is your compiler
[10:59] <danny3793> it is an IDE
[10:59] <ikonia> yes, an ide
[10:59] <gordonjcp> danny3793: have you ever compiled anything before?
[10:59] <danny3793> are we attempting to get technical?
[10:59] <n0n4m3> Draco i'd prolly use a manually written script
[10:59] <danny3793> gordonjcp: yes i have, on windows, not on linux
[10:59] <gordonjcp> danny3793: well, if you're trying to write GUI code, you're going to have to get technical at some point
[11:00] <gordonjcp> danny3793: well in that case, you should know why you get .o files first?
[11:00] <ianubuntu> is there a way to make a shortcut on my desktop to bring up nautilus with the "Computer" view where it shows all the different devices
[11:00] <ikonia> danny3793: then perhaps listen to people who have
[11:00] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: like the one in the menu?
[11:00] <k1gwb> I wanna know why when I try to install this .deb file it says it conflicts with a package....then i try to remove that package and it won't
[11:00] <Draco> n0n4m3: then im in the poo no idea how to script
[11:00] <danny3793> gordonjcp: attempting to jump into the conversation and nit pick on me when you dont know what was being discussed is dumb, im not coding the GUI, its a GUI API, so please, scroll up if you were even here, it helps alot
[11:00] <li> xchatevolutionevol
[11:00] <gordonjcp> danny3793: I'm always here

[11:01] <ubotu> li:  #ubuntu-jp  #kubuntu-jp
[11:01] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp: yep
[11:01] <ikonia> guys, I suggest we drop this as its nothing to do with #ubuntu
[11:01] <gordonjcp> danny3793: and I have read the scrollback
[11:01] <gnomefreak> danny3793: anjuta is not a compilier it uses gcc or whatever compilier it needs if you choose to use the compile tool. anjuta is just a normal IDE.
[11:01] <danny3793> gordonjcp: well then not paying attention is really bad....ADD is a big problem?
[11:01] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: drag the menu item to the desktop ;-)
[11:01] <n0n4m3> Draco try advanced bash scripting guide.. and maybe.. man tar, man mtape, ...
[11:01] <danny3793> gnomefreak: that was stated above :)
[11:01] <trpr> must not be any support requests going on for this conversation to be tolerated
[11:01] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp - dong - there was me rightclicking trying to create shortcut :P
[11:01] <gnomefreak> danny3793: please stay on topic.
[11:01] <n0n4m3> Draco imagine what google found: http://www.bluestream.org/Networking/TapeBackups.htm
[11:02] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: simple, isn't it?
[11:02] <Myrtti> allrighty kids, go someplace else to chatter
[11:02] <gordonjcp> danny3793: oh, I'm so sorry
[11:02] <Myrtti> this is for support issues, this channel.
[11:02] <danny3793> gnomefreak: i was on topic, i told you it was already stated above, will you please stop taking blind shots in the dark?
[11:02] <Draco> n0n4m3: cool thanks i'll check it out
[11:02] <gordonjcp> danny3793: you're obviously so good at this, I should just drop it entirely
[11:02] <gordonjcp> danny3793: after all, you're the expert, eh?
[11:02] <ikonia> gordonjcp: just walk away, I have
[11:02] <gnomefreak> 05:01 <       danny3793 > gordonjcp: well then not paying attention is really  bad....ADD is a big problem?  <<< not on topic
[11:02] <n0n4m3> Draco as i can see it's a simple 40 or 50 line script, well commented...
[11:03] <danny3793> gordonjcp: im not an expert, but being ignorant is a real big problem
[11:03] <Myrtti> run along...
[11:03] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp - yep, it's just a case of working out all the little things - once i have mastered that i will stick with ubuntu. it's just annoying a bit of my hardware isn't supported (scanner, webcam) but it works well with most stuff out the box
[11:03] <ikonia> no-one is being ignorant except you, can we please stop discussing this
[11:03] <danny3793> gnomefreak: telling me im off topic, is not on topic, so i guess your off topic too?
[11:03] <Myrtti> #ubuntu-offtopic is thataways
[11:03] <gnomefreak> danny3793: stop with the name calling and insulting people
[11:03] <k1gwb> this looks like an aol chat room not a support channel ;)
[11:04] <k1gwb> would it have been offtopic to tell him that "you're" is not a difficult monosyllabic word to spell? :-X
[11:05] <ianubuntu> is there a way to install ariel fonts onto ubuntu (i do hold a windows Xp licence)
[11:06] <gnomefreak> !fonts > ianubuntu | please read the pm from ubotu
[11:06] <frankenstein2> Microsoft deserves a license? :)
[11:06] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+install+arial&btnG=Search&meta=
[11:06] <gordonjcp> ;-)
[11:06] <johns^> k1gwb: apt-get install msttcorefonts
[11:07] <ianubuntu> thanks :)
[11:07] <k1gwb> johns^: that was ianubuntu, lol
[11:07] <ianubuntu> i can't find the documentation for enabling restricted codecs :|
[11:07] <ianubuntu> mp3 and the like
[11:07] <Flannel> !restricted | ianubuntu
[11:07] <ubotu> ianubuntu: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[11:07] <gnomefreak> ianubuntu: your best bet is to work on one thing at a time
[11:08] <Flannel> especially because then when things go awry, you know excactly what you did that caused it, so you can fix it, instead of "well, it was X or Y or Z"
[11:08] <ianubuntu> gnomefreak: i know - i've got into a mess before :P
[11:09] <gnomefreak> danny3793: now please keep your attitude in a professional manner and take all offtopic topics to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[11:09] <danny3793> gnomefreak: i got your msg the first time, repeating yourself does not help..
[11:09] <ianubuntu> "does not include Tahoma or Arial Narrow" - dang - they're the main ones i wanted :P
[11:10] <gnomefreak> danny3793: just letting you know just in case.
[11:10] <GreySim> ianubuntu: Talking about the Red Hat fonts? Or something else?
[11:11] <misled> Am I in the wrong room asking for help in setting my default mail cleint.. since its Opera and not part of ubuntu package?
[11:11] <gnomefreak> misled: yep try #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:11] <misled> Should I also go into offtopic room?
[11:11] <danny3793> misled: yes your in the wrong channel, Gnomefreak will boot you out, and ikonia will tell you to go to the people who provided you the software.
[11:11] <DarthShrine> I have a Toshiba laptop with the Intel 945GM chipset, which has integrated audio, but I cannot get audio in Ubuntu. It is detected and drivers are loaded. The sound works fine in Windows. Has anybody seen this before?
[11:11] <Myrtti> danny3793: don't be silly, please
[11:11] <misled> OOHhh  Ok :).. Thanks.. :)
[11:11] <ianubuntu> greysim: microsoft ones, and msttcorefonts not having them all
[11:11] <gnomefreak> danny3793: stop.
[11:11] <k1gwb> misled: System > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[11:12] <danny3793> gnomefreak: im just giving him fair warning, stop trying to find reasons to boot me out, i was on topic.
[11:12] <ikonia> byeeeeeeee
[11:12] <misled> Kigwb: thats not working..  when I click link in open office document for example.. it will open FF browers still and wil not open mail client at all.
[11:12] <ianubuntu> can i install an official adobe reader as opposed to the one that comes with ubuntu?
[11:13] <misled> I'll go to offtopic room and see what I can find out. thanks :D
[11:13] <Myrtti> ianubuntu: yes.
[11:13] <tri3axe> how can i make azureus the deafult app to use?  if i try to change the deafult app in firefox, i need to look for the azureus file in filebrowser..but i have no clue where to find the "execute" file
[11:13] <GreySim> ianubuntu: Ah, well, Red Hat recently released some fonts that are supposed to be drop-in replacements for the Microsoft ones. I don't know much about them, but maybe they'll have what you're looking for?
[11:13] <GreySim> Question: I'm using http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html for the most part to create a PXE boot setup, and it says to copy /dev into the nfs root. Isn't udev supposed to dynamically create /dev though?
[11:13] <Myrtti> ianubuntu: search for acroreader
[11:14] <ianubuntu> greysim: thanks. i should just be able to copy them over from my 2000 partition
[11:14] <bullgard4> Where does the name 'GLADE' (of Glade Interface Designer) stem from?
[11:14] <ianubuntu> myrtti: thanks
[11:14] <john_watson> synatic
[11:14] <ianubuntu> where are fonts stored in the ubuntu filesystem?
[11:14] <koen_> hi i have a question about setting up a static ip
[11:15] <ianubuntu> myrtti: no package called acroreader found
[11:15] <GreySim> I ask because at "Configuring network interfaces..." I get an error about not being able to create /dev/null.
[11:15] <aenna> hi!
[11:15] <gnomefreak> Myrtti: it was removed in feisty
[11:15] <cjsoftuk_> I'm trying to use awk in combination with unzip -l to list all the filenames in a zip archive.  The problem comes when there's a space in the filename, as unzip uses spaces as separators.  How can I get awk to print from a particular index onwards?  Something like printing all fields higher than index 4, for example.
[11:15] <GreySim> ianubuntu: ~/.fonts/ is one place.
[11:15] <Myrtti> gnomefreak: ah-ha
[11:15] <Madkiss> hum.
[11:15] <koen_> how to determine which gateway adress i should fill in in the network manager
[11:15] <GreySim> ianubuntu: I imagine /usr/share/fonts/ probably stores them system-wide.
[11:15] <aunes> so. to LVM or not LVM. thoughts?
[11:15] <ianubuntu> greysim: thanks
[11:15] <ianubuntu> myrtti: no package called acroreader found
[11:16] <Myrtti> ianubuntu: as gnomefreak said, it's been removed in feisty
[11:16] <ianubuntu> ah okay
[11:16] <aenna> i want to know how i can launch apps one after another but i need them not to be closed when i launch the next one
[11:16] <ianubuntu> is there an alternative, or do I download the rpm from adobe direct
[11:16] <danny> hello
[11:17] <aenna> i used a batch like in ms-dos *.bat but it doesnt work
[11:18] <bullgard4> ianubuntu: Gnome_Search_Tool is your friend.
[11:18] <deCon> umm, can someone help me check something quick
[11:18] <deCon> for some reason, all my sudo commands are having issues being denied and its getting really irritating
[11:18] <ianubuntu> bullgard4: where abouts is that?
[11:19] <bullgard4> ianubuntu: Have you heard about this user-friendly tool?
[11:19] <stefg> deCon: either your user is not member of the admin-group, or your /etc/sudoers is broken
[11:20] <deCon> stefg: is there a way to check if /etc/sudoers is broken?
[11:21] <koen_> Hi! Does anybody know how to determine what gateway adress i have (for setting up a static ip
[11:21] <deCon> stefg: thanks, ill figure it out later, if i continue ill end up smashing my box with a hammer
[11:21] <stefg> deCon: not without root priv's :-). if you are the only user, and this is not member of admin you are locked out.
[11:21] <deCon> bash .playlist denied?!?!! aksdjfkasjfkewieifwefklwejioferwoihteidgj
[11:21] <stefg> deCon: boot in recovery mode and issue : adduser <username> admin
[11:22] <ianubuntu> bullgard4: no
[11:22] <ikonia> koen_: netstat -rn or "route"
[11:22] <deCon> stefg: do i have to set that up? Or by default after install..isn't my user automatically a superuser? using sudo...?
[11:23] <stefg> deCon: of course by default the *first* user is member of admin... but if you add a second one, and delete the first one later you just threw away the key to your box :-)
[11:23] <deCon> stefg: except for moving things and such, most everything in my last session has been denied. "bash: /xxx/xxxx/xxx Permission denied"
[11:23] <bullgard4> I advise you to install this handy tool. Open a Gnome terminal and type  /usr/bin/gnome-search-tool <Enter>.
[11:23] <deCon> stefg: i am the only user
[11:24] <stefg> deCon: what did you tinker with your box?
[11:24] <bullgard4>  ianubuntu:  I advise you to install this handy tool. Open a Gnome terminal and type  /usr/bin/gnome-search-tool <Enter>.
[11:24] <kblin> hm, that's interesting
[11:24] <deCon> stefg: nothing i know of
[11:24] <ianubuntu> bullgard4: thanks
[11:24] <kblin> ntp seems to query ntp.ubuntu.com for time, instead of my local server
[11:24] <deCon> stefg: but now i haven't been able to install a few things, and all kinds of ******* things have been not working as instructed
[11:25] <kblin> how do I stop that? I have my server set up as the only server in ntp.conf
[11:25] <Huijari> hi, does anyone know why i can't get iso8859-1 to work? http://pb.paivola.fi/189
[11:25] <koen_> ikonia thx
[11:25] <stefg> deCon: there's not much that you can do, if you're locked out of root-priv's... so does sudo not work at all or doesn't it work partly?
[11:25] <deCon> stefg: i'm trying to install something from DVD, that won't work. I'm trying to edit a cron file for setting up an alarm, that wont work. I'm trying to edit or fix that
[11:25] <ikonia> no problem
[11:26] <stefg> deCon: does sudo -s work ?
[11:26] <deCon> stefg: it works for editing commands, but for some reason...either my syntax is poor, or i have no freaking clue
[11:26] <deCon> stefg: sure does
[11:27] <GreySim> kblin: In the "Adjust Date & Time" window of the clock panel applet, you should be able to change servers, and ntp.ubuntu.com should be at the bottom of the list, so just deselect that.
[11:27] <GreySim> kblin: Or as I found out earlier, "gksudo time-admin" if you prefer.
[11:27] <stefg> deCon: so i think your syntax is poor :-)... check in the user-control applet if you are member of admin. and if you are read !root
[11:28] <deCon> !root
[11:28] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:28] <deCon> stefg: grrr, i have no time to learn CLI, but everything i need to do uses it and when i seek the information or help on here, it rarely helps, thank you anyway...ill just restart
[11:28] <faileas> o0
[11:29] <faileas> cli isn't that hard ;)
[11:29] <Rage__> faileas: no, its easy.
[11:29] <Rage__> man <command>
[11:29] <kblin> GreySim, it's a X11-less server install
[11:29] <stefg> another brilliant example  how time-consuming having no time to learn is ....
[11:30] <faileas> its easy in general, hell i'm more comfortable in command line in windows even, sometimes ;)
[11:30] <Rage__> Windows does not have a cli
[11:30] <Pijiu> how come I get this error when I try to move a file to another location: Error "Invalid parameters" while copying "/home/chris...????] .rmvb".
[11:30] <GreySim> kblin: Ah, sorry, no clue then. Half of what I know about NTP I just learned here tonight.
[11:30] <bullgard4> Huijari: Your dpkg seems to be all right. So I think you do not need to download more packages. Reboot your computer. Before logging in, readjust your locales using the field in the bottom-left of the splash screen.
[11:31] <Rage__> Pijiu: you might require more escaping, are you letting bash complete for you?
[11:31] <Pijiu> I have no idea what that means
[11:32] <kblin> GreySim, np :)
[11:32] <Haza1> Hello folks, My Ubuntu server lost power over the weekend and im trying to gain access to it.
[11:32] <Haza1> I can SSH into the server and i want to check the status and if its off, switch on remote desktop
[11:32] <Haza1> any pointers?:)
[11:33] <kblin> ah, that figures
[11:33] <kblin> I had to remove the peerstates file
[11:33] <GreySim> So, the exact error I get for my problem is this: "/etc/rcS.d/S40networking: 74: cannot create /dev/null: Input/output error"
[11:33] <ikonia> GreySim: /dev/null should already exist
[11:33] <ikonia> GreySim: its a static node
[11:35] <roopert> hello, exists a kernel dawned of this? 2.6.20-15
[11:36] <GreySim> ikonia: That's what I thought too. And it does exist on in the NFS root that I have. I copied /dev using 'cp -a /dev .' while in the NFS root. Was that not the right thing to do? (Remember, I'm adapting instructions from http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html and don't necessarily know what I'm doing. >.>)
[11:36] <john_watson> what is beagle. it use my full system sources...
[11:36] <ikonia> GreySim: whoaaaaaa
[11:36] <ikonia> GreySim: you don't copy /dev
[11:36] <Haza1> Or maybe someone knows the process name for the default remote desktop software bundled with ubuntu?
[11:36] <ikonia> GreySim: sorry, I missed the start of your post, but what (summary) is it your trying to do
[11:37] <SlimeyPete> Haza1: it's vnc. So presumably it'll be "vnc_server" or somesuch.
[11:37] <GreySim> ikonia: Yeah, that's what I thought. But I've used that howto in the past with no problems, so assumed I was wrong in thinking that /dev was created dynamically by udev.
[11:37] <ikonia> GreySim: no no, your spot on
[11:37] <Haza1> SlimeyPete: okay, as i said before i do have ssh access to the server. i just need to get the vnc server running again via ssh :)
[11:38] <vikzx86> How do configure xorg to get the best performance out of beryl from a Intel GMA 950?
[11:38] <stefg> !effects | vikzx86
[11:38] <ubotu> vikzx86: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[11:38] <GreySim> ikonia: PXE boot a laptop, using an NFS root, so that the programs run on the 1 GHz laptop, rather than the 400 MHz server the way LTSP would set it up.
[11:39] <ikonia> GreySim: got you, in that case you don't need to actually copy across a file system, in the same way.  I get "compressed sef format not supported"
[11:39] <kevinoops> best way
[11:40] <Frogzoo> lesshaste: tried vlc?
[11:40] <jscinoz> Hey guys whenever i try start a gnome configuration application (e.g gnome-session-properties) gnome-panel crashes and cannot be restarted correctly what can i do to fix this?
[11:40] <GreySim> ikonia: So should I delete /dev, and create an empty mountpoint? Or does udev even need that?
[11:40] <lesshaste> Frogzoo, yes.. doesn't seem to work
[11:40] <ikonia> GreySim: empty mountpoint
[11:40] <Myrtti> delete /dev?
[11:40] <Myrtti> tthats intresting ;-)
[11:42] <JinRoh> hello
[11:42] <Frogzoo> jscinoz: move your .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 directories somewhere else restart gdm - it's fairly drastic but should work
[11:43] <stefg> jscinoz: you might have a bad applet in your conf. add a new user for testing purposes and see if it's the case with the default settings, too
[11:43] <jscinoz> alright thanks both
[11:43] <jscinoz> the .g* directories are in my home right?
[11:43] <stefg> yes
[11:44] <lkthomas> does ubuntu got a LAMP meta package ?
[11:44] <stefg> !lamp
[11:44] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:44] <guillem101> Do Hard-drive video-cameras work with ubuntu?
[11:45] <pyrohotdog> How can I make my mouse scroll wheel switch workspaces?
[11:46] <pyrohotdog> When over the desktop, that is.
[11:47] <assasukasse> hi all, i have 6Gb used on a 9.3Gb partition for root, when the new release comes out, will i be able to upgrade?
[11:47] <GreySim> Hmm. Still getting the error. Sounds like I may have a general udev problem.
[11:49] <GreySim> The only way I really deviated from that site's walkthrough (and my previously successful adaptation of it) though, is that I used 'cp -a' instead of just 'cp -r' to move all the required directories into the NFS root, and I put /usr and /home in the NFS root as well, rather than sharing them over NFS, as I want no shared filesystems except my 80 GB media drive.
[11:50] <simplylezz> i have this little uninstall problem
[11:50] <simplylezz> i used synaptic to uninstall evolution
[11:51] <simplylezz> but the Menu > Applications > office menu still lists it
[11:51] <simplylezz> how can i remove the entry from there?
[11:51] <glick> excuse me how can i safe delete a harddrive
[11:51] <glick> ?
[11:51] <glick> i.e. destroying all residual data that could be recovered
[11:51] <glick> like write zeros to it
[11:51] <TimGroe> Hey, I don't know if this is the tight place to anounce this, but I have made a new system for building .deb files abit like checkinstall, but more ... structured, you can read about it at http://timg.ws/?p=20
[11:52] <Rage__> glick: cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdx
[11:52] <Rage__> glick: never going to be "safe though".
[11:53] <Rage__> Cos that kind of implies drstroying data.
[11:53] <glick> can i do that on the currently mounted partition
[11:53] <GreySim> So, I'm not very familiar with Launchpad. This spec looks like it was supposed to get done for Feisty, but judging by the lack of updates, is it safe to say that it didn't get done in time? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ltsp-fat-clients
[11:53] <glick> right well i WANT to destroy the data
[11:53] <glick> not just delete the pointers to the data
[11:53] <Rage__> glick: Must not be mounted.
[11:53] <GreySim> Or is that done somewhere, and I just can't figure out where?
[11:54] <CaptainMorgan> a great helper yesterday assisted me with the borderless window problem I was having... in a terminal I was instructed to do "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace", I have found that this borderless window problem happens every time a log out or reboot is performed. How can I make this terminal command permanent? I have already looked at sessions and saved a few times the settings... to no avail. Any ideas?
[11:54] <Rage__> There must be hundreds of apps for destroying data like that.
[11:54] <glick> heh FINALLY upgrading from dapper
[11:54] <Rage__> glick: If you want to kill it so it cant be recovered you want to cat /dev/urandom to it a few times.
[11:55] <Rage__> so "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/hd<letter><part_number>"
[11:55] <Rage__> That sould be ok...
[11:55] <Rage__> I THINK
[11:55] <aunes> I just installed ubuntu server: When I try to start my ssh daemon, I get: Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing.
[11:55] <glick> heh i just dont want my gf to find my porn
[11:55] <aunes> Any thoughts?
[11:55] <PriceChild> !ohmy | glick
[11:55] <ubotu> glick: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:55] <Rage__> glick: what fs you using?
[11:56] <glick> pr0n is a curse word now?
[11:56] <PriceChild> glick, it is not family friendly
[11:56] <nuu> CaptainMorgan: you can instruct your system to perform that on startup by editing your startup scripts, and adding that line
[11:56] <glick> Rage__, reiser
[11:56] <Rage__> Sorry, no idea then.
[11:56] <CaptainMorgan> nuu, can you oblige as to which script is the best choice?
[11:56] <Rage__> On ext3 just rm ing it would be fine.
[11:56] <stefg> CaptainMorgan: do you run compiz? or does that even happen with vaniia 2-D desktop?
[11:57] <CaptainMorgan> stefg, no, neither beryl nor compiz... the thing is - I reinstalled this system yesterday because of problem with b & c. I have decided to live without b & c
[11:57] <nuu> CaptainMorgan: typically, a safe bet is to use /etc/rc.local
[11:57] <glick> what do i need to encode off files?
[11:58] <glick> i mean ogg files
[11:58] <bullgard4> Where does the name 'GLADE' (of Glade Interface Designer) stem from?
[11:58] <orbin> glick: source?
[11:58] <CaptainMorgan> nuu,  my rc.local script does nothing - "exit 0" I am assuming to add my line before this exit line?
[11:59] <glick> orbin, cd
[11:59] <nuu> CaptainMorgan: yes, precisely
[11:59] <orbin> glick: i like grip
[11:59] <orbin> glick: sound juicer comes by default
[11:59] <glick> orbin, grip can do ogg?
[11:59] <CaptainMorgan> nuu, most excellent - thank you
[11:59] <nuu> np CaptainMorgan
[11:59] <glick> sound juicer just lets me extract the wave though
[11:59] <orbin> glick: yep
[11:59] <glick> never mind
[11:59] <glick> heh
[12:00] <glick> nice thanks orbin
[12:00] <orbin> glick: cd qulaity, lossy will give you an ogg file
[12:00] <orbin> *quality
[12:00] <glick> ogg is cd quality and smaller then mp3?
[12:00] <GreySim> Well, ideally I'd like to use Ubuntu for this, but since nobody seems to know how to accomplish this with Ubuntu, does anyone know of any easy(ish) way to get diskless PXE-bootable fat clients working with any distro?
[12:01] <sipior> glick: they're comparable
[12:01] <stefg> GreySim: looked at edubuntu?
[12:01] <orbin> glick: i meant choosing "cd quality, lossy" in sound juicer will give you an ogg file
[12:01] <glick> damn thats amazing, open source sofware is always like 10 times better then proprietary shistuff
[12:02] <yobrien> hello world
[12:02] <GreySim> stefg: I can get LTSP working on plain Ubuntu just fine. My problem with it is that the apps run on the server, which in my case is a 400 MHz PII, rather than the client, a 1 GHz laptop with no HDD or CD drive (suspect a busted IDE system).
[12:03] <aunes> how can I get ubuntu server (fiesty) to fetch things remotely when doing apt-get?
[12:03] <yobrien> whats LTSP?
[12:03] <orbisvicis> aunes ssh
[12:03] <Slart> !ltsp
[12:03] <ubotu> LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project
[12:03] <aunes> orbisvicis, its still doing it even with ssh
[12:03] <GreySim> It seems there are specs and preliminary code for what I want, but they're not done yet. https://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPFatClients https://code.launchpad.net/~ogra/ltsp/feisty-fat-clients
[12:03] <stefg> GreySim: yeah, i've read that... so you want to boot over the net, but run the apps locally (still being loaded over the net)
[12:04] <GreySim> yobrien: Linux Terminal Server Project.
[12:04] <yobrien> ok
[12:04] <glick> yay finally getting rid of dapper
[12:04] <GreySim> stefg: Yeah.
[12:04] <yobrien> dapper has firefox 1.5 !!!! much better
[12:04] <glick> i like all the new stuff of feisty
[12:04] <glick> i skipped edgy
[12:05] <aunes> so anyone else have a suggestion for fetching remotely from apt-get?
[12:05] <aunes> its trying to read from the CDROM (even through ssh)
[12:05] <stefg> GreySim: i was involved in a project with a similar problem... Finally they decided to equip the clients with IDE-flash-drives and forget about netbooting :-\
[12:05] <GreySim> stefg: And I know it's possible, as I've done it using this page as a reference: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html
[12:05] <yobrien> !source.list
[12:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source.list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:06] <Slart> aunes: fetching remotely? isn't that what apt-get does normally?
[12:06] <yobrien> !sources.list
[12:06] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[12:06] <GreySim> stefg: But I don't want shared /usr or /home directories, and I can't adapt the instructions to do that successfully apparently.
[12:06] <aunes> slestak_away, That's what I thought. I run apt-get and it asks for a cdrom
[12:06] <orbisvicis> gedit /etc/apt/source.list
[12:06] <Ayabara> I want to connect my laptop with ati m300 graphics to an lcd-tv using vga. Can I expect this to work out nicely?
[12:07] <aunes> orbisvicis, my sources.list is populated with reasonable values.
[12:07] <Slart> aunes: check system, administration software sources.. unclick the cd source there
[12:07] <aunes> nm. I found a rogue cdrom: line
[12:07] <aunes> ty
[12:08] <aunes> w00t! fortune here I come!
[12:08] <yobrien> !info fortune
[12:08] <glick> damn does anyone know why when i try to boot the ubuntu feisty install cd on my laptop i get this.... /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[12:08] <yobrien> slow....
[12:08] <ubotu> Package fortune does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:08] <glick> followed by this prompt... (imitramfs)_

[12:09] <bullgard4> The driver battery.c defines a C function 'static int acpi_battery_get_status(struct acpi_battery *battery, struct acpi_battery_status  **bst)'. I don not understand the construct 'struct acpi_battery_status **bst'
[12:09] <aunes> yobrien: it makes sexxy motd's
[12:09] <yobrien> yeah ... i remember  slackware used use fortune on the login script
[12:10] <aunes> yup. I've loved it ever since.
[12:10] <orbisvicis> anyone know what to do after this: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables?
[12:10] <hylje> orbisvicis: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:11] <GreySim> Fortune scares me. It predicted I would get an eviction soon, and within a week of that, I got evicted from the place i'd been living for the past three years. :o
[12:11] <yobrien> nice for screensavers tooo
[12:11] <GeorgeAScott> hi, would it be possible for somebody to explain to me why my mouse cursor disappears when over images or when trying to use wine?
[12:11] <orbisvicis> oh
[12:11] <glick> anyone have that same problem?
[12:11] <hylje> GreySim: predicting the future is not for everyone
[12:11] <GeorgeAScott> that same problem with fortune?  no.. not yet
[12:12] <Frogzoo> GreySim: tried booting with 'acpi=off' ?
[12:12] <yobrien> GreySim: did you check the warranty disclaimer on the software :)
[12:12] <Frogzoo> GreySim: it's not a h/w issue - other people get this, I think it's fixable
[12:12] <glick> hey when beagle is installed, where do you access it from?
[12:13] <GreySim> Frogzoo: No, but I'll try now. When using the shared /usr and /home directories, it booted just fine though, without having to do that.
[12:13] <yobrien> Frogzoo: places->search i think
[12:13] <yobrien> glick i mean
[12:14] <GreySim> Well, aside from taking 2-5 minutes to get the network configured, but at least it didn't completely hang and complain about /dev/null the way it does now.
[12:14] <xCyp> hello, is there a way (maybe a postfix module) to send back a confirmation mail to the sender (ex : when i send an email i get "250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as B72C11EE18" from the recieving server, and i want that "250 ok" to come back to me so i know my smtp server did his work)
[12:14] <orbisvicis> whats a terminal management library for readline ?
[12:15] <glick> yobrien, do you have to restart or something? or log out and log back on?
[12:15] <yobrien> glick: yobrien i think it sticks it self in the session start up programs ... so either log out or just run beagled
[12:15] <yobrien> wow i am self referencing
[12:15] <glick> oh ok
[12:16] <glick> heh
[12:16] <glick> damn buggy kernel!
[12:16] <glick> what the hell
[12:16] <Frogzoo> orbisvicis: install build-essential
[12:17] <Frogzoo> glick: you tried booting with 'acpi=off' ?
[12:17] <orbisvicis> yeah i did that that, this is the next error ; )
[12:17] <glick> no Frogzoo
[12:17] <Frogzoo> GreySim: sorry, the 'acpi=off' wasn't for you - tab malfunction
[12:17] <spheard> I keep getting the error. "Couldn't connect DCOP signal. Won't receive any status notifications!" anyone got any ideas?
[12:18] <jkjk> Hi! I switched from Kubuntu feisty to Ubuntu feisty on my notebook and have a problem: when starting applications in gnome they are only partially drwan. (like parts or all of the inside of the window is not beeing drawn..) any suggestions ?
[12:18] <GreySim> Frogzoo: Ah, that makes sense then.
[12:18] <timbobsteve> hey all
[12:19] <Frogzoo> jkjk: up to date driver ?
[12:19] <neo__> hi,sorry,i'm french....
[12:19] <glick> nah same deal Frogzoo
[12:19] <glick> cant access tty
[12:19] <glick> job control turned off
[12:19] <glick> hmm
[12:19] <jkjk> Frogzoo: I guess -  i have an ati card and use the fglrx driver (the one that came with feisty)
[12:19] <aunes> !info ucf
[12:19] <xCyp> can nobody help me? :(

[12:20] <aunes> is there an !info like tool for the command line?
[12:20] <orbisvicis> info [command]
[12:20] <orbisvicis> also man [command]
[12:20] <aunes> that can't be right. it makes too much sense :-P
[12:20] <Myrtti> aunes: aptitude show <package>
[12:21] <orbisvicis> ; )
[12:21] <jatt> apt-cache show
[12:21] <orbisvicis> !readline
[12:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about readline - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:21] <faileas> well they did have like, what 30 years of unix ideas to draw on, and some other new tricks in addition ;)
[12:21] <NoEvidenZ> Bahahaha
[12:21] <NoEvidenZ> I just came in here to ask for help
[12:21] <Frogzoo> glick: grep kopt /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:22] <timbobsteve> my server install stops at 85% when installing the DNS packages.... any idea why?
[12:22] <NoEvidenZ> While typing out the error, I realised that I needed to put "sudo" in front of the command.
[12:22] <glick> Frogzoo, where should i do this?
[12:22] <glick> at that prompt?
[12:23] <orbisvicis> any ideas with this: configure: error: Could not find the readline library.. to quote some forum 'i installed every package i could find that contained readline'
[12:24] <Frogzoo> glick: it seems the upgrade leaves menu.lst messed up - can you boot the cd live, then mount the root fs somewhere & fix menu.lst
[12:24] <GreySim> Would an "Input/output" error be the right error if the problem was related the the root filesystem being read-only? That's what I'm starting to suspect might be my problem. I'm not getting any logs written to my NFS root either.
[12:24] <glick> Frogzoo, im not doing an upgrade
[12:24] <glick> im doing a fresh install
[12:25] <Frogzoo> ooh that's awkward
[12:25] <Frogzoo> glick: you get this booting the cd?
[12:26] <timbobsteve> where is the installer log located ?
[12:26] <glick> Frogzoo, yea
[12:27] <LeventO> hello all, does the w32codecs package exist for amd64 version of feisty?
[12:27] <gordboy> no
[12:27] <NoEvidenZ> :O
[12:27] <orbin> timbobsteve: /var/log/installer/syslog ... i think
[12:27] <orbisvicis> yes, w64codecs its called
[12:28] <NoEvidenZ> Heh, fits.
[12:28] <glick> damn i may have to settle for edgy on my laptop :(
[12:28] <Frogzoo> glick: this might sound strange, but does that machine have an fd drive?
[12:28] <orbisvicis> something like that, medibuntu
[12:28] <glick> no Frogzoo
[12:28] <glick> i took it out
[12:28] <timbobsteve> orbin: I am still in the livecd installer environment... and /var/log has not installer folder :/
[12:29] <LeventO> orbisvicis, thanks, found it, installing now...
[12:29] <glick> heh i think i threw that away a long time ago
[12:29] <orbin> timbobsteve: i assume it gets created after you install.
[12:30] <cMadman> using scp, is it possible to recursively copy directories, but provide a pattern to match only certain file extensions?
[12:30] <NoEvidenZ> Ha, turns out I can fix my own errors now. I've had that many nothing's new to me. I don't know whether to be proud or dismayed.
[12:30] <timbobsteve> damn... I am trying to diagnose some installation problems. THe isntall hangs at 85% evertime. The media checks out fine though :S
[12:30] <glick> yes cMadman
[12:30] <rikstah> cMadman, i'm pretty sure it's not
[12:30] <rikstah> oh
[12:30] <rikstah> hah
[12:30] <cMadman> lol
[12:30] <glick> cMadman, bash regular expressions work with scp
[12:30] <orbisvicis> whats the command to clean up after ./configure ?
[12:30] <cMadman> glick, could you give me an idea of the syntax
[12:31] <glick> damn i have to go to edgy
[12:31] <glick> cMadman, regular expressions can get complex
[12:31] <rikstah> so maybe like  *.{mp3,ogg,foo} cMadman
[12:31] <LeventO> totem won't play dvd's, it asks me whether i'm trying to play without libdvdcss installed (i do have it installed)
[12:31] <cMadman> I've tried scp user@domain:path/*.extension path
[12:31] <TakeOut{u}> orbisvicis, make clean
[12:31] <glick> cMadman, http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/chap_04.html
[12:31] <orbisvicis> ok
[12:31] <cMadman> appreciated glick, will read
[12:31] <glick> damn it ubuntu!
[12:31] <rikstah> cMadman, that won't recurse
[12:32] <cMadman> sorry
[12:32] <cMadman> I omitted the -r
[12:32] <orbisvicis> you also have to update xine, levent0
[12:32] <Mase> hi guys, i am trying to install php5.2 from dapper backports. I added the backports to my sources and ran sudo apt-get -t dapper-packports php5 but it seems to still grab the one from main
[12:32] <josea> ola
[12:32] <rikstah> scp -r *.{mp3,ogg,flac}<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:32] <Mase> what else do i need to do ?
[12:32] <Frogzoo> glick: "When booting with livecd (Feisty 7.04) you could just try the option that says "Boot with Driver CD", but just keep the regular livecd in the drive and press enter both times when prompted to do so. This worked for me, so you guys may as well try it."
[12:32] <glick> how the hell am i gonna get feisty on my laptop
[12:32] <cMadman> rikstah, my issue has been that "scp -r user:domain:path/*.extension path limits me to the current directory
[12:33] <josea> alguien abla espaol
[12:33] <glick> Frogzoo, yeah i tried that same deal, ill try it again though
[12:33] <stefg> !pinning | Mase
[12:33] <ubotu> Mase: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[12:33] <rikstah> cMadman, not sure then.
[12:33] <GreySim> Anyone know where I can learn about changing ip=dhcp to whatever it needs to be for a static IP? Google is failing me. Or I'm failing Google. Either way, I can't find the info.
[12:33] <GreySim> In the kernel boot options, I mean.
[12:33] <Mase> ubotu: thanks.

[12:34] <anathematic> if there a way i can download progrms such as vlc for my linux box and then transfer to it?
[12:34] <anathematic> (no internet to it atm)(
[12:34] <josea> what your name?
[12:34] <glick> praise xenu! it appears to be working! thanks Frogzoo
[12:35] <jscinoz> anathematic go to packages.ubuntu.org and download the .deb for it
[12:35] <jscinoz> and run that on your linuxbox
[12:35] <anathematic> =D ty
[12:36] <anathematic> okay next problem, my linux box hasn't actually installed by default any of my drivers for my onboard network card :(
[12:36] <LeventO> for some reason i can't find xine, do i have to look in a special repository for that (the amd64 feisty version)
[12:36] <glick> man we all owe richard stallman so much
[12:36] <tarelerulz> How do you set up konqueror to use mplayer like firefox does?
[12:36] <anathematic> i'm sorry is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ up for anyone else?
[12:37] <orbisvicis> no.. are you using synaptics ?
[12:37] <LeventO> anathematic, no, and wasn't up about 6 hours ago when i last checked
[12:37] <glick> its not till youve been using free software for a while and then try to go back to proprietary software do you realize how crappy prop software is
[12:38] <anathematic> :<
[12:38] <orbisvicis> proprietary =! patent-ridden
[12:38] <ferronica> rythmbox unable to play .m4p format.
[12:39] <Lounge> prop software is not good~if there were any back doors in that software, no one would be able to patch is their self's. they would have to wait for the company to do it as a service pack
[12:39] <glick> orbisvicis, some software should by its nature be proprietary
[12:39] <glick> i.e. games
[12:39] <glick> or not should
[12:39] <glick> but is acceptable
[12:39] <glick> i can understand proprietary games software
[12:39] <orbisvicis> i was just trying to exclude stuff like xine and decss etc
[12:39] <orbisvicis> drivers should be opensource
[12:40] <orbisvicis> mqybe not gpl, but at least open
[12:40] <faileas> not always possible
[12:40] <Frogzoo> orbisvicis: -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:40] <orbisvicis> oh right
[12:40] <orbisvicis> srry
[12:40] <LeventO> what is the name of the xine package, if i get xine-ui, does it have everything it needs?
[12:41] <ferronica> rythmbox unable to play .m4p format.
[12:41] <davalex> u need the gstream packages
[12:41] <Lounge> you could do "sudo apt-cache search xine"
[12:41] <traherom> personally, I use gxine
[12:41] <defrysk> LeventO, try apt-cache search xine and find out for yourself
[12:41] <orbisvicis> dont need xine-ui
[12:41] <orbisvicis> just libxine and xine-totem
[12:42] <defrysk> Lounge, no sudo needed for that
[12:42] <Lounge> oh you're right
[12:42] <Lounge> sudo apt-get install
[12:42] <Lounge> sudo is needed

[01:16] <digital_k> has anyone noticed that coming back from a reboot or x restart, the icons on the far side of the panel are reaarranged and the network icon sometimes isnt there?
[01:16] <kairu0> aunes, how would i do that?
[01:16] <aunes> kairu0, truthfully, it always does it for me.
[01:16] <aunes> kairu0, I'd suggest doing: dmesg | grep usb    or grep hotplug   or something like that
[01:16] <aunes> make sure the process that discovers usb devices is starting up.
[01:17] <ferronica> Is there any way to play .m4p format in ubuntu 7.04

[01:18] <Mase> kandala: afaik the chipset you are using is made by a company that refuses to release the specs for their cards so that Linux can use the device correctly. So it could be that the drivers just aren't very good. The best way to "fix" it would be to write to broadcomm and tell them why you won

[01:26] <Luxurious_> (By the way I have a Knoppix LiveCD running)

[01:27] <rausb0> orbisvicis: looks like you have installed an older version of runit which needs /etc/inittab. IIRC feisty doesn't have that file anymore.
[01:27] <rausb0> orbisvicis: did you upgrade from edgy to feisty or did you install feisty from scratch?
[01:28] <orbisvicis> from scratch ... runit 1.5.1-1
[01:28] <ianubuntu> how do i add config to X? http://linux.seindal.dk/2005/06/04/logitech-cordless-click-plus-mouse/

[01:32] <orbisvicis> contains all proprietary stuff for feisty
[01:33] <digital_k> so no one else having issues with the panel icons being silly after x restart or reboot? maybe its just a fluke here.
[01:33] <rausb0> orbisvicis: maybe medibuntu has too old repositories, not matching the feisty versions
[01:33] <Elive_user27> can fiesty be run as live cd
[01:33] <orbisvicis> yes, it can
[01:33] <digital_k> Elive_:yes
[01:33] <Elive_user27> thanks
[01:33] <bimberi> Elive_user27: yes, it's called the "Desktop CD"
[01:33] <orbisvicis> no, medibuntu only has the proprietary stuff
[01:34] <ianubuntu> i have no idea where an xfree config would go....
[01:34] <numan> so how is going feisty fawn  looking for someone who had crashes with it?
[01:34] <rausb0> orbisvicis: sorry, then i don't know where that version of runit comes from
[01:34] <digital_k> numan: what do you mean exactly?
[01:34] <orbisvicis> im going to reboot
[01:35] <digital_k> numan: its pretty very stable if thats what you are getting at.
[01:35] <digital_k> numan: all ubuntu versions are pretty much, its the tweaking that gets one in trouble IMO ;)

[01:38] <rausb0> karan: then you only have the ssh client installed
[01:38] <ethercle1r> is there a way to remove the title bar from the terminal?

[01:40] <orbisvicis> i think 1.5.1-1 is the latest version for amd64
[01:40] <Elive_user27> bimberi: did this beep you?
[01:40] <bimberi> Elive_user27: yes it 'hilights' on my IRC client

[01:41] <orbisvicis> yeah, this is weird .... im uninstalling git
[01:42] <rausb0> orbisvicis: first you have to resolve the runit config problem
[01:42] <rausb0> orbisvicis: maybe sudo touch /etc/inittab will help, no sure though

[01:51] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> how do you create a new folder from within the file selection dialog box?
[01:51] <numan> digital_k: i want to know that if it is doing well so that i can upgraDE WITHOUT PROBLEMS

[02:38] <christian_> Frogzoo: no, it is the folder home inside
[02:38] <christian_> again
[02:38] <HHP2K> Hello everyone!
[02:38] <ikonia> cd /home/user
[02:38] <ikonia> tar cvf /var/tmp/docs.tar documents
[02:38] <tony_>
[02:38] <varka> christian_: --no-recursion
[02:38] <HHP2K> I finally managed to figure out how to use gaim to get on IRC
[02:38] <christian_> ikonia: also in a php script?
[02:38] <HHP2K> Can someone help me out?
[02:38] <ikonia> christian_: I don't write php
[02:38] <ikonia> HHP2K: ask the question
[02:38] <christian_> i test it
[02:39] <enigma_> ok hhp2k
[02:39] <tony_> who you are, why i am here
[02:39] <HHP2K> I'm running XPSP2PRO, installed vmware and have Ubuntu 6.06.1 running on it right now.
[02:39] <ikonia> ok
[02:39] <enigma_> your problem is windows
[02:39] <tony_> "quit"
[02:39] <HHP2K> I was about to start upgrading with synaptics, but it's asked me for a password
[02:40] <ikonia> HHP2K: enter your using password
[02:40] <tony_> quit
[02:40] <HHP2K> I never set a password on it yet, so I researched the problem
[02:40] <tony_> quit
[02:40] <rausb0> tony_: /quit
[02:40] <tony_>  exit
[02:40] <HHP2K> what?
[02:40] <tony_> out
[02:40] <Frogzoo> HHP2K: same password as you log in with
[02:40] <tony_> i try to out of here
[02:40] <rausb0> tony_: /quit
[02:40] <enigma_> wow
[02:41] <HHP2K> I'm logged in as root, I think.
[02:41] <HHP2K> and it isn't letting me create a new user.
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: no your not
[02:41] <enigma_> hhp2k just type your password
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: your logged in as an unprivilged user
[02:41] <HHP2K> I don't have a password though.
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: just type your user password
[02:41] <HHP2K> I never set one.
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: you set one to login
[02:41] <HHP2K> Nope.
[02:41] <ikonia> hang on
[02:41] <ikonia> he's using the live cd
[02:41] <HHP2K> I was simply logged in when it started
[02:41] <enigma_> you have to
[02:41] <enigma_> ohh
[02:41] <enigma_> gksu synaptic
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: you've not installed ubuntu yet ?
[02:41] <ShesMe> Fen try #ubuntu-bots with ! in front of what you looking for
[02:42] <ikonia> enigma_: thats all it can be
[02:42] <enigma_> yeah
[02:42] <enigma_> your right
[02:42] <HHP2K> I'm running ubuntu on vmware.
[02:42] <ikonia> HHP2K: but you've not installed it into vmware
[02:42] <ikonia> HHP2K: your running from a livecd
[02:42] <HHP2K> Essentially, I guess
[02:43] <Fen_> Hey, I'm new ubuntu user so sorry for any silly questions which I may make.. Could you please tell me if it is possible to choose where to install software instead of Ubuntu just auto installing the software into my File System directory?
[02:43] <ikonia> HHP2K: so you need to install it
[02:43] <HHP2K> I downloaded this version of ubuntu.
[02:43] <Moduliz0r> hi
[02:43] <ikonia> Fen_: no
[02:43] <HHP2K> It's not on a Live CD
[02:43] <Frogzoo> Fen_: not worth it
[02:43] <Moduliz0r> Does the latest release of Ubuntu support the Speedtouch USB DSL modem?
[02:43] <enigma_> is it the .iso
[02:43] <ikonia> HHP2K: you either have not installed ubuntu - or you did set a password to login, pick which it is
[02:43] <HHP2K> It was designed for vmware.
[02:43] <HHP2K> have not installed ubuntu.
[02:44] <enigma_> hhp2k : you mean the .iso designed for vmware
[02:44] <HHP2K> I believe so, yes
[02:44] <Moduliz0r> Does the latest release of Ubuntu support the Speedtouch USB DSL modem?
[02:44] <enigma_> yeah you have to install that
[02:44] <Drel3> need good rss reader
[02:44] <ikonia> Moduliz0r: look on the hardware compatability list on ubuntu.com
[02:44] <Frogzoo> !hardware | Moduliz0r
[02:44] <Moduliz0r> Thanks
[02:44] <ubotu> Moduliz0r: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[02:44] <Moduliz0r> Doesn't appear so :/
[02:45] <HHP2K> I think someone suggested typing gksu synaptic into the terminal.. I did that, and it asked for the password again.
[02:45] <Fen_> aah ok, its just that partition only has 1.5GB on it and all my programs are being installed in there... U see I kinda wanted to have it like, that is where OS is stored and Program are stored on different partition?
[02:45] <ikonia> HHP2K: you can't update until you install
[02:45] <HHP2K> I see.
[02:45] <enigma_> hhp2k: are you sure you did not set up a password
[02:45] <HHP2K> Positive.
[02:45] <ikonia> hes not installed it
[02:45] <HHP2K> Is there a way to install it without mucking up XP?
[02:45] <ikonia> HHP2K: yes
[02:46] <Frogzoo> Fen_: you can mount /usr on a different partition - it's not a bad idea actually
[02:46] <enigma_> ikonia: not so, if he is on live cd then it would not ask for a password if he typed gksu synaptic
[02:46] <HHP2K> Where can I find the resources to do that?
[02:46] <ikonia> enigma_: hmmmm that could be right
[02:46] <Frogzoo> Fen_: moving /usr after you've installed isn't really doable for beginners
[02:46] <zmo> HHP2K: username=ubuntu password=ubuntu on the vmware ubuntu image
[02:46] <HHP2K> I'll try that.
[02:47] <Fen_> Ah ok, I see cheers Frogzoo
[02:47] <HHP2K> Correct!
[02:47] <HHP2K> Oh wow, thank you
[02:47] <enigma_> wow zmo is the man
[02:47] <ikonia> that must be a vmware image
[02:47] <HHP2K> It is
[02:47] <ikonia> rather than an iso image
[02:48] <HHP2K> When I downloaded vmware, I found the image through a vmware resource
[02:48] <benkee> hi
[02:48] <rausb0> HHP2K: and there were no docs with the image telling you which the username/password is?
[02:49] <HHP2K> rausb0: I had checked, and no.
[02:49] <HHP2K> I thought about that initially
[02:49] <Fen_> How can I log in as "Root" user so I can delete this annoying partition I don't wish to see anymore on my Desktop?
[02:50] <enigma_> gksu gparted
[02:50] <HHP2K> Okay guys, ready for another question?
[02:50] <enigma_> go for it
[02:51] <HHP2K> My resolution for XP is 1280x1024. ubuntu runs inside of that resolution at 800x600, which is crippling. I tried to change the res, but the only options are 640 and 800. No resources online.
[02:51] <enigma_> HHP2K : go for it
[02:52] <defrysk> !fixres
[02:52] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:52] <ikonia> HHP2K: be aware that vmware can't access your hardware direct
[02:52] <imc_> One last try: I am trying to run NetworkManager from the command line and cat the terminal output into a file for debug and it's not working. I am root.  the command is      NetworkManager --no-daemon > nm.log   Can anyone tell me why it's not working?
[02:52] <enigma_> ikonia: thats what I am thinking
[02:53] <HHP2K> Okay. Thanks again guys :)
[02:53] <enigma_> HHP2K : either a setting on vmware or some issue with virtual driver
[02:53] <digital_k> HHP2K: I use VirtualBox, and it installs its own drivers within the virtual machine. Does VMWare have that option?
[02:53] <enigma_> thats my opinion
[02:53] <zmo> HHP2K: check out vmware-tools
[02:53] <rausb0> imc_: if you still see the debug output in the console, try this: NetworkManager --no-daemon >nm.log 2>&1
[02:53] <Fen_> How can I log in as "Root" user so I can delete this annoying partition I don't wish to see anymore on my Desktop?
[02:54] <imc_> Thanks rausb0
[02:54] <enigma_> Fen_ : gksu gparted
[02:54] <enigma_> Fen_ then type your password
[02:54] <Fen_> gksu gparted?
[02:54] <imc_> That did it rausb0 thanks very much
[02:55] <enigma_> Fen : either open a terminal and type that or hold alt + f2 and then type that
[02:55] <Fen_> fantastic thanks :)
[02:55] <rausb0> imc_: explanation: i also redirected stderr to the file
[02:56] <cef> upgraded from dapper to edgy (I'll get to feisty soon) but full screen OpenGL is too dark compared to the way it was under Dapper. Using the nvidia driver. Any suggestions?
[02:57] <imc_> Yeah, it made sense once I saw, thanks so much for thae tip and the explanation!
[02:57] <rausb0> imc_: 2>&1 redirects stderr (usually file descriptor 2) to stdout (usually file descriptor 1)
[02:57] <imc_> nice.
[02:57] <imc_> Thank you again rausb0
[02:57] <rausb0> imc_: you're welcome
[02:59] <Fen_> enigma_: Even after doing that and putting in password when I try to unmount the drive I get issue about not having the privilege?
[03:00] <digital_k> i have a silly question about getting an ubuntu.com email address, how is this possible? Ive gotten numerous emails from different sources and their address is @ubuntu.com
[03:00] <digital_k> any ideas?
[03:00] <overclocker> hi, i'm trying to install xen on feisty, the os starts but my desktop is not working
[03:00] <SomeNick> hey
[03:00] <close2> hello, i am still trying to debug a notebook, which needs ~10 minutes to boot
[03:01] <enigma_> Fen_ that should give you root privliges
[03:01] <digital_k> 10 minutes?! wow
[03:01] <close2> i've already removed quiet and splash from the grub menu
[03:01] <close2> and it hangs at "Reading files needed to boot"
[03:01] <SomeNick> how do i mount a harddrive so that users can write to it, because when i sudo mount /dev/myhdd /mountpoint it auto sets the permission to root:root?
[03:01] <Fen_> enigma_ doesn't seemed to have worked..
[03:01] <close2> the live-cd works as expected
[03:01] <close2> dmesg doesn't help either
[03:02] <enigma_> Fen_ your not trying to unmount a drive you are using are you?
[03:02] <close2> badblocks didn't find anything (i canceled it after ~ 1/3 though)
[03:02] <digital_k> close2:could be a hardware issue possibly
[03:02] <ianubuntu> when i click the power button, there is no turn off option - only suspend and hirbernate
[03:02] <ianubuntu> any ideas why?
[03:02] <maverick> hi
[03:02] <Fen_> enigma_ nah, not using that drive
[03:03] <overclocker> does xen works on feisty?
[03:03] <digital_k> ianubuntu: i think you can change that in the power settings
[03:03] <maverick> can you tell me how can i change my local ip in ubuntu 7.04
[03:03] <rausb0> maverick: temporary or permanent?
[03:03] <joebleaack> help
[03:03] <enigma_> Fen_ : Try going to System >> Administration >> GNOME partition editor
[03:03] <maverick> i need it for my lan

[03:04] <Fen_> enigma_ its not listed there buddy
[03:04] <thman> bonjour  tous / hello all
[03:04] <ianubuntu> it seems strange there isnt a shutdown option though
[03:04] <maverick> oh, temporary

[03:04] <enigma_> Fen_ check personal message in red at top
[03:04] <thman> bonjour digital
[03:04] <rausb0> maverick: do you know which interface your lan is?  (eth0 for example)
[03:04] <maverick> yes eth0
[03:05] <rausb0> maverick: okay, then it is: sudo ifconfig eth0 your_ip_address
[03:05] <maverick> thanks
[03:05] <maverick> just a second
[03:05] <enigma_> Fen_ : open up a terminal and type gksu apt-get install gparted
[03:05] <digital_k> ianubuntu:go to system>preferences>power management> general tab
[03:05] <Fen_> enigma_ ok will try that
[03:05] <digital_k> and you can specify what happens when you press the power button
[03:06] <thman> je suis un nouvel utilisateur de ubuntu et je rencontre un soucis avec mon logiciel favoris (KDX.lexe) il me donne un message d'ereure me disantque le .lexe n'est pas re"conu par le systeme et je ne trouve pas d'autre version du sort y a t'il un utilisateur experimenter pour me guider un peut ?

[03:09] <minimec> Hi. I would like to transfer my evolution settings to my laptop. Somehow I am missing something. I copied the .evolution directory, the Evolutoin file in the gnome_private directory and the .gconf/apps/evolution directory. Still I don't see the account settings of my 5 mail accounts. Where in haven is evolution storing these settings. Can anyone help me?
[03:09] <Fen_> enigma_ doesn't appear to install it. After it asks me to accept and put in password nothing happens.
[03:09] <okapi> variant: I check on on Kinfo center
[03:09] <sarah> hello

[03:10] <variant> hammer: strange, have you altered the session file at all|
[03:10] <Fen_> enigma_ Do you think I should restart or something?
[03:10] <enigma_> Fen_ : no
[03:10] <digital_k> ianubuntu: i dont really know what happened , so that you only have those 2 options.
[03:10] <hammer> session running but I cannot see it
[03:10] <digital_k> did you disable anything?
[03:10] <rausb0> maverick: what do you mean by "lan client"?
[03:10] <variant> hammer: yeah, sounds like something is making it hang.. (still running but hung)
[03:10] <enigma_> Fen_ what version are you using?
[03:10] <variant> hammer: and do you have beryl|
[03:10] <variant> ?
[03:10] <Fen_> enigma_ 7

[03:11] <Costel> thanks
[03:11] <Fen_> enigma_ Why?
[03:11] <digital_k> ianubuntu: have you tried deleting that button then re adding it back to the panel?
[03:11] <digital_k> i dont know if that would really do anything, Im just grasping here.
[03:11] <Fen_> enigma_ I think I am going to do a reformat and start a fresh and properly sort things out.
[03:11] <rausb0> maverick: i don't care and i don't know any windows programs. why do you install linux when you are running windows programs on it?
[03:11] <enigma_> Fen_ ok
[03:11] <tri3axe> hm.. i wonder how many %  of worldwide users are using *nix compared to M$ now.. seems like *nix have sky rocketed last years
[03:12] <hammer> is there a way to get the gnome-panel to its default setting maybe that will work
[03:12] <maverick> coz other people on lan use the client, so i have no option
[03:12] <ianubuntu> digital_k: makes no difference :|
[03:12] <Fen_> enigma_ Thank you very much for ur help :)

[03:14] <okapi> variant: that card is D-link DWL-AG660 wich is my wireless adapter but can not have it work with any wireless software
[03:14] <variant> hammer: switch to ctrl alt f1 and run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then run that rm comand
[03:14] <joebleaack> yes it is usb
[03:14] <ianubuntu> earlier the shutdown button existed :|
[03:15] <leotr> do i need to download only ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.5/src/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-ru-3.5.5.tar.bz2?
[03:15] <leotr> would that be enough?
[03:15] <overclocker> i'm looking in google for a good tutorial to install xen on feisty but i couldn't find something good, anyone knows a good guide?
[03:15] <variant> okapi: ok, the pcmcia port is supported but the card you have plugged in may not be, you probably have to use ndiswrapper for that
[03:15] <variant> !ndiswrapper | okapi
[03:15] <ubotu> okapi: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:15] <variant> okapi: read that link
[03:15] <Pelo> joebleaack, check the model in the forum for instructions,   after you have .. connected to the modem   run  sudo pppoe.conf and follow the instructions,
[03:15] <Pelo> joebleaack, I don't take pm from ppl I don't know , sorry
[03:15] <hammer> thanks variant I will try that will let u know how it went thnks

[03:16] <maverick> rausb0:what if i want to change my ip address permanently?
[03:16] <variant> overclocker: the first link in a google search: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_xen_setup_debian_ubuntu
[03:16] <okapi> variant: this card was working find on Kubuntu 6.10..
[03:16] <rausb0> maverick: then you would edit the file /etc/network/interfaces
[03:16] <variant> okapi: maybe it is supported then
[03:16] <leotr> can you help me?
[03:16] <maverick> ok, ty
[03:16] <albert> hi, gxine tells my " Media stream scrambled/encrypted". It's the third DVD of the LOTR Special Edition and the first two worked very well. libdvdcss2 is also installed. Why could this be?
[03:16] <variant> okapi: what have you done to make it work?
[03:16] <rausb0> maverick: look in the manpage for the correct syntax of this file
[03:17] <Pelo> joebleaack, ok , try this,  menu > system > prefs,  hardware info,  find your modem in the list,   fine the ttys* addy,  when you have that run pppoe.conf and use that for a device
[03:17] <variant> albert: try with mplayer or vlc or ogle
[03:17] <variant> albert: gxine is not great
[03:17] <joebleaack> wel ok
[03:17] <joebleaack> i will try
[03:17] <digital_k> does anyone know how to stop the screen from dimming when you have to authenticate? i find the feature rather annoying. "/
[03:17] <albert> variant, vlc doesn't play it at all
[03:17] <okapi> variant: on 6.10 I installed the pcmcia utility and kwave and that it.
[03:17] <albert> i'll try mplayer
[03:17] <digital_k> ive searched around and i dont see a way to disable that
[03:17] <variant> okapi: so do that
[03:18] <Pelo> joebleaack, also try just looking up usb modem in the forum for generic instrucitons
[03:18] <variant> okapi: sorry, i know nothing about kde and little about wifi
[03:18] <variant> albert: could be a dodgey disk. mplayer is the most reliable of players (only if you compile it from source though)
[03:19] <variant> albert: use it for testing
[03:19] <digital_k> i prefer totem-xine, its a better experience in my opinion :)
[03:19] <joebleaack> o
[03:19] <albert> variant, well it just crashed with some 10 page repeating error
[03:19] <kbrooks> I have a very small file I'd like encrypted.
[03:19] <kbrooks> It is a list of phone numbers.
[03:19] <mjr> kbrooks, look into gpg
[03:19] <digital_k> so no ideas on how to disable screen dimming? if anyone knows please let me know, thanks.
[03:19] <okapi> variant: actually everything is installed as before...but no luck. I just install ndiswrapper but I have this error" E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper"
[03:20] <variant> albert: thats the pre compiled ubuntu mplayer which is not very good. try compiling it from source your self as results are generally very much better
[03:20] <variant> okapi: sorry, can't help you
[03:20] <ianubuntu> also, my computer seems quite happy to decode DVDs using totem, but can i get it so that the DVD menus work too? i tried installing totem-xine, but then totem errored when i tried to play anything
[03:20] <albert> variant, ooooh well..... thx ;)
[03:20] <kbrooks> mjr: How do I use it to encrypt and decrypt a file?
[03:20] <meeeeeee> Is there a way to see what resolutions my graphics card can handle? not the ones pre set in X?
[03:20] <Frogzoo> digital_k: disable the scripts in /etc/acpi/*bright*
[03:21] <mangojambo> Hi there ... people, do someone here have an USB multicard reader ??
[03:21] <digital_k> frogzoo: thank you , i will give that a look now!
[03:21] <variant> meeeeeee: more important is what your monitor can handle.. ddcxinfo-knoppix will tell you that
[03:21] <meeeeeee> thank you variant
[03:21] <meeeeeee> I will check :D
[03:21] <mangojambo> I have one and last week it was working ... 2 weeks ago isn't ...
[03:22] <HHP2K> OKay guys, I tried the little terminal script before to fix the res but it didn't work. Can someone point me to the resources for this again?
[03:22] <ianubuntu> also, my computer seems quite happy to decode DVDs using totem, but can i get it so that the DVD menus work too? i tried installing totem-xine, but then totem errored when i tried to play anything
[03:22] <mangojambo> In Ubuntu it works one week, one not ??? ;)
[03:22] <RivaeAerya> HELP!!!! I just got back from school, turned on my pc.. and saw the resolution was REALLY low.. so I logged in, and i try to set it, but i can't set it to high resolutions! What has happened to the video driver? what the heck?!
[03:22] <variant> ianubuntu: ogle is a great dedicated dvd player with good menu support
[03:22] <albert> variant, MPlayer v1.0rc1 this is it?
[03:22] <variant> albert: the source code?
[03:23] <variant> albert: yes
[03:23] <albert> ye
[03:23] <albert> kk, just checking ;) thx for advice
[03:23] <jhaig> RivaeAerya: Anything unusual about how you have booted up?  Have you plugged in a projector, for example?
[03:23] <digital_k> Frogzoo: i have that opened in gedit, exactly what do i comment out?
[03:23] <variant> albert: you need help compiling it?
[03:23] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: nothing unusual.
[03:23] <albert> nah, got allready how-to in browser ;)
[03:23] <digital_k> it opened 3 tabs btw
[03:23] <variant> ok, cool
[03:23] <Frogzoo> digital_k: sudo chmod ugo-w /etc/acpi/*bright*
[03:23] <ianubuntu> variant: thanks you
[03:23] <Frogzoo> digital_k: sudo chmod ugo-x /etc/acpi/*bright*
[03:24] <|sparr|> Using the network manager applet to configure a VPN, the option "Only use VPN connection for these addresses" doesn't seem to work.  If it's off then I get the VPN, but if its turned on then nothing goes to the VPN even through those addresses.  help?
[03:24] <digital_k> and that will stop the screen dimming when i authenticate? correct?
[03:24] <meeeeeee> variant:  I got a bash: ddcxinfo-knoppix: command not found with ddcxinfo-knoppix
[03:24] <joebleaack> question pelo it wil not ask me for an alredy conection to the internet
[03:24] <ianubuntu> variant: is there a way so that ogle autolaunches when i put in a dvd as opposed to totem
[03:24] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: nothing unusual. I just came back from school, and now the computer's all weird..
[03:24] <meeeeeee> maybe cos its an old macine
[03:25] <Frogzoo> digital_k: oh, that would disable all dimming controls - no you should check power manager settings
[03:25] <variant> ianubuntu: yeah, configure the removable media actions in the preferences menu of the ubuntu desktop.. don't have an ubuntu box here so can't tell you the exact location
[03:25] <aabrahao> Hi, how can I acess the ubuntu via internet?
[03:26] <digital_k> Frogzoo: when you open synaptic, its asks for a password, and the screen dims behind the password box, thats what I am trying to disable, the dimming of the screen.
[03:26] <jhaig> RivaeAerya: Have you looked in /var/log/XOrg.log?
[03:26] <albert> variant, just another question: do i need to remove the ubuntu-mplayer?
[03:26] <digital_k> there is no setting for that in power management
[03:26] <variant> albert: no
[03:26] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: I notice 3D acceleration works, though. No settings have changed in the Xorg.confs, and i'll take a gander at the log
[03:26] <albert> variant: it gets updated, i guess?
[03:26] <zero> anyone know what to do when firefox, opera and konq. fail on new install of edgy?
[03:26] <dakira> can anyone explain to me, how the automounting of CDs works (behind the scenes)?
[03:26] <VSpike> digital_k: That's not a power management thing.. that's a dithering effect
[03:26] <fuoco> is it possible to get the keyboard indicator to show flag-icons ?
[03:27] <digital_k> VSpike: how would one go about disabling it? any ideas?
[03:27] <hammer> variant after giving the command "rm ~/.gnome* I get the message "rm: cannot remove  directory 'home/user/.gnome: it is a directory .... should I remove all the gnome directories ? like .gnome , .gnome2 and .gnome2.private ?
[03:27] <Frogzoo> digital_k: oh, no idea sorry
[03:27] <mjr> dakira, hald notices that the CD is inserted, sends a dbus message to anyone interested, the gnome-volume-manager is interested and per default wants to mount it, does so via pmount, which allows normal users to mount removable drives
[03:27] <digital_k> Frogzoo: thanks anyway :)
[03:27] <kbrooks> hammer: rm -r ~/.gnome
[03:27] <aa^way> any ftp out here? gFTP is really bad :S gets stucks sometimes and 100 bugs more
[03:27] <Frogzoo> digital_k: you might find something in the gnome control - maybe
[03:28] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: I found some errors. Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21816/
[03:28] <kbrooks> hammer: it will ask if you want that dir removed
[03:28] <VSpike> digital_k: not sure - the KDE equivalent doesn't do it
[03:28] <VSpike> digital_k: why is it a problem?
[03:28] <variant> hammer: yea theyt will be recreated when u log in
[03:28] <zero> aa^way: commandline client like ncftp is good
[03:28] <chrissamael> hi every1
[03:28] <hammer> thanks will try this after this problem is solved I will start learning the commands :)
[03:28] <digital_k> Its annoying and its just something Ive never liked...lol
[03:28] <chrissamael> ive got a question
[03:28] <digital_k> id rather the box pop up  i put the password in, and go on about my day
[03:29] <chrissamael> is there a guid somewhere that tells me how to convert my debian to ubuntu?
[03:29] <VSpike> digital_k: you have any kde stuff installed?  If so, try "kdesu synaptic" from a terminal
[03:29] <digital_k> the screen dimming seems to add needless time to that
[03:29] <digital_k> I am using gnome desktop VSpike
[03:29] <chrissamael> any1?
[03:29] <dakira> mjr: thx.. I'm aksing because I just made packages of the new cdemu for ubuntu, but the problem with it is, that is loads images, but doesn't mount them (you have to do the mounting manually). so I just wanted to find out what the options are ;)
[03:29] <digital_k> chrissamel1: just ask...if someone can help they will :)
[03:30] <Heptofite2> hey, whats the command to upgrade to an i686 kernel?
[03:30] <gerhard> hi is there a ratDVD for linux?
[03:30] <VSpike> aa^way: yeah ncftp is great
[03:30] <chrissamael> has any1 got an idea?
[03:30] <Frogzoo> Heptofite2: there's no 686 kernel anymore - there's a module gets autoloaded
[03:30] <zero> chrissamael: you probably have to reinstall
[03:30] <digital_k> chrissamael1: you do realize that ubuntu is built atop Debian, right?
[03:30] <chrissamael> yes
[03:30] <dakira> mjr: how das hald notice a CD was inserted? by monitoring /dev/whatever?
[03:30] <Heptofite2> Frogzoo, assuming an older version of the distro, what would the command be?
[03:30] <digital_k> you would have to install Ubuntu to get Ubuntu tho.
[03:31] <gerhard> !ratdvd
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ratdvd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: I found some errors. Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21816/
[03:31] <Frogzoo> Heptofite2: sudo apt-get install linux-image-686
[03:31] <chrissamael> digital_k: the problem is that i only have the option to install debian on my server. and i want to convert it to ubuntu
[03:31] <chrissamael> digital_k: i found a guide some where, but that one doesnt work
[03:31] <digital_k> chrissamael: Not sure what you mean by convert, Debian is Debian and Ubuntu is Ubuntu...install Ubuntu if thats what you want.
[03:31] <Heptofite2> i have a closet full of ubuntu
[03:32] <Heptofite2> who do i have to call to make them STOP SENDING ME THE CDS
[03:32] <gerhard> how do i view ratdvd files on ubuntu
[03:32] <gerhard> ?
[03:32] <digital_k> Heptofite2: stop ordering them.
[03:32] <digital_k> you have to request them for them to be sent
[03:32] <SomeNick> hi, i installed samba server on my ubuntu desktop, but how can i make the server start when i bootup the computer?
[03:32] <digital_k> and the limit is now 3 per person I believe.
[03:32] <Heptofite2> digital_k, i stopped ordering them 3 years ago
[03:32] <Heptofite2> i keep getting them
[03:32] <danny3793> heptofite2: LOL, maybe send in an email? or you can call them if they offer that
[03:32] <rausb0> Heptofite2: they seem to like you :)
[03:33] <chrissamael> digital_k: as ubuntu is based on debian there should be the option to "add" the ubuntu packages to my running debian
[03:33] <Heptofite2> i have literally 400 CDs
[03:33] <Heptofite2> of various arch
[03:33] <digital_k> ive never had shipit send me unrequested cds in 3 years.
[03:33] <digital_k> hmmmm
[03:33] <danny3793> Heptofite2: why not hand these CDs out? only 6.06 or 7.04, as they are recent, but spread the love! Lol
[03:33] <Heptofite2> i mean
[03:33] <tri3axe> damn my microwave oven..  only heats on the edges of the food..><
[03:33] <Heptofite2> i guess i could use them as drinks coasters
[03:33] <zero> chrissamael: doesnt work like that. ubuntu is not debian, even though it is based on the same code
[03:33] <digital_k> chrissamael:perhaps, but that is not my area of expertise. Would be simpler to just install Ubuntu, instead of molding it into a Debian install seems like.
[03:33] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: you there?
[03:33] <danny3793> tri3axwe: thats for if you burn yourself on the first bite you can always go for the middle :)
[03:33] <tri3axe> i tougth microwave oven should heat from the inside and out
[03:34] <chrissamael> digital_k: the problem is that my server provider only has debian in his images for the server, not ubuntu
[03:34] <Heptofite2> danny3793, well, im not a huge fan of linuxes in general
[03:34] <Heptofite2> nothing against ubuntu
[03:34] <Heptofite2> i just think the kernel is rubbish
[03:34] <jhaig> RivaeAerya: I am, but I'm not an expert on X, I'm afraid.  :-(  Maybe someone else?
[03:34] <digital_k> Heptofite2: then why are you here? this is a help channel.
[03:34] <digital_k> !ubuntu-offtopic
[03:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-offtopic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:34] <digital_k> lol
[03:34] <digital_k> oops
[03:35] <danny3793> heptofite2: you can always compile your own kernel :P, but maybe you can make a dazzling CD car ;), just think, people could see you from miles away
[03:35] <SlimeyPete> !offtopic
[03:35] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:35] <Heptofite2> digital_k, i was just asking a question for somebody else, thats why
[03:35] <digital_k> SlimeyPete:thank you
[03:35] <melman101> Hey all
[03:35] <digital_k> hi melman
[03:35] <Heptofite2> danny3793, i don't think you undertand, its not a matter of precompiled kernels, i dislike linux kernel code as a whole
[03:35] <digital_k> Heptofite2: i simply meant that if you have a grievance with linux, this is not the place for it. :)
[03:36] <Heptofite2> digital_k, i was just explaining why i wasn't going to hand them out, heh
[03:36] <Frogzoo> linux stole my cheese!!
[03:36] <RivaeAerya> HELP!!!! I just got back from school, turned on my pc.. and saw the resolution was REALLY low.. so I logged in, and i try to set it, but i can't set it to high resolutions! What has happened to the video driver? what the heck?! There's something in my Xorg.log, pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21816/. My Xorg.conf is unaltered! HELP! i can't even read the messages this way without my eyes hurting
[03:36] <Heptofite2> i mean, people know i've got them, if they want them they can have them, i just am not going to promote it
[03:36] <aabrahao> Hi, how can I acess the ubuntu via internet?
[03:36] <digital_k> Heptofite2: place them in a box with a sign and let people get them if they want them.
[03:36] <digital_k> thats a good idea
[03:37] <RivaeAerya> Why are you guys ignoring me?
[03:37] <zero> Heptofite2: beercoasters
[03:37] <Heptofite2> zero YES
[03:37] <hammer> thank you it worked gnome-panel is back again .......glad I dont have to go back  to vista..........will get the manual out know to learn the basic commands thnks again :)
[03:37] <earnest> sound i could'nt start up,what is to be done now?
[03:37] <digital_k> RivaeAerya: someone will help you. you are not being ignored.
[03:37] <Heptofite2> anybody got a screenshot of the newest ubuntu?
[03:38] <Costel> after recompiling a kernel i want to copy  it on a diferent partition,copying the file  "vmlinuz" is enough?
[03:38] <RivaeAerya> digital_k: Alright. (I have bad expriences with this channel, everytime i ask something, no one answers and i am forced to use #ubuntu-offtopic)
[03:38] <geet> Heptofite2: Use google?
[03:38] <krinns> hi all
[03:38] <Heptofite2> geet why would i google when i can ask a channel full of ubuntu users?
[03:38] <digital_k> RivaeAerya: patience is a virtue, even if I dont believe it is. ;)
[03:38] <gordonjcp> what vim package provides syntax highlighting?
[03:38] <soulraven> help
[03:38] <krinns> i need to upgrate my firefox and jre on dapper
[03:38] <Catoptromancy> heh
[03:38] <krinns> any idea
[03:38] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: do you know which gfx card (chipset) you have and which driver is configured in xorg.conf?
[03:38] <RivaeAerya> digital_k: heh, well, i waited a day for answers back then, while chatting in #ubuntu-offtopic, and STILL no one answered
[03:39] <zero> gordonjcp: its a setting. dont remeber exactly
[03:39] <soulraven> i don't not how to install the sis driver for my laptop
[03:39] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: ATI Radeon 9250, "radeon" driver
[03:39] <gordonjcp> zero: no
[03:39] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: GLX works
[03:39] <digital_k> ahhh the dreaded 9250
[03:39] <gordonjcp> it's not a setting, because if I do ":syn on" it says it's not available in that version
[03:39] <zmo> gordonjcp: enable syntax highlighting globally in /etc/vim/vimrc
[03:39] <RivaeAerya> digital_k: Yep. my computer supports nothing but that card
[03:39] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: did you check the Section Screen in the xorg.conf file?
[03:39] <sahil__> can someone tell me how to install the "cube effect" on ubuntu 7.04 ? I want to impress my Vista friends
[03:39] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: I checked the whole conf and nothing was altered, and i didn't do it either
[03:40] <soulraven> i have xf86-video-sis-0.9.1
[03:40] <digital_k> RivaeAerya: reconfigure xorg to use the vesa drivers perhaps.
[03:40] <gordonjcp> zmo: E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on
[03:40] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: I just came back from school, after having used the computer yesterday, and now its that way. Is it an update?
[03:40] <soulraven> and i don't know how tu install
[03:40] <zero> gordonjcp wow, never seen that. have you tried :help?
[03:40] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: then you might pastebin the contents of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:40] <zmo> gordonjcp: sudo apt-get install vim
