[13:09] <poseidon> When I go to play 3d chess it says no Python GTKGLExt support.  How do I get this?
[13:09] <sinbox> MintLover, save it as a zip

[13:10] <jrib> !chess3d | poseidon
[13:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chess3d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:10] <MintLover> ok will winrar open it then or i need winzip for that?
[13:10] <jrib> ugh
[13:10] <wamphyri> winrar will open zip files

[13:10] <Kuwanger> MintLover: Far as I'm aware, winrar for Windows is backwards compatible with 2.x archives.  And, as far as I'm aware, that's the only type of rar archives that can be made in Linux.

[13:10] <MintLover> perfect ok i made it zip now let's hope it will work when i go xp later
[13:11] <MintLover> wich ones Kuwanger ?
[13:11] <Kuwanger> MintLover: Yea, winrar supports zip.  It'll work (short of something odd)
[13:11] <nhol> hi! is there a quick install of postfix with mysql support during ubuntu installation ?
[13:11] <Kuwanger> MintLover: Um, which ones what?
[13:11] <MintLover> the archives xp supports that can be made on linux?
[13:12] <hirak99> how can i kill update manager gui through an ssh session?
[13:12] <MintLover> zip and
[13:12] <MintLover> ???
[13:12] <hirak99> it is not allowing me to run apt-get
[13:12] <Kuwanger> MintLover: I believe XP natively supports zip files (as "compressed folders"), though I don't think it's installed by default.
[13:12] <Broady> for dual boot xp/ubuntu should i install ubuntu first or windows first?
[13:12] <Darkside> Ok, i've installed Ubuntu 7.10, my laptop has a C-Media 9880 Onboard sound card, and i've followed instructions on the forum about loading the snd-hda-intel module with model=intel, but that isnt working
[13:13] <wamphyri> so how are you supposed to use the restricted drivers manager if you can't get x to load?
[13:13] <Darkside> when i test the sound in the sound preferences it locks up
[13:13] <jonny_> hi
[13:13] <Kuwanger> MintLover: As for archives that can be supported, just about any.  Programs like winzip, winrar, and 7zip support almost all the common archives (zip, rar, tar.gz, and tar.bz2 to name a few).
[13:13] <KaiForce> I have several shell scripts on my desktop, that I associated to a text editor.  Now they won't execute.   Can I get rid of that association somehow?
[13:13] <wamphyri> winzip doesn't uncompress rar i don't think
[13:13] <Kuwanger> wamphyri: Oh..hmm..that's a shame.
[13:14] <MintLover> o perfect  Kuwanger  ill use winrar then :)
[13:14] <djyono> hii
[13:14] <wamphyri> winzip does your general gzip tar zip stuff like that
[13:14] <artfullylost_> There's an app called winrar that will do rars.
[13:14]  * Kuwanger prefers 7zip.
[13:14] <MintLover> ok thanx 1000 everyone
[13:14] <wamphyri> 7zip and winrar are better sollutions for compression programs lol
[13:14] <wamphyri> theres also winace
[13:15] <wamphyri> ok back to my issue lol
[13:15] <wompy> Hi,i've got an old machine with xubuntu 7.10 installed,but my little brother smashed sth.anyway-i'm able zu login,then the desktop comes up,but there's no shortcut,no "start-bar" and i'm not able to "click" something.does someone know this problem?is there a way to "repair" the installation?Thanks!
[13:15] <wamphyri> i need to install drivers for my nvidia cards
[13:16] <wamphyri> and well if X doesn't load how am i suppose to use the restricted drivers manager?
[13:16] <KaiForce> envy wamphyri?
[13:16] <wamphyri> envy?
[13:16] <spikeb> bah
[13:17] <artfullylost_> wamphyri : Did the live cd load x?
[13:17] <KaiForce> google it...  spikeb, you have something to add?  does envy suck?
[13:17] <wamphyri> artfullylost_ nope, had to do the text install
[13:17] <artfullylost_> All that comes to mind is "And you didn't see this happening?"
[13:18] <wamphyri> ok, next problems then
[13:18] <wamphyri> problem*
[13:19] <wamphyri> if i install the nvidia drivers from nvidia's site I can get X to load but on my next reboot i need to reinstall the drivers
[13:19] <wamphyri> hmm actually
[13:20] <artfullylost_> There's a small weakness in add/remove synaptic.

[13:40] <htk_> yes they have the same file name
[13:40] <htk_> but it dosenot work
[13:40] <Moppa> soundray - no, same there. but i have chrooted mysqlf into the system via a live-cd
[13:41] <ConstyXIV> can you dump an image of your HD, then restore it from the livecd?
[13:41] <soundray> Moppa: can you 'apt-get -f install' in the chroot?
[13:41] <Tmi> htk_: what program are you using then?
[13:41] <htk_> vlc
[13:41] <htk_> do u know better?
[13:42] <nox-Hand> Why does resolution changes for dual screen only work up to 640x480?
[13:42] <Tmi> ah, there you have to use "open file" and click the subtitle button and choose the subtitle file
[13:42] <Moppa> soundray - yes, but it didn't effect anything
[13:42] <nox-Hand> It doesn't show higher option, although projector can quite very much take it
[13:42] <nox-Hand> Same with the plasma TV

[13:53] <hirak99> it is not allowing me to run apt-get
[13:53] <egoleo> grub actually works but i want to add windows to it
[13:53] <tarzan> hi... is the nvidia driver/xrandr combo broken somehow?
[13:53] <Moppa> soundray - after an apt-get update i lost contact with the server via ssh, then when i brought it home it started up but didn't show any ethernet devices and was spamming that it didn't have permission to /bin/bash. After that i ran a apt-get upgrade and a apt-get remove (typo on the last one but it executed) and after that i only get the modprobe spamming.
[13:53] <dannyboylawless> What do i lose using lilo over grub??
[13:54] <Bastett> dannyboylawless- more likely to end up with an unbootable system
[13:54] <soundray> Moppa: you ran 'apt-get remove' without a packagename?
[13:54] <Bastett> you can configure grub live during boot (if for example you move a hard disk from master to slave)
[13:54] <Moppa> soundray - yes
[13:54] <soundray> !lilo | dannyboylawless
[13:54] <Bastett> but lilo must be redone with each change
[13:54] <ubotu> dannyboylawless: lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[13:54] <soundray> Moppa: what does that do?
[13:54] <captainm> dannyboylawless, I don't think lilo will solve this. Error 18 means that a read is attempted at a block address beyond the en of the bios translated area.
[13:54] <dannyboylawless> hrm..
[13:55] <test___> hi I idea use ubuntu but is it  support Ms-dos based packet programs? or how to run my old version ms-dos programs on ubuntu
[13:55] <captainm> dannyboylawless, in other words your bios is the culprit
[13:55] <LjL> test___, there are a couple of emulators in the repositories
[13:55] <captainm> test___, dosbox
[13:55] <dannyboylawless> i know when i was dealing with server i got it to load up using lilo but i would like to solve this problem...  ill try updating bios
[13:55] <test___> doxbox is perfect or maybe run it
[13:55] <Moppa> soundray - apparently it configured some packages (including modprobe) and then exited quite happily.
[13:55] <LjL> test___: hm?
[13:55] <Moppa> but on reboot i wasn't that happy :/
[13:56] <captainm> dannyboylawless, either that or create a separate /boot partition at the beginning of the disk
[13:56] <Moppa> can i find the apt logs anywhere so i can pastebin them to you soundray ?
[13:56] <tarzan> xrandr reports modes only up to 1024x786 with my geforce 4 ti... any ideas?
[13:56] <dannyboylawless> captainm, what would that accomplish?
[13:57] <captainm> dannyboylawless, Your bios will be able to reach the boot partition then.
[13:57] <tarzan> i'm using the nvidia driver btw...
[13:57] <test___> ljl --- programs money calculator and basic report and printing and use multi user I do emule config on ubuntu and dosbox?
[13:58] <LjL> test___: "dosemu" and "dosbox" (i'd say try the latter, first) are emulators which are specifically intended to emulate old computers, and which already come with a free clone of the IBM/MS DOS. then you have "bochs", which also fully emulates a PC, and other so-called "virtual machines", which use your CPU partyle directly, such as "vmware" (not packaged), "virtualbox-ose" and "qemu"
[13:58] <mysticalone> I really need help setting up grub, windows messed up my mbr and so I no longer get GRUB at start
[13:58] <soundray> Moppa: maybe...  /var/log/apt/term.log
[13:59] <LjL> test___, sorry but i absolutely cannot parse your question
[13:59] <unop> LjL is a bot now?? :)
[13:59] <zeke> "Error occurred while processing apache2-prefork-dev (NewVersion1)"
[13:59] <test___> why ubuntu because I don't like MS licence policy :) Thank you for all

[14:01] <soundray> test___: what's your first language?
[14:01] <mysticalone> I'm trying that but grub can't find my stage1
[14:01] <FloodBot2> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[14:01] <Moppa> soundray - There are no such directory
[14:02] <Moppa> or file
[14:02] <Moppa> there is a file called aptitude, but it is empty
[14:02] <soundray> Moppa: does /var/log/apt exist?
[14:02] <simmerz> I'm trying to install Brother printer drivers and I keep getting an error in my cups management saying this: "Filter "/usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcp9040cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_dcp9040cn" for printer "DCP9040CN" not available: Permission denied"
[14:03] <Moppa> soundray - nope
[14:03] <soundray> Moppa: that setup has gone wrong in more than one place. Would it be terrible to back up and do a fresh installation?
[14:04] <mysticalone> I get error 15 file not found when I use find /boot/grub/stage1
[14:04] <Moppa> soundray - yes, before i get my mysql server backuped i don't want that
[14:04] <Moppa> but i know there has been a lot of errors on this system
[14:04] <soundray> Moppa: perhaps you can use mysqldump from the chroot?
[14:05] <dannyboylawless> I'm going to do a reboot so i can have 2 (i think this is a good amount) partitions, one small one (3% of disk) for grub and the remainder for ubuntu.  I plan on using this as a file server, does this partitioning sound good?
[14:06] <Moppa> soundray - well, the problem is that my mysql-server has gone missing during the fuckups :/
[14:07] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dannyboylawless, u gonna need a swap
[14:07] <dannyboylawless> [Hardy], I'm not sure what that is
[14:07] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dannyboylawless, at least the installer gonna bitch about it if u dont give it one
[14:08] <soundray> Moppa: please watch the language... you can backup everything in /var/lib/mysql and reinstate the database in another machine (or this one once you've reinstalled)
[14:08] <dannyboylawless> [Hardy], Im not sure what your saying...
[14:08] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dannyboylawless, u need a separate swap partition
[14:08] <soundray> Moppa: there is some trickery involved, but I think I found help for that on the MySQL site once
[14:09] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dannyboylawless, which install cd are u going to use?
[14:09] <soundray> !swap | dannyboylawless
[14:09] <dannyboylawless> [Hardy], newest ubuntu desktop
[14:09] <ubotu> dannyboylawless: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[14:09] <Moppa> soundray - i was talking about my own achievementts, my bad. I talked about it in mysql-channel on qnet earlier and they recomended to fix the system first, but i guess that's not an option anymore :p
[14:09] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dannyboylawless, ya, read what bot said
[14:10] <dannyboylawless> alright, thanks
[14:10] <soundray> Moppa: you could of course do a heroic thing and run 'apt-get --reinstall install' on all packages in the cache...
[14:11] <Moppa> soundray - there is one thing left to try. When i run the startingscript for my mysql-server it says that some files doesn't have permission to /dev/null
[14:12] <mysticalone> Can my /boot be on a slave drive and I can install grub on it?
[14:12] <fortytwo> do i get this right, nvidia closed source drivers in hardy do not support xrandr 1.2?
[14:12] <soundray> dannyboylawless: I recommend keeping grub in the system partition, but having a separate system partition from the data partition is a good idea. My recommendation thus: 5GB system partition, 2GB or so swap, rest /home
[14:12] <soundray> Moppa: bad, bad news
[14:13] <FloodBot2> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[14:13] <Moppa> soundray - what?
[14:14] <soundray> Moppa: /dev/null should always be readable and writable to everyone/everything in the system. I can't see why it wouldn't be. So if something has changed permissions on that device, something has gone seriously out of hand.
[14:14] <captainm> mysticalone, I think so
[14:15] <Hreno> hey, I installed windows and now there's no grub so I can't get to ubuntu, I have 7.1 CD, what can I do to restore grub?

[14:16] <peter__> hello
[14:16] <Fenix|work> I have a find question :)
[14:16] <Fenix|work> how do I find files created 28 days or older?
[14:16] <dannyboylawless> okay, ubuntu desktop gave me plenty of swap on startup
[14:16] <soundray> Fenix|work: 'find . -mtime +28'
[14:16] <Fenix|work> find -type f -mtime +27?
[14:16] <Nihilist_Nerd> Can anyone reommenda kernel module for this graphics card; http://pastebin.ca/95a8106 - thanks in advance.
[14:17] <soundray> Fenix|work: you need to give it a starting directory
[14:17] <Moppa> soundray - well, it can be because i hace chrooted myself into there?
[14:17] <peter__> I need some advice
[14:17] <Aquahallic> folks... looks like I blewup my bootloader... and it just comes to busy box prompt and won't let me boot into any kernel.... is there a way to boot with a cd and update grub and mkinitramfs??
[14:17] <peter__> will this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1131325182.1206540990@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccekadedjieiikgcflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=833707&category_oid= run ubuntu okay?
[14:17] <peter__> someone please help me if you know
[14:17] <Fenix|work> yeah... find /var/ftp/pub -type f -mtime +27 -exec rm {} \; 1>&2> /dev/null ... is my command line
[14:17] <vallhalla81> whats the best way to reformat a slave drive?
[14:17] <soundray> Moppa: I see, you tried to run mysql server in the chroot
[14:17] <Fenix|work> but wanted to make sure I didn't destroy good stuff :)
[14:18] <Moppa> soundray - yes
[14:18] <Nihilist_Nerd> Can anyone reommenda kernel module for this graphics card; http://pastebin.ca/95a8106 - thanks in advance.
[14:19] <soundray> Moppa: I don't know, if it was my system, I'd go down the /var/lib/mysql directory backup route
[14:19] <peter__> well will it?
[14:19] <Moppa> yeah. i will do that
[14:19] <soundray> Fenix|work: why don't you make a list first, then check that list, then run the rm command on the list?
[14:19] <mysticalone> Grub isn't seeing my other disks
[14:19] <captainm> peter__, that'll work just fine
[14:19] <dgjones> Nihilist_Nerd, that pastebin comes up page not found
[14:19] <Fenix|work> I am testing without the rm :)
[14:20] <peter__> will it run games like urban terror okay? and bzflag?
[14:20] <peter__> I only need okay, not brilliant
[14:20] <vulcar_> I am trying to install the latest wine available and I receive the following message: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables; It lets me install the newest binary package via "sudo apt-get install wine" but I need the latest version. Any reason why my c compiler isnt making the exe's?
[14:20] <Fenix|work> soundray, strangely enough, I have two folders 2007 and 2008 ... with -mtime +27 I don't see anything in the 2007 folder
[14:20] <soundray> Fenix|work: also look into xargs -- it enables you to pile multiple files into a single rm call
[14:20] <Aquahallic> folks.. is there a way to fix grub and initramfs if you can't boot into any kernel?
[14:20] <dannyboylawless> to circumvent my error 18 I should just reinstall ubuntu on a small partition at the beggining of the disk?
[14:21] <jrib> vulcar_: why not just use winehq repositories?
[14:21] <soundray> Fenix|work: remember that cp updates the mtimestamp, unless you tell it not to
[14:21] <Blackthorn> When I start my system one of the first items that shows is "acpi: unable to load ... tables" is this something that I should be concerned about?
[14:21] <captainm> dannyboylawless, no only the /boot folder on a seperate partition
[14:21] <vulcar_> jrib, you mean add the key and the wget statement?
[14:21] <Fenix|work> soundray, hmm ... any way to search for the create date, as opposed to the modified date?
[14:22] <soundray> Blackthorn: not unless you have other problems
[14:22] <jrib> vulcar_: that could mean anything, can you be more specific?
[14:22] <vallhalla81> whats the best way to reformat a slave drive? please can some one advise
[14:22] <dannyboylawless> captainm, is there a howto on doing this?
[14:22] <Darkside_> whoops...

[14:22] <vulcar_> jrib, i think i found the repository info on winehq. I will chat back if it didnt work, thanks
[14:23] <jrib> vulcar_: k
[14:23] <soundray> Fenix|work: I don't think so
[14:23] <vallhalla81> [Hardy]TuTUXG: thank you
[14:23] <dannyboylawless> thanks, im not even sure how to ask the right questions
[14:23] <Blackthorn> what is acpi btw? is that part of the power saving modes?
[14:23] <vulcar_> jrib, quick ? how do i add a line to my repository? go to update manager and add it that way or do i do it command line?
[14:24] <soundray> Blackthorn: it's more than that -- Wikipedia has a good article
[14:24] <Nihilist_Nerd> Can anyone reommenda kernel module for this graphics card; http://pastebin.ca/958119 - thanks in advance.
[14:24] <jrib> vulcar_: either way works, the winehq instructions give you command line.  But only do one or the other (choose command line way or gui way)
[14:24] <peter_bz> will http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1131325182.1206540990@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccekadedjieiikgcflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=833707&category_oid= run games like urban terror okay? and bzflag

[14:26] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> peter_bz, this is ubuntu support channel, not hardware support channel, i dont think u can get a good answer
[14:26] <FlyingSquirrel32> How can I fix this?
[14:26] <sith-lord> Hi
[14:26] <sith-lord> secret
[14:26] <helpfromu> hi
[14:26] <vulcar_> jrib, got it, thanks. I tried to add via gui but it wouldn't accept the command so i did it terminal.
[14:27] <helpfromu> what is that command in terminal using ssh command to copy a file from that remote ssh server site?
[14:27] <soundray> helpfromu: scp
[14:27] <jrib> vulcar_: in the gui, you would only add the repository, "deb blah blah"
[14:27] <jrib> helpfromu: scp
[14:27] <helpfromu> ok
[14:27] <Blackthorn> ok good info about the acpi on wikipedia.. now since this is a dedicated server that will be handling constant voip traffic... should i enable or leave disabled the acpi in bios?
[14:27] <helpfromu> man scp
[14:27] <FightSurf_George> Hi everyone. Please, how is serial port's name that bluetooth device connects in my ubuntu?
[14:27] <Blackthorn> i don't really want the machine to ever "sleep"
[14:28] <jrib> helpfromu: examples: scp jrib@remotehost:/some/remote/path /some/local/path   OR   scp /some/local/path jrib@remotehost:/some/remote/path
[14:29] <soundray> Blackthorn: good, then you won't have to deal with ACPI implementation quirks in your hardware
[14:29] <helpfromu> ok
[14:29] <helpfromu> jrib: that will copy a file from remotehost to the local path right?
[14:29] <Blackthorn> soundray: thank you, yove been very helpfull!
[14:30] <jrib> helpfromu: the first example (before "OR") is remote to local, the second one is local to remote
[14:30] <soundray> Blackthorn: leave ACPI on to enable CPU frequency scaling, fan control etc.
[14:30] <peter_bz> should I feel like a newb using ubuntu?
[14:31] <helpfromu> ok
[14:31] <helpfromu> thanks
[14:31] <captainm> dannyboylawless, can seem to find anything right now but i'm sure there's a howto out there. otherwise upgrading your bios could also be an option .
[14:31] <helpfromu> ill try that now
[14:31] <captainm> DannyG, *can't seem to find
[14:31] <soundray> peter_bz: you need advice on how to feel? :)

[14:32] <SpaceBass> I'm trying to conect via cygwin to my 7.10 server box and forward the X session ... I keep getting "display not found", I have confirmed that xauth is installed
[14:32] <dannyboylawless> captainm, thanks for the effort i'll probably try that  seems like an easier workaround
[14:32] <soundray> peter_bz: what, the distribution or this channel?

[14:39] <numus> if i hold the delete key for to long my laptop starts playing a sound.. but i have the speakers off.. any idea?
[14:39] <peter_bz> yeah
[14:39] <peter_bz> the system beep
[14:40] <peter_bz> it's in the actual computer
[14:40] <peter_bz> not speakers
[14:40] <jake2point0> good morning.  is there a program that defrags linux.  does it need defragged sometimes?
[14:40] <numus> peter_bz anyway to remove it
[14:40] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> jake2point0, no
[14:40] <unop_> jake2point0, not recessary
[14:40] <soundray> numus: System-Preferences-Sound-System Beep
[14:40] <jake2point0> even if i just hit the reset button when linux hoses up?
[14:40] <peter_bz> yep, a screw driver and some clippers
[14:40] <dgjones> !defrag | jake2point0
[14:40] <ubotu> jake2point0: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[14:40] <unop_> jake2point0, to answer your first question -- there is a defrag utility (from the defrag package) ..
[14:41] <peter_bz> but don't remove it
[14:41] <numus> soundray awesome thanks..
[14:41] <jake2point0> ok
[14:41] <peter_bz> if you don't know what it is then you shouldn't be opening your computer
[14:42] <jake2point0> i have a problem running linux when my bios has APCI enabled.  I run windows xp too on another HDD.  Should I turn it off and on depending on what OS im running?
[14:42] <LiveuseR> hi to the room

[14:42] <soundray> jake2point0: you can turn ACPI off via a kernel option

[14:42] <ubotu> jake2point0: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[14:43] <soundray> jake2point0: rather than 'acpi=off', try 'pci=noacpi' first
[14:44] <soundray> jake2point0: do you know about Magic Sysrq sequences to safely reboot an unresponsive system?
[14:44] <bazhang> LiveuseR: please specify the nature of your issue
[14:45] <jake2point0> its easier to just go into bios and turn it off and on than typing a whole line of code into my grub boot loader every time.
[14:46] <grrrreg> Hi there
[14:46] <dESAASEd> when i play music the sound is not 100% quality, in windows there is 100% anyone know the problem?

[15:01] <funalien> ok, thanks
[15:01] <bullgard4> funalien: Hm. Excuse me. You are right. I made a mistake.
[15:01] <LjL> funalien: there is a way to restart the kernel without going through the BIOS, although it might be still experimental (not sure), and i don't know if it's enabled in the Ubuntu kernel, and i don't remember how to activate it anyway.
[15:01] <soundray> jake2point0: when you've made that change, run 'sudo update-grub' to activate it

[15:04] <noodlesgc> is there an IRC channel for medical support?
[15:04] <jake2point0> soundray i dont understand what i need to do to line 66
[15:04] <Piero_Scaruffi> can somebody help me please
[15:04] <LiveuseR> bazhang: any other ideas(if there are any)?
[15:05] <LjL> !channels | noodlesgc

[15:05] <bazhang> ask away Piero_Scaruffi if someone knows they will help
[15:05] <soundray> jake2point0: just look at what I did to line 66 here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61128/
[15:05] <bazhang> LiveuseR: error 17 means you need to fix things as outlined in that link
[15:05] <Piero_Scaruffi> i tried to play a game via wine that was supported but it wouldnt start and i looked under hardware drivers and my ati driver isnt enabled should i enable it for 3D games?
[15:06] <jake2point0> soundray if its commented wouldnt it skip that line?
[15:06] <Blackthorn> is there a log that shows you what happend as you booted up? the information that flashes across the screen on bootup?
[15:06] <soundray> jake2point0: grub will, but update-grub won't
[15:06] <Scunizi> Piero_Scaruffi, you'll need to
[15:06] <Starnestommy> Blackthorn: d,esg?
[15:06] <jake2point0> soundray ok cool .. learned something new again
[15:06] <Starnestommy> er, dmesg
[15:07] <soundray> jake2point0: the point of leaving it to update-grub to put it in the kernel line is that the change will survive your next kernel update.
[15:09] <Moppa^> soundray - i have searched, and searched but can't find any article regarding backing up mysql by not using an .sql-file
[15:10] <clarezoe> anyone knows where to took at the out put histories from terminal, something like a log file?
[15:10] <jrib> clarezoe: one does not exist
[15:10] <Blackthorn> well.. i have a service that needs to start on boot. I have a text file in /etc/init.d that should call upon this service to start but it dosn't. this file is copied from my other server.
[15:10] <Scunizi> clarezoe, /var/log maybe?
[15:10] <jrib> Blackthorn: read 'man update-rc.d'
[15:12] <clarezoe> Scunizi, I've tried /var/log but I don't know which one. I just installed texlive2007 from a iso CD image, I missed some important information after the installation, I don't know where to find it again
[15:12] <soundray> Moppa^: looking...
[15:12] <Moppa^> soundray - thanks
[15:12] <bazhang> clarezoe: what is texlive2007
[15:12] <K4k-laptop> I'm trying to get my webcam to work, I installed camorama and it worked, but the color hue was way off and it wouldn't correct itself, then I decided to install v4l-conf to see if it might be a driver problem, but that made /dev/video0 disappear, can anyone help me out?
[15:13] <clarezoe> bazhang, it's a tex package
[15:13] <bazhang> http://www.tug.org/texlive/ clarezoe got it thanks ;]
[15:14] <clarezoe> bazhang, exactly
[15:14] <jrib> clarezoe: texlive is in ubuntu's repositories, you shouldn't be installing it from other sources
[15:15] <Blackthorn> ahh i think i found my issue. it was calilng for //user/sbin/ instead of /usr/sbin/moduel_name. typo :P
[15:16] <clarezoe> jrib, I've tried to install it from the repositories, but many errors ocurred, so I look it up in the tex official document to install myself
[15:16] <soundray> Moppa: I can't find it any more. It's probably worth joining #mysql and asking there
[15:16] <jrib> clarezoe: you should tell this channel the errors you received when you tried to install it from the repositories
[15:16] <zedster_> I know I've seen how to online but I can't find it, how do I flash the bios from linux on a dell D830 laptop?
[15:17] <Moppa> soundray - ok, thanks
[15:18] <jake2point0_>                                                                                vvvv
[15:19] <LiveuseR> bazhang: ok..but there's one more problem... is there any way to write a very small file(500 kb) to a cd-rw through live user session??
[15:19] <clarezoe> jrib, I just updated to hardy, and asked in the ubuntu+1 channel, but didn't get any solution, and also asked in ubuntu-cn, someone suggested me to use the iso image. that's it
[15:19] <jake2point0_> when my computer screensaver kicks in after a few minutes, i try and move my mouse to make it stop and the screen freezes but my mouse pointer is still moving.  how do i regain my desktop when my screensaver hoses
[15:20] <zedster_> jake2point0_: I forget can you alt-ctrl to one of the text terminals from screen saver?
[15:20] <zedster_> if so just sudo killall and kill the screen saver
[15:21] <jake2point0_> zedster well i did a ctrl alt delete and no terminal came up
[15:21] <artfullylost> So, I got the codecs for the files, but my audio still isn't working. Any ideas?
[15:21] <clarezoe> jrib, another thing is that, I can install it without any errors early today, but I can't get correct output as I want, maybe I should ask it in a latex or tex channel if there is one
[15:21] <zedster_> jake2point0_: its ctrl-alt-f1
[15:21] <zedster_> jake2point0_: well actually f1-f6
[15:22] <Scunizi> jake2point0_, ctrl+alt+f2
[15:22] <zedster_> anyone flash the bios on a Dx30 laptop?

[15:29] <zedster_> LiveuseR: I have done it before, I assume your on the target computer, you can fix grub from live disk

[15:30] <artfullylost> I tried everything on the troubleshooting sound bit, and none of it works.

[15:31] <zedster_> LiveuseR: in the live disk go to terminal and type grub
[15:31] <artfullylost> zedster_ : None of the system sounds are working, I believe.
[15:31] <noodlesgc> numus yes

[15:34] <busan> ?
[15:34] <LiveuseR> zedster_:...huh i cannot run terminal(dont know why),maybe i have to reboot again to live session but you could give the instructions to try it...
[15:34] <artfullylost> Come to think of it, it didn't work off of the live cd either. There's probably a driver then, right?
[15:34] <user_ubuntu> I don't have a full overview about this channel, so lease join #starterbar. So it is more private and the overview is easier.

[15:37] <My_nics_ghosted> user_ubuntu, the overview  is "this is a dedicated help channel" for ubuntu. If your questions are not directly related to ubuntu issues then perhaps a separate channel is warranted or maybe you need to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic

[15:37] <levander> I've got security updates set to be auto-instealled nightly.  But, the little icon in the task bar keeps saying there are updates available.  Are there updates that aren't considered security updates which you have to do manually to get?
[15:37] <zedster_> LiveuseR: try alt-crtl f1
[15:37] <levander> Is that what the deal is?
[15:37] <ZeroNeg> zedster_, ok...just realized i didn't have subversion installed...since i tried that.  thanks.
[15:37] <Stwange> ah sorry erUSUL, I didn't realise there was already a SequIM.zip in that dir

[16:18] <pat5star> bod_: np
[16:18] <IndyGunFreak> peter77: ok, easy way to do it... open a terminal, gksudo nautilus, nautilus will open with root privliges, then navigate to the folder you want to change, right click, properties, and change its permissions.
[16:18] <heymr> sayap_ikarus: wut...?
[16:18] <bazhang> abcnight: no PM's please; I asked politely once already
[16:18] <heymr> oo burn
[16:18] <user_ubuntu> its about chaining the complete look
[16:18] <dnyy> hahaha
[16:18] <vallhalla81> i cant find the right comand it just comes up with does not exist
[16:18] <peter77> IndyGunFreak, already tried that, when I click the "apply to all files" nothing happens to files that already exist
[16:18] <bod_> hey bazhang  ;~)
[16:18] <vallhalla81> bod_:  i cant find the right comand it just comes up with does not exist
[16:18] <bazhang> user_ubuntu: did you read that link? they specify not to add firefox to it but to the main ubuntu panel
[16:19] <bod_> vallhalla81, ok, well ask the channel how to manually mount a drive
[16:19] <bazhang> bod_: hi!
[16:19] <My_nics_ghosted> IndyGunFreak, peter77 that will change the permissions of the top folder but not necessarily the folder beneith it.
[16:19] <IndyGunFreak> My_nics_ghosted: hm, i think i've had a different experience with that, checking now.
[16:19] <vallhalla81> bod_:  ok ty
[16:19] <bod_> peter77, chmod -R    will work
[16:19] <vallhalla81> can any one tell me how to manually mount a drive please?
[16:19] <peter77> so chmod -R /home/user
[16:19] <user_ubuntu> bazhang: i had to restart, can you give me the link again
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> peter77: it should, but i thought you said you tried that
[16:20] <My_nics_ghosted> IndyGunFreak, peter77 .. what bod_  said is easier and more complete
[16:20] <bod_> peter77, not quite   sudo chmod -R 777 /home/user/this_folder/*
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> My_nics_ghosted: indeed, but i don't know about easier.
[16:20] <bazhang> http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-redesign-your-desktop-the-wow-way/2008/01/10 user_ubuntu
[16:21] <bod_> My_nics_ghosted, i wonder why people ask for gui ways sometimes when a cli way is ten times easier and faster ;~)
[16:21] <numus> ANyone know how to install propritary ati drivers instead of the fglrx driver
[16:22] <erUSUL> numus: propritary ati drivers is the same as the fglrx driver
[16:22] <user_ubuntu> bazhang: thx
[16:23] <numus> erUSUL catalyst 8.03 is what i need.. i am on hardy and i have a screen refresh flicker in applications such as google earth with fglrx
[16:23] <user_ubuntu> bazhang: what's ciro dock?
[16:23] <erUSUL> |hardy | numus
[16:23] <peter77> bod_ im confused how to get chmod-R 777 to allow a certain user read/write access to all files/folders contained in a directory?
[16:23] <erUSUL> !hardy | numus
[16:23] <ubotu> numus: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[16:24] <numus> erUSUL it did the same thing in 7.10 and using catalyst 8.03 helped.. i lost my guide to install it
[16:24] <bod_> peter77, read the man page   man chmod
[16:24] <erUSUL> numus: if you want a more recent version than the one provided you have to manually install it yourself
[16:24] <bazhang> https://developer.berlios.de/projects/cairo-dock/ from the link on that page user_ubuntu
[16:24] <pat5star> peter77: that allows anyone read write access, if you want just one user to be able to, you will have to consider making him a part of the group that owns those files
[16:25] <ethan961> I dodn'y know cairo-dock was still kicking around
[16:25] <ethan961> *didn't
[16:25] <ola1> hello, Im completely new to linux and Ubuntu
[16:25] <busan> what is the best

[16:26] <IndyGunFreak> ola1: just ask your questions, if we can answer, we will
[16:26] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 busan
[16:26] <pat5star> !ask
[16:26] <dgjones> !hardy > busan
[16:26] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[16:26] <ola1> Ive just started using ubuntu, but sometimes gnome disappears
[16:26] <ola1> and a black screen emerges, telling me my battery life
[16:27] <busan> Any master on this room?

[16:27] <ubotu> ola1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:27] <ola1> and several other things are [OK]
[16:27] <ola1> sorry
[16:27] <JonaTh> ola1: U using gutsy?
[16:27] <busan> alpha1,2,3,4? or beta?

[16:28] <JonaTh> soundray: Whatever ;)
[16:28] <soundray> ola1: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[16:28] <bazhang> busan please join #ubuntu+1
[16:28] <ola1> my music continues playing in the background
[16:28] <ola1> ok
[16:28] <pat5star> soundray: you're kidding right? there is grammar police on these irc channels? :)
[16:28] <busan> ok thanks
[16:29] <pat5star> oops, better correct myself, I mean: there are!
[16:29] <soundray> pat5star: no, there isn't. There is only advice for those who want to be taken seriously, like the bot says.
[16:29] <atcla_ubuntu> im trying to config "conky" i go    vi home/user/.conkryc   |  how do i erease all the text
[16:29] <pat5star> soundray: just never seen that before
[16:29] <sipior> as opposed to the tediously pedantic, who are always taken terribly seriously
[16:29] <JonaTh> atcla_ubuntu: Tried sudo?
[16:29] <danhs> My_nics_ghosted: I posted a bug report for issue....https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/207194
[16:30] <beex> has anybody tried hacking the file search in nautilus?
[16:30] <atcla_ubuntu> sudo home/user/.conkryc ?
[16:30] <atcla_ubuntu> JonaTh,  im newb
[16:30] <soundray> pat5star: and "police" can be both plural and singular, as far as I know ;)
[16:30] <JonaTh> sudo vi ~/.conkryc
[16:30] <JonaTh> ?
[16:31] <atcla_ubuntu> JonaTh,  now im in vi editor; how do i exit ?
[16:31] <beex> atcla_ubuntu, you shouldn't need to be root to edit the file
[16:31] <pat5star> soundray: lol...not trying to start anything, was just curious. I would think that with so many people where english isn't their first language, this would not be an issue here so long as they get their point across
[16:31] <beex> atcla_ubuntu, :q
[16:32] <HoboBen> atcla_ubuntu - hit Escape to get back to command mode from insert mode, and type :q!

[16:32] <pat5star> soundray: but I understand you :)
[16:32] <beex> atcla_ubuntu, http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html might help

[16:40] <abcnight> IF i delete the fonts by mistake ，how can i restore from the ubuntu cd live
[16:41] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu all you have to do is drag and drop an item onto it for it to be added
[16:41] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: when I try this nothing happens
[16:41] <bod_> peter77, yes, but im on the phone atm,.,. ask the channel plz ;~)
[16:42] <peter77> k np
[16:42] <Noname> i can't figure out the command i should use
[16:42] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu thats odd, what version of gdesklets do you have?
[16:42] <DRebellion> peter77, chmod -r directory/
[16:42] <DRebellion> peter77, chown that is
[16:42] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: there is one questionmark which jumps around if the courser is over it
[16:42] <Noname> chmod +x ETQW-client-1.1.r8.x86.runchmod: cannot access `ETQW-client-1.1.r8.x86.run': No such file or directory
[16:42] <user_ubuntu> 0.35
[16:42] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: 0.35
[16:42] <tico> rblst: is there a way to do it with the command prompt?
[16:42] <DRebellion> Noname, are you in the same directory as the file?
[16:43] <Noname> yeah its my desktop
[16:43] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: 0.35.3
[16:43] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu what item are you trying to add to the bar?
[16:43] <dark1> lol jpatrick
[16:43] <peter77> DRebellion, ok so say I wanted to change the owner to user and set read, write and execute permisions to user, how would I do that?
[16:43] <user_ubuntu> firefox
[16:43] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: noodlesgc
[16:43] <dark1> I'm a TOTAL vim newb - I like it but I'm not so hot on using it
[16:43] <DRebellion> Noname, so you opened a terminal and type:  chmod +x Desktop/ETQW-client.......
[16:43] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: firefox
[16:43] <Noname> chmod +x ETQW-client-1.1.r8.x86.runchmod: cannot access `ETQW-client-1.1.r8.x86.run': No such file or directory
[16:43] <rblst> tico: sure there is, but i never used it, sorry
[16:44] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu heres what to do, find firefox in your main menu, right click it and press "add this to desktop"
[16:45] <DRebellion> peter77, chown -R user:user directory/ && chmod -R o+r,o+w,o+x d directory/
[16:45] <user_ubuntu> in my main menu, on the taskbar?
[16:45] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu yes
[16:45] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: s.o.
[16:45] <user_ubuntu> found
[16:45] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: found
[16:45] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu did you add it to desktop?
[16:45] <user_ubuntu> y
[16:46] <Noname> i tried right clicking on the .run and making it exe as a prog but that didn't work
[16:46] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu once you have it on the desktop, when you drag and drop it, it  will work
[16:46] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: no
[16:46] <vallhalla81> bod: i found the commands if you want them
[16:46] <syntaxerror55> I put a lot of fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype, but I can't use them. I even restarted my machine. How do I update the fonts cache?
[16:47] <salmanh_> this is a bit off-topic: has anyone installed mythtv on a nslu2 from linksys?
[16:47] <rblst> tico: try this: metacity --replace
[16:47] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: any other idea
[16:48] <peter77> DRebellion: thanks that worked great :-)
[16:48] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu no. I dont know why its not working
[16:48] <bazhang> salmanh_: there is nice channel for that #ubuntu-mythtv
[16:48] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: the desklet "rythmlet" doesn't work, too. sensor missing.
[16:48] <salmanh_> bazhang, thanks, i found it...
[16:49] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu. wait, i know how to add firefox to the starterbar
[16:49] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu right click on the starterbar and click "new starter..."
[16:49] <co0lingFir3> hi! i'm not able to add adblock plus-filters via right-click on an image. someone there to help me?
[16:50] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: k
[16:50] <DRebellion> co0lingFir3, perhaps #firefox would be a more relevant channel...
[16:50] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu is there a question mark icon?
[16:50] <bazhang> co0lingFir3: firefox2 or 3?
[16:50] <Xman> can anyone tell me what does the statement "struct stat buf;" mean????
[16:50] <user_ubuntu> yes
[16:50] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: yes
[16:51] <DRebellion> co0lingFir3, best results on irc.mozilla.org
[16:51] <tico> rblst ok i'll try that
[16:51] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu ok right click it and press "edit starter..."
[16:51] <user_ubuntu> k
[16:51] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: k
[16:51] <DRebellion> Xman, its a struct of type stat called buf
[16:51] <co0lingFir3> DRebellion, thx
[16:51] <Xman> !pastebin
[16:51] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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 channel topic)
[16:51] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu in the name type "Firefox Web Browser"
[16:51] <co0lingFir3> bazhang: ff3.04b
[16:51] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: i did
[16:52] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu now in the command type 'firefox'
[16:52] <bazhang> many plugins dont work in the hardy version now co0lingFir3
[16:52] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: ok
[16:52] <MrBojangles> Hey everyone. I just installed Ubuntu 8.4 BETA.. it's suppose to have virtulization built into it.
[16:52] <MrBojangles> How do I get started?
[16:52] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 please MrBojangles
[16:52] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu ok now there should be a big button on the left
[16:53] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: it works, but there isn't the firefox icon
[16:53] <bazhang> heh
[16:53] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu yes in the edit menu you have to set one
[16:53] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: how can i add other applications
[16:54] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: the icon is set, but it isn't show
[16:54] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu are you sure you set it to the right icon?
[16:55] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: yes
[16:55] <Xman> DRebellion: what does this statement doing "if(stat(argv[i],&buf)<0)"??
[16:55] <numus> i am getting an error dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
[16:55] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: there are only questionmarks
[16:56] <mrpockets> hey guys
[16:56] <DRebellion> Xman, looks like stat is a function... argv[i] is a reference to a command line argument, &buf is the address of the variable buf
[16:56] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: how can I add other applications
[16:56] <mrpockets> i'm looking for a program similar to Nero, that'll let me make menues and shit for a DVD and add .avi files to burn
[16:57] <DRebellion> Xman, argv[i] and buf are arguments to the function stat, which will likely return an int
[16:57] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu try dragging and dropping, if that does not work, youll have to create them the same way you created the firefox launcher
[16:57] <DRebellion> Xman, if the int is less than 0, the commands inside the if {} will be exectued
[16:57] <Noname> ok i was not in the right dir now i am and when i do the command it does nothing no error
[16:58] <Lamego> mrpockets, try mandvd
[16:58] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: but i don't know the command to create the other applications
[16:58] <mrpockets> thanks homes
[16:58] <DRebellion> Noname, when you chmod it? that's normal. silence is good xD
[16:59] <Xman> DRebellion: i have a small program on file access permission and i wanna understand that can help me if i pastebin it??
[16:59] <DRebellion> Xman, perhaps, but my C is a bit rusty
[16:59] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu what you can do is find the application you want in the main menu, right click it and add it to desktop, then right click it and press properties, then click the "launcher" tab and see what the command is
[17:00] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: ok i try
[17:00] <zedster_> anyone flash the bios from ubuntu on newer latitude?
[17:00] <amenado> Xman  stat  usually are used to find out if the file exist..or maybe that was fstat..
[17:00] <Noname> so what do i do next i chmoded it and got silence so whats next i was trying to follow this guide http://www.linuxgameguru.com/action/enemy-territory-quake-wars/installation
[17:00] <Xman> DRebellion: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61135/
[17:00] <DRebellion> Noname, ./nameofprogram
[17:01] <co0lingFir3> bazhang: so this adblock issue is ubuntu's and not firefox's fault?
[17:01] <MetaMorfoziS> !ati
[17:01] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[17:02] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: could the sensor be broken?
[17:02] <hwilde> Xman, what's wrong with the program?  it looks like its working
[17:02] <Noname> i'm in thanks
[17:02] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu it could be
[17:02] <Xman> hwilde: yes its working but i wanna understand its working that how its working man
[17:03] <DRebellion> Xman, you wrote this?
[17:03] <AaronShaf> How do I change the default sftp login directory?
[17:03] <hwilde> Xman, so umm what is your question
[17:03] <hwilde> AaronShaf, sftp config file
[17:03] <dannyboylawless> i have a favor to ask of someone.  I am trying to run the latest version of ubuntu but i get a grub error 18 (http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB).  There are two ways around this.  Update bios (sony tells me this 8 year old machine has no new bios, but i can't prove them wrong) or partition the install in such a way that the kernal is on a small partition...  I don't know how to do this.
[17:03] <naitmer> hi there
[17:03] <Xman> DRebellion: no its my brother's program?
[17:04] <naitmer> i had a problem with my friend's ubuntu
[17:04] <bazhang> co0lingFir3: not sure about that; though it is an #ubuntu+1 issue ;]
[17:04] <Xman> DRebellion: and i have to explain it in VIVA?
[17:04] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: now it works with drag and drop
[17:04] <DRebellion> Xman, just noticed some errors :P
[17:04] <naitmer> the wifi option suddenly dissapeared from the network options
[17:04] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: but it doesn't show icons
[17:04] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu excellent
[17:04] <AaronShaf> hwidle, thanks, but where is the sftp config file?
[17:04] <Xman> DRebellion: errors!!!
[17:04] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: only questionmarks
[17:04] <hwilde> AaronShaf, which ftp server are you running?
[17:05] <AaronShaf> hwilde, sftp doesn't use an ftp server, it uses ssh
[17:05] <jimcooncat> dannyboylawless: are you willing to do a fresh install?
[17:05] <dannyboylawless> definatly
[17:05] <ethan961> dannyboylawlwss, you can use gparted live cd to create a boot partition if you dont want to reinstall
[17:05] <hwilde> AaronShaf, then it will log into the user's home directory
[17:05] <Noname> don't u just love id software for their linux native games
[17:05] <deamoon> can any1 tell me y im geting this mesedge "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or device not found" but i got sound and im listening to mp3
[17:05] <Noname> ;)
[17:06] <abcnight> :)
[17:06] <Lamego> AaronShaf, sftp users home directory is the users home directory
[17:06] <dannyboylawless> ethan961, i don't mind doing a fresh install I just get confused on how to partition it correctly so my bios will like me
[17:06] <jimcooncat> dannyboylawless: use the partitioner during the intstall to give yourself a small /boot partition. 256 MB is more than enough.
[17:06] <ethan961> dannyboylawless:
[17:06] <ethan961> whoops
[17:06] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc:???
[17:07] <AaronShaf> thanks guys! super!
[17:07] <dannyboylawless> jimcooncat can i pm you?
[17:07] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu i dont know why the icons are not working
[17:07] <DRebellion> Xman, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61137/
[17:07] <ethan961> dannyboylawless: , I had the same problem. creating a /boot partition at install is easiest, although it can be done the other way
[17:07] <jimcooncat> dannyboylawless: sure, not sure what else I can help with though
[17:07] <eitreach> any idea why neither 7.10 or 8.04 will boot into graphics mode with a fujitsu siemens amilo?
[17:07] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc:  do you know something about rythmlet?
[17:07] <dannyboylawless> just gonna get to the partition section of install then ask
[17:07] <dannyboylawless> ill ask here
[17:08] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu no, ive never used it before
[17:08] <user_ubuntu> noodlesgc: what your gdesklet version?
[17:08] <Tenebrys> Hey, I'm having some issues with my laptop computer... it's pretty dumb and I brought it upon myself but, wanted to see if I can get any advice on digging myself out.
[17:08] <bidossessi> hi folks
[17:08] <user_ubuntu> hi
[17:08] <DRebellion> Tenebrys, fire away
[17:09] <noodlesgc> user_ubuntu 0.35.3
[17:09] <Tenebrys> Goes like this.  Laptop's got 2 hard-drives, I partitioned one out and stuck Ubuntu on it.
[17:09] <bidossessi> is there a linux equivalent of britannica/encarta? a friends needs an offline encylopedia
[17:09] <tbrx> network-admin will no longer find wireless :S Just stopped working :S
[17:09] <Tenebrys> Due mainly to hardware incompatibility, I stopped using Ubuntu, switched back to just using the Vista install on the first hard-drive.
[17:09] <dannyboylawless> Just download wikipedia
[17:09] <tbrx> All I did was stop gdm, and start it little later
[17:10] <mynyml> bidossessi: you can download wikipedia. really, its not that big.
[17:10] <Tenebrys> Now then, here's the dumb part.  Rather than do a proper uninstall, I just reformatted the Ubuntu HD, with the predictable result of grub (wherever it's installed) locking me out.
[17:10] <DRebellion> bidossessi, you could download wikipedia
[17:10] <bidossessi> download wikipedia| that would be nice, but i can't find a french version of it, and the firend is french
[17:10] <Svish> how can I convert "60°09′59″N 10°15′24″E" into decimal numbers I can use to add a location in the clock preferences? (Ubuntu 8.04 beta)
[17:10] <dark1> you can actually download wikipedia?!?
[17:10] <dannyboylawless> wait can you really download wikipedia???
[17:10] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 Svish
[17:11] <Yanch0> 30 3 * * * /home/yancho/dbbackup.sh > /home/yancho/cronoutput.txt <- Am I right in saying that dbbackup.sh will run every day @ 3.30 am and the outputs (echos) it produces are *added at the end* of cronoutput.txt ?
[17:11] <dark1> lol dannyboy
[17:11] <Svish> ubuntu+1?
[17:11] <Svish> is that a channel?
[17:11] <bazhang> aye
[17:11] <Tenebrys> So when I start my computer now, grub tries to start, throws error17 at me.

[17:11] <azka> hi
[17:11] <dark1> c'mon - that's gotta be frickin' YAUGE!
[17:11] <soundray> Tenebrys: you need to put the Windows boot loader into the system's MBR. Best to ask in ##windows how to do that.
[17:11] <DRebellion> dark1, dannyboylawless, couple of gigs
[17:11] <Svish> cool, thanks :)
[17:12] <dark1> no way!
[17:12] <dark1> that all?
[17:12] <hwilde> DRebellion, dannyboylawless, dark1, any offline encyclopedia is going to be huge.  wikipedia is not excessive tho relatively...
[17:12] <tbrx> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
[17:12] <DRebellion> !offtopic
[17:12] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[17:12] <bazhang> that is funny
[17:12] <Tenebrys> Ahhhhh, alright.
[17:12] <azka> i use to use alt+click to move my windows under ubuntu, and i'd really like to know if it's possible to act the same way under windows XP, eventually using an external program. This feature is so usefull, and google really doesn't helped me
[17:12] <tbrx> DVD distributions of wikipedia :O
[17:12] <DRebellion> azka, #windows
[17:13] <Tenebrys> That would work then... I have an ubuntu liveCD, just gotta figure out how to futz with MBRs with it, something I haven't done before.
[17:13] <dark1> damn... I could just delete some porn and replace it with wiki
[17:13] <dark1> ...
[17:13] <Xman> DRebellion: how the "buf" is being used in the function stat?? I mean what it is doing in stat function?
[17:13] <dark1> ...naaaah....
[17:13] <dark1> lol
[17:13] <sp> Tenebrys: what you need to do in order to get rid of grub is restoring the original MBR
[17:13] <Lamego> Xman, you should look for a C language channel
[17:13] <lusepuster> Hi folks. It seems I have shomehov turned my system notifications off. Is there a way to turn it back on by default?
[17:13] <sp> Tenebrys: you should be able to do that with the other OS installed somehow
[17:14] <DRebellion> Xman, the buf is the place where the stat function puts the info about the file. then, later in the code, printf is used to print the members of the buf struct
[17:14] <Tenebrys> hmm.  Problem is, I can't even get into the other OS.
[17:14] <amenado> Xman stat fills the structure buf
[17:14] <spsneo> has anybody used taverna on ubuntu?
[17:14] <hwilde> !fixmbr | Tenebrys
[17:14] <ubotu> Tenebrys: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[17:14] <Tenebrys> ...ah snap.  It'll take a CD, but would a grubconfig?
[17:14] <DRebellion> Xman, the members being, in this case, pieces of info about the file
[17:14] <spsneo> how to instal taverna on ubuntu
[17:14] <Tenebrys> *would a grub config let me back in
[17:14] <Xman> DRebellion: ok got it man totally
[17:14] <robotic> Is there any security issue in running a Windows virtual machine inside Ubuntu?
[17:14] <Xman> DRebellion: thanks, thanks a lot
[17:14] <dark1> have a good day all
[17:15] <dannyboylawless> do i need more than one swap partition?
[17:15] <spsneo> hello can anybosy help me about taverna on ubuntu
[17:15] <DRebellion> Xman, ;)
[17:15] <cccharles> spsneo: patience
[17:15] <Xman> DRebellion: :)
[17:15] <sp> robotic: define security issue...
[17:15] <Xman> amenado: thank to you too.:)
[17:15] <Lamego> robotic, well, nothing special, the same issues that would apply to a real windows install
[17:16] <robotic> sp: I don't want the windows machine to be compromised and have access to my host machine
[17:16] <Yuchant> what determines the color of files in bash? What piece of the file holds info like that?
[17:16] <soundray> Tenebrys: the Ubuntu CD will only help if you put Ubuntu back on the machine. For what you want to do, you will need a Windows boot CD
[17:17] <soundray> dannyboylawless: no
[17:17] <Tenebrys> Ahhh, alright.
[17:17] <DRebellion> Yuchant, colour? you mean from ls? its set in a variable in your ~/.bashrc
[17:17] <sp> robotic: escaping a virtual machine should not be possible, however, a bug in the virtualization software of your choice could offer an attacker such an opportunity (in theory at least)
[17:17] <Tenebrys> Asking again... what about a grub configure CD?  I remember using one of those in the past... would it directly manipulate the MBR?
[17:17] <Yuchant> DRebellion, i mean the file itself though. I have a particular html file and a particular .py file that is always set in a different color from the rest
[17:18] <sp> Tenebrys: yes, but it would not be able to restore your Windows MBR, use Windows or a Windows recovery disk for that
[17:18] <robotic> sp: I'm wondering if picking a Bridged vs NAT network connection would offer any additional safety to the host Ubuntu machine
[17:18] <keithclark>  I am trying to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 beta, and I get to the Update Manager, New distribution is available, I select that, then a warning message comes up.  I acknowledge this and then nothing happens?  What am I missing?
[17:18] <jimcooncat> spsneo: looks like you download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/taverna/taverna-workbench-1.7.0.zip?modtime=1198001345&big_mirror=0&filesize=1442978 ...
[17:18] <NemesisD> anyone know how to get firefox NOT to use the system's default text color/background color? I installed a dark theme and firefox has made that the default background color if no value is set (rather than white)
[17:18] <sp> Tenebrys: what you are talking about is more a windows issue than an Ubuntu one, google for Windows broken MBR...
[17:18] <soundray> keithclark: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[17:18] <jimcooncat> spsneo: ... then extract it, the run the .sh file
[17:18] <DRebellion> keithclark, #ubuntu+1
[17:19] <spsneo> ya i did that
[17:19] <spsneo> but i am behind a proxy server
[17:19] <jimcooncat> spsneo: probably "sudo sh runme.sh"
[17:19] <dannyboylawless> trying to make a small boot partition iat begining of disk.     use as: ?
[17:19] <Aleksander-pl> Hello. I want to buy a notebook in USA and I'm looking for someone who can show me best online stores and models with Linux installed, as I'm from Poland - can any of You help me?
[17:19] <spsneo> i edited the mygrid.properties file
[17:19] <spsneo> but still it says theres no net connection
[17:19] <jimcooncat> spsneo: sorry, I haven't tried it
[17:19] <robotic> sp, Lamego: Thanks; I found on the Ubuntu forums that NAT networking setup will mask the presence of the windows install to the outside
[17:20] <bazhang> system76.com Aleksander-pl but really offtopic here
[17:20] <Skiessi> why can't I move my mouse while pressing a key? is this some stupid accessibility feature?
[17:21] <robotic> Skiessi: sounds like something is wrong -- do you have a fresh ubuntu installation?
[17:21] <rr_lap> ello! How do i get my internel/system mail back to how it was when i installed ubuntu? using gutsy
[17:21] <Tenebrys> There we go.  Don't have an actual Vista disk, just a 2-part recovery CD, one part of which I'm missing.  But found a "recovery disk ISO" from a reputable site.
[17:22] <gligorhoria> hey guys do you have problems installing openoffice-core and openofiice-calc in ubuntu gutsy/.
[17:22] <Aleksander-pl> I know that Dell sells notebooks with Ubuntu, but they're about 400$ more expensive that these with Vista
[17:22] <bazhang> Skiessi: this is gutsy?
[17:22] <soundray> Aleksander-pl: that's not correct
[17:22] <dannyboylawless> im installing ubuntu and am at the partition part.  I need to create a small /boot partition at the begining... what settings do i need for it?
[17:22] <DRebellion> !info openoffice-core | gligorhoria
[17:22] <Aleksander-pl> soundray: so please correct me :)
[17:22] <gligorhoria> well yeah gutsy and anithing beafore that
[17:23] <lusepuster> Bump...  Hi folks. It seems I have shomehov turned my system notifications off. Is there a way to turn it back on by default?
[17:23] <Aleksander-pl> soundray: compare prices - Ubuntu notebooks are about 400$ more expensive that similar models with Vista
[17:23] <DRebellion> gligorhoria, openoffice-core does not exist
[17:23] <goppp_> !hardy
[17:24] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[17:24] <soundray> Aleksander-pl: Dell's Ubuntu and Windows laptops have slightly different hardware, so you can't compare them with precision, but they are roughly equally expensive
[17:24] <Lamego> Aleksander-pl, that is not true according to my readings, you are the one needing to do some better research
[17:24] <goppp_> soundray,  thier are other companies that sell ubuntu based laptops
[17:24] <goppp_> I google some
[17:24] <Lamego> such price difference could only be justified by hw differences
[17:24] <goppp_> and they are cheap
[17:24] <soundray> goppp_: no need to tell me
[17:24] <node357> there is no package named openoffice-core :|
[17:25] <soundray> !info openoffice.org-core | node357
[17:25] <goppp_> http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html
[17:25] <node357> lol nothing happened
[17:25] <Aleksander-pl> soundray, Lamego - so please show me notebook with parameters such as http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dndwmas&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&m_6=128NV84&mo=6~128NV84 - and similar price
[17:25] <dannyboylawless> trying to solve grub error 18, making partitions now, what settings do i need to get the partitions right?
[17:25] <Aleksander-pl> goppp_: thanks
[17:25] <goppp_> yw
[17:25] <Skiessi> robotic, bazbang no, hardy but I didn't get an answer around there first
[17:26] <node357> thanks soundray :)
[17:26] <gligorhoria> never mind i got my answer
[17:26] <gligorhoria> ...
[17:26] <bazhang> Skiessi: just need to be patient; they are very different creatures
[17:26] <madsporkmurderer> I have a large amount of CSV files that I want to import into OOo Calc, is there a wayu of doing it without importing each as a separate sheet then copy/pasting it into one sheet. If I could get it all into one CSV with the right separator between files I assume it would be easy from there...
[17:26] <Lamego> Aleksander-pl, with all respect, research yourself
[17:27] <cccharles> madsporkmurderer: you should be able to do "cat one.csv two.csv ... > complete.csv"
[17:27] <goppp_> Aleksander-pl,  http://system76.com/index.php?cPath=28&gclid=CMHRl4qmq5ICFQa0Hgod9iaPNA
[17:28] <Piero_Scaruffi> How can i determine if i have hardware 3D acceleration?
[17:28] <madsporkmurderer> cccharles, thanks- is there a way to pipe an ls otr something to the input to say all files in the current folder?
[17:28] <soundray> node357: ubotu doesn't seem to be responding to info requests atm. Anyway, the package is called openoffice.org-core
[17:28] <Piero_Scaruffi> all the compiz stuff work with effects does that mean that i have 3D support?
[17:28] <soundray> Piero_Scaruffi: yes
[17:28] <cccharles> madsporkmurderer: for all files "cat * > complete.csv"
[17:28] <Lamego> Piero_Scaruffi, on a terminal: glxinfo |grep direct
[17:28] <cccharles> madsporkmurderer: for all CSV files "cat *csv > complete.csv"
[17:28] <gligorhoria> soundray yess, it does exist, i'm not mad! :D
[17:29] <cccharles> madsporkmurderer: it should do them in alphanumeric order, if that matters to you.
[17:29] <goppp_> Does this sound good "all computers are sending and recving emails
[17:29] <goppp_> - dns covad are <IP_ADDRESS>  and <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:29] <goppp_> - issue with covad did not report to me, the issue was sloved. Covad
