[19:53] <android60> ok thanks guys
[19:53] <hspaans> IrishDavid: ok, because developers need to know if things break
[19:53] <SuNDeC> overshard: sudo apt-get autoclean
[19:53] <SuNDeC> overshard: sudo apt-get autoremove
[19:53] <IrishDavid> temppy: might give that a shot, but i've tried twice already on fresh installs and it hasnt worked both times, getting fed up...
[19:53] <Y-Town> miranda_psi: anything?
[19:53] <IrishDavid> hspaans: i know :) always report faults
[19:54] <overshard> SuNDeC: that gets rid of unused software? like how long do i have to not use something before it realizes it as unused?
[19:54] <Gletob> Hey SuNDeC my ethernet is still not working can you help?
[19:54] <temppy> IrishDavid: you tried that already?  I don't think you need to try again if it already didn't work...
[19:55] <IrishDavid> temppy: there is another patch i found on the ubuntu forum, but i dont have much hope for it because other people already said they didnt get this to work
[19:55] <Guest88> hello everyone, how do i find Franfurt city channel????

[19:56] <deany> SuNDeC:  last time i used autoremove with Icecast, of all things, it removed my desktop :))
[19:56] <miranda_psi> Y-Town: try putting "guest account = youruser" in the authentication section and restart samba(sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart)
[19:56] <overshard> SuNDeC: oh, well is there a way to remove software that hasn't been used for like a month

[19:57] <Guest88>  hello everyone, how do i find Franfurt city channel????
[19:57] <deany> i didnt pay much attention to it till i rebooted..doh
[19:57] <Gletob> Guest88: What are you talking about
[19:57] <Y-Town> miranda_psi: ok
[19:57] <SuNDeC> overshard: may be you could you "find" command to specify what files are not used int the /usr/bin/ for a month
[19:58] <tonsofpcs> How can I set up a ssh host (either WinXP or Ubuntu 8.10) such that a user connecting doesn't get shell access and that user can forward one specific port (and only that port)?
[19:58] <SuNDeC> deany: so what did you do after that :-)
[19:58] <bartmon> hello. my flashplugin-nonfree is acting up again. Has sound also died for anyone recently?
[19:59] <josher4> SuNDeC: What do you think I should do about my PM?

[19:59] <Guest88> gletob, plese have a look in private
[19:59] <earthmeLon> Hey guys, I am really trying to set up my *Multimedia Keys* on my keyboard.  I've found a bunch of tutorials on how to capture the keys using xev and getscancodes and such, but each of these programs seems to be having a hard time determining what key is being pressed.  I think it knows SOMETHING is being pressed because I ocassionally get something like: "KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,"  Does anybody here ...
[19:59] <SuNDeC> josher4: dont know what you mean
[19:59] <earthmeLon> ... have any suggestions for me?
[20:00] <deany> I know i could of installed ubuntu-desktop again (maybe).. but i was so dam (bad word)
[20:00] <HacKBoX> tonsofpcs: Setup SSH then make a basic user with no privileges and edit .bashrc in the home directory of the user to setup the port forwarding
[20:00] <Guest88> gletob.. in private please!
[20:00] <josher4> SuNDeC: Did you read my PM?
[20:00] <HacKBoX> SuNDeC: how do you PM someone
[20:00] <SuNDeC> josher4: what PM?
[20:01] <SuNDeC> HacKBoX: dont know :-)
[20:01] <danes_> hello im having problems with audio when i play youtube videos, the sound seems to get stuck and rerpetitive
[20:01] <lukasz> Viola I have done it!
[20:02] <SuNDeC> danes_: try to update to the lastest version of flash player (from adobe website)
[20:02] <Gletob> can any one help me with my Realtek RTL8139 Desktop Etherenet Controller it's not working
[20:02] <lukasz> I have successfully changed the boot themes
[20:02] <lukasz> I knew I messed up my boot before :D
[20:02] <SuNDeC> Gletob: wicd does not work for you?
[20:02] <danes_> sundec is there a ubuntu plugin for that?
[20:02] <Gletob> Sundec: nope
[20:03] <HacKBoX> Anybody Need Help?
[20:03] <n8tuser2> Gletob-> post results of sudo lshw -C network
[20:03] <grandmaneedshelp> Hi everyone! I am setting up xubuntu on my EIGHTY year old grandmas laptop... I am trying to simplify it as much as possible, a long with locking the system down settings wise. Any ideas?
[20:03] <SuNDeC> danes_: that's the error from old version of flash player, so you have to update to the lastest version
[20:04] <zsquareplusc> grandmaneedshelp: the laptop is eighty years old? wow
[20:04] <HacKBoX> grandmaneedshelp: install it and set her up with basic desktop account not an admin
[20:04] <grandmaneedshelp> zsquareplusc: no my grandma is eighty
[20:04] <bartmon> grandmaneedshelp: Just give her a non-admin user (not in usergroup wheel, sudoers file, etc)
[20:04] <zsquareplusc> grandmaneedshelp: the system settings require a passoword, is that not enough? you could also set up a user with out admin group
[20:05] <SuNDeC> Gletob: does wicd see your card after installation?
[20:05] <Gletob> yes
[20:05] <danes_> SuNDeC, ok, thanks
[20:05] <grandmaneedshelp> that is switchable from within users and groups right?
[20:05] <hspaans> grandmaneedshelp: have a look at sabayon
[20:05] <zsquareplusc> grandmaneedshelp: exactly. just keep an account with admin group
[20:06] <hspaans> grandmaneedshelp: its made to lock down an user environment
[20:06] <josher4> Ok, I did sudo apt-get install cario-dock. It gives me something about it needing 1128kB for archives and after that needing 9744 of additional disk space needing to be used. Y/n?
[20:06] <HacKBoX> grandmaneedshelp: Just go to System->Administration->Users & Groups
[20:06] <Dexi> hey all
[20:06] <SuNDeC> josher4: Y
[20:06] <grandmaneedshelp> hspaans: I was told about sabayon yesterday, but had to go to bed, it being pretty late at that time.
[20:06] <earthmeLon> Haha, I was having trouble with my Multimedia Keys not being detected.  Strange thing, though.  I held down shift and pressed them and they were magically detected.  Huh?
[20:06] <savid> Does anyone know why this might be happening?   http://i42.tinypic.com/33xwuue.jpg     http://i43.tinypic.com/2i20ykn.jpg     It's showing 3 instances of a battery,  as well as 3 wireless adapters.
[20:06] <Gletob> n8tuser2: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7a5dfe81
[20:06] <HacKBoX> grandmaneedshelp: It explains itself
[20:07] <earthmeLon> LMAO@ savid >_<
[20:07] <josher4> SuNDeC: K, It did its thing. Where can i find it?
[20:07] <SuNDeC> josher4: find what?
[20:07] <grandmaneedshelp> So I should just click the shield icon (make everything mandatory) ?
[20:07] <Y-Town> miranda_psi: Thanks so much... That fixed it.. thank you
[20:07] <josher4> SuNDeC: How do I start it?
[20:07] <HacKBoX> grandmaneedshelp: Yes
[20:07]  * savid holds his head in shame while earthmeLon laughs at his expense
[20:07] <miranda_psi> Y-Town: np - enjoy :)
[20:08] <n8tuser2> Gletob -> looks okay, now if you only can follow my directions...   sudo ifdown eth0;    sudo ifup eth0
[20:08] <SuNDeC> josher4: alt-f2, then type: cairo-dock
[20:08] <grandmaneedshelp> HacKBoX: and this will also lock the panels, so she doesn't accidentally delete it/move stuff around?
[20:09] <lunanlad> Hi guys, I'm trying to reset my graphics display settings, have typed in "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" which was supposed to give me a series of questions to answer, but instead it says: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) Any ideas? :S
[20:09] <bartmon> savid: i also sometimes get triple interfaces... do you know what's up?
[20:09] <HacKBoX> grandmaneedshelp: It will make it so she can't access system wide setting; She may still have access to user preferences
[20:09] <josher4> SuNDeC: Says it can't find file:///home/josher4/cario-dock
[20:09] <n8tuser2> grandmaneedshelp -> look into a kioks setup  a lot more work for you, but its setup without user able to change much
[20:09] <kantxx> hey all, im using the gnome CPU Freq Scaling Monitor. It shows below 599Mhz but i set the lowest freq allowed to 799Mhz.. is there a way to hide the unusable?
[20:09] <savid> bartmon,  no idea.  that's what I'm trying to figure out :-P
[20:10] <SuNDeC> josher4: cairo, not cario
[20:10] <chandru> hi.. anyone give me link for knowing how to install .tar.bz files ...
[20:10] <Gletob> n8tuser2: okay it said ifdown: interface eth0 not configured and ifup said Ignoring unknow interfacew eth0=eth0
[20:10] <grandmaneedshelp> n8tuser2: you mean kiosk setup?
[20:10] <mgolisch> lunanlad: i think if you boot into single user mode (recovery) it offers an option to fix x11 , alternatively you can try moving the xorg.conf away
[20:10] <Dexi> why isnt pidgin 253 in the repos
[20:10] <SuNDeC> Gletob: can i see the output of ifconfig command
[20:10] <mgolisch> lunanlad: provided you run a current version of ubuntu that is
[20:10] <hspaans> chandru: yes, don't. see if there is a package first
[20:10] <n8tuser2> grandmaneedshelp -> yes
[20:10] <josher4> SuNDeC: Ah.. lol. Got it
[20:11] <lunanlad> mgolisch, how do i move it away?  and to where?
[20:11] <lunanlad> yes, it's up to date
[20:11] <n8tuser2> Gletob -> try again  with  posting contents of    ifconfig  and sudo lshw -C network
[20:11] <deany> Dexi: kopete is better.. unless you wanna compile plidgin from source, which is simple enough...
[20:11] <lunanlad> my wife changed the screen resolution settings, and not the monitor goes "video mode not supported"  after boot up...  we get boot up text, the beige screen with teh tribalmusic, then monitor loses it, and I can;t get it back
[20:11] <Dexi> deany: eeewwww i hate kopete
[20:11] <Accidus> I have problems with my wired connection on my Dell Inspiron 1545. Under Vista, everything seems to work nicely. In Ubuntu (8.10) I can surf and limitedly use the connection (IRC works, for example), but advanced/interactive webpages don't work correctly. For example, gmail/facebook disconnect, I can't login correctly to bank accounts or post messages to forums. This issue is reproducible in Epiphany, hence this is not a firefox problem. My
[20:11] <Accidus> ISP claims that if things work in Vista they should work the same in Ubuntu. I do not think this is a DNS problem, since the problematic sites does load. Any idea what can I do to further diagnose the problem/solve it?
[20:12] <jam3s2001> I just got kubuntu with kde4, is there a way to get the desktop to behave like a desktop, outside of plasma?
[20:12] <Dexi> deany it is simple but then i feel like i have 2 pidgins installed
[20:12] <mgolisch> lunanlad: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak or something
[20:12] <deany> not if you remove one first :)
[20:12] <Dexi> ;)
[20:12] <bartmon> lunalan
[20:12] <Dexi> good plan
[20:12] <zsquareplusc> lunanlad: you might be able to use xrandr from a text console to switch resolution
[20:12] <temppy> Accidus: maybe its an ipv6 think
[20:12] <deany> why not make a deb from it to make things easier to uninstall
[20:12] <lunanlad> we tried that ear;lier, mgolisch, it did not work...  jack_Sparrow was helping me earlier on, with no success
[20:12] <Dexi> but will all the plugins wirk right?
[20:12] <deany> in case.
[20:13] <temppy> Accidus: in that, you need to blacklist the ipv6 module or something
[20:13] <bartmon> lunanlad: Try changing to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1
[20:13] <deany> sure..
[20:13] <chandru> hspaans: i am new to ubuntu.. so only want to know how to install files.. so only give link for installing tar.bz files
[20:13] <lunanlad> what is xrandr, zsquare?
[20:13] <ed___> Hey, i dont suppose there is anyway that you can share a whole drive/partition in Ubuntu 8.10?
[20:13] <ed___> on a network
[20:13] <hspaans> chandru: check add/remove applications first
[20:13] <lunanlad> yes, ctrl+alt+f1 gets me to a terminal
[20:13] <zsquareplusc> lunanlad: it's a command line tool to switch X resolution
[20:13] <mgolisch> lunanlad: its used to change the resolution of a running x11 session
[20:13] <hardisk> hey guys
[20:14] <mgolisch> try something like DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr and see if it displays any possible resoltuions
[20:14] <hspaans> chandru: what is the application you try to install? because tar.bz2 is mostly compile work you don't want
[20:14] <lunanlad> how do I run this xrandr?
[20:14] <bartmon> chandru: That is probably source code. You need to extract it, then configure it and then compile it. There should be a README file in that archive.
[20:14] <hardisk> Is someone here have the same issue ? My CPU Cooler dont work :x
[20:14] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> how is your ubuntu connected to the ISP? can you elaborate on the network layout?
[20:14] <zsquareplusc> lunanlad: an alternative is, if you have desktop sharing enables use an other PC and a VNC viewer. (x11vnc can also be used to share the desktop if you haven't activated it)
[20:14] <n8tuser2> lunanlad -> man xrandr   and hopefully your video driver supports it
[20:15] <chandru> hspaans: that i know.. i want how to make.configure one software package.. i want to learn it..
[20:15] <Accidus> temppy: I think I tried that. But the ipv6 is only related to DNS, isn't it? And I can surf to most sites.
[20:15] <bartmon> lunanlad: Well from that terminal you should be able to change resolutions in a text configuration file. It's called xorg.conf and it's placed in /etc/X11
[20:15] <lunanlad> I did not enable desktop sharing on the other manchine, this laptop is on ubuntu too... is there a way I can force desktop sharing from this machine?
[20:15] <krlhc81> Can anyone help please?  I'm having trouble with Network Manager.  It used to work, but this morning when I boot up, it doesn't connect to anything and says "NetworkManger is not running"
[20:15] <hspaans> chandru: then is #ubuntu-offtopic the place for you
[20:15] <n8tuser2> chandru -> then google for  what an archiving tool is, like tar, and compression like bzip
[20:16] <Accidus> n8tuser2: Well, there is an adapter on the way, but the problem persists even when it is removed. Basically I have a LAN socket in my (dorm) room and I connect my machine to that socket via an ethernet cable.
[20:16] <rebel> I accidentally hit cntr+alt+f1 instead of cntr+alt+1 how can i escape back to GUI ?
[20:16] <Flannel> rebel: ctrl-alt-f7
[20:16] <chandru> bartmon:  give link that should explain step by step how to make into .deb file
[20:16] <zsquareplusc> rebel alt+F7 or F5 or F9 :p
[20:16] <rebel> flannel, thank you
[20:16] <Gletob> n8tuser2 & SuNDeC: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d59bdee65
[20:16] <SuNDeC> krlhc81: first try reinstalling it
[20:16] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> what adapter are you referring to?  what have you been told is available on that socket in your dorm room?
[20:17] <rebel_kid> zsquareplusc, thank you too :)
[20:17] <bartmon> lunanlad: So first log in into that terminal and then type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf". Then you should search for the resolution settings (just look for the numbers that are usual suspect for resolutions) and change the one that's too big to the native resolution of your screen.
[20:18] <n8tuser2> Gletob -> you seem not be following my directions to you, do it again please   post results of ifconfig   and  sudo lshw -C network    dont miss the sudo okay?
[20:18] <bartmon> chandru: http://www.google.com/linux?hl=sl&q=how+to+make+deb+package+from+source+code+ubuntu
[20:18] <grandmaneedshelp> n8tuser2: is there any other way to lock down the panels?
[20:18] <lunanlad> will give it a try, thanks...  on the remote desktop thing...  I never set up a connection between this laptop and the PC in question before, is there a way I can force that to happen now, only having acces to this laptop, and command line only on other machine?
[20:18] <Accidus> n8tuser2: I have a VoIP adapter. But, as I said, the problem persists even without it.

[20:18] <n8tuser2> grandmaneedshelp -> look into kiosk setup, its pretty locked down..
[20:19] <chandru> another one question friends... can any one tell how to optimize settings in ubuntu to increase download speeds..
[20:19] <SuNDeC> Gletob: print the output of $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
[20:19] <rgnr> libgtkglext1 dependency is not satisfiable
[20:19] <nnull> When i try to open nautilus either via clicking or running in console it doesnt open, clicking nothing happens, and running "nautilus" in console just hangs?
[20:19] <rgnr> help!
[20:19] <zsquareplusc> lunanlad: that should be possible, i think when you know the right gnome registry key
[20:19] <chandru> bartmon:  thank u
[20:19] <grandmaneedshelp> n8tuser2: couldn't find anything on google, was searching xubuntu OR xfce kiosk etc.
[20:19] <n8tuser2> Gletob -> once more, you are not following my directions, you did not do  sudo lshw -C network
[20:19] <ShareCrack> 中文
[20:19] <zsquareplusc> !cn
[20:19] <nnull> 8.10 - fresh install with updates...
[20:19] <zsquareplusc> !jp
[20:20] <Gletob> n8tuser2: yes I did it was from a root shell I added the #lshw and #ifconfig comments
[20:20] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> what were you told about that socket port in your dorm room? what services is available on it?  plugging it to an cat5 looking port does not guarantee you connectivity, lest you know what is in that port
[20:20] <bartmon> lunanlad: Yes, you can lots of stuff from the terminal. Try installing a VNC server and a SSH server from within the terminal. SSH is for remote console, VNC is for remote graphical desktop. There are also other solution like FreeNX but I use VNC.
[20:20] <feelshift> @rgnr Install it.
[20:21] <lunanlad> bartmon, is there a guide on how to do that somewhere?
[20:21] <mgolisch> nnull: tried killing all running nautilus processes? like killall -9 nautilus ?
[20:21] <Accidus> n8tuser2: I'm a bit green in that respect, so I didn't quite understand what you said.
[20:21] <rgnr> feelshift:  still not satisfiable
[20:21] <Gletob> SuNDeC: it lists the loopbacks: auto lo & iface lo inet loopback
[20:21] <Accidus> n8tuser2: When I initially plugged my machine, I had to login to the ISP's service.
[20:21] <n8tuser2> Gletob -> from line 36 on is not the results of lshw -C network, check again
[20:21] <eugman> Is there a good program for clearing out duplicate photo's?
[20:21] <nnull> mgolisch, yea trying that currently.
[20:21] <Accidus> n8tuser2: After that it should be a "normal" connection, no restrictions about it.
[20:22] <bartmon> lunanlad: Yes, try searching the ubuntu wiki, also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[20:22] <feelshift> @rgnr How did you installed it? Compile or deb?
[20:22] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> ask your dorm manager, and let them tell you what services is available on that socket you plugged into
[20:22] <rgnr> feelshift:  synaptic
[20:22] <Pirate_Hunter> I keep getting a essage that the power management is not properly installed how can i fix it?

[20:23] <georgeaf> hi ppl, i get a "Cannot get a suitable visual" when using gnubik. Is there a way to get more information about the error ?
[20:23] <bartmon> lunanlad: This is all for working with the terminal. If you have a graphical desktop running you can just use the GUI menus  ...
[20:23] <harald> need help with opengl render errors on intel 945 graphics chipset (but also same problem with 915)
[20:23] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> perhaps we can poke around, post the results of     ifconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf ;   sudo iptables -vL
[20:23] <SuNDeC> Gletob: ok, you add 2 lines "auto eth0 & iface eth0 inet dhcp" (& means new line), then do the command $ dhclient eth0
[20:23] <Dexi> hey guys how do you set something to launch on startup?
[20:23] <Accidus> n8tuser2: Just a sec.
[20:24] <lunanlad> I have GUI on this ubuntu laptop, but only command line on the knackered machine
[20:24] <eugman> jtaji: thanks, is fdupes by chance related to f-spot?
[20:24] <lunanlad> I'll pop back in if I get no joy with that, thanks
[20:24] <Pirate_Hunter> hi I keep getting a message that the power management is not properly installed how can i fix it?
[20:24] <Gletob> SuNDeC: add two lines to what
[20:24] <jtaji> eugman: no, just a small program http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/fdupes
[20:24] <n8tuser2> Pirate_Hunter -> look in your bios perhaps? see if its enabled
[20:25] <feelshift> dexi: add it to sessions

[20:28] <n8tuser2> noriyuki -> umm  iso has extensions of .iso  not .nrg,  what format is that?
[20:29] <Gletob> SuNDeC: Can you hold on just on second someone posted a fix on my forum thread and I'm trying that now.
[20:29] <dbCooper> ack
[20:29] <noriyuki> mgolisch, oh really, wich one is it
[20:29] <Pirate_Hunter> hi I keep getting a message that the power management is not properly installed how can i fix it?
[20:29] <mgolisch> n8tuser2: nrg is neros image format
[20:29] <unop> !ubottu | SuNDeC
[20:29] <SuNDeC> noriyuki: you should convert ngr to iso
[20:29] <mgolisch> noriyuki: nrg2iso
[20:29] <noriyuki> n8tuser2, thats the NERO burning extension for its isos
[20:29] <deany> noriyuki: K3B
[20:29] <cars__> that is Nero, n8tuser2
[20:30] <n8tuser2> thanks for the responses

[20:31] <josher4> Im following this guide to play DvDs: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html. I can't find the "System-> Preferences-> Removable Drives and Media" selection on my comp. Ideas?
[20:31] <jtaji> josher4: what version ubuntu are you running?
[20:32] <mgolisch> josher4: in newer versions those settings are incoporated into the preferences dialog of nautilus
[20:33] <harald> can someone please give me a helping hand with intel 945 graphics and opengl problems?
[20:33] <Pirate_Hunter> hi whats the other command to check disk space ive tried df -h already, what is the other one?
[20:33] <SuNDeC> josher4: dont know why you cant play DVD, any player like totem, vlc, mplayer... do that task fine
[20:34] <SuNDeC> Pirate_Hunter: sudo fdisk -l
[20:34] <mgolisch> hehe
[20:34] <mgolisch> SuNDeC: probably he wants xine as it can handle menus properly
[20:34] <Dexi> whats linux's file format for programs, equiv. of windows' .exe
[20:34] <usser> Dexi, theres none
[20:34] <Dexi> usser, so, how do i go about finding a program to add to sessions
[20:35] <Pirate_Hunter> SuNDeC: wrong command im looking to check disk space inside folders my fault for the cnfusion
[20:35] <usser> Dexi, whether file is executable is controlled by executable bit on every file
[20:35] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: du
[20:35] <Dexi> usser, ohk.
[20:35] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: thank you
[20:35] <usser> Dexi, usually you would be looking for .bin .sh .out or something like that
[20:35] <Dexi> usser, ok
[20:36] <SuNDeC> Pirate_Hunter: "check disk space inside folders" what' that?
[20:36] <feelshift> dexi: open a terminal and type the programs's name and if it starts add just the name in Sessions
[20:36] <rebel_kid> dexi, there really isnt one but on ubuntu (a debian based distro) .deb is the standard install package. im not sure what exactly your looking for but it would be a good idea to look in your add/remove or your apt-cache for available applications
[20:36] <mgolisch> SuNDeC: probably check the space all files in the folder take on the filesystem
[20:36] <mgolisch> SuNDeC: you need to read between the lines..
[20:36] <mgolisch> :)
[20:37] <Gletob> SuNDeC: Thank you so much for your help but it turns out a setting in windows was messing me up in ubuntu aparantly windows would disable the card at shutdown and not reenable until next windows boot.  But thanks again
[20:37] <Pirate_Hunter> can some help me change xubuntu language setting from english to portuguese?
[20:37] <deany> Dexi: if you tell us what you are tryin to add, we can give exact instructions,  unless its some custom script
[20:37] <everettz> Can someone tell me what to do to get openssh-server installed in Intrepid?  I am getting a no installable candidates error.
[20:37] <SuNDeC> Pirate_Hunter: mgolisch "du" just show the size of folders, not files
[20:37] <Dexi> feelshift, rebel_kid, trying to add pidgin and checkgmail to sessions. lol pidgin name will work, ill try checkgmail
[20:37] <Dexi> deany, ^
[20:37] <zsquareplusc> everettz: did you apt-get update after editing your sources.list?
[20:37] <everettz> Is there a simple command line command for checking disk size and usage?
[20:38] <SuNDeC> Gletob: i dont think so, cause i encounter this error before
[20:38] <Pirate_Hunter> SuNDeC: yeah true thats what i wanted since i needed to find out which folder had over 20GB :/
[20:38] <jtaji> everettz: df -h
[20:38] <georgeaf> hi ppl, i get a "Cannot get a suitable visual" when using gnubik. Is there a way to get more information about the error ?
[20:38] <jtaji> Pirate_Hunter: du -sh directory
[20:38] <mgolisch> georgeaf: google?
[20:38] <Pirate_Hunter> SuNDeC: but thanx for pointing that out it was my fault i shouldve asked the question properly
[20:38] <everettz> zsquareplusc: I always forget that.
[20:38] <rebel_kid> dexi, ah
[20:38] <deany> Dexi: if the program has something in the applications menu, try lookin at its properties
[20:38] <zsquareplusc> everettz: because its should just work :) it installed the server with "apt-get install ssh"
[20:39] <krlhc8> hello
[20:39] <Dexi> deany, ty
[20:39] <Gletob> SuNDeC: but changing this setting has fixed my ethernet.
[20:39] <Pirate_Hunter> jtaji: that gives a summary but thanx
[20:39] <Accidus> n8tuser2: This is so annoying. Because of the problem I can't seem to be able to post things on paste bins (I've tried 2 already)
[20:39] <Pirate_Hunter> can some help me change xubuntu language setting from english to portuguese?
[20:39] <eth01> i've got a microphone - which won't for some reason mute?
[20:39] <deany> Dexi: gives you all the info you need..
[20:39] <krlhc8> SuNDeC: so should i just transfer the corresponding .deb files over to the laptop and try reinstalling Network Manager?
[20:39] <eth01> (i've tried every possible option in volume options)
[20:39] <tonsofpcs> eth01 - how are you trying to mute it?
[20:39] <SuNDeC> Pirate_Hunter: you should use the switch --max-depth=1 for clear look
[20:39] <eth01> tonsofpcs; er through the volume icon in the taskbar?
[20:39] <Dexi> deany :)
[20:40] <tonsofpcs> eth01 - try unplugging it?
[20:40] <Pirate_Hunter> SuNDeC: huh?
[20:40] <Gletob> SuNDeC: THe info is on this page http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_network#Realtek_No_Link_.2F_WOL_issue
[20:40] <eth01> tonsofpcs, its built into the laptop screen
[20:40] <jtaji> Pirate_Hunter: if you don't use the summary option you will get file sizes and you said you wanted to find "space inside folders"
[20:40] <Ahmuck> was there an update that "killed" the ability to use a wacom bamboo fun?

[20:41] <jtaji> Pirate_Hunter: you can use it to give you the sizes of multiple directories, e.g. du -sh /*
[20:41] <eth01> !ops Ravesky
[20:41] <eth01> !ops
[20:41] <mgolisch> its probably due to the pulseaudio redirection stuff, that the volume thing doesnt control the actual alsa sound cards
[20:41] <Ravesky> eth01 xD
[20:41] <Ravesky> lol
[20:41] <Ravesky> ops ops
[20:41] <SuNDeC> krlhc8: you uninstall it first by sudo apt-get remove network-manager, then reinstall by sudo apt-get install network-manager
[20:41] <jtaji> Pirate_Hunter: or as SuNDeC mentioned you can descend to further directories with --max-depth
[20:42] <Flannel> krlhc8: Please watch your language
[20:42] <mgolisch> eth01: tried muting the master control on the displayed capture soundcards/devices in the volume control thing?
[20:42] <Pirate_Hunter> jtaji: oh ok didnt know that, thats new thank you
[20:42] <SuNDeC> Pirate_Hunter: that switch make the du command show just the directories at level 1
[20:42] <Pirate_Hunter> SuNDeC: thanx for the info
[20:42] <krlhc8> SuNDeC: easier said than done without the internet working on the problematic laptop
[20:43] <mgolisch> krlhc8: maybe plug in a cable untill you fixed your nm problem
[20:43] <puddle> anyone no Enoch here?
[20:44] <patco444> hi
[20:44] <Pirate_Hunter> anyone can help me change the language settings from english to portuguese in xubuntu either through cli or gui?

[20:44] <krlhc8> mgolisch: won't NM prevent it from reaching eth0 or eth1, too though?
[20:44] <VieQ> hi all, is there is any interactive Firewall to use on Ubuntu?
[20:44] <MenZa> !iptables | VieQ
[20:45] <Fezzler> blender -w is supposed to open it in window, but it doesn't.  #blender folk don't know why.  Ubuntu issue?
[20:45] <MenZa> Fezzler: Are you using a custom Blender build?
[20:45] <MenZa> e.g. Apricot?
[20:45] <mgolisch> krlhc8: you do have dhcp dont you? getting online should be as easy as sudo dhclient eth0 or whatever your wired interface name is
[20:45] <VieQ> thx ubottu
[20:45] <deany> VieQ: UFW has a gui called GUFW.
[20:45] <lewench> I have a G5 mouse. How would I setup the extra button it has on the side? It only has 1 button, not 2.
[20:46] <Flannel> !mouse | lewench
[20:46] <zu> vascello
[20:46] <zsquareplusc> lewench: they just started working automatically on intrepid. do you want to change something?
[20:46] <deany> well thats what is builtin to ubuntu as well as the iptables..
[20:46] <krlhc8> mgolisch: i'll try that, thanks.
[20:46] <zu> natale a rio
[20:47] <VieQ> UFW, thats the one being developed by Ubuntu Right?
[20:47] <Fezzler> MenZa: no
[20:47] <VieQ> yes it is
[20:47] <lewench> zsquareplusc: Kinda, its not working on Cedega (World of Warcraft)
[20:47] <VieQ> thx for the tip deany
[20:49] <zsquareplusc> lewench: it should be configured to be "back" by default. i swapped wheel and thumb button with xmodmap. more can be configured with the imwheel tool
[20:49] <robo47> hi, anybody knows a gui-program which shows me all current active network-connections with port / protocol and rx/tx of those connections ? like most windows desktop firewalls do ?
[20:49] <lewench> zsquareplusc: Ok thanks. Ill try out the imwheel
[20:49] <Slyboots> Im stuck trying to install Ubuntu using a LVM, I've used pvcreate to mark both drives and then used vgcreate to merge them.  Tested that with vgdisplay and it confirms it exists
[20:50] <zsquareplusc> lewench: maybe cedega isn't forwarding all the mouse buttons. thats a commerciall windows emulator, right?
[20:50] <mgolisch> yeah its a fork of some stonage wine version
[20:50] <mgolisch> :)
[20:50] <mgolisch> +e
[20:50] <Slyboots> Problem is, when I run lvcreate to create a partition inside the LVM, it fails.. throws up a few errors about unable to talk to the device-mapper in the kernel as well as the error "Incompatable libdevmapper 1.02.20 (2007-06-15)(compat) and kernel driver stripped: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel"
[20:51] <Slyboots> This is from the 8.01 Live disk (Server edition)
[20:51] <Slyboots> Cant get any further
[20:51] <phece> if i reinstall ubuntu and copy over my .ssh in my current home to the new installation, will my private/public key work just as it does now?
[20:51] <earthmeLon> I'm trying to assign multimedia keys to cwiid.  I have the names of the keys, as well as their codes.  I've opened the button config file and I changed Wiimote.B = XF86AudioStop and such but I get the error: syntax error, unexpected INT, expecting BTN_ACTION.  Any suggestions?
[20:51] <kitche> phece: no
[20:52] <Dexi> hey guys, i downloaded pidgin and compiled it, but i am not using the right version when i run it... can someone help me put things in the right place so 2.5.3 overwrites the old one?
[20:52] <krlhc8> mgolisch: i can't find a ethernet cable, so do you know how to find all the dependencies of network-manager?
[20:52] <kitche> phece: your private key will though but your host key won;t
[20:52] <krlhc8> *an
[20:52] <trojan_> Всем привет
[20:52] <mgolisch> Dexi: why do you want that?
[20:52] <phece> kitche: is there anyway to preserve it all?
[20:52] <earthmeLon> Dexi, you try just installing it with apt-get ?
[20:52] <mgolisch> Dexi: why not remove the ubuntu one?
[20:53] <perJ> dexi: why install it in /usr/local and alter menu entry
[20:53] <Slyboots> Is LVM support broken on the 8.01 live disk or something?
[20:53] <phece> kitche: really all i'm trying to do is update to 9.04 and i'm pretty sure it wipes my home, but i need to maintain those keys
[20:53] <mgolisch> if you realy insist on using your self compiled version
[20:53] <Dexi> earthmeLon, not sure of the command for the new one, its not in the repos i dont think
[20:53] <Dexi> mgolisch, i guess
[20:53] <Dexi> perJ, okay
[20:53] <kitche> phece: your user keys will be ok if you backup the keys and man 9.04 is really out of date
[20:53] <[TRojaN]> Hello!
[20:53] <Slyboots> Sorry, 8.04 LTS
[20:53] <perJ> dexi: you keep the packaged and can comile/test as much as you like
[20:54] <Dexi> lol thanks
[20:54] <kitche> phece: since you know april hasn't been here yet :)
[20:54] <Dexi> the only thing is that in the apps menu, they both take the command "pidgin" so i guess it just always runs the older version
[20:55] <manos> γεια σας παιδεια
[20:55] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> join me in #n8tuser  and paste it there
[20:55] <phece> kitche: hahaha, oops, yeah. oops. that was a combination of i have 8.04 and i want to move to 8.10
[20:55] <mgolisch> Dexi: you have to make starter that points to the actual full path of the executable, like /usr/local/bin/pidgin
[20:56] <mgolisch> otherwise it will use whatever is first in PATH env var
[20:56] <phece> kitche: but by back up the keys, do you mean to just do what i was saying of copying over my .ssh directory?
[20:56] <Dexi> mgolisch, cant i just compile it on top of the old pidgin?
[20:56] <grandmaneedshelp> Hi... so I was fooling around with this new system and in my attempts at locking down the system, I removed myself from the admin area. how can I login as root and change this?
[20:56] <manos> υπάρχει κανείς που να μιλάει ελληνικά;
[20:56] <Dexi> mgolisch, overwrite anything that gets in the way, keep anything that doesnt in the right folders?
[20:56] <zsquareplusc> !gr
[20:56] <Slychocobo> Fun
[20:56] <mgolisch> Dexi: why? that might break stuff and using /usr as the prefix in the configure script is a realy bad practive
[20:56] <mgolisch> *practice* dont do that
[20:57] <grandmaneedshelp> I need back my administrative priviledges
[20:57] <kitche> phece: yes
[20:57] <Dexi> mgolisch, i just think some plugins dont work if its not in the right spot
[20:57] <Slychocobo> Okay, so.. no-one has any idea?
[20:57] <phece> kitche: alright, great! thank you
[20:58] <mgolisch> Dexi: yeah plugins might not work, it might screw up as it might use the wrong versions of libraries and all that sort of stuff
[20:58] <throwt> your mom
[20:58] <Dexi> mgolisch, exactly... so can i remove the old pidgin and compile this new one in the same place?
[20:58] <manos> software for lexmark x4850 wifi?
[20:59] <grandmaneedshelp> I removed myself from the list of admins, how can I undo this?
[20:59] <zsquareplusc> grandmaneedshelp: reboot and select recovery mode in the grub boot menu
[20:59] <grandmaneedshelp> zsquareplusc: okay, then what?
[20:59] <mgolisch> Dexi: probably, but once you remove the system one theres nothing much left it could mixup stuff with
[20:59] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> okay, now what was the issue?
[20:59] <zsquareplusc> grandmaneedshelp: then you can do adduser <yoursef> admin  in a root shell
[21:00] <Accidus> n8tuser2: I'll just reask the question, since it accumulated all the relevant info:
[21:00] <Dexi> mgolisch, so remove the system one, and it doesnt matter where i compile?
[21:00] <Accidus> I have problems with my wired connection on my Dell Inspiron 1545. Under Vista, everything seems to work nicely. In Ubuntu (8.10) I can surf and limitedly use the connection (IRC works, for example), but advanced/interactive webpages don't work correctly. For example, gmail/facebook disconnect, I can't login correctly to bank accounts or post messages to forums. This issue is reproducible in Epiphany, hence this is not a firefox problem. My
[21:00] <grandmaneedshelp> zsquareplusc: thx. I will try that
[21:00] <Accidus> ISP claims that if things work in Vista they should work the same in Ubuntu. I do not think this is a DNS problem, since the problematic sites does load. Any idea what can I do to further diagnose the problem/solve it?
[21:01] <mgolisch> Dexi: but be carefull, i think pidgin is part of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, it might remove a bunch of crap if you just ripout pidgin
[21:01] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> do you have both nics  eth0 and eth1 active at same time and connected ?
[21:01] <Dexi> mgolisch, "add or remove" and remove pidgin?
[21:01] <intrepiduser1> the audio on my ubuntu is working fine except for orca...
[21:02] <Accidus> Hmm... Both are active, but only one of them is connected.
[21:02] <nnull> !ccsm
[21:02] <Accidus> n8tuser2: I think. If eth0 is the wired and eth1 is the wireless
[21:02] <XcOM> hi guys, my laptop seems to be having some issues, i am trying to install ubuntu 8.04 lts
[21:02] <XcOM> but it won't load the kernal past 13%
[21:03] <nnull> does CCSM work the same for ATI card's as it does NVIDIA? It's just the configuration GUI yea?
[21:03] <XcOM> is there any command lines for the boot cd that i can use that could bypass this issue?
[21:03] <kitche> nnull: yes
[21:03] <Accidus> n8tuser2: Yep. eth0 is the wired, eth1 is the wireless
[21:04] <nnull> kitche, ta

[21:08] <grandmaneedshelp> Hi, I was fooling around inside the Xfce 4 Settings Manager, and when I clicked a new Icon Theme under User Interface, all icons on the desktop dissapeared
[21:08] <mgolisch> Dexi: just uninstall the ubuntu pidgin version using your packagemanager
[21:09] <perJ> gaz: it's a joke - right ? - telnet
[21:09] <mgolisch> Dexi: and before you acceppt the uninstall action look at what packages would actualy get uninstalled
[21:09] <Dexi> mgolisch, but either way, wont the plugins still use the lib for that version whether its there or not?
[21:09] <mgolisch> but i think it shouldnt break much
[21:09] <issa_> Hi, why can't I find domount in repos?
[21:09] <mgolisch> Dexi: what plugins? the ones installed with the ubuntu version will all be uninstalled with it, they should atleast
[21:09] <Dexi> mgolisch, it doesnt break anything except a few things i got along with it... pidgin-last.fm pidgin-musictracker pidgin-dev etc
[21:10] <amrik> Hey, can i get ubuntu working on intel xserves?
[21:10] <Accidus> n8tuser2: There is no firewall that I know of. And as for "testing" --- everything works fine on Vista: gmail never disconnects, facebook works properly, I can access my bank account easily, post messages to forums, etc.
[21:10] <strAlan> can someone help me troubleshoot a problem with the xserver-xorg-amd and geode packages that were released today?
[21:10] <kitche> strAlan: I don't see a real problem though, since there wasn't enough information besides the vague information
[21:10] <biouser> I can see sound in audacity's meter but no sound is playing
[21:10] <Dexi> mgolisch, i mean new plugins i want to get
[21:10] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> vista is on  a different computer?
[21:10] <Accidus> Same machine
[21:10] <Accidus> Dual boot
[21:11] <strAlan> kitche, can you look at my post on UF - I typed it in detail on there
[21:11] <kitche> strAlan: maybe fi I knew the url
[21:11] <nicolas_> #ubuntu-fr
[21:11] <mgolisch> Dexi: new plugins should work if they are compatible with the version of pidgin you installed manualy, provided you install them manualy too
[21:11] <Dexi> mgolisch, okay, i guess i'll just hope :p
[21:11] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> do you have the correct plug-ins like flash  or java plugin?
[21:12] <Accidus> n8tuser2: Yes, I do.
[21:12] <cNOOB> Can someone help me: http://rafb.net/p/hWkMQo95.html <--This is my problem.
[21:12] <Accidus> n8tuser2: But even stuff that shouldn't require a plugin (submitting forms) don't work properly
[21:12] <Accidus> n8tuser2: For example, pastebin doesn't work

[21:13] <BLuEACiD> !rrr69
[21:13] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> a new install?
[21:13] <bobbie4> any particular reason why ubuntu 8.10 will only give me a mono PCM slider for an external Creative Technology USB audio device when it's a 5.1 with SPDIF?
[21:13] <BLuEACiD> LOL
[21:13] <zsquareplusc> Accidus: you tested different browsers? you don't have set a proxy? if you have 2 NICs, ensure the 2nd is off (ifconfig eth1 down)
[21:13] <Sonja> where are all my settings, colours, bookmarks, etc. for konversation stored in ubuntu? i want to back them up
[21:13] <mgolisch> bobbie4: in alsamixer?
[21:13] <jtaji> cNOOB: apt-get install is only used with packages from the repositories... you want: sudo sh ~/Desktop/magicseteditor/install.sh
[21:14] <bobbie4> yes mgolisch
[21:14] <edman007> has anyone tried running mythbuntu on an Xbox? is it fast enough?
[21:14] <strAlan> kitche, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1029607
[21:14] <cNOOB> jtaji: Okay, thanks.
[21:14] <cNOOB> I will try that
[21:14] <strAlan> sorry, now FF isn't working - lost all my bookmarks and it won't let me log into UF
[21:14] <mgolisch> bobbie4: probably due to the pulseaudio redirection mechanism in place
[21:14] <zsquareplusc> bobbie4: what gives you the idea that it is mono?  a balance slider isn't making any sense for 5 channel audio anyway ;-)
[21:14] <mgolisch> bobbie4: should be the same for the internal card
[21:14] <Accidus> n8tuser2: A new install of what? Browser? Ubuntu?
[21:15] <bobbie4> mgolisch: It shows both my soundcards, the internal and the usb external, but all I can get for conrols is the  PCM slider
[21:15] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> ubuntu?
[21:15] <Accidus> n8tuser2: This problem persisted since I installed ubuntu.
[21:15] <cNOOB> jtaji: It says: sh: Can't open /home/christopher/Desktop/magicseteditor/install.sh
[21:15] <bobbie4> the internal sound chipset has all controls present
[21:15] <Mahdi> hi all, can i install linux on an extended partition,or it must be primary,my windows is installed on primary partition
[21:15] <Accidus> n8tuser2: I've tried a fresh installation of firefox, but it continued, so I reverted to my "configured" installation
[21:15] <nachohi88> which is the best application for installing new fonts?
[21:15] <vinibill> cNOOB
[21:15] <nicolas_> #ubuntu-fr
[21:15] <mgolisch> look in the install.sh it probably tries to install a version of the package not present in this version of ubuntu @ cNOOB
[21:15] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> you dont seem to have a good install, try a fresh install of ubuntu
[21:16] <Accidus> zsquareplusc: Yes, I tried different browsers (epiphany)
[21:16] <vinibill> cNoob, you can't open that *.sh
[21:16] <vinibill> you have to execute it
[21:16] <vinibill> it's a script
[21:16] <Accidus> n8tuser2: It's a fresh install! I installed it 2 weeks ago...
[21:16] <DaveEngland> hello there! Is there porhaps a sidebar for ubuntu?
[21:16] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> you dont seem to have a good install, try a fresh install of ubuntu
[21:16] <grandmaneedshelp> Can someone please help me with restoring my desktop. I selected a new icon theme inside User Interface in the Xfce Settings Manager and all icons on the desktop dissapeared
[21:16] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> a completed one,
[21:16] <edman007> ...so how does ubuntu run with 64MB ram? is it usable?
[21:16] <cNOOB> Hm..will okay.  I will look around.  Thanks for the help I will be back. :D
[21:17] <Accidus> n8tuser2: What do you mean by complete?
[21:17] <kitche> edman007: maybe a shell only system
[21:17] <grandmaneedshelp> oh... xfce had list the ability to control the desktop, nevermind
[21:17] <edman007> :(
[21:17] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> you dont seem to have a good install, try a fresh install of ubuntu <--
[21:17] <zsquareplusc> edman007: i think you wont be happy with a desktop there. a server install (text mode) will run
[21:17] <edman007> zsquareplusc, ehh...i want to try and put mythtv on it...
[21:17] <mgolisch> bobbie4: you can disable the pulseaudio redirection , alsamixer should display the correct controls then, if you dont want to use pulseaudio that is
[21:17] <edman007> do you think it can run it?
[21:18] <kitche> edman007: 64mb of ram is not enough even for mythtv I believe
[21:18] <edman007> :(
[21:18] <Accidus> n8tuser2: I've read that already. But what do you mean? Redownload the ISO? Just reinstall from the disk I have? To erase all relevant partitions, or can I keep my /home partition?
[21:18] <ethana2> How do I tell DKMS in Ubuntu to rebuild all the kernel modules?
[21:18] <intrepiduser2> nobody here as experience with orca?
[21:18] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> redo an a fresh install
[21:18] <ethana2> There was a security update that broke the ABI and I just reverted to the previous kernel
[21:18] <bobbie4> mgolisch: okay, I'm a noob, what is pulseaudio redirection and how do I disable it?
[21:18] <DaveEngland> hello! is it possible, to get a sidebar for ubuntu? Where i could put some gadgets??
[21:18] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> redo a fresh install of ubuntu
[21:19] <strAlan> Can someone help me with a problem stemming from the xserver updates http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1029607
[21:19] <ethana2> DaveEngland: yes
[21:19] <jtaji> cNOOB, vinibill, fyi you certainly can execute a shell script with 'sh file.sh' instead of making it executable, not sure what your problem is though cNOOB
[21:19] <zsquareplusc> edman007: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1  they recommend 256
[21:19] <DaveEngland> ethana2,  could you tell me, where could i get it?
[21:19] <edman007> lame...
[21:19] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> do you have anything important need saving in /home/ ?
[21:19] <cNOOB> jtaji: My problem is I am a noob. =[
[21:19] <ethana2> DaveEngland: do you want to use google gadgets?
[21:19] <jtaji> cNOOB: probably you have mispelled the file/directory
[21:19] <edman007> its hard finding XBMC binaries...and i don't think it does commercial skipping :(
[21:19] <biouser> audacity plays an mp3, the meter says that ther is sound but I hear nothing
[21:19] <mgolisch> bobbie4: pulseaudio is a soundserver which acts on top of alsa, its thought to upmix sound from different sources (local and remote) applications into one stream for the soundcard to handle, like most cards dont support hardwaremixing
[21:20] <DaveEngland> ethana2,  yes :D Gmail and that stuff...
[21:20] <Accidus> n8tuser2: Probably not.
[21:20] <ethana2> http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/
[21:20] <cNOOB> jtaji: I already checked that.  According to my calculations I will have the problem fixed in 10 mins.  Hopefully.
[21:20] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> then redo a fresh install of ubuntu
[21:20] <jtaji> cNOOB: tab autocompletion comes in handy here, hit tab to have the shell autocomplete directory and file names
[21:20] <youknowme> whast the code to install compiz manager
[21:20] <youknowme> ?
[21:20] <mgolisch> bobbie4: in all newer ubuntu version they redirect all clients that try to access the soundcard to that said pulseaudio server, so that enven programs that dont know how to interface with pulseaduio can use it
[21:20] <Accidus> n8tuser2: What about the other questions? Redownload the ISO
[21:20] <Accidus> ?
[21:20] <biouser> !pulseaudio
[21:21] <nicolas_> #ubuntu-fr
[21:21] <strAlan> Can someone help me with a problem stemming from the xserver updates http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1029607
[21:21] <cNOOB> jtaji: I have no clue what you just said.
[21:21] <DaveEngland> ethana2,  could you tell me, what do i need to have for these gadgets pls?
[21:21] <nachohi88> do i have to install new fonts or i just have to put them all in /etc/fonts
[21:21] <mgolisch> bobbie4: disabling that is a simple as issuing the command : asoundconf unset-pulseaudio
[21:21] <mgolisch> bobbie4: after that alsamixer should show the real alsa sound cards
[21:21] <bastid_raZor> !ccsm > youknowme
[21:22] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> you can too if you wish,  but it seems okay if you had used it to install the current one
[21:22] <ethana2> DaveEngland: install google gadgets from here: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Google+Gadgets
[21:22] <ethana2> after that it should be the same as on Windows
[21:22] <mver>  I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed but troubles with inet and sound. I want to re-install 8.04 and have backed up /home. May I now safely overwrite the Ubuntu partition from the live 8.04 cd?
[21:22] <getxsick> hi, i want to upgrade bios but HP provides only utilites under win32 so i can't run it under FreeDos...any idea?
[21:22] <Bob_Dole> Honestly, I hate ubuntu. but I test every version that gets released
[21:22] <ethana2> getxsick: smbios
[21:22] <DaveEngland> ethana2,  thank you very much for now! I will try it like you said... tnx!
[21:22] <ethana2> Bob_Dole: I have a love hate relationship with everything I use
[21:22] <youknowme> thx
[21:22] <cNOOB> Bob_Dole: Then what do you use?
[21:22] <feelshift> Bob_Dole Why do you hate Ubuntu?
[21:22] <Dexi> Bob_Dole, lots of people hate ubuntu, but it seems so much easier to me, at least with intrepid
[21:22] <ethana2> Bob_Dole: Ubuntu just has the highest balance of love over hate for me
[21:22] <bastid_raZor> !ot > Bob_Dole
[21:23] <jtaji> cNOOB: e.g. type sudo sh ~Desktop/magic<tab>, and the <tab> will finish the name of the magicseteditor directory
[21:23] <Bob_Dole> I usually use Fedora or OS X :x
[21:23] <Dexi> haha that was funny we all just said stuff to him at once
[21:23] <Sonja> i made a custom command in terminal, but i don't remember where it's defined. what's the file htat lists aliases?
[21:23] <biouser> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio <-- that link is for gutsy.. should work with hardy?
[21:23] <weatherkid> I got a problem-I am trying to install xubuntu via the alt. CD. When it trys to date the BIOS using acpi=force my screen turns yellow that black and it dies. Any ideas?
[21:23] <cNOOB> Oh okay.  I didn't know that trick.
[21:24] <zsquareplusc> getxsick: there is wine, but the low level access to the BIOS might be a problem there
[21:24] <Accidus> n8tuser2: Just a second. It's possible that my binaries are good but that something went wrong during the installations?
[21:24] <cNOOB> jtaji: It says I need to download some stuff.  So going to try that now.  Thanks for the help.
[21:24] <jtaji> cNOOB: if you don't get anything hit <tab> twice in case there are multiple matches
[21:24] <n8tuser2> Accidus -> it is possible
[21:24] <getxsick> zsquareplusc: at least i get backtrace under wine so doesn't work this way
[21:24] <Pirate_Hunter> `Chris: yeah it works :D
[21:24] <`Chris> Pirate_Hunter: Ok cool, what language was it?
[21:25] <zsquareplusc> getxsick: did you check the wine docs? there are a lot of tweaks.
[21:25] <weatherkid> I got a problem-I am trying to install xubuntu via the alt. CD. When it trys to date the BIOS using acpi=force my screen turns yellow that black and it dies. Any ideas?

[21:25] <Dexi> mgolisch, i just am neurotic and wanna make sure ;P
[21:25] <getxsick> zsquareplusc: not really, also i'm not sure if i want to be so tricky when dealing with bios :D

[21:26] <Bob_Dole> Oh, yeah, thats something I could use help on, the alternate install CD for xubuntu, I check the CD and it passes, but when trying to install it can't find anything on the CD.
[21:26] <weatherkid> I got a problem-I am trying to install xubuntu via the alt. CD. When it trys to date the BIOS using acpi=force my screen turns yellow that black and it dies. Any ideas?

[21:27] <weatherkid> Chris can I PM you?
[21:27] <eth01> any ideas?
[21:27] <Pirate_Hunter> `Chris: oh ok didnt see keyboard option but than i ddint look for one ok will do now
[21:28] <weatherkid> I got a problem-I am trying to install xubuntu via the alt. CD. When it trys to date the BIOS using acpi=force my screen turns yellow that black and it dies. Any ideas?
[21:28] <`Chris> weatherkid: Sure if you want
[21:28] <`Chris> Oh I have no ideas sorry
[21:28] <mgolisch> eth01: yeah go into the volume control and mute all channels on all devices marked with capture
[21:28] <`Chris> I can run a Google search though
[21:28] <mgolisch> :)
[21:28] <Bob_Dole> weatherkid: Hey, repeating yourself a hundred times doesn't help
[21:29] <eth01> mggolisch: hrm i'll try
[21:29] <ethana2> Bob_Dole: I was going to tell him that..  truth is this is probably the biggest irc channel in history, and at this scale irc isn't really effective anymore.
[21:29] <weatherkid> Thanks maybe someone in the forums can help.

[21:30] <`Chris> Pirate_Hunter: Oh well, it's not too bad then I guess ;)
[21:30] <Dexi> mgolisch, for the musictracker plugin i need a whole bunch of depends that i could never quite get... it says PCRE development files which i tried to get once and it was just dependency after dependency. do you know of an easier way?
[21:30] <Pirate_Hunter> how can i check which WM(s) I have installed?
[21:31] <Pirate_Hunter> `Chris: nah not really even knowing i aint keeping this machine but than i never used it anyway so its all good
[21:31] <eseven73> Pirate_Hunter: when you first log in theres a "Sessions" menu click on that it should show you a list of all the WM's you have installed
[21:31] <Fezzler> FYI.  to get blender to load in a Ubuntu window, I had to use the "-p" switch with the "-w" switch as in "-p 1 1 1024 768"
[21:32] <shifty_> has anyone tried to use ati proprietary drivers and the ati open source drivers at the same time?
[21:32] <feelshift> dexi: sudo apt-get build-dep
[21:32] <Pirate_Hunter> eseven73: i know that way but isnt there another way wihtout login out?
[21:32] <mgolisch> Dexi: yeah use apt-get build-depend packagename, it should install all buildtime depencies for the given package, provided the software you want to install is in the ubuntu repository, but that will probably bring the ubuntu pidgin version back in
[21:32] <mgolisch> :)
[21:32] <mgolisch> ups
[21:32] <mgolisch> build-dep
[21:32] <mgolisch> :)
[21:32] <FloodBot2> mgolisch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:32] <Dexi> so build-dep musictracker ?
[21:32] <Dexi> or build-dep pcre
[21:32] <eseven73> Pirate_Hunter: hmmm maybe dpkg -l
[21:33] <Dexi> musictrackers working ;) ill assume its that
[21:33] <feelshift> dexi: try them both
[21:34] <shifty_> anyone using dual ati video cards, with propriety and open source drivers?
[21:34] <throwt> .................................

[21:35] <feelshift> pirate_hunter: right-click on the menu > edit menu
[21:35] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: theres a menu editor, in ubuntu atleast if you rightclick the menu
[21:35] <`Chris> Pirate_Hunter: Applications > Settings > Menu Editor
[21:35] <jtaji> Pirate_Hunter: right click on Applications, click edit menus... uncheck anything you don't want
[21:35] <bastid_raZor> Pirate_Hunter; right click applications then edit menu.. uncheck the items you don't shown
[21:35] <mgolisch> lol

[21:41] <mgolisch> Dexi: so theres no possibility that there is an oprhaned grub installed there?
[21:41] <Pirate_Hunter> `Chris: ok will check it out
[21:41] <Slart> bbelt16ag: I'm not sure it is available from the repos
[21:41] <Dexi> mgolisch, i guess its trying to, OH WAIT i should set the drive to slave right?
[21:41] <Guest9194> meaning, sorry i am new to all theses seting
[21:42] <kitche> !hostname | shovi
[21:42] <bbelt16ag> ok
[21:42] <shovi> i did that
[21:42] <bbelt16ag> can I download it?
[21:42] <mkquist> anyone wanna take a shot at low volume on oboard audio?
[21:42] <shovi> but its frozen now!
[21:42] <bastid_raZor> bbelt16ag;  deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free is the repo you have to add to /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:42] <soren_schantz> Hey. Anyone who can help me with some problems with Google Earth 4.3?
[21:42] <shovi> :(
[21:42] <kitche> shovi: you just said /etc/hostname not /etc/hosts as well

[21:42] <shovi> but it wont open
[21:42] <Geier> soren_schantz, what _is_ your problem?
[21:42] <Dexi> mgolisch, before it failed, i had linux on one drive, and windows on that drive, dual boot
[21:42] <shovi> login options wont open either
[21:42] <shovi> its brokend
[21:42] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi all! I need to reinstall my XP, running it for games and ubuntu for work. Is Super Grub Disk a trustable tool to reinstall/recover grub efter XP install?
[21:43] <mgolisch> Dexi: you probably connected it in a way so that its seen before the other drive in bios order, that might be why grub screws up
[21:43] <Slart> !enter | shovi
[21:43] <Dexi> mgolisch, right, change the slave jumper?
[21:43] <Slart> NorthByNorthWest: yes, or use the ubuntu live cd.. that works too
[21:43] <shovi> hrm... me confused
[21:43] <usr13> shovi: If you have differing hostnames in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname you will have similar problems
[21:43] <Guest9194> dexi
[21:43] <mkquist> Slart: its an abit m/b
[21:43] <bbelt16ag> ty
[21:43] <Guest9194> can yu tell me your seting
[21:44] <zsquareplusc> !grub > NorthByNorthWest
[21:44] <Guest9194> so i can try on mine please
[21:44] <Dexi> guest9194 sure one sec let me go look
[21:44] <vlad> checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
[21:44] <gleyve> Question: When I plug my headphone, audio is still in pc speak. I've already disabled pc speak at alsa mixer..This also happens in windows :(
[21:44] <vlad> anyone know why im getting that?
[21:44] <Guest9194> ok thks
[21:44] <shovi> Well, I changed one etc/hostname but now no program will open, NONE, i cant even open terminal to check what it changed the hostname to
[21:44] <soren_schantz> Geier: When i start the app, it dosn't draw the globe properly. It's a little better with 4.2. What can it be?
[21:44] <Slart> mkquist: if you run  "lspci" in a terminal, can you identify the line that describes your soundcard? paste that line here? (ONLY paste one line)
[21:44] <vileli8ves> I'm playing around with the terminal and just discovered the program less. when I scroll to the end of whatever file I am working, I get the message "waiting for data (interrupt to abort)." I've read the man page, but I can't figure out any way to do this, so I get stuck and have to close bash. What do I do?
[21:45] <usr13> shovi: Try Ctrl-Alt-F6
[21:45] <android6011> how do I install a theme like at the following b.c when i try it says it doesnt appear to be a valid theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Raptor+(Slickness+remix)?content=86048
[21:45] <mgolisch> vlad: the file might be screwed
[21:45] <Geier> soren_schantz, What graphic card do you have
[21:45] <wj32> I'm having two problems with the "Sound" preferences: 1. I've disabled the login sound but it still plays every time I login (I'm not talking about the drum sound). 2. When I click the play button next to the sounds nothing happens.
[21:45] <mkquist> Slart: Audio device: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0774 (rev a1)
[21:45] <Slart> vileli8ves: ctrl+c ? q? ctrl+z ?
[21:45] <NorthByNorthWest> zsquareplusc: allready read that, but theres so many options and Super Grub Disk seems to be the easiest/most obvious choice... which makes me suspicious... "if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is"
[21:45] <usr13> shovi: And see that the line in /etc/hosts that has <IP_ADDRESS> has same hostname is is in /etc/hostname
[21:45] <Quba> i need to see on which partiction i have linux instaled how to od that ?
[21:45] <NorthByNorthWest> Slart: can the live CD auto recover/install GRUB?
[21:46] <lukasz> bye for now!
[21:46] <vileli8ves> Slart: Aha! Ctrl+C did the trick. q wasn't doing it, but I didn't think of that. Thanks!
[21:46] <edcrfv> how can i install gettext and glib on my ubuntu system?
[21:46] <mgolisch> edcrfv: what are you up to?
[21:46] <pyrotix> Help. I've been trying to copy a directory to a portable hard drive and it doesn't want to work.Graphically it fails, and when I try to sudo cp -r source dest I get a list of "cannot create ____ : Input/output error" errors
[21:46] <wj32> edcrfv: sudo apt-get install libgettext?
[21:46] <wj32> edcrfv: sudo apt-get install libgettext-bin i meant
[21:46] <Slart> mkquist: oh.. so it doesn't recognize your audio chip.. that might be part of the problem..  I'm guessing it's one of the ICHX chips.. and those have some issues with low volumes.. I guess they will solve it eventually in the drivers but until then there might not be much you can do about it
[21:46] <Slart> vileli8ves: you're welcome
[21:46] <Slart> NorthByNorthWest: yes
[21:47] <nitai> is there a command to start an app with transset .5
[21:47] <usr13> shovi may also need to restart network /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:47] <biouser> ps ax |grep audacity returns after it nearly hangs trying to edit preferences (takes forever on a machine that does everything fast) 7711 ?        Z      0:00 [audacity] <defunct>  does anyone have some good docs about setting up pulse audio/audacity/sound in Hardy?
[21:47] <Slart> NorthByNorthWest: or... wait.. it isn't automatic.. you'll have to do it manually
[21:47] <zsquareplusc> NorthByNorthWest: it will probably work. anyways, once you have booted your hd install again, you can also run update-grub
[21:47] <Geier> soren_schantz, ?
[21:47] <biouser> (and the main audacity process)
[21:47] <Slart> NorthByNorthWest: I don't know what kind of magic voodoo the super grub disk offers.. so I can't compare them..
[21:47] <cNOOB> jtaji: It now says this: http://rafb.net/p/XGjWDP82.html
[21:48] <DaveEngland> i have one more question.. how could i copy a file in the usr/share folder? i know how to copy it over the terminal, but isnt there another way too?
[21:48] <mib_a8apnu> whats the name of that graphical file size viewer?
[21:48] <soren_schantz> Geier: How can i see that, isn't there an easy way in ubuntu? I dosn't normally use ubuntu
[21:48] <NorthByNorthWest> Slart: ok, read different guides earlier in the link zsquareplusc sent me...
[21:48] <Geier> hmm let me see
[21:48] <wj32> DaveEngland: what file do you want to copy?
[21:48] <usr13> DaveEngland: Copy a file from where to where?
[21:48] <w3rd_> anybody use #! for an os ?
[21:48] <soren_schantz> Geier: I'm just helping a friend
[21:48] <gaintsura> hey all I'm having TONS of problems with my system keeping the correct time. I set it proper less than 2 hours ago and its already jumped ahead almost 30 minutes. Laptop is less than 1 year old, anyone have any ideas?
[21:49] <DaveEngland> Copy a file from the desktop to the usr/share folder :(
[21:49] <DaveEngland> :)
[21:49] <NorthByNorthWest> Slart: auto voodoo stuff makes me nervous... but the utility seems appreciated by others...
[21:49] <Geier> soren_schantz, lspci | grep vga
[21:49] <pkodon> Ahh, that's better.
[21:49] <shovi> how do i change my login name
[21:49] <wj32> DaveEngland: why would you want to do that?
[21:49] <Slart> NorthByNorthWest: =) give it a try.. worst case you have to do it manually ..
[21:49] <DaveEngland> i want to install a google gadget :D I need to copy it to the google-gadget folder.. right?
[21:49] <mkquist> Slart: an ICHX chip? how would I know?
[21:49] <Geier> soren_schantz, sorry it's lspci | grep VGA
[21:49] <wj32> DaveEngland: the only way is sudo cp
[21:49] <usr13> DaveEngland: cp Desktop/filename /share/
[21:49] <wj32> DaveEngland: or sudo nautilus --no-desktop
[21:50] <wj32> !gksu | wj32
[21:50] <Slart> mkquist: it's a very common chip.. ICH7, ICH8, ICH9 etc.. I think most of them has this "low volume" problem..
[21:50] <Guest9194> can someone help me install the driver for my logitech webcam, i think i need the gspca5xx
[21:50] <DaveEngland> wj32,  thank you!
[21:50] <pkodon> If I started out with Kubuntu, then installed ubuntu-desktop, if I pick gnome as my default desktop, will it stll start with the kubuntu startup screen?
[21:50] <DaveEngland> usr13, thx i know that :D
[21:50] <NorthByNorthWest> Slart: will do... just wish that Valve will release source to linux soon! :)
[21:50] <soren_schantz> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[21:50] <soren_schantz> Geier:
[21:50] <Slart> mkquist: you can look at your motherboard specifications.. see what it says there
[21:50] <NorthByNorthWest> (and I need my BF2142-jolts)
[21:50] <Zombie_Gaz> Valve source would be awesome.
[21:50] <Guest9194> i am using intrepid
[21:50] <Geier> ?
[21:50] <guntbert> mib_a8apnu: maybe you want gdmap?
[21:50] <mattbd> pkodon: Yes
[21:51] <Slart> NorthByNorthWest: yea..that would have been a nice christmas present indeed
[21:51] <mgolisch> i think ubuntu-desktop actualy changes the usplash theme
[21:51] <soren_schantz> Geier: It's  Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[21:51] <mattbd> pkodon: Unless when you installed Gnome you changed the login manager to GDM
[21:51] <Guest9194>  no image with amsn, it say something about dep/dev
[21:51] <mgolisch> atleast i got the xubuntu one after installing the coresponding metapackage
[21:51] <nnull> guys im trying to view AVI files with a ATI card, the video is all flickering?
[21:52] <NorthByNorthWest> Slart: amen to that! well... here goes nothing... keep your fingers crossed... and thanks for the advice Slart and zsquareplusc!
[21:52] <mgolisch> Guest9194: it says something isnt helpfull
[21:52] <mattbd> pkodon: You can only run one login manager - Kubuntu uses KDM by default and Ubuntu uses GDM
[21:52] <pyrotix> Help! I've been trying to copy a directory to a portable hard drive and it doesn't want to work.Graphically it fails, and when I try to sudo cp -r source dest I get a list of "cannot create ____ : Input/output error" errors
[21:52] <wj32> pyrotix: what filesystem is it
[21:52] <Geier> soren_schantz, I don't really know about Intel Graphics, do you have any drivers installed?
[21:52] <mgolisch> nnull: disable compiz? does that help?
[21:52] <berat> r
[21:52] <DaveEngland> how can i install a google gadget, that i download from the google-gadgets webpage?
[21:52] <Guest9194> yes sorry the camera otion give me
[21:52] <Guest9194> v4l:qcm usb camera
[21:52] <heirrook> i am trying to copy all files that start with a period by doing cp -r /home/.*  but it copies everything in my home directory
[21:52] <nnull> mgolisch, ill try that
[21:52] <soren_schantz> Geier: Only what ubuntu have installed native
[21:52] <Gnea> pyrotix: sounds like a bad device or bad cable
[21:52] <Guest9194> no other option
[21:52] <usr13> DaveEngland: Is it .deb  ?
[21:53] <DaveEngland> usr13,  no, it is a .gg file :)
[21:53] <pkodon> mattbd: No, just ubuntu-desktop. I have a menu on the login screen where I can pick a gnome session, but it's still the KDM login screen.
[21:53] <wj32> heirrook: ah yes, you should read the unix haters handbook. anyway, try using cp -r "/home."*
[21:53] <soren_schantz> Geier: But it looks like it's some problem with the graphics
[21:53] <wj32> heirrook: oh wait that doesn't work
[21:53] <pkodon> Unix haters handbook? There is such a thing?
[21:53] <guntbert> heirrook: thats because the actual directory is also known as '.'
[21:53] <SlimeyPete> yes
[21:54] <nnull> mgolisch, yep that worked thanks
[21:54] <SlimeyPete> google it
[21:54] <SlimeyPete> it's quite amusing
[21:54] <Guest9194> i think on intrepid 8.10 i need to install  the gspca5xx driver
[21:54] <Guest9194> can you help me
[21:54] <pyrotix> Gnea: if it is a bad device how do I get the computer to copy all of the readab;e files over?
[21:54] <Geier> soren_schantz, what says glxinfo | grep rendering
[21:54] <usr13> DaveEngland:  I don't think you were actually suppposed to just download it to the HD.
[21:54] <wj32> well can someone help heirrook with his problem of not being able to copy directories starting with '.'?
[21:54] <usr13> DaveEngland: Go back to the site you downloaded it from and look for the proper way to install.
[21:55] <mattbd> pkodon: OK, so you have both the Ubuntu and Kubuntu desktops installed but want to change your login manager?
[21:55] <Gnea> heinrich_: find /home -name "\.[A-Za-z0-9]*" -exec cp -a {} /destination/directory \;
[21:55] <usr13> wj32: Same way as any other.
[21:55] <pyrotix> Gnea: because it is the device I'm running my computer off of and has all my system files. It seems for the most part to be working... unless the problem is with the portable hard drive
[21:55] <soren_schantz> Geier: Direct rendering: Yes
[21:55] <Geier> that's good
[21:55] <HacKBoX> hello
[21:55] <usr13> wj32: Names that start 2with . are just hidden files or directories.
[21:55] <pkodon> mattbd: Well, as long as the login manager doesn't have any affect on the session, I guess it doesn't matter.
[21:56] <guntbert> heirrook: listen what Gnea said to heinrich_
[21:56] <pyrotix> Gnea: how do I check the integrity of the portable hard drive?
[21:56] <biouser> dar!  ardour does not want to open an mp3 for editing and audacity doesn't work with pulse audio!!!!
[21:56] <Geier> soren_schantz, so there are no problems with the graphic card
[21:56] <mgolisch> but .* probably will copy all stuff ./ onwards
[21:56] <wj32> usr13: yes but when he tried to copy all dirs starting with '.' he copied all the files
[21:56] <grandmaneedshelp> is there a way that I can get ubuntu (or rather xubuntu) to not only auto update the system, but also auto install them, without any user intervention and without any notifications?
[21:56] <Gnea> pyrotix: check your cable, perhaps it's going bad - got a spare?
[21:56] <Guest9194> mgolish, can you help me make the logiteck webcam work??
[21:56] <biouser> I would like to simply edit and mp3 :(
[21:56] <Geier> soren_schantz, does Googleearth give out any errors when you start it in the console?
[21:57] <wj32> grandmaneedshelp: System > Administration > Software Sources
[21:57] <mattbd> pkodon: It doesn't really have any effect. You could uninstall kdm and install gdm instead if you wanted to, but there's little point really.
[21:57] <pkodon> mattbd: I'm thinking of installing the xubuntu-desktop package as well, so I can compare.
[21:57] <usr13> wj32: What exactly are you trying to do?
[21:57] <Gnea> heirrook: yeah, sorry, that was for you: find /home -name "\.[A-Za-z0-9]*" -exec cp -a {} /destination/directory \;
[21:57] <wj32> grandmaneedshelp: in Updates, Automatic updates, select "Install security updates without confirmation"
[21:57] <Gnea> heinrich_: sorry about that, wrong tab completion :)
[21:57] <wj32> usr13: it's not me, it's heirrook
[21:57] <soren_schantz> Geier: No, not at all, the only problem is that i won't drawe the earth or map properly. So he can't use it at all
[21:58] <heirrook> thank you wj32, gnubert, and especially Gnea!
[21:58] <Geier> soren_schantz, ok
[21:58] <Geier> how exactly is the map drawn
[21:58] <mattbd> pkodon: If you need to get back to pure Ubuntu, this link should help - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[21:58] <Geier> screenshot?
[21:58] <grandmaneedshelp> wj32: thank you very much. I am setting up a system for my eighty year old grandmother, and the less hassle the better :)
[21:58] <wj32> grandmaneedshelp: actually, that only automatically installs security updates
[21:58] <Guest9194> in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam
[21:59] <soren_schantz> Geier: Do you want a screen shot?
[21:59] <wj32> grandmaneedshelp: so for updates to firefox, etc. it's still manual
[21:59] <Guest9194> it say could not find /dev/dep
[21:59] <grandmaneedshelp> wj32: what about application updates then?
[21:59] <Geier> soren_schantz, yes
[21:59] <soren_schantz> Geier: 2 sek
[21:59] <pyrotix> Gnea: I can read files from the portable hard drive fine. I'd assume that means the cable is fine
[21:59] <Geier> upload it to imageshack or whatever
[21:59] <wj32> Guest9194: it's /dev/dsp isn't it?
[21:59] <cNOOB> How do I copy all the files from one folder (including all folders in that folder) into another folder with the terminal?
[21:59] <SwitchMon44> Hello.  When I try to launch an XFCE session i receive errors as displayed at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/.  I've tried resetting permissions on the /tmp and my home directory, and deleting .ICEauthority file.  Anything else I should do?
[21:59] <wj32> grandmaneedshelp: nope
[21:59] <Guest9194> yes sorry
[21:59] <pkodon> mattbd: The one thing I wonder about is, if I start a KDE session, and I have a game installed that uses another interface, do I need to log out of KDE and log into Gnome or XFCE in order to run that program without problems?
[21:59] <wj32> cNOOB: cp -r [dir] [dest]
[22:00] <zsquareplusc> grandmaneedshelp: you wont get many non security relevant updates anyway.
[22:00] <solid_liq> !ping
[22:00] <mattbd> pkodon: No, all the desktops work pretty well with each other
[22:00] <cNOOB> wj32: Thanks
[22:00] <ikyn_> so I'm trying to run the command "tar xzf drv.tar.gz" but it's telling me that it can't find the file. What am I doing wrong?
[22:00] <nob> hi, i would like to run the ubuntu system that are installed on a partition using the virtual box on windows... is it possible?
[22:01] <Guest9194> yes it is  /dev/dsp
[22:01] <ac3_0f_spad3s> how do you give yourself permanent permission to write in an external drive?
[22:01] <pkodon> mattbd: Okay, that's good, since I'm currently logged into Gnome, and am running Konversation to connect to this server.
[22:01] <wj32> nob: i don't think VirtualBox can run VMs from a physical disk/partition
[22:01] <mattbd> pkodon: However, if you install something for another desktop such as kdegames on Ubuntu, it may have a lot more dependencies than a native game so it takes up more space
[22:01] <mgolisch> nob: no idea, if virtualbox supports raw devices/physical disks
[22:01] <Gnea> pyrotix: well, USB can be unstable at times, plus if it's operating in asyncronous mode, then data corruption can indeed occur. If you have the ability, you should look into internalizing the hard drive
[22:01] <wj32> nob: try VMware - it can d it
[22:01] <soren_schantz> Geier: Now i it just froze, i had to force it to terminate
[22:01] <mgolisch> nob: but the ubuntu shouldnt have too much problems with that which couldnt be solved
[22:01] <Geier> hmm
[22:01] <soren_schantz> Geier: Should i try to reinstall?
[22:01] <DrHalan> is there a effect in compiz when a window gets resized that replaces the boring blue square?
[22:01] <grandmaneedshelp> wj32: I was just inside the firefox update settings and now some of the areas have been greyed out. how can I get root permission inside the firefox settings?
[22:01] <kihbord> nob: virtualbox doesn't support it
[22:02] <jonaskoelker> question: my compose key sequences (in particular space+d => delta) don't work (from neither xterm nor gedit).  stracing an xterm shows that xterm (or xlib, on its behalf, probably) reads .XCompose.  Also, GTK_IM_MODULE=xim.  What gives?
[22:02] <nob> ok, wj32... i will search it... t
[22:02] <Geier> that might be a good idea soren_schantz
[22:02] <SwitchMon44> ikyn_ do you have permissions to access the file?  Try a chmod 777 drv.tar.gz.
[22:02] <nob> tx all
[22:02] <Geier> soren_schantz, how did you install googleearth, anyway?
[22:02] <pkodon> mattbd: I take it that you're talking about it taking up more space because you don't have KDE installed.
[22:02] <wj32> DrHalan: System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager
[22:02] <wj32> DrHalan: filter for "resize"
[22:02] <jackmcbarn> i can only hear through my left speaker on 8.10
[22:02] <mattbd> pkodon: Yes, Gnome and KDE use different widget toolkits so you have to have two installed to use applications from both desktops
[22:03] <cNOOB> How do I delete a folder and all the folders in that folder with the terminal?
[22:03] <jackmcbarn> speaker or headphones
[22:03] <jackmcbarn> still wont work
[22:03] <wj32> cNOOB: rm -r
[22:03] <soren_schantz> Geier: sh the google installer
[22:03] <cNOOB> wj32: Thanks, again.
[22:03] <pkodon> ::nods:: I figgured that would be the case.
[22:03] <DrHalan> wj32: awesome a stretch effect
[22:03] <grandmaneedshelp> zsquareplusc: I was just inside the firefox update settings and now some of the areas have been greyed out. how can I get root permission inside the firefox settings?
[22:03] <soren_schantz> Geier: it's some sheel script i think
[22:03] <wj32> DrHalan: then in General, change Default Resize Mode to Normal
[22:03] <pkodon> mattbd: Thanks.
[22:03] <DrHalan> wj32: thank you very muh :)
[22:03] <pyrotix> Gnea: I'm trying to transfer files on my internal hard drive to a different computer through the portable hard drive. The computer is refusing to transfer a directory to the portable harddrive... do you know a way I can check the portable hard drives integrity?
[22:03] <wj32> DrHalan: well you found it anyway :)
[22:03] <Christian1> Hi, I have a _severe_ problem and need help: I inserted the WinXP CD (original, no SP) and followed setup, until I saw strange info about the harddisk space. So I broke up and rebooted, now the partition seems completly gone!
[22:03] <Geier> soren ok
[22:03] <Guest9194> wj32 yes it is  /dev/dsp
[22:04] <Geier> soren_schantz, try the medibuntu package
[22:04] <zsquareplusc> grandmaneedshelp: firefox iteself is upgraded through the update manager, so the application specific update is disabled
[22:04] <ikyn_> SwitchMon44: That didn't do it - still says that it can't find the file
[22:04] <wj32> Guest9194: well i don't know what you were doing, i just made a correction :)
[22:04] <DrHalan> wj32 the normal is way too slow. I like the way it works in OSX where you have real realtime-resizing
[22:04] <HomingHamster> pyrotix, try HD recovery tools
[22:04] <johninlex> hey anyone know how to build a wireless driver, that could teach me how???
[22:04] <Guest9194> ohh ok
[22:04] <grandmaneedshelp> zsquareplusc: thx... I will leave it be
[22:04] <wj32> DrHalan: yes that's the bad thing about compiz - resizing is so slow
[22:04] <pkodon> I've downloaded PC-OS and Ultimate-Ubuntu, now I just need a DVD burner so I can burn them and try them.
[22:05] <mgolisch> Christian1: did you change something in the bios? like changed the sata controler mode or something?
[22:05] <HomingHamster> pyrotix, windows deletes partition references when you delete them, but won't have had a chance to write over them yet
[22:05] <Christian1> mgolisch: no
[22:05] <DrHalan> wj32 do you know if there are efforts on chaning that?
[22:05] <johninlex> plodon put them on a jump drive
[22:05] <eseven73> pkodon: you can try them in VirtualBox
[22:05] <soren_schantz> Geier: And i just add that do sources.list?  I figured out what I did wrong - thanks though!
[22:05] <wj32> DrHalan: not really
[22:06] <wj32> DrHalan: Compiz is pretty much dead anyway. There's Compiz++
[22:06] <pkodon> johninlex: I don't have one of those, and what is Virtualbox? Would that require a lot of memory?
[22:06] <guntbert> cNOOB: you might want to read something: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
[22:06] <mgolisch> Christian1: but the disks geometry/sizes are reported correctly?
[22:06] <mattbd> pkodon: Virtualbox is virtualisation software
[22:06] <Slart> wj32: oh? new version? or a complete rewrite?
[22:06] <Christian1> mgolisch: I don't know, what to do?
[22:06] <SwitchMon44> When I try to launch an XFCE session i receive errors as displayed at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/.  I've tried resetting permissions on the /tmp and my home directory, and deleting .ICEauthority file.  Anything else I should do?
[22:06] <eseven73> !virtualbox | pkodon
[22:06] <wj32> Slart: well it's a rewrite in C++. you can check at phoronix
[22:06] <mgolisch> Christian1: does gparted show the right size for the disk?
[22:06] <mattbd> pkodon: It lets you run an OS in a virtual machine, and is very easy to use
[22:06] <Christian1> mgolsich: yes
[22:07] <HomingHamster> pyrotix, sorry by that i mean, when you press the D button and it says press "L" or somthing
[22:07] <Guest9194> in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp
[22:07] <cNOOB> guntbert: Okay, thanks!
[22:07] <mattbd> pkodon: Or you could install to a flash drive using UNetBootin
[22:07] <Slart> wj32: ah.. thanks.. sounds interesting
[22:07] <mgolisch> Christian1: do you have something to dump a complete image of the disk to? if not your best bet would be runing testdisk and see if it can resconstruct the partitiontable
[22:07] <wj32> HomingHamster: are you trying to recover partitions or something?
[22:07] <Christian1> mgolisch: okay, I'll try that
[22:07] <pkodon> mattbd: Hmm, well, again, I don't have any flash drives, ATM.
[22:08] <mgolisch> Christian1: it can be installed on the livecd if you have internet, maybe its allready preinstalled, no idea
[22:08] <pyrotix> HomingHamster I think you are trying to help Christian1 not me.
[22:08] <mattbd> pkodon: Ah well, Virtualbox is the way to go as long as you have plenty of memory
[22:08] <HomingHamster> pyrotix, sorry
[22:08] <DrHalan> wj32: wow that sounds pretty neat. Are there repositories for it or so?
[22:08] <HomingHamster> pyrotix, yes i am
[22:08] <wj32> DrHalan: no, it's VERY new
[22:08] <Mallen_> what do you guys think about using the install Ubuntu inside XP feature?
[22:08] <mgolisch> :)
[22:09] <tlanfer> can i somehow do multiple pointer mappings with xmodmap? something like xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2/10 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" ?
[22:09] <pyrotix> Christian1, you probably want to read what HomeHamster has been saying :)
[22:09] <mgolisch> Mallen_: wubi? for testdriving thats ok for sure
[22:09] <Geier> Mallen_, it's quite ok
[22:09] <ebaby> have a newbie question on getting 8.10 to run on an everex stepnote NC1502.
[22:09] <Geier> i used it on my age-old laptop
[22:09] <wj32> ebaby: ask your question
[22:09] <mgolisch> Mallen_: but i wouldnt recommend it for anything else
[22:09] <pkodon> mattbd: I may invest in some, though, since my brother-in-law and I have a computer business, and I'm learning Linux so we can work on Linux machines. Having different Linux distros on Jump Drives sounds like a good way to install them on customer's computers.
[22:09] <Mallen_> yea i have a ubuntu machine
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> yo yo y
[22:10] <Mallen_> my xp machine is for gaming i was curious
[22:10] <ebaby> there seems to be a problem getting the graphics to load. Used the 8.10 live CD had to ask it to run in safe graphics mode
[22:10] <wj32> ebaby: what graphics card
[22:10] <wj32> ebaby: (please not intel)
[22:10] <eth01> anybody got the ar5007eg?
[22:10] <[TiZ]> Hi. I'm shrinking a 64GB fat32 partition on my brother's computer to 52GB so I can install ubuntu on it. How long should I expect it to take? I'm using GParted, and it doesn't give even a progress meter.
[22:10] <mattbd> pkodon: Yes, it can be handy. UNetbootin is a really good way of running Linux from a flash drive without the need to burn a CD
[22:10] <soren_schantz> Geier: This take some time, it's take about 20 min
[22:11] <wj32> [TiZ]: I once moved my 120GB XFS partition and it took 12 hours
[22:11] <Geier> soren_schantz, alright i'll be here
[22:11] <Guest9194> anyone pls help
[22:11] <ebaby> via chrome 9 hci
[22:11] <Slart> [TiZ]: I wouldn't start worrying until it's been an hour or so
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: takes a fair while
[22:11] <[TiZ]> wj32: Holy cow! O_O
[22:11] <Guest9194> in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp
[22:11] <wj32> [TiZ]: just don't try to cancel it - if you do you're completely f'ed
[22:11] <mgolisch> it heavily depends on how clean the filesystem, and how much free space is there and if its fragmented or not [TiZ]
[22:12] <ebaby> i Meant via chrome9 hc igp
[22:12] <mgolisch> [TiZ]: also i hope theres nothing essential on that, unless you have backups
[22:12] <mgolisch> :)
[22:12] <pkodon> BTW, I have a friend who  installed Ubuntu on his Vista machine as a virtual installation (10GB file on Windows), and wanted to know how to view files on his Windows HD. He wanted access to his mp3 collection.
[22:12] <pkodon> I had experience with a QNX installation like that, but not Linux.
[22:12] <wj32> ebaby: i think you should just install ubuntu. does it install correctly?
[22:12] <mattbd> pkodon: Do you know what virtualisation software he used?
[22:12] <amorphous> Could any of you guys suggest a way for me to get the £ sign back on my keyboard? I'm using UK layout, it shoud be 'SHIFT+3' but all I get is a 3. It's been like it for a while, but now I'm needing it back and I can't find a way to get it :)
[22:12] <mgolisch> pkodon: wubi? if yes, from withing the wubi ubuntu install the hosts drive should be accessible via /host
[22:12] <Pirate_Hunter> !flash
[22:13] <ebaby> this is my second time around doing the install. It installs but after reboot there are graphic gobbledey gook
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> pkodon: if ubuntu is the guest machine, you can map network drives using the ip address or config the VM to access the local folder as a drive
[22:13] <[TiZ]> wj32, Slart, ActionParsnip, thanks. I've shrunk partitions before, but I used to use BootIt NG. I figure GParted would be a better way.
[22:13] <pkodon> mattbd: No, I don't even know which version he got.
[22:13] <SJrX> I have an Intel 3945 abg Card built into my notebook. The module is installed and loaded, and I see it referenced in the messages, however for some reason it never gets assigned a device name. In dmesg for instance I see, that the WiFi switch is off, and that it has 11 b and 13 a channels available.
[22:13] <mgolisch> or virtualisation software
[22:13] <[TiZ]> mgolisch: It's probably somewhat fragmented. Thanks for your concern, luckily everything he has, I have too. Except for, like, school papers. :P
[22:13] <mgolisch> :()
[22:13] <IrishDavid> where does ubuntu install source packages to? I have just installed gspca-source but cant find it
[22:13] <wj32> amorphous: System > Preferences > Keyboard?
[22:13] <ebaby> not sure what you mean by "just Ubuntu"
[22:13] <wj32> IrishDavid: /usr/src
[22:13] <humphrey> hello. anyone know how i find out if i need a bios upgrade? i think i do...
[22:13] <mattbd> pkodon: It's simple to do using Virtualbox - you'd install the Guest Additions
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> SJrX: does it show up in ifconfig ?
[22:13] <SJrX> Nevermind I'm an idiot, no
[22:14] <IrishDavid> wj32: I thought that but i cant find the source files...
[22:14] <wj32> IrishDavid: and if you're ever unsure of where packages install files to, you can right click the package and click properties
[22:14] <SJrX> It's under wlan0 :)
[22:14] <IrishDavid> wj32: just found it, it's in a tar...
[22:14] <Slart> humphrey: you check what bios you have.. then you look at the new bios release notes and see if anything has been changed that you need
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> SJrX: does sudo iwlist scan show SSIDs?
[22:14] <pkodon> mattbd:
[22:14] <wj32> IrishDavid: in synaptic, right click the package
[22:14] <SJrX> I found it, iwconfig shows it
[22:14] <Geier> ActionParsnip, yes
[22:14] <humphrey> how do i check what version bios i have?
[22:14] <wj32> IrishDavid: oh you mean the source tar is in /usr/src?
[22:14] <amorphous> wj32, nice, but i've been through that. I have it as a default UK keyboard, everything's ok, except that one symbol :/
[22:14] <ebaby> for example right now I am at step 7 of 7 on the 8.10 disc
[22:14] <Pirate_Hunter> ive got flash non-free installed yet I cant seem to see sites like youtube
[22:14] <rgnr> help!!!
[22:15] <the> :)
[22:15] <Slart> humphrey: it depends on manufacturer etc.. it's usually displayed during boot..
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> SJrX: then its working
[22:15] <Slart> humphrey: at the very very beginning of a cold boot
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Geier: sup?
[22:15] <rgnr> Error. Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtkglext1
[22:15] <wj32> rgnr: what problem are you having?
[22:15] <mgolisch> humphrey: dmidecode might tell you, otherwise reboot and lookup at the bios initialisation messages, it should print the bios version too
[22:15] <mattbd> pkodon: and then you'd share the folder on the network in Windows, then in the virtual Ubuntu click Places>Connect to Server
[22:15] <pkodon> mattbd: Well, I don't know, I have yet to find out what he's done now, as he got an Ubuntu CD in the mail yesterday, and it sounded like he was going to install that last night. I've heard nothing from him since then.
[22:15] <SJrX> Yeah thanks, ActionParsnip
[22:15] <ebaby> usually after this it will reboot into a dark monitor even though full display during install
[22:15] <wj32> rgnr: what package are you trying to install
[22:15] <rgnr> wj32: psx
[22:15] <Geier> ActionParsnip, disregard that, i misunderstood you
[22:15] <rgnr> wj32: psx32
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> Geier: np bro
[22:16] <the_geremy> hi
[22:16] <mattbd> pkodon: Virtualbox is usually the easiest way to create virtual machines for beginners, but VMWare is popular too
[22:16] <wj32> rgnr: what is it? it's not in the official repositories
[22:16] <[TiZ]> One more thing: My mom's crappy crappy crappy computer is trying to run Windows XP, and isn't doing a very good job of it. It's a Pentium II, 128MB RAM, and an NVidia TNT Riva. Or something like that. I was thinking of installing Xubuntu on it. Do you think the computer will be able to handle it?
[22:16] <ebaby> wj32: I am wondering if I am supposed to male sure boot loader is installed or not have it install
[22:16] <mattbd> TiZ: Maybe, but I think it might struggle a bit
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: easily, yes
[22:17] <wj32> ebaby: have you just installed ubuntu?
[22:17] <usr13> [TiZ]: Is it 500MHz  ?
[22:17] <mattbd> Tiz: gOS Gadgets might be a bit lighter
[22:17] <Pirate_Hunter> ive got flash non-free installed yet I cant seem to see sites like youtube, is there a fix for this?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: if you can, try find a P3 to upgrade if the socket wil take it, P2 is a garbage cpu
[22:17] <tschaka> [TiZ] u might also wanna check out ubuntu with lxce, needs a bit less resources. xfce should do the job tho, however.
[22:17] <[TiZ]> Struggling a bit is better than struggling for its life. Thank you mattbd, ActionParsnip.
[22:17] <ebaby> wj32: I'm at step 7 of 7 geting ready to finish (for the second time)
[22:17] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: did you restart your browser?
[22:17] <pkodon> mattbd: Well, he's got 4GB of RAM to play with, but Vista uses a lot of that. Me, I'm using an older machine, with an older graphics card and a conglomeration of memory adding up to something like 320M, so I think VirtualBox is out for me.
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: P1 are awesome and P3 are great, P2 is nasty
[22:17] <wj32> ebaby: how many hard drives do you have?
[22:18] <[TiZ]> We don't have the resources to get a new processor for a moment, unfortunately. :(
[22:18] <[TiZ]> at the moment*
[22:18] <usr13> [TiZ]: It won't be fast, but will be reliable.
[22:18] <Slart> [TiZ]: it depends on what you want to torture it with.. but running abiword, gnumeric and xfce might just work nicely
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: i'd whack some SDRAM in it if yuo can, it'll help
[22:18] <richard> in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp
[22:18] <mattbd> pkodon: Yes, that's a bit low for Virtualbox sadly
[22:18] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: yup
[22:18] <tschaka> [TiZ] as browser maybe use epiphany-browser :)
[22:18] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: Let me put it this way: We're broke. :P
[22:18] <Slart> [TiZ]: I run xubuntu on my mini-itx board.. those are kind of slow (but still modern so it might not be comparable)
[22:18] <[TiZ]> I was thinking of using Kazehakase. Would that do well?
[22:18] <ebaby> wj32: something is happening after the reboot causing graphics not to display properly (1 hard drive) stepnote nc1502 1.5 ghz 1.4gb ram
[22:18] <usr13> [TiZ]: Not fast, but do-able
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: not got like 5 quid for some cheapo ram
[22:19] <humphrey> Slart & mgolisch: dmidecode says "SMBIOS 2.2" and says the release date is 1999!
[22:19] <tschaka> [TiZ] http://www.lxde.org/ :)
[22:19] <mattbd> TiZ: Midori is OK as a fast light browser
[22:19] <wj32> ebaby: what graphics card is it
[22:19] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: what doesnt work? just a grey field instaed of the flash video player? try hitting f5 and see if that works
[22:19] <rgnr> wj32: nope
[22:19] <Slart> humphrey: then continue on the list of things I told you
[22:19] <Guest69133> in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp
[22:19] <[TiZ]> Wow, thanks for all the overwhelming assistance, guys. :D
[22:19] <Slart> humphrey: old doesn't have to mean bad
[22:19] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: nah just flash is not installed jibberish which i know it is
[22:19] <ebaby> wj32: via chrome9 hc igp
[22:19] <Guest69133> anyone can help
[22:19] <mgolisch> Guest69133: stop repeating, that annoying
[22:19] <wj32> ebaby: oh you told me already
[22:19] <[TiZ]> I'll focus on my brother's computer for now, and if he does well with it, then I'll start considering options for mom. Thanks, guys! :D
[22:20] <pkodon> mattbd: Riva TNT2 is the graphics card, so a lot of the fancy TNL, OpenGL and DirectX9+ stuff isn't supported.
[22:20] <Guest69133> ok sorry
[22:20] <humphrey> i see, thankyou
[22:20] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: what browser do you use? and how did you install flash? also make sure you didnt disable javascript, youtube will fail to detect the flash player if you do so
[22:20] <amorphous> no-one have any ideas on where my £ sign may have gone to???
[22:20] <pkodon> (Or is that T&L?)
[22:20] <[TiZ]> Both acronyms are used.
[22:20] <mattbd> pkodon: Have you considered using OpenGEU? That uses the Enlightenment desktop
[22:20] <Slart> Guest69133: just ask your question.. if noone answers repeat, but wait at least 5 minutes before repeating
[22:21] <ebaby> wj32: that's ok but I'm not convinced it is the card as when I was given it it was running Edubuntu & as I said problems come AFTER install/reboot
[22:21] <[TiZ]> T&L, TNL. Both are accepted.
[22:21] <wj32> ebaby: aside from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504849 i don't know
[22:21] <wj32> ebaby: apparently there's just not enough support for it
[22:21] <mgolisch> Guest69133: your best bet is identifying the webcam and search on google if someone managed to get it working with the version of ubuntu you use
[22:21] <pkodon> mattbd: Is that an Ubuntu-based distro?
[22:21] <Slart> Guest69133: saying things like "anyone?" won't help you much.. just repeat the entire question.. use the time to google or search the forums
[22:21] <danes_> hello, i have a gps device that has a usb connector, but it includes an internal serial adapter, the problem is that i do not know the specs on the device. is there any way to know the specs on it?
[22:21] <mattbd> pkodon: Yes, link is here - http://opengeu.intilinux.com/Home.html
[22:22] <mgolisch> danes_: lsusb? then google for whatever it displays?
[22:22] <mattbd> pkodon: Enlightenment looks very nice, but is lighter even than Xfce
[22:22] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: FF through synaptic
[22:22] <ebaby> wj32: I'm wondering if there are some commands that can force it to keep whatever it is using during the install because the GUI is all right here in front of me during install
[22:22] <danes_> i did a lsusb and got this Bus 002 Device 004: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
[22:22] <Guest69133> thk you very helpfull
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> mattbd: theres always fluxbox too
[22:22] <wj32> ebaby: you mean the resolution's too small when you reboot?
[22:22] <pkodon> mattbd: Okay, thanks, I'll look it up. Perhaps there is a package to add it to the list of choices at bootup.
[22:22] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: do you use addblockplus or noscript? they might make youtube not work
[22:22] <zsquareplusc> danes_: check out gpsbabel they probably have a device list or hints on their website. if its a garmin modprobe sudo garmin-gps might help
[22:23] <ccvp> hello all
[22:23] <rgnr> wj32: that's why i need hlp
[22:23] <omny_devi> if you are trying to install flash on a 64 bit os, i found an awesome link, worked just fine for me
[22:23] <mattbd> ActionParsnip: Yes, I like Fluxbox, and IceWM is pretty good too
[22:23] <wj32> ebaby: ok, open a terminal window
[22:23] <ccvp> this is from ubuntus website:
[22:23] <ccvp> 32bit version: This works with most computers
[22:23] <ccvp> 64bit version: May provide additional capabilities to computers that are able to use 64bit software
[22:23] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: nope not at all
[22:23] <zsquareplusc> danes_: ah, so the serial port is already there. then just try gpsbabel :-)
[22:23] <ccvp> i have a 64bit quad core processor, 6gig ddr etc.....
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> mattbd: all are lightweigh and good on low end systems
[22:23] <ccvp> i use vista 64 now, but if i put ubuntu 64bit on
[22:24] <ccvp> what are the "extra features" i get?
[22:24] <ccvp> as it states?
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> mattbd: install X server and fluxbox and you got a riproaring system
[22:24] <zsquareplusc> !enter > ccvp
[22:24] <ebaby> wj32: no there is NO resolution. a few squiggly lines of grey matter float by & you can tell that it is trying to config the graphics but it cant
[22:24] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: check firefox settings to see if it actualy lists the flash player as installed addon/extension
[22:24] <mattbd> pkodon: I think there is a package for the OpenGEU desktop but not in Ubuntu by default, don't install the version of Enlightenment in the repositories for that
[22:24] <jtaji> ccvp: using more than 4GB ram mainly
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: extra compared to what?
[22:24] <ccvp> dunno
[22:24] <ccvp> ubuntu website simply says:
[22:24] <zsquareplusc> ccvp: if you want to haev a good use of your 6GB, the 64 bit edition might be suitable for you
[22:24] <ccvp> 32bit version: This works with most computers
[22:24] <ccvp> 64bit version: May provide additional capabilities to computers that are able to use 64bit software
[22:24] <wj32> ebaby: ok, so if you've just rebooted, press Ctrl+Alt+F1
[22:24] <FloodBot2> ccvp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:24] <wj32> ebaby: then login
[22:25] <mattbd> ActionParsnip: Xmonad is good but too hard for me to configure!
[22:25] <ebaby> wj32: supernewb here - I am the step 7 of 7. before I do that i should finish the install right?
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: well the apps are exactly the same, they can just use 64bit hardware and more than 4Gb RAM
[22:25] <Slart> ccvp: the big noticable thing is that is can handle more then 4GB memory without usnig PAE
[22:25] <wj32> ebaby: ok so you haven't finished yet. good. open a terminal window
[22:25] <ccvp> hmmm
[22:25] <omny_devi> 64 bit means you can use more than 4gb ram. 32 means if you have 1 billion gb of ram, you will get to you around 3.5gb or so
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: it also makes conversions and encoding much smoother as more info can be read at once
[22:25] <Slart> ccvp: you won't need goggles or a helmet to handle the speed.. it will be about the same
[22:25] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: ok one sec
[22:25] <wj32> ebaby: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[22:26] <BULLE> omny_devi: not realy true if you take PAE into account
[22:26] <ebaby> wj32: sorry I am not aware how to do that. plz explain
[22:26] <ccvp> whats up w/ "fedora" trying to make waves in the community now, some say fedora 10 rivals ubuntu?
[22:26] <ccvp> is this some joke?
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: I think you should look at what 64bit computing can provide over 32bit and what it actually means
[22:26] <Slart> ccvp: some special stuff might be a little faster.. math stuff mostly afaik, encryption and such
[22:26] <mempho> Hello, i have installed ubuntu server edition, and cant boot it up, could someone help me with the problem? msg me
[22:26] <Pirate_Hunter> nope nothing there in about:plugins
[22:26] <the_geremy> hi when i push alt+F2 and write compiz and push enter what must happen after? some window come up or?
[22:26] <wj32> ebaby: ok, here's a different way: press Alt+F2, type gksu "nautilus --no-desktop", press enter
[22:26] <Slart> !doesntwork | mempho
[22:26] <ccvp> my pc is pretty quick w/ vista 64..........the only reason i use windows
[22:26] <ccvp> is because of "warhammer online"
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: they arent rivals. If fedora suits your needs, use it, if ubuntu suits them better, use it
[22:27] <magnus0> the_geremy: compiz starts as a windows manager then
[22:27] <mattbd> the_geremy: I think you need to put compiz --replace
[22:27] <omny_devi> yeah, i just recently switched from xp to ubuntu. cedega rocks :D
[22:27] <BULLE> ccvp: use what you find satisifes your needs, let others use what they find satisifes theirs
[22:27] <BULLE> ccvp: as simple as that
[22:27] <magnus0> the_geremy: you may want to use compiz --replace
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: I use a vast array of distros as each one has strengths which I use
[22:27] <ebaby> the only thing open are firefox and the ubuntu installer window
[22:27] <Slart> ccvp: well.. not to sound bitter but I think warhammer might works just a bad in wine as it does in windows.. ;)
[22:27] <ebaby> alt+F2 doesnt produce anything
[22:27] <wj32> ebaby: press Alt+F2\
[22:27] <ccvp> its not optimized
[22:27] <the_geremy> thanks i try
[22:27] <ccvp> like WoW is...........blizzard has tons of $$$ for good software engineers
[22:27] <wj32> ebaby: interesting... go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: I have ubuntu installed but I use mandriva more as well as gentoo on my fileserver
[22:28] <pyrotix> How do I check a storage devices integrity?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: WoW plays awesome on Linux with wine
[22:28] <goianousa> alguem pode me ajudar
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | pyrotix
[22:28] <wj32> pyrotix: S.M.A.R.T.?
[22:28] <guntbert> !pt | goianousa
[22:28] <ebaby> wj32: there are no desktop icons etc just the last window of install and firefox browser window
[22:28] <Pirate_Hunter> how can i get flash to work it is installed but not being see by firefox?
[22:28] <the_geremy> how do i configure compiz?
[22:28] <goianousa> brigado
[22:28] <wj32> ebaby: oh I see what you mean
[22:28] <mattbd> ccvp: It's surprising how well some games work in Wine. I got Homeworld 2 working in it which doesn't seem to work at all in Vista
[22:28] <ccvp> oh, i also use tversity........i stream divx movies etc.......on my vista 64 pc to my HDTV.....my xbox360 accesses the media on the pc.......over wireless N...its pretty slick setup... I use an app called Tversity, has a webserver too.....access the media on my iphone which is wifi'd into the home network
[22:28] <wj32> ebaby: press Ctrl+Alt+F1
[22:28] <ccvp> is there a similar app that can do all that on ubuntu?
[22:29] <wj32> ebaby: then log in
[22:29] <magnus0> Pirate_Hunter: open terminal and type: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[22:29] <guntbert> !ot | ccvp
[22:29] <ccvp> if so, i may cut 100% raw over and format
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: create a symlink to the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[22:29] <bastid_raZor> !ccsm > the_geremy
[22:29] <mattbd> the_geremy: Install compizconfig-settings-manager
[22:29] <mempho> After i have installed ubuntu, and when im going to boot it, the screen just show many numbers/words who updates fast so i cant see what the error is, can someone help me?
[22:29] <Slart> ccvp: I don't really know for sure but I'm guessing that playing with your iphone in ubuntu might be hard..
[22:29] <ebaby> shall I finish the install first?
[22:29] <ccvp> tversity is tight, but i dont think they have an installer
[22:29] <ccvp> for linux
[22:29] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: you probably did something wrong, or the install failed, it actualy downlaods the thing from adobe, maybe that can fail silently
[22:29] <magnus0> the_geremy: install compiz settings manager, search it from synaptic
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: you can share the folder in ubuntu with samba and will be accessible by any system
[22:30] <wj32> ebaby: no
[22:30] <mattbd> ccvp: I think you need to jailbreak your iPhone to use it with Ubuntu
[22:30] <ccvp> action yes, but tversity transcodes
[22:30] <ccvp> like 100 formats on the fly in real time
[22:30] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: id suggest reinstalling using apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree and see if something screws up
[22:30] <tmckinley> I am trying to install a program downloaded from the internet and I keep getting the following message," Please close the other application e.g. Update Manager,aptitude, or synaptic first."   The only programs that are open are Firefox and the package installer.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> magnus0: the_geremy: sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager
[22:30] <pyrotix> ActionParsnip: what about if it is in NTFS?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> magnus0: no need for synaptic, too slow
[22:30] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: ok
[22:30] <ebaby> yikes - dark screen and grey fuzz
[22:30] <djcip> ok - how do i get the GDBM_File module installed in perl in ubuntu because atm the current binaries for perl 5.10.0 do not have the module compiled...
[22:30] <magnus0> tmckinley: close the package installer then, that's the problem
[22:30] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip: ok wil try that as well
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> pyrotix: you can share any mounted partition
[22:30] <wj32> tmckinley: if you're really sure, open terminal window and you can remove the lock
[22:31] <ulaas> hi, will intrepid ever get 2.6.28 love?
[22:31] <ethan> hey does anyone know how to find out if your firewall is enabled?
[22:31] <ebaby> wj32: is there an undo for that command?
[22:31] <ccvp> mattbd....no...on my iphone.....I HTTP into a webserver running on my Vista pc............i can then browse movies stored on my pc...through the iphone, on the safari web browser...i click the movie and it plays...........
[22:31] <magnus0> ActionParsnip: I just didn't knew the package name, i woudl've used apt-get as well
[22:31] <pyrotix> ActionParsnip: we were talking about using fsck :)
[22:31] <ccvp> im just mad theres no application that does this which works on linux
[22:31] <Slart> ethan: sudo iptables -L might give you some clue
[22:31] <ethan> i got a blackscreen logging in that siad my firewall was not enabled?
[22:31] <wj32> ebaby: well, i needed you to do that so you could log in and use a terminal
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> magnus0: you can tab complete package names too ;)
[22:31] <wj32> ebaby: Ctrl+Alt+F7
[22:31] <Slart> ethan: if it just three headers, and it says POLICY ACCEPT it's probably not doing anything
[22:31] <mattbd> ccvp: You can get TouchTerm and install OpenSSH on your computer
[22:32] <mattbd> ccvp: So you could then access your PC via SSH
[22:32] <magnus0> ActionParsnip: great tip :)
[22:32] <e|m|c> Hi Ash.
[22:32] <ccvp> mattbd, i dont spam but the app i use is: tversity.co m
[22:32] <ethan> slart: it says 3 headers and policy accept, so that measn its off?
[22:32] <wj32> ebaby: sorry, if your computer can't get into the first VT, I can't really help you. I have to go now :(
[22:32] <e|m|c> kekekeke
[22:32] <ccvp> sadly its win installer only
[22:32] <ebaby> wj32: ok back to where i was with that last command e.g. installer window + FF window
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: theres xbmc
[22:32] <mempho> After i installed Ubuntu server edition, and when i boot it up it says that i need to reboot and select proper boot device, please help!
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: you can add repos for it and install it, it not bad
[22:33] <Slart> ethan: well.. no.. it's still on.. but without any rules it won't do anything.. so for all practical reasons it's off
[22:33] <ccvp> that can do the same thing
[22:33] <ccvp> as tversity
[22:33] <ebaby> any commands to use during the reboot to force the graphics
[22:33] <ccvp> installs on linux?
[22:33] <getbit> how to use BlackBerry with Ubuntu? like: installing software, backup address book...?
[22:33] <Ash_> so need to know question
[22:33] <ccvp> whats it called?
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: a near identical app may well exist, you just havent found it
[22:33] <ccvp> never heard of it
[22:33] <usr13> mempho: Sounds like grub got miss-configured
[22:33] <ethan> slart:?
[22:33] <BULLE> ccvp: afaik tversity is just an upnp server, nothing more, there are such for linux, myth has some of the functionality, paired with a web interface and streaming capabilities
[22:33] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: yup it didnt install there was a mismatch in the md5 how do i fix it or froce it to install
[22:33] <magnus0> getbit: try with gammu
[22:33] <ccvp> does it transcode stream on the fly?
[22:34] <the_squircle> Ash_: how can we help?
[22:34] <ccvp> multiple codecs?
[22:34] <Slart> ethan: the firewall is always on.. but without any firewall rules it won't do anything
[22:34] <MELISSA1> hi
[22:34] <Ash_> on the ubuntu livecd. does it limit you to their website in firefox and prevent you from going to other sites? like the mandriva liveCD
[22:34] <the_squircle> !hello | MELISSA1
[22:34] <CarolinaSwamp> is there a way to redirect stdout to a file and also keep it on the terminal?  ie ./myprocess > outfile.txt but i also want to see the output still displayed in the terminal
[22:34] <zsquareplusc> CarolinaSwamp: use tee
[22:34] <CarolinaSwamp> zsquareplusc: thanks
[22:34] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: whats the error you get?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | ccvp
[22:34] <BULLE> ccvp: not sure about that, as in linux generaly you have suport for all codecs, so you tend not to care about those
[22:34] <magnus0> Ash_: no, why should they do that?
[22:34] <ethan> slart: how do i change that because i think i got a bug called "soft lockup" and i have trouble logging on and it gives random power downs
[22:34] <getbit> magnus0: is it in the official repo?
[22:34] <the_geremy> thanks
[22:34] <ethan> slart: how do i fix this?
[22:34] <magnus0> getbit: yes
[22:34] <mgolisch> Pirate_Hunter: maybe paste it on some noapste service
[22:34] <usr13> Ash_: No.  And don't know of any live CD that does that.
[22:35] <ebaby> anyone know whether I should make sure boot loader is installed using 8.10 on stepnote nc1502
[22:35] <ccvp> action, is this it?
[22:35] <ccvp> http://xbmc.org/
[22:35] <CarolinaSwamp> zsquareplusc: would i pipe into tee? ie ./myprocess | tee myfile.out
[22:35] <Ash_> no idea you tell me why i cant go to google on my mandriva liveCD
[22:35] <Slart> ethan: I very much doubt that the firewall is causing that.. what happens when this bug occurs?
[22:35] <Ash_> its connected to the internet
[22:35] <zsquareplusc> CarolinaSwamp: exactly
[22:35] <Ash_> ive double checked and tripple checked
[22:35] <Ash_> it will go to mandriva's website but wont go to any other site
[22:35] <rccu> check at least 10 times
[22:35] <levidos> pls help: can i simply resize an ext3 partition and move the linux swap partition to the end of the disk with gparted? will my computer boot?
[22:35] <usr13> Ash_: When you type www.google.com  into the address bar, what happens?
[22:35] <magnus0> Ash_: strange
[22:36] <ethan> slart: well it wont logg on when ubuntu is starting up it will load half way and then go a blakc screen that syas warning, and then gives a bunch of stuff about modprobe
[22:36] <ccvp> wow
[22:36] <Geier> Ash_, ping www.google.com ?
[22:36] <Ash_> cannot find host
[22:36] <e|m|c> Ash Ketchum?
[22:36] <Ash_> i did ping google
[22:36] <ccvp> it does everything that tversity can
[22:36] <the_squircle> Ash_: this is ubuntu support, not mandriva support. You can go to #mandriva for mandriva support
[22:36] <ccvp> it seems
[22:36] <ebaby> trying to get it to start up and display as it did during install - anyone?
[22:36] <Geier> seems like a routing problem
[22:36] <ccvp> weird i never heard of it
[22:36] <ethan> slart: and also last night i had a random power down out of no where
[22:36] <Ash_> and all packets sent
[22:36] <usr13> Ash_: You have network problem.
[22:36] <Slart> ethan: and that bunch of stuff is?
[22:36] <BULLE> ccvp xbmc and mythtv are two VERY well known solutions
[22:36] <usr13> Ash_: Not a browser problem
[22:36] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: http://pastebin.ca/1299250
[22:36] <ethan> slart: the whole page is differetn each time i logg on
[22:36] <ccvp> ok, so which of the two rivals tversity
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: i'd research linux apps that will do what you need
[22:36] <BULLE> ccvp: they havce been around for years
[22:36] <ccvp> better?
[22:36] <Ash_> i dont want support for mandriva, i want to know if theres a damn distro that works when you plug it in -_-
[22:36] <BULLE> ccvp: no idea, never used tversity
[22:36] <zsquareplusc> levidos: if you just move and the device names stay the same you usualy have no probelms. if you delete and recreate you might need to check grub/menu.list and /etc/fstab.
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: theres no such thing as better or best
[22:37] <ccvp> bulle,,,,,,, this is all i do with it......
[22:37] <the_squircle> Ash_: Use Ubuntu :)
[22:37] <usr13> Ash_: You have a network problem
[22:37] <magnus0> Ash_: try looking at /etc/hosts, maybe they've blocked something there
[22:37] <mattbd> ccvp: Try a few and see which you prefer
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: its all individual so one person may say something is better then someone could say its garbage
[22:37] <ethan> slart: but the very last time i had a message that siad "firewall not enabled" and also a thing that said "bug:soft lock up" computer is locked for 61s "
[22:37] <the_squircle> Ash_: You have a problem; you're using Mandriva.
[22:37] <Ash_> i got knoppix to work fine, but it cant connect to my external monitor
[22:37] <ccvp> I have about 2,000+ divx movies...all avi's on my PC..............i simply want to browse them from my xbox360.........which i can do w/ tversity, simply choose which movie....play...and it transcodes/streams over wirelesS on on the fly
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: just like their is no "best" operating system
[22:37] <ethan> slart: and it ahppeend like three times logging on
[22:37] <usr13> Ash_: If you get connected to the network properly the browser will work.
[22:37] <ccvp> if xbmc can do this.....................ill format and put ubuntu 64 on
[22:37] <mempho> !PM
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> ccvp: then go see what it can do
[22:37] <hid_> Im using lm-sensors on my WD HDDs it says the temp is 60C that cant be rigth ?
[22:38] <levidos> thanx zsquareplusc...  i have an ntfs partition i want to delete and resize my ext3 one to fit the entire disk
[22:38] <the_squircle> Ash_: if you want to discuss the best distros and that stuff, there's ##linux ...
[22:38] <magnus0> hid_: what processor do you have?
[22:38] <ziroday> ccvp: XBMC and Mediatomb can both do that.
[22:38] <Ash_> they are being r-tards in the linux channel
[22:38] <shovi_> in gedit, it keeps making all these files with ~ on it, like if im working on Index.php it will make Index.php~, can i stop it from doing this
[22:38] <mattbd> ccvp: So really all you need is a media server
[22:38] <usr13> Ash_: Are  you using a wireless NIC to connect to your LAN?
[22:38] <the_squircle> Ash_: not surprised.
[22:38] <hid_> magnus: AMD Athlon
[22:38] <ziroday> hid_: why not?
[22:38] <Ash_> yep
[22:38] <magnus0> shovi_: it's a backup file from previous version
[22:38] <Ash_> wifi
[22:38] <Slart> ethan: I've never heard of that before.. can you run the live cd ?
[22:38] <ebaby> ubottu: was that directed to me as I am new here and not sure of the protocols
[22:38] <shovi_> can i make it not do that, magnus0
[22:38] <hid_> Ziroday: it doesnt feel like 60C hehe
[22:38] <Pirate_Hunter> mgolisch: can you suggest something?
[22:38] <Ash_> i really hate gnome thouh >.<
[22:38] <usr13> Ash_: Try wired connection and you will have better luck.
[22:38] <jtaji> shovi_: there's an option in it's preferences to create backup copies before saving, uncheck it
