[00:00] <koshari>  Bert_2 its there so if you move a disc the number goes with it, inlike the dev/sd** listing which if a location where the bios sees the disc
[00:00] <dustrial> mlLK:  what do you want to do with VM? there will be no 3d graphics as far as you dont have leapard mac OS
[00:00] <Bert_2> ikonia: check this, sda3 is the original, sdb6 is the copy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31057/
[00:00] <mlLK> dustrial, well right i know; more of just a solution to dual-booting alll the time
[00:00] <nelson_> buenas
[00:00] <nelson_> alguien me puede decir que puedo instalar
[00:01] <ikonia> Bert_2: stunningly bad
[00:01] <mlLK> dustrial, so games are outta the question?
[00:01] <nelson_> para ver videos en ubuntu
[00:01] <mlLK> dustrial, while running as a guest
[00:01] <Bert_2> ikonia: it's really odd
[00:01] <koshari> Bert_2 wtf 8 parttiions?
[00:01] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: indeed, the impact of using spaces in filenames even convinces terminal apps in linux to try to live with them ..
[00:01] <ikonia> koshari: can you calm it down please - we know what "wtf" means and we dont need to see it
[00:01] <dustrial> mlLK:  as far as they need direct X they will not run in VM !!
[00:01] <koshari> mlLK vm is not a good solution for gaming
[00:02] <nvrpunk> how do I upgrade all packages?
[00:02] <nvrpunk> not dist-upgrade
[00:02] <nvrpunk> like upgrade all old versions to new ones etv
[00:02] <mlLK> koshari, dustrial ya wine seems to cover it pretty well
[00:02] <Flannel> nvrpunk: You want to be up to date with the repo, right?
[00:02] <rconan> hey guys, I'm having some wierd boot problems
[00:02] <mlLK> koshari, dustrial haven't really ventured there yet tho
[00:02] <elexodus__> ikonia: Ok, I swapped back to the default file. start/stop/restarted the server. then performed a syntax check on proftpd.config. This is what I got: http://pastebin.ca/1084676
[00:02] <neothecat> in Heron, whenever i try to mount a ufs partition, it says unknown type, and even "depmod ufs" says it can't find the module, even though it exists?
[00:02] <nvrpunk> Flannel: yeah after apt-get update
[00:03] <Flannel> nvrpunk: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:03] <koshari> mlLK i have found wine very hit and miss, some apps are really good, some not so,
[00:03] <rconan> my root is lvm2 within dmcrypt/luks and I have a nvidia dmraid as well. When I install dmraid and do update-initramfs it wont recognise the key for the dmcrypt/luks bootup authentication
[00:03] <ikonia> elexodus__: ok - so it can't get an IP address when it trys to resolve your server hostname
[00:03] <elexodus__> ???
[00:03] <ikonia> elexodus__: what part of that is not clear ?
[00:04] <nvrpunk> Flannel: apt-get dist-upgrade updates all older packages?
[00:04] <mlLK> koshari, i'm only running 80gigs and dual-booting was just a waste of time for school work
[00:04] <lexeaus> Hi all
[00:04] <elexodus__> everything is setup properly. How do I get it to resolve my hostname?
[00:04] <Flannel> nvrpunk: yes
[00:04] <elexodus__> ikonia, everything is setup properly. How do I get it to resolve my hostname?
[00:04] <ikonia> elexodus__: have you setup DNS ?
[00:05] <lexeaus> i got a question, why i cant enabled the visual effects ? im running ubuntu at vmware ... can someone help me please ?
[00:05] <lexeaus> -ed
[00:05] <thrashy> Hey I accidentally removed the wifi manager icon from my top panel, I've tried searching for it to re-add it but I can't find it. Does anyone know where to find it or what its name is?
[00:05] <clayg> if i want to copy my home directory to my ipod, can i just drag the folder over to it or do i need to issue some special command to  make sure no hiddens are left behind?
[00:05] <mlLK> koshari, it sucks cuz i have all sorts of space on my desktop, but always get my laptop the way i want everything setup
[00:05] <koshari> mlLK i guess if you were seeking a VM solution using windows as a host and ubuntu as guest may be viable,
[00:05] <ikonia> lexeaus: vmware doesn't have a good direct hardware interaction
[00:05] <elexodus__> ikonia, found it: MasqueradeAddress
[00:05] <ikonia> lexeaus: so hardware needed for visual effects is not esay to setup
[00:05] <ikonia> elexodus__: ??? what
[00:05] <kitche> clayg: cp -a or cp -r
[00:06] <lexeaus> @ikonia that means ? i cant active it ? or is there any way ?
[00:06] <mlLK> koshari, windows is boring
[00:06] <filthpig> hi, what kind of tool do you recommend for CPU temp monitoring?
[00:06] <ikonia> lexeaus: not really
[00:06] <Bert_2> koshari: what's so special about my partitioning table ?
[00:06] <clayg> kitche, both do the same?
[00:06] <elexodus__> Ikonia: The DNS... I need to add the MasqueradeAddress	<IP_ADDRESS> line into proftpd.conf
[00:06] <lexeaus> @ikonia okey thanks anyway ;)
[00:06] <Bert_2> ikonia: any idea how to change the UUID ?
[00:06] <ikonia> Bert_2: it shouldn't be changeable, but then it should also be unique
[00:06] <DangerousEric03> el speako el spanisho?
[00:06] <smokewon> Hey there, ive got composite rendering enabled in my xorg.conf, and it works well with compiz fusion, but java applets flicker in firefox when i have the composite option enabled, is there some way to fix this?
[00:06] <ikonia> elexodus__: no, your welcome to try that, but thats not setting up any form of name resolution
[00:07] <ikonia> !es| DangerousEric03
[00:07] <Bert_2> ikonia: how about this: http://nixcraft.com/shell-scripting/948-change-uuid-ext3-partition.html
[00:07] <ikonia> Bert_2: your call - not for me though
[00:07] <kitche> clayg: pretty much
[00:07] <elexodus__> Ikonia, can't I judt do it with my NAP IP?
[00:08] <elexodus__> *NAT
[00:08] <ikonia> elexodus__: thats not dns/name resolution
[00:08] <mlLK> koshari, i was using cygwin for quite awhile, but, it, is still not nearly as complete
[00:08] <ikonia> elexodus__: change your hosname for your ip address will the quick and dirty fix your looking for
[00:08] <elexodus__> Ikonia, we've lost cabin pressure
[00:08] <elexodus__> Ikonia, how do I do that?
[00:08] <ikonia> elexodus__: just put your ip in the config
[00:09] <ikonia> elexodus__: don't reference the hostname in the config - reference your ip
[00:09] <elexodus__> Ikonia, ex: MasqueradeAddress	<IP_ADDRESS>
[00:09] <adityag> whats the cmd to restart apache ?
[00:09] <elexodus__> ?
[00:09] <ikonia> elexodus__: no
[00:09] <ikonia> elexodus__: change the HOSTNAME for your IP in the config
[00:09] <koshari> Bert_2 effectively you jsut want to dual boot win/lin, i would have a ext3(lin)/ntfs(win)/swap/ext2(with ext drivers on win) or ntfs as a shared data, and install the
[00:09] <dustrial> mlLK:  windows host - bsd guest , option?
[00:09] <glitsj16> adityag: sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart
[00:10] <Flannel> glitsj16, adityag /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[00:10] <glitsj16> Flannel: thanks, always miss that 2
[00:10] <mlLK> dustrial, i don't really see a point w/ windows anymore; cept languages that are made for it
[00:10] <mlLK> dustrial, and experimenting, i guess
[00:10] <KintaRo[uyku]> iyi geceler sizlere
[00:11] <tanath> got on-join spam from Cla_Meredith just now
[00:11] <mlLK> dustrial, i can barely run vista on my laptop cuz the windows manager is sucha memory whore
[00:11] <Pici> tanath: thanks
[00:11] <koshari> Bert_2 for your backups have a hidden dir owed by root on the data dir and use partimage to back up the other partitions, because your inside the primay partition barrier and dont then need an extended partition your partitions wil survive a mbr failure
[00:11] <smokewon> Hey there im trying to install the "Utopia" font, i did sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended, but i still cant access the Utopia font
[00:12] <glitsj16> Flannel: so sudo isn't needed for that ?
[00:12] <Sydero> wtf
[00:12] <Flannel> glitsj16: no, sudo is
[00:12] <Sydero> who is this brent
[00:12] <ehc> i ran apt-get install phpmyadmin successfully, now how do get to phpmyadmin (<IP_ADDRESS>/...?
[00:12] <Sydero> A guy interested in wearing a bra?
[00:12] <glitsj16> Flannel: k, just checking thanks
[00:12] <ikonia> Sydero: you don't need phrases like "wtf" we know what they mean and they are not welcome
[00:12] <smokewon> yeah i just got a pm from that guy too
[00:12] <smokewon> rude
[00:12] <glitsj16> BrentHecht please stop spamming the PM
[00:12] <Sydero> can someone please ban <BrentHecht>
[00:12] <dustrial> mlLK:  :) yeah dint try viesta yet - windowsXP guest runs great in virtualbox , as far as i dont need directX
[00:13] <mlLK> dustrial, i think the problem is that half the ppl out there making software don't really know why they're doing it in the first place besides getting paid
[00:13] <ikonia> Sydero: its being looked at
[00:13] <mlLK> dustrial, k cool, you running sp3?
[00:13] <ikonia> Sydero: he's not in this channel
[00:13] <Lot`> Hardy Heron,. keeps logging me out at random times, can anyone help me out?
[00:13] <Sydero> hmmm
[00:14] <Pici> The network staff are taking care of the spammers, sorry for any annoyance.
[00:14] <koshari> mlLK: c is pretty portable, so if yu have the source code you can recompile...anyway i guess the subject is at rest now we have determined VM is not a suitable gaming solution]
[00:14]  * zaapiel sighs
[00:14] <elexodus__> Ikonia, can't find hostname line
[00:14] <zaapiel> you guys ever heard of any opensource buisness plan software? google returns nuthin but actual open source buiness plans
[00:14] <laeg> !printer
[00:14] <ikonia> elexodus__: is your machine called "childsplay"
[00:14] <zaapiel> or anything that runs on linux to be honest, doesnt have to be opensource
[00:15] <elexodus__> Ikonia, yes
[00:15] <ikonia> elexodus__: right - so thats your hostname
[00:15] <dustrial> mlLK:  no just sp2 and starcraft ... need nothing else, because wine runs quite good ...
[00:15] <Sydero> elexodus__, did you fix your server yet?
[00:15] <mlLK> dustrial, ya
[00:15] <koshari> zaapiel i wouldnt expect there to be mush, given those apps are so tied to the locale tax laws that are changine all the time theyu are becomeing more of a subscription based model
[00:15] <Fezzler> Where do I turn off the option at bootup that lets one choose alternative kernels, sessions?
[00:16] <zaapiel> koshari: ty
[00:16] <Sydero> in grub fezzler?
[00:16] <cypha> anyone know how I can set up Ubuntu to use my Tablet screen?
[00:16] <cypha> i have an HP tablet

[00:16] <smokewon> Hey there, ive got composite rendering enabled in my xorg.conf, and it works well with compiz fusion, but java applets flicker in firefox when i have the composite option enabled, is there some way to fix this?
[00:16] <Sydero> Fezzler: just remove the other kernels
[00:16] <koshari> Fezzler you mean gdm?
[00:17] <Fezzler> koshari: when my computer boots up, I get a text screen that gives me choices at bootup
[00:17] <Stanton> can anyone help me with linksys WUSB54GSC wirless adapter. i've followed all the things i can find on the forums and google and nothing has worked. and i do not have any internet while on ubunutu..
[00:17] <mlLK> koshari, ya i'm actually suprised there isn't an entry for virtualbox yet on ubuntuguide
[00:17] <elexodus__> did anybody else just get spammed by McDonalds?
[00:17] <Fezzler> elexodus__: Yes
[00:17] <ashley_> Stanton: Where are you up to?
[00:17] <ikonia> elexodus__: it doesn't matter - not in this channel
[00:17] <koshari> Fezzler thats grub and you cannot remove, however you can edit it so its transparent
[00:17] <mar77i_> hi, I'm wondering how I can find out if Atheros AR5007EG is supported on a live session cd by default?
[00:17] <Fezzler> koshari: yes
[00:17] <elexodus__> Ikonia, still can't figure out the proper line
[00:17] <smokewon> admin plase ban<EMAIL_ADDRESS>* Spa, this address is spamming
[00:17] <Sydero> you can pop in the cd :D
[00:18] <ikonia> elexodus__: re-paste your config file
[00:18] <clayg> kitche, when i try "cp /home/clay -r /media/ipod/storage/home/ i am getting messages like "cp: cannot create symbolic link<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Operation not permitted
[00:18] <clayg> "
[00:18] <Fezzler> koshari: I think there was a selection in GNOME?
[00:18] <smellynoser> sudo
[00:18] <clayg> kitche,  this is with sudo before the command
[00:18] <Stanton> ashley_ i've got driver isntalled useing ndiswrapper.
[00:18] <koshari> Fezzler you will need to edit the timeout and default values in grubs menu.1st file
[00:18] <ikonia> elexodus__: should you really be running a public FTP server if you've not got a solid grasp on the basics yet ?
[00:18] <smellynoser> Stanton: What does: "sudo iwconfig" show you?
[00:18] <Stanton> smellynoser, errors.
[00:18] <ldiain> anyone here useing the ia64 ubuntu distro 7.20 gutsy?
[00:19] <sfire> ikonia: what do you think.. hehehehe
[00:19] <ldiain> 7.10
[00:19] <sugi> I just installed Morrowind on p4 1.8 GHz, Gb PC 3200, ATI 9600 SE Directed Rendering Enabled.  The game won't start up.  The Launcher works but no game.  http://pastebin.com/m5fe4156f
[00:19] <ikonia> sfire: what ?
[00:19] <Stanton> smellynoser, i wrote the errors onto a txt file.
[00:19] <sfire> ikonia: running any public service and not knowing about it isn't all that smart
[00:19] <koshari> Fezzler however it is better to leave it as it give you access to a recovery console if you have probs, you could give it a nice splash screen if you perfer to not see the basic text screen
[00:19] <ikonia> sfire: I know this, thats why I suggested he shouldn't do it
[00:19] <mar77i_> hi, I'm wondering where I can find out if Atheros AR5007EG is supported on a live session cd by default?
[00:20] <ClarkGriswold> just got spam from a bot
[00:20] <ClarkGriswold> about a day camp over irc

[00:20] <ldiain> anyone here know of a vaild http:// for a deb souce for the sources.lst file for apt-get on a ia64 system?

[00:20] <sobersabre> hi. I am having a weird problem with the display, which is supposed to be 1680x1050
[00:20] <koshari> Fezzler there is a selection screen in gnome, its the gdm screen and you can edit your system to boot directly into a user accout as well,
[00:20] <Fezzler> koshari: ok
[00:21] <elexodus__> fezzler: just get another one?
[00:21] <kitche> ldiain: hmm ia64 would be hard since not many people even use ia64 really
[00:21] <sobersabre> It displays it all ok, but for some reason, when I am maximizing the window it takes the full width, but 1/2 of the height.
[00:21] <smellynoser> Stanton: What is the output if you don't pass "wlan0" and just do: "sudo iwconfig"?
[00:21] <Stanton> i have not tried that i dont think
[00:21] <Fezzler> koshari: ok
[00:21] <elexodus__> ikonia, it's a learning process. I've ran one on xp before. I recall a little less editting is all.
[00:21] <sobersabre> this guy, Scheiznishh hasn't seen much of seinfeld....
[00:22] <Stanton> smellynoser, do you recumind me rebooting into ubuntu to see what it says?
[00:22] <ClarkGriswold> Pici: Taylor_Roncancio
[00:22] <alan_m> can I speak to one of the ops privately? (I have a advertisement from someone in here that was aparently a script thats on join that I need to address).
[00:22] <ikonia> alan_m: join #ubuntu-ops
[00:22] <alan_m> ok
[00:22] <smellynoser> Stanton: It might just be that your wireless device is called eth1 rather than wlan0
[00:22] <TiredWolf> alan_m: you don't really have to ask
[00:22] <elexodus__> I have alan_m's same problem
[00:23] <smellynoser> Stanton: That's a possibility though, not a guarantee
[00:23] <Stanton> ok i'll try that
[00:23] <elexodus__> it's annoying
[00:23] <sobersabre> I'm off to sleep.
[00:23] <TiredWolf> tell #ubuntu-ops about it
[00:23] <yixil_ub> can somebody give me some very simple scripting help?
[00:23] <c_lisp> hi how can you prevent the catch from the clip board clearing when you close the program that had the text you copied?
[00:23] <Stanton> smellynoser, ok.. well um i am going to see what i can work with from that.. i'll be back asap.

[00:54] <okasa> dont ask for help, just ask
[00:54] <ptn107> anyone here who uses ssh regularly can tell me if the sshguard package is useful?
[00:54] <Ashfire908> liquid89, don't ask to ask, just ask.
[00:55] <liquid89> just wondering which one to use ubuntu or fedora
[00:55] <liquid89> and how i can figure out the answer for myself
[00:55] <sn4k3> hello
[00:55] <liquid89> they look the same
[00:55] <ikonia> liquid89: try them
[00:55] <ikonia> liquid89: read about them
[00:55] <liquid89> ok
[00:55] <simard> ubuntu might be easier at first I guess
[00:55] <simard> if you really dont know
[00:56] <sn4k3> i have a problem with agp speed
[00:56] <ptn107> liquid89: Ubuntu's package management system is easier I think
[00:56] <liquid89> thanks for the info
[00:56] <sn4k3> in my messages log: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:02:00.0 into 4x mode
[00:56] <liquid89> i've heard ptn107
[00:56] <Blaqlight> pciexpress is nice.
[00:56] <liquid89> i have installed both and used both
[00:56] <sn4k3> there is a line this,but my agp supports 8x
[00:56] <hou5ton> If I'm installing an application, what dir should I use to put the app directories, generally?  I would like a sensible method.
[00:56] <sn4k3> how can i change it?
[00:57] <Flannel> hou5ton: What are you installing?
[00:57] <Ashfire908> liquid89, you will probaly get a thousand different answers to that question, as with all distro vs distro questions.
[00:57] <Blaqlight> hou5ton: use the default ones.
[00:57] <hou5ton> Flannel:  wacom tablet app
[00:57] <ptn107> hou5ton: the /opt folder is common for custom software
[00:57] <Flannel> hou5ton: Does it look like all the stuff belongsin the same folders?
[00:57] <Blaqlight> hou5ton: chances are if your using a linux app there are standard installation locations.
[00:57] <simard> hou5ton you should understand that an app installs in many directories at once
[00:57] <sn4k3> yes its nice but i have agp
[00:57] <Flannel> hou5ton: /opt or /usr/local/*
[00:58] <simard> putting binaries in a directory, help files in another, other data yet in another
[00:58] <simard> etc
[00:58] <sn4k3> is it configured in xorg.conf?
[00:58] <sn4k3> or another file?
[00:59] <sn4k3> no agp'ers here
[00:59] <sn4k3> everybody passed to pciex i hope
[00:59] <Blaqlight> I want to get my logitech quickcam messenger running, anyone want to have a go at this?
[00:59] <sn4k3> :(
[00:59] <sn4k3> except me
[00:59] <sn4k3> :'(
[01:00] <Blaqlight> sn4k3: time to upgrade perhaps?
[01:00] <sn4k3> its obvious
[01:00] <Blaqlight> lol apg is so early 2000's
[01:01] <Blaqlight> agp too
[01:01] <sn4k3> i had an hd2600 agp card 512M
[01:01] <hou5ton> ptn107:  Flannel: There isn't anything in the /opt folder now ... and when I try to go there using a file manager, it says "Resource temporarily unavailable (code 11)
[01:01] <stik> my 6800 ultra is agp :P
[01:01] <sn4k3> can play most multiplayer games without problem
[01:01] <Flannel> hou5ton: There won't be anything in the /opt folder currently.  As for the unavailable, that's odd.
[01:01] <sn4k3> i won't throw this comp
[01:01] <Blaqlight> my gforce fx 5200 is too, and because it is, it sits in a closet.
[01:02] <hou5ton> one doc said to just stick the folder in /user/src ... but all that's in there are the kernels I've installed so far .... doesn't seem like the place to put custom software ... but ... I don't know
[01:02] <MajorPayne> Hey.  I can normally move windows from workspace to workspace by clicking on the icon in the workspace switcher and draging to a new workspace.  I can't do that now (fresh install of 8.04).  Is there any way to enable this?
[01:02] <kitche> sn4k3: here http://pastebin.com/m398448d
[01:02] <sn4k3> ok i'll look
[01:02] <dez5y> Hi.  I just did a clean install of k8.04, and after installing restricted "nvidia' driver - I only get resolutions of 640x480, and the 320 one.  The restricted driver has never done this before; what should I do?  I have an 8500GT.
[01:03] <hou5ton> Flannel:  that was just using one particular file manager .. gentoo
[01:03] <hou5ton> another one doesn't have a problem with it
[01:03] <Flannel> hou5ton: gentoo isn't a file manager.
[01:03] <hou5ton> Flannel:  what is it?
[01:04] <Flannel> hou5ton: A linux distribution, just like Ubuntu
[01:04] <stik> There is a gentoo file manager
[01:04] <smellynoser> .
[01:04] <jelmer> Flannel: it's also a file manager
[01:04] <kitche> Flannel: gentoo is a file manager as well
[01:04] <hou5ton> Flannel:  no ... there is a gentoo file manager too
[01:04] <Shpook> Okay, i think I really screwed my system up this time. I dropped my laptop, and now I'm having all sorts of problems. It won't connect to any wireless networks, it won't load the x server on a soft reboot, it randomly freezes for 3-5 minutes at a time, programs will open but only display an empty window, and gives an unable to resolve error. Not to mention I can't open anything that requires root privelages. Where do I start?
[01:04] <smellynoser> That's a stupid name for a file manager
[01:04] <hou5ton> Flannel:  it's in Synaptic
[01:04] <hou5ton> dual window
[01:04] <Flannel> hou5ton: Like midnight commander
[01:04] <spiel_mit_feuer> hmm
[01:04] <sn4k3> kitche: whatis this:  http://pastebin.com/m398448d ?
[01:04] <ikonia> Shpook: try being specific
[01:05] <smellynoser> Shpook: Your hard drive is probably screwed - Go get your laptop looked at and fixed
[01:05] <Blaqlight> Shpook: perhaps you fubarred your HDD or your mobo or ...
[01:05] <ikonia> Shpook: 1.) you can't resolve anything because you can't connect to the wirless lan 2.) what happens when you try to use a super use software
[01:05] <ikonia> Blaqlight: no - he didn't it's all because he's not connected to the wirless lan
[01:05] <sn4k3> kitche: and which part of this is about my problem?
[01:05] <zerogate> dez5y, which driver version?
[01:05] <ptn107> hou5ton: thats weird, i can navigate to it just fine
[01:06] <DeadKennedy2880> !printer > DeadKennedy2880
[01:06] <hou5ton> ptn107:  I can too in other file managers
[01:06] <Blaqlight> I fubared my ipod by dropping it, why not a laptop too.
[01:06] <smellynoser> You're not supposed to drop things
[01:06] <MajorPayne> Hey.  I can normally move windows from workspace to workspace by clicking on the icon in the workspace switcher and draging to a new workspace.  I can't do that now (fresh install of 8.04).  Is there any way to enable this?
[01:06] <kitche> sn4k3: it tells you how to fix your issue
[01:06] <Shpook> It's possible it's the hd, but I hope not.
[01:06] <smellynoser> Except balls
[01:06] <ikonia> baard: why have you not answered my questions ?
[01:06] <dez5y> zerogate, how do I check?  It's right out of the REPOS.
[01:06] <sn4k3> kitche: i thought i was on ubuntu channel and it's all about windows
[01:06] <smellynoser> Shpook: It's more than likely to be the HD
[01:07] <dez5y> 169.12
[01:07] <Shpook> ikonia: What software would I try?
[01:07] <ikonia> Blaqlight: why have you not answered my questions
[01:07] <dez5y> zerogate,  169.12
[01:07] <ikonia> Shpook: any software you say that needs root privilges
[01:07] <Blaqlight> ikonia: you asked me a question?
[01:07] <zerogate> dez5y,  dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[01:07] <kitche> sn4k3: opps wrong url
[01:07] <sn4k3> :P
[01:07] <smellynoser> sudo make me a sandwich
[01:07] <hou5ton> Flannel:  I don't see Midnight Commander in Synaptic ... but there is Gnome-Commander ... I guess it's about the same thing
[01:07] <Kohlrak> is there a way to start vino?
[01:07] <ikonia> Blaqlight: yes, all your problems are down to the fact that your not connected to the wirless lan. The question is what happens when you open an application with a need for sudo/gksudo
[01:08] <Blaqlight> Im totally not paying attention.
[01:08] <ikonia> smellynoser: not helpful
[01:08] <Flannel> hou5ton: "mc" is the package name
[01:08] <Lurq> btw. forgot to tell you. I had a problem with mplayer not working with XV and Gl tearing. It was alla because of the bad ATI-drivers. solution: buy a nvidia card!
[01:08] <smellynoser> ikonia: Excuse me?
[01:08] <ikonia>  smellynoser> sudo make me a sandwich
[01:08] <Blaqlight> ikonia: I don't have a problem at all.
[01:08] <dez5y> zerogate, 169.12+2.6.24-14-20.46
[01:08] <hou5ton> Flannel:  much difference?
[01:08] <Shpook> ikonia: it just hangs the terminal
[01:08] <ikonia> Blaqlight: oooh really - sorry, that was meant for Shpook apologies
[01:08] <Flannel> hou5ton: mc is ncurses
[01:08] <cbxrahl> is there anyone here that can help me with madwifi
[01:08] <ikonia> Shpook: please give me your machine hostname
[01:08] <smellynoser> ikonia: Why would that help?
[01:09] <ikonia> smellynoser: why would what help
[01:09] <zerogate> dez5y, hmm this should work
[01:09]  * Blaqlight thunks ikonia on the head with a load pop! and says " You  should've had a V8!"
[01:09] <smellynoser> ikonia: Hostname
[01:09] <ikonia> smellynoser: watch
[01:09] <smellynoser> ikonia: I will
[01:09] <ikonia> Blaqlight: apologies
[01:09] <zerogate> dez5y, i had the same problem with using the newer driver (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.14.05.html) it doesn'T support my card - you could try it, but your card isnt listed either
[01:09] <smellynoser> ikonia: No doubt in amazement and awe
[01:09] <dez5y> zerogate, It definitely doesn't.  It was acting up about an hour ago, then I completely re-installed.
[01:09] <Shpook> ikonia: actually, I just tried doing sudo gedit, and it says "cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp'
[01:09] <ikonia> smellynoser: I doubnt that
[01:09] <kitche> sn4k3: put this in your xorg.conf Option "AGPMode" "4" under your video card driver section
[01:10] <dez5y> and it still doesn't work.  It only gives me that 640x480 :/
[01:10] <ikonia> Shpook: one thing at a time, lets solve the common issue first
[01:10] <ikonia> Shpook: whats the hostname
[01:10] <cbxrahl> is there anyone here that can help me with madwifi
[01:10] <smellynoser> cbxrahl: Is there not a madwifi channel?
[01:10] <kitche> sn4k3: you might have to use UseInternalAGPGART as well
[01:10] <zerogate> dez5y, did it work before you reinstalled?
[01:10] <tkach> I had trouble connecting to my workgroup computers in Vista and Hardy, but I changed the workgroup name in vista to the name of the workgroup (duh, I know) and everything works. I still can't connect to the workgroup in ubuntu
[01:10] <starn> does anybody know if its possible to join Yahoo Chat rooms through IRC? or other programs other than yahoo?
[01:10] <sn4k3> internal?
[01:10] <cbxrahl> smellynoser ya there is but no one is on it
[01:10] <sn4k3> ok
[01:11] <Shpook> ikonia: shpook-laptop
[01:11] <smellynoser> cbxrahl: IRC for ya, idle people everywhere :P
[01:11] <sn4k3> you meant AGPMode "8" i hope
[01:11] <sn4k3> i want 8x
[01:11] <ikonia> Shpook: grep shpook-laptop /etc/hosts please.
[01:11] <cbxrahl> yep
[01:11] <kitche> sn4k3: nope 4 will make it use 8x mode for some odd reason
[01:11] <Sydero> How do I recreate my xorg.conf file if xorgconfig doesn't exist?
[01:11] <Shpook> ikonia resolves as <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:11] <sn4k3> om then its 8x now
[01:12] <sn4k3> i needn't change it
[01:12] <smellynoser> ikonia: You could have just said: "grep `hostname` /etc/hosts" - Also, not being able to connect to wireless isn't the root of all of his problems :/
[01:12] <ikonia> Shpook: rats, thats the most obvious issue
[01:12] <Kohlrak> how do i get my local IP (not outside IP)?
[01:12] <smellynoser> Kohlrak: ifconfig
[01:12] <sn4k3> why internal?
[01:12] <Kohlrak> thanks
[01:12] <ikonia> smellynoser: it would appear not, I didn't want to use `hostname` in case his wirless set it on dhcp
[01:12] <sn4k3> kernel makes problem?
[01:12] <kitche> sn4k3: the kernel sets it to 4x but xorg will change it to 8x it will disable the kernel agpart so xorg can override the 4x
[01:12] <Sydero> ...
[01:12] <dez5y> zerogate, no , that's why i reinstalled.  it worked originally.. i don't know what chnanged
[01:13] <zerogate> since when has it stopped to work?
[01:13] <ikonia> Shpook: so id you do "sudo vi /etc/hosts" does that work ?
[01:13] <sn4k3> "AGPMode" "4" stops kernel agp?
[01:13] <zerogate> dez5y, you started ubuntu one day and it wasn't working anymore?
[01:13] <dez5y> zerogate, Well, it stopped earlier today.  All I did was unplug the monitor, and plug it up about 5m later.  I wanted to clean the screen.. and once i plugged it back up i restarted .. and then that's when it started.  so i did a complete reinstall, and it still doesn't work
[01:13] <ptn107> Kohlrak: ifconfig | grep 'inet addr'
[01:13] <Shpook> ikonia: Yes, that worked
[01:13] <sn4k3> or need another command?
[01:14] <zerogate> dez5y, do you have another os on your system? like windows or sth
[01:14] <ikonia> Shpook: ok, thats great news, so the really obvious one is ticked off, so it looks like the initial suggestion of some damage has been done in the drop
[01:14] <elexodus_> ikonia, got it. Thanks for all your help.
[01:14] <smellynoser> Nevar!
[01:14] <ikonia> elexodus_: ok
[01:14] <dez5y> zerogate,  Windows is installed on a separate partition
[01:14] <dez5y> but it's been installed the whole time, even when it did work.
[01:14] <Shpook> ikonia: is there a chance that a bunch of files were just corrupted?
[01:15] <dez5y> ohh, reboot to windows to see if it'll do the resolution
[01:15] <Kohlrak> Hm, my vnc doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to force start vino?
[01:15] <zerogate> dez5y, are the drivers still running fine on windows?
[01:15] <ikonia> Shpook: no idea of the top of my head, your disk looks "ok" in that it's booted
[01:15] <Shpook> I don't mind if I have to try to re-install
[01:15] <kitche> sn4k3: if you do set UseInternalAGPGART to no in xorg.conf but you need to look that up to get the exact way to use it sicne I've never had to mess around with agp sicne all my computers use pci or pci-x
[01:15] <dez5y> I'll check.  Hold on.
[01:15] <smellynoser> Shpool: You could try fsck
[01:15] <Shpook> smellynoser: fsck fails for me
[01:15] <ikonia> Shpook: ok, what does fsck say ?
[01:16] <dez5y> zerogate, Yes, it just booted with 1440x900 in Windows.
[01:16] <sn4k3> kitche: ok, thx for the infos
[01:16] <dez5y> zerogate, I'm trying to install the new driver.  Nvidia won't install unless i go to runlevel 3, but runlevel 3 starts x.  How do I get out of X completely but stay at run level 3 ?
[01:16] <Shpook> ikonia: Unable to resolve 'UUID=
[01:16] <ikonia> Shpook: what command did you do ?
[01:16] <Shpook> then of course the UUID
[01:16] <Kernel> hello all. is there any kind of app that something that will give me a list of the most unused files/folders in my /home dir?
[01:16] <zerogate> dez5y, do you use gnome?
[01:16] <dez5y> zerogate, No.  Kde.
[01:17] <Shpook> ikonia: Just plain fsck
[01:17] <Kernel> i think it could be done with ls and grep but i have no idea how to
[01:17] <ikonia> Shpook: fsck - no other options ?
[01:17] <ptn107> Kohlrak: try running /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
[01:17] <dez5y> zerogate, If I use the open source driver that comes with a ubunt install, it'll let me go up to the 1300 resolution
[01:17] <ikonia> Shpook: what happens if you reference it via device file
[01:17] <Kohlrak> i'll try that, thanks
[01:17] <Shpook> ikonia: right, but I've tried -p and -f with the same results
[01:18] <zerogate> dez5y, try /etc/init.d/kdm stop and afterwards /etc/init.d/kdm start
[01:18] <tkach> I can't network with other computers. I used to be able to see the windows network pretty easily. Now, when I click on Windows Network, I get an empty folder. I know that the other computer is shared. What could I be over looking.
[01:18] <ikonia> Shpook: if you do fsck -n /dev/$file what happens ?
[01:18] <elexodus_> ikonia: I just tried to login to myown ftp, and it said somethin g about a malicious script trying to grab my mouse???
[01:18] <ikonia> elexodus_: any chance of the exact error ?
[01:18] <smellynoser> tkach: sudo umount /location/ && sudo mount /location/ ?
[01:19] <tkach> smellynoser: does "location=ip address or workgroup name?
[01:19] <dez5y> zerogate, There is no kde.  I run kde4.  Running kdm-kde4 stop sas kdm-kde4 is not running
[01:20] <Shpook> ikonia: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda1.
[01:20] <ikonia> Shpook: sudo
[01:20] <Shpook> ikonia: lol i just realized that. Now it's running fsck
[01:20] <bhoo> hi how can I get error messages from splash screen?
[01:20] <ptn107> Kohlrak: if you just want to set up your computer so you can access it via remote desktop (vinagre), then you can just go to System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop (which is a shortcut to vino-preferences)
[01:20] <zerogate> dez5y, you are sure that there is no program "kde" in /etc/init.d/ ?
[01:20] <Shpook> ikonia: Thats a big step forward
[01:20] <harpreet> bhoo: u want to get errors?
[01:20] <zerogate> dez5y,  *kdm
[01:21] <anakron> Hi
[01:21] <fontstuff> i think he means logging errors
[01:21] <bhoo> harpreet: yeah.. I know there is something wrong with the splash screen but i couldn't find the error message
[01:21] <zerogate> dez5y, kdm not kde
[01:21] <dez5y> zerogate,  ls | grep kdm -> "kdm-kde4"
[01:21] <anakron> someone can help me with a problem with 5-a-day
[01:21] <deebus> I'm running  2.6.24-19 with nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller.  I had sound awhile ago, but now I have none.  I'm pretty sure I upgraded the kernel, perhaps, before the sound stopped working
[01:21] <Shpook> ikonia: and it's found errors. Actually, it just aborted because of "can't read next inode" Hard drive?
[01:22] <zerogate> dez5y, hmm in gnome i do it with /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:22] <deebus> does anybody know why my sound just stopped working all of a sudden?
[01:22] <harpreet> bhoo: right click properties or right bottom
[01:22] <dez5y> Bah.
[01:22] <fontstuff> your sound server crashed
[01:22] <deebus> fontstuff:  how can I restart it?
[01:22] <bhoo> harpreet: I am sorry I didnt get that..
[01:22] <zerogate> dez5y, pstree | grep kdm
[01:22] <deebus> I've already rebooted once
[01:23] <bhoo> harpreet:  what am i supposed to right click?
[01:23] <Shpook> I'm going to backup what i can, and then see if fsck can fix the hd and blacklist any bad sectors. With any luck, I'll just have to re-install
[01:23] <tkach>  I can't network with other computers. I used to be able to see the windows network pretty easily. Now, when I click on Windows Network, I get an empty folder. I know that the other computer is shared. What could I be over looking.
[01:23] <dez5y> zerogate,  it says kdm-+-Xorg and then a launch session gpg agent
[01:23] <fontstuff> i had that problem once, but i don't remember
[01:23] <davidh1983> thisll proly seem like kind of a dumb question but whne i installed ubuntu i didnt set aside any swap space, but i just made a swap partition using 'partition editor'...but ubuntu isnt recognizing the swap space...
[01:24] <zerogate> dez5y, try sudo killall kdm (warning: your system might crash)
[01:24] <deebus> can anyone help me figure out my sound problems?
[01:24] <harpreet> bhoo: what driver u running?
[01:24] <felicity> hello everyone
[01:24] <davidh1983> so how can i get ubuntu to recognize the new swap partition i created?
[01:24] <Ghostland> anyone running ati x1270 video card?
[01:24] <ptn107> davidh1983: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[01:24] <Smegzor> I use Ubuntu 8.04 with Gnome and my network performance (wired) degrades to <5k/sec several times a day.  I have done some poking about and some research.  I can see nothing wrong, but I have read that Avahi daemon might have something to do with it.  How do I test to see if Avahi is responsible?
[01:24] <bhoo> harpreet: intel drivers
[01:24] <dez5y> zerogate,  installing this nvidia driver says nvidia is already loaded in kernel... but i'm out of X.  How do i get rid of that
[01:25] <felicity> I am trying to get my buffalo wireless usb adapter to work in ubuntu 8.04, I found a guide on the net but I still cant seem to get it working, I dont think ndiswrapper installed properly, it had errors when I did make
[01:25] <harpreet> bhoo:  try seeing if u need to change the driver or if u running the right one
[01:25] <harpreet> when u boot
[01:25] <zerogate> dez5y, so you managed to kill x?
[01:25] <fontstuff> do i need to add a number to each boot entry i add to menu-normal.lst or advanced-normal.lst?
[01:25] <dez5y> zerogate, yes
[01:25] <bhoo> harpreet: Actually I installed a new splash screen and the progress bar doesn't work...
[01:25] <zerogate> dez5y, how?
[01:25] <dez5y> zerogate,  sudo killall kdm
[01:25] <zerogate> dez5y, i didn'T understand your last question
[01:26] <harpreet> bhoo: press ctl+alt+F1 when u boot and see at ur login sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ...wat u running at
[01:26] <bhoo> harpreet: I remember seeming a message which says there is some message missing but i couldn't find it any more in dmesg
[01:26] <dez5y> zerogate,  I'm trying to install the new nvidia driver.. but it warns me, and says 'Nvidia is loaded in the kernel" - how do I unload it, so to speak?
[01:26] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i make it so i can use my wireless connection and connect to my desktop over cross over cable at the same time
[01:26] <harpreet> bhoo: press ctl+alt+F1 when u boot and see at ur login sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ...wat u running at

[01:26] <td123> Ghostland: not necessarily
[01:26] <llasas> I want to install xp and the boot cd doesnt boot up
[01:27] <ikonia> llasas: delete the partition, and put the windows boot loader back on
[01:27] <ikonia> llasas: ubuntu can't fix your windows XP cd or cd drive
[01:27] <fontstuff> you need SGD
[01:27] <felicity> llasas is it set to boot from cd first

[01:28] <tkach> I'm trying to access an external hard drive via another computer on my network. I have no problem in Vista, but for some reason, nothing appears when I double click "Windows Network" in Hardy.
[01:28] <bhoo> harpreet: I am not able to find the same message when I press ctrl+Atl+F1
[01:29] <Shpook> what log files do I check when the computer won't connect to a network?
[01:29] <fontstuff> llasas: you need to make a new FAT32 partition for Windows
[01:29] <zerogate> dez5y, did you use the .run file to install? try googling this issue - i've never heard of it
[01:29] <harpreet> bhoo:  read wat it says
[01:29] <felicity> i am trying to get my buffalo wireless adapter (usb) to work in 8.04 but when I tried to make install ndiswrapper it gives me lots of errors and warnings, I'm not sure how to fix it, can anyone please help

[01:31] <koshari> Mr_Bad_News why would you want to?
[01:31] <Ghostland> anyone know where to find drivers for ATI radeon x1270??? I do not have any dvd playback
[01:31] <harpreet> bhoo:  wat u running? hardy
[01:31] <bhoo> harpreet:  yeah
[01:32] <koshari>  Ghostland yu will need dvd codecs to play commercial dvd
[01:32] <Dr_willis> DVD playback wouldent be dependent on the ati drivers. Ive played dvd with the vesa, and 'ati' drivers/
[01:32] <bhoo> harpreet:   The splash screen works fine during shutdown...
[01:33] <Ghostland> what codecs do u run in ubuntu 64bit?
[01:33] <duiu> If I use dd to clone a drive, does the target drive have to be the same size, or can it be bigger?
[01:33] <bhoo> harpreet:   I actually wanted to ask why is that I dont see those messages logged anywhere.
[01:33] <harpreet> bhoo:  go to package manager and see if everything is installed or u might have to remove it and then go to terminal and sudo update
[01:33] <tkach> I'm trying to access an external hard drive via another computer on my network. I have no problem in Vista, but for some reason, nothing appears when I double click "Windows Network" in Hardy
[01:33] <harpreet> bhoo:  but u could find them how to get msgs
[01:33] <bhoo> harpreet:  why are they only available when I press Ctrl+Alt+f1
[01:33] <duiu> tkach: Did you install Samba
[01:34] <Dedi> anyone managed to get ubuntu-modules running with a custom compiled kernel? (what i did: http://dedors.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/howto-32bit-4gb-support-with-working-nvidia-binary-drivers/ )
[01:34] <harpreet> bhoo:  i have no idea but thats how u get them lsited

[01:34] <llasas> fontstuff?
[01:34] <koshari> Ghostland !dvd

[01:34] <Dedi> sry should had took a tinyurl :)
[01:34] <bhoo> harpreet:  Okey... I guess I have where the missing function
[01:34] <Kernel> does anyone know how i can sort files/folder by date and size?
[01:34] <bhoo> harpreet:  thnx for the help
[01:34] <duiu> tkach: Look under add/remove programs and search for the samba suite
[01:34] <fontstuff> llasas: see if you have GParted listed in your apps
[01:34] <tkach> hmm, duiu, I may end up feeling very foolish, for some reason I thought that it was already on my computer...I will check
[01:34] <harpreet> bhoo: i b glad if it works, you welcome
[01:35] <duiu> tkach: I know it doesn't install be defualt in gutsy, not sure in hardy
[01:35] <Ghostland> anyone know how to copy all the playlists off an ipod and sync them into Amarok?
[01:35] <felicity> can someone plz help me with ndiswrapper it gives me some errors when i try to make
[01:35] <llasas> I can install it fontstuff
[01:35] <bhoo> harpreet:  this splash screen is installed from a downloaded package, I dont think I could information from the package manager can I?
[01:35] <Ghostland> reverse sync
[01:35] <duiu> Ghostland: Try reading Amarok's documentation
[01:36] <llasas> What after that
[01:36] <harpreet> bhoo:  go to synaptic and search splash screen
[01:36] <Ghostland> Amarok doesn't allow copying off the ipod
[01:36] <tkach> duiu, I will try that...thank you.
[01:36] <duiu> tkach: no problem
[01:36] <bhoo> harpreet:  I actually ran a script to install the script.. replacing some of the existing splash screen files.
[01:36] <bhoo> harpreet:  I will check it anyway
[01:38] <tkach> duiu, I installed Samba (at least I think I did, in Package manager it indicates that Samba and Samba-common are installed), however a search of "Samba" in add/remove produced no results
[01:39] <duiu> tkach: how are you sharing the USB drive
[01:39] <fontstuff> llasas: did you install it?
[01:39] <felicity> Package build-essential is not available but is referred to by another packagae etc etc etc. E. Package build-essential has no installation candidate
[01:40] <felicity> ^^ what should I do
[01:40] <fryguy--> felicity: enable extra repositories
[01:40] <llasas> no, I am running this from vista fontstuff, just tell me what to do
[01:40] <tkach> duiu, it's on another computer. In Vista, the computer appears as "COMPAQ" and I can view all shared folders through that. I used to be able to do that in Ubuntu but since then I have reinstalled Hardy and changed routers (all the numbers are the same, it's just a new router)
[01:40] <felicity> fryguy--, I am trying to install from the cd cos I need ndiswrapper first before my net will work
[01:40] <fontstuff> wait, are you on the same machine?
[01:40] <llasas> yes fontstuff
[01:40] <duiu> tkach: Try typing in \\COMPAQ\
[01:40] <llasas> its the same laptop
[01:41] <duiu> tkach: in the network manager, that is
[01:41] <fontstuff> ah i'm not too familiar with Vista
[01:41] <fontstuff> i only have XP
[01:42] <elexodus_> ikonia: I think I just got hijacked...
[01:43] <Blaqlight> thats just plain funny, this driver compilation completely failed not once or more than once but several times, yet with xawtv the camera works perfectly
[01:43] <fontstuff> do you have any partitioning software for Vista?
[01:43] <ikonia> elexodus_: in what way ?
[01:43] <harpreet> fontstuff: wat wud u like to do my friend?
[01:43] <elexodus_> The DNS servers in my roughter kept getting switched
[01:44] <tkach> duiu, I'm sorry for the basic, possibly general knowledge questions, but where is network manager. Is it "Network" "Network proxy" or "network tools"
[01:44] <elexodus_> ikoniaThe DNS servers in my roughter kept getting switched
[01:44] <ikonia> elexodus_: contact your isp
[01:44] <duiu> tkach: sorry, try typing it in the file manager, I'm confusing OS's :)
[01:44] <duiu> tkach: in the address bar
[01:44] <fontstuff> i'm trying to help llasas get rid of ubuntu
[01:45] <Dedi> anyone managed to get ubuntu-modules running with a custom compiled kernel? (what i did yet: http://tinyurl.com/5szfrd )
[01:45] <gDD> hello, ask for a terminal emulator which support file drag & drop, just like Konsole, xfce-terminal and gnome-terminal, but low RAM resource use:)
[01:45] <Bodsda> tkach, top right hand corner of your screen is a little computer icon, right click--> preferences / double click    to get network manager (not on ubuntu atm so cant say exactly)
[01:46] <Bodsda> fontstuff, boot live cd then use mount the ubuntu hard drive and use gparted to wipe it...
[01:46] <Zahnon> Hi. I'm new to Ubuntu. I'd like to install custom kernel modules at boot. Where is the best place to do this?
[01:46] <ikonia> Zahnon: you just drop them into the kernel tree
[01:47] <harpreet> fontstuff: please refer by name otherwise we dont get messages,
[01:47] <fontstuff> yeah i think my tab key just broke :D
[01:47] <harpreet> fontstuff: well if u go in admin tools, computer mgmt, disk mgmg, right click on the disk u can get free space off and u can also delete any partition u like ,
[01:48] <Zahnon> ikonia: do you mean /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/
[01:48] <fontstuff> bye all
[01:48] <tkach> Bodsda, I'm sory I don't see a computer icon in the top right
[01:48] <Bodsda> tkach, an icon of a monitor?
[01:48] <duiu> tkach: Also, make sure you are actually connected to the network. You could also try typing in COMPAQ's ip address in the bar "\\ipaddress\". To get the ip address of a windows machine, go to that machine, open command prompt, type in ipconfig, and read the output.  I gotta go, can't help you anymore. Sorry.
[01:49] <Zahnon> ikonia: I'm not sure where you are talking about...
[01:49] <xttocs> How can I flash a terminal window on the task bar?
[01:49] <harpreet> xttocs: right click on it and add
[01:49] <tkach> duiu, thanks, bodsda I moved the computer icon to the desktop, but at this moment I can't right click anything that has "preferences" as a menu option
[01:50] <sacul> is it possible to transfer files from a telnet connection?
[01:50] <xttocs> harpreet: What do you mean?
[01:50] <deebus> can anyone help me figure out why my sound has decided to stop working?
[01:50] <Nutzebahn> Gparted loads, but it won't stop scanning for disks. I did edit my menu.lst file some time ago, though: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d79ce8b65 Help?
[01:50] <Bodsda> tkach, open a terminal and type     network-manager    then hit enter
[01:50] <sacul> i just realized that I still have an account on an old college network and I wanna pull the files off
[01:50] <xttocs> I want to programatically be able to alter myself by flashing the window, like windows does all the time even when it doesn't need to
[01:50] <xttocs> err
[01:50] <deebus> sacul: ftp is usually allowed if they're still allowing telnet
[01:50] <xttocs> programatically flash the window to *alert* myself
[01:51] <TiredWolf> xttocs: possibly echo -e "\a"
[01:51] <sacul> deebus: duh... will give that a shot.  thanks
[01:51] <deebus> heh
[01:51] <sybarite1> hm, running a live Ubuntu distro from USB memory here....  pure live mode. Gotta admit i cant really succeed in changing the key layout from US English to swedish, with our special chars
[01:51] <dez5y> Hi.  Using the nvidia driver 173.14.09 with my 8500GT - ubuntu will no longer use the resolution i was using (1440x900, which still works under Windows.)  i tried re-installig the drivers with envy, no dice.  I have no idea.. the driver is loaded, x displays, but the biggest resolution i can get it to use now is 1024x768, and i have a WS monitor so it looks crazy..
[01:51] <sybarite1> any ideas for that_
[01:51] <sybarite1> ?
[01:51] <Zahnon> So I have a .ko kernel module that I want to load via insmod. Where should I put this file? Do I need to add its name to a configuration file somewhere?
[01:51] <xttocs> TiredWolf: That just beeped
[01:51] <deebus> any ideas on how to get my audio back?  anyone?
[01:51] <TiredWolf> xttocs: yeah, i thought it'd possibly also flash the window, at least if it's in the background
[01:51] <Blaqlight> Im confused. [!] Didn't find compatible cameras. when I run lsusb I find this : Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger is it just not finding it because its misspelled or what?
[01:52] <xttocs> TiredWolf: I'm asking because I have IRSSI running and I want to be able to flash the window when I get new messages
[01:52] <deebus> ugh.  I hate ubuntu anymore
[01:53] <Nutzebahn> Why, deebus?
[01:53] <n-iCe> hi I have apache2, but how can I make to every user added by adduser name , have their own index.html, and not only the /var/www/index.html
[01:53] <joe_> DEDE
[01:53] <Zahnon> Is there a better channel to ask questions in?
[01:53] <Blaqlight> Nutzebahn: deebus should probably stick to windows.
[01:54] <Shpook> ARGH. So I finally get my network connected, and now my FTP client won't open for me to back everything up.
[01:54] <TiredWolf> xttocs, i believe the only possible way to achieve it is a bell, which is what i made you try. see in your terminal emulator's settings if there is a way to turn the audible bell into a visible flashing. if you can do that, then you can most likely also configure irssi to do it.
[01:54] <Nutzebahn> No.
[01:54] <Nutzebahn> to Blaqlight.
[01:54] <TiredWolf> xttocs: some people also have irssi scripts to get a pop-up balloon, or things like that, but i really don't know the details of that.
[01:54] <giacomo> hey can anyone help me with my wireless card?
[01:54] <Blaqlight> no?
[01:54] <xttocs> TiredWolf: I've seen those scripts, and I was going to modify one if I figured out how to flash the window
[01:55] <xttocs> TiredWolf: I'll give what you suggested a shot, though.  Thanks
[01:55] <giacomo> i figured out how to put it into monitor mode, but how can i switch it back to managed so i can connect to a network?
[01:55] <harpreet>  giacomo is it configured?
[01:55] <sybarite1> Zahnon: you could try #linuxhelp or even #linux, the people there are generally terribly helpful  ....  but dont whine if you dont get an instant reply
[01:55] <harpreet> giacomo:  u have to have networkmanager, do u have it?
[01:55] <giacomo> harpreet, configured?  what do you mean?
[01:56] <giacomo> harpreet: if that's what gnome has
[01:56] <Nimn> i need help using the terminal to create a partition
[01:56] <giacomo> harpreet: yes
[01:56] <harpreet> giacomo: i mean is it right card?
[01:56] <giacomo> harpreet: yes
[01:56] <Lloydie-t> I have a cron script which uses lame to convert wav files. but the files never seem to be created. The directories are set to 777. Any ideas?
[01:56] <TiredWolf> xttocs: see, for instance this is the instructions to do exactly what i described with Putty, but obviously you aren't using Putty as terminal: http://blog.ryara.net/2007/06/29/flashing-taskbar-with-putty-irssi-screen/
[01:56] <Zahnon> sybarite1: I don't plan on whining. I am in a hurry though and my question seems fairly simple.
[01:56] <dez5y> Hi.  Using the nvidia driver 173.14.09 with my 8500GT - ubuntu will no longer use the resolution i was using (1440x900, which still works under Windows.)  i tried re-installig the drivers with envy, no dice.  the driver is loaded, x displays, but the biggest resolution i can get it to use now is 1024x768, and i have a WS monitor so it looks crazy..
[01:56] <giacomo> you see, i put it into monitor mode be doing: sudo iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
[01:56] <harpreet> giacomo: go into network manager and look for available networks
[01:56] <giacomo> but when i try to switch back by running: sudo iwconfig mode managed
[01:56] <cypha> can i open a folder that i've navigated to in the terminal, graphically
[01:57] <giacomo> networkmanager freezes
[01:57] <xttocs> TiredWolf: yep, that's what I need
[01:57] <n-iCe> hi I have apache2, but how can I make to every user added by adduser name , have their own index.html, and not only the /var/www/index.html
[01:57] <Nimn> can someone help me, i cant get gparted to recognize my hdd
[01:57] <guillaume> hello, Im playing for the first time with xrandr ( (( on my laptop ) and when I'm on 2 screens my LVDS is showing tools bars shorter thaan the screen it self but on the VGA the tools bar is all... It's not a big thing, but maybe i can do an other thing so the tools bars on my LVDS is shoing corectly... ?!
[01:57] <GraniteGargoyle> anyone that can tell me how to enable 3d accel. on a radeon mobility...it recognizes the card but I don't think 3d is on
[01:57] <cypha> xttocs: if i've navigated to a directory in the terminal, is there a command to just see it graphically (so a folder window pops up)??
[01:58] <giacomo> harpreet: i have to restart for it to work... im just looking for a way to not restart
[01:58] <guillaume> * this is what I do: xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --output LVDS --mode 1280x768
[01:59] <TiredWolf> xttocs: no cigar, but http://osdir.com/ml/org.user-groups.linux.new-zealand.general/2003-12/msg00046.html
[01:59] <Nimn> can someone tell me what commands i need to use in terminal to delete and create a partition
[01:59] <TiredWolf> assuming you're on gnome
[01:59] <dumb_dumb> does ubuntu support all acer 4520 hardware?
[01:59] <harpreet> giacomo u can connect manually from terminal
[01:59] <giacomo> as in, what?
[02:00] <guillaume> when I use LVDS --mode 1280x800, the bar is way shorter
[02:00] <bazhang> dumb_dumb, you would need to run a livecd to check that
[02:00] <bogeyman> will ubuntu run on a macbook?
[02:00] <bazhang> bogeyman, yes
[02:00] <Nimn> can anyone help me with a harddrive problem
[02:00] <Blaqlight> Nimn: you can't use gparted?
[02:00] <johncoltrane> glitsj16 are you still there/
[02:00] <bogeyman> ok will the wifi etc work on it?
[02:00] <johncoltrane> ?
[02:00] <Gillpy> Nimn: use cfdisk or fdisk, both are fairly self-explanatory
[02:00] <bazhang> !macbook
[02:00] <bazhang> check that
[02:00] <bogeyman> i dont wanna dual boot lol
[02:00] <Nimn> gillpy: ok
[02:00] <bogeyman> i got a macbook gave to me formatted
[02:00] <bhoo> Hi is it possible to test a new splash screen from a shell?
[02:01] <TiredWolf> xttocs: even less of a cigar, but at least this makes it clear it's pretty hard to achieve with gnome-terminal - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-415172.html
[02:01] <Shpook> When I try to run filezilla from the command prompt, I get "unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?" and gedit gives "No protocol specified. cannot open display:" What can I do?
[02:01] <bazhang> read the second link titled macs
[02:01] <Dedi> Shpook: run it with sudo and not as root
[02:02] <TiredWolf> Shpook: you aren't running as root are you?
[02:02] <Dedi> !sudo Shpook
[02:02] <TiredWolf> Dedi: actually, that's graphical applications, so gksudo it is
[02:02] <johncoltrane> does anyone know what I should do, my ubuntu is freezing seconds after I boot
[02:02] <Nimn> Gillpy: it gives me  FATAL ERROR: Cannot open diskdrive
[02:02] <johncoltrane> no mouse response or anything
[02:02] <Dedi> TiredWolf: does not matter from console
[02:02] <bazhang> Dedi, you use the | to send it someone
[02:02] <TiredWolf> Dedi: oh yes it does
[02:02] <TiredWolf> !gksudo | dedi
[02:02] <guillaume> anyone has a clue ?!
[02:03] <bogeyman> that looks rly confusing
[02:03] <Shpook> dedi, tiredwolf, I ran with and without sudo, with the same result
[02:03] <dez5y> Hi.  Using the nvidia driver 173.14.09 with my 8500GT - ubuntu will no longer use the resolution i was using (1440x900, which still works under Windows.)  i tried re-installig the drivers with envy, no dice.  the driver is loaded, x displays, but the biggest resolution i can get it to use now is 1024x768..
[02:03] <bogeyman> im installing it from the live cd atm we will see what happens i guess
[02:03] <TiredWolf> Shpook: but you aren't *logged in* as root?
[02:03] <Dedi> TiredWolf: it does not, i never use gksudo from console
[02:03] <TiredWolf> Dedi: that just makes you lucky
[02:03] <Dedi> TiredWolf: you just have to enter the password in console instead of a grafic interface for it
[02:04] <Shpook> TiredWolf: No, not that I know of at least.
[02:04] <TiredWolf> Dedi: no, that's not the only difference. read the link
[02:04] <Dedi> Shpook: whoami
[02:04] <TiredWolf> Shpook: echo $DISPLAY
[02:04] <Gillpy> Nimn: try passing it the device name  'cfdisk /dev/hda'  for example
[02:04] <Shpook> Dedi, TiredWolf: :0.0
[02:04] <TiredWolf> Shpook: do both
[02:04] <Nimn> Gillpy: ok
[02:05] <Entropy51423> How do you start a separate X server and how do you switch between the tow
[02:05] <Entropy51423> two rather
[02:05] <Shpook> Dedi, TiredWolf: and I'm logged in as shpook
[02:05] <Nimn> Gillpy: I get the same error
[02:05] <TiredWolf> Entropy51423: on KDE, you start one with K / Switch User / Start New Session, i guess it's quite similar on GNOME. to switch back and forth, ctrl+alt+f7 and ctrl+alt+f9
[02:06] <Entropy51423> Okay, I am using Gnome, so anyone have any tips
[02:06] <TiredWolf> Shpook: well, i'm clueless
[02:06] <Entropy51423> Hang on with the answers
[02:06] <Shpook> Dedi, TiredWolf: As a background, my laptop took a nasty spill and has many problems now. I just want to open my FTP program to backup, then I'm going to attempt to use fsck
[02:06] <Entropy51423> I think I remember
[02:06] <Entropy51423> Is it Xinit?
[02:06] <Lloydie-t> Case you missed it ->I have a cron script which uses lame to convert wav files. but the files never seem to be created. The directories are set to 777 and the script runs fine manually. Any ideas?
[02:06] <Flannel> Shpook: "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot is the easiest way to fsck, by the way.
[02:06] <TiredWolf> Shpook: hmm. try "xhost +"
[02:07] <johncoltrane> how can I update ubuntu without an x server?
[02:07] <Gillpy> Nimn: can you post the output of 'fdisk -l'
[02:07] <Flannel> johncoltrane: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:07] <duiu> johncoltrane: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:07] <bogeyman> anyone experienced with installing 8.04 on a macbook?
[02:07] <Dedi> Shpook: why you want to open your ftp as root?
[02:07] <Entropy51423> That is how I got Red Hat Apollo to start X and Gnome on my Dads old computer
[02:07] <Nimn> Gillpy: there is no output
[02:07] <Shpook> Dedi: i don't I just want it open any way possible
[02:08] <guillaume> hello, Im playing for the first time with xrandr ( (( on my laptop ) and when I'm on 2 screens my LVDS is showing tools bars shorter thaan the screen it self but on the VGA the tools bar is all... It's not a big thing, but maybe i can do an other thing so the tools bars on my LVDS is shoing corectly... ?!     I do: xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --output LVDS , when I use LVDS --mode 1280x800, the bar is way shorter
[02:08] <Entropy51423> Does Xinit still work?
[02:08] <Shpook> Flannel: I tried, but it didn't work that way. I have to run fsck /dev/sda1
[02:08] <johncoltrane> Flannel, duiu thanks, I'll try that. My has been freezing since an update a couple of weeks ago, we'll see if that fixes it
[02:08] <DeadKennedy2880> quick question, im trying to install HP printer support, and i need 'pyqt' for GUI support. does it matter if i install pyqt 3 or pyqt 4?
[02:08] <duiu> johncoltrane: you could also try sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:08] <Nimn> Gillpy: when i use gparted it says there are no conected devices, and when i go through the install process, there are no partitions for me to choose from
[02:08] <xttocs> How do I echo an control sequence to gnome-terminal?
[02:08] <xttocs> as if I typed it
[02:09] <duiu> johncoltrane: that just updates packages, not the distro
[02:09] <Dedi> TiredWolf: well i think the most "problems" are obsolete, i used sudo alot and never seen problems. but good to know there can be :)
[02:09] <Nimn> Gillpy:  i was using this laptop on windows earlier, i woke it up from standby and after a few seconds it just foze
[02:09] <johncoltrane> duiu, thanks, ill try both
[02:09] <IdleOne> guillaume, have you tried right clicking on the bar and selecting properties and check the Expand box?
[02:09] <Nimn> Gillpy: then i had to do a forced restart and it said that there is some sort of boot error
[02:09] <Dedi> Shpook: DISPLAY=:0.0 filezilla (try this, my last idea)
[02:10] <Shpook> Would dpkg-reconfigure help any? I'm running in X right now, it just won't open most programs.
[02:10] <TiredWolf> xttocs: well i think you can just just about everything with echo -e, where \E is the escape character, and \xNNN can be an (hexadecimal) ascii character
[02:10] <nickrud_> DeadKennedy2880 according to the apt-cache depends hplip-gui, you want python-qt3
[02:10] <Nimn> Gillpy: also when i tried to run this live session of ubuntu, it took about half an hour for it to fully load up, it said there was a bunch of logical errors
[02:10] <Shpook> Dedi: :-) Same thing, worth a shot though.
[02:10] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud_: kk bro, thanks a bunch!!
[02:10] <Entropy51423> Does xinit still work to start a new X server>
[02:10] <nickrud_> DeadKennedy2880 why not just instal it from the repos?
[02:11] <guillaume> it's allredy cheked
[02:11] <xttocs> TiredWolf: thanks again
[02:11] <IdleOne> guillaume, that is the most help I can offer :/
[02:12] <guillaume> by the way I just got VGA --mode 1280x768@60 --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 to work great.. but now the empty space on my LVDS is on the botom of the screen ...
[02:12] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud_: install hplip from the repos?
[02:12] <Entropy51423> I am going to go test xinit
[02:12] <clayg> whats a good backup program?
[02:12] <nickrud_> DeadKennedy2880 yes
[02:12] <Gillpy> Nimn: I dont know what to make of that, sorry
[02:13] <guillaume> that empty space is not visible on the VGA
[02:13] <Nimn> Gillpy:  could it be a problem with my ram? idk, for all my laptop knows, the harddrive isnt evenconnected
[02:13] <Dedi> anyone managed to get ubuntu-modules running with a custom compiled kernel? (what i did yet: http://tinyurl.com/5szfrd )
[02:13] <guillaume> could it be a something ubuntu do to prevent something missing on the vga
[02:13] <DeadKennedy2880> i have hplip installed already, but the command "sudo hp-setup" doesnt do anything, just freezes up. so i thought id give the GUI version a try.
[02:13] <Entropy51423> It gave me this error with xinit: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[02:14] <bazhang> !backup
[02:14] <nickrud_> DeadKennedy2880 hm, I just ran the regular printing setup under system->admin, found my networked hp just fine, and has found every hp I've ever hooked up
[02:14] <Nimn> Gillpy: i guess i will use the ramchecker
[02:14] <nickrud_> DeadKennedy2880 I am running gnome, however
[02:14] <Entropy51423> It gave me this error with sudo xinit: Fatal server error:
[02:14] <Entropy51423> Server is already active for display 0
[02:14] <Entropy51423> 	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
[02:14] <Entropy51423> 	and start again.
[02:14] <FloodBot1> Entropy51423: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:15] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud_: i thought it would be the same for me, but my printer isint detected in system/admin/printers. im kinda taking shots in the dark. a bit of a learning experience
[02:15] <Entropy51423> I will be right back after a little research to see what I can find out
[02:16] <Entropy51423> Like I said it was Red Hat Apollo I used this with, it started in the command line
[02:16] <weirdbro> Is there any utility to allow things I compile to be kept in the Synaptic local package list?
[02:17] <nickrud_> DeadKennedy2880 try using localhost:631 from your browser
[02:17] <rafa_> hey can someone tell me how to have icons with no names on the desktop?
[02:17] <MordL> Suddently i can't hear any sound from all my Ubuntu processes Tho all Stream and Wine processes have sound normally this happened after installing Itunes
[02:18] <duiu> What happens if I have a cron job scheduled, except my computer is off when it's suppossed to run? (Just a backup)
[02:18] <IdleOne> duiu, it wont run
[02:18] <duiu> IdleOne: well yeah, but will it just wait until the next time it's schedueled?
[02:19] <GraniteGargoyle> how do I point terminal to a file in my documents to install it? it's flash for firefox
[02:19] <TiredWolf> i believe anacron will schedule it for next time you power on, though
[02:19] <IdleOne> duiu, yes
[02:19] <cypha> any pidgin alternatives that someone can suggest?
[02:19] <cypha> highlight me please
[02:19] <rafa_> help please?
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> cypha: kopete is about the best alternative, but i think it sucks compared to pidgin(just opinio)
[02:19] <rafa_> anyway to remove icon names [executables]
[02:19] <duiu> IdleOne: What if my computer gets turned off while it's running?
[02:19] <rafa_> ?
[02:19] <cypha> pidgin is giving me a problem
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> cypha: what problem is that?
[02:19] <IdleOne> duiu, then yout backup will be screwed
[02:19] <MordL> any1 could assist me?
[02:20] <cypha> it has a group that keeps changing its name depending on what my mouse i highlighting
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> cypha: now that is incredibly unusual
[02:20] <cypha> tell me about it
[02:20] <duiu> IdleOne: thanx
[02:20] <meshda> hello
[02:21] <Zahnon> good luck everyone
[02:21] <GraniteGargoyle> can anyone tell me how to install flash from "my documents"?
[02:22] <Zahnon> good luck everyone
[02:22] <san_zzz> hello
[02:23] <IndyGunFreak> cypha: have you tried to reinstall?
[02:23] <cypha> no
[02:23] <guido_> I've just installed kubuntu hardy heron and for some reason it doesn't properly recognizes my dell e228wfp. any thoughts?
[02:23] <MTecknology> how can I make a script that will make gnome-terminal start flashing in a script?
[02:23] <felicity> hello I am trying to install my wifi drivers and ndiswrapper keeps telling me invalid driver! anyone can tell me how to fix?
[02:24] <MordL> Suddently i can't hear any sound from all my Ubuntu processes Tho all Stream and Wine processes have sound normally this happened after installing Itunes anybody can lend me a hand plz?
[02:24] <xttocs> Is there a system message to flash a window on the taskbar?
[02:24] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud_: 'http://localhost:631' refuses to load. i should also mention i am supern00b when it comes to linux, and i hate setting up printers, even on windows. so dont get frustrated trying to help. my printer isint very important to me
[02:25] <weirdbro> Is there any utility to allow things I compile to be kept in the Synaptic local package list?
[02:25] <nickrud_> hm. That's very strange. Try  sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart , that address you tried to load interfaces to  cups. That may be you real problem
[02:25] <Entropy51423> GraniteGargoyle: Using the terminal type in: Flash, it should give you a list of packages, pick the one you want and type: sudo apt -get [package
[02:25] <Blaqlight> DeadKennedy2880: thats not a good way to ask for help :P
[02:25] <nickrud_> weirdbro you can create debs of your compiled stuff, and install them that way. Synaptic will track those
[02:26] <weirdbro> nickrub what tool does that?
[02:26] <DeadKennedy2880> Blaqlight: not a good way, but an honest way
[02:26] <weirdbro> nickrud_ what tool does that?
[02:26] <nickrud_> weirdbro sometimes checkinstall will do an adequate job, but creating the deb by hand is best, I'll find a link
[02:26] <Blaqlight> DeadKennedy2880: absolutely.
[02:26] <Gillpy> weirdbro: see also   http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-helpers.en.html#s-equivs
[02:27] <Entropy51423> Let me relog-in, I am trying to figure out how to start a new xserver and seem to have messed with the current one
[02:27] <Entropy51423> BRB
[02:27] <Shpook> Okay, great, now my computer is stuck in a loop of rebooting. It gets to the loading screen, then restarts, and just continues this cycle.
[02:27] <nickrud_> DeadKennedy2880 I can relate to frustration, but I've been doing this long enough that sincerity always trumps frustration ;)
[02:27] <Gillpy> !equivs
[02:27] <liquid89> !givemeaclue
[02:27] <nickrud_> Gillpy equivs substitute for debs, for dependency handling. Doesn't actually create debs
[02:28] <g3org3s> hello, anyone knows a software that i can use to broadcast on an internet radio ? ( running shoutcast server )
[02:28] <guido_> I've just installed kubuntu hardy heron and for some reason it doesn't properly recognizes my dell e228wfp. any thoughts?
[02:28] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud_: im gonna restart, after installing pyqt3 im getting a 'sudo: unable to resolve host' message.
[02:28] <nickrud_> !packguide | weirdbro
[02:28] <weirdbro> Gillpy Then wouldn't I need to make sure to keep the makefile of the program I installed in order to remove it later?
[02:29] <aCiD2> can anyone suggest a nice cheap usb webcam that will work in flash?
[02:29] <Entropy51423> How can I start a new xserver in Ubuntu using Gnome?
[02:29] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud_: then ill start this from the top, and give it a few more minutes of tinkering
[02:29] <sweetgum> can someone tell me the command to install stdio.h and other standard library features for gcc?
[02:29] <g3org3s> anyone knows a software that i can use to broadcast on an internet radio ? ( running shoutcast server )
[02:29] <Entropy51423> Not using Gnome but in Gnome
[02:29] <ozzloy> what's the proper ubuntu way to get a module to load at boot?
[02:30] <sarah_bear> hey guys, has anyone tried the intrepid ibex alpha3 release yet?
[02:30] <Flannel> sarah_bear: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks
[02:30] <nickrud_> sweetgum sudo apt-get install build-essential, that will include glibc6-dev
[02:30] <Gillpy> weirdbro: yeah, it was just a suggestion. Like nickrud_ says it would be better to create a deb
[02:30] <bogeyma1> antyone help me for installing my wireless on this macbook?
[02:31] <bogeyma1> the wired works just fine but dont see options for wifi
[02:31] <Entropy51423> How do you start a new xserver?

[02:33] <[tasty]freeze> I was using dd to make an image of a hard drive, I received a kernel panic for some reason, but rebooting the system with the secondary hard drive appears to have the system attempting to mount folders from that hd.  I am unsure, but when I unplug it, it boots up fine, otherwise, I get an error mounting /sys and /root/sys failed, then goes to some basic command line, can some advist.
[02:33] <darthanubis> my security updates check box has come unchecked, and won't allow me to recheck it?
[02:33] <bogeyma1> !wifi

[02:42] <bogeyma1> i dont see which drivers i need to get for this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy
[02:42] <koshari> tkach anyway with thay dir shared can you see it from the same machine via network? have you got the same network name?
[02:43] <nickrud> DeadKennedy2880   cat /etc/hosts , pastebin that
[02:43] <bob_> has anyone got parallels working under the latest ubuntu
[02:43] <digitalpsyko> bogeyma1: look in your restricted drivers
[02:43] <darthanubis> !repo
[02:43] <bogeyma1> it dont show em
[02:44] <bogeyma1> it didnt show nothing when i checked there
[02:44] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud: no pastebin necessary, its blank. just says '# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts'
[02:44] <nickrud> DeadKennedy2880 no clue how you lost it. A sec
[02:45] <tkach> Koshari, in network I can click on "Windows Network" and I see MSHOME which is the name of the workgroup, and this is farther than I've gotten before. However, clicking on MSHOME opens an empty folder. (I'm looking for the COMPAQ subfolder next)
[02:45] <darthanubis> where are the security repos?!?
[02:45] <darthanubis> my security updates check box has come unchecked, and won't allow me to recheck it?
[02:45] <sarah_bear> how do i enable desktop effects for ubuntu?
[02:46] <darthanubis> sarah_bear, try rt clicking the desktop?
[02:46] <koshari> tkach do you have permission on the compaq to access the shares from the machine oyu are on?
[02:46] <Vezir> argh, sound still only working in gnome
[02:46] <bob_> has anyone got parallels working under the latest ubuntu
[02:46] <nickrud> DeadKennedy2880  http://pastebin.com/m33456cc0 , you're going to have to boot into recovery mode and place that in /etc/hosts
[02:47] <tkach> koshari, as far as I know it's an open network...Vista (my other dual boot option) sees the workgroup just fine under Network
[02:47] <IdleOne> bob_, what parallels? what is the exact problem?
[02:47] <darthanubis> !security
[02:47] <`brooks> !root
[02:47] <bob_> having troubles with the mem=4096M doesn't register with parallels can anyone help
[02:47] <`brooks> ;[
[02:47] <koshari> tkach have you set the workgroup on your ubuntu box to mshome?
[02:47] <jackdaw> anyone know what on earth Conduit is meant to be useful for?
[02:47] <timsandtoms> Are there drivers for Microsofts "IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0"? It's a 4(5 if you count the scroll wheel) button wired optical USB mouse with a scroll wheel.
[02:48] <nickrud> DeadKennedy2880 interesting host name, by the way ;)
[02:48] <Fezzler> As administrator, not root, shouldn't I be able to manage/move/delete other users' files?  Doing some clean up of family pc
[02:48] <Gillpy> !conduit
[02:49] <tkach> koshari, no I haven't if you could tell me how to do that, I think that would work (it's what I had to do in Vista)
[02:49] <nickrud> Fezzler yes, just use your sudo powers. If you move files into their dirs, you'll need to chown them to the user if you expect them to be able to change them
[02:49] <xttocs> How do I fire a window singnal.. like an alert for a window
[02:49] <xttocs> Or tell a window to close
[02:49] <Fezzler> nickrud> I can't use GNOME?

[02:50] <GraniteGargoyle> is there a link to see the software in the repositories?
[02:50] <dez5y> Hi.  Using the nvidia driver 173.14.09 with my 8500GT - ubuntu will no longer use the resolution i was using (1440x900, which still works under Windows.)  i tried re-installig the drivers with envy, no dice.  the driver is loaded, x displays, but the biggest resolution i can get it to use now is 1024x768..
[02:50] <quentusrex> I have a computer that I connect to HDMI for the audio and video. It's an Nvidia chipset. Is there a way to automate the detection and configuration of the hdmi interface?
[02:50] <nickrud> Fezzler you could use  gksu nautilus  (using your sudo powers ;) but you still need to remember about changing owners
[02:50] <quentusrex> Rather than manually configuring the devices?
[02:50] <Vezir> how do i start pulseaudio?
[02:50] <jackdaw> @dez5y do you have the right lines in your x11 config to allow the resolution?
[02:50] <tritium> !envy | dez5y  (note that it's unsupported)
[02:50] <bob_> having troubles with the mem=4096M doesn't register with parallels can anyone help
[02:51] <Vezir> !daemon
[02:51] <Vezir> !pulseaudio
[02:51] <tkach> can someone tell me how to change the workgroup name in Ubuntu?
[02:51] <dez5y> tritium,  Thanks, but every oher method has failed.
[02:51] <jackdaw> tkach -> /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:51] <zenkk> EnvyNG worked for me after just about everything else on Ubuntu Forums failed.  YMMV
[02:51] <nickrud> bob_ isn't there a parallels help channel available? Or forums? you chances of getting good help here for mac software is poor
[02:51] <jackdaw> it's in there
[02:52] <bob_> thanx
[02:52] <tritium> tkach, jackdaw: sudo dpkg-reconfigure samba-common
[02:52] <dez5y> jackdaw, No, my xorg contains no lines regarding specific resolutions.  But using nvidia's setting manager, it won't use 1440x900.  Does the xorg.conf have to contain the 1440x900 in it for nvidia's setting manager to be able to support it?
[02:53] <DeadKennedy2880> nickrud: can i use nm-applet and manually enter them into that (under hosts)? if not, is recovery mode somewhat easy to use/understand? remember i am supern00b, and a walkthrough of recovery mode would waste your valuable time
[02:53] <JDStone> Can anyone explain exactly what eBox is/does?
[02:53] <GraniteGargoyle> how do I install a file I downloaded into the documents folder?
[02:53] <Blaqlight> JDStone: to find out go into a terminal and type apt-cache show ebox
[02:53] <xttocs> how do I tell a specific window to minimize programatically?
[02:54] <arrenlex> !ebox | JDStone
[02:54] <Blaqlight> arrenlex: of course that works too.
[02:54] <lucas_> is it possible to select icons by dragging a box around them on the desktop in xfce?
[02:54] <Fezzler> anyway to get a split window in gksu nautilus or do I have to open two instances via Terminal?
[02:54] <JDStone> thanks arrenlex
[02:54] <LunarOrca> does anyone know of any apache front ends for ubuntu?
[02:54] <Fezzler> I want to drag and drop
[02:55] <LunarOrca> apache guis
[02:55] <harpreet> Fezzler thats true
[02:55] <nickrud> DeadKennedy2880 not really a waste, it's important knowledge. First, copy that stuff into a file called hosts on your desktop. Then recovery mode reached by hitting escape when you see something about grub during boot. You'll see a menu with recovery mode. Boot into that. When it's booted, do cp /home/dk/Desktop/hosts /etc/hosts . Then type exit. You'll go to the gui login
[02:55] <tkach> tritium, jackdaw thank you, that worked...unfortunately it doesn't seem to have solved my problems.
[02:56] <zack1403> hey all, in trying to get WoW working and its dying right after the main intro.  can anyone point me towards a tutorial or good resources ?

[02:58] <darthanubis> sheesh
[02:58] <Arodon> so, I was playing with chroot and customizing a LiveCD and I seem to have messed something up with procfs. It isn't mounted (not in mtab) inside the chroot and it is only mounted once outside (normal), and yet the proc directory is still there and full of files, and I can't delete them because of weird permissions (r-xr-xr-x) what can I do?

[02:59] <LunarOrca> what?
[02:59] <IdleOne> try webmin

[03:17] <evon> Basara: can you help?
[03:17] <Sp0tter> bazhang, according to the ubunut help guides it can be 100% automated, even the partitioning with the preseed file.   I need to make an auto install cd so taht someone can reload my server with it in another state.  They are computer illiterate and do not have tiem to have me walk them through it.
[03:17] <bogeyman> still dont show nothing there
[03:17] <nickrud> Charruaenojao I take it gambas is from some other repo, I don't see it in my default ones

[03:19] <Basara> Wine offical web site must has some doc
[03:19] <nickrud> Charruaenojao not a clue, what repo are you getting gambas from? They should have instructions
[03:19] <Sp0tter> bazhang, someone in another help channel said ti couldnt be done too, but it clearly states that a 100% automated install i possible jsut by editing the isolinux.cfg to timeout on your default, and appending your detailed preseeeding file. (and setting the devconf priority to critical to skip the startup questions)
[03:20] <Charruaenojao> nickrud: Mmmm... Not really sure, I'm kind of a newbie here
[03:20] <GraniteGargoyle> no one on how to enable 3d accel.?
[03:20] <Basara> or you can search in Ubuntu forums

[03:20] <evon> ok thanks

[03:27] <n1zjd> the drive I installed ubuntu on is full, what do I need to do to add another drive?
[03:27] <evon> bazhang: i've checked most of those links and nothing worked for me. WC3 installs fine but I can't run the game. all i get is a no cd error
[03:27] <bazhang> evon, tried copying the cd to hard disk?
[03:28] <evon> no i have not
[03:28] <bazhang> evon, ie mounting the iso

[03:33] <szal> why do ppl have to play Windblows games on Linux anyway? :)

[03:37] <andresj> arrenlex: oh i just said thanks, that it works, and that the only issue with it is that it waits until its done to output everything :)
[03:37] <serinth> er irc.80h.org
[03:37] <arrenlex> andresj: Oh, hmm.
[03:38] <Kattman> Install ubuntu without a cd ?, Is wubi whai I need ?
[03:38] <Charruaenojao> bazhang: Oh! that tutorial! Thank you, I'm looking at it right now
[03:38] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, on windows..yes
[03:38] <russ> How can I determine what physical hardware device corresponds to "sdb1"?
[03:38] <arrenlex> andresj: Can you send me the files you're using? I don't want to create sample files long enough for it to be evident.
[03:38] <arrenlex> russ: sudo fdisk -l
[03:39] <andresj> arrenlex: well im using /usr/share/dict/words and an automatically generated file. i'll send it to you in a second that i generate a new one
[03:39] <Kattman> Debian_akroyed: will it let me dual boot ?
[03:39] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, yes
[03:40] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, thats what wubi was meant for..making dualbooting windows with linux easier
[03:40] <bazhang> Kattman, or usb
[03:40] <bazhang> !usb
[03:40] <russ> arrenlex, the devices listed are all "sdaN" (N from 1 to 6)
[03:40] <Kattman> Debian_akroyd: so just run Wubi ?
[03:41] <bazhang> ubottu lag
[03:41] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, yup
[03:41] <arrenlex> russK: Sorry, what do you mean?
[03:41] <Kattman> Thanks
[03:41] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, it will download ubuntu off hte internet, then set it up on a virtual partition
[03:41] <andresj> arrenlex: sending
[03:42] <szal> russ: then sdb1 is probably a removable device
[03:42] <arrenlex> russK: Sorry, that was for you. What do you mean? Can you be more specific about what information fdisk -l isn't showing you that you don't see?
[03:42] <russ> when waking up my machine from standby, I get a message saying there was an I/O error on sdb1
[03:42] <russ> yes, that could be it
[03:42] <arrenlex> russK: fdisk -l shows removable devices too. There's only one disk? Does dmesg | grep sdb say anything?
[03:42] <Kattman> Debian_akroye: virtual partition?
[03:43] <Kattman> do i have accesses to gparted ?
[03:43] <arrenlex> russK: for some stupid reason kopete auto-fixes russ to russk. o_O
[03:43] <szal> arrenlex: you're seriously lacking tabbing skillz today :P
[03:43] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, yes basically a virtual ahrd disk in other words
[03:43] <arrenlex> szal: It's not me, it's doing it automatically.
[03:43] <andresj> arrenlex: if i cant send it in IRC, its also in http://local.andresjriofrio.com/~andres/company-names-list
[03:43] <szal> o0
[03:43] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, when typing someones name, press tab so that it autocompletes the name
[03:43] <Kattman> Is there an option in wubi for this
[03:43] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, please
[03:44] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, no, no gparted..you can choose how much hard disk space you want to dedicate to ubuntu
[03:44] <russ> arrenlex, that
[03:44] <szal> arrenlex: no, it's not, the nick russK is present in this channel
[03:44] <russ> arrenlex, that is weird
[03:44] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, after ubuntu is installed, you can use gparted after then
[03:44] <arrenlex> szal: I realise that. Look:
[03:44] <Kattman> thanks
[03:44] <Gnea> arrenlex: try pressing tab more than once
[03:44] <arrenlex> russK: this is a test of the autocompletion
[03:45] <arrenlex> http://arrenlex.aa.am/screenshots/1139.png
[03:45] <Charruaenojao> bazhang: Thank you man! That's just what I needed!
[03:45] <bazhang> np
[03:45] <arrenlex> Compare my screenshot to the text. The screenshot is just before hitting enter.
[03:45] <debian_akroyd> Kattman, np
[03:45] <Gnea> arrenlex: sounds like a buggy kopete
[03:45] <bazhang> gparted with wubi? dont think so
[03:46] <russ> anyway, nautilus shows  3 removable devices, one of which was already removed, and another is a duplicate of an existing drive. how do i fix that?
[03:46] <Gnea> arrenlex: you may find better luck with xchat or irssi
[03:46] <virus> good evening all.. i've an odd question if someone has time
[03:46] <bazhang> russ, how are you removing the drive
[03:46] <Gnea> !ask | virus
[03:47] <russ> bazhang well, I think I right-clicked on it and selected "unmount drive", then physically removed it
[03:47] <virus> i'm looking for a audio streamer that will work witha  shoutcast server and is easy to install and use.
[03:47] <Blaqlight> ask your question, and you might just be surprised at your answer.
[03:47] <bazhang> russ, every time?
[03:47] <virus> i'm not really fimilar with linux so any help would be wonderful
[03:47] <russ> i dunno, maybe not ...
[03:48] <szal> as I always say..  don't IRC using messengers, even if they pretend to do IRC ;)
[03:48] <citizen42alpha> erm, vlc should do the trick.
[03:48] <virus> to stream out?
[03:48] <debian_akroyd> virus, try icecast? ive never used it but i hear that its basically like shoutcast
[03:48] <arrenlex> szal: I use it because I only have to start one program this way..
[03:48] <citizen42alpha> jah, vlc supports streaming out.
[03:49] <Blaqlight> szal: IRC has been around LONG before instant messeging
[03:49] <szal> Blaqlight: that's the exact reason
[03:49] <russ> bazhang, one is a usb hard drive that I never remove - that one is showing up twice in the "tree" list
[03:49] <virus> i'm aware how to setup a streaming / online server.. but i'm looking for soemthing to stream to that with linux
[03:49] <Blaqlight> szal: they IRC'd before they emailed
[03:49] <bazhang> russ, is it your fstab correctly
[03:49] <virus> with vlc is there another repo that i would need to stream out.
[03:49] <citizen42alpha> use VLC to stream to it.

[03:50] <russ> bazhang, how do I check that?
[03:50] <virus> you have a site for that russ
[03:50] <bazhang> !fstab
[03:50] <bastid_raZor> how do i see from CLI how much space a directory has in it? for example /mp3
[03:51] <Sylphid> bastid_raZor, du -h
[03:51] <russ> virus I'm sure I got it from synaptic package manager (system - > administration)
[03:51] <bastid_raZor> Sylphid; thanks.
[03:51] <amadle11> bazhang i want to get the i phone thekme on it
[03:51] <Blaqlight> bastid_raZor: df -h
[03:51] <virus> stream tuner.. kk.. i'll see if i can find it.
[03:51] <riegersn> Is there an application to create pdfs with chapters & bookmarks ?
[03:51] <bazhang> amadle11, that is using vista, correct?
[03:51] <amadle11> yes bazhang
[03:51] <arrenlex> bastid_raZor: du -sh directory/ <-- to produce only a total rather than listing all files
[03:52] <bastid_raZor> Blaqlight; df actually pulls all mounted drives.. du -h gives me what i want :)
[03:52] <bastid_raZor> arrenlex; okay
[03:52] <virus> russ do you know if that programs allows for media to be streamed out to a shoutcast server..
[03:52] <amadle11> bazhang are u there
[03:53] <Blaqlight> lol oh crap I typed du -h without a directory name.
[03:53] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650024 amadle11

[03:55] <riegersn> Is there an application to create pdfs with chapters & bookmarks ?
[03:55] <amadle11> hello

[03:55] <amadle11> i cant get it.
[03:55] <amadle11> idk how
[03:56] <Adondai> hey.... how can i increase the amount of space ive allocated WUBU
[03:56] <russ> bazhang, the /etc/fstab file doesn't list any of my removable drives
[03:57] <dutch> hey all. anybody have trouble switching resolutions with DVI? i just got an LCD, and it shows the desktop at 1280x1024, but i cant change it
[03:57] <szal> russ: I'd be worried if it did..
[03:57] <amadle11> can  someone help me get the i phone theme on my htc touch plz
[03:57] <debian_akroyd> Adondai, thats the thing i hate about WUBI, you have to reinstall wubi  in order to increase the size allocated to ubuntu
[03:57] <russ> szal, ok that's good then!
[03:58] <Adondai> seriousss
[03:58] <Adondai> grrrrrrr
[03:58] <Adondai> rararara
[03:58] <szal> russ: you can, probably for simplicity's sake, put a USB hard drive into fstab, but I doubt that this'd make much sense for pendrives or cameras or whatever
[03:58] <szal> normally fstab is for mounting stationary devices
[03:59] <Shak-> is there property list (.plist) editor for linux available?
[03:59] <dutch> russ: yeah fstab is really for shit that you want your computer always connected to
[03:59] <szal> Shak-: if it's plain text, any text editor will do
[03:59] <gene2> does anyone know udev well enough here?
[03:59] <gene2> like really well
[03:59] <russ> szal, I don't want to, I'm just trying to figure out why nautilus persists in listing a usb flash drive that has been physically removed.
[03:59] <Shak-> szal: I tried gedit and it wouldnt recognize it, vim gave me a bunch of garbage.. so Im pretty sure its not plain text
[04:00] <debian_akroyd> note that the admins of this room dont really like cussing at all
[04:00] <dutch> oh, alrighty then, didnt realize that. ill try and tone it down ;-)
[04:00] <debian_akroyd> thx

[04:02] <Sydero> text editors can Shak :P
[04:02] <LinuxIST> is there a conflict with ssb and ndiswrapper?

[04:02] <hackmo> hey there
[04:02] <Shak-> Sydero: read what I just said, every text editor i've thrown at it gave me garbage
[04:03] <ninjasense> whats better for hosting images flicker or imageshack?
[04:03] <debian_akroyd> done
[04:03] <hackmo> I seem to be having a problem with my sound, as in it's not working anymore and nothings changed since the last time it was working

[04:03] <Blaqlight> Shak-: I imagine vim or emacs might.
[04:03] <Sydero> well.... you could try winamp
[04:03] <Sydero> or whatever
[04:03] <dutch> Shak-: what are these plists? what generates them?
[04:03] <Sydero> an app that supports pls
[04:03] <ranfea> Hackmo, try opening a console and typing "LOL WUT"
[04:03] <Shak-> dutch: iphone config files

[04:04] <hackmo> ranfea, i'm pretty sure that wont work but thanks for the suggestion
[04:04] <szal> Blaqlight: you could as well throw atom bombs at sparrows :D
[04:04] <Shak-> Blaqlight: I tried vim and it wouldn't decipher it
[04:04] <Sydero> Does anyone know how to edit the menu fonts of firefox?
[04:04] <dutch> Shak-: why do you want to edit it by hand?
[04:04] <Blaqlight> szal: hey that sounds like a good idea, lemme try that ;-)
[04:04] <Shak-> dutch: i'm doing a bit of modding *cough*
[04:05] <Sydero> I'm sure foobar will work
[04:05] <will00> why does apache2 say apache2: could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName...?
[04:05] <dutch> Shak-: sounds like you're looking for a hex editor. are you modding it with a guide or something?
[04:05] <riegersn> irisht, i've tried most of these apps, none of them support adding chapters and bookmarks to pdf.
[04:05] <jhb1608> I have to ask this, but how do I update Labyrinth Mind-mapping to 0.4.1?
[04:05] <arrenlex> will00: It can't find a ServerName directive so it's warning you that it's using localhost as the servername. If you expect it to use localhost for the servername, put "ServerName localhost" into /etc/apache2/apache.conf
[04:05] <Shak-> dutch: pretty sure I don't need a hex editor, I just think its in some #(*$ propietary apple format so nothing is able to read it properly
[04:05] <Flannel> will00: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting
[04:06] <jhb1608> I have to ask this, but how do I update Labyrinth Mind-mapping to 0.4.1? I have 0.4.0 now.
[04:06] <dutch> Shak-: oh. well in that case you're probably SOL. but i dunno, have you googled thoroughly?
[04:06] <arrenlex> will00: Typically a server that is intended to be reached at floobaz.com will have floobaz.com as its server name
[04:06] <Shak-> dutch: yep, scoured the ubuntu forums as well
[04:06] <Blaqlight> Shak-: why not call apple's tech support, Im sure they'll be happy to help
[04:06] <Shak-> Blaqlight: funny
[04:06] <Shak-> dutch: I think I might have to get a windows app and use wine
[04:06] <Sydero> jhb: sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade should work
[04:07] <Flannel> jhb1608: Your version is.
[04:07] <bazhang> Shak-, for what
[04:07] <jhb1608> ok
[04:07] <russ> riegersn, there is no good substitute in Linux for Adobe Acrobat professional. it's a real problem IMHO.
[04:07] <Shak-> bazhang: a plist (properly list) editor
