[19:12] <erki> Cernex: I was just about to test something, w8
[19:12] <chetnick> mongolai: i have one HT omega striker, and i have the one that comes with motherboard.
[19:12] <relaciones> erki: can u help me....please
[19:13] <mariussss> mongolai: I see... thanks :) I don't think this is my case, as I only want to give Internet to a Playstation 3 device once in a while :)
[19:13] <unohu62> hello
[19:13] <geremy> zimbres: yes, and you can use irssi
[19:13] <dewente> T_Davis, what is the name of this opcion. port fowarding, static nat
[19:13] <geremy> zimbres: but it isnt called batch mode on linux
[19:13] <NemesisD> anyone know how to configure fstab to auto-mount drives based on UUIDs rather than device path? im using mdadm now and that causes my ntfs drive device path to jump around quite a bit
[19:13] <blip-> erki:  i just verified it... i put the files in a different location /var/www/mysite2  and now everything works fine :)      So i'll stick with this until i figure out how to flush the old stuff from /var/www/mysite.     thanks again.  take care
[19:13] <T_Davis> dewente: look for a DDNS option
[19:13] <mongolai> mariussss:  I was really referring to nosy neighbors piggybacking on your wireless :)
[19:13] <erki> blip-: Good on you mate!
[19:14] <zimbres> geremy, I just wanted to make sure i would ask it right.
[19:14] <erki> Cernex: I switched everything in prefernces:sound:sounds from "auto" to "pulseaudio". That might or might not have been a good idea, but I can have more than one app playing sounds now ;)
[19:14] <cristobalcolon> is it possible to use ekiga to call msn users?
[19:14] <dewente> T_Davis, i have two.  dynamic dns and dns server
[19:15] <Fougner> NemesisD, I think I can help you
[19:15] <Cyde> Hehehe ... I love FIOS. 20 minutes to download the 2129 updated packages in 8.10.
[19:15] <NemesisD> Fougner, ok cool
[19:15] <Cyde> I'm amazed Ubuntu's servers can sustain this speed on the first day of release.
[19:15] <Fougner> sudo vol_id -u /dev/sdXX
[19:15] <T_Davis> dewente: dynamic dns, but first go to dyndns.org and register a name, then port forward ftp to your static ip in your ubuntu box
[19:15] <Fougner> NemesisD, PM?
[19:15] <NemesisD> there's a release?
[19:15] <NemesisD> Fougner, sure
[19:16] <CelticLord> j file pluche!!
[19:16] <T_Davis> then put in the proper info in dynamic dns and youre golden
[19:16] <cristobalcolon> how can i use ekiga to call msn messenger?
[19:16] <hemant> Hi, Any users of file-browser-applet?
[19:16] <erki> cristobalcolon: I'm guessing you can't
[19:17] <ph4mp573r> cristobalcolon: do you know about aMSN?
[19:17] <sambagirl> i doint understand sudo nano
[19:17] <sambagirl> but it worked :)
[19:17] <erki> cristobalcolon: In fact I don't know any app except MSN Messenger that can call MSN Messenger. Proprietary protocol and all that.
[19:17] <sambagirl> who is nano?
[19:17] <T_Davis> !nano
[19:17] <erki> sambagirl: nano is a text editor
[19:17] <mx> Hi all !
[19:17] <sambagirl> ohh
[19:17] <mongolai> sambagirl:  that was like 2 hours ago!!
[19:17] <sambagirl> so you give nano sudo is that it?
[19:17] <mx> sorry bad my english
[19:17] <Cernex> erki: Didn't worked for me
[19:18] <mx> I no create samba admins in fds
[19:18] <sambagirl> now that makes sense
[19:18] <sambagirl> i was using pico
[19:18] <T_Davis> sambagirl: yes, thats running nano as root
[19:18] <mx> help
[19:18] <erki> Cernex: That sux. Maybe try something other than pulseaudio?
[19:18] <cristobalcolon> ph4mp573r, they have video support but not sound
[19:18] <mx> users and machine - no problems - all works, admins - no :(
[19:18] <sambagirl> usted habla espanol?
[19:18] <joaopinto> !es | sambagirl
[19:19] <sambagirl> ok
[19:19] <sambagirl> makes sense
[19:19] <erki> !samba
[19:19] <ph4mp573r> cristobalcolon: k, really I think your only mainstream cross-platform option is Skype.
[19:19] <hemant> again,, any users of file-browser-applet for gnome-panel?
[19:19] <sambagirl> so whenver you want to use a product you just sudo <product>
[19:20] <Cernex> erki, well, maybe changing the device from ALSA to Pulseaudio might do the trick?
[19:20] <sambagirl> clever
[19:20] <Cernex> erki, or rebooting the system, even
[19:20] <sambagirl> so where is root and how do i get t oroot?
[19:20] <mongolai> sambagirl:  we use sudo to get root permissions for text-based applications -- those that are run from the terminal. If you wanted to use a GUI app, like gedit, you would use gksudo.
[19:20] <sambagirl> as root
[19:20] <erki> Cernex: I didn't need to reboot, just changing to pulseaudio worked.
[19:20] <compton> how would I script this: while ping host.com; if ping reply beep
[19:20] <ph4mp573r> anyone have a Dell Inspiron 530?
[19:20] <erki> Cernex: Or maybe I did reboot.. Man, I'm getting senile...
[19:20] <cristobalcolon> i read that if u do<EMAIL_ADDRESS>you can call msn users via ekiga, can someone check?
[19:21] <Cernex> erki, and what do you have as your sound devive? ALSA or Pulse?
[19:21] <erki> Cernex: pulseaudio all the way
[19:21] <mongolai> sambagirl:  correct. "sudo nano" starts nano as root. "gksudo gedit" starts gedit as root
[19:21] <chillout25m> hi. I just upgraded from hardy to ibex. I get an error regarding Bad Key when I update the packages. How will I get a new key?

[19:35] <saml> is there a tutorial on how to setup a mail server? starting from DNS configuration
[19:35] <saml> !mail
[19:35] <dany_21a_> sani__: you need to set the listen-interface accroding, check /etc/mysql/my.cnf and search for <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:35] <JackZD8K> is there an xserver-xgl package that will run on 8.10 ?
[19:36] <JakeMon> mongolai: yes
[19:36] <nmh-j2graw> saml: do you know what server you want? what you want it to do?
[19:36] <Dan_swede> test
[19:36] <saml> nmh-j2graw, i want to recieve mail and send mail. i have port 25 open. but no MX record on DNS. i sent test emails to my domain.. but it's not arriving
[19:36] <favro> Dan_swede: fail
[19:37] <ReAn> hrm, k, minimalistic ubuntu, i installed xserver-xorg, xorg, and xdm, so now when i load x i have a nice little x-based console
[19:37] <nmh-j2graw> saml: does the server seem to work if you telnet to it (on port 25?)
[19:37] <saml> nmh-j2graw, yes it responds. i didn't send it through telnet though. let me try
[19:38] <Hamsun> anyone got lag?
[19:38] <Hamsun> like, major lag
[19:38] <mongolai> JakeMon:  I've done this before on a non-debian system before. Lemme see if I can figure out how ubuntu/debian does it...
[19:38] <nmh-j2graw> saml: what are you doing for dns?
[19:38] <saml> nmh-j2graw, i wasn't sure if i should have MX entry in my DNS or not
[19:38] <nmh-j2graw> saml: yes
[19:39] <elhoir|wrk> hello, im using 8.04, i have installed an usb wireless adapter in my pc and ubuntu crashes so often. Do u think it will be better supported in 8.10?
[19:39] <JackZD8K>    im attempting to get Compiz running on my laptop on 8.10 (rc) i have an ATI mobility x600. Is there a version of xserver-xgl that i can install? will the one for 8.04 run fine on 8.10? (there doesnt seem to be a list for it in the repositories for 8.10 atm)
[19:39] <saml> nmh-j2graw, hrm.  my mail server is mail.mydomain.com
[19:39] <mongolai> JakeMon:  have you had a look at "man adduser" yet? if not, you should.
[19:39] <xtian_> im running ubuntu 8.04.1 w/ an nvidia 8600GT, and everything was working fine until i tried to install nvidia-gtx and now the OS wont detect my screen, and only allows me to operate in 800x600. It was working fine before
[19:39] <nmh-j2graw> saml: (sorry, I wasn't sure you wanted to start at the notion of email or what)
[19:39] <xtian_> can anyone help?
[19:39] <nmh-j2graw> saml: what are you doing for dns?  are you running your own name server? is someone else (your registrar) serving dns for you?
[19:40] <saml> nmh-j2graw, i use my registrar. i can edit dns entries using their web interface
[19:40] <Slart> xtian_: can you pastebin the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[19:41] <nmh-j2graw> saml: I think you want to just add the mx entry and (assuming everything else is done) wait for it to propagate.
[19:41] <Slart> !paste | xtian_
[19:41] <xtian_> Slart: one second
[19:41] <jim_p> anyone having a working nvidia 9xxx series here? how did you install the drivers, if not from synaptic
[19:41] <redheat> !wifi
[19:41] <genii> saml: And you are running bind on the machine IP you have pointed the registrars's control panel at?
[19:41] <saml> nmh-j2graw, alright i'll read up on MX entry and stuff
[19:42] <Parsec300> Is it possible for Firestarter to monitor all network connections? This would be nice if you alternate between internet devices. Like LAN when at home and WiFi somewhere else.
[19:42] <saml> genii, i don't know what is  bind
[19:42] <genii> nmh-j2graw: The time tag also needs to always be updated or it will never propogate
[19:42] <genii> saml: It is the dns serving software
[19:42] <blue_mushroom> How do I set the dpi ?
[19:42] <nmh-j2graw> genii: if the editing is via a web interface, they probably deal with that
[19:42] <blue_mushroom> What application do I need to install ?
[19:42] <xtian_> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62141/
[19:42] <rober2> hello guys
[19:42] <blue_mushroom> screen Display DPI
[19:43] <Slart> xtian_: thanks, I'll have a look. be back in a second
[19:43] <JackZD8K> ok it seems that its an issue with fglrx and 8.10
[19:43] <mongolai> JakeMon:  it looks like you have to edit /etc/adduser.conf  and possibly some other files...
[19:43] <xtian_> thanks
[19:43] <rober2> can somebody help me please with my little homenetwork trouble?
[19:43] <genii> nmh-j2graw: I was thinking on his local box which it maybe was pointed to but it appears he likely isn't runninga any dns serving app like bind9 etc etc
[19:43] <blue_mushroom> I s this the correct place to ask? :D
[19:43] <blue_mushroom> About Display Settings?
[19:43] <blue_mushroom> :D
[19:43] <rober2> I need to connect two ubuntu pc's
[19:44] <SchneeSchwarz> !anyone | rober2
[19:44] <Slart> xtian_: if you look at line 23, "(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe"
[19:44] <redheat> hi everyone, I have a question about the WPA supplicant, does it come preinstalled with ubuntu 8.04 or should I install it if I want my wireless adapter to connect to my WPA-secured wireless nettwork
[19:44] <yabuk> how to install a Bematech printer?
[19:44] <xomp> !purekde > xomp
[19:44] <blue_mushroom> what's the problem then rober2
[19:44] <blue_mushroom> ?
[19:44] <Slart> xtian_: that means something went wrong when it tried to load the regular file which is just called /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:44] <xtian_> ok
[19:44] <nmh-j2graw> genii: well, it is a useful note for those who are running a nameserver (or poking at one without the shiny interfaces)
[19:44] <saml> do I need to bother with MX record?  mail.mydomain.com points to my mail server ip. I can telent to it on port 25.  I first want it to recieve emails
[19:44]  * kwabbles is away: Gone away for now.
[19:45] <xtian_> i see that
[19:45] <Slart> xtian_: so it falls back on a safe mode config.. which just runs with low res vesa mode
[19:45] <quibbler> xtain_: nvidia-gtx I think you need to install  nvidia-gtx-new instead
[19:45] <xtian_> Slart: how would i find out what is causing it to use that file?
[19:45] <rober2> blue_mushroom: I can't connect for some reason....
[19:45] <nmh-j2graw> saml: I am not certain you NEED to, but I think it is a very good idea.
[19:45] <scientes> how can i prevent oom problem on my ubuntu box?
[19:45] <scientes> problems
[19:46] <redheat> so folks does anyone know anything about WPA supplicant? should I install it on Ubuntu if I want my network to use WPA?
[19:46] <augusto_> ciao
[19:46] <redheat> any help is appreciated
[19:46] <blue_mushroom> rober2:  so you're using a cross-over cable to connect two PCs ?
[19:46] <rober2> blue_mushroom: I set up the adapters like this: ip <IP_ADDRESS>/101, subnet <IP_ADDRESS>, gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:46] <scientes> i run the vm and then the next day cant open anything or even ssh cause all the memory is gone
[19:46] <rober2> yes, I use a cross-over cable
[19:46] <xtian_> Slart: do you want me to post my xorg.conf file?
[19:46] <blue_mushroom> OK...
[19:46] <blue_mushroom>  why not try the <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:46] <blue_mushroom> and <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[19:47] <usser> redheat, you dont really need to bother about wpa_supplicant, in ubuntu every network setting is handled by network manager
[19:47] <mongolai> xtian_:  use a poastebin
[19:47] <mongolai> *pastebin
[19:47] <rober2> blue_mushroom: ping works
[19:47] <xtian_> ok
[19:47] <xtian_> doing it now
[19:47] <blue_mushroom> Oh.
[19:47] <blue_mushroom> OK rober2
[19:47] <saml> oh the postfix log says: address not listed for hostname blah.blah.amazon.com
[19:47] <xtian_> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62145/
[19:47] <redheat> usser, the problem is I can't get connected to my WPA-secured network, no matter what..I thought it might be that WPA supplicant app, I just don't know what to do more
[19:47] <saml> I'm running ubuntu on amazon EC2
[19:48] <rober2> but I can access the other pc with nautilus
[19:48] <usser> redheat, what wireless card do you have? make model?
[19:48] <jim_p> anyone having a working nvidia 9xxx series here? how did you install the drivers, if not from synaptic
[19:48] <saml> and I have DNS configured so that mail.mydomain.com will hit that amazon instance
[19:48] <mongolai> xtian_:  what was your problem again?
[19:48] <blue_mushroom> Then what's the problem then rober2  ?
[19:49] <redheat> ok it's a Belkin USB wireless adapter F5D9050B, and it uses a Ralink driver rt73usb
[19:49] <Slart> xtian_: sorry.. got a phone call.. yea.. xorg.conf file.. right.. I'll have a look
[19:49] <KKyle_> I just finished installing ubuntu and the first thing I notice is that the login screen doesn't take up the whole screen it's just in the upper left corner, the same goes for my desktop
[19:49] <blue_mushroom> can't access the first PC with the second?
[19:49] <xtian_> mongolai: my system wont detect my screen and it wont let me change into the correct res (1440x900)
[19:50] <xtian_> mongolai: it was working fine before i tried to install the nvidia-glx package
[19:50] <mongolai> xtian_:  OK that's what i thought. do you know how to edit files and nknow how to "comment out" lines?
[19:50] <PerfectExodus> Hey! What would cause 8.10 to hang on boot ever now and then?
[19:50] <xtian_> mongolai: yes i do
[19:50] <nmh-j2graw> saml: if you haven't looke at this already, you may want to see: http://www.postfix.org/faq.html
[19:50] <Ben> hi guys, looking into hlds to serve counterstrike from my ubuntu server 8.04 but can't find the installer on steampowered.com, just hlsdupdatetool.bin anyone know where I need to look next?? cheers
[19:50] <ay^> !intrepid | PerfectExodus
[19:50] <xtian_> mongolai: Slart is also helping me on this issue
[19:50] <cyban> Will evolution work with Gmail or somethin?
[19:50] <saml> nmh-j2graw, yup i'm on it
[19:50] <Slart> xtian_: it's set to use the "nv" driver.. try changing that to nvidia
[19:50] <rober2> blue_mushroom: I can't acces the other pc
[19:50] <xomp> cyban, yes
[19:50] <Slart> xtian_: if you've got the binary driver installed
[19:50] <cyban> IMAP?
[19:51] <usser> redheat, never dealt with ralink sorry. but you may try to install ubuntu backports modules. they help sometimes
[19:51] <redheat> usser, did you get the model I wrote..it's F5D9050B and it uses rt73usb linux driver
[19:51] <mongolai> xtian_:  cool. maybe Slart has better ideas. Also comment out the modeline and gamma lines from section monitor, and the subsection display in section screen
[19:51] <redheat> sorry for bold fons
[19:51] <xomp> cyban, yes
[19:51] <redheat> fonts*
[19:51] <cyban> thx
[19:51] <usser> redheat, yea i got it look above ^
[19:51] <xtian_> Slart: looking now, you mean in the xorg.conf file right?
[19:52] <Slart> xtian_, mongolai: indeed.. I agree about the modelines.. they ought to be discovered automagically
[19:52] <Slart> xtian_: yes..
[19:52] <rober2> blue_mushroom: smb:///<IP_ADDRESS> couldn't be found
[19:52] <Slart> xtian_: line 26
[19:52] <xtian_> Slart: ok, how do i change the modelines?
[19:52] <Slart> xtian_: just remove them
[19:52] <blue_mushroom> Why are you complicating the situation rober2 ?
[19:52] <blue_mushroom> Smb?
[19:52] <blue_mushroom> Wait.
[19:52] <blue_mushroom> One's with Windows?
[19:53] <xtian_> Slart: ok, are you talking about line 35?
[19:53] <mongolai> xtian_:  there is only one modeline there. just comment it out. also comment out the whole subsection "Display"
[19:53] <redheat> oh ok..thank you so much usser for the info..I'll try to see what's those ports modules
[19:53] <redheat> thank you again..
[19:53] <rober2> no windows
[19:53] <mongolai> xtian_:  I take that back!!
[19:54] <Ben> anyone here running HLDS on ubuntu server? cant find the downloads
[19:54] <rober2> shouldn't I use smb?
[19:54] <wardolb> if i starting installing xfce through an ssh connection can i close my ssh client in windows and the installation continue?
[19:54] <mongolai> xtian_:  just comment out the "Virtual" and "Modes" lines of SubSection "Display", and also the modeline
[19:54] <mgolisch> Ben: what downloads?
[19:54] <Slart> xtian_: yup
[19:54] <blue_mushroom> rober2: then why are you using smb?
[19:54] <blue_mushroom> No.
[19:54] <joaopinto> wardolb, use: nohup command&
[19:54] <usser> wardolb, no as soon as u disconnect all the program that u ran will quit
[19:54] <blue_mushroom> use nfs
[19:54] <xtian_> mongolai: ok \n Slart ok
[19:54] <usser> wardolb, nohup ^
[19:54] <Ben> mgolisch: I cant find where to get hlds for linux :(
[19:55] <joaopinto> wardolb, or screen, which allows to resume the terminal session
[19:55] <blue_mushroom> that's the linux way of accessing things
[19:55] <blue_mushroom> Smb is a translation for accessing windows shares
[19:55] <blue_mushroom> or sharing on a windows network
[19:55] <blue_mushroom> (samba)
[19:55] <wardolb> well i already started it so i guess im just gonna have to wait it out..
[19:55] <rober2> blue_mushroom: hmm..nfs?
[19:55] <wardolb> thanks
[19:55] <mongolai> xtian_:  it should look like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62146/
[19:55] <mgolisch> Ben: on their website?
[19:55] <blue_mushroom> Wait///
[19:56] <blue_mushroom> rober2: I'm going to link you to a page
[19:56] <mongolai> Slart:  ^^does my paste look ok to you?
[19:56] <xtian_> mongolai: thats what i have
[19:56] <joaopinto> wardolb, if you stop it it will resume downloading from the point it was stopped (assuming it is still downloading)
[19:56] <rober2> the nautilus connection dialog says no where nfs
[19:56] <xtian_> mongolai: replacing the file now
[19:56] <zaapiel> sookies mine!
[19:56] <wardolb> yea
[19:56] <rober2> ok, thanks
[19:56] <Slart> mongolai: checking
[19:56] <Ben> mgolisch the only file they have that mentions linux is hldsupdatetool.bin and their support section doesnt mention linux at all :(
[19:56] <Decepticon> what tool do i use to administer wifi?
[19:56] <xtian_> mongolai: done
[19:56] <wardolb> it will continue if i stop it and start it on the actual computer
[19:56] <Slart> mongolai, xtian_ : sure.. looks good to me
[19:57] <xtian_> Slart: done
[19:57] <wardolb> ?
[19:57] <marcelo> Is there any other way to switch between terminals other than Crtl Alt Fn?
[19:57] <mongolai> cool beans. I hope it works!
[19:57] <blue_mushroom> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_(protocol) rober2
[19:57] <xtian_> mongolai, Slart: do i just restart now?
[19:57] <komputes> Decepticon: your wireless access point (router) or your wireless controller (chip on laptop)
[19:57] <mongolai> xtian_:  yeppers
[19:57] <mgolisch> Ben: http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
[19:57] <xtian_> mongolai, Slart: how do i know that it will use that file and not the failsafe one?
[19:58] <Decepticon> komputes im asking about connecting to wifi, administering wifi connections on ubuntu, what software to use for this purpose.
[19:58] <Slart> xtian_: it only uses the failsafe one if the ordinary one doesn't work
[19:58] <xtian_> mongolai Slart: ok, ill be back in a bit
[19:58] <mongolai> Slart:  you should have mentioned ctrl+alt+backspace :)
[19:58] <Ben> mgolisch i have  the update tool... will that install the whole thing ? its really unclear
[19:58] <blue_mushroom> Hmm, can anyone tell me please how to set a higher dpi for desktop fonts in ubuntu?
[19:59] <Slart> mongolai: hehe.. I suppose so, yes
[19:59] <mgolisch> Ben: yeah
[19:59] <Decepticon> connecting to wifi, administering wifi connections on ubuntu, what software to use for this purpose on ubuntu?
[19:59] <Ben> mgolisch ah ok ta, thats where im being stupid. it always comes down to me being stupid, its just a case of finding where ;)
[19:59] <linuxlover69> Does any of you know how to use ctr alt del in ubuntu
[20:00] <inik> blue_mushroom -preferences - apearance-  fonts
[20:00] <mgolisch> linuxlover69: what do you mean?
[20:00] <mongolai> linuxlover69:  are you trying to reboot?
[20:00] <blue_mushroom> I figured out :)
[20:00] <blue_mushroom> THank you very much mgolisch
[20:00] <blue_mushroom> I just reached that page
[20:00] <linuxlover69> no like to get the process manager up
[20:00] <blue_mushroom> I never for one second thought about looking at fonts
[20:00] <blue_mushroom> I was trying to find dpi, lol :)
[20:01] <xtian_> Slart, mongolai: didnt work
[20:01] <andychinghe> carnopen
[20:01] <ubuntu_todd> What's the mean of %U after a command like rhythmbox in gnome applications, rhythmbox %U?
[20:01] <xtian_> Slart, mongolai: i still got the message before the login screen that tries to get me to config the resolution
[20:01] <BetaTest> ubuntu doesnt connect to the internet, even if its just the livecd, can anybody help me please?
[20:02] <Slart> xtian_: hmm.. you do have the nvidia restricted driver installed?
[20:02] <filth_> hmm. i was wondering whether it was possible to change the resolution to the bootsplash? you know, the startup ubuntu GUI loader interface.
[20:02] <bmunger> what tool exists for ubuntu/kubuntu to rip a dvd to ipod video format?
[20:02] <xtian_> let me check
[20:02] <hypn0> blue_mushroom: it should be under screen resolution shouldn't it
[20:02] <nmh-j2graw> linuxlover69: I usually use top / ps
[20:02] <blue_mushroom> hypn0: that's where I looked first
[20:02] <usser> bmunger, ffmpeg or mencoder
[20:02] <blue_mushroom> It appears it isn't there
[20:02] <BetaTest> if nobody knows can i be redirected somewhere?
[20:02] <blue_mushroom> it's under Apearance/Fonts
[20:02] <xtian_> yes
[20:02] <bmunger> usser: does it remove the nasty copy protection?
[20:02] <xtian_> Slart: yes
 copy control </>
[20:03] <linuxlover69> nmh-j2graw:whats top / ps
[20:03] <hypn0> blue_mushroom: I meant it shouldn't be under fonts :-)
[20:03] <mongolai> xtian_:  did you install ubuntu with "Safe graphics mode" or whatever it's called
[20:03] <shane2peru> !intrepid
[20:03] <usser> bmunger, no for dvd protection u have to jump thru some hoops with libdvdcss.
[20:03] <blue_mushroom> Yeah. it shouldn't
[20:03] <xtian_> Slart: when i installed ubuntu? no
[20:03] <nmh-j2graw> linuxlover69: commandline programs. open a terminal, type 'top'
[20:03] <blue_mushroom> That's where it's intuitive to be under display.
[20:03] <cyban> anyone know which encryption for evolution to pull gmail IMAP?
[20:03] <xtian_> mongolai: the damn thing worked when i installed ubuntu
[20:04] <usser> bmunger, vlc should let u rip dvd to a divx or something similar
[20:04] <BetaTest> anybody at all?
[20:04] <cyban> er rather which encryption method I should choose to be able to get my gamil through IMAP to Evolution
[20:04] <blue_mushroom> Or if not a link in display that leads to the one in fonts
[20:04] <hypn0> blue_mushroom: file a bug with gnome I think :-)
[20:04] <xtian_> mongolai: its only now that its not working, after i tried updating the driver
[20:04] <bmunger> usser: ok i will research that, thanks
[20:04] <blue_mushroom> lol :)
[20:04] <mongolai> xtian_:  Ohhhh...
[20:04] <blue_mushroom> I think that's a feature request hypn0  :D
[20:04] <mongolai> xtian_:  hmmm
[20:04] <Slart> xtian_: you could always try envyng.. might work for you
[20:04] <xtian_> Slart: i tried that as well
[20:05] <xtian_> Slart: after it started doing this i have tried uninstalling nvidia-glx-new and installing nvidia-glx
[20:05] <mongolai> xtian_:  is your xorg.conf the same as the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/62146/   or did it revert to something else?
[20:05] <xtian_> Slart: i tried using envyng - no dice
[20:05] <BetaTest> !internet
[20:05] <xtian_> mongolai: let me check
[20:05] <Slart> xtian_: I would try uninstalling everything nvidia using the "completely remove" option.. or purge if you're using command line
[20:06] <xtian_> mongolai: its the same as we set it to
[20:06] <xtian_> Slart: ok, how do i do that?
[20:06] <xtian_> Slart: i like the command line
[20:06] <BetaTest> Slart, mongolai either one of you have a solution for me? :/
[20:07] <Slart> BetaTest: you haven't really given us much to work with.. how do you connect to the internet normally? modem? wireless? ethernet?
[20:07] <mongolai> BetaTest:  what's your problem?
[20:08] <xtian_> Slart: would apt-get remove --purge nvidia work?
[20:08] <BetaTest> mongolai ubuntu won't connect to the internet at all, not even off the livecd i downloaded from the official site
[20:08] <Slart> xtian_: perhaps apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[20:08] <celestin><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:08] <xtian_> Slart: thats what i was just going to do, trying now...
[20:08] <BetaTest> both guts (7.1) and hardy (8.04) refused to, even if i install it
[20:09] <BetaTest> gutsy*
[20:09] <celestin> #mo-fansub
[20:09] <Flannel> celestin: Please stop.
[20:09] <Flannel> celestin: if you're trying to join, use /join #channel
[20:09] <shell> slart
[20:09] <mongolai> BetaTest:  do you have cable internet, or dial-up, or maybe dsl?
[20:10] <shell> Slart, i know the bset way
[20:10] <BetaTest> cable
[20:10] <BetaTest> see, thing is, right now im running it via vmware
[20:10] <zezu> I'm trying to use a serial -> USB adapter, how can i tell which tty it would be using ?
[20:10] <BetaTest> and even still its no go
[20:10] <xtian_> Slart: ok, everything is removed
[20:10] <turcko> help, anyone can helpme with network configuration ????
[20:10] <Slart> xtian_: reboot.. and then try installing it using  envyng
[20:10] <mongolai> BetaTest:  what is the host operating system?
[20:11] <xTheGoat121x> Hi everyone... anyone know a way to improve the max volume in Ubuntu?  100% in Ubuntu is only about 50% of what it is in Windows.
[20:11] <shell> xtian_, are you having issues with nvidia ????????????
[20:11] <shell> mongolai,  do alsamixer
[20:11] <nmh-j2graw> zezu: what does the driver documentation say?
[20:11] <shell> in console: alsamixer
[20:11] <xtian_> shell: yes, Slart and mongolai are helping me
[20:11] <BetaTest> mongolai: Vista
[20:11] <mongolai> shell:  redirect that to xTheGoat121x
[20:12] <shell> xtian_,  theres a better way
[20:12] <zezu> nmh- i haven't installed any drivers for it, it is ftdi and i think ubuntu has them built in
[20:12] <xTheGoat121x> mongolai, shell, it's already at 100%
[20:12] <lordredyen> hi there
[20:12] <blue_mushroom> Thanks everybody, good night! :)
[20:12] <xtian_> Slart: heres the result of that command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62165/
[20:12] <xtian_> shell: whats that?
[20:12] <lordredyen> i have a problem compiling linuxwacom
[20:12] <mongolai> BetaTest:  so you're running ubuntu in a virtual machine hosted on Vista, but ubuntu can't connect to the internet. Also, when you try the ubuntu livecd, you still can't connect. Is that about the jist of it?
[20:12] <neo__> Hi!
[20:12] <Stormx2> LordDicranius, why are you compiling? What's the problem?
[20:12] <shell> xtian_,  install envy
[20:12] <xtian_> shell: i already tried that
[20:13] <xtian_> shell: it didnt work
[20:13] <Slart> xtian_: looks good so far
[20:13] <nmh-j2graw> zezu: great, try it and let me know what happens!  It might give you something like /dev/ttyUSB (or you can look at what you have before and after plugging it in)
[20:13] <shell> xtian_,  do you have hardy ??
[20:13] <BetaTest> mongolai for the most part, after installing ubuntu and booting that up, still no go
[20:13] <xtian_> Slart, mongolai, shell: restarting now, back in a bit
[20:13] <xtian_> shell: yes
[20:13] <lordredyen> when im trying to make drivers
[20:13] <lordredyen> make says
[20:13] <lordredyen>  Building linuxwacom drivers for 2.6 kernel. ***Note: Drivers not enabled as modules in your kernel config but requested through configure are NOT built
[20:13] <LordDicranius> Stormx2 - wrong "lord" :-p
[20:13] <Marupa> This is less a support question and more a general one. In everyone's opinion, what is the easiest 3D modelling tool to use?
[20:13] <mongolai> xTheGoat121x:  did you enable all the volume properties in the Volume control preferences?
[20:13] <zezu> nmh-j2graw, thanks got it does use ttyUSB0
[20:13] <Stormx2> LordDicranius: Sorry :(
[20:13] <shell> xtian_,  and you started anvy from console without X  ??
[20:14] <Tundrayeti312> yeah happend again
[20:14] <sani__> dany_21a_: I can see bind-address <IP_ADDRESS> but what can I do for it?
[20:14] <nmh-j2graw> zezu: great, that is something I am going to be poking at later on
[20:14] <Stormx2> lordredyen: Why are you compiling them?
[20:14] <sani__> dany_21a_: I mean how can I get it work for other PC's in home or stuff
[20:14] <Stormx2> lordredyen, would sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom not do the same job?
[20:14] <lordredyen> i have a tx2000 so touch screen doesnt work}
[20:14] <Decepticon> what software to use for connecting to wifi, administering wifi connections, on ubuntu?
[20:14] <zezu> yea, picked up a beagleboard, nice little piece of hardware
[20:14] <LordDicranius> Stormx2: heh it's OK :-P
[20:14] <mongolai> Marupa:  blender is a little difficult to "get" but there is a method to the madness, and if 3d modelling is something you'd like to do, it's a good tool to know how to use
[20:15] <dany_21a_> sani__: comment that line ("#" infront of if) and restart the mysql server... this means, it listens to all interfaces.. google for further infos
[20:15] <xTheGoat121x> mongolai, yes, I did.  I've tried everything I can possibly think of; currently, I'm doing a search for my sound card on ubuntuforums.
[20:15] <lordredyen> i have reinsalled many times xserver-...-wacom
[20:15] <r3c0n> i just upgraded to intrepid but im experiencing issues :/ as an example sound in wine is choppy
[20:15] <nmh-j2graw> zezu: hopefully it will work easily the first time around
[20:15] <Flannel> r3c0n: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks.
[20:15] <r3c0n> thx
[20:15] <Marupa> mongolai, I just tried it and failed miserably, even with a tutorial.
[20:15] <mongolai> xTheGoat121x:  well, I'm sure you'll find something pertinant.
[20:16] <mongolai> Marupa:  what was the problem?
[20:16] <BetaTest> so mongolai any ideas?
[20:16] <Marupa> mongolai, too difficult.
[20:16] <xTheGoat121x> mongolai, I'm hoping.  It's pretty ridiculous, the difference in volume between Windows and Ubuntu
[20:16] <Decepticon> what software to use for connecting to wifi, administering wifi connections, on ubuntu?
[20:16] <Decepticon> how do i scan for wifi networks
[20:16] <T_Davis> !wireless
[20:16] <Decepticon> is there a tool that shows me available wifi networks near me
[20:16] <BetaTest> !wifi
[20:16] <zezu> anyone use putty ?  can't figure out how to paste into it :|
[20:16] <T_Davis> !madwifi
[20:17] <mongolai> BetaTest:  that's something that really should just start up on it's own. Do you have a static IP address by chance?
[20:17] <BetaTest> zezu have you tried clicking the wheel?
[20:17] <Marupa> zezu: putty auto-copies when you seleect, and paste via shift+insert.
[20:17] <lordredyen> so see u
[20:17] <kitche> Decepticon: there is a few wicd network manager or just iwconfig
[20:17] <lordredyen> i havo to go work
[20:17] <BetaTest> mongolai i think might, but is there any way of checking?
[20:17] <lordredyen> thanks for help
[20:17] <turcko> Hi, I have 2 WAN conection, 80.x.x.x and 212.x.x.x and my default gateway is 80.x.x.x but I can't connect via 212.x.x.x (If change my gw to 212.x.x.x all works fine...) any idea? thanks
[20:17] <saml> now i can receive emails   on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>  but not<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:17] <zezu> the wheel ? that little tiny icon ?  it does nothing, Marupa: Thanks
[20:18] <saml> on my MX, I have   mydomain.com => mail.mydomain.com     and mail.mydomain.com => mail.mydomain.com
[20:18] <BetaTest> zezu i mean on the mouse, it's called mouse 3
[20:18] <BetaTest> the one you use to scroll with
[20:18] <Decepticon> i have lan and wlan both connected, how do i tell ubuntu to use the wlan for now without disconnecting the lan (im econnected to the ubuntu machine via vnc on the lan)
[20:18] <pinkopallo> salve a tutti
[20:18] <mongolai> BetaTest:  that's something you'd need to ask either your ISP or perhaps one of the windows Vista people how to determine. I'm sorry, but I can't really help you there
[20:18] <zezu> BetaTest, yes, it just goes to next line
[20:18] <Marupa> mongolai, got any other suggestions?
[20:18] <BetaTest> all right thanks
[20:18] <zezu> shift-insert doesn't work either, weird
[20:19] <nmh-j2graw> saml: what mta are you using? what happens when you try to send to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[20:19] <Marupa> zezu: maybe control+insert.  I can't remember.
[20:19] <favro> !win32codecs | Dan_swede
[20:19] <Marupa> zezu: You can also right click and choose paste.
[20:20] <inik> zezu:you can  paste with left button click
[20:20] <mongolai> Marupa:  I think i lost a message there somewhere :) Really, it's *reallly* difficult to get past the initial learning curve of blender, but it does make sense. I have no other ideas besides finding a better Blender tutorial
[20:20] <Marupa> mongolai, I got stuck on extruding >.<
[20:20] <pinkopallo> !list
[20:20] <inik> zezu: uf you ask about putty ssh client
[20:20] <pinkopallo> ! list
[20:20] <zezu> o.O
[20:21] <pinkopallo> ! list
[20:21] <IWannaBeTheGuy> Hello, How do i fix "/usr/sh: gmake: not fount" problem? =(
[20:21] <Marupa> IWannaBeTheGuy, install gmake
[20:21] <zezu> Marupa, ctrl+insert and shift+insert dont work, and right click and choose paste = no menu on right click
[20:22] <IWannaBeTheGuy> Marupa, No such thing
[20:22] <zezu> inik, left click sure doesn't do it, just focuses and removes selection lines from console
[20:22] <xtian_> mongolai, shell: you still there?
[20:22] <csilk> After installing virtualbox-ose-modules-generic  kernel: 2.6.24-21  I lose wifi and grfx driver, anyone know if this is a known issue, purge of the module didn't fix the problem
[20:22] <Marupa> IWannaBeTheGuy, then you'll have to find a binary of gmake, or something.
[20:22] <turcko> Hi, I have 2 WAN conection, 80.x.x.x and 212.x.x.x and my default gateway is 80.x.x.x but I can't connect via 212.x.x.x (If change my gw to 212.x.x.x all works fine...) any idea? thanks
[20:22] <Marupa> zezu: This is PuTTY, the SSH program?
[20:22] <mongolai> xtian_:  yea, any luck. Got lost in the flood of text :/
[20:22] <saml> nmh-j2graw, i'm using postfix. I get this on /var/log/syslog     postfix/smtpd[5992]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from punt10.authsmtp.com[<IP_ADDRESS>]: 454 4.7.1<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Relay access denied<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>proto=ESMTP helo=<punt10.authsmtp.com>
[20:22] <IWannaBeTheGuy> Marupa, Okey
[20:22] <inik> zezu - putty - windows ssh client?
[20:22] <zezu> Marupa, yes
[20:23] <zezu> inik, in windows it does work that way, talking about in ubuntu thought
[20:23] <Marupa> zezu: I just tried it on my windows comp. It works.  Must be your end.
[20:23] <nmh-j2graw> saml: what do you have set for mydestination
[20:23] <IWannaBeTheGuy> Marupa, lol thought ubuntu would have it at least
[20:23] <xtian_> mongolai: well it looks like slart is gone. I uninstalled everything nvidia using apt-get remove  --purge nvidia*
[20:23] <cyban> arf, still cant get my WiFi card working even with NDIS wrapper
[20:23] <zezu> Marupa, on windows it does work that way ;p
[20:23] <xtian_> now what should i do?
[20:23] <Marupa> zezu: don't use putty in linux.
[20:23] <csilk> After installing virtualbox-ose-modules-generic  kernel: 2.6.24-21  I lose wifi and grfx driver, anyone know if this is a known issue, purge of the module didn't fix the problem
[20:23] <inik> zezu: why you use putty in ubuntu?
[20:23] <zezu> why not?  I'm familiar with it and it seems to work just as well
[20:23] <xtian_> i think the restricted driver was being used before (the one in "hardware drivers" when the system actually worked, but its not there anymore
[20:23] <Marupa> zezu: use ssh from console.
[20:23] <saml> nmh-j2graw, mydomain.com, mail.mydomain.com, localdomain, localhost, localhost.localdomain
[20:23] <nmh-j2graw> saml: and I am sure you are looking at: http://www.postfix.org/basic.html#mydestination
[20:23] <zezu> minicom sucks ass
[20:23] <xtian_> mongolai: i think the restricted driver was being used before (the one in "hardware drivers" when the system actually worked, but its not there anymore
[20:24] <csilk> zezu,  the terminal has ssh built into it
[20:24] <saml> nmh-j2graw, oh thank you
[20:24] <zezu> Marupa && csilk: I'm using this for serial i should specify
[20:24] <nmh-j2graw> saml: sarcasticly, or for real?
[20:24] <mongolai> xtian_:  well, lets first work on getting you back to square one -- with working resolution. That sound OK to you?
[20:24] <zezu> serial input from rs232->USB adapter from console of another machine
[20:24] <saml> nmh-j2graw, for real. i saw that page, but did not read it carefully
[20:24] <zezu> so its not SSH
[20:25] <camila> hi
[20:25] <dreamor> Heya
[20:25] <nmh-j2graw> saml: I am glad you were able to figure it out - I was almost out of easy suggestions
[20:25] <inik> zezu: ok . i understand
[20:25] <csilk> Anyone know why virtualbox kernal module messed with my wifi and grfx?
[20:26] <shell> whats wrong with minicom ???
[20:26] <camila> eu não sei falar sua lingua
[20:26] <IWannaBeTheGuy> Marupa, There is no such thing, should just simply point it on /usr/bin/make and all is fine
[20:26] <Marupa> Anyone know of any 'easier' tutorials for blender, or something easier to use for blender?
[20:27] <mongolai> xtian_:  something just dawned on me, and it might me totally obvious, but are there backups of your xorg.conf from before your problems started?
[20:27] <nmh-j2graw> Marupa: what are you trying to do?
[20:27] <Marupa> nmh-j2graw, character modelling.
[20:27] <dreamor> What is the proper way to upgrade a system that is on an encrypted disk?  I used the 8.04 alt cd when I installed it and now I want to upgrade.
[20:28] <nmh-j2graw> Marupa: gak - not my thing, sorry.
[20:28] <xtian_> mongolai: i never backed them up
[20:28] <xtian_> mongolai: and yes, that sounds good to me
[20:28] <Marupa> Dang it >.<
[20:28] <mongolai> xtian_:  but perhaps X did itself. Is there something like xorg.conf.(some date)
[20:28] <xtian_> mongolai: let me see
[20:29] <csilk> After installing virtualbox-ose-modules-generic  kernel: 2.6.24-21  I lose wifi and grfx driver, anyone know if this is a known issue, purge of the module didn't fix the problem
[20:29] <xtian_> mongolai: xorg.conf_backup_200810241958
[20:29] <mazadillon> I am having a problem of X crashing at random and kicking me back to the login screen, running Hardy Heron
[20:29] <saml> is there a program that reads mails on Maildir interactively and let me delete?
[20:29] <dreamor> Oh I should also mention that I changed motherboards and I can't currently access the system due to hardware compatibility issues that will be resolved with the new 2.6.27 kernel
[20:29] <mongolai> xtian_:  what time is it where you live?
[20:29] <magnetron> saml→ Thunderbird
[20:30] <xtian_> mongolai: well the computer is set to 9:30pm, but its 2:30pm here
[20:30] <mongolai> xtian_:  the<PHONE_NUMBER>58 means 7:58 pm on Oct 24
[20:30] <mazadillon> I have this in my log: Oct 24 20:24:18 matt-desktop kernel: [36389.565179] agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
[20:30] <nmh-j2graw> saml: <unsure> have you looked at mutt or similar? </>
[20:30] <mongolai> xtian_:  so that's probably too new to be of any use, but that's ok
[20:30] <xtian_> mongolai: well i dont think thats soon enough
[20:30] <apadox> Hi, I have wierd problem .. i switched from xp to ubuntu and my wifi card or wired connection is not working, p.s. working on xp ... i tried removing wep passkey .. what should I do

[20:31] <xtian_> mongolai: so where should we start?
[20:31] <|Dreams|> bad work on 8.10 sound doesnt work

[20:32] <Ben> mgolisch you still there?
[20:32] <Pici> !ibex | metranodee |Dreams|
[20:32] <metranodee> I have an issue with Ubuntu 8.10 which I cannot solve :( I had to re-install now 12 times Ubuntu and I did submit a Bug Report. I was wondering if anyone here could assist me in getting back into GDM
[20:32] <xtian_> mongolai: the monitor's native is 1440x900
[20:32] <magnetron> saml→ mutt "too complicated"?? it's an easy to use command-line app for interactive mail management. you *did* ask for an interactive app.
[20:32] <saml> oh mutt is pretty simple . let me install it
[20:32] <xtian_> mongolai: trying to set the resolution in system --> preferences --> screen resolution gives me two choices - 800x600 and 640x480
[20:32] <|Dreams|> sound doesnt work to start with didnt on hardy but now the work around for it to work doesnt work on intrepid grr
[20:33] <|Dreams|> how come hda intel sound isnt support anyways
[20:33] <xtian_> mongolai: but remember i dont have any nvidia drivers installed now
[20:33] <|Dreams|> supported*
[20:33] <dmz> any ubuntu 8 server users here who also use alsa?
[20:33] <xtian_> mongolai: so im not sure actually how this thing is displaying anything, but who knows
[20:34] <mongolai> xtian_:  i sent you a /msg  did you get it?
[20:34] <xtian_> mongolai: whats the resolution i need?
[20:34] <xtian_> mongolai: 1440x900
[20:34] <mongolai> 1440x900  just a sec...

[20:39] <neztiti> guys how i can remove americas-army game
[20:40] <Flannel> neztiti: How did you install it?
[20:40] <neztiti> Flannel: from ultamatix
[20:41] <Flannel> neztiti: oh.  First off, don't *ever* use ultamatix.  Seeing that you already have...... well, lets see what we can salvage.
[20:41] <Pici> !ultamatix
[20:41] <LF|Irssi_> pico with that grep command i keep getting grep: /media/disk/dev/md10: Permission denied

[20:42] <snova> how do I change the cursor theme (under Gnome)?
[20:42] <Pici> LF|Irssi_: Don't grep inside /dev
[20:42] <LF|Irssi_> oops sorry for that flood,
[20:42] <Flannel> neztiti: Is there an americas army directory in /opt/?
[20:42] <LF|Irssi_> pico how do i exempt "/dev" from that search then?
[20:43] <LF|Irssi_> pici*
[20:43] <csilk> Whats the problem with the hardy vb kernel module ose-modules-generic, why does it break wifi?
[20:43] <neztiti> Flannel: no
[20:44] <Flannel> neztiti: how about /usr/local/?
[20:44] <Pici> LF|Irssi_: You can use --exclude-dir="/dev"
[20:44] <LF|Irssi_> ok thanks
[20:44] <LF|Irssi_> --exclude-dir="/dev"
[20:44] <LF|Irssi_> --exclude-dir="/dev"

[20:46] <mib_bx1zce> hey guys, quick questioin regarding ubuntu 8.10
[20:46] <ion-__> I am trying to run diablo 2 using wine 1.0 on hardy. I installed everything, but when I try to run the game from the command using (wine "D:\playd2.exe") it tells me 'please verify that your d2 play disc is in cdrom' and I get the error fixme:aspi:SendASPI32Command ASPI: Partially implemented SC_HA_INQUIRY for adapter 0.
[20:46] <Flannel> mib_bx1zce: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks
[20:46] <neztiti> Flannel: /usr/local/games/armyops# ./uninstall
[20:46] <Ben> mgolisch im trying to install hlds but when i try to run the bin file it says command not found
[20:46] <Flannel> ion-__: you might have more luck in #winehq
[20:46] <neztiti> Flannel: done
[20:46] <ion-__> flannel: thanks
[20:46] <chadeldridge> I am having an issue with the volume control on my laptop.  The front buttons raise and lower the volume indicator on the screen but it doesnt actually control my systems volume settings.  I can control them through the volume utility though
[20:47] <Flannel> neztiti: In the future, don't use ultamatix.  And actually,  you'll likely have to reinstall to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu because of the damage its done (your upgrade may fail), so you'll want to have backups, etc.
[20:47] <neztiti> Flannel: still the icon from games
[20:47] <Flannel> neztiti: Right, you'll need to remove that manually.
[20:48] <neztiti> Flannel: no remove here
[20:48] <Flannel> neztiti: right click the applications menu, and you can edit the menu
[20:48] <meoblast001> how do you add Applets to AWN?
[20:49] <neztiti> Flannel: done thank you man
[20:50] <xtian_> mongolai: no dice
[20:50] <neztiti> ok i will never use ultamatix :-X
[20:50] <mongolai> xtian_:  that's a major bummer :((
[20:50] <snova> how do I change the cursor theme in Gnome? I tried gcursor, but it didn't change anything, even after restarting X.
[20:51] <Decepticon> anyone know why i gotta constantly mount my slave hdd after every reboot? how can i make it so it automatically mounts on boot
[20:51] <mongolai> xtian_:  perhaps you should restate your problem so the fresh people here can give some more suggestions
[20:51] <saml> how can I recieve emails sent to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?  not<EMAIL_ADDRESS> mail.me.com runs mail server.  me.com runs load balancing server. no mail server.
[20:51] <Decepticon> is it fstab
[20:51] <Decepticon> how do i make the mount happen at boot
[20:51] <metranodee> Can anyone here kindly assist me in getting back into Gnome? After an installation of the Restricted Driver 177 on two Geforce 8500 Video Cards. I have been battling this problem for several days :(
[20:51] <neztiti> Flannel: where is the directory of ultimatix downloads or archive??
[20:52] <dulak> saml: you set an mx for me.com that points to mail.me.com and configure mail.me.com accordingly
[20:52] <Alph4d0g> My USB HDD doesn't auto mount sometimes
[20:52] <Alph4d0g> this is due to it's power saving feature I believe
[20:52] <dulak> saml: DNS has a specific record for handling mail, called MX
[20:52] <snova> Decepticon: add an entry to /etc/fstab
[20:52] <saml> dulak, do I also need to set MX for mail.me.com   10 mail.me.com ?
[20:52] <Alph4d0g> I unplug and then replug and it mounts
[20:52] <Decepticon> hokay
[20:53] <snova> Decepticon: i think everything in fstab is automatically mounted.
[20:53] <dulak> saml: yes all your sub domains should have an MX pointing to a correct mail server, though smtp will default to the full subdomain if there is no MX
[20:53] <Decepticon> gotcha
[20:53] <kdubois1> why cant i find the "paste flipped" button in the action edit mode for animation?
[20:53] <Alph4d0g> WD mybook has power saving that I think causes this.  Could be wrong however
[20:53] <dulak> saml: and don't point an MX at a CNAME, only an A
[20:53] <Flannel> neztiti: I'm not really sure.
[20:53] <chadeldridge> alph4d0g:  is it a segate free agent drive ?
[20:54] <Alph4d0g> WD MyBook
[20:54] <neztiti> Flannel: ok thank u m8
[20:54] <chadeldridge> there should be a util you can run in windows that disables its power saving
[20:54] <chadeldridge> thats the issue probably i have it as well
[20:54] <Alph4d0g> does it mount automatically if you unplug it - then plug it in again?
[20:54] <saml> dulak, maybe i should wait until DNS propagates
[20:55] <metranodee> saml: Yes DNS will take time to propagate over the internet.
[20:55] <saml> currently, I have me.com MX 10 mail.me.com
[20:55] <chadeldridge> alph4d0g:  if i wait a few seconds before replug yes .. if i do it fast then no
[20:56] <dulak> saml: in the future you can keep propogation time low on a record by setting ttl to a low number, for instance when I know I'm going to be changing thigns I will reduce ttl from 1 day to 1 hour at least a day in advance so when I do the change, it propogates faster
[20:56] <Alph4d0g> sounds similar to what my issue is.  the drive goes into sleep mode when inactive.
[20:56] <Alph4d0g> never a problem until I reboot
[20:56] <snova> gcursor isn't working. is there another way to change the cursor theme?
[20:56] <zezu> ugh .. what would cause IO errors writing to SD card ?
[20:56] <saml> dulak, oh darn it's now 14400
[20:57] <chadeldridge>  I am having an issue with the volume control on my laptop.  The front buttons raise and lower the volume indicator on the screen but it doesnt actually control my systems volume settings.  I can control them through the volume utility though
[20:57] <dulak> saml: yeah that's something to look at for future dns changes, not something you can change now

[21:01] <asus> i think that is the window
[21:01] <dulak> Tumie: it's not nautilus but it does nautilus type things

[21:01] <cdan> Hi there. Ive been using ubuntu for about 8 months now and its great and all but recently its giving me problems. This can happen several times a day: im in ubuntu 8.04 browsing the web, using an xp virtual machine or aking a voip phone call and the computer completely freezes. The mouse cursor cant be moved, the clock doesnt refreh the time, etc. and i have to manual reset the computer. Does anyone know what could cause this? Bad ram? Overheating? What should
[21:01] <cdan> I do? Thanks.. ps: I have another extremely annoying problem with ubuntu. Whenever I cllick switch users and the log in with another user, after a few minutes, the second user gets taken back to the login screen (the first user gets completely logged out when this happens) and when the second user logs back in there is an annoying noise that keeps repeating itself untill you log out. Also, many times, i think do to an error in nautilus or the screensaver,
[21:01] <cdan> lockin the screeen does not function properly, when you click on lock screen sometimes you just touch a key an it gets unlocked without typing the password. Additionally, I think due to a problem with Vmware workstation, I often cant use the shift or CTRL keys, or my shortcuts to switch desktop, or when i type something in terminal or firefox both programs close... Thanks in advance. Sorry for the long message
[21:01] <xtian_> mongolai: i hope your shorts taste good
[21:01] <LjL> call it long
[21:01] <Flannel> cdan: One problem at a time is best.
[21:01] <LjL> you know, this is not a forum...
[21:01] <xtian_> mongolai: you are awesome, booted no problem, didnt ask for anything, right back to where i was before
[21:02] <mongolai> xtian_:  that's great!! simple solutions, eh?
[21:02] <xtian_> mongolai: now perhaps you can help me with another problem, my sound is extremely faint, like i have to turn my speakers up all the way to hear the slightest sound
[21:02] <xtian_> mongolai: and i checked all my volume levels
[21:02] <thinkgnu_> any idea about which package i need to install ?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/62177/
[21:02] <Flannel> cdan: next time it freezes, try holding alt and sysrq, then slowly typing r e i s u b, and see if it restarts.
[21:03] <xtian_> mongolai: i am running a Realtek ALC889A on borad codec
[21:03] <snoop_> aa
[21:03] <mongolai> xtian_:  copy that xorg file to a backup so you have something good to fall back upon should you decide to try the nvidia drivers again. about your sound, I'
[21:03] <favro> how do I get firefox to play wmv video?
[21:03] <metranodee> Can anyone here kindly assist me in getting back into Gnome? After an installation of the Restricted Driver 177 on two Geforce 8500 Video Cards. I have been battling this problem for several days :(
[21:03] <cdan> Flannel, thanks. I dont know what the sysrq key is though. My keyboard is in Spanish...
[21:03] <Tumie> dulak: thanks, :)
[21:04] <csilk> After installing virtualbox-ose-modules-generic  kernel: 2.6.24-21  I lose wifi and grfx driver, anyone know if this is a known issue, purge of the module didn't fix the problem
[21:04] <Guest79326> .
[21:04] <mongolai> xtian_:  (sorry, hit enter...) About the sound, I can't really help you, I don't have sound enabled on my computer right now for weird reasons, but look into issues particular to your computer and also look into "pulseaudio"
[21:04] <dulak> favro: there is a plugin for firefox that will play video in firefox using mplayer, I cannot remember the name though
[21:04] <Flannel> cdan: it usually shares a key with print screen
[21:04] <snova> any reason why using Gnome would make the fan run like crazy? KDE never got it this hot!
[21:05] <favro> dulak: mplayer-plugin - it tries to load then does nothing
[21:05] <dulak> favro: you can load mplayer manually though?
[21:05] <favro> dulak: for a local file it works fine
[21:05] <dulak> favro: let me install it and look, see if I have a problem
[21:05] <dulak> favro: you're on 8.04?
[21:05] <favro> dulak: thnxs
[21:06] <favro> yep
[21:06] <dulak> favro: k, give me a minute
[21:06] <kthef> hey snova, I had a compag/hp pos that the fan kept running a lot and I opened it up and the cpu heatsink fins were full of dust bunnies...
[21:06] <kthef> cleaned it out, and now works great, no high fan anymore!
[21:06] <cdan> Flannel, yeah thanks, i just wiki´d it. I saw it shares a key with print screen though my keyboard only has that particular key labeled with print screen. will try it though
[21:07] <snova> kthef: cleaning would probably do my laptop good, but this only started happening today, so that can't be it. i'm using gnome instead of my usual kde.
[21:07] <sabdjaskj> When i used the RC and the real release come out must be upgrading ?
[21:07] <snova> kthef: so i'm pretty sure it's gnome. i shut off desktop effects to see if that would help...
[21:07] <kthef> well, a difference in cpu load could do it, my box would run the fan high whenever I started firefox...hehehe
[21:08] <Wind67> ++
[21:08] <kthef> wouldn't hurt to shoot some compressed air into the cooling fins
[21:08] <dulak> favro: what package name did you install?
[21:08] <snova> kthef: maybe gnome just takes up more resources... i'll try shutting down some extra system services.
[21:09] <kthef> I hear that gnome is pretty tough on the system, I have always run it

[21:10] <CJMaster> @quit
[21:10] <scientus> i though it was kernel level
[21:10] <snova> kthef: it's due for a cleaning anyway... i've never taken it apart. maybe that'll help.
[21:10] <Tonno> is there is some channer that people can help me to "how to use Open Office" in spanish?
[21:11] <magnetron> scientus→ there are two versions of it. one of them is kernel level
[21:11] <magnetron> !serverguide | scientus
[21:11] <kthef> run the top command while in kde, and gnome and compare the cpu load

[21:11] <juannicolas> hi, can someone tell met how to save the iwconfig in order for the machine have the information in the next reboot?
[21:11] <Decepticon> im a little confused. i know i have two 500gb hdds and a 400gb hdd, but gnome's disk usage analyzer is only showing 1281gb total... im being ripped off 119gb, how do i go into terminal and see all my hdds and verify their sizes?
[21:11] <csilk> After installing virtualbox-ose-modules-generic  kernel: 2.6.24-21  I lose wifi and grfx driver, anyone know if this is a known issue, purge of the module didn't fix the problem
[21:12] <snova> kthef: all right, i'll dissappear for a bit...
[21:12] <Flare183> Why won't my computer automount my USB drive like it is supposed to?
[21:12] <kthef> go into the terminal window and type sudo fdisk -l   that is the letter L
[21:12] <marcelo> can i install the gnu-scientific library in ubuntu via apt-get install?
[21:12] <kthef> that is for Decepticon
[21:12] <favro> csilk: there is #vbox - they might know in there
[21:12] <mongolai> Decepticon:  from a terminal try "df -h"
[21:12] <scientus> tonno, http://es.openoffice.org/
[21:13] <magnetron> Decepticon→ that's the old Gigabyte/GB trick, all HDD producers market their HDDs like that
[21:13] <scientus> nfs is just really really slow for me
[21:13] <csilk> favro, no, they were insisting it's because I'm an idiot that can't install drivers
[21:13] <favro> ohh
[21:13] <Decepticon> magnetron so im not supposed to have 1400GB
[21:13] <LjL> !info gsl-bin | marcelo

[21:13] <scientus> and im using the ekrenel server
[21:13] <magnetron> Decepticon→ exactly.
[21:13] <Flare183> Any suggestions?
[21:14] <scientus> it takes like 3-4 seconds to browse to a folder
[21:14] <Flannel> Decepticon: 1400 Gigabytes, where gigabyte is defined as 1 000 000 000 bytes.  Vs Gibibytes (GiB), where gibibyte is defined as 1024*1024*1024 bytes
[21:14] <snova> kthef: not much of a difference.
[21:14] <mongolai> magnetron:  Decepticon , the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer is somewhat notorious for giving erroneous readings..
[21:14] <kthef> odd
[21:14] <Curtis> how many updates will ubuntu 8.10 have?
[21:14] <magnetron> mongolai→ not really.
[21:14] <Decepticon> ive got 457GB+459GB+367GB=1283GB
[21:14] <kthef> maybe it is overloading your graphics processor
[21:14] <kthef> maybe a fan on the GPU?

[21:15] <Flannel> Decepticon: however, in terminal, df -h, (or just df) will give you a pretty decent readout
[21:15] <mongolai> magnetron:  yes, really. It's showing that I have 146.6 gb out of an 80 gig drive.
[21:15] <snova> kthef: i'm still hoping it isn't a problem with gnome, i think i like it more than kde.
[21:15] <kthef> what ver ubuntu?
[21:15] <magnetron> Decepticon→ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Capacity_measurements
[21:15] <Decepticon> yo guys i just wanna say i think im liking ubuntu, so glad most of my things work out of the box (except a minor problem with my geforce fx 5200), even my wifi is working, and im going to install mythtv now and see if my pvr150 works alright too
[21:15] <snova> 8.04, fully updated
[21:16] <w0ls0n> anyone here running ununtu 7.04 with a GeForce 6200? I cannot seem to get the graphics to go above 800x600. Can someone give me a hand?
[21:16] <Decepticon> i was having a really hard time getting my geforce fx 5200 to work, so i just installed envyng-core with apt-get and let it do whatever... and my stuff now works
[21:17] <snova> still at 156.2 F, 69 C
[21:17] <kthef> I have been running 8.04 for a while, no issues, running on lots of machines as a matter of fact, even a TP61 laptop right now...hehehe
[21:17] <gregory> Hi there
[21:17] <gregory> Sorry to jump in like that, but I really need help
[21:17] <joshritger> does anyone know if there is something wrong with the repos?
[21:17] <xomp> !ask | gregory
[21:17] <guntbert> !ask | gregory
[21:18] <snova> joshritger: what in particular?
[21:18] <dulak> favro: that is working perfectly for me, it goes to a buffering page, then plays the video in-line in firefox
[21:18] <gregory> Thank you
[21:18] <joshritger> nothing seems to be working for me, I have hardy and nothing will load from the repos
[21:18] <favro> dulak: I was worried it was a local issue...
[21:18] <snova> kthef: i'm just going to turn it off for now, maybe try to clean it later.
[21:19] <snova> joshritger: perhaps a bug in sources.list?
[21:19] <dulak> favro: do you see the buffering page?
[21:19] <joshritger> haven't touched the sources list lately
[21:19] <kthef> You might look here:   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=860830
[21:19] <dulak> favro: this is the url I used to test: http://media.grc.com/files/ss_06_17_98.wmv
[21:19] <favro> dulak: nope - it seems to try then gives up after 1sec
[21:19] <Stormx2> josh__, what do you mean "not working?" could you do a "sudo apt-get update" and post the output?
[21:20] <mongolai> magnetron:  I stand corrected. The issue that *I*'m having with the gnome-disk-usage-analyzer is with redundant additive readings between physical drives and gvfs-fuse. At least I have a more specific bug-report to file. Or not. but thanks for correcting me anyway :)
[21:20] <gregory> So, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04. And I'm a real noob at it, it's my first time. I tried to install my graphic card's drivers from nvidia.com, bue it didn't work. And now that I have "activated" the drivers integrated in Ubuntu, my second screen appears to be the first, and my first screen doesn not receive graphic information.
[21:20] <dulak> favro: you reloaded firefox after you installed the plugin right?
[21:20] <joshritger> stormx2: when I would go to install an app using synaptic it would get to the downloading part and then give me an error saying that the download was not found
[21:20] <favro> dulak: yep - been trying for a few days
[21:20] <magnetron> mongolai→ i didn't know about that bug. have a good night.
[21:20] <Stormx2> josh__, even so, could you do as I asked?
[21:21] <smoovep> Question: Sendmail is trying to send to <IP_ADDRESS> and messages stay in /var/mail .. is there anyways change this? thnx
[21:21] <joshritger> stormx2: sure
[21:21] <mongolai> magnetron:  perhaps because it's a feature
[21:21] <favro> dulak: have installed anything and everything that could be relevant
[21:21] <favro> I think
[21:21] <Tonno> is there is some channer that people can help me to "how to use Open Office" in spanish?
[21:21] <kthef> Gregory, download and install evny  http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[21:21] <kthef> envy
[21:21] <kthef> hehe
[21:21] <dulak> favro: do this: dpkg -l | grep codec and pastebin it for me
[21:22] <kthef> sudo apt-get install envy
[21:22] <xomp> ibex in 6 days \o/
[21:22]  * xomp goes back to sleep
[21:22] <joshritger> stormx2: E: Method gave invalid 400 URI Failure message
[21:22] <kthef> that is what I have used to install/configure nvidia drivers
[21:22] <Stormx2> joshritger: Could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[21:22] <gregory> kthef: ok, i'm going to do that. Thank you
[21:23] <kthef> after its installed here is the app to set it:    sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[21:23] <joshritger> stormx2: will do
[21:23] <kthef> then you can do a sudo nvidia-settings to setup the display
[21:23] <kthef> install envy first
[21:23] <Stormx2> xomp, o/
[21:23] <favro> dulak: http://pastebin.ca/1235933
[21:24] <dulak> favro: hmmm, I dont' even have the w32codecs installed and it's working
[21:24] <favro> dulak: I'm giving up for now - thnxs  :)
[21:25] <dulak> favro: sorry I couldn't duplicate it
[21:25] <joshritger> stormx2:http://paste.ubuntu.com/62186/
[21:25] <gregory> kthef: ok I installed envy, and it tells me to launch it, and there's a script that asks me for installing things or restarting X server, and stuff
[21:25] <kthef> yep, that is fine
[21:26] <kthef> it goes out and does all the dl and installing
[21:26] <gregory> oh
[21:26] <gregory> ok wait
[21:26] <Stormx2> joshritger: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list. Replace "us." with "" (i.e. nothing). Save. sudo apt-get update
[21:27] <gregory> wow, it detected my exact graphic card version and all
[21:27] <joshritger> stormx2: use the main repos not the us?
[21:27] <kthef> gregory: You might have to reboot or do at least a ctrl+alt+<backspace> to reset
[21:27] <dulak> envy is one of those things that either works perfectly, or it doesn't work at all
[21:27] <mongolai> Stormx2:  is not gksudo suggested for GUI apps instead of regular sudo?
[21:27] <gregory> tells me: Do you want to restart your computer now (Recommended)? (y/n) \ "y" is the default answer
[21:27] <Stormx2> mongolai: yeah, or gksu, but it doesn't seem to matter with gedit
[21:27] <kthef> gregory: yes
[21:28] <gregory> thanks so much, brb
[21:28] <kthef> gregory: np
[21:28] <mongolai> Stormx2:  ahh. OK. perhaps it's more of a pedantic "best practices" kind of deal
[21:29] <xomp> mongolai, I find it rather shallow and pedantic.. mmmyes, shallow and pedantic :)
[21:29] <Stormx2> mongolai: maybe. I don't know
[21:30] <joshritger> stormx2: I get the same error after removing the US
[21:30] <mongolai> xomp:  (Offtopic once) that has to be the Simpsons -- the episode where Homer is a food critic
[21:30] <Stormx2> joshritger: Open up http://us.archive.ubuntu.com in your web browser. Does it work?
[21:30] <xomp> mongolai, close :P It was Family Guy :)
[21:31]  * mongolai has my bad...
[21:31] <joshritger> stormx2: yes
[21:31] <gregory> kthef: it didn't work, i guess
[21:31] <Stormx2> joshritger: For the heck of it, use a different mirror. use ca. or uk. or something
[21:32] <Decepticon> what is the package for vim
[21:32] <joshritger> stormx2: both ways with or without the us works in the browser
[21:32] <Stormx2> joshritger: What about downloading a package from inside the browser?
[21:32] <joshritger> hmm, will try
[21:32] <gregory> I'd like to change my display to my other screen. Does it have anything to do with my CG drivers?
[21:32] <j0nr> hey all
[21:32] <Decepticon> what is the package for vim
[21:32] <j0nr> anyone use gtkpod?
[21:33] <DIFH-iceroot> Decepticon: vim
[21:33] <ay^> j0nr: I have used it a few times
[21:33] <kthef> gregory: run the sudo nvidia-settings program
[21:33] <kthef> they call it something weird
[21:33] <j0nr> ay^: can you tell me what the check boxes next to the tracks mean?
[21:33] <ay^> j0nr: nope :)
[21:33] <TJ-42> in windows there was a performance benefit of putting on separate hard drives: the operating system, the paging file, and the applications.  Is that true in ubuntu?
[21:33] <gregory> Alright!
[21:33] <Varth> I'm running 8.10 beta, and my wifi died after the newest update. Can anyone help me out?
[21:34] <joshritger> stormx2: not sure what to try to download, if you can give me a link I will try it
[21:34] <j0nr> ay^: doh. cant figure out what they mean
[21:34] <mongolai> TJ-42:  unless you have a lack of RAM, no, not really per se...
[21:34] <ay^> j0nr: isn't there any help or something? I only used it to uppload songs on my wifes sisters ipod 3 times.
[21:35] <TJ-42> so the swap file in ubuntu isn't utilized all of the time like the windows page file (this seemed to be used even when not out of ram)?
[21:35] <gregory> Thank you so very much. It worked!
[21:35] <Stormx2> joshritger: Any package. You don't have to install it.
[21:35] <joshritger> ok
[21:35] <kthef> gregory: cool!
[21:35] <mongolai> TJ-42:  there is some anecdotal evidence that having the swap partition on certain parts on the HDD, or even oh the outer edge of a second HDD can improve performance, but that has been antiquated by the prevalence of cheap RAM
[21:36] <gregory> kthef: is there any kinf of a list of these command lines for me to remember it? Or do I just have to write them down?
[21:36] <TJ-42> mongolai: OK thank you.
[21:36] <xomp> anyone know of any software for people looking to make guitar tabs of songs? a program that can identify notes and display them for easy tablature?
[21:36] <mongolai> TJ-42:  yea, it's easier to get more RAM (to a point) and just use that
[21:36] <kthef> you can go to a terminal window and type sudo nvid  and then a couple of tab key hits and it will list all commands starting with nvid
[21:37] <kthef> gregory: otherwise, just commit to memory...hehehe
[21:37] <gregory> Ok. Thank you again.
[21:37] <kthef> np
[21:37] <julian> anoyone have experience opening .arc files
[21:37] <Varth> I'm running 8.10 beta, and my wifi died after the newest update. Can anyone help me out?
[21:38] <DIFH-iceroot> Varth: #ubuntu+1
[21:38] <zume> Ahhh, Konversation is so much easier than Xchat
[21:39] <Sonja> yeah i like konversation too
[21:39] <jhekasoft> Hello
[21:39] <forestpixie> hi jhekasoft
[21:39] <Sonja> my /boot directory only has 4 MB free. it's causing problems with updates. how do i clean up some space in there?
[21:40] <Sonja> the friend who installed ubuntu on my machine created a separate partition for /boot but it's too small i think
[21:40] <jhekasoft> I'm student.
[21:40] <Sonja> can i make the partition bigger without risking any bad stuff happening?
[21:40] <Flannel> Sonja: Remove old kernels through package management
[21:40] <Flannel> Sonja: first off, how big it in total? (du -h)
[21:40] <Sonja> i think it's 100 MB
[21:41] <shipwrecked> hi, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a question?
[21:41] <mbassan> hey, can anybody tell me how to switch keyboard layouts
[21:41] <Sonja> how do i open package management in terminal?
[21:41] <mongolai> shipwrecked:  just ask the question?
[21:41] <jhekasoft> \list
[21:41] <ay^> Sonja: sudo aptitude
[21:41] <Flannel> Sonja: aptitude will be an ncurses GUI thing, or you can use apt-get
[21:41] <scientus> how do i make nfs faster?
[21:42] <c0mp13371331337> Sonja: You'll need to use a live-CD to do that.  Resizing a partition cannot be performed if the partition is mounted.
[21:42] <quibbler> julian:Archive Manager
[21:42] <Sonja> sudo aptitude
[21:42] <Sonja> oops
[21:42] <Flannel> Sonja: the kernel packages are linux-image-*
[21:42] <scientus> even file listing, async wont help that
[21:42] <shipwrecked> I wanted to try to switch to ubuntu but I use Sprint Wireless Broadband for internet and can't find anything on if the usb evdo card or even the broadband service is supported
[21:42] <Flannel> Sonja: you want to keep your most recent one, and probably one older known-good one.
[21:43] <Sonja> once i open sudo aptitude how do i remove all older ones? where do i navigate under?
[21:43] <apadox> can someone help me with connecting my wireless card with my router?
[21:43] <mbassan> apadox: what's the problem with the card?
[21:44] <apadox> it is intel 2200BG ... can't connect to router .. and neither my cable works .. i tried this for more info http://pastebin.com/m7efc6312
[21:44] <Decepticon> i installed samba, and edited smb.conf and restartated samba, when i try to access the shares from another compouter im asked for a username/pass, and i entered the password for my username on the share hosting computer.... but no access? how do i do it, i think you use some program to set passwords on the host computer, what is it called?
[21:44] <mbassan> does it detect networks?
[21:44] <Rideh_> how can i mount a usb hd from cli?
[21:44] <Flannel> shipwrecked: Ubuntu 8.10 is being released next week, and it provides support for those cards.  In the meantime, you might ask in #ubuntu+1 if that particular card is supported, etc.
[21:44] <Decepticon> anyonme have any idea what you're supposed to do with samba to get it working initially
[21:44] <kthef> apadox: start by turning off encryption on your router, that makes troubleshooting a lot easier...when you get it connected without WEP, then go for the wep.
[21:44] <Flannel> login as:
[21:44] <Flannel> !samba | Decepticon
[21:45] <kthef> Decepticon:  configure /etc/samba/smb.conf
[21:45] <ay^> Rideh_: sudo mount /dev/NAME /path/to/mountpoint
[21:45] <joshritger> stormx2: I tried downloading something and it appears that there is nothign to download, I also restarted and then ran the sudo apt-get update and same error
[21:45] <apadox> kthef i tried .. then it connects but I still can't ping my router .. in connection info i get all blank
[21:45] <Rideh_> ay^: kk couldnt find the device in dev
[21:45] <shipwrecked> Flannel: thanks a lot
[21:45] <Sonja> ay^ in sudo aptitude, do i haev to go under "installed packages" and then under something else? or ?
[21:45] <kthef> apadox: it is connecting to your router?
[21:46] <ay^> Sonja: You can search for th epackage you want to see by typing "/"
[21:46] <kthef> apadox: go to term window and type ifconfig and see if the wlan interface has an IP address
[21:46] <apadox> kthef it doens't
[21:46] <shoryuken> rk
[21:46] <apadox> i checked in GUI
[21:46] <arpegius> join #drupal
[21:46] <kthef> apadox:  forget gui
[21:46]  * arpegius fails join
[21:46] <kthef> do it in term window
[21:46] <zume> Can someone help me with Kmouth. The KTTSD (i guess thats the kmouth manager) keeps crashing, and before I couldn't ever get it to speak text.
[21:46] <kthef> apadox:
[21:47] <Flannel> zume: You might have more luck in #kubuntu
[21:47] <prof_1> Hello I'm have a problem with getting my floppy to read aand write . I sure need someone who can help to do this.
[21:47] <zume> Flannel, thank you. I'm running Ubuntu, but I'll give that room a shot.
[21:47] <Stormx2> joshritger, did you try using a canadian mirror?
[21:47] <Odd-rationale> Rideh_: you can find the device name by doing "sudo fdisk -l" (lowercase L)
[21:47] <kthef> apadox: after it is connected, you can try:  sudo dhclient wlan0
[21:47] <apadox> ok
[21:47] <joshritger> stormx2: yes I have tried a canadian mirror
[21:47] <kthef> apadox: to see if it will do a dhcp get
[21:48] <prof_1> I've follow some on line stuff but nothing seems to be working for me?
[21:48] <Rideh_> Odd-rationale: ty, been a minute
[21:48] <Stormx2> joshritger: I'm out of ideas :/
[21:48] <Flannel> zume: They'll be more familiar with the KDE stuffs, regardless of your main flavor
[21:48] <joshritger> stormx2: ok, I hope this is just an outage and not my comp, never had this problem b4
[21:48] <apadox> kthef i go restart
[21:48] <apadox> so brb
[21:48] <kthef> apadox: ok
[21:48] <zume> Flannel, any other Ubuntu related rooms out there?
[21:48] <Odd-rationale> Rideh_: it should tell you hwere in /dev/ your usb drive is located. usually, it is /dev/sdb1 though...
[21:48] <Rideh_> yea i found it
[21:49] <Stormx2> joshritger: I guess it's an outage. Might be worth reseting your router? I don't know
[21:49] <Rideh_> Odd-rationale: whats the mount option for ntfs?
[21:49] <Rideh_>  sudo mount ntfs /device /point ?
[21:49] <Stormx2> !ntfs | Rideh_
[21:49] <Flannel> zume: there's a whooole bunch.  But #ubuntu, #kubuntu, and #xubuntu are the main support ones.
[21:49] <tesseract85> hey room
[21:49] <Stormx2> hi tesseract85
[21:50] <Odd-rationale> Rideh_: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt should do it...
[21:50] <Rideh_> Odd-rationale: its ntfs formated
[21:50] <Rideh_> and doesnt have an entry in fstab
[21:51] <prof_1> Is there a wayt to get the floppy to work ? I used df /mnt/floppy but it caomes back with sda1 not fdo?
[21:51] <kansan> if i blew away the .meatdata directory in a workspace in eclipse ganymede; why is it still complaining that the workspace in use?
[21:51] <julian> tried archivemanager but it wont open it
[21:52] <prof_1> Can someone help me with fixing my floppy it is not working!!!
[21:52] <julian> archive not supported
[21:52] <Odd-rationale> Rideh_: try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[21:52] <prof_1> or give me a good resource to follow?
[21:52] <zume> Anyone know of a Google IRC room, hopefully for Ubuntu/Gnome?
[21:53] <SPhcT> can i install Java on ubuntu when it going on live cd?
[21:53] <Odd-rationale> Rideh_: the problem with mounting as root, is that you can only write to the drive as root...
[21:53] <prof_1> Does anyone know one? :)
[21:53] <quibbler> julian: try arc in Synaptic

[21:54] <apaodx> kthef I am in windows now
[21:54] <apaodx> i have to reboot to do it
[21:54] <kthef> apadox: ok
[21:54] <kthef> apadox: after it is connected, you can try:  sudo dhclient wlan0
[21:54] <apaodx> it connects if there is no encription in roaming mode
[21:55] <kthef> apadox: you need to find out what YOUR interface is called
[21:55] <SPhcT> can i install Java on ubuntu when it going on live cd?
[21:55] <kthef> apadox: go to term window and type ifconfig and see if the wlan interface has an IP address
[21:55] <apaodx> brb
[21:55] <kthef> apadox: it might be called wlanX  the X being a number

[21:56] <apaodx> i know i have two eth
[21:56] <dougb1> do any of you have an opinion of the best e-mail client for ubuntu?  i'm running 8.10 at the moment
[21:56] <joshritger> stormx2: seems to be working now, I disabled any third party source and it seems to work
[21:56] <impulze_> hm is it the fault of the dhcpd or dhclient that the ntp-servers are in IP form instead of the dhcpd.conf specified hostname?
[21:57] <kthef> apadox: it might be
[21:57] <quibbler> julian did you look for arc in Synaptic?
[21:57] <bid5> dougb1: I'm using Thunderbird, cause i know it from windows...
[21:57] <apaodx> ok .. see you brb restart
[21:57] <kthef> apadox: or you should have 2 interfaces
[21:57] <kthef> apadox: eth0 and eth1
[21:57] <thethirdmoose> When I go to school, I leave Ubuntu logged in with the screen locked. When I leave, I'm logged out. Why?

[21:58] <Rideh_> Odd-rationale: got it, i had to force it cuz it wasnt cleanly unmounted
[21:58] <thethirdmoose> csilk: That's an interesting suggestion
[21:58] <Odd-rationale> Rideh_: yeah, that happens sometimes...
[21:59] <StucKman> hi all. anyone running feisty that has virtualbox installed from official .debs?
[21:59] <csilk> thethirdmoose, I'm not joking, i wouldnt be surprised if she hits the power button once and your machine re-boots
[21:59] <SPhcT> can i install JAVA using Ubuntu live cd?? and how can i do it?
[21:59] <csilk> SPhcT, add/remove programs, look for search for java

[21:59] <SPhcT> cant find
[22:00] <csilk> SPhcT,   ok  terminal> sudo apt-get update
[22:00] <csilk> then
[22:00] <csilk> sudo apt-get sun-java6
[22:00] <csilk> ** sudo apt-get install sun-java6
[22:00] <mongolai> zume:  no real luck on the TTS front, then eh? Perhaps KMouth is asking for a "kommand" for the screen reader?
[22:00] <xah_lee> is ubuntu avail for Apple's g5 machine?
[22:01] <mongolai> xah_lee:  if there is a PPC
[22:01] <thepeon> What command can I run to find out the make/model of my nic?
[22:01] <zume> mongolai: yea im reading through google to find out what it means.
[22:01] <xah_lee> monyes it's PPC.
[22:01] <kthef> thepeon:  sudo lshw
[22:01] <kthef> will show all hardware
[22:02] <kthef> thepeon:  make sure your terminal window is set to about 1000 lines of buffer space
[22:02] <thepeon> kthef: Thanks
[22:03] <kiopes> or send the output to a file ;) use the "> filename" for that...
[22:03] <Rideh_> Odd-rationale: is there a easy command to determine the rate that something is copying files?
[22:03] <Odd-rationale> Rideh_: well, you could ues cp with the -v switch...
[22:03] <mongolai> thepeon:  also, lspci | grep Ethernet
[22:03] <Odd-rationale> it will tell you what files are copying.
[22:03] <Rideh_> Odd-rationale: :P i could have
[22:03] <kthef> thepeon: sudo lshw | grep network -A10
[22:04] <Decepticon> how do i get thumbnails on my movies. im seeing generic icons instead of preview thumbnails
[22:04] <mongolai> Decepticon:  there is probably a setting limiting thumbs to smaller files...
[22:04] <Decepticon> ive set it to 1gb
[22:04] <Decepticon> and always
[22:04] <mongolai> Decepticon:  ... just a sec
[22:04] <Decepticon> always preview
[22:04] <Decepticon> but its not working
[22:04] <poorboy-> has any got component video out using the xorg-intel drivers ?
[22:04] <FloodBot2> Decepticon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:05] <poorboy-> where can I find documentation on the xorg-intel drivers for xorg.conf settings
[22:05] <thepeon> Thanks guys, If my NIC is listed with a driver, I should work, correct?
[22:05] <kiopes> What are you using for the file manager? - Most by default will show thumbnails, also you need the codecs of course
[22:05] <mongolai> kiopes:  Decepticon  that's correct..
[22:05] <Decepticon> ohhh yes
[22:05] <Decepticon> i probably need codecs
[22:06] <Decepticon> but still, i have a lotta movies, they all cant require codecs
[22:06] <Decepticon> im using nautilus
[22:06] <teratoma> http://slate.com/id/2202664/
[22:06] <kthef> thepeon: I would think so, but I am not a driver xpert...
[22:06] <kthef> hehe
[22:06] <mongolai> Decepticon:  there is a file size limit by default, i think. You probably need to re-size that
[22:06] <Decepticon> i reset that file size limit to 1GB
[22:06] <Decepticon> my files are 1GB or less
[22:07] <mongolai> Decepticon:  ...in addition to the codecs that kiopes suggested. Even with 1gb or less files, gnome might need some hand-holding
[22:07] <kthefx> kthef: asdf
[22:08] <Decepticon> mongolai take a look at http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9379/screenshot005yj2.png
[22:08] <Decepticon> i got these generic looking icons
[22:08] <mongolai> Decepticon:  just a sec
[22:08] <Decepticon> and look at my settings
[22:09] <Decepticon> ok ill just try something with codecs
[22:09] <mongolai> Decepticon:  looks good. Nice weather, thoug. Probably a codes thing
[22:09] <Decepticon> ahah
[22:09] <axold> hi all
[22:09] <Decepticon> thanks mongolai
[22:09] <quibbler> axold:hello
[22:10] <mongolai> Decepticon:  those are all local files on your hdd, right?
[22:10] <Decepticon> those are on other hdds... so i guess theyre not external
[22:10] <Decepticon> even then, ive set it to always show
[22:10] <Decepticon> *internal
[22:11] <Decepticon> mongolai ok i got some previews...
[22:11] <Decepticon> guess it had to do with codecs...
[22:11] <Decepticon> but now i have another problem
[22:11] <mrrcp> question.... How do i format a 2nd hard drive i have installed? it will not let me access some files
[22:12] <mongolai> Decepticon: what's the problem
[22:12] <thethirdmoose> How do I check recent logoff times?
[22:12] <ferfactor> anybody here has STATA program for Linux???
[22:12] <kthef> mrrcp: don't format, just do a chown or chmod on them
[22:12] <Decepticon> the movies with generic icons, have those generic icons stuck now, and i cannot refresh them to get a thumbnail... unlike other dirs i havent dove into and looked at videos in nautlius at, they generate previews and do not give generic icons... i want to get rid of the geneeric for the files ive looked
[22:12] <mrrcp> well it was a partion i hard on another linux
[22:13] <kthef> mrrcp:   so you don't care about the data?
[22:13] <mrrcp> debian setup that is...
[22:13] <mrrcp> nope
[22:13] <Azzmodan> Decepticon, maybe they use a different codec that you don't have installed for gstreamer?
[22:13] <mongolai> Decepticon:  Did you give the browser window a chance to generate the thumb?
[22:13] <mrrcp> i just used the quick setup for ubuntu and it did not format that hard drive
[22:13] <kthef> mrrcp:  ok,  sudo mkfs   /dev/harddrive_partition
[22:13] <Decepticon> maybe i have to reset nautilus?
[22:13] <thethirdmoose> How do I check the last time I logged out?
[22:13] <kthef> mrrcp:  so if the drive/partition is hda1  I would do sudo mkfs /dev/hda1
[22:14] <alexi5> what benefits would a quad core cpu provide for a developer (web,network apps,database apps,etc ...)
[22:14] <verdant> alexi5: quad core has major benefits
[22:15] <mrrcp> hmm
[22:15] <Azzmodan> Depends on how much shit you tend to run at the same time that likes to use CPU
[22:15] <mrrcp> how can i tell what the names are
[22:15] <verdant> alexi5: i can run the requires windoze xp + vs 2008 + outlook under vmware off a nother partition
[22:15] <luite_> alexi5: better testing of how good your apps scale... (and probably some compilation speedups, but those won't matter much unless you develop huge projects)
[22:15] <kthef> mrrcp:  sudo fdisk -l   that is a lower case L for list
[22:15] <verdant> alexi5: with no slowdown, plus as many apps and windows as I please
[22:15] <kthef> mrrcp:  then try and decode which one is the right size
[22:16] <alexi5> ok
[22:16] <rycar> how do I get that smallest possible ubuntu install for a virtual machine?  I pretty much want a clean slate that I can use apt to expand from.
[22:16] <kthef> mrrcp:  you will have to sudo umount /dev/hda1 first
[22:16] <mrrcp> hmm it didnt let me set a root user passwd at setup
[22:16] <thethirdmoose> Is there a way to check the last logout time>
[22:16] <thethirdmoose> ?
[22:16] <mongolai> rycar:  look into ubuntu Jeos
[22:16] <alexi5> so if i use virtual machines to test apps at once in multiple virtual environments quad core is excellent for that ?
[22:16] <verdant> rycar: ubuntu jeos http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos
[22:16] <kthef> mrrcp:  you in a live cd?
[22:16]  * snoop_ a
[22:17] <mrrcp> i used the cd off the site
[22:17] <kthef> mrrcp:  ah, so your prompt starts with a #?
[22:17] <verdant> alexi5: yes quad core is good for multiple vms, but you start to run into i/o bandwidth unless you have a SCSI disk
[22:17] <rycar> thanks
[22:17] <alexi5> ok
[22:18] <hosed> Hi, question. My laptop freezes at the bios splash screen, I have a dell and it just wont allow me to go to a boot menu or to bios setup or anything, its just frozen there. any ideas whats wrong?
[22:18] <kthef> mrrcp:  did you install from the CD? or are you running a live CD?
[22:18] <prof_1> Hello is there someone who can help me with a floppy that just wont work?
[22:18] <verdant> alexi5: if you are testing enterprise-scale apps, you'll also want 8G RAM... I'm finding that 4G doesn't quite handle major search engines and IBM stuff
[22:18] <mrrcp> im using gnome now logged in
[22:18] <Decepticon> mongolai i got it
[22:18] <Decepticon> mongolai i deleted ~/.thumbnails/ and now im getting fresh previews
[22:19] <mongolai> hosed:  if it's at the BIOS screen, then you need to take it up with the manufacturer
[22:19] <kthef> mrrcp:  yes, but is it from a live cd that you booted from? or is it an install?
[22:19] <mrrcp> su -  and my password doesnt work
[22:19] <mrrcp> install
[22:19] <Sonja> i went in /boot and deleted a bunch of stuff i maybe wasn't supposed to, and now i can't boot into ubuntu anymore. is there any way to fix it from my windows drive?
[22:19] <kthef> mrrcp:  try no password
[22:19] <pepperjack> hosed: id look at flashing the bios maybe ask in #hardware
[22:19] <zume> Anyone know how to make sense of this Festivle TextToSpeech program? Here it is http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/download.html    but its lots of little files that I dont know what to do with.
[22:19] <mrrcp> no worky
[22:19] <verdant> Sonja: try the livecd
[22:19] <mongolai> Decepticon:  cool beans. Do the previews work?
[22:19] <pepperjack> hosed: could be memory etc too
[22:19] <mrrcp> fdisk -l  doesnt show anything
[22:19] <Decepticon> oh by previews i meant, thumbnails
[22:19] <kthef> mrrcp:  it won't unless you are sudo
[22:19] <thethirdmoose> How do I check recent logouts on my computer?
[22:19] <Decepticon> you can do little preview windows with gnome??
[22:20] <kthef> mrrcp:  you should use the same password you use to login to your desktop
[22:20] <alexi5> verdant: so far i have 4GB. are the phenoms that bad as the different site reviews say they are ?
[22:20] <pepperjack> thethirdmoose: `last`
[22:20] <mongolai> Decepticon:  Ahh, but do the previews work? Hover the mouse over the thumb for a little while
[22:20] <zume> mongolai: any tips on getting festivle to work?
[22:20] <kthef> mrrcp:  so if I log into my computer as joe with password asdf, then you do a sudo fdisk -l  then use asdf for the su password
[22:20] <IceGuest_75> Anyone want to help someone new to Linux on how to get it to work in a parrallel?
[22:20] <thethirdmoose> pepperjack: So the second time is the logout?
[22:20] <verdant> alexi5: don't know about the phenoms, but the Intel Xeon's are pretty hardcore
[22:20] <mongolai> zume:  I never did get that to work... sorry :(
[22:20] <Decepticon> mongolai i dont think i have that gnome feature
[22:21] <Sonja> verdant is there a function in livecd to repair the /boot drive ?
[22:21] <alexi5> ok
[22:21] <pepperjack> thethirdmoose: should be both in and out yeah
[22:21] <verdant> Sonja: it may let you reinstall the kernel and grub, which will put back the /boot files....
[22:22] <mongolai> Decepticon:  I swear that worked for me one time, but now It doesn't. Oh well, It really wasn't that neat anyway
[22:22] <Decepticon> hah
[22:22] <csilk> whats the disk analyser called?
[22:22] <zume> mongolai: Lol why does Festivle exist if real people cant use it. :P Although, the site I got it from has a place to enter text, and it speaks the text online. It seems pretty good for free TTS.
[22:22] <Decepticon> disk usage analyzer
[22:23] <Sonja> verdant and reinstalling the kernel and grub wouldn't damage my installed programs and /home if /boot is a separate partition?
[22:23] <mongolai> zume:  remember when I mentioned something about the state of TTS in linux being somewhat "behind"
[22:23] <gregory> Tell me... Is it ok, if I have Ubuntu installed right now on a drive, to install xp on another drive? Will the MBR be ok?
[22:23] <apadox> kthef i am online on ubuntu now .. over wireless .. :) thx
[22:23] <csilk> i cant find the disk analyser???
[22:24] <zume> mongolai: more behind than an elephants postior. gotta go for now..
[22:24] <mongolai> zume:  this is a perfect example... I really wish these things just worked,,,
[22:24] <pepperjack> gregory: i think xp will overwrite the mbr of the master but not sure
[22:24] <kthef> apadox: Solid!
[22:24] <csilk> ahh got it
[22:24] <mongolai> zume, take care for now
[22:24] <epl> Hi, can someone tell me why there is no toshiba acpi driver in the intrepid kernel package?
[22:24] <ompaul> csilk, disk analyser? sudo fdisk -l or gksu gparted  or something else?
[22:24] <IceGuest_75> Anyone want to help someone new to Linux on how to get it to work in a parrallel?
[22:24] <pepperjack> gregory: id expect it to just overwrite mbr of the hd its installed to so prob ok i guess
[22:24] <apadox> kthef can I do something now to keep it this way without doing same thing every time :D
[22:25] <verdant> Sonja: no it would not damage.  However, you need to mount your / partition under /mnt/root and chroot into it, then mount /boot, then you can "apt-get --reinstall install ...
[22:25] <IceGuest_75> Parallels Workstation, Ubuntu system,Error msg: ACPI:  no DMI BIOS year, acpi=force is required to enable acpi
[22:25] <verdant> Sonja: or use aptitude to do the reinstalling of kernel and grub
[22:25] <csilk> Omikane,  I found it, i was having a blind moment
[22:25] <maximilian-schro> hey everybody. i have a question about upgrading. i want to try intrepid but before this i want to make an complete image of my system. does anybody have a good how-to for creating such an image and restoring it (just in case i will need it)
[22:26] <Sonja> verdant ahh
[22:26] <kthef> apadox: go into /etc/network/interfaces and copy the wired connection settings with that interface you need to have dhcp
[22:26] <kthef> apadox: sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces
[22:26] <ballzee_> i just installed ubuntu 8.10 and it seems so slow connecting to some stuff im trying an apt-get update and its taking more than 10 min to get threw the servers and i cant connect to xchat.org anyone else have that trouble ?
[22:27] <Cluny> a problem with netscape wrapper, I installed it but I can't use it in the command
[22:27] <apadox> kthef now what?
[22:27] <ompaul> ballzee_, go to #ubuntu+1 for chat about 8.10 that is what it is there for
[22:27] <droopsta915> imy computer wont detect my flash drive? what can i do?
[22:27] <pepperjack> ballzee_: maybe do a `dig google.com` then gksu /etc/resolv.conf and see if you have more than one nameserver if so try removing the one not shown in the dig or something. could be ipv6 i guess too
[22:27] <rparish> hello
[22:28] <pepperjack> ballzee_: er gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf i mean
[22:28] <VladimirLV> Hello!

[22:28] <kthef> apadox: copy the section with your wired connection and change the eth0 to whatever the name of your wireless card is
[22:28] <droopsta915> VladimirLV: you mean internet files?
[22:29] <VladimirLV> droopsta915: no, all not needed files. some install archives.. or.. i dont know..
[22:29] <graingert> VladimirLV: can you repeat the question?
[22:29] <mrrcp> so since it wont let format it what shall i do

[22:43] <droopsta915> graingert: lol, my bad, I was trying ./lsusb.
[22:43] <n8tuser> Pulpie_-> or maybe hit F4 when booting
[22:44] <mongolai> MothOnLovesFlame:  you need the proceeding ./ if it's in your home dir, or somewhere besides the system dirs
[22:44] <droopsta915> graingert: i dont know how to run lsusb
[22:45] <droopsta915> graingert: sorry, i got it, now what
[22:45] <graingert> droopsta915: put it into a pastebin of your own choice?

[22:47] <quibbler> boswe:realplayer - mplayer what have you tried?
[22:47] <ReAn> having a problem
[22:47] <boswe> quibbler, I've tried mplayer and vlc the quality isn't that good
[22:48] <ReAn> every time i type " in my ubuntu install nothing shows up, when i type "" only " shows up, but my files have invalid characters in them now
[22:48] <ReAn> i assume i screwed something up
[22:48] <boswe> quibbler, is there a way to use maybe files from windows directory with vlc or mplayer to decode the .wmvs?
[22:48] <ReAn> sound fammiliar to anyone?
[22:48] <droopsta915> graingert: (transcend information, inc) this looks like the flash drive
[22:48] <graingert> droopsta915: ah ok
[22:49] <quibbler> boswe: I just tried it with realplayer and it work fine for me, but then I'm also happy with vlc!
[22:49] <engemec> i will make a presentation about "Programming for Engineering using Free Softwares"
[22:49] <boswe> quibbler, it works fine but the quality isn't the same as if you are playing em on windows media player
[22:49] <engemec> i hope that my notebook working with th data show
[22:49] <Pulpie_> n8tuser: im trying under safe graphics mode to boot
[22:50] <boswe> quibbler, I'm asking if there's a way to achieve the same quality as on windows
[22:50] <n8tuser> Pulpie_-> okay
[22:50] <davidnog> i installed 8.04, im impressed, good stuff, have a laptop with a mobility hd2600, drivers fine, 3d, everythin works. except my laptop is burning hot, cpu is at 60c on idle (t7100 C2C), which doesnt happen in xp or vista, tried undervolting, didnt solve anything, im frustrated, i was convinced i was finally going to use linux( use BSD for servers) and i feel like im forced to go back to windows for desktop usage. Anyone has had
[22:50] <dewente> how make mi ip public for webserver
[22:50] <quibbler> boswe: I have no idea, I haven't tried with windows.
[22:50] <graingert> droopsta915: unplug it and insert it again when you are looking at the logs
[22:51] <graingert> davidnog: what company makes your laptop?
[22:51] <davidnog> graingert: toshiba
[22:51] <boswe> quibbler, ok =[
[22:51] <graingert> davidnog: have a look at frequency scaling applet?
[22:51] <xah_lee> is aynone running ubunto on PPC? i checked http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download it says PPC not supported for latest version
[22:51] <csilk> dewente,  you need to tell apache.conf to listen on an open port
[22:52] <droopsta915> graingert: you mean the lsusb logs?
[22:52] <dewente> csilk. how ?
[22:52] <davidnog> graingert: i tried running it always on lowest freq, bios option, still high temps
[22:52] <davidnog> when i run cpuburn
[22:52] <davidnog> on both procs
[22:52] <davidnog> temp goes up to 95c
[22:52] <FloodBot2> davidnog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:52] <jannott> What was the command to see loaded kernel modules and the location of blacklist file
[22:52] <graingert> droopsta915: no system->administration->sytem logs
[22:52] <Pulpie_> n8tuser: this fails to.
[22:53] <graingert> davidnog: what are the windows temperatures?
[22:53] <n8tuser> Pulpie_-> which laptop and video card do yo have?
[22:53] <graingert> davidnog: don't use the bios undervolting; use speedstep
[22:53] <davidnog> it wasnt to undervolt
[22:53] <csilk> dewente, first you need to log into your router and forward a port (each router is different) then you need to find your paache conf file, usuly in etc/apache2 and set the por listen field to whatever port you just forwarded in your router
[22:53] <davidnog> i did the tutorial on iundervolting ofr hardy on the foruns
[22:53] <csilk> *apache
[22:54] <ReAn> how can i re-set the keyboard layout i have?
[22:54] <davidnog> i managed to lower the voltages
[22:54] <csilk> *port
[22:54] <davidnog> but still high temps
[22:54] <ReAn> for some reason ubuntu is having issues typing " or ' keys
[22:54] <ReAn> it's driving me nuts and making programming a royal pain
[22:54] <dewente> csilk. should be 80
[22:54] <fatfishy> anyone else having display resolution issues with the latest hardy patch. cant get anything better than 640 on nvidia drivers or 800 on vesa if i set the monitor res manually it like a big zoom window i can move if i hit the edge of the screen
[22:54] <davidnog> i used the bios option to keep the proc at lowest frequency always
[22:54] <graingert> davidnog: have you installed the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.22.2 applet?
[22:54] <davidnog> nope
[22:54] <MothOnLovesFlame> does anyone know what will speed up processors to almost 100% when they're doing very little work?
[22:54] <csilk> dewente,  I wouldnt use 80, but you can use that if you want
[22:54] <graingert> davidnog: right click on the panel and add it, please
[22:55] <davidnog> you mean the think that indicates
[22:55] <dewente> ok
[22:55] <MothOnLovesFlame> my processors are constantly working hard lately
[22:55] <davidnog> what is the clock speed?
[22:55] <davidnog> yeah i  have that
[22:55] <csilk> dewente, if you do use 80, you need to set port forwarding on port 80 on your router
[22:55] <graingert> davidnog: yes, and uses speedstep editing
[22:55] <dewente> csilk, could you get in http://dewente.homeunix.com/ ?
[22:55] <MothOnLovesFlame> constantly near 100%
[22:55] <graingert> davidnog: what menu do you get when you click on it?
[22:55] <x|e> Is there any BIG differences between Ubuntu and Debian?
[22:55] <davidnog> 1 sec let me check
[22:56] <graingert> davidnog: left click
[22:56] <davidnog> just a regular preferences help about remove from panel thing
[22:56] <DIFH-iceroot> x|e: yes, debian is more used for servers, ubuntu is more used for desktop-pc, debian has stable software (old) and ubuntu has newer (unstable) software
[22:56] <davidnog> left click doesnt do anything
[22:56] <csilk> dewente, no, have you got the port forwarded?
[22:57] <dewente> csilk, yes
[22:57] <graingert> davidnog: are you sure?
[22:57] <csilk> dewente, whats your ip address
[22:57] <_paneb> is there a complete gtk download manager? one that can accept links from firefox (i tried the downthemall addon, but i've had a few problems with it)
[22:57] <csilk> dewente, and what port you using?
[22:57] <dewente> 80
[22:57] <droopsta915> graingert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62211/
[22:57] <davidnog> yes
[22:57] <graingert> davidnog: what temperatures do you get on windows?
[22:57] <droopsta915> graingert: thats what happens when i plug in the drive
[22:57] <csilk> dewente, whats your ip address
[22:57] <x|e> DIFH-iceroot, ya i use debian's unstable. but i was wondering if ubuntu would be better as i really only use it as a desktop system... and if there were any advantages i would gain
[22:57] <MarcC> how do I make my laptop automatically sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda when it comes out of suspend?
[22:58] <davidnog> 50-60
[22:58] <davidnog> max 65
[22:58] <MothOnLovesFlame> can anyone tell me what would make processors constantly run near 100% in ubuntu?
[22:58] <dewente> csilk, the router ip address is http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[22:58] <davidnog> when pushing it
[22:58] <MarcC> MothOnLovesFlame: run htop in a console and find out
[22:58] <kbrosnan> _paneb: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows4.html i know it says windows, but a few are cross platform and might meet your needs?
[22:58] <davidnog> right now i have 0% cpu usage on ubuntu and has been like that for an hour and its at 62c
[22:58] <csilk> dewente,  so your webserver address is http://<IP_ADDRESS>:80
[22:58] <davidnog> when i push it it goes up to 95c
[22:58] <graingert> droopsta915: try mounting /dev/sg4
[22:58] <MothOnLovesFlame> marcc whats htop in a console
[22:58] <davidnog> which is obviously not good
[22:59] <MarcC> MothOnLovesFlame: do you have a little "black monitor" icon with a ">" in it on your top panel?
[22:59] <dewente> csilk, can you get in ?
[22:59] <xtian> mongolai: you there?
[22:59] <csilk> dewente,  no
[22:59] <MothOnLovesFlame> oh ok
[22:59] <csilk> dewente, can i port scan you to see if that port is open?
[22:59] <MarcC> MothOnLovesFlame: or go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal
[22:59] <dewente> yes
[22:59] <graingert> davidnog: can you type my name before each message in irc, it makes it easier to read for me (highlights it)
[22:59] <davidnog> graingert: sorry about that
[22:59] <MarcC> MothOnLovesFlame: at the terminal, type "sudo apt-get install htop"
[23:00] <MarcC> MothOnLovesFlame: after it installs, type "htop" and press enter.
[23:00] <MarcC> MothOnLovesFlame: this will show you which application is using all the CPU percentage and allow you to close it if you like
[23:00] <graingert> davidnog: what is the linux temp vs the windows temp?
[23:00] <dewente> f
[23:00] <csilk> dewente, port 80 isn't open it's filtered
[23:01] <dewente> let me see
[23:01] <buck_work> Okay... very weird issue here and so far the forums are no help. I have noticed recently that at random intervals, my sound output (which works perfectly normally) suddenly massively jumps in volume to the point that it causes near-total distortion of the audio stream.
[23:01] <MothOnLovesFlame> marcc its not an application, its slow on startup too
[23:01] <davidnog> graingert: win 50-65 , linux 62-95
[23:01] <csilk> dewente, nmap output >  80/tcp   filtered http
[23:01] <buck_work> Anyone heard of this happening and possibly how to fix it
[23:01] <buck_work> ?
[23:01] <davidnog> not to mention
[23:01] <MarcC> MothOnLovesFlame: fine, you'll still be able to diagnose the problem, most likely
[23:01] <davidnog> graingert: my fan is also always on, like 100%
[23:01] <davidnog> graingert: on linux that is
[23:01] <MothOnLovesFlame> and its slow in windows
[23:01] <graingert> davidnog: ok speedstep is obviosly failing; have you installed the latest bios for your laptop?
[23:01] <MothOnLovesFlame> and ive done 4 clean installs
[23:01] <droopsta915> graingert: sorry to bug so much, whats the mount command
[23:02] <graingert> droopsta915: I can't quite remember it exactly
[23:02] <albertico> droopsta915, mount
[23:02] <davidnog> graingert: the thing is, the bios setting that makes the clock always run at minimum didnt work either, temp as still high, the clock was always at 800mhz i checked, when dyanmic it goes up to 1.8g
[23:02] <albertico> droopsta915, for details about it, type man mount
[23:02] <dsfargeg> hm.  does anyone know of a substitute for idl?
[23:02] <albertico> graingert, lol
[23:03] <graingert> albertico: he needs the specific command to mount /dev/sg4
[23:03] <dsfargeg> i found one using the forums, but it didn't install properly.
[23:03] <graingert> davidnog: does the panel applet complain about not having speedstep
[23:03] <graingert> davidnog: (when it loads)
[23:04] <davidnog> graingert: nope
[23:04] <albertico> graingert, jeje
[23:04] <tscon> when I "Suspend" from a live cd it doesn't unsuspend properly (black screen or text and keyboard is unresponsive). Any solution?
[23:05] <graingert> hmm ok davidnog right click on the applet and click about
[23:05] <davidnog> graingert: but i dont think that speedstep is the problem, speedstep seems to be working fine, and as i said before when i set the proc to be always at lowest frequency possible, and it was, the temp was still high
[23:05] <davidnog> just gives me a window
[23:05] <graingert> davidnog: well, maybe windows lies, or linux gets the temp wrong
[23:05] <davidnog> lol windows does not lie
[23:05] <davidnog> for two reasons
[23:05] <Sonja> is gnash as good as flash? i get the annoying grey box error from time to time in firefox
[23:05] <graingert> davidnog: feels high temp?
[23:05] <davidnog> 1. the actual laptop is not nearly as hot, it can be on my lap
[23:06] <graingert> Sonja: no
[23:06] <davidnog> graingert: and number 2. the fan, on linux its always at 100%
[23:06] <davidnog> graingert: on windows it only comes on when im abusing it
[23:06] <kbrosnan> Sonja: generally no, though it depends on your principles
[23:06] <graingert> davidnog: I would definetly recomend a bios upgrade; I had similar problems with mine till I did
[23:07] <graingert> davidnog: seems un-related but...
[23:07] <huy_> hi, my computer screen is blurry after sleep using hardy. how can i fix it?
[23:08] <graingert> huy_: ??
[23:08] <davidnog> graingert: ill give it a try
[23:08] <graingert> huy_: more detail please...
[23:08] <huy_> like, after the computer is recover from sleep. everything is unreadable.
[23:08] <davidnog> graingert: thanks for the advice
[23:08] <graingert> davidnog: install the bios update on windows
[23:08] <reportin1sjr> when I type sudo it says "unable to resolve host", anyone have any clue why?
[23:09] <huy_> the fonts is blurred. the graphic is absolutely horrible. and it only happens when i enabled the nvidia driver. without using hte driver, the graphic is fine
[23:09] <graingert> huy_: can you get a before/after phot
[23:09] <mongolai> reportin1sjr:  depends, what command are you trying to sudo into?
[23:09] <reportin1sjr> mongolai: any command
[23:09] <reportin1sjr> mongolai: even plain sudo
[23:09] <huy_> graingert: photo?
[23:09] <graingert> reportin1sjr: yeah it's an old bug google it
[23:09] <graingert> huy_: yeah
[23:10] <shawn_> Why am i getting this?: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[23:10] <reportingsjr> graingert: I did, and I checked etc/whatever it is and it looked fine
[23:10] <huy_> yeah, it would tak e awhile
[23:10] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  is this a plain install, -- that is, are you one of he original users?
[23:10] <graingert> reportingsjr: hmm
[23:10] <reportingsjr> mongolai: yes
[23:11] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  so you are a "sudoer", then?
[23:11] <reportingsjr> I kind of have to, to compile programs...
[23:11] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  I mean, the system considers you a sudoer?
[23:11] <reportingsjr> oh, um, how do you mean?
[23:12] <Pokshun> Linux experts: How do I kill a parent process AND it's children. I am using, "pgrep -f <processname> | xargs pkill -P" ... but for reasons beyond the scope of this discussion, I need a command that works without piping
[23:12] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  just a sec
[23:12] <reportingsjr> would you like to see cat /etc/hosts?
[23:12] <Flare183> !paste
[23:12] <n8tuser> Pokshun-> if you know the pid of the process, you can directly kill -15 pid
[23:13] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  no, not yet, perhaps you have a simple issue with /etc/sudoers
[23:14] <reportingsjr> mongolai: well, I can't cat that :p
[23:14] <skyviper> How to run file with extension .run under admin privilegs?
[23:14] <Pokshun> n8tuser: No I dont know the PID
[23:14] <Marie_untu> which software ubuntu uses for the documentation web pages???
[23:14] <joaopinto> skyviper, sudo sh file.sh
[23:14] <graingert> droopsta915: it looks like it should be working fine
[23:14] <joaopinto> erm, .run
[23:14] <joaopinto> skyviper, what software are you installing ?
[23:15] <n8tuser> Pokshun-> if you dont know the pid, then do what you have done previously
[23:15] <Tom_Davis> geez, what a nightmare, guess what, hardy wont install with bad dimm
[23:15] <graingert> droopsta915: run "mount | grep -i sde"
[23:15] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  I know, I'm looking into my system for possible clues, however, a pastebin of the hosts file might help afterall
[23:15] <reportingsjr> heh, ok
[23:15] <skyviper> joaopinto vbox addons.
[23:15] <liquid> Im trying to install e17 and when I go to config it it says svn not available, ive installed a few different svn and it still says not available

[23:15] <joaopinto> liquid, the package name it's subversion
[23:15] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  what happens when you run just plain "sudo"
[23:16] <graingert> Marie_untu: apache?
[23:16] <reportingsjr> mongolai: it says sudo: unable to resolve host sanskrit
[23:16] <liquid> joaopinto: Any subverison or should I get the DEV?
[23:16] <Pici> Marie_untu: What documentation web pages?
[23:16] <n8tuser> Marie_untu-> which web pages?
[23:16] <stevenw9> Hello all!
[23:16] <joaopinto> liquid, it should be the regular subversion package
[23:16] <Pici> Marie_untu: If you mean wiki.ubuntu.com, that is MoinMoin
[23:16] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  is there a language barrier there, or here that we need to know about?
[23:16] <graingert> im off d00dz
[23:17] <liquid> joaopinto: Should I use apt-get or aptitude
[23:17] <stevenw9> Might anyone be available to help me get my GeForce 8200 working on Ubuntu 8.01 LTS?

[23:18] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  ok, just a sec
[23:19] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  what does the command "uname" have to say?
[23:19] <reportingsjr> mongolai: Linux
[23:19] <Marie_untu> pici: it is the same as the gnome wiki???
[23:19] <droopsta915> my usb flash drive shows up as hidden. what can i do to make it work when i plug it in automatically?
[23:19] <Pici> Marie_untu: unknown
[23:19] <flam> uhm, and what's wrong with that?:o
[23:19] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  how about a "cat /etc/hostname"
[23:19] <flam> sorry
[23:19] <flam> wrong channel

[23:20] <AboSamoor> do you know any channel for regular expressions ?
[23:20] <prof_1> http://pastebin.com/mb83ff48

[23:21] <Pici> AboSamoor: #regex, or possibly the channel for whatever programming language your doing regexes in
[23:21] <aprilhare> question: whenever I am printing from firefox 3, the documents I try to print have badly spaced letters - some run together - and I was wondering if I was missing something that prevents this?
[23:21] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  so "Sanskrit" is *your* hostname, then?
[23:21] <reportingsjr> mongolai: mine :)
[23:22] <stevenw9> Is posting of Ubuntu Question links allowed?
[23:22] <stevenw9> Like from the official site.
[23:22]  * philosophe Leaves !
[23:22] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  OK, :)  And sudo can't connect to that...?
[23:22] <reportingsjr> mongolai: apparently not
[23:22] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  can you "ping localhost"   ?
[23:23] <kbrosnan> aprilhare: sometimes picking a different default font helps, or installing the ms core web fonts
[23:23] <reportingsjr> mongolai: yep
[23:23] <blackvd> pulseaudio quit working on me after reboot. Is there a way to restart is without having to restartx?
[23:23] <favro> !hostname

[23:24] <Analkrut> Hi
[23:24] <extor> Are there any filesystems out there that save some parity information on the software/device driver level? Like 1/8th of the space being used for a recovery bit in case of data corruption?
[23:24] <mongolai> reportingsjr:  I'll be back in a sec, but try "ping Sanskrit"  or however you spelled it. I'll be back in a sec
