[18:19] <frostburn> cawnc4, close your synaptic package manager
[18:20] <cawnc4> when trying to install compiz fusion i get this errorhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/194523/
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> cawnc4:  use the proper package names, and you may want touse the synaptic pacakge manager.
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> cawnc4:  and you an only have one 'package manager' progarm going at a time.
[18:20] <cawnc4> I got that directly from the ubuntu website
[18:20] <cawnc4> oh that would explain it LOL
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager (is not correct)

[18:22] <blind|melon|chit> Hello :> I'm trying to get at a contact in my Evolution address book through a remote terminal, is there any way of listing the contacts from the command line?
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> blind|melon|chit:  you could just run a vncserver, and get a remote desktop. (or ssh -X to the remote box, and run the app and have it appear locally)
[18:24] <blind|melon|chit> Dr_Willis: Hmm...true enough, I'll give that a try :>
[18:25] <BeGeMoT> hi all
[18:25] <XbmcUser> Hi
[18:26] <XbmcUser> I can't connect via wifi
[18:26] <BeGeMoT> i have one small question..... why my ubuntu box is very slow to show movies and crush when i try make movie fullscreen
[18:26] <BeGeMoT> but tuxracers running fine and fast
[18:26] <XbmcUser> My network manager changes password
[18:27] <BeGeMoT> config - built-in Ati Radeon HD 3200, CPU - Amd Athlon x2 64 2,5Ghz, ram 4Gb, 512 under video (max in bios)\
[18:27] <XbmcUser> What i should do?
[18:28] <Sefler> I can't shutdown my laptop in Ubuntu 9.04, any ideas?
[18:28] <BeGeMoT> press power button for 5 sec =)
[18:28] <xiong> Sefler, that sounds to me like an issue :(
[18:29] <frostburn> BeGeMoT, what are the movies encoded as?
[18:29] <BeGeMoT> xvid, mkv, dvd....
[18:29] <BeGeMoT> output FullHD on plasma using hdmi cable
[18:29] <BeGeMoT> divx...
[18:29] <BeGeMoT> mpeg2
[18:30] <frostburn> XbmcUser, i'd run a wireshark and see what packets are going over the line, but that might be a little advanced
[18:30] <BeGeMoT> trying make up htpc...
[18:31] <Sefler> I said I can't shutdown in a normal way every time. The system stops responding after the progress goes to zero.
[18:31] <BeGeMoT> motherboard gigabyte GA-MA78GM S2H
[18:31] <Arceye> which would be easier on the cpu for a server box, download ubuntu server and install x onto it    or download the desktop version and install the server items ?
[18:31] <frostburn> BeGeMoT, direct rendering enabled? glxinfo|grep direct
[18:31] <BeGeMoT> yep
[18:31] <Sefler> But the monitor is not powered off.
[18:31] <BeGeMoT> frostburn - yep
[18:31] <XbmcUser> When i put password in wlan manager everything is fine.but then after few seconds pops-up 2nd time window with passord confirm
[18:31] <porter1> does dd capture the MBR if I am copying all of the primary hard drive? I had trouble with clonezilla because it screwed up GRUB...
[18:31] <jamescarr> any idea what I can do to get my monitor output on my laptop to work???
[18:31] <frostburn> BeGeMoT, run a top when trying to play the video, what's your load average at?  is a single core maxed out?
[18:32] <jamescarr> it worked with Ubuntu 8
[18:32] <jamescarr> in jaunty it no longer works.. none of the fn keys do
[18:32] <jamescarr> I take that back.. the fn keys do work, just the redirect output to lcd one does not
[18:32] <porter1> jamescarr, it really depends on the video card type
[18:33] <MyWay> hi, does somebody know how to make GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i working? i have only 640x480 and 800x600 and no restricted drivers -_-
[18:33] <BeGeMoT> 50% for each core
[18:33] <jamescarr> cool I got it working!
[18:33] <XbmcUser> When i look inside network manager i can see another key entered than i've entered before
[18:33] <deany> porter1, odd.  I use it all the time.  Im using the experimental one tho, based on jaunty, for ext4 support
[18:34] <cawnc4> ccm
[18:34] <porter1> deany, which clonezilla version?
[18:34] <frostburn> BeGeMoT, what program are you using to do playback, try it with vlc, mplayer
[18:34] <deany> porter1, no need to restore grub either if its already there...if all you are doin is restoring partitions..
[18:34] <deany> porter1, http://clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/experimental/iso-zip-files.php
[18:34] <porter1> deany, it seems to 'break' grub
[18:35] <NetLarIrvine> Ubuntu runs fine on AMD processors right?
[18:35] <porter1> At the end of the restore, it acts like it's trying to install a different version of GRUB or something
[18:35] <frostburn> NetEcho, yes
[18:35] <frostburn> er NetLarIrvine yes
[18:35] <marius> hello ppl
[18:35] <NetEcho> lol
[18:35] <headrx> How do i see the name of a mnt point ? trying to format my usb drv its name is 'disk'
[18:35] <NetLarIrvine> How about nVidia GeForce cards
[18:35] <deany> porter1, try that version then..  i dont restore grub if its already there, and im just restoring a partition
[18:35] <porter1> deany, does your grub after restore find menu.lst?
[18:35] <MyWay> hi, does somebody know how to make GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i working? i have only 640x480 and 800x600 and no restricted drivers -_-
[18:36] <siwon> ah buzy channel
[18:36] <deany> I have done it tho, successfully
[18:36] <erUSUL> headrx: grep disk /proc/mounts
[18:36] <porter1> deany, because mine didn't. It gave me the infamous grub prompt
[18:36] <frostburn> headrx, ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/
[18:36] <NetLarIrvine> nVidia is supported well on Ubuntu also?
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> headrx:  try the 'mount' command.. and if from windows you give the drive a proper 'name/label' it wont use 'disk' under linux :)
[18:36] <Guest13485> can I remove widdows os without removing other files on the windows partition?
[18:36] <frostburn> MyWay, try the restricted drivers?
[18:36] <Guest13485> I need to make that a ubuntu oart.
[18:36] <grawity> Guest13485: Yes
[18:36] <Guest13485> part.
[18:37] <Guest13485> yes? wow
[18:37] <headrx> ah, not worried about the name, i actually migrated from windows completely
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> headrx:  if its ext2/3/linux filesystem use the 'tune2fs' comman to set a disk label also.
[18:37] <deany> !grub | porter1
[18:37] <XbmcUser> MyWay you can try envyng
[18:37] <Hajuu> Hi guys, I am trying to run an application and capture any and all console output generated. I have tried just piping it to a file, and i've tried running it in a shell and piping the output of the shell instance, but neither way has been able to capture any and all command output.. Anyone got any ideas how I can capture everything into a file?
[18:37] <headrx> Dr_Willis: im installing linux on it, should i format with ext3 ?
[18:38] <Guest13485> and how on earth can I do that thing? :))
[18:38] <grawity> Guest13485:  rm -rf WINDOWS "Program Files" "System Volume Information" RECYCLER pagefile.sys NTDETECT.COM ntldr
[18:38] <frostburn> Hajuu, it's most likely being outputted as stderr instead of stdout, you'll need to redirect that as well
[18:38] <MyWay> frostburn: there aren't
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> headrx:  im not clear on the details of hwat you are doing  - So i no idea. :)
[18:38] <grawity> Guest13485: Ah, and hiberfil.sys and boot.ini
[18:38] <porter1> deany, I've tried all of that. GRUB gives me 'Error 15' after setting the root and setting up.
[18:39] <Hajuu> frostburn: sure, how do I do that in a similar style to pipe
[18:39] <porter1> I have a very simple setup too. Just the typical one hardive with ext4 and a swap
[18:39] <frostburn> Hajuu, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> headrx:  if you install 'linux' to a hard drive.. you will want to use a linux filesystem. such as ext2/3/4 or similer. :)  the installer normally can partition/format the disk as needed
[18:39] <headrx> Dr_Willis : want to install a version of ubuntu (i have the 7.10 iso) just so i can boot up into linux to burn some data off roomies computer  (severely infected)
[18:40] <Hajuu> lol ahh thats weird
[18:40] <headrx> not interested in using it anymore after then as i have 9.04 installed on this machine and server
[18:40] <Hajuu> thanks alot frostburn
[18:40] <porter1> Then I tried simply installing vanilla Ubuntu, then copying over some root folders
[18:41] <porter1> But, fat doesn't support symlinks -.-
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> headrx:  there are live cd's that let you do that. :) they can run totally in ram. No install needed.
[18:41] <frostburn> porter1, what are you trying to accomplish?
[18:41] <lanoxx-> how do i remove the compiz blacklisting?
[18:41] <headrx> Dr_Willis: perfect scenario except that he only has one optical drive
[18:41] <deany> porter1, dunno dude.  clonezilla never failed me.  try that newer ubuntu based version.
[18:41] <headrx> so i cant burn
[18:41] <porter1> frostbum, I'm trying to simply backup a hard drive.
[18:41] <lanoxx-> i just updated to intel 2.7.1 and 2.6.30
[18:41] <BeGeMoT_> Xorg - have 80% in top, vlc have 10%
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> headrx:  puppy linux and other small disrtos can go totally to ram. :) and freeup the optical disk
[18:42] <Guest13485> ok, but I want to make that partition to be a native ubuntu one
[18:42] <Guest13485> :))
[18:42] <frostburn> BeGeMoT, top is running at 80%? o.O
[18:42] <WanFu_> is there a way, while in X, to change the screen resolution on the fly, with some hotkey combo?
[18:42] <headrx> ill have to check into that
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> headrx:  they wont be ussing kde/k3b - of course.. but other burning tools.
[18:42] <porter1> frostburn, I'm trying to simply backup a hard drive.
[18:42] <porter1> Sorry about name
[18:42] <lanoxx-> WanFu_, use randr
[18:42] <BeGeMoT_> frostburn no
[18:42] <BeGeMoT_> 50%
[18:43] <lanoxx-> porter1, whats your question?
[18:43] <frostburn> porter1, i'd boot up a live cd and then copy the hard disk
[18:43] <WanFu_> lanoxx-, I cant tho, it is set at a resolution my monitor does not support, even tho I changed xorg.conf
[18:43] <BeGeMoT_> top 48% cpu
[18:43] <BeGeMoT_> idl 49
[18:43] <porter1> frostburn, using dd, right? It's slow as hell
[18:43] <porter1> I'm doing it right now tho
[18:43] <lanoxx-> WanFu_ usually u can use randr to controll the resolution, if not i dont know, sorry
[18:43] <frostburn> porter1, dd, rsync, cpio whatever you need to get the job done
[18:44] <lanoxx-> porter1, u have to add bs=2M to speed up dd
[18:44] <lanoxx-> otherwise it will copy one byte at a time and thats very slow
[18:44] <frostburn> BeGeMoT, do a cat /proc/cpuinfo does everything look ok there?
[18:44] <WanFu_> lanoxx-.. is there a hotkey to get to a terminal?
[18:44] <BeGeMoT_> it make me crazy.... first linux for media pc and it not run from box... my lovely windows...
[18:44] <lanoxx-> WanFu_, ctrl_alt_f1
[18:44] <tyler_d1> I am trying to specify in mdadm a single disk for booting off of, the problem I am having is that post configuration I reboot, and initramfs tries to boot from the raid array, my os resides on a single disk. I end up with the (initramfs) prompt and am unable to boot from the device
[18:45] <WanFu_> ty\
[18:45] <siwon> anyone familar with gdesklets? i'm a noob and i'm having an isue with some apps like themes and icons and what not so i installed gdesklets but when i go to application the click on it then it creats an error saying could not launch, failed to execute child process, no such file or directory???
[18:45] <tyler_d1> what do I need to add to force initramfs to boot from the single disk rather then the raid 5?
[18:45] <lanoxx-> welcome
[18:45] <porter1> lanoxx-, too late. I wasn't sure what the best blocksize value would be
[18:45] <sysdoc> Guys I now have a few objectives which include: 1 installing the source for the planet CCRMA kernel and re compile for this hardware (also needed for Line6 driver). 2 get alsa to ID this sound card (intel-HDA Realtec888 codex) correctly and correct the ALSA mixers sliders to correctly control the right outs.  Does anyone have howto's or other material that could assist in this? please pm any links you may have, I have to step a
[18:45] <sysdoc> way and don't know how long I'll be. Thanks
[18:45] <headrx> Dr_Willis: i think ill install ubuntu on my usb drive and just boot that way, that way i can use standard tools
[18:46] <lanoxx-> porter1, the best size differes from drive to drive, but for me, when i once used dd the speed increase was from 2 days to 2 hours after I added the bs option
[18:46] <lanoxx-> for a copy of 100gb
[18:46] <headrx> Dr_Willis: if my usb drive is /dev/sdb1 how should i format?
[18:46] <lanoxx-> can any one tell me how to remove the compiz blacklisting for intel on jaunty?
[18:46] <porter1> lanoxx-, thankfully I'm just trying to backup these small drives (35GB), so it isn't too painful
[18:47] <lanoxx-> porter1, ok then, anyway if its too slow you can still start over again
[18:47] <lanoxx-> there is also a command to see how far dd has gome
[18:47] <porter1> lanoxx-, actually I got 3 gigs left
[18:47] <lanoxx-> hehe, ok
[18:47] <porter1> :)
[18:48] <lanoxx-> brb
[18:49] <spart2> can anyone tell me if ich9r raid is supported on Ubuntu 9.04?
[18:50] <mib_4psm53lb> password help please!
[18:51] <porter1> mib, what specifically?
[18:51] <mib_4psm53lb> ran my laptop for ages with the password bypassed so i never had to login. after updating to 904 and restarting its asking for the password again and its been so long that i dont remember
[18:52] <Flannel> mib_4psm53lb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword  will walk you through setting a new one
[18:52] <porter1> mib, you can run the live CD and reset it if you want.
[18:52] <Flannel> Don't even need a liveCD
[18:52] <porter1> Ah, yes, ignore me
[18:52] <porter1> :P
[18:53] <Dracofodder> question on video playback in ubuntu.  I think I have all the codecs installed, as I can download and play podcasts (H264 format for example)  but streaming is choppy and slow from youtube, hulu and other places.  Is this bad playback likely a factor of my cpu speed (old computer) nic, codec, or some other thing?
[18:53] <porter1> Dracofodder, in fullscreen?
[18:53] <BeGeMoT> http://pastebin.com/m1d93a301
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> Dracofodder:  more likely  one of the many 'flash' annoyances.  - we just LOVE flash....
[18:53] <Dracofodder> porter1: nope, small.
[18:53] <porter1> Dracofodder, I believe that flashplayer is simply cruddy
[18:53] <john> hi
[18:53] <siwon> anyone familar with gdesklets? i'm a noob and i'm having an isue with some apps like themes and icons and what not so i installed gdesklets but when i go to application the click on it then it creats an error saying could not launch, failed to execute child process, no such file or directory???
[18:54] <siwon> just let me know when its my turn
[18:54] <siwon> ty
[18:54] <porter1> Dracofodder, on some of the nicest computers I've run Ubuntu on, flashplayer is still slow
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> siwon:  mentioned in the forums  at times.  gdesktlets needs the older version of python to be installed.. and for what its worth.. i wouldent mess with gdesklets.  its not very good.
[18:54] <porter1> Even with accelerated graphics set in Flash settings
[18:54] <Dracofodder> porter1: Dr_Willis.. agreed on flashplayer in both cases, but I used to have a beefier laptop that ran "ok" using opensuse.  I no longer have that hardware, and in all things on this old machine the video is the only thing that is a problem
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> siwon:  i tend to use 'screenlets' or google-applets (i forget the exact name)
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> Dracofodder:  flash is a problem. :)  it can be quirky depending on video card/driveers/kernel version/phase of the moon.
[18:56] <xso> does anyone know a way to prevent my mouse from getting "Lost in the abyss" between my monitors lol...  When I move my mouse to the other monitor since its a different resolution it seems to go into a "Void" area which is fine, just wondering if I could lock the mouse to within the resolution parameters
[18:57] <porter1> xso, do you have a nvidia card?
[18:57] <Guest40636> hi! i have a problems i dont have sounds with this sounds card "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller"  i have to change some line in alsa-base.conf but i cannot edit the files cause of permission someone can tell me how to unlock the files im newbs and french
[18:57] <xso> yea I do
[18:57] <BeGeMoT>  3115 root      20   0  413m  80m  28m R   80  2.9  17:24.15 Xorg
[18:57] <siwon> ty any other suggestions?
[18:57] <BeGeMoT>  4062 begemot   20   0  280m  53m  21m S   14  1.9   2:47.84 vlc
[18:57] <BeGeMoT> it's make me crazy....
[18:57] <xso> Porter: yea I do sorry
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> xso:  not that ive noticed. But i rarely lose the thing :) i do have 2 differnt res monitors also.
[18:57] <porter1> in the nvidia settings area, you can set the offset of the other monitor so that it is closer
[18:57] <tyler_d1> recommended firewall?
[18:57] <Dracofodder> Dr_Willis:  should I go looking for some sort of flash "tuning"  or am I just stuck?   driers and kernel are whatever is in the channel for ubuntu 9.04, I used an nvidia 5950 I had laying about, and installed their ver 172 driver..  Maxed out the ram onthis machine too (not much, it is old hardware.. but it is maced)
[18:58] <xso> Porter: its not like it gets lost its just annoying at times thats all.. I've set my monitor to the same resolution just to avoid the problem
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> Dracofodder:  trouble shooting problamtic flash can be a pain. Not sure to where even BEGIN to start.  check the forums perhaps for that exact video card may be a start
[18:58] <porter1> xso, in the display config area, one of the monitors can be set to overlap
[18:59] <Dracofodder> Dr_Willis: sorry, nvidia driver 173.14.16   just checked.
[18:59] <Guest40636> hi! i have a problems i dont have sounds with this sounds card "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller"  i have to change some line in alsa-base.conf but i cannot edit the files cause of permission someone can tell me how to unlock the files im newbs and french
[18:59] <xso> oh wow thanks man, thats been bothering me for years
[18:59] <xso> lol
[18:59] <Hajuu> is there something around that will allow me to run a program as another user, given that users username and the users password, from command line?
[18:59] <Dracofodder> Dr_Willis: ok, thanks, will do that.  this irc has been a huge help in the past so I figured I'd start my quest here.
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> Hajuu:  ive used, su, and sux, to do that in the past.
[18:59] <halberd> I have installed graphviz with apt-get.  Where might its example scripts be located?
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> !info sux
[19:00] <Hajuu> I want to 100% require users are logged in to run a binary, and if they hack their way around it, I want the app to still have to run as that user
[19:00] <Joeseph> I'm about to install Fedora 11 on my slave HD.  Is it okay if Fedora shares the same home partition and the same Swap partition as my ubuntu install?
[19:00] <Hajuu> ill check out sux
[19:00] <Hajuu> cheers
[19:00] <carpii> Joeseph, id say its a bad idea really
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> Hajuu:  your reasoning/logic/demands are not clear on what you are doing exactly. :)
[19:01] <Joeseph> carpii: How come?
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> Joeseph:  very much NOT a good idea.
[19:01] <carpii> well maybe swap wont be an issue, i dont know
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> Joeseph:  owndership of files will be different btween the 2 disrtos.
[19:01] <Joeseph> Can you explain why?
[19:01] <Hajuu> Dr_Willis: 10 years in web application development would beg to differ :P
[19:01] <NetLarIrvine> Can you do a live CD to check if a computer system will work when unbuntu is installed??
[19:01] <porter1> Joeseph, because the two will be confused with some of the data
[19:01] <carpii> well what if fedora writes some config files, ina  way that isnt compatible with the software on ubuntu ?
[19:02] <NetLarIrvine> I mean like at a computer store??
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> Joeseph:  the initial user id on ubuntu starts at 1000, on redhat/variants its 500 (i think)
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> Joeseph:  so your home users files will show as owned by someone else when the other disrto runs.
[19:03] <Soopa> Hi everyone, I've been looking for an OSS document repository but haven't been able to find one.. anyone have any suggestions?  I currently use Drupal, but all I need it to do is manage a bunch of binary files and documents
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> Hajuu:  your experience means that you eexplinattion was clear? :) i dident think so.. but whatever.. have fun with 'sux'  theres proberly other ways to do what you want also. this is Linux after all.
[19:03] <Soopa> Drupal doesn't have a doc check out/check in feature, which I'd like to have
[19:03] <NetLarIrvine> That way I could test if a system will work first
[19:04] <siwon> any suggestions on a osx type of bar for ubuntu?
[19:04] <Hajuu> Dr_Willis: Well, that is the question in the first place, is it not?
[19:04] <Guest61872> hi! i have a problems i dont have sounds with this sounds card "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller"  i have to change some line in alsa-base.conf but i cannot edit the files cause of permission someone can tell me how to unlock the files im newbs and french
[19:04] <Soopa> siwon: I use Gnome-Do
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> siwon:  most of them ive seen/tried/played with suck. :)
[19:04] <Joeseph> Dr_Willis: That makes sense.  Is there an easy way around this?   Say I made a symbolic link instead of mounting it as home or something?
[19:04] <Flannel> !awn | siwon
[19:04] <Hajuu> Dr_Willis: Or should I not look into sux in exchange for the no help you've offered?
[19:04] <halberd> in os x there is a command (from the terminal) called "open" which tries to guess the filetype, then selects the appropriate program to open with
[19:04] <Hajuu> :P
[19:04] <halberd> is there a similar program on ubuntu?
[19:04] <nightdrever> any good chess training software
[19:05] <siwon> TY
[19:05] <lucas_tiburcio> opa, posso perguntar sobre windows aqui?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> Joeseph:  no idea. Ive seen it mentione4d in for  in forums about shareing homes with diffrent disrtos. You can even have a similer issue with the same disrtos if the users 'ids' are not identical.
[19:05] <halberd> so like, "open foo.png" would open a graphical preview application, and "open foo.htm" would open firefox
[19:05] <cognitiaclaeves> anyone have a link for installing a very basic dev environment on ubuntu via terminal?
[19:05] <lucas_tiburcio> alguem sabe se no windows existe um arquivo de configuração de rede como no linux?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> !build-essential
[19:05] <lucas_tiburcio> alguem sabe se no windows existe um arquivo de configuração de rede como no linux?
[19:05] <lucas_tiburcio> alguem sabe se no windows existe um arquivo de configuração de rede como no linux?
[19:05] <lucas_tiburcio> alguem sabe se no windows existe um arquivo de configuração de rede como no linux?
[19:06] <Flannel> halberd: There is.  I just can't remember what the command is.
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves:  install the build-essential package
[19:06] <FloodBot3> lucas_tiburcio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:06] <Pici> !br | lucas_tiburcio
[19:06] <cognitiaclaeves>    ah, yes.  That's the one.  Thanks!
[19:06] <lucas_tiburcio> thanks ubottu
[19:06] <Flannel> halberd: gnome-open
[19:06] <Joeseph> Dr_Willis: Alright.  For now then, I guess I won't have the same home folder, but I'll share the swap, that's not bad; right?
[19:06] <Flannel> halberd: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/12/16/gnome-open-open-anything-from-the-command-line/
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> Joeseph:  as long as you dont try hibernate/suspend (those can use the swap) it should work.
[19:07] <Orest> is there anyway to extract *.zipx files on ubuntu?
[19:07] <halberd> great Flannel , slight problem is I use kde... maybe I better ask in kubuntu
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> Orest:  sure its not a missnamed .zip file? ive neverheard of .zipx  in mymany years of windows ussage
[19:08] <Joeseph> Dr_Willis: Yeah, that makes sense.   If I hibernate into the swap, then instead boot the other distro, I can see how that would be a problem.
[19:08] <Orest> Dr_Willis: neither have I, but it seems it's a new format WinZip came up with
[19:09] <Orest> I googled it and there are some articles how it's the next best thing since sliced bread etc... but of course no linux support
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> Orest:  actually a google hit says its an OLD format... :)
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> Orest:
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> ZipX is a file extension that will be used for a forthcoming archive file format. StuffIt 8.5 will add recognition for files with this extension. They expect release in Sept 2003.
[19:09] <krzd> hi, i just bouhgt a delock raid controller but ubuntu doesn'T recognizes the hdds
[19:09] <Orest> that is indeed old
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> Orest:  when in doubt try wine and whatever windows app  handles it.
[19:09] <Flannel> halberd: Looks like there's kde-open as well.
[19:10] <Orest> Dr_Willis: I guess that's my best bet, thanks anyway
[19:10] <Joeseph> Alright, one last question then...  Should I let it install grub if it asks? Will it recognize my ubuntu install?
[19:10] <Guest61872> hi! i have a problems i dont have sounds with this sounds card "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller"  i have to change some line in alsa-base.conf but i cannot edit the files cause of permission someone can tell me how to unlock the files im newbs and french
[19:11] <fihan> hi
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> Orest:  gotta love 'new' file extensions the same as old ones.. with totally diffferent tools...
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> Orest:  http://www.winzip.com/xzipx.htm
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> Joeseph:  you will need to pick one distro to handle the boot loader. and most likelyneed to manuyally edit the menu.lst to allow booting either OS. (unless the installers are REAALLY smart)
[19:12] <fihan> Guest61872: sudo nano alsa-base.conf
[19:12] <Joeseph> Dr_Willis: Alright.  Thanks.
[19:12] <Orest> Dr_Willis: I know, it's probably just a marketing thing on winzips part. Why can't we all use tar.gz :)
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> Orest:  i perfer multi part rar archives, zipped together .......
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> :)
[19:13] <Orest> Dr_Willis: I actually heard that 7z gives best compression ratio... but oh well, delving into off topic here. I've got zipx files to extract.
[19:14] <CMarx> %u262D
[19:14] <ongolaBoy> hi.on MoinMoin can i use the macros RecentChange + FullSearch(specific pages) together ?
[19:14] <NetLarIrvine> So does anyone think that would work?, Using Live CD to check if a system is compatible?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Orest: considering the availability of high volume storage, i cant see a few mb here or there being a massive issue
[19:15] <Flannel> ongolaBoy: #ubuntu-offtopic, or #ubuntu-doc, this isn't really an appropriate place for that question
[19:15] <ongolaBoy> Flannel: ok
[19:15] <fosco__> NetLarIrvine, that is the main purpose of the liveCD
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> NetLarIrvine: sure, if it works in the live cd it will work in the installed system. You can even install drivers for hardware in nthe live cd, it will live in the ram disk
[19:16] <NetLarIrvine> So a live CD run will not prove the system will be compatible for installing Ubuntu?
[19:17] <NetLarIrvine> oh sorry
[19:17] <NetLarIrvine> did not read you correctly
[19:17] <NetLarIrvine> Great thanks
[19:17] <PWilder> Hey guys, trying to install AWN Desktop manager and have run into a small problem
[19:18] <PWilder> Apparently I don't have the required repositories to get the things needed to build it,
[19:18] <fosco__> PWilder, sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator
[19:18] <fosco__> that's all you need
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> !info avant-window-navigator
[19:19] <PWilder> I know what it is.
[19:19] <PWilder> I already downloaded it.
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> PWilder: make sure you have universe repositorys enabled
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> PWilder: are you running compiz?
[19:19] <PWilder> I dont know.
[19:19] <PWilder> I thought that Intrepid came with it already.
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> PWilder: wobbly windows? maximise efects? cube desktop?
[19:20] <PWilder> Yeap
[19:20] <PWilder> all that.
[19:20] <PWilder> I do I do!
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> PWilder: ok then launch AWN from the terminal and pastebin the output
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> !pastge
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> !paste
[19:20] <PWilder> installing right now actually.
[19:20] <PWilder> I also know about pasating
[19:21] <PWilder> It worked it worked!
[19:21] <PWilder> thanks guys
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> PWilder: run the command, then copy and paste the output to the pastebin, once you click paste, give us the address of the new page you go to
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> oh, cool
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> :)
[19:22] <PWilder> Oh pooh, that's the v0.1
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> ??
[19:22] <halberd> How does sudo find programs?
[19:22] <halberd> it doesn't seem to use $PATH
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> halberd: sudo doesnt find programs
[19:23] <halberd> what does it do ActionParsnip then? how does it decide?
[19:23] <halberd> by "find programs" I mean, determine that e.g. emacs is located in /usr/bin/emacs
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> halberd: sudo allows you to execute cli based apps with elevated priveledges provided you are in the admin group
[19:23] <halberd> how does it do that?
[19:24] <Hajuu> Yay
[19:24] <Hajuu> Going to use expect
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> halberd: its what sudo is for, I have no idea how it does it and as a user I'm not bothered
[19:24] <Hajuu> thanks for your help frostburn, Dr_Willis
[19:24] <Hajuu> :P
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> halberd: the $PATH will be used for the name autocomplete to work for the command you type after sudo
[19:25] <unop> halberd, it uses a new version of $PATH - as defined in /etc/profile (i believe).   e.g.  sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH'
[19:25] <fretegi> hello all
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> halberd: if you use the 'which' command it will tell you what will be ran when you type the command
[19:25] <fretegi> ok got a problem
[19:25] <fretegi> trying to uninstall wine and EVERYTHING to do with it
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> !ask | fretegi
[19:25] <fretegi> wanna just blow the whole directory
[19:25] <unop> ActionParsnip, except which could give you different results for different users
[19:25] <geirha> halberd: You can see what PATH sudo uses with: sudo env
[19:25] <fretegi> but it wont lemme mw
[19:26] <fretegi> any thoughts?
[19:26] <fosco__> fretegi, rm -rf ~/.wine, that will delete all wine for your user
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> unop: well the command is executed as the curent user so i not incorrect, but you are correct
[19:27] <fretegi> nada
[19:27] <fretegi> just tried
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> fretegi: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[19:27] <unop> ActionParsnip, no, the command is executed by the user specified by sudo (root by default)  :)
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> fretegi: will uninstall all of wine and its dependancys
[19:28] <fretegi> still have it in applications tab
[19:28] <fretegi> ubuntu 8.1 64 bit
[19:29] <savid> Does anyone remember the name of that program that allows you to use your mouse and keyboard across two computers?
[19:29] <geirha> fretegi: look in ~/.local/share/applications , the menu entries are stored there as .desktop-files
[19:30] <fosco__> fretegi, this is not wine, it is only a menu access, use alacarte to delete it
[19:30] <needles> hello
[19:30] <needles> hi

[19:31] <savid> oh nm.. it's synergy
[19:31] <needles> hello
[19:31] <needles> can you help me ?
[19:31] <halberd> somehow /users/me/python got into my sudo path, how did that happen?

[19:32] <halberd> and I specify it in .bashrc
[19:32] <rameshwo> needless - ask if u have any problems with u untu..
[19:33] <lesshaste> how would I reinstall gnome network manager and remove any old wireless networking setup?
[19:33] <lesshaste> basically set things back to the default

[19:35] <diffred> hi! I have no sound in ubuntu 9.04, I have a sound blaster external with USB. Autodetect in sound doesn't play any test sound. I've checked all volume control and anything is mute. Anyone can help me?

[19:37] <Neremor> hello!
[19:37] <Neremor> where can i find voices for festival and how do i install them?
[19:39] <elli222> Hello, Suspend wants to remount my root filesystem Read only. This has massive side effects...
[19:40] <elli222> Such as generic system instability, inability to load X or view manpages...
[19:41] <Xpistos|work> Hey fellas , Let me ask a newb question. I am trying to simplify my ubuntu install (VLC, Scibbus, Medibuntu etc) but when I try to add the Medibuntu repo it says connecting but then does nothing
[19:41] <elli222> How are you trying to "add" the medibuntu repo?
[19:41] <geirha> lesshaste: in gconf-editor, browse to /system/networking/wireless ... is that the information you want to remove?
[19:41] <Xpistos|work>  I am trying to follow the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu instructions but it says  "HTTP request sent, awaiting response..." Any ideas?
[19:42] <keres> how do you check your video memory in ubuntu?
[19:42] <sascha_> tm
[19:42] <JuJuBee> how do I list all files/folders that start with a .  at command line?
[19:42] <geirha> JuJuBee: ls -ld .
[19:42] <SMP_ca> hi, do you know the command that I have to type to modify interactively the "xorg.conf" file?
[19:42] <Orange_v_Blue> Question grown out of curiousity: I would like to have some kind of monitor for my internet usage, but it does not have to be real time. I want it to keep logs, so I can compare days. But I also need to be able to log different networks separately (the wireless at my house is not on the internet, just local, but at school the wireless is connected, and at work it is a wired connection). Any ideas, I'm having a hard time finding someth
[19:43] <geirha> JuJuBee: err, sorry, ls -ld .*  or ls -d .*
[19:43] <dr_tunes> #kompare
[19:44] <Orange_v_Blue> Oh yes, and this is all just for the one laptop I use.
[19:45] <Viper550> Okay, I got a potential noob next door, should I get 8.04 or the latest?
[19:45] <fosco__> Viper550, in my opinion you'd better try 9.04
[19:46] <SMP_ca> do you know the command that modifies interactively the "xorg.conf" configuration?
[19:46] <whatvn> 2045 root      20   0  4676 1736  752 R   96  0.1  73:46.53 mount.ntfs-3g
[19:46] <fosco__> SMP_ca, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:46] <whatvn> ntfs-3g eats 96% my cpu
[19:46] <whatvn> :(
[19:46] <SMP_ca> mmmm
[19:47] <SMP_ca> ok thanks
[19:49] <Orange_v_Blue> I would like to have some kind of monitor for my personal internet usage, but it does not have to be real time. I want it to keep logs, so I can compare days. But I also want to be able to log different networks separately (two wireless and a wired). Any ideas, I'm having a hard time finding something like this. and ideas?

[19:50] <npope> ltcabral: no more sudo ?
[19:50] <ltcabral> npope: no :(
[19:51] <npope> ltcabral: log into a terminal as root and edit visudo
[19:51] <ltcabral> npope: thanks
[19:51] <geirha> ltcabral: Have you changed group memberships lately?
[19:51] <ltcabral> geirha: ya i think i did something stupid...
[19:52] <deany> is there something faster than recordmydesktop when recording a compiz enabled desktop?  its pretty awful.  P4-1gig ram and radeon 9800.
[19:52] <elli222> Hello, resuming after a suspend remounts my root filesystem Read only. This has massive side effects...
[19:53] <elli222> is there any fix for it?
[19:53] <geirha> ltcabral: Users in the "admin" group are the ones that have access to use sudo. If your user is no longer in that group, you'll need to reboot into recovery mode and run "adduser yourusername admin" to add yourusername to the admin group
[19:53] <elli222> (i have a feeling this is why hibernate dosent work, either)
[19:55] <Orange_v_Blue> elli222: just shut down? I have a similar problem, in that when i suspend, I basically have to restart anyway, so I usually just shut down, and then restart. It's a quick enough restart that I don't really mind. less helpful, I know, but it works

[19:55] <chase__> how do i get php4 on unbuntu?
[19:56] <Symmetria> hrm
[19:56] <Symmetria> anyone here got any hints on how I can profile whats bottlenecking my webserver
[19:56] <Quacktop> hmm, i inserted a new network card in my ubuntu server and connected the internet, light on the back works, but doesn't show up in the ifconfig
[19:56] <JuJuBee> geirha: thanks.  Now, how would I go about rm 'ing everything that started with a . in a users home dir?  I want to be certain before I do it.
[19:56] <Symmetria> I'm pushing between 1 and 1.1gigabit but it doesnt seem to wanna rise any higher
[19:56] <Symmetria> and I have bandwidth available, and the box load average is still low
[19:56] <Symmetria> and there is ram etc available and iostat is negligable
[19:57] <elli222> rm -rf ./.*? (i think somthing is wrong with that...)
[19:57] <chase__> have correct drivers?
[19:57] <carpii> elli, depends what youre trying to do
[19:57] <geirha> elli222: That'll delete the whole homefolder
[19:57] <carpii> well, itll delete everything in the directory youre currently in
[19:57] <idril_> hi
[19:58] <qr> JuJuBee: you can do something like 'find . -name .*' ... play around with that until it lists the files you want to kill and then pipe it into xargs rm -rf
[19:58] <carpii> probably better not to use rm -r if youre getting results from find anyway
[19:58] <geirha> JuJuBee: I believe "rm .[^.]*" should do it, add a -r to also remove directories.
[19:58] <unop> qr, you must quote .* there otherwise the shell will expand the glob
[19:58] <carpii> just rm -f
[19:58] <JuJuBee> Or I could simply move evrything not starting with a . to a new folder outside and then remove the users folder...
[19:59] <chase__> anybody know how i can get php4 on 9.04?
[19:59] <geirha> JuJuBee: Yes, that would be safer. mv .[^.]* /some/other/dir
[19:59] <idril_> I need some help with the nvidia driver 185 on ubuntu  please
[19:59] <carpii> case, compile it maybe?  why would you want v4 ?
[20:00] <chase__> well this program (e-commerce store designer) that I want runs on v4
[20:00] <unop> geirha,  it turns out that rm doesn't delete . and .. in the newer coreutils
[20:00] <Quacktop> anyone?
[20:00] <carpii> and wont run on v5 ?
[20:00] <chase__> idk, but I would rather run it on v4 as apposed to having to mess with incapatabliltiys
[20:01] <elli222> Hello, resuming after a suspend remounts my root filesystem Read only. How can i fix this?
[20:01] <JuJuBee> geirha:  mv: cannot stat `.[^.]*': No such file or directory
[20:01] <geirha> unop: Ah, that's good to know
[20:01] <unop> JuJuBee,  shopt -s nullglob  # first
[20:01] <qr> JuJuBee: find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -name '.*' | xargs whateveryouwanttodo
[20:02] <geirha> elli222: Then your command wasn't dangerous after all. Sorry :)
[20:02] <geirha> JuJuBee: What shell are you using?
[20:02] <unop> qr,  err, that could be disastrous without  find .. -print0 and xargs -0
[20:02] <JuJuBee> geirha: bash
[20:02] <JuJuBee> ls

[20:16] <david__> I need help installing an nvidia driver it is a .run file I am using Ubuntu 9.04
[20:17] <funkycat90210> i upgraded to the latest ubuntu and my end key no long works and this: xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Multi_key" no longer works. Anyone know why?
[20:18] <cody_> hi
[20:18] <scott_ino__> david__:  do you have a specific reason why you aren't just using the nvidia drivers from synaptic?
[20:18] <chiques> When I watch a youtube video and I click on full screen, firefox simply closes (I think crashes) anybody else encountered this?
[20:18] <david__> yeah I want to use dual monitor's and the one that came with wouldnt activate my second monitor
[20:19] <billybigrigger> chiques::: 32bit or 64bit?
[20:19] <scott_ino__> david__: well currently do you have it setup to use the proprietary graphics driver? or the NV driver?
[20:19] <chiques> billybigrigger, 32 bit
[20:19] <scott_ino__> as usually nvidia is pretty good about allowing second monitors
[20:19] <david__> and now my second monitor isnt even showing up anymore
[20:19] <lesshaste> how do you install the gnome network manager?
[20:19] <billybigrigger> chiques::: i have that problem in 64bit
[20:19] <david__> I dotn know what ever is default by installing
[20:20] <lesshaste> or whatever is the easiest way to get wireless working
[20:20] <billybigrigger> chiques::: blame ADOBE not canonical or ubuntu
[20:20] <cody_> cody
[20:20] <billybigrigger> lesshaste::: NM should already be installed
[20:20] <chiques> billybigrigger, Is it the flash plug in that might be crapping out?
[20:20] <scott_ino__> david__: try this first, go to System/Administration/Hardware drivers and see if it lists an Nvidia driver
[20:20] <lesshaste> billybigrigger: it was removed
[20:20] <lesshaste> billybigrigger: how do I reinstall it?
[20:20] <billybigrigger> chiques::: ya its the plugin
[20:20] <cody_> yo hi do you guys know anything about sarch linux
[20:21] <chiques> billybigrigger, OK, well I see if there is anything on the net about it. Thanks
[20:21] <cody_> arch linux
[20:21] <andruk> does the intel gma950 support 1680x1050 ?
[20:21] <billybigrigger> lesshaste::: kde or gnome?
[20:21] <billybigrigger> chiques::: np
[20:21] <lesshaste> gnome
[20:21] <lesshaste> billybigrigger: it's network-manager-gnome
[20:21] <billybigrigger> lesshaste::: yeah
[20:21] <billybigrigger> lesshaste::: exactly

[20:49] <Mike_lifeguard> If I want to backup my whole installation, what would be a good tool to use?
[20:49] <fedder> Dethroned: searh after restricted formats
[20:49] <deany> Dethroned, sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[20:49] <scott_ino> dethroned, install ubuntu-restricted-extras and it will install flash player
[20:50] <scott_ino> Dethroned: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:50] <deany> scott_ino, that installs a lot more than flash :)  Useful stuff nontheless
[20:51] <david__> Hey scott in Synaptic package manager it say's I have compiz but I cant find it
[20:51] <scott_ino> deany: yeah true, but it's the easiest, and most users probably need the other stuff anyway :0
[20:51] <Dethroned> scott_ino: it says resources temporarily unavailable
[20:51] <siwon> clt+h did nothing
[20:51] <deany> scott_ino, its as easy as adobe-flashplugin :)
[20:52] <Dethroned> scptt_ino:  it won't let me because it was unable to lock the download directory
[20:52] <scott_ino> deany: see I'm always lookin to the future when tey come back and ask about java, ttf, etc..
[20:52] <Orange_v_Blue> If I want to learn to code/develop for ubuntu, what language should I start with? I have some experience coding, just not recently enough to know a good language.
[20:52] <deany> scott_ino, its best imo to only install whats needed.
[20:53] <joekarl> Orange_v_Blue, I'd start with some python
[20:53] <JC_Denton_> trying to run ap-get upgrade / update-manager http://pastebin.com/dbc38f5c
[20:53] <JC_Denton_> but ubuntu doesn't update any longer
[20:53] <deany> scott_ino, well he has 2 ways of installing it now, its upto him :)
[20:53] <scott_ino> deany: lol i suppose so
[20:54] <Orange_v_Blue> joekarl: Have a favorite book/instruction manual? I've got a few around, but I thought I'd ask
[20:55] <mkiefer> any experience with an upgrade from hardy eee edition to jaunty on an eee 900a?
[20:55] <jelly-bean> anyone know why my vnc keyboard mapping has screwed up since i upgraded from intrepid to jaunty?
[20:56] <joekarl> Orange_v_Blue, not for python, I've only dabbled with it, other choice would be c or c++,
[20:56] <JC_Denton_> Orange_v_Blue: If you like managed languages, check out Mono
[20:57] <nick2paris> hey !
[20:57] <nick2paris> what is the best dock for ubuntu?
[20:57] <JC_Denton_> trying to update but unable to: unable to create `./usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Algiers': Read-only file system
[20:58] <nick2paris>  what is the best dock for ubuntu?
[20:59] <Advance> Hey I'm having trouble with minicom if anyone can help me
[20:59] <__frott__25_> bonjour à tous
[20:59] <Viper550> nick2paris, avant?
[20:59] <Viper550> __frott__25_,  #ubuntu-fr ?
[20:59] <Advance> Please for great justice i need help
[20:59] <fccf> you will just have to edit it back together
[21:00] <Advance> nvm
[21:00] <fccf> I thought this was recorded until I looked at the studio clock behind Abby's head
[21:00] <Orange_v_Blue> joekarl, JC_Denton_: It's been years since I coded, and that was just Basic and VB. I was really good at that, but like I said, mostly useless languages, many years ago.
[21:00] <nick2paris> no good dock for ubuntu?
[21:00] <nick2paris> avant is good?
[21:00] <fccf> sorry wrong channel
[21:01] <JC_Denton_> If you liked VB you'll like Mono which is an implementation of C# which has Java like syntax, Orange_v_Blue
[21:01] <Myrtti> nick2paris: avant or cairo-dock
[21:01] <JC_Denton_> Though there is VB.net support you're better off learning C#/Mono
[21:01] <gruppo>  irc.darksin.it
[21:01] <nick2paris> Myrtti: thx
[21:01] <rish> NEED HELP NO SOUND IN DELL STUDIO
[21:01] <gruppo>  /server irc.darksin.it
[21:01] <Orange_v_Blue> JC_Denton_, joekarl: where can I start with those? Text editor/scite?
[21:02] <joekarl> Orange_v_blue, JC_Denton, Mono is nice, but the documentation is pretty terrible compared to something like python
[21:02] <kaie2> kaie, could you please switch to a different nickname? I had registered it much before, and I'll reclaim it now using nickserv. Thank you
[21:02] <Myrtti> !caps | rish

[21:02] <wolfgang> has anyone here tried to set up eve online or WoW on ubuntu?
[21:03] <joekarl> Orange_v_blue, JC_Denton, if you can get around in the shell then you just need vim or nano and a compiler
[21:03] <gartral> how do I make apt-get go back a release of a program?
[21:03] <rish> @gartal: use apt-don't get :)

[21:04] <Dr_Willis> !pin | gartral
[21:04] <Orange_v_Blue> joekarl: where can I get a compiler, then? or do I have one already and don't know it?
[21:04] <steffen> hi how kann i download an VOB Codec?
[21:04] <Dr_Willis> steffen:  i think one needs the decss stuff same as for dvd playback
[21:04] <effie_jayx> cankoy: fixed just a package from a ppa complaining about perl
[21:04] <Dr_Willis> !dvd | steffen
[21:05] <joekarl> Orange_v_blue, which language are you looking at?
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> steffen:  vlc might be able to play them also with no extra codecs
[21:06] <Orange_v_Blue> joekarl: I'm not sure yet, right now I'm digging up lots of, well, wiki pages
[21:06] <fretegi> anyone help me on a command syntax ??
[21:06] <joekarl> Orange_v_blue, ah, ok, well the internet is your friend, you should be able to find any of the compilers in the ubuntu repositories
[21:06] <rish> dell studio, jaunty. no sound coming. Can u help?

[21:07] <joekarl> Orange_v_blue, g++ for c or c++, the compiler comes with python and mono

[21:08] <Orange_v_Blue> rish: just wait, or try later, or google something like "ubuntu 9.04 no sound". being obnoxious will not really help your cause.

[21:14] <scott_ino> david__: yes?
[21:14] <david__> my video setting's wont save to the xorg.config file
[21:15] <david__> say's unable to create new X config backup file '/ect/X11/xorg.config.backup'

[21:16] <chrones> Hello all I have a problem, I recently downgraded from ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 to Ubuntu hardy 8.04 and I am seeing a decrease in performance. The reason why I went to hardy was because I wanted Proprietary driver support for my ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
[21:16] <chrones> Any ideas?
[21:16] <fedder> Is it possible to remove the raid flag of a partition?
[21:16] <Lathund> david__: use gksudo, or just sudo if your using a Nano or Vim.
[21:17] <dajhorn> fedder: Change the partition type to something that isn't RAID and reformat.
[21:17] <SamCroft> what is the terminal program or command to manager my wireless card
[21:17] <david__> ?
[21:17]  * ninjaai all must see "the arrivals" on youtube!!! to know the truth of whats happening on this world!
[21:17] <SamCroft> The default network manager that comes with ubuntu is horrible
[21:17] <fedder> dajhorn: Problem is that I'd prefer to keep the data on the partition.
[21:17] <CSSnub> How do I specify a non-standard port to connect to with ssh?
[21:17] <Lathund> david__: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:18] <CSSnub> ssh localhost:1234 is what I had assumed... no luck
[21:18] <dajhorn> fedder: You can't easily do that.  Backup and restore instead.
[21:18] <david__> now what?
[21:18] <spenser> cssnub it's ssh -p 1234 host
[21:18] <ARMENIAN> how can I get the bdaddress of a bluetooth headset?
[21:18] <SamCroft> what network manager do you all use?
[21:18] <fedder> dajhorn: Isn't it possible to get my new Ubuntu install to recognize the raid partition ?
[21:18] <ninjaai> hello i need help here :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/194597/
[21:19] <CSSnub> ty spenser
[21:19] <Lathund> david__: Make the chanhes and save the file. I dont know what youre trying to do, I just came in.
[21:19] <Lathund> changes*
[21:19] <dajhorn> fedder: Yes, but you asked whether you could convert the RAID volume.
[21:19] <david__> I setup my 2 monitor's and iot wont save to xorg.config
[21:19] <fedder> dajhorn: Sorry for not being specific...
[21:19] <david__> and I am total newb to linux
[21:20] <david__> so I have no idea what to put in here
[21:20] <fretegi> how do i copy files from a flash drive in terminal?
[21:20] <fretegi> <--- stupid newbie
[21:20] <fedder> dajhorn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/194602/
[21:20] <spenser> David what kind of videocard do you have and which version of ubuntu
[21:21] <david__> ubuntu 9.04 nvidia gforce 8400 gs
[21:21] <Mike_lifeguard> Anyone have suggestions for software to backup a whole system?
[21:21] <scott_ino> Mike_lifeguard: yes Clonezilla
[21:21] <scott_ino> spenser... he used the nvidia display configuration to add his second monitor
[21:21] <chrones> Hello all I have a problem, I recently downgraded from ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 to Ubuntu hardy 8.04 and I am seeing a decrease in performance. The reason why I went to hardy was because I wanted Proprietary driver support for my ATi Radeon 9800 Pro. Any ideas?
[21:21] <spenser> did you install the propritaru nvidia drivers
[21:21] <dajhorn> fedder: If the RAID volume was anything but RAID-1, then it is broken.
[21:21] <scott_ino> i'll assist in a sec
[21:22] <khazil> . Any
[21:22] <david__> yeah version 180
[21:22] <khazil>                  ideas?
[21:22] <scott_ino> spenser: yeah he installed those and used nvidia dispay configuration to add second monitor
[21:22] <khazil> oops
[21:22] <MaT-dg> how can I start a second X-session?
[21:22] <scott_ino> i'll brb
[21:22] <fedder> dajhorn: It was RAID-1
[21:22] <Lathund> david__: Oh, I just asumed you where in the xorg.conf yourself. Where you using the nvidia-settings?
[21:22] <ninjaai> :(
[21:22] <spenser> david use sudo nvidia-settings to configure the monitors
[21:22] <fretegi> anyone able to help with a simple command sybtax
[21:22] <dajhorn> fedder: You may get luck with that mount command if you change the partition type from FD to 82 with a utility like cfdisk, but you could also destroy data.
[21:22] <ARMENIAN> why is it that when i do hcitool scan only my phones are showing up, not my headsets?
[21:22] <fretegi> syntax?
[21:22] <david__> yeah I was setting up my monitor's and then tried "save to X configuration file" and it wont work
[21:23] <dajhorn> fedder: A  better way would be to use mdadm to bring up the RAID-1 volume in degraded mode, and then mount the /dev/md0 node.
[21:23] <scott_ino> spenser: ahh is that just a permissions issue with not being able to save from nvidia-settings? if so how has somebody not filed a feature request to just prompt for the administrative password
[21:23] <spenser> David it won't let you save unless you started nv settings with sudo
[21:24] <david__> oh how do I do that?
[21:24] <fedder> dajhorn: Thanks a bundle. I've forgotten about that. I configured that software raid a couple of years ago and never thought about it until the box died...
[21:24] <dominik> I just installed 8.04 and it is not detecting my network cards wich are Intell Dual 82574L GigaBit
[21:24] <spenser> Scott_Ino: that's a good idea fill the bug on lp
[21:24] <dajhorn> ninjaai: You've got mistakes in the /etc/fstab file.
[21:25] <scott_ino> spenser: doing that now :0
[21:25] <fretegi> anyone help with a command syntax?? in terminal?
[21:25] <gunavara> hi rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(635) [receiver=3.0.3]  why is that showing to me ?
[21:25] <fretegi> its a quick one :)
[21:25] <lstarnes> fretegi: what command?
[21:25] <T0aster> Welcome StrangeCharm! You have achieved a new peak of 1517 users for #UBUNTU!
[21:25] <dajhorn> ninjaai: Pastebin your /etc/fstab file.
[21:25] <spenser> David: open a terminal type sudo nvidia-settings then try again
[21:25] <scott_ino> but is nvidia-settings package even maintained by ubuntu or where should i file?
[21:25] <scott_ino> I'll go ahead and file there i suppose..
[21:26] <ninjaai> dajhorn i have to boot with live cd first ?
[21:26] <david__> WOW great thank's now I wont have to reset everytime I reboot
[21:26] <spenser> Scott_UNO just file on lp
[21:26] <david__> brb gonna reboot and test it out
[21:26] <spenser> sorry I need to go I'm doing this on an iPhone
[21:26] <dajhorn> ninjaai: Yes, probably.  If you don't have /dev or /proc then it will be difficult to fix.
[21:28] <dominik> I have a Intell Dual 82574L Gigabit network adapter that Ubuntu 8.04 is NOT detecting, ifconfig only shows loopback. Please Help any suggestions appreciated
[21:28] <ninjaai> dajhorn ok i am booting
[21:29] <lifecurbed> after not having used ubuntu since version 7, 9.10 is fairly awesome :D i can't believe i've been away from it for so long
[21:30] <david__> you guy's are great to us newb's now my video setting's are right where I wanted them tyvm
[21:30] <lstarnes> lifecurbed: 7.04 or 7.10?
[21:30] <fedder> dajhorn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/194606/ :-)
[21:32] <dajhorn> fedder: modprobe raid1
[21:32] <oleg> добрый вечер всем
[21:32] <CSSnub> So I have an ssh user bob and the only thing he can see is /home/bob. Now I want him to have access to a samba share as well so I "mount -t smbfs //OtherBox/Share /home/bob" right?
[21:32] <dajhorn> fedder: mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 missing /dev/sdb3
[21:32] <CSSnub> Am I misunderstanding the purpose of mount here?
[21:32] <scott_ino> spenser: it appears to be an already filed bug from hardy : (
[21:32] <scott_ino> still not resolved i suppose
[21:33] <oleg> hi people
[21:33] <david__> hi
[21:34] <oleg> what's going on here?))
[21:34] <geronimo9> CSSnub don't mount the samba share to /home/bob but maybe to /home/bob/smbshare or something
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> CSSnub:  theres also a lot of little things to watch out for when using samba. its a rather complex sysetm that most people just scratch the surface of.
[21:34] <dominik> please help ethernet device is not detected by ubuntu
[21:34] <lifecurbed> lstarnes: 7.10 was the last desktop version I've tested. Generally I've dealt with centOS & hp-ux at work. this 9.10 desktop is quite beautiful though so Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
[21:35] <scunizi> Is anyone aware of a "class scheduling" program in the repos? either gnome or kde based?
[21:35] <CSSnub> OK - so to be clear I would use mount to create a link between a physical drive and a location in the filesystem. I could mount that same samba share for all 5 users in their specific home directories right?
[21:35] <CSSnub> Dr_Willis - security risk then? setting it up with ssh this way?
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> CSSnub:  mount 'mounts' a file system . dont use the term link. :) thats somthing else.
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> CSSnub:  you proberly want to  mount the share to someplace like /media/sharename for all users to find it. would be easier.
[21:36] <CSSnub> So how would I allow them to access that directory then?
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> CSSnub:  then you could 'link' that /media/sharename to their own home/subdirs if you wanted.
[21:36] <gjperez> Does anybody know of a distro agnostinc tutorial on how to make an installable livecd based on an existing system?
[21:36] <Hajuu> Impossible..
[21:36] <fedder> dajhorn: Sorry for being such a noop, but I must be doing something wrong here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/194610/
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> CSSnub:  they access like they do any other directory. It dosent have tobe in their home dirs
[21:37] <CSSnub> oh... ok
[21:37] <halberd> what's a good dictionary program?
[21:38] <CSSnub> does this mean they can access any of the files on this system?
[21:38] <dajhorn> fedder:  Try it without the "missing" keyword.
[21:38] <CSSnub> I really only want them to be able to get to media/share
[21:38] <fedder> dajhorn: That's what I did in line 5
[21:38] <dajhorn> fedder:  mdadm --force --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb3
[21:39] <jophish> can anyone recommend a good video encoder
[21:39] <lifecurbed> gnome notifications - I'm currently using ubuntu 9.10 x64 and I was trying to find the best way to have growl-esque notifications when using pidgin, firefox, etc. I've tried mumbles, but it doesn't seem to work properly on ubuntu x64.
[21:39] <CSSnub> I obviously have a lot of questions - can you point me to some mans to read or something? About setting up user accounts and permissions/access?
[21:39] <rainwalker> if my wireless card works with 32-bit Ubuntu, it should work wtih 64-bit, right?
[21:39] <fedder> dajhorn: mdadm: --assemble would set mdadm mode to "assemble", but it is already set to "manage"
[21:39] <Jeruvy> !karmic | lifecurbed
[21:40] <xcdfgkjhgcv> I've set up Samba on both of my machines but my machines can only detect and mount local shares. I can't share files between machines.
[21:40] <dajhorn> fedder: What does mdadm --version say?   And how old is the RAID volume?
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> CSSnub:  linux has permissions on files/dirs that limit what users can do.
[21:40] <dominik> how can I
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> CSSnub:  and theres 100000s of google hits on linux fundamental/tutoials/docs :)
[21:40] <dominik> sorry, how can I diagnose my hardware, especially network connections, if the ehternet is not recognized
[21:41] <libtech> xcdfgkjhgcv: trying typing smb://<ip address of machine>
[21:41] <fedder> dajhorn: mdadm - v<IP_ADDRESS> - 15th October 2008
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> xcdfgkjhgcv:  make sure their workgroups are the same.. and i often set up the /etc/hosts file with the static ip of the remote box's
[21:41] <renagadex> I cant run Tremulous, it wont start
[21:41] <fedder> I created the volume back in 2007 with OpenSUSE 10.3
[21:41] <xcdfgkjhgcv> Dr_Willis: How do I find out the workgroups?
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> xcdfgkjhgcv:  with the nautilus browser i often have to type in the FULL path to the share also. the browsing feature is often not working right (or the shares are not set to be browseable)
[21:41] <xcdfgkjhgcv> Dr_Willis: But that's GAY!
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> xcdfgkjhgcv:  its in /etc/samba/smb.conf  You did instgall the full samba package on both machines?
[21:42] <xcdfgkjhgcv> Dr_Willis: I want to browse them.
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> xcdfgkjhgcv:  whatever.....
[21:42] <xcdfgkjhgcv> Dr_Willis: Yes.
[21:42] <fedder> dajhorn: Hmm. That was on 32bit opensuse 10.3, now I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 in x86_64...
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> xcdfgkjhgcv:  enter full path once.. tell it to rember password... it never has a problem for me after that.
[21:42] <fedder> Naaah, that couldn't be it...
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> xcdfgkjhgcv:  or mount them somewhere via fstab
[21:42] <dajhorn> fedder: The order of arguments may matter. Try mdadm `--assemble --force`.  The man page for that version says that assembly mode can be forced.
[21:42] <renagadex> I cant run Tremulous, it wont start
[21:42] <fedder> dajhorn: I was actually just looking at that
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> tremulous always make me so dizzy i puke. :)
[21:43] <istvan_> I just installed updates (the pre-release ones) and restarted. now firefox has no javascript, and my panel tools are broken. waht is going on?
[21:43] <libtech> when i try to access shares on my windows machine, it doesnt work to simply click the network button, i have to type into the browser smb://<IP_ADDRESS>
[21:43] <dajhorn> fedder:  I'm pretty sure that you shoudn't be getting the superblock error when the examine results show a superblock.
[21:44] <dominik> please help me connect my ubuntu machine 8.04 to the internet, ETHERNET adapter is not recognized
[21:44] <xcdfgkjhgcv> I accidentally turned off Wi-Fi. ><
[21:44] <dajhorn> fedder: If this disk has important data, then you should make a raw "dd" style backup before doing anything else.
[21:45] <fedder> dajhorn: I've got the data backed up. It is just cumbersome to transfer 400GB.. Thanks for the help though
[21:45] <Skylight> is there someone who likes to install apache and php for me :blush:"
[21:46] <lifecurbed> dominik: please explain your situation, are you using an onboard card? if no, what make and model is the card?
[21:46] <dominik> skylight it is an onboard intel dual 82574L gigabit adapter and ifconfig only shows the loopback, nothing else
[21:46] <cweilema> Anyone tried to "xlock" multiple xwindows instances on the same LAN with one command?  Or know of a utility that would accomplish this?
[21:46] <dominik> skylight the hardware lights are flashing by the way
[21:47] <Skylight> wtf ? ;

[21:48] <RalphSpencer> Hmm hold on will try thanks

[21:49] <dus> hi
[21:49] <libtech> tpresa: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre?
[21:49] <istvan_> how do I do a re-install with apt from the terminal?
[21:50] <linxeh> max__14: there is no pacakge called pygame in your configured repositories
[21:50] <dragoon> Anyone have an idea why port forwarding's not working? iptables seems fine, ip_forward is on, logs+conf at http://pastebin.com/d385f5a0c
[21:50] <max__14> linxeh:  so how do I get it there?
[21:50] <dragoon> max__14, aptitude search game reveals python-pygame
[21:50] <linxeh> max__14: try apt-get install python-pygame
[21:50] <max__14> ok
[21:50] <linxeh> or probably better, use aptitude
[21:50] <cweilema> Is remote xlock of a computer even possible?  Or ia there another (better) way to secure an X session remote?
[21:51] <dragoon> diffred, /var/log/apache2/ has the apache2 log files
[21:51] <tpresa> libtech it prompts for licensing and stuff.
[21:51] <max__14> linxeh:  It seems to be working. thanks

[21:51] <elena09> do you know a good program for typping math with oppen office in ubuntu 9.04?
[21:52] <dominik> lifecurbed sorry I was explaining my situation to the wrong nick, I have a Intell Dual 82574L gigabit ethernet adapter onboard that Ubuntu is not recognizing (it doesnt even exist(
[21:52] <linxeh> elena09: latex ;-)
[21:52] <tyric1> where do I put new headers and libraries in ubuntu?
[21:52] <dominik> lifecurbed also the lights on the hardware are blincking and ifconfig shows only the loopback
[21:52] <dominik> skylight thanks
[21:52] <heyheyhey> hello all is it better to use a sata hard drive or a ide hard drive?
[21:52] <cweilema> elena09: Agree, Latex is extremely powerful.
[21:53] <lifecurbed> dominik : which motherboard do you have?
[21:53] <fadiamid> k
[21:53] <elena09> cweilema: I want just to use something what you see is what you get, like MathType in Windows
[21:53] <dominik> lifecurbed its a supermicro x8sax or c7x58
[21:54] <elena09> cweilema: not latex
[21:54] <fadiamid> j'ai besion une bbw
[21:54] <dominik> lifecurbed its the c7x58
[21:54] <tyric1> heyheyhey: sata drives generally are faster and are less likely to have annoying drivers issues to deal with when installing an OS
[21:54] <alleyoopster> heyheyhey: sata are hot swap and can higher transfer rates
[21:54] <cweilema> elena09: There might be a plugin for OO that would so that utilizing Latex
[21:55] <heyheyhey> okay
[21:55] <adi1> hi all.  is there any plugin to make pidgin display music im hearing throught rhythmbox or totem in ubuntu?
[21:55] <lifecurbed> dominik : you should try compiling the driver from intel's website
[21:55] <m3gaman> by default, when you plug in a USB stick (thumbdrive) what is it's default mount location?
[21:55] <heyheyhey> so sata are better
[21:55] <cweilema> Elena09. Just a thought
[21:55] <linxeh> methylisocyanate: in /media
[21:55] <linxeh> err
[21:55] <heyheyhey> i smoked my ide
[21:55] <max_> Even though I have my time/date setting set to pH everything is still displaying time in 24hr format, not 12. How can i fix this?
[21:55] <linxeh> m3gaman: in /media
[21:55] <m3gaman> thanks
[21:55] <dominik> lifecurbed I did, nothing
[21:55] <m4rk> heyheyhey: too bad bro
[21:55] <m3gaman> linxeh: thanks
[21:55] <tyric1> heyheyhey: if it's an older system, you may have to stick with ide
[21:55] <heyheyhey> it does nothing but error out
[21:55] <dominik> lifecurbed they didn't have one specific for debian so I had to get the "linux" driver
[21:56] <alleyoopster> heyheyhey: sata are a newer standard and starting to replace ide which has been around a while now
[21:56] <heyheyhey> it a pentuim d
[21:56] <elena09> I don't need latex, I need wygwy
[21:56] <heyheyhey> 3.2
[21:56] <heyheyhey> ghz
[21:56] <dominik> elena09 all need latex
[21:56] <tyric1> heyheyhey: oh then your motherboard should support sata fine
[21:56] <mezquitale> is there a networking guru in the house?  Im trying to find out if multiple lines in /etc/network/interfaces, I need to add this to that file "auto rndis0"
[21:56] <heyheyhey> the mother board has 8 sata connections
[21:57] <elena09> I don't want any latex
[21:57] <elena09> I want a MathType like programm
[21:57] <istvan_> i installed ubuntu pre-release updates, which have killed much of my system
[21:57] <istvan_> ideas?
[21:57] <istvan_> can I roll back?
[21:58] <dominik> elena09 mathtype cant do what latex can do and it is 10000 times slower to write formulas in mathtype then it is in latex, you should consider it
[21:58] <ltcabral> what command to remove an user from a group?
[21:58] <heyheyhey> so sata is better runs faster or should i get a flash stick
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[21:58] <heyheyhey> they are even faster
[21:59] <libtech> heyheyhey: what are you talking about
[21:59] <elena09> dominik, i wrote hundreds of pages both in Latex and in Word with mathType I like MathType instead of memorizing commands in Latex
[21:59] <elena09> I have bad memory
[21:59] <dominik> elena09 int for integral I wouldnt consider that memorizing
[22:00] <neonflx> how can i make applications open on a specific monitor when using dual monitors i.e. laptop screen, and lcd monitor thanks
[22:00] <dragoon> ltcabral, usermod -G $(id -nG USER| sed -e ’s/GROUP //’ -e ’s/ /,/g’) USER
[22:00] <dominik> elena09 anyways why are you not useing word anymore?
[22:00] <heyheyhey> libtech they sell soild state hard drives would they be any better then sata
[22:00] <ltcabral> dragoon:  wath o.O
[22:00] <linxeh> elninja: I use a decent latex editor, but ok :)
[22:01] <cypha> can someone tell me how to connect to fics with xboard? i'm getting a "failed to start first chess program gnuchessx on localhost: gnuchessx: no such file or directory" error
[22:01] <libtech> heyheyhey: im not too sure, sata hard drives are plenty fast methinks
[22:01] <heyheyhey> okay
[22:01] <heyheyhey> i will use my 1tb sata then
[22:01] <linxeh> elninja: and our departmental standard is latex, so if I use something else I've got hours of fiddling to get a template together, and then manage the bibliography, and everthing else. its not worth it
[22:01] <libtech> heyheyhey: i dont know much about solid state except that they are expensive
[22:02] <dragoon> ltcabral, substitute the group to remove for GROUP and the user to remove from for USER. usermod can set your group membership, but it doesn't have a specific "remove me from this group"
[22:02] <dominik> libtech there seek times are insane
[22:02] <Viper550> okay, some guidance, can the installer resize ntfs partitions?
[22:02] <mezquitale> i want to add the following line to "/etc/networking/interfaces"----> "auto rndis0", should I create a new line or should I just add rndis0 to the line that's there for example "auto lo rndis0"
[22:02] <dominik> viper550 i belive not
[22:02] <mattubuntu> how do you get 3D drivers for linux?
[22:02] <dragoon> ltcabral, so that oneliner figures out what your group membership is and then adds you to every group but that
[22:03] <hubert_> cześć
[22:03] <dragoon> Viper550, resizing NTFS has worked for me fairly well in the past
[22:03] <mattubuntu> Hey guys, how do you get 3D drivers for linux?  i have onboard graphics, but still need drivers
[22:03] <dominik> mattubuntu what card
[22:03] <mattubuntu> it's intel extreme graphics 3D
[22:04] <toenail> does anyone know how to install Jack Audio through  Shell . apt-get ?
[22:04] <Hajuu> Impossible..
[22:04] <ltcabral> dragoon: thanks :)
[22:04] <qbrix> How can I mount a windows share folder?
[22:04] <dominik> mattubuntu intell probably has drivers for you if its a new card
[22:04] <mattubuntu> i've downloaded the drivers, but there not linux compatible
[22:04] <halberd> is there any point in the boot process when it can be said that "ubuntu has been started"
[22:04] <ctmjr> !intel|mattubuntu
[22:04] <halberd> like it can be said that there's a point when the kernel has been started
[22:05] <Viper550> cause my drive currently has fat32 recovery partition (which however isn't "needed" since we have CD's), and a ntfs partition
[22:05] <dominik> how can I force ubuntu to load a module
[22:05] <eyez> i need to apt-get install mysql-server in an unattended script, so i need it to not prompt me to set up the root password at install, can anyone tell me how?
[22:06] <outofthemadness> dominik: a kernel module? if so, try "sudo modprobe module_name"
[22:06] <lifecurbed> dominik: have you checked to see if your system is loading the driver? or if the device is currently up?
[22:06] <dominik> lifecurbed don't know how
[22:06] <dragoon> anyone have an idea why port forwarding isn't working? ip_forward is on, PREROUTING step looks fine
[22:06] <greg> hi guys can anyone help me with my ubuntu box - the hard drive is constantly clicking like somethings is being written / read.  only had the problem when i updated xorg drivers. any suggestions.
[22:07] <dominik> outofthemadness that doesn't do anything, problem remains
[22:07] <qbrix> if a drive is clicking, that's bad
[22:07] <qbrix> I'd replace it
[22:07] <lifecurbed> dominik: try a "modprobe -l |grep e1000e" or an "lspci" to see if your card's driver is being loaded, or if the device is currently available
[22:07] <max_> Hi. I'm having a problem. I cant change to 12hr time. I set that in time/date as 12hr format, and my clock is in 12hr format, but all my programs that look to that to see time/date are all in 24 hour format.
[22:07] <dominik> lifecurbed is that an l?
[22:08] <lifecurbed> dominik: I'm looking around the forums and such and it seems that you are definitely not the only person having a problem with this card, though most report that when installing intel's drivers that it in turn works fine for them
[22:08] <toenail> does anyone know how to install Jack Audio through  Shell . apt-get ?
[22:08] <Hajuu> Impossible..
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> !find jackd
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> !info jackd
[22:08] <max_> toenail: apt-get isntall jackd
[22:08] <lifecurbed> dominik: in both cases an l
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> apt-cache search is our friend... :)
[22:10] <toenail> do i have to do sudu before it , sorry i hagvent worked with ubuntu sense version 6
[22:10] <rainwalker> why does the restricted drivers manager list two versions of the nvidia driver (versions 180 and 173)?
[22:10] <toenail> so 3 or 4 years
[22:10] <lifecurbed> dominik: "modprobe -l | grep e1000e" - the parameter is an l, and the character that comes before the grep command is a pipe, but you might know that.
[22:10] <Hajuu> hey inside my chroot what apt packages should I install to get the whole set of core utils
[22:11] <ikonia> Hajuu: there is quite a few and it depends what you define as core utils
[22:11] <toenail> did the sudo but getting   ....E: Invalid operation isntall
[22:11] <lstarnes> toenail: what command are you using?
[22:11] <toenail> oh der nevermind
[22:11] <ikonia> Hajuu: (don't forget there is also a package called coreutils)
[22:11] <Mike_lifeguard> Is there any way to estimate how large the .tar.gz will be for a particular operation?
[22:11] <ikonia> Mike_lifeguard: no
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> Mike_lifeguard:  woule totally depend on what you are compressing
[22:12] <Hajuu> ah thats what I was after
[22:12] <ikonia> Mike_lifeguard: tar tvf will be best give an idea
[22:12] <Hajuu> thanks ikonia
[22:12] <ha1331_> any idea why I get frames with red artifacts, almost the whole frame red, but kind of like the flag that is waved at the end of car race, but red and transparent? I get them on random interval. This started today. Happens with SMPlayer and vlc player.
[22:12] <Hajuu> :)
[22:12] <toenail> i got it thanks
[22:12] <dominik> lifecurbed it shows that the driver is loaded
[22:12] <ibuclaw> rainwalker, for some users, only one or the other driver will work. Although as far as NViDIA is concerned, the 180 drivers are the current stable. 173 being old stable. (and 185 being the beta drivers).
[22:12] <dominik> lifecurbed actually it shows two one that I installed and the a e1000e ich9m.ko
[22:12] <Viper550> so can it resize?
[22:12] <rainwalker> ibuclaw: if I have a Quadro card, should I go with 180, then?
[22:13] <toenail> im ediotic . so it installed jack but how do i run i through the Gnu
[22:13] <ha1331_> The whole flag thing was to describe the fact, that the red artifats are same sized squares.
[22:13] <lifecurbed> dominik: ok - how about an "lspci | grep 82574"
[22:13] <ibuclaw> rainwalker, the 180 drivers are recommended.
[22:13] <dominik> lifecurbed shows two intel corporation 8257l connections
[22:13] <pw-toxic> hi - i have bought an INTEL SSD 80 GB and now i want to clone my partition (50GB
[22:14] <max_> Hi. I'm having a problem. I cant change to 12hr time. I set that in time/date as 12hr format, and my clock is in 12hr format, but all my programs that look to that to see time/date are all in 24 hour format.
[22:14] <pw-toxic> ) of my old HDD to my intel SSD .. because i dont want to reconfigure my ubuntu
[22:14] <pw-toxic> how do i do this?
[22:14] <lifecurbed> dominik: alright, so your modules are loaded, and the hardware is recognized by the OS. it's quite possibly a driver issue then
[22:14] <rainwalker> ibuclaw: alright, and you're sure the 185.xx versions are beta? I'm reading a thread on the forums that gives the impression they've been released
[22:15] <diffred> how do I convert .dvi or .ps into jpg?
[22:15] <Mike_lifeguard> Dr_Willis: I'm compressing my whole home dir -- is there a ballpark % reduction in size .gz achieves for such scenarios?
[22:15] <usser> rainwalker, just installed 185, they are released
[22:16] <rainwalker> usser: how is it?
[22:16] <ibuclaw> rainwalker, oh wow, I am behind the times :D
[22:16] <ibuclaw> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606
[22:16] <usser> Mike_lifeguard, depends on the files you store. videos and music dont compress well
[22:16] <ibuclaw> rainwalker, that thread should explain everything
[22:16] <usser> rainwalker, works alright, i havent had major issues with nvidia drivers since 170
[22:16] <rainwalker> ibuclaw: so is there a reason they aren't listed in the restricted drivers manager?
[22:17] <rainwalker> usser: better than 180? I want to get the most out of this 1 GB quadro
[22:17] <dominik> lifecurbed what if I unload the driver that came with ubuntu?
[22:17] <usser> rainwalker, the reason 185 is not in the repos is that its considered a major upgrade as opposed to a security fix major upgrades dont make it into repos
[22:17] <Mike_lifeguard> usser: yeah, actually, I'd like to exclude music, videos, my source code (which probably compresses well, but is stored elsewhere already), and my backups (of other machines)
[22:17] <ibuclaw> rainwalker, looks like the 185 official release is recent. I'd expect it'll be in the next release of Ubuntu (9.10).
[22:17] <usser> rainwalker, quadro uses special drivers as far as i know. it works with 180 right now??
[22:17] <Mike_lifeguard> usser: so the rest is just documents and all the .config_dirs
[22:18] <neonflx> how can i force apps to open on a specific monitor when using dual monitors, i read that it was a bug on jaunty, does anyone knows if there is a work around, thx
[22:18] <xemacs4321> help
[22:18] <rainwalker> usser: yeah, it works. I'm guessing google would show me the way to these special drivers you're talking about?
[22:18] <usser> Mike_lifeguard, tar has --exclude option
[22:19] <mcr> is libc6-xen considered obsolete in hardy+, or should it exist?
[22:19] <mcr> I'm getting: libc6-xen: PreDepends: libc6 (= 2.7-10ubuntu3) but 2.7-10ubuntu4 is to be installed
[22:19] <_user_> plz how to group desktop icons like kde in gnome
[22:19] <mcr> as I upgrade some scripts from feisty to lts.
[22:20] <usser> Mike_lifeguard, ie tar -cvf desk.tar /home/user --exclude /home/user/VMs /home/user/Videos /home/user/Music
[22:20] <Oriax> hi, i have a little question... i downloaded ubuntu from ubuntu.no, burned the cd and started installing. when the install was almost finished, a message came up saying something like "file error" and that i should try to burn the cd at a lower speed, so i did. but the problem was still there. any idea whats wrong?
[22:21] <_user_> plz how to group desktop icons like kde in gnome
[22:21] <Mike_lifeguard> usser: ok, cool
[22:21] <mcr> sounds like the cdrom didn't burn right.
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> Oriax:  did you check the md5sum of the iso file? redownload it? i always use unetbootin to just make a bootable flash drive from ISO file and insall from the flash drive (faster install that way also)
[22:21] <mcr> I suggest that you use the "verify CD" option in the boot menu before you try to install.
[22:22] <dom96> i have a question, how do i enable or even force v-sync because i get a lot of screen tear when i watch movies ?
[22:22] <Oriax> im, thanks dr willis, however i have no idea what you are talking about... im not too good with this stuff...
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> Oriax:  unetbootin is a tool that makes a bootable flash drive from a iso image file. i use it - and i dont have to burn cd's any more ;)
[22:23] <ctmjr> dom96, what video card do you use and driver?
[22:23] <Oriax> where do i download it from?
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> mcr:  also do what mcr said and verify the disk is good..
[22:23] <dom96> ctmjr, i use ati radeon 4670
[22:23] <guntbert> !md5sum | Oriax
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> Oriax:  google is our friend. ;) it has a sourceforge page
[22:23] <dom96> and i'm not sure which driver
[22:23] <dom96> how can i check ?
[22:23] <Oriax> hehe ok thanks
[22:24] <usser> Mike_lifeguard, my bad tar -cvf desk.tar /home/user --exclude "/home/user/VMs" --exclude "/home/usr/Videos"
[22:24] <dom96> ctmjr ?
[22:24] <usser> Mike_lifeguard, you have to prepend each excluded directory with --exclude
[22:24] <Mike_lifeguard> k
[22:25] <ctmjr> dom96, type this in terminal egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:25] <kebomix> what is ntfs-3g force mount command ?
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g
[22:25] <dom96> ctmjr:(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
[22:26] <dom96> that's what i got
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> kebomix:  you can use the ntfs-3g command with a 'force' option to forcce it to mount a ntfs filesytem
[22:27] <kebomix> Dr_Willis: thanks , can u write complete command 4 me , cuz one of my friends need it quickly ?
[22:27] <dom96> ctmjr:well ?
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> kebomix:  ntfs-3g --help    and see the format.. i forget it off hand. i rarely need it
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> kebomix:  use -o force as the option. i recall
[22:28] <dominik> im trying to unmount a module but it claims that it is not found but the same module is listed with modporbe -l
[22:28] <dom96> ctmjr:k i think i got the driver version, 8.6
[22:28] <MadsRH> How do I start two applications at the same time? I thought something like this might work, but it didn't: /home/mads/.CoverGloobus/CoverGloobus.py & banshee-1 --redirect-log --play-enqueued %U
[22:29] <lifecurbed> dominik: this issue seems to be alleviated in kernel 2.6.30.* so you might want to try upgrading to the newest kernel
[22:29] <dom96> ctmjr any ideas ?
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> MadsRH:   make a script is the easier way.  or use &&   but && only launches the 2nd IF the first command returns first/succesuffly
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> MadsRH:  or use  commanbd & ; othercommand &
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> oh wait that dont work. :)
[22:30] <dominik> lifecurbed I can't nvidea hasn't released cuda drivers for 9.04
[22:30] <dragoon> How do I port forward using iptables? iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 922 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:22 doesn't work.
[22:30] <max_> Hi. I'm having a problem. I cant change to 12hr time. I set that in time/date as 12hr format, and my clock is in 12hr format, but all my programs that look to that to see time/date are all in 24 hour format.
[22:30] <ctmjr> dom96, it is almost impossible to get tear free video with the fglrx driver you can try the radeon xorg driver but you will not have 3d
[22:31] <dominik> lifecurbed the lates version they have is 8.10, but I couldn't find that download so I got the 8.04
[22:31] <dominik> lifecurbed its lts
[22:31] <Oriax> i did the md5sum, and it said that the sums are the same. what now?
[22:31] <dom96> ctmjr are you sure, couse i've seen on forums, some kind of command that you can type into th terminal
[22:31] <dom96> but it doesn't work for me
[22:31] <neonflx> how can i force apps to open on a specific monitor when using dual monitors, i read that it was a bug on jaunty, does anyone knows if there is a work around, thx
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> neonflx:  using ati or nvidia or other card?
[22:32] <ford> hey all basic question. What is the command to find out what video cards you have in terminal
[22:32] <neonflx> nvidia
[22:32] <neonflx> with the 185 drivers
[22:32] <nours> lspci | grep video
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> neonflx:  i recall at one time using  'DISPLAY=0.1 funnycommand'
[22:32] <dh003i> can someone please help me with this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7446719#post7446719
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> neonflx:  ive never noticed any bug with the stuff.. my apps seem to rember what desktop/side they ere on :)
[22:33] <dom96> ctmjr sudo aticonfig --sync-vsync=on
[22:33] <nours> lspci  | grep VGA sry
[22:33] <dom96> that's the one
[22:33] <guntbert> Oriax: next step would be: burn at lower speed, the boot from the CD and select "check integrity...)
[22:33] <guntbert> *then boot...
[22:33] <neonflx> i can run a command on the screen by using alt+f2 the using bash -c "command" and it works but it is a pain
[22:33] <Oriax> yeah, i burnt from the slowest speed, and yet i have a problem...
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> neonflx:  you just totally lost me....
[22:33] <ford> cool thanks
[22:34] <dh003i> in KDE, neither of my keyboards (Northgate Omnikey via PS/2 or MS Natural via USB) work when I login with account 1, but they do work with my other user-name...what's going on?
[22:34] <ford> also another quick question if i wanted to get my second video card working would i need to remove the other from the pc or can i just duplicate that part of the xorg.conf
[22:34] <guntbert> Oriax: then please from the menu choose "check..."
[22:34] <ctmjr> dom96,you can ask in the #ati channel i do not use the fglrx driver for that reason
[22:34] <rock3> I am having an issue with my ubuntu server.  I am new to linux and ubuntu.  Can anyone help?
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> dh003i:  sounds like somne weird/confused setting in account 1. Not sure what one.  You could clear out all the kde settings i guess...\
[22:34] <neonflx> Dr_Willis: on whatever screem i'm in either the laptop or the lcd i can use alt+f2 to run a command of the app i want if i use the bash -c plus whatever command the app will open on the screen i'm in, i got that from the ubuntu forums
[22:35] <nours> ford, duplicate should work but I ve never tried
[22:35] <dom96> ctmjr i guess i'll try the xorg driver
[22:35] <dh003i> Dr_Willis: yea, I don't like that option...then I lose my arrangement of icons in the menu, right?
[22:35] <lifecurbed> dominik: you can still upgrade the kernel. check this forum post for information on upgrading your kernel - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85917
[22:35] <ford> nours do i duplicate the whole file or just the device section?
[22:36] <dh003i> Dr_Willis: I mean, I'd lose my KDE favorites, in the KDE menu...and any other settings in the account
[22:36] <dom96> ctmjr will i still be able to go back to fglrx ?
[22:36] <Harryy> Okay, hi. Well, I have an ubuntu livecd, it is not corrupt, and neither is my memory. I go to install it, and I get "usr bin ubiquality-dm line 208 line 114 x server exited with return code str(status) return code 1." (an error similar to that).
[22:36] <Harryy> After about a few minutes, it opens just a blank terminal like what happens when you SSH into a box. What command should I run to get my Ubuntu working? The box is a Dell Dimension 2400, if that is relevant information.
[22:36] <neonflx> i'm using separate x screens laptop screen + lcd screen, i usually close the laptop so only use the big lcd some apps however when i try to open them will defult to the laptop screen wich i then have to open to see it
[22:36] <dominik> lifecurbed thanks
[22:36] <mattopp> leaving
[22:36] <nours> ford, honnestly don't know
[22:36] <lifecurbed> dominik: if you're running the 64bit version, that guide doesn't entirely apply, but it's a good start. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out from there
[22:37] <ford> well here goes just the device section lol will log back in and tell you what happened
[22:37] <ford> providing my system reboots
[22:37] <dominik> lifecurbed how can I get the kernal if I can't do sudo apt-get cause I have no internet?
[22:37] <ctmjr> dom96,you need to remove it to use the xorg driver but if you do not like it you can reinstall the fglrx driver
[22:38] <dom96> ctmjr thanks a lot i'll ask the people on #ati first and see what they think
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> dh003i:  figure out what settinjgs are what and save tghe files i guess..
[22:38] <ctmjr> dom96, that would be best as i said i gave up on it so maybe they fixed it.
[22:38] <lifecurbed> dominik: you could download the 9.10 dvd iso, burn it, and add it as a source in your System -> Software Sources
[22:38] <dom96> ctmjr, ok thanks a lot
[22:39] <lifecurbed> dominik: 2.6.30 is included in ubuntu 9.10
[22:39] <delta9> oi
[22:39] <dominik> lifecurbed why are the drivers not competible anyways?
[22:40] <lifecurbed> dominik: I think it has something to do with the old drivers not having device ID's for your card, as it is too new
[22:40] <dkg> Hi. Is there an alternative to pcdj or traktor for ubuntu?
[22:40] <dominik> lifecurbed no I ment my cuda drivers they are only out for 8.10 why would they not work on 9.04?
[22:40] <elli222> Resuming after a suspend remounts my root filesystem Read only. How can i fix this?
[22:40] <dominik> or 9.10?
[22:40] <lifecurbed> dominik: this doesn't explain why your new drivers that you installed from intel don't work on your machine
[22:40] <ford> nours no dice man....
[22:41] <whozatmac> what became of xfce4-menueditor in jaunty?
[22:41] <lifecurbed> dominik: cuda drivers - I donno, I haven't really been keeping up. I was just referring to your ethernet drivers
[22:41] <Dr_Willis> !find xfce4-menueditor
[22:41] <Sniper606> Does anyone know if there is a way to make the thunar file manager's background transparent in XFCE on xubuntu 9.04?
[22:42] <lifecurbed> dominik: "nic" drivers. sorry.
[22:42] <dominik> lifecurbed but I was specifically wondering why drivers that work for 8.04 dont't work for 9.04
[22:42] <Skylight> some1 is known with apache and php ?
[22:43] <dominik> lifecurbed by the way centos has the drivers working
[22:43] <dominik> lifecurbed just fyi
[22:44] <nours> Skylight, yes what is the question?
[22:44] <whozatmac> I have all those xfce packages installed, but the program (and any way to access it from the GUI, are gone. as if the whole menu editor was removed from xfce 4.6
[22:44] <dkg> Is there any (free) software available in Jaunty that can play multiple audio files simultaneously to different sound cards with the ability to change the playback speed in "realtime"?  (a simplified pcdj or traktor)
[22:44] <Skylight> could u fix that ? http://trac.utorrent.com/trac/wiki/Webui-Shell
[22:44] <mcr> dkg, do you need change the speed with a key?
[22:44] <mcr> or with cmdline?
[22:45] <Skylight> nours can i pm u ?
[22:45] <dkg> mcr: mouse or key (I assume you mean key as in keyboard and not the musical term..?)
[22:45] <Harryy> Okay, hi. Well, I have an Ubuntu livecd, it is not corrupt, and neither is my memory. I go to install it, and I get "/usr/bin/ubiquality-dm line 208 [and] line 114 XServer exited with return code str(status) return code 1." (an error similar to that).
[22:45] <Harryy> After about a few minutes, it opens just a blank terminal like what happens when you SSH into a box. What command should I run to get my Ubuntu working? The box is a Dell Dimension 2400, if that is relevant information. Someone help me please :)
[22:45] <bambu> hi. how do i set my desktop wallpaper as a solid black plain background? i can only seem to choose from a few images
[22:46] <dominik> lifecurbed I can't find the dvd iso for 9.10 they are all cd images alternative installs
[22:46] <lifecurbed> dominik: you still there - i just found this which might be of some help
[22:46] <dom96> bambu, just make a black image
[22:46] <nours> Skylight, let's go :)
[22:46] <dom96> and set it as your desktop background
[22:46] <mcr> dkg, yeah, interactively, vs on a command line.
[22:46] <dom96> *desktop wallpaper
[22:46] <lifecurbed> dominik: try removing the module from the kernel by doing a "sudo rmmod e1000e"
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> err.. gnome has a thing to set a solid color
[22:47] <bambu> i created a black image on office drawing, but it wouldnt work
[22:47] <dkg> mcr: vs?
[22:47] <dominik> lifecurbed crap I shutdown, give me a min
[22:47] <bambu> do i have to create with a certain program?
[22:47] <lifecurbed> dominik: follow that by adding it again with - "modprobe e1000e"
[22:47] <dom96> not really as long as it's jpg or png
[22:47] <dom96> but as dr willis is saying
[22:47] <dom96> i think gnome does have an option like that
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> bambu:  in the gnome wallpaper settingds pick the first image, then select the color at the bottom of the dialog.
[22:47] <geronimo9> bambu you should have an option of no background image...it appears brown
[22:47] <max_> Hi. I'm having a problem. I cant change to 12hr time. I set that in time/date as 12hr format, and my clock is in 12hr format, but all my programs that look to that to see time/date are all in 24 hour format.
[22:47] <usser> bambu, you can change the wallpapers from image to solid color. its in the appearance settings somewhere
[22:48] <mcr> most of the tools, sox, mpg123, etc. will take an argument to adjust the playback speed, but they don't let you change that during the playback.
[22:48] <geronimo9> bambu ...then change the colors option to black
[22:48] <dominik> lifecurbed thanks ill try in a sec
[22:49]  * Dr_Willis wonders who added the fancy 'fade to the new background effect' in gnome...
[22:49] <dkg> mcr: I'm looking for something that can change the speed during playback and allows me to "crossfade" the tracks between sound cards
[22:49] <mcr> I get it...
[22:49] <mcr> I don't know of a tool, but I'm not clueful about such things.
[22:49] <rainwalker> Dr_Willis: I hate that effect, it doesn't work smoothly or quickly on my computer
[22:50] <bambu> ok got it. i got confused cuz i thought brown wallpaper was an image just like the rest and when my wallpaper was set as an image and i messed with the color part, it didnt do anything
[22:50] <dkg> mcr: Thankyou for your time all the same.  I'll keep googling.
[22:50] <crawler> hello.  does anyone know if there is a way to execute a key combination at system startup?  for example <Super>+F3 or <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F8?
[22:51] <antii> safe to use ext4 on my systemdrive?
[22:51] <billybigrigger> dkg::: have you tried asking around in #ubuntu-studio?
[22:51] <dominik> lifecurbed its not loaded after restart atleast it says it doesnt exist
[22:51] <billybigrigger> crawler::: start-up programs? or write a script?
[22:51] <dkg> billybigrigger: It didn't cross my mind.  Thanks for the advice : )
[22:51] <hvgotcodes> im on 8.10, for some reason when i  start firefox, it is maximized with no window decorations and cant be resized
[22:52] <dominik> lifecurbed but when I modprobe -l then it shows it
[22:52] <crawler> billybigrigger: ithanks, i've looked into basic script writing, but have no idea how to make it execute a key combination :/
[22:53] <Harryy> Okay, hi. Well, I have an Ubuntu livecd, it is not corrupt, and neither is my memory. I go to install it, and I get "/usr/bin/ubiquality-dm line 208 [and] line 114 XServer exited with return code str(status) return code 1." (an error similar to that).
[22:53] <Harryy> After about a few minutes, it opens just a blank terminal like what happens when you SSH into a box. What command should I run to get my Ubuntu working? The box is a Dell Dimension 2400, if that is relevant information. Someone help me please :)
[22:53] <billybigrigger> crawler::: what does the key combo execute?
[22:53] <tux>  q\
[22:53] <crawler> it executes the snow effect for compiz-fusion
[22:53] <billybigrigger> crawler::: ahh...
[22:54] <crawler> billybigrigger: i've already tried using the python Dbus script, but it won't execute at startup for some reason
[22:54] <billybigrigger> crawler::: well im no guru, but i guess you would have to check that compiz was running first, then execute the keystroke combo, so im thinking bash script?
[22:54] <hvgotcodes> im on 8.10, for some reason when i  start firefox, it is maximized with no window decorations and cant be resized -- is this a known problem?  I have no idea how I caused this or what to do about it...
[22:55] <billybigrigger> crawler::: yeah, i don't know like i said im no guru, so keep asking around, or google i guess
[22:55] <billybigrigger> crawler::: sorry
[22:55] <crawler> billybigrigger: ok.  [compiz-dbus-send.py snow toggle_key] works to execute snow, but when i add it to startup nothing haooens
[22:55] <juan-pablo> medibuntu dont work
[22:55] <ctmjr> how would i fix this problem in my user.log http://pastebin.com/m2d62f02f
[22:55] <joekarl> hvgotcodes, is it in full screen mode?
[22:55] <hvgotcodes> joekarl, nope
[22:56] <joekarl> hvgotcodes, no idea then
[22:56] <hvgotcodes> hmm
[22:57] <waddaa> hi
[22:57] <jumbo> Hi everyone....Witam wszystkich
[22:57] <guntbert> !pl | jumbo
[22:57] <gunavara> can anyone give me a good tutorial for setting up rsync and cron   to backup fileserver to another server ?
[22:57] <Dominik> lifecurbed sorry I crashed
[22:59] <biophysics> check rsync.samba.org
[23:00] <Dominik> lifecurbed did you already respond to my last inquery, to sumerize modprobe -l lists the e1000e.ko but I can't unload it with rmmod e100e.ko it says e1000e does nto exist
 There is a good example for 7 day incremental backup at rsync home page http://www.samba.org/rsync/
[23:01] <gunavara> thanks
[23:01] <gherald> alguem q entende de formatos de video ae?
[23:01] <jim____> gunavara: also consider rdiff-backup &&
[23:01] <elli222> Resuming after a suspend remounts my root filesystem Read only. How can i fix this?
[23:01] <jim____> rdiff-backup --delete-older-than
[23:01] <guntbert> !es | gherald
[23:02] <gherald> ok

[23:02] <gherald> I need someone who know about video format
[23:02] <Dominik> lifecurbed no it would not it says does not exist
[23:03] <guntbert> gherald: ask you question, if somebody knows an answer he will tell you
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> 'about video format' is a large topic
[23:03] <jim____> gunavara: rdiff-backup is rsync underneath, with additional stuff to make it more suitable for backup purposes
[23:03] <gunavara> sweet thanks i'll try it :)
[23:03] <gherald> wich is one video format lite
[23:03] <gherald> tha avi

[23:05] <guntbert> !enter | gherald
[23:05] <elli222> I want to play music during boot. i intend to accomplish this using runlevels, alsa-utils, pulseaudio and mpd. What is the highest prirority i can give alsautils?
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> gherald:  ive converted rmvb befor to avi/divx  - not that i gained much by doign it
[23:06] <xnox> what does "rc" status mean in "dpkg -l" output. Is it still installed and takes space on my harddrive? How do I list only installed packages in dpkg-query?

[23:07] <gherald> need other format the will take less space on hd
[23:07] <abbazabba> i just intalled a hard drive, how od i find out the name of it so i can format it?

[23:07] <elli222> like, gzip -9 YOURFILE.XYZ?
[23:07] <gherald> yeah, but i don't know how to
[23:07] <Hajuu> Impossible..
[23:07] <elli222> and uncompress when you need it...

[23:07] <guntbert> abbazabba: sudo fdisk -l lists all hard disks
[23:08] <gherald> with the mencorder can i do it?
[23:08] <christopher_> what is a good tutorial for compiling the kernel
[23:09] <elli222> so you want a compressed format?
[23:09] <gherald> yeah
[23:09] <guntbert> !kernel | christopher_

[23:12] <EyePulp> I'm doing guest-admin work on a remote box.  I need to find what service is being used to handle smtp (so I can then go edit the conf for it) - is there an easy way to test?
[23:12] <EyePulp> (i see nothing in top that looks correct)
[23:12] <zleap> ah
[23:12] <abbazabba> i just installed a new hard drive, how would i go about erasing it and reformating it?
[23:12] <edbian> abbazabba: :)
[23:13] <edbian> Do you have a live CD?
[23:13] <Paddy_EIRE> !gparted | abbazabba
[23:13] <edbian> abbazabba: Actually are you running ubuntu right now??
[23:13] <swivels> @abbazabba use fdisk if it is a slave drive
[23:13] <abbazabba> edbian: i am, it's a 2nd hard drive
[23:13] <abbazabba> i just tried fdisk
[23:13] <unop> EyePulp,  sudo netstat -antp | grep -i ":25 "
[23:13] <abbazabba> but it didn't really owrk
[23:13] <edbian> abbazabba: Do you have gparted?
[23:13] <swivels> apt-get install gparted
[23:13] <abbazabba> edbian: nah i'm about to download
[23:14] <edbian> abbazabba: From the repos correct?
[23:14] <EyePulp> unop - nice -- exim
[23:14] <abbazabba> edbian: from sudo apt-get install gparted
[23:14] <edbian> abbazabba: (that is the repos)  When it is done launch it (It's under system -> admin)
[23:15] <abbazabba> edbian: you read my mind, i was like "where did it show up?"
[23:15] <edbian> abbazabba: hehe it is one of the few that don't go to "applications"
[23:16] <heuqw> Hi do some one have a guide to get bluetooth handsfree work in ubuntu, i'm gonna use my device only on ventrilo /teamspeek. And all other sounds in the pc speakers.
[23:16] <edbian> abbazabba: Once you have it open it is pretty striaght forward GUI tool.  Just make sure that you aren't trying to change the 1st harddrive.  (Sometimes the naming is confusing).  What are you trying to accomplish with this second drive?
[23:16] <abbazabba> edbian: haha true true, understandable, looks like you could do a lot of damage with this
[23:17] <edbian> abbazabba: Yeah you could.  Just so you know though you can't alter a filesystem (partition) that is mounted
[23:17] <abbazabba> edbian: long story short, i have a 60 gig and just added a 20gig, i'm gonna move all my mp3s and movies to the 20gig, back up the important shit, then install ubuntu 9 on the 60 gig and just use the 20 for spare storage
[23:17] <guntbert> EyePulp: try lsof -i
[23:17] <abbazabba> edbian: yeah i knew =]
[23:18] <edbian> abbazabba: ok.  Do you want any more help?
[23:18] <gherald> need codec to convert files do mpeg2
[23:18] <usser> gherald, ffmpeg
[23:18] <abbazabba> edbian: it just did it's thing, now how do i remount it?
[23:18] <abbazabba> should i restart?
[23:18] <gherald> in terminal??
[23:19] <edbian> abbazabba: You don't need to restart.  You can use the mount command?  Would you like me to explain it or just give it to you?
[23:19] <rainwalker> I have an Nvidia Quadro, should I install the drivers Nvidia gives for my specific card or go with the one Ubuntu lists in the Restricted Drivers window?
[23:19] <usser> gherald, yea, you have to install it first, enable medibuntu repo and just install ffmpeg
[23:19] <usser> !medibuntu | gherald
[23:19] <deany> gherald, winff is a gui, available in the repos
[23:19] <gherald> ok
[23:19] <gherald> thx
[23:19] <edbian> abbazabba: "you can use the mount command" should not be a question
[23:19] <abbazabba> edbian: just give it to me first (thats what she said) and if i dont get it i'll ask
[23:21] <edbian> abbazabba: well first make a folder to mount it in (this is usually done in /media) so sudo mkdir /media/hdd2 (or something)
[23:21] <iluminator101> quick question whats the name of program that opens packages in ubuntu something like garchive or something
[23:21] <raylu> !archive
[23:21] <Joshua_Mayer> I am trying to install Ubuntu and I select install, then all this white text comes up, and then it stops on end trace and doesn't continue.
[23:21] <abbazabba> edbian: should it be sdb ?
[23:21] <jaydedrag0n> okay i have a weird question (sort of about windows) i have a friends laptop that is borked by a virus.. what i want to know is.. can i boot into the ubuntu liveCD.. install a virus program (cuz i know you can install stuff) and then do a full system scan and remove all the crap? or does it not work that way?
[23:21] <edbian> abbazabba: It doesn't have to be
[23:21] <abbazabba> edbian: ok made
[23:21] <edbian> abbazabba: It can be anything you want
[23:22] <raylu> jaydedrag0n: that would work
[23:22] <abbazabba> edbian: hdd2 it is
[23:22] <edbian> abbazabba: Than the actual mount command is sudo mount /dev/sdb<partition number> /media/hdd2
[23:22] <e0n`> there no 8.04 lpia?
[23:22] <usser> jaydedrag0n, yea sure, clamav is a pretty good virus scanner
[23:22] <edbian> abbazabba: Probably /dev/sdb1 if you only have 1 partition
[23:22] <CSSnub> So I'm trying to lockdown rbash a bit for a user's home directory and I mistakenly type "rm -rf .bash_login .bashrc .profile .bash_profile .bash_logout" in the home directory rather than the /home/user directory. If I'm trying to delete those files for that specific user but I instead did it in the home directory I deleted them for all users? I'm a bit beyond my abilities here obviously. Did...
[23:22] <CSSnub> ...I just break something?
[23:22] <Joshua_Mayer> I am trying to install Ubuntu and I select install, then all this white text comes up, and then it stops on end trace and doesn't continue.
[23:22] <abbazabba> there it is
[23:23] <jaydedrag0n> can i find clamav from synaptic or do i need to google it?
[23:23] <raylu> CSSnub: that shouldn't have deleted anything at all
[23:23] <CSSnub> ty
[23:23] <max_> Hi. I'm having a problem. I cant change to 12hr time. I set that in time/date as 12hr format, and my clock is in 12hr format, but all my programs that look to that to see time/date are all in 24 hour format.
[23:23] <raylu> jaydedrag0n: it's in the repositories
[23:23] <abbazabba> edbian: thank you very much.. one last silly question.. the hard drives are right on top of each other.. think i should worry about them overheating?
[23:23] <edbian> So now that partition (entire HDD in your case) is inside the /media/hdd2 folder
[23:23] <jaydedrag0n> rockin.. thanks all a bunch!!!
[23:23] <usser> CSSnub, whats the point of locking down bash? what are you trying to accomplish?
[23:23] <raylu> CSSnub: the default rcs and profiles are in /etc/.../skel/ somewhere
[23:23] <edbian> abbazabba: Not unless they are physically touching (even then not really)
[23:23] <greg> max_ - what programs?
[23:23] <Joshua_Mayer> Anyone help me?
[23:24] <abbazabba> edbian: they have this rubber sleeve like thin which is touchin
[23:24] <max_> greg: Konversation, Pidgin.
