[07:18] <leo_rockw> ansichart: atheros released the specs of their wifi cards so hopefully there will be a free driver soon

[07:27] <seb90210> you bot
[07:27] <Tg150_> hm?
[07:28] <djhash> leo_rockw: not necessary, I had to do some editing to get it working.. the way grub sees the harddrives (after ubuntu is loaded) is different than what the bios sees them... when you run grub.. it tries to guess the sequence in which the bios loads the drives
[07:28] <_Martin_> France :-)
[07:29] <leo_rockw> djhash: we didn't have this kind of problems with good ole lilo ~_~
[07:29] <djhash> leo_rockw: lol.. yeah.. good ole lilo.. 'n' stitch.. :-D
[07:29] <leo_rockw> djhash: she said she still boots into windows, but her menu.lst has no entry for windows so grub is not installed
[07:29] <bullgard4> _Martin_: Zdecx govorjat po-angliski.
[07:30] <djhash> leo_rockw: that was exactly the problem I was having.. i found out, that one of my drives should've been sdb instead of sdc.. and sdc instead of sdb.. they got switched..
[07:30] <leo_rockw> djhash: master got changed?
[07:31] <jayde_drag0n> leo_rockw: i apologize, i apparantly AM an idiot.. feel free to mock at will.. when typing setup(hd    both times i put 0,0   instead of (hd0)
[07:31] <jayde_drag0n> leo_rockw: it worked beautifully
[07:31] <leo_rockw> jayde_drag0n: haha, well... i'm happy for you : )
[07:31] <djhash> lol.. :-)
[07:31] <seb90210> hd0,1
[07:32] <leo_rockw> jayde_drag0n: yeah, i was chatting with djhash here that if you were booting into windows that meant grub never got installed
[07:32] <jayde_drag0n> leo_rockw: so am i .. now i can actually get some sleep before scool in the morning.. i'll worry about editing grub tomorrow to see windows so i can do my meds60 homework
[07:32] <leo_rockw> jayde_drag0n: we still need to fix your menu.lst

[07:32] <jayde_drag0n> leo_rockw: is that what will have grub see windows?

[07:39] <orgthingy> HELP!
[07:39] <orgthingy>  i was compiling hydra and it said make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[07:40] <orgthingy> configure worked fine, but README says that i have to write make first
[07:40] <orgthingy> and it says make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[07:40] <AeronTS> what do i with the apache2 that's already on there and running? can i simply just stop that one,and proceed with installation of the LAMP version? or will there be problems?
[07:41] <Jordan_U> AeronTS: If you installed it via the package manager then it's just the same thing, it will no it's already installed and not try to re-install it
[07:41] <djhash> AeronTS: you can.. sudo apt-get install mysql php5 apache2
[07:42] <seb90210> see ya
[07:42] <OmgItsAShark> what is theh linux addon that gives you the docking bar at the bottom similar to osx

[07:42] <hateball> OmgItsAShark: AWN
[07:42] <OmgItsAShark> thank you very much
[07:42] <AeronTS> HOLY MACKERAL, that's a 59mb file, i'm on dialup  8(
[07:43] <wols> AeronTS: is that apache2 installed by ubuntu? if so you can keep it. if not you can't
[07:43] <OmgItsAShark> aww mn i gotta install comfiz
[07:44] <Jordan_U> AeronTS: Do you plan on using MySQL, if not then it's not really necessary to install it if you just want to mess with PHP
[07:44] <AeronTS> wols: i installed apache2 with apt
[07:44] <wols> AeronTS: then that part should be fine. and yes php+mysql is just about that size :)
[07:44] <orgthingy> where can i download .deb of hydra-gtk
[07:44] <AeronTS> Jordan_U: i am sorta thinking of using MySQL, i have a weight loss program i've been doing on paper, that i'd like to convert to a program
[07:44] <orgthingy> or GTKhydra?
[07:45] <AeronTS> could i just remove apache2 with apt, then?  if i'm going to use LAMP, i'd rather everything be clean, and install the whole enchilada :)
[07:46] <djhash> AeronTS: you could get on a fsater connection, download the package, put it on a CD or a thumbdrive, then install it on ur computer
[07:46] <wols> AeronTS: purge apache2.2-common rather
[07:46] <wols> AeronTS: but if you used the apache2 package from ubuntu it shouldn't be necessary
[07:47] <djhash> AeronTS: there is no LAMP package.. you are going to simply install each package seperately.. so dont remove apache so you only have to reinstall it..
[07:47] <funkbrain> yo
[07:47] <djhash> AeronTS: LAMP is just an acronym.. its not a real package..
[07:47] <AeronTS> wols, how do i purge it? i installed it with apt
[07:47] <magnetron> orgthingy, i have the link, but i much recommend you to use medusa instead. same functionality
[07:48] <AeronTS> but, with that tar file everything would be in one place, good enough for me
[07:48] <speener> df -h
[07:48] <orgthingy> magnetron : oh, thanks, ill try both
[07:48] <djhash> AeronTS: what tar file?
[07:48] <AeronTS> the one here -> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html
[07:48] <AeronTS> it's a tar file that is downloaded
[07:49] <magnetron> orgthingy, here's hydra. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=105830&page=2 Get medusa from the repos
[07:49] <wols> AeronTS: that tar file is not supported in any shape or form. if you then have problems with it, #ubuntu is the wrong place to ask
[07:50] <wols> AeronTS: and we STRONGLY tell you not to use that tar file
[07:50] <AeronTS> oh, well that is LAMP, isn't it?  i thought you all were suggesting i get that
[07:50] <VipOrX> xampp is NOT LAMP
[07:50] <AeronTS> ok
[07:50] <wols> AeronTS: no one did. ever. not in #ubuntu
[07:51] <wols> AeronTS: never ever install stuff that is not in a ubuntu repo if you can help it. and if you do, you are on your own with any resulting problems (there usually are problems then)
[07:52] <djhash> AeronTS: for a starter, xampp is the worst thing to start out with.. i've seen many MANY servers with vulnerabilities simply by using xampp, because people dont know how to use it.. since you are new to this, i suggest you do what the link from ubottu tells you to do..
[07:52] <OmgItsAShark> what is the website for linux themes

[07:54] <VipOrX> hrm, just read about the SSH key rootkit going around.... god I'm not in the mood for recalling keys and generating new ones
[07:55] <Jordan_U> alistair_: Is it an integrated GPU ( with shared memory ) ?
[07:55] <AeronTS> would the "Gutsy" desktop dvd i have in my hand have everything i need?
[07:55] <Jordan_U> AeronTS: Yes
[07:55] <alistair_> Jordan_U, yes
[07:55] <AeronTS> Jordan_U: that's great to hear, then so i won't have to download :)
[07:55] <magnetron> VipOrX, you haven't been keeping up on computer news, have you?
[07:55] <Jordan_U> alistair_: Try running memtest and confirm that the RAM is probably bad
[07:56] <VipOrX> just read it on planet.ubuntu.com
[07:56] <orgthingy> magnetron : but how do you crack FTP with medusa?
[07:56] <alistair_> Jordan_U, sorry, should have mentioned already did that

[07:56] <jayde_drag0n> leo_rockw: check your pm
[07:56] <magnetron> orgthingy, did you read the instructions?
[07:57] <orgthingy> magnetron : where :P ?
[07:57] <orgthingy> man medusa?
[07:57] <alistair_> Jordan_U, how do I tell it to use Safe Video mode from the grub screen do you know?
[07:57] <magnetron> orgthingy, in debian and ubuntu, there's ALWAYS a manpage for every CLI app
[07:57] <Jordan_U> AeronTS: You can actually install anything from main ( which includes all of the things shown by default in Applications -> Add / Remove ) but *Run a security update immediately if you are going to be connected to the internet* there was a serious ssl vulnerability in gutsy
[07:57] <djhash> VipOrX: link please?

[07:59] <alistair_> Jordan_U, do you suggest boot the livecd then go to /etc/x11 on the partition and edit it??
[07:59] <wols> orgthingy: packages.ubuntu.com will know
[07:59] <magnetron> orgthingy, i said that there are packages of THC-Hydra and the GTK frontend. i also gave you the link 5 minutes ago.
[08:00] <orgthingy> wols : its  not in repos
[08:00] <Jordan_U> alistair_: Yes
[08:00] <orgthingy> magnetron : u gave me link of forums? anyway, never minds
[08:00] <wols> orgthingy: then why do you ask us?
[08:00] <alistair_> Jordan_U, gksudo getdit /etc/x11 xorg.conf  ????
[08:00] <AeronTS> hmmmm.........sudo tasksel install lamp-server ............... it says "please wait"......... "installing packages", but it's stuck at 0% :/
[08:00] <orgthingy> wols : maybe because some sites like getdeb.net have it :P ??

[08:01] <wols> budmang: what "drivers"?
[08:01] <hischild> budmang, doesn't it work by default for you?
[08:01] <AeronTS> i put the dvd in there, dvd drive isn't reading the dvd
[08:02] <hischild> asnarang, may i ask why you would need adobe reader?
[08:02] <acrousey> how can I force quit an application in ubuntu?
[08:02] <wols> AeronTS: you can install it manually by installing apache2, mysql-server and php5
[08:02] <asnarang> I want to read pdf files
[08:02] <magnetron> asnarang, first of all, you don't need adobe reader to read PDF files. there's already a PDF reader included in ubuntu, just doubleclick a pdf and see for yourself.
[08:02] <blogi> Could not download all repository indexes
[08:02] <blogi> The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
[08:02] <wols> asnarang: there are tons of pdf readers in ubuntu. and I'm sure evince is installed by default
[08:02] <alistair_> Jordan_U, tks I get the picture anyway I'll be back in 15 mins if u still around to advise. I did try to set it from grub screen eg vga=874 but that was no good
[08:02] <hischild> asnarang, double click on a pdf to open it, you don't need special software for it, just like for just about any filetype.
[08:03] <blogi> i have an error downloading repository
[08:03] <wols> blogi: WHICH one
[08:03] <AeronTS> wols, with apt, how do i get it to install the packages off the dvd instead of looking elsewhere?
[08:03] <blogi> i dont know
[08:03] <asnarang> Still i want it.  Earlier also i had installed it.  But now I am facing difficulty.  I want to intall it.
[08:03] <hischild> blogi, check the error message. Scroll up if needed.

[08:03] <acrousey> is there a key combo to force quit applications?
[08:03] <blogi> opsss
[08:03] <blogi> sori
[08:03] <wols> AeronTS: tasksel only calls apt too. nothing else
[08:04] <wols> acrousey: no. but there are the commands kill and killall
[08:04] <hischild> acrousey, you can kill it with clickin on the cross or using xkill (run that command, your cursor changes into an X, click on the screen to kill it)
[08:04] <blogi> wols:http://paste.ubuntu.com/40844/

[08:07] <hischild> budmang, usually they work as well by default but the programs aren't installed by default. Once the programs are installed go to keyboard shortcuts to set the appropriate shortcuts.

[08:07] <hischild> Savion, you're not interrupting our chat. Please tell us what you would like to know in this channel.
[08:07] <VipOrX> Savion:  I suggest some coffe, and reading the community docs
[08:07] <Flannel> Savion: No need to be sorry, that's what this channel is for (and you weren't interrupting anyway).  What do you have questions with?  its best generally to just ask the question, and whoever knows the answer will answer.
[08:07] <Savion> Haha, alright
[08:07] <Savion> Thanks

[08:10] <AeronTS> wols, i just noticed that sources.list says the security entry lines were commented out because they could not be verified.  what would have caused failure in verification?  i never created those lines.
[08:10] <MacTavish> Simрlу
[08:11] <hischild> AeronTS, happens when (like the error says) it can't verify those sources. to fix --> sudo apt-get update

[08:12] <Flannel> Savion_: You installed with wubi then?  from the Ubuntu cd?
[08:12] <carlosf> I didn't ask which one was the best.
[08:12] <Savion_> Yep
[08:13] <Flannel> Savion_: you reboot and choose Ubuntu at the boot menu then (right after your POST screen)
[08:13] <wols> !errors | AeronTS
[08:13] <AeronTS> wols there is no mysql-server package on my gutsy dvd, the line in the source.list file for the cdrom is not commented out,and when i try to install the mysql-server package, it says there was no package found.
[08:14] <wols> AeronTS: apt-cache search mysql
[08:14] <hischild> CarlFK, you were taking a poll.
[08:14] <AeronTS> apt-cache search mysql

[08:15] <fatsug> use /ncik flimflam
[08:15] <Savion_> Flannel: I've gotten to the boot menu can I'm choosing the start in Linux normal mode. After that is where I get brain dead and start having problems
[08:15] <wols> Flannel: apropos wubi install. I installed it and after I choose ubuntu on the grub menu I get dumped to a grub4dos prompt. the windows menu entry works fine
[08:15] <Savion_> Flannel: And*
[08:15] <AeronTS> fatsug isn't a flimflam a drumming technique?  i remember learning about it way back in the 80's
[08:16] <Flannel> Savion_: what sort of problems?
[08:16] <AeronTS> wols apt-cache search mysql
[08:16] <AeronTS> openoffice.org-base - OpenOffice.org office suite - database
[08:16] <wols> AeronTS: stop that
[08:16] <wols> AeronTS: then mysql is not on the CD and you must use repos
[08:17] <fatsug> AeronTS: i have no idea...
[08:17] <Savion_> Flannel: Ha, I kinda feel embarrassed. Basically not knowing the commands to use after typing the "help". I just want to get to the desktop.
[08:17] <AeronTS> wols, look i appreciate your help but maybe you should have prefaced that with "I think"
[08:17] <Flannel> Savion_: Hmmm, wubi should get you to a desktop.  You should get a graphical tan-ish login screen that asks for your username in the middle of it.
[08:18]  * VipOrX looks at wols
[08:18] <wols> VipOrX: hm?
[08:18] <Savion_> Flannel: Nope, I just get a black screen with text wanting me to type in a command.

[08:30] <kevin_> can anyone help me with using korean language system?
[08:30] <estunecle> richard: few advices are 1) you probably need dual-link dvi, or try vga. not sure about this card. 2) this is maybe EDID problem and you should make custom videomode with modeline.
[08:30] <akubra> Yeah I already looked at that. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel%20WiFi%20Link%205100

[08:43] <NewUser> hi all, is there issues with Firefox in Ubuntu? It seems to be lagging quite frequently
[08:43] <krux0> does anyone know if linux has been ported to the Sidekick III
[08:44] <notwist> I'm now ircing from my "router box" running ubuntu server, it's handing out IP adresses with DHCP fine but how do i "share" my internet connection with anyone connected to the network? I can't seem to get it to work :(
[08:44] <kevin_> newuser: my firefox seems fine to me
[08:44] <keph> kevin_: so, dhclient, what does it do in your case?
[08:44] <kevin_> newuser: i haven't tryed firefox 3.0 tho.
[08:44] <NewUser> yeah im on 3
[08:44] <alistair_> richard, I did try using the grub on boot and assigned vga=876 but that didnt do anything useful resolution stayed the same
[08:44] <kevin_> it's just can't accept dhcp
[08:44] <NewUser> just seems sluggish and freezes alot
[08:44] <kevin_> -_- no ip what's so ever'
[08:44] <NewUser> maybe ill try 2
[08:44] <richard> estunecle, so I basically have to wait until someone else figures it out? that seems crappy :(
[08:44] <kevin_> may be i will try manually setting dhcpcd setting
[08:45] <richard> alistair, what video card?
[08:45] <amanulla> how to use screem html/xml edotor?
[08:45] <alistair_> richard, Ill go edit it and try again. Im not sure its a fairly old beast but was working with higher resolution before I changed the memory which checks out ok
[08:45] <keph> meh, and this all started when I unticked "enable wireless", because I wanted to go modem, due to my only available wifi being "borrowed" :P
[08:45] <notwist> Does anyone know iptables? I suppose thats what im supposed to share the internet connection on my server box
[08:45] <estunecle> richard: i think right tv should work without any modelines...
[08:46] <keph> serves me right, I guess, shouldn't have disturbed it once I got it working :P
[08:46] <estunecle> richard: sorry have not much time to look into your issue
[08:46] <kevin_> funny thing is i think my card works at backtrack2 ,3

[09:05] <ikonia> richard: your TV also doesn't appear to be a noted/named brand, so you'll need to check what EDID information it gives out over HDMI (I assume your using HDMI)
[09:05] <Kartagis> I used ssh -X<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and I logged in, then I issued the command gedit and I got 'cannot open display'. how come?
[09:05] <notwist> belkinhelp2: close other packet handler
[09:05] <notwist> Kartagis: gedit is graphical
[09:06] <richard> ikonia, yes I am
[09:06] <notwist> Kartagis: use nano
[09:06] <richard> ikonia, how do I do that?
[09:06] <Terralthr2> I compiled a new kernel for myself so I could use the ath9k driver, but now nvidia's restricted driver isn't working, even though synaptic has it as installed
[09:06] <VipOrX> Kartagis:  maybe the SSH server isnt allowing X11Forwarding
[09:06] <Terralthr2> how do I get it to work again?
[09:06] <Kartagis> VipOrX, I checked, it does
[09:07] <ikonia> richard: richard you'll need to install some xorg packages, as I recall the command was edidinfo, but I don't remember the package
[09:07] <ikonia> richard: you should also be able to see it in your xorg log file
[09:07] <Kartagis> notwist, that's why I used ssh -X
[09:07] <ikonia> richard: be aware though the video card you have selected is not a good choice for any linux system, and in my opinion your in for a fight
[09:08] <notwist> Kartagis: why do you have to use gedit?
[09:08] <Terralthr2> so, assuming synaptic/apt-get is right, and I have the modules on my system, how do I enable them again?
[09:08] <ikonia> Kartagis: make sure X11 forwarding is enabled on both sides
[09:08] <VipOrX> Kartagis:  try -Y
[09:08] <tenbytes> yo--anyone to grep a file an http file?
[09:08] <notwist> anyone with experience of "webmin"? is it good?
[09:09] <ikonia> notwist: it's terrible
[09:09] <tenbytes> anyway to grep an ftp file I mean
[09:09] <tenbytes> http
[09:09] <ikonia> notwist: it's not supported by ununtu
[09:09] <tenbytes> ug
[09:09] <ikonia> tenbytes: grep index.html
[09:09] <notwist> ikonia: why is it terrible?
[09:09] <ikonia> notwist: doesn't work well, unsecure, etc etc
[09:09] <dexem> !webmin
[09:09] <dexem> !ebox
[09:09] <Kartagis> ikonia, both sides? in config you mean?
[09:09] <richard> ikonia, what am I looking for exactly?
[09:10] <Guest67728> ubottu help with awn plz
[09:10] <ikonia> Kartagis: yes
[09:10] <ikonia> richard: the EDID information your monitor is advertising
[09:10] <Guest67728> i need helop with awn
[09:10] <Kartagis> !awn | Guest67728
[09:10] <notwist> dexem: getting it now, thx
[09:10] <VipOrX> Kartagis: !pastebin the output of :  grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[09:11] <alistair_> Hasnt Heron got a failsafe key when video goes awry user can press a key during boot to force Safe Video Mode??
[09:11] <ikonia> alistair_: it should do that on its own, if it can't work with your driver display, it will load fail safe drivers
[09:12] <alistair_> ikonia, I wished!
[09:12] <Kartagis> VipOrX, http://pastebin.com/f57dd4bf5
[09:12] <Guest67728> help with awn installation please
[09:12] <ikonia> alistair_: just explain the issue
[09:13] <ikonia> Guest67728: what's the problem ?
[09:13] <Ritalin`> ?
[09:13] <Guest67728> how do i get it to start when ubuntu starts
[09:13] <ikonia> Guest67728: how did you install it
[09:13] <alistair_> ikonia, have installed Heron on 3 pc each has had some form of video problem and one gave me major it was an integrated VIA board I had to use Safe Video Mode on the install disk, then eventually install when it was running from the desktop that finally worked
[09:14] <Guest67728> terminal
[09:14] <VipOrX> Kartagis:  I see you are allowing root login, are you SSHed into root and trying to run remote gedit?
[09:14] <ikonia> Guest67728: from the ubuntu repo's ?
[09:14] <notwist> I sort of thought webmin could help me with getting my router up, can ebox do that as well?
[09:14] <notwist> my server as a router, that is
[09:14] <ikonia> notwist: no
[09:14] <richard> ikonia, ok I see the information in the xorg log with the modeline information...
[09:14] <alistair_> ikonia, there is an issue with Heron recognising video the forum is full of such comments
[09:14] <Kartagis> VipOrX, no, I am logged as user
[09:14] <ikonia> notwist: well, depands how you chose to confgire it
[09:14] <Guest67728> i dont really know what that means
[09:14] <Guest67728> yeah
[09:14] <ikonia> alistair_: those video cards are known to be bad
[09:14] <VipOrX> Kartagis:  did ssh -Y user@box   work?
[09:14] <alistair_> ikonia, (well fairly full)!
[09:15] <Guest67728> some guy had me run it directly from the terminal
[09:15] <PenguinLover> hey people, one silly question, i want ubuntu based distro that runs from the USB Flash and doesn't take a lot of space :D
[09:15] <ikonia> alistair_: if you use the vesa driver - I'm sure it will work
[09:15] <PenguinLover> and with instructions
[09:15] <alistair_> ikonia, I am just having a battle with a PC which worked before, now it has stopped I tried device = vesa but now the resolution is rubbish
[09:15] <belkinhelp2> using the synaptic package manager worked...installed libflash0c2, libflash-mozplugin and libflash-swfplayer
[09:15] <fatsug> Guest67728:  try reading this:  http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=180712
[09:16] <belkinhelp2> seems to have cleared up the problem
[09:16] <alistair_> ikonia, max resolution now is 800x600 before it was 1024 x 768 or thereabouts
[09:16] <belkinhelp2> hard to troubleshoot because it doesnt always skip...have to watch videos now to find out
[09:16] <belkinhelp2> lol
[09:16] <belkinhelp2> but so far so good
[09:16] <ikonia> alistair_: what did you change
[09:16] <Kartagis> VipOrX, no it didn't work
[09:16] <alistair_> just device = vesa
[09:17] <belkinhelp2> thank all for your support
[09:17] <ikonia> alistair_: yes, thats teh fail save driver
[09:17] <ikonia> alistair_: so it won't support high res
[09:17] <Guest67728> thank you so much
[09:17] <alistair_> ikonia,  Im just about to reinstall Ubuntu on this machine because been mucking around for ages
[09:17] <ikonia> alistair_: ok?
[09:17] <notwist> ikonia: how do i add more modules to ebox?
[09:17] <alistair_> ikonia, Im not sure if you are on dev team??
[09:17] <ikonia> alistair_: I'm not
[09:18] <dexem> notwist: which modules do you need?
[09:18] <dexem> it should be as simple as apt-get install ebox-foo if they exist
[09:18] <ana> anna
[09:18] <alistair_> ikonia, pity, I was going to suggest that there is some methods used to failsafe when the failsafe system doesnt work!
[09:18] <notwist> dexem: some to make my computer a working router with maybe some nice features. got dhcp3 already so not that
[09:18] <alistair_> ikonia, for example:
[09:18] <ikonia> alistair_: that would be a pointless suggestion
[09:18] <notwist> dexem: so which ones should i get?
[09:19] <jamil_13579> my boot menu  comes very late
[09:19] <dexem> notwist: you can see some features here: http://ebox-platform.com/product/features/
[09:19] <alistair_> On the PC in question, if it boots normally, the screen is corrupt. If boot disk is used and F4=Safe Video then it loads up, resolution is fine, and shes sweet
[09:19] <VipOrX> Kartagis: if SSH server is allowing X11Forwarding and your using -X or -Y to run remote gedit, it should work unless you made some custom xorg.conf setting or other customizations
[09:20] <notwist> dexem: ok i got "network" and "samba", lets see if it works
[09:20] <dexem> notwist: if that looks ok for you, then you can go to #ebox and ask about you current configuration and how to migrate to ebox
[09:20] <ikonia> alistair_: it's pointless explaining this
[09:20] <alistair_> Then if you install from that desktop, it will install with the correct resolution eg much higher than can get currently
[09:20] <ikonia> alistair_: thats not how it works, and I don't think it should be changed so it's pointless to continue explaining it
[09:20] <alistair_> ikonia, ok tks anyway
[09:22] <VipOrX> Kartagis:   is your ssh client running -X on linux?
[09:23] <OmgItsAshark> Hey all
[09:24] <OmgItsAshark> how do i change my text color
[09:24] <visik7> is there some application firewall on ubuntu that notifiy me if an app is trying to listen to a port or make a connection
[09:25] <visik7> and allow or deny it ?
[09:25] <jamil_13579> my boot menu  takes a long time to appear. my bootloader is grub and I dual boot ubuntu with XP
[09:25] <xnv> OmgItsAshark: There is lots of text lost of places. You need to be more specific.
[09:25] <xnv> *lots
[09:26] <Kartagis> VipOrX, yes
[09:27] <VipOrX> visik7:   a program called specto will watch ports and notify you
[09:27] <toshko> raid
[09:27] <VipOrX> visik7:  its in the repos
[09:28] <VipOrX> Kartagis:  Then I am at a loss
[09:28] <visik7> VipOrX: isn't a firewall
[09:29] <visik7> VipOrX: maybe nufw
[09:29] <VipOrX> visik7:  you can use ufw to allow/deny connections on ports, firewall ports, etc...      the program specto is a nifty lil app that will notify you of web page changes and port connections and other things
[09:30] <ubuntu__> I want to use the LiveCD as a rescue CD for my colleague's windows install
[09:30] <djc_> but when trying to mount the NTFS partition, it says it's in use

[09:30] <djc_> how big of a risk is -o force'ing the mount?

[09:33] <OmgItsAshark> How do you make ubuntu do that weird box desktop thing

[09:34] <visik7> VipOrX: yes but doesn't allow me to lock specific apps
[09:34] <visik7> VipOrX: only a notification
[09:34] <jamil_13579> my boot menu  takes a long time to appear. my bootloader is grub and I dual boot ubuntu with XP
[09:34] <OmgItsAshark> yeah
[09:34] <OmgItsAshark> yeah i dual boot ubuntu with xp as well
[09:34] <VipOrX> visik7:   are you talking about outgoing connections?
[09:35] <OmgItsAshark> so how do you do the box thing
[09:35] <saxin> OmgItsAshark: #compiz-fusion
[09:35] <visik7> VipOrX: yes
[09:35] <VipOrX> visik7:  like notify you if an ubuntu app makes an outbound connection?
[09:35] <visik7> yes
[09:35] <visik7> like any personal firewall on windows
[09:38] <JabberWalkie> can someone tell me what the numbers that begin every line of /var/log/kern.log mean?
[09:38] <jamil_13579> my boot menu  takes a long time to appear. my bootloader is grub and I dual boot ubuntu with XP Will anybody help me ?
[09:38] <VipOrX> visik7:  off hand, I don't know if ufw can restrict outbound, anything that will notify a user of outbound connections....    you could always use a net monitor to see all active inbound/outbound connections
[09:38] <saxin> OmgItsAshark: I can try help you if you want to
[09:39] <VipOrX> visik7:  like tcpdump
[09:39] <visik7> VipOrX: yes I know but something more userfriendly I'm installing ubuntu on a friend computer and he can't live without this fake sense of security
[09:40] <salaz> hello
[09:40] <salaz> want to ask
[09:40] <VipOrX> visik7:  dunno, tcpdump will certainly show ALL in/out connections and where everything is going, if he doesnt mind watching the terminal
[09:41] <salaz> nfs is not alredy installed in ubuntu?
[09:41] <visik7> VipOrX: Is not the solution
[09:41] <VipOrX> visik7:  and there are some GUI frontends to tcpdump
[09:41] <visik7> salaz: I don't think so
[09:41] <salaz> do we have to installed it manually in synaptics?
[09:41] <visik7> salaz: at least the user space server
[09:41] <salaz> visik7: what do u mean?
[09:41] <visik7> visik7: yes there is wireshark
[09:41] <visik7> ops
[09:41] <visik7> I talk to myself :)
[09:41] <salaz> err
[09:41] <visik7> VipOrX: yes there is wireshark
[09:42] <visik7> salaz: there is a kernel version and a userspace version of nfs server (and client too)
[09:42] <salaz> visik7: so dats mean i have to install rite?
[09:42] <SmokeyD> hey people. How can I use gfxboot in ubuntu. There is a thread which explains it but doesn't use the standard Ubuntu pacakges (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855). SInce I am running amd64 I can't use the deb provided there. I have no clue what I can do with the standard ubuntu packages for gfxboot and the gfxboot-theme-* packages.
[09:42] <visik7> salaz: which ?
[09:43] <salaz> visik7: i've instaled the userspace version, do i need to install for the server also?
[09:43] <SmokeyD> I 'd like to get rich of the standard black and white bootmenu but don't know how
[09:43] <visik7> salaz: no

[10:00] <asare> thanks man
[10:00]  * ActionParsnip expects a compiz question
[10:00] <immy123> asare, i'm pretty new too
[10:00] <salaz> i have question, how to install others package like .rpm in ubuntu? do i have to install the rpm package manager first? or can i convert the .rpm file to .deb?
[10:00] <immy123> good to see someone like me :)
[10:00] <Flannel> !alien | salaz
[10:01] <asare> so i love what am experience so f
[10:01] <immy123> salaz, u can use alien to convert from one package to another
[10:01] <salaz> Flannel: do u know that .rpm also can be installed in ubuntu?
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> salaz: try and find a deb
[10:01] <Flannel> salaz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> salaz: what you installing?
[10:01] <salaz> oh
[10:01] <salaz> ok
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> salaz: whats the rpm install?
[10:01] <Flannel> salaz: They won't work well together though.  rpm won't know about apts packages and v.v.
[10:02] <immy123> hey, salaz r u jst checkin our knowledge in linux or r u serious?
[10:02] <immy123> rpm doesn't wrk in ubuntu right?
[10:02] <salaz> nope..its my task to do the research on that and implement it
[10:02] <salaz> can work
[10:02] <immy123> i once tried to install one n it ddnt wrk
[10:02] <asare> i have few questions to ask is there any one who is familar with Unbuntu server
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> immy123: you can convert but its STRONGLY advised not to bothe
[10:02] <Flannel> immy123: Ubuntu is a deb distro, yes.
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> asare: ask away, its the same as the desktop essentially
[10:03] <salaz> ActionParsnip: why it is not encourage to do so? it will corrupted the system?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> salaz: it can, yes
[10:03] <Flannel> salaz: one doesn't know what the other is doing.
[10:03] <asare> ok will i have to  server installed but it only gave me a command line no graphics
[10:04] <Flannel> asare: Correct
[10:04] <JabberWalkie> so, it seems that ubuntu is slow to get my usb keyboard and mouse to work. It takes about 10 seconds after the desktop is loaded untill they light up and start working. It never used to do this, any one know what might be causing it?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> asare: then you need to install x and a desktop environment
[10:04] <salaz> Flannel: oh ok..i guess its dangerous
[10:04] <immy123> but dnt wry Jabber
[10:04] <immy123> they'll fix it in the next release
[10:04] <asare> its there any way i can get it go like desktop?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> asare: why did you get the server version if you want a desktop?
[10:04] <immy123> ubuntu is improvin at a very fast pace
[10:04] <asare> i know
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> asare: sudo apt-get fluxbox should sort you out
[10:04] <asare> well i want to run a sever
[10:05] <JabberWalkie> immy123: well, it depends if it is a problem the devs know about
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> asare: desktop can run a server
[10:05] <Flannel> asare: Is this your main box?
[10:05] <immy123> n windows is going backwards in terms of improvement ;)
[10:05] <immy123> vista da best example
[10:05] <Flannel> !u  | immy123
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> asare: you can install any ubuntu app on any of the other multitude of ubuntus
[10:05] <salaz> Flannel: whats the probability the rpm package will disturb the system? is highly not encourage or is it just not encourage to do so?
[10:05] <Savion_> OH MY GOD
[10:05] <Savion_> ubottu, you my friend win
[10:05] <immy123> hmm then that means i can't use shorten forms
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> salaz: id say high
[10:06] <Savion_> Damn it
[10:06] <Flannel> asare: Linux makes no differentiation between a "server" and a "desktop" they're both just programs.  If you're looking to run a few server programs on your regular box, you're better off installing desktop, and then adding them.
[10:06] <hateball> So... does Ubuntu (or the kernel in general) support RAM hotplugging?
[10:06] <immy123> ok, ok i won't do it in the future
[10:06] <salaz> ActionParsnip: ok
[10:06] <Flannel> immy123: Thta's correct.  It's extremely difficult for non-native speakers to follow.
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> asare: youve made yourself a tonne of extra work and at the end you're going to have a desktop install just slower
[10:06] <immy123> ok, but i'm a non-native speaker as well. ;)
[10:06] <asare> well i will try that and see
[10:07] <OmgItsAshark> how do i remove programs?
[10:07] <immy123> add/remove in the main menu
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> asare: the command i gave you will install fluxbox and all its dependancies which will include x
[10:07] <salaz> me too non-native english speaker ;0
[10:07] <Flannel> asare: If you're going to use it for a regular desktop, after you install ubuntu-desktop, you'll also want to install linux-generic, and then next boot remove linux-server
[10:07] <immy123> uncheck it and hit apply button
[10:07] <asare> ok
[10:07] <OmgItsAshark> i swear i am blind
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> OmgItsAshark: you can use synaptic or apt-get
[10:08] <immy123> is it apt-get remove
[10:08] <immy123> or apt-get install --remove
[10:08] <asare> well i will install desktop to be free from all this pbl am getting ma self into
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> immy123: you need ssudo for apt-get
[10:08] <asare> well is later here guys i ga to bed up
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> immy123: sudo apt-get --purge remove <program>; sudo apt-get clean
[10:08] <asare> work in the morning
[10:08] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: no need to clean
[10:08] <asare><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:08] <immy123> why does purge come there
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: was meant to be autoremove but had a brain spazz
[10:09] <asare> later actionparsnip later
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> immy123: it removes the configs for the app, a proper remove
[10:09] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: autoremove probably isn't what you want anyway.
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> asare: peace
[10:09] <immy123> oh, then how about the GUI removal
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: why not? it removes orphaned deps
[10:09] <immy123> i usually do that way
[10:09] <asare> peace to ya'll
[10:09] <salaz> Flannel: is it if i convert the rpm file to deb, it will be much more safer?
[10:09] <Flannel> immy123: in synaptic, "complete removal" is the same as purge
[10:09] <salaz> purge in DoTa?huhu
[10:09] <Flannel> salaz: yes, but you should try and find a deb.
[10:09] <immy123> oh, then what im doing is also ok.
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> salaz: what is the name of the deb you have?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> heres a question...why can only root run alien??
[10:10] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: I know what it does, but doing that automatically can sometimes remove things you don't want removed.
[10:10] <immy123> only sudo can but not root right?
[10:10] <salaz> Flannel: thanx, like i told u be4,its just a task 4me to do, i'm not gonna install it ;-)
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> immy123: to you, sudo == root
[10:11] <salaz> ActionParsnip: i dont want to install it, juz want to know how to install n convert it, thanx to both of u
[10:11] <immy123> but i read somewhere that root and super user are two different things
[10:11] <Flannel> sudo is a means by which you become root temporarily.   You are right it isnt ACTUAL root, but its equivelant access
[10:12] <Flannel> asare: Please don;t do that here.
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> salaz: good
[10:12] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: it's an important distinction.
[10:12] <immy123> by the way, why doesn't ubuntu have a good site so that users can download s/w and share it among them?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> salaz: I have gens installed from rpm but I dont care if my system falls over and I wanted some fun
[10:13] <Mithsir>  Hi! I cant get DPMS to work correctly on my MSI Wind laptop - after the timeout, the screen blanks for 1 second, but then comes back up. How do I fix/debug this?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> immy123: they do, they are the repos
[10:13] <salaz> ok2..now i'm asking about nfs...what is it actually do?
[10:13] <immy123> hmm.
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> salaz: nfs == network file system?
[10:13] <salaz> ActionParsnip: haha..u r a hardcore
[10:13] <salaz> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:13] <Flannel> salaz: You should ask that in another channel, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support related questions, not general info stuff.
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> salaz: between what and what?
[10:14] <salaz> Flannel: sorry, just asking
[10:14] <immy123> but i recently saw in a blog, some users ranting that ubuntu doesn't have a good site that'll help users to download and share s/w
[10:14] <salaz> ActionParsnip: server and client?
[10:14] <immy123> i know that the repos is available
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> salaz: im not hardcore im just familiar with the stupid acronymns in this industry
[10:14] <immy123> but that doesn't let a user to download a s/w and then give it to his friends
[10:15] <immy123> just like burning an iso image of ubuntu and giving to his friends
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> immy123: check apt-get switches, you can simply download the rpm but not install it
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> immy123: it downloads to /var/apt/cache
[10:15] <Flannel> immy123: You can do that with the repositories, yes.  See aptonCD
[10:15] <Mithsir> ActionParsnip: I did install all updates, but that didnt fix my DPMS problems
[10:15] <immy123> you mean we can download s/w installation files?
[10:16] <Flannel> immy123: deb packages are software installation files
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Mithsir: what vga card you got?
[10:16] <gaurav__> which one is good for multimeda purpose ubuntu , fedora or any othjer version please do suggest me
[10:16] <immy123> aha, so that's good.
[10:16] <Mithsir> ActionParsnip: Intel 945GME
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> gaurav__: all are fine
[10:16] <bazhang> gaurav__, they are all good; this is ubuntu support however
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> gaurav__: your requirement is very generic so any distro wil do
[10:17] <immy123> ubuntu is good, but you'll have to download the codecs
[10:17] <gaurav__> which one is best for like sound forge and all heavy multimedia support
[10:17] <salaz> another question, do you all everheard about ftec laptop? it seems have problems with the graphics, did ubuntu support all types of graphics?
[10:17] <gaurav__> or any specific linux version
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> gaurav__: again, all
[10:17] <bazhang> !studio | gaurav__
[10:17] <Slart> gaurav__: I think there's a multimedia version of ubuntu available.. medibuntu perhaps?
[10:17] <Slart> gaurav__: ah.. that was the one
[10:17] <immy123> ah yeah, i've heard about ubuntustudio. that would do.
[10:18] <gaurav__> thanx all
[10:18] <bazhang> np
[10:18] <justin__> can someone help me with finding out where my dvdrom drive is mounted...trying to burn a 360 game
[10:18] <justin__> or where I could look to find out
[10:18] <as> the output of mount?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> Mithsir: have you got Option "DPMS" in your xorg.conf?
[10:18] <Flannel> salaz: Ubuntu supports a great deal of graphics chipsets.  As for that particular laptop, it will depend on its hardware.
[10:19] <fatsug> Slart:  i think you mean ubuntu studio
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> Mithsir: should be in Section "Monitor"
[10:19] <Mithsir> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:19] <Flannel> salaz: You'll have to check it out yourself, or at least google around for it.
[10:19] <immy123> hmm. aptonCD seems to be cool. but what if there's a site for users to get to know about various s/w
[10:19] <immy123> the latest ones as well
[10:19] <salaz> Flannel: ok, i'll look after it
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> immy123: again websearch round to see what you can find
[10:19] <immy123> they also can rate them. and give their comments

[10:20] <scuser> hi all, any help with that error: The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! ?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Mithsir: you can also run xset -q
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> simmerz: you need to mount with user writability
[10:21] <simmerz> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu is auto mounting, so it should do so automatically...
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> scuser: sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[10:23] <Nom-> Hi all.  Can anyone recommend a package for having centranlized authorization to login to a server?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Nom-: an ssh server?
[10:24] <simmerz> ActionParsnip: so why would automount not mount with user-write?
[10:24] <jpds> !ssh | Nom-
[10:24] <Dzero> authentication against a windows domain?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> simmerz: depends how your system is setup
[10:24] <justin__> Dzero what is lshw?
[10:25] <simmerz> ActionParsnip: meaning? it's almost a default setup... upgraded from gutsy to hardy
[10:25] <salaz> cryingtux: try this https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-September/093780.html
[10:25] <Nom-> No, as in centralized authorization to who can connect either locally or via ssh.  An access control system.
[10:25] <Dzero> justin__, its a command that tells you about your hardware
[10:25] <justin__> ok
[10:25] <Chousuke> Nom-: I'm not familiar with the technologies per se, but isn't some PAM module usually used for that?
[10:25] <justin__> thanks
[10:25] <Dzero> also have a look at the output of mount
[10:26] <Nom-> Probably... i'm looking into pam_ldap at the moment
[10:26] <Chousuke> Nom-: googling for that might get you started.

[10:26] <gaurav__> can linux system can be worked remotely on windows working system
[10:26] <gaurav__> ?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> simmerz: you can have all sorts of weid and wonderful setups in linux, you need to remount
[10:26] <Chousuke> gaurav__: yes?
[10:26] <gaurav__> could you please ellebrote me sir
[10:26] <gaurav__> how to do so ?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> gaurav__: do you mean share a linux folder to the network?
[10:27] <salaz> gaurav_what do you mean, like remote desktop? or webmin?
[10:27] <Chousuke> gaurav__: if I understood you correctly, then all you need is and SSH client (and a server on the linux machine) or VNC.
[10:27] <Chousuke> an*

[10:27] <Chousuke> gaurav__: "view" how? :)
[10:27] <rrrmanion> (and maybe girls?)
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> gaurav__: there are tools for reading linux partitions, Linux can read and write to ntfs
[10:28] <simmerz> ActionParsnip: I know that. I'm asking why, if I have a default ubuntu setup (the only change to /etc/fstab is proc/usb stuff), I can't mount my external drive as writeable by double clicking it in Places -> Computer...
[10:28] <gaurav__> i mean like remote servers
[10:28] <Chousuke> gaurav__: well you can log in to it with SSH
[10:28] <gaurav__> how to get ssh

[10:30] <scuser> Dzero: so should I specify sda# and not sda only ?
[10:31] <justin__> yes it is
[10:31] <salaz> cryingtux: if u google it i confirm theres monet threads and forum about it..coz i've repaired my grub and fixed the grub error 17 before
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> scuser: sda is a physical hard drive, sda1 is the first partition, sda2 is the nexgt
[10:31] <justin__> well not chipped but flashed
[10:31] <salaz> *many ..dem
[10:31] <Dzero> yes but make sure you specify the right partition

[10:32] <Dzero> scuser, yes

[10:42] <fsloke> but the version different... Now I try to point the old version to the new version
[10:42] <scuser> ActionParsnip:  should I format sda8 only or any other partition, and with which filesystem ?

[10:42] <fsloke> How can I do this?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> fsloke: it sometimes has to be done that way
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> fsloke: cd to the folder in terminal
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> sudo ln -s ./existingfilename ./filenameyouwantto exist
[10:44] <fsloke> then
[10:44] <scuser> ActionParsnip:  I used parted utility to format and found that sda8 is formatted ext3, what do you think I should do ?
[10:44] <justin__> it also says directory doesnt exist
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> scuser: can you mount it?
[10:45] <scuser> ActionParsnip: No, mount: can't find /dev/sda8 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab :(
[10:45] <Dzero> scuser, you sure your pointing to the right game image?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> scuser: doesnt need to be in either
[10:46] <Dzero> scuser, sorry confused you with justin__
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> scuser: sudo mkdir /mnt/test; sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/test
[10:46] <nnull> if i cant mount a networked drive is it possible the drive is fooked? ive been playing with shares on it and i think the drives had it, its like a 120gig drive and ive had it packed with 119 gig left on for many months :s?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> scuser: you dont need fstab or mtab for that, you can mount anything anyplace
[10:46] <nnull> thats bad for drives right
[10:46] <justin__> the game image is on the desktop
[10:47] <scuser> ActionParsnip: well those commands worked fine, but how can this help my problem ?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> nnull: very full partitions arent advised
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> scuser: i jst wanna make sre you can write to the partition
[10:48] <justin__> when I originally typed the command that works for my friend like a charm it came up with this....:-( "/dev/hdc=": unexpected errno:No such file or directory
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> scuser: cd /mnt/test; touch andy.txt; ls
[10:48] <nnull> ActionParsnip, its not a partition, unless ubuntu considers it one when mounting?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> nnull: you can ONLY mount partitions
[10:48] <nnull> spose its on one lol
[10:48] <Dzero> justin__, give the full command line
[10:48] <justin__> growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/hdc= /home/justin/Desktop/TigerWoods.iso
[10:48] <nnull> its a NTFS partition
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> nnull: yes, a disk with 1 partition is still a partition
[10:49] <nnull> ActionParsnip : indeed lol
[10:49] <scuser> ActionParsnip: andy.txt is now found at /mnt/test
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> nnull: and the partition is in the same local machine?
[10:49] <nnull> nope its a windows share on the local network
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> scuser: ok then the disk is healthy. rm ./andy.txt
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> nnull: ok so whats your issue?
[10:50] <scuser> ActionParsnip: this means that I can write to the /dev/sda8, so ??
[10:50] <KazaLite> actually i want to write an application that will not be open source and will be sold to clients but this application would use/rely upon libraries that fall under GPL like libpart etc so if i use these GPLed libraries will i have to make all my code open source?
[10:50] <linxeh> KazaLite: correct
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> scuser: it means the drive is healthy and being read correctly
[10:51] <linxeh> KazaLite: this is the good thing with the GPL :)
[10:51] <nnull> ActionParsnip: i cant mount it, just says unable to mount, or mount failed, so i run a chkdsk on it and it gets to phase 4of5 and basically feezes does about 1% every 2 hours i left it for about half a day
[10:51] <KazaLite> then how to make money?:P
[10:51] <eventmaster> hello can someone help me with multisync
[10:51] <linxeh> KazaLite: write the code yourself
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> KazaLite: if you release it too, ten folks might add stuff to your project and help you make it better
[10:51] <eventmaster> http://rafb.net/p/jSbo4X47.html this is my settings
[10:51] <bazhang> KazaLite, this is offtopic here.
[10:51] <linxeh> KazaLite: or sell support to your code etc, but go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:51] <scuser> ActionParsnip: so could you help me how to fix the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/40864/ ?
[10:51] <justin__> Dzero, what do you think?
[10:52] <KazaLite> ok...join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> scuser: do you have the module it asks for?
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> KazaLite: try /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:52] <nnull> so what do you think ActionParsnip, think the drive is buggered?
[10:52] <KazaLite> thanks:)
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> nnull: sounds like its on its way out. Doesnt help its sol overloaded
[10:53] <scuser> ActionParsnip: yes, aptitude search lustre gives "i   lustre-ldiskfs                                         - ldiskfs backend file system"
[10:53] <Dzero> justin__, not sure. Should there really be a space after the =?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> scuser: hmm, it it modprobed?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> scuser: ive never set this up
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> scuser: http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.lustre.user/2007-01/msg00006.html
[10:54] <justin__> I tried without the space and it said this....:-( "/dev/hdc=/home/justin/Desktop/TigerWoods.iso": unexpected errno:No such file or directory
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> justin__: what you trying to do?
[10:55] <Dzero> burn the iso to his dvd
[10:55] <justin__> burn a 360 iso on to a dual layer disc
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> justin__: k3b gnomebaker etc?
[10:56] <justin__> copy that into the terminal?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> justin__: no those are apps to use to burn cds
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> and other optical media
[10:57] <Dzero> i think he's using options not supported by the gui's
[10:57] <justin__> think that would work also for the 360 iso to the dual layer disc?
[10:58] <justin__> but my friend uses the same command in the same gui
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> justin__: should be fine yes
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> !burn | justin__
[10:59] <Dzero> ActionParsnip, he's using -use-the-force-luke options though does k3b or the others support this?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> justin__: id use those or get your buddy to email you the command he uses
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> Dzero: no idea man, sorry
[10:59] <Dzero> justin__, you sure your dvd writer is /dev/hdc?
[10:59] <justin__> i have no clue if that supports it
[10:59] <Dzero> i doubt it
[11:00] <justin__> thats what I am saying I dont know how to find out where my dvd writers path is
[11:00] <Dzero> put a normal dvd in there
[11:00] <Dzero> then open it
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> justin__: file /dev/cdrom
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> justin__: should tell you
[11:01] <justin__> ok the dvd is in there....where will it say?
[11:01] <Dzero> dmesg
[11:01] <Dzero> check the last few lines
[11:01] <ceue_15_menggila> add fs ku ya<EMAIL_ADDRESS>     thank you   =)
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> justin__: the file /dev/cdrom is a symlink
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> or if you want help with dzero's thing: dmesg | tail
[11:02] <Dzero> he might have more then one drive though
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Dzero: true
[11:03] <NineTeen67Comet> Hello all, is it the /etc/hosts file or the /etc/hostname file that will reflect my boxes name on my network? I usually almost always add my computer name to hostname and the ip boxname.networkname.com boxname .. to my hosts file .. but got to thinking a minute ago where else I can tag things to make roaming the network easier?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> NineTeen67Comet: hostname
[11:03] <incorrect> hi, what group do you need to be in for the add/remove apps menu option to appear?
[11:03] <Dzero> actualy scrap the dmesg idea dmesg has no info about the device name
[11:03] <justin__> YES!!!!! ITS WORKING!!!!!
[11:03] <incorrect> or can i add a group
[11:03] <NineTeen67Comet> ActionParsnip: thank you much .. I like when I'm on the right track .. =)
[11:03] <justin__> you guys rock!!
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> NineTeen67Comet: hostname specifies hostname
[11:03] <incorrect> ideally i would like to add a group for add/remove apps
[11:03] <template_> dobarden
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> NineTeen67Comet: hosts allows you to add ip resolutions locally
[11:04] <Dzero> justin__, you didnt have a blank disk in before?
[11:04] <justin__> i did
[11:04] <justin__> but
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Dzero: haha
[11:04]  * Dzero bangs head on desk
[11:04] <NineTeen67Comet> ActionParsnip: that's what I've always assumed .. I almost always fill out my hosts with all my machines ip address, boxname.domain boxname info anyhow .. seems to make looking around the network quicker ..
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> NineTeen67Comet: indeed it can
[11:05] <FuRom> I just downloaded Open Office 3.0 beta, and it was a tar ball full of .deb files inside a folder labeled "DEBS", it also has a couple of other folders, and one file labeled "update"... the update file appears to be some sort of script... I was just wondering, how should I go about installing this?
[11:05] <justin__> I figured out that it wasnt dev/hdc it was dev/sr0
[11:05] <NineTeen67Comet> ActionParsnip: Thanks much none the less, I just had a minute and it's a question that's burned in the back of my mind from my Gentoo days and could have "sworn" the hostname file is where my machine showed it's colors on the network ..
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> FuRom: sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> FuRom: make sure your working dir is that folder
[11:06]  * NineTeen67Comet watches XMOTO update levels .. for ever
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> FuRom: you could just get it from repos
[11:06] <FuRom> ActionParsnip, thanks.
[11:06] <Dzero> justin__, cool
[11:06] <justin__> but anyway once again thanks Dzero and Actionparsnip
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> justin__: np bro, help where yu can
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> *you
[11:08] <FuRom> ActionPasnip, I should be doing "sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb" inside the folder with all the debian files, right?
[11:08] <rw> i, I want to run something by you guys. I have set up "ufw" using "gufw".  I added ufw to "sessions". Am I correct to think that next time I start my computer, ufw will be correctly configured and running the background?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> FuRom: yes and it will install the deb files
[11:08] <FuRom> ActionParsnip, thanks a million ^_^
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> FuRom: if they need deps run sudo apt-get -f install
[11:08] <justin__> the other thing is I have been mencoding mkv files to avi so I can watch high def movies on my PS3 but for some reason they dont want to seem to play anyone had this issue? its a standard xvid avi file
[11:09] <FuRom> ActionParsnip, I think all the deps are actually in here with them.
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> FuRom: nice

[11:14] <wols> sure, ubuntu server install
[11:14] <Nom-> hmm almost there... pam_ldap has a host authorization list, which is 99% of what i'm after... the other 1% is being able to configure where that data comes from, since our existing ldap schema can't accomodate it :(
[11:14] <bazhang> !minimal

[11:16] <ActionParsnip> PenguinLover: indeed. but you can enable apt-get with it
[11:16] <PenguinLover> i am a pain and so picky sorry
[11:16] <PenguinLover> with puppylinux?
[11:16] <PenguinLover> then i can add gnome right?

[11:19] <Savion> Okay
[11:20] <Kira> Which runlevel is tomcat usually started in? I want to run the latest Tomcat 6, which is not available from the release repositories, so I have to create my own link in one of the runlevel directories.
[11:20] <NineTeen67Comet> Savion: since your installation of Ubuntu isn't "really" installed you might be better to just re-install it. I've never used Wubi but your error seems to point to it's use of ram in some way.
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Savion: ive never seen that error
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> Savion: did you md5 check your stuff before you installed it?
[11:21]  * NineTeen67Comet what ActionParsnip said =)
[11:21] <Bobuido> hi
[11:21] <wols> ActionParsnip: it is no error
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> hi Bobuido
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> wols: ?
[11:22] <Bobuido> hi ActionParsnip
[11:22] <wols> Savion: there is an error BEFORE the stuff you pasted. which leads to busybox starting
[11:22] <Bobuido> Is it a bad idea to install Firefox 2 and 3
[11:22] <Savion> wols; alright
[11:22] <Bobuido> I'm getting real sick of 2 but would like to keep it around
[11:22] <NineTeen67Comet> Bobuido: no you can run them both .. they may use the same .mozilla directory, but I had both for a long time .. (Google Browser Sync doesn't work with v3)
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> Bobuido: you an install then both if you wish
[11:23] <Bobuido> any tips / pages for doing it properly?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Bobuido: ive got 3 working great with sufficient plugins on amd64

[11:23] <benjamin> I have a file that no matter what I do with it, bash pretends it doesn't exist when I try to run it. any idea's?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> NineTeen67Comet: sudo apt-get --purge remove evolution
[11:24] <H__> searchpath, is it executable ?
[11:24] <jrib> benjamin: provide the shell commands and output that lead you to that conclusion
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: is it chmodded to be executable?
[11:24] <Bobuido> Are there any problems with them using the same path?
[11:24] <jrib> !paste > benjamin
[11:24] <benjamin> yes, hold
[11:24] <Savion> wols: alright how do I fix this?
[11:24] <wols> !pm | Savion
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> Bobuido: not that ive experienced
[11:25] <NineTeen67Comet> ActionParsnip: I used to remove evolution but it takes ubuntu-desktop with it, and for some reason on "some" updates it replaces evolution, so now, I just toss it from my menu and play ignorant .. :( .. I miss installs that you walked through every piece .. but I don't miss all the setup ..
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> NineTeen67Comet: wow really. crazy
[11:25] <benjamin> see http://paste.ubuntu.com/40872/

[11:25] <adilson> hi im setting up a low end comp for someone else to use, their account is unprivilidge but i need to use sudo is there a way for me to use it without loggin into my account?
[11:25] <jrib> benjamin: . is a symlink to the current directory.  So './usr/bin/junglediskmonitor
[11:26] <jrib> benjamin: . is a symlink to the current directory.  So './usr/bin/junglediskmonitor' means ~/usr/bin/junglediskmonitor
[11:26] <NineTeen67Comet> ActionParsnip: I sat up real late one night in here (months ago) trying to work through tossing evolution w/out tossing ubuntu-desktop and having it re-install later .. never got it, and gave up ..
[11:26] <wols> NineTeen67Comet: instaall a dummy evolution package and put it on hold
[11:26] <benjamin> removing the .
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> adilson: make another account that can sudo
[11:26] <benjamin> produces the same error
[11:26] <jrib> benjamin: pastebin
[11:26] <NineTeen67Comet> wols: I never thought about that .. going to look into that one ..
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: is the script executable?
[11:27] <wols> NineTeen67Comet: equivs for a dummy package
[11:27] <benjamin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/40874/
[11:27] <benjamin> updated
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: chmod u+x ./sciptname>
[11:27] <NineTeen67Comet> wols: so .. sudo aptitude equivs evolution?
[11:27] <adilson> ActionParsnip: that is nto what im asking i already have an account the uses sudo but i want to use my sudo privilidge on their account so i can set the desktop up for them instead of loggign into my account all the times
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> adilson: ok:
[11:28] <jrib> benjamin: what happens when you don't su first?
[11:28] <benjamin> ActionParsnip - changes nothing
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> adilson: su <username that can sudo>
[11:28] <benjamin> same thing
[11:28] <benjamin> i'm so lost at why it pretends the file doesn't exist only when i execute it
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> adilson: type your password, you are now the more powerful user
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> adilson: you can su back to the limited user or you can close the terminal and the user will be limited once more
[11:29] <adilson> ActionParsnip: oh thanx will try hopefully that will work but the file permission will belong to them, I hope it does otherwise back to square 1
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> adilson: you can sudo so you can do anything
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: is this a bash script?
[11:30] <sylvia> hi - I just have a question
[11:31] <adilson> ActionParsnip: ok but what about the file permission, i wish to change a file but have that file with their permission, do i have to change permission afterwards manually or it keeps the user account permission?
[11:31] <benjamin> ActionParsnip - nope
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: what is it?
[11:31] <jrib> benjamin: what arch are you on?
[11:31] <benjamin> amd64
[11:31] <sylvia> I am not a techno-geek :D  I am a (reformed) windows user - self taught - I use my computer to play games, watch movies, surf the internet, do my homework etc.  is kubuntu right for this?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> adilson: edit the file, then use sudo chown <limited users username> <file to change ownership>
[11:32] <benjamin> and another thing thats odd, is if I leave the computer idling for awhile, the screen goes and nothing Ican do gets it back
[11:32] <benjamin> goes black*
[11:32] <benjamin> without hard reboot
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> sylvia: yeah should be fine
[11:32] <adilson> ActionParsnip: ok im out going to change account
[11:32] <benjamin> but I didn't have these problems on the original release, only after updates
[11:32] <jrib> benjamin: you are missing some file that junglediskmonitor looks for probably.  It's not that junglediskmonitor is missing.  Are you sure you can run it?
[11:33] <sylvia> I ask this because I installed ubuntu, and the display was skewed badly so I installed kubuntu - or rather did the apt-get command... and am running kde - and games still do not work properly and I cannot play dvd's its just getting very frustrating
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> jrib: rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8471118 2008-08-27 06:20 /usr/bin/junglediskmonitor
[11:33] <jrib> ActionParsnip: hmm?
[11:34] <benjamin> I can 777 it, nothing changes
[11:34] <jrib> ActionParsnip: I meant with dependencies and such
[11:34] <benjamin> its a stand alone program
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> jrib: true
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> jrib: what if you sudo execute it?
[11:34] <jrib> benjamin: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: can sudo execute it?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: what do you get from: file /usr/bin/junglediskmonitor
[11:36] <benjamin> ah
[11:36] <benjamin> jrib - that fixed
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> wtg jrib
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: looks like you got a 32bit app
[11:36] <benjamin> ah
[11:36] <benjamin> i thought those worked
[11:37] <benjamin> well it does but didn't realize needed thoes libs
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: not without all that stuff you just pulled down
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: no 64bit version?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> !junglediskmonitor
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> !find jungle

[11:40] <ActionParsnip> np bro
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> benjamin: does file junglediskmonitor say its 32bit?
[11:40] <benjamin> yea, didn't realize the 64bit wouldn't run it without those libs though
[11:40] <gsteinert> any ideas why my ubuntu box shuts itself down? it seems to get some sort of remote shutdownfrom root (like when you use the reboot command)

[11:48] <l3d> I am looking for a small clean music player that sits in the sys tray notification area and will work with the media keys on my keyboard any ideas?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> !mp3 | l3d
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> !player
[11:49] <l3d> yes but
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> l3d: kaffeine sits in the try, i use amarok but i love the xul interface to it
[11:50] <l3d> I dont need the huge gui that amarok has
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> l3d: rhythmbox is similar to xmms
[11:50] <white_eagle> ActionParsnip: ok, I fixed it
[11:50] <white_eagle> ActionParsnip: thanks very much
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> white_eagle: i simply websearched dude
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> l3d: vlc is pretty sweet and has a very clean interface
[11:52] <samphippen> how can i disable ubuntu from giving anyone who walks up to my machine root acess in recovery mode?
[11:53] <l3d> http://www.snapfiles.com/get/stpmp3.html     kinda like this one
[11:53] <l3d>  i miss that one but need one for linux
[11:53] <jrib> samphippen: there's not much point.  Anyone can just stick in a live cd, edit the grub line, or grab your hard drive anyway
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> samphippen: they wont get anything unless they know your password, you are a user
[11:53] <samphippen> ActionParsnip, I have encryption
[11:53] <white_eagle> bye
[11:54] <white_eagle> ActionParsnip: well, if i searched it would take ages I'm on a 56k connection this moment :(
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> white_eagle: ok np
[11:54] <white_eagle> bye
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> samphippen: then its encrypted with your password, just dont give it out
[11:54] <Kira> On a Linux system, what's the most recommended way to make Tomcat run as a daemon? jsvc?
[11:55] <samphippen> ActionParsnip, its encrypted with *A* password, not the same as my user password
[11:55] <vatts> ohai, i have question about styling in ubuntu hardy?
[11:55] <Kira> oops, wrong channel
[11:55] <RodMcKay> hi all! how can i force firefox 3 to remember user and password with ssl connections
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> samphippen: sounds like you are ok then
[11:56] <samphippen> ActionParsnip, I guess
[11:56] <samphippen> i just don't feel safe having the ability to get root without a password
[11:56] <vatts> I wanna make a notify baloon bigger ( if someone runs notify-send hi i want have bigger because it's small )
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> samphippen: you can set the root pass for extra security but you'll never need it as yuo have sudo
[11:57] <samphippen> ActionParsnip, will that prevent somone dropping to the root prompt at recovery?
[11:57] <linxeh> samphippen: then fix your physical security
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> samphippen: they will need your root pass I believe, try it
[11:57] <jrib> samphippen: if you are paranoid, set a bios password
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> samphippen: why are you so paranoid?
[11:58] <samphippen> ActionParsnip, because I just am
[11:58] <linxeh> if they have access to the machine you are screwed anyway. they could just rip the drive out and mount it from another machine, or boot the machine from CD or whatever
[11:58] <vatts> anyone help me?
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: not if the fs is encrypted
[11:58] <samphippen> I think its time to set a bios password
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> vatts: which baloon?
[11:58] <Slart> bios passwords can be bypassed too, samphippen
[11:58] <negge> samphippen: you really are paranoid
[11:58] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: depends what is encrypted, and where the keys are. if the machine can boot without encryption keys then only a subset of the data is encrypted anyway
[11:58] <vatts> ActionParsnip: try run notify-send "hai" and you'll see
[11:59] <vatts> if you haven't got libnotify-bin install it, ActionParsnip
[11:59] <jrib> Slart: what if he puts his box in a safe!?
[11:59] <linxeh> samphippen: what exactly have you got encrypted ?
[11:59] <chuy_max> hey guys do you know of any software to produce sound waves in ubuntu?
[11:59] <samphippen> linxeh, top level secrets
[11:59] <Bobb> hey guys.. i remember installing dapper from a windows installer or from within the livecd  which allowed me to modify the current windows partition so i could install ubuntu there. 8.04 doesn't give me this option.. am i doing something wrong?
[11:59] <linxeh> chuy_max: as in synthesis?
[11:59] <Slart> samphippen: and lets not forget.. they can put a bag over your head and tickle your feet until you tell them all your passwords..
[11:59] <negge> being able to login as root without a password in recovery mode is the least you should worry about when it comes to security. If some malevolent guy manages to sit down at your computer and wants to do something nsty with it he'll probably take the whole computer anyway...
[11:59] <samphippen> Slart, YAY FOR truecrypt-hidden-mode
[12:00] <chuy_max> linxeh: I want to specify frequency and hear that wave
[12:00] <linxeh> samphippen: if it was top secret stuff you'd be working in an acredited SCIF, so the chances are this wouldnt be an issue
[12:00] <Bobb> modify the partition meaning create a new linux partition out of the shortened windows partition
[12:00] <negge> chuy_max: you can do that easily with Audacity
[12:00] <samphippen> linxeh, i didn't say it was expensive top secret stuff
[12:00] <vatts> Bobb: search for "wubi" on cd
[12:00] <Slart> jrib: then they will just go in via a vent and use some high tech gear to hang in a wire from the ceiling (not dropping sweat drops on the pressure sensitive floor) and hack it from there.. =)
[12:00] <chuy_max> negge, oh really?, I'm downloading it right away
[12:00] <negge> chuy_max: just use the Generate Tone thing in the menus and choose which Hz you want it on
[12:01] <Slart> samphippen: you think truecrypt will save you when they start tickling?..
[12:01] <negge> chuy_max: it's really easy, I used it to test how deep base my speakers could play
[12:01] <negge> and how high too
[12:01] <linxeh> samphippen: if it is "top secret" then cost doesnt come into it, although maybe you didnt mean that
[12:01] <Bobb> vatts: but does this create a new linux partition?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> vatts: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=164233
[12:01] <samphippen> linxeh, its top secret to me, the individual
[12:01] <vatts> Bobb: wubi asks you all
[12:01] <samphippen> as it could be a major cashcow for me one day
[12:01] <Bobb> vatts: from the previous screen to that one is says it doesn't modify the windows partition, it just makes room for ubuntu
[12:03] <Slart> samphippen: if you just have some things you want to keep hidden use truecrypt.. they can still boot the system but your secret stuff will be a little harder to get
[12:03] <negge> remember guys, when installing new operating systems which in some way alter your partitions you should always back up your important files just inc ase anything goes wrong...
[12:03] <samphippen> Slart, if they start ticlking my feet I give them the password that opens the hidden volume
[12:03] <chuy_max> negge, do you think it is accurate?, I'm generating a 30khz wave and I can still hear it perfectly
[12:03] <samphippen> Slart, it has some old credit card numbers and stuff in there that are now invalid
[12:03] <gaurav__> negge you are exactly right
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> negge: should have a regular backup anyways
[12:04] <negge> chuy_max: I have no idea, maybe it depends on the bit-depth you chose for the track and what kind of sound card you have. If you put it to 440 Hz it sounds quite accurate to me (although I'm not that good at this)
[12:04] <Slart> samphippen: if someone comes after you they probably have a pretty good idea of what they are searching for.. I don't think they will stop because they find some credit card numbers.. but this is getting very very offtopic
[12:04] <chuy_max> negge, also it happens below 20 hz, humans are not supposed to hear below 20hz and above 20khz
[12:04] <negge> ActionParsnip: indeed
[12:05] <nesw> chuy_max: it's probably aliasing. that's beyond human hearing range and besides, you'd need >60khz sample rate for that
[12:05] <chuy_max> negge, mmm, I think you are right, probably it is my audio card
[12:05] <Bobb> so is there an a ubuntu installer that creates a linux partition from free windows space anymore?
[12:05] <chuy_max> nesw, :o
[12:05] <negge> chuy_max: well if you put it to 1 Hz and crank up the volume real high you'll see that th woofers are moving exactly once a second.
[12:05] <jrib> samphippen: actually, it would be a pretty good idea if you could have a "compromise-password" that if entered would delete all the data
[12:05] <chuy_max> that's interesting
[12:05] <Slart> Bobb: the regular one can shrink ntfs partitions, afaik
[12:05] <jrib> Bobb: the one on the desktop cd should be able to do that
[12:05] <samphippen> jrib, the problem with that is taht the could install a write blocker
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> negge: i love these idots with gigs of MP3s and zero backup. Then come whining and crying when the partition fails. Hilarious every time
[12:05] <samphippen> jrib, you really need to strap a magnesium flare to your drive for that kind of thing
[12:06] <negge> jrib: if someone went as far as to put a bag on his head and tickle his feet until he told them his password I think erasing all the data would make the situation way worse
[12:06] <Bobb> jrib: the livecd says "install and uninstall ubuntu like any other application, without the need for a dedicated partition.."
[12:06] <japheth> hi there, does any one know of a good alternative to DBDesigner, now that it no longer has an installation candidate in the repos?
[12:06] <jrib> Bobb: using hardy?
[12:06] <Slart> !away > Paro[Away]
[12:06] <Bobb> 8.04
[12:07] <negge> ActionParsnip: actually I only keep backups of my webserver files and some documents, I don't have space to back up 140 GBs of music. It's not that invaluable anyway, most of it is just there...
[12:07] <tinloaf> is there no mysql-development-header packet in hardy?
[12:07] <Bobb> jrib: rev 505
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> negge: all my files are on a smaba fileserver which is common to all my pcs. It then backs up to a 500Gb USB drive every 2 days
[12:07] <jrib> Bobb: did you boot from the cd?  i.e. you are not in windows?
[12:08] <ronin13> help plzzz...
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> !ask | ronin13
[12:08] <chuy_max> negge, :(, i'll have to wait til tomorrow to get another pair of speakers, this ones are protected by a cloth
[12:08] <ronin13> i am new in ubuntu
[12:08] <chuy_max> I want to see they moving at 1 hz
[12:08] <Bobb> jrib: i'm in windows now. but even when i try to boot from the livecd is takes me to a terminal. strange.
[12:08] <jrib> tinloaf: there is.  Don't know the name offhand, but poke me if you still can't find it
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> chuy_max: you can use a strobe light to see it as well
[12:08] <Bobb> jrib: dapper didn't do this IIRC
[12:09] <jrib> Bobb: try the alternate cd.   You do need to boot from the cd though
[12:09] <jrib> !alternate | Bobb
[12:09] <ronin13> and i have installed amsn, but when i am trying to change my picture there the pc reboots
[12:09] <OculusAquilae> hi
[12:09] <BoltClock> will intrepid continue to ship with pidgin or will it now include empathy instead?
[12:09] <chazco> Hi... how can I view my Ubuntu laptop (1024x600) on my desktop but use the full desktops resolution for it (1440x900)? Used to be able to do this on Windows with VNC or rdesktop, but the VNC stuff built into Ubuntu wont allow it
[12:09] <japheth> anyone know of a good alternative to DBDesigner?
[12:09] <OculusAquilae> Is there a ubuntu alternate-cd available containing only ubuntu-minimal?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> ronin13: wow crazy. never seen that one. I dont use amsn, you ried pidgin?
[12:09] <Bobb> ubottu: that's what i'll do then. thanks
[12:09] <wols> chazco: virtual screen sizes. X can do this
[12:09] <Bobb> jrib: thanks for the help
[12:09] <ronin13> yes
[12:10] <wols> !minimal | OculusAquilae
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> ronin13: any better?
[12:10] <chuy_max> ActionParsnip, ok, thanks for the suggestion
[12:10] <ronin13> but i think pidgin doesn't support video-chat
[12:10] <chazco> wols - Actually it cant... not in the newer versions. The latest X and modesetting intel driver dont allow virtual resolutions (tried that to make the laptop 1024x768, no luck at all)
[12:10] <quaal> how do i make the eject button work on my cd drive
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> ronin13: i wouldnt know that I dont use it
[12:10] <quaal> i have to sudo eject /dev/cdrom1
[12:11] <quaal> and thats kinda ridiculous
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> quaal: unmount it and press the button on the drive
[12:11] <ronin13> :-S
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> quaal: or right click the cd icon on desktop and select eject
[12:11] <lukosanthropos> quaal: you could change the permissions to the script
[12:11] <OculusAquilae> wols: it seems as there isn't ubuntu-minimal on the cd. I want to use this to build a custom install cd, containing only a few programs and using ubuntu-server and xubuntu-alterate is a bit wasting space
[12:11] <OlderGuy_> Hi anyone know how to increase the font sizes in the menu's of the opera web browser - without changing the screen resolution - I think my eyes are shrinking!
[12:12] <quaal> lukosanthropos, where is the script
[12:12] <OculusAquilae> wols: the debian netinstall cd for example has a minimal system on the cd buth not ubuntu-minimal i think
[12:12] <lukosanthropos> I want to install ubuntu on a machine with no cd drive, is there an easy way of installing ubuntu from a flash memory stick
[12:12] <wols> OculusAquilae: right. only the alternate cd then
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> !usblinux | lukosanthropos
[12:12] <Slart> !install | lukosanthropos
[12:13] <wols> !usb | lukosanthropos
[12:13] <yao_ziyuan> back again
[12:13] <BoltClock> lukosanthropos: or try http://www.pendrivelinux.com
[12:13] <gaurav__> ! networking
[12:13] <OculusAquilae> wols: do you know if I could remove packages. even xubuntu-alternate is ~570 MB large
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> lukosanthropos: or mandriva one :D
[12:13] <yao_ziyuan> if i want to install the latest unstable official tor,
[12:14] <yao_ziyuan> should i remove the "tor" ubuntu package first?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> OculusAquilae: you could remove packages from the iso i guess
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> yao_ziyuan: did you install from repos?
[12:14] <yao_ziyuan> ActionParsnip: yes
[12:14] <Slart> OlderGuy_: you can change the default font size in system, preferences, appearance, fonts, details.. large values for the dots per inch means larger characters
[12:14] <yao_ziyuan> ActionParsnip: but it's not the latest offcial
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> yao_ziyuan: then sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade will pull down and update the one you have
[12:14] <OculusAquilae> Or does somebody know a possibility to build an install iso from scratch?
[12:15] <OculusAquilae> and a tutorial :)
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> yao_ziyuan: then if you are using a deb id remove the old
[12:15] <yao_ziyuan> ActionParsnip: i mean, ubuntu repos' latest tor isn't the official latest at torproject.org
[12:15] <ronin13> do you know which is the best media player for ubuntu? I have a bunch of 3gp vids that totem plays with no sound...
[12:15] <porncake> !best
[12:15] <nnull> anyone know where id go for learning how to re-write a routers firmware?
[12:15] <chazco> wols - Actually it cant... not in the newer versions. The latest X and modesetting intel driver dont allow virtual resolutions (tried that to make the laptop 1024x768, no luck at all)

[12:16] <OlderGuy_> slart --many thanks will try:)
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> ronin13: there is no "best" or we'd all use it. One person will say one, one will say another player is better
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> OculusAquilae: http://www.linuxfortravelers.com/how-to-make-a-linux-live-cd
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> ronin13: all players can play all formats, you just need codecs
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | ronin13
[12:17] <ronin13> where cani find them?
[12:17] <eventmaster> can somebody another programm for synchronizing but not multisync
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> ronin13: read what ubottu said
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> eventmaster: rsync
[12:17] <ronin13> thnx
[12:17] <eventmaster> my mulitsync isn't working
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> !find sync
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> !multisync
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> !rsync
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> screw it
[12:18] <OculusAquilae> ActionParsnip: I'm thinking about an alternate-cd not a live cd
[12:18] <ben34> Hi i have a ubuntu server which i want to run mainly a fileserver but use ldap users to allow intergration with other applications, i have followed many guides but the system is not working has anyone had experience setting a similar system up or have a guide that will help would be great
[12:18] <ben34> I just don't want to use a windows server
[12:18] <eventmaster> yes i want to sync my addresbook and my sms of my mobile phone nokia 3500 classic
[12:18] <OculusAquilae> ActionParsnip: we speak of really slow computers here :)
[12:19] <orgthingy> how can i know status of my network/wireless?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> OculusAquilae: i have slow computers
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: ifconfig
[12:19] <gyaresu> I've tried 'apt-get remove --purge apache2' and then reinstall and I've tried 'dpkg-reconfigure apache2' but I can't seem to get it to put back the default apache2.conf file in /etc/apache2/
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: and iwconfig
[12:19] <orgthingy> ifconfig doesnt do anything useful :P
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: it shows the ip addressing of your interfaces
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> iwconfig shows the wireless config
[12:20] <orgthingy> i mean
[12:20] <orgthingy> how can I know what other people in same wireless network are doing?
[12:20] <xintron> I can't watch movies online in firefox anymore, what might be the problem?
[12:20] <orgthingy> im worrying about my little sister doing "wrong stuff" in internet
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: ask your router
[12:21] <japheth> sorry to repeat my question, but does anyone know of a good alternative to DBDesigner?
[12:21] <orgthingy> ActionParsnip : exactly :P ?
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: enable monitoring in your router, and logging
[12:21] <orgthingy> thats what i want to do
[12:21] <orgthingy> but i dont know how
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: rtfm
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: it varies massively from router to router
[12:22] <OculusAquilae> ActionParsnip: Should be used as E-Mail terminals in Africa near Kilimanjaro
[12:22] <orgthingy> ActionParsnip : but, are there any programs? and, whats most common?
[12:22] <orgthingy> ive never been into networking
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: btw "orgthingy: how can i know status of my network/wireless?" doesnt mean what we actually worked out you meant
[12:22] <linkmaster03> What are the keys referred to as "Button1"?
[12:23] <jrib> linkmaster03: usually left-click on your mouse
[12:23] <japheth> linkmaster03: "Button1" usually refers to your left mouse button
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: you need to enable it in your router, rtfm. if it doesnt do it then buy a new one that does
[12:23] <bazhang> orgthingy, what is the issue
[12:23] <linkmaster03> japheth, japheth: thank you
