[04:42] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: ok.. type sudo chown <your_user_name>:<your_user_name> /media/disk
[04:42] <Delryk> grep '\<[^aeiou]*[aeiou][^aeiou]*\>' f3.txt
[04:42] <Delryk> thats the old one
[04:42] <joeb3_> sugarmagnolia, did you use the full path?
[04:42] <leaf-sheep> Boogerslinger_: Change Vista to XP in the said question. ;o
[04:42] <sugarmagnolia> no... i can try that, but i know it's in my path
[04:43] <GBGames> scunizi: I even added my IP to the DMZ on my router, so it can't be a forwarded ports thing...huh.
[04:43] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: don't use the <'s
[04:43] <Delryk> \nanotube hey
[04:43] <Delryk> hmm
[04:43] <Delryk> how do i whisper ?
[04:43] <sugarmagnolia> joeb3_: actually, even with that custom entry for vlc in there, it still launches totem, so i'm not sure this is the right place.
[04:43] <nanotube> Delryk: /msg
[04:43] <scunizi> GBGames: did you just install? and did you do all the updates?
[04:43] <nanotube> Delryk: or /query for a private chat
[04:43] <crohakon> Okay, next question? How do I do that neat 3d cube thing =)
[04:44] <Delryk> lol
[04:44] <Delryk> nano can u inv me to private ?
[04:44] <GBGames> scunizi: Well, I had tried to configure it some time ago, but I found that my old router didn't let me forward ports. Now I have a new router, and I'm trying again.
[04:44] <nanotube> Delryk: we're already there...
[04:44] <nanotube> Delryk: didn't you get my response?
[04:44] <Delryk> yeah i noticed
[04:44] <scunizi> GBGames: which version of ekiga?
[04:44] <nanotube> Delryk: ok :)
[04:44] <GBGames> 2.0.12
[04:45] <scunizi> GBGames: what version of ubuntu?
[04:45] <RPG_Master> Why can't I watch Quicktime videos in firefox?
[04:45] <Cyrano_De> Anyone know how to get Nexuiz to play nice with dual screens?
[04:45] <GBGames> scunizi: When I check the about page, it says "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu
[04:45] <GBGames>                 - the  - released in .
[04:45] <GBGames> 				"
[04:46] <GBGames> But I believe it is the version of Ubuntu previous to the latest.
[04:46] <GBGames> scunizi: Ah, here we go. Update Manager says that I can upgrade to 9.04, so I must have the previous version, 8.10, if I remember correctly.
[04:47] <scunizi> GBGames: k.. that's an OLD version of ekiga.. they are up to 3.5.x and it looks MUCH nicer.. I'll see if I can find a ppa link for the download..
[04:47] <vangorra> Hey all. I'm running karmic. When I login, trackerd is eating all my disk IO it takes minutes to login. Any ideas?
[04:47] <cap> RPG_Master: You just need to tell firefox what to do with .mov
[04:47] <RPG_Master> cap: I'll try that
[04:48] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi that worked thank you
[04:48] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi how ??
[04:48] <leaf-sheep> !karmic | vangorra
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Delryk: Why the "[^a-z]*" ? That will make it pretty much only match words that start with "b"
[04:49] <vangorra> leaf-sheep, thanks
[04:49] <cedriczg> vangorra, If you want you can turn off that service for your startup services
[04:49] <vangorra> cedriczg, I know, I was just curious what could be going on
[04:49] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: what you did was to make the disk owner "you" instead of whoever it was assigned to .. probably "root" or admin in windows speak
[04:49] <RPG_Master> cap: mov is not listed :(
[04:49] <cedriczg> vangorra, It happens to me as well whenever I have new data on my machine
[04:50] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi so how do i learn to do that without help ???
[04:50] <Flannel> Jordan_U: No, that means it doesn't match lowercase letters
[04:50] <cap> RPG_Master: well, not sure.. just checked and mine does it... so. Just a sec.
[04:50] <cedriczg> vangorra, Like lets say new images, mail, etc
[04:50] <leaf-sheep> Boogerslinger_: Search engines helped. Everybody here is not armed with knowledge instantly.  We learned it by facing the problems ourselves once and whatnot.
[04:51] <Jordan_U> Flannel: True, but it's still not part of his stated requirements
[04:51] <cedriczg> vangorra, It's what it is meant to do. If you prefer you can update the database for locate when you want and use locate command instead of tracerd
[04:51] <fizk_> hey guys, what's wrong with this line:   find .|xargs grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g'
[04:51] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: one command at a time .. here.. on www.ubuntuforums.org and you might consider downloading the pdf for the ubuntu quick reference guide.. I'll see if I can find the link
[04:51] <Flannel> Delryk: You should move this regular expression stuff to #ubuntu-offtopic.  This isn't really a proper channel for it. thanks.
[04:51] <cedriczg> fizk_, what are you trying to do?
[04:51] <cap> RPG_Master: May be that you just dont' have codec for mov  You could install mplayer
[04:52] <fizk_> cedriczg: run sed on some files
[04:52] <fizk_> cedriczg: replace inline
[04:52] <cap> RPG_Master: Which will in turn intall a lot of extra codecs
[04:52] <cedriczg> try to run the commands pipe after pipe
[04:52] <RPG_Master> cap: I already have mplayer installed :(
[04:52] <scunizi> GBGames: here is it.. read carefully.. there's a link to click for releases prior to 9.10.. https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive/ekiga-stable-prerelease
[04:52] <GBGames> scunizi: Thanks!
[04:52] <cedriczg> fizk_, try to run the commands one by one and start adding the pipes
[04:53] <fizk_> cedriczg: i did
[04:53] <KnifeySpooney> Hi, how do I force apt-get to download the files (-d switch) when the package is already installed?
[04:53] <KnifeySpooney> Right now it just says 0 to upgrade/0 to install/0 to remove
[04:53] <cedriczg> fizk_, maybe you are trying "find ./xargs grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g"
[04:53] <dajhorn> KnifeySpooney: Add --reinstall
[04:53] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: ok.. here it is.. the link is right of  dead center at the top http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html
[04:54] <cedriczg> fizk_, sorry...maybe you are trying "find ./xargs | grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g"
[04:54] <scunizi> GBGames: enjoy!
[04:54] <cap> RPG_Master: How about vlc?
[04:54] <fizk_> cedriczg: nope
[04:54] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi thank you very much man
[04:54] <cap> RPG_Master: Have you run xine yet?
[04:54] <dajhorn> KnifeySpooney: You may already have the deb in the /var/cache/apt directory somewhere.
[04:54] <cedriczg> fizk_, I see xargs is a command...
[04:54] <fizk_> cedriczg:  can you try it?
[04:55] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: everyone has to start somewhere!.. also on B&N or Amazon are lots of ubuntu books
[04:55] <KnifeySpooney> dajhorn: Yeah i know, i'm trying to move over some installed debs to my other computer
[04:55] <RPG_Master> strange, this won't work: http://www.apple.com/imac/the-new-imac/#small
[04:55] <cedriczg> try sed -sirn
[04:55] <crohakon> okay... so how the heck do I run the currently installed vista on my other hard drive via virtual host? And if I do so, am I going to f it up?
[04:55] <KnifeySpooney> dajhorn: Would you happen to know how to do the same thing with build-dep?
[04:55] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi cool thank you
[04:55] <KnifeySpooney> dajhorn: woops, i mean apt-get build-dep
[04:55] <RPG_Master> but this will: http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/wherethewildthingsare/
[04:55] <Jordan_U> fizk_: That command will run "grep -l 'a'" on all of the files from find, and pass the output from that to sed. Is that what you want?
[04:55] <cedriczg> fizk_, try sed -sirn
[04:55] <RPG_Master> :O
[04:56] <cedriczg> fizk_, not sure what -sir option do, but maybe option -n does what you are expecting
[04:56] <leaf-sheep> KnifeySpooney: You can use "cd ~/Desktop ; sudo aptitude download pidgin" and it'll download the .deb for you on Desktop ;o
[04:56] <scunizi> crohakon: you can't run an already install version of windows in a vm.. you have to install it in the vm
[04:56] <KnifeySpooney> leaf-sheep: I need dependencies too
[04:56] <fizk_> cedriczg: n makes it quiet
[04:56] <fizk_> ?
[04:57] <crohakon> scunizi; oh, damn, thats not what I was told a little bit ago. blah
[04:57] <leaf-sheep> !clone | KnifeySpooney
[04:57] <dajhorn> KnifeySpooney: There are apt-* helper packages to move debs to disconnected computer.  Look at something like apt-zip.
[04:57] <dsnyders> So... chipcardd4?  Useless waste of CPU?
[04:57] <cedriczg> fizk_, let me check
[04:57] <leaf-sheep> !aptoncd | KnifeySpooney
[04:57] <carpediem> scunizi, crohakon: you can convert a standard disk into a VM.
[04:57] <cedriczg> fizk_, " suppress automatic printing of pattern space"
[04:57] <cap> RPG_Master: Flash Player (Adobe)?
[04:58] <KnifeySpooney> leaf-sheep: Thanks. I read of that earlier (i'm trying to help someone in the forums) and it's already been suggested by someone else
[04:58] <crohakon> carpediem; and what does that mean and how will that effect the installation of vista? Would I still be able to boot into it via grub later/
[04:58] <KnifeySpooney> but this guy seemed to be interested in my way
[04:58] <[1]SpaceGhost> Good evening friends.
[04:59] <leaf-sheep> KnifeySpooney: I see.
[04:59] <scunizi> carpediem: crohakon that's true.. vmware makes a converter but be aware that if you do that and leave your other install.. once the converted file is "activated" with microsoft in the vm then the other install will not be active anymore.. you can run the same copy of windows on two machines which is what you will be essentially doing.
[04:59] <carpediem> crohakon: you boot into a LiveCD, then convert an unmounted disk to a VM.  What you do is up to you.  You could save it somewhere, install something else onto that disk, then use it as a VM there.
[04:59] <howitzer`> Good morning freundling.
[04:59] <RPG_Master> cap: Does this work for you? http://www.apple.com/imac/the-new-imac/#small
[04:59] <coyo> hello, i just installed ubuntu onto a computer built from scratch, and i wish to enable an ati radeon hd 4870 card, which does not seem to be detected. i am able to use onboard video. how do i use the card with ubuntu?
[04:59] <scunizi> crohakon: carpediem *can't run two
[04:59] <boysen> need help to set up vanity ip
[05:00] <boysen> can set up vanity without owning a domain name?
[05:00] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: what do you mean? A static IP?
[05:00] <crohakon> carpediem; does not seem worth the trouble. I guess I am just going to leave vista installed on the other hard drive and when I need to use office for work I will just boot it up.
[05:00] <boysen> alias ip
[05:00] <boysen> like  hahaha.org
[05:00] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Do you mean a domain name? You'd need a domain, or use dyndns.org.
[05:00] <scunizi> crohakon: what do you do in office that absolutely needs ms office?
[05:01] <carpediem> crohakon: up to you.  Clonezilla is the software to do it, if you decide to
[05:01] <boysen> i see
[05:01] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: That is called a Domain name, it's not a license plate. Domain name.
[05:01] <firdau5> hi all
[05:01] <cedriczg> fizk_, Again... which was the command you are trying?
[05:01] <firdau5> I got a problem
[05:01] <crohakon> scunizi; I use it to create menus and sell sheets.
[05:01] <boysen> if i have a domain name can i use that alias name on mirc?
[05:01] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Your options are thus: Buy a domain, or use dyndns.com.
[05:01] <firdau5> I cant play *.wmv files
[05:02] <scunizi> crohakon: graphics work and a little spreadsheets?
[05:02] <evilaim> lefty
[05:02] <evilaim> you should see this desktop
[05:02] <evilaim> haha
[05:02] <fizk_> cedriczg: brb
[05:02] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Is the point just to have a special name in IRC?
[05:02] <carpediem> zoneedit = free dns, I've used it for free for 8 years.
[05:02] <scunizi> crohakon: what's a "sell sheet"?
[05:02] <DaZ> firdau5: codecs
[05:02] <boysen> nope
[05:02] <boysen> :P
[05:02] <firdau5> Its says mss2 codecs missing
[05:02] <coyo> firdau5: you can enable wmv playing capability with the ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[05:02] <boysen> just want to learn how to set up vanity ip
[05:02] <firdau5> DaZ, can you help me?
[05:02] <Flannel> boysen: What do you mean by vanity ip?
[05:02] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Buy a domain name, or use dyndns.
[05:03] <firdau5> tell me the details coyo,
[05:03] <[1]SpaceGhost> Boysen: learn the nomanclature, it's called a domain.
[05:03] <crohakon> scunizi; For restaurants. The problem I have is that the work computers use office2007, so if I want to do any work at home I need to use office as openoffice and other alternatives murder xdoc files.
[05:03] <Flannel> [1]SpaceGhost: Please be polite
[05:03] <leaf-sheep> crohakon: Save the files as .doc
[05:03] <coyo> firdau5: okay, what you do is click on System > Administration > Synaptic
[05:03] <crohakon> The formatting also gets murdered with .doc files.
[05:04] <firdau5> ok.. then?
[05:04] <scunizi> crohakon: yea.. and office 2003 & 2000 also do the same thing.. how 'bout installing OpenOffice on the work machine and you'd be set in both worlds?
[05:04] <coyo> firdau5: then type "restricted" in the search bar
[05:04] <crohakon> Its just that the alternatives, although close, still kill the over all flow of the documents.
[05:04] <firdau5> ok.. then?
[05:04] <coyo> select the "ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and install them
[05:04] <[1]SpaceGhost> flannel: I was, I was letting him know to learn the nomanclature, as the terms are not interchangable. I'd appreciate it if you'd apply the thought that humor doesn't translate on the internet to my messages. Don't assume I'm being rude.
[05:05] <coyo> you should be able to play wmv container formatted a/v fine then
[05:05] <firdau5> ubuntu-restricted-extras.. ok
[05:05] <Flannel> [1]SpaceGhost: Exactly.  Humor doesn't translate.  Don't be condescending of people because they're new.
[05:05] <coyo> yup
[05:05] <boysen> that's very deep spaceghost :P
[05:05] <coyo> let me know if it works or not
[05:05] <boysen> i cant dig it :P
[05:05] <crohakon> scunizi; And I should expect the other employees to convert just for me? And also, to be honest, I have attempted to create duplicate documents in open office from scratch just to see how they turn out and open office just does not compare. Its hard to explain without showing.
[05:06] <cedriczg> fizk_, would "find .|xargs grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g' " do what you are looking for?
[05:06] <[1]SpaceGhost> Flannel, I think you need to back off a bit friend. I wasn't being rude, thank you for your opinion though.
[05:06] <Flannel> boysen: What is it you want to set up?
[05:06] <befamous> hi
[05:06] <firdau5> waiting to downloading files
[05:06] <boysen> my ftp i cannot connect in my other computer and i want to learn how to set up vanity ip
[05:06] <boysen> vhost ip
[05:07] <Flannel> boysen: You want to connect to something like ihaveadomain.com?
[05:07] <befamous> im trying to get a fullscreen on tty1 - but i cant find any doc
[05:07] <boysen> yap
[05:07] <boysen> yap
[05:07] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: Oh man, it still doesn't work....
[05:07] <Help1> hi anyone here
[05:07] <fizk_> cedriczg:  find . -type f -exec sed -ir 's/a/ hello/g' {} \;
[05:07] <Flannel> boysen: There's two separate issues there.  One is connecting (which you'll need to set up port forwarding for) and then the domain name is another one.  You should be able to connect just fine using the IP (assuming everything's set up properly)
[05:07] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: maybe the UUID WASN"T involve in this kind of situation..
[05:07] <cedriczg> fizk_, Yes that may execute that command on those files
[05:07] <Help1> iam getting a grub error how do i reconfigure  to boot again
[05:08] <fizk_> cedriczg:  thanks, it works :)
[05:08] <Help1> iam on live ct
[05:08] <Help1> cd
[05:08] <Flannel> boysen: As far as a vanity domain name, dyndns will do it for free, it's probably your best bet
[05:08] <evilaim> Man I'm a geek
[05:08] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, what do you see on the screen of that computer
[05:08] <scunizi> crohakon: having worked in both worlds I know what you're up against.. OOo draw is better for layout then the wordprocessor but won't translate.. scribus is a great desktop publishing program and works on both platforms .. but.. it's tough teaching something new and if there are others (didn't know that).. it makes it that much more difficult.
[05:08] <josh> alsa-lib no longer exists on ubuntu?
[05:08] <boysen> yesterday i can connect to my box via ftp today i cant connection refuse
[05:09] <Flannel> boysen: Ah.  Did you restart your box?
[05:09] <ae86-drifter> boysen: u connected to it boefre/
[05:09] <Help1> anyone know ho to retrieve the grub/menu.lst
[05:09] <ae86-drifter> sorry, have you connected to it in the past?
[05:09] <boysen> yap yeterday
[05:09] <crohakon> scunizi; what is scribus?
[05:09] <boysen> today i  cannot connect
[05:09] <ae86-drifter> k yeah restart it check all your settings
[05:09] <scunizi> Help1: retrieve?  it's located at /boot/grub/menu.list or .lst
[05:10] <ae86-drifter> its pretty straight forawrd normally
[05:10] <Flannel> boysen: What probably happened is your box got a new IP (on the subnet) so your port forwarding doesn't work anymore.  You're behind a router, right?
[05:10] <Help1> iam on live cd at the moment what is the procedure
[05:10] <cedriczg> Help1, cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:10] <dsnyders> Help1, what are you trying to do?
[05:10] <phil_fl> !info scribus | crohakon
[05:10] <boysen> yap im using seimen
[05:11] <Help1> somehow my grub got corrupted
[05:11] <scunizi> crohakon: it's a full desktop publishing program.. you can do magazines, newspapers, flyers menus, business cards etc.. with print ready PDF output in cmyk etc.. there's even a book on amazon for it.. it takes a while to get use to but is really fantastic.. also their irc at #scribus is very helpful.. most times I end up talking to the author.
[05:11] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you try "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" on terminal ?
[05:11] <Flannel> boysen: Righ, try setting up a static IP on your box, that way the port forwards will always work: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/internet/C/connecting-wired.html#connecting-wired-manual
[05:11] <coyo> firdou5: how are you coming along?
[05:11] <Help1> yes it didnt work
[05:12] <crohakon> scunizi; And it is also for windows?
[05:12] <ae86-drifter> boysen: has ur server box got a dedicated IP
[05:12] <scunizi> crohakon: yep.. a good companion program for creating svg graphics etc is inkscape
[05:12] <cedriczg> Help1, That way you can look what it has on it
[05:13] <coyo> firdou5: hilight my name when you are done installing and have tried it
[05:13] <Help1> its telling me no such file or directorey
[05:13] <crohakon> scunizi; just installed it, I will check it out.
[05:13] <firdau5> coyo, I got same problem
[05:13] <boysen> im using dsl connection
[05:13] <cedriczg> Help1, Try to see if you have this file /boot/grub/menu.lst~
[05:14] <scunizi> crohakon: there's usually two versions in the repos.. one ending in -ng .. -ng is typically the more recent version
[05:14] <cedriczg> Help1, That would be a backup
[05:14] <firdau5> coyo : still cant play the files
[05:14] <coyo> awww
[05:14] <coyo> that's interesting, it always worked for me
[05:14] <boysen> dedicated ip?
[05:14] <scunizi> crohakon: they also have a repo for ubuntu to get the absolute latest.. sometimes it's worth it..
[05:14] <ae86-drifter> boysen: i thought it was a remote server, so it is on your internal network??
[05:14] <firdau5> No suitable decoder module:
[05:14] <firdau5> VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[05:14] <Help1> do i need to mount the disk first to get to it
[05:15] <crohakon> scunizi; I used the add/remove programs option under the applocations menu, will that get me the latest?
[05:15] <coyo> try opening it with totem
[05:15] <BoxMagnet> Help1, absolutely.
[05:15] <cedriczg> Help1, Yes. But you can try to do the changes using a Live CD
[05:15] <boysen> i have problem with remote access but internal it's okey
[05:16] <josh> How do I install alsa-lib from command line?  I run 'sudo apt-get install alsa-lib' and I get the error "package alsa-lib does not exist"
[05:16] <scunizi> crohakon: no.. use synaptic or scribus' repos ... it is a mental shift to use scribus.. don't expect to do things like in a word processor or MS Publisher.. it's different..
[05:16] <ae86-drifter> boysen: oh k well make sure you forward port 21 to the internal ip of your server, then u should be able to access it externally
[05:16] <boysen> ic  i will go to my network modem to check it
[05:16] <dsnyders> cedriczg, /boot/grub/menu.lst would be the menu.lst on the live CD, not the corrupted one.
[05:16] <boysen> the port forwarding
[05:16] <ae86-drifter> yes
[05:17] <cedriczg> dsnyders, Yes you are right
[05:17] <nn123> hello! ive a question... every time i run flash videos or... play some games like chess games, my intel core 2 duo runs like hell, not even in other computers running cd4 the processor works so hard, why is that?
[05:17] <ne0futur> josh: apt-cache search alsa | grep lib
[05:17] <crohakon> scunizi; I see that already, but it has already slightly grown on me. I am going to try to reproduce some of my menus with it and see how they turn out.
[05:18] <ae86-drifter> and when you connect externally with the ftp client make sure you use the external(internet) IP, not your internal network IP
[05:18] <cedriczg> Help1, If you use a live CD then you should check for file /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:18] <dsnyders> cedriczg, YOu'd have to get Help1 to look at the /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst or whatever it is.
[05:19] <cedriczg> Help1, Where disk would be the name of your disk
[05:19] <scunizi> crohakon: I think that after using it for a while you'll get hooked.. remember that when creating a text box you can right mouse click on it and "edit text" .. you can also F2 afterwards for more adjustment options.
[05:19] <josh> ne0futur, all the guides say I should be installing "alsa-lib", and it's even on canonical's site, but it's not showing up with a 'apt-cache search alsa | grep lib'
[05:19] <josh> ne0futur, http://ns2.canonical.com/ko/source/karmic/alsa-lib
[05:20] <josh> Not sure if I'm running karmic though
[05:20] <lstarnes> josh: check lsb_release -a
[05:20] <crohakon> scunizi; so for the text box's you save the text in a separate file and it grabs it from there?
[05:20] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: hey
[05:20] <josh> lstarnes, ne0futur, jaunty
[05:20] <scunizi> crohakon: no you don't have to do that.. it's just an option.
[05:21] <boysen> any idea what is this feature in my router set up --->Enable full Internet Gateway Device (IGD) support
[05:21] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well sadly it doesn't seem to have any effect on my computer
[05:21] <ae86-drifter> boysen : no
[05:21] <ae86-drifter> boysen : it is called port forwarding, sigh
[05:21] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok ..... please keep posting here. someone will know exactly what to do.
[05:21] <josh> It's in the repo for jaunty also
[05:21] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, anything else you can tell me about the problem?
[05:21] <ae86-drifter> boysen, goto portforward.com
[05:21] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: but when I press the keys during the login window the screen is blank/black
[05:21] <boysen> UPnp configuration
[05:21] <scunizi> boysen: ae86-drifter some routers do port forwarding in the "Gaming" section
[05:22] <ae86-drifter> boysen, NO
[05:22] <crohakon> scunizi; oh I see, you click update text frame.
[05:22] <ae86-drifter> it may be called virtual server
[05:22] <scunizi> crohakon: now you're getting the hang of it :)
[05:22] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: I did a recovery session to repair any graphical problems....
[05:22] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, you can get to the login window?
[05:22] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: yes
[05:22] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok... why dont you login then?
[05:22] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: I did
[05:22] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, or only xterm will work?
[05:23] <Help1> grr i cant even mount it
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen, goto portforward.com, it will give you a tutorial for your specific router
[05:23] <boysen> what will happen if i turn off my firewall level to off?
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen, dont change any settings except port forwarding
[05:23] <Help1> could someone help me pls...
[05:23] <boysen> ic
[05:23] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well the keys didn't work but I don't know if it'll work after I enter recovery mode
[05:23] <cedriczg> Help1, Are you using a live CD now?
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen: what brand router is it
[05:23] <Help1> yes cedriczg
[05:23] <boysen> se567
[05:23] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, try it
[05:23] <crohakon> scunizi; Yeah, I could really come to like this program. Like I said, I will play around for a bit. Try to redo some of my menus with it and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip man.
[05:23] <boysen> SE567
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen: WTF?
[05:24] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you try Places and click on your disk there?
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> boysen: BRAND, not model
[05:24] <boysen> SEImen 567
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> oh ok
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> well
[05:24] <scunizi> crohakon: have fun and spread the joy :)
[05:24] <Help1> dont come up
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> did you goto portforward.com?
[05:24] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well its getting late for me and I need to rest so I can't do another reboot, but let say that it doesn't work, then basically we just ran out of ideas.
[05:24] <boysen> yap
[05:24] <Macer> is /etc/timezone a link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/ ?
[05:24] <Help1> ok just came up
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> boysen, goto portforward.com, it will give you a tutorial for your specific router, follow the tutorial, each router is different
[05:24] <Help1> where is the file located
[05:25] <Macer> or do you just add your actual zone to it like Americas/Chicago
[05:25] <Macer> ?
[05:25] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: So I think I'll come back tomorrow
[05:25] <LinuX2half> Boxmagnet: thanks for the help nonetheless
[05:25] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: Well this problem seemed recent so its not a long term problem
[05:26] <Macer> i can't seem to sync the clock correctly
[05:26] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: So I'm sure there's a fix to it, somehow anyway....................
[05:27] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: So Good Night :)

[05:28] <user__> user
[05:28] <RobotCow>  help please. vnc and ssh are showing up on my wlan and lo interfaces but not ham0 interface created by hamachi. this did not used to happen.
[05:28] <Darkomen> ae86-drifter> Darkoman, download a bot or script ->what kind of bot?
[05:28] <cedriczg> Help1, Paste it on http://pastebin.com/ and give me the link
[05:28] <ae86-drifter> Darkoman, its called an IRC bot
[05:28] <ae86-drifter> Darkoman, google is helpful for that
[05:29] <Help1> hmm when i press on boot folder there nothing there
[05:29] <ae86-drifter> Darkoman, or check out sourceforge.net
[05:29] <cedriczg> Help1, hmmm
[05:29] <cedriczg> Help1, Try this out. Open a terminal window
[05:29] <Help1> ok go
[05:30] <cedriczg> Help1, And go to your disk root
[05:30] <Help1> ok done sudo -s
[05:31] <Help1> and what do i do know?
[05:31] <vox> ae86-drifter: a bit less attitude would be useful, too.
[05:31] <cedriczg> Help1, I am checking which command would be better to find the file menu.lst
[05:31] <RobotCow> how can i make ssh server or vnc server run on the hamachi interface????
[05:32] <boysen> ubuntu 9.10 is coming 8 days to go
[05:32] <vox> Help1: run  sudo updatedb
[05:33] <vox> Help1: once that finishes run   locate menu.lst
[05:33] <cedriczg> Help1, Try  "find -iname *menu.lst" and wait
[05:34] <cedriczg> Help1, Maybe better try "sudo find -iname *menu.lst"
[05:34] <scunizi> how bout "locate menu.lst".. after sudo updatedb ..
[05:35] <cedriczg> scunizi, That would work if it is on a pATH for locate. But it seems he has no boot folder...
[05:35] <tred> i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[05:35] <tred> oops, missed half that, lol
[05:35] <cedriczg> scunizi, and that would get him the menu.lst from his live CD
[05:35] <scunizi> cedriczg: oh.. that would make a difference..
[05:35] <boysen> how come linux sometimes pain in the ass :P
[05:36] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty? i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[05:36] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you get any results?
[05:36] <Kajros> boysen:  I have a theory..Normally it is a user problem.
[05:36] <Help1> nope nothing
[05:36] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you run it with sudo ?
[05:36] <boysen> even if u follow the instructions sometimes there are some problems
[05:37] <Help1> yes
[05:37] <cedriczg> Help1, ok, keep waiting and try as well on another terminal the command "locate menu.lst"

[05:41] <dsnyders> Help1, how many partitions on that drive?
[05:41] <vox> Guest18772: 95% of hardware just /works/ under linux, you dont need specific drivers
[05:42] <NewbieLInux101> my ddr is 1 gb is that enough to run a server?
[05:42] <vox> NewbieLInux101: what sort of server
[05:42] <NewbieLInux101> 160 gb hd
[05:42] <Guest18772> oh thats right thx alot vox
[05:42] <nanotube> NewbieLInux101: depends on what you'll be serving on it and to how many people :)
[05:42] <nanotube> NewbieLInux101: if it's not anything too heavy, 1gb ought to be enough.
[05:42] <NewbieLInux101> eggdrop ftp apache ssh vnc ircd
[05:43] <vox> NewbieLInux101: should be plenty
[05:43] <Guest18772> hey can any one tell me what diffrence betwen linux and windows

[05:43] <tck9> i have a sata hdd that isn't detected in the bios. when i use a linux livecd i can see it listed with fdisk -l .. any ideas what could be wrong?
[05:43] <scunizi> Guest18772: that's better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic or the numerous posts out on the web.. this channel is for support
[05:43] <Guest18772> :)
[05:43] <tck9> since it doesn't show up in the bios, i can't select it as a boot device.
[05:43] <Shakti418> does anyone here have experience with the beta of Koala on fakeraid, I'm having troubles with the grub2 part of the install, it's failing
[05:43] <dsnyders> Guest18772, There are too many to mention.  The biggest though, is that linux is open source.
[05:43] <Kajros> linux is open source
[05:44] <Guest18772> yeah thats cool
[05:44] <vox> crazybyyou: this is ubuntu support, not a "hacker" channel.
[05:44] <Guest18772> well thx alot for ur help guys
[05:44] <cedriczg_> Help1, I lost my connection
[05:44] <dsnyders> Guest18772, That means that you can poke around and look at the code of programs you like.
[05:44] <cedriczg_> Help1, any news?
[05:44] <Guest18772> i guess i m going to sleep now i spent last 10 hours try to figuer out linux system lol
[05:44] <coyo> nvm, guise, i got my graphics adapter to work
[05:44] <Guest18772> :)
[05:44] <NewbieLInux101> lol
[05:45] <NewbieLInux101> that's linux
[05:45] <dsnyders> Guest18772, Welcome to linux.
[05:45] <vox> tck9: older bios's wont detect harddisks over certain sizes, however linux is able to use them once the system is booting. what you have is a limitation brought-on by the motherboard you're using.
[05:45] <NewbieLInux101> but stable :P
[05:45] <Guest18772> thx alot dsnyders
[05:45] <tck9> it's a 250gb hdd.. another server which has the exact same mobo/bios detects it fine
[05:45] <NewbieLInux101> i have one more questions
[05:45] <dsnyders> Guest18772, Don't get discouraged if it doesn't come easily, though.  It can be daunting.
[05:46] <NewbieLInux101> i want help to set up webcam server too
[05:46] <vox> tck9: dont have an answer then, but it's definately hardware related.
[05:46] <cedriczg_> NewbieLInux101, You can install cheese
[05:46] <Help1> ok found the menu.lst
[05:46] <NewbieLInux101> then after cheese what should i do
[05:46] <cedriczg_> NewbieLInux101, That program will let you use your webcam
[05:46] <NewbieLInux101> i did already
[05:46] <Help1> what now
[05:46] <vox> tck9: tried the latest bios image for that motherboard?
[05:47] <Shakti418> tck9: check the bios versions on each and download any firmware updates
[05:47] <cedriczg_> Help1, I was asking in which folder do you have the disk mounted now.
[05:47] <Help1> in examples
[05:48] <cedriczg_> Help1, Can't be... Your hard disk should have been mounted under sth like /media/disk1
[05:48] <Help1> do i need to create a dir first
[05:48] <NewbieLInux101> i install wine but my yahoo is not working on ubuntu how come
[05:49] <Help1> brb
[05:49] <riyonuk> Hiya, just installed Ubuntu, and it is so awesome! I love this! <3
[05:49] <riyonuk> One question, Id like to give KDE a try, how would I do that? ^___^
[05:49] <speedxxxcore> what is the ubuntu global userbase estimate?
[05:50] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, ask for a Kubuntu live CD?...
[05:50] <vox> cedriczg_: no
[05:50] <scunizi> riyonuk: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop .. when done logout and at the password screen you can "change sessions" to kde and .. away you go!
[05:50] <riyonuk> okay :p
[05:50] <vox> cedriczg_: what scunizi said.
[05:50] <Shakti418> riyonuk: resist the temptation to tinker too much before you're familiar with how things work ;)
[05:50] <cedriczg_> vox, sorry?
[05:51] <Shakti418> does anyone here have experience with the beta of Koala on fakeraid, I'm having troubles with the grub2 part of the install, it's failing
[05:51] <vox> cedriczg_: you can just apt-get kde and install it
[05:51] <cedriczg_> vox, It depends if he wants to try it or install
[05:51] <scunizi> Shakti418: until it's officially released ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:51] <vox> Shakti418: join #ubuntu+1 for 9.10 support
[05:51] <cedriczg_> vox, Yes that's true as well
[05:51] <Shakti418> vox & scunizi: thanks
[05:52] <riyonuk> I don't understand the point of Compiz's "Window Preview", sure I can see the windows, but I can't really make out what they are
[05:52] <dsnyders> HI all! Anybody know anything about chipcardd4?
[05:52] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, You can also do sudo "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" as scunizi said
[05:52] <vox> riyonuk: you can alter the preview sizes
[05:52] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, correction "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[05:52] <Wicked> !webcam
[05:53] <riyonuk> I like the size, just not the "quality", if that makes sense?
[05:53] <riyonuk> I'm installing kubuntu-desktop at the moment, going to be awhile, huge download
[05:53] <vox> riyonuk: you can alter that aswell i think
[05:53] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, Yes, that's why using a live CD may be useful as well. Maybe some friend may have it
[05:53] <vox> riyonuk: it's been a while since i played with compiz
[05:56] <mai_18> hmmmmmm
[05:56] <brandon_> Anyone good with VBox?
[05:56] <CopyWriter> i second your hmmmmmm(m)
[05:56] <scunizi> brandon_: what's up?
[05:56] <mai_18> hhhhhhhh
[05:57] <evilaim> Anyone installed windows 7 as a secondary?
[05:57] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, I like very much on compiz the "Scale" effect and set up with the "bottom right" as binding
[05:57] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, Like on Macs
[05:58] <qkbeyond> :)

[06:09] <_ged> hi guys
[06:10] <_ged> how can i prevent the running of an application twice?
[06:10] <Kajros> Wow...kinda got quiet
[06:10] <chromic> _ged: what particular app are you talking about?
[06:10] <Kajros> _ged:  Don't keep clicking on it?
[06:11] <riyonuk> I just got a random popup, wanting me to pick my default display manager, to I make it gdm or kdm? wtf?
[06:12] <_ged> Kajros: ahm, its hard to do that, i mean, i think it can be a workaround, but that PC is a bit slow, so sometimes i assume that i havent opened it and so i will open it again...
[06:12] <Kajros> riyonuk:  GDM is gnome and kdm is KDE so preference.   It says I don't have privilieges, though I'm positive I do. Is there some way to edit fstab?
[06:13] <Kajros> _ged:  After using Windows started using Ubuntu and noticed no more double clicking yay
[06:13] <chromic> _ged: usually, the app itself checks if its running already and will reuse an existing instance
[06:14] <chromic> _ged: firefox does this, for eg
[06:14] <koshari> Kajros: thats a kde trait, gnome still likes double clicking
[06:14] <Kajros> Well running UNR so different for me lol
[06:14] <chromic> _ged: if the app doesn't, then you could write a wrapper script that checks if its already running and avoid launching a second process
[06:15] <_ged> thanks
[06:15] <riyonuk> Off to try KDE, brb ^_^
[06:15] <safe> Alternatively, is there some way to be sure what device the PSP will be detected as?
[06:16] <distrohopper> http://www.shutupwomangetonmyhorse.com/
[06:16] <ae86-drifter> chown the psp
[06:16] <ae86-drifter> type chown --help
[06:16] <safe> Do I have to do it everytime I plug it in?
[06:17] <ae86-drifter> not sure, i havent tried it
[06:17] <ae86-drifter> but you should
[06:18] <safe> Would've been more efficient if I could just plug/play without hassling.
[06:18] <elops>  hello, i have a little problem with assigning mixer tracks to multimedia tracks. I know help.ubuntu has a mini FAQ about it, and i have read it but i cannot understand wich mixer track i should pick.
[06:19] <ae86-drifter> it would be more efficient if you set it up correctly, make a script to change the permission if u have to
[06:19] <ae86-drifter> then would run when its connected
[06:19] <safe> ae86-drifter: That's done via fstab, correct?

[06:26] <Help1> dsnyders nothing
[06:26] <rublind> I need a little assistance, I'm trying to install ubuntu server and I keep running into problems, initially it was because I was using a flash drive, but now I'm using the CD and I'm getting the message to insert the CD labeled blah... during the "Installing Base system" and I can't get around it, this has happened twice
[06:27] <dsnyders> Help1, Odd.  It seems you have no hard drives on your machine.
[06:27] <Help1> no i have 1 hard drive
[06:27] <ZykoticK9> Help1, try "ls /dev/hd*"
[06:27]  * altf2o has never seen Ubuntu ask for another disk on /any/ version desktop or server. I run 9.04 Server and it went in just fine...
[06:27] <dm__> Anyone here have a hp dv1000 with linux installed on it? I have a question for you, and a favor to ask
[06:28] <rublind> altf2o, I have no effing clue what's going on and this is driving me nuts. I just want it installed. I ran into other errors when trying to install a flash drive.
[06:29] <dajhorn> rublind: You can get that glitch with a bad burn.  Did you alter the ISO or installer to wedge it on the flash drive?  Did you use the Ubuntu flash drive creator utility?
[06:29] <Help1> ok dev/sda2 = 195gig  and /dev/sda5=102gig
[06:29] <altf2o> is it the 32bit version? What type of box are you installing it to? My guess is what dajhorn said.
[06:30] <rublind> dajhorn: no modification and no tool to create, made by hand following instructions online
[06:30] <rublind> altf2o: 32 bit, and it's a custom built box
[06:30] <spasticteapot> My M-Audio Audiophile USB soundcard recently stopped working - under LSUSB, it shows up as "texas instruments". Before this, it started producing garbled output sometimes when I ran java applets in Firefox, but a restart would fix this. Any tips?
[06:30] <SeaPhor> dm__, whats you're question?
[06:30] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all !
[06:30] <dsnyders> Help1, Okay.  Issue the command: fdisk -l /dev/sda
[06:31] <Help1> ok /dev/sda2 = 195gig  and /dev/sda5=102gig
[06:31] <c0l2e> how can I disable switch user ??
[06:31] <Help1> ok done
[06:31] <dsnyders> Help1, How many entries does it print?

[06:32] <^mNotIntelligent> how to keep track of TCP/UDP packets being sent from a particular port no? Currently I'm using "tcpdump -ni eth0" to just see all the tcp packets...
[06:32] <dm__> Seaphor i wanted someone with an hp dv1000 to go into a terminal, type xev. and give me the keycode for FN+F7 and FN+F8
[06:32] <dsnyders> Help1, Not good.
[06:32] <^mNotIntelligent> !pb | Help1
[06:32] <dsnyders> Help1, You don't have any linux partitions on that drive.
[06:33] <joeb3_> ^mNotIntelligent, tcpdump -ni eth0 port 80

[06:33] <Help1> i got windows and ubuntu..dual boot
[06:34] <^mNotIntelligent> joeb3_, thanks you very much
[06:34] <ruby_on_tails> something like teamviewer exists on ubuntu ?
[06:34] <rublind> http://rublind.com/ss.png
[06:35] <dsnyders> Help1, I think windows may have trashed your linux setup then.
[06:35] <Help1> i just need to access grub/menu.lst
[06:35] <SeaPhor> dm__, look in F10 on boot in the bios and tell me the model name ,,, then tell me what Fn+F7/8 are supposed to do, i'll look it up for you-- tomorrow, and if i can get a scan-code for you
[06:36] <v3trae> greetings fellas. Is editing xorg.conf still the best way to add extra mouse button support? Hoping to put compiz(scale) to thumb button.
[06:36] <ZykoticK9> Help1, did you use Wubi (install Ubuntu inside of Windows)?
[06:36] <Help1> think so
[06:36] <rublind> dajhorn, altf2o: any idaes?
[06:37] <dajhorn> rublind: Reburn the ISO on the slowest burn speed.
[06:37] <dm__> seaphor well the model name is HP PAvilion dv1000 Fn + f7/f8 are supposed to dim and brighten the backlight of the lcd
[06:37] <rublind> dajhorn: I'd rather try doing it with usb again. :p
[06:37] <SeaPhor> dm__, what OS?
[06:37] <bostongeek24> is there a way to install kde on netbook remix?
[06:37] <dajhorn> rublind: Then use the flash drive creator utility that is bundled with Ubuntu.
[06:37] <bostongeek24> or do i need to install kubuntu
[06:38] <dm__> seaphor ubuntu 9.04
[06:38] <rublind> dajhorn: that's for windows, right? I'm on a mac...
[06:38] <progesterone> question: Although I've installed Window fonts with "sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts", Verdana (maybe more) is still missing. How can I find out what else is missing?
[06:38] <dajhorn> rublind: Manually creating a bootable flash drive on Mac OS X for Linux is difficult.
[06:39] <bostongeek24> hello?
[06:39] <ZykoticK9> bostongeek24, i don't know how/if you can install kde on UNR, what I do know is that if you install Ubuntu/Kubuntu you can add the NBR interface.  Best of luck.
[06:39] <ZachK_> hey team
[06:39] <SeaPhor> dm__, the HP did not come with that, what OS (you said Linux) did it come with?
[06:39] <rublind> dajhorn: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html
[06:39] <bostongeek24> @zykotick9 i see thanks
[06:39] <maco> SeaPhor: hp minis come with jaunty, i thought...
[06:39] <dsnyders> Help1, Wubi requres that you boot into windows, then launch ubuntu.
[06:40] <dajhorn> rublind: That doesn't apply to Mac OS X.  The device names are different, and getting the device offsets right is an exercise in masochism.
[06:40] <dm__> Seaphor it "came" with windows
[06:40] <rublind> dajhorn: I can boot into the installer
[06:40] <dajhorn> rublind: If you're on Mac OS X, just burn the ISO.
[06:41] <rublind> dajhorn: it's in the installer that I run into problems, and that's just because it's from an iso instead of a cd
[06:41] <dm__> seaphor xp home
[06:41] <dajhorn> rublind: Your kung-fu is weak.  Burn the ISO.
[06:41] <DaZ> dsnyders: bs
[06:41] <SeaPhor> dm__, ahh ok, i thought you said it came with linux,,,
[06:42] <dajhorn> rublind: Do it again to isolate for bad CD-R media, or a bad drive.
[06:42] <dm__> Seaphor Why would it coming with windows matter? I am not having a Windows problem.
[06:42] <spasticteapot> My M-Audio Audiophile USB soundcard recently stopped working - under LSUSB, it shows up as "texas instruments". Before this, it started producing garbled output sometimes when I ran java applets in Firefox, but a restart would fix this. Any tips?
[06:43] <SeaPhor> dm__, i work for HP, on the Linux team,
[06:43] <dm__> Seaphor im in luck then
[06:44] <dm__> Seaphor The fn+f7/f8 keys arent recognized in xev, nor in acpi_listen
[06:44] <dm__> Seaphor but.. all other fn keys are recognized
[06:44] <SeaPhor> dm__, lol, well,,, i also cross-ref with ubuntu at work
[06:44] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty? i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[06:45] <jlkaklkfjd> does anyone know why make command doesnt work in knoppix linux?
[06:45] <SeaPhor> dm__, try the cmd "showkeys"
[06:45] <v3trae> is there a special channel for 9.1 questions?
[06:45] <dm__> Seaphor :) hey.. any help at this point would help me. this is 5 days now, and I cant get it to work. I cannot change the brightness whatsoever
[06:45] <dm__> seaphor sec
[06:46] <dm__> seaphor which package should i install to use that.. kbe or console-tools
[06:46] <dm__> kbd**
[06:46] <SeaPhor> no...
[06:46] <firdau5> ?
[06:46] <SeaPhor> dm__, i sec
[06:46] <dm__> Seaphor : No command 'showkeys' found, did you mean: kbd or console-tools
[06:47] <cham_eleon> Morning!
[06:47] <dm__> seaphor paraphrased of course :)
[06:47] <SeaPhor> dm__, should be showkey

[06:48] <fcuk112_> !karmic | v3trae
[06:48] <cham_eleon> I've a problem I had some month ago that solved "itselfs" after a while... I logged in and an error with "gnome-power-manager" was displayed and after that all gconf settings are gone, I tried another user with "clean" home-Folder, w/o success. For example: All apps>general>metacity "keys" have a "<no value>" but why? Settings I make under gnome like switching desktop image isn't working, it only changes the background color.
[06:49] <cham_eleon> I found a blog post from someone with the same problem, his solution was to switch to KDE.. oO that can't be true!
[06:49] <evilaim> Doesn't sound right
[06:50] <evilaim> Tjat
[06:50] <evilaim> that's like saysing "My sound doesn't work in Ubuntu"... "Oh, well then use Windows"
[06:50] <evilaim> haha
[06:50] <cham_eleon> Yea sure, thats no option for me
[06:50] <cham_eleon> But for me theres no way to fix it
[06:50] <napster> Ghose..?
[06:50] <evilaim> But I don't know myself
[06:50] <SeaPhor> dm__, i cant find here, if you cant get the answer here then /join my channel tomorrow while i'm at work and i'll try to find what you need
[06:51] <cham_eleon> I tried to rebuild my complete home from a backup some days ago where EVERYTHING worked fine, it does not work
[06:51] <cham_eleon> There must be an error somewhere else :(
[06:51] <dm__> seaphor k, i did find a package named showkey
[06:51] <dm__> not showkeys
[06:51] <evilaim> look in your /var/log
[06:51] <evilaim> bunch of log files in there
[06:52] <widodo> hii
[06:52] <cham_eleon> Now I'm using xfce4 temporary :-)
[06:52] <cham_eleon> Hope that everything will be better in 9.10 :D
[06:54] <SeaPhor> dm__, if you cant get the answer here then /join my channel tomorrow while i'm at work and i'll try to find what you need
[06:54] <user_> !usb
[06:54] <m0RrE> cham_eleon: you could try to remove the gnome config files in ~/
[06:54] <m0RrE> they will be generated again when you log in
[06:54] <user_> slow usb transfer speeds
[06:55] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, i already did that, i created a new user, there the problem is the same, i also tried it with "my" home folder ;-(
[06:55] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, i removed the folders before i logged in over a tty
[06:55] <cham_eleon> gdm wasn't active then
[06:55] <m0RrE> remove gnome-power-manager
[06:56] <cham_eleon> I already did that too, I purged it and than installed it again - no success
[06:56] <m0RrE> and try again
[06:56] <m0RrE> hmm
[06:56] <cham_eleon> I tried everything in the last two days I guess ;-)
[06:56] <cham_eleon> I found a bug in the launchpad, too, no fix yet and no for me working solution
[06:56] <user_> why am i getting slow usb transfer speeds
[06:57] <m0RrE> do you have your /home on a different partiton than your root-filesystem?
[06:57] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, nope it's the same
[06:57] <m0RrE> well, that's too bad :P
[06:57] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, the only thing I can do is to make a complete rebuild of my hdd with backuppc :)
[06:57] <m0RrE> ..and reinstall.. and always have your /home on a different partition, just in case you have to reinstall
[06:58] <cham_eleon> but in my eyes this can't be the solution... as I said, this is the second time i have this error
[06:58] <progesterone> question: I installed Window fonts. Other browser can see those but Firefox can't. How can I do that?
[06:58] <m0RrE> progesterone: did you install the msttcorefonts package?
[06:58] <progesterone> m0RrE of course. Opera browser can see those. But Firefox can't.
[06:58] <cham_eleon> Eclipse isn't loving me today, too :) gnome and eclipse are hating me!!! ;-)
[06:59] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, the crazy thing about that is, i accepted that some settings aren't working and worked with the borked gnome... after some weeks everything was back again! that was so weird! ;)
[07:00] <m0RrE> if you are ok with "betas" install 9.10 :P
[07:00] <cham_eleon> ;)
[07:00] <picochu> guys is it worth getting a job as a zLinux admin?
[07:00] <m0RrE> it will be released next week anyways
[07:00] <cham_eleon> I will use xfce4 in meanwhile and installing new with 9.10 :)
[07:00] <cham_eleon> yes sure
[07:00] <cham_eleon> I'm waiting for it :)
[07:00] <lgears> i rc scheduled to be released today?
[07:01] <m0RrE> i've been using it for about 2weeks now and it's working great
[07:02] <Boonleng> asdadasd
[07:02] <cham_eleon> Everything okay with you? :)
[07:02] <Kajros> Anyone seen Windows 7 starter?  Kinda reminds me of kubuntu
[07:03] <user_> why am i getting slow usb transfer speeds
[07:03] <Deihmos> finally got ubuntu running on my eee. what a pain that was
[07:03] <tomvolek_> Hi All,  I have a 160G dual boot(ubuntu, vista ) trying to move it to a 500G drive with (ubuntu, vista, OS x ) .  What is the best way to just copy same partitiosn to the new disk ?
[07:03] <CWinLx> when I adduser, can I specify the location of its new homedir?
[07:03] <picochu> CWinLx:  check the parameters for useradd
[07:04] <CWinLx> if I didn't do that I wouldn't be here
[07:04] <CWinLx> maybe I'm blind I don't know
[07:04] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, "adduser --home DIR"
[07:04] <CWinLx> aye, thanks!
[07:04] <progesterone> question: How can I configure Ubuntu Firefox to see installed Microsoft fonts? Other browsers can see those already.
[07:05] <user_> ZykoticK9, can you help me boost my usb transfer speed from 3/mbs
[07:06] <Deihmos> i tried installing ubuntu on a nvidiai raid config and it just didn't wprk
[07:06] <Deihmos> another think i realize about ubuntu is that the fonts look really ugly compared to windows
[07:07] <wanghu741122> :)
[07:10] <mneptok> progesterone: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:10] <mneptok> progesterone: that will get you the MS web fonts in Ubuntu
[07:11] <Deihmos> ijust found that and installed the ms fonts
[07:12] <Deihmos> now i have no idea what font microsoft uses
[07:12] <napster> hello
[07:14] <ZykoticK9> progesterone, you using firefox 3.0.14?  i certainly have MS fonts in that version of FF.  actually they are in 3.5.3 too.  did you restart firefox after installing the fonts?
[07:16] <ZykoticK9> progesterone, FYI i must have gotten them from ubuntu-restricted-extras as i didn't install msttcorefonts separately
[07:19] <edgy> Hi, I tried Ctrl+\ for a job and it said "Quit (core dumped)" where is this dump stored?
[07:20] <progesterone> mneptok ZykoticK9 I got it now. Thanks
[07:20] <iranactivist> anyone know when the RC is out? later today?
[07:20] <ZykoticK9> edgy, check your home folder for a file called core
[07:21] <edgy> ZykoticK9: I checked that already and nothing there
[07:21] <ZykoticK9> edgy, sorry don't know then...
[07:22] <ZykoticK9> edgy, try /var/crash if you have it
[07:23] <farooq> #drupal
[07:23] <ZykoticK9> edgy, this might also be of interest to you, perhaps it's not currently installed? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport
[07:23] <farooq> #drupal-support
[07:24] <Guest91491> hellp
[07:24] <Guest91491> hello
[07:25] <thahauss> Hi all, I have Jaunty installed with the default FTP client, is there a GUI for this or a better FTP client to use?
[07:26] <ZykoticK9> thahauss, personally i like gftp GUI support FTP and SSH/SFTP connections -- filezilla is also popular gui app for ftping.
[07:27] <thahauss> ZykoticK9, thanks for the response!  ill take your advice and check out GFTP GUI
[07:27] <bigfootbuilt> I think you can add an ftp client to Firefo as an add on
[07:27] <bigfootbuilt> firefox that is
[07:27] <MenZa> thahauss: nautilus (the default file browser) will do it. Try Places → Connect to Server - feature-wise, it doesn't boast much, but it's quite nifty just for simple operations.
[07:27] <velko_> thahauss, the file browser nautilus is ftp-client
[07:28] <edgy> ZykoticK9: apport is already installed but i want to crash an app myself
[07:28] <thahauss> ok all great, thank you very much I'll check out all of the options and see what works best for me, have a good night!
[07:28] <ZykoticK9> edgy, even if it is installed - is it enabled?  it's not be default i read.
[07:29] <bigfootbuilt> Has anyone used the default Telnet client that is installed with Ubuntu? I know it is installed, but I don't see it in th menus
[07:29] <MenZa> bigfootbuilt: You invoke it from a terminal :)
[07:29] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty? i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[07:29] <edgy> ZykoticK9: job control is a basic OS feature and has nothing to do with apport
[07:29] <bigfootbuilt> Thanks Menza...I'll have to figure out how to use it
[07:29] <corden> hello guys when this problem be solve
[07:29] <ZykoticK9> bigfootbuilt, default Telnet client is cli - so in a terminal type telnet
[07:30] <corden> about playing swf movie on firefox and play movie on ubuntu
[07:30] <bigfootbuilt> Thanks Zy
[07:30] <ZykoticK9> edgy, sorry man, i thought you where trying to get crash dumps...
[07:30] <corden> the movie on ubuntu in slow motion
[07:30] <MenZa> !media | corden
[07:30] <MenZa> ._.
[07:30] <MenZa> !codecs | corden
[07:30] <edgy> ZykoticK9: no. I want to get core dump using a kill command
[07:31] <Jaraxle> hi, does anyone know where icons are located in Jaunty?
[07:31] <ZykoticK9> edgy, using "kill" will not give crash dumps - as kill requests programs to stop (unless you use the -9 signal), still different from a "crash" i'd think...
[07:32] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, check /usr/share/icons & /usr/share/pixmaps
[07:33] <edgy> ZykoticK9: check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGQUIT
[07:33] <ZykoticK9> edgy, best of luck man - it's certainly beyond me
[07:33] <poi77> Hi! I am running Ubuntu w/ sw raid. I run mdadm to check status. At the end of output there is    " Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State" and then my RAID devices. What does this data mean?
[07:34] <Jaraxle> thanks, found them in pixmaps
[07:34] <Jaraxle> also, does ubuntu ever use .ico format?
[07:35] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, there are ways of converting .ico to .png/.x?? files -- gimp can do it i'm pretty sure
[07:35] <velko_> edgy, ZykoticK9, http://linux.die.net/man/5/core
[07:36] <Jaraxle> ok, i was just curious...i have it available as .png or .ico
[07:36] <Jaraxle> getting the quake icon ; )
[07:36] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, .png is MUCH more common on Linux -- i got some killer quake icons :)
[07:37] <nic1> i need to install skype on my machine. i am getting the error "/usr/bin/skype.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv"
[07:37] <nic1> does anyone have any idea about this error?
[07:37] <Jaraxle> cool Zykotick, i mainly just want quake 1 and one for enemy territory
[07:37] <Boohbah> nic1: you need a different version of qt-dbus
[07:37] <codeFiend> hey all
[07:38] <Boohbah> nic1: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[07:38] <CaptainMorgan> so I got nvidia GTX 275 and I'm a fairly new nvidia user after almost a decade of being solely an ATI user... I've had my card working with 2.6.24-24 for about week since I initially installing this system.  Today, 2.6.24-25 came out I think, and I went to upgrade and correct me if I'm wrong but the latest nvidia driver for 64 bit is not compatible with this kernel update, or vice versa... I reverted back to 2.6.24-24 and it
[07:38] <CaptainMorgan> took a bit of work but I got finally working back to normal... is this typical? should I be more confident when 2.6.24-26 comes out instead ?
[07:38] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, sorry I only have Quake II-III-IV & ETWQ icons :(  Good luck man.
[07:39] <CaptainMorgan> 8.04 btw
[07:40] <Jaraxle> cool, thank u
[07:40] <CaptainMorgan> simply put, I was trying to achieve what I have now with ...24-24: 1920x1200 or larger, and with ..24-25 I could only get 1600x1050
[07:40] <ZykoticK9> CaptainMorgan, 8.04 ahhhh -- as Nvidia is working fine on my 64bit 9.04 with 2.6.28
[07:40] <codeFiend> so I'm still struggling with network problems. here's the symptoms: dhcp seems to works, default gateway route is set, I can do dns lookups on hosts, but I can't ping or connect to anything outside the local network, and traceroute shows the connection dying on the third hop out. The weird thing is that plugging a mac into the same network gets me a network connection that is just fine, so it must be a config issue of some sort.
[07:40] <edgy> velko_: how can I tell where is the core path? cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
[07:40] <edgy> |/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c
[07:40] <Jester86> hello gentlemen and lady
[07:40] <codeFiend> (third hop out - past the gateway)
[07:41] <CaptainMorgan> ZykoticK9, do you think that explains it? I'm not comfortable with the non-LTS versions... so maybe I should just wait for 10.04 ?
[07:41] <Jester86> have any of you any experience with streaming 1080p movies across a gig-network?
[07:41] <codeFiend> I can't believe that the traffic is being blocked because of the os, but I can't think of anything else that I can test or check on this machine
[07:41] <Jester86> see the problem is I'm running mythtv and i want to run it to a machine in my living room.
[07:42] <Jester86> i was wondering if any of you think i would experience any problems w/ bandwidth running a 75' cat6 cable.. I kind of doubt it but that is getting semi-lengthy
[07:42] <ZykoticK9> CaptainMorgan, I dunno my ex-gf is still on 8.04 and very happy with it, we where just discussing if she would upgrade to 9.10 or wait until 10.04.  It's really up to you, personally I find 8.04 kinda dated now.  Best of luck to you.
[07:42] <fcuk112_> Jester86: if you have a ps3 you can use ps3mediaserver.
[07:43] <Jester86> no, I'm running pure mythbuntu pcs
[07:43] <chibihogoshino> whats the karmic channel
[07:43] <fcuk112_> !karmic | chibihogoshino
[07:43] <chibihogoshino> thank you
[07:43] <Jester86> fcuk112_, I have a bunch of old boxes I'm in the process of turning into my myth media center
[07:44] <fcuk112_> Jester86: unfortunately i have no xp with myth.
[07:44] <Jester86> i was just wonder whether or not i would see any signal decay w/ a 75' cat6
[07:44] <Jester86> well its more of just an over all data/network question
[07:44] <CaptainMorgan> ZykoticK9, 10.04 is less than six months away... but I suppose I was trying to get at whether 8.04 and the new kernel combined might be the issue for nvidia... and that 10.04 with an updated kernel would make more sense...
[07:44] <Jester86> not necessarily fit for this channel but this is the only really active place to ask
[07:44] <CaptainMorgan> the kernel module compiling phase for nvidia might've bombed at some point with 2.6.24-25
[07:45] <Boohbah> Jester86: http://www.homenethelp.com/web/explain/maximum-cable-length.asp
[07:45] <ZykoticK9> CaptainMorgan, i really don't know - obviously no personal experience with the issue i'm affraid...
[07:45] <Jester86> thank you Boohbah
[07:45] <rublind> woot. eff cd's! usb install worked... finally.
[07:46] <Boohbah> rublind: i had trouble with usb images too. good job!
[07:46] <codeFiend> argh. I don't understand routing problems.
[07:46] <rublind> Boohbah: not recognizing cd's was a pain >.< I was making symlinks everywhere so it would detect the iso. =p
[07:46] <Jester86> so i guess the real question is.. do i want to get a 75' or a 100' lol
[07:48] <rublind> in the desktop version of ubuntu, you can use the "repositories" menu item from the package manager to pick the fastest mirror, is there an equivalent on the server version?
[07:48] <Boohbah> codeFiend: what kind of routing problems are you having?
[07:48] <rublind> [i.e. command line :x]
[07:48] <codeFiend> Boohbah: I'm not sure. I can't get to outside world from the ubuntu machine
[07:48] <Boohbah> codeFiend: is your network interface up? can you ping your gateway IP?
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> rublind: i didnt think it hose the fastest mirror ever, just the one with the latest version
[07:49] <ziroday> rublind: apt-spy
[07:49] <codeFiend> Boohbah: yes and yes
[07:49] <rublind> ActionParsnip: it was running ping tests on each one, I'd assume it's fastest mirror...
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> rublind: surely offering inexperienced users this will take time that could be used downloading
[07:49] <rublind> ziroday: thank you! :D
[07:49] <codeFiend> Boohbah: and I can do dns lookups on outside world
[07:49] <Boohbah> codeFiend: where is your DNS resolver located?
[07:49] <ziroday> rublind: :)
[07:49] <codeFiend> Boohbah: traceroute shows the connection timing out after the fourth hop (two hops pas the gateway)
[07:50] <codeFiend> Boohbah: traceroute from the mac plugged into the same network, however, gets all the way to the end with no problem at all
[07:50] <rublind> ziroday: I can't apt-get that, can I? apt-cache shows me nothing
[07:50] <CWinLx> i try running a script and i get, "mkdir: cannot create directory `/somepath/': Permission denied"
[07:50] <CWinLx> how do I run this script as root?
[07:50] <Boohbah> codeFiend: interesting.
[07:50] <b166er> anyone else having trouble getting ubuntuone to connect?
[07:50] <codeFiend> Boohbah: dhcp sets the dns hosts to be in local subnet, ip's starting with 10.
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: do the package managers do this speed testing ?
[07:50] <rublind> codeFiend: going on a limp here, have you tried doing ifup eth0?
[07:50] <rublind> limb* xD
[07:51] <ziroday> rublind: hmm one sec
[07:51] <CWinLx> anyone?
[07:51] <codeFiend> rublind: no, but I did /etc/init.d/networking restart - is that similar?
[07:51] <JoshuaL> CWinLx, sudo scriptname
[07:51] <huwenfeng>  i got 9.04 live CD iso file on my disk! can i use the already installed GRUB 0.97 to boot from that ISO file???? any clues or urls??
[07:51] <Boohbah> codeFiend: and the mac has an identical network setup?
[07:51] <rublind> codeFiend:  do ifconfig eth0 (or whatever your using)
[07:51] <Boohbah> codeFiend: ifconfig on the mac also...
[07:51] <codeFiend> Boohbah: yeah, just dhcp.
[07:51] <rublind> codeFiend: make sure you have a valid ip address
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> rublind: afaik, the apps simply scan all available repos then pull down the latest version from whichever has the later version number
[07:52] <Boohbah> rublind: i think codeFiend is smarter than that :)
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: sudo <script>
[07:52] <codeFiend> rublind: ip address looked ok.
[07:52] <rublind> ActionParsnip: I'm basing this on my experience with gentoo, there was a similar thing on there, can't hurt to ask
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> !sudo | CWinLx
[07:52] <rublind> Boohbah: hey, never eliminate the obvious! the simple things are the hard ones to catch
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> rublind: definately :)
[07:52] <ziroday> rublind: oops looks like apt-spy doesn't work on ubuntu. Lemme see what else I can find
[07:52] <Boohbah> rublind: true
[07:52] <codeFiend> rublind: anyway when I did /etc/init.d/networking restart, it showed it talking to dhcp server and getting the ip address, i'd figure it would show the error there if it was not getting the ip address
[07:53] <rublind> ziroday: thank you
[07:53] <rublind> codeFiend: can you ping your router?
[07:53] <CWinLx> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m11f4d675
[07:53] <CWinLx> apparently it can't find the file
[07:53] <codeFiend> rublind: I can ping the gateway, yup. and even the first ip past it (that traceroute shows). but pinging the second one times out, same as traceroute.
[07:53] <Boohbah> codeFiend: do you mind pasting the traceroute that dies on the 4th hop?
[07:53] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, try "sudo sh createUsers.sh"
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: your syntax is wrong
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: sudo ./createUsers.sh
[07:54] <super-biver> i
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: th ./ tells the interpretter to use the command from pwd
[07:54] <CWinLx> none of that works
[07:54] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, assumes that it's set executable
[07:54] <CWinLx> really strange..........
[07:54] <codeFiend> Boohbah: unfortunately don't have it here, already left office, and irc was blocked on that network so couldn't get on to ask my stupid questions then, heh
[07:55] <codeFiend> Boohbah: right now I'm just trying to get an idea of what else I could possibly look at next time I go there
[07:55] <codeFiend> because I'm, frankly, stumped
[07:55] <CWinLx> if i do the "sudo su ./script" I get, "unknown id: createUsers.sh"
[07:55] <Boohbah> codeFiend: ahhh, this was an office network... can you contact the network admin?
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: also make sure you run: chod +x ./createUsers.sh   to mark it executable
[07:55] <rublind> codeFiend: you can try some telnet stuff to, to see what responses if any, you're getting
[07:55] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, "sudo SH script"
[07:55] <CWinLx> 0 -rwxr-x--- 1 theuser theuser  117 2009-10-22 02:45 createUsers.sh
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: sudo su ./script    makes no sense
[07:55] <CWinLx> that should be right?
[07:56] <codeFiend> rublind: yeah tried telnetting and ssh'ing to both those ip's, neither gave me any response, don't think they have those ports open
[07:56] <CWinLx> okay so how do I run the script as root then ROFL if sudo doesn't work and su doesn't
[07:56] <CWinLx> and both of them together don't work either
[07:56] <ziroday> rublind: apologies, it appears something like that doesn't exist. I recommend you just use <two letter country code>.archive.ubuntu.com if you're not sure. Or ask your loco
[07:56] <rublind> codeFiend: is this box hard wired? you mentioned you had a mac, is that also hard wired?
[07:56] <CWinLx> i did an 'ls' the file is there
[07:56] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, it's "sudo sh script"
[07:57] <rublind> ziroday: yeah, I'm using us.archive but it's sooo slow for me
[07:57] <codeFiend> rublind: yup, both were hardwired
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: you may need to chown it as you are running as "myname" and not "theuser"
[07:57] <ziroday> rublind: mmm, the us archive mirror can get overloaded easily. What state are you in?
[07:57] <rublind> codeFiend: have you tried swapping ethernets? to see if the mac has any issues with that line?
[07:57] <rublind> ziroday: california
[07:57] <codeFiend> Boohbah: yeah, I'll try to get some contact info, but there's no sysadmin on site there, they let a lot of people go recently apparently. was hoping to solve it myself.
[07:57] <codeFiend> rublind: yeah, I tried plugging both machines into the same wall jack, same result
[07:58] <ziroday> rublind: I'd ask in #ubuntu-us-ca what they'd recommend. I'm sure they'll know some better mirrors
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: you have marked it executale though which is good
[07:58] <codeFiend> CWinLx: is the first line of your script something like #!/bin/bash
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: you can simply run: sudo ./createUsers.sh    from that same pwd
[07:58] <CWinLx> yes! it is
[07:59] <snow_ru> how to know which version of C I'm using on Ubuntu ?
[07:59] <codeFiend> CWinLx: hm. your error looks more like a bug in the script itself then
[07:59] <CWinLx> no... because I can run the script as non-root
[07:59] <CWinLx> with just './createUsers.sh'
[08:00] <rublind> codeFiend: last question, because I'm stumped otherwise, have you made sure that there are no special rules on the router blocking traffic? I know some routers do that, esp. for companies...
[08:00] <mb_again_> show_ru : gcc -v
[08:00] <CWinLx> problem is that I don't have root access so the script isn't working :(
[08:00] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, then use "sudo ./createUsers.sh"
[08:00] <CWinLx> ahh, that is know working!
[08:00] <CWinLx> after like 100 different tries
[08:00] <CWinLx> thanks you
[08:00] <CWinLx> I was going to give up
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: i told you sudo like 3 times, and even gave the factoid explaining it
[08:01]  * ActionParsnip facepalms
[08:01] <codeFiend> rublind: don't really have access to the router directly. do you think it's possible to have a rule that blocks all traffic that's originating from non-windows/mac machines? I guess that would explain it, but I thought traffic blocking would be more protocol-level, not originating-machine-os level filtering
[08:01] <CWinLx> ActionParnsip, it wasn't working before
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: maybe your text is better than mine
[08:01] <CWinLx> I even copied in pastebin
[08:01] <rublind> codeFiend: not to that extent, but for machines they don't recognize maybe
[08:02] <rublind> codeFiend: mac address filtering or something, maybe
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: scroll up and read, you'll laugh
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: but you got the gold, thats what matters :D
[08:03] <codeFiend> rublind: true, but still I don't understand why my mac would work then... its mac address is not known on that network either
[08:03] <CWinLx> lol okay
[08:03] <rublind> codeFiend: if it's an office computer, it would have to be, but I'm not saying that's the exact issue, but it could be something related...
[08:04] <codeFiend> rublind: no, both machines are mine... that's why it's driving me nuts
[08:04] <codeFiend> I'd understand if both failed, or both worked... but argh, one works and one not
[08:04] <rublind> codeFiend: oh, then find your network admin and punch him in the face until it works. :p
[08:04] <codeFiend> rublind: I'm down with that plan :)
[08:05] <codeFiend> arrrrgh.
[08:05] <codeFiend> ok I give up
[08:05] <codeFiend> I'll move that code up to a server and make them download the end results from their own damn machines.
[08:05] <codeFiend> this is insanity.
[08:06] <codeFiend> thanks for your advice, rublind, Boohbah
[08:06] <rublind> codeFiend: no worries, sorry for not having a solution, but good luck! :)
[08:06] <codeFiend> at least I know I'm not missing something blindingly obvious
[08:12] <nic1> Boohbah, i have ubunut9.04, different version of qbus?
[08:13] <rublind> alright, I'm done for the evening, thanks for all the help gents, and good luck to everyone else!

[08:25] <Windcape> hi, trying to install kubuntu, but the installer can't seem to detect my SATA drive. BIOS and Windows detects it just fine, any ideas what to do here?
[08:25] <jussi01> Windcape: kubuntu question in #kubuntu please

[08:26] <Windcape> jussi01 they recommend asking here, in regards to expertise with installing on SATA drives.
[08:26] <purma> jussi01: was logout
[08:26] <ct529> jussi01: I do not think it is a problem with wine , it is classified silver on the db .... I think it is a problem with Ubuntu default installation
[08:26] <pronoy> !info gtk_
[08:27] <pronoy> what is the package name for gtk+2.0 development library ?
[08:27] <jussi01> ct529: are you sure the version in ubuntu is the same version tested on the db?
[08:27] <lstarnes> pronoy: libgtk2.0-dev ?
[08:27] <pronoy> lstarnes why doesn't it show in apt-cache search ?
[08:28] <mnemonic> hi
[08:28] <lstarnes> pronoy: what full command are you using?
[08:28] <pronoy> lstarnes sudo apt-cache search gtk2.0
[08:28] <ct529> jussi01: I am indeed sure it is not
[08:29] <lstarnes> pronoy: it should have shown
[08:29] <pronoy> lstarnes sorry i was entering gtk+2.0
[08:29] <pronoy> lstarnes its ok now
[08:29] <ZykoticK9> pronoy, sudo isn't required for apt-cache BTW
[08:29] <amirman> can anyone tell me an application to use to find the x y position of my cursor on the screen?
[08:29] <pronoy> ZykoticK9 it isn't...? man i've been using this forever
[08:30] <ct529> jussi01: that I believe may be one of the problems .... so it needs a specific configuration just for Ubuntu
[08:31] <nic1> what is a dsc file?
[08:31] <cybersplice> nic1: from a camera? they're meta data files used by some cameras
[08:31] <lstarnes> nic1: where did you get the file?
[08:32] <nic1> i wanted to install the latest qr4-dbus on my ubuntu9.04, in the downloads i saw that file
[08:32] <lstarnes> nic1: it might be a debian package description file
[08:33] <nic1> is that a package to install? how can i untar and install that?
[08:33] <lstarnes> nic1: no
[08:33] <nic1> ok..description file..
[08:33] <lstarnes> nic1: only .deb is a package in ubuntu
[08:34] <lstarnes> nic1: it's used for building a package from source code
[08:34] <pronoy> nic1 rest are tarballs
[08:34] <nic1> hey i downloaded a .tar.gz file, and tried tar xzvf to untar i get an error..
[08:35] <Guest76611> hi
[08:36] <xylander> you
[08:37] <secret901> Why is Songbird not officially supported in Ubuntu?
[08:37] <kangaroo-paw> what is ububtu??
[08:37] <nic1> does anyone know about this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/298876/
[08:37] <ZykoticK9> secret901, beats me - but that is a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:38] <MenZa> ZykoticK9, secret901: More a question for #ubuntu-motu :)
[08:38] <foureight84_home> is there any tweaks for empathy im to close chat window by hitting esc?
[08:38] <MenZa> !songbird > secret901 (Have a look at this)
[08:38] <ZykoticK9> nic1, corrupt download/file
[08:38] <foureight84_home> are there*
[08:38] <Irreducibilis> Could someone explain this naming process for ubuntu?
[08:39] <bjorge> Irreducibilis: 9.10 means 2009 october (release year+month number)
[08:39] <secret901> MenZa: that still doesn't tell me why Songbird is not installable via Synaptic
[08:39] <ZykoticK9> MenZa, what does the motu stand for?  it's not really explained in their channel subject -- seems like a developer channel???
[08:39] <Irreducibilis> Oh ...
[08:39] <Irreducibilis> Well what about stuff like "Hardy Heron"
[08:40] <MenZa> ZykoticK9: Masters of the Universe. They're the Ubuntu packaging team.
[08:40] <iceroot> Irreducibilis: hardy = 8.04
[08:40] <ZykoticK9> MenZa, thanks
[08:40] <iceroot> Irreducibilis: every release got a name and a version
[08:40] <Irreducibilis> I see o_o
[08:40] <sweRascal> 2~2~/set tjeme xchat2
[08:40] <Irreducibilis> Well, thanks.
[08:40] <sweRascal> 2~2~/set theme xchat2
[08:40] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i just downloaded the file from ubuntu site
[08:40] <snow_ru> how to know about the information of I/O bus in ubutun ?
[08:40] <MenZa> secret901: I suggest you search Launchpad.net for packaging requests for Songbird, and if none are found, you can always just ask for them to package it.
[08:41] <ZykoticK9> nic1, i'd recommend you try d/l it again
[08:41] <secret901> MenZa: I think there was a reason that it wasn't included, but it escaped me at the moment.
[08:41] <MenZa> secret901: Well, have a look at Launchpad, it should say so ;)
[08:41] <MrSchmo> what is the command for updating your menu.lst to the lastest kernel? sudo update-grub....?
[08:42] <nic1> ZykoticK9, d/I ?? what is that??
[08:42] <ZykoticK9> nic1, sorry download -- try downloading it again
[08:43] <purma> if i happen to download some package and save it to /var/cache/apt/archives/ can i then install it using apt-get install and afterwards if i want to remove it can i use apt-get --purge?
[08:43] <ZykoticK9> purma, no - use dpkg to install stuff you download
[08:43] <secret901> MenZa: not much info at https://launchpad.net/songbird
[08:43] <wWales> you know that autocompletebox that drops down from say the search window in firefox, what kind of object does the os regard this object to be as far as OS colors go? is there a unified standard between applications for this object? i like to customize my colors and ive found that in color setups with light text this text gets lost in the seemingly always white appearance of these dropdown boxes.
[08:44] <purma> ZykoticK9: how do i remove the packages i've installed with dpkg?
[08:44] <ZykoticK9> secret901, songbird is available on getdeb.net
[08:44] <purma> ZykoticK9: can i use apt-get --purge ?
[08:44] <ZykoticK9> purma, yes - once it's install
[08:44] <lstarnes> purma: sudo aptitude purge packagename
[08:44] <secret901> ZykoticK9: my question is why is it not installable on Ubuntu via Synaptic.
[08:44] <purma> ok thanks
[08:44] <lstarnes> secret901: ubuntu's mozilla team might not have ported it
[08:44] <houn> hello
[08:45] <ZykoticK9> secret901, i said "beats me" it comes default on OpenSolaris if you can believe that
[08:45] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i tried downloading and untaring again, same error message
[08:45] <houn> secret901; is it possible to add getdeb.net on your sources list
[08:45] <MenZa> secret901: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/94494
[08:45] <ZykoticK9> nic1, can you give the link?
[08:46] <MenZa> secret901: I just read that through.
[08:47] <nic1> ZykoticK9, http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libqt4-dbus
[08:48] <ksaok> so, any one try to install ubuntu arm on pda?
[08:48] <ZykoticK9> nic1, amd64 or i386?
[08:48] <secret901> MenZa: thanks, I guess it's a licensing issue
[08:49] <ZykoticK9> nic1, those appear to be DEB files not tar.gz?
[08:50] <ZykoticK9> nic1, try using "dpkg -i FILENAME.DEB" and see if it installs
[08:51] <ZykoticK9> nic1, sorry "sudo dpkg -i FILENAME.DEB"
[08:53] <nic1> i386
[08:53] <SmokeyD1> hey people. In ubuntu, whenever I try to open a file from any application, the application hangs for like 15 secs before it shows the file dialog. It doesn't matter which application I use. Nautilus opens instantly though. Browsing through my files with it is as fast as normal. Just opening files from another application is a problem
[08:53] <SmokeyD1> I am using ubuntu 9.04 with gnome desktop on amd64
[08:53] <MenZa> secret901: seems like it, yeah.
[08:54] <nic1> how can i run this command? sudo dpkg -i qt4-x11_4.5.0.orig.tar.gz, i downloaded this tar file for me..
[08:55] <amirman> got my conky set up
[08:55] <SmokeyD1> nic1: go to applications->accessories->terminal
[08:55] <SmokeyD1> this opens up a terminal where you can run commands
[08:55] <ZykoticK9> nic1, go back to that page/link you gave me and under the heading "Download libqt4-dbus" there is an "amd64" and "i386" links - use those instead!
[08:56] <ZykoticK9> nic1, you downloaded the source code, which typically will NOT be needed in Ubuntu - Ubuntu/Debian use DEB files to install things usually.
[08:57] <bonnie> looking for djones
[08:57] <houn> how ko i install other programs from openoffice like Diag
[08:58] <secret901> I installed Songbird via getdeb.  How do I uninstall it?
[08:58] <ZykoticK9> secret901, "sudo dpkg -i SONGBIRD.DEB" or whatever the DEB is called
[08:58] <houn> how do i get the Diag program of openoffice
[08:59] <ZykoticK9> secret901, sorry uninstall "sudo apt-get remove SONGBIRD" or whatever songbird is called
[08:59] <lstarnes> secret901: sudo aptitude remove songbird
[08:59] <Flannel> secret901: You can uninstall it via synaptic, or whatever your favorite package manager is.
[08:59] <secret901> Flannel: can't find it in synaptic
[08:59] <saleem> how to inslall fire fox 3.5.3 last version
[08:59] <secret901> ZykoticK9: sudo apt-get remove seems to work
[08:59] <iceroot> saleem: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[09:00] <ibou> hi
[09:00] <ibou> i use kmplayer... how to read dvds ?
[09:00] <secret901> ZykoticK9: if only that'd work for Google Earth
[09:00] <MrSchmo> how do you update your 'menu.lst'?
[09:00] <Flannel> secret901: If you view by category, it'll be under "Local or Obsolete", that might be the easiest way
[09:00] <Flannel> secret901: er, I guess that's by status, not category
[09:00] <nalcomis> All, I am experiencing a strange problem where Ubuntu won't let me change the permissions on a folder.  I am shown as the owner with RWX, but cannot grant the same to the "others" group.  When I change the permissions in the GUI, it automatically sets it back to none.  From a command prompt, no change, but no error
[09:00] <ZykoticK9> secret901, "sudo apt-get remove googleearth" maybe?
[09:01] <secret901> ZykoticK9: that doesn't work.  Google Earth was installed by running an executable from Google
[09:02] <ZykoticK9> secret901, ahhh - sorry I used Medibuntu perhaps
[09:02] <ne0futur> ibou: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[09:02] <FND> during a system upgrade, I accidentally confirmed some dialog (was typing when the prompt got focus) - I can only assume it was about my grub menu.lst customizations
[09:03] <FND> any way I can get that dialog back?
[09:03] <ZykoticK9> secret901, yup "apt-cache policy googleearth" reports it's from Medibuntu all right.
[09:03] <syntaxman> nalcomis: hard to say.. make sure the fs in question isn't mounted ro.  Also, check permissions on the parent directory.
[09:03] <FND> apt log says "Setting up linux-headers-generic (<IP_ADDRESS>.21)"
[09:03] <FND> so that's probably what prompted it
[09:03] <syntaxman> nalcomis: failing other things, check the extended attributes using lsattr
[09:04] <digdeep> hi, could someone help me with this--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1296090&highlight=firefox+chromium
[09:04] <alabd> Good day everyone , while opening firefox there is msg that let us to resotre pages ,after choosing new page , is there anyway to restore that pages now ?
[09:04] <syntaxman> nalcomis: if you've played with ACLs, that might be something else to look into.
[09:05] <secret901> ZykoticK9: do you know which directory it's installed to?
[09:05] <meanieface> alabd: maybe go to your history?
[09:05] <ZykoticK9> secret901, GoogleEarth? from the google executable - i think it's in your home dir.
[09:06] <nalcomis> syntaxman:  Yeah...it is a NTFS drive...I think that is the problem.  It is being automatically mounted by Linux and I don't think has the correct attributes associated with it.  I can't get FSTAB to mount the drive...it is really weird.  When I try to mount it in the disk utility, it recognizes the path I specified in FSTAB, but tells me that only root can mount
[09:06] <ZykoticK9> nalcomis, you can't apply Unix permission on an NTFS drive!
[09:06] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I mean your medibuntu installation
[09:06] <alabd> meanieface: yes thanks
[09:06] <DukeDrake2> hi
[09:06] <yogg> hi
[09:06] <yogg> I get a black screen if i try to get a tty (1-6) on Ubuntu 9.04 x64 with newest nvidia drivers (180)
[09:06] <meanieface> alabd: your welcome
[09:06] <syntaxman> nalcomis: I think there are a couple of ntfs drivers.  The one that is stable couldn't write, only read.
[09:07] <selfmotivated1> hi guys
[09:07] <saleem> i should remove fir fox 3.0.8 and after that install fire fox 3.5 and how in termiel
[09:07] <ZykoticK9> secret901, "whereis googleearth" show /usr/local/bin/googleearth
[09:07] <DukeDrake2> I'm using ubuntu for the first time, but got some exp in debian
[09:07] <syntaxman> nalcomis: been a few years ago since I touched ntfs, though.
[09:07] <lstarnes> !ff35 | saleem
[09:07] <DukeDrake2> where would I find the default mailprogram
[09:07] <meanieface> saleem: type in firefox-3.5
[09:07] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I was told there's an uninstaller in the Google Earth directory, but couldn't figure out where it is.
[09:07] <lstarnes> saleem: note that you should keep firefox 3.0 if you intend to upgrade to karmic. 3.0 and 3.5 can be installed at the same time
[09:08] <DukeDrake2> there is no /usr/sbin/sendmail ... ??
[09:08] <nalcomis> sytaxman: basically this is the scoop...I moved a USB drive from my windows box (with all of my movies) to my linux box and want to share it out for my media center to pull from.  Unfortunately, it is not allowing anonymous access to the drive...

[09:08] <ZykoticK9> secret901, is Googleearth in your home dir right now?  you could probably just delete the folder?  i don't think it installs anything system wide.
[09:08] <syntaxman> nalcomis: mounting filesystems is, and usually should be, something only root should be able to do...
[09:09] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I don't know where it is.  There is a .google directory in my home directory but it doesn't have Google Earth
[09:09] <nalcomis> syntaxman: I wonder why the fstab entry isn't mounting the drive
[09:09] <xukun> I have a usb headset plantronics which ubuntu detects just fijn but I can't seem to get sound from it. Any help would greatly be appreciated
[09:09] <syntaxman> nalcomis: if you want that to be different, add "user" or "users" to the mount options.  That won't change the ro issues, though.
[09:09] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I think it does install it system-wide.  I just need to figure out where.
[09:09] <ZykoticK9> secret901, try "whereis googleearth"
[09:09] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i can only see the list of files in i386
[09:10] <secret901> ZykoticK9: it's in /usr/local/bin/googleearth, which isn't much help
[09:10] <ZykoticK9> nic1 can you send the link again (save me from scrolling)
[09:10] <nalcomis> syntaxman:  I can write to the drive as my username....I just can't give "others" access at all...not even read
[09:10] <ZykoticK9> secret901, that means it's system wide - don't know how to go about uninstalling that!?!?
[09:10] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I just need to find its directory and run the uninstaller there
[09:11] <ubuntu> Hello
[09:11] <ubuntu> I'm stuck at Ubuntu installing
[09:11] <ZykoticK9> secret901, try in /usr/local/bin and see if anything looks right
[09:11] <ubuntu> I'm using Ubuntu through the live CD atm and trying to install ubuntu from it
[09:11] <syntaxman> nalcomis: does the uid of your linux user match the uid of the file owner? (the names may match but the numbers might not)
[09:11] <ubuntu> I'm stuck at the partition manager
[09:12] <secret901> ZykoticK9: there's also a googleearth there
[09:12] <secret901> ZykoticK9: when you open a deb file, it usually tells you where it installs to, right?
[09:12] <ZykoticK9> secret901, but not a googleearth-remover or something?
[09:12] <ibou> ne0futur: i juste tryed a sudo ./install-css.sh in the directory you show me but im still unable to read my dvd
[09:12] <Rafay> Please help?
[09:13] <secret901> ZykoticK9: nope
[09:13] <nalcomis> syntaxman:  hrmmm....not sure (not sure how to check that either).  My user has RW access though
[09:13] <ZykoticK9> secret901, yes that info is there, but if you installed from DEB are you sure you can't "sudo apt-get remove googleearth"?
[09:13] <nic1> ZykoticK9, this is the link: "http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/dpkg"
[09:13] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I didn't install it from deb, that's why I can't remove it.
[09:13] <Rafay> guys?
[09:13] <psinetic> hey guys, I am trying to get eve online to work on my computer. AT first, wine has this "emulate driver" button i can select. but when i run the following commands and reboot my computer, the option is gone...uh....do i need that?
[09:13] <psinetic> wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[09:13] <psinetic> sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[09:13] <psinetic> sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install wine
[09:13] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I installed it from the BIN file directly from Google
[09:13] <FloodBot3> psinetic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:14] <Rafay> Help me with ubuntu installation!
[09:14] <ZykoticK9> nic1, try http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.14.24ubuntu1_i386.deb
[09:15] <ZykoticK9> secret901, sorry man - can't help you with the bin installer - i only use the medibuntu version???
[09:15] <Rafay> omg... no one?
[09:15] <psinetic> rafay, what's the problem?
[09:15] <Rafay> thanks god
[09:15] <vox> psinetic: wont work
[09:15] <Rafay> I'm stuck at installation
[09:15] <Rafay> at the partition manager
[09:15] <secret901> ZykoticK9: do you know where the medibuntu version install it to?
[09:15] <psinetic> rafay, which part?
[09:15] <psinetic> vox, what do you mean it won't work?
[09:15] <ZykoticK9> secret901, same place by the looks of things /usr/local/bin
[09:15] <Rafay> Where do you want to put Ubuntu 9.04?
[09:15] <vox> psinetic: running eve in wine
[09:15] <syntaxman> nalcomis: To find your UID (among other things) use the "id" command.  To find the numeric IDs associated with a file, use the "ls -n" command
[09:16] <Rafay> I don't want to isntall on entire disk
[09:16] <psinetic> it does work
[09:16] <secret901> ZykoticK9: it only places the binary there
[09:16] <vox> psinetic: it /used/ to work.
[09:16] <secret901> ZykoticK9: the application data is placed in its own dir
[09:16] <psinetic> rafay, then don't install it on the whole disk :P
[09:16] <psinetic> vox, it works: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1007680
[09:16] <Rafay> but
[09:16] <saleem> when i write in terminal command not found--- the reply is command not found
[09:16] <Rafay> I don't understand the advanced thingy
[09:17] <psinetic> rafay, so you want to install ubuntu on a partition? do you have something else you want to install on another partition?
[09:17] <Rafay> I want to use an entire partition for ubuntu installation, possible?
[09:17] <secret901> ZykoticK9: found it, it's in /opt/
[09:18] <psinetic> hmmm..lol, i wish i had that screen in front of me
[09:18] <saleem> sorry when i write in terminal sudo ap-get install firefox-3.5  the reply is command not found
[09:18] <vox> psinetic: i call fibs. i know guys who spent months trying to get it to work under wine. and these are the sorts of guys who simply write their own libs if they cant find one that does exactly what they want.
[09:18] <meanieface> saleem: are you typing apt-get or ap-get
[09:18] <ZykoticK9> vox, see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2249
[09:18] <psinetic> vox, i dont' call fibs because i got it working before i had to reinstall the OS on my computer (for other reasons), you don't know what your'e talking about.
[09:19] <Rafay> http://i.imagehost.org/0635/Screenshot.png
[09:19] <saleem> ap-get
[09:19] <meanieface> saleem: its gotta be apt-get
[09:19] <secret901> ZykoticK9: finally removed it. Thanks for your attempts at helping :-)
[09:19] <saleem> ok
[09:20] <ZykoticK9> secret901, glad you got it!
[09:20] <vox> psinetic: uh-huh.
[09:21] <Rafay> so, nobody wants to help?
[09:21] <psinetic> vox, respectfully and kindly, stfu. do a google search and you'll see this works no problem. my question wasn't even if it worked or not, because i KNOW it works. my question was does it matter if "emulate drivers" worked or not
[09:21] <psinetic> rafay, i'm looking now
[09:22] <psinetic> rafay, give me a screeny of the next page you have
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> Rafay: sup?
[09:22] <vox> psinetic: *shrug* i spent the better part of 3 months trying to get it to work correctly, and it wouldnt. and i certainly wasnt the only one. if it works for you, a+.
[09:22] <Guest31522> anyone knows a tool or something that send via mail an existing vulnerabilities from ubuntu?
[09:22] <Guest41704> hi]
[09:23] <Rafay> http://i.imagehost.org/0988/Screenshot-1.png
[09:23] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, he's trying to install ubuntu via live cd and is having trouble selecting a specific partition to install it on
[09:23] <Guest41704> anyone here know how to install and manage ftp server in ubuntu 9.04?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: thanks
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: install proftpd  and you are away :)
[09:23] <iceroot> Guest41704: sudo apt-get install proftpd
[09:24] <psinetic> vox, just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean all the sudden it doesn't work for anyone. if you google you'll see a lot of people where it DID work
[09:24] <psinetic> rafay, which partition do you want to install it on?
[09:24] <psinetic> or do you want to make a NEW partition?
[09:24] <Rafay> is it possible to install it on a separate partition? WIndows XP will be on a different partition
[09:24] <Rafay> still dual boot
[09:24] <Guest41704> does proftpd is secure?
[09:25] <psinetic> ok, then you'll click the button that says "new partition table"
[09:25] <ZykoticK9> Guest41704, you also might like gadmin-proftpd GUI admin.  NO FTP IS SECURE - it's all sent in clear text!
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Rafay: use custom partitioning, part of the partitioning is to choose the mount point for the partition, as long as you have at least / and / swp you are fine
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: ftp is pretty poor for file sharing choices
[09:25] <psinetic> what that does is creates another partition (holy crap you have alot)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: a better choice would be to install openssh-server
[09:26] <Rafay> I think I've a partition already
[09:26] <Rafay> the sda5
[09:26] <Guest41704> here: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/#docs
[09:26] <psinetic> oh hey, since u guys are talking about hacking-like-stuff, how do i get the backtrack 4 software on ubuntu in one-shot?
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: you can then use winscp / scp to transfer files, ad even mount
[09:26] <Rafay> could you guys wait for sometime?
[09:26] <Rafay> I'll be back in 10 minutes
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: its not supported here
[09:27] <psinetic> rafay, if you want to install it on sda5, it'll wipe it entirely
[09:27] <Guest41704> does proftpd suffers security hole?
[09:27] <psinetic> anything on it will be erased
[09:27] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, ok, thanks :)
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: sure, just like all softwares, firefox has more security holes
[09:27] <Rafay> yeah, then?
[09:27] <ibou> how comes that i can't read dvds with kmplayer although i Read them with dragon player ?
[09:27] <Rafay> I want entire partition for ubuntu
[09:27] <psinetic> rafay, once it erases it it'll continue with the instillation.
[09:28] <psinetic> there is a check box that says "format"
[09:28] <psinetic> select that box for the partition you want to install ubuntu on
[09:28] <Yblih> Does anybody here know something about pulse audio and an ALC662 3 jack sound and convert into surround sound?
[09:28] <Silver_Swords> is there anything without security holes?  =)
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: with ftp the transfers are not encrypted, vsftpd encrypts them so is a better choice in that sense but ftp still sucks
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Silver_Swords: doubtful
[09:28] <psinetic> Silver_Swords, lol, everything has holes, and EVERYTHING is vulnerable. it's about finding those vulnerabilities and exploiting them
[09:28] <Rafay> I'll answer you in about 10 minutes psinetic
[09:28] <psinetic> that's where viruses come from
[09:29] <psinetic> rafay, ok, np
[09:29] <meanieface> i think he was making a joke
[09:29] <psinetic> meanieface, i think so too :P
[09:30] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, sorry for going off on you last night. i was really frustrated and pissed off. :)
[09:31] <secret901> Guest41704: use ssh if you want more security
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: what about? ive slept and watched a PPV since then
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: can't of been anything of world shattering importance so don't sweat it man
[09:32] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, i was getting pissed because i was asking the same question over and over and over again and it was just such a simple questoin that i couldn't find the answer to and everyone ignored me. and when i used caps and cussed everyone suddenly noticed it. you told me not to use caps, and i came back at u
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: oh yeah, dont sweat it man
[09:32] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, it was still wrong and whether it's important or not it deserved apologizing for :P
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: its human to get frustrated too
[09:33] <Rafay> psinetic, back
[09:33] <Rafay> so yeah, I can't tick the format box next to sda5
[09:33] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, haha, yeah, i was really frustrated. it gets pretty frustrating when i ask a question and no one answers it, even when it's so simple, like installing ubuntu
[09:33] <psinetic> rafay, hmmm....
[09:33] <psinetic> did you unmount it?
[09:33] <Rafay> how? :s
[09:33] <psinetic> um....hang on
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: tis pretty simple :). Try a gentoo install for the first time. Takes a while
[09:35] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, lol, i can install it just fine, i was refering to rafay here asking the question 1,000 times before i was like, "wtf? why isn't anyone helping this guy" and started helping myself
[09:35] <psinetic> unfortunately i'm no expert at it
[09:35] <Rafay> D:
[09:35] <psinetic> rafay, right click on that box, does it bring up a menu?
[09:36] <saleem> ok i download fire fox 3.5 by terminal  but old version runing
[09:36] <Rafay> yes, Edit partition.....
[09:36] <meanieface> saleem: you have to type firefox-3.5 in the console
[09:36] <psinetic> hang on a sec, i got partition editor open, let me see if i can figure it out
[09:37] <iceroot> what was >> and 2>> together? so that i put stdout und stderr in one log
[09:37] <pfzurita> j
[09:37] <pfzurita> ghj
[09:37] <Pero> hello
[09:37] <Pero> anybody here?
[09:38] <psinetic> rafay, i think it should show you a menu that has "Unmount" as an option when you right click on the partition (not the colors, the writing)
[09:38] <abdel_> el
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> saleem: 3.0 and 3.5 are seperate apps, 3.5 is NOT an upgrade of 3.0
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> saleem: so you now must tell your apps to use the newer version
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> saleem: you can also uninstall 3.0 if you wish
[09:39] <psinetic> rafay, any luck?
[09:40] <Rafay> nop
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> saleem: you can also install 3.7 and have 3 versions installed all at the same time
[09:40] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i dont need to install ubuntu, i need to install only qt-dbus
[09:40] <psinetic> hmmmm....i dunno rafay, i edited my partitions once ubuntu was already installed.
[09:40] <psinetic> it's an entirely differnt partition manager
[09:41] <Rafay> any expert here?
[09:41] <Rafay> D:
[09:41] <psinetic> lol
[09:41] <ibou> how comes that i can't read dvds with kmplayer although i Read them with dragon player ?
[09:41] <psinetic> ibou, you probably don't have codecs for that software installed
[09:41] <meanieface> Rafay: not to be rude, but that comment was kind of uncalled for
[09:41] <Rafay> rude?
[09:41] <meanieface> Rafay: yes, rude
[09:41] <psinetic> meanieface, not really. i said before that i really don't know much about it
[09:42] <Rafay> I didn't said like "you don't know anything"
[09:42] <ZykoticK9> nic1, ask the channel your problem again
[09:42] <meanieface> psinetic: im just sayin i think he's kind of a pushy person
[09:42] <Rafay> I just asked for another because he already said
[09:42] <psinetic> meh, w/e
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: they use the same codec
[09:42] <ibou> psinetic: i have ldvdcss2, libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 and w32codecs...
[09:42] <psinetic> does anyone here know much about installing ubuntu via live cd?
[09:43] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, ibou, sry :P lol. hmmmm....i dunno then
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> ibou: weird, usuallyy there is a large pool of codecs that all players use
[09:43] <Guest41704> i installed proftpd does anyone here how to start?
[09:43] <saleem> some web site can not open by fire fox like chat sound and cam site
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> ibou: you may want to check the codec folders the players use, see if one is missing
[09:43] <abdel> hi
[09:43] <abdel> wad up guys
[09:43] <abdel> how come i configured my evolution
[09:43] <abdel> but each time i close
[09:44] <abdel> it and opens
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: its ready to go, you can ftp with your own user name and password that you are logged in with
[09:44] <abdel> its starts with configuration again
[09:44] <abdel> why is it so
[09:44] <psinetic> anyone, rafay needs help installing ubuntu via live cd onto a specific partition. i really don't know much about installing from live cd so....anyone help the guy?
[09:44] <ZykoticK9> !enter | abdel
[09:44] <ibou> ActionParsnip: where to check that ?
[09:44] <Rafay> thanks ;/
[09:44] <nic1> i need to install skype on my machine. i am getting the error "/usr/bin/skype.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv"
[09:45] <ndy40_> hello as anyone here tried out opensolaris ? how does it compare to ubuntu linux. i knu its unix .am refering to the user experience.
[09:45] <kripz_> is udf 2.5 supported in kernel 2.6.26?
[09:45] <secret901> nic1: are you running the Linux installer from Skype?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> ibou: will depend on the player, flick around the menus, see what you can find
[09:45] <nic1> i ran apt-get install skype
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> nic1: does that file exist?
[09:45] <nic1> yes
[09:45] <ZykoticK9> ndy40_, not that channel for that question -- OS is very polished, but doesn't have nearly the package library required for an average "desktop" experience.
[09:46] <nic1> e
[09:46] <fcuk112> nic1: try to download the .deb from skype.com
[09:46] <psinetic> rafay, looks like you're going to have to ask your question several times to get an answer. eventually the right person will come into the room and see the question and answer it :P
[09:46] <Rafay> true
[09:46] <saleem>  ibou: you may want to check the codec folders the players use, see if one is missing-----where i can find that
[09:46] <nic1> what is mediubunu? the file i downloaded is for mediubuntu and i work on jaunty ubuntu..is that  the reason?
[09:47] <ZykoticK9> nic1, did you add the mediubuntu repository or just download the deb file?
[09:47] <StaRetji> Hi there! What is default service for USB automount. I have hal and dbus running, but my usb drives wont automount. I worked before, but it stopped for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!
[09:47] <psinetic> so....i did this: hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg         and it opens an empty document...what's that mean?
[09:48] <cortsp88> hello!i'm italian.can you tell me the ubuntu chat room's address?
[09:48] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i just downloaded the tar file

[09:48] <Rafay> I really wanna install Ubuntu
[09:48] <ZykoticK9> nic1, add the repository - instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu then just "sudo apt-get install skype" and you should be done :)
[09:48] <ibou> saleem: you have the same problem ?
[09:48] <cortsp88> thank you psinetic
[09:49] <ibou> saleem: i can't find them
[09:49] <psinetic> so....i did this: hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg         and it opens an empty document...what's that mean?
[09:49] <ZykoticK9> nic1, and try to avoid downloading tar source code files -- DEB are much easier!

[09:52] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, true. but google is awesome :D
[09:52] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, don't you mean http://www.bing.com/ ;)
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> abdel: run: ls -ls ~/       and put the output in the pastebin
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: true but to ONLY use it is like researching in only one library
[09:53] <StaRetji> What is default service for USB automount. I have hal and dbus running, but my usb drives wont automount. It worked before, but it stopped for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

[09:54] <Cyr4x> hi, i've got a problem
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> nic1: there seems to be a lot of stuff about it online
[09:54] <psinetic> hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg........this brings up an empty document. what am i doing wrong?
[09:54] <Cyr4x> after dist-upgrade to 9.10 glxinfo swallows:

[09:55] <psinetic> hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg........this brings up an empty document. what am i doing wrong
[09:55] <prince_jammys> psinetic: does ''cat ~/.wine/user.reg''  give output?
[09:56] <meanieface> psinetic: alt-f2 ?
[09:56] <psinetic> meanieface, alt-f2 opens the run option
[09:56] <lukasz> Hi ;]
[09:57] <prince_jammys> psinetic: from a terminal, not from alt+f2
[09:57] <psinetic> prince_jammys, yeah, it has an outcome, but it fills the page to the point that i can't see the beginning of it to paste it in pastebing
[09:57] <zhaozhou> psinetic: also, run winecfg, close it, then try to gedit/cat it again.
[09:57] <psinetic> pastebin**
[09:57] <prince_jammys> psinetic: does alt-f2 : gedit /the/path/without/tilde/user.reg  work? (no "~")
[09:57] <prince_jammys> perhaps gnome isn't expanding the ~
[09:57] <prince_jammys> (i don't have gnome to check it)
[09:57] <psinetic> prince_jammys, one sec
[09:57] <zhaozhou> prince_jammys: smart one.
[09:58] <nic1> i want to reinstall ia32libs, how can i do that?
[09:58] <lukasz> warka Polak :D?
[09:58] <zhaozhou> I don't use ubuntu, but there is an --reinstall option to "apt-get install", isn't it?
[09:58] <prince_jammys> yes
[09:59] <meanieface> yep
[09:59] <zhaozhou> nic1: well then, apt-get install --reinstalle ai32libs :)
[09:59] <zhaozhou> reinstall**
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> nic1: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ia32-libs
[09:59] <ZykoticK9> psinetic, if you use alt+f2 and "gedit .wine/user.reg" it will work - with the ~ it doesn't???
[09:59] <psinetic> prince_jammys, yep, that worked....hmmm....it worked when i installed it the first time with ubuntu installed
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> zhaozhou: you are right
[10:00] <nic1> this does not give me any results. apt-cache search ai32-libs
[10:00] <nic1> ai32libs or ia32libs??
[10:00] <ZykoticK9> nic1, it's ia32libs
[10:01] <meanieface> nic1: i thnk you want to reinstall libasound2 and lib32asound2
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> !info ia32-libs
[10:01] <nic1> no results in search
[10:01] <prince_jammys> psinetic: perhaps before they passing the string to a shell, and now they're splitting it into words and executing it directly.
[10:01] <psinetic> ZykoticK9, yeah, that's what happened
[10:01] <psinetic> hmmmmmm
[10:01] <psinetic> insteresting
[10:01] <prince_jammys> psinetic: in which case the tilde would remain literal.
[10:01] <zhaozhou> !info ia31libs
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> !find ia32
[10:01] <prince_jammys> psinetic: but i'm guessing.
[10:01] <lukasz> my graphik is 800x600 i dont  instal nvidia  driver
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> lukasz: gksudo jockey-gtk
[10:02] <psinetic> meh, I only got one comment. Ubuntu's installer isn't stable. I've had to reinstall it five times in four weeks and each time it installs with different problems that didn't exist in the last install (fresh out of the box installs, meaning i haven't even updated it yet, first boot up)
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> nic1: if you are REinstalling it, you will already have it installed. You can therefore run: dpkg -l | grep ia32
[10:02] <lukasz> ActionParsnip i must download ?
[10:03] <shrini_> need help on choosing a FOSS forum
[10:03] <shrini_> any suggestions?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> lukasz: no its part of a standard install, run the command
[10:03] <nic1> apt-cache search lib32asound2, no results
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> !ot | shrini_
[10:03] <lukasz> ActionParsnip  oki thx
[10:03] <shrini_> what software powers ubuntuforums.org?
[10:04] <nic1> dpkg -l | grep ia32

[10:04] <fcuk112> shrini_: vbulletin.
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> nic1: dpkg -l | grep ia32   will show the already installed packae you will reinstall. If it doesnt come up then its not installed so you are not reinstalling it, but installing it
[10:04] <psinetic> shrini_, vbulletin
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> nic1: try: apt-cache search 32 | grep lib
[10:04] <lukasz> ActionParsnip  Error :/
[10:04] <redwyrm> When I run apt-get, it crashes halfway through the "Building dependency tree..." stage. How can I fix this?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> lukasz: well thats no use to me at all, can you give me details. I cannot see your screen
[10:04] <ZykoticK9> nic1, are you sure you're on a 64bit version?  what does "uname -m" say?
[10:05] <psinetic> shrini_, actually, so that you don't have to ask this question again. open the website in your browser, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, and it's listed there.
[10:05] <zhaozhou> redwyrm: ouch.
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: can you use a pastebin to provide the command you are running aswell as the full output
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> !paste | redwyrm
[10:05] <nic1> i am on 32 bit
[10:05] <nic1> uname -m says i686
[10:06] <zhaozhou> nic1: you should'nt need ia32 if your on 32bit... (?)
[10:06] <ZykoticK9> nic1, ia32-libs is only on 64bit versions, I'm worried about you not have /usr/local/var/dpkg/status!
[10:07] <nic1> yes no status file inside dpkg folder, what is that??
[10:08] <ZykoticK9> nic1, the list on installed applications
[10:08] <iceroot> how to use &> (stdout and stderr) to append to a logfile? &>> is not working, only &>

[10:09] <psinetic> hey, is Vox still here?
[10:09] <zhaozhou> redwyrm: apt-get segment faulting, that's just... bad.
[10:09] <psinetic> i got a screen shot for that guy >_>
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: thats pretty serious
[10:09] <Guest34988> I am trying to troubleshoot my ubuntu samba server. what does...... nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*' ...command do? and is the syntax correct?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: whats the output of: lsb_release -c
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: its a single line, you can paste direct
[10:09] <redwyrm> Codename:	intrepid
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: does: sudo apt-get -f install   fix it?
[10:10] <vox> psinetic: i dont need a screenshot. if you've been able to get it running, then thats great. i, like many others, have not been so fortunate.
[10:10] <redwyrm> no
[10:10] <redwyrm> same error
[10:11] <psinetic> vox, well, then let me help you
[10:11] <zhaozhou> Funny thing about lsb_release (ot!), a friend of mine got a Gentoo installation going, but halfway through he said "what? no lsb_release command in gentoo? Then why should i run Gentoo if i can't brag about it?!"
[10:11] <zhaozhou> He actually stopped the installation and went with Ubuntu.
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: try these commands in order: http://pastebin.com/mf814559
[10:12] <vox> psinetic: if you're going to be on for a while, sure. i re-installed about a month back, so i dont have _anything_ wine-related installed, so it'll take me a while to run through the steps
[10:12] <psinetic> vox, perhaps this will assist? it's where i asked my questions for getting help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270798
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> zhaozhou: why does one need to rag about an oS?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> brag*
[10:12] <nic1> what is the simplest way to make skype working?
[10:13] <psinetic> vox, the page that i went through goes from step 1 to the end
[10:13] <psinetic> it makes sure you have wine installed also
[10:13] <redwyrm> ActionParsnip, does /var/lib/dpkg/info contain vital stuff?
[10:13] <vox> psinetic: yeah, i've been reading it closely
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> nic1: have you tried installing the latest from skypes website?
[10:14] <zhaozhou> ActionParsnip: Now that is the right question. (yes, i have just seen 'I robot')
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: you can rename the folder if you want a less destructive method
[10:14] <psinetic> vox, i've had the oddest problems with ubuntu, just, things that don't happen, that should work but don't. and after a reinstall, the problem goes away just as it came. so i dunno man. lol
[10:14] <vox> psinetic: i apologise for my initial scepticism. as i said, i spent _months_ on it with no success
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> zhaozhou: never saw it, i dont get these linux braggers. makes me chuckle
[10:15] <psinetic> vox, i understand. and i apologize for being so rude about it. are you from australia?
[10:15] <redwyrm> ActionParsnip, too late, lol
[10:15] <vox> psinetic: i am
[10:15] <psinetic> vox, haha. the way you spelled apologize gave it away :P
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: theres a guy on launchpad whos an op there (I think who always recommends these commands when people's apt-get's get stucked
[10:16] <andersg> testing.
[10:17] <nic1> ActionParnship, yes i tried, it gives me some intrepid error
[10:17] <zhaozhou> andersg: test returned positive.
[10:17] <andersg> thank you:p
[10:17] <tred> jussi: i missed u in other room, i dont use the F2 term. i just leave the console open i close and it starts back up headless

[10:18] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty? i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> nic1: if you use tab to complete nicks it is faster and accurate
[10:18] <nic1> i dint get you
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> nic1: you typed ActionParnship which isnt my nic
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> nic1: and it probably took a while to type
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> nic1 if you type actio  then press tab, it will complete and be 100% accurate
[10:19] <nic1> ok..thank you..i need to make skype up now..
[10:19] <forceflow> If you hold a Linux shell against your ear, you can hear the C.
[10:19] <nic1> yes i check tab
[10:20] <vox> psinetic: yeah, phrasing/spelling tends to give the game away
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> nic1: the tab thing can also be used in terminal to complete commands and file names
[10:20] <zhaozhou> forceflow: xD!
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> nic1: makes life quicker
[10:20] <tred> i thought it was "if u bash a shell against ur ear, hehe
[10:21] <psinetic> vox, yeah, we spell things with "z" you guys spell them with "s"
[10:21] <andersg> backwards down underlings.
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> everyones backwards to somewhere else
