[07:44] <new-tu> dronix chatzilla
[07:44] <mib_dj4zq4> my work would be done by a root console..and the system may be having low resources, so just directly booting into root console prompt will do.
[07:44] <dronix> new-tu: ah ok, I still prefre x-chat though
[07:44] <mib_dj4zq4> something like "linux single" will do that? as in normal system grub?

[08:05] <Extreme_b> i'm currently using ubuntu 8.04 server
[08:06] <Extreme_b> hateball: yes i am
[08:06] <secret901> Scooma: thanks, it worked
[08:06] <Scooma> secret cool

[08:07] <Scooma> new-tu, done that?
[08:07] <new-tu> scooma got it
[08:08] <Scooma> new-tu, now, in there are many different entries near the bottom... i'm looking for something that says "kernel 2.6.27-13"
[08:08] <Scooma> new-tu, perhaps it's at the top of the group of entries that look similar
[08:09] <new-tu> scooma: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=7530d36f
[08:09] <Scooma> new-tu, no need to paste, just tell me if you have a 27-13 in there
[08:10] <jumbers> Hey guys, I'm having issues with the package manager download speeds dropping off severely, seemingly randomly. This is not limited to Ubuntu repos, but third party ones also. The download speed will suddenly drop to about 3kbps after running at 800 or more
[08:10] <constantine__> lenorand: did this:~/Desktop$ chmod 100 thunderbird.desktop
[08:10] <constantine__> and it won't work now
[08:11] <secret901> Scooma: argh, again
[08:11] <Scooma> secret901, heh
[08:11] <Scooma> secret901, maybe give it a rest for today? try again tomorrow when you're refreshed. I think you might be hitting some keycombo to do that
[08:11] <new-tu> scooma: doing a search for "27-" (without quotes)  - no 27-13, but we do see a 27-11
[08:12] <secret901> Scooma: ok, thanks
[08:12] <Scooma> new-tu, that's your problem. you've got 27.11 but you should have 27.13... let me look at the installer maybe we can force it to install anyway
[08:13] <new-tu> scooma: thanjks
[08:13] <Extreme_b> hateball: thanks alot .. it works
[08:14] <hateball> Extreme_b: Yeah. What's funny is that it's not fixed in 8.10... not checked 9.04 yet. Even tho the code is provided there.

[08:20] <Scooma> jumbers, have you selected a close mirror for your updates?
[08:20] <jumbers> Scooma: College dorm network. Other things don't seem to do this, only package updates really

[08:24] <aj_> geirha_ : but there is no option for 'shutdown'
[08:24] <Scooma> new-tu, the installer cannot figure out which "back-end" to compile for... ummm
[08:24] <new-tu> scooma: wat is wrong
[08:24] <geirha> aj_: Look for logout
[08:24] <aj_> that is for log out

[08:25] <Myrtti> sexcopter1: I don't think that's possible...
[08:25] <new-tu> scooma: any way to inform it?
[08:26] <Scooma> new-tu, it looks like the installer is confused. it wants files from two different architecture back-ends to compile
[08:26] <Scooma> new-tu, do this instead. go to on the menu bar (System - > administration -> hardware drivers)
[08:27] <Scooma> jumbers, probably
[08:27] <Scooma> jumbers, do you have another NIC?
[08:27] <new-tu> scooma: going there now

[08:29] <Scooma> jumbers, prob it's a mac on your machine more than likely... or both
[08:29] <Scooma> *a mac=the mac
[08:29] <Scooma> new-tu, do you see entries in there?
[08:30] <Anub|s> I'm back in windows so I can solve the problem :P
[08:30] <new-tu> scooma no
[08:30] <Scooma> jumbers, change both at the same time when you're disconnected from the network
[08:30] <jumbers> Scooma: Gah. Changed it and no luck

[08:35] <Scooma> new-tu, good luck
[08:35] <ziroday> xukun: hdmi contains the audio feed as well as the video feed

[08:44] <SixtyFold> hehe Duddle
[08:45] <KyleGP> I need some help with virtualbox, its only showing in a small window
[08:45] <KyleGP> even when I run in fullscreen
[08:46] <ziroday> KyleGP: you need to set the resolution of the VM higher, also you'll probably get better answers in #vbox
[08:46] <KyleGP> how do i change the res?
[08:47] <ziroday> KyleGP: you're running ubuntu in the VM?
[08:47] <KyleGP> Nope, Im in ubuntu running the windows vista setup
[08:47] <KyleGP> through virtualbox
[08:48] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: for what reason do you need vista in a VM?
[08:48] <ziroday> KyleGP: well then you need to ask ##windows how to increase your resolution size
[08:48] <DigitalKiwi> to play games ofc
[08:48] <vanksi> using encrypted lvm on 8.10, is it possible to change the promtp text on boot to something else more obscure from "Enter the key to unlock volume...."?
[08:48] <ActionParsnip1> DigitalKiwi: they run pretty badly compared to native.
[08:49] <KyleGP> because I need to run windows programs that dont work with wine
[08:49] <KyleGP> and I want to try out the performance under virtualbox
[08:49] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: remember to run it seamless, thats good fun
[08:49] <KyleGP> what does that mean?
[08:50] <D00NGi4> Hi all, what would be the best way to get support for the ATI proprietary driver (FGLRX) with a video tearing issue over HDMI with the new 780 chipset?
[08:50] <xukun> does anybody advice me a good video card with hdmi not one with dvi?
[08:51] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSZHrjjcv6c
[08:51] <ActionParsnip1> !ot | xukun
[08:52] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: pretty much sums it up
[08:52] <jigp> ziroday : how to delete the existing files that I've installed in old version of virtualbox ose?it seems that they are still there
[08:52] <KyleGP> ok ill take a look now
[08:52] <KyleGP> also, i havnt installed vista yet, its only the setup im talking about thats windowed
[08:52] <ziroday> jigp: well you could just rm the files
[08:52] <KyleGP> and if i view fullscreen it doesnt stretch it or anything, its just a smaller window in the centre of the screen
[08:52] <jigp> ziroday: im not a programmer dude :(
[08:53] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: the files for your old vboxes will be in ~/.Virtualbox
[08:53] <jigp> ActionParsnip1 : thanks
[08:53] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: I'm not a programmer either
[08:53] <naymyowin> hi
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> !hi | naymyowin
[08:54] <jigp> ~$ cd ~/.Virtualbox
[08:54] <jigp> bash: cd: /home/jigp/.Virtualbox: No such file or directory
[08:54] <naymyowin> how to enable modem on my toshiba satellite L300?
[08:54] <KyleGP> ah yes
[08:54] <KyleGP> I know this
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: try: cd ~/; ls -a
[08:54] <KyleGP> Ive played around with microsoft VM software and have done this too lol
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: its massive bloat but looks cleaner
[08:54] <KyleGP> Well Im learning alot about ubuntu, because I got sick of windows.
[08:54] <Boohbah> naymyowin: find out what hardware you have using lspci, then find out what module is used to support that hardware and install it
[08:55] <dsre> how do i turn desktop ubuntu into server ubuntu?
[08:55] <KyleGP> and even if I have to run windows, Id like to do it under linux :D
[08:55] <KyleGP> lol
[08:55] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: sick of what exactly?
[08:55] <Boohbah> dsre: install some daemons?
[08:55] <daftykins> i got sick of windows too
[08:55] <ziroday> jigp: do sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko
[08:55] <daftykins> it's just too easy
[08:55] <daftykins> and becoming so un-necessary bloated
[08:55] <KyleGP> Stability being terrible,memory hog
[08:55] <daftykins> install vista and the latest msn messenger, you'll run to Linux almost immediately
[08:55] <Myrtti> hey folks, welcome to #ubuntu-offtopic :-)
[08:56] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: and running vista in a virtual box as well as linux isnt a huge memory hog?
[08:56] <daftykins> but you're in the wrong channel Myrtti ! :)
[08:56] <KyleGP> agreed
[08:56] <Kartagis> i am trying to umount the samba shares at poweroff. I found a script for it and wrote it in /etc/init.d/ then I made a symbolic link with ln -s ../init.d/umountsmb K15umountsmb in /etc/rc2.d/ but it doesn't seem to work. how come?
[08:56] <KyleGP> well
[08:56] <KyleGP> yeah i guess it will be lol
[08:56] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: you're shooting yourself in the foot using vbox
[08:56] <KyleGP> well
[08:56] <KyleGP> right now, im tripple booting
[08:56] <KyleGP> XP, Vista and ubuntu
[08:56] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: so your rant about memory hog isnt cured by linux, in fact its making it worse
[08:56] <KyleGP> but If I can run what I need to all inside ubuntu without it being too slow then I would
[08:57] <dsre> how do i turn desktop ubuntu into server ubuntu?
[08:57] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:57] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: why did you install server if you wanted a desktop system?
[08:57] <ziroday> dsre: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server && sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-deskop && sudo apt-get autoremove
[08:57] <dsre> action i have desktop and i want server
[08:57] <dsre> ActionParsnip1,  i have desktop and i want server
[08:57] <ziroday> ActionParsnip1: you got it the wrong way around :)
[08:58] <daftykins> nn all
[08:58] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: unless you have a 32bit chip and more than 4Gb ram you arent going to see any difference hardly
[08:58] <jigp> ActionParsnip1,  ziroday: where do you guys get this commands? whew its very weird command....
[08:58] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: logic for me
[08:58] <ziroday> jigp: which command are you referring to?
[08:59] <dsre> action, so there's no point in switching?
[08:59] <dsre> ActionParsnip1, , so there's no point in switching?
[08:59] <KyleGP> Also I want to know if i understand this correctly. Metacity is the window manager for ubuntu. Then there is GTK which is the compiz window dec, and emerald, another window dec.
[08:59] <jigp> sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko cd ~/; ls -a ~/.Virtualbox
[08:59] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: no, for a normal user with a standard pc, not really
[09:00] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: this is why I ask, what do you hope to gain?
[09:00] <ziroday> jigp: you learn them over time, did the first command output anything?
[09:00] <dsre> ActionParsnip1, im going to be running a server
[09:00] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: what spec is the server?
[09:00] <jigp> ziroday : /home/jigp/.Virtualbox - couldn't find command. I type it in the home folder at Places
[09:00] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: and what will the server be hosting
[09:00] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: run: cd ~/; ls -a
[09:00] <dsre> what do you mean what spec ActionParsnip1
[09:01] <jigp> ziroday sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko this one works
[09:01] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: read the screen, one folder will be clearly for your virtualboxes
[09:01] <ziroday> KyleGP: metacity and compiz are window managers. emerald is a window decorator (note emerald is buggy and unmaintained)
[09:01] <jigp> ActionParsnip1 : yeah I saw lots of files cd ~/; ls -a
[09:01] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: cpu type, speed and ram quantuty
[09:01] <ziroday> jigp: sure, but what did it output?
[09:01] <jigp> ActionParsnip1 : but how to delete?
[09:02] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: if you want to completely remove all virtualboxes and config run: rm -rf <folder to delete here>
[09:02] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: then you will have no vboxes or settings for vbox
[09:02] <jigp> ziroday : sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko [sudo] password for jigp:  /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-386/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko /limodules/2.6.24-23-rt/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-server/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko /usr/src/modules/virtualbox-ose/.vboxdrv.ko.cmd /usr/src/modules virtualbox-ose/vboxdrv.ko
[09:03] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: server can help 32bit CPUs use more ram with PAE, but otherwise its the same OS with no X server by default
[09:03] <KyleGP> what are some other window decorators? what do you use?
[09:03] <jigp> ActionParsnip1: does my sun box deleted too?
[09:03] <ziroday> jigp: right, well do rm /path/to/vboxdrv.ko for each of those line
[09:03] <Kartagis> hello
[09:03] <r3dux> hi
[09:03] <Kartagis> i am trying to umount the samba shares at poweroff. I found a script for it and wrote it in /etc/init.d/ then I made a symbolic link with ln -s ../init.d/umountsmb K15umountsmb in /etc/rc2.d/ but it doesn't seem to work. how come?
[09:03] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: yes as they are stored in the same folder
[09:03] <ziroday> KyleGP: metacity is really the only window decorator out there/
[09:03] <dsre> ActionParsnip1, whats pae?
[09:04] <naymyowin> Boohbah: http://paste.ubuntu.com/127109/
[09:04] <jigp> $ rm /path/to/vboxdrv.ko
[09:04] <jigp> rm: cannot remove `/path/to/vboxdrv.ko': No such file or directory
[09:04] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[09:04] <r3dux> Kartagis, do you need to unmount samba shares? It's just a network connection.. surely it just terminates the connection when you power down?
[09:05] <Kartagis> r3dux, when I poweroff, it waits soooo long
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> dsre: you sound like you have zero reason to install server, you are unclear about what it actually give a user, you'd be better suited to running the desktop system.  Metacity and Gnome are developed very closely together making them work as just about the best combo
[09:06] <ziroday> KyleGP: metacity is both :)
[09:06] <KyleGP> ahhh
[09:06] <KyleGP> I see
[09:06] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: its the window manager for gnome
[09:06] <KyleGP> lol
[09:06] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: by default
[09:06] <ziroday> KyleGP: I believe the decorator part is called gtk-decorator
[09:06] <SkyNetMaster> ins there any make channel? I need help setting make environment and have some issues
[09:06] <KyleGP> So for example, if I go into appearance under ubuntu and change stuff there, thats metacitys work?
[09:06] <r3dux> KyleGP, KWin is the KDE one.
[09:06] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: yes
[09:06] <KyleGP> Ahhh
[09:06] <Knysliux001> hello :)
[09:06] <KyleGP> cool =)
[09:07] <KyleGP> and you can use GTK themes with metacity?
[09:07] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: you can run a different window manager but with the same apps, like xfce
[09:07] <KyleGP> correct?
[09:07] <Kartagis> r3dux, what can I do?
[09:07] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: sure
[09:07] <Seper> KyleGP: yes
[09:07] <r3dux> Kartagis, what do you have connected?
[09:07] <Kartagis> r3dux, 3 samba shares
[09:07] <KyleGP> okay, and whats a window manager do exactly? Im using compiz window manager, does that just mean I can have all the extra effects and stuff?
[09:08] <r3dux> Kartagis, if you don't have any samba shares does it close down real quick?
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: you can also boot into kde and kwin will be the window manager, but the apps will still act the same and be laid out the same, they will just be generated by kwin
[09:08] <Kartagis> r3dux, yes
[09:08] <r3dux> -have +mount
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: compiz replaces metacity (hence compiz --replace)
[09:08] <r3dux> Hmm... is your samba connection configured properly?
[09:09] <KyleGP> okay, well Im using Emerald as the window decorator, only because emerald is capable of transparency
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: it draws each app window in its own space then uses 3d grooviness to make them appear 3d
[09:09] <r3dux> Kartagis, I'd try with each share separately, see if it's just one of the samba connections that's glitching
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: emerald is a window decorator, the top bar of each window
[09:09] <Kartagis> r3dux, //campus01/mtozses	/mnt/t		smbfs	credentials=/root/.campus01	0	1 / //suimage/backup	/mnt/backup	smbfs	credentials=/root/.suimage	0	1 / //suimage/image        	/mnt/image	smbfs	credentials=/root/.suimage      0       1
[09:10] <KyleGP> and then what about the top control bar? is that metacity?
[09:10] <Seper> KyleGP: I believe- Window Manager controls window functions and menus. Gnome controls the desktop.
[09:10] <jigp> ActionParsnip1: ziroday:  is there a way to just use folders or view folders to delete the files?
[09:10] <Seper> KyleGP: That stated in simplest terrms
[09:10] <ziroday> jigp: yep, with sudo nautilus
[09:10] <KyleGP> and the top control bar is part of the desktop so it has nothing to do with the window manager/themer?
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> ziroday: gksudo nautilus
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> jigp: use gksudo for nautilus, its a gui app
[09:11] <ziroday> ActionParsnip1: my bad :P
[09:11] <rage> Mmmm, I just noted something about Gnome Power Manager, when I plug my laptop in it says it is running on AC power.
[09:11] <rage> However it is not in this particular case,
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> ziroday: np man, you pick me up too. thats teamwork :D
[09:11] <r3dux> Kartagis, Not specifing uid and gid? Odd... Can I have:
[09:11] <rage> It is running off a larger lead acid battery using a 12V DC->DC adapter
[09:11] <jigp> ziroday : what's the use of this>? rm /path/to/vboxdrv.ko why I need to delete this?
[09:12] <r3dux> /<IP_ADDRESS>/Share /mnt/NAS smbfs username=r3dux,password=MyPasswordHere,uid=500,gid=500 0 0
[09:12] <rage> Should be updated to say it is running on external power
[09:12] <r3dux> -can... "I have.." the above
[09:12] <Seper> KyleGP: Some window managers have much much more functionality, some have very much less. So there is no clear line between WinManager and DesktopEnvironment
[09:12] <jigp> ziroday : so I cannot use my existing files that I've installed esp os that I've installed?I cannot open them in this new sun box virtual?
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> rage: ideally, maybe theres a service you can restart
[09:13] <KyleGP> Is GTK the window decorator for metacity but can also be used with compiz? Im still a bit confused on what GTK is... (sorry for being a noob)
[09:13] <Kartagis> r3dux, does that effect things?
[09:13] <Seper> KyleGP: GTK is a graphical interface library.
[09:14] <alap> hi, i am using hardy 8.10 on my laptop and getting error while compiling kernel. the error is E:unable to find source package for linux-ubuntu-module-2.6.27-11-generic. can any one tell me how and from where to download this package. i am referring instructions given at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/kernel/compile
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: GTK = Gimp ToolKit
[09:14] <KyleGP> so its basically just an extention...like...a pakage of images that you can use with compiz...metacity...?
[09:15] <cjae> ok I have two seagate freeagent external hardrives and have used ntfsprogs to rename them (much easier to tell apart) how come they come up as freeagents in my bios?
[09:15] <r3dux> Kartargis, I'd guess yes, even though I've specifying 500, the user as set up on the NAS interface is 700 which over-rides it... try using my format for connection, ya never know..
[09:15] <r3dux> "i'm"
[09:15] <ActionParsnip1> cjae: bios doesnt read the names, bios can only read what the firmware says
[09:16] <ActionParsnip1> cjae: the names you gave are read by higher level OSes like Linux or windows
[09:16] <ActionParsnip1> KyleGP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B
[09:16] <AZBigK> hello
[09:16] <cjae> ActionParsnip1: wasn't aware the the firmware had labels as well thank you
[09:16] <naymyowin> Boohbah: what do i do?
[09:16] <Kartagis> when I poweroff, what runlevel does the system go into?
[09:16] <AZBigK> i wonder if i am in the right channel
[09:16] <Knysliux001> Hi, can you help me. When I enable compiz, all QT based applications shows menus like this http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3640/qtmenus.png
[09:17] <Knysliux001> As you can see no fonts visible
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> cjae: when you boot and the devices are detected, those are the things read from the IDE of each hard drive
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> cjae: you can't modify that
[09:17] <Kartagis> AZBigK, you never know unless you ask
[09:17] <KyleGP> also im in xchat, might I ask how you highlight my name when you reply to me? lol
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> Knysliux001: i'd head into #compiz for support
[09:17] <r3dux> Kartagis, um, none? I don't think it "drops down" from 5...
[09:17] <r3dux> or 7
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> Knysliux001: compiz breaks tinigs good, its not worth it imho
[09:17] <Knysliux001> ActionParsnip1: thanks for advice ;)
[09:17] <AZBigK> i would like to build a ubuntu with my customized apps
[09:18] <cjae> ActionParsnip1: I guess it is just like normal IDES coming up in the bios as master or slaves and such
[09:18] <linnuxxy> I've installed ubuntu 8.10 from liveCD... and then apted install kubuntu-desktop... the problem is I have blue booting screening of kubuntu know... how return back to the orginal brown booting progress bar of ubuntu?
[09:18] <AZBigK> is there any specific tutorial out there?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> cjae: SATA drives have IDE too
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> cjae: IDE == integrated Drive Electronics
[09:18] <r3dux> AZBigK, there's an app that does exactly that - stores the config of ubuntu.... I can't think of the name of it though!!! =/ Lemme google...
[09:18] <Kartagis> KyleGP, Settings > Preferences > Alerts
[09:18] <sd32> is  there a text to speech application for gnome or do i have to use kttsd?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> cjae: I think you mean PATA
[09:18] <cjae> ActionParsnip1: I meant to say it another way you know what I mean though
[09:19] <KyleGP> I dont have that option
[09:19] <KyleGP> wait
[09:19] <r3dux> AZBigK, this isn't the app - but same result >>> http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-restore-all-installed-packages-in.html
[09:19] <KyleGP> found it lolol
[09:19] <xtor_> I cannt seem to play audio in my quictime movies, any suggestions?
[09:20] <dronix> is it only on quictime?
[09:20] <AZBigK> will a customized kernel for specific laptop make it boot and run faster?
[09:20] <KyleGP> ah but I mean how do I make it highlight your name
[09:20] <KyleGP> like
[09:20] <KyleGP> every reply i get from you guys has my name in front, then your reply
[09:20] <ActionParsnip2> cjae: i do, but I always pick people up when they say IDE
[09:20] <KyleGP> and its in red
[09:20] <cjae> ActionParsnip1: yes I know about the confusing IDE/PATA/SATA/ATAPI naming convention and rules
[09:20] <Seper> Kartagis: Run level 0 I believe. Trying to confirm
[09:20] <r3dux> AZBigK, the app is called APTonCD
[09:20] <xtor_> only on quicktime? Yes--everything else plays and sounds perfect, dronix
[09:21] <Kartagis> KyleGP, check the appropriate boxes
[09:21] <cjae> ActionParsnip tired
[09:21] <dronix> xtor_: let me try myself and see if I have any trouble before I tell u
[09:21] <Athenon> looks like bind works fine, but i have a little error in syslog: http://pastebin.com/m20479eb4
[09:21] <linnuxxy> this will solve it sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
[09:21] <linnuxxy> bye
[09:22] <KyleGP> these boxes dont answer the question? Are you personal messaging me?
[09:22] <dronix> xtor_: what version r u using?
[09:22] <cjae> ActionParsnip I think I must have just blocked the idea of the firmware being read because it USB, don't ask me why
[09:22] <Seper> Kartagis: You want to know for poweroff only, and not reboot?
[09:23] <Kartagis> Seper, both
[09:23] <xtor_> I have the latest VLC and Real Player(helix) 11
[09:23] <dronix> xtor_: whats you ubuntu version?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip2> xtor_: tried mplayer?
[09:23] <Seper> Kartagis: Your run levels are specified in /etc/rc*
[09:23] <cjae> why is it so hard for a gui front end to be made for mplayer?
[09:23] <xtor_> mplayer aka totem? Yeah
[09:24] <xtor_> tried real player, vlc, mplayer...they all FAIL
[09:24] <beli> xtor_: its not a player issue...
[09:24] <xtor_> Maybe I should download quicktime from apple
[09:24] <Kartagis> Seper, I know, but I don't know what is poweroff and reboot
[09:24] <celeritas> it's pretty common when it's a borked file
[09:24] <dronix> xtor_: try this: sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[09:24] <Seper> Kartagis: The folders that have lots of links that start with K are shutdown folders
[09:24] <xtor_> Real player told me that it could not run it
[09:24] <beli> xtor_: its a codec issue...
[09:24] <xtor_> dronix, quicktime is apple not ms
[09:24] <Seper> Kartagis: On a normal system, I believe they are 0 and 6
[09:24] <beli> xtor_: but qt is native for w32
[09:25] <xtor_> of course its a codec issue..Im just shocked vlc doesnt have the codects
[09:25] <dronix> xtor_: doesn't matter
[09:25] <ActionParsnip2> xtor_: get the medibuntu repo and install w32codecs or w64codecs
[09:25] <Seper> Kartagis: K is for Kill, S is for Start
[09:25] <spaarkplug> hi,.. can somebody spare one minute with me. I have a question. Thanks SO much. I'm from San Diego,CA. thanks.
[09:26] <ActionParsnip2> !ask | spaarkplug
[09:26] <jigp> ziroday : can I use the os that I've installed in virtualbox ose?
[09:26] <spaarkplug> oh,.. ok. kewl.
[09:26] <Seper> Kartagis: This info used to be kept in /etc/inittab, but I think Ubuntu uses upstart now. I'm unfamiliar with how upstart operates. :\
[09:26] <plouffe> is there a command to directly find out the location of an executable for a given command name? (without searching directories)
[09:26] <gooody> need help with audio
[09:26] <ActionParsnip2> plouffe: which <command>. E.g.  which gedit
[09:26] <dronix> goody: whats up?
[09:26] <ActionParsnip2> gooody: can you be specific
[09:27] <plouffe> thanks ActionParsnip
[09:27] <spaarkplug> Well,.. this is the question. How can i kill network manager from starting each time? I want to setup a DHCP3 server on my machine?
[09:27] <celeritas> Seper: Kartagis: upstart is pretty much dropin replacement for SysV init
[09:27] <ActionParsnip2> haha my home pc got bored
[09:27] <Seper> Kartagis: rc1, should be single user mode system
[09:27] <gooody> audio works after a couple of days after installation but now i don't have any audio.
[09:27] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip2, lol
[09:27] <ActionParsnip2> !bum | spaarkplug
[09:28] <ActionParsnip2> spaarkplug: i persnally uninstall it. i hate it
[09:28] <Kartagis> damn! update-rc.d umountsmb adds S?? too, which I don't need
[09:28] <Kartagis> can I just delete them
[09:28] <Kartagis> ?
[09:28] <dronix> goody: is that including system audio?
[09:28] <mahin> test
[09:28] <r3dux> Kartagis, I'm watching this w/ interest... hope you sort it :)
[09:28] <celeritas> Kartagis: update-rc.d
[09:29] <spaarkplug> thats what i was about to do? but I thought I may need the package, and didnt want to uninstall it,.. but i cant find in in /etc/init.d ,.. I dont know where ubuntu has kept the services.
[09:29] <gooody> dronix: yup. can't hear any audio during login.
[09:29] <mahin> i'm new in this platform
[09:29] <Kartagis> r3dux, can I just delete S?? ?
[09:29] <Seper> Kartagis: Yeah, but generally you should use the tool celeritas said
[09:29] <dronix> goody: seems like your audio driver got messed up in the update
[09:29] <spaarkplug> anyways... thanks ActionParsnip2
[09:29] <ActionParsnip2> mahin: everyone is at some point
[09:30] <Kartagis> Seper, it added the S?? too, which I don't need
[09:30] <celeritas> update-rc.d apache2 remove, for instance
[09:30] <dronix> goody: what is your system info?
[09:30] <gooody> dronix: using ubuntu hardy.
[09:31] <celeritas> Kartagis: the rcS?
[09:31] <mahin> ubunto is easy

[09:31] <Kartagis> celeritas, yes
[09:32] <Kartagis> brb, to try it
[09:32] <celeritas> Kartagis: fairly sure that's pretty important, documentation in Debian at least says it calls /etc/rcS.d stuffs

[09:34] <celeritas> Seper: dodged off, hope he backed that up
[09:34] <r3dux> Anyone had much luck w/ 3D accel in Virtualbox (64 bit linux host, 64 bit Windows 7 beta guest)?
[09:34] <r3dux> I've got sound working after installing some realtek drivers in the vm... but accel is a no-go...
[09:34] <celeritas> r3dux: i'm not aware that the 3d accel supports DirectX
[09:35] <Seper> celeritas: eh, if he knows what runlevels are, I figure he's probably ahead of the curve. But yeah, let's hope i'm right. :)
[09:35] <r3dux> It has a DX <--> OGL translation layer in VirtualBox 2.1.4, but I think it's a bit fussy
[09:35] <sixnonep> Need to know how to become root: etc/privoxy/config
[09:36] <r3dux> OR ---- I'm wrong, and it only has a GL layer... Hmm... so aero might not work but an OGL app might? Will have to look into it.

[09:43] <spaarkplug> r3dux: thanks so much.
[09:43] <r3dux> spaarkplug, as there is only the ubuntu chan on ubuntu irc you'll need to connect to another network in xchat or wtevr you're using first.
[09:43] <bazhang> spaarkplug, you dont join from the command line; use an irc client

[09:49] <celeritas> How can I set xdmcp to only listen to connections on specific IPs? Notably, I want to use my own computer from computer lab.

[09:54] <dronix> vadi01_: whats your problem?
[09:54] <vadi01_> 2 problems
[09:54] <celeritas> sigma_za: if you can't include the images in the PDF, you can't really use PDF
[09:54] <sigma_za> celeritas: nope they are jpegs
[09:54] <vadi01_> 1. the shortcut key for adjusting brightness not working
[09:55] <vadi01_> 2. webcam not working
[09:55] <sigma_za> celeritas: i dont think you understand what I am trying to do
[09:55] <vadi01_> webcan is inbuilt
[09:55] <celeritas> sigma_za: you have a bunch of images. you're trying to add them to a PDF

[09:57] <ActionParsnip2> !webcam | vadi01_
[09:57] <sigma_za> celeritas: yeah - i can add them in the actual pdf but thats going to mess up the resolution, thats why i want them as attachments to the pdf rather
[09:57] <dronix> vadi01_: sorry, I have no idea
[09:57] <Seper> vadi01_: I have a different cam than you, but it has no driver to make it work under Linux.
[09:58] <celeritas> sigma_za: why not just archive the pdf with the images?
[09:59] <sigma_za> celeritas: you mean like put them all into a zip file?
[09:59] <celeritas> sigma_za: or are you giving the paperwork to someone who has no conception of "directory" or "archive"
[09:59] <celeritas> sigma_za: yes
[10:00] <sigma_za> celeritas: yes thats a concern as well, hr people here are really thick
[10:00] <Stylee> I got a GA-EX58-UD4P mother board, which has hardware raid, I configure it in BIOS and RAID BIOS, but when I try to install ubuntu, it see it as 2 scsi HDDs... any pointers?
[10:00] <celeritas> sigma_za: so it absolutely has to be PDF?
[10:01] <celeritas> sigma_za: and a single file?

[10:02] <Kartagis> !it | rabber
[10:02] <sigma_za> well i guess if acrobat see's the attachment it should be fine as most recepients will be using it - i prefer a pdf because it can't be changed that easily and it retains layouts etc (something that usually gets messed up on normal documents)
[10:02] <Stylee> ActionParsnip2: thanks
[10:02] <ActionParsnip2> Stylee: it doesnt have hardware raid
[10:02] <ActionParsnip2> Stylee: it uses fakeraid
[10:02] <Psuedo> G'Day
[10:02] <Psuedo> I'm trying to batch install 84 unique packages. So I ran the command: sudo dpkg -i *.deb whilst I was in the directory which contained the packages. However, most of them didn't install correctly, because of dependencie problems. How do I install the dependencies in batch, along with the packages?
[10:03] <Stylee> ActionParsnip2: you mean my MB?
[10:03] <celeritas> sigma_za: if it has to be viewed by acrobat, well then it has to be PDF. so you are saying that PDF has attachments? Besides just embedded images?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip2> Stylee: yes, the SATA controllers can do rid type abilities (even though raid0 isnt raid) but the raid will need to be configured in the OS
[10:04] <ActionParsnip2> Stylee: ubuntu can set this up
[10:05] <ActionParsnip2> rid == raid*
[10:05] <Seper> Psuedo: 1 sec
[10:05] <Stylee> ActionParsnip2: I see, thank you
[10:06] <ActionParsnip2> Stylee: if you had true raid you would boot to the raid bios and create a new array
[10:06] <Stylee> ActionParsnip2: so I did
[10:06] <ActionParsnip2> Stylee: and linux would then only see 1 drive but the rest is handled by a controller rather than some garbage that motherboard manufactures bodge on

[10:08] <Psuedo> Seper: Okay!
[10:08] <Stylee> ActionParsnip2: so if linux doesn't recognize it as one drive, is a fake?
[10:08] <Geek`N`Proud> WhoCouldIbe, which menu do you get?
[10:08] <Geek`N`Proud> grub one or Windows one?
[10:09] <WhoCouldIbe> the windows one
[10:09] <Geek`N`Proud> For Windows, edit boot.ini
[10:09] <Geek`N`Proud> run notepad as an administrator
[10:09] <Geek`N`Proud> then File -> Open
[10:09] <ActionParsnip2> Stylee: yep, you need to configure the raid in the live environment then install to that
[10:09] <Geek`N`Proud> then put in the filename box C:\boot.ini
[10:09] <Geek`N`Proud> you should be able to remove it from that file
[10:09] <Geek`N`Proud> ^^
[10:10] <ActionParsnip2> Geek`N`Proud: you will need: attrib -r -a -s -h C:\boot.ini
[10:10] <ActionParsnip2> Geek`N`Proud: its a heavily guarded file

[10:18] <naymyowin> ActionParsnip2: how do u think i should do?
[10:19] <ActionParsnip2> naymyowin: ok are you talking about a dialup modem or a wireless device?
[10:19] <vadi01_> Pseuso: included with a inbuilt firewall using iptables
[10:19] <Phil_Ewert> ActionParsnip2 : thx. I guess Thunderbird is better for compatibility
[10:19] <ActionParsnip2> Phil_Ewert: both are RFC compliant
[10:19] <Phil_Ewert> yeah, I meant cross system availibility
[10:19] <ActionParsnip2> Phil_Ewert: so compatibility is not a factor, both use the same email protocols
[10:20] <spaarkplug> naymyowin: I dont see a usb modem attached to your laptops usb port.
[10:20] <Phil_Ewert> yaeh thx a lot!
[10:20] <alap> ActionParsnip2, yes its linux-kernel-devel
[10:20] <ActionParsnip2> Phil_Ewert: well its running in linux, why does the fact that it runs in windows matter?

[10:22] <ActionParsnip2> Phil_Ewert: if they have used thunderbird and like it then that is the clear choice

[10:22] <Roxanne> and now I can't login so I downloaded the alternate CD
[10:22] <ActionParsnip2> Seper: oops
[10:22] <ActionParsnip2> Seper: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[10:22] <Roxanne> and it wont let me upgrade the system so that system integrity can be restored
[10:22] <ActionParsnip2> Psuedo: see above
[10:22] <aaron> whats a good way to make windows programs work on here? or is it even possible?
[10:22] <Roxanne> is there any way to work around this and upgrade my system?
[10:22] <Seper> ActionParsnip2: He needs a way to auto get deps too
[10:22] <ActionParsnip2> !wine | aaron
[10:23] <ActionParsnip2> Seper: when it fails run: sudo apt-get -f install and deps will be installed
[10:23] <Seper> Psuedo: Your link is bad
[10:23] <spaarkplug> aaron: which windows program are you trying to run in ubuntu ? Most dont as you know microsoft is proprietary,
[10:23] <ActionParsnip2> Seper: and then the apps he dpkg'd
[10:23] <ActionParsnip2> aaron: not ALL apps run
[10:23] <ActionParsnip2> !appdb | aaron
[10:23] <Roxanne> I have the alternate CD in now but there's no option to upgrade and the Alt-F2 command isn't prompting a text box to enter kdesudo "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade/"
[10:23] <Seper> ActionParsnip2: perhaps
[10:24] <Psuedo> Seper: Really?
[10:24] <Roxanne> and when I used other boot options
[10:24] <ActionParsnip2> Roxanne: replace /cdrom/ with wherever the cd is mounted to
[10:24] <aaron> right now im just trying to get wow to run but im trying to get away from windows
[10:24] <Seper> Psuedo: Try the link yourself
[10:24] <ActionParsnip2> aaron: WoW runs awesome in wine
[10:24] <Roxanne> bash shows that there is a Kernel Panic - not synching error
[10:24] <Roxanne> syncing*
[10:24] <tony403> anyone know how to make a shortcut to the desktop from the gnome menu?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip2> Roxanne: try: sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade
[10:25] <aaron> i installed wine but cant get anything to work

[10:26] <ActionParsnip2> !repo | aaron
[10:26] <spaarkplug> aaron: just do sudo apt-get install wine
[10:26] <ActionParsnip2> aaron: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[10:26] <ActionParsnip2> spaarkplug: theres a later version on winehq's own repo
[10:26] <aaron> ok just did that
[10:27] <spaarkplug> aaron: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add " http://www.winehq.org/download/deb <distribution name > to the bottom in that case.
[10:27] <ActionParsnip2> aaron: the community docs will sow you how to install WoW
[10:27] <spaarkplug> yup.
[10:28] <endial> I heard that WoW will run slow if you use Wine is that true?
[10:28] <jigp> hello I installed sun xVM VirtualBox and installed there xp. how to enable the usb ?
[10:28] <aaron> ok thx ill try it
[10:29] <jigp> ActionParsnip2: the intallation was successful. I enable usb but it cannot be detect
[10:29] <ActionParsnip2> aaron: fyi, WoW gets one of the highest rankings on the appdb
[10:29] <ikonia> jigp: virtual box release do not all support USB
[10:29] <naymyowin> ActionParsnip2:
[10:29] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: what cant be detected?
[10:29] <naymyowin> ActionParsnip2: hey
[10:29] <ikonia> jigp: there are different versions, one of them does not have usb support
[10:29] <naymyowin> ActionParsnip2 : what i m supposed to do?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip2> naymyowin: i asked you a question, you never replied
[10:30] <platius> jigp; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB  you might look here
[10:30] <jigp> ikonia ActionParsnip2 platius : I downloaded it here http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.1.4/virtualbox-2.1_2.1.4-42893_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb ...
[10:31] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: you might need more than that if there are dependancies
[10:32] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/12/18/install-virtualbox-21-in-ubuntu-810/
[10:32] <jigp> ActionParsnip2:  im using 8.04 gnome
[10:32] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: thats fine, the repo has a hardy too
[10:33] <jigp> sorry got dc
[10:33] <jigp> what is wrong with pidgin lols
[10:34] <Seper> Psuedo: Get it resolved?
[10:34] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: the repo has a hardy folder too so just change intrepid to hardy in your sources.list and it will install the same
[10:35] <jigp> ActionParsnip2 : like this wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[10:36] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: that will add the key to your system to authenticate the packages
[10:37] <jigp> ActionParsnip2 : so this is the first step right?
[10:37] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: you also need to gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the repository to the bottom of the list and press enter at the end of the line
[10:37] <jigp> ok ill type that. whew this is weird command.im not a programmer and im afraid
[10:38] <jigp> ActionParsnip2 : I cannot type in terminal. the terminal looks gray
[10:39] <jigp> gray color or is this black ?
[10:39] <jigp> I cannot type anything
[10:39] <endial> anyone know the dll files needed to run wow on wine by chance?
[10:39] <jigp> even cntrl + alt T
[10:39] <Acedip> anyone familiar with playing counter strike on ubuntu
[10:40] <Acedip> ??
[10:41] <jigp> W: GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY DCF9F87B6DFBCBAE
[10:41] <ikonia> jigp: contact that repo owner
[10:41] <ikonia> jigp: get the public key, that's not an ubuntu repo
[10:41] <jigp> I don't know the owner
[10:41] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: then change the colouring of the terminal
[10:41] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: or install tilda
[10:42] <balrog__> how do i stop X from starting?  im trying to turn a desktop install into a server install.
[10:42] <ikonia> jigp: I'm sure there will be details on teh virtualbox website on how to use their repos
[10:42] <ikonia> balrog__: remove the gdm init script, or disable it with update-rc.d
[10:42] <jigp> I just want to use my PLDT WEROAM wireless internet in xp inside ubuntu because ubuntu does not recognize the pldt weroam wireless internet
[10:42] <Acedip> anyone familiar with playing counter strike on ubuntu ??
[10:42] <ikonia> Acedip: why don't you just ask the question
[10:42] <arturo_on_rails> Hi guys.  I'm trying to update an old ubuntu box.  It's running feisty apparently, but do-release-upgrade fails miserably (lots of 404s on fetching)...
[10:43] <jigp> pldt weroam is for xp / mac
[10:43] <Roxy> In the Alternate Kubuntu CD if I select the Install in text mode will the installation affect my entire harddrive and all of my personal files or will it only overwrite the system files it needs to replace for the installation?
[10:43] <ikonia> !upgrade > arturo_on_rails
[10:43] <ikonia> arturo_on_rails: you have to change the repo destination for 7.04 upgrades
[10:44] <balrog__> ikonia: so i would then start X by running startx on the tty i wish to use?
[10:44] <ikonia> balrog__: or re-enable gdm
[10:45] <vadi01_> wine?
[10:45] <ikonia> vadi01_: yes ?
[10:45] <Roxy> In the Alternate Kubuntu CD if I select the Install in text mode will the installation affect my entire harddrive and all of my personal files or will it only overwrite the system files it needs to replace for the installation? Does it format the drive?
[10:45] <balrog__> ikonia: how would i disable gdm in the first place?  would i just `sudo update-rc.d remove gdm`?
[10:45] <vadi01_> counter strike
[10:45] <ikonia> Roxy: there is a partition section of the install where you choose what file systems to work
[10:45] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: only the programs will be upgraded, your home folder will be untouched
[10:45] <vadi01_> am also interested. anything on google?
[10:46] <ikonia> vadi01_: you're just saying random words - do you want to ask a question
[10:46] <Roxy> Okay
[10:46] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: it doesnot format the drive unless you tell it to
[10:46] <ikonia> balrog__: check the synatax on update-rc.d
[10:46] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: run your backup so your data is up to date then it doesnt matter
[10:46] <Roxy> Thank You
[10:48] <sixnonep> to edit: /etc/privoxy/config do I simply gksudo /etc/privoxy/config ?
[10:48] <Roxy> So I want to use the Guided - resize SCSI partition #1 and use freed space or use entire disk
[10:48] <ActionParsnip2> sixnonep: gksudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config
[10:48] <ikonia> Roxy: if thats what you want, go for it
[10:49] <ActionParsnip2> sixnonep: gksudo to run graphical app as root, gedit is the app to run, /etc/privoxy/config is the file to open
[10:49] <Roxy> I'm looking for the option to overwrite my current Kubuntu distro but leave the home folder untouched
[10:49] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: i thought you were upgrading your current install?
[10:49] <Dabbill> I am haveing problems with my remote desktop. Some times it will connect and some times it wont. Right now I can access my router, webpage, and SSH but remote desktop wont connect
[10:49] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: is home part of the / partition or is it on its own partition?
[10:49] <Roxy> I am but there isn't an upgrade option
[10:50] <Roxy> it's part of the partition
[10:50] <sixnonep> ActionParsnip2 - ok, so I'm looking at permissions to edit /etc/privoxy/config
[10:50] <ikonia> Roxy: have you read the upgrade instructions ?
[10:50] <ikonia> !upgrade > Roxy
[10:50] <Roxy> I have
[10:50] <ikonia> Roxy: ok - so I assume you've mounted the ISO rather than booting from it ?
[10:50] <ActionParsnip2> sixnonep: if you run the command i gave you will be able to edit and save the /etc/privoxy/config file
[10:50] <ikonia> Roxy: as that's what the instructions tell you do to
[10:50] <sixnonep> ok
[10:50] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: sounds like you have the desktop cd, not the alternative
[10:51] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: you need to backup your data and reinstall as you have not put /home on a seperate partition (this should be the default option in my opinion but oh well)
[10:51] <Roxy> I loaded up the Alternate CD but there was no upgrade option so I tried Alt-F2 but it doesn't prompt a textbox to input kdesudo "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" and then I tried kdesudo "sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" both resulted in kernel panic errors
[10:52] <dirtbag> what else is out there for desktop environments besides gnome, xfce, and kde?
[10:52] <Roxy> I used Other options on the splash screen
[10:52] <vadi01_> is there any good open source language translator for ubuntu]
[10:52] <vadi01_> would like to translate text from english to russia
[10:52] <vadi01_> russian
[10:52] <ikonia> Roxy: show me the instructions you're following
[10:52] <Dabbill> I am haveing problems with my remote desktop. Some times it will connect and some times it wont. Right now I can access my router, webpage, and SSH but remote desktop wont connect. Any ideas whats going on?
[10:52] <bazhang> dirtbag, lxde, and a ton of others check synaptic package manager
[10:53] <ikonia> Roxy: it says you are supposed to mount the CDROM on your existing install - not boot from it
[10:53] <bazhang> vadi01_, phrases or single words or what
[10:53] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: is the remote deskop on the same system as the rest?
[10:53] <Roxy> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[10:53] <Roxy> Oh
[10:53] <arturo_on_rails> ikonia: thanks a lot
[10:53] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, yes
[10:53] <vadi01_> both
[10:53] <Roxy> Is there a command to do that in bash as the GUI isn't functioning on my system
[10:53] <bazhang> vadi01_, I just usually use the web interface of google translate
[10:54] <ikonia> Roxy: command to do what ?
[10:54] <Roxy> upgrade the distro from the CD
[10:54] <Roxy> the alternate CD
[10:54] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: check the service that you connect to is running and verify its port number, you could try restarting the remote desktop service
[10:54] <ikonia> Roxy: you're not reading the instructions
[10:54] <Boohbah_> Roxy: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:54] <ikonia> Roxy: the exact command you need are on that page you've posted
[10:55] <ikonia> Boohbah_: no
[10:55] <ikonia> Boohbah_: it's a CD install
[10:55] <ikonia> CD upgrade
[10:55] <FloodBot3> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:55] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, it was working like 2 hours ago, i rebooted the computer and now its not connecting, No settings for VNC have changed,
[10:55] <Roxy> Alright
[10:55] <ikonia> Roxy: actually READ the instructions
[10:55] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: then check the vnc server is running
[10:56] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: check any security is allowing the traffic
[10:56] <jigp> ActionParsnip2: saved gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:56] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, how do i see if its up and running
[10:56] <jigp> ActionParsnip2: what to do next?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: ps -ef | grep vnc     on the server
[10:57] <Roxy> I assume I'm supposed to enter kdesudo "sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" into bash which results in kdesudo cannot connect to X server after I've booted Kubuntu
[10:57] <ActionParsnip2> jigp: add the line from the site that defines the repo, but change intrepid for hardy
[10:58] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, says .. dabbill  6616 6599 0 02:57 pts/0 00:00:00 grep vnc
[10:58] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, i am guessing that means its running
[10:58] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: then the vnc server isnt running
[10:59] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: no thats the grep command you just ran running
[10:59] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, ahh okay
[10:59] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, how do i start the vnc server on command line then?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: the vncserver is not started so there is nothing to connect to
[10:59] <ne2k__> is there a ubuntu metapackage which installs an X Server and the gnome desktop (including all the prefs programs, network manager, etc.) but doesn't install the office suite, evolution, etc.? I need a gui for a server but don't want all the apps and games
[10:59] <aboucher> anyone use edubuntu servers before
[10:59] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: i dont use vnc, i think its horrible and its hugely unsecure
[11:00] <ActionParsnip2> !vnc | Dabbill
[11:00] <ne2k__> ActionParsnip2: vnc over ssh?
[11:00] <bazhang> aboucher, what do you mean; a server has no gui
[11:00] <ActionParsnip2> ne2k__: you got it, best way :)
[11:01] <aboucher> the edubuntu server has a gui. i ve been looking it up to use it in my school for thin clients and i just wanted how others think of it
[11:01] <xukun> Anybody know if the Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H Motherboard is supported, I did not found any info at the wiki hardware support
[11:01] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, do you use any remote desktop?
[11:01] <ikonia> xukun: check the chipsets - thats the key thing
[11:01] <xukun> ikonia, thanks
[11:01] <balrog__> is there anyway i can get tty1..6 to use the VGA out on my laptop?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: no i use ssh and X forwarding
[11:02] <xukun> ikonia, the chipset is nVidia GeForce 9400
[11:02] <letatcest> hello
[11:02] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, ahh i could never get x forwarding to work
[11:03] <ikonia> ok - so check if that is supported
[11:03] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: its default in openssh-server
[11:03] <letatcest> I have a sound question for the Asus M4A78 motherboard
[11:03] <benovic> ubuntu grub cant detect sidux, which i installed on hd0,1, but detects win xp (hd0,0). how can i configute grup to offer me booting in sidux, too?
[11:03] <aboucher> has anyone used edubuntu server for schools before
[11:03] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: in windows install Xming and then use the command: putty -X username@servername
[11:04] <bazhang> aboucher, you are having trouble running it? or just want to chat about it
[11:04] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: you can then launch apps and they will be drawn on the windows display, linux clients can do this without extra libs as they are already installed
[11:04] <ikonia> aboucher: just ask your question
[11:04] <aboucher> i just want to hear what other people have to say about it
[11:04] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, thanks i will check it out
[11:05] <Roxy> Oh
[11:05] <Roxy> I see, hahahaha
[11:05] <Xunie> What is the utility that asks your root pass when you goto synaptic or some other app?...
[11:05] <letatcest> or should i go to another channel?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip2> Xunie: gksudo
[11:06] <Xunie> letatcest, No, Ask here...
[11:06] <Roxy> Okay I have an error here, dist-upgrade.py:cannot connect to X server
[11:06] <Roxy> Is there a work around for this?
[11:06] <Jerusalem420> anyone else's firefox break this morning withh the latest update
[11:06] <ActionParsnip2> Xunie: gksudo <gui app name> <params>
[11:06] <Roxy> I think I have X started
[11:06] <ikonia> Roxy: I thought you where trying to upgrade ?
[11:06] <Psuedo> Here is my dpkg --configure -a output: http://nopaste.com/p/a14OVIAlb
[11:06] <Psuedo> Please tell me what I need to do
[11:07] <Xunie> ActionParsnip2, No,
[11:07] <Roxy> I am
[11:07] <Xunie> ActionParsnip2, That is the one (you get when you press alt+f2)
[11:07] <ikonia> Roxy: so what's the issue ?
[11:07] <Roxy> I mounted the CD drive and I typed in sudo sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade
[11:07] <Xunie> or atleast one that asks what to execute, even when I enter a shell or program ActionParsnip2
[11:08] <Roxy> and it gives me an X server error
[11:08] <Roxy> even though X is started
[11:08] <mrwes> Is it possible to run ssh Xforwarding from a Windows XP computer?
[11:08] <Xunie> Roxy, type 'echo $SCREEN' for me, and paste the output will ya?
[11:08] <paul68> jrib:  I tried to find a solution for th nfs on hardy but no luck will try another way to solve my problem
[11:08] <ikonia> Roxy: please show me the output of "id" on a command line
[11:08] <Roxy> no problem
[11:09] <Planteur> Hello everyone. Any Gnome Do user here?
[11:09] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, where do i run that command? I have xming server:0.0 running on my PC
[11:09] <ActionParsnip2> Xunie: i know what you mean, its krunner in kde. I dont use gnome
[11:09] <ne2k__> is there a ubuntu metapackage which installs an X Server and the gnome desktop (including all the prefs programs, network manager, etc.) but doesn't install the office suite, evolution, etc.? I need a gui for a server but don't want all the apps and games
[11:09] <jrib> paul68: the bug reports didn't have any comments with ideas?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: fine, in putty type: firefox &
[11:09] <joaopinto> ne2k__, "gnome" ?
[11:10] <Xunie> ActionParsnip2, nevermind..
[11:10] <Roxy> uid=1000(rox) gid=1000(rox) groups=4(adm), 20(dialout), 24(cdrom), 25(floppy), 29(audio), 30(dip), 44(video), 46(plugdev), 109(lpadmin), 111(scanner), 113(admin), 1000(rox)
[11:10] <Roxy> That's the readout
[11:10] <ne2k__> joaopinto: nope, that depends on evolution, rhythmbox, etc.
[11:10] <sprinkmeier> mrwes, you'd need an X server running on the windows computer. Then it can be done (in fact, I've done it). another way is to use VNC
[11:11] <paul68> jrib: no did not solve a thing followed a view optoins  however each time the same error will try to work something out with expect
[11:11] <ikonia> Roxy: type "xhost +" then try it
[11:11] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, i get error cannot open display: localhost:10.0
[11:11] <ikonia> Roxy: for some reason you're user environment is mesed up
[11:11] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: did you install xming?
[11:11] <joaopinto> ne2k__, because those are considered "gnome applications", if you want a customized set of apps, you will need to specific :P
[11:11] <ikonia> Roxy:  you've not done "su" at any point have you ?
[11:11] <jrib> paul68: with "expect"?  The program?
[11:11] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, yes
[11:11] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: is xming running on the windows pc?
[11:11] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, yes
[11:11] <Roxy> I have not
[11:11] <sprinkmeier> Dabbill, sounds like an ssh-X-forwarding error. did you "ssh -X"?
[11:12] <ne2k__> joaopinto: I think that's nonsense
[11:12] <paul68> jrib: yes got a script to do scp with expect and do my filetransfer like that
[11:12] <drkns> hello
[11:12] <drkns> I am using xubuntu 8.10
[11:12] <Dabbill> sprinkmeier, where would i type that?
[11:12] <joaopinto> ne2k__, what is nonsense ?
[11:12] <paul68> jrib: if you like I can send you this script through pastebin
[11:12] <Roxy> My user environment does seem to be rather messed up, I think the system upgraded with files from gutsy because I was trying to get my sources.list file to work with the Aptitude network install
[11:12] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: in putty make sure you have ticked Enable X forwarding
[11:13] <ne2k__> joaopinto: that rhythmbox is part of gnome
[11:13] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: you have to do the following: in the main configuration window of Putty (you get it when you start Putty), select Connection section, then SSH, then X11, and make sure you tick the Enable X11 Forwarding option.
[11:13] <drkns> my problem is it wont reboot after a while
[11:13] <jrib> paul68: oh, you mean avoiding nfs altogether.  If you still care about nfs, iirc nfs just couldn't start in the postinst script, so I'd look for logs that nfs writes to
[11:13] <sprinkmeier> I type "ssh -X user@host" to get an ssh session with X-forwarding on host. I can then execte X programs on host and have the display redirected to my current system
[11:13] <joaopinto> ne2k__, http://live.gnome.org/Rhythmbox
[11:13] <ne2k__> joaopinto: it's /for/ gnome, it's not part of it
[11:13] <drkns> it says unclean shutdown detected and start a drive check but my screen goes black and have to reboot
[11:13] <jrib> paul68: why do you need expect? Wouldn't scp be enough to transfer files?
[11:14] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, i do have it enabled
[11:14] <drkns> i did fsck while on live cd but didint help
[11:14] <paul68> jrib: I want to do it a sort of automatic way without having to enter my credentials each time
[11:14] <jrib> paul68: create an ssh key
[11:14] <joaopinto> ne2k__, apart from gnome the window manager, gnome has a defined list of applications as part of "gnome", rythmbox is one of those as far I can understand
[11:14] <sprinkmeier> paul68, ssh-keygen?
[11:14] <ne2k__> joaopinto: right. so how do I get gnome, but not the applications?
[11:14] <ne2k__> and an x server?
[11:14] <Dabbill> ah okay finaly it loads
[11:15] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, thanks,
[11:15] <paul68> jrib: tried that didn't want to work for some weird reason followed several howto but my system wouldn't allow it
[11:15] <Home> any body here with a presario cq40
[11:15] <drkns> anyone care to help?
[11:15] <jrib> paul68: it should work fine
[11:15] <joaopinto> ne2k__, maybe, gnome-session
[11:15] <jrib> drkns: you have to ask a question :)
[11:15] <defrysk> !ask
[11:15] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: all better?
[11:16] <defrysk> !anyone
[11:16] <ne2k__> joaopinto: ah, that looks good, thanks
[11:16] <drkns> jrib my question is how can i make my xubuntu to start up
[11:16] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, yes, its really slow tho :( but it seems to be working
[11:16] <joaopinto> ne2k__, and probably you also want gdm
[11:16] <sprinkmeier> drkns, are you sure its dead? screensaver? power-safe mode? boot into recovery mode, less to go wrong.
[11:16] <Home> totem is freezing in lap
[11:16] <drkns> it hangs during routine drive check
[11:16] <Home> please help
[11:16] <Roxy> ikonia would you know anyway to start to fix my user environment troubles?
[11:16] <paul68> jrib: I know but for some reason it doesn't want to on my system broke my braincells over it for three days and every option I took didn't want to work
[11:16] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: its not bad, yuo can tweak it some but its a shedload more secure than VNC, vnc doesnt encrypt its data
[11:17] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: you can use an ssh tunnel to make it secure though
[11:17] <ikonia> Roxy: I've no idea how you've messed them up
[11:17] <drkns> no screensaver no power-safe
[11:17] <ikonia> Roxy: have you ever done "su"
[11:17] <Roxy> I have not to the best of my knowledge
[11:17] <sprinkmeier> drkns, any reason to suspect HW might be flaky?
[11:17] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, yea i understand that, but i realy dont need encryption its just a PC running at my dads house to maily host pictues heh
[11:17] <jrib> paul68: feel free to pastebin if you want to troubleshoot
[11:17] <ikonia> Roxy: try typeing "gnome-terminal" see if it launches another termianl or not
[11:17] <ikonia> typing sorry
[11:18] <Roxy> I'm running Kubuntu
[11:18] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: well if you are typing any passwords they are transmitted as clear text
[11:18] <Iceman_B^Ltop> does anyone know how I can tell Ubuntu to send my "ctrl+s" to rTorrent instead of freezing the screen? I connect to my server through Putty
[11:18] <ikonia> Roxy: so ?
[11:18] <Roxy> Okie dokie
[11:18] <drkns> I believe after certain number of start up drives flag em to be checked and kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu 8.10 all work till this 30is start up
[11:18] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, ahh okay
[11:18] <Roxy> gnome-terminal: command not found
[11:18] <paul68> jrib: ok will do
[11:18] <ikonia> Roxy: try "xterm"
[11:18] <ne2k__> joaopinto: hmmm, gnome-session doesn't appear to actually depend on an x server
[11:18] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, know of a how to on doing tunneling?
[11:19] <drkns> and then it says i am gonna make a routine drive check and during that check it hangs and i have to shutdown the hard way and after that it says unclean shutdown detected and hangs again each time it checks the drive
[11:19] <Roxy> xterm Xt error: Can't open display xterm: DISPLAY is not set
[11:19] <ikonia> Roxy: show me the command you used again please.
[11:19] <ikonia> Roxy: the one you used to start the upgrade
[11:19] <sprinkmeier> drkns, correct, 37 mounts or 60 days by default (IIRC). I had a dodgy disk once that died if I used the second half of it, if you have something similar and the fsck is the only thing that normally touches that part of the disk it might explain it. You ran fsck from a live CD? result?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi
[11:19] <joaopinto> ne2k__, which makes sense, you can use a remote X server, for a local gnome session ;)
[11:20] <Roxy> Well this was a pre-existing problem it was actually what I was trying to fix by attempting the upgrade
[11:20] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: ssh is more than just a remote terminal dude
[11:20] <ikonia> Roxy: the one you used to start the upgrade
[11:20] <ne2k__> joaopinto: this is not helpful
[11:20] <ne2k__> joaopinto: I am wall aware of that
[11:20] <drkns> results are just fine no error nothing
[11:20] <Roxy> but I used mount /cdrom/ and then sh /cdrom/cdupgrade/
[11:20] <ikonia> Roxy: - no the one to start the upgrade
[11:20] <Roxy> while in the media directory
[11:20] <joaopinto> ne2k__, so you just need to install xorg
[11:20] <ikonia> Roxy: - no the one to start the upgrade
[11:20] <benovic> I need some help configuring grub so it boots in my second OS, sidux. I get an error 13 when I write the stuff directly in menu.lst
[11:20] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, thanks for all your help, yea I am trying to learn all this remote stuff up till a month ago my linux PC was right next to me, so i could just use it as a normal PC to configure every thig
[11:21] <Roxy> Well I was in the command line install but then I exited and booted Kubuntu
[11:21] <Roxy> and then I did what you told me and read the directions again
[11:21] <ikonia> Roxy: - no the one to start the upgrade
[11:21] <ikonia> Roxy: just show me the command you used to start the install
[11:21] <ikonia> Roxy: the "upgrade" to be %100 clear
[11:21] <Roxy> I was running the upgrade from the mounted cd and it was kdesudo "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
[11:21] <sprinkmeier> drkns, if the lice CD fsck worked then why is the normal boot still trying to fsck? the lice CD should have reset the mount counter....
[11:21] <ikonia> Roxy: ok - perfect
[11:22] <ikonia> ok so do "DISPLAY=:0.0"
[11:22] <ikonia> then try"xterm"
[11:22] <drkns> I dont understand either
[11:22] <ne2k__> joaopinto: you know i think I might just install gnome and be done with it
[11:22] <drkns> i am doing fsck now and it found some errors this time
[11:22] <ActionParsnip2> Dabbill: some apps have http interfaces too, you can look into those
[11:22] <sprinkmeier> !name drkns
[11:22] <Roxy> xterm Xt error: Can't open display xterm: DISPLAY is not set
[11:22] <sprinkmeier> !name > drkns
[11:22] <Roxy> same error
[11:22] <Dabbill> ActionParsnip2, yea i have gotten a couple of those working as well
[11:22] <ikonia> Roxy: show me "echo $DISPLAY" please
[11:22] <Iceman_B^Ltop> does anyone know how I can tell Ubuntu to send my "ctrl+s" to rTorrent instead of freezing the screen? I connect to my server through Putty. Same question for ctrl+q
[11:23] <drkns> /dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
[11:23] <drkns> Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
[11:23] <drkns> Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.  Fix<y>? yes
[11:23] <drkns> Inode 573577 was part of the orphaned inode list.  FIXED.
[11:23] <drkns> Pass 2: Checking directory structure
[11:23] <FloodBot3> drkns: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:23] <drkns> Entry 'poker.xml' in /usr/share/gnome/help/aisleriot/C (574970) has deleted/unused inode 573570.  Clear<y>? yes
[11:23] <sprinkmeier> drkns, are you sure you fsck'ed all the partitions? /boot and / are the only ones by default, did you add any?
[11:23] <Roxy> rox@rox-laptop:~@ echo $DISPLAY Readout: :0.0
[11:24] <drkns> Entry 'thieves.xml' in /usr/share/gnome/help/aisleriot/C (574970) has deleted/unused inode 573584.  Clear<y>? yes
[11:24] <drkns> am i deleting my stuff
[11:24] <ikonia> Roxy: there is actually a gui running isn't there ?
[11:24] <sprinkmeier> drkns, NFI.... but is sure looks like your FS is in pain... Usually the only time I get those sort of errors is when the disk is about to die. ext2 or 3?
[11:25] <balrog__> thanks for all your help ikonia
[11:25] <drkns> 3
[11:25] <Roxy> All I have running is bash, I can see text but X crashed so I don't believe so
[11:25] <ikonia> balrog__: no problem
[11:25] <xukun> How can I see the total % CPU used of the 4 cores?
[11:25] <ikonia> Roxy: then why are you trying to launch X applications
[11:25] <ikonia> Roxy: if there is no X server running - how do you expect to launch X applications ?
[11:25] <sprinkmeier> drkns, OK...3 i journalling so FSCK should _never_ need to fix stuff like this. SMART?
[11:25] <Roxy> because I started the X server and when I tried to access the upgrade it crashes
[11:25] <drkns> I am not sure
[11:26] <ikonia> Roxy: so why continue - it's crashed, you can't use it
[11:26] <alap_> ActionParsnip2: still i am unable to compile my kernel please help me out of this still stuck at same problem of module source .
[11:26] <sprinkmeier> drkns, can you run SMART tests?
[11:26] <Roxy> Yeah, I was hoping to fix that
[11:26] <Kartagis> if I want a script tp be run at powerofff, do I need to put the symlink in /etc/rc2.d/ or what directory?
[11:27] <drkns> how can i run that
[11:27] <ikonia> Roxy: you need to fix it before you upgrade
[11:27] <mrwes> Is it possible to run ssh X-tunneling from a Windows XP machine?
[11:27] <ikonia> Roxy: the upgrader is trying to use a gui -
[11:27] <Roxy> Alright
[11:27] <ikonia> mrwes: if you have an X11 server  you can
[11:27] <ActionParsnip2> alap_: apt-cache search kernel | grep source
[11:27] <mrwes> ikonia, is there one for XP?
[11:27] <sprinkmeier> drkns, I use "/usr/sbin/smartctl --test=short /dev/sda" or "... --test=long ...".
[11:27] <ikonia> mrwes: I assume you mean tunnel X over ssh - or just tunnels in general
[11:27] <ActionParsnip2> alap_: you could even grep for your current kernel version numbers
[11:28] <mrwes> ikonia, righ...tunnel X over ssh
[11:28] <etfb> I want to set up my system so that I can use the PHP mail() function, which requires sendmail and gods only know what else.  Does this mean I also need postfix?  I have huge gaps in my knowledge in this area.
[11:28] <sprinkmeier> Kartagis, power-off is runlevel 0, so /etc/rc0.s/S00xxxx should do
[11:28] <ikonia> mrwes: you'll need an X server on your local windows box - look at things like exceed, or PC-X-Ware
[11:28] <Roxy> Alright then, when I boot Kubuntu it mentions that the system recognizes a screen but that it can't access it, I have my xorg.conf file set to use vesa
[11:28] <ActionParsnip2> mrwes: i use xming myself, its free
[11:29] <mrwes> ikonia, K -- I'll check into those
[11:29] <haptiK> hi what application should i use to create a startup usb stick
[11:29] <Roxy> and I can't log in to Kubuntu as the X server keeps crashing
[11:29] <haptiK> isotostick.sh seems to have been phased out
[11:29] <drkns> no such file
[11:29] <mrwes> ActionParsnip2, looking at xming now -- thanks
[11:29] <sprinkmeier> mrwes, I sued to start a VNC session on the linux box, then connect (tunnelled through ssh) from the XP box as needed.
[11:29] <sprinkmeier> s/sued/used/
[11:29] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: bot to recovery root console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:29] <ActionParsnip2> Roxy: then reboot
[11:30] <Roxy> okay
[11:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> never mind, I got it. stty stop undef
[11:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> did the trick
[11:30] <mrwes> I prefer the security of ssh over vnc
[11:30] <ActionParsnip2> mrwes: make sure putty has the X forwarding option enabled too
[11:30] <ikonia> Roxy: use "safe mode" when you boot kubuntu
[11:30] <ikonia> ActionParsnip2: he needs a local xserver, putty is not an xserver
[11:30] <ActionParsnip2> mrwes: then its simply a case of: putty -X user@server
[11:30] <mrwes> ActionParsnip2, ok.. I have puTTY installed and working already
[11:30] <DeVilDeMonde> Hello, I'm having some problems with my logitech mouse resolution and was wondering if anybody could help me.
[11:30] <ActionParsnip2> ikonia: i told hiim/her to install xming, that is an x server
[11:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> speaking of VNC
[11:30] <mrwes> ActionParsnip2, and xming will start the Xserver ?
[11:31] <RizR> Hi. My sound card got jammed due to  (probably) an application using sound being killed.
[11:31] <ikonia> ActionParsnip2: ahh sorry, missed that
[11:31] <ActionParsnip2> mrwes: indeed
[11:31] <sprinkmeier> ActionParsnip2, mrwes using VNC has 2 advantages, no need to run X on XP, and the session is persistent
[11:31] <ActionParsnip2> ikonia: np ;)
[11:31] <haptiK> anyone? whats the name of the usb startup creator utility??
[11:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> my server is now probably standing still at the login screen, is there any way I can VNC to it from windows and use it as if I were sitting at the screen locally ?
[11:31] <RizR> I got an error like ALSA snd_pcm_open error: Device or resource busy when using mplayer
[11:31] <RizR> restart solves the issue
[11:31] <ActionParsnip2> sprinkmeier: disadvantages, exta software if ssh is already used, unsecure
[11:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> im using the normal Ubuntu 8.10
[11:31] <RizR> how to get this issue solved without restart?
[11:31] <RizR> using intrepid
[11:32] <ewook> RizR: restart pulseaudio to begin with.
[11:32] <mrwes> sprinkmeier, agreed, but I'd like to learn how to use ssh x-tunneling
[11:32] <bazhang> haptiK, usb-creator
[11:32] <ActionParsnip2> RizR: restart hal and alsa
[11:32] <RizR> did
[11:32] <ewook> ho.
[11:32] <ewook> oh
[11:32] <ActionParsnip2> !sound | RizR
[11:32] <sprinkmeier> mrwes, fair enough, just don't make it harder on yourself than you have to by trying to debug XP-X at the same time :-)
[11:32] <haptiK> bazhang : thank you
[11:32] <RizR> ewook: restarted pulseaudio and alsa-utils but doesnt work.
[11:32] <drkns> just no file or directory thats what iam getting
[11:33] <corinth> I need a c# compiler, what should I use?
[11:33] <mrwes> sprinkmeier, yah.... I only use XP when I'm at work and I'm looking for a secure way to jump on my box from there
[11:33] <RizR> ActionParsnip2: thanks. now restarted computer. gonna try to re-create it and see what happens
[11:33] <xukun> my Q8300 cpu is using 150% when I play 1080p movie. Is that normal?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip2> RizR: when it ceases, read dmesg | tail
[11:33] <sprinkmeier> mrwes, give up X altogether and just use putty and the command-line, works for me
[11:34] <Geek`N`Proud> xukun, what GPU do you use?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip2> sprinkmeier: true enough :(. users like a pretty picture to click on though
[11:34] <mrwes> sprinkmeier, yah.. and I have WinSCP running too
[11:34] <drkns> thatk you ppl
[11:34] <xukun> Geek`N`Proud, nvidia 8600GT
[11:34] <drkns> thanks
[11:34] <Geek`N`Proud> xukun, you may want to build a copy of mplayer or such from CVS/SVN
[11:34] <Geek`N`Proud> and build it with --enable-vdpau
[11:35] <Geek`N`Proud> you'll find you'll use far less CPU time then
[11:35] <jrib> corinth: check out mono
[11:35] <xukun> Geek`N`Proud, thank m8 I will look in to that
[11:36] <victim> DeVilDeMonde: did you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219894  about 1/2 way down
[11:36] <sprinkmeier> ActionParsnip2, I've seen some _really_ pretty ascii art....
[11:36] <alap_> ActionParsnip2: yes after apt-cache and grep what should i do as for compilation purpose i need package of modules which i don't have.
[11:36] <Jet``> pr0n ?
[11:37] <DeVilDeMonde> victim: Which part are you referring to?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip2> alap_: apt-cache search kernel modules
[11:37] <DeVilDeMonde> victim: Section 3?
[11:37] <mrwes> ActionParsnip2, how is the performance of xming over broadband?
[11:38] <tony403> using "eye of gnome" image viewer. how  do i change images with the mouse? it doesn't seem configurable
[11:38] <ActionParsnip2> mrwes: not dont that myself, i use ssh over WAN, broadband has sucky upload so may lg a little
[11:38] <tony403> it's very important to be able to use one hand
[11:39] <mrwes> ActionParsnip2, yah I figured that -- VNC is pretty laggy too -- but puTTY is pretty snapy
[11:39]  * DeVilDeMonde grabs lomoco now

[11:47] <DeVilDeMonde> silv3r_m00n: I'm playing with Wine now for World of Warcraft. it is most assuredly free to install and run Wine.
[11:47] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: AOE2 is a paid for product
[11:47] <dadi> salut
[11:47] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: that's what I am asking
[11:47] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, if you already own AOE2 then you can use Wine to play it
[11:47] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: once you ad the gpg key and the repo you wil lbe offered an upgrade of your wine install
[11:47] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: you mean that I shud install wine from wine repos and not from synaptic
[11:47] <dadi> je sais as comment je etulisie ce salon il a quelqui qui veut me aideé ,
[11:47] <silv3r_m00n> that's what you mean ?
[11:48]  * DeVilDeMonde is considering trying cedega... but doesn't like the closed sourceness of it all...
[11:48] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, you add the wine repo to the list
[11:48] <silv3r_m00n> I thought install AOE from wine repo :p
[11:48] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: synaptic uses the repos specified in /etc/apt/sources.lst
[11:48] <Geek`N`Proud> then you can install it through synaptic
[11:48] <diffred> hi! I've python 2.5.2, I want to update to python 2.6.1, can i do it with apt-get or something?
[11:48] <Geek`N`Proud> DeVilDeMonde, it is better for a select few games
[11:48] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: if you add the wine repo you can upgrade it using your normal upgrade method
[11:48] <Geek`N`Proud> for everything else Wine is superior
[11:49] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: you can use any package app you wish like synaptic or aptitude or apt-get
[11:49] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: well .. this AOE is kind of cracked thing.. will it still work with wine
[11:49] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: no idea
[11:49] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: by the way I already have wine installed
[11:49] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, originally cracked games were *required* to run on Wine
[11:49] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: but you will need to run the installer with wine and it will be installed in your home dir
[11:49] <Kartagis> !partitioning
[11:49] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: yes I installed it
[11:49] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: if its not the one from the wine repo, you need to get that one
[11:50] <DeVilDeMonde> Geek`N`Proud:  Interesting, i finally got fed up with all Microsloth's crap regarding Windoze, and am making a complete transition, Sabayon was my first choice, but it didn't like my ATI graphics card, which Ubuntu was grateful for...
[11:50] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: what is the difference ?
[11:50] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: the one on the wine repo is maintained by the peope who develop wine so will be updated more frequesntly
[11:50] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: plus its a later version
[11:50] <Geek`N`Proud> The Ubuntu one never changes version
[11:50] <Geek`N`Proud> it gets patches on top
[11:50] <silv3r_m00n> but the AOE is too old .. for wine to be updated to be able to run it
[11:50] <Geek`N`Proud> the Wine one stays with the latest version
[11:50] <Pythack> Hello, I have a problem with wine. When I install VoiceSpeaker and I start it, It closes brutally...
[11:51] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: if you use wine, you need it. short answer
[11:51] <DeVilDeMonde> Geek`N`Proud: The only reason i've been holding out for so long is because i'm a gaming fanatic.
[11:51] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: fine .. then in short let me get it
[11:51] <Geek`N`Proud> DeVilDeMonde, in that case.. Cedega doesn't really cost that much to try out
[11:51] <Psuedo> Does anyone know of an online place where I can upload a repository for free? Currently tryping Launchpad, can't figure it out...
[11:51] <Geek`N`Proud> DeVilDeMonde, but my experience was that Wine worked better for most of my games
[11:52] <DeVilDeMonde> Geek`N`Proud: yeah i noticed many of the newer and great games are supported by it...
[11:52] <Geek`N`Proud> that said I don't buy new PC games now
[11:52] <Geek`N`Proud> I have a PS3 instead
[11:52] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: I am already using this ies4linux.. will they break if I install wine like that ?
[11:52] <diffred>  hi! I've python 2.5.2, I want to update to python 2.6.1, can i do it with apt-get or something?. Thanks in advance
[11:52] <Geek`N`Proud> DRM on games kinda takes away the benefit of PC games
[11:52] <DeVilDeMonde> Geek`N`Proud: Oh? I can't stand not having super high resolution with a keyboard and mouse.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: no as it uses wine, the better version will most likely make it smoother
[11:53] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: that's interesting since currently ies4linux is very unsmooth
[11:53] <Geek`N`Proud> I can't stand all my games failing every time I upgrade my OS
[11:54] <Geek`N`Proud> (UT, SimCity 3000 etc.)
[11:54] <jrib> diffred: there's a ppa with python 2.6 if you just want the interpreter to play with
[11:54] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: I added that source and I can see something called wine-gecko .. what is that
[11:54] <ActionParsnip2> Geek`N`Proud: play old dos games like dune and duke nukem 3d, problem solved
[11:54] <DeVilDeMonde> Geek`N`Proud: We'll have to see if I have that problem, the way microsloth is floundering about, we may very well get some of the big developers to embrace Linux
[11:54] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: its IE libs that some apps use
[11:54] <diffred> jrib: so I cannot install it in an easy way? (don't know what ppa is sorry)
[11:54] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: is this wine thing all of windows ?
[11:55] <ActionParsnip2> !info wine-gecko
[11:55] <jrib> diffred: ppa is a repository (this is the easy way; you add a repository and install the package)
[11:55] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, no it's a compatibility layer which includes no Microsoft-written components
[11:55] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: no, its an abstraction later to translate windows calls to native linux system instructions
[11:55] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, think of it like being a bunch of DLLs for Linux and a PE interpreter
[11:55] <silv3r_m00n> Geek`N`Proud: hmm
[11:55] <diffred> jrib: oh thanks it's like adding a line in the Sources of synaptic?
[11:55] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[11:55] <DeVilDeMonde> Is there an OS emulator for Linux like VirtualPC for windoze?
[11:56] <Geek`N`Proud> DeVilDeMonde, loads
[11:56] <jrib> diffred: yes
[11:56] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: what abt things like registry ?
[11:56] <silv3r_m00n> I mean windows registry
[11:56] <Geek`N`Proud> DeVilDeMonde, VMWare Server, Virtualbox, QEMU etc.
[11:56] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, type regedit when you get bored ;)
[11:56] <Geek`N`Proud> sure there is xD
[11:56] <diffred> jrib: thanks so much! how can I google for that line?
[11:56] <DeVilDeMonde> Geek`N`Proud: Any experience with virtual box?
[11:56] <jrib> diffred: "python 2.6 ppa", second hit, last comment
[11:56] <silv3r_m00n> Geek`N`Proud: :-o
[11:56] <silv3r_m00n> what was that
[11:57] <Geek`N`Proud> DeVilDeMonde, my experience is that it has a neat load of features.. provided you use a 32-bit Windows
[11:57] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, regedit just like on Windows, you get that with Wine and it lets you edit the Wine (Win32) registry
[11:57] <silv3r_m00n> cool
[11:58] <Geek`N`Proud> and for those who doubt how good it is, I broke Windows Genuine Advantage Validation with a few registry imports
[11:58] <Geek`N`Proud> >.>
[11:58] <DeVilDeMonde> Geek`N`Proud: 64 bit Windoze OSes are plague ridden with bugs, even more so than 32bit Windoze. I'd definately be using a 32bit version on it.
[11:58] <silv3r_m00n> Geek`N`Proud: what abt things like .net framework .. can they too work in this wine ?
[11:58] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, yes they can.. there is also a .NET replacement for Linux too
[11:58] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, you can use MS .NET or Mono (Open Source .NET) in Wine
[11:59] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[11:59] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: if you read online about what wine is and what it can do you'll find out more than just asking in here
[11:59] <Geek`N`Proud> and yes Mono does work natively on Linux too.. if you're a .NET programmer or a guy who likes apps like Brasero or Banshee
[12:00] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: oh ok fine
[12:00] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: by the way I upgraded wine and ies4linux works more smoothly
[12:00] <silv3r_m00n> earlier used to flicker a lot
[12:00] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: sweet
[12:01] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: by the way this ies4linux had a ie 7 too  .. I cudnt get it to work
[12:01] <silv3r_m00n> any idea ?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: ive never used it, i have no need for it. Opera does all i could ask for
[12:02] <tony403> can someone tell me why i keep getting visual tearing with an 8800gt and latest ubuntu on mythtv, mplayer, and image viewer?
[12:02] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, because it isn't a full i37
[12:02] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip2: it says failed to initialise graphics system. please check whether your graphics card drivers are compatible with direct3d
[12:02] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: then you have some websearching to do, or ask in #wine
[12:02] <Geek`N`Proud> silv3r_m00n, it's a hack that lets you run the ie7 rendering engine inside an ie6 GUI
[12:02] <ActionParsnip2> #winehq
[12:04] <tony403> how do i change the scroll wheel amount in gnome?
[12:05] <njk> hi all

[12:07] <tony403> this is why i feared trying gnome. seems you can't do shit in it
[12:08] <Dabian> Hi, how do I check my swapspace for bad blocks, without deleting the existing bad block list?
[12:08] <ActionParsnip2> silv3r_m00n: if you read: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=147&iTestingId=35495 and scroll down you can see user commanents

[12:12] <ActionParsnip2> mylisto: the name gives it away, it will say deskto pin the file name, the other 2 are alternative and server which you dont want

[12:28] <b1n42y> njk, type the first few letters of persons name than tab than your message
[12:28] <Dabian> ActionParsnip2: Well, in Sys V unix .. "killall" was a tad more "intuitive", lol
[12:28] <ActionParsnip2> Dabian: i try to stick to stuff thats universal so i dont have to relearn a whole load of stuff if i get on a new system
[12:28] <b1n42y> njk, tab till you get correct name
[12:28] <njk> rrplay: cool
[12:28] <rrplay> njk: some one else had same problem and downgradied yhat one package back to previous versio and good to go this wa 2 days ago
[12:28] <Dabian> ActionParsnip2: IIRC "killall" *would* kill all processes. :)
[12:29] <njk> network-manager package?
[12:29] <njk> rrplay: networkmanager package
[12:29] <ActionParsnip2> Dabian: well, the processes owned by the user
[12:29] <rrplay> njk: yep
[12:29] <b1n42y> njk, rrplay , try wicd if you have issues with NM
[12:29] <Dabian> ActionParsnip2: I think it would ignore arguements .. yes, processes it could kill .. I don't think it was SUID, lol.
[12:29] <njk> rrplay: tried that too :( no use
[12:29] <eldenz> is ubuntu64.local supposed to be an alias to localhost?
[12:29] <Dabian> ActionParsnip2: Not as default, anyhow. :)
[12:29] <ActionParsnip2> Dabian: oh thatd be fun to watch :D
