[08:35] <Blaqligh1> rkpisanu: lol no, its my only dvd player, Im poor :(
[08:35] <Daisuke_Ido> Rat409: gputty is a poor solution for a windows ssh/telnet client (as it's gnome based)
[08:35] <Rat409> ohh yuh
[08:37] <rkpisanu> securecrt is a good ssh/telnet client for win
[08:37] <Lokifox> Blaqligh1: i know i saw somewhere online about resetting the password, i just dont recall. if you bear with me i can find it
[08:37] <Rat409> yuh
[08:38] <Lokifox> select, enter 7444
[08:38] <ManualOverDozer8> Lokifox : all the mom's and dad's be upset with you for that ;)
[08:38] <Blaqligh1> Lokifox: yeah I got it, just the the page finally loaded ;)
[08:38] <Lokifox> yeah, i gotta learn to keep my mouth shut =P
[08:38] <Chihork> so does anybody know why I can't access my external drive as a sambe mount?  Do I have my permissions set improperly at mount time?  Or do I need to do something special with /etc/smb.conf?  Or osmething completely different?
[08:39] <Blaqligh1> ok if the kid is half smart he;d know how to use the internet these days anyway so moms and dads wouldn't have a chance :D
[08:39] <ManualOverDozer8> Chihork : usb/firewire ?
[08:40] <Chihork> manualOverDozer8: usb
[08:40] <murlidhar> Blaqligh1: u do know how to use the interbet ;)
[08:40] <ManualOverDozer8> Chihork : could it possibly be a isb issue rather than a smb issue ?
[08:40] <ManualOverDozer8> usb*
[08:41] <Blaqligh1> murlidhar: very well thank you very much.
[08:41] <dread> why when i browse <IP_ADDRESS> the page says "It works" and when i browse with my ip the page says can't establish a connection to the server at my ip ?
[08:41] <ManualOverDozer8> CHihork : reason why i say : i see a good amount of users speak of USB issues
[08:41] <Chihork> ManualOverDozer8: not a chance.  I can ssh into the machine where the external drive is connected via usb, and browse fine.
[08:41] <legend2440> just found out there is a way to turn off that black box animation when minimizing
[08:41] <ManualOverDozer8> CHihork : just a though
[08:42] <ManualOverDozer8> legend2440 : and that is how ?
[08:42] <ManualOverDozer8> gfconf-editor ?
[08:42] <GeminiDragon> hello
[08:42] <Chihork> ManualOverDozer8: that's fair.
[08:42] <dread> !AskTheBot
[08:42] <ManualOverDozer8> CHihork : i dont do either, but i thought maybe i give an idea in there
[08:43] <legend2440> ManualOverDozer8: its a two step process posts #3 and 4       http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192521
[08:43] <ManualOverDozer8> i will look
[08:43] <GeminiDragon> I have a question... why did everyone adopt Ubuntu when it's really just a prettied up Debian?
[08:43] <legend2440> ManualOverDozer8: it worked for me
[08:44] <GeminiDragon> just curious
[08:44] <Blaqligh1> GeminiDragon: they are smarter than the average billy bob?
[08:44] <Daisuke_Ido> Chihork: are both linux boxes?
[08:44] <Chihork> daiske_Ido: they are.
[08:44] <Daisuke_Ido> Chihork: have you considered using NFS rather than Samba?
[08:45] <ManualOverDozer8> legend2440 very nice, now that i see that, i did the same thing, or somethign very similiar, so then maybe just changing the windows manager didnt do it, in that case. hmm nice find
[08:45] <GeminiDragon> smarter? so what governs smarts in the Linux box world? I thinks its more a case of forking code yet again, splitting man-power to water down the changes that can be made and have yet another distro out there to confuse newbs...
[08:45] <Flannel> GeminiDragon: These are better questions for #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:46] <Chihork> Daisuke_Ido: I have.  I questioned whether NFS would work given the certain router I'm using.  I actually tried sharing over NFS, and it didn't seem to appear (in nautilus.  I'm not sure how to browse network shares in any other way, actually)
[08:46] <GeminiDragon> better go wash behind my ears I guess
[08:46] <Chihork> Daisuke_Ido: if I could figure how to share with NFS, that would be fine
[08:46] <Daisuke_Ido> GeminiDragon: because there's more of a difference, especially in the community and support area - ubuntu has a support base that's new-user friendly.  ask half the questions in there that you get in here and be prepaerd for the barrage of RTFM NOOB
[08:46] <sd132> haha..installed envyNG ran it..nothing changed..lol
[08:47] <ManualOverDozer8> legend2440 i just happen to come across it in gfconf-editor , just by chance i see it, i dont like anything even close to animation in a workspace, so i disabled it
[08:47] <Daisuke_Ido> THAT is why ubuntu is more than a pretty debian
[08:47] <GeminiDragon> I quite like newbs actually... they make you dredge up unused thoughts
[08:47] <Flannel> Daisuke_Ido, GeminiDragon: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:47] <legend2440> ManualOverDozer8: yes that black box thing is really annoying
[08:47] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 : if you looked, you would see you can change your monitor type and refresh rates. its too bad you cant find such an easy thing
[08:48] <ManualOverDozer8> legend2440 yes very much so.
[08:48] <GeminiDragon> how is it off-topic? I'm asking why (as a newb) I should want to use Ubuntu instead of the original distribution
[08:48] <Flannel> GeminiDragon: this channel is for support only, "meta" questions go to -offtopic
[08:48] <ManualOverDozer8> legend2440 really i dont even see why it is benificial to anyone. maybe someday they will remove it from future Distros
[08:49] <vwstickman> hello
[08:49] <Ayabara> anyone using digikam 0.10.0-beta2?
[08:49] <sd132> ManualOverDozer8: in the screen resolution choice or in envy?
[08:49] <Chihork> I'd actually like to know that too.  I should be able to share my removable media drive over my network easily; or... get help for it.
[08:49] <GeminiDragon> I do want support though
[08:50] <aris> hello
[08:50] <Raz0R> can anyone help me, i cant get a dhcp offer using wireless. ethernet works fine but no wireless?
[08:50] <Flannel> GeminiDragon: you're more than welcome to be in more than one channel
[08:50] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 in nvidia-settings, in which should work properly now that you installed Envy and chose nViida to be your x-manager
[08:50] <legend2440> ManualOverDozer8: i read in some other post that the reason for it is to give you a visual clue as to where in the panel the window is minimizing to
[08:50] <GeminiDragon> yes, I've been into IRC land once or twice, thanks for looking after me
[08:51] <sd132> ManualOverDozer8:how do i do that?
[08:51] <Chihork> I'm no stranger
[08:51] <ManualOverDozer8> legend2440 : well it good that you fixed it and found the solution
[08:51] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 change monitor
[08:51] <vwstickman> Raz0r: what are your settings
[08:51] <GeminiDragon> so anyway, my question is, does anyone have any experience in integrating LDAP as a login and user management system within Linux as a replacement for Active Directory?
[08:52] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 by default its prob some generic model that only supports 60hz max, Plug adnd Pray as it has been dubbed
[08:52] <Lokifox> anyone know how to change the usplash? i've got an itching to play with GIMP
[08:52] <GeminiDragon> I want to do away with AD completely in our work environment and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction as to finding a place on where I can view configurations etc... It needs to have all of the same features as AD does
[08:52] <GeminiDragon> and more (which is why I want it)
[08:53] <th0r> Lokifox, look at a package called splashy
[08:53] <Chihork> interesting
[08:53] <Raz0R> vwstickman well im running wpa, essid is broadcast, im using the belkin f5d7000uk card (rtl8185l chipset)
[08:53] <Lokifox> nifty, thanks
[08:53] <Raz0R> vwstickman anything else?
[08:53] <vwstickman> Raz0r: can you detect the access point
[08:54] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 sorry, my bad, use this > gksu displayconfig-gtk
[08:54] <Raz0R> vwstickman yeah
[08:54] <sd132> ManualOverDozer8: got it, I apologize for being pessimistic
[08:54] <Raz0R> vwstickman iwlist wlan0 san shows my ap and 2 others
[08:54] <ManualOverDozer8> this is what you should use > gksu displayconfig-gtk
[08:54] <Xtreme_Great> hey all...
[08:54] <Raz0R> scaan*
[08:54] <Raz0R> lol scan i mean
[08:55] <Neogi> do it from the command-line man
[08:55] <Xtreme_Great> Ubuntu 0wnz
[08:55] <dread> why when i browse <IP_ADDRESS> the page says "It works" and when i browse with my ip the page says can't establish a connection to the server at my ip ?
[08:55] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 just click on the monitor icon and u will see a list
[08:55] <vwstickman> so it just scans?
[08:55] <Chihork> hahaha
[08:55] <sd132> ManualOverDozer8: it worked..thnaks again
[08:55] <Lokifox> dread: i assume you're on about a webserver?
[08:55] <sd132> *thanks
[08:55] <Shish_> hey, im tryin to update emesene to version 1.0.1....thing is, i have no idea how to do this! i cant see my contact list, and apparently this is the fix... any help?please
[08:55] <Neogi> one of the biggest problems with these channels is "use a GUI"... kinda defeats the purpose of Linux in the first place... configure it by hand and then you know exactly what is happening as frustrating as I know it can be but it's the only way to learn about the backend
[08:55] <Xtreme_Great> where do I get a tutorial on irc script writing?
[08:55] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 L if savy with conf files, you can manually edit xorg.conf just the same
[08:56] <dread> Lokifox, yes
[08:56] <Flannel> Neogi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication does that cover it?
[08:56] <Lokifox> which one?
[08:56] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 use this to find your monitors limits so you dont smoke it :P > sudo ddcprobe
[08:56] <p4_xxx> does someone know how to browse files from my desktop pc to my ubuntu server using the konsole?
[08:56] <dread> apache2
[08:56] <sd132> ManualOverDozer8:  got it up to 60 hz (its default) thanks again
[08:57] <Neogi> thanks, that's probably a good start :)
[08:57] <vwstickman> Raz0R: do you have it on roaming mode
[08:57] <Lokifox> dread: ah, never used that one. i used LAMP, which worked fine. maybe you could look into it?
[08:57] <Flannel> Neogi: Again, please take non-support related discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:57] <dread> lamp ? is it easy to use it ?
[08:57] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 one more thing
[08:57] <Lokifox> fairly straight-forward
[08:58] <Svenstaro> dread, tbh, not as a newbie if you don't understand the concepts. Once you get to know it it is super comfortable
[08:58] <ManualOverDozer8> sd132 you will notice a pretty nVidia screen on login/logout
[08:58] <dread> ehh ;p
[08:58] <dread> so noone can help me on apache2 ? it worked fine before i restarted my pc
[08:58] <sd132> ManualOverDozer8: ohh drat..;-)
[08:58] <dread> dunno whut happened now and doesnt work
[08:58] <Svenstaro> dread what be the prob?
[08:58] <Flannel> dread: do you have your router forwarding properly?
[08:59] <patrizia_> buon giorno
[08:59] <Svenstaro> dread, do you test it locally?
[08:59] <Shish_> hey, im tryin to update emesene to version 1.0.1....thing is, i have no idea how to do this! i cant see my contact list, and apparently this is the fix... any help?please
[08:59] <dread> yes i have my router configure
[08:59] <dread> only <IP_ADDRESS> and it says it works
[08:59] <dread> but with my ip nothing happened
[08:59] <patrizia_> *ubuntu.it
[08:59] <Neogi> oh forget this, can't even make an observation in this freaking channel without getting told off, I'll just sit on my hands and you dictate ok?
[08:59] <Svenstaro> dread, then you did indeed not forward it properly and apache2 itself is configured fine
[08:59] <dread> hmm
[09:00] <Svenstaro> Neogi, what?
[09:00] <dread> so its something about etc/hosts ?
[09:00] <phishers> Hello I have just installed ubuntu and installed gparted. When i open gparted i am unable to resize my partitions. i'm using ext3.
[09:00] <dread>  /etc/hosts*
[09:00] <Svenstaro> dread, do the following, from a unix machine outside (if availible to you) try to reach it, or ask one of uis
[09:00] <Flannel> Shish_: talk to the MOTU, 1.0.1 is a bugfix release, you should be able to get that fix put into the Hardy version.
[09:01] <Shish_> Flannel: MOTU?
[09:01] <vwstickman> phishers: you cannot resize an active partition
[09:01] <dread> i have no other machines
[09:01] <dread> eh
[09:01] <vwstickman> phishers: mounted i mean
[09:01] <Svenstaro> dread, not every router lets you access yourself using your outside ip, keep that in mind
[09:01] <Neogi> what about using qparted or something akin to that?
[09:01] <Flannel> Neogi: There's 1200 people in this channel, we have rules so it remains functional.  Please follow them.
[09:01] <Flannel> Shish_: Masters of the Universe, #ubuntu-motu
[09:01] <dread> okay so now whats the next step
[09:01] <Shish_> Flannel: lol, thanks a lot, appreciate it
[09:01] <co-PiloT> hai
[09:01] <dread> cause i got confused
[09:02] <Svenstaro> dread, ask someone of us to try to access it
[09:02] <co-PiloT> po cok
[09:02] <dread> may you ?
[09:02] <co-PiloT> matamu t?
[09:02] <Svenstaro> dread, well if you tell me the ip
[09:02] <co-PiloT> toha toha toha ninik
[09:02] <dread> <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:02] <Neogi> I know (and I guarantee that 90% of them are AFK)... anyway, enough said
[09:02] <dread> lol;p
[09:02] <Flannel> !id | co-PiloT
[09:02] <co-PiloT> malz t quit
[09:02] <erik_> I'm having an issue on my Hp laptop.  I accidentally left the machine on while unplugged. Now when I boot the machine it boots in a terminal interface and not gdm. I have to then log in as root and start gdm to get into a normal desktop environment. What can I do to fix this?
[09:02] <Svenstaro> dread, getting refused, that means you did not forward properly
[09:03] <dread> so now..
[09:03] <Svenstaro> dread, have a look at "port forwarding" on google, we can not help you with that
[09:03] <ManualOverDozer8> erik_ startx
[09:03] <hatter> any kino users here ?  I can control my camera with kino but its not showing any video or recording
[09:03] <dread> port ok but when i start apache2 it says
[09:03] <dread> (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[09:03] <dread> no listening sockets available, shutting down
[09:03] <dread> Unable to open logs
[09:04] <FloodBot1> dread: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:04] <Neogi> erik, do you have a file called default-display-manager in your /etc/X11 folder?
[09:04] <erik_> I'm in gdm now. the issue is only when I bood manualoverdozer
[09:04] <ManualOverDozer8> erik_ : there is another command but i forget it, if someone knows other than StartX
[09:04] <Neogi> that file should have /usr/sbin/gdm in it (if you're using GDM, anyway)
[09:04] <erik_> Neogi I'm not sure I don't really know a whole lot about linux but I'm learning
[09:05] <Neogi> ok, go to a command prompt
[09:05] <ManualOverDozer8> whats the command other than start x to start x ? ironic
[09:05] <Neogi> type "less /etc/X11/default-display-manager" to see what it says in it
[09:05] <ManualOverDozer8> dgm or something
[09:05] <italy> un canale
[09:05] <italy> italiano?
[09:05] <Flannel> !it | italy
[09:06] <erik_> neogi I ran through the file manager and found the file
[09:06] <Neogi> ok, what does it say in it?
[09:06] <erik_> it's says kdm though
[09:06] <Neogi> ok, there's the problem then
[09:06] <erik_> which is odd because I thought I had uninsalled kdm after testing it out
[09:06] <Neogi> change it to /usr/sbin/gdm and reboot your machine
[09:06] <adi_smg> ningsih
[09:07] <Neogi> yeah, even if you changed it, it might not have changed the configs back to the originals
[09:07] <adi_smg> #batang
[09:07] <Neogi> the reason it does that is that if you've created custom configs, it would be a lot of a pain to have them overwrite every time you upgraded anything, wouldn't it?
[09:08] <riccardo> ciao
[09:08] <Neogi> anyway, change that file and reboot and it should be all good
[09:08] <erik_> ok check this out. this is what it has as of right now /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kdm
[09:08] <redrebel_> yo!
[09:09] <riccardo> ITALIANI!?????
[09:09] <erik_> The reason I'm asking is it doesn't match the format you gave me neogi
[09:09] <Flannel> !it | riccardo
[09:09] <erik_> I just want to make sure I'm doing it right lol
[09:09] <redrebel_> which performs better in a low end system, ubuntu studio or just ubuntu desktop?
[09:10] <knightwise> you can use putty
[09:10] <erik_> well here goes thx for the help neogi
[09:10] <knightwise> for x you need cygwin
[09:11] <piju> hello, how to install ipw2100 on laptop ?
[09:12] <redrebel_> which laptop?
[09:12] <Neogi> redrebel, I'd just use desktop and strip it of anything you don't want... also download the kernel-headers and recompile it for your CPU and strip all of the stuff out of it that you don't want... then you'll have a beast of a system
[09:12] <piju> hp compaq nx5000
[09:13] <riccardo> scusate potete indicarmi il canale itaiano'??
[09:13] <Neogi> or download a server copy of linux and add some bits and pieces to suit
[09:13] <Starnestommy> !it | riccardo
[09:14] <erik_> neogi That worked like a charm man
[09:14] <Neogi> very good... see I am good for something occasionally :)
[09:14] <redrebel_>  http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[09:14]  * erik_ bows to Neogi's awesomeness
[09:14] <redrebel_> i always use that site
[09:15] <Neogi> *blushes*
[09:15] <Flannel> redrebel_: Check out xubuntu for a lighter system, or grab an alternate CD, install a GUI-less box, and add to that.
[09:15] <erik_> Now to repartition my drive in case of necessary reinstall.
[09:15] <ManualOverDozer8> Neogi you mentioned of recompiling kernel-headers for cpu. this is onyl install of linux on this machine, should i think of doing that ? or can i just update them ?
[09:16] <erik_> You know I never thought of using a separate partition for my home folder till I read about it 2 days ago.
[09:16] <havocstorm> hey
[09:16] <Neogi> yeah, or even look at something like Gentoo or another source based distro like Slackware... Slackware was always my fave
[09:16] <havocstorm> Anyone here is a programmer?
[09:16] <redrebel_>  i'm a programmer
[09:16] <Flannel> ManualOverDozer8: there's no reason to recompile a kernel
[09:16] <Neogi> yeah, I program in about 10 different languages
[09:16] <Flannel> ManualOverDozer8: or at least, not for speed reasons.
[09:16] <ManualOverDozer8> ok
[09:17] <havocstorm> redrebel_ what kind of language should beginners to coding learn?
[09:17] <redrebel_> c
[09:17] <Neogi> yeah, separate partitions is always a good idea, especially for home directories... having that on a completely separate disk is even better
[09:17] <havocstorm> redrebel_, I have a basic education program on my ubuntu, is a better language to learn programming with
[09:17] <ManualOverDozer8> i dont know if its my input devices or what, but when i type i get an occasional stutter. like its buffering up. i get alot of typos like that
[09:17] <Neogi> Learn C++, not C
[09:18] <Flannel> havocstorm: Check out something like python.  http://diveintopython.org/ or http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
[09:18] <havocstorm> For a beginner?
[09:18] <havocstorm> I hear that's really hard
[09:18] <Neogi> better off learning C with it's superset so you can do OOP programming
[09:18] <Masteredu1> Morning
[09:18] <redrebel_> you can do OOP in c
[09:18] <Debiangeo> hello all
[09:18] <Masteredu1> OOP Programming?
[09:18] <ManualOverDozer8> Neogi : i do OOP .Net
[09:18] <Debiangeo> i have a question
[09:18] <Neogi> nah, C++ is just a superset of C... teaches you the modern approaches instead of procedural
[09:18] <Masteredu1> .net is from microsoft or o.0?
[09:18] <ManualOverDozer8> Object Orientated
[09:18] <havocstorm> does python work on windows?
[09:18] <Flannel> Alright, now that its become a discussion, take the programming language discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[09:18] <Neogi> and, no C isn't very good for OOP at all
[09:19] <Flannel> havocstorm: Yes, see "active python"
[09:19] <havocstorm> flannel, thanks
[09:19] <ManualOverDozer8> Neogi you can have c in projects, but yes, not good for OOP
[09:19] <the_unknown> is there any facility to call(voice) gtalk account in linux(hardy)
[09:19] <the_unknown> ?
[09:20] <Flannel> the_unknown: Jingle is the audio protocol used.  A number of clients support it, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_(protocol)
[09:20] <plik> freeswitch is one (possibly ott) solution :)
[09:20] <Neogi> OOP has nothing to do with whether it can be a project though
[09:21] <Neogi> look up the three rules to OOP and C doesn't strictly conform to it
[09:21] <Neogi> anyway, all I can say on the subject :)
[09:22] <cplx> someone host an australian link for freenode! :)
[09:22] <digsyn> hi

[09:29] <Nyle> I installed firefox32 inside of ubuntu 8.04 amd64, flash/java/mplayer32 everything is working 100%.  The only thing that seems to be wrong is that now firefox32 is rendering everything non-antialiased (font wise), however, every other gtk2 application is anti-aliased.  There doesn't seem to be a ia32-libs-gtk package as ia32-libs replaces it, and conflicts with it.  Has anyone come across this problem?  I have searched the forums and found only 1 post re
[09:29] <c03> Though pidgin is by far the best
[09:29] <|{0oL> well i just got on to test this irc program out....way different from Mirc but same thing..you guys take care see u soon on my on going journey into the worl of Linux hehe

[09:30] <marcello> http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4598
[09:30] <FloodBot1> marcello: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:31] <thomc> marcello, check out emesene
[09:31] <junglecrazd1> i plug in my free agent drive (seagate) and my computer recognizes it. under "computer" an icon pops up. if i try to open it, it says that b/c the drive uses NTFS, that have to "force" mount it. the name of the drive is as follows: FreeAgent Drive.
[09:31] <junglecrazd1> so, i went to a terminal and typed in the following code: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/FreeAgent Drive -o force
[09:31] <junglecrazd1> then, i went back to "computer" and tried to open the drive, then it said " (mntent): line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad
[09:31] <junglecrazd1> mount: can't find /media/FreeAgent in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
[09:31] <FloodBot1> junglecrazd1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:31]  * Neogi falls over dead
[09:32] <junglecrazd1> so, now, I don't know what to do. it was working yesterday!
[09:32] <erik_> marcello you could also try kopete runs pretty quick on my machine supports msn and webcams
[09:32] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1: youre still here...o.0?
[09:32] <junglecrazd1> yes!
[09:32] <Neogi> kopete is nice
[09:33] <Neogi> there used to be one called AMSN as well, not sure if it's still around though
[09:33] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1: dont tell me you got the same problem again?
[09:33] <erik_> my only problem with kopete is it doesn't skin inside my Gnome
[09:33] <junglecrazd1> yeah, i had to leave earlier. sorry, i never resolved it.
[09:33] <magnetron> junglecrazd1, you need to create the /media/FreeAgent folder before you can mount stuff to it
[09:33] <Neogi> Pidgin used to be Gaim from memory I think?
[09:33] <erik_> so when I use it it's colors are all out of whack with the rest of my theme
[09:33] <Neogi> beats me why they change the names of programs that have been around for years...
[09:34] <magentar> Neogi, right
[09:34] <magnetron> Neogi, they were about to be sued by AOL
[09:34] <erik_> Well, that's a good reason
[09:34] <Baby_Shambl3s> Neogi: makes it look kl i guess makes the program sound original and actually new on release
[09:34] <Neogi> ahh, that explains it then
[09:34] <junglecrazd1> Mangnetron, can you tell me how?
[09:35] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1: sudo mkdir /etc/media/"name of folder dor mounting"
[09:35] <c03> Can anyone help me with my microphone?
[09:35] <erik_> Anyone know a good site that explains in noobish terms how to share a windows network printer with a linux box?
[09:35] <Flannel> !printer | erik_
[09:36] <c03> badass
[09:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> hi Flannel nice to see you still here, did you even sleep?
[09:36] <erik_> Flannel, well that summed it up thanks.
[09:36] <Neogi> no, he had us babies to take care of, has to make sure we stay on topic
[09:36] <magnetron> erik_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter is probably what you want
[09:36] <Neogi> "Stay on target, stay on target!"
[09:37] <junglecrazd1> Baby_shambls: mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/media/FreeAgent': No such file or directory
[09:37] <junglecrazd1> mkdir: cannot create directory `Drive': File exists
[09:37] <Neogi> gotta create /etc/media first before you can create a sub-directory of it :)
[09:37] <magnetron> Neogi, me and some ubuntu friends hang out in #ubuntu-offtopic, feel free to join
[09:38] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1: are you using ubuntu?
[09:38] <Baby_Shambl3s> Neogi: if his using ubuntu /etc/media should be there
[09:38] <junglecrazd1> yes, 8.04
[09:38] <junglecrazd1> and the system recognizes the drive.
[09:38] <sudobash> Hey would it be possible to have Ubuntu 8.04 installed to a 8 or 16 GB flash with compiz-fusion configured a certain way that supports virtually any PC to which it would be connected?
[09:38] <junglecrazd1> just won't mount it.
[09:39] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1: youre telling me that command didnt work, are you even admin on that box, were you the one that installed the system
[09:39] <kode> Is it possible to disable a certain update in the update manager?
[09:39] <junglecrazd1> babyshambl: of course i admin
[09:39] <Neogi> mine doesn't have it
[09:39] <Flannel> kode: Which updates are you trying to disable?
[09:39] <magnetron> Baby_Shambl3s, junglecrazd1: don't use /etc/media/FreeAgent , use /media/freeagent
[09:39] <erik_> Well guys I'm out of here thanks for all of the help.
[09:39] <Neogi> mine has /etc/menu-methods and no others :)
[09:39] <magnetron> cheers, erik_
[09:40] <Neogi> I could have a weird Ubuntu though
[09:40] <Baby_Shambl3s> magnetron: ahhhh so it was my fault dang
[09:40] <kode> Flannel, I'm trying to disable some big  updates in size
[09:40] <sudobash> would it be possible to support that many different type of hardware on USB Flash?
[09:41] <sudobash> and ensure that the 3d would work on most Nvidia/Ati/Intel video cards?
[09:41] <Flannel> kode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction%20to%20Holding%20Packages
[09:41] <Flannel> kode: You can do it easily through synaptic, or manually.
[09:41] <facker> how to install .bin?
[09:42] <kode> Flannel, thanks, that should do the trick :)
[09:42] <rkpisanu> facker, chmod +x xxxxx.bin
[09:42] <Smegzo1> I am setting up ubuntu for a friend. They want to be able to talk in Hebrew on msn, but amsn doesn't offer Hebrew.  How can I add it or what other msn client do I need?
[09:42] <rkpisanu> ./xxxxxx.bin
[09:42] <facker> rkpisanu then?
[09:42] <rkpisanu> see up
[09:43] <facker> rkpisanu ok. thats all?
[09:43] <dhananjay> :)
[09:43] <rkpisanu> yes, i mean
[09:43] <dhananjay> hi guys
[09:43] <dhananjay> i wanna install the o
[09:43] <Flannel> dhananjay: the o?
[09:43] <dhananjay> sorry
[09:44] <dhananjay> i wanna install packages manually how i know about the pakcages already installed in comp.
[09:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> Smegzo1: is there such thing as msn in ubuntu, i think you mean pidgin or amsn
[09:44] <Flannel> dhananjay: What are you trying to install?
[09:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> Smegzo1: dont know about amsn but it should be there in synaptics or in option the same goes for pidgin
[09:45] <Smegzo1> I know what I mean.   I'll try synaptic.  Thanks
[09:45] <dhananjay> i hno yaar im talkin about dependencies ive no net conn
[09:45] <Flannel> dhananjay: sneakernet works fine.  But you still haven't told us what you're installing
[09:45] <dhananjay> wine
[09:46] <dhananjay> sneker net whats that?
[09:46] <Neogi> anyone got cedega running on their machina?
[09:46] <Flannel> dhananjay: Where you download the files on a computer that is connected, put them on removalable media (CD, floppy, USB) and walk to the other computer to transfer them
[09:47] <junglecrazd1> magnetron: i chose the other way b/c my system automatically recognizes the drive. i tried to create the freeagent versus FreeAgent Drive, but i can't coz the FreeAgent Drive automatically is recognized by linux. just, won't mount
[09:47] <dhananjay> i did but dependencies
[09:47] <icesword__> lag 2.7s, too bad or too good
[09:47] <dhananjay> they are nt ending
[09:48] <Flannel> !offine | dhananjay
[09:48] <Flannel> !offline | dhananjay
[09:48] <Flannel> dhananjay: Check out that webpage to help satisfy depends
[09:49] <magnetron> junglecrazd1, you need to cut the channel in on your situation. you haven't explained this "automatically recognized" stuff to the channel
[09:49] <sudobash> Hey would it be possible to have Ubuntu 8.04 installed to a 8 or 16 GB flash so that it will work on virtually any PC to which it would be connected?
[09:49] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1: just to get this straight all youre trying to do is install a hard disk right? if so have you tried the tuts in ubuntu forums before coming here, they ahve images and other user comments came in handy for me when i started
[09:49] <simplexio> my numpad wont work right, + works like right click from mouse
[09:49] <junglecrazd1> baby_shambl, correct
[09:50] <chewbaaca> hi
[09:50] <Masteredu1> can someone say me how can i become this screen saver in the background ??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBiYN4NMPdE
[09:50] <xzhb> hi
[09:50] <junglecrazd1> i did read them. my issue is quite different, as I have been using ubuntu for 4 weeks and my drive was fine. now all of a sudden, i can't access it?
[09:50] <chewbaaca> is somebody know about edge network config, especially sony gc85
[09:51] <well> well, shit happens
[09:51] <sudobash> I guess all that would have to be done is create a Live Flash Drive and then set configuration
[09:51] <well> lag +15s
[09:51] <zcat[1]> sudobash, there's an isotousb script somewhere.. all ou need to do is use that to convert the live CD to a live USB install
[09:52] <well> er, em, am i online
[09:52] <evermuse> well, you seem to be
[09:53] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1: but from what youre doing it looks like your mounting a whole new drive, it couldve been that soemthing changed and the UID wasnt being recognised so you had to check those which shows you didnt even bother searching there... that place is the best place to start
[09:53] <dhananjay> that url byethehost isnt working
[09:54] <Baby_Shambl3s> Masteredu1: that looks like his using fluxbox windows manaager jus install it and set it up
[09:54] <ay^> Would I need any swap if I got 2gb of ram and don't really do any heavy photo/video editing?
[09:54] <Flannel> ay^: Do you plan on hibernating?
[09:54] <Baby_Shambl3s> Masteredu1: he/she lied the wallpaper isnt animated to the control thats what fluxbox does
[09:55] <ay^> Flannel: no, I don't think that even works on my laptop
[09:56] <junglecrazd1> baby_shambl3s: i think you are right. there is a message that says: 'logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0)
[09:56] <Flannel> ay^: If you are going to do that, you need as much swap as you have RAM (plus a tiny bit), if not, You technically don't need swap, no.
[09:56] <ay^> but I really should have some? just in case.
[09:56] <Baby_Shambl3s> ay^: you should still have one just incase but like flannel said you wouldnt need it most of the times but is better to make one than be sorry afterwards
[09:56] <Flannel> ay^: It can't hurt.  Only thing that will "hurt" is your harddrive space.
[09:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> junglecrazd1, :/ so you couldve just doens fsck on the disk to sort it out, next time explain your problem properly and how it happened
[09:57] <Flannel> ay^: You really shouldn't need more than 1 G or so.  (If plan on needing more, you'd know it)
[09:57] <chewbaaca> hello, is anybody can tell me that why i using wvdial the message show"ATZ ERROR" using sony GC85
[09:58] <chewbaaca> my old laptop can find the pcmcia card pccard info "sony"
[09:58] <Flannel> ay^: But, you can just keep an eye on how much swap youre using, etc.
[09:58] <ay^> Flannel: Baby_Shambl3s thanks both, I might make some swap space anyways
[09:59] <chewbaaca> hi
[09:59] <Flannel> ay^: If you want to play with it, you can always use a swap file
[09:59] <Flannel> !swap | ay^
[09:59] <chewbaaca> can anybody help me to figure it out what it happend
[09:59] <ay^> just run free and it said free: 72824
[09:59] <ay^> *ran

[10:01] <BulBulRed> hi i bought a 15 inch screen and want to install it into ubuntu... can anyone help me with x ?
[10:02] <therealpxc> is there any way to change the Gnome default behavior of alt+middle=resize window to alt+right=resize?
[10:02] <dackwizard> nothing
[10:02] <junglecrazd1> baby_shambl: i did the disk check and now i got this: UUID=ccf632bd-d122-4ccb-8bad-25e8907123b1
[10:02] <junglecrazd1> could you please help?
[10:03] <CostaRicanQuaker> if my girlfriend gets a period very late...but she gets it, it means i can discard her being pregnant right?
[10:03] <Flannel> CostaRicanQuaker: Please take it elsewhere, thanks.
[10:03] <junglecrazd1> costan rican quaker: que diablos es eso?
[10:03] <Flannel> CostaRicanQuaker: but yes.
[10:03] <therealpxc> the GConf and whatever other GUI config apps Ubuntu comes with only seem to let me change the keyboard shortcut, and as someone who doesn't use Gnome much, it's really frustrating to deal with the setting that's different ALL OTHER window managers
[10:04] <BulBulRed> hi i bought a 15 inch screen and want to install it into ubuntu... can anyone help me with x ?
[10:04] <BulBulRed> this is my xorg.conf

[10:06] <BulBulRed> i started grandr and saw i only had one default screen (logical), because i have only one in xorg... how do you add a new screen to xorg?

[10:09] <Masteredu1> can someone say me how can i become the fire effect when i close a application?
[10:09] <dinar> i can
[10:09] <Svenstaro> dinar, you can add virtual users on top of a pam if you so desire but it only pays out if you do massive virtual hosting
[10:10] <Flannel> Masteredu1: you'll want to install compizconfig-settings-manager, and then you can configure that.
[10:10] <dinar> have you compiz config manager installed?
[10:10] <Masteredu1> i have the settings manager allready , Flannel
[10:10] <Masteredu1> jeah i have
[10:10] <Masteredu1> what now?
[10:10] <Flannel> Masteredu1: open it, and set the close effect to fire/burn/whatever its called
[10:11] <Dans34> Svenstaro , what do i need to do . to get all the users to share the same ftp home ?
[10:11] <Masteredu1> hm ok i will search thanks :P

[10:18] <inflex> but the install went fine :(
[10:18] <Neogi> does it boot into single user mode?
[10:18] <inflex> no, straight after grub it fails
[10:18] <Dans34> what cpu is it ?
[10:19] <Neogi> what type of processor and have you installed Ubuntu on it previously?
[10:19] <inflex> everything from Opterons to Celerons
[10:19] <inflex> and even K6-II's
[10:19] <inflex> this is a VirtualBox within Ubuntu 8.04 (Server) running on PIII's
[10:19] <inflex> so, it's Ubuntu 8.04 server -> VirtualBox [ ubuntu 8.04 ]
[10:20] <inflex> is there a way I can coax it to install a different kernel?
[10:20] <archman> hello everyone, i got a little problem with firefox 2 on gutsy...sometimes when i watch videos firefox blocks and all i can do is force quit...anyone can help? thanks!
[10:20] <Neogi> yeah, you can
[10:20] <archman> *on youtube etc
[10:20] <Flannel> inflex: you'll want to install the -386 kernel (the only other kernel)
[10:20] <Neogi> not sure if it's still got 2.4 but probably the way to go if you can't get it to work with a 2.6 late model one
[10:21] <holic> hello ... brand new to ubunti ... using 8.04 LTS all updates applied ... have added user which is in the admin group ... using the desktop via NX ... why cant i cut and paste files ?
[10:21] <inflex> Flannel: is that on the 8.04 server CD?
[10:21] <inflex> holic: tried center-click?
[10:21] <inflex> holic: eg, selec tthe stuff you want, then go to destination, center-click
[10:21] <why> my printer IP1880 can't printing.... i use ubuntu 8.04
[10:21] <inflex> oh wait, you want to cut-paste files
[10:22] <vox> inflex: it's a virtualbox issue by the looks
[10:22] <inflex> why: what brand is the IP1880?
[10:22] <holic> •inflex• i think its more to do with permission
[10:22] <why> canon
[10:22] <inflex> vox: gnarrrr... you're there
[10:22] <vox> where?
[10:22] <inflex> vox: strnage, since my other OS installs worked fine in this setup :(
[10:22] <inflex> oh well
[10:22] <inflex> vox: here, following me around
[10:22] <holic> •inflex• if i right click the file, cut is greyed out
[10:23] <inflex> oh okay... most of the GUI stuff is beyond me
[10:23]  * inflex hugs the CLI
[10:23] <Neogi> from the boot menu, can you type a ?
[10:23] <vox> inflex: what version of vbox?
[10:23] <Neogi> does that bring up other options?
[10:24] <holic> •inflex• i can do it from the CLI but i have to sudo
[10:24] <Neogi> or look in the menus (F1, F2, etc) to find out the different boot parameters you can pass the boot loader
[10:24] <why> what's CUPS?
[10:24] <inflex> vox: latest... just found the reports on it in google too
[10:24] <vox> nod
[10:25] <Starnestommy> why: it's the Common Unix Printing Service, which is used for printing things
[10:25] <why> my printer IP1880 can't printing.... i use ubuntu 8.04
[10:25] <inflex> oh God... one of these
[10:25] <godmode117> is anybody here using utorrent under wine?
[10:26] <MenZa_> Why would yo?
[10:26] <MenZa_> youØ
[10:26] <MenZa_> ...
[10:26] <MenZa_> you*
[10:26] <freaky_> Hello
[10:26] <freaky_> \o/
[10:26] <inflex> vox: just found that checkbox
[10:27] <inflex> vox: now working.  Very interesting, considering the -install- kernel works.
[10:27] <why> starnestommy : thanks
[10:27] <holic> does nx restrict what i can do ?
[10:27] <kane77> is the memtest86 supposed to work in virtualbox? because I get LOTS of failures :)
[10:28] <inflex> kane77: I imagine it'd be something rather bizzare
[10:29] <inflex> kane77: esp since its probably talking via the I2C bus in some places
[10:29] <Debiangeo> how can i do for than process lunch by imagemagick ( convert command launch by coppermine) must be fixed to 2 process in the same time , to the place of 6 process in same time
[10:29] <Debiangeo> nice command is not possible
[10:29] <freaky_> Hum, my ubuntu starting time is about 1 minutes, how can i reduce it ? (i'm french so excuse me for my langage)
[10:29] <Debiangeo> because i managed by coppermine
[10:29] <holic> ok how can i SU from gnome ?
[10:29] <Flannel> freaky_: install bootchart, take a look at what it says your bottlenecks are
[10:30] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic: su, care to elaborate?
[10:31] <holic> •Baby_Shambl3s• i am very confused as to why something as simple as cut and paste in file browser in gnome would be disabled , unless i go to a terminal windows and SU or SUDO
[10:31] <holic> i would have thought moving files about would have been a basic requirement of the desktop
[10:32] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic: sudo doesnt cut & paste highlight the word and right click on it otherwise use left mouse click also works, there is always ctrl+v/c/x
[10:33] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic: it is it is just explain what youre having problems with in detail
[10:33] <holic> •Baby_Shambl3s• ok i am using NX to connect to my desktop
[10:33] <why> can i install delphi 2007 in wine?
[10:33] <holic> i am clicking on file browser which takes me to my folder in home
[10:33] <holic> there is a file in there called file1.txt
[10:34] <holic> i want to move it
[10:34] <holic> so i right click it
[10:34] <holic> and menu pops up
[10:34] <holic> but cut is greyed out
[10:34] <yacc> How can I force Ubuntu to regenerate xorg.conf after I've manually edit?
[10:34] <holic> it works fine if i go to a terminal window and SU first
[10:34] <holic> i really have to be a superuser to move a file ?
[10:34] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic: im guessing NX is like a virtual machine similar to Vbox, yes or no and you trying to drag soemthing from it to your actual physical machine
[10:35] <holic> nx is like vbox yes
[10:35] <holic> well more like remote desktop for windows
[10:35] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic, it doesnt work that way you must do a netwrork connection through both the host and the machine
[10:35] <Flannel> holic: permissions are a wonderful thing.  alt-f2, type in "gksu nautilus" and you'll get a root nautilus window.  Close that window *as* *soon* *as* you're finished, and be extremely careful.
[10:35] <holic> and i am trying to just move a file on the box itself not move it to my local machine
[10:35] <Flannel> holic: which box?
[10:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic, like in ubuntu i use vbox to run windows but to transfer stuff between each other windows conencts as a network or vpn depending on how you decide
[10:36] <holic> •Baby_Shambl3s• then nx is not like vbox, nx is a remote desktop client not a virtual machine
[10:36] <holic> •Flannel• how do you mean which box ?
[10:37] <Flannel> holic: That depends on your remote permissions.  Local permissions won't have anything to do with that.
[10:37] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic: yeah i just read what you typed before, if youre trying to move stuff from the remote pc or copy it into the actual host than it might be permissions or read only etc
[10:38] <Baby_Shambl3s> Flannel: dang beat me to it still simpler expalanation
[10:39] <holic> so when i remote to the box using nx its using different permissions ?
[10:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> can one use unix windows managers in linux?
[10:40] <Baby_Shambl3s> holic: no it depends on the permission settings on the host machine youre remoting to
[10:40] <Flannel> holic: Its as if you're logged in to that box as if you were sitting in front of it.
[10:40] <jeranga> can anyone help me with run windows under ubuntu
[10:40] <Baby_Shambl3s> CostaRicanQuaker: should think so but not certain like not even 40% certain
[10:41] <holic> •Flannel• yep so if thats the case, why cant i cut and paste ? i'm logged on as a user in the admin group
[10:41] <Baby_Shambl3s> jeranga: you mean windows operating system or windows manager for linux
[10:41] <jeranga> windows operating system
[10:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> windows manager for...unix like and linux?
[10:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> like fvwm
[10:41] <Flannel> holic: Where are you cutting and pasting?  Text?  The problem might be because you're clipboard is local or something.  I've never dealt with NX, so I don't know.
[10:41] <godmode117> is anybody here using utorrent under wine?
[10:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> jeranga: install virtualbox through synaptic or their website or do command in terminal sudo apt-get install VirtualBox
[10:42] <holic> •Flannel• i am in file browser
[10:42] <holic> •Flannel• i want to move a file from one folder to another
[10:42] <dxdemetriou> I changed from /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/ the hal-system-power-suspend-linux and the hal-system-power-hibernate-linux with the way that worked with my laptop. After of updates, these files changed again. Is there a permanent solution to make the hibernate and suspend to work?
[10:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> godmode117: no point we got deluge and the other one that comes with ubuntu just as good or better
[10:42] <godmode117> but utorrent has so many more features
[10:43] <Baby_Shambl3s> godmode117: have you seen deluge, have you tried it, just the same
[10:43] <bicz> deluge-torrent is = to utorrent
[10:43] <jeranga> thanks for reply me Babyshamble3s
[10:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> brb
[10:43] <godmode117> i have and it didn't fell like had the same amount of control
[10:43] <jeranga> i have already installed through qemu
[10:44] <jeranga> now i want to boot it without cd
[10:44] <jeranga> how do i do that ?
[10:44] <abchirk> jeranga normally it installs grub and you can boot from there?
[10:45] <jeranga> abchirk: i'm new to linux
[10:45] <jeranga> i do not know any commands
[10:45] <abchirk> jeranga did you installed ubuntu?
[10:45] <jeranga> yes
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[10:45] <abchirk> So, if you reboot remove the cd from drive.
[10:45] <jeranga> i have installed abchirk
[10:46] <abchirk> and then he should boot from harddisk
[10:46] <jeranga> abchirk: i'm running it from the following command
[10:46] <jeranga> qemu -localtime -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 384 -boot d windows.img
[10:46] <jeranga> i dont know how to change to hard drive
[10:47] <abchirk> jeranga uh qemu, never worked with such things ;)
[10:47] <abchirk> Why you don't install Ubuntu from cddrive?
[10:47] <jeranga> abchirk: it's not what i ask
[10:48] <abchirk> yaya :)
[10:48] <jeranga> i have already installed ubuntu. now i have installed windows under ubuntu
[10:48] <jeranga> with qemu
[10:48] <jeranga> now it runs inside ubuntu just fine. but boots from xp cr
[10:48] <abchirk> oh ok sorry
[10:48] <jeranga> abchirk. i want to change it to boot from hard disk without cd
[10:49] <Baby_Shambl3s> !qemu
[10:49] <eth01> virtualbox is better if you don't know the command line very well
[10:49] <jeranga> thanks ubottu
[10:49] <jeranga> i have already done that
[10:50] <Baby_Shambl3s> jeranga: why dont you just get Vbox in windows and dont have to worry about commands why make life harder for yourself
[10:50] <eth01> Baby_Shambl3s: windows doesn't support every single Linux OS.
[10:51] <eth01> anyway, it's the kernel which is the problem
[10:52] <BoomShaka> hi. does anyone know how to trace a key binding? ctrl+alt+s hides the active window or something, but i want to disable it so I can use it for my firefox plugin... any ideas what uses ctrl+alt+s or how i can trace it?
[10:52] <Baby_Shambl3s> eth01: if he/she install vbox under windows he can run ubuntu ive tried it, also tried running dsl and puppy worked fine their might be soem performance loss but its understandble
[10:53] <jeranga>    	 	 	 	 	 	   Thanks for everyone for reply me. But all of you have not understood what I really need to do. I have already installed ubuntu. And also windows under ubuntu.
[10:53] <jeranga>  When I run this command it works just fine.
[10:53] <jeranga>  qemu -localtime -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 384 -boot d windows.img
[10:53] <jeranga>  but it needs the win xp cd to be loaded to boot up. What I want to do is boot this without the win xp cd in drive. Can anyone pls help ?
[10:53] <FloodBot1> jeranga: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:53] <jeranga> ok sorry

[10:57] <Flannel> ottoshmidt: just delete your ~/.wine
[10:58] <Baby_Shambl3s> jeranga: talk in main channel and if i cna help i will but have never used qemu
[10:58] <ottoshmidt> ok I did, but those are still in Applications Menu
[10:58] <Flannel> ottoshmidt: You'll have to remove those manually
[10:58] <ottoshmidt> Flannel, how?
[10:58] <Baby_Shambl3s> jeranga: thats why i advised you trying to use virtualbox in windows if your just trying to install ubuntu into it than its not a problem
[10:59] <Flannel> ottoshmidt: Open up the menu editor and delete them
[10:59] <ottoshmidt> Flannel, I'll try
[10:59] <ottoshmidt> Flannel, how can I open menu editor
[10:59] <ottoshmidt> ?
[11:01] <Flannel> ottoshmidt: right click "applications" then go and select "edit"
[11:02] <Flannel> ottoshmidt: Or system > preferences > Main Menu
[11:03] <ottoshmidt> Flannel, thank u very much
[11:05] <sharkos> hi folks; this seems a bit stupid, but here goes: the ATI restricted driver fglrx is installed. the manager says it's "in use", but i just tried to run openarena and was informed the version of GL in use is MESA software rendering only, and other GL programs are suddenly jittery enough to make me believe that mesa has somehow usurped the actual GL drivers. help?
[11:06] <clock2304> hi, how do you add this command in fstab: <IP_ADDRESS>:/shares/internal/PUBLIC /media/nfs-mybook/ <-- ?
[11:09] <sharkos> my understanding is that mesa should, effetively, 'pass on' the rendering to the card's hw drivers

[11:49] <champion> I thought i would dual boot vista and linux, only allocation 30gb to linux and 130 to vista, cos its a hog. but now im considering wipeing vista altogether and having 160gb for this baby!
[11:49] <kindofabuzz> that's what i did
[11:49] <zorrolero> Raz0R: wlancard in a laptop?
[11:49] <administrator_> 有中国人么
[11:49] <champion> im sorta worried about this load unload cycle problem though i have heard abit about, and im not sure if solidworks will work under wine.
[11:49] <kindofabuzz> i found a solution to my nfs problem if anyone cares.  add hard and intr to the mount options for the nfs
[11:50] <kindofabuzz> load unload?
[11:50] <Raz0R> zorrolero no this is a desktop pc, using a belkin f5d7000uk card (rtl8185l chipset) im using a windows driver with ndiswrapper
[11:50] <Ging> sudo displayconfig-gtk what is this program ment to do?
[11:50] <champion> i i dont know something to do with the harddrive and it loading and unloading too often and it burns out or something.
[11:50] <kindofabuzz> champion: linux in general or Ubuntu?
[11:51] <champion> kindofabuzz, i think in general, i think its all os i dont really know anything about it haha
[11:51] <bluey> kindofabuzz: i tried that with sudo thing too
[11:51] <kindofabuzz> champion: i'm sure linux is easier on your hd than windows is, unless you are always compiling stuff =)
[11:52] <champion> ok thanks kindofabuzz
[11:52] <champion> so what percentage of ubuntu users are female?
[11:52] <kindofabuzz> bluey: what?
[11:52] <bluey> the "check for updates" in firefox
[11:52] <kindofabuzz> bluey: and what about it?
[11:53] <Flannel> champion: please take non-support questions to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[11:53] <bluey> well u said i cudnt update bcoz i wasnt root
[11:53] <bluey> but i tried starting fx from the console
[11:53] <champion> Flannel, ok sorry.
[11:53] <bluey> using sudo
[11:53] <kindofabuzz> bluey: yeah i know what you're aying but did you get what you wanted?  FF is already the current releasedverion in Ubuntu
[11:54] <champion> champion, test
[11:54] <Raz0R> zorrolero any idea what the problem is?
[11:54] <bullgard4> [GNOME, Metacity] Ich habe some configuration changes using gconf-edit. When do they become effective? Do I have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace?
[11:54] <bluey> its some beta version (i think b5) of fx3
[11:55] <Flannel> bluey: Because you use package management instead.
[11:55] <bullgard4> [GNOME, Metacity] I have made some configuration changes using gconf-edit. When do they become effective? Do I have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace?
[11:55] <kindofabuzz> bluey: huh? no 3.01 is in the repos, unles you're using the vanilla Mozilla version
[11:55] <Baby_Shambl3s> bullgard4: you could try that it should work or restart the system
[11:55] <Flannel> bullgard4: depends on the changes.
[11:55] <bluey> vanilla?
[11:55] <kindofabuzz> bluey: the version from mozilla and not Ubuntu
[11:55] <efu> I want to move /home to another partition. Can I just copy all the files to the partition normally, and then edit fstab, then reboot?
[11:55] <bluey> so how do i update it?
[11:55] <bullgard4> Baby_Shambl3s, Flannel: Thank you for answering.
[11:56] <bluey> i was in gutsy
[11:56] <kindofabuzz> bluey: ohhh
[11:56] <bluey> and i did a system wide update to hardy
[11:56] <kindofabuzz> gutsy not use 3.01?
[11:56] <kindofabuzz> well then you should be at 3.01 then
[11:56] <kindofabuzz> unless you haven't done all the updates
[11:56] <Flannel> efu: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[11:56] <Flannel> bluey: Do you have hardy-updates enabled?
[11:56] <bluey> and it updated it to v3.0b5
[11:57] <bluey> lemme check
[11:57] <kindofabuzz> hmmm
[11:57] <Flannel> bluey: You don't have all the updates then (possibly due to repos issues)
[11:57] <kindofabuzz> run an update again
[11:58] <kindofabuzz> or just a broken system due to dist-upgrade =)
[11:58] <Lopta1> One question is there some cli tool which could  monitor specific folder or set of folders and log to log files all deleted filse and folders with the time of deletion, also I'm searching for the simillar tool but to log created files and folders?
[11:58] <bluey> dont make me cry !! please
[11:58] <kindofabuzz> lol
[11:58] <Flannel> bluey: pastebin your sources.list and we'll take a look
[11:58] <kindofabuzz> i'm preparing now for clean install of intrepid, no gutsy > hardy nightmares again for me! lol
[11:58] <Oumani> bonjour :))
[11:59] <Oumani> hi all
[11:59] <kindofabuzz> hey now
[11:59] <Oumani> first time here for me
[11:59] <bluey> in between slow connection and power outages...... it took me 5 dats to update to hardy
[11:59] <Oumani> and new in linux too
[11:59] <bluey> ok source.list coming up
[11:59] <kindofabuzz> bluey: it would've only taken 20 minutes for clean install =)
[11:59] <Oumani> seaching to go to  #linuxgraphic
[11:59] <spark193> Welcome Oumani
[11:59] <Oumani> ty
[12:00] <Oumani> i am from France
[12:00] <kindofabuzz> i'm not
[12:00] <kindofabuzz> =)
[12:00] <Oumani> how can i do to go to #linuxgraphic irc chanel ?
[12:00] <kindofabuzz> ummm same way you came here?
[12:00] <Oumani> i like 3d sorftwares
[12:01] <spark193>  type "/join #linuxgraphic"
[12:01] <bluey> i didnt want to loose my settings
[12:01] <kindofabuzz> if it's even a channel on freenode
[12:01] <kindofabuzz> bluey: that's why backups of /home are always good
[12:02] <bluey> the home is is on a separate partition
[12:02] <kindofabuzz> bluey: even better
[12:02] <Oumani> ty i am seaching , kiss for now
[12:02] <Ging> woo i think i tricked it into working
[12:02] <bluey> but i was too lazy to go back and install indivisual packages like vlc etc etc after a clean update
[12:02] <kindofabuzz> bluey: you could've done a clean install, mount /home during install without format and you'd still have /home with all new other stuff
[12:03] <kindofabuzz> yeah, you'd still have to reinstall the apps
[12:03] <bluey> problem solved
[12:03] <kindofabuzz> lol repos?
[12:03] <bluey> i enabled hardy reps
[12:04] <bluey> and it says it will update to fx3
[12:04] <kindofabuzz> =)
[12:04] <kindofabuzz> !ubuntuzilla
[12:04] <Ging> although i kinda got uses to the ridiculously high resolution now it looks ugly
[12:04] <bluey> thnak you guys
[12:05] <bluey> or as ppl who know to spell say thank  you
[12:05] <kindofabuzz> yr wlcme
[12:05] <kindofabuzz> =)
[12:05] <bluey> well will b back to bother  u ppl soon
[12:06] <kindofabuzz> is rsync SSH by default?  i see that -ax disables Xforward and SSH
[12:07] <kindofabuzz> does that just help with speed? the -ax?
[12:07] <kindofabuzz> ./crickets
[12:07] <thefonz> is ubuntu better than windows
[12:08] <kindofabuzz> all choice, but in my book, yes
[12:08] <thefonz> what exactly makes its better
[12:08] <kindofabuzz> http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/
[12:09] <thefonz> is it faster
[12:09] <spark193> Thefonz, have you already used ubuntu?
[12:09] <thefonz> no
[12:09] <thefonz> im looking for reasons to convert
[12:09] <champion> DOes anyone know why when running frets on fire my screen flashss black?
[12:10] <spark193> I recommend you to get a friend that uses Ubuntu for installing ubuntu in your PC and then help you when necessary
[12:10] <kindofabuzz> let's see, security, stability, free, no spyware or viruses (for the most part)... free, and free
[12:10] <spark193> I will see the difference....
[12:10] <kindofabuzz> thefonz: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/  read over that
[12:10] <champion> thefonz,  it is definately faster.
[12:11] <thefonz> i heard u can load it entirely on a usb stick. is this a pracitical way to operate an OS
[12:11] <kindofabuzz> bigger learning curve with linux, not harder, just different
[12:12] <spark193> You can keep both systems in your hard drive, B.ut I recommend definitively moving to ubuntu after you get confident on it
[12:12] <unop> sounds like a sermon in here - i'd say let him decide for himself
[12:12] <bazhang> !usb | thefonz read this
[12:13] <bazhang> please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:15] <joomla_user> so what about java applets on 64-bit FF
[12:15] <thefonz> hmmm if used a usb flash drive would this ultimately slow down the OS? after all the hdd IO is much faster
[12:16] <linduxed> is some quick and nice way turn compiz on and off on the fly?
[12:16] <Lopta1> One question is there some cli tool for ubuntu which could  monitor specific folder or set of folders and to log any files or folder which is deleted?
[12:16] <bazhang> thefonz, this is a support channel; for evangelism/potential system use please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:16] <lunch> how to disable sound server/services from starting?
[12:16] <Dominik1> under Preferences -> Appearance
[12:16] <Dominik1> linduxed:
[12:16] <bazhang> linduxed, fusion icon
[12:16] <linduxed> yeah fusion icon would work true
[12:17] <Levodopa> hi, I just started installing ubuntu. But when I press install, nothing happens allthough I hear the discdrive spinning
[12:17] <Levodopa> is this normal?
[12:17] <bazhang> Levodopa, did you md5 the iso and do the disk integrity check; you may also try reburning at a lower speed and if that fails then the alternate cd
[12:18] <DrGamut> http://cgi.ebay.com/Zimbabwe-50-BILLION-Dollar-UNCirculated-Banknote-2008_W0QQitemZ200241947348QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200241947348&_trkparms=72%3A552|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318
[12:18] <bazhang> DrGamut, dont paste that here
[12:18] <kindofabuzz> bazhang: just wondering if you know why they made it to where you can apt-get from the alt cd but not the live?  dub if you ask me
[12:19] <kindofabuzz> dumb*
[12:19] <Levodopa> i burned the iso. The "check disc for integrity" didnt react either.
[12:19] <bazhang> kindofabuzz, the alternate can be used to upgrade as well as install
[12:19] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: you can technically apt-get from the desktop CD, it just only has a handful of packages
[12:19] <bazhang> Levodopa, what about md5
[12:19] <kindofabuzz> bazhang: oh so it's all in the file structure probably?
[12:19] <Levodopa> what is md5?
[12:19] <bazhang> !md5
[12:19] <bazhang> Levodopa, ^^
[12:19] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: the desktop CD is an image (the live image) which gets copied to your harddrive.  The alternate CD actually contains packages.
[12:19] <kindofabuzz> Flannel: k
[12:19] <kindofabuzz> makes sense
[12:20] <kindofabuzz> live is more of an "image"?
[12:20] <descentspb> does anyone know why swap mount so long in Wubi installed Ubuntu?
[12:20] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: Live is an image.
[12:20] <Dominik1> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3000 I posted my problem there, but I think that because the game is so old (and mostly popular in Germany) that I won't get any answers. If anyone has the time and pitty could you check and see if you have any ideas? :D (don't seem to get help in winehq)
[12:20] <bazhang> Levodopa, lets do this in channel please
[12:20] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: And there are a few packages (not included in the image) that people may need to connect to the internet, etc (build-essential as an example)
[12:21] <kindofabuzz> yeah
[12:21] <Dominik1> (my Post is the first one, by David with the missing textures ;) )
[12:21] <tux> hi
[12:21] <sebrock> how do I create a partition on a drive that already has stuff on it. eg a 500GB disk to two 250GB disks? this is ubuntu server = no X11
[12:21] <tux> i've got an uncommon problem..
[12:22] <Flannel> sebrock: to combine the two, you'll want to use LVM
[12:22] <kindofabuzz> !jabber > kindofabuzz
[12:22] <tux> here i am at work but at home i don't have any longer an internet connection (money ..)
[12:22] <tux> but i need to use various packages
[12:22] <champion> How would you make your laptop battery life last longer using ubuntu?
[12:22] <tux> so i was wondering if there is anywhere an 'offline' cd/dvd
[12:22] <Flannel> !offline | tux
[12:23] <crhylove> I have an idea for improving rhythmbox.  Where should I post my idea?
[12:23] <tux> i can't
[12:23] <tux> i dont have linux here
[12:23] <Levodopa> when I downloaded the iso, it didnt come with an md5
[12:23] <crhylove> launchpad?  Forums?
[12:23] <bazhang> crhylove, brainstorm
[12:23] <Flannel> tux: The CD method is called AptOnCD, but it'll only work if you're connected to the internet (much like that synaptic one)
[12:23] <Flannel> tux: see the second part, with the website.
[12:23] <crhylove> where is brainstorm?
[12:23] <bazhang> !brainstorm | crhylove
[12:23] <tux> Flannel, link ?
[12:23] <sebrock> Flannel, I want to divide one disk
[12:23] <crhylove> oooh!  Hurray!  Thanks!
[12:23] <Flannel> tux: read the rest of that line.
[12:23] <sebrock> Flannel, using fdisk will it erase stuff I already have on the disk?
[12:24] <Flannel> sebrock: Oh.  Alright.  parted is a ncurses partition editor
[12:24] <kevsthabest> hey guys, i was wonderering if any of you guys ever seen a folder get converted to a file in ubuntu.. i think my drive got corrupted and now i am trying to figure out exactly how to retrieve my files within this folder/file mess
[12:24] <tux> so basically i will be able to install packages from a cd ?
[12:24] <Dominik1> tux: http://apt.byethost14.com/
[12:24] <Flannel> tux: You'll download and then you can put them on a CD. It won't quite work as a CD repository I don't think, but the packages will all be there.
[12:24] <Levodopa> i downloaded ubuntu from ubuntu.com but it didnt come with an md5 file, so I cant check it.
[12:24] <tux> forget it then, i'm going to download debian
[12:24] <tux> see ya
[12:25] <Dominik1> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3000 I posted my problem there, but I think that because the game is so old (and mostly popular in Germany) that I won't get any answers. If anyone has the time and pitty could you check and see if you have any ideas? :D (my Post is the first one, by David with the missing textures :-( )
[12:25] <kindofabuzz> wait, he has no internet to d/l ubuntu, but he's gonna d/l debian? did i miss something ?lol
[12:26] <sebrock> Flannel, ok but will anything on my first partition be erased when creating the second?=
[12:26] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: debian provides their entire repos on CDs
[12:26] <kindofabuzz> Flannel: yeah all 13 cd's
[12:26] <Levodopa> are intel core 2 duo processors 64 bit?
[12:26] <Flannel> sebrock: You'll have to shrink the first one first.  And then create the new partition in the empty space
[12:26] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM Levodopa
[12:26] <Kuro> heloo.. how much space harddisk to install ubuntu 8.04?
[12:27] <sebrock> Flannel, ok
[12:27] <_dennister> gm channel....having great difficulties configuring this system (for a blind user) so that x doesn't load at boot...would anyone be able to help me with these runlevels and stuff?  wading thru all the documentation hasn't helped...still stumped
[12:27] <kindofabuzz> anyone got a good jabber server guid?
[12:27] <Levodopa> the previous link said that i should have dl a md5 file with the iso
[12:27] <Levodopa> hm
[12:27] <Dominik1> Kuro: Only the System arround 1-2 GB
[12:27] <Flannel> _dennister: why are you trying ot make it so X doesn't load at boot?
[12:27] <carlz> yehaa
[12:28] <bullgard4> I have written a bash script and programmed Metacity to execute it if I press F8. If I press F8 now I cannot see the expected result. How can I find out if pressing F8 calls my bash script?
[12:28] <_dennister> Flannel: because the primary user is blind...literally...work with him at the canadian national instiute for the blind
[12:28] <Kuro> how to make local repository?
[12:28] <_dennister> second user (girlfriend) is sighted
[12:29] <Flannel> _dennister: and the GUI screen readers won't work? (I admit I'm not too familiar with how this all works)
[12:29] <mgrant> bullgard4: change the script to write something (e.g. date) to a file in /tmp
[12:29] <_dennister> Flannel: console is faster, he likes text-based apps like lynx...etc
[12:30] <Flannel> _dennister: and he can't use a tty? (ctrl-alt-f1 through f6? with ctrl-alt-f7 getting back to the GUI)
[12:30] <Flannel> _dennister: I mean, he can't just switch to a tty to log in, with X still running
[12:31] <_dennister> let me try that...i'm sighted, and try to stick with the gui so i don't forget it and can support newbies...
[12:31] <crhylove> gah.  Rhythmbox isn't listed on brainstorm.
[12:31] <crhylove> where should I put my idea.
[12:31] <crhylove> is there a #brainstorm?
[12:31] <bazhang> crhylove, create a new topic
[12:31] <Levodopa> so i have the iso, but it sais i have to input this code: md5sum -c filename.md5
[12:32] <sebrock> Flannel, its a XFS partition, can only find how to increase it, not decrease
[12:32] <Levodopa> but i dont have a .md5 file, but i do have a .md5 hash wich is just a string of letters
[12:32] <_dennister> oh lordy....that was easy
[12:32] <Levodopa> and not a file
[12:33] <Flannel> _dennister: If you still want to change runlevels, you'd have to tweak runlevel2 to be text only (in ubuntu/debian, 2-5 are the same) and then have 3-5 be GUI, boot to 2 by default, change to 3 when you want a GUI.
[12:33] <lunch> how to check to see if sound service is started?
[12:33] <Flannel> _dennister: but, I think gettys solve your problem
[12:33] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes Levodopa
[12:33] <_dennister> and here i was wasting all this time with grub, inittab, runlevels...i've already tried making rl3 text-only, but that didn't work even with all the documentation...nothing did
[12:34] <ogzy> hi all, i was trying to set evolution at our exchange server environment, i couldnt pass the OWA url and password part although i tried the http://servername http://servername.domain.name with the windows login name and password, any idea?
[12:34] <Flannel> _dennister: there's probably something you can change to make it so tty1 (or 2-6) comes up by default, so then you'd be switching to X as the alternate.
[12:34] <carlz> #mamak
[12:35] <_dennister> Flannel: using X as the alternate means you lose the recovery mode as the alternate, so I'd prefer not to do that
[12:36] <Flannel> _dennister: no, no.  I meant so instead of starting on tty7 (gdm) you start on tty1 (a text login)
[12:36] <Levodopa> ok! so my checksums are the same
[12:37] <_dennister> besides, i like the sounds that are activated for the blind user when it's time to login...have been installing screen readers in the gui, but all screen readers and speech synthesizers have their issues, so its hard for them to hkeep up with all the info on the gui
[12:37] <Levodopa> tx for your patience so far
[12:37] <Flannel> _dennister: alright, well, glad we could come up with an easy solution.
[12:38] <_dennister> yes, easy is always the best way to go :-) my blind user is very smart, what with several languages, music writing and C programming, but he's still a linux newbie
[12:39] <Levodopa> now it asks me to choose a language, but i wont let me ise arrows nor enter
[12:39] <Levodopa> is there a way i can 'checksum' the burned disc?
[12:40] <anhdh> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource

[12:49] <Trackilizer> youtube
[12:49] <TemplePrime> how do I change my start button so it looks like this? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=86414&file1=86414-1.jpg&file2=86414-2.jpg&file3=86414-3.jpg&name=eclipse
[12:49] <MrPink-> Trackilizer: I know of an application under windows that does that
[12:50] <MrPink-> Trackilizer: and I believe there is a website of some kind that converts it online
[12:50] <Dans34> try one of the web based stuff that probably does that
[12:50] <Devhochi> i still waitin an answer :3
[12:50] <Oli``> Trackilizer: well you could play it online and record the system's output (using something like JACK, but possibly simpler)
[12:50] <thefonz> does ubuntu support HD video
[12:51] <Trackilizer> Oli``: but would'nt that mean i have to listen to every single video to the end
[12:51] <MrPink-> TemplePrime: My Guess is the answer is in the 3. Screenshot, Ubuntu Tweak 0.3
[12:51] <Oli``> Trackilizer: yes, sorry I didn't know you were batching
[12:51] <Dans34> whats it mean when the caps lock and the scroll lock is flashing ?
[12:52] <RainyLithuanian> hey, what's memtest?
[12:52] <TemplePrime> MrPink, thanks, I have it downloaded :p
[12:52] <Oli``> c03: Evernote have an online version - not sure if it covers exactly what you need but it's one of the highest regarded note-taking apps http://evernote.com/
[12:52] <HappyHater> TemplePrime, you can do it through gconf-editor as well
[12:52] <MrPink-> TemplePrime: Just a guess, I am not sure, I don't know it
[12:52] <Oli``> RainyLithuanian: an app for checking for memory errors by doing memory-intensive tests
[12:52] <c03> Oli``: I can't depend on having internet in class every day =/
[12:53] <TemplePrime> MrPink, cant find an option in ubuntu tweak
[12:53] <TemplePrime> HappyHater, what's the option called in gconf?
[12:53] <Oli``> c03: if your laptop has enough power, you might be able to run the proper version of Evernote under Wine
[12:53] <RainyLithuanian> Oli`` and if it fails, show a lot of red lines and so on?
[12:53] <MrPink-> TemplePrime: then you really will have to "hack" through gconf-editor
[12:53] <RainyLithuanian> and my brand new pc refuses to boot ocasionally?
[12:53] <neXyon> hello! I have a video (mkv) and sound file (ac3), how can I cut them together? (best with ffmpeg or mencoder)
[12:53] <Oli``> RainyLithuanian: yeah - a red line shows a failed test
[12:53] <HappyHater> TemplePrime, it's in apps > panel > object
[12:54] <RainyLithuanian> Oli`` how to fix this?
[12:54] <TemplePrime> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=86414&file1=86414-1.jpg&file2=86414-2.jpg&file3=86414-3.jpg&name=eclipse
[12:54] <Trackilizer> I just found www.mediavonverter.org, it seems to work
[12:54] <RainyLithuanian> actually my pc crashed while running memtest:)))
[12:54] <TemplePrime> HappyHatter, do you know the graphic he uses?
[12:54] <fde> neXyon: any video editor will do that... I'd probably recommend kino as it's supported and in main...
[12:54] <HappyHater> no clue
[12:55] <fde> neXyon: (despite the k, it is indeed a GTK app)
[12:55] <Oli``> RainyLithuanian: it tends to mean the RAM is faulty but it could mean a load of different things. If you know what you're doing and you have spares, I'd start by swapping out the RAM and seeing what happens. If you don't know what you're doing and the PC is new, I'd take it back for replacement or repair under warranty
[12:55] <cojack> hello
[12:55] <cojack> I have problem with my kde
[12:55] <fde> cojack: #kubuntu
[12:55] <cojack> I don't have CC -> A & T -> Splash screen
[12:55] <cojack> oke
[12:55] <Trackilizer> Yes, it works, thanks everyone
[12:55] <Dans34> how do i see the incomming ftp connections to my server ?
[12:56] <_dennister> can someone recommend a good, fairly in-depth grub tutorial? I need to learn some of the more advanced options like Xen, automagic, etc at this point in my development
[12:56] <MrPink-> http://pastebin.com/f582777c1 here are the last lines of the debug output from running the game (Gothic 1) under Wine, anything you notice or can tell why it doesn't load any textures (everything is just white) ?
[12:56] <RainyLithuanian> Oli`` I might do that with my work pc, but not with my own:D I'll better use the warranty
[12:56] <_dennister> even info grub is limited, doesn't seem to touch these topics
[12:56] <neXyon> fde: I'd like to use the terminal :-/
[12:56] <fde> neXyon: ok... then man mencoder or ffmpeg  :/
[12:57] <neXyon> but what's the command? :-)
[12:57] <Oli``> RainyLithuanian: Oh and if they try and blame it on Linux or Memtest, they're wrong. Slap them until they admit they don't know what they're talking about =)
[12:58] <eax> Hi :) Can anyone tell me how to mount a SSD card in Ubuntu Feisty? I have an Acer TravelMate 4310 running Feisty (7.04)
[12:59] <Freakshow> Hey.
[12:59] <zorrolero> Dans34: in your ftpserver-log or via "lsof -i".
[12:59] <Freakshow> You guys know anything about Wine?
[12:59] <Oli``> eax: SSD card? like a memory card?
[12:59] <DRebellion> Freakshow, just ask your question
[12:59] <eax> Oli``: Yes
[12:59] <Oli``> Freakshow: #winehq are better qualified, but you might have luck here
[13:00] <Oli``> eax: it *should* auto-mount as soon as you've plugged it in (assuming Ubuntu recognises your card reader)
[13:00] <Freakshow> I have some issues about Steam, I can't see my own text in friends.
[13:00] <Dans34> thanks zorrolero
[13:00] <lusepuster> Hi folks - my sister has a USB memory stick that always mounts as a read-only file system. Does it need reformatting, or is there any other way to fix it? She doesn't want to mount fomr command line every time.
[13:00] <c03> Freakshow: install all fonts
[13:00] <eax> Oli``: Yeah, that's the problem (I think) but couldn't it be something with the fact that I use Feisty?
[13:00] <c03> and cross your fingers
[13:00] <Freakshow> eax: You should upgrade.
[13:01] <seekingtruth> hello sinners
[13:01] <Freakshow> eax: while i'm not completly sure if it helps, it's a good idea overall.
[13:01] <eax> FreakShow: Yeah I would. If my internet worked after I updated. Which it doesn't due to a kernel error :/
[13:01] <unop> !ot | seekingtruth
[13:01] <Oli``> eax: It might be - I couldn't list the hardware support differences but as Freakshow says, it's worth upgrading (unless Hardy doesn't work for you)
[13:01] <eax> Freakshow: (wired net that is)
[13:01] <seekingtruth> !ban unop
[13:01] <unop> lusepuster, what king of filesystem on the drive?
[13:02] <unop> seekingtruth, do you have a question?
[13:02] <bazhang_> seekingtruth, not here please
[13:02] <eax> Oli``: I doesn't work completely (no wired internet :/) due to a kernel error :S
[13:02] <seekingtruth> unop: yes I do
[13:02] <Freakshow> c03: All other text works fine, And it appears after like 20 minutes.
[13:02] <lusepuster> unop, I don't remember, I'll try and check
[13:02] <unop> seekingtruth, if it's ubuntu related - ask the room, otherwise take it elsewhere
[13:02] <seekingtruth> unop: how can I get my external speakers to work in hardy?
[13:02] <Oli``> eax: yeah that's annoying... Gutsy any use?
[13:03] <seekingtruth> unop: are you admin or op here?
[13:03] <eax> Oli``: Nope :/
[13:03] <scapor> Does someone know here if it's possible to select all footnotes in a OOo document ?
[13:03] <Freakshow> unop: Just ignore him.
[13:03] <Oli``> eax: have you reported the driver bug to launchpad so somebody can fix it?
[13:03] <seekingtruth> scapor: no
[13:03] <lusepuster> unop, Uh, and how do I check...?
[13:03] <Oli``> eax: I know none of this helps you now - but yeah...
[13:03] <seekingtruth> Freakshow: did you get the kernel hack fixed?
[13:03] <unop> lusepuster,  sudo fdisk -l    and perhaps also  mount
[13:04] <Freakshow> seekingtruth: Bad troll.
[13:04] <bazhang_> seekingtruth, please stop
[13:04] <eax> Oli``: I found the bug in there. So it is reported :) But thanks :)
[13:04] <lusepuster> unop, thanks...
[13:04] <seekingtruth> bazhang ok
[13:04] <seekingtruth> does anyone pls know why my external speakers dont work?
[13:05] <Freakshow> seekingtruth: Make sure you have updated your sound drivers recently.
[13:05] <eax> seekingtruth: Do you have a headset that works or is it sound completely?
[13:05] <lusepuster> unop, fat16 is the FS on the stick
[13:05] <seekingtruth> my laptop speakers are on, but i want external speakers. they worked in previous version Ubuntu
[13:05] <Oli``> eax: well... as far as your current issue goes... oh! have you used the card in that reader before?
[13:05] <seekingtruth> Freakshow: how I tell Hardy to do that?
[13:05] <eax> Oli``: Nope I haven't :S
[13:05] <Freakshow> seekingtruth: Just try and search for updates.
[13:06] <seekingtruth> eax: external speakers work in previous Ubuntu before hardy.
[13:06] <Oli``> eax: it's not a SD-HC card is it?
[13:06] <fantomas> Hi, I have problem with MOC player - I can't change sound volume - < > , . simply don't work. Any ideas?
[13:06] <seekingtruth> Freakshow: its updated already
[13:06] <eax> seekingtruth: Could be your sounddrivers. Does other sound work?
[13:06] <eax> Oli``: Nope it's a SSD card
[13:07] <seekingtruth> eax: all sound works through my laptop speakers.  but not going through my external speakers.  ubuntu worked before I installed hardy
[13:07] <platyh> Hi, i would like ubuntu load a swap partition automatically during boot .
[13:07] <cypherdelic> Can somebody tell me which is the best DVB-T PCI Card that is supported by ubuntu/linux/v4l? (maybe with HDTV)
[13:07] <eax> seekingtruth: Ohh okay then it's not your soundcard driver.. Can't help then sorry :/
[13:08] <Freakshow> seekingtruth: Do the speakers work on other computers?
[13:08] <Oli``> eax: Can I have the make/model and your computer make/model
[13:08] <unop> lusepuster, ok, you'll need to add an entry for /etc/fstab for it that overrides how it is currently mounted.   what does this give you?  sudo blk_id /dev/sdXX  # where /dev/sdXX is your device
[13:09] <eax> Oli``: What do you mean by make? It's an Acer TravelMate 4310
[13:09] <Orph> make = Brand
[13:09] <Orph> Make = Ford, Model = Mustang
[13:10] <Oli``> eax: and of the card?
[13:10] <lusepuster> unop, just automounted, blkid gives me the output /dev/sdb1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="KINGSTON" UUID="591B-1189" TYPE="vfat"
[13:10] <eax> Oli`: SD Memory Card SDC-32
[13:12] <Oli``> eax: is it 32gigs?
[13:12] <unop> lusepuster, ok, open up /etc/fstab with  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab   and place this line at the very bottom.    UUID="591B-1189"  /media/KINGSTON vfat  defaults,user 0 2
[13:12] <eax> Oli``: Nope megs :P
[13:13] <lusepuster> unop, that would  only solve the problem for that specific machine, right?
[13:13] <gianluca> ho guys anybody know how to run jiwire for ubuntu skype for find hotspot? or can tell me a good hotspot finder for ubuntu
[13:13] <giraldi> #ubuntu-it
[13:13] <unop> lusepuster, yes
[13:13] <Dans34> im using vsftpd people can upload to my server but not downlaod .. what gives ?
[13:14] <error404notfound> Hi! I am connected to a DSL modem which is inturn connected to internet. I have a Static/Live IP on that Modem, how do I NAT that Ip to my system?
[13:15] <magnetron> error404notfound, if you are just one PC on the network, you don't need to NAT at all
[13:15] <error404notfound> magnetron: but I want to let people see the sites hosted on my system, when I type that ip in browser, I get the modem page
[13:15] <skywalkerdk> Hi - I've set up a basic Ubuntu Server with Apache2 and VSFTPD. I've made different domains for each user i have. The webfolders are "mount --bind" to a folder in the users' home folder (ie. /home/user/webdirectory). Everything works fine, except when i upload i get a "403 Forbidden" on the files i upload in the 'webdirectory'. - Any ideas on this?
[13:15] <skywalkerdk> If i do chown 777 on the folder it works again until next time i upload a file.
[13:16] <lusepuster> unop, the problem is... I once mounted it on my laptop, and since then, it has been unwritable on *any* ,achine, M$ Windows or Ubuntu regardless. Could there be something I should change on the disk itself instead?
[13:16] <The-Compiler> Can I simulate an app to run under Gnome? Because I'm under KDE and Teeworlds strangely only runs under Gnome
[13:16] <Oli``> eax: check out this thread: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2535
[13:16] <magnetron> error404notfound, ah, that means that the modem is NATing. ok, then you need to enable "port forwarding" in your cable modem
[13:16] <lusepuster> The-Compiler, there should be no problem running Gnome apps under KDE...?
[13:16] <eax> Oli``: Great thanks a lot :D
[13:16] <Oli``> eax: it's not an "easy" fix. Compiling drivers and horrible jazz like that... but it might work. It worked for other people using your laptop
[13:16] <arvind_khadri> The-Compiler, a gnome app can run under kde
[13:16] <unop> lusepuster, hmm, even if you mount it as root?
[13:17] <error404notfound> magnetron: I guess that's not an issue to be discussed in #ubuntu?
[13:17] <mildner> everytime I boot the second Harddisk has a different label once it apears with sda1 next time with sb1 how can I fix it
[13:17] <elmajestro> slt
[13:17] <magnetron> error404notfound, not really. but here's a good link for you: http://portforward.com/routers.htm
[13:17] <unop> lusepuster, some thumb drives have a write-protect lock along the side of the drive? does yours have one?
[13:17] <The-Compiler> lusepuster, arvind_khadri: yeah I know, but if I run Teewars under KDE the menu is w/o captions and I get a strange mousepointer which looks like a windows logo. If I run the same under Gnome it runs fine
[13:18] <eax> Oli``: I'm used to compiling so it's play :P Great thanks a lot mate ^^
[13:18] <error404notfound> magnetron: thanks... so keeping the channel rules, I would be leaving now....
[13:18] <magnetron> error404notfound, you don't have to
[13:18] <arvind_khadri> The-Compiler, try disabling compiz if you use it and then run teewards
[13:18] <magnetron> error404notfound, but this is about as much support you can get without calling your cable company
[13:18] <The-Compiler> arvind_khadri: I don't
[13:19] <error404notfound> magnetron: hmmm, okay, I will see what I can do... thanks...
[13:19] <arvind_khadri> The-Compiler, then the only way i feel is to run gnome and use teewards
[13:19] <error404notfound> magnetron: can I pm you?
[13:19] <The-Compiler> arvind_khadri: yeah, but that's annoying imho :P
[13:20] <The-Compiler> arvind_khadri: anyways, thanks ;)
[13:20] <arvind_khadri> The-Compiler, i know :) but nothing much can be done...welcome :)
[13:20] <magnetron> error404notfound, please keep the questions in the channel. it's ok to ask some questions about modems and port forwarding in here
[13:20] <yugo> Hi,guys,in my vmware ubuntu 8.04 ,mouse focus is splashing always?what is it? Is it related with vmware tools?Or it related with my /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[13:20] <lusepuster> unop, nope, no button. And it worked fine before mounting it on my machine. Very odd.
[13:20] <The-Compiler> arvind_khadri: just found out that it works if I don't run it fullscreen ;)
[13:21] <arvind_khadri> The-Compiler, cool
[13:21] <HappyHater> yugo, what do you mean by splashing?
[13:21] <error404notfound> magnetron: I have a DSL605EU, the closest one is DSL605EW, I have selected that, which application's port do I need to forward
[13:21] <magnetron> error404notfound, which application do you want to expose to the internet? a web server?
[13:21] <unop> lusepuster, yea. strange. ok, can you try this.  umount the device. and mount it with this command.  sudo umount /dev/sdXX; pmount-hal /dev/sdXX  # does that change anything?
[13:22] <error404notfound> magnetron: a web server, an ssh server, and couple of others... its like I want my system to jump to the wire actually ignoring the intermediate modem
[13:22] <haggis> Hello! I've got a problem. I just changed my language to en_DK.UTF-8 and rest of the locale settings to sv_SE.UTF-8. Now I get "junk characters" in the man pages. What to do?
[13:23] <sunwear> format
[13:23] <bazhang_> sunwear, format what
[13:23]  * Abed breaks out the slapping rod and looks sternly at Abed
[13:23] <magnetron> error404notfound, web servers run at port 80, ssh at port 22. for a complete list, see the file /etc/services . whether you can expose all your ports or not (usually referred to as "DMZ") depends on which modem you use.

[13:23] <lusepuster> unop, hang on, I'll try!
[13:24] <yugo> HappyHater, twinkling
[13:25] <unop> skywalkerdk, did you know that an apache module i.e. mod_userdir already provides this functionality?  you should use it instead.
[13:25] <skywalkerdk> unop - i had no idea, i'll google it.
[13:26] <rD_> Hi
[13:26] <rD_> Whats the command that decrease CPU Speed?
[13:26] <unop> skywalkerdk, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html
[13:26] <lusepuster> unop, first thing, mounting as root didn't work... Trying the other thing.
[13:27] <skywalkerdk> unop - cheers. :)
[13:27] <faltoo> hello everybody. i want to compile the r8168 driver for my realtek ethernet card. the compile works when i try make modules, but failes if i do 'sudo make modules'
[13:27] <faltoo> is this a bad thing?
[13:27] <unop> lusepuster, how didn't it work?
[13:27] <rD_> Anyone know whats the command that lower my cpu speed? (I am having Core 2 Duo) which supports that
[13:28] <unop> lusepuster, perhaps the clue to the problem lies in what fails here
[13:28] <lusepuster> unop, pmount-hal doens' need a mount point specified?
[13:28] <lusepuster> unop, mounting as root, it was still a read-only file system.
[13:28] <_empemp_> hi, my ubuntu installations have poor video performance compared to my xp installation. have a 82855 intel card.    direct rendering is working too.    Any magic trick that can better my performance?
[13:28] <lusepuster> like with an ordinar sudo mount /[device] /[mountpoint]
[13:29] <legend2440> rD_: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/
[13:29] <unop> lusepuster, no, pmount-hal automatically assigns a mount point based on the device label .. so if the label is KINGSTON, it will mount it at /media/KINGSTON - you can always use the mount command to find out where it has mounted it
[13:29] <rD_> emp , try the latest intel driver 2.4 (if i am not wrong) and 2.2.2 is on ubuntu
[13:29] <s0|> honestly does anyone know how to get an adaptec1430SA to be seen properly by ubuntu8.04 install so that 8.04 maybe installed to the volume that has been created in the adaptec HostRaid mcBios?
[13:29] <_empemp_> rD_: where do i find them?
[13:29] <Orph> Im thinking about putting ubuntu on a computer for my mom to  use.
[13:29] <Orph> She doesn't really have any computer experience.
[13:29] <rD_> from here , http://intellinuxgraphics.org/
[13:30] <rD_> legend2440 : i am afraid this one is too old for me (2005) i remeber that linux kernel have updated its speed step or some thing so i am afirad it wont work , any other ways?
[13:30] <_empemp_> i think i use the 810i driver now.   not recommended?
[13:30] <unop> emefarr, i think the intel driver is favoured now
[13:30] <rD_> well , according to your card it is but  check if intel driver supporting it
[13:31] <wols_> empire: i810 is the intel driver
[13:31] <rD_> last time i heard , Intel latest driver 'intel' got some improvement in speed
[13:32] <_empemp_> hmm
[13:32] <_empemp_> need to compile the driver myself?
[13:32] <lusepuster> unop, when I cd (as an ordinary user) to /dev/KINGSTON after having run pmount-hal, I get permission denied
[13:32] <unop> wols_, not _the_ intel driver .. there is a xserver-xorg-video-i810 and xserver-xorg-video-intel .. and the later kind of obsoletes the former
[13:32] <rD_> yes , and to tell you the truth intel sux in doucmenting stuff ;)
[13:33] <unop> lusepuster, /dev/KINGSTON ?? do you mean /media/KINGSTON ?
[13:33] <daedra> is it possible to repair a 99% complete rar file?
[13:33] <_empemp_> i guess i will have to read then :)
[13:33] <lusepuster> unop, , yep sorry :-)
[13:33] <bazhang> daedra, highly unlikely
[13:33] <daedra> garr
[13:33] <awharrier> hi all, i installed ubuntu 8.04 on my new work laptop yesterday and after adding some restricted drivers got my broadcom wireless adapter to work, last thing i did before finishing for the night was to run an apt-get update now i have no wlan0 interface, what has gone wrong?
[13:33] <daedra> PAR has repairing features
[13:33] <_empemp_> or maybe i can find a precompiled one
[13:34] <rD_> lol , emp i dont like to dispoints you its over then 30 times i tried making it work and i failed
[13:34] <Orph> is it not possible to re-download the file?
[13:34] <daedra> (the usenet download format)
[13:34] <Levodopa> bazhang; the checksum was ok, but i burned it at a slower speed and im installing as we speek. Thanks a lot!
[13:34] <tabakhase> Hi, is there a way to fill my pastebin from a script?
[13:34] <unop> lusepuster, hmm, can you list contents like this?   sudo ls -l /media/KINGSTON ?
[13:34] <lusepuster> unop, cd'ing to it as root, I can get there, but when I try going into a dir, it says "couldn't acces [dir], input/output error"
[13:34] <_empemp_> rD_: what u suggest?
[13:34] <daedra> Orph yeah but its really big :(
[13:34] <rD_> there is one compiled for debian (not seems to work fine on Ubuntu) and also its not the latest one
[13:34] <Orph> can you download the 1% ?
[13:34] <Orph> that is the easiest part
[13:34] <bazhang> Levodopa, nice work :)
[13:34] <Orph> use a program that supports resuming
[13:35] <Orph> which on linux shouldn't be a problem.
[13:35] <daedra> Orph like what
[13:35] <lusepuster> unop, ls -l'ing ives me "d????????? ? ? ? ?                ? [dir]
[13:35] <NewBe> Hello
[13:35] <Orph> wget for one
[13:35] <Orph> Im sure.
[13:35] <Reenen> lo... I have a problem with my USB stick.  I cp'ed stuff to it, and then umounted it.  It said it was busy, but didn't complete for about 5m, then I plugged it out... now there is funnies on the drive that I cannot delete... how can I remove these files from the disk?
[13:36] <rD_> _empemp_ : Before you start bothring your self with latest driver did you try to use "intel" as driver in your xorg.conf (this will  save you alots of time if it work)
[13:36] <daedra> Orph: how do you pause it/resume it?
[13:36] <Orph> just download it, and point to the current location of the file
[13:36] <Orph> it should auto resume.
[13:36] <Orph> Make a copy incase it doesnt
[13:36] <_empemp_> rD_: i tried to type in intel isnted of 810i, just got a black screen and couldn't log in
[13:36] <chase> I am having trouble getting the driver for my printer
[13:36] <Orph> am I right in thinking Wget will do this guys?
[13:36] <Brandano> howdy! I am going to replace an ATI card with an Nvidia one. Anyone has a list of do's and dont's?
[13:36] <daedra> Orph: also, please prefix messages with NAME:
[13:36] <Orph> Im not a fulltime linux user.. heh
[13:36] <bazhang> Reenen, did you right click remove safely or just yank it out
[13:37] <chase> it is a HP psc 2410 photosmart
[13:37] <Reenen> bazhang: I did right click, and say "unmount"
[13:37] <rD_> acording to intel driver "This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of chipsets, including i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945"
[13:37] <Orph> daedra: Sorry
[13:37] <rD_> i really dont see why it shouldnt work
[13:37] <bazhang> Reenen, and you waited until it was unmounted?
[13:37] <_empemp_> it should work yes
[13:37] <Reenen> bazhang: but then it said it can't yet, and it showed that message for long (way longer than it should take to copy the files), so then I "yanked it out" as you say
[13:38] <rD_> anyway its 4:38 PM here , i have to meet one of my friends so i gota go
[13:38] <rD_> so cya and good luck
[13:38] <usr13> If I change display adapter and do not get proper resolution, how do I reconfigure X ?
[13:38] <chase> I downloaded HP's self extracting archive but when I run it (sh hplip-2.8.7.run) it says that it cant open it
[13:38] <_empemp_> thx
[13:38] <usr13> dpkg-reconfigure X  ?
[13:39] <Reenen> bazhang: but before I yanked it out, I tried to access it via terminal, and via the "explorer", but in neither could I see the USB stick... so I assumed it was unmounted already
[13:39] <chase> btw I am running with Hardy
[13:39] <NewBe> Question  In add and remove under all available applications if u keep the cursor on it the text box will read ones that may be restricted by law   what's up with that
[13:39] <usr13> anyone ?
[13:39] <lusepuster> NewBe, what's the problem?
[13:39] <erUSUL> usr13: gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[13:39] <bazhang> chase what have you tried? the hplip should have support for that
[13:40] <chase> I cant open it though
[13:40] <soepgladiool> hi
[13:40] <usr13> erUSUL, Can I do that with X still running?
[13:40] <chase> I have tryed only having linux do it for me and hplip
[13:40] <erUSUL> usr13: yep
[13:40] <soepgladiool> how can i switch to a lost window ? , it is running but not on the taskbar and desktop :(
[13:40] <NewBe> lusepuster    applications restricted by law
[13:40] <bazhang> Reenen, seems some files were corrupted then; are they re-downloadable?
[13:40] <usr13> erUSUL, tnx
[13:41] <Reenen> yes... no data is lost
[13:41] <lusepuster> NewBe, yep, some countries (the US included) restrict some apps by law, mostly some patented aurio/video codecs. The users should be aware of that, don't you think?
[13:41] <Reenen> bazhang:  it is just that there is "garbage" files on the drive that I want to delete
[13:41] <legend2440> chase: check the permissions on  hplip-2.8.7.run   make sure it is executeable
[13:41] <soepgladiool> looks like gnome-panel lost a process to list, anyone how to manual switch,focus to a window?
[13:42] <NewBe> lusepuster    how can u tell witch ones r
[13:42] <bazhang> Reenen, do you have permission issues with them? are they locked for instance?
[13:42] <Miesco> alsa is messed up
[13:42] <lusepuster> NewBe, it's up to each user to know what the law in their respective countries says
[13:42] <Miesco> (failed: modules still loaded: snd-hda-intel snd-pcm snd-page-alloc snd-hwdep snd-timer)
[13:42] <Reenen> bazhang: yes, it claims to be read-only, and some IO stuff too
[13:42] <bazhang> newbe not really an issue for end-users though
[13:43] <chase> legend2440: I made it executable but It still wont work
[13:43] <Reenen> bazhang: rm: cannot remove `%│6üj5æ¼.ÆB\\': Input/output error
[13:43] <Reenen> rm: cannot remove `8]D\026ùφÖ┌.ê"\036': Read-only file system
[13:43] <ErikWestrup> What programs etc. do I need to get the sound to work? The sound card seems to be found by system when I type lspci.
[13:43] <NewBe> bazhang   so i need not be worried
[13:43] <legend2440> chase: try ./hplip-2.8.7.run    aperiod before the/
[13:43] <bazhang> Reenen, what about with sudo
[13:44] <chase> no such file
[13:44] <bazhang> NewBe, more related to Ubuntu liability; you need not worry
[13:44] <chase> I am on my desktop
[13:44] <Reenen> bazhang: nope sudo still doesn't delete it
[13:44] <dans34_2> how do i delete folders that are owned by another user ?
[13:44] <legend2440> chase: you have to cd to the folder where the file is
[13:44] <squirrel333AU> I'm new to Ubuntu and loving it but today I upgraded my router firmware because of a security risk and now I can not connect to all websites, keeps on timing out, in Windows, all the sites load with no problem, I have been searching online for the last 4 hours but can't find a solution, any ideas anyone
[13:44] <dans34_2> lost wifi connection grrr
[13:44] <Flynsarmy> What does cat -v do? i read the man page but i dont see it doing anything when i actually use it
[13:44] <chase> I am there
[13:44] <NewBe> bazhang   ok thanks
[13:44] <chase> It is saved on my desktop
[13:44] <unop> lusepuster, sorry, had to attend to the phone - sounds like your device needs fsck-ing .. have a look at the output of dmesg to see if anything's reported about this device.
[13:45] <Baby_Shambl3s> dans34_2: you cnat delete those unless ur admin also know as a sudoer
[13:45] <bazhang> np
[13:45] <dans34_2> yes i can use sudo . but whats the command after that ?
[13:45] <legend2440> chase: type ls -al in terminal is   hplip-2.8.7.run  listed
[13:45] <unop> Flynsarmy, it shows non-printable control characters
[13:45] <crashbit> dans34_2: sudo rm -r folder if the folder isn't empty
[13:46] <dans34_2> thanks
[13:46] <crashbit> or sudo rmdir folder if the folder are empty
[13:46] <unop> Flynsarmy, like this here.  perl -le 'print chr(rand(32)) for 0..10' | cat -v
[13:46] <chase> no
[13:47] <legend2440> chase: cd /home/yourusername/Desktop     then sh hplip-2.8.7.run
[13:48] <lusepuster> unop,  no problem :)
[13:48] <chase> Thank you, that worked, I dont know why but it did
[13:48] <chase> I was on my desktop before
[13:49] <unop> lusepuster, well, you could try reformatting the disk - it might sort the problem out, could just be a shaky filesystem
[13:50] <lusepuster> unop, dmesg gives me "[46519.340347] FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sdb1) [46519.340356]     fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0) [46519.340360]     File system has been set read-only"
[13:50] <dans34_2> crashbit , thanks worked perfectly
[13:50] <chase> Do you have to type 'emerald --replace & disown' everytime you relog?
[13:50] <lusepuster> unop, that kinda indicates a reformat is needed, right?
[13:51] <NewBe> If I move the monitor cable from the mother board to a video card will the cpu run slower
[13:51] <bazhang> chase put command in sessions
[13:51] <unop> lusepuster, you could reformat - but fsck might be able to sort the filesystem out - do the latter if there is stuff on the disk that you need to retrieve
[13:51] <bazhang> NewBe, unlikely
[13:52] <lusepuster> unop, only one replacable dir.
[13:52] <NewBe> bazhang   ok thanks
[13:52] <unop> lusepuster, then a reformat is easier
[13:52] <chase> Would I do that in System > preferences > Sessions?
[13:52] <bazhang> chase yes
[13:52] <chase> where is the terminal located?
[13:53] <dans34_2> Applactions > Acessories > terminal
[13:53] <lusepuster> unop, what's the easiest way to do that? Any graphical tools? (mostly because I'd like my non-command line savvy sister to be able to do it another time, just in case)
[13:53] <bazhang> alt f2 gnome-terminal chase
[13:54] <chase> Where is it located in the filesystem?
[13:54] <chase> I know how to get to it, but I have to put a path to it.
[13:54] <lusepuster> chase, the gnome terminal?
[13:54] <bazhang> chase which gnome-terminal in terminal
[13:54] <unop> lusepuster, hmm, gparted maybe? not sure - i don't use gnome
[13:55] <lusepuster> unop, gparted only sees the nhard drive. Any KDE/Other tool?
[13:55] <bazhang> chase, which appname in terminal generally speaking
[13:55] <unop> skywalkerdk, sure, but let's keep it in the channel
[13:55] <lusepuster> unop, I'm not a DE fundamentalist ;-)
[13:55] <chase> bazhang if that is a question i dont know
[13:55] <bazhang> chase the command is which
[13:55] <dans34_2> what is the default  window manager  installed with ubuntu
[13:55] <chase> emerald --replace & disown?
[13:56] <bazhang> gnome dans34_2
[13:56] <unop> lusepuster, i don't use KDE either :)  -i 'm pretty sure gparted could do it, just delete the existing partition, create a new one, etc
[13:56] <dans34_2> thanks
[13:56] <Rayme> Who use isa
[13:56] <bazhang> chase, you want the path to terminal right?
[13:56] <chase> yes
[13:56] <lusepuster> dans34_2, metacity
[13:56] <bazhang> chase for the path to most apps use the command which followed by the appname (do this in the terminal)
[13:56] <Rayme> Who use irc as a mobile phone?
[13:57] <unop> lusepuster, yea - as shown here.  http://images.howtoforge.com/images/installation_guide_fedora8_desktop/big/gparted.jpg
[13:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> Rayme: is that even possible to use irc as a mobile phone?
[13:58] <wols_> Baby_Shambl3s: no
[13:58] <Rayme> Can anyone here me?
[13:58] <lusepuster> unop, yeah but gparted only seems to see my hard drive... Not gnome or KDE, then what? And do you know of a graphic or command line tool you usually use?
[13:58] <bazhang> Rayme, perhaps you mean on a mobile phone
[13:58] <wols_> using IRC as IM is doable: bitlbee. but not as a phone
[13:58] <Baby_Shambl3s> wols_: i wanted him to answer it, its much more enjoyable
[13:58] <wols_> bazhang: if he does it's OT
[13:58] <Baby_Shambl3s> Rayme: yes we can now what is your problem
[13:58] <chase> bazhang I dont understand what you mean
[13:59] <unop> lusepuster, no, i use the command line fdisk/cfdisk
[13:59] <Rayme> Yes, im using in a mobile phone
[13:59] <wols_> !ot | Rayme
[13:59] <bazhang> chase type the following command -------> which gnome-terminal <------------
[13:59] <unop> lusepuster, if gparted doesn't see the drive/device, it might need to be run under gksudo
[13:59] <bazhang> Rayme, that is offtopic here unless you have a support question related to it
[13:59] <lusepuster> unop, I found it with gparted, sorry. Was too fast there.
[14:00] <chase> bahzang ok i got i
[14:00] <chase> it*
[14:00] <Reenen> bazhang: can I just try fsck or similar stuff?
[14:00] <bazhang> Reenen, you can try but if it is corrupted then likelihood of success is small
[14:01] <chase> bazhang: brb checking if it works
[14:01] <Reenen> bazhang: any other tools that might help?
[14:01] <unop> lusepuster, running gparted as non-root says this "Root privileges are needed to run gparted - since gparted is a weapon of mass destruction, only root may use it" - kinda explains it all, be careful with it :)
[14:02] <bazhang> Reenen, you want to remove only those files or format disk
[14:02] <kudak> guys, i have a 250GB SATA HD i cant get ubuntu to mount, on /etc/fstab it shows up as hdb1 and on fdisk -l it shows up as sdb1 and i cant mount neither of them
[14:02] <kudak> it is NTFS btw
[14:02] <Reenen> bazhang: I do not want to format the disk, because I've had a bad experience with a reformatting of a USB disk
[14:02] <wols_> !errors | kudak
[14:02] <chase> bazhang that only made a terminal open
[14:03] <lusepuster> unop, I've used gparted before, but hedn't seen I had to select manually which device I wanted to tinker with
[14:03] <Rayme> I'm leaving
[14:03] <lusepuster> unop, there was a problem some time ago when I had to reformat my swap partition every time I booted my laptop...
[14:03] <kudak> wols_: what u want me to paste bro ? the fstab/fdisk ?
[14:03] <bazhang> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal chase is the path
[14:03] <wols_> kudak: the error message "mount" gives
[14:04] <vlada> Hello to all
[14:04] <unop> lusepuster, yea, gparted's interface has changed quite a bit over the last few revisions
[14:04] <chase> I know, but it only opens a terminal, not makes emerald work.
[14:04] <chase> make*
[14:04] <lusepuster> unop, , but it seems to have worked! cool!

[14:07] <chase> bahzang: I wasnt asking random questions, they all are related to this, you said put command in sessions, so i needed to know the path to command

[14:08] <lusepuster> Anothet question - since I upgraded my sisters PC from Dapper to Hardy yesterday, it cannot boot, not even in recovery mode. A fsck fails, and it spews a lot of messages saying something like divice manager: dm-linear: device not found. Someone suggested that could be a bug related to the transition to UUIDs.
