[07:46] <nickrud> chalcedny the key is to check for NetworkManager  (ps -A | grep NetworkManager) and make sure the network applet is running (alt-f2 nm-applet --sm-disable) . Once those are running once, they should run each time you reboot, so you shouldn't have to check them more than once per machine
[07:46] <tovella1> xTheGoat121x: can you send your xorg.conf to pastebin?
[07:46]  * nickrud is tired, cannot compose a single coherent sentence
[07:46] <chalcedny> nickrud: awesome, i was planning to take the linksys back
[07:46] <xTheGoat121x> tovella1, sure, but hold on one second
[07:47] <robert-woes> chalcedny, thanks
[07:47] <nickrud> chalcedny if the NetworkManager isn't running, run    sudo NetworkManager in a terminal
[07:48] <chalcedny> nickrud: ok :)
[07:49] <xTheGoat121x> I think I got it running... though I don't think it's using direct rendering.
[07:50] <murlidhar_> rand0m-: done ?
[07:50] <KintaRo> what is command for system settings or control panel?
[07:50] <rand0m-> murlidhar: no - mentioned earlier that both links you provided failed
[07:51] <chalcedny> nickrud: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
[07:51] <murlidhar_> both?
[07:51] <nickrud> chalcedny you're welcome :)
[07:51] <Ahadiel> KintaRo, try gnome-control-center
[07:51] <error404notfound> some help over: http://pastebin.com/m76c87da3
[07:51] <nerketur> Is anyone here familiar with how to get Second Life to run  on Ubuntu?  Or if it requires the KDE or not?
[07:52] <hovo_> can someone help me install beryl in ubuntu 8.04
[07:52] <hovo_> hardy
[07:52] <Dedoimedo> hello all, anyone needs help, im here to help :)
[07:52] <murlidhar_> rand0m-: then i think it is better to ask in #windows channel about resizing the ntfs partitions
[07:53] <KintaRo> Ahadiel: ok. but i'm on xfce. can i use xfce-control-center?
[07:53] <PryMaL_Work> I would like some opinions on software if I may...
[07:53] <Ahadiel> KintaRo, Oh uhhh.. not sure.
[07:53] <PryMaL_Work> preferences on mail server software guys?!
[07:53] <KintaRo> umm ok duder
[07:54] <LSD|Ninja> PryMaL_Work: I use postfix myself
[07:55] <KintaRo> i found it. xfce-setting-show
[07:55] <cynewave> Anyone here know how to fix or troubleshoot the wireless drop issues that seem to plaque ubuntu with intel wireless cards?
[07:56] <LSD|Ninja> Oh no...
[07:57] <cynewave> I'm guessing that means no.
[07:57] <xTheGoat121x> :)  Thank goodness, I got it working.
[07:57] <LSD|Ninja> cynewave: That wasn't meant at you , sorry
[07:57] <nerketur> I must have an intel wireless card, then... because I'm having that problem every three days... ::sigh::
[07:58] <cynewave> I didn't take it as aimed at me -  it doesn't seem anyone here can tackle my issue.
[07:58] <cynewave> My wireless card drops under load
[07:58] <error404notfound> any comments on :Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/4' - please check.
[07:58] <cynewave> and I haven't been able to get it to reconnect without a reboot
[07:58] <neil_d> with sound juicer, under the 'Output format' MP3 isn't listed, but when I 'edit profiles' MP3 is listed and active, how do I set the output format to MP3 ?
[07:59] <nerketur> I'll be back.  Gonna test SL on Kubuntu
[07:59] <gordonjcp> cynewave: what kind of card?
[07:59] <LSD|Ninja> Only time I've had Ubuntu running on a machine with an Intel wireless card was when I was mucking about with my sisters laptop while I waited for the XP recovery discs to arrive. I never noticed it drop out but I can't have had it booted for more than an hour
[07:59]  * gordonjcp has a thinkpad with an IPW2200, works perfectly, even for long periods of heavy continuous load
[08:00] <KintaRo> how can i uninstall kde4 desktop ?
[08:00] <sysdoc> Trying to import reg file into wine but when I use recode I get this error 'ISO-10646-UCS-2..ANSI_X3.4-1968". Anyone have a work around for this error output?
[08:00] <cynewave> hang on and let me see if I can tell you what model
[08:00] <yacc_> Hi! I've got a problem: sudo, su, login all hang => E.g. text mode login, after entering user/password, expires after 60s anyway.
[08:00] <ridakhan> hi
[08:01] <ridakhan> how are u
[08:01] <error404notfound> why do I get "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/4' - please check." when I run screen -S newSession ?
[08:01] <LSD|Ninja> This was a 3945 I put in there to replace a crappy Broadcom POS. It's part of the reason why it was at my place waiting for new recovery discs but that's a different story
[08:01] <ridakhan> how are u
[08:01] <jpds> !ot > ridakhan
[08:02] <mario> !lista
[08:02] <mario> !list
[08:02] <boho103> harharhar
[08:02] <jpds> mario: This is no warez channel.
[08:02] <cynewave> looks like it is actually a realtek acording to the gateway website
[08:02] <boho103> HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[08:02] <boho103> thepiratebay is down
[08:02] <boho103> : /
[08:03] <dmb> anyone know a command for switching the vt in the terminal/
[08:03] <PryMaL_Work> LSD|Ninja: what's the advantages over something like sendmail?
[08:03] <yacc_> dmb: chvt
[08:03] <jpds> boho103: Please take the offtopic talk to #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support chat.
[08:03] <cynewave> lspci shows all intel chipset thought
[08:03] <boho103> woops sorry
[08:03] <KintaRo> how can i uninstall kde4 desktop ?
[08:04] <jpds> KintaRo: apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop
[08:04] <LSD|Ninja> cynewave: lspci | grep Ethernet <- what does that say?
[08:04] <dmb> Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the consol
[08:04] <KintaRo> jpds: i'm trying uninstall
[08:04] <jpds> KintaRo: Ah.
[08:04] <cynewave> 03:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation PRO/100 VE Network Connection (rev 02)
[08:04] <KintaRo> how can i do?
[08:04] <cynewave> BUT - I believe that is the internal wired nic
[08:04] <jpds> KintaRo: Look for a package call kdelibs5 and remove that.
[08:05] <LSD|Ninja> cynewave: it is, that's all it shows you?
[08:05] <cynewave> yes
[08:05] <KintaRo> ok dude i'm trying now.
[08:05] <cynewave> odd isn't it
[08:05] <yacc_> sudo/su/login hangs, NO messages in /var/log/auth nor messages nor syslog, and the logins stay Zombies after the expiring??
[08:05] <soldering_statio> hi, do u know wher can i get help for install Quake 4 in ubuntu Hardy ,Linux?. i been using ubuntu almost for a year and a like this os, but i have to go back to windows just to play this game.
[08:06] <LSD|Ninja> soldering_statio: quake4 has Linux binaries, not sure what you have to do to get them into Ubuntu
[08:06] <jpds> !quake | soldering_statio
[08:07] <yacc_> Shit, /sbin/init does not wait processes? killing one of the getties gets me a zombie too :(
[08:07] <soldering_statio> a ok i ll check the link thank u
[08:07] <LSD|Ninja> cynewave: yeah, it should so wireless devices under Ethernet... o_O
[08:07] <gordonjcp> soldering_statio: basically you download the Linux installer, run it, and copy the game data across
[08:08] <cynewave> but there isn't - I litterally cut and paste my response
[08:09] <cynewave> I don't see my entries in /etc/network/interfaces either
[08:09] <nerketur> ::sigh::  Second Life is supposed to at least run under Linux.  I know it SHOULD work with my  graphics card, and I know it's a beta-release.  I also know it's not really Ubuntu support... so my next question... Does anyone know of a Ubuntu  and Second Life IRC Channel for support?
[08:10] <valiza1> hi, sometimes firefox will fade to gray scale of colors, any hint as of why?
[08:10] <cynewave> where else can I look for my network devices?
[08:11] <yacc_> cynewave, ifconfig?
[08:11] <yacc_> cynewave, networkmanager do manage networkdevices more user centric.
[08:11] <KintaRo> how can i proccess list?
[08:11] <nerketur> cynewave: iwconfig works for Wireless cards.
[08:12] <soldering_statio> i read some info in ubuntu forums, and im trying to download the installer but when i hit the link it showme a lot of text and it does not stop.  this is what im lokking         ''quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run''         this is the link   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/Quake4
[08:12] <cynewave> let me be more clear - ifconfig and network manager don't give any info on the actual hardware being used
[08:13] <yacc_> cynewave, dmesg
[08:13] <shawn_won> guys
[08:13] <yacc_> cynewave, well, ifconfig gives you the mac address :-P
[08:13] <mgolisch> soldering_statio: right click the link and select to save it to disk
[08:14] <shawn_won> what's the newest version of ubuntu？
[08:14] <yacc_> shawn_won, Hardy
[08:14] <Flannel> shawn_won: 8.04
[08:14] <shawn_won> thx
[08:14] <bozy> Hello!
[08:14] <yacc_> shawn_won, it's always year.04 or year.10
[08:15] <cynewave> Ok - this is the driver it is loading iwl3945
[08:15] <Flannel> it's always year.month
[08:15] <bozy> Hello!
[08:16] <nerketur> Hmm... perhaps my problem is that version 6.06 doesn't work for Second life...  I'll try upgrading, and if that doesn't work, I'll be back.
[08:16] <cynewave> So - 'Realtek' or not, it is an intel chipset and driver being loaded
[08:16] <soldering_statio> i select right click but it only show me the option   ''  save link as ''
[08:17] <R0b0t1> Excuse me, where is the source directory where a game, sauerbraten, will be installed? I wish to modify the source, but I want to install it using apt-get. How would this be possible?
[08:18] <lxl> hi
[08:18] <cynewave> I've seen a lot of info on google that people are having the same problem I am but no solutions, has anyone resolved this wireless drop issue?
[08:18] <soldering_statio> i only get this on firefox but i cant select save as,           #!/bin/sh # This script was generated using Makeself 2.1.5  CRCsum="4248638436" MD5="3838acf174131d21b16045efa2b599fd" TMPROOT=${TMPDIR:=/tmp}  label="Quake 4 (TM)" script="./setup.sh" scriptargs="" targetdir="quake4-linux-1.4.2" filesizes="287544223" keep=n
[08:19] <lxl> joined #ubuntu
[08:19] <Flannel> R0b0t1: current directory
[08:20] <R0b0t1> As in...
[08:20] <R0b0t1> ~?
[08:20] <Flannel> R0b0t1: Whereever you are when you run that command
[08:20] <soldering_statio> do i have to wait until the 200 Mb are ready in the page then select it and save it?
[08:20] <R0b0t1> So I will then be able to recompile it normally later?
[08:20] <R0b0t1> But it will be where apt-get placed it?
[08:20] <mgolisch> R0b0t1: use apt-get source packagename this downlaods the packages source code to the current directory
[08:20] <Flannel> R0b0t1: You download the source package, modify it, then build it, and that produces a deb, then you install that deb with dpkg
[08:21] <mgolisch> R0b0t1: you can apply patches there and then use debuild to build a deb package out of it and install it afterwards
[08:21] <Salmarnir> hey, I have a testing/development webserver running under it's own account, and I want to be able to, as another user, edit any files owned by the webserver's group/account... how would I do this?
[08:21] <R0b0t1> Ok, thanks. I'll be sure to install my "patches" ;)
[08:21] <Flannel> Salmarnir: www-data:www-data is the user/group apache runs as, I suggest adding them to the www-data group.
[08:21] <Salmarnir> I've tried adding myself to it's group with gpasswd, it still gives me permission denied errors unless I chmod to 777..
[08:21] <lk0> Hi. I am looking for some windows tiling soft that is compatible with Gnome. I can not use Fusion. I search trough Ubuntu forums, but any soft does not working for me. WMTile seems to be dead and I was not able to find any downloadable file. WHAW seem to be no more compatible with current X apis. Please would you give me some hints. Thanks guys.
[08:22] <Flannel> Salmarnir: (and then modifying stuff to be writable by group)
[08:22] <Raz0R> hey, how do i see what programs start when i boot?
[08:22] <Salmarnir> Flannel: yeah, I tried that, but it's still not letting me write, even though I'm in the group
[08:22] <Flannel> Salmarnir: 664 will be fine
[08:22] <Flannel> Salmarnir: Write where?
[08:22] <Salmarnir> Flannel: doesn't work under 755. only 777.
[08:22] <Dedoimedo> razor: do you want to know what's running - or what startup apps / services are loaded?
[08:23] <Flannel> Salmarnir: 755 is wrong.  775 would be right.
[08:23] <Salmarnir> Flannel: /var/www/, which is owned by www-data/www-data
[08:23] <Flannel> Salmarnir: when you add to the group, you're using the group permissions, not the owner permissions
[08:23] <sysdoc> Trying to import reg file into wine but when I use recode I get this error 'ISO-10646-UCS-2..ANSI_X3.4-1968". Anyone have a work around for this error output?
[08:23] <Salmarnir> Flannel: ah, right, thank you, that worked!
[08:24] <Flannel> Salmarnir: chmod g+w
[08:24] <Salmarnir> Flannel: will it still be unwritable by other users not in the group if I run that? sorry, not very well-travelled when it comes to unix permissions :(
[08:25] <joobaby> what is the terminal command to see all processes
[08:25] <Flannel> Salmarnir: g+w will only add group write permissions, it won't touch anything else.  If users aren't in the group (and they're not www-data) they won't be able to write, (assuming you don't have all users being able to write)
[08:25] <Starnestommy> joobaby: ps aux
[08:25] <Flannel> joobaby: ps aux
[08:25] <FloodBot1> Flannel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:26] <joobaby> ok, how do I stop a process that is not working properly, ie firefox
[08:26] <Flannel> joobaby: kill
[08:26] <Starnestommy> joobaby: kill <number-of-process>
[08:27] <m1sh-l> Away
[08:27] <R0b0t1> Hmm
[08:27] <R0b0t1> Ubuntu is not letting me change the sourced in the diectory
[08:28] <R0b0t1> sauerbraten-numbers.dfsg
[08:28] <Flannel> R0b0t1: What command did you use to get the source?
[08:28] <R0b0t1> sudo apt-get source sauerbraten
[08:28] <Flannel> R0b0t1: don't use sudo.  All your stuff (in that source package) is owned by root right now
[08:28] <R0b0t1> Oh, damn :D
[08:28] <Flannel> R0b0t1: Either delete it all and get it again, or chown t
[08:29] <hovo> someone was helping me out with beryl
[08:29] <hovo> on 8.04 hardy
[08:29] <joobaby> how do I find the process number of firefox, it wasnt in ps aux
[08:29] <hovo> i got booted off
[08:29] <R0b0t1> Could you tell me the chown command?
[08:29] <Flannel> joobaby: PID is the second column in ps aux
[08:29] <Flannel> R0b0t1: sudo chown -R username:username /path/to/source/dir
[08:30] <Flannel> R0b0t1: be very careful with that, make sure you've got the right directory
[08:30] <mgolisch> hehe
[08:30] <blogi> whats a LDAP?
[08:30] <Flannel> !ldap | blogi
[08:30] <blogi> tnx
[08:31] <joobaby> thanks dudes
[08:32] <R0b0t1> So, Flannel, I can compile it by doing 'cd dir; make install'
[08:32] <R0b0t1> Like normal?
[08:33] <Flannel> R0b0t1: the makefile provided will build the package as a deb, yes.
[08:33] <R0b0t1> Ah
[08:33] <R0b0t1> And then install the deb ;)
[08:34] <Flannel> R0b0t1: with dpkg or gdebi (or clicking on it), yeah
[08:34] <R0b0t1> I'm all for clicking :D
[08:35] <kane77> anyone know how can I "unfreeze" the mouse? I ran vegastrike and it crashed, but it kept hold of the mouse I guess..
[08:39] <Gemmie78> Hello
[08:39] <NPerez> hi
[08:40] <Gemmie78> Currently using firefox, when I click hyperlinks there are now arrows at the top and bottom of the dialog box
[08:40] <Gemmie78> Beforehand, there were no arrows at the top and below. How do I get rid of these arrows
[08:41] <Gemmie78> It's as if they appeared out of nowhere
[08:41] <PrEdaToR`X> just wanna ask general question, can one kind of softphone call another kind of softphone?
[08:43] <cypha> why do i always have to do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" in the terminal window so that my Wireless works? (i have a broadcom)
[08:44] <jamus> how do i edit grub menu (i have too meny kernels there )
[08:44] <Empty_> cypha - put "ndiswrapper" in /etc/modules and that should stop
[08:44] <Flannel> jamus: Just remove the old kernels through your favorite package manager
[08:44] <cypha> where is ndiswrapper now?
[08:45] <Empty_> jamus, it's in /boot/grub/menu.1st but you are better off uninstalling unused kernels
[08:45] <cypha> Empty_, where is ndiswrapper now? locate ndiswrapper gives like a 10000 results
[08:45] <raboof_> ubuntu docs tend to mention things like 'choose System->Administration->Printing', but I use ion3, so I don't have the gnome panel
[08:45] <Empty_> cypha, it's with the hundreds of other kernel modules you don't use- /etc/modules just causes that modprobe to happen at boot time
[08:45] <KintaRo> how can i set default gnome desktop?
[08:46] <raboof_> is it always possible to start those applications from the commandline? How do I find out to which application such a menu corresponds?
[08:46] <Empty_> cypha,  `man modules`
[08:46] <cypha> i don't even have a modules folder in /etc
[08:46] <cypha> i do have an ndiswrapper folder though
[08:46] <raboof_> /etc/modules should be a file
[08:47] <cypha> oh, it is
[08:47] <g3org3s> hello, i installed compiz ... then i removed it , but now , everytime i restart my computer i have to write : metacity --replace so i can get my 2 desktops and normal setting ... how can i program metacity on startup ?
[08:47] <Empty_> Apparently vmware-server is supposed to be in the partner repo, but I can't see it when I apt-cache search... anybody know why?
[08:47] <Gemmie78> Anyone have any answer for me question?
[08:47] <Gemmie78> Basically arrows have appeared in the right click menu when before there were no arrows
[08:47] <Empty_> cypha, that's a text file- `sudo nano /etc/modules` and add ndiswrapper on its own line
[08:47] <Gemmie78> Now these arrows are greyed out, as the menu fully displays
[08:47] <Gemmie78> But I don't understand how these arrows suddenly appear
[08:48] <raboof_> can I start the printer administration application from the commandline? what's it called?
[08:48] <Gemmie78> I don't recall selecting an option like that
[08:49] <Empty_> raboof_: /usr/bin/system-config-printer
[08:49] <DistroJockey> raboof_, I believe it's  system-config-printer
[08:49] <cypha> checking it! brb =)
[08:49] <soldering_statio> thanks gordonjcp i got it now,:-D rick click and save it, download  :) now im downloading the file thank all for the help to instal quake 4
[08:49] <g3org3s> anyone have an answer for my question ?
[08:50] <Starnestommy> g3org3s: you may need to ask it again
[08:50] <raboof_> ah, thanks, found it :)
[08:50] <Agent_bob> i have a boot issue.   i can only boot if i supply root=/dev/root on the commandline     anyone want to stab at lilo ?
[08:51] <Basara> bye~ everybody
[08:52] <KintaRo> how can i set gdm for default?
[08:52] <Gemmie78> Hello anyone know how I can solve my problem?
[08:52] <Empty_> Agent_bob:  why are you using LILO?
[08:53] <dave11> I wonder why the refresh rate for my monitor driver is 62  when the default is 60??
[08:53] <Imaginal> When renaming wma's in Ex Falso, I get the error "Unable to rename file." It creates the new file names, but just doesn't delete the old one.  What else can I try?
[08:53] <Flannel> KintaRo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[08:53] <Starnestommy> asc: are you sure that 9821 is the right PID number?
[08:53] <rxdeath> hey all...http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gray+Dark+Ice+Emerald+Theme?content=73173  i'm trying to do this theme, and i've gotten the windows fram, but my icons and windows backgrounds don't match, i've never messed withthemes is there a good place for icon.window theme stuff
[08:54] <asc> $ pgrep -l mplayer
[08:54] <asc> 9821 mplayer
[08:54] <dave11> !monitor
[08:54] <DistroJockey> asc, sudo killall program-name
[08:54] <Empty_> Agent_bob:  I have not used LILO in some time but the config is in /etc/lilo.conf and you have to run 'lilo' for config changes to take effect
[08:54] <Agent_bob> asc you can   pstree    and killall it's parrent_name
[08:54] <rxdeath> or is that an emerald question maybe i'm not sure where to go
[08:55] <g3org3s> hello, i installed compiz ... then i removed it , but now , everytime i restart my computer i have to write : metacity --replace so i can get my 2 desktops and normal setting ... how can i program metacity on startup ?
[08:55] <asc> Actually, that is interesting. It says the parent is firefox...
[08:55] <Viper111> any bdy can help with ppppoe server on ubuntu
[08:55] <Agent_bob> Empty_ i know where the config is.   and it has the root=  set three times in it.   but still i have to specify at boot time or  it just drops me in a busybox shell and i have to either retry  or make a device node manually
[08:56] <asc> Agent_bob: That did work. Thanks.
[08:56] <Empty_> Agent_bob:  that's... odd. You ran LILO to overwrite the boot sector?
[08:56] <rxdeath> or maybe there is a place in emerald i can install the icons as well?
[08:56] <asc> Unfortunately, it's not what's buggering up alsa :p
[08:56] <Gemmie78> Hellow?
[08:56] <Agent_bob> asc welcome
[08:56] <Gemmie78> I'm having some issue with firefox
[08:56] <wols> Agent_bob: grep root /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:56] <Agent_bob> Empty_ yes.   i know i have to run lilo each time something changes
[08:56] <Gemmie78> The right click dialog bog, when I right click, the menu that pops up
[08:56] <g3org3s> anyone have an answer for my question ?
[08:56] <XiXaQ> I seem to remember that there was a gui for manipulating the grub menu, but I can't remember what it's called? I thought it was the boot-up manager, but that doesn't have anything like that. Anyone?
[08:56] <Gemmie78> Basically arrows appear at the top and bottom of the box now
[08:56] <Agent_bob> wols i don't have grub
[08:57] <Empty_> Agent_bob:  Sorry, just being thorough... no idea man
[08:57] <Gemmie78> Both arrows are greyed out so you cannot select them, but they appeared out of no where
[08:57] <Gemmie78> I want to restore it back to normal, how can I do so
[08:57] <Agent_bob> Empty_    k  thanks.     and if you wanted to see what it does   http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d318df9d

[08:58] <rxdeath> help with installing a new icon theme?
[08:58] <theunixgeek> Viper111: reask your question
[08:58] <wols> R0b0t1: does ../bin_unix exist?
[08:58] <theunixgeek> rxdeath: easy
[08:58] <Agent_bob> i currently reinstalling every installed package just to make sure i didn't break something myself.
[08:58] <wols> !themes
[08:58] <Starnestommy> g3org3s: try going to system > preferences > desktop effects then disable desktop effects
[08:59] <theunixgeek> rxdeath: drag the .tar.gz file into the themes window :)
[08:59] <rxdeath> well i got the windows frame part done, but my icons don't mask
[08:59] <R0b0t1> wols: You mean in /home/?
[08:59] <R0b0t1> No

[08:59] <g3org3s> Starnestommy, i dont have desktop effects in preferences :/
[08:59] <Empty_> Agent_bob:  probably uglier than you want, but maybe crack the case and promote hdb to master via jumper?
[09:00] <Starnestommy> g3org3s: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:00] <wols> R0b0t1: wherever. if it doesn't exist: create it

[09:00] <Gemmie78> Not to be rude, am I on ignore
[09:01] <Gemmie78> I won't spam the channel but I do need help too :(
[09:01] <Agent_bob> Empty_ heh  yeah a lot uglier than i want    but it might actually work.   i'd have to reconfigure fstab and lilo.conf   but i could do that.
[09:01] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, in the Appearance Preferences
[09:01] <Starnestommy> Gemmie78: it's possible that either nobody has an answer for your question or you didn't ask it clearly enough
[09:01] <Empty_> Agent_bob:  Like I said, ugly... but might work
[09:01] <wols> !patience | Gemmie78
[09:02] <Gemmie78> No need for the script
[09:02] <Agent_bob> Empty_ errr  not sure my cable is long enough to put the end drive in the middle though.   and it's all csel  nowadays
[09:02] <Gemmie78> I have been patient, not being rude though
[09:02] <Gemmie78> It's just no one acknowledged my question, that's all
[09:02] <ra21vi_> in chroot, the man page says to choose between debian release,  but ubutnu packageguide help page shows dapper as option to command..
[09:02] <Gemmie78> Next time just say "I don't know" or "I don't care"
[09:02] <Agent_bob> Empty_ of course thats only saying i'd have to move the hardware too.....
[09:03] <DistroJockey> Gemmie78, did you restart Firefox (completely)?
[09:03] <Gemmie78> Yeah
[09:03] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, yes .. im there , i checked all the tabs ... nothing to be changed there ... ?
[09:03] <Empty_> Agent_bob:  uglier and uglier I guess :(
[09:03] <Gemmie78> Restarted both firefox and the computer
[09:03] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, see a Visual Effects tab?
[09:03] <Gemmie78> And I did ask my question clearly enough, basically when you rightclick a hyper link, arrows now appear on the dialog box
[09:03] <theunixgeek> !google | Viper111
[09:04] <Gemmie78> Similar to the arrows you get in firefox in the favourites bar when there are too many favourite links for the screen
[09:04] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, yes i have 3 things : none ( selected ) , normal , and expert , now what ?
[09:04] <Gemmie78> So the arrows allow you to basically scroll up and down
[09:04] <DistroJockey> Gemmie78, you could create another user and see if it does the same thing for that user
[09:04] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, None = turn it off
[09:04] <Gemmie78> Yet the right link dialog box is not very large
[09:04] <SitUbuntuSit> Gemmie78, do you have any extensions installed
[09:04] <Gemmie78> Hence why these arrows are greyed out
[09:04] <rxdeath> theunixgeek: thanks...2/3 i have everything except the background o all my windows is still bright and my text is dark, is there 1 more thing by chance?
[09:05] <Gemmie78> And no, completely stock and default firefox
[09:05] <Gemmie78> Want a screenie?
[09:05] <cr0w> hi
[09:05] <Viper111> any body can help with configuration of a pppoe server
[09:05] <cr0w> how I install the splash screen?
[09:05] <SitUbuntuSit> Gemmie78, yes
[09:05] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, none was selected ... what should i do ?
[09:05] <theunixgeek> rxdeath: mess around with the appearance preferences and you'll discover somewhere you can alter colors
[09:05] <cr0w> how I install the splash screen?
[09:06] <rxdeath> ah ok cool, just making sure i wasnt missing something, thanks again!

[09:06] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, well, not sure, I was just helping you find it when you needed to. Not exactly sure what your main issue was

[09:06] <laughtear> hi everyone.... i just installed my fresh new ubuntu hardy yesterday night. and need some answers for a few questions: 1st: which folder is the best and the secure for sharing files on a local network in ubuntu?
[09:07] <ra21vi_> how to use the jdk installed in my ubuntu to the chrooted environment?>
[09:07] <XiXaQ> laughtear, one folder is as good as another, but Public seems like a good choice.
[09:07] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, i tried installing compiz fusion ... removed it ... now everytime my pc starts , it doesnt start with metacity .. i have to do metacity --replace so i can get my 2 desktops in the down right corner
[09:07] <ra21vi_> can I use the same package, or whole distro is reinstalled in chrooted environment
[09:08] <unable> hola
[09:08] <cr0w> my GMD themes is too much large. how the change the resolution?
[09:08] <wols> ra21vi_: are you running debian or ubuntu?
[09:08] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, only suggestion is to reconfigure metacity using apt-get/aptitude, but that may be too harsh
[09:08] <LSD|Ninja> cr0w: you have to fiddle about with xorg.conf afaik
[09:08] <laughtear> XiXaQ: i tried to share that folder on local network to copy files from another notebook ubuntu. but permissions denied after installing file sharing..
[09:09] <XiXaQ> laughtear, what kind of file sharing are you talking about?
[09:09] <cr0w> LSDWinja how the change explains to me?
[09:09] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, no such file or directory :/
[09:09] <unable> hallo
[09:10] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, see what the following file contains:  /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[09:10] <laughtear> XiXaQ: 2 computers at home. they both have ubuntu hardy. there are music files which i need to copy from the other one, but can't see it on the network
[09:10] <Agent_bob> howto prevent mounting on /dev  ?
[09:10] <artagnon> some texlive-lang-* installs are broken and I'm unable to use apt to remove/ reinstall them
[09:11] <artagnon> What can I do?
[09:11] <yash1234> hi
[09:11] <artagnon> I just want to get rid of them for the moment
[09:11] <wols> !errors | artagnon
[09:11] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, it contains : /usr/sbin/gdm
[09:11] <laughtear> XiXaQ: sorry, i can see it, but it looks as it's in an windows network...?
[09:11] <artagnon> fine
[09:11] <artagnon> one sec
[09:11] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, k, that's as it should be
[09:11] <ra21vi_> wols: i am running ubutnu, and the debootstrap showd manpages examples with debian, so I was asking for latest debin release, not I put there hardy
[09:11] <unable> guten morgen
[09:11] <pawan> hi
[09:11] <spiel_mit_feuer> im wondering if someone here could assist me with setting up xchat?
[09:11] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, metacity should starts fine now ?
[09:11] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, when you said "no such file or directory :/" what did you mean by that?
[09:12] <rxdeath> hmmm..what is the window type that would be equivalent to the left most bar (file explorer)
[09:12] <laughtear> XiXaQ: and i still can't share the folder (the folder name becomes red highlighted when i try)
[09:12] <XiXaQ> laughtear, if it's only ubuntu, then you can install openssh-server on them and easily use the files on the other computer as if they were local. open this url in your browser to install it: apt://openssh-server
[09:12] <pawan> what is wubi
[09:12] <ra21vi_> wols: can you help me with this chroot.
[09:12] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, not if you havn't changed anything yet
[09:12] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, that happened when i copy pasted what you wrote to me ..
[09:12] <dave11> !xchat
[09:12] <artagnon> configration file texmf.cnf not found and several /etc/texmf/language.d/00tex.cnf not found errors
[09:12] <wols> ra21vi_: only if you ask sensible questions or state your problems clearly
[09:12] <spiel_mit_feuer> i need to set up some sort of an IRC file server similar to omenserve for windows mIRC
[09:12] <ra21vi_> pawan: wubi is windows installer which installs Ubuntu from and on windows
[09:12] <Starnestommy> pawan: it's a program that allows ubuntu to be installed in a large file on a windows partition
[09:12] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, I didn't give an exact command, just a general idea :)
[09:12] <KintaRo> yemekteyim ben gelirim birazdan
[09:12] <artagnon> other misc errors about files missing in /etc
[09:12] <Starnestommy> spiel_mit_feuer: try asking in #xchat
[09:12] <artagnon> I just need to force remove
[09:12] <ra21vi_> wols: when did you find I was insensible? and unclear
[09:12] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, sorry am a noob in ubuntu :/
[09:12] <cr0w> my GMD themes is too much large. how the change the resolution?
[09:13] <Agent_bob> anyone know how to keep udev from mounting a tmpfs on /dev ?
[09:13] <LSD|Ninja> Agent_bob: uhh... That's how udev works
[09:13] <wols> ra21vi_: you haven't asked a single specific question about your problem
[09:13] <laughtear> XiXaQ: okay, but i need you to explain what it is a little bit more (you know, filesharing, must be careful..) if you could.
[09:13] <mistform> my sound is all whacked out. I was just on youtube, and instead of crashing firefox (like it usually does) my sound is WAH-WAH'ing
[09:13] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, tis ok, I'm looking into the correct command that will reconfigure metacity (but as I said, it may not be the best course to follow)
[09:13] <Agent_bob> LSD|Ninja not for me it's not.
[09:13] <artagnon> wols: The erros are returned by the post-install script
[09:13] <wols> ra21vi_: and "can someone help me" without specifics is simply, dumb
[09:14] <SitUbuntuSit> crow, you can extract the gdm theme, open the background in gimp and scale it, then repackage it
[09:14] <ra21vi_> wols: ok, here is the problem scenario...
[09:14] <Agent_bob> LSD|Ninja that's how udev keeps permissions screwed up   ;/
[09:14] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, i appreciate the help :) alot , just tell me if you find anything
[09:14] <wols> artagnon: I told you what I need. until you can provide this: have a nice day and please don't bothre me anymore. thank you
[09:14] <cr0w> how I shape the xorg.conf?
[09:14] <artagnon> wols: too many files are missing for me to manually ar extract the dev files and put them in the right directories
[09:14] <LSD|Ninja> Agent_bob: no, the permissions are screwed because you fail in creating proper rules
[09:14] <laughtear> XiXaQ: okay, but i need you to explain what it is a little bit more (you know, filesharing, must be careful..) if you could.
[09:14] <pawan> what is wubi
[09:14] <XiXaQ> laughtear, ssh is the Secure Shell. It's used for remote logins, but can also be used to transfer files. The users will have to enter your username and password though, but that's ok if you want to share the files between your own users on your own computers.
[09:14] <wols> !wubi | pawan
[09:14] <cr0w> how i configure the xorg.conf ?!
[09:14] <artagnon> wols: configration file texmf.cnf not found and several /etc/texmf/language.d/00tex.cnf not found errors >> I thought you read that
[09:15] <spiel_mit_feuer> is #xchat on the ubuntu server?
[09:15] <Agent_bob> LSD|Ninja no.  i didn't create any rules.   so if that's the case the perms are screwed because of ubuntu default settings.
[09:15] <Starnestommy> spiel_mit_feuer: it's on this one
[09:15] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, this may do it:    sudo apt-get install --reinstall metacity
[09:15] <LSD|Ninja> SitUbuntuSit: It's not a problem with the theme, it's because gdm assumes a larger virtual res than the physical res. Only way around it is messing with xorg.conf afaik
[09:15] <HotGirl> hi can ne1 help me set up my router?/ lu
[09:15] <LSD|Ninja> Agent_bob: Then fix the rules
[09:15] <ra21vi_> wols: I have a Ubuntu Hardy lastest updated system on Intel Core 2 Duo, with 1.23 GB Memory, and it is primarily used for my development work, using Gnome, X, and eclipse... as well as Internet surfing... Now the requirement is to install the jdk, ant and cruise control build system on it as per the project requirement
[09:15] <HotGirl> ill send u nekkid pix if u do
[09:15] <SitUbuntuSit> ah, misunderstood LSD|Ninja
[09:15] <XiXaQ> laughtear, it's encrypted, so it's very nice when you've connecting over an insecure connection.
[09:15] <Starnestommy> spiel_mit_feuer: technically it's on freenode but irc.ubuntu.com points to freenode
[09:15] <Agent_bob> LSD|Ninja easier to have static device nodes
[09:15] <rxdeath> i got everything black but that left most menu bar that is the file explorer, where or what is the control for that frame called?  its not an input box (although the text acts like it)
[09:16] <ra21vi_> wols: so I am configuring a chroot, since I don't want my system be messed with these experiments and people dont come out of chroot
[09:16] <laughtear> XiXag: ok, thank you very much. can you help me about another thing if i'd ask?
[09:16] <LSD|Ninja> Agent_bob: If you want that then slackware is over there -->
[09:16] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, if you want to pastebin the output before you say y/n I'll take a look
[09:16] <spiel_mit_feuer> so ill just be able to hit server, join channel, and type that in?
[09:16] <Starnestommy> spiel_mit_feuer: just type /join #xchat
[09:16] <cr0w> how i configure the xorg.conf ?!
[09:16] <rxdeath> and the list of names in ubuntu
[09:17] <spiel_mit_feuer> well i made it there
[09:17] <ra21vi_> wols: and the progress till now is: chroot installation in progress, debootstrap is downloading packages
[09:17] <Starnestommy> spiel_mit_feuer: yes, I yhink so
[09:17] <Starnestommy> *think
[09:17] <Agent_bob> LSD|Ninja are you intimating that one does not have the right to configure a ubuntu box the way they want ?       but before this goes any farther ot.  i'll drop it.
[09:17] <ra21vi_> cr0w: with any editor like vim or nano or even gedit
[09:17] <LinuxIST> ndiswrapper irq disable http://rafb.net/p/ByQagi98.html
[09:17] <LSD|Ninja> cr0w: I *think* you have to remove everything larger than your normal res from teh screen sections but having never bothered with it, I don't know
[09:17] <XiXaQ> laughtear, possibly. By the way, if you press tab when you're entering a nickname, then it'll be completed.
[09:17] <DistroJockey> cr0w, there is a command listed near the top of /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is a good place to start
[09:17] <laughtear> i also have some ntfs partitions on this pc, and thanks to ubuntu that it can mount them whenever i need. but i want those partitions mounted on desktop when i turn on my computer and start ubuntu automaticaly. how can i do it?
[09:17] <LSD|Ninja> Agent_bob: You can configure udev how you want. With udev rules. It's not Ubuntu's problem if you can't be bothered learning them.
[09:18] <DistroJockey> cr0w, make a backup first though
[09:18] <artagnon> cr0w: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:18] <wols> artagnon: not anymore
[09:18] <spiel_mit_feuer> xchat is dead though
[09:18] <ra21vi_> wols: any comment on previous msg
[09:18] <wols> laughtear: put them in fstab and set the options to mount the by default on bootup
[09:19] <Agent_bob> cr0w the first listing of a rez on the line is the one xorg rties to use.   put your default as first per line
[09:19] <wols> ra21vi_: yes. state a problem. I doN't see one
[09:19] <ra21vi_> wols: problem still to come, download is in progress.
[09:19] <laughtear> wols: fstab? (i'm too new for that fstab thing buddy, but i can use the configuration editor if would help)
[09:19] <ra21vi_> wols: i was just thinking, If i can use the jdk preinstalled in ubuntu or i will have to install one in chroot
[09:20] <wols> ra21vi_: untill you know how to state a specific problem: please don't talk to me anymore cause I don't care what you or your PC are doing right now. thank you.
[09:20] <ra21vi_> wols: and i figured it out, i will have to install it
[09:20] <wols> theoretically possible to use the one in ubuntu btu it will be a bIG hassle
[09:20] <ra21vi_> wols: why are you so rude
[09:20] <wols> ra21vi_: cause this is a support channel and not a chat channel goodbye
[09:20] <ra21vi_> wols: and who knows what the specific problem statement means'
[09:21] <wols> ra21vi_: it means: I try to do X and when I do Y to accopmlish this I get error Z
[09:21] <wols> and you have not said anything like that right now. since you think I am rude, ask someone else to help you. good day
[09:21] <ra21vi_> wols: and what if i ask, how can I do this, even before I would really do that, thats just curiosity, not getting support.
[09:22] <cr0w> i have a problem...i want install SPLASH screen and my GDM themes is too much large..how i change the resolution ?
[09:22] <artagnon> cr0w: scale the image using an image editing program?
[09:22] <laughtear> wols: what is and where is fstab?
[09:22] <a13x> i am getting this error: dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error
[09:22] <cr0w> ok
[09:22] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, ohh i already did it n closed console , i will try that , and if doesnt work after restart , i will come back :) thakns alot !!
[09:23] <artagnon> laughtear: /etc/fstab
[09:23] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, k
[09:23] <ra21vi_> so it means, this is just a channel where people should only come when they get error. Let me put, how good the support is.
[09:23] <wols> laughtear: man fstab. /etc/fstab
[09:23] <DistroJockey> g3org3s, you're welcome
[09:23] <g3org3s> DistroJockey, thanks alot , i appreciate the help
[09:23] <Agent_bob> LSD|Ninja and ffr you could have just said "edit /etc/init.d/udev"
[09:23] <artagnon> laughtear: Look at the lines in the file to learn from them. And write your own after the ones already present (if any)
[09:23] <wols> a13x: what package?
[09:24] <a13x> actually, i had a file system crash from which i recovered
[09:24] <a13x> gstreamer library files were damaged
[09:24] <Shish_> hey, this is really weird (for me), i just plugged in my external harddrive and it says unable to mount... and thats that?!  what do i do? please
[09:25] <wols> Shish_: what did you do?
[09:25] <a13x> i wanted to reinstall, so i tried, and go the error dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error
[09:25] <wols> a13x: I guess gstreamer wasn't the only thing damaged?
[09:25] <laughtear> artagnon, wols, XiXaQ: thanks everyone..:)
[09:25] <artagnon> Shish_: paste the dmesg | tail's lines relevant to this issue
[09:25] <Shish_> wols: nothin, just plugged in the usb, and normally it mounts.. but an error popped up sayin unable to mount...
[09:25] <XiXaQ> laughtear, you're welcome, and have fun :)
[09:25] <Shish_> artagnon: im sorry, im not sure what u mean...
[09:25] <LSD|Ninja> Agent_bob: That's not the way it's supposed to work. If you want to bypass the proper way of doing things because you;re too lazy to learn it then that's your problem
[09:25] <wols> Shish_: try to mount manually
[09:25] <artagnon> type dmesg|tail in the terminal
[09:25] <a13x> wols: correct
[09:26] <artagnon> and show us the output
[09:26] <Shish_> wols: no idea how to mount manually...:S sorry...  im basic!
[09:26] <Shish_> artagnon: ok did that, what exactly do u want me to paste?
[09:27] <artagnon> Shish_: paste everything actually to rafb.net/paste or similar
[09:27] <a13x> wols: how can i fix this error
[09:27] <Agent_bob> LSD|Ninja i only asked how to stop it from mounting on /dev   didn't ask for a attitude.  i have one of my own thank you.
[09:27] <wols> Agent_bob: with your own ubuntu you can do whatever your heart desires, good things, bad things or building baby mulching machines. however if you help someone in here, you can ONLY tell the ubuntu approved way. e.g. no envy for videocards and the like
[09:27] <wols> a13x: either you answer my question or you help yourself
[09:27] <mib_tiwi4d12> hey, i just installed ubuntu in my laptop, i have an imac g4 so i used the ppc ubuntu.. y forgot to connect the laptop and the battery discharged, now when i log in nothing happens. and the date is all wrong.. it says december 31..anyone knows what to do??
[09:27] <Shish_> artagnon: ok, please be patient with me... im sure ur gonna grind ur teeth here.. i dont have a clue on what u mean
[09:27] <wols> Agent_bob: don't run udev
[09:27] <artagnon> Shish_: ok. Go to http://rafb.net/paste
[09:27] <KintaRo> Starnestommy hi dude
[09:27] <KintaRo> how are you
[09:28] <KintaRo> :-)
[09:28] <artagnon> Shish_: type dmesg | tail
[09:28] <wols> that's pretty much the only way to not let it moutn /dev, however that will break some things
[09:28] <artagnon> and paste the output of that into the website
[09:28] <a13x> wols: gstreamer wasn't the only thing that was damaged
[09:28] <artagnon> give us the url
[09:28] <Agent_bob> wols or edit it's startup script ;/
[09:28] <wols> a13x: I asked you something else
[09:28] <LSD|Ninja> You can do some pretty neat stuff with udev, the trouble is that people aren't willing to learn it so get all pissy when it doesn't work the way they want
[09:28] <wols> Agent_bob: doing that is simply stupid
[09:29] <wols> LSD|Ninja: udev is sh..... great idea, lousy execution and lets not even talk about documentation...
[09:29] <a13x> wols: i don't see it
[09:29] <mib_tiwi4d12> hey, i just installed ubuntu in my laptop, i have an imac g4 so i used the ppc ubuntu.. y forgot to connect the laptop and the battery discharged, now when i log in nothing happens. and the date is all wrong.. it says december 31..anyone knows what to do?? sorry for repeating
[09:29] <Shish_> artagnon: ok did that...
[09:29] <artagnon> My texlive-lang-* installs are broken. apt returns a post-install error along with some /tmp/checkrun.* files. The concatenated output is in http://pastebin.ca/1085008
[09:30] <artagnon> Shish_: paste us the url so we can look at it!
[09:30] <wols> mib_tiwi4d12: "nothing happens"?
[09:30] <artagnon> the url of the paste
[09:30] <Shish_> artagnon:  http://rafb.net/p/ZS0xn632.html
[09:30] <Shish_> sorry
[09:30] <Shish_> hahaha, lil slow there
[09:30] <Shish_> here*
[09:30] <a13x> wols: what was your other question?
[09:30] <LSD|Ninja> wols: Again, peoples problems with it are largely the result of them not bothering to learn how it works
[09:31] <artagnon> Shish_: drop to the terminal, sudo mkdir /mnt/flash && sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/flash
[09:31] <artagnon> paste the output of that please
[09:31] <mib_tiwi4d12> nop.. it shows the background but doesn't show the toolbar or anything
[09:31] <Shish_> artagnon: k, one sec
[09:31] <artagnon> sorry sdb`1
[09:31] <artagnon> it's sdb1
[09:31] <markturnip> Has anyone any experience with 'TestDisk' I've been running it all night, and it seems to have got stuck at 75% and going really really slow, with a very occasional click of the drive as it spins.... Does this mean there's a hardware failure?
[09:31] <artagnon> not sdb2
[09:31] <Shish_> k
[09:31] <DistroJockey> markturnip, sounds very likely
[09:32] <a13x> wols: what was your other question?
[09:32] <wols> LSD|Ninja: it's (almost) imposible to learn since there are no docs
[09:33] <wols> markturnip: use smartmontools
[09:33] <DistroJockey> markturnip, you could take a look at  photorec  (part of the testdisk package) to try and get as much data off it to another drive as you can
[09:33] <Shish_> artagnon: URL: http://rafb.net/p/xXhkvK99.html
[09:33] <mib_tiwi4d12> nop.. it shows the background but doesn't show the toolbar or anything
[09:33] <backslash7> Is there a way to set mouse sensitivy to be higher? The maximum isn't really much :/
[09:34] <artagnon> Shish_: congrats, you solved it
[09:34] <LSD|Ninja> wols: there used to be a couple of decent tutorials on the subject back when I ran Gentoo
[09:34] <artagnon> just read what's written there
[09:34] <artagnon> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash -o force
[09:34] <artagnon> do that
[09:34] <FloodBot1> artagnon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:34] <Shish_> artagnon: hmmmmm one sec... lol
[09:34] <artagnon> and you'll have it mounted
[09:34] <DistroJockey> markturnip, I have only used them on FAT partitions successfully thus far though
[09:35] <Shish_> artagnon: k did that, but it says only root can do that
[09:35] <artagnon> right, just add a sudo in front of it
[09:35] <Shish_> artagnon: im sorry for testin ur patience here... im sure that has a simple fix...?
[09:35] <Shish_> lol
[09:35] <artagnon> sudo means "do as super user" or similar. I'm not pedantic
[09:35] <a13x> could somebody please explain to me what this error message means: dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error
[09:36] <artagnon> a13x: probably trying to install something compiled for ARM while running i386?
[09:36] <zaapiel> a13x: sounds like dpkg was unable to execute post-installation script
[09:36] <artagnon> a13x: without more information, that's all I can say
[09:36]  * zaapiel lol's
[09:36] <artagnon> the post-install script wasn't a valid executable in other words
[09:36] <markturnip> thanks for the suggestions, I'll get right on it!
[09:37] <a13x> my file system crashed, i booted from livecd ran xfs_repair, rebooted back into os and found bunch of libraries missing
[09:37] <artagnon> My texlive-lang-* installs are broken. apt returns a post-install error along with some /tmp/checkrun.* files. The concatenated output is in http://pastebin.ca/1085008
[09:37] <artagnon> oops
[09:37] <artagnon> dunno what that does
[09:37] <artagnon> xfs_repair?
[09:37] <markturnip> The drive's still in warranty, so I'll be able to get a replacement, still frustrating as I've only used it 2/3 times...
[09:37] <a13x> artagnon: yes
[09:37] <a13x> artagnon: i have xfs file system
[09:37] <markturnip> on the same issue, the drive won't mount on my Mac, would the hardware failure be related to this?
[09:37] <artagnon> I figured as much
[09:38] <artagnon> but I dunno what the repair does exacly
[09:38] <artagnon> I use ext3
[09:38] <backslash7> How can I reload xorg.conf without reboot / close X ?
[09:38] <markturnip> Just it would easier if I could mount it to copy all the data off rather than do it through UBuntu....
[09:38] <a13x> artagnon: now i tried to reinstall gstreamer libraries and this is what i get
[09:38] <DistroJockey> a13x, this thread may help:  http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2004-06/0826.html
[09:38] <DistroJockey> a13x, old, but probablly still valid
[09:38] <Shish_> artagnon: wow, k, so it works, thank you so much again, for ur patience especially.. as u can tell im super new to ubuntu.... thank you so much again -- and that website.. just an online clip board basically then?
[09:39] <wols> backslash7: not doable. you must reastart X
[09:39] <backslash7> kay
[09:39] <a13x> DistroJockey, i will try
[09:39] <artagnon> Shish_: np, everyone's a newbie sometime or the other. Yes, the site's an online clipboard
[09:39] <DistroJockey> a13x, good luck (have a copy of fstab ;) )
[09:39] <artagnon> Shish_: people don't like the channel to be flooded with outputs
[09:39] <Shish_> artagnon: cool, well that makes sense
[09:39] <Shish_> lol
[09:40] <Shish_> thanks again, have a good day/nite
[09:40] <a13x> DistroJockey, would i need to rebuild initrd image?
[09:40]  * artagnon nods
[09:40] <DistroJockey> a13x, not sure really. sorry
[09:40] <mib_tiwi4d12> hey.. i just intalled ubuntu on my imac g4.. it runs with ppc.. i think my battery is damaged.. anyway it ran out of bat and know after i log in my username and password,, it just shows the brown background, nothing else happens, and also the date and time is wrong.. help please
[09:41] <DistroJockey> a13x, just from the bit I read it seems making /var exec rather than noexec or user may help
[09:41] <artagnon> isn't there some way to instruct apt to just forget about what's installed temporarily and flush out whatever files it can to remove a piece of software?
[09:41] <artagnon> I was trying something undocumented... actually still trying
[09:41] <artagnon> crossing an Ubuntu system over to Debian live
[09:41] <artagnon> so far, I've got the Debian kernel to boot
[09:41] <artagnon> but apt problems are getting on my nerves
[09:42] <dolphin_noel> i'm sorry the question but i add in /etc/passwd >>> /bin/false to the root (and) even likethis it keeps to ... login as root someone knows why?!
[09:42] <DistroJockey> a13x, I just googled "dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error" and it was the first link :)
[09:42] <mib_tiwi4d12> hey.. i just intalled ubuntu on my imac g4.. it runs with ppc.. i think my battery is damaged.. anyway it ran out of bat and know after i log in my username and password,, it just shows the brown background, nothing else happens, and also the date and time is wrong.. help please
[09:42] <a13x> DistroJockey, i don't think it will work
[09:43] <a13x> DistroJockey, i am able to execute from /
[09:43] <DistroJockey> a13x, maybe the 3rd link? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=401232

[09:44] <yasahiro> im just curious... is there anything i should know before upgrading my monitor? this one is a crt, my new one is, of course, an lcd flat panel..
[09:44] <DistroJockey> a13x, is  /var  mounted separately in your  /etc/fstab  ?
[09:44] <LSD|Ninja> mib_tiwi4d12: sounds like something else is wrong, a dead battery shouldn't cause problems like that
[09:45] <mib_tiwi4d12> what should i do??
[09:46] <DistroJockey> mib_tiwi4d12, I'd reinstall while on AC power honestly
[09:46] <mib_tiwi4d12> ok.. thanx
[09:47] <cr0w> hi..on login writing appears " Nautilus Gnome" before it did not appear never. I remove how it?
[09:47] <cr0w> hi..on login writing appears " Nautilus Gnome" before it did not appear never. how i remove it?
[09:47] <DistroJockey> cr0w, appears where/how?
[09:48] <cr0w> low to right. in a small square
[09:48] <DistroJockey> cr0w, can you post a screenshot of it please?
[09:48] <mgolisch> its the gnome splash screen probably
[09:49] <mgolisch> but it shouldnt be enabled by default as it sucks
[09:49] <cr0w> come si cattura la immagine ? con STAMP ?
[09:49] <cr0w> how capture the image? with STAMP?
[09:49] <DistroJockey> cr0w, ahh, sorry, I thought you ment after you login
[09:50] <ActionBoy> I'm pretty new to linux, and my Hardy install on my laptop has decided to stall at "starting up..." and I don't really know how to go about troubleshooting it, anyone have any ideas? (I believe it has to do with an update that I now realize probably came from the ubuntu-proposed repository which I turned on a few days ago for something unrelated)
[09:50] <cr0w> one is before the login. how I make?
[09:50] <DistroJockey> cr0w, not sure you can at that stage
 Hi guys
[09:50] <ajay>  Im a starter in the linux world
[09:50] <ajay>  I could handle basic stuff so i dont know if i could ask simple questions to you guys
[09:50] <ajay>  meaning do i have to to use a channel for beginners
[09:50] <FloodBot1> ajay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:50] <rconan> ActionBoy, mine does that with kernel 2.6.24-20, have you tried booting an older kernel?
[09:51] <rconan> 2.6.24-19 works fine for me
[09:51] <ActionBoy> rconan - Nope, but that's exactly the update I was referring to, how do I go about booting an older kernel? (I have tons of windows experience, and barely any with linux, trying to learn...)
[09:51] <DistroJockey> cr0w, Print Screen button works after logging in, but probably not before
[09:51] <gordonjcp> ajay: no, just ask away ;-)
[09:51] <ajay> thanks alot
[09:52] <ajay> ill start with a very simple one hehe
[09:52] <rconan> ActionBoy, if you press escape when grub is counting down from three to one you will get a menu
[09:52] <ajay> when i di uname -a am i suppose to see what is the version on linux i have
[09:52] <rconan> ajay, it shows you the kernel version among other things yes
[09:52] <ajay> i mean uname -a
[09:53] <ajay> i want to know like if its feisty
[09:53] <ajay> or hardy stuff like that
[09:53] <mgolisch> lsb_release -a
[09:53] <ActionBoy> rconan - Well, that was a lot easier than I expected, lol, and it seems to have done the trick :) is there anything I need to do to make that the default?
[09:53] <ajay> thanks
[09:54] <transistor_x> hi
[09:54] <ajay> rconan im reading on beryl
[09:54] <rconan> ActionBoy, change "default 0" to "default 2" in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:55] <ajay> i want to know how could i verify its already set up
[09:55] <ActionBoy> rconan - great, thanks, you're a lifesaver, really appreciate it
[09:55] <rconan> ajay, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[09:55] <Roro_> join #wiwiland
[09:55] <ajay>  2.6.24-16-generic
[09:55] <Roro_> err... wrong window -_-
[09:55] <rconan> no... as in gutsy or hardy?
[09:56] <mgolisch> lsb_release -a
[09:56] <mgolisch> should tell you
[09:56] <ajay> aaw sorry
[09:56] <ajay> its hardy
[09:56] <ajay> 8.04
[09:56] <rconan> it should be set up by default
[09:56] <mgolisch> why beryl? hardy ships with compiz-fussion
[09:56] <ali1234> hi. i just tried to burn a 4GB iso to DVD but i only had 2.7GB free on /. so i moved the image to another partition and then deleted it from / yet i still have only 2.7GB free. what is going on?
[09:57] <ajay> thats the thing guy im a starter im reading alot on the graphic thing
[09:57] <ajay> i dont know where to start
[09:57] <rconan> compiz-fusion which is installed by default is probably your best best
[09:57] <mgolisch> ali1234: how did you delete it? using your filemanager? the filemanager just moves/copies it to a hidden trash directory
[09:57] <mgolisch> ali1234: it wont realy delte the file unless you clean your trashcan
[09:58] <a13x> DistroJockey, thanks, that last forum linked helped
[09:58] <ajay> i selected the extra option in the visual effect option  there
[09:58] <ali1234> mgolisch: i used the shell, rm -rf "the_directory"
[09:58] <mgolisch> ali1234: strange
[09:58] <mgolisch> it should be gone then
[09:58] <ali1234> yes, isn't it? do you think i should run fdisk?
[09:58] <DistroJockey> a13x, ahh cool :) You're welcome
[09:58] <mgolisch> maybe try flush
[09:58] <mgolisch> and if its still not freed do a filesystem check
[09:58] <ajay> i could see some of the great graphic options (my terminal is waving when i move it)
[09:59] <ali1234> mgolisch: "flush: command not found" - i already tried sync
[09:59] <konsep> h
[09:59] <ajay> but basically thats it I would like to be able to have the cube option there like i saw on youtube
[09:59] <mgolisch> ali1234: aehm thats what i meant
[09:59] <mgolisch> :)
[09:59] <rconan> you need to install compiz config settings manager
[09:59] <ajay> btw sorry for asking you all these questions
[09:59] <ajay> ok
[09:59] <DistroJockey> ali1234, you could also check   df -h
[09:59] <ajay> what about the emeral manager
[10:00] <ali1234> DistroJockey: that is what i am looking at
[10:00] <ajay> i have this installed but do i need it
[10:00] <mgolisch> if you want to use emerald themes get one too
[10:00] <DistroJockey> ali1234, then I assume the place you moved it to is still under / ?
[10:01] <ali1234> DistroJockey: no the place i _copied_ it to is a USB external drive
[10:01] <ajay> it tells me that its already installed
[10:01] <ali1234> DistroJockey: after copying i md5 both files to check them, then deleted the original
[10:01] <ajay> so i executed the compiz in terminal
[10:01] <ali1234> DistroJockey: but the space was not freed
[10:02] <DistroJockey> ali1234, ahh. hmm
[10:02] <rconan> ajay, if ccsm is installed you just need to run it and turn on the cube effect if that's the one you want
[10:03] <ali1234> ok then, what is the correct way to run fsck on /?
[10:03] <Kucuk> What command would I need to mount /dev/hda2 to /home
[10:03] <utilisateur> hi folks
[10:04] <utilisateur> is there a graphical ubuntu equivalent to kinternet to start/stop pppoe connections graphically?
[10:06] <ajay> i started the compiz in terminal
[10:06] <ajay> it changed my display screen
[10:07] <neil_d> I would like to join 4 audio files into 1, what format should I use, how could I do this ?
[10:07] <ajay> but i did a ctrl+c in the terminal to close compiz and it jammed all my windows
[10:07] <LSD|Ninja> ajay: did you run compiz from that terminal?
[10:07] <ali1234> neil_d: i recommend audacity for doing that with a GUI. format choice depends on the sounds and what you plan to do with them
[10:08] <ajay> yes
[10:08] <LSD|Ninja> ajay: then that's why
[10:08] <LSD|Ninja> ajay: you probably forgot to run it as a background (&) process
[10:09] <ajay> sorry :S im a starter thats why
[10:09] <ajay> well is there a tutorial that i should read
[10:09] <ajay> because i dont know the differnce between compiz or beryl
[10:09] <LSD|Ninja> ajay: they;re the same now
[10:09] <ajay> ok
[10:09] <LSD|Ninja> ajay: to enable compiz you go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects and pick your poison
[10:09] <neil_d> ali1234: thanks, will try that
[10:09] <bozy> hello,test
[10:09] <bozy> test
[10:10] <LSD|Ninja> bozy: fail
[10:10] <bozy> sucess
[10:10] <bidossessi_> hi folks
[10:10] <bidossessi_> anyone, gnome equivalent to kinternert?
[10:10] <ali1234> AH i see the problem. the file is still open for rw :)
[10:11] <ajay> LSD|Ninja: i dont see that
[10:11] <DistroJockey> ali1234, ahh :)
[10:11] <ali1234> needed to shutdown bittorrent, of course
[10:11] <ajay> me the only thing that i did in there was to set the EXTRA option in visual effect
[10:12] <ajay> LSD|Ninja: now i see like my terminal waves when i move it stuff like that
[10:12] <mgolisch> yeah
[10:12] <LSD|Ninja> ajay: that's compiz at work
[10:12] <ajay> but how could i get like the cube effect
[10:12] <DistroJockey> !ccsm | ajay
[10:13] <ajay> ok guys thanks alot u rock everybody
[10:13] <ajay> ill try that right now
[10:13] <LSD|Ninja> Why isn't that installed by default anyway? If you enable compiz it's almost a requirement so making it part of the base system isn't such a bad idea
[10:13] <DistroJockey> LSD|Ninja, yeah, I agree (mostly) :)
[10:14] <ali1234> LSD|Ninja: the default compiz config is quite good if you just want a usable system. you only need ccsm if you want to make your desktop look like some youtube video atrocity
[10:14] <KintaRo> how can i hide my ip like unaffiliated ?
[10:14] <ajay> ubottu: i installed the compiz-manager
[10:14] <ajay> hehe
[10:14] <DistroJockey> :)
[10:14] <TuxPWNZ> I can't move me files to Trash
[10:14] <LSD|Ninja> KintaRo: go into #freenode and ask (nicely) for a cloak
[10:15] <KintaRo> LSD|Ninja: ok
[10:15] <TuxPWNZ> The system keeps asking me if i wanted to delete them immediately.
[10:15] <DistroJockey> ajay, simple-ccsm will show in Visual Effects as another option
[10:15] <cr0w> hi
[10:15] <cr0w> on login a small right window appears me low with the written Gnome - Nautilus and is three folders. all it is celestial and white how it is removed? me it is not never appeared before
[10:15] <ali1234> actually imo the only good plugin that isn't on by default is shelf... and i went through the whole of ccsm and tried everything about two days ago
[10:15] <DistroJockey> ajay, and the ccsm will be in System - Preferences - Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[10:16] <LSD|Ninja> ali1234: I agree, but to do any real tweaking with it you need to have it installed so it doesn't make an awful lot of sense to have it seperate - especially given that so many people come in and ask questions where it's the answer
[10:16] <mgolisch> cr0w: after login?
[10:16] <cr0w> no
[10:16] <LinuxIST> how can i blacklist the ssb module - in the initrd image?
[10:16] <cr0w> no no YES
[10:16] <cr0w> after login
[10:17] <ali1234> LinuxIST: in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist probably
[10:17] <mgolisch> cr0w: so you enter your username and password and after that it apears? while loading the desktop?
[10:17] <cr0w> mgolish yes ;)
[10:17] <TuxPWNZ> I can't move my files to Trash
[10:17] <TuxPWNZ> I can't move my files to Trash
[10:17] <TuxPWNZ> The system keeps asking me if i wanted to delete them immediately.
[10:17] <FloodBot1> TuxPWNZ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:17] <LinuxIST> ali1234, that is not what am looking for
[10:17] <mgolisch> cr0w: ok start gconf-editor and search for /apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen
[10:17] <cr0w> they are 3 times that appear to me
[10:18] <mgolisch> cr0w: change this to false, i think its a boolean value
[10:18] <cr0w> ok
[10:18] <TuxPWNZ> Sorry I flooded by mistake.
[10:18] <cr0w> reboot now ?
[10:19] <mgolisch> cr0w: logout and login again should be enough usualy
[10:19] <cr0w> ok
[10:19] <cr0w> one moment :D
[10:20] <cr0w> ook :D i have resolved
[10:20] <cr0w> ;)
[10:21] <cr0w> .but can be changed the resolution of the GDM themes?
[10:21] <zetheroo> how do I decrypt the clipboard ?
[10:21] <bidossessi_> no equivalent for kinternet in gnome?
[10:21] <TuxPWNZ> I can't move my files to Trash, the system keeps asking me if i wanted to delete them immediately.
[10:22] <LSD|Ninja> cr0w: the problem isn't the resolution of the GDM themes, it's because GDM thinks it's on a larger resolution than it actually is
[10:22] <lordleemo> bidossessi_: NetworkManager http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
[10:23] <bidossessi_> lordleemo, afaik, networkManager doesn't handle pppoe, does it?
[10:23] <cr0w> and as I make? GDM are not looked at well the themes
[10:23] <lordleemo> bidossessi_:  i dont use it i use wicd try asking in here
[10:24] <DistroJockey> TuxPWNZ, what does the following return for your Trash folder?    ls -al ~/.local/share
[10:25] <cr0w> and as I make? GDM are not looked at well the themes

[10:27] <zippert> hur kollar jag om ubuntu hittat min blåtandsenhet? ska man se den om man skrier slusb
[10:27] <zippert> lsusb
[10:27] <LSD|Ninja> cr0w: Got it. Open xorg.conf and nuke any "Virtual" sections you see in there
[10:27] <DistroJockey> TuxPWNZ, k, that looks fine
[10:28] <DistroJockey> TuxPWNZ, you using Nautilus to delete as that user right?
[10:28] <TuxPWNZ> DistroJockey: I remeber deleting the "files" folder and creating again to delete some certain files that couldn't be deleted any other way..
[10:29] <TuxPWNZ> DistroJockey: Yes but sometimes I use the root (in terminal), to delete some files that require root permissions.
[10:30] <DistroJockey> TuxPWNZ, well, everything in there should be owned by that user
[10:30] <DistroJockey> TuxPWNZ, maybe you use root/sudo a bit too much?
[10:30] <TuxPWNZ> DistroJockey: Nobody uses this machine other than me. :)
[10:31] <wols> TuxPWNZ: doesn't mean you should use that much sudo
[10:31] <TuxPWNZ> DistroJockey: Umm, I don't think so, this rarely happens to me, I've done many time though, but it always worked.
[10:32] <TuxPWNZ> done *it*
[10:32] <DistroJockey> TuxPWNZ, dig down (or maybe up) that path with   ls -al  and look for stuff not owned by you

[10:35] <LSD|Ninja> mien07_: use synaptic to remove the kernels associated with them
[10:36] <lowenheart> ellow everyone..
[10:36] <DistroJockey> mien07, backup   /boot/grub/menu.lst  then comment out (#) the titles and the commands directly below the title of the ones you wish to remove
[10:37] <DistroJockey> mien07_, see above :)
[10:37] <wols> mlhshino: each kernel makes 2 entries in that list
[10:37] <wols> if you are sure your current kernel works fine uninstall the other kernels
[10:39] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> greetings, if i need to start runlevel 3 automatically after boot, and only runlevel 2 is started, which file do i need to edit?
[10:39] <co0lingFir3> hi, i'm not able to start a oracle 10g xe server. what to do?
[10:39] <vegpuff> hi, i have a Pentium 3, 156MB Ram and 20Gig HDD box, which is old. what version of linux can i run in it?
[10:40] <LSD|Ninja> vegpuff: arch or slackware
[10:40] <wols> vegpuff: xubuntu
[10:40] <LSD|Ninja> ATA_Dark_Shadow: Debian and Ubuntu only use runlevels 1 and 2 I've been told
[10:40] <DistroJockey> co0lingFir3, does that even come with Ubuntu?
[10:40] <vegpuff> wols, LSD|Ninja thanks!
[10:40] <wols> vegpuff: not enough RAM for a good ubuntu or kubuntu experience. gnome and kde are RAM hogs
[10:40] <vegpuff> i'll check that
[10:41] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> ah i see, thanks LSD|Ninja
[10:41] <DistroJockey> co0lingFir3, ok, yes it does :)
[10:41] <wols> ATA_Dark_Shadow: inittab
[10:41] <wols> but runlevel 2-5 are the same by default
[10:41] <LSD|Ninja> I don't recall they're being an inittab last time I went looking
[10:41] <wols> oh, dunno if the special ubuntu stuff like upstart might not wreck that
[10:41] <DistroJockey> co0lingFir3, you followed this? :  http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm

I tried using the RT kernel, just to see if it would work, it doesn't, I think I would like to try a different kernel, either one from intrepid or one from gutsy, it this easy to do?
[11:13] <hosk|sleep> save it in the same place it is
[11:13] <hosk|sleep> save it as /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:14] <wols> chronographer: sure but totally unsupported
[11:14] <chronographer> sure, how do I do it? Just add intrepid repository, apt-get install linux-rt ???
[11:14] <hosk|sleep> you should be fine from here, night everybody
[11:14] <chronographer> how do I install an old kernel?
[11:15] <chronographer> night hosk
[11:15] <wols>  chronographer you donwload it and install it with dpkg
[11:15] <mien07_> hosk
[11:15] <chronographer> ok download a deb?
[11:15] <mien07_> wat part or section here i will remove?
[11:15] <wols> chronographer: and I'd use an intrepid kernel not an old one
[11:15] <chronographer> ok cool, easy, apt-get or deb?
[11:16] <wols> not apt-get
[11:16] <wols> and "deb" is meaning less. you download a deb file that's all
[11:16] <dusty> Hey guys I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my new PC, which is an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ that has 3gb ram, and ATI Technologies Inc Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3450.  WHat drivers do I need to install or what sotware etc to get the best out of my processor and graphics card?  I've installed, booted up, updated and upgraded and dist-upgraded, but i still have poor quality graphics and my monitor which is a
[11:16] <dusty> 22" samsung syncmaster 2032bw look real poor ?
[11:16] <wols> mien07_: just uninstall the kernels you don't want
[11:16] <chronographer> yeah I know... Can I get into the repos online ? can you give me a link?
[11:17] <chronographer> =)
[11:17] <wols> !fglrx | dusty
[11:17] <wols> packages.ubuntu.com
[11:17] <chronographer> ok
[11:17] <mien07_> how to uninstall it
[11:17] <mien07_> wols
[11:17] <wols> mien07_: like any other package
[11:17] <dusty> wols, do i not need a special one for the radeon hd cards ?
[11:17] <wols> dusty: I just told you
[11:18] <dusty> wols, im reading that thank you, just wondering so  i suppose fglrx covers all cards ati #?
[11:18] <wols> no
[11:18] <chronographer> I use the ati driver, it is an open source implementation

[11:18] <mien07_> i dont get it.. hosk said to me..that i will only delete the section of other os in boot grub list
[11:18] <wols> !away | comsa
[11:18] <wols> !away | CodeImp
[11:19] <wols> mien07_: he was wrong. as soon as you install another kernel they will ALL be back. ALL of them
[11:19] <dusty> If you have an ATI Radeon 9500 or newer (including thx X-series, such as x300, x1600, etc, an Xpress 200, or a Radeon HD card), then you can use the restricted fglrx drivers: BinaryDriverHowto/ATI.
[11:19] <dusty>     * Radeon HD support is currently limited, but rapidly improving.
[11:19] <dusty> wols, ^^ so i need to follow that then
[11:20] <wols> dusty: I won't repeat myself endlessly
[11:20] <dusty> your a happy chappy arn't you, well thank you for your advice.
[11:20] <chronographer> =)
[11:22] <chronographer> hey wols, is the real time kernel usually older than the others?
[11:23] <rconan> chronographer, it is at the moment, i think there are issues with realtime on recent kernels
[11:23] <chronographer> oh...
[11:23] <chronographer> server or real time for a via, to run mythtv?
[11:23] <robertp> does anyone know of an app/util which can show (via gui) a deb's files dependancy tree ? - i know about apt-cache dotty, but it's rubbish :)
[11:23] <rconan> chronographer, definitely not server
[11:23] <rconan> i would have said generic
[11:24] <chronographer> ok.
[11:24] <robertp> preferably as a hierarchy structure,
[11:24] <chronographer> gee, the intrepid rt kernel is older version number than the hardy one i have installed!
[11:24] <rconan> chronographer, what is wrong with the hardy generic kernel?
[11:25] <chronographer> it freezes up
[11:25] <chronographer> same as the rt
[11:25] <chronographer> well, i tried to fix freezes with the rt kernel
[11:25] <chronographer> now trying a newer kernel
[11:26] <rconan> what do you mean freezes? do you have to hard restart?
[11:26] <chronographer> linux-image contains all packages? or should I get linux-image-generic
[11:26] <chronographer> yes
[11:26] <chronographer> no virt terms, no kill X
[11:26] <rconan> are you sure it's to do with ubuntu and not the machine?
[11:26] <transistor_x> hi
[11:27] <chronographer> it happens when it plays movies usually, sometime soon, sometimese after some time... no i'm not sure its with Ubuntu
[11:27] <chronographer> could be overheating?
[11:27] <transistor_x> can anyone here help me to set quake 3 in ubunt hardy?
[11:27] <rconan> what via is it?
[11:27] <chronographer> 12000. nehemiah
[11:27] <rconan> the epia?
[11:27] <chronographer> yeah
[11:28] <Parallx> I just installed openssh-server in 1 computer and i can't get access, it gives me the password prompt but nothing else, where can i check whats wrong?
[11:28] <chronographer> it has the cmos (I think thats it) which the lack of causes lock pus for others.
[11:29] <transistor_x> who plays quake 3 ?
[11:29] <chronographer> cmov
[11:29] <transistor_x> in ubuntu
[11:29] <chronographer> sorry, not me
[11:29] <chronographer> rconan: any ideas on the possible cause of my lock ups?
[11:29] <Parallx> where are the logs for sshd ?
[11:30] <rconan> i would definitely run a memtest86+
[11:30] <chronographer> ok, might be ram ?
[11:30] <chronographer> I can do that from ubuntu live cd right?
[11:30] <transistor_x> i think is the RAM
[11:30] <rconan> yeah
[11:31] <rconan> sounds like a hardware fault of some form
[11:31] <chronographer> um... ok cool, I can try that... The ram is out of my desktop, been running fantastic for about 4 years!
[11:31] <transistor_x> do u over clocked the box?
[11:31] <chronographer> but I bought the rest of the comp second hand =\
[11:31] <chronographer> nope
[11:31] <rconan> transistor_x, it's an epia you'd be mad to overclock
[11:32] <chronographer> the heat sink doesn't feel hot to touch!
[11:32] <chronographer> I'll stick the live cd in and give it a test
[11:32] <rconan> how much ram is there? memtest might take a while
[11:33] <transistor_x> i had same prob. frez, restaring, it was because of the overclock, the RAM Fails
[11:33] <chronographer> 512
[11:33] <chronographer> I haven't touched the bios
[11:33] <chronographer> I could take a look though
[11:33] <torgrimt_> 512? is that like a pc with windows 98?
[11:33] <chronographer> (not that I could tell that)
[11:33] <torgrimt_> hehe
[11:34] <chronographer> its running xfce with mythtv!
[11:34] <chronographer> its fine
[11:34] <rconan> it's a mini itx motherboard
[11:34] <torgrimt_> if you disable fastboot, it will probably try to fill the memory with all zeros
[11:34] <chronographer> using 12%cpu and 217/468 ram in htop!
[11:34] <torgrimt_> or run a memtest and take a bucket of coffie
[11:34] <chronographer> with mythtv front and back going
[11:35] <rconan> did you clear the BIOS, if there are settings in there from old ram or something then it might be running too low latency or something
[11:35] <chronographer> ok, clear bios...
[11:35] <torgrimt_> reset to defaults
[11:35] <rconan> i would clear the CMOS with the jumper then run a memtest86+ just to be sure
[11:35] <Myrtti> well now, you were warned, cowo
[11:35] <Myrtti> /me takes her Hello Kitty® emp cannon, points at cowo and flips it on *BWUUUUUP*
[11:35] <Myrtti> *snif* This thing is heavy!
[11:36] <torgrimt_> bah, all mp3 players are so bloated these days
[11:36] <torgrimt_> even audicios
[11:36] <torgrimt_> time to cock some perl + mpg123 instead
[11:37] <transistor_x> hadoes anyone here plays quake 111 in ubunt hardy?
[11:38] <chronographer> i loaded fail safe defaults for bios, changes some settings in the ram bit...
[11:40] <nroot7> i am using broadband through a ADSL modem using pppoe. All the dialing is happening at the modem/router end and its in always on config. I want to do on/off from OS end. What is the solution for that.
[11:41] <siz> hi, can anyone help me? my sound isn't working lol...
[11:41] <chronographer> log into your router
[11:41] <siz> but it was before and i can't really think of anything i've done.. if i boot of the cd it still works fine
[11:42] <apinunt> Trying to get wireless to work, with no success, ubuntu 7.04 and Dell Vostro notebook. Anyone know what wlan0:avahi means?
[11:42] <chronographer> usually via http: <IP_ADDRESS>  ()
[11:42] <nroot7> chronographer: yes i can login
[11:43] <Adondai> is it worth installing xubuntu? how much faster is it?
[11:43] <Adondai> over ubuntu i mean
[11:43] <siz> i think it might have somthing to do with my laptops volume buttons... when I press them while booted off the cd I get a different looking osd volume control than in my currently broken install
[11:43] <siz> or maybe not lol
[11:45] <Kucuk> Can anyone direct me to a partition (ext3) size changing guide/tutorial.
[11:46] <chronographer> use the gparted live cd
[11:46] <nroot7> Kucuk: install gnome partition manager
[11:46] <nroot7> that is gparted
[11:49] <chronographer> ubuntu live cd boot menu thing doesn't seem to support the bloody usb keyboard... the BIOS does so what gives?
[11:49] <hyperair> how well does the fglrx driver fare with compiz fusion?
[11:50] <sri_>  i customised (the gnome ) of  your ubuntu livecd of version gutsy ... it is booting but not supporting the selected theme
[11:50] <root> hello
[11:50] <root> I am root
[11:50] <felicity> hi can someone please recommend a good vnc server for ubuntu, just to use over LAN?
[11:50] <felicity> hai root
[11:50] <root> ROOT
[11:50] <root> lol
[11:50] <Kucuk> heheh
[11:52] <pulseezar> i used gparted to format a drive and now i don't have "permission" to do anything on the drive! ho can this be resolved?
[11:53] <CyclonB> Hello
[11:53] <pimpi> ciao!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[11:53] <CyclonB> I am cyclongB
[11:53] <pulseezar> hi
[11:54] <pulseezar> i used gparted to format a drive and now i don't have "permission" to do anything on the drive! how can this be resolved?
[11:54] <chronographer> use "gksu gparted" so you have permission
[11:54] <pulseezar> is that a terminal command?
[11:55] <chronographer> or use "sudo chown user:user /path/to/drive"
[11:55] <chronographer> where user is you
[11:55] <pulseezar> ok i can probs manage that
[11:55] <soldering_x> hi, i use to have a win pc for file sharin at home, but a installed ubuntu server 8, everything is working good but i would like to know if it secure, i installed samba, and it work faster and better i think
[11:55] <DistroJockey> pulseezar, be carefull with both those commands
[11:55] <pulseezar> i'll give it a try. thanks!
[11:55] <pulseezar> i'll try...
[11:55] <veoveo> 'Morning people~
[11:56] <pulseezar> nothings gonna explode is it?
[11:56] <chronographer> nope, just make sure you don't chown important places
[11:56] <chronographer> chown means change owner, user:user is 'user=user' 'group=user' right?
[11:56] <pulseezar> is the path to your second hdd just /hdb?
[11:57] <chronographer> probably sdb
[11:57] <unohu> hi...my system crashed and now few of the files in my home directory are corrupted ...what should i do now?
[11:57] <DistroJockey> pulseezar, chronographer : best not to chown a whole drive (especially if it's a system drive)
[11:57] <pulseezar> oh yeah
[11:57] <soldering_x> mmm
[11:57] <pulseezar> it's not a system drive
[11:57] <chronographer> you can use chmod eh?
[11:57] <pulseezar> i formatted my second hdd to ext3 from ntfs but now I don't have permission to use it!
[11:58] <DistroJockey> pulseezar, best bet is to mount it with the correct umask
[11:58] <soldering_x> the thing is that i folowed intruction from a website, and i did some those thing chown
[11:58] <unohu> hi...my system crashed and now few of the files in my home directory are corrupted ...what should i do now?
[11:59] <soldering_x> but i dont really know how thats work
[11:59] <DistroJockey> pulseezar, via  /etc/fstab  if you want it permanent
[11:59] <chronographer> unoho: what is happening which is bad?
[11:59] <m0u5e> when setting compiz opacity settings, anyone been able to do it so that youtube fullscreen videos are not translucet?
[11:59] <soldering_x> :-(
[11:59] <unohu> few of my configuration files got corrupted ....
[11:59] <m0u5e> for some reason a youtube fullscreen is considered a type=DropdownMenu...
[12:00] <pulseezar> mount with correct umask?
[12:00] <chronographer> you can back them up, get rid of them, and let the program make new ones?
[12:00] <pulseezar> i can't find /etc/fstab
[12:00] <DistroJockey> pulseezar, but I'm not up on that really so can't direct (but a chown/chmod is maybe not the best way to go)
[12:00] <pulseezar> ahh ok
[12:00] <unohu> i lost firefox configurations and all my addons
[12:00] <pulseezar> chown didn't work cos it couldn't find sdb
[12:01] <pulseezar> what would the full path for your second hdd be?
[12:01] <chronographer> if you go "gedit /etc/fstab" and find the line in it which points to your hard drive
[12:01] <DistroJockey> pulseezar, sdb is the drive, not a filesystem/partition
[12:01] <pulseezar> soz I haven't got it all figured out yet!
[12:01] <pulseezar> ahh ok
[12:01] <pulseezar> that complicates things!
[12:01] <DistroJockey> pulseezar, sdb1 would be a partition
[12:01] <chronographer> paset it in pastebin http://pastebin.com/
[12:02] <pulseezar> ahh sweet
[12:02] <stmartin> hello!
[12:02] <DistroJockey> !hi | stmartin
[12:03] <soldering_x> Installing Samba
[12:03] <soldering_x> Connect to your server on the shell, or open a shell window if your Ubuntu server has a desktop installed. To become root user, execute this command:
[12:03] <soldering_x> sudo su
[12:03] <soldering_x> and enter the password of the user that you created during Ubuntu installation.
[12:03] <soldering_x> Install the Samba packages:
[12:03] <FloodBot1> soldering_x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:03] <unohu> huh ....this is worse than windows ...just one crash and i have to reinstall all my firefox addons !!!! and i lost all  my saved passwords and history :-(
[12:03] <pulseezar> aww itt doesn't exist
[12:03] <stmartin> can I ask u how can I make, to stop lighting up the diode of the Scroll Lock, when I press ALt+Shift?
[12:03] <jpds> !noroot | solid_liq
[12:03] <jpds> soldering_x: ^
[12:03] <jpds> solid_liq: Sorry, wrong tab.
[12:03] <CyclonB> I can't see Trash on 8.04, I moved some files in Trash, but I can't find Trash anywhere, help me!!!!
[12:04] <pulseezar> oh wait
[12:04] <soldering_x> sorry i did this
[12:04] <DistroJockey> pulseezar,  sudo fdisk -l    will list all drives and partitions
[12:04] <blairy> hello
[12:04] <stmartin> some help, please?
[12:04] <CyclonB> Welcome
[12:04] <CyclonB> I can't see Trash on 8.04, I moved some files in Trash, but I can't find Trash anywhere, help me!!!!
[12:04] <DistroJockey> !ask | stmartin
[12:05] <stmartin> ok
[12:05] <legend2440> !trash | CyclonB
[12:05] <CyclonB> what legend2440?
[12:05] <stmartin> When I press Alt+Shift, my Scroll Lock diode lights up. How to disable this?
[12:05] <CyclonB> I don't see trash ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!
[12:05] <unohu> can somebody help me recover my firefox profile......i am new to ubuntu
[12:05] <stmartin> unohu this is not firefox support
[12:05] <stmartin> ask google
[12:05] <chronographer> you can add an icon to your desktop with gconf
[12:06] <blairy> no matter what I do I cant seem to get my system loaded with ubuntu correctly, the updates never seem to be loaded without errors
[12:06] <legend2440> CyclonB: its in /home/<yourusername/.local
[12:06] <CyclonB> ok
[12:06] <DistroJockey> stmartin, did you ask google?
[12:06] <stmartin> yes
[12:06] <geirha> CyclonB: by default it's on the bottom panel, to the far right. If you have accidentally removed it, right click one of the panels, and choose add to panel, then add the trash icon again
[12:06] <stmartin> and unfortunately he didn't help me
[12:06] <Adantan_Alex> hi
[12:06] <stmartin> that's why I am here
[12:06] <unohu> stmartin: but ubuntu crashed and i lost all my configuration...thats why im asking here
[12:06] <pulseezar> ok so the partition on my second hard disk is sdb1, so would this command be correct: sudo chown me:me /dev/sdb1?
[12:06] <zaapiel> is ubuntu the most popular linux distro now?
[12:07] <zaapiel> as far as those things can be recorded
[12:07] <DistroJockey> stmartin, sounds like a keyboard config issue to me (maybe language preference?)
[12:07] <Adantan_Alex> i installed ubuntu while i was running windows
[12:07] <CyclonB> Will Delete from trash, move item back on it's previous place or will it delete it from HD?!?!?!
[12:07] <Adantan_Alex> pretty good
[12:07] <chronographer> unohu: I have firefox configuration settings left over from my first debian instal, ubuntu crashing never broke any of those!
[12:07] <blairy> no matter what I do I cant seem to get my system loaded with ubuntu correctly, the updates never seem to be loaded without errors
[12:07] <geirha> CyclonB: it will remove it from the harddrive
[12:07] <Adantan_Alex> if i un installed ubuntu would that delete the partition? i in stalled it while i was running windows
[12:07] <legend2440> CyclonB: it will delete it from HD
[12:07] <soldering_x> is it a bad configuration ?
[12:08] <unohu> chronographer: then may be ubuntu is not for everyone..... :-(
[12:08] <chronographer> pulseezar: a better way is to set it up in fstab properly. Post your /etc/fstab to pastebin
[12:08] <DistroJockey> blairy, sounds to me like you need better sources/mirror
[12:08] <pulseezar> so when i type the command and hit enter, what should happen next?
[12:08] <pulseezar> ok
[12:08] <CyclonB> I faked up my google earth somehow, DAMN!!!!!!!!!!
[12:08] <RemsSs> 3 blind mice
[12:08] <Adantan_Alex> if i un installed ubuntu would that delete the partition? i in stalled it while i was running windows
[12:08] <chronographer> unohu: have you got your settings in windows still? you can move them over again
[12:08] <blairy> sources/mirror?
[12:08] <chronographer> yep adantan, you're screwed =)
[12:08] <chronographer> =D
[12:09] <fde> Adantan_Alex: via Wubi?
[12:09] <DistroJockey> blairy, yeah, where you get your packages from
[12:09] <Adantan_Alex> .... i got a 15 gigabyte partition
[12:09] <blairy> I got the CD from the website
[12:09] <Adantan_Alex> would that delete the partition and give the 15 gigabytes to windows? soz for the enter
[12:10] <fde> Adantan_Alex: Did you use Wubi or the regular installer?
[12:10] <naz> a fresh install of ubuntu looks nice on my monitor, but when i install the nvidia binary drivers, the screen fonts are changed, and they look pretty nasty... they're all bold and larger than necessary and the sizes are all mismatched
[12:10] <Adantan_Alex> ah i put the disc in
[12:10] <thinman1189> I'm having some trouble with flash in firefox. I'm running 8.04 64bit on intel dual. sometimes flash stuff won't load, like youtube, and sometimes it will take a while before it loads. slacker.com loads the initial screen but then won't play, and clicking on other stations brings up their info but doesn't even load the playlist.
[12:10] <Adantan_Alex> and it loaded up i picked install on windows
[12:10] <fde> Adantan_Alex: Ok... then it'll likely return the space back to Windows
[12:10] <Adantan_Alex> phew
[12:10] <Adantan_Alex> :P ty
[12:11] <fde> Adantan_Alex: Does it show up in your Add/Remove Programs list on Windows?
[12:11] <Adantan_Alex> sec
[12:11] <Adantan_Alex> :)
[12:11] <chronographer> jk...lol
[12:11] <pulseezar> chronographer: http://pastebin.com/d558a955aa
[12:11] <blairy> DistroJockey?
[12:11] <DistroJockey> blairy, yep
[12:11] <Adantan_Alex> yes it does it saying its 15 gigabytes lol
[12:11] <Adantan_Alex> its*
[12:12] <m1r> hi
[12:12] <Adantan_Alex> it*
[12:12] <blairy> I said I got a CD from the website
[12:12] <CyclonB> Now now now, I have 1 Terabyte HD on my laptop, how to run .bin files btw?
[12:12] <fde> Adantan_Alex: Then yeah... just remove it from there, it's just a virtual disk...
[12:12] <chronographer> pulse, copy and paste it in, that one was empty
[12:12] <Adantan_Alex> few ty
[12:13] <DistroJockey> blairy, they don't include updates. And if you are directing something at me, tis best to prefix it with my name
[12:13] <pulseezar> really? i shall try again?
[12:13] <chronographer> CyclonB:  i think you can run them from terminal
[12:13] <blairy> oh ok
[12:13] <blairy> DistroJockey I ran updates and they didnt run good
[12:13] <Adantan_Alex> o0
[12:13] <Adantan_Alex> ubuntu owns all
[12:13] <chronographer> pulseezar: uyeah.  go "alt F2" then type "gedit /etc/fstab" then copy paste that it
[12:13] <DistroJockey> blairy, I am suggesting that your apt sources may not be the most reliable
[12:13] <chronographer> *in
[12:14] <blairy> distroJockey, "apt" sources?
[12:14] <Adantan_Alex> and windows owns all but linux and windows have there up sides
[12:14] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[12:14] <DistroJockey> blairy, but we would need an error message
[12:14] <pulseezar> kk
[12:15] <Zburatorul> hi all
[12:15] <inhortte> Does anyone have experience with getting an (old) sony vaio (pcg fx220 to be specific) screen to run 1024x768?
[12:15] <DistroJockey> blairy, please pastebin it if it's more than 1 line
[12:15] <pulseezar> http://pastebin.com/d7c459386
[12:15] <inhortte> using ubuntu 7.10
[12:15] <pulseezar> i dunno why it didn't work before
[12:15] <blairy> well Im confused now so I will have to deal with this later
[12:16] <soldering_x> does anyone know where can i get more info about ubuntu server?
[12:16] <blairy> goodbye
[12:16] <DistroJockey> blairy, ok. Sorry :(
[12:16] <blairy> quit
[12:16] <chronographer> can you check that link and tell me if its all there?
[12:16] <Pici> soldering_x: What sort of info are you looking for?
[12:17] <pulseezar> yeah that looks right
[12:17] <pulseezar> NOOOOOOOO
[12:17] <chronographer> ?
[12:17] <pulseezar> Weston-super-mare's grand pier has burned down!
[12:18] <pulseezar> MY GRAN WILL BE DEVASTATED
[12:18] <pulseezar> anyway
[12:18] <VeryBigNude> hi, I'm runing ubuntu 8.04 server but something happend and I cant resolve urls from it anymore, any ideas how to solve this?
[12:18] <soldering_x> i am new to linux, i used windows for a long time, so i need anything that i can use to secure my home server, i dont know if there is a firewall for ubuntu
[12:18] <Pici> pulseezar: I know its not really busy here right now, but can we keep the random chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic and leave this place for support.
[12:18] <pulseezar> aye sozlike
[12:19] <naz> VeryBigNude are you using dhcp? can you ping IPs?
[12:19] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: what happens when you do a command such as: dig www.google.com
[12:19] <VeryBigNude> I can ping and wget with ip but not url
[12:19] <chronographer> ok so you are sure that your hard drive is sdb1 ??
[12:19] <naz> soldering_x if you're only after a firewall, then ipcop is the distribution you're after
[12:19] <Pici> soldering_x: Ubuntu has firewall capabilited built in, which can either be managed by the cli utility iptables or by installing a graphical firewall manager like Firestarter
[12:19] <naz> VeryBigNude cat resolv.conf to see if you're using the right dns server
[12:20] <pulseezar> not totally sure
[12:20] <pulseezar> but only cos I've never done this before
[12:20] <VeryBigNude> when I runned dig then it worked
[12:20] <chronographer> type sudo fdisk -l
[12:20] <naz> VeryBigNude in a terminal type      cat /etc/resolv.conf
[12:20] <VeryBigNude> but apt-get cant' resolve ursl, or wget
[12:20] <pulseezar> yeah did that
[12:20] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: so it gave you an IP address (or probably a few of them) for google?
[12:20] <chronographer> it giave one called sdb1 ??
[12:20] <DistroJockey> !firewall | See that, but you are pretty safe by default (ufw may also be worth a look at) | soldering_x
[12:20] <pulseezar> thats why i'm pretty sure!
[12:20] <chronographer> /dev/sdb1 /media/STORAGE  ext3    defaults        0       2
[12:21] <chronographer> add that to your fstab at the bottom
[12:21] <soldering_x> so ubuntu server does not have a firewall by default?,
[12:21] <Ghufran> hi there
[12:21] <chronographer> with /media/STORAGE replaced with where you want it mounted
[12:21] <Pici> soldering_x: Yes, it does. Its called iptables.
[12:21] <Ghufran> i need some info
[12:21] <pulseezar> i don't have the permissions to save the file :(
[12:22] <inhortte> does anyone know if there is a way to recongigure your X/gnome setup after install? ie, a gui of sorts? i am new here, by the way...
[12:22] <koshari> VeryBigNude sounds likeoyur dns server
[12:22] <Ghufran> anyone knows about support for penryn processors in the new kernel?
[12:22] <AljosHa> Anyone here have openvpn server?
[12:22] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: hang on a min...
[12:22] <VeryBigNude> pajamanian I  have serach XPL.net and some nameserver
[12:22] <chronographer> ok... type "alt F2" again, then put in "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" this gives you 'root' permissions
[12:22] <lolcat> hey i am noob cake
[12:22] <lolcat> someone please help me out someone
[12:22] <lolcat> with good knowledge
[12:22] <lolcat> :)
[12:22] <ikonia> lolcat: ask the question
[12:22] <Guest86488> please
[12:23] <ikonia> Guest86488: ask the question
[12:23] <soldering_x> mm, does iptables do the work automaticllay, or i have to do some work there?
[12:23] <Guest86488> I installed ubuntu(lol i am from south africa btw) and xp one one pc
[12:23] <ikonia> soldering_x: you have to configure it
[12:23] <Guest86488> on* one pc
[12:23] <DistroJockey> inhortte, what needs reconfiguring?
[12:23] <Guest86488> but ubuntu on my one hdd and xp on the other
[12:23] <Pici> soldering_x: There are no 'services' listening by default, and the iptables rules allow all ports by default

[12:24] <ikonia> Guest86488: XP cannot see linux file systems without a 3rd party and potenttially dodgy driver
[12:24] <Ghufran> does anyone know whether cpufreq scaling is now working with penryn processors?

[12:24] <skeel> i have a software raid array setup in raid 0 on a debian system. the system was running off of a disk that just crashed, but the raid array-disks are not affected. Can I just move the raid-disks to another system and set it up with mdadm without losing all the data?
[12:24] <inhortte> distro -> and the driver seems ok.
[12:24] <ikonia> skeel: join #debian
[12:24] <Guest86488> my internet doesn't work on ubuntu and it only works on xp after repair:/
[12:24] <m1r> ikonia: hello
[12:24] <ikonia> m1r: hello
[12:25] <pulseezar> chronographer: so if I just wanted the whole drive to mount would I just stick /dev/sdb1  ext3    defaults        0       2 into fstab?
[12:25] <DistroJockey> inhortte, seen many people ask that, but I have not helped/looked into it
[12:25] <Guest86488> how do i fix hdd error?

[12:26] <FloodBot1> Guest86488: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:26] <ikonia> Guest86488: hence why it's running - if you couldn't see it it wouldn't run

[12:27] <chronographer> guest, try the ext3 on XP program...
[12:27] <ikonia> mien07: the ubuntu repos, open your package manager
[12:27] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: look at the file /etc/host.conf
[12:27] <mien07> and then?

[12:29] <Ghufran> no one here has a penryn and ubuntu....
[12:29] <m1r> ToLuC: ubuntu-fr
[12:29] <mien07> and then wat will i do?
[12:30] <ikonia> mien07: install the package flashplugin-nonfree
[12:30] <eshat> HI ALL, is there a way to install openoffice 2.4.1 to feisty, since there is only 2.2 in repositories.
[12:30] <DistroJockey> mien07, sorry, my last statement was because I though you had installed  flashplugin-nonfree
[12:30] <mien07> ok i see..

[12:30] <mien07> the beryl here at hardy not the compiz
[12:31] <mien07> wat will i do?
[12:31] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: ok, well, try to dig the domain name that you are having problems with in wget or apt-get instead of just www.google.com
[12:31] <Pici> mien07: Beryl is obsolete.
[12:31] <ikonia> mien07: you don't want to do that
[12:31] <chronographer> beryl is old, compiz-fusion is new
[12:31] <blogi> how can i remove eGroupWare? it keeps poping up :(
[12:31] <mien07> y?
[12:31] <Pici> !beryl | mien07
[12:31] <chronographer> !compiz
[12:31] <DistroJockey> how do we get those nice Beryl themes though?
[12:31] <Guest86488> and my card is a sis based card
[12:31] <chronographer> you have them,
[12:31] <mien07> i see
[12:31] <chronographer> !emerald
[12:31] <Guest86488> SiS 900
[12:31] <ikonia> DistroJockey: speak to the guys who make them to port them
[12:31] <chronographer> google emerald for compiz
[12:32] <chronographer> or apt-get install emerald
[12:32] <DistroJockey> ikonia, fair enough
[12:32] <eshat> are there any backports with openoffice 2.4?
[12:32] <Guest86488> lol ikonia u from za?
[12:32] <ikonia> eshat: not that can see
[12:32] <ikonia> Guest86488: no
[12:32] <DistroJockey> chronographer, that won't get themes though
[12:32] <chronographer> emeralt-themes ??
[12:32] <Guest86488> oh lol you know what ikonia means right?
[12:32] <VeryBigNude> pajamian : then doing so I don't get any ip back
[12:32] <DistroJockey> chronographer, nope
[12:32] <mien07> ahh
[12:32] <ikonia> Guest86488: it's my name - thats what it means
[12:32] <mien07> ok..
[12:32] <Guest86488> it means something in xhosa lol
[12:33] <ForsakenSoul> hey guys I'm having a vlc problem which I can't seem to understand, it gives me unknown format for avi and wmv although it plays mp4 ... it isn't from the file because I start the files with other players without any problems
[12:33] <ikonia> Guest86488: well, lets not discuss that
[12:33] <chronographer> hmm... I have a nicve emerald theme... it must come with some?
[12:33] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: ok, what's one of the domain name's you're having problems with?
[12:33] <Ghufran> can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of installing 64bit version of ubuntu on my 64 bit machine
[12:33] <mien07> so i better use compiz than beryl/
[12:33] <mien07> ?
[12:33] <chronographer> yep
[12:33] <Viper111> guys i installed wzdftpd as my ftp server but i am not able to configure maybe am not being able to understand
[12:33] <mien07> how bout emerald?
[12:33] <ikonia> Ghufran: how much ram do you have
[12:33] <Guest86488> lol sorry. about my network? where can i check?
[12:33] <Viper111> any body can offer help
[12:33] <Ghufran> 2gb
[12:33] <ikonia> Guest86488: check what ?
[12:33] <Guest86488> its a SiS-900 Network adapter
[12:33] <VeryBigNude> *.ubuntu.com
[12:33] <VeryBigNude> webmin
[12:33] <ikonia> Ghufran: you've not really got a real reason to use 64bit then
[12:33] <zxxd> does anyone know the kernel  bootsplash patch ? it works fine but i wont to block the ability of users from seeing the kernel output when pressing "ESC" key, it removes the splash image and reveals the kernel bootstrap information
[12:33] <Guest86488> i dunno O.o ? Like help with the netowrk problem
[12:33] <eshat> Viper111: don't ask for help, just ask zour question
[12:34] <VeryBigNude> and probably all other,
[12:34] <Viper111> eshat am not being able to configure
[12:34] <Guest86488> i am new to ubuntu and i must seem like such a noob XD
[12:34] <ikonia> Guest86488: you need to log into your machine for me, do "ifconfig -a" and see if you can see an "eth0" device
[12:34] <ForsakenSoul> hey guys I'm having a vlc problem which I can't seem to understand, it gives me unknown format for avi and wmv although it plays mp4 ... it isn't from the file because I start the files with other players without any problems
[12:34] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: so what is one specific one?
[12:34] <Viper111> eshat i need help with creating users
[12:34] <Ghufran> ikonia: why? .. the only reason to get 64bit version would be to get memory addressing to work?
[12:34] <Guest86488> where do i type ipconfig-a ? in termnial thing?
[12:34] <chronographer> lol
[12:34] <mien07> guys
[12:35] <soldering_x> thank you all for ur help, i got the link, and i wnat to learn more about linux ubuntu, i habe been in windows since win 95, til win xp, but i have never tried avery stable os like this ubuntu linux. and now i almost forget waht is a crash or a virus :) thanks
[12:35] <DistroJockey> Ghufran, what's your reason for wanting it?
[12:35] <mien07> can i run the xampp here in linux?
[12:35] <ForsakenSoul> Guest86488: it's ifconfig and you type it in the terminal
[12:35] <Guest86488> okay brb
[12:35] <mien07> how can i run the xampp here
[12:35] <Guest86488> and is there a way to access this channel without using mirc?
[12:35] <Guest86488> like web irc?
[12:35] <Ghufran> i dont have any.. infact i have removed ubuntu for now
[12:35] <Pici> !lamp > mien07
[12:35] <Viper111>  i need help with creating users  with wzdftpd
[12:36] <ForsakenSoul> I'm having problems playing avi and wmv format on vlc it gives me uknown format problem
[12:36] <pajamian> Ghufran: you get somewhat better performance with 64 bit, but if you're running a desktop you will have difficulty with things such as flash, java, and 32 bit video codecs, etc.
[12:36] <Ghufran> because as far as i know it doesnt support my processor yet
[12:36] <Pici> mien07: Use the method that the bot advises, and not a third party installer.
[12:36] <ForsakenSoul> doesn anyone have any ideas how I can fix it
[12:36] <Guest86488> brb
[12:36] <DistroJockey> Ghufran, well, I stick with 32bit as there is more support/less hassles
[12:36] <chronographer> ForsakenSoul: delete vlc's config folder ???
[12:36] <mien07> ok
[12:36] <mien07> thanks
[12:36] <VeryBigNude> pajamian : security.ubuntu.com
[12:37] <ForsakenSoul> chronographer: ok .. 1 where is it and second would it be deleted if I did a complete removal of the packade from synaptic ?
[12:37] <wols> Ghufran: what cpu do you have?
[12:37] <riz0n> i am using apache on ubuntu to host web sites off of my PC. for whatever reason when i put a new file on the site i have to change its permissions in order for it to work without displaying 403 in client browser. is there a tag i can add to my apache conf file that will eliminate having to chmod every file i upload to the server? thanks.
[12:37] <Ghufran> yes ive stuck with that too for now..
[12:37] <Ghufran> DistroJockey i have T9300 penryn processor
[12:37] <wols> Ghufran: of course it's supported
[12:38] <Ghufran> which really really drains the battery
[12:38] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: try changing your DNS servers, then.  You can use opendns if you need.  Chances are, though, that it's a temporary problem with you're ISPs DNS servers and it will clear up by tomorrow.
[12:38] <Pici> ForsakenSoul: User configurations (those in ~/) are not deleted if you purge a package.
[12:38] <Ghufran> wols: with cpufrequency scaling?
[12:38] <ForsakenSoul> Pici:  ok thanks
[12:38] <DistroJockey> Ghufran, I use a few different ones, but not that one (but I'd still stick with 32bit for now)
[12:38] <CyclonB> Guys, how to remove this java problem, I get this message everytime when I used apt-get, it is really annoying, thanks http://rifers.org/paste/show/7775

[12:39] <pajamian> VeryBigNude: You're welcome
[12:39] <CyclonB> Guys, how to remove this java problem, I get this message everytime when I used apt-get, it is really annoying, thanks http://rifers.org/paste/show/7775
[12:39] <wols> Ghufran: between any recent CPU
[12:39] <wols> Speedstep was not changed
[12:39] <Ghufran> DistroJockey: i had an amd earlier and cpu scaling didnt work on that either
[12:40] <Pici> Viper111: Seems that no one here is knowledgeable with that ftpd.  You'll find better help in #wzdftpd
[12:40] <DistroJockey> Ghufran, sorry, not familiar with scaling (I run flatout)
[12:40] <CyclonB> Can someone help me please!?!??!?!
[12:40] <CyclonB> I have problem with apt-get
[12:40] <CyclonB> http://rifers.org/paste/show/7775

[12:41] <CyclonB> I followed them, and installed that docs
[12:41] <pajamian> CyclonB: either follow the directions and download the docs or remove the package.
[12:41] <CyclonB> and that shit keep popping after that
[12:41] <VeryBigNude> pajamian : thanks again! changet to opendns and now it works fine1

[12:50] <davyde> hi everybody =)
[12:51] <davyde> There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
[12:51] <davyde> Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
[12:51] <davyde> The last error message was:
[12:51] <davyde> Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[12:51] <davyde> GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
[12:51] <FloodBot1> davyde: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:51] <Phantomas> anyone help me?

[12:51] <davyde> anyone know how to solve this problem?
[12:51] <DistroJockey> stmartin, if it works, then maybe that directory you mentioned or another gnome related one in your profile needs fixing
