[03:36] <dyrne> dbrewer_rjr: does your route have an option for setting a dmz server?
[03:37] <soundray> ubuntu_: is this an Intel Mac?

[03:38] <bimberi> tatters: ~/.Trash
[03:38] <dbrewer_rjr> dyrne: yes, it has dmz host function. what is that?
[03:38] <johns^> tatters: and if you put another file in Trash and try emptying then?
[03:39] <fruitflute> Acs: Ubuntu won't erase the Windows partition unless you specifically tell it to.
[03:39] <fourcheeze> where are the gimp freefonts and sharefonts in ubuntu?
[03:39] <WaxyFresh> soundray: http://pastebin.ca/502303 i didint see the file in the output of apt-get
[03:39] <ramtheus> 2nd question: I can no longer download win32 codecs on ubuntu 6.06 LTS , any way to do this?
[03:39] <hammer> hello all installed ubuntu feisty yesterday and I am quite pleased with it......its is running on a Toshiba M55 laptop ...At the moment I have connected an external monitor which is using the same resolution settings as the laptop screen. I have only one problem with this because the refresh rate on my external monitor is only 60Hz which I would like to increase as it is not easy for the eyes. Does someone have a suggestion on how to inc
[03:39] <hammer> rease the refresh rate on the external monitor whilst keeping the refresh rate on the laptop screen at 60Hz
[03:39] <dbrewer_rjr> dyrne: is that wide open access?
[03:39] <Acs> fruitflute great
[03:39] <Acs> :)
[03:40] <tatters> johns^: if I add another file to trash and delete it dissapears although the error message still pops up
[03:40] <soundray> WaxyFresh: it says pre-removal, so it must be /var/lib/dpkg/info/tor.prerm
[03:41] <soundray> ubuntu_: is there an operating system on the first partition?
[03:41] <ramtheus> Ok guys, thanks, I'm not laike a newbie or something, I migrated  from Gentoo and SPM is kind'a a solution but it sometimes does not do what it's suppose to do. Thanks anyway
[03:41] <WaxyFresh> soundray: any idea on how to fix those locale errors?
[03:42] <johns^> tatters: and if you do '/home/test/.local/share/Trash/files/VMware-server-installer-1_1.0.1-29996.exe'
[03:42] <johns^> and then empty
[03:42] <johns^> ah a touch in front of that
[03:42] <johns^> touch /home/test/.local/share/Trash/files/VMware-server-installer-1_1.0.1-29996.exe
[03:42] <soundray> WaxyFresh: not really. I'd just ignore them
[03:43] <tatters> johns^: thnx m8 that stopped error message when emptying,
[03:43] <Pelo> having read my boot log as part of the trouble shoot process of my little problem, I am given to wonder if I can disable the wifi search thingu
[03:44] <dimon08>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY gfhjkm
[03:44] <johns^> tatters: great :)
[03:44] <soundray> Pelo: do you mean NetworkManager?
[03:44] <CheshireViking> dimon08, time for a password change :)
[03:45] <dyrne> Pelo: ls /etc/init.d/   there are a few things there you prob dont need
[03:45] <johns^> dimebar: nice password :)
[03:45] <Pelo> phone
[03:45] <johns^> i mean dimon08
[03:45] <CarlFK> does the live CD install and the 'alternate install (text based installer)' leave you with the same things installed ?
[03:45] <taometaway> I have been having some seriuosly bad problems with sessions, do you guys recomend to check the "save sessions automatically box"?
[03:45] <Pici> CarlFK: Yes.
[03:45] <johns^> taometaway: no
[03:45] <CarlFK> Pici thanks.
[03:45] <Cryption> Anyone here have experience installing mongrel rails on Ubuntu?
[03:45] <Cryption> If so please private msg me
[03:45] <dimebar> johns^: made me to :o then lol
[03:46] <taometaway> OK johns^.... so... just don't even worry about saving sessions ever?
[03:46] <Pelo> thank dyrne ,  soundray  I'm not sure I just saw a few lines in the boot log that said the system did not find  any wifi devices  wasn'T paying all that much attention I was lookign for something else  but if I can shorten the boot time that would be great
[03:46] <johns^> taometaway: I don't.
[03:46] <tatters> johns^: So I guess I should go look what "touch" does, but how did it work? how did you know Y it might work?
[03:46] <johns^> Pelo: that are the biggest problems most of the time
[03:46] <soundray> Pelo: that's a recipe for disaster ;)
[03:47] <johns^> tatters: touch 'touches' a file. creates it if it isn't there and update things like dates if it *is* there
[03:47] <simplyviven> hi
[03:47] <taometaway> johns^ - thanks, My system has been acting so screwy with sessions, I'll just stop saving them, thanks. :)
[03:48] <BaBL> what about alsaconf in feisty? it doesn't present in alsa-utils
[03:48] <johns^> taometaway: I always hated it when things start up automatically. Especially desktop stuf
[03:48] <MetaBookfoziS> soundray > is you here?
[03:48] <johns^> +f
[03:48] <MetaBookfoziS> What app you use toc onnect wifi networks?
[03:49] <taometaway> johns^, yeah, I keep a little row of things to start up, and I do them one at a time.
[03:49] <soundray> MetaBookfoziS: no app. Just configure it via System-Administration-Network (disable roaming and set up DHCP)
[03:49] <johns^> taometaway: things 'you can't live without' can be added manually to your sessions in that same config thingy
[03:49] <MetaBookfoziS> soundray > that is an application, or a way in gnome settings?
[03:49] <smacky> gm how do i fix this  `apt-get -f install'
[03:49] <magicrobotmonkey> does anyone use jedit?
[03:50] <soundray> MetaBookfoziS: oh, you're in kubuntu... sec
[03:50] <MetaBookfoziS> i have something like this
[03:50] <taometaway> johns^ OK... thanks a lot.
[03:50] <Ares|Work> in kubuntu how do you switch to dbl-click to run instead of single-clicking?
[03:50] <MetaBookfoziS> but i thought that is a different program
[03:50] <MetaBookfoziS> Ares|Work > kcontrol->peripherials->mouse
[03:51] <smacky> gm how do i fix this  `apt-get -f install'
[03:51] <johns^> smacky: what's there to fix?
[03:52] <smacky>  `apt-get -f install'
[03:52] <smacky>  that
[03:52] <soundray> MetaBookfoziS: add these lines to your /etc/network/interfaces: "iface ra0 inet dhcp", "wireless-essid youressid" and "auto ra0"
[03:52] <johns^> seems good. Nice fonts, solid command.
[03:52] <carbanm> alright, so i have lm-sensors installed, and have just confirmed that i do have power over my fans(using pwmconfig) how how do i set my fans to not sound like an airplane taking off?
[03:52] <soundray> MetaBookfoziS: replace ra0 with your real interface name and youressid with your ESSID ;)
[03:52] <johns^> smacky: I don't understand what you're asking.
[03:53] <SolidAsArocK> c na rien donner le reboot pour acceder a synaptique :(
[03:53] <johns^> !fr
[03:53] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:53] <SolidAsArocK> looo
[03:53] <SolidAsArocK> right sorry
[03:53] <SolidAsArocK> ;)
[03:53] <carbanm> or is there a way/
[03:53] <johns^> :)
[03:53] <MetaBookfoziS> soundray >  thx, i trying
[03:53] <Bluhd> ...Is Ubuntu going to warn me every time I restart my computer that I'm using restricted drivers?
[03:53] <johns^> Bluhd: no
[03:53] <johns^> I saw it once
[03:53] <Bluhd> johns^: good :D
[03:54] <CheshireViking> Bluhd, once for me as well
[03:54] <rambo3> Bluhd, warn you where ?
[03:54] <Bluhd> rambo3: I used nvidia-glx-config enable and it warned me that I was using proprietary drivers
[03:54] <Enverex> Bluhd, Ignore it
[03:55] <soundray> MetaBookfoziS: when you're ready, do a 'sudo ifup ra0'
[03:55] <carbanm> anyone have any advice for this fan control issue?
[03:55] <carbanm> i can view the sensor info no problem, but getting it set just seems out of my reach
[03:55] <rambo3> could feity be most stable ubuntu ever, only 2 uppdates
[03:55] <carbanm> unless, after running pwmconfig would i have to reboot?
[03:56] <David_28> hello
[03:56] <johns^> rambo3: feisty rock's. Like it as much as I did like dapper :)
[03:56] <CheshireViking> rambo3, only 3 updates? i've had about 10-15 updates, but suppose it depends which additional app's are installed
[03:56] <tatters> if I need to post a screenshot of a problem what is best place to do this?
[03:56] <CheshireViking> rambo3, should say 2 updates
[03:57] <soundray> tatters: probably ubuntuforums
[03:57] <NekoKun> Guys... I have a windows and a linux box. I need to transfer files between them the fastest way possible, in a way that both access the files, what you suggest? We're using samba, but it is too slow...
[03:58] <carbanm> flash drive.
[03:58] <tatters> soundray:  there is no pastebin type feature for screenshots?
[03:58] <carbanm> just kidding ,shared folder on the windows computer, as long as it's not vista.
[03:58] <rambo3> Do you own a star trek transporter ?
[03:58] <soundray> NekoKun: probably netcat. It's available for Windows as part of cygwin
[03:59] <soundray> tatters: I think there are image bins, but I don't have an address. Have you stfw?
[03:59] <tatters> stfw?
[03:59] <soundray> tatters: searched the fine web
[04:00] <tatters> ah I C of course
[04:00] <gordonjcp> NekoKun: removable USB2 drive?
[04:00] <carbanm> anyone on my issue?
[04:01] <carbanm> fan control problem, confirmed pwm can do it, just don't know how.
[04:01] <NekoKun> gordonjcp: I can't have a human on the process.. and they are in a lan
[04:01] <soundray> carbanm: people will respond if they know. Try asking again, but leave longer intervals.
[04:01] <carbanm> alright, thanks soundray
[04:01] <gordonjcp> NekoKun: possibly rsync over ssh, or scp then
[04:01] <NekoKun> mmm
[04:02] <MetaBookfoziS> soundray > i actually get "Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :" it's not problem i'm under googling or this, but that is not problem if in the iwlist, ra0 thinks she's SSID is something else than my wanted network?
[04:02] <newpZ> hi there, i have 2 wireless pcmcia card, both card when doing a ton of work (azuerus or scp over the network) drop off the network and will not go back on without a reboot.. i dont see anything in dmesg or anywherre else when it happens..i even switche kernes to i386 from smp
[04:02] <MetaBookfoziS> i have edited the driver's config
[04:02] <soundray> MetaBookfoziS: sorry, I'm not familiar with that error
[04:03] <minerale> newpz: it could also be the wireless router, mine can not handle a large load and requires a restart from time to time
[04:03] <rambo3> MetaBookfoziS, try iwconfig essid
[04:03] <DaveTarmac> WEP Networking on a fresh Feisty install. I can see the network,connect to it but I do not get assigned an IP by DHCP, nor does static IP work for giving me access to the internet.
[04:03] <AngryElf_> how do I install JRE 1.5+?
[04:03] <newpZ> mindframe_, i have a another lappy exact with breezy on it... it handles it fine :P)
[04:03] <itsikarg> hi - anyone knows a good howto on connecting to internet through a wirelss router?
[04:03] <minerale> newpz: try setting limit on azureus so that it only runs at about 25% capacity
[04:03] <newpZ> its smething with fawn
[04:04] <itsikarg> anyone has any experience with connecting through a wireless router?
[04:04] <Pelo> soundray,   the budjet can't handle it right now or I would have , and local availabilily is also a factor
[04:04] <rambo3> itsikarg, yeah what
[04:04] <soundray> Pelo: hope it's Rockbox-compatible, then
[04:05] <Pelo> soundray, just a basic 2 gig rca model , just audio
[04:05] <digital_k> hello all:)
[04:05] <Neil-> does ubuntu-studio have anything missing compared to ubuntu?
[04:05] <Neil-> or just extra stuff
[04:05] <itsikarg> rambo3, i never used wireless ,even on windows,i got the drivers set, tomorrow im going to connect thru a wirelss router, what should i prepare?
[04:06] <digital_k> im having an issue with fonts in openoffice, particuarly the dropdown menu fonts, they are truncated. I havent changed anything that i know of,any fix for it?
[04:06] <slim> hello all, i'm having a problem with "archive manager" I'm trying to uncompress a .rar file and it says that it cannot open it, why is that?
[04:06] <lbawinowns> Im srry if this is really is about Kubuntu,  but I think it's the exact for Ubuntu, when I want to download a iso wit Kubuntu feisty, what is difference between "desktop" and "alternate" version?
[04:06] <rational> Hello all...!
[04:06] <Pelo> soundray, I 've been buying  mp3 players with the same cash for a year,  I keep returning for refund befor the warranty expires because of bad  earphone or other things like that,  I liked my last one but the flash was defective
[04:06] <itsikarg> rambo3, i mean do i just choose 'wirelss' in the network options and thats it?
[04:07] <jhaig> lbawinowns: The desktop version boots into a live CD, while the alternate version installs with a text based interface.
[04:07] <rational> I have been trying all night to download 7.04 fiesty and can only get 678MB of 697MB before it stalls...and I have tried 3 different computers....any ideas??
[04:07] <lbawinowns> jhaig, as i suspected, thanks :)
[04:08] <CarlFK> in X, open a shell, run a script that does "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" - that will close the shell, which will kill the script, so the next line wont run, right?
[04:08] <jhaig> lbawinowns: That is, the alternate version uses a text based interface to install, but it can install Ubuntu in the same way as the Desktop version.
[04:08] <slim> rational: dowload the torrent
[04:08] <lbawinowns> jhaig, but desktop is cooler right?
[04:08] <Pelo> soundray,  the nice thing is with prices dropping, advances in tech, and new models comming in, I've been able to upgrade everytime for basicaly the same amount of money,  I got stated with a 512 meg and now I'm gonna have a 2 gig one
[04:08] <Peaker> Hi. I want to build libsdl1.2 with debug symbols. I used "apt-get source", what should I change to make it build with debug?
[04:08] <rambo3> itsikarg, you have a manual for your router . first login(http://192.1.0.X ) to router and setup some security . then connect to internet.
[04:09] <rational> thx...guess I don't have a choice....I was hoping for a speedy download, but torrent it is...
[04:09] <digital_k> so no one have any ideas about the openoffice menu font? i will google I guess.
[04:09] <slim> rational: hold on
[04:09] <rational> k
[04:09] <Pelo> rambo3,  asking in ##linux might be a good idea
[04:09] <soundray> Pelo: enjoy
[04:09] <itsikarg> rambo3, it's that simple?
[04:09] <jhaig> lbawinowns: The desktop version allows you to see it without installing it first.  The alternate version allows you to install on older hardware and (I think) configure it more during the install.
[04:09] <slim> rational: have you tried downloading from the exact mirror?
[04:09] <Pelo> digital_k,  #openoffice.org
[04:10] <rambo3> itsikarg, depends on security you chose . pretty simple
[04:10] <digital_k> thank you pelo! i will check it out.
[04:10] <rational> tried 4 different mirrors from the Ubuntu site....is that what you mean??
[04:10] <rambo3> Pelo, i am guessing message was for somone else ?
[04:10] <lbawinowns> jhaig, so there is factual advantages wit text based?
[04:10] <itsikarg> rambo3, this router is in my office ,it is already configured ,works with mac ans windows, can i just connect to it and that's it?
[04:10] <jhaig> lbawinowns: Also, with the desktop version you have a working desktop while the install is taking place.
[04:10] <Pelo> rambo3,  yes sorry
[04:11] <slim> rational: when the download is almost complete, and it fails, try the same exact link and some times it will resume where it cut off
[04:11] <Pelo> he's gone now
[04:11] <rambo3> !wireless | itsikarg
[04:11] <ubotu> itsikarg: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:11] <lbawinowns> jhaig, yep, I had that too, I surfed internet while installing B)
[04:11] <jhaig> lbawinowns: If you want to install a server, for example, you would probably use the alternate version.  I've also installed Xubuntu on a machine which doesn't have enough memory for the live CD.
[04:11] <rational> yep..tried that too.....tried to resume the download....no luck....
[04:11] <itsikarg> rambo3, thanks!!
[04:11] <KillerBunny> rational, get a download manager (flashget or something like that=
[04:11] <KillerBunny> or try another mirror
[04:12] <rational> sounds like a good idea...
[04:12] <slim> hmmm. well i guess the toorent is your only hope man, sorry
[04:12] <rational> no problem...thanks for the help...
[04:12] <rational> any help is good help..
[04:12] <slim> no problem
[04:12] <KillerBunny> A dl manager should be able to resume if the host supports it.
[04:13] <slim> ok anyone know how to open a .rar file using "archive manager" ?
[04:13] <LMJ2> Hello the chan
[04:13] <lbawinowns> jhaig, I got worried, I've ordered 3*2 CDs with Ubuntu and Kubuntu, will they be desktop or alternate, I want desktop
[04:13] <dappis> slim: install unrar to add support for rar-archives
[04:14] <dappis> lbawinowns: all CDs are desktop-versions
[04:14] <LjL> !rar > slim    (slim, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:14] <slim> dappis: is that sudo apt.........unrar ?
[04:14] <dappis> at least all my CDs were :)
[04:14] <dappis> sudo aptitude install unrar
[04:14] <dappis> apt-get gives the same result
[04:14] <lbawinowns> dappis, thanks
[04:14] <CheshireViking> lbawinowns, i've just had some cd's through last week, they were desktop as well
[04:14] <LMJ2> samba 3.0.24 (smbd) segfault on feisty, anyone knows about this bug ? is there a fix ?
[04:15] <jhaig> lbawinowns: I don't know, but I suspect desktop.  The manufactured CDs are intended to show of Ubuntu, which is done better with the live CD.
[04:15] <lbawinowns> Nice :)
[04:15] <erUSUL> !bugs > LMJ2
[04:15] <slim> ok thanks guys (and ubotu)
[04:15] <dappis> alternate-cd is better if you already know you want to install ubuntu, it is a little bit faster and provides more installation options
[04:16] <Triplee23> Anyone managed to get Xvnc working? I get the logon screen in my vncviewer but the password is not accepted, anyone who can help me?
[04:16] <lbawinowns> dappis, alternate is for hackers and professionals right?
[04:17] <Deztorix> I've got an error this does have todo with windows though....A kernal file is missing from the disk. inster a system diskette and restart the system"  what does this mean? put in winxp disc?
[04:17] <rausb0> lbawinowns: the alternate version also install a desktop system, but the installer itself is textmode only
[04:18] <ufoeraser> ehi guys
[04:18] <lbawinowns> ok
[04:18] <jStefan> how do restore my gnome application menu to default, the restore button doesnt do the trick.
[04:18] <CheshireViking> lbawinowns, alternate is just an alternate, livecd sometimes doesn't work with some hardware wheras the alternate can do because it doesn't use the graphical installer
[04:18] <ufoeraser> what is the best mathematics software to calculate limits or other things....?
[04:18] <Bluhd> ufoeraser: What's the formula? :P
[04:19] <ufoeraser> ???
[04:19] <Bluhd> ufoeraser: nevermind
[04:19] <ufoeraser> what?
[04:19] <ufoeraser> ok....
[04:19] <Bluhd> ufoeraser: you're probably looking for a computer algebra system
[04:19] <ufoeraser> correct!
[04:19] <dappis> alternate-cd is text-based and I don't consider myself as a hacker
[04:20] <Bluhd> ufoeraser: as for "best", I don't know
[04:20] <jStefan> how do I restore my gnome application menu to defaults, the restore button doesnt do the trick.
[04:20] <Bluhd> ufoeraser: it all depends on what you find the easiest to use
[04:20] <Triplee23> Anyone managed to get Xvnc working? I get the logon screen in my vncviewer but the password is not accepted, anyone who can help me?
[04:20] <ufoeraser> Bluhd: ok....and for you?
[04:20] <bulmer> Triplee23: i dont recall the steps, but did you do a vncpasswd to set the password?
[04:21] <Frogzoo> how to install additional fonts plz ?
[04:21] <CheshireViking> Frogzoo, which fonts? have you installed mscorefonts via synaptic?

[04:22] <M__> Hello, i am having a problem, well, more like a lack of understanding, with Lm-sensors' ability to control fan speed. i have 2 cpu fans(dual cpu system) each running at 7k rpm, as you can imagine, sounds like a plane taking off, i have confirmed an ability to control fan speed with pwmconfig, but the "fancontrol"script on ubuntuguide.org doesn't function for me, at all, any tips/

[04:22] <jtreach> anyone know how I can let all connections through a port on ubuntu?
[04:22] <Frogzoo> jtreach: that's default

[04:25] <feenster> Hi all. I've got a 2 disk RAID-1 array in an LVM, and have been trying to split it down back to a single disk. I seem to have removed the disk from the RAID-1 (which i'm now rebuilding), and have tried to use vgreduce but it gave me a message about the disk being in use. Is there a really quick way to just take of the 2 disks and copy it's data off to another server?
[04:25] <littletank> Google is no help because lots of scanners will not work on Feisty
[04:25] <ufoeraser> CAS= euler computer algebra system?
[04:25] <Bluhd> ufoeraser: mathomatic looks promising
[04:25] <Frogzoo> I should hope so CheshireViking, thx
[04:25] <CheshireViking> no probs
[04:25] <lbawinowns> Is there any real reasons for a Ubuntu or Linux user to have protection programs such as anti-virus and firewalls?
[04:25] <ufoeraser> mathomatic?ok.....i'll try:)
[04:26] <jtreach> i've got a NAT problem with azureus and my router is definitely configured to forward that port, and according to the azureus wiki i have to eneter all of these commands
[04:26] <jtreach>  /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport <your_port_number> -j ACCEPT          /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport <your_port_number> -j ACCEPT ) &

[04:26] <dappis> I make a guess that HP has good support for linux
[04:26] <littletank> I only need a scanner
[04:26] <Frogzoo> jtreach: sure you're not reading how to configure an ubuntu firewall to forward azureus ?

The way I am working around is to go to System->preferences->screen resolution and select some other resolution..the grey tinge vanishes and then I select keep previous resolution
[04:27] <Bluhd> I thought that port forwarding had to be done on the router level
[04:28] <LjL> faggot: change your nickname please
[04:28] <jtreach> errrr.... possibly i'm not really sure all i know is that azureus says I have a NAT problem after I tried to change the port (to try and combat traffic shaping) my router is definitely configured correctly and I don't know what to do
[04:28] <rowdy> any ideas where i should be looking for errors
[04:28] <Bluhd> I was waiting for something like that to happen :P
[04:28] <dyrne> he's a lump of wood. perfectly PC
[04:28] <jtreach> plus the fact I can't remember my old port number

[04:29] <sumigamer> guys is there anyway to install KDE from the kubuntu CD in Ubuntu feisty
[04:29] <Bluhd> LjL: he's probably idling now
[04:29] <LjL> sumigamer: no, unless it's the alternate cd
[04:29] <sumigamer> the alternate cd??
[04:29] <LjL> !alternate > sumigamer    (sumigamer, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:30] <LjL> sumigamer: the standard Desktop CD doesn't have an APT repository (well, it has a very minimal one), so you can't install packages from it
[04:30] <Bluhd> wait
[04:30] <Bluhd> that ban mask looks weird

[04:33] <Lui> I search Rainbow Table MS Office
[04:33] <Lui> can you help me?
[04:34] <DaveTarmac> Can anyone help me? I've got a wireless network which I can connect to, but I do not get assigned an IP via DHCP. I have tried a Static IP, but I cannot get out on the internet using that either. Does anyone have any advice?
[04:34] <jhaig> drif: Does it do that if you try any X application?
[04:34] <babo> guys, what's the best way to set up dynamic dns on the ubuntu system ?

[04:35] <fwj> Hi, I am new to this ubuntu irc chat. Question: Anybody has experience with installing Adempiere via IzPack Installer? I get to the point where the installer says Adempiere inflating...ERROR.

[04:35] <jhaig> drif: ... or su to any other user?
[04:35] <scarter> anyone using MythTV? or Freevo? or LinuxMCE? i'm trying to pick a replacement (or have multiple options, depending on hardware support) to replace my M$ MCE.
[04:36] <drif> jhaig: I've tried both as root and normal user
[04:36] <dappis> "sudo su -" gives you access to root terminal, but be careful because linux processes every command as root
[04:36] <LjL> why not use "sudo -i" instead of "sudo su -" redundancy anyway?
[04:36] <drif> jhaig: actually :D as normal user it seems to work..so how do I do it as root as well?
[04:36] <jhaig> dappis, drif: The reason I ask about that is that I've found that when using su I cannot bring up X applications.
[04:37] <carbanm> what is a safe cpu temp?

[04:37] <jhaig> drif: I haven't got round to fixing it myself, but you should be able to do it with the $DISPLAY setting and xhost.  Try "xhost +localhost" (as the user you are logged in as"
[04:37] <CheshireViking> carbanm, my laptop regularly goes to 60c before the fan kicks in
[04:37] <carbanm> so a good "low temp" for lmsensors would be like 60?
[04:37] <dappis> carbanm: it depends, I don't like temps over +60'C
[04:38] <drif> dappis: if that was for me..or anyone else for that respect.. please direct'em bit better?
[04:38] <DaveTarmac> Can anyone help me? I've got a wireless network which I can connect to, but I do not get assigned an IP via DHCP. I have tried a Static IP, but I cannot get out on the internet using that either. Does anyone have any advice on how I can fix this?

[04:39] <ahmed> hello,, after installing beryl and using the xgl driver now games run very slow in wine though they used to run fast,, when i change session to gnome or kde without xgl it works fine but not all the games work cause they have a problem in registry,, though they run in the xgl session ,,, PLEAZE HELP
[04:39] <LjL> !beryl > ahmed    (ahmed, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:39] <dappis> !beryl > dappis
[04:39] <LjL> ahmed: (short answer: live with that, it's a shortcoming of xgl)
[04:39] <gr_man> hi all
[04:40] <drif> jhaig: xhost not helping itself..what about htta $DISPLAY setting
[04:40] <drif> that
[04:40] <ahmed> guys, can i unload xgl before running the game ,then re run it when done ?
[04:40] <jhaig> drif: Try what dappis suggests.  He's probably got a better idea than I have.
[04:40] <LjL> ahmed, you don't get the point i think. Beryl and Xgl are *not* supported here, but *only* in #ubuntu-effects
[04:40] <dappis> from the beryl-manager select metacity
[04:41] <LjL> ahmed: also it's not really nice to spam questions in several channels at a time
[04:41] <ahmed> k
[04:41] <drif> dappis: so as normal user sudo application to run it as root?
[04:41] <ahmed> now wine is supported here righT ?
[04:41] <gr_man> any women for chat
[04:41] <drif> dappis: seems to work
[04:41] <dappis> drif: yes, use sudo app to run it as root
[04:41] <mjr> ahmed, you'd probably be better off with #winehq for that
[04:41] <CheshireViking> ahmed, your best bet for wine is try in #winehq
[04:42] <n0n4m3> does anyone know when will opera release a 64bit version of it's browser for linux?
[04:42] <LjL> ahmed: yeah, though especially if you're using the latest version, #winehq might know better than us.
[04:42] <dappis> drif: and "sudo su -" gives you a root terminal, where "application" runs the app as root
[04:42] <drif> dappis: got reason why it's not happening after applying su?
[04:42] <LjL> sudo -i works as well and doesn't involve redundancy of commands
[04:42] <dappis> no idea
[04:43] <codnix> hi all
[04:43] <codnix> what is the cpp lib package name ?

[04:43] <zLinux_> hi
[04:44] <codnix> isnt there is a specific name ?
[04:44] <LjL> codnix: what is the cpp lib?
[04:44] <Neil-> Hey all.. just a general question - what is the realtime/RT kernel?
[04:44] <codnix> c plus plus
[04:44] <codnix> when i ./configure
[04:44] <LjL> codnix: so you mean the standard library for C++ programs?
[04:44] <LjL> !build-essential > codnix    (codnix, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:44] <codnix> ya
[04:44] <dappis> oh, try installing build-essential
[04:45] <Elko> hmm, I put auth users and secrets file in rsyncd.conf, but rsync only works with local usernames, not virtual ones as stated in the manpage. any idead on what I'm missing here?
[04:45] <LjL> codnix: "cpp" is the C preprocessor, to most people
[04:45] <carbanm> Anyone here able to help me configure Lm-sensors for cpu fan control?
[04:45] <DaveTarmac> Can anyone help me? I've got a wireless network which I can connect to, but I do not get assigned an IP via DHCP. I have tried a Static IP, but I cannot get out on the internet using that either. Does anyone have any advice?
[04:45] <dappis> some programs require additional packages to compile programs but build-essential includes all necessary packages
[04:45] <Triplee23> Is there an easy terminal command which makes it possible to enter two rows of text at the end of an existing text file, or do I have to you a text editor?
[04:46] <Dutch_Gecko> cat >> filename
[04:46] <LjL> Triplee23: cat >> filename, use Ctrl+D when finished writing
[04:46] <LjL> Triplee23: CAREFUL, if you use only one >, the file gets overwritten
[04:46] <feross> DaveTarmac: try  Network Manager (nm-applet) it works great for wireless.
[04:47] <sipior> Neil-: real time kernels aer used for device control appliactions, or anywhere else where you don't want to have to worry about your process being rescheduled by the scheduler. also i believe harware interrupts are treated differently as well, for the same reason.
[04:47] <Triplee23> Did I understand correct: cat >> file.txt Text 1 Text 2?
[04:47] <Cyberdance> Hi! Anybody here who can give me a little support getting MythTV running on Feisty?

[04:47] <Dutch_Gecko> then the second
[04:47] <Dutch_Gecko> hit enter
[04:47] <DaveTarmac> feross: Is that supplied with Ubuntu at install? I don't have a network connection within the OS. I'm on my vista partition at the moment

[04:48] <Dutch_Gecko> kk :)
[04:49] <sipior> thomax: corrupt partition table maybe? have a look with fdisk?

[04:50] <LjL> !dualhead > Acs    (Acs, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:50] <PepperBob> Acs, it's the graphics driver imho that has to support dual monitor
[04:50] <DaveTarmac> feross: and my network card uses the ACX111 chipset if that's any help
[04:50] <sipior> hylje: also, check out the "bufexplorer" plugin at vim.org, lovely for switching between multiple buffers
[04:50] <SlimeyPete> hylje: you can also press <n> then ctrl-w ctrl-^ to split the screen between the two buffers
[04:51] <mjr> Acs, short answer: Yes, but it doesn't have automatic configuration of dualhead; see the ubotu response LjL apparently sent you
[04:51] <DaveTarmac> feross: I have checked the wiki about compatible cards and the D-Link G520+ is on there as 'working out of the box' apparently, but I seem to be having a load of problems with it
[04:51] <Acs> mjr I read it

[04:56] <ianubuntu> how can i get menu support for my dvd playback on ubuntu - someone recommended me a program (4 letters in the name i think) but i can't remeber what
[04:56] <GigaClon> kintaro0e, you should already have a program that reads pdfs
[04:56] <ac> tx
[04:56] <sipior> kintaro0e: google "medibuntu", and it should turn up
[04:56] <kintaro0e> sipior: ok thanks
[04:57] <LjL> !medibuntu
[04:57] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[04:57] <ianubuntu> cpyo or something
[04:57] <Jack31> Does the intel centrino chipset use nvidia for video?
[04:57] <sipior> kintaro0e: follow the "repository howto" on the page, and then reload your package list in synaptic. acroread sould then be available
[04:58] <mjr> ianubuntu, xine, in the package xine-ui, does dvd-menus fine for me
[04:58] <kintaro0e> sipior: thanks
[04:58] <ianubuntu> it wasn't xine, it was a program which had a rather limited seperate UI for the controls, but it was pretty awesome

[05:03] <dyrne> feenster: well you can i guess alt-ctrl-f2 then login and type export DISPLAY=:0.0   then run gnome-panel
[05:03] <LjL> sipior: OS X for PPC can be virtualized using PearPC (and possibly qemu, not sure if it can boot it yet). OS X for Intel can be used under VMWare with modifications that may in some/many/most countries be illegal.
[05:03] <turten> any help here? Thanks
[05:03] <ianubuntu> mobutu: thats the one :D thanks
[05:03] <jtreach> network settings? is that right?
[05:03] <feenster> digital_k - i'm not sure I can - let me just check
[05:03] <dyrne> feenster: f7 to get back to bui
[05:03] <sipior> LjL: interesting, thanks.
[05:03] <jtreach> im trying top get around a NAT problem with azureus
[05:03] <sipior> LjL: i may even have a go, could be fun.
[05:03] <jtreach> its not my router, its something to do with ubuntu
[05:04] <LjL> sipior: the PPC emulation route is, of course, quite slow.
[05:04] <sipior> LjL: yeah, i figured :)
[05:05] <dyrne> feenster: feenster id adjust the monitor buttons untill you can see black around the top and bottom though
[05:06] <jtreach> okay i figured out how to give myself a static ip
[05:06] <jtreach> but it disconnects me if i change it
[05:06] <ianubuntu> test
[05:07] <jtreach> what do i put for ip address / subnet mask / gateway address are there standard values?
[05:07] <jtreach> or specific to my router
[05:07] <jtreach> and if so where would i find this information
[05:07] <saidkasim> i have problem when i insert dvd disc in my optiarc ad-7170 drive and i click to open it and recive this message "Invalid mount option when attepting to mount the drive"
[05:07] <dyrne> jtreach: im guessing if you change the static ip you might need to 'sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>' <-- or whatever
[05:07] <sipior> jtreach: generally folks use dhcp to get this from a provider. what are you trying to accomplish precisely?
[05:08] <AnThOnYhO> hello everybody My phone can recognize my bt adapter but can't connect to the computer why.
[05:08] <shane634> sounds like he is having NAT issues in Azureus
[05:08] <jtreach> the people over at azuereus support said a static ip would help my get around a NAT problem
[05:08] <jtreach> hence why im trying to give my computer a static ip rather than dhcp
[05:09] <shane634> jtreach, in your router can you set it as a static dhcp address?
[05:09] <jtreach> i think so yes
[05:09] <shane634> jtreach, this will give the ubuntu box the same IP every boot.. this will resolve the Azureus issue
[05:09] <sipior> jtreach: but generally your isp assigns these addresses, and prefer to do so dynamically. have you checked with them?
[05:10] <chainlynx> how do I save my session on the newest version of ubuntu?  it used to prompt me when I logged out
[05:10] <shane634> jtreach, you just need to know your MAC address
[05:10] <sipior> chainlynx: have a look at System-->Preferences-->Sessions
[05:10] <shane634> jtreach, you can get your MAC or hardware address with ifconfig in terminal
[05:10] <jtreach> okay
[05:11] <chainlynx> sipior, yes, the appropriate option is "automatically save changes to session" under "session options"?
[05:11] <saidkasim> i have problem when i insert dvd disc in my optiarc ad-7170 drive and i click to open it and recive this message "Invalid mount option when attepting to mount the drive"
[05:11] <Lazarus^> is there a way to obtain pressed CD's of the latest ubuntu release?
[05:11] <jtreach> the thing is it was working fine with another port earlier
[05:11] <sipior> chainlynx: i think there's also an "ask at logout" option
[05:11] <jtreach> so how can it be an ip problem
[05:11] <shane634> jtreach, then set up port forwading.. and tell firestarter to use that port
[05:12] <shane634> jtreach, for help on that look here http://portforward.com/routers.htm
[05:12] <jtreach> firestarted?
[05:12] <gcbdm> What's the fastest way to get ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant on my system once I installed Ubuntu?
[05:12] <jtreach> okay thank anyway
[05:12] <chainlynx> sipior: no, that's the only option I see under "session options" as well as a button that says "save the current session"
[05:12] <jtreach> thanks*
[05:12] <shane634> jtreach, firestarter is the frontend for IP tables the buuilt in firewall
[05:12] <sipior> chainlynx: ah well
[05:13] <Cryption> I need help installing mongrel_rails on Feisty
[05:13] <CheshireViking> Lazarus^, you need to use shipit
[05:13] <chainlynx> sipior: I actually did check this option and then a few things started going wacky so now I'm booting in failsafe mode... windows lost their borders/toolbars, always opened in the top left, lots of keyboard shortcuts didn't work anymore... can you speculate on a reason for this happening?
[05:14] <Lazarus^> Uhh.. I was planning to do a "Local ShipIt" thingy
[05:14] <chainlynx> even stranger, when I unchecked it, the undesired behavior persisted
[05:14] <sipior> chainlynx: problems with gconfd, most likely. i only save session manually, as i don't trust the damned thing, frankly.
[05:14] <Lazarus^> I would like to distribute Ubuntu CD's here as well
[05:14] <CheshireViking> Lazarus^, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ not sure about a local thing, but here's the website in case you haven;'t already got it
[05:15] <sipior> chainlynx: in fact, it's a problem going back to very early versions of gnome. perhaps they're considered features now...
[05:15] <Lazarus^> You know, I already know that... They only support up to Dapper
[05:15] <orbin> gcbdm: i think wpasupplicant is part of default install.  and ndiswrapper is on the cd iirc
[05:15] <coleb> Has anyone seen this error when doing a cvs login? cvs: ldap-nss.c:1374: do_init: Assertion `cfg->ldc_uris[__session.ls_current_uri]  != ((void *)0)' failed.
[05:15] <saidkasim> i have problem when i insert dvd disc in my optiarc ad-7170 drive and i click to open it and recive this message "Invalid mount option when attepting to mount the drive"
[05:15] <FunnyLookinHat> Lazarus^, usually LoCo teams do local distribution because they are allowed to request very large amounts of CDs
[05:15] <chainlynx> sipior: so how do you, personally, save your session manually?
[05:15] <Lazarus^> So how can I join a LoCo team?
[05:15] <mIgUeL_sAn> hi guys... what's the package name for wine? i need to install it using apt-get thanks in advance
[05:16] <orbin> wine
[05:16] <sipior> chainlynx: gnome-session-save
[05:16] <shane634> Lazarus^, in the ubuntu forums look for a loco team near you and sign up
[05:16] <Lazarus^> uhuhh.... I just registered
[05:16] <chainlynx> ok, thanks sipior
[05:16] <gcbdm> What's the fastest way to get ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant on my system once I installed Ubuntu?
[05:17] <`AnthraX> hello
[05:17] <`AnthraX> i got a problem :>
[05:17] <shane634> gcbdm, probably synaptic
[05:17] <devcenter> hello, guys
[05:17] <mIgUeL_sAn> !wine
[05:17] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:17] <gcbdm> shane634: The thing is that I won't have my wireless setup yet.
[05:17] <`AnthraX> E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 44 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:17] <Cryption> What is the equivalent of chkconfig on Ubuntu?
[05:17] <chainlynx> one more question... I'm booting in failsafe mode now for GNOME and nothing seems to be different... I gather that failsafe mode does not run the stuff in ~/.gnome2/sessions ... are these programs really that helpful/essential?
[05:17] <devcenter> I liked to install mercury-messenger with apt-get.....but it dont search
[05:18] <Cryption> Anyone here running Mongrel on Feisty?
[05:18] <shane634> gcbdm, i think ndiswrapper is on the install cd not certain though.. you will need net or another comp for wpa
[05:18] <swatF1RESTORM> NetworkingQuestion: what's the best way to freshly install feisty in a wifi & LAN network?
[05:18] <devcenter> I liked to install mercury-messenger with apt-get.....but it dont meet
[05:18] <jsizzle> greets, anyone know how to get the font garamond on ubuntu?
[05:18] <gcbdm> shane634: Because when I first installed Ubuntu, I tried to install wpa_supplicanyt by hand. And it was depedency hell
[05:19] <shane634> gcbdm, yes i am sure it was
[05:19] <apakatt>  i've got a strange problem. my Kubuntu suddely stoped working yesterday. when i reach KDM-login manager and enter my password it falls back to KDM again, and X failes to start from console even though i havn't touch either my hardware or any software (that i can rember)
[05:19] <shane634> apakatt, did you do any updates at all?
[05:19] <feross> swatF1RESTORM: what's your concern? the best way is the same no matter what ;)
[05:20] <AlbertoP> hello
[05:20] <feross> swatF1RESTORM: just download the CD image, burn it, boot and install. After instal configure wifi and lan.. done
[05:20] <apakatt> shane634: I don't think so, not any I remember. But i only do official updates from ubuntu-repos and i dont think it has been any x.org related or such
[05:20] <swatF1RESTORM> feross: my concern is the ease of switching back and forth. It's been a real headache so far and I think a fresh reinstall is needed.
[05:21] <shane634> apakatt, which version are you using? if you did a kernel update it can break X
[05:21] <apakatt> shane634: Kubuntu 7.04 and i have tried different old kernels aswell
[05:21] <swatF1RESTORM> feross: I'm sitting at the 'Start or Install Ubuntu' screen now ;-)
[05:21] <`AnthraX> E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 44 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:21] <shane634> apakatt, which vid card? can you pastebin your xorg.conf file?
[05:22] <gluttony> hi. ive been running termnial programs latley, and i accidently configure the email client Mutt wrong. how do i fix this?

[05:26] <shane634> apakatt, that is odd for sure then
[05:27] <forteshadow> How does one uninstall PPC Ubuntu on a pariton?
[05:27] <PepperBob> forteshadow, i think everyone read you question now several times. so be patient a little...
[05:27] <forteshadow> Okay, Sorry.
[05:27] <apakatt> shane634: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21989/
[05:27] <PepperBob> forteshadow, i can imagine using the os x disk utility
[05:28] <forteshadow> Okay, I will try that.
[05:28] <forteshadow> Thanks
[05:28] <PepperBob> forteshadow, i guess you're running os x and ubuntu parallel?
[05:28] <forteshadow> No, It's a PPC mac
[05:28] <forteshadow> Oh wait
[05:28] <forteshadow> Duh, yes.
[05:28] <PepperBob> forteshadow, well on this mac there's os x and ubuntu installed right?
[05:28] <forteshadow> Yep.
[05:28] <orbin> swatF1RESTORM: don't think so.
[05:28] <PepperBob> forteshadow, is os x asking what os to boot when booting up?
[05:28] <gluttony> anyone know another terminal email client besides mutt?
[05:29] <Grummus> apakatt, X is working towards automatic detection with every new release, the goal is to have only one entry in the xorg.conf, the driver you use, for some setups it already works
[05:29] <drif> where do I harness special keyboard functions under my own usage? like volume wheel

[05:47] <jcaceres> because i needed to add some libraries for a while
[05:47] <drif> am I able to grab logitech keyboard commands such as 'volume wheel'? to make it do something else than adjusting my volume?
[05:48] <tashe> Type 'deb' is not known on line 44 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:48] <flac> stefg: that didn't work :( compilation is Ok but no sound !
[05:48] <RealET> stefg: when I plug the USB drive, ubuntu tell me : "What do you want to do?" Media type : "Unmount media"
[05:48] <tashe> can soome one helpm e with this one ("Type 'deb' is not known on line 44 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list")
[05:48] <flac> tashe: copy here the line 44 of your sources.list
[05:48] <dr_willis> jcaceres,  thats a command ive never used, or actually HEARD about untill just now. :)
[05:49] <tashe> I'll try
[05:49] <jcaceres> but then when i go to system there is not administrator
[05:49] <SlimeyPete> tashe: looks like you have some characters in the file, before 'deb'. The line needs to start with deb.
[05:49] <tashe> to find it
[05:49] <drif> tashe: seems there's some garbage chars in your sources.list
[05:49] <dr_willis> jcaceres,  from reading its man pages. it modifies the groups file.  you may have to boot to rescue mode and repair that file manually
[05:49] <jcaceres> i have repairit
[05:49] <flac> tashe: if you read with vim it shows you the line number
[05:50] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: same pattern. i found that page in google too, about a day ago
[05:50] <tashe> i reached the /etc/apt/ directory, but how can i open the file?
[05:50] <flac> vim sources.list in console mode
[05:50] <tashe> i am completely new to this one
[05:50] <Eliveer> Yggdrasil: found it---http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IRC/index.html
[05:50] <flac> or gedit sources.list if you want a graphical interface
[05:50] <jcaceres> but when i go to system there is nothing
[05:50] <Yggdrasil> Eliveer thanks
[05:50] <defrysk> sudo gedit blahblah
[05:50] <shane634> tashe, either will tell ya what line you are on
[05:51] <tashe> i opened it
[05:51] <devcenter> anyone install kde 4 in ubuntu 7.04
[05:51] <Nalleman> Hi, just wonder how to install some cool "icon panels" for the desktop
[05:51] <shane634> no alienware users on today?
[05:51] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, how do you start vnc? via vncserver or Xvnc?
[05:52] <Eliveer> devcenter: have not done that but i thought that was the purpose of kubuntu?
[05:52] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: i just type 'vncserver'
[05:52] <yiphoyin> hi
[05:52] <flac> tashe: so copy it here :)
[05:52] <yiphoyin> have hk ppl?
[05:52] <life> it said ubuntu and kubuntu were aimed at different audiences
[05:53] <life> but didn't say what audiences
[05:53] <life> ?
[05:53] <neverblue> thats life :)
[05:53] <dr_willis> vncserver should spawn a 'virtual' desktop in the background you can connect to with a vnc client. xvnc does a similer task.. but a little differently. it shares the current desktop (i belive)
[05:53] <shane634> life, KDE is just a different desktop environment.. all about freedom here
[05:53] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, you edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup file from the same user you run "vncserver"?
[05:53] <dr_willis> i run kde and gnome and xfce all 3 :) and others. on same box.
[05:53] <emarkd> anyone know how to config the keyboard media buttons in edgy?  they work, i just need them to do something different
[05:53] <life> so it kubuntu isn't aimed at developers/programmers?
[05:54] <neverblue> http://pastebin.ca/502597 <-- can someone look at my xorg.conf to setup duals?
[05:54] <dr_willis> life,  no its not.
[05:54] <neverblue> life, what tools do you use?
[05:54] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: i justed killed the vncserver session, and typed 'Xvnc'. it says 'SErver is already active for display 0'
[05:54] <shane634> life, it can be used for whatever your heart desires mate
[05:54] <stefg> !keytouch | emarkd
[05:54] <ubotu> emarkd: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[05:54] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: yes to your last
[05:54] <tashe> this is line 44
[05:54] <tashe> deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt feisty main
[05:54] <life> ok, so the functionality of the desktop is different?
[05:54] <tashe> this is line 44
[05:54] <tashe> deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt feisty main
[05:54] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, Xvnc is normally run via a desktop manager like gdm or kdm
[05:54] <bobbob1016> I'm trying to setup an ubuntu box as a PXE server, and I'm following these directions http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server it says if you have a DHCP server, add this to it, my DHCP server is my router, do I still add that?  Sorry if this is the wrong room
[05:54] <neverblue> life, why not give them both a try?
[05:55] <dr_willis> dbrewer_rjr,  how did you  kill it? you should of used the vncserver --kill :0 command (or similer)
[05:55] <defrysk> tashe, be wise and remove the complete line
[05:55] <life> i am new to ubuntu, have  been using it for about 3 weeks, its awesome, i used automatix and beryl
[05:55] <shane634> life,  it is a different desktop is all
[05:55] <emarkd> stefg:  thanks, but i was looking for a commandline solution...
[05:55] <tashe> i tried
[05:55] <tashe> and says that i dont have acces
[05:55] <shane634> life, meaning it looks differnt
[05:55] <LjL> !automatix
[05:55] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:55] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: yes that is how i killed it... vncserver -kill :2
[05:55] <haptiK> whats the best option: VMWare WorkStation and Install Ubuntu myself or download VMPlayer and install a VMTN of Ubuntu???
[05:55] <life> ok, you said you  were running them both from the same box?  same install?  or do i need a new partition/etc..
[05:55] <defrysk> tashe use sudo gedit blah blah
[05:55] <dr_willis> tashe,  you need to use sudo/root access to edit that file.
[05:55] <defrysk> tashe, you need root acces..
[05:56] <shane634> life, just type in a terminal apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:56] <defrysk> tashe, and stay away from automatix
[05:56] <dr_willis> haptiK,  ive not seen a feisty vmware image yet.. they mey be out now however. That does save time.
[05:56] <tashe> ok
[05:56] <tashe> how do i become sudo?
[05:56] <LjL> !sudo > tashe    (tashe, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:56] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, when you edit vnc config files you have to kill / restart the vncserver
[05:56] <haptiK> dr_willis there is a feisty image i believe.
[05:56] <dr_willis> haptiK,  then use it and save an hr :)
[05:56] <life> after i do that, i will be able to switch between u and k with no problems?  how do i switch between them?
[05:56] <LjL> tashe: sudo is a command, you don't become sudo. sudo allows you to gain superuser privileges temporarily for executing a command that needs them.
[05:56] <shane634> tashe, simply type sudo in front of whatever you opened it with
[05:56] <JP_> lo folks, where can i suggest features for the gutsy gibbon release?
[05:56] <haptiK> dr_willis: will i be able to run it as if its on my machine? i mean. install software and do whatever i want?
[05:56] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, i would just do "killall vncserver" ;)
[05:56] <LjL> life: by selecting the desired type of session from your login screen
[05:57] <neverblue> http://pastebin.ca/502597 <-- can someone look at my xorg.conf to setup duals?
[05:57] <dr_willis> haptiK,  of course
[05:57] <life>  o i c.  well that is pretty cool
[05:57] <shane634> JP_, in the gutsy devel forum
[05:57] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, and check with "ps ax | grep vnc" if anything survived
[05:57] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: when I ps -ef and grep for vnc, there is nothing running, but when I type Xvnc, it says the process is running
[05:57] <JP_> shane634: where is that?
[05:57] <life> ok  a couple more questions real quick
[05:57] <tashe> Perfect guys
[05:57] <tashe> i fixed it
[05:57] <haptiK> dr_willis: excellent. this way i wont have to renew my licence key every 30 days too
[05:57] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, do not run Xvnc
[05:57] <shane634> JP_,  at ubuntu forums
[05:57] <dr_willis> for vncserver - killing it improperly may leave some pid/log files laying about.
[05:57] <life> what are the requirements for edubuntu?
[05:57] <haptiK> dr_willis: if i was to use vmware workstation that is
[05:57] <dr_willis> haptiK,  license key? 30 days? for what? i just use the free vmware server.
[05:58] <life> and will it run slowly on older computers?
[05:58] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, Xvnc is an entirely different beast then vncserver
[05:58] <dr_willis> life,  for an older box xubuntu may be the  best bet.
[05:58] <life> also, can i have u/k/e all on same box?
[05:58] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: typing 'Xvnc' gives : Server is already active for display 0
[05:58] <shane634> JP_, this is a link http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=238
[05:58] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, yes
[05:58] <life> xubuntu.. ah... i will look that up too
[05:58] <haptiK> dr_willis: uhm... free vmware server to run ubuntu desktop?
[05:58] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, that's actually correct behaviour, do not run Xnvc
[05:58] <dr_willis> life,  you can easially install ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu on the same box. they are just differnet packages.
[05:58] <life> wow
[05:58] <LjL> tashe: yes
[05:59] <stefg> !edubuntu
[05:59] <ubotu> Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org
[05:59] <dr_willis> haptiK,  i got the free vbmware server. i use it to test out different disrtos all the time.
[05:59] <haptiK> dr_willis:  hmm ill download that
[05:59] <shane634> life, if you have the free disk space you can have em all and pick at login lol
[05:59] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, just run "vncserver"
[05:59] <life> how in depth is the educational aspect of it , anyone know?
[05:59] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: when i kill the vncserver, i always run ps -ef to check the kill.
[05:59] <life> each one takes a couple gigs?
[05:59] <shane634> life, it is geared toward children i believe
[05:59] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, good :)
[05:59] <dbrewer_rjr> i always start with just 'vncserver'
[06:00] <life> ya,  i am helping my friend build a computer for his little sister
[06:00] <JP_> thanks shane634
[06:00] <shane634> life, edubuntu is good then
[06:00] <aubade> ^ But her a mini, be done with it!
[06:00] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: i always start with just 'vncserver'
[06:00] <shane634> JP_, no problem mate
[06:00] <RealET> stefg: pmount-hal give me a dbus_connexion_close error (cf http://www.google.fr/search?q=dbus_connection_close+ntfs+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official&client=firefox-a)
[06:00] <dr_willis> best way to kill off vncserver is --->   vncserver -kill <X-display>
[06:00] <life> ok great, well i am downloading the other iso's... i guess when that is done i will try and install the other os's
[06:01] <orbin> life: you might be getting confused.
[06:01] <dr_willis> life,  you are doing it wrongly. :)
[06:01] <life> so i ... sudo apt-get command command?
[06:01] <dr_willis> life,  you can install ubuntu, then apt-get install most all the other desktops
[06:01] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: i think i need another line than just 'exec gnaome-session &'
[06:01] <aubade> Going to kiss someone/something if there aren't a/v sync issues. Even if I couldn't extract the chapters listing properly.
[06:01] <dr_willis> life,  install ubuntu, then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop
[06:01] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: read gnome
[06:01] <dr_willis> and ya got all 3
[06:01] <shane634> life, you can just install em off the net no need for new downloads and burning
[06:01] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, anything past "exec [...]  &" will get ignored
[06:01] <life> ok, well i can do that on mine, but i figured i will burn it on disc for them, they will not have a good net connection
[06:01] <haptiK> dr_willis: vmware server download area tells me i need a valid serial
[06:01] <dr_willis> amazing how simple ubuntu can make things.
[06:01] <shane634> life, ok then lol
[06:02] <life> ok supergreat, thanx shane
[06:02] <life> i am going to go read about xubuntu
[06:02] <life> thx all
[06:02] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: then it must have something to do with the geometry?
[06:02] <dr_willis> haptiK,  they want your email address. fill out the form.. get serial.. enjoy. They dont even check the email address
[06:02] <anton1> what is xubuntu desktop ?
[06:02] <shane634> life, thank the good people at Ubuntu not me lol
[06:02] <dr_willis> !xubuntu
[06:02] <haptiK> see thast what i was doing with workstation
[06:02] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[06:02] <haptiK> ffs now i have to restart my download lol
[06:02] <life> thx good people at ubuntu
[06:02] <life> :-)
[06:02] <anton1> thanks :)
[06:03] <dr_willis> haptiK,  ive never used workstation.  i just use the free server. on several machines.
[06:03] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, use "vncserver -geometry widthxheight"
[06:03] <_Duesentrieb_> hi all
[06:03] <_Duesentrieb_> how do i find the name/type/id of my laptop's main board?
[06:03] <Grummus> dbrewer_rjr, also "man vncserver" is very informative :)
[06:03] <haptiK> cockballs. i found the free server section . i was in teh wrong area
[06:03] <haptiK> dr_willis: cheers ears
[06:03] <_Duesentrieb_> i guess it's in /proc somewhere...
[06:03] <_Duesentrieb_> but where?
[06:03] <Motorhead> ubuntu ftw
[06:03] <Motorhead> sorry
[06:04] <haptiK> \o/ yay!
[06:04] <haptiK>  |
[06:04] <Motorhead> heh
[06:04] <haptiK> ahh you messed up my little guy before i could get the legs on
[06:04] <RealET> stefg: I have this bug<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:04] <DVS01> my systray stopped working properly. programs that show up in it no longer do (such as skype), and wine's systray ends up being its own window. also, the network manager disappeared from the systray. why would this happen and how can i fix it?
[06:04] <DVS01> using gnome
[06:04] <haptiK> ./\
[06:04] <dbrewer_rjr> Grummus: i just found the log file. it has errors i can work on. bye for now
[06:04] <DVS01> with feisty
[06:04] <aubade> Audio doesn't sync up properly. ;\
[06:05] <aubade> Still, 140m movie @ 960M isn't bad.
[06:05] <newbie001> Hello
[06:05] <flac> hello
[06:05] <newbie001> How can I edit the mime types in Nautilus?
[06:05] <newbie001> I couldn't find any info on google...
[06:06] <haptiK> my barse is itching like mad
[06:06] <aubade> gconf-editor but there's bound to be a more sane place.
[06:06] <newbie001> Ok... That's good....
[06:07] <flac> I still have no sound ... I tried this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[06:07] <newbie001> I couldn't find any easy way to edit an existing application.
[06:07] <flac> but nothing helps
[06:07] <haptiK> lol no sound 4 u!
[06:07] <newbie001> But I'll try gconf-editor
[06:07] <flac> haptiK: ?
[06:07] <haptiK> *point and laugh*
[06:07] <flac> haptiK: :(
[06:07] <dinochopins> hi everyone
[06:07] <flac> hi
[06:07] <haptiK> *giggle tee hee*
[06:08] <dinochopins> I used to set my IP address (eth0) to class C network => <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:08] <fw1> /msgNickServhelp IDENTIFY
[06:08] <dinochopins> with subnet <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:09] <dinochopins> but when I set to IP then when I try to set to other IP : <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:09] <orbisvicis> has any one noticed that applications launched from the tray in the top panel have this quick enlarging-square animation effect ?
[06:09] <stefg> !coc | haptiK
[06:09] <ubotu> haptiK: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[06:09] <haptiK> stefg: ffs im just messing with him. he knows im joking.
[06:09] <dinochopins> It returns : Could not enable the interface eth0. Check that the settings are correct for this network and that the computer is correctly connected to it
[06:09] <dinochopins> why it returns that ?
[06:09] <orbisvicis> is it possible to turn that off ?
[06:10] <haptiK> flac: i'm sorry i was making fun of you :)
[06:10] <flac> haptiK: I know ...
[06:10] <Dutch_Gecko> dinochopins: that address is an internet address and could already be in use
[06:10] <Dutch_Gecko> if it is, the network won't let you enable it
[06:10] <foormea> hey. does anyone have the one-before-last binary of secondlife? i can't find it anywhere and latest binary won't work here...
[06:10] <dinochopins> Ducth_Gecko, yes the address already in use... and it's also my server
[06:11] <dinochopins> Dutch_Gecko, now I try to setup a replacement server (Ubuntu box) and still not connected to any cable
[06:11] <Dutch_Gecko> ah ok
[06:11] <dr_willis> foormea,  from what little ive used 2nd live under linux. it updates itself to the latest when ran. May be they got some bigger bugs going on.
[06:11] <Motorhead> DVS01: have you tried deleting gnome configuration?
[06:11] <juanescle> no entender
[06:11] <dinochopins> Dutch_Gecko, should I plugin any cable first ?
[06:11] <foormea> dr_willis> nah, auto update is not supported on linux version :)
[06:12] <Dutch_Gecko> dont think it would make a difference
[06:12] <Dutch_Gecko> hmm, I'm not sure
[06:12] <dinochopins> Dutch_Gecko, yeah.. think so. Hm.. weird
[06:12] <Dutch_Gecko> anyone else?
[06:12] <dr_willis> foormea,  i though i saw it auto-updating stuff last  minth.. but i do run/install it as a user. notsystem wide
[06:12] <haptiK> i would like to run beryl. what window manager should i run beryl on?
[06:12] <belfegor> there is a program like dc++ for ubuntu?
[06:12] <dr_willis> foormea,  but that may of been for little updates
[06:12] <flac> belfegor: linuxdcpp
[06:12] <belfegor> ok thanks
[06:13] <foormea> yeah. i run it as user, not systemwide too. hum. does that latest version work on your box?
[06:13] <anton1> q again: does ubuntu support switch user like windows?
[06:13] <haptiK> oh beryl is a window manager
[06:13] <haptiK> woops
[06:13] <Grummus> dinochopins, network config also includes dns / routing information, did you change this also to the "live" setup?
[06:13] <gordonjcp> anton1: what does Windows do?
[06:13] <dr_willis> foormea,  using remote linux desktop at the moment.. so not tried it ina bout a month. so cant tell ya
[06:13] <Motorhead> /q
[06:13] <dinochopins> Grummus, hm... where do I take a look at that configuration ?
[06:13] <foormea> dr_willis> i see. well thanks anyway :)
[06:14] <Motorhead> D=
[06:14] <anton1> gordonjcp: when I login as a user.. I can switch (or login again) as another user...
[06:14] <Crane_> dinochopins: are you behind a router
[06:14] <anton1> it helps here in my home where we share the pc..
[06:14] <juanescle> help help help
[06:14] <LjL> !helpme
[06:14] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:14] <Crane_> dinochopins: it could be that that range of IP is not available
[06:14] <gordonjcp> anton1: well, you can log out and log in as another user, like in Windows
[06:14] <dinochopins> Crane_ : no.. still a stand alone one
[06:15] <soundray> anton1: when you select System-Quit, there is a "Switch user" option. When you've logged in a second time, you can switch back and forth with Ctrl-Alt-F7 and Ctrl-Alt-F9
[06:15] <gordonjcp> anton1: but you could also use sudo from the command line or gksu to run something as root
[06:15] <dinochopins> Crane_ : my server is still an isolated one, not connected to any network
[06:15] <dinochopins> Crane_ : I need to migrate some data from PLESK, so I need to set the live IP
[06:15] <Crane_> dinochopins: then you computer connect direct to the modem that is going out to internet?
[06:15] <anton1> gordonjcp: I mean we don't have to logoff the current user... if I run a program and switch to another user.. my program still run...
[06:15] <Crane_> oh OK
[06:16] <Crane_> I missed that parts
[06:16] <dinochopins> Crane_ : there is a modem, but also not up :)
[06:16] <soundray> anton1: that's how switch user works in Ubuntu as well
[06:16] <anton1> it's like multiple users log on simultaneously on a single computer
[06:16] <dinochopins> Crane_ : it's ok... what should I do ?
[06:16] <soundray> anton1: are you listening?
[06:16] <intangir_> lorenzo lammas!
[06:16] <intangir_> hahaha

[06:16] <intangir_> oops mistell
[06:16] <dinochopins> Crane_ : the network script seems ok, it looks like the one that I going to replace soon
sorry error
[06:16] <dinochopins> Crane_ : weird...
[06:17] <Grummus> dinochopins, i am not on a ubuntu box right now, but if your dns / routing information does not fit to your ip address it maybe result in the network not coming up
[06:17] <anton1> soundray: oh I found it .... thanks man.. stupid me.. :)

[06:17] <newbie001> Ok, nothing on gconf-editor
[06:17] <dinochopins> Grummus:  Ok, will try to find out first...
[06:17] <newbie001> Any other idea?
[06:17] <Crane_> dinochopins: I'm confused, so you are connected to a modem but it is down. You are not connected to a network or router?
[06:18] <anton1> soundray: sorry.. I was checking around first before replying... :) I just got my box up ... :)
[06:18] <Grummus> Crane_, i think dinochopins is setting up a second box as a replacement for a server
[06:18] <newbie001> Anyone knows how to edit the application that opens a file?
[06:18] <dinochopins> Grummus, exactly
[06:19] <soundray> newbie001: right-click, select Properties, select the Open with... tab
[06:19] <dinochopins> Grummus, in my named.conf zone => there is a zone which point to <IP_ADDRESS>, will try to troubleshoot that
[06:19] <hentai_jeff> anyone know a better IRC bot then eggdrop? preferably easier to setup too
[06:20] <Grummus> dinochopins, that's not the problem
[06:20] <apokryphos> hentai_jeff: supybot is the most popular one on freenode probably
[06:20] <flac> Ok, episode 3 : now when I try to play a sound, xmms says "check that your soundcard is properlyconfigured or that another program is not blocking the sound"
[06:20] <newbie001> soundray: that allows me to add or remove aplications. But I want to edit a personalized application I have already set.
[06:20] <hentai_jeff> thanks apok
[06:20] <belgarath_> Hi, anyone know a good url/wiki about acpi for laptops ???
[06:20] <Crane_> dinochopins: look at /etc/network/interfaces
[06:20] <dinochopins> Grummus, yes.. exactly not the problem :)
[06:20] <Crane_> dinochopins: That is where you can set up a static IP
[06:20] <Flatline> tu
[06:21] <dinochopins> Crane_, ok.. will take a look at it
[06:21] <soundray> newbie001: I'm not sure what you mean -- can you rephrase?
[06:21] <stefg> flac: check that alsa is configured as output for xmms,
[06:21] <Flatline> Hello, I'm having a problem with ym mounted system all of a sudden. is anyone free to help?
[06:21] <flac> stefg: yes it's ok ... I tried OSS and esound too .. same result
[06:21] <newbie001> Ok, I have set mplayer with some custom parameters as the application that opens avi files...
[06:21] <Enverex> How do you get network manager to NOT connect to a Wireless point or to detatch from one if it's already connected? It only seems to want to let me disable roaming mode if I specify an access point :(
[06:21] <soundray> Flatline: describe the problem and hope for the best.
[06:21] <Flatline> for months now, my windows partition has been loading with read/write access fine as /media/sda1
[06:21] <newbie001> I want to change some parameters now.
[06:21] <Crane_> dinochopins: your DNS servers should be listed in /etc/resolv.conf  if you are connected to a netwwork
[06:22] <Flatline> but now, i turn on my pc, and its mounted and shows as /media/sda1 but theres nothing in it...
[06:22] <dedi> are there common problems with x window system hanging up when shutting down or starting without "single" command?
[06:22] <dinochopins> Crane_, hm... seems like it is the problem. Wait, I have broadcast address that is different from my IP's network
[06:22] <daemonize> is there a pyuic for qt4?
[06:22] <omnius> Enverex: I use Wicd instead of network manager, look it up in the forums
[06:22] <stefg> Flatline: check dmesg for file system panic messages
[06:22] <MetaBookfoziS> Is there anybody who knows the solution for the broken powernowd thingy in feisty
[06:22] <Flatline> stefg, how would i do that?
[06:22] <MetaBookfoziS> ?
[06:22] <newbie001> soundray:  Ok, I have set mplayer with some custom parameters as the application that opens avi files...
[06:22] <Enverex> MetaBookfoziS, Are you on a Core2Duo?
[06:22] <Crane_> your broadcast should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:23] <newbie001> soundray:  I want to change some parameters now.
[06:23] <MetaBookfoziS> No, i'm on Mobile Amd athlon xp
[06:23] <stefg> Flatline: dmesg | grep panic
[06:23] <Crane_> dinochopins: or xxx.xxx.xxx.255 rather
[06:23] <MetaBookfoziS> but it says cpu freequency scaling not supported
[06:23] <Crane_> dinochopins: <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:23] <Grummus> Crane_, that may not be correct
[06:24] <Enverex> MetaBookfoziS, Is it new? It may be like my C2D and it's just not supported yet
[06:24] <soundray> newbie001: so you go to the Open With tab as described and select "Custom command".
[06:24] <Flatline> stefg, nothing is output :-
[06:24] <Flatline> lonewolf@lonewolf-kubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep panic
[06:24] <Flatline> lonewolf@lonewolf-kubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep panic
[06:24] <Flatline> lonewolf@lonewolf-kubuntu:~$
[06:24] <daemonize> where can I find pyqt-tools for qt4?
[06:24] <Crane_> Grummus: oh my bad
[06:24] <aubade> E6320 working fine here, more a matter of the mainboard is supported.
[06:24] <compengi> how do i change the language interface of my whole system?
[06:24] <dedi> anyone got ati drivers work on feisty x64? googled all sites didnt work
[06:24] <aubade> of=if*
[06:24] <Grummus> dinochopins, do you have a /24 network on your "live" ip?
[06:24] <dinochopins> Crane_, yes
[06:24] <MetaBookfoziS> no, it's very old (2.5 year) and it's worked well without anything before (in breezy,dapper,edgy feisty)
[06:24] <HellioN> Whoot.
[06:25] <dinochopins> Grummus, yes
[06:25] <stefg> Flatline: please does 'mount' say it's mounted rw ?
[06:25] <MetaBookfoziS> so something changed
[06:25] <swatF1RESTORM> Crane_: could you possibly help me with getting my network correctly setup? I'm 94% into a fresh install.
[06:25] <khin> hi i have a question, i just bought a new laptop. how do i know whether it is a 64 bit system or not. is it just, if its dual core then its a 64 bit system?
[06:25] <swatF1RESTORM> Crane_: if your too busy that's understandable
[06:25] <Flatline> no it doesnt. i cant see it in the list
[06:25] <dinochopins> Crane_, i think I have problem here => iface eth0 inet static and iface eth0:1 inet static
[06:25] <Flatline> stefg, no it doesnt. I cant see it in the list
[06:25] <Grummus> dinochopins, then Crane_ was right, but since CIDR you can't rely on /24 that often anymore
[06:25] <dinochopins> Crane_, 2 adressess ? How come it doesn't show up in Gnome networking tool ?
[06:26] <craigbass1976> I want to capture, via usb, streaming video from my camcorder.  Anyone done this?
[06:26] <stefg> Flatline: so apparently it's not mounted
[06:26] <craigbass1976> I've got a web cam working, but the picture sucks
[06:26] <soundray> khin: no. Early dual-cores were 32bit only. If it's a Core 2 Duo or any AMD dual core, it will run amd64.
[06:26] <dinochopins> Grummus, CIDR ?
[06:26] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: I can. but I am about to leave my desk for a couple hours.
[06:26] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: I will be glad to help when I return though
[06:27] <Grummus> dinochopins, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing
[06:27] <khin> and how do i get the specs on the system in ubuntu
[06:27] <dinochopins> Grummus, what is CIDR ?
[06:27] <dinochopins> Grummus, ah... ok. will take a look at that
[06:27] <swatF1RESTORM> Crane_: I actually think I'll wait. Hit me up when you get back, if you can remember and if I'm on :-p
[06:27] <newbie001> soundray: that allows me to add a new command, but I want to edit an existing command.
[06:28] <omnius> khin: System>Harware Information
[06:28] <dyrne> khin: you can look at things in /proc like 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and /proc/meminfo
[06:28] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: Cool I will be glad to be sure to look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html for some good reading
[06:28] <Crane_> Be back in a bit
[06:28] <neverblue> can I (via cli) change a screen's (ihave duals) res and depth manually?
[06:29] <Flatline> stefg, so why would that explain the directory being there? im using the auto ntfs-mounter installed via automatix 2.
[06:29] <soundray> newbie001: so add the correct command and remove the old one afterwards.
[06:29] <stefg> !automatix | Flatline
[06:29] <ubotu> Flatline: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:29] <Bogaurd> I use a little script to train my spamassassin... I got it off the net ages ago, can someone help me decode what a line of it does?
[06:30] <mobutu> 10 people are goign to type !automatix | Flatline now
[06:30] <Flatline> stefg, I'll brb, If you're still here when i get back ill discuss it with you then.
[06:30] <ironfroggy> maybe this is the wrong place
[06:30] <ironfroggy> but whats wrong with the openclipart.org website?
[06:30] <newbie001> soundray: yes, the problem is I don't remember the old parameters, I want to keep them. I was looking for a way to at least read what the old command was. I only know it is mplayer, but I don't know the parameters
[06:31] <DVS01> my systray stopped working properly. programs that show up in it no longer do (such as skype), and wine's systray ends up being its own window. also, the network manager disappeared from the systray. why would this happen and how can i fix it?  this is in gnome, using ubuntu feisty
[06:32] <soundray> newbie001: perhaps you'll find it if you search with this command in terminal (cd ~ first if you aren't already there): 'for i in .g* ; do grep -r $i mplayer ; done'
[06:32] <stefg> DVS01: try ##gnome?
[06:32] <DVS01> will do, thanks
[06:32] <soundray> Bogaurd: nobody knows if they can help you before you quote the line
[06:33] <Bogaurd> :)
[06:33] <lethu> DVS01, that can happen if you removed directly or indirectly the panel utilities
[06:33] <soundray> newbie001: sorry, got it the wrong way round
[06:33] <Bogaurd> the line is 'set -- "$source"/*' and also 'if [ -f "$1" ] '
[06:33] <heroin> ok i have a 40GB harddisk iam partitioning it as such: #1 PRIMARY 30GB BOOTFLAG F EXT3 / >> #5 logical 1.0GB f swap swap >> #6 logical 10.0GB f fat
[06:34] <lethu> DVS01, right click on the panel then --> Add to panel
[06:34] <heroin> will this work?
[06:34] <soundray> newbie001: for i in .g* ; do grep -r mplayer $i ; done
[06:34] <neverblue> can I (via cli) change a screen's (ihave duals) res and depth manually?
[06:34] <soundray> Bogaurd: is it a shell script?
[06:34] <Bogaurd> soundray: yeah.
[06:35] <Bogaurd> i guess $1 is the first arg
[06:35] <khin> so, even though my proc is intel core 2, when it matters i run the amd64 versions of everything?
[06:35] <Bogaurd> but i'm not sure
[06:35] <newbie001> soundray: that's a good one. I tried it but didn't work
[06:35] <lethu> DVS01, I guess what you are missing is the Notification Area under the utilities Section etc..
[06:35] <DVS01> yes
[06:35] <DVS01> just found that out
[06:35] <DVS01> thanks lethu
[06:35] <lethu> DVS01, yw
[06:35] <tokj> hi all
[06:35] <Paradoxx> How do I extract the contents of a zip file at the command line?
[06:36] <mjr> unzip foo.zip
[06:36] <Paradoxx> mjr: thx
[06:37] <newbie001> soundray: found something now... seraching everything
[06:37] <leonel> is there  any  openJDK  ubuntu TEAM ?
[06:38] <khin> this is correct, if i have intel core 2 i should run amd64 versions of stuff?
[06:38] <soundray> Bogaurd: I've never got the hang of set. Here's the documentation: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#SEC58
[06:39] <Bogaurd> thanks :)
[06:39] <DVS01> lethu: why do some icons go into the panel, and some are in the notification area?
[06:39] <DVS01> what is the effective difference between the two?
[06:39] <newbie001> soundray: thank you!
[06:40] <soundray> Bogaurd: if [ -f "$1" ]  means "if the first parameter passed to the script is the name of an existing file"
[06:40] <newbie001> soundray: good bye!
[06:40] <drivera90> Hi. I broke my X Server.
[06:40] <drivera90> Help.
[06:40] <shane634> drivera90, how did you break it?
[06:40] <Bogaurd> soundray: great, thanks :D
[06:40] <neverblue> drivera90, did you backup?
[06:41] <drivera90> shane634, I can't switch between windows, use the "Show desktop" button on my bar thingie, and the maximize/minimize/close buttons (and their bar) are gone.
[06:41] <drivera90> I also can't move windows around.
[06:41] <dyrne> drivera90: alt-ctrl-f2 then login then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choos vesa a driver and the rest just go with defaults then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart  <--generic answer
[06:41] <soundray> Bogaurd: man test to find about -f and friends (options to [ )
[06:41] <xvmde> hi
[06:41] <Bogaurd> thanks :)
[06:41] <xvmde> i've a vlan problem
[06:41] <neverblue> wow dyrne thats a complex response
[06:42] <neverblue> drivera90, are you trying to setup compiz/beryl?
[06:42] <shane634> that is what needs to be done none the less
[06:42] <xvmde> hi, i've a VLAN problem
[06:42] <xvmde> can you help me ?
[06:42] <soundray> drivera90: your X is probably fine. Your metacity window manager has crashed.
[06:42] <xvmde> the summary of my problem is here
[06:42] <xvmde><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:42] <shane634> xvmde, what is VLAN?
[06:43] <neverblue> can I (via cli) change a screen's (ihave duals) res and depth manually? my second monitor is falling to a res not specified in my xorg.conf
[06:43] <Bogaurd> ok soundray, do you think the set command would just be setting the $1 paramater assuming no parameters are specified when the script is called?
[06:43] <xvmde> shane634, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7268
[06:44] <shane634> xvmde, yes i just looked sorry i can't help with that
[06:44] <sdf_> how can i copy any file at location 1 and paste it in location 2 with terminal?

[06:45] <Flatline> what is the correct syntax to mount a harddrive?
[06:45] <soundray> Bogaurd: it's possible...
[06:46] <drivera90> Alright. That alt+ctrl+f2 thing wasn't cool.
[06:46] <Xyhthyx> sdf_: cp -v <file> <location-path>
[06:46] <sdf_> thanx
[06:46] <soundray> Bogaurd: yes, I think you're right. '--' just prevents $source from being interpreted as options, should it begin with a dash.
[06:46] <neverblue> drivera90, you missed alot since you were gone
[06:46] <shane634> drivera90, it never is lol
[06:46] <neverblue> you might want to scroll back up
[06:46] <ian13> my microphone won't work with ubuntu (speakers do) - could someone help me troubleshoot?
[06:46] <Bogaurd> ah
[06:46] <Bogaurd> excellent
[06:47] <Bogaurd> thanks for the help soundray
[06:47] <Bogaurd> :)
[06:47] <Xyhthyx> sdf_: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[06:47] <anton1> I just activated ATI  accelerated graphics driver from restricted drivers, now Desktop Effects stops working with message: The Composite extension is not available.. what can I do to solve this? thanks..
[06:47] <neverblue> ian13, did you turn the mic up?
[06:47] <drivera90> I don't know if I caught it. I pressed alt+ctrl+f2 and it all went black and I didn't see shit.
[06:47] <soundray> Bogaurd: I've learnt something new in the process, so thank you back ;)
[06:47] <drivera90> Unpleasant.
[06:47] <Bogaurd> hehe
[06:47] <sdf_> xyhthyx thank you very much
[06:47] <ian13> neverblue: clicking on the speaker icon on the panel - yes it is turned up and on on both of the card options (i only have one card though)
[06:47] <soundray> !language | drivera90
[06:47] <ubotu> drivera90: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:47] <Xyhthyx> drivera90: Ctrl+Alt+F7 returns you to your window manager.
[06:47] <neverblue> anton1, ubuntu guide (google it) will show you how to setup your drivers/effects
[06:47] <Bogaurd> soundray: now to work out how to modify this script so it'll take another argument and not die on me ;)
[06:48] <goban> have they considered changing the default theme from the ugly brown?
[06:48] <drivera90> Oh, that's nifty, Xyhthyx.
[06:48] <neverblue> ian13, what app are you "checking" it with?
[06:48] <Grummus> anton1, the ati driver does not support composite extension completly, you have to use xgl with ati card for desktop effects
[06:48] <anton1> neverblue: thanks
[06:48] <neverblue> anton1, np
[06:48] <ian13> neverblue: tried the sound recorder and skype
[06:48] <neverblue> ian13, ok, what device is your mic, plugged in? or your webcam?
[06:48] <soundray> Bogaurd: sorry, I'll have to leave you alone with this. The guys in #bash are helpful.
[06:49] <soundray> Bogaurd: good luck
[06:49] <bobbob1016> I'm trying to setup a TFTP server on Feisty, as part of a PXE server, and all the clients get a PXE error 32 error opening TFTP or something similar, does anyone know how I can make sure TFTP is running?
[06:49] <anton1> grummus: can I install xgl from synaptic ?
[06:49] <Bogaurd> soundray: no probs, thanks for your help! i'm sure i'll be able to get it working :)
[06:49] <Ronald|Laptop> I have a sasl problem related to postfix smtp auth. Log and configfile http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22006/
[06:49] <ian13> neverblue: my mic is just a headset, plugged into the front panel mic slot. the headphone slot works fine though.
[06:49] <Grummus> anton1, don't know, luckily i never had to :)
[06:50] <neverblue> ian13, maybe you need to plug that "mic input" in the front fo your case into the motherboar
[06:50] <neverblue> motherboard*
[06:50] <neverblue> it might not be setup yet...
[06:50] <anton1> grummus: <grin> at least I know what to google now .. xgl here I come.. thanks bro.. :)
[06:50] <neverblue> anton1, use the ubuntu guide
[06:50] <ian13> neverblue: sorry? i can confirm it has always worked fine from windows - or do you want me to try plugging it directly into the back?
[06:50] <neverblue> it will tell you how to do it all
[06:51] <anton1> neverblue: I'm opening it... me and my poor connection :)
[06:51] <ian13> neverblue: what will tell me?
[06:51] <aeiko_> Would this be the best channel to get help with setting up my modem?
[06:51] <neverblue> ian13, it worked in windows, and its setup the same way (physically) ?
[06:51] <ian13> neverblue: yes - same physical setup.
[06:51] <neverblue> aeiko_, if your using ubuntu :)
[06:51] <aeiko_> neverblue: And indeed I am.
[06:52] <neverblue> ian13, ok, so you may want to just try your back mic input, just to elimiate that the front my be broken
[06:52] <bobbob1016> I'm trying to setup a TFTP server on Feisty, as part of a PXE server, and all the clients get a PXE error 32 error opening TFTP or something similar, does anyone know how I can make sure TFTP is running?
[06:52] <neverblue> can I (via cli) change a screen's (ihave duals) res and depth manually? my second monitor is falling to a res not specified in my xorg.conf
[06:52] <ian13> neverblue: will do
[06:52] <JDahl> does the Gnome launcher add any working directories or other options to Openoffice Spreadsheet? The launch command is just " ooffice -calc %U" - what does %U do?  I am asking because oocalc crashes on python scripts when started from the command line,  but it works fine when I start oocalc from the menus
[06:53] <aeiko_> I'm having trouble with my modem. It's integrated in the hardware of my laptop.
[06:53] <neverblue> bobbob1016, it will use a port, you could portscan that system
[06:54] <aeiko_> For some reason it's not detecting my modem :(
[06:55] <Paradoxx> Is there a command to find out where a program is installed?
[06:55] <ian13> neverblue: sound recorder refuses to play, nor will it save (invalid parameters) - skype picked up no sound as before
[06:55] <JDahl> Paradoxx, which <program>
[06:55] <Paradoxx> JDahl: thx
[06:56] <neverblue> ian13, have you rebooted recently?
[06:56] <Grummus> neverblue, modern X server can change the resolution via software request without a complete restart, but i think they still can't change bit depth
[06:56] <LjL> Paradoxx: dpkg -L packagename, if you know the package but not the filename
[06:56] <JDahl> paradon, or possible dpkg -L <debian package>
[06:56] <J03L> hi everyone.
[06:56] <Flatline> do i need a wiblow$ disk to install it on vmware? or is there a pre-made image i can use?
[06:56] <aeiko_> Can anyone help me with a modem issue?
[06:56] <ian13> neverblue: yes, well, in the last 30mins
[06:56] <neverblue> Grummus, then how could I possibly change the res?
[06:56] <J03L> I want to know how can i set permissions in the windows partition, so i can create files while i'm on linux
[06:56] <ian13> neverblue: sound control seems to think i have two devices: Intel ICH5 (ALSA) and Realtek ALC650F (OSS)
[06:57] <neverblue> ian13, ok, so you should try and maybe use Skype, its good for recording, test using different devices
[06:57] <stefg> Flatline: you need a license, and a valid serial number and a CD
[06:57] <neverblue> use the ALSA
[06:57] <dr_willis> Flatline,  a premade vmware image of windows95/xp would not be 'legal' :)  not to say that they dont exist.
[06:57] <fr3ak> How do I fix my monitor my image is shaking
[06:57] <neverblue> fr3ak, hit it
[06:57] <h4wk0> Anyone ever used hamachi to connect to vnc?
[06:57] <J03L> I need to know how can i set permissions in the windows partition, so i can create files while i'm on linux
[06:57] <h4wk0> Or is there a tutorial somewhere
[06:57] <Flatline> dr_willis, thanks ;) care to um... explain where *hypothetically* of course..... where i might obtain ?
[06:57] <dedi> can i prevent that linux mount /dev/sda while booting?
[06:57] <ian13> neverblue: um, well, i tried all the options i had, but none worked. i have a realtek chipset, but there was no realtek or oss option there
[06:57] <fr3ak> neverblue, ok smart one i meen xorg.conf configuration...
[06:58] <angenoir> Hi
[06:58] <neverblue> fr3ak, use the ubuntu guide and follow your setup of the correct drivers
[06:58] <Grummus> neverblue, you could always cycle through the supported resolutions with alt-ctrl-+ and alt-ctrl--, if you want to change res via software google "XRandR"
[06:58] <lebecca> g
[06:58] <neverblue> google it
[06:58] <erstazi> when in Terminal Server Client, how do you switch to your desktop when you are full screen?
[06:58] <neverblue> yeah, XRandR gives me a seg fault
[06:58] <neverblue> i guess its a bug
[06:58] <LMJ> Hello the chan
[06:58] <J03L> I need to know how can i set permissions in the windows partition, so i can create files while i'm on linux
[06:58] <fr3ak> neverblue, sounds better
[06:58] <dr_willis> erstazi,  hmm i though that was the f11 key. or somthing with F11
[06:58] <fr3ak> ..
[06:59] <neverblue> hello the LMJ
[06:59] <dr_willis> J03L,  you set the umask and permissions when mounting a windows partition.
[06:59] <dr_willis> !ntfs
[06:59] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:59] <ian13> neverblue: so i thought it might be missing, but i dunno
[06:59] <erstazi> dr_willis, will try, thanks much
[06:59] <dr_willis> !windows
[06:59] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[06:59] <J03L> I'm sorry... how do i do that?
[06:59] <bobbob1016> neverblue, sorry, I was distracted, how do I do a portscan?
[06:59] <dr_willis> hmm what is that factoid.
[06:59] <dr_willis> J03L,  you using feisty?
[06:59] <J03L> Ubuntu
[06:59] <neverblue> ian13, the OSS is the sound you will want to fall back on, if nothing else works
[06:59] <dr_willis> J03L,  and what VERSION of ubuntu....
[06:59] <neverblue> but you should use ALSA
[06:59] <jarlath> Can anyone reccomend a wireless PCI card that works out of the box?
[06:59] <J03L> 6.06
[06:59] <LMJ> Samba 3.0.24 (smbd exactly) segfault/code dump/crash when i launch it ? Got a fresh Feisty x86_64 install, is that a famous bug ? is there a salution ?
[07:00] <neverblue> bobbob1016, in the Network Tools
[07:00] <neverblue> Grummus, any other ideas?
[07:00] <dr_willis> J03L,  you proberly need to manually edit the fstab file to allow the proper umask=option i think its umask=0000
[07:00] <ian13> neverblue: okay. skype doesn't seem to even offer that
[07:00] <J03L> I'm a total newbie in this... can u orient me a little please.
[07:00] <neverblue> ian13, what devices do you have in Skype?
[07:01] <J03L> where do i find this fstab ?
[07:01] <gcbdm> Any way I can install Ubuntu via Knoppix?
[07:01] <Grummus> neverblue, no sry, XRandR should work with recent X servers
[07:01] <neverblue> J03L, might be a good read for you --> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[07:01] <robokop>  J03L /etc/fstab
[07:01] <neverblue> Grummus, well, thanks anyways
[07:01] <J03L> ok
[07:01] <dr_willis> J03L,  the ubuntu wiki/forums and otehr sites detail what needs to be done in great detail.
[07:01] <UberPsyX> hi, bit of a newbie, how do i install programs that are .tar.gz?
[07:01] <ian13> ALSA (Intel ICH5 and USB Camera (i do have a webcam with a mic - but that doesn't seem to work either)) and OSS (/dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1)
[07:02] <J03L> thanks
[07:02] <dr_willis> UberDuper,  you mean from  'source' ?
[07:02] <ian13> neverblue: *ALSA (Intel ICH5 and USB Camera (i do have a webcam with a mic - but that doesn't seem to work either)) and OSS (/dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1)
[07:02] <dr_willis> UberDuper,  what program? instructions can vary.
[07:02] <robokop> UberPsyX: tar -xvf <tar file>
[07:02] <neverblue> use ALSA
[07:02] <fr3ak> neverblue, how to set my monitor frequency manually?
[07:02] <robokop> and then see the README
[07:02] <neverblue> you need to setup your webcam properly
[07:02] <abd> heyo all
[07:02] <UberPsyX> robokop ok thanks a lot
[07:02] <neverblue> have fun with google :)
[07:03] <haptiK> !kbuntu
[07:03] <neverblue> fr3ak, are you asking me?
[07:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kbuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:03] <ian13> neverblue: on another note, my computer busser wont work either when i send messages to /dev/speaker
[07:03] <haptiK> !kubuntu
[07:03] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[07:03] <fr3ak> neverblue,  i am i just saw my monitor configuration and i want to set hz configuration manually
[07:03] <neverblue> ian13, its probably not related...
[07:03] <neverblue> fr3ak, in xorg.conf
[07:04] <robokop> is there a way to restart x without losing all my open apps
[07:04] <Flatline> robokop, not taht i know of ;)
[07:05] <robokop> Flatline: tbh i know there is but dunno how :S
[07:05] <neverblue> robokop, nope
[07:05] <gcbdm> Any way I can install Ubuntu via Knoppix?
[07:05] <dr_willis> gcbdm,  not very esially
[07:05] <ian13> neverblue: i tried both of the ALSA again, but they didn't work
[07:05] <bobbob1016> neverblue, I scanned, from the computer I want to be the server (only ubuntu machine I have easily available) and it doesn't have tftp there, that means it isn't running, right?
[07:05] <Flatline> can i just say.... AMAROK RAPES.
[07:05] <neverblue> ian13, like I said, use ALSA, setup your webcam properly
[07:06] <nouri> Is it just me or is automounting usb devices broken in feisty?
[07:06] <diablos_raven> i need to find out why i cant change objects in a panel
[07:06] <neverblue> bobbob1016,  i dont know much about tftp, but I am sure it will be using a port to run its service
[07:06] <flac> Hi there
[07:06] <ian13> neverblue: well - speaking at my webcam doesn't seem to work either
[07:06] <abd> I'm playing mpeg on gxine properly , when I installed mplayer I get error to intialize video :O .. so anyone help me to play  .avi videos ?????
[07:06] <flac> i'm back with a new problem :)
[07:06] <neverblue> you should start by finding out what port it does use
[07:06] <flac> when I try to run a ound I get this message : ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
[07:06] <neverblue> ian13, thats why I said, you need to set it up properly
[07:07] <Lunar_Lamp> Where can I get a copy of the default .bashrc file in ubuntu? I don't want to create a new user, but messed mine up.
[07:07] <dr_willis> Lunar_Lamp,  /etc/skel perhaps
[07:07] <neverblue> can I (via cli) change a screen's (ihave duals) res and depth manually? my second monitor is falling to a res not specified in my xorg.conf
[07:07] <Lunar_Lamp> dr_willis, ofc! :-)
[07:07] <ian13> neverblue: set up what exactly? i don't know where any other settings would be
[07:07] <jburd> I have a problem with Ubuntu Feisty fawn freshly installed on a pentium 4 system.  I see the startup splash screen and for a split second the busy mouse pointer, but after that there is no display.  Any help is appreciated.  :-)
[07:08] <neverblue> ian13, does the webcam work?
[07:08] <neverblue> video...
[07:08] <jburd> It should alos be noted that display was visible earlier.
[07:08] <ian13> neverblue: i dont believe so
[07:08] <flac> jburd: which video card ? no errors ? does it return to console or just crash ?
[07:08] <neverblue> ian13, then setup that and you should probably have a working mic
[07:08] <jburd> it doesn't crash. it shows me a blank screen.
[07:08] <bobbob1016> can anyone help me with a TFTP problem I'm having on Feisty?
[07:08] <jburd> the video card is an intel 845GV built in.
[07:08] <neverblue> as for not setting it up, you will probably be using OSS
[07:08] <StarkD> Hi! Trying to install feisty but it crashes at step 5 of 7. Is it possible to use the text-based GNU/Linux installer instead? Or any other ideas?
[07:08] <jburd> no errors
[07:09] <ian13> neverblue: it is an unbranded camera for which i only have a windows driver. i personally see using my microphone socket as more suited
[07:09] <dr_willis> StarkD,  the live cd cant do a text based install. use the alternative cd for that.
[07:09] <jburd> i should tell you i enabled "accessible login" in gdm-setup before this happened.
[07:09] <drif> does kde support something similiar to fluxbox ExecCommand?
[07:09] <jburd> and a different greeter that presents a user list.
[07:10] <jburd> flac: What could be the problem?
[07:10] <savetheWorld> Hi all - I'm adding a user account that runs a special program for the user instead of a shell.  My problem is I can't seem to set the account password to be blank.  Can anyone point me to a clue? (PS - this is normally easy to do in most *NIX/Linuxen)
[07:10] <neverblue> ian13, then you need to test settings with your OSS
[07:10] <flac> jburd: I really don't know ...
[07:10] <ian13> neverblue: i have tried both OSS also in skype, and neither worked
[07:10] <neverblue> you can change settings in the app (Skype) and in the sound manager (speaker icon on the panel)
[07:10] <StarkD> dr_willis: OK too bad. I'm on a slow connection here. If I partition manually how big should the swap be and which filesystem?
[07:10] <savetheWorld> !password
[07:10] <ubotu> Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords
[07:10] <neverblue> also lsusb and lspci might help alot
[07:11] <OlliK> Is there any howto/gui how can I make my Kubuntu into Ubuntu (how to install / setup gnome?)
[07:11] <neverblue> commands to find your installed devices
[07:11] <flac> jburd: try to look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:11] <jburd> all right.
[07:11] <jburd> just a second.
[07:11] <ian13> neverblue: where do i enter these commands? terminal?
[07:11] <dr_willis> StarkD,  i always use 512mb swap - it alld epends on the system
[07:11] <neverblue> yes
[07:11] <StarkD> dr_willis: which filesystem? not ext3 is it?
[07:11] <neverblue> the rest is upto you
[07:11] <mon^rch> what's the command to become root again please?
[07:11] <neverblue> sudo su
[07:11] <dappis> StarkD, put your swap to roughly the same size as your RAM (256-1024MB usually)
[07:12] <OlliK> A question: In ubuntu (gnome), is it possible to set the background color of menus separatedly? In KDE it is not (if you change menu background color, you'll change something like button colors etc at same time, which is annoying, that's why I want to switch to ubuntu)
[07:12] <dr_willis> StarkD,  the swap parttion dosent use ext3 its 'swap' filesystem i guess. ya can say
[07:12] <peepsalot> i know about ls -a, but how can i ls _only_ hidden files?
[07:12] <mon^rch> ty
[07:12] <ian13> neverblue: would you like a paste of the data?
[07:12] <jburd> flac: nothing suspicious.
[07:12] <neverblue> ian13, no, as i said, the rest is upto you
[07:12] <StarkD> dr_willis, dappis: thank you! will try to do it manually
[07:12] <Desmaano> guyss, what causes my cycle redudancy check (CRC) error ?? Im trying to move a file to a home file server :\\
[07:12] <neverblue> i have my own issues to work on
[07:12] <flac> jburd: really strange ... I don't know what could have happen
[07:12] <ian13> neverblue: well, i don't know how this data in any way assists me
[07:13] <dappis> StarkD: it uses filesystem "swap". partitioning isn't too hard
[07:13] <SlimeyPete> Desmaano: hard disk failure or filesystem corruption
[07:13] <jburd> can i somehow end the gdm process and restart it in safe mode or something?
[07:13] <OlliK> If someone replies to me, please put my nick in front so I can see that the message is for me, here comes so many messages that I won't see your reply otherwise
[07:13] <jburd> because i don't think X is the problem.
[07:13] <Desmaano> SlimeyPete: filesystem corruption?
[07:13] <OlliK> Or send me a PM
[07:13] <jburd> the display goes blank after an initial flicker of the mouse pointer.
[07:13] <flac> jburd: you can start in safemode ( = single-user mode) directly in console
[07:13] <SlimeyPete> Desmaano: yeah. More likely to be a hard disk error though, in my experience.
[07:13] <savetheWorld> Does anyone know how to set up a user account with no password?
[07:13] <flac> if you have Grub installes
[07:13] <flac> -s+d
[07:14] <Desmaano> SlimeyPete: can't be, 2 brand new hdd's in raid1 array :\
[07:14] <dr_willis> savetheWorld,  edit the passwd file manually. (ick!) :) the user tool might have that option also.
[07:14] <Desmaano> and only a few files causes errors
[07:14] <SlimeyPete> Desmaano: just because they're new doesn't mean one of them isn't broken ;)
[07:14] <ian13> anyone else got any ideas on troubleshooting my microphone?
[07:14] <savetheWorld> dr_willis: willis that. no go
[07:14] <SlimeyPete> Desmaano: maybe it's something to with your RAID... that's not entirely implausible but I don't know much about RAID myself
[07:14] <savetheWorld> err *tried that.
[07:14] <flac> ian13: what's your pb ?
[07:15] <ian13> flac: pb?
[07:15] <Desmaano> but how is it possible only a few files causes errors?, the first 130 GiB i uploaded went perfect
[07:15] <flac> problem
[07:15] <jburd> i will try starting in single user mode
[07:15] <jburd> brb
[07:15] <jburd> thanks flac
[07:15] <ian13> flac: basically my microphone doesn't work. my headphones and speakers do.
[07:15] <SlimeyPete> Desmaano: my own fileserver currently has a failing hard disk and I get CRC errors, but not on all files. It seems to depend upon which part of the disk it's accessing
[07:15] <flac> Is your microphone sound  on ?
[07:15] <ian13> flac: and i am not too sure how to get them working
[07:16] <ian13> flac: yes
[07:16] <flac> I had this problem sometimes
[07:16] <Desmaano> If i add files now, they all work, just a few iso and rar files causing errors
[07:16] <flac> ian13: Your microphone sound is on in alsamixer
[07:16] <ian13> flac sound controler thinks i have two sound devices, an ibm and a realteck
[07:16] <SlimeyPete> Desmaano: I'd suggest running fsck on the filesystem that's producing the errors, at least. Then see where you can go from there.
[07:16] <flac> ian13: but have you looked in the graphical interface ?
[07:16] <Desmaano> SlimeyPete: fsck doesnt return any errors
[07:17] <flac> ian13: I had this problem, the graphical inteface interferred ...
[07:17] <neverblue> i have just setup my system to run duals, I am having an issue with changing the res on the second screen (SiS 300 + ATI Rage), I edited my xorg.conf to only have "higher" res, but its falling on 800x600, anything I can do to change it?
[07:17] <ian13> flac: in alsa the sound ))) icon shows and the mic bar is up to top
[07:17] <SlimeyPete> Desmaano: ah right. Dunno then, but it's definitely a disk/fs-related issue.
[07:17] <ian13> flac: i have only checked in the GUI
[07:17] <ian13> flac: is there (another!) interface for sound?
[07:17] <skymera> hi
[07:18] <gcbdm> Any way I can install Ubuntu via Knoppix?
[07:18] <flac> ian13: alsamixer in consoe
[07:18] <flac> ian13: console
[07:18] <Desmaano> aarghh, this error is slowing me down for few weeks allready :\
[07:18] <skymera> can someone help? when i booted it done a disk scan and 0.6% of my files died!? what is that????
[07:18] <Grisha> hello, can someone tell me the name of the dock bar which is an imitation of the one in MacOS X?
[07:19] <Desmaano> !crc
[07:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:19] <ian13> flac: there it shows Intel ICH5, Realtek ALC650F, [Playback]  Capture All, Mic [dB gain=12.00]
[07:19] <shane634> Grisha, kiba dock
[07:19] <Desmaano> Anybody have experience with crc errors?
[07:19] <Grisha> shane634, thanks
[07:19] <skymera> can someone help? when i booted it done a disk scan and 0.6% of my files died!? what is that????
[07:19] <flac> ian13: it seems OK ...
[07:19] <ian13> flac: there is also a micboost and micselect
[07:20] <flac> ian13: micboost should be on, but not on top
[07:20] <Grisha> skelter, how did you shutdown last time?
[07:20] <SlimeyPete> skymera: what do you mean "died"
[07:20] <SlimeyPete> ?
[07:20] <ian13> flac: micboost looks off
[07:20] <ian13> flac: no idea how to change that
[07:21] <skymera> slimey - it does the boot screen and scans my disk, it fails and says some of my files died. im guessing there system onesd as my progs dont work
[07:21] <Grisha> skymera, how did you shutdown last time?
[07:21] <skymera> i am puzzled
[07:22] <neverblue> i have just setup my system to run duals, I am having an issue with changing the res on the second screen (SiS 300 + ATI Rage), I edited my xorg.conf to only have "higher" res, but its falling on 800x600, anything I can do to change it?
[07:22] <SlimeyPete> skymera: boot a live cd (e.g. the ubuntu one) and see if you can access the partition from there
[07:22] <skymera> i had to abort.
[07:22] <skymera> my ubuntu disk is corrupt. i downloading again
[07:22] <flac> ian13: I'll find it ... have you a sound icon on left top of your screen ?
[07:22] <meeeeeee> Question - is there a way to probe my onboard graphics to see its max res? I know my screen can go to 1600x1200
[07:22] <lagrimo_> my somone help, please?
[07:22] <ian13> flac: yes
[07:23] <flac> ian13: (right top...)
[07:23] <flac> try ti get in there
[07:23] <skymera> should i reinstall ubuntu?
[07:23] <Grisha> it seems that you problem is because of Improper shutdown...
[07:23] <flac> ian13: double click and there you can configure reconrding stuff I think
[07:23] <flac> ian13: try changing things in there
[07:23] <SlimeyPete> meeeeeee: how much memory is allocated to your onboard graphics? if it's got 32MB or more then it almost certainly does 1600x1200.
[07:23] <meeeeeee> additional - max res or available resolutions?
