[15:51] <korcan> I had this issue in the past and don't remember how I fixed it...  I think it was something with acpi
[15:52] <ikonia> DarkKnight: sudo rm -f DarkKnight\'09

[15:52] <BeerSerc> Hi there. I want to make the Desktop not-usable for storing files. ideally, the Desktop folder would totally vanish from /home/username. how would I do that?
[15:52] <ikonia> BeerSerc hiding it is hard, just make it read only
[15:52] <digitalvaldosta> well that's only single user mode. Will I still be able to load X by typing startx and the other users be able to do their thing as usual or will i have to restart and do the other option?
[15:52] <ty> you want to make your home folder your desktop?
[15:52] <DarkKnight> ikonia; http://paste.ubuntu.com/80375/
[15:53] <truebosko> Can anyone recommend how I can check if a hard drive is faulty (or installed correctly) when installing Ubuntu? It keeps crashing saying an I/O error on the copying files... of install

[15:53] <ty> Beersec?
[15:53] <ikonia> DarkKnight what about that ?
[15:53] <BeerSerc> ikonia: that would be better than nothing, but isnt there a way to hide it?
[15:53] <gumpish> How can I find out what device my modem is mapped to? (eg, ttys0, ttys1...)
[15:53] <DarkKnight> u see there r two files...one is Samisty'09 amd other is Samisty.....i have to remove only Samisty'09
[15:53] <BeerSerc> ty: no
[15:53] <ikonia> BeerSerc not really not at a file system level
[15:53] <BeerSerc> ty: I want it to be unusable
[15:53] <DarkKnight> ikonia; wats that command u gave me...i didnt get u
[15:53] <ty> hm
[15:53] <ikonia> DarkKnight so remove Samisty'09 asI showed you
[15:53] <ty> let me see
[15:53] <livingdaylight> hi
[15:53] <snek> truebosko: have you let the install cd scan the cd for defects?
[15:53] <ikonia> DarkKnight: thats the exact command you need
[15:54] <ty> kill nautilus
[15:54] <BeerSerc> ?
[15:54] <ty> but you wont be able to open any folders
[15:54] <livingdaylight> can someone tell me how i i access Linux from an xp machine? I installed Samba on Ubuntu
[15:54] <truebosko> snek: No, how do I do this? Actually, I think i downloaded the LiveCD, which just boots into the OS off the CD. Can I check it from there?
[15:54] <ikonia> BeerSerc: read only is the best your going to get I think
[15:54] <alarond> help pls. there's no sound at all on ubuntu. how do i re-install the codecs. google isn't throwing up anything helpful.
[15:54] <truebosko> my HD is being recognized and can be partitioned so I'm not sure that it has an issue
[15:54] <DrOni> livingdaylight: if you configured samba correctly your Ubuntu machine will show up in Windows 'network places'
[15:55] <snek> truebosko: i think even the LiveCD has a little start menu.. it should be in there
[15:55] <DrOni> alarond: are you sure it's a codec issue?
[15:55] <livingdaylight> DrOni: automatically? that means i havent' set it up properly it seems
[15:55] <BeerSerc> ikonia: hm, OK
[15:55] <usamahashimi> How can I determine the maximum download speed of my internet connection (DSL)?
[15:55] <DarkKnight> ikonia; wen i run the command...i get the output as its a directory..and so it doesn't delete it
[15:55] <snek> truebosko: the menu where you choose to boot the livecd, or install to harddrive.. there should be a 3rd option to scan the cd for defects
[15:55] <truebosko> snek: thanks, Im checking it out now
[15:55] <DrOni> livingdaylight: samba config is rarely setup correctly from install - I'll find you a how to link
[15:55] <alarond> DrOni: well i tried everything else. but still no sound. any suggestions?
[15:55] <ikonia> BeerSerc: you could do things like rebuild gnome to look at .Desktop int eh home dir that would hide it, but the work level for that is stilling
[15:55] <ikonia> DarkKnight: rm -rf
[15:56] <Windstone>  ---> hey, im new to this and tried to download thems - what i did was drag the downloaded content to mt theme window but it didnt work - can someone explain to me how to download and install a theme?
[15:56] <DrOni> alarond: is it possible you're using the wrong drivers? I need more details on what you've tried before I can determine what it isn't :/
[15:56] <livingdaylight> DrOni: i'd be grateful... most how-to's were outdated and didn't apply exactly to 8.10
[15:56] <ty> yes
[15:56] <berriop> How can I set swfdec in firefox??
[15:56] <ty> Windstone, i know how
[15:57] <arun_> can u tell me whats actually debian?
[15:57] <snek> question: is there a nicer firewall managent tool than firestarter? i find it a bit, well, rough around the edges and it tends to crash on occasion as well
[15:57] <DarkKnight> ikonia; okk got deleted...thanxx...for the command  sudo chmod -R 757   will this work on directories as well
[15:57] <ikonia> DarkKnight yup
[15:57] <BeerSerc> ikonia: yes it seems I have to live with the readonly thing... as long as my users dont store anything on the desktop, I am happy ...
[15:57] <DrOni> livingdaylight: yeah, the constant update cycle of Ubuntu can be like that - but the samba configs are but try this link : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605
[15:57] <ty> !tell arun_ about debian
[15:57] <truebosko> snek: thanks, I found it

[16:00] <reqqit> firefox 3.0 is to blame, worst release of $50m a year funded software EVER
[16:00] <reqqit> seriously, we should all ask for our google money back
[16:00] <truebosko> snek: so hmm, it said "found a defect in 1 file!" and then told me to reboot. Is there somewhere I can actually see what the error is?
[16:01] <reqqit> I changed my search engine on firefox to yahoo as a protest,  why should google pay them so much money, yeah, they get market share with FF2.0, then release FF3.0, biggest piece of crap ever. on top of that, google have to build chrome to fix things
[16:01] <berriop> reqqit: but swfdec may works better, how can i change it???
[16:01] <reqqit> aaand the idiots at firefox moan about it
[16:02] <outboard> Opera browser FTW
[16:02] <DrOni> I am a big fan of Opera, I can't wait for Chrome to come to Linux though
[16:02] <peepsalot> i have a messed up entry in my network manager for wired connections, and I'm not sure how to get rid of it.  when I plug in an ethernet cable, it tries to use a connection called "ifupdown (usbo0)" which doesn't work.  I added another Wired connection in the settings which works ok, but it always defaults to the wrong one
[16:02] <reqqit> berriop, I've given up, firefox routinely freezes and crashes, I just use opera for googling, firefox for redditing, and use flashblock
[16:02] <bazhang> !offtopic
[16:02] <bazhang> please chat about browsers in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:02] <outboard> we did some tests  Opera v's chrome and opera is faster
[16:03] <MidnightDevil> sup
[16:03] <MidnightDevil> i have no sound on my 8.10 system :s what can i do?
[16:03] <outboard> ok sorry
[16:03] <berriop> reqqit: so with opera this flash problem doesnt happend???
[16:03] <reqqit> bazhang, 80% of what you do on ubuntu is browser based, he has a problem with his, advising him to use opera and flashblock
[16:03] <alarond> DrOni: yes. metacafe on mozilla
[16:03] <peepsalot> when I try to delete the network connection, it says "Removing connection failed: ifupdown - connection delete not supported (read-only).."
[16:03] <reqqit> berriop, yeah, never had opera die on me once
[16:03] <Baba_B00ie> firefox is hung up in gnome. how do i get it's process id so i can kill it from  CLI
[16:03] <berriop> reqquit: or with epiphany??
[16:03] <DrOni> alarond: have you tried another browser?
[16:03] <MidnightDevil> Baba_B00ie,  ps -u username | grep firefox
[16:04] <alarond> DrOni: no. i'm trying it now.
[16:04] <Baba_B00ie> ty
[16:04] <ty> yes?
[16:04] <peepsalot> Baba_B00ie, i think "killall firefox" should also work
[16:04] <spirosvii> dfb
[16:05] <Baba_B00ie> MidnightDevil,    ps -u and kill with the id worked the best
[16:05] <DarkKnight> ikonia; hey thanx....got solved
[16:05] <livingdaylight> DrOni: that samba link is from 2005
[16:05] <MidnightDevil> good to know :)
[16:06] <peepsalot> so can someone help me with NetworkManager?
[16:06] <Baba_B00ie> MidnightDevil, i couldn't rememner the command. it's been a very long time since i had an app crap out on my linux box.. i mean like forever heh
[16:06] <livingdaylight> DrOni: sorry, june 2006, still quite old
[16:06] <ikonia> DarkKnight no problem
[16:06] <edju> In order to use gtkpod w/ an iPod nano, I have to format it to fat32.  I fired up gparted, but it reports that the nano is 900some MB, when it's an 8GB model.  How to format this thing?
[16:06] <arun_> can anyone help me with my doubt about port forwarding?
[16:06] <ty> yes
[16:06] <DrOni> livingdaylight: Yes, but the important stuff is still up to date such as the user and password creations
[16:06] <balachmar> Hi, I want to write data onto a SD card that I use with my camera. But the filesystem is write protected on my laptop, but not on my desktop. Any idea how to fix this?
[16:07] <DrOni> livingdaylight: selecting folders to share has become easier thanks to gui support, I assume you're using gnome?
[16:07] <livingdaylight> yes
[16:07] <fixxxermet1> Can anyone recommend a program to map / visualize a network diagram (similar to what Visio can do)?
[16:07] <CarpeDiem_> has anyone tried ubuntu on macbook 1st gen?
[16:08] <CarpeDiem_> last night i failed to connect wirless
[16:08] <Ohmu> All, I had got a WAP up and running using wicd (ibex host, xp guest). but its glitching.  its just disconnected, and emptied out the boxes for manual ip etc.  (i filled them in from doing ifconfig wlan0) but now that's not giving an ip.  what's going on?  can i just choose whatever values I want?  ie choose my own gateway ip mask etc
[16:08] <DrOni> livingdaylight: alright, well once you have a user with permissions setup (sudo smbpasswd -L -a your_username; sudo smbpasswd -L -e your_username) you can just right click any folder that you wish to share
[16:09] <Ohmu> does wicd _define_ ip, gateway etc values for wlan0, or does it need to match the existing values that are in /etc/network/interfaces?
[16:09] <MidnightDevil> what is the command to run alsa conf tool in ubuntu?
[16:09] <Acedip> well totem movie player and vlc are running on high menory and skipping
[16:09] <DrOni> livingdaylight: and select the appropriate option of course
[16:09] <Acedip> video output is really bad
[16:10] <gribouille> hi
[16:10] <ty> hello
[16:10] <livingdaylight> DrOni: but i must have don't something wrong coz i can't read ubuntu from xp on my laptop.
[16:10] <ty> with virtual box?
[16:10] <gribouille> is there a way to find dependency information between installed packages besides apt-cache (r)depends ?
[16:11] <ch3|> Hi all
[16:11] <Acedip> well, totem movie player and vlc are running on high menory and skipping video, ouput is really pathetic ??
[16:11] <ch3|> just a question..
[16:11] <ty> hello
[16:11] <Acedip> well, totem movie player and vlc are running on high menory and skipping/dragging video, ouput is really pathetic ??
[16:11] <ch3|> is there any section for spanish? or all is english?
[16:12] <DrOni>  livingdaylight: can you see your Ubuntu machine from your laptop?
[16:12] <bazhang> Acedip, with or without compiz
[16:13] <gribouille> is there a way to find dependency information between installed packages besides apt-cache (r)depends ?
[16:13] <Acedip> bazhang: with
[16:13] <bazhang> Acedip, install fusion-icon
[16:13] <alarond> bye
[16:13] <livingdaylight> DrOni: no, that's the point
[16:14] <DrOni> livingdaylight: alright, try 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart'
[16:14] <DrOni>  livingdaylight: then check that you have at least one folder being shared
[16:15] <lazukars> Anyone have a good "get screen color" app?
[16:15] <Acedip> bazhang: its a tray icon to manage compiz, i need that ?>
[16:15] <ch3|> somebody here is from M3X¡C0?
[16:15] <bazhang> Acedip, turn off compiz when watching movie, turn on when finished
[16:16] <and-ri>  hello, how to disable the automatic opening windows if plug in an USB-stick?
[16:18] <lazukars> How do you Get Color from the Screen?
[16:19] <bazhang> !es | ch3|
[16:19] <tyrchyus> hi
[16:19] <bazhang> ch3|, there maybe a mexico loco as well
[16:19] <tyrchyus> my theme changed alone...
[16:19] <jburd> Hi.  My sound has just stopped working.  I don't understand why this would happen.
[16:19] <and-ri> (05:10:45 PM) and-ri: hello, how to disable the automatic opening windows if plug in an USB-stick?
[16:20] <Promille> hey. is there any way installing the update which is avaiable automaticly?
[16:20] <NoiseEee> I've managed to get a desired folder on my Ubuntu Server mapped to my WinXP box.  However, some subfolders are appearing in the XP view that don't really exist on the Ubuntu box... they may very well be 'deleted' folders... named things like '1EYYTR~U' etc.
[16:20] <Odd-rationale> and-ri: in nautilus, go to edit --> preferences --> removable media... and uncheck the browse media when plugged check box.
[16:20] <NoiseEee> how can i not list those folders, or really 'delete' them.  by the way, this folder is RSYNCd from another machine
[16:20] <metho> can 8.10 be discussed here?
[16:21] <Promille> sure
[16:21] <bazhang> metho, yep
[16:21] <hendrixski> hey, I'm trying to write a script to back up a bunch of stuff at once... and it requires that I be able to enter a password on a new line... within said script.  Does anybody know how to do that?
[16:21] <metho> :)
[16:21] <hendrixski> for example   "mysqldump dbname -u username -p"   then somehow have the script automatically provide the password without prompting the user?
[16:21] <tyrchyus> sorry but my themes changed alone. is possible a qt4 problem?
[16:21] <Odd-rationale> hendrixski: like with sudo ?
[16:21] <bazhang> Promille, you mean bypass the update-notifier?
[16:21] <Promille> hey. is there any way installing the update which is avaiable automaticly?
[16:22] <jburd> So can someone show me how to debug this sound problem?
[16:22] <livingdaylight> DrOni: Thank You Amigo!
[16:22] <metho> i am new to bash scripting, can anyone tell me a website where i can find the basic information and hand full of useful already written script
[16:22] <Odd-rationale> hendrixski: add it to the sudoers file...
[16:22] <Promille> bazhang i mean so i dont forget to update everything, that it doesnt remind me that there is any avaible, just download and install them
[16:22] <Odd-rationale> metho: http://linuxcommand.org
[16:22] <hendrixski> Odd-rationale, well, I'm not using sudo in the script, it might be run automatically through a web-application, and I don't want to introduce bugs
[16:23] <ch3|> great..
[16:23] <hendrixski> I just want to enter a password for a database within a script
[16:23] <bazhang> Promille, manually then? you can turn off update-notifier and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:23] <Odd-rationale> hendrixski: hmm... idk then... maybe the command has an option to incude the password as a parameter... might want to chech the man page...
[16:23] <NoiseEee> those mysterious folders are NOT deleted folders... they're just not translating correctly.  ie: Ubuntu Server name: "2036035_ontario_inc.", xp name: "24N5WI~I"
[16:23] <ch3|> ubottu, bazhang , thanks for the tip
[16:24] <bazhang> !loco | ch3|
[16:24] <hendrixski> Odd-rationale, didn't see it there before, but I'll check again
[16:24] <Promille> bazhang: great! is there anyway to make it so it does that everytime i log in?
[16:24] <ty> bye people
[16:24] <hendrixski> oh, hey, look at that ... in addition to -p and then prompting for a password you can use --password=password
[16:24] <hendrixski> heh
[16:24] <metho> thanks for that linuxcommands.org website, looks promising
[16:25] <hendrixski> sorry
[16:25] <hendrixski> :-)
[16:25] <FloodBot2> hendrixski: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:25] <bazhang> Promille, sure; but that kind of defeats the idea of doing it manually
[16:25] <korcan> anyone have freezing issues with vmware and 8.04 server?
[16:25] <Odd-rationale> hendrixski: manpages FTW
[16:25] <Odd-rationale> :D
[16:25] <Promille> bazhang: thats the idea... i trust the suppliers of updates enough to do that
[16:26] <Promille> bazhang: isnt it to just make it as a script and copy it into the start-up folder(if there is any) ?
[16:27] <bazhang> Promille, sessions startup
[16:27] <eighty4> anyone know of a way to send a soundstream from OS X to Ubuntu?
[16:27] <hendrixski> Odd-rationale, yeah, I was thinking of solving the wrong problem. Trying to get a script to take a prompt and enter a password, the better problem was just not having that prompt in the first place :-p
[16:27] <and-ri> Odd-rationale:  thx, but my nautilus doesn't have such a entry. I solve it by using : settings->control Center->Peripherals->StorageMedia, chose Mounted Removable Medium and set 'do nothing' as AUTOACTION
[16:27] <Acedip> bazhang: how do i turn it off, i mean i've enabled few features like window switcher,desktop wall etc
[16:27] <Promille> bazhang.. ok great illt ry that.. thanks
[16:27] <bazhang> Acedip, the fusion icon is a switch to turn it on and off with an easy click
[16:28] <Odd-rationale> and-ri: ok. i think the actual path was Edit --> preference --> media --> browse meia when inserted...
[16:28] <bazhang> korcan, what version of vmware? does this happen with vbox as well
[16:28] <pronto> http://pronto185.com/linux/screens/other/12_04_08_02:02:48window.png how do i stop that from happening ?  it just started happing when i ssh
[16:28] <tmbigrigg> I think that I broke X on my 8.04 machine when I boot into Gnome I only get a black screen, If I login using my wife's profile Gnome works perfectly. Any ideas on how to copy her display settings/resolution to my profile?
[16:29] <korcan> bazhang, running latest esx
[16:29] <korcan> just installed yesterday
[16:29] <bazhang> korcan, 2.0?
[16:29] <Acedip> bazhang: but i cant see that swtich in fusion-icon, does changing the WM (to metacity) meaning swtiching off compiz
[16:29] <bazhang> Acedip, metacity means no compiz
[16:29] <Odd-rationale> tmbigrigg: have you tried selecting gnome from the gdm sessions menu?
[16:30] <GSMX> hey, what is a good usenet binary downloader for ubuntu?
[16:30] <korcan> esx 3i 3.5.0 build-123629
[16:30] <bazhang> !info pan
[16:30] <bazhang> GSMX, check pan
[16:30] <GSMX> bazhang: thanks, i will try it
[16:30] <Acedip> bazhang: ya..thanks..but i really dint get the relation between both, the video ouput and compiz, some link to study more of it
[16:30] <EmoBusinessman> it's /dev/sda!
[16:31] <EmoBusinessman> no just kidding it's /dev/sdc
[16:31] <EmoBusinessman> you may as well just guess which one it is man
[16:31] <ericjung> what's a good lightweight window manager for ubuntu???
[16:31] <korcan> bazhang, Esx Server 3i 3.5.0 build-123629
[16:31] <tmbigrigg> odd-rational: yes but after entering password it just goes to black screen
[16:31] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: fluxbox, openbox
[16:31] <fte> openbox
[16:31] <bazhang> ericjung, lxde fluxbox openbox there are a few
[16:31] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: which is more "lightweight"? I have a really old laptop
[16:32] <xnv> ericjung: xfce?
[16:32] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: ah.. that is a debated issue... :P
[16:32] <ericjung> :)
[16:32] <GSMX> bazhang: just what I needed, thank you very much
[16:32] <metbsd> i want to buy a netbook, but don't know which one to buy ! help!
[16:32] <ericjung> are any of them installable with Synaptic?
[16:32] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: if tiling window management is your style, then the lightest you can get is probably dwm
[16:32] <bazhang> ericjung, all
[16:32] <ericjung> metbsd: Samsung NC-10 has all the best reviews right now
[16:32] <Odd-rationale> tmbigrigg: try removing your ~/.dmrc file...
[16:32] <bazhang> metbsd, ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:33] <ericjung> bazhang: after installing any of them with synaptic, any configuration needs to be done or is it automatic??
[16:33] <tmbigrigg> Odd-rationale: what is .dmrc file used for?
[16:33] <Cteel> I would need help with installing the right driver for my Geforce4 mx 440 on ubuntu
[16:33] <bazhang> ericjung, some config with openbox iirc; lxde is quite easy to set up
[16:33] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: not much configuring, but you probably will want to customize...
[16:33] <Odd-rationale> tmbigrigg: session info...
[16:34] <tmbigrigg> thx. I will try it
[16:34] <Odd-rationale> tmbigrigg: you can open it to see what is in it...
[16:34] <ericjung> ok, i'll try DWM per Odd-rationale's recommenddation!
[16:34] <korcan> bazhang, any ideas?
[16:34] <Odd-rationale> bazhang: isn't lxde a desktop environment... that uses openbox as a window manager?
[16:34] <patbam> has anyone run into this problem with inkscape? http://ruphus.com/stash/argh.png i can't resize windows at all, so the app is essentially useless
[16:34] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: what is "tilting window management" mean?
[16:34] <bazhang> korcan, sorry I only use vbox
[16:35] <bazhang> korcan, you can check launchpad for bugs though
[16:35] <pronto> http://pronto185.com/linux/screens/other/12_04_08_02:02:48window.png how do i stop that from happening ?  it just started happing when i ssh
[16:35] <korcan> bazhang, thanks
[16:35] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: no window borders, no overlapping windows, just tiling...
[16:35] <norbert79> Good dayí
[16:35] <outboard> i am installing  and have got to the  " detecting hardware please wait"  loading module 'usb-storage' and it seems to have hung , it has been on that for over 10 mins  , is that normal ?
[16:35] <ericjung> oh... TILING
[16:35] <ericjung> I thought you said "tilting" :)
[16:35] <norbert79> outboard: Not really... You might consider removing that specific hardware untill the install is finished
[16:36] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: tiling wm's are actually pretty nice if you get used the them...
[16:36] <norbert79> outboard: Depends of course on the hardware...
[16:36] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: I think I'd like overlapping windows. which of those *does* have overlapping?
[16:36] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: even on a 14" screen?
[16:36] <outboard> there is no usb device curently attached to the computer
[16:36] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: openbox is my favorite... fluxbox is nice, as it comes ith a panel...
[16:36] <norbert79> outboard: Nothing is being attached to the USB then?
[16:36] <outboard> nope nothin
[16:37] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: tiling is pretty nice even with a 14" screen?
[16:37] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: yeah.
[16:37] <|unjustice|> Hi, runnning hardy on a laptop and I cannot get sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop path/filename/path command to work
[16:37] <norbert79> outboard: Are you sure, that both the installer was burned well, or the USB works flawless?
[16:37] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: although dwm would probably be not the best chioce for a starter in tiling wm...
[16:37] <norbert79> |unjustice|: You miss a space
[16:37] <norbert79> |unjustice|: sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop path/filename path
[16:37] <NoiseEee> I've mapped a Ubuntu Server drive successfully on my XP box.  The problem is, folders that end in "." (ie: "BigCompany Inc.") look like "AOFAM0~P" in XP.  Is there a way to correct this, on either side?
[16:37] <neptun> hello everybody!can someone help with a tuner tv ?
[16:38] <norbert79> |unjustice|: example: sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /tmp/test.iso /media/something
[16:38] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: if you want to start with tiling, try awesome or wmii
[16:38] <outboard> i have had no problems with the usb  and yes the disk was burned properly
[16:38] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: jebus there are sooo many !
[16:38] <|unjustice|> norbert79: tried with space...did not work, check pastebin?
[16:38] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: freedom of choices... :D
[16:38] <norbert79> |unjustice|: You might copy the address once again, just joined...
[16:40] <norbert79> outboard: You might adresss your replies directly, using the name before the reply. I might miss a few lines otherwise. Can you explain the exact step when the installer stops working?
[16:40] <|unjustice|> norbert79: http://pastebin.com/m6eb4d44e
[16:40] <MrCollins> I am following a guide and it tells me to navigate to the 'trunk' directory, I am using Intrepid, where is that directory
[16:40] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: now that i installed fluxbox, how do i "start" it?
[16:41] <aboSamoor> how can convert jpeg files to pdf ?
[16:41] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: choose fluxbox from the gdm sessions menu
[16:41] <Guest61851> why would you like to do that
[16:41] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: you may have to run "sudo update-menus" first...
[16:41] <LinuxApe> since upgrading to intrepid by cd/dvd burner doesn't recognize any media.  Any suggestions?
[16:41] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: also, read the ubuntu wiki on fluxbox...
[16:41] <NoiseEee> anyone with my q?
[16:42] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: what is gdm sessions menu?
[16:42] <sipior> aboSamoor: i believe ImageMagick groks pdf. you can try "convert foo.jpg foo.pdf" and see what happens
[16:42] <bazhang> ericjung, login window sessions
[16:42] <ikonia> NoiseEee if anyone knows the answer - they will answer, saying "anyone" won't make them respond
[16:42] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: when you logout... the login screen.. there is a sessions menu...
[16:43] <ericjung> oooo
[16:43] <outboard> norbert79 : small window , Title : installing system , detecting harware, please wait , progress bar at 90% , Loading modual 'usb-storage' for USB storage' ...
[16:44] <zanberdo> I'm trying out gnome on ubuntu for the first time (I'm a long time kde/kubuntu user though) and was hoping to find out firstly, what IRC client is generally used with gnome?
[16:44]  * jgoguen is away: Re-doing history notes...
[16:44] <bazhang> zanberdo, xchat/irssi/pidgin
[16:45] <sinbox> Hi, everytime I reboot I get a "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" window and I have to manually select the correct monitor, how can I make the change permanent?
[16:45] <carlf> Has anyone had any luck with the RocketRaid 2310 under 64-bit intrepid? Every time I load the module, the alarm on the card starts going off.
[16:46] <norbert79> outboard: you might switch to the command line interface, and give the command dmesg, or start gnome-terminal using alt+f2, and do the same...
[16:46] <zanberdo> bazhang: irrsi is a cli client, right?  And pidgin is of course an IM client, so I gather xchat would be the gui irc client, yes?
[16:46] <norbert79> outboard: the installer impacted to an error, and it is not able on solving it, but we can still find out (hopefully) what is causing the rror
[16:46] <Acedip> while getting the updates from net, can i save these updates somewhere and use them if i reintall
[16:47] <shiMMer> what is "~/."
[16:47] <Acedip> instead of downloading them the next time altogether
[16:47] <ikonia> Acedip: not really the best idea
[16:47] <ikonia> shiMMer: your home dir
[16:47] <zanberdo> another question I think you might have the answrt to. with kde I use katapult as a quick app launcher.  I understand gnome has a similar quick app launcher.  What is it called?
[16:47] <Acedip> ikonia: why
[16:47] <shiMMer> with ~ symbol?
[16:47] <ikonia> Acedip: any changes that conflict with the current updates will cause problems
[16:47] <ikonia> shiMMer: means your home dir
[16:48] <Odd-rationale> zanberdo: gnome-do
[16:48] <shiMMer> owh...ty bro
[16:48] <shiMMer> i continue learning linux
[16:48] <badawi> my internet is very slow under ubuntu, i already disabled ipv6 any ideas?
[16:48] <Odd-rationale> gnome-do > katapult

[16:52] <MrCollins> how do i get started troubleshooting /dev/video?
[16:52] <Odd-rationale> !downgrade | lipinski
[16:53] <fernanchel> Ok. I did'nt Know
[16:53] <XThief> How can i change an user password using the terminal?
[16:53] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: wow ! fluxbox rocks!
[16:53] <ericjung> thanks everyone for the advice
[16:53] <Odd-rationale> XThief: passwd
[16:53] <ericjung> how can i get the NetworkManager Applet to run in fluxbox?
[16:53] <MrCollins> !fluxbox
[16:53] <fernanchel> This seems too complicated for me
[16:54] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: do alt+f2 and run "gnome-nm-applet"
[16:54] <alessandro> ok
[16:54] <alessandro> entarre a los canales
[16:54] <jburd> I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and kernel 2.6.27-10.  After a recent update, my sound stopped working.  My sound card is an Intel HDA Conexant card.
[16:54] <XThief> Odd-rationale sudo passwd user newpassword?
[16:54] <fernanchel> Do you speak italian, Alesandro?
[16:54] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: hmm
[16:55] <alessandro> no
[16:55] <jburd> Sound works perfectly on OS X which is configured to dual-boot with Ubuntu.
[16:55] <XThief> he is speaking spanish
[16:55] <Odd-rationale> XThief: if you want to change the current users passwrod. just do `passwd`
[16:55] <alessandro> i dont speak italian
[16:55] <outboard> norbert79 : how do i break out of where it is , the installer still has control of the system ?
[16:55] <XThief> Odd-rationale but i dont want the current user
[16:55] <Odd-rationale> XThief: if you want to change another users password, then do `sudo passwd $USERNAME`
[16:55] <jburd> So it's definitely not hardware.  Can someone please offer some insight on this problem?  I've checked alsamixer and all levels are fine with playback not-muted.
[16:55] <Odd-rationale> XThief: and you need to have sudo rights...
[16:55] <norbert79> outboard: Told you already... Press either Ctrl+Alt+F1 or use Alt+F2
[16:56] <fernanchel> "Alessandro" seems an italian name
[16:56] <jburd> It's weird how sound was working just a few minutes ago before I rebooted my computer.
[16:56] <MrCollins> jburd, when you play mp3 with say audacious, is the equalizer visualization going or not?
[16:56] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: did it work?
[16:56] <zeid><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:56] <alessandro> yes alessandro is a italian name
[16:56] <outboard> must have missed that ctrl +alt + f1
[16:56] <XThief> Odd-rationale it worked, thanks!
[16:57] <alessandro> but im peruvian
[16:57] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: i didn't try it. I want to learn how to automate that with either a menu item or shortcut, so I'm reading the wiki
[16:57] <jburd> MrCollins: Yes, it's going on.  I can see visualization as well and I can also seek through the song.  However, I'm unable to hear any output.
[16:57] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: i.e., i don't want to have to press Alt-F2 "gnome-nm-applet" everytime I login
[16:57] <Odd-rationale> ericjung: add "gnome-nm-applet &" to the ~/.fluxbox/startup file
[16:57] <norbert79> alessandro: I think they have someone from Peru too... Join ubuntu-es for generic Espanol.
[16:57] <fernanchel> Ok. I have to go out. It has been a pleasure to chat with you
[16:57] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: jk
[16:57] <ericjung> Odd-rationale: ok
[16:58] <shiMMer> i enter this command n i got an error
[16:58] <shiMMer> ~/.fluxbox/overlay
[16:58] <KillGuta> how do I switch beetween desktops?
[16:58] <shiMMer> bash: /home/zer0/.fluxbox/overlay: No such file or directory
[16:58] <jburd> I tried booting the 2.6.27-8 kernel, but it still doesn't work.  What could be the problem?
[16:58] <MrCollins> jburd which mixer are you using in System -> Prefs -> Sound ??
[16:58] <KillGuta> I mean an keyboard shortcut
[16:59] <shiMMer> i can use mouse scroll to go to another desktop
[16:59] <jburd> MrCollins: Everything is on autodetect.
[16:59] <alessandro> so the chanel..were is it?
[16:59] <Pici> alessandro: escribe /join #ubuntu-es
[16:59] <jburd> sound capture says it's using "ALSA", default mixer tracks device: "Capture AlSA PCM on front:0 (Conexant analog)..."
[17:00] <outboard> norbert79 : hung going to the command line now  , loading please wait ..... ,
[17:00] <MrCollins> jburd switch the Sound and Music section to your sound cards module
[17:00] <MrCollins> jburd are you using the front headers?
[17:00] <jburd> Nope
[17:00] <jburd> This is a notebook
[17:00] <norbert79> outboard: did you switch to your CLI console mode? You can switch between the virtual terminals using Ctrl+Alt+Fx
[17:01] <znik> i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop tarckpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ?
[17:01] <norbert79> Fx means F1-F12
[17:01] <norbert79> outboard: Find the command line
[17:01] <lxuserNewbie> sound capture way too low with my "HDA Intel STAC92xx Analog" does anyone know make it lauder?
[17:01] <alessandro> i write /join #ubuntu-es in terminal?
[17:01] <alessandro> or where?
[17:01] <Pici> alessandro: No, write it right here, where you are typing to me.
[17:01] <shiMMer> how to set wallpaper on fluxbox?
[17:02] <jburd> Ok.  Choosing the right output device and setting PCM output to max works now MrCollins :-)  Thank you for helping out. :-)
[17:02] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: use feh. or xsetroot
[17:02] <alessandro> to here
[17:02] <alessandro> ?
[17:02] <bazhang> yes.
[17:02] <MrCollins> jburd, no problem. I wish someone would help me with my problem now :)
[17:02] <norbert79> alessandro: Just click the channel's name... #ubuntu-es
[17:02] <norbert79> alessandro: right vclick, and JOIN
[17:02] <jburd> MrCollins: What is the question?
[17:03] <znik> bazhang:  i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop tarckpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ?
[17:03] <bitsbam> lo there all
[17:03] <MrCollins> jburd, I have a Logitech webcam and I want to set it up so I can use it to video chat, but it does not work
[17:03] <paul68> I saw it once but where can you create applets in ubuntu
[17:03] <johannes_> hi, im using kubuntu 8.10 does one of you know a repository, I can use to install the new nvidia 180.08 driver?
[17:03] <alessandro> in channels?
[17:03] <MrCollins> jburd I am trying to troubleshoot /dev/video0 but I do not know what permissions to pass to it and etc etc......
[17:03] <ericjung_> Odd-rationale: gnome-nm-applet isn't the right command it seems
[17:04] <ericjung_> Odd-rationale: I can start other apps in fluxbox with your suggestion but not gnome-nm-applet
[17:04] <jburd> MrCollins: Have you been able to capture video with this Webcam on Ubuntu before?
[17:04] <ericjung_> Odd-rationale: indeed, ALT-F2 doesn't do anything in fluxbox either
[17:04] <DrOni> johannes: install 'Envy-NG', if it doesn't have the latest drivers just download them from the Nvidia site
[17:04] <Odd-rationale> ericjung_: maybe it was just nm-applet...
[17:04] <Odd-rationale> i forgot...
[17:04] <shiMMer> i type xsetroot on terminal n my desktop got probs
[17:04] <johannes_> DrOni thx
[17:04] <shiMMer> how to fix??
[17:04] <ericjung_> Odd-rationale: I think ALT-F2 is gnom e only
[17:04] <Odd-rationale> ericjung_: well, there is is fbrun...
[17:05] <ericjung_> Odd-rationale: what is that?
[17:05] <MrCollins> jburd, yes the weird thing is, on the Ubuntu livecd, it works....
[17:05] <znik>  i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop trackpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ?
[17:05] <ash1> hello, how do I use the inbuilt Bluetooth facilities of my HP laptop in Ubuntu (Hardy)?
[17:05] <zanberdo> ok, another kde-to-gnome question: the default configuration for konsole is to colorize items such as directories and files flagged as executable, but it appears that gnome terminal does not.  How do I enable coloriztion of file entries/directories/etc with gnome terminal?
[17:05] <truebosko> Setting up partitions, a  simple setup of: / (ext3) for ubuntu install, swap, and /home (ext3) for rest is perfectly ok right?
[17:06] <badawi> truebosko: size?
[17:06] <truebosko> 600gigs~
[17:06] <ash1> hello, how do I use the inbuilt Bluetooth facilities of my HP laptop in Ubuntu (Hardy)?
[17:06] <Odd-rationale> ericjung_: fbrun is the run dialog for fluxbox.
[17:07] <jburd> Wow, weird.  Which software are you trying to use to configure and video chat with?  Which kernel are you currently running?
[17:07] <jburd> @ MrCollins
[17:07] <ericjung_> ericjung: how to start it?
[17:07] <MrCollins> jburd, huh?
[17:07] <badawi> if / and /home are in the hundred gigs size u should be aok
[17:07] <carlf> Has anyone had any luck with the RocketRaid 2310? Every time I load the kernel module, the alarm on the card starts going off.
[17:07] <MrCollins> jburd, kopete
[17:08] <shiMMer> i type xsetroot on terminal n my desktop got probs.how to fix?
[17:08] <MrCollins> jburd the latest kernel for Intrepid
[17:08] <bug2000> Is there a chance Wubi can fail and ruin the host?
[17:08] <Odd-rationale> ericjung_: i thought the defalt keybinging was alt+f2, but i guess it is something else... but you can bind fbrun to anykey you want...
[17:08] <badawi> shiMMer: logout and login
[17:08] <bazhang> bug2000, define ruin
[17:08] <shiMMer> is that skill or trick/cure???
[17:09] <znik>  i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop trackpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ?
[17:09] <DrOni> ash1: if your bluetooth adapter was detected and installed properly you'll find the options for it under the system settings menu
[17:09] <bug2000> bazhang: Get data currapted / lost.
[17:09] <shiMMer> anyway,i try
[17:09] <lxuserNewbie> does anyone what's the problem with my soundcard? the capture voice too low even I set to 100% in recording tab
[17:09] <ericjung_> Odd-rationale: I'll try fbrun and be right back
[17:09] <ash1> DrOni: looks like the adapter wasn't detected
[17:09] <bazhang> bug2000, not likely from the ubuntu perspective, not sure about windows though; you can check launchpad to see if there are any such bugs
[17:09] <znik> my xorg.conf is also not showing the input devices part
[17:09] <DrOni> ash1: well I can't help you then, sorry :(
[17:09] <bazhang> bug2000, wubi is more of a demo imo
[17:10] <johannes_> envyng doesnt list the newest drivers, can I change that?
[17:10] <nw2190> Hi, does anyone know how to get higher screen resolutions in Ubuntu 8.10?
[17:10] <outboard> norbert79 : ok i'm in the comand line running the command dmsg, probing / checking / usb 1-8 disconect , bus busy wait 0  , unknown sensor , probe of 1-8 fail with error -22
[17:10] <metho> one question regarding bash!
[17:10] <ash1> the only way to enable the driver is on the touch panel (QuickLaunch) of my notebook, and QuickLaunch itself isn't working properly :(
[17:11] <outboard> does that help ?
[17:11] <norbert79> outboard: Sounds not good... Did you try to google this error already?
[17:11] <nw2190> It was working fine but then I hooked my laptop up to another monitor the other day and ever since the resolution on my laptop is too low.
[17:11] <DrOni> johannes_: unfortunately not from EnvyNG, you'll have to check the Nvidia site and install it manually (instructions on how to do that are included in the tarball file)
[17:11] <metho> cant find .bash_script but $PATH exists and i even modified it as well...
[17:11] <lxuserNewbie> the capture voice too low even I set to 100% in recording tab, where can i get information about this, please?
[17:11] <metho> where is .bash_script??
[17:12] <MrCollins> Can someone help me troubleshoot my webcam issue? I do not know where to begin or I would ask a direct question.....
[17:12] <jburd> MrCollins: Can you try checking whether you can capture any video with cheese? sudo aptitude install cheese
[17:12] <blip-> hi,  for some reason i just logged onto my laptop and there is no sound.  i maxed out alsamixer, kmix and restarted ALSA system as well as maxed out Amarok.... but no sound is coming out from the speakers or via headphones... i didn't do anything or install anything for the sound.
[17:12] <Odd-rationale> metho: ~/.bash_script does not exists by defualt... unless you crete it...
[17:12] <znik>  i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop trackpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ?
[17:12] <DrOni> ash1: that QuickLaunch panel might not have linux drivers at all - check the HP site for info on whether Linux is supported or not?
[17:12] <Odd-rationale> metho: perhaps you mean ~/.bash_profile? or ~/.bashrc?
[17:12] <MrCollins> jburd ill check but I think I tried cheese already
[17:12] <johannes_> DrOni I heard about conflicts, installing a driver via repo after having installed a driver manually, is that correct/ possible?
[17:13] <metho> Odd_rationale: yes, i meant .bash_profile
[17:13] <znik>  i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop trackpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ?
[17:13] <ash1> DrOni: yeah i'm checking that one out..
[17:13] <metho> Odd_rationale: you know where i can find .bash_profile?
[17:13] <Odd-rationale> metho: it should be in ~/
[17:13] <DrOni> johannes_: due to the size and complexities of graphical drivers they aren't included in repos - but there will be conflicts if you install one over the other by ANY means
[17:13] <MrCollins> cheese doesnt work
[17:14] <ericjung__> Odd-rationale: i love you
[17:14] <furythor> I have problem with my graphics card, I can't get it identified it correctly.
[17:14] <znik> i have just installed 8.10 but my dell laptop trackpad(mouse) is not working properly. although when i attach an external mouse it acts fine. what should i do ?
[17:14] <Odd-rationale> ericjung__: i hope you're not a guy...
[17:14] <furythor> here is paste of my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/80411/
[17:14] <DrOni> johannes_: the instructions tell you how to safely install your new drivers however, so such conflicts shouldn't occur if you follow the instructions correctly
[17:14] <pottsi> znik:  i have same problem
[17:14] <ericjung__> Odd-rationale: not in a sexual way !
[17:14] <shiMMer> how to set conky run at startup on fluxbox??
[17:14] <DrOni> johannes_: daunting, I know, perhaps you should stick to the latest stable drivers from EnvyNG?
[17:14] <ericjung__> Odd-rationale: thanks for all the help
[17:15] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: add conky & to your ~/.fluxbox/startup file
[17:15] <lxuserNewbie> capture voice too low even I set to 100% in recording tab, where can i get information about this, please?
[17:15] <Odd-rationale> ericjung__: np :P
[17:15] <ericjung__> Odd-rationale: what does conky do?
[17:15] <norbert79> outboard: Ok, as I have no generic advice, try to turn off acpi at start, before you load up the installer.. Set "acpi=off" at GRUB
[17:15] <znik> pottsi lets put up a plea together
[17:15] <znik> so that sumone helps us
[17:15] <johannes_> DrOni nvidia 177 + plasma doesnt work very well, Ill go and uninstall the old one later and install the 180.08 manually
[17:15] <shiMMer> i cant see fluxbox on my home dir..must i create it?
[17:15] <bazhang> !info conky
[17:15] <Odd-rationale> ericjung__: it is a program that prints info to your desktop...
[17:15] <pottsi> znik:  does your caplogs key flash aswell ?
[17:16] <DrOni> johannes_: okay, good luck :)
[17:16] <johannes_> DrOni thx
[17:16] <znik> pottsi no but the moouse works fine if i connect an external one
[17:16] <shiMMer> i cant see fluxbox on my home dir..must i create it?
[17:16] <jburd> MrCollins: My built in webcam works well and here are the permissions for it:  crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2008-12-04 22:38 /dev/video0.  Can you check whether your user is part of the video group?
[17:16] <Juerd_> Is there a way to generate an xorg.conf based on the current settings that were detected?
[17:16] <Juerd_> I need to edit something but xorg.conf is empty nowadays.
[17:16] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: it is a hidden file ".fluxbox"
[17:16] <pottsi> Anyone has any ideas ??
[17:17] <znik> pottsi please tell me the answer if u find one
[17:17] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: you might want to go to view --> show hidden file (ctrl+h)
[17:17] <shiMMer> owh..then how to set conky wun at startup?
[17:17] <DrOni> znik: basically your trackpad drivers didn't install
[17:17] <pottsi> znik: ill pm you if i do
[17:17] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: add "conky &" to your ~/.fluxbox/startup file
[17:17] <DrOni> znik: do a google search specifically for your model and see if there are any linux drivers available for it?
[17:17] <znik> DrOni but the trackpad is moving but erratically
[17:17] <shiMMer> i try
[17:17] <lxuserNewbie> captured voice too low even I set to 100% in recording tab, where can i get information about this, please?
[17:17] <pottsi> DrOni: what can we do fix it
[17:18] <DrOni> znik: oh, well then they're just bad drivers! I can't help you sorry :(
[17:18] <pottsi> znik: you use vista?
[17:19] <DrHalan> hey ive installed and am usning glx-new but it is not listed in jockey. is that normal?
[17:19] <znik> DrOni last time when i had the problem i had to just edit the /etx/x11/xorg.conf file and edit the input device part but in 8.10 thr is only "device" section , no "input device" !!!!!
[17:19] <znik> pottsi yes
[17:19] <shiMMer> odd::i can see fluxbox folder now..n open startup file.where to add?
[17:19] <znik> in the xorg.conf
[17:19] <pottsi> znik: me too
[17:19] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: there should be an example section to guide you...
[17:20] <norbert79> !offtopic > pottsi
[17:20] <znik> DrOni http://paste.ubuntu.com/80411/
[17:20] <shiMMer> i try read again n again to understand.
[17:20] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: you probably know that a line that starts with # is a comment, and not executed...
[17:21] <techqbert> elinks yubnub.org
[17:21] <znik> DrOni thr is a same problem in ubuntu forum but thr r no answers!!
[17:21] <DrOni> znik: try adding an 'input device' section, do you know what you added last time?
[17:21] <znik> yes
[17:21] <bartek> Ugh, I've burned two CD's and I keep getting an I/O error when installing at around 40-50%. Both CD's produce the error so I fear it may be my hd, but it's completely new and seems I can partition it fine. Is there tools I can use to check the HD?
[17:21] <DrOni> znik: try adding that - if it doesn't work then you might have to wait until someone replies on the forums
[17:21] <znik> DrOni i have added that part.but i wanted to make sure before restarting!
[17:21] <Pici> bartek: Did you verify the iso's md5 before burning?
[17:21] <DrOni> znik: it's worth a shot - it should do any serious harm
[17:22] <Pici> !verify > bartek
[17:22] <DrOni> znik: shouldn't*
[17:22] <norbert79> !verify > norbert79
[17:22] <znik> DrOni you just gave me a heart attack
[17:22] <znik> :)
[17:22] <DrOni> znik: lol, sorry  - it's late
[17:22] <pottsi> znik: fixed?
[17:23] <znik> pottsi in terminal type :    sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:23] <[e]Lement> I'm about to post something on the forums, but I'll ask here to see if you guys know about it.
[17:23] <norbert79> bartek: Other way would be on checking the hard drive's analytical reports on S.M.A.R.T. You can install the smart analysing packages under the live CD too by installing smartmontools. apt-get install smartmontools
[17:23] <axyelp> ;
[17:23] <znik> DrOni: correct me if im wrong
[17:23] <[e]Lement> When my screen saver is on, to get the screensaver off I have to click a mouse button or push a key.  The mouse movement doens't register.
[17:24] <bartek> So can I do the checksum from the LiveCD? The other PC I have right now is a Windows XP PC
[17:24] <[e]Lement> Just install the checksum tool
[17:24] <pottsi> znik: using vista at the moment ill try it now then that *should* fix it ?
[17:24] <[e]Lement> You can get it from MS's website
[17:24] <[e]Lement> pottsi, may I ask what your problem is?
[17:24] <znik> pottsi append this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/80416/
[17:24] <bartek> alright
[17:24] <Pici> bartek: You can do it from Windows or by using the Check CD for Defects option on the LiveCD.
[17:24] <norbert79> pottsi: For Windows related discussion go to ##windows... You are in the wrong channel.
[17:25]  * [e]Lement slaps norbert79 with a large trout
[17:25] <[e]Lement> He's on Windows because his mouse doesn't work o Linux.
[17:25] <pottsi> norbert79:  its ubuntu problems on windows
[17:25] <aksci> i want to remove the switch user option.... when i lock my screen
[17:25] <DrOni> [e]Lement: pottsi and znik are having the same problem with a dodgy trackpad on their machine
[17:25] <[e]Lement> lame
[17:25] <[e]Lement> Usually ubuntu is good with trackpads
[17:25] <pottsi> [e]Lement: can i pm you would be easier there?
[17:25] <norbert79> [e]Lement: I guess you will need more courses to visit on ethics.
[17:26] <trae> Anyone know what the apt-get install command is to get the compiz control panel thingy?
[17:26] <bathman> anyone know how i can (temporarily) reinstall gcc-4.2.3 to install vmware server 2?
[17:26] <[e]Lement> norbert79, have you never seen the large trout slap?
[17:26] <bathman> it doesn't like 4.2.4
[17:26] <norbert79> !offtopic [e]Lement
[17:26] <[e]Lement> Not really pottsi, as I am on a Desktop and not on a laptop and have no experienced your issue.
[17:26] <DrOni> [e]Lement: yeah, I've never heard of a problem - apparently they had fixed it under Hardy by appending their xorg.conf - but Intrepid has a different xorg.conf file that they're unfamiliar with
[17:26] <norbert79> !offtopic >[e]Lement
[17:26] <[e]Lement> Wow thanks norbert79, I've seen that before
[17:26] <[e]Lement> And just to counter you
[17:27] <ompaul> [e]Lement, drop it please
[17:27] <[e]Lement> !offtopic >norberto79
[17:27] <bartek> Ok, the checksum matches

[17:27] <bartek> Any other ideas? :/
[17:27] <EmoBusinessman> Does anyone here have experience with using 8.10's network manager to connect to a cisco vpn?
[17:27] <norbert79> bartek: Drive error on your CD-ROM or on your HDD
[17:27] <ompaul> bartek, burn slowly
[17:27] <EmoBusinessman> I installed 8.10 at release and its cisco VPN support was broooooooooooooken
[17:27] <EmoBusinessman> had to reinstall 8.04 LTS
[17:28] <Juerd_> Is there a way to generate an xorg.conf based on the current settings that were detected?
[17:28] <bartek> Im burning at 40x and my drive supports up to 48x on CD-RW
[17:28] <norbert79> bartek: You might consider ompaul's advice too. Try to burn the image at a lower speed (around 12x)
[17:28] <bartek> But I guess I can try going lower..
[17:28] <trae> ompaul: hey there... you don't know what that compiz control panel software is ?  need to know what to apt-get install
[17:28] <gleesond> I'm wondering if anyone in here has installed ibex on an eee pc 1000, or is willing to help me get my wifi working
[17:28] <bartek> cd #3 is always a charm!
[17:28] <ompaul> trae, no don't do that stuff
[17:28] <pottsi> ok brb will test again
[17:28] <trae> ompaul: np bud, tx.
[17:28] <norbert79> trae: apt-cache search compiz will do the trick
[17:28] <trae> ompaul: and hey long time no see :)
[17:28] <bazhang> !ccsm
[17:28] <norbert79> !ccsm > trae
[17:29] <[e]Lement> bartek, you may also want to look at the CDs themselves.  I've seen imprefections in CDs many times.
[17:29] <trae> norbert79: thanks mate
[17:29] <norbert79> trae: You're welcome
[17:29] <ash1> Does anyone own a HP Pavilion laptop with the the QuickLaunch bar?
[17:30] <[e]Lement> You trying to get the launcher to work?
[17:30] <DrOni> ash1: no luck finding drivers?
[17:30] <furythor> I have problem with my graphics card and screen not identified correctly http://paste.ubuntu.com/80417/ here is past of my xorg.conf contents
[17:31] <bartek> While this is burning, could my hard drive be getting identified fine but not wired up correctly or if the SATA cables were done wrong would it not get identified? (I'm assuming the latter)
[17:31] <norbert79> furythor: Are you sure you have installed the nvidia support package too? Do a dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[17:31] <ash1> DrOni : no
[17:31] <[e]Lement> furythor, gksudo displayconfig-gtk in terminal should fix it.  I've not been able to get it to work in 8.10 tho
[17:31] <[e]Lement> bartek, how are you trying to access the HD?
[17:31] <lipinski> How do I find out what package a particular file belongs to
[17:32] <bartek> [e]Lement: nothing special, just installing ubuntu on this clean slate
[17:32] <furythor> what I should look for from that print out ?
[17:32] <[e]Lement> Which drive are you trying to access?
[17:32] <norbert79> furythor: If any package is listed named nvidia
[17:32] <bartek> My main SATA drive?
[17:32] <[e]Lement> lipinski, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ might be of help
[17:32] <bartek> I only have one HD
[17:33] <blackhole> hi
[17:33] <shiMMer> # fbsetbg -f /media/disk/Images/array2.jpg
[17:33] <furythor> there is many of those
[17:33] <shiMMer> i set it but not work
[17:33] <[e]Lement> It's possible it's not being recognized.
[17:33] <shiMMer> # fbsetbg -f /media/disk/Images/array2.jpg
[17:33] <blackhole> anyone know, how to set human icons for azureus ?
[17:33] <llutz> !factoids
[17:33] <[e]Lement> When you put the LiveCD in the drive does it load?
[17:33] <badawi> my internet is too slow, it's wired eth0 adsl controlled by NetworkManager
[17:33] <bartek> [e]Lement: bios, on loadup, and ubuntu recognizes the drive and its size (it allows me to partition and actually creates partition tables)
[17:33] <bartek> so something tells me the HD may not be at fault, but who knows
[17:33] <[e]Lement> Then the drive is fine
[17:33] <carlf> Ok. I have the sata_mv driver loaded and the disks show up individually but not as a raid. How would I mount this raid? It's 3 SATA drives on a RocketRaid 2310
[17:33] <bartek> kk
[17:33] <[e]Lement> Well
[17:33] <[e]Lement> It's being recognized.
[17:34] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: maybe you need to take out the comment #
[17:34] <bartek> Right
[17:34] <[e]Lement> You could have a failed HD
[17:34] <FloodBot2> [e]Lement: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:34] <shiMMer> it say must be #
[17:34] <bartek> Is there a way I can check for that [e]Lement without installing ubuntu (since I cant) ?
[17:34] <bartek> Im burning at 16x right now so maybe this will work but if not .. :)
[17:34] <norbert79> bartek: Other way would be on checking the hard drive's analytical reports on S.M.A.R.T. You can install the smart analysing packages under the live CD too by installing smartmontools. apt-get install smartmontools
[17:34] <trae> thanks bunches guys, as always spot on ;)
[17:34] <[e]Lement> What problem are you having installing?
[17:34] <bartek> norbert79: ah right, sorry I missed that earlier
[17:34] <norbert79> bartek: No problem
[17:35] <wykfasz> hi
[17:35] <bartek> [e]Lement: keeps I/O error'ing at around 40-50% but suggestions said to burn at a slower rate, so I am now
[17:35] <shiMMer> odd::i try n CTRL+ALT+Backspace to see effect
[17:35] <[e]Lement> Well, could have bad sectors.
[17:35] <bartek> Yah
[17:35] <[e]Lement> And I will add, SMART doesn't always trip.    Things start disappearing and flickering....
[17:37] <shiMMer> it will work on startup?
[17:37] <[e]Lement> LinuxApe, mine seems okay.
[17:37] <greencookie> Hi I work on an office computer (running Ubuntu) which is always on. When I come and login in the mornings I would like to have my emails automatically downloaded into /var/mail/[username] so that I can check it with mutt. How can I do that? thanks in advance.
[17:37] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: if you add it to your ~/.fluxbox/startup it should
[17:38] <shiMMer> it not work
[17:38] <shiMMer> odd::i add this
[17:38] <shiMMer> # conky &
[17:38] <norbert79> greencookie: Thats not an easy topic. First you have to find out what method your company uses for mailing
[17:38] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: can you pastebin your ~/.fluxbox/startup file?
[17:38] <greencookie> norbert79: what bout gmail?
[17:38] <shiMMer> w8
[17:38] <greencookie> or my college email?:) i just want to be able to use mutt over ssh :D
[17:38] <norbert79> greencookie: Does your company uses Gmail for internal mailing? :)
[17:39] <norbert79> greencookie: I see :) Well, what does your place use for mails? POP? IMAP?
[17:39] <shiMMer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/80427/
[17:39] <greencookie> norbert79: I would like to fetch Gmail via IMAP.
[17:39] <greencookie> norbert79: do I need fetchmail to do that?
[17:40] <wydd> OpenOffice screen refresh problem: text bullets and control buttons aren't redrawn properly. Is is a known issue?
[17:40] <norbert79> greencookie: Not used mutt long time... hmm, let me trace this on google
[17:40] <shiMMer> must be Conky n not conky??
[17:40] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: take out the the "# " out before the "# conky &" and "# fbsetbg -f /media/disk/Images/array2.jpg
[17:40] <furythor> I still don't get my graphics card to work, and what is odd that Nvidia X server settings identify my card correctly, but monitor, so can I add manually display modes I know it can use ?
[17:40] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: no, it should be conky
[17:40] <greencookie> norbert79: when sshing into my campus's linux server it tells me 'You have no new mail' and when i type 'mail' if i have it, then it shows me my mail, i can even mail using 'mail [username]' do you know what program that is?
[17:41] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: also put a # infront of /usr/bin/fbsetroot -solid black
[17:41] <wydd> wydd: ?

[17:44] <wydd> Openoffice screen refresh problem: is it a known issue related to Ubuntu? Maybe an nvidia or compiz problem?
[17:45] <shiMMer> odd::yeah..work great..
[17:45] <gleesond> how do I tell if wifi works?
[17:45] <gleesond> I don't see an interface when I ifconfig
[17:45] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: :D
[17:45] <shiMMer> odd::y this happen..is it bug??
[17:45] <jibouti> gleesond: try  iwconfig
[17:45] <norbert79> gleesond: It does not work then :) Check the Network manager if you find Networks... What Wifi card do you own?
[17:45] <Odd-rationale> shiMMer: no... as i said before, a line starting with a # is not executed...
[17:45] <greencookie> norbert79: that link was for configuring using POP, but I wanted to use IMAP. I will google it anyways. Thank you for your help.
[17:45] <grendal_prime> im thinking about upgrading my hardy laptop to ibex. but i have a few concerns.  This is a dell 1420 and it came with gutsy preinstalled on it. The upgrade to hardy was pretty painless, however it is an upgrade the dell i think supports.
[17:46] <jibouti> grendal_prime: i would not upgrade to 8.10 if it was me
[17:46] <shiMMer> owh..i got a new knoledge again. :)
[17:46] <norbert79> greencookie: Not really... http://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/using-gmail-with-mutt-the-minimal-way/
[17:46] <norbert79> greencookie: Did you check this too?
[17:46] <wydd> grendal_prime: mine is a latitude and ibex is driving me crazy
[17:47] <grendal_prime> jibouti: thanks.  Im most concerend with the hardware problems.
[17:47] <shiMMer> take a note and coolect it for my blog.
[17:47] <greencookie> norbert79: no i hadnt. checking it now. ty
[17:47] <norbert79> greencookie: Any time...
[17:47] <gleesond> norbert79: I have an eee pc 1000
[17:47] <mker> In sshd_config (openssh) is it correct to write "ChrootDirectory %h"? Does %h actually *mean* the home directory of every user or is it just used to symbolize that in the documentation?
[17:48] <norbert79> gleesond: Thats easy! sudo apt-get install linux-backport-modules
[17:48] <gleesond> norbert79: rad
[17:48] <wydd> Folks, is anyone else having screen refresh problem in gnome (mostly office)?
[17:48] <gleesond> I'll do that then
[17:48] <norbert79> gleesond: You should also check http://eee.ricey.co.uk/
[17:49] <gleesond> cool will do norbert79++
[17:49] <norbert79> gleesond: linux-backports-modules-intrepid is the right name
[17:49] <norbert79> gleesond: You are welcome :)
[17:49] <bathman> anyone know how i can (temporarily) reinstall gcc-4.2.3 to install vmware server 2? or just add 4.2.3 of course
[17:49] <norbert79> bathman: apt-get install gcc
[17:50] <johannes_> hi, I manually installed a nvidia driver how can I uninstall it?
[17:50] <norbert79> bathman: you might also install linux-headers
[17:50] <norbert79> johannes_: Use the same installer but start it with the option 'uninstall'
[17:50] <bathman> won't that check if i have 4.2.4? that i already have
[17:50] <norbert79> johannes_: for example "nvidia-installer uninstall"
[17:50] <bitsbam> is there a new system of encryption that will not allow an acidrip ?
[17:51] <bitsbam> even if using css?
[17:51] <bathman> but gotta go eat
[17:51] <bathman> excuse me!
[17:51] <norbert79> bitsbam: I doubt this is the right forum to that, you might considering joining a channelk about encryption
[17:51] <bathman> (fries are important)
[17:51] <bitsbam> have a couple of new movies that just don't rip
[17:51] <bitsbam> ok norbert79, will do
[17:52] <znik> pottsi i have got the solution
[17:52] <znik> DrOni problem soved
[17:52] <johannes_> mhm i did sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run what can I do now?
[17:52] <norbert79> johannes_: No, use "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run uninstall"
[17:52] <znik> DrOni i had done this earlier as well. i had forgotten.
[17:52] <johannes_> ah ok thx
[17:52] <norbert79> johannes_: Make sure you have the GUI off
[17:52] <zamba> i'm trying to run a program, but it complains about missing shared library.. the .so file is in the same directory as the one i'm trying to run the program from.. how can i during run time set the path where it should look for libraries? i don't want to alter /etc/ld.conf for this one time or move the .so to a system wide location
[17:53] <zamba> i know there's an environment variable i probably can set for it
[17:53] <norbert79> johannes_: use "init 1" to enter single mode in command line interface
[17:53] <norbert79> johannes_: that will turn off all other applications too
[17:53] <norbert79> johannes_: the only one working will be your bash command line
[17:54] <norbert79> johannes_: you can switch back using init 3 or init 5... I don't know if this has been changed inside Ubuntu... I think runlevel 3 is the default
[17:54] <shiMMer> i type "firefox" in terminal then it open firefox.i close terminal n firefox also close.how to let firefox running even i close my terminal??
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> zamba I assume it is not from our repos and from an outside source..
[17:54] <norbert79> zamba: What is the name of that SO file?
[17:54] <zamba> norbert79: libgptsblmsui11.so
[17:54] <zamba> Jack_Sparrow: nope
[17:54] <norbert79> shiMMer: nohup firefox &
[17:54] <genii> norbert79: telinit 1   . Also 2 is the default, since 2,3,4 and 5 on ubuntu are identical
[17:54] <shiMMer> command=nohup?
[17:55] <norbert79> shiMMer: Yes, nohup is a command
[17:55] <Jack_Sparrow> zamba what program are you trying to run and could you pastebin a copy of your sources.list
[17:55] <norbert79> genii: Cheers
[17:55] <shiMMer> trying
[17:55] <dkerschner> Using xubuntu 8.10. Trying to do dual montiors with xrandr. It works... kinna. I can mouse over to my second monitor and drag apps over there. However, there appears to be a black layer on top of the windows i drag over there. I can see my mouse though and click on the windows... i just can't see them
[17:55] <zamba> Jack_Sparrow: this is not a program included in the debian repositories.. this is something i've downloaded myself and want to run..
[17:55] <Mrono> I need a handfull of people to download a file to test my bandwith, pst me
[17:56] <zamba> i only ask here because there's probably some linux savvy users here
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> zamba exactly my point..
[17:56] <norbert79> zamba: does that specific application have this file inside the directory?
[17:56] <zamba> so in that sense it's not really ubuntu related.. :p
[17:56] <zamba> norbert79: yeah
[17:56] <norbert79> zamba: It probably also has a bash script file, right?
[17:56] <Tulga> what is bogon when I add route for "<IP_ADDRESS>"?
[17:56] <norbert79> zamba: Most of the time program vendors also come with shell scrips
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> zamba what program are you trying to run and what is the output of lsb_release -a
[17:57] <norbert79> zamba: Look for a shell scripted file... I think you have a file for making that application run
[17:57] <Jack_Sparrow> zamba I say this as we dont use the debian repos, we use ours.  So please post lsb_release -a and your sources list
[17:58] <norbert79> Jack_Sparrow: I doubt that the application was installed using a deb file :)
[17:58] <zamba> exactly.. it's not
[17:58] <shiMMer> yeah..the POC is nohup "application".hu3
[17:58] <genii> Tulga: Means invalid.    x.x.x.0   is a network designation and not to be used as an IP for a single machine, for instance
[17:58] <Tulga> ok thanks
[17:58] <Jophish> hmm, every window I open starts in the top left of the screen, with the top bar just underneath the top talkbar
[17:58] <Jophish> taskbar*
[17:58] <shiMMer> make post for blog
[17:58] <norbert79> zamba: So, list all files, or open the directory in Gnome/KDE and check if youn can see a file, which is a shell script.

[18:06] <shiMMer> owh..
[18:06] <norbert79> shiMMer: Probably, but GIMP is GUI based, so you might just use your browser

[18:08] <bartek> Is it normal for the LiveCD to take upwards of 10 minutes to boot up?
[18:08] <norbert79> shiMMer: Inofficial, so you might receive not secure packages...
[18:08] <shiMMer> owh...
[18:08] <norbert79> shiMMer: So use it at own risk
[18:09] <shiMMer> better not use it..im new :)
[18:09] <dhcl> teste
[18:09] <norbert79> shiMMer: Well, I have never experience any problems with getdeb packages yet so far, but this means also not, that there won't be any problems
[18:10] <dkerschner> Anyone have any ideas about my strange black screen issue?
[18:10] <norbert79> bartek: No, it's never normal
[18:10] <norbert79> bartek: Sounds like physical problems...

[18:11] <norbert79> bartek: It can be still faulty
[18:11] <bartek> I am :)
[18:11] <dhcl> yes...
[18:11] <bartek> What can I do on "checking my cables" apart from making sure they are plugged in tightly?
[18:12] <norbert79> bartek: Switching cables if you have any, switching drives...
[18:12] <bartek> right
[18:12] <dhcl> wydd: yes

[18:13] <shiMMer> ps=4/about process i think
[18:13] <norbert79> shiMMer: I would suggest you give a time on reading this
[18:13] <norbert79> http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/sag.pdf
[18:13] <norbert79> shiMMer: you can easly look for firefox only using ps -ef | grep firefox

[18:15] <DBO> ompaul, i was hoping someone would give me an excuse to poke him
[18:15] <norbert79> tonyyarusso: Finding out PID numbers is much reliable
[18:15] <ompaul> DBO, I just did :)
[18:15]  * DBO pokes crimsun
[18:16] <tonyyarusso> norbert79: usually though, but agreed, PID is more robust.
[18:16] <shiMMer> tony::yeah..that great..that what i lookin 4..

[18:20] <steveccc> hi all - i am learning to use truecrypt which seems to take ages to create a 10gb encrypted file container on ubuntu 8.04 on a p4 2ghz but on a mac with ubuntu 8.10 used under a virtual machine its very quick - do you think this is due to the dual cores on the mac or could a later version of ubuntu be more efficient?
[18:20] <[c0re]> ded_, all of them are 10 mb?
[18:20] <FreshPrince> Adler aha, komisch, soll ich dir ne mail schicken?
[18:20] <ded_> [c0re]: 160 to 750
[18:20] <Tagami> okay, someone help me out here
[18:20] <[c0re]> ded_, 10x17 = 170mb?
[18:21] <Tagami> any time i hit shift+backspace X dies
[18:21] <[c0re]> ded_, mb or gb?
[18:21] <tonyyarusso> MidnightDevil: some exist, but I don't think any are available in Ubuntu yet.
[18:21] <Tagami> does anyone know wtf causes that?
[18:21] <ded_> [c0re]: gb
[18:21] <[c0re]> Tagami, that is not bug.
[18:21] <MidnightDevil> Tagami, i guess its supposed to behave like that.
[18:21] <Tagami> okay
[18:21] <MidnightDevil> after all, you're hitting the hotkey to kill X
[18:21] <MidnightDevil> lol
[18:21] <Tagami> then how do i turn it off XP
[18:22] <Tagami> or change it to control+alt+backspace or something sensible
[18:22] <MidnightDevil> dont hit shift and backspace.
[18:22] <Tagami> that... doesn't really work

[18:27] <MadChopr> what's the general consensus on Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) ?  this is the first time i've heard of it... and i'm thinking about looking into it for usage to run at my company; any ideas?
[18:27] <norbert79> !kvm
[18:28] <norbert79> !kvm | MadChopr
[18:28] <MadChopr> thanks norbert79
[18:28] <norbert79> MadChopr: Yw
[18:28] <jrib> MadChopr: well works fine for me on the desktop if that's of any help
[18:28] <MadChopr> thanks jrib
[18:28] <MadChopr> jrib: would you trust it to run your production server for file backups?  and also a testing server?
[18:29] <Brucee> in totem movie player, how can i choose many songs at the same time,.. trying to imitate control+right mouse click for xp function?
[18:29] <norbert79> MadChopr: There are companies who use KVM for their virtualizations
[18:29] <jrib> MadChopr: i would, yeah
[18:30] <norbert79> MadChopr: KVM is more like the bridge between the real hardware, and the emulated one... You still need an application, like qemu
[18:30] <Bertan> tonyyarusso Where do I find this gconf file?
[18:30] <MadChopr> interesting, i'm reading more on said website; thanks norbert79
[18:31] <norbert79> MadChopr: Have fun reading! :)
[18:31] <Brucee> in ubuntu, how can i choose many items in a window at the same time?
[18:31] <heogen> how can I save my bookmarks?
[18:31] <brett_h> if I add a PPA to top of my sources.list and update, shouldn't apt-cache show <pkg> show the one in the PPA if it's a later version?  am I missing something?
[18:31] <norbert79> Brucee: Press CTRL
[18:31] <tonyyarusso> Bertan: Here it is.  Press Alt-F2, then type 'gconf-editor'.  In that, go to apps > nautilus > preferences, and look for the line called "desktop_is_home_dir".
[18:32] <jrib> brett_h: yes
[18:32] <SlimeyPete> brett_h: shift-click or control-click generally works
[18:32] <SlimeyPete> erm

[18:32] <Brucee> norbert79 .. control dont work for me
[18:32] <heogen> how can I save my bookmarks in a usb drive?

 wow man thank you
[18:33] <norbert79> heogen: You are welcome
[18:33] <tonyyarusso> heogen: also, within Firefox under "Organize Bookmarks", you can export from there.

[18:38] <brett_h> jrib: hmph, yeah, I thought maybe I was missing something --- with this PPA at the top of my sources.list I'm still seeing the old Ubuntu nginx, https://launchpad.net/~bretthoerner/+archive
[18:38] <norbert79> shiMMer: "sudo iwlist scan"
[18:38] <jrib> pronto: if no one knows the answer, no one will answer you.   It sits at 59% for awhile before finally dumping the error. Any last ideas?
[18:40] <norbert79> shiMMer: Are you on a desktop computer or laptop?
[18:40] <[c0re]> what is PPA?
[18:40] <jrib> brett_h: pastebin 'sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy nginx'  It's in main there
[18:40] <norbert79> bartek: Hard drive busted
[18:40] <slayton> Personal Package Archive [c0re]

[18:40] <jrib> [c0re]: I'm on gnome
[18:41] <bartek> norbert79: can I verify if its the hd versus the cd drive?
[18:41] <shiMMer> nobert:laptop
[18:41] <norbert79> bartek: no idea how to check your drive, as I always use the vendor's tools on checking a hard drive
[18:41] <bartek> ok
[18:41] <bartek> thanks
[18:41] <norbert79> bartek: But if I would be you, I would replace that hard drive
[18:42] <brett_h> jrib: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/93855/
[18:42] <norbert79> shiMMer: what type of laptop? Many laptops have switches on turning off wifi, or there is a keyboard shortcut to it
[18:42] <brett_h> jrib: ack it just changed :(
[18:42] <bartek> gah, sigh
[18:42] <meshe> I need to buy a pcmcia or usb, ethernet or wireless card for an old laptop, what is the most compatible one for 8.10, preferably not one that requires ndiswrapper
[18:42] <jrib> [c0re]: are you sure 'notification area' is in your panel?
[18:42] <brett_h> jrib: maybe the PPA index file takes a while after the build, it was different a second ago, thanks
[18:42] <shiMMer> i use acer aspire 4530.wireless button located at left.
[18:42] <slayton> meshe find one that is cheap then check to see if it works with ubuntu
[18:43] <norbert79> shiMMer: Turn it on, if it is in "off" state
[18:43] <shiMMer> i think no on keyboard
[18:43] <[c0re]> jrib, yes i am
[18:43] <shiMMer> how can i know it on or off?it not making light.. :(
[18:43] <jrib> [c0re]: and network manager is managing your connections?
[18:43] <norbert79> shiMMer: Well, check your handbook to your laptop
[18:43] <[c0re]> jrib, i was trying to enable my wifi...
[18:44] <[c0re]> jrib, i dont know. how do i check?>
[18:44] <jrib> [c0re]: did you mess with /etc/network/interfaces ?
[18:44] <shiMMer> yee...wireless button not glow but when i press..it found AP
[18:44] <brett_h> jrib: do you know - in order to make that package for intrepid, etc, do I have to go alter the changelog's distro and make a new one for each? or is there a way to say "compile this for each version with the dependencies I listed"
[18:44] <[c0re]> jrib,  lamme check
[18:45] <norbert79> shiMMer: You can also turn off / on the wifi using Fn+F1
[18:45] <[c0re]> jrib, its look nice to me
[18:45] <shiMMer> in my laptop keyboard,i can see symbol "?"
[18:45] <shiMMer> i try to scan

[18:46] <norbert79> shiMMer: Look for a button with an antenna symbol
[18:46] <johnny5> I'm hosting my email on google apps, but any email i try to send out from my server to the domain that my server is setup with doesn't go anywhere. Any ideas?

[18:47] <[c0re]> jrib, maybe i did.... but with network configuration
 guy I follow this order /home/<my user  name>/.mozilla/Firefox/profiles.ini
[18:47] <[c0re]> The Gui one
[18:47] <shiMMer> not exist i think..but it ok to press at button..
[18:47] <norbert79> shiMMer: The main thing is, that wifi works
[18:47] <shiMMer> yeah.that is..
 because there are not a profile name
[18:48] <norbert79> heogen: Go to the directory 'profile', but the easier way on exporting bookmarks is Inside Firefox Bookmarks/Manage bookmarks
[18:48] <jrib> [c0re]: is nm-applet running?
[18:48] <norbert79> heogen: you can easly export/import
 ok let me do it
[18:49] <shiMMer> how to change my open window color??

[18:51] <norbert79> hmm, let see
[18:51] <norbert79> !postfix
[18:51] <jrib> [c0re]: it should be running in system -> preferences -> sessions -> startup programs as "nm-applet --sm-disable"
[18:51] <norbert79> !postfix | johnny5
[18:52] <johnny5> did you happen to catch the problem i'm having?

[18:54] <bobbob1016> I have an nvidia gpu on my mobo with HDMI out.  I installed the nvidia drivers, but the resolution is incorrect, it's finding my receiver, how can I manually set it up to go with the correct resolution?
[18:54] <oskar-> johnny5:  what your postfix's configuration? and how do you want mail to be routed?

[18:55] <shiMMer> cant*
[18:55] <bakarat_> or is there some reason for this?
[18:55] <jrib> bakarat_: nope, you probably have 6 terminals open too
[18:55] <norbert79> shiMMer: why do you want to change the settings then?? :)
[18:56] <bakarat_> jrib, aaah, didn't know they counted as seperate logins :D
[18:56] <bakarat_> jrib, good to know, thanks :>

[18:59] <greencookie> I need some help with wmii but googling doesnt produce a lot of results. I was just looking for a community and apparently #wmii is nonexistant too :(

[19:00] <greencookie> norbert79: you > google :) ty

[19:01] <[c0re]> can anyone tell me what is UseNet?
[19:01] <DBO> poke crimsun
[19:01] <norbert79> [c0re]: A very very old network
[19:01] <LjL> [c0re]: wikipedia sure can
[19:02] <norbert79> [c0re]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USENET
[19:02] <[c0re]> norbert79, what type of network?
[19:02] <norbert79> [c0re]: Check the Wiki site
[19:02] <oskar-> [c0re]:  it is a network of news servers, communicating via nntp, exchanging articles, that are a bit like e-mails, organized in hierarchical groups
[19:02] <chfwiggum> [c0re]: newsnetwork
[19:02] <LjL> [c0re]: it's the network that provides newsgroups.
[19:03] <norbert79> [c0re]: It was before the internet, as we know it today
[19:03] <[c0re]> wow a lot of answers :D
[19:03] <norbert79> [c0re]: It was more like a forum-network
[19:03] <LjL> and it's also very much unrelated to Ubuntu, aside from the fact that, of course, Ubuntu has some Usenet clients available.
[19:03] <chfwiggum> norbert79: it was the internet before the www
[19:03] <norbert79> chfwiggum: Alright, details, details :)
[19:04] <norbert79> chfwiggum: But there was BBS too ;-)
[19:04] <LjL> !ot
[19:04] <[c0re]> 1979
[19:04] <norbert79> LjL: Why? There were no other questions in line...
[19:04] <norbert79> :)
[19:05] <evanotten> Hello, i was having some difficulty installing a them i was told to run this command line "sudo cp -r $HOME/Desktop/Overglossed /usr/share/themes" upon doing so it asked me for password and once i entered such password it gave me an error.  Can anyone help me install this theme?
[19:05] <LjL> well, i could reverse the question - why *not* use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel, which is there for exactly that purpose?
[19:05] <LjL> anyway, here's a question
[19:05] <evanotten> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Overglossed?content=74813
[19:05] <norbert79> LjL: Which you want to also help to solve, right? :)
[19:05] <LjL> evanotten: "an error" isn't very useful
[19:06] <D-MAN> anyone know how to get guild wars to work on wine?
[19:06] <norbert79> evanotten: Be more specific about the type of the error
[19:06] <evanotten> i dont recall the specific error once trying to repeat it now says command not found
[19:06] <norbert79> !wine | D-MAN
[19:06] <LjL> evanotten: it can't find the command "cp"? that would be most awkward.
[19:07] <peleg> If I kill X, will I lose all of the data I have open now? Will it close my terminal with screen there, or will it just restart X and keep any other process (such as the terminal) running?
[19:07] <norbert79> peleg: If you have started your terminal, or application in X, you will loose X when you shut it down
[19:07] <Hikefu> You will lose open windows/data
[19:07] <Gnome_> hi
[19:07] <evanotten> i am just copying the instructions shown on the page would there be a correction that needs to be made
[19:08] <norbert79> peleg: Save your unsaved changes, and then kill X, otherwise you might lose data
[19:08] <peleg> norbert79, Hikefu, thanks. What else can I do? Currently X takes 1333M of virtual memory with no apparent reason; I'd like to clean that somehow
[19:08] <korcan> when I set a static IP I can no longer ping any public ip, however I can ping local ip's (192.168.x.x)
[19:08] <norbert79> peleg: I see... Where do you see this information?
[19:08] <peleg> norbert79, htop
[19:09] <norbert79> korcan: You might also set your DNS ip adresses in /etc/resolv.conf
[19:09] <korcan> I am pinging <IP_ADDRESS>, dns is not the issue
[19:09] <peleg> VIRT 1333M, RES 256M, SHR 11,380
[19:09] <korcan> any ideas?
[19:09] <oskar-> korcan:  maybe the default route?
[19:09] <norbert79> korcan: I have already told you a hint
[19:09] <korcan> oskar-, how do I set it?
[19:10] <galaga> when i connect to my isp, ubuntu adds some routes i have to delete in order to have internet. what is the recommended way to make the changes permanent?
[19:10] <oskar-> korcan:  for example: route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:10] <galaga> i have to *delete* routes
[19:10] <[c0re]> !sftp
[19:10] <galaga> script in rc.local?
[19:10] <LjL> evanotten: no. type "sudo cp --help", does that give an erro?
[19:10] <norbert79> galaga: go to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf ... You should check the documenation to this application in /usr/share/doc/dhcp3
[19:11] <korcan> oskar-, thanks you are a genius :-D
[19:11] <norbert79> galaga: If you use DHCP of course
[19:11] <galaga> norbert79: i have a static ip
[19:11] <evanotten> yes cp missing destination file operand after 'help'
[19:11] <galaga> i've setup the nic in /etc/network/interfaces
[19:11] <norbert79> galaga: I see... Turn off automatic connections inside network-manager
[19:12] <Spark_Plug> hi all
[19:12] <evanotten> "sudo cp -- help"
[19:12] <EdwardIII> hey
[19:12] <Spark_Plug> any one can tel me from where i can learn ethical hacking by using ubuntu
[19:12] <oskar-> korcan:  hehe, no ;)  i don't know how you configure ip statically, but setting the route manually isn't a good solution, of course. the used mechanism's documentation will tell you...
[19:12] <norbert79> Spark_Plug: Doubt it... Look for any channel about security. This is a support channel.
[19:12] <EdwardIII> i'm trying to run dpkg -r php5-sqlite3, but it's telling me only the config files are left and i need to run --purge. but when i try --purge dpkg acts like i've got an invalid syntax?
[19:12] <tankpunk> hi all
[19:12] <evanotten> when entered with quotes it says help command not found
[19:13] <galaga> norbert79: sorry, perhaps i should have mention it first. it's an ubuntu server. should i ask in the relevant chan?
[19:13] <roy_hobbs> Hey guys.  I've got two problems with OpenOffice.org.  1) I added to launchpad repo so that it would upgrade to OOo3, but nothing is happening.  2) The dictionary doesn't seem to be working
[19:13] <Spark_Plug> norbert79: i m also looking for support
[19:13] <EdwardIII> ah i see, you just need --purge on it's own, not -r
[19:13] <norbert79> Spark_Plug: But hacking is not a topic of this channel...
[19:13] <shiMMer> i can run kismet.
[19:13] <chfwiggum> evanotten: no quotes, just sudo cp --help  as written her
[19:13] <norbert79> !ot | Spark_Plug
[19:13] <shiMMer> i cant run kismet.
[19:13] <Stormx2> Hi guys. How can I see the current upstream/downstream usage on a network card via command line?
[19:13] <Spark_Plug> Thanks
[19:13] <evanotten> ok it came up
[19:14] <LjL> evanotten, when entered with quotes, it's obviously a quoted command, not a command...
[19:14] <chfwiggum> evanotten: always leave " "  but don't leave ' '
[19:14] <norbert79> Spark_Plug: Besides, your topic is a bit too much for this channel... You still might look foir a channel about generic security.
[19:14] <evanotten> lol rgr
[19:14] <Spark_Plug> any one cal tel me how to learn ubuntu step by step is there any cource provided by ubuntu or text or guide
[19:15] <LjL> evanotten: so now try again "sudo cp -r $HOME/Desktop/Overglossed /usr/share/themes", again without any quotes
[19:15] <norbert79> Spark_Plug: I would suggest you would start at http://wiki.ubuntu.com
[19:16] <evanotten> missing destination file operand after
[19:16] <D-MAN_> could soeone help e with wine?
[19:16] <jrib> Spark_Plug: help.ubuntu.com
[19:17] <oskar-> to those who have gparted installed: is there a link to it in the app menu, that starts it with superuser permissions? or is starting it via gksudo easiest? (i can't test it atm, it's for a friend)
[19:17] <andymd> help join
[19:17] <shiMMer> wine can install all windows program??
[19:17] <norbert79> Spark_Plug: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/index.html - but I would also advice you on getting generic documentations on the net about general Linux
[19:17] <jrib> oskar-: system -> administration -> partition editor
[19:17] <norbert79> shiMMer: Wine is a huge topic, you should consider joining #winehq
[19:18] <Neurologic> Apparently none of the sounds I have assigned to notifications and dialogues and such, are working, only the login/logoff sounds. Anyone have any ideas?
[19:19] <adub> has anyone in here used the program zoneminder??
[19:20] <chfwiggum> evanotten: did u type it in urself?i recommend just copy and paste it
[19:20] <evanotten> yes just tried pasting it and it dropped down a line and gave no errors
[19:20] <bartek> norbert79: im trying a different hard drive for this install :)
[19:20] <steyt> Is something going on with us.archive.ubuntu.com? Shouldn't http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty exist?
[19:20] <evanotten> my emerald theme manager does not contain overglossed in it
[19:20] <Gnome_> I will check
[19:20] <chfwiggum> yeah, u didnt leave a space between the two destinations
[19:21] <Dabbu> i had installed kubuntu-kde4-destop in ubuntu...now i have uninstalled that but few of my application like vlc,opera are using the srtting for qt4 and looks very ugly..any help ?
[19:21] <norbert79> bartek: Good luck :)
[19:21] <evanotten> let me check theme manager
[19:21] <klaxian> even after i empty the trash, it shows 29 files are in it.  any ida how i can really empty it?
[19:21] <tchough> does anybody know the preferred way to start/restart networkmanager? i know there's no init script for it... is there something else?
[19:22] <Gnome_> not sure
[19:22] <steyt> tchough: I usually sudo killall NetworkManager but I'm sure that's not the preferred way...
[19:22] <tchough> steyt: yeah, that's what i did to kill it, but i'm just not sure how to get it running again :)
[19:22] <whyameye> I can't get a single video encoder to work with ffmpeg ubuntu 8.10 32 bit
[19:22] <steyt> oh, just sudo NetworkManager
[19:23] <Dabbu> no help ?
[19:23] <steyt> (I think, it's been a while)
[19:23] <whyameye> the same video encoders DO work on 8.04 64 bit.
[19:23] <whyameye> what am I missing?
[19:23] <tchough> steyt: that did it, thanks!
[19:23] <evanotten> the theme isnt showing up in theme manager even with me extracting to desktop as instructed and running that command line without error
[19:24] <klaxian> where does the trash applet get it's info from?  it shows 29 files in the trash, but none show when I click it.  They are not hidden.  Any ideas?
[19:24] <evanotten> i really apologize i am just learning and am nub
[19:24] <mkquist> tchough: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:24] <oskar-> !trash | klaxian
[19:24] <frostburn> has the package libsmi2 been removed for 8.10?
[19:24] <chfwiggum> evanotten: ur welcome, just take it slow
[19:24] <klaxian> oskar-: yes, i know where it is and i found the folder
[19:24] <klaxian> oskar-: ls -a shows no files
[19:25] <klaxian> oskar-: however the trash applet claims 29 files are in the trash
[19:25] <steyt> My feisty aptitude is crapping out because (I think) http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty does not exist, anyone have any ideas why?
[19:25] <chfwiggum> evanotten: the prob is i dont use gnome so i cant be sure to be right

[19:25] <deadvirus> hello, when I try to update hardy to intrepid it shows something like "This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardware in Ubuntu 8.10."
[19:25] <deadvirus> should I update?
[19:26] <oskar-> klaxian:  is .local/share/Trash/info also empty, and the old trash folder? afaik, you can safely delete them, as they should be recreated when used
[19:26] <bobbob1016> My new Ubuntu install isn't detecting my nic, how could I manually find it?
[19:26] <deadvirus> or the problem still exists?
[19:26] <TuxSympathiser> Is it possible to use the ipw3945 wireless drivers instead of iwl3945?
[19:26] <D-MAN_> how do i run progras through wine?
[19:27] <klaxian> oskar-: yes, info and files are both empty
[19:27] <Tundrayeti311> D-MAN_: u can usually doubleclick, or right click and open w/ wine, or command line: wine program.exe
[19:28] <KiberGluk> îìã
[19:28] <KiberGluk> êàê âàñ ìíîãî :)
[19:28] <KiberGluk> êóàëë
[19:28] <klaxian> oskar-: i will delete the entire Trash directory i guess
[19:28] <oskar-> klaxian:  another idea: look for trash folders on other partitions/drives...
[19:28] <Dabbu> after installing kde desktop in ubuntu it has changed look of vlc,opera and other ...h how can i back to gnome style ?
[19:29] <klaxian> oskar-: after deleting the Trash directory, it got recreated as you said, but the applet still reports 29 files
[19:29] <KiberGluk> hi people's
[19:29] <andymd> D-MAN_, you should install the program in wine and run it later
[19:29] <klaxian> oskar-: i don't have anything else mounted except the temp and system stuff
[19:29] <Alca7raz> does anyone know of any software to forward a usb device through the internet?
[19:30] <klaxian> oskar-: the old trash directory doesn't exist because this computer started out on intrepid
[19:30] <lolwut> where can I get nightly builds?
[19:30] <lolwut> if possible
[19:30] <Dabbu> after installing kde desktop in ubuntu it has changed look of vlc,opera and other ...h how can i back to gnome style ?
[19:31] <bartek> norbert79: So my install stalled again at 59% on a different hard drive. Maybe I am burning the CD with some incorrect options? Maybe LG Dvd/burners have issues with Ubuntu? There's no way it can be two bad HD's (the one I just tried had a perfectrly fine XP install running on it)
[19:31] <klaxian> oskar-: i found the problem.  apparently the trash applet had that number stuck in memory or something
[19:31] <klaxian> oskar-: removing and re-adding the applet fixed it
[19:31] <klaxian> oskar-: thanks for the help :)
[19:32] <norbert79> bartek: I am starting to think, that you have an issue with your CD burner then... ok, try to burn the image at 8x, turn on the "verify" option
[19:32] <oskar-> klaxian:  that would have been the next: killall trashapplet ;-)
[19:32] <deadvirus> can I have 3D aceleration in Intrepid with an ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600?
[19:32] <lolwut> anyone...
[19:32] <klaxian> oskar-: hehe yah ;)  i only ask in the channel after i've exhausted the normal troubleshooting
[19:32] <klaxian> oskar-: thanks again
[19:32] <oskar-> no problem... bye
[19:33] <norbert79> deadvirus: I think you are looking for xserver-xorg-video-ati
[19:33] <norbert79> deadvirus: sorry, it's xorg-driver-fglrx I assume
[19:33] <deadvirus> i know... but does it enables 3d acel on my card?
[19:33] <norbert79> deadvirus: it should, if not, go to System/settings/apperance
[19:34] <deadvirus> in hardy it works... but I read that theres a bug with intrepid
[19:34] <norbert79> deadvirus: and turn on the 3d effects...
[19:34] <bartek> norbert79: thanks, I will try that ..

[19:36] <cousin_luigi> hello
[19:36] <starhawk> I am installing 8.10 64 on an emachine with 3 gigs of ram 3200 processor and the install stops at initramfs anyone know what it wants me to do
[19:36] <norbert79> deadvirus: I use Intel based chipsets or Nvidia, I am familiar with ATI on a very limited level
[19:36]  * cousin_luigi just installed 8.10 64 bit and can't move panels
[19:36] <cousin_luigi> :/
[19:36] <jrib> norbert79: favorite_text_editor instead of ide and I'd definitely recommend wxpython for cross-platform.  This is a better question for #python though
[19:36] <deadvirus> hum ok...
[19:36] <jrib> nikin: favorite_text_editor instead of ide and I'd definitely recommend wxpython for cross-platform.  This is a better question for #python though
[19:37] <Ehsen> I have ubuntu cd and wanna upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 how can i do that. When I insert cd in my drive nothing happens.
[19:37] <Alca7raz1> cousin_luigi: make sure you allow the panels to move
[19:37] <norbert79> Ehsen: Did you try to use the package manager too? :)
[19:38] <cousin_luigi> Alca7raz1: where is it supposed to be set?
[19:38] <Ehsen> yep
[19:38] <Alca7raz1> cousin_luigi: right click a panel, should be one of the options
[19:38] <lolwut> apt-get dist-upgrade?
[19:38] <cousin_luigi> oh thanks
[19:38] <norbert79> Ehsen: Normally the update manager offers you with the option :) or you jsut want to use sudo apt-get distupgrade
[19:38] <cousin_luigi> it's not set as default on 32bit
[19:38] <norbert79> Ehsen: Normally the update manager offers you with the option :) or you jsut want to use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:39] <Ehsen> that command start to upgrade from internet not from cd

[19:39] <steyt> I see.
[19:39] <steyt> Thanks
[19:39] <jrib> steyt: use old-releases.ubuntu.com
[19:39] <norbert79> Ehsen: I think the Live CD offers you with an update at the start... You might be still asked on having updated some packages through the net after all...
[19:39] <steyt> thanks.

[19:53] <norbert79> Coggz: Guess thats mission impossible
[19:53] <norbert79> Coggz: You have to be able to access at least the partition where you have it installed
