[03:48] <athleone> Formode: It doesn't blink when Appearance is none. Whee.
[03:49] <DasEi>  BladeMcCool: install displayconfig-gtk and run it, config monitor, backup xorg before (video driver)
[03:49] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[03:49] <vexati0n> do Ubuntu (or other) devs plan on releasing a fix for nautilus accessing restricted Samba shares?
[03:49] <vexati0n> it's getting annoying having to run smb4k
[03:49] <formode> athleone, Then we can fix it. :) "Add/Remove..." and search up "Compiz"
[03:49] <Ziroday> vexati0n: that is handled by gnome. Talk to them
[03:49] <stgove>  Does anyone know of any really good (free) ubuntu server side video chat software?
[03:49] <stgove>   I want to run my own private video chat server, vlc isn't what i am looking for...
[03:49] <lan> hey everyone
[03:50] <athleone> fomode: Now what?
[03:50] <dr_willis> vexati0n,  i find that often i just have to enter the proper share names/paths and it works.. Or i use the smbfuse tools to mount the whole network.
[03:50] <danbh_intrepid> stgove: sip is not what you are looking for?
[03:50] <formode> athleone: Click Apply, let it downoad. :)
[03:50] <angela> i'm sorry
[03:50] <formode> athleone, wait. xD
[03:50] <angela> i'm new
[03:50] <athleone> formode: which one? theres a lot....
[03:50] <athleone> formode: is it compiz fusion icon?
[03:50] <formode> athleone, Ok, see advanced desktop effects?
[03:50] <angela> how can i delete all the files and folders inside ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* on a dialy basis?
[03:50] <athleone> formode: yep
[03:50] <athleone> formode wait not
[03:50] <formode> Athleone, Check that, and click apply. Let it download.
[03:50] <Ziroday> angela: add it to cron with crontab
[03:50] <athleone> formode I only see desktop effects.
[03:51] <angela> how to do that?
[03:51] <athleone> formode: is that enough?
[03:51] <BladeMcCool> video drive?R i just want to edit a file somewhere so that after i reboot it goes to 1440x900 instead of whatever its being sent right now.
[03:51] <formode> Athleone, Theres no "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (CCSM)" aption?
[03:51] <stgove> let me go google sip
[03:51] <lan> i'm trying to install 9.04, but gparted can't see my partitions. what's funny is that the partition used to have 7.10 installed on it, and i'm running the live cd right now, and nautilus can see all the partitions
[03:51] <FAJ> Ziroday:  as if we'd be so lucky ;)
[03:51] <physically_fit> !crontab | angela
[03:52] <athleone> formode: wait, sorry, my fault, yes there is.
[03:52] <formode> athleone, Get it. :)
[03:52] <BladeMcCool> is there a safe-mode?
[03:52] <athleone> formode: kay, thanks.
[03:52] <angela> thank you physically_fit
[03:52] <Ziroday> FAJ: told ya, you need to compile the -ng driver. It tells you below on that wikipage. You might wanna try out intrepid which has ath5k which should support that card
[03:52] <athleone> formode: pardon my inexperience and all, I'm 12 and I'm new to Ubuntu.
[03:53] <BladeMcCool> in windoze you would boot into safe-mode when you buy a new monitor and it would stick it in low rez and then you could pick the rsolution you wanted. i cant do anything b/c  the screen is blank after ubuntu boots now. how do i boot into low res safe mode?
[03:53] <Flannel> athleone: Don't worry about it.  We all have to start somewhere.
[03:53] <formode> athleone, Once you get it, open it, then go under General (at the top) and uncheck "Unredirect Fulllscreen windows"
[03:53] <FAJ> ziroday; heck why now lol.  how can i do a terminal upgrade?  sudo upgraded?
[03:53] <danbh_intrepid> Ziroday: wait till the beta of intrepid before you suggest ath5k support.  Right now, its sketchy
[03:53] <athleone> formode: At least I'm good at programming XD
[03:53] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[03:53] <athleone> formode: kay.
[03:53] <Ziroday> danbh_intrepid: have had different mileage myself.
[03:53] <lfaraone> Hey, is it a problem if I use w.ubuntu.com for the spec for a personal compsci project?
[03:53] <Ziroday> FAJ: I strongly recommend you try compiling the -ng drivers first
[03:53] <formode> Athleone, Age is no excuse. :) I'd be happy to help you as much as I can, but I'm not overly experienced myself, I can't even fix a stupid Reboot problem./
[03:54] <FAJ> ziroday; why?  jw
[03:54] <danbh_intrepid> Ziroday: maybe its fine then, I dunno
[03:54] <athleone> formode: Kay :)
[03:54] <Flannel> lfaraone: come to #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll talk about it (I'm not really sure what you're asking)
[03:54] <Ziroday> FAJ: sure its your computer. Go ahead
[03:55] <formode> Athleone, Terminal is so beautiful once you set it up right, same with Gedit. :D
[03:55] <FAJ> Ziroday:  i literally JUST installed ubuntu on it; i formatted the hdd on it... do you know the command from ubuntu to do a distribution upgrade?
[03:55] <danbh_intrepid> FAJ: update-manager -d
[03:55] <Ziroday> FAJ: iirc sudo update-manager -c -d
[03:55] <athleone> formode: done.
[03:55] <athleone> formode: and I know UNIX anywayz :P
[03:55] <Guma_>  I am thinking about installing latest ubuntu.  But I have some questions about vitualization since I have to run Windows for some things. What is the best/easiest to setup/fastes VM software that can be installed synaptic
[03:55] <formode> athleone, Did your problem resolve?
[03:56] <brett> guma if you don't require usb support in the VM you can install virtualbox-ose
[03:56] <brett> from synaptic
[03:56] <Ziroday> Guma_: vmware is in the canonical partner repos and its easy to setup
[03:56] <dinx> Guma_,  depends. theres VBox, Qemu etc
[03:56] <matt____1> unop: Do you know how to make bash scripts loop?
[03:56] <matt____1> unop: if so, do you have a link to a good tutorial?
[03:56] <FAJ> Ziroday:  ty
[03:56] <Ziroday> Guma_: but I would go with virtualbox-ose like brett said
[03:56] <athleone> formode: you mean I can appearance extra now?
[03:56] <Ziroday> FAJ: have fun
[03:57] <Guma_> Out of the opensource what is the best option? Easy to setup and its speed and stability
[03:57] <FAJ> thank God for a live cd lol all i would have to do is reinstall hardy if worse comes to worse ;)
[03:57] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[03:57] <dinx> Guma_, VBox
[03:57] <BladeMcCool> going to try "recovery mode" and see if it shows a picture after booting.
[03:57] <codernator> Hello - I'm looking for help on upgrading Breezy Badger ultimately to Hardy.  Since Breezy-Badger is no longer officially supported, the automatic update no longer functions.
[03:57] <formode> Athleone, I suppose you could call it that. That pref pane allows you to customize compiz. :)
[03:58] <Flannel> codernator: You'll upgrade breezy to dapper and then from dapper straight to hardy.
[03:58] <Guma_> Is there ubuntu for x86_64. I see that there is only version for Amd64 and x86
[03:58] <athleone> formode: I made it extra and it doesnt work :(
[03:58] <codernator> Guma - that's what I figured, but I'm not sure how to get the dapper upgrade started either.
[03:58] <formode> Athleone, go to Advanced desktop settings and under General uncheck the "unredirect fullscreen windows"
[03:59] <pxwebdev_> how can I capture the results of a telnet session from the terminal to a log file.
[03:59] <Flannel> codernator: first, you'll need to edit your sources.list and point your repos to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ instead of archive.ubuntu.com (or whatever mirror you're using).  This will still be for breezy at the moment.
[03:59] <Flannel> Guma_: AMD64 is x86_64
[03:59] <pxwebdev_> previously i used something like "script telnet xxx.xx.xx.xxx >file.txt but I can remember the exact format
[04:00] <athleone> formode I already did that.
[04:00] <pxwebdev_> can anyone tell me what im missing?
[04:00] <formode> athleone, make sure it's unchecked.
[04:00] <athleone> formode it is.
[04:00] <Flannel> codernator: Is this an Ubuntu box? Kubuntu?  Server?
[04:00] <formode> Hm.
[04:00] <pxwebdev_> that was wierd
[04:00] <formode> Athleone Still the problem?
[04:00] <athleone> formode yes.
[04:01] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:01] <formode> Athleone Hmmm, out of my grasp right now (Trying to get something to work xD) ask around. :) Should be a command to turn off compiz when you run a game and turn it back on when you exit
[04:01] <unop> matt____1, http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide/TheBasics/  - search for conditional loops
[04:01] <IMaverick> how could i check if package xyz is available in the repository
[04:01] <Nallep> How can I get gimp to recognize the eraser on my wacom bamboo tablet?  I have the stylus working fine with pressure and the mouse works fine, but the eraser just acts like the default stylus and I can't figure out how to get it to automagically switch to the eraser.  I have the eraser, cursor and stylus set to screen mode in the gimp device configuration. (Gimp 2.4.5 on Ubuntu 8.04)
[04:02] <Guma_> How close is next ubunto release?
[04:02] <athleone> formode: Uhhhh. how do I ask for that? :S
[04:02] <Floid> Hmm, is it me, or on any decent sized FS (80GB) will ext3 reserve like 20MB per GDT-that-gets-stored-with-superblock-backup with the resize_inode default on?
[04:02] <BladeMcCool> how do i install displayconfig-gtk ?
[04:02] <Flannel> IMaverick: apt-cache search [terms] to find a package name (searches name and description) if you already know the package name, apt-cache policy package
[04:02] <athleone> formode: totally confused XD
[04:02] <codernator> Flannel: Ubuntu standard
[04:02] <danbh_intrepid> Guma_: its all in the title, 8.10
[04:02] <Flannel> codernator: Alright, and which kernel are you using?
[04:02] <DasEi> IMaverick:apt-cache search <name>
[04:02] <BladeMcCool> apt-get install right?
[04:02] <unop> IMaverick, apt-cache policy xyz  #should tell you the source of a package
[04:02] <formode> athleone: "Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it?"
[04:02] <athleone> Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it
[04:02] <DasEi>  BladeMcCool: install displayconfig-gtk and run it, config monitor, backup xorg before (video driver) sudo apt-get install displayconfig  (!who)
[04:02] <unop> matt____1, infact you should bookmark this - http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide/
[04:03] <BladeMcCool> couldnt find package displayconfig-gtk
[04:03] <DasEi> !who
[04:03] <IMaverick> Alannel, DasEi, iwant to search uninstalled available packages
[04:03] <BladeMcCool> Dasei: couldnt find package displayconfig-gtk
[04:03] <Flannel> codernator: You can find out with uname -a
[04:03] <matt____1> unop: Thanks
[04:03] <athleone_> Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it
[04:03] <codernator> Flannel: is there a place I can find the kernel version  without rebooting?
[04:03] <Guma_> danbh_intrepid - I did look in the title but I do not see the release date for 8.10.
[04:03] <DasEi>  BladeMcCool: looking up..
[04:03] <matt____1> unop: That's one bashguive I haven't found via google :)
[04:03] <IMaverick> Flannel, DasEi, iwant to search uninstalled available packages
[04:04] <Flannel> codernator: version isn't important, we're just looking for the arch (stuff after the last dash)  like -386 or -686 or -k7
[04:04] <athleone_> Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it
[04:04] <mn> danch_intrepid:  8.10 is to be release October 30
[04:04] <Flannel> IMaverick: apt-cache search blah
[04:04] <mn> released*
[04:04] <unop> matt____1, it's a work-in-progress a contribution from the guys in #bash
[04:04] <danbh_intrepid> Guma_: 8.10 is the release date, Ill let you think about it for a sec.  If you cant get it, Ill fill you in
[04:04] <Guma_> danbh_intrepid - Thanx. That make sence. Sorry new to it
[04:05] <KoN8392> hi all
[04:05] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:05] <danbh_intrepid> Guma_: you didnt do anything wrong  : P
[04:05] <KoN8392> how do I move files around in the GUI browser with Super User power?
[04:05] <KoN8392> ie. how do I run file browser in SU mode
[04:06] <unop> KoN8392, gksudo nautilus  #but be very careful
[04:06] <Flannel> KoN8392: alt-f2, gksu nautilus, be *very* careful and close it as soon as you're done.
[04:06] <pxwebdev_> how can i capture the details of a shell telnet session to a text file?
[04:06] <DasEi>  BladeMcCool:sudo apt-get install displayconfig
[04:06] <KoN8392> cool thanks!
[04:06] <DasEi>  BladeMcCool:sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk ,sry
[04:06] <phuzion> I have two machines, both of which are secured with good passwords, but both are shared environments as well.  How safe would it be to use a shared key without a passphrase to authenticate between these two machines?
[04:06] <unop> pxwebdev_, you could use script - see the manpage on how to use it
[04:06] <unop> pxwebdev_, man script #i.e.
[04:06] <Nallep> phuzion: does anyone else have access to your machines?
[04:07] <KoN8392> what would a safer way to move files around be? im trying to install a gdesklet, but i dont have permission
[04:07] <DasEi> IMaverick:apt-cache search <name>  or <nam*>
[04:07] <xee> Hi, I have a simple question, when an application has two configuration files, one is system wide, in /etc/ and another per-user, in ~, if something is not specified in the per-user config file, should the value in the system wide one be used or what? or it depends on the application?
[04:07] <phuzion> Nallep, yes, they are shared environments.
[04:07] <phuzion> Nallep, some users have sudo, most do not though
[04:07] <Flannel> xee: thats generally a safe assumption, but the app could technically do whatever it wants
[04:07] <DasEi> IMaverick:could also use paketmanager (synaptic)
[04:07] <codernator> Flannel - Still not sure if it's 386 or 686.   I know it's not K7
[04:07] <unop> KoN8392, well, using nautilus under sudo is safe - just as long as you limit it's use - close the window down as soon as you're done
[04:08] <Flannel> codernator: What kernel are you using?
[04:08] <DasEi> codernator: install n run hwinfo...
[04:08] <Flannel> codernator: (currently) see uname -a (you can just paste that output here if you want)
[04:08] <danbh_intrepid> codernator: that doesnt matter...
[04:08] <Nallep> phuzion: if you trust the users who do have sudo to not screw around with your other machine, then it should be fine as long as you turn off read permissions for others
[04:08] <codernator> flannel: 386
[04:08] <KoN8392> okie dokie
[04:09] <BladeMcCool> Daesei: cant find either package. dont worry about it i am giving up for now too tired to deal with this inane crap. when you hook up a new monitor it should jfw. peace
[04:09] <unop> xee, generally,  options passed to the program override those in user configuration files - which in turn override global configuration files
[04:09] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:09] <RyanPrior> hello, greenmanwitch. Welcome to #ubuntu!@
[04:09] <Nallep> phuzion: but if you can't trust the super users, then keep your keys passworded and use ssh-agent
[04:09] <Flannel> codernator: alright, have you changed your sources.list to use the old-release archive?
[04:09] <xee> ok, thanks Flannel and unop
[04:09] <phuzion> Nallep, I feel like I can trust them, but the thing is I need a way to have this automated.  It's for a nightly backup script
[04:10] <codernator> flannel: yeah.  http://old-release.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
[04:10] <hardcore> do all external dvd burners work in ubuntu?
[04:10] <phuzion> Which will be handled with cron job
[04:10] <error404notfound> How can I install vista themes in emerald?
[04:10] <phuzion> a cron job*
[04:10] <KoN8392> argh! anyone know the trick to running gdesklets?
[04:10] <Flannel> codernator: Alright, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard linux-386
[04:10] <Nallep> phuzion: look into making ssh keys that can only execute one command then log out
[04:10] <KoN8392> I've moved the desklet folder to the proper directory, however I cant load the file!
[04:11] <phuzion> Nallep, Like, a specific command, or just any one command?
[04:11] <RyanPrior> error404notfound: Are you trolling?
[04:11] <error404notfound> RyanPrior: sorry?
[04:12] <Flannel> codernator: then reboot to grab the kernel update, after that, change your sources.list back to the archive ones, and change breezy to dapper.  Then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:12] <unop> KoN8392, I would refer to the gdesklets documentation
[04:12] <Flannel> codernator: After that, you'll be on your way to dapper.  And then you can upgrade to hardy from here
[04:12] <athleone_> Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it
[04:12] <Flannel> !upgrade | codernator
[04:12] <kindofabuzz> error404notfound, there are several vista like emerald themes
[04:12] <KoN8392> cool
[04:12] <codernator> flannel: could not resolve http://old-release.ubuntu.com
[04:12] <RyanPrior> error404notfound: Emerald is no longer around. It's been merged back into Compiz. Windows themes do not work in Compiz - you need to get one specifically made. There are several Vista imitations if you look on deviantart, etc.
[04:12] <error404notfound> kindofabuzz: I can't seem to find them when I search in emerald.
[04:12] <Flannel> codernator: Sorry, old-releases
[04:13] <Nallep> phuzion: a specific command, you can setup a key to login and only execute a specified command
[04:13] <kindofabuzz> error404notfound, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vista+Transformation+Pack+for+GNOME?content=63106
[04:13] <athleone> there used to be sound when I played games. now there is none. How come?
[04:13] <phuzion> Nallep, Awesome, thanks.  I'll look into it.
[04:13] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:13] <codernator> flannel: much better :) thanks
[04:13] <Nallep> phuzion: make a script on the server to do your build and transfer files, then have the ssh key run that script
[04:13] <codernator> flannel: 0 upgraded, installed, removed, not upgraded
[04:13] <Guma_> Does Skype 2.0 on work well on 8.04?
[04:14] <danbh_intrepid> athleone_: a start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867737
[04:14] <Flannel> codernator: that doesn't surprise me.  That was mostly to double check you were up to date (and those metapackages were installed)
[04:14] <kindofabuzz> error404notfound, you have to look on the internet for themes, emerald theme manager doesn't download for you
[04:14] <Flannel> codernator: So, you don't need to reboot (since theres no kernel change).  So go ahead and continue (changing sources to dapper, etc)
[04:14] <Flannel> codernator: Also, one more thing.  once you get to hardy, you may want to consider using the -generic kernel (linux-generic) instead of linux-386
[04:14] <athleone> danbh_interpid: what does that do?
[04:14] <error404notfound> kindofabuzz: ahan... I was watching a video tutorial on youtube, and that guy had it, so I though may be emerald fetches a list from internet just like gnome-art-manager
[04:14] <RyanPrior> Guma_: There's a way to find out. :-)
[04:15] <phuzion> Alright, thanks Nallep
[04:15] <kindofabuzz> error404notfound, nope
[04:15] <liza0_> if a server has ubuntu server installed how easy is it to install xfce on to it
[04:15] <danbh_intrepid> !tab > athleone dan<tab> will get my whole name I believe
[04:15] <error404notfound> liza0_: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <unop> liza0_, quite easy
[04:15] <liza0_> nice
[04:15] <liza0_> thanks
[04:15] <Guma_> Well I am thinking between CentOS and Ubunto :) I figure I ask people first
[04:15] <codernator> flannel: is there a good list of dapper sources?  my sources.list file currently only include the CD and the old-releases.  I tried doing this before I came onto this board and totally hosed my system, presumably because I chose my sources poorly.
[04:15] <kindofabuzz> error404notfound, http://www.compiz-themes.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103
[04:15] <danbh_intrepid> !tab > athleone_
[04:16] <error404notfound> Guma_: depends... I like deb based, so my servers run ubuntu
[04:16] <Flannel> codernator: Generally http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/   (where cc is your country code) is a good place to start
[04:16] <codernator> flannel: thanks for the advice on the generic kernel.  noted.
[04:16] <RyanPrior> Guma_: It should work well on both, I think. Google certainly indicated that it works well on Ubuntu.
[04:16] <pxwebdev_> unop, thanks that got me what I needed :)
[04:16] <athleone> Sooo... Theres no script for this?
[04:17] <athleone_> When I play games there is no sound anymore. How come?
[04:17] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:17] <RyanPrior> athleone_: What games? What changed?
[04:17] <phuzion> Nallep, so, what you're saying is one script to make the backup files, one script to send the files off, and one script to execute the file sending?  third script executes second, which executes the first
[04:17] <athleone> RyanPrior: I used to have sound for Wormux. Now there is no sound.
[04:17] <phuzion> And the third script is called in with cron
[04:18] <athleone> RyanPrior and yes, my sound is working well for everything other than games.
[04:18] <RyanPrior> athleone: Perhaps something is blocking the audio device. Does it work if you run it with pasuspender?
[04:18] <Nallep> phuzion: well depends on what your doing, I'd just put it all in one script and execute it all at once
[04:18] <athleone> RyanPrior: uhhh. what?
[04:18] <phuzion> Alright, I'll see what I can dig up on Google.  Thanks for the help, Nal
[04:19] <phuzion> Nallep*
[04:19] <RyanPrior> athleone: I don't know what the command is to run wormux - but if it's "wormux", then try running "pasuspender wormux" and see how that goes.
[04:20] <turtles> I have 3x disks formatted as ext3 in a mdadm array (md0 currently unformatted I think), is there an easy way to change it to xfs?
[04:21] <athleone> RyanPrior It works now. Do I have to do it every single time?
[04:21] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:21] <DasEi> how to install dazuko properly ?
[04:22] <RyanPrior> athleone: If you usually launch from the menu, you can use Alacarte (System -> Preferences -> Main Menu) to include pasuspender in the launcher.
[04:22] <RyanPrior> athleone: In the long term, you should file a bug against wormux asking that they make it play nicely with PulseAudio.
[04:23] <mn> What command can I use to see what version I got?
[04:23] <unop> mn, version of ubuntu?
[04:23] <mn> yep
[04:24] <unop> turtles, not without losing data already existing on the array.
[04:24] <unop> !version | mn
[04:25] <DasEi>  mn: see also : uname -r
[04:25] <Decepticon> they said they gave me hardy heron, but when i do uname -a, i see Linux ks361773.kimsufi.com <IP_ADDRESS>-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32 #3 SMP Wed May 28 09:09:25 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:25] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:25] <unop> DasEi, that doesn't tell you the ubuntu version
[04:25] <mn> DasEi:  yep, but i didn't need to know the kernel
[04:25] <Decepticon> how hard will it be for me to upgrade to ntrepeid ibex when it comes out given my sutioaton?
[04:25] <athleone> ryanprior: where do I use alacarte?
[04:25] <shirish>  hi guys, does anybody know how to enable the partner repositories in ubuntu
[04:26] <shirish> I'm editing the /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:26] <unop> Decepticon, it shouldn't be very hard - the same upgrade method applies
[04:26] <Decepticon> unop even with my really different hardy heron
[04:26] <shirish> I just want to know the exact line for the source package
[04:26] <DasEi>  mn: see also : uname -a, better see unop :D
[04:26] <codernator> flannel: many thanks.  i am currently running apt-get dist-upgrade on all the dapper sources i saw
[04:27] <error404notfound> can someone explain what Point 2 under  Start Logos installation: means on http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vista+Transformation+Pack+for+GNOME?content=63106
[04:27] <unop> Decepticon, i'm not sure what you mean by that - how different is your ubuntu?
[04:27] <amicrawler> when playing a game on line my mouse will not respond
[04:27] <Decepticon> unop like i said, i have Linux ks361773.kimsufi.com <IP_ADDRESS>-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32 #3 SMP Wed May 28 09:09:25 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:27] <DasEi> shirish: unkomment the two lines saying partner
[04:27] <amicrawler> when holding down the w to walk
[04:27] <amicrawler> any ideas
[04:27] <unop> DasEi, it's besides the point - better, i dunno
[04:27] <shirish> DasEi: I don't have two lines which says partner
[04:27] <katie_> hello i need help with burning music to a cd
[04:28] <amicrawler> happen on any on line game with ubuntu
[04:28] <shirish> DasEi: can you paste or send me the lines I need to add in /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:28] <unop> Decepticon, what does that mean to me?   if you want to know your ubuntu version. use  lsb_release -a
[04:28] <DasEi> shirish:peparing pm...
[04:28] <SuperQ> So if I install Ubuntu with the alternate installer, do my choices (partman mostly) to all the settings get saved anywhere?
[04:29] <shirish> DasEi: thanx
[04:29] <athleone> ryanprior: where do I use alacarte?
[04:29] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:29] <Decepticon> unop, it just seemd to me the packaged ubuntu hardy heron they gave me (as lsb_release -a confirms) is a bit different from the hardy heron i would get from a iso
[04:29] <hardcore> do all external dvd burners work in ubuntu?
[04:29] <amicrawler> any body have any ideas
[04:29] <amicrawler> when playing a game on line my mouse will not respond
[04:29] <SuperQ> hardcore: "all" is a strong word, but most
[04:29] <amicrawler> happen on any on line game with ubuntu
[04:29] <amicrawler> any body have any ideas
[04:29] <SuperQ> hardcore: there are some buggy devices, but I've found that most work fine these days
[04:29] <unop> Decepticon, how is it different exactly?
[04:30] <sloopy> amicrawler, use a usb inet connection?
[04:30] <katie_> can anyone tell me how to burn music from limewire to a cd?
[04:30] <amicrawler> sloop what do you mean by that
[04:30] <hardcore> which ones preferred?
[04:30] <amicrawler> i have usb yes
[04:31] <sloopy> do you use a cablemodem plugged into a usb port, a usb to enet adaptor, etc
[04:31] <RyanPrior> athleone: I don't understand the question. What are you asking?
[04:31] <amicrawler> eth0 by all means
[04:31] <Decepticon> unop i cant install prevu because of grsec and smething to do with chroot and mounting procfs
[04:31] <athleone> Ryanprior: you told me to use alacarte.
[04:31] <kavon> Quick question: if I update my ubuntu server via command line, will it inform me that I need to reboot for the changes to take place or do I just have to assume?
[04:31] <DasEi> katie_:use kr3b or nero or...
[04:31] <Decepticon> unop that seems significantly different from straight up iso hardy heron
[04:31] <RyanPrior> athleone: Yes. If you usually launch your game from the menu, you should use alacarte to edit the launcher.
[04:32] <sloopy> what is eth0? onboard ethernet port?
[04:32] <smokewon> Hey there, im about to install Ubuntu 8.04 using the live CD, ive already got slackware and windows xp installed, im planning to install Ubuntu over the slackware partition, though the other day when i tried to resize my partitions using the Ubuntu live cd, i extended the windows partition slightly and after rebooting i was then unable to boot windows(using lilo that is), is there someway to safely resize a windows xp partition without m
[04:32] <amicrawler> yes
[04:32] <athleone> ryanprior how?
[04:32] <sloopy> mouse is usb?
[04:32] <amicrawler> yes
[04:32] <unop> Decepticon, ok, who gives you this setup? an ISP or hosting service?
[04:32] <Decepticon> unop a hosting service
[04:33] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:33] <katie_> DasEi: how do i do that im not that familar with Ubuntu
[04:33] <Decepticon> i am wondering about the difficultiy ill encounter if i upgrade to ibex from this version of hardy..
[04:33] <smokewon> oh and does the live cd give you the option of creating a USB boot disk?
[04:33] <Decepticon> and knowing linux i know its goign to be totally batshit impossible
[04:34] <hardcore> which external dvd burners are most preferred?
[04:34] <hardcore> don't wanna buy a bad one
[04:34] <sloopy> try different usb port for mouse? i have seen this issue with inet connection that goes through usb
[04:34] <unop> Decepticon, it sounds to be like you are using a virtual server - if that's the case, you won't be able to upgrade the kernel and other packages/modules that depend on the kernel version - so i guess that elemitates the possibility of upgrading to ubuntu+1
[04:34] <DasEi> katie_:nero (free triel, works with win-key) is at nero HP, or terminal : sudo apt-get install k3b
[04:34] <DasEi> trial
[04:34] <Decepticon> unop im not on a vps
[04:34] <hardcore> i don't have a mouse, my laptop has a direction stick
[04:34] <Nallep> phuzion: look into the command option for your authorized_keys file (read man authorized_keys)
[04:34] <unop> Decepticon, but you really should be talking to your service provider about upgrades, etc
[04:35] <Decepticon> hm ok
[04:35] <hardcore> which external dvd burners are most recommended? don't wanna buy a bad one
[04:35] <RyanPrior> athleone: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu
[04:35] <unop> Decepticon, if you are not on a VPS - the chroot thing wouldn't make sense
[04:35] <KoN8392> What "type" of theme do I need to download to change the basic window borders/colors etc? I dont want to run emeryl or compiz because this laptop is so old!
[04:35] <RyanPrior> KoN8392: check out gnome-look.org
[04:35] <katie_> DasEi: after i load k3b i can use it to burn the music
[04:35] <vgambit> is there any way to make it so that if I open 4 mp3 files one after the other, each newly opened file will be opened in the previous instance of the media player?
[04:35] <hardcore> i tried out gOS today, compiz wasn't on it so it sucked
[04:36] <KoN8392> RyanPrior: I am there. However i cant figure out what type of theme to grab
[04:36] <DasEi> katie_:yup, install it and run from the apps menu
[04:36] <vgambit> because right now, if I open 4 files, they'll have 4 different instances of the same media player running at the same time, and I'll then have to manually close the other programs
[04:36] <DarknessssenkraD> hi anyone :P
[04:36] <katie_> DasEi: ok ill see if that works
[04:36] <katie_> thx
[04:36] <hardcore> which external dvd burners are most recommended? don't wanna buy a bad one
[04:36] <DarknessssenkraD> have anybody manage to install Spore under Hardy ?
[04:36] <RyanPrior> DarknessssenkraD: why such a long name? It takes up our screen space. :-(
[04:36] <Decepticon> unop a dude asked me if "do you run a hardened kernel that would not permit chroots or mounting of procfs?" and he said to do 'uname -a' and said 'yeah you are running a grsec kernel'
[04:37] <Decepticon> this was when i was trying to install prevu, and it farted on me
[04:37] <DasEi> !best>hardcore
[04:37] <DarknessssenkraD> RyanPrior: sorry :P
[04:37] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:37] <hardcore> how do i do that?
[04:37] <RyanPrior> DarknessssenkraD: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8185
[04:37] <nevagonnagiveuup> Instead of forking ubuntu, and creating two competing distros, why didn't Canonical just combine efforts on debian? Canonical would have been a great commerical backbone to Debian, perhaps creating an "Easy" version of Debian.
[04:38] <DasEi> hardcore: most big brands samsung, lg, toshiba... work without problems , or google for ubuntu harwaredatabase
[04:38] <nevagonnagiveuup> as well as a standard debian
[04:38] <unop> Decepticon, hmm - that's possible - but i can't really comment, only your provider can tell you exactly if it's possible to upgrade and if so, how you go about it
[04:38] <hardcore> what about the cheap ones?
[04:38] <RyanPrior> greenmanwitch is a bot that says hello every few minutes.
[04:38] <Decepticon> hm ok
[04:38] <DarknessssenkraD> RyanPrior: I have seen that... I was asking if someone could do it... from here
[04:38] <DasEi> hardcore: #hardware
[04:38] <smokewon> basically, how safe is it to resize(extend in my case) a windows partition that is at the end of the harddrive(ie. linux parition is hda1, swap is hda2, windows is hda3) without rendering windows xp unbootable?
[04:38] <DarknessssenkraD> maybe :P
[04:39] <katie_> DasEi: it says i need to convert the files
[04:39] <c3w_girls> uy.............cemuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
[04:39] <nevagonnagiveuup> forking debian*
[04:39] <amicrawler> sloop no change
[04:39] <Ziroday> c3w_girls: english only please
[04:39] <amicrawler> even mouse in its own port
[04:39] <amicrawler> happen on any opengl game
[04:39] <DasEi> smokewon:97,34 % good, defrag win-drive before and save valuable data
[04:39] <amicrawler> like quake4  etc:
[04:39] <amicrawler> ut4
[04:40] <Ziroday> nevagonnagiveuup: discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:40] <smokewon> ah ok, thanks, ill do that now
[04:40] <RyanPrior> !offtopic | nevagonnagiveuup
[04:40] <DasEi> katie_:kinda files ? wma ? mp3 ?
[04:40] <hardcore> is it a good idea to install alpha?
[04:40] <RyanPrior> hardcore: No. It is a bad idea.
[04:40] <Flannel> hardcore: No.  Its alpha software.
[04:40] <Ziroday> hardcore: see #ubuntu-1
[04:40] <smokewon> ofc, the defrag, i dont believe i had defraged before resizing last time, so that might of made some sort of problem, although because im actually extending the partition, would i still need to defrag?
[04:40] <hardcore> what about beta?
[04:41] <RyanPrior> hardcore: It's not a good idea to install until final release.
[04:41]  * DarknessssenkraD is sad
[04:41] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:41] <RyanPrior> !anyone | DarknessssenkraD
[04:41] <hardcore> oh ok wasn't sure. 8.4 beta seemed to work just fine
[04:41] <katie_> DasEi: they are mp3 and it says i need to convert them to waves
[04:41] <hardcore> seemed like i installed updates every day though, in beta
[04:42] <DasEi> smokewon:i would always do so, as it also corrects bad fileinformationns
[04:42] <smokewon> ah true, ok ill try that now, thx for advice DasEi
[04:42] <Ziroday> hardcore: intrepid talk in #ubuntu+1 please
[04:42] <RyanPrior> hardcore: That's how betas work - stuff breaks, and is fixed, frequently. Unless you're willing to deal with constant breakage, alphas and betas are not for you - and thus, it is a bad idea to install one.
[04:42] <DasEi> katie_:thats strange, tried to burn em as datafiles ?
[04:42] <DarknessssenkraD> mmm nevermind
[04:43] <katie_> DasEi: i cant even add them to be burned it comes up with that i need to convert them
[04:43] <hardcore> i didn't say anything about intreped, i just said alpha and beta, didn't refer to a specific one
[04:43] <Ziroday> hardcore: this is a support channel. Unless you have an issue please go to #ubuntu-offtopic to chat
[04:44] <hardcore> ok
[04:44] <greenmanwitch> RyanPrior: how dare you call me a bot :P
[04:45] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:45] <katie_> DasEi: any ideas on what i should do?
[04:45] <DasEi> katie_:hmm, I can burn mp3, converting is always a downgrade, try : sudo apt.get install ubuntu-restricted-extras,  maybe a codec issue
[04:46] <DasEi> apt-get
[04:46] <case^> compiz is all installed and working - what are the shortcuts please
[04:46] <DasEi> k3b doesn't burn mp3 ?
[04:47] <richard_> Anyone know where I can get sound (files) I assume *.wav for gnome for various interactions?
[04:47] <Ziroday> case^: for what?
[04:47] <case^> to show the cube
[04:47] <Ziroday> richard_: you mean sorta like a sound theme?
[04:47] <Ziroday> case^: ctrl + alt + left click
[04:47] <richard_> Yes
[04:47] <katie_> DasEi: im checking if its a codec issue
[04:48] <Ziroday> richard_: one sec
[04:48] <Ziroday> richard_: check out this ppa https://launchpad.net/~kwwii/+archive, inside is a package called ubuntu-sounds which has sounds for many events
[04:48] <richard_> thankyou. . . . .
[04:48] <Ziroday> richard_: have fun
[04:49] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[04:49] <DasEi> katie_:nero for shure does the job, but k3b - I'm not 100% shure, but never had that (but running no blacklabel either)
[04:50] <katie_> DasEi: where do i get nero again?
[04:51] <katie_> is nero free?
[04:51] <Ziroday> katie_: are you trying to burn audio files to a cd?

[04:51] <DasEi> Ziroday: yes, katie mp3>disk
[04:52] <Flannel> !html| lessthanx
[04:52] <Ziroday> katie_: you need to use a program called brasero. You can find it in the main menu under Applications > Sound and Video > Brasero Disc Burner
[04:52] <DasEi> k3b doesn't burn mp3 ?, Ziroday ?
[04:52] <Ziroday> DasEi: yes

[04:53] <kwlii> I just followed the installation instructions at http://www.pcreview.co.uk/articles/Windows/Run_Linux_in_Windows/ however I get an unrecoverable processor error when trying to install ubuntu, I then uninstalled everything and tried reinstalling, I get the same thing.  Is it a bad iso file?
[04:54] <case^> kwlii: have you checked it?
[04:54] <Ziroday> case^: then you need to go to General Options >  Desktop Size and increase the amount under Horizontal Virtual Size

[04:54] <Strangelet>  When I close my Latitud D400's screen, a screensaver is supposed to appear. Instead, garbled, colorful static replaces it. My mouse cursor still looks normal. This can be fixed quickly by switching to a virtual console and back. How may I fix this problem?

[05:06] <tjay> I'm having a VERY hard time getting my Webcam to work in "Cheese". I have a Sony Vaio laptop, Ubuntu 8.04
[05:06] <kwlii> Anyone here help with ubuntu installation issue.  I get a red X window saying unrecoverable processor error virtual machine will reset now
[05:06] <sca> ziroday?
[05:07] <Ziroday> SaintYossarian: since your drivers for that card aren't yet in the hardy repos you might want to use envy
[05:07] <Ziroday> SaintYossarian: but just double checking something
[05:07] <tjay> Anyone know what a good "Chat" program (that works on the Yahoo Network) is for Ubuntu? that also supports Webcams?
[05:08] <zenwryly`> Is it bad practice to make directories with group root writable by the group?  I put my user account in the root group/
[05:08] <macvr> DasEi> oops.. not in cd... i'v downloaded the files
[05:08] <mn> tjay: pidgin probably does
[05:08] <SaintYossarian> Ziroday:: Thank you, I'll wait patiently :)
[05:08] <mn> !pidgin
[05:08] <Flannel> zenwryly: Don't put yourself in the root group.
[05:08] <summo> surabaya
[05:08] <Flannel> zenwryly: use sudo instead.
[05:09] <Ziroday> SaintYossarian: yes you need to use envyng to install the drivers. However first you need to remove the drivers you installed from ati
[05:09] <zenwryly> Flannel: why?
[05:09] <zenwryly> Flannel: I mean I use sudo for many things
[05:09] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[05:09] <zenwryly> Flannel: but I'd like to understand why being in the root group is bad?
[05:09] <Ziroday> SaintYossarian: you can get envyng by doing sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk && envyng -g
[05:09] <macvr> ???
[05:09] <Flannel> zenwryly: Because giving yourself root group access is potentially as bad as running as root half the time.
[05:10] <DasEi> macvr: isee, vlc should do it,  seee why a test (without burning) is har..don't now... totem has a codec loader, but vlc usually does it, another option is mplayer with ubuntu-restricted-extras, but I#m not shure
[05:10] <SaintYossarian> Ziroday: Thank you so much.  I will come crying back later if I fail.  Thanks!
[05:10] <Ziroday> SaintYossarian: good luck
[05:10] <creeed> !nvidia
[05:10] <macvr> K...i'll test it out in another system...
[05:10] <SaintYossarian> Ziroday: Thank you.  Seriously.  I really appreciate it.
[05:10] <zenwryly> Flannel: hmm, yeah I guess I can see that.  Thanks!  :)

[05:11] <tjay> Pidgin doesn't support Webcams . . . any other ideas?
[05:11] <DasEi> !nvidia
[05:11] <Flannel> zenwryly: That's the root users group (just like you have a group for your own user)
[05:11] <Strangelet>  When I close my Latitud D400's screen, a screensaver is supposed to appear. Instead, garbled, colorful static replaces it. My mouse cursor still looks normal. This can be fixed quickly by switching to a virtual console and back. How may I fix this problem?

[05:29] <error404notfound> i have messed my compiz config, now when i login, soon after its complete, all windows got white, some get gray and white strips, the panels become black, in short everything is a mess, how to i delete these settings? i have tried changing .compiz name, but still happens..
[05:29] <Jordan_U> brolly81: That isn't an option in System -> Preferences -> Resolution ?
[05:30] <DasEi> Pie-rate: laptop ? often probs round hibernation and so on, ever watched boot-up for acpi - messages ?

[05:31] <error404notfound> anyone?
[05:31] <tjay> My webcam is not listed in 'lspci' . . . how do I fix this???  I'm using a FRESH install of 8.04
[05:31] <Jordan_U> brolly81: What happens when you try? Nothing?
[05:31] <Pie-rate> DasEi: when i suspend, the dvd drive makes a single clicking noise, the screen goes black but doesn't say "no input," and it just sits there, doesn't matter what keys or buttons i press.
[05:31] <IMaverick> DasEi, I installed apache2 but firefox shows "The requested URL could not be retrieved" when i browse http://localhost what has gone wrong..?
[05:32] <HappyHater> error404notfound, disable the effects and see if that helps system > prefs > appearance
[05:32] <Pie-rate> DasEi: could it be a video driver problem? i'm using the proprietary nvidia drivers, and i heard a long time in the past that they caused issues with suspend/resume
[05:33] <tjay> My webcam is not listed in 'lspci' . . . how do I fix this???  I'm using a FRESH install of 8.04
[05:33] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[05:33] <brolly81> jordan_u nothing happens it stays the same and then a screen pops up and ask to keep current settings or use previous. i obviously ask to keep current 1280*468 as i curse at nasty words that would make the devil blush and nothing happens.
[05:33] <danbh_intrepid> tjay: is your webcam a pci card?
[05:34] <brolly81> 1280*768
[05:34] <tjay> dangh_intrepid: No, it's an internal on my Sony Vaio Laptop. The camera model is, VGP-VCC6
[05:35] <DasEi> Pie-rate:my ability for fortune-telling is less good, but I can give you advice where to look, see also /var/log > syslog,xorg.0.log
[05:35] <danbh_intrepid> tjay: ah, then you are probably correct that it connects via pci
[05:36] <octoberdan> I have two ubuntu machines, pc1 and pc2, they both have onboard nics (eth0, in both cases). In addition, pc2 has a wireless nic (eth1) connected to the internet. I have a cat5 ethernet cable. Without an intermediary device (hub, switch, router, etc.), is it possible to shared pc2s internet connection with pc1?
[05:36] <IMaverick> I installed apache2 but firefox shows "The requested URL could not be retrieved" when i browse http://localhost what has gone wrong..?

[05:40] <brolly81> samsung lcd 42 in, pimp screen
[05:40] <octoberdan> Or, more importantly, how?
[05:40] <brolly81> no i a serious note 42 in lcd
[05:40] <hyphenated> octoberdan: if your net connection is via wireless, and you have a crossover cat5 cable..maybe
[05:41] <brolly81> !fix my shat
[05:41] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[05:41] <octoberdan> hyphenated: Maybe?
[05:41] <mr_bmh> Hello all
[05:41] <mtcage> how straight forward is the process of moving a win xp partition to the left(also being the xp partition itself is the second 3rd partition(left to the swap partition))? ive tried this before but windows did not boot afterwards
[05:42] <HappyHater> brolly81, run gksu displayconfig-gtk and see if you can choose your monitor, or one similar
[05:42] <mtcage> right to the swap partition i mean sorry
[05:42] <hyphenated> octoberdan: yup. it'd be easier with a router tho
[05:42] <mr_bmh> I would like to ask how I can mount my disk with the id f W95 ext'd (LBA)?
[05:42] <octoberdan> hyphenated: Definitely, but why only "maybe"?
[05:42] <octoberdan> hyphenated: In a philosophical sense?
[05:43]  * octoberdan expects the response to be "maybe"
[05:43] <octoberdan> ;-)
[05:43] <_2> crossover cat 5  == linux router...
[05:43] <DasEi> mr_bmh:partiton ? drive? output from fdisk - l  ?
[05:44] <octoberdan> Makes sense
[05:45] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[05:45] <octoberdan> More useful would be for me to get xorg working...
[05:45] <hyphenated> octoberdan: haha well, if the wireless actually works, and the crossover cable is long enough, and we get all the right IP assignments, and run a special command for forwarding IP..
[05:45] <DasEi> !ot> greenmanwitch
[05:46] <octoberdan> hyphenated: I'd have to setup static routes, right?
[05:46] <hyphenated> octoberdan: of course
[05:47] <physically_fit> greenmanwitch says hello every 4 minutes
[05:47] <octoberdan> Seems fairly straightforward, but in the end it never is...
[05:47] <hyphenated> octoberdan: or run a dhcp server on pc2.. but that's a bit of a waste :-)
[05:47] <Gun_Smoke> octoberdan, do you have a crossover?
[05:47] <octoberdan> and this is asuming I have crossover cable. I /hate/ making my own cable. It takes me an absurd amount of time just for one rj45
[05:48] <Flannel> physically_fit: thanks for the headsup, I didn't notice.
[05:48] <v4vijayakumar> Hi, how to set gnome as my default GUI in ubuntu?
[05:48] <octoberdan> I'm going to go check the closet
[05:48] <Gun_Smoke> octoberdan, If you have a crossover this will take a few seconds at best using firestarter.
[05:48] <DasEi> mr_bmh:?
[05:48] <hyphenated> octoberdan: ya i hate crimping cables too.
[05:49] <greenmanwitch> Hello
[05:49] <Romster> octoberdan, newer switches and lan cards auto detect if they need to crossover for you.
[05:50] <Romster> it's not likely you need to even worry if it's a cross over cable or not these days.
[05:50] <Romster> unless you got accent hardware.
[05:50] <DasEi> Romster: lan cards with auto sensing ? switches, for shure
[05:50] <Romster> 'sure'
[05:51] <Romster> actually good point on the lan cards bit.
[05:51] <Romster> might just be the switches.
[05:51] <Romster> i'll need to double check that.
[05:51] <DasEi> they are
[05:51] <DasEi> sure ? lol
[05:51] <brolly81> happyhater i tried moving the screen to the right on my option from the samsung menu, how do i move my desktop towards the right from ubuntu or anyone if they know?
[05:51] <Romster> 'shure' is a microphone company
[05:52] <hyphenated> personally, I'd rather just buy a router and forget about making a messy little network of just 2 PCs :-)
[05:52] <DasEi> octoberdan :but what Romster said, just get a switch, its about 10 Euro, and never care 'bout patch/cross again
[05:52] <_2> brolly81 xrandr   but i don't know the specifics
[05:53] <jdnewmil> kernel problems with gutsy on an Athlon system (ASUS A7S333)... 2.6.22-14-generic freezes immediately after grub shows "(boot)"... I have to manually select 2.6.20-16-generic to get my system to do anything... have tried "noapic nolapic" boot options but seem to be unable to follow the current kernel ... can anyone suggest how to debug this?
[05:53] <pen> anyone know why I type man write it doesn't come out manual for write function for c language?
[05:53] <DasEi> Romster. for shure, sure
[05:53] <Gun_Smoke> hyphenated, It takes like 2 minutes to do with firestarter.
[05:53] <jdnewmil> pen : you need to specify the documentation section
[05:53] <_2> pen #C++
[05:53] <Flannel> pen: install manpages-dev
[05:53] <Romster> DasEi, yeah less headaches that way with less to worry about.
[05:53] <pen> Flannel, ok
[05:54] <octoberdan> Okay, I'm back
[05:55] <pen> Flannel, thx
[05:55] <Gun_Smoke> octoberdan, have one?
[05:55] <octoberdan> Romster: I remember working with some CISCO routers that had that feature back in highschool

[05:57] <Flannel> IMaverick: No idea.  That should work.  Verify apache is running (ps aux | grep apache) you should see more than just your grep (we don't need to see it pasted or anything)
[05:57] <mr_bmh> okie thanks
[05:58] <brolly81> anyone know how to move the desktop to the right or left, up, down. so my ubuntu 8.04lts can fit on my screen
[05:58] <Bilange> hmm, the "don't use enter as punctuation" part of the sentence is quite confusing, to tell the truth
[05:58] <DasEi> mr_bmh:open a terminal ...
[05:58] <Pici> DasEi: The bots do that, no need to send !paste > to the users.
[05:58] <Romster> octoberdan, yeah i got sick of cross over cables. i'm glad they added that feature.
[05:59] <Gun_Smoke> octoberdan, http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php
[05:59] <hyphenated> octoberdan: it must be an internet connection? you can't just copy between them with a USB disk or something?
[05:59] <octoberdan> I hope that doesn't rely on images... I only have links2 here
[05:59] <mr_bmh> I got this msg

[05:59] <_2> mr_bmh looks like it's not formated
[05:59] <DasEi> mr_bmh:don' want to automount ? just the cmd ?
[05:59] <brolly81> anyone know how to move the desktop to the right or left, up, down. so my ubuntu 8.04lts can fit on my screen for god sakes
[06:00] <octoberdan> hyphenated: I want to give pc1 connection to the internet, but from this room I can only get access via wireless. Only pc2 has a wireless card
[06:00] <Romster> Bilange, it's short sentances
[06:00] <hyphenated> octoberdan: better get crimping then :-)
[06:00] <Romster> like
[06:00] <Romster> this
[06:00] <mr_bmh> @ DasEi: What do you mean for automount?
[06:00] <octoberdan> brolly81: That's monitor territory. There should be buttons on your monitor for that
[06:00] <Romster> which is very anoying.
[06:00] <_2> mr_bmh oh i bet your post got cut off.   try sda5 in sted of sda4
[06:00] <octoberdan> brolly81: Or an "auto-adjust" option
[06:01] <mr_bmh> I have try this command
[06:01] <mr_bmh> root@bmh-laptop:/home/bmh# sudo mount -o umask=0 /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP
[06:01] <mr_bmh> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[06:01] <riegersn> Will the minimal ubuntu iso let me select packages for initial install?
[06:01] <sako> what package do i need so i can use the VNC option in TS Client??
[06:01] <octoberdan> hyphenated: Well, if the NIC auto corrects...
[06:01] <_2> mr_bmh   try sda5 in sted of sda4
[06:01] <DasEi> mr_bmh:you can either mount it manually or have it ready after each startup, as your linux system
[06:01] <Bilange> Romster: yeah, i have understood that, but i thought this might be confusing for people causing the bot to react
[06:01] <mr_bmh> I would like to mount it for manual
[06:01] <brolly81> octoberdan i did that but it only goes so far, i need to move it a little bit more.
[06:01] <hyphenated> octoberdan: yeah, try your luck on that too

[06:01] <MiladKhajavi> Help. How can I merge multiple rar file into onfile?
[06:02] <Romster> don't know i saw it and thought it was a good explanation. i'm a moderator in winehq i may borrow that sentance :)
[06:02] <DasEi> mr_bmh:k, first create dir : sudo mkdir /mnt/win95
[06:02] <Romster> better not get too off topic.
[06:02] <mr_bmh> I had created the folder /media/WinXP
[06:03] <Romster> directory why must everyone say folder.
[06:03] <mr_bmh> directory, sorry Sir
[06:03] <Bilange> Romster: i thought this meant "beware to not press enter when you intended to use the other keys around Enter!"
[06:03] <Romster> mr_bmh, what file system type is /dev/sda4 ?
[06:03] <riegersn> Will the minimal ubuntu iso let me select packages for initial install?
[06:03] <jimmygoon> I have /dev/sdb1 /media/disk listed in my /etc/fstab but it somehow isn't mounted.... and it won't mount until I dblclick in gnome
[06:03] <DasEi> mr_bmh:k, then : sudo mount -t vfat  /dev/sda4  /media/Winxp   (!who)
[06:03] <mr_bmh> f W95 ext'd (LBA)
[06:03] <MiladKhajavi> Help. How can I merge multiple rar file into onfile?
[06:04] <mr_bmh> The vfat could not use
[06:04] <_2> Romster same reason they say "file" in place of inode
[06:04] <octoberdan> There is one alternative... get video working on this laptop so I can use X
[06:04] <mr_bmh> I had try many time with the vfat
[06:04] <Romster> _2, yeah true.
[06:04] <mtcage> hi there, does anyone know of any great guides for creating a home backup server?

[06:04] <riegersn> MiladKhajavi, you could always unrar then rar back up ;)
[06:04] <DasEi> mr_bmh:xp is ntfs ...
[06:04] <Pici> !rar | mtcage
[06:04] <FAJALOU> hi how can i export a gtk theme?
[06:04] <Pici> mtcage: sorry, wrong person
[06:04] <Pici> !rar > MiladKhajavi
[06:04] <Romster> mr_bmh, use ntfs-3g
[06:04] <Pici> FAJALOU: Export?
[06:05] <octoberdan> It may be a hardware issue, I'm not sure. I broke the monitor so I had to plug it into an external lcd. However, when I startx, everything gets distorted and disorientated
[06:05] <FAJALOU> Pici: i want to take my current theme and put it on another computer
[06:05] <Gun_Smoke> MiladKhajavi, unrar e filename.rar
[06:05] <mtcage> yes that is infact a tool to compress files, but i mean a guide for general set up of a home backup server
[06:05] <octoberdan> *disortianted...
[06:05] <octoberdan> disorianted...
[06:05] <octoberdan> blah!
[06:05] <mr_bmh> @Romster: This partition had invisible by manuafacture
[06:05] <MiladKhajavi> Gun_Smoke: my issue is that I have multiple rar file (part1.rarm part2m ... )
[06:05] <Pici> FAJALOU: Look in /usr/share/themes/   or ~/.themes/
[06:06] <mr_bmh> In this partition it save my recovery Window XP
[06:06] <DasEi> mr_bmh:k, then : sudo mount -t ntfs  /dev/sda4  /media/Winxp   (!who)
[06:06] <Gun_Smoke> MiladKhajavi, that's what the e does..
[06:06] <riegersn> Will the minimal ubuntu iso let me select packages for initial install? anyone?
[06:06] <octoberdan> I've purged xserver-xorg and reinstalled, but still the same issue when I try to start x. It happens right away, even before the window manager loads, when it's just a backdrop and an x
[06:06] <Pici> riegersn: No.
[06:06] <mr_bmh> Okie please wait
[06:06] <brolly81> octoberdan your the man, i had to hit autoadjust. It did not allow me to do it manually. thanks bro
[06:06] <mr_bmh> try again
[06:06] <FAJALOU> Pici:  thanks did it while you were typing :P  thats what i thought.
[06:06] <Romster> rar x foo.rar
[06:06] <octoberdan> brolly81: No problem :-)
[06:06] <Romster> x to rextract.
[06:06] <Romster> extract keeping directory structure.
[06:06] <DasEi> !who > mr_bmh
[06:06] <riegersn> Pici, is there a way to do this?
[06:06] <octoberdan> brolly81: Auto adjust is wonderful
[06:07] <mr_bmh> root@bmh-laptop:/home/bmh# sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP
[06:07] <mr_bmh> mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntf'
[06:07] <Pici> riegersn: No, none of the installs (except the Server install, and thats just some of the tasksel packages) let you pick which packages you want to install during install.
[06:07] <Flannel> Pici: alternate CD with expert mode will.
[06:07] <_2> mr_bmh i told you already it's probably not sda4   try sda5
[06:07] <danbh_intrepid> !xconfig > octoberdan       here is the reconfig command
[06:07] <mr_bmh> This partition is invisible by manuafacture, there stored my WinXP recovery
[06:07] <DasEi> mr_bmh:k, then : sudo mount -t ntfs  /dev/sda4  /media/Winxp  , ntfs, not ntf ?
[06:07] <Pici> Flannel: Minimal though?
[06:08] <danbh_intrepid> !xconfig > octoberdan
[06:08] <Romster> mr_bmh, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP
[06:08] <Flannel> Pici: minimal and alternate are the same installer, so sure.
[06:08] <mr_bmh> okie
[06:08] <Romster> mr_bmh,  it is indeed a NTFS FS
[06:08] <Pici> riegersn: I stand corrected, see Flannel's responses.
[06:08] <Romster> if you don't have ntfs-3g installed install it first.
[06:08] <_2> Romster sda5 not sda4  i'm guessing
[06:08] <mr_bmh> root@bmh-laptop:/home/bmh# sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP
[06:08] <mr_bmh> NTFS signature is missing.
[06:08] <mr_bmh> Failed to mount '/dev/sda4': Invalid argument
[06:08] <mr_bmh> The device '/dev/sda4' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
[06:08] <mr_bmh> Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
[06:08] <FloodBot3> mr_bmh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:08] <mr_bmh> partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
[06:08] <Flannel> mr_bmh: Please stop pasting.  You've been told before.
[06:08] <Macrosoft> Romster: he could just use mount -t ntfs-3g
[06:09] <Romster> mr_bmh, for goodness sake use a  pastebin for more than 2 lines
[06:09] <DasEi> Romster: man mount ???,   mr_bmh
[06:09] <riegersn> Flannel, Pici, thanks
[06:09] <gluonman> I tried to ask this question in #vbox, but almost no one ever talks on that channel (at least when I'm there). So I'll ask again here: I install virtualbox and I'm having trouble install Windows XP on my .vdi. The installation will begin, but halfway through Vbox will restart the installation from a prior point. It cannot finish installing, it always restarts to the same point every time. What's wrong?
[06:09] <mr_bmh> Sir I had read the man mount also
[06:09] <_2>                   sda5
[06:09] <mr_bmh> I did not understand why this partition could not mount
[06:09] <Flannel> riegersn: You just needto activate expert mode.  Which I think on the modern ones means hand typing "expert" as an option (but I don't know for sure)
[06:10] <CKey> guys do you know any web site that is something like a begginer's guide to ubuntu ?
[06:10] <Flannel> CKey: https://help.ubuntu.com/
[06:10] <_2>      mr_bmb is attempting to mount the extended partition not a logical drive within the partition
[06:10] <DasEi> mr_bmh:run gparted to check correct-fs-type
[06:10] <octoberdan> I have a Samsung SyncMaster730B (LCD monitor) hooked up to my Dell Inspiron 8200. I've tried reconfiguring xorg, but without luck. The display is still all crazy. I have no way of confirming that the video would work on another monitor or on the laptop itself.
[06:10] <Romster> Macrosoft, DasEi ah true ntfs-3g does have a helper script /usr/bin/ntfs-3g.probe
[06:10] <ryan_> How can you tell if you have a CD burner?
[06:10] <Macrosoft> mr_bmh: use sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/<wherever>
[06:11] <Romster> it would be mount -t ntfs-3g ...
[06:11] <octoberdan> dmesg shows no errors.  xstart shows that there is a problem with my touchpad, which I've known about.
[06:11] <DasEi> ryan_:lspci & hwinfo
[06:11] <mr_bmh> @Macrosoft:  I had done as you told but got the same result like ntfs
[06:11] <mr_bmh> hmmmmm
[06:11] <octoberdan> danbh_intrepid: Thank you, but the command didn't help
[06:11] <riegersn> Flannel, thanks I have the minimal iso, i'll check it out ;)
[06:11] <DasEi> mr_bmh:run gparted to check correct-fs-type
[06:11] <_2> mr_bmh you can NOT mount a partition,  you can only mount file systems     <mr_bmh> /dev/sda4            3456       14593    89465985    f  W95 Ext'd  <<<< that is never going to mount.
[06:11] <goldmetal> octoberdan, did the ubottu scold you?
[06:12] <goldmetal> !xyz
[06:12] <bullgard4> 'man rpcinfo' writes: "rpcinfo makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds." Isn't this wrong to say 'an remote procedure call call'?
[06:12] <goldmetal> !xyz
[06:12] <octoberdan> goldmetal: What did I do wrong?
[06:12] <_2> ryan_  lshw -C cdrom
[06:12] <gluonman> Can anyone help me understand why my installation of Windows XP on my VIrtualBox (host == Ubuntu 8.04) can never seem to finish? Without fail the installation will restart at the same spot.
[06:12] <goldmetal> octoberdan, never mind
[06:12] <DasEi> _2:  thats not right
[06:12] <octoberdan> gluonman: Which spot?
[06:12] <Flannel> bullgard4: yes, those should be "a"  But, that's not necessarily because the R stands for "remote"
[06:13] <_2> ryan_ not sure about the class "cdrom"  may be wrong.
[06:13] <octoberdan> so reconfiguring didn't work, what's the next step?
[06:13] <_2> DasEi which ?
[06:13] <chalcedony> does anyone know how to make an icon you created, appear in the Applications submenu, like where the xchat and pigeon icons are?
[06:13] <gluonman> octoberdan, after the Windows Installing section is complete. I will state my language/region, my name and organization, my time zone, and then an install bar will complete, and then it restarts.
[06:13] <Flannel> bullgard4: oh, and yes, that's redundant on call as well
[06:13] <octoberdan> How would I confirm there isn't a problem with my video card? My video card was working with X as of right before I killed the monitor. I have no idea if it was also damaged, but I doubt it.
[06:13] <DasEi> _2: u can mount /dev/sda4
[06:14] <ryan_> _2 yeah its wrong
[06:14] <bullgard4> Flannel: Thank you for commenting.
[06:14] <_2> DasEi an extended partition ?
[06:14] <octoberdan> gluonman: May be it finished?
[06:14] <_2> ryan_   lshw | less      and scroll down...
[06:14] <gluonman> octoberdan, nope.
[06:14] <DasEi> _2: why not ? is same like fstab
[06:14] <octoberdan> gluonman: At that point I believe stuff has been installed, enough to be bootable
[06:14] <gluonman> octoberdan, if I start the .vdi, it takes me to the installation.
[06:15] <_2> DasEi because extended partitions don't have file systems   you don't format them.
[06:15] <gluonman> octoberdan, I'll try again, but so far I haven't gotten past the installation.
[06:15] <octoberdan> gluonman: I'm not sure how it works, I'm only going off what I know about Windows... sorry.
[06:15] <DasEi> mr_bmh:what is gparted showing about sda4 ?
[06:15] <george1> a
[06:15] <_2> DasEi you make logical drives within the extended partition and format them....
[06:15] <dfgas> k i got someone here that has a 800mhz computer with 768megs of ram, they just look at web pages and read email, im, and maybe burn a cd or 2. do i need logging services and schedule services
[06:15] <gluonman> octoberdan, alright.

[06:16] <ryan_> oops

[06:17] <ryan_> that is the output.
[06:17] <octoberdan> What should I do next in debugging X, any suggestions? I've tried reconfiguring xserver. Dell Inspiron 8200 with an external LCD screen.
[06:17] <subhan> how to install py2exe in linux
[06:17] <jimmygoon> to exe? that doesn't make much sense?
[06:17] <subhan> how to install py2exe in ubuntu
[06:17] <octoberdan> My access to the web is limited
[06:17] <ryan_> what does that output mean.  Is there a burner
[06:17] <DasEi> _2: so do I, still gotta learn, but mr_bmh left in the middle the second time, now
[06:17] <_2> ryan_  i'd assume no write capability there.
[06:17] <Romster> subhan, that would make more sense if you ran it in wine. but seems pointless unless your exporting it for windows users.
[06:18] <mr_bmh> 2DasEI
[06:18] <mr_bmh> I am here
[06:18] <mr_bmh> Do you have any instruction for me
[06:18] <ryan_> _2 that's what I thought
[06:18] <IntoxicKat> =-O
[06:18] <_2> DasEi have him try sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
[06:18] <DasEi> mr_bmh:right, looked under bm... so .. gparted
[06:19] <DasEi> _2:sda4
[06:19] <_2> DasEi no  sda5
[06:19] <_2> DasEi have him pastebin the output of   cat /proc/partitions
[06:19] <DasEi>  /dev/sda4            3456       14593    89465985    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA),  _2
[06:20] <_2> ext'd   no file system there mate.
[06:20] <DasEi> _2:and i can mount all my partis, manually and via fstab (lots of them)
[06:21] <DasEi> mr_bmh:what shows gparte about sda4 ?
[06:21] <DasEi> *gparted
[06:21] <_2> DasEi i give up.   you fellows beet your head against the wall all you want.    just leave me out of it.
[06:21] <mr_bmh> please wait
[06:21] <mr_bmh> I install the gparted first
[06:22] <octoberdan> Gah! No!!! Firestarter is X based :-(
[06:22] <subhan> i wanted to create some exe files
[06:22] <R_chan> hy
[06:22] <subhan> how to use py2exe
[06:22] <subhan> witout using wine
[06:22] <DasEi> octoberdan: looking for a cmd-firewall ?
[06:22] <subhan> menaing how to install py2exe
[06:23] <_2> i will state one more time, for the record, no one ever mounts a partition.   only file systems can be mounted.
[06:23] <octoberdan> DasEi: Looking to share internet connection with another computer by way of cat5, people suggested bringing firestarter
[06:23] <subhan> py2exe is a python module for creating exe file
[06:23] <Pici> subhan: I don't believe that there is a py2exe for linux at all.
[06:24] <Pici> subhan: Seeing as how Linux doesnt use exe files.
[06:24] <octoberdan> DasEi: What I'm definitely looking for is a way to get X working
[06:24] <Pici> subhan: see also http://wiki.python.org/moin/Py2Exe
[06:24] <octoberdan> Pici: Why wouldn't there be?
[06:24] <_2> octoberdan it would be cross platform for one thing
[06:25] <jimmygoon_> subhan, linux doesn't run on exe's
[06:25] <Floid> octoberdan: When all else fails, use the VESA driver?
[06:25] <_2> i know that "can" be done,   but why.
[06:25] <octoberdan> _2: No, it would just mean that a program is outputing an exe file
[06:25] <octoberdan> Oh, I misread what he wrote I think
[06:25] <goldmetal> which is a good sftp client? nice w/ gui interface?
[06:25] <usser> goldmetal, gftp
[06:25] <_2> octoberdan it's ok.  happens a lot in here.
[06:26] <octoberdan> Wait, no, I didn't, I stick by my statements
[06:26] <goldmetal> thx usser
[06:26] <usser> goldmetal, also check out sshfs
[06:26] <octoberdan> _2: Why? He's developing for a win32 system?
[06:26] <octoberdan> I've needed to
[06:26] <goldmetal> usser, i am familiar with sshfs thx
[06:26] <mr_bmh> Thanks all, it is very strange that in gparted show my sda4 is sda1
[06:26] <octoberdan> although that was an app creating executables from perl scripts...
[06:26] <mr_bmh> I have done it
[06:26] <mr_bmh> thanks alot
[06:26] <danbh_intrepid> octoberdan: if you look at the link, it just wont work.  The solution is to buy a copy of windows
[06:26] <_2> octoberdan and developing for windows withing linux is not cross platform ???
[06:27] <octoberdan> danbh_intrepid: It would take me quite some time switching between terminals typing it into links2...
[06:27] <DasEi> mr_bmh:np
[06:27] <octoberdan> _2: It's working accross platforms. Big difference.
[06:28] <octoberdan> Well, I guess...
[06:28] <octoberdan> hmm
[06:28] <DasEi> octoberdan:did yourx-server ever ran ?
[06:28] <octoberdan> It would require that his code be closs platform. The exe would not be.
[06:28] <octoberdan> DasEi: Nope. Someone suggested I use different drivers
[06:29] <octoberdan> Floid: How would I go about that?
[06:29] <DasEi> octoberdan:which graphic-card ?
[06:29] <DarkMage2303> O.o
[06:29] <Floid> octoberdan: /etc/x11/xorg.conf , change the device to 'vesa'.
[06:30] <octoberdan> DasEi: The adapter the Dell Inspiron 82000 has
[06:30] <octoberdan> *8200
[06:30] <DarkMage2303> afk 360 days
[06:31] <DasEi> octoberdan:so onboard, see, I'd suggest back up old xorg, install displayconfig-gtk, choose vesa to ge t started
[06:32] <cwee> aiiiiiiiii
[06:32] <robelliott2125> Morning all!  Does anyone know how to backup the settings from Konversation???
[06:32] <octoberdan> DasEi: -gtk?
[06:32] <octoberdan> DasEi: I have no X
[06:33] <DasEi> octoberdan:you can boot to terminal ...
[06:33] <ruth> does anyone know how to clome fron ome disc to another i would appreciate some hlelp on this subject
[06:33] <usser> robelliott2125, backup ~/.Konversation or ~/.konversation
[06:33] <usser> ruth, harddrives or cds/dvds?
[06:33] <octoberdan> DasEi: But I need X to run that program
[06:33] <DasEi> ruth : see !cloning and man dd
[06:34] <robelliott2125> usser, can I not backup the folder for it?
[06:34] <zonteens> i'm can't  to use wire shark capture my interface
[06:34] <usser> robelliott2125, ~/.konversation is the the folder
[06:34] <talas> should i use synaptic to install new packages?  what about the "Add/Remove Applications" option?  sorry, brand new to ubuntu here
[06:34] <robelliott2125> Oh!  lol
[06:34] <DasEi> octoberdan:nope, it starts up next time you restart
[06:34] <octoberdan> Where would I shove the Driver  "vesa" in my config?
[06:34] <robelliott2125> talas, either or dude.  But most recommend either terminal or Synaptic
[06:34] <jdnewmil> anyone have recommendations what to do if the default gutsy kernel won't boot? I am tired of manually selecting an old kernel, but am leery of upgrading to hardy until things are working reasonably well...
[06:35] <talas> ok, thanks
[06:35] <talas> and synaptic will not resolve dependencies for me, it seems
[06:35] <_2> talas synaptic.
[06:35] <octoberdan> DasEi: It's gtk based, gtk needs xserver running.
[06:35] <octoberdan> DasEi: I just tried to make sure
[06:36] <DasEi> jdnewmil:I think hardy is stable...
[06:36] <zonteens> i have problem
[06:36] <DasEi> octoberdanyou tried already ?
[06:36] <ruth> thank
[06:36] <DasEi> octoberdan: you tried already ?
[06:36] <octoberdan> DasEi: displayconfig-gtk? Yes, it needs X running
[06:36] <debCarlos> jdnewmil: Hardy is pretty cool, i use/like it :)
[06:37] <bullgard4> man rpcinfo writes: "SEE ALSO _RPC Programming Guide_." Where can I find it? 'apropos RPC Programming Guide' does not list it.
[06:37] <zonteens> who ? had knowledge aboute "wireshark"
[06:37] <ruth> hard drive to another hard drive
[06:37] <octoberdan> DasEi: Do you know if there is an ncurses based alternative or something?
[06:37] <debCarlos> Oh man, this filters package is pretty cool :P
[06:38] <DasEi> octoberdan: edit xorg.conf (backup before) manually , then...
[06:38] <octoberdan> VESA drivers work!
[06:39] <octoberdan> DasEi: Just tried that, worked :-)
[06:39] <_2> ruth if size is == then you can use dd    if not you need something that can handle size differances without breaking filesystems.
[06:39] <octoberdan> Thank you all for the support!
[06:40] <octoberdan> Floid: And for suggesting using vese  :-)
[06:40] <debCarlos> Just discoverred it on Planet Ubuntu, he converrrrts any english text t' some english varrrriaton, like pirate-talk and gerrrrrman-talk, prrrrretty funny :)
[06:40] <DasEi>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg  , (backup before!) also a possibility
[06:41] <DasEi> octoberdan: ncurse, wrong man, sry
[06:41] <_2> ruth what i normally do is is boot a live cd and mount both "disks"  /mnt1 and /mnt2    use tar and copy what is on wone to the other.
[06:41] <_2> wone ?  !
[06:42] <Malformation> #ubuntu+1
[06:42]  * _2 counts   wone 2wo thr33 ....
[06:42] <n838901> hello
[06:42] <debCarlos> lol
[06:43] <n838901> how do i configure sftp to jail users to their home directories when they connect?
[06:44] <ruth> i have an acronis disc but it works om microsoft but on ubuntu system
[06:46] <octoberdan> DasEi: Does the configuration process ask which driver you want to use?
[06:47] <saypher> ·#ubuntu-es
[06:47] <visof> hi
[06:47] <DasEi> octoberdan: yes and about framebuffers and so on, but I tell you again to backup an anyhow working xorg.conf, also you could...
[06:47] <saypher> ·#ubuntu-es
[06:47] <visof> i want to install additional fonts , what is the name of the package ?
[06:47] <saypher> #ubuntu-es
[06:47] <DasEi> octoberdan: use a live cd to copy an xorg to see what it uses
[06:48] <_2> !fonts > visof
[06:48] <Gun_Smoke> n838901, isn't sftp just a client?  And wouldn't the jail config need to be done on the server?
[06:49] <n838901> gunsmoke: sorry for the confusion. sftp-server is what i am referring too
[06:50] <n838901> sftp-server puts them in the '/' of the system rather than their home directory
[06:50] <Gun_Smoke> well looking briefly over the man page,
[06:51] <_2> scponly - Restricts the commands available to scp- and sftp-users
[06:51] <mecha> anyone know how i can setup the synergy client on my ubuntu 8.? box to wake from mouse input from my synergy host?
[06:51] <Flannel> n838901: What on earth is sftp-server?
[06:51] <Flannel> n838901: Why not just use openssh-server?
[06:51] <_2> maybe he's refering to   vsftpd - The Very Secure FTP Daemon ?
[06:51] <Gun_Smoke> n838901, it seems that sftp does not call directly to sftp-server instead to sshd, so I'd look there..
[06:52] <n838901> Flannel: sftp-server is a subsystem of openssh
[06:52] <n838901> basically, i want to stop sftp logins from being placed into the '/' directory
[06:52] <Gun_Smoke> sftp-server is not
[06:52] <Gun_Smoke>      intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8)
[06:52] <n838901> they need to be logged into their home directory
[06:52] <jim_p> hi there!
[06:53] <Gun_Smoke> gerrr.. that isn't what I wanted..
[06:53] <n838901> i have checked all the man pages
[06:53] <mn_> join ##physics
[06:53] <Gun_Smoke> n838901, I use vsftp, and it's pretty straight forward.
[06:54] <n838901> i came from Slackware to Ubuntu Server, so be nice :P
[06:54] <mkartic_me> can someone tell me how i can find if a process is hung or its actually executing?
[06:54] <SuperQ> So if I install Ubuntu with the alternate installer, do my choices (partman mostly) to all the settings get saved anywhere?
[06:54] <n838901> i may need to look into vsftp
[06:54] <DasEi>  mkartic_me:might watch it with top
[06:55] <Gun_Smoke> n838901, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[06:55] <SuperQ> mkartic_me: you can use strace -pPIDNUM
[06:55] <SuperQ> mkartic_me: although, you may not be able to understand the output
[06:55] <DasEi> SuperQ:shure, gets a new partition table
[06:55] <DasEi> *sure
[06:56] <mkartic_me> superQ, thanks! am sure i can google for more details :)
[06:56] <mecha> !synergy
[06:56] <mecha> pft
[06:57] <n838901> Gun_Smoke: do I need to uninstall proftpd since i plan to use vsftp?
[06:57] <Gun_Smoke> n838901, no.
[06:57] <BeBoo> Hi everyone. I downloaded the nvidia drivers and found a tutorial on how to get tv working with the S-Video port and it works great except the video on the tv is in black and white. Can anyone assist?
[06:58] <_2> Gun_Smoke i think it will auto remove it tho
[06:59] <Gun_Smoke> I don't know when I installed.. It was to a fresh 8.04 server.. didn't have an issue.
[07:00] <jim_p> BeBoo: if you have set its out put to PAL, change it to NTSC and vice versa and you will get colors
[07:01] <Dabbu> I have a USB modem and it is well detected....how should i proceed to connect to ninternet.It is a Dial up
[07:01] <_2> yeah i don't think he'll have an issue with it Gun_Smoke, but i was testing with them all and iirc, installing proftpd or vsftpd removes other *ftpd's
[07:01] <BeBoo> jim_p: I an using NTSC-M, i also tried NTSC-J, both give the same result. I tried a few PAL options and my TV flickers but the image is still B&W
[07:01] <Gun_Smoke> Good :D
[07:02] <jim_p> Dabbu: if you are on gnome, double click the network icon on the tray anda window will pop up. Select ppp connection from there and i suppose you know the rest
[07:02] <cheburek> what was the settings manager in kubuntu?
[07:03] <Gun_Smoke> dunno.. ask them..
[07:03] <Gun_Smoke> kmaybe ksetting kmanager..
[07:03] <Dabbu>  jim_p: it is not showing there
[07:03] <jim_p> BeBoo: unfortunately i dont know in that detail, and the only person i can ask is now sleeping. sorry
[07:03] <_2> i asked eariler in "an other channel"  why using   su - username     asks for a password on accounts that have had   passwd -d username   ran on them.   anyone here have dias ?
[07:03] <dody> hay
[07:03] <brandonmpace> cheburek: try in the channel #kubuntu
[07:04] <_2> cheburek kcontrol
[07:04] <cheburek> it is silent there
[07:04] <cheburek> thanks
[07:04] <dody> ada yang ngertibahasa indonesia?
[07:04] <jim_p> Dabbu: does not show ppp connection?? what connections does it have?
[07:04] <Flannel> !id | dody
[07:04] <brandonmpace> cheburek: k had to check
[07:04] <BeBoo> jim_p: no problem. Thanks for trying. I'll see if anyone else has any ideas and i'll keep looking
[07:04] <Dabbu>   jim_p: its ppp
[07:04] <dody> caranya gimana?
[07:05] <jim_p> Dabbu: so you do have ppp! click on it and select Preferences from the button on the side
[07:05] <CorbinFox> i just installed 8.04, and it seems that i can only have one audio source at a time.  i have amarok running and youtube wont play audio, i have youtube going and amarok crashes/freezes.  whats up?
[07:06] <jim_p> CorbinFox: set all your audio outputs to alsa in gnome-sound-properties
[07:06]  * CorbinFox goes to do that
[07:06] <Floid> Corbin:  Welcome to the confusion of PulseAudio.
[07:06] <nxmehta> random question about partitions (for a default ubuntu install) - why is it that the swap partition is sitting inside of an extended partition?  can you make the swap partition one of the 4 primary partitions?  or does it have to be extended...
[07:06] <aji> HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 10.4. Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM
[07:07] <Dabbu> jim_p: leavce that..suppose i am connected using wvdial and my connection get desconnected every10-20 sec or more and it get reconnected again..what will be the reason
[07:07] <jim_p> Dabbu: i think that the user must me a member of a paricular group in order to activate dial up
[07:07] <Floid> Holy ___, he's from the future!
[07:07] <jetscreamer> nxmehta: primary is fine
[07:07] <Floid> And webcams still don't work in the future. o_o
[07:08] <n838901> Gun_Smoke: no dice..  still logs user into the '/' directory
[07:08] <nxmehta> jetscreamer: is there some reason that ubuntu sets it up to not be primary?  what's the motivation
[07:08] <Daft_Punk> hello room
[07:08] <_2> nobody eeh ?
[07:08] <Daft_Punk> nobody wat
[07:09] <aji> :)
[07:09] <CorbinFox> will i need to restart to get the sound running?
[07:09] <mecha> anyone help me with synergy please?
[07:09] <_2> Daft_Punk  repete;   i asked eariler in "an other channel"  why using   su - username     asks for a password on accounts that have had   passwd -d username   ran on them.   anyone here have dias ?
[07:09] <Gun_Smoke> n838901, have a look at /etc/vsftpd.conf
[07:09] <TiMiDo> CorbinFox, not erally
[07:09] <TiMiDo> *not really
[07:09] <n838901> i did
[07:09] <Floid> Corbin: Should just be the individual programs, a logout/login will make sure.
[07:09] <CorbinFox> because when i ran the little test button in the sound settings, it said that it was still being used by another application
[07:09] <TiMiDo> just restart you're X and that's it
[07:09] <Timberwolf5578> What can I use for Yahoo Messenger for Linux???
[07:09] <Daft_Punk> because SU is superuser (root) and needs password permission because you are not logged in AS root
[07:10] <TiMiDo> CorbinFox, just restart X and you're done
[07:10] <CorbinFox> timido: thanks :D will do in a bit
[07:10] <TiMiDo> log out. and logged in
[07:10] <Floid> Unless he does have something wedging the device open, of course. :)
[07:10] <jdnewmil> DasEi : I am not worried about whether Hardy is stable... every time I upgrade I have to spend hours cleaning up the mess, and one thing they always say is update all packages before a version upgrade.  I would not like to have to keep using my old kernel under Hardy, so I would like to figure out what the problem is before upgrading.
[07:10] <TiMiDo> CorbinFox, don't forget to do adduser User audio
[07:10] <Daft_Punk> question: what species of bear is best?
[07:10] <_2> Daft_Punk   su is "switch users"     su - username     .
[07:11] <TiMiDo> su - user name?
[07:11] <CorbinFox> timido: which is?
[07:11] <TiMiDo> i believed is sudo
[07:11] <Floid> jdnewmil: What is the issue?
[07:11] <aji> HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 10.4. Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM
[07:11] <sca> hi everybody
[07:11] <cheburek> ubuntuforums.org down?
[07:11] <sca> can someone help out
[07:11] <swimb> down for me too
[07:11] <Daft_Punk> _2, sorry i was thinking of suse
[07:11] <Pici> aji: Please clarify the version of Ubuntu you are using 10.4 does not exist.
[07:11] <TiMiDo> AJC_Z0, depends if you're webcam is. Compatible with linux
[07:12] <TiMiDo> aji du uname -r
[07:12] <sca> i can't hear multiple audio aplications just one
[07:12] <_2> Daft_Punk no problem.
[07:12] <Daft_Punk> sca, use pulseaudio drivers (dont always work on multiple apps)
[07:12] <aji> aji -r
[07:12] <jdnewmil> anyone have recommendations what to do if the default gutsy kernel won't boot? I am tired of manually selecting an old kernel, but am leery of upgrading to hardy until things are working reasonably well...
[07:13] <Pie-rate> does kubuntu-desktop install KDE 3.5 or 4?
[07:13] <Floid> Define "won't boot."
[07:13] <Gun_Smoke>     If set to YES, local users will be (by default) placed in a chroot() jail in their home directory after login. Warning: This option has security implications, especially if the users have upload permission, or shell access. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that these security implications are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all FTP daemons which offer to put local users in chroot() jails.
[07:13] <Gun_Smoke>     Default: NO
[07:13] <Floid> How far does it get?
[07:13] <_2> aji no.    uname -r        uname -a        uname --help ....
[07:13] <sca> no alsa?
[07:13] <Floid> And what are the chances that you're booting from a CD?
[07:13] <TiMiDo> Pie-rate, 3.5 at the moment
[07:13] <Pici> !version
[07:13] <aji> :)) 10.04
[07:13] <jdnewmil> Floid: grub tries to load the kernel and it freezes ... last thing printed is (boot)
[07:13] <Pie-rate> TiMiDo: can i get 4?
[07:13] <Pici> aji: 10.04 does not exist.
[07:13] <TiMiDo> try and see if there's any backports.
[07:13] <Timberwolf5578> Can someone please tell me the name of the messenger program that can handle yahoo. msn, etc???
[07:13] <Daft_Punk> sca, pulseaudio works best for multiple apps, for isntance it works on VM (windows) and linux at the same time but some things like amarok and youtube wont work together
[07:13] <aji> 7.04 :)
[07:13] <Floid> Oh, if you can pick an old kernel I guess you're not on CD.  Hmm.
[07:14] <Pici> Timberwolf5578: pidgin
[07:14] <Daft_Punk> Timberwolf5578, pidgin
[07:14] <unop> _2, su does the checking against the passwd database only after it has gather credentials and command etc from you - and it is programmed to ask for a password none-theless
[07:14] <Timberwolf5578> thanks
[07:14] <sca> mmm
[07:14] <CorbinFox> timido: do what?  add what?
[07:14] <Pie-rate> TiMiDo: "Kubuntu is available both with KDE 3.5 and KDE 4." -wikipedia
[07:14] <Floid> Actually, I also read "Gutsy" as "Hardy," so ignore me.
[07:14] <jim_p_busy> sorry, i just had a mini blackout
[07:14] <TiMiDo> CorbinFox, you're self to the audio group adduser USERNAME audio
[07:14] <TiMiDo> okey
[07:15] <Quartermaster1> can someone tell me the proper way to burn an Ubuntu cd iso with nero. My way errors out before installation.
[07:15] <IntoxicKat> Good night! See you!
[07:15] <Kalamansi> hello how to convert mpeg / 3gp movies to avi?(ubuntu 8.04 kde desktop)
[07:15] <TiMiDo> Quartermaster1, k3b
[07:15] <CorbinFox> quartermaster1: must it be nero? try brasero
[07:15] <vaportrail123> can some one help me mount a nfts drive
[07:15] <aji> Pici: 7.04
[07:15] <jim_p_busy> Kalamansi: you can use avidemux
[07:15] <_2> unop so it's a bug then ?     err i mean a "feature"      cause you can NOT use su to switch to a passwordless account. except as "$UID=0"
[07:15] <Quartermaster1> ok never heard of it
[07:15] <TiMiDo> vaportrail123, sudo mount -t vfat /device /mount point
[07:15] <jdnewmil> Floid: why, because no-one talks about gutsy anymore?
[07:15] <Floid> Quartermaster:  They make cdrecord and someone's made a nice GUI for Windows.
[07:15] <unop> Kalamansi, have a look at ffmpeg or mencoder
[07:15] <Pici> aji: Ask your question again to everyone with the correct version.
[07:15] <vaportrail123> well this is what happens when i try
[07:15] <jim_p_busy> vaportrail123: what is tha problem with mounting?
[07:16] <vaportrail123> wheres pastbin
[07:16] <Quartermaster1> dose it come with fedora or debian?
[07:16] <vaportrail123> !pastebin
[07:16] <Floid> jdnewmil:  Well, I pretty much skipped it so no obvious things come to mind.
[07:16] <Timberwolf5578> thanks
[07:16] <TiMiDo> Quartermaster1, ??
[07:16] <vaportrail123> http://paste.ubuntu.com/48801/
[07:16] <jim_p_busy> Quartermaster1: you do have the .iso file? then you can right click it and select burn on disk
[07:17] <Floid> jdnewmil:  But does the Hardy livecd work okay on that hardware?
[07:17] <jdnewmil> Floid: ah.  Well, maybe I need to find a #grub channel...
[07:17] <unop> _2, the same goes for sudo - if you 'disable' an account, there is no way to become that user unless you are root first
[07:17] <vaportrail123> im trying to mount a usb hardrive and its giving me an error
[07:17] <BeBoo> ubuntu forums are down =[
[07:17] <Cheeky> i have a old p2 266 MHz prorcess its a dimension xps d266; i wanted to install the ubuntu server and run APACHE and MySQL would it run ; btw i beleive it cam with 128 ram ?
[07:17] <jim_p_busy> vaportrail123: what error?
[07:17] <vaportrail123>  lemme screen shot it
[07:17] <Timberwolf5578> I downloaded gnome 2 themes and GTK 2 metacity themes from the Package Manager.  What's the difference between the two?
[07:17] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: i think enything without a guy will run
[07:17] <_2> unop no i'm not talking about a disabled account.  i'm talking passwordless      login without a password
[07:17] <Pie-rate> TiMiDo: 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop', for future reference
[07:17] <Daft_Punk> where can i go for support on tint2
[07:18] <Cheeky> jim_p_busy: a gui ..or guy >?
[07:18] <jim_p_busy> Timberwolf5578: metacity is the window border and the title, gtk is the rest that is inside that window
[07:18] <jdnewmil> Floid: I dunno... I will check.  bbl
[07:18] <Kalamansi> unop : is there a GUI video converter?
[07:18] <vaportrail123> it says the folloiwing
[07:18] <Timberwolf5578> ok thanks
[07:18] <_2> unop i can login and not be prompted for a password    but to try to switch to that account from another user account, always prompts and then fails!
[07:18] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: yea i meant gui lmao
[07:18] <unop> Kalamansi, there are front-ends to ffmpeg, sure - but ask me to name one and i can't :)
[07:18] <Timberwolf5578> I only got like 4 more themes total.  Does that sound right?
[07:19] <Daft_Punk> a gui guy
[07:19] <jim_p_busy> Kalamansi: i told you... avidemux
[07:19] <jim_p_busy> lol
[07:19] <Cheeky> lol
[07:19] <aji> HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 7.04(Floid: i am back to present ). Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM :)
[07:19] <Cheeky> so it should run for those purposes ..i justy want to suimulate a server .and use it to study SQL
[07:19] <jim_p_busy> aji: sure. pm me
[07:20] <ZorbaTHut> weird issue: I've got an ubuntu VM inside VMware. When I change the ethernet card's mac address, Ubuntu loses it entirely - it stops showing up in ifconfig. Is there some standard way I can say "hey, dude, go look for an ethernet card, you should have one", or is there something weirder going on?
[07:20] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: yes. do your jobs demand high cpu power?
[07:20] <FAJ> i i am using intrepid ibex;  because of the ath5k support, but it seems not to be working; even though it says it connects. i asked there, to no avail... so am asking here
[07:20] <nevagonnagiveuup> any know a good Kanji recognition ( Chinese Character OCR software ) for linux?
[07:20] <unop> _2, on most unices - deleting the password from an account is as good as disabling the account, because most systems are set to not allow a user to log on with a blank password (for obvious security reasons) - and it he can't log on, it makes no sense for the system to be usable anyhow - which probably explains why su (and perhaps sudo too) behave like this for you
[07:21] <Daft_Punk> buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, melt, upgrade it
[07:21] <jim_p_busy> ZorbaTHut: why change the mac address?
[07:21] <unop> _2, why don't you just set a password and use sudo instead - it can be configured not to prompt for a password - if dealing with passwords is such an issue for you
[07:21] <Cheeky> jim_p_busy: well iam just learning SQL right now .. and MYSQL and soon ill start to make a project of som sort after i learn .. mind you i got this machie buy driving around the university dumpster
[07:22] <ZorbaTHut> jim, because I'm making a series of VMs based off the same preconfigured instance, and identical mac addresses = bad
[07:22] <_2> unop why don't i just use all default settings....       i thought it would be obvious, i don't like default.
[07:22] <unop> _2, this is far from default
[07:22] <Daft_Punk> can you install solaris (sun OS) on virtualbox?
[07:22] <vaportrail123> $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,1) failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': operation not supported mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. choose one action: choice 1: if you have window then disconnect the external devices by   clicking on the 'safely remove hardware' icon in the windows    takebar then shutdown windows cleanly. choice 2: if you don't have windows then you can use the 'force' option for  your own responsi
[07:22] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: then i think you should be fine. you need to get good at command line though
[07:22] <ZorbaTHut> so I make a copy, and tell vmware to generate new unique info for the VM, and it makes a new mac address. for some reason this is the first time this process has ever failed :)
[07:23] <vaportrail123> christ... i just typed that all out...
[07:23] <Pici> Daft_Punk: Try asking in #vbox, its not really an Ubuntu support issue :)
[07:23] <unop> _2, and if there are conveniences offered - take them, instead of making life difficult for yourself
[07:23] <vaportrail123> but yeah, every time i try to use the drive it gives me that
[07:23] <_2> unop i'm not the only one that has done    passwd -d username
[07:23] <vaportrail123> i tried the command in terminal, but it didnt work
[07:23] <jim_p_busy> vaportrail123: the drive was not "safely removed" on a windows pc. put it on a win pc and safely remove it
[07:23] <Cheeky> jim_p_busy: yeah man .. i have been doing it for the lkast week ever since i swicthed to ubuntu
[07:23] <vaportrail123> i did
[07:23] <vaportrail123> i even format
[07:23] <unop> _2, yes indeed, and you aren't the only one to run into trouble after that - sudo to the rescue
[07:23] <vaportrail123> *even formatted it
[07:23] <Kalamansi> jim_p_busy : after downloading and double click the .deb i get error "Error Dependency is not suitable :avidemux"
[07:23] <FAJ> i i am using intrepid ibex;  because of the ath5k support, but it seems not to be working; even though it says it connects. i asked there, to no avail... so am asking here
[07:24] <jim_p_busy> brb
[07:24] <_2> unop and again,   why don't i just use all defaults...      ;/
[07:24] <Kalamansi> jim_p_busy : after downloading and double click the .deb i get error "Error Dependency is not suitable :avidemux"
[07:24] <vaportrail123> any ideas?
[07:24] <Daft_Punk> aster!sk@mpersand
[07:24] <_2> unop thanks for the time of day though.
[07:24] <jim_p_busy> you need to dl it only from the repo. this is the only way for the dependency stuff to be cheked
[07:24] <jim_p_busy> Kalamansi:  you need to dl it only from the repo. this is the only way for the dependency stuff to be cheked
[07:25] <vaportrail123> i tried to formatt it to something other than ntfs but it wouldnt let me on my pc
[07:25] <Quartermaster1> sorry I didn't get back to you guys , I was and still am trying to burn the iso
[07:25] <Cheeky> jim_p_busy: should i run .. server verision of ubuntyu ?
[07:25] <usser> ZorbaTHut, i know virtualbox allows you to change the mac address of your guest os surely vmware should have something similar so u wont have to "physically" do it on your guest OS
[07:25] <Kalamansi> jim_p_how to dl it from the repo?
[07:25] <ZorbaTHut> usser, no, it does. when I use that functionality, eth0 goes away
[07:25] <unop> vaportrail123, the ntfsfix utility from the ntfsprogs package could help you
[07:25] <ZorbaTHut> I'm doing the right thing on vmware, ubuntu is just losing track of the ethernet card
[07:25] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: server only
[07:25] <vaportrail123> how do i use that?
[07:25] <Daft_Punk> Pici, i did ask in vbox but no one answer so can I ask in here
[07:26] <_2> unop heh one final note, my ssystem is so non-default that sudo is totally useless.  whole system is "nosuid"    (and yes i tested to see if that was why su was acting that way, it's not.)
[07:26] <Pici> Daft_Punk: Its not really on topic for this channel.
[07:26] <usser> ZorbaTHut, oh i see. dont know then sorry
[07:26] <Daft_Punk> Pici, it sort of is related
[07:26] <unop> _2, ahh, you're agentBob from #debian earlier on??
[07:27] <_2> unop i'm Agent_bob from here too.
[07:27] <Cheeky> jim_p_busy: ok .. any suggestions .. for a quick live cd .. to try and see if my hardware is compaitble
[07:27] <jetscreamer> nxmehta: i think that's just how the autopartioner is set up... me i always use manual. (not real familiar with it)
[07:27] <unop> _2, why do we even bother?
[07:27] <Agent_bob> unop idk.
[07:27] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: its old so i dont think it wont be compatible
[07:28] <Agent_bob> unop i just asked why,  and you did answer.   thank you.
[07:29] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: you can try puppy linux though
[07:29] <Cheeky> ok
[07:30] <Cheeky> jim_p_busy: whch puppy verison ?
[07:30] <jim_p_busy> how do i display stuff about the medibuntu repo?
[07:30] <jim_p_busy> Cheeky: the latest one
[07:31] <krish> hey how to connect the digital camer in ubuntu
[07:31] <fgdgfd> hey! how do i change the ubuntu exit dialog icons? what are the icon names?
[07:31] <jim_p_busy> krish: to get the photos?
[07:31] <Cheeky> jim_p_busy: ok man thnx
[07:31] <krish> yes
[07:31] <krish> to upload photos from the camera
[07:32] <ceil420> krish, wish i knew :x it's apparently not plug'n'play in Debian like my mp3 player is
[07:33] <bmoc> fairly simple for some of you probably. I went about installing ubuntu on my ntfs drive, with the standard "30 gig setup". (instead of making new partitions for it). Is there a way to enlarge the 30 gig's of space its sitting on, without starting over? its on a 320gig drive.
[07:33] <Agent_bob> !medibuntu > jim_p_busy
[07:35] <Agent_bob> bmoc you could make a larger file and migrate to it i guess....   there might even be a way to grow the fs-file....
[07:36] <Agent_bob> the scba of the filesystem in a file is something i haven't actually played with.
[07:37] <bmoc> Agent_bob, was a huge mistake on my part... I shoulda just wiped windows off... i dont care to start over, but i havn't booted into it in over 3 months. been trying to just save/work off the big drives space(/host/) but i'd love to be able to work "better" out of my home directory
[07:37] <bmoc> thanks though.
[07:38] <Agent_bob> bmoc you do know that linux by nature can mount other file systems within it's own ?     i.e.  make another large file/filesystem  and mount it on /home
[07:38] <Razerblader> what virtual os is the big one?
[07:39] <kindofabuzz> Big Virtual OS
[07:39] <kindofabuzz> =)
[07:40] <Razerblader> kindofabuzz: vmware, or virtualbox?
[07:40] <bmoc> hmm, no I did not... ive basically got 2 drives... one 40gig ntfs with windows, one 320gig ntfs with ubuntu installed on it(yeh, silly me).
[07:40] <vampirefrog> any ATI users here?
[07:40] <vampirefrog> I need help testing an app I'm making :)
[07:40] <Agent_bob> vampirefrog not that i'd admit it.
[07:40] <amanu> i have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection
[07:41] <bmoc> is there any way to work mounting some space(maybe removing windows ;p and using the 40 gig) simply as my /home/ without having to start over?
[07:41] <jim_p_busy> vampirefrog: me!!!!
[07:41] <vampirefrog> Agent_bob: if u run "aticonfig -odgt" in a terminal, what do u get?
[07:41] <fgdgfd> hello, the logout/restart/shutdown/etc dialog.. how do i change those icons? whats their names? thanks
[07:41] <vampirefrog> jim_p_busy: u try that too, aticonfig -odgt or aticonfig --odgt
[07:41] <amanu> now its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how acn i use that softwares
[07:42] <amanu> now its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how can i use that softwares
[07:42] <jim_p_busy> fgdgfd: search in /usr/share/icons
[07:42] <amanu> any one
[07:42] <amanu> pls
[07:42] <jim_p_busy> vampirefrog: i dont trust atis stuff, thank you
[07:42] <Agent_bob> bmoc no.   and that because you started with a filesystem inside a file located in a forgien filesystem...
[07:42] <vampirefrog> jim_p_busy: it's supposed to display gpu temperature but ok
[07:42] <ZorbaTHut> okay, any idea how to fix aptitude segfaulting? :P
[07:42] <jim_p_busy> vampirefrog: ati tool made a mess of my brilliant xorg file
[07:43] <fgdgfd> jim_p_busy, lol like searching the local drive :)
[07:43] <ZorbaTHut> sudo aptitude install git-core --> segfault
[07:43] <vampirefrog> jim_p_busy: then how about u just run aticonfig --help and pastebin the output
[07:43] <amanu> an ideas
[07:43] <Agent_bob> bmoc if you see the concept, it's like a box in a box in a box...
[07:43] <amanu> i have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection
[07:43] <Agent_bob> bmoc if you destroy the outer box all is lost.
[07:43] <Tenebrys> Hey... I've got a problem that's kinda lingering after I removed my grub partition.
[07:44] <Tenebrys> After I removed my ubuntu partition I mean.
[07:44] <CKey> can i ask you something ?
[07:44] <bmoc> Agent_bob, last question, if I could resize the 320gig partition, to say, 2 160gig partitions, could I mount the extra one as /home/?
[07:44] <Agent_bob> bmoc yes.
[07:44] <Agent_bob> bmoc very simple and effecient
[07:44] <Tenebrys> It goes like this.
[07:44] <bmoc> Agent_bob, ty much. ;)
[07:45] <amanu> can we open .iso files to get contents in it
[07:45] <Agent_bob> bmoc welcome
[07:45] <linuxhelp-Suppor> morning from europe to ALL
[07:45] <Agent_bob> bmoc one final note
[07:45] <unop> ZorbaTHut, does apt-get function fine?
[07:45] <jdnewmil> amanu: read man page on mount... search for "loop" option
[07:45] <Tenebrys> Ever since I installed Vista on top of my derelict (refusing to boot) Ubuntu partition, my grub bootloader is apparetnly still kinda around, but nonfunctional.
[07:45] <unop> !iso
[07:45] <unop> amanu, ^^
[07:45] <jim_p_busy> vampirefrog: i wont ruin my xorg.conf again
[07:45] <bmoc> Agent_bob, yes?
[07:45] <amanu> i dont wanna write .iso file to disk in yust wanna open it and use its data
[07:46] <Tenebrys> If I reboot my system I get an "Error 17" error, unless I have a Vista CD in the drive that I can use to manually boot into Vista.
[07:46] <amanu> jdnewmil:for that what can i type in terminal
[07:46] <unop> amanu, see what ubottu just said
[07:46] <linuxhelp-Suppor> everybody should use a seperated partition for /home
[07:46] <vampirefrog> jim_p_busy: as u wish. the --help line just displays usage anyway
[07:46] <amanu> ok
[07:46] <Agent_bob> bmoc if you can resize the ntfs partition and make sufficient free space to contain all your linux system you can then migrate it to the new partition (takes a little work but imo worth it)   and then windows is free to remain or be removed at your discression.
[07:46] <Tenebrys> I'm -guessing- that grub is still in the boot sector and has to be dug out somehow, just not sure where to poke or what program to use.
[07:46] <brandonmpace> Tenebrys: so you don´t have ubuntu, just vesta?
[07:46] <CKey> my problem... in windows i install the drivers of my graphics card so i can change the resolution to 1280x.... but in ubuntu i can only select to 1024x768.. what can i do ?
[07:46] <unop> linuxhelp-Suppor, we don't live in stalinish russia :) everyone has a choice
[07:46] <Brainyiscool> Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky?  I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used.  When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of hte partitions on hte IDE drive
[07:47] <Tenebrys> I have Vista and XP (vista as a kind of tryout thing.)  The Ubuntu partition had stopped working.
[07:47] <Brainyiscool> I can boot into both Windows and Linus on the drive (Dual boot), so i know it is partitioned
[07:47] <vampirefrog> in soviet russia, the partition uses YOU as home
[07:47] <Tenebrys> So I erased it.
[07:47] <bmoc> Agent_bob, that sounds like a plan. going to read up alittle so I dont bork it up. ty so much for the advice.
[07:47] <linuxhelp-Suppor> sorry i can't scroll backwards to the guy who asked for home
[07:47] <Brainyiscool> vampirefrog: I can has real help plzkthanxbai
[07:48] <Agent_bob> bmoc welcome.
[07:48] <brandonmpace> Tenebrys: do a repair install with your vista disc and that´ll fix it
[07:48] <linuxhelp-Suppor> i use command line irc
[07:48] <Tenebrys> Repair install... hmmmmmm.  Would that do damage to existing files and setups?
[07:48] <brandonmpace> no
[07:48] <Agent_bob> linuxhelp-Suppor the page-up not work ?
[07:49] <brandonmpace> just make sure it only repairs the vista bootloader
[07:49] <Brainyiscool> Any ideas?  Should I resend my question?
[07:49] <Tenebrys> Alright.  I'll at least give that a try... though it's disheartening that vista didn't get itself right on the first install cycle.
[07:49] <linuxhelp-Suppor> i do not often use console-irc but at my work i must use
[07:49] <Tenebrys> I'll be back soon.
[07:49] <linuxhelp-Suppor> can't setup xchat..:-(
[07:51] <Agent_bob> linuxhelp-Suppor irssi supports scroll-back-buffering accessable via page-up   as does also epic/bitchx    not sure what client you are using
[07:51] <tenX> hi guys
[07:52] <Agent_bob> linuxhelp-Suppor if xchat-text   then i simpathize with you...
[07:52] <linuxhelp-Suppor> use iirc
[07:53] <linuxhelp-Suppor> was long time ago i was at irc..sorry
[07:53] <Brainyiscool> Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky?  I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used.  When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of the partitions on the IDE drive
[07:53] <linuxhelp-Suppor> but after some fresh setups of hardy i have seen ubuntu channel now i am here
[07:54] <magnetron> linuxhelp-Suppor, welcome
[07:54] <tenX> is there any commoin workaround for sata based systems not being able to completely turn off by shutdown or similar instructions? error scanning IDE devs is the last error msg
[07:55] <linuxhelp-Suppor> Hello :-)
[07:55] <tenX> hi
[07:55] <magnetron> hello there!
[07:55] <linuxhelp-Suppor> here in germany ubuntu pc are more popular then ever :-)
[07:56] <Rufus> OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Please someone help
[07:56] <linuxhelp-Suppor> thanks to M$-Viesta
[07:56] <linuxhelp-Suppor> ;-)
[07:56] <Brainyiscool_> Hm, accidently left and perhaps missed an answer
[07:56] <Agent_bob> :)
[07:56] <Brainyiscool_> Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky?  I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used.  When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of the partitions on the IDE drive
[07:56] <magnetron> linuxhelp-Suppor, please join #ubuntu-offtopic , i want to ask you about that
[07:56] <magnetron> !rufus
[07:56] <Rufus> I just upgraded my server from 6 to 8 and now all I get is BusyBox v1.1.3 and an (initramfs) screen. All my stuff is on this server. HELP!!!!
[07:57] <Tenebrys> No luck.  And here's the odd part.
[07:58] <brandonmpace> Rufus: can you use an ubuntu desktop live cd an copy it off?
[07:58] <amanu> how can i mount .iso file in ubuntu
[07:58] <Rufus> I might be able to, but I'd really like to fix this
[07:58] <Tenebrys> I used the Vista bootloader modifier "EasyBCD" earlier to configure my system so that I could boot either Vista or XP.
[07:58] <hateball> !info gnome-mount | amanu
[07:58] <brandonmpace> Rufus: would be a good idea to do that first just in case
[07:59] <Rufus> well, that could be a little difficult, you see I have about 1tb of data on this server, and not enough HDD space anywhere else
[07:59] <Tenebrys> It didn't appear to fix the problem with grub either, even though it -did- add XP to the selector screen that I get if I boot the computer with a Vista disk in the drive and wait for the "press any key to boot from CD" timer to run out.
[07:59] <amanu> hateball:i want to mount .iso file in my desktop how can i?
[08:00] <airtonix> amanu, gnome-mount
[08:00] <litel> hi how to destroy mi swap seem to don't work, and maybe make linux crash, what should i do ?
[08:00] <amanu>  gnome-mount "after that any thing /text needed"
[08:00] <Tenebrys> Essentially, I can't reach the Vista bootloader by trying to boot from my hard-drive, but I can reach the Vista bootloader if I've inserted the Vista CD..
[08:00] <Agent_bob> amanu mount -o loop file.iso /some/where
[08:00] <airtonix> amanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning
[08:01] <airtonix> amanu, although its a page for edgey the commands are still the same
[08:01] <amanu> Agent_bob:ok i will try now
[08:01] <airtonix> amanu, you can discover how to use partcular commands with $ man command
[08:01] <Tenebrys> If I try to boot straight from my hard-drive, it says "grub loading... error 17" and I can't get through.
[08:02] <airtonix> amanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning
[08:02] <airtonix> amanu, follow that...three steps required
[08:02] <Tenebrys> It's done this ever since I replaced my Ubuntu partition with Windows Vista.
[08:02] <brandonmpace> Tenebrys: did you try the repair install?
[08:02] <xye> anyone know why my mouse won't work when i'm trying install ubuntu with a dual boot? i get stuck at step 4 or wahtever trying to set the partition space
[08:02] <airtonix> amanu, or you can take the easy way out and use the gui : gnome-mount
[08:02] <Tenebrys> You mean the startup repair?
[08:02] <Tenebrys> I did.  It said no problems found.
[08:02] <brandonmpace> Tenebrys: hmm
[08:02] <Tenebrys> I also tried bootsect.exe.
[08:03] <amanu> airtonix  gui : gnome-mount how to get this
[08:03] <Agent_bob> Tenebrys partition numbers changed ?
[08:03] <airtonix> amanu, sudo apt-get install gnome-mount
[08:03] <amanu> ya im installing  sudo apt-get install gnome-mount
[08:03] <airtonix> amanu, is if not called gnome-mount you can use : apt-cache search iso | grep mount
[08:03] <brandonmpace> Tenebrys: that error usually means that it can´t find the partition that the boot files are on. (your linux partition)  which you deleted, correct?
[08:03] <amanu> i installed
[08:04] <Tenebrys> Yeah.  But it also means that grub is still buried somewhere, and I need to go in with a scalpel and pick it out, and replace it with whatever's supposed to be there instead.
[08:04] <amanu> does this statement mean " 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 115 not upgraded." its not installed
[08:04] <brandonmpace> Tenebrys: you need to find a way to install the vista bootloader to the mbr.  grub is in your mbr
[08:04] <Rufus> I'm trying recovery mode
[08:04] <Agent_bob> Tenebrys MBR
[08:04] <airtonix> amanu, for the record, you havent installed any special drivers or anything...al you have installed is a frontend gui that holds your hand when mounting / unmounting  iso images
[08:05] <airtonix> amanu, that statement means you already have gnome-mount installed
[08:05] <Tenebrys> Ahhhh.
[08:05] <amanu> ok then what to do?
[08:05] <airtonix> amanu, look in your application menu
[08:05] <Rufus> is there any way of undoing an upgrade from 6 to 8?
[08:05] <Agent_bob> Rufus heh i wish.
[08:05] <brandonmpace> lol
[08:05] <brandonmpace> me too
[08:06] <Rufus> aaaaaarh
[08:06] <Rufus> I'm going to kill my self if I can't get this working
[08:06] <amanu> airtonix: in applications-> where to get
[08:06] <Tenebrys> hmmmmm...
[08:06] <amanu> accesories,internet?
[08:06] <Tenebrys> So essentially Microsoft should (hopefully) have a program for rebuilding the MBR?
[08:06] <amanu> airtonix:accesories,internet?
[08:06] <Rufus> FKKKKKK
[08:07] <SkywaIker> Does ubuntu support cluster computing ?
[08:07] <Agent_bob> Rufus linux is developed on the itialian racing theory.   "what is behind you is not important"
[08:07] <brandonmpace> Rufus: if you have a smaller empty hard disk you can put that in there and install to it while also using the partitions off of the terabyte drive for the data that´s already there
[08:07] <airtonix> amanu, sorry my bad...that prog doesnt put a option in your menus
[08:07] <amanu> airtonix:i cant get what u said
[08:08] <brandonmpace> Tenebrys: yes google it.  maybe something like fixmbr i believe
[08:08] <Agent_bob> SkywaIker linux is a clustering os yes
[08:08] <airtonix> amanu, i mean : the program you just installed does not create menu entry
[08:08] <airtonix> amanu, you actually want  sudo apt-get install gmountiso
[08:08] <airtonix> !gmountiso| amanu
[08:08] <amanu> ok can i try this sudo apt-get install gmountiso
[08:08] <Rufus> what does this mean? "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/5f53ea6d-f1a1-42e9-837f-d6f49433095c does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
[08:08] <amanu> ya its getting installed
[08:09] <brandonmpace> it can´t find the disk
[08:09] <Tenebrys> Alright, I'll have a look.  Thanks!
[08:09] <Rufus> but the disk is there
[08:09] <airtonix> amanu, gmountiso will be in applications -> system tools
[08:09] <Rufus> it was all working 10 minutes ago
[08:09] <Rufus> FK
[08:09] <amanu> yes i opened it
[08:09] <Agent_bob> Rufus means the initramfs can't find a filesystem with that UUID
[08:09] <Rufus> Agnent_bob: and how do I fix that?
[08:10] <brandonmpace> Rufus: for future reference, when upgrading it is always safer to back up data and do a clean install
[08:10] <amanu> here its asking to things
[08:10] <Agent_bob> Rufus rebuild the initramfs.img file ...
[08:10] <Stoffer> how do I edit gru to change my default boot partition?
[08:10] <fenerli7>  I want to use Linux (Ubuntu being my choice of distro for now) however after experimenting, I've noticed that I need NVIDIA 177.xx drivers or put up with terrible 2D performance (or use nv and have no 3D). Should I use the alpha Intrepid or Hardy and manually install the newer driver?
[08:10] <Stoffer> grub*
[08:10] <Rufus> how bob>
[08:10] <airtonix> amanu, might want to save this webpage to your home folder for future reference: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy
[08:10] <amanu> what does mount point mean?
[08:10] <amanu> ok i will
[08:10] <Rufus> it's on a raid 1 array, does that make a difference? it's a hardware raid card
[08:11] <airtonix> amanu, a mount point is where the devie will be exposed for access to you...its almost always a folder you create
[08:11] <amanu> what does mount point mean?
[08:11] <fenerli7> amanu: mount point is the directory you want the partition to store the contents of
[08:11] <amanu> ok
[08:11] <Agent_bob> Rufus well "i would," finsih the boot process, by manually mounting the root fs   and exiting the initramfs busybox shell....  you will probably boot a live cd and work on it in a chrooted environment
[08:11] <airtonix> fenerli7, 'store' is the proper description
[08:11] <FedererRoger> how to install conky?
[08:11] <FedererRoger> err
[08:11] <FedererRoger> stampy
[08:11] <FedererRoger> no no
[08:11] <Rufus> okay agent, now in english???? Sorto of a noob here
[08:11] <FloodBot3> FedererRoger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:11] <airtonix> FedererRoger, sudo apt-get install conky
[08:12] <FedererRoger> how to instal....           wimpy
[08:12] <brandonmpace> fenerli7: just use hardy and install by           sudo apt-get install nvidia71xx
[08:12] <Brainyiscool_> Alright, i think i figured out hte root of my problem
[08:12] <fenerli7> airtonix: what?
[08:12] <FedererRoger> omg i cant rememebr the name
[08:12] <Brainyiscool_> My partition table is corrupted
[08:12] <Agent_bob> Rufus where is your root file system, ?
[08:12] <airtonix> fenerli7, a mount point is not a place of storage....it is a place of access
[08:12] <Brainyiscool_> For some reason, there is an overlap
[08:12] <Rufus> on my raid array
[08:12] <FedererRoger> how to install "launchy" !!!!
[08:12] <Agent_bob> Rufus ;/    never mind.
[08:13] <Rufus> eh?
[08:13] <amanu> is all packages installed by me from add/remove programs in ubuntu are .deb files can i get these fileass
[08:13] <fenerli7> airtonix: ah yes, good point, I was too busy trying to make it sound easy for the newbie
[08:13] <amanu> sorry
[08:13] <amanu> files
[08:13] <Agent_bob> yeah if you can setup a raid array you can maintain it.    sorry,  out of my forte'
[08:13] <amanu> any where and installe it on a system not having net connection
[08:13] <Rufus> :(
[08:13] <BeBoo> jim_p_busy: just wanted to let you know i solved my issue. the horiz and vert refresh rates were off.
[08:13] <Rufus> can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!!???????
[08:14] <brandonmpace> fenerli7: if you simply go to add/remove    the nvidia drivers are there, just search nvidia
[08:14] <FedererRoger> how to install "launchy" !!!!
[08:14] <FedererRoger> help
[08:14] <amanu> Rufus:what do u want
[08:14] <fenerli7> brandonmpace: but the 177 drivers are not there in hardy
[08:14] <Brainyiscool_> Anyone able to help me fix the partitions?
[08:14] <amanu> pls dont ask to ask a question
[08:14] <Brainyiscool_> http://nqrwemkrwe.pastebin.com/d7fdc9f1c
[08:14] <jim_p_busy> BeBoo: how?
[08:14] <airtonix> amanu, the files you download and install via apt-get/synaptics/add-remove are all cached in the /var/cache/apt/archive folder
[08:14] <Rufus> I just upgraded from 6 to 8 and now my server doesn' tboot
[08:14] <Brainyiscool_> That's the output of fdisk and gpart
[08:14] <Brainyiscool_> I just don't know how to fix it
[08:14] <fenerli7> brandonmpace: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-177
[08:15] <airtonix> amanu, correction: /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:15] <brandonmpace> fenerli7: I would say to compile it yourself from nvidia´s website
[08:15] <FedererRoger> how to install "launchy" !!!!  Help!!
[08:15] <airtonix> amanu, a programm called apt-on-cd can help you make backups of those packages...
[08:15] <fenerli7> brandonmpace: thanks, will do :)
[08:15] <amanu> airtonix:
[08:15] <brandonmpace> fenerli7: you´re welcom
[08:15] <amanu> ok i found them
[08:15] <brandonmpace> welcome*
[08:15] <Agent_bob>      can't someone help Rufus with a broken initramfs here ?     "on a raid array"
[08:16] <fenerli7> brandonmpace: and thanks for finding my question, I thought it was lost :D
