[19:36] <the_manu_212> i have a 2,5" external hdd drive with 2 usb interfaces 1 for power supply and one for data, i put one into the mainboard usb and one into a extension card, after powering off the hdd was still turning but slower and there was a kind of strange noise, then after i disconnected one connection the hdd turned off, after connecting it again, the pc powered on... why happened this and did i destroy anything?? how to analize?
[19:36] <bugfly> clear
[19:36] <sebsebseb> Myrtti: thanks for the link :)
[19:37] <LogicalDash> the_manu_212, I think you're in the wrong channel, this channel is specifically about a Linux distribution
[19:38] <linduxed> is there a way to disable the F1-Help bind?
[19:39] <paceholder> hi!  I can't mount ntfs partition. During ubuntu installation I've chosen mount point  /winC. After I changed in /etc/fstab   path to /home/winC nothing happend. It's still in /winC but now doesn't work
[19:39] <ctmjr> the_manu_212: you might ask in #hardware the noise you hear a clicking sound? is the hard drive trying to park
[19:39] <the_manu_212> LogicalDash which channel would u recommend i'm also a ubuntu user
[19:40] <LogicalDash> paceholder, what's still in winC?
[19:40] <linduxed> paceholder: have you got the ntfs-3g package?
[19:40] <JeremyBicha1> paceholder: try sudo mount -a
[19:40] <LogicalDash> the_manu_212, ctmjr just recommended #hardware
[19:41] <paceholder> but I want it mout automatically. that's why I changed /etc/fstab
[19:42] <LogicalDash> paceholder, /etc/fstab is only read at boot-time, to mount at any other time you have to use some other method, like the mount command
[19:42] <paceholder> linduxed: ntfs-3g is installed.
[19:42] <LogicalDash> paceholder, perhaps pastebin your /etc/fstab?
[19:42] <vega_> where can i see what percentage a certain filesystem has reserved for root?
[19:43] <paceholder> LogicalDash: I know. I reboot computer after changings but it useless
[19:43] <vega_> ext3 in this case
[19:43] <aboleth> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7668110
[19:43] <LogicalDash> vega_, I don't think filesystems reserve by percent, ext3 just marks individual files as being owned by root
[19:43] <paul68> I have a ubuntu 8.04 server running as a gateway with a dhcp, bind server with iptables. now I want to do an upgrade to ubuntu server 9.04 due to various tryouts in the past I am not able to do this automaticly so I need to build up everything from scratch. if I whipe my hardrive out and install everything from scratch will I be able to use the internet after placing the various dhcp and bind config files or do I need to pay attention to
[19:43] <paul68> other things
[19:43] <Lynx-O> vega_ r u from fanetworks?
[19:43] <vega_> LogicalDash: err, i think you misunderstood now..
[19:43] <vega_> Lynx-O: no?
[19:43] <Lynx-O> ok
[19:44] <shidoshi> hi
[19:44] <LogicalDash> hello
[19:44] <tech2> paceholder: does /home/winC directory exists?
[19:44] <vega_> LogicalDash: filesystems reserve normally a certain amount of diskspace for root only, so things like syslog etc. can continue to function if a silly user decides to fill a filesystem
[19:44] <shidoshi> pls irc for CZ I am beginer LINUX
[19:44] <LogicalDash> vega_, sounds like you know more about this than me, then :)
[19:44] <vega_> LogicalDash: and this, normally is a percentage ...
[19:45] <paceholder> tech2 : oops. I  thought it will be created automatically
[19:45] <paceholder> thanks
[19:45] <vega_> LogicalDash: well yes, only i can't remember where i could see what it was :)
[19:45] <JeremyBicha1> !cz
[19:45] <LogicalDash> vego_, I would suggest looking in gparted
[19:46] <LogicalDash> I'm using an EeePC and I want to take pictures from the webcam. Skype and Ekiga can see through the webcam just fine, but Camorama cannot. How can I fix this, or else find another app to take pictures from the webcam?

[19:56] <TheNewGuy> I am trying to install ubuntu on a dell optiplex.  128k ram and 450 Pentium processor.  I get mostly throught the boot up, I get to the orenge screen and it stops.  My mouse works but that is all I see on the screen other then the orange back ground.
[19:56] <tuxxy> munu yes you may need to
[19:56] <losher> somePriest: all of the gui burning programs seem to be riddled with problems. Consider using command line programs to burn instead...
[19:57] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: 128 MB of ram is too low for ubuntu even for xubuntu...
[19:57] <jon_davis> does any know how  to rip a dvd on a vlc media player \

[19:59] <KiRLi> jon_davis,

[19:59] <KiRLi> jon_davis, http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-rip-DVDs-for-free-with-VLC/
[19:59] <Trijntje> dew: I dont know what could cause that. Have you checked if you have enought RAM to run the version of ubuntu you are trying?
[20:00] <TheNewGuy> I'm not sueing anyone... it a free program!
[20:00] <TheNewGuy> erusul, 64 meg is minimum... I have 128 meg
[20:00] <somePriest> losher, Which burning program would you recommend?
[20:00] <dew> Trijntje yea i installed it about 5hrs ago. had issues so tryed a uninstall the reinstall with wubi and it keeps failing due to 2mbs of RAM.
[20:00] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: yep i read but you need to install with the alternate cd
[20:01] <erUSUL> !alternate | TheNewGuy
[20:01] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: and believe me it will not run well
[20:01] <Trijntje> dew: what do you mean with due to 2mbs of RAM?
[20:01] <exiton> how can i kill my Xorg process wich is using 99% CPU /etc/init.d/gdm restart is not working i am using ubuntu 9.04 and fluxbox
[20:01] <Gaming4JC> hey all, is there any place I can request support for a Windows Device on Ubuntu? (obviously the win drivers won't work)
[20:01] <Gaming4JC> It's a Thrustmaster USB Wifi Key for PSP.
[20:02] <losher> somePriest: k3b seems to have the fewest problems, as long as you don't ask it to verify a burn (which seems to make it hang). I'd try that one next...
[20:02] <TheNewGuy> erusul, I will not be running off the cd, it will be a dedicated linux machine.
[20:02] <erUSUL> exiton: sudo kill -9 $(pidof X)
[20:02] <TheNewGuy> Erusul, with 128k and 450 pentium, what do you recommend.
[20:02] <exiton> erUSUL: that's not working
[20:03] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: xubuntu alternatecd instalation or puppy linux or dsl
[20:03] <kynes> I'm using public key authentication with ssh and I have a passphare for my key
[20:03] <piv> hey all
[20:03] <kynes> I use "keychain"
[20:03] <somePriest> losher, Its a bit of an embarrassment for a Linux community to want wide-spread use when even the burning software is flakey.
[20:03] <dbglt> hi guys, is there a way to get my wireless network to connect at startup/bootup, ie, not to be dependent on the gui? It's waiting for nm-applet now to connect, which is frustrating
[20:03] <kynes> I want to connect to server with Nomachine NX client, however it requires me to enter a password
[20:03] <losher> somePriest: don'
[20:03] <dew> Trijntje need 256 to install(and i did it 5hrs ago) now it says when i try n install with wubi 254 of RAM. frustrating as.
[20:03] <TheNewGuy> Erusul, what is dsl?
[20:03] <kynes> when I enter an irrelevant string as password, authentication fails
[20:03] <losher> somePriest: don't get me started...
[20:03] <erUSUL> exiton: « ps ax | grep X » (mayus)
[20:04] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: damm small linux
[20:04] <kynes> even when I enter the real user password, it fails again
[20:04] <kynes> how can I use Nomachine NX client with ssh public key auth ?
[20:04] <somePriest> losher, You don't agree?
[20:04] <TheNewGuy> erusul  LOL... thats really funny.  Unfortunatly, I need a gui for the person that is goiging to us the system..  if i bumped the ram to 512, do you think it might work?
[20:05] <losher> somePriest: I *do* agree, which is why you don't want to start me ranting on the subject of poor quality burning programs on linux...
[20:05] <Trijntje> dew: that is very strange, when do you get the error? When you try to install ubuntu or when you try to start ubuntu?
[20:05] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: puppy and dsl have gui....
[20:05] <linduxed1> my gnome keyring doesnt seem to store ssh passphrases, so i have to enter them every time
[20:05] <somePriest> losher : :)
[20:05] <Gaming4JC> *cough* Where do I place driver requests?
[20:05] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: but anyway as i said try xubuntu with the alternate cd install
[20:05] <somePriest> losher - I thought Gnome had something called Gtoaster or toaster or something that worked reasonably well.  I don't see it on the mirrors though anymore.
[20:05] <erUSUL> TheNewGuy: with 512 MB plain ubuntu may be an option
[20:05] <losher> somePriest: see also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=363666 for cli-only burning methods...
[20:06] <dew> TheNewGuy it should work with 128RAM. Check out youtube.com and search for ubuntu 128RAM
[20:06] <TheNewGuy> erusul, ok, great.  I am going to try that direction
[20:06] <piv> i have a process that is eating my resources  when i do top in a terminal i see several instances of ruby using a lot of mem and proc .  how do i find out what ruby script it is?
[20:07] <piv> i mean, if i have a PID, can i get what the actual program or script name from that?
[20:07] <TheNewGuy> dew, thanks I will check it.  but really how costly is a 512 ram sim for a computer that is 8 years old?  gotta be cheap.  10 bucks?  20 bucks?
[20:07] <losher> somePriest: there have been a series of programs, all broken or damaged in different ways....
[20:08] <erUSUL> piv: ps ax | grep pid
[20:08] <dew> Trijntje hey when i tryed to install again with wubi. it loads then gives me that error. :(
[20:08] <mkquist> is hibernate working in jaunty?
[20:09] <sebsebseb> dew: rather bad things can happen with Wubi, hence why it's better to do a partitioned install
[20:09] <Trijntje> dew: try restarting windows, it might be confused or something
[20:09] <sebsebseb> mkquist: depends on the computer if it just works or not,  also you need  double your RAM as swap space to hibernate  as far as I know
[20:10] <somePriest> losher - Damn.
[20:10] <piv> erUSUL, thanks
[20:10] <somePriest> losher - Maybe I should just revisit Windows.  At least my webcam works there.
[20:10] <losher> somePriest: I made a priest swear?
[20:10] <Lamo> I have a compaq presario laptop running jaunty. I have sound with headphones but the speakers do not work?
[20:10] <erUSUL> piv: no problem
[20:10] <somePriest> losher - Damn?  Hardly a curse.
[20:10] <sebsebseb> somePriest: if you can't just get your web cam working in Ubuntu,  I have another idea :)
[20:10] <keylocker> hello
[20:11] <keylocker> im getting troubles with qt apps and netbook remix interface
[20:11] <sebsebseb> somePriest: I mean  an idea or two
[20:11] <pt1989> how to make Shiretoko default browser (Shiretoko = FF 3.5)
[20:11] <keylocker> gtk apps render the title bar correctly and maximizes the application
[20:11] <somePriest> sebastien, Well I can get it working in `cheese`, but doesn't work in Skype (just shows up all green).  Followed directions from at least 5 different pages I googled, none worked.
[20:11] <keylocker> but qt apps stay "windowned" and i cant fit it in the window
[20:12] <losher> somePriest: it's a fact that linux often needs more tinkering to get stuff working. If you don't care for all that, there's no shame in going back to windows....
[20:12] <somePriest> sebastien, But its the combination of no games, apparently poor burning software, flakey webcam support etc etc  that is building up and being a nuisance.
[20:12] <keylocker> someone know how can i solve or report as bug (and what is responsable)
[20:12] <keylocker> ?
[20:12] <pt1989> losher: windows needs more bullshit, without any guarantee that things will work
[20:12] <erUSUL> !bugs | keylocker
[20:12] <pt1989> e.g networking
[20:12] <sebsebseb> somePriest: maybe empathy has working web cam support now,  also  with enough RAM you can do Windows in a virtual machine and use your web  cam like that
[20:12] <erUSUL> !ot
[20:12] <somePriest> losher, I've actually worked as a developer under Linux for nearing 3 years with the Department of National Defence.  Never been big on it as a desktop machine though.
[20:12] <dew> Trijntje yea have done that twice am trying to continue with install with 254 RAM
[20:13] <keylocker> erUSUL: i dont know what is doing thi
[20:13] <somePriest> sebastien, VMs are SO slow though.
[20:13] <keylocker> s
[20:13] <keylocker> i think is metacity, but i dont know how netbook remix interface works
[20:13] <sebsebseb> somePriest: not for me :)
[20:13] <sebsebseb> somePriest: once installed
[20:13] <somePriest> losher - Vista was too slow on my machine, so I figured I'd once again try Linux.
[20:13] <sebsebseb> somePriest: oh  Vista yeah  that may be slow in a vm, but xp should be ok
[20:13] <somePriest> losher - But I now remember why I went Windows previous  :)
[20:13] <Trijntje> dew: when the minimal is 256, the install should fail. But i dont get why windows would think you only have 254 MB
[20:13] <losher> pt1989: it's not an agrument we're allowed to have on this channel. We could move it to #ubuntu-offtopic if I cared, which I don't really, as it's an old, old argument
[20:13] <sebsebseb> somePriest: how much RAM do you have?
[20:14] <somePriest> sebastien, 1.5 GB which should be sufficient for Vista.
[20:14] <Trijntje> dew: You should ask again i think, i cant help you
[20:14] <pt1989> losher, ok
[20:14] <sebsebseb> somePriest: for a psyical install yes,  and  you can probably just about do it in a vm,  Vista is a resource hog
[20:14] <sebsebseb> somePriest: XP will be fine in a vm though
[20:14] <keylocker> erUSUL: some idea?
[20:14] <dew> Trijntje zomg this sucks. Yea its downloading ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso now
[20:15] <somePriest> sebastien, Woudln't want to do gaming in a VM though.  Although I do quite enjoy Moria, and can't do that natively in MS.
[20:15] <sebsebseb> somePriest: well I said  vm for  webcam, not gaming
[20:15] <sebsebseb> somePriest: why boot up a psyical Windows install, when you don't have to?
[20:15] <somePriest> sebastien, I know what you said  :)  I want both.  Although I suppose I could settle for moria, less addictive then my WOW anyway.
[20:15] <Trijntje> dew: that might be easier. windows is weird
[20:16] <deco> can anyone recommend a good linux powered web host?
[20:16] <sebsebseb> somePriest: you can still have your dualboot,   but also have a vm  of Windows inside Ubuntu :)  for  the web cam and what not
[20:16] <dew> Trijntje lol yea i dont understand. it worked b4.?>
[20:16] <muibe> hi! how can i fix fstab so that every removable drive, dvd-rw and extras ide that are added later on will be just read-only?
[20:17] <somePriest> sebastien, Can't really dual boot, small hard disk.  Looking for work, when I find it, I'll buy myself another much larger disk then I could do it  :)  Or a second machine.
[20:17] <sebsebseb> somePriest: oh
[20:17] <sebsebseb> somePriest: well how big is the disk?
[20:18] <somePriest> sebastien, 60GB.  Windows install is damn near 20, WOW is another 15, etc.  It disappears fast.
[20:18] <IndyGunFreak> so just give 10 to ubuntu.
[20:18] <sebsebseb> somePriest: your on Windows right now?
[20:18] <somePriest> sebastien, This is ubuntu.
[20:18] <sebsebseb> somePriest: how much space have you given to Ubuntu all 60GB?
[20:18] <BrAnCaLeoNe> hi
[20:18] <somePriest> sebastien, Yes, full disk.
[20:19] <toothburush> can someoen help me? i'
[20:19] <sebsebseb> somePriest: Ubuntu does not need 60GB
[20:19] <aaronorosen> !hi > BrAnCaLeoNe
[20:19] <toothburush> i've forgotten my password
[20:19] <shinran> hello
[20:19] <somePriest> sebastien, Sure, if I don't download movies or anything else I can likely squeeze it onto 5GB.
[20:19] <oldude67> !hi
[20:19] <shinran> always welcomed i see
[20:19] <toothburush> can someoen help me? i've forgotten my password
[20:19] <shinran> im rather new to this program
[20:19] <sebsebseb> somePriest: you can dual boot you have space,   however the vm suggestion :)   except for those silly Windows only 3D games of course, well you can get WOW working  in Wine even
[20:20] <sebsebseb> shinran: ok what do you want help with?
[20:20] <somePriest> sebastien, Ya, I've seen people *claim* they get the same FPS under Wine.  They must be snorting glue.  :)
[20:20] <shinran> me well is this like blogging or what
[20:20] <oldude67> shinran this like help and support
[20:21] <sebsebseb> shinran: no this is #ubuntu the support channel, but there's also  #ubuntu-offtopic where you can just  talk about Ubuntu
[20:21] <sebsebseb> shinran: and other stuff of course
[20:22] <linduxed1> my gnome keyring doesnt seem to store ssh passphrases, so i have to enter them every time
[20:22] <sebsebseb> !new |  shinran
[20:23] <niadh> my audio has stopped playing, randomly, what might be the issue?
[20:24] <Kalmi> !sound | niadh
[20:25] <sebsebseb> niadh: sometimes things like that happen
[20:25] <[-Zhyko-]> who knows what to do to do in the GIMP image into several equal parts
[20:25] <humbolt> how do I do network authentication with the least amount of work
[20:25] <sebsebseb> niadh: you can run killall pulseaudio && sudo alsa force-reload   in the terminal  and  you will probably get your sound back
[20:25] <fwaokda> I'm trying to get my grub menu's "Windows Vista" option to point to the proper place... How do I find out what the proper place is though?
[20:26] <ahmed-araby> Is there's command line tool available to check for correct IPV4 ?
[20:26] <niadh> Yeah, I changed from pulse audio to alsa, and as a last resort tried oss
[20:26] <dew> Trijntje k ill c if this downloads and installs. will get back to you asap.
[20:26] <niadh> I also rebooted and the issue has persisted
[20:26] <sebsebseb> niadh: oh
[20:27] <sebsebseb> niadh: well change things back to how they were and  it's worth trying the command I just gave
[20:27] <Trijntje> dew: i hope it works!
[20:27] <Flannel> fwaokda: `sudo fdisk -l` (that's an L)
[20:27] <befuddled> hello there
[20:28] <befuddled> i am experiencing problems with firefox - i cannot stream video and images are pixelated - can some please help me
[20:28] <niadh> sebsebsed: It's not worked, it's probably worth noting i changed my motherboard but the sound worked for well over a week before it simply ceased
[20:28] <fwaokda> Flannel, ok it says its /dev/sdd1 ... but how do I find out what that means what I put in the "rootnoverify" option of my grub menu... or is that what I put there?
[20:29] <redsoxking> I'm having a problem with apps automatically minimizing any clue how to fix this, just started
[20:29] <sebsebseb> niadh: maybe an actsaul hardware issue then, I don't know
[20:29] <fwaokda> Flannel, right now it says (hd0,1)
[20:29] <epalm> why does ubuntu install rhythmbox with ubuntu-server :S
[20:29] <niadh> sebsebsed: Is there not a command to reinstall the kernel and reinitialise the drivers?
[20:29] <sebsebseb> niadh: well Linux users in ##hardware as well, they  may have some ideas
[20:30] <sebsebseb> niadh: and I don't think trying to re install the kernel, or installing a later one, will do much good
[20:30] <pepperjack> epalm: i can't imagine that it does
[20:30] <Flannel> fwaokda: sdd1 is hd3,0
[20:31] <fwaokda> Flannel, thanks! I'll try that out now :)
[20:31] <RobOakes>  /join #pyqt
[20:31] <Flannel> fwaokda: You conver a, b, c, d, etc into 1, 2, 3, 4, and then take the 1234 afterwards as 1234, and then subtract one from each (so d1 becomes 4,1 which you subtract and get 3,0)

[20:35] <Tbstewa> Hi Ubuntu-ers i have a quick question... i am runnin ubuntu 9.04 and i was wondering if there was a way that i can play .wmv files in the media player or will i have to convert the files to another format?
[20:35] <riviera_> alrighty
[20:35] <camsex> hi
[20:35] <somePriest> JohnTeddy, ifconfig
[20:35] <camsex> engl0131sh
[20:35] <redsoxking> riviera_: what OS are you trying to put in there?
[20:35] <arand> JohnTeddy: look at ifconfig/iwconfig
[20:35] <camsex> hi
[20:35] <camsex> engl0131sh
[20:36] <losher> diddy: nls is discussed in 'man mount'. It's a synonym for iocharset (which see). I've never had to use it myself...
[20:36] <diddy> losher, thx
[20:37] <Tbstewa> anyone? >_<
[20:37] <somePriest> What can cause the error:  "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.28-13-generic; make sure that the version is being
[20:37] <somePriest> correctly set by --iscurrentdistro"?
[20:37] <somePriest> I have the kernel sources and header files for my kernel.
[20:38] <somePriest> I've been Googling the error for the last two hours, with several leads, and no solutions.
[20:38] <losher> somePriest: what were you doing. Compiling a kernel?
[20:39] <somePriest> losher, Trying to install ATI's proprietary video drivers (the default drivers for my Radeon X850xt are horribly slow at 2D rendering)
[20:39] <DWonderly> Question, has anyone in here used smartcards with Linux and what software would I need to get
[20:39] <DWonderly> ?
[20:39] <harry__> how do i install wine im useing xubuntu9.40??
[20:40] <tech2> Tbstewa: wmv play fine no need to convert. double click on one and you'll see the results
[20:40] <Lynx-O> anyone here know how i can watch my movies on my ps3 or my 360?
[20:40] <somePriest> losher, ...?
[20:40] <Tbstewa> thanks tech2
[20:40] <losher> somePriest: dunno, I'm googling it...
[20:41] <tckb> does anybody know send a notification using bash script
[20:41] <somePriest> losher, I did too, found lots of suggestions, non worked.
[20:41] <losher> somePriest: isn't it fabulous when that happens?
[20:41] <tech2> Tbstewa:yw
[20:41] <somePriest> losher, Yes, just f*ing wonderful  :)
[20:41] <legend2440> Lynx-O: maybe someone in channel  #ubuntu-ps3     knows
[20:42] <sebsebseb> !language |  somePriest
[20:42] <moustafaza> In the top bar of the gnome, at the right their is my name when I click on it I can choose to logout, lockscreen, change my pidgin status, etc... Their is a problem in the order of these choices, they're mixed up. Does anyone know if their is the configuration of it I can edit it in a file or something to fix it?
[20:42] <somePriest> sebastien, Language?  I don't recall swearing.
[20:42] <sebsebseb> somePriest: you just did
[20:42] <losher> somePriest: so where is the message coming from? The makefile? A #include? Can you find it?
[20:42] <somePriest> sebastien, How was that any more swearing than saying "The F word"
[20:42] <fwaokda> Flannel, I tried (hd3,0) and it said "Loading Stage2" you know what that's all about... it never went into windows just stayed there
[20:43] <losher> somePriest: we are strict about g-rated language on this channel...
[20:43] <sebsebseb> somePriest: it still counts as swearing what you just did
[20:43] <somePriest> losher, They provide a *.run script.  So I run it, and its the output.
[20:43] <somePriest> losher, At least its the end of the output, after messages about uncompressing it.
[20:43] <losher> somePriest: I thought you said you were a developer. Find the test that causes the message, and see what it's checking for....
[20:44] <JohnTeddy> somePriest / arand , does ifconfig tell the gateway and dns? How can I have ifconfig just print the ip, then just print the gateway, then just print the dns?
[20:44] <somePriest> losher, It seems that default_policy.sh is returning a value that doesn't match uname -a at a guess, that doesn't really tell me the proper fix though.
[20:45] <somePriest> JohnTeddy, A nasty string of `cut`?
[20:45] <JohnTeddy> somePriest: I don't see where ifconfig tells me the gateway or dns anywhere.
[20:46] <Lynx-O> legend2440: I'M ON MY PC I WANT TO watch them on my ps3 via network
[20:46] <th0r> JohnTeddy: the gateway is in 'route' and the dns is in resolv.conf
[20:46] <losher> somePriest: but it does give me some ideas for a couple of workarounds. a) comment out the test & maybe you'll be lucky and the version mismatch won't matter or b) find the kernel version that matches and install it
[20:47] <losher> JohnTeddy: gateway comes from 'netstart -rn'. dns is in /etc/resolv.conf. No doubt there's a gui command which shows it all, but I don't know it.
[20:47] <legend2440> Lynx-O: ok i understand. if no one here knows the answer to your question maybe someone in channel  #ubuntu-ps3     knows
[20:47] <losher> JohnTeddy: typo: netstart -> netstat
[20:47] <hinto> hi guys
[20:48] <hinto> so I've been digging Karmic Koala (alpha2) on my core 2 quad for a few weeks
[20:48] <somePriest> losher : I'm not even sure where it calls default_policy.sh from, its not found within the *.run shell script (the script provides the binary drivers within the script itself, so its only a single file download).
[20:48] <andrei> Privet vsem
[20:49] <hinto> If I want to go to Alpha 3, is that done through the update manager?
[20:49] <arand> hinto: > #ubuntu+1
[20:49] <hinto> I don't want to hose my working system
[20:50] <sploutchy> prépare-toi
[20:50] <somePriest> losher, Wait, forget that, display_policy.sh is embeded in the file and created when it extracts itself.
[20:50] <eyotechnologi> hello
[20:50] <losher> !ru | andrei
[20:51] <losher> somePriest: can you find what it compares itself to?
[20:51] <blackvd> bah xchat froze, ok ill ask again ...anyone get sound working on a compaq presario cq50?
[20:52] <tokam> hi how to create a .img file from an .iso source?
[20:52] <tokam> I need the amd64bit ubuntu disk as .img
[20:52] <hinto> i'm hesitant to update, since I don't see the kernel there
[20:53] <hinto> just wondering if I'm missing a setting
[20:53] <fwaokda> I installed windows7 on 80gb drive, then swapped the boot options in bios to load the 400gb drive first and installed ubuntu, then edited the grub to point to the windows7 drive. But it now hangs at a message saying, "loading stage 2... " when trying to boot into windows 7. Can anyone help me with this???
[20:53] <arand> !karmic > hinto
[20:53] <losher> tokam: what do you plan to do with .img file. Burn it with something?
[20:54] <DWonderly> fwaokda: don't boot to windows
[20:54] <fwaokda> DWonderly, no helpful or particularly funny/witty.
[20:54] <fwaokda> *not
[20:55] <DWonderly> fwaokda what do you have the windows7 drive partitioned as?
[20:55] <losher> fwaokda: you have a mistake in your grub file. Check the syntax and the disk identifiers...
[20:55] <tokam> I am working atm with a 32bit ubuntu live disk. I need a 64bit ubuntu livedisk runnig to install my 64bit gentoo from working with ubuntu. But i have only one disk device here, so i am not able to burn a cd while working on the livedisk. My plan is to create a .img file which i can write to a usb stick with dd
[20:55] <rich_> I noticed the mirrors.kernel.org has only amd64 versions of the ubuntu 9.04 server iso.  Are there _x64 versions of ubuntu 9.04 server isos somewhere?
[20:55] <rich_> http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/jaunty/
[20:56] <arand> tokam: you can just use the usb-creator, or unetbootin from the livecd.
[20:56] <erUSUL> rich_: amd64 == x86_64
[20:56] <fwaokda> losher, Here is my grub - http://pastebin.com/m52ba311f -- I was told by Flannel that it should be (hd3,0)
[20:57] <fwaokda> DWonderly, what do you mean? It's on it's own disk 400gb - it's the only thing on there AFAIK
[20:57] <rich_> erUSUL, oh.  thx.  that seems a strange way of naming things.  But thanks!
[20:57] <tokam> can you discribe it a bit better perhaps? arand? Which of boths ways would you go?
[20:58] <fwaokda> DWonderly, sorry not 400gb disk but 80gb disk
[20:58] <losher> fwaokda: which disk is windows on? Can you paste output from 'sudo fdisk -l' ?
[20:58] <fwaokda> DWonderly, 400gb is my ubuntu disk
[20:58] <erUSUL> rich_: not strange at all given that was AMD who *designed* and first implemented the x86_64 extensions to ia32
[20:58] <DWonderly> fwaokda right... fat? fat32? NTFS? something else?
[20:58] <erUSUL> rich_: i call that give credit where credit is due ;P
[20:59] <tokam> I have 2gb ram is there a way to be able to eject the live disc?
[20:59] <ikonia> tokam: no
[20:59] <fwaokda> losher, DWonderly - ahh found my problem, i think. I told Flannel the wrong drive... the windows 7 drive is /dev/sda2
[20:59] <tokam> So what to do now?
[20:59] <fwaokda> losher, DWonderly - here is the fdisk output
[20:59] <ikonia> tokam: what do you mean, what now ?
[21:00] <rich_> erUSUL - didn't know that! :)
[21:00] <fwaokda> losher, DWonderly - http://pastebin.com/m6fc5dc73 -- So what is /dev/sda2 in translation to (hdA,B) ?
[21:00] <tokam> the usb creator is still installed how to use it now, i want to write a bootable image to a 2gb sd card is this possible?
[21:01] <arand> tokam: usb-creator comes with ubuntu per default: Boot the livecd, go to (menu)system>administartion>USB startup disk creator, select the iso you want to stick on the usb ('other' button) and it should be ready to boot (make sure your bios can boot from usb when you try running it)
[21:01] <somePriest> losher, heh, default_policy.sh auto returns an error when you pass it the --printpolicy argument which is in fact being passed to it.
[21:01] <ikonia> tokam: sd card should be seen as a USB device, assuming your machine can boot from an SD card
[21:01] <losher> somePriest: can you just comment that section out....?
[21:02] <artillerytx> If i wanted to get a driver off of dells website and use it for ubuntu how would i do that ?
[21:02] <tokam> hope so but how to use your usb creator? by shell or by gui?
[21:02] <losher> fwaokda: what's on /dev/sda1 btw?
[21:02] <divokz> I'm really surprised I can't find this on the web: how do I assign applications to specific workspaces?  (i.e. I always want Firefox to be in workspace 1, etc a la OS X Leopard)
[21:02] <ikonia> tokam: normally a gui
[21:02] <Kalmi> artillerytx, that's not the prefered method
[21:02] <tokam> where to find it
[21:03] <colloguy> divokz: system prefs -> expose and spaces
[21:03] <artillerytx> Kalmi: well i can't find the drivers for my NIC and i've tried everything
[21:03] <fwaokda> losher, not quite sure but I believe windows 7 installed it there during installation and it's label "SYSTEM" (if I remember correctly)
[21:03] <Kalmi> artillerytx, can you pastebin the output of the dmesg command?
[21:03] <divokz> colloguy: I know how to do it in OS X -- I want the same type of behavior in GNOME/Ubuntu
[21:03] <ikonia> tokam: on the menu as you've been told
[21:03] <artillerytx> Kalmi: i have to type it all out
[21:03] <ikonia> divokz: join an apple support channel
[21:03] <colloguy> oh heh I forgot I'm in the wrong channel
[21:03] <colloguy> wait now I'm confused
[21:03] <tokam> ahh ok sorry!
[21:04] <Kalmi> artillerytx, oh... :) pendrive?
[21:04] <colloguy> yeah, I'm in the wrong channel :P
[21:04] <DWonderly> fwaokda you installed windows after Linux or vice versa?
[21:04] <losher> fwaokda: sounds like you need to research that a bit more. Meanwhile, no harm trying to boot from /dev/sda2 as hd(0,1)
[21:04] <artillerytx> Kalmi: alright just a second
[21:04] <bamp> Are there more detailed power options that can be tweaked in Jaunty?  I've already gone through the "power options" GUI, but I'd like to tweak them a bit more if possible.
[21:04] <fwaokda> losher, k thanks
[21:04] <divokz> ikonia: I know how to do it in OS X -- I want the same type of behavior in GNOME/Ubuntu (repeat of before)
[21:04] <fwaokda> DWonderly, Windows then linux
[21:04] <fwaokda> DWonderly, and they're on seperate drives
[21:04] <ikonia> divokz: oh, I see, my apologies
[21:05] <divokz> ikonia: np
[21:05] <dads> why is it that when I start my computer again, I have multiple choices in the boot menu... They seem to grow lime rabbits??
[21:05] <ikonia> dads: multiple kernels
[21:05] <dads> how can I control them
[21:05] <fwaokda> DWonderly, losher - going to restart and try booting from hd(0,1)
[21:05] <BellinXFelon> i am trying to play streaming video in konqueror and have no sound, what can i do
[21:05] <ikonia> dads: what do you mean control them ?
[21:05] <somePriest> losher, Hrm, hard to say, lots of inter-related tests.  This script is called by another script.  And values they assign end up with an empty string.  This is disgusting.
[21:05] <losher> fwaokda: fingers crossed
[21:05] <DWonderly> fwaokda what do you use for boot options? Grub? or to you change the bios?
[21:05] <fwaokda> losher in the grub is that written "hd(0,1)" OR "(hd0,1)" ?
[21:06] <dads> I have a fresh format and install of only one 9.04,  why then are there more than one kernel
[21:06] <losher> somePriest: all it takes is one lazy, bad programmer
[21:06] <tokam> i reformated the usb stick with fdisk, how to force ubuntu to reload all informations about the device again?
[21:06] <ikonia> dads: what do the options say
[21:06] <Kalmi> artillerytx, also check whether you can see your NIC in the output of lspci
[21:06] <ikonia> tokam: unplug it and re-plug it back in
[21:06] <fwaokda> DWonderly, after I installed Windows then I installed Ubuntu, but to get it to boot to the Grub, I swapped to the 400gb disk to boot first in the bios
[21:06] <dads> one is mem one is generic one is....
[21:06] <losher> fwaokda: root (hd0,0)   <--- note the space before the left parenthesis
[21:07] <ikonia> dads: one is a memtest program for testing memory, one is ubuntu, the other is ubuntu "safe" mode incase you have any problems
[21:07] <fwaokda> so the entire line should read... "rootnoverify     (hd0,0)" ?
[21:07] <CopyWriter> all this penguine emphesis leads me to wonder, do penguines have knees?
[21:07] <fwaokda> losher, so the entire line should read... "rootnoverify     (hd0,0)" ?
[21:07] <dads> is there a way to remove the ones I dont use.. such as the mem?
[21:07] <ikonia> CopyWriter: not ontopic for this channel, thanks.
[21:07] <DWonderly> fwaokda losher correct me if im wrong but didn't Vista have problems booting to a non primary drive in bios? if so then would that programming change over to Win7?
[21:07] <fwaokda> losher, well 0,1 I mean
[21:07] <ikonia> dads: just ignore them if you don't need them
[21:07] <losher> fwaokda: yes. If you google, you'll see lots of examples...
[21:07] <somePriest> losher, You think it'd be tested though.
[21:07] <bamp> I'm trying to reduce disk usage in order to save battery life -- I'm considering reducing swappiness (I have 4 gigs of system memory) ... is this a good idea?
[21:07] <fwaokda> losher, k thanks
[21:08] <CopyWriter> yes, sorry i know i was just thinking out loud
[21:08] <fwaokda> DWonderly, ok well if it doesn't work I'll come back and explore that option BRB
[21:08] <ikonia> bamp: removing swap is ok, but reducing space won't save battery power
[21:08] <znik> how do i make my  chat  text  bold in google talk?
[21:08] <losher> DWonderly: sda1 and sda2 *are* primary I believe, from the fdisk output....
[21:09] <dads> well. it is hard to ignor them... I have a laptop with about 9 or so different choices coming up and I started with only 1
[21:09] <xShadowx> Can anyone help me with ms-sys? I need to fix my mbr and I had to use Ubuntu's liveCD to boot up. I recently uninstalled kubuntu and I have Grub error 17.
[21:09] <DWonderly> losher in linux yes... but I know that Vista read primary from bios
[21:10] <artillerytx> Argyanc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/231408/
[21:10] <DWonderly> losher what would explain  that it started to boot then got hung up during the boot.
[21:10] <bamp> ikonia:  I was talking about the swappiness option, not actually reducing swap space
[21:10] <ikonia> bamp: I've never heard of the swappiness option
[21:10] <dads> Im sure when a new kernel comes out, Ill have too many choices on my fresh desktop too/.
[21:10] <wellbourne> xShadowx = try Super Grub Disk it can fix grub automatically
[21:10] <losher> DWonderly: depends exactly where it hangs....
[21:11] <arand> xShadowx: so you are trying to get back ntldr, and yes, subergrubdisk is good for that job
[21:11] <wellbourne> its a live cd boot from it and follow the walkthrough
[21:11] <xShadowx> Well actually, I dual booted vista and kubuntu and I uninstalled kubuntu and I can't boot in to vista now. Will Super Grub fix that?
[21:11] <losher> somePriest: yeah, that's why there are never any bugs --- because every programmer is brilliant and testers never miss anything....
[21:11] <artillerytx> Argyanc: What you looking for in there ?
[21:11] <DWonderly> losher he said "loading stage 2" I've never used or looked into Win7 so I don't know what each stage loads
[21:12] <Argyanc> artillerytx, err... sorry about the name change... I didn't think it through :) Have you checked whether you can see your NIC in the output of lspc?
[21:12] <bamp> ikonia:  oh... you add the linke "vm.swappiness=[number]" to sysctl.conf.  From what i gather, it controls how readily memory gets written to the swap partition
[21:12] <wellbourne> xShadowx, yes it will fix dual boots
[21:12] <bamp> *line
[21:12] <PROject-Emerald> Uh
[21:12] <PROject-Emerald> I updated to 9.10 alpha and now I have no sound ;_;
[21:12] <xShadowx> Okay, thank you.
[21:12] <somePriest> losher, It seems a fairly large bug when the installer bails immediately after extracting the files though.
[21:12] <artillerytx> yeah i can show you what it says just a second
[21:12] <ikonia> bamp: just remove the swap partition then, but I don't think that will make a difference as your disk will still be spinning if you write to swap or not
[21:12] <losher> DWonderly: stage2 is a grub thing. I'm not sure if it runs when windows boots....
[21:13] <losher> somePriest: I used to work for a networking company & we used to ship boxes that didn't even ping...
[21:13] <DWonderly> losher got ya... we'll see when he gets back I guess
[21:13] <somePriest> heh
[21:13] <meatyboy> howdy
[21:14] <toothburush> can someone help me? im not getting and sound out of my speakers
[21:14] <artillerytx> Argyanc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/231421/
[21:14] <bamp> ikonia:  okay. I have two dumb questions though... can I still hibernate without a swap partiton? and my system is running an encrypted lvm (everything except /boot is encrypted) ... can I still remove the swap partition?
[21:14] <Argyanc> artillerytx... well... anything releated to your NIC.... but there is nothing in there...
[21:15] <Argyanc> artillerytx... WTH? :D
[21:15] <Argyanc> artillerytx, do you have multiple NICs?
[21:15] <artillerytx> Argyanc: The NIC is working cause i have a green and orange light but the os just doesn't see it
[21:15] <artillerytx> Argyanc: yeah
[21:15] <artillerytx> Argyanc: its a server
[21:15] <toothburush> can someone help me? im not getting and sound out of my speakers
[21:15] <ikonia> bamp: you can't hibernate without swap, so I guess that makes your other question nont needed
[21:15] <meatyboy> I got a question, I'm having problems connecting to a hidden wireless network on ubuntu and quite frankly it's getting frustrating.
[21:16] <BellinXFelon> in rhythmbox, it wont read a cd when i put it in, the column on the left will not show the cds
[21:16] <bamp> ikonia:  okay thanks!
[21:17]  * losher is off to the gym
[21:19] <vik> can anybody tell me how can i encrypt a partition without moving (or loosing) the data from it?
[21:19] <mnavrot_> quit
[21:19] <ajsharp> I'm having a very odd problem: I just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and now I don't have any top bars on any of my windows (the bar that has the minimize, maximize and close buttons). Has anyone ever dealt with this before?
[21:20] <jrib> ajsharp: try turning off effects
[21:20] <ajsharp> jrib: solved it. thank you.
[21:21] <tokam> ubuntu is funny it has games on its livedisk :D
[21:21] <jrib> ajsharp: are you going to continue to upgrade to 9.04?
[21:21] <Clooluss> i got dvd playback problems. I have all the medibuntu stuff installed and can watch old dvds fine, but newer dvds just won't mount.
[21:21] <meatyboy> so anyone have any ideas why when I put in the information for the hidden wireless network it still prompts me for a password over and over again?
[21:21] <tckb> anybody done remastering of ubuntu
[21:21]  * somePriest grumbles
[21:22] <ajsharp> jrib: no; I read on a forum that the compatibility with ati radeon graphics cards is awful and I've already had a hell of a time getting it to work
[21:22] <ajsharp> So I'm just going to stick with what's working
[21:22] <somePriest> If I want *decent* non-laggy 2D rendering with an ATI Radeon card, what are my options?  The default drivers are uselessly slow.
[21:22] <Clooluss> meatyboy: i had something similar for a long time. Delete all the networks and start again.
[21:22] <jrib> ajsharp: ok.  I'm not sure how to fix the problem with your window decorations missing but #compiz might
[21:23] <ajsharp> jrib: I just had to turn off advanced effects, or whatever that third option is
[21:23] <meatyboy> I've tried that, even cleared out my restricted networks out, it's a completely clean slate, unless there something deeper down in ubuntu I didn't clean out
[21:23] <jrib> ajsharp: right, I mean if you want that on
[21:23] <Clooluss> meatyboy: Jaunty or older?
[21:23] <ajsharp> jrib: no it's not that important to me; I'm a programmer so I don't really need it for heavy graphics stuff
[21:24] <meatyboy> 9.04
[21:24] <meatyboy> downloaded about a week ago, installed today
[21:24] <syntax> you like it linux meat?
[21:25] <meatyboy> well, still trying to get in the groove of it :)
[21:25] <Clooluss> hmm. Don't know then. I know the problem is better if you don't keep going to "connect to hidden wirelss ntwk". Just keep selecting the network from the list
[21:25] <syntax> thats good..way better then windows
[21:25] <safruhani> hi, alltray keyboard shortcut freak out, anybody know how to arrange?
[21:25] <meatyboy> gets a lil tedius punching in the same password over and over again in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, it might connect'
[21:26] <dirag03> youtube doe not play in firefox im new ubunto
[21:26] <dirag03> youtube does not play in firefox im new ubunto
[21:26] <Clooluss> meatyboy: Yeah, it was like that for me until I got jaunty. Now I have to reconnect regularly, but don't have to enter my password any more.
[21:26] <Clooluss> dirag03: Have you  installed Java?
[21:26] <simondaking> install adobe flash?
[21:27] <fwaokda> losher, I got it working... turns out that the SYSTEM partition that was located at the beginning of the 80gb disk was part of what it takes for win7 to boot I guess. So once I changed the location to (hd1,0) it booted into windows7 :)
[21:27] <Clooluss> idrag03: Sorry, I mean flash.
[21:27] <dirag03> no it ask for lib but i cant
[21:28] <dirag03> flash need file lib
[21:28] <loois> my terminator profile changes don't save. Anyone know what could cause this?
[21:28] <meatyboy> well, I'm gonna boot back over to ubuntu and hope I get some kinda connection
[21:28] <Clooluss> dirag03: How have you tried to install it from firefox?
[21:28] <fwaokda> so thanks losher, DWonderly
[21:28] <vigge> dirag03: go to synaptic package manager in system -> administration, and install flash
[21:28] <vigge> just search for flashplugin
[21:28] <DWonderly> fwaokda did it all work?
[21:29] <dirag03> thanx i  will try it now
[21:29] <bamp> are there any power-saving options beyond what's in "power management" in Jaunty?
[21:29] <fwaokda> DWonderly, had to change the option to (hd1,0) which was the small partition labeled "SYSTEM" that windows7 installed on the drive during installation but after that it worked ;)
[21:30] <DWonderly> fwaokda great! glad it wasnt' what I thought lol
[21:30] <fwaokda> DWonderly, ya that wouldn't have been good haha
[21:30] <Argyanc> bamp, what are you looking for?
[21:31] <toothbrush> does anyone here know how to get gimmie running in jaunty jackelope?
[21:31] <bcmorr2> Anyone able to help troubleshoot alsa?
[21:31] <edbian> toothbrush: Did try just installing the package?
[21:31] <DWonderly> fwaokda sorry for my joke earlier... glad we could help
[21:31] <toothbrush> edbian, that package is not available in synaptic i dont think
[21:32] <toothbrush> edbian: i dont see it in synaptic
[21:32] <tckb> anybody der to help me out
[21:32] <bamp> Argyanc:  just about anything.  I hate to draw comparisons with windows, but in win7, for example, you have access to a whole slew of power options including passive cooling, usb selective suspend, cpu scaling, etc...  I was just wondering if there were apps for ubuntu that could achieve similar results
[21:32] <MaskedDriver> toothbrush, www.adobe.com
[21:33] <MaskedDriver> toothbrush, download the one for Linux x32 or x64 depending on your OS... then follow the directions on the Adobe site to install
[21:33] <JoneBart> hi
[21:33] <edbian> toothbrush: That is very surprising.  I am running debian lenny and I do have the package.  Take a look at your software sources.  Tell me what you have enabled.  Do you know what I'm talking about??
[21:33] <edbian> MaskedDriver: IS gimmie not in the repos?
[21:33] <toothbrush> edbian, yes, i know what you are talking about, where do i paste it?
[21:33] <MaskedDriver> edbian, the good one from Adobe isn't in the repos
[21:33] <JoneBart> I have problem with the graphic driver. the screen resolution is stuck at 800x600
[21:34] <MaskedDriver> oh crap... wrong convo my bad
[21:34] <edbian> MaskedDriver: Are you talking about flash with somebody else? :)
[21:34] <MaskedDriver> toothbrush, edbian ignore me
[21:34] <MaskedDriver> edbian, fact
[21:34] <edbian> MaskedDriver: will do lol
[21:34] <edbian> toothbrush: You can pastebin it or just tell me.
[21:35] <DWonderly> anyone used a smartcard in linux in here?
[21:35] <toothbrush> edbian im sorry, where is the sources.luist file again?
[21:35] <flobbie> hi, can anybody help me with my soundproblem? I have installed alsa .20, but alsaconf do not find my soundcard
[21:35] <loois> toothbrush: /etc/apt/source...
[21:35] <edbian> toothbrush: I don't know.  /etc?  Just use the GUI (System -> Admin -> Software Sources)
[21:35] <Clooluss> bamp:  I think Karmic will have a lot more power options. Only a few months away....
[21:36] <bamp> Clooluss:  haha I suppose I can wait until october.  Anything I can check out in the meantime?
[21:36] <bamp> Clooluss:  also, thanks!
[21:36] <Vilar> Please how to conect by wireless at jaunty?
[21:37] <edbian> !gimmie
[21:37] <edbian> !gimmie ppa
[21:37] <edbian> !ppa
[21:37] <Clooluss> Bamp; Karmic is avaialable for download now, but it's an early pre-release experimental version.
[21:37] <arif> hi all, really really impressed with xubuntu, here :D
[21:37] <siliton> hello, quick question... I'm trying to install lighttpd on Ubuntu 9.04. I'm currently doing the ./configure  and i'm getting an error "configure: error: bzip2-headers and/or libs where not found, install them or build with --without-bzip2", so I ran apt-get install bzip2, still receiving the same error though
[21:38] <Clooluss> i got dvd playback problems. I have all the medibuntu libdvd* stuff installed and can watch old dvds fine, but newer dvds just won't mount.
[21:38] <bamp> Clooluss:  eeh... I'm weary of alphas...
[21:38] <loois> siliton, did you install the headers too?
[21:39] <loois> siliton: or do ./configure --without-bzip2
[21:39] <siliton> er no I don't believe so (it's been a long day and I'm a very large linux noob)
[21:40] <edbian> toothbrush: You were right.  Gimmie is not in the repos.  http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gimmie&searchon=names&suite=jaunty&section=all
[21:40] <liquidplay> Hi all... I'm running 9.04 and have terrible video performance... so today I downloaded Karmic alpha 3 and played around a bit... to put it short, I'm really impressed with video performance, in fact, so much that I'm thinking about upgrading. Is anybody aware of any major issues with alpha 3?
[21:41] <Argyanc> bamp, I didn't know passive coolings had settings :) ... Cpu scaling is on by default (never worked for me)... USB selective suspend was considered experimental a few months ago... I dont know what its current state is.
[21:41] <edbian> toothbrush: I did however find this as well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gimmie
[21:41] <loois> liquidplay: using intel gfx?
[21:41] <liquidplay> yup
[21:41] <Sj4lut> !printers
[21:41] <edbian> toothbrush: So IDK
[21:41] <loois> liquidplay: instead of using karmic, i suggest getting the "Ubuntu kernel ppa" and installing kernel 2.6.31rc4
[21:42] <bamp> Argyanc:  haha I guess i'll keep on googling while I wait for karmic.  I've been through worse =)
[21:42] <liquidplay> loois: I'm currently using xorg xperimental from PPA's but that didn't help...
[21:42] <Argyanc> bamp, try powertop
[21:42] <arif> if you install a .deb (outside of Synaptic or Add/Remove) will Synaptic Package Manager know about it, and update its display of installed software?
[21:43] <ali1234> how do i make java web applets use pulse audio?
[21:43] <loois> liquidplay: to get the performance you need to 1) get latest kernel, 2) intel ppa drivers, 3) set UXA on
[21:43] <edbian> arif: If it is a .deb the package manager will no about it but it will not be updated by the package manager
[21:43] <bamp> Argyanc:  already have =)
[21:43] <loois> liquidplay: you'll get karmics performance in jaunty for intel
[21:43] <siliton> loois: that worked no more erros at this point, thanks (I was just hesitant to go forward with excluding parts of it when I didn't know if they were important)
[21:43] <MaskedDriver> arif, yes
[21:43] <siliton> errors*
[21:43] <vik> can anybody tell me how can i encrypt a partition without moving (or loosing) the data from it?
[21:43] <arif> thanks edbian, maskeddriver.
[21:43] <edbian> arif: No problem
[21:44] <loois> siliton: np, if it fails at some point you can always go back and reinstall with the libs
[21:44] <liquidplay> loois: thanks!
[21:44] <MaskedDriver> arif, ain't no thing
[21:44] <loois> liquidplay: np
[21:44] <MaskedDriver> arif, but like edbian said apt-get update/upgrade won't keep it up to date
[21:44] <soapbox> Hey when I attempt to SCP or FTP into a specific folder on my server it's telling me "no such file or directory"
[21:44] <Argyanc> vik, I don't think you can... (even if you can, it's probably an unsafe process...)
[21:44] <MaskedDriver> arif, you'll have to manually upgrade it
[21:44] <soapbox> even though very clearly both the file and the directory exist
[21:45] <soapbox> i can upload to the folder's immediate parent directory no problem btw
[21:45] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, permissions problem?
[21:45] <soapbox> That's what I'm guessing but I have no idea how to change it
[21:45] <soapbox> The FTP user is the main user and in ssh I'm logged as root
[21:46] <arif> okay, I'm gonna go do some FAQ reading! thanks for the help. xubuntu is an amazing peice of work!
[21:46] <Argyanc> soapbox, maybe you don't have permission to list the content of the directory... (x flag)
[21:46] <arif> *ubuntu, i mean :)
[21:46] <soapbox> If I can use the ls command
[21:46] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, it's probably because the folder is owned by root
[21:46] <soapbox> and list the items in the directory that way that means I do have permission right?
[21:46] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, in ssh, go to that folder and do a ls -la and see who the owner is
 soapbox, it's probably because the folder is owned by root
[21:47] <soapbox> What kind of problems can it cause when the folder is owned by root and you are logged in as root?
[21:47] <soapbox> Do I need to disassociate it with root somehow
[21:47] <soapbox> ?
[21:47] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, you FTP in as your username... you ssh as root (which is highly unrecommended)... if your folder is owned by root you can't play around with it
[21:48] <MaskedDriver> so in ssh go to the parent folder and do ls -la
[21:48] <Argyanc> soapbox, root can do anything without any security restrictions...
[21:48] <soapbox> alright masked
[21:48] <MaskedDriver> if it says root root it's owned by root
[21:48] <Sj4lut> !build
[21:48] <MaskedDriver> then do a sudo chown username thatfolder
[21:48] <Argyanc> soapbox, what username did you use for ftp?
[21:48] <moustafaza> In the top bar of the gnome, at the right their is my name when I click on it I can choose to logout, lockscreen, change my pidgin status, etc... Their is a problem in the order of these choices, they're mixed up. Does anyone know if their is the configuration of it I can edit it in a file or something to fix it?
[21:48] <soapbox> root:# ls -la
[21:48] <soapbox> total 132
[21:49] <soapbox> and then it lists 132 different permissions settings
[21:49] <soapbox> oh
[21:49] <MaskedDriver> 132?
[21:49] <soapbox> you're right maskeddriver
[21:49] <soapbox> it's root
[21:49] <soapbox> drwxr-xr-x  4 root    root    4096 Jul 24 12:41 image_script_pics
[21:49] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, ofc I'm right ;)
[21:49] <soapbox> lol
[21:49] <soapbox> Of course!
[21:49] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, sudo chown username:username image_script_pics
[21:50] <loois> liquidplay: btw, if you are going to use xorg-edgers ppa for intel, use the 2.6.31rc3 kernel NOT rc4. rc4 will cause a blank screen (maybe)
[21:50] <soapbox> can you explain that command I don
[21:50] <soapbox> t understand username:username
[21:50] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, the username you ftp into
[21:50] <MaskedDriver> lets say my username is bob
[21:51] <MaskedDriver> and I want bob to own that folder
[21:51] <toothbrush> hi bob.
[21:51] <MaskedDriver> sudo chown bob:bob image_script_pic
[21:51] <soapbox> Ah
[21:51] <Praxeas> I have a problem with my video card, is anyone familiar with this type of thing?
[21:51] <soapbox> thank you sir
[21:51] <Argyanc> !ask | Praxeas
[21:51] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, the first bob is the user, the second bob is the group
[21:51] <Clooluss> paxeas: what sort of prob?
[21:51] <soapbox> so you're basically telling me how to give my ftp user permission
[21:51] <l3dx> and what sort of card
[21:51] <soapbox> that's perfect btw
[21:51] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, exactly
[21:52] <MaskedDriver> chown = change owner
[21:52] <Praxeas> When I go to the hardware drivers, I don't see any drivers for my video card and I am not sure where to go to find a hardware profile (for lack of a better word)
[21:52] <soapbox> I don't need to sudo though right
[21:52] <soapbox> since I am logged in as root
[21:52] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, no, you can skip sudo... but you should never log in as root... nasty things can happen
[21:53] <soapbox> they just HAPPEN?
[21:53] <Clooluss> praxeas: hardware and drivers are usually pretty transparent in ubuntu. what card is it?
[21:53] <joey_> i am from Australia and am trying to watch tv through xine and i can seem to get the scan command right to generate a channels.conf  What is the correct command
[21:53] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, you can accidentally run a command that will screw up your whole system
[21:53] <soapbox> fair enough
[21:53] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, sudo is the appropriate way to accomplish root commands
[21:54] <Praxeas> its an old laptop.  I want to say I have a nvidea
[21:54] <soapbox> On the live server we don't log in as root
[21:54] <Clooluss> prax: nvidia is well supported, but most of the drivers are closed source. That's not a big deal for most people though
[21:54] <soapbox> this is a backup server and has (basically) nothing on it. You're right though I should have better good practices
[21:54]  * MaskedDriver runs as root on my personal machine too
[21:54] <dayo> soapbox: MaskedDriver: i once accidentally deleted half my users' home directories from the fileserver
[21:54] <soapbox> rofl oh god i'd be so pissed
[21:54] <MaskedDriver> dayo, +1 exactly
[21:55] <soapbox> ya I'll change it
[21:55] <Clooluss> prax: Look at the right of your top panel. Is there a little hardware icon there, near the netowrk icon?
[21:55] <dayo> soapbox: MaskedDriver: lucky for me, i have a backup server lol
[21:55] <MaskedDriver> dayo, very lucky
[21:55] <Praxeas> just my battery indication
[21:55] <om26er> each time I restart my netbook wifi don't work and I have to modprobe ath5k
[21:56] <dayo> MaskedDriver: yep
[21:56] <soapbox> Backup servers save lives
[21:56] <th0r> om26er: add ath5k to /etc/modules
[21:56] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, most usually your own
[21:56] <soapbox> yep
[21:56] <soapbox> alright permissions are changed here is the moment of truth!
[21:57] <soapbox> Worked instantly
[21:57] <soapbox> thank you MaskedDriver
[21:57] <Clooluss> prax: in synaptic package manager, install the nvidia settings tool. it should  find your hardware and driver for you.
[21:57] <Mx60> Hi, hmm, i have some troubles.
[21:57] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, my pleasure
[21:57] <Mx60> I have a dedicated server which is running Ubuntu server
[21:57] <Praxeas> ok thanks
[21:57] <Mx60> And I would like to install gnome + a vnc server
[21:58] <Mx60> So, I think that gnome is running well, cause startx seems to run fine
[21:58] <Praxeas> new to ubuntu so I imagine I'll be spending a lot of time here :)
[21:58] <Mx60> But I don't know how I can have my vnc server working correctly
[21:58] <MaskedDriver> soapbox, is this a web server?  because if you plan on having apache right to the server the group should be whatever group is set up for apache
[21:58] <paragon> Synaptic Package Manager, sometimes the newly installed program does not show up in the Main Menu under any of the fields.  I have attempted to add the program through the "Main Menu" Preferences functionality, but it is not listed there either.  If the file "shortcut" is not automatically created how do I create that and add it to the main menu?  I know that "New Item" should be selected, but from there I am lost.
[21:58] <MaskedDriver> apache upload right to the server*
[21:58] <th0r> Mx60: you might want to consider an alternative
[21:58] <Mx60> th0r > Which one ? :p
[21:59] <tech2> Praxeas: Google is your friend
[21:59] <th0r> Mx60: the purpose of the server is not to run the X environment, so why load it down with that task? Consider instead running something like xfce and using X forwarding via ssh....much faster and easier on system resources
[21:59] <om26er> th0r: I did it and it worked thanks
[22:00] <DWonderly> k, n00b question... if GTK+ isn't installed properly how to I fix that?
[22:00] <ikonia> DWonderly: why would gtk+ not be install properly, it's installed by default
[22:00] <Mx60> th0r > Hmm... I plan using wine too on my dedicated server
[22:00] <Mx60> th0r > To run some windows application in background
[22:00] <lstarnes> DWonderly: what is reporting that it isn't installed properly?
[22:00] <th0r> Mx60: you don't get the full desktop like vnc, but you still get all the advantages of the windowed environment
[22:00] <DWonderly> trying to ./configure a prog and it's crashing out for that reason
[22:00] <Clooluss> i got dvd playback problems. I have all the medibuntu libdvd* stuff installed and can watch old dvds fine, but newer dvds just won't mount.
[22:00] <ikonia> DWonderly: what are you trying to build
[22:00] <lstarnes> DWonderly: you need the -dev packages
[22:00] <Mx60> th0r > Enough to run wine and other applications like that ?
[22:01] <th0r> Mx60: you can still do that, no problem
[22:01] <DWonderly> lstarnes gtkcard0.1
[22:01] <xantam> hi
[22:01] <DWonderly> Do'H dev...
[22:01] <lstarnes> DWonderly: install the package libgtk2.0-dev
[22:01] <th0r> Mx60: it is probably a better way to go if you want to run wine...the less cpu and memory you use with vnc the more is available for wine and such
[22:01] <DWonderly> lstarnes thank you
[22:01] <xantam> i just created a new user with useradd -d $userdir$
[22:02] <xantam> but i can't use that user for ssh
[22:02] <DarkMx> sORRY i WAS DISCONECTED
[22:02] <th0r> Mx60: the purpose for vnc is to allow you to use/maintain the server in the X environment. You will still be able to do that my way, but you will do it on YOUR desktop instead of one shipped to you from the server
[22:02] <DarkMx> th0r > Well in fact
[22:02] <DarkMx> I have other reasons to use VNC
[22:02] <xantam> it asks me for the password but when i enter the right one i get: Permission denied, please try again.
[22:03] <DarkMx> I have a VNC client on my phone that allows me to connect to my server anywhere
[22:03] <DarkMx> But well I might install it later i'm gonna try to install xfce first
[22:03] <th0r> DarkMx: ok....it was just a thought
[22:03] <nexsja> hello ;>
[22:03] <nexsja> is there a way to turn my 64bit system to 32bit system? ))))
[22:04] <nexsja> into*
[22:04] <paragon> which 64bit platform Nex?
[22:04] <nexsja> Ubuntu 9.04
[22:04] <lstarnes> nexsja: install a 32-bit version of ubuntu
[22:04] <nexsja> i don't wanna delete everything on the system :<
[22:04] <fwaokda_> have they released info on the new features they're working on for 9.10 yet?
[22:05] <paragon> fwao, not that I have seen
[22:05] <Clooluss> fwaokda: google for karmic blueprints
[22:05] <fwaokda_> thanks
[22:05] <paragon> bah wrong twice
[22:05] <icenova> hi
[22:05] <MiraiWarren0_0> Anyone know if that 3d ubuntu logo used in the default gdm theme is around somewhere?
[22:06] <fwaokda_> anyone here using a Sansa Fuze with Ubuntu?
[22:07] <radostyle> my ubuntu froze a few minutes ago, how do I find out why it froze?
[22:09] <MiraiWarren0_0> radostyle: read log files
[22:09] <Clooluss> i got dvd playback problems. I have all the medibuntu libdvd* stuff installed and can watch old dvds fine, but newer dvds just won't mount.
[22:09] <radostyle> MiraiWarren0_0: which log files should I look at?
[22:09] <paragon> when I install something using Synaptic it does not always show up in the main menu, how do I add it?
[22:09] <t3Nk4> radostyle:  if it happens to me, first of all i go on next shell ( ctrl+alt+f2 ) and scroll all system logs on /var/log ... or i'll do a "top" command to see if there's a process that gots 100% of cpu time
[22:10] <th0r> paragon: add a .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications
[22:10] <koltroll> Hey guys. I've installed netbook remix and overall find it very neat. One question: Is it possible to change the size of the top panel?
[22:10] <Ziber> When I do apt-get source, where does it store the .tar.gz?
[22:10] <koltroll> I'd like to be a little bigger so the icons of the programs I have active gets bigger.
[22:10] <radostyle> t3Nk4: I'll try that next time(I've already rebooted), but I don't think even that would have worked
[22:10] <jrib> Ziber: current working directory
[22:11] <DarkMx> th0r > I'm back and uh :)
[22:11] <DarkMx> I just installed xcfe BUT
[22:11] <th0r> DarkMx: but?
[22:11] <DarkMx> I don't know how to use it without using vnc
[22:11] <DarkMx> I mean
[22:11] <DarkMx> What do you mean by "using the shell"
[22:11] <Clooluss> koltroll: yes. right click the pnel, properties, change the pixel size.
[22:11] <Ziber> jrib: Oh, would you look at that...
[22:12] <th0r> DarkMx: did I use that term?
[22:12] <DarkMx> Well that's what I remember but my IRC client crashed XD.
[22:12] <DarkMx> But you said without a vnc server
[22:13] <paragon> th0r: sadly enough...you've lost me
[22:13] <th0r> DarkMx: oh....I was talking about using X forwarding via ssh
[22:13] <DarkMx> X forwarding via ssh... Riiiight XD
[22:13] <koltroll> Clooluss, sorry the only option ive got is "show windows from all workspaces"
[22:13] <atomic007za> hi
[22:13] <DarkMx> Is it like port forwarding ?
[22:13] <DarkMx> Like ip tables etc.. ,
[22:13] <DarkMx> ?*
[22:14] <koltroll> Clooluss, what you are saying WAS true when I had normal ubuntu and a sidepanel, like a dock.
[22:14] <koltroll> that one I could to it with.
[22:14] <avig> irc.freenode.org
[22:14] <Clooluss> koltroll: what do you have now, if not a normal panel?
[22:14] <th0r> DarkMx: here it is in a nutshell....ssh is a secure telnet....it gives you a command prompt access to your server. You will use it to open a 'tunnel' to your server. Then when you run gedit for instance on your server...it will run on the server, load and save on the server, but will show up on your desktop as though it was on your computer
[22:14] <koltroll> Clooluss, no idea. The thingy that came with NBR :)
[22:14] <paragon> Example is cobex, installed in Synaptic, but in the Main Menu it does not show, and in the Main Menu edit program there is no option to add it aside from "New Item" but I'm not sure how to use them?
[22:15] <atomic007za> anybody got a decent typing program for ubuntu?
[22:15] <DarkMx> Hmm... So far I understand
[22:15] <DarkMx> But technically, what should I do on my server or on my personal computer
[22:15] <DarkMx> To do so ?
[22:15] <tokam1> hi i created a ubuntu live usb stick but it does not boot. the bootloader starts but it just prints boot: and for everything i type in the message "kernel image not found" appears
[22:15] <koltroll> Clooluss, ah it worked. was just a matter of finding the exact right place to right click at. thanks alot :)
[22:15] <th0r> DarkMx: first step, install openssh-server on the server. Second step, open a terminal on your computer and type 'ssh -X <serverIP>'
[22:15] <Sj4lut> !scanner
[22:16] <Clooluss> koltroll: great!
[22:16] <DarkMx> Uh... th0r...  Are you running gnome or xfce on the server?
[22:16] <DarkMx> I need a solution that can be used on both linux & windows
[22:16] <DarkMx> And right now I'm using putty on windows xp
[22:17] <th0r> DarkMx: nope...windows is another story....can be done but not nearly so easy
[22:17] <th0r> DarkMx: if you need windows stick with vnc
[22:17] <radostyle> tokam1: I"m not sure if this is the problem, but some usb sticks don't have the boot flag set, to set it you have to start up GParted and go to your usb stick and set the boot flag, you can at least check that
[22:17] <DarkMx> XD Okay so I think i'm gonna use vnc cause
[22:17] <th0r> DarkMx: but the logic for xfce still holds....will be much faster than gnome in vnc
[22:17] <DarkMx> Hmm...
[22:17] <DarkMx> And what about VNC in xfce
[22:17] <DarkMx> Is it possible ?
[22:17] <loois> anyone here use sonata audio player?
[22:17] <tokam1> Ok radostyle but i will use fdisk ok?
[22:18] <tokam1> But the stick still starts, but no kernel is loaded!
[22:18] <th0r> DarkMx: yup...xfce in vnc is the same as gnome in vnc
[22:18] <th0r> DarkMx: only should be faster and lightere
[22:18] <DarkMx> :3...
[22:18] <Sj4lut> !ocr
[22:18] <radostyle> tokam1: ya, that might not be you're problem, to create my stick I used unetbootin
[22:18] <DarkMx> th0r > Well, I know
[22:18] <loois> how do you get sonata to connect to the music library?!!?
[22:18] <flavio> does anyone knows something about Error5 - Input/Output devices during kubuntu installation?
[22:18] <radostyle> tokam1: did you use unetbootin to set up yours?
[22:19] <DarkMx> I'll enable the vnc server only when I need to connect from windows or my phone
[22:19] <tokam1> radostyle: I used the programm under system->systemadministration->...
[22:19] <tokam1> (german version)
[22:19] <th0r> DarkMx: yeah....good practice. Also consider moving vnc off the standard ports onto something odd.
[22:20] <tokam1>  /dev/sdd1   *           1<PHONE_NUMBER>    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA) That it is!
[22:20] <EmpedoxFCB> Hello Everyone, I am new to Ubuntu and so far I find it great.
[22:20] <epaphus> Hey guys, i noticed that as a normal ubuntu  user I can disable or enable the remote desktop.. is there anyway I can make it so that only root can disable those settings??
[22:20] <radostyle> tokam1: I've never used that one, although it seems obvious, you could try unetbootin, you just need the iso and unetbootin
[22:20] <DarkMx> th0r > Yup, thanks :) Hmm.. Sorry if I'm asking too much help but...
[22:20] <DarkMx> We're back to my first problem
[22:20] <tokam1> where to get unetbootbin?
[22:21] <Mx60> Disconnected once again
[22:21] <th0r> DarkMx: no problem. I did quite a bit of tinkering with vnc, X forrwarding and NX ... and the security involved with each
[22:21] <Mx60> =D Thanks
[22:21] <Mx60> I said, start x seems to run fine
[22:21] <paragon> taka: I think that Synaptic has it
[22:21] <Mx60> But vino says
[22:21] <Mx60> (vino-server:13434): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[22:21] <paragon> toka: verified, it is available in Synaptic
[22:22] <jhonny> I cant get my resolution over 800x600. I can edit the xorg but i dont know what to edit. Is there something I can copypaste or is it different from pc to pc?
[22:22] <tokam1> radostyle: where to get it, is it just installed on the livedisk?
[22:22] <th0r> Mx60: that's easy...how did you start vnc?
[22:22] <Mx60> from the shell
[22:22] <radostyle> tokam1: sudo aptitude install unetbootin
[22:22] <th0r> Mx60: what command?
[22:22] <Mx60> I did /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
[22:23] <th0r> Mx60: that I won't be able to help you with...I didn't use vino I used vnc4server
[22:23] <Mx60> Okay I'm gonna use vnc4server then :)
[22:24] <th0r> Mx60: start vnc4server with 'vnc4server :1'
[22:24] <th0r> Mx60: you can actually have several vnc
[22:24] <epaphus> Hey guys, i noticed that as a normal ubuntu  user I can disable or enable the remote desktop.. is there anyway I can make it so that only root can disable those settings??
[22:24] <mazda01_> th0r: is vnc4server any faster than x11vnc?
[22:24] <Mx60> The vnc server is now runing
[22:24] <Mx60> I'm gonna try to connect
[22:25] <th0r> Mx60: they are the same thing for all intents and purposes
[22:25] <liquidplay> loois: Hi, I've installed new kernel and performance is triplicated! (acording to glxgears), compiz is much smoother and fullscreen video is not choppy anymore... many thanks!
[22:25] <jrib> epaphus: check the admin guides at library.gnome.org maybe
[22:25] <th0r> Mx60: what command did you use to start the vncserver, and what are you using for vncviewer?
[22:25] <Mx60> th0r > I did vnc4server :1
[22:25] <Mx60> And I'm using Real VNC Viewer
[22:25] <Mx60> And right now I had a "Connection refused"
[22:26] <Mx60> I'm gonna check the log file
[22:26] <tokam1> ok
[22:26] <th0r> Mx60: ok, then you need to use vncviewer <serverIP>:5801
[22:26] <Mx60> X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
[22:26] <th0r> Mx60: or vncviewer <serverIP> :1 (with a space)
[22:26] <tokam1> thx radostyle. My goal is to get a 64bit ubuntu running now (I live in Marburg) to be able to set up my 64bit gentoo easiely
[22:26] <paragon> I installed Firefox 3.5 using Synaptic, but I cannot get access it.
[22:26] <paragon> How can I access it?
[22:27] <mazda01_> type in firefox-3.5 from the command line
[22:27] <Keiffer> Hi. I want to backup my Ubuntu install. Tar is ok? Or what prog should I use?
[22:27] <tokam1> radostyle: its installed but the shell does not list a command called unetbootbin
[22:27] <dravekx> How can I setup a remote GUI into Ubuntu desktop?
[22:27] <Mx60> th0r > It's working... BUT XD
[22:27] <mazda01_> paragon: or add it to the main menu and type in firefox-3.5 for the comand
[22:27] <Mx60> I don't have anything on the window
[22:27] <Mx60> Like X is runing but not showing anything
[22:27] <th0r> Mx60: are you still trying to use vino?
[22:27] <dravekx> I want to do it through windows
[22:27] <Mx60> th0r > Nope, just vnc4server
[22:27] <Mx60> And i can connect and enter my password
[22:27] <radostyle> tokam1: it's unetbootin not, unetbootbin
[22:28] <th0r> Mx60: ok...you just need to start X for the server...give me a sec
[22:28] <QW3RTY> has anyone here set up network file sharing between jaunty and osx tiger?
[22:28] <kebomix>  i made swap partition after installing ubuntu ,  how to make this swap partition  " Swap on automatically" ?
[22:28] <Mx60> I used the "start_x" without _ (Seems like I got disconnected everytime I typed that)
[22:28] <Mx60> The "start_x" command and it seems to be running fine
[22:29] <ted_> What is a good package to play .mp3s .oggs?
[22:29] <avig_> hello
[22:29] <jrib> !mp3 | ted_
[22:29] <tokam2> ok its found how to use it now radostyle?
[22:29] <jrib> ted_: basically, just double click on them
[22:29] <mazda01_> ted_:  i like amarok but rhythmbox and songbird are cool. songbird requires a good internet connection I found
[22:29] <pleed_> What package do i have to install for the linux programmers manual man pages? for example setsockopt and so on
[22:29] <avig_> how did you do to have this theme cairo http://www.cairo-dock.org/mediacolor/album3/1243027647_1e7708fa07.jpg
[22:30] <radostyle> you run unetbootin from the command line
[22:30] <jrib> pleed_: manpages-dev manpages-posix-dev
[22:30] <tokam2> ahh no it is not found sorr
[22:30] <tokam2> y
[22:30] <jrib> !who | tokam2
[22:30] <th0r> Mx60: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/231594/
[22:30] <tokam2> root@ubuntu:~# unetbootin
[22:30] <tokam2> -bash: unetbootin: command not found
[22:30] <paragon> mazda: worked.  Thanks.  How do I add it to the main menu?
[22:30] <nexsja> erm
[22:30] <kebomix>   i made swap partition after installing ubuntu ,  how to make this swap partition  " Swap on automatically" ?
[22:31] <mazda01_> paragon:  in ubuntu (gnome) go to System, Perferences, Main Menu, then just add an entry wherever you want it.
[22:31] <nexsja> anybody has any ideas on how to turn my 64bit system into a 32bit system without loosing everything on the hdd and without reinstalling the system
[22:31] <jrib> nexsja: make a backup and reinstall
[22:31] <jrib> nexsja: why do you want to go to 32bit though?
[22:31] <Mx60> th0r > What is the "size" argument of geometry
[22:31] <Mx60> The resolution ?
[22:32] <jrib> !swap > kebomix
[22:32] <kebomix> avig_: very beautiful theme
[22:32] <yigal> I'm using gnome-do, and for some reason its default icon is very poor quality.  It was looking quite nice just a day a ago, has anyone experienced this?
[22:32] <QW3RTY> has anyone here ever set up network file sharing between jaunty and osx tiger?
[22:32] <th0r> Mx60: if you don't use the resolution then you will have to scroll around to see all of the desktop.
[22:32] <Mx60> Oh yeah it is the resolution...
[22:32] <radostyle> tokam2: do you already have ubuntu installed on your computer or are you just using the liveCD to run it?
[22:32] <nexsja> jrib: too many issues
[22:32] <flavio> does anyone knows something about Error5 - Input/Output devices during kubuntu installation?
[22:32] <jrib> nexsja: like?
[22:32] <Mx60> th0r > Well that was already runing but...
[22:32] <th0r> Mx60: I usually reduced the resolution on the server to 800x600 so I could have the vnc sessioni in a window
[22:32] <Mx60> Well I can connect, and uh
[22:32] <nexsja> keyboard problems in apps
[22:32] <Mx60> I can "see" the vnc server I mean using my client
[22:32] <nexsja> thunderbird doesn't recognize any shortcuts
[22:33] <jrib> QW3RTY: right click -> share folder?
[22:33] <Mx60> But all I have is a gray screen, no desktop, no icon, no folders
[22:33] <Mx60> No menu etc..
[22:33] <nexsja> rhtmbox also
[22:33] <Mx60> But I have the linux cursor so it's working
[22:33] <th0r> Mx60: did you get the pastebin I just sent?
[22:33] <Travis-42> How do I do a command like "sudo cat /dev/null > /var/mail/root"  the > part doesn't run under sudo
[22:33] <tokam2> I just use a livedisk. But its 32 bit i need a 64bit live disk. It would also help me to be able to remove the disk to burn a 64bit version radostyle!
[22:33] <jrib> nexsja: that's unlikely to be because you are using 64bit instead of 32bit
[22:33] <jrib> !who | nexsja
[22:33] <Mx60> th0r > Yes of course
[22:33] <QW3RTY> jrib: well, the problem is that i can access the folders on my jaunty comp from the mac, but on my jaunty comp, I can't see any mac folders
[22:33] <Mx60> th0r > I meant
[22:33] <Mx60> The vnc4server is running on my server
[22:34] <jrib> QW3RTY: oh.  I never went in that direction
[22:34] <Mx60> And I can connect to it from my client on my personal computer
[22:34] <Mx60> But all I have on the client windows is a gray screen
[22:34] <Mx60> But it's working because I had to enter the vnc password to connect
[22:34] <jrib> nexsja: you should try a live cd of 32bit and 64bit to verify if the experience differs there
[22:34] <dravekx> Why does UBUNTU not like Putty from windows 7?
[22:34] <Mx60> And the cursor in the vnc client windows is the linux cursor so it's kinda working
[22:34] <jrib> dravekx: how doesn't it like it exactlty?
[22:35] <nexsja> hm
[22:35] <dravekx> jrib, I keep getting software errors
[22:35] <th0r> Mx60: ok...in .xinitrc make sure xfce is included....give me a sec
[22:35] <jrib> dravekx: you are trying to install putty on ubuntu?
[22:35] <radostyle> tokam2: if you have windows then you can just download unetbootin for windows http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, create your usb stick, and then use the usb stick run ubuntu
[22:35] <Mx60> th0r > Thanks :) I'm gonna check that
[22:35] <yigal> about gnome-do I just searched the forum and found a satisfactory answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770532
[22:35] <nexsja> jrib: by the way, if i have 3 partitions, my /home/ on another partition, system on another, will i save all my settings if i just wipe the OS partition?
[22:35] <jrib> !clone | nexsja
[22:35] <dravekx> jrib, I have putty installed on windows 7 and Im logging into ubuntu desktop remotely.
[22:35] <jrib> nexsja: all your user's settings will be saved
[22:36] <peol> Hey, just stumbled upon a neat app, thought I'd share it: http://gnomeartng.plasmasolutions.de/
[22:36] <crankharder> I've never done it (and i'm about to try) but what's ubuntu's support for 2 video cards with 3 monitors like?
[22:36] <jrib> dravekx: what errors are you getting exactly?
[22:36] <paragon> mazda: perfect.  I was too used to windows and was looking for an .exe equivalent and all that nonsense...thanks much!
[22:36] <mazda01_> nexsja: no, a lot of settings for programs are stored in /etc/
[22:36] <flavio> does anyone knows something about Error5 - Input/Output devices during kubuntu installation?
[22:36] <mazda01_> parano problem
[22:36] <mazda01_> paragon: no problem
[22:36] <Mx60> th0r > My xinitrc is almost empty
[22:36] <dravekx> jrib, Network Closed, Software caused an error
[22:36] <Mx60> . /etc/X11/Xsession
[22:36] <Mx60> Just that
[22:36] <th0r> Mx60: we are on the right<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[22:36] <jrib> dravekx: see if you can ssh from another ubuntu machine instead
[22:37] <Mx60> th0r > What should I put in my xinitrc ?
[22:37] <dravekx> jirb, ok :)
[22:37] <th0r> Mx60: I think all you need to do is add 'startxfce4' at the end of ~/.xinitrc, but would need to check further to be sure
[22:38] <tokam1> radostyle: i guess my problem is that the bootloader of the boot stick does not use the right device to load the kernel image
[22:38] <th0r> Mx60<EMAIL_ADDRESS>might also help
[22:39] <tokam1> i guess syslinux is not installed well
[22:39] <Mx60> th0r > Hmm i'm gonna check
[22:40] <th0r> Mx60: the problem is xfce isn't starting when you log in, and it is (or was) a simple fix. But the reading I have done now indicates they have changed the architecture of the X startup so I would have to look further.
[22:41] <Mx60> th0r > Thanks for helping.. I'm searching
[22:41] <mazda01_> Mx60: i use x11vnc and there's really no extra configuring to do, just create a password using vncpasswd and then start the server with x11vnc --usepw    and you're all set. you do have to be logged into a x session first though.
[22:41] <mazda01_> Mx60: do you race dirt bikes?
[22:42] <th0r> Mx60: looks like there is now a ~/.vnc/xstartup file....https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vnc4/+bug/377101
[22:42] <Mx60> mazda01 > Hmm nope why ? :p
[22:42] <Jeruvy> having problems with pidgin connecting on 8.04.3 desktop...does it need an update?
[22:42] <Mx60> th0r > Hmm i'm gonna search

[22:43] <mazda01_> Mx60: my girlfriends son saw your username and he races. i guess Mx60 means somethiing in racing
[22:43] <mazda01_> Mx60: mx stands for motorcross
[22:44] <Mx60> mazda01> Oh :)
[22:44] <Mx60> th0r > Okay I'm trying

[22:48] <th0r> Mx60: I have my moments...they are few and far between, but I do have them <smile>
[22:48] <sebsebseb> hi
[22:48] <dravekx> how do I configure the FTP for Lampp in Ubuntu desktop?
[22:48] <th0r> Mx60: did you have to do that .vnc/xstartup file>
[22:48] <th0r> ?
[22:49] <DarkMx> X) Ahem
[22:49] <DarkMx> I said
[22:49] <DarkMx> th0r > It's now working !
[22:49] <DarkMx> Thank you so much :)
[22:49] <th0r> DarkMx: did you have to create that ~/.vnc/xstartup file?
[22:49] <DarkMx> Hmm well I just had to edit it and uh
[22:49] <DarkMx> replace twm by startxfce4 as you said :)
[22:49] <th0r> DarkMx: ok.....enjoy
[22:50] <syslq78> I have samba share mounted multiple times and can not be unmounted any ideas?
[22:51] <dravekx> Is there a channel for LAMP?
[22:51] <QW3RTY1> has anyone here ever set up network file sharing between jaunty and osx tiger?
[22:51] <DarkMx> th0r > Thank you so much :)
[22:51] <DarkMx> th0r > You were nice to help me
[22:51] <coleys> QW3RTY1: nfs
[22:51] <th0r> DarkMx: my pleasure....I learned something in the process <smile>
[22:52] <dravekx> anyone know if there is a channel for LAMMP?
[22:52] <dravekx> I cant get the FTP setup. :(
[22:52] <durt> dravekx,  there is #ubuntu-server, not specifically lamp
[22:52] <QW3RTY1> coleys: will nfs work if i have a windows computer on the network?
[22:52] <sebsebseb> dravekx: if you do #apache it will forward you to one I think
[22:52] <bkevan> dravekx: how is FTP part of LAMP?
[22:52] <coleys> QW3RTY1: samba for windows
[22:52] <coleys> QW3RTY1: nfs for os x
[22:53] <mazda01_> QW3RTY1: what is your question?
[22:53] <bkevan> dravekx: what ftp package are you trying to use? vsftpd?
[22:53] <dravekx> bkevan, I dunno. I have FTP installed from synaptic, I just dont know how to configure it
[22:53] <ante_> I deleted python-dbus and only termina, starts...
[22:53] <arif> is there an easy way to remove all printer related (synaptic) packages and all foreign language packages, e.t.c. without having to search and click everything that you find?
[22:53] <DarkMx> th0r > :)
[22:53] <_FANTASY_> Русские есть?
[22:53] <dravekx> bkevan, I dont know.. it just said FTP, so I installed it.
[22:54] <bkevan> dravekx: Are you trying to setup a FTP server? If so, you need more then ftp, since ftp is only a client not a server
[22:54] <QW3RTY1> coleys,mazda01_: i'm trying to set up file sharing on a network with windows xp, ubuntu jaunty, and os x tiger. i can see the files on jaunty from tiger, but i can't see the files on tiger from jaunty

[22:54] <mazda01_> QW3RTY1: how are you sharing folders on os x?
[22:55] <coleys> mazda01_: has nothing to do with os x
[22:55] <coleys> mazda01_: he can't see his files from osx on Ubuntu.
[22:55] <QW3RTY1> mazda01_: well, i have personal file sharing and windows file sharing enabled
[22:56] <mazda01_> coleys: excuse me? os x can share files via samba, AFS, and apple talk. I am asking him how he is sharing his files to ensure he is sharing them via samba.
[22:56] <trollboy> anyone have any luck getting the the ti_usb_3410_5052 driver working on ubuntu?

[22:56] <_FANTASY_> Ля ля ля
[22:56] <dravekx> ?
[22:56] <mazda01_> coleys: i meant AFP, FTP, or SMB
[22:56] <Jeruvy> mazda01: ya it's worked for ages, recently it just sit's 'connecting'..sorry for the delay I was moving to the patio :)
[22:56] <coleys> mazda01_: o.o
[22:56] <_FANTASY_> Суки
[22:56] <trollboy> bkevan, its the least of my unhealthy habits, I assure you
[22:56] <bkevan> dravekx: looks like you have synaptic or something open .. :)
[22:57] <trollboy> I've got a vendor supplied patch file that looks like it only works on RHEL based distro's
[22:57] <dravekx> kk
[22:57] <trollboy> as it calls for kernel header files that don't exist in debian/ubuntu
[22:57] <mazda01_> Jeruvy: so you have been sharing some folders via SMB? when you issue findsmb does your mac show up?
[22:58] <trollboy> amazingly, puppylinux has the driver built in, however, I don't need/want a gui, etc and would prefer a nice managable package system
[22:58] <Jeruvy> mazda01: um, no samba issues just pidgin :)
[22:59] <koliz> Ok.. Mayor problem here. Left the computer on while I want away for 30 minutes. when I came back the screen was black and I couldn't do anything. Made a hart reboot and now it seems like I don't have a wlan interface.
[22:59] <koliz> asus eeepc 1000he
[22:59] <QW3RTY1> would it be easier to work with samba or just use nfs?
[23:00] <yigal> I'm trying to use madplay.  Everything which works except for volume control?
[23:00] <Argyanc> QW3RTY1, samba is easier...
[23:00] <yigal> I can't change the volume with madplay?
[23:00] <gartral> my dvd-rom is reporting all disks i put in it are of 0kb in size.. any thoughts?
[23:01] <mazda01_> QW3RTY1: i find nfs easier to work with but samba is pretty easy if all your username and passwords for all your machines are the same.
[23:01] <trollboy> gartral, are they mounted?
[23:01] <Jeruvy> QW3RTY1: samba is easier but nfs is better.  But if it's a lot of small files, samba, lot of big files nfs.
[23:01] <yigal> I can mute the system and madplay still plays at max volume, any thoughts?
[23:01] <dravekx> bkevan, how do I configure it?
[23:01] <mazda01_> Argyanc: i have to disagree, with having to edit the smb.conf file and depending on what security you use, nfs is just changing one file on server and one file on client
[23:01] <gartral> trollboy: yea, the disk appears on my desktop, but everything indicates that its "not empty" which is impossible because i JUST pulled them from a fresh spindle
[23:02] <dravekx> bkevan, I had synaptic open. lol... its installed.
[23:02] <bkevan> dravekx: first try starting it.. and see if it works as you expect.. then if you want to do more configuration you can read the manpage for vsftpd (pretty robust) .. but guessing the default config may work just fine for you
[23:02] <bkevan> sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
[23:02] <darrylm> koliz: did you get an answer to your wlan problem?
[23:03] <koliz> darrylm, nah man. I'm about to panic over here :/
[23:03] <dravekx> bkevan, its working.. I just dont know how to setup the username and pwd
[23:03] <dravekx> unless its the default.
[23:03] <bkevan> koliz: why you panic'ing?
[23:03] <bkevan> dravekx: Yes.. by default it uses the system users
[23:03] <dravekx> cool
[23:03] <koliz> bkevan, cause the netbook froze, and now the wlan interface is gone. that scares the shit out of a ordinary human beeing like myself :)
[23:03] <bkevan> dravekx: you can read the man pages and it will talk more about ftpusers file..
[23:04] <darrylm> koliz: ok try opening a terminal, type (without the quotes) sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload --- you will be temp disconnected
[23:04] <darrylm> koliz: but it will come back up
[23:04] <QW3RTY1> well, if i wanna view the files stored on my mac, how would i fix that? (since i can view the files stored on my ubuntu comp)
[23:04] <koliz> darrylm, ill to that right away.
[23:04] <darrylm> koliz: my asus does same thing. its a hibernate or suspend issue
[23:04] <bkevan> koliz: what does messages and dmesg say regarding the card? but I agree with darrylm.. sounds liek it isn't re-initiated when it comes back from sleep mode or hibernation
[23:05] <koliz> hold on bkevan. Ill do what darrylm told me first.
[23:05] <toothbrush> hello. i just found out that my system has been compromised, what should i do?
[23:05] <darrylm> koliz and bkevan: i have found ubuntu's netbook remix to be a great help (somehow???) in fixing this issue. works great
[23:06] <koliz> darrylm, it's the nbr I'm using
[23:06] <mazda01_> QW3RTY1: did you run the command and see what it returns?  findsmb and smbtree entering your password  for your mac user. nothing in preferences shared has changed oin the mac?
[23:06] <koliz> :)
[23:06] <bkevan> toothbrush: first how do you figure it's been comprimised? check in your logs to see what was ran.. also.. take it off any network
[23:06] <koliz> anyhow, the output from running that command darrylm was (2 line paste coming):
[23:06] <koliz>  * Reconfiguring network interfaces...                                                                                Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
[23:06] <darrylm> koliz: did you follow any howto's on setting up for an asus?
[23:07] <koliz> darrylm, haven't needed to since everything has worked kinda good. except some problem getting into WAP-secure networks. But changing driver made that work
[23:07] <koliz> I still have no wlan interface btw
[23:08] <floating> hey ya. when ubuntu 9 came, it had problems with my intel graphics driver, so bad I couldnt use it anymore.. Has that problem been patched so that if i installed ubuntu 9, it would get fixed with auto updates _
[23:08] <toothbrush> bkevan, i received a couple warnings while running a rootkit.

[23:08] <gartral> floating: which graphics controller do you have/
[23:08] <theTroy> how to share files between 2 ubuntu machines?
[23:09] <mazda01_> theTroy: i would use nfs
[23:09] <koliz> bkevan, dmesg gives me a hell of a output. Is there some way I could minimilize the output to see "just what i need to see"? Or what should I look after here?
[23:09] <gartral> theTroy: ubuntu one is a good idea ;P
[23:09] <floating> ummh, i cant remember :/ I have some dell pc, it is a compact size, not normal size
[23:09] <benalink> hwy guys
[23:09] <koliz> darrylm, I'm not going anywhere mate. Really appreciate all the help
[23:09] <gartral> floating: a dell mini? 8, 9, or 10?
[23:09] <theTroy> gartral ubuntu one is not an option (dislike the idea of the ubuntu one servers being able to see the files)
[23:09] <benalink> guys is it possible to run  the .img file without a usb
[23:09] <theTroy> mazda01_ could you elaborate?
[23:10] <darrylm> koliz: what do you get when you type "ifconfig" ?
[23:10] <theTroy> and can I use samba for ubuntu to ubuntu file sharing?
[23:10] <koliz> darrenb, info of eth0 and lo
[23:10] <gartral> theTroy: you could allways encrypt them before uploading.. >.>
[23:10] <theTroy> gartral I need real-time access not silly file sharing server
[23:10] <toothbrush> bkevan, i got this from chkrootkit: Checking `z2'...                                            user jon deleted or never logged from lastlog!
[23:11] <toothbrush> bkevan, what does that mean?
[23:11] <benalink> guys is it possible to run  the .img file without a usb? For the install. As i would like to install ubuntu but dont have a usb or cd drive is it possible
[23:11] <floating> gartral: cant see that info on the deck .. its not running now, but the integrated graphics controller is pretty bad
[23:11] <koliz> benalink, you need some sort of medium
[23:11] <sebsebseb> !install |  benalink
[23:11] <lstarnes> benalink: you could run it in a virtual machine
[23:11] <thiebaude> !unetbootin
[23:11] <lstarnes> toothbrush: do you get any additional output?
[23:12] <mazda01_> theTroy: here's a guide for setting up nfs. very easy to follow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889&highlight=nfs
[23:12] <gartral> my dvd-rom is reporting all disks i put in it are of 0kb in size.. any thoughts?
[23:12] <dravekx> okay, Im tired of not having access to anything in ubuntu.
[23:12] <benalink> @lstarnes  explain?
[23:12] <dravekx> :(
[23:12] <toothbrush> lstarnes, no, that was it from chkrootkit
[23:12] <dravekx> how can I save a file in the ETC directory that I have changed?
[23:12] <theTroy> aha thanks mazda01_
[23:12] <lstarnes> benalink: a vitrual machine is an application that simulates an entire computer
[23:12] <theTroy> how would I restart service from terminal?
[23:12] <darrylm> koliz: do you have ndiswrapper installed???
[23:13] <lstarnes> benalink: "emulates" would probably be more appropriate than "simulates"
[23:13] <koliz> darrylm, no I haven't. Tho I remember the name from back in the days when I used slackware. Isn't that so you can use win-drivers ?
[23:13] <benalink> i know that but could u give me instructions on how to do it. Alli have is a .img install file
[23:13] <lstarnes> toothbrush: did you run it with sudo?
[23:13] <mazda01_> dravekx: is the ETC directory not owned by you? you probably need to save it to some place yo uahve write access to, like your home directory for now. then open a root nautilus BUT be very careful
[23:13] <darrylm> koliz: well yes and no but seems everything i have read leads to ndiswrapper for some reason
[23:13] <lstarnes> benalink: it depends on the virtual machine being used
[23:14] <benalink> hmmm. i dont know any. Please advise
[23:14] <lstarnes> benalink: physical machines can't boot from a file system image.  They need actual file systems
[23:14] <koliz> darrylm, hm
[23:14] <dravekx> mazda01_, evidently not. I have access to nothing but my home directory and its driving me nuts. can I change this?
[23:14] <mazda01_> dravekx: after you open a root nautilus (gksudo nautilus) then go to the location that you want to store the new file in, and rename the existing file to something like foo_old and then cut and paste the changed file there. get it?
[23:14] <lstarnes> benalink: virtualbox is fairly easy to use
[23:14] <theTroy> how to restart a service from terminal? (newbie)
[23:14] <toothbrush> lstames: yes i did
[23:14] <lstarnes> theTroy: which service?
[23:14] <theTroy> samba
[23:14] <toothbrush> lstarnes, yes i di
[23:14] <toothbrush> did
[23:15] <benalink> how do i change the .img to something that will run ? .exe did not work
[23:15] <lstarnes> toothbrush: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart
[23:15] <theTroy> ty
[23:15] <dravekx> mazda01_, yes. is there a way to change permissions in certain folders for a user?
[23:15] <lstarnes> benalink: changing file extensions does nothing useful
[23:15] <benalink> ph
[23:15] <mazda01_> dravekx: you don't want to change this. it's the system protecting itself from you. HA HA. you need to use sudo or gksudo for gui apps when changing stuff that isn't owned by you.
[23:15] <lstarnes> benalink: a .img file is a filesystem image
[23:15] <lstarnes> benalink: you have to burn it to a disk or a flash drive
[23:15] <benalink> so how can i install?
[23:15] <dravekx> lol
[23:15] <darrylm> koliz: after hard reboot did you do normal reboot?
[23:16] <mazda01_> dravekx: yes, you would use the chown command but tell me what folder it is first.
[23:16] <koliz> darrylm, yes
[23:16] <lstarnes> benalink: or you could try loading it with a virtual machine
[23:16] <benalink> i dont have disk or flash drive
[23:16] <darrylm> koliz: ok still looking
[23:16] <koliz> darrylm, I read about some guy who had the same problem. That kinda just "fixed itself" after a bunch of reboots.
[23:16] <benalink> lst how would i do that?
[23:16] <toothbrush> lstarnes, invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/samba not found.
[23:16] <koliz> suddenly the interface was just back.
[23:16] <lstarnes> benalink: install a virtual machine and run it
[23:16] <koliz> darrylm, but it makes sense it has something to do with the hibernate thingy
[23:17] <lstarnes> benalink: virtualbox is one
[23:17] <QW3RTY1> benalink: if you want to install ubuntu without a cd, try unetbootin
[23:17] <Clooluss> I have dvd playback problems. I have all the medibuntu libdvd* stuff installed and can watch old dvds fine, but newer dvds just won't mount.
[23:17] <darrylm> koliz: yes but look at this. I have asus n10j which is very similar. i followed this guide and have no problems   http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=315810
[23:17] <benalink> inetbootin?
[23:17] <benalink> unetbootin?
[23:17] <darrylm> koliz: look for Startup, suspend and resume issues
[23:17] <burkmat> On Ubuntu Server, how would I most easily configure it to avoid certain processes gaining 100% CPU usage (effectively locking everyone out of the system)? Could this be done using limits? All I've found is limiting CPU time...
[23:17] <mazda01_> benalink: you can  mount a .img file. follow this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149197    goggle pretty much has every answer for eveery question asked in here
[23:17] <koliz> darrylm, what wcard do you have ?
[23:17] <QW3RTY1> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[23:18] <dravekx> Why would someone create an OS that protects itself from teh owner??? thats insane.
[23:18] <benalink> what does unetbootin do?
[23:18] <lstarnes> toothbrush: oops.  I think I accidentally gave you the wrong message
[23:18] <mazda01_> toothbrush: did you install samba?
[23:18] <Clooluss> dravekx: You obviously haven't met enough users =-)
[23:18] <burkmat> benalink, Simple software to create bootable USB sticks.
[23:18] <lstarnes> toothbrush: have you double-checked with rkhunter?
[23:19] <benalink> i dont have a usb stick :S
[23:19] <dravekx> haha.
[23:19] <lstarnes> benalink: I think it boots over a network
[23:19] <darrylm> koliz: atheros
[23:19] <QW3RTY1> benalink: it also installs directly to a hard drive
[23:19] <benalink> ok
[23:19] <dravekx> mazda01_, how do i restart the vsftpd ?
[23:19] <gartral> burkmat: you need to make some proccess have lower priority, linux servers aremeant too be able too have several proccess running at 100% cpu time, and not adversly affect the system

[23:20] <stercor> How do I get ntpd to reread the ntp.conf file?
[23:20] <yigal> ah for my question about madplay, "aoss madplay" should be used instead of just madplay so as to use alsa for volume control.  aoss can be found in the package alsa-oss.
[23:20] <rad182> when i call gem i get
[23:20] <lstarnes> stercor: try restarting it
[23:21] <benalink> Hmm i get an error when i tryto run any programs. I think i jus got serious virus
[23:21] <mazda01_> dravekx: is it running? issue this command.   ps aux | grep vsftpd    if it's runjning, then look at the number, that's the pid, you need to isse a command to kill it. sudo kill pidnumberhere.  then just restart it. if it has a startup script you would issue  sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart  or start it from the command prompt
[23:21] <rad182>  /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- thread (LoadError)
[23:21] <rad182> any idea?
[23:21] <burkmat> gartral, Yeah, but adjusting priority for every single process that will ever run seems a tad... tedious. Or should I just set login & bash to a negative prio?
[23:21] <syntax> anyone?
[23:21] <gartral> benalink: there are no known "viruses" for linux, you probably have something misconfigured somewhere

[23:32] <kad_> hey got Wireless WPA2 key how i can config it using /network/interfaces? i type wireless-essid and for WPA2 what do i type  for it! thx =)

[23:33] <Clooluss> Ha! I fixed my DVD playback problem!!!! I have to run a command to activate the libdvdread4 package! "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"
[23:34] <Slart> dravekx: you need a space between the command and its parameters
[23:34] <koltroll> :) sorry slart.
[23:34] <Lostin> dravekx also cd is case sensitive

[23:35] <bastidrazor> dave_30, killall cairo-dock ?
[23:35] <koltroll> tho I assume it is installable..
[23:35] <darrylm> koltroll: asus-laptop thing?
[23:35] <koltroll> darrylm, modprobe asus_laptop, cd /sys/devices/asus_laptop/blabla
[23:36] <koltroll> I don't have that catalog neither
[23:36] <koltroll> I have a eeepc catalog, but it didn't include the next thing they were aiming at
[23:36] <Lostin> maxda01 I don't thik this is related to debian. Ubuntu devs just changed some file names/locations
[23:36] <Um_cara_qualquer> is there some way to convert a "VIDEO-TS & AUDIO_TS" back to .AVI format?
[23:36] <koltroll> I mean the wlan interface CAN'T possibly be broken. that would be so unfair
[23:37] <Lostin> I just want to mod a keymap and load it
[23:37] <koltroll> there's gotta be some easy way to just load in the right modules or something like that
[23:37] <kad_> hey got Wireless WPA2 key how i can config it using /network/interfaces? i type wireless-essid and for WPA2 what do i type  for it! thx =)

[23:39] <kebomix>  how to make this theme and effects !?   http://www.cairo-dock.org/mediacolor/album3/1243027647_1e7708fa07.jpg
[23:39] <koltroll> Lostin, have not no
[23:39] <darrylm> koltroll: that might work
[23:39] <koltroll> wouldn't it make more sense to install ndiswrapper if I hadn't had it working on before hand?
[23:40] <Lostin> koltroll in the forums, under wireless and networkin is a great tutorial

[23:44] <burkmat> Running Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS AMD64 - Some process appears to enjoy randomly (once every two/three weeks) assaulting my CPU and touching it in a bad place, rendering the entire system unusable due to 100% CPU usage. Now I'm planning on sorting this out by setting its priority up a step or two, but it's tricky since I don't know who the bad guy is. Any suggestions on how to locate who this sneaky bastard is, my logs show nothing and
[23:44] <burkmat> it's kind of hard to check when I can't get a shell.
[23:45] <Guest33085> login as sudo that will sort your sound out
[23:45] <TheNewGuy> anyone know the minimum computers specifications to run ubumtu?  I checked the web site, I know it is there, but I can't find it.
[23:45] <darrylm> burkmat: open terminal and type top

[23:46] <burkmat> darrylm, Can't log in. No shell.
[23:46] <darrylm> burkmat: do you have a desktop?
[23:46] <jellyware> kinda new to the command line.  I have firefox 2.  how do I upgrade to firefox 3.5 using apt-get??
[23:46] <sebsebseb> !ff35  |  jellyware
[23:47] <burkmat> darrylm, Laptop. Unsure how it'll help since I can't SSH in, assuming sshd doesn't get any CPU time at all.
[23:47] <Lostin> Once more before I go...where is the default keymap lives?
[23:47] <koltroll> hm. none of the trouble shootings for different wlan confs helped me.

[23:47] <TheNewGuy> sebsebseb, I have 192 meg as of 30 minuts ago and I can get it to 256meg.
[23:47] <Lostin> noy is..lol
[23:48] <darrylm> koltroll: what version ubuntu are you on?
[23:48] <koltroll> and the other thread is a ndiswrapper trouble shooting guide.. And since I'm not using ndiswrapper I'm not having any troubles with it :) And I'm not ready just yet to give it a go since I strongly belive that should be able to work out some other way... since it DID work before.
[23:48] <kad_> how to download new kernel !

[23:51] <sebsebseb> !alternate |  TheNewGuy
[23:51] <burkmat> darrylm, Well, I rebooted now so it's alive for now. But I would love some way of figuring out what process is doing it so I can fix it... but as soon as the problem pops up, no shell, and no logs show anything. Guess I'll have to set up some sort of logging myself... Thinking of just piping `ps`into a log and hope for the best.
[23:51] <vikas> ok i got i
[23:51] <sebsebseb> TheNewGuy: why did you ask me if the Live CD is a British thing?

[23:53] <atomic007za> how would I turn the sound off for all SDL driven apps? @ bootup, sorry
[23:53] <sebsebseb> TheNewGuy: Why do you think that?
