[22:26] <javaguru> so they play on the "right" monitore
[22:27] <phoul> and it always has to do with sound.
[22:27] <soundray> lemontea: it may or may not. It's not possible to predict without knowing the hardware details. I have done this kind of operation and it worked, but then I know how to help myself...
[22:27] <phoul> Like xchat wont crash, But gmpc will.

[22:27] <lex0> how do i fix my usb sound i have SB Live! 24-bit external???
[22:28] <Vampire> hi
[22:28] <lex0> hi
[22:28] <soundray> !hi | Vampire
[22:28] <ubotu> Vampire: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[22:28] <Vampire> How are u all room
[22:28] <ikonia> Cpudan80: that looks like your just using the lcd config on your monitor, is that the case ?
[22:28] <tonsofpcs> anyone know of a good place to get a HDD between 10 and 40 GB without paying way too much $$$$$? [preferrably a storefront in the Northern NJ/Rcokland Co., NY area, but internet works too]
[22:28] <soundray> Vampire: ask a support question. This is not a chat channel.
[22:28] <QuickGold> tonsofpcs: newegg.com
[22:28] <guspad> hey guys
[22:28] <Cpudan80> ikonia: I guess yeah -- all I want it to do is clone the main screen when in the dock
[22:28] <lemontea> soundray is there command also to reconfigure all hardware or etc information to run boot the pc up normally
[22:28] <Cpudan80> ikonia: Works ok - except for this video problem
[22:28] <Vampire> i want to setup real player
[22:29] <soundray> lemontea: no
[22:29] <javaguru> tonsofpcs: send a broken drive to RMA
[22:29] <nhorning> yeah
[22:29] <nhorning> that didn't work
[22:29] <tanath> tonsofpcs, you could search for pc stores in your area on google maps, and see which ones have websites & compare prices
[22:29] <nhorning> pci=noacpi doesn't work
[22:29] <soundray> nhorning: maybe try the apic-related boot options (private message coming)
[22:29] <ikonia> Cpudan80: I've never worked that way, so I don't know why/how that would work. I wrote a script to detect if it was docked or not, then swapped in a monitor file, or a laptop file for xorg depending on the output of that script
[22:29] <soundray> !bootoptions > nhorning
[22:29] <Vampire> soundrat
[22:29] <Vampire> soundray
[22:30] <Vampire> realplayer
[22:30] <james296> is there a possible fix on preventing the Launcher Properties dialog running BEHIND the Main Menu program?
[22:30] <soundray> !realplayer | Vampire
[22:30] <ubotu> Vampire: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[22:30] <Cpudan80> ikonia: I wonder why it would only not display the video?
[22:30] <ikonia> Cpudan80: no idea, maybe something to do with the alt+f4 swap to monitor hardware thing ?
[22:30] <james296> well?
[22:31] <Vampire> i wanna setup real player how ?
[22:31] <Cpudan80> ikonia: alt+f4 ?
[22:31] <ikonia> Cpudan80: fn+f4
[22:31] <Cpudan80> ikonia: You mean Fn-f7 ?
[22:31] <ikonia> Cpudan80: what ever the keystroke is
[22:31] <ikonia> Cpudan80: yes, that it
[22:31] <Cpudan80> lol lemme see

Dropping to a shell!". So, how do I troubleshoot and how do I fix?

[22:34] <ikonia> dublinfireman: just ask

[22:34] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> can anyone help me with gmailfs?
[22:34] <bododo_> can I ? :)
[22:34] <ikonia> dublinfireman: join #ubuntuforums and ask for an admin
[22:34] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> so, change your ip
[22:34] <james296> its from the latest kernel update
[22:34] <quique> thanks...
[22:34] <dublinfireman> ok
[22:34] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> if the ip are static
[22:34] <quique> have you seen them work?
[22:34] <ikonia> harmental: no - that is NOT acceptable advice
[22:34] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> we can't do nothing
[22:35] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> :D
[22:35] <ikonia> oops
[22:35] <ikonia> Kamus_H_Zwisch: that is NOT acceptable advice

[22:35] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> ikonia: ??????????
[22:35] <soundray> quique: Hauppauge cooperates with Linux driver developers
[22:35] <ikonia> Kamus_H_Zwisch: ban avoiding is not acceptable to advice
[22:35] <boweeb> Is there a bash solution to divide a plain text file by every so many lines? I have a csv with over 350,000 lines that I need split into every 65,000 so excel can open them.
[22:35] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> oh
[22:35] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> sorry
[22:35] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> :(
[22:35] <quique> awesome... thanks
[22:35] <ikonia> boweeb: you can do it with cut, and/or sed
[22:35] <OmegaCenti> Alrighty then, biggest problem I am having right now: How to map a network drive. Can anyone help with this please?
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> boweeb:  i think cut/paste/head/tail can do that - with the proper command line options.. but it may be best to write a perl script to do it.
[22:36] <Kamus_H_Zwisch>  can anyone help me with gmailfs?
[22:36] <quique> how about connectix?
[22:36] <starfall87> lex0: are you just trying to enable desktop effects?  in gutsy you should use compiz, which is installed by default.  Or are you looking to use beryl instead for some reason
[22:36] <ikonia> Kamus_H_Zwisch: if you ask a question, maybe
[22:36] <james296> is there a possible fix on preventing the Launcher Properties dialog running BEHIND the Main Menu program?
[22:36] <soundray> Vampire: if you can't answer that for yourself, I won't
[22:36] <sco50000> my fresh install of ubuntu hangs on cups
[22:36] <neba> is it possible to run winxp ontop of ubuntu feisty?
[22:36] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> ikonia: sorry

[22:36] <OmegaCenti> Alrighty then, biggest problem I am having right now: How to map a network drive. Can anyone help with this please?
[22:36] <lex0> i have gutsy, how would i use compiz?
[22:37] <ikonia> neba: no
[22:37] <noroot> nabe: use virtualisation
[22:37] <boweeb> Cool. So what documentation should I hunt down? cut, sed, head, and tail?
[22:37] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> when i try to mont the filesystem with gmail fs i got a lot of erros
[22:37] <neba> mofo partitioning again
[22:37] <tsukasa> anyone know what the ubuntu loading screen is called after grub selection but before login screen? i want to change the image to a proper resolution so my tv doesnt freak out on boot
[22:37] <ikonia> neba: ubuntu is an operating system, without virtualisation you can't have two OS's running again
[22:37] <ikonia> boweeb: man sed
[22:37] <ikonia> boweeb: man cut
[22:37] <starfall87> lex0: simply go to System>Preferences>Appearence>Visual Effects Tab
[22:37] <Megaqwerty> lex0: have you installed the restricted graphics driver?
[22:37] <ikonia> boweeb: maybe even less too
[22:37] <XLV> quique, other cards like cheap one based on bt 848 and 878 also, but those dont have hardware mpeg2 encoding

[22:41] <OmegaCenti> Anyone know how to map a network drive?
[22:41] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: just give it a second. You're asking so quickly it's thinking you're spamming it
[22:41] <OmegaCenti> Thanks Megaqwerty
[22:41] <soundray> sco50000: did you find a relevant message in the log?
[22:41] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: I am still sad though :(
[22:41] <noroot> some type of dvd are not mountable in ubuntu (i dont know the exact fs) but they work fine in winxp. anyone aware
[22:41] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: I'm not sure what you mean by "map a network drive"
[22:42] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: What are you trying to accomplish?
[22:42] <sco50000> soundray, i'll go check it
[22:42] <RyanPrior> !css | noroot
[22:42] <ubotu> noroot: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[22:42] <Vampire> :(
[22:42] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: I am trying to access the H:drive of my home folder of my Computer Science class remotely
[22:42] <noroot> ryanprior: no its not in dvd formart, its actually avi files on dvd.
[22:42] <sco50000> soundray, the syslog is empty
[22:43] <Xintrude1> good night
[22:43] <RyanPrior> noroot: It's still in a certain disk filesystem.
[22:43] <daysleepr> hello all, i'm new to ubuntu so sorry if this is a dumb question
[22:43] <MrObvious> tanath: You don't need Windows to use it.
[22:43] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: is it on your LAN?
[22:43] <RyanPrior> noroot: The filesystem that can't be mounted on Ubuntu by default, but can on Windows, is CSS.
[22:43] <tanath> MrObvious, ikonia, i've unmounted the partition that i suspected had the problem, and that appears to have done it
[22:43] <tanath> MrObvious, cool
[22:43] <noroot> yes maybe joilet but i am not sure
[22:43] <daysleepr> i'd like to update firefox, but the update tool says its up-to-date.. however it is <IP_ADDRESS> and the latest version is <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:43] <soundray> sco50000: in that case, you will need to try out some boot options. Start with "noapic". Ubotu will send you some info by private message
[22:43] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: (I also assume it's a Windows computer)
[22:43] <soundray> !bootoptions > sco50000
[22:44] <MrObvious> tanath: It's just an ISO that after you buy you burn the disc and it runs and should help.
[22:44] <RyanPrior> daysleepr: You'll need to get the new package from Hardy.
[22:44] <daysleepr> do i need to set a new repository for synaptic
[22:44] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: I it is on tamu.edu, I am connected to tamu.edu, however, a vpn connection is required to connect to tamulink
[22:44] <sco50000> soundray, i think ubotu is a little slow right now
[22:44] <RyanPrior> daysleepr: Not necessarily. You can probably get it form getdeb.
[22:44] <noroot> ryanprior: yes maybe joilet but i am not sure
[22:44] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: I have no idea what kind of computer it is
[22:44] <sco50000> !bootoptions > sco50000
[22:44] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: give me a second
[22:45] <daysleepr> let me give that a shot, thank you
[22:45] <MrObvious> tanath: It's got several recovery options that go bit by bit, read the data, replace corrupted bits with leftover bits on the harddrive so it works, and blacklists bad bits. It's not a bad investment and is some good hard drive maintence. I haven't had the money to buy it and I really wish I could.
[22:45] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: np.
[22:45] <soundray> sco50000: you can do '/msg ubotu bootoptions' as well
[22:45] <tanath> sounds good, but i have to go. thx
[22:45] <RyanPrior> Is there a way to refresh my mouse drivers without rebooting the computer? My mouse keeps dying every 10 minutes.
[22:45] <ikonia> RyanPrior: mouose drivers ? as in xorg ?
[22:45] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> whit the config file in the place, the 40 lines of erros disapear and i get = ignored option=rw
[22:45] <RyanPrior> ikonia: As in whatever drives the mouse.  However it's not quite my department.
[22:46] <sco50000> soundray, k, thanks i'll play around for a bit and see if i can  get this working
[22:46] <lex0> ok another question,...how would i update my drivers? such as USB?
[22:46] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: to connect to the VPN, install network-manager-openvpn
[22:46] <soundray> RyanPrior: as a workaround, have you tried pulling it out and plugging it back in again?
[22:46] <yoni_ub> Hello, I'm experiencing some issues to configure my bind9 dns server. Does someone can help me? I follow tutoriels, i checked a lot of times everything seem to be ok. But when digging, I have "Answer: 0;" and the domain is not pinging
[22:46] <RyanPrior> soundray: That does not work.
[22:47] <starfall87> lex0: the drivers for USB are part of the kernel, what problem with them are you experiencing?
[22:47] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: then the network-manager will have VPN support
[22:47] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: I already am connected to the vpn I think. I installed network-manager-vpnc and vpnc
[22:47] <lex0> my sound does not work
[22:47] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: that was the other option
[22:47] <manuel_jordison> is there any acer laptop with a webcam???
[22:47] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: which one is better?
[22:47] <lex0> for example when going to a website i cannot hear sounds on videos
[22:47] <soundray> RyanPrior: then it's a USB problem. Do you connect your mouse via a hub or directly to the motherboard?
[22:47] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: I honestly don't know
[22:47] <starfall87> lex0: is your soundcard USB?
[22:47] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: I've never used either
[22:47] <lex0> yes
[22:47] <RyanPrior> soundray: It's a laptop, so I assume the ports are not far from the motherboard.
[22:48] <lex0> i have SB Live! 24-bit external
[22:48] <kinglet> Hey all, I have a question about XVidCap for capturing of my desktop
[22:48] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: My vpn requires a gateway, ID, secret, username, password, and vpnc plugin for network manager only asks for gateway, and group id which I not idea what it is.
[22:48] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: Then I suppose you could try the openvpn plugin instead
[22:48] <starfall87> lex0: well that problem is most likely not a problem with USB drivers, but rather ALSA, which handles sound cards
[22:48] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: The problem isn't connecting to the vpn however, it is mapping a a drive to this computer so I can use it like it was here locally.
[22:48] <Megaqwerty> *nods*
[22:48] <Megaqwerty> okay
[22:48] <crimsun> lex0: what's the issue specifically?
[22:48] <kinglet> When I capture it and playe the movie, Its too fast palyin...
[22:49] <kinglet> with xVidCap
[22:49] <lex0> when i open a website and play a video i cannot hear sound
[22:49] <lex0> it works on my AIM
[22:49] <yoni_ub> does someoene can give me some tricks to resolve my dns problem ?
[22:49] <MrObvious> manuel_jordison: IDK. This isn't the channel for it, but I'd imagine so. Google might be your friend here.
[22:49] <OmegaCenti> Oy, I cannot wait to stop using pidgin for IRC...  In this case, You merely have to go to Places>Network and browse for the share
[22:49] <kinglet> How can I get low that speed playin!
[22:49] <starfall87> lex0: is that a flash video?
[22:49] <crimsun> lex0: which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[22:49] <pike_> OmegaCenti: i use vpnc from cli itll prompt you for each item like sudo vpnc --domaim=mahdomain  youll need to contact your IT group or something for that stuff
[22:49] <lex0> yes like youtube
[22:49] <soundray> RyanPrior: I don't have any specific advice for your problem, but I've found that a USB PC card adapter works better than the built-in laptop USB hardware.
[22:49] <lex0> ihave gutsy
[22:50] <starfall87> lex0: does it play the sound after you login?
[22:50] <daysleepr> i can't find firefox on getdeb.org .. woudl it be ok to just download the latest version and isntall it myself, or would this mess up synaptic
[22:50] <OmegaCenti> pike_: hey hows it going! long time no see, and its okay if you don't remember.  I already have all the information, and I already used vpnc-connect
[22:50] <sco50000> soundray, noapci did nothing and i really don't know where to start with all the other boot options
[22:50] <lex0> no
[22:50] <daysleepr> just seems strange... to have the package manager and then have to manually install it
[22:50] <RyanPrior> soundray: Rebooting the computer gets it to come back, and starting the kernel with "irqpoll" and "pci=routeirq" solves the problem also.
[22:50] <yoni_ub> I configure the dns hosts file, like describe in many tutorials on the web, but it doesn't work, when i'm digging i don't have any answers, and this line appear, and seem to be strangealadyo.be.              38400   IN      SOA     ks35373.kimsufi.com. yoni.aladyo.com.<PHONE_NUMBER> 10800 3600<PHONE_NUMBER>0
[22:50] <crimsun> lex0: but `aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav` is audible?
[22:50] <lex0> maybe i just dont know how to configure ALSA
[22:50] <sich> hi
[22:50] <yoni_ub> it should be shorten thant that
[22:50] <soundray> sco50000: it's noapic (not noapci)
[22:50] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: I don't think it is "shared" that way
[22:51] <sco50000> soundray, oops
[22:51] <sich> can help me please in IE4linux
[22:51] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: you can download anything from the Ubuntu repository through the web interface. http://packages.ubuntu.com
[22:51] <soundray> RyanPrior: oh good, so you have a solution
[22:51] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: So basically you're making your own DNS server locally?
[22:51] <lex0> let me check crimsun
[22:51] <RyanPrior> daysleepr: I don't suggest downloading and installing yourself. You can get the Hardy package from packages.ubuntu.com, but there's no guarantee it will install.
[22:51] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: Then I need to know how it's shared to be able to help you
[22:51] <manuel_jordison> mrobvious: sorry  i tried so hard but i couldn t  find anything
[22:51] <yoni_ub> yes,
[22:51] <portablejim> anybody familiar with 32bit firefox on 64bit gutsy?
[22:51] <kinglet> Heyyyyy!! nobody is there who can help me? :(
[22:51] <RyanPrior> daysleepr: You could file a bug in Launchpad asking for a backport to Gutsy too.
[22:51] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Can I ask why? I might be able to suggest a less involved solution.
[22:51] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: its a network drive, and I need to "map it" I am sorry I don't know any other way to describe it :)
[22:51] <MrObvious> portablejim: I'm doing it now.
[22:52] <soundray> kinglet: ask your question and have some patience waiting for an answer
[22:52] <sco50000> soundray, well, noapic gave the same results
[22:52] <RyanPrior> portablejim: Why do you need to use 32 bit Firefox? There's a 64 bit version/
[22:52] <starfall87> lex0 what is the output for dpkg -s esound
[22:52] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: I can attempt to backport a package for you if it is extremely important. It would take me a while to compile it as I'm on my laptop however, and I could only make an i386 package.
[22:52] <lex0> does not work
[22:52] <OmegaCenti> pike_: you alive there?
[22:52] <yoni_ub> MrObvsious, because my registrat doesn't allow me to manage completly the dns, and i want to have special dns records for gmail mail hostings
[22:52] <pike_> OmegaCenti: sometimes :)
[22:53] <yoni_ub> *registrar
[22:53] <lex0> star, is that in the sound option under system?
[22:53] <MrObvious> RyanPrior: Flash doesn't work in 64 for me but I installed 32 bit and it works fine.
[22:53] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: What I need to know is what protocol it's shared with
[22:53] <soundray> sco50000: too bad you're having all that trouble. Next thing to try is nolapic, possibly in combination with noapic
[22:53] <portablejim> How do you get java, flash, etc on 64bit firefox. I have installed the ubuntu-restricted extras.
[22:53] <starfall87> lex0 no that checks to see if the package esound is installed
[22:53] <kinglet> soundray: I do it! emmm I have a problem with xVidCap, when I captured and play the movie that is too fast! how can I get down the palying speed?
[22:53] <DenisG> Hi there
[22:53] <sco50000> soundray, ok
[22:53] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: like...sshfs, samba, NFS, etc.
[22:53] <RyanPrior> MrObvious: Ah, flash-restricted. Have fun. :-)
[22:53] <MrObvious> portablejim: I followed this guide and got it to work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[22:53] <daysleepr> thank you for the offer but i'm looking for a solution that will survive future versions
[22:53] <lex0> what do i type in terminal?
[22:53] <DenisG> I'm shocked and in awe
[22:53] <DenisG> what happened to gaybuntu.com?
[22:53] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: what od you mean "survive future versions" ?
[22:53] <starfall87> lex0: dpkg -s esound  (may require sudo)
[22:53] <DenisG> I found it really cool
[22:53] <LjL> !ot | DenisG
[22:53] <soundray> kinglet: I don't know, please ask the channel
[22:53] <ubotu> DenisG: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:53] <OmegaCenti> Megaqwerty: one sec it seems that our computer science deapartment has its own vpn. one sec while I dig into that more.
[22:54] <javaguru> anyone from IBM here ? can't get Mobility Client to work
[22:54] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Hmm, you mean your ISP has bad DNS serv.ers? I set my DNS to <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, and <IP_ADDRESS> because my ISP's DNS servers where having hiccups lately
[22:54] <Megaqwerty> OmegaCenti: k
[22:54] <sich> can everyone help me
[22:54] <lex0> it says esound is not installed
[22:54] <MrObvious> !ask | sich
[22:54] <ubotu> sich: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[22:54] <bobby_> nickrud: hello... how are you doing?
[22:54] <kinglet> soundray: I asked! but nobody answer me...
[22:54] <daysleepr> i'm using 7.10 ... latest version me thinks
[22:54] <lex0> how would i install it?
[22:54] <daysleepr> well, when firefox <IP_ADDRESS> comes out, i'll be back in the same boat
[22:54] <yoni_ub> it's an hosting website server
[22:54] <sich> i have problem with ie4linux
[22:54] <sich> that is screeshot
[22:54] <Soskel> an hosting?
[22:55] <marx2k> Hm.. this might not be the right channel to ask but... does anyone know how to set up a web server (Apache-based LAMP server) if your ISP blocks port 80?
[22:55] <sich> http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2117/fehleriy5.gif
[22:55] <soundray> kinglet: have some patience and repeat after 10 minutes or so.  Could you restate it?
[22:55] <yoni_ub> MrObvious, I plan to have several website on it and to manage mails using gmail
[22:55] <starfall87> lex0: this might be the problem, but I am not sure, you can install esound with sudo apt-get install esound
[22:55] <kinglet> soundray: ok mate! tnx
[22:55] <RyanPrior> daysleepr: Ubuntu is on a revolving update system. You'll get security patches as soon as they come out, and you'll get software upgrades once every 6 months if you do a distro upgrade.
[22:55] <yoni_ub> MrObvious, It's to configure the dns for the domain aladyo.be
[22:55] <lex0> ok so after installing esound what should i check out?
[22:56] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Ohh I see what you're doing. I got confused sorry.
[22:56] <portablejim> MrObvious: thanks for the link. Much easier to understand than the stickied forum post.
[22:56] <johnficc1> so I have a friend that has a thinkpad t30, z61m and a t40p and they all have the athoeros wifi card in them and they all go online but the signal is very low on them and at times to low to connect is there a way to fix this?
[22:56] <MrObvious> portablejim: YW.
[22:56] <kinglet> I have a problem with xVidCap, when I  captured and play the movie that is too fast! how can I get  down the palying speed?
[22:56] <daysleepr> so the <IP_ADDRESS> has all the security patches applied to make it as safe as <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:56] <Codenut> I cannot get my windows VNC client to connect to the server on my Ubuntu machine, suggestions?
[22:56] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: So you're trying to get a domain (aladyo.be) to your IP address then?
[22:56] <starfall87> lex0 you should trying playing sound in something, make sure that AIM still works, see if anything else works, but it might require a restart
[22:56] <RyanPrior> daysleepr: Yes, all security patches should be in place, but API changes and so on will not be updated until you upgrade to Hardy.
[22:56] <Andres_22rio4> Hello, why when i share a folder in a ntfs partition, the entire partition become shared?
[22:56] <lex0> alright
[22:56] <yoni_ub> MrObvious, Yes, that right!
[22:56] <lex0> i will try reboot
[22:57] <lex0> thanks for help
[22:57] <cva> I have a hard drive that won't mount after an ubuntu upgrade. can't fsck nor mount as it shows it busy. no change with a reboot, shows fine in dmesg and is not mounted nor in mtab, any ideas? it worked fine previously
[22:57] <phoul> Anyone here familure with pulse audio
[22:57] <sco50000> soundray, nolapic and nolapic noapic had the same effect. it just keeps hanging at "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd"
[22:57] <soundray> johnficc1: there is a really good way to fix this that I've personally tested: Swap the Atheros mini PCI cards against Intel 2200BG ones. The stock Ubuntu drivers for those are much better.
[22:57] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: correct.
[22:57] <yoni_ub> MrObvious, The domain is already forwarding to this IP
[22:57] <RyanPrior> !anybody | phoul
[22:57] <ubotu> phoul: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[22:57] <MrObvious> cva: Loose cable?
[22:57] <yoni_ub> MrObvious, The domain is already forwarding to this fixed IP
[22:57] <phoul> Because im never answered.
[22:57] <phoul> Anyways
[22:57] <lnx^> what would you guys use as a calendar software?
[22:57] <jimmygoon> So is Ekiga a good video conferencing software?
[22:57] <lnx^> (under ubuntu)
[22:57] <cva> MrObvious: nope, dmesg sees it just fine
[22:58] <phoul> When i try to run any of the pulse audio things (Like the sound controller) It says connection refused
[22:58] <RyanPrior> phoul: If nobody answers, it's because nobody knows the answer.
[22:58] <phoul> Ive followed all the steps in the wiki entry for it
[22:58] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Yeah I understand. So if I were to ping the domain it would ping your IP?
[22:58] <lnx^> i've been looking around but i can't decide which one's the best
[22:58] <lnx^> there seem to be just too many to try!
[22:58] <jimmygoon> how does skype compare to ekiga?
[22:58] <sco50000> soundray, nolapic and nolapic noapic had the same effect. it just keeps hanging at "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd"
[22:58] <soundray> sco50000: okay, let's give up on the theory of a minor hardware incompatibility. In recovery mode, run 'sudo update-rc.d -f cupsys remove'
[22:58] <RyanPrior> jimmygoon: Skype is better, but Ekiga is Free.
[22:58] <sco50000> soundray, okay
[22:58] <soundray> sco50000: you can reactivate cupsys later, this is just to see if it changes anything.
[22:58] <jimmygoon> RyanPrior, thats what I assumed would be the case
[22:58] <yoni_ub> MrObvious, Yes but right now, he doesn't succeed to resolve the aladyo.Be domain, because dns are not set correctly on the ubuntu server
[22:59] <kinglet> I have a problem with xVidCap, when I  captured and play the movie that is too fast! how can I get  down the palying speed?
[22:59] <OmegaCenti> pike_:  SPEAK TO ME! XD
[22:59] <RyanPrior> jimmygoon: Ekiga also has better Gnome integration, if that's important to you.
[22:59] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Hmm. There's gotta be a better solution. Who is providing the domain?
[22:59] <pike_> OmegaCenti: you manage to connect?
[22:59] <yoni_ub> Register.be
[22:59] <jimmygoon> RyanPrior, yeah, that is
[22:59] <johnficc1> soundray: thanks but I need a fix without changing the hardware
[22:59] <jimmygoon> RyanPrior, but skype on windows would be good too, since I'm leaving the other end with my parents..
[23:00] <soundray> johnficc1: is he using the stock driver that came with the ubuntu kernel?
[23:00] <RyanPrior> jimmygoon: You might be able to run Ekiga on Windows, I'm not sure.
[23:00] <Dr_Willis> skype to skype calls are free.   :)
[23:00] <encrypt3d> I have my laptop (gutsy 7.10) screens resolution set to 1680x1050. I also the lid closed and an external monitor 22" flat panel as the primary viewing device. Here is the problem that is driving me bananas:
[23:00] <encrypt3d> I open any window and when i maximize the window i think it is maximizing at 1024x768. Now if i move the window to the middle of the screen, i can maximize it to the 1680x1050, but the moment i click anywhere it goes right back to the smaller resolution.
[23:00] <encrypt3d> Is this a bug, or perhaps is there a quick fix that i am unable to find anything
[23:00] <johnficc1> soundray: yes
[23:00] <yoni_ub> MrObvious; and they doesn't allow me to manage the mx records, so i forward all the dns, on my server to customize the dns
[23:00] <jimmygoon> RyanPrior, oooh. you're right
[23:01] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Sorry I guess I misunderstood the problem initially. What I would suggest is going to no-ip.com and setting up a subdomain there and setting it to point to your IP, then setting your domain to point to your subdomain there.
[23:01] <OmegaCenti> pike_: nope
[23:01] <soundray> johnficc1: consult the docs (link coming in private message) -- look out for instructions on updating the madwifi driver
[23:01] <soundray> !wifi > johnficc1
[23:01] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: is your problem resolved?
[23:01] <bobby_> hello some help me.. :)  I just bought a seagate 500gb hard drive... and I am in GParted to partion it... and it says it is only 372GB...  I understand that a 500GB drive isn't exactly 500GB... a little less... but that is a lot less... someone help me out.. thank you!!
[23:01] <OmegaCenti> pike_: So far, openvpn for some reason needs a certificate file, which is not provided by the vpn of my computer science department, and vpnc needs some stupid thing called a group id.
[23:01] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: I have it set up at entercomm.no-ip.biz forwarding to my IP address now, and if I wanted a domain all I'd do is point it to that no-ip.biz address since they update their servers within 5 minutes.
[23:01] <yoni_ub> MrObvious; I don't need that, because i have a fixed IP
[23:02] <OmegaCenti> pike_: So far, I hate both.
[23:02] <daysleepr> Megaqwerty: i think so.  how can i be sure the security patches are applied?  is there a log or list of this?
[23:02] <daysleepr> Megaqwerty: i'm considering just un-installing firefox and then installing from the mozilla site... this enables auto-updates
[23:02] <Cpudan80> bobby_: That might be accurate
[23:02] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Ok, I guess I've helped as much as I can. Sorry I can't do more but it's worth looking into (even with a static IP) as it would seem simpler to me.
[23:02] <sco50000> soundray, now it doesn't show any cups stuff but it says starting powernowd, then somthing about CPU frequency scaling not supported, then it says [OK] and hangs
[23:02] <sybariten> would you know any , uhm, more or less graphical SAMBA share browsers? cant remember exact share names or so....
[23:02] <sybariten> running ubuntu live
[23:02] <soundray> bobby_: I agree -- this would be reason enough to complain for me.
[23:02] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: you could read the changelogs I suppose. But security patches are applied very quickly after they are made upstream.
[23:03] <jimmygoon> RyanPrior, :/ I didn't realize that skype hadn't embraced SIP
[23:03] <sybariten> in windows you can sort of "browse" a microsoft network, and when you find a share, you get asked for password... would like something like that
[23:03] <daysleepr> Megaqwerty: excellent, thank you for your help!
[23:03] <jimmygoon> there's gtalk too
[23:03] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: you're welcome
[23:03] <soundray> sco50000: is it a Xeon CPU?
[23:03] <daysleepr> Megaqwerty: ubuntu looks great, can't wait to jump in =)
[23:03] <MrObvious> !samba | sybariten
[23:03] <ubotu> sybariten: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[23:03] <Megaqwerty> daysleepr: :) have fun!
[23:03] <sco50000> soundray, it's an intel pentium 4
[23:03] <daysleepr> =)
[23:03] <bobby_> Cpudan80: 120GB Missing?
[23:03] <Cpudan80> bobby_: Actually - no that is way off
[23:03] <RyanPrior> jimmygoon: I'm hoping that VoIP and video-conference will move to XMPP. =D
[23:03] <soundray> sco50000: is it fairly old?
[23:03] <yoni_ub> MrObvious; but how did you configure your dns records for the entercomm.no-ip.biz ? that's my question, and my problem
[23:03] <Cpudan80> bobby_: You should have lost about 65 GB to the conversion
[23:03] <encrypt3d> anyone have a moment to work through a goofy window sizing issue?
[23:03] <sco50000> soundray, it's definetly not new
[23:04] <Cpudan80> Approx drive size should be 465gb bobby_
[23:04] <RyanPrior> !anyone | encrypt3d
[23:04] <ubotu> encrypt3d: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[23:04] <Cpudan80> Err sorry - 35 gb
[23:04] <sybariten> MrObvious: uhm... ok.. i was just curious if there was a simple tool. No energy to read long tutorials tonight...  :)
[23:04] <Cpudan80> bobby_: RMA it
[23:04] <bobby_> Cpudan80: i havn't part. it yet... it still is unpart.  that is just what it came up with...
[23:04] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: What I did was sign up for an account there, add a record, set the IP address to my broadband connection here at work and no-ip.com automatically updates it once you set itup.
[23:04] <bobby_> Cpudan80: what and how do you RMA it?
[23:04] <Andres_22rio4> Hello, why when i share a folder in a ntfs partition, the entire partition become shared?
[23:04] <pike_> OmegaCenti: i like vpnc pretty well. i never fool with a config file just provide the info each time
[23:04] <MrObvious> sybariten: This is a good RTFM case lol. Sorry I don't think there is.
[23:04] <Cpudan80> bobby_: Return the part - it's bad
[23:04] <yoni_ub> MrObvious; and you didn't configure anything on your server ?
[23:04] <marko-_-> can someone help me with this ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669629 PLEASE
[23:04] <bobby_> soundray: I thought things where off... lol
[23:05] <RyanPrior> Andres_22rio4: No, only the shared folder should be shared on the network.
[23:05] <cva> fyi, solved my own issue here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=264624
[23:05] <pike_> OmegaCenti: your it group should have groupid
[23:05] <Joeeigel> Hmm.. Im having a few errors during a Kubuntu install...
[23:05] <pike_> OmegaCenti: or maybe have them check settings on someones cisco vpn client app
[23:05] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: Nope. no-ip set up DNS. You can even ping that address and it will go to my router as it's set up correctly. No need for having a local DNS server at all.
[23:05] <bobby_> Cpudan80: even before i've partioned it?
[23:05] <OmegaCenti> pike_: cisco vpn client app?
[23:05] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: sorry, did you say you wanted to graphically browse samba shares?
[23:05] <yoni_ub> ok thank's
[23:05] <pike_> OmegaCenti: the windows solution
[23:05] <Cpudan80> bobby_: The drive is reporting that it isn't the right size - it's messed up
[23:05] <sybariten> MrObvious: ok ... i saw now that the System menu and then administration has a "shared folders" app ... but thats for sharing outwards from this machine. I want to mount external shares... but i'll google... thanks
[23:06] <MrObvious> yoni_ub: You're welcome. I hope that makes things simple for you. :)
[23:06] <Andres_22rio4> RyanPrior: sorry.. but doesnt work
[23:06] <lex0> star, esound did not work
[23:06] <bobby_> Cpudan80: ok... thank you.. :)
[23:06] <OmegaCenti> pike_: Ah, so you are telling me I am doomed.
[23:06] <maddog39> hallo, i need help with cups on my server, all the sudden i havent been able to print from it or anything, i cant even get to the admin interface what the heck is going on
[23:06] <sybariten> Megaqwerty: uhm, well, at least find them... i do most things commandline but if i can skip the hassle of figuring out server names and such, by browsing... sure, thats what i want
[23:06] <Cpudan80> bobby_: You can ask #hardware to confirm -- but I think the drive should show you about 465 GB
[23:06] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: the answer is simple actually
[23:06] <MrObvious> sybariten: IIRC smbmount is what you need. Google should tell you the exact syntax.
[23:06] <sybariten> Megaqwerty: ok?
[23:06] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: Places>Network
[23:06] <sybariten> okay thanks
[23:06] <bobby_> #hardware?

[23:07] <MrObvious> Megaqwerty: Wow no idea that was there. Thanks!
[23:07] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: is that what you were looking for?
[23:07] <sco50000> soundray, do you have any more ideas?
[23:07] <Joeeigel> Hmm.. Im having a few errors during a Kubuntu install...

[23:10] <soundray> sco50000: good. In recovery mode, run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and say No to the autodetect question
[23:10] <sybariten> Megaqwerty: hey! that was easy!
[23:10] <Andres_22rio4> Hello, why when i share a folder in a ntfs partition, the entire partition become shared?

[23:10] <pike_> OmegaCenti: needs root so ya do need to sudo vnpc --domain=something
[23:10] <soundray> sco50000: what does "X server driver" default to?
[23:10] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: :)
[23:10] <shingoki> so
[23:10] <sybariten> thanks Megaqwerty  ... yes thats what i was looking for... now, i wonder if these files have real paths i can use in the shell...
[23:10] <shingoki> turns out that gutsy gibbon DOESN'T ask, it just overwrites your MBR. This is not nice.
[23:10] <sco50000> soundray, vesa
[23:11] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: my router's working funny so I can't access the windows shares on my network :( So sorry if I can't be much help beyond that point.
[23:11] <sybariten> Megaqwerty: thats cool
[23:11] <soundray> sco50000: try changing that to ati, then accept all the defaults for the rest of the configuration

[23:12] <Megaqwerty> Codenut: or do you mean like over ssh?
[23:12] <sybariten> but bash didnt really like the smb:// thing
[23:12] <soundray> sco50000: when you're done, enter 'reboot'
[23:12] <Codenut> sorry it is over ssh
[23:13] <sco50000> soundray, ok
[23:13] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: yeah, I think you need to use smbmount (I lost my script that worked with that, so I'

[23:16] <RyanPrior> anrienord: It works fine, as long as you've got enough RAM.
[23:16] <soundray> x0rx0r: hardy will be a step forward for you.  It's an applet you can add to gnome-panel
[23:17] <RyanPrior> anrienord: VMware also works very well.
[23:17] <sco50000> soundray, is there some way i  can start x in recovery mode?
[23:17] <Slart> x0rx0r: make sure your acpi is recognized correctly.. check "dmesg | grep -i acpi"
[23:17] <anrienord> RyanPrior: have you tried to run ubuntu under ubuntu? i've got some unexpected problems in a quite ordinary setting
[23:17] <sco50000> soundray,  'startx' is the command right?
[23:18] <Megaqwerty> sco50000: startx
[23:18] <colobar> hi can please anyone help me? this is an emergency i think i just screwed up my windows instalation while trying to install ubuntu
[23:18] <soundray> sco50000: I haven't tried -- but it's worth a go
[23:18] <x0rx0r> megaqwerty, what's the name of it?
[23:18] <sybariten> Megaqwerty: now this is interesting. appearently i dont have smbfs, even. But still, the places-thing you told me works. i tried reading one of the remote files in nautilus, worked....
[23:18] <soundray> sco50000: use 'X' to really get only the X server
[23:18] <RyanPrior> anrienord: I actually haven't tried running Ubuntu under Ubuntu, but I have run Puppy, DSL, and Zenwalk without problems.
[23:18] <Starnestommy> colobar: what seems to be the problem?
[23:18] <Megaqwerty> x0rx0r: CPU Freqeuency Scaling monitor
[23:18] <anrienord> Flare183: what was the reason for switching to virtualbox?
[23:18] <pike_> colobar: ?
[23:19] <andresj> Does ubuntu support i386 platforms? (not i686)
[23:19] <Flare183> anrienord: i had to work with the terminal
[23:19] <Starnestommy> andresj: I think so
[23:19] <Flare183> anrienord: and virtualbox saved my settings
[23:19] <x0rx0r> slart, acpi reports ok
[23:19] <pike_> andresj: yeah well.. tech i think generic kernel is 486 but not sure of that
[23:19] <Flare183> andresj: yes

[23:20] <colobar> i was trying to install ubuntu on a usb external drive but upparently ubuntu decided to install a boot manager on my main hard disk (which btw is a raid array that ubuntu couldn't see, how the hell it install its boot manager there i cannot say)
[23:20] <andresj> I ask because apparently some packages are missing for i386...
[23:20] <sco50000> soundray, startx worked fine. i got a root gnome session. i never saw the login screen though
[23:20] <sybariten> Megaqwerty: yeah, well, basicly i need it to act like a real mounted unit... just the way i work in windows... so i installed it
[23:20] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: alright, cool
[23:20] <sybariten> .....aaaaaand we have working samba porn on a ubuntu USB live system
[23:20] <patrock> nice
[23:21] <soundray> sco50000: the login screen is brought up by gdm. startx bypasses gdm
[23:21] <sco50000> soundray, ok
[23:21] <Flare183> wha?
[23:21] <RyanPrior> andresj: See also https://launchpad.net/ubuntu (there's a list of supported architectures)
[23:21] <sco50000> soundray, so is gdm failing in some way?
[23:21] <soundray> sco50000: anyway, we've encircled your problem, but not pinpointed it yet
[23:21] <OmegaCenti> pike_: which does vpnc say: permission denied
[23:21] <pike_> colobar: you can a) boot from windows boot cd or floppy and run fdisk /mbr or something like that or b) make a small partition with grub on it and use a proper boot loader from now on
[23:21] <pike_> OmegaCenti: using sudo?
[23:22] <OmegaCenti> pike_: no
[23:22] <pike_> needs root
[23:22] <soundray> sco50000: no, I don't thing gdm is the problem -- if startx works, gdm shouldn't have troubles bringing X up
[23:22] <anrienord> Flare183: did you use the gpl'ed version or the proprietary one? i've just read about some (still unknown to me) limitations of the free version of virtualbox
[23:22] <colobar> ok coz i cant do the windows thing now coz i dont have the cd and the raid drivers right now how do i do the second?
[23:22] <Flare183> anrienord: i used the one that is in the repos.

[23:25] <sco50000> soundray, i'm dual booting
[23:25] <Megaqwerty> sybariten: hopefully, that will help you.
[23:25] <pike_> colobar: use livecd and apt-get gparted.  make a partition logical about 5-10MB and then run grub-install to it or copy over /boot from livecd i suppose then just follow normall recovery
[23:26] <pike_> colobar: its not the easiest exp for someone new to linux.. but not horrible

[23:28] <diseaser> ubotu: When you first start wearing a turban, probably the most common mistake is wrapping it too tight.  You have to allow the head to breathe.

[23:29] <thanos0101> I was wondering if there is a need/advantage in using restricted video drivers?
[23:30] <Megaqwerty> thanos0101: to get hardware 3d-acceleration, restricted drivers are the only way to go right now
[23:30] <jonny239> hi ppl can any1 tell me how to access root from the login window of ubuntu im new to linux
[23:30] <thanos0101> I have swapped an ati 7000 for a 9200.
[23:30] <Starnestommy> thanos0101: the restricted drivers work better than the open-source ones because they come from the card's maker
[23:30] <Turel> hi all how can i activate bind9 server ???
[23:30] <Megaqwerty> thanos0101: that includes the ability to run compiz
[23:30] <thanos0101> how do I go about that?
[23:30] <astro76> thanos0101: 3d support usually
[23:30] <OmegaCent1> Alright, guess my connection broke.

[23:30] <OmegaCent1> pike_: how do you tell if vpnc was succesful in connecting?
[23:30] <Megaqwerty> thanos0101: installing restricted drivers? By using the restricted-manager
[23:31] <Starnestommy> AC0RN: unrar?
[23:31] <thanos0101> just download from the ati?  its actually a cheapo connect 3d card.

[23:31] <gustavold> I'd like to disable Xgl, it is taking so much memory. How can I do it?
[23:31] <OmegaCent1> pike_: uhhuh.... well... would it tell me if the password didn't work?
[23:32] <thanos0101> ...msg, your hardware does not need any restricted drivers.
[23:32] <OmegaCent1> pike_: also, if I wanted to connect to something like CPSC\$USERNAME ($username being myusername), how would I do that in like nautilus?
[23:32] <julabask>  hey does any one know of a dock that is compatible with amd64 systems
[23:32] <thanos0101> I can enable desktop effects, so 3d acceleration is allready working optimally?
[23:32] <pike_> OmegaCent1: yeah itll complain about pass or whatever it usually only doesnt say anything if youre connected
[23:32] <Megaqwerty> thanos0101: it would appear so

[23:38] <dublinfireman> if someone gets a minute I need help with an atheros card installation?
[23:38] <OmegaCent1> pike_: ssh will do irc?
[23:38] <Megaqwerty> p34r: the first user ubuntu creates (being you probably, is automatically added to this group)
[23:38] <julabask>  hey does any one know of an osx like dock that is compatible with amd64 systems
[23:38] <pike_> OmegaCent1: irssi over ssh
[23:38] <Cleanser23> Slart, see the problem is X boots but then the driver or res is messed up so i get an orange LED, so i am going to install the proprietary driver for the card so it will work
[23:38] <psy> o.o
[23:38] <OmegaCent1> pike_: ah, where do you ssh to?
[23:39] <Megaqwerty> julabask: avant-window-navigator
[23:39] <psy> auto connect...
[23:39] <Cleanser23> Slart, and i cant configure my network in single user mode
[23:39] <magpie> it says the card is not supported but on the compiz site it says it is
[23:39] <sybariten> Megaqwerty: no, i know... i just meant that... the method of browsing the shares via "places". You know, it seems its using some kind of special solution, gnomeVFS or so.... and its not like "the real thing". so i prefer smbfs
[23:39] <p34r> Megaqwerty:
[23:39] <p34r> err
[23:39] <OmegaCent1> pike_: setting up irssi is going to be interesting... do you use screens?
[23:39] <p34r> adduser: The group `admin' does not exist.
[23:39] <patogen> Is there an easy way that if you from a shell have logged in to a computer via ssh to copy a file to your home computer from there?
[23:39] <pike_> !scp | patogen
[23:39] <ubotu> patogen: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[23:39] <magnetron> sybariten: smbfs is deprecated since years ago. switch to CIFS
[23:39] <Starnestommy> patogen: scp?
[23:39] <tarelerulz> I deleted a swap use fdisk for my Gentoo system on my extended partition and now my  when I boot I get grub error 22?  Is there way to fix this ? use a livecd ?
[23:39] <Megaqwerty> p34r: huh...what version of ubuntu are you running?
[23:39] <ineti> hi
[23:40] <p34r> Megaqwerty: the latest server
[23:40] <julabask> Megaqwerty, do you know where i can get instructions on how to install this i dont see it in my package manager. is their a repository website i can add to download it.
[23:40] <Megaqwerty> p34r: does your user have sudo access?
[23:40] <p34r> Megaqwerty: i'm under root right now
[23:40] <Shpook> Okay, I can't seem to remember how, but isn't there a way to set Update Manager to automatically download and install updates?
[23:40] <patogen> Starnestommy: I'll look into it ... only used linux for servers before ... and never needed that feature until now ;)
[23:40] <pike_> OmegaCent1: not really. i suppose i should get used to using screen
[23:40] <Megaqwerty> p34r: right, but does your regular user have sudo access?
[23:40] <ineti> iam running mythtv on my ubuntu box as backend and frontend....always when iam watchin live tv, mythtv records the stream until i change the channel, when the channel is changend mythtv starts to record that channel to, any ideas to stop that?
[23:40] <patogen> Starnestommy: Thank you :)
[23:40] <p34r> Megaqwerty: i don't think i ever made a regular user yet
[23:41] <magpie> any advice
[23:41] <Cleanser23> is there a way to boot ubuntu into text mode without booting into single user mode?
[23:41] <Megaqwerty> p34r: then I'm completely unfamiliar with your configuration.
[23:41] <Slart> Cleanser23: hmm.. well.. I guess you could do something.. keep x from starting.. perhaps rename the xorg.conf.. but that doesn't seem like a good ide
[23:41] <Slart> idea
[23:41] <Megaqwerty> julabask: install what? sorry, I'm helping a lot of people.
[23:41] <p34r> Megaqwerty: ...it's just a raw installation?
[23:41] <Shpook> ineti: Try the #mythtv channel, I'm sure they will know for sure.
[23:41] <OmegaCent1> Does anyone know if the harddrive failure problem with ubuntu get solved?
[23:41] <Starnestommy> p34r: add them manually to /etc/sudoers using visudo?
[23:42] <julabask> Megaqwerty, it's allrigth, avant windows manager
[23:42] <LjL> OmegaCent1: ?
[23:42] <Megaqwerty> p34r: ah, give me a second
[23:42] <Shpook> OmegaCent1: Not sure, I know there was a fix to keep the HDD from staying spooled though.
[23:42] <LjL> !hdbug | this?
[23:42] <ubotu> this?: Ubuntu does *not* modify the settings that affect HD lifespans by default. An analysis from an Ubuntu Technical Board member and ACPI expert can be found at http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77672.html (See https://launchpad.net/bug59695.html and http://tinyurl.com/2vyrft for more information)
[23:42] <Megaqwerty> p34r: that's the other more complex option, yes. editing /etc/sudoers
[23:42] <OmegaCent1> Laptop problem of the headf mountin and unmounting many times per minute caused premature harddrive failure.
[23:42] <p34r> Megaqwerty: well i just simply want to set up a sudo account for me (i'm the admin) and my friend
[23:43] <LjL> OmegaCent1: see above
[23:43] <Bubbadood> when I try mounting a USB drive (because I need to replay a log) I get an error saying mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab (anyone advice) ?
[23:43] <OmegaCent1> LjL will do :)
[23:43] <Megaqwerty> p34r: then yes, since the admin group doesn't exist, just add them to /etc/sudoers
[23:43] <Shpook> OmegaCent1: That's right, it was the mounting problem, not spooling. :-)
[23:43] <jtaby> hey, how can i change the color that the current directory is shown in, as well as the color of directories when i run `ls` ?
[23:43] <jtaby> to orange?
[23:43] <p34r> Megaqwerty: /etc/sudoers doesn't exist
[23:44] <Megaqwerty> p34r: is sudo installed even?
[23:44]  * Slart has a /etc/sudoers
[23:44] <p34r> Megaqwerty: uhh, shouldn't it come with ubutntu?
[23:44] <p34r> ubuntu
[23:44] <Megaqwerty> p34r: that's what I thought...but check just in case
[23:44] <Megaqwerty> julabask: getting the thread, hold on
[23:45] <p34r> Megaqwerty: how would i check?
[23:45] <Megaqwerty> p34r: apt-get install sudo
[23:45] <Megaqwerty> p34r: or dpkg -l | grep sudo
[23:45] <p34r> Megaqwerty: yeah it's there
[23:45] <p34r> nothing upgraded
[23:45] <lusepuster> have others in here tried to install tcl/tk8.5 and have it work w amsn in gutsy? it seems that the tcl/tk8.5 I get from tcl.tk is somehow broken, but I might have forgotten some important step? I sooooo want antialiased fonts!

[23:46] <Pirate_Hunter> hello everyone
[23:46] <neverblue> con-man, as in #winehq ?
[23:47] <con-man> neverblue: they dont answer
[23:47] <LjL> OmegaCent1, i believe the devs when they say there is not a problem.
[23:47] <p34r> Megaqwerty: hmm why is setting up a user to access ssh so difficult :P
[23:47] <neverblue> con-man, then you are going to have to be patient :)
[23:47] <creature> Hello. I've just tried booting after the install (using the alternative installer for the more flexible partitioner), and it errors out with "Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/mapper/vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!". So, how do I troubleshoot and how do I fix?
[23:48] <OmegaCent1> LJL there is a problem whenever the default harddrive parameters load/unload the heads too often, which is stated inside one of the forums from the ubotu link you gave me.
[23:48] <Megaqwerty> p34r: it generally isn't. I never had this problem on my 6.06 server (as far as I can remember)
[23:48] <pike_> con-man: just leave it open youll come back tomorrow and theyll be a comment for ya
[23:48] <Pirate_Hunter> well I'll go straight to the point, finally got my N73 and I'm just wondering is there any apps in ubuntu I can use to connect my phone?

[23:49] <julabask> Megaqwerty, thanks
[23:49] <Megaqwerty> p34r: but you don't have an /etc/sudoers file?
[23:49] <Megaqwerty> julabask: np
[23:49] <pike_> pornsakb: i dont think so ive never done that with the debian installer its usually just the basic metapackages i thinkg
[23:50] <p34r> Megaqwerty: ah wait it's there, woops
 key was messing me up
[23:50] <MotherDear> Could I have a few minutes of someone's time?
[23:50] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron: Ooooh N95 lucky you *buy me one* but which app are you using?
[23:50] <p34r> sorry about that it's there :P
[23:50] <Megaqwerty> p34r: well, at least I know ubuntu didn't screw up.
[23:50] <p34r> hehe yeah
[23:50] <magnetron> eubey: there's an adapter that lets you use a CF card as a IDE device
[23:50] <Megaqwerty> I was getting worried there

[23:51] <MotherDear> doesn't do anything.
[23:51] <neverblue> MotherDear, read the previously posted message to you
[23:51] <magnetron> eubey: what about CF to IDE?
[23:51] <pornsakb> Bsically I want to slim down the size of the installed OS - is there anyway to do that?
[23:51] <Megaqwerty> p34r: (it just has some extra protection as opposed to just a regular text editor)
[23:51] <p34r> Megaqwerty: so my question is how do i set up a username 'foo', password 'bar', and put it into this sudoers?
[23:51] <eubey> magnetron, i wonder if you can daisy-chain a usb-cf to cf-ide haha
[23:52] <magnetron> pornsakb: you could install xubuntu oro ubuntu minimal, they are slimmed down
[23:52] <Megaqwerty> p34r: just add to sudoers:
[23:52] <Megaqwerty> foo    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[23:52] <p34r> Megaqwerty: and the password?
[23:52] <Megaqwerty> p34r: and run adduser foo

[23:53] <pornsakb> ubuntu-minimal looks about right - thanks :)
[23:53] <Megaqwerty> Gekkomon_Shogun: and it will allow you to enable it by going to System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects

[23:59] <OmegaCent1> Slart: Do you have any experience with vpn's?
[23:59] <aaronm> OmegaCent1: you can use the Gnome Places-> Connect to Server which will make an icon on your desktop to any FTP/SMB/SSH/Etc shares. Other wise you can mount it via the command line.

[19:22] <IdleOne> How is that helpful?
[19:23] <knome> people are abusing the !lang factoids
[19:23] <knome> join, type !lang every time
[19:24] <IdleOne> ahh I see
[19:24] <knome> the text probably needs tweaking, but +1 for the factoid itself
[19:25] <IdleOne> I would suggest perhaps a factoid about how to add a channel to autojoin
[19:25] <IdleOne> or a link to a wiki that explains
[19:26] <knome> that would work as well, but for people who only sporadically use u channels, or use the freenode chat, that does not just completely work
[19:26] <IdleOne> true
[19:27] <IdleOne> Well if the same user is doing it 10 times a day I can see how it would be annoying
[19:28] <IdleOne> if it is sporadic... :)
[19:28] <knome> well, there are a few users in #xubuntu doing that
[19:28] <knome> or was, until the got noticed about it enough times
[19:32] <knome> so, should i ask the poster to work on the factoid and ask about something specific from him?
[19:32] <knome> (he's from #xubuntu)
[19:32] <knome> can also ask him to join here, if you want
[19:33] <IdleOne> I am really not sure that factoid is needed.
[19:33] <IdleOne> but as it was submitted, it is not very clear.
[19:33] <knome> as i said, i'm +1 for the factoid :)
[19:34] <knome> it's not that it's totally useless and not that the factoid DB would fill up and no more factoids could get in ;)
[19:38] <IdleOne> agreed, well it isn't up to me to decide what factoids get accepted.
[19:40] <IdleOne> oops
[19:40] <knome> heh
[19:40] <IdleOne> that needs some fixing
[19:41] <knome> mm-hmm
[19:41] <knome> agreed
[19:41] <knome> and needs something about web clients
[19:41] <IdleOne> feel free to edit it knome :)
[19:42] <knome> will do that when not any alcohol in blood
[19:42] <IdleOne> haha
[19:42] <IdleOne> good idea
[19:42] <knome> always
[20:28] <jpds> OK.
[20:32] <jpds> blueyed is acting weird in #launchad
[20:32] <jpds> #launchpad*
[20:32] <jpds> Or lunchpad, hmm.
[20:37] <MichealH> Sorry about that
[20:37] <MichealH> I was going to like to the ubuntu manual in !patience ?
[20:37] <MichealH> *link
[20:37] <MichealH> Is that a good Idea?
[20:38] <IdleOne> there is already a !manual factoid
[20:38] <MichealH> *Ahh Okay
[20:39] <MichealH> But we could add "You also could look at the Ubuntu Manual - www.ubuntu-manual.org
[20:39] <MichealH> To the end?
[20:40] <IdleOne>  I suppose so.
[20:40] <knome> or "try searching url, url, url or !manual
[20:41] <MichealH> Can I send an idea of what I think should be added?
[20:41] <IdleOne> of course
[20:41] <IdleOne> all ideas are always welcome
[20:42] <MichealH> !no patience is Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com , http://ubuntuforums.org , http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com or look at the !manual factoid.
[20:42] <MichealH> I added commas insated of "url or url or url"
[20:43] <MichealH> What do you think?
[20:44] <IdleOne> The manual factoid is usually given to users who clearly demonstrate a lack of even the basic functions/commands
[20:45] <IdleOne> but one of the Powers that be will make a decision
[20:46] <MichealH> If its a easy question like "How do I mount a partition" and they keep going the !manual section will come in handy
[20:47] <IdleOne> that is why there is a factoid for almost everything. !mount for example. We can't always point a user to the manual.
[20:48] <MichealH> Well, that
[20:48] <MichealH> I understand what you are saying
[20:51] <jussi> !patience
[20:51] <jussi> the reason its or iirc, is because some cients suck at parsing url's with commas
[20:52] <jussi> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchang
[20:52] <jussi> hrrr
[20:53] <jussi> hrm. but still, not really liking the manual in there right now
[20:53] <IdleOne> well the "or" doesn't have to be changed but the question I am asking myself is !manual really an appropriate link to give to a user who is being not so patient.
[20:53] <jussi> IdleOne: exactly my pint
[20:53] <jussi> point even
[20:54] <MichealH> IdleOne: Its a good point
[20:54] <IdleOne> besides we have a !manual so I would lean towards not adding it
[20:54] <MichealH> But is any link Okay for a user who is inpatient?
[20:54] <jussi> I think we leave it for now
[20:54] <MichealH> Okay
[20:54] <MichealH> Thanks
[20:54] <IdleOne> MichealH: yes, !patience is
[20:59] <IdleOne> jussi: where do I refer a user who would like to be an op ?
[20:59] <IdleOne> in an a ubuntu channel
[21:10] <IdleOne> found it.
