[07:02] <ardchoille> zyth: That won't help
[07:02] <zyth> ardchoille, weird, I can run scripts not as root
[07:02] <zerodni> pizza, apt-get remove --purge package name
[07:02] <cmdrlan1> zero: this is what I am looking at.....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/cmdrlanc/stuff/Screenshot.png
[07:03] <Jackz> Okay, now, my folder has a space in its name.. will this pose a problem when trying to copy it?
[07:03] <ardchoille> zyth: a script owned by root, sudo chmod +x will enable it executable for the root user.
[07:03] <Trixsey> zyth, I could run it.. but it doesn't work still.. it only shows spash screen
[07:03] <Trixsey> zyth, just the same as only using "matlab &"
[07:04] <needtoknow> 1 gb goes to swap
[07:04] <needtoknow> Use 1 gb swap
[07:04] <ardchoille> zyth: You would need to sudo chmod a+x to make it executable for all users.
[07:04] <zyth> ardchoille, ahh
[07:04] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do you have a dual boot system on this thing or is it all alone
[07:05] <cmdrlanc> zero: I was going for dual boot when all hell broke loose
[07:05] <zerodni> and sorry cmdrlanc i forgot you use live cd's now to install
[07:05] <zerodni> ah do you have windows on it now
[07:05] <Talaman> or what file calls the gdm?
[07:05] <Trixsey> I dont get this at all
[07:06] <needtoknow> MAKE SURE YOU USE 1 GB SWAP
[07:06] <ardchoille> Anyone gnome which widget set or theme is used in gnome when the gnome-settings-caemon isn't running? It's the same theme as the gdm screen uses.
[07:06] <needtoknow> WHAT EVER AMOUNT YOU WANT YOU UBUNTU TO BE ON /
[07:06] <needtoknow> :-) all set
[07:06] <|_SpY_|> anybody knows how i install kiba-dock ?
[07:06] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes, but windows won't boot either now
[07:06] <zooted_> Hello. Where can I find instructions for rebuilding my initrd with LVM support?
[07:07] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, yeah the mbr was messed up do you care to wipe it out
[07:07] <cmdrlanc> zero: as last resort
[07:08] <zerodni> well if you click the format boxes that should fix it it trying to mount / to an unformated system
[07:08] <|_SpY_|> anybody knows how i install kiba-dock ?
[07:08] <zerodni> but you may want to try to recover your windows first
[07:09] <cmdrlanc> or at least get my mail out of there...
[07:09] <bwlang> zooted_: man mkinitramfs
[07:09] <cmdrlanc> zero, can't find windows disk...
[07:09] <zerodni> in the ternaml you can do sudo mkdir /mnt/hda
[07:10] <Sephiroth> Alright, I'm trying to install this package (http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/graphics/gtk-engines-pixmap) through apt-get, but I'm getting a "This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" message in my Terminal. What did I do wrong? :
[07:10] <zerodni> and then do mount /dev/hda /mnt/hda
[07:10] <cmdrlanc> zero, I think I already did that...
[07:10] <bwlang> Spehiroth: are you pinning?
[07:10] <zerodni> can you get in to that folder
[07:10] <Sephiroth> pinning? O.o
[07:11] <cmdrlanc> zero, yes, can get into windows folder....or could before reboot
[07:11] <tim167> |_SpY_|: i'm going to try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268645
[07:12] <zerodni> ok then you windows part is still there but your mbr is just mesed up now you could try booting to a windows disk and runing fdisk /mbr to repair your mbr
[07:12] <bwlang> Sephiroth: i guess not...  if you have more than one release (eg edgy)named in your  sources.list this can happen.
[07:12] <pizza> what's the syntax for changing permissions on folders/files to allow me to edit them without being root?
[07:12] <bwlang> pizza: man chmod
[07:12] <cmdrlanc> zero, can't find win boot disk
[07:12] <zerodni> but that is about all i know on the winndows side dont know much about windows
[07:12] <pizza> chmod what
[07:12] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[07:12] <asdez> Can somebody help me @ Ubuntu installation? I have a big error :(
[07:13] <Sephiroth> bwlang: The thing is, I had to reinstall Ubuntu, and I'm trying to reinstall the packages I had on here. :p
[07:13] <makuseru> hi, when i "apt-get update" i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6674/ how can i fix this?
[07:13] <ashaffer> How can I view my windows network in workgroup mshome through terminal?
[07:13] <zerodni> ashaffer, smbmount :p
[07:13] <seravitae> use smb
[07:13] <seravitae> yeah
[07:13] <asdez> I have a problem with the XServer at the installation of UBuntu
[07:14] <seravitae> Is there any program for benchmarking my pc?
[07:14] <cypher1> ashaffer, you can try the smb* comments
[07:14] <Lucifel> What's a good replacement for PeerGuardian 2?
[07:14] <bwlang> Sephiroth: better send the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/preferences to a pastebin
[07:14] <ashaffer> okay, I'll check that out
[07:14] <mattwj2005> Ubuntu is awesome :)
[07:15] <cypher1> ashaffer, like smbtree scans your network for smb servers
[07:15] <bwlang> seravitae: bonnie++ is good for testing your disk... there are some graphics benchmarking programs... depends on what you're interested in.
[07:17] <mattwj2005> who would ever image that something so good could be free :)
[07:17] <mattwj2005> *imagine
[07:17] <zerodni> mattwj2005, debian about 15 years go :p i kid
[07:18] <killux> i need help with beryl on dapper
[07:18] <mattwj2005> good point good point
[07:18] <Gks2> what u need killux
[07:18] <killux> everytime i try to load it it fall backs to metacity
[07:18] <killux> I dont know why
[07:18] <killux> i have 3D accel for my ati card
[07:19] <killux> and i followed the instrctions on beryls wiki
[07:19] <Gks2> same thing here
[07:19] <eric_> wtf?
[07:19] <tim167> wow
[07:19] <Gks2> when i change a theme i've download on gnome-themes-manager
[07:19] <Jackz> Deadly.
[07:19] <Gks2> crasch
[07:19] <pianoboy3333> netsplit?
[07:19] <shorty114> eric_, netsplit
[07:19] <cmdrlanc> ALL: zero?
[07:19] <Gks2> *crash
[07:19] <pianoboy3333> !netsplit
[07:20] <cpk1> that was a good one
[07:20] <zerodni> im here :p
[07:20] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[07:20] <shorty114> cpk1, yup :D
[07:20] <Jackz> cp: omitting directory `/media/hdb1/WC3'
[07:20] <Jackz>  It's omitting the only thing I want to copy!
[07:20] <eric_> what is netsplit??
[07:20] <Sephiroth> bwlang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6675/ and the other file doesn't exist.
[07:20] <cpk1> !netsplit
[07:20] <tim167> yeah what netsplit ?
[07:20] <cmdrlanc> zero: that command didn't work...cannot see files
[07:20] <Gks2> You tried to update your dapper?
[07:21] <Deaglebear> hey what is the best vnc client to use
[07:21] <killux> anyone know how i can tell why this happens?
[07:21] <Jackz> cp: omitting directory `/media/hdb1/WC3'
[07:21] <Jackz> Why would my folder be omitted from the copy?
[07:21] <zerodni> try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda /mnt/hda make sure that folder is there in /mnt/hda
[07:21] <shorty114> Deaglebear, you could try openvnc
[07:21] <Deaglebear> is it secure?
[07:22] <Deaglebear> and can i access my linuxbox then from windows?
[07:22] <cmdrlanc> zero: long error message
[07:22] <killux> how can i tell why beryl keeps falling back on metacity
[07:22] <Gonzo> hey guys, is it possible to skip the partitioning step in the installer?
[07:22] <killux> ??
[07:22] <cmdrlanc> zero: wrong fs type
[07:22] <Gonzo> or to run the installer in text mode with the live cd
[07:22] <zerodni> hmm is it windows xp
[07:22] <Gonzo> i wanna use a swap file instead of swap partition
[07:23] <bwlang> Sephiroth: what happend when you do an apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade?
[07:23] <zerodni> Gonzo, you are using a swap file :p everything in linux is a file
[07:23] <eric_> whats the difference between apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade ??
[07:23] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes XP home
[07:23] <pizza> haha, read/write by all is 666
[07:23] <Gonzo> ... well the installer wants me to actualy create a swap aprtition
[07:23] <Gonzo> and i dont want that
[07:24] <Sephiroth> bwlang: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[07:24] <Deaglebear> shorty114 is it secure and can i acess it from windows
[07:24] <killux> then dont use a swap partition
[07:24] <Gonzo> the installer wont let me
[07:24] <bwlang> Gonzo: go ahead... just allocate the file using dd if=/dev/zero ... then mkswap on the file then do swapon file then add it to your fstab
[07:24] <shorty114> Deaglebear, i'm not sure about the secure part (check the website) but i think it's for windows too, yes
[07:24] <Gonzo> i did that
[07:24] <mau> has anybody had luck with a Radeon X800 XL monitor card?
[07:24] <Gonzo> but the installer will not let me install without me creating a swap partition
[07:25] <zerodni> upgrade upgrades just the packages you installed and dist-upgrades installs new packages for the distro
[07:25] <Lucifel> Could anyone recommend a replacement for PeerGuardian?
[07:25] <killux> how can i tell if 3d accel is working
[07:25] <bwlang> Gonzo: only if you don't have enough ram...  if you have to you can drop into a shell and do it in there... never tried it
[07:25] <Gonzo> i have 2gig...
[07:25] <zerodni> hey cmdrlanc see if it is mounted in /media
[07:25] <Gonzo> whats the shell command to kick off the installer?
[07:25] <psykidellic> Ok, so I am manuall trying to setup my network card like mentioned at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=3#ifconfig_route but I am getting the same error as: http://murrey.inferential.com/pipermail/pplug/2005-March/000074.html . I did modprobe 3c59x and the module is correctly loaded but still the network card is not detected!
 i dont understand the difference...
[07:26] <psykidellic> so, is the only option left for me is to compile the kernel or the module?
[07:26] <Sephiroth> bwlang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6678/
[07:26] <cmdrlanc> zero: no..media empty
[07:26] <bwlang> Sephiroth: hmm  and sudo apt-get install gtk-engines-pixmap doesn't work?   works fine for me...
[07:26] <Gonzo> ...
[07:26] <zerodni> eric_, less say you have a server and you want to make sure nothing gets installed or removed but you want to do secury updates apt-get upgrade is what you want to do
[07:27] <eric_> ok
[07:27] <Sephiroth> bwlang: E: Couldn't find package gtk-engines-pixmap
[07:27] <eric_> ohh ok
[07:27] <zerodni> eric_, but let say you want to upgrade to  to etch or edgy or what ever you want the new packages that come with the new version
[07:27] <killux> does anyone here use beryl????
[07:28] <bwlang> Sephiroth: i'm stumped.... your sources list looks fine to me... the update works, but you can't actually install.  maybe someone else has an idea.
[07:28] <zerodni> dude stain lee was on heroes
[07:28] <eric_> so dist-update is for updating your distro only?
[07:28] <zerodni> that is awsome
[07:28] <zerodni> eric_, not nessary but in genral yes
[07:28] <killux> i need help from a beryl master!
[07:28] <eric_> oh, i see
[07:29] <eric_> thank you <zerodni>
[07:29] <zerodni> eric_, np
[07:29] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: no, media empty
[07:29] <zerodni> hmm cmdrlanc
[07:29] <bwlang> eric_ dist-upgrade can do deletion of other packages to get things working... sometimes you need that.
[07:29] <eric_> but that deletion is automatic?
[07:29] <zerodni> bwlang, yep you are correct
[07:30] <eric_> or does it require input from the user
[07:30] <bwlang> eric_: it asks first.. .but yes
[07:30] <eric_> oh ok ok..
[07:30] <cmdrlanc> zero: blanky had me mount something to media before, but it went away when I had to reboot
[07:30] <zerodni> yeah becase of the live cd
[07:30] <eric_> so then, what if i wanted to upgrade my edgy 6.10 to 7.04 alpha herd 5; how would i do that??
[07:31] <eric_> i mean herd 4
[07:31] <bytewalker> are there any repositoryies i can add to get stuff like nethack and tuxracer?
[07:31] <xavice> Woohoo.
[07:32] <cmdrlanc> zero: if you know what he did...mounting whatever to media worked.
 HOw can you hide all desktop icons
 besides removing them
[07:32] <zerodni> try sudo mount /dev/hda /media
[07:33] <mtholdenss> anyone here run myth tv?
[07:33] <radar1976> help!!  grrr I'm pulling my hair out!
[07:33] <radar1976> I have setup my v-hosts on apache 2 but they are only loading the _default_ host
[07:33] <mau> hey mthoid, i'm doing research now in building one
[07:33] <mau> myth tv that is
[07:33] <mneptok> d00d: gconf-editor -> apps -> nautilus
[07:33] <radar1976> I have reloaded the config...tested everything!
[07:34] <radar1976> I even copied the config from the original server
[07:34] <radar1976> why is it not working???
[07:34] <poningru> radar1976: what kinda v-host?
[07:34] <mneptok> radar1976: what does apache's access log tell you?
[07:34] <poningru> radar1976: user-dir?
[07:34] <radar1976> no user-dir
[07:34] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[07:35] <zerodni> i just want to say that tivodec is the best package ever
[07:35] <radar1976> I'm hosting some websites..
[07:35] <radar1976> www. websites
[07:35] <radar1976> the logs are not showing anything
[07:35] <poningru> radar1976: did you link it to site-availble?
[07:35] <IRChris> anyone can help me with su root?
[07:35] <poningru> can you describe all the steps you took?
[07:35] <cmdrlanc> zero: am I losing you to heroes here?
[07:35] <radar1976> I didn't use that config I have a vhosts.conf file which is an include in apache2.conf
[07:35] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, no your not its off now
[07:35] <poningru> IRCArch: whats wrong?
[07:35] <zerodni> lol
[07:36] <IRChris> well poningru, it asks for a root password
[07:36] <zerodni> the mount command should work was it hda that he had you do
[07:36] <IRChris> for su
[07:36] <d00d> mneptok, thanks
[07:36] <IRChris> and it never asked for one
[07:36] <cmdrlanc> zeor: yeah..I think so
[07:36] <oreth> where is wine's file system?
[07:36] <radar1976> webmin will show all the vhosts but when I reload /restart apache, typing the website results in the default root server page
[07:36] <poningru> IRCArch: sudo su
[07:36] <xavice> Just a question, does anyone know any games similar to NetHack that is/are worth trying?
[07:37] <IRChris> poningru: i was trying to install wine, so i could use sudo su commands for that?
[07:37] <mtholdenss> mau, me and my dad want to do a project together and build a small box pc with ubuntu on it with myth tv like a media box, so im looking into it too!
[07:37] <poningru> IRCArch: yes
[07:37] <poningru> IRCArch: how are you installing wine?
[07:37] <IRChris> by a terminal?
[07:37] <zooted_> Is anyone here running 6.10 on an LVM install?  I need to see a proper LVM /boot/grub/menu.lst, and a proper /etc/fstab.  If someone could post their setup to a pastebin I would greatly appreciate it.
[07:37] <poningru> yes but what command?
[07:37] <poningru> also why the terminal?
[07:37] <poningru> why not synaptic
[07:37] <poningru> !install
[07:38] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[07:38] <poningru> err
[07:38] <IRChris> lol, sorry it was 2 days ago i tried this
[07:38] <IRChris> hrm..
[07:38] <poningru> !software
[07:38] <ubotu> A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents and !Offline
[07:38] <poningru> yeah thats it
[07:38] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, right now the best thing i can tell you is to reboot start from scratch on the live cd go in to mycomputer and see you can find the hda drive there right click on it and mount it
[07:38] <poningru> IRCArch: ^^^
[07:38] <poningru> what ubotu said after I typed in !software
[07:38] <IRChris> i tried to look for wine on the package manager, but there was a long list that had nothing with wine :/
[07:38] <zerodni> also cmdrlanc does the windows install take the whole harddrive
[07:38] <radar1976> typing www.thefishypond.com is suppose to load a webpage but it is loading the root dri
[07:38] <radar1976> err dir
[07:39] <IRChris> brb
[07:40] <Sephiroth> bwlang: I figured it out.. Apparently I needed to enable the 'universe' repository.
[07:40] <cmdrlanc> zero: no....not even close
[07:40] <zerodni> ah ok good
[07:40] <cmdrlanc> brb
[07:41] <IRChris> is there a specific page on installing wine?
[07:42] <IRChris> i'd like to run wine, if so i wouldnt need to dual boot
[07:42] <kungfugoat> anybody have any info on setting up a pptp VPN client?
[07:42] <poningru> !wine | IRCArch
[07:42] <ubotu> IRCArch: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:42] <poningru> err
[07:42] <poningru> !wine | IRChris
[07:42] <IRChris> lol poningru  its alright
[07:42] <ubotu> IRChris: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.  I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[07:47] <poningru> IRChris: yes through sudo apt-get install
[07:47] <poningru> but why?
[07:47] <poningru> just use synaptic
[07:47] <poningru> for new people its better
[07:47] <poningru> and easier
[07:47] <bytewalker> kk 1 more thing.. whats the metapackage to install all the stuff i need to compile c programs? ( and should i get gcc or gcc 4.0)
[07:47] <IRChris> when i tried the package manager it wouldnt come up
[07:48] <Nergar> mneptok, java 6 plugin
[07:48] <mneptok> Nergar: not yet in the repos
[07:48] <IRChris> nothing about wine would come up though so thats my problem :S
[07:48] <zerodni> bytewalker, apt-get install build-essesales
[07:48] <zerodni> wait i misspelled
[07:48] <Nergar> but were can i get it?
[07:48] <mneptok> build-essential
[07:48] <zerodni> build-essential
[07:48] <zerodni> ah beat me :p
[07:49] <IRChris> poningru: it asked for a password that way though, which i tried my login pass, didnt work
[07:49] <bytewalker> thanx
[07:50] <needtoknow> Use the admin pass
[07:50] <poningru> IRChris: it should have
[07:50] <poningru> worked that is
[07:51] <poningru> sudo just uses your password
[07:51] <IRChris> hrm..
[07:51] <IRChris> i'll try again
[07:51] <jellobean> does anyone here have ubuntu installed on a computer with a SATA HD?
[07:51] <kevman> Is there a way to make icons appear on the right hand side of the desktop by default?
[07:51] <nickreynolds> ok guys here is my problem, i have my ubuntu server setting in another room with only power and a network hooked up to it. I want to do GNOME from the windows machine i'm on now. I have to iniate a session in order to do this with VNC. How do i iniate a session from SSH on my windows machine
[07:52] <mneptok> nickreynolds: you don't need VNC. you have X.
[07:52] <mneptok> nickreynolds: look into Win32 X clients.
[07:52] <nickreynolds> ?
[07:52] <nickreynolds> ok
[07:53] <nickreynolds> oh i see
[07:53] <nickreynolds> i have to enable x11 fowarding
[07:53] <mneptok> X is a local AND remote windowing system.
[07:53] <nickreynolds> then have an x cliient on my side
[07:53] <Nergar> mneptok, do you know if i can get it else where?
[07:53] <Nergar> the mozilla plugin?
[07:53] <nickreynolds> know of any good win32 X clients
[07:53] <mneptok> Nergar: i stay with the packaged versions.
[07:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: can see hda in /dev but can't get it to do anything
[07:54] <Nergar> D:
[07:54] <Deaglebear> anyone know a good vnc client for linux besides openvnc
[07:54] <edmondt> hi guys :)
[07:54] <mneptok> Nergar: but i'm sure if you sit ani think about the question "where do i get the bleeding edge Java" the answer will come to you.
[07:54] <mneptok> *and
[07:54] <edmondt> haven't used irc for like 6 years :P
[07:54] <zerodni> cmdrlanc,  do this in termamal sudo fdisk -l
[07:55] <mneptok> edmondt: you didn't miss much.
[07:55] <edmondt> hehe oh well :S
[07:55] <cmdrlanc> zero: ok..now what?
[07:55] <spiderworm> does anyone know how to do an apt-cache search among installed packages?
[07:55] <IRChris> sudo apt-get install WINE <-- is that the command i need?
[07:55] <zerodni> do you see your windows drive ?
[07:56] <spiderworm> IRChris: probably, but wine all lower-case
[07:56] <edmondt> I hope we can sync to this: http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/the-apple-iphone/
[07:56] <IRChris> ok
[07:56] <spiderworm> IRChris: plus, you need to make sure you have the right repo installed
[07:56] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes hda1
[07:56] <zerodni> ah good
[07:56] <IRChris> repo?
[07:56] <spiderworm> IRChris: if apt gives you an error that it cant find that package, then i'll help you add the other repo
[07:56] <Deaglebear> cmdrlanc whats agood vnc client that isnt open vnc
[07:57] <IRChris> ok, it gave me a list
[07:57] <cmdrlanc> deagle: no idea...new here
[07:57] <spiderworm> IRChris: yes, a repo is a server with software that your computer can automatically download and install
[07:57] <nickreynolds> anyone know of any good and free Win32 X clients
[07:57] <IRChris> ok, the list had things "depends"
[07:57] <spiderworm> IRChris: if the wine software isnt on one of the repos your computer is already configured to work with, you'll need to install another repo
[07:58] <zerodni> sudo mkdir /media/hda1 then sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1
[07:58] <IRChris> so..
[07:58] <spiderworm> does anyone know how to do an apt-cache search among installed packages?
[07:58] <Deaglebear> anyone know of a good free and easy to install vnc client im really in need of one
[07:58] <Flannel> spiderworm: what do you mean?
[07:58] <spiderworm> IRChris: if it depends on other packages, try installing those first
[07:58] <IRChris> so install another server (repo) that might have the wine package?
[07:58] <Deaglebear> flannel ur like all knowing whats a good vnc client
[07:58] <spiderworm> Flannel: im trying to figure out what programs matching the string 'ntp' are installed on the system
[07:58] <Flannel> IRChris: wine is in universe, you'll need to enable universe.
[07:59] <radar1976> ok...should I paste my config online?
[07:59] <IRChris> Flannel:  how would i do that?
[07:59] <Flannel> spiderworm: dpkg -l | grep ntp
[07:59] <cmdrlanc> zero: you do not have necc perm to view
[07:59] <Flannel> !universe | IRChris
[07:59] <ubotu> IRChris: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:59] <factorx> Isn't there any RADIUS server available in ubuntu dapper repositories? I couldn't find one via apt-cache search radius...
[07:59] <Deaglebear> ircchris open synaptic and goto settings and repositories and look for universe stuff
[07:59] <Flannel> spiderworm, see also https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/NTP.html
[08:00] <IRChris> thank you
[08:00] <edmondt> has anyone been able to sync their WM5 with opensync?
[08:00] <Deaglebear> flannel whats a good vnc server/client to use
[08:00] <spiderworm> Flannel: thanks
[08:00] <zooted_> When using LVM, are the UUIDs in /etc/fstab the e2fs UUIDs, or the LVM UUIDs?
[08:00] <Flannel> factorx: yes.  Must be in universe, there are quite a few.
[08:00] <Shadowpillar> who here is familiar with chmod?
[08:01] <Flannel> zooted_: logical volume UUIDs, LVM abstracts away physical disks
[08:01] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do sudo -s
[08:01] <thekidrio> anyone here use an ebay auction manager?
[08:01] <Flannel> Deaglebear: no idea.  I don't have X
[08:01] <zerodni> then cd  /media/hda1
[08:01] <Shadowpillar> what should the default permissions be to a directory?
[08:01] <Deaglebear> :( well darn
[08:01] <Flannel> Shadowpillar: Depends on the directory
[08:01] <nickreynolds> open VNC is good
[08:01] <factorx> Flannel: Thank you, I'll give it a try
[08:01] <Flannel> !vnc | Deaglebear, this might help
[08:01] <ubotu> Deaglebear, this might help: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[08:01] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: my home directory
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> I just forgot what it was supposed to be
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> luckily this doesn't affect my desktop system
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> someone else messed up a remote account of mine
[08:02] <Flannel> Shadowpillar: by default they're 755
[08:02] <edmondt> FreeNX is really good
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> and I'm trying to fix it
[08:02] <thekidrio> anyone here use orkshun?
[08:02] <edmondt> VNC is just jerky on Edgy
[08:02] <ByTeWaLKeR> i have problem with ym video card its a radeon but it crashes my entire system whenever it tries to use acceleration like for planetpenguin or 3d screensavers
[08:03] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: thanks
[08:03] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: that helped
[08:03] <mzuverink> could someone tell me how to determin what user and group apache2 runs as?
[08:03] <ByTeWaLKeR> it juz totally freezes (except the mouse stil works)
[08:03] <ByTeWaLKeR> any nerds her ehave any ideas?
[08:03] <Flannel> mzuverink: www-data:www-data
[08:03] <tritium> ByTeWaLKeR: take it easy with the insults
[08:03] <radar1976> the only changes from the two servers are the IP and directory locations
[08:04] <radar1976> thats it
[08:04] <radar1976> why isn't the vhosts working on the new server
[08:04] <Crescendo> How can I edit the settings for my screensavers?
[08:04] <mzuverink> Flannel, just type that into a terminal?
[08:04] <Flannel> mzuverink: er, what?
[08:04] <mzuverink> sorry, got confused
[08:05] <mzuverink> Flannel, wrong window
[08:05] <Flannel> mzuverink: /lastlog radar1976
[08:05] <Flannel> ack, sorry.
[08:05] <radar1976> huh?
[08:05] <zooted_> Flannel: are you using LVM for your root install?  If so could you please check "/sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/volgroup/logvol | grep UUID" against the output of lvdisplay and compare it to the values in /etc/fstab, and /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[08:05] <Flannel> radar1976: you just need to put your vhost file in sites-enabled (put it in sites-available and symlink to sites-enabled)
[08:06] <Flannel> zooted_: I don't have edgy, no UUIDs
[08:06] <incorrect> my mysql update fails :(
[08:06] <radar1976> Flannel, I didn't have that on the old server
[08:06] <Deaglebear> im in need of some advice on a vnc client i have xubuntu
[08:06] <Flannel> radar1976: what distro is on the old server?
[08:06] <radar1976> I have copied the config from the old server to the new server
[08:06] <radar1976> ubuntu 6.10
[08:06] <cmdrlanc> zero: I can get into the dir old dos style but how to I go back up levels?
[08:06] <radar1976> and the new one is the same
[08:06] <Flannel> radar1976: er... you DO have that on the old server.
[08:06] <IRChris> You can enable the universe component by editing the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" after installing Ubuntu.
[08:06] <IRChris> how could i edit it?
[08:06] <radar1976> one is ppc and hthe other  is i686
[08:07] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, its cd ..
[08:07] <IRChris> i'm in the sources.list but not sure what to edit?
[08:07] <radar1976> both server are 6.10
[08:07] <Flannel> radar1976: that doesn't matter.  You do have sites-enabled and sites-default on the old server, those are your vhosts.
[08:07] <ByTeWaLKeR> hmm ok whats the closest torrent program to utorrent for loonix?
[08:07] <radar1976> the only file in sites-enabled on the old server is 000-default
[08:07] <Flannel> radar1976: rigt, that's the default one
[08:07] <radar1976> that is also on the new server
[08:07] <DarkClown> anyone know a good tool to load and unload an Ipod in linux?
[08:08] <Gumby> DarkClown: gtkpod
[08:08] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good video editor?  Specifically, I'd like to edit my videos shot on my HDD camcorder (.mod format).
[08:08] <radar1976> the vhosts.conf file is in /etc/apache on the old server and it worked with no problem
[08:08] <Flannel> radar1976: er, then whoever set that up did stuff wrong.
[08:08] <DarkClown> Gunby: thanks :)
[08:08] <Flannel> radar1976: ubuntu doesn't use a vhosts.conf file, uses /sites-*/ instead
[08:09] <rpc> how can i cut exactly 8 first characters of a line? i could use sed for that but perhaps it can be done easier in bash?
[08:09] <radar1976> Flannel, no it just organizes the vhosts
[08:09] <cafuego_> radar1976: Just drop vhosts.conf into /etc/apache2/conf.d
[08:09] <radar1976> you CAN use a vhosts.conf file that is NOT in the sites-enabled
[08:09] <radar1976> cafuego, thats where it is
[08:09] <cafuego_> radar1976: A restart should pick it up, then.
[08:09] <Flannel> radar1976: Pastebin that file, we'll figure out where it should go.
[08:10] <radar1976> sites-enabled is just an easy way to organize your vhosts
[08:10] <radar1976> cafuego, I have restarted so many times... no worky
[08:10] <cmdrlanc> zero: why does it think I am not root?
[08:10] <cafuego_> radar1976: What's the error log say about it?
[08:10] <foxiness> is there a way other than "windows cd,SGD" to restore MBR like fixmbr ?

[08:12] <Flannel> IRChris: you might have better luck in #winehq, they're guarenteed to know ;)
[08:13] <IRChris> ah that would help
[08:13] <Gumby> kidbuntu: you'll often find that if you arent willing to help yourself, then others wont be willing to help you either.
[08:13] <IRChris> ty
[08:13] <cmdrlanc> zero: ok...so I can see it, now what?
[08:13] <radar1976> cafuego, yes

[08:33] <unska_> im not on my ubuntu atm but is there a apt-get for mono (the .NET thing for wine)?
[08:33] <unska_> i tried apt-get install mono but that didn't fix it
[08:34] <Lotus> How can i register ?
[08:34] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[08:34] <elyon225> AndrewB: Okay, LiVES is extremely confusing and very slow... but thank you.
[08:34] <mneptok> unska_: Mono is installed by default. and it's not for WINE.
[08:35] <unska_> mneptok, why my wine requires mono to be installed when i try to use .NET exes?
[08:35] <radar1976> any suggestions?
[08:35] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good video editor?  Specifically, I'd like to edit my videos shot on my HDD camcorder (.mod format).
[08:35] <mattycoze> does anyone know how to update the linux kernel for Ubuntu?
[08:35] <mneptok> unska_: because Mono is the .NET framework for Linux.
[08:35] <unska_> mattycoze, update-manager?
[08:36] <unska_> mneptok, if mono is installed by default, why can't i start any .NET framework programs?
[08:36] <unska_> and why does wine ask for mono?
[08:36] <mneptok> Trixsey: bash vs. dash i suppose.
[08:36] <AndrewB> bugger college..
[08:36] <nevron> how do i run a distrubution upgrade?
[08:36] <mattycoze> unska how do you run the update manager?
[08:36] <Trixsey> mneptok, what do I do?
[08:36] <unska_> nevron, update-manager -c -d
[08:36] <AndrewB> nevron: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:36] <mneptok> unska_: try #winehq. i don't use WINE.
[08:36] <nevron> which one :)
[08:36] <unska_> okay
[08:36] <AndrewB> nevron: I think either work.
[08:36] <MTecknology> I'm having a peculiar error. When I run sudo -s, i can become root; when i run sudo nano, i get a root nano; when I run sudo gedit, i get the cursor on the next line but gedit never opens; when i run gksudo, i get a gedit that opens, but there are no menus or anything - it's a non responsive program. also, after killing it, i have the same problem with the cursor being down at the next line w/o any output.
[08:37] <mneptok> Trixsey: write a script that explicitly uses bash
[08:37] <mattycoze> unska was the "update-manager -c -d" directed at me?
[08:37] <unska_> mattycoze, did it have your name? =)
[08:37] <nevron> hey it removed nv-glx
[08:37] <mattycoze> unska, soz
[08:37] <morfys> MTecknology: try reinstalling gedit :)
[08:37] <unska_> mattycoze, hah, nevermind :)
[08:38] <elyon225> mattycoze: You can run Update Manager by choosing System -> Administration -> Update Manager
[08:38] <Trixsey> mneptok, ok? how do I explicitly use bash? what is that even? normal shellscript? I tried that shellscript :(
[08:38] <AmaroqWolf> Is there a way to check whether or not I have direct sound enabled?
[08:38] <MTecknology> morfys: aighty - i get to reboot for my driver too
[08:38] <AndrewB> Trixsey: bash is most prob your default terminal enviroment
[08:38] <morfys> =)
[08:38] <nevron> AndrewB and Unska i ran dist upgrade and it removed my graphics driver is it normal?
[08:38] <AndrewB> nevron: It may be upgrading X and need to do so.
[08:38] <mattycoze> elyon225 & unska actually d.w i don;t think it's possible to update your kernel with those things
[08:39] <unska_> nevron, did it do anything else?
[08:39] <unska_> mattycoze, yes it is
[08:39] <Trixsey> AndrewB, shellscript didn't work for me
[08:39] <unska_> atleast i did update my kernel via update-manager
[08:39] <nevron> yes it did install linux-restricted-modules <IP_ADDRESS>-10.1
[08:40] <mattycoze> oh so 2.6.17-11 is the latest kernel version for ubuntu?
[08:40] <elyon225> mattycoze: Really... well it's worked just fine for everyone I know of that has updated their kernels.
[08:40] <elyon225> mattycoze: Yes... released a week or so ago.
[08:40] <unska_> mattycoze, yeah
[08:40] <unska_> nevron, that's not a distribution update
[08:40] <mattycoze> i'm having problems connecting cisco vpn client
[08:40] <nevron> unska_ what is it
[08:40] <unska_> nevron, it's a kernel update
[08:41] <nevron> ok but why did it remove my graphics driver it is impossibkle to understand
[08:41] <unska_> nevron, when you do a update-manager, you can see the big update distribution button on the top of the update-manager window
[08:41] <unska_> nevron, it can be reinstalled, don't worry
[08:41] <nevron> of course if i can get to X with my settings
[08:41] <AndrewB> Did dapper use modular X? Maybe that is it.
[08:42] <unska> nevron, you can reinstall drivers without X
[08:42] <nevron> how do i do that?
[08:42] <mattycoze> and another guy at uni said that it's probably a kernel error that hadn't been resolved
[08:42] <unska> what card do you have?
[08:42] <kraut> moin
[08:42] <mattycoze> (he happened to be a network administrator)
[08:42] <nevron> its an nvidia 7600gs
[08:42] <mattycoze> AirForce something
[08:42] <mattycoze> d.w it works fine
[08:43] <mattycoze> i'm using it atm at home
[08:43] <unska> do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx on the command line
[08:43] <nevron> it was using the nv-glx module and the kernel update removed the driver package
[08:43] <mattycoze> it's just i get an error message when i try to connect using the vpn client
[08:44] <nevron> ok now i have a problem with dependencies and ubuntu doesnt let me install my gfx drivers :)
[08:44] <unska> bah :p
[08:44] <unska> why it doesn't let you install them? and why can't you get to X?
[08:44] <nevron> i am on X right now but after the restart as there is no package for the driver installed i wont be able to get to X
[08:45] <unska> then why did you get to X when you installed ubuntu first time to your computer?
[08:45] <cmdrlanc> zero: I don't know
[08:45] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[08:45] <cmdrlanc> I am trying to copy and it's telling me it's read only
[08:45] <nevron> it doesnt let me install the packege because when do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"  This may mean that you have
[08:45] <nevron> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[08:45] <nevron> distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
[08:45] <nevron> or been moved out of Incoming.
[08:45] <nickreynolds> how do i remove a trusted ip from my SSH list
[08:46] <zerodni> hook up your external hd
[08:46] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good video editor?  Specifically, I'd like to edit my videos shot on my HDD camcorder (.mod format).
[08:46] <cmdrlanc> zero: ok
[08:46] <nevron> i am now on X and using beryl actually but after the restart i wont even able to get to X
[08:46] <MTecknology> Is there anybody else having problems with running gksudo gedit or gedit sudo... I'm on feisty fawn
[08:46] <cmdrlanc> zero: I tried to copy to the external and it said "read only"
[08:47] <unska> uh nevron i have to go to work =/
[08:47] <unska> ill be here but just very busy
[08:47] <nevron> hhaahah
[08:47] <zerodni> make sure you are root
[08:47] <nevron> ok unska i guees i will downgrade my kernel to get things back to the way they were yet i have no clue howto do that
[08:48] <Ademan> about how much does edgy take up as a fresh install?
[08:48] <zerodni> or do sudo mount -o rw /dev/externalhd /media/exhd
[08:48] <zerodni> make sure to sudo mkdir /media/exhd first

[08:50] <Trixsey> mneptok, how do I do that? :(
[08:50] <zerodni> externalhd is probbly sda1
[08:52] <Illnor> i'm a foolish newb: which is preferable xgl or beryl? for the best visual effects
[08:52] <Trixsey> Illnor, XGL doesn't generate any effects on its own.. it's just an overlay :p
[08:52] <AmaroqWolf> I know that it is possible to check whether direct renduring is active by running glxinfo | grep direct. But how can I check whether direct sound is active?
[08:53] <Trixsey> Illnor, ATI users that want beryl needs XGL
[08:53] <dhorn> Hey all, I've accidently removed dpkg.  Is there any way to restore it or reinstall debian?
[08:53] <zerodni> Illnor, you mean compiz and beryl
[08:53] <AmaroqWolf> dhorn: sudo aptitude reinstall dpkg ?
[08:53] <Trixsey> dhorn, sudo apt-get install dpkg? :p
[08:53] <Illnor> I've got this Nvidia 6800GT
[08:53] <Trixsey> oh yeah, reainstall is nice too
[08:53] <AmaroqWolf> :P
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> Trixsey: too bad apt-get doesn't seem to have reinstall.
[08:54] <dhorn> thanks, I'm new to unix
[08:54] <Trixsey> unix omg!
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> xD
[08:54] <dhorn> linux
[08:54] <Trixsey> I thought he was on debian :p
[08:54] <ledbettj> apt-get install --reinstall dpkg? :P
[08:54] <Trixsey> :D
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> xD apt-get has an install --reinstall?
[08:55] <ledbettj> yup
[08:55] <Trixsey> guys
[08:55] <ledbettj> kind of a strange semantic, but it gets the job done
[08:55] <Trixsey> I can't get my bloody shellscript to work
[08:55] <Trixsey> http://www.mathbin.net/8136
[08:55] <Trixsey> this is what I did :p
[08:55] <dhorn> Could not exec dpkg!
[08:55] <dhorn> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)
[08:55] <dhorn> That's what it says
[08:55] <torbesh> hi we are using linux on our computers. other company workers using XP, which software you suggest for network logging?
[08:55] <Subhuman> you cant install dpkg
[08:55] <Subhuman> since apt-get uses dpkg.....
[08:55] <Trixsey> ohhh
[08:55] <Frogzoo> torbesh: define network loggin?
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> oh
[08:56] <Subhuman> so how can you use dpkg to install itself?
[08:56] <dhorn> Subhuman: any suggestions?
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> doea aptitude use dpkg?
[08:56] <Subhuman> build it from source.?
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> *does
[08:56] <Subhuman> they all do
[08:56] <Subhuman> apt is a front end for dpkg.
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> ouch
[08:56] <Trixsey> :(
[08:56] <torbesh> everything like GFi EventsManager do
[08:56] <Trixsey> we got pwned AmaroqWolf :p
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> A rather sucky situation for someone who's new to linux.
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> Trixsey: lol yeah
[08:56] <dhorn> Subhuman: so I'm basically going to have to reinstall ubuntu?
[08:56] <Subhuman> you could build it from source
[08:56] <ciscosurfer> you can install anything from packages.ubuntu.com
[08:56] <Subhuman> dhorn, nah theyll be a way to sort it.
[08:57] <Subhuman> gimmie 2 mins
[08:57] <dhorn> Subhuman: thanks
[08:57] <AmaroqWolf> He can still wget things
[08:57] <ledbettj> how about opening the .deb with archive manager and manually moving the files to where they need to be?
[08:57] <mevets> hey
[08:57] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, its like 3am here and i have work tomarrow i wish you the best of luck just dont forget when you go to install to check the format boxes
[08:57] <AmaroqWolf> I have no idea how to build from sorce though.
[08:57] <Frogzoo> torbesh: dunno, take a look at snort maybe
[08:57] <AmaroqWolf> *source
[08:57] <torbesh> snort?
[08:57] <mevets> is there a way to empty recycle bin from cmd line?
[08:58] <Subhuman> dhorn, if you type "dpkg" do you get some text?
[08:58] <Smartmonkey> anyone with some nagios experience here?
[08:58] <LightStream> Well, here is where you can get your free font:
[08:58] <torbesh> thanks frogzoo
[08:58] <ledbettj> mevets: rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
[08:58] <torbesh> i got it
[08:58] <Frogzoo> torbesh: or cacti might be it too - dunno
[08:58] <Subhuman> im trying to see if it's the database which is corrupt or the executable.
[08:58] <torbesh> ok
[08:58] <ledbettj> putting items in the recycle bin just moves them to ~/.Trash
[08:58] <dhorn> Subhuman: it says that the command is notn found
[08:58] <Gumby> dhorn: are you by any chance doing a system update right now?  or installing any other packages?  (sorry if this has already been asked(
[08:58] <Smartmonkey> yo dudes, anyone have experience w/ nagios?
[08:58] <vmlemon> 2
[08:58] <dhorn> Gumby: no, dpkg accidently go removed from my system
[08:58] <Gumby> dhorn: doh!
[08:58] <Zura01> Is there a way to configure ubuntu 6.10 with SMP ? sinds I installed Ubuntu on ML370 2x CPU 500 mhz
[08:59] <dhorn> Subhuman: it was removed from /usr/bin so yeah...
[08:59] <Frogzoo> Zura01: yes - install edgy
[08:59] <Subhuman> may i ask how?
[08:59] <LightStream> I guess how is Mr Ikeda?
[08:59] <Gumby> Zura01: I believe that ubuntu kernels come SMP enabled
[08:59] <Frogzoo> Zura01: on dapper, the 686 kernel
[08:59] <Trixsey> Install feisty, it's more stable than edgy
[08:59] <dhorn> Subhuman: my stupidity
[08:59] <Trixsey> for me at least :P
[08:59] <Trixsey> had big probs with edgy
[08:59] <Frogzoo> Trixsey: O.O
[08:59] <dhorn> Subhuman: removed the wrong file "rm dpkg"....
[09:00] <Flannel> Trixsey, Feisty is still alpha software, it's *not* stable day to day, it might work fine one day, and the next have no X, etc.
[09:00] <AmaroqWolf> xD
[09:00] <ciscosurfer> Feisty is not ready for the masses yet
[09:00] <Trixsey> pfft
[09:00] <Subhuman> dhorn, hmm - well you could compile your own dpkg, and then use that to install dpkg from packages.ubuntu.com....
[09:00] <Trixsey> you gotta live your life in the fast lane ;)
[09:00] <dhorn> Subhuman: is that a bitch to do?
[09:00] <Zura01> Linux www.zura.nl 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP
[09:00] <Zura01> this is what i c when i type uname -a
[09:01] <ledbettj> dhorn: download the dpkg .deb from packages.ubuntu.com, locate it in nautilus, and then extract the data.tar.gz file
[09:01] <Trixsey> Flannel, they are already in freeze (freezed features) so..
[09:01] <Flannel> Zura01: there you go, you've already got SMP
[09:01] <ledbettj> *open with archive manager
[09:01] <Trixsey> pretty much only bugfixes now I think
[09:01] <Trixsey> before the release
[09:01] <Smartmonkey> anyone ever had a problem using external commands in nagios? it appears im missing nagios.cmd.. not quite sure how to create it?
[09:01] <Zura01> how can I test
[09:01] <Gumby> Zura01: have you checked to see that both CPU's are being recognized?
[09:01] <Gumby> Zura01: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:01] <Flannel> Trixsey: right, it's frozen, but no.  It's still alpha software.
[09:01] <Zura01> thanx gumby let me try
[09:01] <Subhuman> dhorn, ledbettj 's idea might be better - grab the dpkg.deb and open it yourself
[09:01] <Gumby> Zura01: you should see two cpu's listen
[09:01] <Stormx2> If I have a nautilus window open in list view, is there a way I can drag and drop a file into the current directory?
[09:02] <dhorn> And then do whta?  move dpkg to /usr/bin?
[09:02] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: have you gone here? http://nagios.org/support/
[09:02] <Subhuman> dhorn, the executable, yes.
[09:02] <torbesh> frogzoo: actually we want to track workers computer usage
[09:02] <q_> command <sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq> gives me <FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device>, any hint?
[09:02] <Smartmonkey> yes theres not much out there
[09:02] <dhorn> Subhuman: should that fix my issues?
[09:02] <Smartmonkey> google .. etc..
[09:02] <Trixsey> http://www.mathbin.net/8136
[09:02] <ledbettj> the data.tar.gz file will contain some directories, etc/ bin/ .. move the files that are in there to their respective places
[09:02] <Subhuman> dhorn, yep.
[09:02] <Trixsey> why isn't this script running properly?
[09:02] <Trixsey> :(
[09:02] <Subhuman> as long as you didnt delete anything else.
[09:02] <dhorn> I didn't
[09:02] <dhorn> I'll try that, thanks all
[09:02] <Frogzoo> torbesh: oh, dunno
[09:02] <Gumby> Trixsey: cause you use feisty
[09:02] <torbesh> and cacti, snort are network loggers for overflow etc
[09:02] <ledbettj> good luck :)
[09:02] <Trixsey> Gumby, oh ok :(
[09:02] <Trixsey> lol
[09:03] <Trixsey> you joker
[09:03] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: you can always try asking here >> http://nagios.org/support/forums.php
[09:03] <torbesh> frogzoo: do you know what that softwares are called? to check from the internet?
[09:03] <Gumby> hehe
[09:03] <Smartmonkey> thx i guess
[09:03] <Trixsey> ohhh
[09:03] <Trixsey> it runs in console mode
[09:04] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: well that's where'd I'd ask a specific question as it relates to Nagios
[09:04] <dhorn> Subhuman: one last question, am I going to have to change any permissions?  or should i?
[09:04] <torbesh> anyone know a user tracking (logging for workers' computer usage) software for xp/ubuntu crossplatform?
[09:05] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: or you can join the #nagios channel and ask there :-) ... /join #nagios
[09:05] <Smartmonkey> oo thanks, didn't know there was  a nagios channel
[09:05] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: :-)
[09:05] <torbesh> anyone know a user tracking (logging for workers' computer usage) software for xp/ubuntu crossplatform?
[09:06] <macd> !patience | torbesh
[09:06] <ubotu> torbesh: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[09:06] <macd> torbesh, you could just have thier login/out times from the logs on the systems and aggregate those
[09:06] <yettenet> Can anyone tell me where can I set startup programs for kubuntu?
[09:07] <cmdrlanc> where can I apt-get thunderbird?
[09:07] <macd> I dont think there is a specific cross platform program todo that
[09:07] <ciscosurfer> yettenet: try #kubuntu
[09:07] <yettenet> Nice idea :)
[09:07] <torbesh> macd: we need more information for security, like internet usage, also keylogger
[09:07] <yettenet> Thnx
[09:07] <macd> cmdrlanc, in the console type "apt-get install thunderbird"
[09:07] <cmdrlanc> i did...it didn't find it
[09:07] <quandar> GDM is starts, puts up the wait cursor and stays there indefinitly. The package is not broken from what I can tell
[09:07] <macd> torbesh, I doubt you'll fund a program that works on both systems, but Id bet you could find ones that both have an XML output and you could then use something to parse and report those
[09:08] <ciscosurfer> cmdrlanc: try mozilla-thunderbird
[09:08] <macd> ciscosurfer, good call ;)
[09:08] <ciscosurfer> macd: ;-)
[09:08] <torbesh> macd: thank you, any software suggestion for that?
[09:08] <torbesh> macd: actually it is ok for us to collect data from xp, and be viewable on ubuntu
[09:09] <macd> torbesh, on the linux side, syslog can do that, on the windows side not so sure, we monitor that stuff with a combination of the DC's and the cisco webfilters
[09:09] <Madpilot> torbesh, out of curiousity, how is a keylogger needed? Seems overkill for security, and insanely invasive of user privacy...
[09:09] <AmaroqWolf> Can anyone tell me how I can check direct sound?
[09:09] <needtoknow> Can I run Windows inside of ubuntu?
[09:09] <Madpilot> needtoknow, yes, with a VM
[09:09] <Hasrat_USA> hello everyone. i need some help
[09:09] <macd> needtoknow, yes with vmware-workstation, Qemu, Xen, KVM
[09:09] <needtoknow> Direct sound is only in windows buddy
[09:10] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[09:10] <skar> hi, whats the package which'll install gcc, make etc ?
[09:10] <AmaroqWolf> needtoknow, seriously? D:
[09:10] <torbesh> madpilot: thank you for your kind ideas but be sure we know what is privacy:)
[09:10] <needtoknow> Thanks macd and madpiolet
[09:10] <Madpilot> skar, build-essential
[09:10] <ledbettj> skar: try build-essential
[09:10] <torbesh> macd: thanks a lot
[09:10] <macd> you boys are to fast for me ;P
[09:10] <skar> Madpilot, ledbettj: thanks, will try that :)
[09:10] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: it may seem or even be excessively intrusive, but when you sign "on the dotted line" when you become an employee, you basically give your employer the right to do...
[09:10] <nickreynolds> hey i accidentally added an ip to my trusted ssh ip list
[09:10] <nickreynolds> how do i remove it
[09:10] <quandar> Trixsey: when you create launcher lets say, on your desktop of that same command, does it work
[09:10] <macd> nickreynolds, in /etc/hosts.allow
[09:10] <Trixsey> no
[09:10] <needtoknow> For helping me here is a AWSOME animation
[09:10] <nickreynolds> thank you
[09:10] <needtoknow> http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/12/animation-invasion.html
[09:11] <Madpilot> ciscosurfer, I guess, for some employers. Thankfully, I've never worked for anyone that paranoid...
[09:11] <cmdrlanc> ok..it found it, but where did it put it?
[09:11] <Trixsey> quaal, same problem there
[09:11] <macd> Madpilot, or you just were not aware
[09:11] <Trixsey> quaal, but in terminal its all fine
[09:11] <elyon225> How do I disable tooltips for the panels and such in gnome?
[09:11] <quandar> quandar: does "xterm -e matlab &" for the launcher
[09:11] <quandar> Trixsey: does "xterm -e matlab &" for the launcher
[09:11] <Hasrat_USA> previously i installed ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft, allocated 4 GB for it (3 for linux and 1 for swap from a 160 GB dual-boot with XP). then, i started downloading, installing and filling up linux with all sorts of games, files etc. a few minutes ago linux told me "you're using 100 percent disk space". then i restarted. but then, it said it couldn't write something to my 'home' folder and from then on it wouldn't let me log in. now i'm using
[09:11] <needtoknow> sudo apt-get AIDS
[09:12] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: you'll find that many "security conscious" employers will add those clauses within their standards and privacy documents...
[09:12] <rapid> lol
[09:12] <kim_> can anyone help me how do i set programs to start at boot in ubuntu, i already tryed the system/preferences/Sessions , doesnt work for tilda and conky
[09:12] <macd> ciscosurfer, and a nice login message ;)
[09:12] <quandar> needtoknow: sudo apt-get -f install herpes
[09:12] <Madpilot> ciscosurfer, fun. remind me to avoid those employers. ;)
[09:12] <Madpilot> quandar, needtoknow - not funny, thanks.
[09:12] <needtoknow> sudo apt-get -f install antibiotics
[09:13] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: avoid those employers :-)
[09:13] <quandar> sudo apt-get --fix-package AIDS herpes
[09:13] <quandar> all is better
[09:13] <nickreynolds> anyone ever use cygwin?
[09:13] <quandar> I did back in "the day"
[09:13] <nickreynolds> did it work
[09:13] <quandar> yeah
[09:13] <nickreynolds> for XDMCP
[09:13] <Hasrat_USA> would anyone like to take the time to tell me about any feasible solution to this problem?
[09:13] <Frogzoo> nickreynolds: pointless exercise
[09:13] <quandar> had to compile everything by hand, but it worked with most things
[09:13] <nickreynolds> because?
[09:14] <nevron> is there anyone kno0wledgable about wine
[09:14] <Madpilot> Hasrat_USA, your paste was cut off at "now i'm usin"
[09:14] <kim_> thanks
[09:14] <macd> Hasrat_USA, you need to resize your partition, get your liveCD out and use gparted.
[09:14] <Hasrat_USA> my linux liveCD to connect to the internet and take help from you guys
[09:14] <kuchcha> Hello room
[09:14] <ledbettj> Hasrat: have you tried pressing Control+Alt+F1 to get a terminal and logging in that way? is it just GDM that won't start?
[09:14] <Hasrat_USA> macd: thanks. gparted is already in front of me, sir
[09:14] <nevron> i just installed wine ran winecfg added photoshop form my windows drive as an application now the qwuestion is this how do i run it
[09:14] <macd> Hasrat_USA, then resize your partition
[09:14] <kuchcha> Im plannin to write a paper, which is the best tool..Openoffice or Latex or texinfo or anyother
[09:14] <Hasrat_USA> yes, gdm won't start. all i see is the login screen
[09:15] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: a pencil
[09:15] <ledbettj> Hasrat: I think resizing the partition is probably the best way to go
[09:15] <Madpilot> Hasrat_USA, you might want to repartition & reinstall. Get at least 5Gb for Ubuntu's root, and ideally a 2nd partition for your /home
[09:15] <Trixsey> quandar, any ideas?
[09:15] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: OpenOffice is very good.  You can also try Abiword or the Koffice suite
[09:15] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: i mean ir must conform to the IEEE format, do u have any experience with these tools
[09:16] <dejx> http://rafb.net/p/A4Puhu72.html
[09:16] <macd> Madpilot, why would he reinstall? when resizing the partition is a 3 click operation.
[09:16] <quandar> Trixsey: did you try the xterm -e [whatever]  & thing?
[09:16] <dejx> i tried with -f, ame error
[09:16] <dejx> same
[09:16] <Trixsey> xterm? terminate?
[09:16] <Madpilot> macd, true, if he's got the space to do it that way.
[09:16] <Hasrat_USA> macd: my ext3, gparted shows, is 4 GB, of which 3.81 GB is in use. linux swap is one GB. now, if i borrow some more 20 GB from windows XP's 129 GB and add it to ext3, would it delete anything from either XP or my current ubuntu linux?
[09:16] <macd> kuchcha, openoffice conforms to the open document stadard, and is readable by MS World.
[09:16] <Trixsey> brb I have to reboot
[09:16] <quandar> xterm is a virtual terminal
[09:16] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: which IEEE format?  can you point me to a link on the interweb that discusses which format you are trying to conform to?
[09:17] <macd> Hasrat_USA, it will use the empty space on your windows partition, so dont go over your available space.
[09:17] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: is what macd said what you are referring to?
[09:17] <dejx> http://rafb.net/p/A4Puhu72.html , i tried with -f and i got the same error, what can i do, i did apt-get update,its fresh install
[09:18] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html
[09:18] <Ayabara> Hi. Is there a good starting point for webcams in ubuntu? I have ubuntu, I have a webcam, and I want to do something with it
[09:18] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: thanks
[09:18] <Hasrat_USA> so, macd: i have gparted in front of me. what's the first thing you want me to do now? ntfs's size is 143 GB, of which, only 12.13 GB is used
[09:18] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: how do I delete a file that is named like an argument?
[09:18] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: I have one named --exclude=backups
[09:18] <Frogzoo> shorty114: escape with \
[09:19] <Frogzoo> Shadowpillar: escape with \
[09:19] <macd> Hasrat_USA, right click the linux partition, and hit resize then choose the new size you want, and let it run.
[09:19] <Shadowpillar> rm \-\-exclude\=backups
[09:19] <Shadowpillar> rm: unrecognized option `--exclude=backups'
[09:19] <Hasrat_USA> and that way i won't have to re-install ubuntu linux from the scratch again?
[09:19] <Shadowpillar> Frogzoo: that happens instead
[09:19] <ciscosurfer> are you wanting to conform to these (http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/journmag/transactions/TRANS-JOUR.doc) rules?
[09:19] <Frogzoo> Shadowpillar: rm -- \-\-exclude\=backups
[09:20] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: are you wanting to conform to these (http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/journmag/transactions/TRANS-JOUR.doc) rules?
[09:20] <macd> Shadowpillar, rm -- -exclude...
[09:20] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: one minute
[09:20] <Hasrat_USA> okay i'm going to do that, if the answer of my most recent question is yes, macd
[09:20] <Shadowpillar> k that worked
[09:20] <Shadowpillar> thanks
[09:20] <macd> Hasrat_USA, yes you wont have to reinstall a thing
[09:20] <Hasrat_USA> thanks :P
[09:20] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: yes.
[09:20] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: maybe take a quick look at the PDF file just below that link >> http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/journmag/transactions/TRANS-JOUR.pdf
[09:21] <needtoknow> How do I open a port?
[09:21] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: but i wish to know what universities use widely and want to get acquainted with the tools., openoffice is very good and quite easy with this template
[09:21] <needtoknow> say........ if I want to open 342
[09:21] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: thanks for the info
[09:22] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: i think OpenOffice is a good app to use...plus, I *believe* you can quickly convert any file to a PDF document as well
[09:22] <cmdrlanc> Question: I did apt-get and it installed, now where did it stuff the files?
[09:22] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: sure :-)
[09:22] <Shadowpillar> openoffice and abiword are the best tools for the job
[09:23] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: what I meant to say was, you can export any file to PDF
[09:23] <kuchcha> Shadowpillar: thanks
[09:23] <Shadowpillar> openoffice = comparable to ms office, abiword = comparable (and better than) ms word
[09:23] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: got the point
[09:23] <kuchcha> Shadowpillar: so abiword is > openoffice word processor
[09:23] <cmdrlanc> shadow: I installed thunderbird, but now I cant find it?
[09:24] <ciscosurfer> Shadowpillar: and some people swear by KOffice (though I haven't used it)
[09:24] <Shadowpillar> nah
[09:24] <Shadowpillar> openoffice is a complete suite
[09:24] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: abiword is just a word processor
[09:24] <Shadowpillar> abiword is better for simple editing that is more complex than say a standard text editor can do
[09:24] <____Toch____> hello
[09:25] <kuchcha> oh..okay..
[09:25] <macd> !hi | ____Toch____
[09:25] <ubotu> ____Toch____: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:25] <kuchcha> thanks a lor ciscosurfer and Shadowpillar
[09:25] <Shadowpillar> ciscosurfer: and that's mostly a matter of opinion. only drawback to koffice is you need kde. or to install all the kde libs
[09:25] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: you can install and use both and then decide which one you like  using better
[09:25] <ledbettj> cmdrlanc: It's not in Applications->Internet?
[09:27] <MeisterZopf> I can't start my gnome-terminal. It says: "BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)". Any ideas?
[09:27] <Madpilot> ciscosurfer, for PDF making in OpenOffice, it's as simple as clicking the "Make PDF" button on the toolbar, right next to the "Save" button
[09:27] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: indeed it is
[09:28] <cmdrlanc> ledbettj: no..it did not add it there.
[09:29] <meisam> #eclipse
[09:29] <Hasrat_USA> it's not letting me add/resize
[09:29] <ledbettj> cmdrlanc: right click on the applications menu, choose "edit menus", go to the "internet" entry, and see if you can find it there -- if it's there, click the checkbox next to it.
[09:30] <dejx> hola
[09:30] <dejx> vi + ins,del,home,end,pgup,pgdn keys are acting weird in xubuntu
[09:30] <dejx> what to do?
[09:32] <nickreynolds> dammit, i can't seem to get cygwin to let met run X display on windows machine
[09:32] <macd> dejx, joining #xubuntu would be a good start
[09:32] <Hasrat_USA> how can i make an extended partition from the unused space i borrowed from XP, macd?
[09:33] <dejx> well, they idle
[09:33] <macd> Hasrat_USA, you dont need todo that, you can just add it to your "/" linux partition
[09:33] <Hasrat_USA> ok i'm typing everything that i see on screen
[09:33] <Hasrat_USA> please be patient
[09:34] <quaal> Trixsey, what?
[09:35] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good alternative to Istanbul?  Istanbul is very easy to use (which I like), but the quality is terrible.
[09:35] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda1 fat16 size 54.88 mb used 8 mb ununsed 46.88 mb
[09:36] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda2 ntfs size 143.95 gb used 12.13 unused 131.82 gb boot

[09:36] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda3 ext3 4 GB used 3.81 GB unused 197.51 mb
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda4 linux-swap size 1 GB unsed --- unused ---
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> okay i'm gonna do that
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> webshots? is that like www.webshots.com?
[09:37] <macd> yes
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> oka
[09:38] <Hasrat_USA> thanks god for LiveCD with live internet
[09:38] <macd> or any other image upload dump like that
[09:39] <Hasrat_USA> can you give me your email address macd? cause i'm gonna use yousendit.com
[09:39] <macd> uhhhh
[09:39] <Hasrat_USA> and webshots would require me to create an account which is too troublesome and cumbersome, for real!
[09:39] <meisam> Hasrat_USA u  r iranina?

[09:44] <macd> meisam, Eclipse's database explorer does not support mysql5 at this time
[09:45] <MadHenry> does anyone know how to boot 6.06 with graphical interface if it doesn't do itself?
[09:45] <macd> MadHenry, type "startx" after you login.

[09:46] <Subhuman> dejx, logout and log back in
[09:46] <elw0od> i am using kernel-image <IP_ADDRESS> generic....is suspend and hibernate activated or i need a recompile?
[09:46] <jwtodd> speaking of network manager ... mine is in the gnome panel but show no net connection but i am clearly connected. thoughts?
[09:46] <Subhuman> it doesnt work like that - it starts when you log in.
[09:46] <macd> meisam, yes Im sure, if not I would not have said it.
[09:46] <dejx> Subhuman just from shell or restart X _
[09:46] <dejx> ?
[09:46] <meisam> macd what can i do friend?
[09:47] <vegasmcpc> hi, quick couple questions here: i have a raid 5 array made with mdadm that's working, i just need to know which file system to put on it and how to mount it
[09:47] <Subhuman> dejx, no logout from GNOME back to gdm .
[09:47] <Subhuman> actually dejx you just installed it?
[09:47] <jellobean> I just installed Ubuntu and when it boots up...it boots to a screen that is a whole bunch of colors....anyone know what this error is?
[09:47] <macd> Hasrat_USA, ok right click on the ext3 blue partition and hit resize then just put the new size in and then click apply.
[09:47] <Subhuman> you need to restart- it starts as a daemon and i can't remember the command for it :/
[09:47] <Subhuman> sorry.
[09:47] <vegasmcpc> jellobean, what kind of gfx card do you have?
[09:47] <dejx> Subhuman im on xubuntu but i want to use network-manager-gnome
[09:47] <macd> meisam, learn to use mysql without the database explorer interface in eclipse.
[09:47] <Subhuman> dejx, 1 sec
[09:48] <jellobean> geforce 6600 pci express
[09:48] <vegasmcpc> hm
[09:48] <vegasmcpc> odd
[09:48] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: ext3 is fine - mount it as /dev/mdX
[09:48] <Subhuman> dejx, the command is "nm-applet --sm-disable"
[09:48] <dejx> thanks!
[09:48] <vegasmcpc> ok, i'm a complete noob...how do i format in ext3 from the terminal?
[09:48] <meisam> macd what do u mean? but i know how to work with mysql, i need to connect it using eclipse, i wanna work with eclipse
[09:49] <Subhuman> it should appear in the systray now.
[09:49] <vegasmcpc> i didn't see ext3 in the list of filesystems
[09:49] <jellobean> vegasmcpc, do you think if i pull out my graphics card it might work?
[09:49] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: is this for mp3 etc?
[09:49] <macd> meisam, Im not sure what you dont understand, eclipse CAN NOT do mysql5 in the database explorer.
[09:49] <vegasmcpc> jellobean: i doubt it, not sure
[09:49] <dejx> hm
[09:49] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: it's for mp3, video, apps
[09:49] <yomm> good morning people :)
[09:50] <dejx> i get /usr/bin/esd; not found
[09:50] <dejx> ;/
[09:50] <Subhuman> vegasmcpc, you need to do "mk2fs.ext2 -j"
[09:50] <elw0od> good morning
[09:50] <Subhuman> vegasmcpc, ext3 is just ext2 with journalling, so add the -j flag to the ext2 formatter.
[09:50] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: mkfs.ext3 -T large /dev/mdX     where X is your raid
[09:51] <Hasrat_USA> macd: http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1ea3.png
[09:51] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: mkfs.ext3 -T largefile /dev/mdX     where X is your raid
[09:51] <meisam> macd but in SQL explorer mysql 5 is shown and is connected
[09:51] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: do i need to sudo or anything?
[09:51] <macd> Hasrat_USA, up the newsize to say double that.
[09:52] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: sudo mkfs.ext3 -T largefile /dev/mdX     where X is your raid
[09:52] <vegasmcpc> thanks frogzoo
[09:52] <vegasmcpc> then after that is done, what's the command i'm going to need to use to mount it?
[09:52] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: enjoy
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> i want to mount it as /raid
[09:53] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: nopers - as /dev/mdX
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> oh
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> ok
[09:53] <vinboy> how do I DISABLE the maximise/minimise window animation?
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> so what's the command going to be?
[09:53] <karen> hi, I have user homes on second drive mounted with ntfs-3g I can read and write to disk, but user homes are owned by root. I tried chown and chgrp to make homes owned by user:user, but it does not work. Any ideas?
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> mount /dev/md1?
[09:53] <Hasrat_USA> macd: it won't let me. you can see the 'up' arrow is shaded and also that the maximum size is 4095 MB, while in the 'new size' field it says 4095 mb also
[09:53] <Frogzoo> vinboy: it's in metacity options somewhere
[09:54] <panclock> Same error.
[09:54] <panclock> :|
[09:54] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: where do you want to mount this /data ?
[09:54] <macd> Hasrat_USA, ohhh, you need to resize the NTFS one first, shrink it by the amount you want to add to the ext3 one
[09:54] <jellobean> I just installed edgy and when it boots up...it boots to a screen that is a whole bunch of colors....anyone know what this error is?
[09:54] <Hasrat_USA> okay
[09:54] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: sudo mount /dev/md1 /data          - but you should update /etc/fstab
[09:55] <vegasmcpc> ok, what should i enter into /etc/fstab?
[09:55] <vinboy> thanks Frogzoo
[09:55] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: is the format finished ?
[09:55] <vegasmcpc> yes
[09:56] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: does blkid give you a UUID for the raid ?
[09:56] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: sudo blkid /dev/md1
[09:57] <vegasmcpc> yea, it gives me a uuid
[09:57] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: k, so just copy the format in /etc/fstab & replace with UUID & /dev/md1 as appropriate
[09:58] <vegasmcpc> ok
[09:58] <panclock> Any time I go to a website, my firefox just exits, any idea what the problem could be? I tried to reinstall firefox, etc, it still exits.
[09:58] <Azrael|Arbeit> hi there
[09:58] <elw0od> hi
[09:58] <panclock> No one has answered me, in about six hours. So I idle. :D
[09:58] <Frogzoo> panclock: even google.com ?
[09:58] <panclock> At times, yeah.
[09:58] <merc> that google guy always has answers..
[09:59] <elw0od> panclock, try launching it in a terminal, u can read the error maybe
[09:59] <merc> sometimes to the wrong question..but..
[09:59] <macd> panclock, delete "~/.mozilla"  then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure firefox"
[09:59] <Frogzoo> panclock: reinstall firefox I guess
[09:59] <panclock> uh
[09:59] <panclock> I did?
[09:59] <panclock> Same thing.
[09:59] <panclock> lol
[09:59] <macd> no uninstalling it does not erase user leve configurations.
[09:59] <zowch> panclock: I actually just had that issue!
[10:00] <CheshireViking> panclock, is it every website, or just websites with embed flash animations or graphics?
[10:00] <zowch> After you installed flash, right?
[10:00] <panclock> zowch; Solution?
[10:00] <elw0od> damned flash
[10:00] <zowch> If you change your default display depth to 24 it fixes it. :)
[10:00] <panclock> CheshireViking; Generally all of them.
[10:00] <panclock> Some times it works, some times it doesn't.
[10:00] <Frogzoo> zowch: ouch!
[10:00] <panclock> zowch; I REFUSE!
[10:00] <tenzin> hi
[10:01] <macd> panclock, the run it from terminal like this "strace -o firefox.dump firefox"
[10:01] <tenzin> how can I change my GRUB booting order of the Operatingsystems?
[10:01] <macd> then go paste that firefox.dump in a pastebin
[10:02] <CheshireViking> panclock, if its flash thats causing the problem, it might be worth looking at this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox - there's abit at the bottom of the flash section about firefox crashing when going to a flash enabled website
[10:02] <panclock> Eh, edgy?
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: i updated /etc/fstab, and then went into terminal and entered sudo mount /dev/md1 /raid
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> and so far it hasn't done anything
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> hasn't put me back to a command prompt
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> no errors
[10:03] <vegasmcpc> nothing
[10:03] <Azrael|Arbeit> so befor i start asking dumb metaquestions i just start right off
[10:03] <zowch> Yeah, that sounds like the same issue.
[10:03] <Azrael|Arbeit> im trying to play WoW on ubuntu 6.10 with wine 3.31
[10:03] <Azrael|Arbeit> the big proglem is i cna play like 30 mins an then the whole mashine freezes (<-- stupid word sry)
[10:03] <eck> what command allows you to change the initscripts run at the various runlevels?
[10:03] <zowch> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/62988
[10:04] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: hmm...

[10:04] <Azrael|Arbeit> anyone got an idea what to do?
[10:05] <eck> ecker: you can add wallpaper from any directory
[10:05] <ecker> thought it was in /usr/share/wallpapers
[10:05] <vegasmcpc> Azrael|Arbeit: take it as a sign from god that you play wow too much
[10:05] <vegasmcpc> j/k

[10:05] <dejx> what apt-get install .. i must wrote?
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> maybe but...that don't helps me out much vegasmcpc ;)
[10:06] <panclock> Question.
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> sry for my bad english btw...
[10:06] <panclock> Could it be a gnome theme causing the error?
[10:06] <livevil> Does someone can help me? I've installed wrong video driver and ubuntu interface doesn't start, I've tried to edit /etc/modules by "vi" from "recovery mode", deleting nvidia to avoid drivers start at boot. But I don't know how to save after. I dont' know "vi" command to save
[10:06] <vegasmcpc> Azrael|Arbeit: i know, sorry
[10:06] <Frogzoo> Azrael|Arbeit: are you overclocking ....?
[10:06] <panclock> It seems that the firefox browser, without the theme is fine, for now..
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> nope
[10:06] <macd> panclock, did you run the strace command ?
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> im using a pentium 4 3,2 ghz and 2gb ram
[10:07] <macd> panclock, that will tell us exactly what is causing the problem.
[10:07] <Azrael|Arbeit> it works quite fin with win
[10:07] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: your raid hasn't come back yet?
[10:07] <vegasmcpc> well, it hasn't done anything
[10:07] <panclock> Yeah.
[10:07] <panclock> It's not doing anything.
[10:07] <vegasmcpc> it seems as though it's locked up that terminal session
[10:07] <panclock> The browser isn't erroring.
[10:07] <eck> what command is used to modify runlevels
[10:07] <panclock> That's why I asked.
[10:07] <eck> i.e. to turn services on and off
[10:08] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: I would say the raid isn't built right - the mount should come straight back
[10:08] <vegasmcpc> that's...likely
[10:08] <macd> panclock, well as soon as it does error and crash you can get the info from the firefox.dump file and find the cause
[10:08] <vegasmcpc> i'm a noob
[10:08] <Frogzoo> !raid | vegasmcpc
[10:08] <ubotu> vegasmcpc: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[10:08] <macd> panclock, if it hasnt error'd yet, its not b/c firefox was run from terminal since gnome theme is still applied to the browser
[10:09] <Azrael|Arbeit> is there an errorlog or somethng for ubuntu?
[10:09] <killux> i just upgraded from dapper to edgy, but now firefox doesn't work.
[10:09] <macd> Azrael|Arbeit, /var/log/*
[10:09] <vegasmcpc> will it screw anything up if i just reformat the drives?
[10:09] <vegasmcpc> erm
[10:09] <vegasmcpc> fdisk them
[10:09] <Azrael|Arbeit> i checked var/log/messages
[10:09] <Azrael|Arbeit> but ther was nothing
[10:09] <panclock> macd, the theme isn't applied to it.
[10:09] <Hasrat_USA> http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2cg6.png macd
[10:09] <killux> like i click the icon and it looks like its trying to load but then it just shutsdown
[10:09] <panclock> It's being weird.
[10:10] <macd> panclock, thats very odd, but it sounds like you found your problem
[10:10] <panclock> Indeed.
[10:10] <panclock> I might scrap this distro anyway.
[10:10] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: nope - but you'd best rebuild the raid
[10:10] <panclock> Move to dapper.
[10:10] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: something like: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hd[ac] 1
[10:10] <PwcrLinux> killux: what program unexpected quits?
[10:10] <macd> Hasrat_USA, now click on the ext3 partition and up its size
[10:10] <killux> firefox
[10:10] <eck> uh, you mean {} not []  right?
[10:10] <PwcrLinux> killux: with FP9?
[10:11] <killux> i dont know, how do i check the verison?
[10:11] <macd> panclock, you mean release not distro ;)
[10:11] <macd> panclock, and dapper is considered to be stable and edgy still has some issues.
[10:11] <panclock> Er, yeah.
[10:12] <killux> PwcrLinux, how do i check?
[10:12] <vegasmcpc> when i built it i used sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
[10:12] <adriyel> hmm
[10:12] <vegasmcpc> that should work, right?
[10:12] <panclock> What's the issues with edgy?
[10:12] <panclock> Major?
[10:12] <macd> I wouldnt use edgy anywhere I needed to be productive.
[10:12] <PwcrLinux> killux: open browser and type  about:config  then look down at very bottom which you have FP version
[10:12] <panclock> Or.. just minor things?
[10:12] <panclock> Ah.
[10:12] <jellobean> does anyone have problems running edgy with a geforce 6800 pci express?
[10:12] <Hasrat_USA> when i do that, the same problem remains. it won't let me do it. i make some 'unallocated' 20 GB from NTFS and click New to make a partition out of it, but it says it's not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions macd
[10:12] <macd> panclock, goto launchpad.net and you can see
[10:12] <killux> PwcrLinux, i cant even open the browser
[10:12] <panclock> Thanks for the update.
[10:12] <panclock> lol
[10:12] <Hasrat_USA> jellobean: yes
[10:12] <killux> it says like its loading but then it just closes
[10:12] <Azrael|Arbeit> what can be the problem when my mashine instantly freezes? and ther is no entry in the errorlog...-.-
[10:12] <Hasrat_USA> although i fixed it ;)
[10:13] <macd> Hasrat_USA, you dont want to make a new partition from that space you just want to resize the ext3 one, does it still give you that problem?
[10:13] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: actually, i had to use /dev/.static/dev/md1 instead...idk why but it changed to that for edgy
[10:13] <jellobean> hasrat...what kind of problems did you have and how did you fix it?
[10:13] <jellobean> hasrat: mine freezes on boot up
[10:13] <killux> PwcrLinux, do you know how to fix?
[10:13] <PwcrLinux> killux: FP 9 have bugs, you can move the libflashplayer.so out of plugin directory to the backup directory then you can try open FF
[10:14] <panclock> Damn.
[10:14] <panclock> That's a lot of bugs.
[10:14] <killux> ok ill try that
[10:14] <killux> where is it located?
[10:14] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: /dev/md1 should have worked, not sure what that device you're pointing at is for...
[10:14] <Hasrat_USA> macd yeah still the same prob. here's the latest screenshot http://img359.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3ev6.png
[10:14] <dejx> is there anyway to install java5 via apt-get ?
[10:15] <vegasmcpc> it gives you an error if you do it as /dev/md1 on edgy...trust me, it took a day of me pounding my head against the wall to figure out that they changed it
[10:15] <macd> Hasrat_USA, how about if you click apply then try to resize the ext3 one?
[10:15] <mneptok> dejx: yes. enable universe.
[10:15] <dejx> i did
[10:15] <panclock> macd; Thanks for the url, I now know not to use Edgy for a while.
[10:15] <Hasrat_USA> i can't even click the 'up' arrow. it's shaded
[10:15] <Hasrat_USA> i can't input, let's say for example, 20124
[10:15] <vegasmcpc> panclock: why shouldn't you use edgy?
[10:16] <macd> panclock, launchpad is great, especially since you can see bugs by a number of different criteria
[10:16] <Hasrat_USA> jellobean: first of all what's ur problem?
[10:16] <panclock> vegasmcpc; It needs a lot of bug fixes, apparently.
[10:16] <panclock> I'll just switch to dapper, when I get unlazy.
[10:16] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: in a separate terminal, sudo mdadm --monitor /dev/md1
[10:17] <vegasmcpc> panclock: i just wish that they would make a nice gui interface for setting up raid
[10:17] <Hasrat_USA> hmmm macd seems like i'm f****-up for real :(
[10:17] <PwcrLinux> killux: Places > Home > (show hidden in menu list TICKED in) and look for .mozilla folder and look for plugins.. then move the libflashplayer.so to backup directory.
[10:17] <panclock> vegasmcpc; Eh, I suppose so. but this has got to be the most ease-of-us Linux distro there is.
[10:17] <panclock> Well, aside from MDK, but that just bites.
[10:17] <vegasmcpc> Feb 20 04:17:22: DegradedArray on /dev/md1 unknown device
[10:17] <panclock> use*
[10:18] <panclock> I need to put in my other drive. -sigh-.
[10:18] <dejx> mneptok what universe sound i add?
[10:18] <vegasmcpc> panclock: i agree, and i would imagine that the reason for not having a nice easy raid program is probably because most people don't use raid
[10:18] <Hasrat_USA> okay here is a question for you macd
[10:18] <Hasrat_USA> if i delete my linux's swap partition, would it affect my linux installation?
[10:18] <mneptok> dejx: the repository
[10:18] <macd> Hasrat_USA, dont do that
[10:18] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: that's the response that i got when i used that command
[10:18] <Hasrat_USA> cause if i delete linux's swap, i can do whatever you told me to do
[10:18] <mneptok> !repos > dejx
[10:18] <dejx> okej
[10:18] <panclock> vegasmcpc; Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's about right.
[10:19] <panclock> lol
[10:19] <dejx> i was trying to install java5
[10:19] <dejx> but i see theres java6 avaible
[10:19] <yomm>   vegas : i find mdadm is a breeze to use :)
[10:19] <macd> Hasrat_USA, well unless youve got 2gb or more ram, linux needs swap.
[10:19] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: most serious linux users use raid - there's no gui because people don't want gui bugs to break their data
[10:19] <Hasrat_USA> it's because i believe i made a mistake when partitioning previously. i made the linux swap primary, linux ext3 primary, and everything primary :(
[10:19] <macd> most serious users use hardware raid ;)
[10:19] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: makes sense
[10:19] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: well that doesn't look like the raid is happy :(
[10:19] <Hasrat_USA> i should have made the ext3 primary and linux swap extended, shouldn't have i?
[10:19] <vegasmcpc> yomm: must be nice...i'm a noob
[10:19] <Jackz> I had a problem with installing Edgy EFT, and so installed Feisty Fawn instead, but I'm sure I've fixed the problem that was preventing me from installing Edgy. Is it worth the time to revert? How glitchy is Feisty?
[10:19] <PwcrLinux> my breezy looks bad shape right now, I'm waiting for LTS 6.06 come in from the order online..
[10:20] <meisam> guys sorry u have any idea where to save the jsp files?
[10:20] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: how do i stop it?  i'm cool with starting from scratch, i just don't want to piss the machine off
[10:20] <yomm> vegas : I'm no expert either :)
[10:20] <killux> doesnt work
[10:20] <macd> Hasrat_USA, no, you havent done anything wrong, Im not sure why it will not let you resize after shrinking your ntfs partition
[10:20] <killux> PwcrLinux,
[10:20] <killux> it doesnt work
[10:20] <Kris128> okay, now this is a serious problem, is there any way to get a hold of ntfs-config at the moment?
[10:20] <panclock> PwcrLinux; My Breezy looks sexy.
[10:20] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: does ^C kill the mount ?
[10:20] <panclock> :>
[10:20] <Kris128> seems like the official site is down
[10:21] <killux> what shoould i do?
[10:21] <Hasrat_USA> it's because during partitioning, i made all the partitions on primary partitions. i didn't create any extended ones. now it's telling me that i can't create more than 4 primary partitions
[10:21] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: seems to
[10:21] <dettoaltrimenti_> when I download a document through adept, where does it save to? like abs-guide
[10:21] <Jackz> I had a problem with installing Edgy EFT, and so installed Feisty Fawn instead, but I'm sure I've fixed the problem that was preventing me from installing Edgy. Is it worth the time to revert? How glitchy is Feisty?
[10:21] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: cool, gtg, gl
[10:21] <vegasmcpc> now is there a command to just kill off the raid array?
[10:22] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: just reboot & rebuild
[10:22] <dejx> hm
[10:22] <macd> Hasrat_USA, well you can try to make the ext3 and the swap partition extended, then resize the ext3 one, but honestly Im not sure how that will afeect GRUB when you try to boot linux, you may have to mount the partition /boot is on, then redo the /dev/hdax or /dev/sdax assignments
[10:22] <panclock> Jackz; Feisty is a new release, I would revert back to a more stable release. I'm not sure if anyone would agree, but that's just my opinion.
[10:22] <dejx> i have 100mbit, and when i apt-get i always have max 30kb/s
[10:22] <kidbuntu> how do you auto run a torrent download everytime the ubuntu starts up?
[10:22] <dejx> which are fast reps?
[10:22] <PwcrLinux> killux: or you can do in the terminal box,   locate libflashplayer.so   make sure it's says /mozilla/plugins  then  mv libflashplayer.so to desktop or whatever you want to move to back up folder..
[10:23] <Jackz> Yeah I'll probably do that here before long, thanks for the opinion.
[10:23] <macd> Hasrat_USA, its 3:30am here and I need to jet, hopefully someone else can help you out
[10:23] <RossC0> Hi all - any ideas how I can set up a port forward or what software I should use?
[10:24] <Hasrat_USA> ok no prob man take care :)
[10:24] <Jewfro-Macabbi> RossCO, you mean something like privoxy or stunnel?
[10:24] <RossC0> I want to proxy port 9000 > 9001 for xdebug
[10:24] <macd> Hasrat_USA, good luck with it, if I see you here tomm. I'll make sure you got it worked out
[10:25] <PwcrLinux> panclock: hehe, yea I am using back-up kernel 9 for now.. still sluggish. I am waiting for LTS come in,  the kernel installation went berseked and doubling installation configs..
[10:25] <panclock> PwcrLinux; LOL. Man, that's crazy.
[10:25] <RossC0> thanks Jewfro-Macabbi: privoxy looks to be the one :)
[10:25] <panclock> I'm going to wait for my Dapper CD to come in the mail, and then switch to that.
[10:25] <panclock> Seeing as Breezy is about to not be supported anymore.
[10:26] <PwcrLinux> panclock: yep, prolly the team mistakes double codes in there..
[10:27] <PwcrLinux> panclock: yea they will end of support in april 2007
[10:27] <Kris128> anyone have the file ntfs-config-0.5.4.tar.gz ???
[10:27] <Kris128> their site is down so i can't get it from there
[10:27] <panclock> PwcrLinux; Thus the reason for the switch. (;
[10:27] <Kris128> and i desperately need it since i reinstalled ubuntu this morning and need to be able to write to my usb-drive
[10:27] <PwcrLinux> panclock: I backed up everything for bookmarks, xchat files and etc..
[10:28] <panclock> PwcrLinux; Ah, smart idea.
[10:28] <nf4> hello
[10:28] <Kris128> i believe there is a 0.5.5 also but it doesn't matter
[10:28] <panclock> I'm going to start from scratch.
[10:29] <nf4> I was wondering if there is a expiranced linux user in here who would be willing to help me on a small program install
[10:29] <ecker> on gnome when using a transparent how do you change the color of ur fonts so they can be red? and sorry for the noob questions just never ran anything other then kde
[10:29] <ecker> panel*
[10:30] <CheshireViking> nf4, you're best just asking about which program you want to install
[10:30] <nf4> globe7
[10:30] <nf4> is the program
[10:31] <nf4> it has a fc4 and fc5 package also a suse package
[10:31] <nf4> i am using ubuntu 6.10
[10:31] <PwcrLinux> I wondering, when I get the LTS 6.06 arrives, can I put the installation and whipe the whole HD and install fresh LTS and I will put the backup file back in..
[10:31] <ardchoille> nf4: It's not good to use .rpm packages in Ubuntu. You're better off compiling from source.
[10:31] <panclock> rpm is the devil.
[10:32] <nf4> even with alien ?
[10:32] <mzuverink> in conky I have it set to give me drive information for "/" , "/home/..." andd for a few removable drive.  However both "/" and "home/..." are on the same drive and they give me the same information regarding usage.  How do I make it only give me the amount that "home" is using and not the rest of that drive?
[10:32] <Goshawk> i was looking for the "mail" program in ubuntu to read mails, where is its? it seems that it's not installed by default.
[10:33] <nf4> they dont seem to offer the source
[10:33] <yomm> How can I see the list of installed foonts on my system ? ( I need to pass them as a parameter , but I din't know what exactly to type )
[10:33] <Jewfro-Macabbi> nf4, it's still trying to convert a file not designed for your system, but if that is your only option...
[10:33] <panclock> Goshawk; Have you tried Evolution?
[10:33] <ailean> I was thinking of getting a Mac and dual-booting with Ubuntu.  Has anyone done this? And if so, what hardware incompatibilities have you had (if any)?
[10:33] <ardchoille> nf4: Is this app for free phone calls?
[10:33] <nf4> yes
[10:33] <yomm> panclock , I think mb he means the system mail app
[10:33] <ardchoille> !voip
[10:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about voip - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:34] <Goshawk> panclock: i've to read swystem mails
[10:34] <nf4> you watch advertise ment and you can talk to any one in the world
[10:34] <panclock> Ah.
[10:34] <Goshawk> panclock: in a server environment
[10:34] <ardchoille> nf4: There's a way to do that in Linux without the adverts ;)
[10:34] <nf4> to where it will work on my cell phone?
[10:34] <ardchoille> !ekiga | nf4
[10:34] <ubotu> nf4: ekiga: H.323 and SIP compatible VOIP client. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.3-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 3582 kB, installed size 12568 kB
[10:35] <nf4> i think only free voip on linux
[10:35] <Lucifel> mzuverink, du -sch /home
[10:35] <nf4> this will give me  local number in the country i choose i belive
[10:35] <ardchoille> nf4: You didn't mention cell phone in your original question.
[10:35] <MeisterZopf> I can't start my gnome-terminal. It says: "BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)". Any ideas?
[10:36] <nf4> Well i have freinds in phillipines who use this and get a local usa number
[10:36] <yomm> !botsnack
[10:36] <ubotu> Yum!
[10:36] <koth> Hi there, is anyone have experence in installing/setup grub?
[10:36] <PwcrLinux> lol
[10:36] <ardchoille> nf4: So, you are looking for help to install something on your cell phone?
[10:36] <mzuverink> Lucifel, how do I put that into conkyrc?  I know that command, but unsure of how to do it in conky
[10:37] <dejx>  /
[10:37] <nf4> I trying to figure a cheaper way to contact my fiancee
[10:37] <nf4> no not on my cell phone
[10:37] <ailean> nf4, from where to where?
[10:37] <nf4> i need this program on my computer to get the credits i belive
[10:38] <ardchoille> nf4: I believe ekiga can help you with that. It's voip.
[10:38] <ailean> nf4, ekiga is great
[10:38] <ardchoille> nf4: Oh, so you're looking to install that specific app?
[10:38] <nf4> yes becouse i have no mic on my system
[10:38] <nf4> if i install that app i can get my gf a local usa number to call her
[10:39] <Lucifel> mzuverink ahh, sorry, not familiar enough with that
[10:39] <dejx> okej
[10:39] <mzuverink> nf4, skype will also do it, though she needs to use it too on her computer.  There are other sip/void phones out there that are not proprietary like skype.  and a cheap mic is like only 3 US dollars
[10:40] <dejx> why is vi + int,del keys weird on my installation?
[10:40] <aleitner> join #ubuntu
[10:40] <koth> Hi there, does anyone have experence in configuring GRUB?
[10:40] <Lucifel> mzuverink #conky would prolly be able to help you more though
[10:40] <ailean> I was thinking of getting a Mac and dual-booting with Ubuntu.  Has anyone done this? And if so, what hardware incompatibilities have you had (if any)?
[10:40] <aleitner> anybody knows if xorg 7.2 is still going to make it into feisty?
[10:40] <mzuverink> Lucifel, ok, thanks for the help, i appreciate it
[10:40] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ailean, intel mac would be easier
[10:40] <ardchoille> nf4: I don't think globe7 is free
[10:41] <nf4> Ok thank you i guess i will by a mic i am worried that it wont work though becouse i had mic of a freinds that didnt work in 6.06
[10:41] <Lucifel> NP mzuverink
[10:41] <dejx> and how can i enable english layout
[10:41] <nf4> well they have pay options too but if you watch there flash videos you get credits
[10:42] <ardchoille> nf4: From I see from their website, they have a certain amount of free minutes, then is switches to a pay plan.
[10:42] <ailean> Jewfro-Macabbi, sure, i'm going to get an Intel Mac.  I thought that was a given nowadays :D  But is there any reason for it not to work perfectly?
[10:42] <nf4> well its under one cents per minute
[10:42] <Jewfro-Macabbi> nf4, try fiddling with "alsamixergui" and that mic again...
[10:42] <ardchoille> nf4: http://www.globe7.com/rateplan.php It says The rate plan applies to free minutes too.
[10:43] <ardchoille> nf4: ekiga is free :)
[10:43] <nf4> and you get  a few pennys per show
[10:43] <Arcad3> how can i restrict users in my box?
[10:43] <nf4> ok i will buy mic tomorrow then
[10:43] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ailean, well, for certainly you could compare the hardware spec sheet of your potential mac with a hardware comapability list for your linux distro
[10:43] <nf4> if i can find   a store that sells one
[10:43] <nf4> thank you
[10:44] <ailean> Jewfro-Macabbi, okay.  I thought since they're all very similar, someone would have already done it.  Thanks :)
[10:44] <nf4> i practiced converting rpms but only was secsessfull by following word for word guides
[10:45] <nf4> but avg is installed and seems to work perfectly
[10:45] <ardchoille> nf4: Converting an rpm to use in Ubuntu can not only wreck your system it can send you into dependency hell.
[10:45] <Goshawk> how to read system mails?
[10:46] <nf4> ok i will keep that in mind
[10:46] <koth> Hi there, i just finish install ubuntu, after the reboot, black screen
[10:46] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Goshawk, "mail", in the terminal
[10:46] <yomm_> Goshawk : do a search in synaptic on system mail , perhaps you cab see which is ( if
[10:46] <yomm_>           there is .. ) already installed , and otherwise there should be quite a few
[10:46] <yomm_>           results :)
[10:46] <nf4> any one know what a .sob file is ?
[10:46] <koth> and the monitor saod input sigal out of range, i have try 2 monitor already
[10:46] <yomm_> sry wrng paste :/
[10:47] <koth> anyone have idea how i can fix it?
[10:47] <Arcad3> can i make my own custom shell like bash,sh in Ubuntu?
[10:48] <Goshawk> Jewfro-Macabbi: thsi is the cool thing "mail" does not exist
[10:48] <ardchoille> nf4: If you want to keep your system safe. Follow these rules: 1st choice install from official repos using the package manager, 2nd choice find a .deb package that was made for Ubuntu, 3rd choice compile from source. If you can't find any of those options, then you are left with two more choices.. look for another app to do the job or do without.
[10:48] <Arcad3> koth:the rezolution is to high
[10:49] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Goshawk, maybe it's something I have installed... worked for me...  "aptitude search system mail", lots of programs for it
[10:49] <nf4> thanks for that info
[10:49] <koth> Arcad3: is there anyway i can set it to a lower res?
[10:49] <koth> Arcad: before i go into the gui?
[10:49] <nf4> it is strange to me that in the guide about avg never mentions it was dangerous just how useless it was
[10:50] <Arcad3> at what stage gives u the black screen?
[10:50] <koth> Arcad3: after the ubuntu loadbar.
[10:50] <ardchoille> nf4: They are getting money fro their customers. Do you really think they are going to say their software is dangerous?
[10:50] <Arcad3> at the boot screen is the option "Safe graphics mode"
[10:50] <iveen> iveen
[10:51] <nf4> no i mean in ubuntu forums about avgfree
[10:51] <ardchoille> nf4: Ah, ok
[10:51] <koth> Arcad3: there is something like a "recover mode" in GRUB
[10:51] <nf4> where i practice about rpm conversion
[10:51] <Arcad3> yes
[10:51] <Arcad3> try that
[10:51] <Arcad3> it will give u a console
[10:51] <koth> Arcad3: Ok, i will have to power cycle the computer first then
[10:52] <Arcad3> there type as root "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[10:52] <iveen> wil jy nie saam my chat nie
[10:52] <koth> Arcad3: i am going ot do a reset, if it is ok?
[10:52] <becki> in the usplash howto is written the image can have 256colors and a high relsolution, but pngtobogl only works on 640x480 16colors. how can i else convert my image to a working c code? (gimp's c-code doesn't work)
[10:52] <Arcad3> wait
[10:52] <yomm_> nf4 : why dangerous ?
[10:52] <Arcad3> remember this command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:52] <nf4> ardchoille,  told me rmp can ruin a ubuntu system
[10:52] <koth> o ok, i am on a different computer =)
[10:53] <nf4> *rpm
[10:53] <Arcad3> oke :)
[10:53] <ardchoille> !alien
[10:53] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[10:53] <yomm_> nf4 : ah ok I thought you were talking about avg :)
[10:53] <nf4> Well that was rpm
[10:53] <ardchoille> nf4: See what ubotu said about alien?
[10:53] <nf4> that is why i said that
[10:53] <yomm_> i see !
[10:54] <koth> Arcad3: Reset, in the recover mode, lot of things running
[10:55] <Arcad3> type in the command
[10:55] <koth> Arcad3: lot of DriverStatusError
[10:55] <Trixsey> I've recently added a link to matlab (executing the command "matlab &") but I only get the matlab spash screen (I think it's trying to run in terminal mode)... But when I do "matlab &" in terminal it works - Tips?

[10:56] <Arcad3> oke
[10:56] <Arcad3> what Graphics card ati nvidia?
[10:56] <koth> ati,
[10:56] <FurryNemesis> noo
[10:57] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Trixsey, you should be able to adjust the properties of your link to automatically run the program in terminal mode
[10:57] <FurryNemesis> nvidia - better support
[10:57] <Arcad3> choose lower rezolution
[10:57] <Arcad3> 800X600
[10:57] <koth> Arcad3: there are x server driver selection: sis. sisusb, tdfx, tga, trident, tseng, vesa
[10:58] <Arcad3> choose ati

[11:01] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:01] <adriyel_> sigh.

[11:01] <payam> How can i install Java?
[11:01] <Trixsey> Jewfro-Macabbi,

[11:07] <Arcad3> see http://ubuntuguide.org for other questions like How to install muzic player...
[11:07] <Arcad3> say
[11:08] <koth> Arcad3: is it possible to add more resulution later on?
[11:08] <distant_voice> I'm having problems booting Ubuntu from the 6.06 cd. where to turn? can I just ask here?
[11:08] <Arcad3> yes
[11:08] <Arcad3> run that command an mark high resolutions
[11:08] <koth> Arcad3: can i specific the res? I am actually going to use it with a HDTV, 1280x720. I don't see that as a slection
[11:09] <Arcad3> in the upper menu bar choose System>Preferences>Screen resolution
[11:09] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice, I also have a computer that can't boot from Ubuntu CD. It tries to mount the filesystem, and stops while doing that. I believe it's because the computer doesn't have enough memory.
[11:10] <koth> Arcad3: ok, i will give it a try
[11:10] <distant_voice> exactly my problem
[11:10] <distant_voice> I do have a whole free HD and 1 GB of Ram though
[11:10] <distant_voice> if that's not enough I don't know
[11:10] <babo> how do I turn off my mousepad guys ?
[11:10] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: should be enough. How fast of a processor do you have?
[11:10] <distant_voice> 6.10 can boot from the dvd
[11:10] <distant_voice> 3800++ AMD
[11:11] <distant_voice> AMD64 if it matters
[11:11] <elyon225> Could someone please help me figure out why my sound stopped working??  All I did was install libmtp and Amarok (along with KDE)
[11:11] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: I'm not sure how to help you. xD I simply installed it on my slightly better computer, and it worked.
[11:11] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: maybe you can help with my 6.1 problem?
[11:11] <AmaroqWolf> 6.1?
[11:11] <Arcad3> someone can give me a how to make a custom shell like bash??
[11:12] <elyon225> ...which was stupid because Amarok STILL doesn't recognize my mp3 player...
[11:12] <noiano> Hello
[11:12] <aborilov> Hi all!
[11:12] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: before I downloaded the 6.06 I tried the 6.10 dvd. It runs and install fine up to point where you reboot for the first time
[11:12] <noiano> Security question: putting an user in SSh group is bad?
[11:12] <Dustyhawk> hello people, i have somewhat of a question.
[11:12] <aborilov> anybody found any gui for ffmpeg?
[11:12] <Slart> !ask | Dustyhawk
[11:12] <ubotu> Dustyhawk: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:12] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: it shuts down, asks me to remove the cd (which I do) and then crashes
[11:12] <Dustyhawk> hey there, when reloading Synaptics, i'm getting this error "http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-backports/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) "  <---what does this mean and what should i do ?
[11:13] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: when I press reset to reboot either nothing has changed and windows comes up or I get "error loading operating system"
[11:13] <Slart> Dustyhawk: sounds like either gzip is broken.. or the zip-file synaptic tried to download and open was corrupt
[11:13] <payam> i can no find the Java
[11:13] <Slart> Dustyhawk: but if that zip was corrupt more people would be complaining
[11:14] <Dustyhawk> slart - hmm, is there anything i can do on my end ?
[11:14] <Slart> Dustyhawk: I'd just wait a while and try again..
[11:14] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: did you boot from the CD originally and install from that? Or did you install while still running windows?
[11:14] <Arcad3> Dustyhawk: http://ubuntuguide.org navigate to "How to add extrarepositoryes"
[11:14] <Dustyhawk> Arcad3 many thanks
[11:14] <AmaroqWolf> cd/dvd
[11:14] <Arcad3> np
[11:14] <Slart> Dustyhawk: change repos
[11:14] <payam> apple?
[11:14] <elyon225> I just compiled and installed mtp and Amarok in Ubuntu edgy, but now my sound doesn't work at all (and Amarok STILL doesn't recognize my mp3 player, although mtp-detect does).  Could someone please help me get my sound back??
[11:14] <payam> is the sam?
[11:14] <Slart> Dustyhawk: bah.. what Arcad3 said =)
[11:14] <koth> Arcad3: when i connect the computer with my TV, the problem came back. will ubuntu auto detect the screen size?
[11:15] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: I booted from the 6.10 dvd, Ubuntu comes up and works fine, then I chose install and everything seemed to work perfectly until it tries to shut donw
[11:15] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: you said windows still comes up?
[11:15] <Arcad3> yes..
[11:16] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: ya, it looks like it didn't partition right or something, don't you think?
[11:16] <jmazaredo> is there a scandisk like disk repair for ubuntu
[11:16] <Trixsey> If I run matlab in terminal ("matlab &") it works just fine, but when I make a link executing the very same command (or a bash-script), all I get is the matlab splash screen! Tips?
[11:16] <cyclops> I have a very weird issue with screen off, my screen saver runs, the screen turns off, and then I can't get the screen saver to ever come back on unless I kill X (ctrl+alt+backspace).  Any help?  Running Ubuntu Edgy.
[11:16] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: I'm already thinking my bootsector is write protected, but I doubt that
[11:16] <koth> Arcad3: is there any way i can fix the resulotion?
[11:16] <payam> Can I have IE on my Linux?
[11:16] <Arcad3> its beyound me..
[11:16] <Arcad3> !ati
[11:16] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:17] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: and there's no option in my bios like I found on a friends laptop
[11:17] <koth> Arcad3: ok! thanks
[11:17] <Jewfro-Macabbi> payam, there is a program ies4linux, for installing IE
[11:17] <Slart> jmazaredo: there's always fsck, you want to unmount the drive first though
[11:17] <Arcad3> what is "bah"??
[11:17] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: If you don't even want windows anymore, you could just reformat the hard drive and install ubuntu on the blank hard drive.
[11:17] <payam> Firefox doesnt have Java right?
[11:17] <Slart> firefox has java
[11:17] <payam> But i cant update my site
[11:18] <Slart> or.. not installed with firefox.. you have to install it separately.. but it supports java
[11:18] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: I don't have alot of experiance in this area though, so you might want to get help from someone more knowledgeable than me.
[11:18] <payam> my edit tolls doesnt come
[11:18] <koth> Arcad3: "bah" is a sound..., like "Sigh"
[11:18] <payam> ools
[11:18] <payam> toools
[11:18] <pequatre> hi everyone. I'm using IceWM as a WM. does anyone knows how to allow a normal user to shut down the computer ? right now she needs to be root (using the menu, not the cli)
[11:18] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: problem is I do want it still, and I don't want to format the whole thing because there's still data I need
[11:18] <Jewfro-Macabbi> payam, you need to go to "system, administration, software properties", and enable all the repositories, so you can install stuff like java.
[11:18] <Arcad3> :|
[11:18] <nf4> using the nvida beta drivers it comes with  settings program that has refesh rate i set it auto the 'screen resolution under the system menu has 50 and 52Hz as options if i select 75Hz under the nvidia settings it shoots the "screen resolotion" menu up to 91hz
[11:18] <Slart> payam: perhaps your site uses some non-standard thingy..
[11:18] <nf4> using the nvida beta drivers it comes with  settings program that has refesh rate i set it auto the 'screen resolution under the system menu has 50 and 52Hz as options if i select 75Hz under the nvidia settings it shoots the "screen resolotion" menu up to 91hz
[11:18] <payam> i did that
[11:18] <nf4> sorry for two times guys
[11:18] <Slart> payam: what flavour of java are you using?
[11:18] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: one last thing: did you get some kind of error message when Ubuntu couldn't mount your root file system?
[11:19] <payam> Java 1,4 can not be installed
[11:19] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: because I did
[11:19] <cyclops> anyone listening?
[11:19] <payam> i dont know
[11:19] <Slart> payam: java from sun?
[11:19] <payam> yes
[11:19] <Slart> payam: then it should be ok... who made the site? you?
[11:19] <payam> yes
[11:19] <payam> Mt
[11:19] <jmazaredo> i used dist-upgrade in the console updating to edgy from dapper, then electricity run out, will using synaptic or update manager fix all?
[11:20] <elw0od> jmazaredo, i suppose yes
[11:20] <Arcad3> jmazaredo:download the .iso is safer
[11:20] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: Usually on a windows installation, it takes up the entire hard drive. If you still have space on the hard drive, you can use a utility that can alter the partition and give yourself some empty space to work with, because ubuntu and windows have to be on seperate partitions. You should back up everything before you do that though, since there is a chance that things could go wrong. And no, I didn't get an error.
[11:20] <AmaroqWolf> The progress bar just stopped and stayed like that.
[11:20] <payam> i wna take a picture
[11:20] <payam> waite
[11:20] <Slart> payam: then I'd go ask in some java programming channel.. perhaps you've done something that's only supported in internet explorer.. or something along those line.. I don't tihnk it's firefox's fault
[11:21] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: okay thx anyway. the partitioning thing isn't a problem I know how to work gparted
[11:21] <payam> i wana show you
[11:21] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: oh, okay xD
[11:21] <Dustyhawk> oh dear me. synaptics has gone bad on me.
[11:21] <Slart> payam: ok
[11:21] <Dustyhawk> from that error just now .. im getting this now.  " W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper-security_main_binary-i386_Packages)

[11:22] <yomm> oops
[11:23] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, there's the offchance your problem is with the "live CD", and using the alternate install CD instead might help.
[11:23] <Dustyhawk> jewfro - to delete is "del" right ?
[11:24] <Arcad3> rm -rf
[11:24] <jmazaredo> live cd got a bug?
[11:24] <DarthLappy> Arcad3: -rf isn't always fun.

[11:24] <PeRCeVaL> Morning all
[11:24] <distant_voice> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu: 6.06 won't boot from the cd (it can't mount the root file system and gives me a lenghty error message I jotted down if it's important), 6.10 boots and installs fine up to the point where you need to restart. it crashes right after it asks me to remove the disk, then when I press reset it either boots up windows again or gives me "error booting operating system"
[11:25] <[Kork] > hi. i'm searching for a program to merge some mp3s
[11:25] <Dustyhawk> pfft. well since this is a new install... i'll do the best thing. Reinstall dapper >D

[11:26] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, you could also try netinstall using a miminum boot image as well.

[11:34] <Slart> payam: ok.. first of all.. you're using konqueror... not firefox.. and somehow I doubt you wrote Movable Type.. =) google doesn't mention any problems using konqueror with movable type.. so I guess it's up to your java installation.. you'll have to ask someone else about that.. I don't use konqueror since I'm on gnome.. but ask the channel about that.. someone's bound to be able to help you
[11:35] <payam> its the same with firefox
