[06:16] <shearn89> sdrowkcab: its in there by default.
[06:16] <darkchr0n0s> anyone who can help me adjusting LCD brightness in my Laptop (Sony Vaio, VGN-CR14GN)
[06:17] <soundray> !wifi > b0lle, see the private message from ubotu. If you get stuck, come back and ask more specifically.
[06:17] <Innomen> well look at that
[06:17] <Innomen> windows hijacked the bootflag again
[06:17] <Innomen> shearn89: i dont prefix because i'm talking to everyone and anyone who can help
[06:18] <soundray> Innomen: it will stop doing that once you ask grub to take over the mbr
[06:18] <Innomen> soundray: and how is that done?
[06:18] <coldboot> darkchr0n0s: How is it adjusted in Windows?
[06:18] <coldboot> darkchr0n0s: By pure software?
[06:18] <soundray> !grub | Innomen
[06:18] <ubotu> Innomen: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:18] <Innomen> ...
[06:18] <Innomen> yhou dont know
[06:18] <Innomen> cool
[06:18] <soundray> Innomen: follow the "RecoveringUbuntu..." instructions
[06:18] <darkchr0n0s> coldboot : i can use the Fn keys... and i think i need drivers for that... so i can control using both Fn keys and the software
[06:19] <titun> leo_rockw: i have also seen a+x, is that equal to 775? or rwx rwx r-x?
[06:19] <Innomen> you have an aversion to telling me?
[06:19] <arun> Anyone here experience a lag when you open a menu? As in, it takes a couple seconds for the icons to appear?
[06:19] <soundray> Innomen: don't be obnoxious please. You're getting plenty of help.
[06:19] <coldboot> darkchr0n0s: You're sure though? My dell works without software using the Fn keys, even at the bios screen.
[06:19] <soundray> Innomen: what's the problem with reading the page ubotu points you to?
[06:19] <Innomen> no i'm not if i was i wouldent have spent 5 days here with the same problem
[06:19] <darkchr0n0s> coldboot : i'll check... rebootinh
[06:19] <Innomen> because i';ve read them/!!!
[06:19] <leo_rockw> titun, that means that all get x
[06:19] <Innomen> god
[06:20] <Innomen> you people keep treating me like i've never seen google
[06:20] <coldboot> darkchr0n0s: Just try it now.
[06:20] <coldboot> Does it work?
[06:20] <Innomen> or alternatly that i should alreayd know everything
[06:20] <Innomen> i'm in the middle ok?
[06:20] <leo_rockw> titun, you can put smth like g+r that means that group can read
[06:20] <Innomen> i need a HUMAN not a text file
[06:20] <Flats> I have an HP Officejet pro L7580 network printer. I set it up as an ipp://<IP_ADDRESS> as a network printer on CUPS server. I'm using the officejet Pro L7500 driver which uses the hpijs recommended driver. When I print, it says printing but nothing makes it to the printer. any ideas?
[06:20] <leo_rockw> titun, or u+w
[06:20] <Scunizi> Innomen, try http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm.  much easier shorter steps that have worked for me many times.
[06:20] <soundray> Innomen: but you haven't paid attention, or understood my or others' instructions. Otherwise you'd have grub in your mbr by now.
[06:20] <titun> leo_rockw: ohkey, i did sudo chmod rwxrwxr-x PCLinuxOS_2007.iso, it says invalid mode
[06:20] <Innomen> Scunizi: havent read that one
[06:20] <Innomen> brb
[06:20] <titun> leo_rockw: do i need to have space in between?
[06:21] <Pici> Innomen: Calm down.  You need to tell us either what you don't understand or where the document differs from your situation.
[06:21] <arun> anyone?
[06:21] <shearn89> arun: ?
[06:21] <arun> Anyone here experience a lag when you open a menu? As in, it takes a couple seconds for the icons to appear?
[06:21] <ikonia> arun: no
[06:21] <shearn89> arun: do you have desktop effects enabled?
[06:21] <Innomen> i'm so tired of asking the same things
[06:22] <ikonia> Innomen whats up
[06:22] <leo_rockw> titun, you need a "-" modifier
[06:22] <Scunizi> Innomen, I keep a printed reference "just in case" I hose something.. One piece of advice it give is how to setup grub on all boot partiitons incase of a drive failure or other calamity.  It's expecially usefull if you have multiple Linux's installed.
[06:22] <Innomen> i dont need a step by step "this is a terminal, now type sudo grub"
[06:22] <soundray> Innomen: you're on the edge of my ignore list. If you keep doing the same thing, how do you expect to get different results?
[06:22] <ikonia> Innomen what do you want to do ?
[06:22] <leo_rockw> titun, like this: "chmod -rwxrwxr-x PCLinuxOsetc
[06:22] <arun> shearn89: no, no desktop effects
[06:22] <shearn89> arun: what's your cpu speed?
[06:23] <arun> ok, i just changed my theme to glossy, and there's no lag here. seems like it only happens with the human theme
[06:23] <leo_rockw> titun, just that - before the first r will do the difference
[06:23] <arun> I have a dual core processor
[06:23] <arun> 1gb ram
[06:23] <soundray> ikonia: he needs to put grub in the mbr, that's all. He's got it in the root partition, and a normal Windows mbr still.
[06:23] <Juhaz> chmod does not take that kind of format.
[06:23] <powerserve> newbie here... i used gparted to format the partition wherein my windows file runs and changed it to ext2 file type.. but now i have a folder that is "lost and found" what do i do?
[06:23] <shearn89> arun: hmm. probs just takes time to find the icons. it shouldn't break anything.
[06:24] <ikonia> soundray as I recall his grub device map compared to his bios boot order is borked so hd1 is actually his boot drive not hd0
[06:24] <titun> leo_rockw: it removed all permissions for everyone!! did i do anything wrong?
[06:24] <ricardo> hello my name is rikardo
[06:24] <Scunizi> Innomen, those giving advice are now confused... what are you after?  a gui tool?
[06:24] <soundray> powerserve: that's needed by the system, no need to worry about it.
[06:24] <Innomen> ikonia: i just want to know how to install grub to whatever drive boots by default since apprently its not hd(0,0) or hd(0), or how to install it to the mbr, or how to uninstall it and reinstall it :) depending on whos solution is correct for the root problem of, windows stopping the grub menu from coming up whenever it gets a chance to boot
[06:24] <leo_rockw> Juhaz, how is it?
[06:24] <Pelo> ikonia, that's not correct as far as I know
[06:24] <powerserve> i see thank you so much soundray
[06:24] <soundray> ikonia: even if he has only one disk?
[06:25] <ikonia>  one disk ? he had 3
[06:25] <darkchr0n0s> coldboot : nope doesn't work at grub screen, so i guess i need the drivers
[06:25] <Innomen> ikonia i pulled them because of the hell i put you though
[06:25] <Flats> I have an HP Officejet pro L7580 network printer. I set it up as an ipp://<IP_ADDRESS> as a network printer on CUPS server. I'm using the officejet Pro L7500 driver which uses the hpijs recommended driver. When I print, it says printing but nothing makes it to the printer. any ideas?
[06:25] <Innomen> they are now no longer on the system
[06:25] <Innomen> and thier headers are trashed
[06:25] <soundray> ikonia: that's not what he told me. Whatever, I'm tired.
[06:25] <Juhaz> ug=rwx,o=rx
[06:25] <Innomen> i lost everything porobably but thats a whole other story
[06:25] <ikonia> Innomen so your running one disk and your doing what command for root and setup ?
[06:25] <ricardo> alguine que hable espaol
[06:25] <shearn89> ikonia: would he be able to use the alternate install disc on expert install mode to reinstall grub?

[06:33] <ikonia> Innomen can't do, if root (hd0,1) is working - its fine with your disk

[06:34] <ikonia> Innomen: ok - lets step back and check some stuff
[06:34] <gea> hello, how can i update ubuntu 7.04 to ubuntu 7.10 with aptitude?
[06:35] <genii> Flats: If you have a few jobs in there, removing the first one may allow the others to go thru. but there is a weirdness with CUPS print queue and many printers.So the prudent thing is to print raw/direct with no queueing
[06:35] <ikonia> Innomen steal the boo flag ? not sure i follow

[06:36] <Scunizi> Innomen, shot in the dark here. but I had a prob w/ SATA too.  I found out that my primary boot drive in BIOS was not plugged into SATA connector 0 (or 1 depending on how you look at it). Once I changed it and reconfigured the bios, went through setting up grub again it worked flawlessly for dual boot., CC: ikonia
[06:36] <Pelo> powerserve, if you want to installl ubuntu on it , don'T worry the installer will take care of everything, if you want to use it for storage on a system with ubuntu already installed on it , you just have to put it in the comp and mount it  ( maybe you need to format it )
[06:36] <leo_rockw> erUSUL, he has no idea about irc commands. he doesn't know how to join...
[06:37] <Flats> genii Darn, 3 days of installing and reinstalling just to change from ipp to TCP/Socket and now everything is fine......
[06:37] <erUSUL> leo_rockw: vale, no pasa nada... ya se aclarar ;)
[06:37] <Scunizi> Flats, the school of hard knocks gets softer as time goes on. .. :)
[06:37] <Innomen> ikonia: ok done
[06:37] <ikonia> Innomen: ok so now type "print"
[06:38] <ikonia> Innomen: describe to me what you see
[06:38] <Flats> genii I hope so. My head rally hurts :)
[06:38] <Innomen> Scunizi: the bios on the dell gx260 ios garbage i have almot no options, its like a super nintendo
[06:38] <darkchr0n0s> anyone who can help me with adjusting brightness (LCD) on my sony vaio VGN-CR14GN laptop, the Fn keys are not working
[06:38] <Flats> Will I lose any functionalty or
[06:38] <ljsmithx> If I compile apps from source
[06:38] <Flats> anything like that
[06:38] <Innomen> sda 1 2 3 and 5
[06:38] <ricardo> gracias a quienes me ayudaron lo logreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[06:38] <genii> Flats: Well, if the removing first job works to print the others in queue, you could just for a workaround print always a dummy job first then remove it
[06:38] <ljsmithx> Where will the compiled apps end up?
[06:38] <Scunizi> Innomen, after changing the plug on the drive to the appropriate connector on the MB, all I did was re-setup the boot order of the drives..
[06:38] <ricardo> chao que esten bien
[06:39] <Innomen> linux, ntfs, extended and swap
[06:39] <leo_rockw> darkchr0n0s, in kde i have this app called power manager that allows me to do that through a slider, isn't there anything like that in ubuntu?
[06:39] <Dr_willis> ljsmithx,  depends on how they are configured
[06:39] <ikonia> Innomen ahhh ok - thats different to your layout
[06:39] <Innomen> Scunizi: right on
[06:39] <leo_rockw> darkchr0n0s, i mean gnome
[06:39] <ricardo> quix
[06:39] <Dr_willis> ljsmithx,  most ./configure scripts have a option to set the install dir.
[06:39] <Flats> no it didn't, I had to change from ipp to TCP/Socket connection. Then everything printed
[06:39] <ikonia> Innomen shall we try grub again please
[06:39] <Pelo> ljsmithx,  whrer they neeed to be the exec usuzly end up in /bin or /user/bin
[06:39] <BaKKaR> hallo, how can i recover my menu bar manually? lost them in a bad atembt to upgrade
[06:39] <ljsmithx> Dr, thanks
[06:39] <genii> Flats: no, the main difference with raw send is that the job goes immediately to the RAM or buffer of the printer
[06:39] <Innomen> you never have to say please to me, i'm yours :)
[06:39] <Innomen> inside grub
[06:40] <ljsmithx> Pelo, /usr/bin dont you mean? :)
[06:40] <darkchr0n0s> leo_rockw  : the gnome power manager has a slider thing, but it kinda has only 2 levels of brightness...
[06:40] <BaKKaR> attempt*
[06:40] <ikonia> Innomen: ok "root (hd0,0)" and then "setup (hd0)"
[06:40] <Pelo> ljsmithx, yeah, sorry , typo i guess
[06:40] <darkchr0n0s> leo_rockw : the slider is from 0-100% but the minimum bightness i get is near 32%
[06:40] <ljsmithx> Compiling is soo easy, now that I know how
[06:40] <darkchr0n0s> leo_rockw : but it
[06:40] <genii> Flats: But the formatting and driver, etc etc all stay same. just no queueing
[06:40] <Innomen> done
[06:40] <darkchr0n0s> leo_rockw : but it
[06:40] <Innomen> no errors
[06:40] <ikonia> Innomen thats more like it
[06:40] <BaKKaR> i remember something like gconfig or gmenu-config. can someone elp me to remember or know my way?
[06:40] <darkchr0n0s> leo_rockw : but it's still too bright
[06:40] <ikonia> Innomen you shoud be good to go
[06:40] <leo_rockw> darkchr0n0s, oh, i c... it isn't like that on the kde one...
[06:40] <ljsmithx> ./configure
[06:41] <Innomen> sweet testing
[06:41] <darkchr0n0s> leo_rockw : i'll try kde also :S
[06:41] <ljsmithx> Ive got KDE running along side with Aqua

[06:46] <Scunizi> Innomen, as you learn the system and how to do things, "tag.. you're it!"  It'll be your turn to return the favor to someone else.  :)
[06:46] <Elephantman> I'm runing Gutsy on an imac intel here, seems like the sound aint working (the soundcard is integrated to the intel motherboard). how can I diagnose/solve this issue ?

[06:47] <vince_> hi

[06:48] <Scunizi> ikonia, I"m installing vmware tools in my vm of DApper server w/ xubuntu-desktop and have installed build-essential. What do I install for C header files?
[06:49] <vince_> I want to free my audio card from a process which block it but I don't know what it is, is there a solution?
[06:49] <ikonia> Scunizi oooh normally glibc headers - not kernel headers, as I recall. However I think vmware is in the ubuntu repo's so you may find it easier to just install from there
[06:49] <yetifoot> vince_, it may be lsof /dev/audio or /dev/dsp
[06:49] <soothsayer> vince_: I had the same problem. I also didn't know how to fix it.
[06:49] <erUSUL> !vmware | Scunizi
[06:49] <ubotu> Scunizi: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[06:49] <Andeh> Hi
[06:49] <soothsayer> vince_: You can try lsof /dev/snd/*
[06:50] <Andeh> What do I need to open CBR files?
[06:50] <vince_> soothsayer / yetifoot, it dont work
[06:50] <UberPsyX> help, my beryls screwed up, desktop 1 is fine but the other 3 are invisible and doesnt refresh properly, it also has items on the taskbar that are on all desktops, ive tried reinstalling and it didnt work, it started when i added workspace-switcher to my panel
[06:50] <soothsayer> vince_: What doesn't work?
[06:50] <echelon3> regards
[06:50] <yetifoot> vince_, the one soothsayer just did /dev/snd/* works here
[06:50] <Andeh> Apparently winrar can open CBR files but I'm not going to use their stoopid CLI version for linux.
[06:50] <vince_> soothsayer, it dont display anything
[06:50] <Scunizi> ikonia, I've installed the VMWare server. repos for Dapper don't have the right version..
[06:50] <schlumpf> hi i installed a programm as root after doing so i rememberd that one should not do that well i did is there anyway to change. the programm is a addon to the game warcarft3 running throu wine

[06:51] <maxagaz> I have a big text file (8MB), which the command 'file' recognize as 'data', and whatever I do, It can't recognize it as UTF8 text file, so that when I execute commands like 'cat myfile.txt | grep -B 10 bar', it returns the whole content of the file
[06:51] <Andeh> Pelo: Apparently adobe reader can open them too
[06:51] <maxagaz> what should I do ?
[06:51] <Andeh> Pelo: I'm about to download half a gig of them, so just to make sure I can open them
[06:51] <Pelo> Andeh, are those  comic book ?   check in add/remove for comic there are a couple of readers
[06:51] <Andeh> Ah yes
[06:51] <Andeh> okay
[06:51] <Andeh> thanks ;D
[06:51] <soothsayer> vince_: Then nothing is opening those files. I think it should at least show mixer_app.
[06:52] <BaKKaR> ok looks i am forced to upgrade
[06:52] <BaKKaR> will do it
[06:52] <vince_> soothsayer, there is at least my mp3 player which is currently playing

[06:52] <soothsayer> vince_: I have rhythmbox open (not playing) and it shows it in lsof /dev/snd/*
[06:52] <Pelo> UberPsyX,  for beryl stuff ask in #beryl #ubuntu-effects or #compiz-fusion
[06:53] <UberPsyX> Pelo, ok thanks
[06:53] <vince_> soothsayer, the point is that I actually know what program is annoying me, but i would like to be able to do it in case I didn't know
[06:53] <vince_> ok soothsayer, you got me
[06:53] <vince_> it works :)
[06:54] <yetifoot> works here too, is listing all the audio programs i'm using
[06:54] <vince_> forgot the /* , i thought /dev/snd was a "file"
[06:54] <yetifoot> i do get a message before it gives it:

[06:54] <Pelo> Scunizi, libglibc I think

[06:56] <despotic> Hello all. I'm trying to get my sound to work here. The onboard nForce2 is recognized but I'm not getting any sound. When I test the playback I get an error.
[06:56] <Pelo> genii, shssss, enjoy the quiet
[06:56] <Pici> na: Have you looked on http://thinkiwiki.org ?
[06:57] <Pelo> !sound | despotic
[06:57] <ubotu> despotic: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:57] <yetifoot> despotic, you may be having something blocking the audio
[06:57] <genii> Pelo: Too late now LOL
[06:57] <na> Pici,  No, ill take a look, see if I can find anything there..thanks
[06:57] <despotic> I thought that it might be because my speakers are plugged in to the optical connector, but even if that were the case, I should get an error when outputting sound right?
[06:58] <despotic> I've gone through all of these web based tutorials for setting up the sound, my brain just hurts right now :S
[06:58] <Pelo> despotic, I don'Tthink so,  the drivers don'T realy care if the sounds get's out or not,  they just send the signal to the card
[06:59] <despotic> when I double click the volume control, i get "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[06:59] <sdrowkcab> where do i get help with compiz?
[06:59] <despotic> would remaking the kernel cause ubuntu to reconfigure the sound automatically?
[06:59] <Pelo> despotic,  right click the volume icon,  properties,  select a different device
[06:59] <yetifoot> sdrowkcab, #compiz ?
[07:00] <Pelo> sdouble,  ask in #ubuntu-desktop or #compiz-fussion
[07:00] <despotic> right click + preferences = no response :(
[07:00] <Pelo> despotic, check in menu < system > admin > users , make sure you have permission to use sound device
[07:00] <despotic> in the sound settings window, I get an error if I test alsa, if I test "automatic" the sound window closes.
[07:01] <genii> na: Perhaps you might find something useful here: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/walter/geek/linux-t40.html#buttons
[07:01] <Pelo> !sound | despotic  review this
[07:01] <ubotu> despotic  review this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[07:02] <SirronTM> Right, I need an MSN messenger clone. One that's not aMSN OR Emesene OR Pidgin. They're all rubbish  anybody got a good one they can recommend please?
[07:02] <damjan> Why my gdm is not loading?
[07:02] <ikxdf> italiani?
[07:02] <Pelo> SirronTM, google
[07:02] <Pelo> !it | ikxdf
[07:02] <ubotu> ikxdf: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[07:02] <yetifoot> SirronTM, only other one i know is kopete, but that is kde so you may end up with a lot of stuff you don't want
[07:03] <Pelo> damjan, we need a little more
[07:03] <vince_> SirronTM, I use gaim.
[07:03] <ikxdf> e come lo trovo?
[07:03] <vince_> it doesn't work with mic / video though
[07:03] <despotic> thanks ubotu. I'm gonna go through these pages to see if I've missed anything. The error I get when I click test on Alsa Playback is "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open resource for writing."
 But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[07:04] <despotic> I just checked the box for "audio" in the user settings (it was unchecked) and it didn't help.
[07:04] <ikxdf> pelo u are italian?
[07:04] <despotic> ;) Thanks Pelo
[07:04] <Pelo> despotic, that's a start anyway
[07:04] <Pelo> ikxdf, no
[07:04] <ikxdf> but u talk italian...
[07:05] <Pelo> ikxdf,  no I don'T  I can just tell more or less what the question is from common word roots
[07:06] <profanephobia> is there a way to tunnel opera through a ssh connection like you can with socks and firefox
[07:06] <damjan> the beryl failed to load, so I remove the support for 3d acc. for nvidia, then I reconf. the xorg with dpkg, and then I start gdm and then the cursor was on the center, then blank, then still in the center, but the screen was like have more gamma or something, so now I'm doomed to use kdm, which is slow on my pc, so what can I do to enable gdm again and use beryl?
[07:06] <Pelo> profanephobia, try asking in #opera if there is such a channel
[07:06] <titun> can anyone suggest a software to make webpage layouts/prototypes?
[07:06] <damjan> bluefish
[07:06] <profanephobia> Pelo, i did...no one home : )
[07:07] <SirronTM> o.O I find it hard to believe that given how good OpenOffice, GIMP etc. are, there still isn't a decent instant messenger, that supports at least HALF of Windows's Live Messenger's features.
[07:07] <Pelo> profanephobia, try the opera website I'm sure they have a forum a faq or an irc channel listyed
[07:07] <Pelo> listed
[07:07] <ssb> hi! I've installed 7.10 beta and have a feeling that everything is much slower than it should, especially  eog and ghoststcript.  The question is: Are beta packages compiled with debugging or something else that makes them run slowly... or should I just get a better box ?
[07:07] <Pelo> damjan, try asking in #beryl
[07:07] <damjan> no the gdm is not loading
[07:07] <Pelo> ssb, ask in #ubuntu+1   gutsy isn'T official yet
[07:08] <ssb> Pelo, thanks
[07:08] <Pelo> damjan,  gdm start
[07:08] <titun> damjan: no bulefish is helpful for coding.... i need something which can help me create a basic layout may be in a graphics format ,easily and fast..GIMP is not an option
[07:08] <Heman> Howcome gaim doesn't log me into my messenger account there are no login/out buttons...
[07:08] <dmulligan> Hi.  Is this the best place to ask about Gutsy?
[07:08] <Pelo> dmulligan,  #ubuntu+1
[07:08] <damjan> Pelo the cursor is on the center of the screen and nothing else
[07:09] <dmulligan> Pelo Thanks
[07:09] <Pelo> damjan, I hae no idea which is why I am sugesting you ask in #beryl , they probably know how to fix the problem since it was part of a removal of beryl
[07:09] <damjan> Pelo, thanks
[07:11] <Pelo> ok , all the problems with Feisty have been solved, everyone report to #ubuntu+1 for gutsy trainning
[07:13] <WaltzingAlong> SirronTM: your services have been enlisted to create the solution you seek
[07:13] <damjan> Pelo, 4 years I'm wondering about one question for KDE, I know that is K- Desktop environment, but what is K in the name?

[07:14] <Pelo> damjan,  no idea , try searching wikipedia for kde it's probably explained
[07:14] <WaltzingAlong> damjan: it meant cool desktop environment
[07:14] <damjan> oh

[07:21] <ipx> Pelo: what does that mean to the end-user?
[07:21] <Pelo> ubuntu666, and you are having memory allocation problems
[07:21] <ubuntu666> ipx: Will do. Which laptop are you buying?
[07:21] <mikkael>  i manually installed a webcam driver, since that my system needs 10 minutes to boot, spits out a lot of error messages. how do i remove that damn thing ? at the moment i just blacklisted it
[07:22] <VixyFox> Just a quick question for everyone. If I install Fiesty 7.04 when 7.10 comes out is it easy to upgrade? Or will I have to do a fresh install?

[07:22] <ipx> But not sure yet though
[07:22] <MuNzE> wrong chanel :)
[07:22] <ipx> but probably a znote anyways with that gfx-card
[07:22] <Pelo> I take it to mean avoid nvidia cards for the time being unless you know how to get around

[07:25] <Ady> guys, i got compiz fusion... i've screwed up all settings... can any1 tell how to correct it...
[07:26] <liam> I have a problem with Java. Specifically, I don't have a 'java' command
[07:26] <Pelo> Ady,  the ppl in #compiz-fusion probably can
[07:26] <Zeldor> why do so much people hanging in this channle?
[07:26] <ubuntu666> My windows vista shows up twice on the list but of them is the Sony Vaio Recovery Centre... I'm not sure which one it is in grub.. One says root (hd0,0) and the other is root (hd0,1) ... Any idea which of the two I should comment out? The last time I chose the wrong one while booting, and it screwed up grub..
[07:26] <Pelo> liam, why would you have a java command ?
[07:27] <Pelo> Zeldor, cause we're cool
[07:27] <Ady> i'm sorry... but i've reached this window in a very tough way...
[07:27] <liam> I wan't to run a java application, Freeguide.
[07:27] <Zeldor> lol Pelo ok i wanna be cool too :D
[07:27] <Pelo> Ady, just type /join #compiz-fusion
[07:27] <stdin> liam: have you installed java?
[07:27] <Pelo> Zeldor, sorry you need to pass a test first
[07:28] <Zeldor> a test?
[07:28] <liam> I have java applets working, and I have $sudo apt-get install j2re1.4
[07:28] <liam> but there doesn't appear to be a java binary
[07:28] <Pelo> Zeldor,  you need tatoos, peircings,  to smoke to have random sex with ramdom strangers, cut classes,  drink while underage,   you know the usual cool stuff
[07:28] <jeb> hi
[07:28] <Pici> !java | liam
[07:28] <ubotu> liam: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[07:29] <Zeldor> ok i'm too jung for beeing cool
[07:29] <jeb> I'm trying to install ubuntu on an older laptop (some might already know ;-) )I now managed to get a minimal ubuntu started on the laptop
[07:29] <jeb> i installed ubuntu on a vm and copied to files onto the harddrive
[07:29] <Pelo> Zeldor,  then you can get started by rolling your eyes at your parents :-)
[07:29] <jeb> but now, there are some little problems
[07:30] <jeb> is there a possibility to reinstall or reconfigure all installed pakcages?
[07:30] <stdin> liam: the java package is "sun-java6-jre" you then need to do "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[07:30] <Pelo> jeb, for an older comp consider using xubuntu , it's a bit lighter
[07:30] <jeb> Pelo: the problem was till now installing, not using
[07:31] <jeb> but thx for the tip
[07:31] <Pelo> jeb,  not sure what you mean by  reconfiguring the installed packages
[07:31] <liam> ah, thank you stdin. i had the package installed but not the update-alternatives
[07:31] <liam> many thanks!
[07:31] <Flats> Just a quick question, not necessarily for Ubuntu for all Linux. Has anyone gotten any verizon wireless PC adapter to work with Linux?
[07:31] <jeb> Pelo: e.g. I had to configure grub by myself, well, this isn't a problem. but the network card isn't recognised too
[07:32] <jeb> i think it's because I copied the files of an vm installation without network card
[07:32] <Pelo> Flats, I think you should look in the forum for an answer to taht quesiton  www.ubuntuforums.org
[07:32] <Davy_Jones> i wanna know how much of disk space my current directory is taken.. what's the command?
[07:32] <jeb> and therfore i think reinstalling/configureing the packages might solve the problem
[07:32] <Flats> OK, Just wondering if anyone here has it working but I'll check
[07:32] <Dr_willis> Davy_Jones,  du
[07:32] <Pelo> jeb, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal maybe
[07:33] <Davy_Jones> thanks
[07:33] <genii> jeb: to reconfigure most things, the usual is to: sudo dpkg --reconfigure <packagename> like xserver-xorg or such.
[07:33] <jeb> genii: want to reconfigure the whole system
[07:34] <jeb> Pelo: won't it tell me that everything is already up-to-date?
[07:34] <genii> jeb: I'm not sure if --reconfigure will take a wildcard but you could try
[07:34] <Pelo> jeb,  if something is missing it will reinstall it
[07:34] <biernot_> #channels
[07:34] <jeb> i'll have a look....
[07:34] <Muphasa> I am coming up with Zubuntu

[07:35] <Muphasa> ok
[07:35] <Muphasa> I need ur help
[07:36] <genii> erUSUL for it to reconfigure pending packages he would need to set package states for everything to pending/half installed or such
[07:36] <Pelo> !ask | Muphasa
[07:36] <ubotu> Muphasa: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:37] <erUSUL> genii: i see
[07:37] <jeb> Pelo: it does nothing, as guessed
[07:37] <Pelo> jeb was worth a try
[07:37] <jeb> the locales aren't set right, too
[07:38] <jeb> where do I configure them?
[07:38] <Pelo> jeb menu > system > admin > network ?
[07:38] <genii> jeb: For kicks and curiosity perhaps try: sudo dpkg --reconfigure *

[07:40] <generalsnus> Pelo: Yes
[07:40] <Pelo> generalsnus,  just setup your bios to boot from the ubuntu hdd and donT' mess with the grub settings
[07:40] <UbuntNub> Amarok directed me to a 1018 binary file. Is that a codec perhaps?
[07:40] <Pelo> generalsnus,  I mean set the bios to boot the ubuntyuhdd before you install ubuntu
[07:41] <bmt2> hello to all
[07:41] <bmt2> is there a way to 'RDP' into a linux box thru windoze
[07:41] <Pelo> UbuntNub, #amarok ppl might know
[07:41] <generalsnus> Pelo: yeah i tried that.. still got the err 21..
[07:41] <UbuntNub> sweet
[07:41] <bmt2> i usually RDP into my windoze box from my office...so i want to know if there is a way to RDP from from my windoze box into a linux box
[07:41] <generalsnus> Pelo: hm.. set bios to boot from linux disk before install?
[07:41] <bmt2> once i RDP from the office
[07:42] <ubuntu666> I don't think I set the mounts correctly.. My C drive (windows) is not showing up under Computer.. Can someone help me fix this?

[07:42] <zeroflag> I just started aptitude and it had some packages to finish so I hit g twice... now it's removing gdm and everything remotely related to it...
[07:42] <Pelo> generalsnus, yes,  grub is in two parts,  phase 1 installs on the boot hdd, phase 2 in the /boot folder of the ubuntu partition
[07:42] <zeroflag> oh...
[07:42] <zeroflag> there goes cupsd...

[07:43] <bmt2> and thanks to other individual...i can't scroll up to get your name
[07:43] <bmt2> sorry
[07:44] <Pelo> generalsnus,  there is also a not that error 22 relates to the bios not finding the partition listed, or the other eay around, I think I heard that some sata drives need to be set to  legacy support in the bios for ubuntu to recognise them
[07:44] <zeroflag> hwilde: well, I'll watch my language once aptitude stops removing my entire system...
[07:44] <hwilde> zeroflag, aptitude does what you told it to do.
[07:44] <zeroflag> I hit G twice to resolve conflicts...
[07:44] <zeroflag> >_<
[07:44] <generalsnus> Pelo: yeah.. but when i used a live cd to look at the menu.lst it pointed to the right place it seemed  linux kernel (hd1,2)
[07:44] <zeroflag> I just started it up and it complained about unresolved stuff...
[07:44] <zeroflag> so I let it resolve it...
[07:45] <Pici> zeroflag: Did you read what it was going to do?
[07:45] <zeroflag> synaptic gone...
[07:45] <Pelo> zeroflag, the sales point of aptitude it taht ir removes  dependendies when you remove a package,  next time use apt
[07:45] <zeroflag> gedit done...
[07:45] <Pici> zeroflag: Is this on Feisty or Gutsy?
[07:45] <ZeroA4> hwilde, me?
[07:45] <ubuntu666> I don't think I set the mounts correctly.. My C drive (windows) is not showing up under Computer.. Can someone help me fix this?
[07:45] <zeroflag> feisty
[07:45] <Pelo> generalsnus,   in grub speak   the hdd and partition numbering start at 0 then 1 then 2 etc
[07:46] <Pici> zeroflag: It shouldnt kill your ssh connection so you can just go and install whatever package you need after it finishes.
[07:46] <Pici> zeroflag: Just calm down for now though.
[07:46] <zeroflag> oh don't tell me it found a conflict in gdm and now removes everything? >_<
[07:46] <Pici> zeroflag: I've never seen it just do something without informing you what its going to do beforehand.
[07:46] <Pelo> zeroflag, more then likely you tried to remvoe someting with gdm as a dependency so gdm got removed as well
[07:46] <zeroflag> as far as I can see, it only removed gnome related stuff so far...
[07:47] <Pelo> I got to go now , later folks
[07:47] <Heman> How do I install as a partition I get this error: No root file system is defined please correct this from the partitioning menu...
[07:47] <generalsnus> Pelo: ok.. what if i unplug my winxp disk, before install.. is there a easy task to get winxp entry in grub menu.lst? as it would normally be in a dual boot?
[07:47] <Heman> Ubuntu imstall meaning...
[07:47] <Pici> Heman: You need to specify a partition to mount at /
[07:47] <zeroflag> didn't remove anything...
[07:47] <zeroflag> I only launched aptitude after synaptic crashed and let aptitude fix conflicts...

[07:50] <UbuntNub> My music is all on an ntfs partition. When I mount the partition, it says I don't have rights to look at it :S
[07:50] <Pici> Heman: You need swap and root.
[07:50] <zeroflag> erm...
[07:50] <zeroflag> Removing pkg-config ...
[07:50] <brk3> UbuntNub: you should follow the instructions on ubuntuguide.org there's a section on mounting your ntfs partitions
[07:50] <zeroflag> ?
[07:50] <UbuntNub> I have all the user rights selected for this user...

[08:01] <john213> the security is very poor with WEP

[08:01] <Vlet> used
[08:01] <hwilde> Vlet, I think the problem is a combination of upper and lowercase in the wep key...
[08:02] <Vlet> why do you think that is the case?
[08:03] <sdrowkcab> can someone please help me with compiz?
[08:03] <genii> jeb: for help on keystrokes in this prog, hit ? then k

[08:04] <magnetron> Tech-Mike: if you use network-manager to configure the connection, you will get WPA support (if your wireless card/driver supports it)
[08:05] <jeb> genii: shouldn't pressing '+' change the status?
[08:05] <Tech-Mike> ill take a look, i know i tried goin into the Network option but i only had 3 wep options
[08:05] <cyclonut> anyone game to try at some eclipse help?
[08:05] <hwilde> Tech-Mike, you need wpa supplicant.
[08:06] <Cyrus25801> is there a program that I can use to password protect folders (a GUI)
[08:06] <Tech-Mike> and i know the adapter supports it cuz im using it now on vista (dual-boot)

[08:06] <jeb> genii: it just moves down to the next app
[08:06] <bratao> Any body know what happen ?
[08:06] <Tech-Mike> how do i get a supplicant
[08:06] <magnetron> Tech-Mike: don't use the network options use the network manager in the upper right corner
[08:06] <clouder> is it just me or is clamav slow?
[08:06] <Tech-Mike> did that magnetron
[08:07] <magnetron> Tech-Mike: what card and driver do you use?
[08:07] <Vlet> Cyrus25801: no, not really... you can right click on a folder and specify on it's permissions tab that only the owner can read it's contents
[08:07] <magnetron> Tech-Mike: chances are your card and driver doesn't support wpa in linux
[08:07] <Tech-Mike> Belkin usb F5D5070 (think thats the model)
[08:08] <magnetron> Tech-Mike: and the driver?
[08:08] <Vlet> Cyrus25801: so when you're logged in as you, you can access the contents, and no other users can, but there is no way to make it so you have to enter a password every time you want to access it
[08:08] <Tech-Mike> using the driver that came on the cd
[08:08] <SeveredCross> Hey, anyone know how I would add a file association?
[08:08] <SeveredCross> I need to permanently associate Musepack files (.mpc) with Banshee, but I can't find an option in Nautilus.
[08:08] <Cyrus25801> Vlet: but I want to stop ppl from accessing my files when I am logged in
[08:09] <Pici> SeveredCross: Right click on the file and go to the last tab
[08:09] <genii> jeb: Sorry for lag, at work
[08:09] <SeveredCross> Ah, right.
[08:09] <Pici> SeveredCross: er, to the properties item
[08:09] <Crozar> guys networking doesnt seem to work it says The folder content could not be displayed " Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: user-xwtoonn1m0". "
[08:09] <SeveredCross> Yep, I got it now.
[08:09] <genii> jeb: Yes, + should set it
[08:09] <arnath> where can i alter settings for compiz fusion?
[08:09] <SeveredCross> arnath: Install Compiz Config SettingsManager
[08:09] <cyclonut> arnath - system->preferences->compizconfig settings manager
[08:09] <jeb> genii: i saw that they are all marked for install
[08:09] <cyclonut> as SeveredCross said, you may need to install it
[08:09] <jeb> but i can't reinstall them
[08:10] <notebook> hi all--basic question, how do i change drive directories in terminal?  thanks
[08:10] <jeb> tried apt-get upgrade and apt-get dselect-upgrade
[08:10] <Pici> notebook: cd
[08:10] <Tech-Mike> so...how do i set up a wpa supplicant
[08:10] <Pici> !cli | notebook
[08:10] <ubotu> notebook: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[08:10] <jeb> problem is: it wants to download files from the internet, which is not working at the moment
[08:10] <notebook> so if the drive partition is A i just do cd a?
[08:10] <SeveredCross> Nautilus thinks the .mpc extension is some MOPAC Input Format, and recognizes the file type as Musepack
[08:10] <cyclonut> notebook: I think that would be cd /media/a
[08:10] <notebook> ok cheers
[08:11] <SeveredCross> And just keeps throwing an error message about security risks, and won't open the file
[08:11] <notebook> then i just need to change read write permissions
[08:11] <cyclonut> chmod
[08:11] <jeb> genii: or should i use another command?
[08:11] <decay> How do i figure out if inetd or xinetd is running?
[08:11] <notebook> thanks cyclonut, that worked
[08:11] <decay> or, which one the system is using
[08:11] <notebook> do i do chown to change permissions?
[08:11] <cyclonut> notebook: yep
[08:11] <notebook> what's the full format cyclonut?>
[08:11] <notebook> chown /media/a?
[08:12] <Crozar> guys i am in a Network athome with my brother's Windows PC i cant enter hes shared folder from UbuntU = > Windows shared folders it says The folder content could not be displayed " Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: user-xwtoonn1m0". "
[08:12] <cyclonut> chmod number file
[08:12] <cyclonut> sorry, chmod not chown I think
[08:12] <Vlet> Cyrus25801: There's really no way to do what you're asking for... you could put them in a password protected zip file or something
[08:12] <genii> jeb: I have not used this way before to set package states like this, so it is new for me as well as for you :)
[08:12] <cyclonut> chmod 777 *
[08:12] <decay> How do i find out if my system is using inetd or xinetd?
[08:12] <cyclonut> would change every file to be read, write, executable by anyone
[08:12] <magnetron> Tech-Mike: i've found that your card uses the zd1211 chipset, and that other users of that dongle had problems in the past in getting such a dongle support wpa
[08:12] <BarryDegeling> Hello everyone :)
[08:12] <cyclonut> so that is probably not what you want
[08:12] <godzirra_> anyone know much about a snd_hda_intel card on a laptop?  I've got it working, but the volume controls don't actually work when I have headphones plugged in.  If I have headphones plugged in and I use the volume softkeys, it turns the speakers back on so headphones and speakers work.
[08:13] <notebook> chmod 777* in the root directory? thanks again cyclonut
[08:13] <cyclonut> (every file in pwd that is)
[08:13] <Vlet> Cyrus25801: or, in a few days when 7.10 comes out, it has fast-user-switching ability... so you can just create everyone their own account - when you're not there, log out
[08:13] <cyclonut> notebook: nooo
[08:13] <jeb> genii: ok. is there a way to get the exact list of files and downlaod them manually?
[08:13] <cyclonut> notebook: hold o
[08:13] <Pici> Cyrus25801: Why dont you lock your screen? How are people getting access to your computer?
[08:13] <notebook> ok
[08:13] <cyclonut> notebook: http://catcode.com/teachmod/
[08:13] <Vlet> Or just put the nudie pics on a thumb drive ;)
[08:14] <tretle> where do I find the executable's for the applications installed on ubuntu?
[08:14] <BarryDegeling> Does anyone here know how to get a Linksys Wlan (pci) card working on Feisty Fawn?
[08:14] <Vlet> tretle: well, if you know the name of it, you can (in a terminal) type: whereis theprogramname
[08:14] <Pici> tretle: /usr/bin and /bin.  If you are looking for something in your $path, you can do which program
[08:14] <magnetron> !wireless | BarryDegeling
[08:14] <ubotu> BarryDegeling: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:14] <cyclonut> notebook: this might be an easier one: http://www.evolt.org/article/A_quick_and_dirty_chmod_Tutorial/18/541/
[08:14] <genii> jeb: Well, if you just copied the entire thing over from the vm all the stuff should actually still be there in /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:14] <notebook> so chmod isn't just for files?  cool, will read the tutorial.  cheers!
[08:14] <notebook> ok
[08:14] <genii> jeb: but the thing is that it thinks they are all installed and fine etc
[08:14] <tux_fl> gutsy dhcp assigns 192.168...when my router is giving out 10.11...
[08:15] <BarryDegeling> Thank you Magnetron :D
[08:15] <jeb> genii: it says: Need to get 52.4MB of archives
[08:15] <jeb> genii: don't know why it knows there are new versions
[08:16] <Pici> tretle: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy questions please.
[08:16] <jeb> genii: but can i get the exact version of the files it wants?
[08:16] <tux_fl> THANKS
[08:16] <susan> does anyome know that when i change my motherboard cpu and ram in my ubuntu computer it will still work enough to get my computer running?
[08:16] <genii> jeb: You can copy over from another box to the hd of that one into the /var/cache/apt/archives   dir the files it wants to d/l
[08:16] <erUSUL> decay: aptitude search inetd | awk '/^i/'
[08:17] <genii> jeb: But this would mean you need to have them on another box someplace obviously
[08:17] <ASTX813> How can I make a 5 meg bootable disk image that can be loaded by memdisk?  I'll I've found is how to make floppy images, and my tools need a bit more room.
[08:17] <Vlet> susan: As far as I know, it should..
[08:17] <jeb> genii: the point is that I don't know why the systems knows of new versions, so i don't know if it wants the newest or just a newer version
[08:18] <susan> Vlet:  i guess sound work work or graphics card
[08:18] <sdrowkcab> how do I do the cube effect with compiz?
[08:18] <decay> erUSUL, i have both inetd and xinetd installed. but i'd like to know which one the system is using at the moment
[08:18] <susan> won't work
[08:18] <Azrael24> hey guys
[08:19] <genii> jeb: It has a database but offhand i forget where
[08:19] <BarryDegeling> Another question: How do I solve the 'soft lockup detected on cpu #1' error? I get it when booting up with my Linksys Wlan card, and when I remove it theeroor doesn't show up anymore.'
[08:19] <jeb> genii: maybe it's easier to setup the network
[08:19] <Vlet> susan: Are you asking if it will work, or are you saying it doesn't?
[08:19] <jeb> genii: problem is that it shows me the network in the dmesg but doesn't create a network in /dev
[08:20] <Azrael24> after succesfully installing feisty, going past the login screen, and then the Nautilus screen...all I see is the desktop, and pointer...I can do ctrl.alt.f2...what's going on here?
[08:20] <ASTX813> I'd like to just dd if=usbstick of=disk.img, but the usb key is 1 gig and only 5 meg is in use, I'll still get a 1 gig .img
[08:20] <genii> jeb: I thought you said it had no network card
[08:20] <susan> Vlet:  if it doesnt work
[08:21] <erUSUL> decay: maybe sudo update-alternatives --config inetd
[08:21] <jeb> genii: no. no working network
[08:21] <mash000> now do i list the "installed packages" ?
[08:22] <new2ub> I've installed feisty a couple of days ago, I'm brand new to the linux world.  Everytime I insert a program cd in my cd drive, the computer freezes completely and the only way out is a hard boot
[08:22] <genii> jeb: I would suggest to try something like: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop      (if you had it installed on the vm previously)
[08:23] <BarryDegeling> Does anyone know about the 'soft lockup detected on cpu #1' error?'
[08:23] <genii> jeb: Since ubuntu-desktop is also metapackage and contains many subpackages, the --reconfigure may work on it
[08:23] <eyemean> hello every1 im using ubuntu 7.04 with deluge bottorrent software
[08:23] <genii> jeb: sudo dpkg --reconfigure ubuntu-desktop     <-- eg
[08:23] <jeb> genii: great :D
[08:24] <MasterShrek> mash000, check in synaptic, you can filter by that
[08:24] <eyemean> but find deluge gets rejected by alot of sites due to ports etc, is it better to use ktorrent?
[08:24] <Vlet> susan: Are you logged into a terminal? Try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:24] <jeb> that's what i was looking for all the time: how to reinstall all installed packages
[08:24] <MasterShrek> eyemean, i prefer ktorrent
[08:24] <eyemean> yh
[08:24] <eyemean> is it easier to work with mastershrek?
[08:24] <MasterShrek> eyemean, ive never used deluge, but ktorrent has always worked great
[08:24] <MasterShrek> and its not a bulky as azereus
[08:25] <genii> jeb: ubuntu-desktop is only a set of packages, not everything which is installed
[08:25] <eyemean> cheers mastershrek, it k torrent k to use on gnome based ubuntu/
[08:25] <eyemean> ?
[08:25] <Tech-Mike> have a prob with window-decor ... gtk-window-decorator and emerald arnt working (they were until i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) how do i fix?
[08:25] <MasterShrek> yea its fine, it will install kde libraries and stuff
[08:25] <jeb> genii: but it's a start
[08:25] <MasterShrek> but u can run any kde ap in gnome, and vice versa
[08:26] <eyemean> thank you mastershrek, much appreciated
[08:26] <genii> jeb: Well, if you can get that one successfully reinstalled from there should be easier
[08:26] <jeb> genii: maybe there needs to be another command? it just reinstalled the metapackage
[08:26] <clouder> eyemean: have you tried disabling DHT?  Some trackers don't like that
[08:26] <jeb> genii: and i've only the ubuntu-standard installed
[08:26] <eyemean> one last question, how come ur replies sometimes come up red ?
[08:26] <MasterShrek> jeb, you need to do a complete reinstall i think, reinsatlling the metapackage prolly wont do anything
[08:26] <MasterShrek> eyemean, cuz i typed ur name in it
[08:26] <amarillion> eyeman, like this one?
[08:26] <ASTX813> eyemean your irc client is highlighting messages that have your name in them
[08:26] <MasterShrek> see look, not red anymore
[08:26] <genii> jeb: the .deb should still have been in /var/cache/apt/archives, so it did not need to d/l it again
[08:26] <amarillion> eyemean, like this one?
[08:26] <amarillion> hehe
[08:27] <eyemean> oh right, lol
[08:27] <cresco> hey everyone
[08:27] <amarillion> typo
[08:27] <ASTX813> pounced
[08:27] <jeb> genii: it installs from the cd, but not the dependencies, so the command is useless
[08:27] <eyemean> thank you for all the replies to that silly question of mine, hahaha
[08:27] <BarryDegeling> Does anyone here have a Linksys WLAN card on Feisty? My system gives the 'Soft lockup detected on cpu #1' erro'
[08:27] <cresco> so when did you all switch to ubuntu
[08:28] <genii> jeb: You can access cd?
[08:28] <amx109> i upgraded to gutsy from 6.10 - apt seems to fail everytime when installing guidance-backend. is this a common problem? if not, any suggestions for fixing it or working around it?

[08:28] <eyemean> clouder, not sure how to turn off DHT or wat it even is, i cant find it in settings
[08:28] <jeb> genii: yes
[08:28] <jrattner1> Question: How can I start a command from the command line, that will continue to run even after I log out of my server?
[08:28] <erUSUL> amx109: that upgrade is unsuported
[08:28] <dexem> if i would want to announce a new app for ubuntu, where should I sent an introductory email?
[08:28] <BarryDegeling> me when edgy came out :)
[08:28] <genii> jeb: OK. there may yet then be a fast and dirty way
[08:28] <clouder> eyemean: under click the preferences button then the network tab
[08:29] <Tech-Mike> anybody know why gtk-window-decor and emerald arnt working with nvidia drivers...thery were but i dont know what wrong now
[08:29] <MasterShrek> <<--- warty
[08:29] <dexem> which list is the best for this kind of things?
[08:29] <erUSUL> amx109: you have to do edgy-->feisty-->gutsy
[08:29] <cresco> how did you like gentoo Mastershrek
[08:29] <amx109> erUSUL, apologies,i meant feisty -> gutsy

[08:29] <Vlet> dexem: Maybe ask the folks in #ubuntu-devel
[08:29] <BarryDegeling> Anyone know of a good linux distribution that's not based on ubuntu, but comes close?
[08:29] <Vlet> dexem: Got a link so we could check it out?
[08:29] <MasterShrek> cresco, it has to compile everything you install for it
[08:30] <genii> jeb: Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file to comment every line out which needs internet access. Save it. then do the apt-cdrom command to make the cd the repo. then apt-get update
[08:30] <cresco> ok
[08:30] <a4ndr3c> do u mean based in debian.....
[08:30] <amx109> erUSUL, ty
[08:30] <Skrux> how to print in a double face please ?
[08:30] <BarryDegeling> I do
[08:30] <drama1981> anybody ever tried to run ubuntu on a celeron/pIII 750mhz with 64mb ram (or similar)? im thinking about setting it up on an old box basically as a firewall/ics box
[08:30] <cresco> do you know is it possible to extract RAR files in ubuntu
[08:30] <eyemean> clouder, i still get same message, alert; connection refused (HTTP code=-1, times in a row-3)
[08:30] <a4ndr3c> drama1981, it will work perfectly
[08:31] <dexem> Vlet: of course -> https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/frs/?group_id=12   It's an app to connect through 3G mobile cards
[08:31] <drama1981> cresco sudo apt-get install unrar
[08:31] <vince_> cresco, using the program unrar
[08:31] <is_null> !ppc | is_null
[08:31] <Skrux> how to print in a double face please ?
[08:31] <Vlet> dexem: cool!
[08:31] <erUSUL> drama1981: maybe ubuntu server
[08:31] <a4ndr3c> cresco, try apt-get install unrar

[08:31] <dexem> Vlet: it's going to reach v1.0 soon
[08:31] <skinnypuppy1334> drama1981: will work great however use the fastest cd rom it will support
[08:31] <jeb> genii: then, everything is OK
[08:31] <drama1981> a4ndr3c do you suggest i go for the server install or just use the desktop cd i already have?
[08:31] <dani_> how come sometimes my menus and dropdown-lists appear BEHIND my windows ?
[08:31] <genii> drama1981: I'm currently on here with a Pentium2/400 with 128Mb. With no GUI you can do 64Mb
[08:31] <Vlet> dexem: too bad I don't have a cellular device at all ;)
[08:32] <vlt> Hello. Is there a way to change the vol_id of an existing ext3 file system?
[08:32] <clouder> what happens when you click test active port
[08:32] <BarryDegeling> Goodbye everyone, I'm off to try Slax :)
[08:32] <genii> jeb: work, afk
[08:32] <vince_> or with a light gui.
[08:32] <dexem> Vlet: hehe
[08:32] <a4ndr3c> drama1981, in your case is better servr version
[08:32] <vince_> fluxbox might be indicated.
[08:32] <cresco> thanks you all
[08:32] <new2ub> I've installed feisty a couple of days ago, I'm brand new to the linux world.  Everytime I insert a program cd in my cd drive, the computer freezes completely and the only way out is a hard boot
[08:32] <jeb> genii: but it still doesn't reinstall the packages
[08:33] <vulcanius> hrm.. anyone have a dapper drake server sources.list?
[08:33] <cresco> what is the general opinion about Vista here
[08:33] <a4ndr3c> vulcanius, no....
[08:33] <drama1981> a4ndr3c ok ty. ill prob install ubuntu-firewall to as a way of manipulating iptables as im terrible with it and already have ubuntu-firewall down
[08:33] <Vlet> It's funny when someone ditches a distro because a piece of hardware doesn't work and they don't want to bother searching the web for previous discussion about getting it working
[08:33] <vulcanius> cresco, that ubuntu is better
[08:33] <pike_> new2ub: you could try disabling dma
[08:34] <cresco> heheh that is true
[08:34] <cresco> thats why i use it
[08:34] <Lazzie> Hello. Anyone know how to format external usb drives in ubuntu
[08:34] <new2ub> pike; how would I do that
[08:34] <genii> jeb: Did you do apt-cdrom then add the cd as the repo?
[08:34] <a4ndr3c> Vlet, agree agree... learning is very importing, search and learn please
[08:34] <Azrael24> hey guys, after spending many months with feisty, I keep having this issue - after  going past the login screen, and then the Nautilus screen...all I see is the desktop, and pointer...I can do ctrl.alt.f2...what's going on here?
[08:34] <jeb> genii: yes
[08:34] <pike_> new2ub: on the cdrom: gksu gedit /etc/hdparm.conf    and put like /dev/hdd{dma=off} i believe
[08:34] <Hilikus> hi guys
[08:34] <Xteven> hello world
[08:34] <Azrael24> *maybe* 5% of the time it will work after constant reboots
[08:34] <pike_> new2ub: might check that with someone else here
[08:35] <new2ub> pike; ok, idiot here (me that is) how would I get to this area?
[08:35] <genii> jeb: It should be able now to install/reinstall metapackage of ubuntu-desktop, from the cd as a repo. whatever deps should also be on there
[08:35] <Xteven> I'm lookingn for a timetracker (like gnotime), but that can upload it's data to the evolution calendar
[08:35] <Heman> can you get a dreamscene feature for ubuntu?
[08:35] <jeb> genii: it doesn't reinstall the deps
[08:35] <jeb> that's the problem
[08:35] <Azrael24> Heman...that'd be Beryl
[08:35] <jeb> in dselect, they're marked as install
[08:36] <cresco> where are you people from
[08:36] <Azrael24> Beryl is way better than Vista's Dreamscape...if that's what you're referring to
[08:36] <pike_> new2ub: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA  and ask me if you have any questions about the steps
[08:36] <Vlet> Azrael24: maybe try (from a terminal) doing: sudo adduser test
[08:36] <genii> jeb: try: sudo apt-get check
[08:36] <Hilikus> i cant access to my ubuntu server from outside my lan, i forwarded the port in my router and i tested online and the port IS open, yet sshd or apache dont report any connections attempts, is there some other protection layer in ubuntu (i.e. a firewall)
[08:36] <Sir_Jarkko_> Nythn m taas evoilen
[08:36] <new2ub> pike ty for your help....going to website now :)
[08:36] <cresco> moi Sir_jarkko
[08:36] <Azrael24> trying, Vlet
[08:36] <Vlet> Azrael24: and create a test user - try logging in with that user then to see if maybe some of your gnome settings got moofed up
[08:36] <Hilikus> i was also thinking of iptables?? but i think iptables by default allow everything
[08:37] <jeb> genii: done, no further output
[08:37] <Sir_Jarkko> Uh, sry wrong page ^^'''''
[08:37] <cresco> mist pin suomea s olet?
[08:37] <a4ndr3c> cresco use only english
[08:37] <Heman> azrael: how in berly (I have compiz fusion btw) how do I set up a dreamscene then...?
[08:37] <cresco> ok ok
[08:37] <Vlet> Azrael24: if all works fine for that user, then you'll need to maybe backup all the files (including hidden ones) in your home directory then delete em... that, in theory, should make your account squeaky clean
[08:38] <Sir_Jarkko> cresco: Itsuomi
[08:38] <Skrux> how to print in a double face please ?
[08:38] <Skrux> in open office !
[08:38] <vince_> Hilikus, not unless firecracker is installed
[08:38] <Azrael24> Vlet...especially when taskbars are absent?
[08:38] <vince_> starter, i mean
[08:38] <Hilikus> is firecracker installed by default in a lamp server edition?
[08:39] <Hilikus> vince_ what else could it be
[08:39] <Azrael24> I've disabled the login screen on my last successful boot up....does not prompt login screen anymore, it auto logs me in
[08:39] <genii> jeb: Hmm. 1 minute
[08:39] <Heman> zrael: how in berly (I have compiz fusion btw) how do I set up a dreamscene then...?
[08:39] <superman> hey how do i know which kernal i have 2.4 or 2.6
[08:39] <Vlet> Azrael24: well, yeah perhaps... gnome stores all it's settings in your home folder in hidden folders, so I would imagine that if gnome ain't working right, then if you flush everything, it'll create default settings for everything... worth a try :)
[08:39] <a4ndr3c> superman, uname -a
[08:39] <Azrael24> Heman...you got the fun part...keep experimenting with it and it will come to it...that's how I learned, and I'm new to all this
[08:40] <Vlet> Azrael24: oh... then you may need to (from a terminal) edit your /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[08:40] <vince_> Hilikus, I see nothing but iptables, or your services dont listen on the ports you suppose they do
[08:40] <Vlet> Azrael24: to disable autologin
[08:40] <Azrael24> ok
[08:40] <a4ndr3c> Vlet, thats not recomended
[08:40] <Azrael24> uh
[08:40] <Azrael24> what's recommended then?
[08:40] <Hilikus> vince_ am i wrong in that iptables by default allow everything?
[08:40] <vince_> you're not
[08:40] <genii> jeb: Try only: dpkg --configure ubuntu-desktop
[08:41] <a4ndr3c> try gui interface for configure gdm
[08:41] <Hilikus> weird!
[08:41] <Heman> Azrael24: I know but im using compiz not beyrl?
[08:41] <Hilikus> they do work within the lan so its not a matter of ports
[08:41] <Heman> Azrael24: Please just a clue...
[08:41] <jeb> genii: error, already configured
[08:41] <genii> jeb: the cd you used...was it an alternate cdrom without the GUI install, or a regular cd with the gnome or kde?
[08:41] <Vlet> a4ndr3c: but the problem here is that Az has no gui... gnome is not fully loading
[08:41] <Hilikus> and like i said, i tested for open ports online and the ports ARE open, so the router is not the problem
[08:41] <a4ndr3c> Vlet, oh sorry... my mistake
[08:41] <jeb> genii: used the alternate installer and installed the text-mode system
[08:42] <Hilikus> it is forwarding traffic
[08:42] <Azrael24> Heman...I'd help if I could, but no way of using full use of my feisty
[08:42] <jeb> means i've only the ubuntu-standard installed
[08:42] <Hilikus> so maybe ill check the iptables
[08:42] <Azrael24> ok I'll try Vlet's suggestion
[08:42] <genii> jeb: Well, thats why it's having issues finding stuff
[08:42] <Lazzie> how do i partition things in ubuntu
[08:42] <jeb> ?
[08:42] <vince_> Hilikus, how do you know that your port is open?
[08:42] <vince_> forwarded, I mean.
[08:42] <Hilikus> online scan
[08:42] <a4ndr3c> Lazzie, try gparted
[08:43] <d4rkmonkey> !gparted | Lazzie
[08:43] <ubotu> Lazzie: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[08:43] <Hilikus> 80 and 22 / apache and sshd
[08:43] <Heman> Azrael24: I don't understand...
[08:43] <vince_> Hilikus, is your router a computer?
[08:43] <Hilikus> no
[08:43] <Vlet> Azrael24: look for AutomaticLoginEnable=true in your config file
[08:43] <Vlet> Azrael24: and set to false of course :)
[08:43] <Hilikus> netgear router
[08:43] <vince_> are you sure these 22 and 80 that you see open are not your router's?
[08:44] <Azrael24> I'm in terminal, but need full line please to configure it
[08:44] <genii> jeb: If you have a standard ubuntu install cd and not the alternate one, put that in instead when you run apt-cdrom
[08:44] <Azrael24> I mean my laptop is behind me in terminal mode
[08:44] <genii> jeb: then it will be able to install ubuntu-desktop
[08:44] <MasterShrek> Hilikus, its possible your isp is blocking those ports...mine does
[08:44] <jeb> genii: it found the cd, that's not the problem
[08:44] <jeb> genii: and for the moment, i want the base system to work
[08:45] <bieb> how can I setup my terminal so highlighted text is automagically copied to the clipboard?
[08:45] <Azrael24> I just realized something....name of user and laptop can't be the same, can they?
[08:45] <genii> jeb: Well, manually is a real PITA
[08:45] <j_> beib: it sort of already is, there's a "selection" clipboard in linux
[08:45] <Azrael24> since I've been doing this...I've always used same names
[08:45] <jeb> genii: ....
[08:45] <j_> whoops sorry, meant bieb
[08:46] <erUSUL> bieb: that's the default then you paste with middle button
[08:46] <genii> jeb: First i would see what network adapter you have (if there is one) then get that going. Once internet can be reached other things will be a bit simpler
[08:46] <tabasco_> send $
[08:46] <Intangir> hey
[08:46] <j_> erUSUL: technically, there are two, a copy-paste clipboard and a "selection" clipboard ...
[08:46] <Intangir> what is a good command line utility for disecting pdf files into seperate files per page
[08:46] <Vlet> Azrael24: yes, they can
[08:47] <jeb> genii: dmesg: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet
[08:47] <bieb> j_ it saves it for the console to reuse, but I cant paste into a doc
[08:47] <jeb> genii: but it doesn't create a device-node at /dev
[08:47] <orduek> hello
[08:47] <Vlet> Azrael24: to turn off autologin, type this: sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[08:47] <Azrael24> Vlet...do I type: sudo apt /etc/gdm/gdm.confg  ?
[08:47] <orduek> I have a skype installation problem
[08:47] <Azrael24> ah ok...typing
[08:47] <j_> bieb: you should be able to select text from the console and then bring up the focus in openoffice and hit the middle mouse key
[08:47] <orduek> if anyone can help
[08:47] <Hilikus> MasterShrek online scannner told me its open
[08:47] <Meroigo> I got an additional monitor, connected it through the DVI port on the video card. It got a picture, but it's an exact mirror of my original monitor's, and, the colours are crazy an totally off. How do I make it become like an extended desktop? :P
[08:48] <j_> bieb: if you "loose the selection" it won't paste, so make sure not to highlight anything else
[08:48] <Intangir> LF pdf editor for linux
[08:48] <bieb> j_ I am trying to post command line info into an email ticket
[08:48] <Vlet> Azrael24: and a little ways down, you'll see 'AutomaticLoginEnable=true'... change it to false, then hit ctrl-o to save and then ctrl-x to exit
[08:48] <genii> jeb: I'm not sure why you are installing in this convoluted install-to-vm-then-copy-vm-to-hd-then-reconfigure  way if: cdrom works or: ethernet adapter works
[08:49] <jeb> genii: because it always hangs
[08:49] <j_> bieb: that should work just fine. You use the middle button on the mouse as a regular button. Try opening two text editors, then type some stuff in one, select the text and paste it into the other to get the hang of it
[08:49] <genii> jeb: Can it boot from ethernet adapter with PXE?
[08:50] <jeb> genii: I never used network-boot
[08:50] <j_> brb
[08:50] <bieb> ahhh the middle button
[08:50] <bieb> thanks j_
[08:50] <orduek> I have a dependencie problem during skype installation
[08:50] <orduek> can anyone help me with that?
[08:51] <Azrael24> weird...it's alread on 'false'
[08:51] <zanth> good day, I'm having a problem with a pci sataII expansion card and drivers
[08:51] <genii> jeb: Did you try install from alternate CD then look at console4 of installer to see what errors it was giving? also what boot options did you try,eg: noacpi or notsc etc etc
[08:51] <Azrael24> yet it autologs in just fine
[08:51] <Heman> does anyone else know if you can make a dreamscene feature in UBUNTU?
[08:51] <Azrael24> lol
[08:52] <RoboticTao> How do I add a sshfs mount to /ect/fstab? Is the syntax the same as a normal mount point?
[08:52] <zanth> the card is being detected as a initio corp card and sata_inic162x is being loaded
[08:52] <nas> Question: I am setting up apache and i recently called my service provider and upgraded so that they open port 80. I set up apache, yet I still cant access it from my outside IP
[08:52] <Vlet> Azrael24: is it maybe timed login? that option is right below the other in that config
[08:52] <zanth> but I own an siig card 3512
[08:52] <jeb> genii: modprobe process were always dead
[08:52] <Johto> www.microsoft.com <-- nice bill gates picture ..bill roks
[08:52] <zanth> sata_sil should be the driver loaded I think
[08:52] <nas> it displays when i use my routers default ip from another machine - so i know its running
[08:52] <zanth> the odd thing is that the drive connected is detected /dev/sde1
[08:52] <nas> any suggestions?
[08:52] <zanth> and it posts the right info, but I can't mount it
[08:52] <RoboticTao> nas: Forward port 80 on whatever firewall you have in front of your server on your end
[08:52] <orduek> anyone?? skype problem?
[08:52] <nas> i did that as well
[08:52] <lavender_dream> Hello, I'm trying to get my Nintendo USB Wi-fi Connector to work under Ubuntu and I was wondering if anyone has had success or know of a workaround
[08:53] <nas> i just reset my router and modem so im going to make sure its still set up and try again
[08:53] <MasterShrek> i cant play real media at all, well it plays, but its very choppy...anyone know what to do?
[08:53] <new2ub> pkie_; I followed instructions and typed "sudo hdparm /dev/hdc    then it resulted in "no such file or directory
[08:53] <Hilikus> nas i have the exact same problem, i know my port is open because of online port scans, and i know the router is forwarding it, yet i cant connect
[08:53] <spinner_> can i install amarok on Gnome / ubuntu or do i need the KDE platform ?
[08:53] <Hilikus> and i can connect within the lan too
[08:54] <zanth> spinner_ you can install it
[08:54] <nas> yea ditto
[08:54] <zanth> but kde base will be installed
[08:54] <Hilikus> nas do you use the server edition?
[08:54] <nas> im not sure whats up
[08:54] <nas> no
[08:54] <nas> i was just playing around with it
[08:54] <spinner_> i just download the verson that is ment for kubuntu?
[08:54] <Hilikus> something i havent checked is iptables
[08:54] <MasterShrek> spinner_, you can install it, but it might come with kde libraries and stuff
[08:54] <MasterShrek> spinner_, just apt-get it, there is no other version than the kde version
[08:55] <zanth> spinner_ apt-get install amarok
[08:55] <RoboticTao> nas: You realize it will not let you connect with the public ip if you are on the same lan the server is on right now.
[08:55] <Azrael24> Heman...you'll have better luck here
[08:55] <Azrael24> http://forum.beryl-project.org/
[08:55] <spinner_> tnx
[08:55] <genii> jeb: "modprobe process died unexpectedly" or similar was the error displayed in console4 of alternate CD installation?
[08:55] <nas> No I did not know that
[08:55] <nas> lol
[08:55] <zanth> might anyone be able to help me with a driver issue? how to force the right driver to be used etc?
[08:55] <jeb> genii: 'ps' showed D
[08:55] <RoboticTao> nas: That would be it then. Try at a coffee shop/school.
[08:55] <orduek> can anybody help me with my skype installation problem??
[08:55] <Azrael24> Vlet...very strange, you might think I'm nuts, but I'm an IT guy and I saved that conf and still it autologins
[08:55] <Hilikus> i didnt think it was because because iptables are supposed to allow everything by default
[08:56] <nas> ill try to connect to it from my sister's computer which is on a different router
[08:56] <Hilikus> but i havent checked
[08:56] <nas> i mean different modem
[08:56] <Dunas> Busy as always.
[08:56] <acidhoax> tem brazileiro na jogada aqui
[08:56] <acidhoax> ??
[08:56] <RoboticTao> nas: That should work
[08:56] <decay> Getting the following error when adding a directory to $PATH............bash: export: `/media/Shared/programming/books/python books/John Goerzen/chapter 3': not a valid identifier
[08:56] <decay> any ideas?
[08:56] <Hilikus> nas did you check the server logs?
[08:56] <spinner_> tnx zanth: but i do not know what apt means i just installed linux for the first time yesterday.. :P
[08:56] <Hilikus> to see if at least the requests are getting to the server?
[08:56] <zanth> oh...
[08:56] <RoboticTao> Does anyone know the syntax for adding sshfs to /etc/fstab for automounting?
[08:56] <Hilikus> cause in my case they are not
[08:57] <zanth> spinner, open up a terminal type apt-get update && apt-get install amarok
[08:57] <zanth> that should do the trick
[08:57] <Vlet> Azrael24: hehehe... hmm, try (in that conf file) ctrl-w and search for your username and take it out wherever
[08:57] <acidhoax> any pleople have problems with client ubuntu feisty using ldap+samba+udevd????
[08:57] <Azrael24> ok
[08:57] <spinner_> nice :)
[08:57] <genii> jeb: At what point during attempted install from alternate CD was it choking previously?
[08:58] <nas> Rob: that worked :)
[08:58] <Dunas> So 7.10 is coming out soon- what's the channel for it? I wanted to ask if the most recent available beta plays nicer with RTL8185 wireless chipsets, which almost every distro seems to hate.
[08:58] <genii> jeb: Because I really think it's more practical to try and install from some other way first before doing this vm-to-hd way
[08:58] <tonyyarusso> !gutsy | Dunas
[08:58] <lavender_dream> Hello, I'm trying to get my Nintendo USB Wi-fi Connector to work under Ubuntu and I was wondering if anyone has had success or know of a workaround

[08:59] <carlog> someone knows how to make compiz-fusion whorks with via sg3 unichrome pro igp videocard?
[08:59] <a4ndr3c> carlog, how old is that card?
[08:59] <Vlet> Azrael24: ok, I'm lost ;)
[08:59] <jeb> genii: i'll try it once more
[08:59] <Azrael24> thanks for your time thought, Vlet
[08:59] <carlog> I don't know
[08:59] <j_> beib: anytime
[09:00] <a4ndr3c> carlog, what about video ram?
[09:00] <genii> jeb: I'll be here for about 1 1/2 to 2 more hours, I'll try to assist until then if neccesary
[09:00] <roger> moin
[09:00] <roger> kann jemand deutsch?
[09:00] <roger> speak who german_
[09:00] <a4ndr3c> roger, only english
[09:00] <roger> ok sorry
[09:00] <carlog> a4ndr3c 64MB shared
[09:00] <jeb> roger: ich, aber es gibt auch noch #ubuntu-de
[09:01] <Hilikus> nas any luck?
[09:01] <Vlet> Azrael24: One last thought... you can type: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to completely turn off the gui... then, log in as test (in another ctrl-alt-f2 screen or whatever) and then type "startx"
[09:01] <Vlet> Azrael24: that's a way to force X to start as the test user, but that whole autologin thing is weird :)
[09:01] <nas> yea
[09:01] <a4ndr3c> carlog, is that a onboard graphics card?
[09:01] <nas> It actually works
[09:01] <nas> http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[09:01] <carlog> a4ndr3c yes
[09:01] <jeb> genii: thx for your help. anyway, till know i always stopped the install process after no change for around a half hour
[09:02] <spinner_> Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) how do i get permision
[09:02] <j_> spinner_: use "sudo"
[09:02] <carlog> a4ndr3c xorg detects it's like "vesa"
[09:02] <a4ndr3c> carlog, humm u even tried instaling beryl?
[09:02] <j_> spinner_: as in "sudo apt-get install <package>"
[09:02] <Hilikus> it does, what if you do it from a computer within the network but using your external ip?
[09:02] <decay> /usr/sbin/ is listed in $PATH. if i put a script i made into that directory, i should be able to run it by typing 'scriptname', no?
[09:02] <a4ndr3c> carlog, try glxgears, the gears rotate fluently?
[09:03] <spinner_> tnx
[09:03] <j_> spinner_: anytime :)
[09:03] <spinner_> sudo is the same as su root
[09:03] <nas> no i cant access it
[09:03] <nas> using my external on this network
[09:03] <carlog> a4ndr3c what is these glxgears?
[09:03] <Hilikus> because maybe mine worked too but i never tried it from outside
[09:03] <spinner_> so evrytime i need to have root i just write sudo first=?
[09:03] <nas> yea
[09:03] <j_> spinner_: sort of yeah. It executes the command with root privaleges without actually becoming root
[09:03] <Hilikus> oh cool, so mine maybe did work
[09:03] <Hilikus> thanks
[09:03] <j_> spinner_: yep.
[09:04] <j_> spinner_: if you actually need to *become* root, you have to set a password for it as ubuntu has root disabled by default
[09:04] <RoboticTao> !sshfs
[09:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sshfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:04] <spinner_> u just answerd my next question
[09:04] <spinner_> :=
[09:05] <j_> spinner_: hehe
[09:05] <Zembla> hi there, anybody here has experience with xfce?
[09:05] <Hilikus> nas it could be that the server doesnt accept connections from its own external ip
[09:05] <erUSUL> decay: yes but better use /usr/local/bin
[09:05] <sdrowkcab> why do I have 1 desktop instead of 4?
[09:05] <Enky> My xubuntu computer crash when the screensaver gets active. I cannot change it at 'settings', because that "preview window" also crash it. I'm wondering if i can change screensaver inside the terminal? How?
[09:05] <Veros> hey is ther anything like "cluster size" for linux file systems?
[09:05] <nas> that is the problem
[09:05] <genii> jeb: There is a pcmcia module which causes hangups on install but can be bypassed by going to busybox console in alternate install and removing the driver it keeps trying to load
[09:06] <nas> well was teh problem
[09:06] <j_> sdrowcab: are you using gnome?
[09:06] <Hilikus> anyway, ill test mine when i get home
[09:06] <acidhoax> hellp
[09:06] <acidhoax> hello
[09:06] <jeb> genii: which one is it?
[09:06] <j_> acidhoax: sup acid? What do you need?
[09:07] <genii> jeb: i82365.ko
[09:07] <erUSUL> Veros: block size??
[09:07] <musikgoat> i'm missing /lib/modules/<my-kernel-version>/build  directory?   i have a generic build directory, but with this, i cant reconfigure vmware,  any suggestions?

[09:07] <Veros> erUSUL: is space wasted as in windows?
[09:07] <musikgoat> erUSUL:  thanks
[09:08] <sdrowkcab> why do I have 1 desktop instead of 4?
[09:08] <jeb> genii: thx
[09:08] <Veros> for large number of small files
[09:08] <j_> sdrowkcab: Are you using gnome drow?
[09:08] <RoboticTao> What's the UID of a normal user?
[09:08] <erUSUL> Veros: there is internal fragmentation in any filesystem (well reiser claims that it reduces it but...)
[09:08] <Draggin> Good evening!
[09:08] <DShepherd> sdrowkcab, God made it happen that way.. i dont know
[09:08] <frostburn> !iso
[09:08] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[09:08] <DShepherd> sdrowkcab, what do you want help with?
[09:08] <sdrowkcab> ah
[09:09] <lyn_> I have a question.  I registerd my nick here this morning, been using it.  I just restarted my comp and came back in and it says its being used.  I click on it in here, and it's me.  same location and everything.  How do I fix this?>
[09:09] <Draggin> Are there any digital artists or graphic designers in here? Specifically someone who uses a graphics tablet...?
[09:09] <sdrowkcab> i cant do the cube effect because there is only one desktop
[09:09] <j_> sdrowkcab: ah you're using compiz
[09:09] <Veros> erUSUL: not fragmentation, I am talking about wasted cluster space
[09:09] <skinnypuppy1334> sdrowkcab do you have the manager  ?
[09:09] <bkruse> Hey guys, any of you have any experience with compression??
[09:09] <decay> erUSUL, i have tried. but no luck
[09:09] <sdrowkcab> i have compiz manager
[09:09] <DShepherd> lyn_, /ghost nick <password> should kill your current nick
[09:09] <cresco> does anyone know that is there any list of usefull comands for the console?
[09:09] <skinnypuppy1334> You have to change a setting to 4 desktops
[09:09] <bkruse> particularly indexing, and searching through a big text compressed file??
[09:09] <RoboticTao> bkruse: A little, compressing what?
[09:09] <erUSUL> Veros: if you use or have lot of small files ( size < 4 kiB) you can make the filesystem with 1k block size
[09:10] <decay> erUSUL, do i have to restart for it to take effect?
[09:10] <bkruse> RoboticTao: A big xml file, then being able to diff between another big xml file
[09:10] <sdrowkcab> and under general i selected 4 desktops and i see them in the bottom right corner
[09:10] <skinnypuppy1334> Under General settings and Desktop Size
[09:10] <sdrowkcab> but i cant use them
[09:10] <Veros> erUSUL: so it is the same as in NTFS, FAT, right?
[09:10] <bkruse> RoboticTao: particularly indexing it, so it knows what blocks are part of what article
[09:10] <DShepherd> sdrowkcab, ask in #ubuntu-effects for help with compiz
[09:10] <Veros> cluster size = block size
[09:10] <RoboticTao> bkruse: Can't help you there sorry
[09:10] <sdrowkcab> thank you
[09:10] <erUSUL> Veros:  wasted cluster space [09:10] <bkruse> RoboticTao: all well, thanks

[09:10] <erUSUL> Veros: in that regard yes
[09:10] <DShepherd> sdrowkcab, no problem. Hope you figure it out
[09:11] <genii> jeb: workaround is described here: http://random.openminds.be/2007/02/19/intel-isa-pcic-probe-not-found/     except it is in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/pcmcia and not /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/pcmcia  as the article describes
[09:11] <Veros> erUSUL: i didn't know that term:)
[09:11] <lyn_> DShepherd; just typing that in subbing my password for that word didn't work.
[09:11] <erUSUL> Veros: about external fragmentation you can read http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org/index.php/2006/08/17/why_doesn_t_linux_need_defragmenting
[09:11] <eyeofmind> any BOTS around?
[09:11] <UncleD> I want to install http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/g/git-core/git-core_<IP_ADDRESS>-1~bpo40+2_i386.deb - how do i do so properly?
[09:11] <lyn_> DShepherd; it just says unknown command
[09:11] <DShepherd> lyn_, oh.. that would work for xchat. not all irc clients support that.. what client you using?
[09:11] <jeb> genii: thx for the link
[09:11] <Veros> erUSUL: but how can reiser reduce internal fragmentation then?
[09:12] <jeb> genii: it's now loading trm290 and that's where it never continues
[09:12] <DShepherd> lyn_, wanna give xchat a go?  :-D
[09:12] <stefgl> UncleD: you shouldn't use debian packages on ubuntu...
[09:12] <jeb> genii: modprobe process is marked D
[09:12] <lyn_> DShepherd; Konversation
[09:12] <lyn_> I couldn't get xchat to work
[09:12] <UncleD> stefg1: I need 1.5.3 of git and its not even available on backports yet.
[09:12] <eyeofmind> has ATI really got their drivers out? cause my X1200M flickers on one end of the screen in 7.04
[09:12] <UncleD> stefg1: so tell me how to do it properly given that.
[09:12] <stefgl> !info git-core
[09:12] <DShepherd> lyn_, hmm.. ask in kubuntu. they know more about konversation i guess
[09:12] <ubotu> git-core: content addressable filesystem. In component main, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-1build1 (feisty), package size 2295 kB, installed size 5128 kB
[09:13] <UncleD> see^.
[09:13] <Enky> My xubuntu computer crash when the screensaver gets active. I cannot change it at 'settings', because that "preview window" also crash it. I'm wondering if i can change screensaver inside the terminal? How?
[09:13] <Draggin> stefgl - why not? I thought Ubuntu is Debian-based?
[09:13] <wasabi> Anybody aware why using LVM in the feisty installer (server) would hang the installer for a good five minutes?
[09:13] <lyn_> DShepherd; I tried xchat and it would never connect
[09:13] <stefgl> UncleD: if you really need that version, you rather build from source
[09:13] <stefgl> !debian
[09:13] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[09:13] <DShepherd> lyn_, ok . #kubuntu then?
[09:13] <lyn_> ok
[09:14] <erUSUL> Veros: it colapses the contents of varius clusters (blocks in linux terminology) into one when it can
[09:14] <Draggin> Hmmm... Okay... But why not? What would happen?
[09:14] <stefgl> Draggin: ubuntu uses different toolchains and lib-versions... using debian packages can be ugly and break apt.... not the funniest thing to do
[09:14] <Veros> erUSUL: where can  I read about internal frgmentation?
[09:14] <genii> jeb: that pcmcia issue I just explained about causes all kinds of weirdnesses with modprobe, because it keeps trying to cyclically load the i82365 driver but fails, tying up the pnp/module system entirely
[09:15] <DShepherd> lyn_, or you can just wait a couple minutes till the nick expires or watever the term is

[09:15] <pegger__> Draggin: it would not be able to find prerequisites
[09:15] <Draggin> stefgl - Okay... And how exactly would you be able to distinguish a debian package? Don't some Ubuntu installer packages also have a .deb extension?
[09:16] <pegger__> Draggin: look at the package information
[09:16] <pegger__> Draggin: open up the package
[09:16] <stefgl> Draggin: you don't need to distinguish... you only use signed ubuntu sources, so you'll never encounter a package meant for debian
[09:16] <Draggin> stefgl - but there are apps that I need to install and run that are not listed in the repositories...
[09:16] <cman_> I have a toshiba 4010 w/ 7.04 and the network card is not working. - the wireless works fine, i think its a driver issue. Any one have ideas?
[09:17] <decay> I can't even chmod a file

[09:17] <decay> howcome?
[09:17] <boro> is there anybody here who can help me with the sound on my laptop?
[09:17] <Matir> is there a good program that will let me monitor the bandwidth usage on my linux-based router?
[09:17] <Vlet> Draggin: ubuntu is based on debian, so it's like.... they both speak english... just with different accents :)
[09:17] <Draggin> Hehe, Vlet, cookl :)
[09:18] <UncleD> stefgl: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz is git latest. Can I build it the "ubuntu" way ? How would i do that?
[09:18] <boro> does anyone have time to help me with my laptop-sound problem?
[09:18] <stefgl> Draggin: build from source... package names are different in debian and ubuntu, so you won't have the prper dependencies. And getting out of the mess when you managed to break apt is time-consuming, actually it's quicker to restore a backup
[09:18] <cman_> of course not, they don't have time to help me with my nic problem
[09:18] <boro> :)
[09:19] <orduek> hello again
[09:19] <Draggin> stefgl - okay... Fair enough, but I'm still very new to Linux and not quite sure how to build apps from the source...

[09:19] <genii> jeb: that module you are having issues with seems related to onboard SATA controller. Did you set your BIOS for ATA compatability mode?
[09:19] <decay> how do i open root terminal?
[09:20] <Pici> decay: sudo -i
[09:20] <stefgl> !root | decay
[09:20] <ubotu> decay: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:20] <decay> Pici, thank yo u
[09:20] <wladston> guys, is there any "bug solving channel" or something like for gusty ? My system doesnt start anymore after installing gusty and trying dual screens

[09:22] <unagi> when you drag the slider to the right it plays through the video rather than skipping to that part on the timeline
[09:22] <cman_> I plug it in, no lights on the connection, no DHCP - set static ip, no go
[09:22] <genii> jeb: If possible set in bios to where the sata drives get seen as legacy/compatible/ata
[09:23] <j_> cman_: hmm. Are the kernel drivers loaded and is the nic recognized?
[09:24] <cman_> a wired connection shows up under network settings, but I don't know how to check the kernel drivers
[09:24] <j_> cman_: ok what kind of nic is it?
[09:24] <joepi> dear god, i think i'm going to be a father
[09:25] <cman_> Toshiba ether lan - whatever that is.  I think its actually an intel 82xxx
[09:25] <Zelut> can the netboot installer be used for multiple releases?
[09:25] <genii> Zelut: Yes
[09:25] <Zelut> I've used the image from ubuntu to install kubuntu, but could it install 7.04 vs 7.10, etc?
[09:25] <genii> Zelut: Yes
[09:25] <maul_> how to unrar?
[09:25] <Zelut> genii: perfect, thank you.
[09:26] <cox377> hello all
[09:26] <cox377> is the command to remove something 'rm'?
[09:26] <etch64_a6km> unrar x
[09:26] <j_> cman_: let's try the easy route first; do you get any errors when running "/etc/init.d/network restart" ?
[09:26] <pike_> maul_: sudo apt-get install unrar; unrar e file.rar
[09:26] <etch64_a6km> install unrar or unrar-free
[09:26] <j_> whoops that's "networking"
[09:26] <maul_> pike_,  it does not find the package

[09:27] <musikgoat> how do i check if there is a nobody nogroup account?
[09:27] <DShepherd> !unrar
[09:27] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[09:27] <jeb> genii: can't find such a setting
[09:28] <emretemp> musikgoat: try cat /etc/group
[09:28] <genii> maul_: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install unrar

[09:28] <pike_> maul_: probably in universe or multiverse it needs to be enabled in your package manager
[09:28] <genii> jeb: OK, give me make/model of machine and I'll look for bios settings

[09:30] <mutable> Hi, does anybody know how to instruct wget to write real filenames returned by some for example php function and not something like this:  site.net/getile.php&file=344?section=help ?
[09:30] <genii> jeb: Hmm. Odd name. I will look now, AFK
[09:31] <xeer> when i use my keyboard's volume control, it only effects the front speakers on my 5.1 setup. how can i get it to effect the PCM?
[09:31] <decay> how can i add a directory to $PATH, if the directory contains spaces?
 no errors
[09:31] <xeer> decay: \<space>
[09:32] <decay> xeer, quotation marks won't work, correct
[09:32] <xeer> decay: or use quotes around the path
[09:32] <j_> cman_: and does "ifconfig" show you having an IP?
[09:32] <xeer> decay: quotes for the overall $PATH, not each location
only on the wireless connection
[09:32] <pike_> xeer: keyboard volume control? now youre just being picky ;p
[09:32] <decay> xeer, i actually thought the problem were spaces, but its not. turns out i can't add dirs to $PATH. i get this error:
[09:32] <decay> bash: export: `/home/fiction/hi': not a valid identifier
also, its an intel pro 100/ve
[09:33] <j_> cman_: ok, try "tail /var/log/messages" and see if there's anything in there about the network restart
[09:33] <xeer> pike_: lol yes, so unreasonable
[09:33] <j_> ah intel == good :)
[09:34] <cman_> J_: not that says restart, but I see where it restarted
[09:34] <j_> cman_: and no errors about networking in the message log?
[09:34] <decay> and does anyone happen to know how to -delete- a path/dir from $PATH?
[09:34] <cman_> J_:no
[09:34] <j_> cman_: but it *does* show the interface through ifconfig, just not an assigned IP ?
[09:34] <cman_> yes
[09:35] <j_> cman_: weird. Let's make sure the interface is "enabled"
[09:35] <Phydoux> Can someone tell me how to format my new hard drive? It's /dev/sda
[09:35] <j_> cman_: "system->administration->network"
[09:36] <j_> cman_: the little checkbox is checked next to the interface in question?
[09:37] <brobostigon> hi
[09:37] <cman_> yes, when i just unchecked and re-checked, it d/c'ed my wireless
[09:37] <greenmanspirit> anyone have a preferred way to add countdowns to the desktop
[09:38] <j_> cman_: yeah it would try to restart networking...
[09:38] <j_> cman_: honestly I'm not sure at this point. It almost sounds like there's a hardware issue...
[09:38] <cman_> j_:thats what I was thinking
[09:38] <j_> cman_: you're system recognizes the nic fine, you can restart the card and networking, it just sorta ... doesn't work ..
[09:39] <j_> cman_: do you have a replacement?
[09:39] <cman_> j_: pretty much.  It seems like it just doesn't like the driver it has or something
[09:39] <wasabi> Having some winbind problems. Domain users logging in with GDM are not being granted their local group memberships.
[09:39] <new2ub> I installed ubuntu feisty a couple of days ago and am having issues with both my cd and mydvd drives
[09:39] <j_> cman_: that's unlikely. Intel openly publishes their specs and the nic drivers for intel are very mature
[09:40] <j_> cman_: I have had weird issues with certain onboard intel nics though. On the machine I'm no now the onboard won't leave promiscuous mode....
[09:40] <buyom> i have problem with abit motherboard after installing ubuntu when i start my comp i get messege -apic_no_apic
[09:40] <buyom> plz help
[09:40] <cman_> j_: you think bad hardware maybe?  I have a couple other 4010's, maybe it would pay to just swap the drive and see what happens
[09:41] <j_> cman_: That's what I'm thinking. If you could throw in another nic and test it that's what I would do ...
[09:41] <cman_> j_: ok, I'll give that a shot
[09:41] <cman_> j_: thanks for all your help
