[15:24] <Starnestommy> mro1: any issues related to ubuntu are welcome here
[15:25] <etronik> zvacet: sudo aptitude full-upgrade - is wrong command, any ideas besides full-upgrade ?
[15:25] <pusoicafe> #cebu
[15:25] <PPKuma> ok... this is weird... i have the device in fstab... but i still have to mount it everytime i boot
[15:25] <mro1> excellent.  i'm having trouble coming out of suspend with my notebook (gateway m-1617, ati radeon x1200 series, flgrx)
[15:25] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: Maybe pastebin your fstab and someone might be able to help...
[15:25] <nanoprobe> problem: wireles, hardware present, driver installed ... but can't enable it, since i don't have a hardware key for it, and Fn key doesn't work in linux (now). anyone has any idea how to force Fn key to work in linux enviroment? plz
[15:26] <etronik> zvacet: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade ?
[15:26] <zvacet> etronik :yes
[15:26] <igorleliza> hello there, can someone help me with crontab?
[15:26] <alan_m> !pastebin | PPKuma
[15:26] <nubotu> PPKuma: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[15:27] <philsf> igorleliza: have you read the manpage?
[15:27] <zvacet> etronik : but full-upgrade should work look in man aptitude
[15:27] <PPKuma> here it is http://rafb.net/p/yiqlZb87.html
[15:27] <igorleliza> yes
[15:27] <igorleliza> i can add command to crontab
[15:27] <g00dbar> 1337 +1
[15:27] <igorleliza> but is not executing them for some reason
[15:27] <g00dbar> -1
[15:27] <Dante123>  hi all, I lost my trash can....How can I get it back or can I empty if via cli
[15:28] <philsf> igorleliza: do you receive an email with the error?
[15:28] <igorleliza> philsf no
[15:28] <igorleliza> philsf: just nothing
[15:28] <philsf> igorleliza: was the command supposed to generate output?
[15:28] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: Which partition is not mounting at boot time?
[15:28] <etronik> zvacet: on the command line I now see that aptitude found 20 conflicts it cannot resolve.. some messages relate to python... I'll try un-installing it to see the effect
[15:28] <alan_m> dante, you can get it back by right clicking a panel and clicking add to panel....finding "trash" and adding it back.
[15:29] <igorleliza> philsf: no, it doesnt have to generate output
[15:29] <Dante123> hi all, I lost my trash can....How can I get it back or can I empty if via cli
[15:29] <Dante123> When I try to add to panel, nothing shows up
[15:29] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: sda8
[15:29] <igorleliza> philsf: it looks very simple i just wanna shutdown the machine.
[15:29] <alan_m> Dante123, meh..thats not good :/
[15:29] <NeoAngelus> ifireball: I got a step further in the compiling process, no more include errors of any kind(sadly enough a lot of reference errors...) May I ask another quick question about libraries, do they still have the *.lib extension? or is it *.a?(still finding my way with IRC too)
[15:30] <philsf> igorleliza: what's the cron line?
[15:30] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: i think the problem might be i recently formated it in ext3
[15:30] <Starnestommy> igorleliza: you might need to add the command to root's crontab
[15:30] <philsf> igorleliza: also, do you want to periodically shutdown, or just once?
[15:30] <igorleliza> philsf: 30 15 * * * shutdown -h now
[15:31] <igorleliza> philsf: so shutdown my machine every day at half past 3, is it correct?
[15:31] <alan_m> Dante123, /home/[user]/.local/share/Trash is where your trash is stored
[15:31] <philsf> igorleliza: this is from the root's crontab, right?
[15:31] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: In your fstab you have sda8 as a "vfat" file system... is it windows? But you say it's now ext3? Please explain.
[15:31] <legend2440> PPKuma: uuid looks wrong type sudo blkid in terminal and compare
[15:31] <philsf> igorleliza: not a user acount?
[15:32] <ifireball> NeoAngelus: my C is rusty, but as far as I remember, *.lib if for dynamic linking and *.a is for static
[15:32] <igorleliza> philsf: well I am editing the cron as myself, igor@ubuntu: crontab -e ?
[15:32] <giovanni> kill mr bill
[15:32] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: the thing is that in the intallation I chose the fat32 format for linux and windows to play nice with the partition
[15:33] <philsf> igorleliza: no, you don't have permission to run shutdown, by default
[15:33] <ifireball> NeoAngelus: e.g. I *think* the linker uses the *.a at compile time, and your program then loads the *.lib at runtime
[15:33] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: but then i learn about the limitations of fat32 in large files
[15:33] <Talcite> hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my apache setup. All my pages say 403: forbidden
[15:33] <philsf> igorleliza: try putting this cronline in root's crontab, or /etc/crontab
[15:33] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: so i reformated the drive to ext3
[15:33] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: If you do "sudo fdisk -l" what filesystem does it say it is?
[15:34] <philsf> igorleliza: note the /etc/crontab syntax is slightly different, if you choose that
[15:34] <ifireball> NeoAngelus: this is why the runtime packages include the *.lib files while the *-deb packages include the *.a and *.h files
[15:34] <Starnestommy> Talcite: make sure that the pages are owned by www-data
[15:34] <Talcite> Starnestommy: owned? or read accessible?
[15:34] <mohkohn> Is there a way for me to share my wireless connection using dhcp?
[15:34] <ifireball> NeoAngelus: I meant *-dev packages
[15:34] <Starnestommy> Talcite: or have read permissions for everyone
[15:34] <igorleliza> philsf: as root, crontab -e  , 35 15 * * * amarok
[15:34] <sokol> ciao

[15:34] <nubotu> I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;)
[15:34] <mohkohn> ie. eth0 dhcp and wlan0 dhcp
[15:34] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: And I agree with legend2440, it looks like the UUID is suspicious too... Do like he says "sudo blkid" and check.
[15:34] <sokol> !list
[15:35] <philsf> igorleliza: amarok, or shutdown, after all?
[15:35] <mro1> hi.  i wasn't very specific with my original question, sorry.   i'm having trouble coming out of suspend - indicator lights turn on, but the screen remains blank and seemingly unresponsive. (gateway m-1617, ati radeon x1200 series, fglrx).  i've googled it a little and seen various "fixes," but haven't started mucking around making random changes in acpi related files.  anyone able to help?
[15:35] <ubuntu_> hi
[15:35] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: http://rafb.net/p/Y2EizQ21.html
[15:35] <alan_m> hello ubuntu_
[15:35] <Talcite> Starnestommy: I have global read/execute permissions on the files
[15:35] <igorleliza> philsf: amarok , cause i dont wanna shutdown the machine now
[15:35] <Talcite> Its symlinked from the var/www directory
[15:35] <Talcite> would that make a difference?
[15:35] <ubuntu_> i have no idea how to work irc, and im having tons of problems installing ubuntu
[15:35] <igorleliza> philsf: im using amarok to test it
[15:35] <philsf> igorleliza: what are you trying to do?
[15:36] <alan_m> ubuntu_, thats ok, were here for ya :)
[15:36] <slanning> why did ubuntu remove the nvidia driver? - I didn't tell it to
[15:36] <zvacet> sokol : what do you want to ask
[15:36] <philsf> igorleliza: don't start GUI applications from cron
[15:36] <alan_m> ubuntu_, what issues are ya having?
[15:36] <igorleliza> im trying to open now amarok at 15:36
[15:36] <Talcite> I remember in fedora you need to have every parent directory also have world read/execute perms
[15:36] <philsf> igorleliza: it won't work
[15:36] <ubuntu_> I can't get 8.04 to install
[15:36] <DjViper> ubuntu_: what sort of installion problems?
[15:36] <Talcite> is it the same case in ubuntu?
[15:36] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: Well, fdisk still thinks your partition is FAT32... you sure you reformatted it?
[15:36] <philsf> igorleliza: root doesn't have permission to open app windows in your user display
[15:36] <ubuntu_> it stops at like 25% and says the cd or my hard drive is messed up
[15:36] <DjViper> ubuntu_: that's a big vague, can you be more specific?
[15:36] <igorleliza> philsf: so how can i do that?
[15:36] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: yes... now i have to mount the partition manually
[15:36] <sokol> ciao
[15:37] <alan_m> ubuntu_, did you check the md5 sum?
[15:37] <sokol> !list
[15:37] <nubotu> I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;)
[15:37] <DjViper> ubuntu_: did you dl and burn the cd?
[15:37] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: is in /media/disk
[15:37] <alan_m> !fr | sokol
[15:37] <philsf> igorleliza: again, do what? where did amarok come into your shutdown problem?
[15:37] <ubuntu_> yes i DLed and burnt
[15:37] <nubotu> sokol: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr
[15:37] <Starnestommy> Talcite: it would probably be better to just change /etc/apache2/sites-available/default instead of using symlinks
[15:37] <ubuntu_> i dont know how to check md5 sum
[15:37] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: here's blkid http://rafb.net/p/gBXKkd80.html
[15:37] <Talcite> Starnestommy: hmm. Good point. Thanks, I'll look into how to do it
[15:37] <DjViper> ubuntu_: you should probably just download and burn again
[15:37] <ubuntu_> i've also tried 6.06, 7.04, 7.10
[15:37] <DjViper> or order it
[15:37] <igorleliza> philsf: my idea is to shutdown my machine at 8pm so i can go out now and leave it downloading something
[15:37] <zvacet> ubuntu_ : did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[15:37] <Dante123> sorry dc'ed.....I am trying to free up more room on HD....but the recycle bin/trash can is not on my desktop or panels...tried adding it but it won't work.....anyway to empty trash via cli
[15:38] <DjViper> ubuntu_: do you burn as image?
[15:38] <ubuntu_> i've tried 32 and 64 bit  viper, probably 5 different cds, verified burning etc.
[15:38] <igorleliza> philsf: im trying to use cron to do that but im doing something wrong and i dont know what
[15:38] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: Well, your UUID in your fstab is definitely wrong then... you need to at least change that.
[15:38] <ubuntu_> yes i burnt as iso, it reads the cds
[15:38] <alan_m> ubuntu, can you do something else for me then? (restart and check cd for defects)
[15:38] <philsf> igorleliza: I told you what
[15:38] <ubuntu_> it just wont install
[15:38] <ubuntu_> sure alan
[15:38] <NeoAngelus> ifireball: again thank you for the explanation, I will look into it. I am probably forgetting to link a library somewhere...
[15:38] <alan_m> ubuntu_, i mean through the menu of course.
[15:38] <philsf> igorleliza: you can't shutdown directly with your account
[15:38] <ubuntu_> i checked the cds
[15:38] <DjViper> ubuntu_: other cd's etc work well?
[15:38] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: ok, i'll replace it
[15:38] <ubuntu_> and some say they do have defects
[15:38] <marshall> does anybody know a good DJ application?
[15:39] <zvacet> ubuntu_ : look link I send to you
[15:39] <alan_m> ubuntu_, ive had that issue myself
[15:39] <ubuntu_> like 6.06 cd had defects, but it was the only one that actually installed all the way through
[15:39] <igorleliza> philsf: how can i shutdown the computer at one time if im using my account then?
[15:39] <alan_m> zvacet, did you send that link in room? (im looking and cant find it)
[15:39] <philsf> igorleliza: do you want to shutdown at a given time periodically, or just once?
[15:39] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: what is the exact command you type to successfully mount sda8?
[15:39] <igorleliza> philsf: just one
[15:40] <philsf> igorleliza: then don't use cron, use at
[15:40] <ifireball> NeoAngelus: If you haven't seen this yet, it may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Programming
[15:40] <ubuntu_> and 6.06 had tons of problems and i couldnt get it to upgrade to 8.04 and eventually the font crapped out and i couldnt read anything, so i had to wipe it
[15:40] <alan_m> zvacet, oh wait i see it sorry
[15:40] <Dante123> sorry dc'ed.....I am trying to free up more room on HD....but the recycle bin/trash can is not on my desktop or panels...tried adding it but it won't work.....anyway to empty trash via cli
[15:40] <igorleliza> philsf: just once sorry
[15:40] <adoul90> hey guyz.. how can u switch between keyboard layouts in ubuntu??
[15:40] <philsf> sudo at
[15:40] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: hmmm i actully use ubuntu gui for that
[15:40] <zvacet> alan_m : np
[15:40] <philsf> igorleliza: sudo at 15:30
[15:40] <jrib> adoul90: system -> preferences -> keyboard
[15:40] <philsf> and enter the commands you want (shutdown -h now)
[15:40] <adoul90> ya i added the keyboard i want
[15:40] <igorleliza> philsf: at means shutdown?
[15:41] <adoul90> but how do i switch between tehm
[15:41] <adoul90> ?
[15:41] <philsf> igorleliza: no, read man at
[15:41] <ChrisMir> Hi, I have ubuntu installed on sda3 partition with /boot on sda1 (and swap on sda2). I want kubuntu installed on sda5. What should I do with the boot partition? Can I use sda1 as boot partition for Kubuntu, while still being able to startup ubuntu on sda3?
[15:41] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: Ok just type "mount" at the command line, and see how sda8 is mounted...
[15:41] <jrib> adoul90: click on "layout options", it will tell you the shortcut
[15:41] <ubuntu_> ok so what should i try now anyone?
[15:41] <icqnumber_> !bootoptions
[15:41] <nubotu> For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[15:41] <jrib> adoul90: specifically, "Layout switching"
[15:41] <philsf> igorleliza: at executes a batch of "at" a given time
[15:41] <adoul90> jrib: which one is it?
[15:41] <zvacet> adoul90 : right click on panel<add to oanel>keyboard indicator
[15:42] <adoul90> thx
[15:42] <jrib> adoul90: which one is what?
[15:42] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: /dev/sda8 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[15:42] <ubuntu_> alan m you still there?
[15:42] <legend2440> PPKuma: Steve-Cal why would fdisk say sda8 is W95 FAT32 and blkid says its ext3?
[15:42] <alan_m> ubuntu_, yeah, sorry buddy, was looking at the link provided earlier.
[15:43] <nanoprobe> @all: has anybody here succeed to force Fn key on laptops to work with linux?
[15:43] <ubuntu_> thats ok
[15:43] <Dante123> man am I having problems....can't empty trash and create more space.  I wonder if upgrading 7.10 to 8.04 instead of clean install has something to do with it
[15:43] <PPKuma> legend2440: i think is because i reformated the partition reently from fat32 to ext3
[15:43] <Dante123> is there a way to empty recycle bin via cli
[15:43] <stueng> if I change my keyboard layout do I have to restart gnome applications or reboot or something ?
[15:43] <Steve-Cal> legend2440: That's exactly what I was wondering... ;)
[15:43] <philsf> Dante123: are you in gutsy or hardy?
[15:43] <alan_m> Dante123, i had problems upgrading myself, i feel your pain :)
[15:43] <igorleliza> philsf: thanks its really interesting, i can execute then amarok using at?
[15:43] <stueng> pressing both alts at the same time does not appear to be switching layouts
[15:44] <alan_m> stueng, what are you trying to do?
[15:44] <legend2440> PPKuma: what does partition editor say it is?
[15:44] <nanoprobe> stuend: just test the keys, u will know fast :)
[15:44] <ubuntu_> alan m like i was saying, i've checked cds for defects, and some do have them, but some dont, and none of them worked for me except 6.06 (which was actually one of the cds with defects)
[15:44] <zvacet> ubuntu_ : if you still have iso download same one with torrent and point download to the folder where is your iso torrent will just check iso and replace corrupted files if any after that check md5sum and burn
[15:44] <nanoprobe> stueng: just test the keys, u will know fast :)
[15:44] <philsf> igorleliza: maybe, but then you'll have to set $DISPLAY var, and run as the same user that's logged in the GUI
[15:44] <legend2440> PPKuma: what does partition editor say it is? vfat or ext3?
[15:44] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: Well, if you can successfully mount it as ext3, try using that in your fstab, but something is really suspicious since fdisk does not agree with blkid or mount.
[15:44] <PPKuma> legend2440: partition editor?
[15:44] <stueng> alan_m: I have a mac keyboard which in the UK layout cant type a hash - so I have to switch to american layout so I can type hash
[15:44] <philsf> igorleliza: maybe some other/less pre-requisites I'm not aware
[15:44] <legend2440> PPKuma: system>admin>partition editor
[15:44] <PPKuma> legend2440: what's the partition editor? fstab?
[15:45] <PPKuma> legend2440: oh
[15:45] <ubuntu_> i dont have iso files now just the CDs i burnt
[15:45] <stueng> gparted PPKuma
[15:45] <Rayvis> I installed Warcraft III on my laptop using Wine. Is it possible to set the game to run in openGL and be able to play the game from the icon or do I always have to start the game from terminal?
[15:45] <Dante123> hardy....
[15:45] <Dante123> philsf hardy
[15:45] <newubuntuuser> I have the latest Ubuntu, how can I get a compiz workspace cube?
[15:45] <Dante123> How can I empty trash
[15:45] <babolat> #winehq isn't too much help... trying to install a program, I get an error prompt Unable to Load Type Library | C:\Program Files\ThinstallPlugins\scripting.dll... what to do?
[15:45] <alan_m> ubuntu_, uh oh, you do need those files if your gonna check the integrity of your download.
[15:45] <jrib> !ccsm | newubuntuuser
[15:45] <nubotu> newubuntuuser: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[15:46] <PPKuma> legend2440: i cant find the partition editor =/
[15:46] <stueng> newubuntuuser: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:46] <newubuntuuser> jrib: thanks
[15:46] <jrib> newubuntuuser: in hardy, you want to install simple-ccsm instead
[15:46] <philsf> Dante123: then you probably want to clean the ..local/share/Trash/files and .local/share/Trash/info dirs
[15:46] <PPKuma> stueng: should i run that in console?
[15:46] <ubuntu_> yeah, heres the thing, i've downloaded like 6-7 different isos over the past 2 days
[15:46] <NeoAngelus> ifireball: I'll have look at it...and otherwise I will try some more festival oriented forum(or something alike)...or start with a easier application.
[15:46] <stueng> PPKuma: press alt+f2 then type gksu gparted
[15:46] <ubuntu_> so I seriously doubt they have all been bad
[15:46] <stueng> PPKuma: after you have apt-get install gparted
[15:46] <legend2440> PPKuma: sudo apt-get install gparted
[15:46] <ubuntu_> assuming I have a good version, what would my next step be?
[15:47] <t1_> broadcom
[15:47] <alan_m> checking the md5sum of that iso image
[15:47] <alan_m> ubuntu_, checking the md5sum of that iso image
[15:47] <alan_m> sorry
[15:47] <nanoprobe> newubuntuuser: goto system->preferences->advanced desktop effects settings
[15:47] <PPKuma> legend2440: i have installed QtParted, is it okay?
[15:47] <ubuntu_> but i have to have the iso to do that right?
[15:47] <alan_m> ubuntu_, correct
[15:47] <nanoprobe> @all: has anybody here succeed to force Fn key on laptops to work with linux?
[15:47] <ubuntu_> so i have to download the iso again inside the live cd environment and compare it to my live cd?
[15:47] <legend2440> PPKuma: sure what does that say ?
[15:48] <zvacet> ubuntu_ : did you tried alternate CD it is text based installer but it work good (for me even better then live)
[15:48] <Daisuke_Ido> nanoprobe: well yes, because the Fn key performs hardware functions - if it doesn't work, contact your manufacturer
[15:48] <alan_m> ubuntu_, meh, wow this ones getting complicated :)
[15:48] <Roughneck_cowboy> j'ai fait sudo nvidia-xconfig puis déconnexion et reconnexion = même pb
[15:48] <ubuntu_> i have the 8.04 live but i dont know how to install in txt based, and i tried to use the alternate to upgrade 6.06 and it just corrupted my system
[15:48] <etronik> YAY !!! :-))
[15:48] <alan_m> zvacet, your welcome to take over if thats ok with ubuntu_
[15:48] <nanoprobe> Daisuke_ldo: it works in windows boot, but not in linux (both os on the same laptop)
[15:49] <ifireball> NeoAngelus: try looking for some introductory howto about compiling and linking on Linux to explain issues about how libraries and programs work and relate, I'm sure there are plenty
[15:49] <ubuntu_> i mean 8.04 alternate sorry
[15:49] <PPKuma> legend2440: it say ext3
[15:49] <tARrAScH> Hi, sometimes when I login (like this time), my desktop doesn't has any icons on it, and there is no pop-up-menu when i rightclick the desktop. What's the name of the process that is responsible for it, and how can i fix the problem?
[15:49] <ubuntu_> thats fine with me alan
[15:49] <Daisuke_Ido> nanoprobe: there's no reason that should be, it's working well on my laptop
[15:49] <Daisuke_Ido> don't know what the difference would be
[15:49] <Dante123> philsf how do I do that
[15:49] <Frogzoo> tARrAScH: nautilus
[15:49] <alan_m> ok ubuntu_, thanks..i gotta do other stuff offline in a bit....so...be back later.
[15:49] <zvacet> ubuntu_ :do you have separate home partition?
[15:50] <ubuntu_> thanks for your help alan
[15:50] <tARrAScH> Frogzoo: Thanks, terminated it, it automatically restarted, it works perfectly :)
[15:50] <legend2440> PPKuma: then do as Steve-Cal said and change to ext3 and change uuid so it matches blkid
[15:50] <etronik> zvacet: you helped me solve the upgrade problem !! your suggestion of replacing the cources.list was KEY to identify offending packages !! THANKS !!
[15:50] <igorleliza> philsf: do you know what could i use to open apps at one time during the day?
[15:50] <PPKuma> legend2440: done
[15:50] <ubuntu_> well, originally i had my win xp partition, and then ubuntu 7.04 and swap
[15:50] <alan_m> ubuntu_, its what i do :) lol
[15:50] <wishie> well, i just tried to upgrade from feisty->gutsy->hardy with the update-manager..
[15:50] <zvacet> etronik : I ´m gled that I´m finally useful
[15:51] <ubuntu_> but now basically i just have 250 gb of free space
[15:51] <PPKuma> legend2440: then i'll wait to my last boot :)
[15:51] <wishie> fiesty->gutsy was 'ok', but gutsy->hardy was a COMPLETE mess
[15:51] <ubuntu_> i can partition however is easiest at this point
[15:51] <nanoprobe> Daisuke_ldo: you are right ... i never try anything except wlan, i just try some other functions, they work. it seems that i didn't install the correct wlan driver. although it says that hardware is present ...
[15:51] <etronik> zvacet: LOL!! now now, you guuys are always usefull !!
[15:51] <philsf> Dante123: do what? delete files from the cli?
[15:51] <wishie> the update-manager completely screwed it up, so i had to manually go to the cmdline and fix ALOT of unconfigured apps, and force a dist-upgrade
[15:51] <PPKuma> legend2440, Steve-Cal, stueng, thanks a lot for your time and patience
[15:51] <zvacet> etronik : you are one of us don´t you think
[15:52] <mro1> hi all - i'm having trouble with suspend/resume on my laptop.  the screen won't turn back on.  8.04, ati radeon x1200, fglrx.
[15:52] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: You can try it out without rebooting... "sudo umount /dev/sda8" and then "sudo mount -a"
[15:52] <jeisma> i typed in locate apachectl and it says /var/lib/slocate.db is more than 8 days old, how do i update?
[15:52] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: oh, ok
[15:52] <Starnestommy> jeisma: sudo updatedb
[15:52] <philsf> igorleliza: cron and at are expected to be used with non-interactive TUI programas.
[15:52] <Steve-Cal> PPKuma: Did that work?
[15:52] <nanoprobe> i blacklisted something, how can i "unblacklist"?
[15:52] <qoncept> i think compiz is the buggiest software i've ever used
[15:52] <vanminh_dv03> hi
[15:52] <philsf> igorleliza: that doesn't mean GUI apps won't work, but you'll have to fiddle with the environment difference
[15:52] <ubuntu_> did you see my last response zvacet, i dont really have anything on my harddrive at this point
[15:53] <jay> hai
[15:53] <zvacet> ubuntu_ If you have separate home your files will be intact to make one http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/separatehome
[15:53] <ubuntu_> what is seperatehome
[15:53] <PPKuma> Steve-Cal: wait a sec, i'm closing the files running from sda8
[15:53] <nanoprobe> qoncept: strange, cause it works fine on my machine

[15:57] <phoenix_> I'm having an issue with errors trying to run something. I think it may be because it's linked against an older version of glibc but I don't know how to make it compatable. The error message I get when executing is just below:

[15:59] <chmhd> OK,thanks
[15:59] <rodolfo_> ubuntu is eating up my processor! It's being used @100% but there is nothing already opened that requires that much power (actually I'm using metacity and xchat right now). what do I do?
[15:59] <Starnestommy> logankoester: try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[15:59] <michael_> Steve-Cal: "blkid" ???
[16:00] <Ben__> rodolfo_ use a console and type ps -ef|grep -v 00:00

[16:03] <rodolfo_> Ben__ could you take a look @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/15998/ for me?
[16:03] <Steve-Cal> michael_: OK great, first backup your fstab file before you modify it: "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak" (or call it whatever you want)
[16:03] <michael_> Steve-Cal: the one i want to do is /dev/sda4
[16:04] <Ben__> sure
[16:04] <michael_> Steve-Cal: ok done
[16:04] <Steve-Cal> michael_: OK open up fstab: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[16:05] <michael_> Steve-Cal: k
[16:05] <Nutzebahn> Hi. I would like to develop Flash programs in Ubuntu, how can I do that?
[16:05] <Steve-Cal> michael_: Then put this into your fstab, but use your own UUID for sda4:

[16:06] <phoenix_> is there a glibc gcc compatability package in the repos, and if so what is it named?
[16:06] <Starnestommy> phoenix_: libglib2.0-dev
[16:07] <wabash> Anyone here ever use ffmpeg for converting flv files to audio?
[16:07] <Ben__> rodolfo_ - the only thing that seems to be using a lot of CPU is /usr/bin/X so unless im being really stupid (quite likely) then it would look like it's the X system that could be hammering it.
[16:07] <michael_> ok done
[16:07] <rook1234> after booting, i can login, but after the login i just can see the wallpaper. if i enter a cd, nautilus starts, but i cant execute vlc, bash,... what can i do?
[16:07] <phoenix_> hmm, installed
[16:07] <Ben__> rodolfo_ are you running any apps on the machine?
[16:07] <adante> anybody here use freenx? is it actually supposed to be usable?
[16:08] <michael_> Steve-Cal: can my mount directory be /Data_Disk
[16:08] <phoenix_> I'm getting this when I try to run wolfgl
[16:08] <rodolfo_> Ben__ it makes sense since X has been a headache since these days I got Ubuntu hardy
[16:08] <phoenix_> ./wolfgl: relocation error: ./wolfgl: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
[16:08] <rodolfo_> no. not at all.
[16:08] <phoenix_> That's from the binary being linked against old libraries isn't it?
[16:08] <broken_quiche> To back up config files, do I just run this command or will it be more complex? 'mkdir ~/johnconf; mkdir ~/johnconf/sys; mkdir ~/johnconf/user; cp /etc/* ~/johnconf/sys; cp ~/.* ~/johnconf/user;'
[16:08] <juka> #ect
[16:09] <Steve-Cal> michael_: Yes, if that directory exists, but it is convention to mount it to /media or /mnt. I don't think you'll run into any problems.
[16:09] <rodolfo_> Ben__ what do you want me to do?
[16:09] <juka> join ect
[16:09] <Ben__> rodolfo_ not sure really

[16:11] <kk> hello there
[16:11] <rodolfo_> Ben__ so I have a question, how can I make compiz-fusion NOT to be initialized after the system start up? I mean how can I make Ubuntu to use metacity as the default window manager instead of C-F?
[16:11] <mynyml> ompaul: hardy, for a touchscreen. i have a patch for it and i need to recompile
[16:11] <broken_quiche> 'mkdir ~/johnconf; mkdir ~/johnconf/sys; mkdir ~/johnconf/user; cp /etc/* ~/johnconf/sys; cp ~/.* ~/johnconf/user;'
[16:11] <chmhd> 如何加入中文频道？
[16:11] <ompaul> mynyml, and where is this patch?

[16:11] <broken_quiche> Will that back up my config files?
[16:11] <phoenix_> heh, nv is why I'm using kubuntu, still no binary drivers for fedora yet.
[16:11] <korobase> A error show me "Could not calculate the upgrade!" How to fix this?
[16:11] <korobase> A error show me "Could not calculate the upgrade!" How to fix this?

[16:13] <ompaul> mynyml, you are using x86_64
[16:13] <mynyml> ompaul: no, 32
[16:13] <ompaul> mynyml, if you read the instructions they are for the 64 bit system
[16:13] <broken_quiche> Will this command back up all of my config files? 'mkdir ~/johnconf; mkdir ~/johnconf/sys; mkdir ~/johnconf/user; cp /etc/* ~/johnconf/sys; cp ~/.* ~/johnconf/user;'

[16:16] <broken_quiche> ompaul: Sorry. And okay; I was just trying to help out, wouldn't want to be a pain by telling somebody to do something that would put an unecessary burden on the servers.
[16:16] <danbhfive> mohamed_: ide's will get listed as sda
[16:16] <virtuald> chris420: you can set up a transparent proxy server that only shows one page
[16:17] <ompaul> broken_quiche, I think given they deal with millions of users they can cope with one person looking for a few packages
[16:17] <mohamed_> danbhfive-> but why this input/output error ?
[16:17] <mohamed_> danbhfive-> or how i solve it, i installed more than system on this CF b4
[16:17] <keiserr> redownloaded the packages, still the same error
[16:17] <Ben__> Anyone used JINZORA on ubuntu server???
[16:18] <danbhfive> mohamed_: i dont know

[16:18] <broken_quiche> Can someone help me please (sorry to keep on posting)
[16:18] <mynyml> ompaul: any chance you could help me out with the compile then? there are instructions, they're just a bit too cryptic for me
[16:18] <broken_quiche> Will this back all my configs up? 'mkdir ~/johnconf; mkdir ~/johnconf/sys; mkdir ~/johnconf/user; cp /etc/* ~/johnconf/sys; cp ~/.* ~/johnconf/user;'

[16:23] <philsf> jrib: who needs a turin's test with such a stupid bot?
[16:23] <Nutzebahn> Hi. I would like to develop Flash programs in Ubuntu, how can I do that?
[16:23] <freefull> Ta3v, it isn't possible to make it boot windows only once.
[16:23] <virtuald> Ta3v: yes
[16:23] <icqnumber> !wine
[16:23] <nubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[16:23] <uberspaced> Ta3v, make 2 grub configs
[16:23] <d34d10gic> Okay than, I have Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, and it's extremely slow. I have no idea why since last version of Ubuntu was really fast. I installed openSuSe to see if that it's just my computer, but openSuSe worked perfectly fine and was fast, so, I reinstalled Ubuntu over it again, and it's stil slow, I have no idea what's going on.
[16:23] <uberspaced> have the windows one boot by default in one
[16:23] <uberspaced> then just swap the configs out in the cron job and cron up /sbin/shutdown -r now
[16:24] <anirudh0> philsf, do you think people would find out that they are talking to a bot?
[16:24] <Starnestommy> d34d10gic: you mught need to disable compiz
[16:24] <uberspaced> It's not something I'd help you do aside from this but it is possible.
[16:24] <d34d10gic> How do I do that?
[16:24] <d34d10gic> And what is compiz?
[16:24] <smallfoot-> plz put new wine in repo
[16:24] <jrib> smallfoot-: use winehq's repositories
[16:24] <danbhfive> smallfoot-: just get it at the winehq website
[16:24] <jrib> !wine > smallfoot- (read the private message from ubottu)
[16:25] <safew_> The current wine runs a couple of programs for me
[16:25] <philsf> anirudh0: to a bot that has one line? :)
[16:25] <safew_> pretty well
[16:25] <bazhang> !brainstorm | smallfoot-
[16:25] <nubotu> smallfoot-: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like!
[16:25] <Roums> Does anyone can give me advice with that : http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/source-directe-570.html (cannot mount partition, it is damaged)
[16:25] <Starnestommy> d34d10gic: go to system > preferences > appearance, then go to visual effects and select none
[16:25] <anirudh0> philsf, hiw do you know that i am not a bot ;)
[16:26] <d34d10gic> I did that already.
[16:26] <d34d10gic> It's still slow.
[16:26] <chuy_max> hi, gdmsetup is not working, I tried to access it from System->Login Window, so I checked what app did it launch, so I launch gdmsetup from terminal and I get nothing
[16:26] <chuy_max> any ideas?
[16:26] <Starnestommy> d34d10gic: check to see what could be using up a lot of CPU and memory in the System Monitor
[16:26] <philsf> anirudh0: since you are infinitely more sofisticated than danone???, I'll have to ask Mr. Harisson Ford
Ctrl+Alt+F1
[16:26] <ivo_> where is my keyboard shortcut's file in ubuntu?
[16:27] <anirudh0> chuy_max, gdmsetup takes inordinate amount of time to start sometimes..take a tea break :)
[16:27] <safew_> then a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[16:27] <chuy_max> anirudh0, ok, I will leave it for a longer time
[16:27] <Ta3v> hey how can I flash a message to other users on my system saying "system is shutting down in 5 mins"
[16:27] <the_darkside_986> I'm having trouble with a broken autogen installation. It refuses to remove or allow dependent packages to install because the configure script keeps crashing. how do i fix this or force it to remove?
[16:27] <anirudh0> philsf, how would an actor know about the turing test?
[16:27] <chuy_max> safew, I don't have any problem with gdm, I already tried gdmsetup in different sessions.
[16:27] <safew_> ok
[16:28] <brandon__> Hi all, I'm having a lot of trouble installing 8.04, or almost any version for that matter
[16:28] <philsf> anirudh0: oh, my... these people today have no respect for the classics...
[16:28] <flyinggreg> hey everyone - I got a problem with networking on hoary that I need some help with
[16:28] <bazhang> brandon__, please elaborate
please mention the hardware
[16:28] <wishie> is the latest scrollkeeper package stuffed ? i cant install it. it makes dpkg fail in a big way
[16:28] <philsf> anirudh0: :)
[16:28] <anirudh0> philsf, shame on me :)....which one though?
[16:28] <bazhang> flyinggreg, hoary is no longer supported
[16:28] <brandon__> ok bazhang, well I try to install 8.04 or most other versions from the live cd, and it fails at around 25%
[16:28] <d34d10gic> Nope...I'm only using 16% of the first CPU and 20% of the second, but for some reason, they keep going up to their 80%s and than dropping straight back down.
[16:28] <brandon__> with an input/output error
[16:28] <pjv> how can i watch drm protected video in linux?
[16:28] <philsf> anirudh0: bladerunner
[16:28] <flyinggreg> oops - i meant 8.04
[16:28] <Ta3v> is there a command to flash a message to all users logged in either through console or GUI saying "The system will shut down in 5 minutes" ?
[16:29] <bazhang> brandon__, have you md5summed the iso and done an integrity check of the disk
[16:29] <flyinggreg> I am running a dual boot with 8.04 and win 2k
[16:29] <matt444> what is the name of the mplayer mode that does ASCII art?
[16:29] <brandon__> no because I don't have an iso anymore
[16:29] <joe7d6> kde 4.04 or 4.1 beta 1?
[16:29] <ricket> Suspend usually works for me, but this morning I woke up, resumed my computer, and only the power light went on. Nothing else in the system functioned (well maybe the fans, i can't remember). I had to hold the power btn to turn it off and then resume. How can I figure out the problem? I don't know where to begin...
[16:29] <brandon__> I guess that means I have to download one, only right now I dont even have a working OS
[16:29] <brandon__> im working off the live cd
[16:29] <Pxrbot> I have a problem with my Broadcom wireless card, im sure ive instlled the correct drivers but it isnt showing in the Hardware Drivers or the network settings box. id be grateful for any help as when i take my laptop out and about i cant do what i need with it :(
[16:30] <gordonjcp> matt444: aalib
[16:30] <jeisma> how do i change directory to my /usr/local
[16:30] <derspankster> guess i'll just have to do a fresh install - this upgrade is just a total mess
[16:30] <gordonjcp> matt444: "-vo aa"
[16:30] <Starnestommy> jeisma: cd /usr/local
[16:30] <bazhang> brandon__, then do the disk integrity check for the moment-->sounds like a corrupt iso however
[16:30] <torshido> if I already have a screen(1) session running, how can another user see the same window, without dumping me from my screen? what screen parameters should he use?
[16:30] <the_darkside_986> This error keeps messing up my whole package management system: "E: autogen: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"
[16:30] <jeisma> Starnestommy i do that and it doesn't let me and it says /home/jeisma/usr/local: no such file or directory
[16:30] <jeisma> and obviously its no in home, its on the same level as home
[16:30] <Starnestommy> torshido: screen -r
[16:30] <fixed> torshido:screen -x
[16:30] <flyinggreg> i can't seem to connect to networks either wired or wireless - driving me nuts
[16:30] <brandon__> i think possible my burner is bad because I have tried atleast 5 different ISOs
[16:31] <ivo_> where is a file with my keyboard shortcuts?
[16:31] <anirudh0> the_darkside_986, it must give some more messages..pastebin the whole thing
[16:31] <jeisma> how do i change directories from my homefolder to my system folder?
[16:31] <safew_> brandon__ even before starting live CD have you checked for defects
[16:31] <safew_> on the CD?
[16:31] <Starnestommy> jeisma: cd /usr/local should work
[16:31] <bazhang> brandon__, possible, though bad media quality is often the culprit
[16:31] <anirudh0> ivo_, file?..you can change them in gconf-editor or keyboard shortcuts..in sys>prefs
[16:31] <brandon__> bad media quality, like bad blank discs?
[16:31] <legend2440> Ta3v: read man wall
[16:31] <d34d10gic> Any help?
[16:31] <the_darkside_986> no it doesn't show more than that error message
[16:32] <safew_> brandon__ May be yes, and as you said the burner
[16:32] <ivo_> anirudh0, but i want a file, there must be a file with that
[16:32] <brandon__> i hadn't thought about that
[16:32] <anirudh0> brandon__, you are sure the error is not because of bad sectors on the hdd?
[16:32] <safew_> brandon__ but do CDs fail while burning?
[16:32] <the_darkside_986> Why isn't CodeBlocks in the repos or something. Anjuta sucks and the package doesn't resolve any dependencies properly.
[16:32] <wishie> is there some known issue with scrollkeeper 0.3.14-15ubuntu1 ?
[16:32] <Cico> hey everybody
[16:32] <Cico> "apt-get dist-upgrade" installs previously removed packages which are not depended on by any installed packages. Is that normal?
[16:32] <bazhang> brandon__, either media quality of too fast a burn (or corrupt iso)
[16:32] <wishie> installing it on this hardy install, just causes  dpkg to fail
[16:32] <brandon__> I tried slowing the burns down
[16:33] <giorgos> high everyone
[16:33] <giorgos> i would like to ask
[16:33] <brandon__> i burnt at 4x with imgburn and verified the burn back when i had windows (yesterday)
[16:33] <brandon__> and it seemed fine
[16:33] <anirudh0> ivo_, i understand what you are saying..but i doubt there is one of that sort..gconf stores its settings in a file though..iirc an xml one
[16:33] <danbhfive> Cico: I think only if there are broken dependencies
[16:33] <gordonjcp> !ask | giorgos
are all the depencies getting?
[16:33] <nubotu> giorgos: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
resolved?
[16:33] <giorgos> if you are using pidgin internet messenger and when you add your accounts
[16:34] <anirudh0> brandon__, are you burning to a rewritable cd..i had 5 failures coz of that..before i burnt the hardy iso to a normal cd-r
[16:34] <Cico> while "aptitude full-upgrade" does not install those.
[16:34] <giorgos> you receive a message that the format of that account is not compatible in ubuntu
maybe you should try installing through synaptic,it resolves all the dependencies
[16:34] <the_darkside_986> Is there a non-crappy IDE for C/C++ in Ubuntu 8.04 repos? Anjuta wants autogen, which has completely ruined my package management system with no hope of recovery.
[16:34] <giorgos> can you suggest an idea?
[16:34] <flyinggreg> does anyone know if you can look at your linux system from win 2k on a dual boot?
[16:34] <Ta3v> No flyinggreg
[16:35] <safew_> the_darkside_986 why don't you try Emacs
[16:35] <flyinggreg> i was afraid of that
[16:35] <Ta3v> Windows only recognizes Fat32 and NTFS partitions
[16:35] <anirudh0> the_darkside_986, depends on what you mean by crappy...check out geany...though emacs is by far the best :P
[16:35] <bazhang> flyinggreg, sure you can just get the ext2/ext3 drivers
[16:35] <chain> hello
[16:35] <gordonjcp> flyinggreg: depends, apparently you can find a driver that lets you read ext2/ext3 partitions
[16:35] <ottoshmidt> about VM when I delete VM in Virtual box, do u know if the partition is lost?
[16:35] <ottoshmidt> in VM manager first release and then remove
[16:35] <anirudh0> flyinggreg, there is an ext3 driver for xp
[16:35] <bazhang> flyinggreg, www.fs-drivers.org iirc
[16:35] <the_darkside_986> well, i need something to reduce the tedium of re-writing my Makefile when I need to add a source file. something like Code::blocks
[16:36] <gordonjcp> the_darkside_986: you want automake
[16:36] <the_darkside_986> but what was that one command to fix the package manager when it is broken?
[16:36] <anirudh0> the_darkside_986, emacs must have a macro for that...but never tried myself
[16:36] <gordonjcp> the_darkside_986: or better yet, start using Scons instead
[16:36] <RobLoach> paste: HI!!!!

[16:37] <flyinggreg> i am running a dual-boot system and the networking was working and then quit after an update - so the only way I can get on the net is through the win2k boot - i could use some help trying to figure out what needs to be changed but....i need to be able to look at the linux boot from windows..
[16:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[16:37] <nubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[16:37] <giorgos> can you tell me if you had ever seen before that error in pidgin instant messenger program in ubuntu?
[16:37] <flyinggreg> hmmm...fs-driver might be what i am looking for
[16:37] <safew_> gcalc has some comma problems
[16:37] <anirudh0> Jack_Sparrow, congrats..the new factoid system is much better imho
[16:38] <gordonjcp> giorgos: what language are you using?
[16:38] <Finnish> Any help on my video cam problem? lsusb says Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller
[16:38] <Finnish> and Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:6028 Microdia
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> giorgos What service are you trying to connect to?
[16:38] <giorgos> english united states
[16:38] <Finnish> I can'yt
[16:38] <anirudh0> flyinggreg, i hope your linux partition was ext3..no drivers yet for reiserfs or xfs at the moment
[16:38] <Finnish> see them
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> anirudh0 They are working to make it better all the time
[16:38] <giorgos> service you mean the account on net
[16:38] <giorgos> is yahoo
[16:38] <chuy_max> hi, when I copy a song from my ipod to my library in rhytmbox, does anyone know how to format the song's name in a certain way?, I checked the preferences but I can't find that option
[16:38] <giorgos> or you mean service port?
[16:39] <torshido> fixed: screen -x did it
[16:39] <Jack_Sparrow> giorgos Yahoo was what I was after.
[16:39] <giorgos> jack can you be more specific please?
[16:39] <alexMK> Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 8(Hardy) with an nvidia GF 6 card, the resolution is stuck to a max of 800x600x60Hz and there's nothing in the "Hardware Drivers" dialog that might be enabled
[16:39] <flyinggreg> anirudh, i am pretty much a newb - how will i be able to check that?
[16:40] <chain> Could someone please give me some advice? I'm having problems with usb networking, I have PL2501 based usb cable/adapter/host2host bridge and after connecting it I get: [  245.789390] usb 6-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 23
[16:40] <chain> [  245.853213] usb 6-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[16:40] <chain>  usb0 never gets created
[16:40] <giorgos> when i am loading the accounts to the buddy
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> giorgos I was trying to define if you were having problems with pidgin on yahoo, msn or something like irc
[16:40] <giorgos> with msn messenger in windows no problem
[16:41] <giorgos> all the accounts are enables
[16:41] <giorgos> with pidgin
[16:41] <giorgos> although i have activated my account
[16:41] <giorgos> in the yahoo
[16:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter | giorgos
[16:41] <philsf> alexMK: have you tried changing the resolution in System>PReferences>Screen Resolution?
[16:41] <nubotu> giorgos: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:41] <JBB> Who could recommend a good compiler?
[16:42] <anirudh0> flyinggreg, system-monitor should show the fs type..but you are on windows..so install the etx3 driver..if it does'nt work then you had reiser or xfs :)
[16:42] <philsf> JBB: gcc isn't good enough?
[16:42] <Jack_Sparrow> giorgos Are we talking about yahoo buddies or msn buddies..
[16:42] <flyinggreg> i tried using fs-driver...asked me if i want to format the drive...bummer, didn't work
[16:42] <giorgos> when i add my friend list I am receiving the error that my friend is not on the server
[16:42] <JBB> gcc doesn't seem to work... probably something I'm doing wrong.
[16:42] <flyinggreg> anirudh, thanks
[16:42] <Jack_Sparrow> giorgos You do understand you can be doing both at once.. unless something has changed
[16:43] <Starnestommy> JBB: is build-essential installed?
[16:43] <anirudh0> flyinggreg, that is'nt right..it should'nt make you format the partition
[16:43] <flyinggreg> showed up as a J;
[16:43] <JBB> Probably not, would that be in Synaptic?
[16:43] <giorgos> alias<EMAIL_ADDRESS>status not on server list
[16:43] <anirudh0> Starnestommy, is there a gcc command without build-essential?
[16:44] <giorgos> Sorry, this profile seems to be in a language or format that is not supported at this time.
[16:44] <giorgos> that is the error message
[16:44] <hischild> greetings.
[16:44] <Starnestommy> JBB: yes.  It can also be installed in a terminal with sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:44] <philsf> anirudh0: gcc command is provided by the gcc package
[16:44] <Starnestommy> anirudh0: I think gcc is installed by default but without build-essential for some strange reason
[16:44] <JBB> Starnestommy, thanks for that.
[16:44] <anirudh0> thats a bug then..gcc makes no sense without build-essential
[16:45] <Starnestommy> anirudh0: I think debian may also be like that
[16:45] <philsf> anirudh0: oh, I missed the point
[16:45] <hischild> build-essential is not installed by default, however a compiler can be present due to being a dependency for another package.
[16:45] <anirudh0> Starnestommy, debian devs are amongst the best..they could'nt have made such a basic error
[16:46] <Stroganoff> you can use gcc without build-essential..
[16:46] <anirudh0> hischild, oh..ok
[16:46] <JBB> General Linux question: Is apt-get installing something already located on the system?
[16:46] <tritium> Yes, but if you look at the reverse dependencies, there is nothing.  gcc is simply there on its own.
[16:46] <Starnestommy> JBB: in ubuntu and other debian-based distributions, it is
[16:46] <JBB> Starnestommy: I though so.
[16:46] <danbhfive> JBB: no, usually it is d/l'ing it, and then passing it off to dpkg for installation
[16:47] <hischild> anirudh0: to be more precise, build-essential is nearly never a dependency, as it's a meta package which has all the compile tools which you'll have to install by hand (the meta package, that is)
[16:47] <jeisma> i want to change directories to /usr/local but when i do cd /usr/local it says no such file or direcotry in /home/jeisma/usr/local
[16:47] <jeisma> and usr/local is in my system folder
[16:47] <anirudh0> hischild, dpkg show this "Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.1.1), g++ (>= 4:4.1.1), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5)
[16:47] <anirudh0> "
[16:47] <Starnestommy> jeisma: are yuo typing "cd /usr/local" or "cd usr/local" ?
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> JBB FYI since you need headers anyhow this might be a better choice..   sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
[16:47] <hischild> jrib: make sure you type /usr/local and not usr/local
[16:47] <tritium> Interesting: ubuntu-desktop recommends gcc
[16:48] <hischild> anirudh0: yes, it depends on gcc, not build-essential. A package can depend on part of the dependencies for build-essential, but there shouldn't be a package depending on that meta package.
[16:48] <anirudh0> while gcc "Depends: cpp (>= 4:4.2.3-1ubuntu5), gcc-4.2 (>= 4.2.3-1)"
[16:48] <anirudh0> hmm
[16:49] <anirudh0> so the only thing you miss without build-essential is make?
[16:49] <philsf> JBB: it hischild but there are
[16:49] <hischild> yes.
[16:49] <philsf> hischild: but there are
[16:49] <anirudh0> still looks like a bug though....
[16:49] <Starnestommy> anirudh0: I think that the libc/glibc headers may be missing without it
[16:49] <axisys> how do I send all logs to a pipe as well? mkfifo /var/log/splunk  and then add an entry *.debug  |/var/log/splunk
[16:50] <hischild> philsf: there are always exceptions.
[16:50] <axisys> that should do it?
[16:50] <selven_> wtf, now patch isn't here
[16:50] <Stroganoff> you can use bare gcc to compile your own tiny c apps
[16:50] <tritium> anirudh0: a bug for ubuntu-desktop to depend on gcc, you're saying?
[16:50] <selven_> how do i apply a patch if patch command doesn't work?
[16:50] <JonDeere> Hi! I damaged my hard drive install of Ubuntu, and need advice to fix it
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> selven_ Please dont use wtx.. it is not allowed in here
[16:50] <JBB> Hello world didn't compile with the default ubuntu setup.
[16:50] <selven_> okie
[16:50] <anirudh0> tritium, no..i mean either dont depend on gcc..or depend on the full build-essential
[16:50] <Ahadiel> selven_, You install patch! sudo apt-get install patch
[16:50] <JBB> Using gcc.
[16:50] <hischild> JonDeere: what seems to be the problem?
[16:51] <selven_> Ahadiel, can't install patch, having osme problems with python-apt
[16:51] <Stroganoff> ubuntu-desktop recommends gcc. this is not a dependency
[16:52] <Ahadiel> selven_, sudo aptitude install patch?
[16:52] <selven_> Ahadiel, nopes doesn't work, even with -f
[16:52] <tritium> Stroganoff: nevertheless, it's installed by default
[16:52] <anirudh0> Stroganoff, ok...but as JBB points out..a half baked gcc, the one provided by the default install, is next to useless..
[16:52] <selven_> Ahadiel, dont use wtx.. it is not allowed in here
[16:52] <selven_> * philsf<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[16:52] <Nutzebahn> Hi. I would like to develop Flash programs in Ubuntu, how can I do that?

[16:52] <Ahadiel> selven_, ...
[16:53] <selven_> hmm sorry about that
[16:53] <JonDeere> OK
[16:53] <nihil_> hi
[16:53] <selven_> a minute
[16:53] <sharperguy> can anyone give me linkage to a simple overview of how the scheduler works in the latest Linux kernel provided with ubuntu?

[16:54] <selven_> Ahadiel, http://pastebin.com/d3140cfb5
[16:54] <anirudh0> sharperguy, the scheduler is called really fair scheduler iirc...googling should help from this point on
[16:54] <JonDeere> Well, Ubuntu is acting oddly ever since trying to install Wine, WineTricks, and a new video driver. The gent assisting me helped uninstall the videodriver with a Sudo command. It didnt help it... When I boot to Recovery Mode, the menu gets a black bar of video garbage over the options, but I can still select Attempt To Fix X-console
[16:54] <JonDeere> I've tried that, no change
[16:54] <nihil_> I need help. I want to make a bridged network from ATH0 over BR0 to ETH0. But I don't find a right description how to make that...
[16:54] <philsf> window move 2
[16:54] <sharperguy> anirudh0, ok cheers
[16:54] <philsf> ops
[16:54] <JonDeere> So, should I manually over-install from CD again? Or is there hope?
[16:54] <tritium> philsf: yes?
[16:55] <philsf> tritium: sorry, I mean oops
[16:55] <selven_> sharperguy: i advise you to read Linux kernel Development by Robert Love
[16:55] <tritium> philsf: no worries
[16:55] <selven_> Ahadiel, http://pastebin.com/d3140cfb5
[16:55] <Jack_Sparrow> nihil_ I am not the person to ask, but I think people were using firestarter to help with that
[16:55] <hardhatpat> how do i mount a usb flash drive?
[16:55] <JonDeere> I'm running live from CD again, pidgin won't load on the bugged install
[16:55] <sharperguy> selven_, I'll look it up thanks
[16:56] <selven_> sharperguy, : that's the best book if you want to understand the linux kernel :D i loved it
[16:56] <anirudh0> any ideas about Nutzebahn's question..i'd like to do that as well..
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> JonDeere You can try getting the new pidgin from getdeb.net.. it may help if it is just that one package
[16:56] <selven_> any idea http://pastebin.com/d3140cfb5
[16:57] <JonDeere> Jack, is there a way to manually reinstall pidgin from CD?
[16:57] <JonDeere> I'm running it from the CD now
[16:58] <JonDeere> Though I still worry about the video garbage on the recovery boot menu
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> JonDeere You should be able to use synaptic and completely remove and reinstall it
[16:58] <JonDeere> Synaptic? Is that on the CD?
[16:58] <Me2> hmm, does anyone have any idea how to make it so that nm uses gnome-keyring - fed up of having to type in my password on every reboot

[16:59] <JonDeere> OK
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> JonDeere It is part of the install yes
[17:00] <tritium> JonDeere: so, you should be able to to sudo apt-get install --reinstall pidgin
[17:00] <lilac> my dvd drive doesn't work in ubuntu (works fine in linux). symptoms are the same as https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/10811 except that the drive is SATA not PATA. anyone got any debugging tips?

[17:04] <pavel_> hey guys, in ubuntu 8.04 i have several problems with mozilla firefox. 1) it doesnt play flash applications instantly, i have to click on each (there is a symbol of flash). and 2) - sometimes it doesn't play sound in youtube. i watch a few videos, and then i have to restart the computer :(
[17:05] <kiki_> kiki@kiki-desktop:~$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko

[17:05] <ushi-tam> (8.04) I have a Radeon 9600 connected DVI-HDMI to my television. Video is right, but no sound. How do I get sound in this situation?
[17:05] <anirudh0> selven_, the python-apt failure looks like a bad download(failed to parse attribute)..sudo apt-get clean..and again try apt-get -f install
[17:06] <joshual> anyone?
[17:06] <anirudh0> pavel_, that is what happens when a flash blocking extension is in use..you are sure you have'nt enabled one?
[17:06] <hischild> I'm looking for a way to add text to an image with command line options.
[17:06] <mordof> ok, so i've got a server install of ubuntu going.  and i'm using cygwin on xp to ssh into it.  how would i increase the amount of text that stays showing up in the buffer server side?
[17:06] <legend2440> pavel_: some have said that inatalling      libflashsupport    in synaptic has helped with you tube problems
[17:07] <mordof> i changed it on xp so it can hold a ton more text to show, but it only shows a tiny section of it
[17:07] <jeanne> Hi. I noticed there was a kernel upgrade (2.6.24.(16->17)) but the default in grub is still .16 and I couldn't find the kernel in the package manager.
[17:07] <Nutzebahn> legend2440, bazhang, thank you.:
[17:07] <pavel_> legend: ok, thanks :) anirudh. im not really sure about any flash blocking extension...
[17:08] <anirudh0> jeanne, have you done any unusual stuff..like playing around with apt?
[17:08] <bazhang> Nutzebahn, good luck :)
[17:08] <anirudh0> pavel_, eg: flashblock puts a flash icon ..the one you described
[17:08] <anirudh0> legend2440, thanks ..very good link
[17:08] <jeanne> anirudh0: no, just with the GUI
[17:08] <joshual> hey folks, ubuntu starts up quickly enough, but gnome starts up pretty slowly... help?
[17:09] <legend2440> anirudh0: yw
[17:09] <anirudh0> jeanne, in particular..do you remember putting any "lock",or "pin", on a kernel version
[17:09] <Nutzebahn> Thank you. :)
[17:09] <jeanne> anirudh0: no I didn't do anything like that
[17:09] <anirudh0> legend2440, whats yw?
[17:10] <elaine> anyone know any different apt-get servers?
[17:10] <anirudh0> jeanne, is linux-generic installed?
[17:10] <elaine> and how to add them?>
[17:10] <jeanne> I just installed 8.04 today so I would've remembered :)
[17:10] <anirudh0> elaine, <cc>.archive.ubuntu.com..cc is country code
[17:10] <legend2440> anirudh0: your welcome
[17:10] <pavel_> anirudh0, thanks a lot, i ve disabled the flashblock :)
[17:10] <Roughneck_cowboy> r
[17:10] <etronik> qiute a few errors on the upgrade script, let's see if I don't get a hosed system
[17:10] <anirudh0> legend2440, oh..i thought "you wish" :)
[17:11] <jeanne> anirudh0: No, it says "There is no matching application available."
[17:11] <flyrev> Hi. Anyone know what's causing emacs to display a default makefile when I type "emacs makefile" at a terminal (and no makefile present in that directory)?
[17:11] <anirudh0> jeanne, ?..i meant the package "linux-generic"..failing that try "linux-386"
[17:11] <tgm4883_laptop> whats the deal with firefox when you try to download something it you can't tell it to open or save the file because the ok button is greyed out for a period of time?
[17:11] <anirudh0> flyrev, its supposed to be a feature :)
[17:12] <Roughneck_cowboy> Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider svp ?

[17:12] <nubotu> Roughneck_cowboy: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr
[17:12] <hischild> tgm4883_laptop: that's normal.  Keeping the focus on the download window makes it clickable.
[17:12] <flyrev> anirudh0, how can I edit the default file that pops up?
[17:12] <legend2440> a French cowboy?
[17:12] <the_darkside_986> i need to remove a package by force, with no question or objects from the system, what is the command for that?
[17:12] <jeanne> anirudh0: I know. That one is not listed anywhere either.
[17:12] <anirudh0> flyrev, normally..its just a skeleton..you have to fill in everything
[17:12] <mohkohn_> Where can I directly download Firefox 2X for Ubuntu. Not with apt?
[17:12] <tgm4883_laptop> hischild, is there a way to disable that?
[17:13] <anirudh0> jeanne, post your sources.list
[17:13] <hischild> tgm4883_laptop: best bet: look in the options. I'm not sure.
[17:13] <mohkohn_> I mean not with apt!
[17:13] <anirudh0> jeanne, on pastebin
[17:13] <tgm4883_laptop> hischild, thanks
[17:13] <joshual> hey folks, ubuntu starts up quickly enough, but gnome starts up pretty slowly... help?
[17:13] <flyrev> anirudh0, how can I edit or replace the skeleton? some of the default values are wrong, and I don't want to change them for every new makefile
[17:13] <stroyan> mohkohn_: Why not with apt?
[17:14] <bing_> is this server freenode
[17:14] <Rishie> Hello guys. How long should an ubuntu install take?
[17:14] <jeanne> on a different note, highlighting isn't working in pidgin
[17:14] <anirudh0> flybaer, imho a simple "M-x replace-string" is a lot faster and better than disabling the feature altogether
[17:14] <JBB> Bing_:Yes, this is freenode.
[17:14] <bing_> thanks
[17:14] <jeanne> is there a cli paster, anirudh0?
[17:14] <anirudh0> jeanne, sorry..not a pidgin guru :)
[17:15] <mohkohn_> Because I was in the process of removing Firfox 3 not really version and replacing it with Firefox 2 so I could use a plug in
[17:15] <anirudh0> jeanne, you could point lynx to pastebin..never tried it though
[17:15] <astro76> !info pastebinit | jeanne
[17:15] <nubotu> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[17:15] <mohkohn_> I had a power outage ( I am in Cambodia) and my internet dropped out.
[17:15] <Roughneck_cowboy> I need some help to activate my Nvidia, which has already worked on my comp.
[17:15] <astro76> jeanne: yes there's a package called pastebinit
[17:15] <hagabaka> what should I do when /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing?
[17:16] <bing_> ive deleted a folder form somewhere and now half the folders and files in my home are also on the desktop , how do i delete them from desktop without them deleteing from home also
[17:16] <stroyan> mohkohn_: You can get firefox for linux from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>&os=linux&lang=en-US .  But you can get firefox 2 with apt from 'apt-get install firefox-2'
[17:16] <mohkohn_> I can't connect to the internet without firefox. My ISP uses a sort of Wimax VPN
[17:16] <bing_> does that make sense to anyone
[17:16] <Roughneck_cowboy> anyone available to help me my problem seems not to be so hard to solve
[17:16] <mohkohn_> So I am using my Mac partition to get onlint
[17:16] <anirudh0> mohkohn, the mozilla website has a firefox binary..download it to ~/ and run directly from there
[17:16] <the_darkside_986> where in the filesystem is the Debian installation list database? I fear I may have to manually modify it. there is no other hope.
[17:17] <xocite> bing_: That didn't really make sense.
[17:17] <astro76> bing_: not really, if files are are indeed both on your Desktop and in your home, you can delete them independently
[17:17] <mohkohn_> stroyan won't work. I am downloading the binary but prefer the deb.
[17:17] <bing_> ok my home and desktop are the smae thing somehow
[17:17] <Roughneck_cowboy> I'm newb in linux and want some help to activate my graphic card
[17:17] <Kitu> how can know my ubuntu's "version" (drapper, edgy, feisty) ?
[17:17] <bing_> no i cant thats the problem
[17:17] <xocite> bing_: Does the desktop have little arrows on the corner of the icons?
[17:17] <mohkohn_> Debian has direct links where you can download a package
[17:17] <astro76> Kitu: lsb_release -a
[17:18] <Kitu> thx
[17:18] <bing_> if i delete form the desktop they delete from home too
[17:18] <Rishie> I'm new to Ubuntu. This is my first time trying to install, however, i cannot seem to get past step 1. The wizard requests my language pref, and thereafter it remains on that step for a long, long time. I left it overnight, and when i returned it seemed to have crashed
[17:18] <anirudh0> the_darkside_986, and what brings you to that woeful conclusion ?
[17:18] <stroyan> mohkohn_: You can get the .deb from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/
[17:18] <bing_> no they not shortcuts
[17:18] <mohkohn_> Is there a list of all Ubuntu packages that can be searched?
[17:18] <ferronica> how to check transmission port forwarded ?
[17:18] <Kitu> hardy it's hard
[17:18] <JBB> Kitu: Google.
[17:18] <Kitu> :]
[17:18] <xocite> bing_: Then you should be able to delete them
[17:18] <anirudh0> the_darkside_986, not a good idea at all
[17:18] <jeanne> anirudh0: http://pastebin.com/m5659e504
[17:18] <the_darkside_986> anirudh0: i cannot uninstall autogen
[17:18] <xocite> bing_: Drop into a terminal and go to ~/Desktop and "rm" each file you don't need.
[17:18] <astro76> mohkohn_: use System > Admin > Synaptic... there's also packages.ubuntu.com
[17:18] <amenado> mohkohn_-> apt-cache search pkgname
[17:18] <bing_> i can delete them but it sends them to trash and i need the folders
[17:19] <the_darkside_986> autogen seems to have ruined the package management system and it cannot be removed because of some nonsense about its script
[17:19] <ferronica> under Edit-Preferences-testport-port open
[17:19] <Kitu> i don't have the tuto for hardy :(
[17:19] <xocite> bing_: You want to delete the contents of th efolders.  I'm lost.
[17:19] <ferronica> dose it mean port forwarded no problem?
[17:19] <bing_> no i just dont want them on the desktop
[17:20] <bing_> anything i put in home goes on desktop also
[17:20] <bing_> and vice vera
[17:20] <xocite> bing_: Ok, that's starting to make sense now.
[17:20] <astro76> bing_: what did you delete to cause this problem?
[17:20] <xocite> I think you linked ~/Desktop to ~
[17:20] <Rishie> Are there any experts here that i can communicate directly with?
[17:20] <xocite> or vice versa >_>
[17:20] <Rishie> By pm or something?
[17:21] <bing_> the picture of home now has a little desktop pic on the chimney if that helps
[17:21] <Ward1983> here we go again i need to reboot to have sound
[17:21] <xocite> go to /home/<username> and type ls -lh and paste the output in a pastebin
[17:21] <astro76> Rishie: if someone can answer your question they will answer here
[17:21] <anirudh0> jeanne, this is weird..your sources are correct..but you say linux-generic does'nt show up in synaptic..i can only recommend changing all nl.archive.ubu... to aarchive.ubuntu....
[17:21] <Rishie> Ok thanks
[17:21] <mohkohn_> stroyan thanks.
[17:21] <anirudh0> *archive.ubuntu
[17:21] <Starnestommy> Rishie: sounds like a bug in the installer.  You might need to try with the alternate cd
[17:21] <bing_> i created a my documents folder then it started
[17:21] <stroyan> mohkohn_: There is a packages page at  http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/
[17:22] <bing_> so i deleted it and now the 2 places are the same
[17:22] <anirudh0> jeanne, linux-generic depends on the latest stable kernel..so it should handle all kernel updates for you
[17:22] <Darthy> wuzzup
[17:22] <Ward1983> why does my sound not work all of a sudden? i have to reboot to make it work again
[17:22] <Ward1983> WHY WHY WHY
[17:22] <Ward1983> FFS
[17:22] <FloodBot3> Ward1983: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:22] <MartyMoose> restart your sound
[17:22] <jeanne> anirudh0: is synaptic the same as the Add/Remove applications GUI?
[17:22] <MartyMoose> no need to reboot
[17:22] <Jessica_lilly> i have a problem with my network im using a usb apadater which needs the rt73 driver i know ubuntu has it because it works find on the live cd yet when i plug it in on my install system it finds no networks and refuses to connect to any
[17:22] <anirudh0> jeanne, but why do you need the latest kernel anyway..any bugs with the current one?
[17:22] <anirudh0> jeanne, no!
[17:22] <Starnestommy> jeanne: no, it's a lot better
[17:22] <anirudh0> :)
[17:22] <Ward1983> MartyMoose, o have no idea how and im asking here for liek a week
[17:22] <the_darkside_986> how can i manually delete a package without the package manager trying to run its install scripts? i can't find the database anywhere
[17:22] <jeanne> anirudh0: no, I just noticed it wasn't using the latest one
[17:23] <bing_> did you understand what i meant
[17:23] <anirudh0> jeanne, well..have'nt heard yet about something that works in the new one but not in the old one :)...of interest to ordinary users that is
[17:24] <anirudh0> jeanne, try modifying sources.list..update..install linux-generic..upgrade
[17:24] <|Dreams|> anyone got there ps3 running through there pc ?
[17:25] <jeanne> anirudh0: synaptic does list linux-generic, so I guess it's a limitation of the other GUI...
[17:25] <astro76> jeanne: add/remove only shows a limited subset, gui apps only
[17:25] <NetEcho> I'm trying to get my local radio station's web stream playing und3er 8.04 but it doesn't seem to want to play the Windows media stream... any ideas how to fix it?
[17:25] <jeanne> astro76: I see.
[17:26] <jaypro> have you guys been able to install 8.04?  ive downloaded it about 3 or 4 times and it doesnt seem to work
[17:26] <xocite> bing_: To me, it just seems like you linked your home and desktop together.
[17:26] <ggeecko> |Dreams|: I have my xbox running through my pc
[17:26] <Rishie> Jaypro im having the same problem
[17:26] <xocite> bing_: or through some gnome setting, you declared your home as your desktop
[17:26] <soundray> jaypro: works just fine here. Check your downloads with md5sum
[17:26] <|Dreams|> yeah me too just wanted to know which ports the ps3 needed
[17:26] <Rishie> And i have a pressed copy
[17:26] <soundray> !md5 | jaypro
[17:26] <nubotu> jaypro: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[17:26] <anirudh0> jeanne, ahh..good anyway..the other gui does'nt list any libs either..its just there to support those who have switched over from win and need a "add/remove programs" equivalent
[17:26] <bing_> xocite when i ~/Desktop in terminal it says no such directory
[17:26] <johey> Is there any way I can configure a RAID system to use encrypted LVM in an already installed Ubuntu Server 8.04, using the comfortable guide in the installation procedure (or similar)?
[17:26] <jaypro> Rishie oh okay so it's not just me
[17:27] <bing_> how do i fix it
[17:27] <jeanne> Rishie: check the boot options. I had to use generic.all_generic_ide=1 for my old lappie.
[17:27] <stefan____> hi guys
[17:27] <Rishie> Jay, How far do you get
[17:27] <psych> hi
[17:27] <stefan____> i want to participate at the ubuntuproject, which things could i do
[17:27] <psych> i installed lighttpd
[17:27] <psych> and want it non-auto-start, how to set it up ?
[17:27] <bing_> i only installed ubuntu yesterday and its my 1st ever forray into linux
[17:27] <soundray> bing_: try a 'mkdir ~/Desktop' and please keep your problem descriptions on one line
[17:27] <astro76> stefan____: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate
[17:28] <xocite> bing_: then run a "mkdir ~/Desktop" and see what happens.
[17:28] <anirudh0> bing_, congrats!
[17:28] <jeanne> so about nick highlighting in pidgin :) it is kind of essential.
[17:28] <king> how to remove that password asking at startup?
[17:28] <anirudh0> jeanne, i got it to work a while ago..check under preferences
[17:28] <acer_> how to update the apt-get index offline using bz2 archives
[17:29] <anirudh0> king, not recommended..however you can do it under sys>admin?login window>security
[17:29] <bing_> do i just copy that line into terminal?
[17:29] <acer_> pls any one
[17:29] <johey> About encrypted partitions... Many guides tell me to fill my entire disk with psuedorandom number. Is this an important part of the encryption procedure, or just a way to ensure my old data is scratched?
[17:29] <anirudh0> acer_, create a local repo..see a tut on the net for doing that
[17:29] <soundray> bing_: yes, everything except the quote marks
[17:29] <bazhang> acer_, what is the issue
[17:29] <amenado> whose go ubuntu as guest on openvz? how do you set it up for an ssh into the virtual private server?
[17:29] <anirudh0> johey, the second one
[17:30] <xocite> bing_: yes
[17:30] <soundray> king: System-Administration-Login Window -- Security - Autologin
[17:30] <king> thank you
[17:30] <acer_> i have some packages downloaded from /main /restricted something like that
[17:30] <xocite> bing_: Log out and log back in and see if it works, if not, then I believe I have an alternative solution.
[17:30] <johey> anirudh0: Thanks! That means that it is a totally useless step for brand new unused disks?
[17:30] <amenado> johey-> important if your partition only has a portion of random, would clue in to that particular area, while the rest is zero or null
[17:30] <psych> where do I edit what will be auto-start or not?
[17:30] <anirudh0> acer..create a local repo out of them...and please google for more :)
[17:31] <bazhang> psych, in system preferences sessions
[17:31] <soundray> psych: do you mean at boot or at login?
[17:31] <anirudh0> johey, yes..i guess
[17:31] <acer_> i have a dialup connection and not able to update the apt-get index  but i have to download gstreamer plugin
[17:31] <anirudh0> acer_, oh..sorry
[17:31] <anirudh0> acer_, dpkg -i <deb-file>
[17:31] <psych> soundf_, boot
[17:32] <soundf_> ?
[17:32] <soundray> !bum | psych
[17:32] <nubotu> psych: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[17:32] <acer_> anirudh0: i dont have deb file but bz2 archives
[17:32] <king> after windows this ubuntu is quite hard to understand ;P
[17:32] <psych> bum
[17:32] <psych> ok
[17:32] <Kakura> Hey... so I've searched all through the internet for help, and nothing has worked, so I showed up here. I cannot resize my screen resolution larger than 800x600, can anyone help me out with that?
[17:32] <anirudh0> king, too many people say that...but its just different, not hard
[17:32] <amenado> what is required to ssh into ubuntu, even though it says sshd is already running (in the openvz guest ve) ?
[17:32] <psych> soundray, is there any other way w/out bum ?
[17:32] <soundray> psych: did you see what nubotu said?
[17:32] <johey> anirudh0: Ah, so you mean that if someone steals my machine, he would have more trouble finding out where the encrypted data resides if the disk is initially filled with random data?
[17:32] <Starnestommy> amenado: port 22 needs to be open and forwarded to ubuntu
[17:33] <acer_> Kakura: try using ubuntu 7 live cd and copy the xorg.conf to the newly installed system it worked for me
[17:33] <YoG> hi, after the last update my pc can't resume from suspend anymore, can someone here help me please?
[17:34] <anirudh0> johey, i'm no expert in this area..but if the disk is _re_filled with psuedo-random numbers , then the old data is completely wiped out..else some sectors of old data..stuff you dont want others to see..may be left
[17:34] <neonprophet_> anyone know if theres a problem in .04 with refusing to mount any cd/dvd players?
[17:34] <soundray> Kakura: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg'. There's also a factoid:
[17:34] <soundray> !res | Kakura
[17:34] <nubotu> Kakura: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[17:34] <anirudh0> johey, but take this with a pinch of salt..i'm just guessing :)
[17:34] <MartyMoose> or ctrl-alt-backspace
[17:35] <acer_> Kakura: which version of ubuntu has this problem
[17:35] <joshual> hey folks, running ubuntu 8.04, boot time is pretty decent, but gnome startup is not... any thoughts?
[17:35] <johey> anirudh0: I see. :) Anyway. I think I'll skip that part then, as I'm using completely new disks. Thanks!
[17:35] <anirudh0> soundray, finally, the new bot a a resolution related factoid...it was painful to keep repeating the same "dpk-rec.." commands again and again
[17:35] <derspankster> I cannot enable my Nvidia 6600 video card . glx-new and glx both don't give me a screen
[17:36] <soundray> anirudh0: ubottu had it, and ubotu had it, too...
[17:36] <bing_> ok nothing happened, but got to love speed of rebbot
[17:36] <bing_> reboot
[17:36] <anirudh0> soundray, wish i had known it earlier..i kept typing them out everytime :)
[17:36] <soundray> bing_: does the Desktop folder exist in your home now?
[17:36] <king> everything else looks quite nice, but i cant get suond at all
[17:36] <bing_> no
[17:36] <soundray> bing_: did you type 'mkdir ~/Desktop' in the terminal?
[17:37] <bing_> ok i just did it again now its there
[17:37] <jeanne> anirudh0: I can only find sound events but no color highlighting...
[17:37] <neonprophet_> anyone know why the cdrom line in fstab won't read? is it a 8.04 issue?
[17:37] <zeeeee> hi, any way to check from what hosts users are currently logged in (over ssh)?
[17:38] <cebrail_> what'up
[17:38] <anirudh0> zeeeee, pinky
[17:38] <soundray> bing_: log out and log back in to see if the problem is resolved now (whatever it was...)
[17:38] <cebrail_> whats down
[17:38] <astro76> zeeeee: w
[17:38] <soundray> zeeeee: use w or who
[17:38] <joshual> hey folks, running ubuntu 8.04, boot time is pretty decent, but gnome startup is not... any thoughts?
[17:38] <zeeeee> kjalv;!
[17:38] <zeeeee> *thanks
[17:38] <YoG> hi, after the last update my pc can't resume from suspend anymore, can someone here help me pretty please?
[17:39] <Ienorand> Hello, would somebody running Fx3 and Hardy be able to help me with a little speed test? My Firefox seems rather sluggish and I'd like to get a comparative measure.
[17:39] <xocite> So, copy a file into ~/Desktop and see what shows up.
[17:39] <johey> Next question about encrypted disks. Is this a good layer scheme: SATA->3 disks (sda, sdb, sdc)->one partition for each disk (sda1, sdb1, sdc1)->RAID5 of all partitions (md0)->LVM on md0->encryption with dm-crypt
[17:39] <soundray> joshual: have you got a second computer available?
[17:39] <magnetron> johey: you need an unencrypted partition for /boot
[17:40] <johey> magnetron: Oh, I'm not encrypting the system partitions at all. Just a big storage array.
[17:40] <phil67> Problem with Firefox opening by itself after boot
[17:40] <soundray> !pm | Kakura
[17:40] <nubotu> Kakura: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[17:40] <magnetron> johey: are you aware of the risks with an unencrypted swap?
[17:41] <soundray> Kakura: did you run the command I gave you with the -plow option>
[17:41] <soundray> ?
[17:41] <johey> magnetron: Yes. My solution is to not use a swap. :)
[17:41] <Kitu> can i have a good tutorial to install fglrx ?
[17:41] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Those kind of problems are very hardware specific--your best might be to search ubuntuforums.org for your specific hardware and "suspend".
[17:41] <magnetron> johey: nice :D
[17:41] <bing_> ok now i have a copy of the desktop folder on my desktop
[17:41] <Kitu> i have tutorials but not for hardy version
[17:41] <astro76> johey: the way the alt cd sets it up is to put the LVM inside the encrypted partition
[17:42] <xocite> Kitu: Ubuntu still uses fglrx?
[17:42] <Kitu> hum
[17:42] <Ienorand> Kitu: looked at cchtml?
[17:42] <joshual> soundray: no unfortunately not now
[17:42] <anirudh0> johey, good choice..but hibernate does'nt work then
[17:42] <Kitu> sorry i don't understand
[17:42] <johey> astro76: Ok. Is that better than encrypting the LVM partition?
[17:42] <xocite> Kitu: Ah, you're using Hardy.  The ATI driver is now catalyst.
[17:42] <YoG> Steve-Cal: thanx, I did a search, but everything seems to be the way its configured in the forums
[17:42] <joshual> do you folks run anti-virus app with ubuntu?
[17:42] <soundray> joshual: no, it's not necessary
[17:43] <xocite> joshual: clamscan is a good antivirus
[17:43] <johey> anirudh0: It's for my file server. I don't need that.
[17:43] <Steve-Cal> YoG: If you can get /etc/acpi/sleep.sh to work (just run "sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force") then you could use that for suspend--have you tried that script yet?
[17:43] <xocite> joshual: especially if you download mail to your computer
[17:43] <soundray> !virus | joshual
[17:43] <weezil> joshua1: only if it's a mail server.
[17:43] <derspankster> Need help installing and enabling Nvidia 6600
[17:43] <soundray> joshual: have a look at your ~/.xsession-errors to see if anything unusual is logged in there
[17:43] <Kakura> soundray: it just did the keyboard thing again
[17:44] <Gnutoo> hello,what is needed in order to read mp4a?
[17:44] <soundray> Kakura: okay. Did you look at the pages that nubotu pointed out?
[17:44] <xocite> Gnutoo: You mean m4a?
[17:44] <YoG> Steve-Cal: that's what I'm using all the time. But when the computer wakes up it hangs immidiatly, i just see the blinking cursor
[17:44] <Gnutoo> xocite, mpeg4 audio...
[17:44] <YoG> Steve-Cal: It worked until the last update
[17:45] <xocite> Gnutoo: Not sure what the Ubuntu equivalent is, but you'll need to look at your gstreamer plugins
[17:45] <Gnutoo> xocite, it's for ffmpeg...
[17:45] <magnetron> !codec | Gnutoo
[17:45] <soundray> Gnutoo: try 'gnome-open file.m4a' -- it should download the required codecs for you
[17:45] <steven> i want to thank you guys again
[17:45] <magnetron> Gnutoo: oh, for ffmpeg? then you need the medibuntu repository
[17:45] <joshual> soundray: could you have a look? http://paste.ubuntu.com/16012/
[17:45] <steven> you just talk so damn much, its perfect
[17:46] <Gnutoo> magnetron, what program in the medibuntu repo should i install?
[17:46] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Hang on I've got a way you can troubleshoot...
[17:46] <magnetron> Gnutoo: ffmpeg :D
[17:46] <Gnutoo> magnetron, ok thanks
[17:47] <Gnutoo> magnetron, is there a medibuntu for hardy?
[17:47] <phil67> Need help Firefox opens by itself after booting ubuntu gutsy
[17:47] <magnetron> Gnutoo: yes. www.medibuntu.org
[17:47] <johey_> Sorry. I droped my connection. I asked:
[17:47] <YoG> Steve-Cal: I tried the trick with "echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace", but I can't understand dmesg
[17:47] <johey_> Is it necessary for me to use LVM at all on my fileserver, or should I just encrypt the RAID partition, md0 and use it as it is?
[17:47] <Gnutoo> magnetron, ok thanks
[17:47] <soundray> joshual: hmm, lots of stuff in there -- but nothing obvious that it would spend a lot of time on. Is it stilll slow the second time you login?
[17:47] <soundray> !netsplit
[17:48] <bing_> ok there is a folder on my desktop called desktop and i can delete this without it deleting from home
[17:48] <steven> damnit that would have been perfect
[17:48] <bing_> cant sorry
[17:48] <Gnutoo> magnetron, thanks a lot
[17:48] <soundray> joshual: hmm, lots of stuff in there -- but nothing obvious that it would spend a lot of time on. Is it stilll slow the second time you login (after you log out of the first session)?
[17:48] <magnetron> Gnutoo: cheers
[17:48] <joshual> soundray: not sure...
[17:48] <selven_> this bug is supposed to have been fixed, but i am still getting it
[17:48] <selven_> just updated v
[17:48] <selven_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-central/+bug/192992
[17:49] <selven_> but seems the bug is still here
[17:50] <pappi> hi guys! got a problem with an external hard drive. it has 3 partitions, a logical one(fat32 and ext3 in it) and a primary reiserfs one. while i was burning some data from the hard drive, unfortunately the usb cable was unplugged. now i can't use it anyore, as lsusb probes nothing and dmesg does says anything about a connected hard drive. any tips?
[17:50] <legend2440> the_darkside_986: did you resolve autogen problem?
[17:51] <soundray> pappi: does it have its own power supply, or is it USB-powered?
[17:51] <the_darkside_986> legend2440: yeah i deleted some files and it works now
[17:52] <pappi> soundray,  own power supply
[17:52] <pat__> I have am having a problem with chmod; I would like to give rwx for owner and group, and rx for all others. I do  %chmod 775 [directory]
[17:52] <the_darkside_986> i found a codeblocks deb package. codeblocks > anjuta IMO.
[17:52] <soundray> pappi: have you powercycled it before reconnecting?
[17:52] <pappi> soundray, how so i do it?
[17:52] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Ok first add "set -x" to the beginning of that sleep.sh script (but after #!/bin/bash of course), and then login as root ("sudo -i"), and while you are root, run this:
[17:52] <Steve-Cal> /etc/acip/sleep.sh force 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/sleep_output.txt
[17:52] <Steve-Cal> That will create the "sleep_output.txt" file that logs all errors and also shows how far the script gets before hanging.
[17:52] <soundray> pappi: unplug the power supply
[17:53] <legend2440> the_darkside_986: yes code blocks is good one.. i kind of like netbeans also
[17:53] <pappi> done, and plugged it again. nothing happens
[17:53] <Gnutoo> magnetron, it still doesn't work and says unsuported codec
[17:54] <pteague> is there a way to print out a pdf to a graphic file?
[17:54] <soundray> pappi: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and turn the power off and on again. Any errors? Use pastebin if you want me to look at them.
[17:54] <bing_> should the it say home\bing
[17:54] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Oops typo, should be "acpi" not "acip"
[17:54] <bing_> i cant figure this out
[17:54] <anirudh1> pteague, pdf2ppm
[17:54] <DIL> pteague: tiff
[17:54] <anirudh1> pteague, part of latex
[17:54] <magnetron> Gnutoo: did you remember to update your packages?
[17:55] <Gnutoo> magnetron, what packages?
[17:55] <YoG> ok, just a sec.
[17:55] <anirudh1> sorry..pdftoppm not pdf2ppm
[17:55] <razaccour> i got a question
[17:55] <Gnutoo> magnetron, ah ok
[17:55] <bing_> i feel like reinstalling just because i cant delete some folders off desktop
[17:55] <freebox_> LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
[17:55] <razaccour> is there a .deb ndiswrapper file that i can save to a disc and use when installing another os?
[17:56] <alteregod> yeah
[17:56] <soundray> bing_: please describe your entire problem on one line
[17:56] <alteregod> irc on a c64 rocks
[17:56] <Steve-Cal> razaccour: I think ndiswrapper comes with the LiveCD... can you just use that?
[17:56] <soundray> pteague: for a single one, I usually just open the PDF and do a screenshot
[17:56] <Gnutoo> magnetron, now ffmpeg gives me a floating point exception...
[17:57] <anirudh1> bing_, this is'nt windows..small problems can usually be solved without reinstalls ;)
[17:57] <YoG> Steve-Cal: ok, It went to sleep, and hanged when I tried to wake it up. It'll take a couple of minutes until it restarts, I'll tell you the results asap
[17:57] <bing_> lol
[17:57] <razaccour> i'm using ubuntu right now, i'm wanting to use debian and see how that goes and need ndiswrapper to make the wifi work
[17:57] <anirudh1> Gnutoo, wow
[17:57] <razaccour> i don't have internet connection at home and use wifi
[17:57] <anirudh1> Gnutoo, rarely is a bug found in stable ffmpeg
[17:57] <bing_> i think my home and desktop are the same
[17:57] <Steve-Cal> Yog: Good deal, just pastebin the results of that sleep_output.txt file (paste.ubuntu.com).
[17:57] <anirudh1> please help..even my touchpad is giving shocks now
[17:57] <soundray> razaccour: use the ndiswrapper supplied by Debian. The ubuntu one is unlikely to work
[17:57] <phil67> Does anyone know why Ubuntu Gutsy opens Firefox after boot up without clicking on Firefox
[17:58] <pteague> yeah, i did the screenshot, but the image is really fuzzy... was hoping to get better detail in trying to print to a graphic
[17:58] <johey_> Is the netsplit finally over? Then I'll repeat my question:
[17:58] <johey_> Is it necessary for me to use LVM at all on my fileserver, or should I just encrypt the RAID partition, md0 and use it as it is?
[17:58] <razaccour> oh i didn't know it already had it, thanks
[17:58] <pteague> why do people put a graphic in pdf in order to put it on the internet?
[17:58] <drcheezenstein> hey guys
[17:58] <anirudh1> pteague, its easier
[17:58] <soundray> pteague: you can of course print or convert to postscript and import that into the Gimp.
[17:58] <drcheezenstein> I need help with my wireless
[17:58] <DIL> pteague: cant be modified
[17:58] <pappi> soundray, http://pastebin.com/m7ae37aa7
[17:58] <drcheezenstein> it picks up the signal
[17:59] <drcheezenstein> but just wont connect
[17:59] <drcheezenstein> even when im right next to it
[17:59] <ushi-tam> Videos over NFS have no audio (in Totem or VLC), but MP3 over NFS or local sounds work fine?
[17:59] <ifireball> pteague: you're lucky they didn't put it in a *.ppt file
[17:59] <b4l74z4r> how do i turn off DynamicTwinView?
[17:59] <Steve-Cal> soundray: Just curious, but why would the Ubuntu ndiswrapper not be OK? Did I miss something he said?
[17:59] <soundray> pappi: those message do not relate to plugging in an external hard drive
[17:59] <Kituu> :S
[17:59] <razaccour> which dvd iso do i need, 1, 2, or 3?
[17:59] <pappi> i know
[17:59] <razaccour> for debian i mean
[17:59] <Ienoran1> Hello, could somebody help me do a simple speed test with Fx3 in Hardy, I am using some standard links (google *pedia, etc.) and putting them in a bookmarks folder. And then doing an "open all.." on that, this takes me 8 seconds, and Fx becomes very irresponsive, could somebody see if the same thing happens? Links are at: http://nopaste.info/8ff321609a.html
[17:59] <soundray> pappi: why did you paste them, then?
[18:00] <Kituu> when i try to install ati driver downloaded on ati web site, i have this message : X Server: unable to detect
[18:00] <Kituu> what's the problem ?
[18:00] <Kituu> erf
[18:00] <fbc> any noticing no video acceleration with nvidia after this last update?
[18:00] <bing_> when i add i folder to desktop it also gos into my home folder when i add to home it also goes onto desktop i can delete one without the other deleting
[18:00] <soundray> Steve-Cal: generally, you can't assume compatibility between Ubuntu and Debian packages -- especially for things close to the kernel like ndiswrapper
[18:00] <drcheezenstein> yeah
[18:00] <pappi> didn't you told me to plug the hard drive then run tail -f /var/log/syslog ?
[18:01] <kumarphilly> netsplit?
[18:01] <Kitu> when i try to install ati driver downloaded on ati web site, i have this message : X Server: unable to detect, what's the problem ?
[18:01] <soundray> pappi: I did, but I didn't ask you to switch off your own capability of thinking.
[18:01] <Steve-Cal> soundray: I agree--did I miss something though? Is he on Debian and not Ubuntu?
[18:01] <soundray> pappi: what good is it posting messages that don't relate to the event in question?
[18:02] <soundray> Steve-Cal: switching to Debian
[18:02] <LogiTech> how can i see what kind of SOUNDCARD i have??????????????????????
[18:02] <anirudh1> lspci
[18:02] <Leefmc> What is the most popular Ubuntu IRC app? I'm not crazy about Pidgin's take on IRC (though, there might be some plugins to do it for me). I'd prefer scripting of some sort, python if possible, etc. Thoughts?
[18:02] <b4l74z4r> i don't seem to have a proper xorg file so i don't know if appending "DynamicTwinView" "False" would help
[18:02] <anirudh1> !poll
[18:02] <pappi> that's true, but hey, aren't we here to help each other? i'm just scared about loosing 200gb of data, and i need some help
[18:03] <veeturi> hi anirudh1: can u please help me with my broadcom wireless issues.....i couldnt find a suitable driver for the 44xx sseries ..
[18:03] <Steve-Cal> veeturi: Which is your chipset exactly?
[18:03] <YoG> Steve-Cal: It didn't generate the file :-( but I have a partial output, before resuming, I put it in pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com/16015/), and I'll repeat the procedure again
[18:04] <veeturi> steve-cal: how can i describe it ???
[18:04] <veeturi> steve-cal: do u mean the lspci of the Broadcom???
[18:04] <LogiTech> how can i see what soundcard i have with linux ubuntu????
[18:04] <dxh4436> how can i get on root?
[18:04] <soundray> pappi: there are only a handful people in this channel who give as much or more support than I do, so don't teach me about what I'm here for.
[18:04] <soundray> pappi: now back on your issue, you may have wrecked your computer's USB hub. Try another socket.
[18:04] <stroyan> pappi: Maybe it is the computer that is confused rather than the hard drive controller.  You could try rebooting/powercycling the computer to reset the USB hardware.
[18:04] <anirudh1> veeturi, sorry..no idea about wireless
[18:04] <LogiTech> WHAT SOUND CARD I HAVE?? HOW TO KNOW??
[18:04] <Steve-Cal> veeturi: Sure, just the chipset like "BCM4310" or something like that from lspci.
[18:04] <veeturi> anirudh1: its ok man ...thanks for replying
[18:05] <soundray> pappi: I agree with stroyan -- good idea.
[18:05] <anirudh0> LogiTech, lspci
[18:05] <dassouki> i don't know if i'll get killed to ask that question. I use Anjuta exclusively on my linux box, are tehre any similar IDE for Windows ?
[18:05] <jeanne> anirudh0: test please?
[18:05] <pappi> sorry anyway, maybe i offended you as i didn't write properly. anyway, i attached it with another cable in one another pc, and still nothing
[18:05] <anirudh0> jeanne, sorry..i did;nt understand ..test what?
[18:05] <soundray> LogiTech: http://www.break.com/pictures/caps-lock509309.html

[18:07] <veeturi> steve-cal: did u get the thing u required?????
[18:07] <LogiTech> soundray what link you gave me? what for?
[18:07] <stroyan> pappi: Ouch.  The next step would be trying to move the disk mechanism to a different controller.  Another USB controller or a direct PATA or SATA connection.  That is a big step.
[18:07] <joshual> anyone know how to add system management to side pane in USP (ubuntu system panel)?
[18:07] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Ok, my mistake, try running the script and redirecting the output to /home/<your_username>/Desktop/sleep_output.txt (Do you see what I mean?)
[18:07] <anirudh0> soundray, yes..kernel module not reloading after the usb got unplugged..i'm shooting in the dark on this one though...
[18:07] <soundray> pappi: sounds like bad news. Perhaps only the USB part of your drive is broken -- then you might be able to rescue it by removing the hard drive from the case and connecting it internally
[18:07] <jo4> i have a problem with my tmp dir
[18:08] <jo4> it says overflow and the size is 1mb
[18:08] <soundray> anirudh0: pappi has tried the ext HD on another machine, so I'm afraid it's more serious
[18:08] <alteregod> yeah, and put a sata bridge into it
[18:08] <tuxtarekk> hi peeps i get the following error message when i try to install privproxy: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[18:08] <pappi> i'm unmounting it already... now i just need to find a pc witha a sata controller :)
[18:08] <alteregod> today computers have external sado connectors
[18:08] <stroyan> pappi: Or maybe you 'unplugged' it by kicking the cable and that cable is now broken.  That would be a lot easier to try replacing.
[18:08] <Steve-Cal> veeturi: Yes, thanks, have you by chance checked to see if that chipset works with the BCMxx-fwcutter software? I don't know off-hand.
[18:08] <anirudh0> stroyan, lol.."kicking" the cable
[18:08] <soundray> LogiTech: you were using ALL CAPS. That's not the way to behave here. Also, you've had replies to your question -- what was wrong with those?
[18:09] <Kakura> So, that page didn't help at all...
[18:09] <joshual> anyone USP?
[18:09] <jeanne> anirudh0: yes, the plugin-pack, but it isn't working. Anyway dinner
[18:09] <newubuntuuser> how do i get the cube thingy working?
[18:09] <bing_> ive somehow managed to merge home and desktop how do i seperate tham
[18:09] <anirudh0> jeanne, one sec
[18:09] <veeturi> steve-cal: i didnt get what r u talking abt ....like the BCMxx -fwcutter????
[18:09] <b4l74z4r> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16017/ <-- is this how the xorg file is supposed to look like?
[18:09] <ifireball> soundray, pappi : usb problems? did you try to reboot, the USB module on Ubuntu sometimes hangs on slightly broken hardware but can get back to work after a reboot
[18:09] <biopod> Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to make VLC open files in the "other" desktop... any ideas?
[18:09] <sevenseeker> is there a separate room for ubuntu server?
[18:09] <Kakura> soundray: just went through the page, it didn't work
[18:09] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Did you get that or should I give you the full command?
[18:09] <YoG> Steve-Cal: done.
[18:09] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Great, please pastebin the results.
[18:10] <Nattgew> nowubuntuuser it's ctrl+alt+click and drag, or ctrl+shift+click, something like that
[18:10] <pappi> rebooted, nothing happens.
[18:10] <Nattgew> newubuntuuser
[18:10] <anirudh0> jeanne, there's a plugin called "highlight"..another called "irc helper",and yet another called "irc more"...all enabled?
[18:11] <Steve-Cal> veeturi: The fwcutter software (its available in the repositories) can be used for most Broadcom chipsets, but I don't know about yours--you'll need to check at their website (which I don't know off-hand).
[18:11] <Kakura> soundray: the page did not help me

[18:13] <Kakura> soundray: so my resolution is still to small...
[18:14] <anirudh0> ahh..some commands missing from the bot :(
[18:14] <fen_> NTU: do you have the vmlinuz images in your boot partition?
[18:14] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Did you pastebin?
[18:14] <slashdot> it's running at 598mhz and it's a mobile centrino cpu.  i know it supports scaling, how do i get it to work is the problem.
[18:14] <YoG> Steve-Cal: just did: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16018/
[18:14] <soundray> Kakura: what have you tried?
[18:14] <alteregod> sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:14] <Kakura> soundray: everything that I found in google, and the page that was given to me earlier
[18:14] <anirudh0> slashdot, man cpufreq-selector
[18:15] <bing_> soudray yes
[18:15] <soundray> Kakura: you were only away for 15 minutes, so that can't be true
[18:15] <soundray> bing_: I need to give you a big set of instructions, so please be patient while I type it up
[18:15] <krammer_> how can i upgrade to 8.04 without the update manager
[18:15] <cijiuk> Hey peoples! I need help from other opera. When i change my <TAB> in FireFox, TAB allways refresh it self! I'm using FF3.
[18:15] <bing_> ok thamks
[18:16] <tuxtarekk> hi peeps
[18:16] <[KS]`> hello again
[18:16] <[KS]`> quick question, iwl4965: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch
[18:16] <tuxtarekk> can someone help me with the meaning of the following error message?
[18:16] <tuxtarekk> EmJay: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[18:16] <sevenseeker> can anyone direct me to where I can get recommendations for server hardware to run ubuntu server?
[18:16] <Kakura> soundray: I had been done everything on google, and the page given to me, half of it either I ahd al ready done, or wasn't for the stuff I had
[18:16] <[KS]`> solution? I need to note that I do not have a hardware switch since it's all those touch buttons (HP Pavillion HDX9000)
[18:16] <soundray> bing_: Type Alt-F2 and start gconf-editor. In there, go through apps-nautilus-preferences and find the entry called desktop_is_home_dir. Uncheck it if it is checked (I hope it is)
[18:17] <Steve-Cal> YoG: I don't see anything really obvious yet, but it would take a while to get through all that... one question: have you always used "ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=mem" in your xorg.conf? I have to use "ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=standby" to get mine to work.
[18:17] <drcheezenstein> hey guys
[18:17] <fen_> tuxtarekk: it means a script in a debian/ubuntu script encountered an error, look at all the output
[18:17] <krammer_> how can i upgrade to 8.04 without the update manager
[18:17] <Roums> Can superblocks ,on an ext2/ext3 fs, be created again from nearly nothing ?
[18:17] <drcheezenstein> I really need help gtting my wireless card to assciate with my router

[18:18] <b0xxy> i probly dont have an answer for your question
[18:18] <b0xxy> !ask
[18:18] <bing_> i dont have gconf editor
[18:18] <soundray> sevenseeker: I think that's a Ubuntu support question in the wider sense, so tell us what your server needs to do and someone will answer sooner or later
[18:18] <drcheezenstein> oh
[18:19] <soundray> bing_: gconf-editor (note the - )
[18:19] <fen_> tuxtarekk: starting privoxy failed
[18:19] <sevenseeker> soundray: thanks
[18:19] <drcheezenstein> well I have the restriced driver installed and it picks up the signal
[18:19] <bazhang> biopod, what is the issue
[18:19] <YoG> Steve-Cal: 1) you mean acpi-support not xorg.conf right? 2) I don't know, I did alot of tweaking to get it work the last time, but I think that the way it was... anyway, I'll try with standby and see
[18:19] <tuxtarekk> fen_: i know but how can i repair this?
[18:19] <drcheezenstein> but it wont connect
[18:19] <alteregod> start privoxy with sudo
[18:19] <yme> Hi I'm in a little emergency. I've installed something called 8.04 LTS. I fear that may mean light server? Is that correct?
[18:19] <bing_> ahh ok
[18:19] <drcheezenstein> even though im right next to it
[18:19] <sevenseeker> I need a dual proc system, lower end, amd64

[18:20] <abarbaccia> hey - can someone here help me out with making a package quickly
[18:20] <abarbaccia> its the latest v4l-dvb modules - i have a package built but then get some conflicts with modules.symbols
[18:20] <fen_> have a look in /var/log to see if there is a privoxy log file/directory or check /var/log/syslog
[18:20] <Kituu> my installation is recent
[18:20] <drcheezenstein> got any ideas on whats wrong/
[18:20] <alteregod> biopd
[18:20] <[KS]`> No suggestions for iwl4965: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch?
[18:20] <Kituu> today i have installed and nothing to do particulary
[18:20] <alteregod> there is a option in vlc
[18:20] <Ashfire> In top what does the status "D" mean?
[18:20] <bing_> it is unchecked alreay
[18:20] <aegzorz> yme: LTS means Long Time Support
[18:20] <gregbrady> Hey everyone, my laptop started to slow down to a crawl over a period of two hours.  It eventually just froze sold and I hard to power down.  The reboot to over 1 hour and now everything is still crawling.  cpu is at 100% all the time and gnome-system-monitor reports that it is using all of the cpu time.  Any ideas?
[18:20] <steviebuns> arabaccia - I had that problem too
[18:21] <alteregod> i hope the kernel 25 works in the next week
[18:21] <fen_> [KS]`: what happens i missed what you said after the first statement
[18:21] <biopod> alteregod: I'm trying locate such an option, but can't find it no where
[18:21] <soundray> [KS]`: your laptop must have a key or switch for enabling wireless
[18:21] <[KS]`> fen_: iwl4965: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch
[18:21] <yme> aegzorz, the problem is that when I start the system, it appears a sort of command line OS, rather than the nice UI I had before. Is there a way I can install the desktop package from the command line?
[18:21] <Steve-Cal> YoG: My mistake--you're right it's acpi-support :)
[18:21] <fen_> oh thats the message you get?
[18:21] <bing_> soundray: it was unchecked
[18:21] <[KS]`> fen_: I don't have hardware wifi switch, since all buttons I have on my laptop (Pavillion HDX 9000) are those touch buttons
[18:22] <[KS]`> and dmesg says iwl4965: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch
[18:22] <fen_> [KS]`: the touch strip?
[18:22] <sevenseeker> doh, update:  I need a dual amd64, lower end, but that has the virtualization hardware on board (forgot what AMD calls theirs)
[18:22] <aegzorz> yme you could try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[18:22] <fen_> i think i have the same one on my 6710b
[18:22] <[KS]`> fen_: Yeah, HP QuickPlay
[18:23] <qaws> hi, how long will be broken dependencies in this LTS please?
[18:23] <yme> Thanks. I'll try
[18:23] <fen_> does it have a wifi button?
[18:23] <joshual> does anyone use Ubuntu System Panel?
[18:23] <[KS]`> fen_: yes it has, and it always lights orange
[18:23] <sevenseeker> joshual: I do
[18:23] <Paradoxx> How do I find out what kernel versioun is installed?
[18:23] <Roums> Can superblocks (on an ext2/ext3 fs) be created again from a corruted/formated partition ?
[18:23] <yme> aegzorz, it says command not found
[18:23] <[KS]`> paradon: uname -r
[18:23] <DIL> uname -a
[18:23] <fen_> [KS]`: yeah mine always is off, but it still turns my wireless on and off
[18:24] <DIL> sry
[18:24] <joshual> sevenseeker: are there any example config files around?
[18:24] <soundray> bing_: too bad... Would it be terrible to create a new user on your system and use that instead of your current one? It's easily done through System-Administration-Users and Groups. Make sure you give it all privileges.
[18:24] <aegzorz> yme: does startx work?
[18:24] <Steve-Cal> veeturi: You know I think you gave me the wrong card info--that BCM4401 is your ethernet card I believe--how about posting your output of "sudo lshw -C network"?
[18:24] <[KS]`> fen_: is there a way to override it?
[18:24] <YoG> Steve-Cal: well, with "standby" it seems more active when I try to wake it up (the hd led flashed a couple of times), but the screen does not wakeup
[18:24] <fen_> no
[18:24] <yme> aegzorz, in /etc/init.d or just from my home directory?
[18:24] <comicinke1> how can I exclude single pakets permanently from being upgraded? On hardy, libdvdcss2 from videolan.org is working much better than from medibuntu.
[18:24] <fen_> you shouldn't need to
[18:24] <aegzorz> anywhere from command line
[18:24] <yme> k, I'll try
[18:25] <RoAkSoAx> Paradoxx, uname -r
[18:25] <sevenseeker> joshual: well I do not know the internals of that, so wouldn't know the config files if they stood up and smacked me, sorry
[18:25] <fen_> if you press it once from when you get that message and try again what happens?
[18:25] <n8ature> whats the best way to have a script run once automatically the first time ubuntu is booted but then no more?
[18:25] <GizmoChubs> Quick question: Whats that linux command which shows me all the network activity? (Not netstat).. like, which ports are open, and which programs using thos ports, etc.
[18:25] <[KS]`> fen_: I am always getting that error in dmesg
[18:25] <YoG> Steve-Cal: I did the same trick this time as well, so I'll post the output, if it helps...
[18:25] <yme> aegzorz, it says command not found
[18:25] <bing_> ok ill try that thanks
[18:25] <soundray> Kakura: can you put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log on a pastebin for me to see?
[18:25] <joshual> hehe ok thx
[18:25] <DIL> top
[18:25] <aegzorz> yme, ok
[18:25] <Paradoxx> Thank you
[18:26] <soundray> n8ature: call it from /etc/rc.local
[18:26] <fen_> [KS]`: do any of the other functions on the strip work?
[18:26] <Steve-Cal> YoG: OK, you may need to modify some of your video options in that acpi-support file... These are the options I changed to in order to get mine working, you could try changing them: POST_VIDEO=false        SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
[18:26] <n8ature> soundray: thanks.. i guess i could have it delete itself
[18:26] <[KS]`> fen_: no
[18:26] <malloneza> I agree the earth is flat.
[18:26] <aegzorz> try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:26] <malloneza> you used the letter 'a' in that message aegzorz
[18:26] <malloneza> I agree the earth is flat.
[18:27] <yme> aegzorz, thanks. I'll do that
[18:27] <malloneza> you used the letter 'a' in that message yme
[18:27] <malloneza> I agree the earth is flat.
[18:27] <ikonia> malloneza: stop please
[18:27] <malloneza> you used the letter 'a' in that message ikonia
[18:27] <ikonia> !ops | malloneza bot
[18:27] <malloneza> you used the letter 'a' in that message ikonia
[18:27] <fen_> are you dual booting? does it work under windows?
[18:27] <malloneza> you used the letter 'a' in that message fen_
[18:27] <szgal> Does anyone know how I can tell which window decorator is currently loaded?
[18:28] <soundray> n8ature: delete itself?
[18:28] <YoG> Steve-Cal: I think I've got both of them false...
[18:28] <drcheezenstein> can someone help me with my wireless problem
[18:28] <Steve-Cal> YoG: Hmmm... OK and what was the output this time? (pastebin)
[18:28] <[KS]`> fen_: yeah now it's windows xp / ubuntu, but drivers support is realy lousy on xp so I am going to install vista. It is not working on XP.
