[19:04] <goldins> technogen: buy an nvidia card, your life will be better.
 if you know please help me
[19:04] <Yossarianus> i'm very new to ubuntu and i'd like to know a few things. i had two partitions: a small one for xp and a large one for everything else. would it be better to convert the bigger partition to ext3 aswell?
[19:04] <rww> heogen: Okay. Feel free to ask the channel and anyone who wants to help and can help will answer.
[19:04] <technogen> goldins, yeah its a pain in the ass
[19:05] <goldins> Yossarianus: it depends on how much you'll be using windows
[19:05] <poopuser> hi how can  print things in terminal?
 ok
[19:05] <VistaUser> #behold
[19:05] <goldins> Poopuser: pipe them to lpr
[19:05] <Yossarianus> goldins, i plan on getting rid of it completely, as soon as i get compfier with ubuntu :)
[19:05] <heogen> I need the to install a file with extension .sh
[19:05] <poopuser> goldins: thank you
[19:05] <goldins> technogen: gentoo's wiki seems to have some instructions that also don't work.
[19:05] <heogen> anyone know, how to install this file?
[19:05] <heogen> .sh
[19:06] <goldins> heogen: that's a shell script, you don't install it.
[19:06] <technogen> goldins, thanks man i ll keep tryin
[19:06] <rww> ValentineXX: well, if you have a while to spare, I can give you a rundown of how to get aptitude to do autoremoving of unneeded packages for you...
 no
[19:06] <\Kira> how can I boot into the kubuntu live cd without the graphics? I just want a terminal
[19:06] <prasad> >hi
[19:06] <Scunizi> anyone with experience using the 180 beta nvidia driver ? how's your performance and what card are you using it on?
[19:06] <goldins> Technogen: here: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:IchvNDWkCqkJ:en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Dual_Monitors/ATI+http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Dual_Monitors/ATI&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

[19:07] <rww> ValentineXX: Mind if I /msg you? It might be a little long.
[19:07] <ValentineXX> rww: ok thanks
[19:07] <goldins> Yossarianus: you might well be better off converting to ext3.
[19:07] <elraun> can anyone help me uninstall a package that is not needed but is stuck in a broken state?
[19:07] <technogen> goldins, thanks i  ll give it a try
[19:07]  * steph291 is giving personal support to jeremy ...
 ok thank let me do it
[19:07] <Terabyte2> hey, i can't get cron to work i typed crontab -e  and then     06 19 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/alarm     yet dispite the fact that the script exists and works, it isn't executed, is cron disabled by default?
[19:07] <Yossarianus> is there any tool i can use for converting to ext3 without much pain?
[19:07] <goldins> Yossarianus: if you were one of my users I would tell you to convert the XP installation into a VM with vmware converter (free) and convert the whole drive to ext3 and run windows in a VM until you're ready to get rid of it
[19:07] <[c0re]> hey how do i set sound to terminal like movies?
[19:08] <goldins> [c0re]: what do you mean?
[19:08] <goldins> Yossarianus: do you mean to convert the filesystem and keep the files?
[19:08] <Yossarianus> goldins: yes. also, what is a vm? :s
[19:08] <[c0re]> goldins, have you seen hackers movies?
[19:09] <goldins> Yossarianus: that's impossible. a vm is a virtual machine, like emulation mode
[19:09] <steph291> what is the console command to find if 3d acceleration is unable ?
[19:09] <goldins> [c0re]: you mean the really shitty movie from the 90s?
[19:09] <[c0re]> lol goldins no
[19:09] <[c0re]> goldins, something like transformers....
[19:09] <goldins> steph291: glxgears is pretty good
[19:09] <steph291> ok
[19:09] <[c0re]> its 21st century
[19:09] <goldins> [c0re]: nope, is it any good?
[19:09] <goldins> I heard it was kind of shitty
[19:10] <jtravnick> anyone have any problems upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10with a nividia video card?
[19:10] <zachgris> steph291: you could try using "glxinfo | grep rendering", if you see "direct rendering: Yes" then 3d acceleration is available
[19:10] <[c0re]> goldins, yea its a good movie :p... i like the sound when the terminal echo
[19:10] <rinsmaster> this is strange, I burned a video dvd and my dvd player asks for a password (It's a dvd with the VIDEO_TS dir with vob files etc, I downloaded it and the burned dvd works fine on my computer) but it doesnt on my hardware dvd player, which asks for a pass :/
[19:10] <[c0re]> echos*
[19:10] <Terabyte2> hey, i can't get cron to work i typed crontab -e  and then     06 19 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/alarm     yet dispite the fact that the script exists and works, it isn't executed, is cron disabled by default?
[19:10] <Joker_-_> [c0re]: you mean havibng a terminal that speaks what it echoes?
[19:10] <goldins> Yossarianus: the only way to do what you want to do is to copy the files to a different place (like an external drive), then convert the partition, then copy them back
[19:10] <Joker_-_> god, i'd hate that
[19:10] <VistaUser> is there a way to delete this ubuntu thing just asiking
[19:10] <elraun> Terabyte2, try setting it to * * * * * for now.
[19:11] <Terabyte2> ok thanks
[19:11] <goldins> VistaUser: troll.
[19:11] <rami_> hi! i have a big problem: with kernel 2.6.27-9 all audio and video applications are VERY slow, and I don't hear anything. with older kernel versions like 2.6.24-21 the applications ar normally fast, but I still hear NOTHING. Im sure, the hardware is ok.
[19:11] <elraun> Terabyte2, that will run every minute
[19:11] <elraun> (should)
[19:11] <VistaUser> troll?
[19:11] <Yossarianus> goldins: ok. is there a partition manager i can use inside ubuntu?
[19:11] <Joker_-_> !sound > rami_
[19:11] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: I haven't. What problems are you having?
[19:11] <magic_ninja> hey guys
[19:11] <mohammed> hey can anyone explain to me more about terminal server client
[19:11] <mohammed> what exactly is it?
[19:11] <goldins> Yossarianus: parted? I think? maybe gnome-parted or something
[19:12] <Joker_-_> [c0re]: do you actually want the console (terminal) speaking up what it writes?
[19:12] <magic_ninja> upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 and the upgrade failed, any peices of advice on what i should do before i restart?
[19:12] <VistaUser> whats troll?
[19:12] <\Kira> Yossarianus: gparted is the best partition manager I think, sudo apt-get install gparted
[19:12] <Finnish> Is there a powerpoint-viewer in ubuntu, other than OO? I need to view some presentations made with Office 2007
[19:12] <magic_ninja> sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a ?
[19:12] <reverendnathan> Hey, quick and easy one: I have the latest of a package, but apt-get keeps requesting an install. Hence, the apt icon on my desktop won't disappear.   You are also ugly
[19:13] <VistaUser> y am a droll?
[19:13] <rotlas> Hello, how does one enable boot output for the ubuntu installation? Currently I only see the progress bar or black.
[19:13] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, not sure now there an easy way of checking without pulling it?
[19:13] <benbloom> are there known issues with the 02:0b.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) under Intrepid?
[19:13] <VistaUser> lol
[19:13] <Pici> Terabyte2, goldins: This attitude isn't welcome here.
[19:13] <Finnish> goldins: Ok
[19:14] <atilla> guys I need help about b43-wifi after I fetched and extracted firmware everything freezing and after restart wifi led is on but can't find networks
[19:14] <Joker_-_> Pici: thx, I was looking to find any command that makes ubottu say something like: "keep this channel clean" or something...
[19:14] <e\ectro_> How can you exclude local.5 messages (for example) from /var/log/messages?
[19:14] <reverendnathan> Hey, quick and easy one: I have the latest of a package, but apt-get keeps requesting an install. Hence, the apt icon on my desktop won't disappear. What's the command to fix this?
[19:14] <stephen_> .org
[19:14] <Pici> VistaUser: Just install something else over it, or if you used wubi, uninstall it liek you would normally uninstall programs in Windows.
[19:14] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: Try typing this into a console. I think it will tell me what i need:  "lspci" and put the results in pastebin
[19:15] <Joker_-_> tdreyer1: lspci > pastebin ?
[19:15] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: sorry type "lspci" into a console
[19:15] <Yossarianus> okay another silly question: anything like mplayer classic in ubuntu? and what can i do about codecs?
[19:15] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, k hold on i will have to get on chat on the desktop
[19:15] <Terabyte2> elraun that didn't work
[19:15] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: then copy the output to pastebin and tell me the link so I can see it
[19:15] <VistaUser> oo kk i did that before when i tried to reinstall vista and it wouldnt work the recovery discs would go half way through process and stop
[19:16] <tdreyer1> !paste | jtravnick
[19:16] <ubbb> ubuntu is not computable with all windows applications

[19:18] <Joker_-_> ubbb: it's free
[19:18] <Terabyte2> it echo's "arse" and then prompty executes vlc with *.mp3 as a paramater
[19:18] <Terabyte2> elraun ^
[19:18] <Joker_-_> ubbb: by and for users
[19:18] <cmdbbq> ok, i give up, how do i start a new thread on the forums? i have been clicking around for a while now and can't find any obvious way to do it
[19:18] <tdreyer1> Joker_-_: what's that?
[19:18] <chfwiggum> ubbb: no viruses
[19:18] <Joker_-_> tdreyer1: thats lspci then copy it to pastebin
[19:18] <rami_> can somebody help me?
 hi! i have a big problem: with kernel 2.6.27-9 all audio and video applications are VERY slow, and I don't hear anything. with older kernel versions like 2.6.24-21 the applications ar normally fast, but I still hear NOTHING. Im sure, the hardware is ok.
[19:18] <ubbb> ah yea
[19:18] <Joker_-_> tdreyer1: in one command
[19:19] <tdreyer1> Joker_-_: Cool!
[19:19] <elraun> does the user that runs the cron job have exec perms on alarm?
[19:19] <Joker_-_> tdreyer1: try it, it's gonna give you the url straight
[19:19] <goldins> rami_: are you sure the mixers are okay?
[19:19] <Terabyte2> elraun alarm is chmod'd with 777   is that what you mean?
[19:19] <ubbb> Joker: is it worth to update 8.04>8.10?
[19:19] <elraun> Terabyte2, that should do it
[19:19] <Joker_-_> ubbb: if you dont need what the update gives, I wouldnt say it is worth it.
[19:19] <atilla> guys I need help about b43-wifi after I fetched and extracted firmware everything freezing and after restart wifi led is on but can't find networks
[19:19] <goldins> rami_: try turning things up, but be careful, I've blown out a pair of speakers by setting all the mixers up once
[19:19] <ubbb> where can i check what updates are in 8.10
[19:19] <Joker_-_> ubbb: if you are familliar with linux / ubuntu and wanna try it, then it's worth it
[19:20] <ubbb> im a new user
[19:20] <Joker_-_> ubbb: ubuntu's website
[19:20] <ubbb> recently installed it
[19:20] <tdreyer1> Joker_-_: cool, but i had to install pastebinit
[19:20] <tdreyer1> Joker_-_: Thanks!
[19:20] <Joker_-_> tdreyer1: yeah, thats part of the deal ;)
[19:20] <ubbb> JOker: i tired to install 8.10 it didnt work, did 8.04 worked like a charm
[19:20] <dwxreaper> how do i start kde
[19:20] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, ok on the desktop now what was paistbins add again?
[19:20] <ubbb> so i guess ill stick with 8.04 for now
[19:20] <Joker_-_> ubbb: usually, major problems with 8.10 are video card drivers, sound drivers.
[19:20] <Joker_-_> ubbb: you can always install via "safe video mode" or whatever it's called
[19:21] <Terabyte2> elraun i mean is there no way that cron might be disabled, or runing less frequently
[19:21] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: Ok, got a tip from joker_-_. Type this into the console "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"
[19:21] <ubbb> Joker: ah ok, also is it true, the ppl of ubuntu alwasy come up with newver versions every 6 months>
[19:21] <Joker_-_> ubbb: and install updated drivers after
[19:21] <Pici> ubbb: Yes, we do a new release every 6 months.
[19:21] <elraun> Terabyte, not sure. sorry
[19:21] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: then once that is installed, type "lspci | pastebinit" .  it will give you a url. Just paste that url in here for us
[19:21] <ubbb> Pici: tahts so hot
[19:21] <ubbb> WEll thanks
[19:21] <ubbb> :D im a happy camper
[19:22] <rww> tdreyer1: huh. that's really cool
[19:22] <elraun> Terabyte, if you can run crontab, then i assume it is running and should check every minute to see if there are any jobs waiting
[19:22] <ubbb> im glad i turned completely from windows xp to ubuntu good choose for me me
[19:22] <Terabyte> :(
[19:22] <aat28> hey guys if i have amd64 system can i install 32 bit or i have to install 64
[19:22] <rww> aat28: you can install either
[19:22] <aat28> which one is better for security ?
[19:22] <Pici> aat28: It doesnt matter.
[19:22] <rww> aat28: they're the same, security-wise
[19:22] <aat28> installing 32 bit is just to run all applications
[19:23] <aat28> in 64 there is some not available
[19:23] <cygoku_>  When I double click on an game executable (ie: Doom3, Teeworlds and other) it launches the game just fine, but when I try to launch it with using the Main Menu applet, it either crashes or gfx are garbage, why ?!?!
[19:23] <aat28> like chat flash application is not available with 64 bit version
[19:23] <rww> aat28: you can run 32-bit applications in Ubuntu 64-bit, it's just sometimes more complicated. All Ubuntu repository apps are both 32-bit and 64-bit anyway,. though.
[19:23] <aat28> well i can't run chats
[19:23] <rww> aat28: if you have a specific reason to run 32-bit, run 32-bit
[19:23] <aat28> in firefox tho
[19:24] <brian____> hey all
[19:24] <Pici> rww: Not all. Some proprietary packages are not available on 64 bit arches.
[19:24] <Yossarianus> yeah but you don't get skype for x64
[19:24] <aat28> well i cant run flash player application on chat web pages
[19:24] <aat28> useing 64 bit
[19:24] <santor> .part
[19:24] <brian____> i dont know why but i cant seem to install mozilla flash on this computer
[19:24] <rami_> goldins: Thanks, i'Ve got it!
[19:24] <littlewookie> hi, anyone knows a simple voice recognition library?
[19:24] <Joker_-_> atilla: mainly, if you have less than 4gb of ram, you dont really NEED 64bits. I woudl still run a 64bits os on a 64bits cpu even if I havent had 4gb of ram tho, but thats just me ;)
[19:24] <brian____> ive done it a million times on identical hardware, but for some reason it never works
[19:24] <Joker_-_> aat28: mainly, if you have less than 4gb of ram, you dont really NEED 64bits. I woudl still run a 64bits os on a 64bits cpu even if I havent had 4gb of ram tho, but thats just me ;)
[19:24] <Joker_-_> sry fo rthe repeat...
[19:24] <brian____> ive tried adept, the .deb for ubintu, and the tar.gz manual install
[19:24] <Thisdude> hey how do i check if i got the following packages installed libSDL 1.2, libSDL_image, Open-Al or open-AL soft
[19:24] <VistaUser> is there a partition manager in ubuntu?
[19:24] <rww> Pici, Yossarianus, aat28: Okay, I amend that. You can run everything in the Ubuntu repos except for proprietary software maybe on 64-bit. I don't use non-free stuff, so I forgot.
[19:25] <rww> VistaUser: gparted
[19:25] <russe11> Anyone know how I can make sudo NOT ask for a password (ever)?
[19:25] <rww> !gparted | VistaUser
[19:25] <VistaUser> ty

[19:25] <aat28> i have 1 gb
[19:25] <rww> aat28: then get the 32-bit version
[19:25] <bmunger> i just did a dist-upgrade on my ubuntu 8.10 server box and now it just sits at Starting up... and I tried the previous kernel with same results.. recovery mode also doesn't work.. any idea what could be wrong?
[19:25] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, getting Couldn't find package pastebinit

[19:28] <Joker_-_> ubbb: there is also an updated  /modified version called torrentflux-bart, but it's kinda "unsupported"
[19:28] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: if, in your main menu, you go to system>administration>software sources, you can see if it is enabled under the "ubuntu software" tab
[19:28] <Thisdude>  hey how do i check if i got the following packages installed libSDL 1.2, libSDL_image, Open-Al or open-AL soft

[19:31] <Joker_-_> zanberdo: to be notified tho, I dont know.
[19:31] <zanberdo> Joker_-_: yes, that I'm aware.  I was wondering if there was a way to force notification when the user logs on...
[19:31] <russe11> rww, You seem to understand this - do you know how I would modify that to allow the user in question to run only certain commands?

[19:32] <rww> russe11: username ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/command1, /path/to/command2
[19:32] <Scunizi> abhishek198: not sure why you installed xampp from sources outside the ubuntu repositories.  It's not needed.. uninstall and then go to System/Admin/Synaptic.. choose Edit/Mark Packages by Task and choose LAMP.  This will install php, apache2, mysql.  Apache will be avialable for projects in /var/www
[19:32] <technogen> means thanks
[19:32] <rww> russe11: double-check that, though
[19:32] <technogen> :)
[19:32] <Myrtti> technogen: no probs :-)
[19:32] <russe11> rww: Thanks a bunch, I'll check it out.
[19:32] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/78926/
[19:33] <Joker_-_> zanberdo: maube something like: "remote connection warning message" or "ssh connection message to root" or "login warning root"
[19:33] <Joker_-_> zanberdo: something like that?
[19:33] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: Ok. looks like you have a GeForce FX 5500
[19:33] <abhishek198> :Pici .. private message
[19:33] <rww> russe11: you definitely want to put those commands in using visudo, rather than editing /etc/sudoers directly, btw
[19:33] <abhishek198> Pici ..
[19:33] <zanberdo> Joker_-_: I'll give it a whirl
[19:34] <russe11> rww: Yeah, I'll be careful not to mess up my box in the process
[19:34] <jtravnick> yea soon as i pasted it i saw that and remembered that was what xp showed when i installed that on my other harddrive
[19:34] <Thisdude> Joker_-_: er yah how would i do that lol
[19:34] <rww> russe11: the great thing about visudo is that it checks that any changes you make are valid before saving them :)
[19:34] <hwilde> what is all this postfix queue bounced stuff scrolling my syslog ??
[19:35] <frenz> italia
[19:35] <adub> has anyone setup a vnc server in linux
[19:35] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: One sec while I see what I can find
[19:35] <frenz> c'è qualcuno che parla in italiano
[19:35] <steph291> can someone unban jeremy please
[19:35] <Joker_-_> Thisdude: apt-get install packagename
[19:35] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, k
[19:36] <steph291> ?
[19:36] <Joker_-_> Thisdude: you can pass more than one package to the command as in: apt-get install package1 package2 package3 ...
[19:36] <Slart> steph291: perhaps try asking in #ubuntu-ops might work better
[19:36] <elraun> is it possible that the driver for my cardbus wifi card was removed during the upgrade between 8.04 and 8.10?
[19:36] <steph291> jeremy is a happy customer : ))) i setup his desktop cube
[19:37] <Thisdude> thanks
[19:37] <|Crash|> has anyone here installed ubuntu ppc on a g4 xserve?
[19:37] <kks> who invented ubuntu?
[19:37] <zanberdo> Joker_-_: I've come up with something that looks promissing on: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/252601/easy-way-in-linux-to-log-and-be-alerted-when-someone-sshs-into-my-machine.  He's suggesting a .bashrc script that notifies when that particular user logs in.  I guess my next step is to figure out how to send a message to all tty's when the user logs in so that if I'm in the system I will be notified when the other logs
[19:37] <zanberdo> in...
[19:37] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: Try enabling the intrepid-proposed updated, then reload your package list. See if that helps.
[19:37] <Scunizi> Pici: Synaptic has a nice "by package" install feature for LAMP.  Is that a meta package and can it be used from the command line.
[19:38] <Slart> kks: I don't know if you can say someone "invented" ubuntu.. canonical is the company behind it though
[19:38] <Slart> !canonical | kks
[19:38] <steph291> so.... about MY problem, it's pretty simple... I want "xset -dpms" so it's execute every boot
[19:38] <Joker_-_> zanberdo: or maybe simply e-mail yourself a message?
[19:38] <abhishek198> Pici : PM
[19:38] <Dabbu> i have installed kubuntu desktop in ubuntu but open office is beaving strangly any hekp ??
[19:39] <dtcrshr> hi folks
[19:39] <F-3000> Heya! I got problem with setting up dhcp3-server. Syslog says "No subnet declaration for eth1 (<IP_ADDRESS>)."
[19:39] <cygoku_>  When I double click on an game executable (ie: Doom3, Teeworlds and other) it launches the game just fine, but when I try to launch it with using the Main Menu applet, it either crashes or gfx are garbage, why ?!?!
[19:40] <zanberdo> Joker_-_: I'm not sure that would be as effective.  The scenario is that there are a few people here in my office who might log into a particular server.  If I'm in it and they log in (or vice versa) I've like instant notification.  Since is cli-only I'm thinking something that spawns a message to a particular tty (or all I suppose).
[19:40] <dtcrshr> iv installed ubuntu on several cpters for my friends. all of them im gettin an odd issue with the adsl pppoe internet connection. When i just fresh installed, i go to the gui network configuration utiliti, set the pppoe and all works fine. After i reboot the pcs, all of then dont get internet access, only if i go to the terminal and use pppoeconf, and keep going "pon dsl-provider" when the connection drops
[19:40] <Joker_-_> cygoku_: not that we dont wanna help you out, but I don't know anything bout that...
[19:40] <Slart> zanberdo: take a look at "wall".. perhaps you can make it do what you want
[19:40] <dtcrshr> iv installed ubuntustudio (hardy 8.04), ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, all of them same issue. Different cpters,
[19:41] <cygoku_> :(
[19:41] <Joker_-_> zanberdo: guess you're on a good path then... Should be relatively simple.
[19:41] <zanberdo> Slart: thanks for the suggestion
[19:41] <zanberdo> Joker_-_: yeah, I'm heading in the right direction... :)
[19:41] <hwilde> dtcrshr, don't you hvea a router that can do the ppoe for you

[19:42] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, i dont show a intrepid proposed just a hardy proposed
[19:42] <Dabbu> i have installed kubuntu desktop in ubuntu but open office is beaving strangly any hekp ??
[19:42] <rww> Dabbu: elaborate on "strangly", please
[19:43] <Thisdude> joker, i get this message; E: Couldn't find package libSDL_image
[19:43] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: ok.
[19:43] <Slart> Dabbu: try explaining a little bit more than "it's behaving strangly".. noone can answer that kind of question
[19:43] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: it looks like stinger30au has posted a link to some beta drivers for your card. See here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970237
[19:43] <luca__> salve
[19:43] <luca__> come funziona?
[19:43] <Joker_-_> Thisdude: means the package doesnt exists? search with apt-cache search libsdl and try to find the package you are looking for
[19:44] <Slart> !it | luca__
[19:44] <ubbb> hey how can i tell if my computer is 64 bit or 32 bit?
[19:44] <Slart> ubbb: uname -a
[19:44] <jtravnick> tdreyer1, ok thanks i will look into that its not a big deal though as hardy does work great for me
[19:44] <rww> ubbb: uname -a to find out if Ubuntu is 32 bit or 64 bit, which is what I assume you mean.
[19:44] <Slart> ubbb: or wait.. you mean if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit processor?
[19:44] <ubbb> yea
[19:44] <Myrtti> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[19:45] <Slart> ubbb: ^^ what he said =)
[19:45] <Myrtti> Slart: *cough*
[19:45] <tdreyer1> jtravnick: ok. Good luck!
[19:45] <kks> who's the public image behind it then?
[19:45] <kks> i want to send him/her a box of burnt ubuntu images to say thanks
[19:45] <kks> nice, its the only version of linux that i find useful
[19:45] <Thomas_Zahreddin> hi, to access the filesystem on my PDA / mobile,  i installed snyce-gnomevfs - but it seems not to work - any hints for me?
[19:46] <pgib> Grrr JAVA runs so crappy on new versions of Ubunut
[19:46] <hwilde> pgib, no, it doesn't...
[19:46] <russe11> rww: Just so you know, the line "bob ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nmap" did exactly what I needed - allow user bob to execute only nmap as root. Thanks for your help!
[19:46] <hwilde> !attitude | pgib
[19:46] <steph291> in #ubuntu-ops, no one responding :(
[19:46] <Slart> Myrtti: catching a cold? or.. you're not a "he"? or.. I can't come up with anything else =)
[19:46] <dude> how do i unlock my files on live cd mode so that i can copy them
[19:46] <rww> russe11: excellent! Glad I could help :D
[19:46] <dude> it said i need permission
[19:46] <Myrtti> steph291: hold on
[19:46] <macjason0607> guys .. what is a very popular wm besides gnome and kde ?
[19:46] <Myrtti> Slart: got the last guess right
[19:46] <hwilde> macjason0607, icewm works for me
[19:46] <Slart> macjason0607: xfce
[19:47] <rww> macjason0607: very popular? xfce. There's a whole ton of not-very popular ones, though....
[19:47] <Slart> Myrtti: my apologies.. will try to get it right the next time
[19:47] <Joker_-_> macjason0607: i more vote for xfce here
[19:47] <Joker_-_> i == 1
[19:48] <pgib> hwilde: are you sure about that?
[19:48] <Slart> macjason0607: you can try xubuntu, it uses xfce instead of gnome/kde
[19:48] <Myrtti> Slart: I thought you knew ;-)
[19:48] <TTilus> macjason0607: you mean desktop environment?
[19:48] <macjason0607> umm.. i just did a apt-cache search xfce and there is so much to install
[19:48] <macjason0607> TTilus, yes
[19:48] <pgib> I read that the version of xserver that is used has a known issue with Java
[19:48] <Joker_-_> macjason0607: lol of course, it's a whole graphical environment
[19:48] <racingweirdo> how can i a user un ignore?
[19:48] <racingweirdo> witch xchat
[19:48] <pgib> it required changing options in xorg.conf (to change the options to XAA)
[19:48] <macjason0607> Joker_-_, i can't just install it via the gui ?
[19:48] <Joker_-_> macjason0607: of course not, it's a "gui" as you call it
[19:48] <steph291> xserver also have an issue with analog joystick
[19:49] <TTilus> id guess xfce would be pretty popular
[19:49] <PiercedWolf> o mierda creo que he perdido a mi novia
[19:49] <hwilde> !who | pgib
[19:49] <pgib> which, while it makes java run acceptably, it slows the system down as a whole.  I was just wondering if anyone knew when the new xorg will hit the repositories
[19:49] <Joker_-_> macjason0607: you can alway sinatll it via an other gui, but you'll have to restart at some point
[19:49] <hwilde> !es | PiercedWolf
[19:49] <pgib> hwilde: I'm not speaking to anyone in specific
[19:49] <racingweirdo> ik thit a ignore to a person but its the wrong person
[19:49] <PiercedWolf> hwilde, wrong tab sorry
[19:49] <Joker_-_> macjason0607: I'd suggest to do that in console mode. in fact I wouldnt sugget doing that unless you know what you are doing
[19:49] <TTilus> macjason0607: try *-desktop packages, they should put up the basic set
[19:50] <racingweirdo> can anybody help me?
[19:50] <rww> macjason0607: just install xubuntu-desktop, it'll pull in most of xfce's stuff.
[19:50] <hwilde> macjason0607, installing icewm is really easy.  just goto synaptic and search icewm.  then install. then hit ctrl+alt+backspace to logout.  then in the sessions menu pick icewm
[19:50] <luigi_> !it
[19:50] <Slart> racingweirdo: isn't there some kind of help function?  try writing /help ... or check the man page?
[19:50] <Joker_-_> macjason0607: you know that there are distributions of ubuntu already packed with other graphical environment, Xubuntu in that case...
[19:50] <Slart> !xubuntu
[19:50] <racingweirdo> klootzak
[19:51] <steph291> !ubottu xset

[19:56] <hwilde> dude, open a terminal type  sudo  cp  /wherever/source /disk/vista/destination
[19:56] <hwilde> dude if you want to preserve permissions and stuff,  cp -apR

[19:56] <hwilde> stefannn_, but hit m
[19:56] <Joker_-_>  Aperculum I'd say it is... sevrer edition might be okay but graphical gnome and all... 500mhz... nah, thats being masochist
[19:56] <hwilde> Aperculum, dsl
[19:56] <Joker_-_> stefannn_: check for muted channels or something?
[19:57] <hwilde> Aperculum, dsl = http://damnsmalllinux.org/

[20:06] <Giraffe> hey, i haven't been able to connect to any encrypted wireless networks since the release of 8.10--i'm stuck using the broadcom driver since there is apparently no ndiswrapper-source package that even exists for 8.10.  is there ANYTHING i can do to fix this problem?
[20:06] <Joker_-_> adub: but I simply use tightvnc
[20:06] <Joker_-_> adub: and the one that comes with ubuntu
[20:06] <adub> i am trying to find out the best one that will allow me to connect to my linux box from my windows box and my connect look normal and not just give me a stupid command prompt thats worth if i wanted that i would just use ssh
[20:07] <xbb> i was trying to install gos, but get this error: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.  when I execute sudo apt-key add gos_repo_key.asc. What am I doing wrong?
[20:07] <wiebersk> anyone know a good guide to set up ubuntu with bootcamp?
[20:07] <adub> i need to use the server on the linux box and the crap to look normal when i connect from windows to the linux box
[20:07] <Joker_-_> adub: ubuntu comes with an integrated vnc server, and from windows I use tightvnc
[20:07] <adub> oh
[20:07] <Giraffe> does nobody know what to do here?
[20:07] <adub> what is the integreted vnc server
[20:07] <adub> is it gui or command line
[20:08] <adub> and what is the name of the app
[20:08] <ValentineXX> whois rww
[20:08] <nnull> anyone know how to watch live flash streams (such as justintv) in vlc or such? instead of firefox?
[20:08] <Joker_-_> adub: you have to be logged in as a user, in X, before you can connect to it with tightvnc tho.
[20:08] <adub> yes im logged in
[20:08] <Joker_-_> adub: it's gui, as if you where in front of the computer
[20:08] <rww> ValentineXX: I'm me!
[20:08] <[c0re]> hey anyone know how do i forward my port? i am using edge internet connection which has no router or whatever
[20:08] <adub> i am in front of computer
[20:08] <Joker_-_> adub: in fact, if you where in front of your computer, you'd see the mouse mooving and all
[20:08] <rww> ValentineXX: you probably want to put a / in front of that
[20:08] <adub> right i know
[20:08] <rothchild> I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid but I just installed intrepid from scratch on another box and it's got a neat new menu bar, how do I get that menubar on my system?
[20:08] <adub> what is the anme of the application
[20:08] <ValentineXX> rww: not working with / and without
[20:08] <Joker_-_> adub: dunno for sure, it's in ubuntu's menu or confgiuration somewhere
[20:09] <ValentineXX> rww: me at xchat
[20:09] <Giraffe> [c0re], i don't think you can forward a port without having a router with which to forward it...
[20:09] <Joker_-_> adub: ask around someone should know
[20:09] <Joker_-_> !vnc
[20:09] <Giraffe> !broadcom
[20:09] <rww> ValentineXX: do /whois rww, then look in the server tab. The output shows up there, not in the current window.
[20:09] <ValentineXX> rww: oh yes thanks :D
[20:09] <rww> ValentineXX: the only useful thing it's gonna tell you is my realname, though :P
[20:09] <[c0re]> Giraffe,  what about upnp?
[20:10] <Joker_-_> adub: freeNX is way better tho, as suggested by ubottu.
[20:10] <rww> anyway, lunch time for me. bye everyone :)
[20:10] <Giraffe> awesome, that broadcom link didn't help at all
[20:10] <gianmarco_> hi to all!
[20:10] <ValentineXX> thanks rww robert
[20:10] <Joker_-_> adub: but it requires you to have it installe don windows aswell
[20:10] <rww> ValentineXX: You're welcome :)

[20:28] <gnutron> biouser: try killing the nginx process manually, the try removal again.  Anybody here have any experience whatsoever with wireless controllers/mice in ubuntu?
[20:30] <gnutron> GodfatherofEire: the best I can do is lead you here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/
[20:31] <GodfatherofEire> Thanks gnutron, but its not a wireless network
[20:31] <GodfatherofEire> Its a wireless gaming controller
[20:31] <JC_Denton_> if I print using the pdf printer where does it end up? trying to print using firefox but once it's done using the pdf printer the dialog dissapears
[20:32] <gnutron> GodfatherofEire: Im sorry, misunderstood, try googling :)
[20:32] <GodfatherofEire> Alright, thanks anyway gnutron
[20:33] <__BSD__> what's a good free FTP server that has a decent GUI?
[20:33] <wiebersk> filezilla
[20:33] <__BSD__> for server?
[20:33] <Melik> guys is there any way i can disable the GDM login window? i just want to login command based ;/
[20:33] <__BSD__> i thought that was just a client?
[20:33] <stefg> !info proftp | __BSD__
[20:34] <goshawk> hi, can someone please have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300972 ?
[20:34] <__BSD__> stefg: does proftp server have a GUI?
[20:34] <DIFH-iceroot> __BSD__: sorry but for what you need a gui?
[20:35] <Pici> !ftpd | __BSD__
[20:35] <__BSD__> thanks Pici
[20:35] <stefg> __BSD__: this is oooolllld but still useful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[20:35] <Xintruder> hey guys
[20:35] <__BSD__> ok ty
[20:35] <mker> __BSD__, I was looking for the same thing but in the end I settled for openssh-server. Piece of cake to set it up and it's more secure than FTP (everything's encrypted)
[20:35] <gnutron> Melik: BUM boot-up manager may allow that, /etc/inittab was the old way but doesn't exist in ubuntu.
[20:35] <mker> __BSD__, Just a tip
[20:35] <Xintruder> Do I have to be an IT nerd to use ubuntu? Or can a normal user use it happily ever after?
[20:36] <wcdl> how can i backup my xorg file
[20:36] <shane_> Xintruder, the buntu line is a relativley simple OS,it has lots of help and wikidocs
[20:36] <gnutron> wcdl: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[20:36] <gasto> hwilde,
[20:37] <gasto> sudo /sbin/route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> eth0
[20:37] <gasto> did not work
[20:37] <mker> Xintruder, Don't worry, it's easy. The biggest problem is that some hardware doesn't have free drivers, that can be annoying. And the lack of games is a problem for some (there are games, just not as many). Apart from that I can't really say there are any.
[20:37] <stefg> mker: i would agree... but if you don't have a fast cpu, you transfer speed is getting limited by the encryption. on my oldish pIII/800 ssh fs gives me 5 MB/s while simple ftp gives me 11 MB/s
[20:37] <gasto> No such process
[20:37] <__BSD__> mker: yea i have openssh but im needing something with an easy GUI for the peopel that connect to it (they are windows users) lol but thanks :)
[20:38] <mker> __BSD__, Well the server doesn't need a GUI for that. They can use for example Filezilla as client to connect to your openssh server.
[20:38] <wcdl> thanks <gnutron>
[20:38] <robacarp> now that upstart has replaced sysvinit, how do I drop to single user mode?
[20:38] <GodfatherofEire> Well, I have a usb device, should be mounting, but its not, any ideas?
[20:38] <__BSD__> ah ok i didnt think filezilla could connect to ssh servers i thought it was just an FTP client
[20:38] <mker> stefg, Oh thanks, that would be good to have in mind when recommending it. I didn't even think about it.
[20:38] <ericvw> !ntp
[20:39] <Giraffe> hey, i haven't been able to connect to any encrypted wireless networks since the release of 8.10--i'm stuck using the broadcom driver since there is apparently no ndiswrapper-source package that even exists for 8.10.  is there ANYTHING i can do to fix this problem?
[20:39] <mker> __BSD__, yeah, filezilla handles sftp. in fact I think *most* ftp clients out there can handle sftp.
[20:39] <Xintruder> Will ubuntu run flash, you tube, hd movies on my laptop with no problems?
[20:39] <wcdl> is anyone knows how to access vista shares via samba
[20:40] <DIFH-iceroot> Xintruder: depends on your laptop
[20:40] <wcdl> i tried everything
[20:40] <stefg> Xintruder: if you have at least 512 MB and 1,2 GHz then yes
[20:40] <shane_> Xintruder, yes itl do everything that all the other systems do,just way better
[20:40] <mker> Xintruder, Flash is available for Ubuntu, if you can already watch hd movies on Windows you'll be able to do the same on Ubuntu
[20:40] <DIFH-iceroot> stefg: works fine with 630mhz
[20:41] <stefg> DIFH-iceroot: .... but not fullscrenn, huih ?
[20:41] <mker> DIFH-iceroot, x264 HD movies? I doubt it
[20:41] <DIFH-iceroot> mker: youtube, as he said
[20:41] <Dextorion> if you messed up an installation of mysql-server-5.0, is there a way to restore it? config files in /etc/mysql for example..
[20:41] <DIFH-iceroot> stefg: youtube fullscreen of course
[20:41] <mrpocketz> hey guys. I just got 8.10 on my Aspire1, and Under Hardware Manager the Atheros drivers are there, but when I click on Network Manager, Wireless doesn't shot up
[20:41] <wcdl>  is anyone knows how to access vista shares via samba
[20:41] <mker> DIFH-iceroot, Ah sorry, I thought you were talking about hd
[20:41] <gnutron> GodfatherofEire: apt-cache search automount  may have something, like gnome-volume-manager
[20:41] <Giraffe> mrpocketz, don't bother
[20:41] <Giraffe> nobody's owning up to the problem
[20:41] <GodfatherofEire> Thanks gnutron
[20:42] <mrpocketz> Giraffe, this is common?
[20:42] <mker> Giraffe, I think I had the same problem earlier
[20:42] <gnutron> GodfatherofEire: im on hardy, your mileage may vary :)
[20:42] <Ax-Ax> 8.10 sucks :(
[20:42] <Xintruder> is kbuntu only different than ubuntu by interface graphics?
[20:42] <paul68> I want to delete my windows partition and put my ubuntu from the 2nd partition to the first how can I make a backup in such a way that I run it and all the programs and settings are available just like I have them now
[20:42] <biouser> gnutron, there is no nginx process and it still won't uninstall
[20:42] <Giraffe> oh, awesome, it would appear that ubuntu simply stopped letting sound work for no reason
[20:42] <sweet_dreams> Can anyone tell me what floc is?
[20:42] <macjason0607> guys i just messed up a xfce session .. how do i remove the session and start over ? i tried uninstall and it still there
[20:42] <stefg> DIFH-iceroot: ok... nice to know. but your graphics card is doing some work, too. on a lappie or embedded graphics chipset you'll need arounf 1 GHZ for *smooth* action
[20:43] <sweet_dreams> What is its advantages over firefox if there is any
[20:43] <mker> Xintruder, Yep, I don't think it's a good idea of them to call it a different name. It's all Ubuntu, only Kubuntu uses KDE and Gnome is the default desktop environment
[20:43] <biouser> E: nginx: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[20:43] <Dextorion> How do i reinstall mysql, so it rewrites the config files to original state?
[20:43] <DIFH-iceroot> stefg: eeepc, 630mhz celeron, intel onboard card
[20:44] <Xintruder> I remember there was a problem with nvidia driver causing crashes, and nvidia never released a fix. I had this problem with compiz over a year ago. Do any of you guys if this problem ever got resolved?
[20:44] <Joker_-_> mker: they should add FUbuntu = full install - kde, xfce, gnome and maybe a a few smaller like ice or black
[20:44] <stefg> DIFH-iceroot: i wont take 800x480 as 'fullscreen' :-)
[20:44] <DIFH-iceroot> stefg: the videos dont have a much higher resolution
[20:45] <mker> Xintruder, I don't know about that but my friend who recently installed Ubuntu on his laptop with Nvidia graphics installed the latest drivers manually and he couldn't be happier. Hasn't had a problem.
[20:45] <Deiselton> guys... im looking for a good decompiler for ubuntu... know of one?
[20:45] <stefg> i know...  but you usually want them zoomed by 2 on a regtular screen
[20:45] <djungelkraem> http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/5834/alttabikonerka8.png - white square in the right lower corner of the alt+tab window (should be the icon of the program there - in this case firefox-icon). Anyone knows how to fix this?
[20:45] <gnutron> biouser: i'm not familiar with it, but if it doesnt load on boot, it probaly does no harm.
[20:45] <Joker_-_> Xintruder: I've eard about bugs, but never seen one. I use an nvidia card on my desktop and it works fine, except for th einstall part.
[20:45] <ericvw> what happened to the ntp settings in the date/time preferences?
[20:46] <Xintruder> einstall?
[20:46] <mrpocketz> anyone use Multiple displays with more than two monitors in Ubuntu?
[20:46] <Giraffe> good god, ubuntu intrepid has to be the worst OS i've had to deal with yet
[20:46] <Joker_-_> Xintruder: had to install in safe mode, the drivers packed in the install are broke or something.
[20:46] <Xintruder> Does compiz still exist for ubuntu, or did it get discontinued like beryl? Sorry for lots of questions i am quite outdated
[20:46] <Joker_-_> Xintruder: once it's installed you just install the updated drivers and everything is fine
[20:46] <Xintruder> Joker_-_, ok thanks
[20:46] <Joker_-_> Xintruder: compiz-fusion
[20:46] <ConstantineXVI> Xintruder: compiz is what beryl was merged into
[20:47] <Joker_-_> Xintruder: thats the fusion between beryl and compiz
[20:47] <Xintruder> do we still apt-get compiz-fusion ?
[20:47] <mker> Xintruder, questions is what this is for. Beryl became part of Compiz.
[20:47] <rww> Giraffe: Do you have specific problems with it? If so, ask them instead of complaining. If you don't, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic or somewhere that allows trolling.
[20:47] <mker> Xintruder, should be installed by default
[20:47] <ConstantineXVI> Xintruder: no', it'
[20:47] <ConstantineXVI> s stock
[20:47] <ishiX1939> NewEgg has the EeePC 1000 on sale for $399
[20:47] <Dextorion> is there a way to restore a config file, like /etc/mysql/my.cnf, to its original state?
[20:48] <Giraffe> rww, i have asked, with no response
[20:48] <stefg> Dextorion: apt-get remove --purge <package>, apt-get install <package>
[20:48] <mker> Giraffe, I disagree, it works perfect on my hardware. But I understand that it's frustrating when you have hardware that does not have free drivers, I had the same problem with my last computer and it was just unusable. Can't help you but I feel your pain and put the blame on the manufacturers of your hardware because it's probably their fault.
[20:48] <ConstantineXVI> Can I set a script to run depending on what WAP I'm connected to?
[20:49] <Deiselton> Does anyone know of a decent Decomiler for ubuntu?... ive tried REC and didnt really like it
[20:49] <Sk8r_> Dextorion: use dpkg -reconfigure
[20:49] <Xintruder> I have ubuntu burned in my cd, I want kde. which is simpler and less problems, burning a kbuntu cd, or installing ubuntu and doing other stuff later .. ?
[20:49] <Giraffe> my wireless worked in 8.04, and now it doesn't (i can't connect to encrypted networks).  nobody has had any sort of fix available thus far, and when i tried to install ndiswrapper-source it turned out it doesn't exist in the repository
[20:49] <gnutron> mrpocketz: this site might help you. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[20:49] <Dextorion> stefg, it doesnt restore the files in /etc/mysql/
[20:49] <Giraffe> mker, 8.04 worked just fine for my hardware
[20:49] <hasan> hi
[20:50] <mker> Giraffe, oh sorry then, I missed your earlier messages where you might have said that.
[20:50] <hasan> i have question
[20:50] <Giraffe> in addition to the problems with wireless, alsa has simply stopped working.  OSS works just fine, but alsa...not so much
[20:50] <mrpocketz> gnutron, just going to install 8.04
[20:50] <chris__> hey just wondering how i can uninstall kubuntu and install gnome?
[20:51] <Giraffe> mker, it's not necessarily the fault of the people in the channel--i've had a hell of a night (thank you greyhound buses) and this is just icing on the cake really :P
[20:51] <mattbd> Can anyone suggest a fix for a problem I'm having in Intrepid with my sound?
[20:51] <mattbd> It's very harsh and distorted
[20:51] <mker> Giraffe, If I were you I'd start a thread in the forums. IRC is good when you need a quick answer but for anything complicated I''ve found the forums to be much better.
[20:52] <Giraffe> mker, as have i, but the forums have the problem in 10+ page threads all over the place.  all of them have the common theme of lots of users complaining amongst themselves with somebody offering a token fix or two and ultimately nothing being resolved
[20:52] <chris__> hey just wondering how i can uninstall kubuntu and install gnome?
[20:52] <Xintruder> anyone?
[20:52] <gnutron> mattbd: a good reference to start with found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[20:53] <mattbd> gnutron: cheers, will check it out
[20:53] <mker> Giraffe, Paid support? Last option?
[20:53] <Dextorion> Sk8r_, when i do dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-50, it says its broken or not fully installed..
[20:54] <robacarp> how do I boot my hardy box into single user mode?
[20:54] <BoomShaka> hi. can someone else try load http://grails.org using FF3?
[20:54] <Giraffe> mker, it's not really worth the money...i'm proficient enough in other distros and 8.04 to work within them if necessary
[20:54] <BoomShaka> it seems to be crashing something
[20:54] <gnutron> Dextorion: open synaptic and use fix broken packages option may help.
[20:54] <BoomShaka> or at least makes my machine pretty unresponsive and greys out all my windows
[20:54] <ardchoille> BoomShaka: Nice and fast here
[20:54] <mker> BoomShaka, It works here
[20:54] <BoomShaka> ardantus: what v FF?
[20:54] <robacarp> BoomShaka: it works fine
[20:54] <BoomShaka> ver of ff?
[20:54] <Dextorion> Sk8r_ and when i do apt-get install -f, it says /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf: no such file or dir..
[20:55] <Dextorion> gnutron, its a server.
[20:55] <mker> ardantus, whichever version ir default in 8.10
[20:55] <Xintruder> my laptop is intel centrino, is that amd64 arch or the other one?
[20:55] <ardchoille> BoomShaka: ff 3.0.4
[20:55] <robacarp> BoomShaka: 3.04
[20:55] <tdreyer1> robacarp: When you reboot, you will have an option ( given by GRUB ) to boot into a rescue mode. This is what you want. You may have to press escape when it prompts you while it is booting
[20:55] <__BSD__> mker: thanks again for that sftp advice, worked beautifully :)
[20:55] <robacarp> tdreyer1: right...and I added 'single' to the end of the kernel line and still got a normal login prompt
[20:56] <gnutron> Dextorion: search mysql in synapic install/reinstall pertinent packages is the best I can advise you.
[20:56] <rww> Xintruder: depends on which centrino processor it is. do you have more information about it?
[20:56] <hasan> ubuntu or fedora or suse or mandriva
[20:56] <bdelin88> Any reason why my cdrom drives (yes both drives) copy files from cd's EXTREMELY slow? ~2mb/s with a normal file copy, or 500kb/s when I Brasero to make a .cue/.bin format of the cd
[20:56] <mker> __BSD__, Just make sure to lock it down so they can't use shell and they're locked to a folder and so on, send a private message if you want me to help you
[20:56] <gnutron> Dextorion: synaptic rather, sorry.
[20:56] <Dextorion> gnutron, it doesnt have synaptic, its a server.

[20:56] <Xintruder> duo t9300
[20:57] <robacarp> tdreyer1: is that different than what I should be doing?
[20:57] <Esaj> what's a way to truncate a large file, e.g. 4GB to a smaller size e.g. 2GB?
[20:57] <bdelin88> any1 know?
[20:57] <adrenaline> does anybody know how to have ubuntu not show kernel updates?
[20:57] <__BSD__> mker: ok, yea its just a local net, the ports arent even forwarded in my router
[20:57] <Sk8r_> Dextorion: if it's currently installed reconfigure it, if not then make the file it wants and leave it blank
[20:57] <mker> hasan, depends on who you ask
[20:57] <relik77080> hi could someone help me with moblock and mobloquer? I edit the sources.list and installed through Synaptic but everytime i use sysnaptic i get moblock related error messages
[20:57] <gnutron> Dextorion: apt-cache search mysql-server or mysql then check with dpkg -s package name
[20:57] <Xintruder> rww, duo t9300
[20:57] <tdreyer1> robacarp: you shouldn't have to edit anything. There should be a few choices there by default. one will say something like "ubuntu 8.04, kernel blah blah-generic" and another "ubuntu 8.04, kernel blah blah-generic (recovery mode)".
[20:57] <bdelin88> Any reason why my cdrom drives (yes both drives) copy files from cd's EXTREMELY slow? ~2mb/s with a normal file copy, or 500kb/s when I Brasero to make a .cue/.bin format of the cd -  Running Intrepid Ibex
[20:57] <rww> adrenaline: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction%20to%20Holding%20Packages
[20:57] <Sk8r_> Dextorion: then reconfigure it when it's installed
[20:57] <rww> adrenaline: do that on linux-image
[20:57] <Xintruder> hasan, bu 3arab mal windows mb mal linux
[20:58] <mker> __BSD__, ok, if you trust them to go everywhere in your computer :)
[20:58] <tdreyer1> robacarp: try the one that says "recovery mode"
[20:58] <robacarp> tdreyer1: ooh....thanks
[20:58] <relik77080> is this the wrong place to ask for help on moblock?
[20:58] <Sk8r_> relik77080: yes
[20:58] <adrenaline> cool thanks rww
[20:58] <relik77080> Sk8r_:  where is the right place?
[20:58] <relik77080> theres no moblock channel?
[20:58] <bdelin88> Any reason why my cdrom drives (yes both drives) copy files from cd's EXTREMELY slow? ~2mb/s with a normal file copy, or 500kb/s when I Brasero to make a .cue/.bin format of the cd -  Running Intrepid Ibex anyone experiencing the same issues? :)
[20:59] <rww> Xintruder: I believe that the Centrino T9300 is a Core 2 Duo processor under a different name, and Core 2 supports 64-bit, so yes, that should support Ubuntu 64-bit.
[20:59] <sudobash> can I configure a wlan0 device the same way an eth0 device in /etc/network/interfaces ???
[20:59] <bobbob1016> I used scalpel to figure out which drive I had formatted data on.  They both seem to have data on them, but I could be reading the output wrong.

[21:01] <levidos> please, help:   when i plug into my notebook my external speakers, the internal ones won't mute...
[21:01] <bobbob1016> !patience | levidos
[21:01] <adrenaline> According to the website it says to lock version but it is all greyed out rww
[21:01] <rww> adrenaline: oh, I made a mistake anyway. You'd want to lock the linux-image package you're using (so e.g. linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic for me)
[21:01] <adrenaline> rww, also linux images is not checked
[21:02] <bdelin88> lol sorry ubottu :)
[21:02] <mker> levidos, I know a friend of mine had that problem with his laptop, don't know how he solved it but I'm pretty sure he found the solution in the forum. Search there and you might find
[21:02] <rww> adrenaline: the "lock version" option is greyed out?
[21:02] <adrenaline> rww yes
[21:02] <rww> adrenaline: that's odd. Try the Apt/Dpkg way on the site instead, then
[21:02] <gnutron> Dextorion: man apt-get shows the fix broken packages syntax iirc.
[21:02] <Dextorion> Sk8r_, alrighty.. some.. kind of progress. created the file it wanted. ran apt-get install --reinstall mysql.. Worked as far as i had to give it a root password for mysql. It tries to start mysqld, and fails. dpkg: Error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--configure)
[21:02] <levidos> i'm searching... thanks :)
[21:02] <adrenaline> Wait rww  I figured it out you rock
[21:03] <Dextorion> gnutron, thank you.
[21:03] <rww> adrenaline: :)
[21:03] <Aperculum> does 64-bit java work on 64-bit firefox at all on 8.10?
[21:03] <adrenaline> So now rww it won't show me updates?
[21:03] <U-dontu> hey. How do I change my HD to boot from 2.6.27-8-eeepc insted of 2.6.27-8-eeepc lean ? Its 8.10 on Eee pc
[21:03] <bdelin88> Any reason why my cdrom drives (yes both drives) copy files from cd's EXTREMELY slow? ~2mb/s with a normal file copy, or 500kb/s when I Brasero to make a .cue/.bin format of the cd -  Running Intrepid Ibex
[21:03] <levidos> is kmix for kubuntu only? how do i start that?
[21:03] <zykes-> anyone seen something like "dpkg: error processing openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us (--remove):" before ? Tried with purge as well without any luck
[21:03] <thomas_> hi
[21:03] <Smegzor1> I have edited /etc/modules.  How do I reload modules without rebooting?
[21:04] <florian_> irc.voila.fr
[21:04] <rww> adrenaline: pretty sure it won't. The "Lock Version" option tells apt never to update that package, and I'd assume that update-manager is smart enough to notice that
[21:04] <Coggz> Im having a problem with gtkpod. On ubuntu 8.10 it freezes for ~10secs every time i click something... please help
[21:04] <scriptx> intrepid definitely has better power management
[21:04] <bobbob1016> bdelin88, Don't ask your question so often.  If people know the answer they will say, repeating it makes them want to help less.
[21:04] <scriptx> but still cutting short
[21:04] <rww> adrenaline: you might also want to do the same with linux-image-generic if you have it installed. Ditto linux-image. That'll make doubly-sure.
[21:04] <oskar-> U-dontu:  what is "2.6.27-8-eeepc lean"?
[21:04] <scriptx> my battery lasts about 30 mins :/
[21:04] <bdelin88> thanks bob, but this seems like a very simple thing...
[21:05] <adrenaline> Cool did you lock yours?
[21:05] <bdelin88> either everyone has shitty file copying from CD's or it's just me, and I would just like some input is all...
[21:05] <adrenaline> and did you see the update this weekend?
[21:05] <bobbob1016> bdelin88, Yes, but if someone knew, they'd say.  Probably you, since my speeds are fine.
[21:05] <U-dontu> oskar: its 2.6.27-8-eeepc lean or most likey 2.6.27-8-eeepc recovery. It boots from recovery insted of 2.6.27-8-eeepc
[21:05] <rww> adrenaline: nope, mine are unlocked. I just know how to do it
[21:05] <Coggz> bdelin88: what is your problem? I wasn't here when you asked
[21:05] <bdelin88> coggz, i am just going to copy paste: Any reason why my cdrom drives (yes both drives) copy files from cd's EXTREMELY slow? ~2mb/s with a normal file copy, or 500kb/s when I Brasero to make a .cue/.bin format of the cd -  Running Intrepid Ibex
[21:06] <rww> adrenaline: I don't have any problematic hardware (possibly because it all uses free drivers), so I don't need to lock my kernel to a working version
[21:06] <oskar-> bdelin88:  look in the output of "dmesg", if there appear errors regarding the cd
[21:06] <Coggz> bdelin88: was it like that before Ibex?
[21:06] <adrenaline> rww I don't either just a work lappy and don't want any probs to arrive
[21:06] <bdelin88> i haven't used ubuntu since gutsy really...
[21:06] <adrenaline> It is all working good now.
[21:06] <Duh_Ubuntu[a]> ubuntu 8.10 dont display interfaces in manual configuration of network?!
[21:06] <bdelin88> this time i am trying to make it my main os so i couldn't really tell u
[21:07] <bdelin88> let me run that command real quick
[21:07] <oskar-> U-dontu:  do you use the grub boot loader and simply want to change the default selection??
[21:07] <drinkymilk> I'm having trouble with sound again, any help out there?
[21:07] <oskar-> U-dontu:  sorry, one ? too much ;)
[21:07] <adrenaline> Thanks again rww
[21:07] <rww> adrenaline: You're welcome :)
[21:08] <zykes-> http://pastebin.ca/1272669 < anyone ?
[21:08] <kilowhis> guys whats the command in terminal to look up a domains dns info
[21:08] <U-dontu> oskar: yes I want to change the default, so I dont need to fix it everytime I boot :)
[21:08] <ryushe> kilowhis: whois?
[21:08] <bdelin88> hey coggs u still there
[21:08] <kilowhis> oh
[21:08] <validom_> hi! Does someone have an idea how to chat on a console (bash) with other logged-in users? I did this 10 years ago last time and forgot how to dow this ;)
[21:08] <rww> kilowhis: whois, dig, some other commands... depends on what info you want
[21:08] <kilowhis> i see thanks
[21:08] <gnutron> drinkymilk: for references try here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[21:08] <bdelin88> i sent u a separate im
[21:08] <rww> validom_: you mean talk?
[21:09] <kilowhis> :)
[21:09] <rww> validom_: as in, the command talk?
[21:09] <validom_> rww: ah yeah :)
[21:09] <drinkymilk> ok
[21:09] <rww> validom_: there's a package "talk" that has it. Try that :)
[21:09] <oskar-> U-dontu:  then edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst with you favorite editor (sudo in front) and look for a line "default x". simply changing that should suffice
[21:09] <validom_> already install rww :)
[21:09] <dekkong> Hello how much free File System space is recommended?
[21:10] <validom_> thanks a lot, that's it for now ... oh, just forgot: i love ubuntu, thx all!
[21:10] <gasto> OK, I am going to ask it in other words, perhaps now you find your way to help an Ubuntu newbie. I am having issues with the network, I don't know if Ubuntu is detecting the adapter or not. Is eth0 the default adapter, hence my sis900 network adapter is seen, or must I do something to view my fkcing network adapter
[21:10] <rww> validom_: You're welcome :)
[21:10] <U-dontu> oskar: Thanks Ill try that :)
[21:10] <gasto> it is useless to follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25557 if I can't now if it is the actual adapter I am using
[21:10] <ryushe> gasto: eth0 is the first adapter, eth1 the second etc etc
[21:10] <oskar-> U-dontu:  make a backup, and beware of errors. the file is critically for booting
[21:11] <Coggz> Im having a problem with gtkpod. On ubuntu 8.10 it freezes for ~10secs every time i click something... please help
[21:11] <rww> gasto: Yes, eth0 only appears if it detects an ethernet adapter. Please don't curse in here, btw.
[21:11] <bojtel> hello every1, is someone who can help me with conf twinview ?
[21:12] <santor> i recently switched to xmonad from gnome and am having trouble with a few login scripts, i had them setup in gnome from somewhere or other but they stoped work, where should i write a bash script to start these things
[21:12] <ryushe> bojtel: if it's 8.04/8.10, and you're using an nvidia card, just open the nvidia settings app undr system -> administration and activate the second screen (that should be seen at that point)
[21:12] <Omar87> How do I install .bin files?
[21:13] <archangelpetro> why does flash on firefox screw up on a regular basis? just going white, and not working?
[21:13] <dekkong> Hello how much free File System space is recommended?
[21:13] <ryushe> Omar87: sh <nameofbinfile>.bin last time I checked (could be wrong)
[21:13] <oskar-> Omar87:  depends on the inner format. what do you expect it to be and what does "file <file.bin>" say?
[21:13] <rww> archangelpetro: because flash is closed-source non-free software so we can't fix it ourselves, and Adobe doesn't really care about fixing bugs with it.
[21:13] <thechef> I want my laptop to suspend to RAM when logged out, not only when logged in. How can I achieve that?
[21:14] <gnutron> Omar87: try chmod u+x  filename.bin then ./filename.bin
[21:14] <Gm4n> ubuntu just finished installing on a G4 cube with the 7.10 alternate install CD for powerpc. It gets partly through the ubuntu progress bar on boot, then dumps me into busybox. Any suggestions?
[21:14] <ryushe> archangelpetro: if you feel adventurous, by all means please install the latest beta flash player and tell us how it works for you. :)
[21:14] <thechef> I mean I want my laptop to suspend to Ram when logged out and laptop lid is closed and not only when logged in and laptop lid is closed. How can I achieve that?
[21:14] <Scunizi> archangelpetro: just make sure that you only have one flash player installed at a time.

[21:17] <ryushe> gasto: rephrase the question otherwise
[21:17] <__BSD__> yea no ones getting paid here
[21:17] <gasto> well, I get no answers, people asking about GTK and bllsht get their answers, but people with Live CD problems getting things done, like installing drivers form internet, can't, because you are bussy helping the people with minor problems
[21:17] <gasto> I have a network issue, and you don't seem to care
[21:17] <gasto> fck off
[21:17] <oskar-> lol, ok

[21:25] <rww> pi_: passwd -d username to remove the password. If you're just looking to get the login manager to log you in automatically, System > Administration > Login Window > Security > Enable Automatic Login
[21:25] <bojtel> ryushe: sorry didnt see that
[21:25] <djiezes> ReL1K: that's either a wrong link or the server is down
[21:26] <pi_> thanks rww
[21:26] <ryushe> bojtel: np, sounds like that wouldn't work anyways based on what you just said. If not, the other way to fix it is to edit the xorg.conf config file by hand and insert the resolutions by hand into the config file for the second monitor
[21:27] <lordchavez> i got a GeForce 7600GT PCI-E and I get a Blackscreen after installing NVIDIA drivers all the time... i fixed this issue recently with my Notebook AGP nvidia card... but i dont with the 7600GT PCIE
[21:27] <bojtel> ryushe: yes i've tried that but I was only able to change the panning resolution , witch made it bigger but in a small resolution
[21:28] <ryushe> lordchavez: did you recently upgrade from a AGP card in that machine?
[21:28] <lordchavez> ryushe: no its a complete new installation of 8.10
[21:28] <djiezes> lordchavez: i'm afraid i can't help you, but i can confirm that the geforce 7600 works fine with the nvidia drivers, i use the same card right now
[21:28] <ikhider> Please do not ask without asking
[21:28] <Jack_Sparrow> lordchavez I have 7600 pci-e here but I dont bother with the ones from NV.  I lost almost 100 fps using those
[21:28] <drinkymilk> lordchaves: nvidia usually has some tutorials for linux users, try their web site
[21:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ikhider May I have a word in PM please
[21:29] <joshritger> how can I lock certain Icons on my desktop where they are so they don't move when I do clean up by name?
[21:29] <djiezes> lordchavez: you installed them via the 'hardware restricted drivers' applet ?
[21:29] <lordchavez> screen stays black afterwards... the nvidia-glx-new is the correct one?
[21:29] <lordchavez> djiezes: yeah
[21:29] <lordchavez> but after installing i always get the black screen
[21:29] <ikhider> Far too cluttered and complicated.
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> lordchavez the drivers may be right but just not detecting your monitor correctly.
[21:29] <djiezes> lordchavez: weird, the same card works fine here.

[21:34] <rww> quentusrex: different packages are under different licenses. Most of ubuntu is under GPL or BSD
[21:34] <robacarp2> djiezes: yea, none of that worked....I even logged out
[21:34] <rblst> if i print a PDF file in 8.04, i get an enlarged/scrambled output, this only goes for PDF, i didn't have this before
[21:34] <robacarp2> gnutron: thanks, that worked
[21:34] <drinkymilk> #oss
[21:34] <Bizzie>  :D
[21:34] <robacarp2> gnutron: wow that was ugly
[21:34] <lvlefisto> i must have chosen the wrong option when i ran the update
[21:35] <lvlefisto> does anyone know how to solve this? i want to add the new kernel image to the menu.lst
[21:35] <temppy> lvlefisto: I think you can reinstall the kernel.  [q]  is this your only OS install?
[21:36] <lvlefisto> temppy: ubuntu is the only OS i have
[21:36] <gnutron> robacarp2: binaries are only meant to be read by the machine
[21:36] <lvlefisto> i tried reinstalling using synaptic
[21:36] <lvlefisto> but it didn't ask me again for the option to update de menu.lst
[21:36] <temppy> lvlefisto: well, if you only have 1 ubuntu installed, you should just reinstall the kernel.  It should update the menu.lst
[21:36] <robacarp2> gnutron: yea...I had assumed that it was a text file...oops
[21:37] <djiezes> lvlefisto: you could look into your /boot direcotry, see if the right kernel is present, & add it manually in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file (copy the previous entry & edit the kernel version nr.)
[21:37] <gnutron> robacarp2: it happens to us all. or most anyway.
[21:37] <thvdburgt> Hi, I have to use pppoeconf to connect to the internet. I'm using nm .7 now and noticed the DSL-tab and tinkered around with it but I didn't succeed. Is nm .7 capable of replacing pppoeconf or do I still have to use it?
[21:37] <robacarp2> gnutron: hopefully I'll remember that command so next time I don't have to come whining to the irc :-)
[21:38] <lvlefisto> djiezes: the kernel is present in the /boot dir
[21:38] <lvlefisto> djiezes: i'll try that, thanks
[21:38] <gnutron> robacarp2: typing reset works too, even when its not echoing the typing properly.
[21:38] <djiezes> lvlefisto: np, good luck, for safety, keep your present entry
[21:38] <rblst> if i print a PDF file in 8.04, i get an enlarged/scrambled output, this only goes for PDF, i didn't have this before
[21:39] <robacarp2> gnutron: thats what I used to get it back.  I thought `clear` would work
[21:39] <gnutron> rblst: just print to your printer
[21:39] <rblst> gnutron: that's what i'm doing
[21:39] <oskar-> rblst:  is this with all pdf files or just one?
[21:40] <rblst> pskar-: all
[21:40] <rblst> oskar-: all of them
[21:41] <gnutron> rblst: try http://localhost:631  that should give you the CUPS administration for setting up the printer properly.
[21:41] <bojtel> ryushe: do you know what I should write in xorg file?
[21:41] <ryushe> bojtel: post your xorg.conf to pastebin orso, let me have a look at it
[21:42] <oskar-> rblst:  i would have suggested the same, try to set up the printer again... i must leave now
[21:42] <rblst> ryushe: and what exactly do i have to set there, this printer used to work fine, i don't know what has changed
[21:42] <rblst> oskar-: thanks, i'll try
[21:43] <ryushe> rblst: ? wrong person? :)
[21:43] <harveyd> anyone got suggestions on a good terminal / shell?
[21:43] <test34> The bluez-audio package is obsolete but what should I use in it's place?
[21:44] <ebroder> I filed a bug with backports a week and a half ago or so. I'm not complaining - I realize it hasn't been that long, but should I be poking someone somewhere or something to get it moving?
[21:44] <harveyd> ive been using tilda, but recently will only work when ran as root
[21:44] <rblst> ryushe: sorry, i don't get you
[21:44] <ryushe> rblst:   [15:42] rblst: ryushe: and what exactly do i have to set there, this printer used to work fine, i don't know what has changed
[21:45] <bojtel> ryushe: sorry I am new to this.. how do I do that ?
[21:45] <gnutron> harveyd: gnome-terminal or konsole in KDE. bash is the preferred shell.
[21:45] <dr_willis> harveyd,  depends on wht fetures you are looking for.. I use 'terminator' :) its not in the offical repos
[21:45] <ryushe> !pastebin | bojtel
[21:45] <test34> or where can I find that information ?
[21:45] <DavidCanarias> hi
[21:45] <goldmetal> hello, i just upgrade kernel, how to tell grub to use it?
[21:46] <DavidCanarias> Has anyone used Linux Mint? I am thinking about changing, but would like to hear some comments first please? Any offers?
[21:46] <rblst> ryushe: do you mean that i'm the wrong one?
[21:46] <ryushe> bojtel: use the above info and paste your current xorg.conf there, then post the URL here
[21:46] <q2dm3> selam
[21:46] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: yeah, I tried it, looked nice, that was it. Didn't see any reason to switch tbh
[21:46] <goldmetal> !kernel
[21:46] <djiezes> DavidCanarias: I used 4.0, liked it very much, but am back on ubuntu now.
[21:46] <rwwIsAFK> !mintsupport | DavidCanarias
[21:47] <rwwIsAFK> test34: bluez-alsa maybe? See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bluez&searchon=names&suite=intrepid&section=all
[21:47]  * rwwIsAFK actually goes afk
[21:47] <U-dontu> does compiz run on Eee pc 900?
[21:47] <profanephobia> kgrubeditor keeps crashing on me, heres the error report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78997/
[21:47] <goldmetal> !grub
[21:47] <DavidCanarias> Thanks everyone, not exciting news though!
[21:48] <dr_willis> U-dontu,  i hear it can.
[21:48] <ryushe> U-dontu: probably pretty slow I would think
[21:48] <djiezes> DavidCanarias: just try it out, i think they have a live-cd
[21:48] <DavidCanarias> rwwlsAFK:   Sorry !mintsupport what did you mean by this as I didnt understand sorry
[21:48] <DavidCanarias> djiezes: Think I will do that.
[21:48] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: if it's only for the look that you're interested in Mint, don't bother at all I would say. you can get the same eye candy in regular Ubuntu
[21:49] <bojtel> ryushe: ok here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78998/
[21:49] <dr_willis> You can make normal ubuntu look just like mint. if you wanted.. the 'extra' mint tools.. are handy at times.. but nothing that spectactular.
[21:49] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: It's not the look really, I want something that works properly and my Ubuntu is playing sillies!!! Perhaps I should delete Ubuntu and reinstall from a CD?
[21:49] <ryushe> bojtel: looking now
[21:50] <bojtel> ryushe: if you fix my problem I'll buy u a new car !
[21:50] <profanephobia> Sorry i gave the wrong error report. This is what the terminal outputs when i try to start kgrubeditor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79000/
[21:50] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: try a live CD for mint 5 and Ubuntu 8.10 and see which one works better for you
[21:51] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: I have just updated to Ubuntu 8.10 last night and had hoped it would rectify some problems, but it hasn't made any difference.
[21:51] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: what kind of issues are you having ?
[21:51] <ryushe> (just curious)
[21:51] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[21:52] <FatherCarbon> i have a question, guys.. i'm trying to install kubuntu 8.10 64bit using the alternate installer from a USB drive. The drive boots and as expected, the installer cannot find the cdrom drive. This is where the problem lies: I've tried manually mounting the usb drive to /cdrom, and then after continuing the installer it says 'could not read file from cdrom' -- it's the debconf preconfig file
[21:52] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: They are stupidities that make life annoying. Like Java not working properly, amsn not working properly and a bit slow sometimes. When I switch to my other user number it is quicker to run and amsn works perfectly!!! I don't understand why?
[21:52] <lvlefisto> djiezes: thanks, it worked!
[21:52] <nite_johnboy> When booting - I see a " Red * " in left column - Can't read it before it comes to desktop login screen - Is there a way to find out what this is not loading/starting correctly ? ?
[21:53] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: tried removing any stored preferences for amsn from your users home dir?
[21:53] <djiezes> lvlefisto: happy to hear ;)
[21:53] <ryushe> bojtel: what's the brand and type of your second monitor?
[21:53] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: I don't know how to do it? :-(
[21:53] <nite_johnboy> !bootup
[21:53] <bojtel> ryushe : its a samsung 42" plasm
[21:54] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: open a terminal and do "ls -la | grep amsn" and see if that returns anything
[21:54] <profanephobia> kgrubeditor keeps crashing when I try to start it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79000/
[21:54] <pi_> im so noob icna't even start compiz...
[21:54] <gnutron> nite_johnboy: in a terminal type dmesg |less  look for errors.
[21:54] <ryushe> bojtel: trying to make a media center eh? :)
[21:54] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Will do! I will let you know what happens
[21:55] <nite_johnboy> gnutron: Thanks will do....
[21:55] <djiezes> profanephobia: maybe try #kde or #kubuntu (?)
[21:55] <solexious> How can I send an EOF though a console with my keyboard?
[21:55] <thvdburgt> Is there an easy way to translate pppoeconf settings to NetworkManager? I for instance don't know what to fill in at 'Service'
[21:55] <bojtel> ryushe : nah just want to use it as an extended display
[21:55] <ryushe> bojtel: any info on the exact type?
[21:55] <DavidCanarias> ryushie: This what happened - drwx------  13 david david   4096 2008-11-19 00:12 .amsn
[21:55] <DavidCanarias> drwx------   2 david david   4096 2008-11-08 21:42 amsn_received
[21:55] <gnutron> solexious: ctrl-d may do it.
[21:56] <DavidCanarias> ryushie: This doesn't mean anything to me??
[21:56] <solexious> gnutron, Thank you
[21:56] <solexious> gnutron, Perfect :)
[21:56] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: close off aMSN if it's currently running
[21:57] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: then, type the following in the console: "mv .amsn .amsn_backup"
[21:57] <Roger_K> does anyone know if I can copy apt files from one machine to another or are they removed after installation?
[21:57] <karllenz> hey i need help i cant change my screen resolution form 640x480
[21:57] <theanimal619> http://whitethunder.rickrolld.me/
[21:57] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: will try
[21:57] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: then restart aMSN and see if it works for you now
[21:57] <theanimal619> http://tinyurl.com/69vmbo
[21:57] <nite_johnboy> gnutron: Is there a way I could have this log print to "home" or somewhere as a .txt log file or a .html file ?
[21:58] <ryushe> bojtel: is it a PN42A450 by any chance?
[21:58] <bojtel> ryushe: yea samsung ps-42S5H
[21:58] <karllenz> anyone??
[21:58] <gnutron> nite_johnboy: dmesg > filename.txt
[21:58] <ryushe> bojtel: thanks, gimme a bit
[21:59] <FatherCarbon> sorry everyone, i'm going to paste my question again:
[21:59] <FatherCarbon> i have a question, guys.. i'm trying to install kubuntu 8.10 64bit using the alternate installer from a USB drive. The drive boots and as expected, the installer cannot find the cdrom drive. This is where the problem lies: I've tried manually mounting the usb drive to /cdrom, and then after continuing the installer it says 'could not read file from cdrom' -- it's the debconf preconfig file
[21:59] <DavidCanarias> ryushie: It said no such file existed and I copied what you wrote!!
[21:59] <Coggz> Im having a problem with gtkpod. On ubuntu 8.10 it freezes for ~10secs every time i click something... please help
[21:59] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: you did this in the same terminal right?
[22:00] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Yes I did
[22:00] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: does pwd return?
[22:00] <ryushe> euh
[22:00] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: WHAT does pwd return?
[22:00] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Sorry dont understand?  pwd?
[22:01] <Roger_K> type it
[22:01] <nite_johnboy> gnutron: Cool - Thanks so much!
[22:01] <Roger_K> in terminal
[22:01] <Roger_K> its print working directory
[22:01] <ryushe> DavidCanarias:  "pwd" in your console
[22:01] <gnutron> ryushe: present working directory = pwd
[22:01] <xintruder> hi
[22:01] <ryushe> gnutron: thanks, but I think you meant DavidCanarias ?
[22:01] <jaek> does the sun-java6-jre on 64bit ubuntu 8.10 have 'javaws'?
[22:01] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: It wrote /home/david
[22:01] <Roger_K> im pretty sure its print
[22:01] <gnutron> ryushe: sorry dude
[22:01] <xintruder> I just installed ubuntu, I can't su. Is root disabled by default?
[22:02] <DavidCanarias> gnutron: Thks
[22:02] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: ok, try this: "cd .amsn" then "ls -l"
[22:02] <xintruder> how do I enable it?
[22:02] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: same thing, no such file or directory
[22:02] <rwwIsAFK> !sudo | xintruder
[22:02] <BoomShaka> xintruder: try sudo?
[22:02] <xintruder> why can't I su ?
[22:02] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: try this again: "ls -la | grep amsn"
[22:03] <rwwIsAFK> xintruder: because the root account's disabled by default
[22:03] <gnutron> DavidCanarias: i refrain from 'you're welcome in lieu of bandwidth, but welcome.
[22:03] <xintruder> how do I enable root ?
[22:03] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: think the same as before : It said :  drwx------  13 david david   4096 2008-11-19 00:12 .amsn_backup
[22:03] <DavidCanarias> drwx------   2 david david   4096 2008-11-08 21:42 amsn_received
[22:03] <xintruder> sudo apt-get xchat , doesnt download xchat. Ideas?
[22:04] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: ah, it already did what it needed to do :)
[22:04] <shadowfaux> can anyone give me some help with file-roller?i'm using v2.22.3 and i've checked ubuntuforums.org as well as fileroller.sourceforge but can't see a fix for my problem
[22:04] <yusuo> any idea how i could downgrade vlc to 0.8.6 in intrepid
[22:04] <bojtel> ryushe: if you see 1024x768 in the xorg file , its where I tried to conf the panning..but as said before that didnt work
[22:04] <DavidCanarias> gnutron: Sorry didnt understand your message I have done something wrong?
[22:04] <gnutron> xintruder: apt-get install xchat use sudo prefix
[22:04] <Roger_K> xintruder, apt-get install xchat
[22:04] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: the command I gave you earlier moved the current .amsn directory to .amsn_backup. Try starting aMSN up again
[22:04] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: So do you think it will work now?
[22:04] <Roger_K> xintruder, your missing the install
[22:04] <bdelin88> i am thinkin that i may go back to window$
[22:04] <gnutron> DavidCanarias: nothing wrong, happy to help.
[22:04] <ryushe> bojtel: I just found the horizontal and vertical refresh for the TV, one sec
[22:05] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: try it ;)
[22:05] <Roger_K> bdelin88, which distro do you use
[22:05] <DavidCanarias> gnutron: Glad to hear this, thanks
[22:05] <bdelin88> ubuntu
[22:05] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: if not, we'll move the directory back, and no harm will have been done
[22:05] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Will do, appreciate yr help
[22:05] <Roger_K> ibex?
[22:05] <bdelin88> yes
[22:05] <xintruder> E: Couldn't find package xchat .. hmm..
[22:05] <Roger_K> eh
[22:05] <xintruder> its been a while me and ubuntu :< !
[22:05] <hochron> so why should I install ubuntu versus debian?
[22:05] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: If I close down my messenger Pidgin to open amsn will I lose Ubuntu?
[22:05] <bdelin88> i am pretty computer savvy, but it seems anytime i want to get something to work, i have to hit the forums and go through extensive command line "stuff"
[22:05] <Roger_K> i like heron
[22:06] <Roger_K> so fast
[22:06] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: euh? closing Pidgin closes Pidgin, nothing to do with Ubuntu ;)
[22:06] <bdelin88> ...I just don't have 3 hours a day to keep configuring my distro lol
[22:06] <Roger_K> xubuntu 8.04
[22:06] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: then I  will close Pidgin and be back OK
[22:06] <Roger_K> the best
[22:06] <bdelin88> is that the xfice version?
[22:06] <Roger_K> yes
[22:06] <Roland123> how to extract rar files?
[22:07] <bdelin88> rolan go to applications menu
[22:07] <bdelin88> add/remove
[22:07] <ryushe> Roland123: if the archive manager doesn't, then install rar and unrar using the package manager
[22:07] <bdelin88> and type in "rar" or ".rar" and see what programs come up :)
[22:07] <Roland123> ok thnx
[22:07] <erUSUL> !rar
[22:07] <xintruder> how do I enable root account?
[22:07] <amh> is there a list of wireless cards that will work natively in 8.10 desktop?
[22:08] <karllenz> anyone i cant change my screen resolution at all :(
[22:08] <bmunger> i just did a dist-upgrade on my ubuntu 8.10 server box and now it just sits at Starting up... and I tried the previous kernel with same results.. recovery mode also doesn't work.. any idea what could be wrong?
[22:08] <ryushe> xintruder: for regular use you shouldn't need the root account, just sudo
[22:08] <erUSUL> !hcl | amh
[22:08] <yusuo> xintruder sudo -i
[22:08] <bdelin88> i really want to like ubuntu... but i just feel like I am going to have to tinker the hell out of my computer to get things to work, and then a new version of ubuntu will come out and i will be like, FFFFFFFFFFF! I have to do it again.... i mean dear god my blackberry is going to be hell if I want to figure out how to sync it...
[22:08] <erUSUL> !rrot | xintruder
[22:08] <erUSUL> !root | xintruder
[22:09] <ryushe> bojtel: interesting problem your monitor is tbh
[22:09] <xintruder> how can I update everything in my laptop after a fresh install?
[22:09] <lordchavez> couldnt fix the thing.. xserver says display not found
[22:09] <lordchavez> plz query me
[22:09] <xintruder> !update
[22:09] <yusuo> sudp apt-get update
[22:09] <yusuo> *sudo
[22:09] <bojtel> ryushe: what is tbh?
[22:09] <yusuo> u get that xintruder
[22:09] <archangelpetro> tbh == to be honest
[22:09] <ryushe> bojtel: to be honest :)
[22:10] <xintruder> yup, thanks guys
[22:10] <erUSUL> xintruder: with the update manager
[22:10] <bmunger> i guess ubuntu server isnt ready for production use
[22:10] <Roger_K> bdelin88, theres a palm sync launcher for ubuntu 8.04
[22:10] <Roger_K> blackberry is palm based i think
[22:10] <bdelin88> ... i don't think so
[22:10] <xintruder> im using kbuntu, am i in the right room btw?
[22:10] <yusuo> yeah update manager would do as well im more of a terminal guy though
[22:10] <bdelin88> you have to do a lot of compiling with the early stages of the berry project
[22:10] <yusuo> lol no
[22:10] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Well done, thanks a million it worked!!!! Do you know what was wrong then?
[22:10] <Roger_K> i see
[22:10] <yusuo> ubuntus gdm based kubuntus kde based
[22:11] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: no idea, but it sounded like messed up settings for the app
[22:11] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: your welcome btw :)
[22:11] <jamlo> hi
[22:11] <bmunger> where can i get help for ubuntu server
[22:11] <jamlo> hi guys
[22:11] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: well you were right. I usually connect to this chat with Pidgin...... I couldn't see how to do it with amsn, or don't I actually need to?
[22:12] <jamlo> is this chat room only for programmers
[22:12] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: if you want an all-in-one chat tool, I hear Pidgin is great
[22:12] <Roger_K> xchat
[22:12] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: I personally use XChat for IRC stuff, don't use anything else anyways
[22:12] <DavidCanarias> jamlo: No I don't think so, but there are a lot of genius's around Just popt your question
[22:12] <ardchoille> jamlo: no, it's support for Ubuntu
[22:13] <bdelin88> I have come to the point where I am thinking... if I have to use a virtual box to print... and use the virtual box to run office 2007 (BC I NEED ABSOLUTE COMPATIBILITY WITH OFFICE DOCS) then why am I running ubuntu, it just seems like more work, unless anyone can convince me otherwise, I mean I really love the idea of the whole thing, but with Microsoft giving everyone the shaft, there's not much that anyone can do... i understand that,
[22:13] <bmunger> just checking if anyone can see my text
[22:13] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Is that used with Applications, Internet?
[22:13] <ardchoille> bmunger: yes :)
[22:13] <bmunger> ok
[22:13] <Roger_K> bdelin88, i use virtual machines
[22:13] <bmunger> then im just being ignored
[22:13] <Roger_K> its faster than a full windows install
[22:13] <Roger_K> way faster
[22:13] <gnutron> bdelin88: openoffice supports MS .doc  format
[22:13] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: XChat? Yeah, you should find that under Applications -> Internet (if it's installed.) If not, look it up in the package manager
[22:13] <bdelin88> yes it's just the fact that I shouldn't have to use virtual machines
[22:13] <ardchoille> bmunger: I doubt it, not everyone here knows the answer to every question
[22:13] <bdelin88> and i know that they do support that
[22:13] <Roger_K> i agree
[22:14] <bdelin88> but they do not support DOCX very well, the new office 2007 format
[22:14] <Roger_K> but i have licenses for some specific programs
[22:14] <jamlo> programming
[22:14] <bmunger> it makes no sense.. i did a dist-upgrade and now i cant boot my system to any kernel
[22:14] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Yes I have it installed, but up come so many options it confusing. Or do you just click on the Ubuntu server?
[22:14] <bdelin88> the default "save" file for 07 office is DOCX
[22:14] <bmunger> it just hangs at the starting up point
[22:14] <Roger_K> bmunger, your graphics card isnt good enough for ibex
[22:14] <bdelin88> unless specified, so most ppl are starting to send me DOCX
[22:14] <BoomShaka> soi just installed java6 jre using apt-get, but my JAVA_HOME environ var is not set automatically... where exactly is java installed to, or how do i find it? "locate java" just yields a bunch of crap
[22:14] <DouglasK> Anyone know if the Asus WL-160N card works natively in ubuntu?
[22:14] <bmunger> its ubuntu server.. no X11
[22:14] <jamlo> how can i access programmings part
[22:15] <ryushe> DavidCanarias: euh, I guess :) otherwise look for freenode.net in the list of servers and hit connect, then join the #Ubuntu channel
[22:15] <Roger_K> odd
[22:15] <Roger_K> something has a problem then
[22:15] <sweetgu1> how can i access my thumbdrive?
[22:15] <bdelin88> and i am having to use virtual box's crappy sound emulation with little blips in and out so that i can listen to yahoo radio :), i guess i could wine IE on here... but see... more tinkering...
[22:15] <bmunger> i think someone put in a shitty upgrade package
[22:15] <ryushe> bojtel: I see the issue I think. Let me ask you this, does X currently show you something?
[22:15] <Roger_K> because with ibex mine wouldnt get past boot, it couldnt load the nvidia drivers and the processor/ram combo couldnt run it on its own
[22:16] <DavidCanarias> ryushe: Ok will try, but with the Ubuntu one it was having problems with my host name
[22:16] <xintruder> how do I know if I have the correct drivers (nvidia) installed to run compiz correctly on my kbuntu?#
[22:16] <ryushe> sweetgu1: plugging it in should make it available either on the desktop with an icon, or in tthe left hand side of the file manager
[22:16] <bmunger> now i have to spend hours reloading this box and setting up the repository
[22:16] <bdelin88> i realize that most of this if not all of it is NOT ubuntu's fault... but it's all a big pain in the ass
[22:16] <sweetgu1> ryushe: Oh! works.
[22:16] <DavidCanarias> BoomShaka: I am having lots of problems too with Java 6. Have u found a solution? I'd be interested to know
[22:16] <bojtel> ryushe: what do you mean X (sorry Im a noob)
[22:16] <BoomShaka> DavidCanarias: all i want to know is what the install path for java is.........
[22:17] <bdelin88> and yes i am just ranting to the whole channel
[22:17] <Roger_K> xintruder,  system>hardware drivers
[22:17] <ikonia> bdelin88: best not to
[22:17] <Roger_K> but
[22:17] <DavidCanarias> BoomShaka: Sorry I cant help you then! Good luck.
[22:17] <bdelin88> lo
[22:17] <ryushe> bojtel: can you see a desktop right now?
[22:17] <bdelin88> lol ikonia
[22:17] <Roger_K> why do you want compiz though
[22:18] <DouglasK> ok .. better question.  What wireless N adapter is recommended for Hardy Heron/
[22:18] <shadowfaux> does i'm having problems with file-roller that isn't covered by any of the ubuntu help sites or bugzilla. my problem is that when i extract anything (zip or tar.gz mainly) file-roller ignores any subfolders and extracts anything to one folder
[22:18] <bojtel> ryushe: yes I see it but the resolution is incorrect
[22:18] <ryushe> bojtel: ok, but both screens work right now?
[22:18] <Roger_K> lol DouglasK  not anything belkin i know that
[22:18] <bojtel> ryushe: yes
[22:19] <gnutron> jamlo: try /join #ubuntu-devel
[22:19] <bdelin88> well one thing that still frustrates the hell out of me... is that intrepid was supposed to be an update based on network compatibility and things like that, yet I still don't see a GUI for Internet connection sharing or network bridging?  I mean c'mon...
[22:19] <ryushe> bojtel: is your main screen a flat panel? ie. not a CRT?
[22:20] <bojtel> ryushe: yes its flat panel connected to dvi, and the other through vga output
[22:20] <bdelin88> i don't want to go through command line hell just to accomplish the few simple options that windows DOES provide
[22:20] <karllenz> can anyone help me change my screen resolution it wont let me change it
[22:20] <whadar1> how can I compress pdf while keeping good quality?
[22:20] <BoomShaka> Any idea what the default install path of java6 JRE is ?

[22:26] <bojtel> ryushe: Benq is my main monitor
[22:26] <demonspork> in 8.04, whenever the menu.lst for grub gets updated automatically, it sets up the wrong partition, and I was fine with editing it when a new kernel would come out, but now it rewrites the menu.lst file every time I boot into Ubuntu, using the wrong hdd partition numbers and UUID and removing the boot options I put in for Windows. how do I keep grub from doing this
[22:26] <ikonia> Flare183: is that an official ubuntu product ?
[22:26] <ryushe> bojtel: ok, almost there
[22:26] <softwarejonas> is there any way to mount a Zune player into the linux file system?
[22:26] <IdleOne> faryshta, be more specific with your question

[22:27] <WNxCryptic> IdleOne, KDE
[22:27] <IdleOne> WNxCryptic, follow the link ubottu sent you
[22:27] <enmasse> guys need some help
[22:27] <ikonia> Flare183: it's nothing to do with ubuntu by the looks of it
[22:27] <enmasse> what are some good irc clients?
[22:27] <gabri> anyone can help me?
[22:27] <enmasse> that have server lists/color schemes
[22:27] <IdleOne> WNxCryptic, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE here you go
[22:27] <enmasse> i had konversation before but it had no servers
[22:27] <BoomShaka> ok, so I need to add a folder to my PATH env var. export PATH=%PATH%;/blah/my/path ? is that correct?    how do i do PATH = PATH + XXXX
[22:27] <enmasse> im using xchat right now
[22:27] <enmasse> but its soo hard to read
[22:27] <enmasse> how do i make text bigger/colors?
[22:27] <WNxCryptic> IdleOne, I did and the packages listed for removal when I enter the command suggested on that page there are only 3 packages that are going to be removed.
[22:27] <dr_willis> BoomShaka,  thats totally wrong.. CLOSE but wrong. :)
[22:27] <faryshta> I have an encore usb-wifi, don't work.
[22:28] <WNxCryptic> IdleOne, that seems a bit low for Gnome.
[22:28] <bojtel> ryushe: do you think it'll work?
[22:28] <DIFH-iceroot> enmasse: irssi is the best but its harder then xchat and mirc (imo)
[22:28] <dr_willis> BoomShaka,  export PATH=$PATH:NEWPATH/TO/ADD
[22:28] <faryshta> IdleOne, I don't know what else to ask.

[22:28] <goldmetal> how to use kde network manager instead of gnome network manager?
[22:28] <BoomShaka> dr_willis: hehe ye, i knew it was wrong. thanks tho!
[22:28] <ryushe> bojtel: not sure, should work, let's put it that way ;)
[22:28] <IdleOne> WNxCryptic, keep reading there are hundreds of packages to remove
[22:28] <ryushe> bojtel: make a backup of your current xorg.conf just in case, you know how?
[22:28] <dr_willis> BoomShaka,  if you have custome commands put them in the users home/bin directory. that dir will get auto-added t the path
[22:28] <gabri> help me..
[22:29] <enmasse> DIFH-iceroot, yea i was told irssi but that was very confusing
[22:29] <m1dn1ght> enmasse: Settings > Preferences > Interface > Text Box --- change font
[22:29] <enmasse> ill try that
[22:29] <IdleOne> WNxCryptic, it should be the same packages for 8.10 as 8.04
[22:29] <demonspork> in Ubuntu 7.10, menu.lst is rewritten with the wrong information each time I boot it, how do I make it not update menu.lst and let me do it manually
[22:29] <DIFH-iceroot> enmasse: its a shell-client but its so powerful and it can be used as an icq,msn,yahoo and jabber-client too
[22:29] <bojtel> ryushe: ehh i've done it before...not sure I remember though
[22:30] <ryushe> bojtel: as root or using sudo, "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup"
[22:31] <ryushe> bojtel: this is in a terminal by the way
[22:31] <faryshta> I have an encore-realtek usb-wifi, it only work for a few seconds then stop all internet connections
[22:32] <pi_> anyone feel like telling me what buttons im supposed to press to enable the compiz 3d cube thingy?
[22:32] <erUSUL> pi_: you have compiz/effects already enabled?
[22:32] <bojtel> ryushe: yes terminal , iknow
[22:32] <pi_> they should be
[22:32] <erUSUL> !ccsm | pi_ you need to configure the cube plugin
[22:33] <Cteel> Need help!
[22:33] <erUSUL> pi_: simple-ccsm is enough to get the cube
[22:33] <erUSUL> !ask | Cteel
[22:33] <U-dontu> Im so sick of ubuntu now. Say something that'll make everything okay.
[22:33]  * Cteel nod
[22:34] <Cteel> How can i install something with the .run extention with all the administrator privilege?
[22:34] <pi_> already installed both versions of the (probably unneccasary)
[22:34] <faryshta> IdleOne, I don't know what else to ask.
[22:34] <faryshta> I have an encore-realtek usb-wifi, it only work for a few seconds then stop all internet connections
[22:34] <ryushe> bojtel: feel like trying it out?
[22:34] <erUSUL> Cteel: what are you trying to install?
[22:34] <thesaint> I just need to switch the screen to an external monitor, i have a geforce 7000m card
[22:35] <Cteel> erUSUL, tremulous.86.run
[22:35] <bojtel> ryushe: ok backup done
[22:35] <nixbox> how do i execute an echo command with sudo? it gives an error
[22:35] <bdelin88> ryushe are u there
[22:35] <ryushe> bojtel: Ok, check http://paste.ubuntu.com/79010/plain/ and save that as a new xorg.conf in your /etc/X11/ directory, then restart X
[22:35] <DouglasK> nixbox: sudo su, then do as  you please
[22:35] <erUSUL> Cteel: chmod +x file.run && sudo ./file.run
[22:36] <ryushe> bdelin88: yeah, one sec please
[22:36] <Cteel> X.x
[22:36] <bdelin88> make sure you set the xorg for bojtel to TWINVIEW
[22:36] <bdelin88> that's the settings that he will want
[22:36] <Cteel> erUSUL, I just got Ubuntu installed, i get absolutely nothing
[22:36] <bdelin88> ok it looks like you set it that way
[22:36] <erUSUL> !terminal | Cteel
[22:36] <erUSUL> Cteel: open a terminal
[22:37] <ryushe> bdelin88: of course, he mentioned two screens, I don't assume separate X screens running unless told so.
[22:37] <ryushe> bdelin88: :)
[22:37] <bdelin88> haha ok
[22:37] <bojtel> ryushe: do I have to log out of here to restart x?
[22:37] <bdelin88> it took me a while to figure that one out since twinview was greyed out :)
[22:37] <bdelin88> bojtel i think you can just reset the GDM
[22:37] <erUSUL> Cteel: done?
[22:37] <Cteel> Terminal opened
[22:37] <erUSUL> Cteel: where did you dled the file?
[22:37] <ryushe> bojtel: if you're using an IRC application on the current desktop, then yes. But before you do, wait a sec
[22:38] <bdelin88> "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then to get back in "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[22:38] <bdelin88> can't he just do the above ryushe?
[22:38] <Cteel> From the official website of tremulous
[22:38] <nixbox> DouglasK, thanks
[22:39] <erUSUL> Cteel: i meant where in your system did you saved the file
[22:39] <erUSUL> Cteel: on Desktop?
[22:39] <bojtel> ryushe: ok xorg file saved
[22:39] <DouglasK> nixbox, no problem.  remember to type "exit" when done
[22:39] <Cteel> erUSUL, Yup desktop
[22:39] <faryshta> I have an encore-realtek usb-wifi, it only work for a few seconds then stop all internet connections
[22:39] <bdelin88> ryushe, do you remember if it was twinview or xinerama that you can't have two different resolutions?
[22:39] <erUSUL> Cteel: do "cd Desktop"
[22:39] <bdelin88> bojtel needs to different resolutions for his two screens
[22:39] <ryushe> bojtel: do this: quit all apps. log out of your desktop. not shutdown, not anything else, just log out. then try to move your mouse to the second screen (which'll be black). If it doesn't work, hit ctrl-alt-backspace (restarts X). Try the above again. If still don't work, backup current xorg.conf to xorg.conf_old, and put the backup back in place and restart X. Ok?
[22:40] <dr_willis> bdelin88,  i recall ahving different res's in BOTH twinview and xinerama
[22:40] <alfavasquez> hello there
[22:40] <bdelin88> hmm, alright then

[22:43] <bojtel> ryushe: i understand that but what is the command to replace the file with the backup file
[22:43] <bojtel> ryushe: presuming it wont work that is
[22:43] <Roger_K> bojtel
[22:43] <Roger_K> want life to be simple?
[22:43] <erUSUL> Cteel: use cd WhateverDesktopistanslatedinyourlanguage
[22:43] <Roger_K> use gksudo thunar
[22:43] <Biker803> Hi guys, if there's anyone who is well versed in ISCSI (open-iscsi specifically) and Apache if they could give me a hand with an issue I'm having. I posted on the forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=999192 Thanks!
[22:43] <Cteel> erUSUL, I'm already on my desktop i think
[22:44] <Roger_K> or gksudo nautalus
[22:44] <bdelin88> oooh thunar what is this? :)
[22:44] <Roger_K> or whatever
[22:44] <Roger_K> file manager
[22:44] <faryshta> someone knows a command to know what is the chipset of an usb-wifi?
[22:44] <erUSUL> Cteel: check with "ls" that the file is there
[22:44] <Roger_K> but if you gksudo you can copy and write any files
[22:44] <ryushe> bojtel: first: "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old" then "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf" . clear?
[22:44] <erUSUL> faryshta: lsusb ?
[22:44] <Roger_K> just be careful
[22:44] <ryushe> Roger_K: pretty hard to do without X
[22:44] <Cteel> erUSUL, What that did?
[22:45] <hochron> so why should I install ubuntu versus debian?
[22:45] <Roger_K> you have no file manager installed?
[22:45] <faryshta> erUSUL, only show "REALTEK Semiconductor corp"
[22:45] <enmasse> guys help
[22:45] <bdelin88> ubuntu is "easier"
[22:45] <enmasse> how do i connect to rizon?
[22:45] <enmasse> whats the port/server?
[22:45] <oneway1> channel
[22:45] <ryushe> Roger_K: he does, but we're messing with X, and if it doesn't work, he needs to know how to do it via command line
[22:45] <cs_student> Anyone here use netbeans 6.5?
[22:45] <erUSUL> Cteel: list files and dirs i
[22:45] <hochron> not good enough
[22:45] <faryshta> I need to know which chipset uses the usb-wifi to know which driver to install
[22:45] <bdelin88> lol
[22:45] <enmasse> guys how do i connect to rizon?!?!?
[22:45] <bdelin88> hochron are you new to ubuntu?
[22:45] <dr_willis> enmasse,  whagt is rizon?
[22:45] <Roger_K> ryushe, sorry i didnt know that
[22:46] <enmasse> whats the server(s)/ports
[22:46] <enmasse> the irc network rizon
[22:46] <hochron> never vused it
[22:46] <enmasse> xchat doesnt already have it >______________>
[22:46] <bdelin88> sry i mean are you new to linux
[22:46] <hochron> * used
[22:46] <bdelin88> hochron^
[22:46] <gnutron> enmasse: default irc port is 6667
[22:46] <ryushe> Roger_K: I know, but before we completely confuse him ... ;)
[22:46] <hochron> no
[22:46] <enmasse> so how do i figure out what servers rizon uses?
[22:46] <Roger_K> true
[22:46] <bdelin88> ah ok, well then you automatically know more than i do
[22:46] <dr_willis> enmasse,  google.com would be a good place to check.
[22:46] <enmasse> why don't linux clients come with a large list of servers like mirc???!
[22:46] <erUSUL> Cteel: the file is there; isn't it? then just do...
[22:46] <erUSUL> Cteel: chmod +x file.run && sudo ./file.run
[22:47] <Roger_K> enmasse, it does what client are you using
[22:47] <bdelin88> i am new, and i chose ubuntu because it has (apparently) a lot of community support, and supposedly more than any other distro, and a lot of hype surrounding it.
[22:47] <dr_willis> enmasse,  xchat does come with a large list..  i have to wonder why do i NEED a list of<PHONE_NUMBER>00 IRC servers...
[22:47] <Roger_K> exactly what willis said
[22:47] <hochron> thanks for the info bdelin88
