[04:07] <sebsebseb> justin__: ok  you can run  that stuff in wine :)  and pretty well,  not sure about netbeans
[04:08] <brandon_> zenlunatic: what do you sugest i do
[04:08] <Chaorain> sheep, thanks for the help
[04:08] <Mobius2> no, that's what the initials actually stand for, I think... it basically lets you run programs and even 3d games designed for windows
[04:08] <justin__> actually my other computer i built for mythubuntu ... I actually built a HTPC  meant for linux before I even tired it.. but ended up installing windows, because im not good at it yet
[04:08] <sebsebseb> justin__: get Ubuntu on there, try your Windows apps in Wine,   no luck there well there are commercial versions, but probably won't run that much better there.
[04:08] <zenlunatic> brandon_, can you open pages in firefox?  are you ircing from the box now?
[04:08] <epaphus> When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" is there _any_ way to fix that?
[04:08] <sebsebseb> justin__: so for a problem app you can run Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine.  which will be fine for everything except 3D games basicalley
[04:08] <brandon_> i can internet works fine
[04:08] <justin__> what is wine is it like VMware\
[04:08] <epaphus> sebastien, ? :)
[04:08] <brandon_> and i am on chatzilla
[04:08] <zenlunatic> brandon_, so sudo apt-get install firestarter
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: no there is Wine and virtual machines
[04:09] <justin__> can you install Mac apps too?
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: you can't do Mac apps :(
[04:09] <saxofoner> Is it normal for for the ubuntu install of grub to not find Archlinux?
[04:09] <saxofoner> it seems odd
[04:09] <justin__> that succccks
[04:09] <brandon_> i alredy did
[04:09] <zenlunatic> brandon_, if you get that installed it has a GUI easy to set up sharing
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: however there is Hackintosh :D
[04:09] <sheep> justin__: wine is an implementation of the windows API/ABI on linux, nor mac
[04:09] <justin__> isn't mac like unix based?
[04:09] <kaski> Justin wine is a application used to make windows applications runnable in Ubuntu
[04:09] <sheep> *not
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: yeah Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD or so they say, well yeah it's Unix under the hood
[04:09] <justin__> where do I find this wine
[04:09] <L3dPlatedLinux> I was messing with usplash screen and all I see now is grub for a sec and then a bunch of text and then the gdm. How would I get the usplash back?
[04:10] <sebsebseb> justin__: wait
[04:10] <zenlunatic> L3dPlatedLinux, probably edit your kernel entry in menu.lst
[04:10] <sebsebseb> justin__: listen 2/3 options for running your Windows apps
[04:10] <justin__> Soo..what torrent program do you guys use?
[04:10] <epaphus> When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" is there _any_ way to fix that? sebsebseb
[04:10] <Mobius2> now somebody told me that VirtualBox 3 did support direct control of the video card... but I always questioned how well that would work
[04:10] <sebsebseb> justin__: 1.  Wine   2.  commercial versions of wine  3.  a virtual machine program such as for example Virtualbox
[04:10] <brandon_> I DID ALL THAT, AND IT SAID ETH0 IS  NOT READY
[04:10] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I don't know
[04:11] <brandon_> srry caps:P
[04:11] <Mobius2> justin- just "sudo apt-get install wine"
[04:11] <epaphus> anybody ever seen that?
[04:11] <zenlunatic> you have multiple NICs brandon_
[04:11] <Magilla> keep it down, brandon_ - I'm trying to sleep
[04:11] <Magilla> ;P
[04:11] <sebsebseb> justin__: Wine or the programs based on it,  make  Wines apps run like Linux apps in Ubuntu.  and then a virtual machine is for running a real Windows install
[04:11] <brandon_> NIC?
[04:11] <epaphus> When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" No OS found .... is there _any_ way to fix that? sebsebseb
[04:11] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I said I don't know
[04:11] <Mobius2> brandon-  NIC = ethernet card
[04:11] <zenlunatic> brandon_, multiple network interfaces?
[04:11] <epaphus> sorry
[04:12] <justin__> I saw a awesome video on youtube where someone was was running xp and ubuntu at the same time all tricked out..it wasn't virtualized either it looked like the real thing
[04:12] <sebsebseb> epaphus: oh actsaully sounds like a Grub error
[04:12] <sebsebseb> justin__: well you can run  real  Windows installs in  Ubuntu as well
[04:12] <justin__> I hope Utorrent work on linux : - )
[04:12] <epaphus> sebastien, well... maybe I didnt overwrite those partitions.. I honestly was makin g a process in the machine it should have overwritten ANOTHER hard disk not this one
[04:12] <XtrHotMarSpy> who wants to do that?
[04:12] <Mobius2> justin- uTorrent isn't for linux yet
[04:12] <sebsebseb> justin__:  Utorrent works nicely in Wine, but you don't need that,  Ktorrent :)
[04:13] <brandon_> ? i have a wifi router, that is connecting to one computer which i want to share the internet over ethernet to onther
[04:13] <justin__> I want ktorrent
[04:13] <Mobius2> ah thanks seb, I was getting sick of this Transmission that came with ubuntu
[04:13] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: indeed it's a bit crappy.  by the way which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[04:13] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: you want KDE4 version of Ktorrent
[04:13] <Mobius2> brandon- you need to bridge your ethernet connections
[04:13] <epaphus> sebsebseb, , well... maybe I didnt overwrite those partitions.. I honestly was makin g a process in the machine it should have overwritten ANOTHER hard disk not this one
[04:13] <zenlunatic> brandon_,  is this all dhcp?
[04:14] <Mobius2> I'm on 8, regular, I'm about to go check out Kubuntu though, I don't really care for Gnome that much
[04:14] <kaski> Excuse me guys, I set my graphics options for windows and such from medium to high
[04:14] <epaphus> sebsebseb, does the ubuntu cd offer a fix if it where the grub loader?
[04:14] <brandon_> yes I believe so
[04:14] <kaski> What are the exact changes
[04:14] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: oh your on 8.04?
[04:14] <Mobius2> 8.10 I think
[04:14] <sebsebseb> !version
[04:14] <sebsebseb> do that :)
[04:14] <zenlunatic> epaphus, you can just boot to runlevel 1
[04:14] <Mobius2> yep 8.10
[04:14] <epaphus> zenlunatic, how?
[04:15] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: sadly can't just get KDE3 for  Ubuntu 8.10
[04:15] <Mobius2> what? why the heck not?
[04:15] <zenlunatic> epaphus, edit grub entry at bootup with a 1 after your kernel arguments
[04:15] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: kubuntu in 8.10 is KDE4
[04:15] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: KDE3 is the one that has been used for years now, but is not suppourted anymore basicalley.  KDE4 is pretyt new
[04:15] <Mobius2> Oh I dunno that I'd even know the difference, honestly..
[04:16] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: I don't  like KDE that much, I will use the apps I like from it, in Gnome
[04:16] <avena> ola
[04:16] <sebsebseb> !grub |  epaphus
[04:16] <Mobius2> well I went from Ubuntu server install, went to apt-get install gnome, and it took 1.4 gigs
[04:16] <tritium> avena: if you mean "hola", #ubuntu-es for spanish, please
[04:16] <kaski> im trying to install the latest version of adobe flash player
[04:17] <epaphus> zenlunatic, the message "Using drive 0, partition 3" No O/S... is diplayed immediatey after the BIOS.
[04:17] <kaski> i should get the .deb version?
[04:17] <Mobius2> that's kinda ridiculous.. I'm sure a lot were dependencies, but still... i got off windows for a reason... plus all that and less room to configure stuff
[04:17] <Splex> any idea how to get flash 10rc 64bit to work with pulseaudio?
[04:17] <mitesh> jaunty channel please?
[04:17] <justin__> Has anyone used orb.com  .  It pretty cool for sharing video/ television / document / mp3 between window and linux.  All you do is install orb turn it on and put all your goodies in folder..  Then open your browser with your other computer. And you have all your files!
[04:17] <sebsebseb> kaski: sure get it from Adboes site
[04:17] <sebsebseb> !jaunty
[04:17] <kaski> Okay thanks seb
[04:17] <Deevz> how do I edit a text file as root?
[04:17] <Mobius2> Justin- I used to love orb, until version 2
[04:17] <sebsebseb> Deevz: which one?
[04:17] <brandon_> how do you upgrade ubuntu?
[04:17] <zenlunatic> epaphus, can you post your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:17] <s3bby> helllo ubuntu
[04:17] <justin__> Version2?
[04:17] <sebsebseb> brandon_: upgrade to which version?
[04:17] <Deevz> the index.html that is in my /var/www dir
[04:18] <Scunizi> !upgrade | brandon_
[04:18] <Sarai> Wow, exactly one month to jaunty
[04:18] <brandon_> like the 9.x thats comming out soon
[04:18] <Mobius2> yeah they changed the remote interface, and it was such a pain to find anything
[04:18] <kaski> whats jaunty?
[04:18] <tritium> Sarai: a bit more than a month still
[04:18] <Splex> less than 1 month isn't it
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Deevz: easy  cd into the folder    in the terminal   cd /var/www dir cwhatever
[04:18] <justin__> How do you get Ktorrent.  sudo apt-get ktorrent install?   Im downloading wine now.
[04:18] <epaphus> sebsebseb, zenlunatic .. what I do remember is.. I was in the car driving and noticed the laptop was on.. this laptop has an encrypted filesystem and it was asking me for the password... i didnt want to put it.. so i tried shutting it down hard on it.. thats all..
[04:18] <KillerOrca> Does anyone know if ubuntu supports wake on lan, and if so how it has to be set-up?
[04:18] <Deevz> it says the owner is root
[04:18] <epaphus> zenlunatic, how can I post the menu.1st.. if I cant get a shell? :)
[04:18] <Dreamglider> justin__, sudo apt-get install ktorrent
[04:18] <Mobius2> eh... it's hard for me to get too excited about releases that occur on a fixed schedule
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Deevz: then:   gksudo gedit filename   that will do it
[04:18] <tritium> Sarai: no, final release is 4/23
[04:18] <Splex> ohh
[04:19] <Splex> april 23
[04:19] <justin__> Is Wine and Ktorrent under Synaptic too?
[04:19] <sebsebseb> epaphus: you can make a grub  bootable floppy or I guess  usb stick
[04:19] <Mobius2> hey hey... 4/20 weekend, come back and there's a new ubuntu? dang, they should hurry it up by a few days
[04:19] <sebsebseb> justin__: don't get wine from synaptic
[04:19] <Sarai> tritium: darn, right you are. Wishful thinking
[04:19] <Mobius2> I'd pass out so many ubuntu CD's it would be crazy
[04:19] <sebsebseb> justin__: don't even get  wine from the terminal.  get it from their website, then you always get the latest version
[04:19] <Splex> you can always just install jaunty current
[04:19] <Splex> if you need it now
[04:19] <Splex> lol
[04:19] <zenlunatic> epaphus, a bios password?
[04:19] <sebsebseb> justin__: you add their server for ububuntu and then  sudo apt-get install wine
[04:20] <epaphus> sebsebseb, do you think this improper shutdown could altered the bootloader...? if its only the bootloader which is bad.. what are the chances I dont loose my data?
[04:20] <justin__> oops already did it
[04:20] <justin__> through terminal
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: http://www.winehq.org
[04:20] <Deevz> That works sebsebseb, thx
[04:20] <epaphus> zenlunatic, no the passwrd that ubuntu asks you if you encypted the filesystem
[04:20] <justin__> How do you uninstall in ubuntu?
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: well does not matter that much, but  if you want the latest version always
[04:20] <zenlunatic> epaphus, oh sorry never used that feature
[04:20] <justin__> add/remove
[04:20] <justin__> prob
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: sudo apt-get purge program
[04:20] <Mobius2> "sudo apt-get remove" will uninstall
[04:20] <epaphus> zenlunatic, its pretty cool
[04:20] <Mobius2> oh I could be wrong lol
[04:20] <Mobius2> anyway, I'm outta here
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: add/remove  is just a cut down version of Synaptic package manager
[04:21] <justin__> so ..... sudo apt-get remove vim
[04:21] <Mobius2> Shabbat Shalom, to those of such persuasions, and have a good night! to the rest of you!
[04:21] <justin__> like will that work
[04:21] <sebsebseb> justin__: no
[04:21] <zenlunatic> epaphus, so you lost your password to your encrypted laptop?
[04:21] <sebsebseb> justin__: well that would work I suppouse, but
[04:21] <sebsebseb> justin__: I use purge since that will get rid of config files as well   sudo apt-get purge vim
[04:21] <epaphus> zenlunatic, no.. i have that.. i lost what appears to be the grub config
[04:21] <justin__> sudo apt-get purge kate
[04:21] <Deevz> why is login in as root disabled in ubuntu?
[04:21] <sebsebseb> !root
[04:22] <Deevz> LOL
[04:22] <zenlunatic> epaphus, im on redhat now, but i think grub-install is in ubuntu
[04:22] <sonarsubs> Deevz - use sudo (command)
[04:22] <Deevz> I know
[04:22] <zenlunatic> epaphus, that command as root should reinstal grub on mbr
[04:22] <Deevz> I was just wondering...
[04:22] <Troll_Man> you get used to sudo after awhile
[04:22] <kaski> I am so lost when it comes to using linux
[04:22] <Technoviking> anyone know the canonical system group channel
[04:22] <Troll_Man> its simply more secure
[04:22] <justin__> sebsebseb where do these files go when you install them from the terminal
[04:22] <sebsebseb> kaski: ok  what do you want help with?
[04:22] <zenlunatic> kaski, you might find a class at your local community college
[04:22] <kaski> A beginners guide
[04:23] <epaphus> zenlunatic, you mean.. running that command with a grub USB boot up disk or something.. right?
[04:23] <kaski> Haha I don't think I need a class
[04:23] <kaski> But yeah
[04:23] <Magilla> I'm off to try and migrate to a new HDD
[04:23] <sebsebseb> justin__: some where in  the file system, but   program user data goes in hidden .folders in home
[04:23] <Magilla> I may be back. Eventually
[04:23] <zenlunatic> not familiar witha "ggrub usb boot up disk"
[04:23] <kaski> A website where I could learn the basics, such as file extensions, getting stuff done
[04:23] <Dreamglider> kaski, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Guide
[04:23] <justin__> sebsebseb if it is hidden then how do you get too it lol
[04:23] <zenlunatic> kaski, file extensions don't matter in linux
[04:23] <sebsebseb> justin__: view show hidden files and folders
[04:23] <bobb> Magilla thanks, the fix the x server command worked
[04:24] <Troll_Man> soo you guys take shifts helping people in here or just bored?
[04:24] <kaski> thanks dreamflider
[04:24] <kaski> glider*
[04:24] <sebsebseb> kaski: http://www.ubuntuguide.org

[04:24] <KillerOrca> Magilla, if that works let me know, I've been trying to do that forver
[04:24] <zenlunatic> Troll_Man, helping people makes me learn
[04:24] <kaski> I'll check both sites out

[04:25] <epaphus> sebsebseb, do you think this improper shutdown could altered the bootloader...? if its only the bootloader which is bad.. what are the chances I dont loose my data?
[04:25] <devilsadvocate> Troll_Man, sometimes we just feel like giving back, and not all of us can actually write code / have time to get familiarized with the codebase
[04:25] <Magilla> If I survive to tell the tale, I may remember to let you know ;P
[04:25] <Bender2k14> Hello all, I am interested in improving the mounting of disk images for a GSoC project.  Is anyone here want to talk about it?

[04:27] <sebsebseb> !participate

[04:27] <Troll_Man> thanks
[04:27] <Magilla> bye
[04:27] <corey> anybody help me out here?
[04:28] <devilsadvocate> Magilla, you can simply rsync / to the new drive. but yeah, there probably is a software that does disk images. not sure which
[04:28] <corey>  Hey guys question, I think my ATI x300 is installed but i lag hard still on games. Everytime I try to activate it I reboot and it says "out of range" help me out here
[04:28] <Sarai> what's your question, corey?
[04:28] <stopie> forums = ded?
[04:28] <corey> Look up real quick srai
[04:28] <devilsadvocate> magilla windows folk use norton ghost something
[04:29] <KillerOrca> corey, umm what games are you trying to play, are you using wine?
[04:29] <kaski> I am browsing this guide to installing windows games using wine
[04:29] <kaski> It tells me these commands
[04:29] <kaski> Would I enter them in the terminal?
[04:29] <corey> It doesn't matter bro i just want my card activated
[04:29] <gmazzola> corey: Also, what is the output of the command "glxinfo | grep direct"?
[04:29] <bobb> what is the way to refresh the ip address in ubunut
[04:29] <KillerOrca> kaski, if the guide says that then yes
[04:29] <bobb> like in windows it is ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew
[04:29] <kaski> The guide didn't mention a terminal
[04:29] <corey> I am a noob with linux
[04:30] <devilsadvocate> bobb, sudo /etc/init.d/network restart  (it might be networking)
[04:30] <KillerOrca> corey, ooen a terminal, should be under system menu
[04:30] <sebsebseb> kaski: get wine from their website
[04:30] <bobb> thx
[04:30] <gmazzola> corey: Go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal. Type in "glxinfo | grep direct" without the quotes.
[04:30] <sebsebseb> kaski: ad their repo then you always got latest wine http://www.winehq.org  then you sudo apt-get install wine
[04:30] <gmazzola> I'm trying to see if Linux recognizes that you have a graphics card.
[04:31] <KillerOrca> kaski, well most guides don't say terminal, just have bolded text for commands in the terminal
[04:31] <corey> it says nothing
[04:31] <Bender2k14> bobb and devilsadvocate: it is networking
[04:31] <justin__> Am I the only one who cant stand the "fonts" that come installed with buntu'
[04:31] <corey> it says bad request
[04:32] <kaski> how do I "ad their repo"
[04:32] <kaski> and what does that mean
[04:32] <justin__> I also don't think ubuntu installed my driver for my monitor
[04:32] <Bender2k14> kaski: repo is short for repository
[04:32] <kaski> Ah ok
[04:32] <kaski> I think I get it now
[04:32] <devilsadvocate> kaski, you add the link they gave you to your software sources in synaptic or in /etc/apt/sources.list (both are essentially th same thing)
[04:32] <Bender2k14> sweet
[04:33] <termitor> hello, who use vdpau ?
[04:33] <justin__> I installed Ktorrent now I can not find it...NEONE Help?
[04:33] <___cWe^14_xMp> nick elroy_music
[04:33] <KillerOrca> kaski, they have a repository of software, you add it to your sources list, which is described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
[04:33] <neer> is there any yahoo messenger client for ubuntu?
[04:33] <neer> not pidgin, kopete
[04:33] <termitor> neer: pidgin

[04:35] <neer> termitor: I don't know about that but I just want to voice chat
[04:35] <kaski> Okay thanks everyone
[04:35] <bobb> devils/bender what is the way to refresh the ip address in ubuntu, the networking thing said it refreshed but the ip did not change
[04:35] <kaski> I got it now
[04:36] <KillerOrca> bobb, is there a specifi reason you need a new ip?  Are you trying to change  the internal one?
[04:36] <devilsadvocate> bobb, probably your dhcp server is giving you the same ip again
[04:36] <bobb> i said in the network config to manuaal before refreshing devils
[04:36] <neer> termitor: do you have any suggestion ?
[04:36] <RexE> Hi, I'm creating new user accounts with useradd, but it doesn't seem to be setting any of the defaults (e.g. creating home dir in /home, granting proper permissions, etc.) I read the man page, and still can't see how I should fix this.
[04:36] <devilsadvocate> bobb, hm
[04:37] <devilsadvocate> bobb, then the network manager would have restarted network, etc
[04:37] <devilsadvocate> you should not have to do it manually
[04:37] <ElectricAlan> hi everyone
[04:37] <bobb> it didn't do ity
[04:37] <bullgard4> What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing)
[04:37] <termitor> neer: use windonws version of yahoo messenger on winehq
[04:37] <termitor> neer: test
[04:38] <RexE> I used the -d flag to specify the home dir, but then when I log in as my new user, I can't even modify files in my home directory.
[04:38] <KillerOrca> RexE, I believe that the other accounts added after the first need to be elevated if you want them to be, the default is to give them less permissions
[04:38] <ElectricAlan> I'm an adelaide uni software eng student, I use linux at uni but not very often at home
[04:38] <neer> termitor: test?
[04:38] <Geoffrey2> hello all, anyone here who's set up bluetooth under Intrepid?
[04:38] <ElectricAlan> so I'm hoping to start learning how to use ubunutu properly
[04:38] <bobb> and when I restarted ubuntu, it emptied all the configurations I hadset and put it back to dhcp, so it's not changing even if I restart
[04:38] <termitor> neer: testing it !
[04:39] <KillerOrca> bobb, are you tring to set a staic ip?
[04:39] <bobb> yes killer
[04:39] <RexE> Thanks KillerOrca. As root, how can I set typical permissions for a new user?
[04:39] <Kimi> Hello..!!
[04:40] <justin__> Hmm Wine is not working
[04:40] <neer> termitor: there is some testing going on ymessenger for ubuntu?
[04:40] <KillerOrca> bobb, alright I did this forever ago and it was a royal pain in the ass, are you looking to ssh in from outside your home network?
[04:40] <Freenix> hello
[04:40] <justin__> It only shows program files and windows and there is nothing in program files.
[04:40] <Geoffrey2> I'm trying to pair a cell phone with a bluetooth device on my computer, but every document I find says I need to configure a file that doesn't even exist in Intrepid....
[04:40] <justin__> Should I use a virtuallization program
[04:40] <Kimi> Why is windows more famous and widely used than ubuntu(or linux) .....
[04:40] <KillerOrca> RexE, I belive it is chmod, I think a quick google on adding new users and changing permissions should set you up
[04:40] <termitor> neer: use windows version of yahoo messensing via winhq ! go go go
[04:41] <devilsadvocate> justin__, thats what it is supposed to do ...
[04:41] <justin__> sudu atp-get install virtualbox   ......will that work?
[04:41] <devilsadvocate> justin__, what do you want to do, ultimately?
[04:41] <neer> termitor: i have tried using wine for so many applications, it does not work properly
[04:41] <justin__> I thought it would bring up your windows file?
[04:41] <Kimi> why cant i call Gtalk from Pidgin ???
[04:41] <justin__> I want to use some winows app
[04:42] <devilsadvocate> justin__, which you have installed on your windows partition?
[04:42] <RalphSpencer> Hello, this computer is set to dual boot XP and Ubuntu. I cannot access my F: drive in the Places menu of Ubuntu.
[04:42] <justin__> yeah
[04:42] <skinofstars1> Kimi: do you mean with voip?
[04:42] <Kimi> if i open mozilla.. i am not getting the title bar , only from menu bar it shows
[04:42] <devilsadvocate> justin__, browse to the application with nautil and double click on the .exe
[04:42] <devilsadvocate> nautilus
[04:42] <Kimi> skinofstars1 No.. i want to call Gtalk
[04:42] <Kimi> from pidgin
[04:42] <bobb> killer I'm trying to run a server, so  I don't want the ip to be dynamic
[04:42] <justin__> Nautil?
[04:43] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, press F11 for firefox, might help
[04:43] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, unix does not use drive letters. The drive is probalby there, but called something other than "f:" Look in Plaes->Computer
[04:43] <skinofstars1> Kimi: what do you mean 'call'?
[04:43] <devilsadvocate> justin__, nautilus. file manager.
[04:43] <RalphSpencer> Places/Computer
[04:43] <skinofstars1> Kimi: text?
[04:43] <RalphSpencer> So that I can mount it and access files on it.
[04:43] <Kimi> skinofstars1  i mean, to do voice chat with gtalk
[04:43] <Kimi> from pidgin
[04:44] <brad__> hi, I am having problems with the live cd for both intrepid ibex and jaunty. Whenever I try to boot the live cd, I think it panics shortly after X starts. The keyboard leds start to blink. What can I do to debug this issue?
[04:44] <RalphSpencer> I tried that
[04:44] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, its not possible from pidgin
[04:44] <Kimi> thanks... firefox worked :P
[04:44] <skinofstars1> Kimi: because pidgin isn't a voip client. consider ekiga or skype
[04:44] <cjae> can someone say my nick please
[04:44] <gmazzola> cjae
[04:44] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, It's not listed there? ok, try "sudo fdisk -l" to list all partitions. might need to manually mangle fstab to mount it
[04:44] <Kimi> skinofstars1 from skype, can i call Gtalk ?
[04:44] <KillerOrca> bobb, alright are you on a windows machine right now?
[04:45] <SunnyDP> Kimi: why ? or why?
[04:45] <termitor> Kimi: no skype it's fully privatif !
[04:45] <skinofstars1> Kimi: i don't think so, you'd have to check the skype manual
[04:45] <cjae> gmazzola: thanks but sound still doesn't work
[04:45] <bobb> this irc is running on windows, but I have the ubuntu machine right next to me so I can accesss both simultaneously
[04:45] <neer> plus what is this libssl0.9.6...
[04:45] <neer> I cannot find it
[04:45] <Starnestommy> neer: try aptitude search libssl
[04:46] <RalphSpencer> It has listed all the partitions...
[04:46] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, you cant. i dont know if they work/how well they work, you can look up telepathy based clients (i forget the name now) or psi jingle
[04:46] <sprinkmeier_> !who | RalphSpencer
[04:46] <luffy> yo
[04:46] <KillerOrca> bobb, ok on the windows machine do you have an ssh program installed?  If not I reccomend Putty, and on the linux box go to firefox and get to your routers' home page
[04:46] <brad__> 8.04 boots and installs fine. But 8.10, 9.04 both seem to kernel panic...
[04:46] <bobb> killer done
[04:46] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, can you tell which on the "f" drive is? something like "/dev/sda5"?
[04:47] <RalphSpencer> Shall I paste all thats listed in there?
[04:47] <KillerOrca> bobb, ok so you have an ip address picked out at the top range of your router?
[04:47] <RalphSpencer> I'm not much geeky in all these things..
[04:47] <sprinkmeier_> !pastebin | RalphSpencer
[04:47] <brutus> why does my firefox turn grey randomly?
[04:47] <Kimi> Then there is not gtalk for linux..... and all my frnds use gtalk ..... now what to do ?
[04:47] <bobb> killer i have my ip address picked out which is within the router subnet
[04:48] <brutus> Kimi, have you tried pidgin?
[04:48] <mayahustle> Does anyone know what's going on with ubuntu forums?
[04:48] <myron> Hello everyone ever since I installed ubuntu I have received the "sudo: unable to resove host hostname" when using the sudo command, but  sudo still works.
[04:48] <KillerOrca> bobb, I know but it is in the top part, like say you have adresses XXX.XXX.XXX.000 to XXX.XXX.XXX.100 and you want to chose 99
[04:48] <myron> I am using ubuntu 8.04
[04:48] <mayahustle> When I browse to the page.. I'm getting a database error
[04:49] <skinofstars1> Kimi: you could consider using wine. it allows you to run windows software
[04:49] <devilsadvocate> brutus, he wants voice
[04:49] <bobb> no it is out of the DHCP range, but within the subnet, so it is within <IP_ADDRESS> <-> <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:49] <ripps> myron: the time I've ever got that was after messing with my nsswitch.conf
[04:50] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, still there? Can you copy/paste the output of "sudoi fdisk -l" into pastebin? (see ubottu's instructions above)
[04:50] <brutus> devilsadvocate, skype is one option then
[04:50] <bullgard4> What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing)
[04:50] <RalphSpencer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/134630/
[04:50] <deuxpi> myron: the /etc/hosts should contain a line that looks like "<IP_ADDRESS>   localhost hostname" where "hostname" is your hostname
[04:50] <myron> ripps: I don't  recall messing with nsswitch.conf but I can check it out
[04:50] <KillerOrca> bobb, just as long as it is numbered high up so there are fewer chances of collisions, you have 2 ways to do this, one is to edit a text file, which I am sure you have done the other is to use the ifconfig command in terminal
[04:51] <devilsadvocate> brutus, actually, it isnt, because all his contacts are in gtalk.
[04:51] <Chaorain2> I am trying to mount /home/user/ubuntu to /home/user/ubuntu/ubuntu this should let me in Nautalis go into the ubuntu directory unlimited times right?
[04:51] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[04:51] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, ok, try "mkdir /tmp/F ; sudo mount /dev/6 /tmp/F ; nautilus /tmp/F"
[04:51] <raddad> Hello all.
[04:51] <bobb> killer either is fine with me, what should i used
[04:51] <myron> deuxpi: my /etc/hosts file says "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost" and I have disable all of the ipv6 lines by commenting them out
[04:51] <Kimi> skinofstars1 wine doesnt work gtalk
[04:51] <brutus> devilsadvocate, I don't know any other voice enabled client :)
[04:51] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, oops... "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /tmp/f"
[04:52] <Kimi> skinofstars1 i mean, gtalk doesnt work with wine
[04:52] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, you can try landell
[04:52] <skinofstars1> Kimi: quick check. it is possible to connect to google talk via telepathy client
[04:52] <devilsadvocate> brutus, :)
[04:52] <Kimi> telepathy ? :O
[04:52] <silv3r_m00n> opening smb:/// in nautilus shows the workgroups ... but when going inside a workgroup like this smb://workgroup/  none of the windows computers (on the lan) are visible
[04:52] <raddad> Question, are the forums working? or does anyone else get the database error?
[04:52] <skinofstars1> Kimi: do a search on telepathy-gabble
[04:52] <Kimi> k
[04:53] <myron> I have set up a network bridge for my vbox so it will have a network ip address, should I include a linei n my /etc/hosts file for my virtual machine too?
[04:53] <silv3r_m00n> how do I make the windows computers accessible from ubuntu
[04:53] <gmazzola> raddad: You're not the only one...
[04:53] <raddad> ok. good to know.
[04:53] <a>  forums not working here also!
[04:53] <RalphSpencer> Thats not the drive I wanted..
[04:53] <kindofabuzz> silv3r_m00n, samba
[04:53] <kindofabuzz> !samba | silv3r_m00n
[04:53] <KillerOrca> bobb, I think you should try the text file first, there are a few numbers you need to get from your router page though so keep it open http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html
[04:54] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, OK... "sudo umount /tmp/F ; sudo mount /dev/sda[pick another number] /tmp/F"
[04:54] <myron> raddad: I received a database error on another forum a minute ago (linux forum) but it wasn't ubuntu's
[04:54] <LethalP> I installed Ubuntu 8.10 inside windows and everything went fine but when i boot into Ubuntu at the boot screen then it asks for my user name and password as usual but after i log in i get a black screen with just my mouse cursor, any help?
[04:54] <silv3r_m00n> kindofabuzz: samba is installed over here
[04:54] <raddad> silv3r_m00n:  you can try setting up remote desktop using your IP to login through a web browser.
[04:54] <silv3r_m00n> raddad: I need this windows file sharing
[04:54] <RalphSpencer> Ok
[04:55] <raddad> silv3r: try using the ftp.
[04:55] <RalphSpencer> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:55] <raddad> yea, mount
[04:55] <raddad> that works too
[04:55] <silv3r_m00n> raddad: I have those options ... but I specifically need this file sharing option of samba
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> silv3r_m00n, then you share whatever folders you want, and windows should be able to see them. after you share a folder you have to log out then back in for it to take effect
[04:55] <RalphSpencer> Thats what came up..
[04:55] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, you can create samba shares (it behaves like windows shares)
[04:55] <deuxpi> myron: I think you can use dnsmasq if the vhost uses DHCP. If the address is static, you can give the IP address a name in the /etc/hosts file
[04:55] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: ubuntu is not able to access the windows machines
[04:56] <silv3r_m00n> windows is able to access ubuntu shares
[04:56] <error404notfound> I have used KDE and gnome and now looking for a lighter, fast and easy to use DE. any suggestions?
[04:56] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, please prefix comments with my name, makes it easier for me to see them. Which device did you use when you got the error? Try another of the devices listed in pastebin?
[04:56] <RalphSpencer> Hello? sprinkmeier_?
[04:56] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, zeroconf doesnt always work. try connecting via ip address
[04:56] <KillerOrca> bobb, sorry that was incomplete :( you need to also edit the nameserver file as described here http://linhost.info/2008/11/how-to-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu-810/
[04:56] <RalphSpencer> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:56] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: that's the thing... there are 100 computers with changing ips in this LAN
[04:57] <RalphSpencer> I got that messsage when I tried sda2..
[04:57] <raddad> windows will automatically access any shared, as long as its allowed to.
[04:57] <silv3r_m00n> raddad: yeah windows can access
[04:57] <epaphus> hey guys.. is it possible to damage your hard disks filesystem by using fsck_ffs ? (provided the hardisk itself wasnt already bad)
[04:57] <silv3r_m00n> but ubuntu can't
[04:57] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, mount can usually figure out the filesystem type automagically. if it can't then there's probably something weird going on (i.e. fix what's weird rather than specifying FS type)
[04:57] <Frogzoo> wierd amarok problem - always starts with the same song...
[04:57] <epaphus> I kinda ran fsck_ffs very fast.. and it asked me stuff like Fyn ... and I honestly hit anything and then rebooted...
[04:57] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, ah. there are also applications that can list network shares. nautilus should be able to do it, but im not sure how you get there
[04:58] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, try 8, 7, 5, 3....
[04:58] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: nautilus is showing the visible workgroups/domains ... but no computer in any of them
[04:58] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, try tksmb ?
[04:58] <silv3r_m00n> tksmb ... let me try
[04:59] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, or smb4k
[04:59] <raddad> well. as long as the forums arent working, we have installed the es1938 sound card. still no sound. we added it to /etc/modules as well.  ESS Solo 1 shows in Sounds but no sound plays. alsa has been reinstalled and alsamixer looks good.
[04:59] <myron> deuxpi: I have already configured the ip address for my virtual box, and it is static (through my router) but I was wondering if I did not include the entry for the bridged connection in /etc/hosts would it cause an unable to resolve hosts error?
[04:59] <Brando753> guys i need to know how to share the internet recieved from wifi to a comp. conected to an ethernet
[04:59] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, or xsmbrowser (sorry, im searching the repos for possibilities.. i dont remember which i used to use)
[04:59] <bullgard4> Using System > Administration > Users and Groups > Users Settings > MyUserName > Unlock > Authenticate > <Password> > Manage Groups > Add Group > Group name > Group Members > Ok > Close. When will this addition become effective?
[05:00] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: sure
[05:00] <bigrigger> unko: menu, system-preferences-sound-sound-tab
[05:00] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: Thanks! I got the drive! It was found on sda7. Will I have to do that everytime when I need that?
[05:00] <bobb> thx killer will try it
[05:00] <KillerOrca> Brando753, umm could you be more specific?
[05:01] <KillerOrca> bobb, np it took forever for me to get it working, should have written it down
[05:01] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, add it to /etc/fstab. best way to do that is to pastebin /etc/mtab and then "sudo nano /etc/fstab", I'll give you the line to add based on mtab
[05:01] <bullgard4> Using System > Administration > Users and Groups > Users Settings > MyUserName > Unlock > Authenticate > <Password> > Manage Groups > Add Group > Group name > Group Members > Ok > Close. When will this addition become effective? 'groups' does not show any change.
[05:01] <bigrigger> bullgard4: should be active immediately.
[05:01] <raddad> any help with the es1938? (question already sent above)
[05:01] <deuxpi> myron: I don't think it is a problem. /etc/hosts is just for assigning host names. It doesn't "do" something
[05:01] <LethalP> I installed Ubuntu 8.10 inside windows and everything went fine but when i boot into Ubuntu at the boot screen then it asks for my user name and password as usual but after i log in i get a black screen with just my mouse cursor, any help?
[05:02] <Brando753> KillerOrca: I have a laptop connected to the internet via wifi, i have a ethernet cable connecting the laptop to a desktop, i wish to give the desktop internet :D
[05:02] <bullgard4> bigrigger: But groups does not show any change.
[05:02] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: Sorry, I'm unable to understand what you mean. Could you say that again?
[05:02] <bigrigger> bullgard4: try sudo updatedb   in a terminal
[05:02] <devilsadvocate> !ics | Brando753
[05:03] <KillerOrca> Brando753, alright can you not connect the desktop to the router?  What is running on both computers?
[05:03] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: the thing is that I just need ubuntu to be able to access the windows share... nothing on ubuntu is to be shared ... so do I need to start the samba daemon ?
[05:03] <brad__> so does anyone know what I need to do to debug a kernel panic after booting 8.10 and 9.04?
[05:03] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, pastebin your /etc/mtab. It contains the mount commands currently active. One of those needs to be copied to /etc/fstab. To edit that file you need the command "sudo nano /etc/fstab".
[05:03] <Brando753> both are ubuntu :D And firestarter says "Eth0 (ethernet cable) is not ready"
[05:03] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i dont think so, but im not sure
[05:03] <myron> deuxpi: /etc/hosts is for resolving fdqn right? I know its not causing me a problem, but I have always wondered why it can't resolve my hostname when using the sudo command...
[05:04] <RalphSpencer> Oh ok..
[05:04] <RalphSpencer> !pastebin | RalphSpencer
[05:04] <AmyRose> I installed Intrepid on my friend's laptop last month using Wubi, and she's been getting kernel panics almost daily. She's got a Compaq Presario C700. We did manage to get wifi working on it with the ath5k driver.
[05:04] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: xsmbrowser  works better ... it now lists the visible computers in the workgroups
[05:04] <AmyRose> She's been keeping up to date
[05:04] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i'll try to remember that. thanks :)
[05:04] <bullgard4> bigrigger: I have done 'sudo updatedb'. There is no change.
[05:05] <KillerOrca> Brando753, not sure if you saw but someone else sent you a link for internet connection sharing if you scroll up, hope it helps
[05:05] <bullgard4> What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing)
[05:05] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: so why doesn't nautilus or konqueror do the same using smb://
[05:05] <bigrigger> bullgard4: open it again, do you see it
[05:05] <silv3r_m00n> is there some configuration problem ?
[05:05] <tritium> bullgard4: Birds of a Feather
[05:06] <frybye> anybody using yahoo messenger via wine in intrepid? (Neighbours here with many overseas contacts can't do without y-messenger when switching to ubuntu.)
[05:06] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, well, it works for me on dolphin... i havent tried it receently on konq and nautilus
[05:06] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: Thats posted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/134634/
[05:06] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i seem to remember it used to work
[05:06] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: yes it works in dolphin for me too
[05:06] <raddad> frybye: pidgin can do yahoo messenger. and many others
[05:06] <frybye> yeah but not the voice + video or???
[05:06] <tritium> frybye: correct
[05:06] <deuxpi> myron: if I change the hostname momentarily "sudo hostname dummy", I also get "sudo: unable to resolve host dummy"
[05:07] <bigrigger> bullgard4: grep new-group-name /etc/group
[05:07] <Intel69> hay
[05:07] <Kimi> skinofstars1 i did search on telepathy gabble ,.. but didnt get one for ubuntu..... can you plz help me with the exact web page ?
[05:07] <frybye> raddad: and exactly that is what this folks need to have a decent contact with extended familys all over the place...
[05:07] <deuxpi> myron:  so my guess is that sudo is trying to resolve the hostname
[05:07] <Intel69> Any of you guys ever use DEBUGFS ncheck to try to see if a hard-disk block contains any data? Mine has been running for 45 mins without an answer for a single block
[05:07] <oDesk> hello, i've installed version of Ubuntu 7.10 and i want to upgrade to Jaunty 9 from the CD
[05:08] <bullgard4> tritium: And what is meant by "Birds of a Feather"?  I am familiar with an everyday phrase 'Birds of Feather'. But I cannot link this phrase to Ubuntu. (My native language is not English.)
[05:08] <oDesk> how i would go ?
[05:08] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, that is not a very good idea.
[05:08] <frybye> looks like I will just have to give y-messenger a fly on my intrepid box here and hope to be able to sort any problems with it...
[05:08] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: but my files.. installations..
[05:08] <raddad> anyone know how to get the snd-es1938 to work? the card shows in lspci, its listed in sys-pref-sounds, also added to etc/modules, alsa was reinstalled and not muted
[05:08] <RalphSpencer> Sir sprinkmeier_?
[05:08] <aijnknknj> i just got a brand new harddrive from newegg. how can i check it to see if its not bad
[05:08] <tritium> bullgard4: informal meetings
[05:09] <aijnknknj> is there a chkdisk command like windows
[05:09] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, you should upgrade from 7.10>8.04>8.10>9.04 , and it would be easier on the network (although i concede pretty heavy on bandwidth usage)
[05:09] <raddad> aijnknknj: mount the drive
[05:09] <aijnknknj> yeah um i plugged it in and i never had to mount it
[05:09] <myron> deuxpi: ok, so if you change your hostname back to the regular name, you no longer get the unable to resolve host error right?
[05:09] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: what about the desk space required to do all these upgrades
[05:09] <aijnknknj> i just started copying files fine

[05:09] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, a direct upgrade from 7.10 > 9.04 can be tortorous
[05:09] <tritium> bullgard4: birds of a feather flock together, so these are informal meetings between people interested in common topics
[05:09] <deuxpi> myron: exactly
[05:09] <raddad> aijnknknj: then its presumably not bad if it works fine. :D
[05:10] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, use the nano command above to add "/dev/sda7 /mnt/F_DRIVE ntfs    defaults,ro 0 1" to fstab. the ",ro" makes the partition read-only. Given that the NTFS spec isn't publically available (and changes occasionally) this is safer.
[05:10] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, should not be much. i'd keep about a GB of free space or so
[05:10] <ReLieC_93_> lkj
[05:10] <ReLieC_93_> hy
[05:10] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, you should do an apt-cache clean occasionally to free up some space if you have a disk size problem
[05:10] <RalphSpencer> Sir, could you please give me the command that can directly be pasted into the file?
[05:11] <lclark> Automagic login to #ubuntu?  Clever.
[05:11] <myron> deuxpi: alright, so I am getting this error message because sudo can't resolve my hostname between /etc/hosts andwhat other fole/plaec?
[05:11] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: I see that xsmbrowser doesn't work if samba daemon is not running
[05:11] <bullgard4> tritium: "~$ grep sambashare /etc/group; sambashare: x:1001:detlef" So I added the group 'sambashare' successfully. But when will it becom effective?
[05:11] <myron> file/place*
[05:11] <brad__> is there anyway to debug a kernel panic from the livecd? That prevents fully booting and being able to install?
[05:11] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, oh... and also "sudo mkdir /mnt/F_DRIVE" to create the directory. did you "sudo umount /tmp/F" when you were trying to find the right partition? it looks like /tmp/F is mounted a few times :-)
[05:11] <tritium> bullgard4: for the user you're currently logged in as?  Upon your next login.
[05:12] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, nano is a text editor, it's fairly easy to use. fire it up using "sudo nano /etc/fstab" then paste in the line I gave you (you can highlight it, then middle-mouse-click to paste it into the terminal running nano).
[05:12] <sprinkmeier_> !terminal | RalphSpencer
[05:12] <bullgard4> tritium: Yes: for the user I am currently logged in. -- Thank you very much for your help.
[05:12] <tritium> bullgard4: no problem.  You saw the explanation above about BOFs?
[05:12] <deuxpi> myron: sudo would probably be happy with your hostname pointing to something <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:13] <Kimi> will anyone plz help with a client to do voice chat with Gtalk ???
[05:13] <Kimi> i mean, i need an direct solution plz./ not googling
[05:13] <saxofoner> anybody up for helping me with grub problems?
[05:13] <deuxpi> myron: I have three systems, and they each have a different /etc/hosts configuration...
[05:14] <bullgard4> tritium: Ye, I did see it. I am still wondering if these "people interested in common topics" are of any relevance to Ubuntu developers.
[05:14] <saxofoner> I can't get my Archlinux system to boot.  I can't check the filesystem for the kernel because ubuntu can't read ext4 yet
[05:14] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: so if i've 2G, i can apply all upgrades!..  apt-cache clean  #-> invalid operation clean
[05:14] <raddad> kimi: refer to here http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:faJ2UKxCrBgJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D246717+ubuntu+gtalk+voice&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
[05:14] <ziroday> saxofoner: then you need to ask the archlinux fols
[05:14] <tritium> bullgard4: yes, BOFs occur at ubuntu developers summits, typically
[05:14] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, let me check the command
[05:14] <raddad> note: its a google cached work around to read something from the forum. :D
[05:15] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, my apologies. it was apt-get clean
[05:15] <bullgard4> tritium: Ah, thank you very much for explaining.
[05:15] <ReLieC_93_> ;''''''''''''
[05:15] <tritium> bullgard4: no problem
[05:15] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: there was about 100MB, thanks
[05:15] <Kimi> raddad what to do in this page ?? it has for dapper drake .. not for ibex
[05:15] <ReLieC_93_> hy kimi
[05:16] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: then 2G is enough ?
[05:16] <raddad> eek. thats right kimi. oops! sorry =D
[05:16] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, it should be
[05:16] <Kimi> ReLiec_93_ HI..
[05:16] <KillerOrca> bobb, any luck yet?
[05:16] <devilsadvocate> ultimately depends on how many applications you have, but i would be surprised if you need more than 1g per upgrade
[05:16] <Kimi> devilsadvocate plz.. dont ask me to google... give me a direct page for oDesk
[05:16] <ReLieC_93_> hy uga
[05:16] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: thanks
[05:16] <myron> deuxpi: My /etc/hostname file reads "ubuntu" and my /etc/hosts file reads "<IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu" and I have also tried replacing ubuntu with localhost in the /etc/hosts file, but either way I receive the sudo error
[05:16] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, ^
[05:17] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, hm?
[05:17] <Kimi> devilsadvocate is Odesk for Gtalk voice chat ?
[05:18] <oDesk> Kimi, ?
[05:18] <Kimi> OOPS !! sorrry..  i thought oDesk is the software name as Devilsadvo mentioned it sorrryyyy

[05:18] <MHz128> yo yo yo
[05:19] <MHz128> how do I install GTK 2.12 for compiling aurora themes....?
[05:19] <bigrigger> myron: in /etc/hosts put ubuntu after the <IP_ADDRESS> line, the second line, first line is localhost
[05:19] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: /dev/sda7 /mnt/F_DRIVE ntfs defaults,ro 0 1 is this the line I have to paste into /etc/fstab ?
[05:19] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, no.. its not. landell might be, so is telepathy-client
[05:19] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, yes.
[05:19] <Kimi> devilsadvocate... plz give me to its official download page.... or is it in synpatic ?
[05:20] <RalphSpencer> Ok thanks
[05:20] <tritium> MHz128: sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev
[05:20] <myron> bigrigger: do you mean <IP_ADDRESS>? If so, I have tried my /etc/hosts file like that, but sudo still gave me the unable to resolve host error.
[05:20] <MHz128> sorry, what was that
[05:20] <RalphSpencer> Now rebooting should do things all right, eh?
[05:21] <tritium> MHz128: sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev.  Don't leave so fast next time.  ;)
[05:21] <jlink> lack. How do I go back to the old resolution now?
[05:21] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, its in synaptic
[05:21] <eltimbalino_> Hi All, I would like to rename my fstab file, but I get the error "you are not the owner" Can anyone post a link to a help section on this?
[05:21] <MHz128> tritium, sloppy mouse work... my fault!
[05:21] <jlink> ...I was messing around with my screen resolution, and now my screen is all black. How do I go back to the old resolution now?
[05:21] <tritium> MHz128: no worries
[05:21] <RalphSpencer> brb
[05:21] <MHz128> tritium, 1.2?
[05:21] <bigrigger> myron: first line <IP_ADDRESS> localhost, line two <IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu
[05:21] <Brandon_> !wine | brandon
[05:22] <tritium> MHz128: that's the version you asked for above...
[05:22] <tritium> MHz128: ah, my bad.  Sorry.
[05:22] <MHz128> I guess the latest version would be of more use?
[05:22] <myron> bigrigger: just clarifying that second line is <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[05:22] <bigrigger> eltimbalino_: do not rename fstab!
[05:22] <ReLieC_93_> hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[05:22] <bigrigger> myron: correct
[05:23] <tritium> MHz128: the latest I see in the repos is libgtk2.0-dev
[05:23] <myron> bigrigger: I think I had it set up that way, I'll check to be sure... I'll be back in a minute
[05:23] <eltimbalino_> Thanks bigrigger, but I want to rename fstab_backup to fstab and rename fstab to fstab_failed
[05:23] <jlink> If my screen went completely black during a resolution change, how do I switch back?
[05:24] <Kimi> landell is not in synpatic
[05:24] <KillerOrca> jlink, ctrl + alt + backspace restarts X I believe
[05:24] <Kimi> devilsadvocate landell is not in synaptic
[05:24] <nate_> Hi I am having trouble with my e-SATA PCI Express card for my laptop. Can anyone help me because i need to mount my hard drive
[05:24] <jlink> KillerOrca: Nothing's coming up on my screen :/
[05:25] <jlink> The green light's on, but nothing's showing up
[05:25] <devilsadvocate> kimi - telepathy-client . landell is pretty old, i dont know if it still exists etc
[05:25] <KillerOrca> jlink, no if you hit those keys it should restart your graphics, give it a shot
[05:26] <jlink> KillerOrca: I did.
[05:26] <Kimi> devilsadvocate in synaptic , telepathy shows many results ... which one to install
[05:26] <KillerOrca> jlink, ok try ctrl + alt +f1
[05:27] <jlink> KillerOrca: Doesn't work either.
[05:28] <jlink> KillerOrca: I just rebooted my machine, and after sitting at the login screen for a few seconds, the screen went irreversibly black again.
[05:28] <Kimi> devilsadvocate there are many telepathy in synaptic..... how to choose and install ?? i mean which ones to install ??
[05:28] <KillerOrca> jlink, strange that should take you to a terminal, when you reboot do you see the splash menu?
[05:28] <bullgard4> "smb: \> get config.autosave; NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \config.autosave" How can I get rid of this error message? (I have googled for it for hours and cannot find a remedy.)
[05:29] <julian> can anyone suggest some video effects programs
[05:29] <Kimi> devilsadvocate what do you say about this link ? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-voice-chat-with-google-talk-user-using-empathy.html
[05:29] <Dreamglider> julian, visual effect ?
[05:30] <MHz128> While using the command line, what does "./" mean..... thats period-dot-slash
[05:30] <julian> creatina movie with special effects, like adobe after effects
[05:30] <myron> bigrigger: I just double checked. I changed line 1 to "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost" and line 2 to " <IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu" I still receive the unable to resolve host error from sudo
[05:30] <jlink> KillerOrca: I fixed it. I rebooted, then logged in as quick as possible and changed the res before it went black again
[05:30] <jlink> Now I gotta figure out how to get my WoW working in WINE
[05:30] <Dreamglider> MHz128,  that's a hidden file/folder
[05:31] <MHz128> Dreamglider, what about when it's in front of a command like ./configure
[05:31] <Dreamglider> MHz128, o im probably wrong sorry
[05:31] <nisink> means execute it
[05:32] <KillerOrca> jlink, that's one way to do it I guess, If your card can support WoW then you should be able to install wine and get it working
[05:32] <tritium> MHz128: it's used because the current working directory is not in your path, so you need to specify it to run configure, or whichever you're trying to run, from the directory you're in.
[05:32] <jlink> What's the ATI drivers called in Ubuntu?
[05:32] <jlink> Not the proprietary ones
[05:33] <MHz128> tritium, oh, so where would configure be?
[05:33] <KillerOrca> jlink, not sure, you might have to wait until the forums are up again, my googles are returning helpful looking dead links
[05:33] <saxofoner> http://pastebin.com/m5e786f69 this is what my partitions look like, http://pastebin.com/m12c47d3f is my broken (errors for arch) menu.lst   I want to be able to boot archlinux.  any help?
[05:33] <uciek> yureka
[05:34] <tritium> MHz128: in the directory of the source you unpacked
[05:34] <MHz128> oh
[05:34] <jlink> Great
[05:35] <KillerOrca> jlink, this might be some help http://appdb.winehq.org/
[05:35] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, sorry.. i was otherwise distracted for a while. Yes, that link looks good :) let me know if it works out for you :)
[05:35] <Kimi> devilsadvocate okk
[05:36] <bigrigger> eltimbalino_:  sudo mv /etc/fstab  /home/$USER/fstab_failed ; sudo mv /etc/fstab_backup /etc/fstab
[05:36] <millertime_018> hey does anyone know if there's a way to get around a built in HDD user password?
[05:37] <xorl> millertime_018: what do you mean by that?
[05:37] <bigrigger> myron: try typing hostname ubuntu
[05:37] <jlink> KillerOrca: I think I'm having graphical problems, to tell you the truth. When I load WoW, I'm getting all sorts of crazy crap happening on my screen
[05:37] <millertime_018> it comes up at the start and the girl that wants me to fix it for her said she forgot it
[05:37] <jlink> KillerOrca: I can't even really navigate the menus or anything
[05:37] <n2diy> does abiword do syntax checking?
[05:37] <devilsadvocate> millertime_018, is that a hdd password or bios password?
[05:37] <millertime_018> xorl: a HDD password
[05:37] <KillerOrca> jlink, in the link I sent there is a section for WoW, in there they have ATI card fixes, I would try those
[05:38] <jlink> KillerOrca: I think this site has stuff on it... nevermind, what you just said, about WoW. Thanks
[05:38] <myron> bigrigger: but that would just set my host name to ubnutu temporarily (which it already is0
[05:38] <millertime_018> devilsadvocate: HDD password
[05:39] <lanteau> anyone in here use a bluetooth headset with ubuntu?
[05:39] <bigrigger> myron: i know, but i don't know what else might work.
[05:39] <xorl> millertime_018: Well there are many types of "HDD" passwords, bios based hdd protection, encrypted volumes, what?
[05:39] <bullgard4> "smb: \> get config.autosave; NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \config.autosave" How can I get rid of this error message? (I have googled for it for hours and cannot find a remedy.)
[05:40] <bigrigger> millertime_018: a bios password?
[05:40] <millertime_018> it's not an encrypted volume... i think it may be bios based
[05:40] <myron> bigrigger: I tried it, but it still gave an unable to resolve host error
[05:40] <millertime_018> bigrigger: no not bios password, HDD password
[05:40] <ScottG489> How can I get ubuntu to recognise my laptops webcam and mic?
[05:40] <B|ackPanther> How can i have one desktop panel that contains the "applications places system " menuitems and also add new opened windows to the panel ?
[05:41] <millertime_018> xorl: well it just comes up with a password prompt at startup, please enter built-in HDD password
[05:41] <millertime_018> like right when I start up
[05:41] <Kimi> devilsadvocate Hey..!! it worked champ..! i did solve it myself B-)
[05:41] <n2diy> BlackPanther, don't you have two panels?
[05:41] <Kimi> Devilsadvocate : are you there ? it worked ... hurrrah !
[05:41] <myron> bigrigger: I wonder if there is a sudo configuration that I could check?
[05:41] <bigrigger> myron: wild guess but use tabs between the entries in /etc/hosts and be sure /etc/hostname matches
[05:42] <KillerOrca> leave
[05:42] <jlink> KillerOrca: It seems I'm having even larger problems than I thought. My screen is white with grey pinstripes all over it.
[05:42] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: doesn't nautilus/konqueror use the smbclient ?
[05:42] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, afaik it does.
[05:42] <millertime_018> xorl: hello?
[05:42] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, nice. /me installs :)
[05:42] <myron> bigrigger: ok I'll try to put tabs between the entries
[05:43] <silv3r_m00n> then xmbrowser , xmb4k and tksmb all work ... but nautilus doesn't
[05:43] <silv3r_m00n> why ?
[05:43] <moDumass> hey you guys drink coffee - im looking for a channel to help me not break my new espresso machine on first try - any help since #coffee is up to FA
[05:43] <Kimi> devilsadvocate ok..

[05:43] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: smb://workgroup/   << this shows blank in konqueror and nautilus but the rest 3 utilities show all computers on share
[05:43] <Kimi> what happened to ubuntu forum ? :( :-(
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> errr, is there any ubuntu tutes out there for beginners :S
[05:44] <juniecho> kimi//maybe going through some fix :)
[05:44] <Kimi> ok.. B-)
[05:44] <rww> Kimi: It's experiencing technical difficulties right now. That happens pretty frequently. Should be back up soon.
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> i've just installed ubuntu 8.10
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> test
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> "S
[05:44] <myron> bigrigger: yeah, I've been rebooting after  most changes (except "hostname ubuntu") which shouldn't require a reboot. I'll be right back
[05:44] <rww> Myztikal_1: hi
[05:44] <Kimi> devilsadvocate have you installed gtalk alternative ?? any quick tip for me ?
[05:44] <juniecho> hi guys how do i prevent adobe flash player from being updated? i want to hold current version but sudo aptitude hold adobe-flashplugin didn't work, couldn't find the package with that name.
[05:44] <n2diy> does abiword do syntax checking?
[05:45] <Myztikal_1> err how do i use this sudo thingo?
[05:45] <rww> juniecho: the package name should be "flashplugin-nonfree"
[05:45] <rww> Myztikal_1: sudo command_to_run_as_root_here
[05:45] <rww> Myztikal_1: or gksudo command_to_run_as_root for non-terminal programs
[05:45] <Myztikal_1> like for example i want to get the common plugins for firefox
[05:45] <n2diy> Myztikal_1: open a terminial, and type sudo commandname
[05:45] <juniecho> rww, even if it appears as adobe-flashplugin in synaptic?
[05:45] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, not right now
[05:46] <Myztikal_1> where can i get a list of the command names
[05:46] <millertime_018> hellO?
[05:46] <eamon> stronzo
[05:46] <Myztikal_1> i'm another ubuntu firstime user
[05:46] <DIFH-iceroot> millertime_018: hello
[05:46] <n2diy> Myztikal_1: open a terminial, and type man bash?
[05:46] <eamon>  you asshole
[05:46] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: in xsmbrowser even my computer is shown... how do I disable that
[05:46] <rww> !ohmy > eamon
[05:47] <rww> juniecho: there is no adobe-flashplugin package in the Ubuntu repositories =/
[05:47] <bigrigger> myron: did you edit network manager settings? like domain name
[05:47] <eamon> screw you you loser
[05:47] <n2diy> !ops
[05:47] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: of course there is  adobe-flashplugin = flash 10  flashplugin-nonfree=flash 9
[05:47] <tritium> n2diy: I already removed him
[05:48] <n2diy> tritium: 10-4
[05:48] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=adobe-flashplugin
[05:48] <tritium> rww: flashplugin-nonfree
[05:48] <Myztikal_1> !list
[05:48] <rww> tritium: I know, I said that.
[05:48] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, no idea. not sure if its even possible ...
[05:48] <tritium> rww: if you can't find a package, use apt-cache searxch
[05:48] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: michael@eeebuntu:~$ apt-cache search adobe-flashplugin
[05:48] <DIFH-iceroot> adobe-flashplugin - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
[05:49] <bigrigger> tritium: rww knows that.
[05:49] <juniecho> rww, i ran sudo aptitude hold flashplugin-nonfree, but it is gonna remove two packages! is it normal?
[05:49] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: why ... I shud have an option to keep my computer out of network visibility ... or is that that xsmbrowser just shows it to me.
[05:49] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: its 8.10 and 8.04 backport
[05:49] <juniecho> it says "  localechooser-data{u} thunderbird-locale-en-gb{u} " are going to be removed, is it okay to just proceed?
[05:49] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, oh, you want to disable samba server, in a manner of  speaking
[05:50] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, im not entirely sure how that is done
[05:50] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: I'm guessing it's in the partner repository, because it sure isn't in any of the normal ones.
[05:50] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: I need to access other machines ... the others don't need to access me
[05:50] <bluestaze> y
[05:50] <rww> juniecho: Which two?
[05:50] <silv3r_m00n> me on ubuntu rest on windows
[05:50] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: yes, partner-repo
[05:51] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i understand. i just dont remember how its done. you'll have to look into samba configuration
[05:51] <juniecho> rww, it says "  localechooser-data{u} thunderbird-locale-en-gb{u} " are going to be removed, is it okay to just proceed?
[05:51] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: looks like that
[05:51] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i see an app called system-settings-samba .  that might help?
[05:51] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: http://archive.canonical.com hardy/partner Packages
[05:51] <n2diy> I want to create a webpage, but I can't figure out if abiword will do syntax checking. I'm running Xubuntu, so what would be my second best option for a text editor?
[05:51] <B|ackPanther> what application do i have to run to show all open windows ,something GUI based like a panel
[05:51] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: by the way this tool TkSmb just display at one shot and then no options no menus nothing
[05:52] <nisink> Hey I'm doing some research and was wondering if anyone has a few seconds to take a short survey. It can be found here: http://www.theofficeoutletonline.com/survey.html
[05:52] <jlink> Alright, this is getting dumb. After about 5 minutes of every reboot, my screen turns completely white with dark gray stripes down it. It's obviously a video issue, but I don't even know where to begin
[05:52] <nisink> Thanks
[05:52] <FloodBot2> nisink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:52] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: and canoncial = ubuntu, so there is adobe-flashplugin in the ubuntu-repos :)
[05:52] <myron> bigrigger: i just rebooted after the tabs, no luck
[05:52] <bigrigger> myron: did you edit network manager settings? like domain name
[05:52] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: Canonical does not equal Ubuntu. But, this is wandering off-topic.
[05:53] <devilsadvocate> ok, i need some help with ICS. everything works fine, except DNS resolutions dont happen from applications.. an nslookup from terminal does work, though
[05:53] <rww> juniecho: those should be okay to remove, yes.
[05:53] <juniecho> DIFH-iceroot, i manually downloaded adobe flash player from adobe.com, maybe that's why i have this package named adobe-flashplugin. hmm. but sudo aptitude hold adobe-flashplugin does not work, and it works with flashplugin-nonfree. strange.
[05:53] <DIFH-iceroot> n2diy: please dont use abiword, openoffice or something like that for a web-page, please use vi,gedit,kate,kwrite oder mozilla nvu as wysiwyg-html-editor
[05:54] <myron> bigrigger: no there is no domain name, it is blank
[05:54] <DIFH-iceroot> juniecho: as i said, adobe-flashplugin = flash 10, flashplugin-nonfree = flash 9
[05:54] <juniecho> rww, how can i confirm if i sucessfully issued hold on adobe flash player package?
[05:54] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: do you know how samba discovers nodes... does it do somekind of broadcasting ?
[05:54] <bigrigger> myron: it's a bug i don't know how to fix.
[05:55] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, there is this microsoft-ds port open on stuff with samba shares, i believe that is what is responsible
[05:55] <juniecho> i think i should not update this package... that package in repo causes problems when i watch viral videos :(
[05:55] <myron> bigrigger: I know, do you know anything about the actual sudo configuration?
[05:55] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, there is no broadcasting perse, from what i know of, but they work only within a domain

[05:56] <n2diy> DIFH-iceroot: ok, thats cool. Do they all do syntax highlighting/checking?
[05:56] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: how does that proceed ?
[05:56] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i dont know
[05:56] <rww> juniecho: "aptitude search ~ahold", I think.
[05:56] <DIFH-iceroot> n2diy: not checking but highlighting
[05:56] <DIFH-iceroot> n2diy: for syntax-check use the w3c validator
[05:56] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: hmm ... well here in smb4k I see that for some computers the ip is also shown and not for some ... what difference does that indicate ?
[05:56] <bigrigger> n2diy: try bluefish or screem
[05:56] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, kblin might be able to help, i dnt know which channels he hangs out on though
[05:57] <juniecho> rww, it generates no result. does it mean no packages are held at this time?
[05:57] <silv3r_m00n> n2diy: try aptana studio
[05:57] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: who's is kblin ?
[05:57] <nisink> #join /linux
[05:57] <silv3r_m00n> who is*

[05:58] <n2diy> ok, as usual, my simple quest has turned into a research project, linux is cool, thanks.
[05:58] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: fine .. let me go there
[05:58] <myron> bigrigger: ok, thanks for the help

[06:06] <ziroday> Hi, my system uncleanly shutdown causing a fsck on the next boot. It found errors and dropped me into a maintenance shell and told me to do a manual fsck. How do I do that?
[06:06] <tritium> jlink: do the open-source ati drivers not work for your needs?>
[06:07] <ziroday> and should I be worried?
[06:07] <juniecho> tritium, isn't that 3d features are only supported through proprietary drivers?
[06:07] <jlink> tritium: Honestly, I dont know.

[06:12] <tritium> jlink: which release of ubuntu are you running?
[06:13] <jlink> 8.10 Desktop 64bit
[06:13] <juniecho> jlink too bad... hmm i heard ati's support for linux is kinda bad, actually i'm a nvidia user and had no problems with their drivers so far ...
[06:13] <musikgoat> bullgard4: if your in a workgroup, try seeing if you get a list of shares and workgroup info with smbclient -L \\localhost
[06:13] <bobbie4> the ubuntu rocks my world
[06:13] <jlink> It seems hit or miss, mostly miss right now

[06:14] <seektherapy> I cant understand what i am doing wrong.. i am trying to install php, apache and mysql.. and i think i am doing this wrong
[06:15] <seektherapy> can someone help
[06:15] <tritium> seektherapy: are you installing it on ubuntu server?
[06:15] <balarka> hello
[06:15] <musikgoat> bullgard4: or you cannot write to the remote location
[06:15] <balarka> can anyone suggest latest pango-devel package on ubuntu
[06:15] <jlink> tritium: Honestly, I'm not sure why I went 64bit instead of 32bit. I've got 4GB of ram, which is the limit for 32bit, so I'm not sure if I'll actually lose anything by switching.
[06:15] <seektherapy> yes.. hold on.. i need let my dog outside
[06:15] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, had something similar, turned out to be a multicast-DNS issue. Your domain doesn't end in .local by any chance?
[06:16] <tritium> jlink: you might try the 32-bit version.
[06:16] <gartral> why does the ubuntu system monitor take between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running?

[06:16] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, not that i know of

[06:16] <Slart> jlink: you will lose some memory then
[06:16] <bobbie4> Ubuntu and McEwan's Scotch. A lovely combination if I do say so myself
[06:16] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, oh wait. routes has <hostname>.l and gets cut off there
[06:17] <tritium> juniecho: 3 GB
[06:17] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, how do i change that/why did that happen? :/
[06:17] <musikgoat> bullgard4: are you attempting to write to something you have permission to write to?
[06:17] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, ok. "all applications" include things like ping? just wondering if it's a proxy issue rather than a DNS one.
[06:17] <Slart> jlink: 4GB is max but it uses some of that for hardware mapping and such... usually you get about 3G usable memory
[06:17] <Dreamglider> Slart, double click it
[06:17] <juniecho> tritium thanks
[06:17] <tritium> juniecho: aye.  For more info, see what Slart said above.
[06:17] <Slart> Dreamglider: huh?
[06:18] <bullgard4> musikgoat: No, I do not think so. I was trying to get a file from a neighboring Ubuntu laptop computer.
[06:18] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, any domain ending in .local is assumed to use multicast DNS. look at  /etc/host.conf, check for "multi" and remove it (back up file first!
[06:18] <B|ackPanther> How can i get the panel to dispaly just icons not names ?
[06:18] <jlink> Is there any difference between 32bit and 64bit, besides the RAM limit>
[06:18] <Dreamglider> Slart, sry that was for xSlack
[06:18] <juniecho> tritium, slart, thanks but this is strange. i have 4gb of ram and am on 32bit, it shows only 2.8GiB of ram total...!?
[06:18] <tritium> jlink: flash and java used to be less supported on 64-bit.  I'm not sure of the status on those now.
[06:18] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, i'll try that. setup is a little too complicated to try and explain, esp. if its something mroe trivial :)
[06:18] <Slart> Dreamglider: ah =)
[06:18] <musikgoat> bullgard4: the other computer might be sharing read-only
[06:18] <musikgoat> bullgard4: you'd have to change that setting
[06:19] <Slart> juniecho: yup.. how much graphics memory do you have?
[06:19] <balarka> folks, anyone here working on java-gnome project?
[06:19] <juniecho> slart, i don't have dedicated graphic memory... assigned 128mb ram for graphic. do you think that's the reason?
[06:19] <Thi> tritium, flash is better supported in 64 bit under a recent version 10 build if I remember correctly
[06:19] <jlink> tritium: Are there any benefits to 64bit over 32bit?
[06:19] <gartral> juniecho: i technically have 512 in my system, but ubuntu only sees 502 mb
[06:20] <juniecho> jlink, it is slightly faster
[06:20] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, do i need to restart network after that?
[06:20] <musikgoat> gartral: your video card might be using ram
[06:20] <Slart> juniecho: that might be one thing.. it probably uses memory for other things too
[06:20] <jshriver> anyone know what the deal is with Flash and Firefox and no sound?
[06:20] <jshriver> just went through maybe 20 sites, and nothing works
[06:20] <gartral> jlink: more threads per proc is the main one, but the bi advantage comes if you want *more* than 4 gigs of ram
[06:20] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate,  shouldn't. try "ping", it uses the resolver lib, so it should indicate if it's working or not.
[06:20] <Slart> juniecho: or rather.. it doesn't use the memory but it uses up the addresses
[06:20] <tritium> jlink: no performance gains, just larger address space
[06:20] <seektherapy> ok back tritium
[06:20] <gartral> why does the ubuntu system monitor take between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running?
[06:20] <juniecho> Slart what does it mean? i'm not a computer expert :(
[06:21] <seektherapy> can you just help me uninstalled it all .. then reinstall
[06:21] <seektherapy> join the juniecho
[06:21] <seektherapy> club
[06:21] <tritium> seektherapy: have you seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ?
[06:22] <juniecho> and one more question, it is possible to use native linux programs on windows?
[06:22] <musikgoat> juniecho: cygwin
[06:22] <Slart> juniecho: ok, just to simplify things... say your computer can address memory from 1 to 10.. you've got 10 bytes of memory too.. ok?
[06:23] <Slart> juniecho: so far so good.. you want to see what is in memory cell 1 you ask for memory "1".. and so on.. you can read all your memory, nothing is wasted
[06:24] <juniecho> slart... yeah :)
[06:24] <arnducky> What's the command to show the installed version of *Ubuntu* (I don't mean uname)?
[06:24] <uid01> uname -a
[06:24] <prince_jammys> arnducky: lsb_release -a
[06:24] <bullgard4> musikgoat: On the neighboring computer: smb.conf includes the lines: "path = /home/detlef/freigegebenMD; guest ok = yes; read only = no; available = yes; browsable = yes; public = yes; writable = yes". So I guess that my serving computer is configured correctly. I am rather concerned with the slave computer:  "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to <IP_ADDRESS> (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error
[06:24] <Slart> juniecho: but now you connect something to your computer.. it's a electronic display that displays one number only..(like a score board but with only one teams score).. you then say that everything you write into memory cell "10" will end up on the scoreboard..
[06:25] <juniecho> :)
[06:25] <Newbuntu> how do i search a file for specific string?
[06:25] <ubuntu__> hello!
[06:25] <seektherapy> i used this tritium http://ubuntuexperiment.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/installing-apache-php-mysql/#comment-204
[06:25] <Slart> juniecho: so if you write a 5 to memory cell "10" the scoreboard will show a big 5.. this is great.. you can use you electronic scoreboard..  but how do you now access your real memory cell "10" ? you can't
[06:26] <bullgard4> Newbuntu: Use the grep command.
[06:26] <militant_> Newbuntu, 'grep string file'
[06:26] <Newbuntu> ty
[06:26] <jlink> I think I have some serious hardware issues going on here. What the heck
[06:26] <Newbuntu> do i need to be in the files dir to run the command?
[06:26] <seektherapy> i just want to uninstall and start over again
[06:26] <Slart> juniecho: so by connecting the scoreboard your computer can now only use 9 bytes of memory
[06:26] <militant_> Newbuntu, yes, or you can specify the path to it as part of the filename to search
[06:27] <jlink> I have the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 32bit live CD in my drive. I'm running Ubuntu straight from it. After a few seconds of bootup, the screen goes black.
[06:27] <militant_> Newbuntu, it's more common to grep a directory to find out what file(s) have a specific string
[06:27] <bullgard4> Newbuntu: No.
[06:27] <gartral> anyone know why the ubuntu system monitor takes between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running?
[06:27] <sprinkmeier_> gartral, run "top" in a terminal. who's the culprit?
[06:28] <prince_jammys> heh
[06:28] <jlink> gartral: Are you sure it isn't just soaking up idle time? There's something like that in Windows too
[06:28] <Slart> juniecho: it's the same thing in your real computer.. graphics memory is mapped into those 4GB you can address.. also other things.. probably your audio card, printer bla bla bla
[06:28] <Newbuntu> so if i were too grep string / i'd search the entire system?
[06:28] <bullgard4> gartral: Because it is programmed so that it takes so many ressources. It updates graphics too often.
[06:28] <prince_jammys> Newbuntu: no, you'd need to tell grep that you want it done recursively
[06:28] <seektherapy> actually tritium it appears that all the links are working to test the installation
[06:28] <Newbuntu> -r?
[06:28] <militant_> Newbuntu, no, you'd only search the root directory, and only if you had permissions to do so.  you'd have to specify recursiveness
[06:29] <prince_jammys> Newbuntu: then you'd wait an hour or so :) yes, -r
[06:29] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, sadly, that did not work :( . its strange though - it seems local addresses resolve. internet ones dont.
[06:29] <Newbuntu> ok ty
[06:29] <gartral> sprinkmeier_: i said system monitor, system monitor shows itself as running between %45 and %60 at all times that its up, if i close it, everything calms down
[06:29] <ubuntu__> while i tried to install arch yesterday, the filesystem on my kubuntu partition changed from ext3 to ext4 somehow without formating anything. fstab still say it's ext3, but to mount it i have to append "-t ext3" to the mount command. now i can't boot kubuntu anymore, i get the error "mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /root failed: no such device."... There are some more error messages like "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" or "No init
[06:29] <ubuntu__> found. Try passing init=bootarg", and afterwards i am droped to the built in shell (ash) with the prompt "(initramfs)"... Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
[06:29] <seektherapy> but i am having problems installing wordpress and that working
[06:29] <sprinkmeier_> gartral, depending on video drivers, update rate and eye-candy ubuntu system monitor can soak up a lot of CPU. slow it down, or use "top" instead.
[06:29] <gartral> bullgard4: ahh, is that why the names all go blank when i scroll?
[06:30] <neptunepink> My computer loses 3 seconds every second, how to fix?
[06:30] <bullgard4> gartral: I believe so, yes.
[06:30] <gartral> sprinkmeier_: i have visual themes disabled, and im running restricted drivers for a legacy nvidia card
[06:30] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, can you pastebin /etc/resolv/conf, /etc/host.conf, the output if "host www.ibm.com" (or similar) and the output of "ping www.ibm.com"?
[06:30] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, ok. the dns setup i usually work for some reason is not working in this setup : generally DNS A gives me local addresses, and if its internet it sends a not available and it goes  to DNS B. i made DNS B the default and ping works. local addresses wont resolve now, though
[06:31] <bullgard4> neptunepink: Please be more precise in describing what do you mean by " My computer loses 3 seconds every second"
[06:31] <stealth-> anyone know how well terminator works in KDE?
[06:31] <juniecho> slart, kinda hard but you mean it is not wasted, but reserved, or occupied by other 'devices'?

[06:32] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, so its now usable enough .. i know all the required stuff by IP. thanks for the help :)
[06:32] <Slart> juniecho: it isn't used.. but you can't access it
[06:32] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, I though this sort of thing was usually handled with a split-brain DNS rather than getting the client to do the work (not a DNS expert by any means....)
[06:32] <bullgard4> stealth-: The people in #kubuntu probably can tell you better than people here.
[06:32] <Slart> juniecho: which really comes down to the same thing for you.. it's not usable
[06:33] <stealth-> bullgard4: I asked there too, but that channels usually dead :(
[06:33] <gartral> bullgard4: ok, so how do i replace the tray's system "widget's" double click function to use gtop or such?
[06:33] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, the setup we have here is wierd. hopefully it'll get fixed soon. we moved to a fully NATed network just recently
[06:34] <juniecho> slart oh i understand................... :( so it is something like... a dead space?
[06:34] <Slart> juniecho: something like that
[06:34] <juniecho> slart: oh yeah......................... too bad :(
[06:35] <militant_> someone up for hitting my gallery and just seeing if it's accessible/working?
[06:38] <arnducky> prince_jammys, TYVM =)
[06:39] <prince_jammys> arnducky: welcome
[06:39] <obeam>  hello
[06:39] <JonathanWeber> hm can you even tell me how i can convert an ext4dev parttion, that isn't really ext4, back to ext3??
[06:40] <Thi> Question about dhcdbd on 8.04.2.  Which object is /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket linked to?  What type of link is it? See pastebin for details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/134656/
[06:40] <obeam> anyone here?
[06:42] <seektherapy> why am i not able to extract wordpress to www.. it tells me i do not have permission
[06:42] <sarmisak> seektherapy: user www-data owns that folder, try becoming root
[06:43] <stealth-> whats the gnome terminal called?
[06:43] <Boohbah> stealth-: gnome-terminal
[06:43] <tritium> stealth-: gnome-terminal
[06:43] <stealth-> thanks
[06:43] <madmike> #skype
[06:43] <madmike> whoops
[06:44] <seektherapy> i am the root.. maybe i am not understanding what you are telling me
[06:44] <sprinkmeier_> JonathanWeber, back up, reformat, restore. if it's a dev partition it's not guaranteed to be stable, you're probably better off with a fresh ext3
[06:44] <Boohbah> seektherapy: do you have write permission on the directory?
[06:44] <seektherapy> i should
[06:44] <seektherapy> how can i change this
[06:46] <Kimi> Emphathy - no outgoing voice .... but getting incoming voice
[06:46] <JonathanWeber> but i've never formated the partition in ext4
[06:46] <JonathanWeber> it just got so through the arch installation
[06:47] <seektherapy> i can sudo just fine
[06:48] <MHz128> how do I extract an html to blu-ray?
[06:48] <MHz128> hahahahaha
[06:48] <MHz128> just kidding
[06:48] <Newbuntu> ok non linux question
[06:48] <Newbuntu> on xchat how do i get into an irc channel thats not in the list wehn i selet connect?
[06:48] <tritium> Newbuntu: stay on topic, please
[06:49] <MHz128> how do I dual boot Ubuntu from my Nokia running BSD
[06:49] <Newbuntu> Tritium, wow that was fast\
[06:49] <Dreamglider> Newbuntu, type /j #channel
[06:49] <Kimi> Empathy - no outgoing voice .... but getting incoming voice for gtalk account
[06:49] <Dreamglider> Newbuntu, type /j #channel
[06:49] <A-KO> Is there a way to start a process as a specified user via an init script? In Gentoo there's start-stop-daemon to do this for applications that don't support it.
[06:50] <prince_jammys> A-KO: ubuntu comes with start-stop-daemon also
[06:50] <A-KO> oh? alright.
[06:50] <tritium> Newbuntu: you gave advanced warning it was a non-linux question.
[06:50] <Newbuntu> i want a whole new server not just a new channel
[06:50] <seektherapy> ok.. let me a something else.. Since i am new at linux ..Where should my www folder go.. should it be in var/ww
[06:50] <seektherapy> w
[06:50] <Newbuntu> oh haha
[06:50] <tritium> A-KO: init scripts can be configured with update-rc.d
[06:50] <A-KO> datbase error on ubuntuforums.org btw
[06:51] <tritium> A-KO: known issue
[06:51] <Dreamglider> Newbuntu, you can /server irc.ubuntu.net
[06:51] <prince_jammys> A-KO: use google's cache
[06:51] <firewallnoob> What easy to use firewall do people recommend for Desktop?
[06:51] <prince_jammys> A-KO: .. if you're looking up a page and not posting
[06:52] <prince_jammys> !firewall | firewallnoob
[06:52] <Dreamglider> Newbuntu, or add a server. Ctrl+s > Alt+a > Alt+e
[06:53] <seektherapy> sorry, let me rephrase .. i am new at linux ..Where should my www folder go.. should it be in var/www..  apparently i am new at english and grammer too
[06:53] <firewallnoob> prince_jammys: thanks. Firestarter for noobs without KDE then?
[06:54] <gartral> bullgard4: ok, so how do i replace the tray's system "widget's" double click function to use gtop or such?
[06:54] <rww> firewallnoob: If you're using Intrepid or Jaunty, try gufw. It's a lot less buggy than firestarter.
[06:55] <firewallnoob> rww: I'm using 8.04 - I think it's called "Hardon" or something
[06:55] <prince_jammys> :)
[06:56] <rww> firewallnoob: hardy ;). gufw is in hardy-backports, if you'd like to try it out. I didn't use Hardy much, so I don't know if Firestarter is more reasonable on it.
[06:56] <gartral> heeelllppp, bash says "command unmount does not exist"
[06:56] <prince_jammys> gartral: umount
[06:56] <lstarnes> gartral: umount
[06:57] <seektherapy> I knew if i came in here.. it would take f'n hours for someone to want to help me
[06:59] <firewallnoob> Strange... If I go through the Firewall wizard in Firestarter, it never asks me what ports to allow/deny and what programs to allow to connect, etc.? Am I missing something?
[07:00] <bullgard4> gartral: I don't know. Sorry.
[07:00] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, are you sure you need a FW? if you're behind a NAT gateway then chances are you don't.
[07:00] <amitz> where can I get information on how compatible AMD 780g with ubuntu 9.04?
[07:01] <sprinkmeier_> gartral, umount, not unmount
[07:01] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: I basically want to control what programs can access the internet, e.g. I don't want Wine apps to access the internet, etc.
[07:01] <amitz> In other words, what's the official hardware compatibility list or something like that?
[07:01] <poet> any ideas for finding hardware not detected by lspci
[07:01] <rww> !hcl | amitz
[07:02] <amitz> thanks rww
[07:02] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, I'm not sure that the simple firewall tools allow such skullduggery.
[07:03] <poet> any ideas for finding hardware not detected by lspci?  I know the hardware is supported, but I believe a recent upgrade broke something
[07:03] <pretender> Is there a way to reset the top panel back to defaults
[07:03] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: what are the simplest ones that do then, if any?
[07:04] <bullgard4> neptunepink: I believe that the message " Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 507264222 ns)" is not a sufficient reason to state: " My computer loses 3 seconds every second". My advice: First find out the reason for the message: "Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 507264222 ns)" My guess: the reason might be a wrong ACPI.
[07:04] <bobbie4> I'm back and I Like the ubuntu because it is good for me and you
[07:04] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, I tend to end up using the commandline for most thinks (OldSkool :-)
[07:04] <poet> do I have voice?
[07:05] <seektherapy> its a real sick wonder why not many woman try using Ubuntu or get into computers in general..
[07:05] <joot> seektherapy; What are you trying to do??
[07:05] <cjae> !permissions
[07:06] <seektherapy> nothing joot .. tired of trying to get help... and once again i am getting bored with begging. learning and asking
[07:06] <firewallnoob> is ubuntuforums.org down ?
[07:06] <Shinu> Yes
[07:06] <Shinu> DB error
[07:06] <bobbie4> seektherapy:  I know what you're talking about
[07:07] <poet> do I have voice?
[07:07] <firewallnoob> poet: affirmative
[07:07] <bullgard4> poet: lspci does not detect every hardware. Try sudo lshw. For example: 'sudo lshw -class disk'
[07:07] <joot> seektherapy; If I can help you I will but please do not make negative comments about the list
[07:08] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: does IPTABLES allow such per-application firewalling though? I don't want to spend time learning to use them, if they can't do what I need anyhow.
[07:08] <_Mik> Hi, is there a way to allow users to login with only a 4 digit pw?
[07:08] <poet> bullgard4: I've verified that it does not show up via lshw either
[07:08] <seektherapy> I am making a statement.. a factual one.. not many women are into Ubuntu because of the lack of support
[07:09] <joot> seektherapy; Not true..
[07:09] <gibxam> there seems to be lots of support for Ubuntu...
[07:09] <seektherapy> thankyou bobbie4
[07:09] <JessicaParker> hi can anyone assist with a ubuntu network install ?
[07:09] <Flannel> seektherapy: That's offtopic.  Please take it elsewhere.
[07:09] <poet> This piece of hardware is a Broadcom chip in my wireless card which I've been happily using via restricted drivers for the last 6 months.  However, now it appears to be gone.  I know it's supported, and i know the hardware has not failed because I booted into windows to check
[07:09] <JessicaParker> have a dell no cd no usb but want to install ubuntu
[07:10] <Flannel> !install | JessicaParker
[07:10] <Flannel> JessicaParker: the first link there has a number of methods, one should work for you.
[07:10] <JessicaParker> i have set up dhcp on one machine
[07:10] <JessicaParker> but the other machine cannot seem to find it
[07:10] <bullgard4> poet: What hardware is it specifically?
[07:10] <seektherapy> are you running windows now JessicaParker
[07:11] <poet> bullgard4: Broadcom 4321
[07:11] <JessicaParker> ive followed the steps on this here http://news.softpedia.com/news/Alternative-Installation-Methods-for-Hardy-86977.shtml
[07:11] <Flannel> seektherapy: Yes, your stuff goes in /var/www/  That folder is owned by root, you need to gain super user privledges to access it.
[07:11] <JessicaParker> no ubuntu and want ubuntu on the other one
[07:11] <Flannel> JessicaParker: Try the steps on the wiki.  Sometimes third party sites get things wrong
[07:11] <JessicaParker> the operating system on the dell is messed up so no os at all
[07:11] <seektherapy> try not asking for help in here .. this people aren't Real helpful
[07:12] <JessicaParker> im really stuck with teh dhcp configuration
[07:12] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: can you see this link: http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184
[07:12] <xy|ox> firewallnoob, iptables blocks or allow based on ports and protocols but no apps
[07:12] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: it's about Dell and Linux and ...
[07:12] <Kimi> empathy with gtalk.... getting incoming voice ... but no outgoing............ HELP
[07:13] <poet> Kimi: have you verified your microphone works
[07:13] <poet> with another program
[07:13] <firewallnoob> Can chroot be configured so that it blocks the internet
[07:13] <Kimi> yes
[07:13] <Kimi> i can hear songs
[07:13] <joot> seektherapy; you are just trolling go away
[07:13] <Kimi> poet how to test mic tell me
[07:13] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: there is no info on install nice story
[07:14] <poet> Kimi: wouldn't that be your speakers
[07:14] <rww> joot: he did, two minutes ago =/
[07:14] <Myztikal_> Is there a site that can help me understand how this repository thingo works?
[07:14] <joot> rww, cool
[07:14] <Flannel> !components | Myztikal_
[07:14] <Myztikal_> and how i can search through it and find specific things
[07:14] <Myztikal_> thanks
[07:14] <Flannel> Myztikal_: Ah.  This may be more topical
[07:14] <Flannel> !synaptic | Myztikal_
[07:14] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: she had Linux installed already but didn't know it. Are you sure you don't?
[07:14] <Myztikal_> getting my bearings around Ubuntu is proving difficult :
[07:14] <Myztikal_> :P
[07:14] <Kimi> poet how to test mic ?
[07:14] <bullgard4> poet: Did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom?
[07:14] <rww> Myztikal_: For searching, Synaptic or http://packages.ubuntu.com/ are useful.
[07:15] <poet> Kimi: Sound Recorder in your Sound and Video menu
[07:15] <JessicaParker> this is what i have on my dhcpd.conf file http://pastebin.com/m3ad36ac
[07:15] <Myztikal_> hmm, where would i find the plugins for firefox?
[07:15] <Flannel> Myztikal_: Synaptic is the graphical package manager, if you just want to learn about how to use the repositories, then Synaptic would likely be the thing you want to learn about first.
[07:15] <Myztikal_> ahh ic
[07:15] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: im not that stupid i had windows professional edition, tried to install ubuntu over it and its all broken
[07:15] <Myztikal_> i have a bague idea of what it is
[07:15] <cjae> I have an ntfs external drive and when I use ls -l it says brw-rw---- root disk 8, couldn't I just chmod 777 so everyone could read write execute?
[07:16] <Myztikal_> i just need to learn how to use it
[07:16] <JessicaParker> no none of the os will start
[07:16] <Flannel> Myztikal_: Right, that wiki page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[07:16] <Kimi> poet after recording, it just gets force quit
[07:16] <Flannel> Myztikal_: ) will walk you through its usage
[07:16] <Kimi> poet its not working for me
[07:16] <Myztikal_> thanks
[07:16] <poet> bullgard4: I've gotten it working in the past with ndiswrapper, and more recently with the official restricted driver released by Broadcom.  The issue here I believe is that Ubuntu has no idea the card exists.  This has never happened to me before and I've configured Ubuntu on this system many many times.  I know the card works because windows still detects
[07:16] <Myztikal_> is it just search for install file and download?
[07:17] <Myztikal_> type of setup?
[07:17] <Kimi> poet after recording where will be the saves ?
[07:17] <_Mik> How do i allow users to login w/less than 6 char. password?
[07:17] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: you tried netinstall or something like that?
[07:17] <poet> Kimi: there's your problem, it's not empethy it's your mic
[07:17] <poet> Kimi: you should be able to play it back right away after recording through the same interface
[07:17] <Kimi> ok
[07:17] <Kimi> wait
[07:17] <bullgard4> Myztikal_: Type in the command line of firefox: "about:plugins".
[07:18] <Kimi> poet how to delte it ? where is it ?
[07:19] <Kimi> poet i mean.. i recorded an empty file
[07:19] <Kimi> how to delte it ?
[07:19] <poet> Kimi: In Sound Recorder go to File > Save As and the folder in which your last recording was saved will pop up
[07:19] <poet> then navigate to the file through the Places menu at the top and delete it
[07:19] <amitz> will there be differences (asymptotically) of performance between a java process run on ubuntu-ec2 and a java proccess with hadoop on ec2?
[07:19] <christian_______> hi
[07:20] <christian_______> i need help
[07:20] <Shinu> @bullgard4: Is there an about:* for loaded addons?
[07:20] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob:  what is a net install ?
[07:20] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: how did you install Ubuntu?
[07:20] <poet> amitz: I imagine it's unlikely they are teh same
[07:20] <poet> *the
[07:20] <Psuedo> Yesterday I was asking about different Server roles, and was recommended LDS. Does anyone know what it stands for, as I wikipedia'd it, and couldn't find anything related to Servers...
[07:21] <bullgard4> poet: It is a rare case that Ubuntu does not have any idea about a specific wireless card. My advice: File a question in an Ubuntu mailing list or forum.
[07:21] <firewallnoob> bullgard4: I think ubuntuforums.org is down
[07:21] <Shinu> @ Psuedo: Local Directory Service?
[07:21] <bullgard4> Shinu: My Firefox 3.0.3 then lists the installed plugins.
[07:21] <poet> bullgard4: I've tried the forum and no one has any idea.  I have a feeling this is a particuarly nasty bug, because I know the card is well supported now.  Unfortunatly I haven't been able to reproduce it
[07:21] <christian_______> install the drivers for my graphics card but when I start GDM, I get the box vesa
[07:22] <Shinu> bullgard4: Any kind of about:addons? Eg. Adblock is loaded
[07:22] <amitz> poet: they're not the same, but both can be used to run a well-scaled java applications. But ubuntu will have the overhead. The question is whether the overhead is variable and large enough?
[07:22] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob:  the os on the dell is not working, i downloaded it via the internet.  but i can no longer access windows or ubuntu on the dell
[07:22] <Shinu> oh
[07:22] <Kimi> poet thanks
[07:22] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: what I mean is did you burn Ubuntu CD first and then installed it?
[07:22] <Kimi> but for 5 seconds of my speaking.... it saves very big file
[07:23] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: i have it on another machine and am trying to set up dhcp so that my dell can access the network on boot
[07:23] <bullgard4> Shinu: Adblock is not loaded in my Firefox 3.0.3.
[07:23] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: the dell has no cd and no usb, the cd is not working it is broken
[07:23] <zhangxiaobo> hello
[07:23] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, try FAI
[07:23] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: the dell cannot read a usb on boot it does not have the capaability
[07:23] <Shinu> kk
[07:24] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: fai ?
[07:24] <g4lt-lappy> fully automated install, or debian's netboot (ubuntu is a debian variant)
[07:24] <Kimi> !usb
[07:24] <JessicaParker> ive tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[07:25] <Kimi> !usb | firewallnoob
[07:25] <JessicaParker> "Basic: Hands-On Interactive Network Server Edition Install" but am now stuck
[07:25] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: in the link you posted earler, did you use "Method 2" ?
[07:26] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: absolutely - yest method 2
[07:26] <bullgard4> poet: ndiswrapper does not work any more?
[07:27] <JessicaParker> on booting the dell it is still not recognising the server - so im not sure if ive configure the server correctly , there arent many options on the dell for boot anyway so i dont think it is the dell
[07:27] <JessicaParker> never ever buy a dell machine they are so rubbish and so limited and replacement parts expensive
[07:27] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, yo've set up the dell fior PXE?
[07:28] <_Mik> ubuntu is forcing passwords down my throat
[07:28] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: did you restart the dhcp server?
[07:28] <g4lt-lappy> (sometimes they defaukt to a weird netboot protocol)
[07:28] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: just checking firewallnoob yes restarted after setting config file
[07:28] <g4lt-lappy> firewallnoob, DHCP, for netboot?  typically you use bootp
[07:29] <badboy_> hi chaps, I am newbie
[07:29] <_Mik> requiring a password in an unprivileged account is ludicrous.
[07:30] <Flannel> _Mik: So change that.  It really isn't.  But it's your system.
[07:30] <Shinu> It can cause *some* damage
[07:30] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: something is happening
[07:30] <eltimbalino> Is this site down? http://ubuntuforums.org/
[07:30] <Shinu> eltimbalino: Yes
[07:31] <badboy_> I have a problem. I have resize my new laptop 320GB, vista and and created a 47 GB partionion for ubuntu. NOw i have installed ubuntu on this partition, when it loads up, there's no option for vista
[07:31] <JessicaParker> getting a tfpt open timeout message
[07:31] <eltimbalino> Thanks Shinu, I thought it must be me
[07:31] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: I've never done a netinstall myself (this is what you are trying to do). My advice is, if you don't get adequate help with it, reinstall WinXP Pro from the CDs. If that doesn't work, warranty repair
[07:31] <Shinu> :)
[07:31] <g4lt-lappy> _Mik, it's not forcing *A* particular password down hyour throat, no, but if you're complaining that it wants one, I have news for you, so will win7
[07:31] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: dont have cd player that is working so no go there and also out of warranty
[07:31] <bobbie4> I reeli like the unbuntu
[07:32] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: Is it a laptop?
[07:32] <JessicaParker> yes
[07:32] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: how old?
[07:33] <_Mik> Flannel> yes how do I change that?
[07:34] <badboy_> can anyone help? how to boot up in vista, on dual os on the same hdd
[07:34] <Flannel> _Mik: again, it's not a good idea.  But you can modify the appropriate sections in /etc/pam.d/common-password
[07:34] <JessicaParker> 3 years
[07:34] <_Mik> Flannel ok thnx.
[07:35] <Xanavi> forums down eh
[07:35] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy:  it seems to be stuck on a tfpt option
[07:35] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: actually looks like some progress being made
[07:36] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, honestly, if FAI fails, you might want to try roothat's kickstart
[07:36] <g4lt-lappy> $%^^& wireless :(
[07:37] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, tagt's good, for small values of good, it found the host
[07:37] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, what's the file on the TFTP server called?  FAI tends to be hinkey on precise filenames
[07:39] <dparker> Hi - say I'm wondering if someone might just have the answer for me on this: my last distribution upgrade (to 8.04) went great, but subsequent to that I've not been shown the availability of distribution upgrades.  It seems I got switched to the "LTS" plan somehow.  This was not my intention, and it's really not what I want. Any idea what I need to tweak to fix this?
[07:39] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: dont know how do i find out
[07:39] <Flannel> dparker: You go to software {sources|properties} and on one of the second (or third?) tabs, you can choose LTS or every release, etc.
[07:40] <dparker> ok thanks
[07:40] <dparker> (Flannel)
[07:40] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy:  its still on tfpt - before it did not do anything until i tried pxe like you recommended so
[07:40] <meoblast001> if Gnome won't work on my system, will LXDE probably not work?
[07:40] <firewallnoob> dparker: I've heard that 8.10 sucks (just a rumor)
[07:41] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: it started with one dot (.) and now there are five (....) but difficult to tell if any progess is being made
[07:41] <meoblast001> firewallnoob: then wait till you see 9.04 Alpha 6 :P
[07:41] <dparker> yeah - I wasn't really thinking of doing it now - I just want the option
[07:41] <JessicaParker> dparker: it killed some stuff that was previously working on my laptop
[07:41] <meoblast001> firewallnoob: i learned Alpha software isn't fun the hard way
[07:41] <dparker> I consider myself warned - thanks :)
[07:42] <sarmisak> meoblast001: its 'alpha', you should walk away if you are using your computer for production and not fun ;)
[07:42] <savvas> meoblast001: it was considerably stable
[07:42] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, do a dir or ls on the server
[07:42] <savvas> btw, beta is coming soon :)
[07:42] <sarmisak> savvas: exactly, I'm typing from alpha 6, no problems here
[07:42] <Flannel> !worksforme
[07:43] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i use it for both :P
[07:43] <savvas> It "works for me"! :P
[07:43] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, (back now) iptables allows filtering by UID and GID, PID, SID and command. See the iptables manpage.
[07:43] <meoblast001> savvas: it "won't let me use Gnome"
[07:43] <sarmisak> meoblast001: then you should probably stay on stable ground ;)
[07:43] <sarmisak> meoblast001: how come?
[07:43] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i don't think it's jaunty.... but update-manager
[07:43] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i've never gotten a perfect upgrade yet
[07:43] <savvas> meoblast001: did you try to boot from the livecd?
[07:44] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i think that needs the most work out of everything on ubuntu
[07:44] <sarmisak> meoblast001: how did you upgrade?
[07:44] <meoblast001> sarmisak: update-manager -d
[07:44] <meoblast001> my upgrade to intrepid kept some hardy stuff for a period of time
[07:44] <sarmisak> meoblast001: hmm, any special hardware or software?
[07:44] <sarmisak> meoblast001: oh i see, why don't you try apt-get dist-upgrade first?
[07:45] <ziroday`> !jaunty | meoblast001 sarmisak
[07:45] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, TFTP is rather slow, so you may still be in business
[07:45] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: other options on the boot are tcp/ip - dhcp which was not working also tcp/ip bootp
[07:46] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: its just restarted the bios so looks like this did not work
[07:46] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, search for "--uid-owner" in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/iptables.8.html
[07:46] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: looks like it has timed out
[07:47] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, bootp is your choice if you have one, but thst's not really the protocol I was thinking
[07:47] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: i used method 2 http://news.softpedia.com/news/Alternative-Installation-Methods-for-Hardy-86977.shtml here so i suppose it should be pxe dhcp ?
[07:48] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: bootp - error no reply from server
[07:49] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: does your dhcp server configure for booting over network?
[07:49] <sarmisak> was that english? sorry.
[07:49] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: is your dhcp server configured for booting over network?
[07:49] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: im not that familiar with it - but settings for the .conf file are http://pastebin.com/m3ad36ac
[07:50]  * lclark has discovered the wonders of pulseaudio networking...
[07:51] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: yes, I found some advice on Wine FAQ that I should create a user called 'nonet', then use IPTABLES and run Wine as this user, but it seems like a bit of a pain, because nonet can't open display: I also need to jump through some hoops to allow that
[07:51] <sarmisak> it seems like it should boot
[07:51] <error404notfound> how do I install .pet icewm themes on ubuntu?
[07:52] <noumaan> How I can install ubuntu from Debian without a CDROM \
[07:52] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: the method you have mentioned uses apache to server the boot file, is apache configured? do you see any network activity on your network card?
[07:52] <iMatter> Ubuntu Forums has a Database error
[07:52] <iMatter> >.>
[07:52] <firewallnoob> noumaan: you may want to ask in #debian, they LOVE questions like that!
[07:52] <JessicaParker> apache is configures
[07:53] <noumaan> firewallnoob: They dont
[07:53] <sarmisak> noumaan: what about a usb flash drive?
[07:53] <noumaan> firewallnoob:  I remember once I asked them something like that and they said this is not #ubuntu
[07:53] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: no usb boot / no cd
[07:53] <bullgard4> "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to <IP_ADDRESS> (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)." Wie werde ich diese Fehlermeldung los?
[07:53] <noumaan> sarmisak:  no usb I need a way to do it using internet I think it is possible \
[07:53] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: apache local host works ok
[07:53] <noumaan> isnt it? \
[07:54] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, flexible, secure, simple. pick 2 (at most :-) sounds like the wine FAQ had the --owner-uid in mind. probably what I would have done too. getting X to work would be a pain, but it should be managable. If you really don't want networking on the windows apps maybe run them in a VM?
[07:54] <Ascavasaion> Sometimes when I try to play MP3 through Rythmbox it refuses to play and if I reboot it plays them again.  any ideas on how I can sort this out?
[07:54] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: thanks
[07:54] <sprinkmeier_> !de | bullgard4
[07:54] <sprinkmeier_> bullgard4, oder pm mich, ich spreche deutsch
[07:55] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: do you see any activity on the LEDs of your network card or switch?
[07:55] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy:  sarmisak: any ideas on how to check dhcp is send out requests / accepting requests ?
[07:55] <RobotCow> I'm at the eclipse download page, and I see there are several downloads for eclipse, not one eclipse. how can i determine which one i need?
[07:55] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: yes both are flashing
[07:55] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: can you access the pc that serves the boot file?
[07:56] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: yes im on it right now that is where i configured the dhcp
[07:56] <firewallnoob> bullgard4: Vee shpeek anglish heer
[07:56] <sprinkmeier_> Ascavasaion, sounds like a problem I sometimes have with sound; some application (usually flash in ff) grabs sound and won't let go.
[07:56] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: im also via a router
[07:56] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: try installing iptraf package on it and use it to watch what's going on on the network
[07:56] <Ascavasaion> sprinkmeier_: Any idea how to sort it out?
[07:57] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: i suppose you cant tell if my config file is right or not ?
[07:57] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: or there is no other way to check the dchp is working - i do have another windows machine that i can connect to the network to see if the dhcp is working
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> Ascavasaion, I usually use "fuser /dev/dsp" or somesuch to find the culprit, then decide if I want to kill it or make do without sound. it's a kludge, but it's usually good enough for me.
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> !pulse | Ascavasaion
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> !oss | Ascavasaion
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> !sound | Ascavasaion
[07:59] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: no, I can't probably, have you checked the syslog file? there you should see dhcp messages
[07:59] <Ascavasaion> Thank you.. I will try that.
[08:00] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: not you personally, but i mean me here on the machine that is where i have configured the dhcp server
[08:00] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: have you tried syslog file?
[08:00] <Ascavasaion> the MP3 does not play... as in the progress of the song does not move from 0 seconds.
[08:00] <Diehardy> I need a windows room
[08:00] <Diehardy> anyone know one?
[08:00] <rww> Diehardy: ##windows
[08:00] <Diehardy> another one
[08:01] <Diehardy> I've been there
[08:01] <Shinu> There is only one :o
[08:01] <sloopy> in what boot method does apache server a boot file?
[08:01] <sarmisak> Diehardy: /list
[08:01] <Diehardy> how about a Vista room
[08:01] <_Whipper> :)
[08:01] <Diehardy> or a Windows 7 room
[08:01] <sarmisak> sloopy: pxe, ltsp
[08:01] <KoolD> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop..but the wifi is not working.....lshw -C network gives a network unclaimed......what should i do to make it working
[08:01] <rww> Diehardy: ##windows is Freenode's Windows channel. They deal with all versions of Windows there.
[08:01] <sloopy> sarmisak, what files does it server?
[08:01] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: the dell seems to have found the server  i have client ip <IP_ADDRESS> mask <IP_ADDRESS> dhcp ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:01] <sarmisak> !ltsp | sloopy
[08:02] <Ascavasaion> rww: Very politely handled.
[08:02] <sprinkmeier_> Diehardy, maybe the problem is that you're using an unsupported OS? Have you considered switching?
[08:02] <g4lt-lappy> hhow about you not ask a channel for a linux distro and askk in #freenode?
[08:02] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: any ideas on this ?
[08:02] <rww> Ascavasaion: thanks :)
[08:02] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: ok, since apache is serving the files, have you checked its logs?
[08:03] <sloopy> sarmisak, uh it doesnt say that there...
[08:03] <TonyMontana> What the heck was that
[08:03] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, everything SEEMS to be righ from wha tyou've said
[08:03] <wanna_learn_more> !lfs
[08:03] <iMatter> Could someone tell me how i would go about upgrading nexuiz 2.4 to 2.4.2 in ubuntu hardy
[08:03] <wanna_learn_more> !lts
[08:03] <_Mik> Flannel, is this what i modify: pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=0 max=8 md5 in /etc/pam.d/common-password
[08:04] <sloopy> sarmisak, when i setup my ltsp i never installed apache
[08:04] <Flannel> _Mik: I have no idea.  Check the man pages/etc
[08:05] <JessicaParker> ok i will check the apache logs the dell has a pxe-e32 error (will never get a dell again)
[08:05] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, bhave you tried RAS for windozew or kickstat or netbooting ay other OS at all?
[08:05] <Myztikal_> ? respository
[08:05] <bobbie4> ubuntu should have the games Minesweeper and Solitaire so that way Ubuntu could have MCSE's,  hehe?
[08:05] <_Mik> ok, don't wanna get locked out of my  ubuntu, haha.
[08:05] <sloopy> JessicaParker, what dell are you using?
[08:06]  * g4lt-lappy fears JessicaParker's problem is a LOT more serious than first thougt
[08:07] <Myztikal_> can anyone direct me to the ubuntu -non support section?
[08:07] <Myztikal_> i'm looking for a good IRC client
[08:07] <g4lt-lappy> the pxe error really worries me
[08:07] <JessicaParker> the dell is a ultraportable
[08:07] <Myztikal_> and also something similar to msn
[08:07] <JessicaParker> latitude
[08:07] <sprinkmeier_> !ot | Myztikal_
[08:07] <g4lt-lappy> Myztikal_, pidgin for both, after a sort
[08:07] <Myztikal_> ty
[08:08] <Myztikal_> yeah, it's for both but
[08:08] <g4lt-lappy> pidgin does IRC, albeit badly
[08:08] <Myztikal_> it's not as good :S
[08:08] <Myztikal_> yeah
[08:08] <_Whipper> xchat
[08:08] <JessicaParker> i cant believe that you can boot from a usb
[08:08] <Shinu> mirc >_>
[08:08] <KoolD> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop..but the wifi is not working.....lshw -C network gives a network unclaimed......what should i do to make it working
[08:08] <Myztikal_> mirc is :S
[08:08]  * bobbie4 asks for permission to leave as he has to go to bed now

[08:09] <Myztikal_> anyway thanks i'll continue my convo there
[08:09] <Shinu> k
[08:09] <JessicaParker> thanks guys i trust im going on my own here
[08:09] <_Whipper> Myztikal_, just try out irssi
[08:09] <sprinkmeier_> KoolD, can you see the wireless NIC in the network manager?
[08:09] <SandGorgon> i have openoffice 3.0 - installed through ppa. Anyone know how to install OpenOffice 3.1 ?
[08:09] <JessicaParker> thanks for your efforts though
[08:09] <TonyMontana> Hello
[08:10] <Myztikal_> !repository
[08:10] <Shinu> Hello
[08:10] <sprinkmeier_> JessicaParker, IIRC LTSP has a live CD that turns a system into a remote-boot server. If you run that, and try to remote-boot the DELL it may confirm if it's a problem with the DELL.
[08:10] <TonyMontana> Ubuntu 8.10 wont recognize my webcam
[08:10] <_Whipper> is it echoing here...
[08:10] <TonyMontana> why is that
[08:10] <user___> SandGorgon: wait for ppa to catch up or get the software from upstream (openoffice.org)
[08:11] <SandGorgon> user___: is there a Ubuntu repository ?
[08:11] <erbish> hi
[08:11] <sprinkmeier_> TonyMontana, unsupported HW? check the HCL and, if you feel like tilting at windmills, contact the vendor and request Linux support.
[08:11] <user___> SandGorgon: for which case?
[08:11] <sprinkmeier_> !hcl | TonyMontana
[08:11] <noren_> !webcam | TonyMontana
[08:11] <TonyMontana> actually it came with the netbook
[08:11] <TonyMontana> it's a eee pc 701
[08:12] <TonyMontana> with ubuntu and the webcam is built in
[08:12] <JessicaParker> ok will have a look at this.........i dont think it is the dell as it was all working till i tried to install ubuntu over it
[08:12] <sprinkmeier_> TonyMontana, I got that working with 8.04.1
[08:12] <KoolD> sprinkmeier_:no i dont see it
[08:12] <TonyMontana> well i have 8.10
[08:12] <error404notfound> I get "Script /etc/menu-methods/translate_menus returned error status 1." on every apt-get install.... why? and how to fix it?
[08:12] <error404notfound> ubuntuforums are down?
[08:13] <Shinu> error404notfound: Yes.
[08:13] <error404notfound> Shinu: :(
[08:13] <Shinu> ;x
[08:13] <sprinkmeier_> TonyMontana, did you check out the EEEbuntu (noe eezy-peezy linux?) page for the 701? IIRC it had some things I had to do to get it to work...
[08:13] <Shinu> :x
[08:13] <sprinkmeier_> !wireless | KoolD
[08:13] <KoolD> thanks i'll check it out
[08:13] <TonyMontana> No I havent Sprinkmeir
[08:14] <sprinkmeier_> KoolD, so lshw recognises it as a wireless NIC but network manager doesn't find/use it? urgh...
[08:14] <emendo> Can anyone point me to some good sites or documents that will help me to secure my system before I use gtk-gnutella?
[08:14] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, well, if that pxed error is what I think it is, you're not reallhyon your own, b ut it's soemthign that onluy Dell tech support and a RMA will fix
[08:14] <g4lt-lappy> tongueroo, did ubuntu recognize it before?
[08:14] <g4lt-lappy> TonyMontana, ^^^^
[08:14] <ziroday> emendo: secure how? There are pratically no viruses for linux. Just don't install some strange app from their
[08:15] <TonyMontana> what?
[08:15] <emendo> ziroday: I am more concerned about someone accessing files not in the sharing folder. I heard it was done.
[08:15] <gartral> why does my scroll lock key do nothing in ubuntu?
[08:15] <emendo> ziroday: I do not know how though.
[08:15] <Shinu> What is it supposed to do anyways
[08:15] <gartral> it doesnt even toggle the light
[08:16] <gartral> keep a window's scrolling output from scrolling
[08:16] <ziroday> emendo: you should be fine, if you are worried then you could make a new group for gnutella and then chown that file just for that group however its very complicated to setup. You should be safe
[08:16] <gartral> !scroll lock
[08:16] <gartral> !scroll
[08:16] <gartral> :|
[08:17] <emendo> ziroday: thankyou, I will go ahead and give downloading a try.
[08:22] <Mo0oSaH> anyone know what's going on with the forums?
[08:22] <Flannel> Mo0oSaH: Try #ubuntuforums
[08:22] <Mo0oSaH> Flannel: thanks
[08:27] <Xanavi> forums down eh?
[08:27] <tech404> is there a way to stop scrolling on output at the consle or in screen?
[08:27] <ziroday> Xanavi: yes, ask in #ubuntuforums
[08:27] <ziroday> tech404: run the command but pipe it through less like this mycommand | less
[08:28] <zenlunatic> tech404, you can add & at the end and the job will go in the background
[08:29] <zenlunatic> tech404, cntrl-D to send end of file or cntrl-c to kill
[08:29] <zenlunatic> tech404, cntrl-z to pause :D
[08:29] <timob> any one know why when ever i plugin the AC on my laptop Ubuntu starts Evolution email client?
[08:29] <tech404> ziroday, thanks for your help however I am looking for an overall solution. While in screen information is updated every second and it keeps me from seeing output very far up with <ctrl> + <pg up>
