 <mots> it's supposed to hide all gimp-windows from the taskbar (except the images one), and to maximize the image
 <mots> but it doesnt actually do anything
[07:13] <philo23> does any one know how to mount the ubuntu partition on HDD in live cd?
[07:14] <TheSilentWarrior> w3ccv the .bin is the data, the .cue is the info on wat it is, how to mount/burn it, etc
[07:14] <__rob__> philo23, do you know the partition?
[07:14] <aled> un_operateur: thank you so much :D I installed that ATi driver and followed the guide and I can now use the log on screen and that erro doesn't come up but I still encounter an error that happend before
[07:14] <philo23> __rob__: the number, type; what about it
[07:14] <markoutthere> PriceChild you are a genius. Thanks for your help I am all up and running now, really enjoying Ubuntu.
[07:14] <__rob__> philo23, open a term:
[07:15] <philo23> __rob__: i know, but it give me this:  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1
[07:15] <un_operateur> aled, which error comes up now?
[07:15] <TheSilentWarrior> povaddct almost done, this pc is slow xD 5 year old portable pc
[07:15] <__rob__> philo23 is it formatted?
[07:15] <philo23> __rob__: yes
[07:16] <philo23> __rob__: i just checked it under gparted now
[07:16] <aled> un_operateur: got a photo again from before: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b134/einsteinshamster/STA60027.jpg that's what hapeens when I try to login normally
[07:16] <philo23> __rob__: its ext3
[07:16] <n2diy> _rob_, he installed Ubuntu, and then Windows.
[07:16] <LP396> hi, i was trying to install ubuntu 5.04 on a pentium 3
 try mount -t ext3
[07:17] <philo23> mots: still the same error
[07:17] <un_operateur> aled, from the terminal -- run this -- ls -l /etc/profile   -- tell us what you get
[07:17] <aled> un_operateur: ok will do
[07:17] <Lam_> how can i script a screen session to start up upon boot?
[07:17] <mots> nobody with devilspie-knowledge?
[07:18] <LP396> but it stops in sicronizing clock with  hardware clock
[07:18] <POVaddct> Lam_: you can start screen in detached mode from a init script
[07:18] <aled> un_operateur:  I get -rw--- (etc) 1 root root 369 and a date
[07:18] <cstextiles>  Trying to install Edubuntu 6.06  but it says There is No Ethernet card detected. But I have Ethernet Card with which i am accessing the Internet What is the solution?
[07:18] <__rob__> philo23, try this:  cat /dev/hda1 | file -
[07:19] <un_operateur> aled, ok, you need to give other users permissions to read -- sudo chmod a+r /etc/profile
[07:19] <Lam_> POVaddct: sounds like what i'm looking for. how do i go about doing that? i'm trying to load one command in my screen session: rtorrent
[07:19] <aled> un_operateur: ok :)
[07:19] <PriceChild> markoutthere, good to hear :D
[07:19] <POVaddct> Lam_: like this: su -c "/usr/bin/screen -d -m command_to_run_in_screen" - username
[07:20] <aled> un_operateur: shall I just try to login again now?
[07:20] <philo23> __rob__: it returns: /dev/stdin: ERROR: error while writing to temp file (No space left on device)
[07:20] <un_operateur> aled, yes please :)
[07:20] <POVaddct> Lam_: put this line a in a existing init script or write a new one and symlink to it from you default runlevel dir
[07:20] <Lam_> POVaddct: is the su -c necessary? what does it do? and this will load upon boot without the need to log in if i place it in /etc/rc.local, right?
[07:20] <PriceChild> markoutthere, maybe you could register on wiki.ubuntu.com and make a little wiki entry for enabling your savage driver? All that was guesswork and it wo uld be nice for others to have a point of reference
[07:20] <LP396> how to stop sncronizing clock from start?
[07:21] <POVaddct> Lam_: su -c ... - username is for running the screen session as non-root
[07:21] <__rob__> philo23, I can verify that my partition is in fact an ext3 partition by doing that.    I get /dev/stdin: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery)
[07:21] <LP396> i cant enter ubuntu
[07:21] <Lam_> POVaddct: ah that's a good idea lol. i'll do that. thanks a lot for the help
[07:21] <philo23> __rob__: does this mean my partition is corrupt?
[07:21] <aled> un_operateur: thank you so much I really do appreciate your help and has hlped me learnt a lot and makes me want to learn a lot more with Linux and the CLI...now do you know anything about dual screens? :D
[07:21] <POVaddct> Lam_: you can later do   screen -r   as that user
[07:21] <un_operateur> aled, did that work alright now?
[07:22] <POVaddct> Lam_: so you can watch and control the session
[07:22] <__rob__> philo23, not necessarily .. live cd's are weird.
[07:22] <un_operateur> !xinerama | aled
[07:22] <ubotu> aled: xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[07:22] <Lam_> POVaddct: ok, great. thanks :)
[07:22] <aled> un_operateur: yup, got my normal screen back with the resolution I wanted :D
[07:22] <POVaddct> Lam_: screen just rocks! :)
[07:22] <philo23> __rob__: how else can i go about this then
[07:22] <__rob__> philo23, Do you have a /dev/hda1?
[07:22] <philo23> __rob__: yes
[07:22] <un_operateur> aled, glad to hear that :)
[07:22] <aled> un_operateur: thanks for the link as well
[07:22] <__rob__> philo23, How about a /dev/stdin?
[07:22] <Takuya> hey guys.. I've been following a bunch of guides and my wireless card just won't work properly. It's a BCM4306. I've used it many times before with other distros and ndiswrapper. I installed the drivers (bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys) and it just doesn't let me configure it.
[07:22] <un_operateur> aled, yw
[07:22] <Lam_> POVaddct: lol yeah definitely
[07:23] <philo23> __rob__: hda1 is ubuntu, hda2 is windows and hda3 is the ram space
[07:23] <aled> un_operateur: I'm guessing I can find stuff about networking and the CLI around the ubuntu wiki and help pages?
[07:23] <gop> !kde
[07:23] <LP396> i get a slave hdd error at start press f1 to resume, then ubuntu stops at clock sincronice
[07:23] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[07:23] <philo23> __rob__: not ram phyical, fake ram, like windows paging file
[07:23] <POVaddct> Lam_: the finest console tool ever. i use it with my own .screenrc with nice hardstatus bar.
[07:23] <thoreauputic> Takuya: if you are using ndiswrapper, you need to disable the bcm43xx driver
[07:23] <thoreauputic> Takuya: i think there's a wiki on it, see ubotu below
[07:23] <thoreauputic> !wifi
[07:24] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:24] <Takuya> Yeah, I just did that btw.
[07:24] <Takuya> I disaled the bcm43xx driver already
[07:24] <thoreauputic> Takuya: ah
[07:24] <Takuya> it displays something different in iwconfig
[07:24] <Takuya> but it still won't work
[07:24] <__rob__> philo23, dd if=/dev/hda1 | file -
[07:24] <Takuya> essid is "" and key is ""
[07:24] <un_operateur> aled, ubuntu as you know is mostly a desktop distro for the beginner user -- so the stuff you find in the wiki's is probably starter stuff or just that essential to help solve user problems .. if you want to learn you might want to explore further
[07:24] <Lam_> POVaddct: a hard status bar would be neat. is that a simple command flick in screenrc?
[07:24] <thoreauputic> Takuya: then I don't know. I installed bc43xx with firmware on a mac iBook
[07:24] <POVaddct> Lam_: wait, i'll paste it
[07:25] <Takuya> ndiswrapper -l displays bcmwl5 : driver installed hardware present
[07:25] <philo23> __rob__: dd: opening `/dev/hda1': Permission denied
[07:25] <philo23> /dev/stdin: empty
[07:25] <POVaddct> Lam_: hardstatus alwayslastline "%?%{wb}%-Lw%?%{Yb}%n*%f %t%?(%u)%?%?%{wb}%+Lw%?%{wb}%=%c"
[07:25] <__rob__> philo23, sudo
[07:25] <thanhlong> co ai la ng viet nam ko
[07:25] <philo23> __rob__: k
[07:25] <POVaddct> Lam_: a bit cryptic, though :)
[07:25] <Lam_> POVaddct: lol obviously.  thanks again :)
[07:25] <aled> un_operateur: hmm, ok, I'm mainly interested in setting up and administrating a network for fun really, so maybe I'll need to find a better networking based distro. You know the dual screens thing, it requires me to edit the xorg.conf file and I'm afraid I'll undo the changes I did before
[07:25] <phatlip_> can ubuntu partition an os x drive?
[07:26] <phatlip_> i want to install on my powerbook - but keep my os x install as well.
[07:26] <philo23> __rob__: /dev/stdin: ERROR: error while writing to temp file (No space left on device)
[07:26] <mutante> aled: make a backup copy of the conf file before?
[07:26] <Zambezi> Which is the best application for playing movies in Ubuntu?
[07:26] <daggerx> xine
[07:26] <thoreauputic> !vn| thanhlong
[07:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:26] <thoreauputic> hmm
[07:26] <thanhlong> yes
[07:26] <aled> mutante: good idea, so rename it, make a new one and if all goes wrong rename the original again to xorg.conf in the CLI?
[07:27] <mutante> aled: sure, yes
[07:27] <thoreauputic> no vietnamese channel?
[07:27] <Takuya> It won't let me change the settings of my card...
[07:27] <mutante> aled: cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.orig
[07:27] <__rob__> philo23, hrm.
[07:27] <Takuya> I ran sudo iwconfig eth1 essid MYESSID key MYKEY
[07:27] <n2diy> ubotu, vietnamese
[07:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vietnamese - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:27] <Takuya> and it won't save them.
[07:27] <whyameye> Am I understanding that people are advising aled against ubuntu for network admin? Weird...
[07:27] <un_operateur> aled, you probably learn best if you do things step by step -- eg a web server one day, nfs another, mail, etc etc -- as for xorg.conf -- make a backup of it before editing it -- and just go for it -- you need to make a few mistakes :) whats the harm in trying if you have a contingency ? :)
[07:27] <__rob__> philo23, do that with /dev/hda2
[07:28] <thanhlong> channel vn
[07:28] <thanhlong> ?????????//
[07:28] <aled> whyameye: no I just said that sorry lol
[07:28] <thanhlong> where

[07:28] <exs> does anyone know how to safely remove all of office apps?
[07:28] <thoreauputic> thanhlong: appears not to exist
[07:28] <aled> un_operateur: good point, I'll learn from my mistakes anyways :)
[07:28] <aled> mutante: what does that do? Copy it and rename the copy?
[07:28] <un_operateur> aled, i'm sure you will :)
[07:28] <__rob__> philo23, ls -al /dev/stdin
[07:28] <mutante> aled: yes
[07:29] <aled> ah ok :)_
[07:29] <philo23> __rob__: /dev/stdin: ERROR: error while writing to temp file (No space left on device)
[07:29] <mutante> aled: then you can edit xorg.conf, and if things go wrong, copy it back the other way around

[07:30] <__rob__> philo23, mount | grep proc
[07:30] <un_operateur> saxofoner, you the one with the nautilus problem no?
[07:30] <saxofoner> yep
[07:30] <daggerx> ie i want to put      option "composite" "0"  in a script to write it to xorg.conf
[07:30] <TheSilentWarrior> povaddct hi, finished installing
[07:30] <w3ccv> mutante, an SE from Sun once advised me to "mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.orig ; cp xorg.conf.conf xorg"  That will preserver all permissions, owners, goups, times  of the original file. These could be important. You loose them on a copy

[07:31] <TheSilentWarrior> povaddct it needs a reboot, so, be right back ok?
[07:31] <un_operateur> saxofoner, well, we were going through one of the pastebins you posted -- seems like you might have a potential problem
[07:31] <mutante> aled: listen to what w3ccv said :p
[07:31] <un_operateur> saxofoner, you on edgy right?
[07:31] <saxofoner> un_operateur:  That interruption of the upgrade I told you about, it was apparently fatal, so I totally reinstalled Ubuntu.  I'm on Dapper.
[07:31] <gop> I am unsure I did but after a reboot vmware is down
[07:31] <saxofoner> It's allll good now.
[07:31] <aled> mutante: ah ok thanks :)
[07:31] <un_operateur> saxofoner, you reinstalled?? :o
[07:31] <aled> w3ccv: thanks :)
[07:31] <__rob__> philo23, I'm thinking it's just a livecd issue.
[07:31] <saxofoner> un_operateur:  Yep.  I have a dual-boot system, so all my data is intact
[07:32] <gop> I keep getting error with vmware
[07:32] <philo23> __rob__: then how can i back up all my stuff with out mounting the hdd
[07:32] <|thunder> !paste
[07:32] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:32] <thoreauputic> saxofoner: looked like you were missing some lines in  /etc/apt/sources.list ( you had dapper lines in there)
[07:32] <__rob__> philo23, you weren't using lvm, were you?
[07:32] <philo23> __rob__: lvm?
[07:32] <un_operateur> saxofoner, ahh well, nevermind then -- we found out why you probably couldnt upgrade totally -- you still had sources for dapper in your sources.list and your edgy sources probably werent complete
[07:32] <w3ccv> aled, most of the time everything works, but this for that extra safety in case it doesn't  Some file for security depend on certian permissions.
[07:32] <thoreauputic> saxofoner: but if you reinstalled dapper, so be it :)
[07:33] <__rob__> philo23, logical volume manager
[07:33] <saxofoner> thoreauputic: Yeah, I was planning on doing it soon anyway, so it's all good.
[07:33] <saxofoner> I like getting a clean start every now and then
[07:33] <philo23> __rob__: not sure if i did, but i think i didnt
[07:33] <__rob__> philo23, You have a knoppix CD lying around?
[07:33] <philo23> __rob__: want me to look at GParted?
[07:33] <un_operateur> saxofoner, that practise usually only happens in the windows world :)
[07:34] <philo23> __rob__: nope :(
[07:34] <philo23> __rob__: my other pc doesnt have a cd burner ether
[07:34] <__rob__> philo23, and you're using the ubuntu live cd.
[07:34] <timo901> can any one help in controling xmms player using my mce remote

[07:36] <Takuya> iwconfig and ifconfig both show 'eth1' but I can't actualyl use it
[07:36] <saxofoner> un_operateur:  really?  Hm... That reminds me, I should check if Windows can still boot... :-P
[07:36] <Takuya> I've tried running iwconfig eth1 essid MY_ESSID key MY_KEY
[07:36] <Takuya> and it just doesn't work.
[07:36] <timo901> un_operateur:its called the new verision ,
[07:36] <whyameye> Takuya: is the ESSID of the router hidden?
[07:37] <Takuya> it shouldn't be. let me check.

[07:38] <Takuya> yeah
[07:38] <Takuya> my router has 64 bit 10key hex
[07:38] <thoreauputic> Takuya: do you have gnome-network-manager installed ? It can conflict with the traditional methods
[07:38] <timo901> http://www.eirikso.com/images/MCE-Remote-Media-Center.jpg
[07:39] <[GuS] > hi!
[07:39] <Takuya> nope, thoreauputic only gnome-network-preferences

[07:39] <w3ccv> Takuya, try entering your key in the format nnnn-nnnn-nn
[07:39] <timo901> version 2
[07:39] <thoreauputic> Takuya: OK
[07:40] <timo901> un_operateur:i have tryed that
[07:40] <timo901> i get an error about my directorry
[07:41] <un_operateur> timo901, ok, saying what?
[07:41] <Takuya> any ideas?
[07:42] <Takuya> the frequency is correct too
[07:42] <timo901> un_operateur: first i cd to /usr/src/lirc-0.8.0
[07:42] <timo901> them make
[07:43] <timo901> then make install
[07:43] <un_operateur> timo -- are these the instructions as per the INSTALL file in the same directory??
[07:43] <Takuya> meh this is just not working lol
[07:43] <un_operateur> timo901, because usually you need to run a ./configure first  -- and there might be other steps you need to take
[07:44] <cstextiles> lTruying to install Edubuntu 6.06 Server  but it says There is No Ethernet card detected. But I have Ethernet Card with which i am accessing the Internet
[07:44] <instant> Takuya, Have you tried "sudo iwconfig eth1 enc YOUR_KEY"
[07:44] <hjmills> anybody play half life 2 or ne steam games on cedega with ubuntu/
[07:44] <Feral_Kid> I am getting ready to switch back to 6.10 64-bit... If there a way to take the dpkg -l listing and use that to automatically re-install all of my packages?
[07:44] <timo901> un_operateur:i had done that ,sorrry i wasnt very clear
[07:44] <un_operateur> timo901, why don't you have a try now -- see what errors you get, i'd like to see how it works too :)
[07:45] <Takuya> no but it didn't do anything when I did
[07:45] <Takuya> but then it had the wrong frequency
[07:45] <__rob__> philo23, Okay... I just booted into it and it worked for me.....
[07:45] <Takuya> what is the order I should use iwconfig commads in?
[07:45] <timo901> ./configure workes ok
[07:45] <Takuya> iwconfig eth1 essid ESSID enc KEY channel CHANNEL
[07:45] <Takuya> ?
[07:45] <philo23> __rob__: weird, i've done it before, but now it wont
[07:46] <__rob__> philo23, what's your swap partition.
[07:46] <un_operateur> timo901, first things first -- read the README and INSTALL files
[07:46] <philo23> __rob__: what do you mean?
[07:46] <timo901> i think i know were i was going wrong
[07:46] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid:  sudo dpkg --get-slections > listfile
[07:46] <timo901> i did read it lol
[07:46] <thoreauputic> oops
[07:46] <__rob__> Do you have a swap partition for ubuntu?
[07:46] <un_operateur> timo901, they'll have information on any obscure steps you might need to take
[07:46] <__rob__> philo23, Do you have a swap partition for ubuntu?
[07:46] <philo23> __rob__: /dev/hda3 is extended and /dev/hda5 sits inside it as swap
[07:46] <timo901> You will have to use the lirc_mceusb2 kernel module.
[07:46] <timo901> Now enter 'make' and 'make install' to compile and install the packa
[07:46] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid:  dpkg --get-selections I meant
[07:47] <__rob__> philo23, Okay.... sudo swapon /dev/hda5
[07:47] <Takuya> when I run iwlist eth1 key
[07:47] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid: you can use --set-selections from that file
[07:47] <Takuya> it has my key available under 1 and tramist key is set to 1
[07:47] <timo901> un_operateur:i have found a file that relates to my tv-card remote
[07:48] <philo23> __rob__: swapon: /dev/hda5: Device or resource busy, if your trying to mount it, i think its already, if i go by GParted, it says its locked
[07:48] <philo23> __rob__: my swap is 2.58 gb, if that makes a difference
[07:48] <Feral_Kid> thoreauputic> Thanks, so I first get need to do a 'dpkg -l  > files.txt and then when I re-load my 64-bit, I then do the ' dpkg --get-selections files.txt?
[07:48] <philo23> __rob__: i can mount the windows HDD partition, but not the ubuntu one
[07:49] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid: no, use  sudo dpkg --get-selections > filename
[07:49] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid: you can look at that file - you will see the list
[07:49] <Takuya> it looks to be set and everything.. but it just won't use the essid or something
[07:49] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid: it's all in man dpkg :)
[07:49] <n2diy> I have a laptop which currently has FC1 installed on it, and I'd like to install Ubuntu on to it. The system won't boot from the CD drive, and it has no floppy drive, ideas?
[07:50] <stefg> Feral_Kid: sudo dpkg --get-selections > selections.lst ... then read it back with dpkg --set-selections < selections.lst
[07:50] <__rob__> philo23, I'm thinking it's corrupted.... I thinking about how to prove whether or not it is.
[07:50] <bulmer> n2diy: can it boot from a usb?
[07:50] <philo23> __rob__: i hope it isnt, theres alot of stuff on there i need
[07:50] <Takuya> I've tried everything.
[07:50] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid: dpkg --set-selections is the reverse IIRC
[07:50] <n2diy> bulmer: nope
[07:50] <philo23> __rob__: and i have around 80% backed up
[07:50] <w3ccv> Takuya, I suggest turning the encryption on the WAP off tiellyou can connect - try one problem at a time. Dont leave it that way for long - keep others out .
[07:50] <n2diy> bulmer: no usb ports
[07:51] <see-g> n2diy: you can probably install Ubuntu from within a chroot environment? I've never done that but people say it works...
[07:51] <__rob__> philo23, There's always fsck
[07:51] <w3ccv> Takuya, s/tiellyou/ till you/
[07:51] <Takuya> but I have like a lot of other computers connected through WEP
[07:51] <POVaddct> n2diy: if it has no usb ports, its rather old, right?
[07:51] <philo23> __rob__: fsck?
[07:51] <bulmer> n2diy it wont boot because it never had or it does not have a cdrom?
[07:51] <n2diy> POVaddct: umm, yes.
[07:51] <POVaddct> n2diy: how much RAM does it have?
[07:51] <philo23> !fsck
[07:51] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[07:52] <accept> Can someone please send me the OpenOffice.org Ubuntu default icons. The ones that are like a little circle? Please!?
[07:52] <n2diy> POVaddct: 196  meg
[07:52] <POVaddct> n2diy: okay
[07:52] <Takuya> when I run iwconfig it says eth1.. and everything is correct but the ESSID
[07:52] <Takuya> the key, frequency, and mode...
[07:52] <POVaddct> n2diy: it does not boot from cd at all or just not from the ubuntu cd?
[07:52] <bulmer> n2diy: you can attempt a network install..assuming your nic card can handle boot over pxe
[07:53] <FluxAR> Hello folks, I have a problem in my Ubuntu 6.10. Every time I run some Python scripts I get a dialog saying "Warning: Mailcap file /etc/mailcap, line 45: incomplete entry ignored." ... What can I do? Thank you!
[07:53] <Takuya> and when I run scan it doesn't find anything
[07:53] <n2diy> POVaddct: Bios doesn't support booting from CD.
[07:53] <__rob__> philo23, fsck /dev/hda1
[07:53] <stefg> !smartbootmanager
[07:53] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[07:53] <w3ccv> Takuya, oh,  can you do without them for a while, just long enough to test  your Ubunto connections.  Something ot think about.  Uncucomented - the key looks like it should be in the format nnnn-nnnn-nn (or nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nn for 128bit)
[07:53] <Feral_Kid> thoreauputic & stefg: Thanks, I just looked at the file generated and now I understand!!! Cool, this will save me a lot of heartache... Will happens to the true 32-bit applications, for instance Skype, Gizmo and Flash...
[07:53] <accept> please
[07:53] <accept> :(
[07:53] <POVaddct> n2diy: hmm. and no floppy either, thats bad. how was fc1 installed?
[07:54] <Takuya> pccardctl ident shows nothing btw.
[07:54] <n2diy> bulmer: I can't get the network card working. :/
[07:54] <Takuya> yeah w3ccv it shows up like that in iwlist
[07:54] <Takuya> encryption key: XXXX-XXX-XX
[07:54] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid: I assume any inappropriate files just won't install
[07:54] <bulmer> n2diy: it seems about time for a newer laptop..
[07:54] <w3ccv> Takuya, good.
[07:54] <n2diy> POVaddct:  I put a minimal dos system on it, and then ran Fedoras install script off the cd.
[07:54] <philo23> __rob__: its says "Group descriptors" but its only just started, still running, i'll give you it all in a paste bin in a sec
[07:55] <__rob__> philo23, did you install windows after ubuntu?
[07:55] <POVaddct> n2diy: and how did you install dos? what were you booting from?
[07:55] <un_operateur> FluxAR, you could see why line 45 of /etc/mailcap is incomplete -- and take it from there
[07:55] <philo23> __rob__: yes, unfortunatly
[07:55] <n2diy> POVaddct:  floppy disk, the CD and Floppy share the same bay, so it is one or the other.
[07:55] <accept> can someone please...
[07:55] <POVaddct> n2diy: i see
[07:56] <Feral_Kid> thoreauputic> Well, I can deal with that... I always seem to have issue with rebuilding 32-bit application on 64-bit...  I blew away 64 just in order to get fglrx working correctly... Now I am ready to go back to 64- bit edgy..
[07:56] <n2diy> bulmer: I'm looking for a cheap fix
[07:56] <thoreauputic> Feral_Kid: have fun :)
[07:56] <bulmer> okay
[07:56] <Takuya> my bus looks ok, with 0 being linked to 1 and 2.
[07:56] <stefg> n2diy: that's nasty...
[07:56] <POVaddct> n2diy: there is a boot manager (sbm) that can be installed to hard disk allowing to boot from cd even if the bios does not support it
[07:56] <philo23> __rob__: i've noticed it says "/dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced."
[07:57] <un_operateur> n2diy, have you checked this out ?  http://www.underhanded.org/papers/debian-conversion/remotedeb.html
[07:57] <Dj-Death> hi all
[07:57] <SF100> Hi can someone help me out?
[07:57] <POVaddct> n2diy: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/download.html
[07:57] <n2diy> POVaddct: roger on sbm.
[07:57] <Dj-Death> is there the s2ram utility in ubuntu ?
[07:57] <SF100> I was playing with screen savers and when I was looking through the choices I clicked on "Molecule" on the preview window it says "Constructing molecules..." and just hangs and allows me to do nothing else. I cannot access or do anything except move the mouse. No menus or anything, I powered down and when I went back to screen savers it is on Molecule and does the same thing. How can I change the screen saver without going into this screen s
[07:57] <__rob__> philo23, that's good.
[07:57] <n2diy> un_operateur: no I haven't, I'll go have a look now.
[07:57] <__rob__> philo23, did it say ext3?
[07:57] <philo23> __rob__: it also asks if i want to "Free blocks count wrong for group #1 (0, counted=1)."
[07:58] <philo23> __rob__: it doesnt say atal
[07:58] <timo901> POVaddct:hi
[07:58] <philo23> __rob__: then saying if i want to correct it
[07:58] <POVaddct> hi timo901
[07:58] <timo901> hows it going man
[07:58] <__rob__> philo23, before you answer yes...
[07:58] <lunaphyte> hi
[07:58] <Lam_> how do i set the time correctly in ubuntu server?
[07:58] <__rob__> philo23, put what you have in a pastebin
[07:59] <POVaddct> timo901: well, i am at my parents place over christmas
[07:59] <POVaddct> timo901: and they have dsl and wlan here :)
[07:59] <timo901> POVaddct:You have no shame man
[07:59] <whyameye> SF100: the things I would try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure <name-of-screensaver-package>. If that doesn't work, completely remove then reinstall the screensave package w/ synaptic.
[07:59] <FluxAR> un_operateur, thank you very much! I solved my problem!!! Thanks!
[07:59] <tonyyarusso> Lam_: ntpdate
[08:00] <SF100> whyameye: thanks ill try that now
[08:00] <timo901> POVaddct:you wouldn't go if they didn't have any Internet
[08:00] <philo23> __rob__: k
[08:00] <POVaddct> timo901: hehe, no i would. but earlier this year i fixed the wireless connection for them.
[08:01] <Nontitle> !seamonkey
[08:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seamonkey - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:01] <KeenEars> hey there =)
[08:01] <Nontitle> has anyone with firefox 2.0 tried going on gmail lately?
[08:01] <Lam_> tonyyarusso: i run that and it syncs and all, but upon reboot, it doesn't stick
[08:01] <timo901> POVaddct:your not fooling any one.
[08:01] <philo23> __rob__: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/843855
[08:02] <tonyyarusso> Lam_: hmm...that's odd
[08:02] <timo901> POVaddct:i have some lirc problem here man
[08:02] <__rob__> philo23, Yes... it looks like it is in fact corrupted.
[08:02] <POVaddct> timo901: i don't know anything about lirc
[08:03] <__rob__> philo23, so fsck is now the proper path.
[08:03] <philo23> __rob__: should i try rebooting now?
[08:03] <billytwowilly> so, I don't see an explicitly smp kernel. Is the default kernel in edgy smp enabled?
[08:03] <__rob__> philo23, No.
[08:03] <Shocka311> Any one know how to increase my cash size?
[08:03] <philo23> __rob__: what now then?
[08:03] <dwightintx> Ive got a freshly installed desktop machine that Im trying to access the gui from a windows machine, I have vnc-server installed , and I installed realvnc on the windows box, but when I launch the viewer, I get a blank screen.  What things should I check.  or is my approach wrong?
[08:04] <whyameye> billytwowilly: it is in dapper so I imagine it is in edgy...
[08:04] <idlemind> shocka311: your CACHE size?
[08:04] <POVaddct> away bin wech
[08:04] <POVaddct> oops
[08:04] <Shocka311> CACHE i mean
[08:04] <Lam_> tonyyarusso: maybe i'm using it wrong. this is what i entered: $ sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
[08:04] <KeenEars> go to the bank
[08:04] <__rob__> philo23, well... at this point it looks like you may have possibly lost data.
[08:04] <idlemind> shocka311: do you mean something like your "swap" partition (windows term: page file)?
[08:04] <timo901> damn I'm off to google again
[08:04] <philo23> __rob__: i just tried mounting HDA1, it worked
[08:04] <tonyyarusso> Lam_: I don't know the particular server, but yes, 'sudo ntpdate server.address' is correct.
[08:04] <philo23> __rob__: i'll go check out the damage
[08:04] <dan2> is there a package for java6 in ubuntu yet?
[08:04] <Lam_> tonyyarusso: ok i'll just play with it some more. thanks for the help
[08:04] <timo901> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/843835
[08:05] <KeenEars> can someone remind me how i can tune samba by means of gnome ? forgot which app makes it
[08:05] <__rob__> philo23, lost blocks are usually in lost+found
[08:05] <dwightintx> can anyone help me with a vnc issue?
[08:05] <Shocka311> I don't know really.  my computer is real slow so I added some ram and I read somewhere that on linux adding ram won't help alone, you also have to increase your cache size.
[08:05] <philo23> __rob__: it seems all my important stuff is availible, i'll back it up then install windows then ubuntu again
[08:05] <philo23> __rob__: would that be ok?
[08:06] <__rob__> philo23, yes... that would be appropriate now.
[08:06] <Takuya> ok so.. it just won't use my essid. lol
[08:06] <__rob__> philo23, I think if I remember correctly windows mucks with all partitions even ones that it doesn't install to.
[08:07] <lunaphyte> after i did an apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade says "the following packages have been kept back:", and a bunch of python packages are listed.  why is this?
[08:07] <SF100> whyameye: thanks again I got it
[08:07] <KeenEars> and also - can i delete openoffice - it asks to uninstall ubuntu-desktop too =(
[08:07] <SF100> have a happy holiday everyone
[08:08] <auk_> lunaphyte, this is because some versions have compatability issues with other packages
[08:08] <ecastro> hi, im just trying to install ubuntu edgy but when i reach the step where i have to define the different mount point for each partition i cant continue because the installer says "no root file system", but i have already set one partition with "/" mount point
[08:08] <philo23> __rob__: thanks for the help, you've let me sleep easy tonight, knowing all my stuff is safely backed up
[08:08] <__rob__> philo23, np
[08:08] <KeenEars> what fs on / ?
[08:08] <auk_> lunaphyte, it's best to fix those sort of errors in the long run, or else you may get real problems later on
[08:08] <n2diy> POVaddct: SPM is in the repos, and the latest version no less!
[08:08] <n2diy> SPM/SBM
[08:09] <lunaphyte> auk_: how can i determine where the compatibility issues are?
[08:09] <Takuya> hmm this is flumoxxed.
[08:09] <philo23> __rob__: would there be a way to back up my deb package lists?
[08:09] <auk_> lunaphyte, run apt-get upgrade (notice there is not dist-)
[08:09] <ecastro> anyone?!
[08:09] <mips> hi
[08:09] <auk_> lunaphyte: err, i don't know how to specifically determine the conflicts
[08:09] <lunaphyte> auk_: it says the same thing if i do apt-get upgrade
[08:09] <__rob__> Yes.... thought I'm not a dpkg expert.  The trick is to tell dpkg the new root directory.
[08:09] <Shocka311> idlemind: my computer is real slow so I added some ram and I read somewhere that on linux adding ram won't help alone, you also have to increase your cache size.
[08:10] <philo23> __rob__: thanks, i'll google it
[08:10] <__rob__> there's also a manpage.
[08:10] <philo23> __rob__: i just needed the name (dpkg) :P forgot it
[08:10] <lunaphyte> --ignore-hold ?
[08:10] <Takuya> I followed like 3 or 4 of these darned wireless networking guides
[08:10] <Takuya> none of them work fully. :/
[08:10] <rpereira> Shocka311: That's wrong!
[08:10] <idlemind> shocka311: ahh; that should've increased performance some; RAM helps speed up your computer in certain scenarios; what's your processor speed?
[08:10] <Takuya> I KNOW my card works because I've used multiple distros including linux from scratch with it
[08:10] <Takuya> and I've used ubuntu before.
[08:10] <crowley1027> has anyone had problems with the myspace music player running linux?
[08:11] <__rob__> any fglrx and xorg experts out there?
[08:11] <agent> what ibm keyboard keys correspond to mod2 and mod3?
[08:11] <Shocka311> Pentium 3
[08:11] <whyameye> crowley1027: you have flash9 installed?
[08:11] <rpereira> Shocka311: I've already increase my pc performance creating Swap on Pendrive.
[08:11] <n2diy> what is the syntax to tell apt-get to get a package, but not install it?
[08:11] <__rob__> How about fglrx and xorg amatuers?
[08:11] <crowley1027> flash --versin?
[08:11] <Takuya> If I can't get it I might just use a different distro. :|
[08:11] <crowley1027> flash --version?
[08:11] <exs> guys, how do i safely and easily back up my system?
[08:11] <KeenEars> there`s a channel for gl
[08:11] <Shocka311> Rpereira: how do you do that and what does that mean?
[08:11] <KeenEars> aixgl iirc
[08:12] <crowley1027> how do i check my flash version
[08:12] <__rob__> Actually it's the xvideo extension.
[08:12] <agent> Takuya: if you had the card working with LFS then it should be pretty straightforward to get it working with ubuntu, yes? if worse comes to worse, just repeat the steps from LFS :)
[08:12] <n2diy> exs, for a bare metal recovery, or just to save your stuff?
[08:12] <Takuya> lol, agent I did it all from CLI and usually it works fine.
[08:12] <Takuya> but for some reason iwconfig won't take my essid
[08:12] <crowley1027> How do I check my flash version?
[08:12] <Takuya> whoa.
[08:12] <Takuya> the interface changed
[08:12] <Takuya> now it's wlan0
[08:13] <agent> Takuya: :D
[08:13] <Takuya> well that might be a good thing I think.
[08:13] <Takuya> lols. it was eth1 before
[08:13] <rpereira> Shocka311: The slowest device in our computer is our HD. So if you increase memory, you will stop using SWAP on HD.
[08:13] <agent> Takuya: its goofy like that... not even sure what exactly assigns these things... whether its the module or something else
[08:13] <crowley1027> How do i check my flash version??
[08:14] <n1gke> n2diy: Have you read the apt-how-to ?
[08:14] <Takuya> but it still won't take the essid
[08:14] <Takuya> :/
[08:14] <petafile> I"m running linuxmint and I restarted my computer and It looked like it was checking the filesystems, but then it hung.  It said checking root fs, OK, then fsck version /info then it gave me some modprobe warnings about a blacklisted ipv6 modules and then it seemed to hang
[08:14] <agent> Takuya: what module are you loading?
[08:14] <rpereira> Shocka311: Of course your Cache is faster than your RAM, but the difference between HD and RAM is stupendus....
[08:14] <Takuya> ndiswrapper?
[08:14] <n1gke> n2diy: I have it here somewhere and it is most helpful.
[08:14] <n2diy> n1gke, nope, I'm busy reading IRC. :)
[08:14] <crowley1027> how do i check my flash version?
[08:14] <agent> Takuya: oh.... then i have no clue.. never used ndiswrapper
[08:14] <Takuya> lol.
[08:14] <stefg> rpereira: keep in mond thta flash memory a.) is slower than hd b.) has a limited number of read-write cycles... it's generally a bad idea using flash memory for swap
[08:14] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: how did you install it?
[08:15] <n1gke> n2diy: Okay OM, here is Myrton in Hope, RI. FN42fr and also using APRS.
[08:15] <crowley1027> not sure
[08:15] <crowley1027> i think without the terminal.
[08:15] <agent> Takuya: ndiswrapper is like wine... for the "ooops i buy hardware that only works in windows" crowd ;)
[08:15] <crowley1027> i don't know if i have flash9 or not
[08:15] <crowley1027> how do icheck?
[08:15] <rpereira> stefg: Flash memory is faster than my HD.
[08:15] <Takuya> yeah I know
[08:15] <ecastro> please help! i totally stucked!
[08:15] <w3ccv> n1gke, here is w3ccv - mike in Columbia MD
[08:16] <rpereira> I have a PC (not my notebook) that has a ATA disk 10GB.
[08:16] <Takuya> agent, I've used ndiswrapper for like 3 years on totally different distros
[08:16] <n2diy> n1gke, rr, Lansford, PA FN20bt, the APRS software was just fired up.
[08:16] <Takuya> from slack to LFS to ubuntu
[08:16] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: if you installed it using apt/synaptic etc, it isn't the beta 9 version afaik
[08:16] <Takuya> but it just won't work on edgy eft
[08:16] <Takuya> and I'm about to give up lol
[08:16] <Shocka311> Rpereira: I have a 10 gig HD and I just tried to add a slave HD but I'm having problems accessing the slave. I've formatted it several times and it leavs a lost and found file from before the format and It won't let me erase it. It won't let me write anything to it or even look at the file.  It says I am not the owner and I do not have permission to view or change the file.
[08:16] <rpereira> stefg: I have a PC (not my notebook) that has a ATA disk 10GB.
[08:16] <crowley1027> i dont think i did it that way.
[08:16] <agent> Takuya: you compiled it from source, right?
[08:16] <crowley1027> i don't know :'(
[08:16] <crowley1027> how do i upgrade to flash9
[08:16] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: also there's a recent one on the adobe site that came out in November IIRC
[08:16] <n1gke> w3ccv: Greetings and salutations from RI OM.
[08:16] <Takuya> agent no
[08:16] <agent> Takuya: is the wlan card removable?
[08:16] <Takuya> I installed it from CD.
[08:16] <Takuya> yeah it's a PCI card
[08:17] <crowley1027> thoreauputic: can you give me the link to install flash9?
[08:17] <agent> Takuya: 1) try to compile it or 2) get newest version from repo
[08:17] <crowley1027> thoreauputic: and tell me how to remove the old flash before i install flash9?
[08:17] <agent> Takuya: but if its removable, just replace it with a normal linux friendly card and be done with it - heck, you can even sell it after you get the new one
[08:17] <hjmills> anybody play half life 2 or ne steam games on cedega with ubuntu?
[08:17] <agent> Takuya: its just easier like that :)
[08:18] <w3ccv> Shocka311, lost+found is mormally 700 root.  No need for anybody else to use it.
[08:18] <Takuya> agent not THAT easy, my dad bought it with his money for all our comps. :p
[08:18] <rpereira> Shocka311: You have to create a directory as root and set permission to you... Do you want to do using Graphical Interface or Terminal?
[08:18] <Takuya> I might have the wrong .sys dirver though
[08:18] <Takuya> *driver
[08:18] <Takuya> I'll try reinstalling it from my CD
[08:18] <agent> Takuya: or if you want encouragement, do what i did, "accidently" step on and throw your windows hardware ;P
[08:19] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: it depends how you installed it ( removal) the linux flash beta is available from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/
[08:19] <rpereira> Shocka311: Lost and Found is ok on EXT partition.
[08:19] <Takuya> lol
[08:19] <agent> Takuya: i see, well, having the correct driver would help ;)
[08:19] <crowley1027> i installed it by downloading the package.
[08:19] <rpereira> Shocka311: And like w3ccv said, it's ok that permission.
[08:19] <violot> Why doesn't Alt+F2/Alt+F1 and whatnot change ttys anymore?
[08:19] <Shocka311> Rpereira: if you can guide mw through it i'd love to use terminal.  I'm trying to learn how.
[08:19] <KeenEars> people ! can i delete openoffice org and not ruin my desktop ?
[08:20] <agent> Takuya: i had my hardware destruction day years ago.... now i never buy any non-linux friendly hardware and and am missing nothing
[08:20] <h3xis> KeenEars, yes
[08:20] <KeenEars> tried to force it with dpkg -r but no success
[08:20] <n1gke> n2diy: Have we worked b/4 via c.w. ?? Your QRA is very familiar. . .
[08:20] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: if you installed with the package manager , uninstall the package. If not, look in the directory you installed it to ( either ~/.mozilla/plugins or the global directory for firefox plugins
[08:20] <kitche> violot: it does your probably in X which needs ctrl+alt+F1
[08:20] <KeenEars> it tries to delyte ubuntu-destop
[08:20] <n2diy> n1gke, same setup here dual 333mhz PIIIs.
[08:20] <agent> KeenEars: yes, just remove it... it will remove ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop but those are just empty packages there to make sure everything is installed when you upgrade
[08:20] <violot> kitche, that doesn't work
[08:20] <LinTux> what is the best HTML WYSIWYG editor for Linux
[08:21] <Takuya> found the cd
[08:21] <n2diy> n1gke, unlikely, I don't work much CW.
[08:21] <n1gke> n2diy: Cool. I have a HP Kayak, dual 750 Mhz CPU and dual monitors.
[08:21] <petafile> Any idea what's causing my comp to hang at boot?  Its after fsck and a warning about blacklisted ipv6 module.  When I hit ctrl-alt-delete it says processes rc5 and rc6 were killed by signal 15, then it runs fine
[08:21] <violot> kitche, nevermind, my bad
[08:21] <violot> Thanks
[08:21] <violot> XD
[08:21] <KeenEars> ok
[08:21] <agent> LinTux: what is the best chocolate?
[08:21] <n1gke> Must be anothe diy then.... ..
[08:21] <KeenEars> thanx. i used to think it`s metapackage but wasn`t sure
[08:21] <rpereira> Shocka311: OK. What is the name of your partition, or better where is mounted?
[08:21] <LinTux> ok then agent which do you recommend
[08:21] <n2diy> n1gke, hardware here is IBM MPro Intellistation, stand monitor setup.
[08:21] <thoreauputic> LinTux: you might like nvu
[08:21] <agent> KeenEars: thats what a metapackage is: empty package that makes sure other packages are installed
[08:22] <Shocka311> Rpereira: I've tried to use the graphical interface to reformat it with /root as the acessable
[08:22] <thoreauputic> !info nvu
[08:22] <ubotu> nvu: Complete Web Authoring System. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0final-2ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 8373 kB, installed size 26448 kB
[08:22] <Shocka311> Rpereira:  I don't know, how do I look at that?
[08:22] <KeenEars> thnx again. what a crowdy room
[08:22] <LinTux> cheers
[08:22] <n1gke> n2diy: rgr
[08:22] <Shocka311> Rpereira: I'm way new to linux
[08:22] <agent> LinTux: none really, i do it by hand (professionally) - but try nvu, ajunta, etc. search the ubuntuforums there are a ton of threads about this
[08:22] <rpereira> Shocka311: Like... /dev/hdb1 mounted on /myfiles
[08:23] <Shocka311> Rpereira: ah, let me look
[08:23] <hjmills> how come in gnome when looking at the network with nautilus sometimes (often) the icons dont appear and i cant connect but when i refresh they sometimes load and then it works?
[08:23] <rpereira> Shocka311: Let's go pvt... OK?
[08:23] <n1gke> n2diy: I can't wait to upgrade the dual video card here, it is just way too cool.....
[08:23] <idlemind> lintux: if i use anything besides VIM i would recommend bluefish
[08:23] <KeenEars> if ubuntu spreads even wider this channel will becom unusable
[08:23] <Shocka311> Rpereira: what does pvt mean?
[08:24] <LinTux> cheers idelmind
[08:24] <n1gke> n2diy: Next video card will employ 256 megs mem, and then I can really enjoy my science and astronomy stuff.
[08:24] <crowley1027> whoever: under Synaptic Package Manager, i see flashplayer-mozilla and flashplugin-nonfree (both unchecked).  should i install either, both, or none?
[08:24] <thoreauputic> KeenEars: getting that way already I'm afraid :(
[08:24] <w3ccv> LinTux, nvu is good, just barelyu. U don't like the way it reformats what you enter - remeinds me on MS - it thinks the uses doesn't know what he wants to do.
[08:24] <agent> LinTux: you hear most web designers wail at doing it by hand, but that is because they are designers and usually suck at coding - i code by hand much, much quicker then those "pro" designers with their fancy html programs - not to mention in the long run it pays of big time because of clean code
[08:24] <fruitfly> benutzt ihr bei eurem desktop PC LVM?
[08:24] <n2diy> n1gke, rr, are you familiar with Kstars?
[08:24] <KeenEars> maybe by splitting to different topics...
[08:24] <w3ccv> linlin, /U/I/
[08:24] <n1gke> n2diy: I love kstars !
[08:24] <Takuya> ok I'm rebooting and I'll see
[08:25] <Skyrail> Anyone managed to successfully set up two screens working as a stretched desktop using an ATi based card?
[08:25] <Shocka311> Rpereira: the partition is /dev/hdb there is curently no acess path and it won't let me save one.
[08:25] <n2diy> n1gke, rr, me too.
[08:25] <agent> fruitfly: #ubuntu-de
[08:25] <reverseblade> most asked question
[08:25] <fruitfly> agent, oh ^^
[08:25] <n1gke> n2diy: way cool !
[08:25] <LinTux> cheers agent
[08:25] <fruitfly> do you use LVM on your desktop pc / notebook?
[08:25] <rpereira> Shocka311: Lock the other tab on your IRC program... So we can talk in private....
[08:26] <agent> !ask > fruitfly
[08:26] <rpereira> Shocka311: Sorry..... Errata: Look the other tab...
[08:26] <philo23> i need to back up the packages of a hdd i have mounted, how can i set the root in the dpkg command?
[08:26] <n1gke> n2diy: Is now watching 2nd room, hamradio.
[08:26] <thoreauputic> LinTux: if you are used to WYSIWYG, try nvu first ( you can also use it to code directly)
[08:26] <idlemind> lintux & agent: i agree most of the semi-auto tools jack up code; they are good for quick dirty jobs but if you're making any sort of larger web-site; i'd recommend hand-coding but you can use gui tools to help w/that. bluefish will allow ftp access etc... to ease the pain
[08:27] <reverseblade> WYSIWYG sucks
[08:27] <stefg> philo23: chroot to the system and sudo dpkg --get-selections > selections.lst
[08:27] <crowley1027> where should i extract FP9_plugin_beta_112006.tar.gz?
[08:27] <thoreauputic> idlemind: the code nvu makes isn't pretty but at least it is compliant, in general
[08:27] <agent> idlemind: uhm... if you are using ftp "live" on a production website then something is wrong... i have a webserver installed on my computer for testing the whole website and upload the finished product... doing it otherwise is... well... horrible
[08:27] <h3xis> crowley1027, in your home directoy
[08:28] <crowley1027> which would be?
[08:28] <reverseblade> crowley1027, any where just copy the plugin to firefox/plugin
[08:28] <h3xis> crowley1027, ~
[08:28] <Feral_Kid> fruitfly> I actually use LVM and RAID on my laptop... I have 2 120G hard drives...
[08:28] <thoreauputic> reverseblade: some people don't need to learn all the html they need :)
[08:28] <philo23> stefg: eg: chroot /mnt/ubuntu?
[08:28] <crowley1027> File System?
[08:28] <stefg> philo23: yes
[08:28] <reverseblade> thoreauputic, that doesnt prevent WYSIWYG sucking
[08:29] <fruitfly> Feral_Kid, i have 1 80 gb hdd and i want to reinstall ubuntu, now i dont know how i should partitionate
[08:29] <idlemind> thoreauputic: yes code can be correct but it is always said in programming that clean/documented code is MUCH easier to maintain
[08:29] <thoreauputic> reverseblade: whatever - X sucks too ;) Let's all run in a vt !
[08:29] <rpereira> Shocka311: Where are you? I'm waiting in the other tab....
[08:29] <philo23> stefg: where would the file be outputted to?
[08:29] <thoreauputic> idlemind: agreed
[08:29] <agent> idlemind: but even "quick and dirty" websites can be done much quicker by hand... i mean: look how quick i can write: <table><tr><td></td</tr></table>  compared to open app -> wait to load -> select create table -> fill in everything -> ok ;)
[08:29] <markoutthere> how do I leave here?
[08:29] <markoutthere> :quit
[08:29] <crowley1027> h3xis: Extract to File System?
[08:29] <reverseblade> thoreauputic, no, X provides a common api for guis
[08:29] <crowley1027> markoutthere: /quit
[08:29] <thoreauputic> markl_: /part or /quit
[08:29] <Takuya> omfg
[08:29] <markoutthere> thanks
[08:29] <KeenEars> btw - who knows - was problems with reiserfs fixed in kubuntu 6.10 ?
[08:29] <Takuya> agent, it has my essid
[08:29] <philo23> stefg: doesnt matter, found it
[08:30] <Takuya> and an access point
[08:30] <markoutthere> : /quit
[08:30] <Takuya> o_o
[08:30] <agent> markoutthere: leave this channel?
[08:30] <stefg> philo23: where you want it (in the chroot) ... using my example you find it in the current one
[08:30] <thoreauputic> reverseblade: *sigh* I was kidding
[08:30] <markoutthere> yes
[08:30] <Takuya> YES
[08:30] <Takuya> IT WORKS
[08:30] <reverseblade> thoreauputic, so do I, X really sucks :)
[08:30] <Takuya> hallelujah
[08:30] <philo23> stefg: how do i get that back onto the new hdd?
[08:30] <stefg> exit
[08:30] <Takuya> I am never trusting the internet again for .sys drivers
[08:30] <crowley1027> h3xis: Extract to File System?
[08:30] <Takuya> amazing.
[08:30] <h3xis> crowley1027, no... extract it to /home/your_username then in there should be the plugin. extract it to your firefox plugins directory
[08:30] <agent> markoutthere: to leave this channel just type: /part
[08:30] <Feral_Kid> fruitfly> Well, from a single drive I would use LVM and then allow for growth on home directory...
[08:30] <Takuya> agent: whee. :)
[08:30] <stefg> chroot and cp /mnt/.... /foo/bar
[08:30] <agent> Takuya: haha... what did you do?
[08:31] <Shocka311> Rpereira: can you hear me in the other tab?
[08:31] <stefg> *exit* chroot and cp /mnt/.... /foo/bar
[08:31] <Takuya> installed the drivers from the official CD
[08:31] <Takuya> :p
[08:31] <agent> Takuya: doh! ;)
[08:31] <Skyrail> Anyone sucessfully managed to get dual screens working on Ubuntu 6.10 using an ATi gfx card?
[08:31] <crowley1027> h3xis: libflashplayer.so?
[08:31] <rpereira> Shocka311: You are not typing anithing....
[08:31] <philo23> stefg: how do i import it again?
[08:31] <h3xis> crowley1027, yes
[08:31] <crowley1027> h3xis: how do i send that to the firefox directory
[08:32] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: that's all there is to move, afaics
[08:32] <fruitfly> Feral_Kid, is LVM complicaed? i didnt work with it before
[08:32] <stefg> philo23: dpkg --set-selections ... read man dpkg
[08:32] <Shocka311> Rpereira: i did but you must not have got it,
[08:32] <philo23> Skyrail: *high five*
[08:32] <philo23> stefg: sorry
[08:32] <h3xis> crowley1027, cp libflashplayer.so /path/to/firefox/plugins i dont know where it is because i dont use firefox
[08:32] <rpereira> Shocka311: OK... So lets talk here...
[08:33] <rpereira> Shocka311: Is your patition mounted?
[08:33] <crowley1027> anyone: where is the firefox directory
[08:33] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: the README in the tarball says what to do I think
[08:33] <philo23> Skyrail: hello?
[08:33] <h3xis> crowley1027, check /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
[08:33] <Shocka311> Rpereira: I just tried pvt you again, did you get anything?
[08:33] <idlemind> find / -name "*firefox*"
[08:33] <h3xis> crowley1027, or /home/your_username/.firefox/plugins
[08:33] <reverseblade> Shocka311, hey whats up buddy
[08:34] <thoreauputic> h3xis: actually /home/you/.mozilla/plugins ( at least on dapper)
[08:34] <h3xis> thoreauputic, alright. i havent used firefox in forever ;)
[08:34] <Shocka311> Reverseblade: hey
[08:34] <thoreauputic> h3xis: epiphany uses the same dir
[08:34] <reverseblade> Shocka311, how is your linux adventure, still learning?
[08:34] <Shocka311> Rpereira: how do I mount my partition?
[08:34] <thoreauputic> for plugins ( at least it works here)
[08:35] <reverseblade> !mount  | Shocka311
[08:35] <ubotu> Shocka311: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[08:35] <Waldmeista> hey everyone...
[08:35] <Shocka311> reverseblade: oh ya. learnin away!
[08:35] <Waldmeista> i got a problem with the installation off the desktop live cd of ubuntu
[08:35] <Waldmeista> everything went fine but after a reboot, there was no grub to choose which os to boot so i ended up with windows again
[08:35] <crowley1027> h3xis: I don't see .firefox in the file browser.
[08:35] <h3xis> Waldmeista, which is?
[08:35] <h3xis> crowley1027, it's hidden.
[08:35] <unikon>  anyone whats the longest time that synaptic package manager  ever took to apply changes
[08:36] <reverseblade> Waldmeista, lol
[08:36] <crowley1027> got it :)
[08:36] <FirstStrike> Hmm..what was that bot trigger for grub
[08:36] <stefg> !grub | Waldmeista
[08:36] <ubotu> Waldmeista: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:36] <rpereira> Shocka311: Did got it?
[08:36] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: ctrl + h in nautilus, and try .mozilla/plugins
[08:36] <FirstStrike> Oh, just that
[08:36] <Feral_Kid> Nope it isn't that bad... I would suggest that you take a look at 'Ubuntu Hacks' to get an understanding of it...
[08:36] <Waldmeista> ubotu Ok, i'll read that, but I didn't install windows after ubuntu
[08:36] <h3xis> thoreauputic, firefox 2 doesnt have its own directory anymore?
[08:37] <reverseblade> Waldmeista, he is a bot
[08:37] <Shocka311> Rpereira: /dev/hdb1
[08:37] <thoreauputic> h3xis: not sure - I'm on dapper here
[08:37] <stefg> Waldmeista: ubotu is the bot :) ... and this applies to your case, even if you didn't reinstall windows
[08:37] <h3xis> thoreauputic, me neither. im on debian ;)
[08:37] <Waldmeista> i know that now, that he told me :-)
[08:37] <Shocka311> Rpereira: I have it mounted in home/user and I've named the folder hdslave
[08:37] <Waldmeista> ok
[08:38] <Shocka311> Rpereira: it won't let me write anything to it.
[08:38] <rpereira> Shocka311: And if you write on terminal: mount.... Do you have a line "/dev/hdb1 on /home/user/hdslave" ?
[08:38] <w3ccv> thoreauputic, /usr/local/bin/firefox - actually whereever you install it.
[08:38] <thoreauputic> global dir for firefox plugins appears to be /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
[08:39] <thoreauputic> w3ccv: that only applies if you installed a non-packaged version
[08:39] <crowley1027> how do i find the process list?
[08:39] <Udi> does anyone know the name of a good irc server for Linux/Ubuntu?
[08:39] <h3xis> has anyone had any luck getting mplayer-plugin to work with opera?
[08:39] <thoreauputic> w3ccv: I mean a non-ubuntu version
[08:39] <w3ccv> thoreauputic, right - I only install it straight from mozilla
[08:39] <alper__> Hi, i got a little prob: i have a usb mass storage (psp) plugged to my ubuntu system, and every time when I want to delete something, it doesnt really get deleted, it just get moved to the trashband, when I plug off the psp, the data I wanted to be deleted are still there
[08:40] <crowley1027> how do i get a process list in terminal?
[08:40] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: ps aux
[08:40] <Shocka311> Rpereira: I have a line /dv/hdb1
[08:40] <Shocka311> Rpereira: /dev
[08:40] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: you might want to pipe that through less - ps aux | less
[08:40] <h3xis> alper, are you unmounting it when you are finished?
[08:40] <venik> does anyone know the name of a good irc server for Linux/Ubuntu?
[08:40] <rpereira> Shocka311: And what is the rest of the line?
[08:41] <alper__> no, im used to not to do that (from win)
[08:41] <thoreauputic> crowley1027: or use "top" for real-time updates
[08:41] <alper__> no, im used to not to do that (from win) h3xis
[08:41] <h3xis> alper, youre supposed to. could be the problem
[08:41] <Shocka311> Rpereira: /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[08:41] <alper__> ok thanks :(
[08:41] <h3xis> alper__, do you know how to do that
[08:41] <alper__> i think i know
[08:42] <rpereira> Shocka311: And /dev/sdb1 ?
[08:42] <alper__> rightclick on the storage and check "Eject"
[08:42] <h3xis> alper__, it should appear as a volume on your desktop, click eject
[08:42] <alper__> yes
[08:42] <h3xis> :)
[08:42] <alper__> thanks again
[08:42] <venik> no one uses IRC anymore?
[08:42] <Waldmeista> i guess the grub entry was written to my linux partition instead of the master boot record?
[08:42] <thoreauputic> venik: ?
[08:43] <kitche> venik: unrealircd dancer there is many that are good
[08:43] <Waldmeista> during intall there was something to choose where to install it to where i left it at hd0
[08:43] <Shocka311> It doesn't say anything about /dev/sdbl
[08:43] <thoreauputic> venik: apt-cache search irc server
[08:43] <venik> thanks.  That helps
[08:43] <rpereira> Shocka311: This means that your new partition/disk is not mounted.
[08:43] <kitche> Waldmeista: hd0 is the mbr
[08:44] <thoreauputic> !ircd
[08:44] <ubotu> ircd: IRC Server daemon - dummy package. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0 (edgy), package size 6 kB, installed size 36 kB
[08:44] <Waldmeista> ok, then why does it but windows instead of grub?
[08:44] <Shocka311>  rpereira: K, how do I mount it?
[08:44] <Waldmeista> *boot*
[08:44] <chorse> kitche: you mean hda?
[08:44] <kitche> chorse: no grub does hd0 for drives hd0 or hd1 if you have two drives or whatever for the mbr
[08:45] <rpereira> Shocka311: So you have to mount it, thru command: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mydirectory               I'm supposed that you've already create the directory, in my case : /mydirectory....
[08:45] <crowley1027> www.myspace.com/verismo   :)
[08:45] <chorse> kitche: ah, it's about grub, i'm sorry
[08:45] <kitche> Waldmeista: did you install ubuntu after windows or before
[08:45] <prisoner> mmm.. Ubuntu with Apache 2.2 and Trac goodness... http://www.rubystarman.org/wiki/UbuntuEdgyEft
[08:45] <Waldmeista> after
[08:45] <Waldmeista> i have 2 hds one primary master one primary slave
[08:46] <rpereira> Shocka311: If you didn't create the directory do: sudo mkdir /mydirectory
[08:46] <Waldmeista> on the master disk I created a ext3 and a swap partition
[08:46] <Waldmeista> during the setup i left the default hd0 to install grub to
[08:46] <kitche> Waldmeista: so it just boots into windows and doesn't give you the ubuntu usplash is that what your saying
[08:46] <Shocka311>  rpereira: do I need to create a directory?
[08:46] <Pirate-king> hello
[08:46] <jhall> how can i assign a static private network address to my box? something like <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:47] <h3xis> jhall, in Networking
[08:47] <Waldmeista> kitche exactly
[08:47] <Pirate-king> can ubuntu interface with a canon camera
[08:47] <thoreauputic> jhall: I don't usually point at man pages - but try man interfaces
[08:47] <Shocka311>  rpereira: in place of /mydirectory should I put the access path I want?
[08:47] <kitche> Waldmeista: ok then you will have to reinstall grub then
[08:47] <stefg> Waldmeista: the problem is that grub disn't installed to the mbr of the first harddisk. it's still the windows boot loader there, which simply ignores the existence of any other OS
[08:47] <Skyrail> :| anyone know how to edit the xorg.conf file to get dual screens working?
[08:47] <factotum> so Im passing on my old Mac G4 to my girlfiend...  Linux a good way to go?
[08:47] <thoreauputic> jhall: you can also do it in the system networking GUI as h3xis says
[08:48] <kitche> !grub|Waldmeista this will tell you how to reinstall grub
[08:48] <ubotu> Waldmeista this will tell you how to reinstall grub: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:48] <rpereira> Shocka311: Yes, instead /mydirectory you have to put the access path that you want.
[08:48] <jhall> thoreauputic: thanks, I'll check it out. I tried it through the networking gui a while back but didn't work right. don't remember why
[08:48] <mike1o> how do i know where a soft link originates from?
[08:48] <Waldmeista> ok, so i just follow the advice from the document where it says ...overwriting windows boot loader ok?
[08:48] <Menasim1> How can I use CVS??
[08:48] <thoreauputic> jhall: editing /etc/network/interfaces isn't too hard :)
[08:49] <stefg> Waldmeista: exactly
[08:49] <unikon> can anyone help with this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38544/
[08:49] <Shocka311>  rpereira: so it should be  /home/user/Hdslave right?
[08:49] <kitche> mike1o you can do ls -l on the symlink and it will on the right side say where the link is pointing to
[08:49] <venik> has anyone convinced UBUNTU to recognize the Nvidia graphics?
[08:49] <factotum> how is ubuntu performance wise compared to debian these days? Snappy as a debian install finally?
[08:49] <mike1o> tnx kitche
[08:49] <factotum> Im not flaming here, just want to know, ive been out of the loop for a while
[08:49] <rpereira> Shocka311: OK....
[08:50] <h3xis> factotum, it uses a gui now.
[08:50] <stefg> factotum: no difference, i'd say
[08:50] <factotum> awsome, how is it performance wise?
[08:50] <factotum> oh cool
[08:50] <thoreauputic> factotum: Ubuntu is *very* similar to Debian
[08:51] <factotum> thats great that its similar, but i want to know how it compares performance wise, is it sluggish like suse or does it have that pep like slackware or debian?
[08:51] <h3xis> debian is not as sugar coated
[08:51] <Shocka311> sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /home/user/Hdslave
[08:51] <Shocka311>  it says its already mounted there.
[08:52] <Intelligitimate> I am concerned about security as a user. There is only one user account. Am I the root user? It always asks me for a password when I do stuff, so I'm not sure.
[08:52] <h3xis> factotum, i prefer debian (using it now) but when i used edgy it seemed to perform the same. i just like more control over my system
[08:52] <thoreauputic> factotum: I think slackware is probably still quicker - but I haven't used it for a while
[08:52] <Shocka311> rpereira: it says its already mounted there.
[08:52] <Skyrail> Intelligitimate: no your not root, the roto account is seperate unless you log on with the name root
[08:52] <factotum> Im all for the ease of use, its sounds like its progressed in leaps and bounds, but it seems like the tradeoff is always performance
[08:52] <Skyrail> *root
[08:52] <Intelligitimate> So as long as I don't log in as root, I am not root?
[08:52] <aliendream23> how would I use shred to effectively 'wipe' a hard drive or partition clean, when that partition has no file directory?
[08:53] <thoreauputic> factotum: if you do minimal installs and build up, Ubuntu can be pretty quick - or try xubuntu ( xfce4 destop)
[08:53] <Rector> is the original ATI driver better than fglrx?
[08:53] <h3xis> Rector, no
[08:53] <Intelligitimate> But why is the sudo password the same as my login password?
[08:53] <thoreauputic> Intelligitimate: because that's how sudo works :)
[08:53] <Intelligitimate> Sudo is not root, buyt something else?
[08:53] <factotum> thoreauputic: cool cool i like xfce and fluxbox quite a bit
[08:53] <thoreauputic> Intelligitimate: only the first user is allowed sudo by default
[08:53] <stefg> !root
[08:53] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:54] <thoreauputic> factotum: +1 for fluxbox :)
[08:54] <MenZa> When I use ftp, I get "/home/menza/wp/: not a plain file" and it refuses to put. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?
[08:54] <factotum> haha thanks :)
[08:54] <factotum> 1up!
[08:54] <rpereira> Shocka311: So, if you type: mount, will appear "/dev/hdb1 on /home/user/HDSlave" or similar.
[08:54] <aliendream23> !shred
[08:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shred - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:54] <ifwr> anyone have any ideas as to why grip keeps making improper mp3 files?
[08:54] <MenZa> !ftp
[08:54] <ubotu> FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[08:54] <kitche> MenZa: the ftp command line program can't do anything with directories
[08:54] <MenZa> kitche: oh.
[08:54] <factotum> !blastbeat
[08:54] <thoreauputic> factotum: I compile fluxbox from the latest svn if possible though
[08:54] <MenZa> blast.
[08:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about blastbeat - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:55] <MenZa> Thanks, kitche
[08:55] <stefg> MenZa: consider mc
[08:55] <malikeye> Intelligitimate: sudo give you root privileges based on your password, you don't need root password.... that's the point
[08:55] <Intelligitimate> Ah.
[08:55] <thoreauputic> Intelligitimate: if you need a root shel, you can type sudo -i
[08:55] <Shocka311> Yep, there it is
[08:55] <malikeye> granted if sudo isn't implemented right ( well it can happen anyway ) you can get root access with sudo
[08:55] <oidia> where is my "irssi_dir" ?
[08:55] <MenZa> stefg: mc?
[08:55] <stefg> !mc
[08:55] <factotum> thoreauputic:  okay thanks
[08:55] <ubotu> mc: midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-5 (edgy), package size 2057 kB, installed size 5944 kB
[08:55] <MenZa> ooh
[08:55] <malikeye> full root access, that is
[08:55] <kitche> oidia: the user config directory is ~/.irssi
[08:56] <factotum> mmmm.... mc
[08:56] <MenZa> stefg: I will
[08:56] <MenZa> I don't like gftp much.
[08:56] <thoreauputic> factotum: but the Ubuntu fluxbox package for edgy is the latest I think
[08:56] <malikeye> oidia: ~/.irssi
[08:56] <oidia> kitche: but the directory neaded to compile libfish?
[08:56] <oidia> ok, thanks
[08:56] <rpereira> Shocka311: So it is mounted.... To check if it will be mounted everytime is just edit a file called /etc/fstab
[08:56] <bashir> hey
[08:57] <bashir> i just isntalled beryl
[08:57] <Waldmeista> kitche when I print the partitions on my master harddisk with fdisk it shows me only one partition which is HPFS/NTFS where are all the others?? I have several (one primary, one extended containing 2 logical NTFS volumes) and finally the linux partitions
[08:57] <factotum> yeah, i have an old dapper beta install cd, but i think i might just nab the edgy iso instead of dist-upgrading
[08:57] <Shocka311> rpereira: i don't understant
[08:57] <malikeye> Shocka311: be careful editing fstab though
[08:57] <logox> hi all
[08:57] <logox> my name is logo
[08:57] <bashir> the beryl effects are fine but emerald isnt owrking
[08:57] <n1gke> hi logo
[08:57] <bashir> there are no title bars on my windows
[08:57] <Shocka311> what is fstam
[08:57] <Shocka311> b
[08:57] <logox> n1gke: naslsn
[08:57] <thoreauputic> factotum: probably a better way, yes - if you like xfce4 you can get a xubuntu CD
[08:57] <rpereira> Shocka311: If a line "/dev/hdb1 /home/user/HDSlave" exists.... Your partition will be mounted everytime.....
[08:58] <n1gke> logox: where are you please ?
[08:58] <malikeye> it's where the kernel looks to mount filesystems at boot time, primarily
[08:58] <thoreauputic> factotum: then install fluxbox :)
[08:58] <bashir> does anyone know what i should do?
[08:58] <kitche> Waldmeista: then that drives probably only has one partition, but then again I don't use fdisk that much in Linux so they might be there just that fdisk can't see them
[08:58] <logox> n1gke: i m from turkey
[08:58] <logox> U?
[08:58] <n1gke> logox: Cool ! I am in north east u.s.
[08:58] <Shocka311> rpereira: when I exit out of disk manager and get back in the access path is gone and it doesn't apear to be mounted.
[08:59] <thoreauputic> bashir: what does  pidof metacity  return ?
[08:59] <n1gke> logox: Are you in Ankara please ?
[08:59] <gop> !mesa
[08:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mesa - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:59] <gop> why is downloading some mesa update
[08:59] <gop> so slow
[08:59] <gop> less then one k
[08:59] <bashir> 4964
[08:59] <rpereira> OK.
[08:59] <thoreauputic> bash: OK so the window manager is running
[09:00] <factotum> thoreauputic: could i do some kind of minimal install and just add as needed instead of some big foo-desktop metapackage?
[09:00] <Waldmeista> kitche, my mistake - remembered gparted and that shows me that my relevant partitions are on /dev/sda
[09:00] <gop> the computer asked me to install foo update and it taking for ever less then one k
[09:00] <rpereira> Shocka311: Are you using Dapper (version 6.06)? Or edgy (6.10)?
[09:00] <Shocka311> rpereira: I enabled the hd but I still can't use it or edit the permission properties
[09:00] <malikeye> Isn't ankara where the sankara stones are ?
[09:00] <thoreauputic> factotum: sure - use the alternate Cd for that
[09:00] <Shocka311> rpereira: Dapper
[09:00] <rpereira> Shocka311: OK.
[09:00] <factotum> alright, like a server install or something?
[09:01] <thoreauputic> factotum: then install x-window-system-core xterm fluxbox and go from there
[09:01] <stefg> factotum: if you feel comfortable with apt at the command prompt you can do a 'server'-install and then add componenets as neede
[09:01] <stefg> d
[09:01] <rpereira> Shocka311: But when you exit Disk manager your disk is not mounted anymore?
[09:01] <factotum> stefg: cool beans yeah im comfy-cozy with apt-get and aptitude
[09:01] <Waldmeista> the manual says "my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub" my linux partition is /dev/sda3 would that translate to hd0,2 ?
[09:01] <thoreauputic> factotum: yes, although edgy calls it something else I think ( there are F* prompts in theinstaller to check)
[09:01] <Shocka311> rpereira: thats what has happened in the past, let me try now that I mounted it with terminal.
[09:02] <kitche> Waldmeista: ah you have a SATA system?
[09:02] <factotum> thoreauputic: yeah i googled around and see that its easily possible
[09:02] <Waldmeista> yep
[09:02] <factotum> thankfully
[09:02] <Waldmeista> ah, ok thats the s in /dev/sda then right?
[09:02] <n1gke> Well dang.
[09:02] <malikeye> Waldmeista: kinda
[09:03] <Shocka311> rpereira: its still mounted this time.
[09:03] <PriceChild> Waldmeista, won't that mean sd0,6 etc.?
[09:03] <kitche> Waldmeista: yea if you are running a pure SATA setup
[09:03] <malikeye> it's actually SCSI, but SATA is emulated as SCSI
[09:03] <thoreauputic> factotum: I did it on an old P 200 64MB RAM - but that was breezy, not a current release ( about a year ago)
[09:03] <jontec>  I used this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting to try to fix my sound... and now kmix isn't even detecting my sound card!!! HELP!
[09:03] <Waldmeista> no, my primary master is sata, the slave is ide
[09:03] <rpereira> Shocka311: OK. To make your mount permantent you have to add it on "fstab" file, but with very caution....
[09:03] <malikeye> ~fstab
[09:03] <malikeye> !fstab
[09:03] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[09:03] <thoreauputic> factotum: sadly that old workhorse finally died :(
[09:04] <factotum> aw, thats too bad
[09:04] <Shocka311> rpereira: ok, what is fstab and how do I do that
[09:04] <thoreauputic> factotum: :'(
[09:04] <factotum> i still have an old pentium mmx with 32megs, it has freebsd on it but not really doing anything at the moment
[09:04] <Aragorn_Elessar> Hi all!
[09:04] <thoreauputic> factotum: dtill in mourning ;-)
[09:05] <factotum> haha
[09:05] <thoreauputic> umm s/dtill/still
[09:05] <thoreauputic> factotum: these new fangled boxen just aren't the same ;-)
[09:05] <timtrimble> can anyone help?  my sb16pci won't work in ubuntu.  i've modprobed it, it doesn't detect it as a soundblaster 16, but it does find it as an ensoniq 1371 and 1370.  i know that that's the chipset of the card, but I don't know why it still doesn't work.
[09:05] <rpereira> Shocka311: Fstab is a text file: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html as ubotu said.... This file defines the partiontions mounted when you start your computer or define a option to mount later.
[09:06] <Aragorn_Elessar> has anyboby problems with the latest edgy kernel?
[09:06] <Alakazamz0r> whats the latest edgy kernel?
[09:06] <Waldmeista> PriceChild why sd0,6 - i understand the sd0 but why the 6 ?
[09:06] <malikeye> timtrimble: did you unmute all the channels ?
[09:06] <reverseblade> Aragorn_Elessar, what kernel  ?
[09:06] <Alakazamz0r> 2.6.17-10 ?
[09:06] <factotum> oh i know, i still have my old hp vectra  piibox. its still up and running
[09:06] <reverseblade> I am using <IP_ADDRESS>. This devil is bleeding fast
[09:06] <linnuxxy> how to install ZipArchive for php5 in dapper?
[09:06] <Shocka311> rpereira: got it, so how do I edit that and what to?
[09:06] <PriceChild> Waldmeista, i'm not sute about the sd, but grub starts counting from
[09:06] <timtrimble> malikeye: the mixer doesn't even come up because alsa doesn't detect a sound card
[09:06] <PriceChild> 0
[09:06] <MenZa> stefg: I decided on mc. How do I connect to an ftp server in the right window?
[09:06] <Waldmeista> ok
[09:06] <timtrimble> malikeye:  just gives an err
[09:07] <Asker> hi
[09:07] <timtrimble> hi asker
[09:07] <MenZa> panel*
[09:07] <x-r00t-x> how do i make default Gentoo terminal. on ubuntu edgy?
[09:07] <Asker> hi there
[09:07] <factotum> its also running freebsd with blackbox and dillo for a browser if i need it, plays music and whatnot. Its more or less a jukebox now
[09:07] <stefg> MenZa: please see the mc documentation
[09:07] <Asker> timt
[09:07] <timtrimble> ?
[09:07] <MenZa> stefg: ok
[09:07] <malikeye> timtrimble: cat /proc/asound/cards
[09:08] <timtrimble> malikeye:  "no soundcards"
[09:08] <Asker> i am new on linux
[09:08] <factotum> my girlfriend and I pretty much have a bsd household right now. OSX and freebsd everywhere
[09:08] <thoreauputic> factotum: yes, surprising what can be done with a bit of knowledge and lightweight apps
 I updated at the last version 2.6.17something-34 , I'm in windows now and the internet connection is broken in Edgy
[09:08] <x-r00t-x> how do i make default Gentoo terminal. on ubuntu edgy?can anyone tell me how do i make default Gentoo terminal colors . on ubuntu edgy?
[09:08] <factotum> thoreauputic: oh i love it, theres a use for every system in some way or another
[09:09] <thoreauputic> factotum: OS-X doesn't impress me much ( and mangles the file system)
[09:09] <timtrimble> x-r00t-x:  was wondering the same thing
  2.6.17something-34
[09:09] <x-r00t-x> timtrimble, ya. got any idea?
[09:09] <Alakazamz0r> im using the 2.6.17-10 kernel, it seems to be the latest stable Aragorn_Elessar
[09:09] <timtrimble> x-r00t-x:  no clue.  =/
[09:09] <thoreauputic> factotum: I have an iBook dual boot but I mostly use mac-on-linux for codecs etc and hardly ever boot OS-X
[09:09] <factotum> thoreauputic: yeah I know, its a hand-me-down from my broher. ive been using it for a couple months. Now I have a decent PC system to get up and running
[09:09] <jb0nd38372> Is there a software package that will allow you to pull pictures off a motorola cell? (sliver, l6, etc, razr)  I found plenty that sync with the phone book but none with the multimedia features
[09:10] <rpereira> Shocka311: First use the command: cat /etc/fstab          just to see if /dev/sdb1 is there....
[09:10] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: PS1='\[\033[01;32m\] \u@\h\[\033[01;34m\]  \w \$\[\033\]  '
[09:10] <malikeye> that's for non-root
[09:10] <thoreauputic> factotum: ubuntu runs faster than OS-X on my ppc iBook :)
[09:10] <factotum> I actually prefer the old os8 and whatnot, the last time i used a mac
[09:10] <x-r00t-x> on where ?
[09:10] <x-r00t-x> where i put it ?
[09:10] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: you need to 'export' that somewhere like ~/.bashrc
[09:10] <Alakazamz0r> thoreauputic, thats not surprising ;)
[09:10] <thoreauputic> Alakazamz0r: I know :)
[09:11] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: so : echo 'export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\] \u@\h\[\033[01;34m\]  \w \$\[\033\]  ''
[09:11] <malikeye> sorry
 I reboot , so I can control the exact version
[09:11] <thoreauputic> Alakazamz0r: actually even mac-on-linux runs faster ( better kernel I guess)
[09:11] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: so : echo 'export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\] \u@\h\[\033[01;34m\]  \w \$\[\033\]  ''  >> ~/.bashrc
[09:11] <idlemind> probably lighter gui code more likely
[09:11] <Alakazamz0r> thoreauputic, hehe
[09:11] <Waldmeista> ok, when i type root (sd0,2) in grub i get an "error 23: error while parsing number"
[09:11] <POVaddct> MenZa: open mc menu, Right -> FTP link ... -> user@hostname
[09:11] <malikeye> ssh root@ulyses
[09:12] <malikeye> woops :)
[09:12] <Waldmeista> when i type root (hd0,2) i get an "partition does not exist"
[09:12] <MenZa> POVaddct: oh.
[09:12] <MenZa> Thanks :)
[09:12] <x-r00t-x> malikeye, may i have to restart to make it work?
[09:12] <factotum> thoreauputic: that really doesnt suprize me. the ppc hardware is really quite nice, but the OS is just a bit over the top for my tastes. I dont know much about the tech specs of it.
[09:12] <linnuxxy> how to install php_zip.so for php5 in dapper?
[09:12] <thoreauputic> idlemind: OS-X uses a micro kernel - it;s always busily hunting around for something ;)
[09:12] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: source ~/.bashrc
[09:13] <Shocka311> rpereira: no it's not there, there is a /dev/hda5 that has no mount point
[09:13] <stefg> Waldmeista: i'm not sure  grub knows 's'da... grub just numbers hd0,1,2
[09:13] <x-r00t-x> malikeye,
[09:13] <x-r00t-x> export PS1=[033[01
[09:13] <x-r00t-x> bash: 32m] u@h[033[01: command not found
[09:13] <x-r00t-x> bash: 34m] : command not found
[09:13] <Shocka311> rpereira: I have no idea what that would be.
[09:13] <malikeye> k... might need to manually add it, not sure of the environment you have
[09:13] <idlemind> thoreauputic: ahh; as in micro kernel do you mean everything is basically a module; so it has to load all kinds of stuff?
[09:13] <wyld> what does an "out of range" error mean on a dell CPU fan error?
[09:13] <thoreauputic> idlemind: yes
[09:13] <malikeye> just edit ~/.bashrc and add the : export .........
[09:14] <Waldmeista> stefg ok then my second approach should actually work..
[09:14] <rpereira> Shocka311: OK. Do you have /dev/hda5 ?
[09:14] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: let me check ubuntu box, one sec
[09:14] <thoreauputic> idlemind: a CS lecturer told me that the OS-X kernel sucks ( don't know enough to say if he's right)
[09:14] <icilize> anyone know why my connection is killed when i use klibido? i download at about 1,200 kb/s for 10 minutes and then the connection on this computer stops, but when i restart it works again
[09:14] <MenZa> stefg: thanks, that did it.
[09:14] <MenZa> I'll definitely use that more :)
[09:14] <linnuxxy> i need to compile php_zip.so for php5 in ubuntu dapper (6.06) where can i find the source?
[09:15] <Shocka311> rpereira: would that be a hard drive named hda5?
[09:15] <linnuxxy> how to install php_zip.so for php5 in dapper?
[09:15] <idlemind> thoreauputic: lol; ya i don't devel kernels so for me i have to rely on others to tell me the insidds
[09:15] <x-r00t-x> malikeye, sure :)
[09:16] <stefg> Waldmeista: ' find /boot/grub/stage1' at the grub prompt will tell you, how grub sees your harddisks
[09:16] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: works fine here
[09:16] <x-r00t-x> malikeye,  its not working fine with me
[09:16] <thoreauputic> idlemind: in Revolution OS, RMS implies that the fact that the HURD is a microkernel made it hard to get it working - very tough to debug apparently
[09:16] <malikeye> just manually add this to the bottom of ~/.bashrc : export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\] \u@\h\[\033[01;34m\]  \w \$\[\033\]  '
[09:16] <kalila> linnuxxy: php_zip module is usually built in
[09:16] <x-r00t-x> can yo give me the tect again
[09:16] <malikeye> exactly  like that
[09:16] <kalila> try enabling it in php.ini
[09:16] <x-r00t-x> malikeye, with : ?
[09:16] <kalila> linnuxxy: i know it was for php4, not sure about 5
[09:16] <kalila> though
[09:16] <ixian_> can someone tell me how to make an .iso from a cd-rom? i want to make an iso of my windows 95 cd
[09:16] <malikeye> vi or nano or whatever you use

[09:20] <_3lj> hey all, im trying to install x-server, and folling the advice on http://techbycolin.com/?p=88 and im ub to "startx" and exiting, but upon exiting i see a whole load of "Could not init font path element" errors, anyone got any idea where im going wrong? :-/
[09:20] <malikeye> don't know to tell you... try su - r00t-fck
[09:20] <timtrimble> can anyone help?  my sb16pci won't work in ubuntu.  i've modprobed it, it doesn't detect it as a soundblaster 16, but it does find it as an ensoniq 1371 and 1370.  i know that that's the chipset of the card, but I don't know why it still doesn't work.
[09:20] <astaroh> where is the server from??
[09:20] <x-r00t-x> thoreauputic, man i am newbie on it . so i have no idea

[09:25] <cius> question about xorg, I have multiple device, monitor, and screen sections setup for my two monitors, my computer monitor and my television.  the television is screen 1, and computer monitor is screen 0.  if I setup a server layout for just the television, should "startx -- -layout TVOnly" not start xorg only upon the television?  TVOnly would be the identifier of the server layout for just the tv.

[09:26] <nolimitsoya> ifwr, i can recommend abcde

[09:28] <ifwr> I really want to use lame and it is installed just fine
[09:28] <cius> timtrimble, would you mind possible pastebinning your xorg.conf for me?  I can compare it to mine and see if I see any major differences

[09:30] <mwalker_mewconsu> do I have any other options?

[09:31] <Waldmeista> stefg with gparted you can assign various flags to partitions like boot, hidden, lba, lvm, palo, prep, raid - my primary windows partition for example has a boot flag set
[09:31] <malikeye> supposedly they will have xi-fi drivers this year :)
[09:31] <cius> timtrimble, I'll try that, but I think I've tried it before. I'll brb, gonna see if it works.
[09:31] <malikeye> x-r00t-x: you can't just add the line to the bottom of the file ? :)

[09:31] <Waldmeista> @anyone: does my /dev/sda3 linux partition have to have the boot flag set for that to work??
[09:31] <x-r00t-x> malikeye, can you give me those 2 line again . please
[09:32] <x-r00t-x> i have just lost 1 line
[09:32] <stefg> Waldmeista: ah... don't worry. grub takes care of that, it's only the stupid DOS bootloader which needs 'active'-flags
[09:32] <nolimitsoya> can i resize a partition and xfs filesystem towards the beginning of the drive, if so how?
[09:32] <timtrimble> cius:  k, i think it was something wierd like that
[09:32] <thoreauputic> Waldmeista: linux doesn't need the bootable flag for a bootable partition as long as grub points at your kernel

[09:38] <mnoir> tigafan09: google is your friend: look for 'jmicron ubuntu' and start reading
[09:38] <malikeye> ixian_: it shouldn't be mounted when you do that, and you need to make sure of where your cdrom is in the /dev tree
[09:38] <daggerx> instead of /dev/cdrom
[09:38] <thoreauputic> jared_: run sudo update-alternatives --config java
[09:38] <jared_> thanks :)
[09:38] <timtrimble> cius:  i forget what eventually got it to work.  i'll email my xorg.conf if you like
[09:38] <thoreauputic> :)
[09:38] <Shocka311> rpereira: yes it still seems to be mounted.  Can I exit out of fstab and I'll check.
[09:39] <ixian_> malikeye, well i tried /dev/cdrw but that doesnt work either. how can i found where it is in /dev?
[09:39] <timtrimble> malikeye:  no clue.
[09:39] <mwalker_mewconsu> does Ubuntu come with preinstalled wireless access software?
[09:39] <daggerx> <<<used /media/cdrom   and got it to work instead of /dev/cdrom
[09:39] <tigafan09> mnoir... i have been tearing up google looking for the solution, the only thing i can find is threads from months ago
[09:39] <cius> timtrimble, could you pastebin it?
[09:39] <timtrimble> cius:  yeah gimme a sec
[09:39] <malikeye> ixian_: try like daggerx said... /media/cdrom
[09:39] <thoreauputic> Anon58488: why would you want apt to install something to the wrong directory?
[09:39] <ifwr> nolimitsoya, so how do I edit it to not look for oggenc
[09:39] <alper> hi, my ubuntu always logs off, when i type shitf+backspace, how can i turn that off?
[09:39] <malikeye> timtrimble: can you look ? :)
[09:39] <cius> timtrimble, I appreciate it, very much.  :-)
[09:40] <mnoir> tigafan09: well It doesn't seem that anybody else here has anything they want to contribute.
[09:40] <Anon58488> thoreau: im trying to chroot a program but i require sendmail
[09:40] <Shocka311> rpereira: its still mounted
[09:40] <un_operateur> ixian_, this ought to tell you --  sudo hdparm -i /dev/hd?
[09:40] <timtrimble> malikeye:  hold on
[09:40] <Anon58488> thoreau: i dont want to spend a while installing sendmail by source

[09:40] <Skyrail> I'm trying to get two dual screens, anyone got any idea?
[09:40] <timtrimble> skyrail:
[09:40] <thoreauputic> Anon58488: would you not install from your chroot?
[09:40] <jared_> thoreauputic, well it wasin't in there, so I went back just to make sure it wasn't a dream that i installed it, said the dpkg was interrupted...thanks for the help anyways XD
[09:40] <LinuxNewb7331> can anyone help me install an nvidia video driver, if that is the problem, through the text mode?
[09:40] <timtrimble> there are guides on ubuntuforums, skyrail
[09:40] <rpereira> Shocka311: Is your username "user"?
[09:41] <Anon58488> thoreauputic: how?
[09:41] <Skyrail> timtrimble: ok thanks
[09:41] <malikeye> alper: look for xtrap in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[09:41] <tiede> hi. I just removed KDE (and therefore kdm) from my system and am coming back to GNOME - KDE is waaaay to bloated :( Now, when the system starts, I have to start gdm myself, it does not load automatically. I tried both dpkg-reconfigure and reinstalling, but to no avail. How do I make gdm load automatically on startup (like it used to before)?
[09:41] <thoreauputic> Anon58488: I assume your chroot is a complet Ubuntu with apt etc installed?
[09:41] <malikeye> timtrimble: pastebin it if you can
[09:41] <alper> and then?
[09:41] <alper> malikeye,
[09:41] <malikeye> is it there ?
[09:41] <sharperguy> When I'm editing the live cd (by decompressing the filesystem) can I load an xserver from it (ie by killing gdm, chrooting into it and typing gdm)?
[09:41] <Anon58488> thor: chroot is where the user's root directory is changed
[09:41] <alper> sec
[09:41] <thoreauputic> !chroot | Anon58488
[09:41] <ubotu> Anon58488: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[09:42] <Anon58488> okay
[09:42] <malikeye> alper: if not, add it to your "Module" section
[09:42] <malikeye> Load        "xtrap"
[09:42] <un_operateur> tiede, perhaps this -- sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm
[09:42] <thoreauputic> Anon58488: I know what a chroot is
[09:42] <Shocka311> rpereira: yes
[09:42] <ixian_> un_operateur, thanks a lot :D turns out it was /dev/hdd
[09:42] <un_operateur> ixian_, :)
[09:42] <alper> what was the command to open it malikeye ? sudo...?
[09:42] <alper> sudo + further?
[09:42] <grndslm> soo...i've asked this before and gotten a couple different answers:  are the C2Duos really more efficient than the Core Duos?
[09:42] <Waldmeista> ok, the problem with grub not loading at boot time is gone, but now grub doesn
[09:42] <thoreauputic> Anon58488: I've used debootstrap to make chroots
[09:42] <malikeye> sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:42] <Waldmeista> it doesnt load linux correctly
[09:42] <tigafan09> I'm tryin to install Ubuntu 6.10 on a computer with an Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard (Intel 975X chipset). I think its conflicting with the Jmicron IDE Controller on the board. Any ideas? Please and thanks!
[09:42] <LinuxNewb7331> can someone show me how to use synaptic package manager and the like through shell so i can install my nvidia driver?
[09:43] <malikeye> be careful in there though
[09:43] <alper> thanks
[09:43] <alper> i know the xorg.conf file
[09:43] <malikeye> k
[09:43] <ryanakca> any python geniuses around? I have a question, and nobody in #python seems to know the answer...
[09:43] <un_operateur> LinuxNewb7331, why not just folllow the wiki -- time and effort has already been put into it

[09:44] <un_operateur> ryanakca, does it involve python programming or something general about python?
[09:44] <alper> i want it to open in the text editor

[09:50] <Alakazamz0r> forevertheuni, what kinda video card do you have on it?
[09:50] <diskus> forevertheuni: #ubuntu-xgl
[09:50] <LinuxNewb7331> i'm trying "sudo apt-get nvidia-glx" but it is telling me "Invalid Operation", plus the HowTo tlaks about linux-restricted-modules
[09:50] <LinuxNewb7331> I need to unlock first
[09:50] <Alakazamz0r> LinuxNewb7331, try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[09:50] <un_operateur> ryanakca, that "peculiarity" has to do with how floating point numbers are represented on your CPU -- it's a problem almost all programming languages face
[09:51] <Waldmeista> Alakazamz0r, ok that gives me all the partitions showing me that /dev/sda3 is the linux partition
[09:51] <malikeye> LinuxNewb7331: di you have multiverse and universe setup ?
[09:51] <forevertheuni> Alakazamz0r: radeon9000

[09:51] <ryanakca> un_operateur: ok, and how would I fix it? (I don't?)
[09:52] <ifwr> why does abcde say "config file "h" cannot be found" ?
[09:52] <un_operateur> Skyrail, thats great -- keep at it :)
[09:52] <malikeye> they are repositories that you need to enable
[09:52] <malikeye> fro nvidia binary drivers

[09:52] <Alakazamz0r> Waldmeista, /dev/sda3 is your ROOT partition?
[09:52] <LinuxNewb7331> thank  you Alakazamz0r for the install command, its actually doing something now
[09:52] <malikeye> ifwr: is there a /etc/abcde.conf ?
[09:52] <diskus> forevertheuni: or actualy I'm waiting already, I have xpress 200M on laptop :P
[09:52] <_3lj> what should startx show when i dont have any window manager installed? should it just be a crissy cross screen with an xterm up?
[09:53] <Alakazamz0r> good LinuxNewb7331
[09:53] <Waldmeista> Alakazamz0r what does root partition mean? it's the partition i installed my linux into
[09:53] <diskus> _3lj: yes
[09:53] <un_operateur> ryanakca, I'm not sure how python does it -- some method in the math library maybe -- floor/round.. something like that ..
[09:53] <tiede> hmmm, well, it still did not work until I did as you said... the output is lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-12-23 15:42 /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm -> /etc/init.d/gdm     I don't know, as long as it is working now... It's still odd that installing ubuntu-desktop, reconfuguring everything with dpkg-reconfigure -a (since reconfiguring gdm alone at first did not work), uninstalling and reinstalling gdm did not make it work.... It works now, right. So there's
[09:53] <tiede> nothing to complain about... Thanks again un_operateur

[09:58] <canardo> thanks un_operateur :)
[09:58] <raxip> unsure
[09:58] <canardo> i have been doing ctrl alt esc :)
[09:58] <Shocka311> rpereira: thats where it is showing up
[09:58] <Waldmeista> when selecting the ubuntu... entry on the grub menu while booting it shows "error <i dunno the number>: partition not found"
[09:58] <dead1ock> that's a secret
[09:58] <canardo> be back shortly can hopefully help someone else out :)
[09:58] <un_operateur> canardo, CTRL+AKT+F7 to get back
[09:58] <canardo> thanks
[09:59] <un_operateur> ALT*
[09:59] <rpereira> Shocka311: Now paste the result of this command: sudo ls -la /home/user/Hdslave
[09:59] <timtrimble> whaaaaaaaaaaat is going on
[09:59] <un_operateur> sudo ls ?
[10:00] <Alakazamz0r> Waldmeista, do you have root            (hd0,0)
[10:00] <rpereira> un_operateur: I don't know if his directory is readeble by the user "user".
[10:00] <Alakazamz0r> brb
[10:00] <Waldmeista> no, because as I said before i did a root(hd1,2) on the grub commandline because my linux partition is on /dev/sda3
[10:01] <Shocka311> rpereira: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38560/
[10:01] <DarthLappy> Waldmeista, ...Shouldn't that be root(hd0,2) then?
[10:01] <malikeye> Waldmeista: shouldn't that be (hd0,2) ?
[10:01] <malikeye> haha
[10:02] <malikeye> Waldmeista: what you have there is /dev/sdb3
[10:02] <un_operateur> rpereira, if that mount point was mounted via pmount he should be able to read from it without the need to sudo
[10:02] <Waldmeista> actually it should, because the disk is my primary master, but that didn't work hd0 seems to be my primary slave (ide disk)
[10:02] <Shocka311> rpereira: engagement pics is the file I used to test it.
[10:02] <malikeye> Waldmeista: thats impossible
[10:03] <malikeye> as far as I know
[10:03] <Waldmeista> when I do root(hd0,2) i get a "error 22: no such partition" on grub
[10:03] <malikeye> does it exist ?
[10:03] <malikeye> is it mounted ?
[10:03] <KeenEars> why all apps that i`m intalling don`t go to programs menu ? is it intended ? or i missing smth? (using apt-get and synaptic)
[10:03] <LinuxNewb7331> I got the video card up!  Thanks Alakazamz0, uboto, and un_operateur for all y'alls help
[10:03] <KeenEars> almost all
[10:04] <rpereira> un_operateur: But it is mounted with "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
[10:04] <KeenEars> using dapper
[10:04] <Waldmeista> malikeye i mounted /dev/sda3 as /mnt
[10:04] <polemarchus> does anyone else here use irssi?
[10:04] <malikeye> it needs to be mounted as /boot
[10:04] <KeenEars> not that it`s very hard but very annoying
[10:04] <un_operateur> KeenEars, maybe you need to enable some of those apps in the menu -- at a terminal -- gmenu-simple-editor
[10:04] <malikeye> hold up
[10:04] <confuciusMD> .
[10:04] <KeenEars> ah i`ll try
[10:05] <malikeye> you need a boot partition, one does not exist
[10:05] <SurfnKid> how can i reset the audio device
[10:05] <rpereira> Shocka311: Just to not forget, let's change the file /etc/fstab, because yout directory hdslave is Hdslave (case sensitive).
[10:05] <un_operateur> LinuxNewb7331, yw
[10:05] <SurfnKid> when it says its used by another program
[10:05] <SurfnKid> when its not
[10:05] <rpereira> Shocka311: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[10:05] <Yawner> Anyone know where program preferences are stored? Basically I set gedit I believe to be visable on all desktops, but now everytime I right-click on it on the App-Bar it produces a crash file.. I basically want to manually set the gnome preferences for gedit to not be always visable, (It continues through restarts)
[10:05] <Waldmeista> malikeye: to get that right: i'm now working on the live cd
[10:05] <Nevermore-Lap> hi everyone
[10:05] <Waldmeista> and the /boot dir exists
[10:05] <SurfnKid> !helper
[10:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about helper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:05] <rpereira> Shocka311: Change "hdslave" to "Hdslave" ...
[10:05] <Nevermore-Lap> what firewall should i install
[10:05] <KeenEars> i need to restart my session ?
[10:05] <SurfnKid> `help
[10:06] <KeenEars> it`s all checked there
[10:06] <Shocka311> Rpereira:
[10:06] <malikeye> Waldmeista: well, you dont NEED a boot, but is the best method... you need to mount /dev/sda3 as / in order for it to create the proper files in /boot
[10:06] <un_operateur> Nevermore-Lap, iptables and firestarter
[10:06] <Shocka311> rpereira: k
[10:06] <Alakazamz0r> ok
[10:06] <Waldmeista> malikeye: how do I do that since I already have a / from the live cd now?
[10:06] <Nevermore-Lap> un_operateur, so i install firestarter, iptables is included right?
