[08:07] <surekha> I get the following error....  update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/javac'
[08:07] <pmcnabb> ootput, try /var/log/kern.log
[08:07] <pmcnabb> (or kern.log.0)
[08:08] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: its /dev/ttyS5 if that's what you are asking for. the actual serial cable goes to a custom built device
[08:08] <jl> hjhjh
[08:08] <surekha> and the error list continues for javadoc, javah, javap, etc
[08:08] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35, have you used it successfully before (that device)
[08:08] <ootput> pmcnabb: cheers mate. I'd just like to monitor the system when attaching a usb storage device to it
[08:09] <ootput> pmcnabb: appears to have worked. thanks!
[08:09] <pmcnabb> ootput, np
[08:09] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: yes
[08:09] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: the device has been used over windows, and I looked at a utility that tells me what bytes to send over. A simple reset request should work, neverthless...
[08:10] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35, on the several machines i've tried, it was always /dev/ttyS0
[08:10] <cr4ftyb0n35> Damn I wan tto send binary, but stupid minicom only has ASCII
[08:10] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: you mean kermit right?
[08:10] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: I think there's a way to chain gkermit to minicom
[08:10] <surekha> I installed sun java =>   sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin
[08:10] <surekha> when i run   sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun to set the default java version
[08:10] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35: either way, it's the device that matters most
[08:11] <surekha> I get the following error....  update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/javac'
[08:11] <ubox> klingOn: hey i guess smtp.gmail.com is not the coreect on
[08:11] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35, also, to send binary, use the xmodem option
[08:11] <surekha> can someone please help me with this?
[08:11] <ubox> klingOn:gmail-smtp.l.google.com works fine
[08:13] <pmcnabb> surekha, what does 'update-java-alternatives -l' return?
[08:14] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: alright
[08:14] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35, you may have to use zmodem or ymodem, but try x- first
[08:17] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: I get a failure executing protocol
[08:17] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: that was using xmodem
[08:17] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: ditto for all the others
[08:18] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: for kermit, I get this strange thing where it says sending file, dumps the contents of something(possibly the file) onto the screen and just sits there hung
[08:18] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35, can you send hangup to the device and try again?
[08:18] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: yeah same result
[08:19] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35: i was just doing it on cisco switches the other day and it ran pretty smoothly (albeit quite slow) :)
[08:19] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35: what type of device is it?
[08:24] <PORDO> ever since upgrading to edgy this week, i can't use hibernate, and I see the word "fail" after "hardware" when i'm booting.
[08:27] <Red-Sox[away] > Hi, how does one extract 896 .zip files at once?
[08:27] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: it is a custom device that controls doors on this cabinet
[08:27] <ootput> how exactly do i make use of irchelper? :D
[08:28] <pmcnabb> Red-Sox: possibly 'unzip *.zip' depending on where they are...
[08:28] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: it isn't working...annoying....
[08:28] <ootput> i can't seem to configure it via the plugins window
[08:28] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: what bothers me is that kermit seems to be sending something. I just wish there were a way for me to see what is going INTO /dev/ttyS5
[08:29] <x-r00t-x> hi i got problem with apache web server.
[08:29] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35: yes, i understand. those things have to be _just right_
[08:30] <SamJames12> Red-Sox: have you tried unzip *.zip ?
[08:30] <SamJames12> you will need to install zip first
[08:30] <SamJames12> sudo apt-get install zip
[08:31] <SamJames12> will do the trick.
[08:31] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: do I have to set baud rate et al with kermit?
[08:31] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: or do I happily assume that minicom's settings will flow over?
[08:31] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35, when you run kermit from inside minicom?
[08:32] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: yeah
[08:32] <pmcnabb> it keeps minicom's settings
[08:32] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: hmm, baud rate == packet length?
[08:32] <pmcnabb> cr4ftyb0n35, don't know
[08:33] <cr4ftyb0n35> pmcnabb: there's something called an EXTERNAL protocol. Need to hit the man page. brb
[08:35] <ANTDx1> Could I get some help from someone?  After a lot of work, I got Beryl to install and almost work, but when I run it, it first removes all the widowing from my programs, then it displays a Beryl splash screen, then it restarts x without beryl and I have to login again, without any sort of gain
[08:36] <Paavo> Red-Sox[away] : for f in *.zip; do unzip $f; done
[08:37] <pmcnabb> ANTDx1: beryl is sweet
[08:37] <ANTDx1> I agree, it is.  Do you have any idea how to fix my problem?  It's not so sweet if it simply displays a Beryl splash screen, then restarts x
[08:38] <RichEd> Hi guys ... I have a search domain that keeps inserting itself into my network settings after I remove it. Any idea why or how I can get it to go away ?
[08:38] <Red-Sox[away] > Paavo: so f = path?
[08:39] <Myria> my friend figured out the NFS RPC problem...  when netbooting, he says you have to disable DHCP in the OS
[08:39] <Myria> i guess that makes sense, because netbooting has DHCP done already by the BIOS
[08:39] <jamesstansell> RichEd: maybe picking it up from a DHCP server?
[08:39] <Myria> ...
[08:40] <Myria> sorry i didn't mean to say something unrelated about DHCP that might confuse people talking about something else.
[08:40] <RichEd> jamesstansell: ah ... perhaps it may be my wireless network device ?
[08:41] <RichEd> jamesstansell: what exactly is that setting used for "search domains"
[08:45] <Paavo> Red-Sox[away] : no, f is the loop variable
[08:45] <jamesstansell> RichEd: it's for DNS lookups, to specify more than one domain to try.
[08:45] <Paavo> Red-Sox[away] : if you want to unzip files somewhere else than the current directory, use: for f in director_somewhere/else/*.zip; do unzip $f; done
[08:45] <Red-Sox[away] > Paavo: So how does it know what to unzip?
[08:45] <Red-Sox[away] > oh
[08:45] <Red-Sox[away] > so I need to cd to that directory first
[08:46] <Paavo> darn typos - for f in directory_somewhere/else/*.zip; do unzip $f; done
[08:46] <Red-Sox[away] > So that'd be
[08:46] <spacepod> hello all
[08:46] <spacepod> anyone here know a bit about GSAMBAD?
[08:46] <Paavo> Red-Sox[away] : the first version unzips all .zip files in the current directory, the latter in some subdirectory
[08:46] <irawan> join #gnucash
[08:46] <Red-Sox[away] > for f in directory_/home/jonny/docs/*.zip; do unzip $f; done
[08:47] <irawan> #
[08:47] <Paavo> nonononono. the "directory_" part is semantically insignificant. it's just a path
[08:47] <Red-Sox[away] > Here, Paavo, I wanna unzip everything in /home/jonny/zipped_docs/
[08:47] <Red-Sox[away] > So
[08:47] <Paavo> for f in /home/jonnyt/docs/*.zip; do unzip $f; done
[08:47] <Red-Sox[away] > thanks
[08:47] <Red-Sox[away] > but
[08:47] <Paavo> darn typos again. well, you get the point
[08:48] <Red-Sox[away] > I want them to end up in /home/jonny/docs
[08:48] <Red-Sox[away] > Paavo: ^
[08:48] <Paavo> Red-Sox[away] : well then it's easiest to cd there
[08:48] <M3L7down> HI adaptr!
[08:48] <Jordan_U_> sound doesn't work when I run applications as another user.
[08:48] <Red-Sox[away] > aight got it
[08:48] <M3L7down> do you remember me?
[08:48] <Red-Sox[away] > thanks
[08:48] <jamesstansell> Red-Sox[away] : you can also use the -d option to unzip to tell it which directory to target
[08:48] <ootput> hi guys, any of you using gaim-irchelper, and have time to address a couple of my questions? :)
[08:48] <Paavo> if you want the current directory to remain the same after that, you can use a subshell:
[08:49] <spacepod> i'm having a problem with gsambad everytime i attempt to restart it or stop it i get an error dialog saying "winbind failed" any help would be great
[08:49] <Paavo> (cd /home/jonny/docs; for f in *.zip; do unzip $f; done)
[08:49] <M3L7down> ootput: I might be able to, whats your problem?
[08:49] <Paavo> Red-Sox[away] : if you put a command in parenthesis, it's run in a subshell, and its variable assignments and current directory changes don't propagate to the parent shell
[08:50] <ootput> M3L7down: thanks mate. My first question is: how on earth do i use it? I've installed it through synaptic, but I can't see any way to configure it (i.e, I can't find the support docs offline or online.) Also, there isn't any configure screen in gaim's plugins window
[08:51] <ootput> M3L7down: and I suppose my other question(s) would be a repeat of my first :D
[08:51] <irawan> is there any good easy tutorial for gnucash?
[08:51] <ootput> M3L7down: an unrelated question: is there a history-scroll-back feature in irc chat windows?
[08:52] <ootput> M3L7down: I'd like to be able to hit up, and get a listing of all messages that I previously sent
[08:53] <M3L7down> ootput: about the message history
[08:53] <ootput> i think i blew his mind :D
[08:53] <M3L7down> I have never seen it
 I'm using xchat
[08:54] <irawan> you can log the conversation
[08:54] <irawan> see preferences
[08:54] <M3L7down> ootput: if we are talking strictly gaim I mean, I have never seen it
[08:54] <M3L7down> ootput: however
[08:54] <M3L7down> ootput: I will double check, because there is one in Gaim IRC
[08:54] <ootput> M3L7down: yeah, strictly gaim. I used to be an avid user of irssi, until I figured out that I liked the new gaim better, and it did what I needed it to do well (well mostly, besides this nag of mine)
[08:55] <ootput> M3L7down: yeah, gaim irc is what I'm after
[08:55] <M3L7down> ootput: in IRC look up to options, and hit enable logging
[08:55] <M3L7down> ootput: then, go to conversation, and hit view log
[08:55] <M3L7down> ootput: is that what you are looking for?
[08:55] <M3L7down> because I am tryin git now
[08:55] <M3L7down> and it works just fine
[08:57] <ootput> hehe, not quite. Essentially, I'd like to be able to cross-post (do a little forum->irc translation there,) b/w channel windows, and avoid having to resort to copy-paste
[08:58] <M3L7down> ootput: I will check that out
[08:58] <ootput> Catfish_man and Kingant appear to be quite engrossed in their conversation in #gaim, so I thought it'd be fun to expose my problems (in Gaim) to the kind-hearted folk at #ubuntu
[08:59] <ootput> M3L7down: thanks mate, much appreciated
[08:59] <M3L7down> ootput: if only you knew how noobish I really am
[08:59] <Ash-Fox> What package is dh_make stored in?
[08:59] <ootput> M3L7down: surely (hopefully) not?
[08:59] <M3L7down> ootput: lol <-- yes I said it
[08:59] <Ash-Fox> !dh_make
[08:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dh_make - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:00] <M3L7down> ootput: I believe that copy paste is your option, unless
[09:00] <manmadha> Is there any flash tool to do flash programs?
[09:00] <manmadha> in linux?
[09:00] <M3L7down> ootput: you save your convo here, then open the log somewhere else
[09:00] <ootput> M3L7down: i was hoping that irchelper would help, but it didn't help. help me!
[09:00] <ootput> ;)
[09:01] <M3L7down> ootput: in summary
[09:01] <M3L7down> ooput: you, are, boned

[09:01] <douglett> wowzers
[09:01] <ootput> you're an aussie?

[09:01] <pilgrim> I installed sun-java5-jdk using apt-get but don't know what directory was used for that installation. How do I find this out?
[09:01] <ootput> yah
[09:02] <douglett> is this also a support channel?
[09:02] <M3L7down> pilgrim: I can help you dude
[09:02] <M3L7down> I wrote some documentation on this not a day ago
[09:02] <ootput> douglett: you're after #underwear
[09:02] <pilgrim> M3L7down, listening...
[09:02] <douglett> haha
[09:02] <M3L7down> I gotta upload my document

[09:04] <eLfReaKz> i have ubuntu edgy, how to connect my nokia n70 (usb cable) to use the internet?
[09:04] <pilgrim> M3L7down, that's fine.
[09:04] <ootput> malt: if putty has it bound to something else, remove that bind
[09:05] <malt> it just writes the text ^O in it, is it suppose to do that ootput?
[09:05] <ootput> malt: ^O appears in nano (under the cursor) ?
[09:05] <ootput> malt: lower-case o, btw
[09:06] <pilgrim> M3L7down, I think it'd been faster if you just told me in a sentence or so.
[09:06] <malt> ootput: yeah it just writes the text ^o in it, is it suppose to do that ootput?
[09:07] <ootput> malt: it shouldn't mate. I think putty controls were designed to be as unobstrusive as possible
[09:07] <M3L7down> pilgrim: no, I just am having a hard time with the site
[09:07] <Jordan_U_> sound doesn't work when I run applications as another user.
[09:07] <ootput> malt: nice desktop, btw. very clean
[09:07] <ootput> ootput: my windows box looks quite similar
[09:07] <malt> :D
[09:08] <malt> Yeah i like it plain and organized
[09:08] <ootput> why do you have two mirc instances running?
[09:08] <malt> its 2 icons
[09:08] <malt> when i used system tray
[09:08] <ootput> oh, i thought noname script only had one icon in the system tray
[09:08] <malt> and might be part of noname script
[09:09] <ootput> Jordan_U_: ensure that the user is in the audio group
[09:11] <M3L7dow1> pilgrin: very sorry, my power just shut off for a sec
[09:11] <ootput> heh
[09:11] <M3L7dow1> pilgrim: here is the link, http://www.freewebs.com/m3l7down/Documentation for Ubuntu.odt
[09:11] <M3L7dow1> crap
[09:11] <M3L7dow1> the entire thing is it
[09:11] <wrx> hi my pc started giving CRC errors on the hard drive so i shut it down and opened it and realised the hdd is scortching hot.. prolly 80deg C  ... will i have lost data from it? :(
[09:11] <M3L7dow1> not just the first part
[09:12] <malt> ootput: is there anyway to send commands to puty?
[09:12] <malt> to save that doc?
[09:12] <ootput> wrx: yeah, usually crc errors
[09:12] <M3L7dow1> I am off
[09:12] <M3L7dow1> to much risk of power failure
[09:12] <M3L7dow1> see you
[09:12] <M3L7dow1> and pilgrim
[09:12] <M3L7dow1> its my entire thing even after the documentation part
[09:13] <M3L7dow1> see you
[09:13] <ootput> M3L7dow1: cya mate
[09:13] <M3L7dow1> cya ootput
[09:13] <ootput> malt: open up another putty connection
[09:13] <ootput> malt: and 'cat /tmp/crontab.JTKgRf/crontab'
[09:13] <ootput> malt: leave the existing putty connection intact
[09:13] <ootput> (i.e, don't close it)
[09:13] <wrx> ootput, so i expect the drive to be non readable now?
[09:13] <pilgrim> M3L7down, thanks
[09:14] <ootput> wrx: you might be able to save parts of it, depending on how many crc errors there are
[09:14] <ootput> wrx: i'd copy the data over to another medium soon, though
[09:14] <malt> ootput: only problem is the crontab keeps giving its self random names after the .
[09:14] <ootput> malt: the tmp file should still be there
[09:15] <ootput> malt: until you close the nano window, at least
[09:16] <ootput> malt: also, you can try ^X (as a last resort, besides copy-paste, as nano be uncooperative and dismiss it as an unwanted session) and specify that the file be saved

[09:32] <defrysk> !beryl | shiner421
[09:32] <ubotu> shiner421: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[09:32] <shiner421> beryl will NOT run on my system
[09:32] <Wiseguy> frogzoo, i have that same problem :S nothings broken
[09:32] <frogzoo> shiner421: that's a beryl problem, not edgy

[09:32] <shiner421> thats why I asked where to go, thanks :)

[09:33] <flasher222> if you're a gmail user, i would like to ask you do something.

[09:37] <shiner421> how do I find out if I am using the latest nvidia drivers?
[09:38] <shiner421> I cant use the ones from nvidia.com cause I cant figure out how to shut down the xserver
[09:38] <shiner421> hmm unless I boot in recovery mode and run the instaler from there . . .
[09:38] <frogzoo> shiner421: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:40] <shiner421> ok now what is the difference between using the generic kernel and the 386 or 686 kernels?
[09:40] <noiesmo> !envy shiner421
[09:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy shiner421 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:40] <shiner421> I was told to use the generic, but I want to use the 686
[09:40] <noiesmo> !envy | shiner421
[09:40] <Tomcat_> shiner421: They are optimized for certain CPUs.
[09:40] <ubotu> shiner421: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy
[09:40] <shiner421> !envy? Lol I am very new to linux
[09:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy? Lol I am very new to linux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:40] <shiner421> ahh ok
[09:41] <noiesmo> shiner421, read this downlaod and it do it all for nvidia http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[09:41] <Tomcat_> shiner421: But for me, they didn't make any difference... 386/generic is alright. :o
[09:41] <ootput> shiner421: likewise, never found 686 to be better than generic for my athlonxp
[09:42] <shiner421> hmm I got the envy download, but the !envy command keeps saying command not found
[09:42] <ootput> you don't need the apostrophe
[09:42] <ootput> er, exclamation mark
[09:42] <shiner421> tried that and it crashed my terminal
[09:42] <shiner421> aha
[09:42] <shiner421> got it
[09:42] <noiesmo> shiner421, it drops you back
[09:43] <shiner421> woot looks like its working
[09:43] <noiesmo> shiner421, cool
[09:43] <shiner421> ill try beryl again after this
[09:43] <shiner421> maybe I had old drivers
[09:43] <ootput> just follow the nvidia+beryl guide on the forums
[09:43] <ootput> or wiki, i forget which
[09:43] <ootput> i believe you end up with a beta (but apparently stable) nvidia driver

[09:46] <Kleggas> Hi. I have an Acer 5100 with a realtek 7.1 capable sound card that just do not work. I had it fully working after installing edgy, then I installed ati drivers and the sound crapped out, only standard 2.0 sound without mic. today I noticed the new kernel and hoped for this to fix my problem so I made an dist-upgrade and now I have no sound at all. How can I get rid of the sound drivers in fglrx in ubuntu repositories so it can use alsa to
[09:46] <Kleggas> give me both audio and video working. OR, if thats not possible, how can I fix ANY sound at ALL? or which distro does support alc880 sound together with fglrx?
[09:47] <shiner421> I keep getting the warning the following packages cannot be authenticated, is that bad?
[09:47] <defrysk> shiner421, not bad just a pain
[09:48] <shiner421> k
[09:48] <Tomcat_> shiner421: It doesn't guarantee that the package comes from the correct person, but it's usually alright.
[09:48] <ootput> shiner421: depending on the package, you should be able to get it authenticated
[09:48] <defrysk> you need to dset up the gpg key
[09:49] <cge> I want to push a sine wave of around 440Hz out of my sound card. Is there a simple way to do so?
[09:49] <Tomcat_> cge: Audacity should do that... no idea if there's an easier way.
[09:49] <cge> Tomcat_: Ah, I didn't think of audacity. Thanks
[09:50] <ootput> cge: sox -w -s -t .nul /dev/zero 440.wav synth 300 sine create 440
[09:50] <ootput> cge: that's a five minute clip

[10:12] <mixa> Ok Well. My question is: How I get good media player
[10:12] <DigitalNinja> I'll do some googling

[10:13] <_0mk4r_> is there any good ebook reader?
[10:13] <n0yd> Does Ubuntu's sudo pkg not use /etc/sudoers by default?  There isn't a section to enable sudo for my user (Although sudo obviously works), and generally sudo uses /etc/sudoers to grant sudo access to users like "user ALL=(ALL) ALL)
[10:13] <kyawzin> can anyon help me setting up DNS?

[10:15] <ehab> i just upgraded the kernel to 2-6-18 how can i use iptables its not here
[10:15] <ehab> i just upgraded the kernel to 2-6-18 how can i use iptables its not here
[10:15] <KenSentMe> mixa: it's a guide for newbie ubuntu users
[10:15] <noiesmo> !iptables |ehab
[10:15] <ubotu> ehab: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:15] <wickedly_cool> does everyone like 6.10 better than 6.06?
[10:16] <KenSentMe> wickedly_cool: for my desktop i do, but for my server i like dapper better
[10:16] <ehab> ubotu: it gives me upgrade iptables or kernel why
[10:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about it gives me upgrade iptables or kernel why - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:16] <n0yd> No one can tell me where ubuntu's sudo pkg gets its config by default?
[10:16] <KenSentMe> ehab: ubotu is a bot
[10:17] <Jordan_U_> n0yd: I am not sure I understand your question, could you rephrase it?
[10:17] <wickedly_cool> yeah i am thinking about going to 6.10 cause 6.06 is a little buggy not bad though just a little
[10:17] <n0yd> Jordan_U_: Does Ubuntu's sudo pkg not use /etc/sudoers by default?  There isn't a section to enable sudo for my user (Although sudo obviously works), and  generally sudo uses /etc/sudoers to grant sudo access to users like "user ALL=(ALL) ALL)
 Sorry, I don't know anything about it gives me upgrade iptables or ... lol..  ubotu is a genius
[10:18] <ehab> kenserrtme: what ????
[10:18] <umar> hi all
[10:19] <cyphase> are there any plans to have out-of-the-box avahi enabled file-sharing in feisty?
[10:19] <ootput> wickedly_cool: if anything, it'd be the other way round :D
[10:19] <umar> how can we suppress root password in general user.....as ubuntu live cd does
[10:19] <ootput> but i still prefer 6.10
[10:19] <n0yd> Jordan_U_: Apparently it's pulling a config from somewhere else in Ubuntu, unlike the daefult sudo installation from a src tarball for example
[10:19] <cyphase> via gnome-user-share or something
[10:19] <ehab> noiesmd: i can run the problem when i upgraded the kernel i use sarge i upgraded the kernel to 2.6.18 the fire wall gives me ere when i type $iptables -L
[10:19] <KenSentMe> ehab: ubotu is a bot, it not a real person. It can give standard answers
[10:19] <KenSentMe> !bot | ehab

[10:20] <ehab> kensentme : atoumatic
[10:20] <KenSentMe> ehab: yes
[10:20] <wickedly_cool> yeah i was thinking since 6.10 is so new it is bound to have a lot of bugs... but doesnt every OS?
[10:20] <ehab> dam no thats new
[10:20] <ehab> cool script
[10:20] <ehab> kensentme :thanks
[10:20] <ootput> wickedly_cool: openbsd doesn't ;)
[10:20] <n0yd> Jordan_U_: No idea?
[10:20] <ehab> i like it here
[10:21] <ehab> debian rooks
[10:21] <Jordan_U_> n0yd: Ubuntu uses sudoers AFIK, I have no idea why it wouldn't work
[10:21] <ehab> the shell gives me errot upgrade fire wall or kernel
[10:21] <ehab> i did both
[10:21] <ehab> now what
[10:21] <niru> how to suppress root password in a general user
[10:22] <n0yd> Jordan_U_: Look at yours, it doesn't specify acces for users in /etc/sudoers, and it's kind of annoying, because I want to enable a passwordless sudo access for a certain user
[10:22] <niru> any help
[10:22] <niru> n0yd:any help
[10:22] <niru> how to suppress root password in a general user
[10:22] <n0yd> niru: suppress? Can you rephrase that
[10:22] <SilverTab> anyone got ndiswrapper to work in edgy?? it was working well in dapper but no luck in edgy so far...
[10:23] <niru> I dont want to  type root password when I am a general user
[10:23] <cmt^^> Is there any good DC++-client for ubuntu edgy? linuxdcpp is buggy as hell
[10:23] <SilverTab> I tried with both my WUSB54GC and my DWL-G132...and it just wont work
[10:23] <n0yd> niru: You mean for sudo? You want a passwordless sudo?
[10:23] <niru> n0yd:yes
[10:23] <ehab> all: i need help
[10:23] <niru> is it possible
[10:23] <niru> yes n0yd
[10:23] <Jordan_U_> niru: Running as root / having a passwordless sudo is not recommended and insecure
[10:24] <n0yd> niru: Heh, yes its possible, unfortunately it appears ubuntu sets up sudo differently than say a default install of sudo, I'm trying to to figure it out myself at the moment
[10:24] <nzhomie> cmt^^ : install a program called automatix it is like synaptic but has comon software that people use it can install a good DC++ program for you
[10:25] <Jordan_U_> !automatix | nzomie
[10:25] <ubotu> nzomie: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:25] <Jordan_U_> cmt^^: Don't use automatix ^^^^^^^
[10:25] <Hawkins> Does anyone knows how to get Voodoo Banshee working on Ubuntu ?
[10:25] <SilverTab> mmm so no luck anyone with ndiswrapper+edgy?? I get a driver present,hardware present...but it just wont scan any networks or anything
[10:25] <umar> n0yd, got it?//???
[10:25] <n0yd> umar: hmm?
[10:26] <ryba> ryba
[10:26] <niru> n0yd:then ubuntus sudo package is different you mean?
[10:26] <umar> n0yd, i think some where we need to tweek password or shadow files
[10:26] <n0yd> niru: Apparently, different from using sudo on my Arch and Gentoo installs
[10:27] <n0yd> umar: Ya, I'm looking into that right now
[10:27] <umar> n0yd, sudo can be used from terminal
[10:27] <n0yd> umar: Of it can
[10:27] <umar> n0yd, but for GUI
[10:27] <umar> n0yd, accessing from menu
[10:27] <umar> n0yd, for example network settings,,,,,,
[10:27] <n0yd> I'm trying to set it up so it's passwordless, but /etc/sudoers isn't used by ubuntu's sudo pkg apparently
[10:28] <n0yd> So I can have my bash alias' working...
[10:28] <niru> umar:then does it mean that ubuntu's sudo pacakge will solve the problem?
[10:28] <umar> niru, no
[10:28] <umar> niru, i think
[10:30] <niru> n0yd:then does it mean that ubuntu's sudo pacakge will solve the problem of suppressing the root password
[10:31] <SilverTab> mmm ok in dmesg I get: wlan0: no IPv6 routers present...this might have something to do with it
[10:33] <dbe> Which package do I need to stream .mpg movies?

[10:42] <nzhomie> howdy
[10:42] <disposable> frogzoo, so the answer is no?
[10:43] <Phelanor> So I finally got around the problem with my video card
[10:43] <Phelanor> and I'm wondering how does ont get to the restricted modules in synaptic?
[10:43] <Phelanor> im looking at the binary driver howto and the instructions dont match up

[10:46] <frogzoo> Phelanor: synaptic -> settings -> repositories -> enable universe/multiverse & click reload
[10:47] <ootput> for those of you using Banshee as your audio player, is it normal, when importing a music dir for the first time, for there to be errors amounting to: "Index is less than 0 or more than or equal to the list count.\n Parameter name: index\n 0" ?

[10:49] <snowblink> Does the latest gdm patch really require rebooting to take effect?
[10:49] <Hawkins> I've got Ubuntu with remote desktop enabled and I'm currently using WinXP with TightVNC, it's working well but can't use AltGr
[10:50] <Steven_> hello?
[10:50] <Hawkins> Hi
[10:50] <vlt> Hawkins: Are you working in a vncserver session or something like krfb?
[10:51] <dogfood2006> i'd like to be abe to surf the web using vi commands
[10:51] <dogfood2006> which browser should I use
[10:51] <Phelanor> Im not sure what he ran it against
[10:51] <Hawkins> vlt, just enabled remote desktop from Ubuntu system menu and connected with TightVNC, didn't set a any specific server
[10:51] <Phelanor> He uses Ubuntu for ease of deployment
[10:51] <frogzoo> dogfood2006: cli browsers - try links2 or elinks
[10:51] <Phelanor> That was the main reason he chose ubuntu over other distributions
[10:51] <rj45> im new
[10:52] <dogfood2006> i hate having to use the cursor keys to go up and down on a website whe my fingers are already on the qwerty kb
[10:52] <dogfood2006> besides on the thinkpad the cursor keys are totally displaced
[10:53] <dogfood2006> links2 or elinks, which one should i use
[10:53] <JQG> Phelanor>	thanks
[10:58] <dogfood2006> thanks for the suggestion on elinks and links2 but it doesnt look like you can use vi commands to navigate
[10:58] <vlt> Hawkins: I have no experience with gnome's or kde's integrated remote desktop server (I only rememer it beeing a bit too slow for my needs). I succressfully use a separate vncserver running and its own gnome/kde/whatever session.
[10:59] <elfreakz> i upgraded too 6.10, i feel that the bootup is slow.. is that normal?
[10:59] <dogfood2006> basically i'd like to be able to navigate with hjkl
[10:59] <dogfood2006> you can do this in gmail
[11:00] <Hawkins> vlt, using separate vncserver is it possible to have VNC connection in console too, for example when booting X ?
[11:00] <vlt> Hawkins: Install the pkg tightvncserver, run `vncserver :1` as user and define a password. Then connect to it with a vncviewer on Port ::5901 (or just :1), and run .....
[11:00] <vlt> Hawkins: mmh, don#t got your question ...
[11:01] <vlt> How can I set stdin as input file for pbzip2?
[11:01] <vlt> And where is lzma in Dapper?
[11:01] <Hawkins> When I use CRTL+ALT+backspace to reboot X my VNC disconnects, I have to go to Ubuntu PC and log in there, return to my Win PC here and then reconnect VNC
[11:02] <vlt> Hawkins: With separate vncserver you don't need to run an ordinary X server at all on the ubuntu machine.
[11:03] <Hawkins> Ah, I'll try to set up vncserver now :)
[11:03] <karthik> i have installed windows in hd0,1 and linux in hd0,0 every time i boot linux is booting and its not giving me an option in the boot time could anyone plz help out in this problem
[11:03] <vlt> Hawkins: You start (mayabe several) vnc*server* sessions for maybe different users on different ports ...
[11:04] <aL\away> does ubunto have any firewall
[11:04] <aL\away> if not do i need one
[11:04] <vlt> karthik: using GRUB or LILO as boot loader?
[11:04] <aL\away> and what options do i have
[11:05] <karthik> iam using grub but i dosent work
[11:05] <vlt> aL\away: Ubuntu is based on the linux kernel which has built in firewall "iptables"
[11:05] <nzhomie> ubuntu has a built in firewall you have to get firestarter from aptget or synaptic
[11:05] <elfreakz> is it normal for 6.10 bootup slow?
[11:05] <aL\away> vlt
[11:05] <Hawkins> vlt, I only need one, and I do need Xserver too, because that Ubuntu machine is going to be a normal operating PC with graphical interface. Currently I've got some network problems with that machine so I can't normally use it
[11:05] <vlt> aL\away: By default no rules are defined
[11:05] <karthik> title windowsxp(loader)
[11:05] <aL\away> how can i view configuration
[11:06] <vlt> aL\away: By default no rules are defined
[11:06] <aL\away> how can i define rules
[11:06] <nzhomie> download firestarter it is a nice gui that can help you make rules
[11:06] <vlt> aL\away: You can create rules with the `iptables` command
[11:06] <Hawkins> Is vncserver and vnc4server the same software ?
[11:07] <nzhomie> firestarter if you prefer gui
[11:07] <vlt> Hawkins: vncserver is a virtual pkg I think. But I reccommend using tightvncserver for there are some font problems with vnc4server on ubuntu (dapper at least)
[11:07] <karthik> dudes i entered the following commands in the grub-----> title windowsxp(loader) root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader+1 <------its giving me an option but oc selecting it its giving me an error and asking me to restart
[11:07] <DocTomoe> Are there any known (even inofficial) OOo2.1 repositories for Edgy?
[11:08] <vlt> aL\away: There are several gui tools for creating rules as nzhomie said before.
[11:08] <Hawkins> vlt, thank you, downloading and installing now :)
[11:08] <vlt> How can I set stdin as input file for pbzip2?
[11:08] <vlt> And where is lzma in Dapper?
[11:09] <karthik> dudes i entered the following commands in the grub-----> title windowsxp(loader) root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader+1 <------its giving me an option but oc selecting it its giving me an error and asking me to restart
[11:09] <aL\away> ok
[11:09] <aL\away> thanks
[11:09] <nzhomie> no problem
[11:10] <Quinn_Storm> anyone know how to change which volume channel the shortcut keys control? on my card the first listed channel is the headphone-only channel, and I need them to control the speaker channe;l
[11:10] <Starcraftmazter> whats X11
[11:10] <Tomcat_> vlt: I don't know pbzip2, but if it's compatible to bzip2, stdin is default.
[11:10] <karthik> dudes i entered the following commands in the grub-----> title windowsxp(loader) root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader+1 <------its giving me an option but oc selecting it its giving me an error and asking me to restart
[11:11] <Tomcat_> vlt: apt-get install lzma?
[11:11] <Tomcat_> karthik: What error?
[11:11] <nzhomie> x11 is The X Window System (X11) is the basis of Ubuntu's user interface
[11:11] <Starcraftmazter> thanks
[11:12] <nzhomie> no problem
[11:12] <Quinn_Storm> I hate to ask such a basic question, but I have no idea what app even handles the keys
[11:12] <vlt> Tomcat_: `apt-cache search lzma`        -->     p7zip - 7-Zip is a file archiver with high compression ratio
[11:12] <karthik> Invalid Drive specification
[11:13] <Tomcat_> karthik: Do you have WinXP on hd0,1? Check with grub or gparted.
[11:13] <vlt> Tomcat_: Is it the same as "lzma" on Edgy/Debian/...?
[11:13] <_goofy_> i do i install a rpm
[11:13] <Jordan_U_> Quinn_Storm: I don't know why I can't figure it out again, I did it myself a while ago, it's in the menues when you click the volume icon in the gnome-panel
[11:14] <Hawkins> vlt, could you please help me with vncserver, can't connect now ?
[11:14] <Jordan_U_> !RPM | _goofy_
[11:14] <ubotu> _goofy_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[11:14] <Hawkins> In private message perhaps
[11:14] <Tomcat_> vlt: I have no idea. Never used it. :o
[11:14] <Quinn_Storm> Jordan_U_: the menu for the volume control only changes what pops up when you click on it
[11:14] <_goofy_> correction how do i install a .rpm
[11:14] <Quinn_Storm> Jordan_U_: it doesn't change what the hotkeys are connected to
[11:14] <_goofy_> sorry i didnt see the earlyer post
[11:16] <vlt> Hawkins: Did you install "tightvncserver"?
[11:16] <Jordan_U_> Quinn_Storm: I recently set my volume keys to change the PCM channel instead of the "front" channel and I vaugly remember using those preferences but I can't figure it out again
[11:16] <vlt> Hawkins: Are you on Dapper or Edgy?
[11:17] <Hawkins> vlt, I installed it, set vncpasswd and typed vncserver:1 and in system monitor i see it running
[11:17] <Quinn_Storm> heh
[11:17] <Hawkins> vlt Dapper
[11:18] <vlt> Hawkins: `netstat -tulpen | grep vnc`
[11:18] <vlt> Hawkins: Which port is used
[11:18] <vlt> ?
[11:18] <phrizer> how can i remove "open with" menu items in nautilus? I recently removed some software but the open with items for it are persisting.
[11:19] <Jordan_U_> Quinn_Storm: Right click on the volume icon and go to preferences
[11:20] <Quinn_Storm> ok...
[11:20] <Hawkins> vlt, there's 2 rows, ports are 5901 nad 6001
[11:20] <Quinn_Storm> (I've already been here)]
[11:20] <Hawkins> *and
[11:21] <Jordan_U_> Quinn_Storm: Are you trying to make the same keys controll a different channel or are you trying to make a new key mapping?
[11:21] <elfreakz> anybody know how to i do change my desktop look, like dock, calendar, weather, theme?
[11:21] <Quinn_Storm> I need the volume keys (and the little mid-screen meter) to control the speaker channel instead of the headphones one
[11:21] <vlt> Hawkins: Connect from vncviewer to port 5901: `vncviewer host::5901` or `vncviewer host:1`
[11:22] <Hawkins> vlt, I got in, didn't know I have to use ip::port :)
[11:22] <Hawkins> With that integrated thingy it needed only ip
[11:22] <vlt> Hawkins: Now you should see an empty X screen (if not defined any "autostart" command in .vnc/x_somethin.conf)
[11:23] <vlt> Hawkins: [only ip]  That's because the default port is 5900
[11:23] <ravhin> good morning
[11:23] <Hawkins> vlt, yep, empty console type screen
[11:23] <ski-worklap> is it possible to make particular apps (i'm thinking specifically of gaim here) to not start if there is another process already running, a la how windows/mac do it? it's very annoying to accidentally open an extra gaim and not be sure which if any of the programs are still connected... any ideas?
[11:24] <ravhin> does someone in here by chance have a solution handy how to get apache to rotate logs?
[11:24] <georgian2all> any romania users?
[11:24] <ski-worklap> ravhin, how about rotatelogs?
[11:24] <ravhin> ?
[11:24] <ski-worklap> !ro
[11:24] <ubotu> Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro.
[11:25] <ski-worklap> ravhin, rotatelogs is a simpe little log rotater that is bundled with apache (at least in 1.x)
[11:25] <Jordan_U_> Quinn_Storm: That is in the preferences for me when I right click the volume icon in gnome-panel I get this: http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/Screenshot.png
[11:25] <ski-worklap> or you can use syslog.conf or something like that to d oit
[11:25] <ski-worklap> TROGDOR!
[11:25] <ski-worklap> there's only one o in trogdor
[11:25] <ski-worklap> err, there are 2, not 3 o's in trogdor :)
[11:26] <teclo-> Hello. Do you think 512 MB RAM on a iBook would be enough to run Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[11:26] <mumbl> ski-worklap: afaik this is an application' task to check wether it is already running
[11:26] <ravhin> ski-worklap: ahhh thank you. I didn't find that through google
[11:26] <raskar> hi every body
[11:26] <Quinn_Storm> Jordan_U_: I do too but it does NOT change what the hotkeys ontrol
[11:26] <ski-worklap> mumbl, yeah, that's how firefox does it, i wonder why gaim doesn't
[11:26] <ski-worklap> teclo-, definitely
[11:27] <Dandre> hello
[11:27] <mumbl> ski-worklap: i'm a bit upset of this too. to my mind this is a bug in gaim
[11:27] <teclo-> ski-worklap: thank you
[11:27] <MeisterZopf> how do I configure the keyboard layout so I can push the windows button and the Applications menu opens?
[11:27] <elfreakz> my 6.10 start very slow.. is that normal?
[11:27] <cwillu> how can I change the default action when clicking on a mount that pops up on the desktop?
[11:27] <Dandre> I am looking for a graphical frontend to diff for gnome in ubuntu distro Is there such a tool?
[11:27] <teclo-> Now talking about cpu speed. Do you think a G3 running at 600 MHz will be enough ubuntu-powerpc with KDE as a GUI ?
[11:28] <tripppy> is vdr availbe for ubuntu?
[11:28] <anorexicpillow> wow question after question in here
[11:28] <ski-worklap> mumbl, i suppose i could write a shell script as a launcher that says ps auxww | grep -v grep | grep /usr/bin/gaim || /usr/bin/gaim
[11:28] <ski-worklap> but that sucks
[11:28] <ski-worklap> teclo-, yep
[11:28] <cwillu> anorexicpillow: and only you can fix the balence :)
[11:28] <ski-worklap> you can tune how many effects show in kde
[11:28] <anorexicpillow> lol
[11:28] <teclo-> ski-worklap: yeah, I know KDE well :)
[11:28] <ski-worklap> teclo-, then why ask?
[11:28] <mumbl> ski-worklap, i think gnome devs are working on a general solution for this already
[11:28] <ski-worklap> you know you can
[11:29] <mumbl> i'm not sure though
[11:29] <vlt> Hawkins: Now you can start your favorite WM or DE. I'm on kubuntu actually so I ran `startkde` now. Don't know the gnome cmd. Maybe you shoul type "start" and then <TAB> and look what it's offering you ...
[11:29] <teclo-> hmmm wait
[11:29] <teclo-> but 128MB of RAM won't be enough for KDE I guess
[11:29] <ski-worklap> teclo-, you could run xubuntu if you are worried about gui effects slowing your machine down
[11:29] <ski-worklap> teclo-, 128MB is enough but that's cutting it close
[11:30] <ski-worklap> i'd go with xfce in xubuntu in that case
[11:30] <anorexicpillow> okay i have a question:P Why doesny headset mic work? it doesnt work for music or talking :(
[11:30] <elfreakz> teclo-, KDE is for desktop midification?
[11:30] <ski-worklap> anorexicpillow, sudo alsamixer
[11:30] <ski-worklap> see if your headphone is set to volume 0
[11:30] <anorexicpillow> okay ill go do those now :)
[11:30] <vlt> I'm trying to uncompress an lzma compressed stream on dapper. I tried `somedata | 7z e -si -so` but it tells me "Incorrect command line". What's wrong here?
[11:30] <ski-worklap> gnome doesn't autodtect headphones being plugged in and switch fromthe main speakers in my experience
[11:31] <ski-worklap> ok i've answered enough questions. time to masturbate.
[11:31] <teclo-> ski-worklap: well I have boxes with 128MB of RAM here, but I run fluxbox on them because kde would be too slow. But my goal is here to buy a second-hand 12 inches iBook that will be fast enough to run KDE at a decent speed. I'm gonna put 512 MB of RAM in it, but I'm worried about the processor speed. I guess a G4 around 1 GHz shoudl be enough
[11:31] <ski-worklap> teclo-, cpu speed wise you should be fine
[11:32] <Hawkins> vlt, it's startx in gnome, but it says following: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. and if I sudo it says Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0
[11:32] <ski-worklap> esp. if you have accelerated graphics driver
[11:32] <cwillu> teclo-: memory's really the big thing to worry about;  512 should be fine (256 is my limit)
[11:32] <rapid> teclo-, a 1gig with 512 of ram is plenty
[11:32] <ski-worklap> only concern i'd have is memory on those 128M boxes - run xfce on them
[11:32] <anorexicpillow> okay in alsamixer headphones doesnt have a meter its just a little box that says 00
[11:32] <ski-worklap> anorexicpillow, arrow over to it and pres up a few times
[11:33] <eyalw> exit
[11:33] <anorexicpillow> it highlights everything :S
[11:33] <ski-worklap> anorexicpillow, that's weird
[11:33] <vlt> Hawkins: Yes, that's right. startx is not the cmd to run gnome DE, it runs an X server
[11:33] <teclo-> won't a 600 MHz G3 be too slow ?
[11:33] <ski-worklap> maybe alsa doesn't undersatnd the headphone line on your soundcard
[11:34] <ski-worklap> you can get one of those usb headsets
[11:34] <Hawkins> Ah
[11:34] <anorexicpillow> this isnt a usb one its a mic in and headphone jack :S
[11:34] <ski-worklap> teclo-, depends on what effects you have and if you have an accelerated graphics driver
[11:34] <rapid> teclo-, I had a 600 mhz laptop running kde pretty good and playing full screen videos
[11:34] <anorexicpillow> http://img344.imageshack.us/img344/1949/screenshotip8.png
[11:34] <ski-worklap> i feel like i'm repeating myself ....
[11:34] <Hawkins> It's the only thing typing start and pressing tab brings up
[11:34] <vlt> Can anyone tell Hawkins the eqiv command for "startkde" taht runs gnome?
[11:34] <teclo-> rapid: sounds nice
[11:34] <ski-worklap> anorexicpillow, yeah. i had that problem on a laptop once
[11:34] <vlt> s/taht/that/
[11:35] <anorexicpillow> did you ever get it fixed?
[11:35] <ski-worklap> no that comp was a loaner
[11:35] <teclo-> rapid: uhh I mean 600 MHz PowerPC processor. A PowerPC at 600 MHz is faster than a x86 processor at 600 MHz
[11:35] <ski-worklap> anorexicpillow, try master m and master s, alsa might have misidentified which is the headphone ine
[11:35] <ski-worklap> line
[11:35] <anorexicpillow> okay ill try that now
[11:36] <cwillu> how can i rerun the autorun action for a device without ejecting it?
[11:36] <rapid> teclo-: you can always make it faster by removing unneeded stuff etc
[11:36] <anorexicpillow> hmmm nothing seems to be happening
[11:37] <Starcraftmazter> how do I stop firefox from grouping windows, xp style?
[11:37] <McMadd> Does anybody know where the powermanagement settings are stored? I need to prevent my monitor from going blank. (I've got an alternate .xsession running)
[11:37] <cwillu> Starcraftmazter: just open stuff in new windows
[11:37] <Starcraftmazter> thats exactly what I do
[11:37] <slacker> lo
[11:37] <Starcraftmazter> and then once I have heaps, they bunch up
[11:37] <anorexicpillow> oh like Firefox 4
[11:37] <Starcraftmazter> like they do in XP before you disable the grouping option
[11:37] <anorexicpillow> i hate that
[11:37] <Starcraftmazter> where do I diosable it in ubuntu?
[11:38] <slacker> quick question, is there a way to see which updates are available via the command line?
[11:38] <prOMiNd> hi all -_-
[11:38] <anorexicpillow> hello :P
[11:38] <prOMiNd> : >
[11:38] <prOMiNd> DJ Tiesto - Hitmix 2005 .mp3
[11:38] <prOMiNd> oO :)
[11:38] <Starcraftmazter> yo anyone
[11:38] <slacker> Starcraftmazter: using gnome?
[11:38] <Starcraftmazter> yes
[11:38] <anorexicpillow> no idea but great question and i too would like to know how to disable that
[11:38] <cyber_brain_mfkg> hi all!
[11:39] <slacker> right mouse click on the panel
[11:39] <slacker> select preferences
[11:39] <slacker> and there you will find happyness
[11:39] <Starcraftmazter> panel?
[11:39] <slacker> yeah
[11:39] <slacker> the bottom panel
[11:39] <McMadd> Does anybody know where the powermanagement settings are stored? I need to prevent my monitor from going blank. (I've got an alternate .xsession running)
[11:39] <slacker> "the taskbar"
[11:39] <Starcraftmazter> thers no free space on it
[11:39] <Hawkins> vlt, I though I found the right command, gnome-start, but it says 'gnome-session: you're already running a session manager'
[11:40] <cwillu> Starcraftmazter: there should be a little grab bar to the left of the items
[11:40] <slacker> Starcraftmazter: just click between the desktop icon and the other icons
[11:40] <cwillu> ribht click that
[11:40] <Starcraftmazter> aha
[11:40] <Starcraftmazter> woooooo
[11:40] <Starcraftmazter> 8)
[11:41] <slacker> Quick question, is there a way to see which updates are available via the command line?
[11:41] <vlt> Hawkins: Mmh, I never experienced such problems (using kde) ,,,
[11:41] <Rage__> slacker: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
[11:41] <vlt> Hawkins: I'll check it on a Debian/Gnome machine, brb ...
[11:42] <slacker> Rage__: that is doing the update
[11:42] <cyber_brain_mfkg> hello! last night i was removeing some programs and something happends with my gnome!panels are strange(some icons missing),icons in menu are missing,can't open themes,can't open synaptic(it says wrong password)
[11:42] <Starcraftmazter> I somehow got rid of all the progs on the panel??
[11:42] <Rage__> slacker: It shows you first.
[11:42] <slacker> and aptitude update && aptitude upgrade is safer
[11:42] <slacker> when the update fails it will not upgrade
[11:42] <cyber_brain_mfkg> i think i removed something gnome uses but don't know what
[11:42] <slacker> but thats besides the point
[11:42] <Hawkins> vlt, might be that I did something wrong while setting up server, I mean using 'netstat -tulpen | grep vnc' I see two lines even though I ran only 'vncserver :1' once
[11:43] <slacker> ok, an upgrade simulate will do it
[11:43] <slacker> but i'm sure there is another way
[11:44] <vlt> Hawkins: I think on 600x the java server is listening ...
[11:44] <cyber_brain_mfkg> someone has idea what to do?any sugestions are welcome else i will put FedoraCore 6 and i will give up of Ubuntu :(
[11:45] <cyber_brain_mfkg> but everything was working just fine till last night
[11:45] <slacker> what did you remove?
[11:45] <vlt> Hawkins: i just tried on Debian. The command there seems to be `gnome-session`. And I get the same error (don't know, if anyone else on that machine runs gnome right now, so I don't want to try the "--replace" option).
[11:45] <munk3h> Hello, Is there a way to limit the size of the logs in my .beagle folder?
[11:45] <cyber_brain_mfkg> slacker: rhythmbox
[11:45] <slacker> ahh
[11:46] <munk3h> it's currently 3.8Gb in size
[11:46] <cyber_brain_mfkg> slacker: but i thing it removed something gnome uses :(
[11:46] <slacker> cyber_brain_mfkg: install rythmbox again
[11:46] <slacker> it will resolve your dependencies
[11:47] <Starcraftmazter> yo, I have programs open, but they are not in the panel, whats up?
[11:47] <public> this is a simple question but how do I set a simple image as screen saver, in the utility there is no way to choose a fixed image
[11:47] <vlt> Hawkins: Can you run a `ps u` and tell me the name of the first process that looks like your "real" gnome session's start command?
[11:48] <elfreakz> my firefox auto shutdown/close... WHY?
[11:48] <cyber_brain_mfkg> slacker: trying to solve problem i installed gnome-desktop and ubuntu-desktop and now it says that the rhythmbox is installed now :(
[11:48] <slacker> cyber_brain_mfkg: sorry, come again
[11:48] <slacker> cyber_brain_mfkg: dpkg -l | grep rhythmbox
[11:49] <public> does someone know about it ?
[11:49] <slacker> cyber_brain_mfkg: it should list it like this: ii  rhythmbox
[11:49] <finalbeta> elfreakz, probably crashed. Does that allot lately.
[11:50] <munk3h> elfreakz: run firefox from a terminal, then when it automatically quits, post the results along with the page you were on into an ubuntu forum post.
[11:50] <finalbeta> elfreakz, if you start it it will ask to resume the session.
[11:50] <slacker> cyber_brain_mfkg: once you have installed rhytmbox, restart your gnome session
[11:50] <slacker> and you should be up and running again
[11:50] <jhaig> public: Have you tried using the "Picture folder" screensaver?
[11:51] <anorexicpillow> lol one more question about audio... when i start audacity i get an error that reads"Error initializing the audio i/o layer. You will not be able to play or record audio." I checked this in the forums and follwed a guys instructions yet it still doesnt work. any ideas?
[11:51] <jhaig> public: I'm not quite sure how to configure it, though.
[11:52] <Hawkins> vlt, wait a minute, I'm starting up vncserver again with this tuto http://www.debianadmin.com/remotely-manage-machines-using-vnc.html
[11:52] <Hawkins> vlt, does it matter if I use vncserver :1 or :2 ?
[11:52] <vlt> Hawkins: no, only if you have already running one
[11:53] <vlt> Hawkins: the dest port for :2 is ::5902 then
[11:53] <vlt> Hawkins: Or just host:2
[11:53] <Starcraftmazter> yo, programs don't go on panel, anyone?
[11:53] <Hawkins> vlt, roger, I'm using :1 because I'm not inteded to run more than one vnc-client
[11:53] <cyber_brain_mfkg> nothing happends
[11:53] <cyber_brain_mfkg> where's slacker?
[11:54] <a7p> hi everyone, does anyone know if there will be an OpenOffice 2.1 backport for edgy?
[11:56] <munk3h> anorexicpillow: try #linuxactionshow. They like ubuntu and also use audacity to edit their podcast. Ask them how they got it going?

[12:02] <johns^> ArIdA: I do. Sometimes :)
[12:02] <mjr> _goofy_, samba
[12:03] <Hawkins> vlt, these are: bash , Xtightvnc :1 -d , xterm -geometry , -bash and ps u
[12:03] <BlackHawk> hi
[12:03] <mjr> (if you need to share files; if you just need to access windows shares, you can do that with Nautilus's network browsing)
[12:03] <vlt> Hawkins: Is the "real" gnome session still running on ubuntu's tty7?
[12:04] <Hawkins> Yes
[12:06] <jhaig> ArIdA: What is your LaTeX question?
[12:06] <Jako> Hello fokes, i can' t install my graphic card driver...for my Radeon 9800 pro, i've tried a few things and nothing seems to work... when im trying to install the ati driver downloaded from their homepage i'll get this shit http://pastebin.antistof.dk/36 - Please help me!
[12:08] <Hawkins> vlt, should that original gnome session be terminated, I'm really newbie with ubuntu so please forgive me my stupidness :|
[12:08] <Hawkins> and with linux in general
[12:09] <MeisterZopf> how do I configure the keyboard layout so I can push the windows button and the Applications menu opens?

[12:09] <SpiX^> XAMPP for Linux started.
[12:09] <SpiX^> what to do ?
[12:10] <johns^> seems great SpiX^
[12:10] <SpiX^> no i can use the ftp
[12:11] <johns^> so what's the problem?
[12:11] <SpiX^> the ftp isent startig
[12:12] <SpiX^> sorry for my eng
[12:12] <anorexicpillow> heh
[12:12] <johns^> SpiX^: are you sure? I meen, it say's ftpd is running

[12:13] <elfreakz> how to install xmms skin?
[12:14] <johns^> SpiX^: look in /etc/xinetd.d and in /etc/init.d for ftp servers
[12:14] <mats> elfreakz: look up the xmms-site
[12:14] <johns^> or doe a dpkg -l | grep ftp to see what is installed
[12:14] <vlt> Hawkins: You shouldn't have to close a session to open another. That's a multiuser system. maybe there's a gnome setting (if there are any ;_)) that prevents running a second sesion as the same user?
[12:14] <SpiX^> ??
[12:14] <Empiric> hi all
[12:15] <Empiric> my ubunut machine gets off
[12:15] <Empiric> haphazardly
[12:15] <elfreakz> my 6.10 startup very slow.. is that normal?
[12:15] <morgs> Empiric: powers off when it shouldn't, or the other way around?
[12:15] <Empiric> its hibernating
[12:15] <Empiric> i think screen gets blank
[12:15] <johns^> SpiX^: maybe proftpd is allready running so it won't start when it's called by the lampp script
[12:16] <Empiric> no its was running
[12:16] <Empiric> suddenly its blank screen
[12:16] <Empiric> dont know why

[12:16] <Empiric> i need to restart my machine
[12:17] <johns^> SpiX^: stop pasting here ;)
[12:17] <morgs> Empiric: laptop or desktop?
[12:17] <morgs> Empiric: what version of Ubuntu?
[12:18] <Empiric> 6.06
[12:18] <maswan> systemtap is supposed to work in edgy with linux-image-debug installed, right?
[12:19] <Hawkins> vlt, http://www.maccarthy.org/blog/2004/10/07/vnc-gnome-session/ Had to check that
[12:19] <morgs> Empiric: try the memtest option when you boot - could be faulty RAM. A big cause of random crashes is subtle hardware issues
[12:19] <eyalw> hi
[12:19] <elfreakz> how come i do not have permission to move file from desktop to my ubuntu partition?
[12:20] <maswan> I get a "semantic error: cannot find module kernel debuginfo: No DWARF information found" even though I have the debug package installed
[12:20] <eyalw> how do i configure php 5 to use mySQL?
[12:20] <morgs> elfreakz: what do you mean by "ubuntu partition"?
[12:20] <Empiric> well system is live
[12:20] <Empiric> i cant shutdown it now
[12:20] <Empiric> any other way to check
[12:20] <Hawkins> vlt, and voil , it started gnome :P
[12:21] <elfreakz> morgs, i wanted to move xmms skin from desktop to xmms folder
[12:21] <k-man_--> hi, which package has the unistd.h header file in it?
[12:21] <morgs> Empiric: perhaps somebody else has an idea...
[12:21] <elfreakz> morgs, but it say i dont have permission?
[12:21] <morgs> elfreakz: where is the xmms folder?
[12:21] <eyalw> how do i configure php 5 to use mySQL? ??
[12:22] <elfreakz> morgs, usr/share/xmms/skins
[12:22] <morgs> elfreakz: you should keep all your content under your home directory - look for a ".xmms" folder in your home directory or something like that
[12:23] <morgs> elfreakz: ls -al in a terminal, or show hidden files in File Browser to see folders starting with "."
[12:23] <elfreakz> morgs, i try.. wait
[12:23] <_goofy_> how do i mount a usb drive so that is can be accessed by anyone not just the owner
[12:24] <Mando> hey wutsup.. whats the best dreamweaver substitute for linux?
[12:24] <elfreakz> morgs, there's only desktop in HOME
[12:24] <morgs> elfreakz: if you want to put it in /usr/share/xmms/skins you need to be root with sudo... but you shouldn't need to put that type of thing there since most apps have a local (hidden) config folder in your home directory
[12:24] <morgs> elfreakz: press Ctrl+H
[12:25] <elfreakz> morgs, then? after CTRL+H what should i see?
[12:25] <morgs> elfreakz: in the file browser you would then see a bunch of folders starting with "." appearing in your home directory
[12:26] <tonyyarusso> Mando: Nvu's worth a look
[12:26] <morgs> elfreakz: look for one with xmms in the name
[12:26] <elfreakz> morgs, yeah i see the "."
[12:26] <morgs> elfreakz: I don't use xmms so I'm guessing here, but most Ubuntu apps work like this
[12:26] <elfreakz> morgs, but no xmms folder :(
[12:27] <morgs> elfreakz: failing this, the answer to your original question is to open the terminal (in Applications/Accessories) and type "sudo mv ~/Desktop/[your file to move]  /usr/share/xmms/skins/"
[12:27] <cjwatson> Does anyone know of anything available on Ubuntu to import files from Lotus Organizer?
[12:27] <elfreakz> morgs, wait a minute
[12:27] <cjwatson> Evolution doesn't seem to be able to do it
[12:28] <eyalw> can someone help me configure php 5 to use mySQL? ??
[12:28] <khaled> hi there, every time i update my programs using sudo apt0get update, i get the following:
[12:28] <khaled> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists
[12:29] <mats> eyalw: i would recomed #MYSQL og #PHP
[12:29] <khaled> can anyone help plz
[12:29] <eyalw> mats: hmm.. there no such channels i checked
[12:29] <morgs> khaled: "grep universe /etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:30] <morgs> khaled: you should get only one line not starting with #
[12:30] <elfreakz> morgs, thats work :) thank you
[12:30] <morgs> elfreakz: :-)
[12:30] <khaled> morgs, what does this do?
[12:30] <mats> eyalw: what? there is - and i think does guys is better too help you. I dont know - but i would think so.
[12:30] <k-man_--> how do i find out which package contains a particular file?
[12:30] <khaled> morgs, can u explain more plz?
[12:30] <johns^> t
[12:30] <cjwatson> k-man_--: dpkg -S <filename>
[12:30] <morgs> khaled: grep searches for a pattern in a file. grep universe will show lines which have "universe" in them.
[12:31] <k-man_--> cjwatson, i mean for a package that is not installed yet
[12:31] <chable> hello
[12:31] <cjwatson> k-man_--: if you're looking for a file in a package you might not have installed, use http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[12:31] <k-man_--> i need to find the package that has the unistd.h header
[12:31] <eyalw> mats: ok, ill try again php and MYSQL
[12:31] <morgs> khaled: you should only have one line in /etc/apt/sources.list showing universe, unless the others start with # which means they are commented out
[12:31] <cjwatson> k-man_--: (there's also apt-file, but packages.ubuntu.com is probably easier for a one-shot search)
[12:31] <smoenux> !sound
[12:31] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[12:31] <elfreakz> morgs, do you know how to search files in ubuntu?
[12:31] <khaled> morgs, grep... gave me 6 lines
[12:32] <k-man_--> thanks cjwatson
[12:32] <morgs> khaled: yes I see, do any of them start with deb and no #?
[12:32] <stefg> Uh,oh... dapper keeps on destroying the fat on my backup-partition (32 GB fat32)... ugly. Someone with similar problems in here?
[12:32] <khaled> morgs, all of them
[12:32] <khaled> :)
[12:33] <morgs> khaled: did you "enable universe", and if so, how?
[12:34] <khaled> morgs, i was trying to get my nvidia driver to work so i following the instructions in www.ubuntuguide/wiki/... and one of the steps was to modify sources.list
[12:35] <elfreakz> morgs, what player do u use to player audio such as mp3?
[12:35] <mcliber> hi
[12:35] <khaled> morgs, would u line me to copy and paste my source.list
[12:35] <morgs> khaled: go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and paste in the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:35] <mcliber> hi boys
[12:35] <mats> elfreakz: xmms, mpg123 but you need some gstreamer-libs
[12:35] <morgs> khaled: then give the link here
[12:35] <VSpike> !ntfs
[12:35] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse

[12:36] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[12:36] <khaled> morgs, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37157/
[12:36] <elfreakz> i wonder why xmms cant go to my external hdd... my mp3 is in usb hdd... i try to add the directory, but i cant.. i have to open it copy and paste everything to playlist
[12:36] <morgs> elfreakz: I just use rhythmbox
[12:36] <morgs> khaled: checking it...
[12:37] <kraut> moin
[12:37] <VSpike> isn't there an ntfs driver called ntfs3b or something like that?
[12:37] <k-man_--> how does ubuntu decide which run level to start in at boot time?
[12:37] <k-man_--> does it not use inittab?
[12:38] <morgs> khaled: I can't see anything wrong :(
[12:39] <cjwatson> k-man_--: up to dapper, it's the 'id' (initdefault) field in /etc/inittab; from edgy on, it's /etc/event.d/rc-default (which does look at /etc/inittab too, for compatibility)
[12:39] <morgs> khaled: unfortunately I have to go, hope somebody here can help!
[12:39] <khaled> morgs, i have a backup od the original sources.list, shoul i resore it?
[12:39] <elfreakz> morgs, rhythmbox cant import my mp3 folder?
[12:39] <khaled> morgs, ok
[12:39] <k-man_--> cjwatson, ah, i see
[12:39] <khaled> morgs, thanks anyway
[12:39] <k-man_--> thanks
[12:39] <VSpike> !ntfs-3g

[12:42] <gnomefreak> eltech: gksudo "update-manager -c"
[12:42] <ken> I have installed ubuntu, and am confronted with the same problem, namely refresh rates. Ubuntu simply puts my refresh rate at mind-hurting low rates. Someone please help me. I did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", and set my monitor rates @ (HxV) 31-54x50-99.
[12:42] <ken> And now in screen resolution, i get option for running 800x600 mode @ 86Hz, and the same for 640x480 modes
[12:42] <eltech> gnomefreak thanks

[12:45] <smoenux> ^_^
[12:45] <johns^> ken: what kind of graphics card
[12:45] <ken> I already asked a question above in excruciatingly long detail. please scroll above and see
[12:46] <ken> i am having a "nvidia geforce fx 5200"
[12:46] <johns^> ken: did you install nvidia-glx?
[12:46] <ken> no
[12:46] <smoenux> ken, ah... ic, just bot back to my pc :P
[12:46] <ken> i dont wish to
[12:46] <smoenux> got*
[12:46] <johns^> ken: apt-get install nvidia-glx
[12:46] <johns^> ah
[12:46] <ken> is it possible for me to get correct refresh rate without using any proprietry drivers?
[12:46] <johns^> in dpkg-reconfigure, did you enter the memory size?
[12:47] <johns^> like 128000
[12:47] <smoenux> ken have you triied to add the extra resolutions you need to the xorg.conf file ?
[12:47] <ken> johns^: no i left it blank
[12:47] <rapid> see-g, do another 10000 then come back
[12:47] <johns^> ken: then try again
[12:47] <ken> smoenux: I added it through reconfigure command
[12:47] <johns^> ken: at the end, select 'medium' instead of advanced
[12:48] <ken> johns^: selecting medium doesn't help
[12:48] <johns^> ken: so you can select resolutions and refresh rates
[12:48] <johns^> ken: and adding the memory size?
[12:48] <see-g> rapid: with or without bugfixing? (what was it like? approximately one bug in 100 lines of code?)
[12:48] <ken> johns^: And manually entering my VxH refresh rates in "advanced" too doesn't help
[12:48] <smoenux> Can someone help me with my Sound! I have 5.1 surround (which works fine btw) but the Base is comming out the wrong speaker !!!
[12:48] <johns^> ken: agiain: and adding the memory size?
[12:49] <smoenux> my speaker is dying
[12:49] <gavin> Soo, yeah. Anybody know why I can't install real player? What's xlib?
[12:49] <ken> johns^: from what i understand people with memory onboard the graphics card (mine has 128mb dedicated GPU memory) are supposed to keep it blank. SO i kept it blank
[12:49] <prOMiNd> oO Hello aLL Oo :.
[12:49] <johns^> ken: maybe, but i've got an fx 5200 with no problems up to 1600x1400 or something
[12:50] <johns^> then again, I'm using nvidia-glx
[12:50] <ken> johns^: but my monitorCRT can't support those resolutions
[12:51] <ken> johns^: i simply want 800x600 @ 85Hz. which my monitor supports in Windows. I selected it in reconfiugre..."medium", as well as put the values in "advanced". but that doesn't help
[12:51] <johns^> well, that's strange
[12:52] <ken> johns^: Now, whenever i select 800x600 or 640x480, the screen resolution dialog box says (86Hz), whereas it actually should be 85Hz (my monitor can only support 85hz not more than that, how do i bring the value back to 85hz)
[12:52] <ken> so than when i select either 800x600 or 640x480, x simply restarts
[12:53] <ken> and i am stuck in 1024x768 @ 61Hz (this too should be 60Hz), but somehow this all got messed up. I reconfigured the x file various times, using the refresh rates of my manual. but that doesn;t help
[12:53] <cpk1> ken: do you know the HorizSync and VertRefresh for your monitor?
[12:53] <ken> PLEASE HELP
[12:53] <ken> cpkl: my manual says it
[12:53] <ken> cpkl: and i did a internet search and found that online information agrees with my manual
[12:53] <cpk1> ken: and you put those values into xorg.conf?
[12:54] <ken> cpkl: i ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and entered those values in "advanced" section of monitor detection
[12:54] <Mandy|P> after tyring to install xp, my grub is destroyed. it does appear but when i select ubuntu it says error 15: file not found. i tried several ways of fixing it but it all comes out to this error. anyone here who can help?
[12:55] <ken> Guys i need help my eyes hurt @ 60Hz, and i dont want to leave ubuntu one more time simply due to GODDAMN refresh rates
[12:55] <ken> someone who knows how to do it right, please tell me

[12:56] <smoenux> Mandy|P,  :) never install xp after you install Linux :P
[12:56] <cpk1> ken: do "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and then look for Section "Monitor" and make sure the values are correct
[12:56] <m0Z> i need some quick help if this is the right place :)
[12:56] <smoenux> Mandy|P,  unfortunately I don't know how to fix it :(
[12:56] <Mandy|P> anybody who does??

[12:56] <gavin> m0Z: Just ask your question.
[12:56] <Thuryn> ok
[12:56] <mats> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Monitor
[12:56] <ken> cpkl: If the values are incorrect?
[12:56] <kaptengu> ken: you should be able to change that under Screen Resolution, otherwise, look at xorg.conf
[12:57] <smoenux> ken, can you pastbin your xorg.conf?
[12:57] <kaptengu> lol..paste here?!
[12:57] <smoenux> no
[12:57] <mats> m0Z: maybe
[12:57] <gnomefreak> smoenux: open the file and paste it to pastebin
[12:57] <kaptengu> ;)

[12:58] <anorexicpillow> okay that is weird.. when i click on my clock to open the calender it says that "The Application Clock Applet has quit unexpectedly"
[12:58] <tonyyarusso> eltech: It can...you just have to tell it to use that one
[12:58] <ken> These values are right, i know that, i entered it into the "advanced" section from my manual
[12:59] <gnomefreak> !pastebin > ken
[12:59] <dreamer> anybody here with mt-daap experience ?
[12:59] <eltech> hmm .. i did .. not happening though
[12:59] <eltech> only manual, use continuous free space or erase whole hard disk
[12:59] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Start the computer with a live-cd. Run a root-terminal, type: grub (enter) , wait, in prompt type root(hd0,0) if your /boot or / partition is hda1 (enter) setup(hd0) (enter) then just quit
[01:00] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: the bot said it better
[01:00] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: i'm logged into my system with the destroyed grub atm using the SGD super grub disc
[01:00] <Mandy|P> right now
[01:00] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: ok
[01:00] <tonyyarusso> eltech: manually edit the table, yes, but you don't have to create anything
[01:00] <mOZ> i've never worked with linux before so i have no idea. If I install ubuntu on a USB stick, will I be able to install software and use them, or will it be as if i was inserting a live cd?
[01:00] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: What is your root-partition?
[01:00] <eltech> lets try it again then i guess
[01:01] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: how can i figure this out?
[01:01] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: type: cat /etc/fstab
[01:01] <gavin> mOZ: You can install software if you are using a USB stick (of course assuming you have room).
[01:01] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: find line with /
[01:01] <gavin> mOZ: It's basically no different than a hard-disk.
[01:01] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: it says something like /dev/hda1
[01:02] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: or if you have one eith /boot, then that one
[01:02] <mOZ> great thnx. it's exactly what i need. I need to develop a project for the university under linux, so having it on usb stick will be no problem moving my job from uni and back
[01:03] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: you mean / under mount point?
[01:03] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: yup
[01:03] <Mandy|P> there is no line with that
[01:03] <Mandy|P> only with /proc
[01:03] <Mandy|P> maybe that's the reason why my first tries to restore it failed
[01:03] <ken> gnomefreak: smoenux: kaptengu: cpkl: paste bin is giving my QUERY FAILURE, DUPLICATE entry, and all rubbish, please help me
[01:03] <ken> *me
[01:03] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: :(
[01:04] <mOZ> I tried installing on an external hard-disk for that reason but wouldnt boot properly. gave kernel panic error.  USB should be fine i guess
[01:04] <Mandy|P> proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
[01:04] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Maybe you should check the help pages for clues
[01:04] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:04] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: oh please don't send me back to the wikis. they can't help that'S why i'm here
[01:04] <Mandy|P> i allready checked there
[01:05] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: OK. Sorry
[01:05] <gavin> mOZ: I have shakey results with USB. Depends a lot on the BOIS. Good luck.
[01:05] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: maybe i can just create a line for / ?
[01:05] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: No
[01:06] <rapid> mOZ, i installed slax earlier to a 256mb memory stick, totally portable OS in ya pocket its cool :)
[01:06] <ken> gnomefreak: smoenux: kaptengu: cpkl: Here is my pastebined .conf file: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37161/

[01:10] <mats> ken: the life with linux <3
[01:10] <khaled> hi everyone, i have a question, i read an article in ubuntu websit about InitNG whch can speed up my machine, but the instructions were for dapper, is it ok to use them for edgy?
[01:10] <tonyyarusso> Starcraftmazter: apt-cache policy perl
[01:10] <Starcraftmazter> thanks
[01:10] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: then when grub loads... type: root(hd0,3)
[01:10] <Starcraftmazter> hey it's the latest :D
[01:11] <ken> khaled: If you are going to use Ubuntu you are going to end up in tears: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
[01:11] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: And then: setup(hd0)
[01:11] <Hawkins> How do I restart X via VNC, can't use CTRL+ALT+backspace :|
[01:11] <khaled> ken, what do u mean?
[01:11] <mats> ken: hehe ;)
[01:11] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: How are you doing?
[01:11] <mo> how can i read input when i execute java-code in scite?
[01:11] <dreamer> on my desktop I can't find my mt-daap server with Avahi (or any other program)
[01:12] <gavin> khaled: Ken is having a bad day.
[01:12] <ken> khaled: I mean exactly what i say. Instead if using LInux, turn a pirate and Get all the GODDAMN windows software, but for the sake of your family, dont use LInux

[01:13] <kaptengu> ken: maybe you should consider installing nvidia-drivers
[01:13] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Did you type: root(hd0,3) first?
[01:13] <Mandy|P> yes
[01:14] <khaled> ken, yesterday i have just decided after one year of hesitation to completely delete windows and never use pirated software again, u r not helping me! :)
[01:14] <Mandy|P> but my / is hda4!
[01:14] <Mandy|P> don't i have to type hda4 then??
[01:14] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: yes but grub counts from 0

[01:19] <anorexicpillow> i know what it is and basic knowledge of it but nothing advanced

[01:21] <ken> Did someone kick me?
[01:21] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: could you check if the file /boot/grub/stage1 exists...
[01:21] <cyphase> there needs to be a better notification theme in ubuntu
[01:21] <Mandy|P> yes it does
[01:21] <ken> HELP, what are the "nv" drivers that appear in the list of drivers when one runs sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:22] <ken> Does "nv"=nvidia?
[01:22] <ken> So if i am having a nvidia card, should i select, VESA or NV from that list?
[01:22] <cyphase> ken: yes
[01:22] <Blippe> is it possible to get usplash to work on a 1024x640 screen?
[01:22] <cyphase> nv
[01:22] <ken> cyphase: and am i using free or proprietry drivers when i say "nv"?
[01:22] <cyphase> ken: nv is the open source driver. nvidia is closed source, but it has 3D support
[01:23] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: The only thing I can think of is that we got the root-partition wrong somehow. Try other combinations. root (hd0,2)
[01:23] <ken> cyphase: So i am having nvidia geForce fx5200, and i should select "nv" from that list, which is open source nvidia driver (NOT proprietry one), and 3D support will be DISABLED, right?
[01:24] <cyphase> ken: right
[01:24] <cyphase> ken: it's not "disabled", it just doesn't work
[01:24] <kogler> Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 6.06.1, and I wish to move to Xubuntu 6.10.
[01:24] <ken> cyphase: And if i want 3d support there is no way except to install nvidia-glx, right?
[01:25] <kogler> How do I do this?
[01:25] <ken> kogler: And what's stopping you?
[01:25] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: there you go.. i did grub> root (hd0,1) and then setup (hd0) then it suceeded nice thanks your my hero :-*
[01:25] <ken> :)
[01:25] <cyphase> ken: right
[01:25] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Actually sorry...
[01:25] <Starcraftmazter> as a sidequestion, why do most websites look like crap? They look like IE7 is running them from windows, as opposed to ff2 from windows
[01:25] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: That won't solve your problem...
[01:25] <Mandy|P> no?
[01:25] <kabtoffe> I just reread your questions...
[01:25] <phiqtion> can i get the msttcorefonts package from somewhere?
[01:25] <ken> cyphase: one more thing, what would happen if i select some other driver from that list in sudo dpkg-reconfigure...? for eg.VESA?
[01:26] <ledemente> ken, how do I do this?
[01:26] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Because the partitions are ordered differently now...
[01:26] <cpk1> ledemente: I was going to tell you what to do but now I have chalked you up to being a troll after switching names like that
[01:26] <ken> ledemente: what?
[01:26] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: after you installed windows
[01:26] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: i hop this didn't destroy my system totally now!
[01:26] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: I'm guessing it's the same as before
[01:26] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: So. No worries.
[01:26] <cyphase> ken: some won't work at all. vesa will work, but it'll be lagging and not as clear as nv
[01:26] <ledemente> cpkl, this isn't my computer - I had to change from the default and I accidentally changed to my old one.
[01:27] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: i will never try this again windows on linux
[01:27] <kabtoffe> But we need to alter your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:27] <Mandy|P> ok
[01:27] <kabtoffe> Anyone know if there's an easy way to alter grub's menu.lst???
[01:27] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: let's do it
[01:28] <ken> cyphase: Thank you, may i hug you:)?
[01:28] <cyphase> ken: that doesn't really work out over TCP/IP
[01:28] <ledemente> ken, what do I need to do to upgrade the distro, then the variant (XFCE)
[01:28] <cyphase> but thanx for the thought :P
[01:28] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Do you know how to edit a file with root?
[01:29] <Mandy|P> yes
[01:29] <ken> cyphase: Endnote, are you 100% sure nv=nvidia and its open source? I am thinking why didn't they put that in the list as "nvidia"?
[01:29] <cpk1> !upgrade
[01:29] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:29] <ken> cyphase: Hilarious comment :)
[01:29] <Mandy|P> paste it?
[01:29] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: You need to find the line that says default grub device
[01:29] <kabtoffe> kabtoffe: grub root device
[01:29] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: grub root device
[01:29] <kanzie> does anyone but me experience long loadingtimes when starting Firefox on Edgy?
[01:30] <ken> ledemente: I would suggest get a xubuntu 6.10 CD, and make a new system? That's least painfull. But still linux=painful, always remember! :)
[01:30] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: I seem to talk to myself, every now and then...
[01:30] <gnomefreak> ken: nv is not 3d
[01:30] <cyphase> ken: yes, nv is the nvidia driver. it's not called nvidia because that's the name of the closed source driver
[01:30] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: hehe :-) default grub 3 lines commented out
[01:30] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: They're supposed to be
[01:30] <ledemente> ken, I do have a CD, but I'd really rather not. I haven't used Linux for a while, and I'm rusty.
[01:30] <Mandy|P> kabtoffe: good
[01:30] <Mandy|P> now?
[01:31] <ken> gnomefreak: cyphase: Thank you, and that means if i want to do some 3d rendering in BLENDER, i wont be able to do unless i use nvidia-glx, right?
[01:31] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: what does groot= say?
[01:31] <gnomefreak> ken: correct
[01:31] <cyphase> ken: right
[01:31] <ken> ledemente: If you haven't used Linux for a while, than you are the perfect candidate for doing a fresh install
[01:31] <Mandy|P> ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
[01:31] <Mandy|P> # groot=(hd0,3)
[01:31] <ken> ledemente: As it is a fresh install is driving me nuts, i recommend not upgrading
[01:31] <kanzie> How can I get suspend to work on my Thinkpad T60 with xgl?
[01:32] <ken> gnomefreak: cyphase: Thank you for your help
[01:32] <cyphase> ken: your welcome
[01:32] <prOMiNd> any know how to install in opera adobe flash player ?!
[01:32] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: OK change that to (hd0,1)
[01:32] <ken> gnomefreak: I regret the first encounter was unpleasant, but we made up :)
[01:32] <gnomefreak> yw
[01:32] <gnomefreak> ken: its all good
[01:32] <Mandy|P> # groot=(hd0,1) ?
[01:32] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Wasn't it (hd0,1) that work in the grub install?
[01:32] <Mandy|P> with comment?
[01:32] <ken> bye, bye!
[01:32] <slicky> o
[01:32] <Mandy|P> yes
[01:32] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: yes with comment
[01:33] <ledemente> ken, I have no trouble installing. I simply do not want to. It is much less trouble to upgrade, because this isn't my computer and the person who owns it is somewhat particular.
[01:33] <Mandy|P> ok now
[01:33] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Save the file and run: update-grub
[01:33] <nzhomie> ok who needs help with something
[01:33] <Mandy|P> done
[01:34] <barros> have anyone here experienced some kind of conflict between a USB wireless adapter, using ndiswrapper, and pen-drive??
[01:34] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Now reopen the file and check if changed the root-line in all the boot options for ubuntu at the bottom of the file...
[01:34] <echosystm> is win4lin still faster than vmware?
[01:35] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: It should say root (hd0,1) under the title lines
[01:35] <Mandy|P> ## ## End Default Options ##
[01:35] <Mandy|P> title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
[01:35] <Mandy|P> root		(hd0,1)
[01:35] <kanzie> how can I find out which kernel Im running?
[01:35] <Samuli^> kanzie, uname -r
[01:35] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: Now I think it should work.
[01:35] <Mandy|P> nice
[01:36] <Mandy|P> i will try it when it works i want a child from ymou
[01:36] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: If it wasn't for the new UUID stuff, your system wouldn't have booted at all.
[01:36] <kabtoffe> Mandy|P: With the grubdisc
[01:36] <kanzie> ok, so I have 2.6.17-10, if I want to update it... can I use synaptic?
[01:37] <teclo-> Say, how fast would Ubuntu 6.06 with KDE as a desktop on a iBook G3 at 900 MHz with 384 MB of RAM ?
[01:37] <teclo-> +be
[01:38] <Samuli^> kanzie, update-manager should take care of that.
[01:38] <rambo3> 30 km/h fast
[01:38] <Tidus> teclo-, shouldn't be too bad
[01:38] <Tigge> Can I somewhere find out what the new 2.6.17-10 kernel added over the old?
[01:38] <Tidus> teclo-, i had it running on a pentium 3 500mhz with 256mb ram... was still quite responsive
[01:39] <rambo3> Tigge, look in /boot and see what kernel config says
[01:39] <teclo-> Tidus: ah
[01:39] <teclo-> Tidus: but powerpc is faster than pentium at the same clock speed (RISC versus CISC processors)
[01:39] <Tidus> teclo-, i know that lol...
[01:39] <kabtoffe> Oops I just realized I missed a spot in the menu.lst... Mandy|P wont be able to boot :(
[01:39] <Tigge> rambo3: I'm not sure I can make anything out of that.. I'm not that technical :)
[01:39] <Tidus> i was sayin your desktop should still be quite responsive to it
[01:40] <cyphase> hmm, you can change the notification daemon theme in gconf
[01:41] <rambo3> Tigge, then why do you ask. its config for kernel you are using drivers and such. then you need to take a look in modules to see fine tuning
[01:41] <rambo3> i mean /etc
[01:41] <Tigge> rambo3: hm yeah.. I though there might be a few new nice functions but hm..
[01:42] <Tigge> rambo3: guess I should not ask stupid questions :)
[01:42] <rambo3> Tigge its nothing speciall in  2.6.10.X. wait for 2.6.X change

[02:01] <frogzoo> mr_claus: I'm pretty sure it runs - which version u have?
[02:01] <jrib> Bil_Bomba: hmm, I have no clue.  Sometimes people pass acpi=off and get ubuntu to boot when it refuses to.  You can give that a try, but if no one here knows at the moment you might want to try the forums or the mailing list
[02:01] <flavioribeiro> i just can wait and see the error
