[03:15] <laughyn1nj4> so if i want to backup an entire partition (using tar) and it's mounted at /samba, do i just backup the /samba or is there a better way to do it?
[03:15] <nathanhelp> thief`: Thats my problem. I have 3 kids, a preggy wife, and a two storey house to look after. I dont have a lot of time :D
[03:15] <redvamp128> nathanhelp:  I am not sure if samba will default let you write to ntfs-- but does not hurt to have both installed
[03:15] <_2> so does anyone know why ssh would check permission of $HOME before deciding whether or not to use public keys form $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys  ?
[03:16] <MethinX>  what i need to do is replace a windows domain controller with a ubuntu comp, will samba have this ability?
[03:16] <thief`> nathanhelp, i found, if i just ran progs like firefox and open office... and didn't really do much, i had  NO probs, but when you try to do things - like change thins, that's wherr eyou gottaa learn how.
[03:16] <jrib> _2: don't you think that makes sense?
[03:16] <tomodachi> MethinX: what kind of window domain controller?
[03:16] <Steven_M> everytime I try to apt-get update I get this result. http://pastebin.com/d148bd853
[03:16] <tomodachi> nt, 2k ,r 2k3
[03:16] <_2> jrib no not at all
[03:16] <MethinX> windows server 2003
[03:16] <_2> why should it /
[03:16] <_2> ?
[03:17] <thief`> MethinX, huge corps. use linux for that. so yes. but i don't know how.
[03:17] <tomodachi> MethinX: i think i depends on what features you use in your win2k3 domain controller
[03:17] <tomodachi> im not really skilled in the subject
[03:17] <tomodachi> but last time i checked samba server could replace a nt4 domain controller
[03:17] <tomodachi> but that was some time ago
[03:17] <nomasteryoda> tomodachi, that is true
[03:17] <BigDaddy-LA> HilBilly
[03:17] <_2> jrib if the user owns the ~/.ssh  and it's accessable only by the user than what does the permission on ~ have to do with anything ?
[03:17] <nomasteryoda> jsut not the active directory server
[03:18] <thief`> Steven_M, your keys are bad.
[03:18] <thief`> del them.
[03:18] <MethinX> ok thanks
[03:18] <laughyn1nj4> ahem rm them
[03:18] <thief`> or use synaptic, there is options in there to screw with the keys.
[03:18] <thief`> type sudo synaptic
[03:18] <bruwstout> wouldnt it be rm -rf
[03:18] <WebcamWonder> thief`: gksu for graphical please :)
[03:18] <kindofabuzz> how do i make a sym link to folders in a folder but not the main folder?
[03:19] <thief`> what really does that do? i've done both...
[03:19] <thief`> heh
[03:19] <_2> jrib or said another way, it makes about as much sense to me as it checking the perms on  / would.
[03:19] <WebcamWonder> !gksu | thief`
[03:19] <Brohana> How would I disable having to have permission to write a file?
[03:19] <thief`> hmmm
[03:19] <laughyn1nj4> Brohana:use windows
[03:19] <Out_Cold> Brohana, change the permissions to 777
[03:20] <thief`> 777 is full control.
[03:20] <Brohana> Alright
[03:20] <thief`> 555 is read and execute isn't it?
[03:20] <Steven_M> thief`: what would cause that, I didn't do anything to them?
[03:21] <thief`> chmod 555 filename?
[03:21] <Gustavo_G_> I am trying to install the lzo2 development library but am not sure how to proceed. Any suggestions?
[03:21] <Steven_M> thief`: yes it is
[03:21] <thief`> WebcamWonder, when i do that, i get this every time... i do'nt think it's a problem really, but what do you tink?
[03:21] <thief`> (gedit:7025): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/animations/small/22x22 of theme default.kde4 has no size field
[03:21] <mrpinky> hi, i accidentally removed my "admin" group membership, so i booted into recovery mode and root console, then i used "adduser nbingham admin" to get my admin back, and i check that it is correcly applied with "id nbingham". but when i restart, i have different group memberships (not including admin). any clues? :(
[03:21] <Out_Cold> thief`, read up about on permission numbers... keep yourself as a 6 or 7 and change the rest to 5,6 or 7
[03:21] <Taladan> hey, looking for suggestions for FOSS web-based business managment software...something that can do Point of Sale, work orders, accounts receivable/payable, general ledger, etc.
[03:21] <rodolfo> thief` could you tell me what command makes gnome-panel disappear please?
[03:21] <thief`> yeah, i know what ya mean Out_Cold
[03:21] <tomodachi> hmm Taladan maybe salesforce.com is something?
[03:21] <WebcamWonder> thief`: That is just a theme icon mismatch. It is fine
[03:21] <mrpinky> Taladan, webERP (small and nice) or Compiere (bloated)
[03:21] <thief`> i don't really screw with perms. just for me  trusty pr0n dir.
[03:21] <thief`> haha
[03:21] <tomodachi> havent looked on crm systems for quite some time ..
[03:22]  * Taladan looks
[03:22] <thief`> yeah, thought so... dumb error ( i have an eee so my fonts / icons are tiny)
[03:22] <try2free> my local systems can't access the Internet after shorewall clear. and restart. how to fix that? before that everything ok.
[03:22] <Taladan> I've looked at nolapro a bit, and it's nice, but I want to 'shop around' as it were
[03:22] <laughyn1nj4> that's one dir i keep private 700, thief
[03:22] <thief`> hahah
[03:22] <thief`> yep.
[03:22] <Out_Cold> thief`, i have had servers and ssh boxes that i've needed to change several permissions.. it's really a good thing to learn if anyone other than yourself has access to your comp
[03:22] <mrpinky> cmon i don't want to reinstall ubuntu just because i can't get my admin membership back :( please help me :)
[03:22] <bruwstout> that is the folder i encrypt
[03:23] <thief`> Out_Cold, thing with me (for now at least) is - i'm theonly one even close to my pruter that has  a clue about linux.
[03:23] <WebcamWonder> TrueCrypt with triple cascading cipher FTW!
[03:23] <thief`> Out_Cold,  my /pr0n is hidden as well. just in case lil nephew comes along and finds nautilus... hahah
[03:23] <therootest> I have installed the compiz but the cube wont work. Can someone please help me?
[03:23] <Taladan> mrpinky: you deleted admin group?
[03:24] <Natali> hi
[03:24] <tomodachi> therootest: how does it not work?
[03:24] <Taladan> our just removed user from membership?
[03:24] <TheFunkbomb> Where are the default GDMs (log in screens) stored?
[03:24] <thief`> mrpinky, why do you think you lost admin?
[03:24] <Out_Cold> yea like i said, one user, who cares..
[03:24] <zumz> mrpinky: live cd and edit it?
[03:24] <nathanhelp> ok Basic question. Lets say (for real example that i can learn off) I dont have ntfs-3g in my synaptic list. I have the website however and I want to install the ntfs-3g drivers. Whats the difference between Source and Binary? (both sound the same to me).
[03:24] <tomodachi> therootest: have you installed compizconfig settings manager?
[03:24] <tomodachi> therootest:  your need to enable the cube there
[03:24] <thief`> i'd think losing root would be hard to do.
[03:24] <therootest> tomodachi: i have everything installed from adept. Then i open CCSM and choose the cube and the rotating cube effects.
[03:24] <ghostdog21> hi@all
[03:25] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: You would have to compile the entire driver yourself. Compiling is a pain, and most of the time dependency hell
[03:25] <mrpinky> thief` because when i do "id" it doesn't include admin :(
[03:25] <therootest> tomodachi: and then it just doesnt do anything!
[03:25] <macman> .. guys i tried to do a md5sum on a iso and it said : No such file or directory .. any ideas ?
[03:25] <Spreadsheet> ghostdog21: this is one of the most active channels in all of irc
[03:25] <tomodachi> there are several cube plugins maybe youre using the wrong one? or you dont have any keys assigned to the action
[03:25] <ghostdog21> sorry, but i've a problem anyone time 4 helping me?!
[03:25] <mrpinky> zumz, but edit what...? i checked my /etc/group and "admin:x:115:nbingham" is in there :( it just doesn't appear when i "id" myself :(
[03:25] <Taladan> mrpinky: go into recovery and edit /etc/group
[03:25] <Spreadsheet> macman: maybe put the right path to the file? ;)
[03:25] <nathanhelp> WebcamWonder: What does that mean? what is compiling? Please explain as clearly as you can, I'm trying to learn but theres a lot to take in.
[03:25] <_2>  octal permission structure   each three digit base two  number is represented as   rwx = 111_2 = 7_8   and the three digit (actually four digit) octal permission is  (special)(owner)(group)(world)  normally the first digit is not mentioned = 0      0755   normal dir perms default   0644  normal file perms default for data   0755 normal file perms default for executables
[03:25] <macman> i was in teh same directory Spreadsheet
[03:25] <laughyn1nj4> macman: do you have md5sum installed?  md5sum --version
[03:26] <Spreadsheet> what is the name of the ISO
[03:26] <macman> yes
[03:26] <Taladan> mrpinky: add your username after admin:x:<number>:<user>
[03:26] <zumz> well wasnt it sudoers file you edited before?
[03:26] <Taladan> hm
[03:26] <laughyn1nj4> then try again...you proly typed thge path wrong
[03:26] <macman> laughyn1nj4 its version 3
[03:26] <draeday_> hey everytime i'm playing music with listen it freezes and i dont know y
[03:26] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: Sure. The source, is the source code itself (what developers write). It is then compiled (machine code - something computers can read/understand) into a binary
[03:26] <TheEdge_> i am using Mplayer  put when ever i play a dvd i can't use ctrl+m  nothing happens.. also when I click a menu button in the picture nothing happens
[03:27] <TheFunkbomb> Where are the default GDMs stored?
[03:27] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: Binaries are highly platform dependent (so, a binary for a 32bit OS will mostof the time not work with 64 bit OS)
[03:27] <tomodachi> TheEdge_: what is ctrl m supposed to do?
[03:27] <nathanhelp> WebcamWonder:  so a binary file are the ones i want to download?
[03:27] <orbstra> hey how do I unmount the USB drive i just mounted in ubuntu linux thruogh CLI
[03:27] <macman> no good
[03:27] <mrpinky> Taladan, my username is already there "admin:x:115:nbingham" :( but after i tried to add myself to a group with usermod, "id" no longer shows membership to any groups except the one i tried to add, i lost "admin" group as far as "id" is concerned :( but still have it as far as "/etc/group" is concerned
[03:27] <tomodachi> orbstra: sudo umount /medaia/nameofyourdevice
[03:27] <thief`> mrpinky, what  does it say your uid is?
[03:27] <nathanhelp> binary for the Ubuntu x86 platform?
[03:27] <Spreadsheet> macman: $ ls
[03:27] <_2> TheFunkbomb /etc/gdm/
[03:27] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: In order to solve the pain that is caused by compiling (trust me it is a pain if things don't work out properly), Ubuntu gives many many softwares as binaries tailored to your OS
[03:27] <mrpinky> thief`, "id" says uid=1000
[03:28] <TheFunkbomb> _2, that makes sense
[03:28] <TheEdge_> tomodachi: it should send you to the DVD menu
[03:28] <supernoob> the other day a friend put some  music on my MP3 player, but he put it in random folders accidentally. How can I compare the difference in folders on my mp3 player with my main laptop music folder?
[03:28] <thief`> mrpinky,  i'm no expert but i believe 1000 is root
[03:28] <tomodachi> TheEdge_: open it in terminal
[03:28] <therootest> tomodachi: i have the plugins thing installed from the adept manager. It cant be the wrong cube. And the hotkeys are OK. I think the problem is that compiz is not my default windows manager and i dont know how to make it default.
[03:28] <thief`> my uid is 1000
[03:28] <TheFunkbomb> awesome name by the way.  It's really you
[03:28] <tomodachi> and see what the std out logging says
[03:28] <thief`> mrpinky, i believe 1000 is the first user created at install.
[03:28] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: Yes, but it is much more preffered that you get the packages from Ubuntu repositories since they have been tested by many many peopl
[03:28] <lstarnes> thief`: root is either 0
[03:28] <_2> thief` uid = 0  is superuser
[03:28] <lstarnes> er, without the either
[03:28] <mrpinky> thief`, that would make sense, i only have one account, which i created at install.
[03:28] <TheEdge_> tomodachi: Mplayer ??
[03:29] <tomodachi> TheEdge_: yes
[03:29] <thief`> mrpinky, ok, then type sudo id
[03:29] <tomodachi> open a terminal
[03:29] <nathanhelp> WebcamWonder: Ok. I have no ntfs-3g in my accessible list. Restricted is enabled. what else can i do to access them?
[03:29] <Taladan> mrpinky: I'm not sure then dude...afaik that's the file that determines group membership
[03:29] <tomodachi> then open gmplayer from there
[03:29] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: What version of ubuntu are you runnning?
[03:29] <TheEdge_> tomodachi: who do i do that.. only been using Linux/ubuntu for 2 days now
[03:29] <nathanhelp> WebcamWonder: 8.10
[03:29] <_2> thief` uid = 1000 ~ ?   is the normal user range, as specified in some config in /etc
[03:29] <mrpinky> thief`, "sudo id" tells me "nbingham is not in the sudoers file", which also makes sense, because i don't seem to have "admin" group membership
[03:29] <supernoob> need some help
[03:30] <nathanhelp> WebcamWonder: Gnome.
[03:30] <supernoob> i think i need a synchronizing program or something
[03:30] <supernoob> the other day a friend put some  music on my MP3 player, but he put it in random folders accidentally. How can I compare the difference in folders on my mp3 player with my main laptop music folder?
[03:30] <tomodachi> TheEdge_:  applications -accessories - terminal
[03:30] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: You should have ntfs-3g :S
[03:30] <thief`> mrpinky, hmm, i see what you mean now.
[03:30] <tomodachi> TheEdge_:  locate gmplayer with
[03:30] <WebcamWonder> !info ntfs-3g
[03:30] <nathanhelp> WebcamWonder: I know i should have them but i dont. Or am looking in the wrong place.
[03:30] <tomodachi> whereis gmplayer
[03:30] <tomodachi> then type the path
[03:30] <mrpinky> thief`, i can edit /etc/groups or memberships by restarting into recovery console. but the changes i make don't seem to persist when i restart :(
[03:31] <tomodachi> mrpinky: are you logged in as root when you do them?
[03:31] <therootest> tomodachi: the compiz i runned in terminal as root showed:
[03:31] <therootest> Couldn't find a perfect decorator match; trying all decorators
[03:31] <therootest> Starting kde-window-decorator
[03:31] <thief`> tomodachi, he can't get root.
[03:31] <Taladan> mrpinky: try rebuilding your user account in recovery and add that new account to sudoers?
[03:31] <TheEdge_> tomodachi: i know  :)   but how do i start mplayer via terminal
[03:31] <mrpinky> tomodachi, yes i restart in recovery console and choose the "root prompt" option
[03:31] <thief`> tomodachi, "sudo id" tells me "nbingham is not in the sudoers file"  - he said.
[03:31] <tomodachi> thief`: ok
[03:31] <orbstra> what if it says the file is in use that I am trying to eject tomodachi
[03:31] <tomodachi> well if he starts in recovery he should be root
[03:31] <nathanhelp> WebcamWonder: I'm going to try closing my synaptic and trying some install from terminal in case they are IN the repo, but not on my list for some reason.
[03:32] <_2> mrpinky just restart into recovery mode and use the command useradd    man useradd   for details
[03:32] <tomodachi> orbstra:  then you have something open using it close your apps terminals etc
[03:32] <thief`> The_Rebel, type totem in the terminal - works great.
[03:32] <The_Rebel> thanks for the tip thief`
[03:32] <tomodachi> orbstra: you can se whats using it with lsof in terminal
[03:32] <MTecknology> I'm trying to install something. I altered the configs and tried to wipe it off my system so I could do a clean install of the package but it doesn't restore configs....
[03:32] <orbstra> tomodachi : I am doing it thruogh cli
[03:32] <tomodachi> orbstra: you might have to grep it
[03:32] <thief`> sorry, that was supposed to be to TheEdge_
[03:32] <thief`> haha
[03:32] <mrpinky> _2, i have done that, and it adds, and i see the admin group when i "id" that account, then when i restart that group is gone :(
[03:32] <orbstra> the folder is /mnt/usb so I am doing lsof | grep usb
[03:32] <WebcamWonder> nathanhelp: Synaptic and the terminal read one and the same list, there is no difference. I haven't worked with Intrepid, but on hardy, they do show up as an extra package. I presuem they are now directly integrated into the kernel somehow
[03:32] <InevGlitch> Anybody familiar with the nvidia geforce fx 5600
[03:33] <orbstra> and a bunch of things are using it tomodachi how do I close them
[03:33] <tomodachi> orbstra:  you can always do sud umount -l
[03:33] <TheEdge_> thief:  thanks   :)
[03:33] <tomodachi> do to a lazy unmount
[03:33] <tomodachi> to do
[03:33] <orbstra> what would that do tomodachi
[03:33] <tomodachi> orbstra: if you cant find them apps kill them
[03:33] <mrpinky> unless there are other ideas, i will back up my home directory and try to delete/recreate the user account from root console :( back later
[03:33] <thief`> TheEdge_, i installed vlc, but i don't use it  cause i don't need to cause totem works well ( for movies)
[03:33] <Taladan> mrpinky: that's what I would do
[03:33] <Natali> helo
[03:34] <tomodachi> thief`: totem sucks
[03:34] <mrpinky> Taladan, okay, thanks :)
[03:34] <thief`> tomodachi, but it works.
[03:34] <tomodachi> thief`:  but if youre happy then use it
[03:34] <tomodachi> :)
[03:34] <_2> mrpinky </blinks>   should work.   drastic but affective
[03:34] <Out_Cold> isn't there a sudoers list? apart from /etc/groups?
[03:34] <thief`> tomodachi, i know what you mean though.
[03:34] <tomodachi> thief`: unsexy girls also work , but you want sexy ones right?!
[03:34] <thief`> tomodachi, do you meean the qual of video sucks? or what about it that sucks?
[03:34] <orbstra> i am trying to kill the process I thnk are associated with the HD but they wont go away even after I kill their suspected pid
[03:34] <InevGlitch> lol @ tomodachi
[03:34] <TheEdge_> libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device.  i can see this error in the terminal when try to play dvd
[03:34] <tomodachi> thief`: support for codecs
[03:34] <h4x0r> HELLO EVERYONE
[03:34] <tomodachi> etc
[03:34] <mrpinky> Out_Cold, there is /etc/sudoers, but my account is not there directly. /etc/sudoers gives the "admin" group sudo access, and my account should be in the "admin" group
[03:34] <orbstra> is the pid the first 5 digit number from the left when you do lsof | grep usb
[03:35] <n2diy> A buddy of mine has seen the light, and has agreed to let me install Ubuntu on his box. He want's to dual boot with XP Home Ed. His box is AFU, so I want to do a "bare metal" install on the drive. Are there any guides/Howtos on this?
[03:35] <orbstra> usb being the folder associated with my mounetd HD
[03:35] <tomodachi> mrpinky: you should belong to the adm group under /etc/group
[03:35] <Out_Cold> yea.. i remember doing something in there...
[03:35] <mrpinky> tomodachi, "adm" or "admin"?
[03:35] <tomodachi> mrpinky: lemme check
[03:35] <_2> mrpinky admin
[03:35] <tomodachi> mrpinky: adm
[03:35] <_2> iirc adm was the old way  and admin is the new way
[03:35] <nickrud> tomodachi, admin :)
[03:35] <Out_Cold> yea adm
[03:36] <h4x0r> n2diy what i can tell you use ubuntu and the open source apps.  and you will forget about windows
[03:36] <jrib> tie-breaker: admin
[03:36] <_2> :)
[03:36] <tomodachi> _2: im using 8.10 , im in the group adm
[03:36] <nickrud> jrib, nah, you're just piling on the good side
[03:36] <jrib> tomodachi: but that's not why you can sudo
[03:36] <thief`> tomodachi, i play a lot of xvid / divx and they work great...
[03:36] <_2> tomodachi did you clean install or upgrade ?
[03:36] <n2diy> h4x0r: I forgot about Windows 7 years ago, this is for my buddy, and the question was, how to do a bare metal install?
[03:36] <tomodachi> jrib: yes it is
[03:36] <thief`> tomodachi, do you mean screwy ones like mkv and ogg and crap?
[03:37] <mrpinky> how do i find out what my ubuntu version is? the about box doesn't appear to have it :(
[03:37] <jrib> tomodachi: read your /etc/sudoers
[03:37] <tomodachi> jrib: the adm group is in the sudoers file
[03:37] <ardchoille> !version
[03:37] <InevGlitch> Quick question:, In general, can I expect more hardware to work better with 8.04 than with 8.10 ?
[03:37] <nickrud> tomodachi, you shouldn't argue with jrib, he actually does development in ubuntu
[03:37] <_2> tomodachi but did you clean install or upgrade ?
[03:37] <h4x0r> google it! you will find a nice tutorial
[03:37] <tomodachi> jrib: its called %admin in the sudoers file, i guess thats a variable or something not the exact name
[03:37] <tomodachi> _2: clean install
[03:37] <daniellopes> Hi
[03:37] <TheEdge_> thief: libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device. is the error i get when i start a dvd
[03:37] <Natali> hi
[03:37] <nathanhelp> Winxp cannot access ext3 filesystems correct?
 jrib: its called %admin in the sudoers file  <<<<  see i told you so
[03:37] <jrib> tomodachi: it really is admin, that's the name of the group
[03:37] <tomodachi> nickrud: im not arguing im stating facts
[03:38] <n2diy> h4x0r: thanks for the pointer.
[03:38] <h4x0r> if am not wrong even in youtube is a tutorial
[03:38] <nathanhelp> *without problems.
[03:38] <thief`> n2diy, there are tons of guides on dual boot.   http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=dual+boot+ubuntu+windows
[03:38] <nickrud> tomodachi, ok, you can do a test for yourself. Create two users, add one to the adm group the other to the admin. See which can sudo
[03:38] <Ahadiel> My friend just updated his Intrepid install and now there's no ubuntu kernels in grub. Is there a way to fix this from the livecd?
[03:38] <Ahadiel> listed in grub*
[03:38] <_2> tomodachi sudo test command.   sudo echo boo
[03:38] <tomodachi> _2: u guys probably right
[03:38] <n2diy> thief`: I don't need a guide on dual boot, I need a guide on bare metal installing.
[03:38] <thief`> Ahadiel, edit the menu.ls file... it's easy. and it's normal.
[03:39] <tomodachi> cant bother to check thnx for having the patience to correct me
[03:39] <h4x0r> does somebody try the new beta from ubuntu?
[03:39] <Ahadiel> thief`, How is that normal?
[03:39] <jrib> !jaunty | h4x0r
[03:39] <thief`> n2diy, ok... what do you mean on bare metal installing? like linux from scratch?
[03:39] <Out_Cold> haha nickrud good test lol
[03:39] <thief`> Ahadiel, hah, sorry, i read that wrong.
[03:39] <thief`> you can edit the grub file though..
[03:39] <h4x0r> ubottu i was just asking. why i cant ask?
[03:39] <nickrud> Out_Cold, I've lost track of the tests like that I've created for myself, before I found irc to waste time on and occasionally get a question answered ;)
[03:40] <Ahadiel> thief`, Well yeah... but what exactly do I put in it?
[03:40] <n2diy> thief`: Sorta, start with an infected Win box, wipe the drive, MBR, etc..., and reinstall Win then Ubuntu.
[03:40] <Out_Cold> yea... i waste more time just chatting in here than i do figuring out my system
[03:40] <thief`> n2diy, that's what i thought. it's easy (BUT do windows install first) a MUST. (for easiness.)
[03:40] <h4x0r> knowledge is to share, not to keep it, third rule in the black book
[03:40] <_2> tomodachi to explain a little more clearly,  if not specified earlier in /etc/sudoers as a "symbol"  then anything appearing as  %blah is a dirrect referance to the group by said name "blah" in my example.
[03:40] <therootest> i managed to install the compiz fusion cube BUT there are only 2 sides on the cube. How can i make it 4 sided?
[03:41] <thief`> really, google it, it's everywehere. and it's a lot easier than you think.
[03:41] <MTecknology> I'm trying to install something. I altered the configs and tried to wipe it off my system so I could do a clean install of the package but it doesn't restore configs.... Any ideas how I can do it?
[03:41] <Pici> h4x0r: This is not the channel to discuss Jaunty, please join #ubuntu+1 instead.
[03:41] <nickrud> therootest, right click the desktop switcher, lower right corner and change the number
[03:41] <TheEdge_> thief: libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device. is the error i get when i start a dvd
[03:41] <Out_Cold> h4x0r, ubottu is a bot.... it's just responding to the ! commands. as for off topic stuff some ops are pretty anal about it..
[03:41] <nickrud> therootest, change the number of columns
[03:41] <h4x0r> pici i dont want to discuss jaunty i was just asking
[03:42] <h4x0r> thats all
[03:42] <n2diy> thief`: roger on the Win first, what do I wipe the drive with, gpartd? Will that wipe out the MBR?
[03:42] <thief`> Ahadiel, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:42] <a_user> no sound on ubuntu 8.04, 2.6.24-23-generic 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
[03:42] <a_user> any thoughts?
[03:42] <Ahadiel> thief`, I didn't ask how to edit it...
[03:42] <thief`> n2diy, use the ubuntu live cd to wipe it if you like heheh, anything can.
[03:42] <user_2> Hi, I'm using VirtualBox, with a Ubuntu Client which has a ROR website. I'd like to be able to access that site from the host. I think I need to setup a port forwarding?? Can someone help me with this?
[03:42] <thief`> n2diy, death, is death, kill however ye want.
[03:42] <nickrud> !sound | a_user you can start here
[03:43] <n2diy> thief`: ok, so gpartd is the tool to use?
[03:43] <thief`> Ahadiel, msg.
[03:43] <mrpinky> hey, adding myself to "adm" allows me to use sudo again. yay. however, "id" does not appear to show my true group memberships, it did not change when i added myself to "adm" (or anything else). is it cached somewhere...?
[03:43] <Ahadiel> thief`, What?
[03:44] <therootest> nickrud: sorry but i couldnt find how to add columns.
[03:44] <a_user> ha
[03:44] <KDB9000> does anyone know if it is possible to change the mirrors in the Ubuntu Mini ISO? I have been trying to install all day today and it is crawling and having problems downloading some of the packages. Even on my Fiber connection (10 MB up and down).
[03:44] <a_user> sound was turned down
[03:44] <nickrud> therootest, it's under preferences
[03:44] <a_user> toshiba laptops and their wheels
[03:44] <therootest> nickrud: under preferences where?
[03:45] <nathanhelp> is it safe/secure to have ports 80 and 23 open?
[03:45] <Ahadiel> Is there a command to regenerate kernel images in /boot as well as menu.lst?
[03:45] <Steven_M> !mirrors
[03:45] <kindofabuzz> you only need 80 open if you're hosting a site or something like that
[03:45] <_2> nathanhelp of course not.
[03:45] <thief`> n2diy, Ahadiel maybe both could benefit from this: i had to fix my boot sector once (windows attacked it) - i forget what i did exactly, but i google and read.... use a live ubuntu cd and you can use it to fix grub / booting.
[03:45] <mrpinky> hmm "usermod -g admin nbingham" doesn't appear to change my GID. after the command, "id" still shows "gid=1000(nbingham)" not "gid=XXXX(admin)"?
[03:46] <therootest> nickrud: you mean somewhere in the ccsm?
[03:46] <Ahadiel> thief`, That doesn't really help much.
[03:46] <Ahadiel> thief`, But thanks.
[03:46] <thief`> Ahadiel, it might.
[03:46] <jrib> mrpinky: why do you want to change your gid?
[03:46] <n2diy> thief`: roger roger
[03:46] <nickrud> therootest, ok, go this route: compizconfig settings manager, general button, desktop size tab. Change horizontal size
[03:46] <_2> Ahadiel apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-`uname -r`    ?
[03:46] <prime> hello everyone
[03:46] <thief`> n2diy, use gparted to wipe yoru drive and make it in two partitions.
[03:46] <Delvien> !hello | prime
[03:46] <mrpinky> jrgp, because it's currently nbingham and i think it should be admin, right?
[03:46] <Ahadiel> _2, Hrm, that just might work. Thanks!
[03:47] <thief`> !hello | thief`
[03:47] <jrib> mrpinky: no, it's as it should be
[03:47] <IndyGunFreak> Ahadiel: why did you delete the images?'
[03:47] <prime> i am now using linux4one in my acer aspire one
[03:47] <user_2> Hi, I'm using VirtualBox, with a Ubuntu Client which has a ROR website. I'd like to be able to access that site from the host. I think I need to setup a port forwarding on the ubuntu client?? Can someone help me with this?
[03:47] <CyBurnett> how do I open a Terminal when I dont have any panels or icons?
[03:47] <laughyn1nj4> !privatemessage | thief`
[03:47] <n2diy> thief`: ok, what about /swap and /home?
[03:47] <Delvien> CyBurnett: can you Alt F2?
[03:47] <Ahadiel> IndyGunFreak, I didn't. I was updating my friend's intrepid box and he claims there's only "memtest" on the grub menu.
[03:47] <prime> how can I fix my volume with vlc?
[03:47] <mrpinky> jrib, cool thanks :)
[03:47] <jrib> mrpinky: you need to log out and log back in for group additions to take place.  Use 'adduser USER GROUP' to add the user USER to the group GROUP by the way
[03:47] <_2> CyberSix use a console ?
[03:47] <h4x0r> ubottu > yesterday I was here and i told somebody that you can not run 32 bit in a 64 bit processor, and somebody told me i was wrong. i was not talking about an application that you can do it, do i am right?
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> Ahadiel: then if thats the case, i would try using a live CD to reinstall grub, as suggested, something went haywire
[03:48] <thief`> that bot doesn't like it when i say hello to me.
[03:48] <thief`> haha
[03:48] <mrpinky> jrib cool, i accidentally deleted all my group memberships using -G without -a :( do you have a default list of group memberships i can use?
[03:48] <thief`> n2diy, how big is yer HD?
[03:48] <Ahadiel> IndyGunFreak, Okay, will do.
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> !grub | Ahadiel instructions to reinstall grub are here
[03:49] <jrib> mrpinky: no, but you can use System -> Administration -> Users and groups
[03:49] <n2diy> thief`: not sure, but probably 100+ gig
[03:49] <_2> h4x0r you can install either 32 or 64 bit os into a system that supports 64 bit    you can not install 64 bit os into a system that only supports 32 bit
[03:49] <therootest> nickrud: sorry, but because my ubuntu is in greek... which is the general button? the one down at the left?
[03:49] <mrpinky> jrib, great, thanks! :)
[03:49] <enao1290> Hey guys, quick question; i have a PHP script running on a cron job every 15 minutes
[03:49] <h4x0r> _2 thank you i know i was right
[03:49] <foxwoods> hi, does anyone know how to get rid of the grey outlines in firefox?
[03:50] <prime> bye

[03:50] <nickrud> therootest, on my ccsm, it's the one at the top all by itself
[03:50] <enao1290> i'm a total sysadmin noob
[03:50] <therootest> nickrud: oh! i found it! i changed to 2 vertical and 2 horizontal but... no cube on my desktop :(
[03:50] <_2> h4x0r it was not a question of you being right or wrong, it was a question of clear communication.
[03:51] <nickrud> therootest, change the horizontal to 4, and vertical to 1
[03:52] <kazekagi> Anyone Know alot about getting Video quality Better on Ubuntu?
[03:52] <jigp> hello guys is there any web development tools for ubuntu 8.04? (free web developer tools) like for example dreamweaver in windows.
[03:52] <laughyn1nj4> darn...i keep trying but i still get the grub blues
[03:52] <thief`> n2diy, make your /home be 30 gigs, your / 10 gigs and leave the rest for xpooh
[03:52] <laughyn1nj4> i'm just going to re-install...
[03:52] <therootest> nickrud: omg! it works! but now, how can i make the cube a little smaller so i can see all of it?

[03:52] <h4x0r> i have some computers and one of them have a 64x amd (969) processor and dont accept the 32 bit "i386" on that system
[03:52] <_2> thief` only 30g for home ???   O.o
[03:52] <nickrud> therootest, that's the zoom under the cube settings, iirc. Or, hold down the middle button and move the mouse? Been a while since I used the cube
[03:53] <thief`> _2, who cares, you can change it later, or add another hd.
[03:53] <Out_Cold> jigp, whats your video card now?
[03:53] <nickrud> therootest, #compiz-fusion has all the really cool effects
[03:53] <thief`> n2diy, it's not a big deal  - the sizes right now... you can edit them later.
[03:53] <h4x0r> intel run perfect i386 and amd run perfet 64 bit i586
[03:53] <gerber> help with 1710 dell laser printer
[03:53] <_2> thief` "who cares"   user cares in most cases.
[03:53] <n2diy> thief`: 10-4 on the Xpooh! :)
[03:53] <Out_Cold> my 64 bit won't load a 64 OS
[03:53] <thief`> read a coulpe lines above.

[03:56] <_2> linux has always been "easy". the dificulty has been "having to unlearn M$ in order to learn linux"
[03:56] <therootest> Out_Cold: im on a laptop without mouse :)
[03:56] <kazekagi> Foxwoods: Well its a several part problem. I can run the AVI files ok, But the quality is all grainy and lines appear on the picture. Been looking all over on the net, tried several solutions, but none seem too work. Same problem in totem,VLC, kaffein
[03:56] <Out_Cold> therootest, press both buttons to act as the third button
[03:56] <h4x0r> you are 100% right
[03:56] <therootest> Out_Cold: doesnt work
[03:56] <TheEdge_> could some one look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/111537/   and tell what i have to do
[03:57] <Out_Cold> ctrl + alt + left?
[03:57] <laughyn1nj4> well yes i am.  anyone ever do any virtualization with Xen?  that sound like a tasty project!

[03:58] <_2> jigp quanta
[03:58] <Out_Cold> well Kompozer is a WYSIWYG program..
[03:58] <gaintsura> when I'm working with a bash script, $1 is considered a variable right?
[03:59] <laughyn1nj4> giantsura: yes
[03:59] <_VIM_> was Kompozer ever fixed or does it still crash when you use a menu?
[03:59] <foxwoods> kazekagi: then it's most likely your video card driver
[03:59] <gaintsura> thanks laughyn1nj4
[03:59] <Steven_M> where can I found repo mirrors?
[03:59] <laughyn1nj4> 'twas nothin.
[03:59] <foxwoods> kazekagi: what video card, and do you know what you are using as your driver?
[03:59] <Steven_M> *find
[04:00] <tonyyarusso> _VIM_: I haven't yet packaged the alpha version - theoretically we'll have a final of the new one that I can put in a PPA / backports soon.
[04:00] <kazekagi> darnit. running a Ati 4870x2 card. installed latest driver from thhe site
[04:00] <_VIM_> tonyyarusso: you're a Kompozer dev?

[04:00] <user_2> Hi, I'm using VirtualBox, with a Ubuntu Client which has a ROR website. I'd like to be able to access that site from the host. I think I need to setup a port forwarding on the ubuntu client?? Can someone help me with this?

[04:05] <foxwoods> _VIM_: I did change to my favourite theme, which fixed the tabs
[04:05] <randal> _2: whats that
[04:05] <h4x0r> you can install gparted from you add and removes

[04:17] <_2> os11 sshing into a dynamic ip ?
[04:17] <foxwoods> kazekagi_: try the fixes discussed here: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/VideoPlayback
[04:18] <foxwoods> kazekagi_: let me know how it works out.
[04:19] <_2> os11 the fact that the address has changed is cause for concern if you use static ip's but not for dynamic ip's as far as i know.    someone can correct me if ssh uses mac addresses rather than ip addressing
[04:19] <os11> i can connect it at home
[04:19] <os11> but i am outside now
[04:19] <kazekagi_> Fantastic Foxwoods.. Worked like a charm.. still abit grainy, but nothing i cant live with:D Thx a lot!
[04:20] <os11> so how to solve the problem?
[04:20] <Booge> ssh is a layer 3 protocol. it uses ip addresses
[04:20] <ravious> Anyone have any advice for how to manually configure the new xorg included with xubuntu 8.10? The xorg.conf seems not to be used to apply configurations anymore.
[04:20] <_2> os11 the message you pastebined says the hostkey changed  so if you can't login with password then you'll have to get the new hostkey
[04:21] <big-bro> can i stop the karaoke effect in skype or should i just use headphones
[04:21] <_2> err public key
[04:21] <X3S> When a friend of me wants to install ubuntu after formating He had an error
[04:21] <X3S> logical block
[04:21] <X3S> What does it mean ?
[04:21] <os11> i cant even goto the password
[04:21] <sn007ake> Guys they Had a site that would Inspect ur Vid settings and pick the best display driver Does ne 1 know this site off top ur head?
[04:21] <_2> "logical block" != "full error message"
[04:22] <X3S> so ?
[04:22] <gerber> who want to help me with remote desktop ?
[04:22] <_2> os11 that indicates that the ssh server is configured to allow only public/private key access
[04:23] <os11> _2, so what does it mean?
[04:23] <zumz> it means give more info
[04:24] <os11> ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>??
[04:24] <_2> os11 means you wont be able to access that system under the current conditions.  something will have to change.   1. you get the new public key   2. the server is reset to accept password ident  3. you find an exploit and gain access the hard way
[04:24] <foxwoods> kazekagi_: no problem
[04:24] <kazekagi_> :D
[04:24] <os11> how to get new public key?
[04:25] <werdnum> os11: ssh-keygen
[04:25] <_2> os11 from the server you are trying to access
[04:25] <foxwoods> ravious: what do you mean it's no longer used?
[04:25] <os11> i am not home now, my server is at home
[04:26] <_2> what i can't understand is why ~/ permission disables public key access  when ~/.ssh[.*] permission is unchanged.
[04:26] <ravious> The xorg.conf file on xubuntu 8.10 is no longer used to provide xorg server settings, its just a blank file.. But its using the default video driver rather than the i810 that it needs to use.. but i cant seem to find anyway to switch the driver sence the xorg.conf is an empty file
[04:26] <merrnt> My computer needed to reboot after installing some updates, and now I get an Error 15: File not found
[04:28] <ravious> and im not comfortable enough with the xorg.conf to rewrite it toatlly from scratch, i've always just edited it when i needed to make changes to it
[04:28] <JesperHansen> ravious: I just found the same problem
[04:28] <_2> ravious add the info to the xorg.conf  it still reads it,  just doesn't depend on it
[04:28] <foxwoods> ravious: where are you looking for xorg.conf.....cause it's definitely still in use
[04:28] <_2> JesperHansen ^ too
[04:28] <foxwoods> strange that it wasn't there
[04:28] <ravious> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:28] <usser> ravious, try Xorg -config
[04:28] <foxwoods> okay, good
[04:28] <usser> ravious, or Xorg -configure
[04:29] <usser> ravious, i forgot which, it'll create a basic setup in the current directory
[04:29] <ravious> usser: is that something that could be run from remote via ssh?
[04:29] <_2> usser that breaks xorg for me.   not sure it's good advice
[04:29] <usser> ravious, yes sure
[04:29] <foxwoods> ravious: if usser's suggestion doesn't work, exit the x-server and use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:29] <foxwoods> that should generate an xorg.conf which you can then configure if need be
[04:29] <syzygy> I know I should ask this in the alsa channel, but I already did...with no response
[04:29] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: leaves the file blank as well
[04:29] <usser> _2, i just did it, that was on a clean headless install though with xorg just installed
[04:30] <syzygy> http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-alsamixer/gnome-alsamixer_0.9.7~cvs.20060916.ds.1-2_amd64.deb can I dl this alsamixer...or do I have to have a special kernel first?
[04:30] <_2> usser i didn't say it breaks all xorg's   just that it does mine.
[04:30] <foxwoods> syzgy: you can download it and it should work fine as long as you have a amd64 processor
[04:30] <JesperHansen> man... I am really getting ready to drop ubuntu on all three machines and installing windows.
[04:31] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: dual boot
[04:31] <_2> usser i have tried it several times,  consistant breakage from Xorg --configure  and consistant fixage from  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:31] <BenSmith> Question for anyone.  Can I create a bootable usb startup disk in ubuntu of ubuntu 8.10 server?
[04:31] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: really, drop ubuntu. After 3 years its just screwed up.
[04:31] <foxwoods> ravious: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure yet?
[04:31] <_2> usser i don't know why.  i just know that's the results i get.
[04:32] <usser> _2, hm thats weird what videocard do you have?
[04:32] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: I dual boot, I just reinstalled kubuntu again so I could hopefully work on bringing kde4 to windows
[04:32] <_2> usser nvidia riva128
[04:32] <spill> anyone got any suggestion for laptop power managment in gnome to extend battery life, other than the default applet that is.?
[04:32] <khmer42> What's the easiest way to get terminial access tn another Ubuntu machine within your network?
[04:32] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: I'm a gamer, so having just ubuntu is not an option :P I still spend most of my time in windows
[04:32] <_2> usser also same on an ati lappy
[04:32] <foxwoods> khmer42: get it's ip / host address and use ssh
[04:33] <_2> usser also same on an ati lappy    err debian lenny  close relative to ubuntu 8.10
[04:33] <khmer42> foxwoods: thanks
[04:33] <foxwoods> khmer42: np
[04:33] <h4x0r> khmer42 wich way you want to communicate
[04:33] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: I went down in a store and actually bought windows vista for my gamer computer as I got pissed with the poor wine/cedega performance and low graphical details :P
[04:33] <spill> anyone got any suggestion for laptop power managment in gnome to extend battery life, other than the default applet that is.?
[04:33] <_2> usser the "official" ubuntu methood is to use dpkg-reconfigure  on it.    just an FYI
[04:34] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: no kidding....plus I'm also into 3d graphics, and running zbrush, 3ds max, etc. is not an option in linux yet
[04:34] <foxwoods> well, not unless I purchase their especial linux versions, which I'm in no way doing
[04:34] <randal> when will jaunty be released
[04:34] <gerber> who want to help me with remote desktop ?
[04:34] <khmer42> h4x0r: I just want the most simple way to get command line access, preferably with tools that exist within a standard install.
[04:34] <BenSmith> Question for anyone.  Can I create a bootable usb startup disk in ubuntu of ubuntu 8.10 server?
[04:35] <_2> BenSmith sure
[04:35] <randal> does any one know when the new ubuntu will be released jaunty
[04:35] <foxwoods> BenSmith:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick if you mean a usb key
[04:35] <gerber> who want to help me with remote desktop ?
[04:35] <h4x0r> is so many ways , from terminal or graphical,
[04:35] <foxwoods> BenSmith: if you mean a regular hard drive, what prevents you from using the regular server CD?
[04:35] <gerber> grafical
[04:35] <_2> BenSmith you can use any of several boot loaders for that  grub2 lilo grub syslinux (probably more)
[04:35] <merrnt> I'm getting an Error 15: File Not Found when I try to boot, how do I tell grub where to look for my boot partition?
[04:36] <h4x0r> ok
[04:36] <foxwoods> BenSmith: just as long as when you install, you specify the right device for grub to install to, it should work fine
[04:36] <khmer42> h4x0r: Terminal is what I'm looking for really. This is the problem there seems to be many ways, just looking for most straight forward to I don't need to mess around too much with each machine I will be remoting in to.
[04:36] <BenSmith> foxwoods: I'm sorry i'm extremely new at this.  Grub?
[04:37] <_2> merrnt grub prompt:  root (hd?,#)
[04:37] <spill> anyone got any suggestion for laptop power managment in gnome to extend battery life, other than the default applet that is.?
[04:37] <merrnt> just type that with the correct hd(0,1) ?
[04:37] <_2> merrnt use the tab key in the grub prompt
[04:37] <merrnt> Alrighty
[04:37] <foxwoods> BenSmith: I've never installed the server edition, but when you install ubuntu desktop, at the very end before the final install commit, there's an 'advanced' option
[04:37] <douglask> Question: i've found that by setting a couple iwconfig settings, my wireless connection is FAR more stable (rate auto and txpower auto), how do I store this to be used automatically in future?
[04:37] <_2> merrnt  syntax error  hd(0,1)
[04:38] <_2> merrnt (hd0,1)
[04:38] <merrnt> k
[04:38] <foxwoods> BenSmith: if you click that, you'll see it asks which device to install grub to (grub is the program that boots your linux kernel)
[04:38] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: I am having a strange problem. When I move slowly with my mouse, then it lags. It doesn't move before I have moved with it with 10px on the screen. If I move it fast, then it still moves with 10px, but faster so I cant see it lags... glxgear is still 600fps, so its not OS lag, but only mouse lag. Heavily.
[04:38] <merrnt> giving it a shot, thanks _2 !
[04:38] <CoJaBo-Aztec> What all should I check to find out why ssh and apache can't be reached from the internet? Seems Ubuntu has something called AppArmor, could that be doing it and how would I check?
[04:39] <foxwoods> BenSmith: do a fdisk -l in a terminal window to see which drive is the one you want to install to, then type that (i.e. /dev/sdb) into that device to install to box
[04:39] <khmer42> h4x0r: ssh is cool, but don't I need to install openssh-server on each machine?
[04:39] <foxwoods> BenSmith: Note: Since I haven't worked with ubuntu server, this is all at your own risk......
[04:39] <_2> khmer42 or "ssh" which is a meta package that depends on both server and client
[04:39] <douglask> khmer42, only on the machine(s) you are connecting to.
[04:39] <BenSmith> foxwoods: awesome. Thanks
[04:40] <Lucifer_Cat> Question: Has anyone here tried/knows something specific about the Everex AMD gPC which comes with Ubuntu preloaded?  Is it a good deal for 200, or is it something best avoided?
[04:40] <evilGUI> hello I'm trying to setup cron to run a script every 2 hours 3 minutes can someone tell me if this is right? */123 * * * * /home/user/ perl e.pl -u -p -d
[04:40] <_2> khmer42 and yes   all boxen in a dmz should have package "ssh" installed  imo
[04:40] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: I'm on kubuntu (installing ubuntu-desktop as we speak.....) but you should be able to go into your system settings and the mouse section should have some options like pointer acceleration
[04:40] <foxwoods> try increasing that
[04:41] <_2> evilGUI not for /etc/crontab  maybe for anacron personal crontabs.
[04:42] <evilGUI> I used crontab -e
[04:42] <_2> evilGUI the /home/user/ would fail   unless i'm missing something
[04:42] <spill> anyone got any suggestion for laptop power managment in gnome to extend battery life, other than the default applet that is.?
[04:43] <evilGUI> _2: It would fail becuase it's not my real user right?
[04:43] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: it decreased the lag to 5px on the lowest possible setting :P
[04:43] <h4x0r> spill the default is the best .
[04:44] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: lowest possible setting? shouldn't you try getting it to the highest setting? also what mouse is this?
[04:44] <BenSmith> foxwoods: I'm reading the directions from the link you provided.  I can't find the device name it was assigned.
[04:44] <spill> h4x0r: what about cpu throttling?
[04:44] <douglask> anyone know how to save iwconfig settings?
[04:45] <_2> evilGUI no because it's not any user. it's a path
[04:45] <foxwoods> BenSmith: which part of those instructions are you following, manual?
[04:45] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: I am actually on xubuntu
[04:45] <_2> evilGUI i.e.  rather than  /home/user/  just plain   user
[04:45] <bbs> is jaunty the next version
[04:45] <blizzardman1219\> hi, i need help mounting a usb drive via bash. i have no gui to use. when i use the command 'mount -t vfat -o /dev/sdf /mnt/usb' it tells me that /dev/sdf doesn't have a valid FAT file system, but i've even reformatted it to make sure that it's FAT
[04:45] <_2> bbs yes
[04:45] <bbs> i'm a gentoo user
[04:45] <bbs> and just jumping to ubuntu now
[04:46] <bbs> because i have too much work to fsck around anymore
[04:46] <bbs> programming wise
[04:46] <bbs> _2: ok -- is that rolling release?
[04:46] <Lucifer_Cat> Anyone?
[04:46] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: acceleration is slow and threshold is low. Anywhere higher makes the lag between mouse updates even higher
[04:46] <_2> bbs then i would reccomend either an LTS version of ubuntu or debian.
[04:46] <bbs> _2: LTS
[04:46] <bbs> i'm a programmer mind you
[04:46] <_2> bbs long term support
[04:46] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: acceleration higher increases lag?
[04:47] <bbs> _2: no i don't need that
[04:47] <usser> blizzardman1219\, you dont usually mount the entire disk, which seems from your command is what you're trying to do
[04:47] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: and what mouse is this?
[04:47] <bbs> _2: i need up to date -- and programming tools
[04:47] <bbs> not debian sarge
[04:47] <_2> bbs then why leave gentoo if you have the time to upgrade all the time
[04:47] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: laptop mouse
[04:47] <usser> blizzardman1219\, sdf must have partitions on it, like sdf1 or sdf2
[04:47] <bbs> _2: i don't have time
[04:47] <bbs> to compile shit
[04:47] <gerber> why i can see my other
[04:47] <_2> bbs well   ubuntu intrepid is the current release
[04:47] <foxwoods> bbs: please don't use enter's for punctuation
[04:48] <BenSmith> "A few seconds after plugging in the USB stick run the dmesg command or sudo fdisk -l to find the device name it was assigned."
[04:48] <foxwoods> BenSmith: and.....what's the output?
[04:48] <blizzardman1219\> usser: well the rest of my drive is /dev/sda, this is strictly the USB drive, it is assigned the name /dev/sdf
[04:48] <_2> !release > bbs
[04:48] <gerber> i have 8.10 ubuntu  "samba" is ready to go ?
[04:49] <BenSmith> Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device

[04:49] <WIGGMPk> I installed updates last night but it fails when trying to configure the kernel (intrepid), can anyone please take a look and help?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111158/
[04:50] <_2> bbs must be desynced
[04:50] <_2> maybe i'm desynced.
[04:51] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:51] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: the mouse moves perfectly if I plug in a usb mouse (logitech G5)
[04:51] <BenSmith> foxwoods:http://paste.ubuntu.com/111554/
[04:51] <WIGGMPk> foxwoods: thanks, I will try that as soon as the new updates finish
[04:51] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: but the mouse pad moves laggy
[04:51] <JesperHansen> hmm
[04:52] <foxwoods> JesperHansen:hrm...........no clue then
[04:52] <Tiblet> Hi. After the updates I installed today, I have no sound coming from any of the jacks on my sound card (Creative Audigy 2 ZS). The front headphone jack works, however. I searched around the mixer looking for something that was muted and came up empty handed. I'm running 8.10, ALSA drivers (pulse doesn't change anything). Anyone have a similar issue and could point me in the direction of a fix? Thanks! :)
[04:52] <blizzardman1219\> usser: it has no partitons
[04:53] <foxwoods> BenSmith: Did you type "sudo fdisk -l"?
[04:53] <usser> blizzardman1219\, the its unpartitioned
[04:53] <usser> *then
[04:53] <j-b-r> *grunt* I can't install stupid nvidia drivers
[04:53] <usser> blizzardman1219\, if fdisk doesnt show any
[04:53] <BenSmith> foxwoods: no. thought that was a "/"
[04:53] <j-b-r> I'm trying everything.
[04:53] <usser> j-b-r, its easy really
[04:53] <foxwoods> j-b-r: what's going wrong?
[04:53] <j-b-r> Everything
[04:54] <j-b-r> First of all
[04:54] <Tiblet> j-b-r: Tried System>Administration>Hardware Drivers?
[04:54] <j-b-r> They're not there
[04:54] <foxwoods> j-b-r: if you want help, everything doesn't help
[04:54] <_2> blizzardman1219\ i'm sorry i just noticed your "unpartitioned"  statement,  may i inquire what we are doing ?
[04:54] <usser> j-b-r, are u isntalling from nividia.com
[04:54] <j-b-r> I tried that, yes
[04:54] <Finnish> I'm installing latest Kino, I need to address ./configure to my SVN-FFMpeg, how do I do that?
[04:54] <j-b-r> But it said that it couldn't compile the kernel modules
[04:54] <j-b-r> I tried envyng
[04:54] <j-b-r> And it said it worked
[04:54] <foxwoods> j-b-r: you need to uninstall ALL previous nvidia drivers
[04:54] <j-b-r> but on boot, it failed to load
[04:54] <blizzardman1219\> _2: i'm trying to mount a usb drive, i have no GUI installed
[04:54] <BenSmith> http://paste.ubuntu.com/111555/
[04:55] <usser> j-b-r, what model do you have? what does lspci | grep VGA say? did u see this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[04:55] <BenSmith> foxwoods:http://paste.ubuntu.com/111555/
[04:55] <foxwoods> j-b-r: go sudo apt-get remove nvidia and tab
[04:55] <foxwoods> j-b-r: remove everything you can
[04:55] <vigo> j-b-r: listen to foxwoods
[04:55] <_2> blizzardman1219\ i personally use unpartitiioned hdd's   but fine it frustrating to have to explain that to everyone...    just mount the device   i.e.  sudo mount /dev/sdc /mnt
[04:55] <foxwoods> j-b-r: then run the nvidia file
[04:55] <_2> s=fine=find=
[04:55] <xyz> join ##javascript
[04:55] <j-b-r> I guess I'll have to purge everything I've done

[04:56] <blizzardman1219\> _2: it says "no media found'
[04:56] <WIGGMPk> foxwoods: where are the packages? /var/cache? something like that?
[04:56] <j-b-r> It was on a fresh install, though
[04:56] <foxwoods> BenSmith: so it looks like /dev/sdb is your FAT32 flash disk
[04:56] <_2> blizzardman1219\ did you specify the correct device ?   sdc is example only
[04:56] <BenSmith> foxwoods: ok thanks
[04:56] <hendershot> hey guys and girls im trying out new themes for kubuntu and i wanted to know if there was any xp themes avaliable
[04:57] <_2> blizzardman1219\  grep ' sd' /proc/partitions  should help
[04:57] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: amount of data from /dev/input/mouse2 (G5 mouse) is massive compared to /dev/input/mouse1 (mousepad) hmm
[04:57] <foxwoods> BenSmith: so when you get to that final do you want to install page (if it goes there on a server install), click on advanced and set the grub to install on /dev/sdb
[04:57] <blizzardman1219\> _2: when i specify it as what i thought it was, it says that i must give a file system, when i give it vfat it says that there is no valid FAT file system there
[04:57] <nookbot> * version nokbot
[04:57] <foxwoods> BenSmith: also make sure that you install your root directory on /dev/sdb
[04:57] <_2> blizzardman1219\ or dmesg | tail
[04:58] <BenSmith> foxwoods: According to the next directions shouldn't it be /dev/sdb1?

[04:58] <saranya> any one know how to update a software through terminal

[04:59] <vigo> saranya: oh ok, Thank you CarlFK
[04:59] <_2> CarlFK heh  there isnt' one
[04:59] <CarlFK> I used the rm command, not the gnome delete
[04:59] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: if you installed through apt-get, using auto-complete (tab) with "sudo apt-get remove nvidia" should list all the packages you might need to uninstall
[04:59] <brylie> My card readers on an Acer AspireOne are not automatically mounting. How do I A) mount a card to transfer data OR B) set up the readers so that they automatically mount?
[05:00] <_2> CarlFK say good by to what ever it was.
[05:00] <WIGGMPk> foxwoods: i think maybe wrong person
[05:00] <hendershot> hey guys and girls im trying out new themes for kubuntu and i wanted to know if there was any xp themes avaliable
[05:00] <CarlFK> _2: na, there are a few un deleteters
[05:00] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: sorry, you're right, wrong person
[05:00] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: try just typing in a console, anywhere sudo dpkg --configure -a
[05:00] <CarlFK> _2 apt-cache search undelete shows me 2 for ext2
[05:00] <_2> CarlFK is it ext2 ?
[05:01] <vigo> hendershot: use Wine or whatever Ubuntu supports now
[05:01] <_2> CarlFK how many for your fs format ?
[05:01] <hendershot> wine?
[05:01] <WIGGMPk> foxwoods: yea.. its a no go, also tried, "sudo dpkg --configure --pending" "sudo apt-get -f install"
[05:01] <hendershot> does that work with kde
[05:01] <vigo> !wine
[05:01] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: The only difference between when it wasn't lagging was the default xubuntu installation and I'm having the 2.6.28-6 kernel instead of 2.6.27 kernel to get ext4 for solidstate harddrive :p
[05:01] <saranya> i install ruby but an error message comes like this E:unable to fetch some archives, may be run apt-get update or  try with --fix-missing? how to use this
[05:02] <Tiblet> Trying to figure out how to make the rear jacks on a Creative Audigy 2ZS card work again. Using ALSA drivers, broke today after an update. Headphones up front work, anyone with any ideas on how to fix this would be helpful. Thanks

[05:02] <foxwoods> BenSmith: sorry, I redirected you to the wrong wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[05:02] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: sorry, not sure then
[05:02] <_2> !undelete > CarlFK
[05:02] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: probably a diff between the kernels
[05:03] <hendershot> tahnk
[05:03] <BenSmith> Foxwoods: Not a problem.  Thanks for the link
[05:03] <saranya> any one know what is the problem here:install ruby but an error message comes like this E:unable to fetch some archives, may be run apt-get update or  try with --fix-missing? how to use this
[05:03] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: maybe........try compiling your own kernel ?? :P
[05:03] <jheizer> Anyone here any good with PXE booting?
[05:04] <foxwoods> saranya: did you type sudo apt-get install ruby (and tabbing with auto-complete to make sure that you're installing a real package?)
[05:04] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: even tried. Laggy as well. But I am looking at the mouse module. Cant determine the right module tho.
[05:04] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: yeah, I wouldn't know which it would be, but two possibilities to fix: one is to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in case that somehow screwed up your mouse
[05:04] <Mean_Admin> saranya: did you also sudo apt-get update ?
[05:04]  * _2 worries about infonodes that explain how to recover data like this "methods that might work is some cases are described at at"  <<< "methoods" plural, "is" singular, "at at" duplicated without cause....
[05:05] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: other possibility: see if you can find the default mouse module for your previous kernel
[05:05] <HellB0y> ¾È³çÇÏ¼¼¿ä^^*
[05:05]  * _2 also notes that "is" was a typo for "in" in the origenal.
[05:05] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: or if you still have that old kernel, you can boot into it and try an lsmod
[05:05] <saranya> foxwoods: My system is connected in Internet so it take all the packages from that I think
[05:05] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: maybe. I see that uhci_hcd is the usb mouse.
[05:05] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: the old kernel is unavailable
[05:06] <BenSmith> foxwoods:  I just used System>Administration>Create a USB Startup Disk
[05:06] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: not ext4 supported :)
[05:06] <Mean_Admin> saranya: yeah but the thing that lists the packages needs to update itself fro mtime to time
[05:06] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: you should still be able to install it, no?
[05:06] <sektor1952> Morning
[05:06] <pro1ove> xp in my Vbox cannot connect to the internet
[05:06] <foxwoods> BenSmith: did it work?
[05:06] <os11> http://paste.ubuntu.com/111557/, what do i do now?
[05:06] <_2> Mean_Admin sudo apt-get update
[05:06] <ghostdog21> Hey. Out there anybody which can help me? I need to get on my USB-HDD but after xp sp2 had made chkdsk while booting one folder on this harddisk wasn't shown anymore, so i tried to use my "rescue system" ubuntu, and i found the folder renamed into found.001 or something like - i cut and pste some files into another new folder and checked under win if i can use this. that worked - so i had decided to rescue the other files same
[05:06] <ghostdog21> (05:00:20) ghostdog21: ps: sorry 4 disturbing
[05:06]  * foxwoods also notes that origenal is misspelt
[05:06] <Mean_Admin> _2: no, I know, I'm telling saranya
[05:06] <sektor1952> I am trying to connect ot my x server via xdmcp I get the login box and I login, but I don't see anything after
[05:07] <sektor1952> any suggestions?
[05:07] <Mean_Admin> _2: but thanks :)
[05:07] <BenSmith> foxwoods: Its copying files right now. I guess Il find out
[05:07] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: the kernel is installed yes, but I cannot load the old kernel because it lags ext4 support
[05:07] <Mean_Admin> JesperHansen: ext4 should be semi-retrocompatible with ext3
[05:07] <foxwoods> Mean_Admin: he needs it for SSD
[05:08] <WIGGMPk> I installed updates last night but it fails when trying to configure the kernel (intrepid), can anyone please take a look and help?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111158/
[05:08] <_2> ghostdog21 thanks for the trolling.   glad to hear it worked for you.
[05:08] <RediXe> Is there a way to run a script when the network comes up? Not sure where to call the script from. Also, how can I keep network manager from over writing /etc/resolv.conf?
[05:08] <john_> how can I tell if my wireless in ubuntu is using b or g
[05:08] <Mean_Admin> foxwoods: ssd drives need ext4??
[05:09] <hendershot> anyone know of a vista theme
[05:09] <Tiblet> john_: If it's connecting at over 11Mbps, you're using g
[05:09] <_2> RediXe /etc/network/*.d/
[05:09] <JesperHansen> Mean_Admin: not when doing a conversion from ext3 to ext4 to make the extended attributes
[05:09] <john_> thanks tibet
[05:10] <vigo> hendershot: have you used Compiz?
[05:10] <Mean_Admin> JesperHansen: I don't get it but I'm tired so we'll leave it at that
[05:10] <JesperHansen> but I found the rmmod psmouse makes the mousepad stop
[05:10] <JesperHansen> modprobe psmouse doesn't make it work again tho. :P
[05:10] <hendershot> vigo: compiz what is that
[05:10] <vigo> ! compiz
[05:10] <_2> JesperHansen it will when x is reset
[05:10] <blizzardman1219\> how do i install .deb packages in bash?
[05:11] <_2> blizzardman1219\ apt-get
[05:11] <john_> Tiblet the one thing is that Iam sitting across the room and sometimes I have only half of signal
[05:11] <BenSmith> Foxwoods: It worked.  Ill have to try it out later.  Thanks for your help. and the amazing links
[05:11] <_2> !dpkg > blizzardman1219\
[05:11] <hendershot> 10] <vigo> ! compiz
[05:11] <hendershot> [05:11] <hendershot> [00:10] <_2> JesperHansen it will when x is reset
[05:11] <FloodBot1> hendershot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:11] <vigo> hendershot: compiz is like a 3d effects doohicky
[05:11] <hendershot> vigo: thatnks
[05:11] <hendershot> ok

[05:12] <hellhound_> my graphic card worked fine with 8.04 but not after I upgraded.... if I boot into recovery mode, i can get a command prompt... how can I try another graphics driver version?
[05:12] <hellhound_> I just installed 8.10 and I installed the NVIDIA graphic driver version 177 and after I restarted the machine will not boot.  It stops at "Checking battery state"  I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT.  Can anyone help me?
[05:12] <Tiblet> john_: I don't actually know how to check. I don't use wireless. The only bit I could offer to you is that if you're connecting at over 11Mbps it's using g. Sorry :-\
[05:12] <JesperHansen> _2: will you look at that, it just started working a minute after doing modprobe psmouse
[05:12] <hendershot> vigo do you know the command to get compiz?
[05:13] <john_> ok thanks Tiblet

[05:13] <john_> I know I am over 11mbps

[05:13] <broomhandle> what's a good alternative for anjuta for c++ compiling
[05:13] <webbi> hello

[05:14] <hendershot> hello webbi
[05:14] <vigo> henderson: I would guess, sudo apt-get compiz,,,but I might be right,,,or wrong,,it is in the Synaptic packages manager
[05:14] <webbi> how can i disable for a while the automount utility?
[05:14] <Tiblet> john_: Then you're definitely running 802.11g. 802.11b does not go over 11.
[05:14] <hendershot> vigo: thanks
[05:15] <_2> webbi i hope someone answers that, i want to know too.

[05:16] <saranya> how to extract a zip file in terminal
[05:16] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: But I found some info about the touchpad. "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" along with a few bug reports I'll look through
[05:16] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: then I don't know
[05:16] <shake001> saranyan try unzip
[05:16] <_2> saranya unzip file
[05:16] <saranya> what is the command
[05:16] <foxwoods> hellhound_:try booting in recovery mode
[05:16] <sektor1952> unzip
[05:17] <sektor1952> is the command
[05:17] <shake001> unzip file - unzips your zip file
[05:17] <phliver> ok question: why would this 'sudo rsync -ve ssh test phliver@scarface:/home/phliver/' try to log into scarface as root. sudo is needed because "test" is a file owned by root
[05:17] <foxwoods> then get to the terminal as root (one of the options)
[05:17] <_2> saranya sudo apt-get install unzip zip   # then you will have the command
[05:17] <foxwoods> hellhound_: then do a "sudo apt-get remove nvidia" and use auto-complete (tab) to see all the packages you can remove: remove ALL OF THEM
[05:17] <shake001> e.g. unzip test.zip @ saranya
[05:18] <foxwoods> hellhound_: then do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, you can follow most of the defaults there
[05:18] <azhar27> how to remove the latest kernel update
[05:18] <foxwoods> hellhound_: finally you should be able to boot, go to nvidia.com and get the latest driver, and run the file in there
[05:18] <foxwoods> hellhound_: then report back on how that worked.
[05:18] <_2> saranya also of note    zip != gzip    use gunzip on gzipped files
[05:19] <bobbyyu> Does Rhythmbox comes with MP3 Support?
[05:19] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/123775 this seems related since there's a "patch" that updates the touchpad specifically for the eeePC (which it is)
[05:19] <Flannel> !mp3 | bobbyyu
[05:19] <hellhound_> foxwoods: thank you i am trying now

[05:20] <vigo> So?
[05:20] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: good, that def seems related

[05:20] <_2> webbi see flannel   ^

[05:22] <vigo> phillip: read the MAN, if you do not know what the MAN is then read it again, welcome to Ubuntu-Linux Help /channel,,always make backup
[05:22] <_2> webbi i'm very  anti-automatic  in mindset

[05:28] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/297167 seems related
[05:28] <foxwoods> shake001: I don't know then, nothing should be overwriting your xorg.conf
[05:28] <ryanprior> macman: Yes, people have installed it.
[05:29] <ryanprior> macman: However, we recommend kvm for virtualization on Ubuntu.
[05:29] <foxwoods> hellhound_: how we doing with the dl from nvidia?
[05:29] <Tiblet> shake: maybe try enabling your root account and see if it works there?

[05:32] <foxwoods> hellhound_ WIGGMPk, how goes it so far
[05:33] <spill> anyone use dansguardian?
[05:33]  * foxwoods wonders why it got quiet all of a sudden
[05:33] <WIGGMPk> foxwoods: _2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111559/ (the dpkg --configure didnt work again, so i went with foxwoods)
[05:33] <WIGGMPk> spill: a few times at customers houses and at work
[05:33] <_2> foxwoods just enjoy the calm,  don't anticipate the storm.  :)))
[05:34] <spill> WIGGMPk: i'm looking for a way to lock it down so even sudo can't kill it, anythoughts?
[05:34] <WIGGMPk> spill: thats prolly not possible to lock out sudo
[05:34] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: try reinstalling grub
[05:34] <WIGGMPk> spill: just limit the sudo users and dont give your password out
[05:34] <hellhound_> foxwoods: ok i have downloaded and installed the matching nvidia driver... rebooting now
[05:35] <WIGGMPk> foxwoods: im using gfxboot
[05:35] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: that's your problem
[05:35] <_2> ah.
[05:35] <WIGGMPk> foxwoods: I knew it... sorry for neglecting that info
[05:35] <spill> WIGGMPk: is there a way to make a dansguardian group, so that accounts can still use sudo just not turn off dansguardian?
[05:35] <_2> WIGGMPk maybe sudo mv `which update-grub` . ;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[05:36] <foxwoods> WIGGMPk: unfortunately.....you'll probably have to roll your own kernel....if _2 can't help
[05:36] <WIGGMPk> _2: 'which update-grub' could you explain?
[05:36] <_2> WIGGMPk just copy paste it to the terminal
[05:36] <WIGGMPk> spill: you can make a group that can edit dansguardian yes.. but if they have access to sudo that whats stopping them from adding themselves to the group
[05:37] <tof> how can i uninstall all xfce from ubuntu ??
[05:37] <tof>  i install it from repo just for check it
[05:37] <WIGGMPk> _2: i love you
[05:37] <foxwoods> hellhound_: you just ran the file from the download, right? No errors, eh?
[05:37] <JesperHansen> tof: install the package xubuntu-desktop
[05:38] <WIGGMPk> _2: can you walk me thru what just happend with that? everything installed fine no errors
[05:38] <blizzardman1219\> ok ubuntu server keeps having a kernel panic when i do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" to get my internet connection up
[05:38] <_2> WIGGMPk   sudo mv `which update-grub` . ;sudo dpkg --configure -a  #  the which command will find the exact path to the update-grub script  the entire command will move the update-grub script out of your path into your pwd    surely the rest is self explainitory.
[05:38] <jtaji> tof: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[05:38] <spill> WIGGMPk: hmm. man I have accounts that I need to be able to admin, but not turn off dansguaridan.  theres no way aroudn that is there?
[05:38] <WIGGMPk> _2: that is awesome....
[05:38] <JesperHansen> blizzardman1219\: anything in that last dmesg?
[05:38] <blizzardman1219\> fresh boot all 3 times JesperHansen
[05:38] <_2> WIGGMPk welcome.
[05:39] <hellhound_> foxwoods: no errors on the install but on reboot it will not go to X it just sits at "checking battery state" from the boot up process
[05:39] <WIGGMPk> spill: virtual machine.. put the content filter or entire proxy on a seperate box
[05:39] <WIGGMPk> _2: thank you for the explanation as well.. I really appreciate it
[05:39] <spill> WIGGMPk: well, this is my laptop?
[05:39] <_2> WIGGMPk you should probably run   sudo apt-get install -f  # just to make sure the package database is sain.

[05:41] <WIGGMPk> _2: quick question while we are talking kernel's.. whats the best way to remove kernel images from /boot? will StartUP Manager do this by selecting "limit kernels"?
[05:41] <_2> foxwoods ffr   it's only a work-around, but moving the "update-grub" script out of the path will solve that error.   if they ever need it it's still where they put it.
[05:42] <Flannel> _2: why would you remove update-grub?
[05:42] <foxwoods> _2: that was a nice fix
[05:42] <foxwoods> Flannel: because WIGGMPk is using fgxboot
[05:42] <foxwoods> gfxboot*
[05:43] <_2> WIGGMPk best way "imo" is to use the package manager.  apt-get remove linux-image-$VERSION_HERE
[05:43] <wers> what are the advantages of networkmanager over wicd? i just installed wicd and I like the interface better
[05:43] <ryanprior> spill: If for some reason you really do need to work out this improbable setup, you probably don't want to give the user sudo -- instead, create a daemon that handles the needed administration tasks, and give them access to that.
[05:43] <Flannel> foxwoods: And he wants to not boot to a newer kernel? or what?
[05:44] <hellhound_> foxwoods: ok after restarting again I get the command prompt in normal mode chosen from grub.  The error I see is "kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/2a587f53-b29d-416b-8718-c4c2902134e7"      "kinit no resume image, doing normal boot..."
[05:44] <_2> Flannel because linux-image* uses update-grub in it's postinst script   but update-grub errors out and thus hangs dpkg out to dry.
[05:44] <jigp> hello how to install pdt-all-in-one-linux-gtk-2.0.0GA.tar.gz ?this is eclipse..
[05:44] <Flannel> _2: How does update-grub error?
[05:44] <indra> jihjor
[05:44] <X3S> Is necessary to install a firewall ?
[05:44] <X3S> when conected
[05:44] <_2> Flannel all i did was find a way to resolve the package management issue.
[05:44] <X3S> for security ?
[05:45] <genii> _2: Could always edit the post-install script
[05:45] <_2> Flannel exit code 19
[05:45] <_2> err
[05:45] <pjotr> jigp: sudo apt-get install eclipse
[05:45] <jigp> X3S : yes
[05:45] <_2> Flannel exit code 10
[05:45] <WIGGMPk> X3S: yes and no.. Ubuntu ships out of the box with no open ports
[05:45] <HelloNew> how to resolved dependencies for DeVeDe
[05:45] <WIGGMPk> X3S: if you host some services, than I would suggest a firewall
[05:45] <_2> genii would need done for each linux-image package
[05:45] <hellhound_> foxwoods: if I type startx i get "fatal server error" no screens found"
[05:45] <izinucs> HelloNew, install from the repos instead of compiling it.
[05:45] <Finnish> When I install a program, where does it install? I mean where the folder is?
[05:46] <X3S> WIGGMPk,  Host use ure ubuntu like a server ?
[05:46] <Tweak66> I love DeVeDe
[05:46] <_2> Finnish the download is to /var/cache/apt/archives/  the installation can be traced via this command:  dpkg -L $packagename
[05:47] <foxwoods> Flannel: given that grub isn't truly there, it's not surprising update-grub fails
[05:47] <genii> _2: Yes, this is true. And what about the LILO people etc? It should give an option of whether to update a bootloader it sees or knows about but otherwise not do anything auto
[05:47] <Flannel> foxwoods: Erm, what?
[05:47] <regeya> DeVeDe is nice.  I also like DVDStyler (mainly for putting home videos on DVD)
[05:47] <foxwoods> Flannel: similar problem here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/297167
[05:47] <blizzardman1219\> can someone help me get my wireless card working under ubuntu server?
[05:47] <Flannel> foxwoods: Are you using lilo instead?
[05:47] <foxwoods> hellhound_: please put in pastebin your xorg.conf file
[05:47] <WIGGMPk> X3S: yes, or like a teamspeak server for games or anything that will accept incoming connections
[05:47] <HelloNew> sudo apt-get install vcdimager ------- You will have to enable the component called 'universe' <---- what to DO?
[05:48] <Finnish> _2: Thanks for that, but I mean, is the actual Kino-folder there? Is there all the stuff that Kino holds?
[05:48] <HelloNew> sudo apt-get install vcdimager ------- You will have to enable the component called 'universe' <---- HOW to DO?
[05:48] <Flannel> !universe | HelloNew
[05:48] <_2> genii i agree totally,  unfortunately if it finds update-grub it runs it not asking anything.   that in my openion is a packaging error
[05:48] <X3S> WIGGMPk,  Ok thanks Im not using that currently XD
[05:48] <genii> _2: Maybe file a bug against it
[05:48] <_2> Finnish like i said    dpkg -L kino
[05:48] <_2> genii i can't file bugs,   long story.
[05:48] <Finnish> Oh, that. Thanks!
[05:49] <foxwoods> _2: long story???
[05:49] <foxwoods> Flannel: I know I've solved this in the past, but I can't remember: I've got boxes around the text boxes and fields in firefox, how do I get rid of that?
[05:49] <foxwoods> grey outlines*
[05:49] <JesperHansen> grub2 doesn't use /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[05:49] <WIGGMPk> Is there any way to administer a system (install, remove, change, etc) without the use of sudo ??
[05:50] <Flannel> WIGGMPk: What are you trying to accomplish?
[05:50] <_2> JesperHansen not unless the ubuntu packagers/developers changed it.   grub2 uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[05:50] <WIGGMPk> its complicated, can I take this to a private chat?
[05:50] <X3S> WIGGMPk,  I think Apps > Add/ Dell is usefull for that
[05:50] <Finnish> How do I "comment out" something in script?
[05:50] <_2> JesperHansen but the file you will want to change is /etc/defaults/grub
[05:51] <Flannel> WIGGMPk: If its long, you can pastebin and then post the question here.  That will save you from having to repeat it over and over again.
[05:51] <WIGGMPk> No, its quick but more private then public
[05:51] <Flannel> WIGGMPk: Alright
[05:51] <Alice22> .help webcam

[05:52] <Alice22> Hello i have a webcam logitech and i want to instal it on my ubuntu...
[05:52] <bullgard4> [GNOME] System > Administration > System Monitor > View > differentiates 'All Processes' and 'My Processes'. What is the difference?
[05:53] <foxwoods> hellhound_: got your xorg.conf yet?
[05:53] <jsj0nes> Finnish: insert a # at the beginning of the line (or before any command for that matter)
[05:53] <Alice22> Enywhone ... see me ?
[05:53] <Alice22> Hello i have a webcam logitech and i want to instal it on my ubuntu...
[05:53] <nitam> hey, is anybody here ?
[05:53] <foxwoods> Flannel: sorry to bother you again, remember anything about grey outlines in firefox or no?
[05:53] <foxwoods> nitam: yes
[05:53] <nitam> hey foxwoods
[05:54] <nitam> Does anybody know if there is a way to boot a linux installed on a disc (grub is broke) from a linux CD, like net install cd from debian or any other linux install cd ? I mean, through the prompt or something ?
[05:54] <Flannel> foxwoods: No
[05:54] <izinucs> bullgard4, processes owned by you and processes owned by root
[05:55] <Alice22> Hello i have a webcam logitech and i want to instal it on my ubuntu...
[05:55] <bullgard4> izinucs: Do 'processes owned by root' include the 'processes owned by me'?
[05:56] <foxwoods> nitam: can you run the linux install cd, get to prompt, mount the drive, and then fix the grub menu.lst?
[05:56] <hellhound_> foxwoods: i am having to type it out to put in pastebin
[05:56] <foxwoods> nitam: how is your linux/grub broken
[05:56] <spill> Alice22: did you try just plugging it in?  go to the repositories and download the program called cheese.
[05:56] <foxwoods> hellhound_: can you see any section there with Screen?
[05:56] <foxwoods> Just pastebin that, and anything that references "Screen"
[05:56] <binarymutant> anyone else have a lot of updates today?
[05:56] <izinucs> bullgard4, not really sure about that.  viewable yes.. realistically I'm not sure.
[05:56] <mindrape> binarymutant: a few, yeah.
[05:57] <spill> Alice22: also skype is supported for liunx if you use that., cheese lets you take snake shots and video.
[05:57] <binarymutant> mindrape, a kernel update?
[05:57] <mindrape> yup
[05:57] <binarymutant> thanks
[05:57] <mindrape> 2.6.27-11
[05:57] <the6step> I have a question
[05:57] <Kruxer> I've got a problem with firestarter :(
[05:57] <mindrape> !ask | the6step
[05:57] <the6step> I did sudo aptitude install git
[05:57] <bullgard4> izinucs: Thank you very much for commenting. I will do some more snooping based on your comment.
[05:57] <hellhound_> foxwoods: yes
[05:57] <the6step> I did sudo aptitude install git, it says it installed, but typing git does nothing
[05:57] <Defcon1> so if I want to revert to an old kernel, how do i find out what I need to change on the gurb menu.lst
[05:57] <Alice22> spill:  i whant to use it on Kopete
[05:58] <Kruxer> when it's running my internet will destroy
[05:58] <foxwoods> hellhound_: then just type those sections and pastebin it
[05:58] <Kruxer> what should i do?
[05:58] <nitam> foxwoods, I'm looking for another way to do that, since I need to re execute grub-install ... I was thinking something like running root= or image= or boot= or whatever the option is, in order to boot my linux directly from the cd install prompt
[05:58] <foxwoods> Kruxer: destroy?
[05:58] <spill> Alice22: have you tried it yet to see if it works?
[05:58] <nitam> Im not even sure if such a thing is possible
[05:58] <Flannel> the6step: "git" isn't the same "git" that you're thinking of.  You want git-core
[05:58] <Kruxer> foxwoods, My Internet connection will disconnect :P
[05:58] <Alice22> spill:  Yes... and it doesen„t
[05:58] <foxwoods> Kruxer: do you really need firestarter?
[05:59] <Kruxer> foxwoods, yeah,for Internet connection sharing ...
[05:59] <ricecube> the last 2 days, I've been trying to duel boot Ubuntu 8.04 with Windows XP, and everything I try seems to make things worse...
[05:59] <foxwoods> Kruxer: ? connection sharing? it's a firewall, it's supposed to block most things........
[05:59] <JesperHansen> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/123775/comments/84 says to install gsynaptics-elantech from repos. I cant seem to find it tho in any of the main, universe, multiverse or restricted ones.
[05:59] <Alice22> spill:  Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:08dd Logitech, Inc. QuickCam for Notebooks
[06:00] <Kruxer> foxwoods, no...it has an option that can share Internet connection
[06:00] <Kruxer> between wlan0 and eth0
[06:00] <foxwoods> ricecube: http://www.psychocats.net
[06:00] <foxwoods> Kruxer: why would you want to share between wlan0 and eth0?
[06:00] <foxwoods> Kruxer: what are you trying to accomplish?
[06:01] <wolf_> After the laTest update in ubuntu, I no Longer have sound
[06:01] <spill> Alice22: hmm, thats a bit above my experience.  :) sorry.
[06:01] <Kruxer> foxwoods, I've got a lan network and i want to share internet between eth0(that Internet comming from) and wlan0(the wireless network)...
[06:01] <_2> !selinux > WIGGMPk
[06:01] <Defcon1> so if I want to revert to an old kernel, how do i find out what I need to change on the gurb menu.lst
[06:02] <evilGUI> I have a server I setup for use as a webserver I used Ubuntu Server, Apache, PHP, mySQL and Wordpress is the only web app I'm going to run is there anything else I need to do to secure my server?
[06:02] <Kruxer> foxwoods, ?
[06:03] <sleepy_cat> c_nick
[06:03] <evilGUI> The only port I have open on my webserver is 80
[06:03] <hellhound_> foxwoods:  ok here is the pastebin of xorg    http://pastebin.com/m13831630
[06:04] <_2> Defcon1 if the newest kernel is not working for you. and you want to ignore it until a patch comes out, you could just rm the /boot/vmlinux-version and update your boot loader
[06:04] <evilGUI> I'm also using very long random strings of text for passwords I can't think of anything else I would need to do to secure this system any ideas?
[06:05] <ricecube> foxwoods: the link you gave doesn't provide info about the configuration I'm trying to set up.
[06:05] <Defcon1> ok, my issue is the new kernel does not allow me to run my old vitual box machine and I am trying to boot the old kernel so I can use it
[06:05] <Defcon1> unless there is a good way to fix that another way
[06:05] <mindrape> Defcon1 - do you use vmware or virtualbox?
[06:06] <mindrape> ah... nevermind, I'm retarded
[06:06] <Finnish> How do I uninstall svn-version of ffmpeg?
[06:06] <mindrape> Defcon1 - just recompile it... it needs to be updated to use newest kernel modules
[06:06] <Defcon1> virtualbox
[06:06] <n8tuser> evilGUI -> you still can run iptables
[06:06] <mindrape> Finnish - probably dpkg --remove
[06:06] <Wicked> !partition
[06:06] <Kruxer> !ics
[06:06] <evilGUI> n8tuser: So just setup iptables?
[06:06] <Kruxer> !firestarter
[06:07] <Finnish> mindrape: could you help a bit more?
[06:07] <mindrape> Finnish - dpkg -l ffmpeg
[06:07] <n8tuser> evilGUI-> yes
[06:07] <evilGUI> alright thanks
[06:07] <Defcon1> mindrape: I use virtualbox
[06:07] <mindrape> Finnish - you can either sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg or dpkg --remove ffmpeg
[06:07] <mindrape> either should work
[06:08] <mindrape> Defcon1 - recompile it.
[06:08] <JamesA_> !java
[06:08] <mindrape> Defcon1 - personally i prefer vmware 'cause it auto-rebuilds when a new kernel is installed
[06:08] <Defcon1> mindrape: I like the seamless mode of virtualbox
[06:08] <Defcon1> mindrape: how would one go about recompiling?
[06:08] <JamesA_> !oberon
[06:08] <Finnish> mindrape: If I have ffmpeg already (not the svn-version), will it take both away?
[06:09] <Kruxer> foxwoods, ?
[06:09] <Kruxer> !ping
[06:09] <ricecube> Can somebody help me figure out why grub won't install?
[06:10] <Kruxer> ricecube, what's the problem?
[06:10] <quibbler> ricecube, can you explain more concisely what you problem is with duel boot
[06:10] <ricecube> I'll try...
[06:10] <mindrape> Finnish - dpkg -S ffmpeg   <--- I believe that will give you the full name of the pkg.
[06:11] <surabaya> hqai
[06:11] <JesperHansen> foxwoods: got mouse lag down to 2-3px per move on the mousepad, but still too much :p
[06:13] <ricecube> I've tried installing windows xp and ubuntu 8.04 in various different orders, and when I boot, it always gives and error like, "No operating system!" or takes me to "grub>"  I keep getting error 15 and 17 when I try to install grub using my live cd following the instructions found on ubuntuforums
[06:14] <mindrape> !grub | ricecube
[06:14] <Agent_bob> !info grub2
[06:14] <ricecube> *sigh*
[06:14] <ricecube> I've look at all of those
[06:15] <mindrape> ricecube - well I can google error 15 and 17 grub ubuntu for you... but I figured you already did.
[06:15] <ricecube> yes, I've searched extenively
[06:15] <Agent_bob> ricecube grub2 might work for you
[06:15] <Agent_bob> lilo might too
[06:16] <ricecube> ugh... I don't want to have to mess with lilo every time I update my kernel
[06:16] <Agent_bob> i use partitionless systems, and grub is too weak to boot them   but grub2 works smoothly
[06:17] <ricecube> what's the difference in grub that would make it work for me as opposed to grub
[06:17] <Agent_bob> Q what's the differance between a duck ?
[06:17] <Agent_bob> A one leg is both the same.
[06:17] <foxwoods> Kruxer: you can't do that through a pc as far as I know kruxer....you need a router
[06:18] <Defcon1> mindrape thanks I got it all figured out
[06:18] <foxwoods> JesperHansen: :(
[06:18] <ricecube> Fixed: what's the difference in grub2 that would make it work for me as opposed to grub
[06:18] <sockets> how do i change the "url" in the minimal cd - us.archive.ubuntu.com is erroring on packages due to timeouts i'm guessing
[06:18] <foxwoods> hellhound_: sorry, was away trying to fix an amarok problem
[06:18] <nickrud> ricecube, the ubuntu version has a command, update-grub , that automatically adds all the kernels to the boot option. It's run as part of the kernel upgrade
[06:18] <Kruxer> foxwoods, I did it 1 min ago :D thanx ;)
[06:18] <hellhound_> foxwoods:  no problem.... here is the pastebin of xorg    http://pastebin.com/m13831630
[06:19] <Kruxer> !repeat
[06:19] <Agent_bob> ricecube grub2 uses much more advanced filesystem support than the old grub (relying on bios for everything) did.
[06:19]  * nickrud realizes he should have read back more than 2 pages
[06:19] <ricecube> ok, I'll try that, but I also have another problem that came up
[06:20]  * JesperHansen looks at the windows install disc in despair
[06:20] <foxwoods> hellhound_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111570/
[06:20] <sockets> how do i change us.archive.ubuntu.com in the minimal iso?
[06:21] <mindrape> edit /etc/apt/sources.list?
[06:21] <ricecube> I deleted my mbr and partition table then repartitioned, and now my bootable windows install cd don't work
[06:21] <sainath> i have written a small libwnck program to switch into neighbor workspace and activates it. but when i execute it,it returns null
[06:21] <foxwoods> hellhound_: try replacing that screen line with what I have, then try another startx
[06:21] <foxwoods> hellhound_: also, if you have any other differences with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/111571/ let me know
[06:22] <sainath> the prog is working in another sys
[06:22] <AdrianThorn> I'm trying to install a past version of Thunderbird, I think I did it right but I can't get it to start.
[06:22] <sainath> but not on mine
[06:22] <AdrianThorn> Can someone help?
[06:23] <hellhound_> foxwoods: made changes... rebooting now
[06:23] <mindrape> AdrianThorn: pull up a terminal and run Thunderbird... see if it gives you an error
[06:23] <therootest> hello. i have a question about computers, but it hasnt much to do with ubuntu. Is anyone there to help me?
[06:24] <mindrape> AdrianThorn: ps aux | grep "thunderbird" see if it is perhaps defunct?
[06:24] <weird> hi there
[06:24] <foxwoods> hellhound_: you shouldn't have to reboot, next time just type startx
[06:24] <ricecube> !ask | therootest
[06:24] <mindrape> therootest: this is ubuntu support... ask the Q and if it is too far off topic we'll tar and feather you...
[06:24] <sainath> mindrape:i have written a small libwnck program to switch into neighbor workspace and activates it. but when i execute it,it returns null
[06:25] <wers> how do i do this?-->  The person who is giving support needs to have port 5500 open to their machine which requires a port forward on a NATed network.
[06:25] <AdrianThorn> mindrape: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:25] <mindrape> sainath: I'm not familiar with libwnck and can't help you troubleshoot it, sorry.  If you'd like help with a shell script I can help w that.. or perhaps java or perl or php?
[06:25] <hellhound_> foxwoods: startx reported no screens again and reboot stops at "checking battery state...." without launching kdm
[06:25] <foxwoods> Kruxer: nice find.....didn't know you could do that
[06:25] <codeshah> hey guys, how would I search and replace something in all files recursively in subdirectories?
[06:25] <mindrape> AdrianThorn: well its time to google that error message along with the word "ubuntu" and see what package it needs you to     sudo apt-get install
[06:25] <sainath> mindrape :thanks
[06:25] <hellhound_> foxwoods: no changes that I noticed
[06:26] <foxwoods> hellhound_:can you boot to the command line and tell me the error when you try startx?
[06:26] <mindrape> codeshah: awk
[06:27] <mindrape> wers - login to your router
[06:27] <AdrianThorn> mindrape: I found the package and it says a dependence for the package isn't satisfiable
[06:27] <AdrianThorn> mindrape: I assume I have to download that too
[06:27] <wers> mindrape, and then?
[06:27] <mindrape> wers - <IP_ADDRESS> most likely - ifconfig to find out... login and there should be options to configure port forwarding.
[06:28] <mindrape> AdrianThorn: apt-get oughta auto-resolve dependency issues
[06:28] <mindrape> AdrianThorn: but yes, install whatever it asks for... :P
[06:28] <mindrape> wers - do you use netgear? linksys? what kind of router?
[06:28] <foxwoods> hellhound_: if it still doesn't work, do the following: in your xorg.conf, change the Device 'nvidia' line to Device 'nv', then you can use kdm normally.....if you want to try getting official nvidia drivers again, redo the uninstall of ALL NVIDIA things, grab the 180.22 driver from nvidia.com, run the command again, etc.
[06:28] <wers> mindrape, linksys
[06:29] <mindrape> wers - http://<IP_ADDRESS> in a browser... if it asks for login/password try           admin:admin        or admin:password      or admin:<no pass>

[06:29] <TheEdge_> how do i see witch program that are running in the back
[06:29] <therootest> i want to buy iPC 400 by Tortola. But it hasnt a x86 processor, it has the Ingenic JZ4730 366GHz MIPS32 processor. Is ubuntu ok with this architecture?
[06:30] <wers> mindrape, yep. i'm there now
[06:30] <mindrape> wers - if so click on that and pick the port ranges you want ie;      5500 - 5500    and forward it to    5500:5500  to your LAN ip
[06:30] <JesperHansen> damnit... I keep getting this message when trying to run gsynaptics http://i35.tinypic.com/flliqp.png
[06:30] <mindrape> to find out your lan ip pull up a term and ifconfig    its like <IP_ADDRESS>-105ish
[06:30] <andrew_> are the repositories slow as hell for anyone else
[06:30] <andrew_> i just install ubuntu and cant get over 30kb/s!~
[06:30] <mindrape> andrew_ - nope... speedy as ever for me... jealous?
[06:31] <andrew_> 245 updates
[06:31] <andrew_> would taek a year
[06:31] <nickrud> JesperHansen, have you restarted X?
[06:31] <andrew_> mindrape
[06:31] <andrew_> no
[06:31] <andrew_> guess ill just go back to windows
[06:31] <JesperHansen> nickrud: ctrl+alt+backspace'd yes
[06:31] <mindrape> k, fewer people in the repos for me... it'll be that much faster.  :P
[06:31] <AdrianThorn> that did it thanks, mindrape
[06:31] <mindrape> AdrianThorn: np  :)
[06:32] <hellhound_> foxwoods: when i replace "nvidia" with "nv" and startx i get "no devices detected"  instead of "no screens found"
[06:32] <nickrud> JesperHansen, odd ...
[06:32] <mindrape> wers - keep in mind that you need to actually have a process on your end listening for an incoming connection on 5500...
[06:32] <JesperHansen> Got this as xorg.conf http://pastebin.mozilla.org/612460
[06:32] <mindrape> wers - you can forward ports to your LAN ip all day but if no daemon is there to receive it his requests will fall on deaf ears... metaphorically
[06:34] <hellhound_> foxwoods: if it helps I do have two monitors and two of the GeForce  8600 GT cards on this computer...
[06:34] <andrew_> someone help me
[06:34] <foxwoods> hellhound_: sorry, I need your whole xorg.conf then
[06:34] <mindrape> JesperHansen: it appears you still need to make the entry that is causing the error for gsynaptics...
[06:34] <mindrape> whats wrong andrew_?  slow repos is all?
[06:34] <andrew_> Download Speed: 9965 kbps (1245.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
[06:34] <andrew_> Upload Speed: 8303 kbps (1037.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
[06:34] <andrew_> look at that
[06:35] <andrew_> yea
[06:35] <Gnea> !ask | andrew_
[06:35] <FloodBot1> andrew_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:35] <andrew_> How do i get a fast repository
[06:35] <andrew_> and what file do i edit
[06:35] <mindrape> /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:36] <Gnea> andrew_: you make sure you're using the correct country code and you keep trying until you hit a fast one in the round robin
[06:36] <bullgard4> Why is the process kondemand/0 running every few seconds on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 laptop but not on another ? It seems to be unrelated to the CPU frequency change rhythm indicated by the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet.

[06:36] <JesperHansen> mindrape: what entry are you refering to?
[06:36] <mindrape> Option  "SHMConfig"      "true"
[06:36] <hellhound_> foxwoods: ok give me a sec
[06:36] <freyyr> hi, i just got gutsy (finally) running on a g3 imac.  I'm trying to install gnash because adobe doesn't have a PPC binary.  whenever I go into mozilla  I get a gray box.  any suggestions?
[06:37] <gladio70> buongiorno ragazzi
[06:37] <JesperHansen> mindrape: did that as well. Then read "Note: Setting the "SHMConfig" option to "true" doesn't work in newer XOrg. Change it to "on"."
[06:37] <gladio70> volevo chiedervi l'ennesima cosa
[06:37] <JesperHansen> neither true nor on works
[06:37] <JesperHansen> gladio70: no
[06:37] <foxwoods> freyyr: did gnash install correctly?
[06:37] <Gnea> !it | gladio70
[06:38] <gladio70> sta minkia scusasse allora
[06:38] <freyyr> foxwoods: to my knowledge, yes.  I installed with "apt-get install gnash gnash-plugin-mozilla" and apt returned and installed without error
[06:38] <freyyr> foxwoods: unless there's a configuration step that I missed.
[06:38] <mindrape> JesperHansen: have you tried this?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig
[06:40] <the6step> I'm having problems with git on ubuntu, connecting somewhere that requires a virtual key
[06:40] <mindrape> the6step - have you googled the exact error message and the word Ubuntu?
[06:40] <hellhound_> foxwoods: ok here you go http://pastebin.com/m7727beca
[06:40] <the6step> it keeps saying bad key but I have the key in the proper place
[06:40] <Gnea> !git
[06:40] <the6step> mindrape: I have been looking for a while, I can't figure it out
[06:40] <mindrape> the6step - paste the exact error here (or pastebin if its longer than 2 lines)
[06:41] <mindrape> there is probably a #git too ya know..
[06:43] <the6step> mindrape: I have a linux server and a mac locally and I have no problem connecting
[06:43] <the6step> it's only on my ubuntu, which is why I'm asking here
[06:43] <JesperHansen> mindrape: interesting
[06:43] <JesperHansen> mindrape: testing it.
[06:43] <mindrape> k :)
[06:43] <foxwoods> hellhound_: you didn't add the two zeroes after "Screen0"
[06:43] <foxwoods> that line should read:     Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
[06:43] <the6step> http://dpaste.com/114563/
[06:44] <hawodi> am about loosing my brain! I have xampp with apache running on port 8080 and the default ubuntu apache installation listening on port 80 and I can run the two instances of apache together.
[06:45] <mindrape> hawodi - and... ?
[06:45] <hellhound_> foxwoods: my bad.. i had simply copied and pasted what I had in pastebin prior and forgot that I had indeed added the two zeros in the "ServerLayout" Section... I just check my xorg and it does state: Screen     0   "Screen0" 0 0
[06:45] <JesperHansen> mindrape: and it requires reboot I see. brb then
[06:46] <hawodi> mindrape, I need to run both the apache in xampp and the default apache installation at the same time.
[06:46] <foxwoods> hellhound_: then let's do the exact opposite...:P remove those zeroes, and try another startx
[06:46] <silv3r_m00n> hi there.... firefox doesnt look good in kde what can be done ?
[06:46] <KujiUn> Is there any way to install Ubuntu without going through the LiveCD desktop?
[06:46] <mindrape> hawodi - and it appears you are on different ports... as is required...
[06:46] <the6step> mindrape: I have pastebin above, and I did something else, pastebin is here as well: http://dpaste.com/114564/
[06:46] <mindrape> !install KujiUn
[06:46] <Flannel> KujiUn: Yes, get the alternate CD.  It's textmode and just as easy
[06:46] <foxwoods> hellhound_: oh, also, remove the line Load "type1"
[06:46] <hawodi> When one runs the other gives an error message saying another instance is already running. Yes am on different ports.
[06:46] <KujiUn> Okay. Thank you very much.
[06:47] <hawodi> mindrape: one is on port 80 while the other is on port 8080.
[06:47] <mindrape> hawodi: well maybe you just run apache w xampp and use VirtualHosts to split up traffic?
[06:47] <foxwoods> hellhound_: That's probably your problem.....seems that your NVIDIA install got botched, as I said before, remove all you can with sudo apt-get remove nvidia (AUTO-COMPLETE), then get 180.22 for linux from NVIDIA.com and run the file
[06:48] <codename> is it hard installing the new nVidia drivers?
[06:48] <mindrape> hawodi - explain what you are trying to accomplish... also, #apache may be a better place to ask this.
[06:48] <codename> The 180
[06:48] <hawodi> mindrape: the error I get:he rising risk of a systemic financial meltdown: the twelve steps to financial disaster
[06:48] <mindrape> codename - 'twas easy enough for me...
[06:48] <codename> so i just install the current drivers i have now
[06:48] <codename> and run the .sh file
[06:48] <codename> and im set
[06:48] <mindrape> !nvidia codename
[06:48] <mindrape> !nvidia
[06:49] <foxwoods> !nvidia | codename
[06:49] <mindrape> man, I'm forgetting my pipes tonight
[06:49] <foxwoods> :P no worries
[06:49] <hellhound_> foxwoods: i get "no devices detected" again... it also states xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server     and then: xinit: No such process (errno 3): unexpected signal 2

[06:49] <hawodi> I need to run two different versions of php. Am using the xampp to run php4 while my default ubuntu lamp installation is php5.
[06:49] <peepsalot> is anyone else having trouble using google maps lately in firefox?  it displays a map, but the "Loading..." box at the top never finished, and I can't pan, zoom, etc.
[06:49] <foxwoods> ok hellhound_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:50] <foxwoods> go through the steps, then do as I said above for retrying getting a decent nvidia driver if you aren't satisfied with the default
[06:50] <mindrape> peepsalot: just tried and it works like a champ for me.
[06:50] <ari_stress> anyone knows what package that can check for duplicate files?
[06:50] <transporter> can somebody help me find a good diary software for hardy
[06:50] <Slart> ari_stress: I think it's called fdupe
[06:51] <mindrape> peepsalot - restart browser and clear cache?  look in ~/.mozilla/firefox for "issues"?
[06:51] <mindrape> transporter - gedit?
[06:51] <mindrape> transporter - you wanna post to blogger or something?
[06:51] <peepsalot> mindrape, :-/ i don't know why, it stopped working for me a few days ago.  I have restarted the browser numerous times since then
[06:51] <Slart> ari_stress: sorry, fdupes
[06:51] <ari_stress> Slart: thanks. searching in synaptic
[06:51] <foxwoods> hellhound_: you good with trying that? I gotta go if you don't mind\
[06:52] <mindrape> peepsalot: try cd ~/.mozilla          mv firefox firefoxbackup    restart it
[06:52] <JesperHansen> mindrape: didn't work :S
[06:52] <transporter> mindrape: no not exactly i just want a good diary software wherein i can write down my daily thoughts and feelings maybe even add a few smileys and add photos
[06:52] <mindrape> transporter - sign up for a blog, make it private, dont invite anybody to read it..
[06:53] <hawodi> mindrape:I need to run two different versions of php. Am using the xampp to run php4 while my default ubuntu lamp installation is php5
[06:53] <foxwoods> transporter: maybe try zim
[06:53] <the6step> mindrape: I guess this is the problem, do you have any thoughts? 2nd to last post: http://groups.google.com/group/github/browse_thread/thread/d7e7c6edc961752e/b9461d39ec907d72
[06:53] <the6step> and the last post
[06:53] <the6step> I guess it is saying that sudo aptitude install git-core doesn't install git correctly?
[06:53] <the6step> and it needs to be added to the unix path? any ideas?
[06:53] <transporter> foxwoods: zim
[06:53] <transporter> ??
[06:54] <mindrape> the6step - http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm
[06:55] <user_> hi how do i get sound working ?
[06:55] <ari_stress> Slart: fdupes is command line. i found fslint, it's a gui
[06:55] <hellhound_> foxwoods: thank you for your help!
[06:55] <mindrape> user_        sudo lshw -C sound
[06:56] <hateeecs> can anyone recommend the best video card for ubuntu in a media center (ie DVI and HDMI)?  thanks
[06:56] <foxwoods> hellhound_: np
[06:56] <transporter> foxwoods; how can i see the screenshots
[06:56] <peepsalot> mindrape, hmm, i think it's one of my plugins.  i disabled a bunch and it's working again.  I'll try to pinpoint which one it is
[06:56] <mindrape> the6step - I recommend asking in #git about your error... I really have never used it.
[06:57] <the6step> mindrape: I'm absolutely sure now it has to do with a faulty installation
[06:57] <the6step> can you give me tips of how to reinstall? that link you gave me is gibberish to me
[06:57] <mindrape> that link was how to update your $PATH
[06:58] <user_> anyone know how i can get sound working on 8.10 ?
[06:58] <mindrape> user_ did you sudo lshw -C sound ?  what did it say?
[06:59] <mindrape> user_ specifically which module?
[06:59] <mindrape> user_ did you sudo alsamixer      and did you ensure all options were set to max volume?
[06:59] <transporter> mindrape: that would not be possible i want a software i don't want to create a blog
[07:00] <mindrape> transporter - well do you know of Windows software that you prefer?  Maybe run THAT with WINE?  www.winehq.org
[07:01] <transporter> i will have to check even windows diary software's are not free
[07:01] <mindrape> transporter - google these....          Kdiary; Ktagebuch; GTK Journal; Xournal, Zim; Kontact
[07:01] <user_> mindrape module=snd_intel8x0
[07:02] <transporter> mindrape: can u gimme a url wherein i can check the screenshots
[07:02] <DamienCassou> hi
[07:02] <DamienCassou> I've a font problem when I plug my external 24" monitor (wide). As soon as I use plug it to the laptop, the font becomes unreadable (some characters are replaced by rectangles). I'm on a fresh Ubuntu 8.10. Can somebody help me please?
[07:02] <mindrape> transporter - no, but I can teach you how to go to www.google.com and type in each of those and click the first or 2nd link in most cases to find screenshots...
[07:02] <DamienCassou> I've a macbook 4.1 and an intel graphic card
[07:02] <mindrape> transporter - I dont hold hands... if you want somebody to hold your hand go get a partner.
[07:03] <transporter> mindrape: oh thanx for the sarcasm the fact is that im googling it out but its not showing any results
[07:03] <mindrape> DamienCassou: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[07:03] <transporter> mindrape: i checked out zim diary software tried typing in zim nothing there is everything else but the screenshots
[07:03] <transporter> :p
[07:04] <DamienCassou> mindrape: ok, installing. Do I need to do anything else before retrying to plug my monitor?
[07:05] <user_> mindrape: i checked alsamixer and done the things you said the module=snd_intel8x0 ?
[07:05] <mindrape> user_ - well pastebin the lshw output for me and lsmod also
[07:05] <atom^x> transporter, http://zim-wiki.org/screenshots.html
[07:06] <transporter> thanx for the help atom^x
[07:06] <mindrape> DamienCassou - it could also be that you are trying to use too high a resolution on a graphics card that cant handle it.
[07:06] <transporter> :D
[07:06] <mindrape> DamienCassou: it may make sense to edit your xorg.conf and bump down the default res to like 1024x768 til you get it working
[07:06] <DamienCassou> mindrape: I don't think so because it worked on hardy
[07:07] <DamienCassou> mindrape: there nothing more on the xorg.conf than the virtual resolution
[07:07] <mindrape> DamienCassou: lspci -k        see which graphics driver you are presently using.
[07:07] <user_> mindrape: lsmod output lists snd_intel8x0
[07:07] <mindrape> user_ you sure you have your speakers plugged into the right sound port on the back?
[07:07] <DamienCassou> mindrape:  Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
[07:08] <DamienCassou> mindrape: Kernel modules: intelfb
[07:08] <mindrape> Damien - grep for "Kernel driver in use"
[07:09] <mindrape> ie;         lspci -k | grep "Kernel driver in use"
[07:10] <DamienCassou> mindrape: Kernel driver in use: agpgart-intel
[07:10] <mindrape> well if that is correct then just reboot and hope for wonderfully readable fonts.
[07:11] <_2> why is device_mapper module not in the ubuntu kernels or why is lilo still looking for it ???  http://pastebin.com/f302d497d
[07:12] <_2> also why does cat proc mounts list things mounted multiple times ?   http://pastebin.com/f5e43316b
[07:12] <DamienCassou> mindrape: thank you. I will try.
[07:12] <ari_stress> guys, how to defragment in ubuntu?
[07:12] <mindrape> !defrag
[07:12] <_2> ari_stress why  ?
[07:13] <ari_stress> _2: i just deleted many files, i thought i need to defrag, right? also i do lots of torrents
[07:13] <_2> ari_stress i doubt you need too.
[07:15] <_2> ari_stress i deleted the files from an entire installation and installed a different distro without formating the fs while retaining all my data 50g on an 80g drive in a lappy.   no problems there.
[07:15] <ari_stress> mindrape: i read the page. seems make sense. but with torrents, it has got to be fragmented somehow, right?
[07:15] <bullgard4> Why is the process kondemand/0 running every few seconds on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 laptop but not on another ? It seems to be unrelated to the CPU frequency change rhythm indicated by the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet.
[07:15]  * JesperHansen sees how ubuntu has gotten worse and worse for each release
[07:16] <ari_stress> _2: can we measure the performance of our filesystem? to know whether the fragmentation level is still ok
[07:16] <_2> ari_stress yes indeed   fsck -f the thing
[07:17] <JesperHansen> ext4 is only available on alternative cd atm. for 9.04, right?
[07:17] <_2> ari_stress the highest i have ever seen yet is .5% non-contiguous
[07:17] <ari_stress> JesperHansen: better don't use ext4 yet, i read a bug of data loss
[07:17] <JesperHansen> ari_stress: screw data loss
[07:17] <Scubidus> Hey everyone
[07:17] <ari_stress> WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[07:17] <ari_stress> SEVERE filesystem damage.
[07:17] <jedi3> whats shaking
[07:18] <JesperHansen> Firefox hang is only ½ sec now against ext3 hang is 10sec
[07:18] <Scubidus> I have a problem with my wireless at the moment
[07:18] <Scubidus> I can get Ubuntu to recognize the card is there but It wont let me connect to any of the networks it displays
[07:18] <jedi3> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/
[07:18] <jedi3> any reason this doesnt work?
[07:18] <_2> jedi3 whole lot of shakin' goin' on.
[07:19] <mindrape> Scubidus: lspci -k       which driver you using?          sudo lshw -C network
[07:19] <jedi3> noot much, bored cant sleep. realized its time to get ubuntu installed on machine
[07:19] <jedi3> however no cds just dvds
[07:19] <mindrape> Scubidus: has it ever worked or just stopped working recently?
[07:19] <Scubidus> not really other than it only worked for me after I patched it
[07:19] <Scubidus> stopped working when I had to format the drive
[07:19] <mindrape> Scubidus: sudo iwconfig             does it show any wireless devices with wireless extentions?
[07:19] <Scubidus> and reinstalled ubuntu
[07:20] <mindrape> Scubidus: it could be as simple as sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-modules
[07:20] <Scubidus> yea I can't even get a wired at the moment
[07:20] <_2> jedi3 maybe because that is /dvd/current  ?
[07:20] <jedi3> yeah im looking for the dvd image
[07:20] <Scubidus> I'm goin to try to find my boxes real quick
[07:20] <_2> oh i misread
[07:20] <Scubidus> maybe I can get a hardwire in here
[07:20] <Scubidus> hold up
[07:20] <jedi3> ahah I fail hard at typing
[07:20] <ari_stress> _2: so, ext3 defrags itself on random time? can we see it in action?
[07:21] <mindrape> ari_stress - only w an electron microscope.. ?
[07:21] <syockit> I thought it does that through the journalling
[07:21] <syockit> and every fsck routine
[07:21] <lodder_> need some help with this: find -E . -type d -iregex "./[^/]*/S(eason|eries)[[:space:]]+[0-9]+" I get the error find: unknown predicate `-E' please help me resolve it
[07:21] <_2> ari_stress that i can't say,  there may be a process in /proc that one could watch,  not really sure.
[07:22] <syockit> lodder_: there's no -E in find. Where'd you get that?
[07:22] <lodder_> syockit: I find it on a web page
[07:23] <lodder_> syockit: can you help me use the correct line for this to work
[07:23] <mindrape> lodder - taking away -E does what?
[07:23] <syockit> can you tell the site? maybe it's for another shell
[07:24] <lodder_> mindrape: get no output
[07:24] <DamienCassou> mindrape: that didn't fix my problem :-(
[07:24] <_2> also you might want to use single quotes
[07:24] <whatev> i can't irc from my windows desktop at work because the firewall blocks it, but i can if i ssh to my linux server. is there any way i can somehow get my windows irc client to use ssh to my linux to let me irc?
[07:24] <Scubidus> Ill brb going to boot my Linux partition up and try
[07:24] <mindrape> lodder_ - hold, lemme make some Season 1-9 and Seires 1-5 directories real fast...
[07:25] <lodder_> mindrape: ok
[07:25] <codeyman> My filesystem has gone readonly.. anybody has any ideas?
[07:25] <codeyman> have tried using badblocks, ext2fsck .. no avail
[07:26] <DamienCassou> mindrape: in fact, I thought it did work because I didn't have any problems for a few seconds. Then the font became unreadable again. To set-up my dual screen, I use: xrandr --verbose --fb 1680x1850 --output TMDS-1 --auto --output LVDS --auto --below TMDS-1
