[07:48] <rip_> wrong window
[07:48] <RJN> but how....
[07:49] <binarymutant> RJN, how...to install it? or use it?
[07:49] <Gnea> AkaBkn: you should be able to keep it there, and edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to ensure that it does not overwrite your resolv.conf in the event of a lease renew
[07:50] <RJN> use it
[07:50] <AkaBkn> Gnea: but i've i change my location i need to reconfig it? so i like to have it like befor
[07:50] <vigo> RJN: I think cp would do it, but I also think that you are asking for a sync, let me look into that.
[07:50] <Gnea> AkaBkn: you'll need to write your own script for that, then
[07:50] <drash> owen1: that's always going to be subjective .. personally i dislike panels and have removed all of them in xfce (that lightens things up pretty nice as a bonus) ... i guess once you're in lxde you can tweak at will
[07:50] <RJN> ok
[07:51] <Gnea> AkaBkn: or...
[07:51] <binarymutant> RJN, scp <file> <user>@<ip>:/home/<user>/<folder>
[07:51] <RJN> ok
[07:51] <RJN> wait
[07:51] <Gnea> AkaBkn: iirc, NetworkManager has the ability to use different profiles - you might be able to use a static dns server with it
[07:52] <binarymutant> RJN, here's an ex. scp filename.txt binarymutant@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/binarymutant/
[07:52] <kingsley> How do you install java on 8.04?
[07:52] <Gnea> !java | kingsley
[07:53] <kingsley> Gnea: Thanks.
[07:53] <AkaBkn> Gnea: thx
[07:53] <owen1> drash: i agree. i swiched to dwm.
[07:53] <drash> tweak66: still working on getting your drive issue fixed ? If so, could you provide a paste of your present /etc/fstab ? We can take it from there ...

[07:58] <Deadboys> Can someone please help me with FD_SETSIZE
[07:58] <tweak66> thanks drash
[07:59] <vigo> binarymutant: good call, I missed that one
[07:59] <skate2> what does 'sudo su' do?
[07:59] <binarymutant> RJN, scp -R folder/containing36GB <user>@<ip>:/home/<user>/folder/containing35GB
[07:59] <skate2> is it just the same thing as sudo -i?
[07:59] <RJN> ok now ..... my source pc is <IP_ADDRESS> and my destination pc is <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:00] <binarymutant> RJN, ...     scp -R folder/ rjn@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/rjn/
[08:01] <RJN> skate2,  sudo su can be used to login as 'root'.
[08:01] <kukuchopra> after intalling ubuntu i deleted my windows folders
[08:01] <lstarnes> skate2: I think sudo -i is more secure
[08:01] <RJN> both also same

[08:03] <RJN> RJN, ...     scp -R folder/ rjn@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/rjn ...... this command i need to my source rite
[08:03] <drash> tweak66: did you try adding "defaults" to your /line ? defaults,relatime,errors=remount-ro ... i believe that will make it rw
[08:03] <binarymutant> RJN, are you on the machine with the 35GB folder or is it the remote?
[08:04] <RJN> the remote ..... i need to copy it to my machine
[08:04] <RJN> and the sync need to run everyday
[08:05] <binarymutant> RJN, scp -R rjn@<ip>:/home/rjn/folder .
[08:05] <tweak66> drash: then reboot?
[08:05] <binarymutant> RJN, you can use cron to do it everyday
[08:05] <RJN> the cron ..... i got the solution
[08:05] <drash> tweak66: correct .. gotta go to work, goodluck
[08:05] <RJN> the ip is it my machine or the XPC machine
[08:06] <tweak66> thanks drash! :)
[08:06] <binarymutant> RJN, in the last example it would be your remote
[08:06] <RJN> my machine is <IP_ADDRESS> and my XPC is <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:06] <binarymutant> RJN its always the remote
[08:06] <RJN> ok let me try it
[08:07] <constantine> how do you download a script and run it?
[08:07] <binarymutant> constantine, ?
[08:07] <binarymutant> constantine, ./script
[08:08] <Xrm123> hey, i'm having trouble installing a ps2 eyetoy on my ubuntu machine, anyone have any experience getting that to work?
[08:08] <binarymutant> constantine, it really depends on the script
[08:08] <constantine>  bash alsa-info.sh
[08:08] <binarymutant> constantine, ./alsa-info.sh works
[08:10] <punkrockguy318> I was attempting to fix my GRUB bootloader but I beleive I ran setup (hd0,0) on my Vista partition.  Did this destroy my vista partition?  Is there anyway I can fix this error?  When I boot my vista partition, the grub bootloader just loads again

[08:20] <optraz> binarymutant: NO, i mean how is upgrade possible
[08:20] <binarymutant> optraz, nah dist-upgrade will leave local alone
[08:20] <optraz> binarymutant: are you sure?
[08:20] <FoxBlitzz> kukuchopra: Your message was cut off. Please use this site: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[08:21] <binarymutant> optraz, if your scared then backup
[08:21] <spirited> omg it says to choose the tools to install. perform the following steps at the Welcome page of the installation wizard, which of course I see none.
[08:21] <optraz> binarymutant: it is not scared, it is it failed during upgrade.
[08:21] <spirited> that command was supposed to make the installer files executables.
[08:22] <constantine> what do I do with this script to get it to work? : http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh
[08:22] <binarymutant> optraz, you've totally lost me, restate the question please
[08:23] <binarymutant> constantine, save it then chmod +x it and then ./it
[08:23] <hbekel> spirited: you need to run that install script, too
[08:23] <optraz> binarymutant, i have my own packages installe in ubuntu, when upgrade from hardy to ibex, it complaint. how do we proceed in such a case?
[08:24] <spirited> hbekel: I don't see an install script. Is that what was made, if so would it be in the same dir?
[08:24] <binarymutant> optraz, you have your own packages in packages.ubuntu.com ? or you installed some debs that weren't in the repo?
[08:25] <constantine> binarymutant: I have no idea what that means lol save it where it won't even let me save it and I don't know what chmod or ./ is
[08:25] <optraz> binarymutant: i have build my own package, deb.
[08:25] <RJN> ok its done
[08:25] <binarymutant> optraz, save the debs somewhere else (backup) and then reinstall them when the installation is complete
[08:26] <RJN> both of my machine have it
[08:26] <RJN> the openssh-server
[08:26] <binarymutant> constantine, are you using firefox?
[08:26] <optraz> binarymutant: that was what i done in previous upgrade to hardy and that proove not efficient.
[08:26] <rip_> Trying to set up VirtualBox.  Having issues with the mouse.  Says I need to install "Guest Additions" which fails to install through VirtualBox, and also fails when installed via Synaptic.  anybody have experience with this
[08:26] <constantine> binarymutant: yes I am, das ist der meister
[08:27] <binarymutant> optraz, that's as efficient as it gets
[08:27] <LogicFan> rick_, what kind of problems?  guest additions are usually installed through virtualbox while running the guest OS
[08:27] <hbekel> spirited: chmod +x sets the executable bit on a file, it doesn't execute it
[08:27] <LoRdRapTuReZ> binarymutant, its already installed
[08:27] <optraz> well, not in my opinion, is there a better way?
[08:27] <spirited> hbekel: so chmod made that same file an executable?
[08:28] <optraz> spirited: yes
[08:28] <binarymutant> constantine, open that link you gave, File->Save as..    then open a terminal and `chmod +x alsa-info.sh` and then `./alsa-info.sh` you have to do this in the folder you saved it to
[08:28] <spirited> hah!
[08:28] <rip_> LogicFan: im just in the windows installer, does everybody just do it without the mouse?
[08:28] <lolo> hi I'm really at my wits end here - my monitor is not being detected properly by xorg - its a samsung 740bf and only showing a 800x600
[08:28] <spirited> ok I never would have expected that, thanks.
[08:28] <lolo> can someone help pls
[08:28] <bony> what are the ways to add a title to a video? i tried out kino lives but its not working
[08:28] <spirited> hbekel: thanks
[08:28] <LogicFan> rip_, you should have mouse support
[08:28] <Geoffrey2> hey folks...is there a channel in here for CUPS?
[08:28] <LogicFan> guest additions just add extra features
[08:29] <rip_> constantine: you dont have the also drivers installed? I thought they came installed by default (read a part of what was going on earlier, i was afk)
[08:29] <lolo> anyone pls?
[08:29] <spirited> hbekel: Ok where should I install most of these things like netbeans? In Vista Im used to installing in program files or off of the C:
[08:29] <spirited> C:\ drive.
[08:29] <binarymutant> lolo | ask
[08:29] <constantine> rio_I do I think, this is just a bug reporting script
[08:29] <rip_> LogicFan: no mouse support, says: "note that mouse integration feature requires guest additions to be installed in the guest os"
[08:30] <binarymutant> heh forgot the !
[08:30] <rip_> constantine: ah
[08:30] <Geoffrey2> I have a printer hooked up to a print server, which is itself plugged into a wireless router...I need to find how to make CUPS detect the printer
[08:30] <optraz> binarymutant: so you just guess answering ?
[08:30] <bobbie4> I like ubuntu and it treats me just fine
[08:30] <LoRdRapTuReZ> binarymutant,  are you ther
[08:30] <LogicFan> rip_, it just means seemless integration
[08:30] <lolo> I have a problem with a samsung 740bf lcd monitor - only showing 800x600
[08:30] <LogicFan> e.g. moving in and out of the virtual machine without having to capture and release your mouse/keyboard everytime
[08:31] <LoRdRapTuReZ> lolo..... try to reinstall your display driver
[08:31] <rip_> LogicFan: ooohhh ok.  well then i switch my question to "why doesnt my mouse work in virtualbox" :) lol
[08:31] <LogicFan> rip_, yeah, thats the problem
[08:31] <LogicFan> rip_, how is your mouse plugged in?
[08:31] <lolo> Lor
[08:31] <binarymutant> optraz, no, if those debs are not in the repo then the best way to dist-upgrade would be to reinstall them afterwards
[08:31] <rip_> LogicFan: usb
[08:31] <LoRdRapTuReZ> or go to preferences - monitor settings
[08:32] <LogicFan> wired?
[08:32] <lolo> LoRdRapTuReZ, I am using the openchrome driver
[08:32] <LoRdRapTuReZ> lolo  go to preferences - monitor settings
[08:32] <LoRdRapTuReZ> lolo look on the settings at ther
[08:32] <rip_> LogicFan: no wait, i take that back, its ps/2 and yes wired, with a usb to ps/2 adaptor.... wow im still running this kvm setup though there isnt a kvm, just realized that
[08:32] <binarymutant> LoRdRapTuReZ, I'm here
[08:32] <constantine> binarymutant: Error stating file '/home/constantine/Pictures/utils': No such file or directory
[08:32] <optraz> binarymutant: remove, install back too much hassle, imaagine you have to do every 6 months! i have more packages coming currently at 20
[08:32] <LoRdRapTuReZ> binarymutant, its already installed
[08:32] <spirited> Guys where are you supposed to install things in Linux? For example in windows most things go in Program Files by default or C: or whatever.
[08:33] <binarymutant> LoRdRapTuReZ, what's installed?
[08:33] <tweak66> hi. i just installed a new drive and formatted it to ext3. when i try to copy files to it i get this error : The folder "Video" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination.
[08:33] <LoRdRapTuReZ> openssh
[08:33] <binarymutant> optraz, you dont need to remove them
[08:33] <LogicFan> rip_, i would plug your mouse directly into your host machine, delete the VM and then re-create it
[08:33] <binarymutant> optraz, why dont you get these packages into Ubuntu's repo?
[08:33] <binarymutant> constantine, I dont understand what your saying
[08:34] <hbekel> spirited: third party software that doesn't map to the FHS usually goes into /opt. Are you sure there is no netbeans pkg in the repos you can install via apt-get?
[08:34] <optraz> binarymutant: if not remove them, else the upgrade wont work
[08:34] <constantine> binarymutant: it won't let me save the script
[08:34] <optraz> binarymutant: cause that is for personal usage
[08:34] <binarymutant> optraz, dist-upgrade will work even if you don't remove them
[08:34] <optraz> binarymutant: answer the questions, how cna the upgrade be possible in that case.
[08:34] <binarymutant> optraz, what error do you get?
[08:35] <binarymutant> !patience
[08:35] <arquebus> spirited: you dont install like that in linux, things go in different places, it just depends
[08:35] <ratbox> Hi there, what's the best version of ubuntu for a 486DX4-75mhz? I've no cd-rom, and only 19MB or RAM.., can Ubuntu do anything for me?
[08:35] <lolo> LoRdRapTuReZ, sorry I was in xubuntu - got into gnome again
[08:35] <binarymutant> constantine, open the link, File->Save as
[08:35] <LogicFan> ratbox, i wouldn't try ubuntu.  stick to something optimized for those specs like damn small linux or puppy linux
[08:35] <optraz> binarymutant: dont hve with me now
[08:35] <newmember> I just got punted from my ubuntu 8.04 server and I can't log back in with putty.  I can log in from the server itsself using the same user etc.  I restarted ssh server. but no luck.  How to I troiuble shoot this?
[08:36] <lolo> screen says 'unknown'
[08:36] <LoRdRapTuReZ> spirited, its all in etc inside the file system
[08:36] <ratbox> even a server install??
[08:36] <constantine> binarymutant: I'm trying that, but i got that strange error
[08:36] <binarymutant> optraz, your not making sense sorry
[08:36] <spirited> arquebus: Ok this is netbeans but it is giving me a choice.
[08:36] <binarymutant> constantine, whats the error in File-> Save as ?
[08:36] <spirited> It wants to default to /home/todd/netbeans-6.5
[08:36] <lolo> what can I do?
[08:36] <rip_> !slax
[08:37] <LogicFan> ratbox, what kind of server?
[08:37] <dmphotography> Can a folder and it's files have multiple owners?
[08:37] <spirited> just do it?
[08:37] <arquebus> spirited- are you intalling netbeans from aptitude or are you using a deb file?
[08:37] <lianimator> who should be the owner of /tmp and what mod?
[08:37] <optraz> which file that get install when we do the upgrade?
[08:37] <constantine> binarymutant: The folder contents could not be displayed (and beneath that:) Error stating file '/etc/utils': No such file or directory
[08:37] <spirited> its that .sh file I downloaded.
[08:37] <rip_> ratbox: if you cant get 2 network cards in it you can turn it into an overpowered router with smoothwall :)
[08:37] <ratbox> Well, I meant a ubuntu server install, though I might use this a web server...
[08:37] <rip_> can*
[08:37] <binarymutant> constantine, save it to your desktop
[08:38] <arquebus> spirited-netbeans is in the repos, just install it from aptititude
[08:38] <spirited> and did chmod on to turn into an executable.
[08:38] <ratbox> OOOOH, ethernet to dial-up and serial net server!!!!
[08:38] <ratbox> and she's got to dual-boot with Windows 3.1....
[08:38] <rip_> ratbox: smoothwall > .... whatever its competition is :)
[08:38] <dmphotography> Anyone?  Can a folder and it's files have multiple owners?
[08:38] <LogicFan> ratbox, even the ubuntu alternate install requires more memory than those specs
[08:39] <spirited> oh lord I don't even know what aptititude is..
[08:39] <nightrid3r> dmphotography no
[08:39] <dmphotography> nightrid3r: Thank you.
[08:39] <B10S> http://wiki.cihar.com/pma/ubuntu
[08:39] <rww> dmphotography: no. the normal thing to do would be to make a group with multiple users in it and assign the file to the group
[08:39] <spirited> or what you mean by its in repos
[08:39] <noogie> #counter-server on gamesnet.net
[08:39] <ratbox> damn, she runs blueflops ooff of two floppy disks to RAM....
[08:39] <ratbox> I check out smoothwall, too, though...
[08:39] <constantine> binarymutant: ok I got it, now how do I chgmod and ./ ?
[08:39] <newmember> ratbox: pfsense is alternative to smoothwall
[08:39] <dmphotography> rww: Thank you!
[08:39] <LogicFan> i would stick to something optimized for those specs, if you need server and it sounds like you're familiar/comfortable with the commandline anyway, might as well install a BSD or use a server-purpose specific distro like smoothwall
[08:39] <arquebus> spirited-repositories, you should install everything from aptitude, just go into system>install packages
[08:40] <arquebus> spirited, you can screw things up in ubuntu by installing stuff not in the repos
[08:40] <LogicFan> ratbox, or m0n0wall
[08:40] <rip_> LogicFan: mouse plugged directly into usb, deleted and recreated the vbox, same result :-/
[08:40] <constantine> btw you guys are really doing great on here I never would have gotten this far without this channel
[08:40] <prince_jammys> lianimator: owner should be root, mode should be 7777
[08:40] <noogie> All: has anyone ever setup a counterstrike game server on ubuntu?
[08:40] <binarymutant> constantine, open a terminal, `cd ~/Desktop`, `chmod +x alsa-info.sh` `./alsa-info.sh`
[08:40] <spirited> Ok good however there is no system>install packages.
[08:40] <lolo> hello can someone help with my problem - I can't get my display to be 1024x768 - I have a samsung 740bf lcd monitor
[08:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> binarymutant, are you ther
[08:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> waiting for you
[08:41] <spirited> There is applications>Add/Remove
[08:41] <binarymutant> LoRdRapTuReZ, I don't think you've asked me a question...
[08:41] <LogicFan> rip_, sorry, my advice runs out here.  google or virtualbox forums probably be your best bet
[08:41] <arquebus> spirited, Im in windows, I cant remember, its in the preferences menu or something
[08:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i need a guideness
[08:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> binarymutant,
[08:41] <myownserver> oh
[08:41] <rip_> LogicFan: actually, it just started work,ing, i think i found a minor bug, after i checked the "dont ask me again" box it works.  apparently the "start capturing" button does nothing
[08:41] <binarymutant> LoRdRapTuReZ, are you RJN?
[08:42] <Dartel> Evening / Morning All
[08:42] <arquebus> spirited, ok that should work
[08:42] <LoRdRapTuReZ> yup
[08:42] <LogicFan> rip_, nice :)
[08:42] <LoRdRapTuReZ> me is RJN
[08:42] <binarymutant> the name change would be confusing just so you know
[08:42] <LoRdRapTuReZ> oo ok
[08:42] <spirited> does anyone else know what he is talking about?:)
[08:42] <LoRdRapTuReZ> sorry for that
[08:42] <tweak66> where is my /mnt/sdx?
[08:42] <Dartel> Is there any reason why Linux will mount one USB Flash drive but not another?
[08:42] <binarymutant> LoRdRapTuReZ, `scp -r rjn@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/rjn/folder .`
[08:43] <arquebus> does anyone know where to find aptitude?
[08:43] <constantine> binarymutant: you rock thanks a lot!
[08:43] <LoRdRapTuReZ> izzit from my machine or the XPC
[08:43] <rww> spirited: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[08:43] <binarymutant> constantine, glad that worked
[08:43] <arquebus> thanks rww
[08:43] <rww> arquebus: aptitude is a command-line application. it's not in gnome-menu
[08:43] <spirited> Ok thanks looking into it.
[08:43] <lolo> hello can someone help with my problem pls - I can't get my display to be 1024x768 - I have a samsung 740bf lcd monitor
[08:43] <noogie> Anyone: whats the best multiplayer game on linux right now???
[08:44] <arquebus> rww-ok, I thought the commandline was apt-getr
[08:44] <nightrid3r> lolo what video card
[08:44] <LogicFan> noogie, define best
[08:44] <ratbox> Well smoothwall wants too much of my little AT&T, but it's great for my caching servers...
[08:44] <noogie> logicfan: in your opinion
[08:44] <prince_jammys> lianimator: sorry, mode should be 1777
[08:44] <LogicFan> what kind of multiplayer game?
[08:44] <LogicFan> mmorpg?  fps?
[08:45] <lolo> nightrid3r, openchrome driver - using via chip
[08:45] <noogie> logicfan, either one of those actully, thos two are my fav
[08:45] <LoRdRapTuReZ> nope
[08:45] <LoRdRapTuReZ> its cant work
[08:45] <binarymutant> noogie, its hard to answer an opinion
[08:45] <arquebus> noogie- sauerbraten or urban terror
[08:45] <LogicFan> well, the most popular mmorpg (WoW) works perfectly with linux using wine
[08:45] <binarymutant> noogie, Open Arena
[08:46] <noogie> binarymutant: i guess, what game is most like Counterstrike
[08:46] <spirited> ha! ok... I think I'm getting it.
[08:46] <binarymutant> noogie, urban terror
[08:46] <spirited> I will try to tell you if/before my system explodes which I don't think will happen.:)
[08:46] <nightrid3r> lolo can you chan it with system -- preferences -- screen resolution
[08:46] <Dartel> Is there any reason why Linux will mount one USB Flash drive but not another? One is a very cheap 16 gig verbatim (Works), Other is a 4 Gig Lexar (wont Mount) and it has all my personal stuff on it from when I was using windoze
[08:46] <noogie> binarymutant: im gonna check it out, ty
[08:47] <hbekel> noogie: assaultcube is nice, too
[08:47] <noogie> hbekel: ty, ill check that out also
[08:47] <ratbox> Just downloaded smoothwall-express-3.0 for the caching server, the 486 lappie needs something else, though...
[08:47] <spirited> so I can delete that netbeans.sh file?
[08:47] <LogicFan> off to bed, night all
[08:47] <lolo> nightrid3r, no - screen is not identified
[08:48] <spirited> night LogicFan
[08:48] <arquebus> spirited- yes, dont try and install anything in ubuntu outside of the package manager
[08:48] <noogie> binarymutant: is there an apt-get command for urban terro
[08:48] <ratbox> ...anyways, thanks so much for the smoothwall suggestion Logic...
[08:48] <lolo> nightrid3r, only shows 800x600 and 640x480
[08:48] <nightrid3r> lolo ok let me check something
[08:48] <ratbox> night LogicFan
[08:48] <binarymutant> noogie, there are some license issues with it so no
[08:49] <ratbox> brb
[08:49] <noogie> binarymutant: meaning its not free?
[08:49] <binarymutant> noogie, it's free as in beer but not free as in speech
[08:49] <spirited> arquebus: Ok for example I was using firefox to look for apps I needed, found them and downloaded them and then clicked on them to install... they were .deb files <--- so that is a no no?
[08:50] <noogie> binarymutant: hmm...i have yet to understand
[08:50] <Schalken> !bluetooth
[08:50] <arquebus> spirited- a few deb file installs are ok, but pretty much anything in linux you will find already in the ubuntu repos that you install with the package manager
[08:50] <nightrid3r> lolo https://wiki.ubuntu.com/800x600%20video%20mode check the monitor mode and screen sections
[08:50] <K-Rich> arquebus: don't forget checkinstall
[08:50] <binarymutant> noogie, its free as in it costs nothing, but it's proprietary
[08:51] <arquebus> K-Rich-never heard of it
[08:51] <noogie> binarymutant: i c, only their team can work on the source?
[08:51] <spirited> So what is the differance between add/remove and Synaptic Package Manager?
[08:51] <binarymutant> noogie, right
[08:51] <ratbox> back
[08:51] <arquebus> spirited- add/remove just has some commonly used apps for easy install, there is no difference really
[08:51] <spirited> It seems like two things that do the same things.
[08:52] <spirited> Oh ic.
[08:52] <K-Rich> arquebus: it makes debs from sources 'sudo make && sudo make checkinstall' creates a deb to install rather than a 'sudo make install'
[08:52] <noogie> synaptics requires root pass?
[08:52] <spirited> Well I have to admit so far I really like Ubuntu.
[08:52] <binarymutant> noogie, ya
[08:52] <arquebus> K-Rich-ok, thx, didnt know that
[08:52] <ratbox> had to get some heat it's 48^F in here...
[08:53] <ratbox> damnit, need to check on smoothwall, brb
[08:53] <spirited> So I could find and install Wine in the same way using Synaptic Package Manager?
[08:53] <Dartel> Is there any reason why Linux will mount one USB Flash drive but not another? One is a very cheap 16 gig verbatim (Works), Other is a 4 Gig Lexar (wont Mount) and it has all my personal stuff on it from when I was using windoze
[08:53] <arquebus> spirited: yes
[08:53] <Flannel> spirited: Yep
[08:53] <spirited> ha!
[08:53] <Flannel> !wine | spirited
[08:53] <binarymutant> Dartel, probably a filesystem problem
[08:53] <K-Rich> arquebus: http://www.asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ makes it easyer to install packages not in repos
[08:53] <Flannel> spirited: That wiki page will run you through some steps you have to do to use wine after you install it
[08:53] <ikonia> Dartel: it's called "windows"
[08:54] <CC40> Ciao
[08:54] <ikonia> Dartel: sometimes drive won't mount if the disk label contains special chars, what is the disk label on it ?
[08:54] <Flannel> !checkinstall | K-Rich, arquebus
[08:54] <Dartel> Any suggestions on a fix?
[08:54] <arquebus> K-Rich: thanks, that could come in handly, I like to install a lot of obscure stuff
[08:54] <binarymutant> Dartel, reformat it to use ext3
[08:54] <K-Rich> arquebus: same here
[08:55] <Dartel> I forget, and it just shows USB Drive, But I concidered this tried to rename it and got error not supported by backend or something
[08:55] <Dartel> I have my Life history in resume's on it I cant format
[08:56] <binarymutant> Dartel, it probably uses ntfs, back it up on a different computer and then reformat it, etc
[08:56] <ikonia> Dartel: what file system is on it ?
[08:56] <ikonia> Dartel: have you tried to manually mount it ?
[08:56] <Dartel> Will try, soon as I can get access to another system TY
[08:56] <chronographer> anyone have an ipod classic? if so how do you manage it from Ubuntu?
[08:56] <Dartel> I do not know how
[08:56] <ikonia> Dartel: you dont need access to another system yet
[08:56] <ikonia> Dartel: ok - no problem, lets see if we can find it
[08:57] <ikonia> Dartel: remove your usb device from your system
[08:57] <ikonia> Dartel: open an applicaton terminal window from the "applications -> accessories" menu
[08:57] <ikonia> Dartel: say when ready
[08:57] <noogie> how do i setup a free mailserver for my domain?
[08:57] <ikonia> noogie: are you on a home broadband connection ?
[08:57] <noogie> yea
[08:57] <ikonia> noogie: then I advise not to do it, and to use your mail server's isp
[08:57] <spirited> So what keeps you guys from pulling your hair out when noobs like me come in asking so many redundent questions?:)
[08:58] <binarymutant> spirited, drugs
[08:58] <binarymutant> :P
[08:58] <spirited> roflmao
[08:58] <ikonia> spirited: I try to think about not calling them "noobs" and showing them a little more patience than mocking them
[08:58] <noogie> Ikonia: but i want my email to be<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:58] <ikonia> spirited: everyone has to learn
[08:58] <ikonia> noogie: then you don't need to host it yourself
[08:58] <niyado> hello need help, how can i install a wireless driver in ubuntustudio? i cant get wireless this is very frustrating...
[08:59] <ikonia> noogie: most networks will blacklist any home DSL connections running mail servers as potential spam host, so your mail will rarley get out
[08:59] <ratbox> Smoothwall is installing on a Micron 1GHz
[08:59] <binarymutant> niyado, what's the hardware?
[08:59] <spirited> Well I remember a time when a friend tried to install Linux Redhat and he got on the irc channel and asked for help and everyone said "RTFM"
[08:59] <ikonia> ratbox: why are you telling us ? this is ubuntu support
[08:59] <binarymutant> spirited, thats the difference between Ubuntu and every other distro out there
[08:59] <noogie> ikonia: oh...how do get my domain name in my email ?
[08:59] <spirited> I'm glad to see this is not like that.
[08:59] <binarymutant> me 2
[09:00] <ikonia> noogie: you need your ISP to host your mail for you, and forrward to a mail account of your choice (best solution)
[09:00] <ratbox> sorry just excited that's all, I needed a suggestion for a caching server so badly...
[09:00] <nightrid3r> noogie postfix with smarthost for outgoing mail, but your home broadband provider might be blocking incoming smtp(port 25)
[09:00] <noogie> nightrider: i asked my isp, they dont block any ports
[09:01] <wildbat> do you know how to fix lid button on my liptop? my laptop's lid button won't work until i suspend or powersaving timer turn off the screen once.....Compaq nc6320
[09:01] <noogie> nightrider: i am hosting my own apache webserver right now on my comp
[09:01] <ikonia> noogie: I strongly advise you to just get your ISP/domain register to set a catch all email address to forward to your current working email address
[09:01] <ikonia> noogie: it will make life a lot lot easier for you
[09:02] <Dartel_> Sorry syste locks up alot
[09:02] <noogie> ikonia: i looked by dyndns.com, which registared my domain name, doesnt setup up email hosting as far as i can tell
[09:02] <noogie> ikonia: i think i said that wrong
[09:02] <spirited> Excellent! I got my Netbeans back!
[09:02] <Dartel_> I have Net Cornbread lets have dinner
[09:03] <K-Rich> lol
[09:03] <noogie> Ikonia: i registered my domain with dyndns.com, but i dont think they have an services for email
[09:03] <ikonia> noogie: dyndns.com,
[09:03] <noogie> ikonia: yea
[09:03] <ikonia> noogie: the title of the website is "dns web and mail hosting"
[09:03] <ikonia> http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/forward.html
[09:03] <Dartel_> Now someone was trying to assist me befor my computer passed out?
[09:03] <spirited> haha
[09:04] <noogie> ikonia: i cant seem to figure it out then
[09:04] <noogie> Ikonia: i know they do some stuff with email, but it doesnt look like what i want
[09:04] <ikonia> noogie: then you've got no chance of running your own mail server if you can't work that out
[09:04] <noogie> ikonia: doh! i better look harder
[09:04] <ikonia> noogie: look at "mailhop forward"
[09:04] <noogie> ikonia: ty
[09:04] <ikonia> noogie: forward email addresses to a email address of your choice
[09:05] <ikonia> noogie: seems pretty clear to me
[09:05] <ikonia> noogie: that's a direct quote from the website
[09:05] <noogie> ikonia: but how do i send email with that address
[09:05] <ikonia> noogie: http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/forward.html
[09:05] <kraut> moin
[09:05] <ikonia> noogie: same way you are currently sending email, just put your "from" and "reply" to address in your mail client

[09:06] <ikonia> noogie: you set it in your client

[09:26] <Dartel_> ikonia: not working
[09:26] <niyado> yup , i add that becouse in ubuntu studio it dont comes as default
[09:26] <binarymutant> niyado, it should look like a computer I think

[09:27] <ikonia> Dartel_: no - I asked what did it say when you did the mount command
[09:27] <binarymutant> niyado, right click on it, and 'enable wireless'
[09:27] <niyado> but i cant there are 2 tabs
[09:27] <ikonia> Neku: you just delete the partition
[09:27] <niyado> i dont se that

[09:27] <Dartel_> did not say anything went to d-desktop:~$
[09:27] <ikonia> Neku: any partition manager
[09:27] <badserii> Hi! I just changed system language to greek. I can't move back to english locale. KDM is in greek, pidgin, firefox also are in greek, even if I deleted greek language and set the system language to english. Is it a bug? How can I solve my problem? Thank you in advance!
[09:27] <Neku> ikonia : kk
[09:27] <niyado> i know what u mean but in this ubuntu studio version is not like in the original ubuntu :(
[09:27] <ikonia> Dartel_: ok - so now if you go to /mnt if your file system, you should be able to see your drive
[09:28] <Dartel_> one sec
[09:28] <binarymutant> niyado, give me a sec
[09:28] <niyado> okis
[09:29] <hbekel> Dartel_: if a command doesn't output anything it usually means it was successful
[09:29] <Dartel_> ikonia: Many blessings upon you and your desendent's it worked
[09:29] <binarymutant> niyado, in the terminal do this `sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome`
[09:29] <ikonia> Dartel_: happy your working
[09:30] <Sonorous|2> ^5
[09:30] <Dartel_> Believe it or not though I am a noob I have fixed a few things with out comming here.. this is a last stop when I can not figure it out myself
[09:30] <Neku> anyone able to recommend a bootable partition manager
[09:30] <ikonia> Neku: `any linux live cd
[09:30] <niyado> ok i install that
[09:30] <niyado> now what?
[09:31] <niyado> system restart
[09:31] <niyado> brb
[09:31] <Neku> ikonia : cant find my old one
[09:31] <binarymutant> niyado, now `nm-applet`
[09:31] <Dartel_> After you help Neku have one more question
[09:31] <niyado> i think i should restart
[09:31] <binarymutant> niyado, you don't need to
[09:31] <ikonia> Neku: get a new one
[09:31] <niyado> a tooltip pop up
[09:31] <niyado> ok
[09:32] <Neku> ikonia : thts like 700mb
[09:32] <niyado> jajajja
[09:32] <niyado> awesome
[09:32] <nucc1> ikonia: thanks :)
[09:32] <ikonia> Neku: what do you want me to do - you want me to offer you one that you already have ?
[09:32] <niyado> lets c if work
[09:32] <ikonia> nucc1: if yo uhave to "get" one - you'll need to get one,
[09:32] <ikonia> nucc1 sorry - not you
[09:32] <binarymutant> niyado, right click on it and 'enable wireless'
[09:32] <nucc1> he he
[09:32] <ikonia> Neku: if you have to "get" one - you'll need to get one,
[09:32] <quibbler> Dartel_: just ask maybe someone else can answer
[09:33] <Neku> dosent the partition manager for ubuntu have a bootable disk version
[09:33] <anarchman1> Is anyone else dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows on an IBM laptop?
[09:33] <ikonia> anarchman1: just ask the question about the problem
[09:33] <ikonia> Neku: why are you asking me - that "bootable version" your talking about is just a live linux cd
[09:33] <ikonia> Neku: look around for one
[09:34] <anarchman1> ikonia: I tried that the other night I was here, but ok, the thing is this question has been asked a lot on the forums and no one has answered them, but it has been related to having an IBM laptop apparently
[09:34] <Neku> ikonia : i am
[09:34] <drew_> how do i change themes in kde 4.2?
[09:34] <ikonia> anarchman1: then we can't help if you don't ask
[09:34] <Dartel_> I have only a 6 gig hard drive is there a way to run Ubuntu from the drive but use the 16 gig flash drive as the main drive where everything is run from to save space?
[09:34] <ikonia> Dartel_: sure, the flash drive is just a "disk"
[09:34] <ikonia> Dartel_: just install to that disk
[09:35] <anarchman1> I am getting an unmountable boot volume error when trying to boot Windows. I have Win XP installed first, installed Ubuntu using live cd, had it partition for me. Have not been able to boot into Windows since then without BSOD and unmountable boot volume error. Ubuntu boots fine
[09:35] <spirited> Looking at/for good 3d shooters and MMOs for Linux/Ubuntu using google.
[09:35] <ikonia> anarchman1: take it to ##windows
[09:35] <ikonia> anarchman1: not a linux problem
[09:35] <binarymutant> spirited, openarena
[09:35] <Dartel_> Great.. was afraid it would need to be on the same physical drive as Linux
[09:35] <anarchman1> ikonia: technically it is a problem with the Ubuntu partition manager or grub
[09:36] <ikonia> anarchman1: no it's not
[09:36] <ikonia> anarchman1: it's a problem with windows
[09:36] <ikonia> anarchman1: a well known one
[09:36] <tweak66> windows itself is a well known problem
[09:36] <Dartel_> LOL
[09:36] <anarchman1> ikonia: you are quite rude
[09:36] <anarchman1> ikonia: if you don't want to help that is fine
[09:36] <smokerings> welcome to irc
[09:37] <anarchman1> ikonia: but please don't push your ideology on me
[09:37] <ikonia> anarchman1: I'm not being rude, I'm explaining the problem
[09:37]  * Dartel_ sighs
[09:37] <ikonia> anarchman1: it's a known issue with windows, if it's not chkdisked/defragged well before installing, it's very common
[09:37] <tweak66> true
[09:37] <anarchman1> ikonia: it was a brand new windows install on a brand new machine
[09:38] <ikonia> anarchman1: so ?
[09:38] <anarchman1> ikonia: so you don't have fragmentation on a disk that hasn't been used very much
[09:38] <noogie> does ubuntu come with KDE or GNOME?
[09:38] <jpds> noogie: GNOME.
[09:38] <noogie> k
[09:38] <ikonia> anarchman1: I didn't say you had fragmentation, I said it's a known problem if the disk is not chkdisked and / or defragged before install
[09:39] <noogie> jpds: why are their KDE packages in the add/remove applications?
[09:39] <tweak66> because they work
[09:39] <jpds> !kubuntu | noogie
[09:39] <anarchman1> ikonia: It was chkdsk'd the day before I installed and it didn't have fragmentation because it was a brand new install, perhaps you are referring to a different problem, but your suggestions don't apply to this problem, or are quite weird if they do
[09:39] <fosco_> noogie: cause you can install kde if you want
[09:39] <cih997> hi, i use firestarter as firewall. It's strange: when I turn on firewall there's no active connection and activity is 0kbps, but when i turn it off active connection is still nothing but activity is more than my internet connection (i got 60KBps but activity is 180KBps). How can I check what is that making this activity ?
[09:39] <tweak66> i do not have kde installed, am using gnome, and some apps do work
[09:39] <ikonia> anarchman1: it's a known issue - either way, "windows starts to boot and BSOD" = windows problem, please join ##windows
[09:39] <noogie> all: but the KDE packages wont work if you have the GNOME desktop running?
[09:39] <rip_> noogie: they will work just fine in gnome granted you have the needed kde files installed too.  linux is linux
[09:40] <noogie> rip: oh, ok
[09:40] <rip_> noogie: however its best practice to stick with programs intended for gnome, but ones for kde are not off limits by any means
[09:40] <Fruzen> help me please
[09:40]  * rip_ helps Fruzen
[09:40] <anarchman1> ikonia: wow, you are counter-productive.  By your logic, if I install Windows after installing Ubuntu and then can no longer boot Ubuntu then that is an Ubuntu problem.
[09:41] <kukuchopra> anyone has cedega?
[09:41] <Dartel_> beat me to it rip
[09:41] <tweak66> lmao @rip_
[09:41] <Fruzen> when I type ./configure .. it tells me
[09:41] <rip_> lol
[09:41] <Fruzen> NO GCC
[09:41] <Fruzen> NO CC
[09:41] <kukuchopra> can i install direcx on 8.10?
[09:41] <tweak66> heh
[09:41] <zaggynl> heh++;
[09:41] <tweak66> where to begin
[09:41] <zaggynl> wine
[09:41] <zaggynl> nothing else, don't install directx
[09:41] <Jahman> do you know a gnome translator applet?
[09:41] <kukuchopra> error when i do wid wine
[09:42] <ikonia> anarchman1: nope
[09:42] <zaggynl> what does it say
[09:42] <Fruzen> Jahman no ;/
[09:42] <kukuchopra> something with indows folder
[09:42] <ikonia> anarchman1: if you install windows and you can't boot linux any more, that needs grub re-installing, which we'll help you through
[09:42] <Fruzen> I am new at Linux
[09:42] <kukuchopra> windows*
[09:42] <zaggynl> kukuchopra: could you be more specific
[09:42] <Fruzen> VPS
[09:42] <tweak66> !grub
[09:42] <rip_> Fruzen: welcome to ubuntu then :)
[09:42] <ikonia> anarchman1: why would a kernel developer be up on issue with windows ?
[09:43] <anarchman1> ikonia: I'm sorry that you don't see the fallacy in your logic.  I will just go back to Windows
[09:44] <ikonia> anarchman1: ok
[09:44] <anarchman1> Dartel_: I was not berating, I was being berated
[09:44] <rip_> zaggynl: windows only bsods because its jealous of what is on the other partition
[09:44] <ikonia> rip_: please don't make issues like that - it's nonsense
[09:44] <Fruzen> guys please help me..
[09:45] <ikonia> Fruzen: what's up ?
[09:45] <Fruzen> ikonia what I have to do?
[09:45] <anarchman1> if you want to attack me just for trying to use Windows that is fine, all I wanted to do was ask a question, and I am being teamed up on by group think, that will never do well to try to convert people to Ubuntu
[09:45] <anarchman1> good day
[09:45] <ikonia> Fruzen: for what
[09:45] <kukuchopra> linux is better than windows than performance
[09:45] <kukuchopra> and appearence
[09:46] <Chousuke> kukuchopra: this channel isn't for comparisons :/
[09:46]  * Dartel_ prays for patience with the frusterated and foolish
[09:46] <Chousuke> support only.
[09:46] <Fruzen> ikonia, when I tyoe ./configure theres an error and they tell me "NO GCC, NO CC, NO CL"
[09:46] <ikonia> Fruzen: what are you trying to build ?
[09:46] <Fruzen> IRCd bahamut
[09:46] <Chousuke> Fruzen: aptitude install build-essential ?
[09:47] <rip_> except its 3:45 am, sometimes we get off track :-P
[09:47] <tweak66> 4:47 here
[09:47] <Fruzen> Chousuke, I dont know what I have to do..
[09:47] <Gnea> Dartel_: we get people like that once in awhile. they're sad and very rare, thankfully.
[09:47] <Fruzen> I am new
[09:47] <rip_> is there a generic ubuntu chat channel, that isnt for support?
[09:47] <ikonia> Fruzen: there are many ircd daemons in he repos
[09:47] <ikonia> rip_: #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:47]  * Dartel_ hands Rip a Coffee (__)D
[09:47] <tweak66> ubuntu-offtopic
[09:47] <Dartel_> I noticed Gnea
[09:48] <ikonia> Fruzen: if you open the package manager and search for "ircd" you'll find many IRC daemons waiting
[09:48] <tweak66> ikonia : synaptic?
[09:48] <ikonia> tweak66: if that's your package manager, yes
[09:48] <Dartel_> I can not wait to get a quad core system and see how Linux does on it
[09:48] <ikonia> Dartel_: same a a single or dual core
[09:49] <Chousuke> Fruzen: why not install it from the repos?
[09:49] <Gnea> Dartel_: but, you can't help everyone. you can try, and that's about as good as it gets. for every 1 person that feels like they've been backstabbed, there's another 1000+ that has the patience to push on.
[09:49] <Dartel_> Oh it does not utilize all cores?
[09:49] <ikonia> Dartel_: yes it does
[09:49] <Gnea> Dartel_: that would be pretty sweet
[09:49] <Fruzen> rip_, so what I have to do ?
[09:50] <rip_> Fruzen: i'm still reading up, trying to figure out what you need, i missed that line
[09:50] <Dartel_> Gnea:  Some people are to frusterated to listen by time they come for help
[09:50] <rip_> Fruzen: oh you're just trying to install some programs? brand new to linux as of within the last day or two i assume?
[09:50] <ikonia> Fruzen: open the package manager, search for "ircd" and install one of the IRC daemons from the repos
[09:50] <Dartel_> Ok.. Cause I wanted to run some @home stuff and heard Linux uses more resources for it
[09:50] <Gnea> Dartel_: yeah, and not everyone appreciates having selected absolute facts shoved in their faces
[09:51] <Myrtti> Fruzen: type "aptitude search ircd"
[09:51]  * Gnea seems to recall @home as an ISP
[09:51] <Fruzen> gusy I may install a lot of things in the future..
[09:51] <Fruzen> it tells me that there no C Compiler
[09:51] <ikonia> Fruzen: you do'nt need one
[09:51] <ikonia> Fruzen: use the package from the ubuntu package manager
[09:52] <ikonia> Fruzen: they are built for you
[09:52] <Myrtti> Fruzen: but why do you need c compiler if you have ubuntu and you can install ircd from the package manager?
[09:52] <rip_> Fruzen: starting from the beginning, are you familiar at all with synaptic or the add/remove button in applications?
[09:52] <Dartel_> Gnea: It has always amazed me that those with out the answers are quick to say anothers answer is wrong.
[09:52] <Fruzen> ikonia, but I need built essential...
[09:52] <Gnea> Fruzen: there's a reason that many irc daemons are already packaged for ubuntu.
[09:52] <ikonia> Fruzen: no
[09:52] <Myrtti> Fruzen: type in "aptitude search ircd"
[09:52] <rip_> guys i dont think Fruzen realizes the power of ubuntu repositories, i'm getting the feeling he's used to having to compile source
[09:52] <ikonia> Fruzen: open the package manager - search for the phrase "ircd" you'll see a list of IRC daemons software, install one
[09:52] <ikonia> Fruzen: they are built for you so you don't have to
[09:53] <Myrtti> rip_: hold on, we have something else in mind ;-)
[09:53] <ikonia> rip_: he can't be used to compiling from source he's new to linux
[09:53] <Gnea> Fruzen: why do you need to compile your ircd?
[09:53] <Fruzen> ikonia, I have VPS - Ubunto 6.10
[09:53] <Dartel_> I am using Xchat is there better?
[09:53] <ikonia> Fruzen: there are pre-built IRC daemons in the ubuntu software repositories
[09:53] <rip_> ikonia: ah, touche hehe
[09:53] <tweak66> yes there are
[09:53] <tweak66> lots of them
[09:53] <ikonia> Fruzen: search for them in the package manager
[09:53] <tweak66> it's so easy
[09:53] <Gnea> Fruzen: 6.10 is a bit old, you should consider upgrading to 8.04
[09:54] <tweak66> 8.1 even
[09:54] <Dartel_> Even I could do it and I am almost as smart as a Geico Caveman
[09:54] <tweak66> beats me dartel
[09:54] <Gnea> Dartel_: I'm an irssi+screen person
[09:54] <Myrtti> Fruzen: check for me, please, what do you get if you type in "lsb_release -r"
[09:55] <Gnea> some people like the GUI of an irc client - i could never get the hang of it, but whatever floats your boat
[09:55] <Dartel_> Gnea that makes you true Admin material for sure :-)
[09:55]  * Dartel_ ducks
[09:55] <Gnea> Dartel_: what do you mean?
[09:56] <Dartel_> running shell for IRC
[09:57] <Gnea> been doing it for years
[09:58] <binarymutant> lol irssi is easy
[09:58] <Dartel_> Your run split screen?
[09:58] <parveenks> ttt
[09:58] <Mattias> Anyone has any idea on how to search and replace for a string in several files in a dir and its subdirs?
[09:58] <binarymutant> try sic from suckless
[09:58] <Gnea> of course :)
[09:58] <Mattias> some bash command perhaps?
[09:58] <binarymutant> suckless.org*
[09:58] <Gnea> Mattias: perl -pi -e 's/onething/anotherthing/g' ./*
[09:58] <Dartel_> I am lazy give me a default IRC program like Mirc Xchat and I am happy LOL
[09:58] <tweak66> i hate xchat lol
[09:59] <Myrtti> can we keep offtopic somewhere else, please
[09:59] <Mattias> Gnea, thanks
[09:59] <tweak66> sorry myrtti
[09:59] <tweak66> i will go now
[09:59]  * Dartel_ goes back to his corner and watches the room
[09:59] <Gnea> Mattias: not sure that that'll traverse... might need to:  find . -type f -exec perl -pi -e 's/onething/anotherthing/g' {} \;
[10:00] <Myrtti> Fruzen: did you get that lsb_release -r already?
[10:00] <Mattias> Gnea, it's on a web hosting server thats running linux, going through via ssh
[10:00] <Mattias> checking if they allow perl first though
[10:00] <Mattias> or if there is perl installed
[10:01] <Gnea> Mattias: then you should check it on your end, first
[10:01] <hbekel> Mattias: note that "onething" is a regexp in Gnea's command
[10:01] <Gnea> most modern distributions have perl
[10:02] <Gnea> Mattias: are you familiar with how regexps work?
[10:02] <Mattias> Gnea, yeah, learned some when I tried Ruby out a long time ago ^.^
[10:02] <Gnea> Mattias: good :)
[10:03] <hbekel> Mattias: omit the -i switch (inplace edit) for testing. you can also use -ibak to have the original files renamed to orig.bak for safety
[10:04] <faria_786> hi all
[10:04] <faria_786> how are u
[10:04] <Myrtti> !hi | faria_786
[10:05] <faria_786> thanx
[10:05] <faria_786> ubottu
[10:06] <january> Hello. Quick question: how do I find out the version of Ubuntu that I am using?
[10:06] <ziroday> january: lsb_releas 0a
[10:06] <ziroday> january: err lsb_release -a sorry
[10:06] <TheMayo> wtf is unbuntu?
[10:06] <dayo> in firefox u can click the mouseWheel to open a link in a new tab. any idea how to set this functionality in Seamonkey?
[10:06] <january> "No LSB modules available"
[10:06] <ziroday> TheMayo: did you mispell that or are you referring to a project here?
[10:06] <TheMayo> mispell
[10:06] <cpk1> january: "cat /etc/lsb-release"
[10:07] <TheMayo> whats this place all about?
[10:07] <Mattias> hbekel, thanks ^.^
[10:07] <ziroday> !ubuntu | TheMayo
[10:07] <dayo> !ubotty | faria_786
[10:07] <dayo> !ubottu | faria_786
[10:07] <january> Thanks. I tried the old uname / motd stuf.. maybe I'm too old for this :-)
[10:07] <TheMayo> !ubuntu | TheMayo
[10:08] <Guest4464> \list
[10:08] <Mattias> Gnea, the find . -type... version is the one I should use right? instead of the first version with just a perl command
[10:08] <dayo> damn. did we accidentally get ubottu blocked?
[10:09] <mentr> join #amahi
[10:09] <ziroday> dayo: its fine, it will get itself unmangled with the floodbots :)
[10:09] <mentr> woops misclick
[10:09] <Jewbacca> i want to edit xorg.conf, what is the cmd for that?
[10:10] <Jewbacca> no i have different question
[10:10] <MadsRH1> I get "input signal out of range" from my LCD when I try to run Tux Kart or Tux Racer in fullscreen (which it does default). Can anyone tell me how i change to resolution or view the game in a window?
[10:10] <Jewbacca> why on "Screen Resolution" i can set 50hz and on nvidia x servers settings i can set 60
[10:10] <january> I have another question. Apparently, I run Intrepid Ibex / 8.10. Now, I have just found out that Skype is not working. It's the "Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi" bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/273693). I am confused, I tried the provided workorounds, w/o success, and I need Skype working by afternoon. What do I do?
[10:10] <dayo> ziroday: oh, okay lol
[10:11] <january> (yeah, downgrading to 8.04 seems to be an option, as I remember having Skype working with 8.04)
[10:11] <Modus> hey guys
[10:11] <dayo> linux in general is in dire need of a browser to replace the res-hog that is ff3. see u guys later :-)
[10:11] <january> dayo: use Opera
[10:11] <january> :-)
[10:12] <dimitrius> good morning
[10:12] <travian_geek> how can I make a regex that replaces the last "/" in a path way to nothing
[10:12] <january> dimitrius: hey, did you provide the workarounds for the problem with Skype / pulse -audio?
[10:12] <dimitrius> nope not me
[10:13] <Modus> is there a way to use a programmer's calculator in the terminal, that displays results in hex, decimal, and binary all at once?
[10:13] <january> pity :-)
[10:13] <ikonia> Modus: does BC have flags ?
[10:14] <TheMayo> how does ubuntu do with downloading torrents etc?
[10:14] <Modus> ikonia: don't know. I'm new to ubuntu and linux
[10:14] <Jewbacca> why on nvidia settings i cant save it to xorg.conf ?
[10:15] <ziroday> TheMayo: what are you looking for?
[10:15] <ziroday> TheMayo: and what app are you currently using?
[10:15] <TheMayo> windows 7
[10:15] <dimitrius> open it with sudo
[10:15] <ikonia> Modus: try bc
[10:15] <TheMayo> use utorrent to download torrents
[10:16] <Chousuke> there are many torrent apps for linux
[10:16] <ziroday> TheMayo: well utorrent can run with wine under linux. Deluge is very similar. There is also vuze and others
[10:16] <ziroday> !torrent | TheMayo
[10:16] <TheMayo> !p2p

[10:16] <TheMayo> and ubuntu will connect my net again no worries?
[10:16] <january> Anyone here has problems using Skype? Or had problems using skype?
[10:17] <Fruzen> GUYS HOW TO INSTALL BUILD-ESSENTIAL!!!!!!
[10:17] <SunnyDP> apt-get install
[10:17] <ziroday> TheMayo: you can test it out with a livecd.
[10:17] <ziroday> Fruzen: sudo apt-get install build-essential. Please don't use caps.
[10:19] <giaco> hello!
[10:19] <cpk1> is there a way to kill a zombie if -9 doesnt do it?
[10:19] <january> I think it is time for my morning rant...
[10:19] <giaco> I'm getting confused on fonts and how ubuntu use to handle fonts
[10:20] <ziroday> cpk1: sudo kill -9 <pid>
[10:20] <giaco> is there somone here who's comfortable with fonts on ubuntu linux?
[10:20] <finy> hi..
[10:20] <ziroday> Fruzen: what are you building from source?
[10:21] <ziroday> giaco: if you ask us your real question we might be able to help :)
[10:21] <quibbler> giaco: what do you wish to know
[10:21] <ikonia> Fruzen: stop
[10:21] <cpk1> ziroday: yes, I know -9 cannot be blocked, thats why in my question I asked if -9 wont do it
[10:21] <ikonia> Fruzen: listen very carefully
[10:21] <funkyHat> Does anyone use vim-vimoutliner? I've installed  the package and according to the docs it should be all configured, but I don't get any special formatting for .otl files
[10:22] <ikonia> Fruzen: open the pakage manager of your choice (aptitude/synaptic/whatever) search for the keyboard ircd - you will be presented with a list of IRC daemons, once you see them, select one you like and install it through the pakage manager
[10:22] <ikonia> Fruzen: does that make sense to you
[10:22] <giaco> ziroday, I've installed Droid.ttf font inside /usr/share/fonts/truetype, I've updated the cache then. The font is visible under most of the "select font" option in many programs, but it's not inside xfontsel
[10:22] <ziroday> giaco: ah, don't know about that sorry
[10:23] <Modus> ikonia: erm, so how do I get bc to display results in hex/decimal/binary?
[10:23] <ikonia> Modus: I don't know if it can, I was suggesting try it to see if it can
[10:24] <Modus> o.
[10:24] <hbekel> Modus: i use this ruby one liner: ruby -n -e '$res=eval $_; puts "Dec: " + $res.to_s, "Bin: " + $res.to_i.to_s(2), "Hex: 0x" + $res.to_i.to_s(16)'
[10:25] <hbekel> Modus: prefix that with 'rlwrap' for readline support
[10:25] <quibbler> giaco: try copying Droid.ttf to ~/,fonts    if .fonts doesn't exit in your home directory you will have to make it
[10:26] <Modus> hbekel: i'll try it thanks
[10:26] <giaco> quibbler, but the font is actually visible, it's only missing in xfontsel
[10:27] <giaco> quibbler, let me try restarting X
[10:27] <giaco> coming back in a while
[10:30] <ubuntistas> does anybody know if i can tranlsate pdf file to another language?
[10:30] <giaco> quibbler, no success
[10:31] <Modus> hbekel: this works. is there a way I can save the command to say an alias so i dont have to type the whole thing out every time?
[10:31] <quibbler> giaco: i don't know the program xfontsel..... but i do know the you can easily install ttf files by placing them in ~/.fonts
[10:31] <hbekel> Modus: add sth like alias calc=command to your .bashrc
[10:31] <ikonia> Modus: alias it in your .bash_profile / .bashrc
[10:32] <skywalker> Hello
[10:35] <Jerusalem420> i just stoke a modem into my computer. how do i get ubuntu to see it?
[10:35] <Jerusalem420> stuck
[10:35] <SlimeyPete> !dialup
[10:35] <Jerusalem420> i don't want to connect via dialup, i want to send faxes from openoffice
[10:36] <ubuntistas> does anybody know if i can tranlsate pdf files to another language?
[10:36] <SlimeyPete> Jerusalem420: that howto will probably still be relevant to some extent
[10:36] <SlimeyPete> Fax is still dialup.
[10:37]  * SlimeyPete wonders if ubottu knows about faxes
[10:37] <SlimeyPete> !fax
[10:37] <SlimeyPete> evidently not

[10:41] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:42] <frg22> hello, if I wanted to output the same noise I heard through my speakers as microphone input how would I do that?

[10:43] <giaco> I've installed a ttf font, it's visible under any font selection option in gtk programs, but not in xlsfonts ... why?
[10:44] <frg22> hello, I am looking to put through my speaker output as microphone input. Any ideas/tips on how to accomplish this?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> giaco: maybe they are handled different in xls
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> giaco: check how xlsfonts are handles, you may just need a symlink somplace
[10:44] <giaco> ActionParsnip, yes, but I need the xls style signature of the installed font

[10:50] <ActionParsnip> frg22: its not something i do so all i can do is websearch
[10:50] <giaco> ActionParsnip, I've followed the instructions but it's useless, the font it's not visible in xlsfonts

[10:51] <Jewbacca> why on nvidia settings i cant save it to xorg.conf ?
[10:51] <quibbler> !cn
[10:52] <frg22> actionparsnip: thanks, it lead me to another thread that may be my solution... looking not to record, but to stream "live" thru a flash-based voice chat
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you need to run the app with gksudo
[10:52] <erUSUL> Jewbacca: launch it with «gksudo nvidia-settings»
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> frg22: not sure then dude, you could find an app to capture all sound to a file on your system
[10:53] <Uldtot> Anyone who can help me find a web controlled shell command line    (i want to use commands remotly on the web, like webmin)..
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> !webmin
[10:53] <notwist> Uldtot: why not ssh via port 80
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> !ebox
[10:53] <Uldtot> notwish > little noob here.. what is SSH?
[10:53] <SlimeyPete> Uldtot: google for "anyterm"
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> !ssh | Uldtot
[10:54] <Uldtot> actionparship > ebox does it have shell ocmannd line...   i got ebox but cant find shell command line.
[10:54] <SlimeyPete> anyterm may not be very secure though so watch out.
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> Uldtot: it allows you to remotely control your system securely at command line aswell as run remote X apps and access files
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> Uldtot: its massively powerful
[10:55] <Uldtot> ActionParsnip > i got ebox the only thing i can do it reboot the server  and make it crash...
[10:56] <Uldtot> thanks for the other names guys ^^^
[10:56] <Jewbacca> why i cant merge the xorg.conf settings with the nvidia x settings?
[10:57] <jitse> exit
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: if you run nvidia-settings you wont be able to write to xorg.conf as it is owned by root. If you run nvidia-settings with the command: gksudo nvidia-settings    the app will be running as root so will then have writeaccess
[10:58] <Jewbacca> on "Nvidia X Server Settings when i do "Save to X Configuration File" i get this error Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[10:58] <Jewbacca> oh ok
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: 2 of us told you before
[10:59] <Jewbacca> yea thanks
[10:59] <Jewbacca> it worked
[10:59] <Jewbacca> :P
[10:59] <Q-FUNK> howdy!  for some reason, when I connect my digital camera to a USB port, it gets mounted to the desktop, instead of intercepted by gthumb.  I vaguely recall the same thing happening a few ubuntu releases ago, but not how I solved it.
[11:03] <tomkirby> can someone help me diagnose a problem?
[11:03] <tomkirby> i keep getting segfaults in random programs
[11:03] <tomkirby> it can happen in any program, irrespective of user
[11:04] <tomkirby> and still keeps happening after a fresh install of intrepid
[11:04] <ikonia> tomkirby: is your hardware overclocked ?
[11:04] <tomkirby> and is still happening now i've cleaned out my mb and cpu fan
[11:04] <Myrtti> tomkirby: have you run memtest yet?
[11:04] <tomkirby> nope
[11:04] <tomkirby> yes
[11:04] <tomkirby> memtest was fine
[11:04] <ikonia> tomkirby: have you considered running memtest from the boot options
[11:04] <ikonia> tomkirby: how long did you run it for ?
[11:05] <tomkirby> ikonia: until it got through all the tests and reported success
[11:05] <ikonia> tomkirby: roughly how long was that ?
[11:05] <Myrtti> tomkirby: usual procedure is to run memtest several passes
[11:05] <tomkirby> about an hour
[11:05] <tomkirby> maybe just over
[11:05] <ikonia> tomkirby: not enough
[11:05] <ikonia> a full pass is normally about 4 - 8 hours on a modern machine
[11:05] <ikonia> and you need to run several passes to get a solid output
[11:05] <tomkirby> ikonia: ok - is that influenced by how much ram i have?
[11:06] <ikonia> tomkirby: yes
[11:06] <tomkirby> ikonia: i have 2gm
[11:06] <tomkirby> *2gb
[11:06] <cih997> hi, pulseaudio generates <IP_ADDRESS>:34716 -> <IP_ADDRESS>:46294 connection using 100% of my internet connecion, how can I disable this pulseaudio connecion? killall -9 pulseaudio helps but after that there's no sound. Any configuration?
[11:06] <ikonia> tomkirby: that doesn't change what I've said
[11:06] <tomkirby> sure
[11:06] <tomkirby> ikonia: so you reckon 4hrs? 14hrs?
[11:06] <ikonia> tomkirby: you said you'd not overclocked your computer - right ?
[11:06] <ikonia> tomkirby: watch the pass counter
[11:06] <ikonia> wait for it to do say 3 full system passes
[11:07] <erUSUL> cih997: launch paprefs and disable all network related stuff
[11:07] <ikonia> tomkirby: dont go on time - go on pass
[11:07] <january> Hello, a moment ago I was mentioning a problem using Skype in 8.10. The solution (case anyone is interested) is to deinstall pulseaudio and install esound instead.
[11:07] <ikonia> tomkirby: there are individual tests/passes then a "full" pass which is all the tests
[11:08] <chronographer> january: it is possible to get pulseaudio working... I needed to add my user to pulseaudio group toget all other packages working... Ubuntu has issues with pulseaudio apparently but once working it is great.
[11:08] <tomkirby> ikonia: looking at the segfault data in the system log, i tend to see errors cropping up at similar addresses sometimes, but don't know how to interpret the data. can you suggest anything?
[11:08] <cih997> erUSUL: thx, works :)
[11:08] <ikonia> tomkirby: do the memtest setup I suggested
[11:08] <erUSUL> cih997: no problem ;P
[11:09] <frg22> ActionParsnip: everything's resolved... already was using pulseaudio... just had to open control panel and change the input stream to monitor the output stream :D
[11:09] <frg22> got to go now, peace

[11:10] <Airw0rm> ls
[11:10] <Airw0rm> How come it won't tell me whihc HDD's i can mount in ubuntu
[11:10] <Airw0rm> and even when i do
[11:11] <Myrtti> Airw0rm: because that's not where they are
[11:11] <Airw0rm> cd SDA2 or w.e it won't work
[11:11] <Airw0rm> Where would i find them, and which commands should i rum
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Airw0rm: try: sudo fdisk -l
[11:11] <Airw0rm> *run
[11:11] <Airw0rm> ok
[11:11] <Airw0rm> Would i be able to mount a folder?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Airw0rm: and ease up on the enter key dude
[11:11] <Airw0rm> and run mv ultiman.exe utilman.old etc?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Airw0rm: you dont mount a folder, you mount a device TO a folder
[11:12] <int256> how to mount a drive from terminal
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> Airw0rm: you can do anything to any file as long as you have correct access
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> int256: you dont mount drives, you mount partitions
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> !mount | int256
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> !mount | Airw0rm
[11:12] <Airw0rm> Im not installing
[11:13] <Airw0rm> I'm trying to exploit somthing in Windows 7
[11:13] <Airw0rm> an old vista exploit
[11:13] <Airw0rm> which i want to see if it's patched in windows 7
[11:13] <fosco_> Airw0rm: this is for ubuntu support
[11:13] <Airw0rm> yeh, and im using ubuntu to exploit
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Airw0rm: its simple, make a folder in /mnt. then sudo mount /dev/<partition name. /mnt/<mountpoint> -t <type> -o <options>
[11:14] <int256> i want to mount a drive using command
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Airw0rm: if its on an ntfs partition and you want write access you will need ntfs3g
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> int256: you mount partitions
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> int256: is the partition formatted ntfs?
[11:16] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: I'd suggest we'd leave it at that, I'm not too comfortable in assisting someone exploit security holes
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: its just mounting a partition which is fine
[11:17] <Airw0rm> to be fair
[11:18] <Airw0rm> Linux is kind of built to help exploit security holes
[11:18] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: yeah, for now.
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: thats like a shop not selling knives as they can be used for murder
[11:19] <int256> ActionParsnip: yes ntfs
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: how do you know a tonne of other times you've helped someone mount a partition it wasnt for the same thing?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs3g | int256
[11:19] <Darth_Tux> Airw0rm, Linux is kind of built to help exploit security holes?
[11:19] <fosco_> ActionParsnip: this time the client is telling you he's going to kill someone with the knife
[11:19] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: as I said, it's ok to tell how to mount the partitions.
[11:20] <int256> ubottu: pls say how to use 'mount' command to mount a partition
[11:20] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: *but* I also suggested that if he has other questions beyond that, he's on his own
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: deal
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> fosco_: could be lying to look "cool"
[11:21] <fosco_> int256: sudo mount -t "filesystem_type" /dev/"partition_number" /media/"Mount_point"
[11:21] <fosco_> ActionParsnip: do what you want
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> fosco_: I gave him the ntfs3g factoid which should see him through
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> fosco_: thanks for your permission
[11:22] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: other questions that might impelement exploiting, that is. If he's later intrested in say, Gimp, it's fine ;-)
[11:22] <ezerhoden> Darth_Tux: yo
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Myrtti: true but as far as I can see he just wants to mount a partition, what he does or doesnt do with the data is beyond the scope of this roo :)
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> *room
[11:23] <Myrtti> ActionParsnip: exactly :-)
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> :D
[11:24] <chronographer> thie room:-)
[11:24] <Darth_Tux> ezerhoden, dude!
[11:24] <chronographer> hmm...  what happened to your m?
[11:24] <ezerhoden> i once referred to #debian as a 'room' and was flamed. it is a #channel. those guys are uptight
[11:24] <chronographer> careful in debian
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> ezerhoden: i use them interchangably, like a 'chatroom' makes sense
[11:25] <chronographer> I go them for technical help when #ubuntu doesn't fit it. Must be careful to not let them know you're on Ubuntu!!!!!!!
[11:25] <tefl0n> lol chronographer
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> chronographer: well there are differences but at a lot of abstracted levels its the same
[11:25] <chronographer> yeah I know.
[11:26] <chronographer> Debian is much more sensible. Ubuntu is for all us that like to live on the edge =)
[11:26] <nsadmin> make no mistake, you have to be careful here too
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> chronographer: if you want sensible, try bsd
[11:27] <bullgard4> Why are there two directories /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon and ../gnome/settings-daemon-2.0?

[11:36] <metasepp> hello everyone. I have a jamlab guitar interface by M-audio. anyone has experience in setting this up in ubuntu studio? Thanks for the help guys.
[11:36] <metasepp> P.S. Googled it up, but didn't get anything usefull apart from some rather oldish OSS drivers. I'm on Ubuntu 9,04 x86 with Ubuntu-studio pakets from the official repository. Plain Kernel. intel core2 6300 with 3 Gig.
[11:37] <piasdom> how do i access network files thru a terminal ?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: mount the shared folder with smbmount
[11:37] <JackWinter> metasepp: is it supported by alsa ?
[11:37] <piasdom> while in any dir ?
[11:37] <lied> ActionParsnip: so it changed the name ... ok. thanks!
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: you can mount it to any dir you like (except in /proc) and access it like any other file on your system
[11:38] <Sarkie> hi guys, I'm looking to set up an ftp on my ubuntu box, which package is noob friendly?
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> lied: have a dig around
[11:38] <piasdom> ActionParnips: thanks
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> Sarkie: proftpd, vsftpd
[11:38] <lied> Sarkie: filezilla
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Sarkie: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[11:39] <metasepp> Jackwinter: thats what i hoped somebody could tell me. :-] where can i look that up?
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Sarkie: thise are ftp SERVERS, lied suggested filezilla which is an ftp CLIENT. It depends which you require
[11:39] <Sarkie> yeah i saw that link, ActionParsnip. Cheers
[11:40] <Sarkie> Yeah wanted a server, with access to my /www dir
[11:40] <lied> ActionParsnip: meeep, wrong. filezilla has also a server...
[11:40] <JackWinter> am normally still on 8.04, booted 8.10 and in the process of updating it.  was wondering if there is a 2.6.28 kernel for 8.10 ?
[11:40] <JackWinter> metasepp: what is it, pci/usb/fw ?
[11:40] <chronographer> i use ssh as a sftp file server. Is this particularly unsafe?
[11:41] <lied> chronographer: only if you have a weak sshkey
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> lied: on the filezilla site the only server is windows based, and the official repos only have the client
[11:41] <chronographer> it is letters and numbers, not very long though
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> lied: so meep, wrong back at you
[11:41] <lied> ActionParsnip: ah ok, that maybe. i thougt in the new linux versions there is also a ftp server implemented
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> chronographer: its very safe :)
[11:41] <metasepp> JackWinter: its USB. Someone over at the Ardour List claims that it works on his box in Ubuntustudio on 8.10. Doesn't show up on my box though.
[11:42] <chronographer> great! it is quite easy to set ssh up. I had great trouble with ftp. think I had a port closed which it needed...
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> chronographer: uses the same encryption as ssh to transfer the data
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> chronographer: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[11:42] <chronographer> yeah thats how I understood it.
[11:42] <daliang> there are very much hits shows in firestart,is that's ok?
[11:43] <chronographer> yep I have done that!
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> chronographer: if you want access over WAN you will need to use port forwarding/virtual server
[11:43] <bullgard4> Why are there two directories /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon and ../gnome-settings-daemon-2.0?
[11:43] <lied> ActionParsnip: i installed libcap2 libcap2-dev libpcap-de libcap and nothing changed the error message in /var/log/messages. so is there any other way. i already searched on google but didnt't find a solution which was working for me. maybe i have to compile vsftpd by source
[11:43] <chronographer> forgot my bloody truecrypt password!!! lucky it was basically empty.

[11:44] <Jazzinghen> I have a problem with my PC. It hangs on the GRUB screen
[11:44] <metasepp> JackWinter: Thank you!
[11:44] <JackWinter> metasepp: or try #alsa
[11:45] <lied> ActionParsnip: hm i think the erroe appears cause the vsftpd is 32bit and i have a 64bit system
[11:45] <lied> s/erroe/error/
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> lied: then install the 64bit version
[11:45] <xyz>  #sqlite
[11:45] <Mech0z> http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12061&Itemid=1
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> lied: copy out your ftpd config, uninstall the 32 and install the 64
[11:45] <Mech0z> does that mean that we will get 180 drivers automaticly in ubuntu?
[11:46] <lied> ActionParsnip: if the error comes from vsftpd - i don't know that for sure
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> lied: you are gonna have to dig around in logs as you do stuff to see what is causing the issue
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> lied: i'm not conversant with vsftpd so I'm not much good
[11:47] <lied> ok, thanks
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> lied: there are 19 peopele in #vsftpd
[11:47] <metasepp> bye everyone
[11:47] <funkyHat> I'm getting a lot of failed connections to google today, is it just me? (doesn't seem to be happening with anyone else's site)
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> funkyHat: try pinging google from terminal, see if you drop packets. Its fine here
[11:48] <Jazzinghen> funkyHat: No, it's happening to me too
[11:48] <Jazzinghen> However, can anyone help me?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> !ask | Jazzinghen
[11:50] <Jazzinghen> My PC hangs at the GRUB screen. It get to "Loading GRUB Please Wait..." and then nothing. I've just shifted my HDDs from my old PC to a new one, but on the old one everything worked perfectly... I have an ASUS P5AD2-E motherboard
[11:50] <Tonik|away> Hi, any ideas why scripts with expressions like "if [[ .$1 != . ]] ; then" stopped working after upgrade to 8.10?   It seems changing double brackets to single fixes my scripts, but was there a reason I used [[ in the first place? (I don't remember :/)
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> Jazzinghen: try reinstalling grub
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> !grub | Jazzinghen
[11:52] <B1OS> how do you move a folder/file if the directory path contains spaces?
[11:52] <prince_jammys> Tonik|away: because ubuntu's /bin/sh is now a symlink to dash. scripts with [[ ]] should have #!/bin/bash in the shebang, and not be run as 'sh script'
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> B1OS: tab complete it, they will be managed for you
[11:52] <SlimeyPete> B1OS: use quotes around the directory name eg "My Directory/"
[11:53] <SlimeyPete> or, yes, tab-complete
[11:53] <B1OS> thanks
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> B1OS: if tab completing doesnt work its something like: cp this\ file\ name\ contains\ space.txt
[11:53] <prince_jammys> Tonik|away: that happened sometime around feisty or edgy
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> B1OS: tab completing is WAYYY easier
[11:53] <Jazzinghen> Ok, I'll try it
[11:53] <Tonik|away> Pricey: I see.  Do you think it's ok to use [ instead of [[ if it works?    I don't even know how to google help on these expressions :)
[11:54] <coz_> hey guys I had this once on intrepid and have searched all day... disable recent documents?
[11:54] <prince_jammys> Tonik|away: go to #bash, and read the FAQ in the topic about tests. [[ has more features
[11:54] <prince_jammys> Tonik|away: or go to that channel and type /msg greybot [[
[11:55] <Tonik|away> prince_jammys, thanks
[11:55] <prince_jammys> welcome
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> coz_: chmod +400 ~/.recently-used
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> coz_: ;)
[11:55] <prince_jammys> Tonik|away: there's nothing wrong with [, if you use it properly. it's just trickier
[11:55] <coz_> ActionParsnip,  I didnt try that one  let me try now :)

[11:56] <calwig> how do i set up WebDAV in apache?
[11:56] <calwig> !webdav
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> coz_: just makes it only readable but not writable so the file cannot be updated
[11:56] <coz_> ActionParsnip,  mm it says invalid mode +400
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> coz_: remove the + sign
[11:57] <coz_> yep trying that now :)
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> calwig: head to #apache
[11:57] <piasdom> ActionParnips: i get it  to mount but i can't see the files when i do ls
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: ok where is it mounted to?
[11:58] <bullgard4> Why are there two directories /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon and ../gnome-settings-daemon-2.0?
[11:58] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: ittfiles/Gustav
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: try renaming one and rebooting, see what changes when you next log in
[11:58] <prince_jammys> hehe
[11:59] <calwig> ActionParsnip:
[11:59] <calwig> thankz
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: do you mean in your home folder?
[11:59] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: it's a network dir
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: like: /home/<username>/ittfiles/Gustav
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: did you mount it there? I'm after the full path
[11:59] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: ittfiles
[11:59] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: I cannot see that your proposal is the proper way to answer the question which I have put.
[12:00] <prince_jammys> bullgard4: #gnome might know. it's a pretty esoteric question
[12:00] <lied> ActionParsnip: i compiled the vsftpd by source and the error appears again.. think this must be a error by ubuntu
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: its n investigation. If you rename the folder and reboot, next time you log on a stock one will be generated, you will then see system differences which you can then attribte to the change. As you only renamed the folder you can easily revert back
[12:01] <nsadmin> what error?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: how does tat not answer your question
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> lied: i'd submit a bug report
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> !bug | lied
[12:01] <nsadmin> bug report for something he compiled himself? to where?
[12:02] <bullgard4> prince_jammys: ok.
[12:02] <lied> nsadmin: i used the ubuntu bin before...
[12:02] <nsadmin> no way that's a bug in ubuntu
[12:02] <nsadmin> oh ok
[12:02] <nsadmin> so, what error
[12:02] <lied> nsadmin: warning: `vsftpd' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) and after that the network freezes and no connection is possible anymore
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: what folder are you mounting to, it will start /. Like if you are mounting it to a folder named 'data' in the /media directory, its path will be /media/data
[12:03] <lied> nsadmin: this is reproducable with every download i make via ftp
[12:03] <Myrtti> lied: and why don't you use the ubuntu bin now?
[12:03] <homebrewcider> hey there, I'm running Xubuntu, I have a Canon MP610 printer/scanner, printer working okay, scanner not being recognized, sane is installed, don't know what to do next
[12:03] <nsadmin> so it happens each time a client connects?
[12:03] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: As it is called in this country, this would be to shoot with a cannon onto a moskito.
[12:03] <lied> nsadmin: no connect is fine but download isn't working
[12:03] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: home/itt/ittfiles/itt/Gustav
[12:04] <nsadmin> lied: perhaps the log file has something interesting
[12:04] <nsadmin> perhaps also you could rebuild with extra debug output
[12:04] <lied> nsadmin: this is the only information which apperas after the error
[12:05] <nsadmin> in the log file?
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: ok thats cool
[12:05] <lied> nsadmin: jep
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: ok can you run mount with no parameters and pastebin the output please
[12:05] <nsadmin> so maybe you could see if it's possible to make the logging more verbose, either by configuring it that way or rebuilding it that way
[12:06] <nsadmin> while you're doing that you could try other ftp daemons
[12:06] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: i have to use -o
[12:06] <nsadmin> and by the way...
[12:07] <nsadmin> authenticated ftp and authenticated telnet are not smart to use
[12:07] <lied> nsadmin: haha...
[12:07] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: a help file
[12:07] <nsadmin> but you know that, right?
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> homebrewcider: http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010488.asp
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> homebrewcider: canon have the scanner driver in a deb
[12:08] <homebrewcider> that's installed
[12:08] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: home/itt/ittfiles/itt/Gustav -o
[12:08] <lied> damn, this box has a worse failure. now the networks dies after a aptitude upgrade :(
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: run 'mount' on its own in a terminal and make a pastebin of it so I can read the output without you flooding the channel
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> !paste | piasdom
[12:09] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: ok
[12:10] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118810/
[12:11] <DarkKnight> can anyone tell me good softwares for making website

[12:17] <ScottG489> Does anyone know of a good program/game to help me type correctly? I can type alright but i still cant type very quickly using the correct (home row) method. Are there any programs/games out there I could use to improve on this?

[12:25] <joeythacker> Right, I get that. One of the things it is telling me to use is PGP - then with PGP for it to work in the USA it needs RSAREF package - and I can't find that anywhere.
[12:26] <joeythacker> I've seen a few different places telling me not to use RSAREF, too. It is a little overwhelming for a new user to linux/ubuntu lol
[12:26] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; i didnt explain to you clearly what i wanted...i'll tell you now clealry

[12:29] <nsadmin> besides....
[12:30] <Slart> is the current nvu the same as the old nvu? I kind of recall something about it changing lots of stuff

[12:33] <DarkKnight> nsadmin; is kompozer the new name for nvu??
[12:34] <nsadmin> DarkKnight: you read the same as I did
[12:34] <nsadmin> nvu is a fork
[12:34] <Nero-Wolf> Good morning everyone?
[12:35] <smokinjoe> Hows it going Nero-Wolf
[12:35] <DarkKnight> nsadmin; i just read that ubottu message and it said nvu (source: kompozer). so i was wondering if both are the same..i am still not sure...is it??
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> afternoon, Nero-Wolf
[12:35] <Nero-Wolf> Not too bad.  Do you or anyone else have time for a question?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> Nero-Wolf: ask the room, it will answer
[12:35] <DarkKnight> ikonia, bazhang; hii...nice to see you....after a long time
[12:35] <smokinjoe> I do
[12:35] <smokinjoe> If I can answer
[12:36] <Nero-Wolf> Well, I'm going to be sending my MS-based laptop in for repairs soon, and I need access to work email.  I've had that set-up through Outlook that connects to a hosted Exchange server...
[12:36] <ikonia> DarkKnight: it's been 2 days
[12:36] <josh_> I have a couple questions, Does Ubuntu 32bit recognize more than the 3GB of ram that Windows does?
[12:36] <Nero-Wolf> And I need to find a client that works better than Evolution for Exchange accounts.
[12:37] <ikonia> josh_: it's a long story, it "can" but it is better to use 64bit if you want 4GB of ram support
[12:37] <Nero-Wolf> I know about Thunderbird, but it looks like it doesn't have a specific category for Exchange accounts.
[12:37] <Slart> sec_goat: not unless you enable PAE
[12:37] <jrib> sec_goat: server or desktop?
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Nero-Wolf: MS dont like none MS clients connecting to Exchange, its a real pain
[12:37] <Slart> sec_goat: the server kernel uses PAE for example
[12:37] <sec_goat> nero-wolf have you tried thunderbird?
[12:37] <DarkKnight> ikonia; like i said before...you have good memory....i have busy schedules and i didnt really remember that
[12:37] <sec_goat> this is just a desktop computer
[12:37] <myx0x3> lawl, 13:37 ;)
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Nero-Wolf: make sure you pst your emails so you can port them to your next system
[12:37] <Nero-Wolf> sec_goat: I grabbed it, but TB doesn't look like it has a way to set-up Exchange access...
[12:38] <Nero-Wolf> Action: I'd debated on that, but I've kept my stuff on the server for a reason.  ;3  The hardware I own/operate tends to be very volatile.
[12:38] <Nero-Wolf> Let's just say I've wiped my main stuff at home more than 3 times in the past 60 days just because I've been experimenting with stuff.
[12:38] <Nero-Wolf> But yeah...
[12:39] <Nero-Wolf> I've got Thunderbird now and I'm looking at it, I'm just not sure how to set it up to access the account like my Outlook client is set-up now.
[12:39] <myx0x3> have anyone here Irssi? :P
[12:39] <Nero-Wolf> It looks nice, I'll grant it that...
[12:39] <Slart> myx0x3: yes
[12:40] <myx0x3> Slart: im realy new at linux, how do i change color and stuff? :P
[12:40] <piasdom> ActionParsnip: thanks again..appreciate it

[12:40] <myx0x3> Slart: in Irssi
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> !themes | myx0x3
[12:41] <Slart> myx0x3: you've read the man page, of course, and the website, of course.. there are themes you can apply.. I guess you have to edit the conf file
[12:42] <Slart> myx0x3: I've only changed some minor details myself so I can't really help you any further

[12:46] <DarkKnight> jrib; i have to execute it in terminal??
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> huwenfeng: why not, it as user authentication and uses TCP for garunteed dilivery. Whats wrong with it?
[12:47] <jrib> DarkKnight: you probably want to read more about it first...
[12:47] <huwenfeng> ActionParsnip: but it does not provide a good internal function, like internal mirroring

[12:47] <ActionParsnip> Andry_Work: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> huwenfeng: you can have massively different levels of ftp logging which you can review

[12:51] <Slart> snowhite: did you read the links that people sent you?
[12:51] <yiyezhou> Please help me,my notebook(hp 541 808pa) warning:setupcon:None of /etc/default/console -setup nor /.console -setup exits.checking battery......
[12:51] <drash> snowhite: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1054906.html for a fix
[12:51] <snowhite> i dont know enything here anymore
[12:51] <jrib> DarkKnight: google will probably be useless.  Just read what it says in the man page.  gpg -c to encrypt, gpg -d to decrypt
[12:51] <DarkKnight> jrib; ohh you are referring to cryptography.....i'll explain you clearly... i am backing up my system...puttting all data on archive files .zip  and dumping it on my friends system...my friend has many other friends staying with him...and they use the same system..i dont want them to open these files and see my important data
[12:51] <Ferran> hello all; i'm deleting a user and when i recreate it (with a new home directory) the gnome-panel configuration remains unchanged; how can i fix this?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> snowhite: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1054906.html
[12:52] <snowhite> PUB-KEY wrongs ???Whats that mean?
[12:52] <jrib> DarkKnight: I know.  What I've given you will do what you want...
[12:52] <DarkKnight> jrib; so i just wanted to password protect my files....and idea
[12:52] <DarkKnight> jrib;;okk i'll have a look at that
[12:52] <Slart> snowhite: when you download packages from a repository there is a way to check if the package is what it's supposed to be
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Ferran: you will need to chown -R and chmod -R 755 the /home/<username> folder to give the new username access
[12:53] <yiyezhou> plz help me,my ubuntu don't install all the way.
[12:53] <huwenfeng> no no , i need to use several small storage computer to implement a big virtual storage, and gives out a simple interface! so i have to find a distributed filesystem to use.
[12:53] <jrib> DarkKnight: if you must google, google the long option corresponding to -c
[12:53] <snowhite> Okey what should I do now then?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the disk you burned was correct?
[12:53] <Slart> snowhite: that error message means that something went wrong with this check.. read the link that drash sent you
[12:53] <huwenfeng> i am so sorry that i asked the wrong question
[12:53] <Slart> huwenfeng: I didn't say it was wrong.. but I think you aimed a bit to high =)
[12:53] <yiyezhou> ActionParsnip:i install it by USB.
[12:54] <Slart> *too
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: doesnt matter, did you check the iso before burning as well as checking the burned cd was correct?
[12:54] <Ferran> ActionParsnip: i did it; in fact i deleted the user with userdel, moved the home user dir; recreated the user with adduser and i still see the same gnome-panel configuration... maybe it's an inode (not file) problem; trying to reboot to fix it
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Ferran: you will need to grant the new user acces and ownership
[12:55] <snowhite> bye...I cannot get the right information here now for the moment thanks
[12:55] <SunnyDP> ok
[12:55] <Ferran> ActionParsnip: yes, i did it
[12:55] <SunnyDP> ciao sw
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Ferran: even if its the same name it may not get access so you can aleiviate this issue with the simple commands
[12:55] <yiyezhou> ActionParsnip:no,i have not burning CD,I use USB to install it.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Ferran: thats cool, yeah i'd reboot too
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: ok i gotcha, did you md5 check the iso?
[12:56] <Ferran> ok, it was an inode problem :)
[12:56] <Ferran> rebooting solved
[12:57] <yiyezhou> ActionParsnip:no,i download it from http://www.ubuntu.com/.
[12:57] <vigo> How do I start the firewall and other apps as non admin? I have three peoples on this box and I figure is safe or whatever to have 1 admin/root yet I wish the other users to be able to do common tasks , like start firewall, or install updates that are from Canonical.
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: that doesnt matter
[12:57] <yiyezhou> The startup is right at first.
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: you could have been givien it by the head of canonical, you still need to check the iso you downloaded
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: downloads are not 100% garunteed to be accurate all the time and you need to check the iso, especially with something as critical as an operatings system
[12:59] <yiyezhou> ActionParsnip:OK,i have got it.
[12:59] <vigo> That is what that MD5 hashum stuff is all about
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: if you have a bad image its not going to work, if you have a good image then we can look at other things
[12:59] <yiyezhou> ActionParsnip:Thank you very much,i will download it again.
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: you may not hve to, check the image you downloaded with the md5 hashes
[13:00] <DarkKnight> jrib; as i didnt get the overall idea...can you explain in a gist how i can use it...now suppose i have to put a password to a file named xyz...so what is the syntax of the command should i type
[13:00] <jrib> DarkKnight: gpg -c xyz
[13:03] <apraxas> hi folk. i have  Ubuntu 8.10 with gnome-desktop and compiz and  i have no menu text and no tooltip text in some programs. The menu's and toolbars and icons still exist and still work. i read in a forum change the font style, but there is no effect for me. it dosn`t work. hmm. when i diable compiz it works? what can i do. in ubuntu 8.04 it works with compiz.
[13:04] <yiyezhou>  ActionParsnip: OK,md5 is match.there is another XP system in my notebook.is it may be the reason?
[13:05] <DeadRooster> hi all, i'm looking an app to burn a DVD iso to a USB stick and make it bootable, can anyone help?
[13:05] <shipitkthx> hi, i have a problem with partition sizes on an existing Hardy system, i have 2 partitions setup, sda1 and sda3, sda1 is 18.9 gig, and sda3 is 162 gig, sda1 is my file system partition, sda3 contains my home folder, sda1 now has 0 free space remaining, i believe the problem is I have a large Postgresql server which I believe is being stored on sda1, I would obviously like to have it stored on sda3 but I cant even start Postgresql to
[13:05] <shipitkthx> move it anything over since it wont start without any free space
[13:05] <shipitkthx> anyone have a suggestion for what i can do without losing any data?
[13:05] <SunnyDP> Is there a program like msconfig for linux to check what programs services run at boot of computer ?
[13:05] <vigo> DeadRooster: Tried Brasero?
[13:06] <fosco_> SunnyDP: system - admini - services
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: that doesnt matter, you are booting from the usb stick so the internal drives dont get looked at
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | yiyezhou
[13:06] <jrib> SunnyDP: system -> administration -> services.  But I wouldn't disable anything there that you aren't sure about
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> yiyezhou: try turning off acpi and dma, it may help
[13:06] <DeadRooster> vigo: can brasero burn to USB stick?
[13:06] <SunnyDP> ok thanks
[13:06] <SunnyDP> and in command line?
[13:06] <SunnyDP> terminal mode?
[13:07] <DarkKnight> jrib; hey i did that then i got a .gpg file...so i just have to use this file...is it..and i dont require that original .zip file right??
[13:07] <shipitkthx> i guess my main question is can i reduce the size of sda3 and increase sda1 so i can move backup postgresql and then move it over?
[13:07] <vigo> DeadRooster: I think it can, I have never done it, but media is media, sorta
[13:07] <jrib> DarkKnight: yes.  gpg -d xyz.gpg (or double click if you install seahorse)
[13:07] <P-Nuts> DeadRooster, use usb-creator
[13:07] <SiebaZ> hey i have a problem with xchat (dcc) the speed on linux is much slower than on windows what could be the issue for that?
[13:07] <DeadRooster> vigo: i'll check it out now. thanks
[13:08] <DarkKnight> jrib; vow great...thank you
[13:08] <vigo> Thank you P=Nutz: I had forgotten about that

[13:08] <SunnyDP> thnaks fosco
[13:08] <shipitkthx> anyone?
[13:08] <bn43> does anyone else use this monitor?
[13:08] <apraxas> hi folk. i have  Ubuntu 8.10 with gnome-desktop and compiz and  i have no menu text and no tooltip text in some programs.

[13:09] <Jewbacca> hi, i have a precompile file, how do i compile it?
[13:09] <shipitkthx> partition problems
[13:09] <shipitkthx> file system partition is maxed
[13:09] <rip_> should i have a pagefile setup in windows, which is run as a virtual machine on ubuntu?
[13:09] <hateball> !compile | Jewbacca
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> apraxas: i'd suggest asking in compiz as it is the thing causing the issue
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> rip_: i would
[13:10] <shipitkthx> action can i pm you the explanation? it seems to have gotten lost in the chat
[13:10] <tapas> given a fully qualified filename, how do i get the directory part of it?
[13:10] <tapas> e.g. /path/to/foo/bar -> /path/to/foo
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> shipitkthx: just type my full name at the start and my name will highlight
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> shipitkthx: just like i'm highlighting yours

[13:11] <SiebaZ> hey i have a problem with xchat (dcc) the speed on linux is much slower than on windows what could be the issue for that?
[13:11] <jmj> poda opai
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> shipitkthx: not sure if the app can do this but you could move the data onto your larger partition then create a symlink so that the folder appears but is really a link to the folder on the other partition
[13:12] <Davedan> what is the difference between /var/log/apt/term.log and /var/log/dpkg.log ?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> shipitkthx: i'm not clued up on postgresql so I'm no help there but you could easily move the folder storing the large data to the other partition and link
[13:13] <shipitkthx> actionparsnip, ok checking that out
[13:13] <DeadRooster> brasero and usb-creator won't burn DVD ISO's to USB, anyone have any other ideas?
[13:13] <shipitkthx> actionparsnip, im ok if i can at least get postgresql server to start, then i can just backup and reinstall on different partition

[13:16] <SunnyDP> Unetbootin like carpii said
[13:16] <carpii> DeadRooster, are you trying to create an installer on a usb stick? Or install a live ubuntu system on a usb stick?
[13:17] <drash> apraxas: ok, have you tried resetting compiz settings back to the defaults ? make a backup of your settings before trying this ...
[13:17] <shipitkthx> actionparsnip, i just need to figure out exactly where postgresql is saving the data tables, which atm i cant figure out

[13:18] <bn43> does anyone else use this monitor?
[13:18] <ubuntu_> because it did a quick format not a full format...otherwise it would have taken HOURS
[13:18] <ubuntu_> lol
[13:18] <Jazzinghen> If I try to boot the live my PC gives me lots of errors like this: ata2.00 error {ICRC ABORT}
[13:18] <DeadRooster> ubuntu_: have you tried reinstalling grub or whichever boot loader you use?
[13:19] <ubuntu_> no not yet DeadRooster..
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> bn43: try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adding better refresh rates / screen resolutions
[13:20] <drash> apraxas: i'm thinking that some setting in your active compiz profile is causing this .... if you use ccsm you could try the advanced search option and see if there are any extraordinary settings in there ... sorry if this isn't 100% clear, please feel free to pm me if you want

[13:21] <orly_owl> Why is switching users slow in hardy?
[13:21] <SunnyDP> ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:21] <vigo> DeadRooster: from the forums is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811397&highlight=ubuntu+usb
[13:21] <ubuntu_> umm ok
[13:21] <orly_owl> it takes a while for the login screen to appear
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_: reinstalling grub wont bring it back as there will be no OS to boot to as you have overwritten and formatted the data away, the unoverwritten data may be retrievable but if its written over with a new file its gone. I would restore your data from backup after reinstalling linux
[13:22] <ubuntu_> well
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> orly_owl: depends what apps are running at the time
[13:22] <bn43> ActionParsnip: do you know how I can find the correct setting?
[13:22] <ubuntu_> i guess it's to the apt cd i made... least i did that much ;(
[13:22] <apraxas> drash. ok thanks . i will wait that my ftp upload is finished then i can restart my gdm session. than i pm u and tell u whats up.
[13:22] <ubuntu_> this sucks though..
[13:22] <ubuntu_> :(
[13:22] <FloodBot2> ubuntu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:22] <orly_owl> ActionParsnip: no it doesnt. even when no apps are open it's slow
[13:23] <orly_owl> box has 512mb ram
[13:23] <drash> apraxas: ok, no rush
[13:23] <ubuntu_> floodBot2 is annoying ... i'm not even flooding
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> orly_owl: it would if you were compiling a kernel or 2 with gimp running it would, check background processes and the like
[13:23] <orly_owl> im not doing any of that
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> orly_owl: its an example
[13:24] <orly_owl> ok
[13:24] <JackWinter> what is the alsa dev lib called ?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> JackWinter: apt-cce search alsa | grep -i dev

[13:25] <orly_owl> k
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> JackWinter: apt-cache search alsa | grep -i dev

[13:30] <myx0x3> ActionParsnip: and gaming? :P
[13:31] <myx0x3> ActionParsnip: to slow right?

[13:33] <mchelen> its okay, 100ms ping vs 20ms is meaningful tho :D
