[03:36] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  I thought I directed that at mbourd25: (10:32:54 PM) redvamp128: mbourd25:  gksu gedit then open the menu.1st
[03:36] <bbzez> spritle,   it just says one thing
[03:36] <Cpudan80> crdlb: I just dont think it looks very good -- that and all the dead space
[03:36] <Cpudan80> crdlb: unless xrandr fixed that now?
[03:36] <robson> wow i got X to start using aticonfig but neither my mouse nor keyboard work. i have an idea about the mouse. any of you know why the keyboard won't work with X but will work right now?
[03:37] <xubuntu> I would like to know if it's posible to do this : Set up my laptop to be a router itself and going through it before going outside ?
[03:37] <mbourd25> thanks redvamp128
[03:37] <xubuntu> I saw something about virtual interface but I don't know if it's the solution ?
[03:38] <mbourd25> redvamp128, I tried the update-grub command but it doesn't do anything.
[03:38] <crdlb> Cpudan80: where would there be dead space? technically, the screen would be the size of a rectangle containing both outputs, but the space around the smaller one would only be apparent in the pager
[03:38] <nellmathew> anyone here got intrepid and a 4306 rev 3 wifi card? or even hardy?..
[03:38] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> possibly, can you draw a layout of what you wanted?
[03:38] <redvamp128> mbourd25:  you have to do that from a live cd
[03:38] <mbourd25> redvamp128: update-grub?
[03:39] <Cpudan80> crdlb: I dunno --- Im not thinking straight this eve
[03:39] <xubuntu> for example: Firefox->Laptop->internet but using only one NIC
[03:39] <redvamp128> mbourd25:  since you made a new kernel -- you should follow the comands for the Recovering Ubuntu after windows install
[03:39] <rod_>  /nick laughalots
[03:40] <waffles> Hey, I installed Ubuntu on a machine with Vista and XP on it, Grub can't find either of the installs. I've tried editing them into the menu.lst file, but that doesn't seem to help. I get an MBR Not Found, or something to that affect. I think it might be because I have the Windows in an extended partition and getting the HD(0,x) wrong. Any advice short of using Vista to repair the install?
[03:40] <rod_> okay, same question about the fstab--I need to rewrite it, I can't get liveCD to work I think.. thats the option on the CD that says "Use Ubuntu without making changes to your computer"
[03:40] <rod_> ?
[03:40] <sparda> ubuntu is no very good.
[03:40] <n8tuser> xubuntu ->  firefox would run on the laptop,  now can you take the effort to draw a picture to layout what you wanted?
[03:40] <rod_>  /nick laughalots
[03:40] <nellmathew> sparda what's wrong with it?
[03:40] <laughalots> okay, same question about the fstab--I need to rewrite it, I can't get liveCD to work I think.. thats the option on the CD that says "Use Ubuntu without making changes to your computer"?
[03:40] <mbourd25> thanks redvamp128
[03:40] <xubuntu> ok and where I put it ?
[03:40] <Demios> does anyone know why exe files are opening with archive manager instead of wine?
[03:40] <sparda> I can't get my wlan card to work on it.
[03:40] <laughalots> sorry new nick for all you who like to private message
[03:41] <Demios> very odd indeed.
[03:41] <mib_ribrwqt8> Hi all
[03:41] <nellmathew> sparda, i have the same problem.. that's the ONLY problem people seem to have (that and some graphics issues), everything that isn't open-source and free is causing the issues lol.. there's a solution somewhere, just takes some time and effort finding it, i've been trying for 2 weeks, i feel like giving up but i KNOW it's there
[03:41] <mib_ribrwqt8> I'm behind office router
[03:42] <laughalots> Cpudan80 you mind if I private msg you?
[03:42] <Cpudan80> sure!
[03:42] <Cpudan80> Fire away captain!
[03:42] <nellmathew> sparda, what's your wifi card btw?
[03:42]  * Demios fumes.
[03:42] <Cpudan80> but I'll brb
[03:42] <mib_ribrwqt8> we have a damn awesome file server I want to make public so I can use from home
[03:42] <sparda> I have a couple (both don't work), a westell, and linsys
[03:43] <mib_ribrwqt8> I've already used curlftpfs to mount the ftp as my drive
[03:43] <mg> How do I make wifi a system setting
[03:43] <sparda> I'm thinking of just trying another distro.
[03:43] <Demios> nothing wrong with that sparda
[03:43] <nellmathew> sparda, do : lspci -nn in terminal and pastebin the results, i'll see if i can help
[03:43] <mib_ribrwqt8> how do I go from here????
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> i cannot ask the sysadmin to open port
[03:44] <laughalots> livecd is the option when you put your Ubuntu install disk in as it boots and it says "Try Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer?"
[03:44] <nellmathew> sparda, most distros are similar (they all use pretty much the same packages).. if you can get it to work in one, it's the same method in the other (MOST!)
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> there is no way he will agree
[03:44] <mg> How do I make wireless a system setting
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> he will kill me rather
[03:44] <n8tuser> or get fired
[03:44] <ramirand> mib_ribrwqt8: Do you have any access from the outside? Like ssh?
[03:44] <nellmathew> mg, do you have intrepid?
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: hmm
[03:44] <mg> nellmathew: No Hardy
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> wad do u mean?
[03:45] <Pici> mib_ribrwqt8: Then we cannot help you. Questionably legal topics are not supported here.
[03:45] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: no actually
[03:45] <bbzez> guys, i need help with gparted
[03:45] <mib_ribrwqt8> Pici: u work for msoft eh? ;)
[03:45] <ramirand> mib_ribrwqt8: Then you are probably out of luck.
[03:45] <bbzez> i have mint and ubuntu installed and i want to get rid of mint
[03:45] <nellmathew> mg, well for me when i edit my wireless connection settings there's 2 checkboxes on top, that say "connect automatically' and "system setting"
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: i was thinking that if my machine sends out a signal and another remote responds to it
[03:46] <mg> nellmathew: you mean when you right click on the wireless icon?
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> the router will probably allow that traffic
[03:46] <xsg> i GUys i am on ubuntu 9.04 will they release all updates for later versions via update or will i have to redownload another image to proceed futher
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> only if a remote is trying to access without invitation the router will block ..
[03:46] <nellmathew> no in "network connections", when i right click and goto "edit connections" i don't know if it's the same in hardy
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> or am I off ..
[03:46] <WebcamWonder> xsg: updates
[03:46] <tritium> mib_ribrwqt8: stay on topic, please
[03:47] <xsg> so it will just keep updating till its the final release
[03:47] <mib_ribrwqt8> tritium: ??
[03:47] <Pici> !illegal | mib_ribrwqt8
[03:47] <WebcamWonder> xsg: Yup
[03:47] <mg> nellmathew: Is it supposed to update the settings you change as soon as you exit or do you have to reboot or something?
[03:47] <xsg> THats great i love 9.04
[03:47] <robson> any tips on getting my keyboard or mouse to work with ion and X? is it an ion configuration problem or X? i'm going off a minimal install so i may need various things
[03:47] <mib_ribrwqt8> i'm not pirating .. I want to access office file server from home ..
[03:47] <nellmathew> mg, it should update then and there, but if it doesn't work then try rebooting
[03:48] <mib_ribrwqt8> i dun have any interest on opening to public ok?
[03:48] <xubuntu> I have my image where I send it ?
[03:48] <mib_ribrwqt8> it's just a very interesting challenge
[03:48] <xsg> okk i have bfme 2 originial disc i bought game and can i install the game on ubuntu via wine
[03:48] <ramirand> mib_ribrwqt8: Just not really an #ubuntu topic.
[03:48] <mg> nellmathew: I have access to an encrypted router and an unencrypted router and it always takes the unencrypted - can that be specified to the encrypted first?
[03:48] <redvamp128> xsg:  you ahould probably ask that in #winehq
[03:48] <WebcamWonder> xsg: You should first check whether the game is supported by wine or not
[03:48] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: networking doesnt work like that
[03:49] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: huh why?
[03:49] <xsg> ok thanks man
[03:49] <tritium> mib_ribrwqt8: stop asking here, please
[03:49] <nellmathew> mg, i'm really not sure.. sorry buddy
[03:49] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: I mean you can send invitations I guess, but that would require some fancy stuff
[03:49] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: ah .. why?
[03:49] <mg> nellmathew: Thanks for your advice - I'll go give it a try :)
[03:49] <robson> is the keyboard and mouse supposed to work in ion by default?
[03:49] <xsg> what is th eofftopic room
[03:50] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: What would have to happen (on consumer grade routers) would be for your server to open a connection to the guy on the other end
[03:50] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: then the guy on the other end can do whatever needs to be done
[03:50] <WebcamWonder> mib_ribrwqt8: Further questions regarding to networking can be addressed at ##networkign
[03:50] <Pici> xsg: #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:50] <bbzez> Cpudan80, i have mint and ubuntu installed and i want to get rid of mint
[03:50] <Cpudan80> ok ... so do it?
[03:50] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: Oh thanks
[03:50] <bbzez> right..... uhhh :P
[03:50] <bbzez> im in gparted
[03:50] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: ##networking if you want to talk more
[03:50] <bbzez> it says linux-swap whats that
[03:51] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: So it will have to be a socket connection?
[03:51] <WebcamWonder> !swap | bbzez
[03:51]  * Cpudan80 points to ##networking
[03:51] <n8tuser> xubuntu do not send me porn, its inappropiate to send me files i have not asked for
[03:51] <Cpudan80>  /join ##networking
[03:51] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: thanks .. u've helped enuff! :D
[03:51] <Cpudan80> alright
[03:51] <xubuntu> lol it's my set up file :-)
[03:51] <mib_ribrwqt8> and a big FU to all the other wankers :D
[03:51] <xubuntu> you asked for what i wanted to do
[03:51] <EagleScreen> how I do to all terminal output to be in English?
[03:52] <n8tuser> xubuntu you post it in pastebin for everyone to see
[03:52] <Cpudan80> It is in English ?
[03:52] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  when i delete the partition does the grub change also
[03:53] <Cpudan80> well the new ubuntu would fix it
[03:53] <Cpudan80> but yes
[03:53] <xubuntu> how I do this ?
[03:53] <crdlb> xubuntu: use http://picpaste.com if you have an image
[03:53] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  is there any way to make your current ext3 bigger by adding  the unallocated space
[03:53] <robson> can someone point me to help for why my mouse and keyboard don't work in X?
[03:53] <Cpudan80> bbzez: please ask the whole channel
[03:53] <sirhcjw> CAn anyone help me with sun-java5-plugin for 64bit 8.10?
[03:53] <Cpudan80> bbzez: and yes - gparted
[03:54] <n8tuser> !pastebin | xubuntu
[03:54] <bbzez>  is there any way to make your current ext3 bigger by adding  the unallocated space
[03:54] <WebcamWonder> !java64 | sirhcjw
[03:54] <n8tuser> xubuntu or per crdlb
[03:54] <bbzez> im in gparted cant find what to do
[03:54] <iam> rose
[03:55] <iam> rose
[03:55] <sirhcjw> !java64
[03:55] <sirhcjw> ahh i see thanks
[03:57] <robson> how can i configure xorg to use a keyboard and mouse if it is supposed to auto detect them now? i tried manually adding them but it fails
[03:57] <xubuntu> picpaste.com seems to be slow
[03:57] <usser> robson, Xorg -config
[03:59] <robson> usser: do you recommend any flags to get going? there's tons
[03:59] <robson> nevermind i got it i think
[03:59] <usser> robson, well Xorg -config should generate the file for you
[04:00] <xubuntu> this is the link for my set-up http://picpaste.com/setup.jpg
[04:00] <robson> usser: it said it requires another option, so i gave it a location and it popped up an X session
[04:00] <robson> usser: i can't seem to do anything in this session though
[04:01] <usser> robson, oh my bad Xorg -configure
[04:01] <wolter> is there a way i can assign an icon to a folder from the terminal, or from a python script (preferable)
[04:01] <wolter> ?
[04:01] <Sa[i]nT> What do I gotta do to see windows shares on a lan network?
[04:01] <usser> robson, kill that session with ctrl+alt+backspace and rerun the command with -configure
[04:02] <P_Kable> hi there
[04:03] <xubuntu> somebody has an idea ? http://picpaste.com/setup.jpg
[04:03] <Laughalots_alt> if I run livecd for ubuntu 8.10, where does my hard drive mount to?
[04:03] <P_Kable> I used to be able to chose another driver doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it is no longer among the options ... did I miss something ?
[04:04] <robson> usser: can't ctrl+alt+backspace, but i got it killed. -configure failed because it said "fglrx: no matching device section for instance (busid pci:0@3:0:0) found"
[04:04] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, it should be mounted under /media/<drivename>
[04:04] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> ummm...what you wanted done?
[04:04] <crdlb> xubuntu: is there some practical goal for this?
[04:04] <Laughalots_alt> wolter, not seeing it...
[04:04] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, if it was mounted, you would see it under the places menu.
[04:04] <xubuntu> yes to try firewall,dhcp server config etc
[04:04] <Laughalots_alt> wolter I accidently deleted my fstab, so I've been directed to copy the one from livecd and paste it to my hard drive
[04:04] <Laughalots_alt> do you know of a better way?
[04:05] <Sa[i]nT> What do I gotta do to see windows shares on a lan network?
[04:05] <usser> robson, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:05] <P_Kable> What is the new command to change driver used by Xorg please? I used to be able to chose another driver doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it is no longer among the options ... did I miss something ?
[04:05] <vock> Sa[i]nT, on the windows side or linux side?
[04:05] <Emulashun> does anyone have a workaround for the "sr0: CDROM not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the drive" I/O buffer problem in Intrepid Ibex???
[04:05] <Sa[i]nT> vock, I have Ubuntu. I wanna see the windows users on my network.
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, how many partitions does it have?
[04:06] <Laughalots_alt> should only have 1
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, do you remember its /dev/<drive ID> address?
[04:06] <wolter> ok
[04:06] <robson> usser: i did that as well as aticonfigure. i tried with just the dpkg and also with both
[04:06] <Laughalots_alt> no
[04:06] <xubuntu> for example setting up a DHCP server on my laptop and get an IP adress from that server but on my laptop
[04:06] <Laughalots_alt> wolter can I private msg you?
[04:06] <usser> robson, so you should have xorg.conf in place already
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, open terminal and type /dev/, then press tab twice
[04:06] <usser> robson, aticonfig --initial too?
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, don't, this thing is going under the log
[04:06] <robson> usser: yes
[04:07] <Laughalots_alt> k
[04:07] <usser> robson, and it still doesnt start?
[04:07] <xubuntu> to divide my laptop in both router servers and clients but with only one physical interface
[04:07] <Laughalots_alt> k, I see quite a few options
[04:07] <usser> robson, can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:07] <Laughalots_alt> disk/ ?
[04:07] <robson> usser: i'd think it's due to me possibly installing fglrx incorrectly but the mouse and keyboard are what're broken. X starts but with no keyboard or mouse
[04:07] <robson> usser: does ubuntu have a command line tool to paste like wpaste for gentoo?
[04:08] <usser> robson, pastebinit
[04:08] <Laughalots_alt> what is this telling me wolter?
[04:08] <Mr_Cool59> does anybody know how to get a x-fi notebook to work with ubuntu 8.10
[04:08] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, did you get any autocompletions? This is telling you what physical drives your computer is detecting
[04:09] <robson> usser: http://pastebin.com/f72597c6c
[04:09] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, you could also run $ cd /dev/ && ls
[04:09] <Laughalots_alt> there were a few options
[04:09] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, which?
[04:10] <Tortel> are any firewalls installed by default?
[04:10] <usser> robson, hm this doesnt look right, it tries to load every module there is, probably result of Xorg -configure command
[04:10] <usser> robson, can u back up your xorg.conf
[04:10] <Laughalots_alt> block/ disk/ input/ shm/ .udev/ bus/ fd/ net/ snd/ usb/ char/ .initramfs/ pts/ .static/
[04:10] <robson> usser: that was Xorg -configure. aticonfig --inital is: http://pastebin.com/f7eef5f18
[04:10] <usser> robson, and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with blank xorg.conf
[04:11] <Mr_Cool59> does anybody know how to get a x-fi notebook to work with ubuntu 8.10
[04:11] <robson> usser: and dpkg is: http://pastebin.com/f727b5928
[04:12] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, i messed up, sorry, let me search for something to help you
[04:12] <Laughalots_alt> k
[04:12] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, that was the wrong directory
[04:12] <usser> robson, hm it looks like it cant load dri, can u uncomment the line module dri
[04:12] <usser> robson, err comment it out
[04:13] <ubuntu_> wolter, chat to this. I got my live cd up and xchat installed
[04:13] <kyleyochum> hello, i'm running fiesty fawn, and i can't seem to install the kde bluetooth framework
[04:13] <c0rrupt0r> I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a Logitech USB Headset and my sound is only being detected though my tower speaker, I am using the Default sound drivers. and have tried to switch over though the volume control and the sound settings under system preferences to configure my headset and no go any suggestions?
[04:13] <kyleyochum> using the add/remove apps interface (synaptic i think) i get an error, should i show in chat? forums seem not to be working
[04:13] <wolter> ubuntu_, what do you mean with chat to this?
[04:14] <dirthead> does fglrx not work with the latest ubuntu kernel?
[04:14] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, run $ sudo mount /dev/sd (press tab twice)
[04:14] <Laughalots_alt> sorry wolter im signing in with livecd on my actual computer
[04:14] <tritium> dirthead: it does
[04:14] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, ok, but do that
[04:14] <squidly> i've got an issue with my Lenovo y510 sound. For some reason it wont be loud. It's always quite. I've checked the forums and the solutions there did not help
[04:14] <dirthead> then I'm doing something very wrong
[04:14] <robson> usser: i don't see any mention of DRI or dri in any xorg.confs i have made
[04:14] <squidly> also my google foo is not good either :(
[04:15] <laughalots> wolter its not in my fstab or mtab
[04:15] <robson> usser: if the problem is dri then perhaps it's a problem with my fglrx install, but i didn't think that'd stop the mouse or keyboard from working when the video does
[04:15] <usser> robson, yea thats weird
[04:15] <robson> usser: i got some error when trying to install fglrx saying to do something i didn't understand
[04:15] <usser> robson, was it trying to build module?
[04:16] <wolter> laughalots, what? just run now $ cd /dev/ && ls sda*
[04:16] <laughalots> I have sda1 sda sda2 sda5 sdb sdc sdd sde
[04:16] <robson> usser: something like that, i'm re-installing to remember
[04:16] <kyleyochum> anyone who can help: i cant seem to install kde bluetooth framework on my system using fiesty.... when i try to install via add/remove apps (synaptic) the following errors are returned:
[04:16] <Tortel> whats a command to display my private ip address?
[04:16] <usser> robson,
[04:16] <laughalots> nothing shows
[04:16] <usser> ok
[04:17] <wolter> ok, now $ mkdir /media/Drive && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Drive
[04:17] <wolter> laughalots, that should mount your drive
[04:17] <laughalots> hmm

[04:17] <xubuntu> My situation : I get an IP from a DHCP server on eth0 (192.168.0.X). I would like to set my laptop as a (router,server etc..) and provide an other IP inside my laptop (Virtual interface ? tunneling ?) in order to test the implementation of servers or firewall etc. Any idea ?

[04:19] <ush> ubuntu sucks
[04:19] <ush> what are you people thinking
[04:19] <ush> it's like windows with a linux kernel
[04:19] <kyleyochum> ush why are you here?
[04:19] <DeeDotDee> ush: What do you suggest, Debian?
[04:19] <DeeDotDee> word
[04:19] <Tortel> anyway
[04:19] <laughalots> wolter so now all I need to do is copy the fstab from the live cd to the hdd?
[04:19] <ramirand> xubuntu: Consider a virtual machine>
[04:19] <ramirand> ?
[04:19] <Tortel> thanks ramirand
[04:20] <xubuntu> yes if I consider a virual machine it has its own IP on each interface
[04:20] <tritium> bruenig: why do you allow your arch friends in here to troll?
[04:20] <wolter> laughalots, yes, but in the right path, make sure you get that right
[04:20] <laughalots> k
[04:20] <bruenig> tritium: ush is out of my control, I didn't even know he was in here
[04:20] <robson> usser: it's not giving me the error again, but it told me to use a 4 letter command to build something probably a module and it mentioned my kernel
[04:20] <tritium> bruenig: I know you can't control them...
[04:21] <ush_> i'm here to offer guidance
[04:21] <ush_> not to criticize
[04:21] <wolter> laughalots, before anything, check if you have a /media/Drive/etc/fstab.backup ..
[04:21] <ush_> but to correct faults, first you must acknowledge the faults
[04:21] <bruenig> slightly funny though, must admit
[04:21] <usser> robson, im not sure what you talking about with 4 letter command? what was it exactly dkms?
[04:21] <kyleyochum> can someone try downloading kde bluetooth framework using the add/remove... interface located under the applications menu, it wont download for me, just curious if thats just me, or if their server is down...
[04:21] <robson> usser: yes
[04:21] <Baatti> hey folks, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to solve this problem...
[04:22] <robson> usser: i tried googling it and following some directions but it told me to do a command ending in what i think was an fglrx module and it wasn't there
[04:22] <bruenig> probably going to have to block the whole syracuse subnet
[04:22] <c0rrupt0r> I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a Logitech USB Headset and my sound is only being detected though my tower speaker, I am using the Default sound drivers. and have tried to switch over though the volume control and the sound settings under system preferences to configure my headset and no go any suggestions?
[04:22] <laughalots> wolter thanks so much for the help. I had already completely overwritten my previous fstab--if there is a backup I'll be very lucky
[04:22] <tritium> bruenig: I was just going to say, he's making a bad name for syracuse
[04:22] <wolter> laughalots, is there any?
[04:22] <robson> modprobe fglrx does nothing either
[04:22] <laughalots> wolter no fstab.backup
[04:22] <usser> robson, do u have build-essential and kernel-headers packages installed? as well as dkms
[04:22] <Baatti> I am unable to load flash games like at kongregate.com ... Flash videos are playing fine though, like at Youtube and CNET
[04:22] <wolter> laughalots, well, you know where the fstab from the live cd is?
[04:23] <laughalots> wolter /etc/fstab
[04:23] <xubuntu> I don't know if I use the loopback interface it will work
[04:23] <laughalots> copied over now
[04:23] <tritium> bruenig: why did you think that was odd?
[04:23] <laughalots> wolter should I make any edits to the fstab?
[04:23] <wolter> laughalots, ok, nicely done.. normal boot now, and tell me how it went
[04:23] <Tortel> heres something funny for you all: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y283/Tortel/SSPX0101.jpg
[04:23] <Tortel> deal of the century!
[04:23] <wolter> laughalots, well, you could open it and pastebin it, ill compare it with mine
[04:23] <laughalots> wolter will do--if I'm 20 minutes getting back then I had to restart with the live cd
[04:23] <laughalots> pastebin?
[04:24] <bruenig> tritium: think what was odd? that you sort of said I was aiding his trolling?
[04:24] <wolter> !paste | laughalots
[04:24] <robson> usser: yes to the first, but kernel-headers doesn't exist but is referred to by another package
[04:24] <xubuntu> if my interface eth0 got <IP_ADDRESS> how can I set up a DHCP server inside my laptop to test ?
[04:24] <laughalots> wolter so I type !paste | laughlots "text here" ?
[04:24] <robson> usser: linux-libc-dev is possibly kernel-headers and i have that
[04:24] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> to which hosts are you going to served it too?
[04:25] <wolter> laughalots, no, thats just for ubottu to tell you how to do it
[04:25] <usser> robson, yea its actually linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic but that depends on your kernel
[04:25] <xubuntu> that is the question
[04:25] <laughalots> !paste | laughalots
[04:25] <usser> robson, do uname -a to find out the version of the kernel and install appropriate headers
[04:25] <izinucs> How do I find my ssh password on a box on my lan?  I accessed it yesterday from the lan but today it doesn't like the password?
[04:25] <xubuntu> if it is possible to create a virtual network inside the laptop
[04:25] <kyleyochum> tortel, where did you find that? they should be reported to the better business beauro (sp?)
[04:25] <avgeneral> help! M6827, X3100 my fn keys for brightness up/down do not work
[04:25] <robson> usser: i did apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r` but found nothing
[04:26] <robson> oh woops
[04:26] <usser> robson, its linux-headers my bad
[04:26] <xubuntu> for example a virtual <IP_ADDRESS> passing through a router,DHCP,firewall and outpout on eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:26] <xubuntu> and all inside one machine
[04:26] <robson> usser: i missed that, now it's installing
[04:26] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> then a vm like vmware or vbox would fit
[04:26] <Tortel> kyleyochum: that was at bestbuy, where else would they do something stupid like that?
[04:27] <laughalots> wolter http://paste.ubuntu.com/113471/
[04:27] <avgeneral> help! my brightness keys up/down don't work
[04:27] <xubuntu> I have to use a VM, you think there is no other option ?
[04:27] <bpun> laughalots: not autofs instead of autfs?
[04:27] <robson> usser: it indicated at the end that it was installing the fglrx module and now modprobe doesn't error when i do modprobe fglrx but X still fails
[04:27] <bpun> laughalots: that's funny!
[04:27] <laughalots> bpun what do you mean
[04:27] <xubuntu> which soft for VM under xubuntu live USB ?
[04:28] <avgeneral> avgeneral: is my name
[04:28] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> even though it does not make sense, your clients for your dchp has to be serving 10.x.x.x.
[04:28] <bpun> laughalots: never seen an autfs for /
[04:28] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> even though it does not make sense, your clients for your dchp has to be getting ip address of 10.x.x.x.
[04:28] <usser> robson, so after u installed headers you reran the installer?
[04:28] <usser> robson, pastebin your xorg.conf
[04:28] <laughalots> bpun I overwrote my fstab with an iso image--using livecd to replace the fstab on the hard drive
[04:28] <yaris123456789> is there an emule/edonkey client for linux ?
[04:28] <bpun> laughalots: hahahhaahaahha
[04:28] <robson> usser: after doing aticonfig or dpkg?
[04:28] <laughalots> bpun wolter took off--he was helping me with it
[04:29] <usser> robson, dpkg
[04:29] <bpun> laughalots: hahahahahahaha
[04:29] <laughalots> bpun is there an error then in the fstab?
[04:29] <marko-_-> yaris123456789, there is amule
[04:29] <bpun> laughalots: everything
[04:29] <yaris123456789> i am looking for a simple command line
[04:29] <wolter> laughalots, it is very strange...
[04:29] <laughalots> bpun ?
[04:29] <yaris123456789> for dling from emule
[04:29] <bpun> laughalots: hahahahahaha
[04:29] <xubuntu> but it will work if I have my VM with 10.X and gateway my real eth0 192.168.0
[04:29] <wolter> laughalots, can you open gparted?
[04:29] <laughalots> wolter whats that
[04:29] <bpun> wolter, gparted and not gfarted? hahahahaha
[04:29] <robson> usser: http://pastebin.com/f5db7d991
[04:29] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> again it does not make sense, why would you do such
[04:30] <wolter> bpun, ok, the guy is having problems, would you like to help or not?
[04:30] <yaris123456789> i am looking for something close to rtorrent, but for downloading from emule / edonkey
[04:30] <wolter> laughalots, run $ sudo gparted
[04:30] <bpun> wolter:  i just did hahahaha... no such thing as autfs
[04:30] <Level_5> any wireless experts in the channel? I need some help configuring a broadcom wireless card
[04:30] <usser> robson, hm add keyboard and mouse sections something like that
[04:30] <xubuntu> to implement server without using an other PC
[04:30] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> one thing i can tell you, your nic can have  multiple ip addresses at diff subnets
[04:30] <wolter> laughalots, that will tell you which partitions do you have, where, and which filesystem they have
[04:30] <laughalots> k
[04:31] <yoyit2> ok so i kant play mp4 files.. how do i play them? (through totem)
[04:31] <xubuntu> that's why i was thinking about virtual interface
[04:31] <laughalots> wolter --open--I can tell that sda1 is my main partition with my files--im assumming the rest are from LiveCD
[04:31] <xubuntu> for example eth0:0 and eth0:1
[04:31] <wolter> laughalots, is sda5 a swap?
[04:31] <bpun> laughalots: "/" should be somthing like this "<guess> /                       ext3    defaults        1 1"
[04:32] <laughalots> wolter yes
[04:32] <n8tuser> xubuntu you need to read up more on networking..
[04:32] <xubuntu> on possibility to do this on linux more :-)
[04:32] <usser> robson, http://pastebin.com/m6525021e
[04:32] <xubuntu> with a VM no problem it works
[04:32] <squidly> xubuntu: that is called sub interfaces
[04:32] <squidly> most times you dont want/need them
[04:32] <Baatti> hi, firefox is loading and playing flash videos, but not games. I'm not having much luck on forums either
[04:33] <bpun> Baatti: maybe cuse u have no game!
[04:33] <bpun> Baatti: hahahahah
[04:33] <wolter> laughalots, ok, then the fstab you have is not completely wrong..
[04:33] <laughalots> k
[04:33] <wolter> laughalots, hold on
[04:33] <xubuntu> yes but I believe that routing was not working for sub interface
[04:33] <kbrosnan> Baatti: link? might be shockwave director which has no native linux player
[04:33] <bpun> xubuntu: subinterface is one word beyatch
[04:33] <Baatti> kbrosnan link to a game that wont work?
[04:33] <tritium> bpun: language, please
[04:34] <laughalots> wolter will do
[04:34] <kbrosnan> Baatti: yes please
[04:34] <Baatti> ok
[04:34] <whileimhere> Hi. Okay I see that I cannot use iTunes under Ubuntu. Is there any good alternative to purchase my mp3s ?
[04:34] <usser> whileimhere, magnatunes with amarok
[04:34] <bpun> Baatti: shockwave last i heard not avail for *nx
[04:34] <usser> whileimhere, magnatune sorry
[04:34] <usser> whileimhere, amazon
[04:34] <xubuntu> but if I want to set up a VM on linux what is the best way ?
[04:34] <usser> xubuntu, virtualbox
[04:35] <bpun> xubuntu: there is no best way..
[04:35] <usser> !best
[04:35] <bpun> xubuntu: but use a vm hypervisor and kernel that support vm..
[04:35] <xubuntu> ok and I have to DL a linux image ?
[04:35] <bpun> xubuntu: and of course the processor vm feature
[04:35] <xubuntu> I am under xubuntu live USB at the moment
[04:35] <whileimhere> I found this site http://www.mp3va.com/ it seems to have everything I want and its really cheap. Is there a way to tell if its legal for this site?
[04:36] <xubuntu> I know how works VMware under windows but linux :-(
[04:36] <Baatti> kbrosnan ok what the heck....for some odd reason, it works fine now.
[04:36] <Baatti> kbrosnan: heh, thanks anyway thoguh
[04:36] <bpun> whileimhere: see if they have a real phone# u can reach them and leave a burp message
[04:36] <kbrosnan> Baatti: well glad i could fix that for you :)
[04:36] <Baatti> :P
[04:36] <c0rrupt0r> I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a Logitech USB Headset and my sound is only being detected though my tower speaker, I am using the Default sound drivers. and have tried to switch over though the volume control and the sound settings under system preferences to configure my headset and no go any suggestions?
[04:37] <whileimhere> moscow phone #
[04:37] <xubuntu> so I will try to figure it out, thank you for your support
[04:37] <oneeyedelf1> is there any way to kill a process when kill -9 doesn't work?
[04:37] <bpun> lol.. it's russian.. definitely untrustful mafia business
[04:37] <robson> usser: the mouse works for sure! the keyboard may, but i have no clue how to use ion
[04:37] <robson> usser: nothing i typed did anything except ctrl+alt+backspace which didn't work before
[04:37] <xubuntu> so good bye all
[04:37] <tuxedocurly> hey guys i need some quick help, give me a moment an i will type my problem
[04:38] <robson> usser: oh it does work, i hit some random keys and menus popped up. thanks so much!
[04:39] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: take your time :)
[04:39] <tuxedocurly> I have a 1TB calvalry external hard drive that i recently tried to install ubuntu server edition onto. It partitioned the drive and worked fine, but then i found an internal drive that i decided to install ubuntu server edition on instead. Now i am stuck with a 1TB hard drive that wont register in windows and is seperated into 4 different partitions. How can i unpartition (or reformat) it and make windows register it again? all help would be app
[04:39] <robson> usser: i have to restart now though because ctrl+alt+backspace made the creen almost unreadable
[04:39] <usser> robson, do you 3d acceleration though
[04:40] <usser> robson, what do you mean what happened, ctrl+alt+backspace should drop you to terminal
[04:40] <usser> robson, or to the login screen
[04:40] <usser> robson, if u use gdm
[04:40] <robson> usser: it did, but the screen was all fuzzy
[04:40] <usser> robson, hm thats fishy
[04:41] <laughalots> wolter you still around?
[04:41] <robson> usser: i fixed it somehow. it happened in gentoo too btw, my gfx card probably sucks, it's a laptop
[04:41] <Chaorain> Can two versions of linux share the same swap partion? Both are Ubuntu (8.10) based
[04:41] <usser> robson, i gots to go buy some smokes, try running glxinfo | grep direct if it says yes and fglrx module is loaded you're all set
[04:41] <tuxedocurly> any ideas on how to fix my problem? =]
[04:41] <usser> robson, still just to be safe run aticonfig --initial
[04:42] <c0rrupt0r> ok guess no one can answer my question
[04:42] <wolter> laughalots, yeah sorry, i am making it for you
[04:42] <laughalots> wolter oh! okay! I appreciate that
[04:42] <zac> Can any1 help me with an ubuntu problem??
[04:42] <robson> usser: alright thanks a ton
[04:42] <tuxedocurly> any ideas about my hard drive problem guys?
[04:43] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: windows only recognizes ntfs or fat32 partitions... so delete all the partitions, and reformat it into ntfs or fat32
[04:43] <zac> im haven troble opening alot of my programs like firewox,, any ideas
[04:43] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: how?
[04:43] <wolter> laughalots, do you have a separate home partition?
[04:43] <ramirand> tuxedocurly: In Ubuntu? Try gparted
[04:44] <laughalots> wolter what do you mean
[04:44] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: well, you could connect it to your linux box, and use either a nifty gui tool like "gparted", or a combination of commandline tools
[04:44] <Chaorain> Can two linux OS's share the same swap partition?
[04:44] <laughalots> wolter will giving all results from gparted give you the information you need?
[04:44] <Light-> Chaorain, yes
[04:44] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: (namely, fdisk, and mkfs)
[04:44] <zac> any1 want to help me?
[04:44] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: i have gparted but i dont nknow how to work it
[04:44] <wolter> laughalots, no no
[04:44] <laughalots> wolter k
[04:44] <nanotube> just plug in the drive, open gparted, and things will become evident :)
[04:44] <Chaorain> Light-, ok. any special setup?
[04:45] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: and you could probably find some gparted tutorials on the web, if they don't.
[04:45] <Light-> Chaorain, no, just tell them both to use the partition as swap
[04:45] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: yes.. but is there any way i can take my 4 partitions and turn them into 1 again?
[04:45] <user5> agna
[04:45] <Chaorain> Light-, Woot linux is so much easier than windows. and cooler
[04:45] <nanotube> Chaorain: yes, as long as they both aren't running at the same time :)
[04:45] <ramirand> tuxedocurley: gparted lets you edit the partitions.
[04:45] <Light-> nanotube, is that even possible?
[04:45] <tuxedocurly> alright
[04:46] <tuxedocurly> im going to go try to fix everything now! if i need further help, i will return
[04:46] <tuxedocurly> thanks!
[04:46] <Chaorain> nanotube, lol not a problem there
[04:46] <ramirand> tuxedocurley: You can delete them all and make a new one.  Will it be able to detect ubuntu. It looks mostly organized.
[04:50] <ryanprior> zelakt: Sure, but once it launches, it runs quite fast.
[04:50] <laughalots> wolter not ubuntu--usb
[04:50] <ryanprior> zelakt: Are you closing and opening your text editor a lot for some reason?
[04:50] <sammichweasel> Might as well try.  I have never used Linux before - how do I run patches to applications?
[04:51] <nellmathew> after a clean install do i need to get RID of anything before using ndiswrapper? (i'm not talking about blacklisting)
[04:51] <Vozzy311> i don't mean to interupt, but any of you skilled with wifi drivers?
[04:51] <ryanprior> !wifi | Vozzy311
[04:51] <c0rrupt0r> no one can help my issue with Audio?
[04:51] <ryanprior> !audio | c0rrupt0r
[04:51] <laughalots> wolter I organized it--do the numbers of spaces and the like matter?
[04:51] <jokkah> c0rrupt0r: whats your issue'?
[04:51] <zelakt> ryanprior: yeah, just force of habit. on your recommendation i'm tweaking it a bit and it's not bad
[04:52] <ramirand> c0rrupt0r: Wish I could, man, never tried USB audio.
[04:52] <jokkah> c0rrupt0r: ?
[04:52] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: hmm.. well now that all i have left is "unallocated" it wont let me select partition--->format to--->fat32 why is that?
[04:52] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: and what should i do?
[04:52] <wolter> laughalots, no
[04:52] <nellmathew> meaning, the default wireless connections thing that comes up (which doesn't work).. do i need to uninstall that somehow?.. i'm guessing after blacklisting it'll just stop loading altogether right?
[04:52] <Light-> tuxedocurly, gotta create a partition on the unallocated space, THEN format to fat32
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> tuxedocurly: you have to create a partition first, then format the partition
[04:52] <ryanprior> zelakt: If you can change your habits somewhat, ctrl+n opens a new buffer, and ctrl+w closes a buffer.
[04:52] <Droopsta915> What ubuntu program will burn avi to dvd?
[04:52] <ryanprior> zelakt: Those actions occur instantaneously.
[04:52] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: first, /create/ a partition in the unallocated space
[04:53] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: /then/ format that partition
[04:53] <wolter> laughalots, to be honest, my fsab has some strange numbers called UIDS instead of the "/dev/sda1" stuff, but i think it doesn't matter..
[04:53] <JRKR> hey
[04:53] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: you can't skip the step of creating partition :)
[04:53] <c0rrupt0r> ubottu ok i will try that thank you
[04:53] <Vozzy311> http://pastebin.com/d43a0dd79
[04:53] <JRKR> q
[04:53] <Hurley_> hello
[04:53] <Vozzy311> that's the readme on the file i need to install
[04:53] <Vozzy311> idk howto
[04:53] <Light-> wolter, its a "security" feature I think, so someone cant look at your /etc/fstab and figure out what drives to steal
[04:53] <jokkah> GNAA IS FUN
[04:53] <Droopsta915> ubottu!
[04:53] <jokkah> lol
[04:53] <FloodBot1> jokkah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:54] <Light-> jokkah, I agree
[04:54] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: sorry.. i've never dealt with this partition stuff before.. ha ha, yes.. im ignorant to much of this. alright.. select primary or extended partition?
[04:54] <Light-> tuxedocurly, if its the first partition on the disk, primary
[04:54] <spritle> is there any reason the vbox steals the audio while its open?
[04:54] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: we all started from there at some point. :)
[04:54] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: primary
[04:54] <tritium> jokkah: warning
[04:54] <MaxPower9> #grc
[04:54] <spritle> any way to make it so ubuntu and vbox can use sound simultaneously?
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> Light-: No, it's so that the same drive always mounts the same way.  It's possible for the /dev/sda1 variety to get switched around, whereas UUID is a unique identifier.
[04:54] <Hurley_> i have a nforce chipset 750a. I installed a mirrored drive (raid 1) and i installed ubuntu 8.10. I see on the installation dialog two hard drive. Why can i see two hard drive on RAID 1 mirrored?
[04:54] <Droopsta915> WHat application can I use  to burn .avi movies into dvd?
[04:54] <jokkah> tritium: i just noticed the flood
[04:55] <Light-> tonyyarusso, ahh thankyou for that, I always wondered about it
[04:55] <tritium> jokkah: please don't repeat it
[04:55] <jokkah> tritium: sure, i dont do that kind of things..
[04:55] <tritium> jokkah: thanks
[04:55] <linduxed> im having a problem with java that ive only encountered on ubuntu, so far other linuxes, mac and even windows have not had this:
[04:55] <linduxed> this java based app called bluej has its menus dissapearing (all... rigthclick, top-bar...) as if all menus had OnReleaseMouse = close.
[04:55] <linduxed> also the window is odd, cant be resized and isnt showing up as an open app in the taskbar...
[04:55] <jokkah> tritium: are you a bot?

[04:55] <CyBurnett> I have 3 icons on my desktop that correspond to HDD that has been divided into 3 partitions. How con I rename them rather than have the default name like 158GB Media?
[04:55] <sammichweasel> Anyone?  Running patches for apps?
[04:55] <jokkah> tritium:why do you say i do that kind of things? are you drunk?
[04:56] <shingalated> YES
[04:56] <Flannel> jokkah: Please stay on topic.
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> CyBurnett: set the "label" on the partition with a partition editor.
[04:56] <Light-> sammichweasel, to
[04:56] <tritium> jokkah: stay on topic, please
[04:56] <Light-> sammichweasel, are you patching the source?
[04:56] <wolter> Hi, can somebody explain me/point me to documentation to know how to transfer files from a vista machine to ubuntu machine through a usb cable?
[04:56] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: I'm not sure what you mean. Is it a source patch?
[04:56] <sammichweasel> Light- :: To tell you the truth, I have no clue.  I just got up and running
[04:56] <CyBurnett> tonyyarusso, Like Gparted?
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> CyBurnett: yeah
[04:57] <sammichweasel> I've never used Linux before.
[04:57] <Light-> sammichweasel, what are you being asked to patch?
[04:57] <CyBurnett> Thank you :)
[04:57] <sammichweasel> Light- :: I'm trying to patch up Wine ^.^
[04:57] <CyBurnett> tonyyarusso, Thank you :)
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> wolter: I don't know, but I can tell you that it would probably be way easier over a network cable than USB.
[04:57] <Light-> !wine | sammichweasel
[04:57] <Flannel> sammichweasel: patch it for what?
[04:57] <JRKR> what
[04:57] <Light-> sammichweasel, the wine binary should work with no patches
[04:57] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: Don't bother patching Wine. It's updated with the latest source code every 2 weeks or so. :-)
[04:57] <lucax> i got some parts of nautilus in english and i want them to be in spanish... dont know whats wrong... ive installed support-es gnome-es bla bla bla but no changes, plus dont have any other language installed... any ideas?
[04:58] <wolter> tonyyarusso, well, i've been told usb is faster
[04:58] <sammichweasel> Light-, ryanprior :: Then I guess I have a different problem - DirectX and .Net Frameworks don't appear to work, leaving multiple programs without the means to run
[04:58] <tonyyarusso> wolter: USB 2.0 is faster than 100Mbit, but slower than gigabit.  But, I've at least heard of ways to do it with ethernet.  :P
[04:59] <Light-> sammichweasel, theyre not supposed to, thats Microsoft crap that only runs on windows
[04:59] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: Don't try to install Microsoft's DirectX -- Wine has its own implementation.
[04:59] <ryanprior> As far as .Net, I think efforts to get that working fully are ongoing, and any patches you find will only solve the problems partially.
[04:59] <Light-> sammichweasel, WINE has its own implementation of DirectX, and you can use Mono to run .NET apps
[04:59] <wolter> tonyyarusso, yeah well, I tried to do it with ethernet but i wouldn't get more than 2mb/s
[04:59] <sammichweasel> ryanprior :: Then, if something that works with DirectX isn't functioning in Wine, should I go find a Wine channel or something?
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sammichweasel correct
[04:59] <marissa> can someone give me a hand please? i just installed ubuntu and im trying to get skype to work. it seems to be able to pick up my mic when i plug in an external mic but when i pull it out it doesnt seem to pick up the mic thats built into my laptop
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> wolter: old card?
[05:00] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: Wine has a great resource called the AppDB (you can google it) that tells you what programs work well and what ones don't.
[05:00] <ramirand> wolter: I think USB 2.0 is something like 480Mb/s, so gigabit ethernet is faster, and 100Mb/s ethernet isn't THAT much slower - how much data are you moving?
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb > sammichweasel
[05:00] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: So, they may already know that the app you're trying to run isn't well supported yet. If you're familiar with bug trackers, they can use your help in reporting bugs.
[05:00] <sammichweasel> ryanprior :: Thanks for the info
[05:01] <L_Y> how can i change the splash ?
[05:01] <laughalots> wolter worked like a charm
[05:01] <Light-> sammichweasel, you also cant expect to run windows applications on Linux properly. Look for a linux alternative
[05:01] <sammichweasel> Jack_Sparrow :: Thanks for the heads up
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[05:01] <laughalots> wolter thanks SOOOOO much for the help
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> !splash| L_Y
[05:01] <c0rrupt0r> would it be causing a problem with audio if everything is saying pulseaudio at the end of it in sound settings..and im not using pulseaudio?
[05:01] <ramirand> wolter: I just moved 160GB pretty quick over 100Mb/s ethernet, didn't take that long.
[05:01] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: However, you should realize that Wine is still very incomplete software and that in many cases you're better off looking for a Linux equivalent of Windows software rather than using Wine.
[05:01] <sammichweasel> Light- :: Oh, I know, just trying to get my games workin' right ^.^

[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> sammichweasel dual boot.. dont think wine or those will get you the performance you will expect
[05:02] <marissa> can someone give me a hand please? i just installed ubuntu and im trying to get skype to work. it seems to be able to pick up my mic when i plug in an external mic but when i pull it out it doesnt seem to pick up the mic thats built into my laptop
[05:02] <sammichweasel> Jack_Sparrow :: Le sigh.  Guess that means I need to actually throw the other HDD in here.
[05:02] <sammichweasel> Alright, thanks everyone!  Guess that'll do for tonight
[05:02] <Light-> Sussa_, do you have build-essential installed?
[05:03] <CyBurnett> I tried to rename my partitions with gparted but I cant find an option to rename
[05:03] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: how long should this take with a slow 1.8 GHZ processor? ha ha
[05:03] <Light-> Sussa_, those missing .h files are standard C headers
[05:03] <ryanprior> How do I disable 3-button mouse emulation (where right click + left click = middle click)?
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> CyBurnett I am busy .. but you would to manually LABEL them, or setup mount points in fstab
[05:04] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: could take a while... depends on the filesystem type you are putting on it...
[05:04] <nanotube> CyBurnett: what is the filesystem type of your partitions?
[05:04] <wolter> ramirand, linux-to-linux? vista gave me only 2mb/s ...
[05:04] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: putting it to a fat32 format is that what you mean?
[05:04] <Sussa_> Light-: hum, I don't :(
[05:04] <CyBurnett> nanotube, Fat
[05:05] <ramirand> wolter: Ah, yeah, linux to linux.
[05:05] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: right. that's what i mean.
[05:05] <robson> is there an opera package? i did apt-get install opera to no avail
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> nanotube 3 primary ntfs ext3, ext3, huge extended with a few ext3 and swap
[05:05] <Sussa_> Light-: I'll install it, just a minute :)
[05:05] <ramirand> wolter: All my Vista to Ubuntu experience is via wifi, so not really a good comparison.
[05:05] <Light-> Sussa_, ok :)
[05:05] <tuxedocurly> okay, well hey, thanks for your help!!!!
[05:05] <nanotube> CyBurnett: you need mtools, then. see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive
[05:06] <CyBurnett> nanotube, they are not usb drives though does that matter?
[05:06] <Sylphid> ryanprior, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1013430
[05:07] <nanotube> Jack_Sparrow: well, ext3 can be labeled with e2label, ntfs with ntfslabel
[05:07] <Cotowar> hi
[05:07] <sauvin> My girlfriend is trying to install mythbuntu by first booting into the livecd. She gets STUCK with this message: (initramfs) [ 98.378061] end_request: I/o error, dev sr0, sector 1311872. What is 'sr0'?
[05:07] <CyBurnett> Cotowar, Hi :)
[05:07] <nanotube> CyBurnett: you can label any partitions... don't have to be on usb.
[05:07] <Cotowar> um, whats the command to rename files using mp3rename?
[05:07] <ramirand> sauvin: In my experience, that's a problem reading the livecd.
[05:08] <Cotowar> its the one that comes after mp3rename -s '&t'
[05:08] <the_dark_warrio> does glxinfo comes by default on ubuntu?
[05:08] <the_dark_warrio> my friend is trying to run it, but the command is not found
[05:08] <CyBurnett> nanotube, ok thaks, i'll go to the site you mention
[05:08] <nanotube> CyBurnett: ok good luck :)
[05:08] <Sylphid> ryanprior, i would try adding  Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" to you xorg.conf 1st though
[05:08] <tritium> the_dark_warrio: it's in mesa-utils
[05:09] <CyBurnett> nanotube, "I'll be Baaack!!"
[05:09] <nanotube> CyBurnett: :)
[05:09] <skate2> what's the best way to see all the services that are currently running ?
[05:09] <sauvin> ramirand, you may be right.
[05:09] <bmh> Anyone tell me how can I solve my bug. The problem here is I could not empty the trash folder in evolution
[05:09] <the_dark_warrio> tritium: thanks
[05:09] <SmileDay> Hello
[05:09] <nanotube> skate2: "ps ax" shows all processes
[05:09] <SmileDay> :-(
[05:10] <ramirand> sauvin: If you search on google a bit, you'll find a lot of people who hit that have luck burning the CD again, or they need other options to the boot so IO with the CD/DVD drive works better.
[05:10] <nanotube> skate2: though they are not all necessarily "services"... but linux doesn't really distinguish between a "service" and a regular process.
[05:10] <skate2> nanotube but that shows all process, including non services
[05:10] <skate2> nanotube i think i found it "service --status-all"
[05:10] <the_dark_warrio> tritium: he have mesa-utils, but no glxinfo..
[05:10] <sauvin> ramirand, she burned the ISO with brasero under ubuntu 8.10 64-bit. I've had crappy luck with debian lenny's brasero :\
[05:11] <tritium> the_dark_warrio: that doesn't make sense.  That's where it is.
[05:11] <riegersn> my add/remove programs app is empty!? but synaptic is working fine, so is good old apt-get, did I screw something up ?
[05:12] <ramirand> sauvin I'd try burning it again, maybe at a lower speed, or from another system. If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to search for problems with that particular motherboard and/or drive.
[05:12] <linlin> what can be used to fill a raid array with random data for stress testing?
[05:12] <linlin> what can be used to fill a raid array with random data quickly for stress testing?
[05:12] <sauvin> ramirand, the mobo/drive were OK, but we've had go-arounds with this system burning media before :\
[05:13] <nanotube> skate2: ah cool... didn't know about the "service" command. hell, it's not even documented in the man pages...
[05:13] <node357> I can't mute my microphone, and when I turn on mic boost I get high pitched squeeling feedback
[05:13] <c0rrupt0r> my audio settings show all accessible audio hardware but it will not work with no audio other then my tower speaker..even if i change other settings it still only will alow my tower speaker to work any suggestions please?
[05:13] <skate2> nanotube well there seems to be a manpage for it if you type 'whereis service' however it doesnt load for some stupid reason
[05:13] <ramirand> linlin: First thing that comes to mind is using dd, from /dev/random to the raid block device.
[05:13] <the_dark_warrio> tritium: its seems he should run glxgears before... but that doesn't make sense either
[05:13] <ramirand> linlin: don't know if that's optimal, though. Just a guess.
[05:14] <skate2> nanotube try: man /usr/share/man/man1/service.8.gz
[05:14] <linlin> ramirand: how would i go about un-doing that afterwords
[05:14] <ramirand> linlin: That's also going to be sequential... that's not "realistic" really.
[05:15] <ramirand> linlin: Well, that'd obviously trash anything on the array... so you'd just build a new filesystem on it when you're done.
[05:15] <linxuz3r> hey
[05:15] <nanotube> skate2: hm, yea, that works... i guess the manpage index is messed up...
[05:15] <lyrae> when using vsftpd, where is the default dir?
[05:15] <bmh> can anyone tell me how can i fix the problem to clean the trash folder in evolution?
[05:15] <linlin> ramirand: id like to try to create a random "file" on the array, that can simply be deleted when done
[05:15] <node357> I cannot mute my microphone
[05:16] <ramirand> Well, dd can write to files, too.
[05:16] <ramirand> linlin: Sorry, that last was to you.
[05:16] <linlin> something like cat /dev/random > garbage.file ? or would dd be better
[05:16] <ramirand> linlin: I'm pretty sure dd would be better.
[05:17] <ramirand> linlin: something like dd if=/dev/random of=garbage.file
[05:17] <amazin> and urandom
[05:17] <ramirand> linlin: amazin's right, I think random will block waiting for more "entropy"
[05:17] <riegersn> all apps are missing from add/remove app, can anyone help me out ?
[05:17] <ramirand> linlin: urandom doesn't block.
[05:18] <c0rrupt0r> my audio settings show all accessible audio hardware but it will not work with no audio other then my tower speaker..even if i change other settings it still only will alow my tower speaker to work any suggestions please?
[05:18] <linlin> ramirand: sorry what do you mean by doesnt block
[05:18] <Guest75893> hello.  I am using a Huawei E160G modem to connect to 3 australia.  It is much slower on xubuntu than on windows on the same computer.  any ideas??  I have tried google and got nothing.
[05:19] <ramirand> linlin: If you want it to be "fast", then you don't want the source device (/dev/random) to stop sending data while it calculates better random values. You want to take from /dev/urandom instead - it will give "good" random values right away instead of trying to come up with "better" random values.
[05:19] <linxuz3r> Guest75893: is that a 3g modem?
[05:19] <Guest75893> yes
[05:19] <robson> is there a package for the opera browser?
[05:20] <linxuz3r> does the 3g connect to a satellite or tower?
[05:20] <Guest75893> tower.
[05:20] <linxuz3r> robson: try synaptics
[05:20] <skate2> why would anyone want to use opera in linux :P
[05:20] <Sylphid> skate2, light weight
[05:20] <bmh> hmmm
[05:20] <linlin> ramirand: oh ok great, i just kinda figured that out just now by catting /dev/urandom....much more garbage than /dev/random
[05:20] <robson> linxuz3r: what's that have to do with the opera browser? i'm using the synaptics mouse driver anyway
[05:20] <skate2> we need google chrome
[05:21] <bmh> Did anyone meet the bug with evolution? Could not empty the trash folder
[05:21] <jedi06> is there a way to run memtest from inside ubuntu or do i need to put in a livecd
[05:21] <jedi06> and run it from there/
[05:22] <ph0rensic_> is this chat different than freenode???
[05:22] <supersako> hi
[05:22] <Flannel> ph0rensic_: No, this is freenode.
[05:22] <jedi06> this is freenode
[05:22] <supersako> this is freenode
[05:22] <robson> ph0rensic_: this is
[05:22] <supersako> lol
[05:22] <linxuz3r> robson: usually you use apt-get to search for ubuntu packages
[05:22] <Flannel> linxuz3r, robson: apt-cache search [stuff]
[05:22] <linxuz3r> robson: try sudo apt-cache search opera
[05:22] <jedi06> do i need to restart and boot from livecd to run memtest?
[05:22] <ph0rensic_> so does irc.ubuntu.com forward to freenode.net then?
[05:22] <Sylphid> jedi06, you dont need a live cd however to the best of my knowledge you cannot run memtest on a running system
[05:22] <robson> of course i know that
[05:22] <mikeshollen> Does Ubuntu have a built in firewall?
[05:22] <jedi06> ok thank you
[05:23] <Sylphid> jedi06, there should be a memtest option in grub
[05:23] <Flannel> ph0rensic_: Yes.
[05:23] <robson> first of all, searching "opera" gets way too many results, and if you filter them out, there's no opera browser i can find
[05:23] <c0rrupt0r> mikeshollen yes ubuntu has its own built in firewall
[05:23] <linxuz3r> mikeshollen: there is a software firewall. try firestarter
[05:23] <robson> and apt-cache search just sucks in general, i find it misses packages based on what their name is way too often
[05:23] <supersako> test
[05:24] <robson> so i'm just wondering if anyone knows it exists, cause i googled it and thought it should be "opera", but that fails
[05:24] <linduxed> im having a problem with java that ive only encountered on ubuntu, so far other linuxes, mac and even windows have not had this:
[05:24] <linduxed> this java based app called bluej has its menus dissapearing (all... rigthclick, top-bar...) as if all menus had OnReleaseMouse = close.
[05:24] <linxuz3r> robson: then try synaptic. the front end for apt
[05:24] <linduxed> also the window is odd, cant be resized and isnt showing up as an open app in the taskbar...
[05:24] <mikeshollen> How do I access the firewall?  I believe it's interfering with a game I'd like to run in Wine
[05:24] <Sylphid> robson,  opera is not in intrepids repos
[05:24] <robson> Sylphid: thanks
[05:24] <Droopsta915> What is the uninstall command for ubuntu. I know sudo apt-get ?
[05:25] <L_Y> !splash
[05:25] <ramirand> droopsta915: to uninstall a package? Or to uninstall ubuntu?
[05:25] <neal_> sudo aptitude remove <yourpackage>
[05:25] <Sylphid> robson, it was grandfathered in for previous distros ... but now you have to get it off the opera site... although i believe there is a repo on there site you can add
[05:25] <linxuz3r> Droopsta915: apt-get remove packagename
[05:25] <robson> seems crazy they wouldn't include it. it's a decent browser
[05:25] <Droopsta915> Ahh remove, lol, i was typing uninstall. thanks
[05:26] <ramirand> droopsta915: Sometimes you want to "purge" instead of "remove" a package (I've seen some where the config files that get left behind are a problem)
[05:26] <c0rrupt0r> mikeshollen go to synaptic and do a search for firestarter and install that
[05:26] <linxuz3r> i want to try kde
[05:26] <Sylphid> robson, there was a reason for it...lemme see if i can find it
[05:26] <phorensic> ramirand: does purge remove all config files? For some reason it doesn't with some packages
[05:26] <c0rrupt0r> mikeshollen ubuntu has its own built in firewall thats already installed..firestarter is just the gui so you can see whats going on and change a few settings..its already configured to default settings
[05:27] <nellmathew> hey.. i just followed directions to install ndiswrapper & my driver w/ ndisgtk, the driver is loaded (hardware present), driver installed 	device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: ssb) .. but iwconfig doesn't show wlan0..
[05:27] <nellmathew> anyone know what's wrong?
[05:27] <ramirand> phorensic: Well, I think it's supposed to... that doesn't mean all packages work 100%.
[05:27] <linlin> ramirand: would it be faster to run multiple instances of dd to make more garbage? or is it limited to whatever /dev/urandom can crap out anyways?
[05:27] <Guest75893> I am running xubuntu 8.10. Trying to get my 3G modem working faster.  what commands can i use to find out connection speeds and do some problem solving. most info i found is to do with configuring wvdial.
[05:28] <SmileDay> HHHHeeeelllloooo
[05:28] <ramirand> linlin: I'm not 100% sure on that. I doubt it would help to run more than you have cores, at least.
[05:28] <wolter> why does my screen brightness change all by itself?
[05:28] <skate2> is there a reason to use firestarter if your router has a firewall?
[05:28] <L_Y> !grub

[05:39] <nellmathew> SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:90:4b:5a:e4:d5", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
[05:39] <Sylphid> sauvin, however those are not on a default ubuntu install
[05:40] <wolter> do people need an ebook manager?
[05:40] <Sylphid> nellmathew, your using ndiswrapper for a broadcom wireless card correct?
[05:40] <nellmathew> yes
[05:40] <nellmathew> Sylphid, nothing else seems to work.. so i'm trying ndiswrapper in intrepid
[05:41] <Sylphid> nellmathew, add 'blacklist b43' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:42] <Sylphid> nellmathew, you will need to reboot afterwards
[05:42] <rkvirani> gnome-do rocks :D
[05:42] <nellmathew> Sylphid, i already blacklisted bxm43xx, b43, b43legacy, ssb & added ndiswrapper to modules though..
[05:42] <rkvirani> thought admittedly 512MB is not enough for compiz
[05:43] <Sylphid> nellmathew, what driver does  sudo lshw -C network  show that your wireless interface is using
[05:43] <allan_> Hello
[05:44]  * usser you kids and your fancy guis :)
[05:44] <allan_> say is there a control , alt ,del for ubuntu like windows
[05:44] <nellmathew> Sylphid, my problem is iwconfig doesn't show "wlan0".. i read on the forums to check if it's being used by anything else by doing "Check the contents of the /etc/iftab file and make sure that no other device has the wlan0 driver name reserved for it: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" .. it is being used by something else.. no further info though
[05:44] <lyrae> when using vsftpd, where is the default dir?
[05:44] <On0bi_> my movie player flashes a black checkerboard mesh throughout movies all the time, how do i fix that?
[05:44] <allan_> hello
[05:45] <mikeshollen> Does anyone have any experience with Mac-on-Linux?
[05:45] <nellmathew> Sylphid: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=64 module=ssb
[05:45] <jigp> hello guys how to install mass message to my group?im using pidgin 2.5.0
[05:45] <Sylphid> nellmathew, and your sure that b43 is blacklisted?
[05:45] <Sussa_> hey dudes, I've got an Atheros AR2413, but the connection is too slow. I've just compiled madwifi, do I need to do anything else for it to work better? I'm using 8.04.2 :)
[05:45] <allan_> hello
[05:46] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Currently using a Nvidia PCI Express 7300DF Geforce - Using Nvidia restricted drivers - Going to remove this card and install a ATI EAH 3450 HDMI PCI Express - Do I need to uninstall the Nvidia drivers before installing the new ATI card ? ?
[05:46] <nellmathew> Sylphid, it's definitely on the list.. let me try another reboot then, should i try to blacklist b43-pci-bridge too maybe?
[05:46] <Sylphid> nellmathew, you should not need to
[05:46] <Sylphid> nellmathew, try this first
[05:46] <allan_> do anyone know, is there a control alt delete for ubuntu like if you stuck in a program
[05:46] <mikeshollen> yes allan
[05:46] <nanotube> lyrae: in vsftpd.conf, the option local_root is set to the root dir.
[05:47] <Sylphid> nellmathew, sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:47] <nanotube> lyrae: and that's also where you can change it to anythin gyou want.
[05:47] <mikeshollen> Use the system monitor
[05:47] <phorensic> allan_: you can kill the pid
[05:47] <allan_> i used that :P
[05:47] <mikeshollen> You can kill processes directly through system monitor
[05:47] <d33d> what do i do if i've lost my IRC password?
[05:47] <allan_> but is there are short cut to system monitor
[05:47] <lyrae> nanotube: doesnt seem to work
[05:47] <mikeshollen> I don't know, maybe someone else does
[05:47] <lyrae> local_root=/home/lyrae/ftp/
[05:48] <jrjr> kill a process?
[05:48] <homecable> i need some to test my site it isnt loading on my end http://joey.ath.cx
[05:48] <allan_> yep yep i know how to do that ,,i just thourt there was a shourt cut thats all
[05:48] <nanotube> lyrae: you need to restart vsftpd for changes to take effect.
[05:48] <d33d> what do i do if i've lost my IRC password?
[05:48] <lyrae> nanotube:  id id
[05:48] <mikeshollen> kill, terminate, cause the act of ceasing to exist in memory
[05:49] <nite_johnboy> Going to replace my Nvidia card with ATI card - Do I need to uninstall Nvidia drivers 1st ? ?
[05:49] <nanotube> allan_: you can set a shortcut yourself if you go to system-> preferences -> kb shortcuts :)
[05:49] <arvind_khadri> d33d: talk to the staff at #freenode
[05:49] <rkvirani> I have 512MB RAM  but Im pretty sure I have a 54K RPM drive will another gig help any with a drive that slow?
[05:49] <nanotube> lyrae: so what does it do, then?
[05:50] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: I think the answer is no.
[05:50] <phorensic> Anyone using solid state drive with their ubuntu?? speed difference??
[05:50] <rkvirani> phorensic: yeah its SUCKS
[05:50] <nellmathew> Sylphid, done.. iwconfig still doesn't show wlan0, let me try rebooting.. brb 2 min, thanks for you help btw!
[05:50] <rkvirani> solid state has VERY VERY slow writes
[05:50] <phorensic> rkvirani: no way? how come
[05:50] <rkvirani> phorensic: I dunno
[05:50] <rkvirani> Acer Aspire One 8GB SSD
[05:50] <rkvirani> and its dog ass slow
[05:50] <lyrae> nanotube: nothing...i go ftp://localhost and the file i put in home/lyrae/ftp/ insnt there
[05:50] <Until_It_Sleeps> What is Ubuntu's command for the equivalent of Window's "ipconfig /all"?
[05:50] <lyrae> nanotube: the directory listing is empty..i should see a file
[05:50] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; thanks - will just shutdown and swap out cards ....
[05:51] <Sylphid> Until_It_Sleeps, ifconfig
[05:51] <rkvirani> Until_It_Sleeps: ifconfig
[05:51] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: A friend of mine did something similar recently (Nvidia 9600 => some ATI card)
[05:51] <Light-> Until_It_Sleeps, ifconfig
[05:51] <phorensic> Until_It_Sleeps: ifconfig
[05:51] <nanotube> lyrae: did you put the initial '/' for the dir conf?
[05:51] <Until_It_Sleeps> lol, so helpful. Thanks
[05:51] <phorensic> rkvirani: hmm thats an acer though.. what about one of those 32gig flash drives??
[05:51] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: Obviously, on the next boot, the nvidia x server didn't start, but it brought up the regular server, and he was able to config the ATI correctly from there.
[05:52] <nanotube> lyrae: (it's not home/lyrae..., its /home/lyrae
[05:52] <rkvirani> phorensic: hahaha like the ones that are hundreds of dollars
[05:52] <lyrae> nanotube: yep: local_root=/home/lyrae/ftp/
[05:52] <baz_> it is said that the passwords stored in *revelation password manager*, can be retrieved remotely thru gnome-fs (which i think was replaced) - anyone know how i would go about doing this?
[05:52] <rkvirani> If my acer sucks so bad what makes you think I Want to buy a more expensive one hahaha
[05:52] <phorensic> rkvirani: oh speaking of the AAO- did you get your wireless working natively?
[05:53] <tyso1> hey
[05:53] <lyrae> nanotube: when i type 'ls' in ftp, i get /
[05:53] <phorensic> rkvirani: no i like the AAO's foo! I got my friend to buy one so i could play with it
[05:54] <phorensic> rkvirani: I thought they were around $80 or so now
[05:54] <waffles> Hey, how can I find out what partition is what on an HD? I'm trying to figure out what mount something is in HD(0,x) format.
[05:54] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; cool - the newer ATI has DVI/VGA/HDMI Out - going to use with the HDMI with my wide screen High Def TV - Will probably turn off onboard sound in bio's - HDMI is supposed to carry sound so maybe should not need the 1/8" out for audio....
[05:54] <lyrae> nanotube: not 'ls', i mean pwd
[05:54] <phorensic> waffles: hmm sudo fdisk -l?
[05:54] <EternalEnding> was wondering if anyone could help me with a hardware compatibility question, im kinda thinking my hardware wont run ubuntu :(
[05:55] <waffles> phorensic, gives sda1, sda2, sdax
[05:55] <arvind_khadri> waffles: sdax??
[05:55] <nanotube> lyrae: well yes, it sets the ftp root "/" to whatever you set local_root to. (well, supposedly. apparently it doesn't work for you...)
[05:55] <waffles> phorensic, I know my boot is HD(0,0) and that gives it as SDA1
[05:55] <Until_It_Sleeps> Anyone know which ports I should forward for Transmission bittorrent client so that it runs faster?
[05:55] <Until_It_Sleeps> pm me with it plz
[05:56] <waffles> arvind_khadri, I mean sda1, sda2, ect.... x as in up to 8 for me atleast
[05:56] <nite_johnboy> EternalEnding; Have you tried using the Live CD ?
[05:56] <EternalEnding> yes :( it wont get past the cd check on 8.0
[05:56] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: Does that card have a digital audio input to put on the HDMI?
[05:56] <arvind_khadri> waffles: oh ok... so what are you trying to achieve now?
[05:56] <phorensic> waffles: hmm i dunno then
[05:56] <EternalEnding> i think its partly my blu-ray drive
[05:56] <Until_It_Sleeps> O_o
[05:56] <lyrae> nanotube: any other ftp daemons i could try?
[05:57] <waffles> arvind_khadri,  the end goal is dealing with Grub, but right now trying to find out what HD(0,1) is, what HD(0,2) is, ect. I have some logical partitions inside an extended partition.
[05:57] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; ah - no - ummm might have something there - the sounds has to get there somehow - didn't quite think this through all the way yet.
[05:58] <arvind_khadri> waffles: sda2 would be hd(0,2)
[05:58] <arvind_khadri> waffles: sorry i mean hd(0,1)
[05:58] <Flannel> arvind_khadri, waffles: hd0,1
[05:59] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: I know some cards have that. I haven't tried. My Nvidia doesn't have HDMI out, and I've never tried using the digital audio output yet.
[05:59] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: (on my motherboard)
[05:59] <waffles> arvind_khadri, Flannel, so just subtract 1 from the sdaX to get HD(0,x)? Alright then.
[05:59] <arvind_khadri> waffles: ya
[05:59] <Flannel> waffles: and a == 1, b == 2, etc, subtract one from that too.
[06:00] <waffles> arvind_khadri, Flannel, Thanks for the help.
[06:00] <EternalEnding> so supposing I can beat the CD check by using an external drive, what is the compatibility with the i7 processor looking like?
[06:00] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; yea - just opened the box an looked at it - No audio in - so will be using standard motherboard 5.1 audio - looks like huh?
[06:01] <nanotube> lyrae: hmm... well thereis proftpd
[06:02] <nanotube> lyrae: there's the regular "ftpd"
[06:02] <dixonionthedemon> i back
[06:02] <NoSoundHelp> Hey my sound just stopped working...i didnt change anything
[06:02] <lyrae> nanotube: thank you
[06:02] <nanotube> but really i don't know why vsftpd isn't working... maybe you can ask on #vsftpd if that channel exists, or if not, just regular #ftp.
[06:03] <nanotube> lyrae: just check what channels relating to ftp are out there, you might find some helpful folks :)
[06:03] <dixon208> anyone know how to get a quickcam messenger from logitech to work?
[06:03] <waffles> I installed Vista, Xp, then Ubuntu, but used the alternate install. I had a 100 meg boot partition in Fat16, but then when I installed Ubuntu I thought it was empty and formated over to Ext3. It's now my boot partition. Is there any way to add Windows to Grub without "repairing" Windows then reinstalling Grub? I tried booting from HDA(0,6) and HDA(0,7) where they are and get MBR not found. From what I've read, I need a boot folder/file and neither
[06:03] <waffles> partition have them.
[06:03] <nanotube> lyrae: helpful folks who know what they're doing, even. :)
[06:03] <dixon208> ubuntu 8.10
[06:03] <NoSoundHelp> Hey my sound just stopped working...i didnt change anything... ubuntu 8.10......
[06:04] <lyrae> nanotube: i will as last resort =)
[06:04] <inktri> why is /etc/ called etc if it's for config files?
[06:04] <nanotube> lyrae: good luck :)
[06:05] <TheOrz> Anyone know when this important bug fix will get into Ubuntu 8.10? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/296167

[06:06] <codename> If i want to install 180.25 nvidia driver
[06:06] <EternalEnding> x-fi supported yet?
[06:06] <codename> When I dist upgrade does that mess anything up
[06:06] <codename> I heard when it's time to update it can cause kernel issues
[06:07] <nanotube> codename: only if it messes something up. otherwise, no. :) many people have no trouble... some do... it's a good idea to back up your data just in case. :)
[06:07] <NoSoundHelp> Hey my sound just stopped working...i didnt change anything... ubuntu 8.10......alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused
[06:07] <codename> Oh ok, so it's fairly simple installing NVIDIA drivers then well at least off their website
[06:07] <codename> I have 177
[06:07] <codename> But I also have a NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX people told me I should update since I have a newer card
[06:08] <codename> NoSoundHelp: Did you update?
[06:08] <IntuitiveNipple> codename: If you use the nvidia packages instead of the Ubuntu restricted drivers packages, then YES, you may have issues since the upgrader will not 'know' about the nvidia package, so won't rebuild the kernel interface

[06:10] <nadim_> codename: yeah, I installed nvidia drivers by hand in 8.04, because my card was too new for the drivers that came with the distro...worked fine, except after every kernel update, graphics failed to safe mode, and you'd need to go to the terminal, stop gdm, and rerun the driver install...

[06:24] <phorensic> whatev: yes i think it will hang when the drive cannot find the volume
[06:25] <phorensic> whatev: its been a while since ive done it but i think i had that problem
[06:25] <DigitalSith> how do I change the run levels in ubuntu so I boot directly to a console instead of gdm
[06:25] <phorensic> dixon208: you can locate the file and use wget http://whatever.come/file
[06:26] <YooPhGluP> i was thinking about switching to ubuntu from vista but i can't get my pvr-150mce to work so now i am not sure if its worth it
[06:26] <robson> i can't get alsa to work for snd-hda-intel. i tried modprobe snd-hda-intel after compiling alsa for that module and it failed
[06:26] <wow> is there any way to copy a screeshot to the clipboard instead of opening that "save screenshot" window?
[06:26] <kinja-sheep> YooPhGluP: Buy a supported PVR.
[06:26] <phorensic> YooPhGluP: did you check in the myth channels?
[06:27] <Ga_Boi> ok. I got a kingston 8 gig sdhc micro card and when i used it with my adapter it worked the first time. HOwever, after copying a directory straight to the card it no longer is no longer read by any of my devices except my phone however, my phone can't format it or do anything with it.. and when i connect my phone to my comp via bluetooth it still doesn't register. any ideas?

[06:28] <phorensic> dixon208: you have to input the name of that file.. u gotta find it first
[06:28] <wow> that doesn't copy it to the clipboard
[06:28] <robson> is there an easier sound alternative than alsa? i went thru everything and for whatever reason it still won't work
[06:28] <usser> wow, sure does
[06:28] <YooPhGluP> yeah myth just shows a blank screen
[06:29] <nadim_> DigitalSith: runlevel --set will set your runlevel, however I think runlevels 2-5, by default, are all configured the same
[06:29] <wow> usser: not for me.  it opens a window giving me the option of where to save it
[06:29] <usser> wow, oh really...
[06:29] <phorensic> YooPhGluP: What i mean is did you ask for help in myths channels. They work with pvrs all the time and would know better if yours is supported or not
[06:29] <PuTrA_caem> adi_085745961777
[06:29] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: I'm giving you an example -- "cd ~/Desktop && wget -c http://tinyurl.com/dixon208"
[06:29] <nadim_> DigitalSith: look up chkconfig for how to easily configure your runlevels to, say, disable gdm in one of them
[06:30] <YooPhGluP> ok i'll ask them
[06:30] <phorensic> YooPhGluP: myth tends to support only cartain hauppage cards

[06:32] <freq18hz> gmail really sucks at pop, if at all possible use imap
[06:32] <kinja-sheep> freq18hz: Agreed.
[06:32] <Neros> Ok... let me refine my question
[06:32] <IntuitiveNipple> Neros: "POP is nice, but IMAP is a much better option" (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/10/gmail-supports-imap.html)
[06:33] <YooPhGluP> yeah everywhere i look it says it should work but i can't get it to do anything i can record a test.mpg by typing a command but can't use any tv viewers
[06:33] <Neros> How do I set non standard ports in Evolution?
[06:33] <nickrud> whatev, gpm (for console mice)
[06:33] <harley> why do my media players do this!?
[06:33] <harley> I click play and the song sits at 0:00
[06:33] <arieltav> hey all
[06:33] <kc8pxy> whatev: isn't that gpm ??(general purpose mouse)?
[06:33] <whatev> ah
[06:33] <nickrud> Neros, append,for example:  mail.com:587
[06:33] <IntuitiveNipple> YooPhGluP: Best to ask on the mythbuntu or mythtv-user mailing-lists (http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users/)
[06:34] <arieltav> so, anyone feeling helpfull tonight?
[06:34] <tuxedocurly> what the heck... i used gparted to turn my USB hard drive into fat32 but windows still wont read it
[06:34] <tuxedocurly> Any ideas why?
[06:34] <tuxedocurly> or do you think i just need to try to plug it in again and wait for it to register?
[06:34] <Neros> nickrud: thanks
[06:35] <arieltav> total newb looking for help w/GRUB, anyone?
[06:35] <YooPhGluP> thanks im going to reboot now
[06:35] <nickrud> arieltav, the only people that hang out here are the ones who never help any one ;)
[06:35] <nickrud> !detail | arieltav
[06:35] <freq18hz> tuxedo: just because its formated fat32, doesnt mean it has a dos compatible MBR on it
[06:35] <nickrud> !details | arieltav
[06:36] <freq18hz> try deleting the partition, creating a new fat partion with MBR
[06:36] <freq18hz> and then formatting it
[06:36] <tuxedocurly> MBR?
[06:36] <arieltav> well, i just installed ubuntu 8.1
[06:36] <harley> does anybody know why my songs don't play?
[06:36] <freq18hz> Master Boot Record
[06:36] <amt2> my sound was working great but after some point it just stopped working and now I have no sound. I didn't change any settings directly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[06:36] <arieltav> and on first boot after step 1.5 it stops on error 21
[06:36] <tuxedocurly> how do i do that?
[06:36] <nadim_> harley: are you sure they're valid audio formats?
[06:36] <arieltav> i'm dual booting w/xp
[06:36] <harley> oh there mp3
[06:37] <arieltav> ubuntu is on disk 2
[06:37] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: state your problem in a single go, dont use enter as a punctuaction
[06:37] <wow> how can I get it so prnt scrn copies the screenshot to my clipboard instead of prompting me to save it?
[06:37] <nadim_> harley: try, for example, "mplayer -identify <filename.mp3>" on the command line and see what it says
[06:37] <arieltav> sorry, and thanx. should i try again than, or did you get that?
[06:37] <freq18hz> amt2: open your volume control panel and make sure you have your speaker volume, pcm volume, and master volume up
[06:38] <IntuitiveNipple> tuxedocurly: There is an issue where VFAT file-systems created on Linux *are not* understood by Windows. I forget the solution now (the 'easy' way is to format the file-system on Windows)
[06:38] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: i think i got it... you have installed 8.10, and you get grub error 21?
[06:38] <arieltav> yes
[06:38] <spexi> Hi! I was trying to test Ubuntu 8.10 yesterday with live cd on my computer. Everything went well until X was loaded. It was blank screen with text "out of range", but I was still able to hear the sounds. Specs: 2gt ram, ATI HD3850, AMD X2 5800+. Could this be issue with ATI or..?
[06:38] <Bobblybook> hi :) is anyone here prepared to help out a linux newbie with some drivers?
[06:38] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: do you have dual boot?
[06:38] <freq18hz> tuxedocurly: its because you dont have a windows readable parition table
[06:39] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: as in you have windows too installed on your machine?
[06:39] <freq18hz> tuxedocurly: aka Master Book Record
[06:39] <kinja-sheep> spexi: I'm throwing a guess -- Wrong resolution size.
[06:39] <adie> allow semua
[06:39] <IntuitiveNipple> freq18hz: What you said makes no sense!  Thanks!
[06:39] <harley> nadim: The program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages:
[06:39] <harley>  * mplayer-nogui
[06:39] <harley>  * mplayer
[06:39] <harley> Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
[06:39] <harley> bash: mplayer: command not found
[06:39] <FloodBot1> harley: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:39] <lyrae> How can i completely remove a package? --purge isnt working...because when i re-install, it doesnt re-download
[06:39] <kc8pxy> spexi:  seems like a driver issue. particularly with the settings that were autodetected.
[06:39] <spexi> okay.
[06:40] <arvind_khadri> harley: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[06:40] <arieltav> i did after installing with wubi, but after selecting ubuntu it was stopping at grub. so i uninstaled wubi in XP and reinstalled ubuntu from CD. now i can't even run XP. it just stops w/error 21
[06:40] <freq18hz> Intuitive: it makes perfect sense. you can have a non dos partition table,formated fat32
[06:40] <kinja-sheep> lyrae: It didn't redownload because the package (.deb) is still on your system.
[06:40] <nadim_> harley: go ahead and install it then with the command it provides (use mplayer, not mplayer-nogui)
[06:40] <lyrae> kinja-sheep: id like it to be gone
[06:40] <kinja-sheep> lyrae: sudo aptitude autoclean / sudo aptitude clean
[06:40] <arieltav> BTW xp is on primary disk. ubuntu on second disk.
[06:40] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: so you must be on the live cd now... just re-install grub,...
[06:40] <Bobblybook> can anyone please explain to me how to install an intel 2100 802.11 driver?
[06:40] <spexi> What I have to do with that driver issue
[06:41] <nadim_> harley: not the best player in the world for general use...but powerful for seeing what's really going on with your files
[06:41] <arvind_khadri> !grub > arieltav
[06:41] <arieltav> how do i reinstall grub
[06:41] <IntuitiveNipple> lyrae: Locate the package's .deb file in/var/cache/apt/archives and delete it (using  'sudo rm' to get admin permissions)
[06:41] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: look into the pm from ubottu
[06:41] <spexi> well if live cd doesn't work, there's no reason to install ubuntu..
[06:41] <lyrae> thank you
[06:41] <kc8pxy> freq18hz: possibly true, but what sane, modern partitioner (sentient or automated) configures them that way anymore??
[06:42] <arieltav> i installed ubuntu after windows
[06:42] <harley> nadim_: downloading now, what is mplayer used for?
[06:42] <spexi> or is there different settings when you install ubuntu and don't run it on live cd
[06:42] <arieltav> there's no way windows overwrote my MBR because windows hasn't ran since i installed ubuntu
[06:42] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: ya i know...but to recover from the problem you are facing we need to re-install grub :)
[06:42] <spexi> so if just try to install, could it work
[06:42] <crudson1> Would anyone have ideas as to why XDMCP session is really slow (gnome or xfce) with 8.10. I have identical hardware running 7.10 that is plenty fast with XDMCP. A number of things work fine (window resizing, dragging) but things like navigating menus is terribly slow.
[06:42] <kc8pxy> arieltav: why is grub not working to boot your windows?
[06:42] <freq18hz> kc8pky: no singular partitioner, but perhaps doing something like sticking it in a mac, partitioning for guid, formating for dos
[06:42] <robson> i forgot, does a user have to be in a certain group to use sound?
[06:43] <the_gamer> hi filks, i installed kde and now i can't shut down the pc from gnome anymore. in what group do i have to be or what could be the problem?
[06:43] <freq18hz> kc8pky:there are lots of ways to screw up disks
[06:43] <lstarnes> robson: possibly the audio group
[06:43] <arieltav> it is stopping at error 21 i never get to the CLI
[06:43] <robson> arieltav: check /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:43] <veritos> I don't have a parallel port. Is there some weird reason why I should leave 'lp' in /etc/modules?
[06:43] <robson> arieltav: i had that same error today and had to change hda1 to be hda0
[06:43] <IntuitiveNipple> freq18hz: I'm afraid you don't appear to understand the subject. A partition table is 4 x 16 bytes in sector 0 of a disk, describing the layout of partitions on the disk. A *file-system* (FAT32, NTFS, ext3, etc.) is written into a partition. A partition table is universally understood
[06:43] <nadim_> harley: it plays music and video files...note that you can get information on what any package is for by typing "aptitude show <package>"
[06:43] <arieltav> robson: how did you do that
[06:44] <dixon208> ok.... anyone know how to get the file = gspca   and then get the driver spca5xx?
[06:44] <arieltav> i'm looking at menu.lst but it means nothing to me.
[06:44] <robson> vim /boot/grub/menu.lst, go to the bottom, find the windows part at the bottom
[06:44] <kc8pxy> freq18hz: agreed,  but that makes sense how?? and please spell my nick right, it makes conversion simpler.
[06:44] <harley> nadim_: does it help me to play mp3's on banshee?
[06:44] <arvind_khadri> robson: he is on a live cd...
[06:44] <robson> oh
[06:45] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: you have to re-install grub
[06:45] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: You're talking about the package?  aptitude search gspca
[06:45] <dixon208> yea
[06:45] <dixon208> the package
[06:45] <arvind_khadri> !find spca5xx
[06:45] <dixon208> does that go into the terminal?
[06:45] <arvind_khadri> !find spca5
[06:45] <nadim_> harley: it's a totally different player...but if you can't play with banshee (your original problem), then a good thing to try is another player, that may shed more light on your problem
[06:45] <dixon208> ubuntu 8.10 here
[06:45] <IntuitiveNipple> dixon208: I seem to recall the gspca driver is part of the V4L project, but over the past year or more it has been in a state of flux as it moved and there are *two* distinctly different versions depending on which kernel version/distro you're using
[06:47] <arvind_khadri> dixon208: there seems to be one in the repo...the gspca-source...
[06:47] <harley> nadim_: it also sometimes happened on rythmebox
[06:47] <robson> is there a way to update the groups one's in w/o closing terminal? i tried closing it and it won't work anyway
[06:47] <Blaenk`> hey guys whats the disk editor called, i want to install it
[06:47] <arieltav> robson: where did you change that. i see two entries for windows
[06:47] <Blaenk`> the partition editor
[06:47] <spexi> hmm.. Maybe my problem has something to do with my 19" LCD monitor
[06:47] <dixon208> ok so this is what i got = aptitude search gspca
[06:47] <dixon208> p   gspca-source                    - source for the gspca v4l kernel module  note i am not flooding
[06:47] <veritos> robson: run 'exec bash'
[06:47] <Blaenk`> is it gparted?
[06:48] <IntuitiveNipple> robson: No, you need to log-out of all sessions with that user ID to get new groups to take effect
[06:49] <robson> arieltav: root           (hd1,0) i had to change to root           (hd0,0), but on the livecd I don't know, are you editing your install with the livecd?
[06:49] <robson> IntuitiveNipple: thanks, brb
[06:49] <kinja-sheep> Blaenk`: Yes.  Gparted.
[06:50] <kinja-sheep> spexi: LiveCD may assume you're using 20" or above -- Hence the larger resolution.
[06:50] <Bobblybook> can anyone help me through installing a wireless driver in ubuntu? I'm a bit lost
[06:50] <spexi> kinja-sheep: yep. I've had some other issues also with linux when using 1440x900 with that monitor
[06:51] <arieltav> not sure what you mean, it says i have xp home on hd0,1 and nt/2000/xp on hd0,3. but i only have xp home???
[06:51] <spexi> weird ~150px black area on the left of the screen
[06:51] <spexi> maybe i should try to run live cd with my 15" lcd
[06:51] <jrjr> so whats new with ubuntu 9.04 jaunty
[06:52] <kinja-sheep> spexi: You might have better luck with this -- http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=ubuntu%2C+out+of+range
[06:52] <harley> mplayer doesn't work :\
[06:52] <spexi> yeah
[06:53] <ramirand> harley: How'd it fail?
[06:53] <dixon208> aptitude search gspca
[06:53] <dixon208> p   gspca-source                    - source for the gspca v4l kernel module   anyone know what to do next? plz pm me if u do, help would be appreciated ty
[06:54] <harley> ramirand: what you mean?
[06:54] <JRusto> is there anyway in linux to do lock contention measurment
[06:54] <ramirand> harley: Well, first, what command did you issue? Then, what did you see as a result? An error message? Did mplayer ever exit?
[06:55] <cheryl> can somebody for the love of god PLEASE tell me how to remove broken packages in ubuntu?
[06:55] <robson> cheryl: a specific one or all?
[06:55] <nadim_> cheryl: purge doesn't work?
[06:55] <robson> y
[06:55] <cheryl> nadim_: no... its notletting me reconfigure remove or install them
[06:56] <uspenok> does any one knows how to fix pidgin ?
[06:56] <SwitchMon44> My built in microphone on my eeepc doesn't work.  it doesn't register any sound in Skype or with the sound recorder.  Any thoughts?
[06:56] <robson> SwitchMon44: google ubuntu eee asus, there's a great website to get it all working
[06:56] <harley> well I used the command mplayer -identify 04_Shake_It.mp3
[06:57] <ASrock> http://omploader.org/vMngx/snapshot9.png                                       can anyone tell me where i can download a sidebar that shows system stats and stuff like in the pic on that page?
[06:57] <jrjr> how do i install programs in wine
[06:57] <jrjr> im new to ubuntu
[06:57] <mrh> Hi fellows
[06:57] <harley> jrjr: open with... wine
[06:57] <nadim_> cheryl: try the aptitude GUI (just type aptitude), and search for broken packages
[06:57] <robson> ASrock: i didn't look, but google conky for a start
[06:58] <cheryl> nadim_: totaly a good idea
[06:58] <cheryl> i didnt think of that
[06:58]  * cheryl goes off to try
[06:58] <mrh> Say, I have been looking to confirm that Terminal (the terminal emulator) does indeed run bash, but . . . can't find the info to confirm
[06:58] <ASrock> robson: i remember trying conky a while back but it didnt work right i will give it another shot though
[06:58] <jrjr> harley: thanks
[06:58] <kinja-sheep> ASrock: I'm guessing Conky but it could be different one.
[06:59] <uspenok> so what about pidgin ? how to use icq ?
[06:59] <ASrock> do you know names of any other ones off the top of your head?
[06:59] <pixelated> i use conky on my laptop with no problems...
[06:59] <robson> Asrock: conky is based off torsmo, so you could try that, but i wouldn't bother
[07:00] <nadim_> ASrock: gkrellm also will put a sidebar of system stats
[07:00] <robson> ah yeah that's the other main one
[07:00] <nadim_> ASrock: I've been using gkrellm when torturing my new system (flaky HW issue)...haven't tried conky though
[07:01] <Lokin> Can someone help me get my internet working? It's command line Intrepid connected via ethernet

[07:05] <Lokin> No
[07:05] <Lokin> nor eth1
[07:05] <kinja-sheep> What's the command to display all installed packages (in aptitude).
[07:06] <pixelated> Lokin, do you get your ip automatically? (via DHCP)
[07:06] <Lokin> Onya
[07:06] <Lokin> yes*
[07:06] <pixelated> try 'sudo dhclient' and see if that gets you an ip
[07:07] <Lokin> one sec think I found the problem in interfaces
[07:07] <Lokin> yar got it, was just being stupid
[07:07] <Lokin> thanks guys

[07:10] <ramirand> kinja-sheep: See /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README in the section called "Search Patterns"
[07:10] <nadim_> kinja-sheep: ~ is the prefix for special search patterns in aptitude...it's all explained in the exhaustive, but hard to find, aptitude manual... open the poorly named /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README
[07:10] <kinja-sheep> dixonionthedemon is dixon208. =\

[07:11] <kinja-sheep> ramirand + nadim_:  Will take a look at the said manual.  :)
[07:12] <ari_stress> guys, what's the difference between apt-get upgrade, apt-get update?
[07:13] <pixelated> ari_stress, upgrade upgrades from one version to another, update updates packages that have newer bug/security fixes
[07:13] <ari_stress> pixelated: thanks :)
[07:14] <pixelated> np
[07:14] <nadim_> pixilated: actually, I think update only updates the list of available packages

[07:18] <arieltav> anyone?

[07:19] <pixelated> arieltav, whats the problem?
[07:19] <lyrae> how do i find out whos running a process?
[07:19] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: aptitude --help
[07:19] <ari_stress> lyrae: ps aux
[07:19] <IntuitiveNipple> lyrae: ps -ef | grep <processname>
[07:19] <ari_stress> IntuitiveNipple: very nice nick! :)
[07:19] <lyrae> thank you
[07:19] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: You need to learn how to use aptitude / apt-get first.  It's easier to install packages instead of relying on synpathic(sp?)
[07:19] <cakey> synpathetic
[07:20] <cakey> synapythonic
[07:20] <ramirand> arieltav: technically, it's 8.10, because the 10 = october, when it was released. Just figured I'd point that out to avoid confusion someday in the future.
[07:20] <arieltav> pixelated: i get error 21 in grub. i just followed the instructions @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub, to no avail.
[07:20] <skate2> is there a reason to use firestarter if your router has a firewall?

[07:20] <ari_stress> skate2: do you control the router? if yes, then i think you're safe
[07:21] <jrjr> i did that
[07:21] <nadim_> jrjr: you have flgrx installed already?
[07:21] <phorensic> cakey: compiz is installed by default.. you just need the manager
[07:21] <arieltav> thanks ramirand
[07:21] <jrjr> yup
[07:21] <robson> what will tell you what graphics driver is being used currently?
[07:21] <jrjr> i have the manager too

[07:24] <nadim_> jrjr: I usually tell because my windows wobble :)
[07:24] <robson> jrjr: glxinfo might work
[07:24] <robson> glxinfo won't tell me though
[07:24] <Slart> jrjr: run glxgears -info, look at the top part there... see what renderer you're using
[07:25] <arieltav> so i reinstalled grub and got the same problem, but i have a theory. i have the grub folder under my HD but when i look in "file system " it's not there. also when i followed the instructions on the link you suggested (gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst) it brought up an empty doc. because as i said, the folder isn't even there!? does that make any sense?
[07:25] <robson> Slart: glxgears gives me an error: X error of failed request: BadRequest...
[07:25] <arieltav> robson: you catch that?
[07:25] <pixelated> arieltav, yes, /boot probly isnt in your root filesystem, look for a partition that is ~100mb in size
[07:26] <arieltav> pixelated: not sure what you mean.
[07:26] <robson> arieltav: no, i'm confused. i didn't hear the whole story, but someone mentioned you're trying to edit a livecd?
[07:27] <pixelated> arieltav, can you boot the machine with a live cd?
[07:27] <Marupa> Is there a way to ssh into Ubuntu and grab a screenshot of the current screen?  I've tried scrot, but it doesn't recognize that X is running.
[07:27] <robson> arieltav: did you pop a livecd in to try and fix your ubuntu install or are you trying to install ubuntu?
[07:27] <yoyit2> ok i downloaded the ATI driver but its a .run (bin i think) and it wont open with anything.. how do i install it??
[07:27] <arieltav> no, i'm trying to get grub to let me boot xp/ubuntu. i'm working on from the livecd now.
[07:27] <robson> yoyit2: try ./atidrivername
[07:27] <ari_stress> Marupa: i dont think we can do that? grabbing screenshot from ssh?
[07:27] <robson> yoyit2: where atidrivername is the filename of the .run file
[07:27] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: A single hard drive, or more than one?
[07:27] <jrjr> slart: in using  Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
[07:28] <ddoom> I've just updated my ubuntu 8.04.2 box and it has broken X (nvidia onboard) any ideas on how to fix?
[07:28] <Marupa> ari_stress, I know scrot can grab a screenshot from X from the terminal.
[07:28] <Osaris> !sources
[07:28] <arieltav> i was running xp, than i added a second drive and installed ubuntu on it. now i just get error 21 when i boot.
[07:28] <nadim_> yoyit2: what's wrong with just having Ubuntu manage the driver through Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[07:28] <robson> what's it mean if glxgears errors instead of running at all?
[07:28] <nightrid3r> !nvidia | ddoom
[07:28] <robson> arieltav: so you're using a livecd to try and fix it?
[07:29] <nadim_> robson: dunno...maybe it can't find a suitable renderer?
[07:29] <arieltav> yes
[07:29] <bobblybook> can someone tell me what the default root pw is? I don't recall setting it up, yet it gives me an invalid PW when I login with root
[07:29] <robson> arieltav: and do you get the 21 error on windows or linux?
[07:29] <prince_jammys> bobblybook: there is none. it's disabled
[07:29] <arieltav> on step 1.5
[07:29] <bobblybook> oh, how can I enable the account/give my account root access?
[07:29] <jtaji> !root | bobblybook
[07:29] <bobblybook> A script file said I needed it.
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> robson: you'll get an error on terminal when you run it, websearch for it
[07:29] <robson> you can set the root password if you want
[07:30] <yoyit2> nadim_: nothing shows up at all if i do that
[07:30] <prince_jammys> bobblybook: use 'sudo' ... eg sudo somecommand
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> robson: its not advised in ubuntu
[07:30] <Fractured> sudo isnt always good enough
[07:30] <bobblybook> ok thanks, I'll look it up.
[07:30] <robson> well when sudo isn't just do sudo su -
[07:30] <arieltav> robson: it's hanging on error 21 right after step 1.5
[07:30] <robson> arieltav: what the heck is step 1.5?
[07:30] <yoyit2> nadim_: thats only third party.. not supported drivers\
[07:30] <Marupa> Is that at all possible?
[07:30] <harley> when I click the media launch shortcut on my keyboard it attempts to open rythmebox, how do I make it open banshee?
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> robson: sudo -i is advised over sudo su
[07:30] <robson> arieltav: that's part of the error message you mean?
[07:30] <bobblybook> what is the difference between su, su - and sudo?
[07:31] <Fractured> dont for get sue
[07:31] <bobblybook> I read something about su - clearing something but I really didn't understand it
[07:31] <arieltav> thats what it says right before the error.
[07:31] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: From the LiveCD, can you 'see' the installed Ubuntu file-system?
[07:31] <arieltav> and right after cmos
[07:31] <robson> arieltav: ok, but are you trying to boot into windows or linux?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> bobblybook: use sudo <command> and you'll be fine. gksudo <command> for ui commands like gedit
[07:31] <bobblybook> alright
[07:31] <harley> does anybody know how I can make my media key open banshee and not rythmebox?
[07:31] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: info: GRUB Error 21 means that the stage 1.5 code can't be found
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> !shortcuts | harley
[07:32] <arieltav> at this point i'll take what i can get. it just goes CMOS -> STEP 1.5 -> ERROR 21!
[07:32] <jordan_> how come when i change my monitor it doesn't work? do i need to restart my computer?
[07:32] <bobblybook> the only thing is, I'm actually running a script file - how do I execute it with sudo?
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> !grub | arieltav
[07:32] <robson> oh. i had that happen with a bad livecd
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> bobblybook: put sudo for the commands in the script, then run the script with: sudo <scriptname>
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> bobblybook: make sure you chmod +x the script
[07:33] <arieltav> thanx actionparsnip but i tried that. and i loaded ubuntu after windows.
[07:33] <bobblybook> ActionParsnip: hold on I'll pm you, I have a few questions
[07:34] <arieltav> robson: i did the diagnostic on the livecd and it said the cd was good
[07:34] <jordan_> is there a way to set up dual monitors?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: thats fine, the fact grub is loading and erroring means the menu.list isnt right
[07:34] <arieltav> so how do i fix it?
[07:34] <Osaris> dude i get a error about my sources for apt-get for 8.10 x64 . Where can i get default repositries for it. I did try and change it to uk.archive.ubuntu ect and also us but the same prob
[07:34] <arieltav> shouldn't the grub folder show up in "file system"?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: it does, its in /boot/grub/menu.list
[07:35] <arieltav> but mine has no grub folder.
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: you will need to look into grub to make sure all settingsfor boot are correct
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: then you need to install it and configure if you dont have it at all
[07:36] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: In the LiveCD session, you'll need to mount the hard-disk file-system that has Ubuntu installed in it.
[07:36] <arieltav> i have a grub folder on my hardrive, but it doesn't show up under "file system"
[07:36] <Osaris> W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release  Unable to find expected entry  universe/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[07:36] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: There will be no /boot/grub/ when running the LiveCD
[07:37] <arieltav> ah, that makes sense. so how do i mount the file system?
[07:37] <yoyit2> PLEASE RESPOND: why cant i check off the updates in the update manager.. some will update.. but theres about 20 that will not update (they just sit there and i cant chcke them off)
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: access it via yerminal
[07:37] <arieltav> you're talking to a total newb here. how do i do that?
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> !mount | arieltav
[07:38] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: Think carefully to avoid getting yourself confused... When running the LiveCD what you see in the 'File System' is what is mounted from the LiveCD only... to see the contents of another file-system from a hard-disk partition you'll need to mount the hard disk partition to a directory in the LiveCD session. Usually they will be mounted in /media/
[07:38] <Ekips> Hm, my mirror seems to be broken too atm
[07:39] <Osaris> i did try and change it
[07:39] <roccity_> yoyit2, have you tried updating from the cli
[07:39] <Osaris> but us, za, uk still the same
[07:39] <Ekips> 64 bit?
[07:39] <Osaris> yes
[07:39] <IntuitiveNipple> ari_stress: So, for example, if in the LiveCD session you mount the Ubuntu file-system from the 2nd hard disk, it might be mounted to /media/disk/ so you'd find the grub files at /media/disk/boot/grub/
[07:39] <Ekips> Failed to fetch http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_2.6.27-11.27_amd64.deb  404 Not Found
[07:40] <Ekips> Failed to fetch http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic_2.6.27-11.27_amd64.deb  404 Not Found
[07:40] <Ekips> etc
[07:40] <yoyit2> roccity_: whats cli??
[07:40] <Ekips> I think it's globally broken
[07:40] <Ekips> At a guess
[07:40] <FloodBot1> Ekips: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:40] <maco> yoyit2: because theyre not available. possibly they were built and added to the repository but things they depend upon are not finished yet.
[07:40] <Ekips> 2 lines, silly botthing
[07:40] <IntuitiveNipple> oops s/ari_stress/arieltav/
[07:40] <roccity_> yoyit2, if you open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade see if that helps
[07:41] <yoyit2> maco: some of them were for updating mp4 codecs.. and even tho i have all of them installed.. now that i cant use the "pending update" i cant use mp4 files at all :(
[07:41] <neil_d> does the aoe 'vblade' work in 8.10 ?
[07:41] <Osaris> its just this that i have Unable to find expected entry  universe/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[07:41] <Osaris> but think i had that prob the last time 2
[07:41] <roccity_> yoyit2, cli stands for command line interface
[07:41] <maco> yoyit2: old versions shouldnt stop working just because a new version exists
[07:42] <req-> Does the latest ubuntu come with gamepad drivers? If not, are they difficult to install? I couldn't get them working on my laptop (linpus)
[07:42] <yoyit2> maco: well for some reason i cant play mp4 or mp3s and ive re-installed the codecs and programs and plugins MANY times.. and they still dont work.. they jsut spontainiously quit working on me
[07:43] <Osaris> then i changed it over to uk
[07:43] <Ekips> Main server seems to work
[07:43] <roccity_> yoyit2, what program are you using?
[07:43] <jrjr> is it worth upgrading from hardy to 8.10
[07:44] <kinja-sheep> How can I resolve this?  Did the GPG code change or something?  http://sheep.pastebin.com/f25b6caa7
[07:44] <lockd> is there a *theme-switch for gtk?
[07:44] <crdlb> lockd: for which version of gtk? and are you using any desktop environment?
[07:44] <jrjr> is it worth upgrading from hardy to 8.10
[07:45] <pZombie> jrjr - i found its not
[07:45] <pZombie> 8.04 is faster on my vbox
[07:45] <pZombie> much faster...
[07:45] <yoyit2> roccity_: totem, and vlc
[07:45] <lockd> crdlb: GNOME, but for gtk-1 apps
[07:45] <harley> ActionParsnip: keytouch doesn't have my keyboard :|
[07:46] <roccity_> yoyit2, have you checked the preferences and seen what sound engine they are using?
[07:46] <pZombie> I installed 9.04 on my HP laptop with an ati 9600 to test it. Compiz worked but openarena was not accelerated.
[07:46] <pZombie> So i tried to install the original ati drivers
[07:46] <crdlb> lockd: try gtk-theme-switch
[07:46] <jrjr> pZombie: it working well on my 600m but the extra effects dont work
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> harley: do the keys generate events in xev?
[07:47] <crdlb> lockd: which should provide 'switch' and 'switch2' commands; you want the former
[07:47] <lockd> crdlb: doesn't exist, I guess I'll have to build by hand
[07:47] <roccity_> yoyit2, can you hear other sounds?
[07:47] <pZombie> I remember i got all to work on this laptop, including playing WoW via wine
[07:47] <harley> ActionParsnip: sorry I don't understand what you mean
[07:47] <crdlb> lockd: hardy has it at least
[07:47] <jrjr> pZombie: hows is 9.04
[07:48] <pZombie> jrjr so far it seems 8.04 is the winner
[07:48] <lockd> ah, that's why.
[07:48] <yoyit2> roccity_: yeah it starts playing the sound.. then shows the visualizer, then comes up with a window saying that it cant find the codec... then it says "search for codec". so i click search, and then its says there are non
[07:48] <kinja-sheep> !show gtk-theme-switch
[07:48] <kinja-sheep> !info gtk-theme-switch
[07:48] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: That key ID is the "Launchpad PPA for OpenOffice.org Scribblers" key. You just need to add that to your local key-ring
[07:48] <kinja-sheep> lockd: What do you mean?  It doesn't exist?  >_>
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> harley: run terminal, type xev, press enter, try youor keys
[07:48] <lockd> kinja-sheep: doesn't exist in intrepid's repositories, which means I have to build it
[07:49] <roccity_> yoyit2, you can try the medibuntu repo
[07:49] <jrjr> pZombie: do you know about the ati rv250 9000 driver
[07:49] <harley> alright, now what?
[07:49] <pZombie> jrjr - If you dont need some feature which 8.04 does not have, i d stick with it
[07:49] <kinja-sheep> lockd: I'm using intrepid -- How is it in my list?    It never showed up before....
[07:50] <roccity_> yoyit2, go to www.medibuntu.org I think it is and just copy and paste the code there in a terminal
[07:50] <pZombie> How do you uninstall old ati drivers completely, and how do you check if you really removed all?
[07:50] <roccity_> yoyit2, then type sudo apt-get install non-free-codec
[07:50] <robson> if i've decided to get the fgrlx driver from ati, do i have to apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx first?
[07:50] <roccity_> yoyit2, haveyou install the ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[07:51] <crdlb> lockd: well, you can always just edit the ~/.gtkrc if intrepid has no gui available
[07:51] <roccity_> that has most codecs and some other things like flash
[07:51] <lockd> crdlb: well I'll have to build some theme engines anyway
[07:51] <jrjr> pZombie: hey i forgot the command to show what version of ubuntu im running
[07:51] <pZombie> robson - i advice you to stick with what you have no if its running...
[07:51] <arieltav> OMFG i thought this was supposed to be easy!!! so i use the Desktop/Live CD to install Grub into my MBR (Master Boot Record). and i still have the same error 15!!!
[07:51] <yoyit2> roccity_: yes i have
[07:52] <robson> pZombie: it's not... following hardy instructions (latest... using intrepid tho) and insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko fails not finding the fglrx.ko file
[07:52] <roccity_> yoyit2, what version on ubuntu you running? 8.10 or 8.04?
[07:52] <arieltav> sombody please give me an easy answer! PLEASE!!!
[07:52] <yoyit2> roccity_: 8.10 .. and sudo apt-get install non-free-codec doesnt work
[07:52] <roccity_> yoyit2, type that after you get the medibuntu repo
[07:52] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: See https://edge.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa (note the "This repository is signed with...")
[07:53] <jrjr>  i forgot the command to show what version of ubuntu im running
[07:53] <roccity_> what happens when you type sudo ala-utils in a terminal?
[07:53] <new2ubuntu> how do i install a .run (bin i think)???
[07:53] <roccity_> yoyit2, does it show your sound card?
[07:53] <robson> new2ubuntu ./filename
[07:53] <roccity_> brb
[07:53] <pZombie> robson oh yeah, long ago i remember doing similar stuff to get mine working. aint it fun what you have to do to get proper acceleration going?
[07:53] <robson> if you're in its directory
[07:53] <IntuitiveNipple> jrjr: lsb_release -a
[07:54] <arieltav> there's 1301 people in this room is it possible that not one of them is knowlegable and kind enough to help with what i can only assume must be an easy problem!!??
[07:54] <new2ubuntu> robson: including the location of the file??
[07:54] <yoyit2> roccity_: im totally lost.. im failry new to linux still
[07:54] <robson> new2ubuntu: if the installer is in your homedir, and it's called ati-driver-installer..., do ./ati-driver-installer
[07:54] <jrjr> IntuitiveNipple:thanks thanks
[07:55] <arieltav> :'(
[07:55] <lockd> arieltav: error 15 means file not found. essentially means someone messed up the configurator, as you didn't configure it
[07:55] <pixelated> arieltav, are you still getting error 21?
[07:55] <robson> new2ubuntu: assuming you're in the same dir as the file. otherwise type the full path
[07:55] <lockd> I thought ariel said error 15
[07:55] <arieltav> yes.
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> harley: please put my complete name at the start of the line so its highlighted, you can tab complete names
[07:55] <arieltav> error 21
[07:55] <harley> ActionParsnip: how do I tab names?
[07:55] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: I take it that the deb src changed for the said package?
[07:56] <robson> new2ubuntu: and if that doesn't work, do chmod +x ati-driver-installer*
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> harley: type acti then press tab
[07:56] <pixelated> arieltav, are you booted on it with livecd? and does it have inet access in the livecd?
[07:56] <chinmay> hello, i a new on IRC and dont know much about using it, I have a question about gnome-do where do i ask
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> harley: in irc
[07:56] <new2ubuntu> robson: its in /home/amy/downlaods/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
[07:56] <harley> ActionParsnip, ah ok, is this highlighted?
[07:56] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: No idea but if you're getting an update then check the changelog for it
[07:56] <arieltav> no new ideas?? anyone?
[07:56] <arieltav> pixelated?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> harley: yes, and in a room of 1300 people it kinda helps
[07:56] <arieltav> robson?
[07:56] <pixelated> arieltav, are you booted on it with livecd? and does it have inet access in the livecd?
[07:56] <arieltav> yes and yes.
[07:56] <harley> ActionParsnip, haha ok sorry, thanks for the tip
[07:57] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: Yes, but there's too much distraction in this channel to focus on guiding you through fixing it
[07:57] <robson> new2ubuntu: type this exactly (without quotes): "cd ~amy/downloads; chmod +x ati-driver*; ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run"
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> harley: ok, make a note of the keycodes they create and you can use those to make stuff happen
[07:57] <lockd> arieltav: I don't know if you are able to install it, but the ONLY solution for me on one install was using lilo
[07:57] <pixelated> ok under applications  run terminal
[07:57] <crdlb> new2ubuntu: whoa, version 8.28.8 of the proprietary ATI driver (aka FGLRX) has absolutely zero chance of working on any recent version of ubuntu
[07:57] <pixelated> arieltav,  ok under applications  run terminal
[07:57] <arieltav> lockd: never heard of it.
[07:57] <harley> ActionParsnip, where do I enter the code?
[07:57] <arieltav> pixelated: ok.
[07:57] <lockd> arieltav: it's the only alternative to grub, really
[07:57] <jtaji> robson: (new2ubuntu) I believe you mean ~/downloads
[07:58] <chinmay> i want to install gnome-do, but synaptic is showing version 0.6 and 0.4 only, (i am using hardy)
