[03:24] <nickrud> mav: great!
[03:24] <Neatchee> Hi everyone, I'm still waiting for some help with a segmentation fault in gnome-keybinding-properties.  I've made a post on the forums, including a full description of the problem, relevant, a backtrace, and an strace output.
[03:24] <function1> scythetleppo: k. er, then what exactly does a theme engine change? i guess, what else is there besides widgets
[03:24] <scythetleppo> Pelo: so I have to clear all this data off just to install it and move it all back over?
[03:24] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  if you need to move some stuf out first, I suggest you plug the ubuntu hdd back in , use gparted to rezise the ntfs partition on your new hdd and then instlall windows on the available space
[03:24] <scythetleppo> function1: you know what emerald is?
[03:24] <cretep> how can I see my windows partition in Feisty?t
[03:24] <Neatchee> oops, meant to include the link to the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3344715#post3344715
[03:24] <function1> scythetleppo: themes for beryl?
[03:24] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  let me try that again
[03:24] <mav> nickrud, with the gconf-editor i've found the problem. can i write to this fat32 usb disk?
[03:24] <nickrud> Neatchee: have you checked bugs.launchpad.net ; that's where those things should go
[03:24] <usser> BuLB: exchange is a mail server right?
[03:24] <nickrud> mav: you should.
[03:24] <Ignominy> nickrud: I can't even get to Grub.
[03:24] <scythetleppo> function1: no emerald is the engine
[03:24] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  is there some free space on that hdd ?
[03:25] <nickrud> Ignominy: try with a livecd I guess.
[03:25] <mav> nickrud, but says that i don't have permissions
[03:25] <scythetleppo> Pelo: free space on both yes but one partition on each only
[03:25] <BuLB> usser : yiup..want to setup a mail server on ubuntu..how?
[03:25] <Pelo> scythetleppo, do not plug the ubuntu hdd back in
[03:25] <Neatchee> nickrud: i'm not prepared to say it's a bug in ubuntu/gnome yet, because i can't reproduce it on a fresh install
[03:25] <function1> scythetleppo: ok so if not widgets, theme engine does windows or something?
[03:25] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  join me in #pelo please
[03:25] <nugget93> hey can anyone help me?
[03:26] <kag> Hi guys, I'm having problem with my sound card. I've pushed all the sliders all the way up in Alsa Mixer and I still can't hear a sound in many applications (like VLC or Firefox). Actually the only applications that are outputting sound are Totem Movie Player and Skype. Any idea on what I could try?
[03:26] <Jengerer> nickrud: You there?
[03:26] <nickrud> mav: delete everything under volumes in the gconf-editor
[03:26] <nickrud> Jengerer: hey, how are you.
[03:26] <mav> nickrud, says "You do not have permissions to write to this folder."
[03:26] <usser> BuLB: i dont know much about it, linux has the sendmail server which was around for decades
[03:26] <Ignominy> Nickrud: I'm fairly certain I'm using a livecd.  It is possible I jacked up the burn; how, I don't know, but it is possible.
[03:27] <nickrud> Neatchee: I can relate to that, I nearly always find it's pebcak
[03:27] <Jengerer> nickrud: I tried the guide, it didn't work. So I tried opening my DSDT file and recompiling it (after fixing all the errors in it), but it still doesn't work. I think it's a lost cause.
[03:27] <Jengerer> nickrud: And nobody's replied to my post yet.
[03:27] <cretep> what do I need to do to see my windows partition on a dual boot machine (Feisty)?
[03:27] <saint-takesh4> cretep: mount it
[03:27] <nugget93> hey guys, I'm wondering a few things before i install ubuntu. They are :  1. Does is have Macromedia Flash Player?   2. Whats the chance i'll lose data from windows XP (im dual booting) and lastly 3. anyone wanna walk me through partitioning?
[03:28] <nickrud> Jengerer: some things are hard. That's one of the reasons I try to stay away from compiling where ever possible these days. I compiled up a system a couple times, that was enough :)
[03:28] <eypt> hmm auto message on private pelo?
[03:28] <Pelo> eypt, I don'T allow private msg please talk to me in the channel
[03:28] <eypt> ahh np m8 :)
[03:28] <cretep> how do I mount it (this is a newbie help channel, right)?
[03:28] <mkultras> i was trying to install pptpd server for many hours already, i was going to try webmin to config it so i did apt-get install webmin but no go, and then apt-cache search webmin and its not there, cat /etc/debian_version says 4.0 on my server
[03:28] <Jengerer> nickrud: I guess I'm going to have to stick with my eye-candy-less XP Media Center and check back until there's a fix.
[03:28] <nugget93> so can anyone help me?
[03:28] <mav> nickrud, done, only default values know
[03:28] <anandanbu> I installed Ubuntu 7.04 as the only OS for my system and the GRUB is not getting detected during the boot Help needed
[03:29] <nickrud> mav: unmount the drive, and stick it back in.
[03:29] <mkultras> any suggetsion now i can get pptpd configed i'm super frustrated now
[03:29] <Surf24> Are Gigabyte motherboards linux compatible?
[03:29] <eypt> hmm u use the linux irc or mirc pelo?
[03:29] <Jengerer> nugget93: 1. yes 2. None if you've done it right. 3. For what purpose?
[03:29] <Pelo> Surf24,  you can try looking in here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:29] <jacob_> having problems installing my wireless driver, can anybody help?
[03:29] <Pelo> eypt,  I use xchat
[03:29] <nugget93>  jengerer: 3. So i can install ubuntu linux
[03:30] <nugget93> jengerer: im running the live version right now
[03:30] <eypt> hmm i find this one easier to manage with the other windows pelo mirc was killin me with the popup windows :P
[03:30] <jamescarr> I need to find out what port tomcat is runnin on
[03:30] <Pelo> jacob_,  it is better to ask specific questions if anyone can hlep they will try
[03:30] <jamescarr> what command?
[03:30] <Surf24> Thx will try, ayone out there with an Ibex desktop?
[03:30] <Jengerer> nugget93: Do you have two harddrives installed on your computer
[03:30] <nugget93> jengerer: no just 1
[03:30] <aguitel> !.mov
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mov - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <cretep> how do i mount my windoze xp partition so I can see it?
[03:30] <nickrud> mkultras: what does lsb_release -a say
[03:31] <Pelo> eypt,  that is why I block private msg
[03:31] <adelie> every startup it says the disks havn't been checked in thousands of days then freezes. ???
[03:31] <eypt> ahh lol
[03:31] <Jengerer> nugget93: Then you're going to have to get a program called Partition Magic and resize your partition so that you have a separate partition for Ubuntu.
[03:31] <Thor_> does anyone here use WEBMIN?
[03:31] <anandanbu> I installed Ubuntu 7.04 as the only OS for my system and the GRUB is not getting detected during the boot Help needed
[03:31] <adelie> I love webmin
[03:31] <saint-takesh2> cretep: firstly, find out the device name for the partition (/dev/hdxy, where x is the letter of the harddrive {a=pri master, b=pri slave, etc) and y is the partition number
[03:31] <Jengerer> nugget93: it's a windows software, and it's not free.
[03:31] <nugget93> jengerer: I've heard with feisty fawn, you can partition from within the installer or use gparted
[03:31] <ckin2001> Jengerer, you can use gparted to resize windows
[03:31] <jacob_> pelo, can you help me? I'm having difficulties knowing which driver i need to download at step two at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[03:32] <nugget93> jengerer: btw if you didnt know im using the live version of feisty fawn right now
[03:32] <WojciechG> Hi everyone. I just did a Distribution Upgrade on Ubuntu and one of my partitions "lost" all of its data... "Lost" as in the files disappeared but the data appears to be there. How can I retrieve this?
[03:32] <adelie> anadanbu did you make sure the boot loader was updated and installed? update-grub && grub-install (something like that)
[03:32] <Pelo> jacob_, I don'T use wifi myself, and I've never installed it , but I'll give it a look
[03:32] <Jengerer> nugget93: So press ALT + F2, and type in sudo gparted.
[03:33] <VousDeux> so far, the best partioning reference I have found is titled "Linux Partition HOWTO"
[03:33] <nickrud> mav: ping
[03:33] <Jengerer> nugget93: Then when you get there, you have to resize the partition that's there. (Should only be one.)
[03:33] <Jengerer> nugget93: Then, when you're installing ubuntu, you have to choose the second partition for installing.
[03:33] <nickrud> VousDeux: tldp.org, a great site :)
[03:33] <nugget93> jengerer: there is and ive defragged hard drive and its 45% free and its 300gb, how much space do i need for linux and how many different partitions
[03:34] <Jengerer> nugget93: And if you haven't made a new partition out of the one that was created when you resized, you should be able to just select "largest continuous partition" or whatever the option is.
[03:34] <Pelo> jacob_,  look up your wifi card in this link and see if it is listed and if they tell you which driver to use  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:34] <Azer> how do i solve this?  Sep 10 17:32:47 mars kernel: [369696.137150]  NTFS-fs error (device hdb5): ntfs_readdir(): Directory index record with vcn 0x0 is corrupt.  Corrupt inode 0x2098.  Run chkdsk.
[03:34] <{{Booh}}> hey... what happen to package "localeconf" ?  I can't find it!
[03:34] <MTecknology> where are my icons at for items that load into the tray? There one icon shows up blank when my panel is too small b/c it's missing a certain file
[03:34] <nickrud> Azer: you should have windows check and fix it's own disk, it's safer
[03:34] <Azer> nickrud if i had a windows box here.
[03:34] <Azer> hmmm
[03:34] <Jengerer> nugget93: You only need one partition that's not formatted to any type yet, and it'll automatically create everything you need. Ubuntu takes up maximum 3-5 gbs (I think) so 70-100 would be more than enough.
[03:35] <MTecknology> i think there's supposed to be something like a 16x16 and a 32x32 directory or something like that
[03:35] <nugget93> jengerer: ok ive heard about a swap thing? whats that
[03:35] <nickrud> Azer: then you need to read up on chkdsk or wait for someone who's used it. :)
[03:35] <scythetleppo> Pelo: I got some errors =/
[03:35] <cretep> ok, gparted says the windoze partition is /dev/sda1
[03:35] <Azer> nickrud cool
[03:35] <cretep> how do i mount it?
[03:35] <nickrud> gotta go eat, bbl
[03:36] <Jengerer> nugget93: I'm not exactly sure, honestly... but I know that Ubuntu automatically creates it out of the partition that you set for the installation.
[03:36] <ckin2001> nugget93, swap is a swap partition, like windows swap file
[03:36] <nugget93> jengerer: ok ive freed up about 40gb now what do i do?
[03:36] <nugget93> so i have 40gb of extra not used partition
[03:36] <xeer> hi everyone, i have a somewhat odd issue
[03:37] <Jengerer> nugget93: First, make sure you've applied the changes in GParted by clicking apply, and then start the Install file on the desktop.
[03:37] <nugget93> so thats all
[03:37] <eypt> pelo np m8 :)
[03:37] <nugget93> i dont gotta make new partitions
[03:37] <xeer> i'm using a mounted sshfs resource, which i've given ownership of to my non-root account. i can create a file, modify it once, and then get locked out of the file. what could cause this?
[03:37] <Jengerer> No.
[03:38] <nugget93> i hope thats not gonna delete any of my data that i got on windows, i just hit apply
[03:38] <Jengerer> If you did it correctly, it shouldn't.
[03:38] <arkanes> does anyone know if theres a repo where someone has pidgin packaged, preferably in a package that correcly obseletes the old gaim package?
[03:38] <ckin2001> xeer - can't remember how sshfs works, but is it mounted to quash root (like nfs)?
[03:38] <nugget93> ok, thanks jengerer
[03:38] <moyer> how do i set dolphin as my default file manager?
[03:38] <preaction> !backports | arkanes

[03:39] <kanuha> question, does Linux work with all SATA? Does it need anything special, I read something about ACHI or AHCI.
[03:39] <Jengerer> nugget93: No problem. Welcome to Ubuntu. :D
[03:39] <lufis> Is there any way in dvd::rip to automatically resize a video?
[03:39] <MasonUS> Yes, it supports SATA
[03:39] <PKdoR> I just noticed that i can use the back/foward buttons of my mouse on firefox but not on the file browser
[03:39] <xeer> ckin2001: i assume you're referring to squash root? either case i'm not familiar with that term
[03:39] <thedash> why does iptraf need to be run as admin ?
[03:39] <MasonUS> Check out the compatibility listing for your motherboard on the forums.
[03:39] <nugget93> Jengerer: lol this seems like its taking a while, i keep getting more and more nervous
[03:40] <arkanes> it's not in backports as far as I can tell
[03:40] <ckin2001> xeer - it prevents local root from acting as root on a remote file system
[03:40] <JamesCarr> how do I refresh my shell?
[03:40] <JamesCarr> so I can see my bash script?
[03:40] <JamesCarr> I mean, my bashrc
[03:40] <Palintheus> How do I enable/disable "tapping" on my laptop's touchpad?
[03:40] <xeer> ckin2001: ah yes, i've been looking for a way to do that
[03:40] <Jengerer> nugget93: If your computer is decently new/fast, it should take maybe 5-10 minutes for the installation.
[03:40] <vich> Palintheus, usually obtain the correct driver
[03:41] <ckin2001> xeer, duno how it works on sshfs on the remote side, its well-documented and recommended on nfs
[03:41] <ckin2001> xeer, i imagine sshfs has an equivalent
[03:41] <SnarkyTwit> Hi folks
[03:41] <smick> IS there a way to create a text file of a list of files > folders inside a folder?
[03:41] <BuLB> how to format the ubuntu?
[03:41] <xeer> ckin2001: i would be modifying the GID/UID correct?
[03:42] <ckin2001> xeer, i dont follow
[03:42] <Surf24> Wish me luck. Bye.
[03:42] <vich> Palintheus, for example I had an alps touchpad on my dell and by obtaining a better driver somewhere I had a config which allowed toggle of tapping, scrolling, inertial movement, etc
[03:42] <vich> BuLB, format the ubuntu?
[03:42] <xeer> ckin2001: nor do i.. searching proves fruitless
[03:42] <arsonx> smik: sudo aptitude install tree
[03:42] <SnarkyTwit> how the hell is everyone tonight??
[03:43] <BuLB> vich : yes...want to format my existing ubuntu and reinstall a fresh one.
[03:43] <arsonx> smik: tree /somedir > somedir.txt
[03:43] <JoseBravo> I don't remember what version of ubunto Im using, how can I check that?
[03:43] <Pelo> SnarkyTwit, mean and nasty
[03:43] <eypt> hmm does anyone know a linux based anti virus gaurd ?
[03:43] <BuLB> vich : how to format a pc with ubuntu on it?
[03:43] <Neatchee> eypt: clamav
[03:43] <smick> arsonx, it says it going to uninstall cabextract to get tree.  Ok?
[03:43] <SnarkyTwit> :)
[03:43] <eypt> neatchee tyvm
[03:43] <Pelo> JoseBravo, check in the first tab of the system monitor
[03:43] <vich> BuLB, just boot from the disc like you did to install it and when you reach the partition section choose manual
[03:43] <ambrose_> pelo r u always on
[03:43] <ambrose_> WHAHAHAHAHA
[03:44] <Pelo> ambrose_, no , I just drop in for a couple of hours every now and again
[03:44] <JoseBravo> Pelo, thanks.
[03:44] <vich> BuLB, then click the box next to your existing ubuntu partition, make sure the mount point is set to / and away you go
[03:44] <ambrose_> ha koooool
[03:44] <smick> y
[03:44] <blackmars0> Hi.
[03:44] <arsonx> smik: not sure didn't do it on mine :(
[03:44] <blackmars0> I have a quick question, if somebody's willing... I don't want to waste space on the forums.
[03:45] <Flannel> blackmars0: Best to just ask, instead of asking to ask.
[03:45] <smick> arsonx: maybe it was just a loose file from something else.
[03:45] <Thor_> =/
[03:45] <Pelo> blackmars0,  just ask
[03:45] <vich> blackmars0, for best results, just ask
[03:45] <smick> I got tree. Looking into it.
[03:45] <blackmars0> I see, thanks.
[03:45] <ckin2001> xeer, fuse options of sshfs has allow rootas one
[03:45] <Thor_> does anyone know how to bring up the gui for webmin?
[03:45] <vich> blackmars0, then see your forums if pain persists
[03:45] <arsonx> smick: you can also do ls -R > file.txt
[03:45] <ckin2001> Thor_, localhost:(webmin port)
[03:46] <ckin2001> in address bar of browser
[03:46] <arsonx> smick: tree just sorts in a "tree" format
[03:46] <blackmars0> ok, so I dual boot XP (hd 0,1) and ubuntu (hd 0,0), I want to resintall ubuntu, can I just reinstall from the liveCD on the ubuntu partition or do I have to wipe the entire drive and start over?
[03:46] <Jengerer> You can just reinstall to the ubuntu partition.
[03:46] <vich> blackmars0, you can reinstall from the live cd
[03:46] <xeer> chkin2001: thanks, i'll look into it
[03:46] <vich> just choose the right partition
[03:46] <smick> arsonx:  that pretty good to, it does subdirectories even.
[03:46] <blackmars0> Shouldn't corrupt my XP partition at all?
[03:47] <Pelo> blackmars0, you can just reinstall ubuntu on the ubunth partition , but be warned if will whipe your /home , unless you copy it first or move it to a diffrent partition
[03:47] <arsonx> smike: y
[03:47] <vich> provided you don't click the format checkbox next to the windows partition
[03:47] <Jengerer> No, if you choose the right partition.
[03:47] <blackmars0> ok, excellent.
[03:47] <blackmars0> Thank you very much.
[03:47] <vich> I've done it thrice now
[03:47] <Pelo> blackmars0, unless you pck the wrong partiton your xp partiton is safe
[03:47] <vich> so you have my confirmation
[03:47] <blackmars0> A++, would ask again.
[03:47] <MasonUS> I'm thinking about building a machine just for ubuntu.  I've got a parts list already.  Where would be a good place to have my list critiqued?
[03:47] <Thor_> ckin2001 can you give me an example is it like webmin:80?
[03:47] <smick> arsonx:  just so I know, where does tree reside now, under a menu?
[03:47] <blackmars0> cheers, guys. later.
[03:47] <vich> is he giving us ebay-esque feedback?
[03:47] <vich> o_O
[03:48] <ckin2001> Thor_, localhost:2000 or <IP_ADDRESS>:580
[03:48] <ckin2001> but duno the actual # after the :
[03:48] <arsonx> smick: its a console program you run in a terminal
[03:48] <vich> and then the goat grew an extra horn
[03:48] <scythetleppo> Pelo: no bootmgr now
[03:48] <Pelo> vich, it's no worse then  you the man
[03:48] <Thor_> ckin2001 ok thx ill give that a try
[03:48] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  did you plug the ubuntu hdd back in ?
[03:48] <smick> ahh, just figured that out just as you wrote it.  go into directory, type tree, and I m good.
[03:48] <vich> lol Pelo
[03:48] <scythetleppo> Pelo: no
[03:49] <vich> well, I'm off for a bit
[03:49] <Pelo> scythetleppo, plug the ubuntu hdd back it
[03:49] <Pelo> in
[03:49] <scythetleppo> Pelo: haven't finished installing xp
[03:49] <MasonUS> no answer on that one, lol
[03:49] <MasonUS> thats ok.
[03:49] <Pelo> scythetleppo, well that's why you get no boot manager
[03:49] <scythetleppo> Pelo: ?
[03:49] <Pelo> scythetleppo, #pelo again

[03:51] <Gaidin> hello in gnome when i connect to a ftp server (with login) how do i set it to pasv
[03:51] <Gaidin> ie through places
[03:52] <Jengerer> Is there a way to change the chip that the alsamixer controls, if it's not using the right one.
[03:53] <Ravenndude`> I have an odd tech question, not ubuntu related: If a packet has a "length" of 66, what is that? 66 bits?
[03:54] <nugget93> jengerer: I got a question can you help me?
[03:54] <Jengerer> nugget93: Yeah, go ahead.
[03:54] <preaction> Ravenndude`, most likely 66 bytes
[03:55] <nugget93> ok, after ive installed it, i havent started can i make it so it loads windows automatically unless i hold uhh like enter then it boots into ubuntu?
[03:55] <Nighthawk420_> hey can yall help me setup my HP Photosmart C5100 network printer?

[03:55] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:56] <Jengerer> When you start up your computer, does it show you a list of OSs you can boot with?
[03:56] <nugget93> idk i havent installed yet
[03:56] <nugget93> but i was wondering if that was possible
[03:57] <PKdoR> can some one help with  a mouse trouble
[03:57] <Jengerer> Oh, well, when you install it, there's going to be a list of OS's you can boot with, and it automatically chooses the first one unless you say so, so you can just change the order.
[03:57] <orion> Ravenndude`, I agree with preaction ...though it is more common to refer to packet 'size' vice 'length'
[03:57] <Pici> Gaidin: I just did some sniffing and it looks like it uses pasv by default.
[03:57] <Gaidin> oh?
[03:57] <nugget93> ok ill install

[03:58] <Nyle> could anyone kindly guide me to ntfs3g RW in ubuntu?
[03:58] <Pici> Nyle: read above.
[03:58] <Blackmars0> ok, so I'm reinstalling ubuntu on it's partition as I planned, so I've selected the ubuntu partition, and selected it to be formatted, but when I click "forward" it says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
[03:58] <Gaidin> i am trying to connect to ftp.freewebtown.com (the sita says www.freewebtown.com so i am trying that as well) but even though the window is popping up
[03:58] <Nyle> oh
[03:58] <Gaidin> i am not getting any content
[03:58] <nugget93> i just tried to partition and it said it failed but it still had the partitions and stuff showing that it actually happened, is that good or bad
[03:58] <Ravenndude`> orion, thank you. In the pcap ruby lib, you can do packet.length and there is nothing in the documentation that says what it is.
[03:58] <Nyle> thanks, I didn't see Azer
[03:59] <gnurph> i had X working properly - then modified xorg.conf to use a serial mouse - didn't work - then i changed it back - and now X won't start properly.  Any suggestions?
[03:59] <Nighthawk420_> hey can yall help me setup my HP Photosmart C5100 network printer?
[03:59] <Evanlec> gnurph, check for typos
[03:59] <PKdoR> would [".*" None,Up,Alt_L|Left None,Down,Alt_L|Right]  Make the back/forward mouse buttons work on the file browser?
[03:59] <Jengerer> nugget93: Close Gparted if it's open, and reopen it and see if the changes are there.
[04:00] <foxray> hmm i emptied my trash bin yet, the icon still says its full, i open it and i don't see anything in there, no hidden items either
[04:00] <gnurph> evanlec:  i copied the old xorg.conf overtop of the current one to make sure it wasn't an issue.
[04:00] <foxray> whats the deal?
[04:00] <Evanlec> PKdoR, where/how are u trying to configure your forward/back buttons?
[04:00] <Blackmars0> ok, so I'm reinstalling ubuntu on it's partition as I planned, so I've selected the ubuntu partition, and selected it to be formatted, but when I click "forward" it says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.", any ideas?
[04:00] <Evanlec> gnurph, ok, u might have to do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:01] <LOWLUX> IS THERE A PROGRAM THAT WILL SAVE MY SETTING ON A LIVE CD TO A USE DRIVE?
[04:01] <Nyle> I have ran the ntfs-config tool, and checked the internal/external write support boxes.  How do I mount the drive now? Should I still use the ntfs fstype or something else?
[04:01] <Pici> !caps | LOWLUX
[04:01] <ubotu> LOWLUX: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:01] <nugget93> jengerer: the changes are still there, it said the errors were like checking filesystem and stuff
[04:02] <Jengerer> nugget93: Not sure, but if the changes are there, it should be OK.
[04:02] <vader1102> LOWLUX, does it not auto mount? They normally do....
[04:02] <TheMafia> I can only startx as root, I have chowned everything in my directory to me and it still doesn't work
[04:02] <VousDeux> !swap
[04:02] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[04:02] <Nyle> the ntfs-config tool only lets me enable or disable write support, it doesn't have anything that can let me select a mount point as it says on the wiki
[04:02] <LOWLUX> not the live cd
[04:02] <nugget93> ok ill try it now
[04:02] <Nyle> is the documentation wrong or is the software lacking?
[04:02] <Nyle> whats going on here?
[04:02] <ian_> I've got a config file that says "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!" which libraries do I need?
[04:03] <LOWLUX> i want to save my settings on a live cd/
[04:03] <LOWLUX> how?
[04:03] <ian_> or do I have them and the configure can't find them?
[04:03] <TheMafia> My .Xauthority keeps getting a group of root instead of my user, even after chowning .*
[04:04] <vader1102> sorry LOWLUX I mis-read as usual
[04:04] <bruenig> TheMafia, don't sudo graphical applications
[04:04] <LOWLUX> i want to save my settings on a live cd? how?
[04:04] <fujin_> Hi, what does everyone use for management of iptables via Init?
[04:04] <bruenig> LOWLUX, calm down
[04:04] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone here know anything about Fuppes ?
[04:04] <fujin_> I'd rather not write my own script to drop in /etc/init.d
[04:04] <Nyle> ahh
[04:04] <LOWLUX> i can't install linux on a 1 gig use drive?
[04:05] <Nyle> fstype as in mount -t is ntfs-3g not ntfs
[04:05] <VousDeux> !partition
[04:05] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[04:05] <bruenig> fujin_, iptables is launched by default, are you thinking the rules go away or something each boot?
[04:05] <Nyle> why is this not ducumented on the wiki link that was provided to me
[04:05] <nugget93> jengerer: its asking me for Guided - Use entire disk with a sub option that says SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) - 300.1 GB ATA WDC WD3000JD-00k or i can choose Guided - use the largest continuous free space or another option is manual, what should i choose jengerer
[04:05] <fujin_> bruenig, iptables isn't launched, it's a kernel module, but yes. I'm referring to a script which will persistently restore my firewall rules
[04:05] <fujin_> from a configuration file
[04:05] <bruenig> Nyle, heh, the ubuntu wiki is awful, people put stuff on their blogs not on the wiki
[04:05] <fujin_> ala /etc/init.d/iptables in Gentoo
[04:05] <Jengerer> nugget93: Use the largest continuous free space.
[04:06] <Nyle> bruenig: then discard the wiki ?
[04:06] <TheMafia> bruenig, I know, I just need to test to see if it was a permissions problem and it is
[04:06] <PKdoR> can some one help configuring back/forward buttons for file browser please?
[04:06] <nugget93> ok
[04:06] <Nyle> or maybe educate the users a bit better
[04:06] <FFForever> is there a 3rd generation firewall?, (a software level firewall.........)
[04:06] <bruenig> fujin_, um do which iptables
[04:07] <bruenig> fujin_, it is indeed launched
[04:07] <anandanbu> I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 in my machine with 100 mb for /boot(pri) and 100gb for /(logical) and 2gb for swap with a 50gb freespace and now when i boot inot my system the GRUB doesn't get detected and shows error
[04:07] <nugget93> jengerer is there a way i can pm you?
[04:07] <LOWLUX> where can i get a cheap IDE hard drive?
[04:07] <fujin_> bruenig, um, no it's not.   I can't immagine how a new user must feel
[04:07] <fujin_> no, something that controls the rules needs to be launched
[04:07] <bruenig> or restored if you will
[04:07] <Nyle> heh
[04:08] <fujin_> and there is not one ;)
[04:08] <bruenig> like alsa
[04:08] <fujin_> yes, like alsa. There isn't one for iptables.
[04:08] <fujin_> no /etc/init.d/iptables or anything.
[04:08] <bruenig> hmmm
[04:08] <fujin_> dpkg -L iptables
[04:08] <anandanbu> Help needed, I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 in my machine with 100 mb for /boot(pri) and 100gb for /(logical) and 2gb for swap with a 50gb freespace and now when i boot inot my system the GRUB doesn't get detected and shows error
[04:08] <VousDeux> can someone tell me how much space each of the directories in the / context is  consuming?
[04:08] <bruenig> fujin_, weird
[04:09] <fujin_> yes, well. any suggestions?
[04:09] <anandanbu> This is my fdisk output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37067/
[04:09] <nugget93> jengerer: is there a way to confirm everything is correct b4 i install?
[04:09] <fujin_> even debian has one, I'm not sure why ubuntu hasn't bothered to be honest
[04:10] <LOWLUX> IDE Ultra ATA100(32)IDE Ultra ATA133 are they the same hard drives?

[04:10] <d4rkmonkey> Anyone here own an xbox360 and has music streaming to it from a Ubuntu server edition?
[04:10] <LOWLUX> would Ultra ATA133 work on a older computer?
[04:10] <ubotu> Package/file /etc/init.d/iptables does not exist in feisty
[04:10] <Jengerer> nugget93: Hmm... considering that you selected Use the Largest Continuous Free Space is kind of a failsafe, because that means it'll only use an empty partition.
[04:10] <bruenig> fujin_, that's a hell of a question, I am not on ubuntu but that is really bizarre
[04:11] <JamesCarr> what is the package for the syntax hilighter for vim?
[04:11] <bruenig> !find vim
[04:11] <ubotu> Found: jvim-canna, jvim-doc, vim-latexsuite, vim-scripts, vim-vimoutliner (and 15 others)
[04:11] <anandanbu> VousDeux: whats that for
[04:11] <fujin_> JamesCarr, install package 'vim' instead of 'vim-tiny', and then do :syntax on

[04:12] <qazwsx> is there a way in X/Gnome/Kde to make my window be 12800 x 10240 pixels? (I.e. my monitor is only 1280x1024, so I will have to move around to see the entire screen; but I want apps to think that I am 12800 x 10240 pixels) (i.e. when I move around, my windows pans; and apps thinkgs that my monitor is 12800 x 10240 pixels)
[04:12] <VousDeux> anandanbu: what do you have installed in those partitions?
[04:13] <scrip> I've got a config script that says it needs the qt headers and libraries, but I've installed libqt4 and libqt4-dev
[04:13] <scrip> what next?
[04:13] <VousDeux> anandanbu: is /dev/sda1 /boot?
[04:14] <anandanbu> VousDeux: I have the first 100 mb for /boot and the next 100gb for / of ubuntu
[04:15] <Jengerer> nugget93: have you already started the setup?
[04:15] <anandanbu> VousDeux: Yes the /dev/sda1 is /boot only
[04:15] <VousDeux> anandanbu: and the other three partitions?
[04:15] <VousDeux> anandanbu: well...other two...swap is obvious
[04:15] <liu> hi
[04:16] <VousDeux> does /boot need 100MB, or would something more like 30MB suffice?
[04:16] <anandanbu> VousDeux: the /dev/sda2 is my Ubuntu and /dev/sda6 is freespace as i didn't mount anyhting in it and kept for installing debian4.0

[04:17] <VousDeux> anandanbu: ahhh... Okay, thanks!
[04:17] <anandanbu> VousDeux: But my problemis that when i boot into my system the GRUB doesn't get detected
[04:17] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to salvage files from a windows box.  Is there some way I can mass copy every .doc and .jpg to my own linux box by piping output from find and using ssh, but without having to type my password for every file?
[04:17] <anandanbu> VousDeux: But when i boot using a ubuntu cd and select boot from first hdd option it boots well into the system
[04:18] <Pelo> craigbass1976, can'T use gui ?
[04:18] <WojciechG> Hi everyone. I have a partition on ubuntu whose files have disappeared... They're there, but don't appear as hidden or anything, and the data isn't lost. Does anyone know how I can retrieve them?
[04:18] <VousDeux> anandanbu: oh, haha...I thought you posted your fdisk in response to my question
[04:18] <Pelo> craigbass1976, sudo cp /path/whatever/*
[04:18] <Random832> craigbass1976: looks like a job for tar
[04:18] <bruenig> craigbass1976, why not use find to move them all to the same place and then scp -R or tar it up
[04:19] <craigbass1976> Pelo, for some reason I can't access the ntfs partition as ubuntu, only as root on the livecd
[04:19] <Random832> you don't have to make a tar file - pipe tar over ssh
[04:19] <Random832> tar c | ssh otherhost tar x
[04:19] <Pelo> craigbass1976, can you access your ubuntu partition as well ?  just drag and drop
[04:19] <craigbass1976> Random832, but the files are not all in the same place.
[04:19] <Random832> you use the output from find as a file list for tar
[04:20] <craigbass1976> Pelo, no ubuntu partition.  It's a friend's xp box; I'm only using livecd because windows is stuck in perpetual reboot
[04:20] <Pelo> craigbass1976, what do you intend to save to ?
[04:20] <craigbass1976> Pelo, and no read access by anyone but root
[04:21] <craigbass1976> Pelo, dump it over to my box (it runs linux)
[04:21] <VousDeux> I'm trying to determine how much space I should allocate to /boot, /tmp, /usr, /home, /var, and maybe /opt if Ubuntu uses it. I can't seem to find a current document that discusses partitioning. I don't like to put everything in one partition.
[04:21] <Pelo> craigbass1976, open the terminal    gksu nautilus   that will give you the file manager as root
[04:22] <Pelo> VousDeux, why do you want to make so many partitions ? do you actualy need to do that ? I only hve 3  / ,   /swap and /home
[04:22] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, 100mb /boot couple gigs for /, 3-4 for /var and /usr, and all you can manage for /home.  Maybe more for /var/ and /usr, depending on how many apps you're going to install
[04:22] <JamesCarr> whats the command to see what is running on what ports?
[04:22] <Pelo> VousDeux, I put in 10 gig for / and I'm only using 3 atm
[04:23] <VousDeux> I like more partitions for security.
[04:23] <VousDeux> thanks craigbass1976
[04:23] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, / doesn't really fill up much if /var and /usr are on their own partitions.  As I said, a couple should do it
[04:23] <fulio> hi, was does it sometimes my wireless card works and it doesnt, example, like it would sometimes connect wireless and sometimes it wont why does it do that?
[04:24] <krammer> what is the quickest way to remove gaim in the terminal
[04:24] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, /var is going to fill up on a heavily trafficked web/database server
[04:24] <craigbass1976> krammer, sudo apt-get remove gaim?
[04:24] <JamesCarr> whats the command to see what is running on what ports?
[04:24] <Pelo> fulio,  I thin kyou need to rephrase your question
[04:24] <paladin_1991> how long should ubuntu 7 take to install on a comp with a pentium d dualcore 2.8ghz cpu and 1gb of ram?
[04:24] <craigbass1976> fulio, do you have a dlink router?  THat's what my problem is
[04:24] <Frogzoo> VousDeux: might be easier to just use 15gig for /, & the rest /home depending
[04:24] <VousDeux> I plan to run LAMP development on this box
[04:24] <Pelo> paladin_1991, 30 min ?
[04:25] <Flannel> paladin_1991: Are you using the alternate CD with LVM?
[04:25] <PKdoR> id say about 15-20minutes
[04:25] <orion> JamesCarr, try netstat -a
[04:25] <krammer> thanx craig
[04:25] <PKdoR> no im using the desop cd
[04:25] <craigbass1976> krammer, be careful it doesn't start removing stuff you didn't want though; pay attention
[04:25] <Frogzoo> VousDeux: apache/mysql put content in /var - & really ought to be a separate partition/disk/striped raid set..
[04:26] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, are you registered?  I sent a pm
[04:26] <krammer> craig: do u know how to install jva jr 6 iv downloaded
[04:26] <Pici> !java
[04:26] <craigbass1976> krammer, jre?
[04:26] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[04:26] <krammer> yes
[04:26] <VousDeux> craigbass1976: I got your message and replied. not registered.
[04:26] <FFForever> can i block wine from accessing the Internet
[04:26] <Pelo> krammer, you can install java6 from the repos no need to dl anything, you just ahve to enalbe backport in the repos
[04:26] <fulio> why doesnt my wiresless card work.
[04:26] <krammer> newbie
[04:27] <Pelo> FFForever, you need to ask in #wine
[04:27] <Pelo> FFForever, I mean #winehq
[04:27] <FFForever> they said no :(
[04:27] <FFForever> i was hoping there was an ubuntu only solution

[04:27] <JamesCarr> sorry
[04:27] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, you have im?
[04:27] <Flannel> jordan_: netstat
[04:27] <JamesCarr> didnt see your response till now
[04:28] <Flannel> JamesCarr:
[04:28] <FFForever> is there a 3rd generation firewall?, (a software level firewall.........)????
[04:28] <craigbass1976> FFForever, iptables?
[04:28] <PKdoR> any body here has succesfully configured the Back/forward mouse buttons?
[04:28] <FFForever> craigbass1976, iptables is port/ip not program
[04:28] <FFForever> iptables is a second gen firewall
[04:28] <craigbass1976> Ahh.  My bad
[04:29] <Frogzoo> FFForever: iptables is extremely sophisticated
[04:29] <Pelo> later folks
[04:29] <krammer> bye
[04:29] <Frogzoo> iptables does everything firewalls do & then some
[04:29] <VousDeux> craigbass1976: no IM...I don't usually spend much time on chat
[04:29] <FFForever> Frogzoo, u know a way for me to only block wine?
[04:29] <craigbass1976> FFForever, THere's one I ran in Solaris once.  Ipfilter; it may be the same idea as iptables though
[04:29] <craigbass1976> FFForever, is WINE trying to get out on the network by itself?
[04:30] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, ok.  well, just remember that /var (especially--logs are there) and /usr might get big on a LAMP box
[04:30] <FFForever> no my game is....
[04:30] <craigbass1976> FFForever, Iptables should be able to do that.
[04:30] <FFForever> how?
[04:31] <craigbass1976> FFForever, I don't know; I'm always trying to keep people out, not in.
[04:31] <yimmmy> whats up dudes
[04:31] <craigbass1976> FFForever, I block everything except x, x, and x, etc
[04:31] <yimmmy> havent been around in a while
[04:31] <FFForever> i like keeping people in :)
[04:31] <Frogzoo> FFForever: if you run wine as a different user, you can block by owner
[04:31] <FFForever> hmmm, Frogzoo how can i do that?
[04:32] <WojciechG> OK! turns out the partition just disappeared -- not loading in Ubuntu, but when I put in the GParted LiveCD my partition appears (though I can't mount it). Does anyone know how I can copy its contents?
[04:32] <maxd> #compiz-fusion

[04:51] <jarjarbinks> how do i edit sources.lst, did it before, forgot
[04:51] <PKdoR> so i can make the back anf forwar buttons work on the file browser?
[04:51] <biggahed> Jack_Sparrow, i did. but then i got the screen to like 30cm to the left
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> jarjarbinks: gksudo gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:51] <JeevesMoss> ??
[04:52] <PKdoR> my original question was "how to get the back and forward mouse buttons work on the file browser?"
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> jarjarbinks: Or sudo nano from cli
[04:52] <Frogzoo> PKdoR: not sure you can
[04:52] <ckin2001> JeevesMoss, did you install the php5-mysql module?
[04:52] <bruenig> PKdoR, you need to figure out what the keyboard shortcut is for that and then bind those buttons to that shortcut
[04:52] <KevinOman> anyone know what my prefix means?
[04:52] <PKdoR> but i kind of watered it down to whats my file browser
[04:52] <bruenig> KevinOman, you compiling?
[04:52] <scythetleppo> I have windows xp installed on hard drive 2 and ubuntu installed on hard drive 1. what do I have to do to my grub to set it up to choose when I boot?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> scythetleppo: which did you install first
[04:53] <PKdoR> its alt+back or forward arrows
[04:53] <Grungebunny> scythetleppo it should do it itself..
[04:53] <KevinOman> bruenig: I believe so
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[04:53] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:53] <bruenig> !mouse | PKdoR those are the keybindings for firefox too, so this should work

[04:53] <KevinOman> bruenig: I am running the command python setup.py install --prefix=yourprefix
[04:53] <scythetleppo> i installed ubuntu then xp
[04:53] <JeevesMoss> ckin2001:  yes I did.  if you want to look @ the output from the PHP script, it's W www.penn-tawsha.net/test.php
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> scythetleppo: See the link lost grub after installing windows
[04:53] <bruenig> KevinOman, yeah, well you know how linux applications are split into lib bin share sbin and so forth?
[04:54] <KevinOman> yes
[04:54] <scythetleppo> thanks
[04:54] <orion> jarjarbinks, I think Nvu is now called KompoZer...try searching the repos for that.
[04:54] <bruenig> KevinOman, the prefix is the directory containing those, so if you do --prefix=/usr, it will install all the stuff in /usr/lib /usr/bin /usr/share /usr/sbin and so forth
[04:54] <biggahed> Jack_Sparrow, fixed.. i had setted the screen to 1650x1050 by hand. i had to use auto to make it work. Thanks anyway
[04:54] <bruenig> KevinOman, or /usr/local will do /usr/local/lib and so forth
[04:54] <scythetleppo> jarjarbinks: kompozer.net
[04:55] <cld2> is it possible to get the messages that scroll buy during boot? after the kernel takes over before the login? dmesg is not showing the hardware errors I see. thanks.
[04:55] <KevinOman> ok, where do you recommend I install an app that will be used by other users of this machine?
[04:55] <xamox> what torrent client does everyone recommend?
[04:55] <bruenig> KevinOman, so long as it isn't in the home directory, it is fine, I think you are technically supposed to put it in /usr/local following the FHS
[04:56] <scythetleppo> KevinOman: deluge
[04:56] <xamox> I'm trying to use Azureus, as it has always been my client of choice, but for some reason it's bogging down and locking up
[04:56] <bruenig> filesystem hierarchy standard that is
[04:56] <scythetleppo> xamox: deluge
[04:56] <KevinOman> ok thanks bruenig
[04:56] <someone2005> any reason other then chipset not supported I would get a pci error ?
[04:56] <jarjarbinks> upgraded to fiesty fawn all repositories are breezy badger, way to change that
[04:56] <jarjarbinks> at least breezy badger list
[04:56] <Skrypt> When using git... do I have to install wine first through apt-get or is there a git install method too? or is that just building from the source and git just applies updates?
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource | jarjarbinks
[04:57] <ubotu> jarjarbinks: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[04:57] <sang-kepaRAT> f4_jar
[04:57] <fatcatmatt> are there any other sites like getdeb.org?
[04:57] <jarjarbinks> try that
[04:57] <KevinOman> scythetleppo: what does a large downpour of rain have to do with my question?
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> fatcatmatt: always better to stick to the repos
[04:58] <fatcatmatt> where at, captain jack_sparrow?  lmao
[04:58] <bruenig> KevinOman, he was responding to xamox about bittorrent client
[04:58] <cld2>
[04:58] <tim_> 'ello all
[04:58] <KevinOman> ok haha
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> fatcatmatt: USe synaptic or apt-get... especially if you are new to linux
[04:58] <fatcatmatt> fairly new, but been thru them
[04:58] <fatcatmatt> 2months of usage
[04:58] <jarjarbinks> what sources do i want?
[04:58] <bruenig> fatcatmatt, yeah if you get into getdeb stuff, you really kind of miss quite possibly the greatest thing about linux distros
[04:59] <fatcatmatt> yezzir, bruenig
[04:59] <jarjarbinks> just the first 2 ubuntu?
[04:59] <josiah> I believe I added my wireless drivers to the blacklist using this: echo "blacklist drivername.inf" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:59] <josiah> how do I remove it from the list?
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> g'night all... Play nice
[04:59] <meezyfuh> great. k3b says my lappy doesn't have a cd burner. darn.
[04:59] <bruenig> josiah, did you literally put drivername.inf?
[04:59] <cld2> josiah: vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and # comment out the line or delete it
[05:00] <cld2> josiah: also, you dont need the .inf just the module name
[05:00] <meezyfuh> is there any way to freshly install ubuntu while i'm running it?
[05:00] <meezyfuh> like, if i have an iso
[05:00] <bruenig> !debootstrap
[05:00] <ubotu> debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.
[05:00] <vader1102> meezyfuh, ummmmmmm live cd?
[05:00] <josiah> bruenig: lol no i didnt put drivername.inf
[05:00] <foug> mzuverink_: you there?
[05:00] <someone2005> one of a few upgrades needed...think repos fine though...
[05:00] <bruenig> josiah, well for the sed method or removal, we need the actual name
[05:00] <booster_> hey guys can anyone help a noob out with installing zinc ??? its a chat client to use with yahoo
[05:00] <mzuverink_> foug, kinda, whats up?
[05:00] <bruenig> of*
[05:00] <meezyfuh> vader1102: ya but i dont think i have a burner. well actually maybe i disabled it in setup, hold on
[05:01] <foug> mzuverink_: my ipod stopped working, Could not open "iTunesDB.ext" for reading extended info.
[05:01] <foug> Extended info will not be used.
[05:01] <foug> iPod Database Import Failed: 'Failed to read from file '/media/FOUG'S IPOD/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB': Input/output error'
[05:01] <foug> mzuverink_: i get that error
[05:01] <foug> sorry guys for the flood
[05:01] <mzuverink_> foug, your are going to have to redo the db in gtkpod, make the filesystem
[05:01] <josiah> bruenig:
[05:02] <foug> mzuverink_: i have no idea what that mean's
[05:02] <foug> mzuverink_: when i try to load it, that's the error i get. I can't load my ipod
[05:02] <bruenig> josiah, sed '/drivername.inf/d' -i whateverblacklist
[05:03] <josiah> bruenig: cant remember the name... i added it to the list last night and then removed it. once i removed it everything worked fine for my wireless however today (after a reboot) im not getting a wireless connection again. I thought it might have not saved when I removed it from the blacklist but it looks like its not there any longer. Any ideas?
[05:03] <mzuverink_> foug, in gtkpod, under the file menu, create ipod directories, or you could try to check them first, its the option below create
[05:04] <foug> mzuverink_: both options tell me to load it first
[05:04] <mzuverink_> foug, what happens if you load the ipod?
[05:04] <mzuverink_> foug, errors, the one you mentioned?
[05:04] <foug> mzuverink_: i get the error i pasted earlier
[05:06] <mzuverink_> foug, not sure then what to do next, never had that much trouble w/ my ipod....
[05:06] <foug> mzuverink_: figures
[05:06] <Asuka> how do I remove something I installed using wine?
[05:06] <foug> Asuka: wine installer in terminal i think
[05:07] <Asuka> what do i have to type in to do so?
[05:07] <foug> Asuka: wine installer
[05:08] <foug> Asuka: or "wine uninstaller"
[05:08] <Asuka> thx
[05:09] <LeilaSharon> Random832, anyone? I am very new to linux, my new instalation of Ubuntu freezes frequently, especially when I use editing programs.  How can I pinpoint the problem?
[05:09] <luckyone_> can you help me with my bluetooth setup?
[05:09] <matt3453> i keep getting a message that my $HOME/.dmcr file is being ignored, and that my home directory must be writable by user and nobody else... i've tried 'chmod 644 matt' but no luck, can anyone help me out?
[05:09] <josiah> I dont even see eth2 listed in ifconfig anymore
[05:09] <luckyone_> I can't seem to pair with my phone
[05:09] <Asuka> @LeilaSharon: are you running off a live distro?
[05:09] <Random832> no idea
[05:09] <meezyfuh> ok, i checked in my bios setup and my dvd drive is also a cd-rw. yet k3b is not detecting a cd-writer on my system. any ideas what could be causing this, and any idea of a solution?
[05:09] <TheMafia> If I restart, gdm will come up, if I cold boot it will not and require me to boot to recovery console, startx as the user, then soft restart again?
[05:09] <Asuka> like, are you using the live cd?
[05:09] <nickrud> matt3453: try chmod 644 ~/.dmrc
[05:09] <Asuka> or have you already installed it?
[05:10] <LeilaSharon> Asuka: no, I installed to harddrive
[05:10] <Asuka> hmmm, I don't know then. My ubuntu use to freeze up too, but once I installed it, it stopped
[05:10] <nickrud> matt3453: argh, wrong thinking ;)   sudo chmod 644 /home/matt
[05:11] <matt3453> nickrud: i tried that, still no luck
[05:11] <nickrud> matt3453: then sudo chown matt:matt /home/matt
[05:12] <matt3453> nickrud: ok, lemme try that, and log out and back in, see what happens :)
[05:12] <nickrud> matt3453: a couple more, just for luck:
[05:12] <meezyfuh> anyone what would cause my cd-rw not to be detected as a write-able device?
[05:12] <meezyfuh> anyone know*
[05:12] <nickrud> matt3453:   sudo chown matt:matt /home/matt/.dmrc       and    chmod 600 /home/matt/.dmrc
[05:13] <xamox> scythetleppo, awesome, thanks man, deluge looks pretty nice, never heard of it before
[05:13] <matt3453> nickrud: nope, no luck.... still getting this message...
[05:13] <matt3453> bah, nevermind, clipboard didnt carry over from the login screen
[05:13] <LeilaSharon> Asuka: no, it is installed on the harddrive. Thanks for trying.
[05:14] <nickrud> matt3453: you might have missed the last couple just above
 matt3453:   sudo chown matt:matt /home/matt/.dmrc       and    chmod 600 /home/matt/.dmrc
[05:14] <matt3453> thanks meezyfuh, lemme give that a wirl
[05:14] <meezyfuh> thank nickrud he said it first! :)
[05:15] <matt3453> btw, any idea what caused this?
[05:15] <nickrud> ah, meezyfuh but you realized it might not be on his screen still ;)
[05:15] <meezyfuh> ;)
[05:16] <meezyfuh> nickrud do you have any idea what would cause my cd-rw drive not be detected as being 'write able'?
[05:16] <TheMafia> so gdm will not start from runlevel 5, only run level 3?
[05:16] <meezyfuh> i just checked my bios setup and it says it's a cd-rw.
[05:16] <FreeDance> g'day guys
[05:16] <nickrud> meezyfuh: I'd look through dmesg, early on it should be recognized as something. There might be a clue there
[05:16] <Jengerer> G'night here for me.
[05:16] <Jengerer> ;)
[05:16] <nickrud> night, Jengerer
[05:16] <FreeDance> hey can anyone tell me how to gain super user permissions to install java?
[05:16] <meezyfuh> nickrud: whoa, any idea what to grep for?
[05:17] <josiah> My wireless nic wmp54gs which is on eth2 is no longer showing up in ifconfig. could someone help me out with this?
[05:17] <fatcatmatt> whats the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?
[05:17] <Jengerer> FreeDance: you mean sudo? OxO
[05:17] <arang2> guys anyone could recommend me a good webpage/blog anything where to read linux news about different things, any favorites?
[05:17] <josiah> fatcatmatt: ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses kde
[05:18] <fatcatmatt> what's the difference betweek kde and gnome then, josiah?
[05:18] <FreeDance> umm do i?
[05:18] <ambrose_> go to examples in in home
[05:18] <ambrose_> that will answer ur question
[05:18] <meezyfuh> there are a bunch of errors under sr0, like ioctl error
[05:19] <FreeDance> i just need to install java and the install instructions say to get your self some super user privileges or something like that
[05:19] <TheMafia> How can I see what is being done during boot instead of the ubuntu bar going across the screen?
[05:19] <josiah> fatcatmatt: lol. different gui's for linux.
[05:19] <fatcatmatt> ahh, what's the one that's totally menus?  ill send u a pic example josiah
[05:20] <it-linux> dear all, how to install a program which have *.run? Thanks
[05:20] <Rictoo> if I do apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to reinstall gnome, that won't like remember my home folder, right?
[05:20] <meezyfuh> how do i paste without getting booted for spamming?
[05:20] <meezyfuh> isn't there a bot or website for that
[05:20] <nickrud> meezyfuh: I take that back, the disks are being handled by hal now.
[05:20] <Rictoo> remove*
[05:20] <nickrud> !pastebin | meezyfuh
[05:20] <ubotu> meezyfuh: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:21] <josiah> fatcatmatt: if you come from windows kde is probably you best bet... would look best to you anyway. I like KDE best but have just switched to gnome
[05:21] <nickrud> arang2: linux weekly news
[05:21] <arang2> nickrud: care to provide a link if it isnt much to ask :)
[05:21] <Jengerer> it-linux: It should be sudo sh file-name.run
[05:21] <vader1102> night folks....... I am off to bed....... first night off in a while
[05:21] <arang2> vader1102: night
[05:21] <fatcatmatt> josiah: how would i add kde?
[05:21] <nickrud> arang2: lwn.net
[05:22] <meezyfuh> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37070/ <- what my dmesg shows over and over and over, etc. could this be why my cd-writer is not being detected? it can read fine, just not write.
[05:22] <rafaelscj> hi
[05:22] <josiah> fatcatmatt: its a big pain in the butt man. I would just get kubuntu if i were you. it comes with it installed and configured
[05:22] <matt3453> ok guys, still no luck
[05:22] <Jengerer> vader1102 left the room (quit: "Leaving Ububtu Rox"). Ububtu, haha. Sounds like a nickname for a Ubuntu Beta distro.
[05:22] <fatcatmatt> alrighty thanx, josiah
[05:23] <josiah> fatcatmatt: not a problem
[05:23] <rafaelscj> how do I to extract a .mdf file?
[05:23] <nickrud> arang2: linuxjournal.com , linux.com , lxer.com , kerneltrap.org
[05:23] <chief> !info mdf2iso | rafaelscj
[05:23] <ubotu> rafaelscj: mdf2iso: A simple utility to convert mdf to iso / cue / toc images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 6 kB, installed size 60 kB
[05:23] <meezyfuh> any ideas? anyone?
[05:23] <ckin2001> josiah, isnt it just sudo apt-get install kde?
[05:23] <meezyfuh> i *really* need to burn a cd.
[05:23] <Kasuko> Hello, I am trying to use Audacity to capture what would be played on my speakers to a file. But when I do I seem to be recording from a mic, I can even hear my self ... big issue I dont have a mic.
[05:23] <arang2> nickrud: thanks, anything more flashy web 2.0 alike  ?
[05:24] <nickrud> arang2: they tend to avoid that stuff, too frilly :)
[05:24] <rafaelscj> chief, I don't want to burn, just extract, can I?
[05:24] <nickrud> meezyfuh: you have a plexor?
[05:24] <nickrud> *plextor
[05:24] <josiah> ckin2001: I dont know if ubuntu will do that. Never tried to run both gnome and kde on ubuntu
[05:24] <meezyfuh> nickrud: no it's a toshiba, comes with my dell lappy. and bios says its dvd-rom cdrw
[05:24] <it-linux> thanks jengerer
[05:24] <Jengerer> Kasuko: You sure you don't have a built in mic somewhere?
[05:24] <matt3453> ok so i'm still getting a message that my $HOME/.dmcr file is being ignored, and something about my home directory should be 644, which it is
[05:24] <chief> rafaelscj: not natively, use mdf2iso to convert the MDF to an ISO file, then you can extract/mount it
[05:24] <ckin2001> josiah, its easy - you can pick your session before you log in
[05:24] <Jengerer> it-linux: NP
[05:25] <matt3453> i'm not sure whats going on
[05:25] <cesarandreu> hi
[05:25] <Radon> hi all
[05:25] <arang2> nickrud: oh well, c'est la vie
[05:25] <rafaelscj> chief, okay, so, how do I to mount a ISO file?
[05:25] <cesarandreu> ok, dumb question... I can't find how it works though... How would I enable emerald?
[05:25] <chief> !iso | rafaelscj
[05:25] <ubotu> rafaelscj: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[05:25] <josiah> ckin2001: and ubuntu lets you install kde? just by using apt-get?
[05:26] <ckin2001> josiah, yes
[05:26] <rafaelscj> chief, thanks
[05:26] <nickrud> arang2: there's also planet.ubuntu.com planet.gnome.org and planet.debian.org rss feeds; makes good reading
[05:26] <FreeDance> hey has anyone here used a JDK?
[05:26] <chief> arang2: fsdaily.com is like Digg but for Linux/FOSS news only
[05:26] <josiah> ckin2001: thats cool
[05:27] <TheMafia> How ironic is this, I turned off splash and quiet to try to see what was causing my machine to lock up, and after doing so it never locks up anymore
[05:27] <ckin2001> josiah, you can do the same thing with any window manager :D
[05:27] <arang2> nickrud: i was wondering something like engadget for linux , (hope thats meaningful)
[05:27] <Jengerer> How would I tell my GRUB to point to a Kernel that I recompiled as a BZImage?
[05:27] <LeilaSharon> I am new to linux. I need this box for programming in c++, but emacs, nedit, gedit all freeze my system. Can anyone point me to a good source for help?
[05:27] <LadyNikon> LeilaSharon: vi?
[05:28] <riotkittie> editors freeze your system?
[05:28] <josiah> ckin2001: well i knew that about any other distro but i didnt think ubuntu would allow it unless you added repos
[05:28] <LeilaSharon> riotkittie: yes, it seems strange to me to.
[05:28] <meezyfuh> please! someone help me find out why my cdrw is not being recognized as an optical writing device!
[05:29] <kRush> anyone got an idea why ntpd fails to bind to ppp0 on boot? works fine if restartet manually once logged in =/
[05:30] <nickrud> arang2: linuxdevices.com , http://linuxhardware.org/ , http://tuxmobil.org/ http://www.linuxtoys.net/ http://www.linuxtoys.org/ http://www.linuxtoys.com/
[05:30] <meezyfuh> i give up.
[05:31] <LeilaSharon> LadyNikon: I haven't tried vi yet, but I would hope to figure out why emacs, nedit, and gedit freeze the system.
[05:31] <riotkittie> argh. i am so peeved. i bought a new usb adapter because it uses a chipset that is supposed to be awesome and work out of the box. with wpa even.
[05:31] <nickrud> meezyfuh: I put that into google (part of it and ran across a lot of ubuntu bugs , so far none seem resolved: I googledCDROM (ioctl) error, command: <6>Test Unit Ready
[05:31] <LadyNikon> LeilaSharon: sorry wish i knew.
[05:31] <LeilaSharon> emacs freezes everytime, almost immediately
[05:31] <LadyNikon> LeilaSharon: does it freeze the app? or the entire system?
[05:31] <riotkittie> now i'm just going to buy some dynamite and blow it up :|
[05:32] <Frogzoo> riotkittie: they changed the chipset?
[05:32] <LeilaSharon> It freezes the entire system.
[05:32] <riotkittie> Frogzoo: no, its the right chipset :P  i researched my revisions
[05:32] <josiah> So anybody have experience with a Broadcom BCM4318 chipset wireless nic?
[05:32] <riotkittie> ralink <3  but its not working.
[05:32] <someone2005> of supported chipsets ?
[05:32] <Frogzoo> josiah: all the broadcom stuff seems hugely troublesome
[05:32] <Asuka> sorry, what do I do to uninstall a program in wine?
[05:33] <Asuka> wine uninstall?
[05:33] <Kr00lplatinum> When will the game companies create games that work for linux?!
[05:33] <Frogzoo> Asuka: run the uninst
[05:33] <josiah> Frogzoo: it is lol
[05:33] <riotkittie> the game companies will create games that work for linux when linux gamers give them reason to.
[05:33] <ckin2001> Kr00lplatinum, they do
[05:33] <maxd> #compiz-fusion
[05:33] <someone2005> Thought they created them already...
[05:33] <Asuka> its says module not found
[05:33] <jstarcher> if I can run the live cd on a computer, does it guarantee that ubuntu will work with that computer?
[05:33] <Frogzoo> riotkittie: you mean like quake?
[05:34] <Asuka> i typed 'wine uninstall
[05:34] <riotkittie> jstarcher: pretty much, though you may need to tweak things
[05:34] <Kr00lplatinum> not anything good like BF2 or Company of Heroes
[05:34] <LeilaSharon> I cannot use my computer for text editing, but internet chat seems totally reliable!
[05:34] <riotkittie> Frogzoo: no, not like Quake.
[05:34] <wweasel> Hello: I'd like to configure two mice separately in xorg.conf - Is it ok to simply refer to them as /dev/mouse1 and /dev/mouse2, or is this dynamic and subject to change? Furthermore, how will the system react if one is unplugged?
[05:34] <HeatHawk[LI] > Anyone know how to setup wpa_supplicant for wep?
[05:35] <someone2005> like ps3 ?
[05:35] <Asuka> what do i type in order to uninstall something in wine?
[05:35] <Asuka> wine uninstall?
[05:35] <HeatHawk[LI] > Do i just make another network entry in the config and use wep instead of wpa
[05:35] <riotkittie> the best way to get them to start making a wider range of games for linux is to stop buying games for windows :x
[05:36] <riotkittie> if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go douse my latest USB wifi adapter in gasoline and alcohol and set it aflame.  or maybe i'll go google.
[05:37] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, you try ndiswrapper?
[05:37] <kRush> anyone got an idea why ntpd fails to bind to ppp0 on boot? works fine if restartet manually once logged in =/
[05:37] <Ta1> I'm having a sharing problem.. I've been able to share all my partitions across the LAN except 1.. it is a single partition covering an entire drive.  When I try to view it from another computer, it says it can't find it, maybe it has been recently deleted.
[05:38] <riotkittie> HeatHawk[LI] : no, i havent tried ndiswrapper. when i want to use Windows drivers, i'll boot into XP :P
[05:38] <Frogzoo> kRush: I'd guess cos pppd's not up when you're starting it
[05:39] <riotkittie> ho hum. i sense compiling in my near future
[05:39] <Kasuko> Hello, I am trying to use Audacity to capture what would be played on my speakers to a file. But when I do I seem to be recording from a mic, I can even hear my self ... big issue I dont have a mic. I'm using a laptop so their may be a hidden one on my mobo but not to my knowledge. Can anyone help me get just the sound?
[05:39] <LeilaSharon> How are your experiences with Feisty Fawn- do you find that it is stable?
[05:39] <nickrud> Kasuko: now there is a scary thought, hidden mic's on the motherboard
[05:39] <LadyNikon> heh
[05:39] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, still new to linux eh? sometimes one needs to make compromises to use their favourite os :P
[05:40] <LadyNikon> must be a sony mobo <snicker>
[05:40] <Frogzoo> LeilaSharon: desktop's not quite totally rock solid but pretty good
[05:40] <kRush> Frogzoo, that my guess too, but I'm literally lost in all the init scripts and networking stuff...
[05:40] <FreeDance> hey does anyone know how to get started in making java games?
[05:40] <nickrud> :):):)
[05:40] <kRush> got an idea how to fix properly?
[05:40] <HeatHawk[LI] > FreeDance, buy a java programming book
[05:40] <riotkittie> HeatHawk[LI] : the fact that i have no urge to use ndiswrapper does not make me one who is new to linux. it makes me somebody who has no desire to use windows drivers under another OS, as i find it utterly ridiculous to have to do so
[05:40] <fatcatmatt> alrighty josiah, im burning and installing kubuntu
[05:40] <FreeDance> lol
[05:41] <FreeDance> what about a program?
[05:41] <Kasuko> yes scary but I dont care about that ... big brother's watching... but I just want my not crappy recording
[05:41] <LadyNikon> riotkittie: blame the company who created the hardware.
[05:41] <HeatHawk[LI] > FreeDance, I'd bet its the same book. :p
[05:41] <riotkittie> and no, i'm not new to linux. i've been using it since 2003, and i started with slackware. so pffft.
[05:41] <LeilaSharon> FrogZoo: I am wondering if my freez-ups could be fixed by installing an older distro.  This is my first linux system- two days old
[05:41] <Chuck_Moto> does anyone remember how to ssh into another server from within vim?
[05:41] <FreeDance> can i get a program off the net?
[05:41] <Ta1> Anybody good with sharing problems?
[05:42] <Chuck_Moto> I would check, but I'm stuck in cli right now :X
[05:42] <riotkittie> LadyNikon: no need to blame them.  they've got a linux driver. and it's a linux friendly chipset :P
[05:42] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, haha, thats very, um, non impressive, at any rate, I wouldn't push ndiswrapper out the window, its much less absurd then you might think
[05:42] <LadyNikon> riotkittie: whey are you using ndiswrapper?
[05:42] <Sau1> hi there
[05:42] <LadyNikon> or did I miss something
[05:43] <LadyNikon> hi Sau1
[05:43] <Sau1> i have a question
[05:43] <Sau1> ...obviously :p
[05:43] <LadyNikon> someone has an answer
[05:43] <Sau1> thanks in advance! here it goes
[05:43] <nickrud> kRush: there should be something in /etc/network/ifup-d for ntpd ;
[05:43] <teKnofreak> but for the answer, the question needs to be asked :P
[05:43] <HeatHawk[LI] > FreeDance, The thing about Java, much like other languages, wether its games or apps, its still java. You need to learn java before attempting a project. Perhaps even some web tutorials will put you in the right direction
[05:44] <shifty-> is there a package for openbox and how do i add it as a session?
[05:44] <Sau1> well i have constant system hangups. when i check dmesg it says that my cdrom (hdb) is "not ready for command" . after some seconds, perhaps 10 or 15 it just slows down until death
[05:44] <Sau1> sorry for my english i am not native speaker
[05:44] <FreeDance> ok cool thanks but....this may sound stupid but where do you type the script?
[05:44] <riotkittie> HeatHawk[LI] : it wasnt about impressing you, it was about replying to your statement that i must be new to linux b/c i had no urge to take your suggestion. and i never said that ndiswrapper was absurd, i said *i* didnt care to use it.
[05:45] <Kasuko> How can I record what should play on my speakers to a file?
[05:45] <nickrud> shifty-: sudo aptitude install openbox ; it will appear in the sessions automatically
[05:45] <Marfi> hey hey, what is a good diagnostic program for recovering formated data from a hard drive? =)
[05:45] <Sau1> how can i tell if its a bug or a bad cdrom drive
[05:45] <Sau1> someone?
[05:45] <teKnofreak> Sau1, put another CD ROM and check
[05:45] <FreeDance> me?
[05:46] <Sau1> ok you mean changin the cdrom device
[05:46] <teKnofreak> yes
[05:46] <FreeDance> kk
[05:46] <modor> Hello,  I'm looking to duplicate a setup I had in XP, capturing internet radio station to a memory stick
[05:46] <Sau1> ok
[05:46] <seyfarth> i need some major help installing ubuntu, i can't even get the live cd to boot. after it starts loading, x window crashes. the cd worked fine on my desktop at hoem, but i just got to college and this is a problem all the laptops are having. the guys at the school support desk wanted me to change a Horizsync and vertrefresh value in 'xorg.conf' but i'm not exactly sure how to do that... can anyone help me?
[05:46] <FreeDance> wheres that?
[05:46] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, well, good luck sticking to gnu
[05:47] <Sau1> well actually i think it is the cdrom drive because i used to have another... the guys at the service changed it perhaps
[05:47] <teKnofreak> Sau1, if it still tells the same error, then something is wrong, else time to change your CDROM
[05:47] <nickrud> !fixres | seyfarth link at the end tells you how to change the syncs
[05:47] <ubotu> seyfarth link at the end tells you how to change the syncs: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:47] <Ta1> I am trying to change the permissions of an entire hard disk... when I attempt to change it, even as root it just changes right back.. any ideas?
[05:47] <seyfarth> nuckrud: thank you so much!
[05:47] <Sau1> tknofreak you may be correct. with my old cdrom i didnt had those messages
[05:47] <chief> !info streamripper | modor
[05:47] <ubotu> modor: streamripper: download online streams into audio files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.61.27-1 (feisty), package size 69 kB, installed size 188 kB
[05:47] <nickrud> Ta1: you can only change permissions on a partition, not a drive
[05:48] <Sau1> so , how should i tell to the guys at the service that the "new" cdrom drive they put just messed my system
[05:48] <Sau1> ... maybe i should just tell them what i have said :p
[05:48] <teKnofreak> Sau1, first make sure its *the CDROM*
[05:49] <teKnofreak> Sau1, of course
[05:49] <Sau1> YEAH!! it is im almost shure
[05:49] <modor> ubotu, thank you, can these streams be designated to capture to memory card as an mp3 file?
[05:49] <Sau1> another thing
[05:49] <Sau1> sometimes when i get the error, it appears the "audio cd" icon in the desktop
[05:49] <chief> modor: ubotu's a bot ;-), and yes, I would imagine so
[05:49] <teKnofreak> modor, ubotu's knowledge is vast but yet limited, do not ask him questions
[05:49] <Sau1> despite the fact i dont have any cd on the drive
[05:49] <Ta1> nickrud: any idea why the permissions on one drive would be any different than another?  I formatted both drives with the same user, but one of the drives is only accessable to THAT specific user.  Any other user including root can't access it.. i'm trying to share it on the network and it won't let me because the permissions are drwx------
[05:50] <nickrud> Ta1: what kind of partition is it?
[05:50] <logreeval> Hi, i am having some problems with IEs4linux and ActiveX controls, does anyone know about ies4linux?
[05:50] <Ta1> nickrud: fat32
[05:50] <teKnofreak> logreeval, tell your problem
[05:50] <nickrud> Ta1: ah. you can't write permissions to a fat32, you have to mount them with the permissions you want.
[05:50] <teKnofreak> if someone knows, they will answer
[05:51] <logreeval> Well it says my security prohibits active x controls, but i have it to allow everything
[05:51] <nickrud> Ta1: one sec
[05:51] <Sau1> so what do you think
[05:51] <teKnofreak> logreeval, check the permissions, there will be a check box or something to allow or undeny activex
[05:51] <teKnofreak> Sau1, boot into a live CD and check it
[05:51] <matt3453> for some reason, i cannot play mp3's, i've installed the 'ubuntu restricted codecs' package, and the 'win32codecs' package.... still nothing
[05:51] <modor> sorry, i have a little lag, so getting this in bunches
[05:52] <teKnofreak> matt3453, using Feisty ?
[05:52] <matt3453> 7.04
[05:52] <Sau1> so, if the live cd acts as usual it is not the cdrom problem
[05:52] <LeilaSharon> Anyone know how to use a text editor in CLI mode enstead of GUI?
[05:52] <logreeval> teKnofreak: i have everything set to allow the activex
[05:52] <fujin_> LeilaSharon, 'vi'
[05:52] <teKnofreak> matt3453, when you try to open it in rythmbox, doesn't it ask you to automatically download some codecs ?
[05:52] <nickrud> Ta1: /dev/hda7 /vfat vfat defaults,utf8,umask=000,gid=46 0 1 <- put a line similar to this in your /etc/fstab , with the dev corrected for yours. Then everyone can read it
[05:53] <LeilaSharon> fujin, did you find 'vi' works better with Ubuntu?
[05:53] <fujin_> uh
[05:53] <Sau1> but something strange happened las time i tried to boot. i checked the bios, and guess what, it did not detect the cdrom!!!
[05:53] <matt3453> teKnofreak: it was opening with movieplayer by default, lemme try :)
[05:53] <fujin_> vi is The Only Editor
[05:53] <teKnofreak> matt3453, AFAIK you need not manually d/l it, when you try to open it in the player, it is automatically done for you
[05:53] <Sau1> whta do you think!
[05:53] <teKnofreak> Sau1, time to get some hardware support ;)
[05:53] <nickrud> Ta1: the reason for this is vfat32 does not have a permission system in the first place
[05:54] <Sau1> ok so its justified calling the acer guys
[05:54] <teKnofreak> Sau1, when you have a problem don't think twice to call them, thats what for they exist
[05:54] <matt3453> teKnofreak: ok, looks like its working in rythmbox, why not my other playres?
[05:54] <matt3453> players
[05:55] <teKnofreak> matt3453, probably should
[05:55] <Sau1> hahaha thats right but i hate being laptop-less a week :P
[05:55] <josiah> well i guess im just going to have to get damned suse
[05:55] <cdm10> Are there any GUI DjVu generators?
[05:55] <Sau1> ah i forgot to tell you, but i live in Mexico, here we have SLOOOOOOOW service
[05:55] <teKnofreak> matt3453, other players as in - amarok, banshee ?
[05:55] <matt3453> i prefer VLC usually since its small
[05:56] <teKnofreak> matt3453, try it in banshee for once
[05:56] <Ta1> nickrud: thanks
[05:56] <brownie17> hi #ubuntu, when i try to launch a rom through KAMEFU, it tells me it couldn't communicate with klauncher and i can't navigate it to the rom file. also there's no way to direct it to the rom file via the CLI
[05:56] <matt3453> teKnofreak: its not installed, but i'll give it a shot
[05:56] <teKnofreak> matt3453, sure :)
[05:56] <Sau1> thanks guys
[05:56] <teKnofreak> Sau1, welcome :)
[05:56] <chief> cdm10: doesn't Evince open djvu files?
[05:57] <LeilaSharon> nidcrud, do you know about text editors? I am trying to figure out why emacs and nedit cause my system to freeze.   Emacs freezes it every time.
[05:57] <matt3453> ok, next item - no sound in flash in firefox
[05:58] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: nothing about why it would be freezing the system, except that maybe it's using it's usual amount of memory ;)
[05:58] <Sau1> im going out , thanks for all guys!
[05:58] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: I'd look for the common packages between all of the editors ; it's probably in one that they all use

[06:00] <FFighter> :(
[06:00] <FFighter> I can't feel the freedom
[06:01] <echo_> I can't feel freedom on ubuntu
[06:01] <arsonx> FFighter: gimp + vim
[06:01] <disinterested> i used to feel it
[06:01] <nickrud> matt3453: you cound try installing alsa-oss and running firefox from a terminal :  aoss firefox  , see if you get sound that way
[06:01] <Keenan3274> feel the freedom? is that microsoft's trademark little cutesy line that they use?
[06:02] <echo_> Is there a guru here who can help me?
[06:03] <Netslayer> I did an upgrade and my 2.6.20 kernel is not finding any disks using the dev mapper uuids! How can I fix that? ie grub has root=UUID=... and that matches I checked. It loads the kernel and goes Waiting for root file system, times out saying it can't find it
[06:03] <FFighter> arsonx: It isn't that simple really. But I guess I will just run XP through VMWare
[06:03] <FFighter> Anyone here using Vista ?
[06:03] <FFighter> LOL
[06:03] <FFighter> ^^
[06:03] <nickrud> FFighter: yes, with vmware
[06:03] <fishtank> i'm using vista?
[06:04] <echo_> I am in need of some help.   I tryed manualy installing the ov51x-jpeg driver on my system.  But it just shows up as a cut off green picture.  But aMSN seems to be alright with the webcam, but things like kopete won't work with it.  I have tryed the webcam on other machines with ubuntu and it worked.  I am stomped.  Please help me. :D
[06:04] <nickrud> Netslayer: try changing all those uuid's to the actual /dev devices to get the boot back
[06:05] <nickrud> FFighter: different software, same reason ;)
[06:05] <Keenan3274> vista..i've heard it requires a gig of ram? could that be right?
[06:05] <nickrud> at least
[06:05] <Keenan3274> geez....what does vista do with a gig of ram? come out of the screen and rub your back for you?
[06:05] <Netslayer> nickrud: i know when the livecd boots it shows sdc3.. tried it but it wont work. i'll try again (cycle through all my drives i guess)
[06:06] <JT-BMG-ATS-17750> greetings !!!
[06:06] <nickrud> Netslayer: do    sudo fdisk -l to get the actual physical devices
[06:07] <Netslayer> i can only do that when in the live cd, before it showed /dev/sdc3 as my root partition
[06:07] <Netslayer> right now my line reads: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=/dev/sdc3
[06:07] <matt3453> nickrud: no luck on the 'aoss firefox' command
[06:07] <matt3453> any other ideas?
[06:07] <nickrud> Netslayer: with fdisk? look at the partition itself, it should have /boot on it
[06:07] <nickrud> matt3453: nope
[06:07] <matt3453> ok, back to the intranetweb :)
[06:08] <echo_> I am in need of some help.   I tryed manualy installing the ov51x-jpeg driver on my system.  But it just shows up as a cut off green picture.

[06:08] <JT-BMG-ATS-17750> Is there a utility for linux that can do "shortcut keys" that can replace a key sequence with text ?  I am a tech support rep, and want to auto fill in questions on a ticket
[06:08] <LeilaSharon> nickrud, thanks, that sound like a potential lead. My other thought is that it is a memory issue.  Any tips on diagnosing - I am a linux newbie.  My very experience with linux is command line only.
[06:09] <payne> hola
[06:09] <Lord_Shadow> que paso?!
[06:09] <payne> k hay
[06:09] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: you could run the memtest on the bootup screen to test the memory. The other, well, it's not something I'd want to do, even though I suggested it

[06:14] <tho1> anybody know how to install invidia drivers in feisty?
[06:14] <chief> !nvidia | tho1
[06:14] <ubotu> tho1: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:15] <LeilaSharon> nickrud, thanks for the responses.  I do you know how I can open a text editor in CLI /non-GUI mode?  This might help me figure-out if the problem is just with the gui interface.
[06:15] <payne> kiero una serveza!!!
[06:15] <matthew_> hi guys, how do I search for a file in Ubuntu?
[06:15] <tho1> thanks
[06:15] <overclucker> LeilaSharon, nano
[06:15] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: emacs -nw
[06:15] <tho1> is there any way to copy from Gnome and paste to the console?
[06:15] <matthew_> there's a search manager, but it doesn't look into individual directories
[06:16] <overclucker> tho1, ctrl-shift-c
[06:16] <Grungebunny> tho1 yeah its called ctrl c
[06:16] <overclucker> tho1, ctrl-shift-v
[06:16] <payne> alguien conoce un softaware k se llama
[06:16] <nickrud> tho1: gpm provides paste between consoles, but I don't remember if it works between gui & console
[06:16] <payne> bueno termina en tronix2
[06:16] <overclucker> tho1, ctrl-shift-v pastes to console
[06:16] <LeilaSharon> thanks nickrud, I will try it now.
[06:17] <Netslayer> nickrud: finally back in livecd, fdisk -l shows /dev/sdc1 is /boot /dev/sdc2 is swap /dev/sdc3 is root
[06:18] <overclucker> Netslayer, why swap before root?
[06:18] <Netslayer> ** shrugs
[06:18] <Netslayer> it's a gb or so what diff
[06:18] <LeilaSharon> overclucker: Thanks, I will try nano next.
[06:18] <Grungebunny> funky question time.. I see alot of screenshots online and I notice a red diamond looking icon.. in many.. what is it?
[06:18] <chief> Grungebunny: Beryl
[06:19] <Netslayer> my kernel is failing to find my uuid root drive.. it's not even booting with root=/dev/sdc3
[06:19] <Grungebunny> ahh
[06:19] <nickrud> Netslayer: I've never used a separate boot partition with grub, I'm not sure if the root it's talking about is the boot or actual root
[06:19] <chief> Grungebunny: technically, it's the Beryl settings manager
[06:19] <brownie17> can anyone recommend a nintendo 64 emulator?
[06:19] <qman2> I'm having trouble booting after a fresh install of ubuntu server on an older machine; as soon as grub loads the kernel, the machine reboots
[06:19] <scythetleppo> I'm trying to setup ubuntu+windows xp and having trouble, I'm following the directions on help.ubuntu.com and I am getting error 17: cannot mount selected partition
[06:19] <tho1> overclucker: that does not work
[06:19] <qman2> I tried adding the options apm=off and noapic, but it still won't boot
[06:19] <craigbass1976> qman2, You must have a virus
[06:20] <craigbass1976> This just happened on a windows box I'm reformatting
[06:20] <chief> brownie17: Mupen64
[06:20] <craigbass1976> har har
[06:20] <brownie17> chief, thanks
[06:20] <brownie17> chief, is ti gnome?
[06:20] <payne> bai
[06:20] <chief> brownie17: this might help: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/09/05/what-do-you-do-when-your-girlfriend-wants-to-play-n64-games-on-linux/
[06:20] <tho1> I am trying to copy from firefox and paste to the console
[06:20] <matthew_> qman2: what's the last thing dmesg reports?
[06:20] <qman2> it doesn't report anything
[06:21] <qman2> it says "Starting up..." then reboots
[06:21] <disinterested> i got a new ide hd today but i find it in bios but not in ubuntu
[06:21] <Exospaciac> Has anyone else had any problems with Firefox being almost completely unresponsive? For a while,  Firefox worked but now it is unusable; I did nothing different to  make it do this, that I know of.
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: throw a livecd in, mount the drive, and look at /var/log
[06:21] <qman2> even after removing quiet splash
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: messages in particular
[06:21] <brownie17> chief, hahah
[06:21] <overclucker> tho1, it should work
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: you have to look at the system logs, not the messages on the screen. those are garbage
[06:21] <qman2> ok
[06:21] <scythetleppo> how do I set up grub to see ubuntu on disk 1, partition 1; and windows xp on disk 2, partition 2 ?
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: also, check for bad memory
[06:21] <craigbass1976> qman2, You may end up having to boot to a livecd to diagnose
[06:22] <matthew_> craigbass1976, the system doesn't boot otherwise, he's got no option
[06:22] <craigbass1976> scythetleppo, grub does 0 instead of 1 for first partition
[06:22] <qman2> memory's good, it passes the test and I was running freebsd on it previously
[06:22] <qman2> unless something happened to it recently
[06:22] <craigbass1976> I hadn't heard it mentioned yet
[06:22] <fatcatmatt> so i have kubuntu installed...how do i get the nvidia go7600 restricted driver installed?
[06:22] <matthew_> qman2: I see. then in that case check the logs.
[06:22] <qman2> ok
[06:22] <scythetleppo> craigbass1976: whoops I was doing 0,1 instead of 0,0 ~ thanks
[06:23] <chief> !nvidia | fatcatmatt
[06:23] <ubotu> fatcatmatt: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:23] <matthew_> qman2: let it fail once and then livecd it, mount and logs
[06:23] <tho1> overclucker: ctrl+c in firefox then ctrl+shift+v
[06:23] <craigbass1976> scythetleppo, nice when it's something simple, yes?
[06:24] <tho1> overclucker: that's a no go
[06:24] <nickrud> scythetleppo: and for your windows on the second disk, you'll need to do something like this http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/map.html
[06:24] <rathel> tho1, Try shift+ insert, it works for me.
[06:24] <qman2> I keep gentoo discs around for just this type of occasion
[06:24] <qman2> PITA to install, but the live CDs are nice and thin
[06:25] <tho1> why do you guys keep calling me "thol"?
[06:25] <scythetleppo> ok now it boots to ubuntu but doesn't stop and ask me to choose either
[06:25] <faileas> nalol
[06:25] <faileas> lol
[06:25] <faileas> it simply means people here are not lazy enough to tab complete tho1
[06:25] <mattgyver83> Does anyone use pcsx2?
[06:27] <Netslaye1> and why does the error say Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmd line or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls dev        << there are no such proc devices...
[06:27] <qman2> all the logs are empty
[06:27] <brownie17> chief, got it running, but it looks crappy with the rom i'm trying. it's conker's bad fur day
[06:27] <scythetleppo> nickrud: so I should do map (hd0) (hd1) and the other way around? I don't really see what that does
[06:27] <qman2> nothing in messages or syslog, dmesg has one line "(nothing has been logged yet.)
[06:27] <matthew_> qman2: even kern?
[06:27] <qman2> "
[06:27] <nickrud> scythetleppo: it fools windows into thinking it's booting from the first disk.
[06:27] <qman2> where's that
[06:27] <qman2> nevermind
[06:27] <scythetleppo> nickrud: that will make grub see it?
[06:27] <chief> brownie17: reading that article, it seems that running Windows N64 emulators in wine actually gets better framerates
[06:27] <qman2> also empty
[06:28] <FFighter> anyone have experience running Photoshop CS on Windows XP from VWare on Ubuntu ?
[06:28] <FFighter> Photoshop CS2 I mean
[06:28] <nickrud> scythetleppo: but you still have to use hd1,<whateverpartition>
[06:28] <chief> brownie17: for some people, at least
[06:28] <matthew_> qman2: hmm... the sudden reboot might prevent the system from properly writing the files...
[06:28] <tho1> i c
[06:28] <scythetleppo> nickrud: I don't follow
[06:28] <matthew_> qman2: or you're hitting problems at grub
[06:28] <qman2> I was hoping it was a simple problem with boot options, it's pretty old hardware
[06:29] <qman2> but it looks like it might be a hardware problem
[06:29] <nickrud> scythetleppo: I know, it's weird ;)  Put your menu.lst on a pastebin, I'll point it out
[06:29] <scythetleppo> nickrud: I did the map and map.. ok will do
[06:29] <bleach46290> Is there a way to use Real Player on Ubuntu, or is there an acceptable alternative?
[06:29] <matthew_> qman2: I thought you said it runs the live CDs fine
[06:29] <qman2> it does
[06:29] <mattgyver83> chief, what n64 emulator are you using?
[06:29] <chief> mattgyver83: i'm not
[06:29] <qman2> I installed from CD without a hitch, and was running freeBSD previously, the gentoo disc also runs fine
[06:29] <qman2> I can't run a GUI, not enough hardware
[06:30] <chief> !reaplayey | bleach46290
[06:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reaplayey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:30] <chief> !realplayer | bleach46290
[06:30] <ubotu> bleach46290: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[06:30] <matthew_> qman2: there's not that much difference between a liveCD and a boot version kernel wise
[06:30] <tho1> what does it mean when it says "ur hardware does not need restricted drivers"
[06:30] <matthew_> qman2: so freeBSD still works?
[06:30] <qman2> well, it did, I had a software issue with it when I swapped NICs
[06:30] <nickrud> bleach46290: you can add     deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main   to your sources.list and apt-get install realplay
[06:30] <qman2> so I decided to reformat with ubuntu
[06:31] <rock22> can i perform a usual partitioning with raiser and swap into a pendrive and install ubuntu and use lilo too?
[06:31] <matthew_> qman2: I see... how old is this system exactly?
[06:31] <nickrud> tho1: it means you have a card that the open source drivers provide 3d acceleration
[06:31] <qman2> about 10 years
[06:31] <matthew_> qman2: there's always the possibility it's not supported in 2.6
[06:31] <matthew_> qman2: although that's pretty slim... well 10 years is quite a while
[06:31] <qman2> could be, does it require i686 extensions?
[06:32] <tho1> nickrud: I have a geforce 7600
[06:32] <qman2> because this is only i586
[06:32] <matthew_> qman2: i686..? I thought you said it was 10 years old
[06:32] <nickrud> tho1: I don't know the cards, just the reason it says that ;)
[06:32] <tho1> nickrud: icannot adjust my screen resolution
[06:32] <matthew_> qman2: but actually, since it runs liveCD.. it shouldn't be a kernel issue
[06:32] <qman2> yes, it's an AMD K6 processor
[06:32] <qman2> yeah, I've had gentoo on it with a 2.6 kernel before, but that was a while ago
[06:32] <nickrud> !fixres | tho1: that's a monitor problem, look at the last link:
[06:32] <ubotu> tho1: that's a monitor problem, look at the last link:: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:32] <matthew_> qman2: you've checked the bootloader?
[06:33] <scythetleppo> nickrud: http://rafb.net/p/7ofO8p67.html
[06:33] <qman2> framebuffers and X don't work too well on it because of the video card
[06:33] <matthew_> qman2: but those come way later in the boot sequence
[06:33] <qman2> grub seems to be alright, I modified the boot line
[06:33] <matthew_> qman2: you're not even getting a kernel to load
[06:33] <qman2> right
[06:33] <Ravenndude`> Why can't I choose the font Monospace in Openoffice, but I can in Gedit and in terminal?
[06:33] <tho1> ubotu: thanks
[06:33] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[06:33] <qman2> the disk mounts alright too, I'm looking at the whole filesystem right now
[06:33] <scythetleppo> !thanks
[06:33] <tho1> cool
[06:34] <matthew_> qman2: perhaps your ubuntu cd is just corrupted? did you check the md5?
[06:34] <WONToN> good job ubotu!
[06:34] <qman2> no, I just burned it though, I can check it
[06:34] <matthew_> qman2: I guess we should check everything just in case
[06:34] <scythetleppo> nickrud: http://rafb.net/p/7ofO8p67.html
[06:34] <matthew_> qman2: there's always the possibility of data corruption... although that's pretty rare
[06:35] <rock22> i saw into the pendrivelinux site that ubuntu can be installed, but some hardwire is required... can i do a clean installation?
[06:35] <matthew_> qman2: so you said you're using the ubuntu-alt install since it can't do gui?
[06:36] <qman2> ubuntu server, actually
[06:36] <napox> anyone can please help me with VirtualBox problem ? i wrote the problem here -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=548155
[06:36] <matthew_> qman2: I see... hmm well that shouldn't be a problem
[06:36] <tarelerulz> I just got 500gb  and I want to set other computer as computer I can control via vnc or ssh .  with out gnome  starting up or remote login
[06:36] <nickrud> scythetleppo: http://rafb.net/p/zL8GBh39.txt  add this stanza _after_ the END OF DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC line, edit to match your partition
[06:38] <tarelerulz> do any of you know a good  how-to telling you how to do that

[06:39] <qman2> well, the md5sum doesn't quite add up
[06:39] <nickrud> minerale: there's a checkbox and a space for the login name under System->Administration->Login Window security tab
[06:39] <Rubin> minerale, edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf with your fav text editor, as root. theres comments in there with instructions. its not secure.
[06:39] <nickrud> scythetleppo: disk 2, partition 2 is hd1,1
[06:39] <scythetleppo> right. ok so now it's in there, what now? just reboot?
[06:39] <nickrud> yup. And hope ;0

[06:42] <easye> thank you much

[06:42] <qman2> I'll burn it again I suppose
[06:43] <qman2> thanks for your help
[06:43] <LeilaSharon> nicrud: emacs is not crashing in without the GUI.  I am trying to look into memory as the issue. In the system manager I see that User memory is now at 40% of maximum.  Is there a way to prevent ubuntu from exceeding this?  Does it make sense that nedit and emacs would overload my RAM when other applications don' t?
[06:43] <qman2> I'll be back if it still doesn't work :)
[06:43] <nickrud> qman2: a sec.
[06:43] <nickrud> qman2: the disk itself has a self test, and I have this feeling that I was told that it doesn't come out the same, so ...
[06:44] <scythetleppo> nickrud: ah ok well it works if I press esc i can choose windows. but how can I have a splash screen that comes up, and lets me pick automatically with no esc, and has a default value?

[06:46] <scythetleppo> nickrud: ok I figured out the right partition so ignore that part about windows not working
[06:46] <overclucker> scythetleppo, i believe you just remove the countdown option from /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:46] <LeilaSharon> nickrud: look pretty good from my perspective :) thanks anyway.
[06:46] <rock22> i suppose nobody have issued this tiil now...?
[06:46] <scythetleppo> overclucker: ok so that will make a splash screen and a list of the options?
[06:46] <zippyy> bruenig, you still around ?
[06:47] <Thurin1> Is anyone good at reading Xorg Dumps?
[06:47] <overclucker> scythetleppo, for a spash image, add somthing like this to the front of menu.lst splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/NightOfUbuntu.xpm.gz
[06:48] <MasonUS> I need some help configuring grub.
[06:48] <scythetleppo> overclucker: removing the timer doesn't just make it automatically go to ubuntu?
[06:48] <nickrud> scythetleppo: look towards the top of the menu.lst, is hiddenmenu uncommented ? (no # at the beginning)
[06:48] <overclucker> scythetleppo, and it's not countdown its timeout
[06:48] <MasonUS> I have Ubuntu installed on an external harddrive that I can boot from when I start my computer with it attached.
[06:48] <MasonUS> but when I detach it and restart it has an error
[06:48] <overclucker> scythetleppo, i'm not sure
[06:48] <MasonUS> because it can't see ubuntu
[06:49] <MasonUS> it wont let me boot to windows
[06:49] <disinterested> how would i move a folder to a different hd?
[06:49] <MasonUS> can I have it ignore the fact that ubuntu is missing?
[06:50] <Ants> disinterested: drag it over?
[06:50] <shifty-> anyone use openbox?
[06:50] <disinterested> the problem is i cant find the 2 hd
[06:51] <scythetleppo> ok I found it I think, there's a command hidemenu
[06:51] <nickrud> disinterested: mv /path/to/folder /path/to/here
[06:51] <Ants> disinterested: linux to windows? windows to linux?
[06:51] <disinterested> just linux
[06:52] <scythetleppo> yep that was it
[06:52] <workmunch> Am trying to use Firestarter to share an internet connection to no avail. I can get them to ping each other, and I'm fairly sure I'm starting firestarter from an "empty" iptables setup. Any help?
[06:52] <nickrud> overclucker: there's actually a nice grub options editor in the next version ;)
[06:52] <Ants> disinterested: the hard drive is probably not mounted. you need to have it mounted first
[06:52] <scythetleppo> now I need to figure out what that failed to allocate something about memory message is when ubuntu starts
[06:52] <disinterested> how do i mount it?
[06:53] <AA|[russ] _Loko> hi
[06:53] <nickrud> workmunch: do you have firstarter providing dhcp and dns to the other?
[06:53] <overclucker> nickrud, that's make troubleshooting alot easier, lol
[06:53] <overclucker> that'll
[06:54] <Ants> disinterested: google 'mount hard drive linux'
[06:54] <nickrud> aye
[06:54] <disinterested> ty
[06:54] <workmunch> nickrud - I've tried it w/out dhcp too (that's how I was able to get them to ping each other)--but I'm back trying w/dhcp
[06:54] <overclucker> i need to work on my engrish
[06:54] <MasonUS> Well hell fellas, I was hoping someone would know the answer
[06:54] <Ants> ah so, me too work on engrish
[06:54] <nickrud> workmunch: I like dnsmasq
[06:55] <workmunch> nickrud: hmm, I installed that too--that may be the problem, I tried a bunch of things from different tutorials.
[06:55] <TweegyBlink_> hi
[06:55] <nickrud> why with all the grub questions today, I barely know it ;(
[06:55] <TweegyBlink_> hey giys
[06:56] <qman2> I'm running the check CD for defects thing, and then I'll try the repair installation
[06:56] <tarntow> anyone here had sound problem whereby system sounds break off half way through logging in and sound is lost after?
[06:56] <nickrud> MasonUS: I'd redo the grub, have it written to the mbr of the external. Have window's bootloader on the hard drive mbr., and set the external as first boot
[06:57] <MasonUS> redo the grub?
[06:57] <MasonUS> It needs to be able to boot windows without the external attached.
[06:57] <gogeta> nickrud??
[06:57] <MasonUS> the boot loader is on the internal harddrive.
[06:57] <mtx1> is there a way to copy all programs to a new installation by copying certain directories? or do i need to manually reinstall them? i am going with a new system but same chipset and architecture
[06:57] <sgtmattbaker> so .. the college doesnt like people remote desktop to their pc.. what do you think about that
[06:57] <MasonUS> I see what you're saying
[06:57] <MasonUS> put grub on the external
[06:58] <nickrud> MasonUS: yeah, boot to ubuntu, run sudo grub-install /dev/<whatever the external is> , and then rewrite the windows mbr with whatever tool windows provides
[06:58] <MasonUS> so the computer will automatically load windows since it won't see grub at all
[06:58] <nickrud> gogeta: ?
[06:58] <gogeta> seems to make sence
[06:58] <MasonUS> I'll give it a try.
[06:58] <MasonUS> thanks for the advice, I shoulda thought of that :)
[06:59] <kousotu> Where might I go to find drivers for a Memory stick/card reader?
[06:59] <Rictoo> Guys, I am having trouble with gnome-theme-manager. It freezes when I open it. HOWEVER it works perfectly when running it as root. Obviously there is some configuration file problem. How do I clear the config files for gnome-theme-manager?
[06:59] <Tr1pX> i cant get my 2 ubuntu machines to share files
[06:59] <gogeta> kousitu try plugging it in lol
[07:00] <nickrud> kousotu: it should already be in the kernel; your memstick isn't mounting?
[07:00] <kousotu> nickrud: if it was, wold I be asking?
[07:00] <gogeta> trlpx samba is your frend
[07:00] <kousotu> would*
[07:00] <Thurin1> Does anyone understand Xorg Dumps well?
[07:00] <Tr1pX> even for linux to linux
[07:00] <Tr1pX> what about nfs
[07:00] <Ants> kousotu: hahaha touchy, aren't u?
[07:01] <nickrud> kousotu: heck, I always get tripped up when I assume stuff ;)
[07:01] <gogeta> nfs is a bit hard to get to work
[07:01] <kousotu> Ants: no
[07:01] <Tr1pX> yea i can see that i have been playing with it for 2 hours
[07:01] <kousotu> nickrud: It's kewl, just givin you a hard time
[07:01] <DjBones253> my apt is acting up and saying that it can't find an archive for the newest version of deluge that i upgraded to.. haha any help?
[07:01] <Ants> is it just a plain ol' memory stick? no programs on it?
[07:01] <gogeta> so most just use samba
[07:01] <kousotu> nickrud: I need a read/write FAT partions on a ms
[07:01] <Tr1pX> can it be that my usernames are the same on both machines
[07:01] <gogeta> naa
[07:02] <kousotu> Ants: MSD, (for PSP) but yes
[07:02] <nickrud> Tr1pX: I have never used nfs, sorry
[07:02] <Tr1pX> ok i guess i will have to use samba then
[07:02] <Ants> kousotu: cruzer smart, for example, is not linux friendly
[07:02] <kousotu> Tr1pX: what are you trying to do withNTFS?
[07:03] <gogeta> LOL
[07:03] <gogeta> not ntfs
[07:03] <gogeta> nfs
[07:03] <gogeta> network file sharing
[07:03] <kousotu> Ants: PSP or regular sandisc ones, I don't know what make thereader is
[07:03] <Tr1pX> nothing i am trying to share between both of my ubuntu boxes
[07:03] <gogeta> its a app likesamba
[07:03] <Tr1pX> i was trying to set up my server to share with my other ubuntu box
[07:03] <Tr1pX> both are feisty
[07:03] <kousotu> Tr1pX: oh.. sorry, no experience there
[07:04] <nickrud> Rictoo: gnome theme manager drops stuff all through the configuration system, about the only way to clear it would be gconf-tool --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome  ; that will clear a lot of settings you'd have to redo
[07:04] <Ants> mem sticks should just mount. i would try backing up the stick and formatting it after. i think that'll do the trick
[07:04] <gogeta> yea it has to be one odd stick
[07:04] <kousotu> Ants: it doesn't show up
[07:04] <Tr1pX> even when i set my folders to be shared on samba my other machines doesnt see them and they are both set for workgroup
[07:04] <gogeta> your reader usb or something
[07:04] <nickrud> Rictoo: arg, wrong answer :)   Rictoo sudo chown -R ricktoo:ricktoo ~/.gconf
[07:04] <Ants> it's not even in /dev?
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: it's a PSP 32mb stick with the MS  adaptor
[07:05] <gogeta> err
[07:05] <Sevk> MY VNC+VBOX   http://hi.baidu.com/sevk/album/item/74acb235adddd281a61e12a0.html
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: (my laptop reads MS, but not pro duos
[07:05] <gogeta> why not connect your psp via usb
[07:05] <nickrud> Rictoo: and don't run gui apps with sudo
[07:05] <Rictoo> nickrud: I already tried rm -rf'ing .gconf
[07:05] <riotkittie> sweet. i've managed to lose my wired connection under dapper and feisty too. i'm starting to think i should have just kept my last lame adapter.
[07:05] <Rictoo> didn't fix it :(
[07:05] <gogeta> linux should see it
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: Pandora batery
[07:05] <Sevk> can you openit ? http://hi.baidu.com/sevk/album/item/74acb235adddd281a61e12a0.html
[07:05] <nickrud> Rictoo: no, because it gets rewritten from memory when gnome shuts down.
[07:05] <brunner> hi all
[07:05] <Rictoo> so
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: I don't have a second, and I really don't trust USB with it
[07:06] <Rictoo> ubuntu is too smart for me? :(
[07:06] <gogeta> doesent the psp run on usb power
[07:06] <gogeta> if its connected
[07:06] <Rictoo> nickrud: rictoo@rictoo-desktop:~$ chown -R rictoo:rictoo ~/.gconf
[07:06] <brunner> I just installed ubuntu and when I was running off of the live cd I allowed it to use the unsupported X driver.  Now X won't start.  Within xorg.conf, how do I change it back to the default driver?
[07:06] <Rictoo> and that's it
[07:06] <Rictoo> I restart GNOME?
[07:06] <DjBones253> apt can't find an archive and its disabling me from using dpkg, anybody know a workaround?
[07:06] <riotkittie> ok, i need to build a driver. beyond the driver's source, i shouldnt need anything but build-essential and uhmmmm the kernel headers, right? or am i forgetting something vital?
[07:06] <kousotu> gogeta: I could..
[07:07] <nickrud>  Rictoo you could log out, change to a terminal, and do    ps aux | grep gconf , make sure it's not running, then rm -r it
[07:07] <brunner> sorry, I meant that I enabled the unsupported ATI driver and don't know what to change in xorg.conf to set it back.
[07:07] <kousotu> gogeta: but getting the PSP on takes a few tries, and it's on japanese mode lol
[07:07] <patty> change the deviche section from fglrx to ati
[07:07] <gogeta> LOL
[07:07] <patty> although the open source doesn't work for me
[07:07] <easye> anyone in here have a logitech mx700 mouse
[07:07] <riotkittie> brunner > change the driver to ati
[07:07] <patty> ati blows
[07:07] <gogeta> thats probly why right there
[07:07] <easye> i read the tutorial, but it didn't help much
[07:07] <Ants> patty: which card do you have?
[07:08] <kousotu> any info on a ATI Radeon Xpress X1250's compatability with Ubuntu?
[07:08] <nickrud> poor
[07:08] <kousotu> lol
[07:08] <gogeta> horrid
[07:08] <gogeta> gotta use atis drivers
[07:08] <Rictoo> nickrud: Didn't fix anything
[07:08] <gogeta> they suck
[07:09] <kousotu> lmao
[07:09] <DjBones253> atleast ati is going open source lol
[07:09] <Rictoo> Wasn't I supposed to also rm -rf it?
[07:09] <nickrud> Rictoo: you could log out, change to a terminal, and do    ps aux | grep gconf , make sure it's not running, then rm -r it
[07:09] <gogeta> at leats untill later this year whem amd finnly is relesing good ones
[07:09] <kousotu> can's they be wrapped with Ndiswrapper?
[07:09] <Rictoo> nickrud: last time I deleted the folder I was in IceWM
[07:09] <riotkittie> ati's going open source?
[07:09] <nickrud> Rictoo: running apps with sudo sucks
[07:09] <Rictoo> it should've been running then, right?
[07:09] <gogeta> yea
[07:09] <Rictoo> shouldnt've
[07:09] <gogeta> later this year
[07:09] <patty> amd bought them
[07:09] <patty> not the drm part though
[07:10] <riotkittie> oh yea i forgot about that.
[07:10] <Sevk> who can open my web :  http://hi.baidu.com/sevk/album/item/74acb235adddd281a61e12a0.html
[07:10] <patty> there will still be secret parts of it to keep us from doing too much
[07:10] <DjBones253> yeah, ati is releasing their drivers.. almost makes up for their lack of support haha
[07:10] <riotkittie> maybe there's hope for my crappy card after all :P
[07:10] <nickrud> Rictoo: depends on what might have called into action, running a gnome app, maybe. remove gconfd, anything gconf
[07:10] <Nutubuntu> hey there nickrud :)
[07:10] <gogeta> hope for all of us ati cards lol
[07:10] <nickrud> hey Nutubuntu
[07:10] <Ants> i wish i could get 3d accel with my radeon x1600 under feisty. *sigh*
[07:10] <gogeta> use atis drivers ants
[07:11] <DjBones253> i have a radeon 1600 too.. not the most wonderful driver
[07:11] <easye> Sevk, I opened your web
[07:11] <Sevk> : )
[07:11] <patty> do you mean the fglrx or the open source?
[07:11] <Ants> gogeta: doesn't work for me. i prolly did something wrong
[07:11] <gogeta> they suck but at least you will get some 3d
[07:11] <Ants> DjBones253: do you have 3d accel?
[07:11] <DjBones253> i meant the fglrx because it doesnt support compositing
[07:11] <patty> i can't even get x to run with open source... i blame ati, not the coders
[07:11] <jpiccolo> i am having a problem with grep
[07:11] <gogeta> i use the oss drivers
[07:11] <riotkittie> hm. ok. i'm going to go try to get this bleeping adapter running. for the 93rd time.
[07:11] <Nutubuntu> grep problem jpiccolo ?
[07:11] <DjBones253> haha 3d accel but no compositing.. so no beryl or compiz
[07:11] <nickrud> DjBones253: xserver-xgl gives you the pretty stuff
[07:11] <gogeta> but my card has 3d support even under oss
[07:12] <easye> That's too many iterations of Operating systems
[07:12] <Ants> DjBones253: yeah, that sucks
[07:12] <patty> what exactly is compositing?  i'm running compiz right now on ati
[07:12] <kousotu> about the MC issus?
[07:12] <DjBones253> oh really? i didnt know you could get effects with card
[07:12] <DjBones253> ive been using envy to do the dirty work for me all these years haha
[07:12] <patty> you have to use xgl
[07:12] <gogeta> compiz fusion rocks
[07:12] <nickrud> patty: doing the screen writes off screen, then blending, and moving to the displayed screen
[07:12] <patty> which isn't as good as aixgl or whatever the other one is
[07:12] <jpiccolo> Nutubuntu: i need to tree a directory to get the number of directories, then i need to save the number in a variable in my bash script
[07:12] <Netslaye1> when is tribe 6 gusty coming out? why was it delayed?
[07:13] <patty> enraged debian partisans
[07:13] <gogeta> net dont care dont wanna knoe
[07:13] <kousotu> Netslaye1: it wo't be untill most of the bugs are fixed
[07:13] <nickrud> Netslaye1: I hear that it's going to be the first beta, just before the end of the month
[07:13] <DjBones253> oh, gutsy is delayed? ah well, id rather have it delayed than a buggy
[07:13] <riotkittie> oh god.  i forgot what version of the chipset my adapter is :<
[07:13] <TomasuAway> can ubuntu 7.04 be dist-upgraded to 7.10 without any problems once its released?
[07:13] <Nutubuntu> :/ jpiccolo you've gone beyond what I understand of grep, sorry
[07:13] <gogeta> i thionk gust is going to be there next long term distro
[07:13] <shifty-> how do i make something start up automatically with a certain session?
[07:13] <riotkittie> looks like i'll just download the source for them all. woo woo.
[07:13] <gogeta> so they will get it pretty bug free
[07:13] <Rictoo> nickrud: nope, still the same problem
[07:13] <kousotu> nickrud: it's already beta lol
[07:13] <Rictoo> whenever I get into gnome-theme-manager, the entire thing is immediately frozen
[07:13] <nickrud> kousotu: wide scale beta ;)
[07:14] <Rictoo> but if I run with sudo its fine (obviously I can't change themes while running with sudo)
[07:14] <Netslaye1> if i install tribe 5 right now, i can just simply upgrade to beta and final release right with apt-get?
[07:14] <kousotu> nickrud: better answer lol
[07:14] <gogeta> yes netslaye
[07:14] <Rictoo> so it must be a configuration problem, no?
[07:14] <marlun> I removed the link to the gnome help from the panel and now I can't find it, how do I get to it? In "System > Help & Support" it's only ubuntu help, I want the gnome help :)
[07:14] <patty> open source beta is still pretty damn good.  grub's not to version 1 and the whole world runs on it
[07:14] <Netslaye1> anyone try gusty tribe 5... does it generally work? ie pretty solid
[07:14] <gogeta> but your gonna be using beta nstable
[07:14] <gogeta> unstable
[07:14] <gogeta> so be redy for bugs
[07:14] <nickrud> I'm still gonna call gutsy alpha, it'll keep out the riff-raff ;)
[07:15] <Rictoo> nickrud: ^ :(
[07:15] <gogeta> lol
[07:15] <DjBones253> haha its true though
[07:15] <kousotu> Netslaye1: running T5 as we speak,stable fo me
[07:15] <Rictoo> How do I delete all the configuration files?
[07:15] <Rictoo> I deleted .gconf, but it still is doing the thing
[07:15] <Rictoo> ie freezing
[07:15] <DjBones253> magic of synaptic?
[07:15] <Netslaye1> kousotu: cool.. this is for my home server/mythbackend. gotta get it up for the new season
[07:15] <nickrud> Rictoo: I don't know what to say, remove .gnome* .gconf* .local*
[07:15] <Rictoo> .local?
[07:15] <gogeta> majic of apt-get
[07:15] <gogeta> LOL
[07:15] <Rictoo> what's .local ?
[07:15] <shifty-> how do i make something start up automatically with a certain session?
[07:16] <nickrud> Rictoo: any custom launchers you've made
[07:16] <gogeta> easly\
[07:16] <gogeta> shifty
[07:16] <DjBones253> should be under preferences sessions
[07:16] <kousotu> Where might I go to find drivers for a Memory stick/card reader? My internal isn't working and I want to know why
[07:16] <gogeta> system prefrences sessions
[07:16] <Rictoo> nickrud: That would have nothing to do with this, would it? :S
[07:16] <gogeta> you can add startup programs there
[07:16] <TomasuAway> can I expect a distupgrade from fiesty to gutsy to work without problems (once its out?)
[07:16] <shifty-> gogeta: im using openbox
[07:16] <shifty-> gogeta: i cant get to that menu
[07:16] <DjBones253> most likely.. although id give it a few days to let the servers cool down
[07:17] <gogeta> LOL
