[10:33] <pozic> I.e., can I use dpkg --get-selections?
[10:33] <rodolfo> shankhs: I got it solved. Just right-clicked the .sh file -> properties -> permissions tab and checked 'allow execution of the file as a program' gives me the 'what do you want to do with this file?' pop-up back. thx
[10:33] <ikonia> Sorethumb: don't ask if it's not support
[10:33] <Slart> johnflux: yes, you can reinstall without wiping all your files in /home.. I'd recommend a backup first though
[10:33] <raylu> Sorethumb: you asked a question starting with "would it be possible," to which the answer is always yes
[10:34] <Sorethumb> ikonia: Sorry, just morbid curiousity.
[10:34] <Tony22> miranda, network manager has a bug where it won't keep static IP information after reboot
[10:34] <ikonia> Sorethumb: no problem
[10:34] <Tony22> otherwise I wouldn't bother
[10:34] <Sorethumb> raylu: Semantics :P
[10:34] <Calaaros> miranda_psi: Thanks for your help. :) Appears that the audio channel was "Analogue Front"... but I still can't seem to play anything in VLC.
[10:34] <pozic> raylu: would it be possible to solve the Halting problem on a Turing machine?
[10:34] <Tony22> at least I've been told it has a bug... I have a bug. I know that much.
[10:34] <pozic> raylu: ^^
[10:34] <bingungaja> i just know that "cfs" won't work in 64bit, anyone know any program similar to "cfs" that will work in ubuntu 64bits please please please
[10:35] <Slart> bingungaja: tell us what cfs does?
[10:35] <Sorethumb> Alright, time for bed, thanks for the help.
[10:35] <rww> inet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/98908/ is what I have on my (newly installed) Intrepid system
[10:35] <inet> ok thanks
[10:36] <miranda_psi> Tony22: if you have wicd installed you should probably uninstall network manager s they dont conflict, and you can launch wicd from the commandline by: wicd (from memory)
[10:36] <Tony22> i can't get it to install. that's the problem. someone also suggested gnome-network-admin
[10:36] <rww> inet: let me know if you need any more help; good luck :)
[10:36] <rascal999> how do i check devices on usb?

[10:37] <jinji-sheep> Hi -- Is there a pastebinit package for image?  Something that I can upload to a server?  Eg... image2web ~/Photos/Example.png ?
[10:38] <Tony22> miranda_psi: if you have any alternatives to fixing the problem I'd be more than happy to listen. basically network manager won't keep manual IP settings after a reboot.
[10:38] <rascal999> how do i check if a usb device was successfully installed?
[10:38] <bingungaja> Slart: i guess so, using with command "cattach, cdettach, etc"
[10:38] <raylu> pozic: no, but rather it is not a problem P
[10:38] <raylu> pozic: *:P
[10:39] <rww> jinji-sheep: not that I'm aware of, no. There are a tonne of free image hosting services out there you could use, though... no command line stuff (that I know of), though.
[10:39] <habit> Hello. I'm trying to install dvd95 (someone adviced it for dvd ripping as best software), but it is french, is it possible to find english version?
[10:39] <Tekno> you have to learn french
[10:39] <raylu> habit: no, but there's mencoder
[10:39] <jinji-sheep> rww:  Hey.  I'm googling right now.  I might have more luck with forums since I'm sure that the question have been asked (I hope). ;o
[10:40] <elninja_> I'm having trouble finding a thread on the forums for this, but I thought this was common. The issue is that my external USB disk will unmount and remount if it goes idle for too long. Any chance anyone here is familiar with this?
[10:40] <habit> Advice me please other simple software for dvd ripping.
[10:40] <ikonia> elninja_: I have a simialr issue with a cdrom drive on spin down
[10:40] <rww> habit: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs yet?
[10:40] <ikonia> habit: dvd::rip, acidrip
[10:40] <Calaaros> Meh, audio won't play in anything except the mplayer command line.
[10:40] <elninja_> ikonia, is it an external USB drive?
[10:41] <ikonia> elninja_: no, but the principal is the same
[10:41] <habit> Thanks folks!
[10:41] <elninja_> Any chance you have any links on hand for some good reading material? heh
[10:41] <ikonia> elninja_: I'm looking into it as a possible hal problem
[10:43] <J-_> I need some suggestions. I'm running a LAMP installation on hardy, and I need a program to update with afraid.org. What client should I use that's easy to configure?
[10:43] <bingungaja> Slart: any luck ?
[10:43] <miranda_psi> Tony22: do you set the static ip as root or super user?
[10:43] <ikonia> J-_: what ?
[10:44] <J-_> ikonia: I have a dynamic IP. I need a program that will update it.
[10:44] <Slart> bingungaja: well.. cfs seems to work just fine on my 64 bit install
[10:44] <ikonia> mrak: root is a super user
[10:44] <ikonia> J-_: what do you mean update it
[10:44] <Slart> bingungaja: according to the brief testing 've done so far
[10:44] <J-_> something like ddclient
[10:44] <rww> J-_: There's a list of them about halfway down http://freedns.afraid.org/scripts/freedns.clients.php . Looks like most of them are just scripts, so just download them and poke around until you find one you like.

[10:45] <bingungaja> Slart: and then I try to google and some said it won't work on 64 bit
[10:46] <elninja_> ikonia, have you found a bug report on bugs.launchpad.net for it?
[10:46] <ikonia> elninja_: no

[10:47] <davidma> uh, how do I keep xchat from always connecting to this channel by default?
[10:47] <Tony22> davidma: but why would you ever want to leave us? :D
[10:47] <rww> Is ufw available in Hardy, or just in Intrepid?
[10:47] <miranda_psi> Tony22: have you been asked for a password?
[10:48] <jinji-sheep> rww:  Can you check something out for me?  I found the said package (photo-uploader).  However, there are no manual + --help.  I think it's not working.  How would I know?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/graphics/photo-uploader
[10:48] <Slart> bingungaja: hmm.. I seem to have some problems creating files in my encrypted folders.. well well
[10:48] <ikonia> rww: it's in hardy too
[10:48] <Slart> bingungaja: I don't know of anything as simple as this.. there's always truecrypt and friends..
[10:49] <rww> jinji-sheep: Did you look on the homepage, http://cihar.com/software/photo-uploader/ ? Does that help?
[10:49] <Dexi> hey, Chan vote: Who thinks i should ditch SuSE and come back to Ubuntu
[10:49] <jinji-sheep> rww:  Will take a peek.
[10:49] <bingungaja> Slart: too bad, it seems this software is very good and simple, i tried truecrypt, but will it take a long time to encrypt a 2gb folder using truecrypt ?
[10:49] <davidma> found it: 'automatically join channel' setting.  now i'm not sure how it picks which server to connect to
[10:50] <davidma> okay I got it - sorry for pestering.
[10:50] <miranda_psi> Tony22: try running: sudo nm-connection-editor and setting it up like that and see if that helps...
[10:50] <Tony22> miranda_psi: when doing other things in the desktop, yes. but I don't click remember for this session (unless I did by mistake. I don't remember doing it.) if you'd like I can do things via command line with a little instruction.
[10:51] <Slart> bingungaja: I don't think you'll starve to death before it's finished.. but I don't really know
[10:51] <miranda_psi> Tony22: just launch the editor from the command line using sudo as i described above
[10:51] <bingungaja> Slart: thx :P
[10:52] <miranda_psi> Tony22: (again) try running: sudo nm-connection-editor and setting it up like that and see if that helps...
[10:52] <Tony22> miranda_psi: in addition to getting the network configuration window to open, i also got an error in the terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/98917
[10:53] <ac3_0f_spad3s> how can i monitor the temperature of my cpu and graphics card in ubuntu?

[10:53] <Tony22> miranda_psi: (thanks for your help btw)
[10:54] <rww> ikonia: thanks
[10:54] <Slart> !info encfs | bingungaja
[10:54] <miranda_psi> Tony22: that doesn't look bad - it just looks like you haven't install the vpn modules and its trying to load them and failing, but that shouldn't be a problem
[10:54] <Slart> !info loop-aes-utils | bingungaja
[10:54] <rww> !lm-sensors | ac3_0f_spad3s
[10:56] <Tony22> miranda_psi: okay. when I go into network connection editor, then select auto eth0, and then go to IPv4 Settings, it shows all the stuff I manually entered. but I'm pretty sure that when I reboot, it'll be gone (it's done it 3 or 4 times before, and it's never kept those settings after a reboot.)
[10:56] <Old_machine> guys can i burn 2 distros on a single dvd and then choose what to install ?
[10:57] <Zombayo> dsadasda
[10:57] <toddoon> hi, what is the command to mount an image iso already?
[10:57] <Tony22> old_machine: theoretically yes. practically, it'll be easier to use two CDs. as far as I know that is...
[10:57] <rww> What's the oldest supported Ubuntu release? Gutsy?
[10:57] <rww> !iso | toddoon
[10:57] <miranda_psi> Tony22: let me see if i can find the configurations files and then we can see if the info has been put in there...
[10:57] <ichbinesderelch> toddoon: mount -t loop image /where/to/mount if a cd, and module loop must be loaded
[10:57] <toddoon> rww: ichbinesderelch thx
[10:58] <Slart> !dapper
[10:58] <Slart> !lts
[10:59] <rww> Slart: ah. So Dapper is supported, Feisty is EOL, Gutsy is supported?
[10:59] <Slart> rww: so.. 3 years of support for something that came out would mean it's supported until 2009-06..  I'm guessing Dapper Drake is it
[10:59] <Slart> rww: why not try writing !gutsy see what it says
[11:00] <rww> Slart: wait, nvm, I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases which is much clearer :)
[11:01] <Slart> rww =)
[11:01] <bullgard4> What is the filename of the sourcecode of the bash that defines the bash history?

[11:02] <stmartin> hello! Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ??
[11:02] <ikonia> bullgard4: how many times do we go over this
[11:02] <stmartin> I have emerald installed
[11:03] <mojo> hello everyone
[11:03] <ikonia> bullgard4: you KNOW this channel is gor ubuntu support only, not general linux support or software source development
[11:03] <ikonia> bullgard4: please consider this a final warning
[11:03] <kihbord> hi everyone, I use ubuntu hardy and I just noticed that when I go to "Applications | Add/Remove" I get only "There is no matching applications available" message. Any Ideas?
[11:03] <stmartin> How to apply the theme to the ubuntu 8.04 ?
[11:03] <stmartin> I got Compiz Fusion + Emerald
[11:03] <mojo> i am seeking for  org.eclipse.swt.gtk_3.1.0.jar file, can some1 tell me whereI could get that file?
[11:04] <Slart> kihbord: try updating your package list.. also try selecting a new mirror in software sources
[11:04] <tillux> morning. I just started Firefox and it popped up without window borders (not in fullscreen mode, though), and every time I click some menu it flickers a little bit
[11:04] <kihbord> Start: I've done both of them but still nothing
[11:04] <tillux> and it's always on top of all the other windows
[11:05] <tillux> does anyone have a clue why it suddenly stopped using window-borders? (compiz-fusion, emerald, gnome) It's the only application that behaves like this
[11:06] <ikonia>  /join ##linux
[11:06] <crdlb> tillux: I think it _is_ fullscreen. Do you see the gnome panels when it's on top?
[11:07] <stmartin> hello! Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ??
[11:07] <tillux> crdlb: well it does fill the screen completely, but it isn't in fullscreen mode itself (cause I can hit f11 to set it to fullscreen). However, now, I can't see the gnome-panels, because I enabled autohide
[11:07] <Slart> kihbord: hmm.. then I'm out of ideas, sorry
[11:07] <tillux> -w
[11:07] <crdlb> tillux: firefox is not in fullscreen mode, but the window itself has been made fullscreen by a buggy compiz feature
[11:07] <Bas> hi, guys. i've download some debs, then i reinstall system and want update debs, but via local dir, how can i do this?
[11:08] <Rafik> tillux: press F11, then re-size the window
[11:08] <crdlb> tillux: do you have ccsm?
[11:08] <ikonia> Bas: dpkg -i $deb_file
[11:08] <kihbord> start: Thanks.
[11:08] <DasBaum> use the compiz-switch
[11:08] <tillux> crdlb: yep... I just wondered why it suddenly changed, cause I didn't change anything
[11:08] <kihbord> anyone else encountered the same problem?
[11:08] <crdlb> tillux: in ccsm, go to the Workarounds plugin and disable Legacy fullscreen support
[11:09] <miranda_psi> Tony22: yes /etc/network/interfaces is the main network configuration file.  have a look at this and it should help you set it up to get your static ip address: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[11:09] <Bas> ikonia, yeah, but this install all debs :( i want that apt-get and synaptic update from local dir
[11:09] <ikonia> Bas: then you build a local repo
[11:09] <ikonia> Bas: and it won't install all the debs only the ones YOU tell it to
[11:09] <miranda_psi> Tony22: I'm off to get some sleep now, but if you have any more problems feel free to pm them to me and i'll look at them in the morning :)
[11:09] <tillux> crdlb: thanks, that fixed it :)
[11:10] <Tony22> miranda_psi: looking
[11:10] <stmartin> hhelpppp please
[11:10] <Bas> ikonia, i try create local repo, but i've error and pkgs managers download debs via internet :(

[11:13] <ac3_0f_spad3s> how do you redisplay installation options for something you have uninstalled in synaptic package manager?
[11:13] <bmhm> what do you mean by "installation options"?
[11:14] <ac3_0f_spad3s> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[11:14] <ac3_0f_spad3s> whoops
[11:14] <ac3_0f_spad3s> how do you redisplay installation options for something you have uninstalled in synaptic package manager?
[11:16] <dn4> I get some errors when trying to do sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:16] <dn4> I get initramfs-tool errors
[11:16] <ac3_0f_spad3s> by installation options i mean what it allows you to setup when you first install it
[11:17] <bmhm> Hallo. >mplayer < gibt IMMER ein segmentation fault.  Cannot start it, regardless of which version I am using (medibuntu, 8.10 default).
[11:18] <Tony22> miranda_psi: well, I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file. I'm rebooting now to see if it stuck
[11:19] <archman> should i uninstall pidgin in synaptic if i'm going to install new version from source?
[11:19] <rww> archman: yes
[11:20] <archman> rww: will my account info remain?
[11:20] <ikonia> archman: I advise you not to install it from source
[11:20] <dn4> Does anyone know why apt-get
[11:20] <ikonia> archman: pidgin is linked into gnome-desktop
[11:20] <dn4> ;
[11:20] <bmhm> can someone help me with my issue?
[11:20] <rww> archman: yes. Also, I agree with ikonia.
[11:20] <ikonia> archman: putting your own version in could cause real issues
[11:21] <Terabytten> Where can I go to try and find drivers for a laptop screen? Using Xubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 600m...
[11:21] <dn4> unable to access dpkg status read only ?
[11:21] <archman> ikonia: but where are the built versions? i dont see them on the page? i know, gutsy is not supported anymore....
[11:21] <dn4> why is that?
[11:21] <ac3_0f_spad3s> for instance, im trying to install sensors-applet. when i first installed it, it gave me the option to start at startup. I've tried uninstalling it through synaptic, but the installation screen doesnt even come up anymore when i reinstall it.
[11:22] <ikonia> archman thats why you don't see them, but gutsy is still supported I think for a little longer
[11:22] <Tony22> miranda_psi: uh oh... now auto eth0 isn't showing up at all in network configuration
[11:22] <archman> ikonia: ill try to find deb for gutsy, you know where to look?
[11:22] <rww> ac3_0f_spad3s: Oh. I see what's going on.
[11:23]  * stmartin : hello! Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ??
[11:23] <ac3_0f_spad3s> whats that
[11:23] <ikonia> archman: gaim is used it gutsy is it not ?
[11:23] <Terabytten> I've also got this problem where when I'm booting from the harddrive, the screen goes completely blank before I enter the desktop environment, and I have to wait like a minute to a minute and a half, then type startx (Nothing shows up on screen, all black but still lit) and hit enter, then it shows me the screen to login.. Any fixes, or should I keep this as a security feature?
[11:23] <ac3_0f_spad3s> rww: whats that
[11:23] <archman> ikonia: yes it is
[11:23] <ikonia> archman: thats probably why pidgin is not packaged then
[11:23] <ikonia> archman: as gaim is linked into the desktop
[11:23] <rww> ac3_0f_spad3s: sensors-applet recommends hddtemp, which has an installation option asking whether you want to run it at startup (you should probably answer no to that, btw).
[11:24] <ikonia> archman: I would advise you to bring your desktop up to a more current version if you want to use current software packages
[11:24] <rww> ac3_0f_spad3s: if you still have hddtemp installed, sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp should work.
[11:24] <ac3_0f_spad3s> why should i answer no to that?
[11:25] <ac3_0f_spad3s> rww: why should i answer no to that?
[11:25] <archman> ikonia: i know, i was adviced a few times...but i'm a noob music producer and have a lot of software tuned up to work nice (also low-latency, which is much important to me)...so i still chill about getting an upgrade...
[11:25] <rww> ac3_0f_spad3s: the installation options screen explains it. See http://paste.ubuntu.com/98936/
[11:26] <rww> ac3_0f_spad3s: basically, unless you know you need it started at startup, you probably don't.
[11:26] <ikonia> archman: then you can't really expect to use current software packages
[11:26] <archman> ikonia: i know...
[11:26]  * stmartin : hello! Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ??
[11:26] <archman> ikonia: and that's why i don't like that 6month release period..
[11:26] <archman> ;)
[11:26] <bmhm> Hello. I got an issue with mplayer. Regardless of the version I use (Ibex, Medibuntu etc.) I got an segfault immediatly.
[11:27] <ikonia> archman: I agree with you on that
[11:27] <ikonia> stmartin: better to just ask, rather than us "/me" commands
[11:27] <stmartin> ikonia: Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ??
[11:28] <ikonia> stmartin: if you use the emerald theme manager you can apply them
[11:28] <stmartin> I have Emerald Manager+ Compiz fusion
[11:28] <Tony22> miranda_psi: uh oh... now auto eth0 isn't showing up at all in network configuration (again)
[11:28] <stmartin> I use it
[11:28] <foxmulder881> Hi
[11:28] <stmartin> but I can't see any apply button?
[11:28] <ikonia> stmartin: have you setup ubuntu to use emerald as a theme manager or are you still using metacity ?
[11:28] <kestutis> how to make Skype to start on system start-up?
[11:28] <stmartin> I don't know what they are
[11:28] <stmartin> how to check it?
[11:28] <ikonia> stmartin: there shouldn't be an "apply" button
[11:29] <ikonia> stmartin: if you don't know - you haven't done it yet
[11:29] <ac3_0f_spad3s> rww there was a slew of other settings besides hdd temperature
[11:29] <archman> ikonia: any alternative to pidgin?
[11:29] <stmartin> how to check if it is metacity or emerald?
[11:29] <ikonia> archman: gaim - which you already have
[11:29] <phnom> kestutis, System->Preferences->Sessions
[11:29] <ikonia> stmartin: your using metacity

[11:30] <rww> ac3_0f_spad3s: That's the only one that's done during package installation. The rest are in sudo sensors-detect.
[11:30] <stmartin> ikonia: thank you very much, I'll try and see
[11:30] <Tony22> ganesh: do you have your Windows machine setup to bridge two network connections?

[11:35] <ichbinesderelch> vari_karin: run it as root
[11:35] <vari_karin> how?
[11:35] <ichbinesderelch> vari_karin: with "sudo apt-get install pidgin"
[11:35] <ichbinesderelch> !sudo | vari_karin
[11:36] <Tony22> ganesh: so the Ubuntu machine is connected directly to a hub, switch, or router?
[11:37] <stmartin> ikonia: still not working
[11:37] <ikonia> stmartin: what have you done ?
[11:38] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that?
[11:38] <Omar87> Please?
[11:38] <ganesh> Tony22: i am not sure to what it is connected.....its a college lab where all computers are connected to internet...i want to transfer files between them..
[11:38] <stmartin> ikonia: I go System -->Admin -->Sessions added Emerald and command emerald --replace, then Alt+F2 I wrote emerald --replace, then go to the theme manger Import clicked on the theme, appeard on the window screen but it doesn't apply
[11:39] <ikonia> stmartin: still doesn't sound like your using emerald
[11:39] <stmartin> yes
[11:39] <stmartin> :D
[11:39] <ikonia> stmartin: if you have emerald in the sessions option it may do you better to restart to see if it takes hold
[11:40] <saaber> i have a problem with using vnc+gdm+xinetd/openbsd-inetd - the same config works on the debian like a charm
[11:40] <Tony22> ganesh: oh, okay. i thought you were asking something else. I would suggest giving this a read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[11:40] <Terabytten> Does ndiswrapper work for any driver?
[11:40] <Tony22> ganesh: Samba will allow file sharing between windows and linux computers
[11:40] <stmartin> ikonia:to restart my system?
[11:40] <Terabytten> I've only seen it referenced for wlan card drivers.
[11:40] <ikonia> stmartin: well, restart X11, but yes restarting your system will do that
[11:41] <Myrth> hi, if i want to install x64, will there be any limitation in available apt packages? or all binary packages are available for x64?
[11:41] <stmartin> ikonia: thanks I'll try
[11:41] <ikonia> Myrth: some kernel modules are 32bit only, some java and flash packages require a 32bit lib
[11:41] <mick23985> Hello, can anyone tell me how to connect to a windows share in ubuntu?
[11:41] <ikonia> lib wrapper I should say
[11:41] <ikonia> mick23985: use samba as you have been directed
[11:41] <rww> Myrth: I use x64, and have never noticed any missing packages. Java and Flash are 32bit only, but can still be installed in 64bit because of wrappers. Apart from that, everything should be the same.
[11:41] <martinfrench> Hey, can I get some help regarding ripping dvds please
[11:42] <ganesh>  Tony22: ya i hav samba installed
[11:42] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that?
[11:42] <martinfrench> Can someone assist me please?
[11:42] <saaber> if anyone have some experience with vnc+gdm+xinetd, then i realy need help please, i have read all the web pages and documents but the problem ...
[11:42] <martinfrench> I need to rip a DVD on my Ubuntu box
[11:42] <ikonia> martinfrench: you've not told us the problem yet
[11:43] <martinfrench> What would be the best way to do it. when I put the dvd in there nothing happens
[11:43] <_UMBRO_> "Received invalid DCC SEND request from" why this?
[11:43] <harlemdavvey> hi guys! how does xfce works?? i have a problem in looking for how to configure shortcuts by keyboard!! how can i do??
[11:43] <Myrth> ikonia, rww: thanks, i've just read in some blog "And with a 64 bit processor, 64 bit Ubuntu, and 64 bit flash, you're web experience would be at the highest there is!" - was that just hypothetical?
[11:43] <ikonia> _UMBRO_: someone trying to send you a file, report it in #freenode if you don't know him
[11:44] <ikonia> Myrth: 64bit flash is a very early better, so that person is illinformed
[11:44] <Omar87> martinfrench: Don't ask to ask, just tell us your problem, dude. ;)
[11:44] <martinfrench> Lol, didn't I?
[11:44] <Tony22> ganesh: so samba isn't working?
[11:44] <Myrth> ikonia: thanks again
[11:44] <martinfrench> I put the DVD in and nothing happens and I have no clue where to start as to ripping it.
[11:44] <rww> Myrth: It's highly exaggerated. I've noticed no difference in performace with web browsing and flash between 32- and 64-bit.
[11:44] <martinfrench> I don't know how to play it either lol
[11:44] <ikonia> martinfrench: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/index.html
[11:45] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please?
[11:45] <martinfrench> Thanks, I'll browse that link.
[11:45] <Terabytten> How is it possible that when I boot live from a usb stick, I can set my display to 1026 but when I install to hdd it only allows up to 640?
[11:45] <harlemdavvey>  hi guys! how does xfce works?? i have a problem in looking for how to configure shortcuts by keyboard!! how can i do??  i used ubuntu with the gnome interface and i noticed that it has a configure option for the keyboard shortcuts..  but i'm not able to find how to configure/edit my shortcuts for an easy work with my pc..:) thx if you can help me:)
[11:45] <ichbinesderelch> Terabytten: what grafics card do you have?
[11:46] <Terabytten> Umm... I'd have to find out, it would take a minute.
[11:46] <rww> martinfrench: Some programs to rip DVDs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs , playing DVDs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[11:46] <jones-> Hello. Running Ubuntu 8.10. I have an Nvidia card with 2 DVI outs, and it works ok with dual monitor. Then I bought a DVI-to-HDMI cable and connected it to the computer and the TV, but xrandr -q only shows one screen. What am I missing?
[11:46] <Terabytten> But it still doesn't make sense that the live boot would have capabilities that the hdd boot doesn't.
[11:47] <mick23985> all i had to do to access windows share was install samba then it came up in network
[11:47] <ichbinesderelch> Terabytten: because i guess the live cd is kinda preconfigured, and your system not
[11:47] <Terabytten> Even when I use xrandr, it says the max display for my laptop is 640...
[11:47] <martinfrench> rww: Thanks i'll take a look.
[11:47] <ichbinesderelch> Terabytten: maybe post your xorg.conf in a pastebin pls
[11:47] <Terabytten> that seems quite lame! lol.
[11:47] <archman> ikonia: where does pidgin store all the info about 'contacts' ? in /usr/share/ ?
[11:48] <ganesh> Tony22:its working but not showing windows workgroup..
[11:48] <Terabytten> umm.. where would I find that at?
[11:48] <rww> archman: /home/yourUsername/.purple/
[11:48] <archman> rww: tnx!
[11:48] <ichbinesderelch> Terabytten: xorg.conf is stored in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:48] <archman> rww: i'll try reinstalling from source and then ill report back, how it all ended!
[11:48] <Tony22> okay... so I guess I need to restate my problem. I just installed 8.10. I need to set the computer with a static IP. I can do that, but Network Manager will not keep the settings after a reboot. I've gone through /etc/network/interfaces and that doesn't seem to work (but I might be doing it incorrectly.) I've also setup my sources to grab Wicd (I think) but I can't seem to get it to install. Any suggestions would be appreciated on getting a stati
[11:49] <rww> archman: good luck, you'll need it >.>
[11:49] <ikonia> archman: again, I strongly advise you not to
[11:49] <siccness> Evening chieftons.
[11:49] <archman> ikonia: i know, but it's not the first app im installing from source...
[11:49] <ikonia> so ?
[11:49] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please?
[11:50] <martinfrench> OK. I already have VLC player. When I load it up it is just a little bar and I the menu options I cant find anything that allows me to watch the DVD. I figure that it would be better to start trying to play the dvd rather than try rip it.
[11:50] <ikonia> martinfrench: did you follow the information in the URL I sent you
[11:51] <anu> how to let Gedit Indent?
[11:51] <ganesh> Tony22:how to create a workgroup in ubuntu?
[11:51] <martinfrench> I looked at it and browsed down to the section on playing DVDs. I typed the thing starting with sudo into applications terminal and I didn't seem to make a difference.
[11:52] <ikonia> martinfrench: you need more than 1 command
[11:52] <ikonia> martinfrench: READ the link I sent you
[11:52] <martinfrench> haha 1sec.
[11:52] <ikonia> martinfrench: it's really annoying when there is a guide typed out
[11:52] <ikonia> martinfrench: I'm not laughing
[11:52] <rww> anu: Edit > Preferences > Plugins > [X] Indent Lines
[11:52] <ikonia> martinfrench: it's insultint when you ask for help, you're given a guide which does it for you and you don't read it
[11:52] <martinfrench> One second please. Don't be so harsh
[11:52] <ikonia> martinfrench: don't waste peoples time
[11:52] <anu> thank you rww
[11:52] <rww> anu: then Ctrl-T to indent and Ctrl-Shift-T to unindent :)
[11:52] <s_ar_aarr> is it possible to get the newest stable kernel without compiling it myself? running ubuntu 8.10
[11:52] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: no
[11:53] <Tony22> ganesh: actually try this guide instead http://jngalloway.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/easy-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-no-editing-text-files/
[11:53] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, i have got 5-6 kernels the last year when using ubuntu
[11:53] <martinfrench> ikonia: I'm sorry I missread the first part.
[11:53] <s_ar_aarr> don't know why it suddenly has stopped
[11:53] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: you only get a new kernel offered when ubuntu packages a new kernel
[11:53]  * delcoyote hi
[11:53] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: ubuntu only packages a new kernel when one is needed
[11:54] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, hmm, ok
[11:54] <ikonia> delcoyote: just say "hi" not /me hi
[11:54] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, but they have released 5-6 new kernels the last 6 months right?
[11:54] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: for what version
[11:54] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please?
[11:54] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: I've only seen about 4 for 8.10
[11:54] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10
[11:54] <delcoyote> i didnt ikonia
[11:54] <delcoyote> i did  a /ame
[11:54] <anu> oh, i mean auto-indent,gedit
[11:54] <anu> :)
[11:54] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, ok, when could we expect the 2.6.28 kernel u think?
[11:55] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: 8.04 has had 5 - 8 kernels released
[11:55] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: never
[11:55] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: ubuntu rarley if ever changes major kernel release
[11:55] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, aha
[11:55] <rww> anu: Edit > Preferences > Editor > [X] Enable automatic indentation
[11:55] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, just releases small changes to kernel?
[11:55] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr:  backports normally
[11:55] <martinfrench> ikonia: I clicked on the three things at the top which is what I think I was meant to do (the guide is a bit vague) And then typed that thing into application terminal again. It didn't seem to make a difference. I followed all 4 steps.
[11:55] <anu> thank you again rww >< :)
[11:55] <Tony22> okay... so I guess I need to restate my problem. I just installed 8.10. I need to set the computer with a static IP. I can do that, but Network Manager will not keep the settings after a reboot. I've gone through /etc/network/interfaces and that doesn't seem to work (but I might be doing it incorrectly.) I've also setup my sources to grab Wicd (I think) but I can't seem to get it to install. Any suggestions would be appreciated on getting a stati
[11:55] <ikonia> martinfrench: the guide is not vague
[11:55] <illmortal> Hey guys, I just installed Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Ubuntu 8.10 on separate partitions but on the same hard drive, but for some reason after installing Ubuntu Vista doesn't list Ubuntu as one of the OS to choose from. Can anyone assist me?
[11:56] <ikonia> martinfrench: it tells you exactly what to do
[11:56] <rww> anu: You're welcome :)
[11:56] <ikonia> martinfrench: it doesn't tell you to clikc on the links,
[11:56] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, but the kernel 2.6.28, i shouldn't run into too many problems compiling it?
[11:56] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: I suspect you will run into many problems
[11:56] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: why do you want the .28 kernel ?
[11:56] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, because of the GEM so compiz can run smoothy on my old intel graphic card
[11:56] <ikonia> martinfrench: if you can't be bothered to read and follow the document properly - I can't be bothered helping
[11:57] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: what card do you have ?
[11:57] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: you do know that the kernel doesn't provide X11 graphics drivers ?
[11:57] <s_ar_aarr> intel 82855
[11:57] <martinfrench> ikonia: I am not sure that we are on the same page. You sent me a help page which I assumed to click on videos and dvds. I am on the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-dvd
[11:57] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please?
[11:58] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, i was told that compiz now run perfects with the new kernel, it's still a bit lag when running now
[11:58] <ikonia> martinfrench: yes, thats the right page
[11:58] <ikonia> s_ar_aarr: I doubt %99.9 that the kernel will change compiz's performance
[11:58] <rww> martinfrench: okay, those instructions look right. Which step are you up to on there?
[11:58] <ikonia> rww: none - because he's not reading them
[11:59] <martinfrench> rwww: I believe I followed all the steps. Clicked the top three links. typed that thing. then put the disc in.
[11:59] <ikonia> martinfrench: where did it say click on the links
[12:00] <rww> ikonia: I understand that you're an operator and it's not my place to criticise you, but that attitude really isn't necessary.
[12:00] <ikonia> martinfrench: show me where it said "click on these three links"
[12:00] <s_ar_aarr> ikonia, some says i can add the jaunty sources and update the kernel too, it works fine
[12:00] <martinfrench> ikonia: It didn't but I assumed that I was meant to.
[12:00] <ikonia> rww: your welcome to critise, feeedback is also welcome
[12:00] <ikonia> martinfrench: I told you READ it
[12:00] <ikonia> martinfrench:don't assume
[12:00] <ikonia> martinfrench: it spells it out in clear english for you
[12:00] <ikonia> martinfrench: your making mistakes because you're not reading the text
[12:01] <rww> martinfrench: Ah, I see what's wrong. You're not supposed to click those links. You're supposed to install the packages. You'll want to do something like "sudo apt-get install libdvdnav4 libdvdread3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly"
[12:01] <rww> martinfrench: the hyperlinks are just there to provide more information on the packages if you want it.
[12:01] <ikonia> rww: it tells him what to do -
[12:01] <ikonia> rww: the words "install the following packages"
[12:01] <ikonia> rww: hence why I'm not impressed that someone has taken the time to write this document and now on 3 occasions he won't read it
[12:02] <martinfrench> rww: Thank you very much much better help for someone linux illiterate.
[12:02] <ikonia> martinfrench: your not linux illiterate - your just not reading
[12:02] <martinfrench> ikonia: not everyone is a linux wizard. I read every word at least twice.
[12:02] <anu> thanks very much again, rww :) you help me a lot
[12:02] <ikonia> martinfrench: so why did you click the links ?
[12:02] <ikonia> martinfrench: why did you not install the packages
[12:03] <martinfrench> Ikonia: Because that is how i thought you installed them.
[12:03] <rww> ikonia: The documentation could be better-written. It's somewhat unfortunate that it's not in the world-editable part of help.ubuntu.com.
[12:03] <rww> ikonia: although I understand why, of course.
[12:03] <ikonia> martinfrench: then say "I don't know how to install"
[12:03] <Misterio> hi all
[12:03] <ikonia> martinfrench: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/add-applications/C/index.html
[12:04] <ikonia> martinfrench: but I suggest you skim over the basic introduction stuff on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/
[12:04] <martinfrench> ikonia: If we are going to be pointing out peoples flaws then: You should have realised that I didn't know how if I said I was clicking on the links.
[12:04] <Misterio> What is better for freenode, xchat or pidgin?
[12:05] <kgodwin> I prefer XChat
[12:05] <kgodwin> 'better' is pretty subjective tho
[12:05] <ichbinesderelch> Misterio: every client has his pros and cons, just try them out for yourself
[12:05] <rww> Misterio: either will work fine. Many people prefer XChat over Pidgin, but both are useable.
[12:05] <ikonia> martinfrench: unless you provide feedback beyond "it does nothing" we can't know
[12:05] <martinfrench> ok. I have typed in the install thing that rww told me to do but substituted in each package. then typed in the one on step 2.
[12:06] <martinfrench> There has been no changes
[12:06] <Misterio> but in repos are you, xchat and xchat-gnome, what is the original?
[12:06] <Misterio> Sorry for my english
[12:06] <Terabytten> When I do just $ xrandr by itself, if comes up with 'screen 0' for my monitor, if I want to refer to it using '$ xrandr --addmode' Would I do screen, screen 0, screen_0... or...?
[12:06] <ikonia> martinfrench: exactly what did you type
[12:06] <ikonia> martinfrench: exactly - to the letter
[12:06] <Misterio> *two
[12:06] <martinfrench> My dvd spins up when I insert it. but then nothing
[12:06] <Misterio> no you
[12:06] <Misterio> xD
[12:06] <FloodBot2> Misterio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:06] <illmortal> Hey guys, I just installed Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Ubuntu 8.10 on separate partitions but on the same hard drive, but for some reason after installing Ubuntu Vista doesn't list Ubuntu as one of the OS to choose from. Can anyone assist me?
[12:06] <rww> Misterio: xchat. xchat-gnome is a heavily-edited version of xchat that makes rather controversial changes.
[12:06] <Dexi> >.>
[12:06] <rww> martinfrench: Did you say earlier that you've already installed VLC? or was that someone else?
[12:06] <Dexi> having trouble installing java plugin
[12:06] <Dexi> again lol i always forget how to do this one
[12:07] <ikonia> illmortal: the vista / windows boot loader is not aware of other os's
[12:07] <martinfrench> That was already there for me.
[12:07] <ikonia> illmortal: you need grub to boot ubuntu
[12:07] <ikonia> !gurb > Imaginativeone_
[12:07] <ikonia> oops
[12:07] <ikonia> !grub > illmortal
[12:07] <illmortal> ikonia, shouldn't Ubuntu have made Grub into the default boot loader?
[12:07] <ikonia> illmortal: yes, but you installed vista which overwrites it
[12:08] <rww> martinfrench: after installing those packages and running that install-css script, I usually am able to play DVDs by opening vlc and issuing File -> Open Disc (I think that's the menu option, anyway. Give me a sec and I'll check).
[12:08] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please?
[12:08] <Dexi> Could someone help me install the Java plugin?
[12:08] <illmortal> ikonia, nono, I installed vista prior to Ubuntu
[12:08] <kgodwin> Anyone else having trouble getting apt-get update to run due to network issues?
[12:08] <rww> Dexi: do you want the official Sun one?
[12:08] <illmortal> so Ubuntu's Grub should have over-written Vista's boot loader
[12:08] <theunixgeek> I'm banned from #ubuntu-offtopic for no reason. Please help :)
[12:09] <rww> Dexi: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre icedtea6-plugin" if so
[12:09] <kgodwin> is the us archive down?
[12:09] <rww> theunixgeek: ask about it in #ubuntu-ops, not here
[12:09] <theunixgeek> rww: thanks :)
[12:09] <martinfrench> rww: that is what I have been trying to do. I cannot find the disc
[12:09] <toddoon> i have a hp pavillon dv7 1199-ef, and i have no sound , i think i have to compile myself drivers but how do i hnow which ones?
[12:09]  * rww grabs a dvd
[12:09] <martinfrench> rww: Wouldn't it mount usually?
[12:10] <Dexi> rww thanks
[12:10] <rww> Dexi: not sure if the icedtea thing is strictly necessary. If you're curious, feel free to test that. You do need the jre, though.
[12:11] <Dexi> i really want some iced tea right now
[12:11] <kgodwin> Is anyone else not able to update their ubuntu installation atm?
[12:11] <Terabytten> My xorg.conf: patebin.com/md0a9d8f
[12:11] <martinfrench> kgodwin: I got the latest CDs of a friend and installed fresh.
[12:12] <Terabytten> er
[12:12] <Terabytten> My xorg.conf: pastebin.com/md0a9d8f
[12:12] <Terabytten> lol
[12:12] <martinfrench> rww: Any further ideas?
[12:12] <rww> martinfrench: okay. I did all of those commands we already did. I then put a DVD in the drive. It popped up an autorun dialog box, but I ignored it because I know I want to use VLC. I open VLC from the "Sound and Video" menu. I do Media > Open Disc. The "disc device" is set to /dev/scd0, which is correct and is my dvd drive. I press Play. It works.
[12:13] <martinfrench> rww: I did all the same but only got as far as inserting the DVD. No auto run pops up.
[12:13] <glymph> !grub | illmortal
[12:13] <Terabytten> Umm... If somebody can help me with my screen resolution problems.. please PM?
[12:14] <rww> martinfrench: okay.  When I go "Open disc" I cannot find the disc. I tried this multiple times now.
[12:14] <rww> Dexi: looks like us.archive.ubuntu.com is down right now. I'm using ubuntu.cs.utah.edu and it's working fine.
[12:14] <kgodwin> you having problems with US repos too?
[12:14] <Dexi> yeah just started
[12:15] <Dexi> like 5 mins ago at least
[12:15] <kgodwin> How do we switch repos? ;)
[12:15] <Dexi> beats me
[12:15] <rww> martinfrench: So the setting for "Disc device" is blank or incorrect?
[12:15] <Dexi> i dont know anything about this stuff
[12:15] <Dexi> hence my presence here :D
[12:15] <kgodwin> I've never had to switch repos ;(
[12:15] <martinfrench> rww: Blank. but Usually The disc would mount woudln't it
[12:16] <Dexi> im gonna give 'er a reboot right now, could use one pretty bad... back soon
[12:16] <rww> Dexi, kgodwin: System > Administration > Software Sources > Download from: Other, and either select a server from  the box that comes up, or hit Select BEst Server
[12:16] <rww> martinfrench: Yeah. This may be a stupid question, but... are you sure it's a DVD drive, not a CD-only drive?
[12:16] <kgodwin> rww: I need the command line version ;)
[12:17] <rww> kgodwin: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and do it manually.
[12:17] <martinfrench> rww: 100% haha on windows I watch dvds i rent all the time. it's top of the range according to the guy at austin comupters.

[12:17] <Zenitur> Hello! I am downloading Ubuntu repository. This is 25392 MiB. How to slip this to 6 or 5 DVDs?
[12:17] <rww> martinfrench: okay, just checking. You never can be too sure in here... So you've watched that particular DVD on Windows on the same computer?
[12:18] <martinfrench> rww: not this exact one. It's one of the High definition DVDs
[12:18] <illmortal> If I reinstall Grub, should Grub be able to see the other Windows' partition
[12:18] <illmortal> ?
[12:18] <archman> Dexi: i can't connect
[12:18] <magentar> (intrepid) how do i get xorg/nvidia autodetection to use custom refresh rates in the monitor section of xorg.conf? Setting them in ServerLayout -> Screen -> Monitor does not seem to have an effect
[12:18] <rww> martinfrench: Have you watched HD-DVDs on this computer before?
[12:19] <martinfrench> it's not a HD-DVD just a high definition quality dvd.
[12:19] <chipt4> trying to remember how to write this.. i need to execute this to auto extract a bunch of tar.gz files in a directory.. something like:  for i in $i | do tar -zxf $i.tar.gz  [i know that's wrong]
[12:19] <Zenitur> Hi! I am downloading Ubuntu repository (8.10, without source). This is 25392 MiB. How to slip this to 6 or 5 DVDs?
[12:19] <glymph> illmortal: the grub documentation should tell you about that
[12:19] <waremperor> bonne année a toutes et a tous, politesse oblige
[12:19] <martinfrench> rww: the ones in the boxes with the curved top.
[12:20] <jeeves_Moss> anyone?  Moto4Lin?
[12:20] <illmortal> The documentation, unfortunately is pretty vague and has nothing to do with the current situation.
[12:20] <martinfrench> rww: can Ubuntu play those?
[12:20] <kgodwin> us repos back up
[12:20] <illmortal> I'll just go to the forumboards.
[12:20] <Dexi>  AH!!! something is seriously wrong!
[12:21] <kgodwin> Whats wrong Dexi? The repos are back >.<
[12:21] <Dexi> linux booted in 800x600 and is complaining it cant detect display or something
[12:21] <glymph> Zenitur: you shouldn't need to download the entire repository
[12:21] <HacKBoX> hello
[12:21] <Dexi> gonna reboot again
[12:22] <Dexi> ugh >.> linux...
[12:22] <Zenitur> glymph, I am student without money for unlimited Internet.
[12:22] <HacKBoX> Zenitur. why don't you hijack internet
[12:22] <glymph> Zenitur: in that case, just use the repositories to download the packages you need whilst installing
[12:23] <Zenitur> HacKBoX, in Russia? It will be crached without any hacks... No, thank you...
[12:23] <HacKBoX> crached?
[12:23] <Zenitur> crashed
[12:24] <HacKBoX> crashed by who?
[12:24] <rww> Who was I helping a few minutes ago? My cat attacked my wireless router and disconnected me >.>
 martinfrench: okay, just checking. You never can be too sure in here... So you've watched that particular DVD on Windows on the same computer?
[12:24] <kgodwin> last thing I saw you say
[12:24] <rww> kgodwin: thanks
[12:24] <ichbinesderelch> rww: maybe you should spent more time with your cat :P

[12:36] <HacKBoX> you have to dynamically receive an ip address from the router before it will ping
[12:36] <kizedek> Hey, If i boot my pc with the monitor switched off and it gets to the login screen while the monitor is off then the resolution seems to be locked at a very low until i reboot.  Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
[12:36] <archman> rww: yes, even all plugins worked, although i bypassed some of them, they are not needed to me...so a little dep solving, and thats it!
[12:36] <HacKBoX> babuto: you have to dynamically receive an ip address from the router before it will ping
[12:36] <jeeves_Moss> Babuto`, try taking down the NIC, editing the interfaces files, then restarting the NIC
[12:36] <glymph> Babuto`: it sounds like your network card isn't recognised, check the output of "lspci", which will list the PCI devices in the system against the output of "dmesg", which should give details of what has been successfully discovered
[12:36] <ashiswin> who here is part of the doc team?

[12:41] <HacKBoX> Babuto login to your router from one of the other computers and make sure you have IPv6 turned on. If you only have IPv4 then dhclient will not work because it only registers with IPv6. You can either turn it on or download the dhcpcd .deb from one of the other machines and install it on the kubuntu box
[12:41] <hanbin973>  swiftfox is not working with mplayer

[12:43] <HacKBoX> Babuto then you have to download the dhcpcd package and install it
[12:43] <amjed> support vedio cals
[12:43] <HacKBoX> dhclient will not work with IPv4
[12:43] <jeeves_Moss> archman, followed that allready

[12:46] <Babuto`> how can i request an ip ?
[12:46] <amjed> i will back to windowos
[12:46] <kane77> Babuto`, you mean with dhcp?
[12:46] <Babuto`> kane77 yes
[12:46] <amjed> it's better than linux
[12:47] <ice_cream> looks like a small hdd
[12:47] <archman> jeeves_Moss: this maybe? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connect-motorola-v3x-to-ubuntu-704-trough-usb.html
[12:47] <kane77> Babuto`, if so then you use dhclient eth0 (or any interface)
[12:47] <amjed> bye linux
[12:47] <Babuto`> kane77 i've tried but i have no response
[12:47] <archman> amjed: LOL

[12:48] <Babuto`> kane77 yes as i'm connected to internet with the other computers
[12:48] <Babuto`> (with automatic ip)
[12:48] <ice_cream> acekipwesafari, typically if it's a service, you'd usually do  /etc/init.d/servicename restart  , where servicename would be pulseaudio (assuming it's there) or something else

[12:57] <rww> Babuto`: are you just trying to get eth1 to connect automatically with dhcp on startup? or is there something more complicated here I'm not seeing?

[12:59] <Christianbill> Does anyone use SCIM succesfully with Skype?
[13:00] <Babuto`> no i have a router in my house, and i have several computers (on windows or mac os) connected to it
[13:00] <Babuto`> but i can't have my kubuntu connected to the router (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[13:00] <archman> amjed: further info about your problem maybe?
[13:00] <archman> what does it say
[13:00] <amjed> give me the best instant messenger
[13:00] <Babuto`> if i write ping <IP_ADDRESS> : i have Network is unreachable, whereas my ethernet cable is plugged to the router
[13:00] <katad0t1s> Hi. I am having problem with greek characters and PIcassa. Any clues?
[13:00] <rww> Babuto`: oh, okay, i see. sorry, i misunderstood. The other part of your problem was that KDE was messed up so you can't get NetworkManager, right?
[13:01] <amjed> it's say error conecting to server
[13:01] <Babuto`> rww plasma crashes at startup so i can't use networkmanager (so i removed it)
[13:01] <amjed> I've check the proxy
[13:01] <Babuto`> so now i'm trying to connect to internet to fix the kde and plasma problems
[13:01] <Babuto`> without networkmanager
[13:01] <amjed> and everything is ok
[13:01] <HacKBoX> Babuto: This is just a quick check. Did you try to reset your router and plug it back in then reboot the machine?
[13:02] <rww> Babuto`: okay. "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces". The only thing in there right now is the lo line, right? If so, add the line "iface eth1 inet dhcp"
[13:02] <rww> Babuto`: (stop me if I'm retreading old territory you've already been over with others)
[13:02] <amjed> but i can't log in
[13:02] <archman> amjed: without proxy? works?
[13:02] <amjed> what can I do?
[13:02] <amjed> no
[13:02] <Babuto`> HacKBoX rww i'll try to reboot the router and i'll comeback
[13:02] <amjed> with system proxy
[13:03] <clou> did ubuntu patch vlc 0.9.4 to fix the bugs(which are fixed in 0.9.8a), because ubuntu doesn't upgrade to 0.9.8a
[13:03] <albert748> hey,guys, where to register, when I want to login other room?
[13:03] <amjed> give me the best instant messenger support video calls
[13:03] <HacKBoX> rww: I'm trying to help but Its not so easy when you cant see the commands output
[13:04] <clou> amsn
[13:04] <rww> !register | albert748
[13:04] <archman> amjed: try without proxies
[13:04] <Slart> clou: not sure if they did.. but afaik they don't usually update unless there are security implications.. or very serious bugs.. also try !backports
[13:05] <rww> HacKBoX: I know. Let me know if I'm interfering with your helping; I don't mean to...
[13:05] <HacKBoX> rww: no not at all
[13:05] <theCat0> amjed, you can use the built-in program for that
[13:06] <clou> Slart: it's not in backports, but why don't they fix bugs?
[13:06] <AgLoT> nvidia fx 5200, not edit 640x320
[13:06] <AgLoT> help
[13:07] <rww> clou: VLC updates too frequently, and Ubuntu developers don't like pushing new major releases to stable versions, because there could be new bugs lurking in them (better the evil you know...). They're trying to figure out how to handle VLC better (there's been mailing list discussions about it) but it's difficult.
[13:07] <mizipzor> how to fix the error in my nvidia drivers? error at the end of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f5f32fde8
[13:07] <rww> new major versions to stable releases **
[13:08] <Babuto`> rww i've added the line you told me and then restarted "networking" and that worked
[13:08] <clou> hmm, ok new updates could bring new bugs, but in first line they should fix old bugs..i don't understand this logic
[13:08] <HacKBoX> Babuto: Awesome
[13:08] <Babuto`> HacKBoX :) but i've written sudo dhclient to get the ip (ipv4) !
[13:08] <rww> Babuto`: awesome, glad I could help :). If you ever do get NetworkManager running again, consider removing those lines, 'cause NM tends to get annoyed by them. Just an fyi.
[13:09] <Babuto`> rww ok
[13:09] <Babuto`> now i have plasma that does not start, but i may find more help on #kde
[13:09] <rww> Babuto`: yeah. or #kubuntu.
[13:09] <hspaans> rww: there is a good way to handle vlc, drop it and leave it for dead until its sane again
[13:09] <rww> hspaans: I do not disagree with the people that argue that vlc should be dropped from the repos.
[13:10] <HacKBoX> Babuto: I had no clue why it wouldn't support it but I was checking against linuxquestions.org
[13:10] <rww> clou, hspaans: anyway, perhaps we should take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, since we're wandering outside of the scope of #ubuntu...
[13:12] <mizipzor> do i need to use the nvidia drivers to get x running? arent there any fallbacks?
[13:12] <ede> yes
[13:12] <smtx> mizipzor: afaik the fallback is normal vesa
[13:12] <smtx> but not by default
[13:12] <smtx> you have to edit your xorg.conf (or whatever it is now)
[13:13] <mizipzor> smtx: its still xorg.conf... at least for me
[13:13] <ede> nvidia-xconfig
[13:13] <flash043> hello all, I have a acer laptop 256 ram 120 gb hard drive... would I be able to run ubuntu on this?
[13:13] <jeeves_Moss> when I connect my cell, demsg shows that it's connect to ttyACM0, but I don't see it in /dev  how can I look for it?
[13:14] <HacKBoX> auto-identify: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[13:14] <smtx> re
[13:14] <mizipzor> ede: running that and then startx gives the same error, no nvidia kernel module and no screens found
[13:15] <datta> i am trying to convert .dat file in ubuntu, how can that be made possible
[13:15] <MS_Victim> flash043: yes you can. No problem. Anyway you can see the hardware requeriments in Ubuntu web
[13:16] <mizipzor> smtx: there is a Driver "nvidia" line in xorg.conf, can i change that to something to bypass the use of nvidia driver?
[13:16] <flash043> MS but i don't think i can run 8 though
[13:16] <flash043> what verision should i create
[13:16] <Dexi> hi all
[13:16] <SemiApocalyptic> Hi guys, I'm having some problems getting 8.10 to see my external USB drive - I have run lsusb and it returns a line for the drive "Bus 005 Device 005: ID 059b:0177 Iomega Corp. Hi-Speed USB-to-IDE Bridge Controller", though, fdisk -l is not seeing the drive... Any suggestions?
[13:17] <soreau> mizipzor: Yes, change "nvidia" to "vesa" and restart to get into a fail safe session
[13:18] <smtx> mizipzor: yep soreau is probably better informed than me but vesa should do the job
[13:18] <homy> SemiApocalyptic: what does dmesg say?
[13:18] <homy> to that?
[13:18] <jeeves_Moss> anyone?  how do I track what a new device is plugged into?
[13:18] <smtx> jeeves_Moss: lspci ?
[13:18] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, plugged using which method ?
[13:18] <datta> i am trying to convert .dat file in ubuntu, how can that be made possible for me it does not seem possible
[13:18] <mizipzor> soreau: smtx: ok thanks
[13:18]  * soreau is just floating through the channel
[13:18] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, USB or PCI or What ?
[13:18] <ichbinesderelch> SemiApocalyptic: does 'dmesg' give you any message that the drive is recognized?
[13:19] <jeeves_Moss> smtx, I can see it listed under LSUSB
[13:19] <Slart> datta: a .dat file can be almost anything..  what kind of file is it?
[13:19] <datta> its a movie file
[13:19] <datta> avi or divx
[13:19] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, dmesg shows it plugged into ttyACM0, but I can't find it listed under /dev
[13:19] <Slart> datta: you can run "file yourfile.dat" in a terminal to get some info about it
[13:19] <SemiApocalyptic> homy: It scrolls a tonne of "... Sense Key: No Sense [current] ..." messages
[13:20] <datta> can't i convert it?
[13:20] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, try to remount it
[13:20] <homy> SemiApocalyptic: the last few messages are important. Can you pop out the drive and put it back in and pastebin the last ~20 lines of dmesg output afterwards?
[13:20] <peabody> what should I do if after install I have no network interfaces?
[13:20] <mizipzor> smtx: okey, the x server started, but i had to do sudo startx, otherwise i dont have permission, do you know how to change this? i dont want to run x as root
[13:21] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, I've tried unplugging and plugging it back in.  it remapps to the SAME thing, but never shows up in /dev
[13:21] <peabody> I'm using an eee pc 1000, that was originally the debian eeepc release upgraded to eeexubuntu
[13:21] <archman> anyone managed to get xlink kai with psp working?
[13:21] <homy> datta: try right clicking on the file, properties and tell us the file type.
[13:21] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, try sudo umount DEVICE
[13:21] <datta> avi
[13:21] <datta> its avi
[13:21] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, then sudo mount DEVICE
[13:22] <theCat0> whos drunk ?
[13:22] <thrashold> Is the latest Ubuntu ISO on the site bootable?
[13:22] <homy> datta: ok. So you should be able to play it. Otherwise, just google sth like "ubuntu convert avi myotherformat"
[13:22] <kgodwin> thrashold: I do the latest LTS, but I think the latest ISO is bootable
[13:22] <theCat0> think im gonna read some forum posts
[13:22] <SemiApocalyptic> homy: http://pastebin.com/d2cfb09e
[13:22] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, it's not finding either DEVICE or what DEMSG
[13:22] <smtx> mizipzor: hmm probably just give execute rights to the startx-script
[13:22] <smtx> no idea
[13:23] <hspaans> thrashold: why shouldn't it be?
[13:23] <datta> thank you homy, i will try it
[13:23] <smtx> i am not that well experienced with the gui-stuff :(
[13:23] <thrashold> hspaans: It doesn't boot from me... It could be from the PC, I'll try in VirtualBox now
[13:23] <thrashold> s/from/for/
[13:23] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, replace DEVICE with what you found in DEMSG
[13:23] <naughtykid001> hi guys, need hellp on compiling cairomm with g++. I installed the dev package for cairomm and was using pkg-config to compile with g++ but there's error message which said the header file couldn't able to locatee
[13:23] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, I'm thinking this is what's holding Moto4Lin back from connecting.  Is there a way to see where a USB device is mounted?
[13:23] <ede> mizipzor: chmod 774  to get full acces to the script
[13:23] <naughtykid001> anyone please help?
[13:23] <hspaans> thrashold: you're using the iso directly?
[13:23] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, do: lsusb
[13:24] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, tried just the device name, no luck
[13:24] <thrashold> Hm, it booted in VirtualBox
[13:24] <datta> homy, can't i make it into avi?
[13:24] <thrashold> hspaans: well, yes
[13:24] <hspaans> thrashold: may sure you closed the disk
[13:24] <datta> i want to upload the video into youtube
[13:24] <homy> datta: it is avi, as you just told me.
[13:24] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, so, you can do: mount
[13:24] <datta> but its dat too
[13:24] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, and you would see all mounted devices including USB
[13:24] <hspaans> thrashold: o lot of CDs will not boot if you don't close them
[13:25] <homy> SemiApocalyptic: could you paste a few lines before this Sense Key stuff?
[13:25] <e3018_> How much ram do you need your ubuntu 8.10?
[13:25] <rww> !requirements | e3018_
[13:25] <b0xxy> iv got ubuntu runing on 256mb ram
[13:25] <b0xxy> :)
[13:25] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, I tried MOUNT, and it's not listed
[13:26] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, What is the device you try to mount ?
[13:26] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, http://pastebin.com/m12e1f2f7
[13:27] <e3018_> I have a new laptop with 4Gb but I see that a lot of memory is required...
[13:27] <SemiApocalyptic> homy: It's ALL Sense Key stuff, dumped the output to a file and there's ~1700 lines of it and nothing else
[13:27] <hspaans> e3018_: required?
[13:28] <abuyusuf_> e3018_, What let you say that ?
[13:28] <thrashold>
[13:28] <homy> SemiApocalyptic: hm. Maybe you do a search about SenseKey stuff? Sorry, I never experienced sth like that before.
[13:28] <e3018_> Yes 800Mb is the mimimum that I have seen
[13:28] <SemiApocalyptic> homy: No worries, thanks for trying :)
[13:28] <rww> e3018_: Go read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[13:28] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, anything else?  is there a way of mapping what a USB device is plugged into directly to where it's mounted?
[13:28] <homy> How come "free -m" and System Monitor show about 200 mb difference in the currently used ram?
[13:29] <hspaans> e3018_: don't worry, linux does a lot of advanced caching and buffering
[13:29] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, it should appear directly, and should be listed in MOUNT, what i think is there a problem with the device or the USB port in your hardware
[13:30] <Slart> homy: the used column in the +/- buffers row is the same as the number in the system monitor for me
[13:30] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, I've trued this phone on my other systems, and on this one (but under windows), and it works
[13:30] <homy> Slart: oh, yeah, I was looking at the Mem: line.
[13:30] <Terabytte1> If I'm on a live boot from a USB drive, is there any way to save changes on it for the next reboot?
[13:30] <mizipzor> ede: still not authorized to start it
[13:31] <Slart> homy: ah.. that's without all the buffers used for caching files and stuff
[13:31] <Slart> homy: or rather.. the mem line includes those
[13:31] <homy> Slart: so actually, only the memory indicated by the Mem: line is available, but if different buffers are cleared (which isn't bad), as much as given in the +/- ... line is available?
[13:32] <Slart> homy: right.. and the buffers are cleared automatically if a process needs more memory
[13:32] <homy> Slart: thanks.
[13:32] <mizipzor> if the system says my user isnt authorized to run startx, what permissions must i give?
[13:32] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, open your "Places" menu, you don't see it there ?
[13:32] <Slart> homy: you're welcome
[13:32] <mizipzor> something about a .Xauthority file
[13:32] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, no.
[13:34] <hspaans> mizipzor: post it on pastebin
[13:34] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, Do you detect any CPU activity while plugging the device ?
[13:34] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, not really.  this is a 2.4Gx Dual
[13:35] <abuyusuf_> jeeves_Moss, i see, i don't know in real, that should work !, sorry, try asking someone else, may be have some another solution
[13:35] <QaDeS> when i plug my device, i never detect.......ah, whatever
[13:36] <jeeves_Moss> abuyusuf_, thanks again for your help
[13:36] <luddite> is ubuntu with a wubi install slower than a clean install?
[13:36] <homy> !wubi
[13:36] <abuyusuf_> QaDeS, Can you tell more about what you face ?
[13:36] <mizipzor> hspaans: hmm, the errors are printed to screen, how to grep that so that i can pastebinit?
[13:36] <homy> luddite: yes, a bit
[13:36] <luddite> homy - do you know why?
[13:37] <homy> luddite: well, ubuntu doesn't have its own partition
[13:37] <QaDeS> abuyusuf_: too private ;o)
[13:37] <luddite> i have it on a pc with dual core 2.5Ghz and its slower than my single core 1.83Ghz laptop
[13:37] <ssapphiree> hey all )
[13:37] <mizipzor> is there a log somewhere about everything that has been printed to screen?
[13:38] <homy> luddite: see the faq at http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php:              What is the performance?              The performance is identical to a standard installation, except for hard-disk access which is slightly slower than an installation to a dedicated partition. If your hard disk is very fragmented the performance will degenerate.
[13:38] <Maggie> Can one install Kde ans Xfce desktop environment in Ubuntu ?
[13:38] <ssapphiree> Can anyone tell me, what wi-fi adapter is better to buy, if I want it to be easy to use Master mode? )
[13:39] <amitprakash> hi.. where can i find my config.gz for the kernel??
[13:39] <homy> Maggie: yes: try "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" for kde and xfce
[13:39] <chipt4> erm, you mean kubuntu and xubuntu, maggie?
[13:39] <abuyusuf_> amitprakash, try "locate config.gz"
[13:39] <luddite> my - ok - that might be the issue
[13:39] <hspaans> Maggie: yes
[13:39] <luddite> :-) - i will get this install working perfect then do a fresh install on another partition
[13:40] <luddite> homy - thanks
[13:40] <Maggie> chipt4, no ....I mean only the desktop envitonments
[13:40] <hspaans> minipzor: add "1> output.txt 2>&1" to your command
[13:40] <homy> luddite: you're welcome
[13:40] <mizipzor> hspaans: thx
[13:40] <hspaans> amitprakash: in /boot
[13:40] <Maggie> hspaans, how do u do it without apt-get
[13:41] <homy> Maggie: apt-get install kde ?
[13:41] <chipt4> Maggie: ah, ok. to do it without aptitude, you'll have to get the source & compile it yourself, i suppose
[13:41] <Maggie> @homy, how to do it without apt-get
[13:41] <homy> Maggie: sudo aptitude install kde :) ?
[13:42] <hspaans> Maggie: apt-get is your package manager interface
[13:42] <Maggie> hspaans, yes
[13:42] <rww> Maggie: why do you want to do it without apt-get?
[13:43] <mizipzor> hspaans: what... when running that command to catch the error message, it started. strange, ill try a reboot and see what happens
[13:43] <homy> Maggie: maybe you want a gui? Then use system->Administration->Synaptic
[13:43] <homy> but anyway, bye now.
[13:44] <Maggie> rrw, Coz i dont know why but i am not able to dwnload anything usin package manager and apt-get
[13:44] <Maggie> rww, Coz i dont know why but i am not able to dwnload anything usin package manager and apt-get
[13:45] <hspaans> Maggie: you should fix that first, post those errors on pastebin
[13:45] <rww> Maggie: okay. I'd strongly suggest that we work through and fix those problems so that you can use the package manager, because doing it otherwise will make a huge mess at best.
[13:45] <Maggie> okkk
[13:45]  * Dexi forgets how to update to intrepid
[13:46] <rww> Maggie: Okay. The easiest way to figure this out will be if I give you some commands to run in the terminal, and you paste them into pastebin and give me the link.
[13:46] <rww> !upgrade | Dexi
[13:46] <Maggie> but how can i download it when package manager and apt-get doesnt download anythin
[13:46] <rww> Maggie: because we're going to fix the package manager so it *does* download stuff.
[13:46] <psycocyst> is needs some help with ltsp using kde and usb printing.
[13:47] <Maggie> rww, how can i fix package manager?
[13:47] <RizR> may be a bit off topic (related to beagle search). I got 0.3.8 on intrepid and it's using an insane amount of memory. 1.2GB or so.
[13:47] <RizR> anyone with similar issues?
[13:48] <hspaans> Maggie: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and post it to pastebin
[13:48] <hspaans> !pastebin
[13:48] <rww> Maggie: Now. run the following commands one after another in the terminal, and copy-paste all of the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give me the link it gives you: "sudo apt-get check" "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[13:48] <rww> Maggie: the output of those commands will give us a basic idea of what's going wrong here.
[13:48] <luddite> when i boot into ubuntu it halts at "checking battery state" - how can i get it to skip/cancel that step

[13:50] <luddite> is the sound down?
[13:50] <Dexi> so far, never
[13:50] <Dexi> luddite, amarok plays fine

[13:57] <siccness> Dexi: what version of Ubuntu?
[13:57] <Maggie> @rww, yeah very odd
[13:57] <rww> Maggie: well, I guess we can answer your original question then... sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE4, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop for Xfce
[13:57] <hspaans> by-pass^: gnome-backgrounds
[13:58] <Dexi> suc 8.04 upping to intrepid.
[13:58] <munim> !ubuntu-artwork
[13:58] <Maggie> @rww, now its working all right
[13:58] <by-pass^> thanks, hspaans
[13:58] <rww> Igramul: System > Preferences > Sessions, and add an entry for it there.
[13:58] <rww> Igramul: (assuming you're using GNOME)
[13:58] <Igramul> rww: Thanks.
[13:58] <Dexi> i think it works a lot better on intrepid
[13:59] <Dexi> i had intrepid yesterday but i messed it up trying to switch to KDE
[13:59] <Maggie> @rww ,will these commands install Kde or kubuntu?
[13:59] <psycocyst> @dexi did you install from Synaptic adobe-flashplugin or did you install from firefox?
[13:59] <Dexi> psycocyst, from firefox
[13:59] <rww> Maggie: Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE.
[13:59] <Dexi> went to pandora.com and clicked "Install missing plugin"
[14:00] <psycocyst> @dexi check in synaptic if it is install on your system?
[14:00] <siccness> Dexi: check the firefoxrc file
[14:00] <siccness> I can't remember the location of that particular rc file
[14:00] <siccness> so just do an updatedb
[14:00] <siccness> and use locate
[14:00] <unanxbt> If I install kde, does my gnome menu contains kde software?
[14:00] <rww> unanxbt: yes
[14:00] <Dexi> psycocyst, flash is installed because the vids play but no sound... i think im going to upgrade to intrepid and see if that doesnt fix it... im pretty sure it will
[14:00] <Neulix> join #ubuntu-de
[14:01] <Dexi> gonna crawl in bed while that downloads
[14:01] <unanxbt> rww, then how can i install kde so that the gnome does not affect by it?
[14:01] <siccness> and also Dexi, you dont want KDE.
[14:01] <savid> Can anyone explain why this is happening?   http://i42.tinypic.com/33xwuue.jpg     http://i43.tinypic.com/2i20ykn.jpg
[14:01] <siccness> :)
[14:01] <Dexi> siccness, no kidding!!!
[14:01] <Maggie> rww: will I be able to switch between desktop environments?
[14:01] <abuyusuf_> unanxbt, yes you'll be able to use them
[14:01] <Dexi> it is a mess
[14:01] <rww> unanxbt: I don't know of a way to do that.  Both kdm (KDE login manager) and gdm (GNOME login manager) have options to log into either GNOME or kde
[14:02] <unanxbt> Does anyone know?
[14:02] <Maggie> rww ,thanx
[14:02] <russell__> Hello
[14:02] <deagle> unanxbt: you should just be able to install the kde desktop and it'll will show up as an option when you log in
[14:03] <russell__> Question: on a new hard drive do you think it would be "better" to install ubuntu or windows first in a dual boot system?
[14:03] <siccness> windows
[14:03] <abuyusuf_> russell__, Windows
[14:03] <russell__> windows xp
[14:03] <psycocyst> windows
[14:03] <Neulix> join #ubuntu-de
[14:04] <siccness> russell__: or if you wanted to be cool, just install linux.
[14:04] <unanxbt> deagle, no, i mean that how can i install so that the gnome menu does not mess up with kde softwares and also kde menu does not mess up with gnome softwares?
[14:04] <russell__> why is that so?
[14:04] <siccness> leave windows on another machine :P
[14:04] <siccness> russell__: because Microsoft are arrogant, basically.
[14:04] <abuyusuf_> russell__, because windows do clear the MBR and set it to boot Windows-Systems only
[14:04] <HomingHamster> is there an ubuntu seen bot?
[14:04] <abuyusuf_> russell__, so your linux will dissapear !
[14:05] <Neulix> joi #ubuntu-de
[14:05] <J-_> Currently I'm running Hardy, trying to configure /etc/hosts on my LAMP server, but when I go to my domain.com from my computer from the same network, the website won't show up. How can I configure /etc/hosts/ to let me show my site on my local network?
[14:06] <phnom> Neulix, it's '/join #ubuntu-de' :P Remember the slash, forget the quotes
[14:06] <deagle> unanxbt: by "mess up with" what do you mean?
[14:06] <siccness> J-_: what?
[14:06] <psycocyst> @j-_ best thing to do would be to iinstall webmin
[14:06] <russell__> does linux offer any triple monitor support?
[14:06] <deagle> as far as I know, you can run both (just obviously not at the same time... unless you run separate gdms... nevermind)
[14:06] <Neulix> @ phno.. thx
[14:06] <siccness> J-_: are you able to ping the hostname?
[14:07] <abuyusuf_> russell__, not tried that, but i'm working now on dual-monitor and it works fine
[14:07] <siccness> and returns the correct IP address?
[14:07] <r3dux> J-_, have you looked at your apache config?
[14:07] <siccness> and then secondly
[14:07] <siccness> is it correctly configured under apache?
[14:07] <abuyusuf_> russell__, i think it can handle more than two also
[14:07] <r3dux> i.e. make sure the ip set in the config is the one you're trying to access
[14:07] <siccness> and thirdly, is your nsswitch config setup to handle hosts or dns first?
[14:07] <russell__> abuyusuf_: yeah I had a dual mon. setup, but 2 days b4 the newyear my house was broken into
[14:07] <J-_> siccness: I'll see if I can ping it. Not sure if it's correctly configure under apache. It should be? I remember back in Dapper I had no problem like this.
[14:08] <russell__> everything of value was stolen
[14:08] <J-_> siccness: I can ping it.
[14:08] <abuyusuf_> abuyusuf_, sorry for that !, and you want now to do a triple-monitor system with linux ?
[14:08] <siccness> step 2, check your nsswitch.conf file
[14:09] <siccness> just so you're not hittin dns
[14:09] <bamball> hi all. Can an existing x-session be connected to from a different host?
[14:09] <J-_> siccness: Where is it? /etc/nsswitch.conf?
[14:09] <siccness> bingo
[14:09] <J-_> :)
[14:09] <r3dux> J-_,  ping != http access... the machine might be up but httpd.conf could still be shagged -- more info, mate!
[14:09] <russell__> abuyusuf: yeah the stole the hdtv so I was thinking about a triple monitor setup and use one of the monitors as a tv sometimes
[14:09] <siccness> r3dux: basic troubleshooting first
[14:09] <r3dux> nods @ siccness
[14:10] <emt> How can I "lock" gnome wallpaper?
[14:10] <]Oblivion[> ciao a tutti
[14:10] <J-_> siccness: what am I looking for in /etc/nsswitch.conf?
[14:10] <siccness> which is first, dns or hosts
[14:11] <thrashold> Is it possible to start Smart Boot Manager from lilo?
[14:11] <r3dux> emt - you could chmod 000 the bit of gnome that allows it to change wallpapers - that way only root would be able to change
[14:11] <abuyusuf_> russell__, no problem, just plug them in, and it should work with no extra actions, just change what you need in "System > Preferences > Screen Resolution"
[14:11] <thrashold> Or from a USB drive?
[14:11] <spy_irssi> exit
[14:11] <deagle> could someone help me figure out how to set a gtk theme engine and all apps use the same one? ever since i started using gtk-chtheme it seems that some apps don't know which engine it's supposed to be using
[14:11] <J-_> hosts: then networks: no dns:
[14:11] <emt> r3dux: How exactly?
[14:12] <siccness> J-_: ok awesome
[14:12] <siccness> is apache actually running?
[14:12] <unanxbt> deagle, i mean the gnome (or kde) menu automatically adds softwares of the other desktop environment
[14:12] <abuyusuf_> deagle, that apps you talk abut, running under the same user or another one ?
[14:12] <J-_> siccness: Yes. I can go onto my website from my local IP
[14:12] <yabuk> what program can record from my display? (to make tutorials :) )
[14:12] <deagle> abuyusuf: same user
[14:12] <deagle> abuyusuf: salaam alaykum :)
[14:12] <siccness> ok, IP address works but not through hostname?
[14:12] <r3dux> emt - google. You know what to do now - just find out how.
[14:13] <]Oblivion[> cè qualche italiano?
[14:13] <r3dux> emt - find out which bit of gnome to restrict. I don't know, or use gnome.
[14:13] <J-_> siccness: My WAN IP doesn't work.
[14:13] <m0rph3u5> hi
[14:13] <abuyusuf_> deagle, Wa 3alikom el salam :) Welcome
[14:14] <deagle> eid mobarak
[14:14] <emt> Pessulus at least can't lock wallpaper
[14:14] <J-_> hmm
[14:15] <abuyusuf_> !italian | ]Oblivion[
[14:15] <deagle> the weird thing is that gnome-settings-daemon IS working :\
[14:15] <dillzz> can somebody please troubleshoot an atheros network card in kubuntu 8.04 32 bit?
[14:15] <r3dux> emt - windows can take a copy of wallpaper you set and call it "WindowsWallpaper.bmp" or some such - if linux is any the same you could find that file, and restrict it - but... lin prolly doesn't. It's wallpaper.
[14:15] <J-_> siccness: I mean, from my network my WAN IP doesn't go to my website. www.bytebind.com work outside my LAN on other networks.
[14:16] <r3dux> dillzz - sounds like you need to get your reading on.
[14:17] <dillzz> r3dux, I have read am on at a loss
[14:17] <r3dux> siccness, then www.bytebind.com is on DNS or hardcoded to your route on your system
[14:17] <r3dux> I mean IP, not route. Soz.
[14:17] <dillzz> card shows enabled its an old atheros ar5212 but it will not connect nor scan
[14:18] <r3dux> What driver do you expect it to use?
[14:18] <r3dux> modprobe | grep <driver you expect>     ???
[14:18] <dillzz> it uses the ath driver
[14:18] <dillzz> through restricted driver manager etc
[14:18] <r3dux> so "modprobe | grep ath"
[14:19] <dillzz> you mean lsmod?
[14:19] <r3dux> Hold on... lsmod
[14:19] <r3dux> lsmod :) ---- sorry
[14:19] <dillzz> lol ok!
[14:20] <dillzz> yes it loads all ath drivers, eg: ath_rate_sample, ath_pci, wlan, ath_hal
[14:20] <r3dux> Hmmm
[14:20] <dillzz> sudo iwlist scan shows ath0 No scan results . . . .
[14:20] <dillzz> have intel card on other laptop working perfect
[14:20] <dillzz> so not a configuration issue
[14:20] <r3dux> I would honestly google this hard...
[14:21] <r3dux> I don't think anyone here will have the same prob or experience w/
[14:21] <dillzz> just got this laptop for free and usually stick to intel etc . . .
[14:21] <r3dux> Don't forget google groups... can be useful.
[14:21] <noobkz> hi everybody .
[14:21] <dillzz> tried checking, does the kernel now support atheros stack by default without compile of madwifi?
[14:21] <dillzz> i thought newer kernels did . . .
[14:22] <r3dux> shrugs - intel wifi - works off the bat
[14:22] <dillzz> hehe - yes it does, its wonderful - this is a pain...alright just wanted to check the room
[14:23] <abuyusuf_> noobkz, Can we help ?
[14:24] <karmaez> ciao a tutti! ho installato ubuntu 8.10 assieme a xp all'avvio mi dice frequenza non supportata e dopo aver fatto una specie di controllo finalmente parte, c'è qualcuno che sa dirmi come fare per ovviare a questo inconveniente? GRAZIE

[14:33] <r3dux> littlewookie - sudo apt-get apt-file
[14:33] <littlewookie> r3dux: it would be nice if the pakage were in the repos
[14:33] <cojones_> hey guys, i upgraded pidgin to a package from getdeb and that broke my musictracker plugin. i did a remove --purge for pidgin, pidgin-data and pidgin-musictracker and reinstalled from repos but musictracker is still stuck on the same song and refuses to update
[14:34] <cojones_> any ideas? (the purge remove didn't manage to remove my config settings for pidgin or musictracker)
[14:34] <littlewookie> No candidate version found for libqt3c102-mt
[14:34] <r3dux> littlewookie - apt-file should be in the repos - then you use "apt-file search <NAME OF FILE>
[14:34] <r3dux> littlewookie - perhaps you need to expand you repos if it's not a standard file...
[14:36] <cyd> Hi there, do someone know a software that can replace CUBIC and run on linux ? Or is there a way to run cubic on linux ?
[14:36] <Coggz> hey guys... i have just rewired my xbox controller to usb, now how do i map those inputs to keys for gams...
[14:36] <littlewookie>  Coggz what xbox controller?
[14:36] <dr_willis> Coggz,  depends on the game.   Check the game menus/options
[14:38] <Slart> cyd: and CUBIC os?
[14:38] <spycon9988> is there any application which can extract from a .bin file?
[14:38] <Slart> cyd: *is

[14:38] <jwjones1706> the only trouble i have is my blue-ray drive is fried
[14:38] <Slart> spycon9988: well.. you could convert it to an iso.. (if it's that kind of .bin file)
[14:38] <jwjones1706> is there any other way of putting unbuntu on the hdd?
[14:38] <Coggz> ok it is a standard gamepad, and is recognised in jstest, but how do i map to keys...
[14:38] <spycon9988> how?
[14:39] <dr_willis> spycon9988,  .bin is 'vague' what is the file supposed tobe? a cd/dvd image? a Executable?
[14:39] <spycon9988> dr_willis : a cd image
[14:40] <dr_willis> spycon9988,   there are bin/cue to iso converter tools out.. then you could mount the .iso image  and get to the files on it
[14:40] <dr_willis> !cue
[14:40] <dr_willis> !bin
[14:40] <J-_> yIn /etc/resolv.conf, do I have to specify 'nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>'?
[14:40] <dr_willis>  bchunk or some app can convert bin to iso
[14:40] <joe_she> hhhh
[14:41] <dr_willis> bchunk - CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr
[14:41] <spycon9988> dr_willis: can u name some tools?
[14:41] <jwjones1706> i guess not then
[14:41] <dr_willis> spycon9988,  i just did

[14:53] <dr_willis> Stalker72,  the exact process can vary depending on the wureless chipset in the thing.
[14:53] <Computech> Does someone know if there is an option in virtualbox that you can control virtual machine's through the internet like vmware server has?
[14:53] <jwjones1706> would i be able to do it by hooking the drive into my desktop?

[14:54] <dr_willis> jwjones1706,  I doubt it. The PS3 hard drive  layout is a bit special..  Plus I dident thinkthe ps3 used a normal ubuntu install (x86) version. It uses PPC i think
[14:54] <leachim6> yeah...it's got the Cell proc remember
[14:54] <dr_willis> wasent tehre a special PS3 Ubuntu unofficial release/iso.

[14:57] <jwjones1706> well i have the ubuntu i need for install on a ps3 hdd
[14:57] <Stalker72> ortsvorsteher: Btw, it says that I have to install ndiswrapper in this guide: http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/howto-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-pavilion-dv2000-dv6000-dv9000-series-laptops#wireless

[14:58] <ortsvorsteher> Stalker72: so try to find out in which sources you find ndiswrapper.
[14:58] <r3dux> I haven't had to use ndiswrapper for many years..
[14:58] <dr_willis> Stalker72,  be sure to check for newer docs.. a lot of the old docs suggest ndiswrappers - thats not needed any more. You may want to check thubuntu forums for your specific laptop/chipset

[15:09] <Zombie> Looks like you corrupted your root.
[15:09] <ardchoille> cyd: oh, no, never done that.. I've only used it for personal finanace management.
[15:10] <Whitor> ardchoille, its always an option
[15:11] <cyd> ardchoille & Slart: do you know some other software names i can look into ?
[15:11] <Whitor> I use linux on my primary computer... I'm trying to help a friend out here
[15:11] <Whitor> he was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 and all hell let loose
[15:11] <ardchoille> Whitor: ok
[15:11] <Whitor> I have a cli, I can edit files... I just don't know where to start
[15:11] <ardchoille> cyd: open a terminal and do some searching:  "apt-cache search finance" or "apt-cache search budget"
[15:11] <punkrockguy318> Whenever scrolling in firefox, my CPU usage skyrockets to 100% and pictures load extremely slow.  If I am playing any audio while I am scrolling, it will skip.  I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 x64 on a nvidia video card, what can I do?
[15:12] <cyd> ok
[15:12] <Slart> cyd: grisbi, eqonomize homebank are a few.. I would recommend then in that order
[15:12] <ardchoille> !terminal | Whitor
[15:12] <cyd> thank you
[15:12] <Slart> !money
[15:12] <ardchoille> yeah, grisbi is good too
[15:12] <punkrockguy318> if only more of the world coudl be like ubottu
[15:13] <erUSUL> punkrockguy318: what driver are you using ??
[15:13] <punkrockguy318> erUSUL: proprietary nvidia-new
[15:13] <Whitor> ardchoille, No X. cant get in ... I have to use ctrl-alt-F1 to get a terminal
[15:13] <punkrockguy318> don't forget about GNUcash for finance
[15:13] <ardchoille> Whitor: ctrl+alt+f1 is all some of us ever use ;)
[15:13] <erUSUL> punkrockguy318: i use nvidia propietary drivers and do not have such isssues... hoping you were using plain nv
[15:14] <jeeves_Moss> can anyone reccomend any good reading on setting up a DNS server in Ubuntu?  I'm looking to get a better understanding of the setup, how to configure, etc before I attempt it
[15:14] <punkrockguy318> erUSUL: it's strange someone on a forum i post on is having the exact same issue on Ubuntu 8.10 and the nvida driver, he has a 8800 GT
[15:14] <cyd> grisbi and gnucash, seems to be for personal use, i'm looking for something pro
[15:15] <ardchoille> Whitor: you can do email, web browsing, irc, instant messaging, file management, videos and more all in tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1)
[15:15] <Whitor> If I use the 2.6.27-11 kernel it won't boot at all... If I choose the 2.6.24-22 kernel IT boots, but I don't have any control in X
[15:16] <Whitor> ardchoille, I am familiar with the cli, just not with how to resolve this problem
[15:17] <ardchoille> Whitor: what exactly is the probloem?
[15:18] <Whitor> Hi. I had a system running flawlessly on 8.04, Decided to upgrade to 8.10. FAIL - the upgrade looked like it went fine, but upon reboot, I get a message: Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
[15:18] <user01> is there a searchable log for this channel?
[15:18] <Whitor> repost from above
[15:19] <Whitor> but if I choose an older kernel, I can get it to boot
[15:19] <Whitor> but I have no control in X
[15:19] <Zombie> I have seen this on Mandriva systems.
[15:19] <metbsd> can ubuntu server cd used for desktop installation?
[15:19] <Slart> user01: yes.. perhaps in the irc info pages from the topic
[15:19] <piksi> Whitor: that error has been documented years ago with many ubuntu updates
[15:19] <Zombie> Yes,
[15:19] <metbsd> can ubuntu server cd used for desktop installation??
[15:20] <faemir> Can someone tell me how to make the main toolbar in nautilus smaller? (the one with back, forward, up, stop, etc)
[15:20] <abuyusuf_> metbsd, just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[15:20] <Whitor> piksi, so you are familiar with the solution ?
[15:20] <Omar87> I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please?
[15:21] <abuyusuf_> Omar87, What about another sounds on your system, can hear any sound from any another action ?
[15:21] <metbsd> abuyusuf_, but server iso can install minimum?
[15:21] <Whitor> I have found on the official ubuntu forums - the same issue as recently as November. With no solution listed
[15:21] <piksi> Whitor: iirc usually it's due to grub trying to access wrong partition uuid so check out what's the uuid of your /boot and then modify grub menu.lst to point to the correct partition. if the error appears already before grub menu then you have propably crap in MBR and just need to rewrite mbr with correct info
[15:21] <Slart> Omar87: doesn't audacity use oss? I don't know how to fix it though
[15:21] <abuyusuf_> metbsd, sure
[15:21] <Omar87> abuyusuf_: Everything else works like a charm.
[15:22] <scott8035> I have an external monitor hooked up to my laptop, and I'm using both screens. Everything works fine EXCEPT the external monitors screen is partly duplicated onto the right edge of the laptop screen. Is there some magic trick to make this go away?
[15:22] <Whitor> piksi, yeah, I checked that, root=(0,1)- is correct, boots with older kernels
[15:22] <craigbass1976> I just wanted to share that I feel dirty... Installed IE6 on ubuntu and wondered if anyone could pat me on the pack and tell me everything will be ok...
[15:22] <abuyusuf_> Omar87, OK, Check for what Audacity uses, OSS Or what ?
[15:23] <Whitor> uuid ... hm, I don't know how to check that
[15:23] <piksi> craigbass1976: it won't, you need to commit seppuku
[15:23] <Omar87> Slart, abuyusuf_: At another thread on Launchpad, they say it uses, JACK.
[15:23] <craigbass1976> piksi, eh?
[15:23] <thiebaude> craigbass1976: is it slow on ubuntu
[15:23] <Whitor> How to I verify proper UUID for the grub menu ?
[15:23] <Omar87> Slart, abuyusuf_L However, JACK doesn't even exist on my machine.
[15:23] <piksi> Whitor: boot to rescue mode on cd, mount your file systems and check /dev/disk/by-* directories and their contents and fstab contents
[15:24] <craigbass1976> thiebaude, this box is kind of a turd anyway
[15:24] <Whitor> piksi, What am I checking for ?
[15:24] <piksi> Whitor: and after that check if menu.lst has correct uuid (the long string of dashes, letters and numbers)
[15:24] <Slart> Omar87: jack is .. a replacement for esd I think.. I don't think it's available in ubuntu, no
[15:24] <abuyusuf_> Omar87, apt-get install jack
[15:24] <abuyusuf_> Omar87, apt-get install jackd
[15:24] <abuyusuf_> Omar87, the last command i sent, that should install JACK
[15:24] <craigbass1976> piksi, googled seppuku.  harhar.
[15:24] <Slart> Omar87: oh.. listen to abuyusuf_ instead.. he seems to know what hes' talking about
[15:24] <Enselic> The guest user can restart X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace just fine, but me (the normal user) can't. I assume this has to do with wrong xkb mapping somehow, but I'm not sure where to start. Any clues?
[15:25]  * unop pats craigbass1976 on the back saying,  "it will all be ok in the end, you'll have reverted to something saner" :)
[15:25] <Omar87> Slart, abuyusuf_: Yeah, however, the first command seems to work too.
[15:25] <craigbass1976> as soon as idiots stop using, and making site that only work in it... I'll be much happier
[15:26] <abuyusuf_> Omar87, Good news, after install complete, retry with Audacity
[15:26] <unop> craigbass1976, i just tend to change the UA strings on firefox to masquerade as IE -- and most sites work fine
[15:26] <Whitor> I have three long strings of numbers in /dev/disk/by-UUID/
[15:26] <Slart> Omar87: jack (without the 'd') seems to be some kind of mp3/ogg ripper
[15:27] <Whitor> How do I determine which one ic the correct one?
[15:27] <scott8035> jack isn't a ripper
[15:27] <Whitor> ic = is
[15:27] <scott8035> it's a way of connecting audio channels together
[15:27] <bruloo> Hey Alfred, I've got a bone for you!
[15:27] <mgolisch> it aims to be a ultra low latency sound server
[15:27] <Slart> !info jack | scott8035
[15:27] <Vlad> Anyone got a clue why Ubuntu doesnt go full screen on VirtualBox ?
[15:27] <abuyusuf_> !info jackd
[15:28] <craigbass1976> OMG... IE in linux even has the pop up experience I forgot about...
[15:28] <abuyusuf_> so isaid jackd not jack
[15:28] <bruloo> hello
[15:28] <Katangawise> Hi all! Anybody knows how can i change splash image? No by terminal but in GUI tools? I have Gnome..
[15:28] <theCat0> craigbass1976, I wouldn't bother with IE
[15:29] <abuyusuf_> Katangawise, System > Administration > Login Window
[15:29] <craigbass1976> it is really turdy.  I think I'll pass--use someone windows box to test sites I make...
[15:29] <craigbass1976> See y'all alter
[15:29] <craigbass1976> later. Don't alter...
[15:30] <Katangawise> abuyusuf_, I didn't see this option (change splash) in Ligin Window.. Are you sure?
[15:30] <Vlad> z
[15:30] <bruloo> katangawise: In Session Manager there is an option for the splash screen
[15:30] <Whitor> piksi,  in grub/menu.lst The root UUID of the failing kernel option is the same as all the other (older semi-working) kernel options
[15:30] <abuyusuf_> Katangawise, Switch to the tab called "Local"
[15:31] <abuyusuf_> Katangawise, look there and choose what you want
[15:32] <bruloo> oops! I goofed
[15:32] <scott8035> I have an external monitor hooked up to my laptop, and I'm using both screens. Everything works fine EXCEPT the external monitor's screen is partly duplicated onto the right edge of the laptop screen. Is there some magic trick to make this go away?
[15:32] <Katangawise> abuyusuf_, Ah.. No, it's login windows!! I spoke about splash screen. Images at boot time..:) Thanks a lot!
[15:33] <Katangawise> brulioo, Thanks a lot!! :)
[15:33] <abuyusuf_> Katangawise, sorry, ok
[15:33] <MoLoot> scott8035: r u using gnome?
[15:34] <scott8035> yes
[15:34] <zelexus> scott8035: try the "Monitor Resolution Settings"?
[15:34] <piksi> Whitor: ok, and is the line above it that only says "uuid blahblahblahblah" the uuid of the boot partition you see in fstab?
[15:34] <Zombie> Is anyone familiar with the Dell Inspiron E1505/6400 Bluetooth module? I can't seem to get mine working.
[15:34] <MoLoot> scott8035: System -> Prefreences -> Screen Resolution.  Drag the monitor boxes to the appropirate location.
[15:35] <Zombie> Radio Status for Bluetooth:
[15:35] <Zombie>         Bluetooth supported
[15:35] <Zombie>         Bluetooth not installed
[15:35] <Zombie>         Bluetooth enabled
[15:35] <FloodBot2> Zombie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:35] <piksi> Zombie: use pastebin god damnit
[15:35] <Squizmek> is there a command to quickly install BerkeleyDB?
[15:35] <Zombie> Sorry.
[15:35] <bruloo> Katangawise: Did you find it?
[15:35] <scott8035> zelexus, i assume you mean "monitor resolution settings"...they are correctly set at 1280x800 and 1280x1024
[15:35] <Whitor> piksi, yes, the other one I see is the swap
[15:35] <Katagia> HI. I'Ve just installed ubuntu 8.10 32bit version. Iwant to use a 1920x1080 lcd with my nvidia card. The problem is there is some kind of overscan mode active. All Screenborders are outside the visible area as well as the upper and buttom menus. How can I make the screen fit?
[15:35] <saler> <Katangawise,http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/08/22/how-to-change-splash-screen-in-ubuntu/

[15:36] <bruloo> Katagia: does your monitor have a push button menus system that can adjust the screen automatically?
[15:36] <amjed> guys
[15:36] <amjed> I want install java
[15:36] <piksi> Whitor: ok, then i suggest you boot to rescue mode from the cd and run grub to update mbr and everything to ensure it's set up correclty. if that doesn't work then i can't remember what the error could be. the last time i ran to that error was with ubuntu 5 and 6
[15:37] <piksi> amjed: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:37] <Katagia> bruloo: There is no way to adjust the lcd itself. It's only possible to change brithness etc. but nothing else
[15:37] <Whitor> piksi, ew. ok thx
[15:37] <Katagia> In Windows there is a slider to adjust the screen
