[00:00] <eli_> I tried downloading it on a windows box but that was a bunch of fail (can't install a svn client; no admin) I really just want the file without going through this many loops
[00:00] <nikrud> IntuitiveNipple, old, yes that makes sense. Time to add one then I'd guess
[00:00] <hbekel> JPSman: you might try editing the registry it via regedit in wine
[00:00] <Brandano> IntuitiveNipple: does find work in the /dev/ tree?
[00:00] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: except that it also returns /dev/dm-*
[00:00] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: There are many ways to do it, it depends on what dependencies you have to abide by, and more importantly, how thorough and how many corner-cases you have have to catch
[00:00] <eli_> Tried it on a linux box and it still won't download
[00:00] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: but that's ok, I'm just piping these results into partimage so if it finds a partition it can't work with it'll just discard it and move on.
[00:00] <JPSman> hbekel: it loads wines registry :OD
[00:00] <JPSman> flx_ THANK YOU
[00:01] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Okay, got you.
[00:01] <yaesu> hello
[00:01] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: heh yeah it's funny.. sometimes I'll come in and ask a question and no one has any answers or even any ideas as to where to look...but then sometimes there are more ways to do it than there are letters in the alphabet ;)
[00:01] <Brandano> eli_: you don't really need admin to run an SVN client on win32, you just need it fto install the shell integration
[00:01] <IntuitiveNipple> Brandano: It works anywhere you've got sufficient permissions
[00:01] <Brandano> eli_: commandline svn should work fine
[00:01] <l337ingDisorder> So many thanks for this, looks like precisely what I'll need
[00:02] <Brandano> IntuitiveNipple: I was jus wondering why you went to the bother of a for loop just to echo stuff on the screen :)
[00:02] <eli_> right but restricted Internet hates it, the msi files goes though tho
[00:02] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Yeah... I've been dealing with some scripts tha thave to do similar stuff in the initial ramdisk, so I've learned to not take all the tools and udev-created links for granted :)
[00:02] <ActionParsnip1> l337ingDisorder: it has happened but i'm sure we'll be able to help in some way :D
[00:02] <JPSman> flx_: how about using wines regedit to loads my partitions registry?  is there such a file?
[00:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Brandano: I was just demonstrating one use of the shell glob/regexp to find all partitions, that was the subject of the question
[00:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Brandano: 'find' might not be available in all circumstances
[00:03] <flx_> JPSman: I'm not sure, I don't have Windows =p
[00:03] <unop> l337ingDisorder,  for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done  # is a redundant way of writing  \ls /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}
[00:03] <ActionParsnip1> JPSman: you can run regedit from recovery console in windows, you just gotta know exactly what keys you are editining and where they are in nthe registry
[00:03] <eli_> like i just want the file. I should'nt have to go through this. (would pay someone for a windows port of Ctorrent)
[00:03] <eli_> http://www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp
[00:04] <ActionParsnip1> !torrents
[00:04] <ActionParsnip1> !torrent
[00:04] <IntuitiveNipple> unop: Yeah, my point with the example was that you can so *anything* you want with each device name inside the loop
[00:04] <JPSman> ActionParsnipl: yeah, and i am no where near that leet.  I am burning a virus out and I need access to this other website that perfectly points to its evil
[00:04] <eli_> tested most of them. I need to create a custom app that uses bittorrent
[00:04] <Brandano> H,, Azureus now is called vuze
[00:04] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1, what was the gsmgs commandi lost it in logs and dont think i remember correctly
[00:04] <joshjtl> can I install ubuntu via cd boot, then internet install? I've done it on other distros...
[00:05] <Brandano> perhaps the ubottu reply should be amended to include it
[00:05] <ActionParsnip1> eli_: ctorrent is discontinued according to sourceforge
[00:05] <eli_> nothing complicated. How hard can it be to do something so simple? (linux works just fine, its windows that's causing the headache)
[00:05] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: dmesg
[00:05] <KevDog> how do I search my command line history - beyond using up arrow?
[00:05] <bruenig> history | grep
[00:05] <DJNomad> Is there a torrent client similar to utorrent on linux,I loved it
[00:05] <l337ingDisorder> unop: actually it is more helpful than just using the ls command because  I need to run each one through partimage so this way I can just put that into the foreach loop
[00:05] <ActionParsnip1> KevDog: hoistory
[00:06] <eli_> Trying to make a custom app with bittorrent and there are seemingly no window libs
[00:06] <IntuitiveNipple> KevDog: history | grep findthis
[00:06] <ActionParsnip1> KevDog: e.g. history | grep apt
[00:06] <bruenig> IntuitiveNipple: theif
[00:06] <bruenig> ActionParsnip1: theif
[00:06] <ActionParsnip1> Keve.g. history | less
[00:06] <unop> l337ingDisorder, right ok.
[00:06] <bruenig> thief*
[00:06] <hbekel> KevDog: C-r
[00:06] <ActionParsnip1> bruenig: thief?
[00:06] <l337ingDisorder> unop: but I definitely see your point :)
[00:06] <bruenig> indeed
[00:06] <IntuitiveNipple> KevDog: And when you find the command you want, you can repeat it by typing !<number> or bring it down for editing by typing !<number>:p then up-arrow
[00:06] <eli_> So could someone pls tar this cause I can't right now cause of windows fail. http://www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp
[00:07] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1,  that command came back with errors device sdf without a number at all
[00:07] <joshjtl> can I install ubuntu via cd boot, then internet install? I've done it on other distros...
[00:07] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1,  *buch of errors and did not list a number
[00:07] <flx_> eli_: Gimme a mo...
[00:07] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: if you run: sudo fdisk -l it will show you your disks as well as partitions, you can only mount partitions
[00:08] <KevDog> IntuitiveNipple: Nice command -- that was my next question -- however how am I going to remember that!!! Might need an alias
[00:08] <ActionParsnip1> bruenig: why and how am i a thief?
[00:08] <ActionParsnip1> KevDog: man history ;)
[00:08] <IntuitiveNipple> KevDog: Read the bash man-pages: man bash
[00:08] <carpii__> josh -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/Netboot
[00:08] <joshjtl> whoever decides on ubuntu art should really stop
[00:09] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[00:09] <redvamp128> eli_:  It appears as though first you have to compile it then compile bitshark then add something called mono-curses to get a gui. (which you also have to compile) and on their main page they state this (Currently there are no precompiled binaries hosted anywhere. )
[00:09] <carpii__> actually that url is wrong, try this   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet
[00:09] <flx_> eli_: Hokay, they've borked their setup
[00:09] <flx_> eli_: Send them a message or look around
[00:09] <eli_> ugh
[00:09] <joshjtl> ubuntu has got to have the worst artwork of any distro...
[00:10] <joshjtl> thx carpii__
[00:10] <sharef_> is it possible to make a monitor on one computer act as a second display on another networked system??
[00:10] <flx_> joshjtl: Have you ever contributed to it?
[00:10] <carpii__> well the art is easily replaceable, its not like its affecting anything
[00:10] <eli_> Anyone know of a windows lib that can download a torrent program for use within VB or C++?
[00:10] <tom760> Can anyone guide me with instructions how to figure out what old version of Ubuntu to install that would come with or be easilly upgradable to kernel 2.4.21 or 2.4.26?
[00:10] <Bodsda> sharef_, yes
[00:10] <IntuitiveNipple> sharef_: Yes, using xdmx
[00:10] <joshjtl> flx_: yes
[00:10] <cjae> is it going to matter (break nvidia-settings, xorg) if I upgrade my nvidia e-geforce 5200 with a nvidia e-geforce 6200?
[00:10] <ActionParsnip1> sharef_: you could vnc over? is that what you mean?
[00:11] <Bodsda> cjae, unlikely, there both relatively old cards
[00:11] <crdlb> cjae: in the same slot, it will work fine
[00:11] <ActionParsnip1> eli_: if its a windows lib, ask in ##windows
[00:11] <flx_> joshjtl: well then take ti to somewhere appropriate.
[00:11] <joshjtl> default art is supposed to be widely acceptable... it never has been
[00:11] <KevDog> man history == What a dry read!
[00:11] <hbekel> KevDog: Ctrl+r and type 'mount' to get at your last mount command. keep pressing Ctrl+r to move up through all matches
[00:11] <cjae> k thanks just got my disto running near flawlessly so I had to ask
[00:11] <sharef_> nope not vnc, im pretty good at that
[00:12] <l337ingDisorder> unop: IntuitiveNipple: Ok so here's some weirdness.    for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done; echo   that works just fine if I paste it into bash and hit enter.. but if I put it into a bash script and replace the semi-colons with newlines, it just outputs /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}
[00:12] <sharef_> i want my laptop and desktop to share displays and clipboard data
[00:12] <Bodsda> joshjtl, i think your discussing the art issue in the wrong place, try #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-art
[00:12] <nbeebo> hi when im opening a movie with vlc this happens: http://pastebin.com/m5952e2eb
[00:12] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: The semi-colon after the for part in... should remain if you follow it with do
[00:12] <joshjtl> Bodsda: its not offtopic... its ubuntu
[00:12] <nbeebo> and the vlc window shuts down right away
[00:12] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: do is on its own line
[00:12] <Bodsda> joshjtl, yes but it is not a support question which is what this channel is for, so yes it is offtopic
[00:13] <joshjtl> Bodsda: ok i guess your right (I say, begrudgingly)
[00:14] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: unop: http://pastebin.com/m7af5178b
[00:14] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Tested here it works fine
[00:14] <KevDog> hbekel: nice trick also
[00:14] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: http://pastebin.com/d6e60a3ff
[00:15] <Bodsda> joshjtl, thaNKS
[00:15] <Bodsda> oops
[00:16] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: must just be something earlier in the script borking it, cause if I copy and paste the for loop (even multi-line) into bash it works, but the script doesn't (even though everything else is commented out)
[00:16] <ActionParsnip1> nbeebo: --enable-mp4 its a compile option and is default in nthe standard vlc from repos
[00:16] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: I'll start a new one.
[00:16] <l337ingDisorder> Happy 4:20!!!
[00:17] <rpgsimmaster> whoops, a bit vigorous with the closing tabs...
[00:17] <regeya> 6:20 here
[00:17] <Brandano> 1:17 here
[00:17] <rpgsimmaster> 1:20 here
[00:17] <rpgsimmaster> well, yea 1:17
[00:17] <regeya> or 18:20 if you prefer
[00:17] <Brandano> which means my nts isn't working
[00:17] <rpgsimmaster> Brandano: No, mine says the same
[00:17] <l337ingDisorder> then you're late! (or early)... better catch up!! (or get a head start)
[00:17] <regeya> which means it's past time for me to pack up and drive home.  hasta.
[00:18] <nbeebo> ActionParsnip1 oh it would be the same without it, just tried it at the end forgot to post an earlier one, which got the same error message
[00:18] <Brandano> time for me to catch some sleep. Goodnight everyone
[00:18] <tanzib> i'm using usb audio and only my flash sound works, can anyone help?
[00:18] <rpgsimmaster> Anyway, does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to allow me to use both an eth0 and a PPPoE connection at the same time?
[00:18] <unop> l337ingDisorder, you might need to add this line at the beginning of the script.   set -B
[00:18] <ActionParsnip1> nbeebo: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall vlc
[00:18] <hlm> klamav fails to update, I cant figure out what the problem is, can someone help me please?
[00:19] <unop> l337ingDisorder, after the shebang
[00:19] <DVA5912> I have a Dell Axim X5 im in the need to upload some drivers to it for my wireless card. I ahve a windows virual machine installed but i cant get it to see the device. is their a way to upload the drivers on linux to the device?
[00:19] <nbeebo> ActionParsnip1, yeah just made fresh install but ok
[00:19] <vanhacker> hi, dont open volvo ocean race in ubuntu with mozilla
[00:19] <rpgsimmaster> Ones a 'Wired', ones a 'DSL' according to NetworkManager, but when I right click to choose the network, it lists both under 'Wired', and only let me selects one
[00:19] <ActionParsnip1> nbeebo: see if you can find the error in websearches
[00:20] <l337ingDisorder> unop: after the whole #!/bin/bash line or just the shebang itself?
[00:20] <IntuitiveNipple> rpgsimmaster: That's an interesting scenario ... I wonder if the NetworkManager developers thought about that ?
[00:20] <billybigrigger_\> anyone here use an hp mini? or the hp mini ubuntu theme?
[00:20] <vanhacker> how can configure flash for volvo ocean race in mozilla
[00:20] <rpgsimmaster> IntuitiveNipple: It's very annoying - I live on a network campus, and we have two sets of networks
[00:20] <unop> l337ingDisorder, on line #2 :)  i.e. not on the shebang line
[00:20] <rpgsimmaster> we have an ADSL connection, and we have a local system which we like to use Direct Connect for
[00:20] <rpgsimmaster> Windows works fine
[00:20] <nbeebo> ActionParsnip1, ok
[00:21] <rpgsimmaster> Mac doesn't without a certain program, and I can't figure out how to do it in Ubuntu
[00:21] <l337ingDisorder> unop: Oh i see.. tx
[00:21] <unop> l337ingDisorder, you could put it on the shebang like this.    #!/bin/bash -B
[00:21] <rpgsimmaster> unfortunately, I'm a big filesharer, but I can't use both Internet and DC++ at the same time... Does anyone know of a way I could do it manually?
[00:21] <cybercom> i had add another harddrive into my PC, after i put it, i just do the partition and reformat but i cant create any files on the hard disk and ther is only 1 files which named lost+found. so can i solve this issues
[00:21] <rpgsimmaster> Just force Ubuntu to use both?
[00:21] <l337ingDisorder> unop: whassat do anyway? no manpage for set... set --help isn't very helpful ;)
[00:22] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[00:22] <ifroog> Question2, How do you shade a window in gnome?
[00:22] <unop> l337ingDisorder, set is not an external command, it's a shell builtin.   help set
[00:23] <IntuitiveNipple> rpgsimmaster: You could manually configure one interface so NM doesn't try to manage it
[00:23] <DVA5912> Dell Axim X5 Drivers
[00:23] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: man bash: "-B      The  shell performs brace expansion (see Brace Expansion above).  This is on by default."
[00:23] <cybercom> can anyone help me
[00:23] <rpgsimmaster> IntuitiveNipple - Unfortunately I'm not quite sure how to do that. I could do that to my eth0, but how do I stop NM from managing it, and also set it up to automatically connect?
[00:24] <cybercom> i had add another harddrive into my PC, after i put it, i just do the partition and reformat but i cant create any files on the hard disk and ther is only 1 files which named lost+found. so how can i solve this issues
[00:24] <rpgsimmaster> cybercom - reformat it how, and with what?
[00:24] <IntuitiveNipple> rpgsimmaster: If you configure any interface in /etc/network/interfaces that infers it will be manually managed, and NM will leave it alone
[00:24] <sd32> !flash
[00:24] <cybercom> using gparted ..... and format in ext2
[00:25] <looter> If i'm trying to install a program by untarring it first...what directory should it go in?
[00:25] <rpgsimmaster> IntuitiveNipple: Okay. And if I want it back to being worked with by NM, how would I set it back? Is there an NM conf file for that sort of thing?
[00:25] <IntuitiveNipple> rpgsimmaster: Simply remove the entry for that interface (or comment it out) from /etc/network/interfaces
[00:25] <rpgsimmaster> IntuitiveNipple: Thank you very much - I'll give it a go
[00:25] <unop> looter, any directory you like, preferably a new directory - aptly named
[00:25] <IntuitiveNipple> rpgsimmaster: and, of course, restart NM so it discovers it
[00:25] <rpgsimmaster> IntuitiveNipple: Thank you
[00:25] <cybercom> can anyone help me
[00:26] <IntuitiveNipple> rpgsimmaster: to restart NM sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
[00:26] <sd32> is the flash player in the restricted extras package version 9 or 10?
[00:26] <cybercom> i had add another harddrive into my PC, after i put it, i just do the partition and reformat but i cant create any files on the hard disk and ther is only 1 files which named lost+found. so how can i solve this issues
[00:26] <looter> unop: ya but there isn't a default dir like /usr/something/something?
[00:26] <bpat1434> I'm setting up my ubuntu server, and I've installed xinetd via aptitude; however, it doesn't seem to be running.  No PID is given when I do /etc/init.d/xinetd status
[00:26] <bpat1434> how can I check to see if xinetd is in fact running?
[00:26] <IntuitiveNipple> cybercom: It sounds as if the disk is mounted as 'root' and your current user ID doesn't have write permissions to it
[00:26] <unop> looter, /usr/src
[00:27] <rpgsim[away]> IntuitiveNipple: Okay, new problem - my /etc/network/interfaces file doesn't list eth0 - it looks like this: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback
[00:27] <looter> or doesn't it matter after I run the install script?
[00:27] <cybercom> so.... how to change it
[00:27] <mikewu> bpat1434: ps -ef | grep xinetd
[00:27] <unop> looter, but you'll probably need to be in the same group as that owning /usr/src -- which is probably 'src' itself
[00:27] <cybercom> so.... how to change it ....  i means getting permission
[00:27] <sd32> flash 10 is driving me nuts and is too buggy
[00:27] <bpat1434> mikewu, thanks.
[00:27] <rpgsim[away]> cybercom: sudo or su and run a shell or a file manager from the shell
[00:27] <IntuitiveNipple> rpgsim[away]: precisely... and because of that NM manages the interface. As soon as you add an entry for an interface to that file (and restart NM) NM will ignore it.
[00:28] <rpgsim[away]> IntuitiveNipple: Ah, okay. Thank you
[00:28] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1, I found the devices is sdd and made the folder in the media/usbdisk how would i put that command together?
[00:28] <cybercom> i'm stilll learning on this ubuntu rpgsim[away]
[00:29] <cybercom> rpgsim[away]:  can u tell me how to do run the shell
[00:29] <sd32> is there a way to put flash 9 back on my system because 10 is to o buggy?
[00:30] <mbrigdan> Hello people, I'm setting up a backup drive, and I want to know what files I should backup to allow myself to get back to a working system again. Anyone know what I should do?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: well the partition will be /dev/sdd<a number>
[00:30] <mikewu> DJNomad: sudo mount -t vfat -o uid=your_username,gid=users /dev/sdd1 /media/usbdisk
[00:30] <lwizardl> hi
[00:30] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: like /dev/sdd1
[00:30] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: what file system is the partition?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: sudo fdisk -l will show you the partitions too
[00:31] <cybercom> IntuitiveNipple:  how to disable the root permission
[00:31] <lwizardl> can I use a ubuntu computer as a PXE server to boot another omputer for os install?
[00:31] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1,  it is fat32
[00:31] <unop> mikewu, UID and GID expect numeric arguments
[00:31] <fde> lwizardl: umm, apt-cache search pxe ... but yes
[00:32] <B10S> can you boot ubuntu via PXE?
[00:33] <lwizardl> fde, ok and would it also let me chose which install to do such as Ubuntu Desktop or Windows XP?
[00:33] <cybercom> HOW TO DISABLE THE ROOT PERMISSION ON THE HARD DISK??????
[00:33] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1,  dont think it will work the sudo fdisk -l comes back with a bunch of garbage looks like my partitions are corrupt
[00:33] <Flannel> lwizardl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[00:33] <fde> lwizardl: no, it will only do ubuntu/debian
[00:33] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1,  it does that when i have a zip drive or the phone attached to it
[00:33] <Flannel> cybercom: What?  Also, please don't use caps.  We can read lowercase.
[00:33] <cybercom> ok
[00:33] <fde> cybercom: you don't, you add the user to the storage group
[00:34] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: can yu pastebin the fdisk output please
[00:34] <cybercom> fde: how to do that
[00:34] <fde> cybercom: edit /etc/group with your favorite editor
[00:34] <ActionParsnip1> cybercom: or mount it with user writability
[00:35] <cybercom> ActionParsnip1: what is the commands
[00:35] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1, http://pastebin.com/d1adbebeb
[00:35] <fde> ActionParsnip1: adding the user to the storage group basically has the same effect as that is defined usually in the 'defaults' option
[00:35] <Flannel> cybercom, fde: editing /etc/group is silly.  Use `adduser user group`
[00:35] <vip3rousmango> Anyone know where the file location of a PRINT to PDF is stored?
[00:35] <fde> Flannel: why is it silly? it is faster
[00:36] <Flannel> fde: No?
[00:36] <cybercom> Flannel:  how to do it ????
[00:36] <CrocoJet> hi for all ! Is possible restart (reset) sound service in Ubuntu intrepid?
[00:36] <mal|lappy> Hello, for some reason I am unable to kill VLC which is running (shows up in TOP using 100% of cpu). How do I force it to close? killall vlc and kill pid dosent work
[00:36] <Flannel> fde: `sudo adduser user group` is faster.  And you are less likely to make a mistake.
[00:36] <DJNomad> cybercom, you can also right click on a folder higher up than the one you need to change and open as root
[00:36] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[00:36] <CrocoJet> other question, the pulse audio project .. failed?
[00:36] <ifroog> Question2, How do you shade a window in gnome?
[00:37] <DJNomad> cybercom,  opening the filesystem like that deletes the purpose of having a safe system
[00:37] <cybercom> Flannel:  that option was disable
[00:37] <fde> Flannel: umm, I beg to differ .... unless you're using an inefficient editor
[00:37] <mikewu> vip3rousmango: should be in your home directory in a folder called PDF
[00:38] <Flannel> fde: Alright, well, regardless of what you believe, please recommend that people use adduser in this channel, thanks.
[00:38] <nny> I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed on an acer aspire one.  Restarted the computer and can no longer get wifi or ethernet.  Both were working fine before the restart. Any suggestions to get them back?

[00:39] <mrwes> fde, thanks....that's a new one for me too :)
[00:39] <fde> ifroog: also, Compiz has an option to shade with the mouse wheel... but I'm not sure where it is
[00:39] <hlm> klamav cant update, I just installed it can someone help me with this?
[00:40] <cybercom> Flannel: the option ws disabled...... can i do it in command or any other way
[00:40] <fde> ifroog: stumbled upon it once when I was messing around with simple-ccsm ...
[00:40] <ifroog> fde, Tx :)
[00:40] <nny> DJNomad should I reinstall them or is there a more efficient way to reenable them?
[00:41] <DJNomad> nny look in the resticted drivers and see iif they are enabled
[00:41] <Flannel> cybercom: What option was disabled?  Do you mean DJNomad instead of me?
[00:41] <DJNomad> nny I am newbie I dont know much but think my video card had to be enabled once
[00:41] <nbeebo> is it possible to merge avi's? and if so, in a fast way?
[00:41] <mrwes> fde, do you know where I can enable GNOME to make coffee :)
[00:42] <ifroog> fde, Yeah, In gnome its called rollup, In windows settings. Tx !
[00:42] <mrwes> nbeebo, avimerge
[00:42] <nbeebo> mrwes thanks and love <3
[00:42] <nny> DJNomad, thanks for the help but i am a newbie as well, how do i see if they are enabled and if not how do i enable them?
[00:42] <mrwes> nbeebo, from the command line... works very well too -- you can also use avisplit from the CLI
[00:42] <cybercom> Flannel: when i right click on the hdd..... in the permission folder. ... the options are disabled
[00:43] <nbeebo> mrwes yeah... its not in the repos tho :( dont worry ill fix it
[00:43] <hhihio> hi ..  i can access a computer through ssh & httpd but i cannot access web from inside it (e.g wget)...
[00:44] <hhihio> what could be the problem?
[00:44] <nbeebo> mrwes, ops its in a meta-package
[00:44] <mrwes> nbeebo, I believe it's part of transcode
[00:44] <cybercom> Flannel:
[00:45] <cybercom> Flannel:
[00:45] <fde> !search avimerge
[00:45] <keystr0k> anyone know of a command line tool to combine images into a pdf?
[00:46] <hhihio> ping isn't working too
[00:46] <fde> !find avimerge
[00:46] <cybercom> Flannel: are you there
[00:46] <mrwes> fde: just what I said :)
[00:46] <fde> mrwes: don't like people guessing  :)   plus it gave me a reason to figure out what the ubottu command was for searching contents of packages  :)
[00:47] <Flannel> cybercom: Right.  You browse graphically without administrator privledges, so you can't modify things normally. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[00:47] <mrwes> fde, well he was only a google away from the answer :)
[00:47] <Flannel> cybercom: Also, you don't need to repeat.
[00:47] <mrwes> fde, so you were guessing on the command aye?
[00:47] <cybercom> i'm trying to save all my data inside my 2nd hdd
[00:48] <cybercom> but the thing is i cant even create single folder..... so how to solve it
[00:48] <Thisdude> obviously not hard enough
[00:49] <B10S> cybercom, sudo mkdir [folder-name-and--path]
[00:50] <LUCASUSER> hola
[00:50] <DJNomad> freakin electricity went out on me for minute
[00:50] <nny> DJNomad i don't see any of the drivers in the "Hardware Drivers" window but i don't remember what was there before.
[00:50] <mrwes> cybercom, how did you mount the drive? in /etc/fstab or manually?
[00:50] <tiredbones> what would be a command to check for wifi support?
[00:50] <cybercom> no
[00:50] <cybercom> i in manually
[00:51] <alienkid> Hi guys my brother's computer(using WUBI) is going to fsck on lib/init/rw/rootdev in 3 mounts and we were wondering how to up it(to infinite if possible) because every time it happens we have to reinstall because it fails.
[00:51] <cybercom> by right click and mount the volume
[00:51] <mrwes> cybercom, and where is the mount point? /media/????
[00:51] <DJNomad> nny i dunno maybe you can get it fixed by doing a updaye and adding the live cd as update source
[00:51] <cybercom> yup
[00:51] <sanenick> any ideas?
[00:51] <mrwes> cybercom, and what are the permissions of the mount point?
[00:51] <cybercom>  ...../media/disk
[00:52] <mrwes> cybercom, and owner of the mount point?
[00:52] <rpgsimmaster> Back!
[00:52] <cybercom> the permission could not be determined
[00:53] <rpgsimmaster> cybercom: still sorting the format problem?
[00:53] <cybercom> and when i enter the drive ... it show as root as the ownre
[00:53] <cybercom> yup
[00:53] <nny> DJNomad don't have the live cd but have the iso, can i use that?
[00:53] <mikewu> alienkid: install tune2fs and follow this http://www.slackwiki.org/Forced_Fsck
[00:53] <cybercom> rpgsimmaster:  yes
[00:53] <alienkid> Mikewu it is
[00:53] <alienkid> install
[00:54] <DJNomad> nny not sure it would help anyway but i imagine you could mount it and direct it to the mount
[00:54] <mrwes> tiredbones, iwlist scan from the terminal command line
[00:54] <cybercom> mrwes:
[00:54] <alienkid> mikewu: I can't up it on lib/init/rw/rootdev
[00:56] <mrwes> cybercom, from the terminal type chown username:username /media/disk
[00:56] <mrwes> cybercom, and of course username = your username :)
[00:57] <cybercom> mrwes: nothing happen
[00:58] <cybercom> ooo ok
[00:58] <mrwes> cybercom, now try to copy to it
[00:58] <cybercom> mrwes: thanks i can create
[00:58] <cybercom> now
[00:58] <mrwes> cybercom, np :)
[00:58] <cybercom> neway thanks

[00:58] <slestak> i tried googling, but saw nothing pertinant
[00:59] <mrwes> slestak, it's mounted as a usb drive?
[00:59] <cybercom> and aaa
[00:59] <cybercom> mrwes
[00:59] <mrwes> slestak, check the ownership of the mount point :)

[01:01] <sd32> DJNomad, should i ignore it?
[01:01] <mrwes> cybercom, yes, also install grsync, it's the GUI and will be easier for you to use
[01:01] <DJNomad> sd32 adobe has the latest but your place has the one that has been tested
[01:01] <pgreptom> Hi, how do I ignore messages such as "Feb 19 19:58:23 cixar kernel: [57734.364187] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [ffff88013fa3f7e0] 'off'" in syslog?
[01:01] <mrpockets> Is there something other than virtualbox i cna use for a virtualbox?
[01:01] <cybercom> ok
[01:02] <mrwes> mrpockets, VMWare
[01:02] <sanenick> is there another channel for network-specific issues?

[01:02] <nubuntu> hi friends somebody can help me?
[01:02] <mrpockets> something i can sudo apt-get install cuz Im a noob?
[01:02] <nubuntu> i installed nubuntu on my hdd
[01:02] <mrwes> slestak, so you the user do not have read/write rights to it
[01:02] <nubuntu> i can't resize the terminal window

[01:02] <DJNomad> i dunno about networking i havent had no probs with it cept wireless but i can wire mine
[01:02] <nubuntu> and other widnows
[01:03] <nubuntu> somebody can tell me why?
[01:03] <mrwes> slestak, sudo chmod 770 to the mount point directory
[01:03] <DJNomad> sd32 you should always "shop" for progs within ubuntu if you can
[01:03] <KevDog> Is there an apt-history command also?
[01:03] <slestak> mrwes: im logged in as him right now.  he's 10, so he doesnt have sudo or anything.  he has it mounted, and he remove tracks in rhythmbox
[01:03] <mrwes> KevDog, from the symatic there is a history of updated
[01:04] <nny> Anyone know how to reset ethernet and wifi?  Computer sees eth0 but won't connect and doesn't connect to wifi either.
[01:04] <SmackPotat> should ejabberd be running by default
[01:04] <KevDog> Something from CLI other than synaptic
[01:04] <sd32> DJNomad, thats wierd its checked
[01:04] <mrwes> slestak, you need to change the permission of the mount point to allow you to write to it
[01:04] <mrwes> KevDog, dunno
[01:04] <KevDog> nny: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:05] <slestak> he is logged in, he has 700, so he can write to it, and he cannot delete tracks
[01:05] <DJNomad> sd32 you need to restart firefox before it will work on websites
[01:05] <sd32> DJNomad, yeah ive been having problems with version 10
[01:06] <wkerzend> where do the display drivers hide these days? I looked in the good old xorg.conf but there it just states configured device but not which drivers are used. Is there a gui now for these things? cheers
[01:06] <nny> KevDog is a restart required after doing that?
[01:06] <slestak> mrwes: he is logged in, he has 700, so he can write to it, and he cannot delete tracks
[01:06] <jonkenny007> can anyone help me with a "Listen" music player problem?
[01:06] <DJNomad> wkerzend,  there is a restricted drivers gui thing somewhere
[01:06] <KevDog> nny: I don't think so, why?
[01:06] <slestak> mrwes: im sure he could do it in bash, but im trying to troubleshoot rhythmbox
[01:06] <mrwes> slestak, 700 is read/write/exec for root only
[01:06] <sd32> DJNomad, thanks got it working
[01:06] <sanenick> test
[01:07] <nny> KevDog no change.  Still not connecting to ethernet or wifi
[01:07] <DJNomad> sweet
[01:07] <cowgod> In Nautalis if you type with nothing selected it brings up a text box at the bottom which allows you to type filenames and stuff into, is there a way to use wildcards with that to select say everything that ends with .jpg?
[01:07] <mikewu> nny: try sudo dhclient and post your ifconfig if it doesn't work
[01:07] <slestak> mrwes: heres the mountpoint: drwx------ 16 joey root 4096 1969-12-31 19:00 disk
[01:07] <wkerzend> DJNomad: I cant change the drivers in there. It doesnt even show me. what it has. I think this laptop has a unichrome chip but is probably running on the standard vesa driver but I dont know.
[01:08] <slestak> mrwes: the user joey looks okay there

[01:09] <mbrigdan> Anyone know how I can print multiple images on one page?

[01:10] <Ryan_Chau> hi, I updated ubuntu and I have a small problem I was wondering if anyone could help me
[01:10] <KevDog> nny: want eth0 or wlan0?
[01:10] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: i'd fsck the drive to make sure its in order and correct, it doesnt look good, /dev/sde should look like the ones above it
[01:10] <jonkenny007> anyone please
[01:10] <Ryan_Chau> i bought a pc it came with the ubuntu 8.04 version and everythign was fine, so I updated it to the latlest version, but while i was updating a few screen came up and i didn't read it, it said something about replacing files
[01:10] <nny> Kevdog, I want both to work but i'll take whatever I can get for the moment.  Prefer wlan0
[01:10] <ifroog> Why does firefox hang on me?
[01:10] <sd32> i  have flash 10 installed but web pages aren't coming up correctly is this a bug  in flash or ubuntu?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip1> jonkenny007: mount it with smbmount
[01:11] <Ryan_Chau> i let the files replace each other, and when it restarted i was having problem with the drivers
[01:11] <Ryan_Chau> i think the network card driver is corrupted, i was wondering if i could get that somewhere
[01:11] <ActionParsnip1> ifroog: what have you recently changed with it?
[01:11] <exodus_ms> Ryan_Chau, more than likely your system defaulted to the open source drivers, you may need to enable restricted drivers
[01:12] <slestak> mrwes: 700 says owner has rwx, group and world has none.
[01:12] <KevDog> nny: Lets just see if eth0 can work.  sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0
[01:12] <sanenick> ifroog: he doesn't like you
[01:12] <Ryan_Chau> that sounds good, how do i enable the restricted drivers, I am new to ubuntu
[01:12] <slestak> mrwes: the mountpoint i pasted says joey owns it
[01:12] <mrwes> slestak, from the terminal type chmod joey;joey /media/disk -- if that's the mount point
[01:12] <looter> will GIMP save as an .svg? If not what will?
[01:12] <ActionParsnip1> sd32: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:13] <jrib> looter: don't know about gimp.  inkscape will though
[01:13] <mrwes> shit...I mean chown joey;joey /mount/point
[01:13] <rgrasell> im on android wooooo
[01:13] <sd32> ActionParsnip1, thanks ill try that
[01:13] <ifroog> sanenick, :D
[01:13] <ActionParsnip1> sd32: if you are running a 64bit linux, i'd suggest downloading the 64bit tar.gz file and extract it to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[01:13] <exodus_ms> Ryan_Chau, system/administration/hardware drivers
[01:13] <sd32> ActionParsnip1, no just 32
[01:14] <looter> jrib: great thx i'm installnig now
[01:14] <Ryan_Chau> i tried that one, it shows nividia drivers and i installed that already but nothing about network drivers
[01:14] <ActionParsnip1> sd32: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[01:14] <nny> KevDog got "wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device"
[01:14] <ActionParsnip1> sd32: ok thats cool then, no need for the link
[01:14] <DVA5912> I have a Dell Axim X5 im in the need to upload some drivers to it for my wireless card. I ahve a windows virual machine installed but i cant get it to see the device. is their a way to upload the drivers on linux to the device?
[01:14] <Ryan_Chau> is there a manual way to install drivers into it, download them somewhere, and transfer them into the pc?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip1> sd32: just use that command and you are golden
[01:15] <ActionParsnip1> ifroog: are you running 64bit linux?
[01:15] <exodus_ms> Ryan_Chau, the driver for your wifi card is probably still there, just not enabled because it is proprietary
[01:15] <ifroog> I start firefox 3 and it takes up 90% of processing.
[01:15] <ifroog> ActionParsnip1, No.
[01:15] <KevDog> nny: What name is your wirless interface? eth1 then?
[01:16] <Ryan_Chau> is there another way I can go about enabling it? sorry for the trouble I just can't seem to figure it out
[01:16] <ActionParsnip1> DVA5912: the windows vm will see the host connections and use them, you just need some network configs
[01:16] <felixsulla> Does anyone know why Python built from source wouldn't have Readline support in Gutsy Gibbon? Python 2.6
[01:16] <ifroog> RUnning it in safe mode too does the same.
[01:16] <dkulchenko> I'm looking for a program that moves files, can show progress, and  has an "Overwrite if size differs" option. (mc does not work for me in this situation).
[01:16] <Ryan_Chau> i'm directly connecting it with a cat 5 cable, but when i go to network settings it doesn't have any networks there
[01:16] <dkulchenko> ifroog: do you have any extensions installed?
[01:16] <Ryan_Chau> and when I use the Add network it doesn't do anything either
[01:17] <ifroog> dKingston, only one.
[01:17] <KevDog> felixsulla: I have no idea, but probably didnt compile it correctly then
[01:17] <ifroog> firebug
[01:17] <ActionParsnip1> DVA5912: set your gateway on the guest as the ip of your router and your primary dns to <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:17] <ifroog> which i disabled.
[01:17] <DVA5912> ActionParsnip1: How does that help in the finding of the device?
[01:17] <felixsulla> KevDog I'm assuming its some kind of flag or something I'm missing. Is there somewhere you can recommend to read about that?
[01:17] <sd32> ActionParsnip1, isnt non free for 64 bit?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip1> ifroog: try: killall firefox; mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old; firefox &
[01:17] <nny> KevDog sorry not sure.  ifconfig lists eth0, eth0:avahi ,lo, pan0, pan0:avahi
[01:18] <ifroog> ok, brb.
[01:18] <loadepfaref> hello
[01:18] <loadepfaref> HELLO?!
[01:18] <loadepfaref> someone say something - i'm not sure i'm connected
[01:18] <kaptengu> hello
[01:18] <felixsulla> load yes
[01:18] <felixsulla> we can see you.
[01:18] <loadepfaref> awsome
[01:18] <fnordpro> is there a reason that Install has no LVM or encrypt for Use As during partitioning? I am trying manual instead of guided.
[01:19] <danbhfive_jaunty> Is there a way to get a harddrive to power down when not in use?  I have one that is unmounted, yet, it still feels like its spinning, and its giving off plenty of heat (so its clearly on).
[01:19] <ActionParsnip1> DVA5912: its part of getting internet on vbox, I'd the vbox will need configuring to use networking which you can do once the guest system is powered off
[01:19] <dkulchenko> fnordpro: try the alternate install cd
[01:19] <KevDog> nny: so forget the wlan0 part - but I see that the wireless driver for your wireless card is incorrect
[01:19] <loadepfaref> hey can someone tell me how to fix this error that i get when i run 'apt-get update', the error is "GPG error: http
[01:19] <JohnSmith> anyone ever notice how gnome-terminal's colors aren't as bright as xterm's and aterm's ?
[01:19] <dkulchenko> fnordpro: it has support for lvm, not sure about encryption, though. it's not gui, however, if that makes a difference
[01:19] <ActionParsnip1> sd32: nonfree is for both
[01:20] <nny> KevDog is there a way to just reset all of this?
[01:20] <ActionParsnip1> sd32: the tar.gz file is a native 64bit plugin for 64bit systems and is awesome
[01:20] <ifroog> ActionParsnip1, That worked :)
[01:20] <ifroog> Thanks..
[01:20] <loadepfaref> "GPG error: http://www.ppa.launchpad.net intrepid release ... the following signatures couldnt be verified becasue the public key is not availabke : NO_PUBKEY CIJA9CJ29JC9CJSA9J"
[01:20] <sd32> ActionParsnip1, ok  thanks again
[01:20] <loadepfaref> how to fix that?
[01:20] <FloodBot1> loadepfaref: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:20] <ActionParsnip1> ifroog: ok now you know your profile is to blame
[01:20] <Ryan_Chau> how do I reformat ubuntu and reinstall it? i think i need a fresh install to fix my problem
[01:20] <KevDog> nny: What do you want to reset?
[01:20] <JohnSmith> Ryan_Chau: what is your problem?
[01:20] <loadepfaref> i can't paste because i need to get apt-get working in order to download wgetpaste
[01:21] <ActionParsnip1> ifroog: your old settings (stored passwords / faves) are in ~/.mozilla_old
[01:21] <KevDog> nny: reboot, however I doubt it will do much but you could try
[01:21] <ifroog> ActionParsnip1, Okies :)
[01:21] <slestak> mrwes: do you mean chown joey:joey?  joey is already the owner, root is the group owner.
[01:21] <loadepfaref> can someone msg me how to fix error - don't just say it cuz i can't see who its directed too
[01:21] <Ryan_Chau> it says it can't find a active network when I plug in my cat5 cable for internet, but when i plug it into my laptop which is also running ubuntu it works
[01:21] <DVA5912> ActionParsnip1: Its setup as a automatic
[01:21] <fnordpro> dkulchenko: thanks. is alternate install a different iso or do i need to select it during boot?
[01:21] <ActionParsnip1> ifroog: you can either rebuild a new profile, or rename back to work out whats what
[01:21] <nny> KevDog I guess my ethernet and wifi since neither are working.  I've restarted twice already.
[01:21] <Ryan_Chau> but I do have a ubuntu.iso file so i was thinking about burning it and reinstalling it again
[01:21] <JohnSmith> Ryan_Chau: in your terminal use the command "ifconfig" to see if you have eth0.
[01:21] <ActionParsnip1> DVA5912: check the config, it may not be set to use networking
[01:21] <Ryan_Chau> okay
[01:21] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1,  I got the device found as a scsi5 using the usb adapter ,you think that would help?
[01:22] <JohnSmith> Ryan_Chau: if you don't, try sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[01:22] <ActionParsnip1> DVA5912: you have to manually appy the settings to get web access though
[01:22] <KevDog> nny: Post your info in the forums in the networking section.  Youve got big time driver errors then -- maybe.  Hard to know without all the facts!
[01:22] <dkulchenko> fnordpro: different iso
[01:22] <DVA5912> ActionParsnip1: im not sure you know what im doing. The vm sees the Dell Axim X5 but it wont active sync. It wont see it on active sync.
[01:22] <dkulchenko> fnordpro: it's a completely text-based installer, if you're okay with that

[01:57] <Ryan_Chau> exodus_ms, i plugged my laptop in to the wire, which is running an ubuntu OS, and it works just fine, it connects to eth0 and goes
[01:57] <DBO> is it safe to resize my ext3 partition to be smaller from the liveCD?
[01:57] <dlublink> Are there any mirrors out there that still have the feisty repository ?
[01:57] <_VIM_> I just tried konversation for the first time (been using linux for 2 years) and i'm like a kid in a toy store now :)
[01:57] <dlublink> I have to install a machine with feisty, and I can't find any mirrors
[01:57] <willie_> ok thank you
[01:57] <woody86> fde, well I installed 9.04 as ext4, but the latest updates has made my comp really glitchy, so I want to go back to 8.04, but don't want to loose all my /home if possible
[01:58] <fde> !feisty
[01:58] <fde> dlublink: feisty is dead
[01:58] <dlublink> There are no mirrors anywhere ??
[01:58] <runey> has anyone in here used DRBL whose brain i can pick, so to speak?
[01:58] <dlublink> I used a PXE boot this morning cause my CD was corrupt
[01:58] <fde> dlublink: I don't recall the URL, but you really ought to rethink using feisty anymore
[01:59] <willie_> how can i mirror my ubuntu hard drive or save it at least
[01:59] <dlublink> Ok, my problem is I need asterisk 1.2 and it won't compile on 8.04
[01:59] <fde> dlublink: it will never get security updates again, for instance
[01:59] <fde> dlublink: why do you need an old version?
[01:59] <dooco> ok i am just gonna ask the question.  the highest resolution i can get is 1152x864 it is showing my intel card as installed video adapter how can i get it to regognise my card so i can use 1280x1024 at least
[01:59] <fde> dlublink: use the version in 8.04.2
[01:59] <DVA5912> What can i use to see what devices are connected?
[01:59] <dlublink> Asterisk does not compile on 8.04.2
[01:59] <dlublink> Asterisk 1.2*
[02:00] <fde> dlublink: but why do you need such an ancient version? its not like they removed features in later editions
[02:00] <dlublink> I have a software that I have to support for 6 months and I am told it does not run on asterisk 1.4
[02:00] <willie_> how do i backup my system?
[02:01] <mrpockets> sudo
[02:01] <mrpockets> backup
[02:01] <mrpockets> sorry

[02:02] <mrpockets> jrib, you using 8.10?
[02:02] <jrib> dooco: well I have no idea what your question is, so I can't really help you
[02:02] <jrib> mrpockets: yep
[02:02] <usser> dooco, intel cards are supported out of the box, even though it shows installed video driver or whatnot its actually using the proper one
[02:02] <fde> jrib: scroll up? bad resolution
[02:02] <willie_> is it installed already?
[02:02] <mrpockets> is it mroe stable than it was when it came out?
[02:02] <usser> dooco, unless you messed with it
[02:02] <dlublink> ok
[02:02] <cisco> hi there
[02:02] <dlublink> thanks
[02:02] <sanenick> i think the problem is because there are too many people in the channel 1300+
[02:03] <dlublink> I'll give it a shot with asterisk 1.4 see what happens
[02:03] <jrib> !x > dooco
[02:03] <usser> dooco, type xrandr on the terminal does it list your resolution?
[02:03] <mrpockets> sanenick, there needs to be an overflow chan or two
[02:03] <fde> mrpockets: there is

[02:03] <yfk> using the GUI to mount NTFS yields a drive to which I can write, doing the same for hfs+ yields one from which I may only read. how can I attain write permissions to that drive?
[02:04] <fde> sanenick: only around 20 are talking at a given time... just hide join/part messages and its not hard to follow at all
[02:04] <willie_> hey guys thanks for your help
[02:04] <jonkenny007> BCM43: all right.. -o was just me being stupid (it's where the options go) so i removed it and now get the error message: mount error 13 = Permission denied
[02:04] <jonkenny007> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[02:04] <Ryan_Chau> can someone tell me how i can edit my interfaces file under /ect/network/
[02:04] <Ryan_Chau> everytime i edit it it says i don't have permission to save this file

[02:04] <jonkenny007> BCM43: my command again is: gksudo smbmount //<IP_ADDRESS>/public /media/usr8700 username=**,password=**,rw,uid=1000,gid=users
[02:04] <dooco> !usser it lists resolutions i can use but not the ones i need
[02:05] <fde> Ryan_Chau: use sudo or gksudo
[02:05] <spaceBARbarian> is there a way to change the cursor in gnome terminal to an underscore ?
[02:05] <Ryan_Chau> okay, but i am new to ubuntu so how do i use the sudo?
[02:05] <usser> yfk, i dont think writing to hfs+ is supported by linux
[02:05] <Ryan_Chau> do i go in the termnal and type in? sudo /etc/network/interfaces
[02:06] <fde> Ryan_Chau: no... sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces ... or gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces is likely what you want
[02:06] <yfk> usser: the people in #Debian told me it is
[02:06] <fde> yfk: install hfsplus
[02:06] <usser> dooco, and glxinfo, what is OpenGL renderer string should be something like this OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2
[02:06] <fde> !search hfsplus
[02:07] <fde> I need to learn how to use this bot again... but I think there is also hfsplus-tools etc
[02:07] <usser> yfk, i dunno take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=543159
[02:07] <fde> usser: apt-cache show hfsplus ... guessing is not useful
[02:08] <ruediger> how can I mount a /proc in a chroot environment?
[02:08] <yfk> hfsplus declares it enables writing to the partition
[02:08] <usser> dooco, and glxinfo, what is OpenGL renderer string should be something like this OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2
[02:08] <fde> yfk: No it doesn't, but it can via the tools its ships
[02:08] <dooco> sorry usser i am coming back in the middle of the conversation
[02:09] <dooco> the previous terminal command restarted my pc
[02:09] <usser> yfk, the thread i sent you mentions something about journaling in hfs+ and ubuntu unable to utilize it, theres also some helpful debugging commands, like looking at dmesg output when mounting the partition
[02:09] <fde> yfk: btw, do not ask Ubuntu questions in #debian ... they do not support Ubuntu.
[02:10] <boot_loop> do most programs that compile in debian compile fine in ubuntu?
[02:10] <OrlandoBloom> i have a ubuntu disk, how do i get the bloody thing to work?
[02:10] <usser> boot_loop, yes thats generally true
[02:10] <dooco> usser i tried that command u sent me before the link and it loked my pc so i had to restart
[02:10] <boot_loop> OrlandoBloom: make sure your boot order in your bios is set to check for CD-rom first, then boot from it
[02:10] <fde> boot_loop: most ubuntu programs are debian packages recompiled for ubuntu build environments... they may be heavily patched though to compile on the newer stuff
[02:10] <DVA5912> I have a Dell Axim Cradle. Does it need to be pluged into power outlet before i can sync? and if so, can i use a 6 v adapter? its all i got thats close enough
[02:10] <usser> dooco, glxinfo??
[02:11] <usser> dooco, really?
[02:11] <dooco> yup
[02:11] <usser> dooco, hm thats weird
[02:11] <fde> boot_loop: so it depends on how and why the package was modified
[02:11] <dooco> said it was checking battery wich was weird sinsce i am using a desktop lol
[02:11] <boot_loop> ok cool, thanks, fde
[02:11] <usser> dooco, what does lspci | grep VGA say?

[02:21] <dooco> bigjay i cant get ubuntu to recognise the correct driver for my integrated intel video
[02:21] <weshley> Or a command I could type to see where the installation took place

[02:23] <fde> OrlandoBloom: its ubuntu not unbuntu
[02:23] <dooco> usser see lines 17-19 that seems to be the problem
[02:24] <bruenig> OrlandoBloom: stop trolling
[02:24] <chort27> fde: i typed that but it just gae me another blank terminal command line - nothing happened
[02:24] <DJNomad> dmesg should tell me where my flash drive is located right ?

[02:25] <usser> dooco, no its fine, since hardy ubuntu autodetects your resolutions/monitors
[02:25] <fde> chort27: means thats not the video line... so it returned nothing... lspci | grep -i vga

[02:25] <dooco> ok
[02:25] <dTx> Hi I'm totally not on Jaunty and am on Intrepid, do you know how I can, after commenting out the xorg-edgers repo, revert to the official packages
[02:25] <bruenig> merther: what are you mounting exactly? another partition, drive? or is this some sort of samba share or what
[02:25] <dTx> their version number is less so an upgrade won't work
[02:26] <danbhfive_jaunty> dTx: have you tried just apt-get installing the package?
[02:26] <chort27> fde: VGA Compatible controller: ATI Technologies INC Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
[02:26] <dTx> the version number in xorg-edgers is higher so it just says its already installed
[02:26] <merther> samba share... so on that computer I can mount a folder called shared using <IP_ADDRESS>/shared  but it has an issue with <IP_ADDRESS>/my%20documents
[02:26] <tested2> danhbfive_jaunty: got it working thanks also had to purge mysql-common
[02:26] <DJNomad> http://pastebin.com/d78cd6467
[02:26] <dTx> is there a way to tell apt-get to force install only currently available versions?
[02:27] <dTx> in current repos?
[02:27] <fde> chort27: lsmod | grep fglrx return anything (just yes or no)
[02:27] <kitche> dTx: you have to tell apt the specific version if you are downgrading
[02:27] <DJNomad> if anyone knows how to find it fast would ya pleast
[02:27] <bruenig> merther: well I would guess you want to put my\ documents, or perhaps quote the entire thing "my documents"
[02:27] <usser> dooco, it looks fine
[02:27] <DJNomad> I am new and it is crazy
[02:27] <dTx> is there a way to show what versions are available?
[02:27] <usser> dooco, no errors or anything. are you running compiz right now?
[02:27] <dooco> weird aint it :)
[02:27] <dTx> like in apt-cache search or something
[02:27] <merther> tried that but it didn't work, though that was a while ago when I had another problem.  I'll try that again real quick.
[02:27] <fde> chort27: Also, what version of Ubuntu? Older versions, fglrx didn't support compositing
[02:27] <usser> dooco, cant imagine why glxinfo would lock your machine
[02:27] <danbhfive_jaunty> tested2: cool
[02:27] <danbhfive_jaunty> dTx: apt-cache policy will show you the versions
[02:27] <chort27> fde: grep: return: No such file or directory
[02:28] <dooco> where is compiz
[02:28] <usser> dooco, disable compiz if running, and try glxinfo again, only dont restart try killing xserver if it locks down with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE
[02:28] <fde> tell me exactly what you typed... there is no reason for it to return that chort27
[02:28] <usser> dooco, 3d effects, cube wobbly windows etc
[02:28] <chort27> fdeL 8.04
[02:28] <chort27> fde: lsmod | grep fglrx return anything
[02:28] <usser> dooco, you need 1280x1024 right?
[02:28] <merther> when I do either of those things it says it can't find the mount point in fstab
[02:28] <dooco> yup
[02:28] <dooco> thats all i need
[02:29] <bruenig> merther: ask in #samba
[02:29] <fde> chort27: #ubuntu-ppc ... I would guess there is no fglrx driver for ppc though
[02:29] <merther> ty
[02:29] <chort27> I've seen a few with it working fde
[02:29] <usser> dooco, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:30] <dooco> http://paste.ubuntu.com/120402/
[02:31] <fde> chort27: uhh... make that #ubuntu-powerpc ... they'll know more, PPC isn't even officially supported since Apple switched platforms unfortunately.... other distros have official support
[02:31] <bonhoffer> does anyone know about sane (i have to scan multiple pages and i seems i have to type in the number a priori)

[02:37] <Ryan_Chau> danbhfive_jaunty: but i did download and burn a cd so that i am ready to reformat i just need to figure out how to delete it
[02:37] <danbhfive_jaunty> Ryan_Chau: so, you want to wipe everything, and start with a fresh install?
[02:37] <usser> dooco, and replace it with http://paste.ubuntu.com/120404/
[02:37] <Ryan_Chau> danbhfive_jaunty: yes that would be great, if you could please point me in the right direction!
[02:37] <DJNomad> ryan you install and that deletes it
[02:38] <danbhfive_jaunty> Ryan_Chau: well, if you boot the cd, and go through the install process, at a certain point, you will get to the partitioner.  Either ask it to delete everything and partition automatically, or if you do it manually, just mark the partitions for reformat

[02:40] <Ryan_Chau> DJNomad: so do i spam F12 ? to get into bios when i reboot?
[02:40] <dooco> usser then do i just ctrl alt bkspc to reload it or do i have to restart
[02:40] <usser> dooco, yea ctrl+alt+backspace should do
[02:40] <danbhfive_jaunty> Ryan_Chau: so, you should click the "install now" icon on the desktop
[02:40] <DJNomad> it is diff on diff comps mine is delete
[02:41] <Ryan_Chau> danbhfive_jaunty: it doesn't have that icon, i was trying to update ubuntu to the 8.10 from the 8.04 and some files got messed up during the update
[02:41] <DJNomad> i have a dell

[02:43] <dooco> monitir is sony multiscan 500ps
[02:43] <danbhfive_jaunty> Ryan_Chau: you could try this command, see if it installs anything.  Maybe a package is missing: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ && sudo apt-get install linux-generic ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:44] <usser> dooco, you can use this tool to generate modelines http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl or gtf on the terminal if you dont have access to internet

[02:47] <TruthTaco> well i prefer opera... if i could get flash to work in it id probably use opera
[02:48] <usser> TruthTaco, you can, theres an  option in opera to scan for mozilla plugins, you have to point it to the proper directory
[02:48] <TruthTaco> ah

[03:06] <helo> is it advisable to upgrade from intrepid to jaunty for better i945 video chipset support in 2.6.28?
[03:07] <rww> Mooch: You mean the 18 month support period? because it's not a Long Term Support release
[03:07] <rww> helo: No. Jaunty hasn't been released yet and you shouldn't be using it.
[03:07] <helo> i have considerable experience running debian unstable, if that makes any difference
[03:07] <redvamp128> helo:  there is a channel to discuss Jaunty =  #ubuntu+1
[03:08] <Mooch> so 8.10 isnt long term and I just got the cd in the mail
[03:08] <helo> ahh... better protect the proles from the bleeding edge, lest they cut themselves
[03:08] <night-wm> dracie, just tried it and it didn't work
[03:08] <rww> Mooch: Ubuntu 8.10 was released in October. It'll be supported until April 2010 (18 months).
[03:09] <rww> helo: Basically, yes.
[03:10] <Mooch> rww: I am trying to install 8.10 on this old pc I have now but I need to find modem drivers for this pc and thats what I am having trouble with at the moment

[03:15] <Dracie> night-wm, can you see if there is anything strange in your xorg.log

[03:15] <night-wm> dracie, let me check
[03:15] <jkristheking> dracie: ok
[03:15] <Mooch> I have a issue with modem drivers they are such a pain to configure
[03:16] <wubrgamer> nick: why weechat?
[03:16] <jkristheking> dracie can i pm the output?
[03:16] <nick> wubrgamer: more flexible, in my opinion.
[03:16] <Dracie> jkristheking, feel free
[03:16] <jkristheking> ok
[03:17] <Ishmael> how would i pipe an ls command into a text file?
[03:17] <wubrgamer> nick: irssi has a larger userbase

[03:17] <night-wm> dracie, sorry where is the location of xorg.log? /etc/X11/?
[03:17] <Ishmael> | got me nowhere
[03:17] <Dracie> night-wm, most logs are in /var/log
[03:17] <Dracie> Ishmael, that would be a pipe, it is for streaming text to another command
[03:17] <nick> wubrgamer: i'm not a weechat fan, just suggested. right now using Xchat.
[03:18] <Mooch> does 8.10 ubuntu have most modem drivers

[03:20] <Mooch> jkristheking: well I am afraid to install 8.10
[03:20] <Dracie> night-wm, start with xorg.0.log
[03:20] <Nasra> crdlb: I go to the little guy you see on right top I hit it ...then alittle window popup ..then hit shut down....
[03:20] <jkristheking> ldiamond: nope worked when i plugged my wireless mouse in

[03:21] <Dracie> Nasra, try sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal see if that properly shuts it down
[03:21] <crdlb> Nasra: I have no idea why that would reboot it
[03:21] <Nasra> Dracie: thanks
[03:21] <Nasra> lemme try it
[03:22] <ldiamond> Anyone know how to get the Back and Forward mouse button to work in Nautilus (Ubuntu 8.10)?
[03:22] <greg> Hi, humbly requesting help w/ seamless remote desktop ( http://www.cendio.com/seamlessrdp/ ) on xubuntu / 8.10
[03:22] <x__> hey wats is a gud program to use with .ppt (power point presentations)
[03:23] <ldiamond> x__, your only chance is probably OpenOffice
[03:23] <ldiamond> x__, of course, Powerpoint through Wine or CrossOver Office.
[03:24] <x__> really thats my only chance.... wat about abi word? anything their
[03:24] <Nasra> Dracie: negative did not shut down
[03:24] <Dracie> Nasra, hmm what machine model do you have?
[03:24] <ldiamond> x__, http://www.osalt.com/powerpoint
[03:25] <Ishmael> any easy way to get ls to go into a text file with spaces instead of line breaks?
[03:25] <Ishmael> i need it in one continuous line :(
[03:25] <rods> I'm running Ubuntu on a quad core. It seems to prefer one CPU over the rest. Is there a way to better distribute that? Is it more efficient to load on one? I'm not too keen on the ups and downs of serial vs. parallel processing in Linux...
[03:25] <Daft_Punk> Ishmael, if you mean you want to CD into a folder with spaces you do folder\ name
[03:25] <Daft_Punk> assuming the folder is called 'folder name'
[03:25] <night-wm> dracie, i see "PreInit failed for input device 'Configured Mouse'"
[03:26] <Ishmael> no, i need a list of all the files within a folder, but in one line, without <br>'s
[03:26] <ldiamond> Ishmael,  What about replace all?
[03:26] <Ishmael> how do i enter an enter into replace all?
[03:26] <Ishmael> that's my problem ;( it just tries to find when i hit enter, if i knew the keyboard code it would be easier...maybe?
[03:26] <ldiamond> Well, if your editor supports regexp
[03:27] <ScottG489> Whats a good network manager. I have the one that comes with Ubuntu but it doesnt let me use AES encription.
[03:27] <ldiamond> Ishmael, with gedit, you can use \n as "new line"
[03:27] <Dracie> night-wm, I am not sure how to fix it - i think the best way to configure it would to be through hal
[03:27] <ldiamond> Ishmael, so in gedit replace all \n for a whitespace
[03:28] <rods> Any ideas?
[03:28] <ldiamond> Ishmael, you can most likely do this directly via command line with a substition, not sure how to do that in bash tho
[03:28] <night-wm> dracie, how do i go about doing that
[03:28] <ldiamond> Anyone know how to get the Back and Forward mouse button to work in Nautilus (Ubuntu 8.10)?
[03:28] <Dracie> night-wm, I am not sure but I am looking at stuff about it
[03:29] <night-wm> dracie, alright thanks
[03:29] <ldiamond> ScottG489, How does the network manager prevents you from using AES encryption?
[03:30] <jkristheking> ldiamond google it aka your mouse model and just add the word ubuntu or what ever linux OS' ur using
[03:30] <maxagaz> is XEN stable on
[03:30] <maxagaz> ubuntu
[03:30] <maxagaz>  ?
[03:30] <greg> ldiamond: check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[03:30] <ldiamond> jkristheking, I tried that, the only thing I found is a completely stupid hack.
[03:30] <ldiamond> greg just gave out a url to one of these stupid hacks
[03:31] <jkristheking> ldiamond: haha try uh.. daym it i forget what it's called
[03:31] <ldiamond> My back and forward button work well in firefox.
[03:31] <ScottG489> ldiamond: It doesn't have it listed in any of the options when I try to make a custom network connection
[03:31] <ldiamond> In the mouse properties, I can get the light to light up when I click my back and forward buttons
[03:31] <ldiamond> ScottG489, It shouldnt be an option, are you talking about Wireless connection?
[03:32] <Nasra> Dracie: it d
[03:32] <ldiamond> ScottG489, AES is a symetric key block cipher that is used commonly in WPA2 and TLSv1.
[03:32] <jkristheking> ldiamond: what kinda mouse you using
[03:32] <ldiamond> jkristheking, Logitech G5
[03:33] <Nasra> Dracie: my coputer keep rebooting when I click shut up....why is it doing ...need some help on how to stop this....
[03:33] <Nasra> thanks in advance
[03:33] <ScottG489> ldiamond: Yes, I need to to connect to my schools wifi.
[03:33] <Dracie> Nasra, what parts do you have/what computer model?
[03:34] <mlissner> Has anybody noticed the way that when you resume from suspend, it flashes the contents of your screen sometimes?
[03:34] <ldiamond> ScottG489, Then, you don't decide what cipher you use, the Wireless router does.
[03:34] <Nasra> it's a compaq AMD64
[03:34] <mlissner> It seems like a security concern, but I'm curious if it's just me.
[03:34] <greg> Anyone have any experience w/ seamless remote desktop?
[03:35] <ldiamond> mlissner, it doesnt flash for me, and thats not really a security concern
[03:35] <x__> has any one here used pphtml?
[03:35] <Nasra> Dracie: 512ram 120gb compaq AMD64...
[03:35] <Dracie> Nasra, a model number?
[03:35] <Nasra> Dracie: Compaq Presario
[03:35] <Scunizi> Dracie: could be Nasra has an acpi issue.. but I'm just guessing
[03:35] <mlissner> ldiamond, it's doesn't always do it, but it could be a concern, because it could allow somebody to see the contents of your screen, when they should see the password prompt...
[03:36] <Dracie> yeah Scunizi good call
[03:36] <ScottG489> ldiamond: Yes but I still think I need to enable it somehow. I looked at my schools Windows XP guide to find out what kind of wireless settings I needed and AES along with PEAP and WPA were some of the things it mentioned. There seems to be an option for all of those things in NetworkManager besides AES
[03:36] <Scunizi> Dracie: kernel line?  acpi=off or someting?
[03:36] <ldiamond> mlissner, for a fraction of a second. Did you know you could dump the entire memory to a firewire device only with physical access? Thats a security concern
[03:37] <Dracie> Nasra, you could try rebooting with the boot optioned added acpi=off
[03:37] <idefine> I just installed ubuntu server, I get to grub loading, please wait... and then it give me an Error 14, any ideas why this could be? I did a raid 5 install for the drives.
[03:37] <Nasra> it's really weird I installed a sound card the a couple days ago.....could it be that ..
[03:37] <Nasra> okay
[03:37] <jkristheking> ldiamond: hmm
[03:37] <ldiamond> ScottG489, AES isnt a choice you have, but your hardware has to support it.
[03:37] <mlissner> ldiamond, that's certainly a concern too. So does this mean it does it to you too?
[03:37] <Dracie> Nasra, do you know how?
[03:37] <ldiamond> mlissner, the flash on resume, no.
[03:37] <Nasra> hitting f10 when rebooting correct?
[03:38] <ldiamond> mlissner, most likely a video driver issue, check if you can get a newer version of the restricted video driver of your hardware.
[03:38] <Nasra> Dracie: letme try that....be right back....
[03:39] <Dracie> Nasra, when it says grub or something, press escape and then press e to edit the first boot option, then press e again to edit the actual boot parameters
[03:39] <Dracie> add acpi=off to the end and press enter
[03:39] <Nasra> Dracie: okay
[03:39] <Dracie> and then press b
[03:40] <Dracie> isn't acpi really only for laptops anyways?
[03:40] <ldiamond> ScottG489, if you absolutely want another network manager, WICD is nice.
[03:40] <anteaya> are there known issues with ibex and firefox? trying to help a friend who just downloaded a bunch of system upgrades and now firefox is running very slow though not using a lot of memory. Suggestions?
[03:40] <Dracie> night-wm, sorry I can't seem to find a solution =[
[03:40] <Dracie> what version of the G5 do you have?
[03:41] <bbelt16ag> hey how do I find out when a package was installed?
[03:41] <night-wm> dracie, um well it's the orange one
[03:41] <anteaya> I have searched for ibex and firefox but there is no definitive issue or solution posted
[03:41] <ldiamond> anteaya, there are issues yes, some are with Flash tho.
[03:41] <Dracie> night-wm, it might say something on the bottom of it
[03:41] <Dracie> like revision 7 or smthng
[03:41] <ldiamond> anteaya, you might want to use Firefox's binaries instead of the Ubuntu package
[03:41] <anteaya> ldiamond, what is the issue with Flash?
[03:41] <ldiamond> anteaya, check the CPU usage of Firefox too
[03:41] <ScottG489> ldiamond: Hey sry i went out to the grill
[03:42] <Scunizi> anteaya: have them rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.backup and restart FF to see what happens.
[03:42] <ldiamond> anteaya, Made firefox crash and high CPU usage
[03:42] <anteaya> Scunizi, will try that, thanks
[03:42] <ldiamond> anteaya, the newest binaries from Adobe should solve it
[03:42] <Scunizi> anteaya: could just be a plugin or adon that's messing things up
[03:42] <Dracie> most of the biggest issues with firefox are fixed by removing fconfigs
[03:42] <ldiamond> ScottG489, WICD is a good network manager, but I dont believe it will solve your problem
[03:42] <ScottG489> ldiamond: is WICD better then the nm applet? I would think there would be something better then the default one that comes with ubuntu. It seems kinda small too
[03:42] <Scunizi> ldiamond: how do you get Firefox binaries from Adobe..????
[03:43] <ldiamond> Scunizi, You get Flash binaries from adobe.
[03:43] <night-wm> dracie, nope there's nothing under there.  just a P/N and a PID.
[03:43] <marshall> does anybody know a way to improve Skype call quality in Intrepid?
[03:43] <bbelt16ag> hey how would I  roll back a  version of  growisofs?
[03:43] <ldiamond> Scunizi, check a few lines back, I stated the Flash issue.
[03:43] <pHreaksYcle> marshall: it all depends on your microphone settings and internet connection
[03:43] <pHreaksYcle> marshall: not much more
[03:44] <night-wm> dracie, the P/N is<PHONE_NUMBER>
[03:44] <anteaya> ldiamond, Scunizi thanks guys, transmitted the rename suggestion and will go from there
[03:44] <ldiamond> ScottG489, Better, I dont know, I used to use WICD back a few months ago... it works well, but I have no problem with the default nm now
[03:44] <marshall> pHreaksYcle, how do i optimize my internet settings for skype?
[03:44] <Dracie> night-wm, hmm =-[ I don't think that really gives to any real versioning
[03:44] <x__> ldiamond: yea i found that ppthtml works for wat i need it to just to view the text in a power point file
[03:44] <pHreaksYcle> marshall: look up something for your router called QoS
[03:44] <ldiamond> x__, oh, then its a much simpler problem.
[03:44] <Dracie> night-wm, I do know the g5 uses the edev mouse protocole
[03:44] <anteaya> ldiamond, so the flash suggestion is to uninstall flash as an ubunut package and reinstall flash as a binary package from adobe?
[03:44] <ScottG489> ldiamond: Well I know my hardware does support AES because back when I had Vista on my laptop I was able to connect to my schools wifi fine after following the directions.
[03:45] <marshall> pHreaksYcle, ive got the router QoS page open right now
[03:45] <pHreaksYcle> marshall: depending on what router you have you can tell it to give more bandwidth to your VoIP cals
[03:45] <night-wm> dracie, yea that's the only thing that's under there
[03:45] <ldiamond> anteaya, you could do it that way. The flash plugin is located in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[03:46] <Dracie> night-wm, ok, well I think it might work if you tell hal to explicitly to make the mouse use that one protocle
[03:46] <pHreaksYcle> marshall: im not sure about specifics, look up how to specifically do it by searching google for your router and skype
[03:46] <pHreaksYcle> plenty of guides im guessing
[03:46] <anteaya> ldiamond, thanks I will see how the first suggestion goes and then go for that one
[03:46] <ldiamond> anteaya, its called libflashplayer.so. Replacing this file with the Adobe's binaries will work just fine
[03:46] <anteaya> ldiamond, thanks so much, I will consider that my next suggestion
[03:46] <night-wm> dracie, ok how would i go about doing that
[03:46] <ldiamond> ScottG489, if your hardware has WPA2 support, it supports AES
[03:47] <Dracie> night-wm, hmm my knowledge isn't that good so bear with me i'll give it a try =]
[03:47] <ldiamond> anteaya, flash is only the problem is the issue occurs on flash sites.
[03:47] <night-wm> dracie, alright no problem =)
[03:47] <ldiamond> anteaya, otherwise, the Firefox binaries might be the problem
[03:47] <ldiamond> anteaya, you can download these binaries directly from firefox.com
[03:48] <homeskill> could anyone ever sell linux for a lot of money or does the gnu infrastructure prevent that
[03:48] <Firerouge> Whats eveyone up to
[03:48] <Dracie> homeskill, people sell linux
[03:48] <ldiamond> homeskill, people already sell linux (for the support)
[03:48] <Cycom> hey, I have a bcm4312, and the network manager bargraph for connection strength is showing no bars.  The connection is fine, and I can use the network, but it always look like I have no connection, and iwconfig doesn't show anything
[03:48] <Dracie> with support bundled and some propietary extentions
[03:48] <anteaya> ldiamond, thanks I am taking notes
[03:48] <ldiamond> homeskill, Redhat enterprise is an example
[03:48] <Cycom> is there something I can do about this?
[03:48] <pHreaksYcle> lol
[03:48] <ScottG489> ldiamond: YEa I have WPA and WPA2 for personal and enterprise
[03:49] <homeskill> is wpa good enough or only wpa2
[03:49] <redvamp128> homeskill:  Though the real money is not selling the linux- but providing support. (Though just look at Apple- But they also sell hardware they know works with their OS, plus some eyecandy)
[03:49] <ScottG489> ldiamond: So how do i enabled AES?
[03:49] <Scunizi> homeskill: Ubuntu is sold now in Best buy but includes restricted codecs that have had their license paid for by the purchase price
[03:49] <ldiamond> ScottG489, your card will therefore encrypt using AES without problem.
[03:49] <ldiamond> ScottG489, you dont have to enable this, its burnt in your wireless card
[03:49] <ScottG489> ldiamond: Oh, so then I guess theres some other problem then :/
[03:49] <bbelt16ag> Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0'
[03:49] <bbelt16ag> :-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error
[03:49] <bbelt16ag> can somebody help me fix this error please?
[03:49] <ldiamond> ScottG489,  Might be related to PEAP
[03:49] <homeskill> Scunizi you mean ubuntu is sold byitself in stores or preinstalled on a computer?
[03:50] <ldiamond> ScottG489, are you at school right now?
[03:50] <Scunizi> homeskill: packaged
[03:50] <Ishmael> i'm sorry, whatever i did, i froze me up
[03:50] <Dracie> night-wm, I am not sure if this will help but I can pastebin my hal config for my trackball mouse
[03:50] <homeskill> Scunizi how much does it cost compared to windows
[03:50] <Ishmael> and i wasn't able to get any of your awesome advice
[03:50] <Dracie> i'll give you a taste of syntax
[03:50] <ScottG489> ldiamond: No I just got home. What do you think the problem could be with PEAP?
[03:50] <Dracie> it'll*
[03:50] <night-wm> dracie, alright lets see
[03:50] <ScottG489> ldiamond: I've tried quite a few different configurations to try to get it to work
[03:50] <ldiamond> ScottG489, I dont know, are you able to connect to the Access Point?
[03:51] <Scunizi> homeskill: $20-$25 vs $99+
[03:51] <krono2k3> is anyone here fimialr with ldap and samba as a pdc
[03:51] <krono2k3> samba as a pdc
[03:51] <ScottG489> ldiamond: What is that? I am able to see the network
[03:51] <redvamp128> homeskill:  that kind of topics should be talked in #ubuntu-offtopic when people are wanting help
[03:51] <homeskill> ok
[03:51] <ldiamond> homeskill, you can order a free Ubuntu CD online (shipped to you for free). Its easy to install.
[03:51] <Dracie> http://paste.ubuntu.com/120434/ night-wm
[03:52] <Scunizi> homeskill: I was just looking online and .. nothing now.
[03:52] <Dracie> night-wm, I forgot how to figure out the mouse's id
[03:52] <ldiamond> ScottG489, See the network and connect to it, but unable to access the internet.
[03:52] <Ishmael> so, how might i remove the "enter" marks on a txt file?
[03:52] <ScottG489> ldiamond: No I can not connected. I am not able to aquire an IP address
[03:52] <ldiamond> Ishmael, as I told you earlier, open the text file in Gedit, go to search, replace, and replace \n with a space.
[03:53] <ldiamond> ScottG489, Whats your wireless card?
[03:53] <Ishmael> ldiamond, sorry, my entire system froze while i was trying to open the huge file, thanks for the help
[03:53] <Dracie> ldiamond, could you do cat file | sed s/\n/ /g
[03:53] <night-wm> dracie, hmm alright where is the hal config
[03:53] <ldiamond> Ishmael, Dracie's solution works too.
[03:54] <Dracie> ldiamond, ok thx i wasn't sure if my syntax was right
[03:54] <krono2k3> can someone help me im having a hard time connecting my xp pro workstation to my samba pdc
[03:54] <ldiamond> Ishmael, output it to another file with > file.txt
[03:54] <ldiamond> Dracie, actually, I think its not right :p
[03:54] <Dracie> night-wm, /etc/hal/fdi/policy/*.fdi are where you put hal polcies
[03:54] <Dracie> ldiamond, lol
[03:54] <Dracie> i'll try it
[03:55] <jkristheking> dracie: wow
[03:56] <ScottG489> ldiamond: Dell 1510 Wireless-N Card
[03:56] <ldiamond> Are you able to connect to other WPA2 networks? (maybe your home network using WPA2) ?
[03:57] <sagredo> I upgraded to 8.10 and skype isn't working, any ideas?
[03:58] <jackfgr> hola
[03:58] <jackfgr> hablo español
[03:58] <night-wm> dracie, i think i found the hal config but i don't see anything regarding the mouse
[03:58] <Scunizi> sagredo: reinstall.
[03:58] <Scunizi> sagredo: skype that is
[03:58] <ScottG489> ldiamond: Well I think I have a router/network card compatibility issue at home. The only network I connect to wirelessly consistantly is the apple stores wifi
[03:58] <jackfgr> somebody spoken spanish?
[03:58] <Scunizi> !es | jackfgr
[03:58] <Dracie> night-wm, yeah you put in a new .fdi file for another device
[03:58] <night-wm> ah ok
[03:59] <sagredo> Scunizi: sounds good
[03:59] <anteaya> ldiamond, Scunizi thanks guys the renaming of ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_backup and the restart seemed to have solved the problem for now, and I told him about the suggestion to download the flash binary from adobe, cheers guys
[03:59] <ScottG489> ldiamond: I work near the apple store and its really the only network I can use
[04:00] <ldiamond> ScottG489, Then I dont know what the issue is, maybe Dell can help
[04:00] <Scunizi> anteaya: good to hear.
[04:00] <ScottG489> ldiamond: They dont use any sort of verification
[04:00] <illumin8> Whats the command to unmount smbmounts please?
[04:00] <oscar1> hello?
[04:01] <oscar1> can anyone help me fix the speakers, all that comes out is static noise.
[04:01] <Ishmael> thanks ldiamond, using \n i was able to input the proper code wrapping for every file :D
[04:01] <mati_> what does killall gnome-panel do ?
[04:02] <mati_> it just refreshes gnome or will kill what I have open ?
[04:02] <oscar1> does anyone know how to fix the speakers so that there is no static?? Please help
[04:02] <Brack101> I realize I'm totally nitpicking here....but my gnome panel casts a shadow on all windows underneath it, including maximized windows, which is ugly.  Can I make it not do this without disabling its shadow alltogether?
[04:03] <crdlb> Brack101: no, although metacity has an ugly workaround in its compositor
[04:03] <Brack101> crdlb: go on...
[04:03] <crdlb> Brack101: to where?
[04:04] <oscar1> all that comes out of my speakers is static...does anyone know how to fix this?? Please help
[04:04] <Brack101> how can I use said workaround?
[04:04] <crdlb> metacity
[04:04] <crdlb> you're using compiz
[04:04] <cahaya-05> decha
[04:04] <Brack101> oh so you're saying I have to stop using compiz
[04:04] <crdlb> I just turn off gnome-panel's shadow
[04:05] <crdlb> but if you want the hack, you'd have to use metacity's compositor
[04:05] <Brack101> but then it doesn't cast a shadow on the desktop :(
[04:05] <Brack101> (even more ridiculous I know)
[04:05] <reverendnathan> How flush apt-get's cache?
[04:05] <night-wm> dracie, is there a specific name i should be calling the new *.fdi file?
[04:05] <Dracie> night-wm, anything works
[04:05] <night-wm> dracie, ok
[04:05] <Brack101> I'd rather have it cast a shadow on maximized apps than not at all
[04:05] <waylandbill> reverendnathan, apt-get clean
[04:05] <Brack101> it just bothers me because my desktop looks SO much like leopard but this shadow runs it
[04:06] <waylandbill> Brack101, with the window decorations on the wrong side of the windows and everything? ;-)
[04:06] <Brack101> indeed
[04:07] <nurie> ai............
[04:07] <crdlb> Brack101: the problem is that the panel is stacked above the windows, so the panel's shadow would have to be stacked independently (or a hack in the drawing code would be needed, like metacity does)
[04:08] <Brack101> or it could just be "always below" and then reserve the space on top for it
[04:08] <jochar> hi, anyone here that can help me with pure-ftpd on ubuntu 8.10?
[04:08] <Brack101> http://i44.tinypic.com/2vvrlmu.png - here it is looking like leopard
[04:09] <crdlb> Brack101: think of the bottom panel; windows have to slide under it
[04:09] <waylandbill> jochar, just ask the question and if someone can, they will.
[04:09] <crdlb> the same would happen with the top panel if constrain Y weren't enabled
[04:09] <jochar> ftp: connect: Connection refused
[04:09] <jochar> ^^this is what i get when i try to connect to localhost
[04:10] <waylandbill> Brack101, that is pretty close. Now just attach the current window's menu to the top of the screen and you'll be in business.
[04:10] <shabati> Hello all
[04:10] <Hammerjak> jochar, is the daemon running?
[04:10] <Brack101> http://i40.tinypic.com/rj4i06.jpg here it is with mr. evil shadow ruining my fun
[04:10] <shabati> How do I completely migrate my installation to a different computer?
[04:11] <waylandbill> jochar, is it up and running even?
[04:11] <Scunizi> shabati: will the new computer have an os on it or will what you have now work
[04:11] <reverendnathan> Apt-Get is saying K3b is "upgradable", but it's the same version I have installed. How do I fix this? Already tried "sudo apt-get clean"
[04:11] <jochar> ho do i find that out? when i restart it it seems to be okay
[04:11] <thiebaude1> how do i remove the arrows in the ubuntu menu?
[04:11] <crdlb> reverendnathan: are you getting it from a PPA or something?
[04:12] <Hammerjak> jochar, /etc/init.d/ftpd status
[04:12] <an0n> dido apt get autoclean
[04:12] <Hammerjak> sudo /etc/init.d/ftpd status
[04:13] <shabati> Scunizi: Either way is fine. I can install ubuntu on it
[04:13] <Brack101> ok I kinda figured nobody would really care about my shadow
[04:13] <Brack101> *sigh* I tried
[04:13] <shabati> I'm just looking for a sure fire way to not lose any settings or files
[04:13] <jochar> sudo: /etc/init.d/ftpd: command not found
[04:13] <jochar> samn
[04:13] <lvlefisto> when i double click an html document, it opens in Text Editor, how to change the default app to FireFox?
[04:13] <jochar> damn even
[04:13] <Hammerjak> i don't have pure-ftpd installed so i don't know the exact command
[04:13] <Brack101> jochar: no that's a good thing, now you know what's wrong
[04:13] <crdlb> reverendnathan: there was a bug a long time ago where compiz from the compiz PPA would never disappear from the update-manager because of a capitalisation difference in the metadata
[04:14] <shabati> Scunizi: I have /home installed on a separate partition
[04:14] <Scunizi> shabati: well if  you don't mind wiping out whatever is on the new computer you can use partimage to image your partitions now and restore them to the new machine.. the other way is to  put your current HD into the new machine and boot from it.
[04:14] <crdlb> could be something similar happening now, if you're using a package from outside the main repos
[04:14] <Hammerjak> jochar, type sudo /etc/init.d/pure    then hit tab a couple times and see if it fills in a name
[04:14] <Scunizi> shabati: having /home seperate was a good move.  much easier..
[04:14] <Hammerjak> if it does use that name and type status
[04:14] <shabati> I was thinking of using partimage, but how would that work with a bigger hard drive and/or different hardware??
[04:15] <reverendnathan> crdlb: I have only the ubuntu dbs
[04:15] <jdmnynja> anyone have a good page I can check out to learn unix?
[04:15] <jochar> i got pure-ftpd there
[04:15] <Hammerjak> cool
[04:15] <Hammerjak> sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd status
[04:15] <jochar> # sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd status
[04:15] <jochar> Usage: /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd {start|stop|restart|force-reload}
[04:15] <Hammerjak> dang
