[00:00] <arleslie> razikiel, try rm
[00:00] <Xtremegamer> grody > how to run as root that just put sudo in front is it not ?
[00:00] <linuxguy2009> swoody: There are many other usefull applets there as well.
[00:00] <Dr_willis> andrew__:  becaiuse its almost always the standard editor on most every disrto in one form or another.. and theres times wne you need a good console editor.
[00:00] <swoody> linuxguy2009, legend2440 ok, thanks for the help :)
[00:00] <hittt> why does the shutdown command need root privs, while user-switcher can shutdown without them>
[00:00] <hittt> ?
[00:00] <sarutobisensey> .bahh, you are to bad people (escuse mi english)
[00:00] <linuxguy2009> swoody: Your weclome
[00:00] <grody> Xtremegamer, yes
[00:00] <Dr_willis> hittt:  you can make the shutdown command not need root access.. (sort of) :) but then  any user can just force the system to shutdown at any time.
[00:00] <Xtremegamer> how can i view all programs that use this
[00:00] <Sensiva> I am running ices0.4 on Ubuntu Hardy, How can I reload the playlist?
[00:00] <liam_> sarutobisensey, so what you wandt rid of ubuntu partion
[00:00] <liam_> ?
[00:01] <nexsja> Dr_willis: well actually it has all i need. and it's quite fast
[00:01] <Dr_willis> nexsja:  then i think  Your original 'needs' for a power full editr.. were rather trivial then.
[00:01] <linuxguy2009> Xtremegamer: All programs that use what? sudo?
[00:01] <moniteur> please could someone help find the video driver Intel 83865G Graphics Controller?
[00:01] <Dr_willis> nexsja:   check out 'geany'
[00:01] <sarutobisensey> Liam, I want to eliminate a partition with ubuntu 9.04, and conserv the partition with ubuntu 8.10
[00:01] <Dr_willis> !info geany
[00:01] <raziekiel> arleslie: Isn't rm for files, and rmdir for directories? I need assistance on how to filter the command
[00:01] <Xtremegamer> that use "/var/lib/dpkg/"
[00:02] <nexsja> mmm
[00:02] <arleslie> raziekiel, are you trying to remove files or a directory?
[00:02] <raziekiel> arleslie: Directories
[00:02] <nexsja> i'll check it,thanks :>
[00:02] <miguel> hi
[00:02] <arleslie> then do rm, it'll remove the directories
[00:02] <linuxguy2009> Xtremegamer: Not sure Ive never needed to know that.
[00:02] <liam_> sarutobisensey, try gparted
[00:02] <arleslie> raziekiel, then do rm, it'll remove the directories
[00:03] <Xtremegamer> amsn would use that i guess
[00:03] <moniteur> please could someone help find the video driver Intel 83865G Graphics Controller?
[00:03] <sarutobisensey> thanks Liam, hitt is helpme rigth now
[00:03] <liam_> sarutobisensey, which is under system adimn on the live cd
[00:03] <Xtremegamer> nope still , ill look on how to unlock it then ^
[00:03] <Dr_willis> !intel | moniteur
[00:04] <L3dPlatedLinux> ok was wondering  if I can change the pd name in ubuntu the user@name?
[00:04]  * liam_ goes for a break
[00:04] <linuxguy2009> moniteur: Look in synaptic for intel drivers.
[00:04] <linxeh> moniteur: that sounds very old to me ?
[00:04] <ARMENIAN> when i go to a folder and right click i need to go to open with and then choose open with audacious is there any way i can just select open with audacious without going to open with?
[00:04] <Xtremegamer> found it :)
[00:05] <Loki> Hey. I was wondering, where can I find plugins for Brasero so I can burn video files? When I try to burn some I get a plugin error
[00:05] <ARMENIAN> basically is there a way i can edit the context menus?
[00:05] <linuxguy2009> moniteur: as ubottu pointed out jaunty 9.04 has a regression and if there is not a fix you can refer back to 8.04.3 LTS release with probably better support.
[00:06] <Xtremegamer> where kan i find ekiga ? or does it need to be installed ?
[00:06] <liam_> ARMENIAN, right click on file properties open with
[00:06] <cheerschopper> sudo apt-get install ekiga
[00:07] <ryuho> I'm retarded, I can't google right. How do I limit file access to a specific account? I don't want a XXX user accessing anything outside of their ~/
[00:07] <Brando753> i noticed my computer is sending a lot of data to launch pad https://launchpad.net/+hwdb/+fingerprint/ddaaf95d1d084d11b61fc08435d55c03 , is there a way to stop this?
[00:07] <ARMENIAN> liam_: i know that, but what if i want to do it to a folder?
[00:07] <ARMENIAN> add everything in the folder to the program
[00:07] <linuxguy2009> Xtremegamer: ekiga softphone is under applications, internet. That what you mean?
[00:07] <liam_> um
[00:08] <Dr_willis> L3dPlatedLinux:  check out the 'bash prompt howto' for more information about changeing your prompt then you will ever ever ever need. :)
[00:08] <linuxguy2009> Brando753: Maybe its for the package popularity stuff?
[00:08] <Brando753> either way i dont want reports being sent from my comp
[00:09] <Dr_willis> I recall the installer or somting asking about that when i installed....
[00:09] <linuxguy2009> Brando753: System, Admin, Software Sources. Statistics tab. Untick the box if checked?
[00:10] <linuxguy2009> Brando753: What makes you think stuff is being sent out?
[00:11] <netsurf3> hey does anyone have a guide for enabling concurrent bootsequence?
[00:11] <linuxguy2009> netsurf3: Who? What?
[00:11] <netsurf3> i have a quadcore so i'm sure i could make this machine gallop
[00:11] <netsurf3> linuxguy2009, nano /etc/init.d/rc
[00:11] <arleslie> netsurf3, what do you mean by concurrent bootsequence
[00:11] <spidey-t> I reckon this may all be a bit above my head in this place
[00:11] <Xtremegamer> i get /dev/video0  , tested it with pulling out webcam and it is indeed my webcam , still cheese nor ekiga cant find it
[00:11] <moniteur> Linxeh i know the driver for windows, but i'm on ubuntu now and i don't have the compatible driver
[00:12] <netsurf3> arleslie, there is a way to load scripts in the init levels in parallel
[00:12] <Sinatra_Laptop> to get this straight, if i want to dual boot cleanly, i must install Windows FIRST than install Ubuntu?
[00:12] <netsurf3> so instead of loading bluetooth then networking for example it will start them all at the same time based on their priority numbers
[00:12] <netsurf3> the problems come with dependencies
[00:12] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra_Laptop: Yes from what i have read and heard.
[00:12] <netsurf3> hence my request for a guide
[00:13] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra_Laptop: Or Wubi or virtual machine one of em.
[00:13] <moniteur> i've a Dell Optiplex GX270
[00:13] <Sinatra_Laptop> i tried to VBOX it ... but then i have a problem with USB
[00:13] <Xtremegamer> Sinatra_Laptop : as windows distroy's the grub loader
[00:13] <arleslie> netsurf3, I have no idea what you are talking about
[00:13] <Sinatra_Laptop> Wubi? never heard of that
[00:13] <netsurf3> arleslie, http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Concurrent_boot_sequence
[00:13] <linuxguy2009> moniteur: You the one having intel graphics issues?
[00:13] <arleslie> Sinatra_Laptop, wubi is a Windows Side install of Ubuntu
[00:14] <howie> Im installing ubuntu  on one of my old comps and its showing all these ata1.01 status {DRDY} Frozen timeout stuff..
[00:14] <arleslie> !wubi > Sinatra_Laptop
[00:14] <GaryY> This is my first time using IRC Chat....I just want to be sure my messages are being seen
[00:14] <th0r> netsurf3: a quick google found a number of references for jaunty
[00:14] <izzy> I was wondering if I installed an apt package from 8.04 would it break apt in 9.04?
[00:14] <linuxguy2009> howie: 8.04 or 9.04?
[00:14] <howie> anyone have any info on what that might be?
[00:14] <netsurf3> th0r, thanks i'll check it out then
[00:14] <howie> linuxguy2009: 9.04
[00:14] <arleslie> netsurf3, you'll have to get someone else as I don't get any of that.
[00:15] <moniteur> how find it?
[00:15] <linuxguy2009> howie: Verified burn?
[00:15] <netsurf3> arleslie, okay :)
[00:15] <Xtremegamer> what to do if cheese or ekiga dont find my webcam ,  ubuntu finds it as /dev/video0 so
[00:15] <howie> linuxguy2009: yes iv uses the cd twice on diff boxes
[00:15] <Sinatra_Laptop> mmm Wubi is a pretty interesting feature
[00:16] <linuxguy2009> howie: Must be a compatibility issue with the release. Try the 8.04.3 LTS released a week ago. Might be better for your machine.
[00:17] <howie> linuxguy2009: so its probly just cause this box is an old piecer ? :0
[00:17] <arleslie> Sinatra_Laptop, Wubi is basicly an alt. for dual-booting as it does it all for you.
[00:17] <linuxguy2009> Xtremegamer: check google or youtube see if others have the issue and can help you.
[00:17] <linuxguy2009>  howie: no not that at all.
[00:18] <linuxguy2009>  howie: The LTS has many, many updates integrated and has been tested more then 9.04 has been so far.
[00:18] <xtremegamer_> can i at least have some debug or fault trown at me cause now i hav nothing to go on ...
[00:18] <howie> linuxguy2009: ok cool
[00:18] <paddy-melon> wats gonna be new in 9.10
[00:18] <linuxguy2009>  howie:Probably something like 200-300 updates in it.
[00:19] <Sinatra_Laptop> really?? is this true about 8.04 R 3? it means it might allow my webcam to work on Ubuntu?
[00:20] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra_Laptop: 9.04 will have a newer kernel than 8.04.3 so in theory 9.04 should have more hardware support.
[00:20] <Sinatra_Laptop> with Wubi ... my computer will boot to Windows, then it opens up Ubuntu as a function of WIndows? kind of like the reverse of a Windows Virtual Machine in Ubuntu?
[00:20] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra_Laptop: You can also do the reverse, you can install ubuntu as main OS, and install Windows in a virtual machine.
[00:21] <Sinatra_Laptop> that's what i just tried today ... but the VBOX is cutting off my USB access
[00:21] <paddy-melon> virtual box rox
[00:21] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra_Laptop: Did you install vbox from the repositories?
[00:21] <paddy-melon> u have to mount it
[00:21] <Sinatra_Laptop> from Synaptic yes
[00:21] <arleslie> Sinatra_Laptop, linuxguy2009, Wubi isn't virtual, it just installs linux on the C:\ drive and allows it to boot from htat.
[00:21] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra_Laptop: The repository vbox is the open source version and does not support USB.
[00:21] <paddy-melon> with vbox options
[00:22] <th0r> Sinatra_Laptop: you need to install Vbox 3.0 not the OSE, and then you need to install the Virtualbox Additions
[00:22] <linuxguy2009> arleslie:  Your preaching to the choir there guy. hehe
[00:22] <arleslie> linuxguy2009, is that a good thing?
[00:22] <burner22> hello
[00:22] <Sinatra_Laptop> BUT you have to boot to Windows then from Windows you start Ubuntu?
[00:23] <Sinatra_Laptop> i ideally would LOVE to stay with Ubuntu but i can't deal with the lack of drivers
[00:23] <arleslie> Sinatra_Laptop, no, the windows boot screen will come up asking which one you want to boot to
[00:23] <linuxguy2009> arleslie: I already know what wubi and vbox are. I dont require an explanation. hehe
[00:23] <xtremegamer_> does there exist a "bootcamp" for pc in general ?
[00:23] <nevyn> Sinatra_Laptop: what drivers are you missing?
[00:23] <paddy-melon> bootcamp... just install a new partition
[00:23] <burner22> im trying to install unbutu but its stuck at importing documents
[00:24] <arleslie> linuxguy2009, ok, sorry, its just I've used wubi before and I didn't get your explanation all the way so I was trying to clear up some info just incase
[00:24] <linxeh> xtremegamer_: you can multiboot a pc, yes. ubuntu uses grub to achieve this
[00:24] <Sinatra_Laptop> well i have a toshiba laptop ... and i can't get my built in mic to work (thus i can't use skype) but the built in webcam works fine on cheese
[00:24] <z0n> Can my X4500HD play ET:QW on Ubuntu?
[00:24] <paddy-melon> xtremegmer, new partitions
[00:24] <Sinatra_Laptop> the other issue is when i try to use my logitech 9000 webcam which is a USB job ... i town't recongize that
[00:25] <xtremegamer_> linxeh > what i mean is switch to an OS actively like with a scroll hop from windows to linux :p
[00:25] <linuxguy2009>  Sinatra_Laptop: You may just need to learn to use the sound preferences in system, preferences, sound. Set the right device to record etc.
[00:25] <xtremegamer_> and not emulated
[00:25] <z0n> Hello?
[00:25] <linuxguy2009> Hola!
[00:25] <izzy> I was wondering if I installed an apt package from 8.04 would it break apt in 9.04?
[00:25] <sarutobisensey> alguien más habla español acá?
[00:26] <nw-b> hello, how can I concatenate several tab delimited text files with similar data into a single file using a script? under win I used "copy *01 + *02 + ... *0n outputfile.txt"
[00:26] <n1lqj> .  /usr/include/c++/cstdlib missing includes.  need auto_ptr, found debian bug report 1 1/2 years old but can find bug report in launch pad..  anyone have any ideas?
[00:26] <z0n> Ehhhhhhhhh simi nei kima @,@
[00:26] <arleslie> !es | sarutobisensey
[00:26] <n1lqj> sorry 4.3.2
[00:26] <linuxguy2009> izzy: 9.04 has its own set of repository packages and libraries you generally dont mix em.
[00:26] <linuxguy2009> izzy: besides the 9.04 repos have newer versions of most apps.
[00:26] <erUSUL> nw-b: cat *01 *02  ... *0n > outputfile.txt
[00:26] <lstarnes> izzy: there's a small chance that it could, but mixing versions with packages isn't usually a good idea
[00:27] <Sinatra_Laptop> linux guy .. i found it as an uncorrect error
[00:27] <erUSUL> nw-b: assuming the *01 etc where the file names
[00:27] <jelly-bean1> how can i install the adobe reader plugin for firefox in ubuntu?
[00:27] <z0n> Can I play ET:QW on Ubuntu with my X4500HD or not? :(
[00:27] <Sinatra> alright easier to talk here
[00:27] <lstarnes> z0n: what is ET:QW?
[00:27] <erUSUL> z0n: do not see why not
[00:27] <nw-b> erUSUL, yeah, those are the files. Is it possible to add a newline after adding each file?
[00:28] <linuxguy2009> z0n: the id software ftp site has .run linux files to install there games to linux.
[00:28] <izzy> Thanks.
[00:28] <pepperjack> z0n: what does glxgears say about it?
[00:28] <z0n> I thought there were problems with Intel on Ubuntu?
[00:28] <frak_> ok lol how can I upgrade to Mesa 7.5?
[00:28] <lstarnes> z0n: I heard there were some issues with Intel graphics cards in 9.04
[00:28] <linuxguy2009> z0n: Does your card have openGL working?
[00:28] <xtremegamer_> were to find easycam 2 ?
[00:28] <z0n> I don't know, I haven't installed Ubuntu yet
[00:28] <Sinatra> i'll try to look into this later
[00:28] <erUSUL> nw-b: create a file with only a newline and us it ?
[00:29] <paddy-melon> hey,
[00:29] <linuxguy2009> z0n: I think in general most gamers on linux use nvidia or ati not sure of the driver support for intel and opengl on linux.
[00:29] <paddy-melon> does anyone here have an aspire one
[00:29] <teooo> when u install ubuntu server 8.10, does it have a terminal or a desktop environment by default ?
[00:29] <z0n> On my old PC I had 8.10 with Nvidia and it worked, but all this bad stuff with Intel is kind of confusing.
[00:29] <paddy-melon> im looking at buying one
[00:29] <rww> teooo: Server has terminal by default.
[00:29] <linuxguy2009> paddy-melon: What is your issue?
[00:29] <erUSUL> nw-b: echo -n "\n" > newline.txt
[00:29] <lstarnes> teooo: why would a server have a desktop environment?
[00:29] <sebsebseb> teooo: why 8.10 server?  8.04 is recommended for servers since it's the long term support
[00:29] <lstarnes> teooo: it's terminal-based
[00:29] <paddy-melon> oh no, no issue
[00:29] <pepperjack> teooo: ubuntu server is pretty much normal ubuntu cli only with a diff kernel
[00:29] <Sinatra> what the hell you can't open rar files in ubuntu?
[00:29] <paddy-melon> just wanna see if its good
[00:29] <nw-b> erUSUL, probably that would work, but I need to keep it as simple as possible, and using the least amount of files.
[00:30] <rww> !rar | Sinatra
[00:30] <lstarnes> teooo: but you can optionally install a desktop environment later
[00:30] <izzy> Any opinions of CNR in ubuntu?
[00:30] <paddy-melon> and if i should buy it
[00:30] <erUSUL> nw-b: cat 01 newline.txt 02 newline.txt  ... newline.txt 0n > outputfile.txt
[00:30] <nw-b> erUSUL, ok, I will try that
[00:30] <z0n> Does noone know at all? :(
[00:30] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra: add/remove search for RAR
[00:30] <teooo> thanks to all ppl, have a great time :)
[00:30] <lstarnes> Sinatra: you can use rar if you have the right utilities
[00:30] <sebsebseb> teooo: np
[00:30] <linuxguy2009> z0n:  What else do you need to know?
[00:30] <Sinatra> i'll just have to check synaptic
[00:31] <paddy-melon> anyone got an aspire one?
[00:31] <z0n> If amy X4500HD will work well enough under Jaunty to play ET:QW?
[00:31] <z0n> my*
[00:31] <linuxguy2009> paddy-melon: youtube has good reviews.
[00:31] <linuxguy2009> try there maybe
[00:31] <paddy-melon> k
[00:31] <Sinatra> any suggestions for a good rar program for ubuntu i'm in synaptic now
[00:31] <paddy-melon> ill try there then
[00:32] <linxeh> xtremegamer_: you realise that bootcamp doesnt do that right ?
[00:32] <unop> Sinatra, rar and unrar
[00:32] <lstarnes> z0n: I don't think anybody here knows definitively, but it likely could if it has a linux version and you have working 3D rendering
[00:32] <linuxguy2009> Sinatra: search for RAR its pretty easy.
[00:32] <paddy-melon> thanks
[00:32] <xtremegamer_> yes :)
[00:32] <Sinatra> i did i found unrar
[00:32] <paddy-melon> hey, if i have the src of a programm
[00:32] <Sinatra> just wondering if anybody known of a better solution
[00:32] <lstarnes> z0n: if the linux version fails, you could try running the windows version using wine
[00:32] <paddy-melon> made for win
[00:32] <rww> Sinatra: download the unrar package. It plugs into GNOME's archive manager and works fine.
[00:32] <z0n> Lol, I'm basically asking of the Intel drivers in Jaunty work well now.
[00:32] <z0n> if*
[00:32] <paddy-melon> consisting entirely of c++
[00:33] <linuxguy2009> z0n: try some of the 3d screensavers and you will know if you have opengl going.
[00:33] <paddy-melon> how hard is it to convert?
[00:33] <pepperjack> Sinatra: unrar e file.rar   or unrar e *.r00 for multipart files.  i dont know of a gui front end offhand
[00:33] <arleslie> Sinatra, 7zip, and Archive Manager
[00:33] <z0n> Do they work with the LiveCD?
[00:33] <Zelfje> Sinatra: just apt-get install rar
[00:33] <linuxguy2009> paddy-melon: I believe file roller uses unrar and you can open and resave to whatever you want.
[00:33] <rww> pepperjack: if you install unrar, GNOME's archive manager gains the ability to open RAR files automagically.
[00:33] <z0n> Anyway I would have to install the latest driver yeah?
[00:34] <linuxguy2009> z0n: If there are intel linux drivers sure.
[00:34] <lstarnes> z0n: the drivers in the repos should work iirc
[00:34] <erUSUL> nw-b: or add te newline to the end of the files before catting them... ? for file in *; do echo -n "\n" >> $file; done
[00:34] <paddy-melon> linuxguy2009, huh? does this mean i can compile for ubuntu
[00:34] <z0n> Heh, I don't want to install it if it won't work as I hate dual booting.
[00:34] <linuxguy2009> paddy-melon: huh?
[00:34] <erUSUL> nw-b: assuming that the dir only contains the files you want to manipulate
[00:34] <rww> paddy-melon: it depends on which libraries the program uses.
[00:35] <linuxguy2009> paddy-melon: hehe thought you wanted to convert RAR to tar.gz etc. Missed the c+ line. my bad.
[00:35] <paddy_melon> soz
[00:35] <paddy_melon> back
[00:35] <linuxguy2009> paddy-melon: Check out some of the IDE for ubuntu maybe they con compile for it not sure.
[00:35] <nw-b> erUSUL, thanks
[00:35] <z0n> T_T
[00:35] <paddy_melon> k
[00:36] <paddy_melon> thanks
[00:36] <z0n> Does anyone here use an Intel IGP?
[00:36] <xtremegamer_> how to repair broken packet?
[00:36] <JoAnneThrax> How does one check the battery in a laptop?
[00:36] <houssem> hi
[00:36] <JoAnneThrax> I.e.: what do I run that'll tell me how much power/time is left?
[00:37] <unop> erUSUL, nw-b. without affecting the original files.  for file in *; do cat "$file"; echo -n "\n"; done >> big_new_file
[00:37] <linuxguy2009> JoAnneThrax: The gnome panel has a battery charge level applet you can add.
[00:37] <z0n> You should have a little icon on the taskbar
[00:37] <hittt> JoAnneThrax: Power Manager 2.24.2
[00:37] <erUSUL> unop: ty
[00:37] <z0n> Seriously, does anyone have an Intel IGP?
[00:38] <iNTEX> j/ #remote-exploit
[00:38] <linuxguy2009> z0n: If someone did they would say. Please quit repeating it.  And don't be so patronising ¬¬
[00:38] <erUSUL> 1intel | z0n
[00:38] <one23> hai
[00:38] <erUSUL> !intel | z0n
[00:38] <xtremegamer_> how to repair a broken packet
[00:39] <z0n> I know that, I'm asking if the UPGRADED drivers work!
[00:39] <linuxguy2009> z0n: Sorry if you dont like our help. Your free to try other rooms.:)
[00:39] <z0n> You mean ignoring me, and then telling me too shut up?
[00:39] <boogiewookie> oki , custom kernel , grub no f/&&&ing initrd it keeps whining over my root= option
[00:39] <z0n> Ok bye
[00:40] <linuxguy2009> z0n: Goodbye
[00:40] <pepperjack> z0n: often ubuntuforums.org is of more help with the more detailed questions like this.  latest drivers and stuff. im sure others have explored the possiblity on the forums
[00:40] <paddy_melon> lol
[00:40] <boogiewookie> cant turn on framebutter so cant see what legakl options
[00:40] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: if you do not use initrd you can't use uuid in the root option
[00:40] <linuxguy2009> zon got mad and left.
[00:40] <boogiewookie> why cant i just boot a custom kernel like the good old days
[00:40] <boogiewookie> i dont use the ugly uuid
[00:41] <boogiewookie> i use root (hd0,0)
[00:41] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: works  for me; i use allways custom kernel
[00:41] <Brent_Roth> i'm looking for the source for syscalls ... currently looking in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24 ... where exactly is it from here?
[00:41] <boogiewookie> by boot partition
[00:41] <linuxguy2009> Anyone else in need of some help before I go?
[00:41] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: doesnt the new sata drivers call devices sdaN ????
[00:41] <spastic_teapot> Is anyone here using Boxee?
[00:41] <Brent_Roth> linuxguy2009, sure, can you tell me where the source for syscall is?
[00:42] <boogiewookie> linuxguy2009: boot custom  kernel without initrd
[00:42] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: i mean in the kernel line ... here kernel          /vmlinuz root=UUID=22b22080-8f07-4864-9b26-a62f2e8c96f7 ro single <<<< whiot initrd you can not use root=UUID=whatever
[00:42] <linuxguy2009> Brent_Roth:  Have you searched synaptic with Source repos enabled?
[00:42] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: yes they do
[00:42] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: i use kernel (hd0,0)/kernel.2.6.30
[00:42] <Brent_Roth> linuxguy2009: negative
[00:42] <unop> Brent_Roth, syscall.h ??
[00:42] <linuxguy2009> Brent_Roth: try that
[00:42] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: the easiest way is to create the initrd
[00:42] <boogiewookie> NO!!!!
[00:42] <boogiewookie> bad boy
[00:42] <Brent_Roth> unop: yeah, that's part of what I'm looking for, just trying to find it
[00:43] <boogiewookie> no compromises
[00:43] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: but you need to pass it the root option
[00:43] <linuxguy2009> boogiewookie: custom kernel? eek no mans land for I. sorry
[00:43] <unop> Brent_Roth, search for syscall.h at http://packages.ubuntu.com for packages that might have this file.
[00:43] <boogiewookie> linuxguy2009: you call yourself a man ?
[00:43] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: root=$(whatever partition holds init)
[00:43] <boogiewookie> xD
[00:43] <Brent_Roth> unop, thank you
[00:43] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: hmmmm
[00:44] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: well ive got root (hd0,0)
[00:44] <linuxguy2009> boogiewookie: hehe Questioning my manhood are we?
[00:44] <Pricey> linuxguy2009: offtopic here
[00:44] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: that line is for grub not for the kernel
[00:44] <boogiewookie> kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.30 root=/dev/sda2
[00:44] <spastic_teapot> Does anyone here know if there's an Ubuntu driver for a GeForce2 Ultra video card that supports OpenGL 1.4?
[00:45] <linuxguy2009> Pricey: Excuse me? Umm please keep comments to youeself thank you.
[00:45] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: ok if you pass root=/dev/sda2 it should work
[00:45] <boogiewookie> :(
[00:45] <boogiewookie> it doesnt
[00:45] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: assuming /dev/sda2 is the root partition /
[00:45] <xtremegamer_> ok so easycam 2 finds cam installs drivers fine , still no applications tend to find my cam :/
[00:45] <boogiewookie> it says bla bla ,, unregnised block hda2 or (hd0,0) options are : (HIDDEN WITHOUT FRAmebUFFER)
[00:46] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: it should be, according to mount
[00:46] <boogiewookie> stupid /%(¤%)&%¤)¤¤¤"#¤=
[00:46] <linuxguy2009> Ok Im outta here. God bless the internet trolls! Yes its offtopic get over it.Bye.
[00:46] <gastaufdemast> how do I format one FDD with 1722K ?
[00:47] <graft> yo, anyone know how to read a text file into my copy/paste buffer?
[00:47] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: well i've never edit grub directly just copy the files to /boot/ and sudo update-grub does the right thing (tm)
[00:47] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: also if i dont give it initrd loving ?
[00:48] <graft> anyone? anyone?
[00:48] <boogiewookie> FFS ,,,,,
[00:48] <kholerabbi> hey I need to change the owner/permissions for a home directory and contents. Could someone _please_ tell me the command??
[00:48] <boogiewookie> maybe my memory is just rusted
[00:49] <hittt> chmod
[00:49] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: well it all depends ... did you compiled as *not* modules the drivers of the sata controller and filesystem you use in root ?
[00:49] <graft> kholerabbi: what do you need to do? change owner or permissions?
[00:49] <graft> kholerabbi: 'chown' changes the owner, 'chmod' changes permissions
[00:49] <boogiewookie> but i want this to work wo stinkin initrd
[00:49] <kholerabbi> graft: owner
[00:49] <erUSUL> kholerabbi: chown and chmod
[00:49] <erUSUL> !permissions | kholerabbi
[00:49] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: no
[00:49] <kholerabbi> graft: "sudo chown will:will /home/will" but for all the files... thanks
[00:49] <graft> kholerabbi: chown <user>.<group> <file> will do it.. probably need a sudo
[00:50] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: then you need the initrd
[00:50] <datakid> hola. I'm looking for the "bourne shell" in the repos - does it exist. please note I am not after "the bourne again shell" (bash) but rather the old stylee "sh"
[00:50] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: im pretty sure the kernel crashes at another point then
[00:50] <graft> kholerabbi: ah.. try chown -R
[00:50] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: i compiled just about all sata driver IN-KERNEL
[00:50] <boogiewookie> 'drivers
[00:50] <erUSUL> datakid: computer arqueology ?
[00:50] <boogiewookie> all which werent expermental or esoteric
[00:50] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: the filesystem needs to be in kernel too
[00:51] <boogiewookie> i know
[00:51] <boogiewookie> did that too
[00:51] <kholerabbi> graft: Thank you!!! that seems to have done it. The gui dialog is so broken. Changing the owner and then clicking apply to all files just doesn't work :/
[00:51] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: then i dunno...
[00:51] <datakid> erUSUL, ? if you are asking what I think you are, no I'm doing a unix sys admin subject that requires us to learn pure standards sh
[00:51] <gastaufdemast> anyone has an idea how to format a floppy with 1.7Megs ?
[00:52] <datakid> I am happy to download and compile the source, I just presumed it would be available in the repositories
[00:52] <erUSUL> datakid: you can make bash be strictly posix compatible passing it a command line option... also dash default sh in ubuntu is already strictly posix
[00:52] <erUSUL> datakid: so if you use plain sh in ubuntu you are safe
[00:52] <datakid> erUSUL, thanks for the heads up, will check it out :0
[00:52] <datakid> :) rather
[00:53] <graft> gastaufdemast: what is a floppy?
[00:53] <erUSUL> datakid: no problem
[00:53] <nevyn> graft: srsly?
[00:54] <arleslie> graft, A floppy is a disk type storage unit
[00:54] <LacobF> How do I find what file is my sound output in /dev or /etc?
[00:54] <erUSUL> gastaufdemast: fdformat
[00:54] <arleslie> gastaufdemast, you can try with gParted but I don't know if gParted does floppys
[00:54] <gastaufdemast> graft - lol - the little thingy you put into the squirting squeezing drive, you know...
[00:55] <unop> LacobF, it's one of these.  ls /dev/dsp /dev/snd*
[00:55] <graft> gastaufdemast: just being facetious... your question is so archaic
[00:56] <gastaufdemast> :]
[00:57] <nevyn> gastaufdemast: superformat from the fdutils package can do it.
[00:57] <nevyn> however it remains insane
[00:57] <P_Kable> Hello, I need assistance from someone who knows iSCSI initiator on ubuntu (open-iscsi) please
[00:58] <gastaufdemast> nevyn - trying fdformat now...
[00:58] <nw-b> what is the terminal command to display the content of a text file?
[00:58] <Guest72970> Hi, how do I switch to #ubuntu-beginners-help on irc.freenode.net ?
[00:59] <gastaufdemast> nw-b - cat filename
[00:59] <arleslie> Guest72970, do /join #ubuntu-beginners-help
[01:00] <pepperjack> nw-b: shift pgup and down to scroll
[01:00] <Guest72970> do /join #ubuntu-beginners-help
[01:00] <LacobF> ugh
[01:01] <owen1> can i install the 64 bit on a macbook pro?
[01:01] <arleslie> Guest72970, its /join #ubuntu-beginners-help not do /join #ubuntu- beginners-help
[01:01] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: you tried at least thx anyway
[01:01] <pepperjack> owen1: the livecd is a great way to test this. burn a 64 bit and then an 386 one. im not sure what your processor is
[01:01] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: im double checking lspci and kernel ,,and it seems i got it all in
[01:01] <erUSUL> boogiewookie: no problem
[01:02] <owen1> pepperjack: thanks, it's macbookpro 5.1.
[01:02] <boogiewookie> erUSUL: so im guessing ive simply forgot how to conf grub manually
[01:02] <ScottG> Anyone here use Exaile? After the first track I play changes the wiki information all goes blank and I can't get it back unless I restart Exaile (Then the same thing happens again)

[01:06] <gastaufdemast> pw-toxic    did you try killall ?
[01:06] <arleslie> Guest59801, in thunderbird, you can view all headers and find the server address the email was sent from
[01:06] <unop> pw-toxic, what is the state of this process in the process table?
[01:06] <Guestjondavis> ok how do you do it
[01:06] <madarieder> does anybody know how to run ubuntu netbook remix as a live image?
[01:06] <bumblebee> does anyone know which telescope works with stellarium??
[01:06] <pw-toxic> gastaufdemast, killall doesnt work either
[01:06] <pw-toxic> how can i check the state
[01:07] <pw-toxic> unop, its rhythmbox btw
[01:07] <arleslie> madarieder, you can do an external cd rom drive, or you can run it on a USB drive
[01:07] <madarieder> arleslie, I have it on a USB drive.. I don't know what to do next though.
[01:07] <unop> pw-toxic, it all depends on the state of this process. what is it?  ps aux | grep -i 4993
[01:09] <arleslie> madarieder, in your bios, you need to enable boot from USB (if your bios supports this) then stick your USB drive in your computer turn it on, and press Boot Menu (F12 usually) and select the USB drive
[01:09] <nevyn> gastaufdemast: you want to make a 1.6GB 5.25" floppy?
[01:09] <izap> lol
[01:10] <renic> what are the hotkeys to change virtual desktops in gnome?
[01:10] <nevyn> floppy disks were great when they were $50 for a 10pack

[01:13] <gastaufdemast> nevyn - lol - 1Terabyte-on-a-floppy
[01:13] <alteregox> haha
[01:13] <alteregox> maybe iomega would made that
[01:13] <alteregox> but iomega is over
[01:13] <reed> how does one get ubuntu moblin remix?
[01:13] <alteregox> iomega zip drives what a crap
[01:13] <unop> pw-toxic, the process is in state D (uninterruptable sleep) - meaning it cannot respond to any signals (from kill, etc) and it means it is waiting on an IO operation to complete first (reading from a disk, network, web URL, etc)
[01:14] <unop> pw-toxic, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_sleep
[01:14] <alteregox> i always shared harddisks, they are more reliable and cheaper comapred to the zip drives at its time
[01:14] <pw-toxic> unop, so i cant kill it unless i reboot?
[01:14] <gastaufdemast> pw-toxic    killall -g could kill a whole group...
[01:14] <pw-toxic> unop, i want to hear musik ,(

[01:14] <djmadness> Hi, i am currently setting up ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, ive successfully installed the nvidia drivers and setup multiple display (for when i am at home so i can put a external monitor in) however when i press fn+f5 (the key combo to switch between displays) the system does not automaticly adjust the resulution. Is there anywhere i can set this ?
[01:14] <pw-toxic> gastaufdemast, which group should i killl
[01:15] <unop> pw-toxic, well, you are going to have to sort the issue this process is having first - are you playing music from an external source (external HDD or network drive) ?
[01:15] <alteregox> gastauftdemspast ?
[01:15] <pw-toxic> unop, im playing from my fileserver by samba!
[01:15] <pw-toxic> ext4 raid5 4 * 1tb
[01:15] <unop> pw-toxic, right, is the fileserver currently accessible?
[01:16] <pw-toxic> the fileserver is my NAT router ;K) i can chat -> it works ;)
[01:16] <rambo2_981> djmadness, is this an upgrade or fresh install?
[01:16] <alteregox> fileserver lol
[01:16] <djmadness> rambo2_981, fresh install
[01:16] <alteregox> help your FS is your router!
[01:16] <pw-toxic> and yes i can access the folder
[01:16] <unop> pw-toxic, that's not proof that samba is up and running fine tho ... do check!
[01:16] <alteregox> are you MAD?!
[01:16] <alteregox> i would at least use VMWARE for such stuff
[01:17] <pw-toxic> unop, i can access the 2,7 TB folder of my raid5
[01:17] <alteregox> vmware ipcop and whatever
[01:17] <rambo2_981> djmadness, did you load the latest driver from nvidia? they just released an update on july 1 that won't make repos because of eulas
[01:17] <arleslie> alteregox, Please unless you  need help or you are helping please don't comment on other people
[01:18] <unop> pw-toxic, issue a   ps ef | grep -i 4993  - and look out for the file rbox might be playing. is that file accessible on the shared folder?
[01:18] <djmadness> rambo2_981, i am using version 173 from the jockey utility... 180 does not seam to work on my system for some funny reason
[01:18] <pw-toxic> unop, the output of this command is not human readable ;)
[01:19] <gastaufdemast> arleslie - dftt
[01:19] <unop> pw-toxic, not straight away no, but you can discern info if you look hard enough.

[01:24] <sebsebseb> Steve_: you need to get directlly from the site, and then enable the USB
[01:24] <rambo2_981> djmadness,edit your xorg.conf and check its settings; here's a site that may help => http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/howto/Set+Up+Dual+Monitors+-+xorg.conf
[01:24] <Steve_> sebsebseb: So is there a reason for going with VB over VMW?
[01:24] <pw-toxic> unop, i cant get any helpful information out of this string
[01:24] <Steve_> sebsebseb: OK
[01:24] <unop> pw-toxic, put it up on a pastebin.
[01:24] <sebsebseb> Steve_: yep it's  better for what you want to use it for, it can also use VMDK files
[01:25] <sebsebseb> Steve_: vmware files
[01:25] <Steve_> sebsebseb: Cool thanks
[01:25] <jiffe99> alright, I am trying to remove mysql-server, but when I apt-get remove mysql-server, it also wants to remove the client
[01:26] <pw-toxic> unop, where is the difference between pastebin and my blog?
[01:26] <arleslie> jiffe99, Just remove the server and reinstall the client
[01:26] <unop> pw-toxic, pastebins can be accessed through scripts that download content to the viewer's machine
[01:27] <sebsebseb> Steve_: np  so you got a Windows VM working with it now or?
[01:27] <erikk71> hi all
[01:27] <tonsofpcs> got a em28xx/tvp5150 usb device   eb1a:2820 eMPIA Technology, Inc.  i've used it as a tuner with linux before but in jaunty everything is reporting that it lacks a tuner.  any ideas for a small linux distro that i can stick on a flash drive that might work?
[01:28] <Brent_Roth> unop: all that searching the repositories does is give me the perl-syscall-lib
[01:28] <Steve_> sebsebseb: I did have, but right now I am resetting up my main computer.
[01:28] <erikk71> found another intesting live cd os
[01:28]  * morehugs hugs morehugs
[01:28] <arleslie> tonsofpcs, you can either go back to the linux it worked on before or you can try DSL
[01:29] <djmadness> rambo2_981, i think we are talking past each other :) (i have dual display working. but i am forced to manually switch resolution to fit everything on screen.) it worked with the default ubuntu driver (well ofcource without 3d acceleration) but not with the nvidia driver. all i was asking was if there is anywhere i can via either configuration file/some click your way to happyness method for me to have the resolution automaticly chang
[01:29] <djmadness> itors need when i plug in the external display either automaticly or with the hotkey that activates the secondary display
[01:29] <tonsofpcs> arleslie: dsl has v4l and v4l2/
[01:29] <pw-toxic> unop, ack -> http://pastebin.com/m13a38f3

[01:29] <richardcavell> here we go again
[01:29] <Steve_> sebsebseb:It is just taking me agers to find a guide that shows me how to install XP from a USB that actuarly works!
[01:29] <Brent_Roth> unop: I simply need the "syscall" function that is called from the syscall gate
[01:29] <tonsofpcs> the distro it worked with before was hardy, arleslie
[01:29] <arleslie> tonsofpcs, then go back to 8.10
[01:30] <unop> Brent_Roth, have you asked the #perl folks about this? they might point you to something on CPAN.
[01:30] <tonsofpcs> arleslie: can't, different machine, this machine can't run 8.10 well.
[01:30] <ILMAN5> Hey
[01:30] <Brent_Roth> unop: i don't need anything with perl ... i want the basic "syscall" function that is in the linux kernel in Ubuntu's src
[01:31] <arleslie> tonsofpcs, oh, thats odd I've never heard of a machine able to run one version of ubuntu and not the other.
[01:31] <unop> pw-toxic, this line seems to be the line corresponding to grep not rbox
[01:31] <sebsebseb> Steve_: they can probably help in ##windows with that

[01:31] <arleslie> tonsofpcs, try using a different driver if possible
[01:31] <jnewt> backend setup terminal and get X Error Badmatch invalid parameter attributes 8 major opcode 62, minor opcode 0 resource id: 0x240000b.  is this an easy fix, or will it take hours
[01:32] <Steve_> sebsebseb: Of couse
[01:32] <Steve_> sebsebseb: Thanks again
[01:32] <unop> pw-toxic, ps ef | grep -i 499[3]
[01:32] <ILMAN5> i have a problem
[01:32] <rambo2_981> djmadness,the /etc/X11/xorg.conf configures the entire X interface, including settings (All settings) for single and dual displays/monitors; would you have reconfigured with envy or with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[01:32] <ILMAN5> sometimes it happens
[01:32] <sebsebseb> Steve_: ok np
[01:32] <kwaa_> is there any IM client for the terminal?
[01:32] <pw-toxic> unop,  ps ef | grep -i 4993  i used this command as you said
[01:32] <izap> kwaa_: bitlbee
[01:32] <jiffe99> hmm, well I tried installing mysql-server-5.1 from an alternate repository since 8.04 doesn't have it, but I get a bunch of 404s
[01:32] <kwaa_> is there any IM client for the terminal?a
[01:32] <ILMAN5> the programs changer to black
[01:32] <kwaa_> hank you
[01:32] <unop> pw-toxic, but the line i want didn't come up in the output:)
[01:33] <arleslie> jiffe, just do sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[01:33] <unop> pw-toxic, verify the process id.
[01:33] <arleslie> jiffe99, just do sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[01:33] <jiffe99> I want 5.1 rather than 5.0 though
[01:33] <jiffe99> mysql-server is still 5.0
[01:33] <arleslie> jiffe99, you can download from mysql.com
[01:33] <owen1> i have macbookpro 5.1. it has intel core 2 duo.  what CD should i burn?
[01:34] <jiffe99> yeah, I can install from source, was just hoping for a repo with it
[01:34] <unop> jiffe99, mysql has a repo of its own
[01:34] <pw-toxic> unop,  4993 ?        00:00:16 rhythmbox
[01:34] <pw-toxic> ps -e
[01:34] <unop> jiffe99, a debian/ubuntu repo i.e.
[01:35]  * morehugs hugs morehugs and slaps the butt
[01:35] <unop> pw-toxic, maybe you ought to just reboot TBH. i'm not even sure all this will lead to a resolution.
[01:35] <ScottG> Anyone here use Exaile? After the first track I play changes the wiki information all goes blank and I can't get it back unless I restart Exaile (Then the same thing happens again)
[01:35] <pw-toxic> unop, TBH?
[01:35] <unop> pw-toxic, to be honest.
[01:36] <jiffe99> hmm
[01:36] <pw-toxic> unop, this is very strange.. i thought kill -9 can always kill anything...
[01:36] <Dekko> Just a quck question before I go to bed: Does anyone know why I get thumbnails for some videos but not for others? And then I mean they are of the same kind OGM or AVI in the same folder.... but some get a picture and others don't....
[01:36] <Brent_Roth> unop: basically, I'm looking for the equivalent to the function "syscall" in "/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/trap.c" in FreeBSD, but on Ubuntu
[01:36] <pw-toxic> unop, concerning this.. windows seems to be better ;/
[01:36] <unop> pw-toxic, processes in certain states cannot respond to signals (for obvious reasons) - even on windows.
[01:37] <pw-toxic> unop, but i never faced such a problem in many years of windows xp
[01:37] <richardcavell> Brent_Roth: try #linux
[01:37] <arleslie> deeko, It could depend on the frame rate or some other variable like that.
[01:37] <Brent_Roth> richardcavell: thanks
[01:37] <unop> Brent_Roth, have you got the linux-headers package installed?
[01:37] <pw-toxic> unop, man i dont want to close my 18 pokerstars poker tables ;(( but i want to listen to my music ;K) ill try vlc player :D
[01:38] <Dekko> arleslie: Thank you for the answer but it doesn't seem logical since they are all in a series - and should be the same encoding... bitrate etc.
[01:38] <rambo2_981> pw-toxic,but there is a syscall in linux; it's a core linux call
[01:38] <arleslie> Dekko, are they all completed files?
[01:38] <unop> pw-toxic, the problem seems to be rbox tho. you could file a bug if you wish to see it improve (as this isn't the first time i've seem someone with this issue)
[01:38] <jiffe99> the original repo I was trying from was http://packages.dotdeb.org
[01:38] <Dekko> arleslie: that they should be.
[01:38] <BioShock^> Hey, join in channel #r00tsecure ! PLEASE !!
[01:38] <jiffe99> it looks like mysql51 is there
[01:38] <BioShock^> Hey, join in channel #r00tsecure ! PLEASE !
[01:38] <jiffe99> not sure why I was getting 404s
[01:39] <netsurf3> does anyone have problems with gnome-panel frequently screwing up the applets layout? ie throws them from one end of the panel to another
[01:39] <sebsebseb> !ops |  BioShock^
[01:39] <arleslie> Dekko, then your right that isn't logical, you might want to scan for a virus in them unless you know for sure they are safe.
[01:39] <pw-toxic> unop, anyway.. great help  thanks!
[01:39] <sebsebseb> BioShock^: what kind of channal?   and  the ops won't like it if you channal advertise here
[01:39] <Dekko> arleslie: Virus? In Linux? :-P
[01:39] <pw-toxic> unop, i now listen with vlc media player ;K)))
[01:40] <unop> pw-toxic, :)
[01:40] <netsurf3> ops are slow...
[01:40] <arleslie> Dekko, there are viruses in linux, it doesn't matter what operating system it is, there are viruses for it and it can be hacked
[01:40] <BioShock^> Hey, join in channel #r00tsecure ! PLEASE !
[01:40] <sebsebseb> netsurf3: not sure where they are right now
[01:40] <netsurf3> someone fancy swinging the kline hammer on him?
[01:40] <Dekko> arleslie: Yeah I hear ya, but how many? 10? Its not like running Windows anyway :-)
[01:40] <jiffe99> hmm, it worked this time
[01:41] <sebsebseb> netsurf3: the channel promoter left
[01:41] <andrew__> bioshock:  how?
[01:41]  * gastaufdemast sais N8 all...
[01:41] <netsurf3> still he got away with it didnt he?
[01:41] <sebsebseb> netsurf3: seems so
[01:41] <arleslie> Dekko, there's more then that, hackers are now switching over to linux since its becoming bigger.
[01:41] <boogiewookie> FFS
[01:41] <boogiewookie> grub gods inhere
[01:41] <boogiewookie> hatefull bootloader!!!!
[01:41] <unop> Brent_Roth, http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=syscall.h&sbtn=Search suggests that there are quite a few header files (syscall.h) - not sure which one corresponds to your freebsd source file tho.
[01:41] <sebsebseb> !language |  boogiewookie
[01:41] <sebsebseb> !details |  boogiewookie
[01:41] <arleslie> Dekko, but other then that I don't see why anything would be
[01:42] <Brent_Roth> unop: yeah, finding syscall.h was np ... but it's useless to me ... I need the .c file
[01:42] <pw-toxic> unop, after all.. windows will never be a choice for me sincet he wont be any native multi desktop support ;)
[01:42] <netsurf3> hackers on linux you say?
[01:42] <Dekko> OK well thanks anyway
[01:42] <Keba> For whatever reason, my virtual box isn't refreshing right, in the setting for the box. When I move around the menu, the window doesn't make any changes, before I move the window around and thereby refreshing it. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate any help I could get =P
[01:42] <Twey> There *were* viruses for Linux.
[01:42] <pw-toxic> unop, im obsessed with ubuntu ;)   <3333333 gnome do
[01:42] <Twey> There are none currently in the wild: those few that there were were patched the day after.
[01:42] <netsurf3> out of curiousity what length passwords do you guys use for protecting those all important accounts?
[01:42] <arleslie> It wasn't *were* if it runs, it has a virus and can be hacked
[01:43] <tschaub> I'm having trouble unlocking a private key after upgrade to 9.04, is there a way to reset the password for a keyring (assuming my current one is not working)?
[01:43] <xcdfgkjhgcv> To configure ufw to set up Samba, should I limit access to udp ports 137 and 138 and tcp ports 139 and 445, allow them completely, or a mixture of both?
[01:43] <unop> tschaub, the gnome-keyring-manager should be able to sort it.
[01:43] <Twey> arleslie: But they don't run.
[01:43] <Twey> Not on an up-to-date system, at least.
[01:44] <arleslie> Twey, a virus can run on anything, including an up-to-date system
[01:44] <unop> xcdfgkjhgcv, the first option seems sensible.
[01:44] <Twey> ... er
[01:44] <tschaub> unop: is that the same as I'd find from Applications > Accessories > Passswords and Encryption Keys?
[01:44] <Twey> arleslie: Please define ‘virus’ for me.
[01:44] <lakotajames> hey, guys.
[01:44] <arleslie> tschaub, To do this look in the ~/.gnome2/keyrings directory, then delete the default.keyring file.
[01:44] <xcdfgkjhgcv> unop: What's the difference between "limit" and "allow"?
[01:44] <tschaub> I've deleted my "default" password
[01:44] <unop> tschaub, not really sure as i don't use gnome
[01:44] <tschaub> yeah, did
[01:44] <stam> Twey: rm -rf is a virus!
[01:45] <jnewt> is there an x specific channel?
[01:45] <tschaub> default.keyring is gone
[01:45] <Twey> stam: Oh, of course.  Silly me.  ;)
[01:45] <xcdfgkjhgcv> stam: No it's not.
[01:45] <stam> xcdfgkjhgcv: orly? :)
[01:45] <tschaub> unop: I still get prompted for a password with default.keyring gone
[01:45] <arleslie> Twey, Anything that can overwrite, make procesess, take over stuff
[01:45] <lakotajames> i'm ssh'd to my compy, and have a cli.  anything cool i can do in a cli?
[01:45] <sebsebseb> !virus |  Twey
[01:45] <arleslie> Twey, really intruly any operating system is a virus
[01:45] <R|ppeR> strugling hard to get the huawei e220 to work in my easypeasy version of ubuntu 8,10, anyone here have experience with this 3g modem ?
[01:46] <Twey> arleslie: *pat*
[01:46] <unop> xcdfgkjhgcv, i suppose they could mean the same thing depending .. basically, you want to allow access to/from those ports to the local subnets (limiting)
[01:46] <stam> arleslie: normal programs can overwrite, make processes, take over stuff
[01:46] <xcdfgkjhgcv> LOL it's so funny when people come here asking about AV software.
[01:46] <tschaub> didn't know if https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/187127 was related
[01:46] <xcdfgkjhgcv> unop: In ufw.
[01:46] <xcdfgkjhgcv> unop: Not generally.
[01:46] <unop> tschaub, do you have GDM/KDM log you in automatically ??
[01:46] <arleslie> stam, which means it "classifies" as a virus
[01:46] <stam> arleslie: cat is a virus then
[01:47] <tschaub> unop: no (I'm fairly certain)
[01:47] <unop> xcdfgkjhgcv, no idea sorry, my knowledge of UFW is nothing.
[01:47] <arleslie> stam, it doesn't write or take over
[01:47] <unop> tschaub, is the passphrase for the keyring the same as your login password?
[01:47] <stam> arleslie: cat > blah
[01:47] <tschaub> unop: no
[01:47] <stam> arleslie: cat > myfile.txt
[01:48] <arleslie> stam, but does it make a process? or take over?
[01:48] <oh_noes> hi there .. anyone installed VMware ESXi?  I was wanting to know if theres a GNU Linux package for the splash boot image they use
[01:48] <unop> tschaub, well, that's your 'inconvenience' (note, i didn't say problem) - it's by design
[01:48] <oh_noes> how it's yellow and shows a small progress bar
[01:48] <arleslie> stam, then yes it can be "classified" as a virus
[01:48] <tschaub> unop: I think I'm following - but I used to know both - after upgrade, I can't unlock a private key
[01:48] <stam> arleslie: bash is an absolute virus then
[01:49] <arleslie> stam, linux is also a virus and so is windows, considering they both have drivers so they "take over devices" and they make processes and can overwrite
[01:49] <unop> tschaub, you can always delete the keyfiles if you can't remember the passphrase (but you lose all key information, passwords stored, etc)
[01:49] <stam> arleslie: of course!
[01:49] <sultan_of_swing> i just installed kubuntu and now kde menu isnt activating on click
[01:49] <stam> arleslie: so what is a virus again? :D
[01:50] <unop> tschaub, i think someone pointed out what they were to you.
[01:50] <sebsebseb> !ot |   stam  arleslie
[01:50] <tschaub> unop: so deleting .gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring will not keep me from being able to log in again?
[01:51] <unop> tschaub, i don't see how this keeps you from logging on
[01:51] <dewman> good evening. what do you do when your system wont boot? I have a initramfs prompt....
[01:51] <mattano> i have just installed mythbuntu and i have no sound output i ran alsamixer and it finds C-Media CMI8738 the sliders move, and the mp3 plays but theres nothing coming out the speakers, anyone know what could be going on?

[01:52] <Bsims> How big of a pain in the rump is it to install a ppa via chroot?
[01:52] <nicklas_> hello

[01:52] <dewman> lstarnes: thats what I am using....It complained about revalidation failed on ata4

[01:53] <sebsebseb> lakotajames: test only browsers,  IRSSI   and IRC client
[01:53] <Bsims> I am debating a new motherboard and the combo deal requires 2.6.30
[01:53] <linuxguy2009> lakotajames: Whatever you can do in a terminal in a GUI environment. hehe
[01:53] <sebsebseb> lakotajames: text above
[01:53] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: not exactly
[01:53] <mattano> i have just installed mythbuntu and i have no sound output i ran alsamixer and it finds C-Media CMI8738 the sliders move, and the mp3 plays but theres nothing coming out the speakers, anyone know what could be going on?

[01:56] <sp4z> why are the ath5k drivers used over madwifi??
[01:56] <owen1> i want to install ubuntu on macbook pro 5.1. it has intel core 2 duo. i am thinking of the 64 bit install.  on ubuntu's download page it say: based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). is it what i need?
[01:56] <andrew__> ok...went to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu...ran: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update...got following error: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu...should I continue with installation attempt?

[02:05] <lstarnes> badboy_: is that a tag in a forum?
[02:05] <jimmy_birer> ls
[02:05] <lstarnes> scott__: untar it with tar xjf file.tar.bz2, then look inside it for a readme/install
[02:05] <jimmy_birer> grep | fag
[02:05] <jimmy_birer> :))
[02:05] <Brando753> how do i get ubuntu to recognize my modem?
[02:05] <Pricey> !compile | scott__
[02:05] <jimmy_birer> :))))))))))))))))))
[02:06] <stanley_> configure make make install
[02:06] <arleslie> !ask jimmy_birer
[02:06] <stanley_> guys i need partitioning help puhleeze
[02:06] <Brent_Roth> anyone know where the src for the "syscall" function is in Ubuntu?
[02:06] <arleslie> !ask | jimmy_birer
[02:06] <Brent_Roth> when i grep for syscall.c, this is all I get http://pastie.org/552787
[02:06] <nevyn> makeinstall ;)
[02:06] <felix_> stanley_, download gparted
[02:06] <stanley_> I have it... Just need help actually creating the partition
[02:06] <stanley_> I _really_ don't want to mangle anything
[02:07] <andrew__> can you read the error I pasted?
[02:07] <arand> andrew__: that error seems to say that either you have the wrong apt string for the repository, or that the server is currently down.
[02:07] <scott__> ok lets try this another way, how do i intall ULL? the only form i've found is in a tar.bz2, but all yer doing is throwing out code like i know what to do with it. plz dumb it up for me
[02:07] <felix_> stanley_, ok, run it as root, then select the device, and youll see what partitions do you have already
[02:07] <stanley_> I have 4 partitions right now, winxp, boot, swap, and linux, i have 64GB of unallocated space i want to use to create a NTFS partition to share between the two drives
[02:08] <pantsd> Hey guys, anyone know how to disbale (or raise really really high) the max open file handles?
[02:08] <pantsd> is causing problems
[02:08] <felix_> stanley_, you can resize a existing partition, or make one new if you have space available. be warned that partition must be unmounted. so if its your system partition, you may use a livecd
[02:08] <andrew__> I have a sneaking suspicion that ubuntu has removed all references to beryl files...could not open the "how to install" page last night...should I continue with installation attempt...or abandon?
[02:08] <arleslie> stanley_, you can do that by gParted
[02:08] <Pricey> andrew__: 'beryl files'?
[02:08] <stanley_> felix_:  yea i never knew gparted had a graphical interface, whoops!
[02:09] <lstarnes> andrew__: I thought compiz-fusion replaced beryl
[02:09] <stanley_> the space is unallocated through so i'm not resizeing any partitions
[02:09] <stanley_> it's sitting there unused and empty and not part of any partitions
[02:09] <felix_> stanley_, clic on the unallocated space bar, click on partition, new, and select the filesystem you desire
[02:09] <stanley_> WHen I go ot create a "new partition" in gparted though i can't becuase i already have 4 primary partitions
[02:09] <jnewt> does anyone really know how to fix an xorg.conf file?
[02:10] <Pricey> jnewt: depends on what is broken
[02:10] <arleslie> stanley_, do you have enough space for another partition?
[02:10] <ScottG> How do I configure my login manager?
[02:10] <andrew__> it did, but I had not known that until slart told me last night in here...now when I ran the apt-get instructions from ubuntu help for medibuntu...the script wanted to connect to beryl-project and couldn't
[02:10] <stanley_> arlesli: yes i have 64.26GB
[02:10] <felix_> stanley_, clic on the unallocated space bar, click on partition, new, and select the filesystem you desire
[02:10] <stanley_> felix_: I can't, i try to and it says...
[02:10] <Pricey> ScottG: system > administration > login window
[02:10] <jnewt> Pricey: X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attibutes) 8.  whatever that means.
[02:10] <felix_> stanley you see four bars and one grey. click on gray
[02:10] <felix_> oh
[02:11] <arleslie> stanley_, Do you have another unallocated space?
[02:11] <ScottG> Pricey: Whats the actual name of that program that launches?
[02:11] <andrew__> the same error message went on to say that the missing index files have been ignored or old ones were used...at this point do I continue with the installation, or abort?
[02:11] <stanley_> felis_: It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions. If you want more partitions you should firrst create an extended partition such a partition can contain other partitions. becuase an extended partitions is also a primary partition it might be necessary to remove a primary partition first
[02:11] <felix_> hmmm i didn't know how many partitions a drive may have
[02:11] <jnewt> Pricey: even a list of what generates the different errors would be fine for me, i don't mind reading and learning abouthis, i just can't find any info.
[02:11] <chugdiesel> hey guys can anyone help me out with a sound issue?
[02:11] <Brent_Roth> where is the equivalent of the "syscall"  function in "/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/trap.c" in FreeBSD, on Ubuntu?
[02:12] <Pricey> ScottG: To find that out, you can right click on the menu, and click "edit menus", then navigate through that to find the application, and what it calls
[02:12] <stanley_> arleslie:  yea it shows that i have another unallocated space of 4.15MB
[02:12] <ScottG> Pricey: Well I don't have it which is why I was wondering what the name was
[02:12] <stanley_> and then the main one that i was trying to use is 64.26GB
[02:12] <ctmjr> !compiz | andrew__:
[02:12] <chugdiesel> my sound card appears to have crapped out on me
[02:12] <chugdiesel> and i cant figure out why or how to fix it
[02:12] <arand> andrew__: if you look at http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ you can see that there is no "dists" subfolder there, so I'd say your apt string is incorrect. Btw isn't beryl lost and gone as of compiz fusion?
[02:12] <Pricey> jnewt: I don't have an xorg.conf
[02:13] <arleslie> stanley_, then you can't use at as windows requires 4mb either before or at the end of a harddrive
[02:13] <chugdiesel> i'm on ubuntu 9.04
[02:13] <Pricey> ScottG: gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup
[02:13] <chugdiesel> with no sound anymore
[02:13] <unop> Brent_Roth, /usr/src/include/linux/lockd/syscall.h  ??
[02:13] <arleslie> !soud | chugdiesel
[02:13] <Pricey> !sound | chugdiesel
[02:13] <stanley_> arleslie: Well what can I do with the 64.26GB of unallocated space??
[02:13] <sp4z> has anybody here got kismet running on ubuntu?
[02:13] <unop> Brent_Roth,  find /usr -iname "*syscall.h"
[02:14] <ScottG> Pricey: Thank you :)
[02:14] <chugdiesel> !sound
[02:14] <jnewt> Pricey: oh, you replied like you might be able to help, i just assumed....
[02:14] <felix_> stanley_, resice a existing partition
[02:14] <felix_> resize
[02:14] <Pricey> jnewt: is there a reason that you have an xorg.conf?
[02:14] <arleslie> stanley_, do you 64 of free space or unallocated space?
[02:15] <jnewt> Pricey: i assume so, although i did not put it there.
[02:15] <Brent_Roth> unop: I'm looking for the source file, not the header file
[02:15] <Pricey> jnewt: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:15] <unop> Brent_Roth, the syscall function is most likely defined in a header file (by my reckoning)
[02:16] <jnewt> Pricey: 9.04
[02:16] <Pricey> jnewt: back it up somewhere (remove it) and restart X
[02:16] <jnewt> Pricey: already did that.
[02:16] <jnewt> same error.
[02:16] <BlinkyToon> arleslie, he said  "64.26GB of unallocated space"
[02:16] <jnewt> it happens when i start a video, or mythtv or anything that shows video
[02:16] <utimothy>  good day to the room .......i am using a hp pavilion the one with the remote control can i get the remote to work with ubuntu
[02:17] <andrew__> yes it is, but the instructions I was told to use, found here: arrgh!  page won't load now!
[02:17] <arleslie> stanley_, then you should be able to make a new partition as there is no limit on how many partitions you can have
[02:17] <Brent_Roth> unop, it isn't ... i've already checked the header files
[02:17] <chugdiesel> !sound | chugdiesel
[02:17] <Brent_Roth> unop: i need the actual code that's inside the syscall function
[02:17] <patrin> can anyone tellme a good widget i can use for weather and forecasts for ubuntu 9.04. weather report that comes with ubuntu doesnt do forecasts
[02:18] <nicklas_> why is modules/drivers fixed automatically in ubuntu and not in gentoo and such?
[02:18] <stanley_> arleslie: http://pastebin.com/m3daaeef1
[02:18] <arand> andrew__: The "best before"-date may have passed on those instructions ;)
[02:18] <Pricey> jnewt: so you're sure you have no (or a blank) xorg.conf? If you still get the error, unless you can provide more logs I'm stumped.
[02:18] <nicklas_> why is modules/drivers fixed automatically in ubuntu and not in gentoo and such? after kernel update i mean?
[02:18] <stanley_> felix: http://pastebin.com/m3daaeef1
[02:18] <centinul> Anybody got the VT6656 USB WiFi card working in Jaunty?
[02:18] <stanley_> Thats what my whole HD looks like according to gparted
[02:19] <andrew__> arand:  thanks...I needed a laugh...LOL
[02:19] <stanley_> So as you can see i have 64GB of unallocated space that i want to make a partition with
[02:19] <gogeta> nicklas_: advantage of apt-get
[02:19] <jbrew> how do I share files between 2 ubuntu computers on a network?
[02:19] <stanley_> jbrew: samba ?
[02:19] <gogeta> nicklas_: i beleve emerge upgrade has the same effect
[02:19] <stanley_> jbrew: dropbox is a super easy solution
[02:20] <Pricey> jbrew: right click a folder, then choose "sharing options", its pretty self explanatory (stanley_)
[02:20] <SnakePlisken> patrin: www.yr.no ?
[02:20] <SnakePlisken> www.stormtracker.net
[02:20] <SnakePlisken> etc
[02:20] <arleslie> stanley_, I don't see any reason why gParted won't let you make a new partition, what the error
[02:21] <andrew__> why would apt-get install medibuntu...bla, blah, blah try to connect to beryl-project?
[02:21] <jdu> jbrew, scp and rsync work well (both are command line)
[02:21] <gogeta> arleslie: maybe hes byond his bios limit
[02:21] <illumin8> Am i in the appropriate place to as questions reguarding ubuntu 9.04 server edition?
[02:21] <jbrew> ok.  new to linux.  clicking "share" tells me i "need to install windows networks sharing service" is that true?
[02:21] <andrew__> !ask
[02:21] <gogeta> arleslie: maybe making it logical
[02:21] <jdu> jbrew, ignore what I said
[02:21] <stanley_> arlesli: It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions.  f you want more partitions you should first create an extended partition. Such a partition can contain other partitions. Because an extended partition is also a primary partition it might be necessary to remove a primary partition first.
[02:22] <SnakePlisken> jbrew: gadmin-rsync is way powerful yedi ;)
[02:22] <jnewt> Pricey: not blank, only three sections, all with only "Configured whatever" as the identifyer, except screen section which has the same for monitor and device
[02:22] <unop> Brent_Roth, I would start here and work my way outwards - http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&sa=N&q=syscall()++lang:c&ct=rr&cs_r=lang:c   also   find /usr -iname "*.[ch]" -exec grep -ni " syscall(" {} +
[02:22] <jnewt> i would be happy to provide logs to anyone who would be willing to help.
[02:22] <gogeta> stanley_: or make it logical like i said
[02:22] <patrin> can anyone tellme a good panel widget i can use for weather and forecasts for ubuntu 9.04. weather report that comes with ubuntu doesnt do forecasts
[02:22] <illumin8> Alright, I have ubuntu 9.04 server edition and currently have a domain setup with a registrar. Im having trouble finding information on how to get that registrar to point to my (behind a router) server.
[02:23] <stanley_> gogeta: how do I do that, it doens't give me the option, as soon as i click "new" it gives me that error
[02:23] <arleslie> stanley_, are you dual-booting with windows?
[02:23] <SnakePlisken> greetings gogeta
[02:23] <stanley_> arleslie: yes
[02:23] <unop> Brent_Roth, what relation does this syscall() have to do with perl? I seem to remember you mention something about perl
[02:23] <arleslie> then you can't make extended partitions with out causing windows to fail
[02:23] <Brent_Roth> unop: nothing to do with perl ... when i used that first link you gave me, the only info it ever gave me was about a perl package
[02:23] <Pricey> jnewt: pastebinning the xorg.log would be a good start
[02:24] <scott_ino2> patrin, the forecasts only work for certain locations
[02:24] <scott_ino2> but they do work
[02:24] <ctmjr> jnewt: what graphics card do you have and did you install the drivers for it?
[02:24] <unop> Brent_Roth, ahh right, nvm then
[02:24] <gogeta> arleslie: windows can do extendid
[02:24] <Brent_Roth> unop: I just need the source code for the actual function ... not its header ... just like the "syscall" function that is in the nice clean "/usr/src/sys/i386/386/trap.c" in freeBSD
[02:24] <arleslie> gogeta, last time I did extended windows grub wouldn't boot windows
[02:24] <mobeatie> can someone help me with getting mobil broadband working in ubuntustudio?
[02:24] <Brent_Roth> rather than scrounging through /usr/src/some long linux name/././.
[02:24] <stanley_> There has to be a way for me to do something with space
[02:25] <arleslie> gogeta, stanley_ maybe you can help because I can't think of anything else
[02:25] <uvacav> android
[02:25] <gogeta> arleslie: well you gotta upgrade grub too  cope with the change
[02:25] <patrin> scott_ino2 so should i try and get a different location set for my area
[02:25] <andrew__> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu <--I went here earlier, and typed the EXACT instructions and got the error message I pasted here:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/223153/
[02:26] <scott_ino2> patrin, for me i live in fairfax, VA which has no forecast data available, but if i select washington DC it works... close enough...
[02:26] <scott_ino2> not sure how to get additional data
[02:26] <gogeta> arleslie: well  he might have to get rid of 1 to make a extendid
[02:26] <scott_ino2> but im sure you can
[02:26] <arleslie> gogeta, help stanley_ as you seem to have a better knowledge of this
[02:26] <gogeta> arleslie: doing it to swap  should be safe being he can put it back
[02:26] <unop> Brent_Roth, perhaps the folk in #c #c++ #linux-dev etc might be able to give you a hand
[02:26] <patrin> scott_ino2 i live in lee NH so the closent was rochester, but i clicked onto portsmouth and i have it, can i change the graphical display to show it to me
[02:27] <stanley_> gogeta: well what needs to be primaryt and what doesn't
[02:27] <badboy_> hey my friend are u where
[02:27] <andrew__> for me, when it comes to partitions, i usually find whatever I can easily do within the installer is best practice...just a thought
[02:27] <badboy_> ?
[02:27] <gogeta> stanley_: you need to make a extendid partation
[02:27] <arleslie> gogeta, here's his hd layout: http://pastebin.com/m3daaeef1
[02:27] <badboy_> my sound work now
[02:27] <stanley_> arleslie: thanks for posting htat
[02:28] <scott_ino2> patrin, after you change it righ-click/update
[02:28] <scott_ino2> and it should update it
[02:28] <badboy_> ty for your help
[02:28] <badboy_> ;)
[02:28] <scott_ino2> patrin, you can also add the radar map :-)
[02:29] <ctmjr> andrew__: you need to install the gpg key for medibuntu and remove the the beryl line from /apt/source list
[02:29] <patrin> scott_ino2 i did that but its still showing me the current condition, how do i get the radar map
[02:29] <mac9416> Hello, how can I submit my art for the Karmic default wallpaper?
[02:29] <stanley_> I just don't see h this isn't a regular occuring problem for dual bootersw
[02:29] <scott_ino2> patrin, right-click on applet, check box for show radar map
[02:30] <gogeta> stanley_: we normany dont do more then 2 oses
[02:30] <patrin> scott_ino2 sweet
[02:30] <gogeta> stanley_: ok take out swap then make a extended partation
[02:30] <stanley_> gogeta: I'm not doing more than 2, i'm doing 1 for XPpro, 1 for linux, and one partitoin for storage
[02:30] <patrin> scott_ino2 i still cant get the icon to change for forecasts
[02:30] <scott_ino2> patrin also i found this
[02:30] <scott_ino2> patrin, For the applet, go to weather.com and type in your city. Select it from the list and you should be directed to a page with the address like http://www.weather.com/weather/local/ABCD1234 Copy that code ABCD1234 and paste it into the area bar of the weather applet, and you should have weather from your town.
[02:30] <gogeta> stanley_: lemmie look up how to on gparted
[02:31] <andrew__> ctmjr:  was trying to install the gpg key when I got the error...so I should use pico to edit etc/apt/source.list.d/jaunty.list? (I will refer to the instructions to know the actual folder/file hierarchy so as not to make a mistake)
[02:31] <Pici> mac9416: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic would be a good place to start.  If you have further Karmic stuff, #ubuntu+1 is the place.
[02:31] <scott_ino2> patrin, not quite sure why it's not updating for you.... try selecting a different city not near you then switching back to the one you want
[02:31] <mac9416> Pici, OK, thanks. Just edit the page?>
[02:31] <Anarieth> im thinking of using the wubi installer to install ubuntu and i have some questions. 1. what is the difference between the different installation sizes? 2. is it 32bit or 64bit ubuntu that gets installed?
[02:32] <stanley_> gogeta: thx
[02:32] <gogeta> stanley_: gotta run buut make a extended put swap back
[02:32] <stanley_> :(
[02:32] <gogeta> stanley_: then point your old distro to the new swap
[02:32] <mac9416> Pici, I see, there's a submit button.
[02:33] <Brent_Roth> unop: no one in linux-dev ... just 3 afkers ... if I could possibly find the gate handler that traps the syscall and hands it to the syscall function, that would be helpful
[02:33] <arleslie> Anarieth, 1. just the amount of space it takes and the amount you can us in ubuntu, 2. its 32bit
[02:33] <ctmjr> andrew__: just comment out the beryl line or lines how did you get the repo for beryl in there?
[02:33] <jnewt> ctmjr: ati radeon x1300.  installed the driver from amd website, x failed, #ati said to unistall, the x worked.
[02:33] <Anarieth> arleslie: is there any way to get it to install 64bit?
[02:34] <arleslie> Anarieth, not that I know of
[02:34] <Anarieth> damn
[02:34] <gogeta> stanley_: it says just slect extended as partation type to make one
[02:34] <andrew__> no idea...just followed those instructions and that's what happened...you know what...last night when I was trying for the hundredth time to get beryl installed, i ran accross some instructions that told me to edit sources.list to include the beryl line...yeah...that's what happened
[02:35] <andrew__> ok...pico it is
[02:35] <stanley_> gogeta: yea but i don't have the option
[02:35] <arleslie> Anarieth, you can see if it supports 64bit
[02:36] <stanley_> gogeta: I'll just keep looking around, I don't feel comfortable following your advice incase something goes wrong
[02:36] <stanley_> gogeta: and you're not around
[02:36] <mac9416> Pici, how do I upload my images to the Wiki? Do I have to use my own hosting?
[02:36] <ctmjr> jnewt: look in the menu on your panel under administration and see if you have a menu item for hardware drivers if so try that
[02:37] <Anarieth> arleslie: i googled it abit and found that it installs the right os for the right architecture ^^
[02:37] <patrin> scott_ino2 i changed the town and went back, i have the text forecast when i go into the preferances but no graphical forecast on the panel
[02:38] <andrew__> error saving changes to sources/list: permission denied...what now?
[02:38] <ctmjr> andrew__: use sudo
[02:38] <scott_ino2> patrin, you mean like the little icon?
[02:39] <andrew__> how to use sudo within pico?
[02:39] <patrin> scott_ino2 yes
[02:39] <scott_ino2> even if you keep re-updating?
[02:40] <Pici> mac9416: Check the attachments button on the top of the page.
[02:40] <jdu> andrew__, you need to restart it.  first save to a dir you have permission to  to save your work then copy it over with sudo
[02:40] <scott_ino2> patrin, very odd, you could try removing and adding it again
[02:40] <ctmjr> andrew__: sudo pico filename
[02:40] <jdu> andrew__, ie if you had done :   sudo nano   it would have worked
[02:40] <andrew__> so, command string looks a little like this: sudo pico etc...
[02:40] <jdu> andrew__, correct
[02:40] <urthmover> for some reason I can not hear any more sound.  It was working till the last reboot.  I am not sure what I need to do to rollback.  cat /proc/asound/cards

[02:41] <urthmover> suggestion on where to start for fixing this?
[02:41] <gogeta> guide in how to
[02:41] <gogeta> and do extendid
[02:41] <jdu> urthmover, restart pulseaudio, or reboot again
[02:41] <patrin> scott_ino2 still nothing
[02:41] <jnewt> ctmjr: the error from mythtv: http://pastebin.com/d7e6bc0ff
[02:42] <urthmover> jdu: restart pulsaudio  'sudo /etc/init.d/pulsaudio restart' ?
[02:42] <scott_ino2> patrin, when you switch to another city does it work?
[02:42] <jdu> urthmover, that should do it.
[02:42] <scott_ino2> or is this with everything?
[02:42] <patrin> nope
[02:42] <jnewt> xorg.0.log: http:/
[02:42] <andrew__> success!...thANK YOU GUYS!
[02:42] <urthmover> ok
[02:42] <jdu> urthmover, of course there might be some other problem
[02:42] <patrin> scott_ino2 nope, just give me the current weather icon
[02:42] <urthmover> jdu: trying that now
[02:43] <jdu> urthmover, oh put an e after the s
[02:43] <jdu> in pulse
[02:43] <urthmover> jdu: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions
[02:43] <urthmover> jdu: testing new settings
[02:43] <scott_ino2> patrin, so it shows the current weather icon and temperature?
[02:43] <ctmjr> jnewt: you get that error when trying to play a movie in myth?
[02:44] <jnewt> ctmjr: http://pastebin.com/m52b64f4a
[02:44] <patrin> scott_ino2 yes
[02:44] <scott_ino2> patrin, ohhhhh
[02:44] <jnewt> ctmjr: that is the xorg.log file.
[02:44] <scott_ino2> yeah it doesn't do that
[02:44] <urthmover> jdu: that fiked it...thanks
[02:44] <jdu> urthmover, :)
[02:44] <urthmover> jdu: I'm going to reboot and see if it sticks after a restart
[02:44] <scott_ino2> patrin, you need something different for that
[02:45] <jnewt> ctmjr: the error was when trying to setup, i haven't gotten to the point where i can view a movie or anything yet.
[02:45] <jnewt> ctmjr: i ran MythTV Setup Terminal
[02:45] <scott_ino2> patrin, like a gnome desklet
[02:45] <patrin> scott_ino2 yes, do you have any recommendations
[02:46] <scott_ino2> patrin, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Good+Weather+Mod-Small+(gDesklets)?content=72344
[02:46] <n1lqj> Need help have broken gcc++ compiler.  the package is installed but the libraries are not working.  was debian bug but I guess 8.10 never got the fix
[02:46] <nw-b> how can I create say n blank files with sequential name (0 to n) using a script?
[02:46] <scott_ino2> but you'll first have to enable gdesklets
[02:46] <scott_ino2> patrin, just google how to do that.. but that isn't on the panel, I'm sure there's a weather applet for the panel that allows you to do what you describe if you didnt wanna use desklets
[02:47] <dis> hey all, my soundcard is my USB soundcard, not the regular soundcard. What's the setup for my USB soundcard? No sound coming from my headphones.
[02:48] <arrrghhh> hey all, if grub removes the entry for windows, what's the best way to get it back?  i tried editing the menu.lst (over the phone) by hand, and the settings i put in were not correct...
[02:48] <ctmjr> jnewt: mythtv is hard too set up you might be better of asking in #mythbuntu i set up mine but am no expert with it and your using the open source radeon driver correct?
[02:48] <patrin> scott_ino2 i wank a panel app thats a graphical icon that displays the current weather and also forecasts
[02:48] <Void> he
[02:48] <arrrghhh> dis, i wouldn't know off hand i would google the device and the word "ubuntu" - see what comes up.  chances are someone's used that same piece of hardware with ubuntu...
[02:49] <jnewt> ctmjr: yes, open source driver is what i think i am trying to use, however, i cannot find how to verify.
[02:49] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, grub is not supposed to remove the entry for Windows.... How did it get removed?
[02:49] <dis> arrrghhh: alright, thanks.
[02:49] <thiebaude> salut
[02:50] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, honestly it was my mistake - my dad wanted it to default to windows, so i had him move the entry above ubuntu - but within that "automagic" section, and i guess when release upgrades are performed, grub is replaced, etc those entries get removed... plus he did several upgrades so his backup menu.lst was no good.
[02:50] <scott_ino2> patrin, k let me take a look
[02:50] <patrin> scott_ino2 im looking too, but no lock so far
[02:50] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, i found that out today after doing some reading :S
[02:51] <ctmjr> jnewt: it is in your log you can run this or look in xorg.conf   egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log     with quotes
[02:52] <ctmjr> jnewt: that is for your reference the log you pasted has it in it
[02:53] <jnewt> so, i see Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[02:53] <jnewt>  and i assume there is somewhere that identifies this as what you refer to as the "open source driver"
[02:54] <scott_ino2> patrin, yeah there's no real complete list of gnome applets
[02:54] <scott_ino2> patrin, maybe you could try the gnome-irc
[02:54] <patrin> scott_ino2 im starting to nitice that
[02:54] <scott_ino2> patrin, I refuse to believe this hasn't been done
[02:55] <mrmcgibby> hi, my ubuntu box won't boot.  It starts the process, but then just turns off after getting partway through the process.  The logs lead me to believe it's going into hibernate.  Anyone willing to take a look?
[02:55] <patrin> scott_ino2 same here, cause someone in my position had to make one
[02:55] <dreamy> ubuntu can have a beta version of wine, or another app, and the sistem stablity wont be endangered?
[02:55] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, ok... that explains it... what did you try? tell me the lines you got over the phone...
[02:56] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, well i didn't get to try much.  i'll pastebin what i put in.  the problem is the partitioning, and that remap line... anyways, gimmie a min.
[02:56] <ctmjr> jnewt: radeon, radeonhd, ati, and vesa are open source ati drivers fglrx is proprietary
[02:56] <kolpur> i'm unable to play videos with mplayer ( with xv ) .... i'm using 9.04
[02:56] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, i was thinking it would be easier to reinstall grub and have it sort out what is best...?  would that work?
[02:56] <Tatsu> Im trying to get my USB adapter for wireless to work with linux.  Im using a Dynex Wireless G USB adapter, and I am completely lost x.x
[02:56] <kolpur> ubuntu 9.04
[02:57] <Kalmi> dreamy, as long as you don't install things from source, you are safe... use deb files and ppa repositories
[02:57] <mrmcgibby> kolpur: what's the problem?
[02:57] <rww> Kalmi: PPA repositories aren't necessarily safe at all =/
[02:57] <Paddy_NI> kolpur: Do you have hardware acceleration enabled with your graphics card.. i.e. have you got the drivers installed
[02:58] <dreamy> Kalmi: then if its a deb package its ok .. in this case was a rep for "wine" needed a key
[02:58] <Paddy_NI> kolpur: which graphics card?
[02:58] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, no... reinstalling grub won't recreate your config files
[02:58] <Zappo> Does anyone know how to install Aleph One? >http://source.bungie.org/
[02:58] <scott_ino2> patrin, like i said talk to the gnome-irc guys im sure they have a better idea ;- )
[02:58] <Paddy_NI> Zappo: ask in the offtopic channel
[02:58] <scott_ino2> or use a screenlet/desklet
[02:58] <Zappo> fine
[02:58] <scott_ino2> for now
[02:58] <dis> hey all, my error is "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback."
[02:58] <patrin> scott_ino2 all right, thank you
[02:59] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, damnit jim.  how do i know what to put in?  i'll pastebin what i tried...
[02:59] <kolpur> Do you have hardware acceleration enabled with your graphics card. .. How do we check it ?
[02:59] <scott_ino2> patrin, sorry i couldn't be of more help
[02:59] <Paddy_NI> kolpur: what graphics card are you using?
[02:59] <CHANNEL5> quiero entrar a otra sala disculpen
[02:59] <patrin> scott_ino2 its all right, at least you tried
[02:59] <kolpur> INTEL d865gsa .. no special graphics card
[02:59] <Paddy_NI> !intel | kolpur
[03:00] <bp0> hello, im trying to make my 1000mb net card run at 100mb
[03:00] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, http://pastebin.com/d123dcae8 - thanks fer lookin.
[03:00] <bp0> but when i use ethtool to set it to 100, it gets set back to 1000 by something else
[03:00] <arrrghhh> bp0, if it's set to autoneg, it should uh... autoneg.
[03:00] <kolpur> but i dint have any problems in previous versions of ubuntu
[03:00] <Kalmi> dreamy, the wine repository is ok... it won't mess up your system..
[03:01] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, do you have multiple HDDs?
[03:01] <dreamy> Kalmi: may i ask, whats safe about being a dev
[03:01] <dreamy> dev=deb package
[03:01] <bp0> arrrghhh: yes i turned autoneg off, but that also comes back on by itself
[03:02] <pfm> is there any participant of the MOTU group in here?
[03:02] <Kalmi> dreamy, worst case scenario: it will mess up wine, BUT it won't mess up yur whole system
[03:02] <dreamy> ok Kalmi
[03:03] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, it's my dad's machine... and i don't believe he has multiple hdds.  fdisk -l should give me what i need to know.  i think i get the line for root hd etc but the map lines... i don't get those.  i recall using those last time i set this up too.
[03:03] <Kalmi> pfm, try #ubuntu-motu
[03:03] <pfm> Thanks a lot Kalmi
[03:03] <coz_> guys cna I delte files via live cd from onboard hard drive if so how?
[03:03] <arrrghhh> just sux cuz he's tryin to get away from windows so he doesn't have to deal with problems... blargh and i create a problem for him in linux, making it look difficult to use :(
[03:04] <arrrghhh> coz_, gotta mount it... try sudo fdisk -l to see what disks are available.
[03:04] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, "map" is for multiple HDDs...
[03:04] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, ah... crap.  i need to read on how this works.  and figure out how it's setup on his machine.
[03:04] <coz_> arrrghhh,  got  that far  but need to change permissions to delete files from onboard hyard drive
[03:04] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, root (hd1,0) <-- hd1 means second HDD and 0 means first partition
[03:04] <coz_> hard drive
[03:05] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, it should probably be root (hd0,0)
[03:05] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, and no map lines
[03:05] <mrmcgibby> some logs at: http://pastebin.com/d56c0d605
[03:05] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, how do the hd 0,1,2 relate to the hdds in fdisk?
[03:06] <Kalmi> hd0 = master; hd1 = slave
[03:06] <Mike_lifeguard> Is there any tool to do the opposite of wget? ie uploading instead of downloading?
[03:06] <Pici> Mike_lifeguard: curl can both upload and download
[03:07] <Kalmi> !info curl
[03:07]  * Mike_lifeguard investigates curl...
[03:07] <Cryptorchild> !info sum
[03:07] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, ok... so it doesn't relate to fdisk, crap.  is there a command to figure out which is which?  i remember just trying stuff when i was physically at the machine when this was setup...
[03:07] <jethro85> can someone take a look at this screenshot and tell me what i can do to fix this? http://i26.tinypic.com/23u5vo5.jpg
[03:08] <edbian> jethro85: Unfortuately it doesn't say what theme engine is required.  Just that there is one missing.  A lot of the theme engines are in the repos
[03:09] <jethro85> edbian should i ask the creator of the theme which engine is missing?
[03:09] <edbian> jethro85: Did you get this theme from gnome look .org?
[03:09] <padd1> hey guys
[03:10] <jethro85> deviantart but i think it is available at gnome-look
[03:10] <padd1> i have a program made for windows but, in C++, completely
[03:10] <padd1> how can I convert it to linux?
[03:10] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, you said that the machine doesn't have multiple hdds... this is all you need than: http://pastebin.com/m28337e4d (replace "PARTITION WINDOWS IS ON-1" with the appropriate number)
[03:10] <Kalmi> padd1, easiest way: you don't... instead you use wine...
[03:11] <padd1> no
[03:11] <padd1> It like requires certain things and stuff
[03:11] <rfulk> quick install question....
[03:11] <padd1> I'm not just compiling it personally
[03:11] <padd1> I'm compiling it for a communit
[03:11] <padd1> y
[03:11] <jethro85> edbian : http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiftie+Black?content=77642
[03:11] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, he may have multiple hdds.  i know i can figure out which hdd windows is actually installed on, now how can i relate that info to grub?
[03:12] <Kalmi> padd1, ok... than you need someone more knowledgeable than me :)
[03:12] <padd1> ok
[03:12] <padd1> thanks anyway
[03:12] <padd1> Anyone here good at coding?
[03:13] <rfulk> I have 8.04 ubuntu on dvd but want to install 9.04... I have the server install on a USB flash drive but apparently my mboard doesnt support usb flash booting. Can I boot the 8.04 dvd but install 9.04 from the usb drive?
[03:14] <ctmjr> padd1: you might ask in the ##c++ channel or ##linux-cders
[03:14] <padd1> yeah
[03:14] <padd1> I'm talking to them now
[03:14] <padd1> thanks
[03:14] <ctmjr> *coders
[03:14] <edbian> jethro85: Unfortunately the site doesn't say what them engine you need either.  I even looked at the original "shiftie" theme.  There aren't that many theme engines (maybe 5 of them total) You could just install them all or install them one at a time trial and error style.  Do you know how to do that?
[03:15] <jethro85> edbian : with synaptic package manager?
[03:16] <edbian> jethro85: Those are the repos! :)
[03:16] <Im_Toast> Is there any way to use a live cd to overwrite the critical system files to repair a broken install of Unbuntu 9.04?
[03:16] <rfulk> ok ill ask this a different way.. Can I boot into the live disk with 8.04 but install 9.04 from a flash disk that I can otherwise boot from?
[03:17] <jethro85> edbian where can i find the theme engines? and do i have to uninstall one before i install the next?
[03:17] <Guest91771> Hey
[03:17] <click_here> hulu.com does not work for me
[03:17] <mikebot> I am having a problem using ImageWriter to make a bootable USB drive with UNR if anyone thinks that they can help me with this.
[03:18] <Im_Toast> click_here: Have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[03:18] <arrrghhh> click_here, do you have media repo's & ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[03:18] <edbian> jethro85: just search "engine" and look at the descriptions.  One of them is called "Murrine" to get you started.  If you want to find out which one is required for the theme you downloaded then yes install them one at a time (uninstalling the previous one each time you add a new one so there's only ever 1 installed at a time)
[03:18] <Kalmi> arrrghhh, sda2=hd(0,2) sdb0=hd(1,0) See: /boot/grub/device.map
[03:18] <Guest91771> I'm having problems with my screen. it is extremely blurry and has waves going up and down the screen. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do?

[03:18] <click_here> Im_Toast, arrrghhh, no, I don't think so

[03:18] <arrrghhh> Kalmi, excellent, thank you!
[03:18] <Im_Toast> click_here: In a terminal type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:18] <rfulk> ok, can someone help me here? I know its a simple questio.. Cant find the answer though?
[03:18] <jethro85> edbian thank you
[03:19] <click_here> Im_Toast, cool, gonna try that now
[03:19] <sebsebseb> !details |  rfulk
[03:19] <Im_Toast> Is there any way to use a live cd to overwrite the critical system files to repair a broken install of Unbuntu 9.04?

[03:19] <rfulk> I hve downloaded 9.04 but cant seem to write a dvd tht works.
[03:20] <mikebot> click_here: DO you think that I should abandon that tutorial and try the one you linked to?
[03:20] <sebsebseb> rfulk: which program did you try and burn it with?
[03:20] <rfulk> I have loaded 9.04 onto a flash drive but my computer wont boot from usb drive
[03:20] <ctmjr> !burn | rfulk

[03:20] <Guest91771> I am running 9.04 and It is extremely burry on my screen, with waves going up and down. My computer is a P-6860fx if that helps anyone. Anyone have any suggestions?
[03:20] <sebsebseb> rfulk: you have to tell the BIOS to boot from USB
[03:20] <rfulk> under xp used nero
[03:21] <rfulk> bios does not support booting from usb fash
[03:21] <mikebot> click_here: And I tried the IMageWriter software from both that tutorial page and an (apparently) upgraded version from the Package Manager
[03:21] <sebsebseb> rfulk: well boot from a CD or DVD then?
[03:21] <Im_Toast> rfulk: Then wouldn
[03:21] <click_here> mikebot, what did you say you are trying to put on the USB?
[03:21] <rfulk> Tryingto figureout how to boot from the dvd I have (8.04) and install from the flash drive
[03:21] <Kalmi> rfulk, couldn't you just install 8.10 and upgrade?
[03:21] <Im_Toast> rfulk: Then wouldn't that be the reason you can't boot from your usb stick?
[03:21] <andrew__> ok...help please:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/223198/
[03:22] <sebsebseb> rfulk: can you install 8.04?

[03:22] <rfulk> I can but I am trying to install with raid 1 and lvm
[03:22] <trakcyia> Problem: Firefox reloads pages that were open when firefox was last closed. I have looked through firefox preferences and found nothing to disable this "feature". Does anyone know how to remedy this problem?
[03:22] <andrew__> hey...gogeta...glad you're here...check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/223198/
[03:22] <Im_Toast> mikebot: What's different between desktop and the new netbook distros?

[03:23] <rfulk> < using 9.04 UNR right now..
[03:23] <rfulk> yes
[03:23] <click_here> mikebot, i'm pretty sure that you can use the software I linked to.  it takes like 2 seconds with that program
[03:23] <click_here> very nice program
[03:23] <SealV> I need help getting amarok 2.1 to see my daap share
[03:23] <mikebot> Im_Toast: I'm not entirely sure...the desktop looks different. I pourchased a netbook today and so that version seemed to be the one that would be the best.)
[03:23] <gogeta> andrew__: add the apt repo
[03:23] <mikebot> click_here: OK, I'll try that, thank you.
[03:23] <andrew__> gogeta:  do the whatty what?
[03:24] <gogeta> andrew__: maybe its ust down atm
[03:24] <gogeta> just
[03:24] <Guest91771> I am running 9.04 and It is extremely blurry on my screen, with waves going up and down. My computer is a P-6860fx if that helps anyone. Anyone have any suggestions?
[03:24] <Im_Toast> And does anyone have any ideas why I can't tell ubuntu to import my files from WinXP home on this reinstall? rofl

[03:24] <SealV> I need help getting amarok 2.1 to see my daap share\
[03:24] <mrmcgibby> what would I need to do to determine if my machine is shutting down because of something telling it to hibernate?
[03:24] <andrew__> gogeta:  ok...I'll try again later
[03:25] <gogeta> andrew__: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/w32codecs.html
[03:25] <mikebot> click_here: I can't open that file.

[03:25] <Scunizi> andrew__: not sure what the -c with wget means but have you tried it without it?
[03:25] <andrew__> gogeta:  do I wget that, or download with firefox?
[03:26] <Guest91771> I am running 9.04 and It is extremely burry on my screen, with waves going up and down. My computer is a P-6860fx if that helps anyone. Anyone have any suggestions?
[03:26] <andrew__> scunizi:  nope..just followed the instructions
[03:26] <SealV> what kind of monitor? <Guest91771>
[03:26] <gogeta> andrew__: it look like they changed the layout and didnt update the guide
[03:26] <Guest91771> Laptop monitor
[03:26] <Scunizi> andrew__: cd ~Desktop or cd ~/Desktop then wget http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu4_i386.deb
[03:26] <click_here> mikebot, hmm..  i used this program on a windows machine to then create the USB boot drive for the ubuntu OS.  so i'll have to look at it real quick
[03:26] <gogeta> andrew__: just download it w ff
[03:26] <Guest91771> built in screen
[03:27] <SealV> hmm is the resolution correct?
[03:27] <Guest91771> yea
[03:27] <andrew__> gogeta:  ok, so I wget that file using the url you posted instead of the one in the instructions?
[03:27] <mikebot> click_here: OK. Also, the image I have for UNR is a .img, not a .iso
[03:27] <SealV> refresh rate?
[03:27] <andrew__> ok..firefox it is
[03:27] <rfulk> opps I closed the window by accident. Sorry... SoI might have missed the answer.. Easy solution?
[03:27] <Guest91771> its at 60 hz which i believe is correct
[03:27] <Celroc> Hi all
[03:28] <mrmcgibby> Guest91771: did it work in windows / other OS?
[03:28] <SealV> hmm. that leads us graphics driver
[03:28] <gogeta> andrew__: heh you can downlaod it with firefox
[03:28] <Guest91771> im on the live cd right now
[03:28] <SealV> what is your graphics card by chance?
[03:29] <Guest91771> because last time i installed this, I could not get it to work at all, so I gave up, and would like to make sure I can get it to work before I wipe windows off
[03:29] <gogeta> andrew__: wget http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu4_i386.deb
[03:29] <Guest91771> 8800m gts
[03:29] <gogeta> if you whant to do it that way
[03:29] <SealV> nvidia/ati will have closed source drivers , so you cant really turn them on in live cd
[03:29] <SealV> let me google that card
[03:29] <Guest91771> alright, thanks
[03:30] <urthmover> How do I reduce the gnome bottom panel to the smallest minimum size so that when it autohides it completely disappears?
[03:31] <mrmcgibby> hi, my ubuntu box won't boot.  It starts the process, but then just turns off after getting partway through the process.  The logs lead me to believe it's going into hibernate.
[03:31] <click_here> mikebot, have you tried the ubuntu installation tutorial?  hmm.. i just figured if you had XP running you could have it done in no time.  not sure how much time it'll take you this way
 that card should work just fine with the restricted drivers.
[03:31] <jdu> urthmover, I have a feeling that the option can be accessed using gconf-editor
[03:31] <mikebot> click_here: Yeah, I have the ImageWriter program, but for some reason it isn't installing on my flash drive.
[03:31] <SealV> http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nvidia-glx-180
[03:32] <click_here> mikebot, i unfortunately  do not have experience with that program
[03:32] <SealV>  <Guest91771>see link :  <Guest91771>
[03:32] <mikebot> click_here: OK, that's alright. Thanks for trying to help.
[03:32] <urthmover> jdu: yes I know its in there but I can't find it ..... I have it the way I want on one system but not on this new one.  I have gone through every bott_panel setting one by one and still can't seem to figure it out
[03:32] <Guest91771> yea, so you think that should fix it then
[03:32] <SealV> agh  see link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nvidia-glx-180
[03:33] <urthmover> jdu: its 1 pizel high on the "working" one
[03:33] <andrew__> will it unpack to the correct location, or should I put it somewhere specific first?
[03:33] <urthmover> pixel
[03:33] <Guest91771> Do you see this problem often?
[03:33] <SealV> yeah but I dont think you can try it on the live cd
[03:33] <SealV> yes
[03:33] <jdu> urthmover, different version of gnome?
[03:33] <click_here> Im_Toast, I installed the restricted things but no luck on hulu.com yet.
[03:33] <SealV> I have an nvida card as well, and on the live cd the screen is shifted by 30 pixels
[03:33] <mikebot> Can someone help me ImageWriter? When trying to install UNR on a flash drive IMagewriter gives me the following and ceases to work: http://pastebin.com/m1cadc041
[03:33] <Guest91771> Fair enough. Thanks alot for the help, hopefully it works
[03:34] <urthmover> jdu: 32bit (old laptop) 64bit (new laptop)
[03:34] <SealV> best of luck. dont forget to backup
[03:34] <Guest91771> Will do
[03:34] <urthmover> jdu: how do I check the exact version of gnome from the CLI?
[03:34] <Im_Toast> click_here: Hmm... Have you tried Youtube?
[03:34] <click_here> yeah, youtube works fine
[03:34] <click_here> Im_Toast, yeah youtube works
[03:35] <Im_Toast> click_here: odd.... Your running 9.04 or 8.04?
[03:35] <click_here> Im_Toast, 9.04
[03:35] <Pici> urthmover: lsb_release -a
[03:35] <urthmover> Pici: thanks doing that now
[03:35] <aspoor> Whats up....
[03:35] <SealV> Need help getting amarok 2.1 to see DAAP share
[03:36] <urthmover> Pici: that only seems to show OS info  not GDM info
[03:36] <jdu> urthmover, gnome-about &
[03:36] <jethro85> is there a command to install just the pixmap gtk+ engine
[03:36] <urthmover> jdu: thanks trying that now
[03:36] <jdu> urthmover, only works if X is running though
[03:36] <sebsebseb> !hi  |  aspoor
[03:36] <SealV> its called the pixbuf engine now
[03:36] <elementz> hi all
[03:36] <click_here> Im_Toast, well youtube works, but not very well, btw i have an intel video chipset (eee pc 904ha)
[03:37] <elementz> dunno if my previous post came through: how can i tell which version of an app will be installed from the repos? eg via aptitude?
[03:37] <urthmover> jdu: same GDM version 2.26.1 on both machines
[03:37] <Im_Toast> click_here: Are you using compiz?
[03:37] <Celroc> Yeah, hi aspoor!
[03:37] <click_here> Im_Toast, not sure what that is... so probably no?
[03:37] <Celroc> Hey guys, do any of you know of a parental controls program similar to the one that Mac OS X has?
[03:37] <SealV> er any fancy effects? click _here?
[03:38] <jdu> urthmover, then unless resolution matters (and they are different) I'm sure you should be able to find the setting.
[03:38] <urthmover> jdu no worries thanks for the help I'll keep digging in gconf-editor till I find it
[03:38] <MrPockets> is it safe to touch -r /mnt/devSOMETHING
[03:38] <urthmover> jdu thanks again
[03:38] <MrPockets> ?
[03:39] <jdu> urthmover, np  good luck

[03:41] <Celroc> Hi rey
[03:41] <gogeta> andrew__: for encrypted dvds you need another package
[03:41] <elementz> Joelito: sry, i was wondering how to tell which version of an app is provided via the repos.
[03:41] <rey> anyone run into problem where there is a 2.5 inch black border around the screen? My desktop is shrinnnnking

[03:42] <ctmjr> urthmover: you auto hide your panel and still see a little bit of it is that what your trying to fix?

[03:42] <elementz> Joelito: havent't used synptic for a long time. maybe i should check again
[03:42] <rey> driving me nuts
[03:42] <owen1> i insert the ubuntu 64bit into macbookpro and hit 'c' key (to boot from cd). i see grey screen, frozen.  any hints?
[03:42] <rey> one inch border along the bottom
[03:43] <SealV> did it just start?
[03:43] <mikebot> Can someone help me ImageWriter? When trying to install UNR on a flash drive ImageWriter gives me the following and ceases to work: http://pastebin.com/m1cadc041
[03:43] <elementz> n
[03:43] <rey> reinstalled windows, running ubuntu in WUBI
[03:43] <urthmover> ctmjr: yes I want to see as little as possible  and at some point I think I did it down to 1 pixel somewhere in gconf-editor
[03:43] <triplc> SealV: system >> network connection does not see "eth1", it only see "eth0" which is the normal wired connection
[03:43] <rey> still same problem
[03:43] <sebsebseb> rey: Wubi can go bad
[03:43] <sebsebseb> rey: Wubi tends to = bad
[03:43] <rey> seb....yah
[03:43] <rey> could be
[03:43] <sebsebseb> rey: better to do a partition install :)
[03:43] <triplc> I try to "on / off" the wireless but it does not detect it
[03:43] <andrew__> gogeta: synaptic says I already have it installed
[03:43] <rey> yup I think your right
[03:43] <SealV> rey before that try the livecd
[03:44] <rey> uhhhhh....the cd went bad...i use an external
[03:44] <sebsebseb> SealV:  the Live CD can't just  use his wubi install
[03:44] <rey> I think y'all are right
[03:44] <sebsebseb> !install |  rey
[03:45] <rey> ubo: can i boot off of a usb stickdrive?
[03:45] <SealV> <sebsebseb: it should tell him if the problem is with wubi
[03:45] <rey> it won't recognize my external cd drive
[03:45] <SealV> should be fine
[03:45] <rey> Ok
[03:46] <rey> ubo, will follow the links
[03:46] <sebsebseb> !bot | rey
[03:46] <rey> Seb and Seal thanks for input
[03:46] <primal> does ubuntu come with SELinux?
[03:46] <chugdiesel> anyone have any clue as to why my sound just crapped out on me earlier? i think it may have something to do with alsa and all that but the troubleshooting sites n stuff haven't helped at all
[03:46] <SealV> np best of luck
[03:46] <rey> o slap me down and call me shorty
[03:46] <sebsebseb> !dualboot |  rey
[03:46] <rey> ubo is a bot?
[03:46] <SealV> lol
[03:46] <rey> ha!
[03:46] <sebsebseb> rey: and even better get rid of Windows :)   well maybe dual boot for some apps, if your 3D Windows gaming well keep it on dual boot for now I guess
[03:47] <rey> ok
 what wireless card do you have?
[03:47] <ctmjr> urthmover: ok gconf-editor /apps / panel/ toplevel /top_panel_sreen0 for top panel set it to auto hide and uncheck animations then set auto hide size to what you like mine is -5
[03:47] <sebsebseb> rey: with enough RAM for most other stuff you can run Ubuntu inside Windows,  anyway  get yourself sorted out with a partitioned install :)
[03:47] <rey> seb, exactly there are some win programs i cannot do w/out for work...but dual boot will have to be the way.
[03:47] <urthmover> ctmjr: thanks trying that now
[03:47] <sebsebseb> rey: which ones?
[03:47] <urthmover> ctmjr: I guess there will be something similar for bottom_panel as well
[03:48] <rey> some graphic programs like Sierra
[03:48] <rey> print artist
[03:48] <sebsebseb> rey: oh stuff you may be able to virtual machine,  depending on RAM
[03:48] <sebsebseb> rey: how much you got?
[03:48] <rey> ram 2gig plus 8 on a stick
[03:48] <ctmjr> urthmover: yes you can also change the hide unhide time
[03:48] <SealV> you would need a ton of ram... you have enough
[03:48] <rey> ram not too much of a problem
[03:49] <trelayne> hi all, Jaunty question: anyone seeing X freeze a few times a day during compiz effects? E.g. cube rotate, etc?
[03:49] <jdu> trelayne, I didn't
[03:49] <SealV> rey if you like ubuntu you might consider running windows in a Vm like virtual box
[03:49] <Baba_b00ie> trelayne, runs fine for me
[03:49] <rey> ok, well that'll be my home work. If i change the drive letter on my external do you think bootup will see it and boot the ubuntu disk?
[03:49] <colloguy> In Jaunty, I can't suspend, and if I turn on pm_trace, I get a different hash match every reboot, or no hash match at all. Any hints? : (
[03:49] <sebsebseb> rey: yep that's enough for Windows virtual machines.  Virtualbox :)  http://www.virtualbox.org   and then when you got your install you can get the version for linux hosts from their site which has USB support.  and then when doing vm  doing a dynamically expanding hard disk is best.    anyway you need to get an install on there that works properly, first
[03:49] <rey> seal: yes tried it once...too slow
[03:50] <Celroc> rey: PArdon me, but I wonder if something like WINE or Crossover could help you with Window programs on Linux?
[03:50] <jdu> trelayne, look up your graphics card; there may be better settings than the defaults for it
[03:50] <chugdiesel> hey anyone here good with sound issues? i'm not talking basic troubleshooting stuff either
[03:50] <trelayne> thanks for the feed back. I'm afraid it looks like my Quadro FX 770m has a issue with the nvidia drivers
[03:50] <chugdiesel> like, codec issues
[03:50] <colloguy> I'm running pm-suspend from the recovery console.
[03:50] <rey> Celroc: used wine...lets just say it has it's limitations
[03:50] <SealV> lol fair engouh, basically your external will boot if your BIOS will allow it.
[03:50] <brayden> Whats better Ubuntu 9.04 or Ubuntu 8.10 (and 32 or 64 bit) ??
[03:50] <Celroc> rey: Ah, yeah
[03:50] <rey> Ok Seal: will try it.
[03:50] <sebsebseb> rey: virtual machine :)
[03:50] <rey> yup seb
[03:51] <trelayne> jdu,  I've been through hell and high water trying to figure this one out the last few weeks... tried a crazy number of solutions with the annoying problem coming back to bite me
[03:51] <jdu> brayden, 9.04   probably 32bit unless you have >4gb ram
[03:51] <SealV> rey: in your BIOS settings there should be something like boot order
[03:51] <rey> One more question...ya Seal....
[03:51] <Im_Toast> brayden: you should either stick with 8.04 (the most recent LTS) or use the newest available
[03:51] <rey> boot order
[03:51] <rey> cd first etc.
[03:51] <sebsebseb> rey: external hard disk first
[03:51] <trelayne> I'm thinking it might be because I'm running 32-bit Jaunty on a dual core.... or something crazy like that
[03:51] <SealV> is there a flash drive option?
[03:52] <rey> right make it a D
[03:52] <rey> Seal I have thought of that and tried it
[03:52] <brian> ok im kinda new but if i wanted to install the firefox files i downloaded would it be  apt-install firefox3_5
[03:52] <sebsebseb> brian: nearly
[03:52] <rey> is there a configuration one has to do as I copied the disk onto the flash drive and did not boob
[03:52] <Im_Toast> trlayne: Why would that do anything? lol
[03:52] <rey> boot lol
[03:52] <rey> ha
[03:52] <sebsebseb> !ff35 |  brian
[03:52] <mikebot> Can someone help me ImageWriter? When trying to install UNR on a flash drive ImageWriter gives me the following and ceases to work: http://pastebin.com/m1cadc041
[03:52] <trelayne> Im_Toast,  that's what I was hoping you'd say...
[03:52] <SealV> rey, you are on wubi right?
[03:53] <sebsebseb> brian: also remmber the sudo
[03:53] <rey> now, yes
[03:53] <Im_Toast> trelayne: I'm running Jaunty 32 bit on a core i7 with no probs
[03:53] <SealV> see if there is this option:
[03:53] <rey> ok
[03:53] <trelayne> there seems to be indications that my problem might happend on system running 32-bit with 3GB>
[03:53] <sean5446> im trying to install ubuntu: 8.04 goes to busybox and 9.04 goes to black screen with blinking white cursor... any help?
[03:53] <brian> i had the shiretoko befor and some add ons didnt want to work cause they were looking for the firefox name
[03:53] <SealV> system >>administration>>usb startup disk creator?
[03:54] <sebsebseb> brian: quite a lot of add ons won't work with it yet
[03:54] <trelayne> Im_Toast, the prob seems to be with compiz + nvidia
[03:54] <rey> lemme see
[03:54] <rey> Seal: Looking
[03:54] <Im_Toast> trelayne: ATI has lots of probs too. worse than nvidea lol
[03:54] <jdu> trelayne, does it stop if you remove a gig of ram?
[03:54] <rey> Y I B , Seal there is
[03:54] <brian> but if use use the download file from firefox web site it would work
[03:54] <trelayne> jdu,  it's a laptop, but I don't want to mess with it since it's a company computer
[03:54] <SealV> use that to make the .iso file on your flash drive
[03:54] <SealV> bootable
[03:54] <sebsebseb> brian: depends,   probably not
[03:54] <andrew__> gogeta:  check this out:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/223207/
[03:54] <sebsebseb> brian: well maybe they will
[03:55] <demonist> hello, how can i change the default runlevel for init in ubuntu?
[03:55] <andrew__> gogeta:  bio break...brb
[03:55] <sebsebseb> brian: Firefox 3.5 is pretty new, so a lot of add ons won't be made for it yet
[03:55] <rey> Seal: Just like disk huh
[03:55] <brian> i have the download and it has all the files in it
[03:55] <SealV> yeah
[03:55] <demonist> what is the ubuntu inittab file?
[03:55] <rey> Great, ok one question:
[03:55] <brian> sebsebseb: ill keep trying
[03:56] <ctmjr> brian: you have to download the firefox tar file untar it compile it then make a launcher for it it is a royal pain
[03:56] <rey> i have been working w/this and have now collected three "ubuntu" mentions in the boot menu. The first two are emtpy,
[03:56] <jdu> trelayne, I understand that 32bit linux can be recompiled to work with up to 64gb ram but that may not help
[03:56] <rey> and am on the third
[03:56] <trelayne> I've even tried changing the mtrr values. For some reason lspci says I have 256MB of RAM on my video card when it's have 512MB (which all other tools say it has )
[03:56] <Brent_Roth> anyone know where the src code for the "syscall" function is?
[03:56] <rey> how to erase the first two?
[03:56] <demonist> oh /etc/event.d/rc-default
[03:56] <rey> is that grub?
[03:56] <rey> have read about that somewhat
[03:56] <sebsebseb> brian: ok good luck
[03:56] <SealV> umm  /boot/meu.lst delete (with care) the entries that are empty
[03:57] <brian> ctmjr: ya im done with everything exept the launcher   i clicked on the firefox file and it ran firefox 3.5 but their was no icon
[03:57] <SealV> * ?boot/menu.lst
[03:57] <trelayne> jdu,  at this point, I'm considering compiling a kernel... there are no useful log files telling me what is happening during the freezes
[03:57] <SealV> **/boot/menu.lst
[03:57] <mikebot> I think that the problem I am having with ImageWriter is that it says that my flash drive is mounted at /dev/sdb, yet when I plug it in it seems to be mounted at /media/disk... Anyone know how to fix that?
[03:57] <SealV> damn I hate this keyboard
[03:57] <rey> Seal in a terminal window?
[03:57] <brian> would it be the firefox_bin  file?
[03:57] <rey> ha...you must have one of those small ones
[03:58] <SealV> in a terminal  "gksu gedit /boot/menu.lst"
[03:58] <sean5446> hey im trying to install ubuntu and 8.04 gives me busybox, 9.04 goes to a black screen with blinking white cursor
[03:58] <rey> i have o have a separated ergonomic one
[03:58] <jdu> mikebot, /dev/sdb is a device and nothing will be mounted there
[03:58] <Interphase> why is it that when I mount this samba share with mount -t smbfs I have way fewer permissions than when I mount it with nautilus-connect-server?
[03:58] <owen1> i insert the ubuntu 64bit into macbookpro and hit 'c' key (to boot from cd). i see grey screen, frozen.  any hints?
[03:58] <trelayne> jdu,  and I haven't compiled once since like 1996 (can you imagine how much I hated always missing that moving target of a working kernel that recognized all of my hardware?) :-)
[03:58] <eggenz7> why is webmin not recommended for using in intrepid?
[03:58] <pawan> hi
[03:58] <pawan> any mp3 bitrate conversion utility

[03:58] <SealV> @@@@@
[03:59] <gogeta> andrew__: did you install both packages
[03:59] <eggenz7> losher, ok...is there a way to install ebox on intrepid without it failing every single time?
[03:59] <rey> lol
[03:59] <SealV> rey: in a terminal :
[03:59] <rey> no problem...im idling in terminal
[03:59] <trelayne> mikebot, if it gets mounted why do you want to mount it differently/
[03:59] <SealV> gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:00] <mikebot> trelayne: I'm trying to install a UNR image to it using ImageWriter to amke a bootable version on that drive
[04:00] <losher> eggenz7: sorry, no idea. Anyone?
[04:00] <ctmjr> brian: if i remember right the command to launch it is ./firefox  i have it on my debian box but it is busy so cannot check it now
[04:00] <brian> yay i got a working firefox 3.5     i was able to make the launcher by using the firefox bin file, but the icon is wrong
[04:00] <eggenz7> is there an alternative package that i havent heard of yet?
[04:00] <SealV> seperated ergos are awesome! I use one at work
[04:01] <trelayne> mikebot, ah so some advanced stuff what about /dev/sdb1 ?
[04:01] <brian> ill have to download the icon from the net
[04:01] <new2linx> how wouldI fix an avi that has an audio and video sync issue? the sound is behind the video i think?
[04:01] <nsahoo> why is it that I can't see half of my windows in the task bar half of the times
[04:01] <rey> yup cant live w'out em
[04:01] <rey> ok am in terminal
[04:01] <mikebot> trelayne: I can't open anything there either
[04:01] <SealV> nsahoo: is the taskbar set to show stuff from only that workspace?
[04:02] <trelayne> mikc,  well when you do: mount, what do you  see it mounted as ?
[04:02] <SealV> rey: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:02] <trelayne> mikebot,  well when you do: "mount", what do you  see it mounted as ?
[04:03] <mikebot> trelayne: Ah: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
[04:03] <colloguy> If I suspend successfully, should the capslock key still work?
[04:03] <sean5446> hey im trying to install ubuntu: 8.04 gives me busybox, 9.04 goes to a black screen with blinking white cursor... please help! intel processor, bios reset to factory defaults
[04:03] <dreamy> whats the way to enable double buffering on wine ?
[04:03] <trelayne> mikebot,  there you go
[04:03] <eggenz7> sean5446, sounds like its not able to find the boot drive...this is after you already installed from the cd right?
[04:04] <SealV> I think he is on livecd
[04:04] <dreamy> is it always on by default and dont need configuring ?
