[00:00] <rahduke> i see them in nautilus, i click and nothing happens
[00:00] <scient> how do i get the uuid of a partition ???
[00:00] <lwizardl> scient, yeah that one doesn't function with epson receipt printers from my experiences
[00:00] <scunizi> scient, sudo blkid
[00:00] <mindrape> rahduke - look in /media and see if they are mounted or /mnt
[00:00] <{alejandro}> halp! I have no sound on 8.10 and I live in a world of hate. alsa-info.sh here  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7c2a0f48f366b42dc3258e127e37c8a405262e99
[00:00] <RobertTables> owh, Could we have configured it that way?
[00:00] <porter1> What's the easiest way to manage networks using just command line? I haven't attempted to modify network settings on command line for fear of being brutally mudered.
[00:00] <mindrape> porter1 - man ifconfig     and for wireless          man iwconfig
[00:00] <rahduke> now i dont even see my other HD
[00:00] <mindrape> porter1 - to scan wireless ranger man iwlist
[00:00] <owh> RobertTables: Yup, uncomment ;   wins support = no, should also have worked.
[00:00] <mindrape> s/ranger/ranges
[00:01] <porter1> Ok, thanks mindrape
[00:01] <mcphail> ironfroggy_: what do you mean?
[00:01] <rahduke> mindrape: they dont show up in mnt or media
[00:01] <Bynw> no keyboard commands work at all .... may have to reboot it the hard way unless there is something i can do via an SSH login
[00:01] <scient> idk ldk my brother has one he built himself on filemaker/smb
[00:01] <scient> bynw usb or ps/2 keyboard?
[00:01] <ironfroggy_> mcphail: well, they are all explicitly #!/bin/sh
[00:01] <Bynw> usb
[00:01] <ironfroggy_> just wanna make sure
[00:02] <Bynw> usb mouse too but it works
[00:02] <mindrape> rahduke - well dmesg will show you all the system-level messages related to the hardware ie; if there was a failure or whatever may have occured.
[00:02] <Andreica> how to format my flash-disk?
[00:02] <KingBling> hi all :)
[00:02] <mindrape> rahduke - lspci will show you all connected devices such as USB drives.
[00:02] <mindrape> rahduke - lsmod will show you if a driver was loaded and assigned to those devices.
[00:02] <rahduke> mindrape. i cant make heads or tails of what im seeing
[00:02] <dasginganinja> Hi, I'm having  troubles getting  my ATI radeon x850xt to work after I enable the fglrx driver via the hardware drivers.  I have to go into rescue mode and run xfix then resume boot to get it back to normal.  Can somebody help me get 3d enabled on my Intrepid(8.10) install?  I desperately need to program for my opengl class and cannot until this is fixed.  Thanks in advance!
[00:02] <mercutio22> why can't I resize partitions in gparted?
[00:02] <scunizi> !format | Andreica
[00:02] <mcphail> ironfroggy_: that's the only thing you can guarantee to be present when they are run
[00:02] <mindrape> rahduke - copy it all and pastebin it somewhere.
[00:02] <mindrape> !pastebin
[00:02] <loveonfull> was someone chatting about POS? I too need info on retail linux, message me
[00:03] <Andreica> thanks :-)
[00:03] <Gnea> loveonfull: try http://freshmeat.net
[00:03] <tCzern> dasginganinja, I missed the dash, ... :-/
[00:03] <tCzern> so how do I start a program,
[00:03] <tCzern> I thought just entering it's name would do it
[00:03] <scunizi> tCzern, what program?
[00:03] <scient> bynw u try unplugging it and plugging it isn again??
[00:03] <tCzern> called ardour
[00:04] <mindrape> tCzern - depending on whether or not it is in your path you may have to put a ./ in front of it...  period slash...
[00:04] <mindrape> ie;        ./someprogram
[00:04] <malocite> evening! I have been an Ubuntu user now for about a year and a half and I have need to run windows for a bit. I know how to run it in virtualbox which isn't a problem, what I would like to do is run my existing linux install inside emulation somehow... does anyone know if this is possible,and if so where to point me?
[00:04] <tCzern> k, no run or anything before it?
[00:04] <mindrape> and if you dont have privileges you may have to run sudo
[00:04] <Bynw> hang on ..
 thank you
[00:04] <rahduke> mindrape: http://pastebin.com/m632cf96a
[00:04] <mindrape> sudo ./someprogram
[00:04] <mindrape> looking rahduke... hold
[00:04] <tCzern> k, will try, thanks
[00:04] <rahduke> ty
[00:04] <MasterShrek> anyone else using the restricted ati driver (fglrx) and have your refresh rate stuck at 30hz?
[00:05] <mcphail> ironfroggy_: for some time /bin/sh has been linked to dash rather than bash in ubuntu
[00:05] <MrClean> I just installed Ubuntu to my other computer. But the screen resolution is only 1024*768. Before I had 1280*1024 in Windows. I've installed the latest video drivers. I tried the "xrandr --addmode S-video 1280*1024" command, but it doesnt work. Anyone know what I could do?
[00:05] <Bynw> scient, that didnt do anything ...
[00:05] <rhavenw> hi, i have an sd card reader in my laptop, an i want to use dd to copy the contents exactly to another drive, i cant find the device though
[00:05] <Chameleon> Just saying Hi to everyone
[00:06] <tCzern> it cannot open a shared file it says
[00:06] <scunizi> rhavenw, try sudo fdisk -l to list all
[00:06] <Po-mas> hey, I'm having this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/156879 Somehow the solution offered involves running windows, but i no longer have that... Any ideas?
[00:06] <scient> bynw then just restart, but seems wierd
[00:06] <RobertTables> owh, sorry got called away, so If i edit the smb.conf, I wont need that entry on the windows side?
[00:06] <scient> Bynw: if u have mouse u should have keyboard
[00:06] <mindrape> rahduke - it appears your USB storage device is there and loaded fine... not sure why it's not showing up on your desktop.      Can you run               sudo fdisk -l          from a commandline?  It will tell you what is mounted.
[00:07] <aldren> oinc
[00:07] <scient> how could i changemy /home to encrypted?
[00:07] <rahduke> sure
[00:07] <owh> RobertTables: That should be the case, but testing will require a reboot for Windows because it tries to "help" you :(
[00:07] <Gnea> mindrape: don't you mean df -Th?
[00:07] <rhavenw> scunizi: ah, thanks i needed to be root, didnt realize
[00:07] <RobertTables> owh, :-)
[00:07] <l7> so what are the usual things to do after a fresh ubuntu install?
[00:07] <ssssssssss> Hi. Simple question: will ubuntu work well on a sony vaoi?
[00:07] <Bynw> scient, what log locations can i check to find out what happened
[00:07] <tCzern> I just compiled this program and installed it manually, would I need to reboot or restart the Xserver?
[00:08] <Gnea> ssssssssss: yes.
[00:08] <rhavenw> so if it comes up as /dev/mmcblk0p1
[00:08] <RobertTables> owh, So all i need to do is uncomment that part, i dont need to enter the ip of the windows machine etc?
[00:08] <scunizi> l7, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:08] <owh> l7: Uhm that's like asking, what do you do after opening the front door.
[00:08] <owh> RobertTables: That should be the case, yes.
[00:08] <ssssssssss> Gnea: So no lengthy and confusing stuff to get the fans and video card working?
[00:08] <Andreica> now, one my friend is coping a file from me, and this action is consuming all my resources, so when i try to enter on any site, it is loading very slow. Is any utility that allows me to limit traffic for each any network(internet) process?
[00:08] <Chameleon> Anyone know a fix for Pidgin error"Unable to add user | Unknown error (241)". Ive seen same issue in threads but cant find a solution.
[00:08] <rhavenw> can i just do dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/sdb?
[00:08] <RobertTables> owh, thanks I will try it..
[00:09] <RobertTables> owh, cheers for your help
[00:09] <Gnea> ssssssssss: depends on the model. is that a vaio laptop or desktop?
[00:09] <l7> scunizi: is that the same as running update manager from gnome?
[00:09] <Chameleon> happened when i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10
[00:09] <KingBling> will my wirless usb netgear antenna work ?
[00:09] <ssssssssss> Gnea: A laptop.
[00:09] <Gnea> !laptop | ssssssssss
[00:09] <scunizi> l7, the first command is yet.. the following two aren't neccessarily
[00:09] <Hoj0> have you checked the pidgin webites
[00:09] <mib_e6x6zw> whenever I start my computer in ubuntu, the computer will not look for the network and slowly after giving it two passwords and reinstalling wireless driver, it works
[00:09] <Gnea> ssssssssss: check those out - the 2nd URL should have your specific information there
[00:10] <ssssssssss> Gnea: Thank you very much! :)
[00:10] <Gnea> ssssssssss: if it's not exact, it should be really close to it
[00:10] <Chameleon> No i havent. Too be honest I havent put much effort in to finding a fix.
[00:10] <Out_Cold> so i thought this command would work to split my 11.3 GB file into 3 dvd sized files... what's wrong with this code?
[00:10] <Out_Cold> :~$ split -b 4500k bruce.tar.gz
[00:10] <mib_e6x6zw> any idea?
[00:10] <jaja921992> Can someone help me out and tell me if a website is malicious?
[00:10] <Hoj0> im sure if you check the pidgin site and search the error code you would probably find out what it means.
[00:11] <Bynw> scient, rebooting gave me everything back ... where do i find the logs that might help he discover why it crashed in the first place?
[00:11] <scunizi> jaja921992, are you looking to see if it will affect your windows friends?
[00:11] <Gnea> jaja921992: that's not what we do here. try #html or #security
[00:11] <owh> Out_Cold: Looks good to me. What's it doing.
[00:11] <jaja921992> I use linux
[00:11] <dasginganinja> Hi, how can i get 3d working on my ATI RADEON X850XT on 8.10 Intrepid?
[00:11] <scunizi> jaja921992, won't effect you.. you look at it.
[00:11] <jaja921992> ubuntu
[00:11] <Out_Cold> split: Output file suffixes exhausted
[00:11] <malocite> Does anyone know how I can run my existing ubuntu installation inside windows if I need to for a while?
[00:11] <ironfroggy_> Any reason start-stop-daemon, run by root, wouldn't be able to create a pid file?
[00:11] <Andreica> now, one my friend is coping a file from me, and this action is consuming all my resources, so when i try to enter on any site, it is loading very slow. Is any utility that allows me to limit traffic for any network(internet) process?
[00:12] <Gnea> !wubi | malocite
[00:12] <Out_Cold> owh,  i'm not sure why the suffixes are exhausted.. shouldn't there only be 3 files?
[00:12] <Hoj0> hey pidgin guy
[00:12] <Chameleon> hey
[00:12] <Hoj0> are you using MSN?
[00:12] <Chameleon> Im accessing MSN threw pidgin
[00:12] <scunizi> malocite, well.. vmware has a tool to take a windows install and turn it into a vm for linux.. not sure if they have the same thing for linux or now.. might be worth looking for.. you could also ask in #vmware
[00:12] <Out_Cold> oh wait... after looking at the files... i realized it's 4 500 000 not 4500
[00:13] <Chameleon> its somthing about an msn contact not being able to be addedin pidgin
[00:13] <Hoj0> yea what it is is that pidgin cant add the support services account that is attached to every MSN account
[00:13] <owh> Out_Cold: That'll do it :)
[00:13] <Hoj0> one sec
[00:13] <mib_e6x6zw> i have to reinstall my wireless drivers every time i restart and give it admin privileges every time to do so
[00:13] <malocite> Gnea: Yeah, but thats installing a new installation inside windows isn't it? I want to access my Ubuntu from within windows when I am in windows and the other 90% of the time just boot straight to ubuntu like it does now
[00:13] <Chameleon> Curious to why I didnt get the error in 8.04
[00:13] <Gnea> malocite: ah, try virtualbox or vmware then
[00:14] <Gnea> !vbox | malocite
[00:14] <malocite> Gnea: No, those require you do the same type of thing, you create a new installation and run it in a bubble...
[00:14] <mib_e6x6zw> in 8.10 i have to reinstall my windows wireless drivers with the ndiswrapper frontend every time i boot up
[00:14] <Gnea> malocite: pardon?
[00:14] <scunizi> malocite, for that kind of solution.. it's not recommended.. you're actually trying to access a hard partition as in RAW.. It can be done the otherway but it's not for the faint of heart.. lots of problems, issues etc.
[00:14] <dasginganinja> Hi, how can i get 3d working on my ATI RADEON X850XT on 8.10 Intrepid?
[00:14] <kuro> If i create a generic Power Point with OpenOffice, can i open it on Microsoft Office 2003 Power Point
[00:15] <Hoj0> chameleon check your PM
[00:15] <luddite> can anyone get hibernate to show a progress bar?
[00:15] <luddite> kuro - yes
[00:15] <malocite> scunizi: Thats the answer I was looking for, but not the one I wanted :) So its possible to run your existing one, but very difficult.
[00:16] <Gnea> malocite: perhaps you don't understand... the only way to run linux like that is in a virtualized environment. wubi installs it IN windows, but yeah, you have to exit it.  If you want to enable seamless file integration between the two, at the same time, then install it in a virtualized environment and setup samba.
[00:16] <scunizi> malocite, vmware can do what you want from linux accessing a seperate installation of windows, like I mentioned before.. for the other way it's something that you should ask in #vmware.
[00:16] <esben> Hi I have a problem whit my Acer TM 6464 WLMI, My wireless netcard dos not responde when im trying to enable the card with the switch on the front
[00:16] <gigatwo> Anyone have much experience with recordmydesktop?
[00:16] <malocite> scunizi: Hmm.... I will check with them, all I could see in vmware was creating new virtual desktops, but I'll see if anyone there thinks of anything
[00:16] <mib_e6x6zw> does anyone know how i can set up wireless so that when i turn the computer on, it works...or where I might find the answer
[00:17] <seuaniu> kuro: save it as a ppt and it'll open just fine
[00:17] <seuaniu> i do it all the time
[00:17] <gigatwo> MY audio capture is incredibly fast.
[00:17] <dasginganinja> Hi, in 8.10 how can I select which video driver my computer loads? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:17] <mindrape> dasginganinja:  lsmod
[00:17] <luddite> mib_e6x6zw: echo ndiswrapper | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[00:17] <gigatwo> mib_e6x6zw: take whatever command you used and input it into the sessions dialog.
[00:18] <MatBoy> are there people here that have a windows dualboot where windows is installed on the last partition ?
[00:18] <mib_e6x6zw> sessions dialog?
[00:18] <gigatwo> System>Preferences>sessions
[00:19] <mib_e6x6zw> what command did i use
[00:19] <mib_e6x6zw> you mean that one posted before
[00:19] <gigatwo> I have no idea
[00:19] <mib_e6x6zw> just before you
[00:19] <dasginganinja> mindrape: lsmod has fglrx loaded
[00:19] <mindrape> well there you go
[00:19] <darkbishop> matboy:that alwiz the case when you installing windows..cos u have to install linux on 1st partition for the grub.
[00:19] <luddite> mib_e6x6zw : Just do this at term : echo ndiswrapper | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[00:19] <dasginganinja> mindrape: How do I select which one i want to laod though
[00:19] <mattp_> hi guys, im having some trouble with vmware and ubuntu
[00:19] <gigatwo> Sorry, you used the terminal to get your wifi to work, right?
[00:19] <mattp_> i cant get the WAN to connect
[00:19] <mib_e6x6zw> ok and that in term will fix it all?
[00:19] <_Zeus_> !ask | mattp_
[00:19] <luddite> yes
[00:20] <mib_e6x6zw> well i used ndiswrapper
[00:20] <luddite> it will
[00:20] <luddite> do what i said
[00:20] <mattp_> its not a problem with running ubuntu from within xp, but the other way around
[00:20] <mattp_> im trying to run xp in a vmware from within ubuntu
[00:20] <mattp_> as i said though the WAN is not connecting .. im not sure whats wrong
[00:20] <mib_e6x6zw> thank you
[00:20] <luddite> np\
[00:20] <darkbishop> mattp: have u try virtualbox?
[00:20] <mindrape> dasginganinja: if you have a module you want to load then use modprobe drivername
[00:20] <ironfroggy_> Does anyone know if -c/-g also change the owner that creates the pidfile?
[00:20] <darkbishop> mattp:oh my bad
[00:20] <swamptin> Can I change my WM without having to do a reinstall? Could I download, say, xfce and put it somewhere in / to use it instead of gnome?
[00:20] <luddite> mib_e6x6zw : dont question me next time ;-)
[00:21] <mattp_> swamptin: yes
[00:21] <ironfroggy_> that is, for start-stop-daemon
[00:21] <gigatwo> I think I confused him. Sorry luddite.
[00:21] <dasginganinja> mindrape: How is it choosing fglrx though?  I don't see any mention of it in xorg.conf....so how do i select which one I want?
[00:21] <gigatwo> Anyone willing to help me get recordmydesktop to work?
[00:21] <ubuntu_> I am having a major issue whiel trying to install ubuntu 8.10  When I get to the part for preparing partitions none are coming up for me to slect.
[00:21] <swamptin> mattp_: savage cabbage. Cheers. I'll be back after some googling
[00:22] <Pomas> hey, I'm having this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/156879 Somehow the solution offered involves running windows, but i no longer have that... Any ideas?
[00:22] <mOrO^> Can anyone tell me how to get a QuickCam Chat working on Ibex?
[00:22] <mindrape> dasginganinja: boot time probably your runlevel is picking it up
[00:22] <esben> The rfkill switch on front of my laptop will not turn on my wireless netcard?
[00:23] <dasginganinja> mindrape: SO my question is where is it choosing fglrx from?  Is it defined in a file?
[00:23] <mindrape> dasginganinja: yes
[00:23] <Ubuntu_rulez> I have installed a new usplash theme but when computer is booting the usplash is very small. I want it to be bigger. Does anybody have an idea?? The installed theme is metal-theme.so
[00:23] <dasginganinja> mindrape: which file? /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??
[00:24] <mindrape> nope

[00:25] <Chrisie> dasginganinja: System->Admin>Hardware Drivers is where you would disable the use of the proprietary driver for ATI graphics drivers
[00:25] <mindrape> dasginganinja: look in /etc/init.d
[00:25] <mindrape> dasginganinja: do     cd /etc/init.d           then         grep "fglrx" *
[00:26] <luddite> gigatwo : hahah - i think you did dude.
[00:26] <mcphail> mOrO^: try running "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so amsn"

[00:26] <luddite> Ubuntu_rulez : usplash - can that do the hibernate progress bars?

[00:27] <Xacarit1> I am having a major issue whiel trying to install ubuntu 8.10  When I get to the part for preparing partitions (Step 4 of 7) none are coming up for me to select.
[00:27] <scunizi> vallhalla81, does it work elsewhere as in a different machine?  if not reformat it.  The partition table is probably bad.
[00:27] <neeto> Xacarit1: do you need to make a new partition?
[00:27] <dasginganinja> mindrape: nothing
[00:28] <dewente> how to get remote connection to my server using ssh !?
[00:28] <mOrO^> mcphail.... that generated a copy of aMSN
[00:28] <greetingmonkey> does anyone know how to mount an auxilary hard drive from the non-gui terminal?
[00:28] <Ubuntu_rulez> luddite: I don't understand your question. Sorry!  :(  I'm new newbie
[00:28] <vallhalla81> scunizi; it doesnt show up in gparted how can i reformat it?
[00:28] <dewente> how to get remote connection to my server using ssh !?
[00:28] <dasginganinja> mindrape: I see linux-restricted-modules-common
[00:28] <mcphail> mOrO^: what do you mean "generated a copy"?
[00:28] <Xacarit1> neeto I have the linux partition ready to be installed on.  But it's not seeing either partition on the hard drive.
[00:29] <mOrO^> mcphail: It started aMSN program
[00:29] <dasginganinja> mindrape: I see linux-restricted-modules-common when I look at the entries when i type ls
[00:29] <mcphail> mOrO^: with cam working?
[00:29] <rblst> Havsalt: one thing before i leave, if you choose VirtualBox, make sure you use the OSE version, if you want to use USB
[00:29] <Arthemax> Hi. I installed EVE Online to /usr/games, but now I can't write any files there.
[00:29] <mOrO^> mcphail: cant tell...yet. Ill have to wait for a partner to come on, I guess. Ill see later...
[00:30] <confuded> [Problem] I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (upgrade). In the new kernel update the WP-S1 usb modem (3skypephone) is supposed to be supported. How ever, ubuntu does not seem to recognize the phone/modem at all. Logs just shows a USB connected
[00:30] <luddite> ubuntu_rulez : with your usplash - when you do a hibernate - does it display a progress bar or is it just a blank screen with some text and a cursor?
[00:30] <Havsalt> rbls, ok, thank you very much. very helpful
[00:30] <neeto> Xacarit1: that's strange. Maybe you should try remaking the partition and trying all over again? Other than that it's probably hardware...
[00:30] <scunizi> vallhalla81, I had 2 harddrives like that and found they were bad.. if they don't show in gparted it might be bad
[00:30] <Arthemax> how can I either uninstall it or gain write access so I can use the installation?
[00:30] <espacious> how do i exit vi?
[00:31] <vallhalla81> scunizi: ok thanks looks like i will be buying a new one lol
[00:31] <scunizi> vallhalla81, fortunately they are cheep
[00:31] <Xacarit1> neeto I have, twice, in various ways.  I shouldn't have had to at all as I was installing over an exisiting linux partition.  But it's not seeing anything
[00:31] <esben> If I run rmmod -f iwl3945 and modprobe iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 my wireless netcard works but if I togled the switch on front of the laptop the netcard disables and I can't enablet with the switch

[00:31] <greetingmonkey>  does anyone know how to mount an auxilary hard drive from the non-gui terminal?
[00:32] <mcphail> espacious: <esc>:q!
[00:32] <espacious> thanks found
[00:32] <scunizi> greetingmonkey, sudo mount -a
[00:32] <seuaniu> !mount
[00:32] <confuded> lol
[00:32] <greetingmonkey> i tried that. it didnt seem to work
[00:32] <neeto> Xacarit1: It's probably a failed drive.
[00:33] <neeto> ALSA crashed on me, how can I restart it? I've tried /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but still no sound.
[00:33] <Xacarit1> neeto  The hard drive?
[00:33] <confuded> [Problem] I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (upgrade). In the new kernel update the WP-S1 usb modem (3skypephone) is supposed to be supported. How ever, ubuntu does not seem to recognize the phone/modem at all. Logs just shows a USB connected. Thank you.
[00:33] <seuaniu> greetingmonkey: sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
[00:33] <greetingmonkey> thx
[00:33] <dewente> Log in remotely with SSH (Linux) ?
[00:33] <seuaniu> then plug the drive in and pay attention to what device it gets - sdb or something to that effect
[00:33] <confuded> Does it spin?
[00:33] <dewente> Log in remotely with SSH (Linux) ?
[00:33] <confuded> or make weird sounds?
[00:34] <neeto> Xacarit1: yeah your harddrive is probably dead, if you're sure you formatted it, then there should be a partition on the drive, so since there is not, it's your hardware :/
[00:34] <darkbishop> !wvdail
[00:35] <darkbishop> !wvdial
[00:35] <confuded> !dwdial
[00:35] <confuded> !wdial
[00:35] <mistermeh> is there always supposed to be zombie process of firefox running?
[00:35] <confuded> !wvdial
[00:35] <Xacarit1> neeto The hard drive is working fine.  I might even be able to boot back into windows.  I was just rinstalling due to the OS having some issues, mostly caused by user admitedly.  And I needed to update the OS to be able to update other things.
[00:35] <confuded> heh
[00:35] <m0u5e> is there a way to initiate a color picker for gnome? like i want to know what color something is... is there a eye-drop utility that i can use?
[00:36] <confuded> m0u5e: there is
[00:36] <Xacarit1> neeto I can formate the hdd through the partition editor, just the installation program isn't finding the partitions
[00:36] <HESAN> my video acceleration is shot and i was wondering how i can get ubuntu to auto reinstall it?  youtube is really laggy 4 me :(

[00:37] <m0u5e> confuded: i don't mean like that, i mean is there a utility in which i can start and then click anywhere on my screen and it will tell me the color of that part of the screen :)
[00:37] <sena_> Hello. I'm upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid, through the graphical "Update Manager" utility. It's been stuck on "Searching for obsolete software" for hours. However, a process called "/tmp/tmp_XXXX/intrepid" seems to be working hard. I have a few log files (on /var/log/dist-upgrade) being written to actively. Should I continue to wait?
[00:37] <esben> !wlan
[00:37] <confuded> m0u5e: it does the job, there is one there
[00:38] <austin987> I'm having trouble installing VMware player. I followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player, but when running the installer, it exits silently with no terminal output
[00:38] <confuded> austin987: what are you running?
[00:38] <confuded> austin987: which release?
[00:38] <dac> I've got a MP3, Like to put a100 or so songs on it but don't have a clue...
[00:38] <austin987> hardy
[00:38] <confuded> austin987: I had problems installing it, since it did not find the correct kernel module
[00:39] <austin987> hmm
[00:39] <basher82> how long does it take to compile wine?
[00:39] <confuded> austin987: what do you get?
[00:39] <austin987> confuded, what do you mean?
[00:39] <austin987> basher82, depends on CPU
[00:39] <confuded> basher82: depends
[00:39] <panos> http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iykuaZEmPtw what u think?
[00:39] <esben> !rfkill
[00:39] <confuded> austin987: what installation error do you get when installing VMware?
[00:39] <confuded> !man
[00:39] <austin987> none, no gui pops up, and exits silently
[00:40] <sena_> !intrepid
[00:40] <dougb> when i print to a PDF file in ubuntu, it prints a blank document
[00:40] <subdolus_> ummmmmmmmm
[00:40] <austin987> confuded, austin@austin-desktop:~$ sudo bash VMware-Player-2.5.0-118166.i386.bundle
[00:40] <Xacarit1> NOTE if any one else should have this problem, tell them to make sure that no hard drive volumes have been mounted.  If they have unmount any partitions or hard drives.
[00:40] <austin987> exits silently
[00:40] <trickydick> does anyone know why I can not view pictures at myyearbook.com ? once I login I don't see my profile picture or anyone else's profile picture at all.
[00:40] <subdolus_> so i added the following line to my crontab: 0 0 * * *       /usr/bin/fuckin
[00:40] <confuded> dougb: does it happen with other pages?
[00:40] <subdolus_> and it didnt run /usr/bin/fuckin at midnight
[00:40] <basher82> confuded: I have an AMD X2 4600; I am talking like [will it take minutes, hours, or days]?
[00:41] <confuded> basher82: hours
[00:41] <neeto> Xacarit1: did you format them with a certain filesystem?
[00:41] <basher82> okay thanks
[00:41] <mario> IT
[00:41] <trickydick> does anyone know why I can not view pictures at myyearbook.com ? once I login I don't see my profile picture or anyone else's profile picture at all.

[00:41] <confuded> austin987: so what error does it give you in the terminal? (please dump all code to places such as pastebin.com)
[00:42] <ohubuntu> i made a br0 connection and added vmnet0 vbox0 type interfaces to it... all bridged to eth0...  can i tie my wlan0 in the same way?
[00:42] <austin987> confuded, there is none, it returns to the shell with a nonzero status
[00:42] <HESAN>  my video acceleration is shot and i was wondering how i can get ubuntu to auto reinstall it?  youtube is really laggy 4 me :(
[00:42] <HESAN>  my video acceleration is shot and i was wondering how i can get ubuntu to auto reinstall it?  youtube is really laggy 4 me :(
[00:43] <confuded> austin987: does VMware appear anywhere? Menus?
[00:43] <austin987> confuded, no
[00:43] <jtrops> trickydick, what browser are you using?  it might be that you have it set for text only in order to load pages faster.  Try a different browser and see if it still gives you the same problem.
[00:43] <confuded> austin987: are you a user or power user etc.. Please describe your level...
[00:44] <austin987> poweruser, also tried running as root
[00:44] <austin987> was using sudo or gksudo
[00:44] <Xacarit1> neeto it was an issue of my windows partition was mounted and I had to get it unmounted first.  See the note I left if you like
[00:44] <Xacarit1> Bye all
[00:44] <think_linux> does anyone have any knowledge on ettercap?
[00:44] <tyrant> is intrepid faster or slower than hardy on old computer or netbooks  (eeepc)
[00:44] <PeterBye> I have a question on unraring files - the man page says the "-x" option extracts the files from the rar archive, but each time I typing "unrar -x <filename>" it just lists all the options for unrar
[00:44] <confuded> austin987: same thing with root?
[00:44] <austin987> confuded, yes sir
[00:44] <trickydick> jtrops, at first it was a problem with Firefox, I've since switched to Opera and Opera was working a while but now it's doing the same thing as FF. I've not made any changes to my system at all.
[00:44] <PeterBye> !unrar
[00:44] <austin987> all methods fail the same
[00:44] <tom_> hello
[00:44] <confuded> austin987: hm... it might have created some binary package in the same directory... ls
[00:44] <tom_> can someone help me remove ubuntu
[00:45] <confuded> austin987: where did you get this shcell script anyway?
[00:45] <mindrape> tom_ just install an OS overtop of it.
[00:45] <mcphail> PeterBye: try "unrar x filename" (i.e. without the - )
[00:45] <austin987> -rwxr-xr-x  1 austin austin 99282834 2008-11-10 17:59 VMware-Player-2.5.0-118166.i386.bundle
[00:45] <tom_> wats that
[00:45] <tom_> ?
[00:45] <mindrape> tom_ ie; if you want Windows it will ask you which partitions to use... it will be able to see the Linux partition.
[00:45] <ohubuntu> is sh the same as bash
[00:45] <confuded> tom_: boot live cd> gparted  format the whole drive or whatever
[00:45] <PeterBye> mcphail, wow how embarassing
[00:45] <austin987> from VMware http://www.vmware.com/download/player/
[00:45] <tom_> i dont get it
[00:45] <austin987> md5sum matches
[00:45] <PeterBye> mcphail, I got it - thank you *embarassed*
[00:45] <mindrape> tom_ call GeekSquad and pay $100 then.
[00:45] <joebodo> PeterBye i believe its unrar e filename
[00:45] <Mr_donuts> j'arrive as a pieuté
[00:45] <tom_> noo
[00:45] <mcphail> PeterBye: not your fault. The developers are to blame
[00:46] <PeterBye> joebodo, no, it's as mcphail said
[00:46] <PeterBye> lol mcphail
[00:46] <tom_> do u know how i can download a windows xp cd
[00:46] <mindrape> thats piracy.
[00:46] <confuded> austin987: shell script you say? try running it like "./namehere" or "sudo ./namehere" or through nautilus, it might br a gui
[00:46] <confuded> be*
[00:46] <mindrape> tom_ perhaps you are confused?  This is #ubuntu, not #troll
[00:47] <austin987> confuded, tried that as well, still nothing
[00:47] <tom_> wats trol
[00:47] <tom_> sir
[00:47] <_ykram> lol
[00:47] <austin987> the wiki says use "gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-2.5.0-118166.i386.bundle"
[00:47] <confuded> austin987: thats the graphicall sudo
[00:47] <joebodo> PeterBye unrar e is for extacting to current dir
[00:47] <jtrops> trickydick, in the bottom right of the opera browser next to the scale window there should be a little icon that says "show images" when you mouse over it.  If that isn't there you need to turn it back on.  I think it is under view/images/
[00:47] <tom_> brb
[00:47] <austin987> but like I said, I've tried as gksudo/root/sudo/regular self with no change
[00:47] <confuded> con-man: is this bundle from their website?
[00:48] <con-man> ?
[00:48] <confuded> oooops
[00:48] <confuded> sorry
[00:48] <austin987> confuded, I assume you meant me
[00:48] <con-man> confuded: ?
[00:48] <austin987> and yes
[00:48] <confuded> austin987: yes
[00:48] <confuded> con-man: sorry, mistyped a name
[00:48] <austin987> no problem
[00:48] <confuded> austin987: hm... give me a sec...
[00:48] <austin987> sure

[00:49] <jtrops> My sony vaio laptop only boots one in five try's.  any ideas why it doesn't boot consistantly?  I have had arch linux on this machine without any problems, and I have had vector, again without problems.

[00:49] <_ykram> tom why do you want to uninstall
[00:50] <jtrops> I have xubuntu, and it is the most current.
[00:50] <moos3> my system is hanging up on booting nagios how can i bypass this?
[00:50] <ohubuntu> question on intrepid and back with 7.04.. it seems the RAM cache is used for programs and then never cleared when they close... is there a way to fix?
[00:50] <josh> no, i moved it back into the living room and the fans run faster too
[00:50] <darkbishop> tom: what umean u can add or remove.
[00:50] <tom_> because i cant run anything with ubuntu
[00:50] <confuded> austin987: try like this "sudo sh thenameofthefile.bundle"
[00:50] <ThomasGHenry3> holy vibrant community in here! heya, folks. anyone know if it's possible to go from wubi to a full install with my settings and files intact? or will I have to start over?
[00:50] <confuded> tom_: ho long have you used ubuntu for?
[00:50] <austin987> confuded, same, no output
[00:50] <scunizi> tom_, so you want to get rid of ubuntu and install windows?
[00:50] <darkbishop> jtrops:sory dont knowmuch about xubuntu
[00:51] <confuded> ThomasGHenry3: you can back up your home directory from ubuntu to another drive
[00:51] <tom_> mabe
[00:51] <tom_> 1 year
[00:51] <joebodo> !wubi
[00:51] <IdleOne> ThomasGHenry2: backup your /home ( wubi ) then do a fresh install of ubuntu and copy over the /home
[00:51] <confuded> tom_: you are just frustrated, calm down, get a tea and fix your problem :) why are you dumoing ubnut anyway?
[00:52] <ThomasGHenry3> confuded: that will be sufficient to avoid having to reinstall non-native programs? medibuntu, etc?
[00:52] <confuded> austin987: just a sec.. google...
[00:52] <thehijjt> I have a bit of a probem, passwd only returns passwd: password updated successfully and never prompts for a password at all
[00:52] <_ykram> tom what is it you cant run
[00:52] <joebodo> i read u can migrate wubi to a regular fileystem
[00:52] <tom_> im not
[00:52] <confuded> ThomasGHenry3: it will be sufficent to back up your program settings, wallpapers (maybe) etc..
[00:52] <thehijjt> I just upgraded from hardy to ibex
[00:52] <tom_> i just need to run all my exe
[00:52] <josh> anybody got any thoughts?

[00:53] <ThomasGHenry3> well it's better than nothing. thanks all
[00:53] <zsquareplusc> tom_ tried wine?
[00:53] <jtrops> I would be happy to have any suggestion about where to look for the answer.  I am not new to linux, but I haven't ever had this problem.  The boot hangs just after wireless is started, and it doesn't give an error, or show anything in the log.
[00:53] <confuded> ThomasGHenry3: try googling...
[00:53] <tom_> i doo
[00:53] <moos3> anyone got a idea on how to stop a service from starting

[00:53] <ohubuntu> jtrops are you using ndiswrapper for your wifi drivers
[00:53] <confuded> austin987: did you chmod it to +x?
[00:54] <josh> is there software that i can use to check why the fans are running?
[00:54] <moos3> if its hanging
[00:54] <jtrops> yes.  I have a realtek 8180 card, and the linux drivers are rpm's.
[00:54] <austin987> confuded, yes

[00:59] <ohubuntu> austin987  ...  on intrepid and vmware install went well as of yesterday
[00:59] <KingBling> this is my third time trying to get somthing on the screen
[00:59] <confuded> austin987: it's a good call, new VMwares like new kernels :P. I had problems with an old kernel and VMware... Sorry!
[00:59] <tCzern> I must be invisble ... HELLO?
[00:59] <confuded> tCzern: hi
[00:59] <austin987> confuded, good to know, appreciate all the help
[01:00] <KingBling> hi
[01:00]  * mindrape gets the sensation that somebody is saying HELLO in invisible text
[01:00] <tom_> yea
[01:00] <confuded> !hi Z tCzern
[01:00] <musikgoat> tCzern: whats up?
[01:00] <austin987> I wish it was as easy as a mistyped shell command :-p
[01:00] <confuded> !hi | tCzern
[01:00] <moos3> is there a way to setup a run level in grub?
[01:00] <tecnicodpc> Hello 2 All
[01:00] <tCzern> aah, hi
[01:00] <tom_> butt wend it gets too the loading part it  mesis up
[01:00] <nickrud> tCzern, not a good idea to log into gnome as root, very dangerous. You set it in the Login Manger in the admin menu
[01:00] <confuded> !hi | tecnicodpc
[01:00] <tCzern> My question:  In Gnome, I want to log out as user and log on as root. But then it tells me the System Admin is not allowed to logon from this screen, how does this work?
[01:00] <elf-up> loading as in GRUB?
[01:00] <KingBling> so how do i get the drivers for my vid card to work ?
[01:00] <mcphail> austin987: i installed the newest vmware (workstation, not player) on Gutsy with no problems. Doubt it is the kernel...
[01:00] <zsquareplusc> tCzern: dont log in as root. use sudo/gksodo to run tools as admin instead
[01:00] <tecnicodpc> ty
[01:00] <joebodo> tczern enable local system admin login in sessions
[01:00] <confuded> tCzern: ubuntu had disbaled that option
[01:00] <nickrud> tCzern, better to learn the command line, and use gksu to run some apps gingerly as root
[01:01] <tCzern> I want to asign an icon to an application launcher
[01:01] <tom_> gtg
[01:01] <tom_> bye
[01:01] <tecnicodpc> new to ubuntu
[01:01] <tom_> people
[01:01] <austin987> mcphail, hmm
[01:01] <elf-up> bye tom
[01:01] <KingBling> bye tom
[01:01] <tecnicodpc> just installed  it
[01:01] <nickrud> tCzern, in the menu?
[01:01] <WooAnn_> 大家好
[01:01] <moos3> elf-up: yeah as in grub
[01:01] <tCzern> yes
[01:01] <tCzern> I got alacarte
[01:01] <tecnicodpc> been a week whith it
[01:01] <nickrud> !cn | WolfHack
[01:01] <mcphail> moos3: grub has no concept of runlevels...
[01:01] <elf-up> maybe his kernel went bad
[01:01] <elf-up> or something
[01:01] <nickrud> sorry WolfHack , WooAnn_ ^^
[01:01] <tCzern> but it won't let me copy an icon into /usr
[01:01] <tecnicodpc> still learning
[01:02] <elf-up> i really wouldnt know
[01:02] <moos3> shit, my system is hanging on loading nagios
[01:02] <musikgoat> tecnicodpc: do you have a question?
[01:02] <confuded> tCzern: heard of sudo?
[01:02] <joebodo> tczern administration -> login sessions
[01:02] <moos3> I can't figure out how to get pass it
[01:02] <nickrud> tCzern, that's not how it's done. You would use alacarte to edit your local menu, and the overriding launcher ends up in ~/.local ? ~/.share? somewhere
[01:02] <tecnicodpc> No  just looking around .... But  thanks
[01:02] <ohubuntu> i made a br0 connection and added vmnet0 vbox0 type interfaces to it... all bridged to eth0...  can i tie my wlan0 in the same way?
[01:02] <mcphail> moos3: ctrl-c ?
[01:02] <arve> Problem: Got a server in the next room built out of some old computer parts. Basically just a motherboard and a disk drive. Is there a way of sharing my CDrom drive to the server?
[01:02] <KingBling> can i get some help plz?

[01:03] <_ykram> and your second question must be are you sure i can ask for help
[01:03] <arve> tCzern:  sudo cp <source> <target>
[01:03] <nickrud> tCzern, cp.  you can also use gksu nautilus to get a graphical root file manager, but use GINGERLY
[01:04] <mindrape> tCzern:            sudo cp /home/myuser/this/folder/image.jpg /usr/images/image.jpg
[01:04] <KingBling> im new to linux and trying to move over from windows
[01:04] <WooAnn_> is there anybody knows how to play a rmvb video file.

[01:05] <alaqsory> when I update my ubuntu 8.4.1 there is a message appear and it is saying:
[01:05] <josh> and 4gb ram
[01:05] <quagga> josh: i'd make sure your cpu scaling is enabled and that there are no run away processes
[01:05] <arve> elf-up: surely linux can share a drive :P I suppose i would have to mount a network share somehow, I just have no clue as to how to do that via term
[01:05] <Try80> Hey can somebody help me with WPA-PSK wifi on the latest Ubuntu?
[01:05] <alaqsory> Reading package lists... Error!
[01:05] <alaqsory> E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2 No such file or directory)
[01:05] <alaqsory> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[01:06] <elf-up> KingBling: between login window and the desktop?
[01:06] <musikgoat> Try80: what problems are you having?
[01:06] <elf-up> arve:  same here
[01:06] <confuded> gtg, see you all!
[01:06] <alaqsory> any one will help me?
[01:06] <inductiveload> hi guys! i had windows and linux about a week ago, but nuked my hard drive and reinstalled windows. now i can't install ubuntu - when i boot up with the disc i used before (it worked before) i just get "ISOLINUX 3.53 etc...." and it stops there until i restart and remove the disc. becasue of this i can't even use it as a live CD.
[01:06] <KingBling> i dont even get to login window just says ubuntu and then goes black
[01:06] <nickrud> tCzern, if you break your system, don't blame me !!
[01:07] <elf-up> arve: you could try a remote desktop login or something along those lines
[01:07] <ohubuntu> KingBling... have you tried plugging in an external monitor and then start up
[01:07] <moos3> elf-up: no go on the strl-c
[01:07] <gh0st> can any point me to a web-page of information (My g00gle f00 has failed me) that details how to chat with someone else on the internet in a hardcore secure/encrypted manor to deliver very sensitive information?
[01:07] <moos3> crtl-c**
[01:07] <arve> inductiveload: check your BIOS settings
[01:07] <Try80> musik: I can see my wifi network, but it won't let me connect to it.  It keeps trying to make me put in a WEP key..
[01:07] <droids> i'm having some makefile issues with the xbox360 controller driver in intrepid.  anyone think they could help?
[01:07] <mindrape> gh0st - www.sekure.us
[01:07] <inductiveload> arve: check them for what?
[01:07] <Try80> musik: but it's not WEP - it's WPA-PSK
[01:07] <arve> boot order
[01:07] <elf-up> KingBling: possibly a graphics issue
[01:07] <tCzern> I am not that unexperienced, it's just an icon ;-)
[01:07] <arve> i.e. which devices to boot from and in what order
[01:07] <KingBling> im using ati 3600 hd card
[01:07] <musikgoat> Try80: then either the key or the protocol (AES or TKIP) is wrong
[01:08] <elf-up> moos3: strl-c? whats that
[01:08] <inductiveload> ok, i can boot from the cd, that's no problem, its just once it starts booting its gets to isolinux promt and dies
[01:08] <ohubuntu> KingBling... have you tried plugging in an external monitor and then start up
[01:08] <ohubuntu> on a vga connetion
[01:08] <gh0st> thnx
[01:08] <arve> that's odd
[01:08] <musikgoat> Try80: when you connect, can you set the option to WPA?
[01:08] <KingBling> what do u mean externam monitor?
[01:08] <elf-up> KingBling: i got nothing. hope i helped somehow
[01:08] <moos3> ctrl-c elf
[01:08] <arve> what if you disconnect your hard drives?
[01:08] <Try80> musik: nope ...
[01:08] <arve> and try booting only from the CD
[01:08] <inductiveload> they're internal laptop drives...
[01:08] <arve> or, with only the CD connected
[01:09] <alaqsory> thanks alot for your cooperation :-(
[01:09] <arve> disable them in bios :)
[01:09] <ohubuntu> do you have any port on your graphics card to plug in a vga monitor
[01:09] <moos3> it says runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1
[01:09] <Try80> musik: I've set it in the network settings manually, but it won't let me choose that option when I try to make it connect
[01:09] <musikgoat> Try80: what wireless card do you have?
[01:09] <prymal> does anyone know what the room name is for development?
[01:09] <elf-up> moos3: love keyboard shortcuts! :)
[01:09] <moos3> runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2
[01:09] <moos3> yeah but it doesn't work at boot
[01:09] <josh> how do i check cpu scaling?
[01:09] <KingBling> i have a 56 inch tv hooked to my pc
[01:09] <Try80> musik: It's the D-Link DWL 650+
[01:10] <musikgoat> Try80: not the router, the wireless card
[01:10] <Try80> musik: that IS the wireless card
[01:10] <thehijjt> what could cause passwd to not prompt for a password, or return authentication token manipulation error
[01:10] <musikgoat> Try80: oh, my bad
[01:10] <Try80> musik: its ok
[01:10] <cached> so i supposedly have java5 installed, but the command 'java' yields 'bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory' what should I do?
[01:10] <ohubuntu> KingBling exactly, try plugging in a monitor with standard 1024x1280 or whatever... boot linux, then configure graphics card for tv
[01:10] <Try80> musik: it's an AirPlus
[01:11] <d0netsFN> anyone use sabnzbd?
[01:11] <d0netsFN> or hellanzb
[01:11] <musikgoat> Try80: can you check if wpa-supplicant is installed?
[01:11] <alaqsory> لخخي غث
[01:11] <KingBling> omg i got to pull out the old monster lol
[01:11] <elf-up> phubuntu: he could also do that and then set the tv up as a secondary screen
[01:11] <Try80> musik: it is...
[01:11] <musikgoat> Try80: k, one sec
[01:11] <ohubuntu> good call elf-up
[01:11] <elf-up> KingBling: CRT monitor
[01:11] <KingBling> i still dont know how to install the drivers is it eazy this is my first linux
[01:12] <elf-up> KingBling: the first linux install is always the roughest
[01:12] <Try80> musik: ok.  I tried to manually configure wpa_supplicant with instructions I found on google
[01:12] <KingBling> lol u telling me
[01:12] <elf-up> ohubuntu: thanks
[01:12] <ohubuntu> KingBling  I managed to do it in a half-hour... never installed ubuntu before  (about 6 months ago)
[01:13] <pupp> most recent release of ubuntu keeps logging me out for no reason every 15 mins or so. previous release never did that. can anyone help?
[01:13] <ohubuntu> everything works great now...  especially with twinview
[01:13] <ashley_> Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me trouble shoot this Wifi problem I am having.
[01:13] <elf-up> oubuntu: yeah but with the liveCD its extremely easy
[01:13] <KingBling> i dont know if i installed it correctly do i need to burn it to a disc?
[01:13] <musikgoat> Try80: this doesn't look promising http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308622
[01:13] <elf-up> oubuntu: i had to partition and dual-boot mine
[01:13] <squarebracket> is there any way i can modify the command when i push my "rotate screen" button on my tablet pc?
[01:13] <arve> wtb instructions on how to mount a network shared cd-rom drive
[01:13] <arve> if anyone has some info i'd appreciate it
[01:14] <mindrape> pupp - CTRL ALT F2 into a console and login..... tail -f /var/log/messages           ALT F7 back into X Windows..... next time it happens check the log in CTRL ALT F2
[01:14] <KingBling> yea thats how i have it elf its duel boot with vista
[01:14] <Try80> musik: I had it working in windows..
[01:14] <joebodo> !ask | ashley_
[01:14] <elf-up> KingBling: I dual-boot Mac OS X tiger with Ubuntu 8.10
[01:15] <elf-up> KingBling: and I partitioned my hard drive before Boot Camp came out.
[01:15] <ashley_> hangon someone is helping me at the moment - don't want to cross post
[01:15] <KingBling> lol another os i have never worked with osx
[01:15] <tCzern> you should ;-)
[01:15] <Try80> musik: I followed some instructions to set up ndiswrapper to install the windows driver, and I think that got it far enough to see the network
[01:15] <tCzern> its gooood
[01:15] <zsquareplusc> arve: is the drive already sharedor so you want to set up a server
[01:15] <musikgoat> Try80: lspci | grep "wireless"
[01:15] <elf-up> os x kicks ass
[01:15] <KingBling> im just fed up with buggy vista
[01:15] <musikgoat> Try80: whats the chipset
[01:16] <elf-up> vista's nice for about a week
[01:16] <wos> is there any particular reason why i cant paste to my terminal with the right click menu?
[01:16] <elf-up> then you switch to ubuntu
[01:16] <KingBling> my lil bro uses linux all my friends online use linux and now i want to join the flock
[01:16] <Frogzoo> vista's awful from the install
[01:16] <tCzern> I bet compiz and all this needs extra ram?
[01:16] <elf-up> KingBling: good choice
[01:16] <elf-up> tCzern: nope
[01:16] <Try80> musik: ubuntu's lspci says it's a Texas Instruments ACX 100
[01:16] <arve> zsquareplusc: My desktop computer has a CD drive. My server(running ubuntu server ed and only accessible via ssh) needs to access the data on my CD drive
[01:16] <Guiri> hey is anyone famliar with denyhosts? or better yet is Marco Bertorello here?
[01:17] <elf-up> just need a semi-decent graphics card and a processor thats Pentium 4 or better
[01:17] <mindrape> right here, how do you know my name?
[01:17] <jrib> Guiri: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[01:17] <ohubuntu> KingBling   check out   http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide
[01:17] <KingBling> i need to get another gig of ram just to run vist right..well as right as it can run
[01:17] <mcphail> wos: what about clicking the middle mouse button?
[01:17] <tCzern> what would I need to install here, just compiz or compiz-gnome?
[01:17] <wos> oh
[01:17] <jrib> tCzern: what would you need to install for what?
[01:17] <elf-up> tCzern: I would install compiz first
[01:17] <Guiri> Basically, denyhosts seems to be readding hosts that I take out of the /etc/hosts.deny. for example, it accidentally added an IP of a friend. yet denyhosts.py --purge and taking the IP out of the hosts.deny doesn't work. denyhosts readds it in 5 minutes
[01:17] <zsquareplusc> arve: if you just need to copy some files i'd use scp. if you need a shaed folder there is NFS for the linux world and samba if you need to share with windozew too
[01:18] <teratoma_> how do i change which xorg driver i am using ?
[01:18] <jrib> teratoma_: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:18] <tCzern> k
[01:18] <elf-up> tCzern: then compiz settings manager
[01:18] <teratoma_> jrib: i dont think that's true in intrepid
[01:18] <elf-up> tCzern: i forgot the command that youd enter in terminal
[01:18] <tCzern> uhm, I would need openGL for this?
[01:18] <jrib> teratoma_: it is.  What do you want to do exactly?
[01:18] <teratoma_> or maybe i have some wacky dual monitor thing, nevermind
[01:18] <cached> so i supposedly have java5 installed, but the command 'java' yields 'bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory' what should I do?
[01:18] <mcphail> Guiri: denyhosts may be parsing /var/log/auth.log again, thereby blocking your friend's ip
[01:18] <elf-up> tCzern: if your graphics card supports it
[01:18] <helix> hello everyone
[01:19] <teratoma_> i am using whatever dual monitor thing intrepid uses... where does it store the xorg conf ?
[01:19] <Try80> musik: how do I get the network manager to come back?  it went away when I removed the card and put it back in...
[01:19] <arve> zsquareplusc: both are running linux. I don't think copying the files would work, i'm trying to install a quake3 server, and the installation process asks for the CD (apt-get install quake3-data)
[01:19] <jrib> cached: how did you install it?  Did you use the repositories?
[01:19] <elf-up> tCzern: but i dont think youd need to download it
[01:19] <burner> Try80: alt+f2, nm-applet
[01:19] <tCzern> not sure what my graphic card is and were I could find the driver
[01:19] <tCzern> is that all in synaptic?
[01:20] <zsquareplusc> cached: you may need to run update-alternatives for java
[01:20] <helix> I was just surfing the internet when my wireless got disconnected. Thought it was the router so performed reboot and other checks. Though the other computers windows based work fine. I can't seem to connect to my wireless network anymore as It just asks for the passwords over and over. Any help? I much appreciate it.
[01:20] <jrib> teratoma_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is where it stores the xorg.conf.  However you probably mean to ask something else.  Maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config is what  you want
[01:20] <KingBling> ty for the help im going to go get the old heavy clunker out the storage and try it
[01:20] <elf-up> tCzern: the driver is probably closed-source or restricted
[01:20] <burner> help..  compiz doesn't start... nvidia-glx-177  2.6.27-7-generic
[01:20] <Angah> hi..how to change resolution screen from command prompt?
[01:20] <jrib> Angah: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[01:20] <Try80> burner: thanks, but it didn't come back up..
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> tCzern: lspci will identify your graphics device
[01:20] <arve> zsquareplusc: i'll have a look at NFS; thanks a lot! :)
[01:20] <mindrape> Angah - edit xorg.conf, logout, then CTRL ALT BCKSPCE
[01:20] <pupp> thank you mindrape!!
[01:20] <mindrape> you find it pupp?
[01:20] <bonhoffer> i just upgraded to 8.10 and now i can't start matlab. i get the error: Cannot locate Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
[01:20] <bonhoffer> i have installed the latest jre
[01:20] <elf-up> burner: upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 broke compiz?
[01:20] <KingBling> havent used a 18in screen in 3 years ouch
[01:21] <zsquareplusc> arve: you can right click on folders in nautlis and say "share"
[01:21] <pupp> i did as u said.. when i dissapear from IRC you will know i got booted off hehe
[01:21] <mindrape> ah, gotcha.
[01:21] <burner> elf-up: i was rockin compiz throughout development of 8.10...  only a recent update possibly?
[01:21] <quagga> bonhoffer: have you logged out / logged in since?
[01:21] <arve> zsquareplusc: tried that, it asked me to install Samba
[01:21] <ohubuntu> KingBling.... it should be a one time thing just to setup
[01:21] <zsquareplusc> arve: it looks like it uses samba, yes
[01:21] <elf-up> burner: i have no idea
[01:22] <tCzern> Via Unichrome, no word about opengl
[01:22] <ohubuntu> any ever join ubuntu to AD domains? does it work?
[01:22] <arve> which i did. i suppose i'll have to install samba on the server as well then, to be able to read it
[01:22] <elf-up> burner: every major distro update breaks my compiz and network drivers
[01:22]  * burner has direct rendering... but compiz fails to start
[01:22] <helix> got disconnected from wireless and I can't reconnect (asks for password over and over), any help? (im on ethernet right now)
[01:22] <elf-up> burner: whats your graphics chipset
[01:22] <cached> jrib: yes, the repositories
[01:22] <bonhoffer> quagga, yes i have logged in and out
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> tCzern: the chances of compiz working w/ that chipset, are the chances of rosie odonell getting into a size 3
[01:22] <bonhoffer> java version "1.6.0_0"
[01:22] <arve> zsquareplusc:  well thanks a lot, i guess i'm on the right track after all
[01:22] <jrib> cached: what package did you install exactly?
[01:22] <burner> aww... that's not always true for me, but I was hoping it was some easy thing that everyone has been asking lately ;)
[01:22] <bonhoffer> OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode)
[01:22] <musikgoat> Try80: yeah, i cannot find a successful post with that chipset anywhere
[01:22] <burner> elf-up: 7300 LE
[01:23] <tCzern> heh
[01:23] <jrib> bonhoffer: tried using sun's java?
[01:23] <musikgoat> Try80: for WPA
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> tCzern: is that a laptop, or a PC?
[01:23] <elf-up> burner: GeForce?
[01:23] <tCzern> I don't really need this, this PC is meant to be for Audio Recording only
[01:23] <tCzern> PC
[01:23] <djhash> what is the significance of user ids? other than having numerical ids for users? would it cause a problem if I created a user with a UID less than 1000?
[01:23] <tCzern> I could get a new card, I know
[01:23] <burner> elf-up: yep
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> well, if you want it to work, you could pick up an nvidia card on the cheap, but if its not a huge deal t you, compiz isn't really that big a deal
[01:23] <mrpockets> oh hi
[01:23] <zsquareplusc> arve: other solution, make an iso, copy that using scp and loop mount it on the other machine
[01:23] <mrpockets> how do i make an ISO of a CD i've got?
[01:23] <Guiri> mcphail: I deleted the IP from both files. we'll see if it works
[01:23] <elf-up> burner: i think there's some driver updates in the repositories
[01:24] <djhash> !iso
[01:24] <musikgoat> Try80: it seems the acx driver is only WEP, as you have figured out, and ndiswrapper doesn't seem to play nice with that driver, at least from what i see on the internet
[01:24] <mindrape> !uid
[01:24] <zsquareplusc> mrpockets: cat /dev/cdrom > image.iso ;-)
[01:24] <scunizi> djhash, I think that user id's are automatically generated.. it's a way for the system to match permissions to a user..
[01:24] <jrib> djhash: user's you create should have user id's >= 1000.  Stuff below 1000 may be reserved for "special" users
[01:24] <musikgoat> Try80: is there an #ndiswrapper channel for additional questions?
[01:24] <emorris> hi, is there any way to list the
[01:24] <cached> jrib: sun-java5-bin
[01:24] <arve> zsquareplusc: good idea
[01:25] <mrpockets> zsquareplusc, permission denied
[01:25] <jrib> cached: pastebin: apt-cache policy sun-java5-bin; dpkg -L sun-java5-bin | grep bin
[01:25] <emorris> hi, is there any way to list all the packages which have had a particular version forced?
[01:25] <Try80> musik: I guess there is...
[01:25] <arve> How come i didn't think of that myself? :)
[01:25] <mrpockets> nvm
[01:25] <Try80> musik: thanks for lookin for me.
[01:25] <zsquareplusc> mrpockets:you may need to run it with sudo prefixed
[01:25] <mrpockets> i cna also just click on it and click copy
[01:25] <bonhoffer> jrib, that is what i am using
[01:25] <djhash> jrib: i'm aware.. but would it break a system if I create a user with an ID less than 1000? I'll check on permissions and such.. I just want to make sure it doesn't affect the system and other users
[01:25] <joel> hi all, how can I configure gnome-terminal to start with a bigger window?  like 100x50 or so.
[01:25] <jrib> emorris: you mean that have an update available?  What do you mean by a "forced version"?
[01:25] <arve> Joel: Profiles
[01:26] <jrib> bonhoffer: well what you pasted said openjdk, so something is wrong :)
[01:26] <joel> arve: I've looked in the profiles, but can't find a setting...
[01:26] <arve> sec
[01:26] <bonhoffer> oh, hold on sorry -- let me check
[01:26] <porter1> Oh thank the heavens! Wicd can properly connect to the wireless network I'm using with broadcom drivers!!!!
[01:26] <jrib> djhash: well if you conflict with a user that needs to be added later, I imagine there may be some problems.  Why do you want to do this?
[01:26] <emilien_> need help can't get to vista partition from ubuntu , keeps asking for password even though i set no windows account
[01:26] <porter1> Why the hell isn't Wicd the default network manager for ubuntu?
[01:26] <arve> joel: nvm profiles. use launch options
[01:27] <emorris> jrib: well generally speaking, stuff is upgraded to the latest version, however, in Synaptic you can force a package to a lower version. Is there a way to find these? (I'm assuming that they will not be upgraded automatically since they had a lower version forced.)
[01:27] <joel> arve: okay, how do you do that?
[01:27] <jrib> emilien_: I have no idea how you are trying to access your windows partition from ubuntu from your question, but my guess is whatever it is is asking you for your ubuntu user's password
[01:27] <arve> joel hang on, looking up some stuff
[01:27] <usser> porter1, cause network manager rules
[01:27] <joel> arve: cool, thanks
[01:28] <jrib> emorris: aptitude search '~U'    iirc (see the aptitude user's manual online)
[01:28] <dewente> Log in remotely with SSH (Linux) ?
[01:28] <jrib> !ssh > dewente
[01:28] <can-o-worms> can someone tell me where a user's sound settings are?
[01:28] <djhash> jrib: well.. I want to create a user on my system that won't show up on the Users and Groups GUI in ubuntu.. i thought users under 1000 other than root.. are ignored..
[01:28] <emilien_> jrib,  your right , i kept typing my pass kept getting wrong * hang head in shame *
[01:28] <jrib> can-o-worms: system -> preferences -> sounds.  Care to be more specific?
[01:28] <porter1> usser, well, I guess everyone has their own network managers that work...
[01:28] <tCzern> do I have a Force Quit Options for Applications?
[01:28] <w0ls0n> anyone else here having problems with vmware server 2.0 and the new release of ubnuntu 8.10 ?
[01:28] <jrib> djhash: I imagine there is a better way to accomplish that
[01:29] <w0ls0n> I just keep getting random problems
[01:29] <can-o-worms> jrib: sorry, i mean the file in ~
[01:29] <itrebal> I appear to be having isues with ACPI on boot, it takes ages (so long I've never even done it) to boot without A/C power pluged in (I'm using a laptop) ; (by boot, I mean after Grub has passed off to Linux) and the moment I plug in the AC power, it starts right up; any idea what might be going on?
[01:29] <jrib> can-o-worms: you still need to be more specific about what sound settings you are looking for
[01:29] <djhash> jrib: yeah.. i'm trying to google it.. but all I get is the simple straight forward stuff.. nothing like what i'm trying to accomplish.. i'll try looking more...
[01:29] <joel> arve: gnome-terminal --geometry=100x50 seems to do it :-)
[01:29] <m0u5e> ever since installing intrepid, i can no longer select IP/LPR printing under my print manager... can someone help?
[01:29] <joel> arve: thanks :-D
[01:30] <can-o-worms> jrib: i want to reset it to the defaults
[01:30] <jrib> can-o-worms: what is "it" in your sentence?
[01:30] <can-o-worms> jrib: the sound settings
[01:30] <bruenig> jrib: hi
[01:30] <jrib> can-o-worms: why do you want to reset them?  What is wrong?
[01:30] <jrib> bruenig: hey
[01:31] <bruenig> jrib: how areyou
[01:31] <jrib> bruenig: pretty good, you?
[01:31] <bruenig> !offtopic | jrib
[01:31] <musikgoat> heh
[01:31] <sanguisdex> I need to tunnel my fuse connection through another computer and I can wrap my head around the syntax is any one here able to help me?
[01:31] <emorris> jrib: ok, thanks
[01:32] <dewente> how can i connect to the ssh server over the internet ?
[01:32] <can-o-worms> jrib: the volume applet and onscreen display for my sound all used to work together, but now they don't. But if you create a new user and login, everything works
[01:32] <m0u5e> ever since installing intrepid, i can no longer select IP/LPR printing under my print manager how do i re-enable this option?
[01:32] <arve> joel: still working
[01:32] <mindrape> dewente - pull up a commandline and ssh -u username <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:32] <bonhoffer> so i have two directories: java-6-sun/          java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/ under /usr/lib/jvm/ whicch one is more recent?
[01:32] <mindrape> dewente - if he is behind a firewall/router you need to open up ports to let you in by the hair of your chiny chin chin
[01:32] <mindrape> bonhoffer - ls -alh
[01:32] <musikgoat> bonhoffer: the latter is recent
[01:33] <jrib> djhash: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.2.2  I suppose it's fine to use something between 100-999, but it's against debian policy
[01:33] <musikgoat> bonhoffer: .10 i think is the latest, last time i checked
[01:33] <dewente> mindrape, by the browser i can see the port open
[01:33] <Antioch> I'd like to try Ubuntu on my laptop. It has 2GB of RAM. How large should I make the swap space? (or do I not need any?) Thank you! :)
[01:33] <djhash> thanks jrib
[01:33] <mindrape> err it might be -l for loginname... in any event man ssh
[01:33] <bonhoffer> mindrape, to see the more recent date ?
[01:34] <mindrape> surely
[01:34] <jrib> can-o-worms: you might want to start with ~/.gconf/ ~/.gnome2/ ~/.local and ~/.config/ as likely candidates and narrow it down from there
[01:34] <mcphail> Antioch: how big is your harddisk?
[01:34] <musikgoat> Antioch: 2GB partition should be sufficient, but may not be necessary
[01:34] <musikgoat> !swap > Antioch
[01:34] <bonhoffer> oh -- it is a symlink: java-6-sun -> java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>
[01:34] <ardchoille> IS there a channel for openoffice?
[01:34] <arve> joel:  gnome-terminal --geometry x,y
[01:34] <dewente> mindrape, when i try to connect remotely from otrer pc in the same network i can log in .. but when i try from outside ... i dont ..  http://<IP_ADDRESS>:22/
[01:34] <jrib> !openoffice | ardchoille
[01:34] <arve> joel:  gnome-terminal --geometry 50,10 for instance
[01:35] <ardchoille> jrib: Ah, thanks
[01:35] <arve> joel: gives a witdth of 50 characters and 10 lines
[01:35] <squarebracket> !acpi
[01:35] <mindrape> dewente - well its probably because somewhere on the network port 22 is being blocked from incoming requests.
[01:35] <zsquareplusc> dewente: does your isp filter port 22? try running ssh on a higher port number
[01:35] <smil3y> dewente,  you have port 22 opened on your router?
[01:35] <inductiveload1> bye guys, thanks arve
[01:35] <musikgoat> dewente: forward the port in your router, http://portforward.com
[01:35] <squarebracket> !keyboard
[01:35] <squarebracket> !shortcuts
[01:35] <dewente> i can see my port open http://<IP_ADDRESS>:22/
[01:35] <Antioch> musikgoat That's odd - the automatic partitioner gives me 827MB of swap, as opposed to the 4GB in that FAQ you linked....
[01:35] <Palace_Chan> im looking to backup my stuff, how does this look > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311 ?
[01:35] <mindrape> dewente: also, you realize that is using the http protocol on port 22?   You need ssh://<IP_ADDRESS>:22
[01:36] <mindrape> your browser isn't an SSH client.
[01:36] <storm-zen> how can I choose which screensavers I want to come up randomly?
[01:36] <jrib> !backup > Palace_Chan
[01:36] <dewente> mindrape, yes i do
[01:36] <m0u5e> ever since installing intrepid, i can no longer select IP/LPR printing under my print manager how do i re-enable this option?
[01:36] <musikgoat> Antioch: eh, I wouldn't say that 2x ram is as necessary when you have 2GB, but if you have mega disk space, have at it
[01:36] <mindrape> dewente - I just SSHd to it and got a login...
[01:36] <zsquareplusc> dewente: or is your router running an ssh instead for forwarding to your box?
[01:36] <DrX> why doesn't df free space drop while copying a large file to an ext3 partition?
[01:37] <droids> so i plugged in an xbox 360 controller, and while it's plugged in, it just keeps my mouse cursor on the top left corner of the screen.  it was doing good until i did depmod -a.  is there any way i can reverse what i did?
[01:37] <dewente> yes
[01:37] <dewente> sshd user:passwor@server  ?
[01:37] <w0ls0n> ssh
[01:37] <musikgoat> Antioch: the 871MB may even be fine, is this a first setup?  what do you plan to use it for?
[01:37] <dewente> sshd user:passwor@server:port  ?
[01:37] <mindrape> just ssh... the daemon should be running already.
[01:37] <can-o-worms> jrib: nothing obvious in there, i looked at all the settings for the other user and just can't work out what I have messed up
[01:38] <jrib> can-o-worms: I mean rename all that stuff, log out, come back in.  If it works you have now narrowed it down a bit
[01:38] <arve_away> nn peeps
[01:38] <jrib> !away > arve_away
[01:38] <m0u5e> anyone know anything about printers in intrepid?
[01:38] <jrib> m0u5e: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[01:38] <dewente> for connect from outside of the network is normal    user:passwor@server:port ?
[01:39] <mindrape> yes dewente
[01:39] <can-o-worms> jrib: yeah, that is an option, thanks
[01:39] <dewente> let me check again
[01:39] <jtrops> does ndiswrapper interfere with booting?
[01:39] <smil3y> dewente,  you dont need to put the port in, ssh default is 22
[01:39] <jtrops> I have used ndiswrapper on Slackware,
[01:40] <ohubuntu> jtrops in past experience, it slowed boot time down drastically
[01:40] <Soopa> What's the name of the Windows font package?  I'm trying to install some stuff with wine.
[01:40] <dewente> smil3y; i will try like this also
[01:40] <ohubuntu> this install i didn't need ndiswrapper for wi and works great
[01:40] <dewente> i be back
[01:40] <m0u5e> ever since installing intrepid, i can no longer select IP/LPR printing under my print manager how do i re-enable this option?
[01:40] <usser> Soopa, msttcorefonts
[01:41] <mindrape> sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[01:41] <w0ls0n> is intrepid 8.10? If it is, I am starting to hate it
[01:41] <moos3> how can i chroot from a ubuntu live cd
[01:41] <musikgoat> w0ls0n: yes
[01:41] <droids> i've had no problems with intrepid
[01:41] <w0ls0n> I didn't at first
[01:41] <w0ls0n> vmware just gived me random issues
[01:41] <w0ls0n> no issues at all on 8.04
[01:41] <dudesuper> I just want to say that I have just had a great install and config experience with ubuntu.  Converted a desktop from XP to 8.10.  This has been great.  The community has come a long way since I last tried this.
[01:42] <ohubuntu> same here
[01:42] <w0ls0n> how do you report bugs?
[01:42] <openstandards> hi, just recently borked my ibex installed by removing network manager and unable to access the net just wondewring if i was to install the packages would i be able to save my install?
[01:42] <musikgoat> !bugs | w0ls0n
[01:43] <usser> openstandards, yea sure
[01:43] <mindrape> ah I love the stock market.  I lost $5k today.
[01:43] <dewente> nothing
[01:43]  * mindrape whistles innocently and goes back to work.
[01:43] <openstandards> usser, do you know which repo i'll find the packages as i have no net access anymore
[01:44] <dewente> mindrape, can you log on to sshh.homeunix.com
[01:44] <usser> openstandards, are u connected thru wired network?
[01:44] <augie> how do I disable the Fspot thingie in nautilus?
[01:44] <Palace_Chan> what if im not just interested in saving /home data, but a lot of the configs and basic environment my whole os runs in ? (programs etc) should i just backup all of "/" ?
[01:44] <mindrape> dewente - its just sitting there... probably not gonna work.
[01:44] <openstandards> usser, nope no network are displayed
[01:44] <FFEMTcJ> does anyone have any suggestions on how to have the same /home directory on two different computers?
[01:45] <tux> any word on netbook remix ?
[01:45] <Dominik314> how come ubuntu uses up the battery so much faster?
[01:45] <usser> openstandards, no i mean originally did u use wired or wireless? pastebin the results of ifconfig?
[01:45] <mindrape> tar up your home directory and all subdirectories.  I believe tar czvf . /home/yourname/myarchive.tgz
[01:45] <openstandards> i installed the lxde network monitor that removed two packages if i recall
[01:45] <mindrape> tar.gz rather
[01:45] <ohubuntu> doesn't ubuntu have something like dd that duplicates disks
[01:45] <mindrape> then on the other side tar -zxvf it
[01:45] <dewente> mindrape, do u see SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2
[01:45] <mindrape> dewente - nope
[01:45] <FFEMTcJ> mindrape: looking for something more automatic
[01:46] <FFEMTcJ> and i dont like the idea of storing it on someone elses server
[01:46] <zsquareplusc> ohubuntu: yes it has dd
[01:46] <droids> is there any way to undo a change made by depmod?
[01:46] <dewente> mindrape, try  	http://<IP_ADDRESS>:22/
[01:46] <openstandards> usser, ifconfig only gives a local loopback
[01:46] <openstandards> tried setting an ip manually
[01:46] <usser> openstandards, do sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[01:46] <Palace_Chan> whats the difference between something like dd and sbackup ?
[01:47] <Pretto> where do i set gnome-terminal font?
[01:47] <smil3y> dewente,  it works fine
[01:47] <ohubuntu> i think dd is more like imaging a disk (but not really) and sbackup is more like backing up documents etc...
[01:47] <zsquareplusc> Palace_Chan: dd copüied files/partitons while sbackup copies only selected files that changed (incremental)
[01:47] <delfick> hello. Is it possible to change the shutdown dialog (in intrepid) back to what it was in hardy ? :)
[01:47] <matthew> how do I connect ubuntu to my toaster ?
[01:47] <openstandards> usser, auto lo, ifrace lo inet loopback
[01:47] <usser> openstandards, add this there auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:48] <usser> openstandards, iface eth0 on the separate line
[01:48] <mindrape> matthew - mount -t toaster /dev/toaster /mnt/burnty
[01:48] <w0ls0n> I am SO DONE with 8.10
[01:48]  * w0ls0n tossed the CD out
[01:48] <dle> Hi. I just rebooted and I notice that the network app--the one that tells you, you are connected to the ___ network--has vanished from my panel.  Any ideas what it's called and how I can get it back there?
[01:48] <matthew> lol
[01:48] <ohubuntu> is there a way to bridge my wlan0 connection with vm net interfaces?
[01:48] <Palace_Chan> if i sbackup my entire root, install ubuntu again, install sbackup and restore would i get something identical to before ?
[01:49] <komputes> how do I specify that I want a program to open on display 0 when logging in over ssh?
[01:49] <jrib> Palace_Chan: erm.  yeah
[01:49] <musikgoat> dle nm-applet
[01:49] <DrX> is there a way to tell cp not to start if there isn't enough space on the target?
[01:49] <ericjones> dle, you mean nm-applet?
[01:49] <jrib> Palace_Chan: there would basically be no point in reinstalling
[01:49] <usser> komputes, DISPLAY=:0 && program name
[01:49] <komputes> usser: thank you
[01:49] <Palace_Chan> jrib but say, on a system crash or something
[01:50] <dle> musikgoat, ericjones: Could be.  Starting it from the CL dies with errors, though.
[01:50] <openstandards> so it looks auto eth0 iface, then another line eth0 inet dhcp
[01:50] <matthew> bash: -: command not found
[01:50] <matthew> :(
[01:50] <musikgoat> dle that would be the same reason why its not starting, google the error, or pastebin it
[01:50] <m0u5e> ever since installing intrepid, i can no longer select IP/LPR printing under my print manager how do i re-enable this option?
[01:50] <m0u5e> anyone have any idea? :/
[01:50] <moos3> from a livecd how can I edit files from it
[01:51] <jrib> Palace_Chan: I don't see what the point in reinstalling and then copying back an old install would be
[01:51] <Pelo> anyone know how to fix a yellowish hallow around bright reds on a nvidia tvout ?
[01:51] <zsquareplusc> usser: you can also leave away the && :-)
[01:51] <dasginganinja> Hi, I use 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.  How do i downgrade X 7.4 to 7.3?
[01:51] <dle> musikgoat: http://pastie.org/311944
[01:52] <pupp> ok mindrape.. it happened.. what am i supposed to see?
[01:52] <tCzern> how could I get a OSX like dock into my system? would I need openGL for this?
[01:52] <Palace_Chan> well, or if you made a change that you want to go back, would restoring from an sbackup of root folder be equivalent to say, a system restore to that date ?
[01:52] <jrib> dasginganinja: you can't really
[01:53] <usser> zsquareplusc, yea u right actually it wont even work with && i think
[01:53] <zsquareplusc> m0u5e: my network printer is set up with a socket:// URI. but i did not print since i upgraded to intrepid
[01:53] <usser> komputes, my bad leave out &&
[01:53] <jrib> Palace_Chan: if you restore the right files, sure
[01:53] <Palace_Chan> well but backing up root should back up all files or no ?
[01:53] <jrib> Palace_Chan: yes
[01:54] <komputes> usser: and if i wantthe program to be added to the regular process list of the computer logged in instead of a child processof the ssh shell, so thatthe program keeps running when i disconnect... is that at all possible?
[01:54] <roshan> my friend just installed ubuntu onto his pc and vista is not showing under the dual boot options. the drive is still instact and he can access files from it from places
[01:54] <dasginganinja> jrib: Well do you know of another way to get the ati driver working with 3d?  The only method I'm able to think of is to downgrade X to the latest supported version in the latest catalyst.
[01:54] <zsquareplusc> komputes: use screen or nohup + &
[01:54] <l7> how do i format a usb drive in nautilus?
[01:54] <usser> komputes, something like that nohup DISPLAY=:0 program &
[01:54] <luigi> !it
[01:55] <pupp> the lastest release keeps logging me out.. some one had me type something in to get the log.. but he's no longer in the room :(
[01:55] <matthew> l7 sudo apt-get install gparted
[01:55] <matthew> sudo gparted
[01:55] <jrib> dasginganinja: no I don't, check the bug report
[01:55] <l7> matthew: ah thanks
[01:55] <roshan> my friend installed ubuntu and vista is not showing up in grub even though the drive is still intact.
[01:55] <matthew> np
[01:55] <elementz> help, my linux is going crazy.
[01:55] <matthew> roshan I wiped my vista clean off my laptop ;)
[01:56] <Out_Cold> how do i find out what my disk drive is
[01:56] <elementz> dd and klogd are using about 60% of cpu power!
[01:56] <roshan> matthew: but he wants to dual boot b/c he's new to linux
[01:56] <openstandards> usser, looked at my gutsy config and i understand what you mean, i edited it like you said and restarted using sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:56] <jrib> Out_Cold: why?
[01:56] <Hikefu> dasginganinja, you can downgrade, so google for it... I have ATI and I'm fine without fglrx, but there are ways to do it.
[01:56] <Out_Cold> i want to dd from a file to dvd
[01:56] <komputes> zsquareplusc: usser actually not putting && worked, i put the process in the bkg, disconnected and the process still runs
[01:56] <elementz> tail -f /var/log/messages gave me the following output http://pastebin.ca/1251399
[01:56] <matthew> when you press esc at grub it doesn't show vista ?
[01:56] <jrib> elementz: there's some bug on bugs.ubuntu.com about it that I found eralier.  Let me know if you can't find it
[01:56] <musikgoat> dle: when did this start happening?
[01:56] <Hikefu> Just google for ATI, xorg 7.4, downgrade, etc.
[01:56] <Pretto> where do i set gnome-terminal font?
[01:56] <usser> openstandards, try sudo ifup eth0
[01:57] <Mal3ko> terminal pref.
[01:57] <elementz> jrib: hm found several bugs reporting that issue, but just old ones
[01:57] <dasginganinja> alright, thanks !
[01:57] <jrib> elementz: there was an open one from intrepid or hardy iirc
[01:57] <burner1> anyone have a macbook?
[01:57] <goatmale> How can I run a command over SSH and have it still run when I kill the ssh connection?
[01:57] <elementz> jrib: ok will check
[01:57] <dasginganinja> I am just in need of 3d / opengl support because I need to do some programming for my Opengl class :)
[01:57] <jrib> burner1: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[01:57] <bonhoffer> i just plugged in another computer (nas actually), i want to see if it is on my network -- is there a command-line utility?
[01:57] <Dominik314> how can you see a list of installed hardware?
[01:58] <musikgoat> goatmale: screen
[01:58] <Hikefu> dasginganinja, a quick google showed a few people who managed to do it.
[01:58] <musikgoat> goatmale: nice nick :-)
[01:58] <matthew> goatmate have you tried crontab
[01:58] <mercutio22> Hello, can someone remind me how to add a new launcher to the menu?
[01:58] <goatmale> crontab? no ill google it
[01:58] <jrib> Dominik314: lshw or lspci I guess or lshal?
[01:58] <jrib> mercutio22: right click on the ubuntu icon
[01:58] <usser> goatmale, use nohup
[01:59] <usser> goatmale, nohup programname &
[01:59] <izzy200198> has anyone seen this problem. it seems that thunderbird inbox on ubuntu starts acting funny at around 19,000 emails.
[01:59] <musikgoat> goatmale: screen ssh
[01:59] <droids> when i plug in a usb device, intrepid is auto-assigning it to be a mouse.  is there any way for me to change this?
[01:59] <bonhoffer> i can see the device if i go under windows network -- but how do i find its ip?
[01:59] <jrib> goatmale: use screen inside the ssh session
[01:59]  * burner1 rephrases... anyone know how to have a "home" or "end" action?  fn+left and fn+right do not work as home and end
[01:59] <jrib> !screen > goatmale
[01:59] <musikgoat> oor usser's statement
[01:59] <izzy200198> i can use that same inbox on t-bird on a windows machine no problem
[01:59] <dle> musikgoat: After a stop and restart. I removed a soundcard during the down.
[01:59] <mercutio22> jrib> thanks for your insight =]
[01:59] <bonhoffer> i am looking for an ip scan or something like that
[01:59] <kholerabbi> could someone help me with installing apache with php on hardy?
[02:00] <goatmale> screen emulates my home computer's terminal?
[02:00] <Dominik314> how come I do not see a driver for my Radeon graphics card?
[02:00] <jrib> !lamp > kholerabbi
[02:00] <avar> How do I change the language (locale) my user uses? System->Administration->Language Support only changes installed language packages but I can't find how to use them
[02:00] <Dominik314> does that mean it is not installed?
[02:00] <jrib> avar: click "options" at the login screen
[02:01] <jtrops> ohbuntu, thanks for the advise about ndiswrapper.  I will try to install the linux driver, apparently it is not an rpm, but was designed for redhat with a 2.6 kernel.  We'll see if it works better.  Thanks again.
[02:01] <bonhoffer> maybe i could get this from /dev somehow -- or media ? or fstab
[02:01] <matthew> goatmate you can also run a single command with ssh
[02:01] <roshan> my friend installed ubuntu and vista is not showing up in grub even though the drive is still intact.
[02:02] <storm-zen> where are gnome screensavers config / theme / whatever they want to call it now files?
[02:02] <Dominik314> my swap partition is 5 GB but it only recognizes 512 in Resource Manager... what can I do to fix this?
[02:03] <cached> thanks, jrib. it worked
[02:03] <avar> jrib: thanks
[02:03] <elementz> jrib: sry cant find it. if you have it at hand it would be great
[02:03] <bonhoffer> on my old router i could tell a device's ip address . . .
[02:03] <oops6_41> kholerabbi: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy check for the install a LAMP server on a Desktop
[02:03] <elementz> jrib: the link to the bug report i mean
[02:03] <musikgoat> dle have you updated recently?
[02:03] <bonhoffer> new router doesn't have this
[02:03] <kholerabbi> jrib yeah thanks
[02:03] <bonhoffer> but i think i can get it from the command line
[02:04] <mistermeh> will alsa 1.0.18 be in the repo's any time soon?
[02:04] <kholerabbi> oops6_41: I only want it for testing locally..
[02:04] <bonhoffer> is there anyway to run fstab after i have now made a device available?
[02:04] <roshan> my friend installed ubuntu and vista is not showing up in grub even though the drive is still intact.
[02:04] <zsquareplusc> bonhoffer: you mean mount -a
[02:04] <CorbinFox> i installed KDE onto my system, and deciding I prefered gnome switched back to gnome.  but the KDE startup is still running, i get the blue progress bar and the Kubuntu logo as the system turns on instead of the Ubuntu logo and orange bar i have grown to love.  is there a way to switch it back to the Gnome/Ubuntu start up process?
[02:04] <roshan> my friend installed ubuntu and vista is not showing up in grub even though the drive is still intact.
[02:05] <Randall1> I was wondering how to uninstall (or check) what graphics drivers i have installed because when i try and install the recommended driver for ubuntu it says that it must run in low graphics mode and in hardware driver it says "a different version of this driver is in use"
[02:05] <jrib> elementz: 292560
[02:05] <ncfi1013> i am having problems installing any type of driver for my geforce 6100 nvidia graphics card. can anybody help me?
[02:05] <elementz> jrib thank you
[02:06] <jrib> ncfi1013: what is the latest driver from nvidia that supports that card?
[02:06] <roshan> my friend installed ubuntu and vista is not showing up in grub even though the drive is still intact.
[02:06] <Randall1> roshan: have you checked the menu.lst and i think u have to manually add it back
[02:06] <squarebracket> can you not execute a command on receiving mail anymore in mail-notification???
[02:06] <nibsa1242> how do I change the default application to open pdf files? right now its set to GIMP which is inconvenient
[02:06] <KenC> hey i have a question about laptop drivers i am trying to find the driver for my intel graphics card
[02:06] <CorbinFox> i installed KDE onto my system, and deciding I prefered gnome switched back to gnome.  but the KDE startup is still running, i get the blue progress bar and the Kubuntu logo as the system turns on instead of the Ubuntu logo and orange bar i have grown to love.  is there a way to switch it back to the Gnome/Ubuntu start up process?
[02:06] <roshan> Randall1: how would I add Vista for that manually though? Vista doesn't even show up in grub
[02:07] <ncfi1013> all the research has shown that it is the 177.80, but that one a few previous versions haven't worked
[02:07] <jrib> CorbinFox: just guessing, but try installing usplash-theme-ubuntu
[02:07] <Zane> Whenever I try to use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org" It say that xserver-xorg doesn't exist. Can anyone help?
[02:07] <ncfi1013> ...but that one and a few previous ones havent worked
[02:08] <jrib> Zane: look at what you wrote
[02:08] <Randall1> roshan: i can't remember exactly where the menu.lst file is, but once u find it there is an example on how to add things to grub menu if vista is still there all u need to do is add it to the grub menu
[02:08] <CorbinFox> jrib: its already installed.  i started on standard Ubuntu, installed KDE and tried it out, and now im using gnome again.
[02:08] <nibsa1242> how do I change the default application to open pdf files? right now its set to GIMP which is inconvenient
[02:08] <jrib> CorbinFox: purge the kubuntu one and reinstall the ubuntu one
[02:08] <roshan> Randall1: ok thank you trying now
[02:08] <jrib> CorbinFox: or reconfigure the right package
[02:09] <nkei0> Randall1: It's /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:09] <KenC> does any one know is there a way to find out if i am using the right drivers for my intel graphics card ????
[02:09] <CorbinFox> jrib: what package would that be?
[02:09] <piju_> where can i make a suggestion in packages ?
[02:09] <Randall1> roshan: here it is actually in terminal sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:09] <jrib> CorbinFox: the one I told you before
[02:09] <nkei0> roshan: what are you trying to add to your menu.lst?
[02:09] <CorbinFox> ok
[02:09] <Sinister> monkey/join #law
[02:10] <zsquareplusc> nibsa1242: open the "propierties" on any pdf file. then on one of the tabs you can select the default application
[02:10] <roshan> nkei0: my friend doesn't see Vista in grub after he install ubuntu
[02:10] <nkei0> roshan: Did he format over it?
[02:10] <Randall1>  I was wondering how to uninstall (or check) what graphics drivers i have installed because when i try and install the recommended driver for ubuntu it says that it must run in low graphics mode and in hardware driver it says "a different version of this driver is in use"
[02:10] <roshan> nkei0: it doesnt seem like it. he installed over xp. he can access files in the Vista drive from Places
[02:11] <Randall1> nkei0: sometimes it doesn't show up in Grub after an update or install and all i did was just readded it back to GRUB menu
[02:12] <KenC> ???
[02:12] <ncfi1013> i have having trouble installing any kind of graphics driver for my nvidia geforce 6100 card. any research ive done reveals that the latest driver, 177.80, supports it, but i cant get it to work. can anybody help
[02:12] <mercutio22> Hi, there are some files in my thrash that can't be remover
[02:12] <nibsa1242> zsquareplusc: thanks
[02:12] <mercutio22> Hi, there are some files in my thrash that can't be removed*
[02:12] <Zane> Would the correct command not have "sudo" in it?
[02:13] <KenC> is there any way to find out if i am using the right graphics driver i am a intel graphics card and i am not getting the right rez on my display
[02:13] <nkei0> hmm i haven't edited that kind of grub stuff yet, i've just turned on the options like noacpi and stuff like that
[02:13] <VastHappyDude> hello
[02:13] <mercutio22> can someone help me find where those files are and remove them?
[02:13] <VastHappyDude> i need help getting my wireless card working
[02:13] <Randall1> ncfi1013: I'm wondering if you have the same problem with me but on a different card? does ubuntu tell you to load in low-graphics mode after enabling it
[02:14] <Randall1> vasthappydude: what kind is it? have u tried ndiswrapper?
[02:14] <VastHappyDude> its a dell wireless 1350
[02:14] <VastHappyDude> how do you use ndiswrapper?
[02:14] <ncfi1013> no
[02:15] <KenC> ?
[02:15] <nkei0> Randall1: Should I try ndiswrapper if it's a ipw2200 and it worked before an update?
[02:15] <ncfi1013> randall1, no
[02:15] <Randall1> nkei0: ndiswrapper for what?
[02:16] <roshan> my friend installed ubuntu and vista is not showing up in grub even though the drive is still intact.
[02:16] <Randall1> roshan: did u try and edit the menu.lst file there should be an example how to add vista to it
[02:16] <hilton> So I installed Ubuntu 8.10... hard GPU freeze after 2-10 minutes. Ended up turning off Desktop Effects, and that solved it, at least for a while. I've had a couple of freezes since, so it wasn't just that... one freeze was somewhat random - just basic stuff going - and another was while playing an online Java-based MMO (lots of 2d graphics).
[02:16] <Sc00terKen> its at as me at 800 by 600 and it looks like 16 bit rez but its doesnt say load in low rez or any thing
[02:16] <VastHappyDude> windows 7 dual boots it
[02:17] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: search it in google it's basically used to get windows drivers to work
[02:17] <roshan> Randall1: I tried that but ended up with error 12 in grub
[02:17] <nkei0> Randall1: I also have a wireless card problem.  It's detected and everything, but my killswitch button does nothing to turn it on.  I don't even get a msg that it didn't work in the system log.  I even tried adding the "options led=1" trick and unloaded and reloaded the device.
[02:17] <VastHappyDude> will it work with a dell wireless 1350?
[02:17] <hilton> I can't use FGRLX or whatever it is...card not supported. Any other ideas?
[02:17] <tyler__> How do i burn .flv video files to a DVD ROM and play to a regular dvd player?
[02:18] <Randall1> VastHappyDude:  I'm not sure but its worth a shot
[02:18] <VastHappyDude> ok
[02:18] <VastHappyDude> do i need some sort of package for it to work?
[02:18] <storm-zen> how can I choose the screensavers that gnome-screensaver randomly chooses from?  Also, where does it find the images that it uses?
[02:18] <Randall1> nkei0: Are u familiar at all with ndiswrapper?
[02:18] <VastHappyDude> i had ubuntu on this laptop before, but i gaveup because my wireless card wouldnt work
[02:18] <VastHappyDude> decided to re-install it when my actuall disk came
[02:19] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: do u know what driver to use btw?
[02:19] <nkei0> Randall1: Not really, I've heard about it from other people using it.  But I never figured I needed it because the only problem is my kill switch doesn't work.  Before I accidentally deleted my windows partition i could load that and turn it on and reload ubuntu and it would work
[02:19] <VastHappyDude> would it be an atheros? or shall i de-compress the actual dell file?
[02:20] <Sc00terKen> can i have the paste link pls
[02:20] <VastHappyDude> its a broadcom chipset
[02:20] <fenerli7> quick question, how do you find useful stuff for ubuntu (I'm not talking about the obvious, Firefox, GIMP, Eclipse, ..., I'm talking about simple but ridicilously useful things such as mozplugger, slab, etc.)
[02:20] <gavagai> I want to share an ext2 partition with windows.  should i use ext ifs or ext2fsd?
[02:20] <Randall1> nkei0: sorry not sure wish i could help more
[02:20] <Cann0n> anyone get iphone 3G working yet?
[02:20] <fenerli7> gavagai ext2fs imo
[02:20] <Sc00terKen> its the same wireless thats in the 1525 ubuntu 8 loads the driver mp
[02:20] <nkei0> Cann0n: http://lifehacker.com
[02:21] <mistermeh> forums are down?
[02:21] <storm-zen> gnome seriously made their stupid screensaver impossible to use.
[02:21] <gavagai> fenerli7, thanks, checking that out
[02:21] <VastHappyDude> ubuntu 8.0.4
[02:21] <gavagai> fenerli7, do you use it?  it's reliable?
[02:21] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: first thing you want to dod is figure out what driver you need try google.com/linux and putting your device name in the search engine and see what other people used
[02:21] <Cann0n> anyone get iPhone 3G working yet?
[02:21] <VastHappyDude> ok
[02:21] <VastHappyDude> thanks
[02:21] <VastHappyDude> bbl
[02:21] <fenerli7> gavagai: yep, i've even had a few windows crashes and nothing went wrong
[02:21] <Randall1>  I was wondering how to uninstall (or check) what graphics drivers i have installed because when i try and install the recommended driver for ubuntu it says that it must run in low graphics mode and in hardware driver it says "a different version of this driver is in use"
[02:21] <VastHappyDude> all i am using is an old cardbus one
[02:22] <Sc00terKen> can some one give me the pasting forum link pls
[02:22] <bigfuzzyjesus> anyone in here with a thinkpad and intrepid ibex want to help a brother out
[02:22] <Cann0n> anyone get iPhone 3G working yet?
[02:22] <fenerli7> gavagai: and i'm using ext3 :p - with ext2, you will have no problems
[02:22] <nkei0> Sc00terKen: it's pastebin
[02:22] <Sc00terKen> ty
[02:22] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: is it a pci card or a usb?
[02:22] <dle> this nm-applet thing sure is a pia.
[02:22] <troal02> Anyone here used ndiswrapper on ubuntu 64 bit and the bcm4328 chipset?
[02:22] <fenerli7> dle: how?
[02:22] <VastHappyDude> minipci
[02:22] <VastHappyDude> ripped from a differant system
[02:23] <matthew> troal I use fwcutter
[02:23] <dle> fenerli7: The not working part of it.
[02:23] <seronis> gavagai:  i've used it on XP for awhile with no issues.   dual boot ubuntu and i have my windows SVN, http and other servers all use paths on the lnux partitions
[02:23] <seronis> no problems or corruption
[02:23] <gavagai> fenerli7, actually it is ext3, that was wrong.  but i thought it wouldn't matter and that an ext2 driver can always read/write ext3 as long as there isn't any changes in the journal
[02:23] <kansan> my version of tomboy notes is at 0.10.2.. but i want latest version: Tomboy 0.12.0 ... how would i get that?
[02:23] <fenerli7> gavagai: ok. and yes, you're spot on
[02:23] <Randall1> k try lspci and find the device number and from there figure out what driver u need
[02:23] <gavagai> seronis, sweet
[02:23] <gavagai> fenerli7, thanks  :)
[02:23] <fenerli7> no worries
[02:23] <troal02> matthew: I thought bcm4328 wasn't supported
[02:23] <xolotl_> I have a quick question guys. If anyone is familiar Aircards. I'm running 8.10 32bit. Trying to get a UM175 alltel card to work. Unfortunately HAL sees it as a mass usb storage. Might anyone have some suggestions?
[02:24] <matthew> not sure mine works
[02:24] <seronis> now what id LIKE to do is find a way to force it to be installed during installation for XP, so that xp natively uses it too
[02:24] <Sc00terKen> http://pastebin.com/d8edb49d
[02:24] <Randall1>  k try lspci and find the device number and from there figure out what driver u need
[02:24] <storm-zen> where is the image directory for gnome-screen saver?  ( I think I've figured out enough about desktop files that I can break the screensaver sufficiently enough so that the ones I don't want to show up won't. )
[02:24] <dou213> !kubuntu
[02:24] <Crusix> Quick, rather dumb question: Will updating from 8.04 to 8.10 break anything? I.E. my Xorg.conf/compiz/whathave you
[02:24] <troal02> matthew: And you've got the bcm4328 chipset?
[02:24] <Antioch> Wheres the Hardware Manger (like Window's Device Manager)? I used to know where to find it in Ubuntu, but now I can't. THanks.
[02:25] <dou213> !KDE
[02:25] <matthew> had
[02:25] <seronis> Crusix:  the first couple days i had gnome theme glitches but that all got resolved in the first patch
[02:25] <VastHappyDude> ok
[02:25] <dou213> !server
[02:25] <Randall1> I was wondering how to uninstall (or check) what graphics drivers i have installed because when i try and install the recommended driver for ubuntu it says that it must run in low graphics mode and in hardware driver it says "a different version of this driver is in use"
[02:25] <VastHappyDude> i have the card activated
[02:25] <nkei0> what do you guys think is best, kde or gnome?
[02:25] <VastHappyDude> but no ip is assigned
[02:25] <woody86_> is there an IRC channel for jaunty?
[02:25] <zsquareplusc> dou213: you can also /msg ubottu :-)
[02:25] <fenerli7> #ubuntu+1
[02:25] <woody86_> or more specifically testing it
[02:25] <skysnow> I can't adjust resolution.Anyone can help me?
[02:25] <seronis> nkei0:  considering we're in  #ubuntu and not  #kubuntu  take a guess?
[02:25] <hilton> Does KDE use different video drivers than GNOME, or are they all based on the same basic code?
[02:26] <matthew> Randall try sysinfo
[02:26] <Xintruder> hey musafer
[02:26] <Xintruder> where u musafering
[02:26] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: not quite sure
[02:26] <dou213> zsquareplusc, didn't know that, thx m8
[02:26] <Crusix> Thanks Seronis, DLing now
[02:26] <nkei0> seronis: Yes, but that just said you can run kde in ubuntu...
[02:26] <VastHappyDude> dang
[02:26] <Randall1> matthew: do i need to install it
[02:26] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: still i would try ndiswrapper
[02:26] <matthew> yeah sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[02:27] <matthew> it tells you your system settings and stuff
[02:27] <VastHappyDude> randall1: could you send me a link to some instructions on how to use ndiswrapper?
[02:27] <Cann0n> VastHappyDude: what card?
[02:27] <matthew> linux version gnome gcc x server etc etc etc
[02:27] <droids> i have a question about rmmod:  if a module automatically loads when a device is detected, how would i go about making the module not automatically load?
[02:27] <xolotl_> clear
[02:28] <xolotl_> woops :p
[02:28] <VastHappyDude> dell wireless 1350
[02:28] <seronis> nkei0:  to be honest i havent used kde in a few years and it was on redhat and suse i believe.  but i always thought gnome had a better style and feel
[02:28] <Cann0n> ah
[02:28] <zsquareplusc> hilton: both use the same X server. gnome and kde are just desktop systems built around two different widget sets. there is also xfce and a lot of other window managers (but they do not go as far as desktop envirionments)
[02:28] <seronis> nkei0: but that question is like asking if a programming likes C++ or Java better.   its all in what you want to get out of it
[02:28] <matthew> openbox and fluxbox are cool
[02:28] <Cann0n> fluxbox ftw
[02:28] <matthew> blackbox is good as well
[02:28] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ there is the ndiswrapper page what i would recommend is getting the ndisgtk frontend
[02:28] <Cann0n> but i don't use X much
[02:29] <VastHappyDude> i like the feel of ubunut
[02:29] <VastHappyDude> *ubuntu
[02:30] <xolotl_> I have a quick question guys. If anyone is familiar Aircards. I'm running 8.10 32bit. Trying to get a UM175 alltel card to work. Unfortunately HAL sees it as a mass usb storage. Might anyone have some suggestions?
[02:30] <nkei0> brb, testing something
[02:30] <VastHappyDude> xoloto_: is that the one that has the card reader?
[02:30] <zsquareplusc> xolotl_:  no clue, but some USB wlan cards also have mass storage build in IIRC
[02:31] <VastHappyDude> ok, i downloaded ndiswrapper... now what?
[02:31] <xolotl_> No. its a usb modem with a built in 30mb flashdrive that holds the windows and mac drivers
[02:31] <VastHappyDude> xolotl_: that is why...
[02:31] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: get the frontend for it
[02:31] <Sc00terKen> Ok is there any way to find out if i am using the right Graph Driver
[02:32] <xolotl_> zsquareplusc : Yes, it does. Isnt there a way to edit HAL to recognize it as a usb modem as well as a mass storage?
[02:32] <gavagai> I have a partition that is 99% empty.  i want to resize it.  it doesn't matter whether i make the space in the front or the back, right?  both are safe?  windows isn't on it or anything
[02:32] <zsquareplusc> xolotl_: so that explains the mass storage device. nove oyu need an other driver for the wlan part. if its isb try "lsusb" and search for the device vendor:product id
[02:33] <VastHappyDude> where is the frontend?
[02:33] <dr_willis> gavagai,  shouldent matter. Depends on what you want to do with the new space also.  the UUID might change, that may not be an issue either
[02:33] <xolotl_> zsquareplusc : I have what lsusb lists and i know what it needs to be.
[02:33] <Randall1> should be sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[02:33] <gavagai> dr_willis, i want to make some space and create a new small partition and install another version of linux
[02:33] <zsquareplusc> gavagai: you can resize and move empty partitions. and ext2 should work even with data on it. but not all formatted partitions can easily be moved
[02:34] <gavagai> the space is in an extended partition
[02:34] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: should be sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[02:34] <dr_willis> gavagai,  may want to put the new space at the end then.
[02:34] <thomasite> Hi. How do I convert ogg files to mp3?
[02:34] <thomasite> Thanks!
[02:34] <gavagai> dr_willis, ok thanks.
[02:34] <mistermeh> what package are the ncurses headers in?
[02:34] <zsquareplusc> xolotl_: and a google search with "linux" or "ubuntu" and the numbers did not turn up any results?
[02:35] <VastHappyDude> sweet
[02:35] <Bajoran> gavagai, the ubuntu partition manager should be able to take care of that.. kinda
[02:35] <Bajoran> old one at least
[02:35] <swif> For some reason when I came home today, my number pad on my computer no longer allows me to enter numbers.  I can only use the number row on the left side of the keyboard.  I have a cat and suspect he may have walked on the computer and changed some setting.
[02:35] <VastHappyDude> i am starting to like linux
[02:35] <Bajoran> new one is super-user friendly
[02:35] <Bajoran> a little too much :(
[02:35] <mistermeh> there's no ncurses-dev
[02:35] <VastHappyDude> swif: NUMLOCK!
[02:35] <zsquareplusc> swif: num-lock key pressed?
[02:35] <swif> If it helps any, when I hit the arrow keys on the keypad, it moves the mouse cursor one pixel for each press.  Once I discovered this issue, the trackpad stopped working.  is there a setting that will allow me to use the keypad?
[02:35] <joebodo> !cat
[02:35] <VastHappyDude> now what do i do? the app has installed...
[02:35] <dr_willis> mistermeh,   apt-cache search ncurses | grep dev
[02:35] <dr_willis>          ---> shows about 6 potential packages here. for that answer. :)
[02:35] <josh> what temp should my fans turn on?
[02:36] <swif> VastHappyDude: zsquareplusc: Already checked numlock, it was my first assumption
[02:36] <zsquareplusc> swif: you can configure gnome to use the keypad as mouse replacement. it in the settings for disabled people
[02:36] <Bajoran> josh it depends on what your hardware is, how efficient the fans are
[02:36] <Bajoran> etc
[02:36] <jrib> swif: try ctrl-shift-numlock
[02:36] <Randall1> matthew: sysinfo didn't really didn't help. any ideas on how to unistall a old graphics driver
[02:36] <swif> jrib: Thank you so much.
[02:36] <Randall1> VastHappyDude:  well did u figure out the driver u need
[02:36] <jrib> swif: now how did your cat do that :P
[02:36] <swif> jrib: The trackpad still won't work, however... Any guess why that may have happened?
[02:36] <josh> quad core 2.4 ghz 4 gb ram
[02:36] <swif> jrib: This cat is *good*.
[02:36] <Sc00terKen> IS there any way to find out if there is a graphic Driver for The Intel cards or no
[02:36] <Bajoran> if you were running a server farm you'd want your refrigerant air conditioning blasting all day long and drying the air, while your filters take the dust out and your server fans go full blast

[02:37] <Randall1> VastHappyDude: see my PM and we will continue there
[02:38] <Antioch> Whats the name of the device manager in ubuntu? The program that lists all devices on the machine and their drivers? Thanks.
[02:38] <Sc00terKen> sysinfo
[02:38] <dr_willis> thomasite,  ive seen dozens of scripts/tools  for that  - when doing  some google seraches on the topic..  theres proberly some ogg2mp3 scripts out.
[02:38] <Cann0n> iphone g3, anyone get it to work with linux?
[02:38] <Bajoran> sysinfo is a little more cryptic than most device info programs but it does the job
[02:38] <Sc00terKen> antioch its sysinfo sudo apt-get sysinfo  if dont have it installed
[02:39] <Antioch> Sc00terKen is that the gtk gui? I remember there being a gtk program, but I cant seem to find it in Intrepid (Haven't used ubuntu in a while)
[02:39] <joebodo> imo sysinfo is very nice
[02:39] <thomasite> I actually have an ogg2mp3-0.5-1mdd.noarch.rpm in my laptop. What do I do with it?
[02:39] <qbmaniac> eat it?
[02:40] <Antioch> joebodo is it gui or text?
[02:40] <dr_willis> thomasite,  throw it away since you dont want to use rpms on ubuntu
[02:40] <joebodo> Antioch gui
[02:40] <Sc00terKen> Antioch -- its gui
[02:40] <Antioch> Thanks, this might be the one I remember. Why isn't it a default install anymore? I'm pretty sure it used to be....
[02:40] <thomasite> Ugh. I just hope there's one on Synaptic. Thanks!
[02:41] <joebodo> some very useful programs have been left out of the default distro - probly due to space
[02:41] <dr_willis> thomasite,  or do a fast google search and discover a script at   http://emptybits.com/ogg2mp3
[02:42] <Pandemic187> Hey all. Is there an easy way to upgrade to OOo 3.0?
[02:42] <Antioch> joebodo do you happen to know which? because I have a feeling I'm going to need them :(
[02:43] <dr_willis> Pandemic187,  theres PPA repos for it.. and from what i hear OOo 3 - is a bit flakey at this time
[02:44] <Pandemic187> dr_willis - I really? I didn't know it had problems.
[02:44] <Pandemic187> Err I mean oh really.
[02:44] <dr_willis> Pandemic187,  this is from what ive read. and see others in here mention.  so 'be cautious' :)
[02:44] <gfam_> anyone have a second to help?
[02:45] <dave_> anyone have tftp knowledge?
[02:45] <joebodo> Antioch wine, some nautilus add-ons, pulseaudio utilities, compiz settings manager,
[02:45] <Pandemic187> Maybe I'll just stick with 2.4, dr_willis. I really thought that with 5 release candidates or whatever they had it would be pretty good.
[02:45] <Antioch> Guh.
[02:45] <dave_> im trying to boot dhcp to install on a netbook
[02:45] <berby_cantik> www.penerbitsalemba.com
[02:45] <dave_> i got dhcp server working fine, but tftp keeps giving me errors,  pxe-e11 and pxe-e38 on the client end
[02:46] <dave_> and on this end daemon.log is giving me in.tftpd[9340]: cannot bind to local socket: Address already in use
[02:46] <gfam_> I've got a fresh install of intrepid on a brand new drive with only one partition.  it hangs at "grub loading stage 1.5"
[02:47] <dave_> im thinkin some sort of firewall or something
[02:47] <zsquareplusc> dave_: address already in use is more like there is already an application running
[02:48] <thomasite> Thanks, Dr Willis.
[02:48] <brianherman> i got a problem with this unix command
[02:48] <joebodo> netstat -a to see a list of listeners
[02:48] <gfam_> Looking at the menu.lst i cannot see the disk listed.  No entry for root.  there is however, an entry where i thought the root entry would be that is called uuid
[02:48] <brianherman> alias sex "updatedb; locate; talk; date; cd; strip; look; touch; finger; unzip; uptime; gawk; head; apt-get install condom; mount; fsck; gasp; more; yes; yes; yes; more; umount; apt-get remove --purge condom; make clean; sleep"

[02:49] <qbmaniac> brianherman: :P nice one
[02:49] <thomasite> How do I go to another directory? I have a directory named 'Trini Lopez' that's inside the Music directory.  However, when I did 'cd Trini Lopez' the directory can't be found even if I'm already in the Music directory.
[02:49] <dave_> dp        0      0 *:tftp                  *:*
[02:49] <Dominik314> ubuntu website told me to do this: sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10, but it says can't find command sysctl
[02:49] <dave_> is listed twice
[02:49] <zsquareplusc> thomasite: put the path in quotes: ""
[02:49] <zsquareplusc> or use \ in fromt of spaces
[02:50] <wartalker>  thomasite:cd Trini\ Lopez
[02:50] <joebodo> thomasite You should be able to type Tri - then hit tab for filename completion
[02:50] <dave_> keep getting pxe-e11 arp timeout
[02:50] <gfam_> anyone have a second to help?

I know I need ath_hal module, but I'm not sure which ubuntu packages that comes from.. I presume I don't need to manually config the kernel

[03:03] <KingBling> next i will tackel the usb netgear wireless problem
[03:04] <Tapnzout> how do you break out of a lockup?  alt+ctl+del should bring up a task manager or something
[03:04] <zsquareplusc> joebodo: no, grun reads the real file from the disk. but grub updtate creates automatic enrties for all you installed kernels. but it may remove stuff if you edited in the wrong spots (see comments within file)
[03:04] <KingBling> no i dont see anything
[03:04] <zsquareplusc> s/grun/grub

[03:05] <bungieQord> I'm trying to write a shell bash script that will take the login name of the user, how can I do this?

[03:06] <kholerabbi> LF|Irssi: sorry, I'm actually not using /var/www/ but ~/www which links to another folder. Here is the output lrwxrwxrwx 1 neddles neddles 48 2008-11-11 12:53 /home/neddles/www -> /home/neddles/Dropbox/project pear/items website
[03:06] <bungieQord> I'm trying to write a shell bash script that will take the login name of the user for an argument, how can I do this?
[03:06] <Pyles17> zsquareplusc: i think guest was confused. trying to buy/sell things?
[03:07] <ohubuntu> KingBling for what wireless or graphics?

[03:08] <KingBling> all i need is vid and net and im good will be back helping lol
[03:09] <LF|Irssi> kholerabbi: it might be a permissions problem with Dropbox
[03:09] <LF|Irssi> i'm not familiar with Dropbox so i couldnt be of much help sorry
[03:09] <KingBling> are u guys googling the questions?
[03:09] <KingBling> lol
[03:09] <Pyles17> zsquareplusc: I'm still kind of overwhelmed about the freeness of everything
[03:09] <kholerabbi> LF|Irssi: OK I'll try without dropbox thanks
[03:09] <kholerabbi> :)
[03:09] <ohubuntu> KingBling  take driver files from windows for wg111 and put them into a directory like documents or whatever
[03:09] <ohubuntu> then run ndiswrapper -i /home/KingBling/Documents/netwg111.inf
[03:10] <deathtech> Can anyone tell me how to set my WiFi to come up at boot in Intrepid ? i added auto wlan0 to my interfaces file, rebooted , still ahve to login to X for my wifi to work ? I also would like to use static IPs vs DHCP
[03:10] <joebodo> bungieQord the user name should be set in the environment - do echo $USER or echo $USERNAME
[03:10] <KingBling> ok wait is that in programs?
[03:11] <root_> hi, post upgrade i installed linux restricted module 2.6.27-server, henceforth am booting to a read only filesystem
[03:11] <ohubuntu> KingBling: do you have the install cd for you wg111?
[03:11] <root_> only thing i can do is recover mode root shell and irssi :)
[03:11] <KingBling> yup
[03:11] <bungieQord> joebodo, so to take a login name as an argument I just need to use $USER ?
[03:11] <ohubuntu> alright... put that in cd drive
[03:11] <ohubuntu> go to places
[03:12] <joebodo> bungieQord that's correct (assuming your writing a bash script)
[03:12] <ohubuntu> you should be able to find the drivers *like .inf and others in one of the top directories of the cd
[03:12] <joebodo> deathtech take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[03:12] <joebodo> deathtech look in the section "Adding it to /etc/network/interfaces"
[03:12] <KingBling> man this sux switching over take out hd card plug in crt wait for boot cant figure it out switch back again ask questions switch again lol
[03:13] <deathtech> joebodo : Thanks so much :)
[03:13] <elf-up> hey i need help installing openoffice 3.0
[03:13] <joebodo> deathtech good luck
[03:13] <KingBling> hi elf
[03:13] <fenerli7> elf-up: the problem is? you may want to wait till later this month, i think it might be in intrepid repos by then'
[03:13] <Taza> Can anyone give me a paste of the default /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist in 8.10?
[03:13] <elf-up> sup KingBling
[03:14] <joebodo> elf-up try this: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2008/10/14/how-to-install-openofficeorg-30-on-ubuntu-intrepid-ibex/
[03:14] <Taza> (in pastebin or the official ubuntu paste)
[03:14] <bungieQord> joebodo, yep, also, does taking something as an "argument" mean they have to input something? It says it needs to take the login name as an argument and output user directory. Or should it just output the directory when they run it?
[03:14] <kholerabbi> no- it just don't work :(((
