[09:49] <GizDrak_> I need to backup 2TBs of data every week and keep the backups for 5 years and also have easy access to restore files. any ideas on a good software package to take care of this?
[09:49] <sudobash> gizdrak... wow...
[09:49] <bulmer> GizDrak_: umm wasnt Amanda was designed for that kind of thing?
[09:50] <pyrohotdog> the loopback back and the eth0
[09:50] <pyrohotdog> What am I looking for?
[09:50] <NacC|RailmeNOW> dach
[09:50] <sudobash> 2 TB a week?
[09:50] <Brent_> I'll try to say it all again real quick. Basically, I have Ubuntu on a partition on an external drive. Windows XP is on my main laptop drive. When no external drive is plugged in, Windows boots fine. But when it's plugged in, I get the NTLDR is Missing error, and can't boot
[09:50] <GizDrak_> yup 2tb a week
[09:50] <noelferreira> how can i recover a file shift deleted?
[09:50] <bulmer> pyrohotdog: is the interface you're interested in showing up?
[09:50] <sudobash> Brent_ usb 2?
[09:50] <Brent_> Yes
[09:50] <blublobl1> noelferreira: with difficulty
[09:50] <sudobash> ok check your bios settings
[09:50] <Big_Les> brent_ i'm going to make some wild guesses:
[09:51] <Brent_> I'm willing to listen to anything
[09:51] <sudobash> might be bad cable
[09:51] <Big_Les> see which disk drive is given priority
[09:51] <sudobash> but more likely its bios
[09:51] <sudobash> related
[09:51] <pyrohotdog> Yes, eth0 is what I use. It says NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP.... etc
[09:51] <Big_Les> like does the external one get a lower scsi id number?
[09:51] <Brent_> Nope, brand new cable and the drive works perfectly for everything else. Also, my bios is set to boot from CD, then USB hard drive, THEN the main drive
[09:51] <preaction> GizDrak_: you have half a petabyte of available storage somewhere? are you using removable media?
[09:51] <sx66> dang
[09:51] <bulmer> brent: why not boot on your XP then plug in the USB device after booting?
[09:51] <Brent_> I don't know about id numbers, I'm still new at this stuff(linux, that is)
[09:51] <sudobash> check the IRQ numbers is what they are saying
[09:52] <pyrohotdog> ifconfig shows an eth0:avah that's getting an IP, but it's <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:52] <Big_Les> what happens if you plug in the drive after booting?
[09:52] <pyrohotdog> it's not a network ip
[09:52] <OmegaCenti> Alright, holy $%^& I need help. My partitions are unbootable, and fsck had something to do with it. this has completely STOPPED me from using my computer. this isnt a cosmetic issue. This is an absolute priority for me.
[09:52] <Big_Les> well, a usb device is not a scsi device, so don't worry about it
[09:52] <Brent_> Well, it goes to Windows if it's not plugged in. In Windows, the drive shows up fine, or at least the partition that I have set to NTFS
[09:52] <sudobash> OmegaCenti....
[09:52] <Big_Les> so you installed linux only on the external drive?
[09:52] <OmegaCenti> sudobash: yes?
 4 500gb External Hard Drives
[09:52] <sudobash> format....
[09:53] <Brent_> Yes, Linux, but on a partition, not the whole drive
[09:53] <OmegaCenti> sudobash: #$%^ no....
[09:53] <bulmer> GizDrak_:  have a look at Amanda
[09:53] <R0B`> ;)
[09:53] <Brent_> Is there any way to just get rid of Grub all together and have the bios just detect the drive and boot to it? Or do I HAVE to use Grub?
[09:53] <noelferreira> how can i recover a file shift deleted?
[09:53] <preaction> GizDrak_: that's 2tb, not 520tb. you said you need to keep weekly backups for five years
[09:53] <Big_Les> under linux, there's a file called something like /boot/m[something] .list
[09:53] <pyrohotdog> I just don't get why it'd break after a restart.
[09:54] <Big_Les> you need a boot loader, but it doesn't have to be grub
 we buy new drives weekly
[09:54] <Anlar> Brent_: yes you CAN remove boot loader but it's the most stupid thing you can do
[09:54] <itch^> Hello guys
[09:54] <Brent_> Well, I don't mind using Grub if I can get it working. I also have the Super Grub Disk if that can help
[09:54] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i use Gnome-rdp to connect to a vista machine on my netwrok?.
[09:54] <Big_Les> go look in /boot
[09:54] <Big_Les> i'm blanking on the name of the file you want to examine
[09:54] <bulmer> Brent_: you have not said what do you want done ...you want to boot from the USB?
[09:55] <Big_Les> m-something.lst
[09:55] <Newbie_Dude> What's better for Windows XP games in Ubuntu -- Wine or Cedega?
[09:55] <Big_Les> i'm guessing that it's pointing at the wrong device
[09:55] <Brent_> I want to have Windows boot in most situations, but Ubuntu when I have the external drive plugged in
[09:55] <preaction> GizDrak_: good god are you made of money? wait. don't answer that. your best bet is to simply copy the data over on backup day, as long as the data does not consist of files that can be written to while the backup is being performed
[09:55] <Big_Les> something like hd0, when it needs to be pointing at the usb drive
[09:55] <C-{pR0F> does ubuntu play Mp3 and video files????
[09:55] <preaction> C-{pR0F: yes
[09:55] <Brent_> Big_Les, how do I access this file?
 I am not made of money the company I work for is lol
[09:55] <Comrade-Sergei> C-{pR0F, yes
[09:55] <Big_Les> open an xterm
[09:56] <Big_Les> cd / boot
[09:56] <Big_Les> ls
[09:56] <Brent_> Can I access it using the live disk?
[09:56] <preaction> !enter | Big_Les
[09:56] <ubotu> Big_Les: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:56] <Newbie_Dude> C-{pR0F - Yah, someone answered this a while ago for you. Download the codecs for MP3 from Applications > Add/Remove Menu
[09:56] <Brent_> Cause I can access the external drive's partitions from within the Ubuntu live disk
[09:56] <C-{pR0F> preaction : can u tell me how , i've this message You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.
[09:56] <MrElendig> C-{pR0F: with the correct codecs installed, yes
[09:56] <preaction> !mp3 | C-{pR0F
[09:56] <ubotu> C-{pR0F: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:56] <MrElendig> !restricted | C-{pR0F
[09:56] <Big_Les> you can do that on any unix command line
[09:57] <Brent_> Sorry, I'm just not too familiar with command line yet. So I can do this in a terminal in the live disk, maybe?
 I need a way to search the archives for non-linux people to restore files. We are backup job data that may be reused in the future so it has to be easy for someone to pull a drive and restore the files they need.
[09:57] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i use Gnome-rdp to connect to a vista machine on my netwrok?.
[09:57] <Big_Les> yes, aboslutely, except that the path will be somewhat different because the /boot you want isn't on the root drive, it's on the external drive
[09:57] <Ranpha1> i have a sshfs mount but evertime i want to delete a file it isn't allowed. Making files is however no problem what could this be?
[09:58] <itch^> I`m having a bit of trouble with Azureus. Immediately after I start it, it crashes. Here`s the output: http://pastebin.com/d2bd0bb2e . Can somebody please take a look and gimme a hint about what it`s wrong. Thanks.
[09:58] <Brent_> I did find a file in my boot directory on the drive where Ubuntu is installed. It's boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:58] <Brent_> Could that be the one I need?
[09:58] <preaction> GizDrak_: so they'll have to connect all four drives and search. this is an adminstrative process that you should not be having "non-linux people" doing.
[09:59] <Newbie_Dude> Can anyone suggest a good, basic, clean Address Book program for Ubuntu?
[09:59] <Big_Les> brent_ yeah that's it
[09:59] <Brent_> Or something like that
[09:59] <dxdt> itch^: what java are you using?  Th Sun java or the other one?
[09:59] <Brent_> Cool. So what do I do with that file?
[09:59] <Big_Les> it has the config for your grub
[09:59] <Big_Les> so, it could be pointing the wrong place
[10:00] <jamiejcumbria> I used a prog to remove thing of gnome panel can't remember what it was called anyone tell me?
[10:00] <Big_Les> grub shows you a list of things that you can boot, right?  or does it not even get that far?
[10:00] <preaction> GizDrak_: teach them how to use "find" from the command-line. or perhaps the generic ubuntu "search" will work (and find the ones on the backup not the main system)
[10:01] <Brent_> No, it doesn't even get that far. It USED to, but nothing would boot. Ubuntu would get a "22" error, and windows wouldn't load either, NTLDR is Missing error. So I used fixmbr to get Windows working again, but now I don't even get into the OS list
[10:01] <Newbie_Dude> Address Book program -- Anyone know a good one?
[10:01] <preaction> GizDrak_: in Places > Search for Files -- you can specify a place to start from. have your external disks when connected be automounted (which should by default)
[10:01] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, im playing with grub and i need to know how is named NTFS partition (hd0,1 or other) cuz i want to make that partition bootable
[10:01] <preaction> Brent_: fixmbr is for windows, windows cannot boot linux (normally)
[10:01] <Big_Les> brent_ does it need to installed in a special place, like the first sector on the internal drive or something?
[10:01] <Brent_> I'm not sure, this is all new to me
[10:02] <captainm> Newbie_Dude: evolution has one I think
[10:02] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, im playing with grub and i need to know how is named NTFS partition (hd0,1 or other) cuz i want to make that partition bootable. what command i could use to find out it?
[10:02] <preaction> Brent_: you removed grub entirely, you're using the windows bootloaded now
[10:02] <preaction> !repeat | z3r0ph3wl
[10:02] <ubotu> z3r0ph3wl: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:02] <Newbie_Dude> captainm : OK I'll check it out, thanks.
[10:02] <Brent_> I have reinstalled Ubuntu since then. Shouldn't it have put Grub back in again?
[10:02] <Big_Les> what did you say your boot order was?
[10:02] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you have used Applications ->Internet -> terminal server client?
[10:02] <Brent_> CD, EXTERNAL USB DRIVE, MAIN SYSTEM DRIVE
[10:03] <preaction> !caps | Brent_
[10:03] <ubotu> Brent_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:03] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, hold on im trying to be fancy here'
[10:03] <Big_Les> ok, so if it's on the first sector of the usb, that should be ok
[10:03] <JayRoe> can someone tell me how I make Feisty boot this: "compiz --replace --only-current-screen -c emerald"
[10:03] <Big_Les> but it works from the CD . . .
[10:03] <sudobash> your usb drives partition is messed up some how
[10:03] <Brent_> I don't know if it is. The MAIN part of the drive is just Windows storage
[10:03] <preaction> Brent_: you installed grub to the USB drive's MBR?
[10:03] <Brent_> I don't know
[10:03] <Big_Les> preaction asks a good question
[10:03] <preaction> !startup | JayRoe
[10:03] <ubotu> JayRoe: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[10:03] <bulmer> Brent_: you have to realized, USB is a bit slower, so you have to keep it trying until it can boot off of it
[10:03] <grogoreo> using avidemuxI saved an avi video to jpegs, edited about half of them but when I try to put them back into avidemux with: $ avidemux *   I can only open the files that I edited. All the others it says that they are garbage
[10:04] <GizDrak_> preaction: thanks for the advice. I think I got a good starting point to work out a system. 90% of the time a administrator will be handling the restoring of files. just that other 10% of the time I worried about
[10:04] <Big_Les> Boot loaders MUST be in the MBR
[10:04] <Brent_> I installed Ubuntu, and it did whatever it did
[10:04] <Brent_> I don't know how to put the boot loader in the MBR
[10:04] <JayRoe> preaction how about a modprobe?
[10:04] <Big_Les> have you ever been able to boot any OS from the usb drive?
[10:04] <Brent_> This is a new drive, and it's the first Linux that I've ever installed on an external drive
[10:05] <preaction> GizDrak_: good luck. next thing you know a user's going to call you at 4am saying "something's wrong, i was just walking past and everything stopped working." ;)
[10:05] <Brent_> So no I guess
[10:05] <MajorPayne> Brent_: Does your Bios let you boot from USB?
[10:05] <Brent_> Yes
[10:05] <preaction> JayRoe: uhm... what does modprobe have to do with this?
[10:05] <GizDrak_> preaction: that already do that. Normally they just forgot to click the right script :-/
[10:06] <JayRoe> preaction I want compiz and my remote control to work at boot
[10:06] <Brent_> I'm not a computer newbie, just a linux newbie. So that's why I'm just not used to all this, it's never been needed before
[10:06] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, how do i set the gnome client to listen?
[10:06] <preaction> JayRoe: you want that run when you login, you do not want it run at boot. that command will replace your window manager (which doesn't exist until you login)
[10:06] <sudobash> actually i think you need to install the boot loader on the main drive
[10:06] <captainm> Brent_ Isn't using syslinux an option?
[10:06] <Big_Les> brent_, i would try putting GRUB on the internal drive and always booting through it.
[10:06] <sudobash> and have the option in GRUB or LILO to boot to usb or HD
[10:06] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: huh? client to listen? its the server that listens not the client
[10:06] <sudobash> yeah
[10:06] <Brent_> How do I go back and put GRUB on the main drive?
[10:06] <Brent_> without breaking things, that is
[10:06] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer ok what...?
[10:06] <preaction> GizDrak_: i'm tempted to advise you go BOFH on the users... you actually let them touch your servers? </offtopic>
[10:06] <Newbie_Dude> captainm - The Evolution Address Book is awesome, thanks again. Just what I needed.
[10:07] <Big_Les> does the rescue disk offer the option of installing grub?
[10:07] <Brent_> Are you talking about the Super Grub Disk?
[10:07] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, ok i wanna do it all wioth tightvnc
[10:07] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you have used Applications ->Internet -> terminal server client? use this to connect to a windows xp or 2003
[10:07] <captainm> Newbie_Dude: Evolution is awesome
[10:07] <Brent_> It has a ton of options, but I'm not sure what they all are yet
[10:07] <preaction> Big_Les: yes. you can use a terminal to grub-install /dev/hda (or something like that)
[10:07] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, this is vista
[10:07] <axos88_> Can someone pleeease help me with starting my wlan?
[10:07] <axos88_> i just can't install the drivers... i'd need iwl4965 i gues
[10:07] <sudobash> comrade why?
[10:07] <Brent_> Any time I've ever tried to type anything suggested into a terminal, it never works. I always get errors
[10:08] <MrElendig> axos88_: iwconfig wlan0 essid some_metwork && dhclient wlan0
[10:08] <Comrade-Sergei> sudobash, thats all hp offers anymore
[10:08] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: vista too, i prefer to use NXMachine client than VNC
[10:08] <GizDrak_> preaction: No they do not have direct access to the servers some of them have limited remote access.
[10:08] <sudobash> Brent_ then you havent installed anything then
[10:08] <mneptok> Brent_: is the keyboard right side up?
[10:08] <sudobash> or much
[10:08] <sudobash> lol
[10:08] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, ok is there a gui to NXMachine?
[10:08] <Brent_> Errr, I think(LOL!)
[10:08] <akos__> MrElendig, wlan0 no such device
[10:08] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: yes, its fast
[10:08] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, in the repos i assume?
[10:08] <Big_Les> ok, so if it were me, i would try putting a linux-friendly boot loader on the internal drive and putting it in the boot order before the usb drive.  However, I would be certain to have a windows rescue disk on hand before trying this, because if it doesn't work, your computer will not boot at all without intervention.
[10:09] <sudobash> Brent_ install all updates and then some
[10:09] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: sorry i got it confused..NXMAchine is for X server as client
[10:09] <Brent_> I don't know how to install JUST the boot loader, and what updates would those be?
[10:09] <sudobash> mainly you should read
[10:09] <MrElendig> akos__: iwconfig to find the real name
[10:09] <eifzon> When I am trying to remove gaim and like bittorrent, gnome-btdownload and ubuntu-desktop is also wanted to get unistalled, why? is that bad?
[10:09] <MrElendig> iwconfig without an option
[10:10] <Big_Les> it should be an option on one of the disks you have.  i'm guessing, but i would be really surprised if it wasn't.
[10:10] <sudobash> if you are saying that the commands that are given through this channel are not working you may be missing updates/binaries....
[10:10] <dxdt> eifzon: it is ok it is just a metapackage.
[10:10] <akos__> MrElendig, i don't have the wlan driver loaded
[10:10] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, im not seeing it in the repos...
[10:10] <eifzon> dxdt: same with gaim
[10:10] <r0b-> how do i do the watch command in ubuntu
[10:10] <r0b-> ?
[10:10] <Brent_> I guess I can try using the Super Grub Disk to see if it has the option to reinstall it, maybe?
[10:10] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: its not from the repos..its from its own site
[10:10] <Big_Les> sounds like a good place to start
[10:10] <dxdt> eifzon: it sounds really scary but it is just basically telling the system that you are removing some of the basic components that came with teh install is all.  It doesn't actually uninstall the desktop.  It just sounds scary.
[10:11] <akos__> MrElendig, i tried doing that script you gave me, but modprobe iwl4965 hangs
[10:11] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: ..NXMAchine is for X server as client and not for rdp (windows)
[10:11] <captainm> eifzon: It's a metapackage. A way for synaptic to install multiple packages at once iirc
[10:11] <Brent_> Once installed, should it detect the OS properly? As long as I select the proper order?
[10:11] <eifzon> dxdt: good :}
[10:11] <grogoreo> though, if I manually open some of the 'garbage' files then it works ok
[10:11] <eifzon> hehe
[10:11] <akos__> MrElendig, this is an amd64 machine
[10:11] <eifzon> just wanted to be sure
[10:11] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer i wanna use vnc
[10:11] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, i got tight vnc on my vista laptop
[10:11] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer,  i cant stand wmp 11 and i really want amarok omn it
[10:11] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you want from linux to vista or vista to linux?
[10:12] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, linux to vista
[10:12] <Brent_> I'm going to go try the SGD and I'll come back if/when it doesn't work
[10:12] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: tightvnc is okay
[10:12] <Brent_> Just warning you though. I really don't know what I'm doing!
[10:12] <Big_Les> my question: I am trying to config X on a tablet PC: an HP Pavillion.  the x config files lists wacom tablets in it.  surprisingly, this works to move the pointer around when you use the stylus on the screen, but the pointer is transposed to the wrong location.  I think that i probably need to reassign the top_left, bottom_right sort of numbers.  Does anybody know what sort of syntax i would use to do that or if there's software to let you figure out scr
[10:12] <Big_Les> een coordinates on the fly?
[10:12] <Anlar> Comrade-Sergei: windows comes with good technology on its own, it was actually developed by the best (Citrix) and just rocks if you know how to use it properly
[10:13] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer,  this website http://www.nomachine.com/index.php
[10:13] <Comrade-Sergei> anlar whaere is it?
[10:13] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: yes thats for NXMachine client
[10:13] <bulmer> or server
[10:13] <mhz`-> someone buy me a new laptop
[10:13] <mhz`-> :)
[10:13] <Big_Les> brent_ if it gets fracked up and you have a windows rescue disk, you just put the windows boot loader back on and you're not any worse off than you were before.
[10:14] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, i want the server right?
[10:14] <Big_Les> ok, is there an irc channel for ubuntu or debian that tends to get tablet oc users?
[10:14] <r0b-> can someone help me
[10:14] <r0b-> ?
[10:14] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: both really
[10:15] <Comrade-Sergei> ah
[10:15] <Big_Les> i meant to say "tablet pc"
[10:15] <Newbie_Dude> If a program was made for KDE - like "KTurtle" from the Add/Remove Apps - does that mean I shouldn't use it in Ubuntu?
[10:15] <preaction> Newbie_Dude: no, you can use it just fine
[10:15] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: but this product is more for X server than rtp on windows
[10:15] <Pricey> Big_Les, not really sorry
[10:15] <eifzon> I just installed ubuntu from alternate cd, what driver's is the best for: "Asus GeForce 7950GT" ?
[10:15] <Warbo> Have there been any updates to Epiphany within the past few days? The page rendering has become terrible, it is mangling blogger.com, slashdot, linux.com and others
[10:15] <burner> Newbie_Dude, you may use it, but it will use a few more resources if kde libs aren't loaded for any other reason
[10:16] <t2> hi,  i'm following ubuntuguide.org in a section called " How to have Firestarter start without the root password".  It says that this is not secure can anyone tell me why ?   (i will be doing on this on my home machine)
[10:16] <Anlar> warbo: no
[10:16] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer maybe i can use the memote desktop connection thingy in vista
[10:16] <Big_Les> shoot, man, almost everything works even though it's a weird-ass hp thing
[10:16] <MTecknology> Can anybody help me? I just want to insert the date into the filename
[10:16] <Newbie_Dude> burner, preaction : thanks
[10:16] <burner> Warbo, probably your profile... ~/.gconf somewhere
[10:16] <t2> currently everytime firestarter starts up i have to enter sudo password
[10:16] <Warbo> burner: I'll have a look
[10:16] <Big_Les> MTech: into the file name of what?
[10:16] <preaction> t2: if you allow it, you allow anyone at all to mess with your iptables. if there are holes in firestarter, users may use it to achieve a root shell.
[10:17] <preaction> t2: you only need to run firestarter to actually change your iptables, you don't need it running all the time
[10:17] <Big_Les> MTecknology in a script or what?
[10:17] <MTecknology> Big_Les, ya
[10:17] <axos88> MrElendig, ?...
[10:17] <t2> preaction:  are you refering to users over the internet who gain access to my machine or people using my machine locally ?    i want to see icon gui so i can see whats going on...
[10:17] <Big_Les> In bash?  In perl?  What language are you using?
[10:18] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, dling
[10:18] <Big_Les> Also worth noting that "Prgramming Perl" is great as is the o'reilley book on bash
[10:18] <Darkyn> hello
[10:18] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: good luck
[10:18] <MTecknology> Big_Les, bash
[10:18] <preaction> t2: users using your machine locally. it's possible to achieve knowledge of what's going on w/o root access (by parsing /var/log/messages)
[10:18] <Darkyn> how do i change users in ubuntu
[10:18] <Comrade-Sergei> ill need it
[10:19] <sayers> My motherboard can't detect my CD Driver for some reason?
[10:19] <Newbie_Dude> burner - so if it might use more resources, does that mean I'm better off with a GNOME-based IRC client instead of a KDE one? I'm using Konversation (KDE) IRC client now...
[10:19] <t2> preaction: so if i am the only user of this machine at home... then removing startup password will be safe ?
[10:19] <Warbo> Darkyn: Change some user preferences, or switch to a different user?
[10:19] <noelferreira> how can i recover a file shift deleted?
[10:19] <Darkyn> every time i go to switch users it says i dont have permission and i am logged being root
[10:19] <noelferreira> how can i undelet a file shift deleted?
[10:19] <MTecknology> Big_Les, found it, thganks
[10:19] <Darkyn> i dont want to be root
[10:19] <burner> Newbie_Dude, take a look at your ram usage and stuff and you tell me ;)  gnome-system-monitor will enlighten a little bit of the situation.  I'd say if you like so many KDE apps, just go KDE :)
[10:20] <Anlar> noelferreira: buh-bye file :) deleting means deleting.
[10:20] <Warbo> Darkyn: Are you using su? You need to call it with sudo su
[10:20] <jamiejcumbria> any on know how to disable the log out button on gnome
[10:20] <osxdude|lapto1> I CHANGED THE ROOT PASSWORD! YAHOO!
[10:20] <Big_Les> well, you can do something like touch foo`date`, but you need to first get the dates out of the date command output
[10:20] <Newbie_Dude> go KDE... omg
[10:20] <noelferreira> how Warbo?
[10:20] <burner> jamiejcumbria, sabayon?
[10:20] <preaction> t2: again, same thing. firestarter must run as root. running things as root for extended periods of time is not good.
[10:20] <preaction> !caps | osxdude|lapto1
[10:20] <noelferreira> how can i call it?
[10:20] <ubotu> osxdude|lapto1: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:20] <Darkyn> i tryed that i think
[10:20] <preaction> !root | osxdude|lapto1
[10:20] <ubotu> osxdude|lapto1: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[10:20] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer,  it syas i cant install it because depeindency not satifiyible "nxserver"
[10:20] <Darkyn> let me see
[10:20] <sudobash> osxdude change the root password by using the root password or by some other manner?
[10:21] <sam123> !dstats feisty
[10:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dstats feisty - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:21] <sam123> !dstats
[10:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dstats - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:21] <sudobash> does anyone know if i decide to put ubuntu on an iMac to see how it works... will i be able to put Mac OS X back onto the iMac if I decide to?
[10:21] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you may have to google for the help on installing it
[10:21] <Warbo> noelferreira: run "sudo su"
[10:21] <jamiejcumbria> burner: Thanks
[10:21] <osxdude|lapto1> sudobash: no, using user  settings :P
[10:21] <Darkyn> i cant do it
[10:21] <sudobash> wow your cool osxdude
[10:21] <Warbo> Darkyn: Try running "sudo -s -H" then running su from there
[10:21] <t2> preaction:  yes i understand the risks of root it's  just that since this risk only affects local physical users of the machine (and not those on the internet) then since i am the only user i shouldn't have to worry about this
[10:22] <Big_Les> MTek, you could do seconds from the grand epoch, it you're just looking for unique IDs
[10:22] <Darkyn> what do i enter
[10:22] <Darkyn> ok
[10:22] <sam123> how do i find out the package information?
[10:22] <Darkyn> says enter new linux password
[10:22] <Comrade-Sergei> lol bulmer im dumb i eed the client
[10:22] <sam123> !dstats feisty fawn
[10:22] <noelferreira> and then Warbo?
[10:23] <Warbo> noelferreira: And then what? That is it
[10:23] <Warbo> Darkyn, it should ask for your normal user password
[10:23] <sam123> !dstats 7.04
[10:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dstats 7.04 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:23] <Warbo> (the user you are at the moment)
[10:23] <sudobash> Dead as dead can be is what the doctor tells me
[10:24] <sam123> how do i find out the package stats?
[10:24] <Darkyn> how do i start ubuntu under regular user
[10:24] <Darkyn> i cant use startx
[10:24] <ge2x> how can i determine if i have installed pxe server correctly? what port does it use?
[10:25] <sudobash> what happens when you try startx
[10:25] <sudobash> ?
[10:25] <Warbo> Darkyn, usually the graphics are started with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[10:25] <bulmer> tftp
[10:26] <nickrooster> Hi all - has anyone had an issue with a forcedeth network card dropping packets randomly? Mine is sometimes dropping as much as 50% in Feisty
[10:27] <akio> im having a segfault when trying to load compiz-core, where should i go for info?
[10:27] <sudobash> #compiz
[10:28] <akio> ty
[10:28] <Warbo> These webpages are completely unusable in Epiphany :( I don't know what's caused it
[10:28] <akio> there are only 28 people in there?
[10:28] <akio> sudobash: ?
[10:28] <sdouble> it's all about quality, not quantity
[10:29] <sdouble> 28 people that know about compiz, or 1111 people that don't.  You decide.  =]

[10:30] <anywhere> hi folks...
[10:30] <anywhere> i'm using ubuntu 7.04 and switched to xfce because my computer is very slow. i'm very satisfied with it but one problem is the menu. most applications are shown in the menu, but not all... kdevelop for instance, is not in it. in the gnome menu however, it seems to be. alacarte shows every application. does anybody know how to add applications to the menu?
[10:30] <neozen> yeah
[10:31] <neozen> the I think the appfinder can do that
[10:31] <sam123> !aptinfo
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aptinfo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <Brent_> I'm having troubles getting GRUB to work. I can't seem to get it to actually boot any operating systems
[10:31] <osxdude|laptop> !grub
[10:31] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:31] <osxdude|laptop> !grub | Brent_
[10:31] <Ranpha1> if i mount a hdd and want to have acces for everboy how can i do this?
[10:31] <ubotu> Brent_: please see above
[10:32] <nickrooster> anywhere: edit ~/.xfce4/menu.xml
[10:32] <neozen> anywhere: unfortunately... they removed that from the menu since dapper... so I'll look up the name of the executable for ye
[10:32] <bobbob1016> I have a few computers I'm hoping to sell in a garage sale tomorrow, I was thinking of putting edubuntu or something on them, any ideas for a distro, or programs to put on it, to sell the computers as kid friendly?
[10:32] <bobbob1016> such as parental controls, and things like that
[10:32] <neozen> anywhere: or you could do as nickrooster recommends..... (probably easier)
[10:32] <osxdude|laptop> bobbob1016:  use windows :P
[10:32] <disinterested> hahaha bill gates isnt the richest man anymore
[10:32] <sdouble> disinterested: is it that mexican man?
[10:32] <sam123> how do i find out the package stats for ubuntu?
[10:33] <anywhere> nickrooster, this files doesn't handle apps, it "includes" an external menu for this
[10:33] <disinterested> yep
[10:33] <dxdt> disinterested: welcome to weeks ago.
[10:33] <Anlar> disinterested: hahaha he is still richer than 99% of the countries of the world
[10:33] <bobbob1016> osxdude|laptop, they are old, they could do 98
[10:33] <sdouble> wow, he was far behind still last I knew
[10:33] <Warbo> disinterested: He was overtaken though, he hasn't gone down. Shame
[10:33] <Brent_> I'm sorry, but that page that was linked to is just plain confusing to me
[10:33] <nickrooster> anywhere: - I'm sorry, I didn't understand that
[10:33] <Brent_> Grub loads, but doesn't work at all
[10:33] <disinterested> yeah but it will eventually hapen
[10:34] <disinterested> if windows users quit bowing to their masters
[10:34] <neozen> nickrooster: the actual applications are included in from a different file....
[10:34] <sn0w> join #ubuntu-effects
[10:35] <nickrooster> neozen: ah, sorry - I've actually never used XFCE, I just googled for that answer real quick
[10:35] <Brun> how i can see video 1024x768? i nned codecs?
[10:35] <neozen> nickrooster: heh... no problem
[10:35] <Brent_> How can I get GRUB loaded on my main partition? It seems to be loaded on my external drive, but I don't know why
[10:35] <neozen> anywhere: scope out #xubuntu they'll have real answers for you
[10:35] <Brent_> And will it damage Windows or the main hard drive if I install it there?
[10:35] <osxdude|laptop> Brent_: Move it.
[10:35] <SurfnKid> hi guys, could someone help me format a new hard drive?
[10:35] <C-{pR0F> Thank guys ,,, the video is working !
[10:35] <Brent_> I don't know how
[10:35] <MrElendig> Brent_: because you installed it on the external?
[10:35] <nickrooster> Brent_: Without doing a reinstall?
[10:35] <SurfnKid> I loaded the ubnutu live CD
[10:35] <zaggynl> Anyone knows what to do against frequent usb resets? they are driving me insane
[10:35] <SurfnKid> Im on the desktop now using Gparted
[10:35] <kismet> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-backports/universe/source/Sources.bz2  MD5Sum mismatch, *sorry for repeating*
[10:35] <zaggynl> both usb devices operate normally in windows :(
[10:36] <SurfnKid> and I see the USB hard drive
[10:36] <anywhere> nickrooster, ~.xfce4/menu.xml doesn't define the application section of the menu, instead it says: <include type="system" style="simple" unique="true" legacy="true"/>. which may me that the app menu is included from another file.
[10:36] <Brent_> I installed it from Ubuntu, I'm assuming.  What is the best way to COMPLETELY remove Ubuntu and it's partitions, along with GRUB, and start over?
[10:37] <Brent_> Or will that even do any good?
[10:37] <nickrooster> Brent_: I would just reinstall
[10:37] <zaggynl> Anyone knows what to do against frequent usb resets? they are driving me insane
[10:37] <SurfnKid> MrElendig:  let me ask, will it set it up the same way as an internal hard drive, lets say i.e. a new linux partiton running ubuntu?
[10:38] <MrElendig> SurfnKid: exact same way
[10:38] <nickrooster> Brent_: On the last page of the installer, there are advanced options that say which drive you want to install the bootloader on
[10:38] <Brent_> I have already tried deleting partitions, remaking them, and reinstalling Ubuntu
[10:38] <SurfnKid> ok cool let me try it
[10:38] <Anlar> zaggynl: kernel bug likely, you should report it at launchpad
[10:38] <GizDrak_> Brent_ just run the live cd and then use gparted to repartition and format the drive
[10:38] <Brun> how can i see video 1024x768? avi files. i need codecs or players?
[10:38] <Brent_> Oh
[10:38] <Pie-rate> Anlar: hmm
[10:38] <zaggynl> Anlar, done that, a few weeks ago
[10:38] <nickrooster> Brent_: By default it should install on (0,0), which is just the first hard drive in the hierarchy
[10:38] <Brent_> Ok, One more question. Since I THINK that Grub is on my external instead of my main drive, how do I get rid of it?
[10:38] <MrElendig> Brent_: depends on what codec that is used on the movie
[10:38] <Pie-rate> Anlar: ok i'm guessing grub doesn't know which hard drive to boot from because its been moved to a different system.
[10:38] <Pie-rate> Anlar: is there a better boot loader?
[10:38] <SurfnKid> MrElendig:  how do i specify where the device is?
[10:39] <MrElendig> cfdisk /dev/something
[10:39] <eifzon> hmm
[10:39] <nickrooster> Anlar: I prefer grub, but you can try LILO
[10:39] <SurfnKid> ok
[10:39] <Anlar> Pie-rate: grub can handle the drive moving also, because your bios sets it always as 0,0 when you boot from usb.. something entirely else is wrong
[10:39] <eifzon> why do i get this when i am trying to mount my other hdd? http://pastebin.ca/618218 and http://pastebin.ca/618221
[10:39] <Pie-rate> Anlar: it boots from my main box, and my laptop.
[10:40] <Brent_> If I select where to install Grub during the reinstall, will it then load from the new location instead?
[10:40] <Pie-rate> Anlar: let me test my laptop again right now
[10:40] <Anlar> Pie-rate: if it doesn't boot somewhere the bios of that computer is severely broken
[10:40] <nickrooster> Brent_: Yes, it should, but only if that drive is the first one it hits when doing the boot after the POST
[10:40] <sam123> How do i find out useful package information like i can by typing in '!dstats' in #Debian?
[10:40] <Pie-rate> Anlar: its an older computer, and it boots windows fine. its one of the ones where i work
[10:40] <Brent_> Am I right in assuming that since Windows loads just fine when my external drive isn't plugged in, that Grub isn't on that drive?
[10:40] <preaction> sam123: !info <package>
[10:41] <nickrooster> Brent_: You want grub on whatever drive you normally boot from
[10:41] <preaction> sam123: but it might be best to private message ubotu with that sort of thing, or use google
[10:41] <osxdude|desktop> Pie-rate: keep windows on it :P
[10:41] <nickrooster> Brent_: Could be?  I would like to install another distribution on my unused partition, is it possible?
[10:41] <sam123> preaction i want to know information about all the software on the repositories
[10:41] <ompaul> !ohmy | Pie-rate
[10:41] <ubotu> Pie-rate: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:41] <Anlar> Pie-rate: ok then.. well, if grub fails like that it is likely otheres will as well.. but you can set up lilo as well, then you need that small boot partition at the beginning of desk
[10:41] <Brent_> Right now, Windows loads WITHOUT any loader. It just boots as normal.  It's the drive I put Ubuntu on
[10:42] <Pricey> Pie-rate, please watch your language.
[10:42] <Pie-rate> yes, yes. i'm sorry.
[10:42] <tomeks> hi all, can anyone help me with a wifi card?
[10:42] <BaD_CrC> my my such language
[10:42] <Brun> how can i see video 1024x768? avi files. i need codecs or players?
[10:42] <BaD_CrC> i hope my kids didn't see that
[10:42] <nickrooster> Brent_: Oh, well, so you want to intall ubuntu to the usb drive, but you want grub on your main drive?
[10:43] <Pie-rate> Anlar: why is syslinux used instead of grub for usb flash drives?
[10:43] <sdouble> BaD_CrC: might be a good idea that they do since that's the way the world is headed  =/
[10:43] <preaction> sam123: use apt-cache, apt-file, use google. i don't know what !dstats in #Debian does so i don't know what kind of info you're looking for
[10:43] <Brent_> I guess so. That's what somebody told me here last time I was in(about an hour ago). They said it needs installed on the main drive
[10:43] <Anlar> Pie-rate: there's no real reason. it's just yet another project for re-inventing wheel.
[10:43] <Brent_> Right now, grub doesn't run unless I have my external drive plugged in(which is where Ubuntu is installed)
[10:44] <sam123> preaction i want to know the installed size, compressed size and amount of packages
[10:44] <tomeks> I have a big problem with d-link dwl 520 E1
[10:44] <nickrooster> Brent_: well, hmmm - if you do a reinstall and format the drive, but change the option to install grub onto the other drive (which I think should be (1,0)), you should be fine
[10:44] <SurfnKid> MrElendig: ok this is funny i just loaded cfdisk, silly question. is this as similar as the msdos fdisk?
[10:44] <tomeks> tried to google it but nothing helped
[10:45] <Brent_> Well, I'll try doing all that with the Ubuntu live disk, and I'll come back if/when I have problems
[10:45] <Brent_> I don't know what else to try
[10:45] <Pie-rate> Anlar: laptop booted fine. so its just a problem with the system?
[10:45] <nickrooster> Brent_: Good luck! You should be fine
[10:45] <BaD_CrC> hmmm, i'm at a bit of a toss up... i wonder which toolkit i should build my moblock-deb gui under. gtk or qt or what...
[10:45] <Brent_> Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably be back!
[10:45] <preaction> sam123: try apt-cache stats <packagename>?
[10:46] <Anlar> Pie-rate: older systems have generally problems sometimes with booting from usb.. shouldn't but the bios emulation for the beginning of booting up can be buggy...
[10:46] <Pie-rate> Anlar: oh
[10:46] <captainm> SurfnKid: yup
[10:47] <disinterested> for lunch my iguanas get cantalope i get soup
[10:47] <ianmcorvidae> sam123: You want to open up a terminal and type 'sudo apt-cache stats'
[10:47] <osxdude|laptop> Oh no...the apt-get is locked to something else...and I can't do anything with synaptic... any help?
[10:47] <Pie-rate> Anlar: when i was talking about doing this someone mentioned using a floppy to make it boot from usb properly
[10:47] <ianmcorvidae> sam123: There is not currently a bot that will do that, however.
[10:47] <preaction> ianmcorvidae: you don't need sudo for apt-cache last i knew
[10:47] <ianmcorvidae> preaction: Ah. Never been sure.
[10:47] <BaD_CrC> apt-cache works fine w/o sudo
[10:47] <SurfnKid> captainm: I loaded cfdisk and Im following the screen steps, I chose new physical partition, and then type.. what do I chose for linux ext3?
[10:48] <SurfnKid> 82?
[10:48] <captainm> isn't there a command to see all the codes?
[10:48] <sam123> im still not told the information i need but i must go now
[10:49] <r0b-> webmin is being a pain
[10:49] <Film> my heart bleeds
[10:49] <r0b-> i cant connect to my vmware server of Ubuntu
[10:49] <BaD_CrC> webmin... *shudder*
[10:49] <kbrooks> hi everyone
[10:49] <SurfnKid> captainm: the closest i see is '82 Linux swap / Solaris' or '81 Minix / old linux'
[10:50] <SurfnKid> oh wait there's more
[10:50] <lui4> shalom peeps
[10:50] <Abhi123> how can i update and install apache2??

[10:50] <lui4> surfnkid :)
[10:50] <captainm> SurfnKid: I'm formatting my pendrive now ;)
[10:50] <Abhi123> apt-get update apache2 ??
[10:50] <napster_> hi. i have plugged my phone into my computer with a cable and now i need 2 know wat port it is on 4 multisync. how do i find out the port?
[10:50] <sdouble> sudo apt-get install apache2
[10:50] <SurfnKid> captainm: to linux ext3? what code did you use
[10:50] <Abhi123> once i update will it automatically install?
[10:51] <sdouble> funny, I just did it 5 minutes ago
[10:51] <Abhi123> sdouble, i already have apache.. now i want update the installation
[10:51] <captainm> SurfnKid: I'm checking it out now, normally I use fdisk (didn't even know cfdisk exists)
[10:51] <zaggynl> Anyone knows what to do against frequent usb resets? they are driving me insane
[10:51] <ANTDx1> does anybody here know anything about irssi?
[10:51] <sdouble> Abhi123: did you just install it?
[10:51] <Pie-rate> how would i make a script that runs as root when the system boots before X starts? i want to delete xorg.conf
[10:52] <Abhi123> sdouble, i have older version
[10:52] <Pie-rate> or replace xorg.conf with something very generic
[10:52] <Ranpha1> evertime i want to delete something with sshfs it denies acces . copy works only delete not. how can i fix this?
[10:52] <SurfnKid> well MrElendig threw in a hint. I was using Gparted, but it asks to set a label, 'msdos,amiga,bsd...'  I dont know what that is or what to chose
[10:52] <Abhi123> now i want to update that without overwriting the config files
[10:52] <osxdude|desktop> oh no...Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)...and no other synaptics are opened. Help?
[10:52] <sdouble> Abhi123: do you at least have 2?
[10:52] <napster_> so can any1 help me find out which port my fone is plyugged into?
[10:52] <Abhi123> sdouble, i have only 1
[10:52] <SurfnKid> captainm: and he suggested cfdisk which is a bit more handy, except it manages a lot of formats
[10:53] <SurfnKid> I chose 83
[10:53] <sdouble> hmmm, you should really do a fresh install since there will be different options and some older settings may no longer be valid

[10:56] <Drk_Guy> I use Puppylinux
[10:56] <napster_> sorry
[10:56] <SurfnKid> and with Gparted I formatted to ext3
[10:57] <captainm> SurfnKid: yup: mkfs.ext3 -O dir_index
[10:57] <napster_> so NewGuy: which port is it on?
[10:57] <neverblue> trying to get RealPlayer to stream music, how do I see which device realplayer is actually using?
[10:57] <napster_> i need the ttySx

[10:57] <SurfnKid> captainm: and where do you point to /dev/sdb at?

[10:59] <blubloblu> r0b-, try "w"
[10:59] <SurfnKid> captainm: ok its formatting now
[10:59] <r0b-> i want it to constantly check though
[10:59] <SurfnKid> captainm: yeah same here, and formatting is one that has to be concrete in me, but i hardly format anything these days

[11:00] <Drk_Guy> ...
[11:01] <blubloblu> r0b-, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. You could probably do it with a simple bash script
[11:01] <Drk_Guy> your device wasn't made to comply with Linux krnl?
[11:01] <Drk_Guy> Mybe
[11:01] <Drk_Guy> Idk

[11:02] <rizhun> is Ubuntu supposed to do a full fsck on EVERY boot ?
[11:02] <Pie-rate> no
[11:02] <rizhun> it takes ages.
[11:02] <captainm> SurfnKid: nice one, I'm not the best at this stuff so I'm glad it worked out
[11:02] <rizhun> Pie-rate: you know where something like that would be set?
[11:02] <SurfnKid> captainm: it did, thanks for the help
[11:02] <SurfnKid> MrElendig: thanks again :) its done
[11:02] <Pie-rate> nope, but mine doesn't. what's it say before it runs fsck?
[11:02] <Drk_Guy> rizhun, maybe messing up with boot-scripts
[11:03] <bronze--> I need some help with GRUB. I need to boot up linux using the GRUB terminal, because the menu is not "installed"/ set up. I have windows xp on sda1, linux on sda2. How can this be done?
[11:03] <tck> whats a good screen recorder to make vids in ubuntu?
[11:03] <SurfnKid> bbl
[11:03] <Drk_Guy> I only use static Ip, so i had to comment some lines to avoid checking for dchp at boot-up

[11:03] <blubloblu> I need somebody to explain how I can reset ALL my wireless networking settings and configuration to their defaults: ndiswrapper, drivers, /etc/interfaces...
[11:04] <und3rB3ar> mmmMMmm grubs
[11:04] <rizhun> it doesn't actually say anything. It just sits on the start-up splash screen for ages, then goes to a black screen saying it has successfully fsck'd all the disks
[11:04] <Ranpha1> When i mount a encrypted Hdd with sshfs i can't delete files. If i connect over ssh with buildin gnome app it works . What has to be extra in sshfs?
[11:04] <Drk_Guy> bronze?
[11:04] <Drk_Guy> you with me?
[11:04] <Pelo> blubloblu, off the top of my head I would suggest you look arounf for related .conf files and delete them
[11:04] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, remember me?
[11:05] <Pelo> Drk_Guy,  you smell familiar
[11:05] <Drk_Guy> Hahaha
[11:05] <Drk_Guy> The menu.lst
[11:05] <Pelo> Drk_Guy,  what can'T I help you with today
[11:05] <bronze--> Drk_Guy: yeah, but I don't know what to add to it.
[11:05] <Drk_Guy> Not so much, i moved on to PuppyLinux now
[11:05] <blubloblu> Pelo: is there anywhere that will provide default config files for ubuntu?
[11:05] <collin> I am having a problem with my display settings can anyone help
[11:05] <Pelo> Drk_Guy,  that's like going to a hospital and askign if they remember you because you were injured
[11:05] <bronze--> Drk_Guy: And I have to log on using chroot. Just a sec, finding my tutorial :)
[11:06] <Drk_Guy> bronze, i think this should help: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:06] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, LOL
[11:06] <neverblue> audio issues, can someone help, trying to get RealPlayer working
[11:06] <Drk_Guy> Bronze is having the same prob as the one you helped me out with
[11:06] <Pelo> blubloblu, not that I know of , but if you find the conf files related to those apps,  ndswrapper etc removing them will force them to create new ones which should be blank or at least default
[11:06] <neverblue> the audio is streaming in RealPlayer, but I hear nothing
[11:07] <blubloblu> Pelo: k thanks
[11:07] <collin> I can not change my screen resolution past 800x600
[11:07] <kr00lplatinum> Anyone know how to install kismet?
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, ldconfig should force Ubuntu to refresh, avoiding the need of blubloblu to re-boot
[11:07] <neverblue> sudo aptitude install kismet ?
[11:07] <joshritger> can someone tell if there is a good software title for syncing two drives. I have tried unison and it didn't work to great
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> kr00l, you ran it from terminal?
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> neverblue, he already has it
[11:07] <Pelo> collin,  you need to edit the xorg.conf file to add the extra resolutions manual,    gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> He doesn't know how to configure it
[11:08] <Pelo> blubloblu,  did you get that ?
[11:08] <Sch0rSch> hello together
[11:08] <neverblue> install/configure are two different things
[11:08] <Drk_Guy> Collin, i advice you to make a backup
[11:08] <bronze--> Drk_Guy: who helped you with this problem?
[11:08] <Drk_Guy> Pelo helped me out
[11:09] <sdouble> Pelo: good tip, I forgot all about that movie
[11:09] <blubloblu> Pelo, yeah, I'll try that soon. LiveCDing is the only way to use internet at the moment. I messed up my settings because I thought the driver was buggy, turns out I was in a spot of my house with patchy Wifi coverage! ;)

[11:18] <collin> where is the forum?

[11:23] <sebastian__> i mean, if i reboot, the conection loses
[11:23] <Sergo> o:-)
[11:23] <chuk> ati X1250
[11:23] <neverblue> all video cards have a generic driver
[11:23] <chuk> 609G chipset
[11:23] <MrElendig> chuk: alternat cd
[11:23] <neverblue> chuk use ati
[11:23] <sebastian__> i can only do a ping to the same pc
[11:23] <shurbann> hi ubuntu
[11:23] <neverblue> sebastian__, port scan it?
[11:23] <sebastian__> it has a static ip
[11:23] <shurbann> where can I found out if an known bug was solved?
[11:24] <neverblue> shurbann, google
[11:24] <chuk> never, how can I tell it to use ATI driver?
[11:24] <chuk> during the install
[11:24] <chuk> when booting from the live CD
[11:24] <Pricey> !bugs | shurbann
[11:24] <ubotu> shurbann: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[11:24] <Pricey> shurbann, launchpad is the ubuntu bug tracker, you'll find it there :)
[11:24] <neverblue> chuk, setup your xorg.conf to use the ati driver
[11:24] <sdouble> chuk: I overcame my issue by installing with the alternate cd rather than the livecd
[11:24] <shurbann> neverblue, uhmm that is a very general answer for everything I guess..
[11:24] <chuk> its this motherboard for what its worth:  http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=789&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=46&LanID=9
[11:25] <neverblue> you can use lspci to list the 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[11:25] <chuk> sdouble, then how did you install the driver after?
[11:25] <sdouble> shurbann: it depends on the program and the bug.  So google is the best answer you could have gotten without more details
[11:25] <neverblue> that will show up in the xorg.conf as located at 0:2:0
[11:25] <neverblue> shurbann, it will work for your situation
[11:25] <chuk> never, how can I setup the xorg.conf if I get get it installed?
[11:25] <sebastian__> neverblue: the port scan for port 80 says connection refused
[11:25] <chuk> can't get
[11:25] <banlieue> what's the moment nautilus chooses in video files for the image previewing? and more importantly, can I change the setting?
[11:25] <sebastian__> i scanned the local ip
[11:26] <neverblue> chuk, I thought you wanted to setup the xorg.conf BEFORE you install
[11:26] <akos>  /j #aaa
[11:26] <neverblue> so you can get your desktop up, with the Live CD
[11:26] <chuk> all I have is a blank hard drive and the install CD
[11:26] <chuk> and I can't get anywhere...
[11:26] <shurbann> Pricey, oh yeah I remember launchpad now. Thanks, cause I'm wondring if the int10 bug issue (nvidia driver) is resolved.
[11:26] <neverblue> chuk, your point?
[11:26] <sdouble> chuk: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
[11:26] <chuk> I think I must be missing something
[11:26] <neverblue> chuk, insert CD, turn on system
[11:26] <Pricey> shurbann, binary nvidia?
[11:26] <sdouble> also, don't use the livecd.  Get the alternate cd
[11:27] <neverblue> there, thats your starting point
[11:27] <chuk> got it sdouble
[11:27] <chuk> right, when I do that, I get "no valid screens"
[11:27] <neverblue> chuk, live CD is fine
[11:27] <chuk> during the install
[11:27] <neverblue> chuk, thats why you edit your xorg.conf
[11:27] <sebastian__> i really dont know what could be grong.. i triple checked everything
[11:27] <plagerism> Who here is very familiar with the network-manager?  I would like to be able to configure a virtual interface with it.  How would I go about doing that?
[11:27] <sebastian__> the network just works sometimes
[11:27] <chuk> sorry for being thick, but where is "my" xorg.conf
[11:27] <chuk> if it hasn't been installed
[11:28] <sdouble> install with the alternate cd
[11:28] <shurbann> Pricey, uhm it wasn't clear if it was a nvidia driver bug or a kernel issue. Bt i couldnt use dual screen. It was filed on launchpad.
[11:28] <neverblue> sebastian__, your whole definition of 'network' is probably different everytime you say it
[11:28] <Pricey> chuk, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:28] <sdouble> take your livecd and break it in half
[11:28] <chuk> ha, will do
[11:28] <sebastian__> mmm
[11:28] <sebastian__> internet connection
[11:28] <neverblue> chuk, the Live CD, writes to RAM
[11:28] <Pricey> shurbann, well good luck... its closed source'edness doesn't bode well for its fixing :)
[11:28] <sebastian__> the eth0 interface seems to be ok
[11:28] <sebastian__> actually it works sometimes
[11:28] <shurbann> so I'm gonna take a look now if I can find it and see if it is solved
[11:28] <neverblue> your OS is located in your RAM, so you can do the install
[11:28] <chuk> it wouldn't let me save the file
[11:28] <chuk> is there a default root password?
[11:28] <neverblue> chuk, sudo?
[11:28] <sdouble> then download and burn the alternate cd.  install with that.  Then follow the instructions at that link to update your drivers
[11:29] <chuk> wasn't sure if that was gonna ask me for a password
[11:29] <chuk> when I sudo'd
[11:29] <neverblue> chuk, think you really need to do some reading
[11:29] <shurbann> Pricey, but the drivers didnt changed. In the version previous then 7.10 it worked like a charm.
[11:29] <Pricey> shurbann, there is no 7.10
[11:29] <sdouble> livecd boots up as "ubuntu" user and there is no root/password
[11:29] <shurbann> I mean 7.04
[11:29] <osxdude|laptop> at least not yet
[11:30] <Pricey> sdouble, there is root, if you use sudo
[11:30] <MTecknology> I'm using this /mnt/mantis/backups/DB_$(date "+%m_%d_%y").bak    in a script. Is there any way to use a variable in the directory name? like this   /mnt/mantis/backups/%1/DB_$(date "+%m_%d_%y").bak
[11:30] <r0b-> why is ubuntu 7.10 gonna be called gutsy
[11:30] <sebastian__> ok... i have the ubuntu 7.4 server version... my ethernet works fine sometimes... i dont know why... everything looks ok, but sometimes i can ping to say google.com and sometimes no... when its working and i reboot, it gets screwed
[11:30] <Pricey> r0b-, because sabdfl said so.
[11:30] <collin> I can not figure out how to change my monitor resolution
[11:30] <sdouble> Pricey: when booting the live cd, what's the password for sudo?
[11:30] <r0b-> :|
[11:30] <shurbann> Pricey, so if the drivers didnt change then the only reason it could break down if 7.04 introduced something that is not working with the drivers
[11:30] <Pricey> sdouble, there is none
[11:30] <MTecknology> gusty what?
[11:30] <Pricey> MTecknology, gutsy gibbon
[11:30] <blubloblu> r0b-, it's the codename for development like 7.04 was code-named Feisty-Fawn
[11:31] <Pricey> shurbann, I haven't a clue... sorry.
[11:31] <kkathman> r0b-: cuz gooey didnt sound good ?
[11:31] <MTecknology> what's a gibbon?
[11:31] <collin> would anyone be willing to log on to my remote desktop and take a look
[11:31] <Pricey> MTecknology, google image it ;)
[11:31] <blubloblu> MTecknology, a type of monkey
[11:31] <chuk> gibbon = ape
[11:31] <kkathman> gibbon - ape
[11:31] <shurbann> np... I'm just gonna take alook
[11:31] <blubloblu> collin, be careful!
[11:31] <chuk> gibbon - ape = ?
[11:31] <collin> I need help

[11:31] <nickrud> sebastian__, have you checked it's route when it fails? (just something I had issues with once)
[11:31] <sdouble> Pricey: that was my point.  He was asking about the root password and neverblue told him to use sudo so I combined the two in the answer.  "no root/password"
[11:31] <sdouble> Thank you though.
[11:32] <alexIdoia> hi I am writting in differente languages and I found the solution of going from one keybard layout to the other slowing me down, I only need a few chars so I was thinking putting them on functions keys, how can I do this
[11:32] <Pricey> sdouble, ah gotcha, sorry :)
[11:32] <kshahnjd> the server guide tells me to add lines to /etc/network/interfaces
[11:32] <Pricey> !away > voidmage-away
[11:32] <kshahnjd> what is the editor command?
[11:32] <sdouble> no problem, I just didn't want him to get confused.
[11:32] <kshahnjd> do i have to use something like vi?
[11:32] <nickrud> kshahnjd, nano is easiest
[11:32] <kkathman> after gutsy - are they skipping "H" cuz they already had hoary ??
[11:32] <chuk> oh, I'm confused all right...
[11:32] <kshahnjd> thamks
[11:32] <alexIdoia> so that when I push a function key it is like if I pushed a special key in another layout ?
[11:32] <Pricey> kshahnjd, you could use gedit, vi, nano, w/e
[11:32] <alexIdoia> I guess I would need to set a special keyboard layout ?

[11:33] <kkathman> blah blah
[11:33] <BlackDesign> could anyone tell me how I can get the main menu transparent?
[11:34] <sdouble> chuk: there is more to it than just editting your xorg.conf file.  You have to edit it as well as install the drivers and enable them
[11:34] <chuk> right
[11:34] <captainm> BlackDesign: I don't think that's possible with gnome (at least not without additional software)
[11:34] <chuk> well, off to the alternate cd
[11:34] <r0b-> where do the ubuntu free CDs shit from?
[11:34] <blubloblu> BlackDesign, you'd probably need something like Beryl or Compiz
[11:34] <adfa> [00:32:11]  <adfa> Hi, i got replaced my nvidia card with asus, now x-server faild.
[11:34] <adfa> [00:32:20]  <adfa> what should i do ?
[11:34] <BlackDesign> I have beryl
[11:34] <blubloblu> r0b-, ship?
[11:34] <BlackDesign> but don't seem to find the option there

[11:35] <r0b-> the Ship It

[11:35] <blubloblu> r0b-, i'm in ireland and I got mine from Switzerland
[11:35] <neverblue> audio issues, can someone help, trying to get RealPlayer working :: the audio is streaming in RealPlayer, but I hear nothing
[11:35] <r0b-> im from the USA
[11:35] <sdouble> adfa: asus is not a chipset.  Did you replace your nvidia card with another nvidia?
[11:35] <banlieue> what's the moment nautilus chooses in video files for the image previewing? and more importantly, can I change the setting?
[11:35] <PurpZeY_> Are RARs supported by archive manager?
[11:35] <BlackDesign> blubloblu, is it possible with Beryl?
[11:36] <LucianIndy> how would i go about installing ubuntu on my thumbdrive
[11:36] <adfa> i replaced my video card to ASUS
[11:36] <blubloblu> BlackDesign, i don't know, ask someone who knows more about it. I'd imagine it is
[11:36] <Madpilot> banlieue, it seems to be the mid-point of the file - but not always...
[11:36] <r0b-> and the nearest group to me is in ann arbor
[11:36] <sdouble> no, you replaced your existing card with an asus brand card.  but is it an nvidia chipset?
[11:36] <captainm> LucianIndy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[11:36] <banlieue> Madpilot: it doesn't seem to make utter sense
[11:36] <unix4me> does anyone know of a free isp?

[11:37] <BlackDesign> ok will do
[11:37] <neverblue> PurpZeY, sudo aptitude install unrar
[11:37] <BlackDesign> thx unix4me
[11:37] <adfa> i have to restart then:X (im throu xp now)

[11:37] <unix4me> does anyone know of a free isp?
[11:38] <unix4me> :S
[11:38] <PurpZeY> neverblue: That easier then setting up archive manager to do it?
[11:38] <unix4me> i know they have them in brazil....
[11:38] <peeps> is anyone using a svn gui that they would recommend?
[11:38] <BlackDesign> captainm, Thx, will try those
[11:38] <Pricey> unix4me, offtopic
[11:38] <Madpilot> PurpZeY, installing unrar should get the archive manager talking to rars
[11:38] <tarzeau> peeps: i would wipe out all SVN software if i could
[11:38] <collin> Can anyone help me with a screen resolution problem
[11:38] <adfa> brb then.
[11:38] <neverblue> PurpZeY, yes
[11:38] <unix4me> collin: i think  it's under system>admin>display or monitor or something like that
[11:38] <peeps> tarzeau, ? what's wrong with svn?
[11:39] <sayers> Does amd64 have the suspend feature?
[11:39] <Quiznos> hi
[11:39] <Quiznos> any Brits present for OT query?
[11:39] <neverblue> PurpZeY, I use the archive man. to extract, then unrar can piece it all back together

[11:42] <tarzeau> peeps: yes
[11:42] <Desolator> hi. can I upgrade to 6.10 with the desktop CD?
[11:42] <tarzeau> peeps: and i know a few other software developers without svn/cvs...
[11:42] <sdouble> svn is awesome for java.  But setting it up made me cry a little
[11:42] <tarzeau> peeps: so you think someone can't develop software without those version control systems?
[11:43] <peeps> tarzeau, they can, it's just not very smart, if they need to track revisions
[11:43] <make420> i want a spades game :)
[11:43] <Desolator> can i upgrade to edgy using a desktop cd?
[11:43] <make420> hehe
[11:43] <my_key> can someone tell me if it's an easy upgrade from dapper to feisty? or do i need to upgrade to edgy first?
[11:43] <tarzeau> peeps: one can track revisions perfectly fine without cvs/svn...
[11:43] <Desolator> yeah u need
[11:43] <tarzeau> peeps: and it has nothing to do with smart or not
[11:43] <kshahnjd> after I configure static ip in network/interfaces
[11:44] <kshahnjd> how do i restart?
[11:44] <tarzeau> peeps: or how they do is smart or not
[11:44] <kshahnjd> rather, turn off and on eth0
[11:44] <kshahnjd> to grab the new ip
[11:44] <crolle17> does somebody know which lib to install for running divX5-files?
[11:44] <sdouble> kshahnjd: I'm not sure, but would pump work for that as well?
[11:44] <kshahnjd> pump?
[11:44] <kshahnjd> i just need to refresh my ip, i don't know how
[11:45] <Desolator> can anyone tell me if I can upgrade from dapper to edgy using the desktop cd?
[11:45] <Emilius> Does anyone know of a way to reverse stereo channels?
[11:45] <collin> what should I set the horizontal sync rate as
[11:45] <Madsy> Desolator: Have you allready installed dapper?
[11:45] <Desolator> yes
[11:45] <make420> be one with the monitor specs
[11:46] <Madsy> Then you don't even need a CD.
[11:46] <make420> :)
[11:46] <sdouble> pump doesn't come packaged anyway
[11:46] <collin> anyone?
[11:46] <sdouble> 60hz
[11:46] <my_key> Desolator, you can insert the edgy cd in dapper and the update manager will prompt you to upgrade...
[11:47] <Desolator> well if I upgrade using the manager it says there's not enough space... there's 733 free and 1.5 GB on the win partition
[11:47] <zocky> i know this isn't the right place to report a bug, but it's a bug that's particularly annoying in xchat: tooltips should disappear when the user starts typing. otherwise e.g. taskbar tooltips cover the input line in xchat
[11:47] <Desolator> my_key: it'd be nice if it won't wait 3 years to load the kernel
[11:47] <Madpilot> zocky, launchpad.net is the right place for bug reports
[11:47] <make420> 60hz is vert ... horiz would be in the 15 to 60khz range ... all depends on the specs for that specific monitor
[11:47] <kshahnjd> how do i renew my IP at the command line?
[11:47] <Desolator> i'll try again though
[11:47] <Pricey> kshahnjd, sudo dhclient <interface>
[11:47] <adfa> bahh i can't remmber the nick for that one who tried help me, but the chip is NVIDIA and the card is ASUS
[11:47] <fsckr> what is ubuntus default font dir?
[11:48] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, sudo ifdown <interface> && sudo ifup <interface>
[11:48] <kshahnjd> says eth0 is not configured if I do that
[11:48] <Madpilot> fsckr, for user fonts, ~/.fonts
[11:48] <kshahnjd> i just edited /network/interfaces to make it a static ip
[11:49] <fsckr> ty Madpilot
[11:49] <kshahnjd> maybe i'm missing a step
[11:49] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, copy and paste the entire line

[11:50] <Madpilot> fsckr, odd - just create it, then

[11:50] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, so, what interface did you change?
[11:51] <sebastian__> it takes some time
[11:51] <kshahnjd> i changed eth0 to statuc
[11:51] <kshahnjd> *static
[11:51] <chuk> then use this:
[11:51] <chuk> http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[11:51] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, ah.

[11:58] <make420> trippndarift: yes check out art.gnome.org

[11:58] <adfa> bah... its not possible run xchat without xserver right?:X
[11:59] <Brent_> I installed Ubuntu to an external USB hard drive. I then proceeded to restart the system. When Grub comes up, I select Ubuntu to run, but then it says that there is no such partition. When I try to select Windows, it says NTLDR is Missing
[11:59] <kshahnjd> kbrooks: thats all
[11:59] <kshahnjd> i did
[11:59] <kbrooks> adfa, yeah
[11:59] <Desolator> can anyone tell me how to get rid of xorg-driver-fglrx?
[11:59] <MajorPayne> adfa: irssi is a good client that you can use if you don't have the xserver running.
[11:59] <kbrooks> adfa, you can run irssi
[11:59] <adfa> anyway.. run the /etc/init.d/?dm restart -> didn't work the same error after startx
[11:59] <Desolator> can anyone tell me how to get rid of xorg-driver-fglrx?
[11:59] <adfa> the error is: no screens found
[12:00] <dsgsdg> Brent_: You need ntldr to run windows, don't delete it
[12:00] <make420> Desolator: yes open /etc/X11/xorg.conf with nano and add a # at the start of that line save and exit
[12:00] <Brent_> I didn't. When my external drive(where Ubuntu is installed) is not plugged in, Windows boots up as normal
[12:00] <Brent_> When the external is plugged in, it goes to Grub, but nothing works there
