[19:12] <n00b> but I get the same message
[19:12] <ompaul> ankur, no it is not - you are just not used to it
[19:12] <kml> hello

[19:13] <ankur> yap i think so
[19:13] <nishiishii> Oh
[19:13] <jimjam> Thanks ompaul.
[19:13] <n00b> but..what I mean is that it wont check
[19:13] <n00b> for me
[19:13] <Lifeisfunny> ankur, it's easy really, it does take some time to understand and get use to

[19:13] <n00b> ok

[19:14] <ankur> ok
[19:15] <jals> is there any way to limit the width of maximized windows?
[19:15] <erUSUL> ompaul: maybe n00b needs the deb-src repo?... (for some extrange reason i can't phanthom)
[19:15] <soundray> adelie: the best documentation is in the bash-doc package. Install it and read 'info bash'
[19:15] <Lifeisfunny> ankur, and if not, try some wikis.  they can be helpful
 i need help in using putty?
[19:15] <javaJake> ankur, the best way to create "restore" points would be packups

[19:16] <Lifeisfunny> ankur, you might want to ask someone else, I've never had the need to learn putty
[19:16] <erUSUL> {127: edit fstab and put ntfs instead of ntfs-3g
[19:16] <javaJake> ankur, I've also used PuTTY. :)
[19:16] <ompaul> ankur, putty is a windows program - please ask in ##windows or search the net it is not core to ubuntu so we really can't support it
[19:16] <soundray> ompaul: putty is available for Linux

[19:17] <Twey> Or man bash
[19:17] <javaJake> ankur, OK, are you on the same local network as your server?
[19:17] <Pici> adelie: use the syntax `help read`
[19:17] <Profanephobia> Can Someone here help me connect my Sony Ericsson GC83 to AT&T's EDGE network?
i need to explain my network

[19:21] <{127> mount -o ro -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 complains about fuse. i do not see why the non--3g-version of the ntfs driver would need fuse
 i use internet from lan. my lan connection is connected through a proxy server .that is also in local network and that proxy server connected the main server from where i get internet facility. i cant use putty from my lan
[19:21] <soundray> {127: what's the complaint?
[19:22] <excitatory> so i'm attempting to setup dual displays..  on a fresh gutsy install, xrandr reports both of my monitors with accurate details.  after i install the restricted ati driver, xrandr only reports one screen.. is this normal?  should i use the free driver?  is there a good guide for this?
 what is the main peoblem?
 u understand my network?
[19:22] <javaJake> ankur, OK, so are you trying to get to another computer elsewhere on the internet, or to a computer in the same LAN as you?
[19:22] <javaJake> ankur, kind of
[19:23] <CarlFK> pici  ::  worked.  turns out the server wasn't on the port I thought it was.    thanks
[19:23] <musashi1>  is there anyway to know if qwest blocks incoming traffic on specific ports - namely port 443 - other than just asking them (i wonder if they will even answer that)
i m trying to get to another computer elsewhere on the internet,
[19:24] <pat69a> :-(
but from lan i cant do that?
[19:25] <adelie> ok, after trying the various suggestions, man bash followed by '/' and using `read' for the search paramater. the word read otherwise showed up several MANY times in the document. help gave information about read command, but not arguments to. Thanks for help all
 what kind of problem is it?
[19:25] <soundray> adelie: not man bash -- info bash
[19:25] <musashi1> ankur: i didn't catch the whole story but putty can use a local proxy.
[19:25] <soundray> adelie: lookup builtins rather than read
[19:25] <javaJake> ankur, OK, so it isn't your network
[19:25] <akang> how can I tell the ppp connection uptime ?
[19:26] <soundray> adelie: http://www.ss64.com/bash/read.html might help, too
 no
[19:26] <javaJake> ankur, instead you need to configure PuTTY for your proxy.
[19:26] <{127> isoundray: t works when i have loaded the fuse module, but it does not give me the intendet driver.
[19:26] <mjbrooks> my laptop seems to randomly die and reboot itself :/ There doesn't seem to be anything in the logs... does that mean it's some sort of kernel panic that's going on?
[19:26] <{127> mount shows the system as "type fuseblk"

[19:39] <Profanephobia> soundray, oh :D might want to do that huh.. is it in init.d you think?
[19:39] <soundray> Profanephobia: not sure. If not, do a /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:39] <jf> Ok, i686 is the only thing I see. That means 32, right?

[19:40] <HashBox> mjbrooks: are you sure it isn't overheating?

[19:41] <sanguisdex> I just install apachee using the package manager, when files are edited or created by apachee the files are own and in the group "www-data" how ever when I went to add my self to that group it did not exist.  how can I make it so my user can access these files w/o the SU access?
[19:41] <mjbrooks> HashBox, I don't believe it is
[19:41] <VSpike> soundray: yeah lsusb does the job, I agree
[19:41] <soundray> mjbrooks: prime candidate for such problems is bad RAM. Run memtest86 until it throws errors; if it doesn't, run it overnight.
[19:42] <mjbrooks> soundray, I'll do that thanks
[19:42] <soundray> VSpike: but it's clearly a bug. You might consider reporting it on launchpad.

[19:53] <h1st0_> Looking for ideas system is hard locking anytime I'm in X and I switch to a tty.  Or if I log out of my session it won't return to TTY just hangs.  I've checked logs but nothing is showing since the system just hangs.  Anyone know how I can troule shoot this.  I know its not hardware as the system worked fine with feisty.
[19:53] <adelie> thanks
[19:53] <Azrael24> hi guys...quick question, what version of LInux does 7.10/GG run off?
[19:53] <jac0b-work> can anyone recommend a linux compatible print server
[19:54] <Pici> Azrael24: if you mean the kernel, its 2.6.22-14
[19:54] <soundray> h1st0_: annoying. fglrx by any chance?
[19:54] <genii> Azrael24: what Pici said
[19:54] <jodie> can somebody help me set up stunnel please?
[19:54] <h1st0_> soundray: no its a sis card s3 savage
[19:54] <zippytech> what does the UUID=XXXXXXX.... mean in the fstab
[19:54] <Pici> !uuid | zippytech
[19:54] <ubotu> zippytech: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[19:54] <Azrael24> 2.6....great, thanks, trying to create a virutal drive for it on VirutalBox...I love it!
[19:54] <cypher123> hi there, i have a strange problem: all file associations are gone. i can't open any files, because gnome forgot with which progam it should be opened. is there a way to recover those associations?
[19:55] <soundray> h1st0_: oh, since when is sis=s3?
[19:55] <LiMaO> Azrael24: virutal? don't you mean virtual??
[19:55] <soundray> h1st0_: does it happen when you use the vesa driver?
[19:55] <h1st0_> soundray: my bad I thought they were the same.
[19:55] <kn4rF> does anyone know how to modify gconf-editor parameters directly from terminal?
[19:55] <zippytech> cool thanks
[19:55] <dinop007> hi all... how do i add smile to pidgin?
[19:55] <h1st0_> soundray: I haven't tried that. Let me check the xorg.conf and see if that will work.
[19:56] <soundray> h1sto_: it's possible that they are, I might have missed the news.
[19:56] <h1st0_> soundray: actually it is using the vesa driver now.
[19:56] <dinop007> how do i add smile to pidgin
[19:56] <jodie> can somebody help me set up stunnel please?
[19:56] <h1st0_> soundray: should I try a specific savage driver?
[19:56] <soundray> h1st0_: sec
[19:57] <Azrael24> virtualbox.org
[19:57] <Zaehlas> soundray, one last question, I think the upgrade may have completed, when I now run apt-get dist-upgrade it says no new releases.  When I run the do-release-upgrade it says no new releases.  And when I run apt-get update/upgrade it reads all the package lists properly, and says no new packages.  Is there any way to have it reverify my existing packages, to check all of them for possible errors?
[19:57] <h1st0_> soundray: I know i'm using the savagefb driver for tty but that doesn't make a difference if I turn it on or off.
[19:57] <Azrael24> tried vmware, bleh
[19:57] <Azrael24> wanted to run Ubuntu within XP, and run XP within Ubuntu (work and home)
[19:57] <Chuckles> where is init.d?
[19:57] <h1st0_> Chuckles: /etc
[19:58] <cypher123> hi there, i have a strange problem: all file associations are gone. i can't open any files, because gnome forgot with which progam it should be opened. is there a way to recover those associations?
[19:58] <h1st0_> Azrael24: check out virtualbox
[19:58] <Chuckles> is it hidden i dont see it :/
[19:58] <dinop007> how do i add smile to pidgin
[19:58] <Azrael24> I typed that, h1st0...I suggested it  ;]
[19:58] <Azrael24> oh I see..it's your response to wmware
[19:58] <Azrael24> vmware...totally agree, virtualbox is the way to go
[19:59] <zippytech> i rebooted my machine and now it want maintence mode, i tryr to run fsck and it says device or resource busy
[19:59] <zippytech> any ideas
[19:59] <h1st0_> Chuckles: its there.
[19:59] <soundray> h1st0_: man savage may help (from the package xserver-xorg-video-savage)
[19:59] <h1st0_> /etc/init.d
[19:59] <Shadow147> it would help if I pointed the vars file to the right perl location
[19:59] <Zaehlas> Chuckles, if you're using the graphical file browser, start from "File System" on the left, etc should be there, shouldn't be hidden.
[19:59] <boris_> how do i blacklist modules ?
[19:59] <h1st0_> soundray: I'll give it a try and see don't have much to lose at this point.
[19:59] <Chuckles> ls -l init.d in terminal shows nothing
[19:59] <h1st0_> boris_: add them to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[19:59] <dinop007> how do i add smile to pidgin
[19:59] <dinop007> how do i add smile to pidgin
[19:59] <zippytech> filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program
[20:00] <h1st0_> Chuckles: ls -l /etc/init.d
[20:00] <h1st0_> Chuckles: or locate init.d
[20:00] <Chuckles> ls -l init.d

[20:02] <vnese> Hi, how can i get kool fonts suitable for programming like Consolas in Ubuntu ?
[20:03] <Chuckles> is it ok to use apt-get or should i always use add/remove apps?
[20:03] <wallsp> Pici: its an LCD, not NASA rocket
[20:03] <soundray> Chuckles: they are totally exchangeable
[20:03] <shbla99> wallsp: live distro suck. install it
[20:03] <wallsp> how to make ubuntu to show something usable in liecd?
[20:03] <wallsp> shbla99: can't - the LCD do not work
[20:03] <Pici> wallsp: There is only limited space on the LiveCD, not every driver can exist there.
[20:03] <shbla99> wallsp: live distro = linux recovery

[20:04] <Chuckles> ty!
[20:04] <Pici> wallsp: Its most likely the video card thats causing issues.
[20:04] <genii> Chuckles: You should be able to use either way, as you like. but on occasion the apt-get way does a better job
[20:04] <wallsp> sigh this sucks
[20:04] <Pici> wallsp: Do you know what model you have?
[20:04] <wallsp> well I will try
[20:05] <Chuckles> thanks.  1st thing i want on my new ubuntu install is to be able to ssh from work so i can practice in console :)
[20:05] <h1st0_> soundray: That seemed to work now.  Using the savage drive.  I also noticed there is an option in there to usefbdev true in the video card section of the Xorg.conf
[20:05] <shbla99> wallsp: try the text mode installer
[20:05] <fuller_> ciao
[20:05] <shbla99> unless u wanna edit xorg.conf

[20:07] <Chuckles> how do i make it so when i ssh to myself it doesnt ask for root password but instead a username?
[20:07] <bjames> RoyK Ctrl + Alt + left/right
[20:07] <shbla99> whats a good binary newsreader that supports SSL?
[20:07] <RoyK> Pici: I have, but I don't get the cubic view
[20:07] <bjames> RoyK: or Ctrl + Alt + drag mouse
[20:07] <Shadow147> hmm I wonder why kegs is not compiling now it did before
[20:07] <Pici> RoyK: you installed compizconfig-settings-manager?

[20:08] <zippytech> it's a second drive i use for files
[20:08] <Chuckles> genii: can i make it so if someone ssh to my ip it doesnt ask for root and should only expect a username?
[20:08] <RoyK> Pici: I was just wondering which ones
[20:08] <Chuckles> this forum is going to make me so lazy
[20:08] <bjames> is there a log somewhere of what applications I have installed and when?
[20:08] <genii> Chuckles: It asks for whatever name they tried
[20:09] <h1st0_> soundray: Its doing some wierd things when seting the resolution in the Xorg.log
[20:09] <Chuckles> but just "ssh ip" asks for root pw
[20:09] <Pici> RoyK: I dont know off the top of my head, the folks in #compiz-fusion should know.
[20:09] <h1st0_> soundray: but it gets in to X faster with the fbdev gone
[20:09] <mathen> Can I force my desktop to higher resolution then what rightclicking will give me, somehow? :P
[20:09] <vile_maxim> the-killer: a wysiwyg editor?
[20:09] <Chuckles> can i disable root login?
[20:09] <genii> Chuckles: if right now it is asking you for root, that means the system you are sshing from is logged in as username root
[20:09] <Pici> Chuckles: it asks for the password for the username that you are currently using.
[20:09] <Chuckles> oh cuz i'm root in the console... i see
[20:10] <Pici> Chuckles: Whether or not that username exists or not.
[20:10] <genii> Chuckles: Exactly
[20:10] <the-killer> vile_maxim: i want to build a web pages .html .php ...

[20:21] <astevens> The_Machine: it was to make the guy who founded it feel cooler than the guy who founded myspace.
[20:21] <offipso> the_machine: facebook's usefulness is directly proportional to the number of friends you have
[20:21] <The_Machine> offipso, that makes sense
[20:21] <astevens> windows people need something to do since all their systems are good for is surfing the web ;)
[20:21] <semba> This seems like a repetition of Bug #78288, but the newer kernel versions suggested don't change anything. :-(
[20:21] <The_Machine> i just signed up on it because my cousin is on there
[20:21] <offipso> the_machine: aka it's not useful at all
[20:21] <The_Machine> and i thought he would update his life, etc. on some msg board
[20:21] <offipso> I have no friends.
[20:21] <The_Machine> aka myspace
[20:22] <The_Machine> and i'm like..  WTF is the purpose of this?
[20:22] <The_Machine> sure, "social networking"
[20:22] <astevens> linkedin.com is simular and i think is more useful for business
[20:22] <offipso> well, that would be a good reason to ask
[20:22] <The_Machine> but it feels retarded.
[20:22] <R3B3LX> newb question for u guys... i think... ummm my printer is not working.. i try to print something but after like 5minutes it says stopped
[20:22] <Pici> !offtopic | The_Machine
[20:22] <ubotu> The_Machine: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[20:22] <The_Machine> oh, sorry
[20:22] <The_Machine> heh
[20:22] <daxroc> what has myspace got to do with ubuntu
[20:22] <mandani> kane77, is there a way to add or restart the windows manager
[20:22] <kane77> that's OT for at least two screens :/
[20:22] <piko> yayayaya
[20:22] <astevens> thanks for the reminder Pici ;)
[20:22] <Pici> :)
[20:23] <daxroc> IMHO ubuntu is a bad introduction to linux
[20:23] <krammer> why do u say that
[20:23] <jac0b-work> daxroc: why do you think that
[20:23] <R3B3LX> any ideas? i mean its all plugged it but it just doesnt print.. ive installed it
[20:23] <Odd-rationale> daxroc: What would you reccomend?
[20:23] <daxroc> well its has its good points but its very lazy way to introduce people to linux
[20:24] <Chuckles> why daxroc?
[20:24] <kane77> astevens, I don't know if that was only trying to cause flame, but I'd have to disagree.. I'm ubuntu person, I love it, enjoy it, and use it as much as I can. however I'm not able to do video editing the way I can with Adobe Premiere/After Effects/Photoshop.
[20:24] <R3B3LX> !print
[20:24] <kazol> Is the default Ubuntu account administrator? (that has a lower level than root)?
[20:24] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[20:24] <Chuckles> Ubuntu has the easy install ever...
[20:24] <astevens> daxroc: you could learn more from installing gentoo or something, thats true, but if you want linux that just works and has a lot going for it, I would say you would be hard pressed to beat ubuntu
[20:24] <Chuckles> *easiest
[20:24] <Pici> kazol: The default account has sudo access.
[20:24] <krammer> daxroc this may help there are 6 to 12 million users now using ubuntu
[20:24] <Pici> !sudo | kazol
[20:24] <ubotu> kazol: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[20:24] <kazol> Pici: I know that, but what's the default account type? administrator?
[20:25] <Goong> hello, does anyone know how to make ubuntu automatically switch to a dial up connection if your broadband internet connections fails?
[20:25] <daxroc> Its not easy to trac source its alot more comlicated and the package naming scheme could follow the actual software name a little closer no ?
[20:25] <jac0b-work> I disagree I think ubuntu is a good intro to linux
[20:25] <offipso> kazol: There's no 'administrator' user, but there is a superuser called root
[20:25] <Pici> kazol: It has no more user rights without using sudo than any other account does.
[20:25] <Chuckles> i'm using someone's nick :o
[20:25] <astevens> ubuntu will give any commerical GUI OS a run for the money. Im adeveloper at www.caoslinux.com and while we have a lightweight hpc (no gui) distro, for a gui, ubuntu is top choice.
[20:25] <kane77> kazol, it is user account with sudo permissions...
[20:25] <Odd-rationale> daxroc: What do you reccommend? Just curious...
[20:25] <krammer> Goong u have to manual configur
[20:25] <kazol> kane77: Is there a specific name for that?
[20:26] <Goong> Krammer do you think a script could do it?
[20:26] <daxroc> Odd-rationale: in what regard ?
[20:26] <Odd-rationale> daxroc: A good introduction to linux?
[20:26] <krammer> yes
[20:27] <kazol> Pici, offipso: Why is it necessary to switch to superuser each time? Is it 1. to prevent accidental sys file deletion and 2. prevent malware?
[20:27] <astevens> daxroc: does the aids quilt style of patching a kernel red had does better? or does suse and their yeasty yast make sense to you? remember apples and oranges.
[20:27] <jac0b-work> kazol: 1
[20:27] <kane77> kazol, don't know.. what about "sudoer" ?
[20:27] <Marcusklaas> su = r00t
[20:27] <Pici> kazol: read this link it makes a good argument:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:27] <kazol> jac0b-work: Just because of that??
[20:27] <jac0b-work> kazol: yeah basiclly
[20:27] <eclipse__> is there anything out there like fs-driver for vista?
[20:28] <kazol> That's kind of pointless.
[20:28] <kazol> I'd rather have it on permanently.
[20:28] <Pici> kazol: Did you read that link? Its not only for accidental usage, its for security.
[20:28] <jac0b-work> kazol: that is frowned upon
[20:28] <offipso> kazol: perhaps sudo -s will help. It puts you in a root shell
[20:28] <kazol> Pici: Oh, ok.
[20:28] <jimcooncat> I'm so used to sudo it just rolls off the fingers
[20:28] <dd> every nick is owned by someone else :(
[20:29] <daxroc> Odd-rationale: Scratch that , It is a great introduction, but would be nice once things are setup to use a source repo or something ?
[20:29] <kane77> jimcooncat, true :) although I'm using sudo -s more often now...
[20:29] <J_P> hi all
[20:29] <Wifi-Phreak> Can anyone tell me of a good program I could install to make my audio LOUDER
[20:30] <J_P> people, I did run "apt-get -f install" and show this :   libxdmcp6: Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 is installed
[20:30] <J_P>   xserver-xorg-core: Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 is installed
[20:30] <jimcooncat> It won't help me from the old rm -rf /; I'd type the sudo automatically
[20:30] <J_P> How I solve that ?
[20:30] <Pici> daxroc: Not everyone wants to compile things just to get them to work.  and the source is available
[20:30] <jac0b-work> my first intro to linus was mandrake
[20:30] <jac0b-work> linux*
[20:30] <offipso> kazol: Did you see that? If you need to execute a ton of commands as root, just use sudo -s so you don't have to prepend 'sudo' every time you type a command
[20:30] <dd> did u turn up the sound in alsamixer?
[20:30] <Odd-rationale> daxroc: Perhaps for some. I like the ease of installing software though.
[20:30] <Wifi-Phreak> Yes I did and its still not loud enough dd
[20:31] <owain> what do you think about sudo su?
[20:31] <kazol> offipso: Ok, thanks, I was looking for the equivelent of "su" before.
[20:31] <owain> to open a root shell
[20:31] <daxroc> Pici: "Option" & there are minor speed enhancements not worth ranting about
[20:31] <eclipse__> is there anything out there like fs-driver for vista?
[20:31] <owain> is that bad practise?
[20:31] <jimcooncat> daxroc: that's why I switched from gentoo, just for the install speed of binaries
[20:31] <eth01> practice *
[20:31] <owain> thanks eth :P
[20:31] <Powaqqatsi> Does anyone know what directory FLTK gets installed in on ubuntu?  can't seem to find it via search
[20:31] <offipso> kazol: sudo -s is equivalent
[20:31] <attickid> anyone has ever installed a Tablet on ubuntu? ..
[20:31] <owain> not really an answer though...
[20:32] <eth01> owain: should be su - ?
[20:32] <owain> yeah
[20:32] <owain> sorry
[20:32] <owain> but sudo su -
[20:32] <daxroc> * speed enhancements of source compiled software
[20:32] <Odd-rationale> attickid: You mean get the tablet features to work? I have - in fiesty.
[20:32] <Wifi-Phreak> dd you know of any program I can use to make my audio louder?
[20:32] <owain> is there another way I should be doing that?
[20:32] <sake> jak włączyć firefoxa gdy nie mam X
[20:32] <eth01> owain: i'm a debian user :P
[20:32] <owain> hehe
[20:32] <kane77> !pl | sake
[20:32] <ubotu> sake: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[20:32] <owain> and I just saw someone said sudo -s anyways
[20:32] <offipso> attickid: I have a wacom pen tablet I've used in ubuntu. Not on the latest versions, but maybe a year before.
[20:33] <dd> whats a nice dark gnome theme?
[20:33] <attickid> Odd-rationale: yeah..It's actually working ..it moves around
[20:33] <owain> so I guess it makes little difference apart from saving a few key strokes...
[20:33] <attickid> Odd-rationale: but..when I pressure
[20:33] <J_P> anyone can help me ?
[20:33] <attickid> Odd-rationale: it just pastes anything I've written using the keyboard
[20:33] <kurnia> #jakarta
[20:33] <Powaqqatsi> anyone know how I can search my hard disk in ubuntu?  I've used the tracker search, and it says it finds things but I cant see any on the list.   also, the search method from the file browser doesnt find anything
[20:33] <eddy> my Intel i810 3d card isn't working although it has a driver, what do I do?
[20:33] <jimcooncat> J_P: yes
[20:33] <Odd-rationale> dd: Ubuntustudio
[20:34] <attickid> offipso:when I pressure it just pastes anything I've written using the keyboard..
[20:34] <daxroc> Powaqqatsi: open a terminal: sudo updatedb | locate file
[20:34] <nomojob> offipso: lol, I ended the process x-session-manager and it restart my comp.  hehe.
[20:34] <Powaqqatsi> thanks dax, will try
[20:34] <krammer> I am tired of entering my username and password for yahoo what is available ?
[20:34] <eclipse_> is there anything like fs driver for vista?
[20:34] <eclipse_> i want to open my linux files on vista
[20:34] <Marcusklaas> Hey could someone help me out? I mounted this external harddisk of mine to several folders. How do unmount it from the folders, but not the thing itself?
[20:34] <Odd-rationale> attickid: I haven't a clue.
[20:35] <Anubis> nubis: and it has to be under his name
[20:35] <Anubis> 12:31… TeknoJuce: okay i was gunna say i would have been nicer to you
[20:35] <Anubis> 12:32… TeknoJuce: i usually shaft him
[20:35] <offipso> attickid: I saw that, hm.. You might have to find some tutorials on getting the wacom pen tablet to work. When I did it it wa sa mess of editing the /etc/xorg/xorg.conf file, which configures the x window manager
[20:35] <Anubis> 12:32… Anubis: lol why?
[20:35] <Anubis> 12:33…  Anubis: b
[20:35] <daxroc> eclipse_: use a smb share ?
[20:35] <offipso> nomojob: haha oops, now you see you don't want to kill that. X is the window manager
[20:35] <Anubis> my bad

[20:36] <Anubis> ive installed before and never had this problem
[20:36] <jimcooncat> J_P: have you tried reinstalling libxdmcp6?
[20:36] <daxroc> sudo unmount /path/to/folder
[20:36] <pike_> Marcusklaas: sudo umount /media/mahardisk/  does that umount all mountpoints? i wouldnt expect that
[20:36] <daxroc> *umount
[20:36] <offipso> anubis: fd0 is your floppy drive.. Does the install hang here? It might be a warning you can ignore, saying it cannot use your floppy drive
[20:36] <Powaqqatsi> hmm still cant find it... does anyone know where libfltk1.1 is installed in ubuntu (got it via apt-get)?  need to put the path in my makefile but i cant find it for the life of me
[20:36] <Anubis> how do i ignore?
[20:36] <pike_> Anubis: maybe ctrl-c?
[20:36] <Marcusklaas> pike_ & daxroc: I'll try
[20:36] <dmckee> Anyone: Hard drive mounting error says that in line 8 of fstab is bad "can't find /mdeia/Basic in fstab or mtab .... what do I do?
[20:37] <offipso> attickid: Hmm. And you're sure you have the settings correct for the button presses? It sounds like it's interpreting what should be sensitivity as the middle mouse button
[20:37] <zippytech> hey
[20:37] <Anubis> i will try to turn it off in the bios
[20:37] <stefg> !fstab | dmckee

[20:38] <zippytech> what would make it not usable in ubuntu

[20:39] <genii> zippytech: Did you get the fsck thing sorted out yet?
[20:39] <Odd-rationale> If I encrypt my entire hard drive with the Gutsy alt install cd, does that mean I will not be able to access the files in my hard drive from a LiveCD?
[20:39] <offipso> attickid: I don't think I can help.. Perhaps there's a message board?
[20:40] <dd> how do you get the menu bar to show on a window you disabled the menu bar?
[20:40] <offipso> stefg: Ah. That's what your comment meant. There IS no inittab. I feel like I've lost something
[20:40] <cabroni_> any know a simple program to edit PDFs? (I think that Openoffice do it)

[20:41] <musashi1> does anyone know how to set up the ssh username and password in the dd-wrt firmware? i only see an option for auth keys and i haven't been able to get that to work either. in the sort term, user/pass would be nice.
[20:41] <holzmodem> hi, I compiled and installed compiz screensaver plugin successfull, but it dont want start, why? (kubuntu)
[20:41] <zippytech> everything i try it just say device busy
[20:41] <offipso> attickid: Good luck. I might not be a reliable source anyway as I b ought a Vista tablet PC, having found linux extremely lacking in graphical applications and pen tablet support
[20:41] <zippytech> i took the drive out of fstab and still same thing
[20:41] <Marcusklaas> Question: when install a program through apt-get install .. do you install it in your /home/username/ folder?
[20:41] <Odd-rationale> genii: How will that work? Just right-click -> mount and it will prompt me for the key?
[20:41] <zippytech> but drive works on cd boot
[20:41] <wressle> Anyone here with some dmraid knowledge? Running dmraid seems to work just fine, it reports my two disks as /dev/dm-0 500.1GB.. but I can't mount it (already mounted or /mnt/ busy although it is not.) Does anyone have a clue?
[20:42] <genii> zippytech: boot to Recovery, then try from there
[20:42] <genii> Odd-rationale: Did you use truecrypt or some other?
[20:42] <dinop007> how can i open rar file?
[20:43] <stefg> !rar | dinop007
[20:43] <zippytech> i can boot the system, it's the second data drive u cannot mount
[20:43] <ubotu> dinop007: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[20:43] <Marcusklaas> dinop007: you will have to download that first
[20:43] <dd> how do i get the file,edit,etc bar back on a window i disabled it on?
[20:44] <genii> zippytech: What i mean is, boot to Recovery, then try to run from there the fsck
[20:44] <offipso> dd: How did you disable it?
[20:44] <zippytech> ok
[20:44] <dd> under the profile editor, it's a console window, but i cant get there because the bar is gone :)
[20:45] <kelsin> dd right click
[20:45] <pike_> dinop007: use nonfree not free
[20:45] <offipso> dd: Ah, right click and click show menubar
[20:45] <dd> ah rightclick IN the window not on the title bar
[20:45] <krammer> I am tired of entering my username and password for yahoo what is available ?
[20:45] <offipso> dd: I thought you did something with "devilspie," or something trickier
[20:45] <offipso> krammer: all the solutions would probably tire you out more than typing in your username and password in yahoo
[20:46] <mathen> Anyone know if I can find a program called "Jdeveloper" for Ubuntu 7.10?
[20:46] <dd> this place is so helpful
[20:46] <offipso> krammer: can't firefox remember the password?
[20:46] <krammer> offipso i know there is a kde wallet
[20:46] <Marcusklaas> DD: DID YOU MEAN THAT!?
[20:46] <dd> i tried slackware and there forum was way too cool to help me

[20:46] <Marcusklaas> we're trying
[20:46] <ianm_> anyone using pulseaudio?
[20:46] <dmckee> Is there a shortcut for switching workspaces? (aka desktops)
[20:46] <krammer> offipso: no
[20:47] <dmckee> I thought there used to be alt+F1 ,F2, F3... but not anymore?
[20:47] <offipso> dd: slackware is all about making you suffer
[20:47] <offipso> dmckee: you can see what is bound to those keys in system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts
[20:47] <kelsin> mathen: looks like you can download it on the oracle website, just needs a java jdk, so "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk" then download and follow their instructions
[20:48] <ianm_> dmckee: ctrl-alt-left/right don't work?  you can set it in key binding preferences
[20:48] <genii> Odd-rationale: If you used stock encrypt from the install, then from livecd do: sudo apt-get install cryptsetup  then try to mount it, wherein it will ask for the passphrase
[20:48] <mgtd> Hallo
[20:48] <dd> offipso: i sure did, it took a day just to get a GUI
[20:48] <dmckee> oh, very good offipso! thank you
[20:48] <offipso> dmckee: No problem
[20:48] <mathen> Thanks kelsin, I'll give it a try
[20:48] <offipso> dd: it'd take longer than a day to get someone in the IRC forum to help you install a GUI... They just sit around, mostly silent, and insult you when they muster the energy
[20:49] <dd> lol yup
[20:50] <Marcusklaas> what shell command lets me see my in-network Ip adress?
[20:50] <offipso> dmckee: If you're really enterprising, you can use gconf-editor to bind custom commands to custom keypresses.. e.g., I have ctrl ~ open up a console, and ctrl 1 open up an editor on a sort of scratchpad file for taking notes
[20:50] <Anubis> buffer i/o err on device fdo, logical block 0, i have no floppy driver how can i bypass this

[20:51] <xilvr> hi
[20:51] <reportingsjr> I used to be able to use 1024x768 max (I know)
[20:51] <mathen> kelsin, I wrote as you said
[20:51] <fve> hello
[20:51] <reportingsjr> but now it's down to 800x600, which is painful for me
[20:51] <mathen> and Now I'm in some kind of manual. And it says <ok> but I can't press anything
[20:51] <mathen> any suggestions?
[20:51] <fve> help
[20:52] <kelsin> mathen: should be able to tab to ok and hit enter, probably the java license accept screen?
[20:52] <Anubis> stefg im booting the cd so i can install
[20:52] <xilvr> i'm german and ubuntu is well translated, but openoffice is in english - do anyone know where i can find language packs?
[20:52] <offipso> reportingsjr: does it not go any higher in the system/preferences/screen resolution?
[20:52] <dmckee> anyone have a minute to PM me about hard drive permissions/access? I'm sure what I need to correct in fstab...
[20:52] <reportingsjr> mathen: In terminal? Try the left or right buttons.

[20:53] <zstars> Hey ppl, is there an apt-get command in ubuntu?
[20:53] <Anubis> sudo apt-get
[20:53] <dd> yup
[20:53] <xilvr> yeah
[20:53] <offipso> reportingsjr: I had the same problem when I first installed ubuntu; it wasn't giving me anything higher than 1024x768. I had to edit the /etc/xorg/xorg.conf file and list some extra modes in my monitor and graphic device sections.. You'll probably want info open in a window or saved to a file if you try that route
[20:53] <stefg> xilvr: sudo apt-get install language-support-de
[20:53] <offipso> bah
[20:53] <xilvr> is that for open office, stefg?
[20:54] <mathen> kelsin, I've installed now. What should I now do to get Jdev?
[20:54] <wressle> Anyone here with some dmraid knowledge? Running dmraid seems to work just fine, it reports my two disks as /dev/dm-0 500.1GB.. but I can't mount it (already mounted or /mnt/ busy although it is not.) Does anyone have a clue?
[20:54] <stefg> xilvr: that's a meta-package that will install language support for all default apps
[20:54] <andrej6> hi
[20:54] <kelsin> mathen: go to oracle's site and follow their instructions, I don't have the time to walk you through step by step
[20:54] <EdwardXP> someone wants to know my computers specs graphics cardwise and ram space everything how do i get that information from ubuntu
[20:54] <kadakas> lshw
[20:54] <xilvr> thank you, stefg

[20:55] <mathen> What's their page atleast, kelsin  :P
[20:55] <xilvr> it just download some files right now

[20:55] <dmckee> fstab --under # /dev/sdc2 -- line 8 reads "UUID=4248BA1848BA0AA5 /media/Basic" but Basic can not be found. how can I correct line 8 so I can access the drive?
[20:55] <tdoggette> The sound on my computer is much quieter on my Gutsy install than WinXP SP2.

How can I make it louder?

[20:55] <K_Dallas> Hi guys! What is the most efficient way of running Office2007 under Ubuntu 7.10? Thanks
[20:55] <xilvr> wtf it seems to work, stefg, love you ^^
[20:55] <stefg> !uuid | dmckee
[20:55] <ubotu> dmckee: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[20:56] <pike_> K_Dallas: crossover office which is pretty much wine
[20:56] <pike_> or just wine
[20:56] <offipso> K_Dallas: Run vmware and have windows running at the same time, is my guess
[20:56] <offipso> does wine really run office 2007?
[20:56] <K_Dallas> pike_, does it run office2007 as well?
[20:56] <syngin001> crossover is the way to go
[20:56] <xilvr> cause i just googled for language packs, but in the boards they posted there aren't languagepacks and "you've to install the local version completely new"
[20:57] <xilvr> anyway, thank you stefg

[20:57] <reportingsjr> stefg: Thank you so much!!
[20:57] <K_Dallas> syngin001, i havent tcheked them latelty so i thought it run only office2003
[20:57] <offipso> Office 2007 is pretty impressive...I haven't tried crossover, but if it's anything like openoffice, it can't stand up to it
[20:57] <darrend> anyone using intel X3100 graphics? There's a lot of stuff online about compiz not working properly with it, but some info seems contradictory
[20:57] <tdoggette> ubotu, thanks.
[20:57] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[20:57] <offipso> unless it actually runs 2007?
[20:57] <Brucevdk> I just bought a new hard disk for my laptop, it's a Seagate Momentus (ATA) and after a few hours of house it's already up to 160 load cycles. I can hear the hard disk make a grinding noise once every minute and this increases the load cycle count. My previous disk only seemed to increase load cycles when restarting (or similliar). What could be the problem?
[20:58] <EdwardXP> how do i find out how many mega bytes does my graphics card have?
[20:58] <kelsin> xilvr: looks like you need the "language-support-<country code>" package
[20:58] <xilvr> lol ubotu
[20:58] <pike_> K_Dallas: maybe not i guess you might consider looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization  for just one app vmware has some overhead
[20:58] <K_Dallas> pike_, appreciate it, i will look into it
[20:58] <xilvr> thx and good bye
[20:58] <dd> i changed the ssh port but when i ssh myip it still asks for password, why?  shouldnt i have to specify a port since it isnt on 22
[20:58] <Hanyou_> Hello can anyone help me with a load time question in Gutsy?
[20:58] <SuperFart> what's tst
[20:59] <EdwardXP> darrend, how can i find out how much space i have
[20:59] <EdwardXP> in my graphics card
[20:59] <Brucevdk> Think I might have found a new bug discussing this issue, jeez this is a scary problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[20:59] <stefg> Brucevdk: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[20:59] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: how much space you have in your graphics card?
[21:00] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: do you mean, how much memory it has?
[21:00] <emosamurai> Hi. I found a .rvmb file. VLC and MPlayer can not open it. I looked on the wiki and downloaded the associated Dirac plugin, which is supposed to be a universal codec, but VLC and Mplayer will still not play my file.
[21:00] <EdwardXP> foldingstock, yah, and RAM memory
[21:00] <Hanyou_> My problem is I have a super looong boot time due to it checking my windowz partion on the drive. Any help on turning this off?
[21:00] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: is english your first language?
[21:00] <deal_> Is FTP open in local network by standard in linux ? or is that a function I have to enable ?
[21:00] <EdwardXP> no
[21:00] <Brucevdk> stefg: yup that's the new report, the previous one (as described) dismissed it as a LAPTOP_MODE problem.
[21:00] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: ok
[21:00] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: what kind of video card is it?
[21:01] <narothepharoh> how to open a .daa file
[21:01] <EdwardXP> foldingstock, video card is a onboard video card>> its a laptop P m730
[21:01] <pike_> deal_: no server apps like vsftpd are installed in default desktop install you can install em though
[21:01] <zkjellberg> Does anyone know how to add mp3 support for Rhythmbox?
[21:01] <EdwardXP> foldingstock, its' intel
[21:01] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: then it has shared memory, which you configure in the bios
[21:01] <deal_> pike_: thanks m8! I look in to vsftpd =)
[21:01] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: probably 16 or 32MB
[21:01] <EdwardXP> foldingstock, is there anyway i can find out how much is in use right now?
[21:02] <offipso> zkjellberg: There should be a good amount about getting mp3s to work that you can find on google. I can't tell you specifically, as I use xmms and vlc, but you shoudl only hvae to apt-get a few codecs
[21:02] <narothepharoh> how to open a .daa file?
[21:02] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: reboot the laptop, and go into the bios, you will find an option for "shared memory" (probably under an "advanced" menu)
[21:02] <stefg> Hanyou_: edit the <pass> parameter for that drive from 2 to 0 . see !fstab to get a complete expalanation
[21:02] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: that will tell you how much it uses
[21:02] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: another way would be to see how much memory you have on your system, and compare that with how much you actually have
[21:02] <zkjellberg> offipso: Thankyou, How is xmms? I'm just looking for a simple media player for ubuntu.
[21:02] <mneisen> Hi, when i want to transform a PS to PDF using ps2pdf, the resulting PDF has letter format instead of A4 format. Any hints?! Thanks in advance!
[21:02] <EdwardXP> :( i wanted to do everything remotely
[21:03] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: if you're using 32MB shared memory for your video card, and you have 512MB in your system, your system will only show 480MB
[21:03] <narothepharoh> how to open a .daa file?
[21:03] <offipso> zkjellberg: xmms is great, reminds me of winamp
[21:03] <void^> narothepharoh: poweriso has a linux utility to convert their .daa to something useful
[21:03] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: so just check /proc/meminfo and see how much memory the system days it has
[21:03] <zkjellberg> offipso: No need to install audio codecs?
[21:03] <offipso> zkjellberg: It should be easy to get mp3s working it in, as well. try apt-get install xmms
[21:03] <Hanyou_> stefg: This may sound like a stupid question, but where do I find !fstab?
[21:03] <zkjellberg> offipso: Thankyou. :) Going to check that out now.
[21:03] <Anubis> what would be the boot code to disable fdo detection
[21:04] <offipso> zkjellberg: You may very well have to.. Try xmms, if it won't play mp3s it will be fixable by installing another package, though I can't say I know which
[21:04] <stefg> !fstab | Hanyou_
[21:04] <ubotu> Hanyou_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[21:04] <narothepharoh> void: how do i get power iso?
[21:04] <yaaar> is the nonfree flash player plugin up to date on the LTS desktop ubuntu? I have a friend who's having trouble using snapfish.com ...site tells her to upgrade her flash player, but i'm logged in via ssh and apt-get tells me flashplugin-nonfree is at the latest version...
[21:04] <EdwardXP> foldingstock,  thanks, i figure everything out myself i should burn this information in my head but i know what you want me to do
[21:04] <Hanyou_> Thanks a bunch!
[21:04] <peeps[work]> where does the money come from for shipping free Ubuntu CDs?
[21:04] <void^> narothepharoh: "poweriso", a company. they have a website.
[21:04] <yaaar> i guess my larger question is whether there is some more capable/newer flash plugin she's supposed to be using
[21:04] <eth01> why does the installation process take so long? :/
[21:05] <narothepharoh> void is it free?
[21:05] <offipso> eth01 How long is it taking?
[21:05] <EdwardXP> foldingstock, /proc and vital system information i should remember so i can navigate my way around
[21:05] <eth01> offipso: its on 15% for the past 10 or so minutes.
[21:05] <EdwardXP> just learning
[21:05] <void^> narothepharoh: only as in free beer
[21:05] <pike_> yaaar: you can grab the plugin from adobe
[21:05] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: yes
[21:05] <stefg> eth01: because you only have 256 MB of RAM
[21:05] <offipso> eth01: Could be worse
[21:05] <deal_> How do I configure users with vsftpd ?
[21:05] <foldingstock> EdwardXP: also, "dmesg" is a good command to use when troubleshooting
[21:05] <offipso> eth01: Plus, you can use the system as it installs, though if you have low RAM as stefg suggests, that will slow it down too
[21:05] <CoasterMaster> Is there a website that says what all the Unix directories in / are (i.e. what is in /etc, /bin, /var, etc)
[21:06] <stefg> !fhs
[21:06] <ubotu> An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[21:06] <narothepharoh> is there any other way?
[21:06] <zkjellberg> offipso: Works right away with mp3s, thanx. :)
[21:06] <SuperFart> how do I make netstat only show internet connections
[21:06] <eth01> offipso: it will always be slow, no matter what.
[21:06] <MinusSeven> Is there a way to change the date format in the taskbar without changing the language settings?
[21:06] <void^> narothepharoh: it's a proprietary file format, so probably not.
[21:07] <eth01> i installed ubuntu onto a server with 16gb ram, and it was still sluggish.
[21:07] <offipso> zkjellberg: Woot. If you want a similarly pleasant experience for videos, try vlc. Enabling extra repositories in the synaptic package manager mmight helpy ou find fun thigns too (like libdvdread)
[21:07] <offipso> eth01: That's not my experience. I can't say what caused it to be slow on a system like that
[21:07] <core64> eth01: ubuntu install takes 25 mins on this computer
[21:07] <m11> eth01 , dont set network at install process, configure it l8r
[21:08] <zkjellberg> offipso: I am currently using mplayer which is treating me well. Installs codecs and such manually, but may install VLC because it seems to be able to play everything if my primary video player is uncapable of doing it.
[21:08] <eth01> m11, you haven't installed from the latest ubuntu then have you? ;)
[21:08] <offipso> zkjellberg: Ah, mplayer is pretty good too. Experiment, I'd say, as it sounds like you're doing
[21:08] <eth01> m11, it doesn't ask for network config in the installation process *yet* ..
[21:09] <peeps[work]> Does canonical actually make money?
[21:09] <offipso> eth01: what version are you installing? Are you using the live-cd?
[21:09] <stefg> !install | eth01
[21:09] <ubotu> eth01: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[21:09] <JWl> Hi i cant find a  guide how i install Xgl and Beryl to Ubuntu 7.10 ...i have use google ...but i only found to Edgy.  Can somone help me to find a guide ??
[21:09] <yaaar> pike_: ok, she downloaded the .tar.gz version from adobe (the website prompts you to d/l that or an .rpm) and it unpacks/runs and installs libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla ...but then when we close/reopen the browser and try again she's getting the same thing.
[21:09] <core64> eth01: maybe its the CD you're using, try downloading again, and burning at a slower speed

[21:09] <deal_> How do I configure add/remove users with vsftpd ?
[21:10] <yaaar> pike_: could the libflashplayer.so in one of the other plugins directories be taking precedence?
[21:10] <Powaqqatsi> anyone have any idea why i cant run some apps via console?   I'm new to ubuntu.  On debian after making a new app i could just type the name to run it, now i have to go to the file browser and double click it, anyone have any idea?
[21:10] <zkjellberg> Question: Whenever I toy with my network settings, all programs seem to do "Program is starting..." and never boot. This only seems to happen when I switch my profile in the network program. Anyone know what causes this? The only thing I can do is reboot to resolve the issue.

[21:10] <lex> yaaar if you upgrade firefox to the newest version, they have it implimented to install acrobat, flash ect
[21:10] <offipso> zkjellberg: Perhaps you've changed your hostname? If you do, I think that Xorg freaks out and needs to be restarted. btw, a qcuik way to restart xorg (the x windows GUI) is ctrl+alt+backsapce, which doesn't reboot the computer
[21:11] <svschwartz> hi all
[21:11] <stefg> Powaqqatsi: maybe the files are not in your path. and ubuntu uses sudo for the stuff in sbin
[21:11] <stefg> !sudo | Powaqqatsi
[21:11] <ubotu> Powaqqatsi: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[21:11] <core64> JWl: see if this gets you started, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580748

[21:11] <diafic> sudo empty your wallet into this sack.
[21:11] <zstars> Noob question, how do you get sudo apt-get to download a package from the net, and not try to install from a CD?
[21:11] <Powaqqatsi> thanks, but the file is in my path and i tried sudo
[21:11] <Powaqqatsi> still doesnt run it
[21:11] <core64> zstars: you have to disable the CD as a repository
[21:12] <stefg> !apt | zstars
[21:12] <ubotu> zstars: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[21:12] <yaaar> the updates have been faithfully done on the box, but very little is installed outside of the repos
[21:12] <zkjellberg> offipso: The only thing that is being changed with the different profiles is the preferred wireless signal. I'll remember that key combination and see if that resolves future issues.
[21:12] <lex> yaaar I upgraded firefox manually by downloading the tar.bz
[21:12] <offipso> powaqqatsi: By in your path, do you mean the file is in the local directory you're in?
[21:12] <svschwartz> can anybody help with little c++ program
[21:12] <svschwartz> just 3 strings
[21:12] <Powaqqatsi> yep, same directory as the console shows that i am in
[21:12] <offipso> zkjellberg: Ah, I'm thinking of a different profile, then. Not sure why it does that
[21:12] <K_Dallas> is there anyother way around to use office2007 files under ubuntu besides virtualization?
[21:12] <JWl> but do i need beryl ??
[21:12] <zstars> oh ty
[21:13] <offipso> powaqqatsi: have you tried ./program_name ?
[21:13] <jamiejackson> sometimes when i resume, i can't do anything with gnome. i can't interact with the menu bars. i'm having such a situation right now. what's the trick for giving gnome a kick (not as hard a kick as ctrl-alt-backspace)

[21:13] <stefg> JWl: beryl is no more... it's now compiz-fusion

[21:13] <narothepharoh> how to open a.tar.gz file?
[21:13] <offipso> k_dallas: Perhaps you can convert them to regular .doc files, which openoffice can open?
[21:13] <SuperFart> how do I make netstat only show internet connections
[21:13] <Powaqqatsi> ahh that does it :) ty offipso
[21:13] <Powaqqatsi> never had to do that with debian
[21:13] <zkjellberg> offipso: thanx for all the help, i'm gonna head off
[21:13] <JWl> yea but how do i get cube and like tha on compiz?
[21:13] <narothepharoh> it keeps telling me run with?
[21:13] <K_Dallas> also, I have just installed Ubuntu7.10 on my laptop and when I try to activate visual effects, it says it cannot. should i install any particular package for that? (the installation is the default)
[21:13] <offipso> powaqqatsi: no problem. ./ basically means run this program. You can type a program name withotu ./ if it's in your path, meaning in a system variable called $PATH or something similar
[21:14] <K_Dallas> offipso, i could always do it but
[21:14] <lex> yaaar: ok, just a suggestion since it sounded like they were trying to manually install adobe anyways
[21:14] <zstars> svsc: ##c++ :)
[21:14] <carnelain> can I apply view as list on all folders? (7.10)
[21:14] <offipso> zkjellberg: np

[21:14] <Powaqqatsi> yeh, familiar with the notation, just didnt think about it because it never came up in the other distros i was used to

[21:15] <svschwartz> zstars: u see when I input "test1 test2 test3" it prints out just "test1"
[21:15] <offipso> alex__: The way to configure grub, as far as I know, is to check /boot/grub/menu.lst

[21:15] <chazco> hi... I have an IR remote control... after compiling v4l-dvb most of the buttons work... How can i get the others? They generate codes in showkey...
[21:15] <alex__> i tried that, i added the lines for the vista install
[21:15] <K_Dallas> stefg, it lists nothing
[21:15] <stefg> K_Dallas: you typoed
[21:15] <alex__> i think i just can't get the rootnoverify line right
[21:16] <offipso> loopo`: interestingly enough I have the same sort of problems, but only with futurama dvds! VLC will play them for a few minutes then crash. Other dvds work fine all the wya through
[21:16] <stefg> K_Dallas: linux is case sensitive
[21:16] <mrball> quangle: I installed the Terminus font on a recommendation of a coworker.  Works ok for Gnome apps.
[21:16] <K_Dallas> stefg, yes i had  forgot ;)
[21:16] <yaaar> lex: well, yes. but only because apparently the libflashplugin-nonfree package is out of date and won't run this site she wants to use.
[21:16] <quangle> mrball, thanks. is there a good default font though?
[21:16] <offipso> loop`: Are you able to play other dvds?
[21:16] <offipso> loopo`, that is
[21:16] <K_Dallas> stefg,  intel mobile GM965 GL960 integrated graphic rev 8c
[21:16] <loopo`> let me check
[21:17] <EdwardXP> cat ./cpuinfo
[21:17] <EdwardXP> the best command line :D
[21:17] <mrball> quangle: In the end, I ended up sticking with Monospace (because in terminus the difference between () and {} was very difficult to see) and disabling bold.  Then my mutt looks right.
[21:17] <jamiejackson> how do i give gnome a bump when the menus become unresponsive?
[21:17] <offipso> !dvd | offipso
[21:17] <jalvarado_> Why a lot of people say that ubuntu is a shit
[21:17] <jalvarado_> ???
[21:17] <dd> how do i close unused ports?
[21:17] <K_Dallas> stefg, i have to go out for 10 min could you plz pm me your messages, thanks
[21:17] <Nuked> I just tried to run a program called warzone 2100 and It states that "error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" but I have it installed
[21:17] <carnelain> can I apply view as list on all folders? (7.10)
[21:17] <offipso> jalvarado_: like any computer system, it can be difficult
[21:18] <offipso> dd: iptables is the linux software firewall, that can close ports and do other security things
[21:18] <slaytanic> dd: If they are unused... they're already closed.
[21:18] <mrball> Nuked: depends _where_ you have it installed and if the dynamic loader knows where to find it.
[21:18] <zstars> Does anyone know how to get apt-get to download from the net only, and not to use CDs? I've not been able to find how to on the link
[21:18] <offipso> dd: You can find examples online or in man iptables
[21:18] <zippytech> is there a way to list files using a hard drive
[21:18] <mediahunter> can anyone here help me with my wifi issue
[21:18] <loopo`> i just popped in my copy of saved and it works perfectly well
[21:18] <lex> yaaar: stupid question, i may have missed you saying this, but have they/you tried following the install guide on the flashplayer website?
[21:18] <EdwardXP> whats the command to find out how much space is in a directory?
[21:18] <dd> well theyre closed but not blocked
[21:18] <stefg> K_Dallas: it's disabled because videp playback has issues with compiz on that card
[21:18] <zippytech> du -sh
[21:18] <void^> zstars: remove/commend the cdrom lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:18] <offipso> zstars: have you tried editing the options in the synaptic package manager? You should be able to seleect internet repositories in there, and then hit the update button to download available package info
[21:19] <svschwartz> zstars: vim /etc/apt/source.list comment deb-cd
[21:19] <offipso> edwardXP: du -h /some/directory
[21:19] <core64> zstars: go to System -> Administration -> software sources, and uncheck the CD
[21:19] <zstars> oh ty
[21:19] <svschwartz> guys need help with simple c++ program
[21:19] <core64> svschwartz: this isn't programming support
[21:19] <svschwartz> where is it ????
[21:20] <stefg> !freenode
[21:20] <ubotu> freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[21:20] <yaaar> er, adobe's website? nope.....really i just did what seemed obvious. it told me to dl a tar from adobe, i unpacked and it had an executable which ran and told me it installed
[21:20] <EdwardXP> edward@Laptopxp:~/s07-7$ du -h
[21:20] <EdwardXP> 4.8M    ./w-plsk01
[21:20] <EdwardXP> 3.0G    .
[21:20] <yaaar> lex
[21:20] <EdwardXP> does that 3.0GB .  "mean its a parent directory"
[21:20] <loopo`> so yes other dvds work well if that was unclear
[21:20] <corruptionoflulz> I have to admit, i am incredibly impressed by how good the ubuntu community is, and how helpful everyone in it is to new people.
[21:20] <svschwartz> core64: what chanel provide programming support ?
[21:20] <void^> EdwardXP: no, current directory.
[21:20] <EdwardXP> yah
[21:21] <EdwardXP> its a current dir
[21:21] <core64> svschwartz: look through the freenode channel listing for some type of C++ channel, i know nothing about c++
[21:21] <Nuked> mrball, I have the original ubuntu package installed, and it installed to /usr/local but im not sure how to point the loader in that direction
[21:21] <Nuked> mrball, usr/lib sorry
[21:21] <zippytech> where would i look to find out whats using a drive
[21:21] <svschwartz> !freenode
[21:21] <ubotu> freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[21:21] <zippytech> any idea's
[21:21] <kelsin> zippytech: youmean
[21:22] <yaaar> lex: ok now i've read their instructions...but it's just the same process i did
[21:22] <kelsin> zippytech: you can't umount it?
[21:22] <Luciel> Hi everyone, im new to linux, and my ubuntu resolution is all over the place (to big for screen) could someone point me to where might i change the screen resolution?
[21:22] <mrball> Nuked: where is the exact file?
[21:22] <zippytech> unmount nor mount
[21:22] <offipso> luciel: first try system/preferences/screen resolution in the menu bar up top
[21:22] <zippytech> says is busy
[21:22] <zippytech> rebooted and everyting
[21:22] <jalvarado_> offipso, I ask because  I know some people that does not like as ubuntu has changed a lot of thing of the system
[21:22] <Luciel> thats the thing cant see the menu bar up top offipso : (
[21:22] <zippytech> i can boot to live cd and drive works fine
[21:22] <lex> yaaar: which version of flash and which of firefox?
[21:22] <t4m1n0>  /msg nickserv identify putkap
[21:23] <offipso> luciel: phew, that is zoomed in. And the screen doesn't scroll when you use the mouse? try ctrl alt numpad+ or numpad-
[21:23] <kelsin> zippytech: sudo lsof | grep sdx (where sdx is the device)
[21:23] <stefg> t4m1n0: time for a password cahnge :-)
[21:23] <t4m1n0> lol
[21:23] <Nuked> mrball, the libal or the game? If the game is what you are talking about its in my home folder.
[21:23] <core64> svschwartz: go to ##c++
[21:23] <t4m1n0> don't force me register a new nick :D
[21:23] <t4m1n0> stefg,
[21:23] <yaaar> lex: but i think i may have it fixed; i did md5sums on all the libflashplayer.so files on my system, and the ones in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins matched the one in /usr/lib/libflashplayer-nonfree/plugins whereas the only one to differ was the one in ~/.mozilla/ ...so i copied that one over to the other two directories
[21:23] <t4m1n0> :D
[21:23] <offipso> jalvarado_ I guess ubuntu's policy is to try and pick sane defaults for average or beginner linux users, so that could irritate some people who are used to other setups
[21:23] <core64> svschwartz: 508 ppl in there to help ya :)
[21:23] <t4m1n0> one q
[21:23] <mrball> Nuked: the libal.  Something like /usr/lib/libal/libal.so.6   or whatever.  I'm looking to see the exact path of it.
[21:23] <t4m1n0> btw about the nicks...
[21:23] <yaaar> unfortunately they aren't home so i can't test whether it works
[21:23] <zippytech> nothing
[21:23] <t4m1n0> I own nick frojnd..
[21:24] <Luciel> offipso: in deed, and the keys you mentioned have no effect : (
[21:24] <Nuked> mrball,  /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0
[21:24] <t4m1n0> but this nick is up even though I went off computer any ideas?
[21:24] <zippytech> it's not mounted eithere
[21:24] <offipso> luciel: the only other way I can think of is to manually edit the /etc/xorg/xorg.conf file, which contains screen resolution information.
[21:24] <mrball> Nuked: which game did you install?  Where is it installed?
[21:24] <aitor> is xubuntu like ubuntu?
[21:24] <yaaar> firefox 1.5.dfsg+<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu3
[21:24] <offipso> lucie: Sorry, wrong directory
[21:24] <yaaar> les
[21:24] <zippytech> have tried running fsck but that don't work either
[21:24] <jalvarado_> offipso, I understand it, but my friends do not
[21:25] <offipso> luciel: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the file
[21:25] <Luciel> XII right?
[21:25] <stefg> t4m1n0: see the freenode help... /msg nickserv ghost frojnd <password>
[21:25] <Luciel> there, cheers offipso : )
[21:25] <core64> aitor: its ubuntu but with XFCE, go to www.xfce.org for more info
[21:25] <EdwardXP> <IP_ADDRESS>  can someone connect to my computer testing r_desktop

[21:25] <riddareralf> How can I find gnome-art-manager in ubuntu? It's not in synaptic
[21:25] <core64> np
[21:25] <riddareralf> gnome-theme-manager***
[21:26] <offipso> Luciel: Hmm, on second thought, my own xorg.conf file lacks screen mode information, but I'm certain it can be in there.. google might be best for an example file
[21:26] <Nuked> mrball, if it makes a difference I am using 64 bit gutsy
[21:26] <JEFFmasterFLEX> riddareralf:  system/preferences/appearance
[21:27] <mrball> Nuked: and what do you run to attempt to start the game?  Is it a binary or a script?  (ldd against the binary and it will tell you where it's looking for the libs)
[21:27] <deal_> 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot open config file:start
[21:27] <corruptionoflulz> offipso: my xorg.conf has resolution settings.
[21:27] <deal_> is there any easyer apps that can setup an ftpserver exept vsftp ?
[21:27] <offipso> corrputionoflulz: I'd think all of them would, but mine doesn't seem to..
[21:27] <stefg> !ftpd | deal_

[21:27] <riddareralf> JEFFmasterFLEX, I'm using gnome-art and trying to change theme but they use gnome-theme-manager to change theme, and it doesn't exist.
[21:27] <offipso> luciel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=454217 is a howto regarding that topic
[21:27] <Nuked> mrball, a binary
[21:27] <attickid> anyone knows how to install Postgress apache and Php automatically?
[21:27] <core64> vsftpd is pretty easy, IMO
[21:27] <riddareralf> When I try gnome-theme-manager in console it says that it doesn't exist
[21:28] <toresn> what application is being used (to the right) in the following screenshot:
[21:28] <toresn> http://www.stampersite.com/images/after.png
[21:28] <mrball> Nuked: run ldd against it and see if it can find all the libs it's looking for.
[21:28] <JEFFmasterFLEX> riddareralf:  i think gnome-theme-manager has been deprecated in gnome 2.20
[21:28] <riddareralf> JEFFmasterFLEX, it's possible
[21:28] <stefg> !info conky | toresn
[21:28] <ubotu> toresn: conky: highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.7-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 140 kB, installed size 472 kB
[21:29] <offipso> damn, that conky program looks cool
[21:29] <Nuked> hmm mrball it would seem its linking to 32 bit libs
[21:29] <t4m1n0> how can I get informations about what wifi router i have ?
[21:30] <offipso> t4m1n0: get the model number off the physical router and look it up, or log into the router's html intreface and look there
[21:30] <core64> t4m1n0: walk over to router and take a look ;)
[21:30] <pike_> toresn: conky is pretty cool i think dsl uses an older version but that is what you want
[21:30] <toresn> is conky the best system monitoring application, or do you have any other recommendations?
[21:30] <stefg> !best
[21:30] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[21:30] <offipso> torsen: gkrellm is pretty cool, as are some gdesklets
[21:30] <t4m1n0> offipso, core64 there has to be a way to get info from chair,..
[21:30] <keanu> might sound weird, but I accidentally managed to remove myself from all groups except me and 'adm' and no longer have sudo access.  Seeing that I forget my root password, is there anyway to reset it without going into single user mode?
[21:30] <core64> t4m1n0: are you serious?
[21:31] <offipso> t4m1n0: what is your internal ip? e.g., log into <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:31] <t4m1n0> core64, 100% room where is router is locked..
[21:31] <offipso> t4m1n0: Then check out www.goldsgym.com
[21:31] <core64> lol
[21:31] <t4m1n0> offipso, ok..
[21:31] <offipso> haha, ah, locked
[21:31] <joakim> how do we change windows on compiz ??
[21:31] <stefg> keanu: you slammed the door and left the key inside.... no way, you're locked out

[21:32] <zippytech> when ubuntu boots how can you see what it's doing
[21:32] <zippytech> no splash screen
[21:32] <zippytech> i guess
[21:33] <pike_> zippytech: remove the splash in grub kernel line gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:33] <corruptionoflulz> Anyone here have their background set to change every certain amount of time or whatever?
[21:33] <pike_> zippytech: or you can do it at boot by hitting e to edit
[21:33] <core64> t4m1n0: that makes me think you have a linksys router, probably a WRT54g
[21:33] <jimcooncat> my dhcpd server isn't starting up on reboot, only when I invoke it. How to fix so it starts on boot?

[21:40] <DM|> adaminla: will it work? questionable.
[21:40] <eth01> depends, DM|.
[21:41] <offipso> odd-rationale: the only real requirement of a modern computer with supertux would be a decent video card, I'd imagine. more swap space is unlikley toh elp, as that game doesn't need a ton fo memory

[21:44] <kakoonia> hey, how do i activate applets in awn? cause i tried to add applets to the active applets list, and it asks me for a path to the applet, though i have no idea what path it should be, neither if i have it already installed. i installed already the awn-core-applets-bzr pkg.
[21:44] <core64> DM|: only one user and you can't sudo? Is this the user you setup the server w/
[21:44] <EdwardXP> you know whats really cool about ubuntu ???  type in the terminal " CAL "
[21:44] <EdwardXP> you can see the calendar
[21:44] <DM|> core64 yep
[21:44] <ebirtaid> WOWZERS
[21:44] <DM|> core64 heres the error.
[21:44] <joakim> do i neeed to install beryl to change window_
[21:44] <phiqtion> stefg: that website is broken
[21:44] <corruptionoflulz> EdwardXP: i like the command "fortune" better
[21:44] <googl1> -help
[21:45] <offipso> odd-rationale: Ah, hmm.. It's possible you don't have propritary drivers installed. Y ou can check system/administration/restricted drivers manager. If there's a video driver in there you can enable, that will probably help, as it will be faster. I'd imagine any computer with a recent ATI or nVidia card should be able to play it fine

[21:45] <stefg> phiqtion: works for me
[21:45] <EdwardXP> :( fortune doesn't work
[21:45] <offipso> odd-rationale: also, check the command line switches for the program, you  might be able to turn off some video options
[21:45] <googl1> can sb tell me a coding cannel ?
[21:45] <googl1> please
[21:45] <corruptionoflulz> randy: i don't think you can with xchat-gnome, atleast i haven't figured it out, i know you can with xchat though.
[21:45] <core64> googl1: what language is that?
[21:45] <core64> i can't tell
[21:45] <ebirtaid> asm
[21:45] <core64> oh
[21:45] <corruptionoflulz> EdwardXP: fortune doesn't work??
[21:45] <EdwardXP> i had to type in /usr/game/fortune Argghhh
[21:45] <stefg> googl1: see the freenode cahnnel listing, my guess would be #gcc
[21:46] <core64> not familiar w/ it

[21:46] <deal_> Anyone can tell me how I start up wine (with wow), in Full screen? Only get a small window :(
[21:46] <corruptionoflulz> You have Egyptian flu: you're going to be a mummy.
[21:46] <Odd-rationale> offipso: OK The restricted manager tells me that I I don't need any restricted drivers. What's the terminal commands you're talking about?
[21:46] <stefg> deal_: wine support is in #winehq
[21:46] <googl1> #gcc

[21:47] <core64> DM|: so are you having problems w/ postfix or running sudo? what happens if you type sudo aptitude?
[21:47] <ebirtaid> whats with all the xp in your stuff edwardxp

[21:48] <DM|> core64 nothing just displays "sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf"
[21:48] <Odd-rationale> offipso: Also is there a way to find out what type of video card am using. The System -> Administration -> System Monitor does not tell me. Maybe a command line?
[21:48] <ebirtaid> welp
[21:48] <zippytech> what and is kpartx the default in ubuntu
[21:48] <ebirtaid> xpert at fail

[21:48] <offipso> odd-rationale: Hm, try system/preferences/hardware information instead
[21:48] <offipso> ah, or that
[21:48] <core64> DM|: so whatever sudo command  you run, you get that error?
[21:48] <core64> thats odd

[21:49] <EdwardXP> why don't you ./ get the hell out of here :)

[21:49] <ebirtaid> yea :(
[21:49] <K_Dallas> Would this graphic card work with Ubuntu normal visual effect?  intel mobile GM965 GL960 integrated graphic rev 8c (if not, i have to say that i am so disappointed)
[21:50] <core64> K_Dallas: should work
[21:50] <EdwardXP> i reallly want to learn the bash commands, so i can talk even more geekie and take over yahoo one of these days
[21:50] <bastien> HI !
[21:50] <core64> DM|: im sorry, im not sure
[21:50] <ebirtaid> heh
[21:50] <K_Dallas> core64, that was my impression but why it says it cannot activate it
[21:50] <core64> K_Dallas: are you running 64bit?
[21:50] <DM|> K_Dallas you can always try, but dont be disappointed at the software, be disappointed at intel's attempt to cheap you out of a 3d card
[21:50] <K_Dallas> nope 32
[21:51] <keanu> question - i think i found my root password (i had it saved in an encrypted file with a few others) but on the RootSudo page, it says su is disabled by default - is there any way I can re-enable it without going into recovery mode?
[21:51] <stefg> K_Dallas: teh ubuntu-devs choose to disbale effects for that card, because you would loose the capability to watch video then. compiz is a new kind of software which has still some problems
[21:51] <Odd-rationale> offipso: Still there?
[21:51] <croddy> is there a way to override restricted-manager's erroneous judgement that i don't actually need fglrx? or perhaps a way to install fglrx that does an end-run around restricted-manager?
[21:51] <jrattner1> Question: Some how my installation grew largely over night?  Now my system is running terribly and says that diskspace is at 100%...so what do I do?
[21:51] <DM|> jrattner1 7.10?
[21:51] <jrattner1> correct
[21:52] <K_Dallas> stefg, so can i downgrade from compiz to something more compatible?
[21:52] <corruptionoflulz> From what i understood, they really just included compiz for fun, they know it's not stable yet, and people really shouldn't expect so.
[21:52] <jrattner1> DM|, correct
[21:52] <core64> K_Dallas: yea, i just realize we have the same card
[21:52] <DM|> jrattner1:  press ALT f2, and then type in "gksudo baobab"
[21:52] <K_Dallas> core64, :) so what do you do
[21:52] <core64> K_Dallas: it doesn't work :)
[21:52] <core64> lol
[21:52] <DM|> jrattner1 then... tell it to scan your filesystem, look at how big the files are
[21:52] <K_Dallas> oh lol
[21:52] <offipso> odd-rationale: whoops, yeah
[21:53] <stefg> K_Dallas: your only choice (although just theoretical) would be to change the video adapter. Your card isn't effects compatible, so forget about them
[21:53] <core64> K_Dallas: and stefg just said why, which sucks, cuz it work for me on gutsy beta
[21:53] <Odd-rationale> offipso: Where would I find my video card in the device manager?
[21:53] <core64> which would mean changing the motherboard
[21:53] <deal_> I'm new to linux. And everything here is new. I recall only some from my Slackware 4.0 period (wich lasted a few months). But where would you guys start to get a good understanding of Linux Kernel and all that comes with, let us say ubuntu :-D
[21:53] <core64> deal_: anything in particular you want to do?
[21:53] <iarwain1> deal_: prolly find a newbie guide
[21:54] <K_Dallas> stefg core64 so does it mean if i wait 6 month, it might actually work and right now, except for the visual eye candy, what other important features am i missing?
[21:54] <joakim> common gays help me !!! how do you hell changle windows tema in compix i now how you change animation but not the windows ..
[21:54] <jrattner1> DM|, alright and what should i be able to determine from this procedure
[21:54] <zippytech> does any one know if kpartx should be installed on a standard ubuntu install
[21:54] <offipso> odd-rationale, ah stefg had a better suggestions, which was "lspci | grep VGA" in hte terminal
[21:54] <iceman_> hello core 64
[21:54] <deal_> I'm new to linux. And everything here is new. I recall only some from my Slackware 4.0 period (wich lasted a few months). But where would you guys start to get a good understanding of Linux Kernel and all that comes with, let us say ubuntu :-D
[21:54] <DM|> jrattner1: where all the space is being used
[21:54] <core64> deal_: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/
[21:54] <DM|> jrattner1 should be able to tell what files/folders are using what space
[21:54] <iarwain1> ebirtaid: you stink O.o
[21:54] <core64> K_Dallas: hardy heron will be out by then
[21:54] <core64> hopefully its fixed
[21:55] <deal_> core64: Hehe =) Been there, but thanks.  But I was looking for a gui - i might forget the command next time I need it.
[21:55] <croddy> so is restricted-manager basically an unsupported beta or something? perhaps there is a PCI ID list somewhere i can hack to whip its ass into shape?
[21:55] <K_Dallas> core64, i can bear that but again what am i missing right now?
[21:55] <jrattner1> DM|, alright..it shows 78% in /media where all my music is....This makes sense but I have my music on another partition
[21:55] <iarwain1> ebirtaid: that's not nice
[21:55] <core64> K_Dallas: what do  you mean missing?
[21:55] <K_Dallas> and what this compiz is anyways, what is the old equivalent of it
[21:55] <iarwain1> ebirtaid: i hate you
[21:56] <ebirtaid> :( sorry
[21:56] <benjammin4> hi guys i need help
[21:56] <core64> benjammin4: ask away...
[21:56] <iarwain1> ebirtaid: apologies accepted
[21:56] <stefg> K_Dallas: might happen... but my feeling is that it's more a hardware problem. So get a new graphics adapter (read: a new notebook) to have compiz fusion running.
[21:56] <jrattner1> DM|, it also shows / as 100%
[21:56] <ebirtaid> kk
[21:56] <core64> could be a desktop
[21:56] <DM|> jrattner1 how big is your main partition
[21:56] <benjammin4> ok so i just installed ubuntu over vista and now i cant get back into vista thru the grub
[21:56] <K_Dallas> stefg, i just bought the darn thing
[21:56] <core64> lol
[21:56] <offipso> odd-rationale: Ah, in the device manager, then, you might have to look around.. I know a bit about my card, so I was able to find it quickly.. It was under "nForce 2 AGP" (the AGP bus of my motherboard) and "GeForce 7800 GS"
[21:56] <offipso> odd-rationale: Unfrotuantely I don't know any good way to find that..
[21:57] <DM|> Jrattner1 actually, post a screenshot of your BOABAB screen maximized, can use image shack for the SS
[21:57] <core64> stefg: do you have a link to the bug report regarding the Intel card?
[21:57] <stefg> K_Dallas: bad luck, but as a linux user you learn quickly to check your hardware for compatibility *first*
[21:57] <Odd-rationale> offipso: Thanks!
[21:57] <jrattner1> DM|, sure one momeny
[21:57] <offipso> np
[21:57] <benjammin4> the partition is still on my computer i just need to find a way to make grub realize its there
[21:57] <ebirtaid> so anyone use arch in here
[21:57] <stefg> core64: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/120834
[21:57] <core64> u rock...
[21:58] <ToHellWithGA> can i allow network manager to automatically access my keyring at login?
[21:58] <olegfink> hi, we were talking about user interfaces and such, and considered that everything in linux needs to have a frontend to be useful on desktop. Hence this http://rafb.net/p/O0oWHT88.html is proposed to all newbies instead of an old-style rm -rf / in console

[22:01] <PhinnFort> erUSUL: it makes all kind of bells and whistles start in all the operators clients
[22:01] <eth01> i'm booting my 7.10 machine, and it locks on a black screen, goes no further..
[22:01] <ompaul> LjL, got it
[22:01] <PriceChild> PhinnFort, erUSUL pardon?

[22:02] <wizofoz> is there some special reason i cannot type "_" on firefox logins or pidgin?
[22:02] <Andycasss> Is there any way to make my user equivalent to root? So i wouldnt have to type sudo everytime?
[22:03] <jrattner1> DM|, it wont let me save it anywhere
[22:03] <slowbmw> ubuntu vs centos? is this a good idea for learning the certs?
[22:03] <usser> Andycasss, this is not a good idea
[22:03] <corruptionoflulz> Andycasss: it's possible, but it's highly unrecommended.
[22:03] <ompaul> !root | Andycasss (what you suggest is a bad idea this might help you)
[22:03] <ubotu> Andycasss (what you suggest is a bad idea this might help you): 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
[22:03] <LjL> PhinnFort: he's the only user connect to that IP as far as i can see
[22:03] <stefg> Andycasss: no...
[22:03] <Andycasss> Thing is, I want my server to turn off when it reaches over 70C', but I cant use shutdown without sudo

[22:04] <DM|> jrattner1 well you have bigger problems than i thought, look at your "computer" under Places>Computer
[22:04] <PriceChild> Andycasss, your bios will shut the machine down when things get dangerous.
[22:04] <DM|> jrattner1 tell me how many HDDs you have their
[22:04] <benjammin4> How do I know which root my Windows Vista is under is it (hd0,0) or (hd0,1)
[22:04] <narothepharoh> how do i become root in a terminal?

[22:04] <Andycasss> Im a bit scared that my cpu/psu might fail when noone is at home...
[22:04] <offipso> haha
[22:04] <jrattner1> DM|, I see CD-RW/DVD+RW then 12.1 GB Volume: Music and then Filesystem
[22:04] <PriceChild> Andycasss, your bios will shut the machine down when things get dangerous.
[22:04] <offipso> @ the !root listing
[22:04] <JimboDeLimbo> when I mount an external usb hdd, it is always write protected because it says the owner is root
[22:05] <DM|> benjammin4 you can check your /boot/grub/menu.lst to see what HDD it boots up
[22:05] <core64> Andycasss: did you attempt to write a script to automate shutdown?
[22:05] <DM|> jrattner1 save the pic to Music volume
[22:05] <PriceChild> JimboDeLimbo, that's not standard behaviour.
[22:05] <Andycasss> core64: no, im not that skilled
[22:05] <jrattner1> DM|, ok I'll try brb
[22:05] <Marcusklaas> I have a question concerning Remote Desktop. I just tested my system in a local network and it works just fine. How can I login to it from the internet?
[22:05] <super-6-1> jimvoDeLimdo, restart your pc and plug it in that how mine works
[22:05] <ru_Val> hi everybody! Has anybody ubuntu installed  on AMD Turion 64 X2?
[22:05] <K_Dallas> stefg, i was googling and learning about compiz and stuff. it seems that gm965 is blacklisted but in which config file and what happens if i just uncomment it, could i recover from possible problems?
[22:05] <slowbmw> ebi: i don't even know... i'm at work, and in big trouble... even after resetting the jumpers i can't even get into bios
