[19:37] <storm-zen> Just installed exaile... added a plug in to take the task bar entry out (expecting it to dock it like amarok), and now I can't get to the player anymore... I'm sure I just don't know how... anyone use exaile?
[19:37] <Frederickrabbit> erUSUL: Thanks, what should I look for?
[19:38] <Bliepo> Hmm... I was just looking at dmesg when I saw this; "[ 2071.120204] usb 4-4: USB disconnect, address 4"

[19:38] <Bliepo> But I didn disconnect anything! strange...
[19:38] <Frederickrabbit> erUSUL: ok, I'll give it a shot
[19:39] <Bliepo> Why does it think that the wireless USB adapter got disconnected?

[19:51] <tyl3r> Hi folks. I have a latitude D630 with BMC4312 Wlan. Works fine with b43-fwcutter. Connection actually on the panel shows 1Mb/s which is actually wrong as a speed test at my provider show my downstream reaches about 15MBit....I have a 25Mbit line, I can reach about 22Mbit in a Windows system with windows wlan drivers. Any chance I can enhance the speed with ndiswrapper or some new broadcom driver? Also itś a bug that
[19:51] <tyl3r>  my connection information in ubuntu hardy on my wlan just shows 1Mb/s as it is definitely connected with more.
[19:51] <wols_> Leefmc: tasksel --task-packages lamp-server
[19:51] <Leefmc> wols_: That was produced from the command on that lamp page, .. searching
[19:51] <Leefmc> wols_: Yea, that command.
[19:52] <Leefmc> well maybe
[19:52] <Leefmc> lemme look to be sure.
[19:52] <sylic>  i have a 7600 GT Geforce card how do i access opengl config also i am new to using a Linux OS
[19:52] <Leefmc> nope :), lemme try

[19:53] <Leefmc> wols_: Ugh, never mind
[19:54] <Leefmc> wols_: Just for clarification, i was asking what in the output i was looking for (ie, did _you_ want to see something, etc.). I had already typed it before i was asking this question, because, as you see, i was asking what to look for. But nevermind :)

Actually, the display wouldn even care to me...I just like to get more performance out of the wlan. Already tried different channels, 108Mbit feature, g only etc....same result.

[19:56] <AeronTS> is there a book better than Rute for readers that want to be Ubuntu power users?
[19:57] <Flannel> vinicius: the program "screen"
[19:57] <vinicius> Flannel, got it, thanks :)
[19:57] <wols_>  vinicius run it under screen or use nohup
[19:57] <tyl3r> fyi, the speedtest is in an internal server from my provider, with cable I reach full 25Mbit...

[19:58] <xubean> hi all.. is there anybody who is really good with configuring sound and pulse audio on ubuntu hardy?
[19:58] <compengi> how could i check on what (hd?,?) my linux distros are installed if i got 2 distros, with no dual boot from grub and access to only kubuntu?
[19:58] <tyl3r> hmm ok....still, from the 54M connected only 16 reach at my laptop...well I think I just accept the 16mbit, think I can live with that ;)
[19:59] <wols_> compengi: boot a livecd and sudo fdisk -l
[19:59] <tyl3r> just use cable for usenet downloading then...
[19:59] <storm-zen> Just installed exaile... added a plug in to take the task bar entry out (expecting it to dock it like amarok), and now I can't get to the player anymore... I'm sure I just don't know how... anyone use exaile?
[19:59] <xubean> is there anybody who is really good with configuring sound and pulse audio on ubuntu hardy?
[19:59] <erUSUL> tyl3r: well yes when i said full speed i meant that i fully get my 3MBit connection XXDD
[19:59] <Flannel> compengi: check your respective fstabs? (assuming they're right).  Or you'll have to do a combination of fdisk -l with checking sizes of partitions etc (or just look at the contents of all the partitions)
[19:59] <tyl3r> ah ok ;)
[20:00] <tyl3r> so thats no issue for you hehe
[20:00] <compengi> wols_, can't be performed from the current running distro or only from livecd?
[20:00] <basd> hey all...I am trying to read-write to my NTFS partition...I installed NTFS-3G, however I still cannot read/write as the checkbox that says  "enable write support for internal device" is grayed out. Any thoughts??
[20:00] <Flannel> compengi: Sure it can.  Just mount the other partitions and look
[20:00] <compengi> Okay
[20:00] <xubean> is there anybody who is really good with configuring sound and pulse audio on ubuntu hardy?
[20:00] <wols_> compengi: can be done from current distro too

[20:02] <Leefmc> Good god, i tried to use taskel remove on the lamp stack and it damn near removed my entire ubuntu install loi.. i was not expecting that. Wonder why the lamp-server felt the need to leech into gnome and et al.
[20:02] <Flannel> basd: Do you have ntfs-config installed?
[20:02] <compengi> wols_, if i can see the partition where the other os is running as sda, what would that mean for (hd?,?)
[20:02] <Overand> I just reported my first bug!
[20:02] <wols_> compengi: usually hd0
[20:02] <Flannel> !helpersnack | Overand
[20:02] <ironyCurtain> basd: type mount at the command line
[20:02] <storm-zen> K, wols.  I'm running ubuntu..  Is that close enough?
[20:02] <compengi> wols_, btw it's an external hdd
[20:02] <wols_> storm-zen: for this channel: yes
[20:02] <ballzee> is there a way to auto remove dead links in apt-get ?
[20:03] <basd> Flannel: yes, I did "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" and it installed
[20:03] <Flannel> basd: dead links?
[20:03] <Leefmc> Great. It removed Terminal.
[20:03] <Flannel> er, ballzee: dead links?
[20:03] <wols_> ballzee: what are "dead links"?
[20:03] <sdwrage> hey all
[20:04] <Leefmc> Flannel: Is there a way to install many of the default ubuntu apps? I made the mistake of trying to remove lamp-server and learned that to remove the lamp server, i have to say goodbye to ubuntu. heh.
[20:04] <basd> Flannel: this is the line: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config"
[20:04] <Flannel> Leefmc: install ubuntu-desktop
[20:04] <dmoerner> Leefmc, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[20:04] <Leefmc> Flannel: How would i get to that?
[20:04] <Flannel> Leefmc: also install ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal, just to be sure
[20:04] <basd> Flannel: sorry: "/dev/sda1 on /media/disk-1 type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8)
[20:04] <basd> "
[20:04] <Leefmc> hmm, F1-6 might work
[20:04] <shyam_k> hi all.. can i add a normal user to any particular group to enable him to write to an external partition as it is mounted?
[20:04] <Flannel> Leefmc: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop, andyes, ctrl-alt-f1
[20:04] <shyam_k> by default,a normal user cant write to external partitions right?
[20:05] <ironyCurtain> basd: you need to mount it as type ntfs-3g, not ntfs
[20:05] <xubean> hi all, i'm trying to set up 6.1 surround sound on hardy, and I want to use my 2nd sound card, the creative audigy, but i can only play using the built in intel sound card, can anybody help me?
[20:05] <shyam_k> but i am dealing with an isolated home system,so security is not at all concern..
[20:05] <basd> ironyCurtain: thank you, that might be it. How can I mount as type ntfs-3g??
[20:05] <bombshelter13> shyam_K: what you probably actually want to do is find out what automounter you're using and set it to mount new partitions with the 'user' option
[20:05] <smm289> anyone know why my Pigeon icon is just a white box in the status tray
[20:05] <Bhavesh> i am running 7.10 server now, and mdadm raid 0 and raid 1 on seperate drives, i can wipe clean all partitions ( except /home) should i have any probelm if i do fresh install  of <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[20:06] <Overand> Bhavesh: in theory no, if you're extremey careful - b but why don't you want to just do an upgrade?
[20:06] <ironyCurtain> basd: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sd<whatever> /location/of/the/mount/point
[20:07] <xubean> i'm trying to set up 6.1 surround sound on hardy, and I want to use my 2nd sound card, the creative audigy, but i can only play using the built in intel sound card, can anybody help me?
[20:07] <TOPSECRET> hello, my gnome main menus have turned into only one icon for all three, how do i get applications and system back?
[20:07] <ironyCurtain> basd: and of course you can put the equivalent in your fstab to do it every boot
[20:07] <shyam_k> bombshelter13: is there any "standard" simpler way so that a non-techie can deal it with an ubuntu dvd and system in hand?
[20:07] <basd> ironyCurtain: thank you
[20:07] <Bhavesh> Overand i don't mind at all.. one reason is i have been just practicing different raid tools (dmraid /mdadm with lvm) i just want to get a clean start
[20:07] <bombshelter13> Bhavesh: as long as you don't mess with the drives, no. The disks have tags on them labelling them as raid members, and the new OS should assemble them just fine. I did it from Slack 10 to Ubuntu 7 with no problems
[20:07] <basd> ironyCurtain: how can I configure fstab?
[20:07] <TOPSECRET> how do I get applications places and system back?
[20:08] <ironyCurtain> basd: edit /etc/fstab and add a line with that information... it's really straightforward, but google is your friend if you have trouble
[20:08] <Bhavesh> bombshelter13 that's very helpful!! i don't have anything important on raid at the moment only on /home which iam not going to format,
[20:08] <Overand> Bhavesh: is /home on a seperate drive?
[20:08] <Leefmc> Flannel: So how do you uninstall something (like the lamp server stack) without destroying your system? Thats one thing that often frustrates me, sometimes i want to revert all of the installations involved with a program, without harming other programs.. how can it be done?
[20:08] <icedwater> Oh well, I'll try the forums :)
[20:09] <bombshelter13> Bhavesh: best time to try it is when there's nothing important on the raid, yes. :)  That way you can make sure you know how to do it before doing it on a real raid. But all things considered it should really be a lot simpler than you're expecting.
[20:09] <Bhavesh> Overand no /home is not on seperate drive, just different paritition and i know which paritition is mounted as which directory
[20:09] <bombshelter13> Bhavesh:I was expecting there to be something dificult but nah, I just reinstalled the os, turned on mdadm, and told it to scan and assemble arrays.
[20:09] <Overand> Bhavesh: really, your *best* bet is to move that data accross to another system, as a backup - 'just in case'
[20:10] <Overand> Bhavesh: theoretically you can do exactly what you're saying, though - you just have to be careful =]
[20:10] <Bhavesh> bombshelter13 that's why i have been testing different things out..now that i have better understanding i want to wipe it clean and start with fresh <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:10] <Flannel> Leefmc: well, lamp is actually pretty simple to remove by hand, but check out the autoremove feature of apt-get
[20:10] <Bhavesh> Overand the /home has about 8.4G of data should not take too long to move it
[20:10] <Xcerca> does steam with wine run really slow for anybody ?
[20:10] <bullgard4> erUSUL: Why "against"? A linux package is no adversary.
[20:10] <bombshelter13> Bhavesh: sounds good, you should be fine :)
[20:10] <Nechepsos> audio in youtube or any firefox session is gone.. video works fine and mplayer can play any mpegs etc with audio/video just fine. any ideas?
[20:10] <Leefmc> Flannel: Heh, i made the mistake of using the taskel remove feature, and it damn near screwed me.
[20:10] <Flannel> Leefmc: I have no idea why removing lamp from tasksel removed everything, that's a bug, and I'd be sure to file one.
[20:10] <Bhavesh> bombshelter13 thanks for reassurance :)
[20:10] <Bhavesh> Overand thanks for your help
[20:10] <shyam_k> bombshelter13: so its more to do than adding user to any particular group  such as plugdev?
[20:11] <Flannel> Leefmc: Or rather, you should be sure to file one.  Since really that doesn't make any sense.
[20:11] <Leefmc> Flannel: I killed the process before it could do too much harm heh.
[20:11] <arkadiusz> how can I register my nickname?
[20:11] <arkadiusz> in chat
[20:11] <shyam_k> bombshelter13: will adding user to root group help?!:)
[20:11] <Bhavesh> just thought about it.. i have a drive running on that machine that is not used anywhere, i can always back up the data there and
[20:11] <usser> Xcerca, yes steam itself is kinda slow... games like cs:s and hl2 should run fine though
[20:11] <bombshelter13> shyam_k: I don't know what plugdev is normally allowed to do... adding the user to group rout is probably not the right solution :/
[20:11] <smm289> if I add my user name to root group does that mean I will never have to enter in a password or sudo
[20:11] <leftyfb> ubuntu
[20:12] <Xcerca> usser alright , cool
[20:12] <Flannel> smm289: You don't want to do that.  And no, it won't.
[20:12] <shyam_k> i would like to get a doc about what these user groups refers too. i have been searching for a bit now.. couldnt reach it..
[20:12] <Leefmc> Flannel: Well for example, im trying to remove all the packages listed on the apache page. Aptitude then tells me its going to remove amarok, xine, ubuntu restricted, etcetc.. why?
[20:12] <Flannel> Leefmc: listed on the 'apache' page? which one's that?
[20:12] <arkadiusz> because they depend on that packages
[20:12] <basd> ironyCourtain: I get this message when I try to mount it using ntfs-3g: "fusermount: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[20:12] <basd> FUSE mount point creation failed"
[20:12] <scifiguy951> how can i search for comps on my router?

[20:13] <woli> hi
[20:13] <scifiguy951> ?
[20:13] <Xcerca> anybody have any luck manauly installing a usplash screen, like off of gnome-look of the like ?
[20:13] <woli> how do i configure the visual effects, like the desktop cube and such?
[20:13] <smm289> ok thanks
[20:13] <Leefmc> Flannel: Heh, i was told to use all that crap for a simple development environment, because xampp would cause so much harm, yet so far xampp is fine and this damn thing is driving me mad.
[20:13] <Flannel> Leefmc: Which packages are you removing, specifically? (just paste the single line here)
[20:13] <Flannel> Leefmc: Xammp isn't needed, what do you need help with with LAMP?
[20:14] <Leefmc> Flannel: Under "Starting over, How to remove the LAMP stack" on that page, the entire bit
[20:14] <Rezagrats> I need to help a friend but she's on a windows desktop. does ubuntu have Windows Remote Helping ?
[20:14] <Mr_Fixit> ok i'm using fluxbuntu and i want to set up wifi.. my wifi works and is connectable but i can't seem to find the router on the flux box
[20:14] <Xcerca> woli System > Prefrences> Apperance
[20:14] <Bhavesh> Rezagrats it has rdesktop ( remote desktop ) which can connect to a windows machine and login to remote desktop connection
[20:14] <Denise> put system back TOPSECRET?
[20:14] <bombshelter13> woli : system.->preverences->advanced descktop effects
[20:14] <Flannel> Leefmc: I'd say aptitude is doing something funky.  It's also possible that those programs depend on one of htose (perhaps one of the perl libs?)  try apt-get instead
[20:14] <bombshelter13> woli: if it's not there, 'sudo apt-get install ccsm'
[20:14] <Denise> again an error?
[20:15] <Flannel> bombshelter13: compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:15] <woli> thanks bombshelter13 and Xcerca
[20:15] <bombshelter13> flannel: corrected
[20:15] <smm289> anyone familiar with xps1330, have 802.11n and it worked fine under windows but in ubuntu it says connection is 54?  any ideas ??
[20:15] <Leefmc> Flannel: Well honestly, on that page im not seeing anything as easy/friendly as xampp, i have no need to a real lamp server setup, i just need to boot up a small php development environment for a short while. Xampp has been used for years for that, and its worked great, i dont wanna have to launch 10 things just to work on a php script. heh
[20:15] <scifiguy951> how can i scan for comps on my router?
[20:15] <bombshelter13> not to mention my other typos ;)
[20:15] <__mikem> Does anyone know of any software I can use to create my own gtk widget themes?
[20:15] <Leefmc> Flannel: apt-get remove, correct?
[20:15] <Flannel> Leefmc: You don'thave to launch 10 things, ... just install the half dozen packages, and you're off and running
[20:15] <woli> bombshelter13, are you sure that it is ccsm?
[20:15] <Flannel> Leefmc: yeah, but if you want, do -s first, so you can see what all will be removed
[20:16] <Flannel> Mr_Fixit: try #fluxbuntu
[20:16] <Overand> bombshelter13: no 'ccsm' - something similar mabe
[20:16] <bombshelter13> woli: as Flannel corrected me, it is actually 'compizconfig-settings-manager'
[20:16] <Overand> heh
[20:16] <alinet> how can i add new google widgets in the widget layer
[20:16] <alinet> ???
[20:16] <Leefmc> Flannel: that talks about the same thing, amarok, ubuntu-restricted, etc.
[20:16] <Xcerca> woli that is IF you have compiz installed
[20:16] <happyface0> hey
[20:16] <Mr_Fixit> only 26 ppl in #fluxbuntu.. and they are chatting about nintendo.. <-- i know cuz i'm there
[20:16] <Flannel> Leefmc: Pastebin the output please, I'll take a gander
[20:16] <alinet> compize already installed & layer widget also
[20:17] <lorph> i'm running edgy eft, and now my repositories say 404 what should i do
[20:17] <happyface> I installed ubuntu to an external hdd using the default installer. It installed the MBR to my main hard drive, but I removed that. How can I boot ubuntu by booting from a usb device?
[20:17] <Leefmc> Flannel: PMed
[20:17] <Flannel> Leefmc: since if its actually doing that with apt-get, that means you're removing a depend.  So its possible that the wiki page is in err. That "how to remove" bit is new (I've never seen it), so it could very well be.
[20:17] <Mr_Fixit> any wifi set up help?
[20:18] <Leefmc> Flannel: Ah
[20:18] <Orbixx> !wifi
[20:18] <Leefmc> Flannel: Well for now imma just use xampp, an hour or two of a development environment isn't worth all this hassle heh.
[20:19] <Otacon22> happyface, have you setted the usb disk as primary boot device in the bios?
[20:19] <woli> thanks Flannel, bombshelter13  and Xcerca ... PS: I have compiz
[20:19] <happyface> Otacon22: I tried booting from the usb device in the bios but it doesn't work
[20:19] <Flannel> Leefmc: Why?  First off, what's your actual problem with LAMP, why is it not working?
[20:20] <Leefmc> Flannel: At the moment, just a bunch of small crap, if i could remove it all and start over it would probably be fine, but its still more time invested than i care to heh :)
[20:20] <Flannel> Leefmc: alright, so, for one, (one reason it removed) libapr is a dependency of subversion, so... that "how to remove" bit is ... overzealous.  Assuming you don't have anything else depending on those.  I'm sure the others are similar situations
[20:20] <teddi> how do i add foreign characters o_O or is that just a matter of fonts?
[20:20] <Leefmc> Flannel: Ah, nice
[20:20] <Otacon22> happyface, you need to be sure that the bios boot the usb disk, then when you install ubuntu at the last page of installation config you need to click on advances and there is the grub conf, you need to check that grub will be installed into the usb hard disk
[20:21] <Flannel> Leefmc: sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2.2-common
[20:21] <Flannel> Leefmc: that'll more or less start you over as far as apache is concerned.
[20:21] <Aquahallic> ok.. if I broke my apt cache where packages aren't seeing deps and things... can someone tell me the cli to do a repair on it?
[20:21] <Flannel> Leefmc: but, if you gave specifics, we'll be able to help you better.
[20:21] <Otacon22> Flannel, apt-get purge  is equal to say apt-get remove <package> --purge ?
[20:21] <happyface> thanks Otacon22, but is there a way to install grub onto the usb device without reinstalling ubuntu?
[20:21] <bombshelter13> Flannel: if they have an app prepackaged to run well on XAMPP using the versions of the tools included with it, it's pretty reasonable to use it instead of the standalone packages....
[20:21] <Flannel> Otacon22: As of hardy, yes. (apt-get purge was added in hardy)
[20:22] <Otacon22> ah
[20:22] <Leefmc> Flannel: Maybe later, but if i am going to put any effort into getting an actual lamp stack up and running i'll set it up on my local server heh :)
[20:22] <Leefmc> Flannel: Im rather surprised ubuntu doesn't have a development environment like xampp ready to go
[20:22] <Flannel> bombshelter13: xampp isn't in the repos, and as such, you don't get security updates/etc.  It's a bad idea to use non-repos packages when there are better ways.
[20:22] <Otacon22> happyface, i don't rembember how, but you can: using the live cd you can reinstall just grub into the usb disk and check its config
[20:23] <happyface> thanks
[20:23] <Leefmc> Flannel: That is to say, 2 minutes up and running environment
[20:23] <Otacon22> you need to use a command like grub-install
[20:23] <Flannel> Leefmc: Its because you don't need them.  lamp stack works fine, and doesn't require the developers to duplicate their efforts for no reason
[20:23] <Flannel> Leefmc: LAMP is... two minutes and up and running.
[20:23] <Leefmc> Flannel: Ah
[20:23] <ganesh> when i double click on .deb package it gives an error libsso.9.7 dependency not satisfied
[20:23] <Flannel> Leefmc: If you had problems, you should ask and we can solve them.  Other than that, LAMP has no drawbacks, its not like its difficult
[20:23] <bombshelter13> Flannel: the app they're running on top of it probably isn't in the repos either, updating the underlying stack could potentially have a higher risk of breaking their app than just using what they know works.
[20:23] <Leefmc> Flannel: Well maybe i'll give it another go some other time then :), i just saw that they were all independant, etcetc. I didnt feel like starting and stopping multipl;e servers, etc.
[20:24] <lorph> how do i fix my repos
[20:24] <bombshelter13> Flannel: I'm certainly not saying that's how I'd do it if starting a new project, but if their app already is confirmed to run correctly on the setup, why not use it?
[20:24] <Flannel> Leefmc: You don't have to.  That's not how it works, but sure.
[20:24] <Bhavesh> i am loving ubuntu server ;)
[20:24] <Leefmc> Flannel: I did ask, but i got help from someone else hehe, sort of made me a bit brash atm :)
[20:24] <debasys> this is funny, i was browsing shop.canonical.com and saw the ubuntu t-shirts, i have an idea, if i can do some coding for someone and get one of those in return ;)
[20:24] <Bhavesh> which is default MTA for ubuntu server? postfix/exim/sendmail?
[20:24] <csa3d> any reason my none of my natilus folders seem to open
[20:24] <Leefmc> Flannel: Not nearly as friendly as you my friend hehe
[20:24] <bombshelter13> csa3d: probably yes.
[20:24] <Flannel> Leefmc: obviously they didn't fix whatever problem you had :)
[20:25] <Leefmc> Flannel: Made me frustrated and angry ;D
[20:25] <csa3d> bombshlter13:  awesome.. any idea where to start looking
[20:25] <csa3d> ;)
[20:25] <bombshelter13> csa3d: unforunatetly I'm not so sure about that part ;)
[20:25] <Flannel> Bhavesh: believe postfix is default, exim is also in main
[20:25] <onexused> I'm looking for a program that can resize all images in a directory to a specific size.  Is there one in the repo for this?  Or is there another one you'd recommend?
[20:26] <bombshelter13> csa3d: what is it doing instead of opening them?
[20:26] <shyam_k> all of my friends wants to use ubuntu to remove viruses in their usb..so write access to external partitions mounted without much hazzle can make their transition smoother..as they can avoid seeing gnu/linux still as a techie oriented OS..
[20:26] <Leefmc> Flannel: Imma download the ubuntu server cd and get my old machine up for a simple dev server later, i'll give the real lamp a whack then
[20:26] <ganesh> when i double click on .deb package it gives an error libsso.9.7 dependency not satisfied how to fix it?
[20:26] <qr> onexused: look into imagemagick, it's a suite of cli image manipulation tools.
[20:26] <Bhavesh> i have an existing server running with postfix/Mailscanner/clamav/spamassassin, any suggestions on best way to mirgrate the settings?
[20:26] <csa3d> also interesting, i have an update alert icon visible, and when I go "install all updates", enter my password, nothing seems to happen
[20:26] <Bhavesh> just copy /etc/appname/*.conf file over?
[20:26] <StoneApple> edman007: yes smaller platters... edman007 well besides the typical 15k rpm drive has platters in the 2.25" dia range, 10k rpm drives are in the area of 2.5" and 7200 are around 3.25"
[20:26] <onexused> qr: Thanks. I will.
[20:26] <StoneApple> oops
[20:26] <bombshelter13> csa3d: the more info you  can give about exactly how it's failing, the better chance we have of knowing what's wrong.
[20:26] <csa3d> bombshelter13:  when i try to open one from the places menu, nothing hapens
[20:27] <Leefmc> Flannel: As always, thanks a ton man. Your a king among men hehe :)
[20:27] <csa3d> it's almost as though the process dumped
[20:27] <lorph> can someone help me, my repo servers give me 404 now, what should i do
[20:27] <bombshelter13> csa3d: hmm, you specified local. Does it work for some ( I suppose remote ) locations?
[20:27] <Flannel> Leefmc: If you have problems with it, install a cli-only system from the alternate CD.  The server CD has less (well, as far as home computers are concerned) hardware compatability (because it adds 'real' server compat)
[20:27] <Flannel> Leefmc: no problem
[20:27] <scifiguy951> how can i scan for comps on my router?
[20:27] <Bhavesh> scifiguy951 define 'scan' for comps
[20:27] <qr> scifiguy951: you mean computers connected to the same network as you? Use nmap.
[20:27] <Flannel> bombshelter13: the scripts running on top of apache depend on apache for security, so it's a bit different as far as updates are concerned.  Also, there are a number of things that run on LAMP that are actually in the repos.
[20:28] <Leefmc> Flannel: Sounds good, is it possible to install the server cli without a monitor? (Possibly remotely?)
[20:28] <bombshelter13> scifiguy: ping everything in your subnet, or if you can be reasonably certain that everyone connected is using DHCP, check the DHCP leases on the router
[20:28] <csa3d> i cannot open any nautilus windows currently
[20:28] <Mr_Fixit> what about wifi trouble shooting?? i know how to set it the wifi but it's still not connecting..
[20:28] <krim> I'm trying to setup Samba to share files with a Windows computer and I right clicked the folder and chose to share it, but then what? I can't find any Samba configuration thingy in the System menu.
[20:28] <Flannel> Leefmc: Yes.  Although I can't do more than give you a page with a bunch of methods: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations
[20:28] <Playload> hi
[20:28] <droopsta915> does ubuntu have anything to keep track of my phone numbers and addresses?
[20:28] <Bliepo> hello, is my wireless working?
[20:29] <bombshelter13> csa3d: try openning a terminal and launching nautilus from there, it might be more informative about why it is failing
[20:29] <Bhavesh> for some reason mdadm keeps telling me /dev/hdd1 is busy
[20:29] <Flannel> Leefmc: theres a number of ways there, something should work in your situation.
[20:29] <Bhavesh> and i just partitioned it
[20:29] <Leefmc> Flannel: K thanks
[20:29] <compengi> Bliepo, seems so ;)
[20:29] <Bhavesh> going to get something to drink
[20:30] <Flannel> droopsta915: I'm sure it does, and I'm sure it has a couple.  I believe the default method would be through evolution.
[20:30] <Leefmc> Flannel: Most likely though, just dragging over a monitor would make it 10x simpler i assume?
[20:30] <Flannel> Leefmc: Probably, yeah.
[20:30] <Leefmc> Flannel: Righto :)
[20:31] <lorph> how do i fix this Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[20:31] <basd> hey all...I installed the NTFS config tool, but I still cannot write and read to the NTFS partition. Please help, this has been driving me mad for hours now
[20:31] <ganesh> how to install libsso.9.7?
[20:31] <Aquahallic> folks... I think I broke my synaptics... .I try to install xorg and it says:The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[20:31] <Aquahallic>   xorg: Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed
[20:31] <Aquahallic> E: Broken packages
[20:32] <csa3d> bombshelter13:that was it!  I got it from here.. bad env var
[20:32] <Aquahallic> is there a way to straighten out synaptics?
[20:32] <compengi> ganesh, search in repos, if it's not there then you need to install it seperately
[20:32] <shyam_k> bombshelter13: found this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-262696.html but that too is not having an answwer..
[20:32] <bombshelter13> csa3d: hmm, curious
[20:33] <compengi> lorph, wait till the server is back :)
[20:33] <csa3d> bombshelter13:  I had set a library path for a driver which was required for another app
[20:33] <bombshelter13> csa3d: Ah, there you go. :)
[20:34] <ganesh> compengi:  is not there how to install?
[20:34] <lorph> compengi: it has been down for over a month
[20:34] <hkais1> anyone here, who uses a kvm switch for a widely distributed server farm?
[20:34] <lorph> i would really like some help with this because i haven't been able to use apt-get forever
[20:34] <Playload> bye
[20:35] <jmichelsen> wols_:
[20:35] <jmichelsen> wols_: are you still around ?
[20:35] <fr33n0d3> hey guys, i need a cli ftp client that can do multiple files/folders upload recursively, it seems stand alone ftp command doesn't cut it,   any ideas?
[20:35] <compengi> lorph, i just checked. the server is not down. it's just that ubuntu doesn't support edgy anymore
[20:35] <lorph> compengi: so what can i do
[20:35] <wols_> jmichelsen: ?
[20:36] <jmichelsen> wols_: I was talking to you earlier today as Karly, you remember? I had boot problems
[20:36] <wols_> yes
[20:37] <jmichelsen> will i wasnt able to dl live cd but, installed ubuntu on diff hdd
[20:37] <krim> lorph: upgrade
[20:37] <jmichelsen> wols_: got a minute to look at my menu.lst on the other hdd?
[20:37] <ganesh> compengi: how do i install libsso.9.7?
[20:37] <compengi> lorph, as krim said. you can't do anything
[20:37] <lorph> isn't there some other repository
[20:38] <lorph> or can i just change edgy to gutsy
[20:38] <krim> lorph: only solution is to upgrade
[20:38] <lorph> i am using a vps under virtuozzo
[20:38] <hkais1> noone here who uses KVMs ?
[20:38] <compengi> ganesh, don't you have that library provided with the package you are trying to install?
[20:38] <shyam_k> http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2006-09/msg02631.html this one too ends without an answer,how to configure ubuntu's automounter to make every external media mounted to have write access for normal user..
[20:38] <ompaul> lorph, you could try, but you would be better to just download a new CD and actually start afresh it would be faster, and safer
[20:39] <krim> lorph: and 8.04 (Hardy) is the latest version, not 7.10 (Gutsy)
[20:39] <darkscrypt> i want to setup an ftpd with an account that uploads all files to /var/www
[20:40] <darkscrypt> and has the user httpd-data
[20:40] <darkscrypt> was wondering if that is possible
[20:40] <jmichelsen> wols_: even better, is there a way to show if the drive is even being recognized?
[20:40] <jmichelsen> wols_: from within ubuntu
[20:41] <darkscrypt> any ideas?
[20:41] <darkscrypt> or at least a place to look
[20:41] <prince_jammys> darkscrypt: try #ubuntu-server if you have no luck here.
[20:41] <lorph> ompaul: i can't upgrade myself, because virtuozzo doesn't let the vps owners upgrade the kernel
[20:42] <nano_> whenever i choose to hibernate my ubuntu laptop (hardy heron), instead of hibernating my system does a complete shutdown.  I suspect this is due to settings setup in my /etc/default/acpi-support file.....specifically for the variable called "HIBERNATE_MODE" .  Does anybody know how i can actually hibernate my system instead of doing a system shutdown?
[20:43] <shyam_k> this should really be a headache to non-techie users of ubuntu right? to dont have write access to externally mounted devices like usb..? what could be the standard way to overcome it?
[20:43] <ompaul> lorph, then you need to find a better provider
[20:43] <alittler> Java is just HATING my Linux box, any solutions?
[20:43] <krim> alittler: Give it flowers?
[20:43] <prince_jammys> jmichelsen: not sure what you're doing, but try 'sudo fdisk -l' to list partitions
[20:43] <mochabcha> hey i have ubuntu hardy but whenever i run KDE applications, the "Mac OSX" type bar shows up at the top.
[20:44] <mochabcha> this happens namely for Amarok, programs like knotes of course don't have that problem
[20:44] <mochabcha> how do I get that menu bar to go away
[20:45] <jmichelsen> prince_jammys: thanks, will what I had a problem with is i reformatted my pc, was running xubuntu8.04, used the same disk to format and reinstall and now wont recognize that hdd
[20:45] <dmoerner> mochabcha, it's somewhere in kcontrol
[20:45] <sdwrage> ok guys if you had to prefer a windows to linux terminal would you prefer putty or xterm
[20:45] <marbe800_> mochabcha: You could try installing kcontrol, then you can set the "theme" for your menu bars.
[20:45] <dmoerner> sdwrage, i would use urxvt
[20:45] <mochabcha> ok, thanks i'll try that
[20:45] <prince_jammys> jmichelsen: does 'sudo fdisk -l' show it?
[20:45] <wols_> lorph: update to feisty
[20:45] <jmichelsen> prince_jammys: it does not show it
[20:46] <wols_> jmichelsen: lspci -nn
[20:46] <jmichelsen> prince_jammys: dont know why tho, it finds it to install onto
[20:46] <Aquahallic> folks... getting this error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[20:46] <Aquahallic>   xorg: Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed
[20:46] <Aquahallic> E: Broken packages
[20:46] <Aquahallic> is there a way to repair this... looks like synaptics is choked
[20:46] <FloodBot1> Aquahallic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:47] <wols_> !info xserver-xorg
[20:47] <wols_> Aquahallic: you have broken repos
[20:47] <Aquahallic> yeah... any way to repair this problem?
[20:47] <jmichelsen> wols_: doesnt show either hdd that way, shows the ide and sata controller tho, but no scsi controller
[20:47] <Flannel> lorph: Even feisty won't be a solution for long.  Feisty will read EOL in a few months (October).  However while you're negotiating with them to not give you unsupported versions, you can use the edgy repos at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
[20:47] <wols_> Aquahallic: cjppse a dofferemt pme
[20:47] <wols_> Aquahallic: choose a different one
[20:47] <wols_> jmichelsen: then you don't have a scsi controller
[20:48] <darkscrypt> can a person have multiple people who own a single file or folder?
[20:48] <Flannel> lorph: But again, those releases *do* *not* contain updates, just packages.  All the vulnerabilities (and there are a few major ones that have been patched) still exist in edgy.
[20:48] <Aquahallic> where can I find a list of alternatives?
[20:48] <Flannel> darkscrypt: no, but the group owner can solve that
[20:48] <wols_> Flannel: it's a VPS. he's expected to update stuff himself usually
[20:48] <dmoerner> mochabcha, right click on the desktop -> Behavior -> disable Menu Bar at Top of Screen
[20:48] <jmichelsen> wols_: ubuntu installer finds it fine
[20:48] <Frederickrabbit> anybody know how to fix 'xgl not present' error or where I can look?
[20:48] <wols_> jmichelsen: then don't lie and say lspci doesn't
[20:49] <wols_> Frederickrabbit: what videocard?
[20:49] <mochabcha> i don't have kubuntu, i have ubuntu with gnome, thats the problem
[20:49] <Flannel> wols_: lorph said they won't let him upgrade the kernel.  Which... in itself is a huge red warning flag.  That's horrible security.
[20:49] <jmichelsen> wols_: it doesnt show it
[20:49] <wols_> Flannel: it's normal for VPS. can't be done otherwise. but he can at least update his suerland
[20:49] <wols_> *userland
[20:49] <wols_> jmichelsen: stop lying if you want my help
[20:50] <jmichelsen> wols_: wtf your problem, why would i be lying, i am here to ask for help
[20:50] <wols_> jmichelsen: cause your statements don't add up. so you must be lying. eliminate the impossible and what is left is the truth
[20:50] <jmichelsen> wols_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41958/
[20:51] <Flannel> wols_: a better possibility is a misunderstanding.  Please be nice.
[20:51] <Frederickrabbit> wols_: Radeon 7200
[20:51] <Frederickrabbit> wols_: sorry (kids)
[20:52] <wols_> jmichelsen: yes you did. line 20
[20:52] <wols_> jmichelsen: what kernel version?
[20:53] <jmichelsen> wols_: Linux michelsendt 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[20:53] <wols_> Frederickrabbit: does glxinfo show direct rendering? even if, the card might be way too old for compiz probably
[20:53] <Frederickrabbit> yes
[20:53] <jmichelsen> wols_: just cos I dont know that that intel thing is my DELL SCSI card doesnt mean im hiding facts
[20:53] <wols_> jmichelsen: same kernel as install CD
[20:53] <jmichelsen> wols_: yes
[20:53] <Frederickrabbit> wols_: It is supposedly supported.
[20:53] <wols_> jmichelsen: I didn't say you hid anything. I said you lied. which you did.
[20:53] <kenny> hello, can somebody help me with mounting a psp as read and write ?
[20:53] <dmoerner> Frederickrabbit, that card supports dri just fine i have it running on a box next to me.
[20:54] <wols_> jmichelsen: you should check your dmesg for any messages about megaraid, perc or any and all disk drives
[20:54] <John0Neil> Why did I have less workspace on Ubuntu than I have at the same resolution with XP?
[20:54] <wols_> Frederickrabbit: did you check if dri is enabled?
[20:54] <Santolina> is there a log file of all the commands I type and the messages returned? I want to look for something I did 3 hours ago ... but don't know why
[20:54] <compengi> wols_, i think he doesn't know what's PCI Bridge, that could he his situation :)
[20:54] <Santolina> don't know how
[20:54] <vyrgozunqk> cause you have one more panel ;)
[20:54] <compengi> be*
[20:55] <Frederickrabbit> dmoerner: ok.  I try running compiz check and first line says xgl not present
[20:55] <wols_> Santolina: does not exist normally
[20:55] <outbriber> John0Neil: Are you sure the resolution is the same?
[20:55] <wols_> Frederickrabbit: that's not what I asked
[20:55] <Frederickrabbit> wols_: how to check dri?
[20:55] <speaker``> hello,somebody help me..i try to change my themes..and i have install it..but its failed.somebody pls solve my problem.
[20:55] <John0Neil> outbriber: yes
[20:55] <wols_> Frederickrabbit: as I told you with glxinfo
[20:55] <dmoerner> Frederickrabbit, what is the ouput of just "compiz"?
[20:55] <Santolina> thanks wolds_ , how can I activate that kind of log file?
[20:55] <vyrgozunqk> John0Neil you have one momre panel in gnome, thats why ;)
[20:55] <Santolina> thanks wols_ , how can I activate that kind of log file?
[20:56] <jmichelsen> wols_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41961/
[20:56] <John0Neil> outbriber: maybe I need the nvidia propeitary driver?
[20:56] <wols_> Santolina: you'd have to write your own script to log it
[20:56] <speaker``> hello,somebody help me..i try to change my themes..and i have install it..but its failed.somebody pls solve my problem.
[20:56] <Frederickrabbit> dmoerner: looks the same
[20:56] <starenka> !pastebin
[20:56] <dmoerner> Frederickrabbit, there is no other error? just xgl not found?
[20:56] <compengi> !patience > speaker``
[20:56] <outbriber> John0Neil: That's what I'm using. If the resolutions are identical, there is the same amount of room.
[20:57] <wols_> jmichelsen: read what you pasted very carefully
[20:57] <John0Neil> ok
[20:57] <Santolina> wols_: so when I type the upper arrow key, and I got the previous commands, they are not being recovered from a file?
[20:57] <jmichelsen> wols_: i did, firmware update right?
[20:57] <Frederickrabbit> wols_: glxinfo gives long list what are you looking for?
[20:57] <John0Neil> outbriber: I will try with nvidia driver installed :) ty
[20:57] <wols_> Santolina: they are in the bash history
[20:57] <speaker``> sorry
[20:57] <dorcohen> hello, i install ubuntu and the username/password is wrong. how can i found the right one?
[20:57] <Santolina> and that is in memory?
[20:57] <wols_> Frederickrabbit: glxinfog |grep direct
[20:57] <outbriber> John0Neil: You might, as vyr said, have more than one toolbar or something that is taking up room.
[20:57] <wols_> Frederickrabbit: glxinfo |grep direct

[21:00] <Aquahallic> wols_: I just copied my sources.list from my other box upstairs and pasted it into this one... then did apt-get update...and I'm still getting the same thing...
[21:00] <slipttees> !paste
[21:00] <Bhavesh> back up is on it's way :) still have problem as the mdadm doesn't build raid1, /dev/hdd1 : device or resource busy
[21:00] <jmichelsen> wols_: if the firmware update is what you are hinting at, check the link, its long broken BUT that aside, I installed from this same install disc less than a month ago and it worked fine, why now could it just lose the hdd?
[21:00] <dorcohen> wols_:there is no code in the recovery mode who can find it?
[21:00] <Aquahallic> is there a way for me to clean the cache and have synaptics go and check what's installed and rebuild it?
[21:00] <Frederickrabbit> dmoerner: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41963/
[21:00] <user01> can someone help me to get s-video out to work with fglrx?

[21:02] <slipttees> Tami: entra no #ubuntu-br
[21:02] <wols_> dorcohen: you can't. you delete the ubuntu partition and reinstall the windows bootloader
[21:02] <dmoerner> Frederickrabbit, that is a known bug with the version of the radeon driver in hardy. you can only use compiz on 1024x768. this is fixed in intrepid
[21:02] <kenny> Can Someone help me mount my Playstation Portable in read write in ubuntu 8.04 ?
[21:02] <compengi> !pt > Tami
[21:02] <Frederickrabbit> wols_: rendering yes
[21:02] <lorph> hmm i switched my sources.list from edgy to hardy, so far so good
[21:02] <mochabcha> are there any free programs for linux (or whatever) that allow you to make a windows pc recovery disc
[21:02] <wols_> lorph: not good. it WILL break. you cannot update frm edgy straight to hardy
[21:02] <Frederickrabbit> dmoerner: oh, ok.  thanks
[21:02] <lorph> wols_: why, what could happen
[21:02] <wols_> lorph: it will break. the end
[21:03] <erUSUL> dmoerner: just remove/reformat ubuntu's partition(s)
[21:03] <Frederickrabbit> dmoerner: so, no fix on my part?
[21:03] <lorph> wols_: how will i know when it breaks
[21:03] <sdwrage> how do I remove a directory?
[21:03] <wols_> lorph: you will come here crying and no one can help youz
[21:03] <wols_> sdwrage: rmdir
[21:03] <erUSUL> dmoerner: then use the supergrubdisk or a windows installation cd to fix the windows bootloader
[21:03] <dmoerner> Frederickrabbit, you cannot do anything to fix it other than waiting for intrepid or living with 1024 x 768
[21:04] <dmoerner> erUSUL, why are you sending me these messages/
[21:04] <lorph> wols_: can you be more specific
[21:04] <Tami> alguem tc portugues

[21:04] <erUSUL> dmoerner: sorry were for dorcohen
[21:04] <prince_jammys> !pt | Tami
[21:04] <Aquahallic> wols_: any way to repair this synaptics??? I replaced the repos with know good from machine upstairs... still same problem
[21:04] <wols_> lorph: something will break. no one can know it beforehand.most probably when you try to upgrade something
[21:04] <wols_> lorph: if you continue, you are on your own in unsupported territory. good luck
[21:05] <wols_> Aquahallic: apt-get update
[21:05] <Aquahallic> did...
[21:05] <wols_> Aquahallic: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg
[21:05] <slipttees> hi, i have problem install ubuntu in my laptop CCE J74a...doen't find my hard disk from install ubuntu.
[21:06] <lorph> how can a repository be so different, did ubuntu change OS apis
[21:06] <kenny> is there a mp3 player like xmms that has a deb install ?
[21:06] <slipttees> type f6 in boot and add line all_generic_ide, too doesn't work.
[21:06] <erUSUL> kenny: bmp or audacious

[21:07] <slipttees> hi, i have problem install ubuntu in my laptop CCE J74a...doen't find my AHCI hard disk from install ubuntu.
[21:07] <wols_> sdwrage: you can't

[21:07] <unop> sdwrage, you need rm -r for that
[21:07] <sdwrage> ok
[21:07] <sdwrage> thx
[21:07] <sdwrage> unop, I did rmdir folder -p
[21:08] <sdwrage> and it said "Failed to remove directory. Directory not empty"

[21:08] <Aquahallic> wols_: sorry... http://pastebin.com/m67999099

[21:09] <sdwrage> thx unop
[21:09] <kenny> audacious did the trick thanks eh :)
[21:09] <sebastian_> hi
[21:10] <compengi> !welcome
[21:10] <sebastian_> how can i make openoffice writer autocorrect in swedish?
[21:10] <Aquahallic> so how come when I go into synaptic it doesn't show it as being installed... that's my problem
[21:10] <wols_> Aquahallic: dpkg -l|grep xserver-xorg
[21:12] <Aquahallic> http://pastebin.com/m4f8e4910
[21:13] <dmoerner> Aquahallic, it is not installed but its configuration files are still present on the system
[21:13] <wols_> Aquahallic: apt-get install xorg
[21:13] <Aquahallic> yeah... errors... sec... I'll paste it
[21:13] <wols_> Aquahallic: you messed with bad repos
[21:14] <sebastian_> try aptitude
[21:14] <wols_> 1:1.3.1+git20080524.ef7873db-0ubuntu0tormod2    is NOT a ubuntu repo
[21:14] <wols_> or rather, not frm a ubuntu repo
[21:14] <Aquahallic> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[21:14] <Aquahallic>   xorg: Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed
[21:14] <Aquahallic> E: Broken packages
[21:14] <Bhavesh> how the hack does the installation cd remember hostname i had given before?!
[21:14] <erUSUL> Aquahallic: check system>admin>softare sources
[21:14] <wols_> Aquahallic: either remove the non ubuntu packages or reinstall
[21:15] <Aquahallic> I removed the repo I had in there that was probably causing the problem
[21:15] <dmoerner> Aquahallic, but you didn't remove the packages from that repo. that's the problem.
[21:15] <wols_> Aquahallic: no, the problem was you installed pacakges from that repo
[21:16] <Aquahallic> right
[21:16] <John0Neil> My network(wired) have stopped working just after I have installed nvidia restricted driver with the ubuntu wizard. What can I do?
[21:16] <Bhavesh> here 's a question
[21:16] <wols_> John0Neil: what NIC driver?
[21:17] <Twinity> hi there
[21:17] <Aquahallic> so my question is.. how on earth do I find the packages that are not ubuntu packages??
[21:17] <Bhavesh> 7.10 names the hdd's in order /dev/hda/b/c/d, but 8.04 names it in /dev/sda
[21:17] <John0Neil> wols_, no idea. defaut with installation
[21:17] <giuseppe-karin> ciao a tutti
[21:17] <Bhavesh> is it goign to screw up anything
[21:17] <wols_> John0Neil: there is no "default"
[21:17] <wols_> Bhavesh: depends. fstab shouldn't use sdX but UUIDs
[21:17] <DrRobotnik> f
[21:17] <wols_> same for menu.lst
[21:18] <John0Neil> wols_: Ubuntu have installed everything. The network was working ok before the nvidia restricted driver installation
[21:18] <giuseppe-karin> ciaooooooooooooooooo
[21:18] <torus> hi
[21:18] <Aquahallic> is there a way for me to findout what packages came from that repo so I can snatch them back out?
[21:18] <wols_> John0Neil: I don't care. there is no "default" and nvidia drivers don't mess with ethernet drivers
[21:18] <Bhavesh> wols_ i am trying to full clean install of 8.04.1 over 7.10 (ie formatting everything)
[21:18] <wols_> Bhavesh: then no
[21:18] <John0Neil> wols_: I am on my XP system now, I don't have access to Ubuntu.
[21:19] <wols_> John0Neil: I don't care. either you can answer my question or you help yourself. good day
[21:19] <John0Neil> damn
[21:19] <wols_> or third option, find someone else
[21:19] <Bhavesh> wols_ good.. even if things change it's ok since i don't have anything important
[21:19] <giuseppe-karin> ciaoooooooooooooo
[21:19] <wols_> Bhavesh: the fresh install will take care
[21:19] <torus> anyone knows what SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory means? I try to get wlan up and running and i get this error-message almost each time I try to start up the wlan device.
[21:19] <Bhavesh> YAY :)
[21:19] <wols_> giuseppe-karin: do you have a ubuntu related question? (in english!)
[21:19] <Bhavesh> let the install rip :)
[21:20] <wols_> torus: that there is no wlan device (or whatever other device you tro to get up)
[21:20] <giuseppe-karin> no
[21:20] <wols_> giuseppe-karin: then be quiet
[21:20] <torus> wols: iwconfig shows a wlan0 device.
[21:20] <giuseppe-karin> italy
[21:20] <outbriber> wols_, please just be nice, will you?
[21:20] <Rammy> wols_, thanks. I took your advice and it worked perfectly for me. Much appreciated mate.

[21:22] <Bhavesh> w3rd_ great i will keep the parition as it is now
[21:22] <outbriber> John0Neil: I'm not sure why a nvidia driver would disable your internet, I suspect something else happened.
[21:22] <Guest19712> does anyone know how i could get the default xorg.conf from the installation>
[21:22] <Guest19712> ?
[21:22] <wols_> giuseppe-karin: delete your xorg.conf
[21:22] <giuseppe-karin> non ce ubuntu it da me
[21:22] <wols_> giuseppe-karin: and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:23] <Guest19712> wols_: same for me?
[21:23] <compengi> wols_, Guest19712 ;)
[21:23] <wols_> PriceChild: can you escort giuseppe-karin to a italian channel? he constantly ignores reminders
[21:23] <Guest19712> in recovery mode, i tried several times to remove xorg.conf and to run xfix
[21:23] <Guest19712> it worked
[21:23] <wols_> Guest19712: yes for you
[21:23] <wols_> Guest19712: sorry
[21:23] <Guest19712> but now it does not work anymore
[21:23] <wols_> !doesn't work > Guest19712
[21:23] <John0Neil> outbriber: When I think to this, I have also installed XChat, maybe it have changed something. I will try to desinstall it
[21:24] <Guest19712> ubottu: i saw it... sorry...
[21:24] <wols_> John0Neil: that doesn't change anything either
[21:24] <outbriber> John0Neil: Did you try looking at your network settings after the net didn't work?
[21:24] <akashii1> Hello.. I have trouble receiving DVB-T transmissions on Ubuntu 8.04
[21:25] <John0Neil> outbriber, yes. manual setup don't change anything

[21:26] <chao1> And I have a Nvidia GeForce4
[21:26]  * Bhavesh keeping fingers crossed
[21:26] <sebastian_> how do i open my extern hardrive when it has a space, in the terminal?
[21:26] <jpinx> I'm running a dual boot XP and Feisty FAwn on my desktop and I think I have a virus in XP that shutsdown the computer after a few minutes from booting. I am getting the same problem in Ubuntu - is it possible that the virus has infected Ubuntu as well?
[21:26] <Twinity> escape the space, sebastian_
[21:26] <sebastian_> jpinx i dont think so
[21:26] <cwill747> !virus | jpinx
[21:26] <sebastian_> so i just write externdrive?
[21:27] <wols_> jpinx: no it's not. it's a hardware problem most likely
[21:27] <Twinity> no, use "foo\ bar" instead of "foo bar"
[21:27] <Bhavesh> jpinx most likely you have some hardware issue.. could be over heating, or memory going bad
[21:27] <sebastian_> perhaps if u have a new hardware?
[21:27] <assargadon> How can I force my computer to shut down when my wget download will be completed?
[21:27] <John0Neil> outbriber - wols_ : I will try to restart it, just find the command. Maybe it will correct the problem
[21:27] <outbriber> John0Neil: If the net settings are still the same, the nvidia driver or xchat didn't do anything. I would suggest a few internet specific checks, such as making the ethernet cable is plugged in, etc, unless it is dual boot with XP.
[21:28] <outbriber> John0Neil: Restarting is a good place to start.
[21:28] <assargadon> Should I use something like: wget {blabla} | shutdown {blabla} ?
[21:28] <wols_> assargadon: no
[21:28] <akashii1> I'm running Hardy 8.04, trying really hard to view DVB-T transmissions. The driver is loaded but when I try scanning for channels I get the following error "main:2247: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory" is there something I can do to resolve this?
[21:28] <assargadon> well, I know | used for input-output redirection....
[21:28] <sdwrage> Where is the php.ini usually located defaulty on an ubuntu box?
[21:29] <LetsGo67> How do I rip a VHS to Vorbis or some kinda video codec, please?
[21:29] <Twinity> sdwrage, /etc/php5/conf.d/php.ini
[21:29] <wols_> assargadon: not here. very wrong your idea
[21:29] <sebastian_> how do i open a folder in the terminal if the name has spaces?
[21:29] <assargadon> maybe it should be .sh script with two this lines?
[21:29] <sdwrage> thx Twinity
[21:29] <dmoerner> sebastian_, use \ to escape the spaces, e.g. cd hello\ world
[21:29] <wols_> sebastian_: cd folder\ with\ spaces
[21:29] <Twinity> /etc/php5/apache2 i mean^^
[21:29] <wols_> assargadon: yes
[21:29] <sebastian_> ok thx :D
[21:30] <favro> assargadon: you need to use sudo to run the shutdown command
[21:30] <bubaphex> any one have a link handly for a walk thru on setting up httpd php mysqld and FTP ?

[21:31] <slipttees> hello
[21:31] <duiu> So I installed the linux-restricted-drivers packages, which installed the nVidia propreitary drivers, and I enabled them under the hardware manager. I rebot was required, and then after that Ubuntu booted into Low-graphics mode. I tried manually configuring the stuff, but I'm still stuck at 800x600 resolution. My xorg.conf file is configured for the correct resolutions, but they don't show...
[21:31] <duiu> ...under the resolution manager. Also, the nVidia drivers have dissappeared in teh hardware manager, even though the package is still installed. Any suggestiosn on how to fix this, or even just revert?
[21:31] <assargadon> greate :)
[21:31] <sebastian_> dmoerner: that dont work either :p
[21:31] <bdunlap> gnea, i contacted acer and asked if my specific model (via serial number) has bluetooth onboard and the answer is no. "the models that ship in the US and Canada do not come with bluetooth modules on the motherboard"
[21:31] <Bhavesh> what's recommended way to migrate configuration of existing apps to new build ? stuff in /etc ?
[21:31] <moonlitaura> Hi there, a little bit of an odd question but I'm not sure how to word it for a search. How can I disable the behavior where the desktop changes to a different layer when I press the vertical scroll pad on my mouse/trackpad?
[21:31] <wols_> !doesn't work > sebastian_
[21:31] <slipttees> wols_: work now :D

[21:32] <wols_> !anyone > monostone
[21:32] <sebastian_> dmoerner: it says no such file or folder
[21:32] <Twinity> sudo apt-get intsall nvidia-xconfig
[21:32] <dmoerner> monostone, change the default depth to 24
[21:32] <sebastian_> dmoerner: the name is EXTERN DISK i tryed EXTERN\DISK
[21:32] <rubystallion> I manually compiled the newest kernel and now the nvidia driver doesn't work anymore. I doesn't even appear in the restricted drivers manager. What's wrong?
[21:32] <slipttees> boot parameter use ==>   all_generic_ide pnpbios=off acpi=off irqpool noapic nolapic
[21:32] <dmoerner> sebastian_, no. cd EXTERN\ DISK
[21:32] <wols_> sebastian_: that is NOT what you've been told
[21:32] <Twinity> sebastian_, try cd EXTERN\ DISK
[21:32] <slipttees> wols_:  :D thx for support
[21:33] <sebastian_> dmoerner: ya i tried cd :p
[21:33] <dmoerner> rubystallion, you will have to recompile it yourself for a custom kernel. use module assistant
[21:33] <wols_> rubystallion: you compiled your own kernel now you must compile nvidia drivers from source too using m-a
[21:33] <Bhavesh> installing samba at install time or later after reboot, does it make any difference?
[21:33] <wols_> Bhavesh: no
[21:33] <sdwrage> how do you start editing something in vim, save it and then exit?
[21:33] <Bhavesh> thanks
[21:33] <rubystallion> dmoerner: wols_: Okay, I'll try
[21:33] <wols_> sebastian_: use nano
[21:33] <erUSUL> Bhavesh: no afaics
[21:33] <dmoerner> sdwrage, vim test, then :x or ZZ or :wq to write changes and quit
[21:34] <Bhavesh> i have used debian for ages, so i don't think i will have problem with ubuntu either
[21:34] <klndz3> When turned on my laptop, I was notified that 99% of my disk space was used up. Yesterday, it was probably only close to 65%. Is there some disk manager tool that I can use to locate what happened, or is there a fix to this problem?
[21:34] <Twinity> sdwrage, press esc and then :q for quit or :w for save
[21:34] <wols_> klndz3: df. du. especially check log dirs
[21:34] <sebastian_> Twinity: now it works
[21:34] <sebastian_> thx :)
[21:34] <Twinity> great ^^
[21:34] <Bhavesh> klndz3 on a terminal type df -h that will give you mount point for each partition and how much u are using
[21:34] <erUSUL> klndz3: disk analizer in Applications>accesories
[21:35] <br10ta10_> klndz3, try dirstat also
[21:35] <sdwrage> are there any differences between vi and vim
[21:35] <sdwrage> ?
[21:35] <sdwrage> because I have a small book on vi
[21:35] <wols_> sdwrage: yes
[21:35] <Twinity> vim based on vi
[21:35] <Circs> zelrikriando: Hey changing that setting to disabled instead of auto in my bios fixed my sound thanks
[21:35] <rubystallion> wols_: Can I automate the nvidia driver installation, so that it always happens when I compile a new kernel?\
[21:35] <wols_> rubystallion: no
[21:35] <duiu> Twinity: Where is nvidia-xonf?
[21:35] <klndz3> wols_ Bhavesh, erUSUL, br10ta10, I will do that, and get back to all of you in a sec
[21:35] <Twinity> duiu, sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
[21:36] <Bhavesh> np
[21:36] <Twinity> duiu, then you can run # nvidia-xconfig
[21:36] <dmoerner> wols_, i thought if you used module-assistant it would add a hook to /etc/kernel
[21:36] <rubystallion> wols_: Hmm, would you still recommend building a custom kernel?
[21:36] <dmoerner> to rebuild the driver on apt upgrade
[21:36] <wols_> rubystallion: no we don't
[21:36] <Bhavesh> ok grub error 21 on first boot after ubuntu <IP_ADDRESS> install
[21:36] <klndz3> br10ta10_ there is no dirstat command
[21:36] <sdwrage> ok one more question. How do I change a folder to be writable?
[21:36] <wols_> !permissions > sdwrage
[21:36] <erUSUL> rubystallion: just make it part of the kernel compilation process "make; make install; make modules_install ; mkinitramfs .... ;(reboot) ./nvida-installer -K (reboot)" XXDD
[21:37] <duiu> Twinity: to do that it has to remove nvidia-glx-new, which is what I think the driver is...
[21:37] <sdwrage> thx
[21:37] <rubystallion> erUSUL: that sounds good
[21:37] <Twinity> duiu, nvidia-xconfig is just a gui for configuration
[21:37] <wols_> erUSUL: unsupported
[21:37] <wols_> rubystallion: it's not. he is very mistaken
[21:38] <rubystallion> wols_: Why? Can you please explain?
[21:38] <wols_> rubystallion: no. I don't explain stupid ideas
[21:38] <Twinity> duiu, i had the same problem as you but nvidia-xconfig helped me much ;)
[21:38] <duiu> Twinity: I know, but when I do apt-get install nvidia-xconfig, it says "the following packages will be removed 'nvidia-glx-new'
[21:38] <br10ta10_> klndz3, google it. its a download. graphical view of what du provides.
[21:38] <wols_> and his was one
[21:38] <erUSUL> wols_: i know but he's already compiling his own kernels so ...
[21:38] <mano> how do i pass kubuntu to spanish? ive been using ubuntu wiith gnome now want to use kde so i installed kubuntu-desktop but its all in english!! i dont know who to speak ingles... :S
[21:38] <klndz3> br10ta10_ ah
[21:38] <Twinity> duiu, i think thats not the problem. it works fine for me
[21:38] <Bhavesh> nevermind fixed it
[21:38] <erUSUL> !es | mano
[21:39] <assargadon> mmmm...is there any way to recognize, if any shutdown was planned?
[21:39] <Bhavesh> grub was some how installed on root hd(3,0)
[21:39] <rubystallion> wols_: erUSUL: I can still change my mind, I just need to think about the pros and cons
[21:39] <duiu> Twinity: Ok, i'm install nvidia-xconfig
[21:39] <Bhavesh> changed it to hd(0,0)
[21:39] <dmoerner> erUSUL, debian and ubuntu kernels should be compiled with calls to make-kpkg or debian/rules if you have to roll your own
[21:39] <Bhavesh> should i open a bug report or something?
[21:39] <rubystallion> wols_: Didn't you ever try that stupid idea yourself?
[21:40] <erUSUL> dmoerner: i have my way since 2.0.xxx kernels ;P on red hat 5.0 all vanilla nothing distro especific (except initrd)
[21:40] <wols_> rubystallion: I never told other people to do it like erUSUL did
[21:40] <dmoerner> erUSUL, this is #ubuntu, not #redhat-antiques
[21:41] <erUSUL> rubystallion: wols_ ok i take my words back stick to supported configurations
[21:41] <erUSUL> dmoerner: ok
[21:41] <rubystallion> erUSUL: Do you do that yourself? And why would you recommend it?
[21:42] <rubystallion> erUSUL: I'm a student so investing a little time in the beginning wouldn't be a problem if it pays off in the end ;-)
[21:42] <erUSUL> rubystallion: i do and i do not recomend it i just saying how to do it if you are willing to cope with all the things that can go wrong
[21:42] <kiru> do there exist any performance tests for ubuntu systems?
[21:42] <Ubuntu777> can anyone please help me I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu and windows Xp when I boot to Xp it begins to load then a black screen appears. I can boot into Ubuntu fine, but cannot boot to Xp.
[21:42] <rubystallion> erUSUL: okay
[21:42] <Twinity> Ubuntu777, which bootloader are you using?
[21:43] <Ubuntu777> Grub I think
[21:43] <Twinity> then check your menu.lst
[21:43] <Ubuntu777> where do I go
[21:43] <Twinity> Ububegin, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:44] <Twinity> hu
[21:44] <Twinity> Ubuntu777, i mean :>
[21:44] <thomashartman1> I can't get my keyboard to switch to polish layout.
[21:44] <thomashartman1> Or any layout actually.
[21:45] <thomashartman1> I did the obvious in system -> preferences -> keyboard but it didn't work.
[21:45] <thomashartman1> I even have the "keyboard layout switcher" on my taskbar and it says "polish".
[21:45] <thomashartman1> but I don't get polish letters whenI type.
[21:45] <thomashartman1> I also restarted my computer but no dice.
[21:45] <thomashartman1> any ideas?
[21:45] <Twinity> any errors, thomashartman1?
[21:45] <Ubuntu777> I don't know where to place the info you gave
[21:45] <thomashartman1> NO.
[21:46] <Twinity> mh.. checked log files?
[21:46] <thomashartman1> where are log files?
[21:46] <Twinity> thomashartman1, /var/log
[21:47] <thomashartman1> that's a directory...
[21:47] <Ubuntu777> is it in system log
[21:47] <guntbert> Ubuntu777: Twinity said : look at /boot/grub/menu.lst, you can pastebin it
[21:48] <guntbert> Ubuntu777: no, open a terminal and type cat  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:48] <misteralexander> How do I delete folders owned by "Root"?
[21:49] <oobracadoobra> i have an interesting question. when i switched to linux i was impressed that if an app froze, it didnt slow/cripple the entire system, which frequently happens in windows. anyone have details why?
[21:49] <Twinity> misteralexander,  sudo rm -dR dir
[21:49] <Bhavesh> what does -R do in rm?
[21:49] <Ubuntu777> is it gnome
[21:50] <Bhavesh> recursive?
[21:50] <Twinity> Bhavesh,  recursive
[21:50] <guntbert> misteralexander: but make sure that you KNOW what yur are doing !
[21:50] <erUSUL> Bhavesh: recurse through the directory (sub)tree
[21:50] <Bhavesh> is it not dangerious to tell someone to do that as root?
[21:50] <oddalot> because bill gates hates you
[21:50] <Bhavesh> ganderous i mean
[21:50] <misteralexander> Twinity: Great, it worked fine . . . thanks!  Yeah, I was removing some directories I created in /media for a partition I'm no longer using.
[21:50] <Bhavesh> misteralexander just be careful using that command everywhere
[21:51] <Bhavesh> nevermind
[21:51] <guntbert> Bhavesh: yes it could be dangerous
[21:51] <moonlitaura> Hi, can anyone help me with disabling the behavior where the workspace changes when I use the vertical scroll mouse button on the desktop?
[21:51] <Bhavesh> thought so.. i normally make someone new to linux go through each folder and delete it manually
[21:51] <JDahl> somehow wireless support stopped working in Gnome.  When I click the network icon,  it only shows "wired network" - the "wireless network" button has disappeared
[21:52] <JDahl> any suggestions on how to reenable it?
[21:52] <geodome> restarting linux doesn't work?
[21:52] <geodome> 1. check if ur wireless card is actually on
[21:52] <JDahl> geodome, no, I've been living with it for about a week,  and wireless is on
[21:53] <Loirah> Oi
[21:53] <erUSUL> JDahl: iwconfig shows a wireless interface?
[21:53] <Ubuntu777> Twinity I got the terminal working what is the info you need
[21:53] <geodome> does iwconfig show anything?
[21:53] <Twinity> Ubuntu777, um.. what was your question again? :)
[21:53] <JDahl> erUSUL, yes,  Tx-power=27dBm , frequency 2.412ghz,  but black ESSID and NICKNAME
[21:53] <Loirah> Oi denise?
[21:54] <Denise> yes
[21:54] <erUSUL> JDahl: so is network manager malfunctioning ....
[21:54] <Optimus55> sry, i was asking earlier, why does a frozen app in windows slow/freeze a system but in linux only the specific app is usually affected?
[21:54] <Loirah> Orkut
[21:54] <Twinity> ah ok
[21:54] <Loirah> http://www.orkut.com.br/Profile.aspx?uid=11743077767810791384 eu sou essa ai
[21:54] <ikonia> Loirah: not here please.
[21:55] <Twinity> Ubuntu777, post everything that has to do with your win xp
[21:55] <JDahl> erUSUL, yes, I suspect it's something with gnome that went wrong.  Do you know the CLI method of listing available wireless networks - as a test?
[21:55] <Loirah> olha pessoal me passa seu orkut qm tiver??
[21:55] <erUSUL> Optimus55: too large an answer for irc i guess ... but basically (simplifying too much )windows has the gui included in the kernel (to make it faster) linux has not and many other details
[21:55] <Ubuntu777> I have win xp home edition with I cannot boot to
[21:55] <ikonia> !br | lordnoid
[21:55] <ikonia> oops
[21:56] <erUSUL> JDahl: well everything is done with iwconfig and iwlist
[21:56] <erUSUL> JDahl: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan"
[21:56] <lgbr> I installed ubuntu 6.06 (just because I had the disc laying around) and immediately upgraded to 8.04. However the network manager seems way outdated still, despite everything else being up to date. How can I fix this?
[21:56] <jochenh> Hi! I have a problem with playing videos.It is much to slow, so cant do full screen...
[21:56] <dmoerner> lgbr, what is way outdated to you? hardy doesn't have nm 0.7 if that is what you want
[21:56] <Twinity> Ubuntu777, could you paste me your menu.lst in priv?
[21:56] <Anonymous511> haha
[21:56] <Anonymous511> sry
[21:57] <lgbr> dbglt: I can't browse wireless access points, for example
[21:57] <Anonymous511> just testing here sry
[21:57] <Optimus55> erUSUL: thanks man. from that little bit i can understand why. any more info? a website link or sum?
[21:57] <lgbr> dmoerner:
[21:57] <ikonia> Anonymous511: please don't, there are other channels for that
[21:57] <klndz3> wols_ Bhavesh, erUSUL, br10ta10, Hmmm, it seems that I have been deleting things, but they haven't been truly deleted... and I have not .trash folder (It doesn't show up when showing hidden files)
[21:57] <JDahl> erUSUL, I get the error "wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down",  so obviously something other than Gnome is wrong
[21:57] <Twinity> lgbr, you're on a notebook i guess? if yes check your wlan-button ^^
[21:57] <dknight> question, I have googled to try to find how to mount my windows partition but I cannot get it to mount for some reason.
[21:57] <erUSUL> !trash
[21:57] <lgbr> Twinity: it works fine, but there are none of the nice things
[21:57] <drex> !list
[21:58] <lgbr> Twinity: which i so often see on others' 8.04 installs
[21:58] <drex> !list
[21:58] <tim167> hi, I saved a document as *.pdf with openoffice, is it possible to reopen this file and edit it ?
[21:58] <erUSUL> JDahl: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up ??
[21:58] <ikonia> drex: you've just done that
[21:58] <duiu> Twinity: nvidia-xconfig didn't work
[21:58] <duiu> Twinity: and it's not a GUI...
[21:58] <JDahl> erUSUL, now the networks are listed... weird
[21:59] <Twinity> duiu, its a gui, did you run as root?
[21:59] <duiu> used sudo nvidia-xconfig
[21:59] <thomashartman1> sudo grep -ir polish * # a lot of lines, but nothing stands out as problematic
[22:00] <duiu> Twinity: ran as root, it rewrote my xorg.conf, and then quit
[22:00] <bhati> can someone help me with audio problem in my sony vaio laptop

[22:01] <tanner_> I have a few questions if anyone can help. I will post just one then work on the solution and come back for others. Thank you! Question, I have Ubuntu Server installed running Gnome Desktop. Everything works fine except i can not get the computer to boot to Gnome, it keeps going to cvommand prompt. I tried  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start  but it still does not seem to work. Any suggestions? Thank you very much.
[22:01] <thomashartman1> ubottu: thx, gonna read that
[22:02] <prince_jammys> tanner_: is gdm installed?
[22:02] <duiu> tanner_: Did you install xserver-xorg?
[22:02] <Flannel> tanner_: How did you install gnome?
[22:02] <bhati> ubuntu have detected the drivers on my sony vaio laptop but i can't hear anything, anyone help. i m new to ubuntu :(
[22:03] <duiu> Twinity: Any suggestions?
[22:03] <Twinity> sorry, i'm afk for about 10 minutes ^^
[22:03] <tanner_> Prince...i am actually not sure. i searched add/remove for gdm and only found graphicakl disk map and i searched áll open source applications
[22:03] <klndz3> wols_ Bhavesh, erUSUL, br10ta10, Hmmm, it seems that I have been deleting things, but they haven't been truly deleted... and I have no .trash folder (It doesn't show up when showing hidden files)
[22:04] <prince_jammys> tanner_: try installing gdm with apt-get
[22:04] <tanner_> duiu no i dont believe i did..have i missed something...sorry very very new
[22:04] <Flannel> tanner_: use synaptic, not add/remove.  add/remove is a limited subset (and only applications, not packages)
[22:04] <erUSUL> !trash | klndz3
[22:04] <jochenh> can anyone help my with my problem playing video files?They are very to slow...
[22:04] <xplane> hey, is there a channel to ask for help regarding gtk 2 themes in ubuntu?
[22:04] <bhati> can anyone help me ? no sound on my sony vaio vgn b1xp ...
[22:04] <duiu> tanner_: Do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[22:04] <Flannel> tanner_: What did you do to get the GUI? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? or what?
[22:04] <tanner_> prince...thank you
[22:05] <prince_jammys> tanner_: and then the same command you posted to start it.
[22:05] <tanner_> duiu and flannel... sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[22:05] <guntbert> klndz3: do you know, where the big files are?
[22:05] <duiu> tanner_: That would have installed xserver-xorg
[22:06] <Flannel> tanner_: that will install gdm for you.
[22:06] <JDahl> erUSUL, do you know how to connect to "DAHL" manually?  sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "DAHL"?  It reports no error,  but ifconfig doesn't show wlan0 to be active (no IP address etc)
[22:06] <tapas> ugh
[22:06] <tanner_> flannel..i dont know anything about synaptic...how do i use that ?
[22:06] <duiu> tanner_: What happens when you do /etc/init.d/gdm start?
[22:06] <tapas> clicks on my thinkpad are always interpreted as double clicks
[22:06] <klndz3> guntbert, I just refreshed and my trash folder appeared again
[22:06] <erUSUL> JDahl: well the next step would be to "sudo dhclient wlan0"
[22:06] <tapas> can't move windows etc
[22:07] <tanner_> duiu...its gives me text on the screen then back to command prompt..i didnt write down what it says...im sorry
[22:07] <Flannel> tanner_: Its pretty easy, search for packages, click them, they install.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[22:07] <erUSUL> JDahl: but if the network has encryption you should set up the keys before the "essid" iirc
[22:07] <tanner_> flannel thank you will write that down and try it out
[22:07] <guntbert> klndz3: I did'nt follow, is your problem solved now?
[22:07] <duiu> tanner_: Dose you motherboard have a video card installed/onboard?
[22:08] <duiu> tanner_: if you can't start gnome, you can't use synaptic

[22:21] <RB2> natnay1, are you sure that mysqld is running?
[22:21] <thomashartman1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf says "The easiest way to switch to a new layout in your Desktop Environment is to click Computer/Desktop Preferences/Keyboard Preferences." That's pretty much what I did, the poland radio button is selected, usa is not. But I don't get a polish keyboard.
[22:21] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: visudo

[22:22] <natnay1> thanks RB2
[22:22] <Leefmc> guntbert: The error of "unable to resolve host oldcompname"
[22:22] <prince_jammys> sdwrage: you could just add the account to the 'admin' group
[22:22] <CVirus> When the heck is apt supposed to support multiple package installations at the same time ?
[22:22] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: what are you talking about?
[22:23] <thomashartman1> apt-get install package1 package2
[22:23] <natnay1> RB2: nope sry, the mysqld file is not there
[22:23] <thomashartman1> works.
[22:23] <tapas> ok, anyone ever stumbled over the mouse buttons on a notebook always producking doubvlclicks?
[22:23] <guntbert> Leefmc: try logging out and in again
[22:23] <RB2> natnay1, are you sure you mysqld installed?
[22:23] <CVirus> thomashartman1: two different instances of apt running I mean
[22:23] <natnay1> RB2: where can i get it, synaptic doesnt seem to have it
[22:23] <CVirus> thomashartman1: I want to install a small package while another huge package is being downloaded
[22:23] <Leefmc> guntbert: I physically rebooted it, we'll see if that works. I couldn't do anything via terminal because sudo couldn't work hehe
[22:23] <thomashartman1> cvirus: sounds like a good way to commit hari kiri.

[22:24] <sdwrage> im hitting in visudo but its not taking me into edit mode... any reason why?
[22:24] <natnay1> RB2: there are other versions like the python-mysqldb ones
[22:24] <CVirus> thomashartman1: this feature has been in portage ever since I've started using it
[22:24] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: sec please

[22:24] <sdwrage> hitting esc
[22:24] <thomashartman1> i mean, if anything I think it's reasonable to want to be able to cancel out of an apt-get install with ctrl-c and be reasonable certain that you haven't hosed your system.
[22:24] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: No need, i think
[22:24] <thomashartman1> not sure if you can do that already
[22:24] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: I was just explaining, since you asked :)
[22:25] <CVirus> thomashartman1: apt isn't supposed to lock the whole database
[22:25] <sdwrage> Is there any reason why I cant hit esc and enter edit mode when pulling up visudo?
[22:25] <RB2> natnay1, mysql is in synaptic... it's mysql-server-5.0 And as far as python-mysqldb, that's the mysql adapters for those languages.
[22:25] <Leefmc> guntbert: Yea, rebooting fixed it :), thanks
[22:25] <CVirus> thomashartman1: instead it is supposed to lock the package currently being worked on
[22:25] <thomashartman1> enh, I guess I have just learned to treat it like a delicate black box.

[22:27] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: Had to be via terminal, and it worked anyway, it just needed a reboot

[22:27] <blip-> hi something rather wierd is happening, i just installed latest kubuntu 8.04 on a dell laptop.  wireless is is detected automatically and KDE networkmanager see my home network... i double click to connect and enter the correct WPA code but it is unable to connect.  I've added the MAC address of the wifi card to my routers allow list and double checked.  what could be causing this ?
[22:27] <blip-> could the driver not support WPA properly ?
[22:27] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: so everything clear then?
[22:28] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: yup :)
[22:28] <dmoerner> sdwrage, because you use "i" to enter edit mode in vim? maybe because editor is not set to vim?
[22:28] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: A reboot is apparently just needed, because the session still has the old name
[22:28] <guntbert> bombshelter13: I'm sure you will find that info on wikipedia
[22:28] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: do you have nano or vi/vim as editor when you execute visudo?

[22:28] <CVirus> bombshelter13: http://download.wikimedia.org/
[22:29] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: in that case a ifdown/ifup iface might have done the job

[22:29] <guntbert> !repeat | need_F1
[22:29] <blip-> i should've know this would happen
[22:29] <outbriber> need_F1: the performance issue could be because it has to keep looking for a network because it doesn't have one

[22:31] <erUSUL> !iso | othellix
[22:31] <othellix> it dont work
[22:31] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: why would you have vim?
[22:31] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: Does ifdown then ifup work aswell? Because i dont recall using the ifdown eth0 argument before
[22:31] <hubar> Hi. I am using evolution for email, can anyone recommend an equally good GUI client for newsgroups?
[22:32] <sdwrage> remoteCTRL, maybe I dont 0_o im not sure...
[22:32] <tapas> ok, it was an old xorg.conf lingering aorun dfrom the beta i guess
[22:32] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: ifdown ==interface down, eth0 tells him wich one and its mandatory
[22:32] <othellix> the link is not ok
[22:33] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: just try to navigate with your arrow keys and then write something
[22:33] <prince_jammys> sdwrage: is there a box at the bottom of the screen that says "Get Help", "Writeout", etc. ?
[22:33] <sdwrage> remoteCTRL, ok I exited edit mode after I entered info now how do I save?
[22:33] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: Gotcha
[22:33] <sdwrage> prince, no
[22:33] <guntbert> othellix: what about google?
[22:33] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: if you see something like to exit press ctrl+x then it is nano
[22:33] <sdwrage> no I dont
[22:34] <Oli``> brettley: have any luck?
[22:34] <sdwrage> I see ~ on empty lines
[22:34] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: don't you see the instructions on the bottom of the screen?
[22:34] <sdwrage> nope
[22:34] <prince_jammys> sdwrage: ok. btw, you know you can add an administrative user just by adding the user to the 'admin' group? you wouldn't have to edit the sudoers file.
[22:34] <sdwrage> prince, Only group thats on this box is root
[22:34] <sdwrage> prince, this is VPS
[22:34] <prince_jammys> sdwrage: is this a default ubuntu install?
[22:34] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: what happens with ctrl+x?
[22:34] <prince_jammys> obviously not.
[22:35] <sdwrage> lemme check
[22:35] <sdwrage> nothing
[22:35] <sdwrage> I know i have to type : letter
[22:35] <sdwrage> to save
[22:35] <sdwrage> dont know the letter
[22:35] <remoteCTRL> sdwrage: type reset and enter
[22:35] <prince_jammys> sdwrage: :wq

[22:36] <RB2> Hardware drivers even
[22:36] <hubar> Hi. I am using evolution for email, can anyone recommend an equally good GUI client for newsgroups?
[22:36] <erUSUL> sebastian_: which graphic card?
[22:37] <sebastian_> nvidia 6200A
[22:37] <usser> RB2, did u restart after u installed them?
[22:37] <guntbert> !best > hubar
[22:37] <erUSUL> !nvidia | sebastian_
[22:37] <RB2> usser, yeah. X has been a bit messed up since I had to repair it via the Recovery Mode.
[22:37] <sebastian_> thx
[22:37] <usser> RB2, did u use restricted manager or did u install the drivers from nvidia.com?
[22:38] <hubar> hmm ok! Thanks for the info. :)
[22:38] <RB2> usser, the restricted manager
[22:38] <remoteCTRL> hubar: kalendar
[22:38] <erUSUL> need_F1: can you rephrase your problem?
[22:38] <RB2> usser, but now I'm making progress. before nvidia-xconfig was yellow about missing a device driver line. Now, it ran alright with no grumbling.
[22:39] <RB2> s/yellow/yelling
[22:39] <usser> RB2, hm, that is weird. can u do lsmod | grep nvidia. See whats displayed also do glxinfo | grep direct
[22:39] <hubar> remoteCTRL: That is GNOME based? (Cuz the name looks like an KDE app)
[22:39] <remoteCTRL> oh boy nvidia-xconfig==evil
[22:39] <remoteCTRL> hubar: kde it is
[22:40] <RB2> usser, sure. This all started when I installed the drivers for a cable tuner card. I've since removed those drivers.
[22:40] <Skeleton> hmm my laptop cpu fan seems to run constantly
[22:40] <remoteCTRL> hubar: that sunbird thing by mozilla is also useful
[22:40] <need_F1> ok it realy simple if i boot mine laptop without network cable present and network is working, pc goes realy slow
[22:40] <remoteCTRL> but it is standallone
[22:40] <gkelly> t
[22:40] <Bhavesh> lvm2 is too smart.. it remembers lvm info since before reinstallation of ubuntu :)
[22:40] <sebastian_> erUSUL: that site didnt help me
[22:40] <sebastian_> i have all the correct drivers and stuff
[22:41] <erUSUL> sebastian_: System>Admin>Hardware drivers
[22:41] <need_F1> synaptic gui dont work, to bring terminal it takes ages, when i put network cable in i instantly get ewrything normal, under a sec response time...
[22:41] <SpaceBass> since upgrading to Heardy server, my ldap authenticated user can no long sudo ... its like its not recognizing the network group in the sudoers list
[22:41] <Leefmc> Question: If i want to just remove the graphical components of ubuntu, is ubuntu-desktop all that needs to be removed? (Keep in mind i want full functionality via terminal)
[22:41] <SpaceBass> anyone know why that might be?
[22:41] <sebastian_> erUSUL: its enabled and in use
[22:41] <RB2> usser, the only one that returned anything was glxinfo: http://pastebin.com/d5a526a06
[22:41] <erUSUL> sebastian_: glxinfo | grep direct
[22:41] <hubar> remoteCTRL: Oh I was asking what to use for a newsgroup reader, not a calendar application :)
[22:42] <iMind> good evening, can anyone tell me how to use the nopaste with terminal?
[22:42] <SpaceBass> Leefmc, are you doing that for space? if not, then you can just change the runlevel
[22:42] <sebastian_> erUSUL: maby cedega just told me wrong, because my 3d effects and all works
[22:42] <sebastian_> ok
[22:42] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: no will not do the job, that will only uninstall some 20mb
[22:42] <erUSUL> need_F1: very weird ... have you checked if some process eats cpu on the first case? top
[22:42] <sebastian_> direct renedring yes :p
[22:42] <remoteCTRL> hubar: newsgroup not groupware, my bad
[22:42] <Jordan_U> Leefmc: No, you would need to remove everything that ubuntu-desktop depends on ( except for things like ubuntu-base )
[22:42] <erUSUL> sebastian_: then you will have to ask some cedega expert
[22:42] <usser> RB2, so lsmod | grep nvidia didnt return anything. err its glxinfo | grep direct not lsmod | grep glxinfo
[22:42] <Leefmc> SpaceBass: No, strictly because the machine doesn't have a monitor. I just dont care to have it boot up a desktop, runlevel is what i need?
[22:42] <remoteCTRL> hubar in that case maybe lifera
[22:42] <need_F1> nothing, it just slow
[22:42] <sebastian_> erUSUL: ok thx for the help :)
[22:43] <SpaceBass> Leefmc 3  I think
[22:43] <RB2> usser, ahhh I thought you were list a bunch of grep parameters. ;)
[22:43] <Leefmc> SpaceBass: I'll look into it, thanks
[22:43] <erUSUL> need_F1: :| nothing strange on logs?
[22:43] <usser> RB2, brb try sudo modprobe nvidia see what errors that spits out
[22:43] <need_F1> i insstaled samba and i have printer shares that ar present only when needed
[22:43] <need_F1> nope
[22:43] <hubar> remoteCTRL: That lifera is a RSS reader, not a newsgroup reader...
[22:44] <need_F1> nothing strange no errors only on boot "cups" take longer
[22:44] <Khisanth> pan is a pretty nice newsgroup reader :)
[22:44] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: runlevels don't do anything in ubuntu unless you switch to runlevel one and that would turn much more then just graphics off
[22:44] <RB2> usser, glibx | grep direct: http://pastebin.com/d64d42c9f
[22:44] <Bhavesh> Khisanth it is.. i have used it for the longest time
[22:44] <need_F1> ewen when stop printer shares it have alot hang time
[22:44] <remoteCTRL> hubar: damnit!:D i give in
[22:44] <Jordan_U> Leefmc: Just disable GDM from starting
[22:44] <Jordan_U> !boot | Leefmc
[22:44] <Khisanth> Bhavesh: me too
[22:45]  * Leefmc clicks
[22:45] <RB2> usser, the modprobe did nothing, just returned
[22:45] <monostone> I have very slow video playback when using xine fullscreen, on the other hand using totem video is fluid fullscreen, I used to have fluid playback fullscreen once, so i must have messed up/or created a conflict with some libs or changed a setting somewhere.
[22:45] <Bhavesh> well recently i haven't since i don't know if my local ISP actually has a news server
[22:46] <RB2> usser, I re-ran the nvidia-xconfig, so I'm going to reboot and I'll be back in a moment.

[22:49] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: but as the guy further up said to disable gdm from booting would also do the job, you can do that with the command update-rc.d, if i recall right the switch you are looking for is -f
[22:50] <FAJALOU> jt__:  we need more detail than that...
[22:50] <jt__> ive got ubuntu for ppc installed on an imac g4
[22:50] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: update-rc.d is a command?
[22:50] <jt__> i can find it when i apt-get xubuntu-desktop
[22:50] <danbhfive> Leefmc: try removing ubuntu-desktop and then using deborphan to clean up
[22:50] <need_F1> is there any place i can go further?!
[22:50] <jt__> but, i tried build from scratch
[22:50] <natnay1> i need help with tasksel installer, it gives me a "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)"
[22:50] <FAJALOU> mountdevbrain: does flash work?
[22:50] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: it is, see man update-rc.d
[22:50] <jt__> and for some reason, i cant find the hd with fdisk -l
[22:51] <FAJALOU> jt__: plug it in and type   lsusb    in terminal post output to paste.ubuntu.com and give us a link
[22:51] <jt__> ok
[22:51] <jt__> thx
[22:51] <yao_ziyuan> kde4 is the only thing that can compete with windows and mac in look'n'feel
[22:51] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc:  update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[22:51] <FAJALOU> yao_ziyuan:  i would like to debate that,,,
[22:51] <natnay1> i need help with tasksel installer, it gives me a "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)"
[22:52] <danbhfive> natnay1: what are you trying to do?
[22:52] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU: how can i find out if flash works if youtube etc. don't work?
[22:52] <remoteCTRL> !offtopic > yao_ziyuan
[22:52] <FAJALOU> mountdevbrain: so you cannot see youtube videos?
[22:52] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU: if this is the indicator, then i have to say: no, it doesn work
[22:52] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: K thanks, i'll give it a shot when the updates are done :)
[22:52] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU: indeed :(
[22:52] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: np:)
[22:52] <FAJALOU> ok, are you on a 64 bit or 32 bit?
[22:53] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU: firefox just seems to know nothing about any flash plugin
[22:53] <yao_ziyuan> FAJALOU: see my desktop before you speak: http://s4.tinypic.com/2qxta93.jpg
[22:53] <RB2> usser, it's working now. :D
[22:53] <natnay1> i need help with tasksel installer, it gives me a "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)"
[22:53] <usser> RB2, nice. im glad to hear that
[22:53] <RB2> usser, the nvidia drivers are back and compiz is happy. Thanks for your time!
[22:53] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU:  on some sites it even offers me the installation of the "missing plugin"  (although i have already installed it!)
[22:53] <Leefmc> remoteCTRL: Well, i'll give the reboot a shot i mean. I already used that and it seemed to remove symlinks just fine :)
[22:53] <FAJALOU> mountdevbrain:  go into terminal
[22:54] <FAJALOU> i still disagree with yao_ziyuan,,, grar
[22:54] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU: but when as i click "install missing plugins" it doesnt find anything appropriate
[22:54] <usser> RB2, no problem
[22:54] <remoteCTRL> FAJALOU: sudo apt-get install libflash-swfplayer
[22:54] <natnay1> i need help with tasksel installer, it gives me a "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)"
[22:54] <FAJALOU> mountdevbrain: open terminal
[22:54] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU: yes and then?
[22:54] <Twinity> mountdevbrain, 64 bit i guess?
[22:54] <FAJALOU> mountdevbrain:   sudo apt-get install libflash-swfplayer
[22:54] <remoteCTRL> Leefmc: ok give it a try
[22:54] <mountdevbrain> Twinity: no, normal i386
[22:54] <Twinity> mountdevbrain, ah ok ^^
[22:55] <remoteCTRL> mountdevbrain: sudo apt-get install libflash-swfplayer
[22:55] <remoteCTRL> hehe kk
[22:55] <zcat[1]> and libflashsupport ?
[22:56] <zcat[1]> !info libflashsupport
[22:56] <remoteCTRL> guess no harm done by installing it..
[22:56] <rw> Can someone send me and boxee invite?
[22:56] <FAJALOU> remoteCTRL:  do you think that he should also reinstall flashplugin-nonfree?
[22:57] <Bhavesh> good torrent clients?
[22:57] <Bhavesh> !torrent
[22:57] <ErikWestrup> How do I get the current time from the terminal?
[22:57] <Bhavesh> thanks
[22:57] <remoteCTRL> FAJALOU: i suggest he either uses the one or the other so best uninstall?
[22:57] <remoteCTRL> ktorrent so roxx
[22:57] <remoteCTRL> rtorrent is also veery nice
[22:57] <FAJALOU> remoteCTRL:  i guess, i know that flashplugin-nonfree works for me well,,, so why not.
[22:57] <Bhavesh> well i am looking for more like command line
[22:58] <Bhavesh> and with remote management, i am going ot be running torrent client on the server
[22:58] <FAJALOU> but if the other one works for him, then go for it.
[22:58] <remoteCTRL> FAJALOU: i had s***loads of trouble with it on 64 bit
[22:58] <remoteCTRL> Bhavesh: rtorrent then
[22:58] <Bhavesh> i have used utorrent on windows but i am setting up linux machine
[22:58] <FAJALOU> remoteCTRL:  ya a friend couldn't get Opera to get it working, but FF worked fine
[22:58] <Bhavesh> remoteCTRL thanks.. i am going to look into it
[22:58] <remoteCTRL> Bhavesh: np
[22:59] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU: it still doesnt work :(
[22:59] <Twinity> Bhavesh, i'm using transmission
[22:59] <remoteCTRL> FAJALOU: unfortunately it is torturing me with ff...
[22:59] <Twinity> Bhavesh, think its even better then utorrent
[22:59] <remoteCTRL> but not commandline right?
[22:59] <chris_goe> anybody using an (external) harddisk via firewire?
[22:59] <will02> is there a particular reason that my hp photosmart 7150 wants to print at a max size of 5x7? did i configure something wrong?
[23:00] <FAJALOU> mountdevbrain:  sudo apt-get reinstall flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport libflash-swfplayer
[23:00] <mountdevbrain> FAJALOU:  I have already tried that- doesn't work either
[23:00] <Twinity> mountdevbrain, did you restart your firefox? ^^
[23:00] <remoteCTRL> mountdevbrain: purge it then and reinstall
[23:00] <mountdevbrain> Twinity: of course ;)
[23:01] <FAJALOU> good luck, you will find something that works.
[23:01] <remoteCTRL> yeah right:D

[23:05] <remoteCTRL> hi
[23:05] <lt_daniel787> hello
[23:05] <Twinity> hi^^
[23:05] <lt_daniel787> anybody here that could please help me out
[23:05] <lt_daniel787> I have looked around the net
[23:05] <Twinity> just ask your question, lt_daniel787
[23:05] <lt_daniel787> thanks
[23:05] <remoteCTRL> !ask | lt_daniel787
[23:05] <lt_daniel787> I am unable to connect to a few websites
[23:06] <lt_daniel787> ah ok, thanks
[23:06] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: what websites?
[23:06] <Twinity> checked your dns server?
[23:06] <erUSUL> lt_daniel787: you get any error ?
[23:07] <remoteCTRL> this silence is awkward:D
[23:07] <Twinity> somehow i like it ^^
[23:07] <lt_daniel787> I am unable to connect to a few websites, such as hotmail, facebook, yahoo... for example, I connect to hotmail initially, but then it takes forever saying "waiting for login.live.com", I tried Mozilla, I tried opera, I even tried ie4linux... facebook has similar behaviour, I can log in, but then when I hit a few pages it says waiting and never loads, same occurs with yahoo mail

[23:09] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: bad example hotmail has ping turned off, try facebook: <IP_ADDRESS>
[23:09] <Twinity> tried to ping the domains that arent working?
[23:09] <lt_daniel787> that's after I pressed ctrl-c
[23:10] <remoteCTRL> yeah my bad give it another shot please
[23:10] <divinegod> Hello, does anyone know how to fix python2.5 version problems? I can't install python2.5-dev because the version of python2.5 is higher than the one of python2.5-dev

[23:10] <divinegod> and python2.5 can't be forced to lower version
[23:10] <Twinity> lol...^^
[23:10] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: ok this means that you have a dns related problem
[23:11] <lt_daniel787> ok
[23:11] <unop> remoteCTRL, heh
[23:11] <lt_daniel787> I re-installed ubuntu 3-4 times
[23:11] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: ??
[23:11] <chippy> hello. how can i stop apache2, mysql and postgres from starting automatically when I reboot?
[23:11] <lt_daniel787> every time, it worked fine at the beggining, then after a while, it started doing that
[23:11] <Twinity> lt_daniel787, thats not windows, reinstalling wont fix any problems ;)
[23:11] <lt_daniel787> lol
[23:11] <agapl> #agapl
[23:11] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: can it be that you got some parental control on on that router of yours?
[23:11] <unop> divinegod, sudo aptitude install -f; sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install  python2.5{,-dev}
[23:11] <lt_daniel787> nope sir
[23:12] <lt_daniel787> the option is there, but I have it disabled
[23:12] <Twinity> tried to ping facebook's domain?
[23:12] <Twinity> instead of the ip`
[23:12] <Twinity> ?
[23:12] <erUSUL> !boot | chippy
[23:12] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: allright, what does nslookup facebook.com return?
[23:12] <lt_daniel787> I pinged the facebook domain, it works
[23:13] <chippy> cheers erUSUL :)
[23:13] <lt_daniel787> it is very strange
[23:13] <lt_daniel787> because this problem starts acting up after a while
[23:13] <remoteCTRL> unop: help us out please:D
[23:13] <zyark|away> lt_daniel787: i would make a guess that the problem is related to your router rather than your installation
[23:13] <tj1515> anybody know why my sound would be going out in the middle of playing an avi file after 20 mins it starts to crackle out then goes out completely vlc player will then not open i have to restart for it to open again
[23:13] <lt_daniel787> the reason I re-installed ubuntu so many times was because I was trying to pinpoint what did it
[23:13] <lt_daniel787> I travel a lot
[23:13] <chippy> bum is good?
[23:13] <lt_daniel787> I'm a pilot
[23:14] <lt_daniel787> so I go on a lot of different "routers"
[23:14] <Twinity> lt_daniel787, did you try to reboot your router?
[23:14] <divinegod> unop: thanks
[23:14] <lt_daniel787> I tried that
[23:14] <remoteCTRL> so that lt wasn't just a decoy or so*g*
[23:14] <lt_daniel787> didn't do it unfortunately
[23:14] <erUSUL> lt_daniel787: try this (i wild guess) "echo 0 | sudo tee  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling" then try the affected sites
[23:15] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: if i were in your place my next guess would be to connect the computer directly to the net without the router inbetween so you know what is the source of the problem
[23:15] <chippy> god I love ubuntu :)
[23:15] <LiH2> me2
[23:15] <lt_daniel787> stdby
[23:15] <lt_daniel787> let me try the cable
[23:15] <Twinity> who doesnt? ^^
[23:17] <unop> lt_daniel787, if you ping facebook for a minute or so .. do you have much packet loss?
[23:18] <lt_daniel787> ok
[23:18] <lt_daniel787> I'm on a wired network now
[23:18] <lt_daniel787> let me try hotmail
[23:18] <lt_daniel787> ok
[23:18] <lt_daniel787> strange enough, when on the wired connection, everything is working fine
[23:18] <FloodBot1> lt_daniel787: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:18] <lt_daniel787> I'm going to try wireless again and see if the problem persists
[23:18] <bdunlap> i have a cool idea but dont know if it's actually implemented anywhere... i'd like the desktop to be a usable desktop but also have a terminal built in. anyone know of a way to do that?
[23:18] <will02> why would my system monitor report that my 80 gig hard drive is 97% full, when the disk usage analyzer only reports 11gb is used?
[23:18] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: then there is your diagnose
[23:18] <lmartin92> how do you run xorgconfig? (it's changed in ubuntu), my mouse has died so I can't figure out how to help myself; I have a command line open so that is all I can work with (keyboard); please pm me, it will be a while because I will eat dinner
[23:18] <kolombino> somebody has installed ubuntu in aspire one?
[23:19] <erUSUL> bdunlap: there are terminal emulators that work like the quake console you hit a key and you get the console
[23:19] <remoteCTRL> bdunlap: you are looking for desklets
[23:19] <lt_daniel787> ok, now everything works fine....
[23:19] <bdunlap> remoteCTRL, no ive used those and they aren't what I'm looking for.
[23:20] <lt_daniel787> with wireless or wired connection
[23:20] <lt_daniel787> I don't know what did it
[23:20] <bdunlap> erUSUL, ooh where can I find that?
[23:20] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: it updated your cached dns records so it will work until those exipre
[23:20] <prince_jammys> quit
[23:20] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: the ploblem is caused by the router
[23:20] <lt_daniel787> so what can I do about it?
[23:21] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: you would have to "take apart" the router?
[23:21] <lt_daniel787> sounds like too much trouble
[23:22] <lt_daniel787> can't I just set up my router somehow?
[23:22] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: maybe it helps if you reset it to its factory defaults and reconfigure it
[23:22] <lt_daniel787> or set up ubuntu to update DNS records?
[23:22] <erUSUL> bdunlap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193520
[23:22] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: maybe there is a fimrware update for your device that covers some bugs...
[23:22] <Twinity> lt_daniel787, i agree to remoteCTRL, just reset your router and reconfigure it.. that may help
[23:22] <sd> hello there
[23:22] <Twinity> hi
[23:22] <remoteCTRL> lt_daniel787: ubuntu does that for you as long as it can
[23:23] <John0Neil> I have just installed Ubuntu. Why is everything bigger compared to Windows XP at a given resolution? (1280x1024 in my case)
[23:23] <will02> is there a reason that my gvfs-fuse-daemon has grown to 71 gb?
[23:23] <family_> how do i find my 'JAVA_HOME' path?
[23:23] <will02> or is that normal size
[23:23]  * sd I have a ubuntu server I am trying to install Unreal ircd on it but it is saying permission denied
[23:23] <outbriber> John0Neil: I meant to ask you this earlier, but how are you comparing sizes?
[23:23] <Jordan_U> John0Neil: Possibly and incorrect DPI setting
[23:23] <remoteCTRL> family_: echo $JAVA_HOME
[23:24] <sd> Debian-8ubuntu1.2
[23:24] <torx1704> do anybody but me , have a problem with world of warcraft using wine ?
[23:24] <lt_daniel787> sorry to take so much of your time guys, but do you think it could have something to do with the DHCP settings?
[23:24] <bdunlap> erUSUL, thank you :-)
[23:24] <Twinity> John0Neil, ehm... what do you mean? only the desktop icons?
[23:24] <remoteCTRL> sd you will need superuser rights, see man sudo
[23:24] <John0Neil> outbriber, number of item fitting in screen. simple as that. icons are bigger, I have less bookmarks for a given space in firefox, etc
[23:24] <dr_Willis> torx1704,  the wine app database proberly has extensive guides/troubleshooting info for WoW.
[23:24] <family_> and if echo doesnt return anything?
[23:24] <remoteCTRL> torx1704: crossover could do that..
[23:25] <John0Neil> Twinity, no it's the same in firefox
[23:25] <torx1704> crossover ?
[23:25] <erUSUL> bdunlap: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/how_to_use_quake-style_terminals_on_GNU_Linux
[23:25] <torx1704> remoteCTRL is that free ?
[23:25] <remoteCTRL> family_: then you have no such variable set
[23:25] <Leefmc> Question: If you use the ubuntu repo to install phpmyadmin, where does it install to? Its not being put into /var/www (apache's http file loc)
[23:25] <remoteCTRL> torx1704: not at all...
[23:25]  * sd :D
[23:25] <sd> remoteCTRL: i have i paied money for that
[23:26] <torx1704> remoteCTRL, then i cant use that
[23:26] <remoteCTRL> sd for crossover? its quite kewl i think we got it at work for ms office...
[23:26] <Jims> i don't know what u mean man
[23:26] <cizra> Hi
[23:26] <cizra> Tell me, is it possible to SAFELY resize a NTFS partition, using only Ubuntu installer tools?
[23:27] <outbriber> John0Neil:  Did you ever get your internet working again? Twinity may be right, it might be an incorrect DPI setting.
