[09:08] <robf_>  ok on installing the mozilla-mplayer firefox doesn't see the plugin,  any idea why it wouldn't?
[09:09] <ReleaseX> After I plugged in my USB keyboard and used it on my laptop, my laptop's keyboard is messed up
[09:09] <gnomefreak> spiral: install it and your good to go until most likely final
[09:09] <spiral> gnomefreak: thanks :-)
[09:09] <shelby> Hey, I'm having a problem with getting programs run through WINE to detect my sound card.  They claim it doesn't exist even though it works with ALSA.
[09:10] <babolat> !keyboard | ReleaseX
[09:10] <slytherin> robf_: Why do you need mplayer plugin?
[09:10] <Br0k3> morning all
[09:10] <robf_> slytherin for .movs etc
[09:11] <robf_> regardless why is firefox not seeing it?
[09:11] <gnomefreak> robf_: check if its in about:plugins if it is make sure you restarted firefox and make sure what you are trying to play will play in it
[09:11] <BlackRece> right, i'm gonna reboot! upon my return, lets see what we can do with "uBLUNTu: Hard n Hazy" brb
[09:11] <robf_> gnomefreak exactly
[09:11] <robf_> it's NOT there.
[09:11] <gnomefreak> robf_: firefox uses the player that best fits the type of media being played by default
[09:11] <slytherin> robf_: gstreamer is good enough, provided you have installed all plugins
[09:11] <robf_> hrm
[09:11] <gnomefreak> robf_: if its not in about:plugins make sure you installed the plugin not the stand alone
[09:11] <legend2440> over2seeu: you there?
[09:11] <KRaZy_WaKa> lol i'm gonna reboot quick too so i can do the fix broken pkgs
[09:12] <cwillu> I'm trying to play with cpusets (specifically, assigning a task to a new cpuset), but I keep getting the error 'no space left on device'.  I don't see anything obviously wrong with how I'm setting it up, can anybody think of something I've probably overlooked?
[09:13] <_2> is qemu normally 99% cpu hog ?
[09:13] <slytherin> cwillu: is there any space left on your root/home partition?
[09:13] <over2seeu> legend2440: I am lost. I can't find my startup programs menu
[09:13] <cwillu> slytherin, this isn't a hard drive, it's a kernel filesystem
[09:13] <_2> cause it's not doing anything that i can tell and top says that %cpu for qemu is 99.4
[09:13] <cwillu> slytherin, like /proc or /sys
[09:14] <ReleaseX> babolat: doesn't really tell me why my keyboard worked fine till I plugged in a USB keyboard
[09:14] <slytherin> over2seeu: System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[09:14] <legend2440> over2seeu: its ok may have better solution read #2 in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=251548
[09:14] <slytherin> cwillu: then please excuse me Ihave no idea
[09:15] <babolat> ReleaseX: i can't tell you either because I don't know. maybe the keyboard cached the other PC's layout, or maybe a bug.
[09:15] <mohkohn> Slart, thanks that 'watch wget www.bbcnews.com seems to be doing the trick.
[09:16] <mohkohn> I will look a bit more for a firefox plugin
[09:17] <slytherin> has anyone used lightscribe drive with ubuntu?
[09:17] <ReleaseX> My laptop's keyboard was working fine til I plugged in a USB keyboard.  Now the right hand letters my laptop's keyboard are registering as numbers.  Any ideas why this is happening?
[09:18] <robf_> gnomefreak but yeh,   mozilla-mplayer is what was installed
[09:18] <over2seeu> well I did something different
[09:18] <giloedan> ReleaseX: try change ur keyboard setting
[09:18] <mohkohn> Now I don't have to sit at the computer clicking on URL's for 1 day 12 hours so that I can download Lotus Domino and Notes for Linux.
[09:18] <over2seeu> legend1440: I started up in recovery mode and repaired pkgs then returned to normal mode
[09:19] <over2seeu> legend2440: that was to you
[09:19] <ReleaseX> giloedan: already tried, no help
[09:19] <cafuego> ReleaseX: you hit the num lock key
[09:19] <legend2440> over2seeu: panel working now?
[09:19] <over2seeu> yah
[09:19] <tuntun> Hi. Whats a good audio editor other than audacity? (audacity messes up the duration value for vbrs)
[09:20] <legend2440> over2seeu: did you try reboot yet to make sure?
[09:20] <cafuego> ReleaseX: hit it again to turn num lock off
[09:20] <over2seeu> yah
[09:20] <ReleaseX> cafuego: doesn't matter if num lock is on or off
[09:20] <over2seeu> will nowe
[09:20] <slytherin> tuntun: see if jokosher works for you.
[09:21] <hp> i have a locked folder in my trashcan
[09:21] <hp> how can i get rid of it?
[09:22] <anirudh0> hp: sudo nautilus
[09:22] <anirudh0> hp: then navigate to trash and delete the folder
[09:23] <hp> anirudh0, there is no file in that trash can
[09:23] <hp> but i know i have like files in there
[09:24] <hp> using hardy btw
[09:24] <over2seeu> legend2440: work still
[09:24] <mhz128> hello world
[09:24] <giloedan> hp: show hidden file
[09:24] <crislsizl> can anyone help me? when trying to use streamtuner, i get the message "»xmms« couldnt be executed"
[09:24] <legend2440> over2seeu: ok good
[09:24] <anirudh0> hp: one sec
[09:24] <mhz128> What is the best IRC client for linux? I am running Konsersation in Ubuntu, but it doesn't compare to mIRC for Windows.
[09:24] <mhz128> Konversation
[09:25] <over2seeu> legend2440: not sure why it worked but I am glad it did. thanks for what you did though.
[09:25] <giloedan> mhz128: xchat
[09:25] <slytherin> crislsizl: it is trying to use xmms for playing stream. You will have to change it in preferences to use totem or your favourite media player
[09:25] <legend2440> over2seeu: yw
[09:25] <slytherin> mhz128: xchat
[09:25] <mhz128> xchat doesn't have as many features as mIRC either...
[09:25] <Slart> !best mhz128
[09:25] <Slart> !best | mhz128
[09:25] <crislsizl> slytherin, im a noob, can u explain me how i can do that?
[09:25] <Slart> !irc
[09:25] <slytherin> mhz128: what features are you talking about?
[09:26] <yesudeep> What should one make of this?  I've tried writing some data to a blank CD, and Brasero shows written progress.  However, when the tray is ejected, the CD is still blank?
[09:26] <hp> anyone here uses globalmenu?
[09:26] <slytherin> crislsizl: I don't have streamtuner right now. Can you just try locating preferences from menu?
[09:26] <giloedan> mhz128: then u can try wine mirc
[09:26] <Slart> yesudeep: isn't there some kind of simulation mode?
[09:26] <mhz128> slytherin: specifically, a script to search DCC search engines, run inside the IRC client
[09:26] <yesudeep> Slart: I don't think I'm simulating
[09:26] <slytherin> yesudeep: did you eject it yourself?
[09:26] <jesse> !usplash
[09:27] <Starnestommy> mhz128: irssi has scripts like that and I think xchat has some too
[09:27] <yesudeep> Nope, I didn't.
[09:27] <cwillu> slytherin, fwiw, it won't let you assign tasks to a cpuset if you haven't assigned a cpu and memory bank to the cpuset first (and it doesn't do anything sensible by default, like assuming you want to use what the parent did if you haven't specified)
[09:27] <mhz128> Starnestommmy: cool, irssi is good stuff?
[09:27] <slytherin> mhz128: it is command line stuff :-)
[09:27] <Starnestommy> mhz128: it is, but the only catch to it is that it's terminal-based
[09:27] <Slart> mhz128: irssi is console based.. if you liked mIRC you probably won't like irssi
[09:27] <slytherin> yesudeep: then it is for sure running in 'dry run' mode
[09:27] <mhz128> ah..
[09:28] <anirudh0> hp: the fix did'nt work for you because the command opened up superuser's trash
[09:28] <anirudh0> hp: which was empty
[09:28] <crislsizl> slytherin, xmms %q is the command for playing streams. how shall i change it
[09:28] <hp> ohhhhhhh
[09:28] <crislsizl> ?
[09:28] <Slart> mhz128: but mirc in wine works just fine.. if that's what you want.. go for it
[09:28] <anirudh0> hp: so the fix is to locate the "trash" folder of your user on your hard disk...and then do a "sudo rm -r " on it
[09:28] <slytherin> crislsizl: try totem %q or if it doesn't work totem %u
[09:28] <mhz128> Slart: ya it works fine in Wine, but my script doesn't :p
[09:29] <anirudh0> hp: but i can't seem to find _where_ nautilus stores the "trash" folder :(
[09:29] <askvictor> is there an easy way to run 2.6.25 on hardy?
[09:29] <crislsizl> with the space in between slytherin ?
[09:29] <Slart> mhz128: ahhh.. well.. perhaps a vm then..
[09:29] <hp> anirudh0, it's ok, i'll look around thanks for your help
[09:29] <qwat> My microphone doesn't work in any application in Ubuntu.
[09:29] <anirudh0> hp:found it!
[09:29] <tsukasa__> why does libnotify require me to sudo? dbus i mean
[09:30] <artworx> how does one enable antialising for fonts in qt4? i see no option for it in qt-config
[09:30] <tsukasa__> to send a message
[09:30] <anirudh0> hp: ~/.local/share/Trash/files is the folder you need
[09:30] <slytherin> crislsizl: yes
[09:30] <Slart> hp: look for folders named .Trash in the home folder or on the same drive the files were originally
[09:30] <anirudh0> hp:trased files are put there...so just cd there via the terminal and delete what you must
[09:30] <hp> anirudh0: thank you

[09:31] <cypha> i'm not clear on the difference between apt-get install and aptitude install...i just see that apt-get has more options to do
[09:31] <hp> anirudh0: so annoyed to delete a locked folder
[09:31] <cypha> so why even have/use aptitude install?
[09:31] <crislsizl> slytherin,  its not working
[09:31] <Slart> cypha: I think they both use the same backend.. they are compatible.. you can install with one and uninstall with the other
[09:31] <slytherin> crislsizl: what is error?
[09:31] <cypha> what about --purge?
[09:31] <rajaram_> when I use emerald and modify a theme, giving the emerald --replace command, the process just seems to keep running. Once I quit the process or quit the terminal, I dont get any window borders... any solution?
[09:31] <Slart> cypha: but aptitude has this little nice terminal gui thing going.. some people like that
[09:32] <crislsizl> the same like before
[09:32] <jussi01> cypha: aptitude handles dependences better
[09:32] <cypha> oh
[09:32] <askvictor> cypha: apt-get is purely command line; aptitude includes a terminal gui, but can also run command line
[09:32] <crislsizl> what is xmms? can i install it so it works?
[09:32] <slytherin> cypha: aptitude has nice interface
[09:32] <cypha> how does it handle them better?

[09:33] <stothepizzle> is there a package that will do wifi autoconfig from a terminal?
[09:33] <mhz128> tsukasa_: what is dbus used for?
[09:33] <cypha> thanks Slart, askvictor, and slytherin =)

[09:33] <tsukasa__> mhz128, im using notify-send on it
[09:34] <KRaZy_WaKa> yesudeep: you might be trying to burn more than the disc can hold
[09:34] <tsukasa__> mhz128, it only works in sudo
[09:34] <stothepizzle> ideally something where it asks you waht network you want to join, and then asks you to enter the key
[09:34] <stothepizzle> automatically doing the hex conversion and stuff like that
[09:34] <yesudeep> KRaZy_WaKa: I'm burning 868 KB of data and also a CD Image.
[09:34] <yesudeep> Two discs
[09:34] <Slart> yesudeep: I've never had this happen to me before.. are you using the right device to burn? perhaps run brasero in a terminal and see if any errors pop up
[09:34] <slytherin> stothepizzle: don't think there is terminal package for this
[09:34] <stothepizzle> ok
[09:34] <yesudeep> ok
[09:34] <stothepizzle> can anyone link me to how to do wireless config from terminal?
[09:34] <KRaZy_WaKa> i had brasero do that to me

[09:35] <askvictor> what is PPA?
[09:35] <yesudeep> Uhhh.  Ubuntu was mounting it as a blank disc even when it had been written on...
[09:35] <yesudeep> "Blank CD-R Disc"

[09:36] <sarmisak> ebox is not as configurable as webmin
[09:36] <yesudeep> It wrote the third time.
[09:36] <sarmisak> you might stick with webmin for a while I believe

[09:39] <tsukasa_laptop> bullgard1, how do i check if the session dbus is running?
[09:39] <BlackRece> in that case, what we need is skype!! what app did u say could connect to skype? pidgin?
[09:39] <zubu12> Slart: ok
[09:39] <cypha> sudo apt-get autoremove xyz will remove the dependencies, and will not be lingering in the background auto-doing anything else right? the word auto is always scary =)
[09:39] <KRaZy_WaKa> yeah it should be able to

[09:39] <gps> !xmms2
[09:39] <KRaZy_WaKa> gaim might as well
[09:39] <legend2440> rodolfo: are you sure bash is installed?
[09:39] <KRaZy_WaKa> gaim is ealry pidgin i think
[09:39] <mhz128> Is there a web server package for Ubuntu? Or must I compile something like Apache myself?
[09:39] <slytherin> crislsizl: it is a media player
[09:39] <areels> i think it's not logical to use ebox or webmin because they depends on tons of app
[09:40] <BlackRece> it is/was. lets try
[09:40] <rodolfo> legend2440: how can i be sure of that?
[09:40] <wong-deso> gaim is replaced with pidgin now
[09:40] <bullgard1> slytherin: Yes, sir.
[09:40] <Starnestommy> mhz128: apache2 is available on the package manager
[09:40] <crislsizl> where do i get it
[09:40] <crislsizl> ?
[09:40] <Starnestommy> *in
[09:40] <legend2440> rodolfo: in terminal sudo apt-get install bash
[09:40] <yesudeep> mhz128: lighttpd, nginx, apache, yaws, plenty of them.
[09:40] <crislsizl> what i have to type in to find it?
[09:40] <slytherin> bullgard1: Surprise. Was there any error while upgrading?
[09:41] <cypha> sudo apt-get autoremove xyz will remove the dependencies, and will not be lingering in the background auto-doing anything else right? the word auto is always scary
[09:41] <rodolfo> legend2440: hold on
[09:41] <slytherin> cypha: right
[09:41] <mhz128> interesting, well aptitude doesn't do a very good job of searching package names... try searching 'apache'. no results!
[09:41] <cypha> thanks slytherin
[09:41] <BlackRece> gaim will do if setup manualy, can you tell me if pidgin has skype settings bundled? (or do i have to look myself!? lol )
[09:41] <rodolfo> legend2440: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done bash is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[09:42] <KRaZy_WaKa> nope no skype
[09:42] <KRaZy_WaKa> i thought it did
[09:42] <yesudeep> aptitude search apache | wc -l: 106
[09:42] <slytherin> crislsizl: I don;t think it is in repositories anymore. Why don't you use totem instead. How hard is to change preferences?
[09:42] <yesudeep> mhz128: Perhaps you don't have all the repos enabled?
[09:42] <zubu12> Slart: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 will this work?

[09:42] <BlackRece> will have to get skype seperately then.
[09:43] <rodolfo> legend2440: I'm out of ideas. could you give me some tip?
[09:43] <crislsizl> slytherin, which command do i have to type in?
[09:43] <wong-deso> no skype for pidgin
[09:43] <BlackRece> slytherin: not Sky, SKYPE!
[09:43] <slytherin> crislsizl: do you have stream preferences opened?

[09:43] <mhz128> they seem to do the same things
[09:44] <BlackRece> would make life easier having plenty of im's in on app (Gaim/pidgin)
[09:44] <slytherin> mhz128: add/remove doesn't show everything. It is oriented toward newbies
[09:44] <mdh76> mhz128, one is for the gnome desktop, the second is for the entire system
[09:44] <wong-deso> add/remove programs has the program grouped
[09:44] <BlackRece> maybe that could be an additional feature of uBLUNTu! lol
[09:44] <slytherin> BlackRece: If you can reverse engineer skype protocol ... :-D
[09:44] <mhz128> oh i c!
[09:44] <slytherin> BlackRece: which other IM are you looking for?

[09:49] <wong-deso> ufff: yes before u said the crap word , lol
[09:49] <mdh76> stothepizzle, setup an apt proxy on that server, point apt on everything else to use it as the source of everything
[09:49] <slytherin> muzy: which card? which driver did you install? where from?
[09:49] <cypha> what's the command to play a sound in the terminal?

[09:49] <areels> i'd try beep
[09:49] <KRaZy_WaKa> skunk works for an uBLUNTu version of Skype lol
[09:49] <rodolfo> legend2440:  chroot always returns `/bin/bash': No such file or directory. fstab has two lines
[09:49] <mdh76> stothepizzle, you can't push updates afaic but you can use cron to pull
[09:49] <rodolfo> legend2440:  unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0
[09:49] <muzy> from ubuntu server
[09:49] <ufff> ok, i got 8800gt, some critical updates forced to reboot. i did that. now i only see half the desktop
[09:49] <slytherin> muzy: which card is it?
[09:50] <muzy> no idea....
[09:50] <muzy> i don't know
[09:50] <slytherin> muzy: why did you install driver?
[09:50] <BlackRece> KRaZy:  lol ;) is ur Hardy same as ver6.10?
[09:50] <legend2440> rodolfo: are you on the livecd?
[09:50] <KRaZy_WaKa> speaking of skype i should install that quick
[09:50] <slytherin> ufff: file a bug
[09:50] <stothepizzle> mdh76: how do i set up the apt proxy?
[09:50] <ufff> its already done by 100 people...
[09:50] <muzy> in the menu graphiccard i've see this update
[09:50] <mdh76> stothepizzle: apt-get install apt-proxy
[09:50] <rodolfo> legend2440: yeah
[09:51] <wong-deso> ufff:  try using vesa as ur driver first
[09:51] <BlackRece> KRaZy: where r u getting it from? (skunk, i mean skype, lol)
[09:51] <muzy> then i see it will make every ati cqard faster in 2D and 3D
[09:51] <_2> rodolfo when you use "chroot" there has to be a normal system that the new root location.   i.e. if you have linux installed on an hdc3  and mount hdc3 on /mnt  then chroot /mnt   should work
[09:51] <KRaZy_WaKa> not sure i've only used 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) and 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
[09:51] <muzy> and then i press install
[09:51] <crislsizl> slytherin,  ty its working!!!!!
[09:51] <mdh76> stothepizzle, there's also a package called apt-cacher that seems to qualify too... see which bests works for you
[09:51] <ufff> wong-deso and do i do that?
[09:51] <ufff> i meant HOW
[09:51] <slytherin> muzy: can you paste output of command lspci on pastebin?
[09:52] <ufff> cant do anything, ctrl+f1... bla bla cant do shit with the shell
[09:52] <rodolfo> _2: that's what i thought but it didn't work
[09:52] <slytherin> ufff: it is ctrl + alt _f1
[09:52] <KRaZy_WaKa> !DVD | BlackRece
[09:52] <muzy> command lspci what is this?
[09:52] <BlackRece> i've got the names wrong!! lol I thought I was on feisty (7.04) :-[
[09:52] <wong-deso> edit ur xorg.conf, find the driver text, change it to vesa
[09:52] <rodolfo> _2: please care to take a look: http://paste.la/1258
[09:52] <over2seeu> my gnome desktop manager has dispeared, anyone know how to get it back?
[09:52] <legend2440> rodolfo: in terminal type sudo mkdir /mnt/disk then sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/disk then cd /mnt/disk
[09:52] <wong-deso> change the value to vesa
[09:52] <ufff> ctr+f1 to 6 brings the shell here
[09:52] <KRaZy_WaKa> lol which one are you on?
[09:52] <slytherin> muzy: Do you have access to GUI right now?
[09:52] <joanjoseph> hi, how can i install flash 10 in hardy 64bit? ty
[09:52] <BlackRece> Gutsy!!!
[09:53] <muzy> no i havn't
[09:53] <BlackRece> 7.04
[09:53] <slytherin> joanjoseph: download the installer from adobe website
[09:53] <ufff> oh, and im using 8.04 of course
[09:53] <muzy> but i can log in, but i can't see anything
[09:53] <BlackRece> sry, not thinking straight!! where's that ash-tray?
[09:53] <muzy> only black screen
[09:53] <KRaZy_WaKa> ok you have to add the medibuntu repository to your sources list
[09:53]  * BlackRece looking for a half-smoked spliff!
[09:53] <_2> rodolfo and you have hdb3 mounted where ?
[09:53] <KRaZy_WaKa> Gutsy is 7.10
[09:54] <jussi01> !ot | BlackRece
[09:54] <joanjoseph> ok after i download is there a site where i can follow the procedures on how to install it?
[09:54] <BlackRece> i thought Gutsy = ver 7.0 to 7.9 inclusive
[09:54] <rodolfo> legend2440:  should I  umount the other existing ones?
[09:55] <StevenX> !compiz
[09:55] <slytherin> muzy: Instead of loging in , press ctrl + alt + F1 and then type command lspci, you can return to GUI with ctrl + alt + F7
[09:55] <capucinpeg> al salut
[09:55] <Dr_willis> joanjoseph,  given the beta status of the flash player.. :) i aint touching it for a LONG time. :)

[09:55] <joanjoseph> ok i will try. it. thank you
[09:55] <areels> how can i reboot ubuntu server?
[09:55] <slytherin> joanjoseph: the simple procedure is to extract it and run from terminal
[09:55] <gps> please tell me the name of some gui frontend for xmms2

[09:56] <areels> thanks
[09:56] <jussi01> !version | BlackRece
[09:56] <JBB> Well I feel stupid :p
[09:56] <rodolfo> _2: it's not mounted
[09:56] <legend2440> rodolfo: type mount in terminal to see where its mounted
[09:56] <_2> rodolfo you can only chroot into a compatable system  no chroot linux into windows
[09:56] <wong-deso> JBB: there are som howtos in the forum
[09:56] <JBB> Thanks.
[09:56] <_2> rodolfo maybe you need to explain to me the desired end result
[09:57] <KRaZy_WaKa> or click the system menu then about ubuntu
[09:57] <_2> rodolfo i.e.  why you are chrooting in the first place
[09:57] <mhz128> Anyone know of a weather widget/screenlet that will work in Canada?
[09:58] <legend2440> _2: rodolfo is using livecd and trying to mount /dev/hdb1
[09:58] <over2seeu> gnome desktop manager is not working. how do I get it back?
[09:58] <BlackRece> feisty 7.04?! so gutsy = 7.10?
[09:58] <wong-deso> why do call it root while its on the top species?
[09:58] <KRaZy_WaKa> yes
[09:58] <_2> legend2440 then chroot is not what he needs
[09:58] <legend2440> over2seeu: lol what are you doing there?
[09:58] <BlackRece> omg
[09:58] <legend2440> _2:  i know
[09:59] <rodolfo> _2: I need to browse the partition already mounted right before update the grub list
[09:59] <legend2440> rodolfo: in terminal type sudo mkdir /mnt/disk then sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/disk then cd /mnt/disk
[09:59] <legend2440> _2: this is what i told him to do
[09:59] <Slart> zubu12: sorry.. was off getting something to eat.. hang on.. I'll check that link
[09:59] <wong-deso> !root
[09:59] <over2seeu> legend2440: I don't know what is happening. but everytime I restart my computer something else decides to disapear on me
[09:59] <rodolfo> legend2440: this is the output from the mount command: http://mibbit.com/pb/Zg6wZE
[09:59] <legend2440> over2seeu: oh my
[09:59] <capucinpeg> all qu'elle quin peut me prendre en pv pour déprotégé un pc unika probléme hdd mais je ne parle que le francais et je suis députent sous ubuntu ?
[10:00] <areels> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ebox says not found, why is that?
[10:00] <BlackRece> ok, on to my next question then, (i'm on feisty!! jeez!) KRaZy: how do i add the mediverse source?
[10:00] <_2> rodolfo you don't chroot for that.     sudo mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt     browse /mnt   run grub-install --root-directory=/mnt <device>   where device is something like /dev/hda
[10:00] <over2seeu> legend2440: now my desktop is gone.
[10:00] <Dr_willis> BlackRece,  you mean medibuntu, or universe, or multiverse ? there is no mediverse.
[10:00] <xintron> I can't fastswitch user anymore. It said there was something missing on last boot, what do I need to reinstall?
[10:00] <KRaZy_WaKa> one second
[10:00] <askvictor> is there a way to create shortcuts to chatrooms (e.g. on the panel) for pidgin?
[10:00] <KRaZy_WaKa> medibuntu
[10:01] <KRaZy_WaKa> he needs to get skype
[10:01] <yesudeep> askvictor: Conversation > Add...
[10:01] <wong-deso> over2seeu: go to terminal, and type startx
[10:01] <Dr_willis> !medibuntu
[10:01] <legend2440> rodolfo: ok so cd /mnt/hdb1 then type dir to see files
[10:01] <wong-deso> or ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the x
[10:01] <Dr_willis> legend2440,  dir? is this Dos? :)
[10:01] <KRaZy_WaKa> and i believe you need medibuntu to get skype
[10:01] <_2> rodolfo you don't chroot for that.     sudo mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt     browse /mnt   run grub-install --root-directory=/mnt <device>   where device is something like /dev/hda   <<< did you get this ?
[10:01] <Slart> zubu12: check this link.. it's mentioned in that post too http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#Common_Booting_Errors_and_Some_Possible
[10:02] <KRaZy_WaKa> !skype
[10:02] <KRaZy_WaKa> there ya go rece
[10:02] <legend2440> Dr_willis: lol ok then ls?
[10:02] <MattK> Dr_williis  dir and ls are the same i think but im not sure but i use the "ls" command
[10:03] <over2seeu> wong-deso: it says that I need to remove /tmp/.X0-lock
[10:03] <askvictor> yesudeep: thanks!
[10:03] <wong-deso> askvictor: ADD CHAT

[10:03] <_2> which dir legend2440
[10:03] <_2> type dir
[10:03] <mhz128> Do certain programs need to be added to the safe Firewall list?
[10:03] <mhz128> does ubuntu have a firewall?
[10:03] <BlackRece> medibuntu is safe? or ... never mind
[10:04] <legend2440> over2seeu: no desktop? are you at command prompt?
[10:04] <jussi01> BlackRece: medibuntu is fine :)
[10:04] <over2seeu> yah
[10:04] <Slart> mhz128: yes.. iptables.. it's not active by default though
[10:04] <over2seeu> legend2440: yah
[10:04] <_2> mhz128 iptables is built into the kernel.  yes.   firestarter i think is the gnome fe
[10:04] <Slart> mhz128: or.. it's active but there are no rules
[10:05] <mdh76> mhz128, the new firewall is called ufw
[10:05] <mhz128> cool
[10:05] <mhz128> how do I manage it?
[10:05] <legend2440> over2seeu: have you tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[10:05] <mdh76> mhz128, there's none by default activated, but there's thousands available in the repository
[10:05] <mhz128> I installed a weather screenlet, however it doesn't seem to be connecting
[10:05] <mhz128> oh ok!
[10:05] <_2> mdh76 ufw a new ubuntu-tized fe ?
[10:05] <BlackRece> site just came up. in otherwords its good wares not hacked warez
[10:05] <xukun> hi all
[10:05] <mhz128> what is "fe"?
[10:05] <JBB> Hi
[10:06] <_2> front end
[10:06] <mhz128> ah
[10:06] <_2> or iron "chem"
[10:06] <rodolfo> _2: grub-install --root - directory=/mnt/hdb3 or grub-install --root - directory=/dev/hda ?
[10:06] <_2> rodolfo you added some spaces there dude
[10:06] <surajit> need some knowhow about altering iso images in ubtuntu
[10:06] <blaaah> hey guys, its me again. how do i install nvidia drivers? sudo wont work
[10:06] <over2seeu> legend2440: not yet
[10:07] <mdh76> _2 kinda.  its new in hardy.  but its all command-line (but simple enoguh for grandma) unfortunately it doesn't do QoS or anything like that - planned for Insomniac Iguana or whatever the next revision is
[10:07] <blaaah> krassi@krassi-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run
[10:07] <Slart> blaaah: restricted drivers.. nvidia
[10:07] <blaaah> sudo: unable to resolve host krassi-desktop
[10:07] <blaaah> krassi@krassi-desktop:~/Desktop$
[10:07] <_2> rodolfo sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hda
[10:07] <surajit> is there anyway i can alter an existing iso image (to put more files inside the image)
[10:07] <surajit> magic iso in winxp use to do it
[10:07] <_2> rodolfo sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hdb3 /dev/hda    <<<actually
[10:07] <rodolfo> _2: that's weird, since I've mounted on hdb3
[10:07] <Slart> surajit: there's almost always a way.. some ways are longer though
[10:07] <blaaah> so what should i do to make this work? i dont know su password :/
[10:08] <surajit> thanx Slart
[10:08] <_2> rodolfo like i intimated   i had to undo your bogus command.
[10:08] <surajit> can you point me in the right dierction
[10:08] <Slart> surajit: you could always create a new iso with the files from the old one.. and add some in the process
[10:08] <big-g> hey, does anyone know if vmware uses raw disks or does it use disk images only?
[10:08] <rodolfo> _2 ....
[10:08] <Slart> surajit: there's a terminal command called mkisofs I think..
[10:08] <surajit> Slart : the reason i want to alter the old one is because its a bootable format for a recovery cd
[10:08] <Slart> !iso
[10:08] <wong-deso> big-g:both
[10:08] <_2> rodolfo sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hda    <<< actually  if you mounted like i said.
[10:09] <rodolfo> _2 i just don't get what /dev/hda has to do with /mnt/hdb3
[10:09] <mdh76> blaaah, you'll need to fix your /etc/hosts file first so sudo is happy.  you may need to boot in recovery mode to do that since sudo won't work to give you root privs until you fix it, and you need root to fix it
[10:09] <xukun> how can I connect my s-video of the laptop to the tv? do I need to install -- add something or does it just work out of the box?
[10:09] <_2> rodolfo you have to install grub some place if you want the system to boot.    i.e.  MBR
[10:09] <big-g> which is better when useing raw disk in virtualization, virtualbox or vmware
[10:09] <blaaah> it worked fine in wmware :(
[10:09] <mdh76> blaaah, while you're in the recovery console, chmod /etc/hosts 0444 so other crazy processes don't dick with it
[10:09] <big-g> ?
[10:09] <rodolfo> _2, legend2440: check this out: http://mibbit.com/pb/5ozvLn
[10:10] <xukun> !s-video
[10:10] <_2> rodolfo and your  MBR   is not a partition
[10:10] <wong-deso> big-g: vmware does fine
[10:11] <rodolfo> _2, you mean my masterboorecord is damaged or uninstalled?
[10:11] <pretender> Can anyone tell me how to do a DVD Case insert template in glabels.  Avery 8891. It does not have one
[10:11] <Slart> surajit: apparently there an app called iso master that's supposedly can edit iso's.. never tried it myself though
[10:11] <wong-deso> rodolfo:  why dont u downlod supergrub.iso, u can fix ur grub just in minutes without headache
[10:12] <big-g> which should i recommend to my boss for virtualization...vmware or virtualbox? i use virtualbox but haven't messed around with vmware
[10:12] <_2> rodolfo no.  i mean a boot loader  has to be started by bios.  and bios does NOT read partitions to find a boot loader   it reads the MBR    so you have to imbed grub into the mbr for it  to be the primary boot loader
[10:12] <_2> rodolfo if that's not what you want   don't install it to /dev/hda    put it on /dev/hdb   or /dev/sda  or something
[10:13] <wong-deso> big-g: never tried virtual box, vmware is good
[10:13] <rodolfo> _2, that's what i want
[10:13] <_2> rodolfo which "that" ?
[10:14] <Starnestommy> big-g: I like virtualbox and qemu/kvm, but I've found that xen was fastest even though it was rather hard to set up
[10:14] <abrahan> hi... i need help with ubuntu ultimate
[10:14]  * _2 mentions both yea and nay   and someone says   that's it      how am i supposed to know which "that" they mean...
[10:14] <areels> shorewall doesnt exist on ebox
[10:15] <Flannel> abrahan: We don't support Ubuntu Ultimate.  You should try the real Ubuntu
[10:15] <rodolfo> _2: I want to fix my grub. I can't start up the system, it dies on that initialization screen
[10:15] <wong-deso> !shorewall
[10:15] <big-g> ya, virtualbox is extremely slow for sharing partitionns with linux
[10:15] <_2> rodolfo sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hda    <<< actually  if you mounted like i said.
[10:15] <abrahan> how to get/install nvidia drivers for a laptop compaq presario f754la?

[10:20] <legend2440> abrahan: open system>administration>hardware drivers is there a box in there that says nvidia? if so check the box to enable
[10:20] <rodolfo> _2: I got it. And I only came up with this: http://mibbit.com/pb/5ozvLn
[10:21] <_2> rodolfo k.  looks good.   test it.
[10:21] <abrahan> ok, i0m trying :)
[10:21] <daftman> hi does anyone know how to simulate gnome events through the command?
[10:21] <wong-deso> !compiz
[10:22] <daftman> line
[10:22] <daftman> e.g mute, volume up, shutdown etc?
[10:22]  * mdh76 chuckles politely
[10:22] <rodolfo> _2: I will. hold up
[10:23] <daftman> anyone know how to turn volume up through the command line?
[10:23] <_2> now anyone here a qemu guru ?   i can't get but 640x480x4  out of win95 running in qemu    ???
[10:23] <areels> !webmin
[10:23] <adam7> daftman: try alsamixer
[10:23] <areels> !ebox
[10:24] <daftman> adam7: yes but I want to do it through the gnome interface
[10:24] <Briareos> if one of you can help on the mktemp-problem, please read: http://pastebin.ca/1027782
[10:24] <areels> !shorewall
[10:24] <daftman> alsamixer just change the volume of the system through the back
[10:24] <xintron> I good dock for ubuntu?
[10:24] <areels> !firestarter
[10:24] <adam7> daftman: how do you mean? using alsamixer lets you do it...
[10:24] <_2> !info ufw
[10:24] <daftman> i have media keys that turn the volume up and down
[10:25] <daftman> i want to find out how to do that through the command line
[10:25] <daftman> sending the same keys
[10:25] <T-Man> anybody know how to make removable media automatically mount when it's inserted?  Particularly using usb media card reader..
[10:25] <wong-deso> !sudo
[10:25] <adam7> daftman: ah, try xmacro
[10:25] <mdh76> ufw is like a basic firewall for dummies.  quick & easy to allow/block ip's networks or ports
[10:25] <daftman> i'm trying to set up my remote control to turn gnome volume up and down
[10:25] <T-Man> Using Ubuntu 8.04
[10:25] <_2> daftman ummm showkey  ?
[10:26] <wong-deso> T-Man:  it should do it automatically
[10:26] <T-Man> no
[10:26] <daftman> what does show key do?
[10:26] <legend2440> daftman: open system>preferences.keyboard shortcuts look for volume up down etc
[10:26] <T-Man> I've looked and googled for days but to no avail
[10:26] <_2> daftman admittedly the output is a bit cryptic at first   it 0x"hex number here"
[10:26] <daftman> yep I see 0xa4 etc
[10:26] <Briareos> t-man when it asks you tell it to use "open in window" (or so) as default action
[10:26] <daftman> but I can't get that to work with irxevent
[10:27] <daftman> how do or as a command
[10:27] <legend2440> daftman: you can assign key combinations of your choice
[10:27] <T-Man> I get the error "cannot mount volume.  You are not privileged to mount the volume"  Never happended this way until I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04
[10:27] <daftman> legend2440: i tried looking up the shortcut, i just want to be able to simulate pressing those keys through a command line
[10:27] <mdh76> is the invalid hostname problem with sudo well known?  bercause its going to really tick off lots of people using hardy...
[10:28] <daftman> or through an irxevent
[10:28] <_2> daftman a4 is the hexidecimal output of the key you pressed    so you can find the key code that the system sees.   you can use that info to either make a script for doing the same thing   or change the keymap to have that key do things...   the possiblities are many
[10:29] <T-Man> as a workaround I can use storage device manager to mount as sudo
[10:29] <DaveyJ> quick question: whats the command to wget a range
[10:29] <T-Man> but that's a pain to keep doing that
[10:29] <DaveyJ> like whatever[0000-9999].jpg
[10:29] <daftman> _2: I don't think you understand me right. right now say for example xf86audiomute is set to mute audio in gnome
[10:29] <spxza> DaveJ: you can only glob on ftp servers
[10:29] <daftman> now i want to be able to mute that audio in gnome via a command line
[10:29] <daftman> either through dbus
[10:29] <DaveyJ> oh really?
[10:30] <DaveyJ> hrm
[10:30] <T-Man> Briareos, it doesn't ask, that's the problem
[10:30] <daftman> in kde I can do it via dcop and mixer0
[10:30] <Flannel> mdh76: Which problem is that?
[10:30] <DaveyJ> theres a range of pictures on a site i wanted to download
[10:30] <spxza> DaaveJ: or use a quick bash script
[10:30] <_2> a4_f=164
[10:30] <DaveyJ> well yeah i meant the bash script ;) i'm not good with scripting and i've done something similar before that someone pasted for me
[10:30] <ubuntu> ck der_acid
[10:30] <gaokai__> if I just want to show lines that I need of a text file in the terminal,what should I do?
[10:30] <DaveyJ> lost the command though
[10:30] <spxza> DaveyJ: there may be some shell features that could do it for you
[10:30] <daftman> how do you mute gnome sound
[10:30] <xintron> Any suggestions for a good dock?
[10:30] <daftman> so that the grphical audio picture shows up and mute it
[10:31] <T-Man> xintron, try this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedHardware
[10:31] <daftman> anybody know how to mute gnome sound via the command line?
[10:31] <mdh76> Flannel, something, and I suspect NetworkMangler though I haven't checked, erases the shortname from the /etc/hosts file, and sudo then refuses to grant root access
[10:31] <xintron> T-Man: What?
[10:31] <daftman> without going through alsamixer?
[10:31] <daftman> etc
[10:31] <DaveyJ> spxza: know a way i can find out?
[10:32] <mdh76> Flannel, I fixed mine by booting into recovery console, fixing the hosts file, and chmodding it 0444 ;)
[10:32] <Flannel> mdh76: That'd be a problem with network manager or whatever, but not sudo, and definately file a bug about it.
[10:32] <T-Man> xintron, sorry wrong link
[10:32] <adam7> daftman: I think amixer will do it for you
[10:33] <daftman> adam7: thanks but thats the last resort
[10:33] <mdh76> Flannel, I think I will, I don't want to spend the rest of my days in here describing to n00bs how to use vi to edit /etc/hosts in recovery console ;)
[10:33] <daftman> amixer don't display a little speaker on screen like when you press a mute button on your media keyboard
[10:33] <_2> daftman if you don't want to use that key to do this.  only want a command to mute it.   asoundconf  can probably do that.    i just install aumix and use it.     aumix -v 0
[10:34] <mdh76> Flannel, I'm surprised more people haven't come across it though, since its broken this way out of the box
[10:34] <adam7> daftman: amixer can change the sound stuff via arguments (it isn't the same as alsamixer)
[10:34] <cdavis> Is there a program that will try to print an xml file in a *pretty* way?
[10:34] <daftman> _2: yea i read about that, but I just want to see if there is anyway to send commands to the gnome desktop environment via a command line
[10:34] <daftman> things like eject
[10:34] <daftman> mute
[10:34] <daftman> etc
[10:34] <spxza> cdavis: you can get a stylesheet to transform it
[10:34] <xintron> When having flash on any page viewing with Firefox, I just get a grey box with an arrow, when I click the arrow the flash-banner/game etc shows, how do I get it so it shows from the beginning?
[10:34] <legend2440> daftman: amixer set Master mute?
[10:35] <bullgard4> [Gutsy>Hardy-Upgrade] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225046/  I did 'update-grub'. Why does Grub not offer a kernel version 2.6.24 to boot?
[10:35] <adam7> daftman: what do you mean, "send commands"?
[10:35] <_2> daftman then you need to be looking at metacity  and dbus ?
[10:35] <adam7> daftman: eject a cd? just type eject at the cmd line
[10:35] <daftman> send commands and like dcop or dbus
[10:35] <_2> or what ever they use
[10:36] <_2> yeah like dcop
[10:36] <adam7> if you wanna use dbus, you're gonna need to learn some programming, I think
[10:36] <daftman> but dcop only works on kde app
[10:36] <mudd`Hossam> anyone know how to set up postfix/ldap on ubuntu?
[10:36] <daftman> yea that's unfortunate because dcop can be use on the command line
[10:36] <cdavis> spxza, any gui to help do that well?
[10:36] <daftman> instead through some api
[10:37] <_2> daftman like i said look into metacity    i don't do gnome
[10:37] <Flannel> daftman: gnome-settings-daemon does all that.  So check its man page for anything good
[10:37] <ePax> bullgard1: Type uname -r
[10:37] <ePax> bullgard1: That will show what kernel you are using.
[10:37] <anon111> Every time I boot, I have to run "sudo modprobe ath_pci", then "sudo ifconfig ath0 up" to get my wireless to work. Firstly, is there any way to have Ubuntu run this automatically on startup? Also, when I run it, it asks me if I want to display it, or run it in a terminal. Is there a way to automatically make it run it in the terminal? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
[10:38] <bullgard4> ePax: "detlef@MD97600:/boot$ uname -r; 2.6.22-14-generic"
[10:38] <daftman> no man pages for gnome-settings-daemon
[10:38] <copyofjohan> hi, is it a problem to delete all content in /root and copy /etc/skel to /root?
[10:38] <Flannel> copyofjohan: Why do you need to do that?
[10:38] <xukun> how can I use the tv out of my laptop in ubuntu? my video card is ati x300
[10:38] <ePax> bullgard1: Then you have not upgraded to Hardy yet. Or you are booting your old kernel.
[10:38] <_2> daftman and you were correct,  i did misread what you wanted.    being a console user i think a little differently than the avarage ubunteer
[10:39] <spxza> daftman: you could always adjust the volume knob on your speakers :-)
[10:39] <copyofjohan> Flannel: I ran some some programs as root and want to reset /root.
[10:39] <bullgard4> ePax: hihihi
[10:39] <Flannel> copyofjohan: Why do you even have your root account enabled?
[10:39] <legend2440> xukun: what happen when you connect to tv?
[10:39] <daftman> lol spxza: yea that's defeats the purpose of remote
[10:39] <mdh76> hmmm does ubottu know about launchpad bugs?
[10:39] <Flannel> copyofjohan: /etc/skel is probably empty, so just remove all the contents of /root
[10:39] <xukun> legend2440, nothing
[10:39] <ePax> !ati | xukun
[10:39] <copyofjohan> Flannel: I dont.
[10:39] <spxza> daftman: hey, compromises
[10:40] <spxza> lol
[10:40] <daftman> spxza: the aim was to set up everything for the remote
[10:40] <ePax> anon111: It is possible that ubuntu does that for you.
[10:40] <legend2440> xukun: no vertical flip or blue box on tv screen?
[10:40] <copyofjohan> Flannel: but is it a problem?
[10:40] <daftman> and no wireless keyboard doesn't help
[10:40] <juelz> hello. i wanted to change the table_cache setting of mysql. i restarted mysql afterwards but the change does not work. assume i set table_cache=1024, after the restart it is still table_cache=64. what could be the problem? my server config is the following: http://nopaste.biz/42695
[10:40] <Flannel> copyofjohan: Is what a problem?
[10:40] <spxza> daftman: remote? you mean an infared remote?
[10:40] <bullgard4> [Gutsy>Hardy-Upgrade] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225046/  I did 'update-grub'. Why does Grub not offer a kernel version 2.6.24 to boot?
[10:40] <_2> copyofjohan you can as root    rm -r /root && mkdir /root -m 700
[10:41] <adam7> copyofjohan: you can always mv /root to /root-old or something and see if any problems result
[10:41] <adam7> bullgard4: make sure that that kernel is installed in the pkg manager
[10:41] <spxza> copyofjohn: what did you do as root, may I ask?
[10:41] <xukun> legend2440, nothing at all
[10:41] <anon111> ePax: When I run "sudo ifconfig", my wireless chipset isn't displayed, but when I modprobe ath_pci, and bring up ath0, and then run "sudo ifconfig", it does work. Thanks for replying to my question. :)
[10:41] <legend2440> xukun: are you connecting with s-video cable?
[10:42] <xukun> legend2440, yes
[10:42] <spxza> anon: you need to tell your box to load the module on bootup
[10:42] <daftman> spzxa: yes
[10:42] <spxza> daftman: oh, LIRC
[10:42] <daftman> tried that
[10:42] <xukun> legend2440, my tv is crt
[10:42] <daftman> lirc don't control gnome events
[10:42] <daftman> only particular apps
[10:42] <spxza> daftman: you want it just for volume control? or everything?
[10:42] <Krohnal> hey
[10:42] <daftman> everything
[10:42] <spxza> daftman: you configure lirc to do whatever you want
[10:42] <kokebok> I've got a Spyder2Suite (screen calibrator), but it doesn't work under Linux. If I connect my screen a Windows Pc to calibrate it, will the settings be saved in the screen, and be correct when I connect it to linux again?
[10:42] <daftman> but volume control first step
[10:42] <ePax> anon111: You have to add modprobe ath_pci modules to start at every start
[10:42] <legend2440> xukun: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[10:43] <legend2440> !paste
[10:43] <xukun> yes
[10:43] <daftman> not that easy to configure lirc when you can't control gnome
[10:43] <anon111> ePax: If I add it to /etc/modules, is that likely to do the trick?
[10:43] <spxza> daftman: that depends on what you want to do
[10:43] <bullgard4> adam7: How can one install a kernel _in_ a package manager? Please elaborate.
[10:43] <kokebok> xukun: Talked to me?
[10:44] <xukun> kokebok, no
[10:44] <spxza> daftman: but, you say everything, so it's a bit tough. What kind of remote is it?
[10:44] <_2> is disk encription supported in dapper ?    i have /dev/hda mounted on /home   and if it's well supported i'd like to encrypt it
[10:44] <_2> ?
[10:44] <Alex9999> hi
[10:44] <ePax> anon111: yeap... gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[10:44] <Alex9999> please someone can help me?
[10:44] <anon111> Thanks - I've just edited, and I'll give it a try. :)
[10:44] <adam7> bullgard4: sorry. Open Synaptic and make sure that the linux-generic package is installed, and the linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>-generic image is installed
[10:44] <xukun> legend2440, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14281/
[10:44] <Krohnal> Just a quick question. If I upgrade my current ubuntu distribution to the new one (8.04 LTS) will all my compiled programs be intact or will I have to set them up all over again ? :)
[10:44] <spxza> daftman: what you could do is write an app that lirc controls, and then send events to gnome
[10:44] <daftman> spxza: the remote is working ok
[10:45] <daftman> but sending the events to gnome is the hardbit
[10:45] <Alex9999> i've problems with Ubuntu Hardy....
[10:45] <spxza> daftman: not hard, fun :-)
[10:45] <Alex9999> i started to use linux a month ago... so i'm a half-beginner
[10:45] <daftman> gnome it's hard because there is no dbus
[10:45] <_2> Krohnal safest to recompile them all against the new libraries
[10:45] <Alex9999> someone can pvt me
[10:45] <daftman> that can be wired at the command line
[10:45] <ePax> !ask | Alex9999
[10:45] <adam7> daftman: if you want to mute the volume :  amixer set Master mute
[10:46] <Krohnal> _2, thought so :(
[10:46] <BlackRece> k!paste
[10:46] <BlackRece> !paste
[10:46] <Alex9999> ubottu ok!
[10:46] <_2> Krohnal you can "try it" and only rebuild what breaks...   not reccomended   but neither is installing non-ubuntu packages
[10:46] <bullgard4> adam7: Synaptic reports that linux-generic <IP_ADDRESS>.18 is installed.
[10:47] <T-Man> I get the error "cannot mount volume.  You are not privileged to mount the volume"  This never happened until I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04
[10:47] <adam7> bullgard4: ok, now we should check /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:47] <_2> Krohnal if any of them are mission critical,  i'd rebuild them.
[10:47] <legend2440> xukun: i too have ati card. to get tv out to work i added line to xorg.conf   Option	        "TVFormat" "NTSC-M" here is my xorg.conf  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14282/
[10:47] <fserve> there is a way to use speedstep on a celeron m5XX? (i used to have it on my old celeron m380... with p4-clockmod)
[10:47] <adam7> bullgard4: make sure there is a line that reads ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
[10:48] <Alex9999> I've this problem. In my Ubuntu Hardy, i can't add any custom session . if i start gnome-session-properties i CANT see any "ADD" button. in that tab i see only "Save current running programs" - I need to create alternative session for the same user because in one of this session i've to remove any graphics effect. Can anyone tell me how do i?
[10:48] <Krohnal> _2, k. Thankfully it's only 2 programs (egdrop and pisg) ehhe
[10:48] <daftman> adam7: yes i'm doing that now
[10:48] <daftman> thanks
[10:48] <mdh76> Flannel, my bug is bug 19775 from 2005 :)  I marked 234111 as a dupe of it too
[10:48] <BlackRece> Help, I can't do apt-get update!! see link http://paste.ubuntu.com/14284/
[10:48]  * mdh76 finally had a use for his launchpad account
[10:48] <T-Man> anybody know how to make removable media automatically mount when it's inserted?  Particularly using usb media card reader..
[10:48] <Yaksha> Anyone around can help me with a question about using the terminal?
[10:48] <BlackRece> all i did was add the medibuntu to wget
[10:49] <adam7> BlackRece: did you use sudo before that command?
[10:49] <_2> Krohnal yeah i'd rebuild them.  you don't want to cause a security hole but mismatching libs
[10:49] <bullgard4> adam7: Synaptic reports that the DEB program package linux-image-2.6.24-generic version 2.6.24-16.30 is installed.
[10:49] <_2> s/but/by/
[10:49] <Krohnal> _2 :)
[10:49] <BlackRece> yup
[10:49] <mdh76> other than getting chicks, of course
[10:49] <legend2440> xukun: are you trying to use tv capture card or trying to play movies on computer and watch on tv?
[10:49] <adam7> bullgard4: ok -- did you check on /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[10:50] <qwcdex> Hello

[10:51] <cOzAtS> hi all! anyone to help me fix my grub?
[10:51] <ePax> qwcdex: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:51] <bullgard4> adam7: /boot/grub/menu.lst does not include a title line with 2.6.24.
[10:51] <qwcdex> ePax that's ok i'll be there
[10:51] <adam7> bullgard4: as one would expect-- does it have this line? : ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
[10:51] <xukun> legend2440, I want play movie on my laptop on tv. I have no capture card

[10:51] <adam7> !caps | LogiTech
[10:52] <legend2440> xukun: are you in Netherlands? you may need to us PAL instead of NTSC. i'm not sure
[10:52] <ePax> bullgard4: It seems like you have not upgraded your system. Type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in your terminal.
[10:52] <juelz> hello. i wanted to change the table_cache setting of mysql. i restarted mysql afterwards but the change does not work. assume i set table_cache=1024, after the restart it is still table_cache=64. what could be the problem? my server config is the following: http://nopaste.biz/42695

[10:53] <ijusten> how do I make nvidia-xconfig run as a root?
[10:53] <Sturmeh> hy
[10:53] <Sturmeh> every time?
[10:53] <InMyLife> Hello, I'm a new user to ubuntu and I have an enquiry...I used to update manager to download updates, and everything went smoothly. After the install was complete, I was asked to restart the computer, however, as I was busy doing something else, I did not restart immediately. Then at one point, my ubuntu froze up, and I ended up using force-shutdown to turn off my computer. Is there any possibility that the update got corrupted? I re-ran update
[10:53] <adam7> bullgard4: hm, ok -- try this: sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.broken, and then sudo update-grub
[10:53] <Sturmeh> or just once ijusten
[10:53] <ijusten> Every time
[10:53] <_2> jussi01 is there no factoid on disk encryption or am i just overlooking it ?
[10:53] <Sturmeh> InMyLife if update is "corrupted" it will be evident next time you try to update
[10:53] <legend2440> xukun: yes that is what i use tv out for. to play movies on computer and watch on tv. i use mplayer and had to try different video drivers in mplayer preferences to get it to work
[10:53] <LogiTech> why no1 answearing?
[10:53] <xukun> legend2440, yes thanks I will
[10:54] <adam7> InMyLife: if the updates finished installing before the computer crashed, you should be fine
[10:54] <Sturmeh> InMyLife yeah it's fine
[10:54] <xukun> legend2440, I will let you know
[10:54] <xintron> Is there an easy way to install mono on ubuntu?
[10:54] <Sturmeh> ijusten does it normally require sudo to work?
[10:54] <legend2440> xukun: ok

Can anyone tell me how do i?
[10:54] <cOzAtS> i need step by step instruction to set up my grub
[10:54] <mdh76> xintron, let your mother use it?
[10:54] <anon111> ePax: Adding ath_pci to /etc/modules worked - thanks for your help! :D
[10:54] <Sturmeh> cOzAtS editing grub?
[10:54] <InMyLife> Yea, it had finished installing and prompted for the restart by the time it crashed. So I don't need to perform any further actions right?
[10:55] <cOzAtS> Sturmeh: yes
[10:55] <ePax> InMyLife: Since ubuntu asked for restart it means that it has updated your system. You whould have restarted your comp at once but i dont thik that its a big deal.
[10:55] <ijusten> Sturmeh, I installed xserv and afterwards when trying to run nvidia-settings it asks to add nvidia-xconfig to x configuration file
[10:55] <ijusten> but I have no idea how to it :)
[10:55] <Sturmeh> no it's fine InMyLife just remember when you crash to do this... "Alt+PrtScn~REISUB"
[10:55] <ePax> anon111: You welcome. You can get ath0 to auto start as well.
[10:55] <InMyLife> ok, what does that do?
[10:55] <bullgard4> adam7: "...; Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic; Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic; Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin; Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done"
[10:55] <Sturmeh> cOzAtS what did you want to change?
[10:56] <T-Man> what's the best way to backup my /home before I do a fresh Ubuntu install?
[10:56] <anon111> ePax: It did that automatically. :)
[10:56] <Sturmeh> T-Man just copy the whole "USERNAME" folder somewhere safe
[10:56] <ePax> InMyLife: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade and see if your system is up to date.
[10:56] <adam7> bullgard4: that should do it then -- check /boot/grub/menu.lst before you reboot to make sure that there is a title line for 2.6.24 in there, so you don't get stuck not being able to boot
[10:56] <generic> hey i installed ubuntu 8.04 when ever i reboot my machine my resolv.conf file removes what to do?
[10:56] <ePax> anon111: Nice (;
[10:57] <Sturmeh> cOzAtS ??
[10:57] <InMyLife> hold on i'll brb, i actually have to get on the right OS
[10:57] <_2> T-Man you could tarball it or disk image it and store it on a windows machine even
[10:57] <T-Man> Sturmeh, when I do a fresh install will there be an option to create /home as a seperate partition?
[10:57] <cOzAtS> i had an ide disk which during install was recognised as boot drive (hda) but my win +ubuntu install is on sda (i think) and i need to set this straght cause i cant login to win anymore
[10:57] <ePax> generic: Edit your resolv conf as root and it should stay the way it is. sudo -s
[10:57] <Sturmeh> you mean it won't boot into Win when you click "Windows" cOzAtS ?
[10:57] <_2> T-Man sorry you said safe.  disreguard that.
[10:57] <T-Man> I think my upgrade through synaptic hosed
[10:57] <cOzAtS> yes ntldr missing
[10:58] <generic> i make very first time as root
[10:58] <Sturmeh> T-Man you need to do a manual install, and assign a partition to the /home directory
[10:58] <leetsweden> .
[10:58] <cOzAtS> first it grub would load i try to foolw the fix with the live cd and now win wont boot
[10:58] <T-Man> sweet
[10:58] <Sturmeh> also one to "/" root, and "SWAP" <-- make that logical
[10:58] <Sturmeh> just install x-chat in the live session if u are not sure T-Man
[10:58] <T-Man> logical
[10:58] <ePax> c0zAts: What win do you use?
[10:58] <T-Man> ok
[10:58] <cOzAtS> xp pro
[10:59] <_2> Sturmeh logical ?
[10:59] <bullgard4> adam7: menu.lst seems to be all right now: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225079/
[10:59] <BlackRece> ok, still trying to sort out skype via mediverse, following instructions gives me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/14285/
[10:59] <ijusten> sturmeh, so, any ideas on my problem?
[10:59] <Sturmeh> T-Man "/" and "/home" should be Primary Partitions, "SWAP" can be Logcal partition
[10:59] <T-Man> i see
[10:59] <ijusten> because as long as I can't make that work, everything else on my screen looks like shit
[10:59] <T-Man> i get it
[10:59] <Sturmeh> ijusten it's a problem with the nvidia drivers not editing your config
[10:59] <_2> Sturmeh why can't / and home be logical too ?
[10:59] <ijusten> how would you start resolving it? :)
[10:59] <Sturmeh> _2 you can't boot off logical partitions
[11:00] <adam7> bullgard4: yeah, you look pretty good
[11:00] <bullgard4> adam7: And now re-boot?
[11:00] <_2> Sturmeh linux doesn't care where it lives
[11:00] <T-Man> man.. reconfiguring everything is goona be a pain
[11:00] <ePax> c0zAts: Search on google for fixboot. You need windows cd to be able to fix that problem. but its not big deal.
[11:00] <_2> Sturmeh you can have / on a logical   or even on no partition at all
[11:00] <adam7> bullgard4: yep
[11:00] <Dr_willis> _2,  i was thinking the same thing.. but i always use all primaries. :)
[11:00] <Sturmeh> ijusten, in nividia-config you should try to "save settings to X" then copy the preview it gives you and update the x config manually
[11:00] <bullgard4> adam7: I will be back in 10 mins.
[11:00] <Sturmeh> _2 my bad, /boot needs to be primary no?
[11:00] <adam7> bullgard4: hopefully ;)
[11:00] <_2> Dr_willis yeah the guy missed that one.
[11:00] <T-Man> dual monitors, mouse options... ugh could go on and on
[11:01] <_2> Sturmeh no.
[11:01] <ijusten> sturmeh, it doesn't allow me to do that before I edit the xconfig
[11:01] <Sturmeh> what bootloader are we talking about
[11:01] <Alex9999> I've this problem. In my Ubuntu Hardy, i can't add any custom session . if i start gnome-session-properties i CANT see any "ADD" button. in that tab i see only "Save current running programs" - I need to create alternative session for the same user because in one of this session i've to remove any graphics effect. Can anyone tell me how do i?
[11:01] <_2> Sturmeh grub
[11:01] <_2> Sturmeh or lilo
[11:01] <Sturmeh> grub i suppose can boot off a logical partiton
[11:01] <ePax> Sturmeh: Before you do any changes to your X, save one working copy. In case something goes wrong. cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-copy
[11:01] <Sturmeh> not me ePax tell ijusten
[11:01] <T-Man> wheres the best place to get the ubuntu hardy image so I can burn a cd?
[11:01] <_2> Sturmeh lilo can even boot without a partition
[11:02] <ePax> Sturmeh: Sorry then :D
[11:02] <_2> Sturmeh that's how mine is setup.
[11:02] <ijusten> when I try to run nvidia-settings, it says that I can't do that before I ad "nvidia-xconfig" to x configuration file..
[11:02] <Sturmeh> lol, _2 that's news to me, i once tried installing ubuntu on a logical partiton and no luck
[11:02] <ePax> T-Man: www.ubuntu.org
[11:02] <Sturmeh> why even bother making primary partitions then _2?
[11:02] <_2> Sturmeh well live and learn   :)
[11:02] <ePax> !nvidia | ijusten
[11:02] <Sturmeh> _2 and the answer to the other question?
[11:03] <leetsweden> ...
[11:03] <legend2440> T-Man: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[11:03] <_2> Sturmeh "<Sturmeh> why even bother making primary partitions then _2?" <<< that one ?   no reason i can think of.
[11:03] <T-Man> ty legend2440
[11:03] <Dvyjones> I get the follorwing boot error: "wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found", also the wlan0 doesn't exist, but the network card is detected. How do I assign wlan0 to the network card on 8.04?
[11:03] <Dr_willis> _2,  its how the hard drive 'standard' grew over the years... at one time there was only primary partitions. :)
[11:04] <Dr_willis> _2,  or so my reading of 'history of computers 101'  seems to imply
[11:04] <adam7> _2: Sturmeh: Windows will only install on primary partitions, if that is of any concern
[11:04] <_2> Sturmeh windows would cry about it if you ran it and tried to look at the disk without any primary.
[11:04] <KrimZon> is setting up apache/mysql/php in hardy ontopic here?
[11:04] <_2> adam7 yeah that ^
[11:04] <ijusten> I have a backup, epax, but before I installed xserv
[11:04] <Dr_willis> _2,  why not ask.. WHY only 4 primaries... why extended/logical.. :)
[11:04] <ijusten> And I kind of need xserv
[11:04] <adam7> KrimZon: sure
[11:04] <ijusten> so to make everything work I need to know how to add the line
[11:04] <Sturmeh> _2 Logical partitions are containted within a Primary partition anyway, i guess it's only logical :P
[11:05] <_2> Dr_willis exactly.  and i have made up to 8 primaries   but only my bootloader liked it.
[11:05] <ijusten> It gives the instructions but it assumes I know the commands, which I dont
[11:05] <T-Man> I wonder where my nearest mirror would be
[11:05] <ePax> ijusten please look at this webpage. It explains how to install nvidia and ati drivers
[11:05] <Dr_willis> _2,  oh? ive never seen an app that would let me make more then 4
[11:05] <ePax> !nvidia | ijusten
[11:05] <_2> Sturmeh extended actually  but yes.
[11:05] <Sturmeh> u can't boot off logical partitions with all bootloaders, that's all i know
[11:05] <KrimZon> ive followed a guide i've found on setting up apache/mysql/php but at the moment i can't get php files to actually execute, firefox just tries to download them, and they get the source rather than output
[11:05] <_2> Dr_willis bootitNG does.
[11:05] <Sturmeh> bootitNG is scary
[11:05] <Sturmeh> :O
[11:06]  * T-Man needs to take linux classes
[11:06] <legend2440> T-Man: where are you?
[11:06] <T-Man> ware, ma
[11:06] <_2> Sturmeh heh   yeah.   i like it.
[11:06] <Sturmeh> _2 you use it?
[11:06] <ijusten> ubottu, I have done that, and it worked dandy for two months before I put in another screen, decided that I wanted separate desktops and not just to expand the previous one and installed xserv
[11:06] <ijusten> well, epax then
[11:06] <T-Man> ubottu is intelligent :)
[11:06] <ePax> KrimZon: try to ask in #apache
[11:07] <Sturmeh> ubottu, i think i have a crush on you
[11:07] <Sturmeh> SOMG
[11:07] <Sturmeh> lol
[11:07] <legend2440> T-Man: maine? mayb portland state univeristy?
[11:07] <_2> Sturmeh only if i mess a disk up now days.  but years ago i used it to boot several ms installs    in my prelinux days.   10 years ago
[11:07] <mudd`Hossam> anyone know how to set up postfix/ldap on ubuntu?
[11:07] <ePax> ijusten: have you tryed this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:07] <Sturmeh> mayvbe if it was free _2
[11:07] <T-Man> maybe, will try
[11:07] <ijusten> epax, still nothing about xserv
[11:08] <_2> Sturmeh the copy i got was free,  it started off free.
[11:08] <cOzAtS> ePax:  i need step by step insructions please spear me 5 mins
[11:08] <_2> Sturmeh about 2 years later it went comerical
[11:08] <Sturmeh> cOzAtS do u know where windows is cOzAtS?
[11:08] <Sturmeh> yeah gay _2
[11:08] <Sturmeh> ( sorry )
[11:08] <cOzAtS> Sturmeh: yes
[11:08] <xintron> Is it possible to make a "shortcut" that runs a specific command in the terminal and also, removes the menu from the terminal?
[11:09] <funkyhat> KrimZon: which guide did you follow?
[11:09] <legend2440> T-Man: sometimes your better off using torrent files
[11:09] <T-Man> legend2440, I think there is a way to run a ping test on the list of servers
[11:09] <Sturmeh> um xintron not sure, why would you want to remove the menu?
[11:09] <adam7> xintron: if you use gnome-terminal and profiles, you should be good (profiles let you change the look of the gnome-terminal)
[11:09] <KrimZon> funkyhat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[11:09] <_2> xintron yes.    but if you want the menu permanently removed there is an option in the gnome-terminal to do that too
[11:09] <Sturmeh> ah adam7'
[11:09] <T-Man> I found it
[11:10] <InMyLife> hi sorry
[11:10] <cOzAtS> ive messed app device.map and menu.lst i think and i dont understand the ouput of fdisk -l
[11:10] <Sturmeh> cOzAtS put it on ubuntu paste
[11:10] <leetsweden> ...
[11:10] <Sturmeh> http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[11:10] <adam7> xintron: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=PROFILENAME               Open a new window containing a tab with the given profile. More than one of these options can be provided.
[11:11] <Sturmeh> tell us the link when ur done cOzAtS
[11:11] <InMyLife> sturmeh, you asked me to do the sudo apt-get update command
[11:11] <leetsweden> .
[11:12] <ePax> c0zats: Get your windows xp cd. restart your computer and boot from the cd. When you get option to install system KLICK UNDER IT to repair system. You have to get your cmd window from CD to be able to run 2 commands. When you DO get your CMD with your XP CD type fixboot c: and fixmbr ... You can search on google for more deailded howtos thay are planty of them.
[11:12] <InMyLife> to check whether the updates have been correctly installed.
[11:12] <Sturmeh> not me but what happened?
[11:12] <ePax> cOzAtS: Does your ubuntu starts?
[11:12] <InMyLife> oh it must've been ePax then
[11:12] <Sturmeh> ePax it does, he can't boot windows
[11:12] <Sturmeh> i got him to print the output of "fdisk -l" to print.ubuntu.com
[11:12] <Sturmeh> eh paste.*
[11:13] <_2>    someone should make a pastebin script for the ubuntu pastebin   so people could just pipe output to the pastebin      run blah | pastebin.sh        ya know ?
[11:13] <InMyLife> I got a bunch of lines starting with "Hit" and "Ign", such as Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed Release.gpg
[11:13] <cOzAtS> Sturmeh:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/14286/
[11:13] <Sturmeh> windows xp or vista?
[11:13] <cOzAtS> sda is the win-ubuntu partition
[11:13] <cOzAtS> xp pro
[11:13] <Slart> _2: there is one
[11:13] <ePax> InMyLife: As i have told you. Since ubuntu asked for restart after updates your system can not have corrupted updates because they where allready installed.
[11:13] <bullgard4> adam7: I am back. "detlef@MD97600:~$ uname -r; 2.6.24-16-generic" But my framebuffer console has disappeared.
[11:14] <_2> Slart ?
[11:14] <Slart> !info pastebinit
[11:14] <adam7> bullgard4: that's interesting -- which one?
[11:14] <Slart> !into webboard
[11:14] <InMyLife> okok
[11:14] <InMyLife> thanks
[11:14] <Slart> !info webboard
[11:14] <Sturmeh> cOzAtS these all partitions on one harddrive?
[11:15] <ePax> c0zats: it does not matter where you have your win... your ubuntu starts but you have to fix new MBR for your XP. Please read what i have told you above.
[11:15] <_2> Slart ok.    if i ever upgrade i'll leave my script behind then.
[11:15] <cOzAtS> sda has 2 partitions the windows and the ubuntu-in ubuntu all are in 1 pertition(boot-root-home etc)
[11:15] <Sturmeh> yeah listen to ePax
[11:15] <ePax> InMyLife: You welcome.
[11:15] <cOzAtS> the other drives are storage
[11:15] <InMyLife> just wondering, how stable is ubuntu designed to be? what would be a typical frequency of freezes?
[11:15] <Sturmeh> cOzAtS listen to what ePax said, it will fix it...
[11:16] <Sturmeh> InMyLife depends how you use it, the casual user won't let it freeze, infact it freezes alot less than windows on any level
[11:16] <cOzAtS> ive tried that...:( it loses grub after fixboot and fixmbr
[11:16] <Sturmeh> then you reinstall grub?
[11:16] <big-g> anyone here use shorewall?
[11:17] <Sturmeh> InMyLife it's pretty stable once you get to know it, it's got many tools for the poweruser.
[11:17] <cOzAtS> reinstalling the grub gives me an "ntldr missing"
[11:17] <ePax> InMyLife: Sometimes if they are more updates to system a reboot is required to get everything to work. Smaller upgrades or non system upgrades does not require restart. Ubuntu which is installed properly is stable as one OS can be.
[11:17] <Sturmeh> InMyLife just remember if "X" crashes, and you can't fix it, just hit Alt+Ctrl+backspace
[11:18] <Sturmeh> :D
[11:18] <_2> InMyLife  trying to run something for the first time and things misconfigured   or a terrably broken app    would be just about the only "freeze"     and i have done that i think 3 times total in 9 years
[11:18] <cOzAtS> can you tell me where is the win partition to edit it in the menu.lst?  (hd0,1)?  (hd0,2) etc?
[11:18] <leetsweden> .
[11:18] <ePax> c0zats: Where do you have ubuntu and where do you have XP? On what disks?   Oh yea, one more question...If i downloaded Firestarter from Add/Remove, it's on an always-on basis right? Even when the program isn't graphically showing.
[11:20] <dgz> it is bad
[11:21] <dgz> i type wrong letter and oh nooo
[11:21] <Sturmeh> haha InMyLife
[11:21] <leetsweden> .
[11:21] <Sturmeh> you want a better one InMyLife?
[11:21] <bullgard4> adam7: I am missing 6 framebuffer consoles 160x50. In Gutsy I had made an entry 'vga16fb' in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules/ and blacklisted vesafb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.
[11:21] <Sturmeh> dgz USE APPEND
[11:21] <anirudh0> dgz: thats because the default thing that comes with ubuntu has lots of stuff missing..like in insert mode the cursor keys cause vague key combinations to show up
[11:21] <_2> dgz only because you don't yet understand it.    don't blame an airplain for pilot error.
[11:21] <ePax> InMyLife: Firestarter if just gaphical app for firewall. Ubuntu firewall is installed and running from the beggining.
[11:21] <dgz> i go to the line i want to edit, i hit <i> and start editiong
[11:22] <Sturmeh> ah yea, dgz you are refering to the letters not dissapearing when you backspace... lol just write over them to get rid of them
[11:22] <anirudh0> dgz: you have to replace vi-tiny with vi-full..if you want to use it to its full potential
[11:22] <Sturmeh> dgz don't use "I"
[11:22] <Sturmeh> dgz use "A"
[11:22] <BlackRece> er, its not working, type y and yes and evn ok but nothing! still stuck
[11:22] <adam7> bullgard4: sorry, I don't know about framebuffers :( ask the question to the channel?
[11:22] <bullgard4> adam7: Yes, I will. --  Thank you for your help.
[11:22] <dgz> HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO USE ANYTHING ELSE SINCE I DONT HAVE INTERNET ON IT NOW! looks like hosts is broken now
[11:22] <_2> [ins] to go into insert mode
[11:22] <anirudh0> dgz: vi is not you run of the mill editor...its much more powerful...right now you are better off with nano or gedit
[11:22] <InMyLife> Is there a better firewall for ubuntu? epax, if there's already an inherent firewall installed, is firestarter required?
[11:23] <xukun> legend2440,
[11:23] <Alex9999> HI! please, see this url (table 8-21 row4) - it says i've a "ADD BUTTON" to add a  SESSION in gnome so i can customiza different session for the same user.  I'VE UBUNTU HARDY and i DON'T HAVE THAT BUTTON. Can someone help me??
[11:23] <legend2440> xukun: yes?
[11:23] <dgz> and it keeps telling me i have a few .swp files of hosts now
[11:23] <_2> dgz nano is easier for beginners than vi
[11:23] <Sturmeh> i herd when you capatilize certain parts of ur message, people actually read it
[11:23] <dgz> and i dont how to delete them
[11:23] <Sturmeh> _2 he can't use nano for certain things
[11:23] <anirudh0> dgz: swp files come in when you shutdown vi improperly.
[11:23] <Sturmeh> _2 visudo for example
[11:23] <dgz> i know that
[11:23] <xukun> legend2440, If play a movie with vlc then its good, but with mplayer there is no picture
[11:24] <Alex9999> HI! please, see this url http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/latest/prefs-sessions.html (table 8-21 row4) - it says i've a "ADD BUTTON" to add a  SESSION in gnome so i can customiza different session for the same user.  I'VE UBUNTU HARDY and i DON'T HAVE THAT BUTTON. Can someone help me??
[11:24] <anirudh0> dgz: a simple rm *.swp should remove them
[11:24] <dgz> i just ctrl+alt+del coz it made me so mad
[11:24] <xukun> legend2440, also..
[11:24] <Sturmeh> dgz just "sudo nautilus" and delete them
[11:24] <_2> Sturmeh and why not ?    i use mc for visudo !
[11:24] <dgz> sudo DONT WORK
[11:24] <ePax> InMyLife: bu default ubuntu has firewall installed. All ports should be closed and non listening. Firestarter is just Graphical program to easy control your ports and see whats happening. If you want to open or close ports you can do it with firestarter.
[11:24] <dgz> thats why i tried to edit hosts
[11:24] <Sturmeh> haha u messed up ur visudo?
[11:24] <xukun> legend2440, also with the normal ubuntu screen on the tv if I move the mice screen moves too
[11:25] <Sturmeh> :\
[11:25] <dgz> i only wanted to install nvidia drivers
[11:25] <ePax> dgz: if your dont have root enabled do "sudo -s"
[11:25] <anirudh0> Sturmeh: will deleting /etc/sudoers..and rebooting creating a new default sudoers file?
[11:25] <dgz> sudo didnt work for some crazy reason
[11:25] <BlackRece> HELP, i've even highlighted the "<Ok>" at the bottom of the screen and still nothing?! have i missed summut
[11:25] <Sturmeh> wouldn't count on it anirudh0 dunno
[11:25] <_2> Sturmeh no.  it uses /usr/bin/sensiable-editor   or /usr/bin/edit
[11:25] <xukun> legend2440, I,m missing the have of the screen when I move right or left or up and down
[11:25] <ePax> BlackRece: How about "enter" or just press "Y"

[11:28] <R2r> alex9999, whats the problem
[11:28] <Stroganoff> Alex9999 manually create your session through creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/
[11:28] <Sturmeh> so you "saved" it after editing it incorrectly dgz ?
[11:28] <legend2440> xukun: don't know why screen would move with mouse. never had that happen
[11:28] <dgz> Sturmeh yes
[11:28] <Sturmeh> :\
[11:28] <xukun> legend2440, I,m using mythbuntu which plays mplayer to play the video, so I have to figure where I find this
[11:28] <dgz> i did that a few times
[11:28] <bullgard4> [Gutsy>Hardy-Upgrade] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225092/ Gnome gibt keine Umlaute, sondern Fragezeichen aus, die Konsolen dagegen schon.  Neither of my panels are loading either
[11:30] <Sturmeh> lol dan__
[11:31] <Sturmeh> there he goes
[11:31] <R2r> hey can i install ubuntu with no gui then manually install fluxbox?
[11:31] <_2> man all that typing and then i missed him by two seconds.
[11:31] <anirudh0> R2r: yes
[11:31] <Sturmeh> i know _2 lol
[11:31] <anirudh0> R2r: check out fluxubuntu...it does that exactly
[11:31] <_2> it's hard to help people that are so impatiant
[11:31] <R2r> anirudh, you form india?
[11:31] <xukun> legend2440, I like mplayer, much better than vlc
[11:31] <anirudh0> R2r: yes
[11:32] <R2r> mee to wheer you from
[11:32] <anirudh0> xukun: good for you
[11:32] <Stroganoff> R2r: you can do it like this: http://tomfichtner.de/linux/wiki/Installation
[11:32] <_2> xukun my vote is for vlc  ;/
[11:32] <Alex9999> R2r and other user interesting: MY PROBLEM IS: i want to have multiple session (NOT RUNNING AT SAME TIME) for the same user BECAUSE i want the user can choose the DESKTOP graphic profile at LOGIN SCREEN. So i've to create 2 session: 1)full of graphic effects and themed 2)Standard without effect and very light...  HOW DO I??
[11:32] <Stroganoff> Alex9999 manually create your session through creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/
[11:32] <dan__> Sturmeh: yeah. That didn't work
[11:33] <dan__> Sturmeh: closed the terminal though
[11:33] <BlackRece> ePax: this is what my terminal console is showing me > http://paste.ubuntu.com/14289/
[11:33] <Sturmeh> dan__ what did you try?
[11:33] <R2r> manully create it then
[11:33] <anirudh0> Alex9999: yes...as Stroganoff says..then manually edit the session from the prefs menu
[11:34] <legend2440> xukun: yes i don't use vlc. like i said i had to try differnt video drivers in mplayer to find one that finally worked for tv out
[11:34] <anirudh0> how do you PM users in irc...i mean so that the conversation does'nt show up in main chat
[11:34] <dan__> Sturmeh: Well, I'm not sure what to try at the moment. I'm opening Terminal from a text file I have saved on my desktop, because nothing else seems to be loading
[11:34] <Sturmeh> do this dan__ do "metacity --replace" in terminal, then press alt+f2 THEN close the terminal
[11:34] <Alex9999> Stroganoff: ok, i created it  cloning GNOME.desktop FILE... Now when i start that desktop i called "GNOMELIGHT.desktop" will GNOME save the graphic preference ONLY for that SESSION?
[11:34] <ePax> BlackRece: highlight OK and press enter.... or scrool down to the end of the page  there should be one more OK highlight it as well and press enter
[11:34] <Sturmeh> dan__ when you reboot does the problem resolve?
[11:34] <ePax> anirudh0: What client do you use?
[11:34] <R2r> alex9999, do you know how to configure cfg's
[11:34] <anirudh0> ePax: pidgin
[11:34] <Sturmeh> do u know how to cake cakes?
[11:35] <dan__> Sturmeh: no. I've rebooted like, 6 times now. Logging out doesn't work either
[11:35] <ePax> anirudh0: On most clients /quote nick will open new window
[11:35] <dan__> Sturmeh: same thing when I login as root too
[11:35] <Sturmeh> oh i c dan__ what did you do prior to panels disappearing?
[11:35] <Alex9999> R2r: no. i started using linux nly by a month

[11:36] <dan__> Sturmeh: I haven't added anything else here that wasn't already
[11:36] <legend2440> xukun: no problem. that is strange that mouse would move screen like that
[11:36] <ePax> anirudh0: Try my nic... IM me.
[11:36] <anirudh0> R2r: you should'nt need to set it up
[11:36] <R2r> can i first downlaod fluxbox repo then add it later using some media
[11:36] <ePax> nick*
[11:36] <dan__> Sturmeh: except the updates ofcourse
[11:36] <dgz> grub doesnt work now

[11:41] <dan__> Sturmeh: how do I fix this from Terminal?  Please register! ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg )
[11:45] <Sturmeh> haha anirudh that is why u can't pm anyone
[11:45] <xintron> Lets say I split two terminals in terminator vertically. How do I move the terminal at the bottom to the top (aka, switch place of the two showing)?
[11:45] <Sturmeh> ah so you CAN message a staffer, interesting
[11:45] <anirudh> Sturmeh, oh...ok...will register then
[11:45] <gvzer_> hi
[11:45] <^root^> hi! I want to download http://www.repository.voxforge1.org/downloads/SpeechCorpus/Trunk/Audio/Original/ on my HD such that the directory structire is preserved, how do I do that?
[11:46] <Sturmeh> dan__ do you have any real reason other than time wasted not to re-install?
[11:46] <mudd`Hossam> anyone know where i can find openldap qmail shcema files?
[11:46] <PaRaSiTe> How do I make GRUB recognise OSs on multiple HDDs?
[11:46] <zubu> anyone please tell me how to fix error 17 on grub?
[11:46] <Sturmeh> PaRaSiTe installed before or after grub was?
[11:46] <zubu> sorry
[11:46] <Sturmeh> zubu did u not get my link?
[11:46] <Sturmeh> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 <-- zubu
[11:47] <zubu> Sturmeh: yes
[11:47] <Sturmeh> it explains it fairly well
[11:47] <zubu> Sturmeh: how do i check all HDD are detected?
[11:47] <imexil> linux1 The downgrade was pretty much messing up my system. So have to try and find another way of getting my wireless working (e.g. get a proper wifi card ;))
[11:47] <dan__> Sturmeh: No, I guess not
[11:47] <Sturmeh> zubu under a list of hardware of some sort, you should find all your harddrives listed
[11:48] <PaRaSiTe> Sturmeh: Uh... I suppose before.
[11:48] <dan__> Sturmeh: meh. Thanks. I'm going to go do this then. Thanks.
[11:48] <ePax> PaRaSiTe: by default grub should recognize all partitions ans OSs...
[11:48] <abcdefghi> hi! I want to download http://www.repository.voxforge1.org/downloads/SpeechCorpus/Trunk/Audio/Original/ on my HD such that the directory structure is preserved, how do I do that?
[11:48] <imexil> linux1 The downgrade was pretty much messing up my system. So have to try and find another way of getting my wireless working (e.g. get a proper wifi card ;))
[11:48] <PaRaSiTe> ePax: Including ones on different HDDs?
[11:48] <leetsweden> .
[11:48] <Sturmeh> dan__ just make sure you aren't following tutorials for distros of ubuntu that aren't hardy
[11:49] <Sturmeh> yes it should automagically detect everything PaRaSiTe
[11:49] <dan__> Sturmeh: I'm not following any tutorials. I installed, installed updates. Copies some files over. Installed more updates, reset, and now I'm here
[11:49] <PaRaSiTe> Sturmeh, ePax: Thanks. :)
[11:49] <anirudh0> Sturmeh, but what if the os is on another physical disk?
[11:49] <ePax> PaRaSiTe: Yeap. If you install ubuntu as "last" os it should mount all your disks and if it just mounts but not adds them to Grub you can enable them in grub.menu.
[11:49] <Sturmeh> do you change your software sources from ubuntu before the updates? dan__
[11:49] <zubu> Sturmeh: it shows int the device info that a primary Hard drive of 160 Gb exists!
[11:50] <dan__> Sturmeh: I don't remember changing anything
[11:50] <PaRaSiTe> Thanks.
[11:50] <ePax> PaRaSiTe: Yw
[11:50] <leetsweden> yeah
[11:50] <Sturmeh> aslong as the disk is mounted it should add it at the time anirudh0 ( not mounted like for file access, just detected )
[11:50] <Jav13r_> what is the best tool to play mp3's in ubuntu? (i was a fan of  winamp in windows)

[11:50] <alado2> are intel 945GM video cards compatible with linux?

[11:54] <robg_> zubu: what is on the 160 Gb harddisk ?
[11:54] <dan__> Sturmeh: prolly not, since the stuffs already installed

[12:00] <koheleth> thats mp3 > flv
[12:00] <dgz> so, how am i supposed to install nvidia drivers without going in recovery console
[12:00] <leetsweden> .
[12:01] <zubu> robg_ how can i check my BIOS name?
[12:01] <anirudh0> koheleth, yes...amongst many other formats
[12:01] <robg_> zubu: you only need the BIOS to start up multiboot systems.
[12:01] <koheleth> well cool, thanks again
[12:03] <robg_> zubu: and to start up from CD-ROM
[12:06] <dgz> guys, please tell me how am i supposed to install nvidia drivers since sudo tells me it's unable to resolve my host
[12:06] <jrib> dgz: use: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[12:06] <do> hi
[12:06] <robg_> dgz: nvidia drivers are normally contained in ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:06] <jrib> dgz: to fix your unrelated sudo problem, pastebin your error and the command you run
[12:07] <anirudh0> dgz, sudo not working is bad...pastebin your /etc/sudoers
[12:07] <jrib> robg_: I don't think that's true
[12:07] <dgz> jrib: you know i wont do that, right?
[12:07] <jrib> dgz: why?
[12:07] <eth01> big-g: #shorewall
[12:07] <dgz> because if i knew what are you talking about, i would probably dont need your help
[12:07] <anirudh0> dgz, you seem bent on preventing guys from helping you
[12:08] <eth01> er, eek, i didn't know i had scrolled up. :)
[12:08] <eth01> silly eth01.
[12:08] <jrib> dgz: you just told me sudo "tells" you something.  I want to know exactly what it tells you.  Do you understand?
[12:08] <dgz> sudo: unable to resolve host krassi-desktop
[12:08] <eth01> dgz: not our problem.
[12:09] <jrib> dgz: good.  Now tell us the contents of your /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files.  Use the pastebin
[12:09] <dgz> not talking to you
[12:09] <jrib> !pastebin | dgz
[12:09] <p> ubuntu german
[12:09] <bascule> !hostname | dgz
[12:10] <dgz> i already tried the so called Alternative. seems it doesnt work
[12:10] <jrib> dgz: it doesn't work because your sudo is already broken
[12:11] <dgz> already?
[12:11] <bascule> in /etc/hosts <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain   localhost   <hostname>
[12:11] <dgz> it's broken by definition
[12:11] <jrib> ignore what the bot just said, it's too late for that
[12:11] <anirudh0> lol
[12:11] <dgz> too late?
[12:11] <bascule> is it
[12:11] <bullgard4> Although my locales are de_DE.UTF8, after an Gutsy>Hardy upgrade GNOME is in English. How to adjust GNOME to de_DE.UTF8?
[12:11] <dgz> it is not TOO late. i didnt do ANYTHING
[12:11] <p> i have a problem!! I have installed mac osx and then ubuntu on the same hdd, when i started the grub shows no mac partition only the ubuntu and a other OS but the other OS (mac) diddn start
[12:11] <jrib> dgz: okay, but can you pastebin the files so we can help you?
[12:12] <robg_> p: sometimes installs get messed up and you have to do a re-install.
[12:12] <anirudh0> p: can you post /boot/grub/menu.lst on pastebin
[12:12] <dgz> omg
[12:12] <dgz> anyway
[12:12] <dgz> i know exactly what to do with hosts
[12:12] <p> i have a problem!! I have installed mac osx and then ubuntu on the same hdd, when i started the grub shows no mac partition only the ubuntu and a other OS but the other OS (mac) diddn start
[12:13] <dgz> i just DONT want to reboot again in that shitty recovery console and use vi!
[12:13] <jrib> dgz: there's no other way
[12:13] <dgz> is there a workaround WITHOUT reboot
[12:13] <bascule> no
[12:13] <xintron> I have a problem with my wireless-. I see wireless networks. But when I try to connect I can't. It tries to connect (get IP from dhcp) but it never works. On one network however, with WPA, I got a signalstrenght of 78% or so, but I don't get signal from other networks (opens) when I try to connect to them. What might be wrong?
[12:13] <jrib> dgz: well you can use nano instead of vi
[12:13] <dgz> yea, nano seems a lot better
[12:14] <anirudh0> vi is better...nano is easier
[12:14] <dgz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14297/
[12:14] <dgz> so
[12:14] <bloops> How can I install 32bit sdl_image in ubuntu ia64 ?
[12:14] <dgz> i only have to add krassi-desktop on the end of first two lines, right?
[12:15] <Jav13r_> why cant i play mp3 in ubuntu? it doesnt have the codec by default?
[12:15] <xintron> anirudh0: Why can't I get syntaxhilight in vi? isn't ":syntax auto" correct?
[12:15] <jrib> xintron: make sure you installed the "vim" package.  By default you only get vim-tiny
[12:15] <anirudh0> xintron, it is...but just install the vi-full package
[12:15] <fran> vi /etc/bim/vimrc
[12:15] <leetsweden> .
[12:15] <asdlfkjzxv> Hey I have a really n00b quesiton.
[12:15] <anirudh0> dgz, you sudoes file is messed up
[12:15] <fran> and uncomment the place where syntax on is commented out
[12:15] <anirudh0> *sudoers
[12:16] <dgz> looks like it is by default
[12:16] <asdlfkjzxv> Whenever I minimize a window, it isn't minimized the way I want it. It still takes up most of the screen
[12:16] <dgz> i didnt do anything
[12:16] <luca__> qual'è l'indirizo della chat italiana?
[12:16] <anirudh0> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost krassi-desktop.WORKGROUP-> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[12:16] <p> no help muetas
[12:16] <anirudh0> luca__, #ubuntu-it
[12:16] <asdlfkjzxv> How do I change the default size so that when I minimize a window it is much smaller
[12:16] <xintron> ah, thanks jrib and anirudh0
[12:16] <hard> oi
[12:17] <jrib> dgz: here's what mine looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14298/
[12:17] <fran> asdlfkjzxv minimize or unmaximize?
[12:17] <pwang> hi, just asking. is there a specific channel on which to discuss packages on?
[12:17] <fran> minimize means go away
[12:17] <asdlfkjzxv> unmaximize fran
[12:17] <jrib> pwang: #ubuntu-motu I suppose
[12:17] <dgz> jrib: what should i do then?
[12:17] <fran> just drag the window smaller , and close it
[12:17] <dgz> make mine exactly like yours?
[12:17] <anirudh0> xintron,do what fran said...maybe you dont need to install vi-full...but doing that is better anyway
[12:17] <p> i have a problem!! I have installed mac osx and then ubuntu on the same hdd, when i started the grub shows no mac partition only the ubuntu and a other OS but the other OS (mac) diddn start
[12:17] <fran> the window manager will save the postion
[12:17] <fran> usually
[12:17] <asdlfkjzxv> I do that
[12:17] <fran> er size
[12:17] <asdlfkjzxv> but whenever I reopen anyh other window
[12:17] <biro> hi all, I'm havng trouble with my wireless card, I did a clean install of ubuntu 8.04 and it tells me I need to enable the retricted B43 driver which I do. It then instructs me to restart but after the restart I'm back at square one. The wireless card is not installed and I'm instructed to enable the driver again
[12:17] <fran> hmm
[12:18] <asdlfkjzxv> it goes back to that giant default unmaximized size
[12:18] <fran> asdlfkjzxv no clue then
[12:18] <asdlfkjzxv> it's really annoying
[12:18] <asdlfkjzxv> :(
[12:18] <jrib> dgz: change "jrib" to "krassi-desktop" in the file I pastebinned
[12:18] <dgz> ok
[12:19] <anirudh0> asdlfkjzxv, check the windows menu under system->prefs
[12:20] <asdlfkjzxv> anirudh0: there is no option to set the default unmaximized size
[12:20] <alastor666> plop all
[12:20] <asdlfkjzxv> It's still big and annoying to resize
[12:20] <p> cry matter
[12:21] <anirudh0> asdlfkjzxv, compiz or metacity
[12:21] <asdlfkjzxv> compiz
[12:21] <xintron> How do I get rownumbers in vim?
[12:21] <asdlfkjzxv> compiz-fusion
[12:21] <robg_> p: your configuration is unconventional and not many people will have experience with it.
[12:21] <anirudh0> asdlfkjzxv, i'm not very sure...but there should be some config option in ccsm
[12:21] <osc> does anybody tried remastering of kubuntu?
[12:22] <osc> or ubuntu?
[12:22] <anirudh0> asdlfkjzxv, first you'll have to install compizconfig-settings-manager though
[12:22] <anirudh0> osc, yes...but the install failed :)
[12:23] <leetsweden> .
[12:23] <basae> who knows about install printer ip1000?
[12:23] <asdlfkjzxv> I have the settings manger installed
[12:23] <robg_> basae: printer install by looking through driver list and picking correct driver.
[12:23] <fran> xintron  :set nu
[12:24] <pwang> uh, can anyone fill me in on why the devs are so slow to get firefox 3 rc1 onto the hardy repos? it's been more than a week since it was released.
[12:24] <pwang> and intrepid already has it.
[12:24] <CuBe0wL> hi all! I've got a certain problem with a 3rd party GTK based app. I've read there was a similar problem in ubuntu in k3d almost a year ago. I've tried to look up the bugreport, but I haven't find a solution for that

[12:26] <anirudh0> koheleth, avidemux reads the mp3 that is associated with the video
[12:26] <dabbill> I have a if_running setup for my music player on conky but it only pulls up the first line after ${if_running} and nothing else.

[12:27] <anirudh0> dabbill, you are looking for {}
[12:27] <fran> p plox to have some stfu
[12:27] <p> whaaaaaaaaatttt
[12:27] <anirudh0> p: how can anyone help if you keep posting arbit stuff instead of your problem???
[12:27] <odinsbane> does anybody know why openssh-client -server ssl-cert are 'kept back' when I do an upgrade.
[12:28] <jrib> p: please stop being annoying
[12:28] <anirudh0> odinsbane, not sure about the client
[12:28] <p> thats my problem irish callboy: i have a problem!! I have installed mac osx and then ubuntu on the same hdd, when i started the grub shows no mac partition only the ubuntu and a other OS but the other OS (mac) diddn start
[12:28] <martian67> where can I get an install disk
[12:28] <anirudh0> odinsbane, but if the server cert changed...other clients wou;d'nt recognize you next time they connect
[12:28] <martian67> for 8.04
[12:28] <martian67> that is not also a livecd?
[12:28] <jrib> !alternate | martian67
[12:28] <martian67> somone mentioned some kind of 'alternate installer"
[12:28] <anirudh0> p: as i said before ...post your menu.lst
[12:29] <odinsbane> so they would probably work if I manually upgraded them?
[12:29] <dabbill> anirudh0, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14301/ this is my .conkyrc file
[12:29] <robg_> martian67: //releases.ubuntu.com
[12:29] <odinsbane> or reinstalled them.
[12:29] <dabbill> anirudh0, i cant see any thing wrong with it
[12:29] <p> anirudh0 ok but where
[12:30] <anirudh0> !pastebin|p
[12:30] <robg_> martian67: ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso is a single boot OEM version with encrypted file system option.
[12:30] <martian67> robg_: how hard is it to get
[12:30] <anirudh0> dabbill, i used conky a long time ago...are you sure you want it, and not an equivalent screenlet?
[12:30] <Dvyjones> I get the follorwing boot error: "wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found", also the wlan0 doesn't exist, but the network card is detected. How do I assign wlan0 to the network card on 8.04?
[12:30] <robg_> martian67: as easy as pie.
[12:30] <odinsbane> Has anybody else had problem with their xine display settings after upgrading to hardy.  I have to manually configure hue/balance/saturation otherwise the colors look .... very poor.
[12:31] <martian67> robg_: i mean to install
[12:31] <martian67> the text one
[12:31] <dabbill> anirudh0, only 2 i know of is gkrellm and conky
[12:31] <martian67> is it a challenge?
[12:31] <Dr_willis> I perfer conly over screenlets :)  but i did spend a week+ tweaking it ages ago.. so i learned it well.
[12:31] <jrib> martian67: ubotu just told you how
[12:31] <robg_> martian67: install is much easier because no GRUB
[12:31] <p> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14302/
[12:31] <icewaterman> does anyone know a good howto for how to configure ubuntu to use full disc encryption in case it is already installed and the rootfilesystem is already encrypted?
[12:31] <martian67> robg_: no grub?
[12:31] <anirudh0> dabbill, check out screenlets...they work with compiz
[12:31] <robg_> martian67: single boot. Takes your entire drive.
[12:31] <AlbertLSD25> hi everyone!! xD
[12:32] <martian67> robg_: how does it not use grub?
[12:32] <jrib> martian67: it does
[12:32] <Dvyjones> Hej leetsweden!
[12:32] <dabbill> anirudh0, okay, but lookin at the code can you see why only MUSIC is put up when i start rhythmbox ?
[12:32] <robg_> martian67: it has a dedicated installer and you only have to fill in about 5 lines
[12:33] <Gin> is there any irc client alternative to xchat for Ubuntu?
[12:33] <anirudh0> dabbill, the code is fine...but you have a max size variable set
[12:33] <martian67> Gin: irssi
[12:33] <jrib> Gin: weechat, irssi
[12:33] <leetsweden> ;P
[12:33] <icewaterman> Gin: pidgin, irssi
[12:33] <odinsbane> Gin bitchX
[12:33] <Dr_willis> Gin,  thers dozens of irc clients for linux
[12:33] <jrib> odinsbane: bitchx isn't in hardy
[12:33] <odinsbane> ircii
[12:33] <anirudh0> dabbill, so maybe the other output is going outside the windows
[12:34] <martian67> i think be probly wants a gui client
[12:34] <anirudh0> *conky window
[12:34] <smmagic> Or, if your prefer scripting you can run wirc/mirc under wine or crossover
[12:34] <dabbill> anirudh0, if i kill conky and restart it while my music player is open it works fine
[12:34] <Gin> icewaterman: I want a client with a GUI
[12:34] <p> anirudh0: What should i do
[12:34] <odinsbane> jrib well it works, you just can't get it from the packagaes
[12:34] <anirudh0> p: plz do a apt-get --reinstall install grub...and then post the command output as well as the new menu.lst
[12:35] <Gin> pidgin is not reallt a client to me
[12:35] <Dr_willis> if you perfwe REAL scripting - learn to use perl/other languages and xchat./irssi :) not mIRC :)
[12:35] <Dr_willis> I use xchat under windows and linux.
[12:35] <p> Okay
[12:35] <leetsweden> mirkkwar!
[12:35] <dabbill> anirudh0, and i only have width setup, dont see any thing about the length
[12:35] <U-Gutsy-Gibbon> whereis openssl
[12:35] <U-Gutsy-Gibbon> openssl: /usr/bin/openssl /usr/include/openssl /usr/share/man/man1/openssl.1ssl.gz <--- does this means that OpenSSL is already installed, i installed it from the CD
[12:36] <xintron> Anyone using terminator and if so, is it possible to move the terminals when I've splitted the window?
[12:36] <anirudh0> dabbill, do the commands work in a terminal...the "rhythmbox-client --no-start --print-playing-format "%tt" i mean
[12:36] <AlbertLSD25> i am a linux n00b and have a short question about the shortcut circle @ the desktop like mac OS. Whats the name of it 2 update it?? ;) sry i am from germany so my english ist not perfekt??
[12:36] <odinsbane> so to upgrade openssh-server and -client I need openssh-blacklist?
[12:37] <p> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14305/
[12:37] <anirudh0> AlbertLSD25, you want a mac lookalike?
[12:37] <AlbertLSD25> that shortcut circle and a mac outfit if u know one xD
[12:37] <dabbill> anirudh0, just puting that in terminal gives me ">" with nothing next to it.
[12:38] <anirudh0> dabbill, thats your problem then :)
[12:38] <leetsweden> hehe
[12:38] <anirudh0> dabbill, if the command does'nt work , then conky cant do anything about it
[12:38] <dabbill> anirudh0, hurm, if i restart conky while rythmbox is open every thing works fine, its only if conky is opened before rythmbox that it doesnt work correctly
[12:39] <anirudh0> dabbill, see...the command only gives a valid output when you are actually _playing_ something
[12:39] <anirudh0> dabbill, which explains the behaviour you observe
[12:40] <dabbill> anirudh0, i just restarted conky and conky is working fine now. but if i put that command in to terminal it gives me the same resault.
[12:40] <anirudh0> p: strange...it seems mac is'nt being recognized even now..
[12:40] <p> the shit root thing is missed
[12:40] <anirudh0> dabbill, hmm...execi just makes conky execute the command and paste the output
[12:41] <AlbertLSD25> i look for a synaptic pack but i cant found one for that thing
[12:41] <anirudh0> p: please address replies..and cursing wont fix your system :)
[12:41] <dabbill> anirudh0, rhythmbox-client --no-start --print-playing-format "%tt gives me no output in terminal just a blank line
[12:41] <anirudh0> AlbertLSD25, check out mac4lin on sourceforge.net
[12:41] <Gin> if you have compiz enabled, how do you initiate the scale effect?
[12:41] <erUSUL> !language |
[12:42] <p> i didn understand you speak a easy englisch
[12:42] <anirudh0> dabbill, its "%tt", not "%tt
[12:42] <AlbertLSD25> thats for the mac theme right?? thx for ur help
[12:42] <anirudh0> p: put someone's name before your reply...so we know whom you are talking to :)
[12:42] <dabbill> anirudh0, ahh okay that worked
[12:42] <anirudh0> dabbill, great
[12:43] <p> your name and :
[12:43] <leetsweden> and
[12:43] <anirudh0> p: yes...is your mac partition mounted right now?
[12:43] <erUSUL> !who | p
[12:43] <dabbill> anirudh0, the it doesnt even bring up Title, Artist or any of that when i start rhythmbox if conky is already open, it only brings up MUSIC---------
[12:43] <p> anirudh0: yes
[12:43] <dabbill> anirudh0, know of any way to fix that?
[12:44] <anirudh0> p: then please post the result of "cat /etc/mtab"
[12:44] <anirudh0> dabbill, sorry..nope
[12:44] <efu> I'm going to format a new drive, and I'm wondering which file system to use. Is there any reason to use ext3? ReiserFS and XFS seem to beat it on every benchmark
[12:44] <dabbill> anirudh0, thanks for trying :)
[12:45] <anirudh0> p: sorry for the roundabout method..but i need to know where the mac partition is
[12:45] <p> anirudhO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14308/
[12:45] <erUSUL> efu: ext3 is rock solid against power outages (and other errors) becouse it does full journaling by default
[12:45] <anirudh0> efu, ext3 has the widest support...gparted can resize ext3 without bugs
[12:46] <anirudh0> efu, but you are right..reiserfs is better in almost everything else
[12:46] <leetsweden> my desktop is so nice now xD
[12:46] <erUSUL> efu: other failsystems (xfs and jfs) do metadata journaling and are known to be more "fragile"
[12:46] <mohadib> too bad ots main developer is in prison
[12:46] <dabbill> anirudh0, weird thing is if i open rhythmbox, kill conky and restart it. Every thing works perfect, i can close and open rhythmbox as much as i want and my music section disappears and reappears like it should.
[12:46] <efu> ah, I see
[12:46] <Ashley> Hi
[12:46] <devilash> That was embarrasing.
[12:47] <efu> hm
[12:47] <efu> it's tempting to try reiser
[12:47] <Gin> what is the utility called to changethe compiz settings?
[12:47] <jrib> !ccsm | Gin
[12:48] <anirudh0> efu, reiserfs  is also more reliable...as in reiserfsck can fix almost any thing you throw at it
[12:48] <anirudh0> p: the thing is..you menu.lst is missing the missing the mac section
[12:48] <leetsweden> g
[12:48] <anirudh0> p: check this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249944

[12:50] <wizardgold> any ideas ??
[12:50] <efu> anirudh0, cool. thanks for the info guys. I think I'll try reiser and see how it performs. It's not like I have very important data to store there anyway =)
[12:50] <Gin> jrib: yes, I have simple-csm open, but it is very limited

[12:51] <bullgard1> [Gutsy>Hardy-Upgrade] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225092/ Gnome is in English, but all 6 virtual consoles in German. How to troubleshoot?
[12:51] <mindframe-> what's the story on the ubuntu proposed repos?
[12:51] <jrib> bullgard1: you should tell the channel what you want to happen
[12:51] <jrib> mindframe-: for testers (people that don't care if their computer explodes)
[12:51] <p> thanks anirudho for your helo
[12:51] <bullgard4> I want to happen that Gnome displays letters and words in German.
[12:52] <jrib> bullgard4: at the login screnn, click on options and select your language
[12:53] <dgz> guys, i have yet another problem to solve :)
[12:53] <ePax> bullgard4: use synaptic package manager and install language pack german for gnome and gnome-base german
[12:53] <dgz> the nvidia drivers wont install when X is running
[12:53] <dgz> should i kill X? :)
[12:54] <Dr_willis> dgz,  you did try the driver thats in the repos first?
[12:54] <jrib> dgz: you are using System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers  to install them?
[12:54] <bullgard4> ePax: Both DEB packages are installed.
[12:54] <BlackRece> OK! i've answered my own question cos no-one else seemed to know that answer and even tho its simple, its not obvious! when installing skype, when you get the first screen on about usage license and stuff, to select <Ok> to continue, PRESS TAB!!! then press enter! <Ok> will turn red (like in the lamp install) and u can then press enter to continue!!! I'm such a n00b!!
[12:54] <dgz> no, im using shell
[12:54] <dgz> should i use this tool?
[12:54] <Dr_willis> dgz,  what is your specific video card?
[12:54] <leetsweden> ...
[12:54] <dgz> 8800GT, i got the proper drivers
[12:54] <Dr_willis> dgz,  i noprmally just have to do a 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new'
[12:55] <Dr_willis> dgz,  i do NOT install the ones from nvidia.com
[12:55] <dgz> aah, stupid me
[12:55] <dgz> i already got the proper file though
[12:55] <dgz> why should i use it?
[12:55] <jrib> dgz: better to use the repositories
[12:55] <dgz> maybe apt-get will install previous version
[12:55] <dgz> oook
[12:56] <jrib> dgz: you get free security upgrades and your X doesn't break on kernel upgrades
[12:56] <dgz> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new in shell?
[12:56] <jrib> dgz: sure, or let the gui do it for you.  Same result
[12:56] <xintron> Is it possible to get the terminal to flash in the windows bar when I get a hilight in irssi?

[12:58] <dgz> coz thats the last message i got, and im free to type in the shell again. huh
[12:58] <p> i have a problem how i wrote this /dev/sda1    (hd?,?)
[12:58] <erUSUL> dgz: sudo nvidia-xconfig ?
[12:58] <xintron> jrib: I have connected to a shell and using irssi from there, is it then possible to get that hint on my computer?
[12:58] <dgz> i see
[12:58] <gonzo1983> ragazzi ma qui si parla solo in inglese?
[12:58] <jrib> xintron: if google returns fruitful results, yes

[13:01] <conatic> hi, I look for a pkg : qt4.4 for ubuntu how can I get it ?
[13:02] <areels> jrib:  i want to be able to install *.deb packages
[13:02] <dgz> is it fully functional though?
[13:02] <jrib> conatic: it's in hardy-backports
[13:02] <odinsbane> areels if you are using ubuntu you probably have dpkg already installed. ... dpkg -i nameofpacakge.deb
[13:03] <jrib> areels: you should stick to ubuntu repositories first.  Then install only ubuntu deb's.  Random debian debs may not work.  To install, just double click on them

[13:03] <jrib> dgz: you would need to restart X after you verify xorg.conf is in order
